Session Start: Sun Dec 26 23:01:03 1999 * Logging #Lunar-IoG to '#lunar-iog.log' And don't be thinkin' you get away either, my fan is fast, foo' *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... ... *** TheStoryteller sets mode: +m my van Wow, that fan sure is spinning quickly! ^^; Shuddup foo' or I'll toss yo ass to da Blue Star w0rd! How about I toss you into this! ~~ SESSION START ~~ Ťooc: Johnathan would be betta if he gone to youth centers and drank his milk ť <> << Throw me to the blue star, and I'll change my name to George, grabs some baked beans, and flys back! ;) >> Ťooc: uh...w0rd? ť Ťooc: LOL ť <> We last left our intrepid band of heroes as they evntured into the ruins of Lionhead, disturbed and curious as to what the legend on the door emant. perhaps there was answers in this place, at long last. Ťooc: We're just going in because it's a fetch quest. You know it :O *Whack!* ť << But those answers had to be in the form of a question, sorry. >> The decor of the ruins is worn by the ages, but you can make out faint pictographs and carvings. On the wall burns a couple torches, somhow still staying aflame.. Ťooc: The pictographs show Althena and her harem of innocent ma...oh wait that's me! O_o...*hides* ť << lol >> <> * Scott looks around. " It seems like you can only go upwards via some stone steps in the back of the room.. Upwards and onwards... But there's also tisting passages around it, too. << er twisting >> Ťooc: That was almost perverted ť << almost whew >> << :) >> I donno.. we have some tisting passages here too.. up here isn't nessecarily the way to go, is it? << *duck* >> Ťooc: Rasis! ť << gah >> Ťooc: O_o ť << Yo betta be glad I's the log masta! ;) >> I guess it is. There's nowhere else to go. Ťooc: That was mean! ^^; ť * Bree lets her curiosity get the better of her, taking off ahead of everyone towards the twisting passes "I'll go take a look!" .oO(Besides, after what happened with DarkStar in the mystic ruins, I'm kinda leary of going into anymore crypts.) << I'm a bitter, worthless bastard, remember? ;) >> Wait! Bree O_o Bree, don't you think you'd be better off waiting? I know you'd hate it if I had to carry you again *** Yamaneko (oy@rack-3-s22.pionet.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG As Bree runs into the passages ahead, the stairs in front of the party fold down. o_O It must have been a trigger she stepped on. << Test >> << Sweet, OOC alias working again. ;) >> Ťooc: D+ ť O_o Shiiiiiiiittt! Now there is no way upwards. [Ishtar] Oh no... :( Bree! Are you okay?! O_o * Scott puts one hand on his sword hilt. @_@x * Leon eyerolls, "Way to go." * Bree skids to a halt and turns around "You bet I'd hate that.. you and your groping..." *blinks at the sounds* "Um.. what'd I do?" *sweatdrops* Groping? Please. I think you stepped on a switch or something and activated a trap... ..I'm impressed, Bree. Hey...leave her alone.. :/ take it easy, John.. * Johnathan smiles. "You just singlehandedly took out the stairs." * Bree stomps around for the trap again ^^;; I'll fix it! Hold on a second! * Johnathan blinks. "I _am_ taking it easy, Scott." There's a dull click as Bree hits something on the floor again. If anything, this is funny. * Haylee hears the click. "Hmm...be careful..." The part of Fam is now played by Bree ^^;; The wall down the hall shudders and then a big boulder comes rolling out of it.. :o semi-entertaining, maybe...but funny? Oh, I wanted to thank you for the assist back in Zaback, John. *** Yamaneko has quit IRC (Quit: bbl) O_Ox AGH! * Bree yells back out "Did I get it? GYAAAH!!!" *takes off running* "I'll take that as a nooooo!!" << Indiana Jones baby! ;) >> Bree, you're not Illinois Johnson, so stop truing to be like it! Not a probl-... * Haylee takes off running, grabs John in a very kawaii manner by the hand and pulls him away! O_o Run! * Johnathan is half-dragged. The stone comes rolling down the hallway, forcing you all to sprint to keep ahead of it. Ťooc: and half groped. Lucky John. ť * Leon runs * Bree flails as she runs "Gomen ne! Gomen ne! Gomen ne! Gomen neeeeee!" * Scott keeps running, but starts running backwards, as if charging up for something. <> We can't keep running forever, is there something to stop the boulder?! Maybe I can stop it. You realize there's a sharp corner up ahead.. maybe if you could time it right. :) Nope, there's Gomen, Gomen ne, and Gomen nasai Stop the.. hey... maybe.. I'm going to try something. Head around that corner That looks like the best bet * Seth quickly dashes and turns down the corner. * Scott swipes his blade at the ground causing numerous sharp shards of earth to lunge toward Rock..DOU RYU SEN! [Ishtar] SCott.. you'll be lfattened! << er flattened >> Scott, you are a big idiot. * Bree sprints ahead of everyone "Being the theif has advantages when it comes to running!" *sweatdrops* Scott! You're...! << Scott is now... festively plump. ;) >> Ťooc: more like festively flat. ť Scott's technique cuases some rocks to form in the ground, making the jagged path slow it down somewhat.. but it's still coming.. * Johnathan attempts to throw a time-slowing spell on the rock, hoping it'll buy Scott some time to turn and start running again. * Leon grabs Scott by the hair, "Come on hero, use common physics." The rock slows down to a crawl. ^^ * Scott turns around and makes tracks. "Oh well, it was worth a shot." Ahem. * Leon lets go of Scott. * Haylee uses her mental powers to push the rock back. "Back! Sit, Uboo sit! Good rock!" * Leon eyes Haylee. ..don't ask okay. ^^: * Leon eyes the Rock, "Well it doesn't look that strong." I won't. * Seth sweatdrops * Leon casually walks up and decks the rock a good one My Dou Ryu Sen weakened it, Leon....open fire. Haylee can't budge it backwards, but she stops it cold. :) Ťooc: No body knows Uboo? ;_; ť ...Yeah! <> * Haylee whews and wipes the sweat off her forehead. "Nice work everyone!" Leon's punch sends it rolling backwards a few paces in slow mo. * Johnathan watches Leon punch the rock. "...doesn't that hurt?" * Seth pushes the large boulder back to where it came from, making sure not to step on any traps. * Leon squints a little, "Um..yeah..a little..never used to hurt before..." * Bree keeps on running, then skids to a halt right before the sharp turn "Whew.... I thought we were all pancakes..." *pants* * Leon eyes Bree, "Do you mind..NOT setting off all the traps, please?!" <> As Seth pushes it back inch by inch, it falls into a slight groove on the floor. There's a small rumble back the way you came. :) Agh.... Not again Everyone, run this way please. ...Oh by Althena... "Hey! I was checking for danger! Not like I meant to do that..." *folds her arms* * Seth waves [Ishtar] Is that.. a good shaking? Seth NO BAKA YAROU! Maybe those were the stais un-ramping? * Bree points at Seth "See! See! It's not just me! It's this whole place!" "....maybe." *blinks at John* [Bree:#Lunar-IoG PING] * Leon waves the hand he smacked that rock with, "Damn that hurt..why on Lunar did I even try doing it?" Dunno, Leon. * Johnathan shrugs. "Hey, it COULD happen, Bree." Because we all do stupid things? ..I used to do it all the time... * Seth makes sure the boulder is secure and heads over to the stairs * Leon shakes his head, "No..it's not like that..I mean I have done it a lot..but it never started hurting until now." "Guess we go check.. and be careful where we walk.." *starts tippy-toeing around* [Ishtar] leon, how could you hit rocks barehanded and not be wounded? now can we please go a few minutes without setting off a trap? Hmm...