pub 2.0

[22:15] * Ryah is in a rather, well, stereotypical bar waitress/maid outfit sort of combo, and blushing
[22:16] <MorgRora> "Naw Ryah." "We are just here for company. Actually, come sit with us?"
[22:17] <WhiteKnight> Removing her sunglasses, she follows the angels to sit with them. Today her sweater is purple, and she has... a skirt! It is blue, and goes beneath her knees, but it's the first anyone's seen of Vela in a skirt!
[22:17] * MorgRora headpats for Natasha & Marz. Then picking up. Then cuddles.
[22:18] <MorgRora> An angel grabs Vela's hand and leads her over to a booth, urging her to sit down.
[22:18] <Jar_Mimic> The little girl and her bunny doll giggle as though they were being tickled.  Smiles all around.
[22:18] <WhiteKnight> Vela takes her seat, looking around. "How have you been, my angels? These are friends of yours, yes?"
[22:19] * Ryah blushed, sighing,and looking asie. "Still working." she muttered, as she looked to Vela. "Ah, hello, can I get you anything then... since they're here to loiter more or less?"
[22:20] <MorgRora> To Ryah "Order us whatever the boss it telling you to push." "We'll hang out some time when you arne't busy."
[22:21] <MorgRora> To Vela, "We've been well." "These are our friends, great friends, Natasha and Marzipan." When named, they heft the appropriate person.
[22:21] <Paladin-Amelia> The door swings open, and a short, dark haired girl in jeans and a vermillion hoodie walks in. She smiles a bit at the familiar surroundings- sure, it's nice in Belfast, but this place wasn't that bad either. She's a lot cheerier than the last time she was here, with little of the nervous tension from last time. She sees a familiar flash of color- were those the angel twins? She glances over her shoulder. "Hey, Alexa, you coming or what?" She calls.
[22:21] <Jar_Mimic> "Well, fight on, miss, uh, Ryah, was it?  Fight on.  Us magical girls are resiliant.  You'll make the best of your body eventually."  "Keep the faith."
[22:21] <Paladin-Amelia> The Wand and Circlet's just like it was...a week ago? It feels like it was longer. That giant board on the wall's new though...Wonder what that's for?
[22:21] <DrEvilKitteh> ("Hey, Alexa, yo- )
[22:22] <Paladin-Amelia> *"Hey, Alexa, you coming or what?" She calls.
[22:23] <Jar_Mimic> Looking toward Vela, they say "I'm Natasha," and, "I'm Marzipan."
[22:23] <Jran-Kri> A slightly shorter girl in a baby blue fleece and slacks stumbles in after her. The brown-haired mahou adjusts her glasses, waving Alexa off as she contemplates the place.
[22:23] * Ryah shrugs, as she brings them simple fruity drinks, before, well, starting to run back and forth as the bar starts to pick up, less time to hang out, more... well, working.

[22:23] <Ryah> (Will switch to someone else prolly. For now though, AGDQ race.)
[22:23] <Jran-Kri> "Of course, of course. Sorry, just admiring the local colour," she jokes, her voice crisp and finely accented.
[22:23] <WhiteKnight> "It's a pleasure to meet you," she says to the girl and the doll. "I am Vela, knight in training, and magical girl."
[22:25] * MorgRora take seats next to Vela, effectively monopolizingher.
[22:25] <Jar_Mimic> "Aw, man, you two always know the coolest people," says Nat to Morg and Rora.  "To whom have you pledged your fealty, miss knight?" says Marzi to Vela.
[22:25] <Paladin-Amelia> "Hey, it hasn't changed THAT much..." Amelia teases. Another glance at the board, then she looks to Alexa. "Remember those angels? From when we met? I think I saw them. Going to say hi." With that she puts actions to words and jogs over to their booth.

[22:26] <Paladin-Amelia> "Hey, guys. Remember me?" Amelia waves at Morgana and Aurora. She's all smiles today, practically bouncing up and down- a sharp contrast from her demeanour when she'd first met the angels.
[22:26] <WhiteKnight> "To my king, Feodore the Fogbreaker," Vela declares with pride. "A most just man, and one both my father and I are proud to serve."
[22:27] * MorgRora are suprised and pleased to see these returning girls. "Wow, it's very good to see you are okay." "Still good friends?"
[22:27] <Jran-Kri> "Angels, angels... Ah yes, from the, ah, thing with the... The ones that went and burst out of the ground, yes," Alexa mutters to herself, standing stock still before suddenly remembering herself. In a flurry of movement, she hurries after Amelia.
[22:27] <ScarletFlame> From the second floor, a familiar schoolgirl descends! Familiar to some, that is. Vela probably didn't recall anyone like that.
[22:28] <MorgRora> [who is it?]
[22:29] <Jar_Mimic> "I see!  We're not familiar with his name."  "But I'm sure he's worthy of praise by the way you describe him."  "Where does he hold his court?"
