<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
<Chrys> «ooc: <Heather> YAY! »
<GMStoren> « AND YOU'LL LIKE IT! »
<Roric> «ooc: Well, I guess it depends on what you're into, actually. »
<Niki> «ooc: I didn't know that Navi could say "Session Start" »
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<Roric> «ooc: 2 hours and 45 minues, let's make it count. ^_~ »
<Niki> «ooc: >> Roric has wild sex for 2 hours and 45 minutes. »
<GMStoren> After a night of rlaxation and recuperation following the tense battle against Clarissa (or was it all a game to 
  her?), the party reassembled in the throne room of the Khan Baybars, to report the success of the mission, and to take 
  him up on that previous offer.. :)
<Rachel> <<I need to see Hasim, remember!>>
* Roric is Crazy Shawl Over Head Boy. Give him some candy.
<Cody> «ooc: LOL!!! »
<Niki> «ooc: *ponders if the room that Niki is in should be a total mess or if she just fell asleep.* »
<Cody> «ooc: OH MY GOD. "Roric: I am protractor boy! Gimme some CAN-dy! »
* Chrys is leaning against the wall, looking disraught and not all that awake. Musta spent too much time dancing.
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<GMStoren> « lol Roric »
* Cody stands attentively in front of the king, looking a little bit tired.
<GMStoren> YOu're surprised to see Niki there along with Meira... the guards eyeing them VERY heavily. ^^;
* Rachel has a sly smile on her lips, an energy around her that wasn't there p'reviously...the tension has seemingly melted 
  off her.
* Cody smiles at Rachel, glad to see she's feeling better.
* Rhiana is standing alone over in a corner, her hat pulled over her eyes
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel got laid. :o »
* Tori pics as his fingernails,trying to get the last of the soot out from underneath.
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] I'm grateful you amde it back and drove off the mage. You are very strong...
<Niki> «ooc: By Clarissa. »
* Rachel just smiles, enduring the compliments. ^^
* Rahne is quiet, looking down at her feet, her hands folded behind her back, tail motionless. *
*** Rasad (rasis@208.42.21.225) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] I woudle xpect no less from the one chosen by the sword. You still have a long journey to WEndel, 
  however.
* Roric nods in silent approval.
* Rachel nods a little and rests her hand on the hilt of her sword for a moment. ^^
<Cody> Long...journey? :/
* Rhiana stays slient, hasn't said much of anything since the battle with Clarissa
<GMStoren> Keylai strolls into the chamber, a little late.
* Rachel blinks and looks back at Keylia, concern flickering in her dark eyes.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Ugh.. sorry.. sorta overslept... ^^
* Chrys twitches a bit at mention of Wendel.
<Cody> Hey Keylia. :)
<Roric> «ooc: <Cody> sorta...overslept? :/ »
<Cody> «ooc: Screw you, Roric! ;) »
* Meira is busy eyeing the guards back and making funny faces at them
* Rachel looks thoughtful for a moment before winking at Keylia and turning back to the Khan ^^
<Roric> «ooc: <Cody> screw...you? :/ »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey Rache, Cody! Don't give me thsoe worried looks.. I'm fit as a fiddle! ;)
* Niki is busy digging through her satchel...looking for something.
<Cody> If you say so...
<Rachel> I bet. ;) Glad you could make it, sleepyhead. ;)
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] Cody, as I promsied you, I will give you my authrotiy to use the road to the Upperlands. I can 
  even provide transportationa s fara s the desert edge.
* Rachel brushes some hair from her eyes and gazes intently at the Khan. ^^
<Chrys> Transportation...? That mean we're going in those damn caravans again?
<Niki> «ooc: Rachel wants to seduce the Kahn. »
<Chrys> My head still hurts because of them.
<Cody> Thank you, Sire. I appreciate it.
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] You can always walk, if you wish. Cannon travel to the forest is still unreliable with the dense 
  fog that has been there recently.
* Meira earks perk up "Caravans? Does that mean we will have to fight of indians and make wagon circles?"
<Chrys> ..Oh, you missed it, neko-chan. Don't...even. Please."
* Cody turns to Chrys, "It might be uncomftable, but...it's faster. And the people in Kippo..."
<Chrys> Yeah, I know. Can we get some shock absorption or somethin' though..?
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 What on earth did Chrys mean? 3</ooc>
<Chrys> «ooc: No clue »
<Rachel> I have some shock absorption for you. ;)
* Niki pulls out a small piece of candy out of her satchel and holds it over her head. "FOUND IT!" :D
* Niki then promptly eats it.
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] You won't ahve to worry about the ride. The road I am building is paved and well marked. The 
  previous was a more all-terrian model of caravan.
<Rachel> <<AUGH! TOO EASY!>>
<Cody> ^^; Um...I got tissue paper in my bag. We can put it under your fanny and...ah... ^^;
* Cody blushes.
<Chrys> ...
<Chrys> No putting anything under my ass.
* Rachel chuckles softly and rubs her neck. ^^
* Cody blushes futher, "Sorry...just trying to help."
<Roric> «ooc: Damn, I totally missed that straight line. Rachel is gettin g better at innuendoes than Roric. ;_; »
<Meira> If it's as bad as it sounds... I'll just fly
<Rachel> << ;) >>
<Rachel> Ooh, can I drive?
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] However, in it's state of incompletion, the later parts are untraversable by vehicle. You will 
  need to walk the rest of the way into the forests.
<Chrys> AGH O_o
<Chrys> DRIVE NO BAD O_o
<GMStoren> « I should let her drive.. »
* Chrys coughs. "Err, sorry."
<Rachel> <<Yes!>>
<GMStoren> « Just for kicks. :) »
<Niki> «ooc: HAHA, just wait till Niki see's the caravan. ;) »
<Rachel> <<Oh god do it! ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: We're all going to die :D »
* Cody fumbles through his pack and seems to be looking for something.
* Rachel flicks some hair from her eyes and grins back at Chrys impishly. ^^
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] In the meantime, I will ahve my men search out any further Imperial spy attempts...
<Niki> «ooc: <Niki> Can I drive?! :D <Chrys> NOO! <Rachel> I'm driving. <Niki> We can both drive! <Rachel> Okay! »
* Rhiana mumbles, "Good luck."
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] *Grunts slightly* Oh yes. One of the memebrs of the association was looking for you.
<Chrys> Rrrr?
* Rachel blinks ^^;
* Meira blinks at Chrys, wondering if he's trying to pur
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] You should see Hasim before you depart.
* Cody grins impishly and takes something out of his satchel, placing it in Chrys' hands. "(w) Fine then...Put it under 
  your own fanny. ^_~"
<Rachel> Ah, yeah... ^^
<Rachel> Thank you, Khan Baybars :)
* Niki turns around just now noticing the rest of the group. She gives the party a giant wave. "Hiiii!"
<GMStoren> You hear a voice from behind you all..
<Cody> THank you, Sire. :)
* Rachel sweatdrops at Niki and then blinks at the voice
* Roric glances over his shoulder.
<GMStoren> [Hasim] Yes, well, I was getting impatient so I came personally!
<GMStoren> The robed trader stands int he entryway.
<Rachel> ^^; Oh...uh....sorry, sir Hasim..
* Chrys blinks and puts the tissue paper on Cody's head
<GMStoren> [Hasim] Did you procure the gem I asked, madam?
<Rhiana> ...well spit it out then...I don't have all day.
* Rachel nods and heads to Hasim, handing it to him. ^^
* Cody now has tissue paper on his head. Wee.
<Rachel> Here you go, as promised. :)
<Roric> «ooc: <Khan Baybars> What's the meaning of this? I'm in a meeting!! <Hasim> Shut up, stupid crime boss! »
<GMStoren> Hasim takes the Obsidian Gem, rolling it over a moment, and takes out a small eyeglass.
* Cody takes the tissue paper and wonders if he can still make that Oragami swan that some schoolteacher taught him in the 
  third grade.
* Cody figures he can't and puts the tissue paper away. ^^;
* Rachel raises an eyebrow in amusement at Cody and Chrys before looking at Hasim again.
<GMStoren> [Hasim] OH yes, this will do wonderfully! Wait till that fuzzball sees this one..
<Niki> «ooc: [Hasim] This isn't obsidian...its dried out horse dung! »
* Meira blinks "What fuzzball?"
<Rachel> <<Yo' momma!>>
<GMStoren> [Hasim] As a business man, I shall keep my part of the deal, good hero. Here is your Orb.
<Chrys> Fuzzball?
<Rachel> Thank you, kind Hasim ^_-
* Cody searches through his bag again for something.
<Chrys> .oO(Moogles are invading the guild? Geh, head hurts.)
<Cody> «ooc: Hasim gives Rachel an Orb of Vay! »
* Roric raises an eyebrow from beneath the shadow of his makeshift cowl.
<GMStoren> Hasim produces the shiny round object from a pocket, and ahnds it to Rachel. You feel a slight tingle as it 
  sparkles in your palms.
<Rachel> <<Rachel: Give me your balls! BWAHAHAHA!>>
<GMStoren> 4>> Got Weapon Orb!
* Rachel blinks and shivers faintly.
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 Hasim gives Rachel one of his balls! ...er, orbs! 3</ooc>
<Roric> «ooc: Augh. Ryoko. »
* Chrys feels a slight tingle. Ooh.
<Rachel> <<not you, Chrys! Me! Duh!>>
<Chrys> «ooc: He said "you" »
<Roric> «ooc: * Chrys rubs the orb against his crotch. »
<Chrys> «ooc: I meant that as "You all »
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] LUcky.. who'd have though?
<Chrys> «ooc: Roric, I would. »
* Cody pulls a book from his satchel, holding it in his hands.
