Session Start: Wed Jun 28 17:21:23 2006 Session Ident: #lunar-iog2 * Storen changes topic to '-= Chapter 18.1: Holy Hijinks | Location: New Raculi | Pools: 1287 §, 12 MXP =- http://storen.rpgcafe.net/IoG/ | OOC chan: #iog-ooc' * Ysmsm is now known as Tanan ==LUDE IS NOW FROM ENGAGE! SWIFT ACTIVATE WITH CONVICTION!== (Our intrepid band walks down the tree-lined streets of New Raculi. Despite the otherwise simplistic and rustic feel of the town, the high walls and ubiquitous presence of the Virtue Knights cannot be ignored.) * Vytor heads off in the direction of the Pub, making sure no one wanders off in the process. Werner's Pub is a decent place, and might not be overbusy right now. * Niri follows, humming cheerily (and perfectly on key). Sounds good. * Angie follows close behind, hands behind her back. She's either ignoring or unaware of the gravity of the situation -- to an onlooker, she might as well just be another tourist. * Saki follows after the group, hands behind her head and expression carefully neutral. She seems somewhat more at ease away from the church, but something about the town puts her on edge, let alone imminent Prophetess. It's been ages since I've been around here, and I never really saw much of the town. I hope this place is better than it's name. We've been spoiled with Saki along lately, it's not like we'll be coming off horrible travelling food and be happy for anything warm * Vytor stops in front of a single story brick building, a sign hangs above the door, displaying the silouette of a portly gentleman raising a glass. Here we are. * Vytor opens the door for everyone. * Niri goes in, looking around curiously! Part of the fun of travelling is eating the local food. -Stelas- [Global Notice] Some advance warning / in a fortnight Eld will move / there may be downtime. Bear with us through this / momentary server loss / times are very tough. We offer haiku / to appease those affected / by this move, kay thx. * Tanan grins at the sign. "Well, at least the guy on the sign's been eating. And Angie, if they mention any 'regional specialties'..." (the inside of the pub isn't exactly one of opulance. The lights come from candes on the table, making up for the muted sunlight that comes through the stained glass windows.) Looks...uh, cozy? * Trune scritches his head. * Saki raises at eyebrow up at the structure. "... I've not tried Raculian food before. What's the normal base?" ...Should I be nervous about "regional specialties"? Sodium hydroxide (The many tables strewn about are simple bench-style affiars, with benches for seating. A standing bar hugs the wall to one side of the kitchen, and a fire smoulders unwatched in the corner firepit.) Just go ahead and grab a table. Self-seating and all that * Tanan turns and smiles at her. "I wouldn't recommend nervousness, Niri. I'd recommend soul-numbing terror" * Trune smirks and snickers a little, "Really Tanan? I was thinking potassium benzoate." Nah, that's more of a Meribian base, I'd think. * Angie claps her hands together, kneading her palms. "All right! It's been a while." She hooks a bench with her foot, hauling it out and flopping down. "Right, tour guide! What do you recommend?" * Vytor takes a seat opposite Angie, "Anything really. THe food is surprisingly good here. The local ale is decent, but not fancy." * Saki perches on the end of the bench Angie drags over, giving Tanan and Trune a flat look before despite herself trying to catch a glimpse of what any other customers may be eating. I bet it is, but Niri is so not having any. End of discussion! She's older than you are. What, you WANT her to have some? I'm doing this for our own safety, you know. ....Good grief, Trune. Who spit in YOUR cereal this morning? :P Fancy booze is for fancy people. Niri! *She leans over the table, grinning like a cat.