Session Start: Sun Dec 17 21:12:09 2000 * Logging #Pureland to 'logs\#pureland.log' «ooc: heh. WARPG-style. » «ooc: Naw, it isn't blue. » It's been some time since Cody was taken to the chambers to undergo his makeover to hopefully end the long war. The rest of you had eventually stumbled back to a community forge Watts had "Borrowed" and got more powerful weapons for the battle ahead! «ooc: The battle we will have on 'Gladiators' will indeed be a difficult battle, Kimosabe! » Now, all you have left to do is wait for the arrival of Ms. Cody. *snicker* «ooc: even the GM is agaisnt me now ;) » « you may go. :) » «ooc: * GMStoren hands out cameras to everyone. » * Rhiana fiddles with her new whip some <> «ooc: Mystere's Theme rules ;D » «ooc: Rachel is one of those clown punching bags. Punch her, and she tilts to the left, then back up she goes. :D » * Roric is unusually quiet, and looks a little surly. «ooc: Roric: No beer makes Roric...something something. "Go crazy?" Roric: Don't mind if I do! » Keylia randomly wanders around, looking a little impatient. She ends up bumping into a strange elf making his way to the group... * Rahne waits aprehensively, wringing her tail and staring off into space.. * <<*snickers!* randomly wanders :o>> *** DNW is now known as Jeffery Watts has an..interesting taste in making whips. * Niki is swinging around her axe, getting a feel for it. * Rachel twirls the Herald Sword once before sheathing it at her side... «ooc: Who has Cody's weapon, btw? ^^ » [Keylia] Hey watch where you're... *blinks* geez, what a fruit. ^^ * Jeffery enters the room with a combination mince/waltz step, ambling over to the PCs. His feather boa and shoes match quite nicely with his belt <> «ooc: No one! We used all of the weapon orb, you don't get an upgrade! HAHAHA! » «ooc: ;_; » Darlings! ^_^ ... O_o «ooc: holy shit, Niki's axe has a sweet-ass bonus. @_@ » « Ys.. ^^ » «ooc: :D » « *pounds e key* » «ooc: Wanderers from Ys. » «ooc: Back! » * Tori reaches behind him, locks his hands and stretches, his back audibly cricking. * Rhiana snaps her cat of nine tails down as Jeffrey enters * Jeffery stops in front of the group, bringing his glasses down slightly "Are we all feeling super today?" ^_^ * Roric glares at Jeffrey, but doesn't bother to, you know, get up or anything. ....Yes. Super. * Chrys rolls his eyes. We're shuper! thanhks for athking! « ^^ » «ooc: Knew that was coming ;) » Who the hell are you, RuPaul? * Rachel sticks her tongue out a little at Chrys. * Jeffery claps his hands together, "Marvelous! Oh don't you all look just sooo dashing! Three points for you all" ^_^ «ooc: NO OOC REF BAD » . o O (Grouch.) «ooc: I was talking to Jeffrey, not Rachel. » <> Points? ^^; * Rahne shies away from the strange man.. * ...um..yeah..three points for me. Keylia....make the bad man go away. * Rachel looks scared. [Keylia] Of course I'm dashing. I always dres to impress. ;) * Niki sweatdrops. "Who is this dork?" * Chrys looks at Rhiana. "Funny, I only see two. Or are you counting the one on the top of yer head?" «ooc: ...heheh. » «ooc: Oogh ^^ » Pardon me for dusturbing the feng shui, but has the dear Princess made her glorious debut yet? ^_^ « Ouch :o » * Rahne scowls.. * -_- * Rhiana narrows her eyes at Chrys, "How'd you like me to rip your one point off." Er, no, he hasn't.. ^^; «ooc: Hehe. I love the dynamic in this group. » * Rachel wonders idly if she'll hafta spray Chrys and Rhi with some cold water. * Cody 's voice wafts in from somewhere afar....it sounds sort of muffled, "I'm no Princess!" * Chrys <> * Jeffery looks over to where Cody's voice came from * Rachel blinks curiously and straightens her shoulders a bit, looking towards Cody's voice. ^^ Now now my little jewel muffin, we can't have such bad vibes from the dear spring princess! ...jewel muffin..? * Jeffery sachets over to where Cody is hiding Turning around, you see Cody stepping along one step at a time in a pink evening gown... :o Spring princess...?! * Chrys wideeyes and holds back laughter. Come along now dear heart ^_^ * Rahne continues to wring her tail, and looks at Cody sympathetically.. * :/ * Niki looks at Cody with a blank face. * Rhiana folds her arms, "Poor kid..he must feel horrible right now." * Cody looks mortified. -_-; Besides the pink dress...he's also wearing a frilly pink corset, a poofy wig, and has fake breasts that are at least a D cup -_-; * Niki falls to the floor and starts laughing away! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! * Rachel sweatdrops at Niki and then offers Cody a faintly reassuring grin. ^^; * Cody shriks back, "I'm not coming! -_-;" * Chrys blinks, shocked. * Jeffery offers Cody an arm, "Come along now your mejesty. Let not the trivial word of the socially challenged bother you «ooc: shrinks » Keylia stands there, like she doesn't know whther to laugh, cry, or both. ^^ Better watch out Cody, I think Chrys is now attracted to you. Hey..socially challenged? ^^; * Niki is laughing so hard that tears come to her eyes. * Chrys blinks again, unable to find much else to do without busting out into laughter. * Cody sweatdrops. ^^; Stop laughing. -_- [Keylia] It's.. uh.. heh.. really you, EL.. I mean Cody.. hehe... * Jeffery flips his feather boa around, giving dirty looks to those that are laughing * Rachel jabs her elbow into Keylia gently. ^^; Yeah...yeah...-_-; I don't see what's so funny, I wouldn't be caught wearing that either. Me neither. ^^; * Niki stands up and walks over to Cody. "Hello...*chuckle* Prince......"*starts laughing again* Yeah... Colette... ^_- You doing anything after this little adventure? If not, I could always buy you a drink, sexy... [Keylia] Well, he looks the part.. we got nothing to worry about! ;) *nudges Rachel back* * Roric remains conspicuously silent. * Chrys saunters up to Cody slowly, waiting for his reaction.. * Cody shakes his head, "Let's...just go, okay? The sooner I get out of this dress the better. (m) And the sooner I jump off a cliff." Feel free to ignore Chrys, Cody. Since he's struck out with all the ladies in the group, he's now trying for the men. «ooc: Hehe. Rahne's being so quiet. » * Jeffery hrmphs, "Well, I think you look absolutely regal, Princess." * Cody glares at Chrys. -_-; * Rachel rolls her eyes a bit in faint amusement and crosses her arms. "Yeah...let's...stop this." ^^; * Jeffery tugs Cody, "Come along now your majesty, your carrige awaits." * Niki tries to stop laughing, but that in turn causes her to laugh even more. I have a carriage? O_o What? * Rahne grumbles. * Hefts her spear. Stop this. All of you. He didn't have a choice. And I'll cram this thing up your nose if you say anything more. -_- * Chrys smiles and nudges Cody briefly. "Don't worry, I'm kidding around. It'll be fine... we'll be done with this faster than you'd expect. Down, Rahne. ^^; The faster the better...please... ^^: I can't breathe in this corset. «ooc: Rahne SAID "Hefts her spear"? O_o » Of course you do silly! We can't have the Princess dirtying herself by walking around now can we? << Whoops. Something to be corrected. ^^; >> Ugh. A