  1. [21:04] She'd turn back to wave at Emi, with a cough then she turned away, "Feel free to take a seat, genuinely bored. Talkin' about this whole Dun thing again. Not like we don't have enough goin' on with the war-" ,she'd pull out her journal, "Speakin' of-" ,she'd read through before closing it, "Had one of my boys tell me that things are lookin' pretty good. We might actually win this battle. Who can say 'till it's over though."
  2.  
  3. "Oh, yeah don't mind me, I'm jabberin' away-" ,she'd turn back to the kid, "And don't get me wrong, Dun's one of the oldest Therian's left around, but he still has to abide necessary restrictions."
  4.  
  5. She'd look over to Dun as he came into the square, "-Speak of the man himself, I actually wanted to ask you a few things Dun. If that's alright with you-? After uhm- Whatever exchange you two had goin' here."
  6. (Jamey)
  7. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  8.  
  9. [21:10] "Figured that's what you were on about."
  10.  
  11. She'd not say more than that, now that the man was actually here and all. She wasn't about to incite anything in the middle of Theria, it'd probably get her kicked out of the place. plus, she wasn't stupid. She didn't start anything unprovoked.
  12.  
  13. Anything she heard were just rumors to her, or boasting from Duana.
  14.  
  15. "With Myllenoris pulling out of the war, Osrona did lose quite a chunk of their manpower. They couldn't beat us alone with just their forces so, I'd expect we have quite the edge. We'll just have to wait and see though."
  16.  
  17. She had high hopes for the forces of Theria, even if she wasn't a fighter herself or anything of the sort. She'd just wait to see how it all turned out though.
  18. (Emi)
  19. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  20.  
  21. [21:10] Jamey says, "Mhm. Waiting's all we can really do."
  22. [21:11] Jamey asks, "But, Dun-?"
  23. [21:11] Emi says, "As long as they don't siege the place or do anything dumber, I'll be fine with the turnout."
  24. [21:12] Arch says, "They won't actually seem all tha' bright."
  25. [21:12] Emi says, "Osrona? They aren't."
  26. [21:13] Jamey says, "If we do win though..."
  27. [21:13] Jamey says, "It'll be great."
  28. [21:15] Jamey says, "Oh, some good news besides the war."
  29. [21:15] Emi asks, "Oh?"
  30. [21:15] Wan Titanborn says, "Arthur still not here...hm"
  31. [21:15] Jamey says, "The witch that took my arm, got news from my friend Xyth. They killed the witch."
  32. [21:15] Jamey says, "Said he needed to tell me somethin' in-person too though, just hope she didn't use my arm for something... Ungodly..."
  33. [21:17] Jamey says, "God knows, with old... 1,000 year old... Ghost- Witches..."
  34. [21:17] Emi asks, "Think they're just holding onto your arm?"
  35. [21:18] Jamey says, "She took it, not sure if she still has it, but let's hope not."
  36. [21:18] Jamey says, "As long as she didn't hex me or nothin' I'm fine."
  37. [21:19] Dun Task asks, "Hmm?"
  38. [21:20] Jamey says, "Oh, good."
  39. [21:21] Jamey says, "Dun, could you just sorta..."
  40. [21:21] Jamey says, "That night with Magne, the encounter, and the hit you had put on her. I was wonderin' what your point of view was in all that."
  41. [21:24] Khione sits at the table.
  42. (Khione)
  43. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  44.  
  45. [21:24] Khione says, "Hello."
  46. [21:25] Emi says, "Hello."
  47. [21:26] Dun Task asks, "Hmm?"
  48. [21:26] Dun Task says, "Jamey what the fuck are you talking about."
  49. [21:26] Jamey says, "The night in the bar."
  50. [21:26] Dun Task says, "What night in the bar? "
  51. [21:26] Arch whispers something.
  52. [21:27] Jamey says, "When Magne proposed to Lyn."
  53. [21:27] Dun Task asks, "Huh?"
  54. [21:27] Jamey asks, "You hit on her, remember-?"
  55. [21:27] Dun Task says, "No. If I had put a hit on her, she'd be dead."
  56. [21:27] Jamey says, "Mmm."
  57. [21:27] Dun Task says, "Magne's engagement was irrelevant to me."
  58. [21:27] Dun Task says, "She threw a fit cause I saw Lynette naked."
  59. [21:27] Dun Task says, "Dunno why."
  60. [21:27] Jamey asks, "Mmm-?"
  61. [21:27] Arch says, "No you didn't."
  62. [21:27] He sighs. "Nobody know where Arthur is? He said he was going on a quest for a new weapon but I haven't seen him since then." He stated
  63.  
  64.  
  65. He itches his nose for a quick second before he continued to speak. "Is he at Ilburg or something?" He asked, wondering.
  66. (Wan Titanborn)
  67. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  68.  