* You're the centre of attention, girl. * DooM_GazE (~michaela@S010600306512722d.cg.shawcable.net) has joined #lunar-iog2 * ChanServ sets mode: +o DooM_GazE * DooM_GazE is now known as Ryllan Nobody! I just have to be somewhat forceful sometimes, that's all. * Tanan looks speculatively at Niri. "She'd probably be amusing after a drink. I don't think anyone's suggesting we get her drunk though." I'd rather just eat lunch, Angie! And I just wanted a small glass of mead. You guys have never even seen me drink. My dad gives me alcohol with dinner sometimes, you know. *sulks* (One of the waitereses comes by and deposits several menus at the table.) * Ryllan laguhs, "Amusing, yes, but who wants to take responsibility for the damages?" But if you're going to make a huge fuss about it, then fine. I'll just order the largest dessert on the menu. Well, let's see what we get first. Some places, beer is lunch. * Vytor cracks open a menu and considers Oh, pft, Ryllan. I'll keep an eye on her if it makes you happy. I doubt I'll need to, though, she's been running around doing this crazy stuff more than any of us. * Niri peers at the menu, trying to get an idea of what they serve. * Angie pins a menu with two fingers and slides it across the table to her. Get the Special Grade Dwarven Ale, chewy enough to be lunch. * Saki falls silent, evidently thinking about something deep and important. The rumination is long and protracted, as she sits like a statue. Then the decision is made, and a menu snatched up, and the conclusion rumbled out: "... I could use a damn good drink." * Niri waves a finger over the top of her menu. "Hey, thanks for remembering, Tanan! No one else does!" * Tanan pauses to look horrified. "Why would you want chewy beer?" So you can claim you're a macho man by having chewy beer, apparently. Someone has to keep track of things around here! Well, someone other than Saki. I don't, but some poeple like it * Ryllan opens a menu, "Just because you've been doing it doesn't make you good at it, or any less suicidal." He hmms, "Bar food. Yay." Pessimism isn't good for your digestion! * Tanan looks dubiously at the menu. "of course, I'm not sure any of this stuff is either." (The waiteress returns, and informs the group that the special of the day is Brook Trout Almandine, and the soup of the day in Minestrone.) * Vytor considers for a while, then shuts his menu to signal his readiness. Oh man, I hope it's a good minestrone they serve here. None of those watery soups with little bits of potato and meat. Ugh, hate those. So, everyone know what they want? * Stelas is now known as Potted_Admin * Angie runs a finger down the menu. "I like a bit of it now and then. It's really hit-or-miss, though." She taps the page. "Think I'm just gonna get something bread, or something with bread on it, you know, bread-affiliated. How would you guys feel about a pitcher of the Alderson Dark?" I'll drink it. Worth a try, I suppose? * Ryllan closes his menu, "It'll do me. * Niri closes her menu, a satisfied smile on her face. "Yep!" * Trune shrugs and closes his menu, "I'm game. Course, uh, I doubt you'll let me but just chiming in." * Tanan turns his menu sideways, frowning * Angie shuts her menu and pushes it away, leaning back. "See," she says, "this is nice. I am not so much about the swamps and monsters, regardless of what my resume might look like." * Tanan turns it back and closes it. "I.. guess so." Occasionally, we do hit civilization, Angie ;) Or civilization hits us. * Saki looks over the menu at a slow rate, apparently absorbing the information carefully; serious business, it seems. At length she puts the menu down with a faint frown, apparently having chosen, and starts to slowly dissolve into a more relaxed position, eyes closed and listening idly to the conversation. (The waitress returns, and quickly and expertly takes the orders of the assembled. She whisks away to deliver said order to the kitchen and bar.) You know, I should have dared someoen to order milk in a clean glass and see the reaction of the wait staff. Or I should have done it myself. *Sigh* A wasted opprotunity. * Angie snorts with laughter. "Yeah, it depends on your point of view, eh?" She drums her left hand on the table, smiling at her own half-joke. "You gotta understand, normally people out here do not have the Destiny. Time was I'd be out in buttfuck nowhere for weeks or months to get between towns! It's actually a nice change of pace, aside from the mortal danger." You should have! The running gag here is to order a small beer, in a large glass, and just fill it up the rest of the way ;) You could always ask for one when she comes back Angie? * Niri eagerly awaits her lamb pie and home-baked bread, with seasoned carrots and peas and a half glass of honey mead ^_^ And then I should get a watercress salad on the side. On a silk napkin, with a slice of quiche. ...You're weird, Trune. :D Getting around in this day and age isn't an easy task. Even around Volcanon Labs, long-range transportation is hard to come by * Saki raises one hand to her neck, and rubs at a sore spot there with a wince. "... I don't much like