PMS 19

[21:17] <Halifax> [The Coffins crew scatter to gather what the can for the journey ahead. Ellisa and Halifax are going to buy the horses and hopefully a cart. In the streets they see Ariel walking along. She must have gotten tired of being with the rest of the crew.]
[21:19] <Halifax> Aye~ Fancy running into you!~
06[21:19] * Halifax wave to Ariel as she approaches.
[21:19] <Ellisa> Aha.. our little princess finally gotten out now eh?
[21:20] <Halifax> [The air is a bit chilly and the clouds are somewhat thick... It looks like it will start hailing in a little bit.
[21:20] <Halifax> ]
[21:24] <[k]Ariel> ....
06[21:24] * [k]Ariel glares.
06[21:24] * Ellisa grins.
06[21:24] * [k]Ariel sighs.
[21:24] <Halifax> Awww...
[21:24] <[k]Ariel> Oh, it's you.
[21:25] <[k]Ariel> Greetings, captain. Where's the others?
[21:25] <Halifax> They went their ways... I think Emily is still at the hotel. Anyway, sorry for leaving you behind...
[21:26] <Halifax> I wasn't sure if you would want to be dragged onto land and away from the sea.
[21:26] <Halifax> Heavens knows, I wouldn't.
[21:26] <[k]Ariel> a-ahem! I am as good on land as in the sea! I'm not that weak!
06[21:26] * [k]Ariel turns away.
[21:26] <[k]Ariel> 15But thank you for your concerns.
06[21:27] * Halifax pats her on the head and gives her a good, quick squeeze.
06[21:27] * Halifax lets go of the hug.
[21:27] <[k]Ariel> ---?!
06[21:27] * [k]Ariel is in defensive modo!
[21:27] <[k]Ariel> wha-
06[21:28] * Halifax feels good. Like she had some release last night... Emotional and physical.
06[21:29] * Halifax puts an arm around Ariel's shoulder and begins marching down the street towards the nearest stable. Spirits high.
[21:29] <Halifax> Come along now. The days awastin'~
06[21:29] * Ellisa follows behind, hummin' a tune.
[21:33] <[k]Ariel> That's-
06[21:33] * [k]Ariel is flustered.
[21:34] <[k]Ariel> Getting too familiar with the crew might cause more insubordination!
06[21:34] * [k]Ariel ,however, doesn't try to push Hali away.
[21:34] <Halifax> I don't think I'd mind being in subordinates...
06[21:35] * Halifax says slyly.
[21:36] <[k]Ariel> Oh you.
06[21:37] * [k]Ariel simmer down. This is nice...
06[21:38] * Halifax grips Ariel tight as they walk. The sky seems to get dark now as the clouds looks heavy with ice...
[21:38] <[k]Ariel> It's getting colder...
06[21:39] * Halifax brrrr...
[21:39] <Halifax> It sure is.
06[21:41] * Ellisa looks up and smiles solemnly. This.. feeling is familiar...
[21:41] <Halifax> [Suddenly! The storm breaks! Heavy pieces of ice fall from the skies! Quickly! Get to cover!]
06[21:42] * [k]Ariel got a nice donk from ice pellet.
[21:42] <[k]Ariel> Ow!
[21:43] <Ellisa> Ah... such a shame... t'was nice while it lasted!
[21:46] <[k]Ariel> You like getting shot at by ice shards?! Be my guest!
[21:46] <Halifax> [Everyone rushes to the shade of the heavy pine trees nearby. The trees keep the hail from hitting heavily but leaving their safety is not advised.]
06[21:47] * [k]Ariel hugs the tree.
[21:47] <ShadowyFigure>Oh ho ho~ What do we have here boys?
[21:48] <DarkFigure>Stop calling me boys... I'm just one guy! Anyway, I want the silver haired chick this time. You always get the exotic ones.
[21:49] <Halifax> [Two men step out of the darkness. One is dressed entirely in black, he seems depressed but he holds a knife like he knows how to use it.]
[21:50] <Halifax> [The other seems to be wearing a full cloak concealing all of his features. He is riffling a deck of Tarot cards in his hand.]
[21:50] <[k]Ariel> ....unusual guest in this weather.
[21:50] <Ellisa> hmm?
[21:51] <Ellisa> Entertainment so soon?
[21:51] <TomTheTarotMaster>Ah good fortune boys! Looks like we'll get some goods with our entertainment!
06[21:51] * [k]Ariel sighs.
