<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: *vroom?* >>
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: *crash* >>
<GMStoren> The sun rises slowly over the peaks of the Mandalan mountains, as morning comes to the Holy City. Some early brids are already up and around, but many are resting after the harrowing events in the recent day...
<GMStoren> You've all recieved word the Order of Light is making good the preperations to send Cody and the rest of you to the Palaces.. obviously you ahev won them over. However, you all may have other travel plans in order...
<GMStoren> « You all gathering somewhere to sneak out or shall i intro it? ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: You can start it if you like. »
<Cody> «ooc: YOu can do what you want, Stor ^^ »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Hey, is anyone logging already? >>
<Niki> «ooc: My RPG chan's autolog. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: kay >>
<GMStoren> Everyone has more or less gathered by a small tavern near the anicent wall in the Southeast corner of town, at Roric's behest. Rachela dn Cody were absent, but soon you make out two strangely derssed individuals making their way over.
<Roric> «ooc: *puts on the Fargasta theme* Rockin'! »
<GMStoren> « er dressed. »
<Niki> «ooc: Rachela! »
<GMStoren> « ^^; »
<Niki> «ooc: Ricola! »
*** Cody is now known as A_Strangely_Dressed_Man
* Roric is wearing a ratty cloak and is dirtier than usual, but he still has a straw hat on, this time tilted to obscure his face as much as possible.
* Rachel swaggers along beside Cody, wearing the jeans Cody provided her with along with the black turtleneck. The shirt clings to her body and she keeps tugging a bit on the sides in annoyance, mumbling about how tight it is.
* Rachel is also wearing sunglasses and has wetted her hair, tying it back into an adorably messy looking bun while leaving her bangs hanging in her eyes. She looks very different, very sexy! ^^
<A_Strangely_Dressed_Man> «ooc: ^^ Nevermind. »
*** A_Strangely_Dressed_Man is now known as Cody
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Mwahahahah... >>
<Rachel> <<Sorry, Cody ;) I'm out of it. ^^>>
<Roric> «ooc: Hehehe. »
<GMStoren> keylia is leanign against the wall, stretching her back in a few morning exercises. She regards the two with a puzzled expression, then starts chuckling to herself.
* Chrys leans against the wall, regarding the two figures with a certain coldness. His normally unruly purple hair is slicked back, and he seems to be clad in a cloak similar to Tori's, as well as a pair of mirrored sunglasses..
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel is tryin' to impress the beaus, I see. ^_~ »
* Cody is also dressed exactly like Rachel. He's wearing dark black jeans, a black turtleneck, and black glasses. His hair is completely tucked into a beret.
* Niki is sitting on the ground in her usual attire...doing nothing.
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel is Monique from Sinfest!] »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Cody and Rachel have found out about the Matrix »
* Rachel also smells faintly like alcohol. ;)
<Chrys> «ooc: Roric LOL »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. ^^ »
<Rachel> <<LOL O_o>>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<Niki> «ooc: <Cody> I know Kung-Fu. »
* Roric takes a drink from a paper bag clutched in his fist.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Those.. are your disguises? What are you.. beatniks or something? ^^
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Hey Cody, all you need is a bug in your belly and you're they guy from the Matrox >>
* Chrys chuckles.
<Rachel> Ah! Us, beatniks? No, man, we're just too groovy kids!
<Cody> «ooc: NO TALK ABoUT THAT >_< »
* Rhiana is eating, naturally.
<Rachel> <<TWO!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Eeww bug in bellyyyy »
<Rachel> << :o >>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
<Cody> Groovvvyyyy... 
<Chrys> ...You look like you came out of the nearest coffee house, you two.
* Rachel twirls a little, her bangs flying a bit. ^^ "Thanks, man!"
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
* Rhiana gulps down some juice, "New look for you kids, isn't it?"
<Cody> It's just so we can get out of Wendel... ^^; 
* Rachel tugs her shades down a bit and nods. ^^
<Chrys> Sure it is, Cod'...I know about your 'alternative lifestyle' with Rachel now... ^_- No need to hide it...
* Tori quietly sneezes and wipes at his nose, a slight cold coming on for some reason...
<Rhiana> Rachel's outfit will draw more attention than hide herself.
* Niki isn't dressed up at all. Besides...the axee she has is a surefire give away of who she is.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I kinda like it... nothing like a makeover to get you feeling hip. ;)
* Roric slams back some "juice". "You cats look sharp. Keep it down though, eh?"
<Niki> «ooc: axe even. »
* Roric glances at Tori. "Problem, mate?"
* Cody blinks under his shades and looks at Chrys, "...Not like you're not getting into this new lifestyle of catching girls on street corners..."
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Pervert A and B appear! >>
* Rahne quietly waits, slightly removed from the others.. she busies herselt tieing her satchel back onto her spear.. *
<GMStoren> « ^^; »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
* Cody coughs.
<Tori> Yeah..I tink I have a Code. 
* Tori sneezes again/.
* Chrys narrows his eyes, not like you can tell behind the glasses. "It beats trying to go after anyone I know..."
<Roric> ...'at'd be a shame.
* Rachel pushes her shades up. "Easy, you two. Let's just hurry this up, hmm? This hairdo hurts." ;)
<GMStoren> Keylia ties her hair back quickly, and pulls her cape up around her armor. "Not like they'll care if I leave this place.. you all ready?"
* Cody glances at Chrys with a slight annoyance but doesn't say anything. He turns back to Tori, "When we get back to Kippo, I'll mix up some herbs to help you with that cold, Tori."
<Roric> First thin's first, eh? We're gonna do this in staggered groups.
* Chrys mutters beneath his breath. "I was talking about you, idiot..."
* Tori nods gratefully and stiffles yet another sneeze.
<Cody> (w) I know you were.
* Rachel nods a bit to Roric, trusting his knowledge. ^^
<GMStoren> You ntoice the side entrance enarby, guarded by a pair of sentries. The walls nearby look like they are still being repaired. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: Er nuke that. ^^ I thought he said it out loud :p »
* Chrys blinks and looks at Cody. "Not you..."
<Chrys> «ooc: :P Nuke that too, then. Augh. »
<Rachel> <<He was talking about me!>>
* Rahne finishes her tie job, and stands, hefting her spear and satchel over her shoulder.. *
<Chrys> «ooc: Yes. :o »
<Cody> «ooc: HE WAS TALKING ABOUT YOUR BUTT ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Aren't you all?>>
<Niki> «ooc: Your fucked up if you want Niki thinking about your butt. »
<Roric> Can't travel in a big clot wit'out attractin' attention. Rachel, Cody'n me are gonna go first. Rest o' you blokes follow be'ind in two groups. Rahne, Rhiana, Keylia, you're second. Niki, Chrys, Tori, yer last.
* Rachel crosses her arms and stands tall, tapping her foot a bit. "Sure thing, Ror'."
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: nuke what? >>
<Chrys> Yeah, Ror, I guess it would make sense if me and Tori'd leave in the same group...provided we don't kill each other, we could pass off as..partners, perhaps.
<Roric> Keep wit'in eyesight, but not too close.
<GMStoren> The guardsmen begin exchangign some words from what you can see, one fo them walking off, right past you, into the tower nearby.
* Niki sulks a little. "Why am I in the last group...and why am I stuck with the stupid hair man."
* Tori wipes at a runny nose and ignores chrys.
* Cody looks slightly nervous, tapping his foot.
* Roric grins. "S'my thinkin'. Okay, the tin soldiers are gone. Let's do this fast. FOllow my lead, you two. Rest o' you come on my signal."
<GMStoren> Fortunately, you aren't spotted as suspicious yet. They are likely getting the first shift setup. ^^
* Rachel nods and gives the rest of the group a small thumbs up. ^^
* Cody nods, "Lead the way, Roric..."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Sounds good.
* Rahne solemnly nods.. *
<Rachel> Groovy, man. Let's go.
<Rachel> <<Ow ^^; Hair knot :o>>
* Roric puts an arm around Cody's shoulder and begins chatting with a grin as he walks towards the wall.
<Chrys> «ooc: THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR PUTTING IT IN A BUN »
<Chrys> «ooc: @_ »
<Roric> (w) So, ya got my loot I see.
<Roric> «ooc: Buns are good. »
<Cody> (w) Ah well, you know how it is...
* Rachel trails a bit behind the two, looking nonchalant, her hands in her pockets..!
<Roric> (w) *chuckles* Ya get a chance to enjoy the good stuff?
<GMStoren> Group 1 begins the approach to the south gate... one Gemma Knigth is standing watch, awaiting the return of his friend.
<Cody> (w) Ahh yeah...You bet your sweet luvin' ass I did...
<Cody> . o O ( ...This feel SO wrong... )
<Rachel> <<Tell him we drank the wine and ate the sandwiches and Rachel kept porn mag! ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: He's trying to be a ho! ;_; A male ho! »
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] Excuse me. Are you three leaving the city?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
<Roric> «ooc: So, going over this one more time...we're going through the wall where it's being repaired, right? »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: hey Lucca, nuke what up there?I dunno ^_^ >>
<Cody> «ooc: Yes. I think so. »
<GMStoren> « Yes.. it's the weakest part.. the south gate ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Uh...when I overheard Chrys's words :p »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: okay >>
* Roric looks surprised to be stopped. "Eh? Nah, we're just chatting. Why?"
* Cody snaps his fingers a bit, but doesn't speak unless he's spoken to. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] I need to record your destination, sirs. Proceedure.
<Roric> Roric: Ah. Good man. Sorry t'bother you, anyhow.
* Rachel stops behind the two and grins amiably, resting her hand on Cody's back, as if she's his groupie. ;)
* Roric walks on by, turning a corner and stopping just out of sight.
<GMStoren> the brown ahired knight looks you oevr, assumign you are just eccentric travellers.
<Rachel> <<Verrrry eccentric :o>>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: oh yes ^_^ >>
* Cody looks at Rachel, "Eh...well. Me and my girl here are just goin' to Mantango, you know? Big festival goin' on...Ain't that right, Chickadee?"
<GMStoren> « Oh brother ^^ »
<Rachel> Aaah yeah, man! Mantango is the absoloute trip!
* Rachel leans a bit into Cody, grinning wider.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o >>
* Cody has dropped his voice quite a bit.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: *wonders what Rahne's thinkin'* ^_^ >>
<Rachel> . o O (You're enjoying this way too much, girl....aw, damn, who cares? I'm wearing a fucking costume!)
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] You do know the Upperland is dangerous at this time. You should head to the Cannon Travel center just south of here, to avoid any safety hazards.
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne: ...Please die, Miss Rachel *Her tail stops wagging and she hugs it* »
* Roric waits for the others to follow him. ^^
<Niki> «ooc: Niki is gonna screw everything up...I just know it. »
<Roric> «ooc: That's why I put her last. :P »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Okay Rahne, and Rhiana.. let's do this. ;)
<Cody> Ah, geez! Thanks man. You're a real pal, yanno?
<Niki> «ooc: Roric. I know. ^^; »
<Cody> Lesse go, Sugabeat.
<Rachel> Yeah! Let's go, pookiekins!
<Chrys> «ooc: SUGABEAT AGH »
<GMStoren> The gemma knight sweatdrops.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: She's prolly gonna blurt out that Cody's the Gemma and Rachel's the Mana Knight ^_^ >>
<Roric> So anyway! As I was sayin'...those Mandango chicks may be mushrooms, but DAMN...*walks out of sight with the others*
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: rofl! >>
<GMStoren> « ^^; »
<GMStoren> « I love you guys »
* Cody puts an arm around Rachel's shoulders and strolls off with her casually, snapping his fingers. ^^
<Chrys> «ooc: A note... it's Matango ^_^ »
* Rachel heads onwards with Cody, flicking her bangs ^^
<GMStoren> Rachel and Cody exit the city proper, finding the road near the rievrside waterfall.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Man, Roric's gonna flirt with a Mandango chick and get a face full of sleeping powder ^_^ >>
* Cody tries not to laugh... ^^;
<GMStoren> Keylia starts heading to the gate, swaggering casually. ^^
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Come on you two.
<Rachel> <<Swagger, baby, work those hips! aww yea!>>
* Niki sits on the ground still complaining about how she's in the last group.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Make that guard aroused! >>
<Roric> «ooc: Right. I wad thinking fandango. »
<GMStoren> « Rahne and Rhiana here ;) »
<Rahne> << I am here, yep. >>
<GMStoren> « you're with Key. strart acting ;) »
* Rhiana shrugs, "We're the group that isn't in the clique."
* Chrys looks at Niki, then at Tori.
* Chrys sighs.
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Aww.. whatcha talking about? We're gonna have a BLAST! Girls day out... see the sights, YEAH!
* Rahne lowers her head, folding back her ears.. * Clique, Mi-- Rhiana?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o >>
<Rachel> <<....Keylia is all about the bling bling!>>
<GMStoren> The gemma knight sees another group coming hsi way, wondering if there's a party going on today he doesn't know about.
<Rhiana> ...nothing, forget I said anything.
<Rahne> Sorry, Miss Keylia..  I can't say I'm really in the mood for sight-seeing..
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] You three. State your destinations, please. Rules, you know.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Aww come on Ears, you got to loosen up...
<Rhiana> Kind of oppressive, aren't you?
<Rachel> <<Ears, lol. ^^ Rahne = Flara? :o>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] We're heading where the wind takes us, handsome. ^_-
<Roric> «ooc: incidentally, we're getting as well-hidden as possible in case one of the other groups screws it up. ^_~ »
<Cody> «ooc: Keylia: We're going to Tiawana Mexico! »
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] ^^; Could you be a little more specific? It's dangerous outside without the barrier...
* Rahne shifts on her feet uncomfortably, and tries to keep her ears down more.. *
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Keylia: We're going to Disneyland! >>
<Rhiana> We'll be fine, Sir.  I have extensive military training.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Well.. I figure we'll go where it's Hot.. because if it ain't the climate, it's the sexy Kakkara guys.. ooh yeah.. ;)
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] Are you all together then?
* Rahne nods. *
<Rhiana> Yes.
<Rhiana> Looks like we're out to..sew Keyla's wild oats..
<Rachel> <<*chokes!!!*>>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_O >>
<GMStoren> « o_o »
<GMStoren> « Oh my :o »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
* Rahne , fortunately, seems kinda oblivious.. *
<GMStoren> Keylia hugs Rhiana and Rahne. "See... now you're getting it! You got the style, but you need to work on your delivery... I'll show you all about it when we get there.. hee.hee.."
<Roric> «ooc: We three should just ditch the rest of you now. ^_~ »
* Rhiana shifts her eyes over to Keyla
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] Yes, well, the Cannon travel is down the road. You should go attend to.. things...
<GMStoren> The knight blushes under his helmet.
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
* Chrys sighs and looks at the two again, speaking in a stage whisper. "Looks like our turn is next, guys... now...Niki...?"
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] wait.. one moment.
* Rhiana pulls Keyla along, "I'm sure we will. And I'm sure my friend will be praying for crop failure, if you know what I mean."
* Rahne tries to keep her tail hidden from the knight.. *
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_O >>
* Rhiana raises an eyebrow, "Yes?"
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] ...is that you Lady rahne?
<Rachel> <<augh ^^>>
<Cody> «ooc: Gawd ^^ »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Dangit Storen ^_^ >>
<Rhiana> Who's Lady Rahne?
<GMStoren> « don't worry too much ;) »
* Rahne looks up slowly.. * Uhm...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: It's gonna be fun editing my own comments >>
<Rachel> <<<Keylia> But on the inside....aren't we ALL Lady Rahne?>>
<Cody> «ooc: No! I'm...I'm...LADY LENNTH VALKYRIE! Oh oh ho! It shall be engraved upon your soul and crap! »
<Chrys> «ooc: *chokes* »
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ... >>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Aww.. don't mind her.. she's just giving us girls the guided tour, stud. ;)
<Cody> «ooc: ...I killed you all! Yay! »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<Chrys> Um...Niki? ^^;
<Niki> What?
<Rahne> I'm terribly sorry, Sir Knight..  I'm still on an errand for Mistress Luka..  and having completed my task here, I was going to attend to bother matters..
<Rhiana> ...
<Niki> I'm busy thinking how I'm gonna chop up the stinky man for putting me in the last group.
<Rahne> I sought to hire these two.. mercenaries as escorts.  But..  they.. well...
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] Well, the sendoff is starting soon.. and Lord Regan wished to speak with you before then..
<Rahne> These two were the only ones really available...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o....Uh, Niki..Was that ooc? >>
<Niki> «ooc: Nope. ;) »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Aww, what are we, chopped liver? ;_;
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: or action? >>
<Rachel> <<LOL, no, that's how she always is. ;)>>
<Rhiana> You'll get used to it, Keylia.
<Chrys> Okay. It's important that you keep quiet when we do this. Because if we're found out, you won't get to chop up the stinky man. You'll be stuck in a dark prison cell for trying to sneak girly boy out. Do ya understand that? ^^;;
<Rahne> I will be back before then, Sir Knight..  but I am still duty bound to Mistress Luka.  Please understand. ^^;
<Tori> *W* Any ideas on how we're going to get through this?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Beat the guard up!Yeah! >>
<Cody> «ooc: BRB. Dew ^^ »
* Rhiana grumbles, "Roric needs to learn how to set up groups better, the idiot."
* Chrys looks up at Tori. "Only one of us does the talking...I think I have an idea. ^^;"
<GMStoren> Keylai tugs on Rahne tail, dragging her out of the city. "Hey, put the moves on your knight in shining armor later, girlfriend..." ;)
<Niki> Why can't we just chop up the guy over there?  *points to the guard.*
<Chrys> Because that will get us in MORE trouble, Niki... and more dark. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] Well, don't miss it. But as a Sage understudy, you are free to go.
* Chrys stands up, speaking quietly. "Looks like it's our turn.."
* Rahne nods as she lets out a short yelp as she's pulled by her tail backwards.. * ;_;
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<Niki> Fine, but if he trys anything I'll kick his butt.
<Rachel> << Keylia: This is for messin' with my girl Rachel! :o BIOOOCH!>>
* Chrys nods. "Fair enough. But try not to kick his butt too quickly, okay?"
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] .o( What is going on today? I hope my replacement gets here so I can see the festivites...)
* Chrys starts off, slowly, whispering. "Niki, stay behind us.
* Tori wipes at his nose and heads towards the guard house.
<GMStoren> Keylia lets go of Rahne's tail once they are clear. ;)
* Niki mumbles to herself..."...stupid last group and the very last person. Everyone sucks..."
<Roric> «ooc: Wow, Niki is sounding like an Ashton character. ^_~ »
<Rachel> <<Wow, we're so good...we've infected Niki with our angsty broodiness!>>
* Rhiana moans, "The idea to sneaking out is to not mkae a scene, folks."
* Niki picks up her axe and follows the others.
* Rahne flicks it about until it feels more comfortable again.. * That kinda hurt, Miss Keylia.. how would you like it if someone tried to rip your arm off? :/
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<Rachel> <<*snickers* ^^ Too easy.>>
* Chrys and Tori and Niki walk up to the guardhouse.
<GMStoren> The final batch approaches the exit... and of course, the guard sees you all, repeating hsi orders like a record. ^^
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] Another group.. where are you heading sirs?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: broken record! >>
<GMStoren> « er broken. ^^ »
* Chrys nods. "We're escorting this young girl out... She wishes to go back to Pandora."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Sorry Rahne... but you almost got dragged back to the Shrine. ;)
<Cody> «ooc: Snickers at Roric's line of Niki becoming an Ashton character ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Wow, Storen, the NYG suck ;)>>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: NYG? >>
<Cody> «ooc: No, the Raven's are just a superteam O-o »
<Cody> «ooc: They KILLED the Radiers. »
<Rachel> <<Still....24 - 7... ^^>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: The Giants Murdered the Vikings 41-0 »
* Niki holds the axe in to hands while looking down, trying to hide her face.
<Niki> «ooc: to = two. »
* Roric waves the second group over from his hiding place behind a rocky outcropping a short distance from the gate. " (q) Hey, over here. Keeping a low profile in case Group Three blows it. You got through OK?"
<Rahne> I don't think so, Miss Keylia..  Forgiving my bluntless, my fabrication was probably more solid than "we're just wandering the countryside being lude"..
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] Pandora, eh? You're pretty far from there...
<Rhiana> I'm sure we can handle it.
<Rahne> << lewd, rather. ^^; >>
<Rahne> << Argh.. ^^; >>
<Cody> «ooc: Ludes...we do plenty of those! »
* Cody keeps quiet, waiting.
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] But it looks like you have two good bodyguards. You should be careful when you elave the city.
* Rachel winks at Keylia and motions for them to head over.
<GMStoren> Keyla gets the hint, and nods to Roric.
<Chrys> Yes, the girl tells us she got caught up in something she didn't want to and got dragged all the way into Wendel... We've been here quite some time, ourselves. As I said before, we're merely her escorts.
<Roric> «ooc: We're just wandering the countryside having ludes...the Chrys and Rachel story. ^_~ »
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] The best way back is the Cannon travel to the south of here on the road... lots of monsters these days.
* Niki mumbles something under her breath, but it doesn't really sound sincere...more like quietly gritting her teeth while talking. "I...want my...mommy."
<Chrys> Cannon Travel...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Ooh...You getto beat up mucho monsters ^_^ >>
<Rhiana> «ooc: Wow, Niki is like an Ashton character :o »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o >>
<Rachel> <<LOL Niki O_o That was cool :o>>
<Cody> . o O ( What's taking so long...hurry you guys...I don't want some stupid parade held in my honor to make me out as some sort of symbol...-_-;;; )
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
<GMStoren> He points to the road, opening the gate for you.
<GMStoren> « heh ^^; »
* Chrys nods. "I'll keep that in mind, sir. Thank you."
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
* Rachel has her shades hanging jauntily from the corner of her mouth. ^^
* Tori sneezes loudly and messily, nearly hitting the guard with projectile snot.
* Tori sniffles "Sorry 'bout that."
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: rofl! >>
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
* Chrys walks through, hoping the rest of the group follows him.
* Tori wipes at his nose.
<Cody> «ooc: Heh! »
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel is being a fashion model. »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh, good, Tori actually has a cold. I was worried. »
<Rachel> <<Nah, she just likes to chew on things :o>>
<Roric> «ooc: Sexy. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Tori sneezes loudly and messily, hitting the guard with a ball of snot >>
<GMStoren> The guard blinks, wiping his helmet. "Eeeh... yes...."
<Cody> «ooc: 9999 damage! Dispatched! »
* Tori ushers Niki through teh gate and follows after Chrys.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<Roric> «ooc: it's a good thing that nuclear accident gave me a penis of rawhide leather! »
<Niki> «ooc: Tori's snot is stronger then Wasabi! :o »
<Roric> «ooc: And WOW, that quote would be weird out of context. »
<Cody> «ooc: Tries not to spit out her dinner ^^; »
* Niki walks towards the gate.
* Rachel exhales a bit as she notices the last group. ^^
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
* Cody nods, letting out a sigh of relief.
<Roric> (q) 'Ey, they made it. Wasn't sure if they'd get the rugrat through.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: rugrat? >>
<Rachel> <<Niki ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Niki. She's 12 ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Niki. She's 12 :p »
<Rachel> <<Not Chrys. ;)>>

