  1. [2012-12-27 20:16:29] <Falconis> logging start
  2. [2012-12-27 20:17:15] <Falconis> When we last saw Hadrian, he was pondering the future and an invitation from a lady in red
  3. [2012-12-27 20:17:17] <Falconis> or something
  4. [2012-12-27 20:17:45] <Falconis> The morning, as usual, comes bright and early in the rising room
  5. [2012-12-27 20:18:17] <PriceisMagic> (pinging Grail kun)
  6. [2012-12-27 20:18:21] <Grail> I'm here
  7. [2012-12-27 20:18:21] <Falconis> the specially designed crystal panes picking up the faintest rays of sunlight and magnifying them several times over
  8. [2012-12-27 20:18:43] <Grail> Hadrian gets out of bed
  9. [2012-12-27 20:19:05] <Grail> Stretches himself like a cat after a lazy day in the rays of the sun, but then he realizes he hates the sun and closes the blinds
  10. [2012-12-27 20:19:10] <Grail> This was a terrible choice of room
  11. [2012-12-27 20:19:12] <Falconis> heh
  12. [2012-12-27 20:20:22] <Falconis> A soft click and the shuffle of cloth heralds Phineas entering the room with assorted THINGS
  13. [2012-12-27 20:20:25] <Falconis> anyway
  14. [2012-12-27 20:20:26] <Falconis> what do
  15. [2012-12-27 20:20:27] <Grail> Today's agenda: there's the chance of chatting up that oh so seductive and slinky scarlet lady and there's experimenting with his strange magical toys
  16. [2012-12-27 20:20:28] <Falconis> bath things
  17. [2012-12-27 20:21:39] <Grail> Ahhh
  18. [2012-12-27 20:21:41] <Grail> Bath things
  19. [2012-12-27 20:22:09] <Wuthering_Flakes> (the most important part of the day!)
  20. [2012-12-27 20:22:41] <Falconis> >_>
  21. [2012-12-27 20:22:43] <Falconis> <_<
  22. [2012-12-27 20:23:30] <Falconis> The short heavily bearded man quietly makes his way over to the tub and sets the various salts and scents by them
  23. [2012-12-27 20:24:15] <Grail> "Phineas, use your best judgement for what the Lady Juddeca would enjoy. I'll take my breakfast in my room, something hearty please."
  24. [2012-12-27 20:24:46] <Falconis> [Phineas]"Right away master Sweiss"
  25. [2012-12-27 20:25:55] <Falconis> He reaches into two paper bags and produces a handful of reddish dust and whiteish dust 'which he casts into the filling tub
  26. [2012-12-27 20:26:00] <Falconis> and takes his leave
  27. [2012-12-27 20:26:06] <Grail> What does it smell like?
  28. [2012-12-27 20:26:12] <Grail> Hadrian is gambling here
  29. [2012-12-27 20:26:18] <Falconis> heh
  30. [2012-12-27 20:26:19] <Falconis> Cinnamon
  31. [2012-12-27 20:26:31] <Falconis> and...something else
  32. [2012-12-27 20:26:51] <Grail> Hm, we'll see how this works
  33. [2012-12-27 20:27:00] <Grail> Scrub a dub dub, one Sweiss in a tub
  34. [2012-12-27 20:27:16] <Falconis> scrub scrub scrub clean
  35. [2012-12-27 20:27:20] <Wuthering_Flakes> (salty coins and milk)
  36. [2012-12-27 20:27:28] <Grail> Hadrian sets the hour glass while he bathes, set it for enough time to finish and dress
  37. [2012-12-27 20:27:46] <Grail> While he does so he will think about the living room
  38. [2012-12-27 20:27:53] <Falconis> where do you put it >_>
  39. [2012-12-27 20:28:10] <Falconis> ?*
  40. [2012-12-27 20:29:08] <Grail> On the tub side
  41. [2012-12-27 20:29:13] <Grail> Where I put it last time
  42. [2012-12-27 20:29:15] <Falconis> k
  43. [2012-12-27 20:31:05] <Falconis> You set the hourglass down on the side of the tub. The sands run down in their strange swirling motion, sometimes going in directions at odds to gravity.
  44. [2012-12-27 20:32:02] <Falconis> As you finish your bath, Phineas returns with a tray full of MEAT and thick slabs of bread with a pile of assorted greens on teh side
  45. [2012-12-27 20:32:17] <Grail> Mmm delicious
  46. [2012-12-27 20:32:18] <Falconis> a glass full of a fruity shake accompanies it
  47. [2012-12-27 20:32:22] <Grail> FRUIT SHAKE
  48. [2012-12-27 20:32:25] <Grail> MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE
  49. [2012-12-27 20:32:29] <Falconis> lol
  50. [2012-12-27 20:32:36] <Grail> Hadrian drinks that down
  51. [2012-12-27 20:32:46] <Grail> Eating and drinking while the sand ticks
  52. [2012-12-27 20:33:03] <Falconis> The drink is thick and cool, feeling almost as a meal unto itself with that consistency
  53. [2012-12-27 20:33:32] <Falconis> The meal is hearty and filling, definitely a heavy, hearty start to the day
  54. [2012-12-27 20:34:03] <Falconis> The sands continue to run until finally, after about an hour, they are all more or less sitting at the bottom of the second chamber
  55. [2012-12-27 20:34:51] <Falconis> Phineas has left the room while you ate, the smells of food for the non early risers wafting up the stairs
  56. [2012-12-27 20:35:06] <Falconis> ENERGY
  57. [2012-12-27 20:35:08] <Falconis> >_
  58. [2012-12-27 20:35:08] <Grail> Hadrian watches it the hourglass intently
  59. [2012-12-27 20:36:06] <Falconis> it's just as it always looks, just ...upside down I guess since the spiral doesn't really look properly symmetrical
  60. [2012-12-27 20:36:38] <Grail> Aw man
  61. [2012-12-27 20:36:38] <Falconis> crystal bending the light in interesting ways, stone top and back cool and hard
  62. [2012-12-27 20:36:52] <Grail> He was expecting magic to happen? What's with the lack of magic up in this bitch?
