<Roric> «ooc: Damn. I'm behind. »
<GMStoren> The whole group minus Roric stayed the evening at the Ward residence. Thanks to Rachel and Keylia's daring side plan, Cody was reunited with his folks, and it turned into one massive party indeed, for it was Rahne's early birthday/welcome home bash. :)
<Cody> «ooc: Ha ha ha. Rahne gets the spotlight and dies! »

<Roric> «ooc: What, just because I say it all the time? »
<Cody> «ooc: Well, maybe that's it. ;) Maybe it's just you ^_~ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Oh, I can think of at least two possible tragic loves in PW, if Lucca's plan goes through ;) »
<GMStoren> Morning arrives and you begin to wake up to greet the day. Rahne's mother Diana is in the ktichen, humming, which her father is reading the newpaper intently.
<Roric> «ooc: Maybe it's just because I'm listening to all these Celtic songs about doomed love. Damn me. »
<GMStoren> « you can start yanno.. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: I can't. :D »
<Chrys> «ooc: Ditto that. »
<GMStoren> Keylia stretches, plodding down the hallway. She notices snoring coming from Cody's room, which he was sharing with Tori.
* Rahne stumbles down the stairs in pyjamas with little foxes on them.. * Morning, dad.. morning, mom..
<Roric> «ooc: Heheh. »
<Cody> «ooc: Aww cute image ^^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^_^ »
* Cody is still curled up in bed, fast asleep. ^^
* Rahne lets out a big yawn, before sitting down at the table to mull over what's available for eating.. *
<GMStoren> [Diana] *waves* Morning honey! That was a great party wasn't it? I hope you're not exhausted for you big day today.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: you=your? »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: I'm making notes for myself=) »
* Tori is holed up in a corner of the room and suprisingly wide awake, going over a much-written in journal and some papers..there's plenty of crossed out writing and arrows, all leading to two points: Once circle that says "Kippo" and another that says "Nakano".
<GMStoren> Rahne's father pushes a plate of waffles and eggs over to Rahne that he hasn't touched much, mumbling "The usual, Rahne. She makes this every time."
<Rahne> No, I should be okay, Mom.  We gotta go see Master Joch today.
<Roric> «ooc: Ooh, marital difficulties. :D »
<Cody> «ooc: YAY! »
<Roric> «ooc: Why don't you make something new, you bitch? »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: I wonder if Joch is gonna make em go to the Shadow Temple and stuff=) »
<Cody> «ooc: Like eggs benedict? Huh? Huh? Or Pancakes? Would it fucking KILL You to make pancakes?! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne's mother breaks down crying and waves her spatula around. »
<GMStoren> [Diana] I know... you must be so nervous.
<Cody> «ooc: Oh my god. Memories of Resiha's dream that Tyr conjured up O_o »
<Rahne> I dunno dad..  after being on the road this last little while... Mom's "usual" sounds pretty good. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Diana] Say something encouraging to her you bookworm!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o »
<GMStoren> Diana throws a spatula at her husband's head.
<Cody> «ooc: Hee hee hee. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: WHOO! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: AND KILLS HIM! »
<Cody> «ooc: Jerry! Jerry! »
<GMStoren> He lowers the newspaper, rubbing his greying forehead.
* Rahne sinks in her chair, her ears drooping... * -_-;
<Roric> «ooc: If Cody and Rachel are gonna be luding or ficcing all these dreams of theirs, I should do one of Roric's dreams where he gets it on with keylia. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: BRAWLFIGHT! »
<GMStoren> [Raymond] What was that for?
* Niki walks down the stairs rubbing her eyes. She inhales deeply and smells the waffles. "...FOOD!"
<Roric> «ooc: What kind of stupid name is Raymond? »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: [Raymond] YOU WANNA A PIECE OF ME, WOMAN? »
<GMStoren> [Raymond] Seriously, don't midn your mother. You'll do fine.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: heh »
* Niki runs up to the table and sits down.
* Rahne 's ears twitch. * You guys.. can you keep the deathmatches to a minimum?
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
*** McGrue (mcgrue@dsl-104-22.iexposure.net) Quit (Quit: byby)
* Rahne gets up from the table.. * Behave while I'm gone. I'll be back..
<GMStoren> [Diana] Right, company... I'll get the juice. ^_^
<Niki> Mmm...juice. ^_^
* Rahne goes back up stairs, the last thing her parents see of her is the flick of her white tipped tail as she vanishes around the corner.. *
* Tori sighs and plants his chin in his palm, staring defeatedly at the journal's pages.
<GMStoren> Keylia comes downstairs, brushign past Rahne. "Gee... Cody's sleeping like a rock there.."
<Rahne> I know..  seems he likes to do that. ^^;  I wish I could sleep half as well. ^^;
* Rahne goes to knock on Cody's door.. * Cody?
<Roric> «ooc: is he dead? :o »
<Cody> zzz....
<GMStoren> Tori hears a knock at the door.
* Tori sighs again and looks up.
* Rahne quietly opens the door, peering in warily.. * Cody..?
<Tori> (Semi-q) Yes?
<Niki> «ooc: Tori shot Cody cuz he thought he was some villan in his dreams. »

<GMStoren> « Heather! »
*** Heather is now known as Rachel
<Cody> «ooc: Can I fill her in? »
<GMStoren> « come join the morning brigade.. we just started ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Fuck you, Dekar. Fuck you.>>
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
* Rahne speaks quietly. * Oh! Master Tori! ^^; There's breakfast down in the kitchen if you'd like to go have some.. we do have a long hike ahead of us today.
<Cody> «ooc: Can we pause a moment while I fill heather in? »
<GMStoren> « sure. »
* Tori looks down for a moment, crosses out "Kippo", and then stands up, closing the book as he does so.
<Rachel> << -_- Sorry....I'm so sorry.>>
<GMStoren> « Nothing to worry about. »
<Roric> «ooc: Eh, no big. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: YES! ANGST! »

<Rachel> <<Obscene.>>
<Roric> «ooc: Wah. I'm stupider than Baha and Dekar. »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<GMStoren> Keylia joins Niki at the table. "Waste no time huh?"
<Tori> (q) Breakfast sounds good Rahne. Thanks
* Niki shakes her head. "Nope. I'm huuungry."
* Rahne wanders over to where Cody is, and prods him gently.. * Cody..?
<Cody> Mmmm...?
* Rachel idly wanders in to join the others, some snow on her head.
<Cody> (quietly) Five minutes...gzzh...
<Roric> «ooc: O_o »
<Roric> «ooc: Snow? »
<Cody> «ooc: Snows in Mandala :) »
<Rachel> <<Snow! Like....totally..! :o>>
<Rahne> Wake up, Cody.. it's morning..  breakfast is on the table downstairs.
<Roric> «ooc: On her head? »
<Roric> «ooc: o_O »
<Rachel> <<I was rolling in it! Oh baby! Well, not really..>>
<GMStoren> Rachel comes in, and is promptly scolded by Diana to wipe her feet.
<GMStoren> « :P »
* Rachel sweatdrops and meekly wipes her feet. ^^;
<Cody> Five minutes....please...just five...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: DANG YOU DIANA! »
* Tori tosses the journal on his bed and pads downstairs to eat.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: >_< »
* Cody turns over, not really awake ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel kills Diana. "I'M A LITTLE SENSITIVE RIGHT NOW, SO FUCK OFF!" »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: You're jealous, that's what! »
* Rachel also shakes the snow from her hair. ^^
<Chriswizard> «ooc: humph »
<Rachel> <<lol Rorc ^^>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Cuz your Rahne will NEVER get Cody and you know it=) »
* Rahne curls her tail around, and uses it to tickle Cody's nose.. * Up, up, you..
<GMStoren> Rachel hears a few raps on the door behind her.
* Cody sneezes! O_o
*** Rasis (rasis@208.42.21.225) has joined #pureland
<Rachel> ...?
<Cody> Gwhassit! I'm up! I'm up!
* Rachel blinks and turns, opening the door. "You'd better not be selling something...!"
* Rahne 's tail snaps back around behind her again. * ^^; Sorry! ^^;
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Chrys> Housekeeping! ^-^
* Cody falls out of bed onto Rahne's feet!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: <Dealer> Buy soe Manaweed!5 gold! »
<Rachel> O_o Chrys!
<Niki> «ooc: Luc. »
* Rahne eeps, and immediately helps him back up. * Ack.. I didn't expect that to happen! ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: luc.yeah=) »
<Rahne> Are you alright?
* Chrys is standing in the doorway, covered in snow, but in a generally good mood. "Hey there." ^_-
<Cody> ^^; I...Sorry....I sort of...
* Cody blinks.
<GMStoren> Raymond continues scanning the headlines, dropping it ever once inawhile to reach for his coffee.
* Rachel blinks in amusement and steps away from the door, letting Chrys come in. "Uh, wipe your feet."
* Cody trails off, as if surprised by something.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: afk all »
<Rahne> No..  I should have maybe prodded a little more, rather than trying to tickle you with my tail. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Diana] Good girl
<Rachel> <<lol>>
* Chrys chuckles and comes in, doing just that. "Sorry about looking like Frosty the Snowman, but some kids decided to target me as snowball practice on my way here." ^^
<Cody> No...It's not that...I...I didn't have a nightmare last night... O_o
<Rachel> Uh, gee, I don't know who could have incited them to do that... ;)
<Niki> «ooc: HAHA Maze 5 has been defeated! »
<Roric> «ooc: Lucca: This song kicks ass. »
<Cody> «ooc: Will you people stop playing maze and focus on the bloody game! ;) »
<GMStoren> Keylia passes some orange juice to Niki, and the eggs. "Boy, I never met someone who could out eat me..."
* Rachel looks cute and brushes some snow off her shoulder. "Anyway, come on....we're all eating, I believe...."
<Niki> «ooc: I am. »
* Rahne smiles, and her tail begins to wag a bit.. * You didn't? That's great! ^^
* Niki takes the juice and the eggs. "Yummy." :D
<Roric> «ooc: FINALLY beat 4. »
* Cody smiles and hugs her impulsively! ^^ "Yeah! I didn't!"
* Chrys chuckles. "Sure. Not really hungry anymore, but I'll gladly keep company." ^^
<Niki> «ooc: Still behind me Ror. ^_- »
<Rahne> You slept well then, I hope? ^^
<Tori> <<bbias>>
* Rahne hugs back. * ^_^
* Rachel grins a bit, feeling pretty good herself now, and heads for the table where the others are.....she plunks down in an empty chair. ^^
<GMStoren> [Raymond] Hmmm...what's this about Wendel...
<Cody> Very well. ^^; I ...uh...like to sleep in a lot. Sorry. I'll be down in a minute though. Get out of my PJs...^^;
<Rachel> Wendel?
<Roric> «ooc: Raymond sees an ad selling Cody's secret sex tapes. »
<Cody> «ooc: Ben: It's all a vicious lie! Damnit. »
<GMStoren> [Raymond] ...seems you kids made quite a mess there. I think they could have written the story a lot better though.
* Rahne looks down at herself.. * I'm.. uh.. still in mine, too. ^^; I should go get changed also, I suppose. But yes, breakfast is ready and warm down in the kitchen. ^^
<Rachel> ...a mess, eh? ^^;
* Rahne 's tail is still wagging. *
* Cody nods, "Okay. See you there. ^_^"
* Rachel brushes her hair from her eyes and looks faintly amused.
* Chrys chuckles. "Good for us, I think we deserve a pat on the back.." ^^
<GMStoren> Keylia waves and passes Rachel the goods. "Hey, partner.. care to tag team the evil waffles?"
* Rahne smiles and nods before ducking out. * It's good to see you smiling. ^^
<Cody> You too! ^_^
