MoaR session 1

<[GM]Maryn>[You, along with a worldly experienced master, who grows tired of rotting inside a mansion. While
surrounded by beautiful maids at his beck and call, it was not what he was looking for. He wanted.. an adventure.
With that said, he began to leave his old life behind by rallying up any interested maids or potential recruits who
are interested in joining his escapade. Love! Betrayal...suspense!.. and snakes... FUCKING SNAKES. Now.. please
watch warmly as our crew distraught themselves before the adventures even begin. ]
* [GM]Maryn sighs as she knocks on the door of Cliven Harts.
<Cliven> No need to knock, just come in.
<[GM]Maryn> .. I apologize. It's an old habit. I've come to notify you of your plans today sir, your next batch of recruits are here sir.
* Cliven puts down his pen and pats her on the head.
<[GM]Maryn>  S-sir.. please desist from your habits...
<Cliven> Thank you, I'll come get them myself, its improper of a master to not come greet his fellow recruits.
<[GM]Maryn> [Before she could get him, Cliven had already left his chambers to head down torwards the waiting room, where unknown people outside of this mansion and interested maids alike await their call.]
* [par]Nafrit silently stands still looking at her feet. She doesn't seem aware that the master had entered th area.
* Cliven glances a look torward the recruit names... Nafrit? What kind of name is that? But as he glances over, he recognizes some of these names that weren't his maids.
<[Rut]Janie> Golly, this sure is a bi~g mansion. Do ya think Mister Cliven lives here all year round?
* [Rut]Janie 's ferret makes... ferret noises.
<Cliven>  Strange...ahh--
* Cliven bumps into the door, deeply concentrated with the names.
<[Rut]Janie> Huh?
* [Rut]Janie turns.
<Cliven> Ah.. ow ow ow... dammit..
* Lynette rushes over and opens the door, looking at the new arrivals from the entrance. Someone to sympathize with...
<[Rut]Janie> H-hey, mister! Are you okay?
* Cliven opens the door at the same time Lynette does, with his big warm smile he greets the fellow maids and recruits alike.
<Cliven> Y-yes. I'm quite fine.
* Cliven rubs his temple, need to get softer doors next time.
* [par]Nafrit looks up after hearing the bump but she still doesn't say anything
<[GM]Maryn> [This man, with green hair, aquamarine eye. He stands fairly tall, but does not look threatening in anyway. Decked in a fairly odd western-ish outfit, with a bolt-action rifle slunged over his shoulder.]
<[Rut]Janie> Phew. I'm glad~
<[Rut]Janie> Say, mister, do you work for Dr. Cliven?
* Cliven shifts his glasses so he can take a better look at all them.
<[par]Nafrit>  Why are you armed in the house..?
* Lynette looks at Janie a little strangely, but waits to see if he'll answer himself.
<Cliven> My dear... I -am- Dr.Cliven.
* Cliven laughs heartily.
<[Rut]Janie> Wha-- OHMIGOSH! S-sorry, Doctor, I couldn't tell-- I mean, uhm, I didn't know!
* [Rut]Janie turns red, apologizing profusely. Her ferret nearly falls off her shoulders from the fuss.
<Cliven> That's quite alright, since that was the intention of my wardrobe today.
* [BNS]Mina suddenly runs down the stairs, barely half-dressed, struggling to get geared up...
<[BNS]Mina> Ah! I'm late, I'm late, I'm laaaahhhhh!!!
* [BNS]Mina trips and tumbles down the stairs!
* [BNS]Mina lands in a pile of clothes, gear and Mina at the foot of the stairs...
<[BNS]Mina> Owwwwww...
* [par]Nafrit walks over
* [Rut]Janie leans over Mina. She tilts her head.
<Cliven> Seems our other recruit is here as well.
* Cliven smirks.
<[par]Nafrit>  Do you need help?
* Lynette walks over and picks her up without asking.
* [BNS]Mina rubs her head, blushing and laughing it off.
<[Rut]Janie> Hmm... oh! You must be Mister Cliven's wife!
<[BNS]Mina> Ahaha... sorry, Dad...
<[par]Nafrit>  If she was his wife... I would be concerned..."
<Cliven> Now, what did I say about being late?.
<Cliven> At least 5 minutes. not 4.
<[BNS]Mina> Ah... right.
<[Rut]Janie> ...?
* [BNS]Mina grabs up her gear quickly and continues suiting up as she steps into line
<Cliven> Right then, please come up to my chambers if you will please...
* Lynette walks back, this time assuming a position directly behind Cliven.
* Cliven turns around and heads upstairs, never turning back.
<[Rut]Janie> Yes sir, Mister Dr. Cliven Harts, sir!
