  1. [17:21] Arkalest SabinaYou spot the wily Sarah sleeping what appears to be a headache off on the balcony of the housing complex- One that incorporates a gazebo-like structure in its design, shileding them from the torrential downpour.
  2. [17:22] Sabina decides to get out of the rain, and sedately walks into the gazebo.
  3. [17:24] Arkalest "Bluh?" mutters Mirah, opening a weary eye. Her mother and her are laying on their stomachs on a blue mat of sorts.
  4. [17:25] Mary Sarah is snorring slightly some marks on her body telling a tale of a wild night.
  5. [17:27] Sabina takes a seat, leaving Sarah in peace as she watches the rain from beneath her hood
  6. [17:28] Arkalest Sabina: Mirah looks at you for some seconds and then snorts, going back to sleeping.
  7. [17:31] Arkalest Sabina: Judging by the smell of alcohol and such, there has been a wild night involved there- And you catch whiff of some scents you never thought you'd smell.
  8. [17:31] Sabina wrinkles her nose.
  9. [17:31] Arkalest Burnt rubber, burnt...Steel?

  11. [17:34] Mary She slowly comes to awareness, eyelids fluttering around as she looks up
  12. [17:35] Sabina "Good morning." Sabina turns and gives a short nod to Sarah.

  14. [17:40] Mary "Mrgngn " she mutters " So early?"
  15. [17:44] Sabina "Not so really."
  16. [17:44] Sabina *much
  17. [17:45] Arkalest " 'S...Mmh...what...Hour?"
  18. [17:45] Sabina checks the time on her AR
  19. [17:46] Mary "fells like early.."
  20. [17:47] Arkalest Sabina:Something along the lines of 12 AM
  21. [17:47] Sabina "Just after 12."
  22. [17:52] Mary "Urgh.. Well, we had a job to do "
  23. [17:52] Mary She looks around and then belches out a pink nebular with green sparkles in it that drifts in sabinas direction " Sorry "
  24. [17:53] Sabina side steps the cloud, looking at it with something between disgust and curiosity
  25. [17:56] Mary "I think it is harmless"
  26. [17:56] Mary Sarah pokes Mirah a bit
  27. [17:57] Arkalest "Gnrhg? Bft." She reaches out and wipes drool from her chin."...Tasting pirple."
  28. [18:00] Mary "Its normal...I think. So.. We had a job.."
  29. [18:01] Arkalest "...Did we?"
  30. [18:07] Mary She looks a bit unsure at Sabina

  32. [18:14] Sabina "I have not been given any further tasks since our debrief."
  33. [18:16] Arkalest ".........Does seducing the dog count as a task?"
  34. [18:16] Sabina ". . ." Sabina blinks
  35. [18:18] Mary "uh?"
  36. [18:20] Arkalest "I mean, seducing the Chief." She elbows Sarah coily.
  37. [18:21] Sabina ". . . I don't think it does. At least not in the way that you were asking."
  38. [18:21] Mary "Which I did not do ..."
  39. [18:21] Mary She says working hard to maintain her expression
  40. [18:24] Arkalest "Sureeee."
  41. [18:27] Mary "I did not try to seduce her.."
  42. [18:37] Sabina clears her throat.
  43. [18:37] Sabina "So, Sarah, what are your thoughts on the paintings?"
  44. [18:39] Mary "That they are a danger
  45. [18:42] =-= WolfieBed is now known as Pale_Wolf
  46. [18:49] Sabina "I agree. There's something deeply off putting about them as well."

  48. [19:06] Arkalest "Dunno what you two are talking about, but shmsh." Mirah buries her head into Sarah's neck- Then her nostrils flare. ":...ALso."
  49. [19:06] Arkalest "Why do you smell like Ikris?"
  50. [19:07] Sabina jerks back
  51. [19:07] Sabina "We were hanging out last night and today."
  52. [19:11] Arkalest "Hanging or "Hanging".
  53. [19:12] IcePickLobtomy "N-n-nothing like that at all!"
  54. [19:13] Arkalest "Hey, I am not haing on you. There's enough of her for everyone, after all!"
  55. [19:16] IcePickLobtomy SHe waves her arms frantically "No, no I mean. . ." She blinks letting the rest of the statement sink in "A-a-a-a-a-a"
  56. [19:18] Arkalest "A-what? "
  57. [19:18] Arkalest Mirah sighs. "Look, I am far willing to share- And if you're into threesomes.."
  58. [19:18] Arkalest "Or." She tentatively eyes Sarah. "Even foursomes."
  59. [19:19] IcePickLobtomy We're not. . Eeeeppp." You can see the glow from beneath her hood as she tries to sink into the chair
  60. [19:20] Arkalest "Oh, really?" She raises an eyebrow. "....Wait, how old are you?"
  61. [19:22] IcePickLobtomy ". . 16. . . A-a-a-and I'm not interested in I-i-kirs like that. Friends, just friends!"
  62. [19:24] Arkalest "That's a pity, but I can see why you'd want to keep her around. So....How did you met her?"
  63. [19:29] IcePickLobtomy She takes a few breathes, still blushing incandescently. "The day before yesterday. Natah was showing me around the gym. She offered to spar with me. We ended up friends after that."
  64. [19:29] =-= Mary is now known as sleepscia
  65. [19:30] Arkalest "You spar?" There's actual surprise in her tone.
  66. [19:31] IcePickLobtomy "I do yes, I'm not the most accomplished practitioner of my clan's style, I am far from unskilled either."

