TheHeavenlyLily	Now that Ng Tharini was out of that burial site and floating once again above the sea bed getting to the surface should be easy enough though now there where dozens of those creatures where swimming in the ocean that they need to get through to reach the Covenant.
	Ethnea	marvels at Ng Tharini raised to the surface
	J|rdoa	"Victory!"
	J|rdoa	then plops to the ground. "And I'm tired."

	J|rdoa	"Right."
	J|rdoa	"We'll need to find one first though."
	Ethnea	"my dear J'rdoa, did you not find information on those kindas of things?"
	J|rdoa	"Maybe."
	J|rdoa	"Of course, I didn't bring it with me even if I did, so we need to get back to the ship. Be that as it would be, it's kinda dangerous to go swimming right now."
	Aratol	"We'll need to swim fast or face those angry looking monkeys. I only have it in me to bind one more."
	Ethnea	suggests a prayer to Tides to come to us
	J|rdoa	"...I'm not praying to the Captain."
	Ethnea	"where did we leave off with Tide?" "perhaps we should walk back to the place we entered to find her"

	TheHeavenlyLily	Along the walls iris opened up allowing the cold sea water to fill the chamber. The interior of the central structure came alive as plants rapidly grew to take in much needed nutrients and food. Some large enough to allow the fish to enter so that the Behemoth could eat.
	Aratol	"Thank you Sister. This should speed our ability to restore you."

	Aratol	0x01ACTION submerged himself as completely as possible and felt the water pass gently over his gills. He focused a prayer directed at his captain and mate. "Captain, our Sister Tharini lives, but is weak. She needs only a hearthstone to permit her to surface. We believe we should be able to retrieve one from an imperial ship using the books J'rdoa retrieved earlier. We seek your aid of a predator of your calibre so that we might return
	TheHeavenlyLily	Another of shark entered the interior where they where at. It swam around for a few moments before becoming Tides "Why do you call to me like children?"
	J|rdoa	"We need to get back to the ship."
	Ethnea	"we would like safe passage to the boat, however we are quite tired from our adventure here"
	J|rdoa	"Tharini needs a hearthstone."
	Khoros	"We are drained from donating our power to sustain Tharini. I could probably make it despite that, but I can't garauntee they would."
	TheHeavenlyLily	"And what do you ask of me?"
	J|rdoa	"Take us back to the ship."
	Ethnea	"your affinity with predators may hold back these beasts which are keeping us here. If we were to go the way we came, with your assistance, we may move on in hope of healing Tharini wuicker"
	Aratol	"And worst case scenario, I'm sure they are no match for all of us."
	=-=	YOU are now known as J-rdoa|Accel
	TheHeavenlyLily	She would laugh softly and looked at them "I will hunt those creatures for myself and you may reach the ship. I am not steed"
	Aratol	"Who needs a ride?"
	Ethnea	prepares to leave.
	J-rdoa|Accel	yawns, then stands up, stretching slowly. "Not me."
	Ethnea	"i believe hanabi does"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"I shall carry the girl."
	Aratol	"And I shall carry Enthea. Khoros, can you carry Mask?"
	Khoros	"Very well, if I must." Khoros says with a nod.

	Aratol	Not wanting to be outdone by J'rdoa, Aratol offers his back to Khoros. "Why don't I carry the both of you?"
	Aratol	"Don't get any ideas Khoros"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"How about no one just get no ideas at all."
	Ethnea	"that won't be so hard for you, now will it" she jabs at jrdoa
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Only a little harder then you."
	Khoros	narrows his eyes and just looks at Aratol for a moment. "...I am going to pretend you didn't say anything just now. I do this because I am feeling generous."
	Aratol	"I said the same to Ethnea earlier, don't take offense."
	TheHeavenlyLily	The doors opened to the oceans and the water filled the chamber.
	Aratol	Cutting his losses, Aratol merely looked at J'rdoa, gave a challenging grin, and said "See you on the ship!" before swimming off at top speed.