* [par]Nafrit follows the lead of others silently
* [Rut]Janie rushes to follow Cliven with such zeal, she passes him without realizing it.
* [BNS]Mina is still trying to fit her gloves on as she holds her pack in her teeth and follows
* Cliven looks at this girl who passed him.. .oO( Energetic huh? This should be interesting)
<Cliven> [As you walk down along the hallway, you find that its rather minimalistic than grandeur or even majestic. It's really all too normal for someone as rich and as popular as he is.]
<Cliven> I hope my taste is not weird for you girls is it?
* Cliven talks as he scribbles something down on his notepad.
<[par]Nafrit> "I like it."
* Lynette takes a glance at each of the others in turn, slinging her pack over her shoulder. It's a long bag, the kind you'd expect to hold something like curtain rods or golf clubs.
* [Rut]Janie is well down the hallway when she realizes she doesn't know where she's going. She finds a lovely ballpoint pen, though.
<[Rut]Janie> Golly! Look, Ricky, it's got gold on it!
<Cliven> [Eventually you arrive at his chamber, everything about it is normal, from the door, and various furniture arrangements and even his cup of water on the table. Its... styrofoam. He helps himself into his plastic chair as he faces his new girls.]
* [par]Nafrit seems to relax as this is starting to remind her of a very spacious version of her home
<Cliven> Now then, please introduce yourself to me even if I've seen you from before. I tend to have short memories sometime.
* Cliven motions for Nafrit to come first.
* [Rut]Janie isn't there.
<[Rut]Janie> Huh? Where did everybody go, Ricky?
<[par]Nafrit> "Oh sorry... I'm Nafrit.  I have a passion for Ejyptian mythology, as everyone calls it."
<Cliven> Hmm.. what do you know about the egyptians and their culture?
<[par]Nafrit> "Oh their culture?  Well they um..."
* [par]Nafrit blushes
<[par]Nafrit> "They had some interesting fiction."
* Cliven cocks an eyebrow.
<Cliven> Like what might I ask?
<[par]Nafrit> "O-oh, well there was this one unearthed tablet.  Well um, you see it... Well it was a woman doing her make up as a man with a... three foot phallis pleasured her."
<Cliven> hmm... how.. interesting. I think you'll be fine~
<Cliven> Oh, to all of you. I hope you can perform some form of manual labor.
* [Rut]Janie walks in
<[Rut]Janie> Oh, Dr. Harts, Dr. Harts! I found this!
* [Rut]Janie holds the pen up triumphantly.
<Cliven> Oh.. so that's where my pen went.. God damn it Maryn...
<[Rut]Janie> Is it ancient, Dr. Harts? Is it a remnant of a lost line of kings?
* Lynette turns to the side and shuffles her feet to stand next to Mina, then looks at Janie's antics. She eyes her a little strangely.
* [Rut]Janie is exited.
* [GM]Maryn appears from the shadow and you hear a gun click.
<[GM]Maryn> Did you say something...~?
* [par]Nafrit shutters when she hears the click
<Cliven> No Maryn~ I'm just talking how horrible your memories are. You remember this pen?
* Lynette 's right eye twitches very slightly; she turns her head over in Maryn's direction with a curious expression on her face.
* [GM]Maryn looks down.
<[GM]Maryn> Ah... that. I thought I threw it away after you named it after your dead goldfish.
<[Rut]Janie> A... a golden fish? Gee willikers, Dr. Harts!
* [Rut]Janie 's eyes sparkle in amazement.
<Cliven> Yes~ Now.. put that gun away. You're gonna poke someone's brain out with that thing.
* [GM]Maryn does put it away and falls back into the shadow.
<[par]Nafrit>  What kind of adventure are we going on, sir?
<Cliven> Ah yes, our overall mission is to go tomb raiding!
* [par]Nafrit becomes excited
<[par]Nafrit> "What tombs?"
<[Rut]Janie> Waaah~... A real expedition!
<Cliven> You name an ancient lost race, we go to it, we loot, we profit.
* [Rut]Janie hugs Cliven. The ferret skitters onto her back so as not to get sandwiched.
<Cliven> H-hey.... c'mon now. I've got to look proper addressing the others first.
<[Rut]Janie> Thank you sooo much for taking me with you, Dr. Harts! I'll be the best assistant there ever was, honest!
<Cliven> Yes yes... please let me finish talking to the other girls ok?
* Cliven pats Janie on the head as well.. oh dear this is going to be a habit.
<[par]Nafrit>  If we could any of the lost temples of the more obscure deties...
* [Rut]Janie releases Cliven. She falls back in line, grinning like an idiot. Which is probably not a misrepresentation.
