[8:48pm] GraemeCracker: "Hey, can anyone see why it's so dark in here?"
[8:48pm] Alivi: Bill it is a sprawling desert. The heat is high, and almost uncomfortable compared to back at the site. You can see the sub is buried under the sand.
[8:48pm] Balthazaar: Mark gets up and covers his eyes with his arm.
[8:48pm] PaulS_laptop: "Clear!"
[8:48pm] Alivi: Your eyes slowly adjust to the light.

[8:49pm] Tehpillowstar: "Australia is a desert?" She asks Taggart.
[8:50pm] GraemeCracker: "Desert?" He blinks a couple of times. "Oh. Uh...Okay, we're in a...A desert."
[8:50pm] Tehpillowstar: She climbs her way out of the sub, suddenly regretting all her equipment and that fact that she doesn't even have a water bottle.
[8:50pm] Gara: "Parts of it..." Loren wonders if Chloe ever took a Geography class.
[8:50pm] Tehpillowstar: "Like, ugh, never mind."
[8:51pm] PaulS_laptop: What does Bill see?
[8:51pm] TheRaven: "The bit I'm from is." Taggart is glad to have a canteen with him.
[8:51pm] Alivi: just desert. It sprawls ahead. There is a breeze that carries sand. The sun is high and the sky is blue and cloudless

[8:57pm] Alivi: Hank and Chloe and Mark you see a figure in front of you. It looks male in appearance, and tall. They are wearing a light green Noh Mask with a single gold line dividing it down the middle. From the mask protrudes two horns. He is wearing a green kimono with 5 kamon (seals) on it.
[8:58pm] GraemeCracker: Hank seems worried. "Um, are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?"
[8:58pm] GraemeCracker: redact
[9:01pm] Alivi: He also has, slung over his shoulder a large sack. He approaches you three and opens his sack. You can almost feel your breath leave you but then your mind clears. Nothing feels wrong. And your mind clears. In a rush of breeze and sand. He vanishes.
[9:01pm] Alivi: Unpause
[9:02pm] Balthazaar: Mark just sort of nods and looks around. ~Well then, that was interesting...~
[9:03pm] Alivi: Its very hot.

[9:03pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill sees nothing
[9:03pm] TheRaven: Neither does Taggart.
[9:03pm] PaulS_laptop: "Okay, so now where do we go?"
[9:04pm] Alivi: Oh sooooo hot…… and the sand….. its rather annoying.
[9:04pm] TheRaven: "Don't know yet." Anything visible nearby?
[9:05pm] Tehpillowstar: Chloe shields her eyes from the sun, her eyes distant and her mouth slightly curled to a confused frown.

[9:09pm] Alivi: Mark you see the clouds too. However you also are able to tell which way is north from the position of the sun and other random lessons you took as a kid.

[9:37pm] Glacon: Alivi: imma knock you: 5 (6df+6=0, +, +, -, -, -)
[9:37pm] Alivi: You feel somethng bump into you and the wind swirls away. There is angry chatter.
[9:37pm] TheRaven: "I've got movement, three small targets."
[9:38pm] PaulS_laptop: "Something just bumped me. No visual"
[9:38pm] PaulS_laptop: "Engage if you can"
[9:38pm] Balthazaar: ~Bloody hell, wind's picking up~ Mark puts his jacket back on.
[9:38pm] TheRaven: "So they're invisible, great."
[9:38pm] PaulS_laptop: "you got anything on thermal?"
[9:39pm] Alivi: There is a shimmer and 3 weseals stand there. One with a flat forehead, one with long sharp claws, and one with a cannister on its back.
[9:39pm] Alivi: They chatter and bicker.
[9:39pm] Balthazaar: 6df+6 can I see anything?
[9:39pm] Glacon: Balthazaar: can I see anything?: 10 (6df+6=+, 0, 0, +, +, +)
[9:39pm] Gara: "Lets not murder things!"
[9:39pm] Alivi: The clouds look darker...
[9:39pm] TheRaven: Taggart holds fire for the moment. "Oi, you lot speak?"
[9:40pm] Balthazaar: (Wait, subtract one from that. meant to put +5)
[9:40pm] Alivi: The one with sharp claws laughs.
[9:41pm] Alivi: "Do we speak? Oh that is a laugh, neee nii-san. Omoshiroi ka ne?"
[9:41pm] Alivi: "Honto da yo ne."
[9:41pm] Alivi: The one with the forehead growls.
[9:41pm] Gara: Loren steps up to side by side with Taggart.
[9:41pm] Gara: "Hi."
[9:41pm] TheRaven: ~Bloody hell, Japanese rodents.~
[9:41pm] Alivi: The one with the cannister approches Loren.
[9:41pm] Alivi: "…Hello….human."
[9:42pm] PaulS_laptop: "Who would y'all be?"
[9:42pm] Balthazaar: ~We should hurry up. Not going to get anywhere like this... Fuck, these things talk!?~
[9:42pm] GraemeCracker: Hank shields his eyes from the blowing sand, trying to get a better view. ~What the hell are those?~
[9:42pm] Gara: "Any idea where we are? Or, really, what are you?" She crouches closer to it.
[9:42pm] Alivi: He backs away tilting his head.
[9:42pm] Alivi: "We are the Kamaitachi….have you humans never heard of us?"
