  1. [2012-11-15 20:23:55] <Falconis> very well
  2. [2012-11-15 20:24:02] <Falconis> WHEN WE LAST SAW OUR HERO
  3. [2012-11-15 20:24:37] <Falconis> he managed to cool off his hot date that was getting a bit too clingy and split town
  4. [2012-11-15 20:25:40] <PriceisMagic> (Crying like a bitch)
  5. [2012-11-15 20:25:43] <Falconis> With only the clothes on his back, a sword on his hip and a ghost pain in his chest how will he survive the journey to his chosen destination of Forbis? Let's find out
  6. [2012-11-15 20:26:39] <Feeling_Flaky> At least his stomach is full.
  7. [2012-11-15 20:27:04] <Falconis> The sun is going down in a crystal clear sky. You are a few miles outside the city of Minerva, green fields all around and a single road pointing north the only other break in the vista
  8. [2012-11-15 20:27:05] <Falconis> >_
  9. [2012-11-15 20:27:35] <Feeling_Flaky> Take in breath of fresh air
  10. [2012-11-15 20:28:15] <Falconis> The air is crisp and clean with just a touch of sea
  11. [2012-11-15 20:28:28] <Feeling_Flaky> Hometown's gone. Military Service? No more, there's not a military to serve. All the people you've ever known and loved? Gone.
  12. [2012-11-15 20:29:32] <Feeling_Flaky> Stifle back them tears, for he will be the living proof of Minerva's Military Might.
  13. [2012-11-15 20:29:52] <Feeling_Flaky> Any food?
  14. [2012-11-15 20:29:56] <Falconis> nope
  15. [2012-11-15 20:30:14] <Feeling_Flaky> ...any trees in sight?
  16. [2012-11-15 20:30:23] <Falconis> nope
  17. [2012-11-15 20:30:34] <Falconis> >green fields all around and a single road pointing north the only other break in the vista
  18. [2012-11-15 20:30:47] <Feeling_Flaky> (Field doesn't mean 100% pasture)
  19. [2012-11-15 20:31:18] <Feeling_Flaky> Welp, keep on going....at a faster pace, hope to find an apple tree or an animal
  20. [2012-11-15 20:31:20] <Falconis> (indeed)
  21. [2012-11-15 20:31:48] <Feeling_Flaky> Ah yes, meat would be nice, so so nice and filling in Hrist's empty stomach
  22. [2012-11-15 20:35:58] <Falconis> You head on down the road toward forbis at a brisk pace, looking for a source of food
  23. [2012-11-15 20:37:11] <Feeling_Flaky> (brb, getting actual food)
  24. [2012-11-15 20:37:17] <Falconis> and it's not long before you pass a farm
  25. [2012-11-15 20:37:19] <Falconis> oh ok

  63. [2012-11-15 20:53:32] <Falconis> har
  64. [2012-11-15 20:53:39] <Falconis> So right, you find a farm
  65. [2012-11-15 20:53:57] <Feeling_Flaky> A FARM
  66. [2012-11-15 20:54:12] <Feeling_Flaky> Apple pies here I go!
  67. [2012-11-15 20:54:13] <Falconis> what the crop is, is not immediately determinable
  68. [2012-11-15 20:54:36] <Feeling_Flaky> well, does the area around it look green and healthy?
  69. [2012-11-15 20:54:48] <Falconis> You don't know if this is a large farm or what, but there is a building a little ways off
  70. [2012-11-15 20:54:56] <Falconis> it does
  71. [2012-11-15 20:56:06] <Feeling_Flaky> well, lets go and tap that door
  72. [2012-11-15 20:56:25] <Falconis> You walk towards the house, when the world explodes
  73. [2012-11-15 20:56:35] <Feeling_Flaky> wat
  74. [2012-11-15 20:57:09] <PriceisMagic> (You die, make anew character)
  75. [2012-11-15 20:57:10] <Falconis> no, no not quite explodes. There is a deep rumbling noise and the sky lights up as if it's noon, the source behind you
  76. [2012-11-15 20:57:22] <Falconis> The earth shakes and knocks you off your feet
  77. [2012-11-15 20:57:32] <Falconis> >_
  78. [2012-11-15 20:58:37] <Feeling_Flaky> "What the fuck is going on"
  79. [2012-11-15 20:58:52] <Feeling_Flaky> The earth...as in, ALL THE EARTH, just the path, or how much?