<GMStoren> « er thought »
<Rachel> I would've, because I'm just that good, partner. ;)
* Rachel pockets the orb with a triumphant grin.
<GMStoren> [Hasim] Maybe we shall do business again, yes? And did you enjoy that cape, hmm?
<Cody> «ooc: HOLD IT OVER YOUR HEAD LIKE ZELDA...Aww~ »
<Niki> «ooc: The orb explodes in her pants. »
* Rahne waits patiently, resisting the urge to rock on her heels. *
* Rachel blinks and sweatdrops. ^^; "Ah, yes...uhm."
* Tori chews at a especially stubborn nail.
<GMStoren> Keylia look at Hasim and Rachel.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rachel> <<Keylia: . o O (They'd be cute together!)>>
* Meira cleans under her claws, just passing her time boredly
* Niki looks up at the nearby guard. "Can I go now?" :P
<Cody> ^^; You know, Mister Hasim...
<GMStoren> [Hasim] Hoho.. I shall see you soon, friend.
<Cody> You're the only person I know who has my middle name.
* Roric raises a hand suddenly. "Ah! Sir. I was wondering if I could have a word with you."
<GMStoren> [Hasim] yes?
* Rhiana picks herself up from the wall and starts out without saying a word
* Roric approaches Hasim. "Can we step outside?"
<GMStoren> [Hasim] It is a fine name isn't it?
* Chrys follows Rhiana.
<Cody> «ooc: Roric: I need some more of that GOOD stuff. »
<GMStoren> Hasim turns to Roric..
<Cody> ^^; Yes...quite a nice name. ^^;
* Rachel looks amusedly at Cody before turning to bow at the Khan ^^
* Cody smiles in a rather forced way. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Hasim] What can I dof or you, good man?
* Meira pokes Cody, and smiles slowly "If he has your middle name.. shouldn't he give it back? =^^="
<GMStoren> [Khan Baybars] Yes, well, you may leave at any time.
* Niki simmers as the guard ignores her.
* Roric steps outside the doorframe to talk with hasim briefly.
<Cody> ^^; Well...My mom gave me my middle name. I don't think I can just give it back...He can have it if he wants. (w) I 
  don't like it very much.
<GMStoren> [Guard] YOu are dismissed. Be glad the Khan was merciful to one so young.
<Rachel> C'mon ;) Let's blow this hot spot.
* Niki sticks her tongue out at the guard.
* Cody bows to the Kahn and walks outside. ^^;
* Meira covers a side of her mouth and whispers to Cody as they walk "Ne.. what is your middle name?"
* Roric is standing just outside, showing Keylia's cape to Hasim.
* Rachel adjusts her sword and heads out too.. ^^
<Cody> Hasim.
<GMStoren> Hasim looks the fabric over, interested...
* Tori , still chewing at the nail, follows the others outside.
* Rahne silently bows with a flourish to the Khan, and with a graceful flick of her tail, quietly makes her way out of the 
  audience hall.. *
<Rachel> <<O_o Roric: Can you make this into underwear?!>>
* Meira raises an eyebrow, confused kitty face "I thought it was something else.. like Hasim's middle name was the same as 
  your middle name.. not that his first was your middle.."
<Niki> «ooc: [Hasim] Ahh yes, I can make some fine golden pantaloons out of this material. »
<Chrys> «ooc: AUGH BG REF »
<Cody> ^^; Erhm. No. His first name is my middle name.
* Meira nodnods a bit "So I see now... Maybe he's your father... say, was he ever a milkman?"
* Niki picks up her satchel, making sure she has everything, then wanders over to the rest of the party.
<Niki> «ooc: [Hasim] Cody....I am your father. *breathes heavily* »
* Cody laughs! "Ah...well I doubt he's my father. My father lives in Kippo."
<Rhiana> ...let's go.
<GMStoren> Hasim is exchanging words with Roric heatedly. ^^
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
* Rachel glances at Hasim and Roric. "We gotta wait for Roric."
<Cody> «ooc: Hasim: NO I WILL NOT GIVE YOU SAKI SAKI TEN DOLLA! »
* Meira gets a suspiscious X-files/Twilight Zone look to her "Maybe that's what you're lead to believe..."
<Niki> «ooc: <Roric> So...can you make me some female undies out of this to wear or not?! And mind you, I want to be able 
  to wear them! »
* Roric nods and returns to the groun. "Sorry for th'oldup."
<Rachel> Not a problem, Ror. We all set, then?
<Roric> Good by me.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, you weren't telling that guy to make me a new wardrobe were ya? ;)
* Rachel glances at the rest ^^
<Cody> ^^; Nah. My dad is my dad and my mom is my mom and Hasim and I just share a middle name. :)
<Niki> «ooc: Cody *coughandabedcough* »
* Rachel chuckles lowly. "Man...by the time this quest is over, Key's gonna have like a thousand pairs of pants and 
  shirts..."
<GMStoren> Hasim nods to himself a little. 
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o GMStoren
<GMStoren> « grr ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Poor stor :o »
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 Oop, Storen come back out of da hoooole! *flushes him again* 3</ooc>
<GMStoren> « that was one of the rare total disconnects... »
<Chrys> Um.
<Niki> «ooc: <Hasim> I am Hasim the Gemma Knight! Undies...get your undies! On sale! »
* Rhiana walks along, not saying anything
<Chrys> That's not exactly...a friendly, poetic way to die.
<Chrys> Kinda pathetic, actually.
* Rachel gazes at Chrys for a moment before brushing past him and Cody to head to the front of the group.. ^^
<Cody> It's kind of...yeah. Pathetic.
<GMStoren> « someone post after the Keylia pants and shirts comment? »
<Niki> «ooc: I will. »
* Chrys blinks at Rachel. "Rache? You okay?"
<Rachel> Sure thing ;) never felt better.
<Niki> «ooc: Uhh...what pant and shirt comment? ^^; »
<GMStoren> Hasim nods to himself a little, smiling widely. ^_^
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 Yeah.. what comment? ^^; 3</ooc>
<GMStoren> « the one abotu Keylia :) »
* Rachel whistles.. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: Hasim: HAHA! They'll never know I was really reincarnated into a fish name Ume! »
<Roric> «ooc: Dunno if we saw it. »
<Rachel> <<The one I made :o>>
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 Looks like we didn't get it Storen ^^; 3</ooc>
<Niki> «ooc: What was the line before it? »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh, Rachel made it. »
<Chrys> . . . .Uh...
* Rhiana scans the surroundings....force of habit it seems
<GMStoren> [Hasim] You are an interesting bunch... let me know if you are in need of anything further, friends.
<Rachel> Er!
* Roric waves. "Seeya, mate!"
<Rachel> W-wait! Hasim! ^^
<GMStoren> « whoo log spam! »
* Meira holds her hands out as wide as they'll go "I could go for a REALLY big fish right now!"
<GMStoren> Hasim stops..
<Cody> O-o
<Cody> Oh my gosh! That's right!
* Rachel jogs back to Hasim! "Can I buy another Anger Oil?!"
<Cody> I owe you a fish, Meria. ^^:
* Rachel grins almost sadistically ;)
<GMStoren> [Hasim] Ah, you are in luck!
<Rachel> Awesome. ^_-
* Meira turns toward Cody with a big smile, her arms still held out "Good, then I want a REALLY big fish Cody! =^^="
<Chrys> ...
* Niki runs up with Rachel. "Whats that? Oh well, can I have one too?" :D
<Roric> «ooc: You know, I never knew there was a Moody condition. Chrys and Rachel should have that perpetually. »
<GMStoren> Hasim whips out his turban and a few oils fall out.
<Chrys> You guys scare me...
* Rachel blinks and chuckles. ^^
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 Aaah! He whipped out his turban! *hides her eyes* 3</ooc>
<Roric> «ooc: Hey, Cody never got a Fire spell listed :o »
<GMStoren> [Hasim] Fresh from the market today... I will give you a discount. 50 Luc!
<Cody> Don't you want me to buy it in a place where there ARE fish, though? It might not be fresh in a desert.
* Rachel buys one and grins. "Thanks, Hasim...Niki wants one too, I believe..."
<Cody> «ooc: I fixed it. Fire Broquet :) »
* Niki picks up a couple of them. "Aww, I thougth they were free."
<GMStoren> « two oils? »
<Niki> «ooc: thought even. »
<Rachel> <<I believe, yes...Niki? ^^>>
<Niki> Oh well.  I'll take one too.  Am I suppose to drink it or something?
* Meira nodnods and rubs her stomach "Right! I'll have to find something else to eat for now then.. maybe a desert 
  rodent..."
<GMStoren> [Hasim] Ah, but Luc is such a wonderful thing.. how could there be lfie without commerce?
<Rachel> Erm..just click the B button during battle ^_^
<Cody> «ooc: O_O LOL! »
* Roric chuckles. "Not unless ya want the shits. Ya just rub it on."
<Chrys> «ooc: AGHAGHAGHAGH »
* Chrys wideeyes.
<Chrys> The hell, Rache?
* Rachel winks at Chrys and offers him a sly grin.
<GMStoren> [Hasim] It can be ingested, or used as a salve. Fully money back gauranteed!
<Meira> Maybe it's motor oil.. or cooking oil... tanning oil?
* Cody blinks, looking at the book again, and steps back towards Rahne. "Uh....Rahne?"
<Chrys> Rache...what the hell's a B button?
<Niki> How about I get a free sample before buying this? >:D
* Rahne looks up, her ears snapping to attention. * Yes, Cody?
* Chrys shakes his head. "No, never mind. I don't think I WANT to know."
<Rachel> My my my...if you don't know, then I ain't tellin' you.. ;)
* Meira takes a stick and draws a Bee on the ground pressing a button "Something like this?"
<Cody> I wanted to know if...maybe you wanted to have this...?
* Rachel dances back to the head of the party ^^
<GMStoren> [Hasim] Rachel can vouch for the integrity of myw ares, litle one..
* Cody puts a small book into her hands. :)
<Chrys> ...
<Rachel> Thank you, sir Hasim!
<GMStoren> 4>> The group gets 2 Anger Oils!
*** Retrieving #Pureland info...
* Rachel has a bounce in her step and waits ^_^
* Niki looks up at Rachel. "What does this stuff do?"