	Ethnea	quickly follows behind
	J-rdoa|Accel	follows. "NOT FAIR!"
	Khoros	follows behind as quickly as he can - very quickly indeed, with the Mother's power coursing through him.
	Aratol	"Fine, I'll carry her."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"I can do it."
	Aratol	"Then I'll see you on the ship when you finally get there."
	TheHeavenlyLily	As they swam they where able to see Tides giving those monkeys a run for their money. Delighting in consuming and hunting them. The seas ran red with their blood.
	Ethnea	tries to ignore the blood and starts forcing her way out through the murkey water
	Khoros	pays little attention. They had a task to attend to, and some dragon-blooded to hunt - these things weren't powerful enough to be anything more than a passing amusement, and he was already focussed on the prey to come.
	Aratol	pulled out his daiklaves hoping that Tides would fail to contain one of the beasts so he could slaughter it without conflicting with their mission.
	-->|	TheLeadMask (Mibbit@MagicStar-2A52BF5B.dc.dc.cox.net) has joined #infernalpirates
	TheHeavenlyLily	They reached the boat easily enough with Tides simply devouring all those monkeys.
	J-rdoa|Accel	sends his passenger on her way, then goes to retrieve the books he scrounged. "Someone get me a map." he barked over his shoulder
	TheLeadMask	"Do that! i'll catalouge the bounty! anyone feel free to join me!"
	Ethnea	watches J'rdoa at work. "at least he is useful to the missions" she thinks quietly to herself
	J-rdoa|Accel	has the crew move a table outside to the sun, laying a map on it, and using several knifes to hold the map flat. Throwing one of the books down, he pulls out a compass and a pencil, bending down over the map. "Look at this." He says, tracing out several routes, the passages of the Dragonblooded ships. "Here. Here. and Here." He taps, checking his compass. "This one is the closest, but the...
	J-rdoa|Accel	...book says it's not actually carrying anything but food. Nothing good." He informs the group. "We want this one." He points to the second one. "It has Money on it. Dragonblooded love their money, so they'll definitely have the necessary objects. The ship is currently right....here." He tapped. "And it will continue along this route. That means the prime place for an ambush is this area here."
	Aratol	"And money wouldn't be bad to haul in!"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"As long as it's Gold."
	Aratol	"I'll happily take your share off your hands if its anything else."
	Ethnea	"heh" she lets out a short chuckle "i can't wait" she says with a strong eagerness in her voice
	TheLeadMask	Any note on the number of mortals?
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Since when do Dragonblooded write the number of Mortals on their Ships?" he questions. "Let me check."
	Khoros	"All I care about is if there's any Dragon-touched worth claiming for my own."
	TheLeadMask	"you can have them all, for all I care, so long as i can claim a single one and any mortals we find.'
	TheHeavenlyLily	He was able to find the closest potential vessels based off the book no more than a days sail further north from their current location. It was a water fleet patrol. Consisting of three triremes and a Swift Midday Brilliance command ship. Used to patrol against Lintha and Skullstone.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Turn the sails."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"We're heading out."
	Ethnea	collects some fish for the bird she brought back, and heads to sleep
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Prepare for battle! In a day's sail, we'll be upon the Dragonblood! Rest well, and we'll feast upon their own bones!"
	TheHeavenlyLily	In that days say they stopped not to far from where the small fleet should be patrolling. She emerged from the water "Approaching by sail. I will distract the vessels so that you can board their command ship and take what is needed"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Very well."
	TheLeadMask	"Undrestood"
	Aratol	"Aye aye captain."
	Ethnea	"alright"
	Aratol	"Shall Khoros and I flank the command ship?"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"That would be best. If the ship doesn't seem special, crack their rudder."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"If it's nice looking, just wait for us. We'll add it to our collection."
	TheHeavenlyLily	She would turn and then jumped back into the water. It darkening as she assumed her largest possible form. Time to go nom on some ships.
	TheLeadMask	Please dont eat the ship this time, TheLeadMask Thinks to him/herself
	Aratol	dives into the water as well and swims quietly toward the command ship.