*Concered look* I dunno...Isthar..I guess not being pissed off means I am hurt easier. Seth notices the stairs are undead back to themselves, and quite climbable. << gah >> Or you simply pay attention to it. << indeed! >> Indeed? ^^; <> Hey, the stairs are fixed! <> << I told you I'm a mess. ;) >> << ghrrrraaaahhhh brraaaaaiiiinnzz,, >> Ťooc: LOL! ť Ťooc: hugs ST ^_^ ť Come here Bree * Seth climbs up the stairs, again checking for anymore traps. * Haylee climbs the stairs, whistling! ^^: * Bree sweatdrops, staying away "No way.. you're gonna smack me..." * Johnathan follows Seth up. * Scott follows Seth, keeping a sharp eye out ofr any traps. "I don't like this place, guys." * Bree goes up the stairs backwards, crowbar in hand, watching Leon carefully No, I won't smack you..but if you set off any more traps, I'm gonna carry you. You all head upwards.. If he smacks you Bree I'll smack him back. *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 24: The Seekers of Truth | Location: Lionhead Ruins, 2F | 3265 $P =-' * Leon snickers as he walks up the stairs, "And it'll take more than that crowbar." ...Actually no, I'll just sing. That's worse for him ;) Oh yeah I will! I'll put his lights out like I did baldy's with this crow bar! This place doesn't seem do dreary.. in fact the walls are less worn, and seem to depict some kind of battle.. * Scott looks at the pictographs. Ťooc: The glorious battle for the Remote Control! :O ť <> * Bree blows some of the dust off the walls, taking a look for herself * Haylee looks at the pictographs. "Hmm." * Leon looks at the walls, "Nice artwork." << We're watching Friends! WWF! I have the remote, fagboy! That's it, I'm destroying the Blue Star for that! >> Not gonna touch the walls... might be buttons on them... Look a lot like the ones on the Star Tower.... Ťooc: LOL! ť I wonder what these are all about... Seth.. you've been in the Star tower? * Scott thinks back to his obscure legends classes at the guild. Bree don't touch anything. Errr... Nevermind. Ťooc: God John! LOL!! ť You see groups of people in conflict, two glowing figure behind them, one in dark, and the other light. I've gotta touch the floor.. otherwise I can't walk around... and I'm NOT letting you carry me! Ťooc: I don't see Althena saying 'fagboy' ;P ť Hmm...I believe this was the second rising of Zohpar. Althena and Zophar? No, seriously... I'm quite interested. << The goddess of love, beauty, song, and profanity. >> I don't think that's Zophar. this must represent the battle of Althena vs. Zophar before there was life on Lunar. lol! The mural continues farther down the hall.. "If it's not Zophar.. who is it?" *blinks* << ~la la la la Zophar you're a damn ugly bitch la la...~ >> I think it is Zophar, and the four heroes. could it be Zeio? no...he can't be that old... ...could be, Scott... it'd explain some of what he said... but it doesn't seem quite right. *kicks Zophar in the nuts, battling over the remote control* WHOz Yer Daddy beeeotch!? And the other group is Lucia's group..with Hiro.. But I could be wrong. Ťooc: Zophar: You'z an UUUGGLY ho! I kick you good, wuman! Cuz I hellva tough! ť I'm not nearly as smart as Johnboy You see what seems to be Athena.. surrounded by four people.. << er al >> Althena's Four heroes... Then there are four dragons overhead... Wow... And there's the dragons... * Bree tilts her head to get a better look "Too bad I can't take this with me... it's quite nice..." But past that there is something more. * Leon raises his pointerfinger, "I think I'll shut up now, because I don't know what in the hell is going on." [Ishtar] Hmm. Hey look at this. None of us do, Leon.. your guess is as good as ours. "Maybe if we walk that way..." *points* "These murals will start telling the future?" * Seth points to an area on the far side of the mural. * Scott looks where Seth is pointing. If I appear on these walls, I'll be pissed. << one sec.. pause please >> << need to find the paper scrap >> *** TheFreak (THEFREAK@NYCMB204-41.splitrock.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG <> <> *** Scott sets mode: +o TheFreak ...That'd be nice. Then I could make bets on whether the Azado Twins will beat the Raculi Bullhorns... ^_^ <> << Ohh.. Freak? Yes! Come on in for the Ruin extravaganza! :D >> << this is perfect now >> * Bree sweatdrops "....and I thought I was the theif.." *** TheFreak is now known as Jack <<* Feels like he's in the middle of an ep of Ruin Explorers.>> * Haylee blushes a bit ^^: << You are in Lionhead, 2nd floor looking at murals of Althena.. :) >> That's why I said Fam is being played by Bree, she sets off all the traps ^^; You follow Seth's finegr farther down the pictures... <> *** Johnathan has quit IRC (Ping timeout) Fine! Grrrrrr!!! *** Ras (jesse@acs36.zbzoom.net) has joined #lunar-iog After the one of Althena and the dragons, you see two worlds.. *** Bree sets mode: +o Ras *** Ras is now known as Johnathan << Danke >> Lunar and the Blue Star. The Blue Star... However, it seems wrong.. Lunar and the blue counter part are the same size. <> << Sure Jack. :) >> * Bree sounds intrigued "....wonder why." <> Well that's fucked up * Seth narrows his eyes. I wonder which changed size.. or if both did... Or if they are the same worlds. Whoa...someone has cercumferance problems ^^; no idea. There's too much dust to make out all the details.. but they seem indeed close.. Heey....The Silver Star ISN'T a small world after all.... But compared to the Blue Star, Lunar is much smaller. * Bree tries blowing the dust away "I should have taken a feather duster from that maid at Celyna's house..." * Haylee giggles at Jack and sings a few notes from "It's a Small World After All." ^_^ Continuing on, you see another group of four people.. but this time in the center of them is not Althena. * Scott looks intently at the pictographs. "See! I told you it has to tell the future!" *starts looking for one that looks like herself* It's a woman with one wing of dark, and another of light. * Leon clasps his hands, "Well, I don't know about everyone else, but I like it better when I know what the fuck is going on." *** Johnathan has quit IRC (Ping timeout) ...Whoa...? << John :( >> Ťooc: ^^; ť * Jack looks around "This is some museum we're in...Nice layout!" ^^; We're in ruins Jack. You're just a brilliant guy That woman...could it be.... He's sorta right though.. The pictures stop at a doorway. * Scott looks to Haylee, Bree and the rest of the party..... Yeah! And notice how it's better than your average museum! *Smiles* "Sure could use a cleaning lady though." *blinks at Scott* Jack, since Tahn isn't here I don't have a battering ram You see a circle of five buttons win the shapes of the figures and the woman, with a small inscription under each. * Bree sighs " Yeah.. the jackass..." There also is no handle of any sort. Don't put in for that job. * Jack smirks at leon... The words are surprisingly in more modern Lunarian. :) O_o Ah here we go. * Scott reads the inscription. Well that's basic, I can read that * Haylee tries to read the letters on the buttons. * Bree shakes her sleeve at the buttons dusting them off "And now on to the puzzle..." * Seth stands up to the door and beckons John and Haylee over. Bree, didn't I tell you not to touch anything? "Hey! I didn't touch anything! It's just my sleeve!" *wiggles the loose sleeve at Leon, she pulled her hand back in it* "The dragon on wings of light and dark reveals the gate, the weaver of time and space creates it, the wielder of the sword of starlight widens it, the medium of the mind's voice strengthens it, and the bringer of life's breath lights the path." <> <> the dragon on wings of light and dark... * Leon gasps, "You know what this means?!" the holder of the sword of starlight. What's your favorite color Haylee? Me? "The way to the Truth shall open... for the next challenge to face." Well...I like Purple. ^^; Why? the medium of time and space, the medium of the mind.... <> "Gah... none of these sound like me.." *sighs* "...if it were, it'd say "Stealer of all your fortunes, cutest in all of Lunar"" *sighs again* [Ishtar] Scott.. is that.. ? * Seth grabs Haylee's hand and pushes it against the purple colored button. This means...I still have absolutely no fucking idea on what's going on! Gack! ^^; The button does not do anything.. What is it, Ishtar? Bree's favoriate color is Silver, obviously. I think we're supposed to go in order. [Ishtar] It sounds like your