<GMStoren> Another guard arrived to join the lone one.
<Roric> Okay, daddy-o, we are splitsville.
* Niki walks away from Wendel then turns around. "HA, you all suck! I got through!"
<Rhiana> ...who set up the bass ackwards groups anyway...a bloody idiot coulda done better.
<Rachel> <<O_O>>
* Niki does a stupid looking funky dance.
<Rachel> ....

<Cody> (w) Shh! Niki!
* Rachel groans and buries her forehead in her hand.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o >>
<Cody> Let's go! C'mon!
<GMStoren> Keylia put her arms around everyone.
<Rachel> O_o
* Rachel gets squished against Keylia
* Cody grabs Rachel and Rahne's hands and drags them on! ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Time to blow this pop stand, guys. ^_-
<Chrys> «ooc: Wow, Keylia is Mister Fantastic »
<Rachel> Sure thing! Woah! 
* Roric chuckles. "Let's do this sometime without the others, eh hon?"
<GMStoren> « br a sec.. »
* Rahne is dragged along..! * ^^;
<Cody> By the way Roric...We had some of the wine...you can have your prono mag back though...it's not quite me. ^^; *Blush*
* Chrys sighs and takes off the shades. "God, I'm glad to be over with that."
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_O;;;;; >>
<Cody> «ooc: He gave him a porno mag. ^^ »
* Niki turns around only to get embraced by Keylia and smushed into Rahne.
<Roric> Aww, mebbe ye'll grow inta it.
<Cody> Although it DID have a few haikus in the back, oddly enough...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: rofl! >>
<Roric> Nobody reads the back.
* Rachel tugs her hand free from Cody's and chuckles, slowing a little to tug the bun from her hair....she groans a bit in relief. ^^
<Rhiana> Let's go.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Roric writes on the back ^_^ >>
* Rahne stumbles over Niki, but being light on her feet, manages to right herself with little trouble.. *
<Chrys> Niki...sorry about that. Feel free to chop me into little pieces when we get to the next town, okay? ^^;
* Rachel shakes her head, the hair returning to its normal state. ^^
<Roric> Any'ow...that was easy 'nough. Now we'll just 'afta 'ope the cannon ain't guarded.
* Cody turns back to Chrys, "No random dislplays of violence in my hometown! O_o"
<GMStoren> You all spy the road elading east from where you are, lakes and the Silktail River source to your south.
* Roric pouts as Rachel ruins her hair. "Aww. Was cute."
<Rachel> Thanks. ;) 
<GMStoren> The water gleams in the rising sun. :)
* Chrys looks at Cody. "We're going to Kippo?"
* Cody remains in his beatnik clothes, just in case.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
* Cody nods, "I got the cure."
<Chrys> Aah.
* Rachel walks along with the others, leaving her clothes on, obviously, until she can change back into her armor. ^^
<GMStoren> Sure enough, in Cody's hands is a small vial with a blue substance that looks like water, but much more opaque.
<Chrys> You know this journey isn't going to end there. Not for four of us, at least...
<Roric> We don't wanna spend much time there, 'fraid. Just do our good deed an' vanish. More mysterious 'at way though, eh?
<Rachel> <<* Rachel starts stripping ;)>>
<Rhiana> ...I wish the Empire would show up.
* Tori sneezes.
* Roric glances back at Chrys. "Which four?"
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You wish?
<Cody> ...I can say goodbye to my parents...right?
<Rhiana> Yes...I want to get my  business overwith.
* Rachel looks at Tori. "You alright to travel, Tori?"
<Chrys> Keylia, Rachel, and Cody, mainly. I may tag along...but after Kippo, I have my own plans.
<Tori> I think so..all the walkinga round on the cold streets in bare feet from..um.."before"..kind of got to me, I think.
<Niki> I get to go too.  I promised.  I never break a promise.  Well except that one time to my mom when I did....*starts to ramble about that one time*
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You do realize one way or the other they are going to find out we snuck out... migth as well use ths time to do what we set out to do int he fris place. ;)
<Roric> I count three. Anyway, cryin' shame ta see ya go. 
<GMStoren> « er first »
<Roric> «ooc: Niki is cuter now somehow. Heh. »
* Rahne looks ashamed, and wrings her hurting tail. * I'm terribly sorry, Master Tori..
* Cody glances back at Chrys and Rhiana but says nothing, thoughtful.
* Roric nods at Key. "Right. S'why we can't 'ang 'round Kippo too long. They'll be 'round there right quick once they find out what we're up ta."
<Rachel> Erk...if you need some help, just ask, hmm Tori? ^^ I might have something for you.
<Cody> . o O ( I guess Roric really was right. They are out for themselves. )
* Chrys looks at Roric. "I may not. I need to train anyways. If I don't make myself better, then I don't have a chance."
* Rhiana is busy talking to herself
<Tori> Don't be, Rahne. It wasn't your fault I ended up..um.. ^^;
<Tori> Cold.
<Roric> A chance of what?
<Chrys> Survival.
* Rachel nudges Cody. "Hey. Can I hear one of those haiku thingies?"
<Rhiana> So we're going to Kippo?
<Rachel> << ;) >>
* Tori nods his thanks at Rachel.
<Chrys> «ooc: LOL »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Chrys has got a point. I may know just the way, too. And Rahne can get us in good...
<Cody> ^^ Heh. Which ones? The dirty ones or the cleaner ones? ^_-
<Rachel> Pfft. Whatever you feel like ;)
<Cody> No! You've got to tell me! 
<Rahne> Hopefully in Kippo, Co--  Master Cody can fix you up a remedy, Master Tori..
<Chrys> «ooc: Fuzzy vagina \ I would like to pet you more \ Oh Baby Baby »
* Rachel rubs her chin and grins fiendishly. "Dirty."
<Roric> Eh. I think we're okay for survival. Ain't died yet, anyhow.
* Cody pulls out a small book, and blushes, "How did I know you'd say that...here's the best one."
<Roric> «ooc: If it's very fuzzy, you might want to make sure it's not on a dead person. »
<Rhiana> ....I hate to raise my voice....but I can only take so much of being ignored until I'm fed up.
<Niki> «ooc: Fuzzy Vagina...a haiku about Ellena? »
<Rachel> <<LOL...this is gonna be great. ;)>>
<Cody> Ahem. It says:
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol.... >>
<Cody> Oo me so juicy
<Cody> Like a succulent spring plum.
<Cody> Pluck me. Pluck me now.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: rofl! >>
* Roric grins amicably at Rhi. "Whassat, dear?"
* Cody quickly closes the book. ^^;;;
* Rachel sweatdrops and snickers loudly. ^^
<Rhiana> Don't call me "Dear" Lush.
<Rhiana> I asked if we were going to Kippo.
* Rachel ahems. "Yes, we are."
<Rhiana> Okay.
<GMStoren> Keylia's eyes bug out. "Oo.. I never knew Cody has that side to him in writing.."
<Cody> I didn't write that!
<Rahne> ...get us in where good, Miss Keylia?
<Rachel> We could only wish. ;)
<Cody> I swear to you all I didn't write that! ^^;;
<Niki> «ooc: <Keylia> My pants. »
* Rachel nudges Cody gently and grins. ^^
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I know, I'm just playing with your head, cutie. ;)
* Cody chuckles a little.
* Roric shrugs. "Wotever ya say, babycakes."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Rahne, I emant before about visiting Sage Joch. You are his pupil, aren't you? ;)
* Rachel then runs her hand through her hair, noting the length...
<Chrys> Joch? Why are...
* Rahne nods. * Yes, Miss Keylia.
* Chrys blinks
<Roric> Sage Joch? Aren't there any other 'ot chick sages?
* Rachel blinks and looks at Keylia a bit, wondering what's going down.
<Cody> There's only three, Roric...
<GMStoren> [Keylia] He's supposed to test people who are worthy of unlocking their true powers.. or some garbage like that.
* Rhiana sweatdrops, "This trip gets worse every day."
<Roric> Damn.
<Cody> Unlocking...my power?
<Roric> Test? Screw that, we're in a 'urry 'ere.
<Niki> Ooh, you mean I can kick more butt after that.  Lets go see him now. :D
<Cody> But if we're going to fight against the Empire...maybe...
<Rachel> ...that could be useful.
* Chrys sighs. "She means AFTER we get Cody's hometown back. BEFORE we fight the Empire."
<Rahne> Garbage, Miss Keylia?  I don't think it's as hokey as you might think it..
<Rachel> ....Chrys..? Can I talk to you..?
<Rahne> ..though I've never seen anyone complete it successfully..
<Chrys> ...Why would you want to?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hold on, Kippo first, kiddo. besides. rahne might want to catch up with him.. I hear he's feeling really under the whether recently..
<Rhiana> Well, I'd give you insight on what will probably happen next with the Imperial military, but you all would ignore it anyway.
<Roric> Still...we need ta seal those seeds quick as possible if we're gonna.
<Roric> Can't be bludgin'.
<Rhiana> So I'll let you walk into it.
* Rachel slows a bit to walk beside Chrys.. "Because I wanna apologize for saying what I said..."
<Chrys> .......
* Roric pats Rhiana on the shoulder. "We all lova ya, hon."
<Niki> Okay.  I was hungry anyways.  Lets have breakfast. ^^
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Don't worry Ror, the Dark Palace is right next door!
* Cody walks beside Rahne now that Rachel has stepped back a bit.
<Rachel> <<Chrys: Fuck you still! Rachel: Why you hurt. ;_;>>
<Cody> (w) Are you okay?
<Chrys> Rachel...
<Roric> Well, okay. but we don't wanna make it too easy for Khyros.
<GMStoren> You start to come to a fork in the roadway. Paths lead off to the north and farther eastwards. There's also a sign.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: nooooooooo....Walk with Rachel! ^_^ >>
* Rachel looks at Chrys.. "....yeah..?"
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<Rhiana> Roric, don't touch me.  And if you insist on talking ot me, it will be with my name.  Not Dear..Babycakes..Hun...or anything.  
<Cody> «ooc: She's talking to Chrys! ;) What can I do? »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: eavesdrop! >>
<Rhiana> Just my name.
<Chrys> Eh... ^^
<Chrys> I..guess...I'm...kinda sorry, too. ^^;
* Roric shrugs. "Okay, I won't talk to ya."
* Niki looks up at the sign since no one else will.
* Roric reads the sign.
<Roric> «ooc: Sorry, I'm slow. :P »
<Rachel> Hey, it's okay, Chrys... I was just thrown off by your...favor.. ^^; But we're cool, right?
<Rahne> I dunno..  I suppose.  I once heard someone say "as well as can be expected".  I think I'm that..
<Rachel> <<I can't read the sign! I'm busy loving Chrys like he needs to be loved! :O>>
<Chrys> I...guess..kinda...
<Cody> «ooc: Love me first! »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol...I remember that favor..."Kill me!" >>
* Rahne smiles a brave smile, but her tail doesn't wag.. *
<Rahne> Oh..
<Roric> «ooc: I never read the ludes. I prolly should someday. »
* Cody holds Rahne's hand for a moment, "Remember you can still talk to me, okay?'
<GMStoren> Niki reads it. "Cannon Travel Center just ahead.. improved locations! Book a trip today!" An arrow points north.
* Rachel touches Chrys's arm and slips something into his hand quietly.
<Roric> «ooc: Did Cody and Rahne break up? »
* Chrys blinks and opens his hand.
<Rhiana> «ooc: I don't read the ludes. I don't read things my character isn't present for, since she shouldn't know what goes on there anyway »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: I sure hope so ^_^ >>
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah. But she thinks she's totally alone and Cody hates her and he doesn't. :p »
<Chrys> «ooc: Yes, and it appears Cody and Rachel got back together. ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: Same here, but the ludes are half the game in SoM, so you miss a lot if you're not Chrys, Rachel or Coduy.^_~ »
* Cody lets go of Rahne's hand, but he smiles gently at her.
<Roric> I'm gonna scout ahead, you folks. Lie doggo.
<Rachel> <<Lie doggo? O_o>>
* Roric zips up the path to scope out the Cannon Travel Center.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Cody+Rachel=ANGST!AAAAAAANGGGGST! >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Roric, did Quistis or Selphie have a lot of storytime? ;) »
* Niki reads whats off to the east.
<Rahne> You've got so much other stuff to worry about though..  I don't want to bother you..
<Roric> «ooc: What are you talking about, Ash? »
<Cody> You'll never bother me. Never.
* Rachel bounces a bit on her heels.. ^^
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rahne: I'm pregnant. Cody: I take that back. »
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Heh. »
<Roric> «ooc: What's up agead? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Quistis and Selphie weren't important in the storyline, but that didn't make them any less cool, did it? »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
* Rahne pulls out Cody's journal from her satchel. * This was entrusted to me to return to you.. I hope you haven't worried too much about it.
<Chrys> ...ehm...
<Roric> «ooc: Well, it made them SOEMWHAT less cool. ^_~ »
* Chrys is at a loss for words ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne: Eeek. ^^ He actually got it back. But... »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: She read it! >>
<GMStoren> Roric goes ahead to find a very familiar piece of machinery in a clearing. It's manned by a short, pudgy fellow with wild spiky brown hair. ^^ You also notice a few traces of smoke from what can be asusemd is a previous "flight" that left several moments before.
<Chrys> «ooc: Ror: Erh.. »
<Rachel> I never got to give you this... ^^ 
* Roric returns. "We're clear. No guards."
* Cody nods, "Thanks. ^^ I had two journals but this is my more current one ^^ Thanks Rahne."
<Rahne> << He did?  O_o  I thought Rachel had given to to me to give to you. ^^; >>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: LOl, I thought there was gonna be a fight >>
<Chrys> Bu..wh..eh..?!
<Cody> «ooc: Storen said I had it...but whatever. :D I covered. We go! »
<Rachel> <<Yeah ;)>>
<Roric> 'opefully this fuzzy guy won't send us flyin' to the goddamn desert.
<GMStoren> [Cannon Travel Guy] Hello hello!
<Roric> 'Ey, pal. We're 'eaded ta sunny Kippo.
* Rachel smiles wryly and then blinks at the CTG ^^
* Rahne smiles weakly, but her tail doesn't move.. *
* Chrys looks at Rachel, a bit nervous. "Cannon. Let's go." ^^;;
<Cody> Sunny...Kippo? O_o
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: [Cannon Travel Guy] WAZZZUP!*bounce* >>
* Rhiana folds her arms, doesn't appear to be in the best of moods.
* Tori coughs and eyes the cannon nervously.
<GMStoren> [Cannon Travel Guy] Heading to Kippo are you? It's a bit out of the way... but that's no problem!
* Chrys chuckles, looking at Cody. "Of course. Sunny when it's not raining..."
<GMStoren> [Cannon Travel Guy] That'll be 75 Luc up front. ^_-
<Cody> It's not exactly sunny lately...
* Roric slaps some silver on him.
<Rhiana> Kinda smokey around here.  Did you just shoot a customer somewhere far away?
* Cody holds the vial closer to his chest in a protective vice grip, "I'll change that..."
<GMStoren> The fellow bounces and takes the money inspecting it with a toothy grin. You can tell his dental hygene isn't up to snuff. ;)
<Roric> «ooc: It'd rule if the vial broke when we landed. »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody would kill himself :p »