  63. [2012-12-27 20:36:55] <Falconis> sand sandy
  64. [2012-12-27 20:37:02] <Falconis> indeed
  65. [2012-12-27 20:37:08] <Grail> Flip it again
  66. [2012-12-27 20:37:11] <Falconis> what IS with the lack of magic up in this bitch
  67. [2012-12-27 20:37:15] <Falconis> where do you put it
  68. [2012-12-27 20:37:20] <Grail> In my hands
  69. [2012-12-27 20:37:26] <Grail> It's a full hour glass, right?
  70. [2012-12-27 20:37:34] <Falconis> yeeeees?
  71. [2012-12-27 20:37:35] <Falconis> yes
  72. [2012-12-27 20:37:55] <Falconis> it runs down in about an hour from any given side
  73. [2012-12-27 20:37:57] <Falconis> <_<
  74. [2012-12-27 20:37:58] <Falconis> >_>
  75. [2012-12-27 20:38:20] <Grail> Fine, time to hold it
  76. [2012-12-27 20:38:25] <Grail> Put it in a pocket
  77. [2012-12-27 20:38:34] <Falconis> You flip the hourglass again, resting it's cool weight in your hands as the sands start to run down
  78. [2012-12-27 20:38:42] <Grail> Hadrian will instead open his music box
  79. [2012-12-27 20:38:49] <Falconis> oh, k
  80. [2012-12-27 20:39:35] <Grail> The hourglass is in his pocket
  81. [2012-12-27 20:39:42] <Grail> Ticking away
  82. [2012-12-27 20:41:31] <Falconis> as the sands run you reach for the music box and open it
  83. [2012-12-27 20:41:40] <Falconis> the music wafts out on the breeze http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1KU2a_TGVk
  84. [2012-12-27 20:41:43] <Classhole> GIF WITH SOUND: Katawa Shoujo OST - Musicbox
  85. [2012-12-27 20:42:23] <Grail> Oh hey, I actually played that game recently
  86. [2012-12-27 20:42:36] <Falconis> The world goes black and a sinking feeling sits upon you for a moment
  87. [2012-12-27 20:42:38] <Falconis> and then it's gone
  88. [2012-12-27 20:42:50] <Grail> A sinking feeling...
  89. [2012-12-27 20:42:59] <Grail> Any better way to describe how the world went black?
  90. [2012-12-27 20:43:00] <Wuthering_Flakes> (Best Girl according to you? Think carefully, I will judge you forever based on your answer)
  91. [2012-12-27 20:43:02] <Grail> Visually?
  92. [2012-12-27 20:43:33] <Falconis> like a curtain falling over your vision or... wait falling up your vision, like falling in a hole
  93. [2012-12-27 20:43:36] <Wuthering_Flakes> (The Route man, the routes.)
  94. [2012-12-27 20:43:51] <Falconis> you are here http://aldosianturi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/concerthall1.jpg
  95. [2012-12-27 20:44:13] <Falconis> (best girl? >_> I want to say Emi)
  96. [2012-12-27 20:44:31] <Grail> (It depends on what you're looking for.)
  97. [2012-12-27 20:44:36] <Falconis> (yar)
  98. [2012-12-27 20:44:50] <Grail> (I like Emi, she was my first playthrough, but Lily is pretty awesome too)
  99. [2012-12-27 20:44:56] <Grail> (Least favorite is Shizune)
  100. [2012-12-27 20:45:14] <Falconis> anyway, the curtain of black rises and you find yourself sitting in an empty concert hall,
  101. [2012-12-27 20:45:20] <Wuthering_Flakes> (Damn right! I couln't have said it any better!)
  102. [2012-12-27 20:45:53] <Falconis> unlit lanterns line the walls, the moonlight coming from a glass covered hole in the ceiling just barely enough for you to make out a piano on the stage
  103. [2012-12-27 20:45:58] <Falconis> I hope you were dressed
  104. [2012-12-27 20:46:00] <Falconis> >_
  105. [2012-12-27 20:46:07] <Grail> I was dressed
  106. [2012-12-27 20:46:25] <Grail> For reference, this is a new place, completely foreign to me, right?