	TheHeavenlyLily	She would swim her fastest possible towards one of the wooden triremes and hit it with all her strength. It lifted the vessel out of the water throwing the crew to the ground and breaking several boards. When it landed it sat much lower in the water as the crew recovered from the blow. Striking the second trireme with her massive tail to break the mast before diving away to avoid
	TheHeavenlyLily	the follow up counter attack.
	Khoros	follows Aratol quickly into the water, swimming under the command ship and to the other side of the ship, waiting for his comrades to distract the crew so he and Aratol could strike most effectively.
	TheLeadMask	TheLeadMask follows behind, snickering to herself about the torment her enemies will soon face
	TheHeavenlyLily	The command ship was an artifact vessel a Swift Midday Brilliance patrol ship still mounted with an essence powered weapon. Its hull and rudder could not be cracked so easily.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"WE'RE KEEPING THAT SHIP>"
	TheLeadMask	"MIIIIIIIIIINE!.... I mean... yes of course...."
	TheHeavenlyLily	Thankfully for them Tides disabled the third trireme and dived deeper waiting for any to jump into the water. Oh this was going to be glorious.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"You have a ship."
	Aratol	says nothing as he's swimming silently.
	TheLeadMask	"sorry, amnners. i have charms from my Yozi patron that are quite effective but have.... side effects, well say. will be great use in battle, however"
	TheLeadMask	manners*
	Ethnea	gets into the water and swims, using Mother Sea Mastery to make her wake glow a brilliant green, and tries to gather enough momentum that her speed will catapult her onto the ship
	TheHeavenlyLily	And she hits the side of the ship with a thud.
	Khoros	says but one thing. "You make sure they can't use that cannon." He says with a savage grin.
	J-rdoa|Accel	arches his eyebrow at Ethnea.
	J-rdoa|Accel	stiffles a laugh
	Aratol	gives an odd look.
	TheLeadMask	TheLeadmask laughs menacingly
	TheLeadMask	then clamps his mouth shut
	Ethnea	recovers her failure and attempts to climb aboard the other side of the ship
	TheHeavenlyLily	After hitting the side of the hull she was able to get out of the water relatively easily.
	TheHeavenlyLily	The command crew of the artifact ship where three Dragon-Blooded officers and a small part human crew. They felt the hum of essence as the canon was charged. Swiveling it quickly on its mount towards the approaching covenant. The troops on the other vessel preparing for combat despite the damage done to their ships. There was a total of 6 Dragon-Blooded officers in the small fleet.
	Aratol	quickly climbed up the side of the ship opposite the covenent sliding his daiklaves gently between the slats of the ship.
	Aratol	Taking care to do so as subtly and quietly as possible.
	Ethnea	"I am LINTHA" she shouts to the crews, "we are here to take your ships, abandon them now and you shal be free to go" she says, knowing completely well that Tides will most likely gobble them up if they ever get into the water
	TheHeavenlyLily	And with such a focal pronouncement the cannon fired directly at the covenant.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"....Shit."
	Khoros	begins climbing up the side the side of the command ship as he feels the cannons powering up, signalling their attention focussing elsewhere.
	TheLeadMask	TheLeadMask copies Ethnea, diving deep underwater, then rising uo to break the surface and emerge on top of the deck
	Ethnea	noting that no one has abandoned ships she unleases the full fury of her Mind Hand Manipulation, ripping at the nearest mortal
	TheHeavenlyLily	The shot tore a part, parts of the decking and shredded the sails as the crew prepared for another shot.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"FIRE BACK YOU IDIOTS!"
	J-rdoa|Accel	roared at the other members of the Covenent. "WE HAVE WEAPONS FOR A REASON>"
	TheHeavenlyLily	They began the combat then as the 4 ships though 3 where beyond sailing at the moment they still had weapons as well.
	Aratol	Aratol leapt onto the ship and rushed the dragon-blood manning the essence cannon. His blades slicing into his opponent's flesh while he laughed with glee.
