- [21:52] <[GM]Mary> Alright!
- [21:53] <[GM]Mary> Last time on Shepard's, no one important joined and nothing important happened.
- [21:54] <[huh]Letty> Yay~!
- [21:54] <[Owen]Phrine> Yeah, that sounds about right...
- [21:56] <[GM]Mary> As day turns to dusk, meidos begin to rise from their grave and slumber. It's the final night in the vampire's castle.
- [21:57] <[GM]Mary> Shepard returns from wherever he went, clutching a sheathed saber beneath his cloak. Sidney has disappeared again.
- [21:58] <Shepard> Hmph. It appears someone's stolen the Mormegil. Are you ready, ladies?
- [21:58] * [Pyg]Judith lets out a yawn, realizing the feeling of the weight of another leaning on her.
- [21:59] <[huh]Letty> Ready for what, master?
- [22:00] * [Owen]Phrine just kind of sits there weirdly, disoriented, as she leans against Judith. Seems she forgot to turn off her lucky egg before she went to bed. It feels like she's still dreaming...
- [22:00] <Shepard> To leave. Are all of you so forgetful?
- [22:01] <[huh]Letty> In the mornings, yes.
- [22:01] <[Owen]Phrine> "Leaf...I...I am the leaf of the red tree~..."
- [22:01] <[huh]Letty> Would it be tactless to call it low blood pressure?
- [22:02] * [Pyg]Judith leans forward so her mouth is next to Phrine's ear.
- [22:02] <[Pyg]Judith> "You awake now, little one?"
- [22:02] <[Owen]Phrine> "Nyyaah!"
- [22:03] <[Pyg]Judith> "Waahh!"
- [22:03] * [Owen]Phrine falls over on her side. It's like the voice was a literal push! Wow, what power!
- [22:03] <[Owen]Phrine> "...I feel alive~..."
- [22:03] * [Pyg]Judith moves to help her right up.
- [22:03] <[Pyg]Judith> "Sorry, did I scare you?"
- [22:04] * [Owen]Phrine begins humming some lullaby-like tune as she is helped up.
- [22:04] <[Owen]Phrine> "Mmm, mhmhmm~, and the night comes again~..."
- [22:05] <Shepard> ...Tactless or not, it's idiocy. Quickly, get yourselves ready and depart north. I'll go on ahead and check for dangers. Try not to keep me waiting for too long.
- [22:05] * [Owen]Phrine whispers into Judith's ear.
- [22:06] <[Owen]Phrine> "Did he say something about me~?"
- [22:07] * Shepard leaves the way he came.
- [22:10] * [Owen]Phrine shrugs and tries to stand up. Woo, dizzy~...
- [22:11] * [Owen]Phrine gets too her feet, breathing much heavier than such a simple action should require. That lucky egg sure takes one's breath away...
- [22:11] * [Owen]Phrine [*to]
- [22:12] <[Owen]Phrine> "Hmm...Ahhmm...Hhhannn...Woo, sleepy~..."
- [22:12] * [huh]Letty rises drowsily.
- [22:13] * [Owen]Phrine begins to count the people in the room with a loopy finger. One...Two...umm...just two? Weren't there more...?
- [22:13] * [Owen]Phrine looks t her two fingers. Maybe the missing people are hiding in her palm somewhere...
- [22:13] * [Owen]Phrine [*looks at]
- [22:14] <[Owen]Phrine> "...hee-hee, I can't count~..."
- [22:18] * [Pyg]Judith finally gets up on her feet, straightening out the wrinkles on her clothes as best she can.
- [22:18] <[huh]Letty> I guess we should get going, huh. Are you two ready?
- [22:18] * [Owen]Phrine gives up counting missing people. They'll turn up eventually, right? She moves to follow the direction Shepard left.
- [22:18] * [Pyg]Judith leaves following the rests.
- [22:19] * [huh]Letty follows Judith.