  69. [21:27] Arch exclaims, "You can't even see her clothed!"
  70. [21:27] Dun Task says, "Indeed I did. Braille."
  71. [21:27] Dun Task says, "Had to carve into her bones for runes."
  72. [21:27] Arch says, ". . . Wait."
  73. [21:27] Jamey says, "The energy things..."
  74. [21:27] Dun Task says, "Quite so."
  75. [21:27] Arch quietly puts two and two together-..
  76. (Arch)
  77. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  78.  
  79. [21:27] Arch says, "Oh."
  80. [21:27] Jamey says, "If you've ever seen her fight, she lights up like a beacon."
  81. [21:27] Dun Task says, "Needless to say, I'm not sure who told you I put a hit on Magne."
  82. [21:27] Dun Task says, "But they were likely stupid."
  83. [21:28] Dun Task says, "And certainly wrong."
  84. [21:28] Jamey says, "I heard it was Scarlett you sent."
  85. [21:28] Emi says, "It was Duana talking of it."
  86. [21:28] Arch asks, "The lady wit' the skimpy dress?"
  87. [21:29] Jamey asks, "I believe-?"
  88. [21:29] Jamey says, "She's always wearing white and what-not."
  89. [21:30] Dun Task asks, "Hmm?"
  90. [21:30] Dun Task says, "Doubtful, Duana knew my plots."
  91. [21:30] Dun Task says, "She was likely speaking of someone else."
  92. [21:30] Emi says, "Nope."
  93. [21:30] Emi says, "She was speaking specifically of you, name and all."
  94. [21:30] Jamey says, "Mhm."
  95. [21:30] Dun Task says, "Probably in response to someone. As I said, I knew my niece well."
  96. [21:31] Emi says, "Not that it matters much, if you don't have a hit on her."
  97. [21:31] Dun Task says, "Indeed."
  98. [21:31] Jamey says, "Truly."
  99. [21:31] Jamey says, "But if you do..."
  100. [21:31] Dun Task says, "Though this conversation sorta makes me want to put a hit on her."
  101. [21:31] Dun Task says, "Since she thinks there is."
  102. [21:31] Jamey says, "Mmm."
  103. [21:31] Jamey says, "Bold statement."
  104. [21:32] Arch says, "Self-fulfilling prophecy."
  105. [21:32] Dun Task says, "Yes, as they tend to be."
  106. [21:32] Khione says, "If you aren't going to fight the old man over it, probably best to drop it.."
  107. [21:32] Emi says, "I do as I please."
  108. [21:32] Dun Task says, "It wouldn't even be.....the seventh person I've had killedi n this city."
  109. [21:32] Dun Task says, "Probably nineth."
  110. [21:33] Jamey says, "Fight-? God no, if he's innocent I'd just be hurting good ole' Dun."
  111. [21:33] Jamey says, "If he isn't though."
  112. [21:33] Arch says, "Don't think you'd be hurtin' good ol' dun if he ain't innocent."
  113. [21:33] Jamey says, "Not like I'd challenge him, I respect Dun far too much to waste his time throwing light at him."
  114. [21:33] Dun Task says, "Quite so."
  115. [21:33] Jamey says, "I'd send some mercenaries..."
  116. [21:33] Dun Task says, "I'd pay them better to kill you."
  117. [21:33] Jamey asks, "80k better?"
  118. [21:33] Dun Task says, "Yup."
  119. [21:33] Jamey says, "You underestimate me oldie, I've got a bit on hand."
  120. [21:33] Jamey asks, "What're you worth nowadays?"
  121. [21:34] Jamey says, "If you care to say."
  122. [21:34] Dun Task says, "A wise man doesn't say they have 80K in their pockets."
  123. [21:34] Jamey says, "Good I'm not a man."
  124. [21:35] Khione looks for the nearest wall, but was too lazy to walk over and slam her head against it.
  125. (Khione)
  126. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  127.  
  128. [21:35] Dun Task says, "You're either, I'd reckon."
  129. [21:35] Dun Task says, "Anywho, it's irrelevant. There is no hit."
  130. [21:35] Arch asks, "Dick-measurin' contest over, yet?"
  131. [21:35] Dun Task says, "I'd hope so."
  132. [21:35] Jamey says, "Mmm."
  133. [21:35] Dun Task says, "I've had enough passive aggressive lesbian posturing for a lifetime."
  134. [21:36] Jamey asks, "What-?"
  135. [21:36] Emi asks, "Someone here's a lesbian?"
  136. [21:36] Jamey says, "Knew age'd take the mind eventually but-"
  137. [21:37] Dun Task says, "Mhm."
  138. [21:37] Arch says, "It's me."
  139. [21:37] Arch says, "I'm the lesbian."
  140. [21:38] Dun Task says, "I assumed it was Jamey lusting after Lynette."
