To Scorn the Gods- Episode 5: Sickness and Death

(8:08:49 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: After a night of sleeping on the cold, hard floor of the church, the party awakens the next day... The young cleric is already awake, and he seems a bit more calm than he had been the previous day. A bit. He's not a stone-faced model of serenity, but at least he looks like he's not going to shake himself in half.
(8:13:21 PM) ***Aelitethe is still asleep.
(8:13:30 PM) Aelitethe: "... ... ..."
(8:13:40 PM) ***Bellezza_Felutia is also asleep.
(8:14:51 PM) ***Ulyssa is noticably...asleep. She's sleeping better than all the other times she's had to go to sleep, surely.
(8:15:42 PM) ***Artemis-XE is surprisingly, awake. He walks over towards the cleric, QUIETLY, and speaks in a whisper. "So, how are you feeling?"
(8:16:50 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Oh, um... Better than yesterday, certainly. I apologize if I was bothersome, but I've had more time to think now..." He speaks in a similarly quiet manner.
(8:17:29 PM) Artemis-XE: "Bothersome, nah, not really. But glad to hear you're feeling better, then."
(8:19:24 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "I see your companions are still asleep... I suppose your paladin training requires you to be up at early hours as well?"
(8:20:11 PM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe's body is sprawled out on her seat. She looks like she hasn't slept in a long time, barring now.
(8:20:31 PM) Artemis-XE: "Well, yeah. It's just something you get used to after a while. Besides, you never know when you could get stuck with graveyard shift patrols." He continues whispering, mind you.
(8:21:39 PM) Dragoshi is now known as Kineth
(8:25:41 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "I'm quite used to getting up early... I've trained for years to be a cleric." Silence, and then he looks over the others sleeping again. "...I can't help feeling as if there must be something I could do to help you in your quest, but these people need me here... It doesn't seem fair that after you saved us, you'll have to go straight into danger once more. Though I suppose perhaps with those two..." He trails off.
(9:04:08 PM) ***Aelitethe falls off her seat and to the ground with a THUD!
(9:04:58 PM) Aelitethe: "...Ow."
(9:05:07 PM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe wakes up.
(9:05:30 PM) Artemis-XE: Artemis looks over towards Aelitethe. "Are you alright?"
(9:05:48 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Oh! Oh dear... Are you alright, miss...?"
(9:06:07 PM) ***Bellezza_Felutia wakes up after hearing the thud, glancing at Aelitethe. "Ah.. are you okay?"
(9:06:13 PM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe stands up and dusts herself off. "I'm alright..."
(9:06:40 PM) Ulyssa: The painful sounding ow shakes Ulyssa from her own slumber as well. A tired sounding groan is heard, before she sits up.
(9:07:35 PM) ***Kineth has been awake for the past couple of minutes, though has been stretching out a little bit, off to the side, not really having anything to add to this conversation. :v
(9:09:31 PM) Ulyssa: ...And on seeing the priest(ly sort), wakes up a bit more, speaking to him. "Right...so...with how everything is, I should ask if you need food. I have spare, and this would be the best use for it." Nod. Also, she didn't really pack spare. Teehee.
(9:10:26 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "What? Oh, no, I can't acc-" He stops himself, shaking his head. "No, no, I have to accept, for all of us here... Are you sure?"
(9:15:19 PM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe blinks for a moment.
(9:15:50 PM) Ulyssa: After all, some people can actually GET FOOD BY KILLING INNOCENT WOODLAND CREATURES and maybe fruit. "Completely!" She digs in her HUGE BACKPACK for some generic food things that taste good without extra preparing/flavoring (since she doesn't know how good of a cook he is, better safe than dying from diseases), and gives some away!
(9:20:18 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Thank you... Thank you so much! If we ration ourselves enough, we should be able to at least make it back to the capital! Though... I don't know if that poor girl will survive the-" He stops himself. "No, no, I don't need to worry about that right now. Thank you so much!"
(9:22:08 PM) ***Bellezza_Felutia blinks. "..You don't need to worry about the poor girl?"
(9:22:30 PM) Aelitethe: "There has to be something I can do..."
(9:22:40 PM) Artemis-XE: "If you think you can make it back to the capital, wouldn't it be wise to take her with you?"
(9:22:57 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Er... No, I... Can we please not talk about my ineptitude at speech...?" He winces.
(9:23:12 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Oh, of course, yes... To leave her alone here would be certain death..."
