<GMStoren> ~~ INTERLUDE START ~~
<Cody> «ooc: Turns on FF9 Piano = Bran Bal ^^ »
<Rachel> <<* turns on her theme for this sess... Fragma - I Need A Miracle>>
<Rachel> <<Err... Luks...that'll lag me ^^;;>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Turns on Lufia 2 - The Sorrow of Parting »
<Cody> «ooc: Aww. ^^ I can shut it off and send it later :) »
<GMStoren> We last left things as Rahne's folks had a cheerful homecoming meal with Cody and some of the group, while Keylia departed to check on the condition of Rachel after her ordeal.. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: We start with Rachel, then? :) »
<Rachel> <<shh. Let's wait and see :o>>
<GMStoren> « I'd like to do that part in here if possible :) »
<GMStoren> Keylia walks into the quaint inn, right up to the counterperson, a middle aged man.
<Cody> «ooc: That's fine :D »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, you the innkeeper here? You see a dark haired, vaguely pissy girl on the premises? ;)
<GMStoren> [Innkeeper] That sounds a lot like this woman who just came in. She's in room 6.. said something about paying extra Luc above for "damages and to ignore things".
<GMStoren> Keylia, assured that's who she's looking for, tromps up the steps to the second level only to hear a loud commotion from the mentioned room. :o
<Rachel> <<Storen's hands catch aflame from making an NPC talk to an NPC ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Damn, don't tell me she's tearing up the place in a fit or something..
<Cody> «ooc: no! Thta's how She and Chrys play chess! »
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o »
<Chrys> «ooc: Oh MY »
<Rachel> <<With violent bodychecking!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah! »
<Chrys> «ooc: That's not Chess, that's Hockey! »
<GMStoren> Opening the door to room 6, Keylia find various chairs and small furniture broken by clean sword slashes, and an entire dresser oevrturned with the Mana sword sticking out of the back of it in some wierd triumph...
<Rachel> <<hee. ;)>>
* Rachel is clad in the jeans Cody loaned to her and her bra, standing beside the bed and rummaging through her pack, dumping things on the bed...looking for something.
<Cody> «ooc: Thou had conquored the Dresser! Thou hast earned 99 EXP! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Rache/Key: How long is this part going to be? I need to run out to the store and get some bread...shouldn't take more than a half hour...that okay? »
<GMStoren> « do it. »
<GMStoren> « now. »
<GMStoren> « ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: OR DIE! »
<Rachel> <<lol.. ;) O_o lol>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Doing it. ;) »
*** Chrys is now known as Chrys-Outside
<GMStoren> [Keylia] When you say damages, you mean damages alright...
* Rachel jumps a little and glances over her shoulder, a quick grin flitting on her lips. "Oh. Hey."
<GMStoren> Keylia makes her way over to Rachel, noticing the scars on her back..
* Rachel sifts through the mess of her belongings on the bed... "Mm...babysitting?"
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You could say that... what is up with you? You going to sneak away for some time to think about things?
* Rachel blinks and picks up the Flammie drum and a tunic...she turns to eye Keylia, an odd flame of what seems like desperation in her eyes.. "Kind of....gonna try and stop me?"
<GMStoren> [Keylia] *blinks* Me, stop you? Why would I do that? I'm asking because you KNOW how I hate to miss the fun stuff.. ;)
* Rachel relaxes a bit and grins in amusement now. "Oh really? Does that mean this is a flight for two? Just me and you? Like old times?"
<GMStoren> Keylia grins. "If you're not booked, hun. I hope the in-flight movies is as good as the company.." ;)
<GMStoren> « er -s »
<Rachel> ...mmph! You're just saying that because I have no shirt on. Sorry but I'm gonna have to put one on....I'd freeze to death up there. ^^;
* Rachel twirls the drum in her hand and sticks in her pocket, unfolding the tunic and tugging it on, her hair foofing up ^^;
<GMStoren> Keylia puts a hand on her hip. "Seriously, I think this is just the thing to help you unwind... if you wanna talk I'm all ears.." She flicks them for effect. ^_-
<Rachel> Hey, you already know everything there is to know... I'd think that this.. *touches her fingers to the angry looking little cut on her bottom lip*...was blunt enough.. ^^;
<Rachel> <<...just for the record, I almost typoed 'cut' as 'cunt' ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Blunt, but not exactly the best way to explain things.... we'll deal with that bugger soon enough, eh?
<Rachel> I'd rather just run really fast in the opposite direction, if that's alright.. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Well, where you running to now? I can see you've got a plan in that little head of yours.
* Rachel taps her forehead a bit, arching an eyebrow. "Kippo."
<GMStoren> Keylia takes Rachel's arm. "I get it now... why don't we leave before Cody come looking for you then." ;)
<GMStoren> « er comes »
* Rachel blinks and tenses a little before relaxing at the touch. "Alright....we'll have to head out the back. There's a clearing there, lesser known..."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Works for me... lead on, partner.
<GMStoren> The two mercenaries hurry downstairs, leaving the room in it's disheleved mess and hurry out a back door. ^^
<GMStoren> « we should wait for Chrys for this next portion. »
<Cody> «ooc: noddle. ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Let's all have tea and biccy's, then!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Orders Brownies for Storen... »
<Rachel> <<Tea and biccy's, baby!>>
<GMStoren> « Yay ^_^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Tries to think of a sexy gift card saying... »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Rachel> <<*eyes what Keylia's reply was about the babysitting comment and sits back, thinking deeply.*>>
<GMStoren> « That right? ;) »
<Rachel> <<Mmm? ^^;>>
*** Chrys-Outside is now known as Chrys
<Chrys> «ooc: I'm BAAAACK »
<Rachel> <<Yay!>>
<GMStoren> « yaya »
<Cody> «ooc: Giggles at her gift card »
<Cody> «ooc: Thanks, Heather! »
<Rachel> <<NP ;)>>
<GMStoren> Meanwhile, Cody has finished his meal with Rahne's folks and stepped outside for some air.. his thoughts turning to Rachel at the Inn. ^^
* Cody walks a bit aimlessly at first, before finally setting sights on the inn and walking towards it with purpose...
<GMStoren> It's not too crowded at this time of day, and considering not many travellers pass through here. Outside stands a familiar purple haired figure. ^_-
* Cody looks up and nods, "Hey Chrys..."
<Rachel> <<It's Rahne! She's gone punk!>>
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Radien> << hehe >>
* Chrys is leaning against a wall, staring at something in his hand. He blinks as he hears Cody's voice and shoves that something into a hidden pocket of his jacket. "Oh, hey."
<Cody> ...Are you going to see her too?
<Chrys> ...Not right now, I'm not...She'd probably tear me limb from limb. I think it's best to just leave her alone until we get out of Mandala...
<Rachel> <<yes now! You have to! Screw you! ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: ehhh? »
<Cody> ...Yeah...I'm just worried about her...
* Chrys rolls his eyes. "Well, gee. I'd never be able to understand that.
<Chrys> "
* Cody flinches away a bit.
<Cody> Sorry...I just...it's...
<Chrys> Relax, Cod'... I'm not gonna bite. Geez, you'd think I beat you up regularly.
<Cody> ...It's okay...I...I just don't know what to do...
* Chrys sighs. "I don't know either. Hell, at least you have something to fall back on... if Rachel won't talk to you any more, you have Rahne as a shoulder to cry on... I don't really have anyone here."
[Chrys:#Pureland PING]
<Rachel> <<But Rahne's shoulder has fleas! ;_;>>
<Cody> You always have someone to talk to...why does everyone assume that you have to be in a realtionship in order to not be lonely? I'm happy just having friends. 
<Cody> ...and now a friend is hurting and I let her down.
<Chrys> I'm not assuming that... but come on...think about it. Rhiana thinks I'm an asshole, Tori wants to kill me, Rahne's afraid of me..
* Chrys looks at Cody. "Geez, kid...You didn't let her down..."
<Chrys> There's nothing anyone could have done then. It struck us all by surprise..we didn't have time to prepare.
<Cody> No...She warned me.
<Chrys> Huhn? O_o
<Cody> Well, she didn't tell me exactly, but she said she had an idea what Khryos was gonna do...And I promised I'd protect her from it. I failed her...
<Rachel> <<Yep. she knew. Bwhahaha. Go Rachel. YOU SUCK! ;)>>
<Chrys> No, you didn't. You protected her the best you could...If you weren't there, she'd probably be there. With him.
<Chrys> So ask yourself...which did you protect her from? The pain she's feeling now, or the pain she would have felt the rest of her life?
<Cody> She didn't get on Flammie because of me. She didn't even look at me. She flinched away.
<Cody> She went on Flammie by her own will.
<Chrys> Listen...I think she's...well...
<Cody> «ooc: A lesbian! »
<Rachel> <<Gay!>>
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Cody> «ooc: GMTA? ^^ »
<Rachel> <<LOL ^^>>
<GMStoren> « lol.. you ebta me to it. »
<GMStoren> « er beat »
<Cody> «ooc: Three way GMTA :O »
<Chrys> ...She's afraid of basically everyone at the moment. I think she flinched away from you because she was scared, more than anything...not because she hates you...
<Rachel> <<she even tensed against Keylia. ^^>>
<GMStoren> « Scared Rachel ;_; »
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys didn't notice that. He was trying to boost morale ^^; »
<Rachel> <<Very :o>>
<Cody> But I'd never hurt her...
<Chrys> ....
* Cody shakes his head, "I...just hope she remembers that..."
<Chrys> ...She probably does, now...people react differently under different situations.
* Chrys looks at Cody. "You know... She said she'd protect you, too..right?
<Chrys> "
<Cody> I know.

