  1. [2012-12-21 18:34:13] <Falconis> grail continuation, logging start
  2. [2012-12-21 18:34:17] <Falconis> WHEN WE LAST SAW OUR HERO
  3. [2012-12-21 18:35:04] <Falconis> he was turning up the heat on the lady in red, possibly with hopes to ignite some passions, or maybe he's just a closet flirtation arsonist.
  4. [2012-12-21 18:36:30] <Grail> There was the question on what the topic of conversation was prior to Hadrian's arrival.
  5. [2012-12-21 18:36:33] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"We were just discussing these incidents"
  6. [2012-12-21 18:36:44] <Falconis> [Celias]"You know, minerva, Troblis."
  7. [2012-12-21 18:37:22] <Falconis> [Phil]"Someone is making a move, and they aren't being very secretive about it"
  8. [2012-12-21 18:38:31] <Falconis> Celias, chuckles under his breath while examining a piece of steak on his fork
  9. [2012-12-21 18:39:06] <Grail> "Terrible incidents, but who would have the power and inclination to wipe two great cities out within days?"
  10. [2012-12-21 18:39:46] <Falconis> [Celias]"Well it's pretty obvious who it is to me" he says, right before slipping the morsel into his mouth
  11. [2012-12-21 18:40:16] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"Come now Celias, you can't really believe it's the imperials."
  12. [2012-12-21 18:41:21] <Falconis> [Celias]"And why not? The first never got over that big old magic place stopping his expansion. Now it's his descendants taking up the banner."
  13. [2012-12-21 18:42:05] <Falconis> [Celias]"Just look at which cities are gone. Troblis and Minerva, the two major headaches to getting on the east side."
  14. [2012-12-21 18:42:28] <Grail> "They may be dogs, but this was out and out genocide. Do you really think they would do that?"
  15. [2012-12-21 18:42:55] <Falconis> [Celias]"And now with them 'mysteriously gone', you can bet your arse they're going to take a foothold for 'self defense purposes'"
  16. [2012-12-21 18:43:00] <Falconis> [Celias]"HA!"
  17. [2012-12-21 18:43:29] <Falconis> He waves a cutling of meat at you from the end of his fork
  18. [2012-12-21 18:44:23] <Grail> Hadrian chomps an apple, can't let Celias be the only one to do overly grandioise gesticulation with his meal.
  19. [2012-12-21 18:44:49] <Falconis> [Celias]"It was genocide before too, but all the history books love to cover it up. They use pretty words like 'expansion' and 'subsission' or whatever. It's all just plain old murder and war"
  20. [2012-12-21 18:45:13] <Falconis> [Celias]"And guess who wrote those histories, that's right, the imperials"
  21. [2012-12-21 18:45:27] <Falconis> He bites into the meat triumphantly
  22. [2012-12-21 18:45:56] <Falconis> Phil continues to nibble at a piece of celery
  23. [2012-12-21 18:46:13] -->| PriceisMagic (cgiirc@Rizon-3B5B9D67.lns5.wel.bigpond.net.au) has joined #anti-matter
  24. [2012-12-21 18:47:07] <Grail> Hadrian shrugs and relents, he's never been one for politics.
  25. [2012-12-21 18:48:16] <Falconis> he smirks in victory [Celias]"It's only a matter of time before they hit Forbis. Especially since your family called em. HA!, you're basically giving it to em on a silver platter"
  26. [2012-12-21 18:48:59] <Falconis> Juddeca frowns slightly in a way that makes you feel she isn't really upset about the remark
  27. [2012-12-21 18:50:17] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"Well you know I couldn't really do anything about that Celias; You know who would be all over it if I tried to stop them. Claiming I was in cahoots with this Lady thief or whatever"
  28. [2012-12-21 18:51:17] <Falconis> [Celias]"Bah, that old Fogey still giving you problems? I told you we could handle him you know."
  29. [2012-12-21 18:51:49] <Grail> "Is this is the old Fogey I think it is?"
  30. [2012-12-21 18:51:56] <Falconis> Juddeca waves him off playfully
  31. [2012-12-21 18:52:29] <Falconis> [Celias]"Well I don't know Haddy, I was never much for mind reading. Who do you think it is?"