Luc -=-'
* Chrys looks at Rachel. "What's up with you? Little Miss Angst has gotten all bubbly. It's wierd."
* Rahne opens it up, and flips through, her curiosity piqued. * What's it about?
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 <Cody> *puts the book in her hand and whispers* Look at these nude photos of me while you're alone.. 3</ooc>
* Rachel raises an eyebrow down at Niki. "Makes your strength much much better."
<Rachel> I was almost as good as Keylia with this stuff. ;) Almost.
<Niki> Cool! :D
<Cody> ^^; It's a collection of short stories and poems from the time of the Mana fortress war. Some journal entries too. 
  It's really fascinating, and I thought...maybe you'd like to see it?
<Rachel> And Chrys, just because I don't look like I was drinking last night and partying, doesn't mean I wasn't ;)
* Rachel waggles her finger.
* Niki starts walking towards the palace. "Now to kick those guards butts!" ^_^
* Meira rubs her chin looking at the oils "Wouldn't do me a bit of good..."
* Chrys coughs as he realizes something.
<Rachel> Ah, Niki! Save it for the guy who kicked the cannon!
* Chrys straightens his hair.
<Rachel> We can throttle his ass!
<Roric> «ooc: Wasn't it a woman? »
* Rahne smiles at him, and her tail begins to wag. * I'd love to; I love history. ^^
<Rhiana> ...
<GMStoren> Keylai grabs Niki. "Umm.. do you REALLY wanna see the abd side of these thieves?" ^^
<Roric> Eh, lett'r go. 
<Chrys> «ooc: It was a Milich. »
<Rachel> <<Whatever ;)>>
<Meira> I dont think that's sanitary =^^=;;;
<Cody> Me too. 
* Niki stops. "Okay....and that stupid shadow thing. I get to use some of this stuff on him too right?"
* Cody smiles back.
<Chrys> ...Suuuuure, Nik'.
<Rachel> Sure, we'll buy more later too. ;)
<Rachel> Now!
<Rachel> Let's head out, team! ;)
<GMStoren> [Keylia] That's right.. maybe that shadow's hiding in the Upperland!
* Rachel points ahead and wanders onwards ;)
<Rahne> Where did you come by it?  It's not too often historical texts are just out and about in the world.
* Roric sticks a toothpick in his mouth and follows along.
<GMStoren> [Hasim] At any rate, fair travels.. and my your pockets be heavier when you return. *grin*
* Rhiana follows along
<Niki> Okay...lets go kick some shadow butt! :D
<Cody> ^^; Oh...It was in Kippo's library...It's a third edition though...So it's not that old...least the book isn't that 
  old.
<GMStoren> Hasim wanders off to his stall in the bazaar
* Tori , still chewing at the damn nail, heads after the rest.
* Rachel hums softly under her breath, dancing a little with a few steps. ^^
<GMStoren> « Nailbiter Tori ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey Rachel, you're sure perky today..
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 That's a bad nervous habit to bite your nail ^^; 3</ooc>
<Chrys> .oO(That means I wasn't just delusional, and she DID show up here...)
<Rahne> I wish the Kahn's road passed through Mandala..  I doubt it does, because of the town's height.. but I'd love to 
  show you the books there.  * She smiles. *
* Rachel flashes Keylia a sly look. "Yeah. I can't be the moody Mana Knight all the time, can I? Especially in such great 
  company!"
* Roric looks sideways at Tori. " 'Ey, 'e's got a metal toothpick."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Got that right. ;)
<Rhiana> ...I don't qualify as great company, I'm afraid.
<Cody> Maybe when this is all said and done...maybe I could go to Mandala... :)
<Rachel> Aw, Rhiana, without you, we wouldn't have your whip to use for our various sexual trapeze acts. ^_^
* Rachel waggles a finger ;)
<GMStoren> You all pass through the town, the morning sunlight greeting you with a strange vitality... it is a good day to 
  be alive. :)
* Chrys shrugs looking at Rhiana. "Eh, you fit this ragtag group well enough."
<Niki> «ooc: Our GM is a Klingon! »
<Rhiana> No, I don't.
<Rachel> <<I'm so on drugs ;P>>
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Rhiana> I'm far different.
*** Windstar (Windstar@cs2716-167.austin.rr.com) has joined #Pureland
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Aww, we still love you anyway. ;)
* Meira sweatdrops at the freakish circus planning "If it comes to that.. I'm flying the coop..."
<Chrys> Why not? You're moody, know more than you let on, and don't seem to like other people. Yep, I say you fit well.
* Rahne 's tail swishes happily. * I'd love to have you there, though I must admit it's not a very exciting place, unless 
  you're big into learning. ^^;
<Rhiana> I know more than I wish to know.  
<Roric> Think wot 'e's sayin' is none o' us really fit in 'ere. Ain't too big a concern tho', long as we can keep each 
  other alive.
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys...channeling...Arcus.. O_o »
<Cody> ^_^ I like to learn.
<Rhiana> That's all you need to know.
<Cody> «ooc: YOu have to sing now, Chrys~ And bow! And have sperms floating after song lyrics! o~ »
* Rachel pokes Keylia's shoulder a little ;)
* Niki pokes Keylia's thigh.
* Chrys shrugs. "Ya don't need to be so serious all the time, though. It pays to loosen up. After all, we can't have people 
  worrying all the time, can we?" ^_-
<Niki> «ooc: Double poke attack! :D »
* Roric puts his shawl on normally again, eyeing Rachel and Keylia with suspicion.
<GMStoren> At the entrance of the town, where the desert sands lap up against the square mosaic tiles, you find a buggy 
  waiting for you. It's attended by a very familiar boy.
<Rachel> eehhh...poking contest ;)
<Cody> «ooc: LURE?! NO! »
<Chrys> Ey, Danno.
* Rachel grins widely at the buggy.
<GMStoren> [Dan] Hi again! I heard about all the cool stuff you did!
<Niki> Actually, I was wondering.......Where are we going?
<Rachel> ...ohgodletmedriveletmedriveletmedrive.
<Cody> ^^; 
<Rhiana> Don't worry about me.
* Niki looks at Dan. "Hi Dan! Yeah, I did some cool stuff, but then they locked me up in a room and wouldn't let me out for 
  a while. Was still fun though!" ^_^
* Meira shrugs "I have no idea Niki.. as long as it's away from this heat and sand.. and is somewhere with fish I'll be 
  happy."
<GMStoren> [Dan] And you're gonna get to ride in the new buggy.. I'm jealous.. ;_;
<GMStoren> [Dan] They locked you up? You didn't touch the bad stuff did you? They locked me up too at first. ^^
<Rahne> You'd like Mandala then.  Master Joch..  the Veedios.. more books and artifacts than you can count.
* Cody yawns a little, a hand rubbing his still somewhat black eye.
<Chrys> I'll worry about ya if I want. I ain't the type to see women get all wierd because their life's been treatin' em 
  like shit. It just isn't chivalrous.
* Rachel hears Cody's yawn and interjects a little. "Sleep more! If I gotta eat decently, you gotta sleep, stud!"
<Niki> I think they locked me up because I broke some stuff and beat up a guard.
* Roric snickers a little.
<Cody> I bet I would. Someday....I'll go. :) 
* Cody turns to Rachel, "Sorry...I tried to...really."
<Meira> Hey but that was really fun to watch Niki =^^=
<Rahne> I hope so.
* Chrys looks at Rachel. "He probably couldn't, what with all the noise you were makin'. ^_-
* Rachel pauses and offers Cody a warm smile. "Hey, it's cool. Call it concern, eh?"
* Rachel blinks and sweatdrops, looking at Chrys O_o
* Cody nods, "Thanks, Rachel."
* Niki looks at Meira. "You should have joined in. It was cool!"
* Rahne stares off towards the snowy spires rising above the horizon to the south... *
<GMStoren> Taking a momet to look at the vehicle, you see it's a little different fromt eh caravan. More sleek, and not 
  covered with a very bulky tarp.
* Roric unintentionally takes Niki's comment in the context of CHrys's.
<Meira> I would have.. but you were having so much fun I didn't want to spoil it =^^=
<Cody> «ooc: Is it a covrvette? :D »
* Niki starts acting out the entire scene of the guard catching her breaking stuff...doing all the guard imitations and 
  punching scenes.
<Chrys> «ooc: AGH, ROR! »
<Rhiana> I said don't worry.  
<GMStoren> The engine also seems changed. It doesn't have the same elemental power design from before.
* Rachel stares and reaches out to touch the buggy...
<Rachel> Ohhh mannn..
<Roric> Sleek.
<GMStoren> Dan laughs
<Rachel> This is sweet..
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Uh oh.. she's getting that look in ehr eyes..
<Chrys> Hey now, peeps. No getting off on the car, kay?
<Cody> Wow...rather fancy for a buggy. :)
* Roric grins and pats Rachel's hand. "Don't go too far on th'first date, luv."
* Rachel stares. ^^
* Rachel blinks and blushes ^^;
<Rahne> I wonder how it runs..
* Cody overhears Roric's comment and goes very quiet.
<Roric> «ooc: Let's kill the guards and steal the buggy! »
<Meira> Hopefully it runs fast and where we tell it.
<GMStoren> [Dan] YOu had fun Niki.. but I'm just a servant, so I can't do all that stuff or get my mommy in trouble.
<Cody> «ooc: BRB »
<Niki> Yeah, and then they put me in that ro.....*notices the buggy*  OOooooo.....wazzat?
<Roric> «ooc: The force is strong in this one. Let's buy him from Watto. »
<GMStoren> [Dan] Umm.. anyway! Do you know how to drive it? It's really neat!
<Rachel> O_o 
<Rachel> Can I drive it, Dan? ;)
<Niki> Can you teach me to drive it?! :D
* Niki looks at Rachel. "I wanna drive!"
* Rachel brushes her fingers over it longingly. ^^
<Chrys> Do I have to do anything?
<Rachel> You can help, Niki ;)
<Roric> 'Ey, why don' we ALL drive it?
<Niki> Alright! ^_^
* Tori talks around the nail chewing "do you have helmets?"
* Chrys << makes the Discovery-Buggy evade! >>
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Roric> «ooc: Heh. It's taken us an hour to walk to the buggy. We suck. »
<Rachel> <<But it's a sexy kind of suck!>>
<GMStoren> [Dan] It's really simple.. you just press a button, and it starts! Then you sue the two pedal to control speed, 
  and turning. It's emant to go reeeeeeaaaal fast!
<Chrys> «ooc: We're standing by it now »
<Rachel> ... ;)
* Meira looks the wagon over skepticly "I dunno about this thing.. I've always gotten around fine on my own..."
* Rachel drools :O
<Niki> «ooc: <Cody> Umm...Tori. ^^; Why are you eating that nail? <Tori> I'm having breakfast. »
<Rachel> Oh god
<Rahne> << My RPG's footnote in the grant parade of RPGs, is Flara's evade line. ^^; >>
<Rachel> I'm so driving this
<Tori> seriously, do you have helmets? ^^;
<Rhiana> ...perhaps you should leave it to someone with training in that area, Rachel.
<Niki> Hey, you said I could drive too! :D
<GMStoren> [Dan] The Khan said that you can only go as far as the checkpoint, so I'm going to drive it back, ok? :)
<Rachel> No way! That's no fun, Rhi ^_- I won't kill you guys.
<Rachel> Yet. ;)
<Rachel> Sure thing, Nik ;)
<Roric> If we're gonna need 'elmets and Rachel's drivin', we'd be better off walkin'.
* Rachel hops into the driver's seat!
<Chrys> Niki on the other hand, might, hun.
* Niki looks at Dan. "Okay, then you can't drive it till we leave because you'll get to drive it back."
<Rachel> Don't worry your pretty little purple head over it, Chrys, darling. ;)
<GMStoren> Dan climbs up into the car, scrambling in that cute boyish way up the rust colored frame. ^^
<Meira> I'm thinking of just laying on top.. that way, if we end up falling over a cliff or hitting something I'll just 
  jump into the air and be safe..
<Niki> I won't kill you people!  *points to everyone...but Chrys.  She grins*
* Roric snickers rather loudly at that.
* Cody sighs and holds his head in his hands. ^^;
<Rachel> Everyone climb on, eh? ;) 
<GMStoren> [Dan] *nods* Is she gonna drive? *points to Rachel*
<Cody> Idon'twanttodie...
<Rachel> Indeed I am! Bwahaha!
<Roric> (m) 'Is purple 'ead's doin' somethin', but that ain't it.
<Niki> We are going to take turns. :D
* Tori groans and climbs into the back.
<GMStoren> Keylia steps in.. luckily there is ample room. ^_^
* Niki hops up in the front seat...near the controls.
* Cody climbs inside, looking like a comdemmed man.
* Roric hops in cheerily enough.
<GMStoren> « this is rich. »
* Rachel grins at Niki. "Wanna start her up, Nik?"
<Cody> «ooc: Like a cream soufleee! :D »
<Niki> Okay. :D
* Meira hops on the top to see if she can hang on safely
* Tori shifts around until he finds a corner to cram into.
<Roric> «ooc: Darn, nobody reacted to my obscenity. I need to mutter louder. ^_~ »
<GMStoren> Rachel finds in the drivers seat two pedals under ehr boots. There's a few guages for pressure and temperature.. 
  as well as a big red button.
<Rachel> I hope everyone has life insurance. ;)
* Rahne drops in beside Cody, curling her tail around her, in between the two of them. *
* Niki looks at the controls. "He said push this button..."
<Meira> I have no one to benefit from my life insurance =^^=;;
* Rachel motions to the big red button. "Press it, co-pilot!" ^_-
* Niki pushes the button, then slams her foot on the accelerate pedal.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You only live ocne.. ^^
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<GMStoren> The thing makes a huge roaring sound, popping a wheelie! o_O
<Rachel> Aaahhhahhahahhaa!
<Rachel> Fucking A!
<Cody> AGH!
<Niki> Woo!  THIS IS COOL! ^_^
<Rachel> Let me do it, Nik! ;)
<Cody> Stop it stop it whoaaaa! O_O
* Roric grabs the sides of his seat.
<GMStoren> [Dan] Hey, be careful! ^^;;;;
* Rhiana sits comfortably
* Chrys goes silent.
* Meira wide eyes and grabs on tightly to the top of the car, screaming loudly
<Niki> Okay, but I get to drive after a little bit.
<GMStoren> The thing slams down into the turf, and jets southwards!
<Chrys> .oO(My fucking god I'm gonna die..)
<Rachel> <<LOL! THIS IS FUCKING SHIT!>>
<Roric> Roric: Can we....slow it down a bit?
<Chrys> «ooc: BRB! »
* Tori continues chewing at his nails in silence.
* Rachel takes control and zooms off!!! ;)
* Rachel makes the Buggy evade!
<Niki> «ooc: Tori...you rock. »
<Roric> «ooc: Tori should accidentally swallow the nail. :P »