*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Gayo
<Chrys> Right, she did. ^_^ Now, when you got kidnapped in Wendel... do you think she didn't protect you?
<Gayo> «ooc: Oops. Lude. »
<Cody> ...
<Chrys> Do you think she failed?
<Radien> << Like walking in on someone while they're dressing, eh Gayo? >>
<Cody> «ooc: Eek! Stop looking at my BREASTS! ;_; »
*** Gayo (foon@ip142166211064.nbtel.net) has left #pureland
<Cody> «ooc: Yaeah! You run, bitch! hahah! »
<Chrys> ...She got you back, didn't she...? That's just what you need to do. You need to get Rachel back from that...that...past of hers.
<GMStoren> Inside you ehar a man, likely the innkeeper grumbling over something. "What could that woman be doing up there.."
<Cody> I plan to.
<Chrys> If you just give up now, then you WILL have failed, Cody...
<Radien> << hehe. >>
<Rachel> <<LOL.. ^^>>
* Cody rummages through his backpack and pulls something out...
<Amy> <<Kentucky Fried Ewok.>>
* Chrys nods. "That's the spirit. Now...we might want to stay out of the inn for a while, Rachel's probably destroying furniture and eating children or something. ^^;
<Rachel> <<GO IN THE FUCKING INN! ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: I WILL. »
<Cody> «ooc: GOD DAMN YOU ^(^*)_$*&)%&)%& »
<Rachel> <<Not you! Chrys too!>>
<Radien> << mmmm.... Fried Ewok.... >>
<Cody> I was going to leave this at the counter...
<Chrys> Hm?
<GMStoren> « let em RP.. ^^; »
<Rachel> <<Pfft. ;) Sorry. Too much caffiene. :o *hides*>>
* Cody holds a small boquet of flowers. ^^; "This may be too much...but I just wanted her to know I was..well...That I support her..."
* Chrys sweatdrops.
<Chrys> .oO(God, if there's anything quite as bad as penis envy...)
<Radien> << <Chrys> Hmmm... I think I'll relax awhile here... maybe pick some daisies... eat an apple... <Cody> «ooc: *SPASMS* » >>
<Cody> ...What? 
<Chrys> Well...you could probably leave it outside her door, couldn't you? Innkeepers tend to be a tad...nosy.
<Cody> That's what I was planning to do ^^;
<Chrys> That works...
<Cody> Then we'd better go, huh? ^^