(9:23:24 PM) Ulyssa: "...You could always take a look at her, Aelitethe. Since you're smart, you might be able to figure something out!"
(9:23:37 PM) Aelitethe: "I'm not that smart, but I could try..."
(9:23:44 PM) Artemis-XE: "It certainly is worth a shot."
(9:23:51 PM) ***Bellezza_Felutia ..is simply getting annoyed at this point. "Isn't it obvious the priest can't do anything about a poor sickly girl?"
(9:25:31 PM) Aelitethe: "Let me take a look at her."
(9:28:15 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Um... Oh, of course! This way, this way..." He beckons as he moves toward a door at the side of the room and opens it up. So long as the group follows, he'll lead them to a bedroom, in which a female child lies on the bed. "She's here..."
(9:29:30 PM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe begins to examine the child inquisitively, trying to figure out what she can do, if she can't just use magic on her, maybe there's some sort of medicine that could be made.
(9:31:30 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: She's asleep, but it doesn't seem a restful sleep. Some spots on her skin have a strange, almost yellowish pallor, in sharp contrast with the flushed red rash that covers the rest of her skin.
(9:31:41 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ...Aelitethe has heard of a disease like this!
(9:32:05 PM) Aelitethe: "Poor thing... I think I've heard of this disease..."
(9:33:07 PM) Bellezza_Felutia: "Ah.. really?"
(9:33:17 PM) Kineth: "...What is it, then?"
(9:33:21 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: It's called Scale Fever, because over its course the victim develops a rash that turns into almost red scales before it flakes off. It's normally not any more than severely unpleasant, and has a low fatality rate with even the most basic care- So long as the patient stays still and gets lots of rest. Any sort of travel changes the story entirely. She likely wouldn't last three days on the road.
(9:34:32 PM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe scratches her head. "Um... Scale Fever. You can see that she has rashes all over her body, and it'll flake off. It's pretty unpleasant, but if you were to have her travel, I doubt she'd last. We need to find medicine quickly. I think there should be..."
(9:36:06 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: There is a flower that is known to alleviate the effects of the illness and assist the body in fighting it, if the petals and roots are crushed and brewed into a tea. It doesn't require much sunlight, and usually grows near the entrance to caves in the elven forests...
(9:37:07 PM) ***Aelitethe fidgets and looks down to the ground, with a serious expression on her face.
(9:37:39 PM) Artemis-XE: "Is something wrong?"
(9:38:06 PM) Aelitethe: "...There's a flower that can help with making this child feel better. If I could get one, and use it to brew some tea for her, it should allow her to recover in some time. However... it grows near the entrance to some caves in the elven forests."
(9:38:30 PM) Aelitethe: "Hmm..."
(9:38:48 PM) Artemis-XE: "That... could very well pose an issue. But we can't just leave her like that, can we?"
(9:38:54 PM) Ulyssa: "...What's bad about the caves? It can't be worse than this, can it?"
(9:38:59 PM) Artemis-XE: "Wait, what are you thinking?"
(9:39:29 PM) Aelitethe: "Ulyssa, you want to go?"
(9:40:37 PM) Ulyssa: Ulyssa nods an affirmative nod. "We can't just let her die!"
(9:41:58 PM) Aelitethe: "To be fair, I don't want to see her in this state either. I will go with Ulyssa. Anyone have objections?"
(9:42:04 PM) Kineth: "None here."
(9:42:05 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: The elves are known to be... Less than kind to humans who breach their borders, and even less kind to half-elves. If caught, it depends entirely on who finds you whether you'll be killed on sight or simply escorted roughly to the edge of the forest. With that said, if you've judged the distance and direction you've traveled relative to the capital correctly, there should be a forest just two days' travel to the west....
(9:43:09 PM) Aelitethe: "Keep in mind the elves are not so nice to humans. They most likely despise my kind."
(9:43:42 PM) Bellezza_Felutia: "..ah."
(9:44:16 PM) Kineth: "Ah, yes... There is that."
(9:44:39 PM) Artemis-XE: "Of course."
(9:45:34 PM) Aelitethe: "After all, I was exiled from the forest I was born."
(9:45:47 PM) ***Aelitethe shrugs and laughs non-chalantly.
(9:46:38 PM) Bellezza_Felutia: "A..heh."
(9:50:19 PM) Ulyssa: The very idea of this slightly disturbs her. Aelitethe's reaction, too. ...Wait. Waait. "...Bellezza, are you coming with us?" No one has asked, and Ulyssa only realizes it now.