<Rachel> Mmmm.... waffles...... I'm up for that!
<Roric> «ooc: Dammit, I hope the article doesn't mention me. >_M< »
<GMStoren> « I'll time advance after awhile.. ^^ »
* Cody goes to get himself dressed, whistling softly and happily.
<Tori> <<back>>
* Rahne goes back to get dressed in her room.. *
* Rachel twirls her fork and pokes it at Key's shoulder before digging into the waffles. ^^;
<Roric> >> Time advance 5 billion years. The sun explodes!
<Roric> «ooc: Gah. OOC. »
<Cody> «ooc: ROric! O_o »
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Roric> «ooc: Sigh. »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody: I'm BURNING!...Oh hey! Wait! (Frenches the fuck out of Rachel) WHAT A WORLD! :O »
* Niki is already scarfing the eggs and drinking juice. :D
<GMStoren> « Heh. »
<Rachel> <<O_o :o Cody tongue action? Geh.>>
* Cody heads downstairs a few minutes later, smiling pleasantly at everyone, "Good morning! ^^"
<GMStoren> [Raymond] You people all seem to love her cooking.. maybe we should have you over more often.
<GMStoren> [Diana] I heard that!
* Rachel pauses, waffle halfway in her mouth, fork sticking out cutely. She eyes Cody.
<Rachel> Mphphhoorning.
<GMStoren> Raymond digs his head in the Mandalan times. You again are struck wierd by the fact he's not a ebastman either, like Rahne's maternal menace.
* Cody blinks cutely and sits down next to her, "Don't choke. Milk?"
* Chrys chuckles. "It's been a while since these people have had real food. You'll have to excuse them, sir, but if you put a dead cow on the table I'd be halfway sure they'd eat it." ^_-
* Cody hands her a glass. ^^
<Roric> «ooc: "Hey Rahne! Come sit on the table!" »
* Rahne is down not long after, in her typical traveling clothes, retaking her place at the table.. *
<Chrys> «ooc: God, Chrys is acting awfully...Arcus-like today. O_o »
* Niki looks at Chrys and dumps her juice on him. "You have to cook it first!"
* Rachel swallows hard and accepts the milk. "Five out of ten mercenaries reccomend milk for healthy sword skills..!"
<Niki> Hmm...now I'm out of juice.  That sucks.
<GMStoren> [Diana] There you are Rahne.. I thought your companions would eat everything before you got here.
* Chrys gets juice dumped on him. "Aw, Niki..." -_-;
<Roric> «ooc: HAHAHAHAHA »
<Cody> «ooc: Uh oh. Soon Chrys'll sing with sperm following the words o~~ »
<Roric> «ooc: Niki rules. :D »
<Rachel> O_o Niki...!
<Rahne> Sorry, Mom. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Where's your mustache Rachel? *grin*
<Chrys> I'm glad I left my stuff with Cody's... -_-; I'll be back, I'm gonna go change.
* Rachel blinks and eyes Keylia, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand and sticking her tongue out just a little.
* Cody digs into his breakfast ^^;
* Tori sips at a large cup of coffee and eyes Rachel.
* Chrys walks off, trying not to drip all over the carpet.
* Rachel watches Chrys go ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel's too cheerful. Let's bring Kurik in to smack her around a bit. :D »
<Rachel> <<Okay ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: * Rachel follows him ^^; »
<Cody> «ooc: Tori: ...Would you like to...split...this double latte. Rachel: Heck no! Tori: First you won't be my condiment, now you won't be my expresso bean! Why me? »
<GMStoren> [Raymond] Hmm.. wonder what's gotten riled up in Larece... that place is a powder keg if you ask me.
* Niki goes back to eating some eggs. She then notices Rachels waffles, and steals one with her fork.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Roric> «ooc: Where's Larece? »
<Rachel> Larece? 
<Rahne> << It's where Tori's from. ^^ >>
<Niki> mmm...waffle.
* Tori suddenly shifts his eyes over to Raymond.
<Roric> «ooc: Where is it, though? »
* Niki shoves it in her mouth.
* Cody hands Rachel an apple ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: I suck. »
* Rachel eyes Niki and then blinks at the apple, eyeing Cody now. "Trying to get me fat, eh?"
<Cody> No! ^^ Making sure you're well fed and happy. 
<Cody> «ooc: Therefore FAT. Er.. »
<Tori> What's going on there, Sir?
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Raymond] Yeah.. *flips a page* that little country south of Southtown. S'been cut off for a while, but it says here they've elected a new king.
* Rachel smirks and makes a big show out of munching into the apple for Cody's amusement.
* Niki looks at Rachel, the waffle still in her mouth. "mmhat? Oooadisadhem all!"
<Roric> «ooc: Cody treats Rachel like a farm animal. "Just keep her well-fed an' she won't give ya any trouble!" »
<Cody> I have to eat somewhat fast though...I want to say goodbye to Mom and Dad before we go...
<Niki> «ooc: Translation: What? You had them all!" »
* Cody grins at Rachel. ^^;
* Rachel swallows her piece of apple. "Mm....tell them I said hi..."
<Rahne> Still big into Politics, huh Dad?  Gonna run for Mayor again this year?
<Cody> Why don't you come with me? I wouldn't mind the company.
* Tori shuts upa nd stares intently at the inside of his coffee cup.
* Niki swallows the waffle and puts an egg right on one of Rachel's waffles. "Here, have an egg then."
* Chrys walks back out, clean, dry, and most of all, not covered in orange juice.
<Cody> «ooc: He's the mayor of TOWNSVILLE »
* Rachel sweatdrops. "If...if you want.. I mean....it's kind of...personal."
* Rachel eyes the egg and snarfs it.
<Cody> Well...
<Cody> It's up to you...
* Chrys looks at Rachel and chuckles, smartly resisting from saying the obvious "fattening up for the winter" remark.
* Cody bites into some bacon, "You're a great cook, Mrs Ward. ^^"
<Rachel> <<O_o Oh hey now. ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Diana] Why thanks.. I never get these opportunities what with Rahne away and everything..
* Rachel looks up at Chrys and points a fork at him.
<Niki> Mmm...bacon.  *takes some of that from Cody's plate.*
<Cody> It's very much appreciated. 
* Niki munches on it.
<Cody> Niki... ^^; There's bacon on the table. You don't need to steal from other people's plates.
<Niki> But your plate was closer. ;)
* Cody sweatdrops. --;
* Rachel blinks a little in amusement and shoves her waffle to Cody's plate.
* Cody finishes up the last of his meal and looks to Rachel, "I'm gonna say goodbye to my folks. When you guys are ready, come look for me, okay? I'll be at the inn."
<Rachel> Eh? Er...okay...
<Cody> ...Hey! ^^; Where did this waffle come from?
<Rahne> Niki..  don't make my mom make you sit in a corner for six hours to think about what you did..  we really can't wait that long. ^^;
<Rachel> It must've flown!
* Rachel looks innocent.
* Cody gives Rachel an amused look, "Talented waffle."
<Niki> She wouldn't do that! :D
<Roric> «ooc: Niki: Because I'd kill her! »
<Niki> Right 'mom'... *shows her fake puppy dog eyes*
<GMStoren> [Raymond] Carmine looks like an oevr-inflated royal to me though. I don't think he'll pull that worn-torn place together.
* Cody cuts into it and playfully takes a bite.
<Niki> «ooc: Roric. YES! »
<GMStoren> Raymond sips more of his coffee.
* Rachel grins just a little. "...I'll come with you."
<Tori> . . .
<Rahne> Wanna bet?  I've lived in this house for Seventeen years now, and that corner and I are close friends.  I'm sure she'd love to aqquaint you with it, too. ^^:
<Cody> Great. We should probably go then. ^^
<GMStoren> [Diana] Rahne honey... ^^
<Cody> «ooc: Diana: Stop being such a dip! ;_; »
* Rachel nods a bit, brushing some hair behind her ears. "Righto. I'm finished anyway."
<GMStoren> The door behind you all opens...
<Rachel> ..?
<Rachel> <<It's Santa Claus!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Inside walks...Hikaru's MOM! »
<Roric> «ooc: Heh. »
<GMStoren> In steps Rhiana, out of the cold. Surprisingly she's not frozen to death in her skimpy outfit.
* Cody whispers to Rachel, "I really wish I knew how she keeps herself warm like that..."
* Niki takes her plate and puts a little bit of everything on it.
<GMStoren> [Rhiana] Are you all done stuffing your faces? I thought you'd have been out and around by now.
<Cody> «ooc: brb »
* Rachel looks at Rhiana for a moment and then murmurs back. "I have some ideas but they're a little dirty minded."
* Rahne wonders if Miss Rhiana is one to talk about stuffing faces.. * ^^;
<Rachel> You're one to talk about stuffing your face, Ms. Donut... ;)
<Niki> «ooc: That isn't Rhiana...she would notice the food and start stuffing her face too. ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: Rahne and Rachel are Goofus and Gallant. »
<Rachel> <<Who? ^^;>>
<Roric> «ooc: NM. ^_~ »
<GMStoren> Rhiana takes a bit of offense, not commneting any more. She waits in the foyer for you to finish.
<GMStoren> « Damn I can't RP her.. oh well. :/ »
<Rachel> <<Aw, you're doin fine. Make her lap dance for Chrys next. ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: O_o LOL! GOOFUS IS MY HERO! »
<GMStoren> « You all done stuffing your mugs? ;) »
* Chrys blinks
<Cody> «ooc: Gallant is such a priss. »
<Roric> «ooc: My mug says #1 dad! »
<Roric> «ooc: ...shut up. I'm tired. »
* Rachel nudges Cody. ^^;
<Chrys> Rhi has a point, guys... ^^; Can we get a move on? If you'd woken up earlier you'd have more time to eat! ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: God, Both Sides of the Tweed fucking kicks ass. »
<Cody> Hmm? ^^ Oh yeah, we'd better go.
* Niki finishes stuffing her face and turns around...her face a little dirty.
<Rachel> Yeah, let's move it, stud. ^^;
<GMStoren> Keylia throws a napkin in Niki's face. :P
* Cody stands up walks to the door, donning a brown overcoat ^^
* Rachel stands and looks amusedly at the others.
<Niki> HEY!  Why did you do that for?!
* Chrys raises an eyebrow. "Back to 'stud', is it?"
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Eggs don't make good war paint. ;)
* Cody blinks at Chrys, "Pardon?"
<Rachel> You're tiger. He's stud. It fits. ;)
* Rachel waves a bit and heads for the door, not having a coat.. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Beat maze 5. Woo. »
<Niki> No, but they taste good. :D
<Chrys> Oh, nothing, Cod'...just the fact she was using your real name yesterday.. ^^
<Niki> «ooc: Maze 6 is a bitch so far. »
* Cody pulls on his mittens, rather confusedly, and then takes a scarf and hands it to Rachel. ^^;
* Rahne does a bit to clean up after the group.. * I guess we're away soon, Mom. ^^; Sorry I won't have the time to help out with dishes. ^^
<Niki> «ooc: I keep getting caught at the very end. »
<GMStoren> [Diana] Are you going to go out like that? It's going to be warm today, but not THAT warm!
* Chrys leans up to Rachel and whispers in her ear.
* Niki wipes her face off.
<Rahne> << Maze 7 for me. :)  Maze 6 was easy.  5 really, really sucked. >>
* Rachel blinks a little.
* Cody blinks, "It's warm? ^^;"
<Niki> «ooc: 6 is not easy! »
<GMStoren> [Raymond] I'll swallow my pride and do them, Rahne. You get going and do what you need to.
<Niki> «ooc: Stupid catching me at the very last second. »
* Rachel blushes. "Ah. Uh. I'm going now!"
* Chrys chuckles.
* Cody nods quickly and heads outside ^^;
* Rachel sticks her tongue out at Chrys and wanders outside!
* Tori sets down his empty cup and has an odd look on his face as he goes upstairs to get his things.
* Chrys follows like a bad parasite. ^^
<Rachel> <<~ you make me sick, I want you and I'm hating it.. ~ ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. Damn you, Chrys. »
<GMStoren> « ok.. hush for a bit.. :) »
* Rahne sets down the dishes at the counter before turning to her father, and hugging him. * Okay, Dad.. Love ya.
<Niki> «ooc: Umm...nm. Beat maze 6. ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: Drat! »