<Cliven> It could be done miss Nafrit and welcome to the team.
* Cliven smiles
<[Rut]Janie> Oh, gee whiz! I plumb forgot to introduce myself! I'm Janie Richards, nice to meet ya! And this is Ricky Richards!
* [par]Nafrit smiles
<Cliven> Hello you two.
* [Rut]Janie salutes like they taught her in girl scouts.
* Cliven greets Janie and her pet and then turns to Lynette next.
<Cliven> You're next.
<Lynette> Ah... right. I'm Lynette Pinfield; I've been working with you for a month or two now.
<Cliven> What will you contribute to this team miss Lynette?
* [Rut]Janie 's ferret sniffs the air. Unbeknownst to his owner, he slithers down to the ground and begins to crawl onto Nafrit.
* [par]Nafrit eeps and jumps when she feels something touch her ankle
<[par]Nafrit> "What was that?!"
<Lynette> Eh... ah... jack of all trades. Adaptable, used to the outdoors, I guess?
<Cliven> Can you perform menial and manual labor?
* Lynette nods.
<Cliven> Can you speak any other languages than English?
* [Rut]Janie 's ferret climbs up Nafrit's leg and under her clothes.
* Lynette brings up her hand and turns it over several times in a so-so gesture.
* [par]Nafrit freaks out and flails around
<[par]Nafrit> "Get it off!"
<[Rut]Janie> Gosh, what's gotten into you, ma'am?
<Cliven> We may or probably going to be running into resistant natives at some point. I hope you can fight.
* [Rut]Janie 's ferret, now in Nafrit's shirt, darts all around in a panic!
<Lynette> Certainement, monsieur.
* Lynette nods again, lower and more slowly.
<Cliven> Vraiment, Bon.. Bon... merci beaucoup madmoiselle..
<[par]Nafrit> "Ah what is it!  Get it out!"
* [par]Nafrit tries to hit the moving lump in her shirt
* Cliven chuckles at the two bantering amongst each other.
<Cliven> Very well Lynette, that will do. Welcome to the team.
* Cliven holds out his hand.
<Lynette> Bien sur, docteur; I'll do all I can.
* Lynette takes Cliven's hand.
* Cliven shakes it.
<Cliven> Thank you, I hope we will do well together.
* [Rut]Janie 's ferret flees from Nafrit into the safety of it's master's shirt, sticking it's head out of her collar.
<Cliven> Now then.. you're my last one for today.
* Cliven motions Mina to take the stand.
<[Rut]Janie> Oh, Ricky... Ehehe, I'm real sorry about that, ma'am.
* [BNS]Mina grins happily after having been bouncing up and down on her heels excitedly for the past few minutes
* [par]Nafrit falls over and tries to catch her breath
<[Rut]Janie> Wah! A-are you okay??
<[BNS]Mina> Umm... ok! Hi! I'm Mina, and Da- I mean, Dr. Harts said that this is the first time I'll be allowed to follow him on an expedition and I'm really excited!
* [Rut]Janie kneels beside Nafrit, concerned.
<[par]Nafrit>  Just lost my balance
* [par]Nafrit avoids eye contact out of embarrasment
<Cliven> I am Dr. Harts.. Mina..
<[BNS]Mina> I know thaaat! I'm just introducing myself to everyone else! You already know all about me, Dad!
<[Rut]Janie> Hmm... well, if you say so. Upsy-daisy!
<Cliven> Now now... well then.. what can you do for us Mina?
* [Rut]Janie tries to pull Nafrit to her feet.
<[BNS]Mina> I exercise everyday and I'm Captain of my school's Kendo Team! We were national semi-finalists last year!
* [BNS]Mina gives a thumbs-up!
* [par]Nafrit smiles slightly when helped up
<[Rut]Janie> What's a ken-doh? Golly, you sure are smart...
<[par]Nafrit>  Thank you.  Please if you could prevent that from happening again?  I Thought it might have been poisonous.
<Cliven> Oh right.. I missed that one day...
<[BNS]Mina> Anyway, I don't know much about adventuring, but that's why I'm here! To learn, right?
<Cliven> Can you cook Mina?
<[Rut]Janie> No siree! Ricky is clean as a whistle! Even though he kinda smells... especially when I give him a bath...
<[par]Nafrit>  He smells after a bath?  That doesn't make sense.
<[BNS]Mina> I /always/ cook, Dad! You know that!
<[Rut]Janie> -Especially- during and after a bath! Weird, huh?
<Cliven> Sorry dear, standard routine and stuffs you know... I even went through with this with you earlier.
<[Rut]Janie> Um... 'scuse me! 'Scuse me, mister!