corset. My friends get a ride too...right? You see in the distance near a treehouse is tethered a green and gold carriage, drawn by two strong looking yellow chocobos. :) Oh dear, they have you in a corset? * Chrys winces. "Rupaul made you wear a corset? Ouch." * Roric stands up finally, glancing at Rachel. "Ya can't drive." [Keylia] Sure.. we have to come along and guard you, Cody.. ;) Oh wow...can I dri-.. No wonder he looks so...tied up. I never wear those things. «ooc: lol » * Rachel scowls at Roric good naturedly. ;) * Cody nods. -_-; "If you've worn them before...I want to know how you wear them..." * Roric grins and heads to the carriage. * Jeffery leads Cody to the carrige, "Put on a brave face Princess. Never let them see you afraid." * Chrys glances sidelong at Cody. "I think they're meant to hang criminals, not to -wear-..." * Cody tries to walk to the carriage....then trips on his two inch heels and crumples to the ground... ^^; Actually Cody, you work your butt off so that your body can look like that without wearing it..it's torture «ooc: Hehe. CHeered him up a bit. » * Niki follows along wiping the tears from her eyes. * Chrys grabs Cody before he hits the ground completely. * Rahne helps Cody back up.. * :/ * Rachel stands beside her partner, watching the commotion. ^^; "....this is....interesting." Thanks, Rahne. Looks like he'll need some help walking, huh? ^^; I don't have an hourglass figure... ^^;;; I shouldn't...I'm a boy... * Cody takes Rahne's hand and blushes a bit. ^^: * Rahne brushes the dirt off of the dress. * I don't like this.. not one bit.. -_- As long as no one takes a picture... ^^; Yes Cody...but that's what you boys like..so I worked hard to get one. Keylia hops ahead, talking with a slender elf man in the driver's seat. He's wearing a dress uniform, obviously the chaffeur this afternoon. * Rahne helps to steady Cody.. * Cody...! You have to hold your breathe slightly, up in your chest, that way you feel lighter on your feet! * Chrys helps Rahne steady Cody ^^; * Niki overhears that. "A picture! Yeah!" Well...I don't like corsets. ^^; So I don't like hourglass figures. <> But I can't breathe at all! I know. ^^; Well not all ladies who have an hourglass figure wear those But you have to pretend you're light. * Niki wonders if she has a camera in her satchel. That way you walk better. «ooc: Rhiana: Like me, bitch! » Good luck Princess, I have complete faith in you! Kiss, kiss! ^_^ * Rhiana winks, "Take me, for instance." «ooc: Cameras exist in the SoM world, Storen? » (m) Agh. O_o Don't kiss me... * Cody wideeyes at Jeffery and waves just to make him go away ^^; «ooc: I don't think so. But then, I don't think RuPaul does either. ^_~ » * Chrys blinks. "Um, guy... go sell Meal and Deal cards or something. Please get away from us. «ooc: LOL! » * Rachel looks disturbed at Jeffery and then heads to Cody's side with the others... "Cody...try to look regal...square your jaw and hold your head high.." « heh.. » «ooc: Gack! Queer! » «ooc: LOL ^^ » «ooc: LOL » <> * Jeffery turns away again, singing a happy tune, swinging his hips most suggestively, and twirling the end of his feather boa * Cody tries to hold his head high, like Rachel said, "Do...do I look okay?" Yeah, you look great, Cody. :) You'll do fine! * Tori eyes rachel for a moment "Have a lot of experience with nobility, rachel?" *** Jeffery is now known as DNW * Cody then tries to speak in his best falsetto voice, "Thank you, Lady Rachel!" Keylia holds the door to the plush interior open, bowing rather playfully. «ooc: I found a bigass piece of tinsel at school and wore it like a feather boa all day on Friday. It was cool. » * Rachel grins. "Go get'em stud.." Under the circumstances, yes.. you'll look better when this is all over though.. * Rachel blinks and pauses, looking at Tori curiously.. No, why do you ask? Yeah, and lord knows you'll feel better, Cody... ^^;; * Tori grins, slightly... * Rhiana snickers at Tori, "For someone who doesn't talk about himself much, you sure do seem to find sore spots to question people about." No reason.. « Ooo :) » ^^; I might as well make the best of this.... * Rachel lets her gaze linger on Tori for a moment.. «ooc: BRB. This calls for dew! » * Tori regards Rhiana "it's part of the job.." «ooc: Yeah, I'd do him » * Rhiana raises an eyebrow, "What job?" Aww, no camera. That sucks. «ooc: Tori's a psychiatrist! » . . . * Rahne tries to smile bravely. * If you want.. I'll dress up as a boy later, and then we can be even. * Rachel then turns to look back at Cody. "You'll do great. I'll buy you a drink afterwards to make you feel...uh...reaffirmed of your manhood." * Niki pulls out a pencil and paper and does her best to start drawing Cody. <> ^^; Rahne...there's no need...It's okay...! «ooc: They should both decide they like crossdressing and leave it that way. » <> Oh...by the way, Rahne? Can I talk to you in private a little later? ^^: Now now Tori, you really should be more open. ... ^^; Afterall, we're all friends here...and Chrys «ooc: *resists the urge to think exactly what Roric OOCed » Ah, let th'bloke 'ave a few secrets. Once this whole mess is sorted out, that is. :) * Rahne looks at Cody for a short minute before nodding. * Of course, yes. [Chaffeur] I'll do my best to take you to the wind palace.. please come along or we may be late. Can we just go, already?! ^^; All the pinkness is blinding me. Great...:) Hey now, Rhi...just because I don't get along with you two doesn't mean I'm not without support in this group... * Chrys glares «ooc: Rahne.oO(Darn! Almost had an excuse to be in drag!) » * Rachel reaches out to touch Chrys's arm gently. * Cody gacks as his wig slides a bit off his head, and he tries to right it. ^^; * Niki sits down and starts drawing Cody, trying to keep a serious face. Keylia is still holding the door open for Cody, grumblign a bit as she bows in mock formality. * Cody sweatdrops at Keylia, "Sorry about all of this...^^;" * Rhiana sits down, gazing at Cody for a second, trying to place him... * Cody hobbles into the carriage. ^^; Wow...from mercenary to door woman... ^^; «ooc: er....Tori » «ooc: Not Cody, Tori » Lalala, the puffy hair, the face... * Tori leans back and just stares straight ahead. * Chrys hops in after Cody. ^^; Cody find the interior really very comfortable. The windows are a bit small, so nt many wuld be able to see you easily. :) Wow...leather seats... O_o * Rachel pauses, not wanting to be crammed inside with them. ^^; Elmira really goes places in style, doesn't she? * Rhiana coughs, "That's my lap, Cody...." Yep! Nothin' says comfort like dead cow. . o O (....I hate carriages.) ...O_o Oh my gosh! Sorry Rhiana! And the balloons. Oh can't forget the giant dress! * Chrys steps out after realizing how small it is inside. "Hmm. What say we walk there and let Cody take the carriage?" * Cody scoots over! «ooc: O_O AHGAHG LOL » I guess that's what Royalty does.. No one has anything like this in Mandala. [Keylia] Get the rear seats guys.. I'll be on top! ;) * Rhiana giggles, "Don't worry about it." O_o Wow, Key. «ooc: LOL Key. On top of WHAT? ^_- » That was way obscene, even for you. ;) Keylia grabs the edge of the carriage and vaults up, nearly giving the driver a hart attack as she plops next to him, leaning on his arm and chuckling. And to finish it off...the stupid looking shoes with a stick on the bottom of them. * Roric snickers. "In Mandala 'is thin'd throw a wheel at th'first dip." [Chaffeur] *^^*; * Rachel shoves Chrys into the carriage again. * Rachel hops in after him. * Chrys nudges Niki. "Hey, you'd be able to draw him better if you got in the carriage with him..." * Chrys gets shoved in with Rachel * Cody tries to look meek and small, his white gloves making his hands look...dainty ;_; * Rachel oofs. ^^ * Niki nods. «ooc: Cody is sexy this way. Let's make him stay in that outfit. :D » Okay, but you have to tell me how good it is after that. :D There's enough room for you all.. behind the main compartment is two rows of seats for everyone. Presumably this would be the princess's entourage. «ooc: ^^ Let's not. » «ooc: You know Tahn woulda been perfect for this role, what a pussy :D » Um...okay, if you promise not to beat me up for it. ^^; Ah! Who's touching my br...my...balloons! «ooc: LOL fux j00' » * Niki hops in the carriage, and turns to the next blank page. * Cody blushes like crazy. ^^; <> «ooc: ...no. ;_; » « everyone in? » * Chrys blinks and removes his hand. "Er, sorry!" What're your breasts made of anyways, Cody? O_o God it sounds weird to ask that. ^^; * Chrys laughs. Maple Syrup. ^^: * Rahne blushes at that question. * ^^; ...he's feeling up Cody..and I didn't think we could get any lower... * Chrys blinks and laughs more. Wow.. ^^; * Cody blushes at Rhiana's words and sinks into his chair. ^^; If those burst, you'll be in trouble. Driver! Let's go please please please... ^^; ^^; « I'll assume everyone's in :) » <> * Niki uses her fingers to place a frame around Cody's face. Hmm... Niki...what are you doing? O_o < «ooc: It's a special attack, he can throw them! * Cody uses Breast Bomb! » «ooc: There wan an on top comment? » «ooc: heh. » <> ...who the hell is that guy... «ooc: Damn! Missed it. » I'm drawing you so I can always get a good laugh when I need it. ^_^ * Rachel sits back, gazing at her lap. No! O_o * Chrys squirms. "Aw man...why can't I be on top, too...?" :\ Please don't! * Cody tries to reach over, to grab the picture! ;_; Everyone inside, you close the door behind you and get ready to shove off. The driver cracks the twin reins as the chocbos exude hasty Kwehs and Warks, starting to move forward. :) * Niki pulls the paper away from Cody. «ooc: KWEHHHHH » * Cody hten falls out of his chair as he does so! O_o OW! * Roric gets slightly surly again. * Rahne shouts out! * Look Niki!, It's that shadow-thing! * Rahne yoinks the pad while Niki is distracted, and throws it out the carriage window! * «ooc: LOL ^^ » «ooc: Hey Tori, wanna draw Cody as a female. ;) » * Chrys blinks as he gets a nice view of Cody's fakened cleavage. "Hey, now. None of that here, Cody. I'm already enough of a loser in this group's eyes..." Hey! * Rahne helps Cody back into the seat. * Careful now.. « btw, Keylia's comment was get the rear seats, I'll be on top :) » * Niki kicks Rahne. <> * Rachel grumbles good-naturedly. "Hmph... figures she'd get to ride on top.... me, her loyal partner, is left to be scrunched into the sweaty cross dressing carriage..." Ow! Stop that, Niki. Pink is such an ugly color anyway. * Cody thanks Rahne and blushes at Chrys' words, "Don't get too attached to balloons, Chrys. ^^: Not quite the real thing." * Niki digs through her stachel and pull out one piece of paper. *** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 14: Female Turbulence | Loc: Upperland Forests - South | Time: Luna's Day, Daytime | 2 Luc -=- Get your Cody blackmail material while it's hot! :)' THAT'S...KIND...OF...MY...POINT. * Cody shrinks back, "You don't have to yell. O_O" Cody...want me to teach you something about being a girl «ooc: I...RESTORE...YOUR...MP. » I wasn't. ^^; Um...^^; Sure, Rhiana. «ooc: Y^@*)RHWF «ooc: LOLK » * Rachel shakes her head and tries to tune everyone out, gazing out the small carriage window. When someone feels your no no parts like that You do this Oh, I think I know.. * Rhiana decks Chrys across the chops «ooc: Oh, god. She's... » .... You watch the last recesses of the Elven encampment fade from view, replaced by trees, as you follow a road southwards, and over the bridge at the Silktail river. «ooc: Yep. » * Cody gets a wry grin and slaps Chrys at the same time ^_- * Chrys takes it like a good little wussy man Ooh! I'll draw that! * Roric pulls his headband over his eyes and tries to get some sleep. * Tori grins, despite himself. * Chrys rolls his eyes. "'Ey! Driver! Stop the car! I'm walkin' home!" * Niki starts drawing. * Rhiana grins, "Good. Do that and shake your butt little more when you walk and we'll have you being a girl in no time." ....I will not kill everyone... I will not kill everyone... Lets see, the big stupid purple hair... * Rachel says this out loud, over and over. ^^; Oh come on, Chrys. If I have to pose as a girl, I might as well TRY to make the best out of it. And you deserved a slap, feeling up my breasts like that. * Niki mumbles on about the rest of the drawing of Chrys. ...Go ahead, kill everyone. That's what I'd do in this situation, Rache. Okay! Now...the big girly Cody hand on his face! Augh. * Chrys mumbles something in Rachel's ear. * Cody looks at Niki, "Niki! Chrys is rummaging through your bag!" Everyone will have to behave themselves considerably more than they are now, if this is to be believed by the Beastmen... * Niki is to busy drawing. ...Feh. -_- <> * Rachel gazes sympathetically at Chrys.. Okay...the hair, head, balloons, stupid giant dress. Done! * Rachel squeezes his arm a little. * Chrys blinks Uh.. o.o * Cody sighs and begins to look meloncholy again... * Niki shows everyone a drawing of Cody bitch slapping Chrys. She also makes sure to hold on the paper tightly. * Rahne accidentally kicks the satchel and the paper as the carriage jostles, leaving a couple big marring lines through Niki's drawing, ruining it. * «ooc: *punches a hole in the paper* :D » «ooc: Nah. I sleep. » * Rachel watches Rahne and sighs. ^^; «ooc: IC or OOC, Ror? » The forest gets a bit thicker, that omnious fog returning. In fact it seems to hang even more weightily on the landscape as you go by. * Rahne says to Cody quietly. * No much longer... not much longer... «ooc: IC. » ....Rahne is right. We have to act the part.. * Niki was holding up the paper at the time, so it isn't damaged. :D * Cody smiles at Rahne, "I hope not much longer...it's hard to breathe...." (m) La la la...all work and no play makes Chrys a dull thief... * Tori rests his head against the window and idly watches the scenery go by. Okay, you all saw it. *folds it up and puts it in her satchel.