bumping around on top of the damn thing while we dash around, though." I'd trade the getting-there-quick for the not-getting-attacked any day. You joking? I bet it'd be hilarious! * Tanan stares at Trune ...Man you people are seriously no fun. * Vytor looks at Saki, "That's how it is when you're riding in the cargo space." ;) * Tanan moves his head slightly as though to get a different angle Well then you should sit inside like the rest of us. * Saki makes a face, winces again, and drops her hand. "... then I'd be cooped up inside." She's a free spirit, man. Free spirit. I usppose modifying the back end of the Destiny for nicer seating is possible, provided we can free up some cargo space to do it. Saki is difficult to please! Not really, she just doesn't want to be treated like frieght. * Saki raises one eyebrow, faintly amused. "She's right here, too." Maybe next time I can sit on top and sing showtunes while we drive. Oh goddess let's not. I would pay to see that * Trune takes his turn to stare at Tanan as if he's stark raving mad. * Vytor snrks What? She's a good singer, and the concept is hilarious. Maybe its some kind of bizzare echo-location. Nah. I just thought if I did it right, I could scare off monsters! * Saki crosses her arms, leaning back a little. "... Even /I/ can't make eating bugs pleasant, though." Of course for that it might work better if we had Trune sing. ;) There's ...just something scary about the whole conce...HEY! * Tanan laughs :D (The waitress returns with some complimentary potato cakes, along with the big pitcher of dark beer, several frosty glasses, and well as any individual drinks. She mentions the food will be arriving shortly, and whisks away again.) Hah! * Trune mumbles something acidic and bites into a potato cake. Ooh, potato cakes! * Niri grabs one Also, Trune, you yourself said you weren't a good singer. :P I haven't actually heard you, you know. * Vytor samples a cake, and starts pouring beer for people. Thanks, Vytor * Niri takes an experimental sip of her honey mead, initially making a face, but looking pleased as the sweet aftertaste takes over. Mmm, this is good! Told you. Honey mead is nice stuff. Don't sweat it, Niri. You really shouldn't. * Ryllan shakes his head at Niri, "Just don't let it go to your head." * Vytor pushes a Mug over to Angie Niri, go easy on the mead, okay? * Tanan takes a tentative drink and then makes a face, staring at the glass. * Tanan shrugs and takes another drink. * Niri glances at her glass, which has gone down perhaps an eighth of an inch. She looks back at Trune and raises an eyebrow. She points to the glass. Notice that it was only half full to START with. Well, yeah! I'm just sayin'...you look like you'd be a lightweight. * mia2 is now known as MiaBBIAB * Saki smirks in what is, for once, a not unpleasant fashion as she reaches over to claim a mug, settling back to cradle it in her lap. "... Wonder if you're the sort to get drunk from the legs up." That's why I ordered HALF a glass. After all the hype, I kind of want to see what she's like drunk. Though I don't imagine she'll get there with that alone. *She tops off her glass from the pitcher.* We'll know if she starts dancing. Pay to see that too. Now w--actually yeah I would pay to see her dance. I changed my mind! Drink faster, Niri! * ZackNap is now known as Zack ...Hey now! * Vytor laughs! * Tanan takes another small drink. "This stuff is.. compellingly bad." * Ryllan sips, "Strong, Not bad though." What'd you say it was again? And yet, you continue to drink. Now that I think on it I would pay more to see Professor Tanan dance. Me too. :D Tanan, I've got 10S for you... You'd pay to see anyone dance, wouldn't you? Come back on amateur night. You'll get your wish. * Niri waves a coin at him * Saki finally takes a draught after a length period of just holding it - and makes an appreciative noise as she lowers the mug. "... mm. I've had some in Meribia. It's better without having travelled." She pauses, then fixes a glare Trune's way. "... Don't you dare suggest what I'm expecting next." I'll have you know that I'm not really a bad dancer! That would be awesome. So, so awesome. And see, we should have him dance to Polka or ragtime music. Maybe swing. Yeah! Swing music! * Angie downs a third of the glass in a single epic swig. "You haven't had bad beer. This is pretty good. I've had better back home, but it's worth what it costs." But I'm not getting up there by myself or anything. (THe