<@ZombieRaptor> (Kond licks him) He looks to him. "Where can we find this man?"
[11:49:39] <@Balthazaar> Tiss tries to figure out if this pretty guy is a man or woman.
[11:49:55] <@ZombieRaptor> Kond is still spoopy Kitsune
[11:50:05] <@ZombieRaptor> He's like 'eh' they fear me I'm good
[11:50:08] <@Hyperax> Taiki looks at Tiss, back at the pretty guy, then at Tiss again.
[11:50:21] <@Hyperax> smile becomes slightly strained
[11:50:54] <~|PuNKCaT|> "You'd need to go to Dead mans drop.. there is a rumour there is a powerful caster there"
[11:51:50] ZombieRaptor [~ZombieRap@synIRC-56912A7.pools.spcsdns.net] has quit IRC: Quit: ZombieRaptor
[11:51:57] <@Balthazaar> Tiss raises an eyebrow aw Taiki
[11:52:11] <@Hyperax> 1d20+13 sense motive
[11:52:11] <%Panic> Hyperax: sense motive: 15 (1d20+13=2)
[11:52:20] <@Hyperax> on the pretty guy
[11:52:32] <~|PuNKCaT|> oh, he's straight up
[11:53:13] <~|PuNKCaT|> Leandro interoduces him as Finnigan, the guy from Luna who owns the library, and is a collector of histories and knowledge
[11:54:07] <@Hyperax> "I am Taiki" taiki says
[11:54:39] <@Balthazaar> "I'm Tiss."
[11:55:42] <~|PuNKCaT|> he nods and gives everyone a charming grin
[11:56:08] <@Hyperax> "Where is this Dead mans drop?"
[11:56:48] <@Balthazaar> "I don't like the name of this place. It's a bad omen..."
[11:57:03] <@Hyperax> "It certainly is ominous"
[11:57:50] <~|PuNKCaT|> "It's .. ah, I'll find a map for you.. all the places around here are named like that.. pirate convention or seomthing" he grns and shrugs
[12:00:03] <@Balthazaar> Tiss squints at Finn the human. "Oh... Okay."
[12:01:52] <~|PuNKCaT|> He stifles a yawn "What kind of curse is it?"
[12:21:14] <@Balthazaar> "I don't know..." She's staring at Finn
[12:21:18] <@Balthazaar> The human
[12:21:30] <~|PuNKCaT|> (yeah, all human..)
[12:21:44] <~|PuNKCaT|> (:P)
[12:22:22] <~|PuNKCaT|> He gives her the /full/ volume of his charming smile, and then ruins it by yawning again
[12:23:08] <@Balthazaar> The charming smile is effective. She grins and blushes a little under all that dirt
[12:23:36] <@Hyperax> Taiki's smile goes /slightly/ more strained
[12:25:30] <~|PuNKCaT|> If Finnigan notices Taiki's issues, he ignores them. "So, where do you all hail from?"
[12:26:36] <&Puppetmaster> Maiko exists.
[12:26:38] <&Puppetmaster> Somewhere.
[12:26:40] <&Puppetmaster> UNSEEN.
[12:26:42] <&Puppetmaster> WATCHING.
[12:27:05] <@Balthazaar> "An island."
[12:27:15] <@Hyperax> "Fusou."
[12:28:28] <~|PuNKCaT|> Maiko watches Mio searching the hold.. what's she's looking for is anyones gues
[12:28:58] <&Puppetmaster> She watches what she's searching.
[12:29:31] <@Balthazaar> "Where are you from?"
[12:29:32] <~|PuNKCaT|> Everything, she's carefully looking everywhere
[12:30:07] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn raises an eyebrow "Oh.. around here... Fusou you say? Interesting"
[12:30:38] <@Hyperax> "It is a nice place"
[12:31:16] <~|PuNKCaT|> "I will have to ask you more about it, when I'm not so busy"
[12:32:26] <&Puppetmaster> Maiko just waits for her to try to take something.
[12:32:59] <@Balthazaar> Tiss is a bit disappointed Finn seems to have lost interest in her. She stands closer to Taiki.
[12:33:58] <@Hyperax> "Certainly..."
[12:40:00] <&Puppetmaster> Does Mio do anything interesting?
[12:40:07] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio is disreguarding even valuable things, she is clearly searching for something specific, and not finding it
[12:40:19] <@Balthazaar> Tiss sighs and takes a seat.
