AndrewRogue: Give Opening <_<

Adm H Sopko: I did...

AndrewRogue: Wrong comp <_<

Adm H Sopko: Ah...

Adm H Sopko wants to send file Naruto - GO!!!.mp3.

AndrewRogue: *mental sigh* ~Does this really have to be so difficult?~

Adm H Sopko: ~This is quite similar to another situation I've already been in... thats why I'm just sitting back and enjoying myself.~

Adm H Sopko: ~That was before you joined, though...~

AndrewRogue: ~What happened?~

Adm H Sopko: ~Something similar. A guy we started with named Queklain... the guy who gave me the crystal rose... the guy who made it in fact... we had just met the HUNTERs for the first time and they decided he was evil and asked him a question... Jerry didn't like the answer... so he threatened to kill him... so I had to stand up to the HUNTERs and Jerry to get them not to...~

AndrewRogue: ~Queaklin... he was important to you, wasn't he? You truly cherish his crystal rose. Was he a close friend?~

AndrewRogue received C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew\My Documents\download\andrewrogue\Naruto - GO!!!.mp3.

Adm H Sopko: ~First friend I really had on this thing... it took a while for Jerry and I to really see eye to eye after that... Jac was... always quiet... I wish you could have met him.~

AndrewRogue: ~What happened to him?~ *mentally quiet*

Adm H Sopko: ~The HUNTERs... the next time we ran into them... they killed him~

AndrewRogue: *she's quiet* ~You've lost so many friends.~

Adm H Sopko: (Oh... and...)

Adm H Sopko wants to send file Ghost in the Shell - Rise.mp3.

Adm H Sopko: ::After a bit:: ~Mm.~ ::As if he just nodded in agreement::

AndrewRogue: ~I... don't want anyone else to die. What do you think could have happened to Captain Bigsbie?~

Adm H Sopko: ~I don't know... Anything is possible~

AndrewRogue: ~It just seems so out of place though... Everyone in Verity's group has been accounted for, haven't they? Could... could it just have been a fluke event? Bad timing? Or could someone still be after us?~

Adm H Sopko: ~I think it's the first and last one... Remember how Verity said his patron put him here to "cause havoc". Now that Verity is on our side, they might have ressurected someone else to do just that.~

AndrewRogue: ~Then we should leave as soon as possivle.~ *she sighs* ~I don't want my mom to be in any more danger. My dad... Heh.~

AndrewRogue received C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew\My Documents\download\andrewrogue\Ghost in the Shell - Rise.mp3.

AndrewRogue: *she shifts tracks* ~What's your family like?~

Adm H Sopko: ::You can almost sense him get a bit reluctant:: ~My... family?~

AndrewRogue: ~I... I don't mean to pry.~

Adm H Sopko: ~It's alright... I haven't really told anyone much about myself despite it all...~

AndrewRogue: ~You don't have to share. Sometimes people... don

AndrewRogue: t want to talk about things.~

AndrewRogue: *oddly reluctant* "Hunter... what do you think of... us? The group that is. Right."

AndrewRogue: *~~

Adm H Sopko: ~...well... it sure has come a long way since that inn in Asgard where it all began... but right now... I enjoy the group. You and Bandon are good to have around... Jerry is a good friend and the only other one here from the beginning... and it looks like my instincts were right about Verity and Aurelia...~

Adm H Sopko: ~It.. was tough losing Jacynth and Adora... but... we have to go on...~

AndrewRogue: ~How do you do it Hunter? How do you keep going? It seems so... so easy for you.~

Adm H Sopko: ::Pause::

Adm H Sopko: ~It's not... You... I'm just glad you weren't there to see what happened when we found you guys dead in that maze place~

AndrewRogue: ~...what happened?~

Adm H Sopko: ~I... sort of snapped. Bandon or Lea could tell you better... I don't remember much of it~

Adm H Sopko: ~I got so worked up and paranoid that I passed out...~

AndrewRogue: ~... ... ... ...Hunter. What do... what do you think of me?~ *that's really, really quiet*