<Cody> «ooc: DNW the spoot! :D »
<DNW> <<^_^>>
* Cody starts to head for the inn. ^^
<Chrys> Yeah. Lord knows I need to follow you if for no other reason than to make sure she doesn't like make julliene fries out of you.. ^^;
* Chrys follows after.
<Cody> ...She wouldn't, would she?
<Chrys> Not sure.
* Cody gulps, but goes towards the inn regardless.
<Cody> «ooc: Storen? You there? »
<GMStoren> « ack sorry ^^ »
<GMStoren> As you enter the inn you find the innkeeper grumbling about broken furniture.
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ »
<Cody> Excuse me, Sir?
<GMStoren> [Innkeeper] Mercenaries these days... yes, can I help you?
* Chrys sweatdrops. "Have you seen a very...angry woman?" ^^;
<GMStoren> [Innkeeper] She's up in room 6. If you're going, tell her 100 extra isn't covering that if she wrecks the place.. :o
<Cody> ...You mean...?
<Cody> She left?
* Cody blink-blinks.
<GMStoren> [Innkeeper] I didn't see her come by here.
* Chrys sighs and drags Cody up the stairs.
<Chrys> Thanks, sir...
* Cody gacks and is dragged, "Hey! I can walk too, you know!"
*** Amy (arianadrea@aunfred.resnet.willamette.edu) has left #Pureland
<Chrys> Okay, so you can walk. Try THINKING once in a while.
<Cody> I do think!
* Cody shakes himself lose from Chrys' grip and walks down the hall. ^^;
<Chrys> "She left"...yeesh. He said she was UP in the room, and you asked if she LEFT. 9_9
<Rachel> <<lol. ^^;>>
<GMStoren> You head up the stairs and find the door to room 6 ajar. Inside the place is disheleved, chairs slashed in two, the bed rumpled, and a dresser knocked over with the Mana sword in it's back.
* Cody wideyes, "Um...you were saying!? O_o"
* Chrys blinks. "Fun... See what I mean about the julliene fries, Cody?"
<GMStoren> There's a small ring left out, like a wedding band...
<Chrys> «ooc: Is there any holes in the wall or ceiling big enough for a dragon to get through? ;P »
* Cody runs into the room, looking around for clues and such.
<GMStoren> All the party's stuff is gone, though, most noticably the Flammie Drum.
<Chrys> «ooc: Or, for that matter, any windows open? »
<GMStoren> « nope.. »
<Cody> ...She took off...!
<Chrys> «ooc: HOW THE HELL DID SHE LEAVE? O_o »
<Chrys> ...Makes sense.
<Rachel> <<I'm magic :D>>
<DNW> <<You;re a monkey! :D>>
<GMStoren> Your hear the sound of a sonic boom drawing closer. Uh oh. :o
* Chrys blinks. "Ohhh...boy. This is going to be fun... I think I'll leave you and the room alone, Cody..." ^^;
* Chrys slowly backs out of the room...
<Rachel> <<LOL O_o>>
* Cody is sort of in a state of shock and blinks at the Mana Sword, but begins to back up too ^^;
<GMStoren> From a window, you spy Rachel and Keylia in an open field nearby, Flammie swooping out of the nearby sky.
<GMStoren> « er nuke secdon nearby »
<DNW> <<Nearby sky? How many do you got?>>
* Chrys blinks at the Flammie in the window.
<Cody> «ooc: Is she close enough so Cody could call and she could hear her? »
<GMStoren> « Youc an try. »
* Chrys walks to the window. (q) "Keylia...?"
* Cody doesn't say anything, but he tears out of the room, apparently in pursuit. ^^;
<Chrys> .oO(Great, they're riding off on their white stallion to live happily ever after. I should have known Rachel was a lesbian.)
<GMStoren> Keylia and Rachel scramble onto the back of the big critter, as Cody runs outside.
<Rachel> <<*dies*>>
<GMStoren> « LOl! »
* Cody pants, falling to his knees, "R...Rachel! Keylia?!"
* Chrys just stands in the room, watching.
<Cody> . o O ( Ow. My knees. Ow. )
<Rachel> <<LOL O_o>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, sorry to run off Cody.. but we'll be RIGHT back! ;)
* Rachel glances at Cody, a faint grin on her lips.
<Cody> But...But where are you...? What's going on?
* Rachel kicks Flammie into gear!
<GMStoren> Flammie lifts up into the air with a roar! :o
<Chrys> .oO(La la la, me is chopped liver, la la la... "Brr...did it get suddenly retarded in here?" Shut up.)
* Cody stares up at the receeding dragon, completely befuddled.
<Rachel> <<LOL O_o that is the best saying ever. ^^>>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL ^^ »
<GMStoren> Soon Cody is left just staring into a vast, snowy cieling of clouds.
<Cody> . o O ( Rachel...why did you...? )
* Chrys turns around and picks up the wedding ring, examining it.
<GMStoren> « going to time advance.. ^^ »
* Cody flops on his butt, still staring at the sky, his face looking saddened.
<Cody> «ooc: sad, even. Gah. »
* Chrys sits on the bed and just stares, lost in thought.
<GMStoren> Chrys notices a piece of paper near him.
<Rachel> <<Cody sits there, snow falling on him, making him a big snowman!>>
* Chrys blinks and picks it up.
<Rachel> 2>> "Dear, dad...
<Rachel> 2>> I'm not gonna say I'm sorry for running....it was probably the best thing I've ever done with my life. I'm writing you from an Inn but I won't say where, just in case you try to send Kurik after me. I just wanted to let you know that I... I love you...and I'm sorry for being so horrible of a daughter...and...that I'm alright. If you even care..."
<Rachel> 2>> The letter ends there, unfinished and unsent..
<Cody> «ooc: No snow is falling, is it? ^^; »
<GMStoren> « just a slight flurry or 2 :) »
<Chrys> ..Rache...
<Rachel> <<I added that today during English! Go me! ;)>>
* Cody curls up into a sitting position, staring up at the sky, looking horribly lost and alone. The snow begins to fall a little heavier, but he doesn't seem to notice or care.
<GMStoren> Time passes slowly... an hour almost. There's no sign of either of them, but as the clodus begin to break you hear a faint roar waft your way. ^^
<Rachel> <<O_o waft...thanks, Storey...s'my new word of the week. ^^>>
<GMStoren> « np. I like waft. :D »
* Cody blinks and looks up, "..."
* Chrys blinks at the faint roar, but then goes back to angsting.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> Flammie returns, touching down with beastly grace. You ntoice it's not just two people on her back anymore!
<Cody> «ooc: It's the WHOLE HAREM! »
<Rachel> <<We hired some whores, y'know, the usual.. ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Mother] Cody!
<Chrys> «ooc: Keylia and Rachel had KIDS! Oh god, they're like RABITES »
* Cody stands up, blinking, "Wha...Mom?!"
<GMStoren> Cody's mother and father hop off and run to hug him. ;)
<DNW> <<Rabbite> >:E>>
<GMStoren> « [Rabite] ^-^ :E »
* Rachel brushes her hair from her eyes, her breathing come out in a fog..she gives Keylia a thumbs of and looks more happier..
<Cody> ...Mom? Dad...? Wha...How...how?! O_o
<Rachel> <<up O_o>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] *returns the thumbs up*