  107. [2012-12-27 20:46:31] <Falconis> yes
  108. [2012-12-27 20:46:34] <Falconis> yes it is
  109. [2012-12-27 20:46:52] <Falconis> (Emi and Lily tie for best, Emi was first runthrough,)
  110. [2012-12-27 20:47:12] <Grail> Hadrian...does not know how to play the piano
  111. [2012-12-27 20:47:19] <Falconis> damn
  112. [2012-12-27 20:47:32] <Wuthering_Flakes> (I know that feel, we all got locked into the route by accepting morning PT)
  113. [2012-12-27 20:47:47] <Falconis> The music box continues to play it's little tune, a tiny metal rotating drum hitting tiny keys inside it
  114. [2012-12-27 20:48:15] <Grail> Well maybe Hadrian knows a little tune
  115. [2012-12-27 20:48:31] <Grail> Used to play it up when he was a kid, get some more money than begging and stealing
  116. [2012-12-27 20:48:36] <Grail> Let's see how much he remembers...
  117. [2012-12-27 20:48:40] <Grail> .dice 1d100
  118. [2012-12-27 20:48:41] <Classhole> Grail: Average(99.00) Total(99) Rolled(1d100=99)
  119. [2012-12-27 20:48:52] <Falconis> dat memory
  120. [2012-12-27 20:49:00] <Grail> Hadrian somehow forgot he was a prodigy
  121. [2012-12-27 20:49:12] <Grail> It's okay, he remembers now. Time to play some piano
  122. [2012-12-27 20:49:37] <Grail> He sits down at the bench...and plays. He can't see anyone in the crowd, but it feels right.
  123. [2012-12-27 20:51:07] <Grail> This is what you're supposed to do when you get caught in magical shenanigans, right?
  124. [2012-12-27 20:51:13] <Falconis> You sit and play, playing your little tune on the rather nice piano
  125. [2012-12-27 20:51:19] <Falconis> obviously
  126. [2012-12-27 20:51:50] <Falconis> You feel a warmth in your pocket
  127. [2012-12-27 20:52:20] <Falconis> The tune is good, your memory served you well it seems and it echo's and resounds in the empty hall
  128. [2012-12-27 20:52:43] <Falconis> the moon continues to steadily bathe the area in it's silver glow
  129. [2012-12-27 20:52:46] <Falconis> >_
  130. [2012-12-27 20:53:05] <Grail> Which pocket is warm?
  131. [2012-12-27 20:53:08] <Grail> The hourglass pocket?
  132. [2012-12-27 20:53:12] <Falconis> hourglass pocket
  133. [2012-12-27 20:53:47] <Grail> Start playing along with the music box
  134. [2012-12-27 20:55:49] <Falconis> heh
  135. [2012-12-27 20:55:50] <Falconis> roll
  136. [2012-12-27 20:55:56] <Grail> .dice 1d100
  137. [2012-12-27 20:55:57] <Classhole> Grail: Average(32.00) Total(32) Rolled(1d100=32)
  138. [2012-12-27 20:56:52] <Wuthering_Flakes> (YOU FAIL HORRIBLY)
  139. [2012-12-27 20:57:05] <Falconis> You try and play along with the Music box, but it's ultimately a mess. You are only able to get one key right every 7 or so seconds and the time in between spent ponging around trying to find the right note
  140. [2012-12-27 20:57:28] <Falconis> the music box continues to be a music box, unperturbed by your miserable sacrifice
  141. [2012-12-27 20:57:30] <Falconis> >_
  142. [2012-12-27 20:57:39] <Grail> Hm
  143. [2012-12-27 20:57:43] <Grail> Check my pocket
  144. [2012-12-27 20:59:26] <Falconis> The large, heavy hourglass is there, sand running from one chamber to the other despite it lying on it's side. Whisps of light flow around it and across it's surface, a low humming accompanying their movement.
  145. [2012-12-27 20:59:27] <Falconis> >_
  146. [2012-12-27 21:00:15] <Grail> How's it's progress?
  147. [2012-12-27 21:00:33] <Grail> Half an through, fourty minutes? Fifty?
  148. [2012-12-27 21:01:20] <Falconis> how long have you been playing?
  149. [2012-12-27 21:02:27] <Grail> Hadrian doesn't know.
  150. [2012-12-27 21:03:29] <Falconis> >_>
  151. [2012-12-27 21:03:44] <Falconis> it's about 10% down
  152. [2012-12-27 21:03:56] <Falconis> still the majority to run
  153. [2012-12-27 21:04:10] <Grail> Keep in the pocket
  154. [2012-12-27 21:04:13] <Grail> Continue to play
  155. [2012-12-27 21:04:29] <Grail> Along with the melody of the music box, of course. Do you need another roll?
  156. [2012-12-27 21:05:01] <Falconis> if you would like
  157. [2012-12-27 21:05:07] <Falconis> how long are you keeping this up?
  158. [2012-12-27 21:06:15] <Grail> Half an hour
  159. [2012-12-27 21:06:22] <Grail> .dice 1d100
  160. [2012-12-27 21:06:23] <Classhole> Grail: Average(52.00) Total(52) Rolled(1d100=52)
  161. [2012-12-27 21:08:12] <Falconis> You continue to play and muck around for half an hour or so, trying to play the music from the music box
  162. [2012-12-27 21:08:48] <Falconis> with a soft click, one of the double doors at the back of the hall opens, and an old looking man with a mop comes inside
  163. [2012-12-27 21:08:49] <Falconis> >_
  164. [2012-12-27 21:09:22] <Grail> Stop playing for a moment
  165. [2012-12-27 21:09:29] <Grail> "Hello?"