- [22:21] * [Owen]Phrine rolls her head around, looking for both something in particular, and nothing in particular. She doesn't seem to find whatever it was she was looking for.
- [22:21] <[Owen]Phrine> "Hmmm~...wheee-re aaare yooouu~?"
- [22:21] <[Pyg]Judith> Something wrong, Phrine?
- [22:22] <[Owen]Phrine> "Emmm...I dunno, jus'...looking?"
- [22:25] <[Pyg]Judith> Hmm.
- [22:25] * [Owen]Phrine really has no idea where she's going. This castle is like a maze to her. Fun maze~...
- [22:25] <[GM]Mary> You make your way through the castle. From here, you can either travel through the castle and use a northern exit or turn to the main gate, which lies eastward. There's obvious signs that people have been here, most notably a few more dead bodies lying than the night before.
- [22:27] * [Owen]Phrine ambles over to a dead body. She feels bad about drinking Mom's blood last night. She needs to take care of herself!
- [22:29] <[Pyg]Judith> Oh, good, a breakfast before the trip.
- [22:29] * [Owen]Phrine latches on to some pour soul's arm and sips a taste. Bleeech! Awful awful rotten dead blood!
- [22:30] <[Pyg]Judith> No good, huh?
- [22:30] * [Owen]Phrine spits out the putrid red liquid and "thhbtt's" her tongue.
- [22:30] <[Owen]Phrine> "Bleeehh..."
- [22:30] * [Owen]Phrine makes a funny face.
- [22:31] =-= mini_Kagami is now known as [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean
- [22:33] * [Owen]Phrine feels even hungrier after this awful drink. Mom-blood just isn't the same as stuff she finds herself.
- [22:35] * [Owen]Phrine feels like she should be going somewhere that's not here. Because here is boring...
- [22:35] <[Owen]Phrine> "Can we go somewhe-ere that's not here, now...?"
- [22:35] <[Owen]Phrine> "...'cause I'm lost~..."
- [22:36] <[huh]Letty> We were supposed to go north...
- [22:36] * [Pyg]Judith frowns at the dry, dead bodies strewn all over. Damn, she's starting to get thirsty too.
- [22:37] <[Owen]Phrine> "Ooo, yay..................what's north, again?"
- [22:37] <[Pyg]Judith> "That would be going up when you look at a map."
- [22:38] * [huh]Letty points north.
- [22:38] * [Owen]Phrine looks up. What a nice ceiling...
- [22:38] <[huh]Letty> This way.
- [22:38] <[Pyg]Judith> "I said when I look at a map! Don't confuse her, Letty."
- [22:38] <[Pyg]Judith> [*when you]
- [22:39] * [huh]Letty sighs.
- [22:39] <[huh]Letty> Relating it to a map won't help us here, though.
- [22:40] * [Owen]Phrine is hopelessly confused by now. Nice egg, though...fuzzy warm in her chest...mmm~....
- [22:41] <[huh]Letty> ...Just follow me.
- [22:41] * [huh]Letty sets off North.
- [22:41] <[Owen]Phrine> "...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm'kay."
- [22:41] <[GM]Mary> You continue on, heading by the library and towards the castle's chapel. Though laden with impressive stone sculptures and stained glass windows, the chapel serves as a mockery of Christian faith, with depictions of demons and sinful horrors all about. The moonlight peers in well through the windows, creating a surreal spectrum of colors across the pews and stone floor.
- [22:43] * [Owen]Phrine , for reasons that may or may not be related to egg-euphoria, has a bad feeling about this...
- [22:43] <[Owen]Phrine> "Uuunn...just like a dream~..."
- [22:45] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean stands on a tree branch, and inhales deeply. Ah, what a fine night for slaying the ravening hideous hordes of undead! He cracks his knuckles, and takes ahold of the rope.
- [22:46] =-= YOU are now known as MariaLenardeTheFourth
- [22:46] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> All right. Chums up; let's do this.