[12:40:29] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finally she gives a noise of disgust and leaves the hold
[12:40:41] <&Puppetmaster> "What are you looking for in my room?"
[12:40:46] <&Puppetmaster> The voice comes from the ceiling.
[12:41:04] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio looks up "You live here honoured one?"
[12:41:32] <&Puppetmaster> There's nothing there. "Honoured... No, not even close." The voice is from the right now.
[12:41:42] <&Puppetmaster> "What are you looking for?" And behind her.
[12:41:44] <~|PuNKCaT|> Leandro shakes his head and slaps Finnigan on the back "He's forever too busy, stuck in musty old books"
[12:42:08] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Something I lost, but it is not here"
[12:42:16] <@Balthazaar> "You... Read the tomes?"
[12:42:28] <@Hyperax> "Ah, books"
[12:42:46] <@Hyperax> "They are nice. I was hoping to find a library in this town"
[12:42:52] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn raises an eyebrow "Mmm I do read books, translating a very old one at the moment"
[12:43:12] <@Hyperax> "Oh? Which?"
[12:43:28] <~|PuNKCaT|> "I have the only library.. if you'd like to see it you are most welcome... but /only/ during the daylight hours.."
[12:43:47] <&Puppetmaster> "What is it?"
[12:43:49] <@Hyperax> "It would be nice"
[12:44:12] <@Balthazaar> "C-can I come too?"
[12:44:28] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn shrugs "Sure"
[12:44:33] <@Hyperax> "Ah... ok"
[12:44:48] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio frowns "A personal thing, honoured one"
[12:45:00] <@Hyperax> "I was hoping to find information about curses, honestly"
[12:45:51] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn muses for a moment, seemingly mentally catalouging his books "Theye might be one which could be helpful"
[12:46:19] <@Hyperax> "Hmmm..."
[12:46:25] <&Puppetmaster> "Don't call me that." There's a mix of hurt and anger in her voice.
[12:46:45] <&Puppetmaster> "I can help you find it. What is it?"
[12:47:09] <@Hyperax> "It would be wonderful if i could see it"
[12:48:41] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio shakes her head and makes to leave "Sorry San.. I cannot say"
[12:48:57] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn grins "Sure, you could come by now if you like?"
[12:49:11] <&Puppetmaster> "Alright, if you insist."
[12:49:15] <@Hyperax> "Sure."
[12:50:02] <@Balthazaar> Tiss is no longer staring at Finn. She just follows Taiki's lead
[12:50:05] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio bows at wherever she heard the voice last and leaves
[12:50:39] <@Hyperax> Taiki follows Finn, where ever he goes
[12:51:11] <@Balthazaar> Tiss follows Taiki, wiping dirt out of her eyes
[12:51:26] <~|PuNKCaT|> He goes to Luna... and they walk through the entrance which is well.. as you'd expect a house of ill repute to be
[12:51:27] <@Hyperax> assuming its the... Luna place?
[12:51:44] <@Hyperax> Taiki doesn't like this
[12:51:54] <@Hyperax> "Why do you make your home in a place like this?"
[12:51:54] <@Balthazaar> Tiss looks around. "Oh! Are clothes not needed in here?"
[12:52:10] <@Hyperax> Taiki's eyes go wide at this
[12:52:19] <@Hyperax> "ummmm...."
[12:53:10] <&Puppetmaster> No.
[12:53:13] <&Puppetmaster> They are not.
[12:53:16] <&Puppetmaster> Right, Taiki?
[12:55:06] <@Hyperax> "I... what?"
[12:56:03] <@Balthazaar> "Those girls do not wear garments. Does this mean we do not have to wear them in here?"
[12:56:37] <@Hyperax> "no no nothing like that. we still have to wear clothes." he says, although he blushes slightly
[12:57:11] <@Balthazaar> "Oh... Okay."
[12:58:35] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn may smirk a little as he leads them upstairs to his room, it's a library, with a desk, books stacked everywhere..There is a door that seems to lead to another room, it's slightly ajar and he moves to shut it very quickly
[12:59:37] <@Balthazaar> Tiss is immediately extremely curious about the other door. "What is in there?"
[12:59:52] <@Hyperax> "Yeah... what is in there?"
[12:59:57] <@Hyperax> Taiki asks
[13:00:03] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn grimaces "nothing"
[13:00:11] <@Hyperax> he shrugs
[13:00:14] <@Hyperax> "Ok then"
[13:00:36] <@Balthazaar> "...."