magics... Hmmm..... Magics huh...? * Bree sweatdrops "Just because I like money.. doesn't mean I love the color" could be. I do weild the magics of the stars and the skills of a blademaster. * Leon nods, "Uh huh." But you're not one of the four... Hmm....Purple silver...now that's interesting! ^_^ Five you mean. You also weild the magic of stupid decisions. ...Five...Ah? I guess... ^^: the dragon of light and dark....that one has me puzzled, though. Err "And the funny named attacks.. like that Sushi surprise special.. or whaterver it is.." *giggles* * Seth sweatdrops "Forget I said anything!" Seth? Yeah, you can't beat the Flying Sushi * Haylee scoots closer to Seth. "Mind telling me what you meant?" ^_- * Seth sighs Good idea Seth. * Seth claps his hands together would you mind telling us what you know, Sethius....I think we're entitled to know. Don't be shy. We're all friends here.... [Ishtar] I feel something powerful here.. I hope a mistake doesn't trigger anything.." * Leon folds his arms, "And if you don't tell, you know what'll happen." "I think the buttons need to be pressed together.." *rubs her chin, examining it like an expert* * Seth closes his eyes "I think I can do this" Wait. I want to know what in the bloody shit is going on here. I don't want any buttons pushed or rocks falling on my damn head until someone comes clean. * Seth pushes his hands forward toward the door. I think we're headed for a battle of legendary proportions, Leon. Seth, wait! O_o Seth's hand brushes past the figure of the woman with wings.. it instantly slides inward. Wrong answer. Let's try again. * Seth breathes a sigh a relief. I'm talking to you, Wingboy. Great, it worked! Seth, how could you have done that? good question, now start talking, Sethius. Nevermind that. [Ishtar] Seth..? "He's really a woman?" *sweatdrops* John, you're next. <> I want to know what in the hell is g oing on. *** Johnathan (jesse@acs36.zbzoom.net) has joined #lunar-iog *** Bree sets mode: +o Johnathan << Wow, this sucks. Thanks >> << :( >> Of course Seth, if you don't..you won't need your wings to fly. << Are you missing any of this? let me know.. >> <> << I've missed everything since the blue star and lunar being the same size >> <> Ťooc: Oh OK, Ghaleon is actually the bastard love child of Althena and Dragonmaster Pee Wee ť <> <> Ťooc: You thought that a slightly too small grey suit he's been wearing all these years? That's the Black Dragon Armor, buddy ť <> Ťooc: Pee Wee: Today's secret word of the day is 'bastard'. Whenver anyone hears this word, scream real loud! Okay, let's try it! Hey Ghaleon, you're my bastard love child! AHHHH!!!!!! ť Ťooc: lol ť We're demented ^^;; <> Ťooc: We're both. Let's move on :) ť <> Ťooc: Pee wee, obviously. ť << Who in the hell would have a 'pet' robot? >> <> * Leon walks up to Seth and make sure he is noticed, "Seth, I said I wanted answers." Pee Wee meant Kinky, but he hit the wrong vowel John, come on, it's not hard. [Ishtar] the words say time and space next.. << If you'll excuse me, I'm still damned confused here. >> *** Johnathan has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) O_o;;;; <> Ťooc: O_o Uh...? ť << ack i was posting a recap. o_o >> <> Ťooc: brb.

Refer to msg window for exact wording. :) -> [Johnathan] PING Ooook... *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... Ťooc: We live again? ť *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 24: The Seekers of Truth | Location: Lionhead Ruins, 2F | 3265 $P | Merry Christmas!! Read Sluggy!=-' * Seth taps his foot. Don't tap your foot, answer me dammit! * Seth ignores Leon * Leon cracks his knuckles Leo, it's an obscure legend of a battle to take place for the fate of the world. Apparently, we're part of this legend. "Just grab his chest Gropy, the 8th dwarf, then you'll know if he's a woman or not." *grins* I ain't part of no legend. << Oh yes you are big guy.. haha ^_^ >> * Haylee looks wearily at Seth -_- And if this asshole doesn't start answering me, he's gonna find himself on the Blue Star -> [Johnathan] PING * Bree points at the buttons, though not touching "Do any of those sound like Leon? ...or me for that matter." I am not pushing any buttons. the door stands silently.. awaiting the next action.. Oh but Leon you already have... ^^; *Snicker* [Ishtar] ^^ * Jack grabs TheStoryteller by the shirt "Don't keep us in the dark, tell us what we have to do!" *Pulls out a pocket simon and starts playing*... Nope, they're just buttons for the door. But I'm gonna open this door over here with Seth's head if he doesn...what do you mean I already have? Bree, I don't know how we all wound up in this, but I do know that we're all wound up in this matter. Now, legend or not, we're in the middle of something big... So John, are you ready to press the button? [Ishtar] We shouldn't dally.. what if there are creatures in here? -> [Johnathan] PING ^_- A joke, Leon. A Joke. Ha ha. Funny. Joke. Oh..sorry *snicker*... ^_^ * Leon turns back to Seth, "Now answer boy, or prepare to become aerodynamic." Yeah I know Scott.. but by eliminating who's not on that list, we can figure out who is. << John? >> <> Ťooc: ^^; Geh ť Pingtime 3secs... << aw man.. :( >> Just say he pushed it ^^;; Don't push a damn thing Jphnathan. I don't want anything going down until I know something. * Seth sighs << This is not the time to get stuck.. :/ >> *** Johnathan has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) Don't you sigh at me. Answer my fucking question Just say he pushes the darn thing ^^;;; <> Ťooc: Gah. :/ Just say he pushes it. ť I'm afraid I can't say anything. *** Johnathan (jesse@acs36.zbzoom.net) has joined #lunar-iog * Leon pushes Seth *** Bree sets mode: +o Johnathan << Damn. >> You can say something dammit, don't you lie to me << I shall take over I gu.. John? you ok ^^ >> << I'm getting PO'd here." >> -> [#Lunar-IoG] PING -Scott- this is boring, I'm gonna go entertain myself by smoking pot from 4 orafaces at a time Yeah Seth... you're kinda attached to that wall for now.. so you can't run. Better just talk. Seth, please tell us what's going on.. << :( If you could just hit the shiny red button for me.. ^^ >> I....really....can't... say anything.... mind not pushing me against the wall? <> Oh you can't say anything,, can you... Ťooc: Stimpy: I MUST PUSH THE RED BUTTON! :O ť Ťooc: LOL! GMTA JACK! ť <> << Thanks for walking into that on.. hehe ^_^ >> -> [Johnathan] PING * Leon grabs Seth by the throat, "Maybe this'll get that voice box working for you, now talk, or I'll see to it you never talk again." Ťooc: ^^ Great minds think alike. Ren and Stimpy was my fave show ;D ť [Ishtar] Leon.. stop! :( Leon ^^; * Seth please let go. <> <> Please let go. Please? Please fucking tell me what's going on! Johnathan hesitates before the door.. Leo, cut it out. The only way we'll find out anything is by pressing forward. "Oi.. I thought getting rid of Ramon, and falling in love would've made you less violent.." *folds her arms* John...you can do it... Hehe....You're talking about Leo here! ^_^ * Leon snickers to Bree, "I'm not really pissed, I just don't like being lied to and having my chain jerked." -> [Johnathan] PING * Bree waves a finger "I didn't say pissed.. I said violent. You can be calm and still violent." * Johnathan is watching Leon and Seth, an odd expression on his face. Talk Wingboy. Seth, if it'll stop his rage, tell him SOMETHING...ANYTHING..so we can get on with this. I'm not lying to you. * Jack puts away his pocket Simon << well, we can push buttons in bad order if you want impending doom :o >> In fact, I'm not saying anything. "I think you're in Johnathan's way Leon... he can't get to the button." *sweatdrops* <> Doom II is better ^^ ..I'm with Leon... I want to know. I.... can't say anything... <> Why not? * Bree tosses her arms up, frustrated "Geez! We're never gonna get in there at this rate!" Can you tell us why you can't? <> I don't push any buttons unless I know what's gonna happen...and it appears Johnathan agrees