<Cody> «ooc: Thumbs of a feather flock together, Rachel! You're all thumbs! »
<Rachel> <<lol ;) skrew yoo, insecurity boy :o >>
<Cody> «ooc: Cody: I'm small. ;_; »
<GMStoren> [Father] Your friends came back to check on us after that whole magician left... we never got to say goodbye to you..
<GMStoren> « er nuke whole. my writing sucks today o_o »
* Cody finally gets past his shocked stupor, smiling widely and hugging them back with all his might, "Oh Goddess, I'm so glad you're okay! I was so worried and..."
* Rachel strokes Flammie's thick neck, quietly eyeing Cody...she then slides off and offers Keylia a hand down. "Gonna stay on and let Flammie take you to see her kids or what, Key?" ;)
<GMStoren> [Mother] We were worried sick about you too.. you just flew off...
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Nahh.. Not my cup of tea. ^--
<Cody> I didn't mean to...He was sort of after us and...I felt so bad that I couldn't say goodbye to you...But...
<GMStoren> Keylia gets off, and Flammie nudges Rachel once before flapping her four wings and taking off.
<Cody> Is everyone else okay? Is Kippo okay?
* Rachel watches Flammie take off with a small sigh of reluctance, having enjoyed the fun flight. ;)
<GMStoren> [Mother] It's fine.. those two left soon after you did. He was the one that poisoned us, wasn't he?
* Rachel turns to eye Cody and his family, coughing softly. "...I don't mean to interrupt...but...it's cold. There's an Inn right there, y'know..!"
* Cody nods, "Yeah..."
* Cody looks at Rachel and chuckles, "^^; She's got a point. We should head inside."
<GMStoren> [Father] Girl's got a point let's head inside. I'm feeling the cold more in these bones in my later years.
* Rachel nods a little. ^^;
<GMStoren> You all merrily tromp back to the Inn. ^^
<Rachel> <<...lol ;) I love you, Storen.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Imagines all the SOM people merrily tromping in a line ^^ »
<Rachel> <<*presses select to control them individually*>>
<Cody> «ooc: Stop making cody run in circles, Rachel! You'll make him look dumb! »
<Rachel> <<:o But it's a perfect explanation for crop circles!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Then all the following characters will get stuck behind stuff and sorta run in place! »
* Rachel is quiet the whole way back, playing with the Flammie drum in her hands.. ^^
* Cody looks beyond happy. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: Meanwhile, Chrys angsts. »
<GMStoren> You come back to the room only to find the door shut tigthly.
<Rachel> <<I brought them to my room with the broken furniture! Here mom, sit on a broken chair leg! ;)>>
* Cody coughs, and glances sidelong at Rachel. ^^;
<Rachel> ....I'm pretty sure room service isn't allowed to do this sort of thing..!
* Rachel opens the door slowly and peeks in. ^^;
* Chrys is busy trying to put what remains of the dresser back together. The Mana Sword is sitting on the bed, and the broken chairs are piled in the corner. He looks over at Rachel and sweatdrops. ^^;
<Rachel> ....eh, heh. ^^;
<Cody> ^^; Hey...
* Rachel pushes the door open and wanders in. ^^;
<Cody> Mom...Dad...This is my friend Chrys. ^^ *cough*
<GMStoren> [Father] What happened in here?
* Chrys looks at Cody's father. "It appears to be something reminiscent of PMS..." ^^;
* Cody sweatdrops and facepalms in rapid succession.
* Rachel twitches but remains stoic. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Mother] Nice to meet you... Chrys... let me get that for you...
<GMStoren> Cody's mother starts playing miss homemaker and tidying the place out of habit.
<Chrys> Thanks, ma'am.. ^^;
<Rachel> ...uh.. ^^;
<Rachel> . o O (...oh god... I've brought Cleanzilla into my life...)
<Cody> Mom...You don't have to...I can do that... You were sick a few hours ago! You shouldn't overdo!
<GMStoren> [Father] Is that the Mana sword there?
* Rachel sweatdrops more. "Uh, yes it is..."
<GMStoren> Cody father takes the blade out of the dresser, and hands it to Rachel.
<Cody> «ooc: Blade first. »
* Rachel meekly takes it.. ^^;
* Chrys sighs. .oO(God, who are these people...? ...Wait, they're Cody's parents, aren't they? ...WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE? "Cleaning and visiting, dumbass.")
<GMStoren> [Father] Don't leave this lying around you know.. it's a valuable village treasure after all.
* Cody goes to helping his mother out. ^^;
* Rachel ties it onto her side like normal and tries to look as if she knows what the hell she's doing. ^^; "Yes...sir." ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Well, seems like your 'rents sure take control of things. ^_-
<Rachel> (q, to Keylia) Quick....on the count of three...you pretend to have a seizure and I have to rush you to the healers....
<Cody> ^^; Ah ha ha. Yes. They shouldn't be working like this. Mom! C'mon! ^^; You were sick! I can do that...
* Chrys sweatdrops as Cody's family takes over.
<Rachel> Uh....Chrys.... thank you...for cleaning up my stuff...
* Chrys quietly backs up, not seeing Rachel as he bumps into her. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Mother] Sorry.. I just.. I just miss taking care of you Cody..
* Rachel inhales a little and quickly steps away.
<Cody> Mom...
<GMStoren> [Father] Oh, that reminds me.. I brought some things from home for you.. you didn't even get to pack..
<Rachel> << Chrys: fun game! :D *pokes Rachel.* * Rachel slides away. * Chrys pokes Rachel again!>>
<Chrys> Erk. Uh...heheh...yeah, Rache. I figured that you'd rather not deal with the innkeeper bitching you out...he says 100 luc wouldn't cover what you did.. ^^;
<GMStoren> Cody's dad takes out a satchel and hands it to Cody. ^^
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, I'll cover the rest.. it turned out great. ;)
* Cody blinks and takes the satchel, "Hmm?"
<Cody> «ooc: Keylia: We'll call it, "Abstract Art!" »
* Rachel chuckles a little. ^^; "Yeah...Moneybags will handle it..."
<GMStoren> Opening the drawstring, you find a few trinkets and pictures from your room inside... ^^
<GMStoren> There's also food too! ^^
<Rachel> <<And a kitten!>>
<Cody> Oh wow...Thanks you two....Agh! Mom even packed some of her cookies!
<Chrys> Uhm, yeah, so... ^^; I need to talk to you later, Rache, please don't kill me, okay bye! ^^;
<GMStoren> [Mother] *^^* You always were so energetic when you ate them..
<Cody> «ooc: Mother: Because you loved the hemp we laced into them. ^^ »
* Rachel blinks a little at Chrys. ^^;; "Uhhh.....why would I...?" O_o
* Chrys nervously backs out into the hallway and out of the room. ^^;
<Cody> I really appreciate it mom...
<Rachel> . o O (..where's my pack?)