* ...then we dont' need bodyguards gettin' fresh with the Princess. <> «ooc: I'm sure you will. But right now? ;) » I've never actually had to wear one of those... I'm just a servant... * Niki grabs her satchel and holds it close to her. Hey, some bodyguards are known for that....course, they always lose their hands, right? * Cody looks at Rachel, something in his eyes she can't quite make out, then looks out the window... * Chrys quietly holds up a hand to Rhiana and extends the second finger from the thumb. * Rachel blinks curiously at Cody.. Well, you shouldn't have to. ^^; It's horrid to breathe in one of these things... * Roric sighs and pulls his headband up again, sitting up straight and keeping watch in the encrouching mist. Not even on your birthday, my friend. Chrys...Rhi...please stop? Don't make a grown woman beg. I'm not that desperate, and you're certainly not that lucky. After a while of travelling the backroads, the tree cover seems to thin some, and the carriage comes to a halt. * Chrys resists obvious comments, as well as resisting the urge to rip out Rhiana's tongue and feed it to her with a fine hummus. <<....I was waiting for the obvious comment. ;)>> 'Zis it? * Rahne sighs.. * Finally.. Mm.....probably.. * Cody has fallen asleep. ^^: Keylia comes around and opens the side doors. "This place is creepy.. see for yourself." * Rachel slides out in a hurry ^^; * Chrys pokes Cody's forehead. * Roric hops out of the carriage and surveys his surroundings. Mmm...? * Rahne gently shakes Cody's shoulder. * Cody...? Cody...? * Cody opens his eyes, "Oh...are we there...? ^^;" Wake up, Sleepin' Beauty. We're here. * Rachel looks around curiously.. * Chrys slides out after Rachel. * Rahne nods. * I think so, yep. * Tori climbs out and adjusts his cloak as he looks around. Oh...okay... * Cody hops up, then falls on his bottom ^^; Landing on the ground you notice the carriage has stopped as the path has broken up slightly, and the trees part around what appears to be a hut or two in the distance. We're here, Your Highness. * Rhiana exits, still watching Tori..trying to figure him out * Niki hops out of the carriage. * Rachel straightens her shoulders and looks about... Are you read-- Ack.. * Helps Cody back up. * ...hmm. *** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 14: Female Turbulence | Loc: Ruins of Sprite Village | Time: Luna's Day, Daytime | 2 Luc -=- Get your Cody blackmail material while it's hot! :)' I really wish I didn't have to wear these shoes... * Tori catches Rhiana's look for a moment. . . . «ooc: Got mine blackmail material! :D » * Cody hmms..."Maybe If I took off the heels..." * Tori turns away. * Roric coughs. "Appearance is very important, Your Highness. You must look your best." * Rachel mumbles so Cody can hear. "Take 'em off...you won't see them under the dress." You won't for much longer... I'm sure if I didn't have my tail, I'd fall over if I wore them too. * Niki looks at Cody. "Your suppose to day inside I think." «ooc: Rahne wears heels? O_o » . o O (Who is he..he knows too much...) [Chaffeur] I can't take the carriage any further, sister. The palace is close to here, after passing through the Sprite's Village.. rest their souls. * Cody nods, and takes off his shoes, placing them under the seat. << Not right now she's not. But she has in the past. ^^ >> «ooc: She's the sort of priestess you see in those pornos. :D » . o O ( I wonder what's for dinner..) <> ... «ooc: BEEF! » * Cody walks outside of the carriage, and takes up the most royal air he can. * Rachel keeps a hand on the hilt of her sword.... The mist rolls around eerily, like something's aware of your arrival. * Rachel heads up beside Keylia, peering ahead... «ooc: HIKARU'S MOM jumps out! » «ooc: Uh. NM. » [Keylia] Guess time to take the Princess to the Palace, eh? Let's get the lead out, boys. ;) «ooc: @$&$@)(&%$@# » * Rhiana jerks her head to the mist, "This looks famliar..." * Cody nods to his friends, and speaks in his besr falsetto voice, "Lead me on..." «ooc: best » Form a protective barrier around the princess. (q) It's fog. Course it's f'miliar. * Rachel says this in the best authoritive voice she has... * Roric takes up the rear. * Rahne is a short distance behind Cody, appearing not unlike a lady in waiting. * «ooc: No gay jokes. » * Rachel takes the lead ^^ * Chrys glances at Rhiana, odd look on his face. "It's not that green death fog that turns you inside out, is it?" « aww :) » «ooc: Damn. ;) » ...No...it's hard to tell..but I've seen this happen before... <> . o O ( Something...feels odd... ) You think you spot what appears to be a tower in the distance. Right. Let's move out. (q) 'At must be th'place. * Chrys stands between Rachel and Roric, in other words, he takes the -duh- middle * Rachel heads towards the tower.. ^^ * Cody walks along, trying not to cut his feet on the cobblestone path. Keylia stands by Rachel and COdy, keeping watch as they advance. * Rhiana readies her Cat of Nine Tails, "...could it be...?" «ooc: Rhiana: SATAN? » <> * Rahne says quietly.. * I should have given you my sandals.. * Rachel quietly advances, looking about.. (w) It's okay...don't worry... * Chrys lemmings! ...hard to tell...if she had done it...she woulda done something by now... * Niki draws her axe follows the rest of the party, keeping up with Keylia and Rachel in the front. * Rachel is tensed, her fingers twitching with the need to draw her sword.. (w) Rhiana...what are you talking about? .oO(Great. Rhiana, as usual, thinks one of her Empire drinking buddies are involved.) * Tori slides his ahands in his pockets and follows along, unconcernec by the general creepiness. You proceed into the ruins of a village, several huts about as tall as your shoulders in various states of disarray. Some roofs bear scorch marks, others caved in totally. A few colorful ceramics and beads lay strew about, colros faded from exposure. ...Nakano...but it's not her... * Rachel murmurs softly, sounding sad... "This is so bad..." [Keylia] Hard to believe the Sprites are gone... * Cody frowns at the neglect and destruction... * Niki tries walking into one of the houses. It's just not right... * Cody then blinks, "Uh...how do I pay hommage? ^^; Is there a ritual or something?" It's sad... :/ How do you guys know they are, Key, Rache? The Mana Sword's still around, so there could still be sprites SOMEWHERE, couldn't there...? (m) Never saw one b'efore any'ow...makes no difference t'me. . o O ( I did see a sprite...but not while awake...was that really a sprite in my dream...? ) I...don't know, Chrys...but to see all this...it's.. Horrible. ...No..it's certainly not Nankano.. I think it's just the way things are..ever since she decided she hated us, the things that were closest to her have been the ones first to disappear. Upon a raised slab of rock, sits something that's not so worn, or destroyed. It's hard to see in the cloudy air, but it's what appears to be an altar, two solitary candle burning with a magical amber light that seems to drive the fog back. * Cody begins to look cold and wraps his hands around his shoulders. It makes you wonder...could whatever did this...turn to us humans as their next target...? * Roric blinks at Tori. Most likely. * Rachel murmurs softly, her reply