Rasputin Scoots

04:41:20: <Felicia> Alexei, Rock and Tentra are discussing what to do. Jack is sitting in his chair watching as the Pawniard is freed from its ball. As the others become more interested in the pokemon than him Savage notices him stand and begin to leave. Jack turns back, his almost blank black mask, save for the brokenedge smile stares at Savage. two blue eyes swirl into being. They match his own. Jack walks
04:41:20: <Felicia> down the stairs leading out.
04:43:11: <Savage> Savage blinks in surprise at Jack leaving; he'd only been sort of half paying attention to things since he'd only come into the conversation halfway. Still, the others seemed distracted... and it wasn't like they ever noticed when he wasn't there anyway, it seemed. So while the others did their thing, he started following Jack in curiosity.
04:45:33: <Felicia> It is odd how clearly you can see Jack. A stark difference than when he was upstairs. He stands infront of where Alexei took down the tapestries. Even standing infront of a moldymothimeaten one. Before moving on into the deeper dark of the Fort.
04:46:30: <Felicia> Jack for the most part seems to be ignoring you. Or has yet to notice
04:49:58: Savage seems to think he's stealthy and keeps following. He hasn't had much of a chance to just look around here yet, so... this is kind of interesting
04:51:43: <Felicia> The entire area has a fine layer of dust. Well, whereever you all haven't been and wasn't affected by the bomb going off. The deeper you go in the less you can see and the more the air feels stale. The walls are adorned with tapesries and wall hangings depecting events in history. Eventually Jack ducks himself into a door way out of your sight. Investigate Tapestries? Or Follwo jack?
04:53:38: <Savage> It occurs to Savage he's likely to lose Jack if he doesn't keep following him. These are kind of interesting! But they'll have to wait; so he picks up the pace a bit to chase, the air making him cough a little. He doesn't take too well to old air D:
04:53:56: <Felicia> (Savage hate all old things.)
04:56:20: <Felicia> As he enters the room Savage can see jack sitting at another table. Very similar to the one upstairs. But smaller, and if anything finer carved. It has something carved into the table top as well as little figures on the supports. Several men and pokemon working together to hold the table up. Jack is looking at the door way as you enter. There are no tapestries and only four chairs and
04:56:20: <Felicia> the table in the room. Other wise it is bare.
04:59:55: <Savage> "...Huhn," Savage remarks, finally voicing himself to Jack as he enters. "Hey. Long time no see."
05:01:12: <Felicia> "Only on your end. I have seen you all quite a bit."
05:02:26: <Savage> "Oh." Frown. "Then you should say hi more often," Savage takes a seat for himself, surprisingly. "I'm pretty sure you're not our enemy so you should be more friendly."
05:03:25: <Felicia> "Well I can never tell with you all. Never know if I'll be welcomed or shot at." The black mask fades and you can see a normal human face. Old. Wrinkled. A few days unshaved. He looks very tired.
05:05:31: <Savage> Savage laughs at this; although it's actually a fairly hollow laughter. "That... yeah. I don't even know who I'm supposed to be raising my fists to either."
05:05:49: <Savage> "...Or if I should be raising them at all, really."
05:05:58: <Felicia> Jack shrugs. "That is one of the natures of war."
05:06:35: <Savage> "Well, I guess, but... this isn't a war! ...I think."
05:07:50: <Felicia> He shrugs again. "If not a war what would you call everything that is happening?"
05:09:40: <Savage> Silence. Savage doesn't seem to be able to come up with an answer, although it's very clear he's trying.
05:10:53: <Felicia> "Oh to be sure it is or was a very subtle one. I would venture to say most people have no idea what is happening. General public ignoring what they don't want to see and all those cliches."
05:12:31: <Felicia> "What has you doubting Pytor?"
05:19:47: <Savage> "...That old... the grove..." Savage shivers a little, but seems to collect himself. "...That... that's what war was supposed to be, isn't it? All of them looked busy fighting and..." he frowned. "I don't want it to get to that."
05:25:17: <Felicia> "No one ever wants those sorts of battles. Well, no one sane for that matter. We'll. What do you want then?"
05:26:39: <Savage> "I've... got a lot of kids pinning their hopes on me," Savage leans back a little and thinks. Seems he's having to consider this himself, or maybe he's just not sure how to word it. "I promised them I'd create a league so they could pursue their dreams. That's what I'm here for."
05:27:20: <Savage> "...But somehow it feels like, if things keep going as they are... it won't be something people that can make people smile."
05:28:07: <Felicia> "You know who leads the League? The man who employed you?"
05:28:51: <Savage> "Yeah, I... I do."
05:29:30: <Felicia> "Do you know who he really is?"
05:34:18: <Savage> "...He lead the rebellion several years ago, didn't he?" The implications do not seem to have settled in on Savage yet
05:35:14: <Felicia> "Yes. Do not be misinformed. The Revolution needed to happen. The way things were before were destroying the region. But, what that man did after it was all said and done. That. I cannot forgive."
05:36:46: <Savage> "...Nobody's given me an answer about what he did that I could really understand!" Savage admits, managing a bit of a smile but it's almost... frustrated? "I mean I've only gotten one answer but... I don't quite get it."
05:37:03: <Savage> "And it's not like I really like fighting people like we just did... well, not really."
05:37:54: <Felicia> "He arranged the death of your Father, and half brother and sister. Had he known about you, he would have had you killed as well."
05:39:16: <Savage> "...!"
05:39:23: <Savage> Savage shuts up and bites his lip
05:41:22: <Felicia> "He arranged for he personal guard. The Red Eyes to make it look like an accident. A burst gas mane. But no. He arranged their deaths. During the Masquerade. Most did not survive."
