Session Start: Sun Sep 17 20:39:34 2000 - Pandora, Rhiana's Home | Undine's Day, Night - We last left the group gathering at the home of the singer Rhiana Athena, and formulating their plans to head to the water Palace at the King's behest. However, there was one thing left undone, the visit to a certain Black Market. While some sleep, others awaken to see this exotic place... Rachel stalks the hallway, her mind heavy with recent thoughts... as she turns the corner into the darkened living room she hears a gentle sob. * Rachel pauses and raises an eyebrow slowly...she remembers that Cody was in the living room and edges out into view. * Cody's head is resting against the post of the sofa, his shoulders shaking slightly, as if crying. * Rachel brushes her hair from her eyes, her mood darkening further at his sadness. "Cody...?" * Cody looks up suddenly, sniffling. "Wh...Rachel?" * Rachel smiles faintly. "You alright? What's up?" * Cody looks down and blushes a bit, angrily wiping the tears away. "No...No...I'm fine. Something...something in my eye..." Must be something rather big, then, huh? Don't act all tough, Cody, only jerks pretend they don't cry. It's alright, you know. * Rachel sits down beside Cody slowly and eyes him. * Cody looks up at her, blinking. "You...you mean..." He shakes his head. "I don't want to burden you with my problems...It's just..." Hey...I'm your friend, right? You can talk to me. No, really, that's why I was born with ears. :) Friend... * Cody sighs, leaning against the couch. "It's just...Rachel...do you have bad dreams a lot?" * Rachel nods. "Yep. All the time. Why?" ...Because I have them all the time too -_-; And...I'm afraid to sleep at night. * Cody chuckles darkly. "You must find me pretty weak for telling you that...Being scared of dreams..." * Rachel shakes her head and laughs. "Cody...if anything you're pretty fucking strong...not many guys would have the balls to admit they're afraid of anything, let alone dreams." ...Seriously? If I told anyone that back at home...I'd be clobbered until I was black and blue. -_-; Yeah well, I hate to tell you, but I'm not 'back at home', I'm here and I understand you perfectly. * Cody smiles a little, looking Rachel straight in the eyes. "Thank you...that means a lot to me..." From behind you, you hear some noise, and see Keylia standing in the corner of the hall. * Rachel blinks and doesn't reply to Cody, turning to look at Keylia. Man... I should take a picture. ^_- * Cody blushes. "Ah... ^^; No. I have bad morning hair!" ^^; * Rachel flushes hotly. "Hey. Stuff it, oh silent and fluffy." * Rachel stands ^^; * Rahne mumbles and rolls over. "I'll take... Zzzz... Hodgepodge for $800, Alex... Zzzzzz..." Her tail thumps lightly on the floor for a moment.. * Rachel rubs her neck and looks like she hasn't slept at all. ^^; * Meira peeks into the room, kitty ears twitching. "Silent and fluffy? Did you know I was listening in?" Ah god. * Rachel sighs. ^^; "ooc: Buck. " * Cody aghs and throws Rhiana's blanket over his head. ^^ * Keylia smirks... * Rachel looks at Keylia as if wanting to say something but coughs and looks at her feet. "Anyway...when is breakfast served at this rather intimidatingly large home?" I'm not here! ^^; Ignore me! * Meira steps into the room and smiles, tail swishing behind her. "But I can hear you..." =^^= * Rhiana blinks at the top of the stairs. "Intimidatingly large? Not really." Uhh... Rache... you do realize breakfast isn't for a loooong time yet. * Rachel's stomach makes a rather loud rumbling noise and she realizes she hasn't eaten for many days. Uh.. ^^; It's about midnight. :) I'm hungry? * Rachel looks cute. ^^; Wanna pick up some exotic foods while we go? *grin* * Meira looks puzzled at Rachel. "I'm supposed to know?" =^^=;; * Rhiana snickers, "You know, girlie charms don't work on me, Rachel, was it?" Sure, Key. ;) Girlie charms? O_o * Rachel blinks at Rhiana. O_o * Rahne sits up, rubbing her eyes. "What's with all the noise so late?" -_-; * Niki is sleeping soundly in her room. "Zzzzzzzzzzz..." Of course, no charms work on me. ...comes with the territory, I guess. * Rachel heads over beside Keylia, her stomach again protesting. ^^; ...what time is it anyway? * Meira shrugs. "This kitty doesn't carry a time telling device..." Midnight like Key said. ^_- What am I a record? It's nearly midnight. ^^; You're wanting breakfast at night? I'm going to look for Chrys... Ahhh...food can wait, really. ^^; I toldja before, you don't have to come. But hey, knock yourselves out. ^^ * Rahne gets to her feet, and in a half-sleepy daze, heads over towards the rest of the group. "What's happening? Why so much commotion?" ...well, I have things to eat...if you want. * Rhiana comes down the stairs. I'm coming. ^_- We don't want you to ravage him too early. Uh... We're going now? ^^; * Rachel shakes her finger at Key. * Cody is still under the blanket, trying to hide. ^^; * Rhiana folds her arms, "So you're going with her instead?" Yeh, why not. ;) Hoho... don't worry so much Rachel. ^_^ * Cody pulls the blanket off his head. "Okay. I'll come with you, if you don't mind." ^^; * Meira makes a jump for Rahne, trying to hug her. "Morning! ...or... is it night? Anyway. You're up and it's a greeting!" =^^= * Rhiana stretches, "Then I'll go back to sleep." * Rahne, not being quite awake, falls over backwards! "I... wha...?" O_o * Rachel prods Key gently in the side. "Of course I worry, someone hasta make sure you don't fall off the earth." ;) * Meira lands on top Rahne, kitty tail swishing happily behind her. "I said morning Rahne!" =^^= * Rahne sits up, her ears flat against her head, and teeth gritted. "It's the middle of the night." -_- I'm sure I'm not going to fall off for quite some time... I'm still young! ;) Obviously. ;) Anyway! Cody, you're coming? Awesome. ^_- * Rahne