<GMStoren> Rachel presses the thigns a bit too hard, as it rocks to the side a little too much.. but she manages to get it 
  ont he road at least. ^^
* Rachel laughs loudly, full of joy! "Aww yea!!!"
* Rahne tries to read a bit of the book Cody gave her.. *
<Cody> Raaaaaaaacheeeeeeeeeeeeel! Slow dowwwwwwwwwwn! O_O
* Niki looks back at to the rest of the group. "Isn't this thing the best?! :D
<Cody> I can't feel my face! O_o
<Rachel> <<I like going fast, Ror ;)>>
* Roric coughs and attempts to regain his composure despite the ridiculous speed.
<Cody> It's getting pulled back by the force!
<Rachel> Sorry! This thing has awesome power!!
<Niki> «ooc: May the force be with you. »
<GMStoren> Kyelia lets the wind blow her hair. "This is the stuff!"
* Rahne gives up, the bouncing making the words too hard to read. * -_-;
* Cody gets a faceful of Keylia's hair and sputters.
* Meira holds tightly to the top of the car, digging her claws in, her jaws flapping in the wind like an astronaut going 
  into space
<Cody> «ooc: Oh my god, Cody is like Audrey in a buggy ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Dan] MY mom said a scientist invented it! It's called steam power! :D
* Rachel zooms along and laughs loudly. "Oh god, Keylia, how come we didn't buy one of these before! That woulda be 
  awesome!"
<GMStoren> [Dan] And elcetro-somethign-or-other
* Rachel speeds up a little but keeps her eyes on the gauges ^^
* Roric bites his lip and sighs.
* Niki looks at Dan. "You mean if I fart in this thing, it will go faster?"
* Cody hunches over, attempting not to projectile puke.
<GMStoren> Rachel noticed the temperature one is gettign a bit up there.. best not to push it too hard or burn up. ^^
<Rachel> <<* Heather flails wildly in her chair! "YAAAH!>>
* Rahne 's forehead wrinkles with concern.. * You gonna be okay, Cody?
* Rachel slows a little but keeps 'er goin at a steady click!
<GMStoren> [Dan] Umm.. it's not that kinda gas...
<Cody> Y...Yeah. ^^; I'll be okay.
* Niki give Dan the thumbs up. then turns back to Rachel. "When is it my turn again?"
<Rachel> Now, I guess. ;)
<Cody> I think...
<Rachel> Just don't make it get too hot, eh? ^_-
<Niki> «ooc: Err, that first period should be a comma. ^^; »
<Roric> THANK YOU, Rache.
<GMStoren> You make good time, the dunes and few catci zooming by. The road beneath you makes the ride very bump-free, if a 
  bit.. sickening to some.
<Rachel> Don't wanna blow us up ;)
* Tori ,still biting at his nails, reaches into his cloak and pulls out a piece of parachament. Most of it is tilted toward 
  him and can't be seen, but the upper portion is rolled over and reads "Wanted for Mass-murder, Treason, and crimes 
  against the crown, 999,999,999 REWARD, DEAD".
<Niki> Okay.  ^_^
<Roric> Coulda fooled me.
* Rachel scootches over a bit to let Niki drive, tilting her head to the sky with a big grin on her full lips..
<Roric> «ooc: Whoa. If that's a party member other than me, I'm SO turning him in. :D »
<GMStoren> Keylia looks over. "Brought in flight reading materials, eh Tori?" ;)
* Niki takes the driver seat and tries to push the pedals, but her legs aren't long enough to push the pedalc ompletely 
  down.
<Tori> Hmm..oh 0_O
<Niki> «ooc: pedal completely even. »
<GMStoren> The buggy gets really slow since Niki can't keep it pushed..
* Rachel blinks and chuckles. "Havin' trouble, Niki?" ^_-
* Tori quyickly rolls it back, up, parts of the paper flashing into view "Rayoneer" and a picture of a small boy in a cadet 
  uniform being the standout.
* Rahne lets out a small sigh.. *
<Cody> Keep it stopped!
<Cody> O_o
<GMStoren> [Dan] Hey Niki, sometime I crawl on the floor and do it. :)
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
<Niki> Nooo.  Here, you drive, and I push the the pedal thing.
<Tori> It's nothing.
<Rachel> <<oh god! Obscene!>>

