Session Start: Sun Apr 30 22:38:44 2000 * Logging #Lunar-IoG to '#lunar-iog.log' * Scott has great CD music from Xeno OST playing..so I'm ready to rock. ~~ SESSION START ~~ *** Criz is now known as Adam The last several evening hours have been very hectic for everyone, especially John... both of him. After seeing his condition, nurse Gwynn rushed him downstairs to a temporary kiosk she set up in some old gaurds' quarters. But no matter what she tried, even she was stumped just what was going on. «ooc: Gwynn: So does this mean that he has four breasts instead of two..Oh wait! Duh! ^_^ He's male. I can't believe I never noticed that. » << Well he does have four balls now though >> «ooc: Ooh. » oniter is not back yet << He doesn't even have to bat.. just goes straight to first. ;) >> << laugh ^^ >> «ooc: I'd tell emmi to get ooc, but she can't see me. » «ooc: No matter how disturbing this sounds...if John was homosexual he'd be having a field day now. ^^; » * Scott is still up on deck, looking out toward the Salyan desert landscape. << Um...do we RP >> << ummm no comment on that Haylee ^^; >> «ooc: John: I'll go out and have sex with myself! ^_^ » * Tahn wipes the sweat off his brow, crumples up a paper and adds it to his ever increasing stack. You all are assemble in the more or less, wondering what to do next... Haylee holding one of the John's hands. :/ << er the room >> * Haylee looks worried and miserable.. :/ You also notice Bree & Tahn aren't around. * Scott isn't...preferring to be alone with his thoughts for the time being. * Elrika looks at Haylee and the John she is with. How confusing... «ooc: Elirka: Can I have the ohter John? C'mon! You already have one! Share! » *** McGrue has quit IRC (Quit: The soul of a woman was created below...) «ooc: Is John awake? ^^: » All this because of that freak Zeio. [Gwynn] I don't know what this is.. both of them are perfectly healthy.. but.. this is crazy.. ;_; * Tahn sighs. "This is never going to work... I don't know enough about the art to perfect this..." Something happened when he was fighting Zeio... * Adam punches his fist into his open palmed hand. * Tahn stands up and walks to his door, opening it. ^^; I just don't know what... * Leon down below somewhere..hasn't done or said anything to anyone * Scott just stands at the rail of the ship, looking outward. That's obvious at least Haylee. I could probe his mind to find out.. :/ But I hate doing that...especially to someone I care about. * Elrika notices Leon walk away. As Tahn's cabin door swings, he sees a loosly sealed envelope tacked to it. * Tahn blinks "Eh? What's this?" So much has changed... * Tahn takes the envelope off the door, opens it, and reads it. ...I...see. «ooc: Tahn sees a dear john letter ;) » «ooc: The note reads, "Tahn, I want your nuts." - Bree » «ooc: Dear...John. oh my. » [Xavier] You don't know the half of it Elly. * Tahn sighs. "Heh...of all the people to copy me, I never would have thought it to be you." Oh well...I guess I understand... «ooc: Tahn: Bree copied me into putzdom! » << ok so are we just focusing on Tahn? or can we all RP? >> Tahn's eye is cuaght by something on the letter.. almost mocking him. * Scott just keeps on standing, and thinking to himself in the relative solitude of the ship's upper deck. << She left you her stool! >> «ooc: You do mean wooden stool, right Adam O_o » ...Heh. And she can never let it go, can she? ...It..heh. Well, at least she can draw. «ooc: lol, no he doesn't ;) » << I guess LOL If you want to think of it like that... >> «ooc: Well I know he doesn't but ;) » << You see...Leon knows me too well already LOL >> John... [Ishtar] John.. are you recoevring from the shock enough to talk some? :/ * Haylee brushes the hair out of his eyes and sighs, looking over her shoulder at the 'other' John, making sure he is okay. ^^; * Tahn sighs. "So that's what she meant last night when she said 'See you soon'..." * Tahn pockets the letter and envelope. Ishtar is by the 'other' John. Which do I sleep with first... hmm.. both! «ooc: ^^; LOl » «ooc: Two Johns..one me..I'm gonna be a happy camper tonight! » * Tahn walks down to the infirmary to check on John and...uh...John. [Chrissy] Althena almighty.. this is freaky. * Elrika walks up to the other John. " Hi...you feeling better? " << Back! Hey, you started without me again! :D >> Is she always that...happy? ... * Adam looks at Elrika. How are they, Hay, Adam? ^^; * Scott would rather just stay where he is right now. With his mind racing like it is, he really should just be alone to think. << That's ok, you're just in shock a little.. yeah! :) >> «ooc: You're unconscious, I think. So wake up, you putz ;) » * Leon suddenly appears on deck..looking the situation coldly I don't know...They're both...sleeping I guess... :/ Hey there Tahn. I'm just observing Elrika there...is she always this happy? << They are below decks in the converetd ready room, Leo. >> ...She's...bouncy, yes. In..uh, several ways. ^^: «ooc: That's okay ;) » * Adam laughs. «ooc: I'm still above deck » * Haylee smiles slightly. "Bad Tahn. ^^:" << Okay. :) >> Trust me, I've seen the "other" bouncy. <> * Adam laughs. Leon sees Jack snoring at the wheel. ^^ Anyways...goddess almighty, John screwed himself up this time... * Johnathan blinks a few times. <> << Yaya! :D >> * Haylee squeezes John's hand as he awakens. "Hey stud...how are you feeling?" * Scott is standing at the bow of the ship...obvlivious to Leon's presence. * Leon ignores Jack completely and walks over to a railing of the boat..the heels of his boots clunking with each step <> «ooc: Uh...we already had one, I think ^^; » <> * Johnathan looks around and sighs. John? * Elrika walks next to Ishtar. << agh I mean Adam >> John, why the hell did you do that? ^^; Well, other than to save us...why'd you have to go to such extremes though? ^^; ..hmph.. You're lucky you came out as well as you...two...did. ^^; * Elrika stares at Leon. Leon and Scott notice some small depressions in the sand near the prow of the ship. They seem to lead off to the south, but it's hard to see in the darkening light. I was hoping it had been a dream.. but I see it wasn't.. * Leon walks over to Jack.. * Johnathan looks over morosely at his still-asleep counterpart * Elrika follows Leon. * Scott is pulled out of his trancelike state at the sound of Leon's voice. "Something bothering you, Leon?" I'm just glad you're alive...I was so scared... -_- <> ..where ar we going. «ooc: are » Mister Leon...*taps Leon on his shoulder* [Jack] Sure Leo, I'll add that too! *mumbl* Alive.. «ooc: John killed Zeio but he split himself into two ^^; » This group has been through it all almost Tahn. <> that I don't know, Leon. I wish I did. This whole situation has me lost as a blind goose in a hailstorm. ...Jack. Such as it is.. yes, I'm alive... «ooc: John killed zeio. ^^; » * Elrika taps Leon once more. «ooc: But he got split in two by his reality spell ^^ » Adam... this takes the cake. John's basically, well... <> * Leon looks back at Elrika, "What?" John's basically dead, Tahn. Exactly, John. <> Huh? ^^; What do you mean you're dead? I'm all that's left.. well.. me.. and.. * Johnathan gestures at his counterpart. "..and myself." <> Haylee, the polar opposite of nothingness is existence. In other words, when a pure wish is made by existence to call forth oblivion, it must itself return to oblivion. I suppose that's to maintain balance... This is only temoprary! I'm sure we'll find a way to put you back together... «ooc: I'm not Johnathan..my name is Mr. PoopiePants..and that over there is Captain Obvious » <<*Beats Tahn for copying Xellos' line>> * Elrika smiles at Leon. " What's wrong mister Leon? You used to make me laugh all the time when you would throw Tahn into the water. Why aren't you like that no more? " «ooc: Heh. ;) Glad someone noticed. ;) » Not a bad guess, Tahn.. «ooc: Captian Obvious! He's no hero! He doesn't realize he's a zero! » Near as I can tell.. [Jack] *blinks and snorts* Whozzzahuh? <> << Nope, but we're close.. stick around! :) >> *** Heather is now known as SoFoamy <> *** SoFoamy is now known as Heather «ooc: LOL! » Creation can't happen without destruction. So when he created that little dimension... ...because. I just don't. I've learned that emotions aren't the way to base my life anymore. So John...you're saying you're dead? He destroyed himself, basically. ..right. No...It's not true... <> * Scott turns back to the bow of the ship, and to his thoughts. << John talking abotu himself in thrid person... >> ...Who's to say what's here and what's not? ^^; Emotions? You mean like LOVE! *hugs herself* hatred! *punches the air* and sadness...