<Cody> «ooc: neck »
<GMStoren> Eventually you all manage to get outside into the lovly, invigorating Mandaa air! The snow has abated for now, and the air has a much less humid, dry feel to it.
<Roric> «ooc: A humid, dry feel? »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh. »
<Roric> «ooc: I see. »
<GMStoren> « less humid... and dry.. sorry ;) »
* Rahne takes in a deep breath, and survey's the white-laden land. *
<Chriswizard> «ooc: No snow-blindedness? »
<Rachel> <<Does that include Cody and Chrys and I? :o We have happy threesome in da snow. Uh, god.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Wee :D »
<Rahne> << Not a snowball's chance in hell, Chris.  Takes alot of sun and alot of snow to get one snowblind. >>
* Chrys stretches. "So, sooner we get to Joch's, sooner we get on with life, right?"
* Niki pats her stomach. "You mom is a good cook. She needs to cook for me again." :D
<GMStoren> Some people mull about, brushing snow off their stores and wagons, but one man stands in the center of town looking up at the sky.
<Roric> «ooc: .oO(I forget where my house is) »
* Cody breathes in deeply. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: It's in your mind, Roric. All in your mind. »
* Rahne smiles at Niki, her tail wagging. * I'm glad you liked it, Miss Niki. ^^
* Rachel quietly shuffles her feet in the snow. ^^
<Roric> «ooc: Beat 6, that was easy., »
* Cody eyes the guy in the center of the town, "Hmm? Is that Roric? He hasn't shown up yet this morning."
* Tori shivers and draws his cloak a little closer.
<Niki> «ooc: Maze 7 sucks. »
* Rachel blinks a bit and looks.
<Niki> «ooc: Maze 6 was a pain for me cuz I kept forgetting one step. »
<Roric> «ooc: Beat 7 on my first try. »
<GMStoren> It's not Roric.. however he is an older stout man who's armor bears the distinct seal of a Mana Knight. A sword with intertwined vines hangs at his side, his frame partiall obscured by a furry cloak.
<Roric> «ooc: I'm in the zone. »
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Rachel> <<HE'S MY DADDY :D>>
<Cody> ...A Gemma Knight?
<Niki> «ooc: @_@ You did. »
* Rachel furrows her brow.
<GMStoren> He strokes his greying beard. "Another gone by and still nothing..."
<Rahne> I don't know..  but I don't think he's from around here..
* Chrys quietly tries to hide Cody under the snow ;)
<Cody> «ooc: Man: Still no bowel movements...Need more metamucil... »
<Rachel> O_o
<Cody> Hey! O_o
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o »
* Rachel blinks as Chrys stuffs Cody in the snow. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] A knight up here?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey.. he looks a little familiar to me..
* Cody sputters a bit, trying to get up.
<Chrys> ^^; Well, they may be here to find ya, Cod..
<Chriswizard> «ooc: IT's RANDY! »
* Niki looks at Rahne after thinking it over for a bit. "Miss sucks. Don't call me miss. Go call the stupid hair boy miss instead."
<Rahne> Waitaminute..  I do know him..  ^^;
<Chrys> «ooc: I AM NOT THE STUPID HAIR BOY »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Joch! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: =) »
<Niki> «ooc: ^_- »
<Cody> If he's a gemma knight, he probably can already tell by my...aura or something -_-;
<Rachel> Ohh, Rahne...is that your boyfriend? ^_-
<Chrys> ...What the hell?
<Niki> «ooc: Your right, now you Miss stupid hair boy. »
* Rahne waves to the elderly Knight. * Good Morning, Sir Fletcher! ^_^
* Cody stops, "Did she say Fletcher?"
<Chrys> Listen, the only aura you have is the one everyone gets after eating too many frigging beans.
* Chrys blinks. "Who's Fletcher?"
<GMStoren> The knight lowers his head, turning it sharply to Rahne.
<Cody> That's Roric's last name.
<GMStoren> [Adrian] Who is that?
<Chrys> ...It is?
<Chrys> ...Funny, I don't remember him telling me his last name.
<Cody> Yes, now can I please get up...I can't feel my bottom -_-; It's numb.
* Chrys pulls up Cody and dusts the snow off. "Sorry."
* Niki starts playing in the snow.
* Rachel idly flicks some snow at Chrys in amusement and then eyes the knight...
* Rahne heads over to talk.. * Who else could it be? Who else looks like me? ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Fletcher.. like.. Adrian Fletcher, the ex-Knight Commander? Oho.. I get it.
* Cody grins a bit, and pelts a bit of leftover snow at Chrys for good measure. ^_^
* Chrys blinks. "I missed someth-hey!"
<Rachel> <<As Chrys gets beaten down with snow. ;)>>
* Chrys mock snarls at Cody. "You'll pay for that!" ^_-
<Niki> That looks like fun!
<Cody> «ooc: Serves him right! Cody probably got frostbite in one of his asscheeks! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
* Rachel shakes her head. "Gah. Men."
* Chrys kneels down and starts packing a snowball.
<Cody> ^_- Oh really now?
* Niki digs herself a little bunker and starts throwing snow at everyone.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Gotta cut it off=) »
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel; KIll them all. »
* Cody does likewise. ^^
* Rachel idly sidles over to Keylia, thinking it safer. ^^;
* Cody pelts it at Chrys!
<GMStoren> [Adrian] You're Rahne Ward, from next door. Apologies... my sight isn't what it used to be. Elizabeth thanks your mother for your generous help last week with the yard..
* Chrys dodges, letting the snowball hit Niki!
* Chrys throws his snowball at Cody! ^^;
* Niki is in her bunker so is protected. ^_^
* Cody dodges, letting the snowball hit...Tori!
* Niki looks at Rachel and throws a snowball at her. "Don't think you can get away!"
<Rachel> O_o Gyack!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: SNOWFIGHT! »
* Rachel gets hit in the face with the snow and falls over.
* Tori gets snow splattered all over his face.
* Rahne smiles at the elderly knight, her tail wagging a bit. * I shall surely let her know when next I see her, Sir. What brings you out here this morning, may I ask?
* Rachel coughs a little. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel: Shit! Ow! OK, now I hate women too. Uh...what's left? »
<Cody> Sorry Tori! ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
* Chrys sweatdrops and decides to go see what Rahne's doing.
<Rachel> <<Rachel: I hate plants too!>>
* Tori eyes Cody with a look that doesn't seem to be too friendly.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Joch!I think he's a neuter »
<Tori> . . .
<Chriswizard> «ooc: =) »
* Rachel brushes the snow from her face and grumbles a little. ^^;
<Tori> Whatever.
<Roric> «ooc: Fucking plants. Always staring at me with their beady little eyes. »
* Tori turns back around.
* Cody gulps a little and steps back, "I...i really am sorry..."
* Niki throws a snowball in the directon of Rahne and Chrys.
<GMStoren> Adrian shifts his pose. "I come out here after every snowfall wondering if I have anything left to fight for... if perhaps I still have a son."
* Chrys gets pelted in the back of the head and ignores it ^^;
* Cody drops some of the snow from his hands and looks kinda guilty.
<Rachel> <<* Rahne gets hit in the back of the head with a snowball and gets knocked unconscious!>>
<Chrys> ...A..son, sir?
* Rachel just sits in the damn snow. ^^
* Cody decides to go see what Rahne's doing. ^^;
* Niki hides in her bunker for a bit...doing something.
<Chrys> «ooc: She's ma...no, I WON'T say it >_< »
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
* Rahne brushes some of the snow out of Cody's hair and off of his shoulders while Chrys and Adrian speak.. * Tsk.. snow's such a hassle. ^^;
* Cody quickly hides his pendant in his shirt. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Adrian] Yes. But he and I have parted forever. There is no forgiveness for my rash actions...
* Rachel eyes Rahne and Cody....she pushes herself out of the snow, scooping some up...
* Rachel makes it very carefully into a snowball.
* Niki jumps out of her bunker lifting up a rather large snowball over her head.
<Chrys> ...W...what's your son's name, if I may be so nosy, sir? ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Oh no :O »
<Rahne> << Hehe! ^^; >>
* Rachel draws back and pelts the snowball at Rahne's back ;)
* Cody tries to look somewhat small and ungemmaish. ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: PLOT TWIST! »
<Roric> «ooc: * Niki's snowball falls apart on top of her! »
<GMStoren> [Adrian] Roric. His name is Roric. Though it matters little now...
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
* Chrys coughs.
<Chrys> I...uh... see. ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Roric: DADDY! »
<Cody> I'm sorry to hear that, Sir. :/
<Chriswizard> «ooc: =) »
<Niki> «ooc: <Adrian> SON! * the two make out* »
* Rahne blocks the incoming snow projectile with her tail, before spinning around. * Nice try. ^^;
* Rachel flashes Rahne a wry grin before heading to stand beside her.. "Mmph."
* Rahne flicks her tail, getting what snow off of it as she can. * ^^;
* Niki throws the huge snowball in some direction, she couldn't see which direction though.
* Cody gets pelted with it! O_o
<GMStoren> [Adrian] The Fletcher line will one day be buried in this snowfall... my mission will be over. But with the word of the Gemma's discovery, there is hope for me perhaps.
* Cody falls on his face! O_o
<Chriswizard> «ooc: SWEATDROP! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: anime style! »
* Rachel sweatdrops and kneels a bit, picking Cody up by the collar. ^^;
* Rahne acks! And helps Cody back up again, restarting her de-snowing process. * ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: whooh=) »
<Niki> HEE HEE, I win! :D
* Rachel eyes Rahne and releases Cody.
<Roric> «ooc: 8wonders if anyone's even listening to Adrian* ^_^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Noooooooooooo...Rachel gets to pick Cody up! »
<Chrys> ...The...Gemma... this may sound rude, but why is this a hopeful occasion?
* Rachel stands and looks at Adrian..
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys is ;) »
* Cody sighs and thanks the two women, not realizing that his pendant is slightly sticking out of his shirt. Die, Niki. Die.
<Niki> «ooc: Did you actually say that? ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: No. ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Adrian] At least I know there is someone protecting the world, if not me, or my lost progeny.
<Niki> «ooc: Damn. ^_- »
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: It's like the time I called Indigo a wench ^^ »
<Rachel> Hm...
* Cody tries to look small and unimportant.
* Chrys nods. "Will it make you feel better to know that I have heard of your son protecting the Gemma?"
<Rahne> People will always stand up and fight for the things they cherish, Sir Fletcher..  the burden never was yours alone..
<Cody> . o O ( Chrys...-_-; )
* Rachel quietly reaches over to tuck the pendant back into Cody's shirt, ignoring the fact she's basically touching his chest. ;)
* Niki gets bored and makes an angel in the snow.
<Roric> «ooc: Aww. I was hoping she'd cop a feel while she wa sin there. »
<GMStoren> Adrian starts, nearly grabbing Chrys by the collar.
* Cody blinks and starts to say something when he figures out why she's...uh...touching him. O-o
* Cody blushes and thanks her. ^^;
* Chrys gacks. "Er..."
<Roric> «ooc: * Rachel teases Cody's nipple. »
<GMStoren> [Adrian] What did you say?
<Niki> «ooc: What you say?! »
* Rachel nods a bit to Cody and then blinks, starting to Adrian.. "Hey...you break it, you bought it."
<GMStoren> « All your bases belong to us!! »
<Cody> (softly) Chrys...you shouldn't have said anything... 
<Rachel> <<Roric: :P~~ mmm nipple>>
<Chrys> I..saw..someone that went by the name of Roric Fletcher about two weeks ago. He...he's perfectly fine, and he was protecting the Gemma.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Pah.=) »
* Rachel grimaces at that line
<GMStoren> [Adrian] ...do you take me for a fool?
<Chrys> ....No, sir. ^^;
* Rahne starts to feel helpless.. swept up in a confrontation she can no longer control.. *
* Cody grimaces at all of this 'gemma' stuff. -_-;
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys: Except he was flouncing around in a mask and a lightning bolt outfit. I think he's a little...you know. »
* Niki sits up and starts watching the show...rooting for Adrian.
<Cody> . o O ( My name...my name is Cody. Cody...not Gemma.... )
<Chrys> Believe me not, if you wish. But I only speak of what I saw with my own eyes! ^^;
<GMStoren> [Adrian] My son is dead. Everyone I have cared for is dead. Don't haunt me with their spectres or your candied words..
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Watch him say " You were hallucinating" »
<Roric> «ooc: Adrian is cool. heh. »
<Rahne> I'm terribly sorry, Sir Fletcher..
* Chrys nods. "Alright. I must have been hallucinating, then."
* Rachel shuffles her feet a bit. "Yeah....too much of Cody's herbs....."
<Cody> (m)...Sigh. Damn you Chrys...
* Rahne sighs, and looks towards the southern exit of town.. * Let's go, everyone. We've got a long hike ahead of us..
<Cody> Sorry for the trouble, sir...
* Chrys pries himself free and starts past Adrian. "Or maybe you just don't know the right words to say..."
<Rachel> <<many. Not much. Grammatical...skills...degrading...>>
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: Use the force! »
* Cody looks torn, wanting to tell this guy the truth. --;
<GMStoren> Adrian casts Chrys away, his face showing a tormented soul.
* Rachel touches Cody's elbow for a minute before turning a little. "..we should go, yeah."
<Cody> «ooc: He's not a bad little gemma knight! He's really gor a BEST QUALITY HEART! </joy luck club> »
<Chrys> .oO(Geez. Maybe I shouldn't deal with anybody.)
<Niki> Guess no one won.  That fight sucked.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
<GMStoren> [Adrian] ...waste not your time with me. I'm already resigned to my fate.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Pah. »
<Cody> ..Yeah...
* Chrys is almost to the southern exit.. ^^;
<Rachel> <<We're trying not to, Adrian! We want to go! Shut up and let us!>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Is Roric with you? »
<Cody> I still need to say goodbye to my folks, you know. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hmm.. nutcase..
<Rachel> Oh yeah. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: of course, no one else knew that his folks were here. :D »
<Chrys> .ooc No, Chris ;)
* Rahne frowns a bit, before looking up to the old knight. * I'll, uh.. go tell Mom that Ms.Fletcher said thanks..
<Roric> «ooc: Since they didn't see the lude. »
<Rachel> Uh...let's go do that, Cody... 
* Cody nods, and heads towards the inn. ^^;
* Rahne solemly curtsies before heading off.. * Take care, Sir Knight.
* Rachel follows Cody, nodding a bit to Keylia as if to tell her to go on ahead with the others, that they'll catch up.
<GMStoren> Keylia walks off with Chrys to hold him back. :P
<Rachel> <<Keylia flashes Chrys. Chrys spins in a continous circle, confused!>>
<Cody> ...I feel really bad. I feel like I should have told him the truth...-_-;
<GMStoren> [Adrian] Yes... Lady Ward. *goes back to looking at the sky*
<Rachel> Hey, it's alright....some people have accepted a fate that isn't there....and when you try to tell them different, they can't handle it.
* Niki stands up and dusts the snow off of her.