is beginning to look miserable and dejected. "What's going on? Would someone tell me, please?" She sighs. Anyway...I guess I"ll be going to my room... * Cody nods and waves. "Unless it's a problem." ^^; * Meira sweatdrops a little. "Ok.. Middle of the night Rahne!" =^^=;; We're heading to the Black Market, Rahne. Be careful in the black market. * Cody stands up. "If you want to come, that's fine..." ^^ * Keylia nods. "I know what I'm doing... but I'm worried Chrys is going to do something stupid." Well... I'm kinda dead to the world... and I'm not really good with things like Black Markets, and things... I'd just be in the way... Chrys? Do something stupid? Unheard of. ^_- Don't worry, we'll find your boytoy. * Cody looks down and blushes suddenly at the mention of Chrys, shuffling his feet. Chrys...he uh... * Cody sighs and shakes his head. Naaaahh... nothing to be good at, walk around and buy things, it's shopping. =^^= * Rachel blinks and looks at Cody. ^^; I think he might have stolen from me again... ^^; * Cody blushes more. God, what? ^^: What this time? * Cody blushes absolute crimson. "My...he took my...(quietly) underwear." O_o Uhm? ^^;;; Nothing! * Rachel shoots Keylia in amused look before looking at Cody. * Meira kitty ears perk up, sensitive to sound you know. "He stole your underwear? GROSS!!!" ^^; I don't know why, either. It's not special underwear or anything. But let's go find him. ^^;;; * Cody toddles out the door. ^^: * Rhiana heads back up the stairs, "Don't forget about me...come back." * Rachel laughs. ^^; Don't worry Rhiana... we won't break anything. ;) * Meira hops to her feet and pads out the door, turning to motion Rahne to follow * Rachel feels her mood lighten considerably and motions for Key to go ahead of her! No... I'll stay here... I'd just be in the way, and I don't want to draw any undue attention... * Cody pops his head out the door, and waves to Rahne. "Okay...see you later...we'll be back." ^_^ * Rahne's tail swishes and she waves back. "Kay. Be safe." ^^ * Meira runs back in, trying to tug at Rahne's arm. "Come on.. I don't wanna be alone!" =^^= Move it, commandoboy ;) ^^; Sorry... * Cody walks back outside. * Keylia sighs... ^^; * Rahne looks to Meira. "You've got lots of companions to go with, Miss Cadence. You'll be fine without me." Give the poor girl a break... she wants her beauty sleep, kitty. ;) * Meira ears droop. "Okay... but, I'll try and bring you back something, ok?" =^^= The joys of being a teamleader. ;) * Rachel trots outside! Keylia walks out into the night air... * Meira dashes out the door again, catching up with the rest * Rahne goes and flops back down on a couch, tail sticking up at an ungainly angle. "Kay... sounds good..." * Rahne passes out again. - Kingdom of Pandora | Undine's Day, Night - The small group heads out into the still night... you can see almost the whole city is at a standstill. The stars twinkle on happily, knowing something that the world apparently does not. * Cody looks up at the stars and nightlights of the city. " I've never been in a city at night like this..." ^^; * Rachel crosses her arms as she wanders onward, starting to get nervous again. It's sort of quiet though...hey...Rachel? What's wrong? Rachel, you going to be alright? * Meira walks along, staring up at the sky for the most part, but occasionally looking around at the silent surroundings to make sure she doesn't bump into things. Erm, yea...I'm fine...just...keep going...don't...uh... ^^; * Rachel makes little shooing motions. You sure? *blinks* I got your back girl. Don't worry. :) * Keylia starts off down a street, for the west part of town... * Cody follows Keylia. "Have you been to the Black Market before, Rachel?" * Rachel grins faintly at Key before tugging her cape slightly up around her face, following Key. "Uhhh...no....I wasn't allo...I mean..." * Rachel coughs. "I've never had the chance." * Meira speaks to herself "Hmm... I wonder what I'll get tonight... maybe it'll be some nice clothes... or a weapon, or food!" =^^= Oh...Well, we'll see it for the first time together, then. ^^; * Cody coughs and blushes. ^^: I guess. ^_- * Keylia turns a corner, and slows a bit, whispering near Rachel. "Don't worry so much...we're outta here by morning anyway." * Rachel blinks and nods a bit to Keylia, murmuring back. "Yeah, but even that's not soon enough..." * Meira looks a bit puzzled "Say... what're we doing in the black market anyway?" Looking for Chrys. ^^; * Meira sniffles, looking sad "Aww... no shopping?" =;_;= Well...what can you buy here? O_o I thought Black Markets usually sold stuff that was illegal. You can buy women, Cody, if you want. ;) Well duh! That's why they're named black markets! They sell stuff you know... thus why it has market attached to the phrase. =^^= Well... they do. but we're here to look for clues. Buy...buy women? O_O You're not serious! * Rachel chuckles softly. ^^ I could never do that! :/ * Meira raises her hands to her face, shaking her head side to side. "Iieee!! I hope they don't try to kidnap and sell me!" * Rachel chews on her bottom lip a little, her gaze turning serious as she tunes out the others. Besides...I don't have any money. ^^; Not that I would! I wouldn't! :/ * * Cody shuts up because he's digging himself into a hole. ^^ Well, I'm not in the market for a sexy slave right now... ^_- You don't need money most of the time =^^= Besides, I've got Chrys. Keylia follows the street, coming to a large house that seems way to brightly lit. Hmm... I think this is where the passage is. The market's underground... I gotta see this. ^^ * Rachel raises her eyebrow faintly but doesn't say anything. * Cody sticks close to Rachel, since the Market seems to scare her. ^^: * Meira looks the house over, squinting a bit from the contrast in light from it's surroundings, not