PMS 20

[19:46] <Halifax> [Halifax, Ariel, and Ellisa left to go get the horses leaving Allison and Amile to get a cart or carriage, food, and whatever else they might have needed before heading north. The sky seems dark and the temperature is dropping.]
[19:49] <Amile> Brr... wish I'd have brought a jacket or cloak or something...
[19:49] * WomanInTheStreets shivers....
[19:49] <[Rut]Allison> Hmhm~ 'Tis but a slight chill. Nothing compared to the Arctic.
[19:51] <Amile> Never been. I should really get some more appropriate clothing.
[19:51] <Amile> ...where's that blasted merchant!
[19:52] * Amile stomps his feet, trying to get warm
[19:52] * WomanInTheStreets is at a stall selling heavy, winter cloaks. She buys one and thanks the blasted merchant.
[19:52] <Amile> Aha~
[19:52] <[Rut]Allison> Of course, the locals gave me a fur coat after I chased off the privateers harassing them. Deserters from the Royal Navy, act like everything's theirs! Served them right~
[19:52] * WomanInTheStreets is now known as WarmWomanInaCloack
[19:52] <WarmWomanInaCloack> Ah~ tha's bettah
[19:53] * Amile prances away from Allison and bounces in front of the merchant
[19:53] <Amile> Hello, Mr. Salesman!
[19:53] <[Rut]Allison> ...Secured a trade route with the other native-- wait, where are you going??
[19:54] <Mr. Salesman> What can I do for you Ma'am? Cloaks, coats, or something else?
[19:54] <Amile> Cloak please! Do you have anything in a nice green? I love green.
[19:54] * Amile leans forward in over the counter, smiling sweetly
[19:54] * [Rut]Allison catches up. She looks around the stall.
[19:56] <Mr.Salesman> Well you're in luck! We just imported some new cloaks today from overseas! Fine quality goods. Green too. But it may be a tad pricey...
[19:56] <Amile> Pricey?
[19:58] <Amile> Surely Mr Salesman, you wouldn't want to take advantage of a poor little girl right?
[19:59] <Mr.Salesman> Oh... I dunno maybe... three silvers? uh two.... maybe I can let you get away with one. ARGh.... Okay Okay you have me dead to rights. Four. No. Three galleons.
[19:59] * [Rut]Allison observes, standing back inconspicuously.
[19:59] * Mr.Salesman turns his head, blushing slightly...
[19:59] <Amile> But... but my mother only gave me two galleons...
[20:00] * Amile reaches into his pocket and pulls out two lonely little galleon pieces, still pouting and looking like he's about to cry
[20:01] * WarmWomanInaCloack Mr.Salesman grabs the two things and practically shoves the fine green cloak into Amile's arms.
[20:01] <Amile> Awww, thank you Mr Salesman!
[20:01] * Amile leaps up and glomps the Salesman
[20:02] * Amile puts on his new cloak and happily skips off
[20:03] * WarmWomanInaCloack is talking to a stranger. He seems a bit off. Not handsome at all.
[20:07] <[Rut]Allison> ...
[20:07] * [Rut]Allison begins to walk away nonchalantly. She takes stock of the pair out of the corner of her eye, listening in.
[20:07] * Amile is happily heading towards the trade goodsman, disregarding the Woman and the Man
[20:09] <WarmWomanInaCloack> Ah jus' don' t care whatevah it is ya offa. I ain't so easy as that.
[20:10] <TallMan> Oh give me a break, I think I could even try staying sober if it meant a trophy like you...
[20:12] <WarmWomanInaCloack> Ah'd rather you stayed a drunk an' left me be!
[20:13] * WarmWomanInaCloack turns on her foot and starts to March away, but the man grabs her arm and tugs her hard.
[20:13] * [Rut]Allison winces. Not quite the smartest move, cloaked stranger...
[20:13] * Amile suddenly notices the man roughhousing the lady.
[20:14] <WarmWomanInaCloack> [The street seems a lot emptier of people then it did a moment ago. It starts hailing lightly...]
[20:14] <Amile> Hey... wait a minute...
[20:14] <WarmWomanInaCloack> [Amile recognizes the man... He hit on her the day before... what was his name...?]
[20:14] <Ivan`> Oh what have we here?
[20:15] * Amile narrows his eyes, knowing that this isn't going to end well for someone...
[20:16] * Ivan` throws the busty young woman into the dirt road...