[22:29] <Jran-Kri> "Yes, yes -- even better, in fact! I seem to be spending all my time with Amelia here..." Alexa nudges the other girl with her elbow, grinning. Casting a glance over her shoulder, however, she perks up at the sight of someone very familiar. "Ah... Excuse me one moment."
[22:29] <ScarletFlame> (( Ferrous. ))
[22:29] * MorgRora pat the seats next to them, Vela is between them though. "Would you like to sit with us too?"
[22:29] <Jran-Kri> "Ferrous!" Alexa calls over, her eyes lighting up behind her glasses. "Ferrous, is that you? It's been too long!"
[22:29] <MorgRora> [kk]
[22:29] <Paladin-Amelia> "Course we're okay! And uyep!" Amelia beams. "What about you guys? Gone sewer diving again lately?" She glances at the angels...companions. A glance to Alexa. "Hmm?" She looks back. "Oh, sure."
[22:29] <Paladin-Amelia> *yep!
[22:30] <MorgRora> [nat and marz are on the angel's laps.]
[22:30] <Paladin-Amelia> [sigh retcon last line then]
[22:30] <WhiteKnight> "Another world, held captive between the cold fangs of Winter's jaws. Though I do not believe it actually has a name. However, I can tell you the name of my country - Donnerfeld."
[22:31] <MorgRora> "Good friends are important" "Very much so."
[22:32] <WhiteKnight> Vela looks around, somehow amazed at all the people she knows and doesn't know.
[22:32] <ScarletFlame> Noticing the barrier girl, the steel girl runs over to Alexa! "Yes, it's me, Ferro! I-it's been far too long since we've last met!" The schoolgirl hugs Alexa!
[22:33] <Jar_Mimic> "Another world."  "No wonder we're not familiar."  "Is the portal to it very far away?"  "We've always been interested in travel."
[22:33] <Jran-Kri> Alexa reciprocates the hug eagerly!
[22:34] <WhiteKnight> "It is... not all that far," Vela admits. "You can find it in another stable section of this city. But it isn't around this tavern... pub, at all."
[22:34] <MorgRora> "Would it be alright if we visited sometime?"
[22:34] <Jran-Kri> "Far, far too long," she agrees with a snicker. "I"m so sorry. I'd have come to visit, but I've been all caught up with matters at home -- you should see the place, she's the most misbegotten country you ever did see. But enough of me! How have you been? You look well!"
[22:35] == Phosphor has changed nick to Pioden
[22:35] <WhiteKnight> "I have no issue, if you have no problem with the cold."
[22:35] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia decides to give Alexa her moment with a friend, sitting with the angels. It's a bit crowded at the booth. "So..um...how are you guys?" She asks, a bit awkwardly. "Haven't gone sewer diving or anything lately, have you?" Smooth.
[22:36] <Jar_Mimic> "Oh my gosh, we should make it a field trip."  "Stop trying to SOUND like a third grader, too."
[22:37] <ScarletFlame> "I've..." Ferro pauses, realizing that there was nothing in her blouse pocket. She resumes a moment after. "I've been doing well, thank you. And it's alright, if you've had business back home! I've only been able to visit the Overcity on weekends."
[22:38] <WhiteKnight> Vela nods. "I would be happy to guide you... though I would need a guide myself. I was a sheltered child, you see. Though I will warn you: common thugs and fiends are likely no different from other worlds... but I do not believe knights are the only ones with enchanted arms and armor that put them on our level of might."
[22:38] <Pioden> A window flies open as the Puchuu Pioden unceremoniously swoops in to land before the bounty board once again. He hurriedly whips out another parchment scrap and pins it below his previous bounty in a huff.
[22:39] <Jran-Kri> "... Oh yes, you have, ah, school, don't you?" Alexa looks a tad envious for a moment, but she dismisses the momentary darkness with a quick shake of the head. "Well, you're here now, is the point. Been keeping busy, have you?"
[22:39] * Pioden turns about with a hop, and takes flight once more out the window as it slams behind him.
[22:39] == Pioden has changed nick to Phosphor
[22:40] <Jar_Mimic> "Oh, hey, you wouldn't need to worry about us!"  "I happen to command a small regiment of guards."  "I'm certain you'd get a kick out of meeting them."
[22:40] <MorgRora> "Actually, Amelia. We have. It's a great place for creepy atmosphere and fights."
[22:40] <MorgRora> [lol, >with a huff]
[22:41] <WhiteKnight> "A 'kick?" Vela asks. "I'm not familiar with that expression."
[22:41] <MorgRora> "A boost to your emotional state and enjoyment."
[22:42] <Jar_Mimic> "Oh, uh, gah, I'm sorry."  "She means you'd find it entertaining to see what kind of troops we command."  "They're a sight to see.  Especially in the heat of combat."
[22:44] <Paladin-Amelia> "Ah. Neat. I guess if ther are monsters there..." She shrugs at the angels, and glances over to Vela. A wave. "Um. Hi. I'm Amelia. Paladin Amelia, but that's for monster hunts. You?"
[22:44] <WhiteKnight> "Oh! Please, do show me!" Vela smiles excitedly. On a whim, she calls up her silver suit of armor, with an insignia bearing an eagler on her arms and breast.