seeming worried or scared in the least. Keylia leads you up the path to a door set in the side of the building. She takes a deep breath, and calmly knocks. There's a short pause, then the door opens a crack, a small man with a toothy grin looking at the group. [Man] Hoo... what's the password missy? * Meira waves happily to him. * Cody shrinks back from the man. O_o * Heather gazes at the man warily, her hand drifting to the hilt of her sword... Don't get any ideas... it's Luc, and you know it :) [Man] Do I ever... come on in! * Cody waves timidly. "Yeah...uh...Luc. ^^; Hehe. Good. Uh..." * Meira bounces happily. "Yay! We get to go shopping!" He opens the door, as you can see it leads to a tunnel under the building. * Rachel nods and continues to keep her hand on the hilt of her sword. ^^; The market should be just through here, but you gotta be careful, ok? Shopping's fine, just remember where it comes from. ;) ^^; I wonder what kind of herbs they sell here. Probably all narcotics. :/ Ugh. * Meira nods, following Keylia "I know.. and I'll be careful!" =^^= * Keylia descends into the basement tunnel, brushing aside the money grubbing old geezer. * Cody follows Keylia. [Man] Hey, if you're looking for herbs... I have a sweet de.. Ouch. hey, how rude for a lady! * Meira patpats the old man on the head with a smile. ^^; No thanks! The Man smiles at Meira, oogling her for a hearty moment. ;) * Rachel stays quiet, her cloak draped over her head. ^^; * Meira waves to him as she continues to follow. - Pandoran, Black Market | Undine's Day, Nighttime - You walk a couple hundred feet, until eventually, the path winds upwards, out of the cement tunnel. And suddenly, you're placed in the mother of all flea markets. o_O Lights, people, colored banners... it's a virtual cacophony of trade. Wow...incredible! O_o * Chrys is in a nearby stall, shouting out like an overly calm auctioneer. "C'mon, folks! Step riiight up! Right here's the one and only Mana Sword! The very thing that slew beast upon beast...NOW it can be yours for just 5000 luc! Or how about this, the one and only Chibiko Hammer! Party fun like you wouldn't believe as your friends are shrunk to half their size! Only 3000 luc!" * Meira 's eyes light up. "Wooooowww! I can do a lot of shopping here!" You immediately pick out Chry's voice in the muddle. ^^ * Cody turns around to Chrys' voice. "Hey...isn't that...?" Too bad he isn't selling your underwear, Cody. ;) * Meira ears twitch, and turn toward Chrys, running up to his booth. "Are you serious?" Hmm... maybe I just misplaced it -_-; [Tough Guy] The Mana Sword huh?! * Chrys grins. "Of course, little lady." * Meira smiles "Can I see it?" =^^= [Tough Guy] 4000 Luc or nothing! * Chrys looks up to the tough guy. "If you can't kill the first mana beast you see with it, you get double your money back." * Cody wanders towards Chrys' voice, and tries to see what exactly he has out on the item table. ^^ * Chrys hmms. "4500." You hear another man dealing in fine linens, arguing with a few customers. * Keylia wideyes. "Oh come ON." Looks like your boytoy has a steady job, Key. ;) * Chrys has a table which seems to be sporting quite a bit of weaponry, a few fine ceramics, and of course, a little squeaky-mallet looking thing. [Tough Guy] 4300 and I don't kill ya! ...You drive a hard bargain, sir. 4300 it is. * Meira motions to Chrys to lean in for a whisper "C'mere =^^=" The hardy warrior slaps down the money and swipes the sword. ^^ * Cody tries to get a closer look at Chrys' 'Mana Sword', hiding behind the burly man. Thank you, sir! Come again to Chrys' Chop Shop! ^-^ [Linen Dealer] I assure you, this just came in... perfect camouflage for your work! (w) What does that tag say...? "Made in Tiwan?" O_o What? * Meira waves her hands to get Chrys' attention. "Heeey! I want to tell you something!" Chrys catches a familiar piece of fabric out of the corner of his eye. ^^ * Chrys looks to Meira, and then tilts his head to the right, trying to notice something... [Wierd Man] But I don't need outer wear... I need unmentionables. :P * Meira gets a sly grin on her face, leaning toward Chrys to whisper "I know that sword's fake... want me to go tell that big burly guy you cheated him?" =^^= [Linen Dealer] Oh, well then my sick friend, how about these lovely skivvies... hot off the streets! ^_- Cody sees HIS underwear for Sale! o_O * Cody turns toward the Linen dealer, wondering... ^^; HEY! O_O * Rachel laughs! * Chrys blinks. "I'll be right with you, ma'am..." * Cody rushes to the table. "Hey! Where did you get those!" [Wierd man] I don't want a guy's!! Panties or nothing! Cody knocks over the wierd fellow ^^ Where did you get those! >:/ [Linen Dealer] Wha.. uh.. what ever do you mean sir? I assure you my sources are all very credible! * Meira puffs her cheeks in a cute frustration. "Don't ignore me!" * Chrys shrugs and turns back to Meira, and then lowers his head a bit to get a better view. "What can I get ya, ma'am?" * Keylia is really starting to wonder... ^^ What are you TALKING about! You STOLE those from me! Don't deny it! And you put me in a really, REALLY embarrassing spot! * Meira folds her arms under her chest. "I said, I'll go tell that man you sold the 'Mana Sword' to, that it's fake...." ...Why? What'd I do to you, babe? [Linen Dealer] Why I am a purveyor of fine goods! How rude! I'll have you know a lovely flaxen haired vixen sold these to me moments ago! What was her name? * Chrys twitches as he hears those words, but quickly dismisses them. * Meira waves a finger. "Nothing... but, I wont tell him if you give me the squeeky hammer." =^^="\ * Chrys hands the hammer to Meira. "Here ya go, miss. Free of charge." ^_- [Linen Dealer] I think she said it was Myria.n. she's well known here.. and a big supplier of mine! * Chrys coughs and wideeyes. * Meira smiles