Session Start: Sun May 06 21:27:00 2001 * Logging #Pureland to 'logs\#pureland.log' *** GMStoren sets mode: +m okay... :D ~~ SESSION START ~~ (take 2!) The sacred lands of Mana... the site of the Mana Tree, once filled with life, now a withered husk, tainted by the grip of darkness that now looms before you all. The Dark Lich Thanatos... «ooc: LOL. Aww, no more Dak. » «ooc: NO! DAK LICH :D » [Thanatos] So you think you will triumph here today? Anything you do is all for naught! Chaos's coming and my revenge will be at hand, one way or another... now.. give your spirits to the void! « watch something come up! j/k ;) » «ooc: Oh crap. I gotta go! » «ooc: No, j/k. » >> Epic Confrontation! vs Dark Lich Thanatos! «ooc: Glorious cresendo! » The huge skeletal wizard from beyond the ages raises his hands, chanting in tongues forgotten in the mists of time.. << Mmmm... 6th Revision combat introductions... >> * Chrys grips his knives and starts chanting, himself. "I ain't giving my spirit to NOTHING! I just got this body to myself, I'm not losing it now...!" [Thanatos] Yes... you will serve my purpose! * Cody tries to stand up again, managing to this time. >> Thanatos glares at Rachel as she feels her mind slip away... ...!! Rachel! Look out! «ooc: What th....durr....I like cheese. :D » <> «ooc: Rachel! Look out! He's looking at your breasts! » «ooc: Rachel gains status effect +ditz! » >> Rachel is possessed! :o ...I am unimpressed. * Rachel gets a hazy, unfocused look in her eyes....blank. «ooc: Rachel is Linda Blair. » Oh no...R...Rachel? O_o «ooc: We can delay actions, right? » .... « yes » What did he do to her...? «ooc: He felt her up with his bony hands. » >> Thanatos forces Rachel to laugh, her sword arm rising up, and an eerie voice unnaturally coming from her lips. «ooc: And he LIKED it. » ...Damn it! Let her go! * Rahne levels her spear, and remains protective of Cody.. * Keep on guard! If we can harm him enough, the spell should break! <> * Chrys rolls his eyes, figuring something like THIS would happen... Right, Roric. Looks like we' "Hahaha... so strong this woman... no wonder she is the knight." <> * Rachel twirls and stares at Cody, raising her sword...! * Rachel rushes forward and leaps at him, slashing cruelly! * Cody takes a step back, "Rachel...fight this...do...Agh!" * Rahne stands between Rachel & Cody.. * No! <> >> Rachel's turn. >> Rachel attacks Cody under manipulation! 84 damage! Charge at 1/4! * Rachel jumps back, her face still blank... * Cody winces and steps back, looking unfocused and bewildered. >> Rahne's turn. «ooc: How about we just arbitrarily say that Rahne's too slow to do that unless she made it her start-of-turn action? » « heh.. ^^ » «ooc: It's kind of silly to have her jumping in front of cody fruitlessly everytime anything comes near him., » «ooc: Yes, but it fits Rahne ;P » Looks like we're killing friends today after all... * Rahne casts ¤Sylvan Martyr! The ground cracks, and a small green sprout pops out; the small plant begins to grow larger, blossoming into a beautiful flower! The bloom unfurls, reavealing Dryad! Smiling warmly at Rahne, she extends her arms outwards casting a glowing yellow pollen over Rahne. "Who?" Dryad asks. * Cody...... * Dryad smiles warmly once more before vanishing, the effects of her blessing not yet apparent.. * «ooc: I KNEW she'd do that ;) » Don't be so sure! << I wanted to do it first. :P >> < Rahne...? * Chrys looks at Roric. "You realize that getting Rachel out of this spell isn't gonna be easy...you got a plan?" << I'm sucking well within my normal perameters today. ^^ >> I'm sorry, Cody.. If we go after the master, his control is bound to falter...it isn't as powerful a sorcery as Khyros' enchantment. «ooc: Rahne, no! Be strong! Think of cheesey poofs... » >> Rahne casts Sylvan Martyr! A green illusionary double of her swirls into being around Cody, protecting him... >> Tori's turn. << parameters, rather, too. ^^; >> It's...not your fault...please take care of yourself too... . o O ( What is going on...? Why am I here at all...? Is this the purelands...? Does that mean...? ) * Tori trains the fun on the Dark Lich and fires! No, but this is Thanatos we're talking about, Ror. He's got power... «ooc: train the fun! train the fun! » <> I think I know how to jolt her out of that...but first... «ooc: *hugs Tori * ^^ » «ooc: It's okay. Cody makes that kind of mistake all the time. » She won't stay like that...I owe her... * Roric begins murmuring to himself, weaving a pattern in the air with one hand. >> Tori attacks Thanatos! WHACKED! 