[22:44] == flashdrive_ [[email protected]] has joined #TheWand&Circlet
[22:44] <WhiteKnight> The now armored knight nods in Amelia's direction. "Vela. Vela Stadtberg."
[22:45] <MorgRora> A twin, sitting closest to Amelia, reaches out and pulls her close.
[22:45] == flashdrive [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[22:47] <Jar_Mimic> "Well, I think we need to stand for this demonstration."  "Aw, do we have to?"  "Aurora, I'm sorry, but I need to get out."  "Keep that hand warm for me, Morg."  With that, the two wiggle out and past everyone who had crowded around the table.
[22:47] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia smiles at her. "Nice! That's pretty cool arm-ehh?" Her comment trails off into a squeak of surprise. "Morg-Aur..." She's forgotten which one's which, especially in flustered surprise. "Um, guys?"
[22:48] <WhiteKnight> Vela watches the small girl and Marzipan very intently. She wonders if she should boast she isn't easily impressed.
[22:48] * Nola_Caal Slowly steps down the stairs and finds the bar much more crowded. Her hair is still sopping wet from her long bath and she is wearing the oversized clothes that Ryah gave her.
[22:48] <MorgRora> "Yes Amelia?" "Can we help you?"
[22:49] <Jar_Mimic> On their feet, the two strike a dynamic pose.  A swirl of patches and frilly cloth engulf her as she transforms into her Magical Girl state.  "Alright."  "Here we go."
[22:51] <Jar_Mimic> Waving her hands about in a flourish of arcane gestures, she manifests cloth, thread, and cotton before her.  One by one, the materials weave themselves into various stuffed animals.  A lion here, a horse there.  All with knight themed designs.  The little girl and her doll are left breathless from the exertion.
[22:52] <Jar_Mimic> "Ready to serve, ma'am!" the platoon calls out, standing at attention.
[22:52] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia's blushing furiously at the unexpected contact and proximity...but seems more confused than anything. "I...You, um...touched me? Just surprised me, that's all." She's still very close to the angel twin. "Um...Morgana, right?" She guesses.
[22:53] <Jran-Kri> "... Oh my," from her position some ways away, Alexa turns at the commotion, grinning and applauding. Through it, she doesn't seem to have noticed Amelia's predicament.
[22:53] * Nola_Caal claps at the display of power as the platoon is created.
[22:53] <WhiteKnight> The would-be knight's jaw drops, and she begins to clap furiously! "Loyal guardians at your beck and call! And so cute, too!"
[22:55] <MorgRora> "Yes Amelia, lucky guess." "Now you say someone did something?" An arm wraps around her waists, gently pulling at her to lean into Morgana.
[22:55] <Jar_Mimic> Nat's cheeks, already flushed, turn redder.  "Hoo.  Yeah, well, ah."  She bows to her onlookers, feeling highly uncomfortable at the attention.
[22:55] * MorgRora nod at the truth of Vela's statement, smiling.
[22:57] <Jar_Mimic> It's too much.  She dashes from the establishment, leaving her servants and partner in the dust.  They all exchange confused glances before chasing after her in an unorganized mob.
[22:57] <WhiteKnight> "Oh I do wish I could do something comparably amazing..." Vela sighs at this, summoning her bell hammer. "Ah, Miss Natasha, please wait!" Vela struggles through everybody to get out of her seat, leaving her hammer behind!
[22:57] == Jar_Mimic [[email protected]] has left #TheWand&Circlet []
[22:58] <ScarletFlame> "Well, I suppose those twins will be the same," Ferrous lets out a small chuckle. "And I'm still the same rookie, too. I haven't been able to improve my ma- What." The steel girl glances to the exiting doll girl.
[22:58] <MorgRora> [jar is too cool]
[22:59] <Nola_Caal> Now I feel kinda bad for clapping D: }}}
[22:59] == Karpinsky [[email protected]] has joined #TheWand&Circlet
[22:59] <Jran-Kri> "Hm? The twins?" Alexa turns at the mention of them, adjusting her glasses. Only now does she notice Amelia's situation. She can't help but smile, but her look turns to shock at the sight of the sudden exodus. "Aw. I was hoping to pick her brains. That was such a fascinating trick..."
[22:59] <MorgRora> [jar had to go anyway]
[23:01] <WhiteKnight> Vela is, alas, too slow to catch up to Natasha, and sighs. But at least she still has a bell... which she left behind at the table. Damn. "Such a sorry way to end one's day..."
[23:01] <Paladin-Amelia> "Ah, Morgana? C-could you n-not?" Amelia's definitely embarassed. "I...ah..." She seems to be too flustered for words, blushing furiously as she looks up at Morgana- she has to tilt her head back to look her in the eyes and not her...chest. "It...Um...I...N-not that y-you're not...I mean...you guys are great..." She fidgets uncomfortably.
[23:01] <Nola_Caal> oh i see }}}
[23:03] <Jran-Kri> "Oh... dear," Alexa turns to Ferrous with a small frown, gesturing in Amelia's vague direction. "Do you think she needs help?"