- [22:47] * MariaLenardeTheFourth sucks her chest up, putting on her best soldier face, also standing atop a strangely tall tree.
- [22:47] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Right!
- [22:47] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean swings into the chapel, smashing through the glass windows, screaming some sort of battle cry.
- [22:47] * [Owen]Phrine sees pretty lights in the sky. Oh wait...that's glass.
- [22:48] * [huh]Letty looks at the Chapel. Despite being a vampire, she's still... oh goddamn.
- [22:48] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> CAST YE NOT IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST IS IN HEAVEN AND-- how does the rest of that go, again...? ...Never mind, there's bigger fish to fry!
- [22:49] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean sdkates to a halt on the glas, and whips out his sword, pointing it accusingly at the vampires.
- [22:49] <[Owen]Phrine> "Oooh...funny people~...?"
- [22:49] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Undead fish.
- [22:49] * [Owen]Phrine waves listlessly at the newcomers.
- [22:50] <[Owen]Phrine> "It's okay, I forget stuff too..."
- [22:50] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...
- [22:50] * [Mys]Sidney rolls in her sleep...
- [22:50] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...You don't look like the guy on the poster.
- [22:50] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean pauses.
- [22:50] * MariaLenardeTheFourth screams, as she also swings her way in, albeit very badly. She hooks herself on the window's roof and goes tumbling off, landing right on top of Ricardo.
- [22:51] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> uuuaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAH! Oof!
- [22:51] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Any of y--OOF!
- [22:51] <[huh]Letty> Why can't we just have normal adversaries?
- [22:51] * [huh]Letty sighs.
- [22:51] * [Owen]Phrine thinks to herself. "But I'm not a guy...am I...? What's a guy again?"
- [22:51] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean looks up at the scream, and manages to catch Maria in a sort of half- fumbled way.
- [22:52] * [Owen]Phrine thinks maybe those two will know!
- [22:52] <[Owen]Phrine> "Hey, umm...what is a guy~?"
- [22:52] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...Maria, dear, we're going to need to practice proper dramatic entry after this.
- [22:53] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> But we'll worry about it later. Are you all right?
- [22:53] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> I'm sorry, Ricardo... yeah...
- [22:53] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Excellent!
- [22:53] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean sets her on her feet, and brushes glass off if the both of them.
- [22:54] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> It appears we have the wrong address.
- [22:54] * MariaLenardeTheFourth rubs her head and dusts Ricardo off as well.
- [22:54] * [Owen]Phrine wonders if she should help brush off the glass...don't maids do that sometimes?
- [22:54] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean ...a though occurs to him, and he whips out his sword again. Even more dramatically, this time.
- [22:55] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...or... a trap!
- [22:55] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Huh? This is the wrong place? Oh!
- [22:55] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Who are you ...people?
- [22:55] * MariaLenardeTheFourth whips out her... wait, she doesn't have anything.
- [22:55] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean utters the last word with suspicion.
- [22:55] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Thralls?
- [22:55] * [Owen]Phrine wanders closer to the sword. Looks pretty~...
- [22:55] * MariaLenardeTheFourth whispers:
- [22:55] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Ricky, I lost my saber!
- [22:55] <[huh]Letty> Shouldn't the guest introduce himself first?
- [22:55] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Vampires?
- [22:55] <[Pyg]Judith> Phrine!
- [22:55] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Confused and misguided young women?
- [22:56] <[Owen]Phrine> "What? It's pretty~..."
- [22:56] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Because let me tell you folks, you wouldn't BELIEVE how m-- eh?
- [22:56] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean looks at his partner.
- [22:56] <[Pyg]Judith> "Think of it like a rose, Phrine. What happens when you touch them?"
- [22:57] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...You're sure?
- [22:57] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean looks her over. ....nope, no saber. Damn.
- [22:57] <[Owen]Phrine> "Ummmmmmmm...blood? But I like blo-ood~..."