waitress returns, burdened with the party's meal requests. Despite this, she deposits the many platters without a spill, and whisks away yet again.) Dig in folks. * Tanan sets his mug down and picks up his fork. "I guess I don't really like beer that much. I donno." * Niri digs into the heavenly meat and gravy concoction * Trune digs into his soup, "Okay, now this is a stew. Not bad." * Tanan spears some meat and takes a bite. Tell you what Tanan, we'll take up a collection, and then you and Trune and trot up to the stage and strut your stuff, and keep what silver we raise. * Saki is up in an instant, inspecting her food with a craftsman's eye. The pastry on her pie gets special attention, then she's digging in at a truly determined pace and apparently enjoying every second. Funny as it would be, I'm not dancing with Trune. Sorry. Spirit man? Or are you, like, a wine person. Bah, why? Is it because I could totally outdance you? * Tanan takes another bite. "Hmm. This is pretty good. Tastes like... what's called. pelican." I think he's afraid he'll get beat up, Trune! * Vytor looks at Tanan curiously By who? Me or the locals? ;) I can see Tanan as a wine man He's got that kind of ambiance to him * Tanan nods. "More wine than anything, yeah." And now why are you two fantasizing about me getting beaten up? Doesn't that happen enough already? * Vytor digs into his bangers and mash with practiced ease * Angie makes a face. "Ewww." She hides behind her beer for a few seconds, revealing a contrite expression when she finally sets the glass down. "Sorry, I really only knew this one girl who really liked wine, and she was like the most pretentious person ever, so that's what I think of." Eh, I'm not crazy about wine for more personal reasons. Yes. Wine killed his puppy. You can like Wine without the pretentiousness. My sister likes wine over beer, and she's merely bookish It did? * Tanan sighs and bows his head. "If you're going to call me pretentious, just go ahead and get it out of the way" Yep. With a pocketknife. :D Fine, you're pretentious. Your sister...she's from here, right? But not here right now. *She smiles broadly.* I remembered. Go me. * Vytor gives Angie a "score 1" sign. * Tanan looks back up, grinning. "There we go." * Trune smirks at Niri and gets a mock-dramatic expression on his face, "Yes, it was a tragic affair with a corkscrew and a bottle of pinot noir. Poor, poor Fluffy. He only wanted a refined taste, and alas, he's DEAD." * Saki sits back, half of her meal exactingly shovelled away, and again starts cradling her mug. She sounds almost wistful as she starts to wax lyrical; "... Horam wine's excellent on a cold night if it's warmed enough." Warm wine? I've never heard of it It's cuz it's rice wine over in Horam, right? What's rice wine like? I've never tried it before. Me neither, actually * Trune shakes his head, "Me neither" * Saki grins wide, and nods in Trune's direction. "Served hot. ... very crisp and clean taste. When next we're back in Meribia I'll raid my ... stash." I'd like to try it. Sounds good. Rice wine... it ain't bad. Not really to my taste, though. I like my drinks cold. * Vytor takes a swig from his mug, "Can't hurt to give it a try." * Saki is still smirking as she replaces her mug. "Heathen." Hey now. Dangerous thing to accuse someone of around here. Have the rice wine heresy squad after us in no time * Tanan grins Again? What can I say? I'm an unlettered Meribia-at-large-type. * Saki switches to deadpan, making some overly exaggerated poses. With cutlery, even. "I will merely defeat the enforcers with my trusty Ladle of Slaying." I would have thought you'd be more of a 'Frying pan of slaying' type. * Vytor polishes off his food, then snags one last potato cake with a statisfied look on his face. I'm going to run out of money with all the stuff I'd pay to see at this rate I imagine Saki could bloudgeon anyone into submission with any kitchen utensil * Saki looks brutally stern at Trune for several long beats. "... quite. If I restricted myself to one thing, I would be at a disadvantage if one wasn't around." See? Yeah, I see. * Vytor takes a stately look as he raises his hand and intones, "Let not the tool become the warrior, for all strength be in the hand that weilds it." * Saki joins in, eyes closed. "And may your grill be piping at all times." Quite. * Angie traces the rim of her glass with her fingernail, eyes wandering toward the ceiling. "You know how there's, like, this stereotype