Maidan Odyssey - Minase Sidestory

[Minase Side-Story]

[00:32] <huh> [The merrow drags you through the sunken halls, all of the walls covered with the same alien language and illuminated my biofluorescent moss.]
[00:32] * [BNS]Minase kicks and struggles as she's carried away!
[00:32] <@[BNS]Minase> Stupid smelly fish! Lemme go!
[00:33] <@huh> Stop moving, worm! You knew the consequences of trespass!
[00:35] * [BNS]Minase struggles anyway
[00:36] <@huh> You feel that the fishman is, however, leading you toward the Litch's phylactery.
[00:36] <@huh> Er, -t
[00:36] <@huh> Lich.
[00:36] <@huh> "You will be taken before the Serpent King for judgement."
[00:37] <@[BNS]Minase> Fine!
[00:37] * [BNS]Minase hmphs and goes >:T
[00:40] <@huh> Plenty of merrow women are staring as you pass in the halls. It seems that this area is more heavily populated.
[00:40] <@huh> Eventually, you approach a large bronze door, inlaid with polished coral.
[00:40] <@[BNS]Minase> o O (They're jealous. Typical.)
[00:41] <@huh> "I am Mag'thar, Son of Mog'thar! I have a prisoner for judgement@
[00:45] <@huh> The doors are drawn open. Inside is a retinue of (all-female) guards standing around a throne that looks like it's made from solid pearl. On it is an imposing mass of scaly muscle, the Serpent King.
[00:46] <@huh> "You, human, are foolish for coming here!" he booms.
[00:46] <@[BNS]Minase> STOP CALLING ME HUMAN!!
[00:46] * [BNS]Minase squirms harder
[00:47] <@huh> Your captor throws you to the floor and pins you with his tail.
[00:47] <@[BNS]Minase> Ack!
[00:47] <@[BNS]Minase> Ruffian.
[00:48] * [BNS]Minase makes a face at the fish-guy
[00:48] <@huh> "Do not speak that way to me, if you value your life. You have obviously been spared for a reason, but I can fix that quickly."
[00:49] <@huh> "My liege, there are more. I am using her as bait." Mag'thar says.
[00:50] <@huh> "Hm? Is that so? Then, I assume that you are adventurers, here to plunder our treasures?"
[00:51] <@huh> He stares at you.
[00:51] <@[BNS]Minase> Wrong! I'm a PRINCESS here to BORROW your treasures without permission, nor the intention to return. There's a difference.
[00:52] <@huh> "Ha! The princess of what land?"
[00:55] <@[BNS]Minase> I'm a Kitsune! I'm a Princess of the Forest of Ceranild, of course!
[00:55] * [BNS]Minase says the last comment with no shortage of pride in her voice
[00:58] <@huh> "Never heard of them! We put no store in the heritage of landwalkers anyway."
[00:59] * [BNS]Minase bristles with the kind of indignation only a snubbed royal can muster
[00:59] <@huh> Oh, yes. Also, the phylactery is on the Serpentking's person.
[01:03] <@huh> Seems like an amulet.
[01:03] * [BNS]Minase is too busy fuming to think about the lich right now
[01:14] <@huh> "However, you will have the privelege of having a front-row seat to your friends' deaths."
[01:15] <@[BNS]Minase> Psh, they're not my friends. I don't even like them. Especially the stupid healer.
[01:15] * [BNS]Minase hmphs and crosses her arms
[01:18] <@huh> He laughs.
[01:18] <@huh> "Is that so? Good, then! Would you like to help us kill them?"
[01:20] <@[BNS]Minase> And violate my guild charter after the years of bureaucracy I had to go through to get it? Thanks but no thanks.
[01:21] <@[BNS]Minase> The fees alone would be more than it would cost to hire assassins...
[01:24] <@huh> "Heh. I don't think I've seen many landwalkers like you."
[01:25] <@huh> "I might eve-"
[01:27] <@huh> Your magically-honed sight sees the spirit of the lich materialize behind the Kind and lay its icy hands on his shoulders.
[01:27] <@huh> Er, King
[01:29] <@huh> The king clears his throat.
[01:30] <@huh> "Anyhow, the matter is simple. Just wait there like a good child and your death will be quick."
[13:44] * [BNS]Minase frowns when she sees the lich, but comes up with an idea.