	J-rdoa|Accel	ducks as the blast shoots over his head. "...I want that SHIP. IT WILL BE MINE." He roared, pulling out his Sky Cutter. He ran to the bow of the ship, then threw it as hard as possible, sending the weapon swirling through the air at one of the men on the ship. "EAT IT!"
	Khoros	roars as he jumps at one of the Officers wrapping his arms around the man and squeezing with unbelievable strength. "Be proud, Dynast! I have chosen you as my first conquest! Show me your strength! Prove you are worthy of being my slave!" He bellows as the grip tightens, licking the man's neck.
	TheHeavenlyLily	The Dragon-Blooded officer manning the cannon died to their weapons.
	TheHeavenlyLily	The crew of the first ship loaded their weapons and fired a volley into the crew of the Covenant.
	TheHeavenlyLily	From the volley of arrows several of the Lintha fell from the ship and into the water or simply onto the deck.
	TheHeavenlyLily	Moving quickly into action the Water Aspect would rush at Khoros with his weapon of black jade ready.
	TheHeavenlyLily	It came out of no where the black ship would ram into the second trireme. They came out in black armor wielding tormenting spiked weapons and chains. And they did it all without making a sound beyond the dint of combat.
	TheLeadMask	TheLeadMask, still midair over the battle, sees his first enemy, his first hungry kill. He looks at the dragonblooded bastard child of the Traitous Titan and screams at the top of his lungs "NO ITS MIIINE! ITS ALL MIIIIINE!", with black flames glinting within his eyes and a jagged sword of his Lintha heritage shining in the sun above him.
	TheHeavenlyLily	The other officer would charge at Aratol who helped kill his compatriot.
	Ethnea	"hihihihihhi" she starts to laugh almost maniacally as a slow distortion of space travels from her to her target. shadow and light strobing along the deck of the ship. the orb crawls up the dynast last hit by Mask (DB 2) until it reaches his neck. "I gave you a chance to leave!" she says as she starts laughing again.
	Ethnea	as motes from his blood spurt out into ethnea's mouth. blades form around her left had, appearing as a jet black bracelet- a clear sign of Combo-flare
	TheHeavenlyLily	The crew would once again fire on the Covenant to wittle down the Lintha crew.
	TheHeavenlyLily	And the Lintha managed to whether that folley better than the others.
	Aratol	rushed at the water-aspected dragon with his blades crossed pushing with everything he had and aimed to knock the dynast down a notch. If this went as he planned, his foe would either be sliced in half or meet the capain shortly. He couldn't help but chuckle as he simultaneously pictured his blades slicing his target in half and the victim's face seeing maw of Blood-Dimmed-Tides.
	J-rdoa|Accel	watches his sky cutter fly upwards around the ships, slicing through the winds with a whirling motion. He smiled and ran straight up the mast of the ship, leaping off it. In mid air, he spun, then kicked, hitting his own weapon as it returned to him, sending it once more spiraling out at another dragon blood. "You can't escape me that easy!"
	TheHeavenlyLily	And the second dragon blooded officer falls to the ground.
	Aratol	swung his blades toward those of his enemies attacking each swing in a manner more offensive than defensive.

	TheHeavenlyLily	The battle was hard and bitter but eventually the say was won with two of the three triremes sinking to the sea floor. The other trireme damaged but servicable and the survivors from the other ships put onto it. But it wasn't a tender, which meant a large fleet was near by that kept them well supplied. The artifact vessel was powered by its own hearthstone as was the essence cannon
	TheHeavenlyLily	on the front. The Black Ship sailed closer to them. Stepping out onto deck was perhaps the most beautiful woman they had ever seen. Her skin was a pale white with long silver hair streaked red. Dressed in the finery fitting of a royal funeral. Though it was still revealing in many places. She carried upon her back a black blade with a mirror surface "Greetings Children of the Exiles"
	TheHeavenlyLily	Her voice was musical and beautiful.
