<Cody> ^_^;
* Cody is ready!
<GMStoren> Enough mdoe fun.. you allr eady?
<GMStoren> er ready.
* Rachel types up a descrip of the gift
* Cody is. :)
<GMStoren> We'll pick it up in the rooms that were recently made available to you since Cody's got gemma priviledges. ^_^
<Cody> Aww yeah
<Cody> «ooc: Loggin! »
<GMStoren> ~~ INTERLUDE BEGIN ~~
<GMStoren> After the shocking revelations earlier, the group split up in a mix of confusion, disgust, or just plain wanting to 
  get away from the disturbing atmosphere. However, Cody did not have such luxury. The farther place he could get away was the 
  special rooms in the Shrine, since him leaving the premises was forbidden until matters settled...
<GMStoren> Fortunately, not everyone had deserted him.. :)
<Cody> «ooc: Damn Wendel cultists! *waves a fist* »
<GMStoren> « you can pick up when you're ready Heather. ^^ »
<Rachel> <<^^;;;; I go towards his room! :o yay me!>>
* Rachel , after much careful thinking and a random encounter out in the streets, finds herself heading for Cody's room, looking 
  faintly troubled and pensive. ^^
<Rachel> <<... stupid ^^ face! You ruined my dramatic effect!>>
<GMStoren> « You can always edit it out Lucca. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ »
* Rachel carries a little piece of fabric draped around something in her hand. ^^
<Rachel> <<"We're going to see the Gemma, the wonderful Gemma of Kippo!">>
<GMStoren> Cody's door isn't hard to find. In fact the hall is patrolled heavily by Gemma knights.
<GMStoren> Though being that fact she has the sword, Rachel is allowed to pass with little hassle.
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. ^^ »
* Rachel is vaguely tempted to wave the sword around for a moment but decides to just nonchalantly shrug it at the guards as she 
  passes, leaning close to Cody's door when she gets there.
* Rachel idly listens for a moment to make sure she's not interrupting anything. ^^;
<GMStoren> Rachel hears what seems like a dull sbbing.. Cody crying..?
* Rachel resists the urge to just run in and take him in her arms to hold him but instead knocks lightly on the door, 
  straightening herself up a bit...
<Cody> (softly) W...Who is it?
<Rachel> It's me. I mean, it's Rachel.
<Cody> ...C..Come in...
* Rachel sweatdrops. . o O (You're so smooth, Rache. Pretty fly for a Mana Knight.)
* Rachel gently opens the door and walks in.. ^^;
* Cody 's sitting on the bed, leaning against a bedpost. His legs are curled up to his chest and his hair is rather deshevled. 
  It's pretty apparent by his red eyes that he's been crying off and on all day.
<Rachel> << mmmm hawt bedpost actionz>>
* Rachel pauses a little and knocks the door closed gently with her foot, closing it in a Gemma knight's face. ;)
* Cody doesn't say anything; he just wipes his eyes.
<Rachel> I'm tempted to ask if you're alright but you'd have to be blind to not know..
<GMStoren> « *egages watching mode* ^_^ »
* Cody sighs and shakes his head, "I'm not great company right now...I...I wanted to see you all but they wouldn't let me 
  *sniff* go...I'm glad you're here..."
<Rachel> I was worried 'bout you.... how're you holding up...?
* Rachel heads over to the bed and sits on it across from Cody..
<Cody> I...I...
* Cody is trembling still, "Okay...I guess...?"
* Rachel frowns and offers Cody a reassuring look. "Hey, it'll be okay...really... I mean, no matter what, you've always got my 
  company to fall back on, you know that, right?"
<Cody> I...I know...but...but I'm going to...
* Cody buries his head into his knees and lets out a pained moan, "Oh goddess, I don't want to die...I don't want to I don't 
  want to do this...
<Cody> I don't want to die and leave you behind...I...
*** Radien is now known as Radchel
* Rachel pauses for a moment, feeling a bit uncomfortable as she's not too used to comforting people....she reaches out to 
  stroke Cody's hair a little. "It'll be alright....I mean....I don't want you to go away either.....and it's not like you're 
  going anytime soon..."