[20:16] * Amile growls and looks over at Allison
[20:17] * [Rut]Allison looks back and shrugs. She fishes in her pocket for something.
[20:18] * Amile quickly whispers to Allison before Ivan gets close enough to hear "I'll distract him, you take him out."
[20:19] <Ivan`> You wait there for a moment girl. It looks like a have business to take care of...
[20:19] * Ivan` walks towards the lovely ladies.
[20:20] <Ivan`> Now now,  there's enough of Ivan for you two too.
[20:20] * Ivan` saunters on up
[20:20] * Amile frowns as a foul stench seems to creep up and get stronger as the lout approaches
[20:20] * [Rut]Allison ignores him and calls to the fallen woman in a voice like nails on a board.
[20:20] <[Rut]Allison> Oi, oi, sista! There ya ah! Hurry up, Tommy says it’s tyme fa medicine, yeah? ‘Ey don’t want tha hyves spreadin’ anymore. That alchemist ain’t gonna wait foreva.
[20:22] * Ivan` BustyYoungWoman seems unconscious...
[20:22] * Ivan` looks at you like you're crazy...
[20:22] <[Rut]Allison> 'Ey says 'ey don't want the customah's ta git it. Bad fa business, yeah? Oh, c'mon, get up, you.
[20:24] * [Rut]Allison goes to pull her off the ground, but breaks into a hacking cough as she kneels.
[20:24] * Amile is initally surprised, but then quickly joins the act as she hustles past Ivan and goes to help the other girl up as well
[20:24] <Amile> Ohh, we're gonna get in so much trouble if we're late...
[20:24] * Ivan` grabs the two girls by their shoulders...
[20:26] <[Rut]Allison> Whut's wha?? Oh, 'ello, handsome. Ya want a good tyme? Ahahaha*cough*hack*haha...
[20:27] * Melange_Addiction is now known as Dune
[20:27] * Dune is now known as Dune|Ever17
[20:27] * [Rut]Allison snorts.
[20:27] <[Rut]Allison> Guarantee ya won't git nuthin'. Probably.
[20:28] * Ivan` is... about as turned off as he ever imagined he could be...
[20:28] * Ivan` shoves Allison away.
[20:29] <Ivan`> Just walk away now before you get yourself hurt.
[20:29] <Amile> Oi! *hack, cough, cough*
[20:29] * [Rut]Allison falls to the dirt. Damn lout.
[20:30] * Amile reaches out to Allison with concern
[20:30] <Amile> Are ya ok, sista? *wheese, hack, hack cough*
[20:30] * [Rut]Allison gets up slowly, taking her time and dusting herself off.
[20:31] * Ivan` pulls a bottle from his cloak and uncorks it... He takes a couple big swigs.
[20:32] * Ivan` picks up the busty broad and throws her over a shoulder and takes a few more swigs while walking away.
[20:32] * Amile waits until Ivan turns around, then looks at Allison with concern
[20:32] * [Rut]Allison shrugs.
[20:33] <Amile> We can't let him get away with this.
[20:33] <[Rut]Allison> 15Well, gave it our best. No use reasoning with fools, after all~ Let's go.
[20:34] * Amile frowns and looks back at Ivan before looking at Allison again
[20:34] <Amile> We can take him
[20:35] <[Rut]Allison> Sure, sure. I've taken twice as big. But what's the point? There's no purse for this.
[20:36] <Amile> Oh yes there is. Local bar's offering a huge pot to anyone who can take him down.
[20:36] <[Rut]Allison> ...Is that so...?
[20:36] * [Rut]Allison strokes her chin.
[20:37] <Amile> Yep. Come, let's go. I'll blind him, you get him to the ground.
[20:37] <[Rut]Allison> Fair enough.
[20:37] * Amile looks back down the street at Ivan.
[20:37] <Amile> Ready?
06[20:38] * [Rut]Allison nods.
[20:38] <Amile> Go.
[20:39] * Amile starts off sprinting down the road, taking off his cloak as he goes and wrapping the ends around his hands
[20:40] * Ivan` has already finished off his bottle of rum and started on another. His walk now has a distinctive sway to it.
[20:40] * [Rut]Allison starts running... then spins on her heels and darts into an alleyway.