with me. ..or is it that you won't? Your voices echo off the walls... <> .....It's difficult to explain, I'm really supposed actually be here. I should have caught the ship to Horam while I had the chance. Too late now Scott. * Johnathan frowns. "There's something about you... and that key of yours.." "You'll get there soon enough Scott, dont worry." *patpats his back with a smile* Just trust me on this please. I'll explain everything in time. Uh...So...Do we go back the way we came or what? What're we doing? But for now, just push the button. You'd better... Yes, you'd better. * Scott assumes his battoujutsu stance. .oO(Something tells me there's something behind that door.) <> * Johnathan looks at the wall, then back at Seth. "And now isn't time... why?" You know.. maybe that wall has a time counter.. and the more one button is pushed.. the less time till it triggers a trap? or till we find out what's going on, Bree... No, there's some mythlogical thing going on here that none of us are aware of. Why do I feel like I should be wearing a hat and holding a whip...? [Ishtar] I.. wish I knew.. * Johnathan shakes his head, not really talking to anyone in particular. "I hate not knowing these important things... that's the kind of thing that could wind up getting us killed.." I.... have.... some obscure legend that we're all caught up in for some odd reason. * Seth groans. ...We'd better hurry it up :/ And I ain't part of no legends. * Bree examines the floor for triggers, before she takes a seat "Hey.. maybe kids one day'll be playing, and pretending to be us?" *smiles* The place seems just.. deathly quiet.. nothing but you in this place. * Johnathan looks at Seth. "Since you seem to know what's going on.. what happens if we don't play? What if we just turned our backs on this whole 'legend' thing?" ..or can't you tell us that either? Probably something to end all of Lunar... I think I can answer that. Whatever this demon is in the inscription over there...will destroy everything.....now, my question is, just what does this obscure legend have to do with all of us. I know that something is going on..that Lure kid told me. But I want some answers as to what. Then.... I have to find... to find Emili. The black button on the wall seems to call out to John's fingers. You know Seth...that reminds me.. While I'm asking questions.. Ťooc: Button: PUSH THE JOLLY CANDY LIKE BUTTON YOU FOOL! ť Just what in the hell are you and Emili? Stop fighting! .... "Siblings maybe?" *blinks up from the ground* * Johnathan looks at the button again, then back at Seth. Look, something is behind this door. We're not getting anywhere! We interrogate Seth when we're in a much safer place! [Ishtar] I agree... Understood? Go ahead and push the button, Johnathan..but if anything weird happens I'm gonna crack his neck like a chopstick. * Haylee crosses her hands over her chest and pouts. "I'll beat Leon.. and you stick Johnathan's hand on the button Haylee.." *grins a bit* * Johnathan spares a semi-hostile look for Haylee and Bree. * Jack sits down and looks through his backpack, through the assortment of gadgets and other things he pulls out a Rice Cake and starts eating it ;) Heh. That'd prolly blow us up, Bree. But I can place my hands elsewhere...erhm *Blush* Pardon me... -_- << lol >> <> * Johnathan reaches over and pushes the button. "If we get screwed over because we don't know something that Seth here should have told us.." Ťooc: I love Haylee's random hentai moments ;) ť You girls.. ..I swear I'm going to blow someone up. * Bree makes a sick look, turning a little blue "Thanks for sharing..." *pretends to gag herself* I believe in you John! ^_^ The button is depressed.. two of the four are set. << er five >> * Leon wiggles Seth a little, "Ready to talk yet, Slapnuts?" Your turn Haylee. * Johnathan looks at Haylee again, this time glaring a little. No..it's not. Who's turn is it? "...the wielder of the sword of starlight widens it..." * Seth thinks for a moment. that would be...... * Haylee catches John's glare and cringes a lot. No wait, my mistake... * Bree points at Scott "How many of us use swords?" or the power of the stars, for that matter. ...sorry...*stares at John meekly and turns away* Ťooc: Gawd ^^; ť Well I know it's not me. * Jack finishes the Rice Cake and gives off an ugly face "Blecch! They taste NOTHING like donuts...." And I don't think it's Scott. * Johnathan looks back towards the others. "And three and four are Haylee and Elrika.... who isn't here.." So it must be that goof Adam. * Bree pokes Jack "Didn't you pack some cookies from Celyna's?" But Scott does use Star Magic... And there is a sword of starlight...which is related to stars... Say...That's right!! *Looks in the backpack* [Xavier] *hops from the floor* Hey, I don't count? Stop belittling Scott, it makes perfect sense for it to be him.. * Scott steps forward. "This is all too confusing, but to find out the truth, we must press forward." Scott places his hand to the next button Of course you count Xavier ^^; * Scott channels his ken-ki and the power of the stars through his hand. Ťooc: Ken-ki and Barbie-san are a comin'! ť SCott doesn't need any power to depress it. The yellow one goes inward. :) LOL! * Haylee eyes Scott and begins to wonder... * Jack pulls out a bag of his his specialty-made Chocolate chip cookies. "Knew these would come in handy" ^_^ now....who's turn is it? Haylee-dono? There are a purple.. and a green remaining. * Haylee pushes the purple button. * Bree holds out her hands to Jack, smiling cutely "Can I have some?" Next is... Haylee.... Scott, huh... Haylee's button offers no resistance. So there's one more, Green..which is the elf girl...what's her name * Haylee steps back. "No fuss." Click. One left. :) * Jack gives a few cookies to Bree "Enjoy!" ^_^ that one would be Elrika....and she's not here.... "What's that last one say anyway?" *smiles at Jack* "Thanks!" *munches one* the bringer of life..... Considering what was said... welcome to the little group of destiny-screwed morons, Scott. [Xavier] Hey, maybe if I push it soemthign would happen? I'm the closest thing to her... * Jack pulls a cookie out of the bag and commences to eat it *Yum* * Leon laughs loudly, "I'm the taker of life, certainly not me." Hey Leon, here's your chance.. shove that rat into the last button! xaveir poings up onto Haylee's shoulder Oh I get to abuse the pet again? So is Scott one of the...? [Xavier] Hey.. Ź_Ź * Bree munches another cookie and nods "Sure! Probably more times to come too..." [Watch] how a pro handles this.. << Hehe >> * Jack reaches into his bag and pulls out a Pixie Stick. [Xavier] Watch how a pro handles this.. Where'd the Timex come from? Ťooc: I though it was a swatch to be honest. ^_- ť <> <> Xavier does a flip off of Haylee's shoudler, and smacks the last button! * Leon releases Seth from his grip, "You'd better not be fucking with me, boy. They haven't found bodies yet of people who've done it in the past." "Too bad you dont have some tea Jack, we're real close to having a tea party with all the goodies." *giggles* <> [Xavier] Nothing to it. The door opens, or I'm going through it. the doorway just.. vanishes. :O Hehe...I carry a lot of things with me! You may never know...^_^ * Haylee jumps a bit ^^; * Seth smiles Come on * Leon snickers, "The door was scared of me." * Seth walks into the door. * Johnathan frowns, watching the door vanish and looking a little uneasy. "Well, Scott, Haylee, there are three of us here, that's enough to make it official.. want to change our motto to 'Why me?'" [Ishtar] Leon.. ^^ <> * Scott nods and follows Seth. * Leon follows Seth closely, making sure Seth knows he's there. Good idea, John. * Bree hops up and dusts herself off "About time you guys cooperated." *walks through munching her last cookie* * Haylee wonders what's up with John today -_- He's nookie deprived You continue forward.. and up some very straightforward stairs.. *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info...