[9:42pm] Alivi: Academics to figure it
[9:42pm] Balthazaar: Mark marks out a large arrow pointing to the sub in the sand. About 9ft long and 6ft wide
[9:43pm] Alivi: The wind messes it up mark
[9:43pm] Gara: 6df+8 Tagging Curiosity, why is my academics as high as my Perc!
[9:43pm] Glacon: Gara: Tagging Curiosity, why is my academics as high as my Perc!: 9 (6df+8=0, +, -, -, +, +)

[9:43pm] Alivi: …Hank these are talking weseals...lol
[9:44pm] PaulS_laptop: ~Huh?~
[9:44pm] Alivi: The Kamaitachi! You remember that from a story Eriko once told you when you were in the same dorm. They are three spirit weasels who travel on the wind. One knocks down a person, the other slashes it, and the third heals the wound so there is no blood but a cut.
[9:44pm] Alivi: They are said to be troublesome.
[9:45pm] Balthazaar: "..." Mark grunts with irritation and starts digging a wide hole
[9:45pm] Gara: "Yes, I do. What are you doing out here?"
[9:45pm] Alivi: "We live here..."
[9:45pm] GraemeCracker: Hank keeps his gun drawn in case things go awry.
[9:45pm] Gara: "Then you know the area?"
[9:45pm] Alivi: The one with claws calls over. "Niisan, hanashinaide kudasai. Konohito ha gaikokujin da yo."
[9:45pm] Balthazaar: *Dig dig dig*
[9:45pm] Tehpillowstar: 6df+4 academics
[9:45pm] Glacon: Tehpillowstar: academics: 4 (6df+4=+, -, 0, 0, 0, 0)
[9:46pm] Alivi: "Of course."
[9:46pm] Alivi: Chloe you vaugly recall the same story.
[9:46pm] Gara: "Then you could show us safely out, if you wanted?"
[9:46pm] Balthazaar: 6df+0 Why not?
[9:46pm] Glacon: Balthazaar: Why not?: -1 (6df+0=0, +, -, 0, 0, -)
[9:46pm] Alivi: "We could, but we do not wish to."
[9:46pm] Alivi: Nope Mark you know nothin
[9:47pm] Gara: "And why don't you?"
[9:47pm] Alivi: "We have no interest with humans."
[9:47pm] MrOrange left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[9:47pm] Balthazaar: Assuming progress goes by unimpeded, Mark completes the hole, and marks an arrow pointing the the sub at the bottom of the hole.
[9:48pm] Gara: "And you you bothered me and Bill?"
[9:48pm] Alivi: "You were entertaining."
[9:49pm] Alivi: The hole begins to cave in
[9:49pm] Alivi: Agility to get out.
[9:49pm] Alivi: The weseal looks over
[9:49pm] Gara: "I'd imagine. Then, why don't you let us be more entertaining for longer?"
[9:49pm] Alivi: "Is your friend stupid?"
[9:49pm] Balthazaar: 6df+5
[9:49pm] Glacon: Balthazaar: 3 (6df+5=+, +, -, -, -, -)
[9:49pm] Alivi: Oh no! Mark is getting buried
[9:49pm] Balthazaar: (Trying to mark the way back just in case.)
[9:50pm] Alivi: (i know but it is loose sand)
[9:50pm] Balthazaar: Yep
[9:50pm] Balthazaar: Mark struggles wordlessly to escape.
[9:50pm] TheRaven: "...Mark, what the hell are you doing?"
[9:50pm] Alivi: Taggart Agility to get him from certian sandy doom
[9:50pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill offers Mark a hand
[9:50pm] Alivi: same with you bill
[9:51pm] Tehpillowstar: Chloe looks at Mark with confusion.
[9:51pm] Alivi: or strength
[9:51pm] GraemeCracker: Hank turns around. "Oh shit, Mark!"
[9:51pm] PaulS_laptop: 6df+5 strength, a helping hand
[9:51pm] Glacon: PaulS_laptop: strength, a helping hand: 4 (6df+5=0, 0, 0, -, -, +)
[9:51pm] Tehpillowstar: She has been oddly silent.
[9:51pm] Gara: 6df+10 "Come on... you had you fun, let us go... we aren't to be delayed, we are great warriors from beyond this realm, we have work to do."

[9:52pm] TheRaven: (assisting Mark)
[9:52pm] Balthazaar: Mark takes the helping hands if he can
[9:52pm] Alivi: The weseal cocks its head.
[9:52pm] Alivi: "Perhaps….however your team….warriors are rather dysfunctional arent you. Perhaps if you are to be working, you should work better."
[9:52pm] Alivi: They vanish in a breath of wind.
[9:54pm] Gara: "That'd require some baseline competence..."
[9:54pm] Tehpillowstar: "Pfft."
[9:54pm] Alivi: The hole furthur collapses on itself.
[9:54pm] Balthazaar: (Soooo, is mark helped out?)
[9:55pm] Alivi: Yea Mark is pulled out.
[9:55pm] Tehpillowstar: It is the first sound Chloe made in a /ong/ time
[9:55pm] Tehpillowstar: *long
[9:55pm] GraemeCracker: Hank turns back towards where the weasel-things used to be.
[9:55pm] TheRaven: "Crafty little bastards." Are they still showing up on thermal?
[9:55pm] Alivi: nope they are gone.
[9:55pm] Balthazaar: He nods to his rescuers, then looks for long sticks. Attached to dead vegetation or otherwise.
[9:55pm] Alivi: And it is getting darker.