<GMStoren> « Take control bayabee :D »
<Roric> Ah, cripes, 'ere we go again.
* Rhiana snickers lightly looking at Tori, "You're worth almost as much as I am."
* Niki slips under the seat and pushes the pedal to the floor.
* Meira finally gets a chance to breath on her own instead of having it forced into her lungs "Geez! If I wasn't really 
  hungry for fish I'd fly myself! You guys are going to kill me! =^^=;;;"
<Rachel> This is why you don't let Rachel near fast things! ;)
<GMStoren> YOu all feel the G-force as the thing fires up and proceeds to tear up the roadway. :P

<Roric> Really? 'Ey, let's stop by the empire an' make some cash offa 'em.
* Tori looks at Rhiana with cold, dead eyes "It's not me".
* Rahne 's eyes widen again as the machine lurches forward! * Agh! O_o
<Cody> «ooc: Tori: ;_; It's my dog, rufflekins. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Roric> Aw.
<Rhiana> Oh?  It's not mine, is it?  I'll be upset if my price as gone down.
* Rachel looks for where they're supposed to be.. ^^
* Cody blushes profusely, looking up at Rahne. "Ah...hi? ^^;"
<Rachel> No nookie in the buggy, guys! ;)
<GMStoren> You notice the dunes becoming less pronounced.. a small line of green is on the hazy horizon.
* Niki looks up at Rachel. "Hey, tell me when to let go okay!"
<Tori> No..it's for somebody who's nothing but a ghost now.
<Rachel> Yeah! I got it, Nik!
<Rhiana> Then why keep it
* Rahne looks down at him, a crimson coming to her cheeks. * ^^;
* Cody sits up, still looking a bit nauseous. ^^:
<Tori> Because someday he'll come around again.

<Cody> Sorry about that... 
* Roric glances at Tori. "Ya bag 'im?"
* Rhiana nods, "I see."
<Rachel> <<I'm assuming that's where we need to be and not the ocean, Storey ;)>>
<Niki> «ooc: LOL...I'm gonna send everyone flying foreward when we have to stop. >;) »
* Meira takes out a length of rope and ties it to the top of the car, slowly letting herself out to the end and holds on 
  tight with her wings spread, parasailing "Weeee! Now this is much better! Flying with out all the work! =^^="
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Mmm.. yeah the best ones' always do.
* Tori looks a little meloncholy "Yeah, you could say that."
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Rahne> It's okay..  It's kinda hard to not be thrown about in here. ^^;
<Roric> Wow. Musta spent the cash damn fast.
<Rachel> Slow it up a little, kid, I think we left everyone's good moods back in town ;)
* Cody nods. ^^:
<Tori> Oh..I didn't get the money..probably never will.
<GMStoren> You hit a few bumps..
<Niki> Okay.  If ya say so.
* Rahne straightens out the ruffled fur on her tail. *
<Roric> Ah. Ain't that always th'way?
<Cody> Oh...I was going to tell you...I'm um...Sorry I lied...about my eye. I assume you knew I was fibbing...
* Niki bumps upwards and hits her head just as she lets up on the pedal a little.
<Tori> No..it's just..it's not mine to get.
* Chrys goes flying, and his head ends up in Cody's lap.
<Niki> OWW!
* Roric shrugs and leans back, attempting rather futilely to enjoy death speed.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Niki> OWW OWW OWW OWW OWW!!!

<GMStoren> [Dan] Ow.. we must be close to the end of the line..

<Chrys> I'm all for it...
<Rachel> Hey, Nik! Climb up! We gotta stop!
<Niki> Fine!
<Roric> Grouse. I'll get t'that soon as I can get up from th'seat 'ere.
* Niki hits the OTHER pedal really quickly, then climbs up.
<GMStoren> You start to see a tower of sorts, and what seems like a barrier
* Rahne looks to Cody, her eyes conveying a bit of sadness. * It's okay. I can.. only assume you had.. a reason to do so.

<Roric> «ooc: It's be funnier if it was her chest. »
<Chrys> ...Perhaps now would not be a good time to point out where he has his hand? ^^;
* Cody then goes down to her chest, "Softer..."
<Rachel> ...
* Cody then flops over again. O_o
* Rachel twitches.
<Chrys> ..And now his head?
<GMStoren> [Worker] Yeah, you didn't know? There's a war brewing between Elves and beasts. Doesn't much concenr me though, 
  but this road isn't getting built until it quiets down.