happily, and bop/squeeks it on Chrys' head. "Thank you!" Now if you'll excuse me for a moment... Myria huh...? Great. Remind me to yell at her. -_-; And I'll take those! * Cody picks up all his underwear! ^^; * Chrys rushes over to Cody, grabbing the linen dealer. "WHO?!" [Linen Dealer] Why, she also dropped off this lovely thieving we-GACK! O_o Chrys! * Meira follows Chrys, bopping all the people she passes, giggling cutely. * Chrys twitches QUITE visibly. "And...WHY...are...my...CLOTHES...on...sale...?" O_o Those are yours? [Linen Dealer] It was Myria! She dropped off her latest shipment earlier tonight! I'm going to go kill that woman...! -_-; * Chrys twitches worse then before. "Don't, Cody." * Cody shakes his fist in a very non-threatening way. ^^; ...Where... Where is she... [Linen Dealer] She's long gone, Chrys... she's out for her next big fashion killing, no doubt.. But she STOLE my underwear! Who would be sick enough to do that? [Linen Dealer] But why would she steal from you? You're a member! Doesn't she KNOW it's against the code to steal from fellow members...? * Meira repeatedly bop bops the Linen dealer cutely, making lots of squeaks. "You're a nasty man to sell nasty stained used underwear that a sweaty smelly man has used... Eeeeewwww!!" ...She say where she got the stuff? * Cody blushes. "I...I'm not sweaty! ^^;' [Linen Dealer] I didn't know Chrys... take it back... and sorry to your apprentice there! ^^; The merchant gets bopped x_X Apprentice...? O_o Hey! I'm...er... *sigh* * Meira looks at Cody, not stopping her bopping. "Well not now you're not... but I bet you can't help it on hot days." Not a problem (m to Cody) play along or we're gonna get our ass kicked (normal) Not a problem at all. * Cody shrugs. "I...um...guess so Meria?" ^^; * Keylia has started mingling with the crowd chatting with some men.. she promptly slaps one of em. * Cody grins, almost...devilishly. "Oh yeah, but I'm not the apprentice. Chrys is." ^^ * Rachel blinks and watches Key through the crowd. Okay...I'll not let out word of this, on one account, Hasim. [Linen Dealer] Miss, please stop damaging my money maker! ^^ * Chrys puts the linen dealer down. "I need some info." * Cody blinks at the name. O_o * Meira suddenly stops bopping the guy. "Meira's bored with this! I'm gonna go shopping at whatever's close to us." =^^= . o O ( So I'm not the only one stuck with that stupid name? What do you know...? ^_^ ) * Hasim dusts himself off. "Your associates are strange.. what do you need to know?" Two things. Firstly, do you know where Myria's going to next? * Cody looks around, wondering where Rachel ran off to. I just know she took a ship out of town before nightfall. * Rachel is sorta blending in, staying in the shadows... And I think she mentioned Potos before.. * Meira shops around at close stores, trying to get the guys to give her stuff based on her looks and cuteness alone, sticking near the group so she doesn't get lost, drawing a bit of a crowd of onlookers at times. * Chrys twitches. "Back to her old stomping grounds?" A few people throw money at Meira thinking she's an act. :) * Chrys shrugs. "Anyways. Second. Nakano Takeda. I need to know everything you know about the name." * Cody wanders around, rather aimlessly. ^^; * Meira stuffs the money down her bra for lack of pockets and to draw more money. "Thank you! =^^=" * Cody then stops, hearing Chrys. ^^; Ah, but Chrys, my friend... I don't know everything! The name doesn't strike me! * Chrys shrugs. "Fair enough. Know any info-mongers in the market? I don't get out much, what with my being a vendor and all." But I'm sure Khan Baybar would know... if you want to travel to Kakkara that is. * Rachel drifts around the market, her hood clutched tight... Kakkara, hmm...? That's quite a bit away, but...if that's what it'll take... Kakkara...That's so far from here...-_-; >> Meira earns 50 Luc! :D * Chrys nods. "Fine then. Tell the headsman that I'm taking a trip and won't be back for a while. He's free to rent out my stall." * Meira bounces around the stores again, seeing what she can get for 50 luc, if she even needs to use it, zipping around in the background." =^^= * Rachel stops at a stall filled with small trinkets, narrowing her eyes faintly as she examines the pieces... * Cody stops where Rachel is. "See anything you like...?" Is that so... going on a big sting? Bring me whatever fine textiles you might procure! * Rachel jumps and wideyes, flailing faintly before realizing that it's just Cody. "Uh! Jeez. You're so quiet. And not really, I'm just kinda attracted to shiny things." Not a problem, Hasim...so long as you don't take any more unmentionables from Myria. * Rachel casts him a wry look * Meira bounces up next to Rachel, breasts full of her money. "Hello again!" =^^= A Neko steps out to regard Rachel... :) [Neko Merchant] Puurfectly priceless gems on sale! :) ^^; * Rachel glances at Meira before looking at the Neko curiously. "How much for your onyx charms?" It is my word as a man of the desert, Chrys! A thief of thieves is certainly the most disreputable thing. ^^ * Hasim straightens his robes and courts more customers. :) * Chrys walks off to gather his compadres. [Neko Merchant] Hmm... how does 200 Luc for that charm strike you, meow? Have anything for 50 luc? =^^= 200...Luc? * Rachel looks thoughtful... ^^; [Neko Merchant] Less for less... I have many smaller gems from the meowtins of Mandala. * Chrys walks up to Rachel. * Cody fishes through his pockets, and puts 200 Luc on the table! O_o "I'll buy that for her." ^^ * Rachel blinks and sweatdrops, looking at Cody. * Chrys passes back and forth the bag and pushes back Cody's money. "Nonsense." Huh...? O_o * Rachel glances behind her, past her gathered cohorts, and searches the crowds with her eyes looking for Keylia. The merchant looks on as