  1. [00:03] <@Clarence_ST> The Overseer twists a cocky perversion of a grin on his mouth as he stands before you, arms extended in a mockery of welcome. Recently, he just threw Relain off of the plateau on which you are fighting as if he was discarding a chew toy. He has his eyes set on Shim, Soul, Gandr, and Kris; the only people worth anything here. There's Lemy too, of course, but he doesn't matter so much to Vorsh.
  2. [00:03] <@Clarence_ST> SHUT UP OR I'LL SEND THE ABYSSAL AT YOU AGAIN

  5. [00:08] <@Clarence_ST> i hate you
  6. 03[00:08] * Clarence_ST changes topic to '[Tick 6: ZN9, Relain], [Tick 7: Kris, Gandr, Soul], [Tick 8: SHim], [Tick 9: n/a], [Tick 10: Shi, Lemy, Vorsh, ZN6, ZN8, SZN10, SZN11]'
  7. 06[00:10] * Relain stumbles to his feet, coughing up a few drops of blood and observing his surroundings "Right, right, reevaluate position, new playing field..."
  8. [00:11] <@Clarence_ST> The groans of zombies start wafting from areas around Relain. The playing field has many linemen out of sight. And by linemen I mean zombies.
  9. 06[00:12] * Relain sighs, rubbing his hands and looking around for a tree "Right, outnumbered and severely outclassed in combat abillity especially in this condition, retreat is the best option, just avoid the horde until the black king falls..."
  10. [00:16] <@Clarence_ST> There's a big, thick tree a couple yards away from Relain. However, it looks completely charred, & the branches need love and care, otherwise they'd break like Relain's ribs.
  11. 06[00:17] * Relain runs for the tree, making his way up it with confidence. His enemy is defeated already, but he'll be damned if he lets this pathetic excuse for a general take his life in battle just because he has a good throwing arm. For honor's sake he must survive to see this victory. Thoughts such as these race through his head as adrenaline and determination force him further and further up the trunk.
  12. [00:23] <@Clarence_ST> AND SO RELAIN CLIMBS THE FUCK OUT OF THE 35 YARD HIGH TREE
  13. [00:24] <@Clarence_ST> unfortunately, his ribs are broke, and he never really climbed trees when he was a little boy, so climbing it will take a while
  14. [00:24] <@Clarence_ST> Especially with that zombie flying at him.
  15. [00:28] <@Clarence_ST> Which misses any vital parts, but stabs itself on a piece of Ralewyn's chest clothing with the Sai it wields! FUCK!

  17. 06[00:33] * Soul strafes right in front of the Overseer. "You know, this entire show is VERY unneccessary. If you had deferred to DISCUSSING this out, you might've found me to be a reasonable man. You mentioned a contract? I'm not one to interfere with a contract, you know..."
  18. 06[00:36] * Soul sorta shrugs like he's actually being serious. Also he's standing a bit too close for safety's sake...
  19. [00:37] <@Clarence_ST> The Overseer moves his hands slowly in a slow essence-channeling kata of readiness as he listens to Soul. "Unneccessary? Violence is the reason I came here, to end all of you. And the contract Lemy made..."
  20. [00:38] <@Clarence_ST> Overseer: "Lemy, I'm surprised at you and at myself for not remarking on this earlier. You turn your back on our masters with that mockery of flesh? It's pathetic you are still ashamed of what you are after all this time."
  21. [00:42] <@Clarence_ST> Overseer: "Do you forget what you had to do to get that face? That boy's family wept for weeks afterwards. I'm surprised you didn't find the sorrow intoxicating."
  22. [00:44] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy doesn't seem to be moving. Every single word that the Overseer uttered seemed to make a profound impact on him.
  23. [00:50] <@Clarence_ST> Of course, so did the foot that slammed him in the face moments ago.
  24. 06[00:54] * Gandr attacks - simply, harshly, brutally. He makes the styles of his ancestors proud.
  25. [00:54] <@Clarence_ST> While the overseer is distracted, GANDR THROWS A CHAIN DIRECTLY INTO HIS FACE SWEET GOD
  26. [00:56] <@Clarence_ST> The chain cracks through and unhinges the Overseer's jaw, blackened blood & gore flying from his mouth, is punched back by the recoil... Then promptly turns back and his jaw starts re-aligning, black essence folding it back together like jagged stitching. "That almost hurt."
  27. [00:57] <Soul> "
  28. [00:57] <Gandr> "I can admire an opponent who actually puts himself back together ! You usually last longer."
  29. 06[00:59] * Kris tumbles and rolls a bit from the zombie's kick. Bruised and aching, she stands, feet digging into the soft soil and whirling on her attacker, the zombie already preparing for another attack. She rushes forward, sleeves whipping around like razors as she strikes.
  30. [01:07] <@Clarence_ST> Her sleeves do more than whip like razors; they cut like razors too, cutting the Super Zombie Alligator Ninja in several pieces starting with the arm, torso, then finally the head.
  31. 06[01:09] * Kris flicks her gore-encrusted sleeves as the zombie falls apart. "Nasty."

  36. 06[01:22] * Shim grabs the neck of her gutiar and takes a step forwards, she spins once and the guitars body slams against his head. Rotating the other way it slams into his slide, a twist of the hips and a swing of the arms brings it up over her head and down onto his.
  37. [01:29] <@Clarence_ST> Shim's guitar slams the Overseer in the side of the head, and blood flies from the cracks it creates in his skull. However, he narrowly swipes the second strike away and outright grabs Shim's last attack.
  38. [01:31] <@Clarence_ST> The Overseer reins shim & her guitar close.
  39. [01:41] <@Clarence_ST> He grabs her collar, and reins her close. "Don't think the Mask of Winters doesn't know about your little commune on the island next door. We're going to have some fun with them when you're gone." he throws her directly upwards, and jumps after her.
  40. 01[01:42] <Shim> "Wheee! I'm like, flying... For reals this time, sweet."
  41. [01:43] <@Clarence_ST> Vorsh turns in mid-air and kicks Shim with a strike of emmenating nectrotic negative adjectives, sending her flying down further upstream.
  42. [01:46] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "...I think we should run."
  43. [01:47] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "Soul, try gather everyone, I know a way out of here."
  44. [01:47] <Gandr> "I think you need to man up."
  45. [01:47] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy quails from Gandr.
  46. [01:47] <Soul> "YOU think? YOU think we should run? You could have thought of that a long TIME ago. BEFORE you brought us here to this trap. No. You are going to help defend against this...thing, or you are going to die."