dying as her gaze lands on the candles.. "....I'll fight them to my death..." «ooc: *wrecks the candles for fun* » Who are you talking about, Tori? Who else? [Keylia] This must be it. It's an altar. The goddess. The...goddess? * Chrys nods. Princess Elmira. * Cody blinks, "But...No...that can't be true...there's... * Rhiana folds her arms, "Tori is a pretty smart guy, considering how quiet he is." [Keylia] What about the goddess? * Cody looks to Rachel, "(falsetto) Yes...right...!" Princess Elmira! Best kung-fu still inside you! Go up to the altar, dimwit... ^^; * Roric shrugs at Keylia. "She's a catty bitch. What else's new?" Keylia turns her head rather abruptly. Shall I escort you to the altar? * Cody gets down on his knees, and clasps his hands in a prayer like fashion, closing his eyes. «ooc: I think Ash should lose XP for each OOC reference. ;P » «ooc: Blah. » « lol :) » <> «ooc: Although that ref was stupid. » «ooc: *looks at Rachel* » «ooc: Yeah, it was. » * Tori looks at Keylia "It's just that I think it's pretty obvious that she hates us all..She's abandoned us or worse." <> ..of course he probably thinks he knows some thinhgs he really doesn't. ...can we have this debate later...? Cody.. that is.. Elmira, pays respects. You feel very solemn in this place... (Falsetto) To the souls that have departed...we wish you peace in the world you now reside in... * Rachel goes quiet, listening for any danger.. * Chrys turns his head to Rhiana, whispering. "Everyone does." * Roric grumbles under his breath. * Chrys goes quiet and gazes at Cody. [Keylia] Don't be so quick to judge, Tori. I don't think the Goddess abandoned us if the Mana sword is still shining over there.. it'll work out.. * Rachel glances at Keylia with that but then slides her eyes back to the scenery. . o O ( But the Mana tree is gone...is there even a Goddess anymore...? ) * Cody continues to offer prayers, his voice a soft whisper. The silence is broken by a whizzing sound... ...?! * Niki pulls her axe up as she hears that. * Chrys snaps around, trying to see what made the sound! . o O ( Wha...? ) * Rahne 's ears snap up, and she spins around! * * Rachel draws her sword and steps up to Cody.. "Watch it!" «ooc: *zips up his pants* Sorry. » Wha--? * Rhiana eyeballs Tori, "You should tell us how you get your inf...watch out!" «ooc: Hee hee, Roric :) » . o O (funny, you didn't strike me as the naive type, Keylia). A rain of dagger lands in the middle of the group, around Cody, driving you back as you look around for the source. Cody..! <> * Cody stands up, wide eying! <> * Rhiana pulls her whip, "Identify yourself!" * Rahne remains in between Cody and the knives' path ! * Run Cody! * Chrys rolls his eyes, dodging daggers. "Like that's gonna work..." * Roric dives and rolls, bouncing back to his feet with his weapon out. "Get yer 'airy arses out 'ere!" The daggers seem to expand, a wall of spikes creating a cage around the princess! ^^ * Rachel holds the wicked looking latest incarnation of the Mana Sword... "Shit.." ...Princess! * Cody tries to run, but he's trapped! O_o << Ack... or maybe I don't. ^^; >> Fine, be that way. [Keylia] Oh shit. * Rhiana looks for the source of the daggers <<* Rahne gets skewered by spikes! Rachel: Hee!!>> * Rachel narrows her eyes and looks about.. * Chrys draws his own daggers and makes a mental note to get extendo-daggers like that. «ooc: *thinks sometime Rahne should actually DIE when she selflessly sacrifices herself for COdy* :P » * Cody turns to the others and mouths, "Don't say my name!' * Tori draws Seraph's blood and calmly glances around for targets. On top of the cage lands a rather large hardy beastman, dressed in large furs. .... [Beastman] Hah, you thought it would be that simple? Get down 'ere an' let's settle 'is, bastard! Oh, look. It's jungle boy. And YOU thought it would be that simple? Let her go, Monkey Boy * Chrys looks at Rhiana, surprised that he's starting to think somewhat like her. [Beastman] This war ends... and her life ends.. now.. ....over my dead body. Have a ball...or a Fireball ...Princess, please pop one. ^^; <> No...er...(Falsetto), No! * Rhiana flicks a fireball at the beastman * Rahne raises her spear.. * He picks up the cage with amazing strength, hopping backwards with Elmira in his clutches as it disappates! The attacks are avoided! :o * Roric chases. * Cody doesn't even have time to cry out before he's snatched away! O_o ... * Chrys bastes. A small knife slides out from his hand, ready to slit Elmira's throat. You limey bastard! «ooc: limey! » «ooc: He's british! Kill him! » Are you so stupid as to even realize...?! * Cody struggles a bit! «ooc: Not even, even » * Rachel glances at Keylia and then growls, stepping forward.. * Rahne looks panicked! * * Tori takes aim, then lowers the pistol when he realizes he can't take the shot. [Beatsman] *looks down at Elmira* Glad you've said you're prayers, little.. * Rhiana readies her whip, "You'll have to find someone else's leg to hump, that girl is coming with us." . o O ( Why did I ever agree to this...! ) * Cody struggles harder, but doesn't say anything. <> The beastman suddenly stops, glaraing into your face. Little man. You've been duped, nature boy. (Falsetto) Oh yes...I've said my prayers... [Beastman] ...you... you're not the princess! * Rahne tenses.. * * Rachel is tensed, waiting for an opening.. Ain't you a smart cookie. Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. * Chrys clutches his daggers harder. * Cody grins and reaches down into his corset, pulling out both ballons, and SMASHING them in the beastmans face, "And now here's the prayers of everyone in Kippo!" <> .. O_o «ooc: How dramatic. We need a slow-motion shot of that! » * Rachel dips her sword a bit, blinking. ...wow, Cody was one ticked off little girl. The ebastman is caught full on in the face by sticky maple syrup, staggering back. o_o «ooc: Preferably with the 2001 music playing. :D » [Keylia] Way to go Cody! * Chrys smirks. "That's our Cody." I'd love to have breasts like those.. * Cody gets out of the beastman's grasp, and runs back to the party! ^^ What? Filled with maple syrup? Good job, stud! Thank you...and now...! * Chrys smirks at Rachel. "Really...?" Powerful and effective, Tori ;) * Niki runs towards the Beastman, swinging her axe. It's then you ntoice it's not a beastman clutching it's face in anger, but the slim form of a woman, clad in a shadowy cape with long black hair.. «ooc: Gah! It's Shrike! » * Cody unzips his dress and manages to take it off in one swift motion, leaving him in a camosole and pantaloons...and a corset, of course. ^^ «ooc: I THOUGHT THE SAME THING » And you could do really kinky stuff with pancakes too, I guess. ...looks like you're not the only one playing dress up, Cody ...You! * Rahne breathes a bit easier, Cody directly out of harms way.. * You're ...Nakano?! [Nakano] ...your'e the little brat from Kippo. The one the curse spared. * Roric blinks. "'Ey, yer a bit 'otter than th'usual beastman." ... <> YOU! Oogh...you BITCH! Nakano pulls out two kunais. ...looks like I shoulda went with my gut feeling. Cody...steady.....! * Tori draws swiftly and takes aim. This is for everyone you've hurt! Drop them. * Rahne lets out a small shout and charges charges, spearpoint leveled at Cody's former captor! * Can we just hurt 'is one, Rhi? * Chrys laughs and twirls his daggers. "Assassin, are ya...?" * Cody pulls out his staff. << -charges ^^; >> Since when do you listen to me anyway * Rachel just waits quietly now, sword level... Um...