where the woman is old and fat and a housewife and she waves a rolling pin around? I wonder if anyone actually fights with a rolling pin." Yes. * Saki winces visibly. "... y-. Yes. I think that school is still going, yes." I suppose its better than trying to fend someone off with a melon baller. One of my preliminary bouts in the Meribian tourney featured a member. Mm. All strength, Vytor? It was... interesting. Wait wait wait wait wait There's a school of fighting for that? * Vytor flips over his coaster and shows it to Tanan, "See? Written right there in glorious black ink." Apparently. That or he made it up. * Trune blinks, "...That's awesome!" * Saki has the decency to look ... embarrassed. Frankly, on her, it looks bizarre. "... yes. I think they managed to get whisks banned from formal competition for being unusual and cruel." * Vytor chuckles * Tanan looks at the coaster and laughs. "I see." The tines! The tines! Lament! Whisks? Oh dear. See? If you can't trust widom imparted from a coaster, then good be civilization? < * Vytor polishes off the last of his beer, and eyes the pitcher * Saki finishes off her food dutifully before sitting back with her mug, looking quite satisfied for herself. After a moment of pleasant laziness she's turning on the bench to survey the town layout. "... that does remind me; I need to loosen up and practice a little after this. I don't much like having nothing to do." * Trune polishes off his food as well, looking content. Your best bet to find an open area is in the plaza. Most of the time its used for public shows and the like. It might be big enough for what you want. * Angie tilts the pitcher with one finger. "I'm about done if you're looking for a refill, there." She sloshes around the last few suds in her glass, then tips it and sucks them down noisily. "Gotta stay alert, in case of future explodings." I won't say no to a second. * Tanan pokes at his food, picking out certain bits and leaving the rest ...Am I a horrible person for suddenly wondering what kind of drunk the Prophetess would be? No, its just means you're warped beyond mortal ken. ;) ...Yes, but you're not alone. * Saki nods once, still turned away from Vytor and surveying the square, before turning back around and sinking into her seat again. Apparently practice can wait a couple of minutes. After a few moments she breathes out a pleasant sigh and gives verdict. "... very interesting. Hearty. Fills you up." She frowns just a little. "... tasted slightly brown." Oh, okay, good then. Glad to know where I stand! * Vytor pours himself a few fingers of beer from the pitcher Brown is a very pub flavor. Its the gravy. Yeah, this stuff's not bad. * Vytor downs the last of his beer. * Saki tilts her head, burying a hand in her hair. "... not sure how well I could do it on the road. Stewing's tough when you're on the road all day." * Trune is gone (omg food?) * Trune is now known as Trune-away Obviously we need to find a way to hook up some heat to something up top for you. That way you can sit up there and cook to your heart's content. Too much gravy's not good for travelling anyways. Yeah, that's just about a lost cause. Althooooooogh...we do have a nice dry secure space in the Destiny, don't we? I think it's full of your stuff right now Yeah, the cargo area. Why? * Saki stares dully at Ryllan for a few moments, then screws her eyes up. "... please don't. I can just imagine Niri and Trune wanting shooting flames out the top of the Destiny." * Angie barks, "Ha! That's only half of it. You should see what I take on sea voyages." * Vytor gives Angie a flat, disbelieving look, then mutters, "We're going to need a trailer at this rate." I could actually see that being useful. The flames. And the trailer. Sadly, I can too You lost me on the flames It's only a matter of time before something horrible attacks the top of the thing. I guess if there were, like enemies on top of the destiny we could burn them? Oh! Or we could use it to inflate a hot air balloon. For someone who earlier wanted to travel without getting attack, flinging gouts of flame into the air is not a good way to travel inconspicuously. Well, not all the time. Just.. if needed. I mean, put an on/off on it Jack did want to make a flying machine, but turning the Destiny into a blimp was not what he had in mind. It /could/ work, to be fair. It'd be powerful, crude, and prone to failure, but I'm sure it /could/ work. It'd also be a really big "SMITE ME" sign for the