  47. 06[01:49] * Kris winces. "Soul is right, we either fight or we die."
  48. [01:50] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "Soul. Kris. This is lunacy."
  49. [01:51] <Soul> "DO YOUR JOB. We will discuss your...continued service, AFTERwards, and your actions now will affect my judgment in that regard."
  50. 06[01:51] * Kris grimaces. "Look, we don't have a choice, none of us can get away fast enough to save Relain or find Shim. He will chase us, and he'll catch us. Our only chance is to hurt him enough to get away, or kill him outright."
  51. [01:52] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "You can either stay here and die, or we can run and fight another day. I am NOT looking forward to going back underworld..." Lemy sighs. "Alright, looks like i'm going to have to take Gandr's advice."

  64. [01:54] <Gandr> "I'm not saying you should be brave, Lemy. I'm saying that there are more important things to do right now than pissing your pants and running away like a sissy."
  65. [01:57] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy summons a large, ornate black bow from nothingness with the howling sound of tormented souls, and pulls the bowstring.
  66. [01:59] <Gandr> "Didn't mention you could do that, Lemy."
  67. [01:59] <Soul> "Lotta things you didn't mention."
  68. [02:00] <Gandr> "Now's not the time for baseless accusations and angry outbursts. Now's the time for anger management."
  69. [02:00] <Kris> "Yeah.:
  70. 06[02:01] * Soul rolls his eyes. "Very well, but I will have a lot to say when this is all OVER."
  71. [02:01] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "Can it."
  72. [02:02] <Soul> "Don't presume to order me around."
  73. 06[02:02] * Soul is VERY annoyed in his voice at the moment, and is not likely to take any more remarks of such nature well
  74. [02:05] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "You two, calm down. We have a Deathknight to take care of."
  75. [02:06] <@Clarence_ST> Shi brings two flamepieces behind him and scorches a few zombies trying to make their way up.
  76. 06[02:07] * Soul snorts at Shi speaking up, disgust and disdain in his doing so
  77. [02:08] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy lets loose his arrow, and it shoots directly at the Overseer, who slaps it away. "Turning your bow against a comrade, Lemy? You really don't care about anything, do you?"
  78. 06[02:10] * Soul mutters a lot as he charges the Overseer. "Want something done right...Hey, you! I'm not done talking to you yet." He slices across the Overseer JUST as he finishes turning around to face Soul.
  79. 06[02:12] * Soul whiffs at the empty air because he couldn't properly take in to account the aerodynamics of an Abyssal falling through the air
  80. 03[02:13] * Clarence_ST changes topic to '[Tick 11: ZN9,RelainStillClimbing], [Tick 12: Kris, Gandr, Shim, Vorsh,] [Tick 15: Soul] [Tick 16: Lemy, Shi]'
  81. [02:26] <Relain> "Right... fleeing no longer an option, pawns have caught up, tree will run out of space... Enemy strategist formidable combatant... No option left for survival."
  82. 06[02:26] * Relain shuts his eyes, thinking carefully "Only option left is... Take the king." He grimaces
  83. 06[02:26] * Relain begins chanting, unholstering his flamepiece shakily and pointing it at that spinning wretch in the sky, lowly intoning "Take the king, take the king, take the king, take the king, take the king..." as he works up his nerve
  84. 06[02:26] * Relain suddenly as the beast below him is about to sink its teeth into his foot he kicks it in the jaw, resting his feet on its face and shoulder and bending his legs, then extending them in a great leap forward towards the cliff
  85. 06[02:26] * Relain pulls the trigger as a shockwave seems to reverberate through the entire forest. Off in the distance, a flock of crows take flight as he screams in the voice of a mad demon "TAKE THE KIIIIIINNNNNNNG!!!!" (5 wp, +5 sux)
  86. [02:35] <@Clarence_ST> The Overseer does NOT expect a mortal to be jumping out of the trees yelling about King Taker, and setting him ON FIRE. His flesh singes and catches on fire as he lets loose a howl of agony. Relain starts falling to his doom again, his sacrifice all but for vain. UNLESS...
  87. [02:35] <Kris> "Oh Shit! Relain!"
  88. 01[02:39] <@Shim> The sound of the softest, most psychodelic chords you've ever heard ring out throughout the shadowland. Off in the distance golden essence explodes from the ground high up into the air, a mushroom cloud in the shape of a daisy. It fires small stemless flowers made of glowing essence, they float downwards in all directions.
  89. 01[02:39] <@Shim> They're golden and leave a trail of sparkles after them, they plant down on creatures of darkness, burning holes through their necrotic souls. You're not sure, but you think you can see an S.O.S. blown in pot smoke halfway up the ploom.
  90. [02:43] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy shields himself from the smoke, then quickly makes his weapon disappear. His essence seems to shift and reverse as the caste mark of the Twilight caste shines from his forhead in the golden light of the lawgivers.
  91. [02:45] <@Clarence_ST> The Overseer's flame is completely put out, but the smoke & essence burns into his skin.
  92. [02:45] <@Clarence_ST> All the zombies burst into dead.
  93. 06[02:45] * Kris cheers Shim on!
  94. [02:46] <@Clarence_ST> KRIS SHOULD BEST BE REMINDED THAT RELAIN IS FALLING TO HIS DOOM
  95. 06[02:47] * Gandr sparkles.
  96. 06[02:49] * Kris tracks Relain's trip through the air after the beautiful, gutsy shot he made. She spies a propped up log and dashes along it, the slime and moss not impeeding her in the least. At the edge of the log she coils and jumps! aiming to intercept him in midair!
  97. 06[02:52] * Kris reaches Relain but her jump wasn't enough to get a good grip on him. She meets him in midair and braces her feet against his back. "This might hurt a bit..." With a great heave, she pushes off of him like a springboard in mid air, arcing into a graceful flip down, towards the very same tree Relain climbed to get here. She aims for one of the thicker branches...
  98. 06[02:54] * Kris nods to herself, her kick sent Relain back over the plateau, to a much softer fall in the mud of the riverbank, now for her own survival...
  99. [02:57] <@Clarence_ST> She catches herself fine on some strong-ish branches.
  100. [02:57] <Kris> "Whew."