<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: *vial breaks* Cody:We gotta go back....dangit >>
* Rachel hops up by Keylia. "Time to fly again..!"
<GMStoren> [Cannon Travel Guy] No, I'm the real deal! Who's been giving me and my brothers a bad name?

* Chrys chuckles and looks at the two. "Get a room, mmkay?
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
<GMStoren> [Cannon Travel Guy] Anyhow, thanks for flying with us.. just slide into the cannon! ^_^
* Tori continues eyeing the canon and looks as if he's going to be sick.
<Cody> «ooc: Henta :D »
* Rachel sticks her tongue playfully out at Chrys. ^^
* Tori eeps and disappears behind a tree.
<Chrys> «ooc: O_O THAT WAS TO RACHE AND KEY, NOT CODY AND HIS VIAL: »

* Rachel pauses. ^^;
* Tori appears a few moments later, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: that was kinda obscene, Cody ^_^ >>
<Niki> The cannon stinks?!  I'm not going into some stinky thing.
* Rachel heads to Tori's side and blinks at him. "You alright? Need a hand?"
* Niki plugs her nose.

* Rachel waggles her finger at him. ^^

* Tori seems a little out of sorts and just nods at her.
<GMStoren> [Cannon Travel Guy] And that stink in the gunpowder.. surely this isn't your first flight? It's prove safe, I assure you, little girl. ^^
* Cody nods to Rahne and hops into the cannon!
* Rahne drops down after him, a little more slowly and warily.. *
* Rhiana leans up against the cannon, "We leaving sometime today? Or perhaps you want to know his favoriate color?"
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Oh sure.. I wonder what those little guys got..
<Niki> No, but the last time you kicked the cannon and made me go plop in the sand!

* Rhiana awaits for everyone to get into the cannong before sliding in herself.
<Niki> «ooc: Something about that sounds wrong. »
<GMStoren> [Cannon Travel Guy] Well, I won't do anything... and I'll have my brother who did that found out...
* Rachel wriggles a bit inside the cannon. "This is such a rush..."
* Rahne closes her eyes and curls her tail around to hug it, bracing for launch.. *
<GMStoren> « Niki inside? »
<Niki> Okay, but if I plop in the sand again I get to come back here and kick your butt.  Alright?
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> [Cannon Travel Guy] Um.. yes. Customer satisfaction always comes first.. ^^;;;
<Cody> Um...

<Niki> «ooc: And miles to go before you sleep? »
<GMStoren> There are what appears to be Pandoran guards in the streets, and a few people gathered by the well, talking. Most others are either inside, or at the... large clump of garvestoens you notice closeby...
<Rhiana> I plan on it, with or without your permission.

<Cody> Thank you..

* Rahne nods, and sets about the task of distributing the cure to the best of her ability.. *
<Cody> «ooc: Where did you ping out, Stor? »

<GMStoren> « did you see my post too aboutt eh people? »
<Niki> «ooc: I'll do it. »
<Rachel> <<No.. :o>>
<GMStoren> In a moment, there's a ringing sound resounding through the streets. Soon, a few ragegd looking people stumble out of their homes... their skin is pale and almost corpse like. A efw are holding young children in their arms.
<Roric> «ooc: Brains. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: suddenly, they all die >>
<Cody> «ooc: Pink Eye :D »
<Rachel> <<Chris.. ;) Morbid. :o >>

<Cody> «ooc: Chrys: Oh, but I don't want to! I have my monthlies! ;_; »
* Chrys assists Cody! ^_^
<Chrys> «ooc: so FACK YOU MANA »
<Chrys> «ooc: er, MAN »
<Cody> «ooc: Hah! »
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
* Roric sighs, cracks his knuckles, and goes to aid the townspeople.
<GMStoren> Cody pours the vial into the water and he notices it's mucky look replaced by a crystal clear shine.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: heh >>
* Rhiana would help, but she's gone off somewheres
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. That's how Roric feels. FACK YOU MANA »
* Rachel looks about.. ^^;
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Suddenly, the water turns murky again ;_; >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Rhiana gains 5 bitch points! :D »
<GMStoren> From the well, Undine suddenly appears!
<Cody> Gah---! O_o...Undine?
<Niki> «ooc: <Undine> WASSUP! :O »
<Rahne> Oh!  Mistress Undine!
* Cody almost drops the bucket... ^^;
<Chrys> Hey, Undine! ^_^ WAZZUP! O_o
<Chrys> «ooc: NIKI, you BITCH »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL! »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_O >>
<GMStoren> [Undine] That's what it took! Now I can finally finish getting rid of the contaiminant! something powerful was blocking me..
* Rachel blinks and eyes Undine.. :o
<Cody> ...Was it chaos?
<GMStoren> Undine nods.
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rachel> You, me, bed, NOW. »
<Roric> Dammit.
<Rachel> <<Grahgrahgrah water demon sexor grahgrahgrah>>
<Roric> Really not feelin' like dealin' with a Chaos Magician.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o;;;; >>
<GMStoren> [Give] it a moment, and the whole well will eb pure.. have everyone drink immediately.
<GMStoren> [Undine] Give it a moment, and the whole well will eb pure.. have everyone drink immediately.
* Cody nods, "Thank you, Undine."
<Chrys> Gonna have to anyways, Ror... I think that's Khryos they're talking 'bout..
<Niki> Are we gonna be sick from this town too?
<GMStoren> [Undine] Great work, again! I guess Luka was right about you after all. :)
<GMStoren> Undine disappears back into the well.
* Cody blinks and blushes, "Um..."
<GMStoren> Cody sees his father and mother in the crowd.
* Roric nods grumpily at Chrys. "Yep. The prick."
* Cody wideyes, "Mom! Dad! O_o
<Niki> «ooc: Have them kick Cody's ass for taking the sword. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o >>
* Roric tries to keep out of Cody's way.
<Cody> «ooc: Heh! ^^ Doesn't know if he should run after them or not. »
* Cody puts the bucket down and rushes to them.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Cody flattens Roric! >>
* Chrys looks at Roric. "You gonna stay with him? Help him...well, save his ass?"
<GMStoren> As Cody rushes over, Mayor Day starts trying to meter out water to townsmen and women.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: meter out? >>
* Niki picks up the bucket that Cody left behind and tries to imitate what he was doing.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: harrum >>
<Chrys> «ooc: ration »
<Cody> «ooc: dammit! start survivor start! ;_; »
* Rahne looks up, and watches Cody meet his parents.. she smiles again, and her tail swishes about.. *
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: I know, but it's like, there's not a shortage ^_^ >>
* Roric shrugs. "Someone's gotta."
* Rachel stays next to her partner, watching Cody run...she mentions idly. "Key, when we're done with all this, you wanna help me get rid of this shag hairdo? I gotta shorten it again but can't reach the back..."
<GMStoren> Cody rushes over to his father, who looks evry worse for wear. On his shoudler is his aging mother, looking at Cody with glassy eeys, yet somehow she knows it's you.. ^^
<Chrys> You know...You guys are gonna seal the Mana seeds again, right?
<Roric> That's the plan.
<Rachel> <<Oojiiboo, Cody :o>>
<GMStoren> [Mother] Cody.. my little Cody...
* Cody hugs them both gently, "It's okay...you'll be fine in a moment...I got the cure..."
* Rahne 's smile fades, and she turns back to the task of hauling water out of the well.. *
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: [Mother] WHY DID YOU TAKE THE SWORD? YOU'RE GROUNDED! >>
<GMStoren> [Father] So you did come through... I'm rpoud of you son... but *cough*..
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
<Cody> But...?
<Chrys> I might as well come with you... I need to go to the Moon Palace anyways, and I've got nowhere to go after that...You think the rest of the group will mind?
<GMStoren> [Father] I'm afraid Mark and Brad didn't make it...
<Rachel> <<Oh well. ;)>>
* Cody looks down, "Oh..."
<Chrys> «ooc: <Cody> Oh well! They were assholes! »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Rofl, because Cody killed em >>
<Roric> «ooc: Cody killed people? O_o »
<Cody> «ooc: Actually Cody killed one, Rachel killed another. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Why? @_@ »
<Rachel> <<^^; Yeah. I'm the bomb :D>>
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah. They tried to kill him ^^: »
<Roric> We can use anyone willin' ta 'elp who's not gonna sell us out.
<Roric> «ooc: Oh. Why? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Because they had Pink Eye and tried to kill him »
<Cody> It's okay...we'll talk when you're cured...
* Rahne taps Cody gently on the shoulder.. * ...Cody?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: he used, um....What's it called... >>
<Roric> Why ya 'eadin t'the Moon Palace?
* Cody turns back to Rahne, "Yes?"
<Cody> «ooc: Potensa Detonation ^^ »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: yeah >>
* Rahne holds out a bucket brimming with the antidotal water. * Here.. they might need this..
<GMStoren> [Father] Don't feel sad... there's a lot you need to know, judging by the look in your eyes..
<Chrys> ...For a cure, I guess you could say. Stability, maybe.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: I have the incantation for that quoted, too ^_^ >>
* Cody smiles, "Thanks Rahne..."
<Roric> ...ah. I think I get it.
<GMStoren> Cody father gets a spoon of water and starts helping his wife, who drinks it. She, and other start to get some more color in their cheeks.
* Cody turns to his parents, "We'll talk once you drink this...You won't get better until you do."
* Roric nods slightly.
<Rachel> .....well...we're done...wow. ^^; 
* Rahne nods, smiling a bit.. her tail even manages to wag a bit, too; as she goes back to further assist.. *
* Chrys glances at Rachel. "Done...?"
<GMStoren> Cody's old man capitulated to his son, and has some himself...
* Rachel looks at Chrys with a wry smile. "I mean, with what we started out to do originally..."
<Cody> «ooc: Yay Survivor! ^^ I watch after SOM is over ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: ...Is sue in there? O_o »
* Rhiana returns to the town square
<Chrys> Yeah, but at the same time, we've been dragged into something much more...well, potentially fatal.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Look at that.. it works! In a while, everyone'll be alright!
<Roric> I'll make it out okay. I don't intend ta die anytime soon.
<Rachel> True...but who cares right now, Chrys? This is is good...we've done something...
<Rachel> << - is >>
<Roric> I jus' worry 'bout the others...
<Chrys> ...Well, yeah... And it's good to see Cody actually happy about something.
<GMStoren> A few of the recoeverd townspeople gather around Cody, looking down.
* Rhiana is silent though, appears to looking around for something.
<Rachel> <<Elisabeth is my favorite already>>
<GMStoren> [Man] Cody, I'm sorry we treid to doubt you before.. it just.. we were confused.
* Chrys sighs. "Most of us will be fine. Others...Well..."
* Cody looks to the man and shakes his head, "It's all right. It's in the past now."
<GMStoren> [Woman] We yelled at you,a nd here you're the hero that saved us, not a monster or a curse, but a savior..
* Rachel takes a soft breath. "....go, Cody.."
<GMStoren> [Father] That's my boy..
<Chrys> «ooc: Wow! Cody is JESUS :O »
<Cody> «ooc: ROTFLOL. »
* Roric snickers softly to himself.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: /ooc rofl! >>
<Cody> I'm not a savior....I just did what had to be done...
* Cody is smiling widely though. ^^
<GMStoren> [Mother] Cody.. my vision's clearing up.. I can see you smiling...
<Cody> «ooc: This is like it's a Wonderful life! »
<Cody> Mom...
<Niki> «ooc: We should put that dress back on Cody just as his mom's vision clears up completely. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Cody> «ooc: Mother: My vision is...gaaaahhhh! :O *dies* »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: dangit, Cody, you beat me to it ^_^ >>
<GMStoren> [Father] Coem back to the stroe with your friends and we can sort things out..
<GMStoren> « er come »
* Cody nods, and looks to Mayor Day, "Come find me if you need any help with the cure...but I won't be able to stay too long..."