  166. [2012-12-27 21:10:13] <Falconis> The old man looks up at you in shock and surprise, he drops his mop
  167. [2012-12-27 21:11:07] <Grail> "Do you work here?"
  168. [2012-12-27 21:11:13] <Falconis> He looks you up and down and then points at you indignantly
  169. [2012-12-27 21:11:59] <Falconis> [old man]" يا طفل، لا يمكنك أن تكون في هنا " he speaks sternly and disapprovingly in a language you don't recognize
  170. [2012-12-27 21:12:31] <Falconis> [old man]"انها بعد حلول الظلام"
  171. [2012-12-27 21:12:49] <Grail> "I don't understand." Hadrian shakes his head
  172. [2012-12-27 21:12:55] <Falconis> [old man] " من أنت على أية حال؟"
  173. [2012-12-27 21:13:11] <Grail> Are there even other languages on our continent?
  174. [2012-12-27 21:13:24] <Falconis> (not that you are aware of, no)
  175. [2012-12-27 21:13:37] <Falconis> The old man bends down with some difficulty and scoops up his mop
  176. [2012-12-27 21:13:43] <Grail> What's the name of our continent?
  177. [2012-12-27 21:13:46] <Falconis> he waves it at you and points at the door
  178. [2012-12-27 21:13:52] <Falconis> it's [insert name here]
  179. [2012-12-27 21:14:05] <Grail> "[Insert name here]?"
  180. [2012-12-27 21:14:06] <Falconis> sec
  181. [2012-12-27 21:14:07] <Falconis> >_>
  182. [2012-12-27 21:14:32] <Falconis> Angua
  183. [2012-12-27 21:14:53] <Grail> "Angua?"
  184. [2012-12-27 21:15:27] <Falconis> The old man, screws up his eyebrows and waves the mop and points at the door again
  185. [2012-12-27 21:16:10] <Falconis> [old man]"الحصول على الجحيم من هنا طفل لها قبل استدعاء ضباط "
  186. [2012-12-27 21:16:22] <Grail> Hadrian closes his music box
  187. [2012-12-27 21:16:49] <Falconis> you close the music box and the room goes quite save your breathing and the old man cussing
  188. [2012-12-27 21:17:09] <Falconis> >_
  189. [2012-12-27 21:17:43] <Grail> Cursing: the universal language
  190. [2012-12-27 21:18:15] <Grail> Hadrian takes his things up with him and leaves the stage
  191. [2012-12-27 21:18:43] <Grail> Does the old man look like he's from Angua?
  192. [2012-12-27 21:18:56] <Grail> Bone structure, hair style, clothing, skin tone?
  193. [2012-12-27 21:20:04] <Falconis> He looks like he could easily live there, though his clothing looks a bit odd to you
  194. [2012-12-27 21:20:13] <Falconis> but then again YOU FROM MINERVA BABY
  195. [2012-12-27 21:20:57] <Grail> Weird
  196. [2012-12-27 21:21:04] <Grail> Hadrian leaves the room then
  197. [2012-12-27 21:21:16] <Grail> Holding onto his hourglass in his pocket
  198. [2012-12-27 21:21:17] <PriceisMagic> (I thought we didnt know about other continents?)
  199. [2012-12-27 21:21:31] <Falconis> (KEEEEE KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE)
  200. [2012-12-27 21:21:35] <Falconis> (you don't)
  201. [2012-12-27 21:21:56] <Falconis> you leave the room, the old man gesturing at you with the mop in arngry ways
  202. [2012-12-27 21:22:11] <Grail> What lies outside the room?
  203. [2012-12-27 21:22:20] <Falconis> You enter a hallway to the outside and the smell of the ocean hits you like a brick
  204. [2012-12-27 21:22:23] <Falconis> a heavy brick
  205. [2012-12-27 21:22:28] <Falconis> loaded with spices
  206. [2012-12-27 21:22:49] <Grail> Look around, any signs in the language he understands?
  207. [2012-12-27 21:22:52] <Falconis> The hallway is made of wood and painted gold and brown, lit torches line it
  208. [2012-12-27 21:23:02] <Falconis> like, in the hall?
  209. [2012-12-27 21:23:08] <Falconis> or outside or what >_>
  210. [2012-12-27 21:23:37] <Grail> Outside
  211. [2012-12-27 21:24:55] <Falconis> you go outside, leaving behind the little hallways
  212. [2012-12-27 21:25:04] <Falconis> sand, sand everywhere
  213. [2012-12-27 21:25:55] <Grail> All sand?
  214. [2012-12-27 21:27:01] <Falconis> You stand on a small rise in front of the hall, dozens of low, domed buildings spread out below and aorund you leading up the the ocean. A few boats of unfamiliar design sit in what is recognizable as a dock
  215. [2012-12-27 21:27:17] <Falconis> the buildings seem to be made of wood and ... clay?