[23:03] <ScarletFlame> "I'm... sure she'll get used to it," The steel girl isn't sure of her own statement! "Then again, this does occur... regularly, so to say."
[23:04] * Karpinsky pushes through the door. "Ferro?"
[23:04] <MorgRora> "It's okay Amelia" The arm comes away, "If you don't feel that way, no pressure."
[23:04] * Nola_Caal sits down at the bar and buys the cheapest drink as to conserve the funds she was given.
[23:05] <WhiteKnight> Vela grabs her bell-hammer, and wonders what she can do... "Is anyone here a good singer?"
[23:05] * MorgRora blush slightly and look away. WHen they do, they notice Nola..."Who is that?" A nod indicates the girl.
[23:06] <ScarletFlame> "Ah, Karp!" The student waves to her mentor!
[23:06] <Karpinsky> "There you are." Karp rushes over to hug her. "What the hell happened last night?"
[23:07] <MorgRora> [?]
[23:07] <Jran-Kri> "Ah yes, I... think I recall. Wait, Karp?" Alexa perks up at the familiar name, adjusting her glasses as she turns. She steps away from Ferrous as the other girl rushes up. "Oh. Oh my."
[23:07] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia's red-faced and suddenly seems to be extremely interested in the table. "Ah...Sorry...I...It's just...It's not that I don't like you or a-anything..." She's stammering. "Ah. Um. Yeah. Nicetoseeyouguyslater..." She babbles, flustered and incoherent. She scrambles up to her feet."Bye..."
[23:07] <Jran-Kri> "Ah... I'll leave you two to this," Alexa grins at Ferrous, beginning to creep away. She turns to Vela curiously, eyeing the knight up and down. "Ah... I'm not bad! What do you need?"
[23:08] <Karpinsky> "No, you can join the hug too." Karp offers
[23:08] * Nola_Caal feels as though she is being watched and glances around the pub nervously
[23:09] <ScarletFlame> "I... I..." The steel girl stammers, unable to tell!
[23:10] * MorgRora attempt to catch the fleeing girl's hand. "Hey, please wait." "Don't run away."
[23:10] <WhiteKnight> "... A lot of help, actually. I have power over sound, but... I don't know all that much about it, beyond basic things, like beat, timbre, pitch, rhythm... Basically, I want to try my hand at performing. Um... Do you know anything that sounds good with a big, heavy bell?"
[23:10] <MorgRora> Seeming concerned, they look at Amelia with worried eyes.
[23:10] <Jran-Kri> "Oh. Oh my," Alexa dodders in place, looking back at Karp. She smiles, quickly shaking her head. "Ah, that's okay. Thank you, though. Nice to see you again."
[23:11] <Karpinsky> "Come on, I don't bite~" Karp grinned.
[23:13] <Jran-Kri> "Er, I'm sure, but, ah... this, erm, lady here requires my urgent assistance I must aid her," Alexa sputters out at Karp, turning beet red as she turns to Vela again, trying to recompose herself. "S-sound, is it? Ah, that's, um... Well, that's lovely! Um. Oh my. Ah... Sorry, I'm a bit flustered. Um. I might know something, yes. Possibly. I might need to hear it. The bell, that is."
[23:13] <Karpinsky> "She can join too~"
[23:13] <ScarletFlame> "Well, I... it was the Black Coin," Ferro lowered her head in shame.
[23:14] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia starts to tug her hand free for a moment, then stops panicking and looks at the duo. She bites her lip. "I...Sorry. I just wasn't expecting.... She takes a deep breath, embarassment fading enough for her to speak."Sorry. It just...took me by surprise, that's all..." She chews her lip, standing there awkwardly.
[23:15] <Jran-Kri> Alexa tries to turn away again, finding her gaze drawn to Karp for reasons she can't understand. She's still a very bright shade of red -- but at the mention of the Black Coin, she pales a few. She tries to turn around again, but her shoulders are rigid in the posture of someone who is trying to avoid looking like they're listening while doing exactly that.
[23:15] <Karpinsky> "Ah." Karp looks down at her. "What's that?"
[23:16] <WhiteKnight> Vela looks at Karp, and just shies away, instead raising her bell-hammer... but she then lowers it. "Actually, it might be rather rude to swing it here. It can be... loud. Perhaps... another time." The young knight sighs, then raises an eyebrow at Alexa's reaction. "Black coin? I've never heard of such a thing. Is it... vile?"
[23:16] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia's not describing those thoughts for love or money. Alexa's conversation goes unnoticed behind her.
[23:16] <MorgRora> While Morg holds Amelia's hand Aurora stands up and moves around the table to take her other hand. "Would you like to take a walk with us?"
[23:17] <Jran-Kri> "... It depends on who you ask," Alexa says with a strange, absent tone in her voice. She shifts uncomfortably, then shakes her head. "Ah, if you say so. Another time, certainly. I... I'm sure it s-sounds j-just lovely."