<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Use the force, Storen! >>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Sleep is not the way of the Jedi! >>
<GMStoren> A few hours pass, as the town makes what can only be described as a mriaculous recovery!
<Cody> «ooc: Happy event music plays! »
<Roric> «ooc: do doo dooo doooo! »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Suddenly, the soldiers slaughter all the people >>
<Niki> «ooc: And here I have "Return of the Evil Mist" playing »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<GMStoren> After everyone has been administered the cure, the more able bodied men and women of the town gather at the meeting hall with you all.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: oh dang, I thought the townspeople said:To hell with you all^_^ >>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I wonder if this means a cash bonus Rache.. just kidding. ;)
<Niki> «ooc: No, they only think that. »
<Roric> «ooc: Return of evil mist? »
* Rachel snickers and grins at Keylia. "Hey, we could all use some more money, eh?"
<Niki> «ooc: Roric: FF9 disc 4 overworld. »
* Roric keeps his distance, aloof.
* Rhiana is in the back, as usual.
<GMStoren> [Mayor] People of Kippo, we have to thank Cody for his effrots in getting the cure and not letting us suffer... but at the same time we are also to balme for being allowed to let our emotions cloud the name of one fo the most upstanding families here
* Chrys sighs, lost in thought again.
<Cody> «ooc: Hold on a sec ^^ Doing a description type up! :O »
* Niki speaks up over the Mayor's voice. "I helped too!!"
<Roric> «ooc: Marlene. »
<GMStoren> [Mayor] Yes, and of course to Cody's friends... without which we'd perhaps had taken more loss to our fine town...
<GMStoren> The mayor looks around. "Where is Cody?"
<Niki> Thats better. ^_^
* Rhiana listens to the mayor's words
<Niki> «ooc: Cody had to take a dump. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Cody's in the inn having hawt sekz with Rachel >>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
<Chrys> «ooc: * Chrys bastes »
* Rachel is just quiet, next to Keylia where they began in the first spot, feeling an odd sense of return.
<GMStoren> At that moment, Cody's mom and dad enter the building...
* Cody walks behind his parents, out of his beatnik garb...although his look has changed a bit. His hair is now cropped short, and although he wears his usual shirt, it's no longer tucked in. He wears his shawl but it's cut and looks more like a mantle. He also wears blue jeans, travellers boots, and a small backpack hung over his shoulder, "Sorry I'm late."
<Cody> «ooc: http://rpgcafe.net/Pictures/SOMRPG/Cody.jpg ^^ »
* Roric raises an eyebrow.
<GMStoren> [Mayor] And here is our hero now. I wanted to apologize to you on bhealf of everyone...
* Rachel doesn't react too much to the new look because she had seen it the other night but grins anyways, nodding to Cody.
<Roric> «ooc: Hey. speaking of Locke, you're awful quiet. ^_~ »
* Chrys whistles. "Wow, Cody...you look...male!"
<GMStoren> Keylia raises an eyebrow.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: rofl! >>
* Rahne smiles a bit.. her tail wagging slighly.. *
* Cody gives Chrys a look, but turns to the mayor, "I'm no hero...I just did what I felt was right."
* Tori sneezes, violently coughs and generally looks miserable.
* Niki looks at Chrys. "We should change that. Lets shove that dress on him again."
* Chrys chuckles.
* Chrys holds out a Candy for Tori. "Lozenge?"
<GMStoren> [Mayor] Well, either way, you saved us all.. but I understand your journey's not over.
<Roric> «ooc: Is Locke secretly watching TV, or is he just under the weather? ^_^ »
<Rachel> . o O (...he's so hot. God. Stop that, Rachel. Bad bad bad Mana Knight.)
* Tori looks at chrys with bleary eyes and gratefully accepts the candy.
* Cody shakes his head, "No it's not...I don't know if you've heard the rumors..."
<Roric> . o O (...he's so hot. God. Stop that, Roric. Bad bad bad Gemma Knight.)
<Roric> «ooc: NUKE THAT »
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
<Niki> «ooc: ROTFL »
* Rhiana leans up against the back wall, watching everything intently.
<Rachel> <<Keep it in! ;)>>
<Roric> «ooc: No. :P »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: rofl! >>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: I remember "Obligratory Yaoi Sesion" >>
<GMStoren> [Mayor] What kind of rumors? About the Empire poisoning the town?
<Chrys> Um, yes.
* Cody shakes his head, "No...No Mayor. Unless you've heard why they poisoned it in the first place."
<Rachel> <<Keylia: Mmm. He cut his hair. I'd do him.>>
<GMStoren> [Father] I guess you've figured out by now Cody... I can see it in the way you hold yourself.
<Cody> Yes...Yes I know...
<Chrys> «ooc: * Cody grabs his crotch! "Who's bad!" »
<Cody> «ooc: I bad! »
<Cody> «ooc: And I have to pee really bad! BRB »
<Chrys> «ooc: Cody Jackson heheh »
<GMStoren> [Mother] We're sorry we didn't tell you.. but.. it was Purim's wish we bring you up and protect you... as a favor to our dear son..
<Roric> «ooc: Father: You don't waltz around like a fag anymore! I'm so proud! *wipes away a tear* »
<Roric> «ooc: WHenever I do the crotch grab I murt myself. »
<Roric> «ooc: hurt. ...not murt. »
<GMStoren> [Father] Don't cry now. Dyluck's at peace.. *comforts his wife*
<Chrys> «ooc: Why do you think MJ went "ow" whenever he did it?" »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o >>
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. »
* Rachel touches the sword sheathed on her side..
<Niki> «ooc: * gets flashbacks of MJ opening his jacket so children can jump in his pants* >_< »
* Rhiana rubs her stomach.
<GMStoren> [Father] Cody, I don't know exactly what your destiny is, but I geuss the night everything happened, and your mercenary friend took randi's sword.. we should have known..
<Rachel> <<lol ^^>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: Do I make you RANDI?! :D »
<GMStoren> [Mother] I just didn't want my little baby to leave again.. run off to fight something dangerous..
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<GMStoren> [Mayor] So you have been harboring the son of princess Pandora all these years?!
<Cody> Mom...
<GMStoren> some murumurs go up from the assembled.
* Cody blinks, "Princess...So I was right?"
<GMStoren> [Father] Well, She came here one night, all burnt and cut up.. carrying you and the Mana sword...
<Chrys> (q)...Mayor, shut up. Royalty means nothing when blood is thicker.
<Cody> «ooc: That was some good peeing. OH look! Tent making on survior! »
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o »
<Cody> «ooc: THAT woke you up ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: OKAY »
* Rahne looks uncomfortable.. *
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: urhumm >>
* Rachel nods quietly..\
<Cody> Why...why was she burnt and cut up, Father?
<Chrys> «ooc: <Father> Because she decided to eat a Big Mac. »
<Cody> «ooc: Dad. He calls him dad. Blaghghgha. :P DAD even »
<GMStoren> [Mother] We don't know what happened to her after she left... but she was running from the Empire...
<Cody> So they may have known about me all this time?
<Chrys> .oO("A dim light brightens...")
<Cody> Then why did they wait so long?
<GMStoren> [Father] You've grown a lot since then. But I know they've been snooping around looking for that child... lots of kids have been disappearing..
<Rachel> ....
* Cody 's face falls when he considers this...
<Cody> . o O ( So much suffering...because I exist... )
* Rachel narrows her eyes. "...they're taking kids...?"
* Tori 's eyes suddenly become alert.
<GMStoren> [Mayor] So.. he is of the Mana family.. and the Pandoran nobility. No wonder the poison targetted us...
<Roric> «ooc: Ha ha. Cody is responsible for the horrible doom of innocent children! What a jerk! »
<Cody> «ooc: That's what he feels right now :p »
<Roric> «ooc: Mayor: We changed our mind again! It IS all your fault! »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: [Mayor] So Get out! >>
<Cody> «ooc: Again, that's what he feels ^^ »
<Cody> . o O ( ...I'm not hero... )
<GMStoren> [Keylia] It figures.. they'd know his age... and if they find out Cody's already taken his destiny up, we're definitely going to be eprused..
<Cody> «ooc: no, even. »
<Niki> «ooc: >> The town villagers each grab a torch and form an angry hunting down Cody. »
<GMStoren> « er chased rather »
* Rachel steps from Keylia's side and heads to Cody's side...touching his shoulder.
<Roric> «ooc: I not hero! You have problem!? »
<Chrys> «ooc: An angry hunting? »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: pursued? >>
<Rachel> <<Mana Knight...Gemma....connection. ^_^>>
<Chrys> «ooc: You forgot the mob somewhere, Niki »
<Cody> «ooc: Roric! YOu have DELCIOUS FOOD! »
* Cody looks up at Rachel with haunted eyes.
<Niki> «ooc: mmm...angry hunting. Sounds like some cheap place to get dinner. »
<GMStoren> [Mayor] Cody, even though we might have forced you to leave before, this time it might be the best for us if they are after you.. obviously we can't protect ourselves from this demonic magic.
* Rachel murmurs.. "...don't put the blame on yourself...focus on the problem and fix it...I'll stand beside you."
<Chrys> «ooc: THEY BUILT A DINER ON HIS CORPSE HOW DARE THEY »
* Rachel drops her hand and looks towards the Mayor...
<Niki> «ooc: So...you'd still eat there. ;) »
<Cody> I was planning on leaving, Mayor. It would be selfish of me to remain and put you all at risk.
<GMStoren> [Mayor] I want you to understand we aren't making you this time. This will always be your home..
* Chrys steps next to Rachel. "All of us are behind you. Well, except for Rhiana, who's more concerned about selling us out or something..."
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Cody> I know...but I can't stay...I caused enough trouble.
<GMStoren> [Father] You've got strong friends now Cody. I believe you'll do whatever it is your father couldn't...
* Rachel casts Chrys a grin and then crosses her arms.
<Chrys> Hmm? ^_-
* Cody looks to his Mother and Father, "...Thank you for everything you've done for me..."
<Rhiana> ...
<GMStoren> [Mother] At least stay here the night? I'm welle nough to make dinner and the beds.. and...
<Cody> «ooc: Rhiana: Y U HERT ME? »
* Niki looks at Keylia and whispers. "Can we go now. This is boring."
<Rachel> <<lol :o>>
<Roric> «ooc: Yeah! Everyone mock Rhiana! »
* Cody looks to the others, "Can we stay the night? Or is that too risky?"
<GMStoren> [Keylia] (w) Just ride it out Niki... family is important, right?
<Rachel> ...we can stay.
* Roric frowns.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Niki:Not to me >>
<Roric> We'll 'afta leave early.
<Cody> We have to leave first thing tomorrow...yeah, what Roric said.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
<Niki> «ooc: Chris: Almost. »
* Rachel drops her arms and nods. ^^
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o >>
* Roric gravitates toward Rhiana. "So what DO ya think the Empire's gonna do next"
<Niki> (w) Kinda...unless you have my parents.  My mom and dad were to picky.
<Cody> But I'm sure the others wouldn't mind...It'd be nice to sleep in my own bed ^^;
* Rahne smiles.. *
<Cody> «ooc: ...ooh i can take that line in an obscene way :D EVERYONE IN CODYS BED ALA FF4! »
* Rhiana eyeballs Roric, "So now you want my opinion?"
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Rachel likes that...oh yeah ^_^ >>
<Rachel> Well.. I'm not staying in that same room. ;)
<GMStoren> « brb a moemnt. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Pause? »
* Roric shrugs. "You seemed ta wanta offer it."
<Rachel> <<I think we can still talk :o>>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: we now interrupt this lude for a word from our sponsors >>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: er, session ^_^ >>
<Rhiana> Well, regardless to popular opinion, I don't want to see any of you die.
* Cody winces at Rhiana's words.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Rahne: I do! >>
<Rahne> << Fie. >_< >>
<Chrys> .oO(Well, you could try talking straight for once, Rhi.)
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Sorry >_< >>
<Niki> «ooc: <Everyone> Cept Niki! <Rhiana> Well...yeah. <Niki> HEY! »
<Rhiana> So, my opinion is that it's dangerous for us to stay in town.
<Cody> «ooc: Gah, now the teasing has shifted from Cody to Rahne. Leave Rahne alone! :) »
<GMStoren> « Ok, ready. ;) »
<Rachel> <<Heheheh.>>
<Chrys> .oO(Hiding something again, figures.)
<Roric> «ooc: leave her ALONE? O_o »
* Rachel rubs her neck and arches an eyebrow. "It's dangerous to stay anywhere...."
* Rhiana raises an eyebrow as seems to...feel something
<Cody> «ooc: Yes roric! Amazing as it sounds! ;) »
* Roric chuckles. "Can't decide if I should be 'appy or un'appy 'bout that. But yeah...I'm not real keen on stickin' 'round 'ere either." He frowns, surveying the scene. "Still...I think 'e needs it."
* Tori ,looking a little less beaten with the messy, snot dripping virus stick, pulls the mayor aside for a moment.
<Tori> *q* Exuse me, sir..about all these children that have gone missing..has the name Furcht ever come up in relation to the disappearances?
* Cody suddenly pales, and shivers a bit.
<Rhiana> You should have asked me earlier...something just happened.
<Roric> «ooc: Bah. Rahne should be mocked, dammit. ^_~ »
* Rhiana jets out the door
<GMStoren> Keylia looks over her shoulder, out the door.
<Rachel> ...?
<Rachel> What's going on?
<Cody> ...Everyone..? Somethings here...!
<Chrys> Something going on?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ewww...Tori has a stick dripping with snot?Ugh >>
<Roric> «ooc: What was Rhi's commend in response to? »
* Rachel blinks and heads after Rhiana. O_o
<Chrys> Aw, fucknuts.
<Cody> Wait!
* Rahne snaps her ears up.. *
* Chrys draws his knives, ready for a battle, follwing Rachel!
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Rachel.. wait..!
<Chrys> «ooc: following »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Towards you guys in particular..she suspected this ;) »
* Cody turns to his parents, giving them a helpless look, before he follows Rachel.
* Roric blinks. "Screw."
<Rachel> <<Uh oh ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Mayor] What's going on?
* Rahne follows.. *
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: WTF? >>
* Roric yanks out his boomerang and follows in exasperation.
<Rachel> <<*turns on KoRn - Falling Away From Me*>>
<GMStoren> You all get outside of the meeting hall to find the town square. The sky seems to have grown dark.
* Cody calls out as he runs out the door, "Get everyone to someplace safe! Something's here!"
<Rachel> ...?? What the..
* Rahne says, before ducking out the door. * I'm not sure.. I can just feel it.. like energy..
* Niki follows and yanks out her axe.
<Cody> It's him...I know it's him!
* Rachel draws her sword, frowning...
<Roric> Whoa. This's a bit more than I expected.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: DANGIT!I want my battle music! >>
<Rachel> .....him?
<Chrys> Aw, hell, you don't mean HIM, do you? -_-
* Rhiana uncurls her whip
<GMStoren> A bolt of black power rises up from the ground, blossoming into the form of a man..
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: God appears! >>