*looks at Leon* «ooc: John is..Bob Dole? » <> Well you are quite a lively dead person John. «ooc: Tiny! :D » It's...This is just a joke, right John? Haha...Funny funny? Haylee... I... ^^; I think you're going to need some time to yourself, so I think I'll go... * Leon nods to Elrika, "Yes. Emotions have been my weakness." * Johnathan shakes his head, sighing again. * Tahn slowly backs out of the infirmary. :\ No... It's so strange.. [Jack] Did I sleep through the first half of the movie again? You were so full of them though mister Leon. You had a lot of bad stuff inside cramped up. Xavier told me you changed though...that you were nicer. <> * Johnathan` yawns and slowly sits up, waking up as well. Ishtar helps the other Johnathan up from his bed. «ooc: No Jack, you slept through the whole movie. Now go sleep some more while the rest of us are learning. Jack: Oh boy! Sleep! That's where I'm a viking! » But now that you brought me back to everyone, you're...dead. You don't have to call me Mister. Out of all the people in this world who deserve titles of respect, I am the farthest from it. * Haylee looks like she's going to burst into tears at any moment. * Tahn sits outside the door to the infirmary, reading the note again. He can't be dead... I mean he's... just two people now. * Scott pulls a slip of paper out of his sleeve pocket and begins to read it, a small smile coming to his face. He then looks back out over the bow of the ship. I'm sorry, Haylee. Emili.. who's dead? * Johnathan` looks around, seeming a little puzzled. No one is dead.... you're just half of one person. And the other, is just the other half. Um...he says you are... *Points to the other half, tears spilling down her face* So all we got to do, is find out how to put you together again. ..... I lived so long for hatred...and when I reached that peak...I didn't know what to do with myself... ...Well, it may be a bit more complicated than that. ..now I just live. [Ishtar] How can a person be split...? * Johnathan` blinks. "I'm not dead. Neither's he. We're just.. us." Ok Mr. Leon...I mean Leon *smiles* I may not have been around the world as much as the rest, abd have experienced all this bad stuff and big booms. But, if you ask me...right onw you are showing emotions. It's called..lonliness *looks at Leon* I'm here though and so is Xavier! *smiles once more not as if she ever STOPPED smiling and hugs Leons HUGE arm* Ok Mr. Leon? You...aren't? * Johnathan glances at himself. "I meant John, not you, or me." This is all still too confusing for me. I think I need a drink... << maybe if I gave them letetrs or numbers. ^^ >> No.. he's not dead. He's just.. gone. * Leon blinks, "I..don't really know what to say." << Stick some colored tape on each one. Red and blue Johns? ;) >> Smile! That's enough for me. Can I get him back? <> << which John was I talking with? >> I can't see how... <> * Johnathan` shakes his head. "Probably not." ... «ooc: I want it more than the punching Ghaleon, actually. ;) » Unless.. You see a stack of two books off to the side of where both John's are. They seem a lot like the oens you cuaght him reading now and again, yet they contrast with one another in the color of the bindings. «ooc: You make sweet love to me?! :D *Slap!* Fresh! » ...Smile...maybe sometime in the future..if I decide to feel emotions again... Unless? ..Sure, but how could they? Well.. we can't, but maybe.. something can? [Gwynn] John.. er.. John..? *looks exastperated* You also had these when we found you * Haylee stands up. "Don't worry...I'll find it." Even if someone did, it wouldn't be exactly.. For someone sooo smart with such a small head*giggles* You still can't see you're showing emomtions can you? In time you will see. No one can live without showing or recieving emotions. <> It'd be close... I.. what? What's that, Gwynn? ..that could very well be true. <> Because it is! *giggles and hugs Leon's arm again* [Gwynn] It's some strange books... ^^ «ooc: Don't need Escaflowne on the air - I've already got the full series. CCS is too kawaii for my tastes, and Kenshin I can get from Scott. » <> <> ..now...where are we going? Strange books? I don't know Leon...does anyone on this damn ship know? [Jack] I dunno, Leo... all thsi waiting is making me tired. ^^ ...you are steering the boat Jack I...I need some air... ...where are you steering it * Elrika looks around on the upper deck. " This place needs some life to it! " [Gwynn] Are they yours? Haylee... * Haylee walks outside...suddenly bursting into tears, unable to keep it in anymore. * Scott is just alone again in his thoughts..not paying attention to Elrika and Leon. ...Haylee? [Jack] I've just got it idling... listening to the motor. ^^ * Tahn pockets the note again and stands up. "Haylee...Are you..are you gonna be okay?" Everyone seems so down, maybe I know how to make everyone happy again! *smiles* «ooc: Damn...First Amelia....now Haylee. My RPG romance has sucked ^_- » ...John's dead... ... GWynn picks them up, and walks oevr to everyone. Yes.. they are. John's not _dead_. John's simply not John any more. -_-; Bree's is decidedly worse than Haylee's ^^; Where are we going? [Gwynn] Look, one's black, and the other white. Wonder if it means something? But there's two of them...right there in front of me. It doesn't feel the same anymore... ... Haylee... «ooc: Like Leon's gonna get any poontang ;). of course I didn't make him for getting poontang » Just... * Scott sends his thoughts to Haylee. ~if you need a shoulder to cry on, look to the bow of the ship.~ «ooc: Tahn: Cling tenaciously to my buttocks! :D » Goddess, I wish I knew how to help you. -_- * Elrika kneels on the ground as she clenches her fist and opens it, revealing a glowing small orb. She blows at it as shiny dust covers the whole upper deck. Leon and Scott starts feeling the deck get all soft underfoot. «ooc: LOL! Powdered Toast Tahn!! :O » * Johnathan watches Haylee leavem then sighs again and looks over to Gwynn. "Black and white.." I...I wouldn't mind a hug from one of my best friends. *Sniffle* ...? ..what in the.. Grass and flowers start blooming out of magical dirt that spring up, covering the prow. * Scott ignores it, staying lost in thought. * Elrika stand sup as she notices the ground to begin to grow grass, flower begins to pop up out of nowhere as behind her a baby tree sprouts. In time the upper deck becomes, Elrika's own garden. [Jack] Who turned the Destiny into a Chia Pet.. o_o «ooc: LOL! » There that's better. Good and evil, creation and destruction, light and dark.. or maybe just the colors the bookmakers decided on. This should make everyone happy! * Johnathan` smiles sadly. * Emili looks at the grass ~haylee, if you need to talk to someone, I am here for you, like always. All you have to do is find me.