<Niki> «ooc: True. »
<GMStoren> « er me »
* Rachel sighs and tugs Cody up, propping him against Chrys. "Here."
* Chrys picks up Cody fireman-style.
* Rhiana starts off to the road, not waiting for the others
<Roric> Guess we're gonna 'afta go 'round.
* Cody sort of passes out for a bit.
<Niki> «ooc: * Chrys does Cody Doggy-style. »

<GMStoren> [Worker] You can walk, sure, it's justa dirt path into the woods from here. I can't gaurantee your safety or 
  anything.
<Rachel> It's okay, we can handle ourselves..
<Chrys> Especially her, sir. After all, she has to deal with people like me, daily. ^_-
* Niki walks away from Cody, and then proceeds to draw a gotee on the Rahne shape in the wall.
* Rachel blinks and sweatdrops.'
* Roric grumbles. "Fine, fine, let's just go waltzin' inta th'maw o'doom 'ere. Strweth."
<Rachel> Hey, Ror, s'not like this is the first time, huh?
<Cody> (quiet) Why am I upside down?
* Chrys gets an evil grin.
<Cody> Oh my head...
* Rahne kneels down, looking at Cody. * Are you okay?
<Chrys> (q, to Cody) Because you're being abducted by us aliens. Rahne is one of us...
<Cody> ...Chrys, did you hit your head too hard or something?
* Rachel looks curiously at Key for a moment.. "Let's go, then....?"
<Chrys> ;) Damn.
<Chrys> No, just trying to screw with yours, Cod'.
<GMStoren> The road worker rubs his nose. "Wierd bunch you are. WEll, it's your chocie. Talk some sense into those people 
  if you can for Kakkara's sake.."
* Chrys puts Cody down. "Can you stand now?
<Cody> ^^; I'm okay now, Rahne...least I think. My head's a little sore though...^^;
* Niki walks back to the group, chuckling a little.
* Cody tries to and manages to stand upright, "I believe so. How long was I unconscious?"
<GMStoren> Matango's nearby too, if you can make it that far.
<GMStoren> « er By your figuring there. :) »
* Rachel raises an eyebrow and nods...
<Chrys> ..About 5 seconds. 5 minutes if you count the whole "frying pan" bit.
<Rachel> <<And the whole groping Rachel bit ;)>>
<Cody> Frying pan? O_o
<GMStoren> « wow.. I am tired... »
<Rahne> Not too long..  I was kinda disoriented by the.. that rock over there. * Points to a Rahne-shaped outling in the 
  wall that now has a moustache & goatee. * :P
<Chrys> ..And the whole groping Rachel bit.

<Cody> ...I groped Rachel?! O_o
<Cody> What!? I'd never do that!
<Roric> She didn't seem t'mind much.
<GMStoren> « I'm having real problems concentarting. I might just skip the battle today. ^^ »
* Niki notices Rahne point and starts to laugh again.
* Rachel brushes her hair from her eyes and pointedly ignores everyone besides the worker.
<Roric> «ooc: That's because you FOOLISHLY STAYED UP TOO LATE »
* Chrys chuckles and sweatdrops. "Never mind."
<GMStoren> Keylia looks at the wall..
<Rahne> No, Cody..  Chrys is just making things up. :P
* Cody blushes crimson.
* Rachel blinks and touches Key's elbow.
* Chrys looks the wall over, suddenly getting serious again.
<Niki> «ooc: Rachel...tell Cody that he was groping you. Then he can deflate. »
<Chrys> Mushroom-town shouldn't be too far from here...
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, I think you could get a good price for this NIki. Still life in pain meets Pandora graffiti...
<Rachel> <<Heh...s'not where I wanna touch...erm..>>
<Rachel> We going now or what? Rhiana already stormed off...
<Roric> Well, let's get a move on if we're goin'.
<Rahne> We still have to cross through the lower parts of the mountains, do we not?
<Cody> Anyway, Rahne. I was saying...I'm sorry about the eye thing...it's just...well...the person who gave it to me, we 
  sort of made up. And I felt...I shouldn't really tell anyone about it because it might make him or her mad..
<Niki> You think so?  Lookit me...I'm an artist! ^_^
* Rachel nods a little to Roric and heads off after Rhiana..
* Chrys looks at Rachel. "If she wants to storm, let her. I ain't leaving without the rest of you. Safety in numbers, after 
  all."
<GMStoren> Keylia looks up to Rachel. "Huh? Right, yeah, let's go."
* Chrys follows Rachel ^^;
<Rahne> It's okay, Cody..  I understand that you must have had a reason..
<Cody> I feel bad though.
* Rachel looks curiously at Keylia for a moment before fixing her gaze on the horizon..
<GMStoren> You see Rhiana farther up the path...
<Rachel> Hey...Rhiana..!
<Rachel> Wait up..!
* Chrys rushes after Rhiana
* Rhiana turns around, "What?"
* Roric heads off.
* Niki returns to the wall and write...'If you like, call me to buy it.'
<GMStoren> It leads more or less east...
* Cody follows teh others.
<Niki> «ooc: writes even. »
<Cody> «ooc: the, even »

* Cody nods slowly, "Okay...Thanks Rahne..."

* Tori fumbles around in the inner recesses of his mantle, and brings out his trusty, much battered harmonica.
* Rhiana folds her arms

* Tori plays something blues like and follows after the others.
* Niki follows the rest of the party as she finishes up any last touches on the wall.
* Rachel sighs softly and gazes at Rhiana from underneath her chestnut bangs.. "Listen... I'm sorry..."
* Cody quickly shuffles up to Rachel, looking really meek. He mumbles a soft "sorry" into her ear before slinking back to 
  Rahne, looking embarrased still.
<Rhiana> There's nothing to be sorry about.
<Cody> (w) I can't believe I did that...
* Rachel opens her mouth and then closes it, something flickering in her eyes.. "Right...yeah. Let's go."
<GMStoren> Keylia follows you all, but she seems to be preoccupied with something. There's no denying it.
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
* Chrys lags back a bit and looks at Keylia. "Penny for your thoughts?"

<GMStoren> [Keylia] It's just strange to be heading back here Chrys. I'll be fine.
<Rhiana> ..I can't stop it, as much as I'd like to.
<Chrys> "Back here"? You from Wendel or somethin'?
* Rachel looks at Rhiana.. "Yeah...it's okay....I'm still learning..."
* Roric listens to the conversation between Chrys and Key with interest.
* Meira pads along quietly, looking around and thinking to herself as she walks
<Rhiana> ..everyone is still learning.  Life is a long learning experience.
<GMStoren> keylia wiggles ehr ears. "Helloooo... next guess, fucking brigand." ^_^
* Rachel glances back at Keylia protectively but knows that her friend can handle herself well so doesn't crowd her.
<Roric> Upperland?
<Niki> «ooc: LOL...the nickname resurfaces. »
<Chrys> Hey now. I thought you forgot that name. ^_-
* Rachel chuckles lowly.. "Not too long, I hope, Rhi.."
<Chrys> ...Of course the Upperland, Ror'...that's where we're going.
<Rahne> You were restin' on her shoulder, but slipped a bit, Cody..  Chrys just looks for..  the, uhm, more, uhm..  hmm..