[9:56pm] TheRaven: "Let's get moving, it'll be getting dark and cold soon."
[9:56pm] Balthazaar: *Redact the nod
[9:56pm] PaulS_laptop: "Gonna be good time to move soon anyway."
[9:56pm] Gara: "Lets go."
[9:56pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill carries on, taking point and heading in the direction of the hills
[9:56pm] Balthazaar: Mark heads for the dunes
[9:56pm] TheRaven: Taggart starts walking.
[9:57pm] GraemeCracker: Hank continues his following of the group.
[9:57pm] Alivi: Perception

[9:59pm] Alivi: Mark and Taggert the sky is getting darker due to clouds and the wind is picking up. But…Taggart something else is bugging you… Chloe, Hank and Mark have been oddly quiet.
[10:00pm] Balthazaar: Mark zips his jacket up tight and keeps an eye out for long sticks
[10:00pm] TheRaven: "Is something up? You guys are being quieter than usual."
[10:00pm] Tehpillowstar: Chloe shakes her head.
[10:01pm] Balthazaar: Mark ignores the question and keeps on trekkin'
[10:01pm] Alivi: Mark Perception
[10:01pm] GraemeCracker: Hank sips his giant bag of water and tightens his labcoat around him. He continues walking as if everything is fine.
[10:01pm] Balthazaar: 6df+5 perc
[10:01pm] Gara: "You sure?"
[10:01pm] Glacon: Balthazaar: perc: 2 (6df+5=0, -, -, +, -, -)
[10:01pm] Alivi: nothing you can tell no sticks.
[10:01pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill brings the rigle up again and sweeps the horizon. Is there anthing definable to go from?
[10:01pm] PaulS_laptop: Perc roll?
[10:02pm] TheRaven: Taggart is suspicious.
[10:02pm] Alivi: sure
[10:02pm] PaulS_laptop: 6df+7
[10:02pm] Glacon: PaulS_laptop: 8 (6df+7=+, +, -, -, +, 0)
[10:02pm] Alivi: Nope…but…..damn is Taggart right or what.
[10:02pm] Alivi: Why havent they been communicating. Hell Mark almost got himself buried and he hasnt said a word.
[10:03pm] Gara: "... Yeah this isn't okay. Chloe, report."
[10:03pm] Tehpillowstar: Chloe looks confused. "I..."
[10:03pm] Tehpillowstar: She looks as if she's forcing out the words.
[10:04pm] Balthazaar: When he reaches the ridge, Mark looks for signs of the previously mentioned important things
[10:04pm] Alivi: Mark perception
[10:04pm] PaulS_laptop: "Nothing coming up either that I could see."
[10:04pm] TheRaven: "Okay, what's up?"
[10:04pm] Balthazaar: (Not survival?)
[10:04pm] Alivi: either or
[10:04pm] Gara: "..." She hands her notebad and pen over.
[10:04pm] Balthazaar: 6df+8 Survival ftw
[10:04pm] Glacon: Balthazaar: Survival ftw: 6 (6df+8=0, -, -, 0, +, -)
[10:05pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill stops, seeing them do that, and passes chloe his pad and pen
[10:05pm] Gara: She already is being handed Loren's.
[10:06pm] Balthazaar: Mark looks worried, and quickly raises his hood and draws it tight.
[10:07pm] Balthazaar: 6df+9 Perc with tags!
[10:07pm] Glacon: Balthazaar: Perc with tags!: 8 (6df+9=-, 0, 0, +, 0, -)
[10:09pm] Balthazaar: Mark looks back at the clouds, and then hightails it down the other side of the dune
[10:09pm] Balthazaar: He stops halfway down and looks back up at the group, frowning
[10:09pm] PaulS_laptop: "Status?" to Mark
[10:10pm] Balthazaar: He throws his arms wide in a 'Well? You coming?' gesture
[10:10pm] GraemeCracker: Hank is nonchalantly peering around aimlessly before finally noticing Mark. He starts heading over to his location.
[10:10pm] TheRaven: Taggart heads up the hill and scouts ahead with Mark.
[10:11pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill continues to follow with Mark
[10:11pm] Alivi: Mark is already half-way down Taggart. Wtf why isnt he talking.
[10:11pm] Balthazaar: When Mark sees folks following, he turns and keeps jogging. Like he's heading towards something
[10:12pm] Balthazaar: He's throwing frequent, concerned glances over his shoulder.
[10:12pm] TheRaven: "Okay, what's the hell's going on?"
[10:12pm] Alivi: There is a roaring noise.
[10:13pm] Alivi: And wind is starting to pick up. As it turns darker.
[10:13pm] Balthazaar: Mark looks at them with a 'Hurry the fuck up!' Expression.
[10:13pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill is keeping pace with Mark
[10:13pm] Balthazaar: Running all thewhile
[10:13pm] Alivi: Mark you reach the house you saw earlier.
[10:14pm] TheRaven: Taggart is confused.
[10:14pm] Gara: Loren follows along.
[10:14pm] GraemeCracker: Hank gives chase, giving a 'what the hell's the rush' kind of look.
[10:14pm] Alivi: Sand is starting to blow and ya'll see it. A sandstorm is coming and it is fucking big.
[10:14pm] Balthazaar: Mark tries to open the door as fast as he can
[10:14pm] Balthazaar: Roll required?
[10:14pm] Alivi: nope
[10:14pm] PaulS_laptop: There is apparently a door?