<Cody> It's funny...it's...it's like they told me I have terminal cancer and I'm going to die in three months. It's the same 
  thing Rachel...the same thing...
*** Radchel is now known as Radien
<GMStoren> « *thinks of Lucca's story* ;_; »
<Rachel> ...you wanna know the difference between this and cancer, Cody...?
* Cody looks up at her finally, "Yes...I'd like to know..."I
<Cody> «ooc: -1 »
<Cody> «ooc: er I »
* Rachel looks at Cody intensely for a moment, emotion clear in her eyes.. "I wandered Wendel, trying to find reason for this, 
  trying to find some way to make this easier to accept in my mind..and...well...Cody, you'll be saving the world, practically, 
  you know that?"
<Cody> I know...but...but I'm not strong enough...
<Cody> I'm not like you..
<Rachel> We both know I'm not THAT strong, Cody...but I mean....you are strong too...you're strong because you've got your 
  friends and you've got something inside you that just won't give up...I could see it in your eyes when I first met you.. I see 
  it now..
<Cody> Rachel...How can you say that? It's been hours since I've found out and I'm still shaking like insanity...I still can't 
  stop crying...I still can't stop thinking about who my real parents are...
* Cody stops and blinks a little bit, as if realizing something.
<Rachel> <<"I'M A MAN!" :o>>
<Cody> «ooc: nooo! »
* Rachel raises an eyebrow. "What...? Something wrong?"
<Cody> Rachel...Purim...she...she was a Princess...Right? Was...Was Randi made royalty by marrying her....?
* Rachel blinks a few times, furrowing her brow slightly. "Yeah. That's how it works in the upper levels. What are you...?"
* Cody begins to tremble harder, "I...You...You heard the guy in the bar, right? And Randi...Purim is in Vandole..."
<Rachel> <<... ^^; The bar? >>
<Cody> «ooc: Way back in pandora »
<Rachel> <<lol ;P It's nearing 6 am and you're asking me to remember back then? Weirdo ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: You can do it! :O »
* Rachel gently rubs Cody's shoulder comfortingly. "...you saying what I think you're saying...?"
<Cody> And...they had a son...*gulps and nods* Prince Etienne...Oh god Rachel....you don't think that's...
<Cody> «ooc: Goddess, even :) »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody: I DON'T BELIEVE IT! GRAGHA! What are you SAYING! I've never SEEN SUCH POWER! »
<Rachel> I....I mean...unless you've got a brother... I think...maybe...yeah..
<Cody> Oh no no no....I don't want to be both a Gemma AND royalty too...! I...I just want to ...I want to...I want...but I can't 
  have it...
<Cody> I don't even LIKE the name Etienne! ;_;
<GMStoren> « Blame Lucca! Boo! *snickers* ^^ »
* Cody shakes his head, "But...but...maybe ...maybe he's not me...maybe...maybe..."
<Cody> ...And it doesn't mater becuase I'm a dead man...
* Rachel shakes her head too and reaches out to tap Cody's nose lightly. "No you're not."
* Cody blinks, "I..."
* Rachel tugs the little bundle she brought with her closer, into her lap.
* Cody blinks, and wipes his eyes, "What's that?"
* Rachel smiles a little slyly. "Well... you got me a gift...and...I mean, with everything, I thought maybe I'd get you 
  something too....maybe help cheer you up a little.."
* Cody 's face softens a bit and he manages a weak smile, "Oh Rachel...you didn't have to...but...thank you...
* Rachel gives the gift to Cody, looking a little out of place, the 'warrior' letting down her barricades. "I just want you to 
  know that it's not how long life is that makes it important....it's what you do in your life that makes you remembered to 
  everyone around you...and what makes you a hero in everyone's eyes."
<GMStoren> « Speech. :) »
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! :D »
<Cody> Rachel...
<Rachel> <<I heard that on tv :D>>
<Cody> «ooc: :D Baywatch? »
<Cody> «ooc: Erhm....^^ »
<Rachel> G'on. Open it, stud....I hope you don't think it's too.. I mean....just open it. ^^;
* Cody shakily opens the present.