[13:47] <@[BNS]Minase> Ahem. Well, that's unfortunate, but if you'll allow me a few words to refute your decis- SPIRIT BINDING!
[13:47] * [BNS]Minase points her staff, aiming at the Lich
[13:55] <huh> The Lich falters for a second, but only grins smugly.
[13:56] <huh> "Her staff! Take away her staff!"
[13:56] * [BNS]Minase acts fast, and gets off a single fireball that she purposefully aims high and to the right!
[14:06] <huh> The fireball rips through the air, causing the lich to flinch. The guards that were moving to take your staff pause, wary.
[14:07] * [BNS]Minase casts Spirit Binding again!!
[14:17] <huh> The lich just frowns at you, as much as a lich can, and dematerializes.
[14:17] * [BNS]Minase blinks a few times, still pinned under that other fish-guys tail as she lowers her staff...
[14:18] <@[BNS]Minase> ...your majesty?
[14:18] <huh> "Yes?"
[14:18] <@[BNS]Minase> Are you 'you' again?
[14:19] <huh> "I don't know who else I would be, landwalker."
[14:19] <huh> He somehow doesn't sound like he's grown any more benevolent.
[14:19] <@[BNS]Minase> Well, I'll tell you. You would be THE LICH THAT'S TRYING TO KILL YOU!
[14:20] <huh> "Lich? What Lich?"
[14:20] <huh> There are murmurs around the hall. If nothing else, you got their attention.
[14:20] <@[BNS]Minase> The one that was living here before your people arrived and now he wants his city back. He told us all about it, before we blew him up.
[14:21] <@[BNS]Minase> And now he's all ghosty and stuff because we haven't destroyed his phylactery yet.
[14:21] <@[BNS]Minase> And he was just possessing you! I can prove it, because you probably don't remember me making that big hole in the wall over there.
[14:21] * [BNS]Minase points to the fireball impact crater to his left
[14:22] <huh> He looks to the side, and stops.
[14:22] <huh> "You did this?"
[14:22] <huh> More murmurs.
[14:22] <@[BNS]Minase> Yeah. Sorry about that.
[14:23] * [BNS]Minase scratches her head sheepishly
[14:23] <huh> He leans forward.
[14:24] <huh> "I cannot be sure this is not some trick. You did come here to kill me."
[14:24] <@[BNS]Minase> No no no! That's not true! I just wanted to steal your stuff! I try to avoid violence whenever possible!
[14:25] <huh> THe king lets out a guttural growl of disbelief.
[14:26] <@[BNS]Minase> Besides, if I wanted to kill you, I totally could have while you were possessed. I mean, your guards here got real nervous after that whole fireball bit, I totally could have fired off a bunch more.
[14:28] <huh> "Hum. I will have the matter looked into. Take her to the holding cells! Then, call the virginal priestesses!"
[14:30] <huh> You find yourself being dragged again.
[14:32] * [BNS]Minase sighs
[14:33] <@[BNS]Minase> Stupid fish, no idea how to treat foreign dignitaries.
[14:33] * [BNS]Minase crosses her arms as she's dragged
[14:37] <huh> You're tossed into a cell the door locked.
[14:38] * [BNS]Minase stands up, and dusts herself off, lamenting over the shoddy state of her new robes.
[14:38] <@[BNS]Minase> Well, I know what my share is going towards after this quest.
[14:38] * [BNS]Minase sighs again
[14:42] <@[BNS]Minase> Well, at least I still have my staff.
[14:43] * [BNS]Minase taps the base on the ground a few times assuredly
[14:43] * [BNS]Minase decides to take a closer look around her cell
[14:53] <huh> There's something lying in the corner. At first you had dismissed it as some discarded leather, perhaps a noose, but on closer inspection it's clothing.Do they want you to wear this...?
[14:53] <@[BNS]Minase> ...?
[14:53] * [BNS]Minase picks up the clothing... and upon further inspection, recoils in disgust
[14:53] <@[BNS]Minase> Th-this is some kind of joke, right?!
[14:54] * [BNS]Minase runs up to the door of her cell
[14:54] <@[BNS]Minase> Hey! What kind of sick joke is this?! If you think I'm wearing this, you're CRAZY!
[14:54] * [BNS]Minase berates the guard outside her door with the kind of brow-beating only an enraged royal can muster.