~ * Tahn hugs Haylee. "I...I don't really have the same feelings I did a month ago, but I'm still willing to help you cope with some of this..." «ooc: Should I make all the plants around Leon wither and die? lol..that would be so mean » «ooc: If you come here. I'll find you. I promise. "Oh squ...Scott!" » Each John feels an attraction to one of the books.. like it's calling to him to opening it. << er open >> * Adam notices he is standing on grass. " Oh goddess..." ...it certainly smells better Thank you, Tahn...Just be my friend. It's all I ask right now.. -_- ...That Hey umm... «ooc: EVIL » ...That's all we can expect to have at a time like this... :\ *Xavier begins to run around* I don't think having a boat of grass will help us very much. Yeah... * Tahn sighs and thinks back to the note... Do you think...I can bring the old John back...? You all still se no sign of Bree... Even most of the old John? [Xavier] Wowy...this place looks so much like the garden back at home. *poings* * Leon lays down and leans his head up against the railing of the boat ...I'm sure that if there's a way...you can find it, Hay... And you just realized that Emili? * Emili looks out across the deck "Maybe its just my imagination, but I think those guys way way over there are... laughing at us. * Adam laughs. Gwynn.. could I have that book..? * Johnathan points at the one. * Haylee grins. "I hope so...He helped me before...It's my turn to help him..." And I the other..? ..y..yeah. * Tahn sighs again. * Scott is just at the bow of the ship..not laughing at anyone...seemingly lost in his own thoughts. You don't sound so sure... [Jack] Might as well go somewhere.. Jack starts up the drive, a belc of steaming coming out... with a start you slide into the inland ocean north of the desert. *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... I've just got a little bit on my mind, Haylee... ...and no one takes notice... oh? ...Hey, where's Bree? .... *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 38: Split Decisions | Location: Salyan Desert, Caraveti Basin | 3717 $P =-' * Tahn bites his lip. <> ...Uh Oh. What's wrong...? Can we talk about it? ^^; [Gwynn] Sure John.. ^^ ...I...I'd rather not betray someone's trust... ...I understand... :/ Everybody needs their privacy after all. Gwynn hands off the books to each of them. From their standpoints, they can make out some faint writing in silver. "The Treatise of Truth." Right. I killed her and hacked her into tiny peices, and stuffed her in a heating vent in my room. «ooc: Eww.. » * Johnathan accepts the one book. "Thanks." * Johnathan` takes the other. "Thanks." * Leon relaxes slightly..pulls his hat over his eyes «ooc: That's why I have a craving for steak all of a sudden? » * Adam stands on the deck and just views where they are heading. * Haylee looks miserable still. * Tahn looks slightly miserable also. :\ <> Tahn...I swear. We should go to a bar...and get drunk or something and be irresponsible. * Scott then looks to the west, obviously thinking of somewhere a long ways from here. But we can't do that. Dammit. ... You can see the beaches of the medium sized sea in the night, in the distance are several structures to the east. Well...I see land. * Tahn lets go of Haylee, and sits against the wall again. OooOOO *runs up to Adam* Where? * Adam sweatdrops. Over there. *points* Northeast of your position, Adam sees a strangely lit up tower... he recognizes it instantly. * Haylee looks out over the ocean, by herself. Well Well... * Johnathan opens the book and starts looking at the contents. Oooo that's pretty... Haylee... Yeah...? Should be, that's Virtue's Citadel. Just...don't give up. That's all I can say. Otherwise you'll never have a chance. * Scott 's gaze is still fixed westward, but he decides to walk over to Haylee. "A silver for your thoughts, Haylee-dono?" ...I don't plan on it. ... Guys, we're heading for the Queen's citadel. Are we all aware of this? Can we go inside and explore??? «ooc: Haylee's below deck, or so I thought. » «ooc: She's outside ^^; » Johnathan and Johnathan` find a preface, saying how each book they hold is one of three. Um..not now Elrika. Otherwise, we might die to be blunt. «ooc: But she's where Tahn is. » «ooc: Ah. So they walked out together, I'd assume. ^_- » [Jack] No way I'm going there... «ooc: er, wait. » «ooc: n/m. » «ooc: Gotcha. » * Haylee sighs. One of three.. does yours say...? «ooc: *is wierded* » [Xavier] Elrika...remember, we are being HUNTED. In short, they want us dead. HELLLOO! ...this is one place I haven't been..which towns are near by.. Yes.. it does. Looks like we have an uncomplete set Jack hauls out a map. «ooc: And we're missing our punctuation » «ooc: Yeah, and are grammer too. ;P » * Scott taps Haylee on the shoulder, giving her a concerned look. "Are you ok?" She's got a bit on her mind, Tahn... The two dopplers strangely can't read the rest of the book.. it seems blank other than a short sentance on the first page. This whole John ordeal hasn't been kind on her. << They only have the normal amount of punctuation between the two of them! ;) >> «ooc: Er. Tahn = scott » «ooc: I assume second tahn is sco...yeah :p » ... Johnathan sees "Doubt darkens that which has past..." Hmm... Johnathan' sees "Hope lights the future ahead..." * Adam walks up to Leon. Blank.. figures. This doesn't make sense. * Leon hasn't moved from his relaxed position on deck «ooc: When surroudned by darkness, hope springs eternal> » I know, Tahn. This whole situation is confusing to us all, and very taxing. *turns to Hay* if you need a shoulder to cry on, or just someone to listen, I'm always here. haha.. Tahn's talking to himself ^^; «ooc: Springs from our loins, it does! » [Johnathan:#Lunar-IoG PING] How powerful is Elrika? She seems to be full of happiness inside, but as well as having power beyond imagination with that happiness. [Jack] Well, if we wanna go sightseeing the Great Library and Blue Spire are around! ...Thanks Scott. Other things have come up too, but that's not my place to talk about. :\ Jack points. Well if it was up to me, I would say the Blue Spire... ...why are you asking me..do I look like an elf expert to you Library? *jumps up* Lets go there! Has to be soooo many books to read up on! Well, my mind obviously isn't here right now..I'll just go back to where I was. «ooc: Is Jack where Haylee is? ^^: » * Elrika shakes Jack. " Can we go pleasee??? " * Scott returns to the bow of the ship....and his own thoughts. ...Blue Spire, Jack. We are GOING to the Blue Spire. -_-; [Ishtar] What does it say? «ooc: Whoooo! I'm on top of the world! » Actually Leon, you look like an expert of pushing people away, but your big dope ass already knows that...no offense. *walks away* * Johnathan` closes his book, putting it in his pack. "I'm going to go get some air." «ooc: I'll never let go, Scott! » <<* kills Tahn for the Titanic reference.>> * Johnathan does likewise, standing up and following himself to the deck. << lol.. this is a riot. ^^ >> «ooc: I still got it ;) » * Haylee doesn't notice the two John's coming on deck. :( Ishtar and Chrissy shrug, and go up top as well. * Leon snickers lightly under his hat (q) Bree... «ooc: Haylee I wallow in self pity! Cuz I suck! ;_; » * Elrika runs up to Ishtar. [Gwynn] I'm always left alone down ehre.. *sobs quietly* ^^ Looooooky at what I did to this place! * Tahn pulls the note out of his pocket and looks at it again. *float around Tahn sticking their tongues out at him* * Scott is back to his lost in thought, pseudo-trance. ...who said you were gonna be alone..I never said I was going anywhere. * Johnathan` looks around, and actually smiles. "Nice, Elrika." Thanks *smiles* << lol Bree-chan >> I can do more if you guys want. Ihstra blinks o_o (q) It's almost like she's taunting me. Daring me to follow after. << er Ishtar >> «ooc: Ihstra! A new character! :O » «ooc: A winner is you? » [Ishtar] Goddess.. how did you do all this so quickly? Ihstra, Isthar's EVIL twin! Please, don't give her anymore reason to do more. «ooc: Ihstra? Someone else for Tahn to hit on and get dumped by :o » Just like this... Oh dear heavens.. you've made the destiny into a plant's pot. Jack looks up from the map at the two Johns. «ooc: ;P » ..there's nothing wrong with her flowers. * Elrika creats another small orb as she throws it behind Johnathon and a small tree sproutsout and bends in a way, as if can be used as a chair. [Jack] I guess I still need glasses... ^^ Here...sit. *giggles* They're growing out of the deck of a ship, Leon. It's not natural. ..so what * Johnathan` chuckles, looking at his counterpart. "Hypocrite." [Chrissy] Man.. today is so friggin WIERD! ^^ Why'd you have to go and do this to me? ...Was it just to make me know how you felt? -_-; Shut up, me. * Scott reads the note in his sleeve pocket again, then looks to the west. His eyes show an expression not shown before by the swordmaster. * Johnathan rolls his eyes and sits down on the tree. «ooc: LOL! John! Stop hitting yourself ;) » Well that was an added perk of my plan ^^; [Jack] How abotu we go to the Library? I bet I could find a book on Leo's life.. «ooc: John is playing with himself » Beating yourself up isn't the way ;_; Library, Jack? Yes please can we go!!! *** Tahn has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) ..why would anyone want to read about my life... Oh god, you had to mention that damn place... *** Tahn (flare_star@1Cust151.tnt1.rancho-cucamonga.ca.da.uu.