* Cody is still trembling a little, "Khryos...It's what I felt when he poisoned me...this strange aura around him..."
<Rachel> ....
<Cody> Gah-!
* Roric whips on his cloak in a hurry, pulling the hood up.
<Rhiana> I knew it...the he knew we were coming here....he knew he could find us here...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ah, fudge >>
<GMStoren> [Khyros] ...well, well. You got rid of my little curse. That does not please me.
<Rachel> ....
* Cody narrows his eyes, "Bastard...."
* Rachel heads to the front, glaring at Khyros...her sword is held steady..
* Chrys steps up next to Rachel. "Fuck you and your pleasures."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Khyros!
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Hey Storen? This is the right time for Cody to learn a ultra tight new spell ^_^ >>
<GMStoren> « Not quite ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Nah duh. »
<Roric> «ooc: ...tight? »
<Cody> «ooc: Tight ass? »
<Rachel> Get lost, Khyros....there's nothing for you here.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Fine, a cool spell ^_^\ >>
<Chrys> «ooc: AUGH 90s LINGO BAD »
<GMStoren> The people lock the door to the hall, escaping out a side entrance. :o
* Roric hangs back in the shadows.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Oh really...
* Rachel jabs her sword a bit as an emphasis.
<Cody> How dare you hurt so many people...just for me? What kind of sick twisted man are you...?
<Rhiana> Begone Khyros.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] A very generous one for allowing you to live, precious Gemma.
<Rachel> <<~ Beating me down, beating me down, down, down into the ground.. ~>>
<Cody> I'm not YOUR gemma!
<GMStoren> [Khyros] But I'm not here for you just yet...
* Rachel growls lowly...
<Chrys> ...What?
<GMStoren> Khyros turns his black eyes to Rachel.
<Rachel> ....
<Cody> What are you here for...huh? O_o
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Cody: I'm RACHEL's Gemma! >>
<Chrys> ...Oh FUCK no!
<Cody> Leave her alone!
* Niki charges towards Khyros with her axe ready.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] You think you are so mighty with that sword by your side?
* Cody steps in front of Rachel! O_o
<Niki> Fight time! I'll kick your butt!
<Rachel> ....
<GMStoren> Niki is grabebd by a skeeltal ahnd, pinned to the ground.
<Cody> «ooc: No one cares or saves her ^^ »
* Rachel slowly begins to pale, feeling her skin begin to crawl...
* Chrys steps in front of Rachel. "She has friends. You'll have to go through me to even touch her."
<GMStoren> Keylia starts spinning her sickle...
<Niki> Ugh...HEY!  Let me go!
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. Chrys and I are blocking hte way ^^ »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: oooooh craaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppp >>
<Rachel> Get out of my way, you two....don't you dare get hurt..
<Rhiana> Have a ball.
<Cody> I'm not helpless, you know. Hurt her and you'll have to go through your 'precious gemma'...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: GodNPC? >>
* Rhiana throws a fireball at Khyros
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Oh, I wasn't going to touch her. I merely came...
<Chrys> I'll get hurt if I damn well want to...
<Rachel> .....
<GMStoren> Khyros bats the fireball away harmlessly.
<Niki> «ooc: obscene. »
<Rhiana> That was not good.
<GMStoren> [[Khyros]] ...on bhealf of someone else.
<Rachel> .......n...
<Cody> «ooc: Double bracket action! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Single letter action! »
* Cody blinks a few times, confused, "What...?"
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Type action! >>
* Rachel pales even further, fear suddenly dancing in her eyes...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: typo* >>
<Cody> Rachel...what's he talking about?
* Niki starts to kick, trying to break free of the hand.
<GMStoren> A figure steps out from behind Khyros. It is a well built, muscular man, tall and noble. His blonde hair is well kept, an a small sword hangs at his side, engraved with the emblem of a noble house.
<Roric> «ooc: it'd be funny if the hand didn't vanish when Khyros did, and we just left her stuck there. »
<Rachel> .......
* Rachel utters a soft cry and steps back..
<Rhiana> ...You.
<Cody> ...Who are you? Identify yourself!
<Rahne> The Sundin Crest..
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: The hand starts to grope Niki!Obscene! >>
* Rachel starts to shake...
<Rachel> <<Brodeur. Close. ;)>>
<Chrys> ...Sundin...?
<Cody> Sundin?
<Roric> «ooc: It's Rachel's old boyfriend? »
<Chrys> What?
<Roric> «ooc: sunDIIIIIIIIN! »
<Cody> «ooc: Super sayin! »
<Niki> «ooc: Chris: Thats just wrong in so many ways. Niki is 12/ @_@ »
<Rachel> W....wh....
<Roric> «ooc: Chris, that was the joke I knew better than to make. ^_~ »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: exactly ^_^ >>
<Rachel> No....
<Cody> Are you deaf or something? I said WHO ARE YOU?!
<Chrys> He's obviously the new villian, Cody.
<GMStoren> [[Man]] Don't tell me you haven't told them Rachel...
* Rahne nods. * House Sundin is a reputable noble house of Pandora.. Are the Sundin in league with Khryos?
<Rachel> .....
<GMStoren> « gah ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Who the hell are you?!
<Cody> Rachel? Who is he...?
<Rachel> Don't....
* Rachel pushes past Cody and Chrys, rushing to the man.. "Don't.....don't, please...don't..."
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: [Man] I am Rachel's father >>
<Cody> Rachel! No!
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^; >>
<GMStoren> Kurik slowly walks oevr to Rachel, eyes rivetted on her in a piercing gaze.
* Chrys blinks.
* Rachel skids to a stop...!
<Roric> «ooc: Kurik...that sounds familiar. Oh yeah. Also, remind me to kick Ashton's ass. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Why?! »
<Cody> . o O ( Is this what she was talking about...? What she wanted me to protect her from...? )
* Rachel shudders softly and gazes at Kurik...
<Roric> «ooc: Just a reflex. :D »
<Chrys> «ooc: ... »
<Rhiana> ...for once I wouldn't mind seeing some Imperials right now.
<GMStoren> [Kurik] Does your little band of misfits know who I am.. or who you are for that matter?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_o >>
<Rachel> .....
* Rachel 's sword lowers..
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Plot twist, anyone? >>
<Cody> Don't you touch her!
* Cody takes a few steps foraward, raising his staff.
* Roric walks away.
<Chrys> ...I don't know, and I don't care. Two packmates protect each other, regardless of what the other's done. I'm the same way.
<Cody> «ooc: roric: Screw you guys. Home. »
<Rachel> <<O_o Roric hates me. :P Yay!>>
<GMStoren> Kurik goes to Rachel and cups her chin... as rachel somehow does not do anything..
* Niki continues to struggle to break free from the hand.
<Chrys> So fuck off and take your mysterious past with you.
<Rachel> ....
* Rachel closes her eyes..
<Cody> I said let her GO!
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. Now THAT's a good line from Chrys. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Rachel.. why are just standing there? He's an Imperial.. hit him!
<Rachel> ....I.....
<Niki> «ooc: Why do I get the feeling that 'Mystere' is gonna appear. »
<Roric> «ooc: Probably not. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Naw >>
* Cody looks frantically for some way to get to Rachel without making himself vunerable.
<GMStoren> Kurik grabs Rachel and twists her around so she's facing the group, locked in a tight embrace.
<Roric> «ooc: Tango! »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Eww!Obscene! >>
<Chrys> ...
* Rachel opens her eyes, terror in them...
<Cody> Stop it! Let her go!
<GMStoren> [Kurik] Introduce me, rachel.. Introduce.. US.
* Rahne grips her spear.. *
<Cody> ...Us?
<Chrys> ...Rachel...
<Rachel> N-no....don't....don't make me..
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: Y U....aw forget it. »
<Rhiana> He's not an Imperial...
<GMStoren> [Kurik] What did you say to me?!
* Rachel 's eyes widen!
<GMStoren> Kurik slaps Rachel hard across the face, sending her flying back in tears of pain.
<Roric> «ooc: We need to hire a sniper to follow us from a distance and kill any bad guys who dramatically appear. »
* Rachel cries out!
* Cody takes a few steps foward, not liking the tone in the mans voice...
<Cody> Hey!
<GMStoren> [Kurik] You worthless cow... I'll do it myself.
* Chrys snarls. "You son of a bitch... I'll kill her if it kills you... Nobody does that to her."
<Rachel> .....hnn..
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Cody!Melodramatic action NOW! >>
* Rachel drops to her knees...
<GMStoren> Keylia throws Reaver out at Kurik in anger, but a force deflects it!
<Rhiana> «ooc: Wow, he is her boyfriend »
* Cody runs to Rachel and stands in front of her, "You sick son of a bitch!"
<Rhiana> «ooc: Look how fast she got on her knees for him »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Damn you.. you pgi!
* Chrys draws his knives and slowly advances towards the man.
<GMStoren> « er pig »
<Rachel> C...Cody....no.....stop...
<Roric> «ooc: It sounds like Cody is dissing Rachel. ^_~ »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: YEah,huh? >>
<GMStoren> [Kurik] You see, my friends, Rachel Sundin is actually Rachel Brodeur. My wife. She's a noblewoman from the first and finest house of Pandora...and she's been lying to you. The whole time
<Rachel> .......
* Cody wideyes and drops his staff in surprise...
<Cody> W...Wife?
<Roric> «ooc: Way to go, Cody. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Ahhhhhhhhhh, craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppp >>
<Chrys> You must have a hearing problem, blondie. I. Don't. Care.
<Roric> «ooc: Cody drops his staff and runs away in surprise! »
* Rachel cries silently, turning her head...
<Rahne> Oh my...  so -that's- what it was...  Miss Rachel...
<Cody> ...
<GMStoren> [Kurik] *looks to Cody* my dear Rachel, have you been fucking this wretch? Hm? What about the rest? Did they all have a go?"
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: I've sworn more times in this sesion then I've done all week >_< >>
<Rachel> .....n...no!!!
<Roric> «ooc: Rahne is running out of people not to use titles with. ^_~ »
<Rachel> I...I didn't...
<Rachel> I...
* Cody picks up his staff again, "Shut up."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You abstard.. what give you the fucking right.. :o
<Cody> Just shut up.
<Roric> «ooc: Cody: Whoops. I dropped it. hee hee. Um, anyway. »
<Rahne> << I know.  The title thing will probably dominate her next diary entry. ^^; >>
* Chrys continues to advance. "Nobody treats a woman like that. Especially a noble. I thought you were supposed to have class...be a role model..."
<GMStoren> [Kurik] Ohhhh...I see....so you also play both sides of the field, eh Rachel? You dirty bitch...did this one make you scream?
<Rachel> ...!!
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Ooh!You go Cody! >>
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. I like Kurik. »
<Cody> That's ENOUGH!
<GMStoren> « Rachel wrote this ;) »
<Rachel> << ;) >>
* Cody strikes out in Kuirk in anger!
<Roric> «ooc: Let her NPC him! »
<Roric> «ooc: He rules! »
* Rachel doesn't even move, curling up into herself...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: I like Kurik cuz it's a nice ANGST starter ^_^ >>
<GMStoren> Cody is knocked back by some sort of field.
* Tori raises Seraph's and leveling it at him, looks at Kurik with the dead eyes of his other face.
<Roric> «ooc: Nobody's quite gotten the hang of the "wizard force field" thing yet, have they? »
<Tori> Who she was doesn't matter.
<Cody> Damn you...Coward...hiding behind your little magics...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: nope >>
<Roric> «ooc: Why do you think Roric's not fighting? »
<Rachel> Kurik.....
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Ah yes.. I have my own weapon against the knight... and it isn't a mere blade... hahah.
<Tori> What she does, or did doesn't matter.
<Tori> Who she is shines through.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: let's have "Cody's pendant starts to glow!" action ^_^ >>
<GMStoren> [[Kurik]] Shut up. You're coming home with me. Where you belong. Where you've ALWAYS belonged
<Rachel> ......
<Roric> «ooc: Khyros: Fall, feeble Mana Knight, before my SCATHING WIT! »
<Rachel> y.....
<Rachel> Yes...
<Cody> She doesn't belong with you. I don't care who she is. She's my friend. She's not coming with you!
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: O_O >>
* Rachel buries her head in her hands...
<Chrys> ...
<GMStoren> You start to hear what sounds like a sonic boom from above...
* Chrys snarls.
<Chrys> NO.
<Roric> «ooc: Dammit, Chris, you're gonna need to raise your O_O standards a bit. ^_~ »
<Cody> «ooc: Shane: NO... »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^ >>
* Chrys backs up and stands next to Rachel, picking her up.
<GMStoren> Khyros and Kurik stop the tirade a moment, looking up...
<Chrys> I WILL FUCKING KILL HER. 
<Rachel> <<O_o Bawr? :o>>
<GMStoren> Out of the sky come shooting an enourmous 4 winged white dragon!!
<Cody> ...You'll WHAT?! O_O
<Chrys> ......
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: WTF? >>
<Roric> «ooc: I don't think he means Rachel. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Heheheh. »
<Rhiana> ...those still exist....
* Rahne blanches.. *
<Rachel> ...wh....
<Roric> <offscreen> What the...?
* Chrys doesn't look all that shocked.
<GMStoren> Khyros and Kurik are knocked back by a gale force wind, clear of the party...
<Cody> ...Flammie...?
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys was expectoing anything, even HIS MOM! »
* Rachel shoves away from Chrys and staggers away from him, looking at the sky..
<Niki> This sucks.  Stupid hand...I'm gonna cho....oooh, pretty.  Can I ride it?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: oooh!Rachel's gonna be able to play chicken with the mountains soon! >>
<GMStoren> Flammie lands in the middle of town, upon her back a Mushboom in regal robes.
<Roric> «ooc: Tori is awfully quiet. »
<Cody> «ooc: Niki IS Kiki. »
<Rachel> ....
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] Everyone get on!
* Chrys is shoved, putting his daggers back in their sheaths. "Looks like I didn't need to use that little gambit after all."
* Cody grabs Rachel's hand, "C'mon!"
<Rahne> Miss Rachel..?
* Rachel pulls her hand from Cody's almost roughly and shudders..
<Niki> Hey, everyone is going to ride it but me.  Thats not fair!
* Chrys proceeds to flip onto Flammie's back with what appears to be an expert's touch.
<Chrys> Rachel, GET ON!
* Rhiana helps Cody, "The Gravy Train has arrived, it's time for the Mana Knight to leave the town."
<Cody> You can't go back with him!  Please! Don't listen to hm! He'll kill you...! Please!
<Rachel> .....
<Cody> No! Stop it Rhiana! I'm not going without her!
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: are Khyros and the other guy DOING anything? >>
<Chrys> «ooc: They got knocked on their asses. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I'm helping you, Lucca ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh. ^^ I thought you were draggin' me on :p »