[21:51] <[k]Ariel> World are dangerous these days...
06[21:51] * TomTheTarotMaster eyes there pouches....
[21:53] <UnluckyChris>The world IS dangerous. Just got back from my parents funeral...
06[21:53] * UnluckyChris runs his hand through his black hair and grins.
[21:53] <[k]Ariel> Too bad they will have to meet his prodigal son sooner than they expected.
06[21:53] * [k]Ariel shrugs.
06[21:54] * Ellisa sighs.
[21:54] <Ellisa> Leave us and I'll be glad to spare your insignificant lives.
[21:54] <UnluckyChris>I really didn't WANT to kill them, but they came at me first; looks like you're gonna make the same mistakes, hm?
[21:55] <[k]Ariel> Enough talk. Have at ye.
06[21:55] * [k]Ariel fingerwag.
[21:55] <TomTheTarotMaster>HA!
06[21:58] * TomTheTarotMaster draws the tower card and throws it! It hits the branches of the tree above Ellisa causing a cascade of ices and snow and wood to fall on her!
06[21:59] * Ellisa gets clonked by a large one and shifts around a little, pissing her off considerable.y
06[22:04] * [k]Ariel wait for counter. She's not very agile, herself. So she aims to use as less movement as possible.
06[22:06] * UnluckyChris makes his move on the blonde chick since the glasses wearing one doesn't seems like she's the fighting type... His knife darts out!
06[22:08] * Halifax grabs his arm as he lunges, but with a quick flick of his wrist, Chris dig the knife across the captains hand. She throws a punch, but he darts backwards.
[22:09] <UnluckyChris>Dangerous world eh? So much for all their talk.
[22:09] <[k]Ariel> C-captain! you are bleeding!
[22:10] <TomTheTarotMaster>I know, right boys? Sometimes you just got to trust me, today IS your lucky day!
[22:11] <UnluckyChris> Stop calling me BOYS!
06[22:13] * Ellisa pulls out her sword and swings at Chris...
06[22:14] * Ellisa then slips on a hail falling torwards hi,
[22:14] <UnluckyChris>What the F$&# are you doing?
06[22:15] * UnluckyChris shrugs as he slashes Ellisa once before she falls on her face...
06[22:15] * Ellisa takes a rather heaping cut across her arms, deep wounds too.
[22:17] <TomTheTarotMaster>I'll get to taking "care" of the other two. Have fun with that one...
06[22:17] * TomTheTarotMaster makes a move on Ariel...
02[22:19] * Terminal ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[22:23] <[k]Ariel> You wound my captain!
06[22:23] * [k]Ariel katars out.
[22:23] <[k]Ariel> You are given a death sentence!
06[22:23] * [k]Ariel is now filled with fury.
06[22:25] * TomTheTarotMaster rushes with two steel backed cards, strength and the chariot. He clashes with Ariel.
[22:27] <[k]Ariel> Silly paper cards cannot compare to my blade filled with hatred to your kind!
06[22:27] * Halifax pulls a gun and fires. Nightmares of all the people she has kill blind her enough to make her aim off target, but the noise gives Ariel an opening!
[22:28] <Ellisa> ..ugh... you are SO going to die now!
06[22:30] * [k]Ariel jumps, grab his head using the sharp end of her blade and TWIST.
06[22:30] * [k]Ariel lands. Another crimson flower blooms.
06[22:32] * Ellisa takes a different stance this time, much smoother but barbaric in nature, she slashes at him with unrestricted force, the swing itself if even graze would hurt.
06[22:32] * TomTheTarotMaster is heavily wounded, but he is not down yet...!
[22:32] <[k]Ariel> Kuh, persistent little man!
06[22:33] * UnluckyChris tries to sidestep the attack, but trips over his own feet. The sword penetrates flesh and he faints from the sight of his own blood... Also, it was a decent wound...
06[22:34] * TomTheTarotMaster looks desperate!
06[22:36] * Ellisa walks over eyes wincing in pain, she steps on him, making some cracking noises as she crushes the poor guy's back with the heel of her boot.
[22:36] <Ellisa> You want some of huh?.. here.. have as much as you like!
[22:37] <Ellisa> [*me]
06[22:38] * TomTheTarotMaster draw the fool card! He launches the entirety of his deck at everyone!
[22:40] <Halifax> [While the cards flutter lamely in front of everyone's eyes. The distraction was just great enough for Tom to make a getaway with a fainted Chris. His escaping skill are apparently unparalleled.]