[23:18] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia swallows. "Um...Maybe another time...I...I think I need some fresh air, just...on my own." She starts a bit at Aurora's hand on hers. "I...Sorry." And this time she tugs free and rushes for the door.
[23:18] <ScarletFlame> "... remember the little coin I usually carry around with me, Karp?" Noticing her friend's rather strange behavior only deepened Ferro's desire to destroy it... but where did it go? "It... corrupts. It gives you power."
[23:19] * MorgRora poke the carpet with their toes then sigh.
[23:19] <Karpinsky> (go after her~)
[23:19] <WhiteKnight> "... Then, why not simply get rid of it?" Vela suggests to Ferrous.
[23:20] <Karpinsky> "Oh." Karp hugged her tighter. "You two, come help me hug her."
[23:20] <MorgRora> [<?]
[23:21] <Jran-Kri> "... So you say," Alexa says darkly, almost to herself. Then she sees Amelia take off, and the black look on her face vanishes as she hurries after Amelia. "H-hey! Wait up!"
[23:21] <Karpinsky> (Vela and Alexa)
[23:22] <Karpinsky> (but the angels are fine too~)
[23:23] <WhiteKnight> Very cautious of Karpinsky, Vela approaches the hugging girls, and joins in.
[23:23] <ScarletFlame> The steel girl shakes her head in response to the bellsister. "In spite of my attempts, I cannot seem to destroy it, miss...?"
[23:23] <MorgRora> ...
[23:23] * MorgRora head over to envelope the girls with their arms and wings.
[23:26] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia's just outside. She's taking a few deep breaths- she doesn't seem upset so much as confused.
[23:27] <Jran-Kri> "A-Amelia?" Alexa wrings her hands nervously even so, sidling carefully up to her. "A-are you alright?"
[23:28] <WhiteKnight> "Vela Stadtberg," she answers. "And perhaps it is simply better left abandoned. But it had some... transformative, effect on you, from what I understand?"
[23:29] * Nola_Caal has had a few more drinks and her cheeks are now pink and she is a bit tipsy
[23:30] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia's head snaps up and she shakes it frantically. "A-Alexa? I'm fine! It's nothing!" She blurts. She's red-faced. A deep breath. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just had to...get some fresh air." She says, a bit more calmly. "Don't worry about it."
[23:31] <Jran-Kri> "... Are you sure?" Alexa tilts her head, giving Amelia a dubious side-eye. "You look a bit, ah... agitated."
[23:32] <MorgRora> Feeling better, the Angel twins decide to see if this newcomer is okay. Drinking alone isn't a good sign.
[23:32] <ScarletFlame> "And leave it for another girl to be corrupted by it? I cannot, miss Vela, and I /will/ not," Determination flows from the steel girl, as Lawbreaker appears! "Even if it will corrupt me, I have the will to withstand it."
[23:33] * MorgRora approach Nola_Caal, one on either side. "Hello Miss." "How are you."

[23:35] <Paladin-Amelia> "It's nothing!" Amelia insists, a bit too loudly, hair flying in her face from how much she's shaking her head. "Just...got surprised that's all...Can we talk about something else?"
[23:36] <MorgRora> "No, it's fine." "There's two of us." "would you like someone to talk to?"
[23:36] <Jran-Kri> "... O-okay," Alexa is quite cowed by this display, leaning back with a touch of fear. She jerks her thumb back inside. "I'm sorry. I... didn't mean to bother you. I-I'll just, ah... head back inside. P-perhaps you should, too. Some, er... A drink might do you good."
[23:36] <WhiteKnight> "But, why must you bear it alone?" Vela steels her voice and her resolve. "Why must you suffer for it? You've done nothing to bring this burden upon yourself, have you? It simply isn't right." A fire lights up in Vela's heart.
[23:38] <Nola_Caal> "Sure I would love to talk to someone did you always have wings? or am I seeing things again?" She asks swaying a bit as she sits up
[23:40] <ScarletFlame> The student closed their right hand into a fist. "... I do, Karp. Even if that happens again..." And in response to the knight... "This is something I and only I must take on, miss. It's my fate."
[23:40] <MorgRora> Sitting down, they answer simply. "We've had wings this whole time." "What's on your mind?"
[23:40] <Paladin-Amelia> "I...You weren't..." Amelia shakes her head. "You weren't bothering me...Sorry...I...Yeah. That sounds good..."

[23:41] <Nola_Caal> "It's kinda hazy but I'm really happy because I have somewhere to sleep today and food and alcohol" She grins widely
[23:42] <MorgRora> "Are you a bit out of sorts?" "Need a place to stay?"
[23:42] <Karpinsky> "If you insist, Ferro." Karp looked down at her.
[23:42] <Jran-Kri> "Right. Lovely. It, ah... Whatever it is, it'll be okay," Alexa says brightly, pushing open the pub's door and slipping back inside. She can't conceal the way her gaze immediately snaps back to Ferrous.