  32. [2012-12-21 18:53:35] <Grail> "There have been points you could have fooled me on that Celias, but really, I know of one old Fogey in this town, the one that enjoys fire sprites."
  33. [2012-12-21 18:54:47] <Falconis> [Celias]"Oh, him" He huffs, "No, that old man doesn't really get into anyone's business that doesn't get into his"
  34. [2012-12-21 18:55:17] <Falconis> [Phil]"I would beg to differ"
  35. [2012-12-21 18:55:51] <Falconis> Celias opens his mouth to protest but Phil waves him off and returns to celery
  36. [2012-12-21 18:56:39] <Falconis> [Celias]"Bah, no not that old man, another one. The past owner of this house in fact"
  37. [2012-12-21 18:56:45] <Falconis> Celias grins at the statement
  38. [2012-12-21 18:57:24] <Grail> "Interesting, so what about this one that's so dangerous?"
  39. [2012-12-21 18:58:10] <Falconis> Celias seems to find this funny, as he nearly spills his drink with the sheer force from his sides moving
  40. [2012-12-21 18:59:19] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"Dangerous? Dear Hubbert is as dangerous as a fly personally, but he does have a few supporters and ears among the family."
  41. [2012-12-21 18:59:46] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"All in all a minor annoyance, much less than the Imperials"
  42. [2012-12-21 18:59:54] <Falconis> [Celias]"For you anyway"
  43. [2012-12-21 19:00:18] <Falconis> Celias manages to say between the last chokes of laughter
  44. [2012-12-21 19:02:13] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"Well, anyway Celias, no matter how annoying he may be at times, he's still family. Besides I think you've punished him enough"
  45. [2012-12-21 19:03:16] <Falconis> She takes a sip of wine
  46. [2012-12-21 19:03:26] <Grail> "What a curious time we live in. So what do you plan to do Celias, if it is the Imperials come to knock down our doors and take our cities? It certainly didn't seem like the Imperials in Minerva."
  47. [2012-12-21 19:07:01] <Falconis> Celias throws up his hands (cleverly void of any food or dinnerware) "Well Haddy, I don't know. Can't bloody well fight them, especially if what I saw from Troblis is any indication. I'll have to take my opportunities as they come."
  48. [2012-12-21 19:07:11] <Falconis> Phil crunches on a carrot
  49. [2012-12-21 19:08:58] <Grail> "What did you see in Trobilis?"
  50. [2012-12-21 19:09:42] <Falconis> Celias turns grim
  51. [2012-12-21 19:10:36] <Falconis> [Celias]"Oh you know, buildings, wares, rocks, fountains, imperials.
  52. [2012-12-21 19:11:10] <Falconis> [Celias]"No other people though, no other life. Not even a damn rat or a blade of grass"
  53. [2012-12-21 19:11:50] <Falconis> [Celias]"I don't know what happened there, but whatever it is killed everyone, took the bodies and left everything else as it was"
  54. [2012-12-21 19:12:52] <Falconis> he drains his glass of wine
  55. [2012-12-21 19:13:39] <PriceisMagic> (New session? awesome what did I miss?)
  56. [2012-12-21 19:13:50] <Falconis> (everything)
  57. [2012-12-21 19:14:07] <Falconis> *crunch* *crunch* *crunch*
  58. [2012-12-21 19:14:27] <Grail> Hadrian frowns "Dreadful...I know people in Minerva escaped, but everyone just gone like that?"
  59. [2012-12-21 19:16:03] <Falconis> [Celias]"Far as I can tell. Imperials had the place locked down so I couldn't go everywhere I wanted to check."
  60. [2012-12-21 19:17:46] <PriceisMagic> (Got the logs?)
  61. [2012-12-21 19:17:55] <Grail> "They're just moving in and holding the place? Just like that?"
  62. [2012-12-21 19:20:20] <Falconis> [Celias]"Just like I said isn't it?. They say it's too close to their lands to let this slide, and besides, nobody else has a rightful claim. Not like anybody that lived there is still alive"
  63. [2012-12-21 19:20:31] <Falconis> He barks out a laugh
  64. [2012-12-21 19:21:56] <Grail> Hadrian sighs and drinks some smoothie
  65. [2012-12-21 19:22:10] <Falconis> [Celias]"If this keeps up, they'll have full access to the freelands across the Troblis wastebridge"
  66. [2012-12-21 19:22:19] <Falconis> Smoothie is smooth
  67. [2012-12-21 19:23:25] <Grail> "No reaction from the rulers of the various cities in the freelands yet?"