  216. [2012-12-27 21:27:27] <Grail> Odd
  217. [2012-12-27 21:27:27] <Falconis> you see no signs
  218. [2012-12-27 21:27:34] <Grail> I check my hourglass
  219. [2012-12-27 21:27:55] <Falconis> it has run quite a way, almost all the sand has moved from one chamber to the next
  220. [2012-12-27 21:27:57] <Grail> Hadrian is thinking of the stall he first 'liberated' it from
  221. [2012-12-27 21:28:25] <Grail> While he does so he is going to walk towards one of these buildings
  222. [2012-12-27 21:29:29] <Falconis> roll for thief senses
  223. [2012-12-27 21:29:32] <Falconis> >_>
  224. [2012-12-27 21:29:35] <Falconis> add your bonuses
  225. [2012-12-27 21:29:56] <Grail> Which bonuses?
  226. [2012-12-27 21:29:57] <Grail> Gloves?
  227. [2012-12-27 21:30:34] <Falconis> class
  228. [2012-12-27 21:30:46] <PriceisMagic> (Thief levels, so 10)
  229. [2012-12-27 21:30:56] <PriceisMagic> (since 2x5=10)
  230. [2012-12-27 21:31:13] <Grail> .dice 1d100+10
  231. [2012-12-27 21:31:14] <Classhole> Grail: Average(5.70) Total(57) Rolled(1d100+10=47)
  232. [2012-12-27 21:32:19] <Falconis> good enaff
  233. [2012-12-27 21:32:26] <Grail> Excellent
  234. [2012-12-27 21:32:38] <Grail> I feel like I'll need my fate point for something else today
  235. [2012-12-27 21:33:47] <Falconis> You step out towards the buildings and suddenly feel that this course of action isn't the best. It's that feeling you get when you are about to mug a guy traveling among some plain clothes minervan guards, or that time when Donby's guys came over the first time
  236. [2012-12-27 21:34:20] <Falconis> you won't need to fate unless you go full derp, maybe
  237. [2012-12-27 21:35:24] <Grail> Hm well
  238. [2012-12-27 21:35:38] <Grail> Let's just go back inside
  239. [2012-12-27 21:35:45] <Grail> Into this...concert hall?
  240. [2012-12-27 21:35:54] <Grail> Wait until the sand ticks away
  241. [2012-12-27 21:36:13] <Grail> Hopefully he can return somewhere familiar
  242. [2012-12-27 21:36:26] <Falconis> You head back to da hall
  243. [2012-12-27 21:36:50] <Falconis> back into it's not quite so sandy embrace and wait for the sands to run down
  244. [2012-12-27 21:37:03] <Falconis> a few minutes pass uneventfully
  245. [2012-12-27 21:37:22] <Falconis> and the sands finish running, the hourglass goes dim
  246. [2012-12-27 21:38:02] <Grail> Still thinking of the stall
  247. [2012-12-27 21:39:38] <Falconis> >_>
  248. [2012-12-27 21:40:20] <Falconis> The hourglass vibrates and flips, the sinking feeling returns and... the sun beats down on your face, you stand in front of the stall of the exotic items merchant
  249. [2012-12-27 21:40:30] <Falconis> he does not seem to be present
  250. [2012-12-27 21:40:51] <Grail> Phew
  251. [2012-12-27 21:40:57] <Falconis> The marketplace is just starting to come alive, a few people moving around to get the fresh fruit
  252. [2012-12-27 21:40:59] <Grail> Hadrian did not enjoy whatever that was
  253. [2012-12-27 21:41:05] <Grail> ...fresh fruit?
  254. [2012-12-27 21:41:27] <Grail> Peaches man, gotta get some peaches
  255. [2012-12-27 21:41:49] <Grail> Are they in season? Whatever, peaches will help clear the mind from his strange trip to a stranger land
  256. [2012-12-27 21:42:43] <Falconis> alas, the peaches elude you
  257. [2012-12-27 21:43:07] <Falconis> the Forbis market is sadly lacking in this item
  258. [2012-12-27 21:43:09] <Grail> So far, lessons learned: The music box takes you...somewhere. The hourglass /might/ teleport you places too, but Hadrian isn't sure if it's anywhere or just this one stall.
  259. [2012-12-27 21:43:33] <Grail> Damn it, no peaches.
  260. [2012-12-27 21:44:10] <Falconis> SHENNANIGANS
  261. [2012-12-27 21:44:16] <Falconis> spelling but yea >_>
  262. [2012-12-27 21:44:33] <Grail> Hadrian will have to make do. Now to see how visitng the lady.
  263. [2012-12-27 21:44:52] <Grail> He can't just turn up, especially not like this. He's still in his leathers. The cloak hides them well, but...
  264. [2012-12-27 21:45:05] <Grail> Tailor's place
  265. [2012-12-27 21:45:27] <Grail> Not the one whose doing the sneak suit, one step down in snootiness if possible
  266. [2012-12-27 21:46:48] <Wuthering_Flakes> (oooooh fate rolls)
  267. [2012-12-27 21:46:53] <Falconis> sec
  268. [2012-12-27 21:47:47] <Grail> (Forgot about those, didn't you?)