[20:40] * Ivan` is now known as IvanTheDrunkenFist
[20:41] <[Rut]Allison> Good luck~
[20:45] * Amile runs up behind Ivan, leaps into the air and in one smooth motion, lands on his back, wraps the cloak around his head and hangs down off the ends of the cloak, low down on his back enough for Ivan to not be able to grab at his hair or any other easy grasping point
[20:45] <Amile> Allison! Now!
[20:45] * IvanTheDrunkenFist can't see!
[20:46] * [Rut]Allison isn't there.
[20:46] <IvanTheDrunkenFist> Arrggh
[20:46] * Amile suddenly realizes this
[20:46] * Amile goes to Plan B
[21:06] * IvanTheDrukenFist gropes poorly with his one free arm. Clumsily at best...
[21:08] * Amile evades Ivan's clumsy graspings and climbs back up to wrap the cloak tighter and then tie it off under his chin so he can't immediately pull it off
[21:13] * IvanTheDrukenFist feels someone reaching for his booze! Leans back far enough to hit the chick on his back against the ground and kicks the hand reaching for his pocket.
[21:14] <[Rut]Allison> Tsk!
[21:15] <Amile> Deserter! You'll walk for ruining this! Cover me!
[21:15] * [Rut]Allison reels back, clutching her hand.
[21:17] * Amile scrambles to his feet and leaps back up, attempting to loosen Ivan's grip on the girl in the cloak
[21:18] * IvanTheDrukenFist BustyWomen wakes up! She start kicking and scratching like mad!
[21:18] * [Rut]Allison goes for his ankles!
[21:18] <BustyWoman> Leggo me! You! Ya slime!
[21:20] * IvanTheDrukenFist is unable to keep this many girls at bay at once...
[21:20] <IvanTheDrukenFist> Arrgh! *hic*
[21:23] * [Rut]Allison gets a good grip and yanks his feet out from under him! She times it with the woman's flailing in order to send the drunk bucking forward (and, most likely, head first.)
[21:24] * Amile catches the girl on the way down as Ivan lands flat on the ground
[21:24] <IvanTheDrukenFist> ouff!
[21:25] * IvanTheDrukenFist gets to his knees pulling the now loose "blindfold" off...
[21:27] <IvanTheDrukenFist> Ahby... Grah...*more nonsensical drunken jibberish*
[21:27] * Amile sets down the girl and starts to run, scooping his cloak off the ground where Ivan threw it on the way out of there
[21:31] <[Rut]Allison> Argh, wait, what about my money?! Geez...
[21:31] * [Rut]Allison follows.
[21:41] * IvanTheDrukenFist is now wobbly at his feet... the girls all running in different dirrections...
[21:42] <IvanTheDrukenFist> *Says something in a drunken slur meant to sound something like "Which one should I go after..."*
[21:42] * Amile ducks into the alley Allison originally ran into
[21:43] * [Rut]Allison keeps running. Split up!
[21:44] * [Tess]Tony runs in from a nearby street, apparently attracted by the commotion. Taking a brief look around, he taps Ivan on the shoulder.
[21:44] * Amile does like Allison says and uses a combination of kicking off walls and footholds to clamber up to the rooftops
[21:46] * IvanTheDrukenFist turns... Whoizat?
[21:48] <[Tess]Tony> Evening. May I ask what's going on?
[21:48] * Amile peeks over the edge of the rooftops at the oaf
[21:48] * IvanTheDrukenFist shadow boxes at the blurry figure behind.
[21:48] <IvanTheDrukenFist> *Something unintelligible*
[21:49] <IvanTheDrukenFist> *hic* Sweecoo?
[21:52] * IvanTheDrukenFist throws his signature drunken fist!
[21:53] * [Tess]Tony rolls his eyes, getting into a guard stance with his left foot forward. He turns and steps to the side, blocking with his left arm, then taps his newfound opponent in the face thrice with his left before shifting his weight and giving him a sudden right hook, full force, to the base of his jaw.
[21:54] * [Rut]Allison skids to a halt, gawking at the mystery man who just made himself known.
[21:55] * Amile cheers on the random guy
[22:02] * IvanTheDrukenFist is down for the count...
[22:03] * Amile leaps down from the rooftops, landing on Ivan's stomach for a safe fall
[22:03] <IvanTheDrukenFist> [The sound of hooves echoes nearby.]
[22:04] * [Tess]Tony walks over and looks down on the fellow, cracking his knuckles and keeping his fist closed in case Ivan gets up again.
[22:04] * Amile looks up at Tony. o O (Wow, he's tall.)