[23:45] <WhiteKnight> "... You sound like a hero from a knight tale," Vela notes sadly to Ferro. "One that does not end well." She pulls away, grabbing that hammer and dispelling it. "I wish you luck in your endeavor, and pray you ultimately do not lose yourself in it."
[23:45] <Nola_Caal> "Actually I haven't have one since I became magical but it was okay because my shield makes a great umbrella! Except for snow, snow made it very heavy to carry." She giggles as if she made a joke
[23:46] <Karpinsky> "Hey, get back here and hug us!" Karp called, both to Vela and Alexa.
[23:46] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia tags along with Alexa this time. She's dark haired, pale, with blue eyes and a face that a frown seems natural on- though right now, she's more or less distracted. She's short, but still a bit taller than her younger friend. She looks up at a vaguely familiar voice. Wait, does she know that girl?
[23:46] <ScarletFlame> The student gives their mentor a rather incredulous stare. "Karp, why."
[23:47] <Jran-Kri> Alexa starts in surprise, face flushing. She stumbles, shifting awkwardly in place, and then bumbles her way over to join the group hug. "E-er, o-okay! I, er... Hi."
[23:49] <MorgRora> "Well, let's not leave you hanging." "If we knew you a little better we'll set you up a place in our building. Maybe we should anyway." ... "What do you think?"
[23:50] <WhiteKnight> Ultimately disappointed with how this visit has gone, Vela takes her leave of the pub.
[23:51] <Nola_Caal> "You are two kind...I wouldn't want to impose however I'm not much for pulling my weight." She shrugs and hiccups a bit
[23:53] <ScarletFlame> Somehow, the hug got much more awkward! "H-hey."
[23:54] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia just stands there awkardly outside the hugblob.

[23:54] <Jran-Kri> "... Hi," Alexa says again, blushing even redder. "Ah... This is... nice. Yes. Lovely."
[23:55] * MorgRora wave to Amelia
[23:56] <MorgRora> "Don't worry about it miss.." "What's your name?"
[23:56] * Karpinsky puts one arm around Alexa. "Anyone else want in?"
[23:57] * MorgRora raise their hands but stay where they are
[23:57] <Jran-Kri> Alexa eeps, jolting sharply in place, but quickly settles back down with a crooked smile.
[23:58] <Nola_Caal> "Nola Caal what's your names? you two's names?"
[23:58] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia waves back. A brief blush, but it fades a moment later. "Ah...Hey...again?" She says to Karpinsky. She remembers her now. "...Karinky, right?" she ventures.
[23:59] <MorgRora> "We are Aurora and Morgana, for what it's worth." "Nice to meet you"
[00:01] <Karpinsky> "Karpinsky. You're Amelia? You wanna join the grouphug?"
[00:02] * MorgRora look at Amelia encouragingly, then nod pointedly.
[00:02] <ScarletFlame> Ferrous glances at the one whom her mentor called Amelia. "Erm, greetings. Have we... met before?" It felt as if they did, but there are such things as false positives.
[00:02] <Paladin-Amelia> She remembers talking to her now. Karpinsky. Venting, on that first awful day. It feels like it happened to someone else. She thinks. "Yeah, sure. Um, you probably don't remember me, but...thanks."
[00:03] <Nola_Caal> "It's at least twice as nice to meet you two because there are two of you" She smiles and asks for another drink
[00:03] <Karpinsky> "I do remember you, rookie. Now come hug us."
[00:04] <Paladin-Amelia> She glances over to Ferrous. "I...Um. Sorry. Maybe?" A nod, and she joins the hug.
[00:04] <Jran-Kri> Alexa seems more comfortable now that Amelia is in the massive pile to, grinning lopsidedly at her.
[00:04] * MorgRora consider to themselves. Is she too drunk to really talk to?
[00:04] <Paladin-Amelia> She can't help but twitch a bit at "rookie"- even if it's true.

[00:07] <Karpinsky> "So now what?" Karp pulled the hug-pile tighter.
[00:08] <Jran-Kri> "... I don't know," Alexa snickers under her breath. "I, um... I'm c-certainly not going anywhere!"
[00:08] <ScarletFlame> "I was thinking to- gah!" When there are four people hugging, it does become somewhat uncomfortable. The steel girl pouts to the rock girl.
[00:09] <Nola_Caal> "To be honest this is the most I've drank in a loooong time because I'm so happy to have met so many wonderful people in the same day..." she sighs a happy sigh but frowns a bit "I should probably leave tomorrow so I don't cause anyone else grief"
[00:09] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia's a bit uncomfortable. It's definitely very...huggy with everyone squashed together, which is...nice? Probably?
[00:10] <MorgRora> "We'll take you to our place nearby. Tomorrow u can choose to come stay or not."
[00:10] <Karpinsky> "Shall we get some drinks?"
[00:11] <Jran-Kri> "A-ah yes, that, um... That sounds good," Alexa nods at Karp. Or at least, she tries to. She looks over at Ferrous. "Are you, um, alright, Ferrous? I- I admit, this is, um, a bit, ah... tight."
[00:11] * MorgRora want to join karp's harem but don't. At least not right now.