	Ethnea	turns on Essence Dissecting Stare and assesses this peaceful person
	Ethnea	"hello, fair one. what brings you here?" she says in a calm tone
	J-rdoa|Accel	leans on the bow of the ship. "Hello there!"
	Ethnea	"hey guys" she says quietly not moving her mouth "she's an Abyssal, exalts of the Underworld"
	TheHeavenlyLily	She would look to those visible "I come for something that was taken if a bit unknowingly. It rests in the hold of your ship. I have come to take it to where it needs to be"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"...You mean that thing Hanabi took?"
	Ethnea	"to malfeas with you. " why did you just admit she was right?"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"...what's the point of lying?"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"She already knows it's here. Might as well be honest. Lying only hurts us."
	TheHeavenlyLily	"Though where are my manners I am Serenity of Peaceful Rest" Looking to each of them. She remained calm and focused "We are not fighting. No need for you to fight amongst yourselves"
	Ethnea	"you are an idiot. it means we can see what she wants before we make any deals"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Yes yes." he muttered, waving her away. "The person who has your golem is taking a nap now, though, so you'll need to wait for her to wake up before you can talk to her about it."
	Ethnea	making herself heard to Serenity of Peaceful Rest "We are Lintha how do you do?"
	TheHeavenlyLily	She kept her hands folded infront of her. The thick velvet gloves covered her hands completely and her fingers adorned with many rings. Turning to Ethnea "I am aware of where you are from. Just not who you are" She was almost ethereal in her beauty.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"To non-Lintha, we are Lintha." J'rdoa reminds.
	Aratol	"Weird, I thought she just told her we were Lintha."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"I don't think she knows our customs."
	Ethnea	in a calm peaceful tone "as i said, I am Lintha and you may address me as such" she takes a pause "and i thank you in making our battle shorter"
	TheHeavenlyLily	She would smile once again "To those we are employeed and serve are still allies correct? Would it not then be safe to assume I would bring my ship to aide you. I am sure your power would have been more than sufficent but assistance never hurts" Bowing politely to her "As you wish Lintha"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"I am unsure when our dearest Doctor will awaken, but if you wish, we can bring you some food if you hunger."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"We can't let you on the ship yet, however. Trade Secrets."
	Ethnea	"if you seek something in our haul, we may be willing to gift it to you. But there may also be a /finder's/ fee. if you know what i mean" she says in a sly tone
	Aratol	"Why not use this ship as a meeting ground?
	Aratol	"
	J-rdoa|Accel	blinks at Aratol. "I'd rather not reveal the secrets of this weapon so soon." He whispers to the man. "We shall talk on hers, if she accepts it."
	TheHeavenlyLily	"If you would like you are welcome to come aboard. I shall have a meal prepared for you. Forgive us though, it is not every day we cook for the living"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"I can eat anything." J'rdoa says proudly. "I shall be right over."
	Ethnea	goes over to the Abyssal's ship.
	Ethnea	walking across the water to get there
	J-rdoa|Accel	skips the water and up the side of the boat
	Aratol	simply steps accross the plank provided.
	TheLeadMask	theLeadMask transformes into an abyssal to fit the setting, and walks calmy aboard
	Aratol	swims to the host ship and climbs aboard.
	TheHeavenlyLily	The vessel was baroque in the extreme. The deck was made out of the black wood like the other ship though there where carving cut into the wood. Moving to a set of large doors that opened when she approached it came into an ornate chamber. Black stone floors inlaid with orichalcum and soulsteel. In the center was a great sarcophagus, its lead a stylized image of a great warrior king.
	TheHeavenlyLily	The walls covered in moasics of countless battles. Moving past this chamber she went down one level that opened up into the length of the ship. There was a long hall with several doors on each side. But they remained in the large chamber near the stern of the ship. Here a black table was laid out with a thick purple satin table cloth. Candles spaced out on it. One noticable trait was
	TheHeavenlyLily	how cold the ship felt, and its silence.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"This ship is lovely. Nice and quiet, like the early morning." J'rdoa notes
	Ethnea	"Serenity of Peaceful Rest, i must thank you for the hospitality, it is most welcomed." she takes a seat.