[22:05] * [Rut]Allison claps her hands together, shaking loose some dust.
[22:05] <[Rut]Allison> Well... that's that, then.
[22:06] <Amile> Hehe... thanks for the help.
[22:06] * Amile grins at Tony
[22:07] <[Tess]Tony> Don't mention it.
[22:07] * [Tess]Tony relaxes, puttng his hands in his pockets.
[22:08] * Amile takes advantage of Ivan's unconsciousness to pick his pockets
[22:09] <[Rut]Allison> Indeed. We wore him down, but I suppose there's some honor to be had in getting the last blow, eh? The gesture is appreciated.
[22:09] * Halifax rides in on a horse. She looks like she's having fun.
[22:10] * [Tess]Tony shrugs, turning up to regard the new arrival.
[22:10] <Halifax> Aye! Antonio! Not causing the locals too much trouble are we?
[22:12] <[Rut]Allison> Oh, you know our white knight, here, Captain?
[22:12] <[k]Ariel> What's the ruckus?
[22:12] * [k]Ariel follow along behind.
[22:12] <Amile> We got attacked by this drunk bastard here.
[22:13] <[k]Ariel> My, what luck.
[22:13] <[k]Ariel> We also got attacked by.... "sexually frustrated group of imbecile", too.
[22:14] * Ellisa stops in front of the group.
[22:14] <[Tess]Tony> This particular one was a bit too agressive to talk it through, Captain, so I hope you don't think I went too far.
[22:14] <Ellisa> Whoa.. easy girl..
[22:14] <Ellisa> Ah.. what's goin' on now?
[22:14] <[k]Ariel> Hey mister. Never know you're not on the ship.
[22:15] <[k]Ariel> Your name is..... tommy, or something, right?
[22:16] * Ellisa looks down at this man from her horse...
[22:16] <Ellisa> Hey.... don't I know you?....
[22:16] <Halifax> Nah, that's alright.
[22:16] * mini_Kagami is now known as Ataisai
[22:17] <[Tess]Tony> It would be easier to make the distinction in my native tongue. You're actually quite close; most people call me Tony.
[22:18] <Halifax> [Amile found FINE BOOZE. It looks like a good year!]
[22:18] * Amile stashes the booze
[22:18] * [Tess]Tony looks up at Ellisa, answering her in turn.
[22:18] * Amile stands up and runs off
[22:18] <Ellisa> Ah! You're THAT guy! Hey-ey.. what brings you out from the ship today?
[22:18] <[k]Ariel> Ah, my apologize for mistaking your name.
[22:18] <Amile> I'll be right back! I have a surprise for you guys!
[22:19] * Amile runs off to fetch the bartender
[22:19] * Ataisai is now known as Fell
[22:19] <[Tess]Tony> I'll just call it stretching my legs. What brought you here?
[22:19] * [Rut]Allison follows Amile. Again.
[22:20] <Ellisa> What d'ya think?
[22:20] * Ellisa is riding on her "Orange" horse.
[22:21] * [k]Ariel is riding on her grey horse, "Seabiscuit".
[22:22] <Halifax> [Amile presents FINE BOOZE as proof. <Bartender> "He wouldn't part with that while he was still conscious."  Amile acquired JAR OF BETS. That's a lot a money!]
[22:22] * Amile runs back to the group with the loot
[22:23] * [Tess]Tony shrugs again, turning to Amile this time.
[22:23] * Amile shakes the jar, grinning and enjoying the sound
[22:24] <[Tess]Tony> What's that you're bringing here? Best be something interesting if it's part of what we get for all this trouble.
[22:25] <Amile> It's from the local tavern. They had a pot going for anyone able to knock out the drunk.
[22:25] * Amile shoves the jar up into Tony's arms
[22:26] <Amile> Me and Allison were going to claim it, but /that/ didn't work out.
[22:26] <Halifax> oOo~
[22:26] * Amile glares at Allison
[22:26] <Ellisa> Oh my god...
[22:26] <Ellisa> Nice job you two newcomers
[22:26] * [Tess]Tony receives the jar, surprised, but then takes a look in and smiles.
[22:26] <[Rut]Allison> Oh, it was nothing, really~
[22:27] <[Tess]Tony> My, my, what a pleasant surprise.
[22:28] <[Rut]Allison> I'd meant to do it in single combat, man-to-man (so to speak), but valor deserves to be rewarded, don't you agree~?