[22:41] <[k]Ariel> Get back here! I still need you to bleed more! You haven't paid your price yet!
06[22:41] * [k]Ariel fistshake.
06[22:41] * UnluckyChris's belongings apparently fell out of his pockets. Poor guy...
[22:43] <Ellisa> hose of you lucky enough to have your lives, take them with you. However, leave the loot you've lost. They belong to me now.
[22:43] <Ellisa> [*Those]
[22:45] <Halifax> [The hail lets up though the sky is still dark... It looks like rain, but you can tell that there won't be any of that today.]
[22:46] <Halifax> Ow...
[22:46] <[k]Ariel> Fighting a gang of thug in a hailstorm. What a day.
06[22:46] * Halifax glances down at her cut. She must be getting rusty...
[22:46] <[k]Ariel> Oh--!
06[22:46] * [k]Ariel ran over to her captain!
[22:46] <[k]Ariel> you are hurt!
[22:46] <Halifax> Nah, this is just a scratch. Are you okay?
[22:47] <[k]Ariel> No it is NOT! You are bleeding! It's not okay when you are bleeding!
[22:47] <Ellisa> Hey..
06[22:47] * [k]Ariel doesn't even care about Ellisa's welfare! what a girl!
06[22:47] * Ellisa picks up whatever this item is..
[22:47] <Ellisa> Look what they dropped.. heh..
[22:50] <Halifax> [Ellisa acquired "Unlucky Knife". It's a knife that is Unlucky. Ellisa acquired "Tarot Cards". The are all steel back, which is cool. Ellisa acquired loot. It's some amount of gold. You should share!]
[22:50] <[k]Ariel> Uh....erm.... first aid, first aid....?
[22:50] <Ellisa> Hey Capt'n?
[22:51] <Halifax> Yeah?
06[22:51] * Ellisa tosses a tidy sum of gold coins she found at her.
[22:52] <Ellisa> All yours.
[22:52] <Ellisa> [Bag along with it as well]
06[22:52] * [k]Ariel is thinking about basic first aid. She learned that in class from Mr.Octopus. he's a great instructor, but he forgot that mermaids doesn't have eight hands.
[22:52] <[k]Ariel> Let's just wrap this, for starters!
06[22:52] * Halifax catches the gold with her cut hand and winces. She drops it and luckily catches it with he good hand.
[22:52] <Ellisa> A-ah.. sorry about that.
[22:52] <Halifax> [=-=her*]
06[22:53] * [k]Ariel shot an angry glare at Ellisa.
06[22:53] * [k]Ariel wrap wrap.
[22:54] <Halifax> T-thanks Ariel...
06[22:55] * Ellisa takes the knife and grips the handle...hmm.. and she swings it around a few time..
06[22:56] * [k]Ariel actually can't remember anything from Mr.Ock except his mildly suggestive tentacles, but when she open her eyes and witness her doings, it tuens out fine! Whew!
[22:57] <[k]Ariel> Done!
06[22:59] * Ellisa swings and gashes near her open wound again.. ah!...she drops the knife, which.. for some reason stabs her feet as she lets out a loud yelp and the covers her mouth.
[23:01] <Ellisa> Damn. sonofa---what the hell is up with this knife...
[23:01] <[k]Ariel> Isn't it just you being clumsy?
06[23:02] * Halifax blushes slightly... Then giggles at Elli's clumsiness.
[23:02] <Ellisa> ..Fuck.. I'm bleeding again.
06[23:02] * Ellisa sighs... and picks up the knife, putting it away for a better use or a gift for a certain person later.
[23:03] <Ellisa> W-whats so funny?
[23:03] <Halifax> Here, some gold will make you forget your troubles~
06[23:03] * Halifax splits the bounty.
[23:05] <Ellisa> Keep it capt'n. I'll just be spending it on you girls anyway.
06[23:05] * [k]Ariel is fond of shinies by nature.
06[23:06] * Halifax won't take back money and Elli' should know that.
[23:07] <Ellisa> F-fine...
06[23:08] * Ellisa blushes slightly as she touches captain's hand scooping her share of gold, she switches the gold with those tarot cards.
[23:09] <Ellisa> I think The countess would like those cards, give em' as a gift will ya?
06[23:09] * Halifax pockets them and blushes... She probably would...
[23:10] <[k]Ariel> Steel cards. That may be too dangerous for an aristocrat's plaything.
[23:10] <Halifax> Ah, do you want them Ariel?
06[23:11] * Halifax asks seriously...
