Kiata left the chat
Alena looked at Ayrick annoyed, but sheathed her sword
Alena rolled a die with 10 sides. The die showed: 10

Alena rolled a die with 10 sides. The die showed: 9
Alena rolled a die with 10 sides. The die showed: 1
Alena rolled a die with 10 sides. The die showed: 7
Sarisan: I meant simply that we should camp, and if the need arises, you could use Kilik to get her to a cleric faster.
Alena rolled a die with 10 sides. The die showed: 2
Alena rolled a die with 10 sides. The die showed: 2
Alena rolled a die with 10 sides. The die showed: 8
Alena rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 3
Alena: (10, 10, 10, 9, 7, 2, 2, 8,)
Alena: (damn... good rolls xD)
Ayrick: No, A cleric wouldn't help her pain.. This is emotional. And my friend here didn't exactly help that.
Alena looked at Ayrick very hurt.
Alena: More like former girlfriend you asshole.
Ayrick looked at Alena and sighed, not sure what to say. He looked at Sarisan.
Sarisan: .... Just one question?
Ayrick: Yeah, anyways. Let's talk and walk, get to camp and relax.
Ayrick smiled with that stressed look of, "I could kill someone but I really don't want to...."
Sarisan: How is it I, looking the way I do, rarely attract women....Well, depending on the.... that is to say I do if I put forth... I mean I'm not a total....
Sarisan frowns. Tongue-tied wasn't a normal occurance.
Sarisan: I? Talk my way into and out of things for a living, and get next to nothing in feminine comfort.
Ayrick: You're saying men adore you? I get the same treatment because I have the looks of a pretty boy but lack the charm.
Sarisan: You, despite more or less average looks, carry a big sword and get all of the women.
Sarisan: No! That's not what I-
Sarisan facepalms.
Ayrick: Average looks? Um. If I have average looks. Why do I get every goddamn gay man I meet hitting on me?
Alena snickered
Sarisan: You apparently receive more attention in ALL facets.
Alena: Ayrick, just. Just stop talking about gay men. You'll only make it look worse.
Sarisan: Well, you must be pretty to some, it's hardly your charming and sunny demeanor....
Sarisan chuckled. He was toying around, by now.
Ayrick looked at him confused,
Ayrick: You assume far too much on a first meeting.
Alena rolled her eyes, smiling at Sarisan
Alena: It's the fact he's a REAL man. ... Who secretly likes gay men.
Sarisan: You assume that it's our first meeting, for one, and for another that it takes years to learn a person.
Ayrick glared at Alena then chuckled lightly,
Ayrick: Yeah you're not helping
Ayrick looked at Sarisan
Sarisan: People, on the whole, are frighteningly easy to categorize.
Ayrick: Well, I certainly don't remember meeting you before. So, yes. It's our first meeting more than likely. And you certainly don't know me either. So please, stop acting like you do.
Sarisan: Now, obviously, I won't be spot on all the time with a broad generalization. But your mannerisms give away enough already.
Sarisan: I mean the girl shows obvious loyalty....
Ayrick: Well, good for you. Now, I'm going to relax at camp before you start playing 20 fucking questions.
Sarisan: Though the somewhat brash nature, the sword and the appearance....
Sarisan: Sword for hire, they're common enough, but obviously one with a penchant for the wilderness, perhaps newfound.
Ayrick looked at Sarisan and said.
Sarisan: The boots tell me about the wilderness bit....
Sarisan: Well, and a few other factors.
Ayrick: Ok, look. Now you're just pissing me off. Size me up, analyze me all you want. I don't give a shit. I'm not in the mood to hear about it. Talk about something else. Or just shut the hell up. Alright?
Sarisan gets quiet, muttering to himself...
Sarisan "Defensive, hostility... the bad day is apparent, but maybe prone to rash actions overall...."
Ayrick thought to himself, "Ah.... Much better. Now I can hear myself think." Lyus thought back, "THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS! YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIEND!"
Ayrick gaze snapped to Lyus,
Ayrick: Shut up. Or you're in trouble for eating my steak.
Sarisan "Hmm... Wolf is an interesting companion, definite wilderness. Definite."