[22:29] * Amile rolls his eyes
[22:29] <[k]Ariel> By pirate's code, the loot must be shared among the crew.
[22:29] <[k]Ariel> Or so they say.
[22:30] <[Rut]Allison> Err... well, it's not my ship, anyway. What say you, Captain?
[22:31] <Amile> We still need to buy supplies, this doofus was quite the distraction
[22:34] <[Tess]Tony> Well, it is the Captain who has the final word.
[22:35] * [Tess]Tony closes the jar again, shaking it a couple times.
[22:35] <Halifax> I'll divvy it up later. But for now Tony can keep it out of unsafe hands...
[22:36] <Halifax> In any case you guys should come and pick out a horse. We don't have all day!
[22:36] <Ellisa> That's right. We'd be travellin' alot here so.. get comfy!
[22:36] * [k]Ariel is happy with her current one.
[22:37] <[Rut]Allison> "Unsafe hands"? Ahaha, oh Captain, you are such a card...
[22:38] <[k]Ariel> I have cards, though.
[22:38] * [k]Ariel show them steelback playing cards.
[22:38] <Ellisa> Yeah... and this... "Unlucky" knife.
[22:38] <Ellisa> They're Tarot Cards.. Ariel.
[22:41] <[k]Ariel> oh well.
[22:41] * [k]Ariel shrugs.
[22:41] <[Rut]Allison> Cards? Lovely. It's been a while since I was in Sicily, but I'm certain I still remember each card's correlated value. We could play.
[22:45] <[k]Ariel> this was used as a weapon against me, though.
[22:47] <[Rut]Allison> Oh? You must meet some interesting sorts, then.
[22:48] <[Tess]Tony> It's nothing too surprising, though. I've seen similar things.
[22:49] <Halifax> [The group continues there conversation as they walk towards the stable. When they arrive they are surprised to find another of there company is already there.]
[22:50] <Ellisa> Ah?...
[22:55] <[Tess]Tony> Hm.
[22:55] <[k]Ariel> hoh.
[22:57] * Amile is nervous as they approach the stables...
[22:58] <Amile> Umm... is this a good time to mention that I've never ridden a horse?
[22:59] <[Tess]Tony> I suppose it is at least better than waiting longer.
[23:01] <Ellisa> Good luck you girls and boys.
[23:01] * Ellisa chuckles.
[23:02] * [Rut]Allison looks around.
[23:02] <[Rut]Allison> Hmm... which one is mine?
[23:02] <Halifax> [The stable is situated beside the local library. From its window, Emily can be seen sitting and reading.]
[23:03] * Halifax enjoys brushing Agro
[23:06] * [Tess]Tony kicks the ground a few times, looking idly into space.
[23:08] * Amile slowly approaches one of the horses...
[23:09] * Amile is startled when it rears back and neighs loudly!
[23:09] <Amile> Wah!
[23:10] <[Tess]Tony> Easy there! You okay?
[23:10] <Amile> I don't think he likes me...
[23:11] <[Rut]Allison> Ahaha~ You can't be afraid of him, Amile!
[23:11] * `Emily is reading Hampton'f Catalogue of Alchemickal Reagentf, Volume II
[23:12] <Amile> But I've never done this before!
[23:12] <Amile> I have no idea what I'm doing!
[23:12] <[Tess]Tony> That doesn't mean you have to be nervous. Try and calm down first.
[23:14] * Amile takes a deep breath
[23:14] <[Rut]Allison> Let's see... Ah, it's a mare.
[23:14] <Amile> A /what/?
[23:15] <[Rut]Allison> A girl. Be steady and gentle. Go on!
[23:16] <[Rut]Allison> Oh, and hope she's not too independent. Those ones tend to get rather... bitey.
[23:16] <[Tess]Tony> Don't say so yet, that'll just scare her more.
[23:17] <[k]Ariel> I can do that with my first try. Strange.
[23:17] <[k]Ariel> It's not like riding a horse is a difficult task. Right?
[23:17] * [Rut]Allison only giggles more.
[23:17] * [k]Ariel pat her horsie.
[23:19] <[Rut]Allison> Oh, and don't look her in the eye. If you do, she might take to it poorly, follow you to bed tonight, bit your ears off. I've seen that happen one too many times...
[23:20] * Amile turns to Tony
[23:20] <[Tess]Tony> You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?
[23:20] <Amile> I don't want this horse anymore... can we switch horses?