[14:55] <huh> "You speak as though you have a choice in the matter."
[14:56] <@[BNS]Minase> This is ridiculous! This isn't even clothing! You couldn't FORCE me to wear this thing!
[14:56] <huh> "Oh really?"
[14:56] * [BNS]Minase immediately regrets her poor choice of words
[14:57] <huh> The door opens. Two guards enter and seize you. They strip you down, then ungently leave you in your cell, shutting the door again.
[14:58] <@[BNS]Minase> Th-this is an OUTRAGE! When my father hears about this, it'll be WAR! WAR UPON YOU ALL!!!
[14:58] <huh> They just laugh.
[15:00] * [BNS]Minase growls audibly, then curls up in a corner, trying to conserve her modesty and staring at the scraps of material that pass for 'clothing'.
[15:00] <@[BNS]Minase> ...
[15:01] * [BNS]Minase fidgets uncomfortably as a cold, damp breeze blows through her cell, while The Outfit taunts her predicament
[15:02] <@[BNS]Minase> ...
[15:03] * [BNS]Minase 's stomach growls as she realizes that she hasn't eaten since the party entered the city, while The Outfit enjoys a full banquet, seated at its table of indecenc- oh god, now she's hallucinating.
[15:04] * [BNS]Minase stares at The Outfit
[15:04] <@[BNS]Minase> [The Outfit stares back]
[15:05] <@[BNS]Minase> ......///
[15:07] * [BNS]Minase blushes as she resigns herself to her fate and puts on the outfit. As expected, it's about two sizes too small, and even with Minase's conservative figure, she still is practically bursting out of the tangled mess of leather straps that hold the scant patches of fabric over her naughty bits.
[15:07] <@[BNS]Minase> o O (This city will /burn/)
[15:07] <huh> "Hey, she actually put it on!"
[15:07] <@[BNS]Minase> !!!
[15:09] * [BNS]Minase turns around with eyes blazing, pointing the staff at the door, blasting the unfortunate schmuck peeping through the window with a lightning bolt
[15:15] <huh> There's laughter outside the cell
[15:15] <huh> "She's a lively one!"
[15:16] <huh> "If she didn't have those legs, she'd be a real catch."
[15:18] * [BNS]Minase is scowling as she desperately tries to resituate the outfit so it stops cutting off the circulation to her lower body.
[15:28] <huh> You're left like that for a while, and then the door latch clicks and a female merrow enters.
[15:33] * [BNS]Minase looks up, slightly surprised
[15:35] <huh> She sizes you up.
[15:35] <huh> "You're the new one? Very well come with me."
[15:36] * [BNS]Minase opens her mouth as if to protest, but then remembers how cold and damp the cell is, and decides to just follow for now
[15:37] <huh> "As of this moment, you are a member of the king's slave harem!"
[15:37] <@[BNS]Minase> Wh-what?!
[15:37] * [BNS]Minase is stunned silent
[15:37] <@[BNS]Minase> N-not bloody likely!
[15:38] <huh> "It is the least you can do to repay the favor of sparng your insignificant life."
[15:38] * [BNS]Minase tenses up and grits her teeth...
[15:39] <@[BNS]Minase> o O (Dammit, Mom? Why did you always teach me to respect fellow royalty so much!?)
[15:41] * [BNS]Minase finds herself compelled to cease her protests
[15:41] <huh> First of all, show me what you can do already. Let me see if you can bring out your potential.
[15:44] <@[BNS]Minase> What do you mean, 'What I can do?'
[15:44] * [BNS]Minase has a very skeptical look
[15:44] <huh> "I mean dance."
[15:45] <@[BNS]Minase> ...
[15:45] * [BNS]Minase sighs, and decides to just go along with it.
[15:46] * [BNS]Minase closes her eyes, drowns out the sensations of her current situation, and thinks back to her younger days spent in the forest, and her favorite time of year, the Harvest Festival.
[15:48] * [BNS]Minase starts to perform a traditional Kitsune celebratory dance. There's a lot of spinning, jumping and other actions that creatures without legs really can't perform well.
[15:53] <huh> The matron claps.
[15:53] <huh> Good, good.
[15:55] <huh> "It's a start."
[15:55] * [BNS]Minase wraps her arms around herself. Did she mention it's cold and damp?