  68. [2012-12-21 19:23:38] <Falconis> Celias shrugs
  69. [2012-12-21 19:24:15] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"The news is still young, it will take some time to get everywhere"
  70. [2012-12-21 19:24:38] <Falconis> [Phil]"With the time it took to get here they might already have set up base"
  71. [2012-12-21 19:24:44] <Falconis> *crunch crunch*
  72. [2012-12-21 19:25:54] <Grail> Hadrian wonders how Phil eats soup
  73. [2012-12-21 19:26:10] <Grail> This man, this man and his crunches
  74. [2012-12-21 19:26:57] <Falconis> :V
  75. [2012-12-21 19:27:08] <Grail> "How'd that business with our friendly 'visitors' god anyway, Phil?"
  76. [2012-12-21 19:27:25] <Grail> Hadrian, master of nonspecific thief talk
  77. [2012-12-21 19:27:58] <Falconis> lulz
  78. [2012-12-21 19:28:06] <Grail> go*
  79. [2012-12-21 19:28:16] <Falconis> Phil quirks an eyebrow
  80. [2012-12-21 19:29:21] <Falconis> [Phil]"No worries. Seems they were just a little confused, they showed me their group and I pointed them in the right direction"
  81. [2012-12-21 19:29:24] <Falconis> "Silly kids"
  82. [2012-12-21 19:29:41] <Falconis> Phil finishes the last of the carrot in one swallow
  83. [2012-12-21 19:29:58] <Falconis> and pulls out a bright yellow apple
  84. [2012-12-21 19:30:04] <Grail> WHEN WILL IT END?
  85. [2012-12-21 19:30:05] <Falconis> which he crunches into
  86. [2012-12-21 19:30:49] <Grail> Hadrian is going to ignore this crunching, lets see where the conversation flows-can't be turning this dinner into an interrogation.
  87. [2012-12-21 19:31:10] <Falconis> 1,1fool you have activated my trap card
  88. [2012-12-21 19:31:48] <Falconis> [Juddeca]" So, you dreadful man" Juddeca directs at you playfully "When are you going to introduce yourself?"
  89. [2012-12-21 19:37:00] <Grail> Time to play off forgetting as being a charming "How rude of me, to keep a lady like yourself waiting. I am Hadrian Sweiss, cousin of our gracious host." and he offers a smile.
  90. [2012-12-21 19:39:53] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"How delightful to meet the family of friends. So you were in Minerva then?"
  91. [2012-12-21 19:42:51] <Grail> "That I was. It...was a harrowing time. There was a gigantic elemental in the city, light from the sky, pure chaos. I escaped swiftly enough, though many others were not as lucky."
  92. [2012-12-21 19:45:21] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"Oh how dreadful. It's amazing you managed to escape, such a trial"
  93. [2012-12-21 19:46:01] <Falconis> [Phil]"But what was an elemental, much less a gigantic one doing in Minerva? It's well known they stay away from cities."
  94. [2012-12-21 19:46:05] <Falconis> *crunch*
  95. [2012-12-21 19:47:13] <Grail> "I can't rightfully say, but it seemed intent on destroying the town. How it got inside without being seen is even more mysterious."
  96. [2012-12-21 19:48:35] <Falconis> [Phil]"Hmm, thats certainly some news. I think I'll have to ask our sprite loving friend a few questions."
  97. [2012-12-21 19:48:51] <Falconis> He crunches down the last bit fo apple and rises
  98. [2012-12-21 19:49:25] <Falconis> [Phil]"See you next time guys."
  99. [2012-12-21 19:49:36] <Falconis> [Celias]"Remember you're hosting next"
  100. [2012-12-21 19:49:45] <Falconis> He walks out
  101. [2012-12-21 19:50:37] <Grail> Hadrian waves Phil off and continues meeting the ladies eyes. Innerly content at the lack of further chomping.
  102. [2012-12-21 19:51:01] <Falconis> heh
  103. [2012-12-21 19:52:09] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"So what do you do Mr. Sweiss?"