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Tahn He means Leo.. remember, the tomb..? ..oh ..sorry «ooc: What'd I miss? » But what library are you talking about, Jack? The GREAT one. * Haylee pulls off her Jade Eye Gorget, looking at it as if it held answers. Sounds like it's a big one. Great library? [Ishtar] It's the Great Library.. it was founded by an archaleogist named GWynn.. not the one below decks.. ^^ * Johnathan looks at himself. "You don't think..?" I've heard of it. [Ishtar] He wanted to make a place to collect all his studies about Lunar's past from the old Ruins.. and it just grew from there into a scholar's haven. ..We should go there. * Scott walks down below decks to get away from the crowd, he walks right into the pseudo-infirmary, where he just lies down on one of the cots to catch some shut eye and maybe get all these thoughts from bogging hs mind down. <> << does it have info on the Black Dragon Criz..heh :P >> I'd much prefer to go to the Blue Spire, folks... * Tahn sounds somewhat distant. You're not the only one Tahn. [Gwynn] *1 I don't care... << er gah :( >> ...I'd prefer just to get off and leave you people behind. «ooc: ! Gwynn! Don't say such obscene things! » The Blue Spire? Do that if you want, Leon. I don't care... Noooooooo! [Gwynn] Scott? Are you ill? ^^ ..fine then We are going to go the the library, maybe we can find some answers also about the twins. I mean the two John's. <> No, Nurse Gwynn...not unless you count being sick of the fighting and killing all the time. << Emmy? >> <> * Johnathan` shrugs. "That's fine with me, just.. .drop us off, we'll go by myself if it'll save time." * Leon stands up [Gwynn] *frowns* :( Stop that! I just need to rest and let my mind settle for a while, taht's all. What? Finishing my sentences! ...said I'd only stay after Zeio was dead anyway * Haylee curls up into a sitting position on the deck, her knees curled up to her chest. I will if you stop starting mine! You're.. ah.. hehe.. * Johnathan looks at everyone and coughs. "Sorry." «ooc: Are we on land? » Jack shrugs, and turns the Destiny eastward.. :) << so I guess Elrika is the strongest Mage now huh =) >> << or is Tahn >> * TheStoryteller goes http://www.rpgcafe.net/IoG/Music/Dragonship1.rm to listen So where are we going? * Johnathan` glares at himself, rolls his eyes, and walks over towards Haylee. «ooc: Tahn, baybee! ;) Elrika's strongest offensively, Tahn defensively. » «ooc: El's a combat mage, Tahn's mostly assist. » ...I'm just going. * Haylee looks up silently at John.. The library, I hope. The sooner the better. It might just have the answers to something. [Jack] Why not the library? The Spire's not going anywhere. ^^ * Scott just stays on the cot, as he pulls both his picture and the letter out of his sleeve pocket again, looking at both. ... [Ishtar] Guys... where is Bree... is she below? Neither's the library... Yay! ...Ishtar... Bree? * Johnathan` looks down at her. "Haylee.. are you all right?" -_- Please...let's..not mention her...okay? * Tahn sighs. I don't know...but I bet she's going to love the library. I'm...just...confused. :/ I don't know what to believe anymore. ... [Chrissy] Oh, I guess Tahn chased his girlfriend off. ;) Bree would steal the books ^^; Girlfriend? Um...never mind. * Leon stands on the deck, awaiting for the ship to stop Chrissy pokes Tahn's side with a wrench. * Tahn pockets the note, stands up, and grabs Chrissy by the scruff of her shirt. "I was always raised not to hit women, but would you like me to make an exception?" << At the library, or the ones John has? ;) >> Chrissy acks! ^^ «ooc: ...Yes. » * Elrika extends her arm outward towards Tahn. I'm sorry, Haylee.. he.. I.. just didn't know what else to do.. * Elrika makes vines grow from the ground and wrap them around his arm. [Chrissy] Hey, don't hit me! A mind is a terrible thing to waste! ^^ It's not nice to hit girls. ... * Tahn slices through the vines fairly easily. "Just...lay off. Okay?" It's...okay...I'll be okay in time... I'm tough...:) * Tahn puts Chrissy down and goes back to moping on the ground. [Chrissy] Well sorry... :/ ... But this is only temporary anyway! I'll get you back together! * Johnathan` smiles. "I know you are... it's part of what he admired about you." It depends on...if they WANT to be brought back together Hay. They are their own person now. The ship moves through the night... it isn't befor elong you reach a small bay. They both have different ideas and thoughts of what they want. Oh hopefully they will. ^_- They don't want to see me mad. Adam, you have NO idea what you're talking baout I know. «ooc: Baout! :O » * Scott pockets his items once more and looks at Gwynn. "Have you ever gotten tired of travelling all over, and just want to stay in one place for an extended period of time?" «ooc: BRB » * Leon folds his arms «ooc: What are you talking abooot! BTW, Baha wants to state that canadians do NOT say aboot. » Do you know what it feels like to actually be a person.. and then.. you're not? You're some.. thing. A fragment, a memory..? [Gwynn] Well, I like staying with people who are injured.. it's my calling from the Goddess! Yes I do... Do you know how it feels to have fake memories? Adam.. No...don't * Adam walks away. [Gwynn] But maybe I'll get tired one day.... being a Medic sends me all over. Don't do it. «ooc: back » But.. but.. He'd wipe the deck with you. Don't even think it. * Johnathan grumbles to himself. Why is everyone so..mean and down. There is always an upside to everthing, no matter what the problem is. ... Look...you may not believe me now. But I'll get 'John' back. << brb a second >> I believe you =) * Elrika hugs Haylee. * Haylee hugs Elrika. "Hey..Thanks. ^^" I think what I'm suffering from is just burnout, Gwynn. Been all over the world 2 or 3 times already on Guard assignments, but my mind and a piece of my heart is elsewhere. * Johnathan` chuckles. "Haylee.. I hope so." ^_^ Right! Just believe in me. * Haylee perks up, feeling a bit better. ^_^ * Johnathan sighs. "Even if you did find a way to stick us back together, it wouldn't be 'John'.." *** Heather (Eternal@stj121.nf.sympatico.ca) has left #Lunar-IoG (You're a little late, I'm already torn...) «ooc: In a test tube. » * Adam stands away from Haylee and the others as he just stares dead at both John's. <<* Kills Tahn again.>> At least they know the little memories they remember are theirs...not ones that were made up. [Gwynn] I don't think I ahve medication for that. :/ Even 90% of the old John is all right, so long as I have most of John back...but 100%...I'm aiming for that! ^_^ There is none, Gwynn. ..when are we stopping this tub... *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 38: Split Decisions | Location: Salyan Desert, Near the Great Library | 3717 $P =-' «ooc: brb. » Did they mind-wipe you when I wasn't looking or something, Adam? What do you mean? Don't listen to him, Haylee. He's just taking this badly... I'm sure it can be done.. still.. it's a long way down.. You keep talking about fake memories. The bay approaches.. as you pull into it, you see the Library. Standing firm with it's Roman architecture at the desert's edge amidst a glade of green, it's a welcome sight. ... << Lag sucks. >> * Tahn sighs. (q) "After we beat Virtue. If she's not back by then, I'll look." Memories...they were given to me. Given to you? * Tahn stands up. Given...made up...put in my head. You feel a gust of wind blow across the deck, the scent of roses being spread.. I hope so, John...er...Should I call one of you JohnA or JohnB? O_o * Scott walks back up on deck, not looking any better, mentally, but still there. Recently? * Johnathan looks puzzled. No...always. Little by little everything comes to me. * Johnathan` winces a little. "Please don't, Haylee." [Jack] All stop! Library ahoy! :) We can see that, Jack. Ever since my mother died. It's as if, she was putting happy thoughts in my head always. ^^; Okay, then I won't. But don't blame me if things get confusing! But now that she's dead, her fake memories left with her. «ooc: Ahh...whoa. I love this fan O_o *Coool!