(9:50:54 PM) Bellezza_Felutia: "-Mm? Oh uhm.. sure." Nodnod.
(9:54:03 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "You... You'll risk the elves for this girl? Truly, you are as an angel from on high..."
(9:54:29 PM) Aelitethe: "We just need to be very careful. As long as we don't get caught, we should be OK."
(9:55:16 PM) Ulyssa: "A-alright." Bellezza, who comes from nowhere and just sticks around. ...And apparently not paying too much attention. "Right."
(9:55:30 PM) Kineth: "Sounds about right, yes."
(9:55:46 PM) Artemis-XE: "Be careful, of course."
(9:58:59 PM) XephyrEnigma [~MobileXep@Rizon-76C5DD72.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] entered the room.
(9:59:12 PM) Artemis-XE left the room (quit: Quit: movin upstairs again).
(10:00:06 PM) XephyrEnigma is now known as Artemis-XE
(10:05:19 PM) Aelitethe: "Okay, so..."
(10:11:55 PM) Aelitethe: "Shall we get going?"
(10:12:33 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Safe travels...  We'll wait one week for you. Any longer than that, and even this extra food won't be enough to last..."
(10:13:00 PM) Aelitethe: "We should hurry, then...!"
(10:13:04 PM) Ulyssa: "...Let's!" Just need to BE CAREFUL AS HECK. "...I don't know where the caves are, so lead the way! And...alright, we shouldn't be that long!" Right? Right. CONFIDENCE!
(10:13:16 PM) Aelitethe: "I'll try..."

(10:32:16 PM) You are now known as DEATH-INCARNATE
(10:59:04 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Artemis and Kineth watch as the other three leave, and they remain alone with the cleric and the few other survivors...
(11:15:32 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: The first three days of waiting are uneventful, though you may be comforted by the constant nervousness of the cleric. At least since its presence ensures the world hasn't turned inside out yet.
(11:19:00 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: At some point, the cleric finally says something, rather than just shaking in his own nerves the entire time. He approaches Artemis and Kineth, and asks... "Pardon me sirs. It only just occurred to me that I'm not sure I know your names... I-if you don't mind my asking..."
(11:19:52 PM) Artemis-XE: "Name's Artemis."
(11:20:02 PM) Artemis-XE: "What about you?"
(11:20:46 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Oh, I... Saken. Saken Naless..."
(11:20:54 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ...Naless? Wait, that sounds familiar
(11:21:03 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Wasn't that the high priest's last name...?
(11:22:02 PM) Artemis-XE: "That... sounds oddly familiar. You wouldn't be related to High Priest Naless, would you?"
(11:22:23 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "O-oh, um... Well... Yes. He's my father..."
(11:24:40 PM) Artemis-XE: "Ah... so it was his idea was it? For you to become a cleric?"
(11:25:50 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Oh, yes... Yes, it was. I would have loved to just have stayed in the libraries and become a scholar, but I couldn't disappoint him..."
(11:28:15 PM) Artemis-XE: "Well, to be honest, I think it suits you. You just lack a bit of confidence."
(11:29:02 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Y-you think being a scholar would suit me? Or that I'm suited to the clergy?"
(11:29:15 PM) Artemis-XE: "The clergy."
(11:29:49 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Ah... Perhaps. Regardless, it's the path I've chosen, so I can't go back on it..."
(11:32:29 PM) Kineth: "Just means you've got to make the best of it, right?"
(11:33:15 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "True enough."
(11:33:33 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ...Suddenly, there's a noise at the front door! ...A lot of noises, in fact.
(11:33:42 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Scratching and banging, unrelenting...
(11:33:51 PM) Kineth: "...Oh boy, more of them."
(11:34:21 PM) Artemis-XE: "Damn it. We've got trouble."
(11:37:57 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "O-oh no... What do we do...?" The wood of the front door starts splintering under the onslaught. You can hear it.
(11:38:37 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: After a moment, Saken turns toward the survivors in the back. "Quickly, into the side hallway! We'll hold them here!" ...He's shaking even as he says it.
(11:38:43 PM) Artemis-XE: "Stay calm, Saken. This is what you've been training for."
(11:39:48 PM) Kineth: Kineth nods. "Besides, you have a good idea there. We should be able to hold them off a bit more easily that way."