- [22:57] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Well, we can j--
- [22:58] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean pauses, a little chill going down his neck.
- [22:58] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Huh?
- [22:58] * MariaLenardeTheFourth follows Ricardo's chill, then his gaze.
- [22:59] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Sounds like door number two, then...
- [22:59] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean whispers back to Maria:
- [22:59] * [Pyg]Judith furrows her brows.
- [22:59] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Okay, what DO you have?
- [22:59] * [Owen]Phrine looks endearingly at the two new people. Hey, they have blood, don't they?
- [22:59] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> I got, I got, um...
- [23:00] * MariaLenardeTheFourth fumbles about in her red-vampire hunting dress. She made it herself!
- [23:00] * [Owen]Phrine raises her hand. It's always polite to ask, right?
- [23:00] * MariaLenardeTheFourth pulls out some smalls bottles.
- [23:00] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Holy water!
- [23:01] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...Yes, young lady?
- [23:01] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...Really? That just might come in handy.
- [23:03] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Mhm! It really works! I got some in my eyes the other day and it wouldn't stop stinging!
- [23:03] <[Owen]Phrine> "Uhhh, well....I'm really thirsty, y'see~...Can I have some of yours blood, I guees~?"
- [23:03] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...I don't think that's ho--
- [23:05] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean ...There's that damned chill again. He turns and looks at this little girl. Fairly normal, well, maybe not the hair, and the gun's a bit dangerous, but other thWHOA HOLD ON A MINUTE THERE WINGS AND HORNS, FUCK.
- [23:05] * [Owen]Phrine twists her foot bashfully. This is always so awkward for her...
- [23:05] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> ...huh?
- [23:06] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean [retcon the gun]
- [23:06] * MariaLenardeTheFourth has forgotten about their audience, and turns to them meekly.
- [23:06] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean addresses the little girl.
- [23:07] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> We don't have any. We're big ol' bloodless squares from Squaresville.
- [23:08] * [Mys]Sidney wakes up at the smell of breakfast. She walks in a half daze down the Castle halls eating the fine treats that people have passed up.
- [23:08] * [Owen]Phrine frowns. What a shame...she had hoped for some dinner tonight...
- [23:08] <[Owen]Phrine> "Mmmmmm...all right. Soo-ooryy~."
- [23:08] * [Pyg]Judith walks up behind Phrine ready to grab her in case these strangers make any sudden moves.
- [23:09] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> What are you talking about? I bled all over the place when I cut my thumb on those coathangers I used to make th-
- [23:10] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean facepalms, inside.
- [23:10] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Maria, I do believe we're looking at a happy little vampire family. Not the best thing to tell them, maybe?
- [23:10] * [Mys]Sidney bumps her head on a ceiling beam after her tenth or eleventh treat... She feels full enough and being so tall isn't fun at all. Sidney reverts to her child height and wanders the halls wondering, if not for long, where everyone went too. Sidney sneezes.
- [23:10] <[huh]Letty> Judith, these people are beginning to get a bit boring. Should we just kill them?
- [23:11] <[Pyg]Judith> "Maybe we can walk past them.
- [23:11] <[Pyg]Judith> "
- [23:11] * MariaLenardeTheFourth , having just realized her error, develops teary eyes and bows her head to Ricardo.
- [23:11] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean smirks at the vampire women.
- [23:11] * [Owen]Phrine fails to pick up on Maria's slip of the tongue; she's sitting down in a pew and enjoying her egg~..."
- [23:11] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> I'm sorry, Ricardo! And now they're going to kill us! What're we going to do!?
- [23:12] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Sorry, ladies, but you're only going one place, tonight.
- [23:12] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean Dramatic zoom-in!
- [23:12] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> --To HELL.
- [23:13] <[Pyg]Judith> "Not so dense after all, are you?"
- [23:13] * [huh]Letty laughs.
- [23:13] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Oh, I wouldn't say that.