[23:21] <[Rut]Allison> Of course not! What kind of person would I be if I were actually -enjoying- poor Amile's lack of aptitude?
[23:22] <[Tess]Tony> Eh? But mine isn't that different. You shouldn't get too worried, Amile.
[23:22] * Amile stomps on Allison's foot. Hard.
[23:24] <[k]Ariel> hey, don't get too rowdy, there.
[23:24] <[Rut]Allison> Aieee! Owowowow!
[23:24] <[Rut]Allison> S-she attacked me!
[23:24] * [Tess]Tony walks over to the horses, ignoring Allison completely.
[23:25] <[k]Ariel> A fine compensation for scaring a young lady.
[23:27] <[Rut]Allison> Hmph! It's not my fault! She just doesn't know how to handle a lady horse such as this. She lacks a woman's touch.
[23:28] * [k]Ariel thinks it's not about being a woman.
[23:33] <[Rut]Allison> Yes... you're a high-class lady, a cut above the rest, aren't you? Ah, what a nice coat! A little drab, but it reminds me of the fine Arabian steed I had once. Jessebell...
[23:33] <Ellisa> What ever happened to it?
[23:34] * [Rut]Allison sighs.
[23:34] <Halifax> I bet it bolted.
[23:35] * Ellisa bursts out in laughter.
[23:35] <Ellisa> Hahaha!
[23:35] <[Rut]Allison> H-how cruel! She certainly did not!
[23:35] * Amile tries to befriend another horse, but this one reacts only slightly less hostile!
[23:36] <Amile> This isn't gonna work!
[23:37] * Halifax spots an Emily nearby
[23:37] * Amile suddenly realizes something... and formulates a plan...
[23:37] * [Tess]Tony chuckles, approaching the horse nearest him. It doesn't seem to like him, but he continues to focus on it.
[23:37] <Ellisa> You just suck.. ain't no way around it.
[23:37] <[Rut]Allison> Poor girl. The desert was our oyster, it was. But an off-season storm hit us on a return trip from Egypt, following a lead on a lost crypt.
[23:37] <[Rut]Allison> The dunes were unstable. Broke her leg. I... couldn't take her.
[23:38] <[Rut]Allison> ... *sniff*...
[23:38] * Halifax goes into the building next door. Emily likes horses right?
[23:39] <Amile> Hey, we're going to need a mule to pull the supply wagon, right?
[23:39] <[Tess]Tony> Egypt, huh? I've been there once or twice.
[23:41] * Amile walks over to the mules and is surprised when one of them plods up and nuzzles him
[23:41] <Amile> Hehe... aww, I like this one!
[23:41] * [k]Ariel get down from Seabiscuit, and just take her somewhere nice and quiet for a snack grass.
[23:41] <[Rut]Allison> Mmm... well, enough of that. The past is the past. Can't let it tie us down, right?
[23:42] * [Rut]Allison wipes her eyes and saddles up.
[23:42] * `Emily is still reading.
[23:42] * `Emily Read read read read
[23:43] <Ellisa> nice try Allie. Your pitiful lies won't work on me.
[23:43] * Halifax has appeared behind Emily. She seems intent on the book....
[23:44] * Ellisa scoffs off and trods around.. bored.
[23:45] <[Rut]Allison> Che... 15Well, I couldn't have made it with both her -and- the haul...
[23:45] * `Emily turns a page. Riveting stuff!
[23:45] * Amile unhitches the mule and happily leads it over to the rest of the group... before realizing that he has no idea how to saddle this thing.
[23:46] <Amile> Umm....
[23:46] * Amile glances at the mule, then the saddle, then the mule again
[23:46] * Amile points at the saddle
[23:46] <Amile> How does this thing work?
[23:46] <[Tess]Tony> Oh, just a minute. I'll be there in a second; is it English?
[23:46] * Halifax leans over Emily's shoulder. What is she reading...
[23:48] * [k]Ariel tie her horse and enter the building. Better stay here with the aristocrat rather than be out there with those lout.
[23:48] <[k]Ariel> Greetings.
[23:48] * `Emily "4 partef Nitrate, 2 partef faltpeter, 1 part sulphur, effence of icorac..."
[23:49] * `Emily it appears to be a concoction for curing drowsiness.
[23:49] <[k]Ariel> ...
[23:49] * [Rut]Allison trots around a bit.
[23:49] <Halifax> ...
[23:50] * [k]Ariel seeing that she did not recieve any welcome, she just default that her presenceis known, and go get something else to read.