<Rhiana> «ooc: No :P »
<Cody> «ooc: Nuke it ^^ »
<Cody> Rachel...I don't care! I don't care about Kurik or any of that...Please...please come with us...
<GMStoren> Kurik struggles to stand up.
* Roric rushes back onto the scene, still clad in a long hooded cloak.
<Niki> «ooc: The party is going to take off w/o Niki. Roric's dream come true. »
* Cody reaches out for her pleadingly.
<Chrys> Expect the unexpected, necro.
<Roric> «ooc: Yeah! »
<Rachel> ...Kur....
<Cody> Please...
<Roric> «ooc: And no Meira either! »
<Cody> «ooc: Haha! »
* Rachel looks at Cody and heads past him, to the Flammie...
<Rhiana> Come on Rachel, we have things to do.
* Chrys tosses a dagger at Kurik, hoping his barrier's down this split moment.
<GMStoren> Keylia grabs Niki and flips onto Flammie. "Just hold on, kiddo!" ^^
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Flammie: Please keep all appendages, weapons, etc. in the ride. Thank You. >>
<Roric> «ooc: THe hand just went away? aw. »

<ChrisWizard> ooc Flammie: Please secure all loose articles

* Tori clmibs on to the dragon's backa nd holds on for dear life.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Shoot...OOC >>
<Roric> Time ta blow this joint.
* Cody 's gaze is rooting on Khyros.
* Cody then sticks up his middle finger at him and kisses it.
<GMStoren> With a few flaps, and a huge cloud of dust, you take off into the sky!
<Roric> .oO( I wonder if he saw me... )
<Cody> «ooc: rooted, even. »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: hah! >>
* Rachel hugs the dragon, her face lowered...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: that was kinda obscene, though >>
<GMStoren> Kurik shakes his fist up at the Flammie. "Rachel... you will be MINE! You cannot run from your oath forever!"
<Rhiana> Well, I saw that one coming.
<Rachel> ....
<Chrys> ...
*** Mikey (fe@ccm115969.ventura.perki.net) has joined #Pureland
<GMStoren> The entire town receeds into a mere pin prick in a sea of green...
<Cody> (w) I'll make sure you never get your hands on her again...
<Roric> Bloody 'ell. I was 'opin' we could get in an' out before they caught on. We might 'afta skip our trip to the shrines.
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] Well, tha was quite an entrance, are you alright?
* Rachel stares down at the white fur blankly...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: fur? >>
* Roric peers forward. "I'm fine, pal. Rachel...?"
<Cody> We're okay...
<Chrys> Most of us are... Rachel here is going to need some time to recuperate, though, it seems, Truffie.
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 18: Return to Forever | Loc: In the Air | Time: Undine's Day, Afternoon | 1609 Luc -=-'
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Rachel... I'm going to so kick his ass...
<Cody> . o O ( I didn't even get to say goodbye. Mom...Dad...stay safe...I'm sorry... )
<Rhiana> Hey Mushroom King, we need a secure place to rest.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Let's go to Disneyland! >>
* Chrys looks at Keylia. "Hey, Key..."
<GMStoren> Flammie makes a squeeking roar or two... ^^
<Rhiana> . o O (Although I'm not sure any place is safe from Khyros..his magic is ungodly...)
* Rachel shudders hard and hugs the dragon tighter, her voice low... "....never....away..."
<Niki> That was cool....well the hand sucked, but this white thing rocks. :D
* Rachel goes silent.
* Cody reaches back and holds Rachel's hand reassuringly.
<Cody> «ooc: While holding for dear life with the OTHER :P »
<Chrys> Cody!! Leave her alone for now.
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] Well, I can take you back to Matango if youw ant! You allr an off when we were waiting for you!
* Rachel snaps her eyes up and tugs her hand free
<Roric> «ooc: I like Niki now. Hehe. »
* Cody draws his hand away as if he's struck, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
* Rachel looks scared -_-
<Rhiana> Will Mantago be safe?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: A...angst..overloa...Hey, that was messed up Rachel >_< >>
<Roric> We might wanna 'ead somewhere less obvious.
<Cody> «ooc: Nah, I understand her. ^^ »
<Roric> You got anyplace near Matango where we can crash?
<Rahne> ..We could go to Mandala..  it may be a little more removed from the world.. and near Master Joch..
<Rhiana> . o O (I suppose it would be hard for an Imperial agent to operate freely in a kingdom full of pizza toppings..)
<Rachel> <<THC - Need to Destroy ;)>>
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] As long as I'm in charge it'll sure be! those Wendelians chase you off?
* Cody looks dowm. It's now his turn to look at Flammie's fur blankly.
<Chrys> Mandala... That's not a bad plan, Rahne...
<Rhiana> «ooc: Let's go to the Gold City :D »
<Niki> «ooc: NO! »
<Roric> We gotta avoid bein' obvious at this point. Khyros just proved we can't 'ead t'the expected place even for a day.
<Chrys> Hmm...
<Rhiana> We can't go where we'd be expected to go.
<Chrys> The Gold City?
<Roric> Right now, th'expected place'll be Matango, so if we do 'ead there, we'll wanna make tracks fast.
* Rachel quietly tugs at the turtleneck, ripping the covering away from her neck to rub the scar there....she tosses the ripped fabric off the side of Flammie...
<Rhiana> Any idiot could find us.
<Niki> NO!
<Chrys> .oO(Shut up...)
<Roric> Gold City...'eard o' that place. 
<Cody> ...
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] You should see Joch.. he was asking about you! And the Palaces are still needing your green thumb as it were. I'm just here to get you your transportation..
* Tori looks back at the speck on the horizon that they just left. (q) "So much for Kippo..Where do I even start to look for her now?"
<Cody> . o O ( I couldn't even protect her...She's his WIFE... )
<Niki> No, the Gold City is bad.  You won't like it.  ^^;
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] Flammie didn't wanna leave her kids behind so easy.. ain't that right girl?
<Chrys> ...
* Chrys blinks and looks at Niki. "For once...you're right."
<GMStoren> Flammie roars a few times in response.. ^^
<Rhiana> let's just find a safe place
<Cody> ...Yes, please...
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] So Mandala our destination? I'll show you the tricks of flying her as we head there.
<Rhiana> Rachel isn't in good shape.  She needs rest.
<Chrys> Rhiana...nowhere's safe...
<Rachel> .....
<Roric> ZWe can't go ta the palaces. That's the most obvious possible thin'.
<Cody> «ooc: You see, the A button helps you to land, the B button moves you forward...the start button shows you the map! »
* Roric shakes his head.
<Rahne> I think Mandala, Highness..
<GMStoren> King Truffle also takes out a strange drum, with two hammers on it.
* Niki doesn't notice the drum or anything else for that matter as she looks like she is deep in thought.
<Cody> «ooc: Niki's head explodes. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Niki can THINK? O_o »
* Rhiana eyesballs Chrys, "You suspect the same thing I do, then."
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] *hands it to Rachel* Here, use this to call Flammie whenever you need her... it's her favorite thing.. besides helping heroes and her pups of course. ^^
<Rachel> . o O (....I'll never escape....never....)
<Niki> «ooc: Hey, Niki can think. She just doesn't all the time. »
* Rachel looks up at Truffle and nods, quietly talking. "...thank you..."
<GMStoren> >> Got the Flammie Drum!
* Rachel puts it in her pack..
<Chrys> ...Basically, yes. The only place we could possibly be safe is currently twenty thousand leagues under.
<Niki> .oO( My mom would have chewed me out if we went to the Gold City...that would have sucked. )
<Cody> . o O ( ...Cause so much suffering to others...Now Rachel suffers because of me... )
<Roric> We'll wanna go easy on the big flyin' dragon, by the by. She gets us where we're goin', but she sticks out like dog's balls.
<GMStoren> Flammie does a few circles, then starts off for the mountains of Mandala, sweeping through the blue sky with ease..
<Cody> «ooc: LOL Roric ^^ »
<Rhiana> Hey King Truffle, take it easy please..Rachel isn't feeling so good.
* Roric carefully ties his shawl around his head like a hood again.
<GMStoren> Keylia is still grumblign curses about Kurik and Khyros.
<Rachel> ....
* Chrys pokepokes Keylia on the shoulder.
* Cody sticks his pendant under his shawl and draws a hood up from a vest he's wearing.
<Rhiana> Something bothers me about this last meeting.
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] Sorry... mayeb as I get odler I feel the need for speed. The world's at stake you know.
<Chrys> Something like, oh, everything, Rhiana?
<Rachel> . o O ("Did they all have a go?")
* Rachel shudders more and buries her face in a hand...
<Rhiana> No, Rachel's private business is her own.  It's none of my business to pry..I'm talking about the fact that Khyros was working completely independantly.
<GMStoren> Keylia looks up. "What, Chrys?!"
<Rahne> It's not my place to argue, your Highness.  Make haste at your discretion.
<Roric> «ooc: Damn, now Rachel will be too self-conscious to have sex with Roric. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: Heh! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Sorry.. I'm just pissed... is this about what I think?
* Chrys looks at Keylia and grins. "Do kindly shut up. You're not helping your partner feel any BETTER about herself."
<Cody> . o O ( ...Everyone suffers...I wish I was dead...Least I'll get my wish soon... )
<Roric> Here's 'opin th'emperor chops that necro's 'ead off.
<Rhiana> I know if I came up with the plan, the Empire had as well...
<Rachel> <<I'm going to beat Cody to death ;)>>
<Rhiana> Why weren't there any troops or officers there...
<Cody> «ooc: Gah! Well, he tried to comfort you and you're like, "leave me alone, bitch! I'm angsting! »
<Rachel> <<Hey! You're a guy! It's not like she's gonna be so happy to be touched by any guy right now!>>
<Cody> . o O ( ...I'm so scared though...Oh goddes... )
<Cody> «ooc: GODDESS »
<Chrys> «ooc: Actually, Chrys was more like "leave her alone, bitch! She's angsting!" »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] ...
<Roric> «ooc: Oh, great, Rachel's gonna be a stone lesbian now. ^_~ »
<Rachel> <<LOL ;) >>
<Cody> «ooc: Maybe I shoulda kept his hair long. You wuolda felt better! »
<Rachel> <<sigh. ;) Sure sure...mock me...! >>
<Rhiana> I just don't know....
<Rachel> ......w...where are we...going...? I guess I missed that...?
* Rachel looks up...
<Cody> Mandala...
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Sorry Chrys. But when an evilw izard is gunning for your partner, don't you think I have a right to be angry?
<Chrys> We're going to have to roll with the punches here, Rhiana...that's all we can do. Rachel, we're going to Mandala.
<Rachel> Mandala....alright...
* Tori breaks his silence and looks at Rhiana "You think Julius doesn't know what Khyros has planned?"
<Chrys> Yes, Keylia, you have a right to be angry. Just don't vocalize it, please. ^^;
<GMStoren> Keylia looks aside to Rachel.
<Cody> . o O ( Couldn't even protect her...you looked like a fool...Just a burden... )
* Rachel looks at Keylia and scootches closer to her...
<Rhiana> I don't know Tori...that's what confuses me.  The Emperor obviously has a plan...
<Rachel> <<scootches :P LOL>>
* Cody sees Rachel scoot closer to Keylia, closes his eyes, and turns to the horizon...
<Roric> Not sure the Emperor an' Khyros are on th'same page with this.
<GMStoren> The mountains loom close...soon you'll be there.
<Rhiana> And General Flaresoul isn't the type to just let someone have control over some of his forces without him knowing why...
<Roric> Mebbe they'll kill each other.
<Cody> . o O ( She probably wants nothing to do with me. Couldn't even keep my promise. It's probably for the best. No need for friendships when you won't be alive long... )
<Roric> Or mebbe Khyros killed them already and is controlling them wit' necromantic shit. Damned if I know. I just want to shove 'is 'ead up 'is ass.
<Cody> «ooc: Someone talk to me before I ANGST MYSELF UP A TREE ;_; »
<Roric> «ooc: Someone push Cody off the dragon. :P »
<Rachel> <<LOL!!>>
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] listen to you all go on...
<Rhiana> That is possible, Roric.
<Cody> «ooc: That too! »
* Chrys blinks.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Cody:oooh....I ain't feeling so gooood >>
* Chrys sighs. "Cody...? You're acting...Quiet."
<Rhiana> ..I hope it's not though.
* Rachel just huddles closer to Keylia, finding some comfort in the safe presence of someone not male. :p
* Cody looks back to Chrys, "Sorry...just thinking.'
<Rahne> ..I'm sorry you didn't get to say good bye to your parents, Cody..  if you want, when we get to my place, you can write a letter and we can mail it back to them...
<Rhiana> I don't want to see anyone know die out of this whole thing...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Cody:*throws up* >>
<GMStoren> Keylia puts and arm around Rachel. "...I'm guessing that's one fo your secrets this time, eh?"
<Cody> Thanks Rahne...I'd appreciate that...
<Rhiana> ...well..almost anyone.
<Chrys> About how everything's your fault and you wish you could just die?
<Roric> «ooc: Watch Keylia beat and rape Rachel now. »
<Roric> «ooc: Mwahahaa. »
<Cody> «ooc: Roric! ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: What? ^_^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Not everything in SOM is dark and angsty! Only MOSTLY everything! »
* Rachel laughs lowly, almost dead sounding, eyeing Keylia. "Yeah...I think that puts me at a disadvantage....you now have more than me..."
<Roric> «ooc: Ptsh, this isn't an angsty game for the most part. ^_~ »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<Cody> How did you...? O_o
<Rahne> ..I know it's not as good as actually saying it..  but..  it's a good short term fix until you can go back to see them..
<Chrys> Because that's how you ALWAYS seem to be thinking, Cody. -_-;
<Rhiana> I do know, though, Tori, that the Emperor is still the figurehead.  Khyros hasn't staged a coup.
<Chrys> Listen, it's NOT your fault...
<Rachel> <<lol...you GO Chrys ;)>>
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] Hey now, you people need to cheer up. Things will turn around. after all this is over, I'll invite you to the palace to dance the night away!
<Cody> ...You wouldn't know, Chrys.
<Cody> You just wouldn't know.
<Roric> ...yeh. Thanks.
<Rhiana> ...
<Rhiana> ...there is one alternative..but I hate to do it.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I dunno Rachel.. I think soon we'll be neck in neck...
<Cody> «ooc: Keylia: In MUD! hehehe. »
* Roric frowns ar Rhi. "Oh?"
<Chrys> No, I wouldn't. But do YOU really know? Are you going to try to make things better like you're expected to do, or are you going to whine and feel sorry for yourself until the day you die?!
<Rhiana> Yes Roric.
<Rhiana> I've been hanging around Cody and Rachel, because I knew the Empire was after them for some reason or another.
<GMStoren> Flammie starts to descend.. you see the rooftops of the mountain hamlet of knowledge grow closer and closer. Rahne feels a twinge of homesickness...
<Cody> ...Like I'm expected...
* Rachel tries to control her shivering, sighing... "....hey...as long as I get buried in good company..."
<Cody> Heh...
<Rhiana> I suspected that they would...seek them out.
* Roric nods.
<Chrys> ......
* Roric feels a tinge of vitriol.
* Rahne takes a deep breath.. *
<Rhiana> That hasn't happened....which means there's something rotten going on..
<Chrys> «ooc: Isn't that some kind of hair growth formula, Roric? »
<Cody> I never asked...I don't know...Give me a minute...I need to think...
<Rhiana> And if I'm going to accomplish what I set out to do...it might be best if I go to the Imperial Captial myself.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] We'll figure it out girl.. we'll figure it out...
<Rachel> <<Rache's beau shows up, slaps her, and opens a can of angst on everyone! ;)>>
<Chrys> ...
<Roric> I noticed that. Khyros 'asn't actually come out an' fought us yet. 
<Roric> We're gonna need ta 'ead t'the Empire eventually...we all got...business there.
* Rachel nods quietly, just getting closer, closing her eyes..
<Tori> Don't you think that's kind of dangerous, Rhiana? Given your circumstances, I mean..
<Cody> ...I want to help but it doesn't erase the fact so many people died because of me, Chrys.
<Rhiana> Not really..they won't kill me.
<Cody> ...and the fact I can't do anything when I want to...-_-;
<Chrys> ...
* Chrys sighs.
* Rhiana grins slightly, "Although I could end up in prison for the rest of my life."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] If all you people are heading to the Empire, we should make for Northtown... maybe the rupublican army could get us some backup.
<Rachel> <<Heh. ^^;>>
<Roric> They seem reluctant t'kill any o' us at this point. We're gonna 'afta use that to our advantage while it lasts.
<Chrys> Cody...remember all those times you've healed us in battle?
<Cody> Yes...
<Roric> «ooc: Is Bob Dole in the republican army? »
<Rachel> ....c...can't we...rest first...?
<Chrys> You may have saved our lives each and every time you did that.
<Cody> «ooc: If Bush is in it I quit this game! »
<Rhiana> First thing is first, we need to get some rest...
<Cody> ...But I couldn't protect her...and I promised...
<Roric> The girl needs some sleep. *nod* Prolly more, but that's the best we can offer.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Yeah, rest.. I hope noone has a problem with Mandala...
<Rhiana> And I'm not saying all of you need to go to the Empire with me.
* Rahne leans over Flammie's side, seeing lights in the distance.. *
<GMStoren> [Kign truffle] Ok, I'll set her down somehwere near town..
<Cody> How can I protect the world when I can't protect my friend...?
<Roric> 'Ey, Mandala's near me ol' stompin' grounds. I'll be jus' outside the city until we're ready ta go, tho'.
<Rachel> As long as it's far away from him...
<Rhiana> You all don't have the same luxury that I do...so if we were caught, I couldn't say they wouldn't kill you.
<Roric> «ooc: http://oily.cjb.net/ Better than Zork and Zeebil. »
<Chrys> ...Cody, there's some things nobody can do. Just because it's an impossible feat now doesn't mean you can't conquer it somehow, though.
<Rahne> ..When I discover it, Cody..  I'll tell you that secret..
<Roric> Ain't no one gonna kill me.
<Cody> ...I hope you're both right...
<GMStoren> Flammie starts dropping, spiralling in smaller and small circles before braking and fluttering her four large wings as she touches down on a plateau outside the city limits.
* Rachel reaches up to touch her split lip...