[13:00:50] <~|PuNKCaT|> you can look at books while Finn tries to find the right one... the hours slip by
[13:00:52] <@Balthazaar> "Can I look?"
[13:01:01] <@Hyperax> "Look at?"
[13:01:13] <@Balthazaar> "The room..."
[13:01:29] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn raises an eyebrow "It would be better if you didn't"
[13:01:43] <@Balthazaar> "Oh..."
[13:02:27] <@Hyperax> "I'm assuming either someone's murdered in there, which isn't our business, or... its the /restricted/ part of the library"
[13:02:39] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Its .. my bedroom"
[13:02:49] <@Hyperax> he shrugs
[13:03:06] <@Hyperax> "In a place like this, what is the difference"
[13:03:17] <@Balthazaar> "Oh." She's not interested in the bedroom now.
[13:03:30] <~|PuNKCaT|> when you next look out the window it's dusk
[13:03:54] <@Balthazaar> She just wanders around and fiddles with things that she doen't understand, which is nearly everything
[13:03:55] <&Puppetmaster> How duskish is it?
[13:03:59] <~|PuNKCaT|> enough
[13:04:03] <@Hyperax> can Tiss read?
[13:04:14] <&Puppetmaster> There's a sound like stone on stone from Finn's room.
[13:04:35] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn has finally found the book and stands up with an "Ahah!"
[13:04:50] <~|PuNKCaT|> then he realises the time
[13:04:57] <@Balthazaar> Tiss can read druidic, but not common
[13:05:42] <@Hyperax> "What was that?"
[13:06:59] <~|PuNKCaT|> "You should leave"
[13:07:30] <@Hyperax> "Why?"
[13:07:40] <~|PuNKCaT|> "..."
[13:07:40] <@Balthazaar> Tiss is sitting on the floor, making a little stack of books
[13:07:56] <@Hyperax> "I am just curious"
[13:07:59] <@Hyperax> "As to the reason"
[13:08:01] <&Puppetmaster> The sound issues again, a bit louder.
[13:08:11] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Because.. "
[13:09:35] <~|PuNKCaT|> "I have the book here.. you may borrow it" he winces as he says this, pretty obvious he values his books greatly - they are rare and expensive commoditys after all
[13:10:30] <&Puppetmaster> There's a sound like a very large bat from Finn's room.
[13:10:34] <&Puppetmaster> The fuck is going on.
[13:10:59] <@Hyperax> "... What is that?"
[13:11:24] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Nothing you need to concern yourself about" he tries to usher them both out the door
[13:12:01] <@Hyperax> "Hmmm..."
[13:14:12] <@Hyperax> Taiki is going for the bedroom door at this point
[13:14:48] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finnigan just sighs
[13:15:05] <&Puppetmaster> Do it. You know you want to.
[13:15:21] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Don't say I didn't warn you.. and you'll not hurt them.. or you'll answer to me"
[13:15:21] <@Hyperax> "You sure you can't tell me what is going on?" Taiki says
[13:15:38] <@Hyperax> "Then explain, please"
[13:16:06] <@Hyperax> "I promise whatever you tell me will not leave the room"
[13:20:19] Balthazaar [Mibbit@synIRC-905A3B28.lns10.lon.bigpond.net.au] has quit IRC: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client
[13:27:46] Balthazaar [Mibbit@synIRC-B6F6B841.lns8.lon.bigpond.net.au] has joined #dracopeur
[13:36:03] <~|PuNKCaT|> "I have... unique visitors"
[13:36:10] <Balthazaar> "... What?"
[13:36:28] <@Hyperax> he pauses
[13:36:32] <@Hyperax> "What type of unique visitors?"
[13:36:50] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Ones protected by the Goddess.. and therefore, by myself also"
[13:37:01] <@Hyperax> he sighs at this
[13:37:02] <@Hyperax> and stops
[13:37:29] <@Hyperax> "If they are protected by Luna, then i have no right to interfere"
[13:37:53] <&Puppetmaster> The door opens, and a lean, muscular woman with pale skin, black hair, and green eyes steps out. She's wearing light armor and has a mace in her belt. She looks confused at you fucks.
[13:38:00] <@Hyperax> Taiki bows
[13:38:03] <@Hyperax> "Hello"
[13:38:07] <&Puppetmaster> Taiki give a perc?