  101. 03[02:58] * Clarence_ST changes topic to '[Tick 12: Gandr, ] [Tick 15: Soul] [Tick 16: Lemy, Shi, Kris] [Tick 17: Relain, Vorsh] [Tick 18: Shim]'
  102. 06[02:59] * Gandr flexes into a low crouch; his entire body a coiled spring. He unfurls with a furious roar of barely-suppressed rage, sending his chain in a wide arc toward the ne'erdowell, rotating on the spot to provide his weapon with the force it needs to deliver the justice of the forever-shining Unconquered Sun.
  103. [03:05] <@Clarence_ST> The chain spears the Overseer through the side of his gut, and coils around on the outside of the Overseer, more and more wounds being made & remade as the snake-chain travells through the Overseer, like the Overseer was a desert and the chain was a sand wyrm. The chain-snake finally retracts, and smacks the Overseer into the river with a large splash.
  104. [03:06] <@Clarence_ST> Nothing could possibly escape from the alligator/log/flotsam/jetsam-congested swamp river if it's submerged.
  105. [03:06] <Gandr> "You can't win this fight, abomination ! You should have MADE THAT CONNECTION WHEN WE STARTED FIGHTING !"
  106. [03:06] <Gandr> "Come back and fight like an undead man-thing !"
  107. [03:06] <Gandr> "Come back and get what you've got going !"
  108. [03:06] <Gandr> "... please come back !"
  109. [03:07] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "I don't think he can hear you."
  110. [03:07] <Gandr> "But I can."
  111. [03:07] <Gandr> "And I'm still pretty pissed."
  112. [03:07] <Soul> "...all right, is he dead, or...?"
  113. [03:07] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "He seems pretty dead to me."
  114. [03:08] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy rushes over to the edge of the plateau and just watches the stream flow down.
  115. 06[03:08] * Relain claws at the ground, shaking violently "I... I LIVE..."
  116. 01[03:09] <@Shim> Theres still a smoking SOS in the air, and an essence daisy floating above the battle zone.
  117. 06[03:09] * Relain pounds his fist against the soil, slumping down
  118. [03:09] <Soul> "He doesn't seem like the kind of person who'll stay dead just by falling into a river..."
  119. [03:09] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "But... for the time being, he's gone."
  120. [03:09] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy turns around, and plucks the Broc Flower.
  121. [03:10] <@Clarence_ST> "And this, has been completely untouched."
  122. 06[03:10] * Kris jumps from the tree back to the plateau.
  123. 06[03:10] * Soul snatches it out of Lemy's hands. "Until YOU grabbed it."
  124. [03:10] <Kris> "The seeds should be fine, Soul, we just need to get it out of this shadowland."
  125. 06[03:11] * Soul mutters. "Yes, we should leave at once...but once we do..."
  126. [03:11] <Gandr> "We also need to go get Shimmer."
  127. [03:11] <Gandr> "she seems to, ah, have hunkered down."
  128. 06[03:12] * Relain stumbles to his feet, shakily brushing his robes off, apparently stuck on an adrenaline high, he then looks around quickly and then gazes down the river "VICTORY IS MINE, WRETCH!!!"
  129. 06[03:12] * Gandr puts a hand on Relain's shoulder.
  130. [03:12] <Gandr> "Don't forget ...
  131. [03:13] <Gandr> "Everyone here could tear your arm off of the socket without effort."
  132. 06[03:13] * Gandr smiles.
  133. [03:13] <Soul> "Don't, you know who'd have to put it back on."
  134. 06[03:13] * Relain lets out a deep breath he's been holding in apparently for some time, wavering "I-I know, I know. I know I know I know."
  135. 06[03:13] * Gandr takes his hand off and continues smiling.
  136. [03:13] <Gandr> "But, y'know ... you did good."
  137. [03:14] <Gandr> "I mean ... all things considered."
  138. 06[03:14] * Relain slaps himself in the cheek once, wiping his face to try and gather his composure "I... Really didn't know I had that in me."
  139. [03:14] <Kris> "Yeah! That was great!"
  140. 01[03:14] <@Shim> The hippie petals fade and so does the giant daisy, but the smoke stays.
  141. 06[03:14] * Gandr looks a bit sideways at Relain.
  142. [03:14] <Gandr> "Not in you ?"
  143. 06[03:14] * Kris walks over to the group, wincing a bit and holding her side.
  144. [03:14] <Gandr> "The Unconquered Sun knows that you DO have it in you, and always have."
  145. [03:14] <Relain> "I'm a bloody card game player not an acrobat."
  146. [03:14] <Gandr> "It's all there. You just need to believe in the UCS."
  147. [03:15] <Relain> "Cards, boards, gambling, etcetera."
  148. [03:15] <Relain> "...Maybe there's something to him."
  149. [03:15] <Gandr> "Well to be fair you didn't ACTUALLY make the jump."
  150. [03:15] <Kris> "This is a wonderful male bonding moment, but we really need to get out of this shadowland before nightfall."
  151. [03:15] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "Agreed."
  152. 06[03:15] * Relain looks around, eyeing the smoke "Is that from Miss Moonbeam?"
  153. [03:15] <Gandr> "Yeah."
  154. [03:15] <Kris> "I think so."
  155. 06[03:15] * Soul has already been walking out while you lollygags were lolygagging
  156. [03:15] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "Back to my place?"
  157. [03:15] <Gandr> "We should probably go get her.
  158. [03:15] <Gandr> "
  159. [03:16] <Kris> "Yeah, lets, and that sounds like a plan, Shi."
  160. [03:16] <Gandr> "Hold on."
  161. [03:16] <Soul> "We have MUCH to discuss, DOCTOR."
  162. [03:16] <Gandr> "Please make sure you've got everything you need.
  163. [03:16] <Gandr> "
  164. [03:16] <Gandr> "all the plants, seeds, roots, vines, whatever."
  165. [03:16] <Soul> ("DOCTOR" said ala TF2 Spy")
  166. 06[03:16] * Relain starts heading for Shim
  167. [03:16] <Gandr> "I don't want to hav to come BACK here."
  168. [03:17] <@Clarence_ST> AND SO YOU HAVE THE BROC FLOWER
  169. [03:17] <@Clarence_ST> TIME PASSES
  170. [03:17] <Soul> (Assuming timewarp to Shi's place)
  171. [03:18] <@Clarence_ST> YOU ARE ALL SITTING IN SHI'S PLACE, WHERE IT IS VERY, VERY PURPLE. IT IS CURRENTLY THE EVENING, STARS & THE MOON SHINE THROUGH THE WINDOW TO HELP THE CANDLES ILLUMINATE THE AREA.