* Roric hops off Flammie's back, gesturing for Keylia to approach him.
<GMStoren> « nroth actuall :) »
* Cody hops down as well.
* Rhiana leaps off the dragon
<Rahne> It's cold..  it'll snow any day now..  I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet..
* Chrys stays on Flammie...
* Tori gingerly clmibs down, happy to be back on the ground.
* Niki jumps off as well.
<GMStoren> Keylia hops off the big dragon, helping Rachel.
<Rhiana> Well..with all the glum faces. here...only one thing can cure that
<GMStoren> Rahne sees the first specks beginning to fall, the sky beginning to grow oevrcast.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: CAndy! >>
* Chrys sees Rachel get off the large...thing and hops off himself.
<Cody> ...I guess it's your turn to be home, huh Rahne?
* Rhiana points to the town, "Let's go fine this town's speciality foods! I'm starved!"
<Chrys> «ooc: Interludes! »
<Cody> «ooc: :O »
<Roric> «ooc: Keylia look like she's gonna come to Roric? »
<Niki> «ooc: NOoooo. »
<Cody> «ooc: Storen begins to spit blood! »
<Cody> «ooc: Storen seizures and dies at the mention of ludes! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Roric? *slips over*
<GMStoren> « ^^;; »
* Roric speaks quietly to Keylia.
* Rachel looks around, standing on her own now...
* Rahne nods. * It seems so.. and although I'm glad to be here, exstatic even.. I can't help but feel bad about how your visit home was cut so short..
<Chrys> «ooc: Storen doesn't seem to mind the ludes THAT badly, even though I'm sure he wishes we'd have less of them »
<Rachel> ....snow...?
<Roric> «ooc: If you knew this was gonna happen, you should have had less ludes before. ^_~ »
<Cody> «ooc: Well, one NICE thing about ludes is we don't have those 'meanwhile' things in session where people can't talk for half the game, ala Vay. »
* Rachel looks up...
<GMStoren> You can see the cliffside where the town resides, a path leading up towards it.
<Rhiana> «ooc: I think Storen just minds Ludes when they happen 3 or 4 nights a week and he can't do anything he wants to in the mean time ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: And WARPG! But that was an isolated incident. ^_~ »
<GMStoren> « heh ^^ »
<Cody> It's okay Rahne. So goes my life...
<Rahne> We're really high up, Miss Rachel..  winter comes earlier here..  it's September, after all.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Storen wants to go to Taco Bell, he can't, Lude time! »
<Rachel> ...I like snow...\
<Rachel> << - \ ;P>>
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: I like SNOW! It's comfy and easy to wear! »
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
<Rhiana> Isn't there a Seed of Mana somewhere around here...
<Chrys> «ooc: Oh, and Nyg? Who says he has to attend ludes? ^_^ »
* Cody holds his hand out, some snow falling on it.
* Rachel wipes the dried blood from her chin...
* Rahne turns back to Cody.. * No.. don't say things like that. People keep telling me life is what one makes of it, and if they're gonna make me buy into it.. I'm not gonna go alone.
* Roric continues whispering with Keylia.
<Rachel> <<It's now Rahne's turn to win Cody's heart. ;)>>
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. I was so tempted to Aura Wave Rachel right in the middle of that scene. »
* Cody blinks and smiles a bit at Rahne, "Thanks. :)"
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Noooooooooooo!!!!! >>
<Rahne> There is, Miss Rhiana..  guarded by Shade, in a shrine just south of town.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ;_; >>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! Chris! Sit down! ^^ »
<Cody> (w. to Rachel) I can heal that anytime...come to me if you want me to...
<Rhiana> Miss Rhiana?
<GMStoren> Keylia looks like she's questioning Roric about something.
* Cody walks ahead.
* Tori sneezes, but it doesn't seem as severe as earlier.
<Rachel> ....
<Rachel> ...Cody....
<Rahne> I'm sorry, ..Rhiana..
* Cody is out of earshot... :/
<Rachel> ....
* Chrys looks at Rahne. "I think we need to see Joch first...this group needs something to bring it back together..."
* Rachel feels even more shitty now. ^_^
* Rhiana snickers, "Don't worry about it. I just don't deserve titles of respect."
* Chrys proceeds to follow after the retreating Cody!
<Rhiana> I think we need to rest first.
<Roric> «ooc: I'm hoping Rachel's irreperably destroyed any relationship she might have with Cody, but that he doesn't get with Rahne either. »
<Rhiana> Rachel is about to have a mental breakdown
<Rachel> ...am not. Liar. Big liar.
<Rhiana> I can tell by your eyes.
<Rachel> What if I poke them out?
<Cody> «ooc: LOl. Cody is confused as hell ^^; Cody feels that he brings suffering to everyone he meets. He feels shitty. »
<Rachel> Huh?
<Rachel> how will ya know then?
* Rahne nods.. * We should go see my parents.. the house'll be warm, and I'm sure they'll have room for all of us.
<Rachel> <<lol :P>>
<Roric> «ooc: Rhiana: We'll never know unless you try. »
<Rhiana> Then I'd say you've already had your mental break down.
<Roric> «ooc: hehe. Good response. »
* Rachel wipes the back of her hand across her eyes..."....heh."
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: What time we finishing at? >>
* Roric shakes his head in response to something Keylia said.
<Cody> «ooc: Prolly in 15. We usually end around 9 »
<Rhiana> Now let's go get some food and rest, I get cranky when I haven't eaten.
* Rachel watches Keylia and Roric for moment before turning and heading after Chrys and Cody...
* Rahne nods. * I agree.. Visiting Master Joch can wait until tomorrow..
<Niki> Yeah, food! :D
<Rhiana> Anyone from around this area?
* Cody looks miserable.
* Rachel just hugs herself as she walks...
<Rahne> From around here?  This is my hometown. ^^;
<Rhiana> Good Rahne, what is the best place to eat in town
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: actually, Joch's test would fit in perfectly in this general part >>
<GMStoren> Keylia elbows Roric in the side, and follows towards Mandala.
<Rahne> Probably at home. ^^;  I just hope they're not put off by so much company.. ^^;
* Roric sighs, chuckles ruefully, and heads the opposite way, into the woods.
<Rahne> Mom & Dad's is this way..
* Chrys catches up to Cody. "Cod'..."
<Cody> Yes?
* Cody turns to Chrys.
<Rhiana> You mean your town doesn't have any speciality foods?
* Rahne scratches Flammie behind her ear.. * I like that feeling, so I bet you do too. Thank you for bringing us, Miss Flammie. ^^;
<Chrys> ...No angst. Angst bad. We need to think about doing good things, not feeling bad. ^^;
* Rhiana turns her head, "I studied your town extensively, but the important things never do come up..like best places to eat."
<GMStoren> [Flammie] Wargsweeek...
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] She says it's her pelasure. ^_^
<Roric> «ooc: It'd be funny if you never saw Roric again. Whee. »
<Rachel> .....
<Cody> (sighs) I know...I know...I just feel bad. About everything...I feel like I'm adrift. I couldn't even say goodbye to my family and I can't ever go home...I feel alone.
<Chrys> «ooc: Wargsweek, a new magazine by the people who wrote newsweek. »
<Rahne> Specialty foods?  I dunno..  maybe just marinated and roasted stuff...  spiced ales..
* Chrys signs and looks him straight in the eyes. "I know that feeling... and you aren't alone."
<Cody> «ooc: Is it full of wargs!? »
<Cody> Thanks...you aren't either, Chrys.
<Rhiana> ales?  Bah..I don't drink, that stuff is for pansies.
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. Jab at Roric! Mock Roric! »
<Rahne> Not a very colorful place..  I'm sorry.
<GMStoren> [King Truffle] Now, I'll be off... I got to tell all those religious folks that your'e safe.. and I've got a country to run! Hoho!
<Rachel> ....are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?
<Cody> Thank you, King Truffle!
* Rachel tries to force humor into her voice. ^^;
<Rhiana> Actually Rahne, I have to say it is a colorful place...I like the scenery..very peaceful here...
<GMStoren> Flammie flaps her wings and rises up, soon out of sight... ^^
<Rhiana> ...I wish this was also my hometown.
<Cody> «ooc: Flammie flaps her wings ploudly! »
<Roric> «ooc: Now Rachel's really nuts. Let's abuse her all the time now and see what happens. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rachel> <<Just wait till the next battle. ;)>>
<Chrys> Let's just try to enjoy this while we can, Cod'. Maybe you and Rahne can get some quality time under your belt. ^^
<Rachel> <<Heheh.>>
* Cody blushes a bit, "Uh..." ^^;
<Rhiana> «ooc: Why do I see a Lude of a massive 3 way with Cody, Rachel and Rahne? »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Noononononononooooooooooo >>
<Roric> «ooc: Roric may just cast Sleep Flower on her next battle. He was debating doing it this session. »
<Rachel> <<No.>>
* Chrys winks and starts to walk over to where the party is.
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 18: Return to Forever | Loc: City of Learning, Mandala | Time: Undine's Day, Afternoon | 1609 Luc -=-'
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Cody and Racheeeeeeellllllllll!!!! >>
* Rhiana takes a deep breath, "Clean mountain air..cool winds...I like it here..."
<GMStoren> You have a brisk walk up the steep path, Roric seeming to stay behind somewhere..
<Cody> Nice scenery...
<Rahne> It's quiet..  removed from the hustle of the rest of the world..  and although it's good to experience the outside world..  there is something to be said for home..
<Rhiana> «ooc: Roric has to um...Buff his Dryad some, Khyros makes him hawt »
<Rachel> ....hey...Keylia....loverboy stay behind for later?
<Rahne> Well, want to go see how far my dad's jaw drops when he sees how much company I've brought over?
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: loverboy? >>
<Roric> «ooc: loverboy? »
* Rhiana looks over the mountains, "Well, I have good news."
<Rachel> <<Roric? :o>>
<GMStoren> You start to see more details as you rise up above the plateau... a cluster of domed roofed buildings, set into a green valley welcomes you.
* Cody adjusts his backpack a little, looking quietly at Mandala and it's scenery...
<GMStoren> Up on the hill in the distance is the shrine where technology and the preciosu few roking Veedios kept.
<Rhiana> It will be impossible for any infantry to scale these mountains...
<GMStoren> « er working »
* Rachel shakes her head and looks at Mandala...
<Rhiana> So the only two places we have to worry about "visitors" would be from the air..which we can spot coming..or magic..which I can spot coming.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Guys.. just letting you know.. Roric's going to meet us a bit later at joch's place.
<Rachel> That answer's that question, then..
<Rahne> I'm sorry if Mandala's not what you expected, Miss Rachel..  It's certainly no Wendel or Pandora..
<Rhiana> So whoever suggested this place, did a good job..we should be safe here.
<Cody> It sort of reminds me of Kippo...
* Cody looks down at his feet.
<Rachel> ....Pandora?
<Cody> . o O ( I'm angsting again. I suck. )
<Rachel> Ha. Thank god. 
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel should have punched Rahne. »
<GMStoren> A man stands at the entrance to town, waving to you. You notice his forehead is rather large, and head pointed... ^^
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Rahne smiles at Cody.. * Hey.. my Home is your Home. It's that small village creed. ^^ No stranger is a stranger here.
* Rhiana looks back at the others, "Let's pick up the pace folks. My stomach doesn't fill itself up."
<GMStoren> [Mandalan Scholar] Greetings travelers... welcome to the city of knowledge.
* Rachel drops back beside Keylia and eyes the weird pointy headed freak.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Yeesh.. I think he's been hittin' the books TOO hard...
<Cody> Heh! Well...if we ever DO go back to Kippo...you guys can stay at my place anytime.
<Chrys> Ummm... o_O
* Niki starts to laugh.
* Rahne curtsies. * Good afternoon, Quartermaster Olan. ^^
<Chrys> .oO(His head looks like a dildo. That scares me.)

<Chrys> «ooc: I'll admit the "huge forehead" part, though »
<Cody> «ooc: He just has nifty spells! »
<Rahne> You bet we have to go back, Cody..  I still haven't actually met your parents. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Who's Olan? »
<Rachel> << ;) >>
<Cody> I don't know if we can...but I'd like to...
<Chrys> «ooc: Roric: FFT character. »
<GMStoren> [Olan] Oh, if it isn't Rahne! Coming home to visit your folks or catch up on your studies?
* Chrys whispers something to Cody.
* Cody blinks.
<Rahne> In to see my parents, if only for a short while.
* Cody sweatdrops and elbows Chrys somewhat playfully, "Chrys...! ^^;"
<Chrys> What? It's true...
* Rachel mutters.. "I'm just here for the ale and the rooms..."
<GMStoren> [Olan] I heard you were doing well over at the water Shrine with Great Sage Luka... and it seems to be true. Come on into town.. we've all missed you.
* Cody whispers something to Chrys.
<GMStoren> [Olan] And introduce us to your companions, too..
* Chrys blinks as he hears what Rachel says, but doesn't have time to comment before Cody gives him a speech.
<Rachel> <<lol :o>>
* Chrys whispers back.
<Rhiana> You know Chrys, I've been meaning to tell you...you should be more quiet on who you...talk about being a sellout...you really don't know or understand my situation...so it's unwise if you to make such statements.
* Rahne nods and complies with the wishes of the scholar. * C'mon, guys.. ^^;
* Cody listens! :o
<Rachel> Nice digs, Rahne...
* Cody continues his secret conversation.
<Roric> «ooc: COdy is csexing in a message window. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: Unf unf unf unf »
* Chrys blinks and turns his head briefly. "Yeah, I guess so, Rhi. I should stop secondguessing people..."
* Chrys returns to his conversation.
<Rachel> <<Oh Cody! Give me your hot purple love rocket! >>
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. That was a good response too. »
<Rahne> "Digs", Miss Rachel? ^^;
<Rachel> Town. Home.
<Rachel> And stop calling me Miss.
<Cody> . o O ( Home... )
* Rahne 's ears lower a bit.. * Sorry..
<Cody> «ooc: Kick her butt! Kick her butt!...I mean! Poor Rachel! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Home... well, it's home for now, at elast. ;)
<Rhiana> Maybe I'll move here...assuming I'm still alive when this is all said and done.
<Rachel> Don't be like that....I just thought we'd gotten past the whole Miss thing..
* Rachel glances at Keylia and then back at Rahne...
<GMStoren> You enter the town, following a brick path. You ntoice the gardens are well kepy, and a fountain's bubbling in the town square, near a statue of the Mana Goddess.