Ayrick Lyus looked at Sarisan rather amused and approached him
Alena: Why... Are you talking to a wolf?
Sarisan glanced down at the wolf.
Alena asked confused
Ayrick Lyus moved closer and started sniffing Sarisan's leg. (Roll sense motive on the wolf.)
Sarisan: {.... Lack of Skills, remember? It's going to be one of my maxed, so min like +10}
Sarisan rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 8
Sarisan: {18 or higher?}
Ayrick: (ok, how wis based is he going to be?)
Ayrick: (Like, gimme a ballpark rough estimate, 12 wis, 14, or 10?)
Sarisan: {Primary Cha, Secondary Wis.}
Sarisan: {14 ish, most likely?}
Ayrick: (Ok, I'll treat the roll as a 20)
Ayrick: {You get the feeling. You should probably keep your boots. Away from the wolf...}
Ayrick Lyus was sniffing a little faster now. A small smirk on the wolf's face
Sarisan does just that....
Sarisan: Oh no no no....
Ayrick Lyus looked at Sarisan and gave him a toothy wolf grin
Sarisan: These are mine, *NOT* yours to mark.
Alena laughed
Ayrick grinned at Sarisan and chuckled very lightly,
Sarisan: .... Perhaps I should've ignored the poor girl.......
Sarisan glanced around at his company. He'd be amazed if he lived through the night, let alone if he left unscathed.
Ayrick: Yeah I'd keep an eye on him if I were you. He's kinda fearless. And, truthfully. It's like this here. If there's any ill intent towards this woman. I'll kill you. If you honestly are just,or were going to help. I thank you personally. Ok?
Sarisan grumbled.
Alena: (Time skip to camp?)
Sarisan: Was I or was I not sitting there with her, when you two arrived in a blaze of long-lost-loving glory?
Sarisan: {Sounds like a plan.}
Sarisan: She *was* getting her wits about her....
Alena looked jealous again
Sarisan: {You hit Saris's *ONE* pet peeve. x'D}
Ayrick sighed and lit a cigar, offering one to Sarisan
Ayrick: Want one?
Ayrick: (What's that?)
Ayrick: (Sarisan has been stepping on a few of Ayrick's buttons already xD It's just magnified due to the bad day)
Sarisan: {A chat of his that has a goal, getting ruined (in his eyes) by some incompetent buffoons. x'D}
Ayrick: (Oh, he was told to shut up and was interrupted before he could get a good read on people XD)
Ayrick: (Ok, I think i see how that would irritate him)
Sarisan: {Namely, talking this girl back to a semblance of calm, and the moment you two show up it all goes to shit and she's passed out again.}
Ayrick: (So, does Sarisan smoke?)
Ayrick: (Kinda need that before time skipping for the little details)
Sarisan: {Also, yeah. A total uninterested look at his people-identifying skills.}
Sarisan: No thanks, I don't smoke.
Ayrick shrugged and offered it to Alena
Alena smiled at Ayrick eyeing him up and down, taking the cigar and putting it in her mouth suggestively
Ayrick ignored the gesture completely and just walked in silence to the camp.
Ayrick: (So going to have to have Alena statted before next session with lucky, I see a fight xDF)
Sarisan: {x'D}
Sarisan: {Same with Saris for diplomatic reasons.}
Ayrick set Kiata down carefully beside him putting her in the bed roll. He looked rather affectionately at her and kissed her on the forehead saying softly
Ayrick: Sleep tight.
Ayrick sighed and took a drag of the cigar of his down to.... oh, about halfway. He looked at Sarisan considerably more relaxed now that they were at camp.
Ayrick: Hey, sorry about earlier. Just, stressful day. It got to me.
Alena was looking INCREDIBLY jealous not saying anything.
Alena stood up
Alena: I'm going for a walk. I'll be back later.
Alena: (Roll a sense motive on Alena Sarisan)
Sarisan rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 14
Ayrick looked at her and said pretty irritated,
Ayrick: Yeah you do that.
Sarisan: {26, ish?}
Alena: {You pick up that Alena was trying to hold back some tears and was going to leave the camp to get rid of those}
Sarisan: Do you...have a name?