the two fight. "I have a purrfect collection for couples..." Ooh... are you buying presents for everyone? Can I have one too? =^^= * Chrys steps up. "I'll buy the onyx for the lady, and whatever else I can get for 4000 luc for my...apprentice, here." Couples...? O_o But we're not... * Rachel sweatdrops. Chrys! O_O You don't have to do that! Rachel spots Keylia again coming back to everyone. :) * Meira pouty lips "Don't I get anything? Everyone else is getting something..." * Rachel exhales softly. Oh, and one of the 150 luc rubies for the neko-mon over there. ^_- [Neko Merchant] Chrys... you have a newbie? I'll give a discount... :) Hey, all the better. ^_^ * Rachel begins to feel a tad bit claustrophobic. ^^; * Rachel, in all the shopping excitement, has also dropped her cloak to reveal her features. ^^; >> Chrys purchases Onyx Charm! Ruby Earring! :) * Meira looks cute and pouty, hoping to get something too. T-thanks, Chrys? ^^; * Chrys hands the charm to Rachel and the earring to Meira. "No problem. Consider it a gift from Cody." Thank you Chrys... ^^ * Rachel runs her finger over the smooth stone and nods, smiling faintly at Cody before putting it in her traveling bag! * Chrys shrugs. "Hey, what can I say?" [Neko Merchant] You still have a lot of money Chrys... good day... *purr*? * Meira smiles big, leaning one side of her head down to put the earring on one of her kitty ears. "Thank you!" Fairly. Surprising how many people out there think there's still such a thing as the Mana Sword... * Rachel idly backs out of the stall, kinda feeling crowded. ^^; . o O ( But in a way, it's almost like Chrys bought it for her. *sigh* I'm being selfish... ) * Meira blinks at Chrys. "You don't believe in the Mana Sword?" You don't believe in the Mana Sword? [Neko Merchant] Well, if it still exists, I bet it's purriceless... do you want something for yourself? A protection charm? * Chrys shrugs. "Sure, it existed...but after the crap that happened 20 years ago, you think it's still around...?" * Meira swats Cody in the head with the squeeky mallet "Jinx!" =^^= Hmm. How much? ^_- * Cody chuckles a bit at Meria. "I guess so." ^^ * Rachel continues to back up, until she's a few feet from the group ^^; * Meira swats him again. "Nope! You can't speak while jinxed!" * Rachel exhales! * Cody blinks. O_o [Neko Merchant] You still have 3000 left of this... how about my best necklace. It protects from Magic, meow. * Cody pokes Rachel. ^^; Rachel bumps right into Keylia. None of that cursed stuff, right? Remember, it's not fair to cheat a thief! ^_- Woah there. ;) * Rachel gets poked and jumps faintly, stumbling back against Key! Aah O_o * Cody aaghs and falls backwards! O_o The Neko Merchant hisses "Are you calling me a liar? It's real! Made in Wendel it's said!" Wendel, eh? Well, I trust most of you enough...Sorry, I'm just a little wary after some of the stuff this week... Sure, I'll take it. ^_^ * Keylia steadies Rachel for a minute. "Easy, easy." * Rachel coughs and flushes faintly. ^^; "Sorry...uh...fancy meeting you here?" The neko reaches under the counter, and hands Chrys a necklace with a strange emerald gem in it. * Cody has fallen back into an abandoned stall, and is currently twitching. ^^; >> Chrys gets Shield Necklace! (Resist +10). :) * Chrys looks at it for a minute, pockets it, and hands the neko the rest of his cash. "Thanks!" ^_^ * Meira bounces from foot to foot. "Oooh! That's pretty!" * Chrys turns around. "Well then. We seem to have all just clumped around here." [Neko Merchant] Shiny... and real... thank you! Well, I got the info... seems I came up kinda empty though. * Chrys looks over his shoulder and winks. "Not a problem! Always the best from the one and only Soryuu!" But I do know they spotted a Ninja, and some other wierdos around. A ninja? ^^; Maybe that's our Nakano, eh? * Rachel nods faintly before heading over to Cody, idly helping him up. "Possibly...we should get outta here...." * Chrys looks back to Keylia. "I have a bit of a lead... Up to a bit of a trip to Kakkara if the ninja isn't who you think it is?" Hey sure, I just gotta buy some moisturizer for my skin in that desert heat... hehe. Anyway, let's get back. :) Yeah. Good idea. ^^; * Meira pouty faces. "Aww.. we're done shopping?" Yeah. ^_- Oh, by the way, Key.. ^_^ If it's about those fake Mana swords, I won't tell. ^_- * Chrys hands Keylia a gold necklace that happened to be left over from his wares. "I saved this for ya." ^_- * Keylia gets a little surprised as Chrys drapes it over her neck. @_@ Guh...we're going now? *Twitch* You're handing out more presents? =^^= Wow... you're sure generous... ...Later, all right? Let's get out of here. I think our two friends here are getting stir crazy. ^_- * Keylia examines the jewelry a minute... * Rachel twitches. * Cody twitches in unison with Rachel. ^^; * Chrys starts to drag the twitching lovers along. Not exactly my color, but I never refuse a gift. ;) * Rachel slaps Chrys in the arm softly. ;P * Meira bounces along behind the others "It's rude to refuse a gift!" * Keylia plants a kiss on Chrys's cheek, and walks back to the exit. :) * Cody snaps out of his funk. "Um..." ^^; * Rachel follows Keylia... * Chrys stands there, briefly dumbed. :o * Cody follows the others. Oh of the stall masters gives Chrys a secret thumbs up. * Chrys gives a dazed thumbs up himself and then rushes off after the group. The group makes it's way down and out of Beverly Hil... er the Black Market. :) Meanwhile a brightly clad figure in red looks on from a corner of the fairground. [Red Figure] Ah, what a bittersweet night... I would do best to not waste this opportunity! ^_- The red man draws up his cloak and hops onto a building, vanishing. o_o ~~ Time passes ~~ :) - Kingdom of Pandora | Salamando's Day, Daytime - You return to Rhiana's home, and manage