  141. [21:38] Dun Task says, "Though I reckon that changed with Magne."
  142. [21:39] Wan Titanborn asks, "So nobody seen Arthur?"
  143. [21:42] Arch says, "Nope."
  144. [21:42] Dun Task says, "Nope."
  145. [21:42] Dun Task says, "Probably on the battlefield."
  146. [21:44] She'd continue then, "I only ask Dun because, despite any of this, I hold a great respect for ya'-" ,she'd mention then, "You're an elder here, you've been here quite a bit. It's odd to think you did anything like this to such a fundamental member of our community, I mean it'd be perfect I'm sure, a vacant spot as commanding templar-" ,she'd look up before sighing.
  147.  
  148. "But you have the best for Theria in-mind, I'm sure-" ,she'd cough at the mention of Arthur, "Knowin' Arthur he's probably fighting-" ,she'd look through her journal before shrugging.
  149.  
  150. "Anyhow, I'd hope not. If what you say is true, it could very well be possible you're being framed. Who knows anymore though-" ,she'd lean back, "Seems like somethin' else is 'bout to happen after something's fixed around here."
  151. (Jamey)
  152. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  153.  
  154. [21:48] Khione yawns as she watches the interaction.
  155. (Khione)
  156. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  157.  
  158. [21:48] Wan Titanborn asks, "You seen Arthur?"
  159. [21:50] Hiro-tzu says, "...No."
  160. [21:50] Dun would yawn lightly as he continued to click his teeth idly in cheer, taking a thoughtful drag from his corncob pipe as the elder of the Fireblooded contently heard Jamey's spoken words with a light shake of his head. It was a matter he was content to move past, and so he would.
  161.  
  162. "Fundamental member of the community is a stretch. Magne's a good kid, certainly not a half bad fighter, but she's already abandoned Theria once for Lynette. Can't have faith she won't do it again, sorry to say."
  163.  
  164. The elder would nod firmly, he wasn't someone easy to persuade once an opinion had been strongly poised. Magne would need to prove herself far more than a few meagerly trials to restore his trust after the fiasco in the temple.
  165.  
  166. "If I wanted to replace Magne as templar commander, it'd be as simple as me firing her like I almost did last time she had a public outburst and acted like a child. I have people killed to handle annoyances, not take positions."
  167.  
  168. Dun would shrug lightly, blowing a cloud of minty smoke up towards the distant horizon.
  169.  
  170. "That's all there is to it. If I had a hit on Magne, you wouldn't know about it. And she'd have already been attacked at least once, if not twice. I usually hire two fellas, partners work best for hits. Like my old hit men Mister Water and Mister Glass. I miss those boys..."
  171. (Dun Task)
  172. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  173.  
  174. [21:52] Jamey says, "Well. If that's your point-of-view, then I've nothin' left to pursue."
  175. [21:52] Jamey says, "You'll have to forgive, hate drama, I like hearin' things for myself..."
  176. [21:53] Jamey says, "Rumors... Can be too wildly innacurate."
  177. [21:53] Emi says, "Best to hear things from the source."
  178. [21:53] Cetta says, "Hi Emi."
  179. [21:53] Arch says, "Spreadin' them further can be just as bad."
  180. [21:53] Cetta says, "It was, told you i'd miss you."
  181. [21:54] Wan Titanborn says, "Damn.. where is he."
  182. [21:54] Cetta says, "one second though, I wanna say hi to Emi and Idon't think she can hear me from over here."
  183. [21:54] Emi says, "Hello."
  184. [21:54] Cetta says, "Oh, you can, alrigh tgood."
  185. [21:54] Emi says, "I heard you."
  186. [21:54] Jamey says, "Eh, my intention ain't to spread, sometimes it's necesary to have things out in the open though."
  187. [21:54] Emi says, "I've got some good ears."
  188. [21:54] Cetta exclaims, "never know!"
  189. [21:55] Emi says, "He's probably out fighting, asking repeatedly won't make him come back faster."
  190. [21:55] Arch says, ". . ."
  191. [21:55] Arch slowly panned over toward Khione-- Glaring.
  192. (Arch)
  193. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  194.  
  195. [21:55] Emi visibly cringes at the pun.
  196. (Emi)
  197. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  198.  
  199. [21:56] Arch says, "P-U-N-S."
  200. [21:56] Jamey whispers to Emi: Do you believe him-?
  201. [21:56] Cetta says, "Puns are good, anyone who doesn't like them sucks."
  202. [21:56] Emi whispers to Jamey: No. He's being to open about his methods.
  203. [21:56] Jamey whispers to Emi: My thoughts exactly...
  204. [21:56] Arch whispers something.
  205. [21:56] Emi says, "I like puns, that one just was terrible."
  206. [21:56] Jamey wrote down some, 'details'. Before finally stuffing away her journal.
  207. (Jamey)