[00:13] <ScarletFlame> "A little bit, Alexa," Looking somewhat discomforted, Ferro laments that she was born an early bloomer. "Karp, we are /not/ getting drinks. I do not want to have a repeat of last time."
[00:13] <Karpinsky> "No drinks like that." Karp said.
[00:14] <Paladin-Amelia> "What happened last time?" Amelia asks, at least as much as she can ask from the hugblob.
[00:14] <Jran-Kri> "... Last time?" Alexa is quite confused.
[00:14] <Karpinsky> "Lewd vodka."
[00:14] <ScarletFlame> "/Very/ lewd vodka."
[00:15] == flashdrive [[email protected]] has joined #TheWand&Circlet
[00:16] <Jran-Kri> Alexa looks fit to shoot steam out of her ears, face turning a remarkably bright red.
[00:16] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia blinks. "...Ah. Um. Yeah. That'd be...bad."
[00:16] <Jran-Kri> "O-o-oh m-my, um, I, uh, I... I... see?" She doesn't sound like she does, but judging by her expression, her mind is wandering.
[00:16] <Nola_Caal> "If you insist angel twins" she nods and sways a bit as she gets sort  of dizzy from the movement
[00:17] <MorgRora> "Maybe we should just carry you." "That way no one falls."
[00:18] <ScarletFlame> "You don't want to know how bad it was," It was hard to tell whether Ferro was frowning from the hugpiling, or just remembering the fiasco. "Though I suppose it... ended well." The steel girl blushes as well, glowing redder than heated metal.
[00:19] <Nola_Caal> "S-sure I guess? what if I'm to heavy are you sure you can carry me?" she sways dangerously and almost falls off her chair
[00:20] <MorgRora> "We are stronger than we look." "A bit."
[00:20] <Jran-Kri> Alexa sounds like she's hyperventilating even as a tight, awkward grin forces its way up her face.
[00:20] <Paladin-Amelia> ...Even Amelia's going a bit red again as her mind wanders. Change of subject. Right now. Before someone has a meltdown from sheer awkward. "Ah. Right! Got it!...So, Ferrous, huh? Do you have metal powers?" Amelia blurts, tugging one hand free and waves.
[00:20] <Jran-Kri> "C-c-congratulations!" She says. Then she frowns, half thoughtful and half ready to fly into a panic. "Um, wait, no, sorry, that's... no, that's not what you're supposed to say."
[00:21] * MorgRora decide now is a good time to act, and scoop the girl up before she can sway off her chair.
[00:21] <Karpinsky> "So, drinks?"
[00:24] * Nola_Caal curls into the angels arms giggling a bit to herself "you are pretty strong aren't you"
[00:24] <Jran-Kri> "Ah... yes. Yes. Yes, yes," Alexa nods emphatically. "Yes, th-that sounds fantastic."
[00:25] <ScarletFlame> The steel girl nods to the real paladin! "Yes, I do have some control over metal. I'll show you... once Karp let goes of me."
[00:26] <MorgRora> [didn't know alexa was stoked about drinks]
[00:26] * Karpinsky reluctantly leaves the hugpile and pulls out some vodka. "Shall we?"
[00:27] <ScarletFlame> (( It's better than thinking about lewd vodka. ))
[00:27] <Paladin-Amelia> "Cool." Amelia says from her part of the hugblob, shifting a bit in place. She takes a deep breath after the hug ends, straightening. A glance to Alexa.
[00:27] <Jran-Kri> ((She's more stoked to get out of the hugpile. She's not Lynne Jr.))
[00:28] <MorgRora> [hmm, i bet she's just looking for that lewd vodka]
[00:28] <MorgRora> [>lewd vodka. >lets get drinks >???]
[00:28] <Jran-Kri> "Oh yes, ah... she's really quite good with it," Alexa nods at Ferrous, smiling at Amelia. "M-my first day, I, ah, she helped me, er, get a handle on my powers. She was quite..."
[00:28] <Jran-Kri> "... What is that?" Alexa stares at the bottle in Karp's hand, shocked.
[00:29] <MorgRora> [oh the laughing]
[00:29] <Karpinsky> "Normal vodka."
[00:30] <Jran-Kri> "N-n-n-normal," Alexa nods slowly. She looks like Karp had just said she was carrying a bottle of poison. "I-I-I'm s-sorry, that m-might be a bit, um, strong. For me."
[00:31] <Karpinsky> "Relax, it's fine." Karp chugs it.
[00:31] <ScarletFlame> Taking a deep breath in and out now that she was not being piled onto, metal snakes up around Ferro's right hand. It engulfed it until the hand was completely covered, solidifying into a gauntlet!... or so it seemed. Taking a pose, Ferrous immediately failed the awesome category! "I am Ferrous Argent, the Cold Steel Justice! My magic may not be strong, but
[00:31] <ScarletFlame> my fists will break the heavens!"
[00:31] <MorgRora> "Go for it Alexa, I mean, we wouldn't." "But i'm sure karp will show you a good time."