<GMStoren> Cody says his goodbyes to his parents (hard I know ;_;) and it's not long before the group soon is assembled on the mountain paths leading west from the city... ^^

<Rahne> You gonna be okay, Cody..?
<Cody> ...Yeah, I'll be okay. I know they'll be all right. I'll just miss them...
* Cody smiles a bit though, "Maybe I'll see them again sometime. ^^"
<Rahne> I know they can stay in town here..  my folks'll put them up, and they'll be safe.
<Rachel> I wish I could've flown them home. ^^;
<Chrys> (vq) Eh, parents aren't worth being missed... -_-
<Cody> I think they said they're gonna stay in town another day...they said something about seeing the veedios. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, when we're done ok?
<Roric> «ooc: Damn, maze 8 is hard. I can get one block from the exit. »
<Rachel> Key is right...let's go ^^;
* Rahne looks abashed. * Okay.. sorry, Miss Keylia.
* Cody rummages through his bag and pulls out a small tin, then opens it, "Anyone want cookies? ^^; My mom made them."
* Rahne begins down the trail.. * This way, people..
* Niki starts to wonder about her parents.
* Rahne smiles, and her tail wags.. *
* Rachel blinks and looks at Cody as she starts to walk. "Cookies?"
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Don't feel like I'm a backseat driver or anything, but this is for you guys, not me... ^^
<Cody> Yep. ^^; Along with brownies and fudge. 
<Rachel> Hey, Key, shuddap and have a cookie! ;)
<Roric> «ooc: If Cody's mom is anything like Cody, they're probably all laced. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Cody waves around a chocolate chip cookie at Keylia. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. »
<Rachel> Careful, she might bite your hand off. ;)
* Niki follows closly behind Cody. ;)
<Cody> She'd better not! O_o
* Rachel reaches over to snag a cookie of her own, munching it as she walks.. "Mm....good stuff...."
<GMStoren> Keylia makes a sedictive biting motion, eyeing the cookie and Cody.
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
* Cody hands the cookie to Keylia, blushing slightly.
<Rachel> <<There we go. The first Key flirtation to Cody.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Note: sexual. »
<Niki> I want a cookie too.
<Cody> «ooc: She wasn't making a pass at Cody, but his cookie. Hentai. »
* Cody hands Niki a cookie. ^^;
* Rachel pauses in midchew, amused at Key's antics. ^^;
* Niki scarfs it in one bite.
* Rachel then swallows and eyes Cody. "Got milk?"
<GMStoren> [Keylia] ...I girl's got to know how to get what she wants...
<Chrys> «ooc: It was still sexual. Cody is not a baked good, hence he is not going to be part of it ;) »
<Cody> I wish I had milk. I only have water.
<GMStoren> Rahne elads the group deftly throuhg the convuluted mountain paths. :)
<Tori> Cody, do you have a moment to talk?
<Rachel> Pah. ;) What good're you then? ;)
<Cody> Hmm? Oh...sure Tori...what's up?
* Cody sticks his tounge out at Rachel, "Milk sours!"
<Tori> First off, I'm sorry about back there. I'm a little..preoccupied today. And you've got more then enough to worry about..you don't need others taking their problems out on you.
* Chrys nudges Rachel and mubles something to her.
<GMStoren> Around one of the rocky bends you get a great view of the valleys below, and even a few flowers bloom here in the rocky soil.
* Rachel blinks and looks towards Chrys.
<Tori> Anyway..I need to ask you a question..
<Roric> «ooc: Do the flowers attack them? »
<Cody> No...No It's okay Tori. I still feel sort of bad about pelting you with that snowball. Anyway, what do you need to know?
<Tori> I had thought that Kippo was going to be my last stop with you all..but the way things look, that doesn't seem to be the case now..
<Rachel> <<Tori: What is this hair?>>
<GMStoren> « No. I have enough fighting as it is. otherwise they would! ;) »
<Tori> and now my only other lead is with Nakano..and she seems to be after you..so I guess the question is, would you mind if I travelled with you all for a bit longer?
* Rachel blushes at Chrys and nudges him.
<Cody> Oh, I don't really mind at all. But...why are you looking for Nakano...? Can you tell me that?
<Roric> «ooc: "Yes. Frankly, we're all pretty sick of you." »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. Cody is too nice! ;_; »
* Tori looks away "She seems to know a few things about the people I'm looking for"
<Cody> Oh...
<Cody> From the empire?
* Rachel shares a few whispers with Chrys, her blush increasing. ^^;
<GMStoren> « interesting convo.. I hate to rush things.. ;_; »
<Cody> «ooc: Let Tori have his moment! He rarely talks! ;_; »
<Tori> No..at least, I don't think so..
<Cody> Okay...You helped me when I was in a tough spot back in Wendel...so I trust you. You have my support.
<Rachel> <<Don't rush things! Screw it! LET'S ALL BE TIRED! ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: That's right! HO HO HO HO! »
* Chrys chuckles.
<Roric> «ooc: I'm already tired. ^_~ »
* Rachel sweatdrops and looks towards Tori. O_o
* Rachel then looks at Chrys. And then back to Tori.
* Tori smiles gratefully..an odd look for him. "Thanks."
* Rachel then quickly looks to the horizon. ^^;
<GMStoren> « Oh I almost forgot. »
<Cody> Hey...no problem. ^^
<GMStoren> After a while you reach a deep gap in the path... the mountainside casacdes down a few hundred feet, the onyl way forward across ti to the other ledge, where there is a sturdy pole in the ground.
<Cody> «ooc: POLE DANCING TIME! »
<Niki> Aww, this sucks.  We can't go.
<Chrys> ...Whee. Anyone got a rope?
<Rachel> <<....yay! finally, my skills are needed!!>>
<Roric> «ooc: I do. :D »
* Cody blinks and frowns.
<Niki> «ooc: Rhiana has her whip! »
<GMStoren> [Rhiana] I've got the next best thing.
<Niki> «ooc: But thats the normal way. Lets think of another one. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Rhiana flashes her breasts! "...er...that didn't help..." »
<GMStoren> « You can.. ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: *steps across the gap* »
* Rahne stands at the edge of the crevasse, oblivious to the height.. * Hmm.. I bet you all wonder how I used to get past these before Miss Rhiana happened along. ^^;
<Rachel> Or we could always summon flammie. Bwahaha.
<Roric> «ooc: Meira could just fly. ^_^ »
* Cody blinks at Rahne, "How did you...?"
<Cody> «ooc: meria isn't there, is she? »
<GMStoren> « Nope. »
<Chrys> ...Summon flammie to get over a gap that we just BARELY can't jump. That's...nice...and....well, stupid, Rache! ^^;
<GMStoren> « she stayed in Wendel alst you checked. »
<Niki> Can't we just jump as far as we can and climb up.
<Cody> «ooc: Ha! :D »
* Rahne smiles at him, her tail wagging. * Master Joch won't let me tell anyone. ^^;
<Rachel> Yeah but...man...! I love to fly!
<Cody> Oh...^^; But...?
<GMStoren> Rhiana ignores everyone and lashes her Nine Tails across the gap, grabbing the pole with it's flared straps securely.
<Chrys> Niki, we went through this at Gaia's Navel. There's a long drop. You may survive it, but girly man and hair boy may not... ^^;
* Rachel blinks and goes quiet for a moment ^^;
<Rachel> <<Deflate!>>
<Rahne> But Miss Rhiana is here now. ^_^  So it doesn't matter.  Maybe if we get to come back here sometime I'll have to show you the secret. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: *Rhiana snares the pole, then hops across the chasm. »
<Rachel> <<Rhiana poles dances!>>
* Cody deflates at Chrys' words... -_-;
<Cody> . o O ( Guess my haircut didn't do much... )
<Rachel> Save the kinky bed talk for later, kids...let's roll.
<Niki> Oh well, maybe we there is some secret button.
* Chrys sticks a bike pump in Cody's mouth and reinflates him.
<Chrys> «ooc: GACK, OOC! »
<Rachel> <<...>>
<GMStoren> [Rhiana] Well, here's your ride right here.
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
<Rachel> <<OBSCENE>>
<Roric> «ooc: The fuck? Oh. »
* Niki starts stomping on the ground.
<Rahne> << ^^; >>
<Chrys> ...I like Rhiana's idea. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: The cliff breaks and Niki falls to her doom. »
<Niki> «ooc: Woo. »
<Cody> Thanks Rhiana...
<Rachel> <<....aren't we supposed to like.....hug her and get flinged across??>>
<Roric> «ooc: If it's like SoM, you whip the pole then jump. ^_~ »
<GMStoren> Rhiana digs her heels in and holds the line taut. Keylia moves to help her.
<Cody> «ooc: Fishing! »
<Rachel> <<O_o What the hell does whipping the pole do to help you jump? :o My god. Er, anyway-...oh god Keylia ad Rhiana sandwich>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Time to bust out those high wire acts. ;)
* Rachel sweatdrops and goes first.
<Niki> No way.
* Rachel struts out onto the line, only to stop halfway and wobble. ^^;
* Niki waits for Rachel. "Hurry up, your slow!"
<Rachel> ....I really liked my idea better...!!! 
<GMStoren> « *decided to check luck for fun* »
<Roric> «ooc: At least one person should die here. »
* Rachel whirls her arms a bit ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Kay, Cody's gonna die :D »
<Chrys> «ooc: Decides it should be....Rahne! AHAHAHAH! CAR forever! :O »
<Rahne> Careful, Miss Rachel! ^^;
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> Rachel...be careful!
<Niki> «ooc: Rhiana would die cuz her luck sucks, but she has the whip. »
<Niki> «ooc: You know that Rahne is going to go last. When its her turn she'll just walk across some invisible bridge or something. »
<GMStoren> Rachel manages to keep a fragil balance..
* Rachel twitches and goes REALLY slow across. ^^;
<Rachel> ...hoo boy.
<Niki> Hurry up!
<Rahne> << Nah..  she'll cross with the rest of you. ^^; >>
<Cody> I...i'll go next...
<Niki> No my turn!
<Rachel> <<Shake the line, Niki!>>
<Niki> I wanted to go first, but she beat me to it.
<GMStoren> « you can go hand oevr hand you know.. »
<Niki> «ooc: Storen: I was. ^_- »
<Rachel> <<Now you tell me. Damnit.>>
* Rachel hops across to solid ground, exhaling. ^^
<Niki> My turn! :D
* Cody decides to let Niki fall to her doom. ^_^
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rahne> << Heh. ^^; >>
<Roric> «ooc: Someone cut it while Niki is crossing. »
* Niki sits on the ledge and grabs the whip with her hands. She jumps off and hangs from the whip.
<Rachel> Whips should really only be used for fighting or the bedroom. Whichever comes first.
<Niki> «ooc: She would only swing across to the other side leaving the rest of you screwed over. She could then climb up the whip. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Don't I know it...
<Cody> Keylia! O_o
<Roric> «ooc: Yeah! beat maze 8! »
* Niki starts crossing the gap hand over hand.
* Rachel puts her hands on her hips, waiting to make sure people get across okay. ;)
* Cody gives her a goggled eyed look. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: I rock. »
<GMStoren> Niki keeps a firm hold, crossing with extreme ease.
<GMStoren> « Nice roll Niki. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Woo. »
<Cody> I'll go...
* Niki hops up to the other side. That was easy. :D
<Chrys> Go ahead, Cod'.
<Niki> «ooc: Er... quotation marks in there somewhere. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Cody flips over the rope! »
* Cody heads to the whip, and grabs onto it with both hands, doing a hand crawl, and slowly heading across...^^
*** Rachel sets mode: +v Radien
<Chrys> «ooc: Okay. *Niki hops up "to the other side. That" was easy. :D »
<Rachel> Hmph. Oh sure, of course I'm the only one who walked across it. ^^;
<Niki> «ooc: Whatever. »
<Cody> C'mon...almost there...
<GMStoren> Cody heads oevr the whip, but as he hits the middle he gets a cramp in one of his hands. o_O
<Niki> «ooc: Woo! »
* Cody begins to sweat a bit, twitching and trying desperately not to let go! O_o
<Roric> «ooc: Cody dies. The end! On to IoG2! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Woo! And then he dies and a tree grows there! »
<Rahne> Gonna be okay out there, Cody?
<Niki> Aww you suck.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, breathe Cody... don't look down!
* Rachel notices Cody and takes a step to the rope.. "..."
<Niki> Want me to go save your sorry butt?
<Cody> Ah...ahh...I...I'll be fine!
* Niki holds Rachel back.
* Rachel blinks at Niki. ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Cody falls...But Rachel catches his hand!Melodramatic action...BEGIN! »
<Niki> You'll make it hard on him.  Your fat butt will make him fall down.
<Rachel> << I can't. Stupid runt won't let me. ;)>>
<Rachel> ....
<Rachel> EXCUSE ME?
<GMStoren> Cody inches across, his hand flailing once near the edge and grabbing onto Rachel in a sloppy but safe landing.
<Radien> << Thankoo Heather ^^ >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Hmm. Chris, please to consider CAC and RAR. ;) »
* Rachel erks and holds onto Cody. ^^
* Rahne smiles and wags her tail. * ^_^
<Cody> Grah...Sorry about that... 
<Roric> «ooc: Niki pulls Rachel back and Cody falls, cracking his skull on the rocks below. »
<Cody> And Rachel is not fat!
<Niki> Well its true.  You would have made him fall by making the rope all wiggly.
* Rachel releases Cody, looking a bit miffed at being called fat. She touches her stomach a bit. ^^;
<Chrys> ...I guess I might as well go next...
* Cody whispers to Rachel...
<Roric> «ooc: Now Rachel will become bulimic. :P »
<Rachel> <<She's already half anorexic, man ;)>>
* Chrys dusts himself off and walks across the whip, tight-rope style.
* Rachel blinks a little and blushes. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: She is? Cool. »
* Cody blushes a bit as well.
<GMStoren> Chrys uses his theifly skills to do a walk across even a gymnast would have to stop and wonder at.
* Chrys spins in the middle to make it slightly more challenging, and then walks across with the greatest of ease. ;)
<GMStoren> [Keylia] ...showoff. ^^
<Rachel> ... O_o
* Cody glares at Chrys with a slightly jealous look.
<Chrys> «ooc: Heheh. ;) »
<Rachel> Gah....smooth moves, tiger. ^^;
<Chrys> Thanks. ^_-
<GMStoren> « Tori? :) »
<Cody> (to himself, in a high pitched annoyed voice) "Smooth moves, Tiger. You're so great. Cody sucks. Blah blah blah"
<GMStoren> « haha »
<Rachel> <<LOL UH? ;)>>
* Tori eyes the whip for a moment and then steps on to it.
* Chrys whaps Cody in the back of the head.
<Cody> «ooc: This is to HIMSELF. »
<Cody> «ooc: As you can't hear him! »
<GMStoren> It seems solid enough.
<Roric> «ooc: You can't speak high-pitched and not be heard at ALL. »
<Rachel> <<I just told him he was not girly! What does he want!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Well, true. ^_^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: If it's loud enough to be high-pitched, you can hear it. »
* Rachel watches Tori carefully. ^^
* Cody ows. -_-;
* Tori begins to make his way across, at a fairly quick pace.
* Rachel didn't hear Cody.
<GMStoren> [Rhiana] I'm sure glad this is a magical whip.
<Chrys> No jealousy, boy. I do what I do best, you do what you do best. Lord knows I'm not as good with the ladies as you are... ^_-
<Roric> «ooc: Rhiana: Otherwise it would have snapped under Rachel's fat ass. »
<Rachel> <<....grr.>>
<Rachel> << ;) >>
<Roric> «ooc: Just trying to make up for E's absence. <:D »
<GMStoren> Tori hurries across making a false step or two, either in a rush to reach across or run away from the duo of Rhiana & Keylia we'll never know.
<Cody> «ooc: Shush! SHUSH NOW OR I BEAT YOU! »
<Rachel> <<Damn you :o >>
* Cody blushes, "Wha...what do you mean? ^^; I'm horrible with women."
<GMStoren> He arrives in one pieces.
<Rachel> <<....>>\
<Roric> «ooc: ..... »
<GMStoren> « er piece ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: One...pieces. »
<Rachel> <<afhsn bad keyboard.>>
<Rachel> Good job, Tori. ^^ Rahne? 
<Roric> «ooc: Meh. Maze 9 is suck. »
<Rahne> Kay. ^^
* Chrys nods. "Suuuure you are. (w) Tell Rachel and Rahne that."
* Rahne hops up onto the rope and begins to walk across as easily as one might take a stroll in the park.. *
* Cody chokes, but in his eyes you sense a bit of quiet sadness as well. ^^;
* Rachel sweatdrops and briefly wonders if cutting the line and making Rahne plummet to her death messily would be a bad thing.
* Rachel shakes herself out of that thought. ;)
<GMStoren> Rahne walks across the whip slowly, but suddenly as she nears the opposite half of it, the grip on the pole loosens! o_O
<Chrys> Whoa there!
* Cody 's eyes widen, "Rahne! O_o"
<Rachel> ..! Rahne..!
* Rahne senses the shift, and starts to run for the edge! *
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Agh, crap!
* Chrys grabs the end of the whip before it becomes completely unfurled!
* Rachel kneels down to grab the whip, trying to hold it!
<Radien> << What the.... Pole dance? O_o >>
* Rahne leaps! *
<Rachel> <<Land on Chrys!>>
<Roric> «ooc: Ow. I hurt. »
* Cody hurries over to the side, in an attempt to help. ^^
<GMStoren> Rahne hops off the whip to safety. Whew.
* Niki doesn't notice this cuz she wandered off a little to sit on a rock and wait.
* Chrys gets squashed by Rachel's knee and Rhane's feet. ^^;
<Rachel> <<My knee? O_o Oh. Yeah.>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: mweh=) »
* Rahne lands, and topples over, catching her breath.. * Oh my..
* Rachel sweatdrops and moves her knee. "Sorry, Chrys." ^^;
<Cody> Rahne...Whew...You scared me! I'm glad you're okay...*Helps her up*
<Chrys> Not a problem. I could probably see up that armor of yours if I had tilted my head a little... ^_-
<Rachel> ...!!
<Rachel> Hey!
<Rachel> <<lol jesus ;) >>
<Chrys> «ooc: ;) »
* Rahne gets back to her feet slowly with Cody's help.. * Scared you? * Rahne lets out a small laugh.. * I was terrified! ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: "You want to look at my crotch, you ASK first!: »
* Rachel lightly flicks Chrys on the nose and looks towards Keylia and Rhiana.
<GMStoren> Everyone over, Rhiana swings over the gap with a flick of her wrist. ^^ Keylia starts spinning her sickle and embeds it into the rock near the cliff, and swings over in a much more gung ho fashion.
* Cody grins a bit, "Well, you're oaky now...Let's keep it that way, huh?"
<Chrys> Keylia, you showoff. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Don't worry, hun, you still get style points..
<Radien> << oaky? Mmm, woody >>
<Niki> «ooc: Damn stupid maze 7. Quit eating me. »
* Rahne grins back. * Next time, I think we'll go the other way.. secret or not. ^^;
<Chrys> «ooc: Rahne's Oaky? Does that mean she gives Cody wood? :O »
<Cody> Yes please... ^^
<Rachel> Hmph. ^^;
<Radien> << O_o Nooooo.... >>
<Cody> «ooc: Typo dork! TYPO »
<Rachel> If we're all done cuddling now..
<Chrys> «ooc: *wuvs Cody wong time* »
<Radien> << Hey, I didn't take it as far as Chrys ;) >>
<Chrys> ...I think so..
<Cody> «ooc: One day, Cody may be the most woody boy of them all! »
<GMStoren> You ntoice off to your right side is what appears to be a cave opening. Standing beside it is a familiar grizzled mountaineer. ^_-
* Rachel looks a bit at Cody and Rahne but then towards their destination.
* Roric is leaning up against the rock face, boot-deep in snow, staring up at the sky.
<Rachel> ....hey!
<Rachel> Roric!
<Cody> Roric! There you are!
<Roric> Roric: ...heh. Was wond'rin when ya'd get 'ere.
<Radien> << Cody: Man, I never thought of that... the chicks'll really love him then! >>
<Chrys> .oO(Compulsive urge to stare up at the sky must be a family trait.)
<Cody> «ooc: brb »
<Rachel> Sorry, the traffic was terrible.
* Rachel heads over to Roric.. ^^
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Yeah, totally. You missed the party too...
<Roric> Roric: Heh. *sighs, then grins and produces a toothpick* So let's do this thin', eh?
<Chrys> «ooc: *takes off Roric's "Roric:"* »
<Radien> << Either Roric's talking to himself or that was OOC >>
* Rachel adjusts her sword a bit. "Let's rock."
<Roric> I ain't much for parties if they don't involve naked women, hon. *he nods* I'm good ta go.
<Chrys> «ooc: No, Roric just has a tendency to go into MUD mode. ;) »
<GMStoren> You ehar a vocie from inside the cave. "Who's out there? Go away!"
<Radien> << Heh. ;) Or GM mode >>
<GMStoren> « heh ^^ »
<Rachel> <<I want to know where Roric keeps all those toothpicks.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Back. Sorry. Random company ^^ »
<Chrys> ...Oh, look. It's old Mr. Jenkins from the Carnival. 9_9
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
<Roric> «ooc: *kills Ash* »
<Cody> Who? O_o
<Rachel> ...Chrys...lay off the manajuana..
<Chrys> ...Never mind. -_-;
<Roric> «ooc: That was the worst EVER. ^_~ »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] *sighs*
<Chrys> «ooc: That was the POINT. ^_~ »
<Cody> Chrys....stay out of my herb bag.
<Rachel> Uh...Rahne? ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
* Cody hugs his backpack to his chest with a vice grip ^_^
* Chrys looks at Cody with puppy dog eyes. "Do I have toooo...?" ^^
<GMStoren> « brb a tiny moment! »
<Niki> «ooc: *Cody grips his nipple instead. »
<Rachel> (q, to herself) I'd like to get into your herb bag.
* Rachel ahems.
<Cody> Yes yes...No drugs for you. But if you're reallllly nice to me, I'll lace your brownies with something nice.^_^
* Chrys raises an eyebrow. "What was that, Rache? I heard your lips move..." ^^;
<Cody> . o O ( Like a lax-i-tive. ^_^ )
<Rahne> Wait here, guys..
<Roric> «ooc: Is Cody offering to have anal sex with Chrys? »
* Rahne ducks into the cave.. *
<Cody> «ooc: NO! »
<Rachel> You heard my lips move, tiger? Geez.. ;)
<Cody> «ooc: NO DEEPEST HURT »
* Cody follows Rahne.
<Chrys> Well, I heard you say something. Same difference, right? ;)
<Rachel> Cody.. O_o
* Rachel reaches in and grabs Cody's collar. ^^;
* Chrys looks at Cody's retreating self and chuckles to Rachel. "Didn't Rahne just tell him to 'wait here'?"
* Cody is pulled back, "S...Sorry. Wasn't listening..."
<Radien> << Is class-changed Cody gonna be an Apothecary after all? ^^ >>
<GMStoren> As soon as Rahne ducks into the cave, so comes face to face with a very short old man with a ebard. In fact his beard almost obscures most of his body.
<Roric> «ooc: Cody is a lapdog. He follows Rahne everywhere! :D »