  78. [01:46] Mary <And Ikris could use some friend you two, and I would assume that the same goes for you two considering that you are also new here."
  79. [01:46] Mary *sage Sarah is wise.. and full of herself *
  80. [01:47] =-= YOU are now known as Sabina
  81. [01:49] =-= Mary is now known as Sarah
  82. [01:53] Arkalest Mirah elbows Sarah in the stomach. "You could use a friend too."
  83. [01:55] Sabina "I've only been here for about. . 3 days?" Then she nods 'But if you're friends? with Ikris as well we should get along too then."
  84. [01:59] Sarah "Well yes , but I am older and so can order you to /make / friends daugther of mine"
  85. [02:00] Arkalest "Nnope."
  86. [02:09] Arkalest "So, uh, Sabina- How did you find this place?"
  87. [02:11] Sabina "I was sent here by my Clan to serve the Constables."

  89. [02:12] Arkalest Sabina: You see Mirah's ears twitch. "...Mmh, so- What rople you had back there?"
  90. [02:12] |<-- Yezara has left irc.systemnet.info (Ping timeout: 125 seconds)
  91. [02:13] Sarah leans a bit foreward and scratches behind Mirahs ear
  92. [02:13] Sabina "I served as the Keeper of the Instrument. Sort of a combination of. . . spiritual head and advisor to the elders, and guardian of the the Instrument."
  93. [02:13] Sabina "I still do really, just. . here and not there."
  94. [02:14] Arkalest "OOooh." Her eyes widen." So you were an elder, sort of? That's...Interesting.."
  95. [02:16] Sabina "I would not liken myself to a elder, I do not hold official power outside of a few very narrow areas, but my word holds a great deal of weight, even with my age. I am never ignored even if they choose to go against my advice."
  96. [02:18] Sarah "Well, but how do you know at your age that you offer the right advice, or is your Instrument helping you there?"
  97. [02:19] Sabina "It does, the previous Keepers live on within it, and I commune with them to hear their thoughts and feelings. My role is to pass that on to the elders for their consideration."
  98. [02:20] Arkalest "That sounds kinda funky, in a way."
  99. [02:21] Sabina She blinks "Funky?"
  100. [02:21] Sabina "I apologize, but I'm not familiar with this phrase."
  101. [02:22] Arkalest "You know, hallucination-y."
  102. [02:23] Sabina "It's rarely that intense, more of. . . sort of. . " She frowns "Sort of like whispers of feeling and intent."

  105. [02:28] Sarah "Well that is more then we get but we also , well do not have your talents in that direction"
  106. [02:31] |<-- LilithSleep has left irc.systemnet.info (Ping timeout: 124 seconds)
  107. [02:34] Arkalest "Yeah. We are more of a....Heavy hitter-kind of deal."
  108. [02:36] Sabina She nods "That's good, I dare say we will have need of heavier firepower here."
  109. [02:45] Sarah "Yeah, we, kind of go and melt things or people, or hit them with the Buzz"
  110. [02:45] Sabina "The Buzz?"
  111. [02:46] Arkalest "Lighting."
  112. [02:47] Sarah blinks and then concentrates for a moment as sie raises her hand and let elms fire jump between her fingers
  113. [02:49] Arkalest Mirah casually lifts her index finger ans a single bolt of light reaches out- Jumping into it and trailing the metallic grooves in her skin.
  114. [02:49] Sabina "Ohh. ." Sabina smiles "That's pretty, much more visual exciting than telepathy or telekinesis."
  115. [02:49] Sabina *visually
  116. [02:53] Sarah "Well, we can also do other things " She looks around searching for some debris from yesterday and then spits a blue globe at it, and with a hiss it starts to melt away.
  117. [02:53] Sabina blinks "Some sort of acid I take it?"
  118. [02:57] Sarah She nods "Build to help with dealing with minerals and we are also able to play around a bit with our Biology"
  119. [02:57] Arkalest "Yeah." Her daughter lifts a finger, and metallic threads unspool from the tip. "I can also do metal stuff."
  120. [03:01] Sabina "Interesting are those talents common among your herd?"
  121. [03:03] Sabina leans out into the rain, cupping her left hand she catches it. Slowly it begins to form a sphere, as if filling a invisible glass.
  122. [03:04] Sarah "Well yes its.. slightly comnplicated there"
  123. [03:05] Arkalest "We are a....Diverse bunch, to say the least. Really diverse."
  124. [03:06] Sabina "Ah. My Clan almost entirely make use of telekinesis. The few how do not are like me, Telepaths. We have no records of anyone having talents outside of those two branches."
  125. [03:18] Sarah "As mentioned we are a bit more variable there, aided to that with the presence of the symbiotes and.,.."