Sarisan said, addressing Alena.
Ayrick had a hand on Kiata protectively. Looking at her concerned. He took a deep breath.
Sarisan: {Wait, Ayrick used it before, right? Nevermind.}
Sarisan: Ms... Alena? Aleena?
Alena looked at him with a slight distrust.
Alena: Yeah?
Sarisan: If you feel like talking, later... I'll be around.
Sarisan shrugs.
Sarisan: We'll see.
Sarisan looked to Ayrick. He wasn't about to embarrass her like that in front of him.
Alena shot a glance at Ayrick. Too concerned about her to even care how she was feeling. She looked at Sarisan and said,
Alena: Yeah, we'll see. I'll be back in a few.
Alena turned to go
Sarisan: So... Erik?
Sarisan: No, longer...
Sarisan: Ayrick.
Sarisan: There we are.
Ayrick looked at Sarisan with a slightly amused look.
Sarisan: I pride myself on getting names right.
Ayrick: Don't worry. I don't feel like ripping people's heads off anymore. I can actually talk civilly now. So what's up?
Sarisan shrugs...
Sarisan: I still think I could tell you a lot about yourself....
Sarisan grumbled half-heartedly.
Ayrick: Just, don't. That is a huge pet peeve of mine. I hate when people assume they know me when they've only met me once.
Ayrick: So, why don't you get more women?
Sarisan: It's not an assumption of knowing your character.
Ayrick: ...
Ayrick sighed and took a drag of his cigar. Didn't this guy get it? It's a pet peeve. He was up front about it.
Sarisan: It's a broad explanation of your basic personality, which in turn is what I use in my work.
Sarisan: I'm a diplomat, technically.
Sarisan: I oversee relations between factions, etc. etc.
Sarisan: Sizing people up is what I do, and as a fighter, I bet you'd find it damn useful.
Sarisan sighs.
Ayrick nodded. Ok, so.... This guy still didn't get the hint. ... Fine. He thought to Lyus, "Well you could have told me earlier you heard my thoughts" Lyus replied, "The other way was more amusing." Ayrick looked at Sarisan and shook his head, thinking to Lyus, "Hey keep an eye on him. I'm going to sleep. Maybe then he'll get the hint."
Ayrick: Don't assume you know what I'd find useful. Learn to take a hint. It's a pet peeve. I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me.
Sarisan: But, if you aren't interested, we can discuss something besides the fact that the dirt on your boots tells me you've been spending time in the wild recently, but the fairly unworn treads mean you haven't been travelling so extensively as to be an outdoorsman....
Ayrick laid back against a tree, a hand near Kiata so if she moved he'd feel it.
Sarisan looked him over.
Sarisan: Hey! You can know where an opponent's thinking of striking by his weigh displacement......
Ayrick Lyus Looked at Sarisan and made it clear he was keeping watch. Then positioned himself in front of Kiata and laid down looking at Sarisan directly in the eye
Sarisan trailed off.
Sarisan: ....We can talk about my lack of women.....
Ayrick heard what he said as he was trying to sleep but dismissed it. Knew it already. Watch the chest to see where the shoulders go, the walk can identify a fighter when other signs can't. Blah blah blah... This guy was getting on his nerves since he couldn't take a hint. He tuned Sarisan out
Ayrick: (Not trying to be a dick with Ayrick, just being in character xD)
Ayrick: (Sarisan didn't take the hint and Ayrick's way of dealing with people that can't take hints right now is to ignore them)
Sarisan: {Well, technically, you ninja'd me some there.}
Sarisan: The other chick walked away.... and....
Sarisan: Weren't we talking?
Ayrick: (Did I? I wasn't meaning to. I just got carried away in the rp, sorry)
Sarisan: Okay okay! I know nothing about you, you great and enigmatic beast of a man.
Sarisan: How dare I simply...apply logic to human behavior....
Sarisan: {S'all good, s'all good. xD}
Alena could be around for rp. But Ayrick's pretty much ignoring you now since you kept going on about how you could figure him out
Alena: (Should I have her go back to camp or you going to her?)