<GMStoren> [Father] I thought you could use some things to remind you we're fighting with you too Cody. *he grins encouragingly*
<Cody> I know...You know I'll write to you guys whenver I can...
* Rachel blinks more and looks at Keylia a bit in confusion before looking at Cody and his parents. O_o
<GMStoren> Keylia looks at Rachel...
<Rachel> <<....and gropes her...!>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, what's that over there on the bed?
* Rachel blinks and looks towards the bed. "Mm...?"
<GMStoren> Keylai points to Rachel's stuff, where some flowers are lying ontop of. o_O
<Rachel> ...woah.
<Cody> ...And you know I'll come back and visit you guys if I can...You don't have to worry about me...I have great friends... ^_^
* Rachel sweatdrops. "...I didn't have THOSE in my pack..." O_o
* Rachel heads to her bed and picks up the flowers.. ^^;
<Cody> 4>> There is a note on the flowers! A winner is you!
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Rachel pauses and opens the note, furrowing her brow..
<Cody> 4>> Rachel,
<Cody> «ooc: Writing. ^^ »
<Rachel> <<* Unfortunately everything after 'Rachel' has been covered in a sticky fluid... <Cody> CHRYS! O_O>>
<GMStoren> [Father] I can see... they took it out of their time to check up on us.
<Chrys> «ooc: HEYYYYYYYYyyy! O_o No! »
<Chrys> «ooc: NO FAPFAP DAMMIT »
<Cody> 4>> I don't know where our friendship stands. I want to still protect you, but I know I let you down. But I don't care about Kurik. I don't care about what you did in the past at all. All I care about is who you are now. The sweet, kindhearted woman who was there for me when I needed her most. Please, let me return the favor. If you need to talk, I'll always be here.
<Rachel> <<I sowwy. Small. No hurt. O_O>>
<Cody> 4>> Cody