05:43:03: <Savage> "...I see." Savage doesn't seem to be able to come up with much more than that for a moment. "It's funny, it's not like I actually knew them..." but his fists are clenching on the table, clearly finishing that sentence for him.
05:44:30: <Felicia> Jack smiles. "You still have a chance with your half siblings. Though your sister isn't the warmest of people."
05:45:07: <Savage> "...They're still alive, huh?" Savage seems a little surprised; seems he really wasn't paying attention eariler. "Well, that's... good, but..."
05:45:49: <Felicia> "Of course, they are the heads of Triface but I am sure you can take it in stride."
05:46:12: <Savage> "...Huhn."
05:46:23: <Savage> He does seem to, though it's probably more just that he doesn't know -what- to make of that
05:51:21: <Felicia> "Hah, caught off guard a bit, eh? You do have more family than you think."
05:51:49: <Savage> "Uncle mentioned my family, so I do know some, just..." thinkthink. Thinkthink. Thinkthink.
05:52:23: <Savage> Which is then interrupted by an unintelligible monkeyscreech as Savage digs his hands into his hair and leans back. Seems he's frustrated.
05:53:30: <Felicia> Jack just start to chuckle. "You remind me of him some. Not everything. Just little things like this."
05:54:58: <Savage> "Huh?" he looks kind of goofy since his mood changes but his pose hasn't really. "Remind you of who?"
05:55:22: <Felicia> "My brother."
05:56:34: <Savage> "Oh, I see," Savage relaxes himself a little, seemingly well enough distracted. "...I really don't know that much about you, come to think of it."
05:57:07: <Felicia> "Very few people do. It pays to be 'dark and mysterious'." he even does little air quotes.
05:58:02: <Savage> "Well, I guess, but that kind of sucks. I mean you know a lot about me, it's not very fair~" he crosses his arms and pouts.
05:58:53: <Felicia> Jack grins "Last time I got close people tried to poison me, they shot me and even rolled me in a rug and tried to drown me. To be fair I wasn't exactly being an upstanding individual but I was playing my part."
06:00:49: <Savage> "Oh. Well, I don't like doing that kind of thing! Really, that sounds horrible."
06:00:52: <Savage> "And you seem alright to me."
06:01:15: <Felicia> "History paints me in a bit of a different light. Everytime."
06:03:15: <Savage> "Well, if you don't tell anyone, of course people are gonna make stuff up about you. Even if it's rude." he shrugs.
06:03:56: <Felicia> "Fair enough. But what if I did, and they think it a farce? Would it not be better to try and do without being recognized?"
06:05:49: <Savage> "Well... ... stop asking tough questions, I'm bad at this hypothetical stuff!"
06:06:31: <Felicia> He chuckles again. "It is more than the eyes. You even have similar mannerisms. Pytor, Savage. Do you want to be King?"
06:09:41: <Savage> "...Huh?"
06:10:16: <Felicia> "Do you want to be king? A fairly straight forward question."
06:10:24: <Savage> "Yeah, it is, but it's still tough!"
06:10:54: <Savage> "...I mean, I don't think right now I'd make a very good one. And... I don't know if I'd want to be, but, y'know..."
06:11:26: <Savage> "If it's what I had to do, I would, but..."
06:11:45: <Savage> he falls sort of a silent, not able to really settle on an answer.
06:14:19: <Felicia> Jack nods. "You don't have to answer now. Just know there is going to be those who ask you. And will keep asking you. You could be a very fine king. So could your brother. Or your sister could usher in a new age of prosperity. But at what cost? Of course. There always is another option...If you look hard enough."
06:16:09: <Savage> "Well, yeah. I'm looking for another answer to things as is," Savage nods, and goes back to thinkthink. As though he'll actually come up with something.
06:19:22: <Felicia> Jack stands up. "Well. Did you need anything from me. I think your friends are getting ready to leave."
06:20:59: <Savage> "...No, I don't think so, but..." Savage stands himself back up and ponders for a moment.
06:21:31: <Savage> "...No. There's something I wanna ask but I can't quite pin it down," he grumbles a little, and sighs. "But I am serious, you should say hi more often!"
06:22:05: <Felicia> A Kecleon shimmers into view next to Savage. "Keeeec." Jack nods, "I am always around."
06:23:27: <Felicia> "Oh. And check behind my chair. There might be something for you there." Jack shimmers out of view along with the lizard.
06:24:01: <Savage> "Well, alright then!" Savage nods. And just kinda watches Jack fade out before getting up and going looking.
06:26:30: <Felicia> A simple red rod sits behind the chair. Each end has a golden tip.
06:27:41: <Felicia> Take the Rod?
06:28:03: <Savage> "...?"
06:28:06: <Savage> >Savage: Take Rod
06:29:09: <Felicia> You feel a slight pulse as you take the rod and a brief glimmer of light. You aquired...Something.
06:29:27: <mikaela> (thou art I and I art thou)
06:29:40: <KujiUn> (Oh god what)
06:29:54: <KujiUn> (It's an Evoker? XD)
06:30:14: <Felicia> (no sillies. It is the Ruyi Jingu Bang maybe)
06:30:16: <Savage> Savage has acquired the Ruyi Jingu Bang?
06:30:24: <Felicia> Maybe.
06:30:27: <Savage> Maybe.
06:30:35: <KujiUn> (XD)
06:30:52: <castfromhp> (the Persona reference is sillier is all~)
06:31:09: <Felicia> The staff is light weight and feels like just another part of your body. Wait did it get longer?
06:31:09: Savage takes it with him and departs~
06:31:30: <Savage> "...?" he gives it a couple swings in curiosity as he walks, though. Huhn. He swore it did a thing.
06:31:45: <CounterBeard> But nope. back to the rod length. Weird
06:32:57: <CounterBeard> and /mini.