[10:15pm] Balthazaar: Make flings open the door to the house he saw earlier, and starts waving people in
[10:15pm] TheRaven: "Haul ass, we've got a sandstorm!"
[10:15pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill enters "Clear!" affter hastily clearing it
[10:16pm] Alivi: it is clear! Better hurry!
[10:16pm] GraemeCracker: Hank makes it to the house, breathing heavily through his nose.
[10:16pm] Gara: Loren runs in.
[10:16pm] Balthazaar: Mark makes a 'Duh!' Face at Taggart. ~Of course there's a fucking sandstorm! What the hell did he think I was doing?~
[10:16pm] TheRaven: "Can you not talk or something?"
[10:17pm] PaulS_laptop: ~wish I hadn't given up my keffiyeh~
[10:17pm] Balthazaar: Everyone in?
[10:17pm] Alivi: Yep.
[10:17pm] Balthazaar: Mark jumps in and slams the door shut behind him
[10:17pm] Alivi: The wind begins to rage around them. Just in time. Good work.
[10:17pm] GraemeCracker: ~I'm getting too old for this running shit.~
[10:18pm] Balthazaar: Mark starts looking around for towls, blankets, any sort of cloth really.
[10:18pm] Balthazaar: "I... Yeah..."
[10:18pm] TheRaven: "What the hell is going on?"
[10:18pm] PaulS_laptop: "Those weasel things?"
[10:18pm] Alivi: He finds a couple pretty dirty tho
[10:19pm] Gara: "The Kamaitachi... Spirit weasel things."
[10:19pm] Balthazaar: Mark looks at Taggart like he has two heads. He grabs the cloths and uses them to cover as much gap between the door and the frame as he can
[10:20pm] GraemeCracker: Hank takes his labcoat off and tries to help Mark fill the gap.
[10:20pm] Alivi: It works. It seems sealed. Now it is just ya'll in there.
[10:20pm] Tehpillowstar left the chat room. (Quit: brb going to the moon)
[10:21pm] TheRaven: "Alright, can someone start explaining?"
[10:21pm] PaulS_laptop: "I would, but I have not a fuckin clue"
[10:21pm] Gara: "I'd love to."
[10:22pm] Balthazaar: Mark now looks around to see if there's any windows or something
[10:22pm] Alivi: Only boarded up ones.
[10:23pm] TheRaven: "So we're in the middle of a sandstorm, in a shack in the desert, and half the team won't talk. Just bloody wonderful."
[10:23pm] GraemeCracker: Hank wipes his face with his sleeve.
[10:24pm] Balthazaar: Mark looks at Taggart with a face like 'Chill out dude'
[10:24pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill grabs one of the dirty towels and whaps it against hispants a couple times
[10:25pm] Alivi: dust flies up.
[10:25pm] Balthazaar: Make takes off his jacket and his tee shirt, and shakes the sand out of them
[10:25pm] GraemeCracker: Hank exhales sharply and moves away from the dust, irritation showing on his expression
[10:26pm] PaulS_laptop: He ties it over his head, keffiyeh style
[10:26pm] Gara: Loren checks out the building.
[10:26pm] Balthazaar: When that's done, he puts his jacket back on, and puts his shirt on his head, much like Bill has done with the towel
[10:27pm] Balthazaar: And he puts the jacket back on too
[10:27pm] Alivi: its a simple abandoned building.
[10:27pm] TheRaven: "Oh, are you all not talking now?"
[10:27pm] PaulS_laptop: "I've been talking"
[10:27pm] Gara: "I can still talk.'
[10:27pm] Gara: She turns to Hank. "But why aren't you?"
[10:28pm] GraemeCracker: Hank raises a brow quizzically.
[10:28pm] Gara: "Why aren't you talking..."
[10:28pm] Balthazaar: Mark frowns at them. He hasn't been doing anything abnormal, right?
[10:28pm] GraemeCracker: "What do you mean?"
[10:29pm] Gara: "There you go." Then to mark. "And you?"
[10:30pm] Balthazaar: "... What?... I'm just acting normally..."
[10:31pm] Gara: "No, you aren't."
[10:31pm] Gara: "You aren't speaking normally."
[10:31pm] TheRaven: "You haven't said a word."
[10:33pm] GraemeCracker:  Hank is brushing sand out of what remains of his hair with his hand.
[10:33pm] Balthazaar: Mark looks confused. "... What are you on about?"
[10:34pm] TheRaven: "You almost got buried in a hole and didn't say anything, and you didn't mention the storm either."
[10:34pm] Aphex_ left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer)
[10:34pm] Gara: "So, what the fuck is going on?"
[10:35pm] UNIT-12 left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[10:36pm] GraemeCracker: Hank shrugs.
[10:36pm] Balthazaar: Mark frowns. "...Nothing's going on... I, I'm just doing what I always do..." A faint hint of doubt is creeping into his voice
[10:38pm] Gara: "No, you aren't."
[10:38pm] PaulS_laptop: "This somehow relates to the weasels"
[10:38pm] Gara: "Yes."
[10:38pm] Gara: She points at Hank. "Canister." Then the Mark. "Flat head."
[10:39pm] Gara: "No claw."
[10:39pm] Balthazaar: Mark just looks confused now.
[10:39pm] Balthazaar: He starts looking for a mason jar.