to get a decent night's sleep... It's not long before it's morning, and you're ready to set out into the wilderness! :D After gathering your things, and having a hearty meal, you end up at the north gates of Pandora. * Rachel didn't sleep well and didn't have a hearrty meal ;) So there. Nyah. ^ * Cody hands Rachel an apple saved from breakfast. ^^; So, you ready to head out, adventurers! Luka's awaiting! ;) You need to eat too! ^^: Thank you, Miss Athena, for putting us up for the night. Or rather, putting up with us for the night. ^^; Yes...thanks a lot. :) * Tori stretches and yawns loudly, then looks out to the land beyond the gate. * Rachel quietly sneaks the apple back into Cody's bag while he's talking to Rhiana. ^^; Heh, we got a lot more than just Luka to find. ^_- * Chrys elbows Rache. * Rhiana tucks some of her long red hair under her hat, "It wasn't a problem at all. Just make sure you tell people that, unlike popular belief, I don't have any handcuffs or anything of that nature at my house." * Rachel coughs and eyes Chrys in amusement * Niki looks at Keylia. "Who's Lucca?" * Cody takes out the apple and hands it back to Rachel. "^_- Nice try." "ooc: LoL! " "ooc: Yes, I spelled it like that on purpose. ;) " That's LuKa Niki. "ooc: Yes, that's right, children...come visit me! " * Rhiana is wearing another of her risky outfits, but what do you expect * Rachel sighs at the apple and dramatically presents it to Keylia! "Here, teamleader! Eat and be merry! Let us commence our wonderous journey!" Thats what I said. Lucca. It's Luka, and she's a Sage who lives at the Water Palace, a little bit to the north of here. "ooc: Keylia can sense how people spell the things they say! :D " * Cody sighs and looks down. "It's not like I poisoned it or anything..." ...What Rahne said. ;) * Meira yawns and streches "Yaaawwnnn... I could have used more sleep.." << I just used the date rape drug, jeez!>> Ooo...can we go swimming? :D brb, mom needs me Sure! But Undine might get pissed at you! ;) * Rhiana pulls her gloves tight, "So you want to go see Luka?" Keylia starts walking.. * Rachel pokes Cody. "Hey. It's okay. I appreciate it....I'm just not hungry right now." :) Who? My undies will get mad at me. I'll beat up my underwear if it does that! ..I have to warn you all, I'm not a very good..fighter...per say. * Rachel winks at him and wanders after Keylia. But you're never hungry! ^^; No offense or anything... The King asked us to go, and I bet she wants to know what's up too.. back * Cody follows Rachel. None taken, stud ;) ^^ Kay, Lady. * Rahne starts off towards the Water Palace. * "ooc: OJIIBOO CUTE " * Niki follows Keylia. <> I'm just not a fighter..even though I should be. "ooc: That whole exchange. ^_^ " *** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 4: Chasing Shadows | Location: Potos Road - North | Time: Salamando's Day, Daytime | 1135 Luc =-' <<^^;>> I don't know how to fight either, Miss Rhiana. ^^; So I don't mind. * Meira giggles at Niki, squeeking the mallet on her shoulder "Your undies are violent? Do they give you wedgies when you upset them? =^^=" * Rachel noticably relaxes after leaving Pandora O_o * Rachel trots alongside Keylia, keeping pace with her like they used to travel before. ^^ Just..Rhiana is fine. I'm not Miss. I know how to fight, Cody, I'm just not too good at it. Keylia swaggers along with her heavy arms as per usual. :) Master Joch always taught me that" combat is the last resort of the civilized being." There's nothing wrong with not being a fighter. * Niki looks at Meira. "I don't know. They never messed with me befor...*notices the ruby earring.* Wow...where did you get that? Oh...Okay...I didn't mean that you couldn't...nevermind. ^^: "ooc: Shit. " "ooc: LOL! " "ooc: In Roric speak, that translates to "Rahne is a pussy." " << ? >> "ooc: Niki + Meira = Pain and trouble for Chrys.

"It's funny...she says she's my friend...but she's always with Keylia...-_-;" WEll, do what you can Rhiana.. just don't fall behind. :) * Cody slaps his forehead. "I'm such a dork...!" << Rahne is actually proficient in the spear, and is an ideal fighter herself. Though she is not such for the sake of fighting. >> I'm trying not to think about a personal vendetta, miss Athena. Sorry. "ooc: Poor Cody....let me comfort you! " Wow, its all shiny. :D Do you have another one? <> "ooc: ^_^ He is. " "ooc: he'd be less jealous if he hadn't seen that pic. " * Meira shakes her head "Nope! I was only given one =^^=" Everyone stop calling me Miss...I'm not a blue blood...just a bar singer...Rhiana is fine. I feel much better now. ^^; "ooc: ^_^ Heh. " * Rachel whistles softly. ^^ Kay, Rhiana. * Meira squeeks the mallet on Niki again "I got this nice squeeky mallet too!" <> Oh...maybe I'll find one later on. :D If you asked me, you whacked that drunkard pretty damn well. I wodner if self-defense is taught to seedy bar singers nowadays.. I'm really terribly sorry, Mi-- Rhiana. ^^; ;) Let me see that hammer. :D * Cody looks back to Rahne and smiles. ^^: I know a few tricks, Madam Keylia. I had to learn self defense when you...look the way I do. "ooc: Hehe~! I MAKE YOU JEALOUS TOO, WOMAN! HAHA :D " * Rahne looks at Cody for a brief moment, before averting her eyes, but her tail is still swishing. * <> "ooc: Is Locke here? O_o he's been so quiet. " WEll, you're obviously real sure of yourself.. mroe women should be like me! ;) <> * Chrys looks at Cody and Rahne and bastes. "ooc: Ah. Is Tori not with the group? " "ooc: Wah! *Fidgits!