* And it smells good! » [Jack] But I like saying it anyway... I'm trying to sound more like Leo at the helm! * Johnathan` smiles. "I'm already confused." I.. see. I mean moreso ^^; ...so you all are going in there. [Chrissy] I think I'll sit this one out thanks.. I'm just way wierded out. I may, I may not, Leon. In a sense I do know what you are going through Johnathon. I don't know yet.... It may be different, but I know. * Adam puts his hand on John's shoulder. Look on the bright side, Haylee. [Ishtar] Should I stay and watch things here? «ooc: I know... I want you. » the way I feel, I just don't know. ...Up to you. Bright side? ^^; * Elrika listens to Johnathon and Haylee talk. ..do what you all want..I'm going anyway.. Something similar.. but I'd trade you positions in a heartbeat, Adam... well.. no I wouldn't. I don't wish this on you.. heh «ooc: Johnathon? Haylee's sponsoring money to make John whole again! » Sure.. years from now, you'll have some crazy stories to tell your children, huh? Hey, then we really get to see both my mothers side and fathers side huh? * Adam laughs. «ooc: Just dail 1800-fx-me-up! :D » * Leon walks off the ship...looking around * Haylee laughs. "Well..." Hey! Wait for me! . o O ( Maybe you can tell them too... ) * Elrika runs after Leon as Xavier follows behind. «ooc: fix-me-up. There's always 7 letters » «ooc: Doh! » Jack garbs Barbarella and shuts the main valves. The Destiny's thunderous sound dulls to a soft hum. «ooc: er numbers » * Scott stands at the rail of the ship, wondering which direction to go in...into the library, north to the spire, or just make a bee line to the west. * Johnathan chuckles. "Something like that.. oh well.. I'm better of than Zeio is.. the idiot." *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... What exactly HAPPENED in there, John? ^^; Well if it wasn't for you, we would be all dead. * Leon looks back at Elrika, "Oh...I suppose you want me to take you into the library?" * Tahn holds out a silver and sighs. "When all else fails, let fate choose your path." The Library has a small garden of shrubberies in front, and two fires burning opposite the door in the distance. * Johnathan` grins. "It was.. a rush, Haylee" * Tahn flips the coin 10 feet into the air...and watches as it lands towards the Library. Eh, que cera cera... :\ * Tahn goes off towards the library. I owe you my life Johnathon. If ever you need something, you ask me. *puts hand on his chest* That is a promise from a Virtue knight..well former. Oh well. The wind blows... maybe it affected the coin. Ohhh it all looks so...nice. * Scott follows the rest of the party, not really feeling like researching anything, though. ^_- John. Doing mass amounts of caffiene is not okay. Ishtar waves... Just wish there'd been a better way, Adam. But thanks... I appreciate it. «ooc: But it's a-okay for the person who plays haylee :D » [Ishtar] I think I'll keep Gwynn company.. she's lookign really down after all this. Please be careful! *mumbles*...I wonder why I'm staying with this group.. (q) ...Kaze no unmei... But it can use some more flowers though. It went way beyond that, Haylee.. it was.. I can't describe it.. EVERYTHING there was me... well, except Zeio. * Elrika waves her hand over the shruberries, as flowers start to sprout everywhere. So...you made your own demension out of yourself? O_o That's better. Yeah, pretty much. ... * Elrika goes up to the door. «ooc: I'm Elrika the shrubber! I make shurbberies! » * Elrika knocks. Sort of How...odd. O_o You should have made a demension that was a beach or something. Would have been easier on yourself ^_^ * Elrika knocks again. ..it's more complicated than that, but.. Zeio was mostly helpless there.. he fought, he died.. but John couldn't hold it together. .... So he split apart... << Hmm.. I'd like to have Emili for this, but.. :/ >> Yep. So I don't see why I can't put you fully or mostly back together again! <> Helllo anyone in there? * Elrika knocks once more. How, though? The large wooden doors shake several tiems from Elrika's knock, before you hear the sound of a bolt being drawn off. * Leon stands behind Elrika, still confused on how he got railroaded into coming here Huh... I hate to say it, but I have a point. The how is totally beyond me. Maybe the Library will tell us how. :) <> The elft oen opens, producing a wrinkled scholar fellow, dressed in simple sand colroed robes. Point is...I'll find the way. Trust me. «ooc: It's Otto! » <> [Man] Yes? Who's knocking? We're closed to the public after hours.. ^^ Hey, I'm Elrika. And we're running from the church=) We heard you have lots of books to read, that's why we're here! *smiles* Can I come in and read some of them please? Sure you will. How ironic, Haylee. I don't believe you.. but I believe you... confusing. The man blinks several times... Believing in me is good. ^_- * Adam walks up to Elrika. Oh geeeze, did she have to tell her all of that? Elrika... lay off the sugar? ^^; Hey I can't lie. ... [Man] Well, this isn't a hotel, but if you want to read, please come back at a more decent time, hmm? ^^ ,oO(Lying...am I lying? Lying to them, I mean...) But I was really hoping to come in. * Johnathan coughs. "Excuse me.. sir.. but this is important.." Session Time: Mon May 01 00:00:00 2000 We think so, anyway.. Look I even made more flowers for you! *points& «ooc: Ooh! Identical twiiins! :D » [Man] My word... yeah, we need to find a way to piece the Johnathan jigsaw puzzle back together again. They're not twins, in case you're wondering ^^; * Johnathan` shrugs a little. "Ever see a spell go REALLY wrong? Yeah." [Man] Er.. that is... to say... ^^ Don't you...mean..."He's not twins", H..haylee? ^^; We were.. I was.. whatever.. hoping we.. I.. they.. might find an answer here. You hear another voice from farther inside. «ooc: Oh! Bree! That feels so good! O_o » [Voice] Let them in, friend. They obviously have a story to share... that is to say, "Will you let us in so we can do what all the kings horses and all the king's men couldn't do and put Humpty Dumpty back gogether again?" Lol.. ^^;;; «ooc: Tee hee hee. :D » Scott, I do believe I'm insulted. [Man] Are you sure? Very well... * Johnathan` chuckles. Scott! ;_; That was a terrible pun! * Elrika goes inside with Xavier on her shoulder. No offense, John.... Isn't she the impatient one. I really don't know what's going on with me right now... <> «ooc: Scott: But you're fucked up! Johnathan': ;_; Johnathtan:...fuck you. » The doors swing open wider... you come into a foyer with several seats, and a chandelier furnished in a very old classic style overhead... <> Wow... Nothing like the library back home... Wow, it's all so...nice looking. And a lot classier than Vane's. *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... and I thought the library in Vane was impressive..though I spent most of my time practicing my sword. *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 38: Split Decisions | Location: Salyan Desert, Great Library, Foyer | 3717 $P =-' I wonder how many books they have. The man behind you closes the doors. ... * Tahn hums a song to himself... a slow, slightly sad song... Impressive... In front of you, you see a similar fellow, brown ahir and eyes alight with wit and inetlligence. «ooc: Tahn: ...This is the song that never ends ;_: » * Elrika runs up to the man. «ooc: lol. Actually, "Ordinary World", by Duran Duran. » Where are the books? [Man] I'm so sorry for the trouble... please, make yourselves at home, seekers of knowledge. Seekers of knowledge? Hey.. :) Nice to mee you. Who else would be at a library, Adam? [Man] Well, you didn't come here to see pictrue books hmm? :) ...true. Hello, sir.. and thank you for letting us in. Thieves, John. actually, you're right. ..good call, Tahn. * Tahn goes back to the song and sits down, thinking. [Man] My name is Al-Shajar. And thanks are not needed. Please follow me. * Adam follows the man. * Johnathan follows. * Johnathan` also follows «ooc: Alebaba? » * Scott follows the old fella... * Elrika follows everyone. " I hope I can get a book about flowers. " <> * Tahn stays in the chair, lost in thought. * Haylee follows the others. <> << Al-Shajar, executor of the protoss fleet.. ;) >> ... «ooc: Shit! He's a protoss! :O » << It sounds kinda like he could be.. the name's.. eh. ;) >> (q) o/~ And in between the news of holy war and holy need, ours is just a little sorrowed song... o/~ You go through another set of doors, and into a huge chamber! Rows and rows of shelves are stacked books of all shapes and sizes.... they spiral up a couple of floors in fact. <> Impressive.. Whoa... O_o * Elrika stands there with her eyes all big and shiny. OOoohhhh Do you have a card catalog system here, by chance? ^6;;; «ooc: *is not there, btw, Stor.