99 damage! >> The blast causes the controlled Rachel to shudder and moan in pain.. she recieves 99 damage! «ooc: Heh, cool. » Like I said-looks like we're killing friends today after all... ...Rachel! O_o >> Tori's charge at 3/4! Keep her healthy. >> Chrys's turn. ...You were saying about it not being as powerful, Ror...? * Rachel staggers back, her face still blank despite the wound.....blood runs from a mystically opened wound on her forehead... <> * Chrys shakes his head. "Looks like it's time to bring out the old wildcard..." (m) eternalessencegreenlightheavensent... * Chrys balls his hand into a fist as it starts to glow. "Luna, sweetie, it's getting boring out here. Could you liven the party up a bit?" * Chrys opens his fist, revealing a small blue poker chip engraved with the image of Luna... he grins and flips it into the air, where it explodes into rays of moonlight, bathing the battlefield in a chaotic glow! «ooc: Hahaha. » «ooc: O_o WHY CHRYS? There's ONLY ONE PERSON? » « Oh you bum. ;) » <> «ooc: I love that spell. » «ooc: ;) It could release Rachel from the spell! I dunno! » «ooc: Thanatos gains maximum mind! » «ooc: If Thanatos kills us, I so kill you :D » <<* Rachel's strength goes up 99 stat points!>> «ooc: Just for the record, if this messes with Rachel, I will KILL YOU HORRIBLY. » *** TrueBlue (trueblue@h0010b5597444.ne.mediaone.net) has joined #Pureland «ooc: Heh. ;) I love having the spell that everyone wants to kill me thanks to » >> Chrys casts Lunar Magic! Chaotic forces whirl about everyone... «ooc: This had better be good. ^_~ » <> ...Chrys, if I turn into...a rabite...I'll be mad! >_< .... «ooc: But if I turn into a Mushboom I'll love you forever! ^_^ » «ooc: LOOK AT THOSE THINGS! Cody wouldn't love me forever, Rachel would ;) I would've changed her boyfriend into an SD dildo :P » >> Thanatos is Chibikoed but resists the effect! Rahne is unaffected. Tori gains max str! Chrys is Stunned! Roric is unaffected! Rachel gains max Spirit! Cody's Luck falls to 0! Rhiana is Petrified but resists the effect! <<....>> <> «ooc: Wow, that worked out well for me anyhow. » «ooc: ...That didn't work for me ;) » «ooc: They're gonna gang up on Cody :P » «ooc: Yeah, Storen deliberately screwed us over there I bet. ^_~ » «ooc: That means any stauts effects that hit me will work! SCREW YOU ^^ » ...hell..... << It could have been much, much worse.. >> ...Chrys. I'm mad now. >_< «ooc: Or better. Could also have been better. :D » * Chrys grabs the chip as it falls and looks at it, wondering what went wrong this time. « I did it random :) » «ooc: Ah, good. » << It's a shame the lich isn't Chibikoed. ^^; >> >> Roric's turn. «ooc: Lucky me then. » « sorry his spirit is like 40 :) » «ooc: Ack! I'm here ;D » * Roric falls to his knees. "This should help..." 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. "Do you feel the strength of ages coursing through you?" He snaps his fingers and points, and the green vanishes into Rachel's skin. Trust me... <> «ooc: "Do you feel the strength of ages..." wth » ...Roric...? «ooc: What's wrong with that? » «ooc: This should help...isn't that a Leo line? ;) » Cover us. «ooc: It's not what I'd expect from Roric. » >> Roric casts Aura Wave! «ooc: Roric dropped the accent. :) » If I can't get this next spell off, we're screwed. >> rachel's charge is at 4/4! * Chrys raises an eyebrow. "Us...?" * Roric returns to casting. <<.....O_o>> She and I. >> Niki is unconscious! * Rahne 's ears lower a bit.. she has a baaad feeling.. * There's only one way out of this... «ooc: Yay. » <> * Cody looks back to Rahne... "I think I know what Thanatos is going to do..." >> Rachel's's turn. «ooc: ...she is? » ...Um, Roric, there's a slight flaw in your little plan. Rahne! Protect yourself! She's coming! « yes... she wanetd to start that way » «ooc: Ack, she also gets a normal action? » «ooc: I would have delayed. » * Rachel turns her blank look on Rahne....and suddenly, the blankness is replaced by....fury. * Rahne nods.. * As long as