(11:39:58 PM) Kineth: (Err)
(11:40:00 PM) Kineth: (I misread)
(11:40:07 PM) Kineth: (Strike that.)
(11:40:30 PM) Artemis-XE: (Makes sense from where im lying)
(11:41:00 PM) Kineth: (...oh yeah nevermind. :v)
(11:41:15 PM) Kineth: (Bluh,)
(11:46:20 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "If we simply open the door, they'll flood in... If we let them break it, we'll have little defense against subsequent waves... I..." He approaches the door cautiously, and steps in front of it. ...Suddenly, he folds his hands together, praying.
(11:49:21 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Suddenly, a light shines out from him, almost blinding. You can hear outside faint, rasping shrieks... They sound quiet individually, but there's a huge number of them.
(11:49:25 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: And then the doors open.
(11:51:44 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ...Artemis! You need to react quickly, or the remaining undead will swarm in!
(11:55:29 PM) Artemis-XE: Artemis thinks to himself for a moment. Now is as good a time as any to do this... he says a prayer, before striking at one of the zombies with his longsword! [Activate Smite Evil]
(11:57:36 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: He takes down the zombie! Unfortunately, he doesn't get the chance to take down any others just yet, as his sword gets stuck inside.
(11:57:39 PM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Kineth!
(5/18/2012 12:01:03 AM) Kineth: ('k, just a sec.)
(12:03:18 AM) Kineth: Kineth takes a deep breath, before letting out a yell as charges out into the undead hordes, going to tear into the mass of zombies with a brutal swing of his greatsword! (Rage -> Power Swing -> Cleave, if the first attack succeeds)
(12:03:22 AM) Kineth: *Power Strike
(12:09:49 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Kineth's first strike crushes the head of a zombie instantly, and his momentum carries him right through two more!
(12:11:17 AM) Artemis-XE left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(12:11:40 AM) XephyrEnigma [~MobileXep@Rizon-76C5DD72.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] entered the room.
(12:12:42 AM) XephyrEnigma is now known as Artemis-XE
(12:20:45 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: The swarm of undead surges forward, but Artemis manages to let his armor take most of the blows. Two skeletons slip past and harass Saken, but he is successful in dodging their onslaught. Kineth is mostly successful in fending the undead off as well, but he gets one nasty slam from a zombie, and a claw across the chest from a skeleton
(1:01:13 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Saken prays, the light shining once more, and the two skeletons near  him flee! As do just a couple more of the ones near the others, and a single zombie.
(1:01:22 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ARTEMIS!
(1:03:43 AM) ***Artemis-XE says another prayer, readying his longsword to slash at the skeleton group this time. [Activate Smite Evil]
(1:05:51 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: He manages to go through two skeletons, despite their resistance to his blade!
(1:05:54 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: WHAT WILL KINETH DO
(1:07:48 AM) Genshuku [~Genshuku@Rizon-3227C6A1.hsd1.il.comcast.net] entered the room.
(1:09:10 AM) Kineth: Do you even need to ask? He of course continues his assault on the zombie group, tearing into them with another overpowering swing of his blade, attempting to use the momentum gained to tear apart even more of the undead masses! (Power Strike -> Cleave, if blow connects)
(1:10:35 AM) Ulyssa left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
(1:12:15 AM) Genshuku is now known as Ulyssa
(1:18:00 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Kineth storms through the last four zombies, slashing them apart!
(1:22:53 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: The remaining skeletons swarm around the three. Two more slip past toward Saken, but he dodges again! ...Kineth is considerably less lucky, and gets quite scratched up. He is... In pain.
(1:25:41 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "O-oh... This is... Oh dear..."
(1:26:10 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Saken prays again, trying desperately to get rid of the last of these evil creatures! Only one besides the two near him flee however
(1:26:17 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ARTEMIS! There's about eight left
(1:27:31 AM) ***Artemis-XE opts for a change in arms. He readies his hammer, to smash the remaining corpseclown brigade.
(1:30:10 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: He smashes quite well, and he and Kineth both mop up!
(1:31:37 AM) Artemis-XE: Art is somewhat tired after the whole ordeal.
(1:31:59 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "That was... Oh, I hope I helped... You two were amazing! Truly!"
(1:32:37 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ...Blink. "Oh, sir! You're hurt!" He rushes over to Kineth and mutters a quick prayer, touching him and healing his wounds.
(1:32:50 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "...Oh! I-I'm sorry, I hope I wasn't presumptuous..."