  104. [2012-12-21 19:53:36] <Grail> "You could say I'm an entrepreneur. I've had to start over since Minerva, but Forbis has been a lovely city."
  105. [2012-12-21 19:55:26] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"I'm glad you enjoy it. You should stop by the house if you have the time. I'm sure we could work out some business to our mutual advantage"
  106. [2012-12-21 19:55:30] <Falconis> Celias rolls his eyes
  107. [2012-12-21 19:56:25] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"But until then, I'm afraid further chatter will have to wait. Phineas, is the carriage ready?"
  108. [2012-12-21 19:56:56] <Grail> Hadrian flashes Celias a grin when Juddeca leaves
  109. [2012-12-21 19:57:11] <Falconis> Phineas, who had been standing by the door quietly pipes up "Of course...Ms Lavelle"
  110. [2012-12-21 19:57:33] <Falconis> She rises and bids Celias adieu before heading out into the night with Phineas.
  111. [2012-12-21 19:57:44] <Falconis> >_
  112. [2012-12-21 19:58:00] <Grail> "Lovely dinner, cousin."
  113. [2012-12-21 19:58:55] <Grail> Still grinning
  114. [2012-12-21 19:58:57] <Falconis> [Celias]"I'm sure"
  115. [2012-12-21 19:59:07] <Falconis> his grin returns is full glory
  116. [2012-12-21 19:59:48] <Falconis> [Celias]"I damn well hope so, this may be the last time we all meet together"
  117. [2012-12-21 20:00:24] <Grail> "The Imperials?"
  118. [2012-12-21 20:00:34] <Falconis> he takes up his glass to have a sip before noticing it empty
  119. [2012-12-21 20:00:46] <Falconis> [Celias]"Phine- oh dammit he's still outside"
  120. [2012-12-21 20:01:35] <Falconis> [Celias]"The imperials, the elementals, the Mancers, who the hell really knows. I just know the world is going to the crapper Haddy, and all of us might get flushed with it"
  121. [2012-12-21 20:02:18] <Grail> "You're a pessimistic one Celias, don't worry, our family has a knack for surviving."
  122. [2012-12-21 20:02:56] <Falconis> he chuckles
  123. [2012-12-21 20:03:27] <Falconis> [Celias]"That we do eh? Im just considering options Haddy. Don't worry about me."
  124. [2012-12-21 20:03:45] <Falconis> [Celias]"So, how is your 'entrepreneurship' going"
  125. [2012-12-21 20:03:49] <Falconis> ?*
  126. [2012-12-21 20:04:06] <Falconis> Phineas returns to the dining room, shutting the door softly behind him
  127. [2012-12-21 20:04:28] <Grail> "Very well I must say, if I can get the business up in the projected time I should have enough money to go or live anywhere I please."
  128. [2012-12-21 20:06:32] <Falconis> [Celias]"Good for you Haddy, good for you."
  129. [2012-12-21 20:07:13] <Falconis> Celias indicates his empty wine glass and Phineas promptly produces a bottle from within his jacket and refills it.
  130. [2012-12-21 20:07:54] <Grail> "I was planning on leaving the city, but...I think I've taken a liking to it."
  131. [2012-12-21 20:10:49] <Falconis> [Celias]"Well, just make sure you don't get in trouble. Too much anyway"
  132. [2012-12-21 20:10:53] <Falconis> *grin*
  133. [2012-12-21 20:11:14] <Falconis> He rises with his now full glass and inhales deeply
  134. [2012-12-21 20:11:20] <Grail> "Oh I'd never." he returns the grin. "Well I suppose I'd best be tucking in."
  135. [2012-12-21 20:11:37] <Falconis> [Celias]"I'm gonna take a walk Haddy. Ah, well, you have a good night then"
  136. [2012-12-21 20:11:48] <Falconis> he nods and strolls out
  137. [2012-12-21 20:12:12] <Grail> Hadrian grabs a leg of turkey on his way up to his room
  138. [2012-12-21 20:12:46] <Grail> Turns in for the night
  139. [2012-12-21 20:13:08] <Falconis> THE NIGHT IS FICKLE AND FILLED WITH THE TURKEY
  140. [2012-12-21 20:13:24] <Falconis> and that's your session complete I guess >_>
  141. [2012-12-21 20:13:32] <Grail> Good enough for me