[10:39pm] GraemeCracker: Hank too frowns in confusion. ~Canister?~
[10:39pm] Gara: "Mark, talk to me man."
[10:42pm] Balthazaar: Mark suddenly stops looking confused, like he just discovered a revelation
[10:42pm] Balthazaar: "Now that was bloody weird..."
[10:43pm] Gara: "What was?"
[10:44pm] Balthazaar: "Well, there was captain hornhead for one thing. Dude in one of those Japanese masks with the horns came up earlier with a bag, and then I just... Didn't really talk."
[10:44pm] Gara: "... I see. Who else saw this?"
[10:44pm] GraemeCracker: "Oh yeah, that thing!"
[10:44pm] Gara: "You two, talk about it."
[10:44pm] GraemeCracker: Hank stands up. "What, you guys didn't see it?"
[10:44pm] Gara: "No."
[10:45pm] Balthazaar: Mark sighs. "Getting real sick of seeing things that aren't there..."
[10:45pm] GraemeCracker: "It's as mark said, some guy in a green mask was walking in the distance, then he just up and disappeared."
[10:45pm] GraemeCracker: "Didn't feel the need to talk about it since."
[10:45pm] Gara: "Before that?"
[10:45pm] Balthazaar: "It was right after we got out of the sub. Dude just walked up with a bag of something, and then vanished."
[10:46pm] Gara: "Describe the bag."
[10:47pm] GraemeCracker: "I can't say much about the bag, but it wearign this kimono with a gold stripe and...It had these japanese seals on it."
[10:47pm] GraemeCracker: *wearing
[10:47pm] Gara: "Alright."
[10:47pm] PaulS_laptop: "Why didn't you tell us when you saw it?"
[10:47pm] Balthazaar: Mark nods."Yeah, and the bag was like a sack, but over it's shoulders."
[10:48pm] GraemeCracker: "Well as you can see we didn't feel the need to talk about much of anything."
[10:48pm] Balthazaar: "Just kinda didn't occur to me to talk about anything."
[10:49pm] TheRaven: "Weird pool shit."
[10:50pm] Alivi: You all can hear a giggle there is a rush of sand and a girl manifests. She seems to be made entirely of sand.
[10:51pm] Gara: "So, now, guy with bag- Well, hello."
[10:51pm] TheRaven: "...the fuck."
[10:51pm] Alivi: "Yatta….. you did it… sorta."
[10:51pm] Alivi: She smiles.
[10:51pm] GraemeCracker: Hank just kind of looks wide-eyed at her. "Uh...Hi."
[10:51pm] Balthazaar: Mark stares at the girl, confused
[10:51pm] Alivi: She giggles.
[10:51pm] Alivi: "Isn't it great… you met Fujin-sama."
[10:52pm] Balthazaar: ~I bet her name is Sandy.~ He tries not to laugh
[10:52pm] Gara: "Oh, we did?"
[10:52pm] Alivi: "You didn't,"
[10:52pm] Alivi: "They did." She points to Hank and Mark.
[10:52pm] Gara: "Oh."
[10:52pm] Alivi: "Neeeee your teammates… you rely on them right?"
[10:52pm] Gara: "Very much so."
[10:52pm] Alivi: "You talk alot. Does everyone talk as much as you?" She tilts her head at Loren.
[10:53pm] Balthazaar: Mark suppresses the insane urge to high five Hank. "Who is Fujin-sama?"
[10:53pm] Alivi: "The Kamaitachi said you didnt get along well."
[10:53pm] Gara: "No, they don't, but talking is my kob."
[10:53pm] Gara: ... Job.
[10:53pm] Alivi: "Ahhhhh do you talk often?"
[10:53pm] Gara: "Yes, I do."
[10:53pm] GraemeCracker: "Yeah, who's this Fujin-sama guy?"
[10:53pm] Alivi: "Does everyone talk often?"
[10:53pm] Gara: "Not all of them."
[10:53pm] PaulS_laptop: "We talk when we need to, or want to"
[10:53pm] Alivi: "What is his faveorite food?" She points at Taggart
[10:54pm] Alivi: "What is his faveorite music?" She points at Bill
[10:54pm] TheRaven: He raises an eyebrow
[10:54pm] Alivi: "What is her faveorite drink" She points at Loren
[10:54pm] Gara: "... I don't know. I really should know."
[10:54pm] Alivi: "Where did he grow up?" She points at Mark
[10:54pm] Alivi: "Where does he keep his socks?" She points at Hank
[10:55pm] Balthazaar: Mark tilts his head to the side, confused
[10:55pm] Alivi: She drifts up hovering and hands upside down.
[10:55pm] Alivi: "Really..."
[10:55pm] GraemeCracker: "Drawer." Hank blurts out.
[10:55pm] Alivi: "You talk alot cause you are friends right?"
[10:55pm] Alivi: "So you know a lot about eachother…."
[10:55pm] PaulS_laptop: "Enough"
[10:55pm] Alivi: She looks at Bill.
[10:55pm] Gara: "Alright, alright, we get the point."
[10:55pm] PaulS_laptop: "I know enough to work with them"
[10:55pm] Alivi: "I hope so..."
[10:56pm] Alivi: She turns right side up.
[10:56pm] PaulS_laptop: "Some of them know more about me, as well"
[10:57pm] Alivi: She smiles.
[10:57pm] GraemeCracker: Hank looks proper confused.
[10:57pm] PaulS_laptop: "Not that there's much to know"
[10:58pm] Alivi: "There is always much to know..."