(1:33:43 AM) Artemis-XE: "Of course it wasnt all us... you really proved yourself tonight." He says, extending a closed fist in front of him. (I belive you know what im going for.)
(1:33:48 AM) Artemis-XE: "
(1:34:06 AM) Kineth: Kineth nods in response to Artemis. "Indeed. You helped lighten the load quite a bit, there."
(1:34:27 AM) Kineth: "I don't think we would've been as lucky if you weren't around."
(1:34:42 AM) Kineth: *as fortunate
(1:34:48 AM) Artemis-XE: "No, probably not."
(1:35:11 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Oh, good... I'm glad I could be useful. That was horrifying... Are there going to be even more like that...?"
(1:35:56 AM) Kineth: "Hopefully, not for a good while. In any case, I do hope the rest of our group gets back safely..."
(1:36:04 AM) Kineth: *gets back here
(1:36:34 AM) Artemis-XE: "Yes, lets hope they return safely."
(1:37:59 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Hah... Now I think I understand why they sent you two to help. I've never seen anything like that..."
(1:56:04 AM) Artemis-XE left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(1:56:17 AM) XephyrEnigma [~MobileXep@Rizon-76C5DD72.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] entered the room.
(1:56:53 AM) XephyrEnigma is now known as Artemis-XE
(2:15:23 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: The day passes, and then another. And on the next, Saken sits on the front step of the church waiting... Anxious. They can't wait much longer... He worries they'll be half-starved by the time they reach the capital as it is. But... He can't abandon the little girl either.
(2:15:51 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ...And then, he sees them. Finally, the three have returned,  just as he recognized them...
(2:16:34 AM) Aelitethe: "Finally! ..."
(2:17:17 AM) Artemis-XE: "Glad to see your return, everyone."
(2:17:22 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Miss Bellezza, miss-!" Saken calls out excitedly upon seeing them. "Oh, I'm so glad you've returned... Do you have the medicine?!"
(2:17:34 AM) Aelitethe: "I have arrived with the flower. Please give me some time to prepare it!
(2:17:37 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "...Of course we do." Belle answers.
(2:18:30 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Saken is delighted. "Oh, of course! Please, let me know of any assistance you may need... I'll stay out of the way now!"
(2:18:47 AM) Aelitethe: "I'll need a mortar and pestle and something which I can boil water with."
(2:19:02 AM) ***Ulyssa is...well, clearly happy to be back!
(2:19:19 AM) Ulyssa: "It was...kind of rough, but we managed!"
(2:19:30 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: He stands to the side of the church door, and nods at Aelitethe's request. "Of course, of course... We should have something like that! Let me go inside, and I can find it..."
(2:19:32 AM) Kineth: "Glad to hear that everything's gone well, then."
(2:19:41 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: He slips back inside and goes somewhere past the side hallway
(2:20:19 AM) ***Aelitethe looks at her flower, and surmises she'll need to clean the plant first before crushing the petals and roots before brewing it...
(2:22:05 AM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe decides to go inside and find a suitable spot to do her work.
(2:22:11 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Saken comes back out before long, dragging what looks like half an alchemy lab behind him.
(2:22:25 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Let me know if anything's missing!"
(2:22:37 AM) Aelitethe: ...Or she can just stay outside and look at the massive amount of resources available to her.
(2:22:47 AM) Aelitethe: "...Ah! Ahh... um... Wow."
(2:22:57 AM) Aelitethe: "I can definitely do it with this. Please wait patiently!"
(2:23:34 AM) ***Aelitethe gets to work, preparing the flower. She opts to disinfect it through water-boiling first of all.
(2:23:39 AM) ***Ulyssa watches intently. LEARNING THINGS!
(2:23:58 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Oh, I'm glad! I'd never thought this would have been so useful... Good thing I brought it with me here!"
(2:24:12 AM) Aelitethe: "...You brought this with you here? Are you sure you're not an alchemist?"
(2:24:36 AM) Artemis-XE: "He's a clergyman."
(2:24:38 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "U-um, well... I do some alchemy in my spare time, yes! It's difficult to gather reagents out here though..."
(2:25:19 AM) Aelitethe: "He's a clergyman with a penchant for alchemy. I can definitely respect that." Aelitethe says as she finds the cleansing of the plant suitable, before starting to pick off the petals and prepare the root of the flower for CRUSHING.