[00:31] <Paladin-Amelia> "Oh?" Amelia smiles at Alexa, looking a bit more positively inclined toward Ferrous. "Well, any friend of yours is a friend of mine." Amelia shakes her head at the mention of vodka. Why does she keep running into drinkers?
[00:33] <Jran-Kri> Alexa gives the angels a strange, almost fearful look. But at the sight of Karp taking so casually to it, she draws herself up, setting her jaw.
[00:33] <Paladin-Amelia> She looks around to the angels that've just popped up again. "Guys?" She's forgotten her earlier awkwardness for now. A frown. "I don't think that's a good idea, Alexa."
[00:34] <Paladin-Amelia> She shakes her head firmly.
[00:34] <Jran-Kri> "... Well, I-I'll try anything once," Alexa grins at Amelia. It is quite possibly the most fearful grin she's ever let loose. "I- I mean, I'm a bit curious."
[00:35] * Karpinsky holds out the bottle. "Here."
[00:35] <MorgRora> "Be careful with strong drink, but have fun."
[00:36] * MorgRora head to the door and out, carrying Nola the short distance to their home.
[00:37] * Nola_Caal has passed out in their arms
[00:37] <Jran-Kri> "U-um. Um. Do... do you have a glass?" Alexa waggles a finger at the bottle. "I-it's unsanitary, you know."
[00:38] <ScarletFlame> "I'm with Amelia here. If lewd vodka is anything like vodka, you shouldn't drink it," The other paladin agreed! "Though if you do drink it, it probably won't be as bad."
[00:40] <Karpinsky> "It's not like lewd vodka. It just makes you drunk, not drunk and horny."
[00:40] <Paladin-Amelia> "...Don't drink too much, okay?" Amelia says reluctantly. She can't bring herslf to argue that much with Alexa-and knows better than to expect her to turn down a new experience. "It shouldn't take much to get the taste. I think."
[00:42] <Jran-Kri> "O-of course," Alexa nods at Amelia with a quick grin. "Just a tad. You know me, I can never resist something new."
[00:42] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia rolls her eyes, but smiles back.
[00:45] <Jran-Kri> "A-anyway," Alexa takes the bottle by the neck, looking at Karp as if hoping her to suddenly snatch it back, despite her nervous smile. "May I?"
[00:45] <Karpinsky> "Feel free." Karp grins.
[00:46] <Jran-Kri> Alexa hefts the bottle, testing its weight. She stares at the sloshing liquid curiously. Then she takes a deep breath, brings it to her lips and takes a small sip.
[00:46] <Jran-Kri> She is still for a second. Then she tears the bottle away, spitting out the drink and sticking out her tongue.
[00:47] <Karpinsky> "Too much for you?" Karpinsky laughs.
[00:47] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia can't help but giggle a bit. "Ah...You okay?"
[00:47] <Jran-Kri> "H-how can you drink that?!" She looks at Karp like the other girl has grown a second head. "Th- that's... that's just... eugh!"
[00:48] <Paladin-Amelia> Amelia's giggling. "Yep, sounds about right..."
[00:48] == IWBTG [[email protected]] has quit []
[00:48] <Karpinsky> "You haven't even tried it on fire yet!" Karp jokes.
[00:50] <Paladin-Amelia> She gives Alexa a consolation shoulderpad. "Water?" she offers her younger friend, grinning.
[00:50] <Paladin-Amelia> *shoulderpat
[00:50] <Jran-Kri> "How do you even drink something that's on fire?!" Alexa is quite confused. She nods eagerly at Amelia. "Please!"
[00:51] <Paladin-Amelia> Still grinning, Amelia wanders over to the bartender. She comes back with a glass of water.
[00:53] <Jran-Kri> Alexa snatches the glass from her hands, downing it feverishly.
[00:54] <Jran-Kri> "Well! That's certainly not for me," she says, grimacing as the taste lingers in her mouth.
[00:54] <Paladin-Amelia> "You sure?" Amelia teases. "Not even a bit?"
[00:55] <Karpinsky> "You want some?" Karp offers it to Amelia.
[00:55] <Paladin-Amelia> "Eh? Ah, no thanks." Amelia's distracted from her teasing, shaking her head. She's changed a lot, but she definitely was never much of a drinker and that's still true.
[00:56] <MorgRora> [good on her]
[00:57] <Jran-Kri> "Absolutely!" Alexa shakes her head and sticks out her tongue again. "Eurgh. I'm going to be tasting that for a week..."
[00:58] <Karpinsky> "I can wash that out of your mouth~" Karp offers.
[00:58] <Jran-Kri> Alexa blushes again, leaning back in shock.
[00:59] <Paladin-Amelia> "Really?" Amelia shakes her head.
[00:59] <Jran-Kri> "A-ah, th-that's, um, q-quite alright, thank you," she snickers, smiling queasily.
[01:00] <Paladin-Amelia> *arms folded with a frown.
[01:01] <Karpinsky> "You never know~" Karp grins. "Ferro, want some?" She offers the vodka
