3.5 Aside

[ 09:04:29 ]  [ dudeman ] Truth be told, Saryx, your injuries were pretty damn scary. A concussion, several lacerations, burn wounds, a sprained leg and dislocated shoulder. You have been completely laid out in a medical bed for the past 48 hours.
[ 09:06:30 ]  [ dudeman ] As you come to after dozing off from the pain killers, you notice a young woman sitting in a chair not far from you, looking over your equiptment. She seems equally fixated on both your fishing pole spear, and the necklace attatched to it.
[ 09:06:53 ]  [ dudeman ] She doesn't particularly seem to give a damn if you caught her in the act or not.
[ 09:11:27 ]  [ Saryx ] And to think most of those were self-afflicted, too! He slowly stirs, rising to an upright position as best he can before looking over at the woman. "Nnnnn... Hey there~" He waves to the woman. "Are you on staff with the rest of the nurses?" He's probably wrong as all hell, but damned boy's been messed up something fierce. He's got permission to be wrong~
[ 09:12:18 ]  [ Saryx ] He's totally noticing her staring at his pole, too :D This pleases the Saryx!
[ 09:16:10 ]  [ dudeman ] "Nurse? Hah!" She's got a...real funky accent. Roll Education: General on it.
[ 09:16:17 ]  [ Saryx ] 2d6
[ 09:16:18 ]  [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, 2d6: 3 [2d6=1,2]
[ 09:16:33 ]  [ Saryx ] It begins.
[ 09:17:08 ]  [ dudeman ] "Nay, I just hear they some halfwit who gave himself a concuhshion with his own wehpon and had tah see it."
[ 09:17:33 ]  [ dudeman ] "Stoopidest thing I evah seen, this thing." She picks up the necklace. "This is quite a beaut, howevah."
[ 09:19:22 ]  [ dudeman ] You have absolutely no idea what the fuck she's saying at first. Takes a few seconds to process.
[ 09:20:37 ]  [ Saryx ] "Oh, okay~" He starts responding cheerily. "Then what're you doing in my room, Miss...?" He stops. Tries to figure out just what the hell this chick's going on about. ". . . Ohhhhh..." He pretty much immediately deflates upon hearing the line that follows. "They're... Talking about that, aren't they?" If Saryx were a balloon, you'd hear the fart-esque noise of his mood spilling
[ 09:20:37 ]  [ Saryx ] out from his body. The verbal lacerations hurt just as bad as the actual ones he suffered.
[ 09:22:53 ]  [ Saryx ] "... My lure, though?" He asks as she plays with the thing dangling off the end of his pole. "... I made that. ... Both of those, actually..."
[ 09:24:31 ]  [ dudeman ] She seems quite puzzled. "You made a rock onah stihck, and this absolutely stunnin' lohcket?" She holds up the gold chain with the emerald and topaz heart.
[ 09:24:58 ]  [ dudeman ] "You're either a savanht with jehwels or full o' shit."
[ 09:27:00 ]  [ Saryx ] Oh, that thing! Saryx sees she wasn't actually looking at the Horsea lure and that kind of just is another kick to his nuts. Still, he kind of springs across the room as fast and gracefully as a battered cripple can (Which is to say, not at all) when he sees her touching that. "Wait don't touch that one that's important!"
[ 09:28:21 ]  [ dudeman ] She hands it over and holds her hands up. "Allhright, allhright, laddy. I ain't tryinta pinch it or nuttin'. Gift fo' your beau or somethin'?"
[ 09:33:02 ]  [ Saryx ] There might have been a complete spill on Saryx' end on his rush over. But once he eventually gets over there, he's a bit less of a spastic mess. "... Sorry, I thought you were... talking about this one..." He shakes the Horsea lure dangling from the pink ribbon a bit. "That one was... a gift from... someone important."
[ 09:34:33 ]  [ dudeman ] She stares at the horsea a bit. "It's cuhtue but I ain't xactly fond o' dragons."
[ 09:36:09 ]  [ dudeman ] "What's up wit da stihck den? Meeruhcle Ehye say you both stuhdied at da same place. She's old fahshion but...really?" Headtilt.
[ 09:40:11 ]  [ Saryx ] Saryx quirks an eyebrow at 'not fond of dragons.' "... Not even Pomf?" he inquires jokingly. "You gotta like..." Saryx stops as he hears the mental screech of tires in his head, followed by a crash. He mad now. "Do you got any idea how hard it is to scrounge up the money for any decent materials up there It's REALLY hard to find a job let alone anyone who needs help if Miracle
[ 09:40:11 ]  [ Saryx ] Eye told you anything about--" ... A pause. A lightbulb. "... Wait, you said you know Miracle Eye?!?"