* Rahne waves back, though she feels uncomfortable doing so.. her tail's not wagging. * ^^
* Chrys glares at Cody as he finishes his comment.
* Rachel rubs the now red scar on her neck, wondering where the nearest Inn is..
* Niki just follows along.
* Cody says one final coment to Chrys.
<GMStoren> There's a few buildings.. pretty obvious where the town Inn, general store, and a circle of dwelligns are. Then the path elads farther up to the conservatory on the hill.
<Rhiana> That must be male boding.
<Rhiana> «ooc: bonding »
<Rachel> ...I'm just gonna go to the Inn....you guys should go and do what you're gonna do....
<GMStoren> Rahne spies a short, blonde haired woman in a sundress haggling with a emrchant...
<Chrys> ...There's a reason for everything, Cody... And don't assume it's your fault, dipwad.
<Cody> ...
<Cody> Just leave me alone.
* Rahne lets out a short gasp! * Mom!
<GMStoren> [Woman] But you said 30 Luc... how do you make a business that way?
* Chrys walks off towards the store. "Fine."
<Chrys> «ooc: Er, Store = merchant. »
* Rachel pauses and looks at Chrys and then at Cody, concern blurring the fear... "...?"
* Rahne darts towards her mother! * Mom!
<GMStoren> The woman turns her head, eeys lighting up. "Oh Rahne.. your'e home!"
<Cody> ...
<GMStoren> The two embrace, Rahne's mother dropping her shopping bag. ^^
* Cody watches the reuinion quietly.
<Roric> «ooc: Holy SHIT. I have to play Devil May Cry. »
* Rhiana looks to see if Rahne's Mom has fox ears and a tail
* Rahne hugs her mom.. * I'm sorry about the short notice.. how've you been?
<GMStoren> [Mother] I was worried sick when I didn't get a letter from you this month...
* Rachel decides to wait to head to the Inn and wonders what happened between Chrys and Cody..
<Rhiana> «ooc: <Rahne> Sorry Mom, I was busy having hawt sex :D »
<Cody> «ooc: *wags her tail* »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: nooooooooooo! >>
<GMStoren> You do notice Rahne's mom definitely has no tail nor ears.. perfectly human.
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: >_< >>
<Chrys> «ooc: HER FATHER IS A ROTTWIELER »
* Rahne 's tail is swishing happily. * I've been on the road a bit.. that's actually why I'm here. ^^ I hope you're up to having some company tonight. ^^;
* Rhiana ponders, "Is her Dad a fox or somethin'?"
<Rachel> . o O (...I am so not staying with the Brady Bunch family tonight.)
<GMStoren> [Mother] Oh, I was just shopping.. but ti seems I'll have to get extra portions... *points behind Rahne*
<Rahne> Sorry. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Wow, nice Faris fanart on GIA. »
<GMStoren> Keylia waves lazily.
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh! Fanart updated? »
* Rhiana waves her hands, "I can eat out, Miss. I would hate to set you back."
* Chrys looks towards Rachel's retreating self and slowly follows her, trying not to look conspicuous. ^^;
* Cody brushes his now short hair out of his eyes, looking lost.
<Rachel> <<I'm not gone yet, you dork ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Er. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Nuke that then. »
<Rachel> <<Sorry. :o >>
<Cody> «ooc: :D »
<Rachel> ...be sure to get triple portions...Keylia the Void can eat like an army...
<GMStoren> [Mother] Why don't you introduce me, honey?
* Rachel offers a faint smile. ^^;
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: lol >>
<Cody> «ooc: Mother: Yes! YOu ungrateful cur! Introduce me to your little bratty friends! »
<Rhiana> The void? 
<Roric> «ooc: She's called Keylia the Void? »
* Rhiana shifts her eyes to Rachel
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey... maybe half an army.. ;)
<Rhiana> Oh, she's talking abotu Keylia, hah.
* Cody eh heh hehs, trying to look somewhat pleasant.
* Rachel sticks close to Keylia. ^^
* Chrys quietly starts to walk towards the inn, making it clear that he's "not with them".
* Rahne steps aside, to introduce her companions.. * Mom.. this is Keylia, Rachel, Niki, Rhiana, Chrys, Tori and Cody. ^^ Cody, Tori, Chrys, Rhiana, Niki, Rachel and Keylia, this is Mom. ^^
<Rachel> <<Chrys isn't there ;)>>
* Rahne takes a deep breath, letting the color seep back into her face.. *
<Roric> «ooc: HOLY LIVING SHIT LAGUNA IS HOT IN THIS PIC »
* Chrys << just left. Sorry, Rahne. >>
* Cody waves polietely to Mrs. Ward, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ma'am."
<Rahne> Er..  hmm..
* Rhiana smiles, "Rhiana Athena. I'm a singer."
* Rahne looks around.. * Rather.. Chrys appears to have vanished. :/
* Rachel waves a little. "Rachel......Rachel Brodeur."
<Rhiana> «ooc: The Valk. Profile one is really good artwork »
<Roric> «ooc: I mean, SHIT. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Keylia.. ;)
<Roric> «ooc: From last week, or this? »
<GMStoren> Her mother smiles. "Please call me, Diana."
* Tori tips his cap "hello, ma'am."
<Rhiana> «ooc: This week »
* Rachel blinks and looks a bit disturbed at using her true last name but decides it's pointless to hide it now. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Diana] It's nice to see rahne has made some friends while she's been abroad.. she's terribly shy you know.
<Rhiana> «ooc: On the 3rd page »
<Roric> «ooc: Ahh. VP art is good in general. »
<Rhiana> Indeed she is...but a very polite girl.
<Rhiana> She was certainly brought up the right way
<Cody> ^^ I'm glad I met her...She's very nice.
<Rachel> <<Rachel: Nice rack. Cody: RACHEL! O_O>>
<GMStoren> Diana looks at Cody. "And this is Cody? Such a handsome young man..."
* Rahne looks down, a bit flushed.. *
* Cody blinks and blushes, wondering how Rahne's mom knew about him. ^^;;
<Rhiana> «ooc: THe Seifer on the Halloween picture there didn't look as good as my costume does :P »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh yeah, these rule. Goddamn I love VP. »
<Rahne> << I pointed and introduced you. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> [Diana] Well, I can't leave you out here with this stealing merchant.. *picks up her bag* ..so why don't you come in and meet my husband and we can sit down for some tea..
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah, but she went, "Oh, and this is CODY. ^^" »
<Rachel> ...uhm...I'm gonna have to pass...
<Rachel> It was nice meeting you, Mrs. Ward...
<Rahne> ..Are you sure, ..Rachel?
* Cody looks back to Rachel, a flash of pain going through his eyes, but he quietly lets Rachel do what she pleases.
<GMStoren> [Diana] Are you sure? I'll save a palce for you...
<GMStoren> « er place »
<Roric> «ooc: Damn, that Arngrim pic is nice. Someone needs to do a VP RPG. »
<Rhiana> Rachel isn't feeling too well, it might be best for her.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Was refering to the other one, Gayo. :) »
<Rachel> I'm sure...thanks....I don't feel like eating... I'll see you all later...
<GMStoren> « I want to.. ^^ »
* Rahne looks disappointed. * Well.. if you have a change of heart.. it's just that house over there..
<Cody> «ooc: Gods, I WANT to :p »
<Cody> «ooc: And a grandia RPG too. »
<Cody> «ooc: Bleh bleh bleh :p »
* Rachel nods again and heads for the Inn...
<Rhiana> Well if Rachel isn't gonna eat..I'll eat for her
* Rahne points to a respectable looking home for Rachel's benefit.. *
<Rhiana> ..and myself
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<Cody> . o O ( What should I do...? Oh goddess... )
<Roric> «ooc: Not Lucca, because I can't be in it if she does it. And if Storen did it he'd have to keep his silliness in check, since VP is incredibly dismal and tragic and nihilistic. ^_^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Roric: You could be in it, because it's not CTRPG2! ^^ »
<GMStoren> Keylia looks at Rachel a minute, and pats Rahne on the shoulder. "I'll be with her... she needs cheering up." ;)
<Cody> «ooc: But oh well ^_^ »
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Rachel> <<My. :o>>
<Roric> «ooc: Lucca: Eh. I dunno if I can trust you. ^_~ »
<Rahne> Okay, Miss Keylia..
<GMStoren> Keylia follows to the Inn, elaving the rest with Rahne's mom.
<Chrys> «ooc: I could GM a VPRPG, or I could co-GM with Dek or something O_o »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ You can talk to me after the game. »
<Chrys> «ooc: I'm nihilistic »
<Roric> «ooc: Roric told Keylia to "stay" with Rachel. »
<Cody> ...
<GMStoren> « Yep. :) »
<Rachel> <<Oh jeez. ;)>>
<Cody> Goodbye...
<Roric> «ooc: Ash, you need to keep your silliness in check too. »
<Roric> «ooc: ^_~ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Only that last session! »
<Cody> «ooc: Honestly, I'd like to do a VP game, but I do agree with Roric that I'm too cute to do one :p »
* Rhiana blinks, "Can I have Cody's food too?"
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Roric> «ooc: Nah, you have a tendency to give in to your random goofy urges occasionally. ^^ Remember the Lanna/pants scene? »
<GMStoren> [Diana] Well, if that's settled, then come along everyone... I'll show you some of our fine mountain hospitality.
<Cody> Huh? ^^;
<Rhiana> Oh you're not going with Rachel?
<Chrys> «ooc: Oh, yeah. That. »
<Cody> ...I want to...but she doesn't want to see me right now.
<Roric> «ooc: Mwahahaha. I will never let you forget the pants scene »
<Rachel> <<Bleh. ^^>>
<Cody> I...
<Rhiana> Cody, can I tell you one thing that wins girls over.
<Rachel> <<LOL! Augh!>>
<Cody> ...Sure I guess.
<Rhiana> Persistance.
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rhiana> Do them. »
<Roric> «ooc: <Rhiana> Stalking. »
<Rachel> <<Buy them flowers and quote sexy dirty haikus at them!>>
<GMStoren> Diana looks at Rahne quizically, then whispers in her ear...
<Cody> But she...She doesn't want to see me...I'll be just as bad as Kurik if I go bother her now...
<Rhiana> «ooc: a 21 inch goober :o »
<Cody> «ooc: Diana: That Cody boy is a space Cadet! Hmm hmm! »
<Rachel> <<You'd only be as bad as Kurik if you drag a dull knife over her back repeatedly. ^_^>>
<Rachel> <<BRB ;)>>
<Roric> «ooc: I seriously want to see Cody approach Rachel and get his ass kicked and make things worse. »
<Rhiana> Well,  you should do what you feel is right in your heart.  Not your head.
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel: Wow, I REALLY like Kuril. »
<Roric> «ooc: ...Kurik »
* Rahne flushes at her mother's words. * Ack.. mother... ^^;
<Cody> ...Maybe in a bit.
* Rhiana points her heart and head, "These two are always conficting with each other."
<Cody> I'll let her talk to Keylia for a while.
<Roric> «ooc: Can Kurik be a party member? :D »
<Rhiana> But when dealing with girls you think with your heart.
<Cody> ...Thanks Rhiana...But I don't think now is the time...I'll check up on her later tonight.
<Roric> «ooc: We need to have a datesim session where Rahne and Rachel ask cody questions and he has to choose from a list of answers. »
<GMStoren> Diana, smiles, and pat Rahne's ear. "Bring your friends to the house whenever, sweetie.. I'll rpepare things. And wake your father.. he fell asleep reading again."
<GMStoren> Rahne's mom shuffles off down the path.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Okay, so on the Tifa/Aerith Checklist, who's in the lead, Rachel or Rahne? »
<Cody> «ooc: See how many kisses he gets! He can get new armor and spells! »
* Rahne flicks her ears a bit.. * ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Blah! I'm not answering that! ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: lol! »
<Cody> «ooc: Because It's Roric! He's winning! »
<GMStoren> « Ok wrapping up for now... :) »
<Chrys> «ooc: <Cody> Barret, er, I mean Tori! »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. »
<Rhiana> So Mrs. Ward....Rahne says you make the best food in town
<Cody> «ooc: She left :o »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: We ending soon? >>
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: ^_^? >>
<Rhiana> Well poot.
<Cody> «ooc: Yiiis. »
<GMStoren> She waves from down the path. "Yes, I do! Hurry or it'll get cold!"
<Cody> ...
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: kay ^_^ >>
* Cody looks back to the inn again.
<Roric> «ooc: Is Rahne's mother a pervert? Because I can't help but picture her that way. »
<Chrys> «ooc: POOT? O_o Oogh, that's awfully kawaii for Rhiana O_o »
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: brb >>
<Rachel> <<Love me! Love me like a panda!>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rhiana doesn't cuss :P »
<GMStoren> « Well.. she did whisper something about Cody ^-- »
* Tori stands, hands in pockets, cap over his eye,s looking distant and preocupied.
<Chrys> «ooc: I think it's Rahne's fox ears/tail that make you picture that, Roric. :O »
<Roric> «ooc: Well, yeah, what's THAT all about? »
<Roric> «ooc: Eh? Eh? »
<Rahne> Well..  shall we go see what's on the menu?
<Rhiana> «ooc: Obviously, Diana Ward in into poking farm animals. »
<GMStoren> « Nah. She just thinsk Cody is Rahne's boyfriend. ^_^ »
* Cody nods, "I suppose, Rahne."
<Rhiana> Let's go eat!  I'm starving!
<Cody> Thanks for your hopsitality. ^^ I was hoping I could serve dinner...but....
* Cody sighs.
<Chrys> «ooc: Erhm, Rhiana, wouldn't the farm animals be poking -her-? »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Hey, it's the new millenium »
* Rahne takes up his hand. * You'll get your turn.. I promise. I won't let you get off so easily. ^^
<Chrys> «ooc: lol »
<GMStoren> « I shoudl do a whole rolling side session they way things are settling :P »
<Roric> «ooc: *snickers* »
* Cody laughs. ^^ "I hope so. Let's go eat."
<Roric> «ooc: "rolling side session"? »
<Rhiana> Good idea!  Food!
<ChrisWizard> <<ooc: Gotta go ^_^ >>
<GMStoren> « Night Chris... ^^ »
<Rhiana> Hear that?  My stomach is mad at me.
<Cody> Remember I can help out if you need it, Rahne. ^^
* Rahne 's tail swishes contentedly as she leads the others into her home. * ^^
<Cody> «ooc: My stomach beat me up as a child...that's why I'm so messed up. ;_; »
*** ChrisWizard (Cwizard59@172.168.111.82) Quit (Quit: )
<GMStoren> « any closing comments ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: I would love it beyond words if Rahne conspired to drive Rachel to suicide now. Seriously. That would be the coolest thing ever in anty IRC RPG. »
<Rachel> <<...it almost seems like it. ;)>>
<Roric> «ooc: No, I'm totally serious. That would rule. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: You are very distrubed Gayo »
<Cody> . o O ( ...Dinner here...then I'll go see if she's okay...Gotta think with my heart...even if she kicks me out...I just have to see if she's okay... )
<GMStoren> « Umm yeah. :O »
<Rachel> <<It's like 'BWAHAHA! Rachel is mentally unstable and Cody is left alone! IT'S MY TIME!">>
<Cody> . o O ( ...Gods Chrys is right. I suck. )
<Rahne> Mom's a pretty independent cook..  I wouldn't set foot in the kitchen while she's making stuff unless you want a rolling pin bapping you on the head. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: I just like tragic unhappy endings, E. ^_~ »
<Rhiana> I hope your mom makes enough...
<Rhiana> Otherwise Keyla and I might get into a fight
<Roric> «ooc: I was thinking more malicious than that, Rachel...^_~ »
<Rahne> And then we'll have to smuggle you out for a bit before she cons you into helping with the dishes. ^^;
* Cody blinks at Rahne and laughs a little, "She won't even let me set the table?"
<Rahne> I wouldn't inflict dish washing on my worst enemy..
<Cody> I don't mind doing hte dishes! I did it all the time back home.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rahne gets Dishpan Hands. »
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm. Dishpan ears... »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Ugh..I suddenly don't want to eat her food. »
<Rahne> You're a guest though.. you shouldn't have to set the table or do dishes. ^^;
<Rhiana> «ooc: "What's the matter dear?" "Dunno..this last bite tasted kinda..waxy." »
* Cody shakes his head, "I don't mind. I don't want to seem ungrateful."
* Rahne brushes that aside. * You won't be.. of that I'm sure. ^^
<Cody> Well...just ask if you need help. ^^;
<Rhiana> . o O (I think we all need help...)
<GMStoren> And so the group heads off to the small cottage in the mountains that Rahne's family calls home, while others seek a more public place of refuge... but just where is home, a place of safety, in the end?
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION END ~~
<Rhiana> Bed.  Me.  Now.
<Cody> Night Rhi!
*** Rhiana is now known as Enygma
<Chrys> No thanks, I only bed women.