<Chriswizard> «ooc: Nooooooooooooooo »
* Rachel releases Cody. "It's alright. You were probably distracted by something..."
<Cody> «ooc: Company sucks for that reason. :o »
<Cody> ...Yeah.
* Rachel 's voice has a faint bitterness to it but she grins goodnaturedly.
* Chrys looks at Cody. "I understand how it is. One look at a pretty face and everything else about the world just melts away.." ^_-
<GMStoren> [Jehk] Joch isn't seeing any visitors now!
<Cody> ...
* Cody turns away from Chrys.
<Rahne> You don't have to do that..  It's me. ^^;
<GMStoren> The old man blinks.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
<Radien> << Hang a sign on your door that says "Currently RPing; no social life allowed without a screen" >>
* Chrys laughs. "Just as touchy as ever, I see, Cody."
<GMStoren> [Jehk] Oh confound it. I was wasting that for nothing?
* Rachel blinks at Chrys and Cody...
<GMStoren> Jehk goes poof.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: *Hangs sign* »
<Cody> ...You wouldn't understand...and it's not important now...
<Rachel> <<Why did Cody suddenly go angsty? :o>>
<Cody> «ooc: They came in without knocking :o »
<Rahne> Well..  I brought friends..  but I don't think they need to go through all that either..
* Chrys sighs. "You have mental problems, Cody."
* Rachel sweatdrops.
<Cody> Thank you for telling me that.
* Rahne wrings her tail.. * Though I don't presume to give you advice, Master..
<Roric> 'Ey now, no fightin' in fronta the sagey guy.
<Rachel> He does not...give it up.. ^^; 
<GMStoren> A rather grating, reptilian voice echoes. "Come on in, already."
* Roric peers into the cave to see what Rahne's doing.
* Chrys wonders if anyone would be mad at him for pushing Cody into the previous precipice.
* Cody bites his lip.
* Chrys sighs and walks in.
* Niki pushes Roric aside and walks in.
* Cody follows everyone.
<GMStoren> There's a passage up ahead, oevr a few stalactites and a oddly placed rug.
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys: Dammit, I'm the only one allowed to be surly and pissed off around here! »

<Chrys> «ooc: Basically, yes, Roric. ;) »
<Roric> 'Ey! Watch it, sprite...*brushes himself off and follows along*
* Cody shakes off his irritation with Chrys and tries to look somewhat pleasant. ^^
<GMStoren> Keylia and Rhiana lemming. ^^
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rachel> <<Keylia and Rhi make out in the background :o>>
* Tori steps in as well
<Rachel> ...you know, just once I'd like to maybe have a quest that involves walking through a big giant field of flowers... ^^;

<Roric> «ooc: I've half given up. Am annoyed with #9. »
* Cody smiles a bit at her, amused. ^^;
<GMStoren> You all step in through the musty, dank cave onto the rug leading further in...
<Niki> «ooc: Roric: How did you finish maze 7? »
<Roric> «ooc: I forget. »
<Niki> «ooc: heh. »
<Roric> «ooc: It was easy though. »
<Rahne> I'm terribly sorry for the intrusion, Master Joch..  I'd not have come back, and with so many people unless it were of the utmost importance..
<Rachel> Nice rug.
<Roric> Nice r..*glances at Rachel*
<Radien> << <Rachel> Very munchable. >>
* Rachel grins at Roric.
<GMStoren> Once you clean the low overhang you enter a rather dishelved room, books and vials scattered all over the floor.
<GMStoren> « er clear »
<Roric> «ooc: I picture this as a big shag rug that's all dirty ans squishy and has never been washed ever. »
<Rahne> I see you've managed to not keep the place very clean, Master..
<Radien> << Eh, never mind... it was intentional innuendo this time. heh >>
* Cody bows a little, "It's an honor to mee you, Sir Joch."
<Rachel> ...this looks a lot like my old room...
<Cody> «ooc: meet »
* Rahne tsks as she sets about picking up the scattered miscelany.. *
<Chrys> ...Clean, yeah. ^^;
<GMStoren> In the center of the room , laying in a bed, is the esteemed master Joch. At first sight he looks rather hideous... a crocadile's wouth, and scaley wings flapping in annoyance.. ^^
<Roric> .oO( I'd rather be tested by a cute sage. )
<Chrys> .oO(HOW did I get INTO this mess...?)
* Roric scratches his head. "Uh...g'day."
<Roric> «ooc: Someone should remind Chrys he can leave any time. ^_~ »
<Niki> My mom would kill you me if my place looked like this.
* Cody blinks a bit at Joch, wondering why he's in a bed.
<GMStoren> [Joch] Ah, Rahne.. I'm such a mess.. and here you bring the GEMMA of all people!
* Rachel sweatdrops.
<GMStoren> Joch coughs a few times.
* Cody blinks, "Uh...sir... ^^; I don't really mind."
<Chrys> He has a name, you know. ^^;
<Rahne> Call him Cody, Master Joch..  he has a name. :/
<Rachel> His name is Cody. Uhm...are you not well?
<Niki> Call him Girly man. ^_^
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey Joch. *small wave* Not feeling so hot?
* Rachel sighs at Niki. ^^;
* Cody deflates for the second time...
<Niki> Well he isn't so girly anymore.  Call him half girly man!
<Rachel> <<*strokes Cody and makes him feel extra manly*>>
<GMStoren> [Joch] *grumbles* What's it look like? I feel terrible.
<Rachel> ....oh jeez. ^^;
* Rahne finishes putting the vials away and placing all the papers in a neat stack before going to see her teacher.. * You've gotten worse, haven't you?
<Roric> «ooc: Like if he only had one boob. »
* Rahne 's ears droop.. *
<Rachel> Is there anything we can do to help, Sage?
<Chrys> ...
<Rachel> <<Joch: Yes. Fuck off.>>
* Cody nods, "I'm a herbalist...I might be able to make something to help you..."
<GMStoren> [Joch] ...well I've been stuck in this darn bed for ages now. I can't even do a thing without you around. Luka treating you good?
<Niki> «ooc: <Joch> Yes...Get your bitch ass back in the kitchen and make me some pie! >_< »
<Cody> «ooc: Yes! :o »
<Roric> «ooc: Joch: This is my test to deem whether or not you are worthy. First you find a short pier. Got that? A short pier. Then, you take a long walk off it. See where I'm going with this? »
* Rachel makes a mental note to ask Cody to make her some potion to help her sleep.
<Cody> «ooc: Heee! »
<Rahne> Yes, Sir.  Though she has many more servants there..  I'm not sure if I pulled my weight or not..
<GMStoren> [Joch] I don't think anything you got can help me right now, Cody.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
<Cody> You're sure?
<GMStoren> [Joch] But enough about this old bag... why are you here?
<Rachel> <<* Cody accidently mixes an aphrodisiac... with hilarious consequences!>>
* Chrys shrugs. .oO(I'm here because I followed them like a stupid lemming.)
<GMStoren> [Joch] Chin up Rahne, you're about the only persn who can put up with me for more than 2 weeks. You can survive anywhere.
<Roric> «ooc: I vote we kick Chrys out of the party. ^_~ »
<Cody> «ooc: Yes! Off the island! »
<Rachel> <<Chrys is there because he wants my ass. Not that I blame him. My ass is damn sexy. Ohhh yeah.>>
<Cody> «ooc: BRB. Someone explain! I gotta pee! »

* Rahne looks sadly skeptical.. * We're back for insight, Master.. wisdom. How to proceed.
<Chrys> «ooc: THIS IS NOT SURVIVOR AGHAGAGH YOU DIE AND IN HELL! »
* Rachel crosses her arms a bit. ^^
<GMStoren> [Joch] *cough* So, you're think you're ready for that?
* Roric nods. "We're kinda down shit creek 'ere."
* Niki looks at Joch. "Do you always look like a bug? Maybe I should squash you."
<Rahne> I can't speak for the others..  it's not my place..  but I don't think I'm ready, no.  But at the same time, I feel I must at least attempt it...
<Rachel> I'm ready. 
<GMStoren> [Rhiana] We need that power to face the Empire.
* Rachel rests her hand on the hilt of the sword, feeling confidence flow through her when she touches it. ^^
<Chrys> ...It's the first step up the staircase, I'm ready.
<GMStoren> [Joch] Bah, fiddlesticks. It isn't about power, it's about how you use it...
<Niki> This is boring.
<GMStoren> [Joch] If you people are willing to put aside your weakness, and find the true courage in you...
<Cody> Niki...quiet...
* Rachel blinks a little.
<GMStoren> [Joch] Then I'll consider testing you. *cough*
* Niki sticks her tongue out at Cody.
<Roric> ...sounds a bit 'okey ta me.
* Chrys nods. "A bit hokey, but all we have to go on, Ror'."
<GMStoren> [Joch] So, do you think you can do it? Rahne's got my blessing.. but you all look a little out of shape.
<Rachel> Hmph.
<Cody> I...I wish to take that challenge...To find my mother...I...
<Niki> I'm not out of shape!
<GMStoren> [Joch] Of course it's better than me.. *Cough cough*
<Niki> I'll kick your butt!
<Roric> Well...s'long as it doesn't involve no "sacrificing one's self for th'greater good" shit, I guess I'm easy.
* Chrys grins. "That's why I'm here, Jochie. I'm in crap shape, and I'm looking to fix that problem."
<Rachel> That's my job, Ror. Don't worry. ^^
* Roric frowns at Rachel, rotating the toothpick in his mouth.
<Roric> ...yeh. So...anyway. Let's get goin'.
<Rachel> <<....that's a fun mental picture. ^^>>
* Rachel nods in agreement.
* Cody nods quietly.
<GMStoren> [Joch] Hmm.. maybe you are heroes after all. I guess we'll find out what you really are soon enough!

<Roric> «ooc: Area: Rawr! I'm untamed! Rah! Grah! There's no telling WHAT I'll do! Arte you scared yet? RAR! »
* Chrys blinks.
<Chrys> «ooc: BRB! »
<Roric> «ooc: My brain is melting. »
* Cody gulps a bit, then begins to walk with resolve to the circular platform.
* Rachel draws her sword, listening to the sound of the metal against the scabbard....she follows Cody, quickly passing him to lead.
* Roric sighs. "Well...'ere goes nothin'."
<GMStoren> « actually these are solo fights.. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Ow ow ow ear hurts. »
<Rachel> <<Yay. Can I fight Rahne?>>
<Rachel> << ;) >>
<Rahne> << ^^; >>

<GMStoren> « you could but that's be unfair ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: You can fight me! ;O »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: dang=) »
<Rachel> <<Bah. ;)>>
<Niki> «ooc: I would kick Rachel's butt, but just barely. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: It would suck if she had to fight Cody »
* Cody is oddly quiet. Determined.
<GMStoren> You reach the cavern platform, as you notice two mirrors standing there.
<Rachel> <<Pfft. I'm stronger than you, Niki. ;)>>
<Niki> «ooc: No your not. ^_- »
<Niki> «ooc: Your attack rating is 93, mine is 96. ^_- »
<Rachel> <<O_o >>
<Niki> «ooc: Same str though. »
<Niki> «ooc: And I have more HP then you. ^_- »
<GMStoren> One has a silver edge, one that of onyx. They reflect no light but somehow shine none the less.
<Niki> «ooc: Let Feena choose the right mirror! »
<GMStoren> There's an incription on the floor.
<Cody> «ooc: Open, Mirror of Stars! :O »
<Roric> Time fer me magic makeover, I guess.
<Rachel> .....strong magic.
* Cody gulps.
* Rachel looks to the inscription. ;)
<GMStoren> Rachel's can't quite make the language out...
<GMStoren> « er mind. :) »
<Rachel> ...it says 'For a good time, call Azrael'. Huh.
<Cody> «ooc: pulls out Ellena's translation tome! »
* Rachel crosses her arms.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Rachel, stop joking about that loser. ;)
<Chrys> Uh...?
<Rachel> Sorry. ^_-
<Rachel> Can you read this? Can anyone?
<Roric> «ooc: HJeheheheheh. »
* Cody looks through his bag, wondering if he took any language dictionaries with him.
* Niki tries to look at the inscription.
* Chrys looks at it, seeing if either of him can read it...
<Rahne> I can...
<GMStoren> Niki just gets a bunch of boring gobbldegook.
<Rachel> Well..? ^^;
<Niki> «ooc: <Rahne> Wow Mi...er Rachel, you were right. It says "For a good time, call Azrael." O_o »
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<Niki> This thing sucks.
<Rahne> Just a second.. it's grammar is different than what we use today..  and I want to be sure of the translation..
<Rachel> <<I was gonna say 'call Keylia' but decided she'd kill me.>>