[10:58pm] Balthazaar: ~Shiiit. I don't know Loren all that well...~
[10:58pm] Gara: "oF COURSE."
[10:58pm] Balthazaar: ~Or Bill, or Taggart...~
[10:58pm] Balthazaar: Mark is looking a little worried as well as confused now
[10:59pm] Alivi: "Will you really be ok? Even when you didn't talk, you had trouble. If you cannot hear how can you speak?"
[10:59pm] PaulS_laptop: "I am wondering, though, what thi-if I cannot hear?"
[10:59pm] PaulS_laptop: "what's this now?"
[10:59pm] Gara: "We won't be."
[10:59pm] Alivi: "You won't be what?"
[11:00pm] Gara: "Okay."
[11:00pm] Gara: "We are a team."
[11:00pm] Alivi: "I've seen you….through the glass."
[11:00pm] Balthazaar: Mark grins. "We'll be fine. Just gotta roll with the punches."
[11:00pm] Alivi: "You are here because of what happened in the village…."
[11:00pm] GraemeCracker: "Yeah, especially now that we can speak again. That always helps."
[11:00pm] Gara: "We are?"
[11:01pm] Alivi: "I thought you were..."
[11:01pm] Alivi: "Maybe I was wrong…but you look the same...."
[11:01pm] Alivi: She looks at Loren and Taggart.
[11:01pm] PaulS_laptop: "What village?"
[11:01pm] TheRaven: "What happened in the village? We couldn't really figure it out."
[11:01pm] Gara: "We were there."
[11:01pm] Balthazaar: "Uh, Village?"
[11:01pm] Alivi: "It connected, it is gone now though."
[11:02pm] Alivi: "But Fujin-sama is happy. Now he can expand his world."
[11:02pm] Gara: "Is this his world?"
[11:02pm] Alivi: "How could it not be."
[11:02pm] Alivi: She smiles at Loren
[11:02pm] Alivi: "I like you. No wonder that girl who hurt her hands likes you."
[11:03pm] Gara: "Girl who hurt her hands?"
[11:03pm] Balthazaar: "This Fujin-sama, is he... A good guy?"
[11:03pm] Alivi: "Fujin-sama is neither good nor bad."
[11:03pm] Alivi: "He just like me and the others do not exist in the bounds of your morality."
[11:04pm] Alivi: "You are humans, we are not. We are different."
[11:04pm] TheRaven: "Remember Elif tried to jump into that pool?"
[11:04pm] Gara: "Right, of course."
[11:04pm] GraemeCracker: "...Where would he be expanding his world to exactly?"
[11:04pm] Gara: "What are you?"
[11:04pm] Balthazaar: Mark peers at Sandy. "Now that's over my head. What?
[11:04pm] Balthazaar: "
[11:04pm] TheRaven: "Is this about those gems?"
[11:05pm] Alivi: "Im wind and sand. Fujin-sama created me."
[11:05pm] Alivi: "And through the red waters of course."
[11:05pm] Gara: "The same ones from the village?"
[11:05pm] Alivi: She shakes her head.
[11:05pm] GraemeCracker: "Oookay...And what happens if he expands his world past those red waters?"
[11:05pm] Alivi: "The others have no claim here."
[11:06pm] Alivi: "We were here first."
[11:06pm] Gara: "And what about people coming in?"
[11:07pm] Alivi: "That is no concern of mine. Just Fujin-sama."
[11:07pm] Alivi: "You would have to talk to him, I am but a lowly servant."
[11:07pm] Gara: She nods. "Is there anything like you here?"
[11:07pm] Alivi: "Like me?"
[11:07pm] lurkd joined the chat room.
[11:07pm] Gara: "Yes. Anything else."
[11:07pm] Alivi: "Of course."
[11:07pm] Alivi: "Everything has a spirit."
[11:08pm] GraemeCracker: "Also, do you think we could talk to Fujin-Sama?"
[11:08pm] Balthazaar: Mark sighs and sits down. "Man, this place is bloody weird..."
[11:09pm] Alivi: "Mmm if you think you'd survive…you need the key."
[11:09pm] GraemeCracker: "...Survive, huh?"
[11:09pm] PaulS_laptop: "What is the key?"
[11:10pm] Gara: "The crystal?"
[11:10pm] Alivi: She shakes her head.
[11:10pm] Alivi: "That is here."
[11:10pm] Alivi: She holds out her hand and a small whirlwind appears.
[11:10pm] Alivi: "I have the key." She smiles.
[11:11pm] Balthazaar: "Would you mind if I took it?"
[11:12pm] Alivi: "Mmmm I guess not."
[11:12pm] lurkd is now known as lurktablet.
[11:12pm] Alivi: "Just remember what I said…" She grins.
[11:13pm] Gara: "We will."
[11:13pm] Balthazaar: Mark nods
[11:13pm] Balthazaar: "Thank you."
[11:13pm] Balthazaar: He grins at the sand child
[11:15pm] Alivi: She opens her hands and the whirlwind evelopes them all.
[11:15pm] Alivi: When it stops they are on clouds.
[11:15pm] Alivi: In front of them is the mysterious masked figure
[11:16pm] TheRaven: Taggart is baffled.
[11:16pm] Balthazaar: Mark looks, understandably, shocked
[11:16pm] Gara: "Hello, Fujin-Sama." THis is just a day for Loren.