^^; Can someone cut off my corset...please? ^^; [Nakano] I am Julius right hand. The one that brings death and despair. You have no chance, except for a quick end to your lives. * Rachel turns swiftly without thinking and cuts the corset off! * Niki is also charging towards Nakano. Bonza. Let's get it on. I ain't afraid o' no chick in a dog costume... * Rachel then turns back without a word.. * Cody yelps a bit, but the corset comes off. ^^; * Chrys looks at Rhiana briefly. "I think I might just listen to you after this." >> Bos Combat! «ooc: Naked Cody, baby! » <> « er Boss :) » * Rhiana motions to Nankano, "Bring it on, Imperial dog." «ooc: Cody's in a camosole :) » >> Nightblade Nakano appears! [Keylia] I'll do the ending here if you don't mind, ninja bitch. ;) «ooc: Storen: Which Nakano song? One or 2? :) » >> Nakano's action! « 2 :) » Watch it, she's quicker than a hickup! «ooc: Wee ^^ » <> «ooc: Aww, I was hoping that Rahne and I would get a pre-emptive strike. Oh well. » «ooc: There are Nakano themes? » «ooc: ^^ Yep. » «ooc: .spcs though » [Nakano] Your ignorance is your weakness... «ooc: Oh. Screw that. » * Rachel glowers at Nakano.. Please, you think *I* am ignorant about your afairs, Ninja? * Rahne snarls. * Your overconfidence is yours... I'll show you your ignorance! You shouldn't take me so lightly... >> Nakano begins spinning in place, as 3 dopplegangers form out of thin air! ...Whatever. I'm not going to attack you unless you hurt me or my friends... >> The dance begins.. Gensouhitosashi! <> Flying Sushi? What? «ooc: Hee! » >> Nakano B, C, D appear.. :o Parlor tricks... * Niki stops in her tracks. "Who's who?" This could be bad... * Rachel narrows her eyes.. "Don't be cocky, guys. Let's do this right.." >> Keylia's action! [Keylia] Grr.. hold still! * Rahne remains intent on the one that did the spinning in the first place.. * My spells aren't strong enough to hit them all.. >> Keylia attacks Nakano C! «ooc: This reminds me of that DW4 boss. » But only one of them is the real her... <> >> The wepaon sldies through harmlessly, as the doppler explodes in a fit of light... 23 damage! «ooc: Hee. This is the one time slowness can be a virtue. :) » «ooc: AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME » «ooc: Hey, Roric's charge could be useful here. Can get rid of all the clones right away. » >> Tori's action «ooc: That's what I'm gonna do. » «ooc: S'what I thought :) » [Keylia] Ok, so that's the way you want to play is it. * Tori takes an offensive stance and fires at Nakano A! <> * Rhiana cluches her hands together, "Gonna have to pull out all the stops." * Cody begins to chant softly. * Rachel waves the jagged sword slightly, getting her balance.. * Chrys begins chanting as well... >> Tori attacks Nakano A! His bullet refracts off the doppler, banishing it, landing in his own face! Tori! «ooc: O_O WHAT » «ooc: O_o » * Cody looks up at Tori in alarm. O_o * Tori staggers back, holding his face. >> 41 damage! «ooc: Heh. Cool. » >> Charge at 2/2! That probably didn't tickle... ... «ooc: Maybe we should just try POKING the dopplers. ^_~ » * Tori stands back up and wipes the blood away. The remains two stand emotionlessly. <> « er remaining » «ooc: They do? Let's just leave then. :D » «ooc: O_O LOL » * Tori grins and something dies in his eyes. Wait. >> Rahne's action «ooc: Wait. I think I have something dead in my eye. » <> « ^^; » * Rahne slashes upwards with the blade of her spear, catching Nakano full in the face! Adding insult to injury, after completing the arcing slash, Rahne then smashes the butt of her spear square into her opposition, knocking them off their feet and sending them skidding backwards across the ground!! * «ooc: Nice, but which one? » << B >> <> «ooc: Hugs Tori ^^ » «ooc: BTW, I'm in defensive for the time being. » «ooc: I can! » «ooc: I also RP a loner! » «ooc: I can appreciate that loner-mentalcase thing! » << Sorry.. momentary brain BSoD made me forget I planned to hit B. ^^: >> >> Rahne attacks Nakano B! The form staggers and fades to a bright wisp, blinding Rahne painfully before vanishing. 63 damage! «ooc: So only Nak is left? :) All the dopples are gone? :) » «ooc: To Rahne or to the doppler? » « wrong doppler means lv 1 light attack on you ^^ » «ooc: Haha! It's a doppler too! The real Nakano is hiding behind a tree! » * Rahne staggers back, blinking a bit. * Ugh.. -_- «ooc: I actually need to do that with Shrike sometime...have him create 50 clones then leave, » >> Charge at 1/2! «ooc: Maybe Roric's charge isn't such a good idea anymore. That would mean 3 level 1 light spells casted on him. » Grit your teeth and bear it, Rahne...we'll do this. >> Roric's action * Roric smashes a fist into the ground, and green vines of energy burst up around him, twining into a single beam of energy which suffuses him with light and power. «ooc: AW self » * Rachel grips the hilt of her sword tighter and glares at the remaining foe.. * Rahne glances back to Rachel, and nods as bravely as she can before returning her attention to the battle. * Ahh, good only one again. :D >> Roric casts Aura Wave! his Charge meter is at MAX! 2/2!

Woo! I'm gonna get fried next time she brings up the doubles though. » . o O (I don't think she recoginzes me..) >> Nakano drops back to Defensive and guards! Charge at 1/4! >> Chrys's action * Chrys seathes one of his daggers and pulls the other across his arm, thin line of blood forming. He speaks in an eerie voice... "Salamando, fire of life, may you suck the very life out of thy foe's body in a blaze of purity..." -> [GMStoren] PING * Chrys sweeps his arm, fire pouring out of the wound, surrounding Nanako in a fiery inferno! * Rachel glances at Chrys' wound. «ooc: BW, Nanako, obviously. » >> Chrys summons Salamando and casts Blaze Wall! «ooc: Nakano. ^_~ » * Niki once again stops as Nanako catches on fire. <> «ooc: ...Whatever. I'll change my spelling if you can prove you can spell Alsidaes right next session ;p » «ooc: Oragano! » «ooc: I can. ;_; » >> Nakano evades most of the flames in a fit of impressive agility... 9 damage!

No freedom like in WARPG! :O » «ooc: We're all freakishly fast. » * Niki watches the flames vanish, and once again charges towards Nanako slashing her with the battle axe. >> Niki attacks the real Nakano at last! << One point per level was SD3 accurate. +5 to all at class change though, dunno if that's in this. ^^; >> « Oogh.... lucky. » « it is. » «ooc: ^^ » << Figured. ^^ My evil purist-style mechanics have worn off on you. ^^; >> «ooc: The key word being 'evil'. ^_~ » >> Niki manages to catch the chain mail guard on Nakano's hand, thanks to the Battle Axe!