[ 09:41:44 ]  [ Saryx ] It's like his eyes and his mouth suddenly just rotated on themselves~ "You know where Miracle Eye is?!?"
[ 09:41:53 ]  [ dudeman ] "I know very well. Fahmily dishowned me."
[ 09:42:31 ]  [ dudeman ] "Course I do. We founded da Moon Wahrdens."
[ 09:43:01 ]  [ dudeman ] "Name's Dahlia Von Fraenir." BORDERLANDs 2 CLOSE UP. http://imgur.com/a9meXKf She extends an arm.
[ 09:46:23 ]  [ Saryx ] "Oh, that's... That's..." And then it flips again, his mouth. She said the 'F' word. "I'm... I'm real sorry to hear about that, Miss Dahlia..." He forgoes the handshake to wrap his arms around the girl and patpat a brief moment. ... Or as close as she lets him before some horrible fate befalls him at her hands. ... Or knees.
[ 09:46:47 ]  [ Saryx ] Even though he's probably the one made more sad by her family ties being severed than she is.
[ 09:48:23 ]  ! dudeman isn't very perplexed by this. "You islahnders are vehry touhchy feehly, yah know?"
[ 09:48:50 ]  [ dudeman ] "They can sod off. Buncha old bigots."
[ 09:52:10 ]  ! Saryx removes his head from her shoulder where he planted it upon hugging to look up at her, and then his face goes red. "Oh, umm... I'm SO sorry I didn't mean it like that I was kinda really made upset by that and thought it was something sensitive and was and thought you could use some comfort please don't hurt me" is the stream of fuck that pours out from his mouth as he
[ 09:52:10 ]  ! Saryx instantly recoils back into a ball huddled up on the floor, hands raised and practically recoiling in mortal terror.
[ 09:53:12 ]  [ Saryx ] -practically recoiling +trembling
[ 09:53:22 ]  [ dudeman ] "Relax. I ain't no fiend. Well, but he is." She nods to the door.
[ 09:53:37 ]  [ dudeman ] Oh god was that Luxray always sitting there it's fucking huge.
[ 09:54:18 ]  [ Saryx ] Saryx pops open an eye and looks out the door. Needless to say, he quickly scoot scoots back as far as he can while still in turtle position until he bumps into something.
[ 09:55:11 ]  [ Saryx ] "You're telling me! He could probably eat me whole if he wanted!"
[ 09:55:41 ]  [ dudeman ] "You're an odd one, ain't ya? Come 'ere Novah." She clicks her tounge, and the Luxray walks over. She pets it under the chin and it just flops on its belly like a dog or something.
[ 09:57:49 ]  [ Saryx ] Oh, that's... That's really cute, actually! Cute enough that Saryx can overcome his fear of the thing. He inches near, hand outstretched. "... Would he mind if I...?"
[ 09:58:55 ]  [ dudeman ] "He wouldn't. Was raihsed from egg to cub by a breehder. Getting him was the entire reason I came to this region. Still just ah big kitten." She nods at your request.
[ 10:00:04 ]  [ Saryx ] A smile begins to form on his face as he drops down to one knee to pet the ginormous kitty~ He's still a little wary, but maaan does that fur look soft!
[ 10:00:51 ]  [ dudeman ] It squirms around and purrs and paws at you without clawing, it's very well mannered.
[ 10:01:22 ]  [ dudeman ] "Whaddya mean mahterials tho? You a craftsmen?"
[ 10:04:18 ]  [ Saryx ] Operation: Pet the Pretty Murderkitty is a success! That he's made contact without getting his flesh torn off lets Saryx go a bit crazier as he plays with Dahlia's pussy. ... Cat, obviously. "Un hunh! Back when I lived in Shiverwing, I was training with Dad to work in the family shop! Worked with him ever since I was in middle school!"
[ 10:06:57 ]  [ dudeman ] "Ya da, eh? Why you still wiehldin' that...thing?"
[ 10:07:43 ]  [ dudeman ] "Worse thahn mah own." You notice she's got a spear leaned against the chair next to her. It's rather basic wood and an iron head.
[ 10:09:14 ]  [ Saryx ] "I don't have the money to make anything better is why... I had to scrounge up all the spare parts I could find to make the reinforcements for the pole... And the fishing rod I kind of just found in a garbage can. ... Not really anywhere to fish in a giant desert, you know?"
[ 10:09:48 ]  [ dudeman ] "Ain't you get paid yet fo' anything?"
[ 10:13:43 ]  [ Saryx ] "I'm also sending a lot of what I made back home to my folks... Dad's business hasn't been doing too well lately, and Mom's barely getting by out in Darkfeather on her own... The fishing pole's good enough for now, though... In case you... Didn't notice." He points to the bandaging on his head. How's the Luxray holding over there?
[ 10:14:20 ]  [ dudeman ] curled in a ball on the floor purring.