* ;) » Dear heavens.. this could take forever. «ooc: er ^^;;;; » <> <> [Al-Shajar] *chuckles* Don't worry friends.. you are lucky it's not crowded. :) .... Well obviously, since we are the only ones here. << Al-Shajar is a demigod of Gharundhim Lore, with a wit as fast as Lightning.. his ruby is part of the Silifi of Crimson Stars. :) >> * Emili looks at the library with an open jaw. <> * Johnathan looks around. "If.. I'm looking for a speicific book.." Well, do you know the name of the book? I think I'm going to find a place to sit down. Or maybe even the author? [Al-Shajar] Most scholars are in the chambers above pouring oevr a new manuscript someone brought into our collection recently. A new manuscript? From where? ...hmph... [Al-Shajar] I'm not sure, but a traveller found it in the mountains they say.. quite mysterious. * Elrika grabs a book entitled " Hiro's Adventure " Out of curiousity.. what's it called? [Al-Shajar] What has us stumped is that we cannot read the language it's scribed in.. it's from the Time of Ruins and nigh indecipherable in this day and age. «ooc: Al-Shajar: Uh...Playboy something.. O_o » * Scott grabs a book entitled "The Wisdom of the Stars, 3rd Edition" by Marina Ausa...written well before Mia's time. [Al-Shajar] Oh the title? I believe it's a diary of some type.. that's all we know. ^^ Why don't we take a look at it? What can it hurt? :) <<"A Treatise on the Properties of Fused Gems"?>> << *portals Scott to the Zaikhal Library* >> <<"Return to Frore"? =)>> «ooc: "The Universe of the Four Gods"? » * Leon sits down somewhere and doesn't say anything <> <<"How to make a hydrogen bomb using toothpaste"?>> Hey do you have anymore adventure books about Lunar sir? «ooc: "These people fuckin' annoy me." By Leon Blackfire » << "Virtue's citadel has been evaporated, sir." "Excellent..." >> <> Like some more recent? «ooc: Not as such. » Scott sees a few books near the Ausa volume.. one is entitled "Rise to Power: Virtue's Biography" ...can someone explain to me why I'm here... ooo let me see that book Scott. Because, Leon, you.. Virtue's Biography? That'd be about as interesting as watching paint dry. [Al-Shajar] I believe your friend is very close to one. ..uh.. Because frankly Leon, what else would you do? ^_- << teehee IOG 0 reference >> <> «ooc: "Swedish made Penis Enlargers and Me: This Sort of Thing is My Bag Baby" By Austin Powers » ..honestly? «ooc: LOL! Leon! » I'd leave..go somewhere...away And do what? [Al-Shajar] If you want histories they are down here. Upstairs is the works of fiction and prose. :) << hey you will be surprised on her biography Scott =) >> ...who cares Aw hell. * Scott picks up Virtue's bio, just for shits and giggles. Exactly. YOu wouldn't be doing anything. What's more exciting than knowing you're eventally gonna clash with more bad icky things/ * Tahn looks around and notices a book by the name of "Lina Inverse and the Wings of Chaos", by one "Miss Myth"... Hm, maybe John can take a look at that manuscript you have, I think he knows how to read that old stuff. Hmm. Fiction, obviously.. Sir.. could you maybe tell me anything about a book I have? * Tahn picks it up and reads it. * Johnathan` pulls the white-book book out of his bag. ...I never said I'd stay with you people after Zeio was dead. [Al-Shajar] Certainly... would you liek to retire to the study? <> So why are you still here? ^_- Could it be possibly that you actually DO give a shit about us? ^_- «ooc: Emili: I know. I pre-ordered it. :D It's coming by mail. Bookyah! » * Scott starts reading Virtue's biography. Jack finds a book about Leo and cries tears of joy! ^^ ...no, why would you think something like that It's ok Jack, I know it's sad when the dog dies. Scott skims the first chapter some.. it tell of how the Church became divided under Ronfar and Mauri... We're not perfect, Leon...but something's got to be somewhat appealing about us, or you'd be walking out the door ages ago. <> ..I did walk out the door. Johnathan asked me to stay * Johnathan pulls out the black-bound book as well. "A study..? Sure." ..to help you kill Zeio ..and I did. «ooc: ^_^ Heh. So far as I know you're the only one besides me getting it. Maybe we can help each other out, although you'll be getting a huge head start on it ^^; » Virtue herself spoke up against the division, and so started her crusade to unify Lunar. * Scott keeps reading, as if there's anything better to do in a library. <> The rest starts to get rather boring.. but there's recounts of many battles.. «ooc: Didn't you just say you'd buy it? ^_- » <> So why are you still here? ^_- ...good question. * Leon stands up, and turns to the door [Al-Shajar] Come this way then. By the way, might I have your names? <> Maybe it's to watch over innocent people like Elrika? «ooc: I SHOULD be. But first, I'm getting it mail order, and secondly, I'm going on vacation may 5th. » I'm Adam Dynastis...former Captain of the 13th Regiment of Viture's Guard. I'm Johnathan Hylan.

There's a story and a half.. * Emili waves bye to Leon "See you later" I mean leaving for good leaving. ^^; * Johnathan` turns to face leon, looking shocked. "You are?" << I may cancell next week... >> * Scott is still engrossed in reading Virtue's Bio...really bored anyway... «ooc: Any reason? ^^; » ...I did what I said I'd do. My time here is over. << he has to have sex >> «ooc: I'm getting laid! » Scott sees how Virtue was forced to make tough decisions and sacrifices for her goal.. «ooc: LOL, GMTA Adam. » << lol Tahn >> You're just.. going to leave? Yes. Again huh... * Elrika stops reading. * Scott keeps reading. * Elrika walks up to Leon. Mr. Leon... Al Shajar shuffles off to a spiral staircase. * Scott walks into a wall. @_@x Ah, yes. ^_- Elrika. ...I'm not a Mister. * Haylee steps back a bit. .oO(Yanno, I can kind of relate to this story.) Scott crashes into a wall, a couple books falling on his ehad. ^^ «ooc: GOD! Elrika is just as annoyingly polite as Amelia! >_< » Why are you going to leave?

That's all right, Leon.. I appreciate your company, even if you aren't one. Yeah! What Elrika said! * Elrika kisses Leon on the cheek, not afraid at all of what Leon might do. Come on, Mr. Leon! * Scott is pretty much out like a light... «ooc: ...She's SO asking to be thrown through a wall ;) » * Elrika grabs Leon's arm and begins to pull him. << Gah.. it's EMili ^^ >> (q) o/~ Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say "Pride will tear us both apart"... o/~ [Al-Shajar] At your leisure, Johnathan.