<Rahne> Mirror of the self forged from the stone of spirit... choose your path with eyes ahead the Light or Darkness. Do not look back, else ye perish.
<Chrys> (q) Yay, death. Fun.
<Roric> ...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Hey, Pillar of Salt, bible ref. =) »
<Rachel> ....huh.
<Radien> << Right, Chrys, it's engraved on the mirror of Erised >>
<Rachel> One mirror is light...one is dark?
<Cody> So we have to choose darkness or light?
<Rahne> I think so...
<Radien> << Ooh! *starts paying attention* >>
<Chrys> ...wow. Deep.
<Roric> ...wonder what th'diff'rence is.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Yep, that's the way it works.
<Radien> << Light gooood, dark baaaaad. Duh. >>
* Cody nods slowly. "No going back..."
<Niki> Well the darkness sucks.  I'm going to go with light.  Its this one right...
* Niki walks through a mirror. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Think of it like two sides of the same coin.. the encompasing darkness, or the nurturing light. something like that.
<Roric> «ooc: Niki is going LIGHT? @_@ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: I'm going with Grey! »
<Cody> «ooc: Amazing O_o »
<Rachel> <<* Niki breaks it!>>
<Cody> «ooc: I am so shocked. »

<Roric> «ooc: *walks into a silver mirror* WHere there is light...there is also...darkness. SILVER ECLIPSE! HYA! »
<Radien> << LOL >>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Niki starts laughing insanely! »
* Chrys looks at the mirrors, sure of his choice, but unsure of the reaction.
* Cody begins to walk to the light mirror, glancing at it.
<Roric> «ooc: la la no one knows what the fuck i'm talking about »
* Rachel doesn't move. ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Niki: I am EVIL!HEAR ME ROAR! »
<Niki> «ooc: AH AHAHAHAHA. *kills ChrisWizard in a mad rage of laughter* »
<GMStoren> Chrys notices Keylia behind him has no reflection in the mirror...
* Cody walks tot he dark mirror, also glancing at it...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o »
<Rachel> <<Keylia is a vampire! Run!>>
* Chrys blinks. "Key...? You a vampire or somethin'?"
<Chrys> «ooc: DAMN YOU, RACHEL. »
<Cody> ...This feels right.
<Rachel> << :D >>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] What do you mean? ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: yay, Cody is turning evil. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: my GOD »

<GMStoren> « Cody going dark? :o »

<Cody> «ooc: ;) »
<Chrys> ...I mean..the rest of us have reflections in this thing...you don't. ^^;
<Rachel> ...? She doesn't? 
<Chrys> No...
<Cody> «ooc: Ha! Fooled you! »

<Roric> Hmm.
<Radien> << Heh. Buncha smartasses tonight. ;) >>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o »
* Rachel blinks and looks..
<GMStoren> Cody phases itno the light mirror, the surface rippling.
<Rachel> Wow....I guess her beauty can't be reflected. ^_-
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Er.. yeah. That's it. ;)
<Chrys> ...Yeeeeah.
* Rachel hops forward, letting Key off the hook.
* Roric gives Keylia a funny look. "
<Rahne> Have.. you done this before, Miss Keylia?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Seriously, I can't be tested.
* Roric gives Keylia a funny look. "Pretty trippy, Key."
<Rachel> Mm.
* Rachel looks at the two mirrors.
* Rachel rocks on her heels a little.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I already have all the power I'm gonna get..
* Rachel chews on her bottom lip. ^^
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: Keylia juts out her breasts, "IN THESE!" »
<Radien> << LOL >>
* Chrys raises an eyebrow and shrugs. "Okay, I'll believe you...for now, Key..."
<Roric> «ooc: Very Dek-ish, Lucca. ^_~ »
<Roric> Ey, mebbe we can work out a different sorta test for ya later, eh?
<Roric> Fair's fair, after all.
<Rachel> There's no time, guys...let's all run into the mirrors! ^_- It's fun.
<Cody> «ooc: I'm tired. I'm going dekish! :o »
<GMStoren> Rhiana says nothing to anyone and strides into the Darkness mirror.
<Radien> << Dek doesn't make Ronfar references in his innuendo! ;) >>
<Niki> «ooc: Thats my job. »
<Radien> << So far as I know.... >>
* Rachel looks towards the darkness mirror, reaching for it, her hand faltering...she considers.
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. I didn't get the Ronfar reference. »
<Chrys> «ooc: RACHEL! NO ANGST! :P »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Rachel.. either choice is hard. It doesn't change anything... :)
<Chriswizard> «ooc: We closing soon? »
<Roric> «ooc: Sadly, no. »
<Cody> «ooc: No! Go light, Rachel! Liiiigght! Don't leave Cody alone! :o »
<Roric> «ooc: We still have like 90 minutes I think. >_< »
<Rachel> Well yeah. But, which color matches my complexion? ;)
<GMStoren> « battles are somewhat fats but I might need to stop.. wha do you think? »
* Rachel grins at Key oddly and leaps into the light mirror!
<Roric> «ooc: I need to go to b...aw. I wanted Rachel to choose dark. »
<Cody> «ooc: I can keep going. You might wanna do the battles for the people who have to go soon, though »
<GMStoren> Rachel chooses the Light Side! :D
<Chrys> ...............
<Niki> «ooc: Well the people who really need to sleep should go first. »
<GMStoren> « good idea. :) »
<Roric> «ooc: I'll be staying the whole time no matter what, so it's not a big deal. I kinda have to stay,. ^_^ »
* Tori walks forward and stops, standing inbetween both mirrors.
<Tori> This world doesn't seem to have much use for things that shine, anymore...
<Roric> «ooc: But...if we CAN end tonight, that'd be nice. »
* Tori pulls his cloak around him and strides through the dark mirror.
<Roric> «ooc: Wow, I really expected Rachel to go dark. O_o »
<Cody> «ooc: Hee. Knew Tori was going dark ;) »
<Radien> << Do not underestimate the power of the Dark Side >>
<Chrys> ...heh...for once, I totally agree with you, Tori.
<Rachel> <<I am the bomb.>>
<GMStoren> Tori neetrs the Dark path..
<Roric> «ooc: WHo'a left? Chrys, Roric, Rahne? »
<GMStoren> « er enters »
* Chrys follows the troubleshooter into the mirror.
* Rahne stares at the two mirrors, just as she had since having translated the carvings.. *
<Chrys> «ooc: Roric, Rahne. »
<GMStoren> And so does Chrys...
<Roric> My turn, I guess...
<Radien> << neetrs? hehe >>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I'll be watching you, Ror. ;)
* Roric sighs. "Dunno if I'm turnin' over a new leaf or just foolin' myself. Screw. Life ain't life without a few gambles."
* Roric steps up to the light mirror, running a hand along his stubbled cheek as he watches his reflection...then steps in.

<Chrys> «ooc: WE MUST ALL DEFEND DURING THESE WHOLE BATTLES! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: You know you're gonna win, but you gotta fight »
<GMStoren> Roric finds himself in a dark chamber.
<Niki> «ooc: Cecil looked better as a Dark Knight. He looks kinda stupid as a paladin. »
<Radien> << It's foamy? >>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol, I was just gonna say that=) »
<Radien> << Ha! ;) >>
<Roric> *looks around* .....
<Roric> «ooc: I liked Cecil as a paladin. »
<GMStoren> There's a single mirror at the end of it... it has a reflection of you.. a dark one.. inside it. It slowly steps out ontot he cave floor as you come to.
<Roric> «ooc: I'm Roric! *shatter* »

<Niki> «ooc: Roric should fight his dad. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: heh »
<GMStoren> « guys.. 2nd class change is the fun part! ;) »
<Roric> ...I'm being cautious. There's always hope, I think...but...it's always a small light in a sea of darkness. I don't think I can win this war. But I think I have to do something. I think I've sat idly by and let the world pass me for long enough.
<Roric> I'm my own man.
<Cody> «ooc: ...of the sea? »
<Radien> << Everybody sing along now!!.... >>

<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<GMStoren> « real :) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Roric defends! »
<GMStoren> « No I can kill you yanno ;) »
* Roric shoves his hand forcefully into the ground, passing through it up to the wrist as though it were quicksand. With a quick, fluid motion, he rises, drawing a twisting coil of green energy up with him. "I won't lose this battle!" He claps his hands together sharply, and the light envelops him.
<Roric> «ooc: AW »
<Radien> << Chris: Yeah, that's the only way to get the coolest ending! >>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: <Voice> Justice is not the only right in the world... »
<Rachel> <<.....I can see Roric bobbing on his heels, clapping his hands excitedly. "HERCULES! HERCULES!">>

<Chriswizard> «ooc: Actually, they're prolly just gonna hack at each other »
<Radien> << Those mice in Babe ROCK >>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: <Niki> I wanna fight! »
<Roric> «ooc: I considered using Poison Ivy first. »
<Radien> << hehe ^_^ >>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: <Shadow Niki> I wanna fight! »
<GMStoren> >> 33 damage! Roric resists the Poison!
* Roric kneels, mustering the strength to throw off his bonds.
<Rachel> <<...yay! porno!>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<Radien> << Chris: Hack at eachother? In SoM, what Niki said is /how/ you hack at eachother. ^^ >>
<Roric> You have my face...but you aren't me. 
<Chriswizard> «ooc: =) »
* Roric becomes steely-eyed. "I'll destroy you utterly!" His right hand flares with energy, and a long blade of pure light forms in it. "Burn! Burn in the flames of my rage!" In a single fluid motion, he flings the spear of light towards the. It spins, buzzing as it tears through the air.
<Roric> «ooc: the SHADOW, not the. Doh. »
<Niki> «ooc: <Shadow Roric> I'm Roric! *casts doom* »

<Chrys> «ooc: Valesti, Niki. »
<Niki> «ooc: Thank you. »

<Roric> «ooc: I assume no items here, BTW? »
<GMStoren> « Try not too. ;) »
<GMStoren> « ti's almost dead.. »
<GMStoren> « after all, ti's you. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>

<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: What are my current HP? »
<GMStoren> « 84.. ^^ now 83.. ^^ »
* Roric falls to his knees. "Never fear..." He places a hand on the ground before him and concentrates briefly. With a quick, fluid motion, he rises, drawing a twisting coil of green energy up with him. "I won't lose this battle!" He claps his hands together sharply, and the light envelops him.
<Roric> «ooc: Aura Wave again. »
<GMStoren> >> Roric casts Aura Wave.. his Charge is again at maximum!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: heh »
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Do you finally admit you need your lineage to succeed?
<Roric> I will blaze my own trail in life. It is possible to be a good person without the guidance of gods and causes. I'll prove this...
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Roric casts Rage of Mana on Roric!
<Rachel> <<...actually. If Roric has slept with many women, he's probably already got some successors running around.. ;)>>
<GMStoren> >> 51 damage!
<GMStoren> « close.. ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: Eh. I could have won last turn. I just wanted to be flashy. ^_~ »
* Roric buckles briefly, but pushes himself to his feet, teeth gritted.
<GMStoren> « heh.. 31 hop now :) »
* Roric traces a wispy sigil into the air, and from it, a floating javelin of light forms. "I will reduce you to ash in the wind!" Gesturing with a sweeping motion, he sends the blade rocketing toward the shadow in a trail of fire. "Feel my anger!"
<Chrys> «ooc: <Roric> Feel my anger and taste my refreshment! »
<Roric> «ooc: I like the ash quote. »
<GMStoren> >> Roric uses Hazard Blade! The lance tears through the fake hero!
* Roric waves his arm to the side and a rush of pent-up energy is discharged from where he stands. He folds his arms and closes his eyes.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: You have two Hazard Blade messages? »
<GMStoren> >> 108 damage!
<Roric> «ooc: The script randomly generates one. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Ah »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: I should do that=) »
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Bazing a trail.. but where does.. yoru trail end...

<GMStoren> Rachel finds herself in a similarly dark chamber.
<GMStoren> There's a single mirror at the end of it... it has a reflection of you.. a dark one.. inside it. It slowly steps out ontot he cave floor as you come to.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Nooooooooooooo »
* Rachel blinks a little.. "....oh great. Two of me. The world shall fear."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ;_; »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: *wants good Rachel* »
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Do you really think the world fears you, when ti';s you who fear?

<Chriswizard> «ooc: Ooh. Upset Stomache »
<GMStoren> >> Rachel attacks! 51 damage! Charge at 1/4!
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Do you really believe carrying a big sword makes you invulnerable?
<Rachel> <<Chris! ;) Shh! You can leer at me later :o>>
* Rachel drops back and narrows her eyes. "I've never claimed to be invulnerable."
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Rachel repostes and slams it's sword into her, hard.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Aww =) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: repostes? »
<GMStoren> >> 47 damage! Charge at 1/4!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ripsotes? »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: hmm »

<GMStoren> [Shadow] Then, what would make you that way? Hiding behind a friend?
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
<GMStoren> « too bad Rachel can't bust many cool moves.. ^^ »
* Rachel growls lowly and lunges at her double, her blade plunging deep into the vulnerable side and yanking upwards! "I don't HIDE!"
<GMStoren> >> Rachel plunges the sword into the dark, yet very real flesh. 58 damage!
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 2/4!
* Rachel shudders as she feels rage creep along her skin like a twisted heat...
<GMStoren> [Shadow] If you don't hide, then why do you run still?
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Rachel does a quick uppercut motion with it's blade, but Rachel catches it.. Parried!