Sarisan: {But that *wasn't* what he was even saying, dammit! xD}
Sarisan: {Hence Saris's frustration.}
Ayrick: (It's how Ayrick was taking it in character though since Saris kept going on about little details)
Ayrick: (... I think we just need a better way of monitoring when one of us is done posting xD)
Ayrick: (How about we just do an ooc (/fin) so we know when the ramble is done?)
Sarisan: {He's *NOT* saying he can figure Ayrick out. What he was attempting to explain (to mister 8 Wis. xD) was that by knowing basic people types he can get a better read on them, and by extent, know topics to discuss with them, etc.}
Ayrick: (And him saying that bugged Ayrick since he associated that with the earlier topic)
Sarisan: {The little points were more.... examples. xD}
Ayrick: (See,that's where things went wrong XD the examples just irritated him more)
Sarisan: {....Ayrick isn't even phased by accuracy, either. x'D}
Alena: (So, Alena going back to camp or you going to her?)
Sarisan: {"Fuck OFF little talking man."}
Sarisan: {Saris isn't going anywhere.}
Alena: {Oh he noticed some accuracy, but that just made him wary and watchful of Sarisan}
Alena: {Ayrick really doesn't trust slick talkers right away. As soon as he makes that association, he makes a note to keep an eye on them and observe}
Sarisan: {Saris is in a rather foul mood too, since he didn't even get to tell him that in truth rambling is his comfort thing.}
Alena came back to camp. She sat down and looked at Ayrick longingly. She sighed. and sat down.
Alena: Well, life is just peachy.
Sarisan: {Basically, Saris is non-stop talking,because he's nervous about Ms. Fainting over there. He understands the origin is emotional, but passing out like that, repeatedly, can be dangerous. }
Sarisan: {And he's not exactly used to worrying about situations, so, he talks to calm/comfort himself. xD}
Sarisan: Mmm.
Sarisan: Tell me about it.
Sarisan said, tight-lipped.
Ayrick: (Hehehehehe xD There's gonna be a few awkward moments at first)
Sarisan glares at Ayrick, looking him over.
Alena: .. I guess. I guess I should apologize to her. But I feel so. ... She doesn't deserve him. But I guess I shouldn't dwell on it. Hey, sorry about that comment earlier. I have a bad habit of speaking then thinking.
Sarisan: Definite bad childhood.
Alena: (What's the basis for a bad childhood?)
Sarisan: {He's, in part, griping and making assumptions because he's pissed. But, I want to play the explanations out in RP. xD}
Sarisan: {He talks to himself.}
Sarisan: Once again, the attitude says defensive, guarded.... perhaps bullied from a younger age.
Alena: (OH, ok. That's fine then xD That one was just a little weird since I couldn't figure out where the basis came from)
Sarisan: The whole sword for hire thing....
Alena: ...
Alena: He wasn't a sword for hire when I knew hi,
Alena: *Him
Alena said irritated
Sarisan: Tolerance for death means more stunted or repressed empathy, but the soft spot for that one.....
Sarisan: Well, I'm assuming.
Sarisan: He fits the general look, profile, build, etc. He was coming from the city, to meet this girl.
Alena: That's what irritated him. He hates it with a passion when it seems like people are assuming.
Sarisan: You all appear phyiscally-minded.
Alena said slightly defensive. But her heart was only half in it
Alena: What? Physically minded?
Sarisan shakes his head.
Sarisan: It's not a critique, and I don't assume to know people mentally.
Sarisan: Just externally.
Sarisan: Getting in a person's head takes dialog....
Sarisan: Physically fit. You all look like you can beat the shit out of me.
Sarisan grinned lightly.
Alena: ... Good luck getting him to open up.
Sarisan: Not hard. That's why I learned to talk.
Sarisan: {GAH! These ninjas. xD}
Sarisan: {Beating the shit out of Saris isn't hard*}
Sarisan: {Sorry, this is difficult with a really talkative PC. x'D}
Alena smirked slightly and smiled at Sarisan appreciatively
Alena: I personally find someone who can talk rather useful. There was a boyfriend I had once, his name was Alexion. I miss him. Saved me from so much trouble.
Sarisan: Oh I can get a judge of basic personality just watching... I'm holding off on the talking after all the pouting he did tonight.