* Wanna meet Roric! " Oh jeez, Key, as if the world doesn't have enough wild women already ;) "ooc: Tori IC is quiet. " * Tori scrapes gunk out of his eyes and trudges after the group, still tired As you trod up north on the path, you apss some woods.. << er pass >> "ooc: Yeah, but usually in these games it means he goes "..." constantly. ^_~ " I'm sure of myself in areas that I know I'm good at. "ooc: Leon! :D " "ooc: Like Joseph. ^_- " Self defense, I'm afraid, is not one of them "ooc: * Tori STANDS THERE LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES " "ooc: Leon! :D "Fuck you." " "ooc: *eats an apple ^^* " <> * Cody bends down quickly, and picks up a few leafy herb like things, sticking them in his bag. ^^; <<*mutters and removes a slut from her notify list*>> * Meira runs ahead a few feet, chasing a bird "ooc: Rachel: I met a guy yesterday who was from Sacramento! He wanted phone sex! " Someone explain something to me "ooc: Rache: Shall I tell Sarah you called her a slut? " * Rachel glances about warily. ^^ What in the hell is that thing. Yes, Rhiana? <<*glares at Chrys*>> * Rhiana points to Meiria "ooc: Quiet, Chrys! :O " <> "ooc: It WAS Sarah? Oops. Sorry ^^; " Meira misses catching the cute little thing, but she and everyone else spot a small tent not too far away, nestled in the thick trees. <<....>> "ooc: Wah bad move on me " <> Hmm. Guys...you stay here. I'll be riiiight back. "ooc: Patpats everyone. "Play nice" ^^ " Meria? ^^; She...um...sorta followed us. That would be our pneumatic comedy device, Rhiana. * Meira snaps her fingers "Drat.. Hmm? What about me?" "ooc: !! LOL TORI! ^^ " Thank you for clearing that up....it's weird looking. Chrys, don't you dare rob that person ^^; That would be morally unsound! And, uh, wrong too. * Chrys sneaks on off to the tent. ;) * Meira folds her arms under her chest "I am not a pneumonia comedy device..." * Niki walks up to Keylia. "Hey, where is that stupid shadow thing? You said that if I went with you that I could beat it up!" Sigh. ^^; Rachel.. ^_^ Chrys! No! Patience Grasshopper. :) C'mon. Let a guy do what he's done a large part of his life? ;) Keylia waves a finger. Fair enough. ;) Don't get caught, sexy buns! ;) GIMME THE GOODS OR GIMME THE WOMEN! ...Er...wait. Didn't say that out loud, did I? ^^; * Rachel snickers ;) <> * Rahne lower's her ears, hoping she's not similarily classified as "Weird Looking". * "ooc: Roric wanders out, in only his boxers and a beer. "EY! FUCK EW! :D" " ...I'm not going to travel with a thief..the last thing I want to do is draw more attention to myself. I'm not a grasshopper. :P Let's just leave him alone...-_-; You can spot a blue haired man outside the campsite.. it looks like he's chopping wood, or carving something.. Okay. We'll do what tall, light, and holy wants here ;) I'm tall? O_o * Rachel raises an eyebrow in amusement Taller than a lot of this group. -_-; ^^; No I'm not! * Cody coughs. ^^; * Roric stops and wipes his forehead with a cloth, peering towards the group through the bushes. "EY! Wossall the bloody racket?" * Rachel sweatdrops * Chrys blinks. * Cody sweatdrops. "Um. ^^ Hi!" Eh, I just think it's tha dingoes is all, mate. * Meira blinks "Someone can't talk right..." * Rachel elbows Chrys gently ;) Keylia tilts her head. "Hey, you call me a bimbo Chrys?" ;) "ooc: hehe. "Cody bastes. ^^" " * Roric throws his vest on over his bare chest, approaching. "Ey, you avin' a go at me?" Hey now! I never said bimbo! ^_- No! O_o Not at all, Sir! * Rhiana folds her arms * Rahne draws away from the newcomer, finding his disposition unnerving. * * Rachel sweatdrops even more at Roric. "Uhh, big sweaty guy, hello, Chrys, why don't you use your verbal skills to charm this sweet man." * Rachel idly ducks behind Keylia ^^; I dunno. Am I? It depends on how strong you are and how much money you got. By the looks of things, I'd say...no, I ain't having a go at you. I take it you know your way around this forest well?" ^_^ "ooc: -" " * Roric beams. "'E seems a bit lackin' in that category, 'owsabout yeh use some non-verbal skills teh charm me, eh shiela?" . o O ( This is so sad. He's totally sweaty...and he smells bad...and he's more manly than me... ;_; ) * Roric seems to be ignoring Chrys at the moment. * Rachel stares at Roric. "Did you just hit on me?" Hey, now. * Meira makes a confused look "What's he saying? I cant understand anything.. =X_x=" -_-; Did it work? Keylia peers at Roric, pondering something. "Yeah.. I think he did." O_o * Chrys looks to Cody. "C'mon, let's go." * Rachel looks weirded out! * Rhiana stands off to the side patiently . . . What? What? What? What did he say? O_o . o O(My kingdom for noseplugs) <> << lol >> ..he said he wants you to flirt with him "ooc: Did Roric just hit on me?

I still dont understand anything he's saying.. =^^=;; ...he doesn't appear too special to me..let's just get to the water palace and see Luka. <> <> * Roric returns to his tent, which is really just a blanket suspended by a stick, and in a minute has the whole thing transformed into a bundle slung over his shoulder. * Chrys looks to Meira. (quietly)"He wants to tag along so he can be more of a pervoid than I ever was." * Cody sighs and idly plays around with his pendant, waiting for everyone to finish. This is classic... I never kenw he was your type Rachel. ^_- "ooc: YOU PLAY WITH IT " "ooc: Rachel: I CAN use my body to get ahead in life! It's the power of positive thinking! " "ooc: :o " * Niki runs up to the group as she was chasing something around earlier. "Hey, who's the stinky guy?" * Rachel smirks at Keylia and elbows her gently because she knows Roric is definately not her type ;) I.. would be inclinated to agree, Mi-- er.. Rhiana. * Meira doesn't bother to whisper or be quiet "Oh... well.. he better not try that with me..." (softly) Her...type...? <> * Rhiana walks up the Rachel, "When you are trying to gather attention to yourself, arch your back more." * Roric returns, grinning at Niki. "Well ain't yeh the litle rugrat. Don' s'pose yer ma's one o' these shielas?" "ooc: God, this is fun. " O_o I only arch my back when I need to, sorry. ^_- ....What did you just say?