Wouldn't have been right.. so.. you're welcome, I guess." You see more pictures... the whole room seems to be in faded blue tiling. (Whew... that was close, they almost got me there.) * Leon loads his gun Someone here likes blue.. I prefer..black and red. You almost feel a chill. * Scott keeps his hand on his sword hilt as he eyes the pictures. It's supposed to be. "Blue's a nice color..." *looks around, rubbing her arms from the chill* Ťooc: I thought he said 'chili' and I thought "Eww! Momma's spicy bean dinner!" ť * Jack gives off a whistle of impression, and the whistling echos through the hallway...."Nice touch!" * Haylee shivers. * Leon slams the chamber to his gun shut <> YOu see a remarkably more landscape type of murual.. it's of rolling dunes of whiteish blue Wow, this was certainly worth keeping secret Seth. I have a feeling this is only the beginning, Leon. Was it the snazzy blue light, or the cool chill that kept you from informing us? Wonder why there's no fortune or past telling in here... There is a solitary building amidst the depicted tundras.. a spire of crystal.. This must be a depiction of.....the blue star. You see a girl and a young man sleeping. * Jack acts like William Shatner "...Too...much...for my.....mind....to take!" Hmm...I recognize the man.. IN the mural, or real? ^^; * Haylee takes a closer look at the girl and man. They are int wo gems.. The girl looks familar too.. if my history serves me right, Hiro left Lunar to go to be with Lucia on the Blue Star. Am I correct? I knew it. The girl has hair like the ice.. and the man, black. "Who's is the man?" *looks close at him* Dunno Scott. Hiro disappeared after defeating Zophar.. Black hair... But that looks just like him. We didn't just take a trip to the Blue star, did we...?? At least from the pictures I saw. Well, I read some of Lemina's writings. Her Journal was published in the history books of Vane after her death. Geez.. wish I knew more history. But, living poor tends to keep you out of school. That's just a mural, Jack... relax Someone hasn't taken their reality pill today He looks like the guy from my vision... ..Oh....Okay then....I blame the Storyteller for lack of explanation! [Ishtar] This is so.. amazing.. it's like a history book.. [Ishtar] But how could they know this would happen.. in advance..? There are some strange magics out there... maybe something like Haylee's visions...? the prophets are a strange group, Ishy. * Haylee sighs. * Leon punches his hand, grasping it, "No one had better have planned out my life..all the things that have happened to me..." I'm the master of my own destiny... I don't like the thought either.. In the icy dunes, you see a small glimmer.. It has the power to prophesied the future. But sometimes, certain actions can change the future. Sometimes for better... Sometimes for worse. "Who ever planned my life really needs more practice." *blinks at the glimmer* <> There's no such thing as fate.. but perhaps our choices can be foreseen... ...which I don't like. Having to kill my own parents most certainly was not for the better, dipshit. but something is rather eerie about this place, though....it seems the prophets knew all about us centuries ago. Up ahead is another doorway, like the last... it has five people and five buttons of various colors. Great..more frickin' buttons. -_- Not again. could it require the five again? It's a woman with wings once more.. but the form is different. * Bree shakes a fist at the door "I really hate those buttons.. now it'll take us forever, and arguing, just to get through it..." *sweatdrops* Lemme guess, she had breast implants? Alrighty. We'll be stuck here for awhile again....Who wants the rest of my cookies? There is more writing, almost some of the original gold left on the lettering.. hold on.... * Scott reads the writing. "We may want to save those cookies Jack. Who knows how long we'll be in here." *sighs* <> Ťooc: This..is..an eviction notice. 350 days late on their rent.. ť hahaha <> <> <> <> There is just no way that my life..could have been planned out...how could anyone have... "When the path is opened, the way to union must be forged by the seekers of emotion. Justice to ensure the peace, Passion to bring life, Dreams to creat a better world, and Purpose to acheive the goal. United in Self, they will acheive destiny." I dont think they planned it, just knew how it'd go. Ooh. This is a touch harder. ^^: Do they have the same colored buttons? ^^; << Now here's your numbers for tonight's lotto....>> Justice to ensure peace. Sounds like a cop.... Well magic 5, go for it. * Leon leans up against the wall Can we be sure its the same five? [Ishtar] This seems different though... If some prophet knew we'd be here... Yeah.. ..they probably knew we'd ALL be here. * Bree rubs her chin, thinking * Leon shrugs, "I just doubt I have anything to do with this whole thing." Passion to bring life....that sounds like a priestess. * Seth mutters about John's comment "You mean her..." That's it! After this I'm never calling those Psychic hotlines again. *Kicks a small stone* Jack sees there are no colros to the buttons.. rather they look more detailed. Dreams for a better world and Purpose to achieve the goal..... Now I really hate these buttons.. if it were the same I wouldn't mind so much. <> Ťooc: By god you do! ;) ť Gak, quick run to the bathroom.. too much soda ^^; <> If it were the same.. would there be a point to this all? Well, there's nothing here about a big ass helluva tough guy, so I'm not one of these. The first one in the ring shows a tall, muscular figure. The second a more feminine oone.. the other two are a slender man in a robe, and a heavy set bearded male. Boy someone needs to lose some weight. ^_^; The woman in the center's wings have a lot of gold shine to them. First: Leon. 2nd: Bree. 3rd: Oh hell..that looks like Tahn.....4th: Jack. Gah...Tahn you moron! Why aren't you here?! ;_; Why would I be there, I control my own destiny. The only thing keeping me here is a promise. [Ishtar] promises can be stronger than anything.. let's try it Leon.. :) baka yarou. Where in the hell can he have gone to. [Ishtar] I think that's me in the center there.. [Ishtar] But.. we need Tahn.. * Seth takes a few steps back from the party and looks up at the murals. * Leon sweatdrops, "I really don't like this idea..especially when slapnuts won't tell me what's going on. of course. The golden winged one would be Ishtar. This is all making sense now..... Well, I have Tahn's letter still... But not Tahn himself.. that could be close enough. After all, Xavier was able to act for Elrika. Screw Tahn, we can always break the door down. [Ishtar] Xavier pushed Elrika's button.. maybe it just needs his energy to react?