No, that's not what I meant to say Oh, crap No! * Leon looks over at Haylee and the 2 John's...tilts his head to look at the other briefly << Massive lag. >> << Lag >> -Johnathan- "Ok.. the front row pieces are called peons.. the ones on the end are castles.. then horses.. then these two are both the pope.. um.. the one with the cross is the emperor, and this one is his bitch" -Johnathan`- PENIS PENIS I LIKE TO SUCK GIANT PENISES FOR BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER YUM PENIS << Clear. >> << adam comvulses >> [Scholars] Those books! «ooc: mmm....Girl Scout mint cookies... :O~~~ » << did the whole channel die? ^^ >> << [Scholars] They're just in PIG LATIN! Of course! :D >> << We're waiting to see what happens! >> << im here >> <> [Scholar 4] *lifts up a paper* Yes, they must be it! [Al-Shajar] Calm down.. I hate missing the climax of a tale. :) «ooc: wah brb again ^^: » [Scholar 4] It was our other discovery... in the very back of the book is a paper in ordinary Lunarian. << ummmm speed it UP a bit :P >> * Scott appears calmer as he reads the letter in his hand. He's really not paying the scholars any mind at all. [Scholar 2] Ah, so you think? [Scholar 3] It must be.. it said to.. * Johnathan blinks He clears his throat. * Haylee blinks [Scholar 3] "...find the darkness and the light cast by the immortal star." *** Zipo (zipo@sdn-ar-002oreugeP330.dialsprint.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG * Scott looks up. "eh?" Star...? [Scholar 1] So are they really a set then? Get the Book! * Scott creates a small star in his hands. "You mean like this star?" <> «ooc: Get the Book! Crack it's head! Spill it's blood! » <> «ooc: First one to get that wins a cookie » «ooc: Yay! Emmy! :D » [Al-Shajar] Fascinating... yes, we need to see. * Scott throws the star right in front of Al-Shajar. "ok, if you insist. Here ya go, pal." A few of the babbling stuffy intellectuals reach below the desk into a compartment... it appears they were looking through glass at the actual book tiself, almost afraid to physically touch it. ^^ [Al-Shajar] *blinks, catching it* ^^ Well, not quite this type of Star Scott. I believe it has to do with the Dragon... * Scott shrugs. if you'll excuse me, it's way too stuffy in here. I'll be elsewhere practicing. * Johnathan` looks at Emili, and raises an eyebrow. You mean... * Haylee also looks at Emmy Eh? The volume comes into the light.. you can see it's a soft silver color, and quite small. It's obivuosly a person's memoirs or diary. * Scott looks back at Emmi. «ooc: I thought Scott said it's way too stiffy in here ^^;;; » * Emili looks at everyone "What...?" The Star Dragon? you don't think.... [Al-Shajar] That's our theory, but we have no clue as to what the other two could mean. But your books seem to be peculiarly related. [Scholar 2] Here it is. I just wish it was readable.. They each say that they're one of a set of three. ..but they're both blank, other than that. [Scholar 4] Who could Sandra be, I wonder? Sandra... «ooc: I would know this right? ^^: I wasn't controlled when this came out, right? » [Scholar 3] It's obviously recent.. it had to ahve been written by someone in this decade at least.. << None of us recognize that name, do we? >> * Scott thinks. "There was a Sandra that married Gregory Windstar. Never knew what she saw in him...wait a minute..Emmi's last name is Windstar." << nope >> << You shouldn't.... unless Zeio mentioend her. :) >> «ooc: I could have sword it was said at some point. ^^; » <> << Oh yah.. common knowledge.. but she disapeared. :) >> ... Wait.. a 'Sandra' married Zeio? no one knows what happened to her, though...so strange..she just disappeared without a trace. And.. Zeio was... * Johnathan looks at Emili again John, you're not thinking what I am, are you? * Emili looks at John "What?!" * Scott looks right deadpan at Emili again. [Al-Shajar] Zeio? I've heard the name mentioend.. they said he was sperading terror about after Kashier's assassination. Quite desturbing. Emili.. how much do you remember? Yeah...he's a freaky demon guy...was a freaky demon guy. Well, it was in battle with Zeio that John became the people he is now. The point....ummm.... when I met Allen.... Al Shajar waves the scholars off... "Leave us. This is important. And I believe some book need to be re-catalogued." [Scholars] You can't be serious? At a time like.. ugh.. evry well.. *grumble* ..at least if we can believe Zeio and Lure. Oh, there's no sense in stomping around this.. Emili.. Zeio was your father... and your mother was.. well.. the star dragon Emili, I want you to think hard for a moment, ok? Does the name "Lure" come to mind?" You soon are alone with the book and the headmaster. [Al-Shajar] This story grows more and more interesting... «ooc: ...and a lot of whips and leathe.r » John... ^^: Uh...that was rather blunt. «ooc: leather. » ... Al Shajar picks up the diary. * Emili thinks for a long moment. «ooc: I need to go to sleep, am I gonna be needed Storen? :) » << No, we're about to end in a bit. :) >> «ooc: Okay, I'll see you later then :) » «ooc: ^^ Yis. I need to go too...I'm hungry... O_o » It's the truth, though. <> «ooc: Beware! Leon would throw oyu hella far! » «ooc: Storen has my persmission to kill Emili if she does that » [Al-Shajar] John, place your books on the desk. < [Al-Shajar] Well, both of yours, as the case may be. ......... ............ ....... «ooc: Just because I didn't kill Elrika doesn't mean I won't kill Emili ;) » «ooc: Crap Em! That's a lot of periods! :o » ..........No I don't know of anyone named Lure. * Johnathan sets his book down. * Johnathan` hesitates a little, then follows suit *** Leon has quit IRC (Quit: I still need to get used to being a Silver Wolf :)) Aw man...we're talking complete memory wipe out...Zeio's really done a number on her mind. I'm not so sure her amesia is from Zeio. could it be from Sethius' arrival in our time period? The bronze haired scholar hands the Diary to Emili. <> <> << ? >> <> Doubt it, Scott << If there's still problems I can end here. >> <> << Ah, good. :D >> The bronze haired scholar hands the Diary to Emili. (re) <> «ooc: Your comp was doing hte wave? :) » [Al-Shajar] If what your friends say is true, try to read this... Uh... I dunno if I can.... *** Zipo has quit IRC (Quit: Zipo has burnt out) just try, Emmi. Al Shajar sits down, and starts studying John's books... *** Zipo (zipo@sdn-ar-002oreugeP330.dialsprint.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG * Emili takes the book, looking at its cover for several moments. if she could read those heiroglyphics in the mystic ruins...she should be able to read that. Emili feels a certain warmth from the book. She sees the words Sandra in a small corner. * Emili turns the book to the side.... "Can I have some hot cocoa?" Eh? Well... look at it! This book has got to have at least 200 pages on it! [Al-Shajar] You never know until you open it... hmm... now if she starts asking for "Heaven's Steaks" start running for the hills, folks. [Al-Shajar] Yes, these are oddly blank.. almost like they were erased.. [Al-Shajar] Treatise of Truth... they do fit the mention of a book of shadow and light, however. But what is the purpose of it all? * Emili flips open the latch on the book, finds a seat and pulls the cover open, skipping a few of the pages near the start of the book. The ruinic script seems perplexing at first to Emili... I wish I knew. Then, one by one, letters start popping up... «ooc: Hmm...there's a s...an e... an x... Scott, what's "sex" mean? » [Johnathan:#Lunar-IoG PING] "... it's been six years since I left Vane, and the child has grow healthy and strong. I now know after seeing her back in the mountain sunlight, that she too bears a destiny.." ..... * Emili pours more into the pages. "If it may destroy or save Lunar, even my limitless knowledge can't say... but my heart ony wishes for her happiness." <> "If it could continue in our small cabin like this always.... but Zeio is getting close.. can I keep protecting her? She isn't ready for the ascendance yet..." * Scott watches Emmi read. ... Emili finds a later entry. "Emili's going to have a race today with the creatures of the forest... though I've been seeing shadows in the woods lately. I hope she doesn't get lost..." * Emili immediately shuts the book. <> «ooc: Emmy likes to pretend she's a ferret. ^_^ » Em? "I don't have much more time left, so perhaps I should place my hope in this book.. for her to read if these really are my final..." The book is closed. <<> ......... << XAVIER ! >> [Al-Shajar] Can you read it? Emili's back suddenly itches somewhat. «ooc: Et oh! » «ooc: Emili: Crap! ALIENS! ;_; » * Emili puts a hand on the book... and tightens her fist. She turns to Al-Shajar letting her fist loosen, "No...." Sorry... I can't read it. [Al-Shajar] Are you positive? Your face tells a somewhat differant tale.. even I can tell it, Emmi..in your eyes.. Maybe it's private... Emili.. * Emili drops her hand to her side... a small wisp of light appearing in her hand. «ooc: Oh crap! She's gonna dragon salve us ;_; » << Dragon salve.. nummy! :) >> There's nothing to important for me to read in there. <> ....at least.... not yet. What..? Eh? [Al-Shajar] Hmm? Emili...? O-o [Al-Shajar] But you barely skimmed the first pages... surely there is a wealth of something in there that you are emant to see if we cannot. «ooc: Blackness beyond the deepest pitch, darker than the darkest night! Oh SHIT! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! » <> I'm... by birth and right the Star Dragon of this era.... but I'm not ready to take the acesiondancy just yet. «ooc: I knew right after I pushed return. » «ooc: Heh. ^^; » [Al-Shajar] And this would be... your predescessor's diary? I don't want to accept the memories yet. [Al-Shajar] Imagine the knowledge contained within.. I shudder to think. Perhaps you are wise to decline it. But.. when will you be ready, Emili? My memories are all I need to break the seal. Seal? * Emili turns to John, "I don't know... someday..." [Al-Shajar] Emili, was there any mention of the set of books? This was what we extracted from the back. * Haylee smiles softly at Emili. Al Shajar reaches into another compartment in the desk, extracting a small paper. Something I still don't understand.. if this went with the books I had.. where's the connection? And why was I so drawn to that one.. And I to the other? What do they have to do with ech other? He hands it to Emili. * Emili reads the sheet *** Emili is now known as Pikachu *** Pikachu has quit IRC (Quit: PIka!) «ooc: O_O WTFH » << oooook... >> «ooc: Erhm? O_o » << stops mid type o_o >> *** Windstar (Windstar@cs2734-63.austin.rr.com) has joined #Lunar-IoG *** Bree sets mode: +o Windstar << ah? ^^ >> «ooc: The paper turned Emili into a Pikachu! I scared! » <> «ooc: /me clings to Tahn in fear! ;_; » «ooc: * Emili reads the sheet » «ooc: *** Emili is now known as Pikachu » «ooc: *** Pikachu has quit IRC (Quit: PIka!) » «ooc: I'm scared! ;_; Someone hold me cuz I'm the cute one! » <> << someone playign around? ^^ >> "Dearest, If there ever comes a time that the barrier is broken by someone, you will have a choice." «ooc: John can hold you! :O Both of him! » <> "Hope will light the future ahead, and doubt will darken that which has past.... but you, as the shining star, are the final key." so basically, we need to protect Emmi at all costs right, Al? "The Truth is only when both come together..." There is no more. Both come together *Looks at John* Told you. ^_- << Except that this is what Emili is reading, and we don't know it, eh? ;) >> «ooc: Aw fusk. Nuke that ;_; » Al Shajar reads off a copy that one of the Scholar's dropped. ^^ Both come together *Looks at John* Told you. ^_- «ooc: Okay, NOW it fits ^_- » << Oh. ;) >> << guys i really have to go. I got to wake up in 4 hours for work=( >> << Seeya, Adam >> so basically, we need to protect Emmi at all costs right, Al? << take care everyone, and please force Storen to look for a job >> Both come together... that doesn't necessarily mean.. but I was.. *** Elrika has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [Al-Shajar] I wonder... *** Adam has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) Emili.. does this make any sense to you? * Windstar ponders the message. <> *** Windstar is now known as Emili *** Emili is now known as Emili_Windstar [Al-Shajar] This seems to fall into place with everything.. *** Emili_Windstar is now known as Star_Dragon *** Star_Dragon is now known as Emili <> <<..... Agh I don't know what it means..>> <> «ooc: ^^ Getting sleepy.. » <> A choice.. but what's the choice? [Al-Shajar] If I take this correctly, this seems like the final step in some kind of plan. [Al-Shajar] But, as the letetr sugegsts, we should go about helping your friend, hmm? Al, could this have to do wth the final step in a plan to resurrect the blue star? I remember Lure saying something to that effect. * Emili snaps her fingers I got it. We just ram the two together! Ram them? O_o We WHAT? Eh? [Al-Shajar] *swatdrops* ^^; this ist aking slam dancing a little bit to the extreme, Emmi. * Emili looks at the group and winks "Just kidding!" If we wanted to achieve THAT effect, we could both just go immaterial, line ourselves up in the same spot, and rematerialize. [Al-Shajar] I believe I might have a better plan, noble Emily. ..that'd kill us both. Seriously, Emili.. does this mean anything to you? <> Yah, I know. * Emili rubs her stomach "Gosh.... I'm hungry..." «ooc: Emili: Can I eat your first born? In a cute way? » [Al-Shajar] There's a place in the depths of the Blue Spire where the Goddess's energy is gathered.. perhaps something in that furnace of magic could help Johnathan? Hungry.. you're.. hungry. Can't that wait.. please? Or.. or.. if I remember correctly, back before we got to Horam, Emmi had an appetite that would put a certain short statured, foul tempered sorceress to shame. * Johnathan looks a little frustrated Well I got a choice, I can help John, or I can eat... which would I perfer...? Help John please? ^_- * Johnathan` chuckles. "Great, I lose out to nourishment again. Well look at it this way John The Blue Spire..? «ooc: LOL. A little more subtle about your Slayers refs than you are your AC refs, scott? » It's a choice, which would you perfer? [Johnathan:#Lunar-IoG PING] I'll cok for you on the ship, Emili. I'll cook for you on the ship, Emili, ok? * Emili looks at Scott "You're not getting it" «ooc: Oh. I was about to SAY! » [Al-Shajar] Yes, maybe Emili could gleane a way to manipulate the energy there? It is a shaky theory at best. * Johnathan laughs <> Emili, please tell me you're just messing with us? «ooc: Me evil evil everyone idiot? » <> <> John... don't you get it? [Al-Shajar] If you need mroe time, I can offer you a room for the night to think abotu today's events? It's a choice. Thanks sir. ^^ «ooc: lol » Of course it's a choice... But.. what are you.. ok, I'm confused again. Just like what's going to happen when we arrive at the Blue Spire. «ooc: Ugh ^^ Sorry, I need to go soon. Are we near done, stor? » * Johnathan` buries his face in his hands. "I'm an idiot. I never realized before, but I'm an idiot." * Haylee pats John on the back. "No you aren't" [Al-Shajar] It is late after all... perhaps we'll resume this in the morning? Something is going to happen in which I must make a choice. Emili, I'm honestly lost. * Haylee pats the other John on the back. "And you aren't either!" And it could end up with some very mixed problems and views. Right. Now I'm going to bed. ^^; * Haylee walks off to the room that Alababawhat'shisface suggested. ^_^ Yes he is. Now, think of it relating to food. What are you going to eat? Something that you love but isn't good for you, or something you hate but is good for you? [Al-Shajar] Down the hall, and off to your left.. I need to clean up in here.. Thanks sir! *Wanders off* What she's suggesting, John, is that maybe it'll turn out to be better, in the long run, to leave us split. Am I right, Emili? Al Shajar picks up some of the large history volumes. It looks very heavy. << wrap it up.. :) >> That's kinda like what I thought, but I dunno... Anyway I'm hungry!! Getting back my memories has given me an overwhelming appitite! Got any heaven's steaks? =) [Al-Shajar] I can have someone fetch you some cocoa and several biscuits.. ^^ RUN! * Haylee calls from far off! "Dei EMILI! ^_-" «ooc: Yay for beast hearing ^_- » * Emili teleports over to where Haylee is "Hallo, what did you say?" * Johnathan` laughs. "Heaven's steaks.. oh no." <> Al Shajar ushers everyone out, smiling to Emili. ^_- Nothing. You do realize now that Heaven's Steaks don't exsist, right? ^^: And nice telportation trick O_o * Johnathan` is ushered out << [Emili] Roiga Thiloi! *Portals over to Haylee.*>> * Johnathan is also ushered out. Surprise * Emili nearly falls on top of Haylee << can you be silent for a sec? :) >> * Scott leaves. O_o «ooc: Okay ^^; » They don't! ô_ô ^^; No... * Emili faints from shock ~~ Cut Scene ~~ Aw shit ^^; «ooc: ^^ LOL » <> Alone in the study, Al SHajar sets some books down into a neat pile, and takes a seat in an easy chair. «ooc: watch, for some sick reason they do exsist and I'll look stupid ^_- » [Al-Shajar] Hmm.. I'm surprised.. <> <<..... Okay.... me am tired kay tnx>> [Al-Shajar] Maybe I underestimate Emili's spirit.. she has a heavy burden to overcome. And I'm counting on her. <> [Al-Shajar] But... this will be interesting. In the womb of my birth might come yet another... but hope or doubt? I'll be watching for the next Chapter... ~~ END SESSION ~~ Or not Session Close: Mon May 01 02:06:05 2000