* Rachel pushes the double away, catching the sword easily with her own....she then twirls swiftly, slashing down across her double's fleshy body before grabbing the dark shoulder and tugging the double down onto her blade, her sword emerging through the double's back wickedly.
<Rachel> <<Vegence.>>
<Rachel> ....because it's all I know.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: oucha »
<GMStoren> « Ouch.. ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Rachel unleashes the Charge manuever, Vengeance!
<GMStoren> >> 172 damage!
<Rachel> << ^_^ >>
<GMStoren> [Shadow] But everyone can learn.. something.. else...
<GMStoren> >> The shadow vanishes.
* Rachel stands alone, her sword poised as if it were still buried in flesh. She quietly sheathes it once more. "Not everyone. Not me."
* Rachel heads through the mirror.
<Chrys> «ooc: Rachel should have had to fight Kurik! »
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's HP/MP is recovered! Rachel becomes a Guardian!
<GMStoren> « ohoh.. »
<Cody> «ooc: Wah. Poor Rachel. :p »
<GMStoren> « That coming.. be patient! »
<GMStoren> « Mana isn't even half over. :) »
<Rachel> <<I am the Guardian! Love me!>>
<Chrys> «ooc: No, but it's a third over ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: WOO! »
<GMStoren> « Cody next? »
<Cody> «ooc: Sure :) »
<GMStoren> >> Meanwhile...
<Chrys> «ooc: <Cody> *sigh* Times are tough.\ »
<Cody> «ooc: Heee. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> Cody finds himself in a dark room, lit only by a single white candle. There's a single mirror at the end of it... it has a reflection of you.. a dark one.. inside it. It slowly steps out ontot he cave floor as you come to.
* Cody blinks, drawing his staff.
<GMStoren> The shadow looks at the candle between you and it, the wax burning near the evry end, about to go out.
<Cody> «ooc: I see where this is going ;) »
<GMStoren> [Shadow] The light of the world... can you really be a new one?
<Cody> I want to protect everyone I care about...I want to try...
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Or will you merely cast another shadow into time like the rest...
<Cody> I won't know the answer to that unless I try.
<GMStoren> Shadow Cody draws a staff, and assumes a battle position!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Yeah! Cody is rockin »
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Cody appears!
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<Cody> «ooc: Can we use items? »
<GMStoren> « Not needed but you can. »
<Cody> «ooc: Okie ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Quick Cody! Use the wasabi! ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: One of the Codys should knock over the candle, setting the room on fire. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Use the spam! »
<Chrys> «ooc: I get the feeling I'm being mocked here. »
<Cody> Of spires fine and green, I call upon the cloak of nature's spears to hide us from the ire of evil!
* Cody throws his arms wide, then spins in close to kneel on the ground. As he does, green ribbons of energy swirl around Cody, then suddenly burst into a protective wall of thorny brambles!
<GMStoren> >> Cody casts Cloak of Thorns upon himself! He gains a barrier of brambles!
<GMStoren> [Shadow] You can grow life, but can your nuture it? They are two different things.
<Radien> <<  Cody picks himself up and stuffles him in the Cloak. >>
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Cody casts Sandspray!
<Cody> «ooc: Aww bitch! I thought of doing that next! >_< »
<GMStoren> >> Dirt clouds Cody's vision forcing him into Offensive position!
<Cody> Gah-!
<Radien> << Hehe. ^_^ >>
* Cody stumbles foward, trying to get his barings.
<GMStoren> « I'm smart ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. Know what I'm gonna do. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: enemies aren't supposed to be smart! »
<GMStoren> « Remember your magic power is avstly better.. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Enemies are smart...this must be a Neo Geo game! »
<Cody> I don't know if I can nurture...but I don't believe in senseless destruction...
<Cody> Cold black iron, red hot iron, white hot iron. With iron taste and iron smell, ignite my rage to buring flame! To sear! To burn! To quell!
* Cody strikes the ground with the tip of his staff, as the ground heaves. The groundswell lurches forward until is rests beneath the enemy. Suddenly all hell breaks loose in a fiery fountain of magma and fire!
<GMStoren> >> Cody casts Fire Broquet!
<Radien> << ...boquet? >>
<GMStoren> >> Magma and rock assault the doppler.. 58 damage! Offensive power drops by 7 points!
<Cody> «ooc: I really wish we had a mind oil :o »
<GMStoren> « Now do I want to be a bitch and hell a lot.. ^^ »
<GMStoren> « er heal ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. ^^; »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o »
<GMStoren> [Shadow] But you do realize you cannto recrea without destroying the old ways?
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Cody casts Potensa Detonation!
<Cody> ...Oh hell!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: I liked the chant for that one=) »
<Niki> «ooc: >> Shadow Cody casts Potensa Detonation! Arche's theme plays on my computer. -_- »
<GMStoren> >> Cody is engulfed in his own Mana energies, painfully! 99 damage!
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol »
<GMStoren> « ouch.. 27 hp.. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Talk about hitting yourself »
* Cody flies back on his behind, smoking a bit. He painfully pulls himself up... ^^;
<GMStoren> « Cody's fight is the hardest. »
<Cody> I won't give up...
<Cody> Soil and green, mercy's touch, to life and soul, to breath and tears. I pray for this...
* Cody closes his eyes, and his hands start to glow with a gentle green aura, which spreads itself over his whole body. His wounds slowly close, and the pain from them slowly fades...
<Niki> «ooc: Aww, I would have used the same spell on him and killed him. »
<Cody> «ooc: Too risky. »
<GMStoren> >> Cody casts Vitae Soul! His is completely healed!
<Niki> So! ;D
<Niki> «ooc: AGH! »
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! Niki! Cheer me on :o »
<Niki> «ooc: We should have done that. »
<Chrys> «ooc: <Cody> in bed :o »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh yeah. Kick it up a notch! »
<GMStoren> [Shadow] The coming darkness... the darkness inside you.. which do you fear most will consume you?
<Niki> «ooc: Done everyone's trial but Cody's. During Cody's trial a silhoutte of everyone can be seen around the area. »
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Cody casts Fire broquet upon him!
* Cody defends himself, looking a bit freaked out by the flames for reasons unknown.
<GMStoren> >> 40 damage! CVody resist the status affect!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Niki's has already been done? O_o »
<Niki> «ooc: No. »
<Niki> «ooc: Soon though. Be patient. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm...to potensa or not to potensa... ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Potensa! You'll kill him, I swear! »
<Cody> I...will not let the darkness consume me...too many people are counting on me....
<Chrys> «ooc: Pootensa! »
<Niki> «ooc: Pootang! »
<Rachel> <<Hm. Are Key and Ror and Rache watching this now? :o>>
<Cody> Mirrored Earth cry, Alba's edge, retribution of green and blue! To rise! To cry! To live! To die!
* Cody pushes his hands forward, and the ground begins to rumble; something begins to surge towards the enemy. Suddenly, a pillar of green crystal erupts from under the earth. The crystal begins to resonate, then ring, then howl, then scream! Finally, it bursts into shrapnel and green fire!
<GMStoren> « Key is.. everything is simultaneous. »
<Cody> I won't fall!
<GMStoren> >> Cody casts Potensa Detonation!
<GMStoren> >> The shadow feels the brunt of the true magical assault.. 120 damage!
<GMStoren> « high o_O »
<Niki> «ooc: see. ;D »
<Cody> «ooc: Wee. :D Potensa! Potensa! Potensa! »
<Radien> << Is that a light attack?.. >>
<GMStoren> [Shadow] But this is... only the.. beginning...
<GMStoren> >> The shadow vanishes.
<Cody> Beginning...
<GMStoren> « It's Spirit. Shadows are not evil ceratures. »
<Radien> << Ahh. >>
* Cody looks at his pendant for a moment, then releases it and heads into the mirror.
<GMStoren> « he's just got Rhiana caliber Mind now. :) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: yes. I really LIKE Potensa Detonation »
<Radien> << And yes, Stor, but it seemed to make sense that a shadow be vulnerable to Light... :p >>
<GMStoren> >> Cody's HP/Mp is restored! Cody becomes a Druid!
<Rachel> <<...yay ;) He can sacrifice goats.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! :D »
<Rahne> << Wasn't Light though, it was Spirit. ^^ >>
<Cody> «ooc: I was going more for the nature aspect ;) »
<GMStoren> « Radien, it's not a shadow shadow. :) »
<Radien> << * Radien hands Cody one of Trajan's goats from her Kama Sutra procedures ^_^ * >>
<GMStoren> >> Meanwhile...
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! »
<Radien> << Stor: Okay. ^^; >>
<Chrys> «ooc: <Cody> *sigh* Times are tough. »

<GMStoren> Rahne comes to on the floor of a dark, damp chamber. There's a single mirror at the end of it... it has a reflection of you.. a dark one.. inside it. It slowly steps out onto the cave floor as you come to.
<Rachel> <<Cody should've leaned down and blown the candle out. ^_->>
<GMStoren> The shadow leans on it's spear, it's tail flicking in minor annoyance.
<Cody> «ooc: The candle is symbolic of his life :D »
<Rachel> <<Exactly. ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: lol »
* Rahne gazes calmly at the spectre of herself.. her tail doing much the same.. *
<Cody> «ooc: Well, it's not like he wants to die that bloody soon :P »
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Does the little girl finally want to grow up?
<Rachel> <<...I think the Rahnes should spend hours apologizing to each other. ;)>>
* Rahne doesn't say anything, her impassive gaze remaining.. *
<GMStoren> [Shadow] If you keep crying, and apologizing for your mistakes, they never are fixed.
<GMStoren> The Shadow picks up the haberd, point it at Rahne menacingly.
<GMStoren> « whoo.. tired now.. and points it. »
<Rahne> If I make a mistake, it's my fault..  those I hurt deserve an apology, at the very least.
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Is that all they deserve? Are you really a burden to them in the end?
<Chriswizard> «ooc: *Is tempted to say "YES SHE IS!" »
<Niki> «ooc: YES SHE IS! :P »
<GMStoren> « ;_: »
<Cody> «ooc: Hugs Rahne ;_; »
<Niki> «ooc: But only cuz she says "Miss" to many times. ;) »
<Rahne> I'd like to give more..  but I have nothing to give.  I am a burden, yes..  what is my purpose, after all?  What can I do, that someone else cannot?
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Why not show me then, Sage apparent.
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Rahne appears!
<Rahne> Why don't I surrender to you now?  I think like you..  I look like you..  but I don't surrender..
* Rahne readies herself.. *
<GMStoren> [Shadow] I am the doubt that plagues your mind every waking moment. Only if you deafeat me can you stand up to the challenges you face.
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
* Rahne twirls around, dropping low and extending her spear to it's full length! The weapon's shaft collides with Shadow Rahne's feet, knocking them out from underneath her! Taking the oppertunity to strike, Rahne dashes towards her off-balance twirling her spear just moments before stabbing at the enemy! *
<GMStoren> >> Rahne attacks! 42 damage! Charge at 1/4!
<Rahne> It'll take more than a mere illusion of myself to stop me..  I am prepared to stand against much greater challenges...
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Rahne casts Alluvial Blessing! It's Vitality increases!
<GMStoren> [Shadow] I am no illusion... and certainly not your final foe.
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
* Rahne casts ¤Alluvial Might! The ground trembles and a rocky spike explodes from the earth! With a deafening clap like a thunderbolt, the stalagmite explodes revealing Gnome! He smiles and winks at Rahne before vanishing in a shower of sparks. herself is surrounded by a brilliant ring of violet light which flares into existence, it contracts until vanishing inside her. Gnome reappears, and gives Rahne a good whack with his sturdy mallet, but she see
<GMStoren> « she see...? »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_O »
<Niki> «ooc: mallet, but she see »
<Rahne> << Ack..  she seems unfazed!  "I toldja it'd work," he says as he poofs again! *
<Rahne> << >>  >>
<GMStoren> « Might wanan work on a reprise line then. :) »
<Rahne> << I think so, yes.  Though I don't recall that problem from the times I've used that before. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> >> Rahne casts Alluvial Blessing! (Might? whatever ^^) Defense incerases by 12!
<GMStoren> « er Viatlity ^^ »
<GMStoren> « spider webs... whoo. :) »
<Rahne> Only two things will stop me..  and you aren't either of those..  I've fought my doubt this far, I won't let it rule me now..
<GMStoren> [Shadow] But your mind is still clouded... you have to focus better to stand in the face of change.
<GMStoren> >> Shadow casts Herculean Overload! Strength increases!
<Niki> «ooc: Yay, the battle of the stat raising spells. »
<Rahne> << Heh. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> « I'm trying to get it to equal footing.. ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
* Rahne casts ¤Herculean Overload! A series of crimson flaring lights spring to life around her, then fly towards her, making her glow with a brilliant red light for a moment, before fading out.. *
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o It's Tahn vs Jess! »
<Cody> «ooc: Wee :D »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne mimics her doppler! Strength up 13!
<Chrys> «ooc: Rahne mimics her...mimic? »
<Niki> «ooc: Come on now...both Rahne's cast Glacial Muse. »
<GMStoren> [Shadow] You can't be strong if your mind and heart set you on different roads..
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Rahne attacks!
<Niki> «ooc: Aww. »
<GMStoren> >> 23 damage!
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 1/4!
<GMStoren> « er 1/2 ^^ »
<GMStoren> « This mgith take awhile fellas.. ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
* Rahne shrugs off the attack.. * My heart and mind place me on just one..
* Rahne rushes towards Shadow Rahne, and vaulting off of her spear, she smashes a sandled foot into the maw of her opposition sending her flying backwards! * Take that, swine!
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm. Maybe I should go get some salsa and chips then. or play Vanguard bandits. Hmm. ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne attacks the Shadow! 70 damage!
<Rahne> << Chips and happiness for all. ^_^ >>
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 1/4!
<Niki> «ooc: Didn't Rahne attack once already? »
<Rahne> << 2/4 yes?  I attacked once already, I think. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> « you did? oh right :D »
<GMStoren> « I'm really sleepy.. sorry. »
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 2/4!
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Rahne attacks! Rahne parries the blow!
<GMStoren> [Shadow] Then surely you see there is only one direction on this road..
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
<Rahne> I knew that direction from the start..  you're just an obsticle..  and you'll lose because of attrition..  I was right from the start...
* Rahne thrusts her spear at Shadow Rahne, catching her in the side! Rahne then grunts a little as she struggles to hoist her impaled victim off the ground, whirling her around in the air a bit before forcibly bringing her spear point back down to the earth, sending her foe forcibly colliding with the ground! *
<GMStoren> >> Rahne floors the shadow into the cold earth upon her spearpoint!
<GMStoren> >> 68 damage!
<Niki> «ooc: Hmm, and I thought that was her charge. Oh well. »
<Cody> «ooc: I think it was. »
<GMStoren> « Nope.. »
<Rahne> << Not that one, nope. ^^; >>
<Cody> «ooc: Oh. Yay! »
<GMStoren> The defeated warrior looks into the eyes of Rahne... "But wil you always... be.. the right one..."
<GMStoren> >> The shadow vanishes.
<Rahne> ...I was right from the start...
<Niki> «ooc: Have the shadow use puppy dog eyes and Rahne will feel guilty. Aww. »
* Rahne heads through the mirror.. *
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! go Rahne! Who's next? »
<Niki> «ooc: Dunno, but whoever it is they went through the dark mirror cuz thats all thats left. »
<Cody> «ooc: Noddle :) »
<Cody> «ooc: Nice thing it's only 3 people :o »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's Hp/MP recovered! Rahne is now a Templar!
<Niki> «ooc: Well 4 technically. »
<GMStoren> >> Meanwhile...
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah but Rhiana isn't here ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: We'll just say she defeated her shadow by useing her giant breasts to grab the shadow and smash her in the ground. »
<Chrys> «ooc: OH MY. »
<GMStoren> « Oh you don't see hers »
<GMStoren> « Tori or Niki? :) »
<Niki> «ooc: using even. »
<Niki> «ooc: Doesn't matter to me. »
<Tori> <<it's OK by me if Niki takes it>>
<GMStoren> « Greta. on we go. ^^ »
<GMStoren> Niki wakes up on the cold floor of another room of the cavern. There's a single mirror at the end of it... it has a reflection of you.. a dark one.. inside it. It slowly steps out onto the cave floor as you come to.
<GMStoren> « er rather.. »
<GMStoren> « A LIGHT one. :) »
<Niki> «ooc: heh. »
<GMStoren> [Mirror] So are you still lost in the big world?
* Niki stands up and looks at her clone. "Huh...its me."
*** Rad-reading is now known as Radien
<Niki> No way, I'm never lost cuz I rule.
<Chrys> «ooc: lol! Tell it like it is, Niki! Word. »
<GMStoren> [Mirror] How sure can you be of that? Don't you realize what you've left behind?
<GMStoren> [Mirror] Your parents worry day and night over you. But you act selfishly without once thinking what it's be like if you were in their place.
<Niki> Yep, the stupid hair boy, the girly man, the lady with balloons on her, the girl with the sword, the guy with the gun, and umm...oh yeah Keylia. :D
<Niki> Oh, you mean WAAAY back there.
<GMStoren> The mirror image nods.
<Rachel> <<....I wanna be the lady with the balloons on her.>>
<Niki> «ooc: lol. »
<Niki> «ooc: Lucky I didn't call you the fat butt. ^_- »
<Niki> Who cares about them.  They were to busy doing their stupid stuff to even know I was around.
<Niki> They suck.
<Rachel> <<;_;>>
<Chrys> «ooc: I am not the stupid hair boy. ;_; »
<Niki> «ooc: *hugs Rachel* »
<Niki> «ooc: Chrys: Then find a way to tell Niki your name. ^_- »

<Niki> «ooc: Damn Storen...I want you to get Niki pissed off. »
<GMStoren> >> Mirror Niki appears!
<GMStoren> « Oh I will ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Hee. Girly boy. Dammit! I'm not so girly anymore! ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<Niki> I'm so strong cuz I had to be.  Or everyone would have pushed me around.
* Niki doesn't have her axe out and is talking to the mirror image. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Mirror] But don't they still push you around? You are a little girl after all, you know.
<Niki> I'm not a LITTLE girl.  I'm better then that!
<Rachel> <<...niki sounds like a street kid.>>
<Rachel> <<True dat, Niki, true dat!>>
<Niki> «ooc: Word up homie! »
<GMStoren> « Niki is the REAL Sugar Baby ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Mirror] Then why did you run away in the first palce! Your'e still a crybaby!
<Niki> Besides, if your me then everything you say about me is the same for you so Nah!