<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey now. You did catch what that worker mentioned didn't you?
<Rachel> Trust me, I know that not everything is sunshine and flowers, Rhi....but one has to find joy in what they can...
<Rahne> I don't think Miss Rachel was embarassed.  Besides, she can always wallop Chrys if he goes too far in his..  
  exaggerations.
<Chrys> ...Ah, true.
<Chrys> I didn't know elves had a..well, town. I thought they just kinda met every once in a while.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] If we keep going east past Matango, and cross the Silk Tail River, you reach the lands of Elves and 
  Beasts. And believe me, it ain't a pretty sight right now.
* Cody nods slowly, "I suppose she could. He can whallop people pretty good too, so she should be careful. :)"
* Rhiana nods slowly, "But there are also times when you have to stop running away from the ghosts you know you have and 
  face them."
* Rachel slows a little and looks at Rhiana..
<Rachel> ....
<GMStoren> [Keylia] They've both been organizing against each other... we were loose before, true.
<Roric> Y'know, you'n I gotta get t'gether an whack bushes sometime, eh? Hmm. True. 'Ey, why don' we stop in wherever yer 
  folks are?
* Rahne smiles. * I've faith in Miss Rachel, she's strong.
* Rachel shakes her head a little.. "...maybe you're right...probably."
<Cody> I don't doubt it. She's very strong.
<Rhiana> I'm sorry to say I am right, atleast on this.  
* Rachel let's her ears catch Key's words.. ^^
<GMStoren> Keylia hesitates a minute...
* Meira holds her hands behind her back, still keeping to herself for the most part, being quiet for a change
<Rhiana> ...so you could say I'm using you and Cody for...selfish reasons.
<Rachel> Everybody uses everyone, Rhi..
<Rachel> It's just life..
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Flks.. not much to see, really.
* Roric frowns.
<Chrys> That why you're a merc now?
<Roric> Well, okay then. Kinda know 'ow ya feel. I'm an orphan meself.
<Roric> Ah well. No ties, any'ow.
<Rhiana> Yes, but those who use others simply for their own personal benefit are tyrants and thieves.
<Rachel> Then I guess a lot of us are tyrants..
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Well Ror, there's a big diff between having a chocie about it. But I'm not complaining.
* Chrys catches Rhiana's words. "Hey! I'm not that bad!"
<Rhiana> Not really. 
* Rachel looks back at Keylia..
* Cody overhears the others and wonders if he's a tyrant as well.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You do whatcha gotta do... ^^
* Roric nods to Keylia. "Ah, ya left yer folks?"
<Rhiana> As the Mana Knight, you have a higher cause
<Rhiana> And Cody strives to help his village.
* Rachel blinks and pauses, looking at Rhiana again... ^^;
<Rachel> Yeah....a higher cause.. :p
* Cody also looks at Rhiana.
<Rhiana> higher than my cause, anyway
<GMStoren> [Keylia] No, more like they left me.
<Chrys> ...
* Chrys looks at Keylia and blinks.
<Roric> I see. 'At's jus' rough as guts.
* Rahne looks down at her feet as she walks.. *
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I told ya I didn't have a choice, stud..
<Chrys> Y..
* Rachel rubs where the scar on her neck is and mumbles..
* Cody looks up at the word stud, realizes it's not him, and looks down at his feet again.
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Rhiana> ..but don't worry, if I endanger your mission too much, I'll leave.
<Roric> 'Ey, I didn't either. My folks bit th'big one when I was a rugrat. But y'get by, y'know.

<Rachel> Listen, Rhi.. I don't abandon my friends...and  if you got problems, I'll help you with them..
<Rachel> I promise you that..
<Cody> . o O ( I wonder how Mom and Dad are doing...? )

<Rachel> <<Err happy!>>
* Rhiana shakes her head, "My problems are for me to solve. They shouldn't involve you or anyone else."
<Rhiana> ..I don't want to hurt anyone.
* Chrys glances at Keylia. "Mind if I join you two for that beer?"
* Roric laughs. "Mebbe jus' th'beer."
<Rhiana> ..otherwise I'd be no better than the Empire.
<Rachel> ....I've been hurt a lot. A little more won't kill me. Besides, it's a pain worthwhile.
* Tori slows his playing a bit, staying in the low-mid register. The song takes on a more thoughtful, melancholy tone.
<GMStoren> The tree cover begins to appear, lightly at first, then becoming thicker. A few rays of sunlight start to 
  disappear, blocked by the forest. You can feel soemthing hanging in the air.
* Rachel furrows her brow..
* Chrys feels something hanging in the air.
* Cody smiles a little, feeling more at ease in the forest than in the desert.
<Niki> Hey...it got darker. :/
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hehe... yeah, maybe just the beer.
* Chrys notices a hung corpse and looks the other way
<Rachel> Hm..
<Rhiana> Once you see Rachel, I don't know what you will all want to do.
* Tori abrubtly stops and replaces the harmonica back inside his cloak.
* Rahne snaps her ears up, and listens intently, though she still continues to look down.. *
<Roric> Ah, now this's more like it. No more desert for ol' Ror.
<GMStoren> The GM erases the misplaced prop Chrys saw. That's for later. j/k. ;)
* Tori starts to look around, slightly warily.
* Roric seems cheerful, but is keeping a close watch out.
* Chrys walks back up to Rachel and stops.
* Rachel murmurs.. "I don't abandon my friends...no matter what, Rhi..."

<Rachel> Neither do you.

<Rhiana> About myself?  I do.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Seriosuly though, if one of those furry suckers tries something, I'll give him a time alright.. ;)
* Rachel mumbles. "S'not what I meant..."
<Rachel> Let me get some too, Key ^_- Nobody fucks with my partner!
<Rhiana> The truth about you is that you're the Mana Knight.
* Cody looks curious and takes a few steps further into the forest, eyes alert.
* Rachel looks at Rhiana...
<Rhiana> ..and I'll help you complete your quest simply to spite the Empire alone.
<Rachel> . o O (You think so, don't you. Heh.)
<Rachel> ...
* Rahne looks up, to keep an eye on Cody.. *
<GMStoren> Cody just gets a foreboding feeling, like soemthing far off is approaching. It's relatively peaceful otherwise.
* Rachel nods a little and shrugs her shoulders...she looks at Cody..
* Rhiana winks, "Which is why I'm selfish."
* Chrys blinks. "Damn stone wall. We all got all wierd and depressed after that.
<Cody> ...Something feels wrong...
<Chrys> "
<Chrys> Wrong? How...?
<Rachel> Let's go back and kick it, Chrys.
<Cody> I don't know...
* Rachel looks at Cody..
<Cody> Something's coming...and I don't know what it is...

  or two grazing. ;)

  watching.

<GMStoren> Chrys sees a small reflection in the bubbling water.
* Chrys concentrates harder, trying to make out the reflection.
<GMStoren> [Goblin] What herb? Is good food?
<Rachel> It's a good thing I don't have much... :P
<GMStoren> [Undine] Umm.. I can't quite reach you.. something is blocking me...
<Cody> ^^; Very good. It's best used with cooking.

<GMStoren> [Goblin] You show! :o
<Rachel> . o O (Smooth moves, stud...)
* Roric grumbles, testing the ropes' strength again.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] What's he up to..
* Cody is plopped on the ground, the strange stew dripping off his clothes.
* Cody stands up, "All right. It's this one."
* Niki once again uses all of her strength to try to break free from the ropes.
<Chrys> .oO(Nice, Cody...One I didn't think of... "Because you're an idiot." SHUT UP! Damn!)

<GMStoren> Getting your bearings you find you really weren't dragged that far..
* Rachel scowls a little and looks about..
<GMStoren> It appears the path is off to your left. YOu see some bones in the ground.. maybe former travellers? ^^

  could have ruined my good looks!" 6*quickly pulls out a mirror to check out her personal damage6*
<Cody> I wouldn't mind having a nice long bath right now. This stew is sort of drying on me and it feels really gross... 
  -_-;
<Chrys> I think the goblins had a taste for flesh. ^^;;;
* Roric picks up a nice solid femur and sticks it in his pack.
<GMStoren> A small lake is also near the encampment, their source of water no doubt.
<Rachel> Let's get outta here....I'm sure it'd be fun to sacrifice some virgins...but...
<Chrys> How about we camp by the lake for tonight, guys? ^^
* Tori starins the last of the stew out of his cloak and look a little disapointedly at the puddles of wasted broth on the 
  ground.
<Rahne> I could use the same, Cody..  It's drying in my ears and tail.. -_-
<Rhiana> How about we camp somewhere were I can wash myself
<Rachel> . o O (Skinny dipping with Key? Heheh...)
<Tori> <<Ack.."Strains" -_-;>>
* Cody nods, "We could stay here for tonight....although..."
<GMStoren> The totem pole looks very freaky. It seems to ahve the image of a winged beast on it. In fact, there are 8 of 
  them..
<Tori> *Sigh* what a shame...
* Chrys looks at the pole, getting a VERY uneasy feeling...
* Niki seems to be regaining her strength back as the party continues.
* Rachel pats Tori on the shoulder. ^^; "It's okay...hey, we coulda gotten Key to eat our way out of trouble..." ;)
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I feel like I took a bath in clam chowder...
* Cody also looks at the poles, wondering what they are.
* Roric saunters along, cheerfully oblivious.
<Rachel> Are we staying or going, guys?
<Rahne> The 8 God-Beasts..  :/  I didn't know the Goblins knew...
<Chrys> Thk...
<Tori> Nah..it's just..well, I didn't care for their choice of main ingredient, but as a cook, I have to admit they weren't 
  too bad with their flavoring..
<Cody> Yeah...I thought I knew what they were...
<Cody> I feel uneasy. Maybe we shouldn't stay here.
<Rhiana> I woulda tasted yummu
* Meira steps up to the totem pole, looking it over "Winged beasts are the best beasts.. I speak from personal experience 
  =^^="
<Rhiana> «ooc: ... YUMMY »
* Chrys looks at the totem, quietly drawing his knives...
* Rachel scoops some drying broth off Tori's cheek and eyes it. "Eh. I guess." ^^
<Cody> Chrys?
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 Yummu the trained Killer Whale! 3</ooc>
* Rachel then looks at Chrys curiously..
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Betcha they'd eat you last Meira.. poultry's always the best. ;)
<Rahne> I agree..  I'd prefer to be away from this place..  and I really don't wanna sleep still covered in this stuff. :/
<Roric> Well, also all th'eadless corpses kinda ruin th'ambiance.
<Rhiana> I just want to camp somewhere I can wash myself.
* Chrys pulls out his knives and slices the totem in half with three swift motions. "Not another..."
<Cody> Chrys! O_o
<Roric> Perfect for our little buddin' serial killer tho' Why don' we leaver 'er behind?
* Meira wags a finger at Keylia "I'm only a third bird thank you very much.."
* Niki watches as Chrys does this.
<GMStoren> The knives jam into the wood, as it creaks and topples over.
<GMStoren> One of the heads lays at the ground, cracked down the middle, staring at you.
<Roric> 'At's a great way ter ruin th'blade.
* Meira pouty lips "Why'd you chop it down... I kinda liked the thing.."
<Cody> ^^; I really don't want to stay here now.
* Chrys steps on the head, cracking it the rest of the way. "I'm...sick..and tired...of finding...them..everywhere..."
<Rachel> Chrys...?
<Cody> Chrys! Stop it! Get a hold of yourself.
<Meira> Ooh.. someone's gotta complex..