  269. [2012-12-27 21:48:01] <PriceisMagic> (HA)
  270. [2012-12-27 21:48:11] <Wuthering_Flakes> (I did, I'm currently thinking how stuff would go with Erik if I remembered)
  271. [2012-12-27 21:48:58] <PriceisMagic> (Fuck me, finally done this damn character)
  272. [2012-12-27 21:49:03] <Falconis> OKAY
  273. [2012-12-27 21:49:14] <PriceisMagic> (Not even sure if I've done it right though)
  274. [2012-12-27 21:49:34] <Falconis> you head to the tailors, a pretty good guy, well known on the upper side
  275. [2012-12-27 21:49:55] <Falconis> not a personal tailor, but clothes many of the family wannabes
  276. [2012-12-27 21:50:56] <Falconis> and by guy, of course I mean girl
  277. [2012-12-27 21:51:24] <Falconis> WHAT DO YOU REQUIRE YOUNG BRIGAND?
  278. [2012-12-27 21:52:07] <Grail> Well of course the first question is how does she look?
  279. [2012-12-27 21:52:13] <Grail> Young damsel or old spinner?
  280. [2012-12-27 21:54:41] <Falconis> A young lady somewhere in her late twenties or early thirties. Brunnete, petite. Diamond ring on her finger shining like a star
  281. [2012-12-27 21:55:31] <Grail> Ah well
  282. [2012-12-27 21:56:13] <Grail> Hadrian is disappointed, but nevermind that! He has his eyes set on a far greater prize
  283. [2012-12-27 21:56:32] <Wuthering_Flakes> (Oh Grail, Oh you!)
  284. [2012-12-27 21:56:56] <Grail> (He's totally going to steal that ring if he gets the chance)
  285. [2012-12-27 21:57:42] <Wuthering_Flakes> (Suuuuure, Grail. The Ring. Suuuuuure)
  286. [2012-12-27 21:59:44] <Grail> "Hello mrs, tell me, do you think you could spin me some threads that would stand noble scrutiny? I've seen some of your customers, wonderful work, though it's difficult to tell between the airs they put on."
  287. [2012-12-27 22:01:55] <Falconis> She puts a finger on her lip and tuts disapprovingly
  288. [2012-12-27 22:02:26] <Falconis> [Tailor]"Did you have a certain event in mind dearie or is this for...general wear?"
  289. [2012-12-27 22:03:25] <Grail> "I'm meeting a certain Lady, we're to discuss business opportunites." he says, with just the right inflection to hint at what sort of business opportunities those might be.
  290. [2012-12-27 22:04:49] <Falconis> she rolls her eyes and tuts again
  291. [2012-12-27 22:05:17] <Grail> Hadrian is soaking up
  292. [2012-12-27 22:05:23] <Falconis> [Tailor]"And did you have a certain design in mind or am I to have free reign here?"
  293. [2012-12-27 22:05:45] <Grail> "Free reign, please."
  294. [2012-12-27 22:07:31] <Falconis> She smiles
  295. [2012-12-27 22:07:38] <Falconis> [Tailor]"Timeline?"
  296. [2012-12-27 22:09:15] <Grail> "Within the next few days, multiple sets of clothing if you can manage it."
  297. [2012-12-27 22:11:09] <Falconis> [Tailor]"Very well. I assume you can pay for it. My services must be paid for upfront."
  298. [2012-12-27 22:11:12] <Falconis> she reaches out a hand
  299. [2012-12-27 22:11:47] <Falconis> [Tailor]" 1000 gold per suit of clothing, more if you wish to change anything"
  300. [2012-12-27 22:12:14] <Grail> Steep prices, but Hadrian trusts her work, two thousand gold it is.
  301. [2012-12-27 22:12:30] <Grail> These better be some great threads
  302. [2012-12-27 22:12:33] <Falconis> (WE HAVE AN ACCOOOOOORD)
  303. [2012-12-27 22:12:37] <Falconis> (CRACKABOOM)
  304. [2012-12-27 22:12:41] <Grail> You can buy a horse for that much
  305. [2012-12-27 22:12:47] <Grail> A really good horse
  306. [2012-12-27 22:12:57] <Falconis> yes but you can't wear a horse to the ball
  307. [2012-12-27 22:12:57] <PriceisMagic> You can buy a ok house for that
  308. [2012-12-27 22:13:07] <PriceisMagic> (infact, you brought one for cheaper)
  309. [2012-12-27 22:13:23] <Grail> Actually I rejiggered my numbers
  310. [2012-12-27 22:13:37] <Grail> I put 2k into Hubert
  311. [2012-12-27 22:13:41] <Grail> Just because
  312. [2012-12-27 22:13:58] <Grail> Can't have a grand carriage without a grand horse
  313. [2012-12-27 22:15:07] <Grail> Anyway, clothes!
  314. [2012-12-27 22:15:19] <Falconis> She raises an eyebrow and gives a ponderous smile as you produce the gold
  315. [2012-12-27 22:15:22] <Falconis> and takes it from you
  316. [2012-12-27 22:15:57] <PriceisMagic> (You stealing that back later tonight?)
  317. [2012-12-27 22:16:00] <Falconis> [Tailor]"A pleasure doing business with you, Your suits will be available in a few days. Return in 3"
  318. [2012-12-27 22:16:13] <Falconis> [Tailor]"Is there anything else?"
  319. [2012-12-27 22:16:23] <Grail> "Do you require measurements?"