  172. 06[03:18] * Soul is not sitting down, instead pacing back and forth, most visibly displeased
  173. 06[03:19] * @Shim is holding her side, "I think I like, bruised my lasagne."
  174. 06[03:19] * Kris is also holding her side. Wincing a bit. "Me too."
  175. 06[03:19] * Relain is slumped into his chair, staring at the ceiling "I won."
  176. [03:21] <Gandr> "What's lasagna ?"
  177. 06[03:21] * Gandr worries about lasagna as some sort of important organ.
  178. 01[03:23] <@Shim> "It's like, right here." She lifts up her shirt to show a massive bruise on her side. "See?"
  179. [03:23] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy visibly tries to hold everything together. "Alright... So, uh, well done guys, we got the Broc Flower. And none of us died." His speech practically exhumes awkwardness.
  180. [03:23] <Soul> "Yes, yes, well done! We managed to avoid anyone DYING despite being LED RIGHT INTO A TRAP!"
  181. 06[03:23] * Soul starts to grow threatening in his inflection
  182. [03:24] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy falls silent.
  183. 06[03:24] * Relain glances over at Shim and her wound, and it all comes back to him that one of his ribs are quite possibly fractured as he clutches his chest "Aaaarrrghhhh..."
  184. 06[03:24] * Gandr looks curiously at Shimmer's bruise. "That's the lasagna ?"
  185. [03:24] <Soul> "Hm?! Well?! When did you plan on telling us that you were leading us to that friend of yours?"
  186. 06[03:24] * @Shim nods.
  187. 06[03:25] * Soul is yelling at this point, so presumably the others are getting annoyed that he's talking over their lasagna discussion
  188. [03:25] <@Clarence_ST> "I... I wasn't..."
  189. [03:25] <@Clarence_ST> "I-I mean..."
  190. [03:25] <@Clarence_ST> "I didn't think..."
  191. 06[03:25] * @Shim gets up and stretches, seemingly ignoring her wounds. She then stands beside Relain and pokes his arm, "You're not like, dead, right?"
  192. [03:25] <Soul> "Wasn't what?! What else should I assume you've been lying about?!"

  201. 03[03:27] * Set by Clarence_ST on Sun Jun 07 02:57:21
  202. 06[03:27] * Soul just grits his teeth at Lemy's cowardly retreat. "And you! DOCTOR. How much of this did you KNOW?!"
  203. 06[03:28] * Gandr doesn't like all this "what if you were the you-know-what when the where we went and then the you betrayed us" thing.
  204. [03:28] <@Clarence_ST> Shi looks into Soul's eyes. "I didn't know anything about this."
  205. [03:29] <Soul> "...Swear to me? As a fellow healer?"
  206. 06[03:29] * Relain turns to Kris while the people who aren't half dead are being dramatic "Oh hey... Thanks for the boost."
  207. 06[03:29] * Relain coughs up another speck of blood or two
  208. [03:30] <@Clarence_ST> Shi raises his eyebrows. "Swear to you? I'm sorry your majesty, but you and what army? If I say I don't know anything about it, I don't know anything about it."
  209. 06[03:30] * Kris smiles and gives a small wave. "Not a problem... I must admit, that was probably the first... Serious fight I've been in."
  210. [03:30] <Soul> "I just wanted to be sure I could trust you. Right now my trust is a little SHAKEN, as I would hope would be obvious.:"
  211. 06[03:30] * Shim nods, "Good, cause like, dying isn't good. You can't sleep that off, y'know." She pokes him again, "You need to like, stay alive better. Stick with me."
  212. 06[03:31] * Relain nods a bit, staring back at the ceiling "Arrite."
  213. [03:31] <Gandr> "Yeah. Shimmer knows her lasagnas from her lungs."
  214. 06[03:32] * Shim points to Gandr as if to say, "CAHRECT GOOD SIR." and nods to Relain.
  215. [03:33] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "Demanding that I swear to you in my own house and home is no way to re-affirm any sort of trust, Soul. You're panicing, and being unprofessional."
  216. [03:34] <Soul> "...where is Chei."
  217. [03:34] <@Clarence_ST> Chei stumbles in, obviously drunk.
  218. 06[03:34] * Relain gets up with some effort,moving towards Lemy with an obvious limp "Look, maybe this could be solved if you were to just explain yourself some..."
  219. [03:34] <@Clarence_ST> Chei mutters some kind of greeting(?), waves at Shi, then collapses.
  220. [03:35] <Soul> "...can't hold his liquor, as usual. I guess I'm going to have to watch his liquor intake from now on as well."
  221. 06[03:35] * Soul is just plain annoyed at this point
  222. [03:35] <Relain> "You're some kind of... Bad sort of anathema now, or something?"
  223. 06[03:35] * Shim props the squishy mortal up with her guitar, like a crutch.
  224. [03:35] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy shirks away from Relain.
  225. 06[03:36] * Soul turns to the other members of the group. "All right, listen up. We've gotten what we came for, as far as I'm concerned there's nothing left for us here. We leave tomorrow at dawn's break, so get rested now."
  226. [03:36] <Soul> "I'd consult our leader, here, but..."
  227. 06[03:36] * Soul kneels down and points to the drunken Chei
  228. [03:37] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "Kris, what do you think about his situation?"
  229. [03:37] <Kris> "Chei's?"
  230. [03:37] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "...Not Chei's."
  231. [03:39] <Kris> "Sorry, I'm kinda out of it, achey..." She hmms for a moment. "Well, as far as Lemy is concerned, He seems... OK. Soul is right, there's been a breach of trust, but actions speak louder than words. He DID help us."
  232. [03:40] <Kris> "Shim, what do you think?"
  233. 01[03:40] <Shim> "We got our things to do our thing. Now like, the way I see it is his thing is a bad thing but him trying to do his thing is a good thing, so if we do our thing with our things and each do our thing we could leave him and his things to do his thing."
  234. [03:40] <Soul> "He only helped us AFTER leading us into that very trap which we could have suffered far greater losses. And we now know that he's...some...thing...part of something that's conspiring against us. We can't trust him. Just having him WITH us is a threat."
  235. [03:41] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy mutters something.
  236. [03:41] <Relain> "Listen... I can't really tell what the others think of you, but as far as I'm concerned whatever you are hasn't seemed to have changed you as a person, and you certainly aren't a zombie, so it's a good thing. We just want to know what's happened, I want you to be able to defend yourself better than stammering, and to do that you'll need to tell us what's going on."
  237. [03:42] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy glances over to Relain, and hesitates.