Prophetess and her cronies. We could hide it. Not while flying As what? A condor with severe digestion problems? * Saki is regarding Angie with slight confusion. When curiosity gets the better of her, she pipes up. "How far have you travelled already?" Exactlly. * Vytor pushes his mug away, and flags down the waitress for the bill I think evetyone's done hee, yes? * Tanan is now known as Etir Yeah, I'm good. * Etir (~Nehn@24.239.126.40) Quit (Quit: ) Angie is satisfied. Your puny village will be spared. Thank you so much ;) * Ryllan snrks, "Yeah, I'm good. * Angie shoves her chair back and stands up in one motion, stretching. * Vytor takes the bill from the waitress, scratches some notes on it, then returns it to the waitress. "Thank you." All right, would you like the guided tour, or just head back to my place to set up camp, as it were? * Saki shrugs one shoulder as she stands, quickly working out kinks in her back. Tour'd be good. I wouldn't mind having a poke around, if you're up for it. *One corner of her mouth curls mirthfully.* I'm all pretending this is a vacation and ignoring all the guards and the sense of impending doom. Let's get souvenirs! I see no problem with a tour then. Let's be off. * Vytor stands and stretches languidly, limbering up after the good chow he's had. If nothing else, we have to figure out the lay of the land. Folow me then. * Vytor sets off at a decent pace, opening the door for everyone. * Saki saunters out. She's lost that vaguely hunted look; apparently good food will do wonders. * Ryllan follows along, brisk and business-like. OK, right now we're in the business district. Most of the shops are found here, save for the marketplace. This is where you'd be most likely to do your souvenier shoppinh, unless you're into produce. Don't expect to find anything fancy though, as this is a farming town. * Trune-away is back (gone: 25mins 9secs) * Trune-away is now known as Trune * Angie is now known as Gayo|Gone * Vytor walks a bit further, and points to his right towards a hill, deeply terraced as if a flattened staircase for giants. * Ryllan looks up at the hill. There is the terraced farming plots. The heavy grooves you see are irrigation lines that flow down from the top of the hill. There's the exit point of a spring up there. * Saki looks around the town with a careful eye; after a bit it becomes obvious she's checking guard coverage. This represents our emergency farming plots if the city is besiged, or something. Let's hope that doesn't happen. If you look up there, you'll see a Guard Tower. Gives us a decent view of the surroundings. * Vytor keeps walking through the hustle and bustle that is the business district Over in that direction *points* is the main gate of the city. Most everything moves along this main thuroughfaire right here. So step lively, and watch for the occasional cowpie. * Saki raises one eyebrow, but has immaculate footing either way. * Trune blinks and checks the bottom of his shoes, then nods to himself and continues. As you may notice, the city is kind of a circular shape build around that terraced hillside we saw earlier. Most everything is situated on the southern side, as it gets more sunlight. * Zack is now known as ZackAFK Main gate. How many alternatives? There are lesser west and east gates. The south gate is the biggest. Hm. We are now crossing the Cleftworks bridge, one of two large bridges that cross the River Raculi. The river runs through town from the hills to the north, and is a secondary water source and barge highway for good leaving town. <> How does the water enters? < Precipitation? ;) There's a heavy gate on the north end of town that the river passes through to enter the town. The wall is designed to let the water in through small channels. The river comes in on the north end of the town, winds west around the hill, and exits on the southeastern side of town through the port gates. The idea of a river running through a town doesn't seem overly smart to me, but I didn't build this place. * Saki frowns around at the town, seemingly back into her funk. Through this archway here, is the marketplace. This is where you go to get foodstuffs. You can find lots of things here, but be prepared to haggle for it. Also, watch your moneypouches, pickpockets like to come here. You can find fresh fish here, but they're going to be small riverfish at best. The ocean's too far away for anything else. You can get crawdads easily though. Plentiful little bastards. * Saki