<[Rut]Janie> You didn't go through this with me!
<[BNS]Mina> You did... OH yeeeeah...
<[BNS]Mina> I wasn't paying attention.
* [BNS]Mina smiles
<Cliven> Ok, we're all good then.
<Cliven> ..ah.
<Cliven> I forgot about you.... Janie.. right?
<[Rut]Janie> That's me!
<Cliven> What do you have to offer this team Janie? Do you have any particular expertise?
* [Rut]Janie tries to look serious. She's entirely too short and perky to pull it off.
<[Rut]Janie> ...
* Cliven shifts around in his chair, damn this thing sucks...
<[Rut]Janie> I'll do whatever I can to help you, Doctor!
* Cliven thinks about it..
<Cliven> Hmmm....
<Cliven> Very well, we could use the moral support during our low times.
<[Rut]Janie> Expertise... Oh, yes!
<[Rut]Janie>  I can polish a mean shoe!
<[Rut]Janie> I can blow a really big bubble with the right gum!
<Cliven> I see.. well that's good then. Please join us on board.
<[Rut]Janie> I can, um... I can fit my whole hand in my mouth!
* [Rut]Janie tries.
* Lynette adjusts her pack again. It seems to gradually be slipping...
<Cliven> It's quite alright janie, you're already on the team.
<[Rut]Janie> I can-- oh, really! Woopie!!
<Cliven> Yes yes..
* Cliven is warmed by this enthuasism
* [Rut]Janie jumps for joy! Ricky is startled, and flies out of her shirt, landing on Mina's head.
<[par]Nafrit>  Wow this will be an... interesting expedition
<Cliven> Oh...are any of you acrophobic?
<[par]Nafrit>  Which one is acro?
* Lynette thinks back for a moment, looking up and holding her chin.
<[Rut]Janie> Um... sorry, doctor. I don't have any superpowers or anything...
* Cliven laughs.
<Cliven> You've got it wrong--ahaha...- it means you are afraid of heights.
<[par]Nafrit>  Oh.  Vertigo.  I actually don't know.  I rarely leave my study.
* Lynette eventually seems to come to a conclusion and shakes her head, although indecisively.
<[Rut]Janie> Ooooh... gee, that makes a lot more sense now! Nope, I'm not afraid of heights!
<Cliven> Very well, I thank all of you fine ladies for joining me today. I hope you are all packed and ready to leave at a moments notice?
<[par]Nafrit>  I have not unpacked yet so yes
<Lynette> As you instructed.
* [Rut]Janie nods vigorously.
<[BNS]Mina> I've been packed for 2 weeks!
<Cliven> We're leaving now then. You will be fed as we ride to our plane and being debriefed.
* [par]Nafrit smiles
<[par]Nafrit>  this is very exciting
<Lynette> I'll get my things. Want me to get yours or Mina's?
* Cliven picks up his suitcase and his rifle, he clicks his hand and out comes Maryn as well.
<Cliven> The thought is appreciated but everyone will be needing to be as light as they can soon.
<[par]Nafrit>  Oh um...
* [par]Nafrit tries to decide what to take, as she had an archive shiped with her
* [Rut]Janie runs downstairs and returns with a stick. A modest-sized, polka-dotted cloth is tied to the end like a sack.
<[Rut]Janie> Gosh, I'm really exited!
<[Rut]Janie> [=-= excited*, even.]
* [BNS]Mina scrambles to her room and grabs her backpack!
<Cliven> One more question girls...
<Cliven> Have you all had your vaccinations?
* [par]Nafrit nods
<[Rut]Janie> Um... yeah?
<Lynette> As you instructed.
* Lynette smiles.
<Cliven> Glad you girls are prepared.. now.. where did Mina run off to....
* [BNS]Mina runs back in with her backpack. It's pink with lanyards and beads.
* [Rut]Janie hasn't had her vaccinations, but has probably already had everything she could possibly be vaccinated for.
<Cliven> Ah, there you are Mina. Did you get your shots?
<[BNS]Mina> Daaaad! Stop asking me questions you know the answer to!
<[BNS]Mina> Of course I got the shots! You had to DRAG me to the Doctor, remember?!
* [BNS]Mina shows off the bandage on the arm
<[BNS]Mina> It HURT!
<Cliven> Heh. I remember that you were screaming like you were going to collapse from the pain.
<[Rut]Janie> Ouch! I don't like shots...
<Cliven> Alrighty girls, I expect us to be on the plane before nightfall so lets get going.
* Cliven heads out first with Maryn behind the master and then the girls behind him as they head out into the car and onward to his private airport.
<Cliven> [Session 0 End~]