[23:50] * [k]Ariel get some picture book.
[23:50] * Halifax pecks Emily on the cheek. It's not like anyone's watching.
[23:50] <`Emily> Ah!
[23:51] <[Rut]Allison> Hmm... alright, who are we waiting on?
[23:51] * Halifax giggles softly.
[23:51] * [k]Ariel saw it.
[23:51] * `Emily yelps in surprise, and the book falls out of her hands.
[23:51] * [k]Ariel is now jealous.
[23:51] <[k]Ariel> ...
[23:51] * `Emily blinks, blushing furiously, then only slightly less furiously when she sees who it is.
[23:52] <`Emily> Aha... you gave me a fright, Priss. I'm afraid I was caught up in reading this...
[23:53] <Halifax> I noticed. Could see you from out there.
[23:53] * Halifax points out the window toward the stable.
[23:54] * [Tess]Tony proceeds to ready the horse he found; it doesn't do too much to get in the way but getting the bit in is a monumental pain.
[23:55] * `Emily looks back, and sees the rest of the crew on or attempting valiantly to be on horses.
[23:55] <`Emily> Oh...
[23:55] <`Emily> ...
[23:55] <`Emily> Um.
[23:55] * `Emily frowns a little.
[23:55] <Halifax> What is it?
[23:55] <`Emily> Where did all the horses come from?
[23:55] * [k]Ariel waaaalks.
[23:56] <Halifax> Well, when a mommy horse and a daddy horse love each other veeery much...
[23:56] * `Emily bursts out laughing.
[23:57] <`Emily> Not /that!/
[23:57] * [k]Ariel is hidden behind the bookshelf somewhere, overhearing conversation.
[23:57] * `Emily closes the book, and places it atop an already tall stack.
[23:57] <Halifax> Oh, well I bought the lot. One of them has your name on it too, if you want to get acquainted.
[23:58] <`Emily> Did you buy them all, or...? Oh you did?
[23:58] <`Emily> It does?
[23:58] * [k]Ariel o 0 (Getting all cozy over there, huh? Grr....)
[23:58] <`Emily> Oooh, which one?
[23:58] <Halifax> Nothing less for my dear princess~
[23:59] * Halifax bows swooping her hat low before straightening. Returning her hat to her head.
[23:59] * [k]Ariel bite her handkerchief.
[23:59] <Halifax> Well I figure you could pick yours.
[00:01] <Ellisa> Urghh...
[00:01] <Ellisa> What's taking so long..
[00:01] * [Tess]Tony leaves the horse tied, walking around. Bored...
[00:04] * Ellisa is now known as Jim
[00:04] * [Tess]Tony pokes his head into the building, taking a look around.
[00:04] * [k]Ariel instead pour her rage into her books. Reading some fairy tale in ALL CAPS MODE silently.
[00:06] * `Emily blushes, tapping her chin.
[00:06] <`Emily> Is that grey free?
[00:08] * [k]Ariel send "IT IS MINE" psychic message to Emily. HARD.
[00:09] * [Tess]Tony walks in, stretching and leaning over Ariel's shoulder to read.
[00:09] <[k]Ariel> Eh-?
[00:10] * [Tess]Tony turns to look at Ariel, keeping expressionless.
[00:11] <[k]Ariel> what are you doing, silly?!
[00:11] * [k]Ariel close her cleavage from top view. Women's basic safety protocol no.1.
[00:13] <[Tess]Tony> I was curious about what you read. Is that so wrong?
[00:13] <Halifax> That grey? Sure.
[00:13] <`Emily> Well, if there's no objection, it looks like a fine animal. Although I can't tell from here.
[00:14] * `Emily offers her hand to Priss.
[00:14] <`Emily> Shall we?
[00:14] * Halifax takes her hand.
[00:14] <Halifax> We shall.
[00:14] * Halifax can't stop smiling...
[00:14] * [k]Ariel close the picture book. It's kinda embarrassing for a girl at her age to be reading this.
[00:15] <[k]Ariel> J-just killing time, is all.
[00:15] * `Emily leaves the building along with Priss, stopping briefly, to mention the stack of books she'd finished. The librarian nods, and says she'll get them put away soon.
[00:16] <[Tess]Tony> I see then. Well, it seems the others are going; shall we?
[00:16] <[k]Ariel> At once.
[00:17] * [k]Ariel stands up.