[ 10:15:09 ]  [ Saryx ] 'cause Saryx paused after that, and... Well, now he's basically hugging the thing as he pets it, too. So warm~ "Novah's really got a nice coat, by the way, Miss Dahlia~"
[ 10:15:27 ]  [ dudeman ] "Darkfeather eh? Funny. I imagine whateveh got you so roughed up though - ..."
[ 10:15:43 ]  [ dudeman ] >:T
[ 10:16:32 ]  [ dudeman ] She punches you on the shoulder. "Ain't no miss. No way I that much older thahn ya."
[ 10:18:15 ]  [ Saryx ] "... What?!?" He slinks away from the Luxray as she glares daggers at--"OWWWW THAT REALLY FUCKING HURT!" ;_; He rubs his arm. "... I didn't mean any offense, M-" He stops to catch himself. "Dahlia... I'm just trying to be polite is all."
[ 10:19:57 ]  [ dudeman ] "Polite? Pht. Ain't we peers? What good that gonna do us?"
[ 10:21:26 ]  [ Saryx ] "Sorry, M... Dahlia. It's just how I was raised is all..." He has to bite his lip to stop him from saying it a second time.
[ 10:23:18 ]  [ dudeman ] She shakes her head. "Ye remind me o' someone wit dat. Ah well." She slumps in her chair some.
[ 10:23:46 ]  [ dudeman ] "Ya say ya can make somethin' worth a' damn with some cash den?"
[ 10:26:06 ]  [ Saryx ] "... Just promise me you won't hit me again if I slip on that?!?" He's definitely sounding fearful as he poses that, and repositions himself in previous kitty cuddling position. At the second question, though, he nods, quite enthused. "Yeah! I don't mean to brag, but Dad was the best blacksmith I know, and he was the one teaching me for almost half of my life~"
[ 10:28:29 ]  [ dudeman ] "Dat is xactly - oh fine." She puffs some. "Curious if ya can live up to dat. If you can make somethin' more interestin' dan dis old stick 'ere I'll compensate ya for it."
[ 10:28:36 ]  [ dudeman ] "Even pay ya up front for da materials."
[ 10:31:42 ]  [ Saryx ] Saryx' grin begins to widen. Not at the prospect of money, but just at the thought of being able to work the forge again that he hasn't gotten an opportunity proper in a long, long time. *SPROING* If the Luxray weren't already grounded he might have accidentally bowled it over as he basically goes and tacklehugs Dahlia in the chair. "Oh thank you Thank You THANK YOU Miss
[ 10:31:42 ]  [ Saryx ] Dahlia you've got no idea how happy you've made me right--" ... And then he feels what he just did to himself. "... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!"
[ 10:32:33 ]  [ dudeman ] Roll athletics~
[ 10:32:34 ]  [ Saryx ] Bonus points if he knocked the chair with Dahlia and himself in it over.
[ 10:32:38 ]  [ Saryx ] 4d6

[ 10:33:17 ]  [ dudeman ] You topple the chair over and up on top of her with a hand on her chest. "...'Opefully not -dat- happy."
[ 10:33:46 ]  [ dudeman ] Nova growls >:E
[ 10:36:50 ]  [ Saryx ] "Owww owww owww owww owww I'm so sorry Miss Dahlia I got really excited and I couldn't help myself are you okay I didn't hurt you did I--" The stream of apologies and other words continues as Saryx clenches his hand and pulls it back in an 'oh shit' reflex. ... In exactly that order. The end result, despite it not being his intention, that he accidentally squeezed her boobies.
[ 10:37:40 ]  [ dudeman ] 6d6+4
[ 10:37:41 ]  [ DiceMaid-9001 ] dudeman, 6d6+4: 24 [6d6=3,4,4,3,2,4]
[ 10:38:20 ]  [ Saryx ] Whatever that roll is, he ain't beating it.
[ 10:40:21 ]  [ dudeman ] She pushes you off and manages to pin you on the ground, then stands and plants a foot on your chest. "I dunno what compensahtion you imagined but mah affections are already set on sohmeone, an' I don't plan to be promiscuous in da meantime."
[ 10:40:28 ]  [ dudeman ] "So let's pretend dis never happened?"
[ 10:43:38 ]  [ Saryx ] Saryx' face is on goddamned fire right now and he's sweating fucking bullets and looks absolutely horrorterrorfied ready to pee himself or something. "Y-y-yes, Ma'am! I'm... I'm really sorry it-it was... It was an accident... I swear!" He sputters out, the weight pressing down upon his chest not doing anything to help him get those words out any faster.
[ 10:44:27 ]  [ Saryx ] He's at least being sincere beyond the fact that this girl could probably crush his skull in an instant if she really wanted to.