<Niki> Hey...you didn't dump water on m....grrr.
* Meira blinks "Ooops.. I made her go away =^^=;;"
* Niki drops her stuff and jumps into the pond.
<Niki> «ooc: Clothes still on, so no Rachel comments. ^_- »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I don't think it's you. Something's fishy here.
<Roric> All th'more reason not t'linger, aye?
<Cody> C'mon. Let's go.
<Rachel> Yeah...we should get the hells out....Niki..!
<Cody> Niki! No!
* Meira shows Roric 'the finger' "Do you mean this one? =^^="
* Niki walks out of the pond.
<Cody> «ooc: Watch it be poisoned! Ha! :D »
<Niki> Ahh, that felt good. :D
* Rachel nods a little.. "C'mon.."
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 Oops damn small font, I thought that said t'finger instead of t'linger 3</ooc>
* Rachel heads for the path..
<GMStoren> Niki is wet. Yay. But at least she doesn't smell soupy. ^^
<Meira> 3<ooc>14 strike my last IC comment ^^; 3</ooc>
* Niki picks up her stuff. "Okay, lets go. I feel better now."
* Cody follows Rachel, his hair hanging messily in his face, "I'm glad that things worked out. I was worried I couldn't 
  protect you all..."
* Tori adjusts his cap a bit and strikes the notion of getting a sample of the soup so he can learn how to cook it...that'd 
  be a little odd, even for him.
<Niki> «ooc: The recipe is...anything you find on the road...throw in the pot. »
<Rachel> It was a good job, Cody...good job..
<Chrys> «ooc: Mulligan stew? »
<Chrys> Yeah.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Yeah Cody. YOu;re the best. *Nudges him* ;)
<Chrys> Better than any of the rest of us coulda done - after all, it was your plant knowhow that got us out alive. ^_^
<Cody> After all you've done for me...it was nothing. :) I was glad to help you all. I'm glad everyone's okay. Sorry I sort 
  of chopped some of your hair off.
* Cody blushes. ^^;
<Rachel> It's okay. I was due for a trim anyways...
<Niki> «ooc: Give Cody a buzz cut as revenge! »
<Cody> It's like you said...or someone said. We all have to help each other. :)
* Meira pat pats Cody on the back "Just think of it as treating her split ends =^^="
*** ^_^ (trueblue@ip116.bedford19.ma.pub-ip.psi.net) Quit (Quit: Stolen From Time 2: A Legend Of Old, coming to LunarNet, 
January 2001!)
* Chrys lifts up his shirt sleeve revealing a bit of a bloody gash. "Didn't chop my hair off, but could ya mind fixin' up 
  what ya did chop?" ^^;
<Cody> O_o Oh my gosh!
<Cody> I'm sorry! ^^; I'm not used to running around with pointy objects. Sure, I'll fix it up for you.
<Rachel> Some people just aren't meant to use swords, heh... ^^;
<Cody> Soil and green, mercy's touch, to life and soul, to breath and tears. I pray for thee...
* Cody closes his eyes, and his hands start to glow with a gentle green aura. He then reaches out with an open palm and 
  gently touches Chrys's wounds, causing them to mysteriously vanish, like a bad dream...
<Niki> «ooc: You should have grabbed one of Chrys' daggers. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Don't worry Rachel.. you're a natural. ;)
* Roric grins at Cody. "We'll get ya a good little poker someday."
* Chrys is healed! Huzzah!
<Cody> «ooc: It was the closets and sharpest thing he could find :) »
<Niki> «ooc: You could have dropped your pants and chopped the vines with your...THUNDERWANKER! j/k »
<Rachel> Thanks, Key. ;) It's too bad we couldn't stay at the lake..
<Cody> «ooc: Huzzah! »
* Rachel looks wistful. "I haven't skinny dipped in a long time..!"
<Cody> Yes you-
<Meira> Eeew.. the thought of naked bodies contaminating that semi-decent drinking water...
* Cody shuts up. ^^;
<Roric> Eh, we'll find a nicer lake, then we can all get naked. 
<Chrys> Cod'? Something the matter?
* Rachel blinks and looks amused at Cody.
<Cody> Nothing! ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Oh you naughty girl you! Hehe.. ^_-
<Roric> Or we could do th'gettin' naked now, if y'want.
<Chrys> «ooc: blush! blush! »
<Rachel> <<lol>>
* Rahne looks off into the distance.. * ...
<Rhiana> ...I wouldn't get naked around you at any time....
<Rachel> Sure, Roric, let's just wander around naked, eh? ;)
<Chrys> Roric. We're in a territory where all hell seems to be breaking loose. Now's not the time for nookie. ^_-
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Better idea, let's just move. ^^
<Roric> Sounds fine by me. You can go in fronta me.
* Chrys moves
* Rachel nudges Key with her elbow a little and grins, feeling a little better. "Good idea."
* Roric continues to maintain a steady pace.
* Cody holds Rahne's hand, smiling at her, "Cheer up. :) We're safe now and that's all that matters."
* Niki spits as she taste some of the bitterness from the vines.
* Rahne smiles for Cody, and her tail swishes. * I know, it's just...
* Cody blinks, noticing the smile seems a little forced, "Is something the matter?"
<Rahne> ..I dunno..  It's hard to explain. :/
<Roric> Yer never safe in the woods, mate. Just safer.
* Roric grins roguishly.,
<GMStoren> ooc shall i end? closing comments? I'm dying ehre ^^
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
<Meira> If we're going to take baths in the wild.. I'm not bathing with anyone else, I dont want to lose what little lunch 
  I have...
<GMStoren> « urk. »
<Niki> «ooc: End away Stor. You should rest if you need it. :) »
<Cody> Well...^^; It's just...Um..
* Rachel tugs the neck of her tunic away from her neck, revealing her sore looking scar...she grumbles about the broth 
  irritating it and rubs it gently..
<Roric> «ooc: We're 5 mins over anyhow. ^_^ »
<Cody> I'm sorry if I upset you in any way. It looks like I have...
<Rahne> It's like I..  I don't wanna say 'missed', but that's abou the closest word I can come up with..  I 'missed' 
  something... :/  I don't like the feeling of it..
* Chrys pats Rache on the shoulder again. "Don't worry..next town on the way..."
<Niki> ....The smell of that soup made me hungry.  When do we eat?
<Cody> It's not anything huge. ^^; Well...it's more me doing something dumb and embarrasing Rachel earlier. Things are okay 
  now.
<Rahne> Don't you worry about it, Cody..  it was nothing you did, I'm sure.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] What a one track mind...
* Rachel nods quietly, her eyes taking on a distant look as she cups the scar, her gaze ahead..
<Rachel> <<I'm done ^^>>
<Niki> Its not my fault that I'm hungry.  They really didn't give me anything to eat when they locked me up in that room!
* Cody looks at Rahne quietly, and turns towards the road, pondering.
<Roric> Let's continue 'at practice.
<GMStoren> You all head back to the road, amazed how a bit of knowledge and a sprig of weed could save so many lives. 
  Perhaps that is magical in itself. But is it enough for the new dangr looming ahead?
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION END ~~
<Roric> «ooc: Whee, I got the final snide comment. Damn Niki. ^%_^ »
<Cody> Tah dah!
<Rahne> ^_^