  238. [03:42] <Soul> "...it WOULD be nice if you explained yourself."
  239. [03:43] <Kris> "Soul! You screaming at him isn't going to make him talk any faster."
  240. 06[03:43] * Soul wasn't really screaming that time, stupid woman
  241. 06[03:43] * Soul WAS pretty condescending in his tone of voice that time, though
  242. [03:44] <@Clarence_ST> "I'm sorry that I led you into a trap. I didn't want to do it. I don't want to hurt you, I didn't want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt anyone."
  243. [03:44] <Soul> "Then why didn't you TELL us anything?!"
  244. 06[03:44] * Relain sets a hand on Lemy's shoulder, nearly stumbling over his limp and looking him in the eye "I know you didn't."
  245. [03:44] <Relain> "And to prevent other people from getting hurt we need to know the truth."
  246. [03:44] <Relain> "The /whole/ truth."
  247. 06[03:45] * Kris nods
  248. [03:45] <Soul> "And nothing BUT the truth, so help me..."
  249. 01[03:45] <Shim> "And nothing but the... Wait, no, nevermind."
  250. 06[03:45] * Kris snickers
  251. 06[03:46] * Relain nods at Lemy, turning to Soul "If he's going to tell us you're going to need to quiet yourself, I'm sorry."
  252. 06[03:46] * Soul clenches his fist, not at Lemy, but at Relain
  253. 06[03:46] * Soul bites his lip, though
  254. 06[03:47] * Relain nods back at Lemy "Please."
  255. [03:48] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy turns back around, still sitting with his knees up close to him. He takes a breath and rubs his eye.
  256. [03:48] <@Clarence_ST> "Well... uh... what do you want me to tell you?"
  257. [03:49] <Relain> "Well... Start at how you came to be anathema, I suppose?"
  258. [03:49] <Relain> "What associates you with the wretch?"
  259. 01[03:49] <Shim> "Hey, man, thats like, our word. You can't say that."
  260. 06[03:49] * Gandr is not at all at ease.
  261. [03:49] <Relain> "Which word?"
  262. [03:50] <Gandr> "All of them ?"
  263. 01[03:50] <Shim> "Anathema. That's /our/ word, dawg."
  264. [03:50] <Soul> "Rel, if you call any of us 'anathema' one more time, even joking...I'm going to kill you."
  265. [03:50] <Soul> "And I'll do it entirely using mundane means, just to be ironic."
  266. 06[03:50] * Relain looks confused "What am I supposed to call you people?"
  267. 01[03:51] <Shim> "My anathema up in the corner gets this." She points to Soul, extending a brofist.
  268. [03:51] <Kris> "Celestial Exalted, Solars."
  269. [03:51] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy glares at Soul.
  270. [03:51] <@Clarence_ST> "Well..."
  271. 06[03:51] * Relain shrugs, pointing at Lemy "Is he a solar?"
  272. [03:51] <Kris> "I'm a Zenith Caste. Gandr's a Dawn Caste, Shim is also a Zenith, Soul is a Twilight Caste."
  273. [03:52] <Soul> "He seems to also be a Twilight, but...dark...corrupted somehow..."
  274. 06[03:52] * Relain nods, turning back to Lemy "Alright, sorry, please continue."
  275. [03:52] <Soul> "Although apparently not as corrupted as our Overseer friend..."
  276. [03:52] <Kris> "He's... Something else, not a Dragon-blooded, he had a caste mark like Soul's, just Black."
  277. 03[03:52] * Yomu (porgon@sux-CA5B426D.dsl.stlsmo.swbell.net) has joined #clarencexaltedic
  278. [03:52] <@Clarence_ST> Shi holds up his hand.
  279. [03:53] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "Would this be a bad time to say that one of my associates is coming to visit?"
  280. [03:53] <Soul> "YES IT WOUND."
  281. [03:53] <Soul> *WOULD*
  282. [03:53] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "I only just remembered we had organised a get-together."
  283. 03[03:53] * Yomu is now known as Faye
  284. [03:55] <@Clarence_ST> "Be warned, he's a little excitable."
  285. [03:55] <Gandr> "exciteable how ?"
  286. [03:56] <Gandr> "Are we going into ANOTHER kick-down drag-out fight ?"
  287. [03:56] <@Clarence_ST> "He... kinda wants to be like his favourite rock star."
  288. 06[03:56] * Faye from somewhere outside "sshhhhiiiiIIIIIIII" as he runs into the room and tackles Shi onto the floor.
  289. [03:56] <Soul> "Rock Star...Another friend of yours, Shim?"
  290. [03:56] <Gandr> "Oh. I know what that is."
  291. 06[03:56] * Gandr doesn't know what a rock star is.
  292. [03:56] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "KLURGHN"
  293. 06[03:56] * Gandr some sort of ... moon ... rock ... sun ... thing ?
  294. 06[03:56] * Relain covers his face with his arms, cringing "DRAGONS DAMN IT NOT ANOTHER ONE"
  295. [03:56] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy giggles at this.
  296. 06[03:57] * Shim nods to Soul, "Maybe I know him."
  297. [03:57] <Faye> "It's been too long!" completly oblivious to the others in the room, starts to hug around Shi "Really, Really, Really too long!"
  298. [03:57] <@Clarence_ST> Shi almost chokes. "It has, Faye, it has... Now could you let go for a second? I need air to live."
  299. 06[03:58] * Faye sits up and pays attention for a brief moment. "Sorry, so who are these people?"
  300. [03:58] <@Clarence_ST> "Sorry, I didn't think that many things were going to happen recently. We're going to have to postpone our get-together. But you're welcome to stay here as much as you like."
  301. [03:59] <@Clarence_ST> "These people... They're pretty much the reason my shedule has broken down and cried itself to sleep."
  302. [03:59] <@Clarence_ST> He says this with a smile.
  303. 06[03:59] * Shim waves.
  304. [03:59] <@Clarence_ST> "You remember that plague that was going around? I've requested these people come and assist me in the endeavor of finding a cure."
  305. [03:59] <Faye> "ahaaaa"
  306. 02[04:01] * Relain (Ralewyn@sux-C30920A4.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: )
  307. [04:01] <@Clarence_ST> "but things have... complicated."
  308. [04:01] <@Clarence_ST> "Tremendously."
  309. 06[04:01] * Faye can't help but grin at this - "how so shishi?"
  310. [04:01] <@Clarence_ST> Shi points to everyone in quick succession. "Gandr, Kris, Shim, and Soul are all Exalted."