Adm H Sopko: ::Pause, and a slight change when he comes back:: ~Ah...~

AndrewRogue: *she waits quietly, and its hard to figure that out, watching her happily play checkers with Jerri*

AndrewRogue: *quietly* ~I... nevermind. It was a silly question.~

Adm H Sopko: ~No... it wasn't...but... I don't know, really...~

AndrewRogue: ~I... I really care for you all Hunter...~ *that seems a pretty unsatisfactory answer*

Adm H Sopko: ~I know you do, Aria..~ ::Another one::

AndrewRogue: ~I don't know how to feel Hunter... Bandon... You...~ *there is a long, embarassed silence* ~N-nevermind.~

Adm H Sopko: ::A silence from him for a bit too:: ~My Mom... I guess you could have called her a social creature... everyone in the caravan knew her and liked her. She was a great cook too... I miss her cooking...~

Adm H Sopko: ~My Dad... I guess I respected him... he was hard on me, but for good reason, you know? I did have a lot to inherit... We all worked so hard on that caravan... we're old money, though, I guess, but you could never tell by the amount of work we did. If you ever saw our house in Pernolde though... heh... you'd probably get jealous.~

AndrewRogue: *a gentle mental laugh*

Adm H Sopko: ~I think thats why I keep going... I want to get back to the Yarovan and prove that I can live up to the family name. I want to prove it to Lea, her father... and everyone in the caravan I let down that day... well... thats one of the reasons anyway...~

AndrewRogue: ~I'm sure you can Hunter...~

Adm H Sopko: ::He goes silent for the moment, during the whole slip episode::

AndrewRogue: ~Are you all right?~

Adm H Sopko: ~Heh... yeah... I'm just an idiot~

AndrewRogue: ~Not really...~

Adm H Sopko: ::Loooong intermission for the chess match::

AndrewRogue: *she also remains silent during that time*

Adm H Sopko: ::Suddenly, once she can see Hunter settle back comfortably:: ~But... to your other question... I do care for you, Arianna... the same as everyone else on this... maybe a little more, I don't know... but it's hard for me to say...~

AndrewRogue: ~I... I understand.~

Adm H Sopko: ~I'm not rejecting you or anything... it's just... it's complicated...~

AndrewRogue: ~I... I... wasn't...~ *probably the mental equivilant of a blush* ~I do understand... really. I know Lea is quite... important to you.~

Adm H Sopko: ::He chuckles:: ~Is it that obvious?~ ::You can't tell if he's surprised or being humorous::

AndrewRogue: ~...I, I remember when she slapped Jacynth for saying, well, you know... You went to so much to protect her...~ *she just sort of trails off* ~Have you... with her?~

Adm H Sopko: ::He seems almost reluctant to answer that:: ~...yes.~

AndrewRogue: ~Is it... how...~ *the mental equivilant of an embarassed choke* ~N-nevermind. I'm thinking too much.~

Adm H Sopko: ~Heh... I can't really answer for you, can I? But... okay...~ ::He thinks back to all the times he's stonewalled Bandon during the course of this:: ~It does hold a lot of significance... the first time...~

AndrewRogue: *a mental nod, and she eventaully fades off as she falls asleep* ~Thanks...~

Adm H Sopko: (Oh, you want the AND Rock Opera song?<G>)

AndrewRogue: Sure ^_^

Adm H Sopko: Heh

AndrewRogue: Not too far off Arianna's voice. A smite bit heavy.

Adm H Sopko: Heh

Adm H Sopko: Could you hear the slight male voices in background of the chorus?

AndrewRogue: No I couldn't really <_< I'll have to listen again.

AndrewRogue: Hey Soppy, you wouldn't have the ending to King of Bandit Jing lying around would you? <_<

AndrewRogue: *ending theme

Adm H Sopko: No

AndrewRogue: Wish I could find it <_<

AndrewRogue: *saves this*