- [23:13] * [Pyg]Judith shakes Phrine's shoulder, trying to get her attention.
- [23:13] <[huh]Letty> The funny one might make a fun toy.
- [23:13] * MariaLenardeTheFourth stops her whining and does her best to match Ricardo's enthusiasm.
- [23:13] <[Mys]Sidney> *sniffs*
- [23:14] <[Mys]Sidney> Mornin'...
- [23:14] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Maria, dear? Kindly grab a torch or two from nearby, would you?
- [23:14] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean freezes.
- [23:14] * [Mys]Sidney says to no one particular in the room...
- [23:14] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean ssssssshit.
- [23:15] * MariaLenardeTheFourth nods, running off before he freezes in his tracks.
- [23:16] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> By Belmont's blood! Do we have another one?
- [23:17] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean Ah, fuck it.
- [23:17] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean raises his voice a little, calling out to his companion.
- [23:18] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Maria, dear? assume that anyone in here is a vampire, and proceed accordingly.
- [23:18] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...
- [23:18] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean pauses.
- [23:18] * MariaLenardeTheFourth returns with two torches, like an olympic runner twice over.
- [23:18] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Except for me.
- [23:18] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean thinks on this a moment more.
- [23:18] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> And you, too. Nobody bit you yet, did they?
- [23:19] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...Ah, thank you.
- [23:19] * [Pyg]Judith shakes Phrine a little harder.
- [23:19] <[Pyg]Judith> Phrine, get up.
- [23:19] * [Owen]Phrine is broken from her reverie! Whuzzat, now...?
- [23:19] <[Owen]Phrine> "....Mmmreeh?"
- [23:20] <[Owen]Phrine> "What'd I miss~..."
- [23:20] * [Owen]Phrine yawns.
- [23:20] * [huh]Letty attempts to walk past the would-be hunters.
- [23:20] <[Pyg]Judith> "Get behind me, these people aren't going to be very nice to us."
- [23:20] * [Mys]Sidney half yawns and half mumbles"Kill those pale faced, blood sucking monsters!"
- [23:20] * [Owen]Phrine picks up on a little of the subtext.
- [23:20] * [Mys]Sidney sneezes
- [23:21] <[Owen]Phrine> "Oohhh...Are we fighting or something now?"
- [23:21] <[Mys]Sidney> Raaah~
- [23:21] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Oh? oh... Right!
- [23:21] <[Mys]Sidney> *sniff
- [23:21] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> So... they're the vampires?
- [23:21] <[Pyg]Judith> "If they insist."
- [23:21] * MariaLenardeTheFourth waves her lit stick towards the group.
- [23:21] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> I'm pretty sure.
- [23:21] <[Owen]Phrine> "Mmmmmm'kay~."
- [23:22] * [Owen]Phrine reaches into her vest...and removes her lucky egg! Gasp! She puts it back into her side pocket. It's time for SERIOUS BUSINESS!
- [23:22] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean notices one of them strolling forward. Oh, I don't think so, buddy.
- [23:23] * [Owen]Phrine bows respectfully to the two hunters.
- [23:23] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Maria, would you kindly lend me one of the ....holy water.... vials?
- [23:24] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Huh? Oh, sure!
- [23:24] * MariaLenardeTheFourth lends not one, but two
- [23:25] <[Owen]Phrine> "Hello people-who-are-probably-bad-guys. I'm Phrine. I'm also hungry. So, umm...have at you~, I guess...?"
- [23:25] * [Pyg]Judith cracks her knuckles.
- [23:26] * [Mys]Sidney begins hording bibles from the pews...
- [23:26] * MariaLenardeTheFourth feels awfully alone, with Ricardo gone to face Leticia, she's no one to protect her but herself! She trembles weakly.
- [23:27] * [Owen]Phrine forgets what to do after this. It's been a while since she's fought anyone, after all...