* Cody continues to make small talk with his folks ^^;
* Rachel rereads the note once more and quickly slips it into her pocket, fear and sadness etching itself onto her features...
* Rachel quickly forces the emotions away and replaces the look with a moderately happy one. ^^;
<GMStoren> Keylia looks to Rachel questioningly, noticing the facial change. ^^
<GMStoren> [Keylia] From a secret admirer perhaps? ;)
<Cody> ...C'mon Mom...^^; Don't cry...you KNOW I'll be okay...I'll miss you too...
* Rachel ahems and arches an eyebrow at Keylia. "Oh right...! Ha ha ha hahahahaaaa....." ^^:
* Rachel sweatdrops and rubs her neck. ^^; She idly looks back at her stuff on the bed, frowning a little..
<Rachel> . o O (Some stuff is missing.........the....ring....and that letter...!)
* Rachel twitches.
<GMStoren> [Mother] It's just so lonely.. you're like Dyluck was..
<Cody> Mom...*shakes his head* It won't end like Dyluck though. It...it won't.
<Cody> I'll always be there. In spirit, you know. I think Dyluck is too. We just can't see him. You won't be alone...
* Rachel gently puts the flowers back on her bed and leans down, double checking her stuff rapidly..
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: ...Chrys! That jerk took all my feminine stuff! Chrys: *Makes little bobbing boats out of the tampons and giggles like a loon. »
<Rachel> <<O_O LOL>>
<Chrys> «ooc: O_O! »
<Cody> «ooc: ;) Thank you, thank you »
<Rachel> (q) .....Chrys took my stuff...he took it....rrr... 
<GMStoren> « Maybe we should switch this to Rachel Chrys then ;) »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You lose something? *looks out the door*
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ *noddle* Then can we switch to Cody/Rachel to end it? He's gotta thank her! »
<GMStoren> « K ^^ »
* Rachel looks at Keylia, eyes troubled. "...I'm short some stuff.... you wanna make sure they don't drown in tears while I go get it back..?"
* Cody goes into detail of the things that happened during his adventure so far. ^^
<Rachel> <<Cody: I was stripped naked and had symbols painted on me.. ^_^>>
<Cody> «ooc: He'd leave that part out ^^ »
<Rachel> <<I'd hope. ;) His mom would go bald.>>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Yeah.. go get him, Rache. ^_-
* Cody leaves out the part about him being stripped naked and tattooed with satanic symbols, though. ^^
<GMStoren> [Mother] Oh my.. :o
* Rachel nods, walking out and grumbling about 'fucking brigands'.. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Father] Seems like you've grown a lot...
<GMStoren> Rachel leaves the room as the recounting continues, prowling about the Inn grounds for Chrys. ;)
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Heee. »
<Chrys> «ooc: RECOUNTING? AGH CODY IS FLORIDA »
<Cody> «ooc: Hee! »
<Chrys> «ooc: He's going to turn into an orange tree »
<Cody> «ooc: brb »
<Rachel> . o O (...it's my fault for leaving it out on my bed...but damn...)
* Rachel heads down the hall, for the stairs...she keeps an eye out for a certain spikey haired boi tho...
<GMStoren> « OK, I leave it to you two for a min. :) »
* Rachel heads down the stairs, wondering where the hell he is. ;)
* Rachel perks a little and hops off the last three steps, heading past the flustered Inn keeper and out the door!
* Chrys is sitting, leaning up against the side of the inn, staring at the sky, a bit of a forlorn look on his face.
* Rachel stumbles a little and straightens herself up, crossing her arms. "...Chrys?"
<Chrys> ... *sigh*
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys: I just cannot angst enough. I lost my touch. *Angst* Ah, there we go. »
<Chrys> «ooc: SHUT UP »
<Chrys> «ooc: ;P »
<Rachel> ....what's wrong?
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ I love you, Chrys. You're so fun! »
<Chrys> ...Hm...?
* Chrys turns his head. "Oh, hi, Rache..."
<Rachel> Hi there...
* Rachel walks around to crouch in front of Chrys, eyeing him with faint fear and trepidation..
<Chrys> ...Something wrong...?
<Rachel> Uhm...you have my ring...and...my letter...right?
<Chrys> Huh?
* Chrys blinks. "Oh, sorry...I didn't realize that...I mean, I thought you didn't want them any more. Here..."
* Chrys fishes into his pocket and pulls them out, putting them into her hands.
* Rachel quickly tucks the letter into her pocket and slips the ring onto her ring finger for now...
<GMStoren> A character a month? ^^
<Rachel> << ;) Storen?>>
<Chrys> «ooc: HUHWHA »
<Rachel> <<We'll just pretend that didn't happen ;)>>
* Rachel eyes Chrys again....
* Chrys sighs. "...yes?"
<Rachel> ....what's wrong?
<Chrys> Uh...everything? ^^
<Rachel> Oh yeah? Care to sum it up into a short, audible list?
* Chrys reaches into his jacket and pulls out a small box, handing it to Rachel. "Yeah, here. This is my way of saying I'm sorry for all this."
<Rachel> << :o >>
<Chrys> «ooc: IT'S NOT A RING BOX »
* Rachel blinks a little and looks down curiously.. "W...what is it..?"
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<Chrys> Open it.
* Rachel opens it slowly.. ^^
<DNW> <<BOOM!>>
<Rachel> <<LOL ;) Mutha fuckah! If I can't getcha, no one will! :o BWAHAHA>>
<Chrys> >> Rachel opens the box and it starts to play a slow, sad, and haunting melody. She looks inside and finds a small necklace...
<Cody> «ooc: Damn you! ;) »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: Cody was dirt poor! All he could get her was flowers! »
<Chrys> «ooc: For all those concerned, the tune being played is a music box rendition of Rose and Ghose ^^; »
<Chrys> «ooc: Hey, she appreciated those flowers more than this ;O »
* Rachel stares at the necklace and tenderly picks it up with two fingers...
<Cody> «ooc: She hasn't reacted to it yet :P And she didn't take the flowers tenderly, she got sad :P Bwah »
<Rachel> <<There is a small problem. ;) She's wearing the necklace Cody gave her...>>
<Rachel> <<She took the flowers, it was the note that made her sad>>
<Cody> «ooc: ^^; »