  80. [2012-11-15 20:59:02] <Falconis> the earth
  81. [2012-11-15 20:59:30] <Falconis> all that you can decern as being the earth, is currently shaking
  82. [2012-11-15 20:59:42] <Falconis> discern
  83. [2012-11-15 20:59:53] <Falconis> rumbling
  84. [2012-11-15 20:59:54] <Falconis> quaking
  85. [2012-11-15 21:00:01] <Feeling_Flaky> Earthquake! haul ass before it swallows you up!
  86. [2012-11-15 21:00:09] <Feeling_Flaky> to the farm!
  87. [2012-11-15 21:00:45] <Falconis> You run towards the farm on unsteady footing, falling no less than thrice before you get there
  88. [2012-11-15 21:00:55] <Falconis> The door is ajar and the building is shaking
  89. [2012-11-15 21:01:12] <Feeling_Flaky> get under a tree
  90. [2012-11-15 21:01:13] <Falconis> lights flicker inside and you hear shattering expensive things
  91. [2012-11-15 21:01:20] <Feeling_Flaky> Not the building, a tree
  92. [2012-11-15 21:01:20] <Falconis> what tree
  93. [2012-11-15 21:01:26] <Feeling_Flaky> OH GOD THERE'S NO TREE
  94. [2012-11-15 21:01:36] <Feeling_Flaky> No Tree, No Tree!
  95. [2012-11-15 21:01:59] <Feeling_Flaky> What's the building made out of? Stone? Wood?
  96. [2012-11-15 21:02:56] <Falconis> mix
  97. [2012-11-15 21:03:11] <Falconis> a mix of stone and timber
  98. [2012-11-15 21:03:37] <Feeling_Flaky> Look stable enough? No big holes or crumbling parts of the wall?
  99. [2012-11-15 21:04:43] <Falconis> not that you can see
  100. [2012-11-15 21:07:12] <Falconis> <_<
  101. [2012-11-15 21:07:13] <Falconis> >_>
  102. [2012-11-15 21:07:15] <Feeling_Flaky> get in, but stay near the door in case it can't hold up
  103. [2012-11-15 21:07:50] <Falconis> You do so
  104. [2012-11-15 21:07:58] <Feeling_Flaky> And...take a look at those "expensive hearing shattered things"
  105. [2012-11-15 21:07:58] <Feeling_Flaky> inb4 corn, all the corn one could ever wish for
  106. [2012-11-15 21:08:40] <Falconis> The earth quakes and shakes for a minute more, though you can't see much in this place from the doorway, especially with your eyes boggling around in your skull
  107. [2012-11-15 21:09:00] <Falconis> then as suddenly as it began, the quaking stops and the light begins to fade
  108. [2012-11-15 21:12:18] <Falconis> >_
  109. [2012-11-15 21:15:08] <Feeling_Flaky> back sorry
  110. [2012-11-15 21:15:19] <Feeling_Flaky> wait, light fading?
  111. [2012-11-15 21:15:42] <Feeling_Flaky> Aw shit, stuff are happening that he can't understand
  112. [2012-11-15 21:16:00] <Falconis> yes, the night sky lit up when the quakes started
  113. [2012-11-15 21:16:15] <Feeling_Flaky> Find a candle or lintern
  114. [2012-11-15 21:16:18] <Falconis> I suppose you missed that sentence
  115. [2012-11-15 21:16:50] <Feeling_Flaky> rummage everything in the building
  116. [2012-11-15 21:16:52] <Falconis> The lights in the house are still on, sorry, candlelight is steady now
  117. [2012-11-15 21:18:22] <Feeling_Flaky> see if I can find anything useful or to eat
  118. [2012-11-15 21:20:07] <Falconis> You enter the house and step out of the modest entryway, you see a middle aged man and woman crouching under a table
  119. [2012-11-15 21:20:44] <Falconis> shattered fragments of bowls and spilled soup all over the floor and tables
  120. [2012-11-15 21:20:52] <Falconis> a kettle whistles on a stove
  121. [2012-11-15 21:21:17] <Falconis> You are in a dining/kitchen/living room it looks like
  122. [2012-11-15 21:21:39] <Feeling_Flaky> "Uh. Good evening." Hrist fumbles a bit
  123. [2012-11-15 21:22:13] <PriceisMagic> (Whelp GfH universe if fucked)
  124. [2012-11-15 21:22:57] <Feeling_Flaky> Hrist is secretly overjoyed at finding FOOD
  125. [2012-11-15 21:25:16] <Falconis> The man looks up at you, a bit of soup pouring down his face
  126. [2012-11-15 21:25:32] <Falconis> [???]"G-Good evening"
  127. [2012-11-15 21:26:13] <Falconis> (sec, bathroom)
  128. [2012-11-15 21:27:23] <Feeling_Flaky> "Sorry for the intrusion, I've been travelling for awhile and thought I'd find some rest here. Hurried my pace when the earthquake came up." Hrist smiles awkwardly
  129. [2012-11-15 21:32:03] <Feeling_Flaky> "....mind if I stay for awhile?"