I knew I should have ripped Tahn's arm off That would have done the truck Ťooc: trick ť * Bree flails a bit "How do you figure I'm 3?" You also feel distinctly watched... <> <> << a 3? ;) >> that's just my best guess, Bree-chan. * Bree glances around, looking for the watcher "...dont think we're alone." [Ishtar] But it said Self last.. if that's me.. :( Well, since I'm the strongest one here...and obviously the only one who resembles this dude with the pecs..I guess I'll push this button. << How modest. ;) >> It could be Haylee... right? Haylee doesn't have pecs * Seth continues to study the mural. 0_o She has..nevermind...I'm not getting into this... Not your button stupid! The third one! I have a bad feeling about this.... Because she already pressed one. No one else is repeating ^^; So obviously its you, Tricky Feet. "It's still possible." *sweatdrops* * Bree raises an eyebrow "Tricky feet?" Tricky Feet. You're #3. <> Please...I feel something here...we have to hurry. * Scott taps Seth on the shoulder. "Hey, Sethius. What are you looking at?" Alright alright...I'll push the damn button. The feeling grows stronger.. it doesn't seem like ebfore.. * Seth ignores Scott we're not alone.... * Leon pulls up his gun and whirls around, "Someone's here." "If I set off a trap by pushing it.. it's not my fault..." *looking around worriedly* << Make a wrong move and you'll be sorry. :) >> Push the button and we can get through the door and leave them behind.. In order. Ishtar, Leon, Bree, Tahn's letter, and then Jack. Do it. Quickly. [Ishtar] Okay.. here goes then.. Ishtar eraches out to press the button. Thankfully it works without a hitch. :) Leon. ...this does not sit well with me. * Scott assumes his battoujutsu stance. "Just PRESS THE DAMN BUTTON!" * Bree breathes a sigh of releif "One down.. go Leon." * Leon gives Scott the finger, then uses it to press the button, "Go try to scare someone else." I'm trying to be prepared, should whatever's in here attack us, Leo...that's why I'm not facing you. Unorthadox.. but effective.. 2 down.

I don't know. But I'm Justice to bring peace. Cuz you're a very passionate person! ^_^ I guess that make sense... But I still don't like it. "Yeah.. but to bring life?" *raises an eyebrow* Tahn's letter doesn't seem to do antyhing at first, but then the picture of him slides in slowly... "Maybe you need both halves of his letter?" *looks a bit worried* [Ishtar] Dreams.. that must be you Jack. :D Ťooc: and eats him! :O ť Maybe that means you'll be bumpin' uglies with Button pusher #4 Uh??.. "You mean the stand in, or the real one?" *eyes Leon upset* * Leon laughs, "Does it make a difference?" A BIG difference! ^^; * Leon coughs, "I'm sorry, that was mean of me to say that." Bree. I think we need both halves of the letter. * Leon laughs again, "But talk about fitting!"

They all are down.. and sure enough, the door dissapates. * Leon sighs after the laugh, then looks at Johnathan, "This worries me." go through...NOW!! * Bree prays under her breath.. "In the name of Althena.. please open.." *blinks her eyes open* "Thank Althena!" <> You can't shake the feeling something's following you though.. * Scott goes right through the door. * Seth turns and walks down to the next room [Ishtar] Yes thank ehr.. :) * Jack follows. *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info...

"Gee I think I just said that.." *sweatdrops* * Leon surprisingly, doesn't react to it. Up another flight.. you soon come to a very open chamber. In the center lies a pattern of indecipherable runic markings on the floor. * Johnathan stares at the markings. "Lovely.." There is faint motes of energy hovering in the air... ...I can't read them...Gah..wonderful. nice touch.... Great.. we've graduated from wall puzzles to floor puzzles.. You don't need to Ooooooohhhh........ This is where all the spirit energy has been gathering. So we're at the last room? I hope. There is another small stairway elading upwards, past the floor... but you'd have to walk oevr the strange pattern. * Leon is very much silent Spirit energy? Not like the spirit I was possessed with, I hope. * Bree sighs "Guess we were wrong.. points out the staircase" oops * Bree sighs "Guess we were wrong.." *points out the staircase* (Why don't you just show yourself already...?) we'll have to cross the runic markings to get to the staircase. [Ishtar] Something's here.. or is it many things.. * Bree looks at tue runes "Maybe we have to stop on these like the buttons...?" * Haylee nods and begins to cross the runic markings, figuring someone's gotta do it, might as well be her. :p Great!

O_ox Huh..? * Bree sticks near the walls, looking like someone walking a ledge "If you guys would've waited...." It hovers there, a formless mass of light, illuminating the place with a soft glow. * Bree stares at the light "Oh great.. now how're we going to fight ghosts...?" Ooohhh....Aaaaahh....

So what's all this about the "Pillars of Humanity "I think we're more like janitors, cleaning up someone else's mess..." *grumbles a bit* [Light] She would be the one to gain the infinite knowledge... *Sounds like it hurt!* [Light] You were talked about by the Prophets as the one to discoevr this secret, and save this world once and for all...

[Lure] Nothing is set Leon.. haven't you elarned anything? :) O_ox Wow...you grew up a bit... * Bree watches the Lure, but speaks to Leon "They've been forseen.. not decided. Listen to the guy..." - the ^^; Sounds like fishing tackle that way * Leon shrugs, "Every time I do, something fucks it up." So, do we go to the Blue Spire? or to Serak to stop the church from getting to Ruby. [Lure] *smiles* Well, overcomign obstacles makes you all stronger... when you do them as a team.. as one. We need to find Emili first. Last time we saw Emili, she was in Horam. She could be anywhere by now. [Lure] You're right, Seth. I know why you've come here... * Seth nods * Bree grumbles a bit "They can't agree on anything as a group... not even button pushing." You really do know everything don't you? [Lure] *smirks* No I don't.. don't blindly follow me.. ^^ Hey... if you know everything, which one of those guys really did kill my father? Think you can find out where Emili is? [Lure] I only learn that which you elarn.. by making the mistakes you make. We've all made mistakes * Haylee nods... Unfortunately not everyone learns from them Goddess knows I've made mistakes on numerous occasions. * Leon snickers, "I can personally vouche for that too, Scott." [Lure] But if you don't falter, you can never become stronger.. [Lure] I can tell you where Emili is, but there's something mroe important right now. Yes, I'm trying not to keep myself calm. I really don't need Batgirl right now. What's that? ...and, what about my question? [Lure] Bree... if youw ant your true answer, you should ehad to raculi.. :) And that answers the question... Raculi's on the way to Serak. * Bree raises an eyebrow, questioningly "Head home?" Home? [Lure] Sometimes the answer is right where you started, afetr all... under your own nose. <> ..home... Ťooc: Cuz it's the half breed town/ :) ť ...I haven't had a home in 10 years. [Lure] *wiggles his for effect* ;) * Bree nods, in thought "Hai... I guess that does make sense. Someone's bound to know something there..." .oO(I wish I could see all the folks back home before we go into the final battle. Maybe then I can make good on that promise I made.) [Lure] You have to see Ruby as well, so it's your opportunity to settle things in a lot of ways... *looks pensive* What about Emili? Don't worry Bree. If the guy that killed your father is there, I'll bash his head in for you. I'm pretty sure it was either Ramen or Salami Leon.. just dont know which.. not sure if I can rest with out knowing. I doubt it was Ramon, if that makes you feel any better. [Lure] there's a lot mroe than that waiting for you all there. Simply because he never did...simply murders. He always had some little twist to them... Always trying to out do himself. * Bree nods to Lure "At least we'll have places to stay.. Haylee's house is bound to be better than mine." <> ... lol! It's sorta been abandoned for a few months... For instance, having a young teenager gun down his parents in exchange for freedom. [Lure] Don't underestimate kindness either. :) "Mine's probably abandonded too..." *looks down* "....no one to live there." Tell me one thing, Lure. Why was DarkStar so weak back in my hometown of Horam? But my real question is, is everyone back there safe while I'm off fighting? I don't even know if my old house is still standing...I bet it's not... [Lure] Yes, Horam's safe.. you've made a lot of people proud.. * Bree smiles a bit, raising her head "Good. The Bunny Dojo's safe then..." * Leon slaps himself, "I talk outloud too much." * Haylee winks at Leon. ^_- Explain something to me Lure. [Lure] laughs. I want to know.. * Scott turns around and takes the picture out of his pocket, looking at it for several minutes. .oO(I wish I could catch the next ship back, but just wait for me. I'll be back soon.) How did you know we woud all end up here like this.. ...how to shake my Bon Bon. [Lure] Simple... Ťooc: Lure: Because I'm played by the GM! ť lol! [Lure] The ancient know you'd come one day... I was there when youw ere born.. when you grew up.. and when you fight.. * Bree blinks at Lure, startled "You were around when we were born?" You were there when...I was captured but the Fang..?