<Rachel> Oh please.....you can be like Cody sometimes, y'know that...? Worrying doesn't equate suffering... ^^;

<Rachel> But....it's...beautiful...
* Rachel looks at the necklace again...
<Rachel> << Rachel is gonna look like Mr. T :o>>
<Chrys> «ooc: o.o »
<Rachel> .....I'd hug you right now if I..
<Chrys> Don't bother. I realize you have other things to worry about.
* Rachel sighs and quietly puts the necklace on, tucking it in her tunic... "....I wanna thank you, though...."
<Chrys> .....
<Rachel> For...protecting me...and for helping everyone...
<Chrys> ....I didn't protect you... I tried, but...geezus, what the hell is with that guy...?
<Rachel> You mean my husband...? He....
<Chrys> Husband? Ph...do you really want to call him that...? Is it your feeling of him, or just a title everyone puts on him?
* Rachel frowns and looks down... "....I used to love him, y'know? Really love him. Before he started.....and I don't even know... all I feel is fear...."
<Rachel> <<I killed Chrys! :o>>
<Chrys> ...You've got good friends, Rachel. Every one of us would put our life on the line to save you. And not because you're the Mana Knight, because you're...you, I guess.
<Rachel> <<Or not! :o>>
* Rachel sighs and looks at Chrys with a wry smile.. "I know.... I know.... I just....I'm so afraid of him, Chrys... and now it's like I can feel his hands on me whenever someone touches me..."
<Chrys> ...
<Chrys> Rachel...I can't say anything that would help erase that. I just can't.
<Rachel> <<No need! Just throw me in a pile of garbage and uNF me, fucking brigand! :o>>
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o »
<Chrys> «ooc: Agh! That would be like the ultimate stupid! »
* Rachel takes a deep breath and reaches out, touching Chrys on the cheek, her hand shaking faintly. "....but you want to. Thank you, Chrys...I mean that."
* Chrys blinks. "You're...welcome..."
* Rachel 's hand shakes harder and she tugs it away, hugging it to herself. "I should go make sure Cody's parents haven't killed Keylia for rudeness....are you going to be alright....?"
<Chrys> Yeah, I'll be fine. I've just got a lot on my mind...

* Rachel heads up the stairs to her room.. ^^;
* Cody steps out of one of the rooms (not Rachel's room) and gently closes the door.
* Rachel blinks and stops in the hallway, turning to eye Cody..
* Cody blinks, realizing that Rachel is there. He smiles gently at her, "Hey..."
<Rachel> <<Creed for this.. ^^>>
* Rachel still has the scared look in her eyes but there is also faint warmth there now and she returns the smile hesitantly.. "Hey there..."
* Cody nods to her, a little uncomfertable but also looking incredibly thankful, "Thank you...That was probably the kindest thing anyone's ever done for me..."
<Rachel> Well...I had to do something....I mean...you were unhappy...and...I just thought that maybe I could help...

<Cody> Ah, you found them? ^^; I didn't know if it was too much...I was just really worried about you...

* Cody blushes a bit.
<Rachel> ...it...it's alright... just...I mean...it's not you, y'know..? But I've gotta try to get over this again....he...he fucked up everything I had worked on...
* Cody sits next to Rachel, looking at her seriously, "I can't believe that he did those things to someone as kind as you..."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ANGSSSSSSSTTTTT!!! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Yez »
* Rachel closes her eyes and leans her head back against the wall with a soft thunk.. "I...can't believe..he tracked me down...and..."
<Cody> He won't hurt you again. I won't let him.
<Rachel> I want to believe that....I really do...but...right now I just feel like he'll always be hurting me....like it's just my lot in life....to be beaten and cut up and...
* Rachel trails off and opens her eyes...
<Rachel> <<...I liked that. ;) That was a good line. Go me. :D>>
<Cody> No. No don't think that. It's NOT your lot in life...You don't deserve it.

<Rachel> <<Cody kisses Rachel. Rachel pops him in the face. ;)>>
<Rachel> <<Though it IS a good time. ^^; I mean, the situation. The feelings and undercurrents. ^^>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Toss her in a garbage pile and uNF her? »
<Cody> No. No it's not your fault. Why would you think that...? Kurik is wrong for hurting you. He has no right to treat you like that...
* Rachel smiles faintly.. "I know...but I shouldn't have hidden it from you..."
<Cody> You were scared...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Kissing is STILL an option ^_^ »
<Rachel> Petrified......but....still....
<Cody> It's all right. No one blames you, and if they do, I'll ...do something...to them...that's non-violent...yeah.
<Cody> . o O ( Cody you are so, SO dumb. )