- [23:27] <[huh]Letty> Oh, we're fighting now?
- [23:27] <[huh]Letty> Excellent.
- [23:28] * [Mys]Sidney is walking up and down pews, marked as a shark with its fin, only by a large stack of bibles...
- [23:28] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> Um... well, we don't have to...
- [23:28] * [Owen]Phrine strolls over to Maria and attempts to give her a half-hearted kick in the shins.
- [23:28] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean realizes that his hands are rather full at this point. err... fuck. He passes the sword off two one hand, and takes a vial, and slings it in Letty's direction, slipping the other in a pouch.
- [23:28] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Have a drink!
- [23:31] * [Mys]Sidney has her ammo prepared and lets loose the hell of large literature...
- [23:32] * [huh]Letty deftly dodges the bottle. Whatever's in it can't be good. At the same time she pierces her palm with her fingernails, letting her abnormally dark blood seep down to her fingers.
- [23:34] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Damn!
- [23:34] <[Mys]Sidney> BIBLE FIGHT~
- [23:35] * [Mys]Sidney throws bibles willy-nilly
- [23:35] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean goes to throw the second vial, but is distracted in mid-throw by the nonsensical battlecry.
- [23:35] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> wha--?
- [23:35] * MariaLenardeTheFourth sees the incoming bibles, and stumbles back, falling on her ass.
- [23:35] <MariaLenardeTheFourth> ow-!
- [23:36] <[GM]Mary> Phrine: one of those bibles were made of stone, and falls directly on your head.
- [23:36] * [Owen]Phrine collapses to the floor. What the...?
- [23:37] <[Pyg]Judith> "Aah!"
- [23:37] * [Owen]Phrine has no idea what just happened, but it hurts! It really, really, really hurts!
- [23:39] * [Owen]Phrine curls up into a little ball, oblivious to the world around her. Too much...too much...
- [23:39] * [Pyg]Judith rushes over to the fallen Phrine.
- [23:40] <[Pyg]Judith> "Hey, wolf, watch your damn aim!"
- [23:42] * [Mys]Sidney Silly Jude doesn't understand how to play Bible Fight~
- [23:42] * [Pyg]Judith gets a face full of biblical passages and falls over.
- [23:42] * [huh]Letty gets hit by the glass, and... shiit, it burns, the glass shards hurt... wait, wasn't holy water supposed to melt faces? This stuff... not so much
- [23:43] * [Owen]Phrine is shivering madly, now. Too much, too much...so weak and dizzy and hungry and thirsty...thirsty...
- [23:44] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean is momentarily surprised. Hey, it hit! .... Well. Of course it hit. These creatures of the night don't stand a chance against your awesome aim.
- [23:44] <[GM]Mary> Letty: The water burns your eyes, but it's obviously not holy. It's more like... rubbing alcohol?
- [23:44] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean grins, and lobs the torch at the soaked Letty.
- [23:44] * [huh]Letty is still irritated at getting her nice dress all wet.
- [23:45] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Here, lady! Let me warm you up!
- [23:45] * [huh]Letty charges at Ricardo, fangs beared.
- [23:45] <[Mys]Sidney> Hey~ BIBLES ONLY!
- [00:14] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean lobs the torch, which twirls end over end before landing on the charging vampire maid, and igniting her.
- [00:14] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean RICARDO used TORCH!
- [00:14] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean It's super effective!
- [00:15] * [Mys]Sidney 's body grows massive as her anger flares, a bible in hand. She throws it with such force that the floor buckles beneath the person not using bibles and his friend...
- [00:15] * [huh]Letty hisses in pain as fire envelops her...
- [00:15] * MariaLenardeTheFourth runs around in a panic, throwing more vials at the burning person
- [00:19] <[GM]Mary> A hole erupts from the floor just before Ricardo, and just as he steps out of the way, Maria smashes into him from her frantic racing, sending them both plummeting below.