  320. [2012-12-27 22:16:42] <Grail> (Only after his suits are done)
  321. [2012-12-27 22:19:08] <Falconis> She walks around you quickly, casting a practiced eye over your robes and leathers
  322. [2012-12-27 22:19:20] <Falconis> [Tailor]"No, I think I have your measure"
  323. [2012-12-27 22:19:26] <Falconis> She smacks you on the arse
  324. [2012-12-27 22:19:40] <Falconis> [Tailor]"Now, if there is nothing else, I'll get started on those"
  325. [2012-12-27 22:19:47] <Grail> Hadrian grins
  326. [2012-12-27 22:20:06] <Grail> "Not a thing." he leaves
  327. [2012-12-27 22:20:14] <Grail> Now he has....fuck all to do.
  328. [2012-12-27 22:20:31] <PriceisMagic> (Slum it by nicking purses)
  329. [2012-12-27 22:20:41] <Falconis> hrm
  330. [2012-12-27 22:20:42] <Falconis> >_>
  331. [2012-12-27 22:20:44] <Grail> Realizing he needed good clothing kind of gums up his plans to see the lady today.
  332. [2012-12-27 22:20:48] <Falconis> you're earth attuned right grail?
  333. [2012-12-27 22:20:51] <Grail> Yes

  340. [2012-12-27 22:21:27] <Falconis> A breeze blows through town, covering you in dust
  341. [2012-12-27 22:21:35] <Falconis> >_
  342. [2012-12-27 22:21:37] <Falconis> continue

  345. [2012-12-27 22:21:42] <Grail> Just bathed
  346. [2012-12-27 22:21:51] <Grail> I smell like delicious cinnamon and mystery scent
  347. [2012-12-27 22:21:55] <Grail> Now I'm dusty
  348. [2012-12-27 22:22:09] <Grail> Brush that shit off
  349. [2012-12-27 22:22:29] <Grail> Look towards where the breeze hit me
  350. [2012-12-27 22:22:35] <Falconis> you brush the dust off as best you are able
  351. [2012-12-27 22:22:35] <PriceisMagic> (That reminds me, why didnt Hadrian feel the materiel man?)
  352. [2012-12-27 22:22:46] <Falconis> (magic boat)
  353. [2012-12-27 22:22:50] <Falconis> (also, he did)
  354. [2012-12-27 22:23:11] <Falconis> The breeze came from somewhere inland
  355. [2012-12-27 22:23:13] <Falconis> west
  356. [2012-12-27 22:23:55] <Grail> Hadrian is flustered and brushing himself as he walks, are there any passerbys who also got dust-ified?
  357. [2012-12-27 22:24:01] <Falconis> everyone
  358. [2012-12-27 22:24:04] <Falconis> and everything
  359. [2012-12-27 22:24:06] <Falconis> in sight
  360. [2012-12-27 22:25:33] <Grail> Walk towards the wind

  364. [2012-12-27 22:26:30] <Falconis> You walk towards the west end of town, just walking
  365. [2012-12-27 22:26:50] <Falconis> the breeze stopped but most things are still covered in dust
  366. [2012-12-27 22:27:06] <Falconis> nothing seems too out of order

  376. [2012-12-27 22:28:29] <Wuthering_Flakes> ;n;
  377. [2012-12-27 22:29:07] <Falconis> you keep on strutting through town, nothing at all being interesting or stand out
  378. [2012-12-27 22:29:12] <Falconis> roll 1d20 perception
  379. [2012-12-27 22:29:22] <Falconis> add thief levels
  380. [2012-12-27 22:29:40] <Grail> .dice 1d20+10
  381. [2012-12-27 22:29:41] <Classhole> Grail: Average(2.70) Total(27) Rolled(1d20+10=17)
  382. [2012-12-27 22:29:43] <PriceisMagic> (modifier or levels?)
  383. [2012-12-27 22:30:08] <Falconis> just levels
  384. [2012-12-27 22:30:19] <Falconis> so >_> 2
  385. [2012-12-27 22:30:49] <PriceisMagic> (Doesnt realy matter since he got a 19)
  386. [2012-12-27 22:31:09] <Falconis> (KEKEKEKEKEKKE)
  387. [2012-12-27 22:31:48] <Falconis> As you pass an ally, something just tells you to look to the right, and you see something definately out of place for Forbis
  388. [2012-12-27 22:33:02] <Falconis> A man in full black shirt and trouses wearing a black hat, shoes and visor. You are pretty damn sure you have seen this guy in Minerva, just...in alleys.
  389. [2012-12-27 22:33:26] <Falconis> He sports a broad, sparkling grin, and nods at you
  390. [2012-12-27 22:33:47] <Grail> Hadrian nods back
  391. [2012-12-27 22:34:03] <Grail> What do his thief senses tell him about this guy, besides that he should look at him?
  392. [2012-12-27 22:34:31] <Grail> Is he a big fish to swim away from? A friend? A foe?
  393. [2012-12-27 22:36:34] <Falconis> enigma
  394. [2012-12-27 22:36:37] <Falconis> weird
  395. [2012-12-27 22:36:56] <Falconis> possibly big fish judging by the two hulking brusiers in black behind him
  396. [2012-12-27 22:37:10] <Grail> You'd think they'd be more visible
  397. [2012-12-27 22:37:27] <Grail> "Enjoying the evening? Rather dusty isn't it?"