  311. 06[04:02] * Faye gasps, putting hand to mouth. "no way!"
  312. [04:02] <@Clarence_ST> "And I recently learnt that Lemy is an Exalt too."
  313. [04:02] <Faye> "but ... that ... that ..."
  314. [04:02] <@Clarence_ST> "And they're not Dragonbloods, either."
  315. [04:03] <Faye> "THAT ... THAT...."
  316. [04:03] <Gandr> "We pull arms out of sockets."
  317. 06[04:03] * Gandr deadpans the joke.
  318. [04:03] <Kris> "Well. Gandr does. When he loses."
  319. 06[04:04] * Faye stands up, looking at the exalted infront of him, then run forwards and tackles Soul. "IS AWESOME"
  320. [04:04] <Gandr> "Which is why my arm-to-socket ratio is zero."
  321. [04:04] <Kris> "I just shake my hips so hard, everybody stops thnking and listens to me."
  322. [04:04] <Soul> "Ow! Get off me."
  323. 06[04:04] * Soul shoves Faye off
  324. 06[04:04] * Faye is shoved off, instead going to cling to Kris.
  325. 06[04:04] * Soul brushes himself off. "I'm a doctor, not a combat dummy."
  326. [04:04] <Gandr> "You can be both."
  327. 01[04:04] <Shim> "I... I am not like, sure where I am. But it's coo'."
  328. 06[04:04] * Kris is clung to. "Uhm... Hi?'
  329. [04:05] <Faye> "Helooooo~"
  330. [04:05] <@Clarence_ST> "Calm down, Faye."
  331. [04:06] <Faye> "but, but - a entire room full - and you're just - oh right the plauge." on that sits down to pay attention.
  332. 06[04:06] * Kris very carefully extracts herself from Faye's grip.
  333. 06[04:07] * Gandr glances at Shi - 'is this kid for real ?'.
  334. [04:08] <@Clarence_ST> Shi nods at Gandr. "So, as we were... Lemy, you were saying?"
  335. [04:08] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "Are you sure it's okay with... Him here too?"
  336. [04:08] <@Clarence_ST> Shi makes a motion with his hands "Oh, it's fine."
  337. [04:08] <Gandr> "Well he already knows we're big bad anathema.
  338. [04:08] <Gandr> "
  339. 06[04:09] * Faye sits there smileing, pretending they're not talking about him.
  340. [04:09] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "So... When I exalted, when I exalted..."
  341. 03[04:10] * SombreroChapeau (ChapeauSom@sux-8C939A62.bltmmd.fios.verizon.net) has joined #clarencexaltedic
  342. [04:10] <@Clarence_ST> "...I exalted after my unit & I were slain in battle." he leans back and looks up.
  343. [04:11] <@Clarence_ST> "A... fair time ago. Kaira, Vorsh, Toru, Yumi, Mize, and I... We were attacked to a dragonblooded commander, going after some crazed Thaumaturge who was going to be making contracts with demons."
  344. 06[04:11] * Faye gives a somewhat insane grin, takeing out a piece of paper from his pocket and takeing a ton of notes.
  345. 06[04:12] * Kris listens intently
  346. 06[04:12] * Gandr pays attention.
  347. [04:13] <@Clarence_ST> "Apparently, some other dragonbloods and some anathema were related... They seemed feral, animalistic, but very, very powerful. And they all made contracts with Demons."
  348. [04:14] <@Clarence_ST> "Something about the Dark Beast Fist... I can't remember anything past the first few seconds of frenzied panic."
  349. [04:14] <@Clarence_ST> "And then we were slain. We were caught completely off guard."
  350. [04:14] <@Clarence_ST> "Our commander, Toru, Yumi, and Mize all went through the natural process of reincarnation..."
  351. 06[04:15] * Faye stands up, pumping fist into the air "THEN SET YOUR SOUL ON FIIRREEEE" ... he blinks, then sits down muttering "sorry"
  352. [04:15] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy is caught COMPLETELY off guard.
  353. [04:16] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy shakes his head, and continues. "But... But my best friends, Vorsh, Kaira, and I were held inbetween the void between death & life. It felt like an eternity."
  354. [04:16] <Gandr> "So you're saying there's THREE of you ?"
  355. [04:17] <@Clarence_ST> "Well..."
  356. [04:18] <@Clarence_ST> "I..."
  357. [04:18] <@Clarence_ST> "I didn't even say what happened yet."
  358. [04:18] <Kris> "Let him continue, Gandr."
  359. [04:18] <@Clarence_ST> "I... don't really like being interrupted unless it's really necessary, sorry." he glances to Gandr and Faye.
  360. 06[04:19] * Faye rubs the back of his head, seems to be working on sheet music.
  361. [04:19] <@Clarence_ST> he takes a deep breath. "Well... It seemed like an eternity."
  362. [04:19] <@Clarence_ST> "But then at the end of that eternal wait, came a voice."
  363. [04:19] <@Clarence_ST> "It promised us life again."
  364. [04:20] <@Clarence_ST> "It promised us power."
  365. [04:20] <@Clarence_ST> "It promised us a second chance."
  366. [04:21] <@Clarence_ST> "And... in our desperation, we took it. And awoke in the underworld."
  367. [04:21] <@Clarence_ST> "I felt it was like a chance to be with Kaira & Vorsh again..."
  368. [04:22] <@Clarence_ST> "But..."
  369. [04:22] <@Clarence_ST> "As part of the contract, we had to be servants of death & destruction."
  370. 06[04:23] * Soul coughs a little
  371. [04:23] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy almost twitches at Soul's rudeness. "Kaira & Vorsh accepted that part as if it was second nature, but it never really rested well with me."
  372. [04:23] <Soul> "...Lemy..."
  373. 06[04:24] * Soul shakes his head. "Lemy, Lemy, Lemy..."
  374. 06[04:24] * Soul steps forward a little. "You're telling us that you made a CONTRACT to be destroyers? To be agents of death? That you made a CONTRACT with the underworld?!"
  375. 06[04:25] * Faye blinks and looks up to soul - writeing note on the sheet music "easy on the death metal"
  376. [04:25] <Soul> "Eh? I didn't say anything about soulsteel."
  377. [04:25] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy steps up. "So what if I did!? I couldn't stand the thought of being torn away from my friends!"
  378. [04:25] <@Clarence_ST> "They were practically my family."