- [00:20] <[GM]Mary> Phrine, still weary from her head truama, falls to the ground, still mumbling inane things to herself.
- [00:21] * [Pyg]Judith , concerned more for Phrine's well-being, rushes to her side trying to comfort her.
- [00:21] * [huh]Letty is trying to pat out he fire...
- [00:23] * [huh]Letty finally gets it out and just lays there on the floor, smoldering.
- [00:24] * [Mys]Sidney tosses a bible at Letty. Using no strength whatsoever.
- [00:30] <[GM]Mary> Judith: there's no response other than strange mumblings. The hit on her head seems to have made her a bit less comprehensible than she was before, but at least she's quiete now.
- [00:30] * [huh]Letty feels the bible impact, but doesn't really respont.
- [00:33] * [Mys]Sidney jumps down the hole in the floor...
- [00:36] * [huh]Letty picks herself up once the pain numbs.
- [00:37] * [Mys]Sidney|hunting follows the scent of the mean, rule breaking, interl-, inte-, Break In-ny people...
- [00:43] * [Mys]Sidney lumbers through the shadows. Her massive form moving with an odd grace.
- [00:46] <[GM]Mary> You find yourself in the catacombs once again, as familiar skulls and tombs come to light from the hole above.
- [00:46] * [Mys]Sidney lumbers through the shadows. Her massive form moving with an odd grace.
- [00:46] <MariaLenarde> Ow! ow ow ow ow ow ow ow....
- [00:47] * MariaLenarde is laid out over Ricardo, once again falling directly on top of him.
- [00:48] * [Mys]Sidney watches the strange spectacle from the cover of darkness...
- [00:49] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Belmont's burning balls, my HEAD... I'll never talk loud in a library again, I promise...
- [00:49] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean rubs his head. Did they just fall through the floor...?
- [00:50] <MariaLenarde> Rick-eeey~! I think we're in a cave or something... What do we do?
- [00:50] * MariaLenarde whines pathetically.
- [00:50] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean ...Yep. Yep, they did. Where's Mar-- oh, right there.
- [00:51] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> I think we get the hell out of this foul and wretched place
- [00:51] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> And then we set this place on fire.
- [00:52] * [Mys]Sidney .oO(Yeah, you should get out of this place...)
- [00:52] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> I hope the marshmallows are still okay.
- [00:52] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean sits up.
- [00:52] <MariaLenarde> Mmmmph... This isn't fun anymore...
- [00:53] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, dear.
- [00:53] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean gets to his feet and helps Maria up.
- [00:54] <MariaLenarde> but I still have both of my eyes and this isn't fun at all... We should rob museums or something instead.
- [00:54] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Then it's just games: Hunt the eye!
- [00:54] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Hmm.
- [00:54] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> It would pay better.
- [00:54] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Or we could rob from vampires.
- [00:54] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> God knows they've got tons of old famous junk lying around.
- [00:55] * MariaLenarde has an "o" of ding
- [00:55] <MariaLenarde> Oooh, that's a great idea!
- [00:55] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> They must love it, or else they wouldn't hoard it.
- [00:55] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> And if they try to stop us, then we can kill them!
- [00:55] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> Two bats with one stake!
- [00:55] <MariaLenarde> That way, we don't have to fight anymore, either! We just come during the day and talk all their stuff~
- [00:55] * MariaLenarde puts her index fingers together
- [00:56] <MariaLenarde> or that...
- [00:57] * [Mys]Sidney has approached rather quickly and swats a claw twice the size of Maria's head into her side.
- [01:01] * [Mys]Sidney flings the girl to the side with surprising ease... The rule breaker still standing there in a conversational pose.
- [01:01] * MariaLenarde flies into a stone wall face first, peeling of it slowly and landing on her back.
- [01:13] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean [so, retcon?]
- [01:14] <[GM]Mary> [no, go on and hit Sid. Might want to grab Maria too before she bleeds to death]
- [01:14] * [Mys]Sidney raises her other claw ready to attack once more but...