	TheHeavenlyLily	"Or when night comes. In the silence of reverent prayer and devotion. There is a small portion of living crew that help to maintain this vessel" She motioned to the chairs around the table "Please sit. They will be bringing out refreshments momentarily"
	TheLeadMask	TheMask quietly admires the merchandise, evaluating what he may or may not eb able to steal
	Aratol	sat unfomfortably. "Feels like a tomb..." he muttered under his breath.
	J-rdoa|Accel	sits next to the head of the table on the left side, placing his elbow on table. "...Quite." He says. "Lovely quiet."
	Ethnea	"now, perhase you could tell us more of the," she takes a pause, "item, that you believe we have." Ethnea looks around making sure she knows how to get out "and perhaps you could tell us what it is worth to you?"
	Aratol	Aratol made sure his seat was as close to an exit as possible.
	TheHeavenlyLily	Moving to an ornate statue she drew the blade and placed it reverently in its grasp. The statues hands closing around the hilt and it held the weapon blade down. Moving back over to the table as she did so servants brought out trays of meats, much of it was still raw, sacrificed properly which would nurish the Abyssal properly. Pouring wine into their cups and handing them out. Each
	TheHeavenlyLily	was forged from orichalcum and set with soulsteel. Embelished faces upon the cups "Much of what I know has come from the Labyrinth and the terrible libraries that are there. How much I wish to share..." She would pick up her cup and took a sip staining her already red lips a deeper crimson from the blood she was drinking "Its price can never be calculated. But its risk is far to great
	TheHeavenlyLily	to remain in Creation"
	Ethnea	"well perhaps we can tell you what we know of Daestra" she says in a sly tone, looking to gauge her responce
	TheHeavenlyLily	"Be wary for its voice holds much of its power. If it has given you its name it intends to kill you. A question for you. Have you feed it essence?"
	Ethnea	takes a napkin to wipe away the blood from the Dragon Blooded officer she started to eat earlier
	Aratol	cut his food into small bits and moved them around his plate in order to decrease the general volume. He lifted his cup a few times without properly touching it to his lips. No matter how genuine their host's intentions might be, Aratol refused to give her an edge if things took a turn for the worst.
	J-rdoa|Accel	chuckles.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Oh dear..."
	Ethnea	"we have fed it enough to awaken it, it now rests." she says in a very wary tone, leading the abyssal to believe she is witholding some information
	J-rdoa|Accel	"...hahaha."
	J-rdoa|Accel	covers his mouth.
	TheHeavenlyLily	"You do not understand. That is not enough. Its core now burns and it will not go so easily back to sleep. Every moment you keep it in Creation the stronger it gets. When was the last time you checked on it? It is methodical, cold and alien. An utter detachment. It may appear to be docile and still but it smolders with a hate that surpasses the Neverborn. Its not a matter if it
	TheHeavenlyLily	strikes out, but when"
	J-rdoa|Accel	attempts to avoid falling out of his chair laughing
	Ethnea	"oh yes. i do believe you are right"
	TheHeavenlyLily	"Those who gave it the most essence are in the greatest danger. It will seek to end them first so no command can be made to attempt to stop it. It took 3 legions to stop it the last time. Drained of all its essence it ceased to function. That ship was constructed just to carry it. To keep it immobile. To keep it dormant."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"...Sounds horrible."
	Aratol	"Can it swim?" Aratol asked bluntly.
	Ethnea	looks uncaring .
	TheLeadMask	TheLeadMask keeps eyeing the expensive china
	J-rdoa|Accel	"When our doctor is done with her nap, you can certainly tell her of these problems. I will tell you now that we won't give you the creature until our doctor decides." He notes. "And dear Lintha." He looked at Ethnea. "...How does your stomach feel?" he mocks.
	Ethnea	"such an awful tool. it would be a shame if it were to be released in an unfavorable location"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Of course, it is not that we do not believe you, but rather that I would feel wrong making a decisions for her."