  379. 06[04:25] * Soul can't hear it, but everyone else can hear the faint sound of a drumset and cymbals in the background
  380. [04:26] <Soul> "Lemy, Lemy, Lemy...you don't understand. You signed a CONTRACT."
  381. [04:26] <@Clarence_ST> "I don't WANT to be part of that contract anymore."
  382. [04:27] <Soul> "I work for the Guild. I grew up with the Guild. And if there is one thing life in Nexus, life working for the Guild has taught me...it's that Contracts are BINDING for a REASON. If we can just go back on contracts we don't like, then the world falls apart."
  383. [04:27] <@Clarence_ST> "Even someone as stubborn as you can see that."
  384. [04:27] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy bites his lip and frowns.
  385. [04:28] <Soul> "I can't respect a person who's WILLING to sow death and decay, true. But I also can't abide by a person who would so easily break the bonds that they would forge. For whatever reason..."
  386. [04:28] <Soul> "...is what I would SAY..."
  387. [04:28] <Soul> "...except...well...lemme tell you a little about Contract law..."
  388. 06[04:28] * Soul crouches down a little
  389. [04:29] <@Clarence_ST> "SOUL, I don't give TWO FUCKING SHITS what your stupid Guild upbringing tells you."
  390. 06[04:29] * Soul stops midsentence
  391. [04:29] <Soul> "...well, I was going to offer to HELP you, but if you're just going to be that way, then..."
  392. [04:29] <Gandr> "I don't get it. A contract's just a piece of paper wit some scrip on it. What's it got to do with giving your word, like an honourable warrior ?"
  393. [04:29] <@Clarence_ST> "You can take your Contract Law and shove it up your ass."
  394. [04:30] <Kris> "It's proof that the word was given, Gandr, that's important for legalities. Not as much for Honor."
  395. [04:30] <@Clarence_ST> Shi is taken aback.
  396. 06[04:30] * Soul stands up again. "I was willing to help. Let it never be said I wasn't offering help here."
  397. 06[04:30] * Soul throws up his hands in surrender.
  398. 01[04:30] <Shim> "It's like, your word, in words."
  399. [04:30] <Gandr> "But why would you need proof ? If I give you my word, /I've given you my word."
  400. [04:30] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "Lemy, calm down."
  401. [04:30] <Kris> "I'll explain later, Gandr."
  402. 06[04:30] * Gandr The whole "my word" deal seems very important to Gandr. He's a bit agitated.
  403. [04:31] <Gandr> "Mmmh."
  404. [04:31] <Gandr> "Allright."
  405. [04:31] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "I WAS calm until SOUL started rattling off about the fucking Guild, the fucking Contracts, the fucking... fucking... FUCK."
  406. [04:31] <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "Calm. Down. He just said he was going to help you."
  407. [04:31] <Kris> "Soul, you claim to have a way to get around a contract from the /Underworld/?"
  408. [04:31] <Soul> "...well, I guess THAT settles it. Forget about helping you out, then."
  409. 06[04:32] * Soul shrugs and goes over to Relain, kicking him in the side gently
  410. [04:32] <Faye> "you know, contracts usually have some sort of built-in end to them." strumming lightly on a guitar, don't ask where he got it from.
  411. [04:32] <Faye> "like, play at this avenue untill this date or this many concerts."
  412. [04:32] <Soul> (suddenly Shim realizes she's guitarless)
  413. 01[04:32] <Shim> (He couldn't play my guitar~)
  414. [04:32] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "Faye, the contract runs out when creation is destroyed."
  415. [04:33] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "That's why I want OUT of it."
  416. 06[04:33] * Faye takes the pick from his neck, thinking it over, playing on the exalted guitar with his exalted pick.
  417. [04:33] <Soul> "But you're sure you don't want my help in getting out of it."
  418. [04:33] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy starts walking around the room, trying to find somewhere to sit
  419. 06[04:33] * Soul says that over his shoulder
  420. 01[04:34] <Shim> "Y'know, I think like, if he died he gets to be angry. I know, if I was like, dead I'd wake up pretty pissed."
  421. [04:35] <Kris> "Forgive me, Lemy, but do you have a name for whatever it is you are?"
  422. [04:36] <@Clarence_ST> "DEATHKNIGHTS!"
  423. [04:36] <@Clarence_ST> Lemy obviously put much effort into that.
  424. 06[04:36] * Faye stares in awe.
  425. [04:36] <@Clarence_ST> He seems to be running out of gas, and calming down.
  426. 06[04:37] * Faye scrambles to find the piece of paper to write that down.
  427. 06[04:37] * Kris is blown off her chair by the shout. "A-Alright..." She laughs weakly
  428. 06[04:37] * Shim looks to Lemy and nods.
  429. <Gandr> "So."
  430. <Gandr> "How many death knights are there ?"
  431. <Soul> "Well, if the boy doesn't want my help then we can't help him."
  432. <Faye> "Soul, stop being such a buzz-kill" stumming on the guitar
  433. <@Clarence_ST> Shi: "You're not helping anyone by saying that, Soul."
  434. <Soul> "I'm the de facto team leader while our contact is drunk, if only on account of my profession."
  435. <Soul> "And I say, there's nothing more here for us."
  436. <Gandr> "There IS."
  437. * Faye stands up. "De Facto Team Leader?! You're a EXALT. You should be doing things to be awesome and shit - no being broody because someone yelled at you!"
  438. * Gandr is all srs bsns suddenly.
  439. * Kris perks up.
  440. <Gandr> "Lemy has at some point agreed to destroy everything.
  441. <Gandr> "
  442. <Soul> "Well, I'd consider finding a cure to this plague pretty 'awesome'..."
  443. <Gandr> "Forever."
  444. * Shim plays her guitar quietly in the background~
  445. <Gandr> "We need to deal with that."
  446. <Gandr> "We can either take him with us, and try to do something about that."
  447. <Gandr> "Or we can kill him."
  448. <Gandr> "But I am not going to up and leave him."
  449. <@Clarence_ST> Lemy shirks away from Gandr.
  450. <Soul> "No, Gandr, you are. Because if you'll recall, you signed a contract stating your involvement with the guild pursuant to the finding of a cure to this plague."
  451. <Soul> "Taking him with us only hinders our efforts to find a cure. Killing him might save us the trouble of encountering him again, but I doubt it, and I also doubt doctor SHI would appreciate it."
  452. <Gandr> "I gave my word, yes. I recall that."
  453. <Faye> "Plauge Vs Deathknight - guess which holds the larger threat." me crosses his arms and pouts.