- [01:15] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean flips the fuck out.
- [01:16] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> ...Maria...?!
- [01:19] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean looks at the still form, face draining of any color, then lunges at Sidney in a psychotic rage, stabbing and slashing, before kicking in a kneecap, and springing away. he leaps over to Maria, and picks her up, and turns to Sidney, hate etched in his manly,awesome-even-in- the-face-of-per-il-and-potential-but-we-hope-not-tragedy features.
- [01:20] <[Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean> You haven't seen the last of us, monster. Not nearly!
- [01:20] * [Atai]RicardoMcDeVonStJean hightails it the fuck out of there.
- [01:27] * [Mys]Sidney is left standing there stunned before giving quick chase, but soon giving up.
- [01:13] <[Pyg]Judith> Letty, should we get out of here? They might come back.
- [01:31] <[huh]Letty> I guess so...
- [01:41] * [huh]Letty looks down on Phrine.
- [01:41] <[huh]Letty> Is the childe alright?
- [01:44] <[Pyg]Judith> "I hope so. Shh, shh, it's okay, those punks are gone now..."
- [01:50] <[huh]Letty> I think you mave have to carry her. We cannot keep the master waiting.
- [01:51] <[Pyg]Judith> "Right..."
- [01:53] <[GM]Mary> You make your way out of the castle, and head northward along a winding dirt path. At the head of the path, Shepard sits in wait atop a horse-drawn carriage.
- [01:54] * [Pyg]Judith walks up to the cart, a cloud of bats behind her carrying Phrine.
- [01:54] <[Pyg]Judith> "A long trip, Boss?"
- [01:56] <Shepard> Indeed. What took you so long? Leticia... What happened to your face?
- [01:56] <[huh]Letty> I'm just that hot, you know?
- [01:57] * [huh]Letty gives a wry smile.
- [01:57] * Shepard hops down, inquiring Letty more closely.
- [01:58] <[Pyg]Judith> "At least it won't be permanent. I'd hate for your pretty face taken from me by some lowlife bastard."
- [01:58] <Shepard> ...hmph. So long as you finished off whoever may have done it. Where's Sidney?
- [01:59] <[huh]Letty> That... is a very good question.
- [01:59] * [huh]Letty thinks...
- [01:59] <[huh]Letty> She certainly...
- [01:59] <[huh]Letty> Oh, oh dear...
- [02:00] * Shepard shrugs nonchalantly.
- [02:01] * [Pyg]Judith directs the bats to carefully lay Phrine onto the cart. They swarm around her again reforming her left arm. She flexes it when it is fully formed again.
- [02:01] <[huh]Letty> She is my responsibility. Should I go for her?
- [02:01] <Shepard> No matter. If she's still with us, she'll catch up. And finally, what happened to her? I don't think these occurrences are coincidental. Did you run into hunters or something?
- [02:03] <[Pyg]Judith> "Yeah. They got the drop on us."
- [02:03] <[Pyg]Judith> "And they ran off before we could pay 'em back.
- [02:03] <[Pyg]Judith> "
- [02:04] <Shepard> Hmm... I see. Explains the burns, anyhow. Well, I'm glad you got out of there safely. You're not strong enough to face holy warriors yet. Remember what did you in last time.
- [02:05] <[huh]Letty> They certainly did not seem like such competent foes. Please, forgive my brashness that almost cost you your servants.
- [02:06] * [huh]Letty kneels.
- [02:06] <[Pyg]Judith> "Letty..."
- [02:08] * Shepard scratches his chin, and refers to Judith:
- [02:09] <Shepard> Hm. This is simply what she knows.
- [02:10] <Shepard> Arise, Leticia. With the heal of your scar, the last memories of that castle will be behind you. Now's the time for finding a new place to call our own, and we have the world to chose from.
- [*Mary] <[GM]Mary> End.