<Rachel> <<YAY FOR HASTILY COMPILED ALIASES!>>
<Rachel> 2>> It's a thin but strong looking rope like material wristband that fits snugly. It's a little smaller in width than 
  his hand length and the border is a dark forest green color. In the dark 'khaki' colored middle, there is detailed black 
  colored phoenix which stretches around the band in a neverending circle.
<Rachel> 2>> There is a weird aura of peacefulness brought on from just looking at it.
<Cody> Oh wow...Rachel...
* Cody holds it up and admires it, "It's...really...wow...Thank you..."
<Rachel> ..you like it? I was worried that it wasn't your colors or.... erm...but...the lady at the counter said that it's 
  basically symbolic of the ring of neverending life and emotions..
<Cody> No...No I like green and brown a lot. ^^; I love it Rachel...
* Cody slips it on his wrist. ^^
* Rachel smiles shyly, rubbing her neck a little. "Then you're entirely welcome, stud. It looks great on you..."
* Cody still looks very upset...but he's not crying anymore, and his tremors aren't quite as bad, "You're a great friend, 
  Rachel...I...I don't know what I'd do without you. I'm blessed, I think..."
* Rachel winks a bit arrogantly. "Of course you are! I'm a wonderful, wonderful person! Thou shalt kneel in my presence, mortal! 
  Err...sorry.. I get kinda goofy when I'm worried....but...I mean...I'll always be here for you, Cody."
<Rachel> I promise you...
<Cody> I'll be here for you too...
<Cody> . o O ( Which won't be that long. Oh Rachel...I'm sorry... )
* Rachel reaches out to tap Cody's nose again. "I see that look. It ain't so easy to get rid of me, stud. Don't worry...we'll 
  find a way through this...it won't be easy but I'll help you in whatever way I can..."
<Cody> I...I just don't want to be a burden to you...
<Cody> You were just helping me save Kippo and now we're both a part of something...so Earth moving...
<Cody> I feel guilty about it...
<Rachel> Hey.. I don't regret meeting you. I don't regret finding all this out. If I hadn't met you, I would've never felt 
  so....so alive...and...loved. 
* Cody takes her hand and squeezes it, "Yeah...Yeah...I guess that's true..."
<Cody> Then I'm glad we met...
* Rachel winks a little and returns the squeeze, brushing her thumb over Cody's hand. "Good. Cause if you had said otherwise, I 
  would've had to beat you up and leave you hanging naked from the balcony from your feet." ;)
<Cody> O_o
<Cody> You wouldn't have...would you?
<GMStoren> « That sounds so Flara. ^^ »
<Rachel> Nah. I'm just kidding. But I made you wonder, eh? ^_-
<Cody> ...I'm not very attractive...Seeing me naked would be a crime to humanity. ^^; And yes...yes you did...
<Rachel> Hey, you saw me naked! ^^; I'm sure my scarred body wasn't exactly prime beef! And I bet you're just fine looking. ^^ 
  Erm....how did we get into this conversation? ^^;
* Rachel actually blushes faintly and sweatdrops. ^^;
<Cody> ^^; I have no idea...and trust me...You don't want to see me you know what...!
* Cody actually laughs a little bit.
<Cody> But you looked...fine. ^^;
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
* Cody blushes through the tears. ^^;
* Rachel laughs lowly and leans forward suddenly, hugging Cody softly. :)
<GMStoren> You start to hear some murmurs from outside, like several of the guards are talking to someone down the hall.
* Cody hugs back, his chin resting on Rachel's shoulder and his soft blonde hair tickling her face, "I didn't think I could 
  laugh today..."
* Rachel savors it for all it's worth. "Hey, I try my best to help the people I lo-....what's that?"
* Cody looks up, "I...I don't know. It'd been quiet, mostly. Maybe they're ready for that meeting now..."
* Cody 's look of fear slowly begins to return.
* Rachel releases Cody but stays near him, her hand drifting to the hilt of her sword. "Don't worry, stud...it's maybe 
  nothing..."
<Cody> I...I don't know if I'm ready for my life to be decided...
<GMStoren> Nothing threatening comes through the door yet, and the chatting dies down.