[13:38:11] <@Hyperax> "We were just leaving"
[13:38:13] <@Hyperax> 1d20+20
[13:38:14] <%Panic> Hyperax: 38 (1d20+20=18)
[13:38:28] <&Puppetmaster> There's a coffin in the room behind her, recently opened.
[13:38:34] <Balthazaar> "H-hello?" Tiss is all the confused
[13:38:38] <&Puppetmaster> Big stone affair.
[13:38:51] <@Hyperax> he looks at it, looks at Finn, and shrugs
[13:38:56] <&Puppetmaster> "... Hello..." She looks at Finn. "Is this... how they dress?"
[13:39:00] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn just sighs and leans against his desk.. he looks tired as abyss
[13:39:01] <@Hyperax> "If Luna protects them, not my problem"
[13:39:20] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Define *they*"
[13:39:37] <@Hyperax> "Do you want us to come back tommorow for the book?"
[13:39:48] <&Puppetmaster> "People outside the temple."
[13:40:01] <~|PuNKCaT|> "I said you culd take it if you wish..." all the reluctab=nce
[13:40:36] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Oh.. hmm.. he is from Fusou, and.. I don't know.." (he's dressed in normal street clothes, he doesn't do robes n shit)
[13:40:58] <@Hyperax> "hm. I will return it tommorow, then" he says, and picks the book up /carefully/
[13:41:21] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn still winces
[13:41:27] <@Hyperax> "Come on Tiss, we should get going" he says, bowing again, and going to the door.
[13:41:30] <~|PuNKCaT|> (book babies.. argh)
[13:41:53] <Balthazaar> "Okay..." Tiss is just confused as fuck.
[13:42:23] <&Puppetmaster> The pale woman examines the strangers closely.
[13:43:40] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn makes no move to stop them, but no move to hurry them on either.. he's just.. observing
[13:43:55] <@Hyperax> Taiki bows again, and taking Tiss's hand, leaves
[13:44:04] <@Hyperax> its... a tight grip
[13:44:15] <&Puppetmaster> "... You're not going to test them before you give aid?" She looks at Finn.
[13:44:21] <Balthazaar> Tiss holds his hand and goes with him
[13:44:30] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn glances at his guest "Test them?"
[13:44:53] <&Puppetmaster> "The goddess determines if they are worthy, and if they are not, they are killed."
[13:44:58] <&Puppetmaster> "That's how we did it."
[13:45:15] <~|PuNKCaT|> "mmm .. I... things have changed"
[13:45:22] <@Hyperax> Taiki hurries the fuck back to the ship
[13:45:31] <@Hyperax> its easy to see he's stressed
[13:45:50] <Balthazaar> "Taiki? Are you hurt? What is wrong?"
[13:45:59] <@Hyperax> "I'll tell you when we get to the ship"
[13:46:02] <&Puppetmaster> She frowns.
[13:46:14] <&Puppetmaster> And heads off to do things.
[13:46:39] <@Hyperax> he make it there?
[13:47:00] <~|PuNKCaT|> Finn sits at his desk and continues to dechiper that text.. eventually falling asleep on it
[13:47:17] <~|PuNKCaT|> d100
[13:47:19] <%Panic> |PuNKCaT|: 82 (d100=82)
[13:47:41] <~|PuNKCaT|> a couple of drunks bump into him on the way, and then jeeer and make lewd talk
[13:48:00] <@Hyperax> he ignores them
[13:48:11] <~|PuNKCaT|> d100
[13:48:13] <%Panic> |PuNKCaT|: 50 (d100=50)
[13:48:20] <Balthazaar> Tiss looks at the drunken sailors. "What's a bunghole?"
[13:48:21] <~|PuNKCaT|> it's dark, he trips on a cobble
[13:48:30] <~|PuNKCaT|> reflex save
[13:49:01] <@Hyperax> 1d20+11
[13:49:03] <%Panic> Hyperax: 20 (1d20+11=9)
[13:49:07] <~|PuNKCaT|> "What he's got a stick shoved up darlin, .. come play with us.. we're much more fun!"
[13:49:14] <@Hyperax> "Fuck"
[13:49:25] <~|PuNKCaT|> he stubs his toe but doesn't fall over
[13:49:30] <@Hyperax> he says, stubbing his toe
[13:49:38] <Balthazaar> "... I want to play..."
[13:49:52] <&Puppetmaster> Tiss you're bad at this.
[13:49:59] <@Hyperax> "We need to go. Now" he says, some urgency in his voice
[13:51:07] <Balthazaar> She looks at Taiki. "Why? I want to play with the fun people..."