	TheHeavenlyLily	"And I mean 3 legions where sacrificed to bring it to a halt. There is no fighting the Nightmare Engine. It has existed in the Labyrinth since its conception. It was there when the tomb-worlds of the Neverborn formed. Its haunting eye watching and hating even them "I merely hope to educate you on its dangers so that you can make an informed decision"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"We appreciate and understand your concerns."
	Aratol	"But can it swim?"
	Ethnea	disregards J'rdoa
	TheHeavenlyLily	"It cannot. But it will move across the sea floor. Only the dead essence of the Labyrinth is the greatest way to make it sleep once again"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"However, you would not give your friend's sword away without telling them, would you? You see this is the position we are in here, unfortunately. As fascinating is your story is and as fascinating as you are, we must wait for now."
	Ethnea	"and we are to believe you would bring it directly to the labyrinth upon recieving it?" Ethnea activates Factual Determination Analysis while asking the question
	Aratol	"But its just a machine right? Why not just melt it down if its such a threat and not merely a weapon?"
	TheHeavenlyLily	"I am not pressing you for the decision. For now enjoy what I offer you a spot at my table and to talk" She looked once more to Ethnea "And I would. That is the only way to be sure" Her attention turns to Aratol "It is not just a machine. It existed in some form before the creation of the dead realm. When that world was brought into being so to was it given form"
	J-rdoa|Accel	"Well then, my lady. If it is possible."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"If we were to give you back this machine, I would prefer if we could go with you to make sure it is melted down."
	TheHeavenlyLily	"It cannot just be destroyed. Many have attempted it. It can only sleep. If it has a weakness it has not yet been found and exploited"
	Ethnea	"i'll tell you what. I do not fear this machine, but i trust your word. If you need your ship to take it away, then promise me this: You will take it, and with all your ability, dedicate to sealing it away properly, we will give it to you"
	Ethnea	she extends her hand
	J-rdoa|Accel	"We shall not give it away right now."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"You overstep your bounds."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"It is not only your spoils, we shall wait until the other is awakened and her decision is added."
	Ethnea	looks into the abyssals eyes, ignoring J'rdoa, "do we have a deal?"
	J-rdoa|Accel	places his hand between Ethnea and the Abyssal
	J-rdoa|Accel	"My Lady Abyssal, I appreciate your patience. In fact, we can go get our doctor now, if you so wish."
	J-rdoa|Accel	"You may come with us."
	Ethnea	"you fithly wreth! what do you think you're doing touching me!" she shout at J'rdoa pushing him away with his MHM
	TheHeavenlyLily	She watched them all "There is no need to be so hostile to each other. Focus and be calm" Smiling to them once again "When you discuss this with your friend when they awaken then we shall state such terms then" She would take another sip of that liquid.
	J-rdoa|Accel	"We appreciate your patience."
	J-rdoa|Accel	calmly ignores Ethnea attempting to attack him
	J-rdoa|Accel	does pull his hand back, however.
	TheHeavenlyLily	Looking to J'rdoa "Would you like a tour?" A sweet smile given to him before looking at the others "That extends to all of you as well"
	Ethnea	glares at J'rdoa out of the corner of her eye. not noticeable, but to the extremely perspective the look of murder is in her eyes
	J-rdoa|Accel	smiles to the woman. "I would love it. Thank you very much."
	TheHeavenlyLily	She would stand and offered her glove covered hand to him "It would be my pleasure"
	TheLeadMask	"As would I...."
	J-rdoa|Accel	takes it. "The pleasure is mine, madam."
	Aratol	stood. "I apologize, but I believe I have unresolved duties on our vessel. Thank you for your generosity with this meal."
	Ethnea	"i must bid you farewell. i have matters to attend to, a particulare pet of mine needs to be fed, and probably trained"
	Aratol	bowed slightly and walked to to the deck of the ship, goblet in hand.
	Ethnea	"kleptomaniacs, every one of them" she thinks to herself
	TheLeadMask	TheLeadMask strives to stuff his jacket with wares before leaving