<Chriswizard> «ooc: Better ^_^ »
<Cody> Yeah...^^; Well..you know...Uh...Put whipped cream in their shoes...Dump a bucket of water on them...that sort of thing.
* Cody blushes and generally looks embarrased as all hell.
<Chrys> «ooc: *Resists the urge to have Chrys bust out laughing »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody feel so lame ^^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: my version of "Cody's sort of thing": KILL THEM!DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE »
* Rachel blinks and laughs a little louder now, shaking her head... "Put a lizard in their food....or dye on their soap..."
<Cody> Maybe put itching powder in their undergarments...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: That was slightly obscene >_M »
<Rachel> Mmmm...the thing with itching powder is that it smells odd....too easily noticed... I find if you mix some nice smelling herbs with it, though, then the smell goes away..
* Cody grins a bit, "You've done it? I mean...put itching powder in people's clothes?"
* Rachel arches an eyebrow and looks a lot like her old self. "Of course. I was the prankster of my house. My mother used to laugh so hard...I'd boobytrap my dad's important guests..."
* Cody chuckles a bit, "I never really had the courage to do that to anyone...The best I've ever done was keep my mouth shut while Rahne tricked Chrys and Roric. You know? ^^ Making them swim in that cold water?"
<Cody> ...Although I pulled out the chair from under Mark once. He never figured out it was me...
* Cody looks a little sad at that.
* Rachel blinks and quietly reaches into her pocket, tugging something out..
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: Smoke this Manajuana with me! We can angst on drugs! »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Rachel holds it out to Cody. It's the repaired Phoenix band.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
<Cody> ...Oh! O_o
<Cody> I thought I lost this for good! What happened to it?
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_O »
* Cody gently takes it from Rachel, admiring it.
<Rachel> Khyros toasted it...but I got it repaired....and I was gonna give it to you...but...things happened and....well...uh...here...
<Cody> Thanks Rachel...I was really sad that I lost this...It was important to me...
* Cody wraps it back around his left wrist. ^^
<Rachel> Hey, what else am I here for, eh?
* Cody smiles, "You do know that you can talk to me anytime, right? About anything. You can think of my friendship...as..."
<Cody> . o O ( Come on Cody...think of something witty....something witty...Don't be dumb... )
<Cody> As...
<Cody> ...A phoenix. It'll never die, no matter what happens. ^^
<Rachel> <<... ;) That's so a cue.>>
<Cody> . o O ( ...You have no tact, Cody. No tact. )
* Rachel quietly reaches out to touch the phoenix on the wristband, her hand shaking again... ".....sweet...."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Awwww...Annnnnnngsssttt »
<Rachel> . o O (...hold it together, Rache...)
* Cody simply smiles at her, not saying anything. Letting her take her time to heal.
* Rachel looks faintly frustrated and drops her hand again, sighing.. "....ugh. I'm so hopeless...got an abusive husband, a rich last name, a destiny as the Mana Knight...and I have trouble touching the people I care about..."
<Cody> It's understandable...I don't want to think about the things he did to you. Just thinking about it makes me sick. I can only imagine how it must feel for you. You're not to blame...not at all. Never think it's your fault.
* Rachel looks down at her hand, gazing sullenly at the wedding band on her finger...
<Rachel> <<I need to pee. Damn. ^^ Heheheh....>>
<Bahamut> << Save it for the pig. :) >>
<Cody> I know I can't fully promise that I can protect you. I want to, though. It's why I'm telling you now that if he dares to go after you again, I'll fight him...stop him with tooth and nail. He won't hurt you while I breathe. I promise you that.
<Cody> «ooc: LOL »
<Cody> «ooc: Baha you rule :D »

<Bahamut> << Nah.. I just have good moments. ^^ >>
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ You do rule! Shh! »
<Bahamut> << ^^; >>
* Rachel blinks and looks at Cody....she almost seems to want to say something but instead clenches her jaw....she recomposes herself. "....I think maybe I should be asking what I did to deserve someone like you in my life..."
<Rachel> <<... ;) >>
<Cody> ...Huh?
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ You stunned him, you suck! »
<Rachel> ...I mean...you're so....so kind...and sweet...and handsome...and you've got this inner strength...so loyal...
<Rachel> But you're totally human too....
<Cody> «ooc: Like, totally! »
<Rachel> << ;) Shut up! She's a warrior, not a poet!>>
* Cody blinks a bit, looking a bit stunned by these statements, "I...Don't know what to say...I'm...I'm not all that important..."
<Bahamut> << Be a Warrior-Poet!  Like Mel Gibson! >>
<Cody> «ooc: Show your ass before battle! »
<Rachel> Don't say that....you're important to me..very important....I don't think I'd be the same without you...
<Rachel> <<It amuses me that the scots actually did lift their kilts to stun the Brits.>>
<Cody> I could say the same for you, you know. ^^
* Rachel chuckles lowly and wags a finger at Cody... "...oh come on...Mercenaries are a dime a dozen...!"
<Rachel> . o O (Keylia would kill me if she heard that. Eep.)
<Cody> No! I mean...you've always been there for me when I'm down...lifted my spirits...You even went back to Kippo for me, knowing it'd be dangerous...
<Cody> I don't know how to thank you for all you've done...
<Rachel> <<Kiss me...!!! Er...damn. ;) Now Chris has me doing it :O>>
<Cody> «ooc: He wants to, but he's afraid you'll be upset ^^ »
<Rachel> <<LOL ^^;>>
* Cody slowly, very slowly, places his hand on Rachel, giving her a look in his eyes that says, "Is this okay?"
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel's hand, even »
* Rachel blinks a bit, fear rising up quickly but she nods, forcing herself to relax...
<Cody> Know that I'll never hurt you...Ever.
<Rachel> Hey...my heart says that...but my mind is just....nervous...I mean...scared..
<Rachel> <<ow damn, my fucking lips :o My dad needs a damn shave!>>
<Cody> «ooc: hee ^^ »
<Cody> I know...I won't rush you. Take your time. :)
<Rachel> <<You know... * Cody slowly, very slowly, places his hand on Rachel....sounds like a bad sexual abuse scenerio. ^^;>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o »

<Chriswizard> «ooc: kissssssssssssssssss! »

<Rachel> <<Cody makes it hard for Rache to be scared. ^^; You go boy.>>

<Chrys> «ooc: You're both in her room! SLEEP TOGETHER »
<Cody> «ooc: Damn! No! ^^ »
<Rachel> <<We're in the hall ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: You're both near her room! SLEEP TOGETHER »

* Cody looks tounge tied again. ^^ As usual.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Codddddddddddddddddddyyyyy nooooooooooooooooo........ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ;_; »
* Rachel blinks and gazes at Cody intently for a moment, something else in her eyes aside from the slowly disappearing fear. "...we're like two doors from it."
<Cody> ...Oh. ^^; Right. Ah.
<Chrys> «ooc: Rachel's fear is being replaced by RAW ANIMAL LUST »
<Cody> ...Rachel? Why is it everything I say comes out sounding really stupid? ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys: *breaks out into laughter* Because you ARE! HAHAHAHA! »

<Chriswizard> «ooc: Ah!Kiss NOW! ^_^ »
<Rachel> <<....see, look, see...augh...see...! ;_;>>