[15:56] <huh> "In the future, use your hips more."
[15:57] * [BNS]Minase is slightly repulsed by that insinuation.
[16:04] <huh> "You have natural talent. You could have made a lot of money if you used it the right way."
[16:05] <@[BNS]Minase> I make more money using my other talents.
[16:05] <huh> "Made, dear. You're a slave now."
[16:05] <@[BNS]Minase> We'll see~
[16:07] <huh> "Oh, a cocky one. You'll be broken soon enough."
[16:09] <@[BNS]Minase> Please. My parents tried and failed, what makes you think that you all are gonna have better luck?
[16:09] * [BNS]Minase smirks
[16:09] <huh> "Did your parents use whips and chains?"
[16:12] * [BNS]Minase frowns as she has her smart mouth shut for her
[16:18] <huh> Anyhow, it seems like you are, for now, suitable. You will go join the other slave girls.
[16:19] <@[BNS]Minase> Oh joy, I'm /suitable/.
[16:19] * [BNS]Minase trudges along with unbridled enthusiasm.
[16:22] <huh> You're stuck in a chamber littered with bedding, cushions, sweets and bits of jewlery. Girls of various xenotypes lie around in much the same manner of dress as you.
[16:24] <@[BNS]Minase> Oh great, I've joined the royal menagerie.
[16:24] * [BNS]Minase sighs
[16:25] <huh> Many of them look up, some wave at you.
[16:26] * [BNS]Minase takes a closer look at how many and what species they are
[16:30] <huh> About a dozen, mostly merrow, a couple humans, some stranger species like a dark elf, a tiefling, and a harpy.
[16:31] * [BNS]Minase suddenly perks up and points at the harpy, opening her mouth as if to say something, but then thinks better of it.
[16:35] <huh> "Oh, are you a new girl? Come, make yourself comfortable!"
[16:35] <huh> One of the other humans pats a cushion next to her.
[16:35] <huh> The dark eld is sulking in a corner.
[16:35] <@[BNS]Minase> I have no idea where that cushion's been. Good where I am. Thanks.
[16:36] <huh> "Aw, it's probably been washed since then."
[16:36] <@[BNS]Minase> You drive a hard sale, but I'll abstain.
[16:37] <@[BNS]Minase> So, how many of you are former guilders?
[16:37] <huh> THe dark elf and one of the humans raise their hands.
[16:38] <@[BNS]Minase> Well, that's somewhat heartening.
[16:38] <huh> "I assume you're the reinforcements?"
[16:38] <@[BNS]Minase> Me? No, just a treasure hunter.
[16:39] <huh> The girl nods.
[16:39] <huh> "Well, might as well make yourself comfortable."
[16:41] <huh> "You're probably stuck here. You'll eventually learn to enjoy yourself."
[16:41] <huh> THe matron leaves silently.
[16:41] <@[BNS]Minase> Enjoy myself? Surely you jest.
[16:42] <huh> "Or you could be like her."
[16:42] <huh> She jerks her thumb at the elf.
[16:42] * [BNS]Minase looks at the elf then looks back
[16:42] <@[BNS]Minase> What about Option C?
[16:42] <huh> "What's that?"
[16:43] <@[BNS]Minase> Leave here with plenty of loot as soon as the rest of my useless party finds me and busts me out.
[16:45] <huh> "You mean there's more of you?"
[16:45] <huh> Some girls immediately crowd around.
[16:45] <@[BNS]Minase> Of course there is. You don't think that me, a spindly-wristed spellcaster, would come here on my own, would you?
[16:47] <huh> "Then... there might be a chance?"
[16:48] <@[BNS]Minase> So, how did the rest of you fall into the king's good graces enough to be rewarded the privledge of this glorious vocation?
[16:51] <huh> "Well, the merrow girls are chosen every year from the youngest virgins."
[16:51] <huh> "The rest, I guess, are either spoils of war or wayward travellers."
[16:52] * [BNS]Minase ponders that information
[17:09] <huh> One of the girls offers you a caramel.
[17:10] * [BNS]Minase takes it and eats it quickly, she's famished not having eaten anything in a good while now
[17:10] <@[BNS]Minase> Thanks.
[17:11] <huh> The girl looks like the youngest here.
[17:11] <huh> "If you do escape... can you take me with you?"
[17:11] <@[BNS]Minase> Sure.