  127. [03:29] Sabina nods, letting the now full sphere slowly drain to the ground through several looping streams of water.
  128. [03:29] |<-- Yezara has left irc.systemnet.info (Ping timeout: 124 seconds)
  129. [03:34] Arkalest "So, how are you finding the people here?"
  130. [03:34] Arkalest "And yeah, we are sort of.....We really don't know a lot about us, to be fair."
  131. [03:35] Arkalest Mirah waggles her fingers. "I know someone who is a pyrokinetic, and another hunter who can turn invisible."
  132. [03:36] Sabina "So far I'm finding it well. Everyone in the Psionic's Department have been very friendly and I've already made. . 2 friends."
  133. [03:39] Sarah "That is good to hear, Mirah, you should take her as an example."
  134. [03:40] Sabina frowns. "Ma'am, I'd rather not be held up like that please."
  135. [03:42] Sarah "Why not ?"
  136. [03:42] Sarah looks a bit surprised as turns to look at her.
  137. [03:43] Arkalest "Well, yeah /why?/ " Mirah lfits he rhand. "I mean-" She begins ticking off her fingers. "You make friensds fast, your elders listen to you and you can square off with Ikris just fine."
  138. [03:46] Sabina "I uh. . never-mind. I misunderstood things."
  139. [03:50] Sarah "Well, what did you thought I meant then?"
  140. [04:02] Sabina "It wasn't so much what you meant as much as. . ."
  141. [04:03] Sabina "I've seen people being held up as examples to their peers before, and sometimes it can engender feelings of bitterness or worse."
  142. [04:03] Sarah looks a bit surprised
  143. [04:06] Arkalest "......But...Why?"
  144. [04:07] Arkalest "I mean why wouldn't you...Want to follow an example?"
  145. [04:07] Sarah "And , you do not say it to someone that is unable to act like it.."
  146. [04:08] Sabina "Well. . . When it's phrased that way it can easily come across as "You are not good enough, be like that person" which can be hurtful to hear from someone like a parent or teacher. Especially if you don't want to be, or simply don't feel right being like that person."
  147. [04:11] Sarah "But... "
  148. [04:11] Sarah looks likes she is trying to grasp a concept here.
  149. [04:14] Sabina "Perhaps part of this is differences in psychology due to our differing phenotypes?"
  150. [04:16] Sarah "Or because we lacked the luxus for it ."
  151. [04:18] Arkalest "Yeah. It's hard to fully play the rebel when you're busy fighting for food.."
  152. [04:19] Sabina "That as well."
  153. [04:19] Sarah "And when you know everyone around you by name"
  154. [04:20] Sabina nods
  155. [04:23] Arkalest "Yeah it's hard to go "I am taking my shit somewhere else" when..." Mirah waves a hand. "There isn't /much/ of a somewhere else."
  156. [04:24] Sarah "Even with the vats that can be shared it is . well for a start there is still the problem of food even if you work with others"
  157. [04:34] Arkalest "Yeah, carnivores.."
  158. [04:35] Sabina "Your home sounds like it was a very dangerous place."
  159. [04:36] Sarah "Uh well that is because it was once back when someone was living there."
  160. [04:51] Sarah "And of course the Safeguard "
  161. [04:52] Sarah spits acit out that sizzle into the ground before it stops
  162. [04:52] Arkalest Mirah does the same, but her glob is larger.
  163. [04:53] Sabina "The Safeguard?"
  164. [05:03] Arkalest "Big, dumb semi-organic /things/ that hated our guts. Ashen Age shit."
  165. [05:07] Sabina "Ah."
  166. [05:09] Sarah "Sometimes they also tend to wear our Guts"
  167. [05:09] Sabina looks agasht
  168. [05:10] Sabina *aghast
  169. [05:12] =-= YOU are now known as IcePickSlumbers
  170. [05:13] Sarah "Well uh.. what did you assume what we meant when we said it was dangerous?