  130. [2012-11-15 21:32:18] <Falconis> They look at each other
  131. [2012-11-15 21:32:59] <Falconis> [???woman]"We don't have a guest room, but if you don't mind the barn, you could stay the night"
  132. [2012-11-15 21:33:59] <Feeling_Flaky> "Thank you, I'm Hristofor, on the way to Forblis." Step inside, lay sword down
  133. [2012-11-15 21:35:05] <Falconis> [???]"Hal, my wife's Nina. So you are a Minerva guard then?"
  134. [2012-11-15 21:35:17] <Falconis> He raises from under the table, helping his wife stand
  135. [2012-11-15 21:36:15] <Feeling_Flaky> Starts undoing the leather armor's straps. "Yes, although with what happened recently..I'm not sure if I'm still one anymore."
  136. [2012-11-15 21:37:29] <Falconis> They move around the room, fixing things and putting them in their right places
  137. [2012-11-15 21:37:44] <Falconis> Nina clucks her tongue at a broken plate
  138. [2012-11-15 21:38:01] <Falconis> [Hal]"If you don't mind me asking, what happened?"
  139. [2012-11-15 21:38:30] <Feeling_Flaky> "Ah, don't worry, I'm not a deserter, I don't bring any trouble."
  140. [2012-11-15 21:40:06] <Feeling_Flaky> A troubled face crosses his features, not sure how to answer. "Well, it's...something that actually happened today."
  141. [2012-11-15 21:40:48] <Feeling_Flaky> "Everyone dissapeared. In less than a few hours, the city was a ghost town...I'm not sure what happened, but it did."
  142. [2012-11-15 21:41:41] <Feeling_Flaky> "They were simply gone, not a raid or kidnapping. I know it's hard to believe me, but you can go check with your own eyes."
  143. [2012-11-15 21:41:56] <Falconis> A look of shock and concern crosses his features and the woman gasps, holding a hand before her mouth
  144. [2012-11-15 21:42:13] <Feeling_Flaky> "I got too scared and left the place with what I had."
  145. [2012-11-15 21:42:28] <PriceisMagic> (Did you actually check to if they all vanished and not run into their houses because of the rain?)
  146. [2012-11-15 21:42:56] <Feeling_Flaky> (It's not 'the rain', I went into a military outpost. They ALWAYS have people there. Even the infirmary was empty."
  147. [2012-11-15 21:43:00] <Falconis> [Hal]"That's...unfortunate. If what you say is true, then I don't know what we will do...and you have no idea what caused it?"
  148. [2012-11-15 21:43:26] <Falconis> [Hal]"What happened? Do you know if it will spread?"
  149. [2012-11-15 21:44:08] <Feeling_Flaky> "No, sorry. I made sure to check even the guard outposts, and they were empty too. I did find one person, but he was too shocked and traumatized to give a response."
  150. [2012-11-15 21:44:50] <Feeling_Flaky> Choke back them tears, as he remembers all he had and enjoyed just this morning
  151. [2012-11-15 21:45:09] <Feeling_Flaky> (No more cheap Ceviche ;n;)
  152. [2012-11-15 21:45:59] <Falconis> Hal and Nina share look, and the man sighs deeply
  153. [2012-11-15 21:46:44] <Falconis> [Hal]"Well, lets not worry about it now, I will go and see in the morning and try and get a message to Troblis. Maybe the imperials will help."
  154. [2012-11-15 21:46:55] <Falconis> [Nina]"But dear"
  155. [2012-11-15 21:47:15] <Falconis> [Hal]"I know. But I don't know what else we could do"
  156. [2012-11-15 21:47:42] <Feeling_Flaky> "I'm sorry. I don't know the cause, but I think it's magic related. No other way to explain a dissapearance of that size...."
  157. [2012-11-15 21:47:51] <PriceisMagic> (Wont they be in for a surprise?)
  158. [2012-11-15 21:48:03] <Feeling_Flaky> (Yup)
  159. [2012-11-15 21:50:25] <Falconis> Nina brings you a bowl of turnip soup
  160. [2012-11-15 21:50:51] <Falconis> [Nina]"Thank you for bringing us this message. it's not much but please have some soup."
  161. [2012-11-15 21:51:19] <Feeling_Flaky> "T-Thank you Maám."