[17:11] * [BNS]Minase gives her a thumbs-up
[17:11] <huh> She smiles happily.
[17:15] <huh> "Thank you!"
[17:15] <@[BNS]Minase> Thank me when we get out of here first.
[17:16] <huh> "Yeah... I'm sure you'll come through!"
[17:16] <huh> "New girl! You're being called!
[17:17] <@[BNS]Minase> Eh?
[17:17] <@[BNS]Minase> Called? What?
[17:18] <huh> "To the king's chamber! You're his girl for the day!"
[17:19] * [BNS]Minase 's ears droop as she reluctantly makes her way to the King's chamber...
[17:19] <huh> "G-Good luck!"
[17:19] <huh> THe little girl calls behind you.
[17:20] <@[BNS]Minase> Heh... yeah, thanks...
[17:20] * [BNS]Minase is somewhat crestfallen
[17:21] <huh> You get a leather choker with a chain fastened around your neck.
[17:21] <@[BNS]Minase> Ack! Hey, take it easy!
[17:31] <huh> They push you into the king's chamber.
[17:35] * [BNS]Minase stumbles into the chamber, chain clinking behind her.
[17:35] * [BNS]Minase shouts back at the attendants
[17:35] <@[BNS]Minase> HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DANCE WITH THIS ON ME?
[17:35] * [BNS]Minase rattles her chain
[17:36] <huh> "Just look pretty!"
[17:37] <huh> One of them hands the chain to the king.
[17:38] <huh> The king takes it.
[17:38] * [BNS]Minase mutters under her breath.
[17:39] <huh> "I hope you find your new acoommodations pleasing?"
[17:39] * [BNS]Minase frowns at the King
[17:41] <huh> "That look answers the question as plainly as still water."
[17:43] <huh> "Well, the suit was meant to be demeaning above all else."
[17:45] <@[BNS]Minase> Yeah, well, mission accomplished.
[17:45] * [BNS]Minase crosses her arms
[17:50] <huh> "You'll get used to it, girl."
[17:52] <huh> "And your friends, too, will join you. The pretty ones, anyway."
[17:54] <@[BNS]Minase> Hah. You keep thinking that, your Majesty. I've been in worse situations than this.
[17:55] <huh> "Hm. do not underestimate my royal guard."
[17:56] <@[BNS]Minase> Meh, royal... militia... they all burn the same.
[17:56] * [BNS]Minase grins
[17:57] <@[BNS]Minase> So, I take it you haven't brought me here just to have this rousing discussion. What is it exactly that you'll be disappointed to learn that I won't be providing you with this day, your Majesty?
[18:04] <huh> "I want to talk to you more about that claim of a Lich."
[18:04] * [BNS]Minase demeanor suddenly shifts, and raises an eyebrow
[18:05] <@[BNS]Minase> ...yeah, what about it?
[18:05] <huh> "The priestesses could find no traces of possession."
[18:05] <@[BNS]Minase> Well of course not. He disappeared after I kept trying to cast a Binding spell on him.
[18:07] <@[BNS]Minase> And don't say 'A likely story', because I hate people saying that whenever they don't believe what I'm saying.
[18:08] <huh> "I still don't know why I should believe you."
[18:09] <@[BNS]Minase> Because the Lich was trying to kill /us/ too.
[18:09] <@[BNS]Minase> So, we need to destroy his phylactery before he can regenerate.
[18:09] <huh> "And what is his phylactery?"
[18:09] * [BNS]Minase points to the amulet around the King's neck
[18:10] <@[BNS]Minase> That. I know because I cast a binding spell on the Lich's spirit when we defeated him, and it led me here.
[18:12] <huh> "This? This is the symbol of our royalty, passed down from my father's father, and to him from my kin from ages past!"
[18:13] <@[BNS]Minase> ...of course it is.
[18:13] * [BNS]Minase sighs
[18:14] <@[BNS]Minase> Can't ever be some worthless bauble lying on top of a pile of gold in some forgotten vault. Nooooo, has to be the priceless royal family heirloom.
[18:15] <huh> "No matter the circumstances, I can't just give it to you."
[18:15] <@[BNS]Minase> I don't want it, we just need to destroy it.
[18:16] <huh> "That's worse."