[ 10:44:53 ]  [ dudeman ] "...Oh relax it was just a tit." she sighs and helps you up.
[ 10:46:19 ]  [ dudeman ] "Ye about as shehtlered as me couhsins."
[ 10:49:40 ]  [ Saryx ] Saryx lets out a huge sigh when her foot is no longer in a position to make his poor, figuratively bleeding heart bleed literally. "... That's not the first time I've heard someone say something along those lines..." His eyes linger at the ground as if he were a kid who just got called into the principal's office for a moment before coming back up. He rolls 'em sideways just to
[ 10:49:41 ]  [ Saryx ] make sure he doesn't draw his line of sight over her rack. "... So, ummm... If I gave you the key to my room, think you could fetch my blueprints? If we're gonna make you a weapon, I wanna make it exactly the way you want, Dahlia!"
[ 10:51:50 ]  [ dudeman ] "Suppose. Will be around fo' a bit."
[ 10:52:29 ]  [ dudeman ] "We were ahssigned to look into whatever beat you up. The others went over, I preferred to meet da fresh blood."
[ 10:52:39 ]  [ dudeman ] "Didn't xpect just one o' ya to be here."
[ 10:52:59 ]  [ dudeman ] MEANWHILE AT THE DEFILED TEMPLE.
[ 10:54:12 ]  [ dudeman ] Miracle Eye and Annette are doing mystical stuff while analyzing the damage to the wilderness here as a large black, bearded man with sunglasses and a guitar over his back analyzes the pavillion.
[ 10:54:24 ]  [ dudeman ] "YUP, SURE IS A MURDER SCENE." http://i.imgur.com/YNcQZTu.jpg
[ 10:54:29 ]  [ dudeman ] BACK TO RED BLADE.
[ 10:55:24 ]  [ Saryx ] "Great!" He hobbles over to the downed chair, and pulls out the key to his room out from his pants pocket. "... Wait... I thought Chase caught that... thing..." He shudders as he recalls the last thing he saw before knocking himself out, the flaming bat outta hell, fangs ablazing and slathering with all sorts of horrid fluids, cringing in horror. Fuck. Zubats, he's probably
[ 10:55:25 ]  [ Saryx ] thinking to himself.
[ 10:56:22 ]  [ dudeman ] "Da boss said somethin' bout da woods bein' weird. Audino. We have a meetin' bout it tomorrow." She shrugs.
[ 11:02:10 ]  [ Saryx ] Saryx spins the keyring around his finger as he brings it back to Dahlia. "... Can't really say what happened after the fight... Was way too out of it after getting wrecked so badly... But it seemed like the forest was just... The whole forest just... It cried itself to death, I think... When we got in there, everyone else just choked up and lost it for no apparent reason."

[ 11:03:27 ]  [ Saryx ] "Their Pokemon, too... It was the weirdest thing!"
[ 11:07:35 ]  [ ~zoofman ] "Strange...but ain't too outa place I guess."
[ 11:08:12 ]  [ ~zoofman ] "This land is..." She seems lost on the word due to language. "very spirituahl."
[ 11:12:29 ]  [ Saryx ] "Yeah, it really is..." He nods in accord with the statement. "Mom's a Darkfeather, and a mage at that, so she's really in tune with all of that! Dad and I, though? Well, only thing folk like the Shiverwings really pray for is that the guys going out in the waters don't get eaten by killer Wailord! ... Then again, we made most of their weapons, so more we'd worry about is the
[ 11:12:29 ]  [ Saryx ] shipbuilders not sending 'em off in good boats." He lets out a little laugh. "Those guys probably think exactly backwards about us!"
[ 11:14:23 ]  [ ~zoofman ] She takes your key. "Nevah seen so many mystics n' psychics n' one place before comin' here. Darkfeather specially."
[ 11:14:36 ]  [ ~zoofman ] "Nevah been to Shiverwing. Too many dragons." She shivers like she's grossed out at the thought.
[ 11:16:20 ]  [ ~zoofman ] "Will be right back den," she leaves to retrieve your stuff for you, you cripled bastard.
[ 11:16:56 ]  [ Saryx ] "But the dragons are the only thing that make the place real exciting, Dahlia! I mean, I love living there and all, and it's real nice and peaceful, but it's real quiet a lot of--" *THUMP* Dead'd.
[ 11:19:35 ]  [ Saryx ] He probably does rest up a little bit more while waiting on Dahlia's return. Hell if he knows how far off the room is, and he's hurting even more from all his idiocy. Calls the kitty up to lay in bed with him, though :D ... If Nova complies, that is~

[ 11:21:59 ]  [ ~zoofman ] FWOMP.
[ 11:22:45 ]  [ ~zoofman ] His last coherant thought before being smothered in furr and passing out again is Dahlia returning. "Nova? NOVA!" </mini>