<Cody> «ooc: Suddenly, a TENTICLE FACED NUN RUNS IN AND KISSES CODY ON THE NOSE! ^______^ »
<GMStoren> « lol. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Cooties! »
<Rachel> ...you're the master of your life, Cody....sure, some things aren't controllable...like this...but you still decide 
  whether or not you wear your shirt tomorrow or you sweep Rahne off her feet or you buy a new pair of shoes...
* Cody blinks at the Rahne comment, "Uh...Rachel..."
* Rachel sweatdrops. "Mm?"
<Cody> ^^; Ah...er...it's nothing...
<Rachel> Err...I mean...what I meant was...god I'm horrible at this. ^^;
<Cody> It's just...well...
<Cody> It wouldn't be fair to sweep anyone off their feet...only to leave them. It's selfish.
* Rachel raises both eyebrows. "Oh come on. Love is never selfish, Cody. Never. I mean, everyone dies eventually. Some of us 
  have lower life expenctancies, that's all. I fall in that category too, you know."
<Cody> ...You?
* Cody looks hurt, "No...No I want you to live a long, long time..."
* Rachel shakes her head and touches Cody's cheek. "Hey. Some things can't be controlled. Besides, I'm the Mana Knight. I need 
  to protect people, help them, make sure the world is safe. It's not the most safe profession."
<Cody> ...I want you to be safe too...
<Cody> You deserve that...
* Rachel arches an eyebrow a little. "Cody....I've accepted my lot in life already...but I'll keep fighting for what needs to be 
  fought for....and whatever I do in life makes it all the more richer."
<Cody> Rachel...You...You...You're already shaping up to be a great Mana Knight...I can tell...in your eyes...I..
<Cody> «ooc: Cody so wants to kiss her it's nuts. :p »
<Rachel> <<LOL O_o uhm? Jeez, he should get death sentences already!>>
<Rachel> <<Kiss her! Storen! Then kick her out! ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. Well, remember, he likes Rachel AND Rahne. He had a near kissy moment with Rahne too :p »
<GMStoren> « That works. ;) »
* Rachel smiles slyly. "Thanks. It's the company I keep."
<Rachel> <<But Rahne has already kissed Cody! ;) Damn you!>>
* Cody leans over and gently kisses her on her forehead, "No...It's your company that I cherish. Thank you, Lady Rachel."
<Cody> «ooc: O...ji...boooooo. »
* Rachel blinks and blushes a shade of red that is rather pretty. It's also really rare for her. "Ah...I...uhm...err.."
<GMStoren> You hear the door creak open slightly.
* Cody blinks and looks up, the fear creeping back into his face once more, "Who is it?"
* Rachel tenses and loses all relaxation from her face, reaching for her sword as she stands in front of Cody.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Ah, I didn't know you had a visitor Cody. I can come back at another time, if you wish.
* Rachel blinks and drops her hand. "Erm.."
* Cody hops down from the bed, facing Belgutetii, "I...I...No...It's all right. Is something the matter?"
* Rachel has a distinct look of distrust on her face as she eyes the man...she clearly doesn't like the weird vibes she feels 
  from him.
<GMStoren> Belguteii doesn't enter the room, but remains outside respectfully. He's carrying some kind of tray with a couple 
  glasses on it.
* Cody looks at the glasses curiously.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Well, I thought we could discuss the plans for greeting the council, Cody... and something to ease your 
  tension.
* Rachel furrows her brow at the 'something to ease your tension'...
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I've always had a fondness for herbal tea, wouldn't you agree?
<Cody> Oh...I see. Well...I guess that's okay. I am really nervous about this whole thing... *he peers closer* Herbal tea? ^^; 
  You read my mind. I love the stuff. ^^;
* Cody notes that doesn't sound very proper.
<Cody> I...I'm sorry at my rather ...um...unproper language, sir.
* Rachel looks between Cody and Belguteii, trying to decide what to do...she forces herself to relax a bit. "I guess this is a 
  private thing, eh? S'okay... I have to go find Rahne next and talk to her...you gonna be alright, Cody?"
<GMStoren> Belguteii flashes a small grin. "It's alright. Here we can be casual, Cody."
<Cody> Yes...I'll be okay....I'll see you later, Rachel? 