It's the song! ~ Girl your bootay is so round, I just wanna lay you down..! ~ >> « She's guarding.. half damage.. ^^ » «ooc: Stop chanting and attack already. ;) » * Cody then glances up at Nakano, eyes narrowing. Cold black iron, red hot iron, white hot iron. With iron taste and iron smell, ignite my rage to buring flame! To sear! To burn! To quell! * Cody strikes the ground with the tip of his staff, as the ground heaves. The groundswell lurches forward until is rests beneath the enemy. Suddenly all hell breaks loose in a fiery fountain of magma and fire! Take that! «ooc: Watch it miss. » «ooc: ^^ It better not. » «ooc: Spells can't, I don't think. » * Rachel arches a slim eyebrow but doesn't say anything, waiting.. >> Cody summons Salamando to cast Fire Broquet! «ooc: But it might do like 2 damage. » «ooc: Cody's got more mind than Chrys, though » «ooc: Blaaah » «ooc: I know, but it'd be funny if it missed. » <> «ooc: Fux j00 allz » « Again.. the luck ;) » «ooc: * is glad that he opted his new axe to add luck.* :D » >> Nakano is again buffeted by flames, taking 32 damage!

[Nakano] You'll be the one going to the void. >> Nakano's action! * Rachel growls and braces herself.. Like hell she will! It's YOU who's going down! ... <> >> Nakano gestures, as some strange kanji begin to appear over the air about Rhiana literally crushing the lfie out of her! * Chrys twitches slightly... «ooc: THe Kanji says, "Elastic shinbones." » <> «ooc: Agh!

While in mid air, she grasps her axe with both hands and throws it at Nakano with all of her energy. The axe flies swiftly through the air, embedding itself in Nakano's side. "Die already!" «ooc: ...did you think I'd give up? Did you think I'd just lay down and die? No sir not I! » * Niki lands and runs towards Nakano, and yanks her axe out of her body. "Gimme that.

"Wot th'ell did ya do?" She'd offered no such information, no -- But the orders were from Khy-- * She glances to Cody.. * There's a brief moment of quiet and a wind picks up, lifting the Seed into the air.

[Keylia] So 4 Palaces.. and now WEndel. What an adventure this is becoming. *teeth gritted* What's that...Rhiana? We should probably head back to the elf village for now...you think? * Chrys looks at Rhiana. "Someone like 'Khryos' or something. I think the name came up in the Fire Palace, too..." * Rachel shakes her head a bit.. "...yeah...elf village....Wendel..." ...Hmmm.... Khyros... Let's..just get out of here.... I don't know a lot about him... I think that dumb man is gonna be mad at you for messing up that pink dress. [Keylia] I'm going to ice that sorcerer if we meet him. ^^; He'll live, I think Niki. * Chrys nods. "It'll be okay, Rache..." Khyros, th'necromancer. Fun soundin' bastard. * Rahne turns to Rhiana.. * I'm terribly sorry.. It's not been my intention to always run off during your inquiries... yes, she was under orders from a Khyros... * Roric opens his eyes and stomps off. * Rachel looks about and then looks at Chrys, her eyes watering once more with tears before she forces them away. "Yeah...." Oh, I don't care if he dies. He's stupid anyways. :)} * Rachel follows Roric.. «ooc: :) even. » «ooc: NIKI GREW A BEARD » «ooc: O_o Niki has a beard! » Unfortunately that doesnt' enlighten my any..I don't know a lot about him... Rachel...what's wrong...? * Cody looks behind him to see if Popoi is still there. * Chrys stares at the walls as he follows the party out. [Wyndi] Don't be sad. Wyndi wishes you draw strength from the past... «ooc: IS this to me? ^^: » «ooc: Party, I assume » «ooc: I say Rachel. » [Wyndi] Keep it close and it will save you one day. «ooc: I say my bran muffin » <> Wyndi dissapates. Popoi is still sitting.. if this was stricktly a military operation, it'd be reatively easy to predict... Popoi...? «ooc: I say your taquitos. » «ooc: In my stomach? Ewww. » «ooc: You must draw your strength from the taquitos! » [Popoi] Don't worry about me Cody.. I'll wait a little bit longer. Say hi to the savior for me. :) I...I will. I'll find him or her soon, okay? * Cody waves and follows the others out. [Popoi] You promised! You said you'd fix it! Popoi vanishes slowly.. * Niki follows Cody. * Rhiana walks along, looking more Rhiana like now that she's rested a little. * Tori walks with the others, pulling his cap down to hide his troubled eyes. Keylia shakes her head once, and backs out of the place.. What a prick. <<* the group blinks. "Where'd Roric and Rache go?" * Roric and Rache make out on the steps. Cody: WAAAHHH?!?!>> * Rhiana looks at Roric, "Which prick?" «ooc: Chrys'd be there, too. » * Rachel is silent as she trudges along.. Little short fucker. «ooc: Rahne: YAYYY!! Oh...erm.....WAAAHHHHH!? » Yeah..um...sure. Popoi? No... . o O (So far so good) * Niki looks at Keylia..."What does farker mean?" * Rahne follows the others, remaining quiet like most times. * <> Find the savior....savior... «ooc: ;D » * Cody shakes his head. [Keylia] r... something you shouldn't worry about for a while, kid. ^^ « Er » * Chrys pats Rachel on the shoulder. "Don't worry...whatever happens, all pain subsides after a while..." So...guess we kin 'ead back. . o O ( Suddenly this became a lot more complicated... ) * Chrys starts off ahead of her and Roric. Don't worry Cody, I told you I'd help you do it, didn't I? Umm...okay. Sure. Lets go. :D .... . o O (Liar...) Yeah, thank you Rhiana...everyone...We're close now! .oO(God, that was such a damn lie...) <> *** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 14: Female Turbulence | Loc: Upperland Forest, South | Time: Luna's Day, Daytime | 1002 Luc -=- Get your Cody blackmail material while it's hot! :)' You're welcome, Cody... * Cody smiles. :) .oO(RAGE.) You all pick your way back to the carriage, the driver looking rather alert. * Rachel mumbles something about wanting another hot bath. * Rhiana scratches her chin, "I wish I knew more about that character Nanako IDed...it makes me uneasy..." * Rahne 's tail wags at the sight of Cody's smile. * « hmm.. can we go a bit more? ^^ » <> «ooc: Feel free. » «ooc: I can stay till 10 :) » «ooc: Hell, I'll take a lude with whoever asks me. I'm not gonna have a lude if nobody asks me, though. » «ooc: I'm tired as hell ans should have gone to head 30 minutes ago. » «ooc: ...bed. See? » «ooc: Uh...Chrys. You've luded way too much ^^ Enough ludes. » « Just hold on for one more thing. I have the perfect conclusion. :) » « I'm time advancing if you don't mind. » «ooc: GO CODY! o_O » «ooc: Hey, if nobody asks me, that's fine by me. That means no ludes. » «ooc: Capice? » «ooc: I stop and you stop. :D And yes, capice. No one ask Chrys! ;) » <> «ooc: O_o » «ooc: LOL. » . o O (Why do I feel like everyone's watching me...) «ooc: You'll tarnish Niki's lude free record though! » .oO(Damn, Rhiana's stacked.) * Cody grins a bit, trying to lighten the mood, "Last one in the carriage is a rotten mushboom!" * Cody runs to the carriage! ^^; « lol :D » It's a rather uneventful ride back to Sylvanos' lands, considering all you witnessed, took in. You barely realize it as you arrive at the hall once more, amidst