[13:51:21] <@Hyperax> "Didn't you notice anything about the room?"
[13:51:38] <Balthazaar> "There was a box."
[13:51:47] <@Hyperax> "A coffin"
[13:52:08] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio is pacing the railings on the ship
[13:52:25] <@Hyperax> Taiki boards the ship
[13:53:20] <~|PuNKCaT|> "Honoured one, honoured one's consort" she bows
[13:53:48] <@Hyperax> Taiki bows quickly, and stiffly, back
[13:53:52] <&Puppetmaster> "Consort"
[13:53:56] <&Puppetmaster> If you know what I mean
[13:54:00] <@Hyperax> he doesn't even notice that
[13:54:12] <Balthazaar> "Coffin?"
[13:54:23] <@Hyperax> he doesn't relax until he's inside
[13:54:39] <@Hyperax> "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking Abyss, there are more of them"
[13:55:46] <~|PuNKCaT|> (I almost typed concubine)
[13:56:24] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio follows them silently and tries to listen to the conversation
[13:56:28] <Balthazaar> "What is consort?"
[13:56:34] <@Hyperax> "I... what?"
[13:56:42] <@Hyperax> "Its... what?"
[13:57:03] <@Hyperax> "Never mind that."
[13:57:18] <@Hyperax> "You know about vampires, right?"
[13:57:43] <Balthazaar> "You killed them after they tried to eat me."
[13:57:56] <@Hyperax> "They... sleep in coffins"
[13:58:21] <@Hyperax> "I... I think that woman was another vampire..."
[13:58:58] <&Puppetmaster> She was awful pale...
[13:59:03] <Balthazaar> Tiss looks worried. "... We must flee..."
[13:59:04] <&Puppetmaster> And there were bat noises...
[13:59:29] <@Hyperax> "... I was worried we would not make it out of there alive"
[14:00:23] <&Puppetmaster> One thing she did /not/ seem is hostile.
[14:00:58] <@Hyperax> "That we did... If it was one like the Baron we would not be so lucky"
[14:03:09] <@Hyperax> "Hmmm... Well, we could always go back to Fusou"
[14:05:20] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio frowns at that
[14:05:25] <Balthazaar> "I want to hide..."
[14:05:39] <@Hyperax> "Tiss... Its going to be ok."
[14:05:55] <@Hyperax> "Kond is a good captain, he'll think of something"
[14:07:04] <Balthazaar> "They'll take me and put me in a cage again!"
[14:07:28] <@Hyperax> "I... don't think any of us would let that happen"
[14:11:28] <Balthazaar> Tiss whines like a scared dog. She's not convinced
[14:13:04] <@Hyperax> "Hmmm..."
[14:13:12] <Balthazaar> If she had a tail, it'd be pressed to her belly in fear
[14:14:09] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio wrinkles her nose.. nothing else interesting happening here.. she will disobey honoured captain and go ashore now
[14:14:23] <@Hyperax> Taiki goes to try to comfort Tiss.
[14:14:37] <~|PuNKCaT|> (kees her!)
[14:15:10] <Balthazaar> Tiss backs herself into a corner and huddles. She has wide eyes, and slightly bared teeth
[14:15:26] <@Hyperax> "Tiss..."
[14:15:58] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio heads into the town
[14:16:05] <Balthazaar> "No. Tiss not here. Go away."
[14:17:49] <~|PuNKCaT|> d20+24 mio thinks maybe she is being followed
[14:17:50] <%Panic> |PuNKCaT|: mio thinks maybe she is being followed: 36 (d20+24=12)
[14:18:04] <@Hyperax> "... ok then..."
[14:20:25] <Balthazaar> She reaches out and grabs his hand
[14:22:20] <Balthazaar> "Don't let them cage me..."
[14:22:27] <@Hyperax> "I won't..."
[14:24:06] <&Puppetmaster> d20+36 Mio don't see shit
[14:24:08] <%Panic> Puppetmaster: Mio don't see shit: 44 (d20+36=8)
[14:24:25] <Balthazaar> Tiss looks up at him... She's crying a little, the tears cutting tracks in the dirt all over her face
[14:24:49] <@Hyperax> Taiki hugs
[14:25:54] <Balthazaar> She hugs Taiki. "I not crying..."
[14:26:45] <~|PuNKCaT|> Mio shrugs and walks demurely but swiftly into the town, she seems to know where she is going.. odd that