Be QUIET please... ^^; [Lure] I can only watch till the final moment.. and you ahve to conquer your own inner demons to be ready.. [Lure] And no, you are not molded for this <> Then how did you know I'd end up the way I am now? [Lure] You all have your choices... I myself tell you the future isn't ordained completely. * Johnathan closes his eyes. "We are who we are.. I suppose that was foreseen too... but could they know if we didn't... Lure, what happens if we aren't ready, when the time comes?" Wish I could tell the future.. I'd play the Meribian Lottery and win, with that kinda info. ...We prolly get killed very messily, I'd father... Ťooc: er gather. ť Then we not only die, but so does everyone else on the face of the world. [Lure] *sighs* If you still doubt... <> ...I just don't want to know that I haven't been a pawn my whole life..sent to the slaughter..and all the pain and torture I've had over my lifetime..was planned from the start... [Lure] Then .. there may not be a place for you when everything as we know it comes to an end. for that end, I'll keep fighting. I won't let any innocents die from whatt the church is doing. We're not gonna die.. I'm definatly not going to die. The best theif in all of Lunar just isn't gonna fade out... No Lure. I don't doubt our power. Even when Mr. Meleodrama shuts up and fights, we are a powerful unit. [Lure] I could no fresee how you've turned out, but you've come this far.. :) << er foresee >> << er you'd even >> We won't die...and... * Haylee puts a hand on John's shoulder. "I won't let the people I care about most die either..." I can't die yet, I've got a promise to fulfill. ...and we'll be idolized for all time! I will not die, Lure. People are waiting for my return. * Bree does the pretend self-gagging again after Haylee's words So if any of you asses are planning on losing, drop out now, we'll get a new frickin' button on by the welcome mat or something for a winner. [Lure] Now that's the people I've come to admire. ^_^ * Bree folds her arms "I never give up! ...least not about fighting." * Haylee winks at Bree and whispers to her "Oh come on, at least it's not as melodramatic as Scott...and I meant it too! :/" Just so you know, Lure. I thank you for your help in calming the spirit back at the trial. When you spoke to my mind, I could see you in my mind's eye and the DarkStar started weakening, slightly. [Lure] Rememebr too.. it's not about fighting, it's about seeing what you yourself can do as a eprson.. ..what did you mean by.. as everything we know comes to an end.. is that what happens if we fail...? Or regardless? Excellent! Then you guys are set ^_^ Who cares about what happens if we don't win. Becaues we are going to win * Bree blushes a bit, semi-whispering "I know you meant it Haylee..." And you doubt that, get out now. ^^ Okay. we're going to win. I have a fiance to return to back home, and I'll be damned if I'm going to return to her in a pine box. [Lure] Johnathan.. one way or the other thigns are going to change.. There's a clothespin Scott. Go for it. I know we'll win. [Lure] I justw ant you to eb the oens to do it. * Johnathan nods slowly. "I see..." GAAH! Lure's speaking in tounges! [Lure] There are many who want to accomplish this same end.. for noble reasons, too.. Bah, I'm not scared of Zophar. Bring his ass on. Don't worry about a thing! We'll all get through this, right guys? ^_^ "Yeah.. we'll get through it. No worries!" *smiles big* I pity the fool who has to fight me. [Lure] Love.. acceptance.. ambition... you're not the only oens wishing for a betetr world. We all know he's just a effeminate fairy anyway ^^; as long as I weild this sword, Misogi, and have a group like you guys to fight alongside, I have no doubt that we will win....BRING THEM ON.... The part of Mr T is played by Leon.. * Leon coughs, "Don't throw around the "L" word, Lure." [Ishtar] Yes.. we can't fail now.. not with so much to look forward too. :) * Leon sweatdrops and places the clothespin on Scott's lips, "This is what the clothespin was for, goobersmoocher." * Bree sweatdrops "Goobersmoocher?" * Johnathan shakes his head, opening his eyes. "It's not going to be easy, we can be sure of that." [Lure] *smiles* I know all too well.. ^^ Goobersmootcher [Lure] Seth... Bree's ears are keen today * Scott loses the clothespin. "Oh hush, Leo. You know that through all the words, when a fight starts, I'm focused...so just let me be for a while. I have a lot on my mind." ..I am your father. Can't you just feel the love? It's so groovy, man! *Jack is wearing a tye-dye headband and giving a peace symbol* * Leon nods, "When I have a lot of my mind, I shut up. * Bree jaw drops at Jack "Where'd you pick that thing up?" Jack, I'm going to kill you. * Jack hides the headband "uh...heheh.." *^_^* [Lure] When you are done, go to the Salyan desert.. * Johnathan looks at Leon. "And as for my doubts and getting out..." let me guess...the Blue Spire, right? To rescue Tahn's stupid hide... [Lure] Not yet Scott... :) Tahn... So our travel plans are.. Raculi.. Salyan desert.. then the Blue Spire? [Lure] But, don't delay much.. you ahev two friends in a lot of danger. Two friends? Who? Emili and tahn. Emili and Tahn stupid Celyna isn't one of them is she? Raculi? (M) Hey, That's my destination! possibly 3, if you count Elrika at the forest of Illusion. "Oooh.. looks like Leon shows his love!" *grins as she taunts* [Lure] No, she's fine... is the unfeeling giant starting to care? :) Shaddup Bree! Hey! Lure said it too! * Leon sweatdrops "And I'm sure he can kick your butt..." *giggles* [Lure] ANyway, I can't waylay you here with small talk and fancy lightshows. ^^ No one can kick my butt. ^^; Heh. Thanks for helping us, Lure. but we've got a mission...ok, folks, back to the ship. * Bree walks behind Leon and kicks his butt "Yeah! thanks Lure!" *smiles cute and innocent* [Lure] Take the Epiphany to Raculi... but be careful of someone's plans. * Leon grabs the foot from behind and cassually lift Bree into the air Lookie what I found Thanks, Lure...for everything. "Someone among us?" *says casually, upside down in Leon's grasp* [Lure] No problem.. I thought you needed an explainantion now that you'd understand. ;) Why do I suddenly suspect Adam Dynastis? Alrighty! We know our destination! Let's go, shall we? He'll try to kill Ruby if we get him near her, no doubt. You're just now suspecting him? [Lure] Don't be so quick to judge.. but the Church is moving against you.. "Lets hope he didn't take off with the ship..." *folds her arms, still upside down* [Lure] I'll send you there in a flash if you want. You know Bree, when you're upside down, all the blood in your body rushes to your head. "I know.. I'll get giddy and really taunt you then." *grins up* That'd be very nice of you, Lure. :) * Leon snickers, "Well, if all the blood rushes to your head, you'll go unconcious." Hey Lure *Holds out a cookie* You want? Yeah.. if we have to go through the doors again, we'll take forever. [Lure] It's nothing.. just be careful.. * Bree sweatdrops "...ok, let me down or I take out your kneecaps." I didn't hear...the magic word. [Lure] *takes it* WHy thanks Jack.. :) I see being in Celyna's kitchen's shown you some new skills.. "Now?" *smiles cutely* Thanks! Enjoy! ^_^ * Leon looks up for a second, then back down at her, "Nope, I'm not Tahn." *** Ashton (flare_star@1Cust212.tnt1.rancho-cucamonga.ca.da.uu.