  454. <Faye> "even a bloody mortal can tell"
  455. <Kris> "Lemy, do you know anything about this plauge?"
  456. <Gandr> "But we are the chosen of the Unconquered Sun. We have a duty to the land."
  457. <Shim> "No one is killing anyone." Shim states from the back of the room, more assured than usual.
  458. <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "Um... About the plague..."
  459. <@Clarence_ST> Lemy puts his forefingers together, not quite knowing how to put this.
  460. * Kris waits.
  461. * Faye stops pouting to listen to Lemy.
  462. <Gandr> "I do not WANT to kill you, Lemy. I can see that you aren't a willing weapon of ... of whatever it is that made you into this."
  463. <Gandr> "But neither am I willing to ignore what you /are/."
  464. <Gandr> "Youwhatnow."
  465. * Soul spittakes the spittle he has accumulated in his mouth
  466. <Faye> "Which incidently makes you the best person to research and design a cure, yes?" Faye smiles.
  467. <Gandr> "YOU MADE THAT SHADOWLAND ?!"
  468. <Soul> "somethingthatcouldhavebeenbroughttoourattention AWHILEAGO"
  469. <@Clarence_ST> "Yes! I want to cure it!"
  470. <Soul> "Wait, you MADE this plague? Yourself?"
  471. <Faye> "There, see! Let's all be buddies here."
  472. <Soul> Seriously?"
  473. <@Clarence_ST> "Well... Yeah..."
  474. <@Clarence_ST> "I made the plague."
  475. <Soul> "I...don't mean to QUESTION your abilities, you seem like a bright young lad with potential, but you're only..."
  476. <Soul> "I mean, how..."
  477. <@Clarence_ST> "I Exalted."
  478. <Faye> "DEATH KNIGHT!"
  479. * Gandr is clenching and unclenching his hands alarmingly.
  480. <Soul> "But...an entire plague?"
  481. * Kris blinks rapidly
  482. <Soul> "Engineered by YOU?"
  483. <Faye> "Death Knight"
  484. * Shim continues to play quietly, still smoking the SOS joint.
  485. <@Clarence_ST> "Don't make it seem like that much of a deal..."
  486. <@Clarence_ST> "I just want to get rid of it."
  487. <Gandr> "Okay, not a big deal."
  488. <Soul> "It IS a big deal. I mean...I...wha...wow."
  489. * Soul is sorta...stunned"
  490. * Faye glances at Shim, walking over and sitting next to. "are they always like this?"
  491. <Gandr> "Those birds - you remember those birds, right, they tried to eat us - you're responsible for those."
  492. <Soul> "...well...Shit. This changes EVERYTHING."
  493. * Soul starts pacing again, this time less annoyed
  494. <@Clarence_ST> Shi takes a flask from his hip and starts drinking.
  495. * Shim slaps the body of her guitar like drums, "Yuuup. They like, dunno when to chill."
  496. <Soul> "We'll need a lot more hemp before we're through" he mutters to himself...
  497. * Faye nods. "pass me that joint." finds own guitar, strumming a light tune.
  498. * Shim passes the doobie on the left hand side.
  499. <Soul> "So, umm..."
  500. <Kris> "I think further discussion should wait til tommorow. Five hours ago we were in a fight to the death in a place where Creation and the Underworld overlapped."
  501. * Shim Then to the right, Faye is on her right...
  502. * Faye takes a nice long inhale efore passing it back.
  503. <Kris> "You were going to say something, Soul?"
  504. <Soul> "...OK, I guess we can resolve this when Chei is sober."
  505. <Soul> "And we have some mechanism to KEEP him sober."
  506. <Soul> "But, Lemy..."
  507. * Soul crouches down again
  508. <Soul> "I hope you realize the implications of this...this is pretty heavy..."
  509. * Shim inhales the last of it and blows out musical notation, which she then plays.
  510. <@Clarence_ST> Lemy: "I... I just want to get rid of it..."
  511. <Soul> "Well...good. Then I guess you'll be travelling with us, helping us do just that."
  512. <Soul> "Who knows, maybe I'll find a way to break you from that contract of yours."
  513. * Faye plays along with Shim, manageing to keep up with the beat.
  514. <@Clarence_ST> Lemy smiles.
  515. <Soul> "Provided...well, we can discuss that all tomorrow."
  516. <Soul> "If you want to make yourself useful now, our mortal 'friend' has passed out and could use some medical assistance to tend to his wounds, and I guess it's up to ME to heal our special fucking snowflake."
  517. <@Clarence_ST> "One thing that you should know, I'm going to keep my identity a secret when we reveal ourselfs as exalts, with this little charm that I cooked up."
  518. <@Clarence_ST> Lemy shines his castemark, which is exactly like Soul's.
  519. <@Clarence_ST> Twilight caste.
  520. <@Clarence_ST> Yes, it is shining. Not bleeding.
  521. <Soul> "...so...you can make your castemark seem pure?"
  522. <@Clarence_ST> "I can do far more than that."
  523. * Gandr rubs his own forehead without thinking about it. It makes him feel uncomfortable, seeing Lemy's castemark.
  524. <@Clarence_ST> "So... Tommorow."
  525. <@Clarence_ST> "Let's get some rest."
  526. <Soul> "Right, but for now..."
  527. <@Clarence_ST> "I mean, let's get some rest today."
  528. <@Clarence_ST> "So we can be right for tommorow."
  529. * Soul looks over to Relain. "Gandr, if you wouldn't mind..."
  530. <Shim> "I'll get him," Shim chimes in, lifting Relain up onto a shoulder.
  531. <Soul> "Take him to his room, I'll be along to tend to our fearless leader."
  532. * Shim nods slowly and wanders off, not sure if she knows where she's going herself.
  533. <Faye> "Shimmer?" me gives a half stoned chuckle. "awesome."
  534. <Soul> "About that...thing that the Overseer said...about your home..."
  535. <Soul> "You should get a message back to them, to warn them, right? I might be able to help, I mean I know people who know people..."
  536. * Shim turns and gives her beautiful thousand yard stare that lacks attention but singles you out in the world.
  537. * Shim nods, "Followers of the enlightened one will live on, atleast in me."
  538. <Soul> "I mean, it'd be a huge loss if Woodstock Island were to die off...all those plants..."
  539. * Soul shrugs. "Fine, be philosophical, then. I'll send a note off myself, though."
  540. * Shim turns slowly and walks off, a hint of depression and homesickness in her steps.
  541. === Session end===