(2:28:41 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Aelitethe is able to brew the tea very quickly with the equipment given. It almost seems simple with all these tools!
(2:29:21 AM) Aelitethe: "Okay! Thank you for these tools! I've prepared the tea now, I'll give it to the poor girl."
(2:30:19 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Very well! Right this way~" ...Is he actually happy and not stuttering? What madness is this.
(2:30:34 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: One that leads to the bedroom where the girl is resting, certainly!
(2:31:57 AM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe soon approaches the girl, with the tea.
(2:32:15 AM) ***Ulyssa follows! She'd like to see her recovery.
(2:33:18 AM) Aelitethe: "Alright... I brought some medicine for you. Please drink this, and you should feel better soon...!"
(2:34:01 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: The girl seems to still be asleep. The illness has progressed far enough to see the reason for its name clearly- The rash is almost solid, truly appearing as if they were the red scales of a reptile. The spots that the rash hasn't affected are a strange, almost bright yellow.
(2:34:16 AM) Aelitethe: "...Oh dear..."
(2:34:43 AM) Aelitethe: "Can someone help me here?"
(2:35:09 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Um... Maybe I can? What do you need?"
(2:35:28 AM) Aelitethe: "She's still asleep. The disease is getting worse. Need to feed this to her."
(2:36:38 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Ah, alright... Is there anything special I need to do? Should I prop her up and lean her head back?"
(2:36:53 AM) Aelitethe: "Anything to make it easier for me to feed this to her with little discomfort for her."
(2:36:58 AM) Aelitethe: "That might be nice..."
(2:38:53 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Saken nods, and does as he had suggested. The girl's breathing changes, slightly, and it sounds as if she's awoken... However, she isn't strongly responsive. This looks to be a rather serious case...
(2:39:27 AM) Aelitethe: "P, p, please take this." Aelitethe looks at the girl with a very concerned look on her face as she attempts to have the girl drink some of the floral tea.
(2:40:09 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: The girl is able to swallow the tea! It seems to be more reflexive than conscious, but at least it's something.
(2:40:26 AM) Aelitethe: "I'm sorry if it doesn't taste good, but it'll make you feel better. I promise."
(2:41:00 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: She doesn't say anything, but she doesn't protest in any way either. She'll drink the tea so long as it's given to her.
(2:41:24 AM) ***Aelitethe has the girl drink everything, albeit slowly and not all at once
(2:42:20 AM) ***Ulyssa watches, with concern this time! She'll be alright, right?
(2:43:24 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: The girl drinks it all up!
(2:43:55 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: There doesn't look to be any immediate improvement, but then, there aren't any appreciable amounts of magic in the medicine either. It should take at least a day before she's ready to be moved.
(2:44:24 AM) ***Aelitethe puts away the now-empty vessel off to the side and steps back to give the girl some room. "She should rest for now, but I believe she'll recover quickly."
(2:45:41 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Thank you so much... I would never have forgiven myself if she had died under my care. I'm sure her parents are happy..."
(2:47:11 AM) Aelitethe: "It's not a problem."
(2:47:19 AM) Ulyssa: The fate of said parents is...Corellus only knows. Aaaaa. In any case, Ulyssa breathes a sigh of relief! That could have been worse!
(2:48:25 AM) ***Aelitethe coughs.
(2:48:34 AM) Aelitethe: "My mind is itching for some..."
(2:48:47 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: "Some...? What is it? Is there anything I can get you?"
(2:48:55 AM) Aelitethe: "Give me a moment, please. I will be outside."
(2:49:09 AM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe takes the time to excuse herself and stand outside, by the doors of the church.
(2:50:08 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: Saken stays inside, but... Belle actually follows her!
(2:51:11 AM) Ulyssa: ...That's odd. While she does want to go follow her, she excused herself alone for a reason. And what if that reason is--just wait for her--wait why......did they negotiate something? Is this because she could turn into a wolf? This is...just wait for her dammit.
(2:52:30 AM) Aelitethe: Aelitethe, now standing outside, clears her throat, and sings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfWusmGvT04
(2:52:44 AM) Kineth: (Knew it was gonna be music times)
(2:54:10 AM) ***Ulyssa , if she can hear...listens!
(2:56:09 AM) DEATH-INCARNATE: ...Belle stands there, listening. He stays close to Aelitethe, but tries not to be in the way. The song seems so familiar in some way... It's calming. ...It makes him feel like he belongs somewhere. With someone... It's strange.