[11:16pm] PaulS_laptop: ~welp~
[11:16pm] Alivi: "….Greetings Loren Steinburg"
[11:17pm] GraemeCracker: Hank stares with awe. ~Hello...~
[11:17pm] Alivi: its just a bit eerie no movement of the mouth since it is covered with the mask.
[11:17pm] Gara: "I've come with questions, if I may."
[11:17pm] Alivi: "You may."
[11:17pm] Balthazaar: "Uh... G'day..."
[11:18pm] Gara: She bows her head. "Thank you. The red water in the village. What was it? What were the crystals?"
[11:18pm] Alivi: "There are some things you have yet to figure out and some I cannot tell you."
[11:18pm] Alivi: "The water was familiar. Yes?"
[11:18pm] Gara: "Of course."
[11:19pm] Alivi: "We have watched you. Like we do for all the humans."
[11:19pm] TheRaven: ~Well that's not a little unsettling...~
[11:20pm] Gara: "And what have you seen?"
[11:20pm] PaulS_laptop: ~Not sure if I want to be here~
[11:20pm] Alivi: "Too much to say in a short amount of time."
[11:21pm] Balthazaar: "And what do you think of us then?"
[11:23pm] GraemeCracker: ~Hopefully not bad things.~
[11:23pm] TheRaven: "So why are we here?"
[11:23pm] Alivi: "You tell me."
[11:25pm] GraemeCracker: "Well, why did you...erm...Silence Mark and I?"
[11:25pm] Balthazaar: "Dude, shut up, he'll do it again..."
[11:26pm] GraemeCracker: He whispers to Mark. "I thought it may have been important."

[11:42pm] Balthazaar: Mark doesn't look so sure...
[11:43pm] Alivi: "You shall discover soon enough.
[11:43pm] Alivi: "Or not, if I have my way."
[11:43pm] Gara: "Or not?"
[11:44pm] Balthazaar: "Why is that?"
[11:45pm] Alivi: "The other crystals should not take root. Mine is the first therefore my world will be the one...."
[11:46pm] TheRaven: "Erm...what?"
[11:48pm] Alivi: "I am afraid….our talk must end here. I know far too well of what you do….and you have given insufficient reasons as to why I should let you finish your jobs."
[11:48pm] Alivi: He unstraps his sack.
[11:49pm] Alivi: The wind begins to pick up.
[11:49pm] Balthazaar: Marks hand goes to hi knife's hilt
[11:49pm] Gara: "And what do you intend to do?"

[12:15am] PaulS_laptop: And as the long expletive ends, bill recovers himself. <<Status?>> barely audible over wind noise
[12:15am] |PuNKCaT| left the chat room. (Quit: We stopped checking for monsters under the bed when we realised they were inside of us...)
[12:15am] Alivi: it isnt audible.
[12:15am] Balthazaar: As he falls, Mark can't help but take note on how even though they're falling incredibly fast, it feels slow...
[12:15am] Alivi: All of a sudden the clouds re-appear and they fall against them.
[12:15am] Alivi: Fujin stands there again. Watching them.
[12:16am] PaulS_laptop: "That was quite a fall"
[12:16am] GraemeCracker: "AAAAAAaaa...ah?"
[12:16am] Gara: "Are we done, Fujin?"
[12:16am] Balthazaar: "Well, fuck. It's this wanker again."
[12:16am] Gara: "Or do we have to keep fighting you."
[12:16am] GraemeCracker: He gets up, shaking a little.
[12:16am] Gara: Loren pops on her feet.
[12:17am] TheRaven: "Got you gem, asshole." Taggart grins at him.
[12:17am] Balthazaar: Mark stands, blade still in hand
[12:17am] PaulS_laptop: 6df+8 bluff. "I got bullets for days." He gets up and reloads
[12:17am] Glacon: PaulS_laptop: bluff. "I got bullets for days." He gets up and reloads: 6 (6df+8=-, +, 0, -, 0, -)
[12:17am] Gara: 6df+6 Nice Agility manuver.
[12:17am] Alivi: "I know full well Taggart…that you have the gem. I will ask you return it."
[12:17am] Glacon: Gara: Nice Agility manuver.: 6 (6df+6=+, 0, +, 0, -, -)
[12:17am] Gara: "In exchange for?"
[12:17am] Alivi: "….me letting you return home."
[12:18am] Gara: "And how do we know you won't betray us?"
[12:18am] Alivi: "A Kami, never betrays their word."
[12:18am] Gara: "What will you do with it?"
[12:19am] GraemeCracker: Hank is quietly reloading his gun, wary in case another attack occurs.
[12:19am] Alivi: "I will proceed."
[12:19am] PaulS_laptop: "With?"
[12:20am] Alivi: "My plans of course."
[12:20am] Gara: "Which are?"
[12:20am] PaulS_laptop: 6df+7 perception maneuver. Bill /casually/ settles into a position where he can readily engage
[12:20am] Glacon: PaulS_laptop: perception maneuver. Bill /casually/ settles into a position where he can readily engage: 6 (6df+7=0, -, +, +, -, -)
[12:20am] Tehpillowstar left the chat room. (Quit: Be right back; going to the moon. )
[12:20am] Balthazaar: "Uh huh, and what are these plans."
[12:20am] Tehpillowstar joined the chat room.
[12:20am] Alivi: "I told you once Loren….For someone who works for Foundation Espionage….you are surprisingly forgetful of important information."