[23:11] <Ellisa> Ah.. actually capt'n.
[23:11] <Ellisa> You should learn how to do Taro and do a fortune telling for the countess.
[23:11] <Ellisa> [*Tarot]
[23:11] <[k]Ariel> ....I can take it, if you really insist...
06[23:11] * [k]Ariel blushes.
[23:12] <Halifax> Ah, okay then. They're yours. Sorry I can't live up to your expectations somedays Elli'
[23:13] <Ellisa> Ah well I'll teach ya sometimes...
06[23:13] * Halifax places the cards in Ariel's hands. Seeing her happy is such a treat.
06[23:13] * [k]Ariel is happy, but tries her best not to show it out.
[23:15] <[k]Ariel> Don't think you can win me over just this generic gift, okay? I just take this from you because you don't want it, that's all!
[23:18] <Ellisa> You know.. outright denial is the first sign to acceptance.
[23:21] <[k]Ariel> Silly theory with no backups. Don't make me laugh!
06[23:21] * [k]Ariel ahems.
[23:25] <Ellisa> now then..
[23:25] <Ellisa> Are you ok capt'n? They didn't hurt ya too mcuh now?
[23:26] <Halifax> I'm no push over.
06[23:26] * Ellisa grins.
[23:26] <Ellisa> I think that kraken did worse than them.
[23:27] <Halifax> It did. They didn't make me drop my hat.
[23:27] <[k]Ariel> Look who put the most effort fending that legendary sea creature.
06[23:27] * [k]Ariel hmphs.
[23:27] <[k]Ariel> Of course you didn't do anything!
[23:30] <Ellisa> I didn't do anything?...
[23:31] <Halifax> Oh come now, just because neither of you SAW each other working at the thing doesn't mean you both weren't working your hardest...
06[23:32] * Ellisa chuckles.
[23:32] <Ellisa> This is hardly bickering Capt'n. I'm having fun here.
[23:36] <Halifax> Well, in any case we could be making headway while the weather is clear... I mean, we're almost to the stables as is.
03[23:36] * [k]Ariel is now known as Kiri
03[23:38] * Kiri is now known as [k]Ariel
06[23:39] * Halifax starts heading off again... leaving the other two behind...
[23:39] <Ellisa> Only for the three of us sir?
[23:39] <Ellisa> [*Capt'n]
06[23:39] * [k]Ariel follows.
[23:39] <[k]Ariel> Wait for me!
[23:40] <Halifax> Nah, we'll need to get mounts for everyone, but we only have to buy them all, we can ride out on our own.
[23:41] <Halifax> Or pick them up in the morning if everyone wants to wait till tomorrow.
[23:42] <[k]Ariel> well we can let the others ride on ours.
[23:42] <[k]Ariel> Like, you can ride with me while letting the others ride yours...
06[23:42] * [k]Ariel is obviously filling with underlying motives.
[23:42] <Halifax> hmmm...
06[23:43] * Ellisa smirks at pays no attention to it and picks this one...its orange but.. seems.. like it's a friend for life.
06[23:43] * [k]Ariel picks the ash gray one.
06[23:44] * Halifax pays off the stable owner for more then all the horses combined.
[23:47] <Ellisa> Are we plannin' to get them all now?
06[23:48] * Halifax A strong, beige stallion. "Agro" by the looks of it, nuzzles against the captain. She picks it for her own mount.
[23:48] <[k]Ariel> Heh. Those guys bought us a horse. Such a nice fellow.
06[23:48] * [k]Ariel pats "Seabiscuit", her ashgray mount.
[23:50] <Halifax> Nah, we should leave them here in the stables for the night. Don't just want them outside the inn if the weather turns bad
[23:50] <Ellisa> A fine plan.
06[23:50] * Halifax is nuzzled some more.
[23:50] <Halifax> Buuut....
06[23:50] * Halifax wants to spoil her "little pony" already.
[23:51] <Halifax> I guess we can take them for a little leg stretching~
06[23:51] * Halifax mounts and bolts...
[23:51] <[k]Ariel> at least!
06[23:51] * Ellisa chuckles.
[23:51] <Ellisa> Ah.. so soon.. she must really like her steed..
06[23:51] * [k]Ariel mounts and be gentle.
06[23:52] * Ellisa mounts as dashes after capt'n. "Wait!.. geez"
[23:52] <[k]Ariel> Coo... coo... easy, easy.
06[23:52] * [k]Ariel follows, though a lot slower than her companion.