  162. [2012-11-15 21:51:26] <Feeling_Flaky> Ma'am*
  163. [2012-11-15 21:51:37] <Feeling_Flaky> dig into that soup
  164. [2012-11-15 21:52:52] <Falconis> it is thin and turnipy
  165. [2012-11-15 21:52:56] <Falconis> food~
  166. [2012-11-15 21:53:25] <Feeling_Flaky> FOOOD
  167. [2012-11-15 21:53:52] <Falconis> Hal and Nina clean up while you eat and talk with each other about what to do about the crops and shipping without minerva
  168. [2012-11-15 21:54:11] <Falconis> Hal considers Forbis, but the Crows and Sions charge stupid rates
  169. [2012-11-15 21:54:26] <Falconis> Nina argues that they don't have much other choice
  170. [2012-11-15 21:54:33] <Falconis> >_
  171. [2012-11-15 21:56:05] <Feeling_Flaky> "The Crows? Sions? Tax collectors?"
  172. [2012-11-15 21:57:52] <Falconis> Hal turns to face you, putting down a cleaned bowl
  173. [2012-11-15 21:58:51] <Falconis> [Hal]"Well, I suppose a lot of Minervans wouldn't know. The Crows and Sions are families. They own Forbis and charge a lot more than Minerva as sales tax
  174. [2012-11-15 22:00:59] <Falconis> [Nina]"it's going to be a lot harder to live, if we even stay here that is"
  175. [2012-11-15 22:03:30] <Falconis> ?
  176. [2012-11-15 22:03:35] <Feeling_Flaky> "Oh....Well,
  177. [2012-11-15 22:04:38] <Feeling_Flaky> I don't know much about the policies of other cities, but is it just the high taxes?"
  178. [2012-11-15 22:05:21] <Falconis> [Hal]"Well, there are other things, for one it's a lot farther away"
  179. [2012-11-15 22:05:31] <Falconis> He sighs and rubs his forehead
  180. [2012-11-15 22:06:15] <Falconis> [Hal]"But don't you worry about it, comon, let me show you the barn"
  181. [2012-11-15 22:06:34] <Falconis> Hal rises and walks out the door, beckoning you to follow
  182. [2012-11-15 22:06:52] <Feeling_Flaky> "Thank you, I'm sorry to say I don't have any coin to pay for the meal..."
  183. [2012-11-15 22:07:41] <Feeling_Flaky> Hrist gets up and gathers his stuff
  184. [2012-11-15 22:08:25] <Falconis> Nina waves off the notion of payment
  185. [2012-11-15 22:09:44] <Falconis> following hal?
  186. [2012-11-15 22:09:49] <Feeling_Flaky> yup
  187. [2012-11-15 22:10:06] <Falconis> Hal leads you out to a much larger building, the barn
  188. [2012-11-15 22:10:25] <Falconis> As soon as he opens the door the smell of turnips is overpowering
  189. [2012-11-15 22:10:35] <Falconis> and when you go in, turnips, turnips everywhere
  190. [2012-11-15 22:10:47] <Falconis> He hands you a lantern and a large blanket
  191. [2012-11-15 22:11:11] <Feeling_Flaky> Hrist stares at the turnips for awhile.
  192. [2012-11-15 22:11:21] <Falconis> [Hal]"So you're headed to forbis tomorrow?"
  193. [2012-11-15 22:12:13] <Feeling_Flaky> "Yeah, need a safe place to stay in, and to get a quick job for money. I'll come back sometime later, to investigate what caused all this."
  194. [2012-11-15 22:13:13] <Feeling_Flaky> yawn
  195. [2012-11-15 22:13:50] <Falconis> He nods and pats you on the back
  196. [2012-11-15 22:14:12] <Falconis> [Hal]"I'll leave you to it." and then he's back to the house
  197. [2012-11-15 22:14:41] <Feeling_Flaky> welp, get on the hay then
  198. [2012-11-15 22:14:55] <Feeling_Flaky> set stuff nearby, so it doesnt get stolen
  199. [2012-11-15 22:15:01] <Feeling_Flaky> ...and stare at the Turnips.
  200. [2012-11-15 22:16:30] <Feeling_Flaky> It's been a long day, and it sure won't be easy starting tomorow
  201. [2012-11-15 22:16:40] <Falconis> SLEEP DESCENDS LIKE A BOX FULL O TURNIPS
  202. [2012-11-15 22:16:48] <Falconis> IT'S HEAVY
  203. [2012-11-15 22:17:09] <Feeling_Flaky> He'll probably have to work as a temporary guard or something equally shitty for some quick cash. Oh well, at least he's used to it.
  204. [2012-11-15 22:17:18] <Feeling_Flaky> snore snore