[12:21am] Gara: "You weren't very clear, and it helps to make your assets repeat themselves. Makes them get stuck in lies."
[12:21am] Balthazaar: 6df+5 Agility maneuver. Mark prepares to spring into the action...
[12:21am] Glacon: Balthazaar: Agility maneuver. Mark prepares to spring into the action...: 4 (6df+5=-, 0, 0, -, +, 0)
[12:22am] Alivi: "I am not lying. I was never dishonest about my intentions to spread my realm."
[12:22am] Gara: "And beyond that point. You told us that you want all the crystals to spread this realm, but you never told us /why/"
[12:22am] Alivi: "I do not care for the other crystals, for they are not mine."
[12:23am] Alivi: "The one you have is mine."
[12:23am] Balthazaar: "Yeah, because this is a realm we want spreading. It's a damn shithole."
[12:23am] Gara: "And yet you said they would come here,because this is the first."
[12:23am] Alivi: "No…they will be lost."
[12:23am] Alivi: "Mine shall expand."
[12:23am] Gara: "And what will that change for you."
[12:24am] Alivi: "Nothing but a realm where the Kami or at least I am remembered by humans once more."
[12:24am] Alivi: "My pure realm being spread."
[12:24am] Alivi: "This is the best way to protect it."
[12:26am] Gara: "Fine."
[12:26am] Gara: "Taggart, toss it over."
[12:26am] TheRaven: "Alright." He does/
[12:27am] Alivi: are you sure you want to do that Taggart????
[12:27am] Alivi: Before it leaves your hand.
[12:27am] Balthazaar: Mark watches the god get his stone back. He has a sinking feeling that it's a mistake
[12:27am] TheRaven: He hesitates momentarily.
[12:27am] Alivi: Fujin looks at Taggart.
[12:27am] Alivi: "Well..."
[12:27am] Gara: "Well what?"
[12:27am] TheRaven: "I feel like this is somehow a bad idea."
[12:28am] Alivi: "im waiting."
[12:28am] Gara: "It might be."
[12:28am] Balthazaar: "I second that thought."
[12:28am] Gara: "Do you have any other recommendations?"
[12:29am] Gara: "Besides continuing to try to kill the god."
[12:29am] Alivi: "I want my realm protected."
[12:29am] TheRaven: "Wouldn't be the first time we did."
[12:29am] Alivi: "It will not be so until I expand it."
[12:29am] Gara: "That's all well and good for you realm."
[12:29am] GraemeCracker: "Could you expand it somewhere else?"
[12:29am] Gara: "But why do we care about your realm?"
[12:29am] Alivi: "It has already connected."
[12:30am] Alivi: "It does not matter whether you care or not."
[12:30am] Gara: "Then what's stopping us from putting a .50 cal round into the crystal?"
[12:30am] Alivi: "What would that do to it?"
[12:30am] Gara: "It'd be dust."
[12:30am] Alivi: "Oh?"
[12:31am] Alivi: there is amusment in his tone.
[12:31am] Gara: "Or, if not, just keeping it?"
[12:31am] Alivi: "what would you even do with it?"
[12:31am] Balthazaar: "Keep it away from you."
[12:31am] Gara: "Nothing at all."
[12:31am] Gara: "Put it in a box."
[12:31am] PaulS_laptop: "Insure it neither gets captured not destroyed"
[12:32am] PaulS_laptop: "And insure we need not worry about /you/"
[12:32am] Alivi: "I reside in the stone. It and I are one in the same."
[12:32am] PaulS_laptop: "Everybody wins"
[12:32am] Alivi: He looks at Bill.
[12:32am] Alivi: "Are you suggesting I entrust my realm to you?"
[12:32am] PaulS_laptop: "Yes, and those like me."
[12:32am] PaulS_laptop: Bill is completely serious
[12:32am] Alivi: "Why?"
[12:32am] PaulS_laptop: staring back at the god
[12:33am] Alivi: "Why is that better than my own expansion?"
[12:33am] Gara: "Because we don't accidently lose things."
[12:33am] GraemeCracker: "And perhaps it'll be safer that way."
[12:33am] Balthazaar: Mark catches on. "Yeah, our organization is the best in the realm at containment."
[12:33am] Gara: "In any realm."
[12:33am] Alivi: "….I shall consider your offer."
[12:34am] Alivi: "If my realm is unleashed…I shall take full vengence…."
[12:34am] Alivi: "Until then….a deal has been made."
[12:34am] Alivi: The wind begins picking up.
[12:34am] Gara: "Oh we know."
[12:34am] PaulS_laptop: Bill nods
[12:34am] Balthazaar: "Yeah yeah yeah. Can we go home now?"
[12:35am] GraemeCracker: Hank sighs in relief that they didn't have to try and persuade the God further.
[12:35am] Alivi: "Good luck, Poolboys, and may my sons….daughters, brothers and sisters….be more understanding than I."
[12:35am] PaulS_laptop: Bill nods. "And may your realm be safe."
[12:36am] Balthazaar: "Catch ya later."
[12:36am] GraemeCracker: "See you around, Fujin-Sama."
[12:36am] Alivi: He stares at you, The wind swirls around and soon you are in a vortex. In a rush of wind they are whisked away back to the site. And are deposited onto the roof in #farrecon.
[12:36am] Gara: (Roof of where?)
[12:37am] Alivi: of the site.
[12:37am] Alivi: Like where the helicopters are