* Rachel nods and casts Cody another reassuring look. "Count on it. Try to relax. I'll be around if you need me. Promise."
<Cody> Okay...I'll remember that. I know I can count on you. :)
<Cody> And thank you...for everything.
<GMStoren> Seeing no definite no and Rachel's immenent departure, the Sage of Wendel enters Cody's room, placing the tray on a 
  small table.
* Rachel winks and waves a little to Cody, grinning meekly. "No problem. At all. Hang tough, stud."
* Rachel heads past Belguteii and the coldness towards him is obvious as she brushes past him to head out the door and down the 
  hall. ^^
* Cody waves back, his wristband looking rather handsome on him, "I will. Goodbye, Rachel. :)"
<Cody> «ooc: Should Rachel stay or go...hmm... »
<Cody> «ooc: Storen! Make the call as I pee! BRB :) »
<GMStoren> « she left. :P »
<Cody> «ooc: I mean in Chan :P »
<Cody> «ooc: BRB :D »
<GMStoren> « Oo »
<Cody> «ooc: Okay :D »
* Cody turns back towards Belguteii...
<GMStoren> Belguteii finds a seat at the sitting table, beckoning Cody to join him.
* Cody does so, sitting in one of the chairs, pulling his shawl tighter around him, "Thanks..."
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] It's not many a person that I share a cup with. As a fellow herbalist, I feel we are contemporaries of a 
  sort... though our situations might differ...
<Cody> You're a herbalist too, sir?
<Cody> Wow...I didn't know that. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Why yes. It's because of such knowledge that you were asked to come here for your cure for Kippo.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] We have many books on herbs that most others would never dream of... and the curse upon your town is an 
  evil one indeed.. it requires a strong de-toxin for the water supply...
<Cody> Have you figured out the ingredients yet...?
<GMStoren> Belguteii takes a cup, sipping it lightly.
* Cody picks up his tea cup, blows a bit of the rising steam off, and takes a good sip.
<Cody> . o O ( Hmm...This tastes sort of exotic. Flowers from another continent, maybe? Wendel sure has sights and objects I've 
  never seen before...) )
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Yes, do not worry. The main obstacle is merely the time it takes to gather the rarer components. I do 
  wonder who placed such a curse, but I have my suspicions..
<Cody> We believe it's the Empire.
<Cody> My...friends and I, I mean.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Your'e not alone. I'm sure now you understand why they would do such a thing? If the Empire discovered 
  you first before us, it would mean that this world's fate would be in Julius's hands.. a scary thought..
<Cody> Y...Yeah...I haven't even thought of the Empire's role in this...
* Cody takes another sip of his tea.
<Cody> . o O ( It's sort of cold in here...There's a fire going though...Odd... )
<Rachel> <<I knew it! I knew it! I had such a feeling about this guy! I think it was cause his name is hard to spell :o>>
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I'm not sure if you are aware, but in the anicent past existed the Mana Empire of Vandole. The country we 
  know today is it's descendant.. and they seek to recapture it's legacy.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] It is a misguided effort at best, seeing as how Rthe Fortress is no more...
<Cody> Why though? Why can't they just be content with what they have? Mana should be shared by everyone...
* Cody takes another sip of his tea.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Yes, that selfishness caused their downfall over two centuries ago. History has a strange habit of 
  repeating, does it not?
<Cody> . o O ( It's -really- cold in here... )
<Cody> Hmm? Oh yeah...I...I just worry that...But this isn't really such a repeat of history. Mister Belguteii sir...do you know 
  why I'm a Gemma...but I'm a boy? All the gemmas have been girls except for me.
<GMStoren> Belguteii takes another drink, looking you over a little too intently.
* Cody takes another sip of his tea, the cup now more than half empty
<Cody> Sir...? 
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Yes, such has been the case since time immemorial.... and hence why we need to convene on this. Many fear 
  if you ascend, it may cause a disturbance..
<Cody> Then...how will...?
<Cody> . o O ( Ooh...My head feels full... )
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] But it may be because you also are unique.. with a special destiny unlike the other gemmas.
* Cody takes another sip of his tea, and begins to put it down, when he notices that his hand is twitching very oddly. He stops 
  and stares.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] ...Is the tea to your liking?