<Rachel> <<Yay. ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Come on, Niki! Kick...uh...Niki's ass! »
<Cody> «ooc: Kick my ass? ;_; »
<GMStoren> [Mirror] Can not!
* Niki starts to envision her past memories where she would cry at home.
<Niki> AGH!  Shut up!  Shut up!  Shut up!!  I don't cry!!!
<Rachel> <<I would've been curious to see Key's battle with her double. >>
<Niki> NOOOOO!  I DON'T CRY!
<GMStoren> [Mirror] Are you really a grown up then! You still don't look like it!
* Niki 's anger reaches a new level...her body slightly glowing.
* Niki looks at the mirror. "I SAID SHUT UP!!!"
* Niki yanks out her axe in pure rage.
<GMStoren> [Mirror] There's no place in the future for crybabies..
* Niki holds her axe up in the air as 16 lightning bolts strike the blade. What appears to be Niki's soul emerges from her body and begins to chant while the blade absorbs the energy around her.
<Niki> From the depths of my body I call upon my soul to aid me. Life to death, Lightning to dust. Odinson Catastrophe!
* Niki lowers the now glowing axe as the lightning dies. She takes a dashing stance and runs towards Mirror Niki swinging her axe with all her might. As the blade hits Mirror Niki the absorbed lightning releases an electral discharge. For a few seconds small static field can be seen around Mirror Niki, it then disappears.
<Cody> «ooc: Whoo! :) »
<GMStoren> >> Niki casts Odinson Catastrophy... she gains the temporary power of 16 men into her strike!

<Niki> «ooc: Its an MP funnel move. »
<GMStoren> « I say cast since it's magical skill :) »
<Rachel> <<Not to you.. ;) I was talking to Chrys.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Use Baha's essay! »
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm. Food or no food? mmm. »
* Niki drops her axe and falls to her knees, completely drained out out of breath.
<Rachel> <<lol. My teacher would kill me. But it'd be funny. Hee.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Crikey! SHe's bleedin' out! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Try it! For all you know your teacher is a closet human! :O »
<Niki> «ooc: Hey, she let out her full anger and used all her MP at the same time. I'd say that would make her tired as hell. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Yes, but would it make her completely drained out out of breath? »
<GMStoren> Niki is all alone, the mirror across the room calling to her.
<GMStoren> « almost done.. Chry is easy... for now.. ;) »
* Niki slowly stands up and picks up her axe.
* Niki wobbles her way to the mirror and steps through it.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: DAng that tech is tight ^_^ »

<GMStoren> Tori awakens in darkly lit cavern. There's a single mirror at the end of it... it has a reflection of you.. a light one.. inside it. It slowly steps out onto the cave floor as you come to.
* Tori stands up, but doesn't go for his pistol just yet.
<GMStoren> The mirror Tori shakes its head at the real one.
<GMStoren> [Tori] You think more force will bring your loved ones back?
<GMStoren> « ack.. »
<Tori> No..but it'll bring me one step closer to being with them.
<GMStoren> « Mirror there ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Mirror] But it also bring you one step clser to your own destruction. Do you really want to end up like him?
<GMStoren> [Mirror] Or Josie...
<Niki> «ooc: My mom. O_o »
<Tori> OF course..that's always been my goal. To save them and then fade.
<Tori> To be nothing.
<GMStoren> The doppler draws it's gun from the cloak.
<GMStoren> [Mirror] Are you really as heartless as you think? Do you not bleed like everyone of your kills? Surely there is something more.
<Tori> I don't know..maybe..why don't you summon the ghost that dwells underneath those rags and ask him?
<GMStoren> « Nice.. ^^ »
* Tori draws his own gun and levels it at his shadow.
<Tori> You know..I can't help but wonder...
<Tori> Can I make you cry out in pain?
<Tori> When even Imyself have forgotten how?
<GMStoren> [Mirror] You have not forgotten.. you merely deny.
<GMStoren> >> Shadow Tori appears!
<Tori> We'll see.
<GMStoren> « gack.. »
<GMStoren> « Mirror yadda yadda :) »
<Rachel> <<A slime appears!>>
<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
* Tori takes a defensive stance and fires at his reflection!
<GMStoren> >> Tori's reflection dodges, the bullet catching nothing but a whispy cloak!
<Niki> «ooc: Shouldn't it be "Mirror Tori" ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Oh wait, you said that already. ^^; »

* Tori staggers, but recovers- "Is that such a bad thing? To protect myself from getting hurt?"
* Tori fires at Mirror Tori again!
<GMStoren> >> Tori attacks.. with better success! 47 damage! Charge at 1/2!
<Niki> «ooc: 1/4 ;) »

<Cody> «ooc: Fuck. I'm wide awake suddenly. ^^ »
<GMStoren> « well he's the last just about.. Chrys and Rhiana are specil. ^^ »
<Tori> It drowns it out everyday, every moment..but sometimes that's what it takes to be safe..sometimes you can't be human and live.
<Cody> «ooc: Yes. Want to see Joch tell us we have the force, Luke! »
<Chrys> «ooc: I AM SPECIL »

<Rahne> << God..  I can't help but think about the song "Thriller" for some reason...  ^^; >>
<GMStoren> « Hey.. ^^ »
<Tori> To walk this path of thorns until I've paid for my sins.
<Tori> That's all..that's my reason to live..
<Tori> and when it's over...
<Tori> . . .
<Niki> «ooc: That tech was really only one thing. It just how I wrote it up. »
<Rachel> <<And to secretly worship me from afar, of course. Because I'm just awesome.>>
* Tori *¤*\chants as a small oasis of water flows up from the ground. A refreshing blue light envelops him and wounds seem a distant memory for a moment. Purity of soul and source of life- Cure Water! /*¤*
<GMStoren> >> Tori casts Cure Water! His Hp is totally recovered!
<Cody> «ooc: hee hee hee (downloads Princess Maker) »
<GMStoren> [Mirror] What? You crumble to dust?

<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
<Radien> << <Tori> Screw this, I've decided I'm gonna be Light after all. I'll let the Shadow win... yeah, that should do it.... >>
* Tori looks at the hundreds of small gashes that he's suffered- "To bleed my life out a little at a time..you're right, this is my way."
* Tori ¤*¤\pulls away his cloak & hat; revealed as a child of silence and cold intentions/¤*¤
* Tori *¤*\ digs his boots into the ground and aims at Mirror Tori -Light rises in a pillar around him, stray beams and wind coursing into the sky. Tori takes aim as an energy buildup gathers at the barrel tip of the Mclachlan and pulls the trigger, the blast pushing him back and his boots scraping furrows in the earth; That which was before all form and shape: Empyrean!/*¤*
<GMStoren> >> Tori unviels himself! Str Up, Agility down!
<GMStoren> >> Tori expends his charge to fire Empyrean!

<GMStoren> [Mirror] But does this way lead you... to salvation... or destruction?
<GMStoren> >> The shadow vanishes.
<GMStoren> « er mirror :P »
* Tori stands there for a moment, his true face revealed.
<Tori> . . .
<Tori> .. . .practice.
* Tori picks up his cloak and cap and steps through his mirror.
<Rachel> << >> Tori recovers his HP/MP! Tori is now a Nurse! >>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL! »
<Cody> «ooc: Bad mental image! >_< Goth nurse? »
<Rachel> << I've had that ready for like 20 minutes. ;)>>
<GMStoren> >> Tori's HP/MP is recovered! Tori becomes a Lunatic Knight!
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh. :D »
<GMStoren> « That's odd but cool in a way.. hmm.. ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Well damn. I think Chrys should become a Nurse, then. Or Rhiana.>>
<GMStoren> >> Meanwhile..
<GMStoren> « Chrys, time for the finale! ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Meanwhile? :O »
<Niki> «ooc: Chrys vs Angst! Round 1, fight! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Excellent. »
<Radien> << Angst'll win. ;) >>
<Niki> «ooc: Angst wins. Round 2, fight! ....*time passes* Chrys wins. Round Final! Fight! ^_- »
<GMStoren> Chrys wakes up in the same damn cavernous room with the mirror. However there isn't a reflection of his handsome features, but rather one of someone else's.
<Tori> <<Ack, almost forgot: Grayscale of the new tori is at: http://bohemian_resume.tripod.com/LunaticKnightBWrough.jpg >>
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys...*giggle* handsome...tee hee...Ha...hands...GHAHAHAH! »
* Chrys picks himself up, recognizing the mirror image immediately. "You..."
<Niki> «ooc: Duran is gonna walk out and kick his ass. ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Niiiiice, Tori. :O »
<Niki> «ooc: Tori: Neat. You gonna color it? »
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] Well well.. the little coward thinks he has a chance... you knw you can't win without the power, don't you?
<Tori> <<Probably, once I get some time on my hands ^^;>>
<Cody> «ooc: Nice thing is Cody doesn't really need new clothes cuz he sorta already got his makeover :p »
<Niki> «ooc: *patpats Cody* Shh Cody, just because Chrys is butt ugly doesn't mean you have to laugh your ass off when someone says he's handsome. ;) »
<Chrys> And you know that all your power is at my disposal, whether you like it or not, right? We're the same person...it's not power that will win this battle...it's who's the better man.
<Rachel> <<I should get Rache new clothes. Yeah. No more Iria clothes for her. ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Niki: I was joking :D »
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] You're right. Of course, there's on little catch.
<Niki> «ooc: Cody: So was I. ^_- »
<Cody> «ooc: :D »
* Chrys smirks. "The roulette table's always rigged. What is it?"
<GMStoren> « er one »
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] This isn't where we'll settle our differences, "neighbor". But when we do, the stake will be a lot higher than death...
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] At least now you'll have a fighting chance to make it interesting.
* Chrys chuckles darkly. "What's a higher stake than death? I'm not the one vital to this planet's life, Cody and Rachel are."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Dang. I didn't know Hawkeye was evil O_o »
<Chrys> «ooc: He's not. He's just jaded. ;) »
<GMStoren> « he just wants' Chry's body.. nothing personal ^^ »
<Chrys> And I'm sorry to say..."neighbor", but no matter how strong you get, someone in that group will be stronger than you.
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] Like I was vital to this whole scheme of things? Don't whine to me, Chrys.
* Chrys laughs. "Touche."
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] It's because of people like them and fate that I was trapped like this.
<Chrys> So, what's the deal, fuckhead? What's the stakes on this hand?
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] Bring that little mercenary to the Moon Palace like she said.. then we can finally find out whole has the right to change Fate.
<Niki> «ooc: [Hawkeye] Rib Eye....and on this hand we have New York Cut. <Chrys> I said Stake not Steak! »
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] Of course, I never play lose....
<Chrys> Fate? Pheh. That's all this is about?
<Chriswizard> «ooc: [Hawkeye] I play draw! »
<GMStoren> [Hawkeye] Revenge too. You know all about that.
<Chrys> ...well, of course I do. But remember something, Fenrir...
* Chrys grins. "You may never play to lose..."
<Chrys> ...But I never play. This is war, buddy.
* Chrys pulls out a dagger, flips it, and chucks it at the mirror, hitting it dead center and shattering it.
<GMStoren> The images of Hawkeye wavers a moment then bursts into a million shards.
<GMStoren> >> A strange power flows through Chrys as he does this... he becomes an Assassin!
<Niki> «ooc: >> Chrys can't class change. He is forever trapped in the mirror world cuz of that stunt. »
* Chrys falls to his knees. "It will be finished...mon frere..."
<GMStoren> Chry's head begisn to throb with pain as the sound of the crashing glass echoes through his mind, making him lose consciousness.
<Niki> «ooc: Chrys is French. O_o »
* Chrys clutches his head and falls to the ground, unconscious.
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys is a lot of things. ;P »
<GMStoren> >> Elsewhere...
<GMStoren> The entire group of heroes finds them selves back in the mirror room, intact, but very different somehow.
* Chrys is still unconscious. Yay! ^^
<Cody> «ooc: We now glow with radioactive powers! »
<GMStoren> « just pose some then I end. :) »
* Cody blinks, shaking his head as his world comes back into focus.
<GMStoren> [Rhiana] Well.. now that's settled, I know what I have to do.
* Cody eyes Chrys and hurries over to him quietly. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, great work team! ;)
<Chriswizard> «ooc: <Cody> He's dead! »
* Niki walks out of the mirror, her shirt now black, and the cloth over it a darker shade of blue. The second she steps out she once again falls to her knees, just exausted from what happened.
* Cody checks Chrys' vitals. ^^:
* Rahne stands.. a little wobbly as she adjusts to something she's not sure she can quite comprehend.. ...yet. *
<GMStoren> Chrys is in good health.. however, he looks like he took some kind of minor blow to the head.
* Niki looks at her axe as it still lets off a couple of sparks.
* Cody places a glowing green hand on his forehead, attempting to heal him.
* Chrys heals, but remains unconscious. Yay!