I feel okay again. " So where're yeh headed? * Meira darts over and pokepokes Niki "He's trying to pick you up or something..." * Rachel grins in amusement. "No, I use force to get what I want...this is just fun." * Cody looks up idly at Roric. "The water palace..." HE IS WHAT?! <> <<* Niki tosses Roric*>> "ooc: I WANNA SEE :D " * Rhiana snickers, "Well, if you decide to have fun again, arch your back and stick out your chest more. You'll find you'll get more attention that way." Water palace, eh? *he looks at them suspiciously* Not a lot o' god botherers, are yeh? << Lol.. Nygs >> * Niki walks up to Roric. "You don't HIT ON ME!" kicks him in the shin. Rachel...you use the force? We just met each other, really... Er...wait.. o_o I got that wrong. Well, none o' me business. Ow! Fuck! * Niki kicks him in the other shin. * Rachel blinks in amusement at Chrys. "You've been dipping into Cody's herbs, haven't you?" That's her way of saying hi. ^^ * Rhiana looks at Roric, "You could be more polite, you know. THere are ladies present." * Rahne waits a safe distance away, while this exchange continues. * * Cody deflates at Rachel's words. "I don't have herbs like that... :/" <> * Chrys drags Niki back, getting his ass kicked in the process. "Watch it, Nikola." * Meira laughs at Roric "Funny speaking man needed that..." I'm kidding, Cody! * Roric bends over, clutching his knee. After a moment he stands and grins at Niki. "Yeh're a bit young yet, missy." * Rachel smiles at him reassuringly ^^; * Cody smiles a little. ^^; Let me go! * Niki tosses Chrys over her shoulder. What's your name forest fella? "ooc: But not that far. " Anyway.... No kicking people's asse-HEY! "ooc: It was like a little flip. " * Chrys thuds * Roric glances at Rhiana. "Ladies don' dress like that. I'm Roric.

But thank you...Wow...Friends... ^^; * Cody realizes he sounds stupid and shuts up. ^^ Keylia picks up Niki. "Hey, that's 5 luc for everytime he stumbles!" * Rachel smiles wryly but keeps moving. * Roric pushes himself to his feet, coughing. "No worries, I'm good." * Roric leads the way. >> Roric joins the p'rty, 'mate! :D You mean I get money everytime I knock him over?

"Rachel...what's wrong?" * Niki notices Rachel draw her sword, and in turn Niki draws her axe. "Woo, fight!" * Rachel idly inches ahead. "Wait for a moment..." But...Hey! O_o Don't go off alone! * Roric pulls a whittled boomerang from inside his vest. "Lie doggo. I'll take care o' this. I'm going too! <> * Niki follows Rachel. ^^; Oh goddess. * Rhiana stands in a position ready to cast a magic spell, "I'll cover you, Rachel." Well.. she's mostly quiet, though sometimes she can be like Miss Keylia. Miss Luka is very.. almost, chameleonesque. It's really hard to explain. She's mostly quiet around me though. From out of a bush a trio of large mushroom appears, breakdancing upside down on their brightly colored caps. ^^ O_o * Meira giggles "That's the best way to deal with perverts.. or, get someone to beat them up for you" * Rachel backs up! Ah! O_o Rachel!

Heehee! -S-0 * Rhiana takes the whip from around her body and curls it up, "Good to see I can still use this." * Tori flashes Chrys a look- I could still shoot you, you know. "ooc: If you want the contents of this chest, shake it to the Isle of the Damned, and bring Karsh! " LOL! Storen's a girlie! * Cody shakes his head sadly. "Rachel..whatever I did...I'm sorry...-_-:" * Niki 's face gets all flustered and she starts stomping on the ground. * Cody walks ahead. -_-; *** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 4: Chasing Shadows | Location: Potos Road - North | Time: Salamando's Day, Daytime | 1255 Luc =-' * Rachel pauses and gazes at Cody, her gaze darkening even more... * Niki kicks the now empty chest. <> * Roric has already almost vanished into the woods ahead, but turns and stares back. < Well, that was some good exercise... "ooc: Kill Cody! " * Cody stops. "Gah. No. I shouldn't. -_-;" * Chrys rushes after Roric. "Hey! Wait up, Ror'!" * Meira tilts her head at Niki "You ok...?" Hey, Roric, know a good shortcut to the Water Palace? I'm gonna CHOP up that stupid THING!

Leave it to ol' roric, lassy. * Rachel examines her feet, not saying a word, and waits. "ooc: I did? ^^; " "ooc: Um, Gayo " "ooc: This is not a MUD ;) " "ooc: Shush. " * Roric heads off the path into the woods, leading the way without waiting for Rachel and Cody. * Meira looks confusedly at Niki "Chop up the chest?" Keylia looks over to Rachel, and puts a hand on her shoulder like usual. We should go, Rachel. We'll be left behind... No, that stupid shadow thing! * Rachel glances at Keylia and then at Cody and mumbles. "Let's go, then." Hey, let it go. You did fine... let's get to the Palace in one piece ok? ^^ "ooc: Well, cross out Roric + Rachel. Rachel is a psychopath. He'll have to refocus his attentions on Keylia and Rhi I guess. ^^; " * Rachel nods to Keylia and forces a smile * Cody shakes his head, and puts on a smile. "C'mon, Lady. We've got places to go! ^^" * Cody takes her hand! ^^ * Rachel blinks :p * Niki walks off in the direction everyone else is heading...dropping a crumpled piece of paper, the note she just found. <> * Cody playfully pulls her along, figuring sulking isn't gonna help her ^^ The two chests flicker out of existence, taunting Niki. ^_- "ooc: NO LITTERING " * Rahne falls in behind the others, feeling quite helpless. * * Rachel is pulled and just looks resigned to her fate as the world's punching bag Hurry Rahne! ^^; C'mon! *Smile* ^^ The party follows Roric's lead in the off roads, taking a shorter route to Luka's place.. * Meira picks up the note and follows Niki, reading as she goes * Rahne 's tail sways, and she picks up her pace a little. * << shall we end or? >> "ooc: I need bed.