  398. [2012-12-27 22:38:31] <Falconis> [???]"It ain't bad. Nice town you got here. Wanna buy somethin?"
  399. [2012-12-27 22:39:50] <Falconis> he beckons you over
  400. [2012-12-27 22:40:45] <Grail> Hadrian enters the mouth of the alley.
  401. [2012-12-27 22:40:53] <Grail> "What are you selling?"
  402. [2012-12-27 22:41:10] <Falconis> You enter the ally, shrouded in shadows
  403. [2012-12-27 22:41:22] <Falconis> [???]"Anything and everything."
  404. [2012-12-27 22:41:34] <Falconis> *shades*
  405. [2012-12-27 22:41:40] <Falconis> [???]"For a price"
  406. [2012-12-27 22:42:12] <Wuthering_Flakes> (Seems trustworthy to me)
  407. [2012-12-27 22:43:21] <Grail> "What about information? You seem like you could sell me something I'm curious on...what happened in Minerva?"
  408. [2012-12-27 22:44:57] <Falconis> [???]"Well I can give you the skinny for a slim, but if you want the real down low, you gotta have them pesos"
  409. [2012-12-27 22:45:00] <Falconis> *shades*
  410. [2012-12-27 22:45:13] <Falconis> [???]"What'll it be?"
  411. [2012-12-27 22:45:32] <Wuthering_Flakes> (Peso to Dollars is approx 12.5/13)
  412. [2012-12-27 22:45:49] <Falconis> (good thing we use gold)
  413. [2012-12-27 22:45:54] <Falconis> (ha)
  414. [2012-12-27 22:46:49] <Falconis> he puts out his hand
  415. [2012-12-27 22:46:50] <Grail> "I want the real information, the full story. How much do you want?"
  416. [2012-12-27 22:48:06] <Falconis> he grins that wide grin
  417. [2012-12-27 22:48:14] <Falconis> [???]"How much you got?"
  418. [2012-12-27 22:48:35] <Grail> "Right now? Three thousand gold."
  419. [2012-12-27 22:49:09] <Falconis> [???]"For that I can give you somn, the real deal gonna run you 10k though"
  420. [2012-12-27 22:49:12] <Falconis> *grin*
  421. [2012-12-27 22:49:37] <Grail> "How long will you be around?"
  422. [2012-12-27 22:50:29] <Falconis> his grin spreads
  423. [2012-12-27 22:50:43] <Falconis> [???]"Oh, I think I'll be around for a while"
  424. [2012-12-27 22:53:11] <PriceisMagic> (Fuck it, I'm off to bed
  425. [2012-12-27 22:53:12] <PriceisMagic> )

  434. [2012-12-27 22:55:08] <Falconis> [22:50] Falconis his grin spreads

  437. [2012-12-27 22:55:52] <Falconis> [???]"I can do dat"
  438. [2012-12-27 22:56:43] <Grail> The gold is exchanged

  441. [2012-12-27 23:02:03] <Falconis> [???]"Alright then, here's your 3k Gold story. So Minerva got attacked, twice in one day. First attack had two big elementals, fire and water. Second had one huge, and I mean Titanic, Earth elemental, light shifted. Now these weren't by chance, someone brought them there, someone lookin for something. First two were well hidden, used illusions in the water to blind the people, plus, nobody...
  442. [2012-12-27 23:02:03] <Falconis> ...likes to stand out in the rain if you catch my drift. The second wasn't so secretive, Titan fell from the sky and tore the place apart lookin for something. Then Left without harming a soul."
  443. [2012-12-27 23:02:22] <Falconis> [???]"The rest, well, I can give you that"
  444. [2012-12-27 23:02:25] <Falconis> *shades*
  445. [2012-12-27 23:02:30] <Falconis> [???]"For a price"
  446. [2012-12-27 23:04:11] <Grail> "Sadly I'm without a dime on my personage. I'll have to find you again, when my pockets are full once more. I'd best be going now."
  447. [2012-12-27 23:05:12] <Falconis> he nods and grins his grinny grin
  448. [2012-12-27 23:05:35] <Grail> Hadrian is back out in the main street
  449. [2012-12-27 23:05:45] <Grail> Any changes, reactions to that odd dust storm?
  450. [2012-12-27 23:07:58] <Falconis> people in general seem more pissed off about the dirt
  451. [2012-12-27 23:08:02] <Falconis> dats bout it
  452. [2012-12-27 23:09:06] <Grail> Odd, Hadrian goes up to ask the least confused looking person about it.
  453. [2012-12-27 23:10:21] <Falconis> [randomguy#376]"This stupid dust eh? Out of bloomin nowhere, look at my petunias"
  454. [2012-12-27 23:10:39] <Grail> Pheh, useless
  455. [2012-12-27 23:12:01] <Grail> Hadrian is going to grab Hubert and take a ride to his shop, see if those people are done building it
  456. [2012-12-27 23:12:09] <Grail> Or rebuilding it
  457. [2012-12-27 23:13:18] <Falconis> pretty sure that was supposed to be tomorrow...
  458. [2012-12-27 23:13:31] <Falconis> They are still hammeran and cuttan