Sarisan rolls his eyes.
Sarisan: It's so odd to me. Some people, react so lividly when they hear about themselves.
Sarisan: He didn't yell, or get physically angry, but that running from it is almost the same.
Sarisan: Shut me out and went to sleep.
Alena: What's so odd about that? Some people have a hard time looking in the mirror. Makes sense when you know a person.
Sarisan: I mean, I don't get it, personally.
Sarisan: Self-examination is important.
Alena smiled slightly at Ayrick not really thinking about what she gave away. Then looked back to Sarisan
Sarisan: I get *why* others do it.
Sarisan: So... you and he, huh?
Alena: I agree. Being honest with yourself is something very healthy for the mental state. I come off masculine. I know it. I just, don't like comments about it.
Sarisan: Formerly, obviously.
Sarisan: I do need to apologize, it's a defensive thing.
Sarisan: I talk when I'm scared shitless.
Alena: ... Yeah. We were in the same troop. After his fiance died things went pretty sour for him. He internalized everything like he usually does. I got him to open up, well, by being able to speak his fucking language.
Sarisan: Hmmm. He seemed a little chaotic for the service.
Sarisan: Maybe I'm slipping.
Sarisan looks worried.
Alena: Oh he was. We both were. He ended up leaving. Purposely aggravated the commanding officer. Constantly beating the shit out of him until he was discharged. Only reason he didn't fight back was because if he did that he'd go to jail. Finally, a remark about the officer's wife was the final straw. I saw him in the tavern the next day, black and blue all over with a big dumb grin on his face. He casually said, "I'm free"
Sarisan snorted.
Sarisan: Okay, perhaps I wasn't *so* far off.
Alena: I wouldn't get too vocal about what you pick up about him. You'll just end up pissing him off. He'll open up after he's taken some time to get to know you.
Alena looked at Ayrick again, a bit distracted. She forced herself to keep attention on Sarisan
Sarisan: So I noticed.
Sarisan: You gonna fondle him in his sleep or what?
Sarisan: I suppose I should look for a comfortable patch of earth. Didn't bring my bedroll...
Sarisan: I was expecting to be *in town* this evening.
Sarisan chuckled quietly.
Sarisan: Almost made it.
Alena looked at him hopefully,
Alena: Want to share mine?
Alena: (Roll sm, there's like two or three different things behind this)
Sarisan rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 16
Sarisan: {28?}
Alena: (Ok, dc 25 will do)
Alena: {You sense part of her wants to make Ayrick jealous, part of her has a weakness for pretty men and another part of her uses casual sex as a means of stress relief, just like a man would. Except, she's in a woman's body}
Sarisan hesitates for a moment...
Sarisan: Sure, why not?
Alena: (Damnit, I can't seem to find Alena's picture, do you have it by chance?)
Sarisan: {That's a negative.}
Alena smiled.
Alena: No reason to be shy. So, tell me about yourself.
Sarisan: Name's Saris, and I'm fond of casual sex, personal hygiene, and making other people jealous?
Sarisan couldn't help it. That, is why he loses so many women.
Alena smiled wider.
Sarisan was joking, but obviously also revealing what he'd picked up on.
Alena: Well, how about this? I go find a stream to bathe in since the road did make me kind of sweaty. I come back. Then we fool around.
Alena wasn't aware that he was joking xD
Sarisan: Sounds like fun?
Alena smiled warmly.
Alena: Good. I'll be back in a little bit. I look forward to it.
Alena: (Our characters fuck while we build our characters and maybe plot? xD)
Alena: (I know you'll tell me to go to hell if I try to do sex rp x'D)
Sarisan quietly did a mental face-palm..... "Oh, the situations you get yourself into. At least it wasn't 'long term commitments, stabbing things, and sometimes men' .... You need to be under control, Saris."
Alena goes to clean up, comes back to camp, and is smiling rather flirtatiously at Saris. What does Saris do? xD
Sarisan plays along with it. Fuck it, stressful day, and it's better than jabbering on like a nut.
Alena is forward and likes being on top letting the male relax XD build our characters now? Well, my back up character
Sarisan: {Sounds like a plan. xD}