<Cody> . o O ( That...that isn't normal.... )
<Rachel> << Grr! I so gonna kill Belgooti!>>
* Cody tries to stand up, when he suddenly sways forward too much, knocking his cup off the table. He manages to right himself, 
  but now his entire body is twitching very oddly, "M..Mr. Belguteii...what...what was in that tea...?"
<Cody> «ooc: Turn on the scary music, Storen! :) »
<Rachel> <<* Storen turns on Love Shack. "Uh, whoops!">>
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Oh, it's a very special recipe. The boiled leaves of the mystical Hyrdad. Very exotic... only the best 
  for you of course...
* Cody wideyes when he realizes just what it is, and stumbles back, his vision blurring, "W...Why?!"
<GMStoren> Belguteii calmly sips the remainder of his tea, his face darkening slightly.
<Cody> Mr Belguteii....I don't un...under...stand...!
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Haha... you really don't do you. Of your destiny...
* Cody manages to keep himself standing, but it's becoming increasingly difficult, his body twitching even more.
<Cody> No!...I...Why this...!?
<Rachel> <<Call for Rachel! Call for her! She's just down the hall, having lesbian innuendo with Rahne!>>
* Cody tries to call for Rachel, but his voice begins to freeze up.
<GMStoren> The sage stands up, his white and blue robe trailing.
<Cody> . o O ( No...No...! This isn't...I can't...No! )
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Ah, but the destiny you have as a gemma is a farce. You have a greater purpose to the world. To... me.
* Cody falls to his knees, his breathing becoming labored. He manages to force out the words, "Who...are...you?"
<GMStoren> Belguteii steps over to Cody, looking down at him. "I am Khyros, little god-boy... concern yourself not with it... 
  but with your rest."
<Cody> . o O ( I'm so cold...Think, Cody, THINK. They've got to find you, or you're dead...But It's so hard to think... )
<Cody> K...Khyros...?
* Cody falls to the floor, but manages to reach into his pocket with twitching fingers, pulling out his pocket watch, which he 
  flings under the bed.
<Cody> Y...You....you won't...get away....with....
<Rachel> <<Oh yes, we're sure to look under the bed O_o>>
<Cody> «ooc: Hey, you will, bitch ;) »
<Rachel> <<O_o ooh, kinky talk. :o>>
<GMStoren> [Belguteii/Khyros] Ah, but I already have...
* Cody shudders once, his eyes closing and his body going limp....
<Cody> . o O ( Rachel....He... )
<Rachel> << .....likes...pink....underwear...!>>
<GMStoren> As soon as Cody passes out completely, Khyros lifts him up, looking his over with semi-glowing eyes.
<Cody> «ooc: Suddenly they short out. yay! »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii/Khyros] My Lord will indeed be pleased... sleep Cody. Sleep the dreamless sleep of oblivion.
* Cody 's hand falls into view, his wrist band highly constrasting his skin, which paling in a very eerie fashion.
<Cody> «ooc: which is, even :) »
<GMStoren> The sage's eyes turn to the wristband.
<Rachel> <<Aw, c'mon, that cost me 18 luc!>>
<GMStoren> [Belguteii/Khyros] How ironic indeed... the symbol of the Phoenix.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii/Khyros] ...but your rebirth shall not be of the worlds, but that of the Dark Master Thanatos. An empire of 
  Chaos built upon the ashes of this fleeting world.
<GMStoren> With a quick motion the wristband glows and tears off, flinging itself into the fireplace... where it catches ablaze.
<Rachel> <<auh! Slut! You owe me 18 luc!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Cody: I'd pay, but I'm drugged. »
<Rachel> <<Screw Cody! MY WRISTBAND!!! ;_;>>
<GMStoren> [Belguteii/Khyros] Now, it is time to prepare the way... rest well Cody. Your date with Destiny approaches... and 
  your friends cannot save you from that which is inevitable. Haha...
<GMStoren> ~~ INTERLUDE END ~~
<Rachel> AUH!
<Cody> Tee hee! :D
<Rachel> MY WRISTBAND!
<Rachel> SLUTS! :o