you're okay.. The screams of the tortured, those left to die by love and hope, echo strongly in the walls of this mind, memories of a tortured existence...death, life, rebirth...eventually it all ends. For some, it just ends sooner. « it's okay.. » «ooc: Hrm. » * Rachel 's aura flares out suddenly, the green edged with white, and her eyes snap open to gaze upon Rahne with a look of chilling judgement. Her voice holds a low, mocking note. "¤Sadistic Whisper." Rachel lunges forward, the sword shining with fiery light as she attacks Rahne viciously! «ooc: She collasped after delivering the final blow to Khyros. ^^; » «ooc: oh well, that didn't work. » * Rahne does her best to lessen the brunt of the assault! * >> Rachel uses Sadistic Whisper on Rahne! * Cody winces visibly as he sees Rahne get plowed into... -_-; «ooc: On the other hand, I did get to see Rachel beat the shit out of Rahne. Hey, maybe she IS unpossessed now. » «ooc: LOL » ...drat...keep it together... Don't panic... >> 174 damage! * Cody whispers to hmself, "Don'tpanicdon'tpanic..." «ooc: Wow. She didn't die? :) Cool! » * Rachel leaps back, a sadistic grin on her lips... * Rahne remains on her feet, her will resolute.. * «ooc: oh, OK, that wasn't a force. So no one can blame me! » >> Cody's turn. ...You're not Rachel....You can't fool me... «ooc: Heal? ^_~ » «ooc: Question: Is niki stunned or KO? » «ooc: Healing, but need to know ^^ » * Rahne leans on her spear a bit.. * That.. wasn't as.. bad as I... thought.. ...... * Cody curls his hands together, and slowly unfurls them upwards, cupping his hands to the sky. To mother's smile and mother's sorrow, like rain and tears to life and joy. I give now my heart and love, to that strength that is within, and beyond me, from me, to you, to us, to all. * Cody opens his hands, and a pulsing globe of soft green light opens like a flower, releasing pollen and glimmer into the air. It whirls about and whispers of precious things, bringing back both strength and renewed courage to all it touches. «ooc: Man...Cody sucks. ;) » «ooc: He wasn't even suprised to see Niki. ;) » >> Cody casts Vitae soul on the party! «ooc: Niki: Oh give me a minute :p » <> «ooc: LOL. » «ooc: I'm just messin. I knew Lucca would get to it. ;) » «ooc: He just figured out he's in the pureland :P Like, give hm a few. » «ooc: And note this could heal Thanatos, so I apologize in advance :p I hope it doesn't, but Cody and rahne'll die if I don't ^^ » >> Rahne recovers 130 hp! Cody recovers all Hp! Rachel recovers 99 HP (max)! <> «ooc: Rahne's a delicate man? » «ooc: I have that song on my hard drive, actually. For once I know what you're talking about. » >> But... Rachel's wounds also heal her controller... Thanatos regains max HP! <> ....... ...Blast it...If only I was stronger... Okay. They're connected...bad thing. * Rachel 's wounds heal and her look fades to blankness once more.... «ooc: Wow, it's good that Rachel didn't get Chibikoed and Thanatos didn't get max spirit. » ...I have an idea... >> Rhiana's turn. «ooc: actually, it's bad that Rachel didn't get chibikoed, Roric ;) Then we could just ignore her » You're going fine, Cody.. You are strong.. * Cody looks tourtured, but shakes his head, "It may free her...think of how you freed me..." << ;_; >> «ooc: Lets kill Rachel, then Thanatos should die too. :D » «ooc: Hey, one of you always could. :D » «ooc: Basically, yeah. :p » .... I'm not SURE how we freed you, Cody, I was busy coughing up blood. I may be able to handle this....once I can cast...but...I'm uncertain... * Chrys casts a stony gaze towards Cody. <> * Cody looks confused and hurt, "So...I did attack you...?" «ooc: And Now Niki is out. ^_^ » * Rhiana holds up her hand, "Light of Mana, shine forth! I call upon Illumina, protector of the blessed light! May your anger rain down upon the darkness that stands before me!" * Chrys mutters something below his breath. I...I... * Rhiana goes into a pitching wind up and throws a Holy Ball! * Cody shakes his head. ..It doesn't matter, Cody.. now is what's important.. Think of now.. . o O ( Not now. Don't feel sorry for yourself now. She needs help. ) ...Okay... ..and smile.. we'll get you through this.. * Cody looks over to the side, "....Wait...isn't that...What is she doing here...?" >> Rhiana casts