cheers of merryment. * Rahne pursues, a smile breaking out on her face! * <<*snort*>> «ooc: Can Cody at least change? ^^ Poor Cody. » «ooc: A little late, ahen » «ooc: Damn, where's Jeffery when we need him. ;) » «ooc: Rahne even » Apparently, the elves have heard of the events... *** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 14: Female Turbulence | Loc: Realm of Clan Sylvanos | Time: Luna's Day, Daytime | 1002 Luc -=- Get your Cody blackmail material while it's hot! :)' * Roric looks about the same as he did when he left - peeved, but not furious. He follows along in surly silence. * Cody has had time to change back into his normal clothing. :) Yay for nature's changing rooms! «ooc: Cody changed behind a bush? » «ooc: A tree :P » The leader of the forets people greets you, a smile on his once pained and drawn face. At his side stands Elmira. «ooc: You should be lucky that Jeffery didn't throw them away because he thought that they were crappy. » * Cody smiles back, seeming to get caught up in the merriment despite himself. [Sylvanos] Welcome back.. welcome back indeed, heroes. * Roric glares. . o O (I'm no hero...) * Rachel fidgets a little under the attention. ^^; «ooc: Roric: Death eye ray...go! *Glare* » [Sylvanos] Because of you, my suspicions proved true. It was a spy all along that precipitated the hostilities... * Chrys smiles halfheartedly, nothing more on his mind than getting to the nearest pub and getting drunk out of his gourd.\ ^^; It was nothing, my liege. I'm glad we could help. «ooc: * Roric narrows his eyes creepily » «ooc: Hee! » «ooc: LOL. » ..yes...an Imperial Assassin no less... * Niki hears her stomach rumble. "Ahh...I'm hungry." ^^; [Sylvanos] The beastmen have begun to mourn the the soul of their departed master, Fangore, and heal the wounds and divisions cuased by the conflict. I'm glad...I'm glad everything was resolved.... I hope they recover soon. [Sylvanos] By your brave sacrifice Cody, you stopped a war. You have my, and my daughter's eternal debt. * Cody blushes under the praise, "It...it was nothing..." It wasn't just me...but everyone! * Rachel quietly gives Cody a discreet thumbs up. I couldn't have done it without them! In fact...they did more than I...They were...they were great.... ^^; * Cody blushes more. .oO(La la la, my life is turning into a country song. I REALLY need to have a drink.) ..I didn't do anything but piss off the ninja. You deserve the praise. <> «ooc: We didn't get to look sexy while doing it. » «ooc: Hehe. » [Keylia] Aww.. I wasn't THAT good. ;) * Rachel snickers lowly. "Always that good." [Sylvanos] *nods* I shall grant you anything in my power to help you all in your search for Wendel. Did you elarn anything from the spirits? « er learn » * Niki notices Elmira. "...hey, you and her look." O_o * Rachel keeps her gaze rooted on Sylvanos.. Yes...we learned that... * Tori scritches the bridge of his nose and adjusts the bandage wrap. «ooc: *hands Niki "alike"*\ » Elmira hears Niki, and look at Cody a little embarassed. *^^* «ooc: Thank you. » * Cody pretty much tells him everything they learned. ^^; «ooc: BECAUSE NIKI IS TOO LAZY TO TYPE IT ALL OUT » «ooc: No, I was actually gonna type in some more dots, but I forgot. ^^; » * Chrys silently turns around and starts back towards a good pub, or SOMETHING, not wanting to hear the same old historyonics... Sylvanos listens. "I know the place she speaks of. I only wish I knew what had to be dne, but I trust the servants of Mana." We'll head there first thing tomorrow... * Rhiana motions to Rahne, "Come over here a sec, would you." «ooc: Rahne: Yes, M'lady? Rhiana slugs Rahne, "Ahh...better. You can go now." Rahne: O_o » * Rahne obediently complies. * ... [Sylvanos] First thing tomorrow, we shall send you off there... and your mission shall be completed. «ooc: Damn you Cody, I was gonna say something like that! » <<* considers asking Key if she wants a back massage. * ;)>> [Sylvanos] For now, please rest here, and join in the festivities. You certainly earned it. «ooc: Hey, doesn't Cody want to see Rahne too... » * Rahne quietly studders out. * Yes, m'm'lady? «ooc: Double slug! :o » Sylvanos leans back into his chair. Yeah...^^ Thank you for all your help. :) * Rhiana leans up against a wall, "That's what I wanted to talk to you about..stop saying that...." « ack.. one sec.. » I'm just Rhiana...same woman you met back at that bar..this whole m'Lady stuff doesn't do it for me. * Rahne frowns. * But... to do otherwise would be disrespectful.. you-you're practically royalty; and I'm just a girl from some backwater town.. I'm no different from you. « Ok.. crisi averted :) » * Rachel gently prods Keylia in the side. "You up for some partying, parddddner?" «ooc: Did Criz come over? ^_- » «ooc: Rhiana: I just have bigger titties. » «ooc: Niki: I was gonna say that ^_- » « I suggest Rachel and Rahne pay attention to this here ^^ » <> [Keylia] Yeah, sure.. ;) * Cody generally looks happy, a smile on his face. ^^ The princess moves from her side of her father, and walks to Cody, bowing some. ..well except for that tail and ears..but we're both still people..I just because I used to have a different last name doesn't mean I'm some sort of blueblooded goodie two shoes girl. * Rachel brightens a bit at the idea of having fun with Keylia and grins faintly....she blinks suddenly and eyes Elmira. You...you don't need to bow, Princess... *^_^* «ooc: I want you, Cody... you look so much like me that you're so damn sexy... » * Roric chuckles grimly. «ooc: She's given him the tounge :o » [Elmira] Cody.. I know my thanks isn't enough for what you did for me and all of us... «ooc: ... » <> «ooc: ... » «ooc: roric? ^^ » «ooc: LOL, I was thinking the same thing. » «ooc: Roric needs sleep » ^^; It's...nothing...! «ooc: Roric wanted to be the first one to take Cody eh » «ooc: Cody's long lost sister is throwing herself at him? ^_~ » I was glad to help you. * Rahne takes a breath, looking to the event in the middle of the room.. * If it's you're wish, I'll try to stop it, R-Rhiana.. «ooc: YES! It's just like an episode of Utena! ;O » «ooc: Ooh! » * Rahne looks back to her, and tries to smile, before looking back to Cody & Elmira. * . o O ( I just wish it didn't involve crossdressin' is all ^^; ) [Elmira] Your'e so brave.. it's so sad you can't stay, but take this with you if you must leave... Elmira leans over and gently kisses Cody. In that princessly/knight sort of way. ^^ * Rhiana blinks, "You're not really listening to me are you..you're watching..." *looks over to Cody and Elmira * Cody blushes quite a bit. O_o * Rachel raises both eyebrows. ...oh hell. «ooc: In other words...tongue city! » ...aw, crap, now I have to beat her up too? * Rachel crosses her arms. ...I...I...t...t....t...^^;;; * Rahne 's cheeks burn.. * ~~ SESSIION END ~~ «ooc: La la la la FUCK YOU HUSSY la la RAGE. » . o O ( Does NIKI want to kiss me now!? O_o ...Is it my aftershave? ) «ooc: Aww! » * Rhiana grins lightly, "Forget I said anything Rahne..just don't..blow up until after I leave..." ROTFL Cody Session Close: Mon Dec 18 00:41:12 2000