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG [Lure] You're going to be enjoying what the future holds more than a cookie. ^^ *** Bree sets mode: +o Ashton Ťooc: Issa me, Ashton! :) ť * Bree smacks the back of Leon's legs with the crowbar "What's that supposed to mean?!" <> << Hiya ;) >> Ťooc: Hey. ť [Lure] Now.. you all ready? I certainly hope so, all-knowing poohbah *smiles* yeah. Ash: http://MoonMilk.Cyril.com/XMas99.jpg ^^ * Leon buckles at the knees and falls to the ground like a redwood tree, taking Bree with him as he rolls across the floor Ready enough, I suppose. ...owch Ishtar helps the two up, nodding to Lure I'll bet that hurt. * Bree flips around to land safely "Told you the magic word was now." *smiles and starts to stand* * Haylee looks at John for a moment. [Lure] Now? Sure thing! Happy landings! ;) * Leon snickers, "Well you know the right joints to hit..no matter how large or tough a man is...his knees are always weak." << Setting a course...for ROMANCE!!>> ...landings? We're not gonna fall I hope... . o O ( Something's wrong with him. -_- I gotta talk to him once we're in Raculi... ) Lure raises his hand and you all find yourself on the balcony. <> * Bree smiles cutely "I know all the vital points in a body... I gotta be quick to take out..." *blinks at the scenery change* "....anyone who stands in my way. If I wanna steal.." With a gust of wind, you are blown off and float down onto the deck of the Epiphany ;) Whoa! Cute, Lure.. I need to hurt that boy. Heeeyy..Nice! No oily residue, neither ^_^ * Bree flails around as she floats "Not exactly what I expected!" [Lure] *calling down* Tell Ruby the Green Dragon sent you.. *waves and disappears* If we fall into the water, we can use Bree as a floatation device. Green..? I thought Ruby was Red..hence the name * Jack waves at Lure "ENJOY THE COOKIE!!" "Hey, you're the air head Leon." *blinks* "I think he means he's the green dragon" Hmm. * Scott floats down to the deck of the Epiphony. Ishtar floats down gliding a bit.. [Ishtar] I think he meant he was the Green Dragon... I'm not an airhead. *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... ^^; Let's go, everyone. The sooner the better! *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 24: The Seekers of Truth | Location: VSS Epiphany | 3265 $P | Merry Christmas!! Read Sluggy!=-' * Bree sweatdrops "That's almost word for word what I said Ishtar..." But Ishtar is much smarter Everyone seems to be echoing you today, Bree. So we listen to her [Ishtar] Your'e right.. we must think alike.. watch out below. :) I'm driving! Next stop: Raculi! Chrissy! Get us started to Raculi! You all land onto the deck, as Adam has his sworn drawn. [Adam] What in Althena's name? :o <> << er sword >> Hmmph! You're just jealous because I'm saying the same things before they do, like John said.. which means I'm just as smart! * Scott assumes his battoujutsu stance right upon landing. Jealous ? Me? What do you have that I could possibly be jealous of? "Dont attack!" *waves her hands around* Ťooc: :D Ah, yes. Tahn's gonna miss yer flying sushi attacks ;) ť Good looks! And a brain!... a heart too. Adam sheathes it. "I though you were more of those monsters." "More monsters?" *blinks* Why would I want good looks... Monsters... no. Chrissy comes on board, and looks up. * Scott stands down. "What monsters?" I haven't...cared about those in...years. "It'd make you look better." *smiles innocently* you ok, Chris? [Chrissy] Oh hey, it's raining heroic-type people today. ;) Watch little girl, or I'll give you a salt water bath * Johnathan looks around. "Anyone else thinking we should have taken him with us? Lure probably could have explained things to him.." ^_^x I guess so. * Haylee sits down by the rail of the ship and waits for the ship to start up ^_^ Johnathan, Lure is with us right now "You're the one needing a bath, ya smelly oaf" *giggles* ...he's always with us smelly oaf! I am not smelly! [Adam] After you went inside, these guardians emerged and attacked the ship... Then let's get moving to Raculi...Adam, get us going. Full speed ahead. * Bree holds her gut and laughs, leaning against the railing [Adam] Are you giving me orders on my ship?! * Leon pokes Bree in the shoulder, nearly pushing her over, * Bree takes her spot at the front of the ship's deck "Home Jeeves!" are you forgetting who OUTRANKS you, Dynastis? * Bree flails and grabs for the railing "Gaah! dont do that!" Hee [Ishtar] *lands softly* Please don't fight.. ^^ Let's just go already.... :/ I want to see my home.. now just get us moving. I don't really feel like fighting ANYTHING today. * Leon eyes Adam and Scott, "Would you to please change your pads and let's get going?" Yeah! I wanna get home too! [Adam] Maybe if there was a vane left in the sky... *The horn suddenly blows and the ship starts moving. Jack is at the wheel* "We're headin' off!!" Not that I don't enjoy senseless violence, but there are other things to do. [Adam] ..oh forget it. I give up on you all. I'll be in my quarters. And really..I'd hate to have to beat both your asses. The ship starts pulling off the beach. Ah, finally. [Chrissy] What a grouch.. at elast an engine's easier to cheer up.. ^_^ "I think we just pulled a mutiny and took over the ship." *giggles and holds on to the front railings, to enjoy the wind once again* * Scott leans against the railing, wondering what all this means. Him being a pillar of humanity, this coming up fight, all that's happened in the past and all that will happen in the future. What does it all mean? * Leon walks by and nudges Bree slightly...almost pushing her over again Our next destination is Raculi, Enjoy your trip on the VSS Epiphany. I know I will! Ha!! Ťooc: Scott: It means I must stop thinking to myself! :O ť * Bree squashes into the railing "Cut that crap out! I dont wanna get wet!" Indeed, what does it all mean.. Lure said there were answers waiting in raculi, and that's where you are heading.. for a date with.. "Destiny". :) You deserve alot worse for calling me a smell oaf! ~~ SESSION END ~~ Oh, is Destiny cute? ^^ <> Session Close: Mon Dec 27 02:02:46 1999