[18:17] <@[BNS]Minase> Well, what's worse? Losing your symbol of royalty, which can easily be replaced by some other ornamental piece of jewelry, or losing your life, your people and your city to an angry, vengeful Necromancer Lich?
[18:18] <huh> "That may or may not exist."
[18:18] <@[BNS]Minase> You know, I could invite you to send guards to investigate the arena where we fought the Lich, but I just know already that the lich's remains will have mysteriously disappeared by now.
[18:19] * [BNS]Minase sighs again
[18:20] <@[BNS]Minase> Figures that he had to summon ghosts and not zombies. Zombies leave much more of a mess after a fight.
[18:21] <huh> "You seem rather jaded about this entire thing."
[18:21] <@[BNS]Minase> You get used to it after the first few dozen quests.
[18:24] <huh> "I see."
[18:32] <@[BNS]Minase> Nah, you don't get it. Cuz see, if you actually got it, you'd be pulling that amulet off your neck and tossing it in the nearest smelter so fast you'd have whiplash.
[18:47] <huh> "You have proven nothing as of yet."
[18:49] * [BNS]Minase sighs
[18:49] <@[BNS]Minase> Well then, nice knowing you. It's going to suck having to blow up your reanimated corpse.
[18:51] <huh> "Your tongue is starting to wear my patience thin, girl."
[18:52] <huh> He jerks the chain a bit.
[18:53] <@[BNS]Minase> Oh, so it's starting to match the breadth of your foresight?
[18:53] <@[BNS]Minase> -erk!
[18:53] <huh> "Now you've just fallen to insults, and I will not be insulted. particularly not by a slave."
[18:55] <huh> "It seems you must be taught obedience."
[18:57] <@[BNS]Minase> Heh, I've seen it happen so many times, but I still just can't wait until you finally realize the truth, and then you'll say "OH NO, I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO-" and then you'll be dead because the Lich zapped you with one mother of a Death spell.
[18:58] <huh> "Silence!"
[18:59] <huh> He jerks the chain again, hard enough to pull you off your feet.
[18:59] * [BNS]Minase lands on the ground, gagging and clutching her throat
[18:59] <@[BNS]Minase> Ugh...coffcoff
[19:00] <huh> He smirks in pleasure at your punishment.
[19:02] <@[BNS]Minase> That... the best you got? I've been attacked by kobolds that hurt more than that.
[19:03] <huh> "Grr! Servants, fetch the whip!"
[19:04] <huh> "My lord, it may leave marks..."
[19:05] <huh> "Hmm..."
[19:05] <huh> He stares at you.
[19:05] <huh> "The rope, then."
[19:05] * [BNS]Minase kneels on the ground, staring back
[19:07] <huh> "You must be taught manners. I will show you just how low I have the power to make you."
[19:08] <@[BNS]Minase> Things more powerful than you have tried and failed. Give it your best shot.
[19:08] <huh> Two female servants approach you with a rope and begin to tie you up in a rather uncomfortably provocative fashion.
[19:09] <@[BNS]Minase> Ah!
[19:10] * [BNS]Minase tries to resist, but fails due to spindly mage wrists
[19:10] <huh> Now, hold her still, and bring the royal portraitist.
[19:11] <@[BNS]Minase> Wait, what?
[19:11] * [BNS]Minase struggles... all she seems to do is manage to make the ropes tighter...
[19:12] <huh> What kingdom did you say you were from again? I'm sure they would love to see how their precious daughter is doing.
[19:14] * [BNS]Minase is suddenly very concerned.
[19:14] <@[BNS]Minase> Haha... I know! Too bad you don't remember...! Hahaha...
[19:19] <huh> "I can easily-"
[19:19] <huh> There's a commotion outside the door.
[19:19] * [BNS]Minase cranes her head towards the door.
[19:19] <@[BNS]Minase> !!
[19:20] <huh> It sounds like fighting.
[19:20] <@[BNS]Minase> Oh man... you're in so much trouble~
[19:20] * [BNS]Minase has a huge smile on her face.
[19:20] <huh> "Curses be! Guards, watch the door!"
[19:23] <huh> "And for you-"
[19:24] <huh> He stops and turns behind him, where the Lich reappears.
[19:24] <huh> "Wha? I-"
[19:24] <huh> The ghostly figure grabs him, then sinks into his body.
[19:24] <@[BNS]Minase> Saw it coming...