nods absently, eying the walls and townspeople. * Vytor winds his way through the crowds and many stalls, ignoring the barkers shouting what's for sale. Any questions so far? Nah, not really! * Saki mutters to herself for a moment, then nods. "Gates. Any others besides the main?" East and West, saki. Do try to keep up. * Saki stops dead, frowns a little more, and then murmurs to herself for good measure. Then with a curt nod, she keeps walking. "... lot on my mind." Through this arch here, lies the residential area, and my home. This way. * Vytor winds his way through various intersections Over there is the orphanage. I spent a little time there myself actually. It sees less use now though, as orphans aren't as common as they used to be. Thankfully. Huh, really? It is a nice place, orphanage wise? * Saki lingers there a moment, watching the door of the orphanage hawkishly before continuing on her path. I guess its nice enough. Its hard to say being in an orphanage is nice. Depends on who's in charge. Its run by a woman named Miranda. Nice person. Grandmotherly. Most of the children there were found abandoned in the wastes. If you really want to make them smile, a good adventure story is all you need. :) * Trune smiles slightly, "Noted." This way, almost there now. * Vytor starts moving towards a rockier portion of the hillside, and up one of the winding paths leading to houses dotting the hillside. * Vytor stops in front of one of the few two-story houses, "Here we are!" * Saki looks up at the house appreciably. "... nice place." Thank you. * Trune whistles, "Indeed." * Vytor rummages in his pocket, and unlocks the door, "Make yoursevles at home." (The house is indeed two stores, but half of it rises unobstructed to the roof The open half is the main living area, while the other portions of the house must be in the half enclosed by the large upstaris loft.) Go ahead and hang your coats up on the hooks there on the wall. * Trune hangs up his coat, as Vytor instructs him to, "Really nice place you've got, Vy." For those who need to use it, there's a bathroom down the hallway there, or one up the stairs in the loft. * Saki pauses at the door, then tilts her head with a frown. "... I'm going to head to the plaza, and practice. ... I feel a little on-edge." I like it a lot. Its awfully big for just myself and Tilea, so I like having guests. Tilea... * Trune looks confused, "Wait, your sister right?' OK Saki, we'll be here if you need us. Yep, that's her. She's studying now, so I doubt we'll see her at all. Studying? For what? * Saki nods, then makes some attempt at a grin. "I'll be around. ... Later." and then she's heading off to the centre of town. * Vytor thinks, "Majoring in Applied Field Mathematics and Advanced Kymonic Theories, I beleive." * Trune balks, "Crap, that's a mouthful to say." Yeah, don't ask me to expalin it though. I can't. I won't. * ZackAFK is now known as Zack Around this corner here is the kitchen and dining area. And if things get too cold, tell me and I'll crank up the geothermals. Nah..s'fine. * Huw (htjones@192.168.0.31) Quit (Ping timeout) Now, considering we got nine people here now...I think I can find room for everyone to sleep. Just remember: two bathrooms. So don't get crazy with the shower time. * Trune grins, "Ya hear that Niri? Save some of the hot water for us gentlemen." You might not have to worry about me, Vyt. * Huw (htjones@192.168.0.31) has joined #lunar-iog2 * ChanServ sets mode: +v Huw Oh? I'd be more comfortable doing what we came here to do, no offense. Your place /is/ lovely, but it's too far from our priority for my liking. None taken. But in case the Prophetess takes a week getting here, I'll have a place to sleep for you. We do need to sleep now and then, Ry. Go ahead and look around, I'll get some things prepped for everyone. * Vytor heads into the back areas for the linen closet. I think I'll look around too. There were some places I wanted to see up close. Still, Trune. I'd be more comfortable nearer to the Cloister. Hell, I'll sleep on a pew if I have to. Go for it. If you get lost, just aks for the Dunbar residence. You need anything while I'm out? Want some company, Trune? I wouldn't mind getting a closer look at some parts myself. Sure, I'm game Ryllan. * Potted_Admin is now known as Stelas (The party breaks up to explore Raculi. But the threat of the Prophetess looms large, larger than even the impressive walls of New Raculi itself.) ==FINAL TO LUDE EXISTS!