Holy Ball! Thanatos hates Wisp! 230 damage! «ooc: I said Illumina » [Thanatos] Grragh...! The light! «ooc: Please shoot me now » «ooc: Sorry Storen » «ooc: Does that kill Rachel? » >> Rachel also takes 230 damage! Thahnatos elaves her body as she is near death! «ooc: Least Thanatos didn't take control of Niki. Niki Dark Sabers the party. Party heals Thanatos! :D » «ooc: Ah. » ...That worked. * Rachel staggers forward, crying out! «ooc: Whew. Someone heal her again. :D » «ooc: Please. Or I'll be sad. » * Cody notices the change in Rachel's demenor, "Rachel!" Well that worked out better than expected. ...hang on....can someone heal her before he strikes again? *** TrueBlue (trueblue@h0010b5597444.ne.mediaone.net) Quit (Quit: Blip!) *** TrueBlue (trueblue@h0010b5597444.ne.mediaone.net) has left #Pureland [Thanatos] You... you will feel my boiling hatred of the millenia... «ooc: I wonder how much that would have hit Rachel for if the spell was directed at her instead of Thanatos. Rachel does have max spirit. ;) » Roric, that's kind of moot, considering I don't think we have -time-... * Rachel holds her head for a moment, stumbling back to the party dazedly....she blinks and lifts her head to gaze at Cody confusedly... >> Thanatos summons a vortex of black energy, engulfing the group! Black Curse! <> ...hnnn?! ..okay, maybe I shouldn't have hit him so hard... >> All members stats are halved! * Cody starts to speak to Rachel, but then is engulfed by nasty vibes! O-o «ooc: ...ow. » «ooc: ...fuck O_o » «ooc: Not mine. :D » « wide cast Black Curse ^^ » ...I feel..weird.. * Rachel feels weaker and winces... "....fuck....what the...." >> Rahne's turn. ...Figures. Asswipe. I... * Cody falls to his knees, more drained than he was. «ooc: Heal...or dispel that...or something...please. ^^; » «ooc: Dispell is a lovely thing O_O » << Gonna dispel, I think. ^^ >> «ooc: Go for it! » « hai :) » «ooc: Rache will lose her spirit, but...oh well. » «ooc: I'm more worried about Tori losing his Str, Roric » « well it's down to 25 now ^^ » * Rahne casts ¤Dispel! Above Rahne a swirling vortex of darkness forms above her out of which Shade emerges! The embodiment of darkness blinks once at the group, and immediately a wave of darkness washes over the battlefield dispelling any enchantments they have! Shade vanishes silently with the passing of the darkness... * «ooc: Max spirit is 50? » « yes. when I say "max" that's what I mean :) » « to go higher you need a boost spell » * Cody tries to head over to Rachel, to make sure she's okay! «ooc: Ahh, okay. I always thought the max was 99. ^^;; » « Rahne » « dispel is onyl single :) » «ooc: LOL. » «ooc: ...doh! » << Dammit.. no mass for it? >_< >> « you cannot wide yet. » «ooc: ....gh. Hmm. Who should be dispelled? » * Rachel reaches out to Cody, tugging him protectively beside her.... her voice is soft, low... "You okay...?" « you do have stardust grass peeps :) » I'm okay...you? «ooc: Which I plan to use! :) Save one for me please! » «ooc: Yes, but if we wasted time using that we'd run out and he'd just reuse it. ^_~ » A bit shaken.....but I'm still here... «ooc: Lets bring in Neydisa and have her mystic a Stardust Grass. ;) » « ^_^; » «ooc: If you're going to dispel Rachel, btw, do it *NOW*. » « brings out a Null Orb » Just keep it together...We can figure everything out after...we can do ths...we can... «ooc: or at least soon. » «ooc: *brings out a Stasis Orb* » «ooc: Like, before her action. » << Who should I be dispelling? >> «ooc: Rachel, Rahne! » «ooc: I'd say Cody or Rachel. » «ooc: Not me...I'm passed out. ^^; » * Rachel gazes at Cody, the dazedness fading to be replaced by determination.....she nods at Cody and offers him a faint smile... * Cody smiles back. * Rahne casts ¤Dispel! Above Rahne a swirling vortex of darkness forms above her out of which Shade emerges! The embodiment of darkness blinks once at Cody, and immediately a wave of darkness washes over the battlefield dispelling any enchantments he has! Shade vanishes silently with the passing of the darkness... * * Roric continues casting, dropping to one knee and conceptrating hard. «ooc: OK, Cody should dispel Rachel then. » «ooc: Well, he doesn't HAVE to... » «ooc: so long as someone heals Niki » <> «ooc: But...it'd be nice. :D » «ooc: Deal? :) » >> Rahne casts Dispel! Cody's effects are removed! Thank you, Rahne! «ooc: I sort of have my action for this round tied up, I'm afraid. » * Rahne nods, trying to smile a bit.. * «ooc: if it's an emergency, I can abort, but... » «ooc: No need. » >> Tori's turn. Shame on you..forcing me to keep this mask on... «ooc: Tori will save me! Tori is my HERO! » * Tori takes an offensive stance and fires at Dark Lich! «ooc: ;_; Tori sucks ass! » «ooc: j/k » «ooc: Tori is cool. » <> «ooc: Heh. » * Rachel takes a deep breath and turns to glare at the Dark Lich, raising her sword steadily....she readies herself for her attack... «ooc: At least Cody is almost faster than all of you :D » «ooc: I need to be faster. Foo. » «ooc: But your cannon fodder with 0 luc...wait n/m you got dispelled. » >> Tori fires upon Thanatos! 104 damage! >> Charge at 4/4! << I need to reach a permanent Speedy state, so I can cast two uppers a turn. :P >> >> Chrys recoevrs from his stunned state.. >> Roric's turn. * Cody rummages through his bag. «ooc: Rachel goes next, right? » « yes :) » Cody...are you removing the magic's effects from Rachel? * Cody nods. ...Rache... * Roric glances sideways at Rachel. * Rachel glances at Roric... D'you trust me? * Rachel nods. "With my life." ...then wait for my signal before you act. I...have a plan. * Rachel nods again, flicking her eyes back to the Dark Lich... * Roric delays. «ooc: *** Roric is now known as Leonardo Dicrapio. » «ooc: ...Uh? O_o » «ooc: EVIL! >_< » >> Roric delays his action. >> Rachel's turn. «ooc: I'm FLYING, Roric! » «ooc: if the lich sticks his head in between us and kicks our ass now, i will be UNHAPPY. » <> «ooc: I really hope this works. >_< » * Rachel delays as well.. <> «ooc: if he does, no one will ever talk to Roric ever again. » >> Rachel delays her action... >> Cody's turn. «ooc: Naw, he'd take control of your body and make you stab yourself 100 times. » «ooc: Whew. » * Cody pulls out what appears to be a Stardust Grass from his satchel, and applies it to Rachel, "Don't let him break your spirit...stay strong... « Cody un cursed is faster than Thanatos :) » «ooc: Huh. It WAS good of Rahne to uncurse him, then. Whew. » >> Cody uses a Stardust Grass! the essence purges Rachel of her curse. :) «ooc: i'm taking my action now. » * Rachel closes her eyes for a moment, feeling the rush as her spirit is restored to normal along with her other stats. ^^ "....thank you, stud....much better...." « two left » «ooc: Huh? » * Cody smiles at her. ^^ «ooc: oh. » «ooc: SGs » « grasses :) » * Roric finishes his incantation...a ball of light forms in his hands, then vanishes, blown away on the wind. * Roric stands. The air falls silent. 'Ey...Rache. * Rachel winks at Cody before turning to Roric. "Mm?" «ooc: This will take a minute., » It's the end of the world...let's set th'sky aflame. * Roric suddenly thrusts both hands into the air. "Immutable flow of the earth mother's everlasting life! On this day of reckoning, split the sky asunder and pour forth the vitae of the goddess herself!" «ooc: Not done yet. » * Roric screams, a visceral, deep scream that seems to shake the very air with the force of his anguish. Bittersweet memories and ancient convictions bubble forth from the depths of his soul, roiling out of his mouth and into the sky above. His skin becomes hard and dark, then cracks and peels, wrinkling and splitting like the bark of a tree older than the remembrance of man. * Roric slowly lifts off the ground, hanging suspended by gossamer threads of soul. His eyes no longer exist, merely windows to the searing, blinding light that shines forth from inside him. A deafening crack splits the sky, and black clouds bubble forth from nothingness, sizzling with pent-up energy. >> The sounds of battle are abruptly drowned out in a thunderclap that shakes the land to its core, as a winding bolt of lightning streaks down to impale Rachel. The mourning sky weeps pure electric light as Rachel is struck again and again, the air around her a sizzling fog of charged energy. * Cody steps back a bit, "Good goddess...what is he...?" * Roric falls to the ground suddenly, and the clouds fade as though they never were. The lightning strikes cease, leaving Rachel unharmed but smoking and crackling with inner light. The Mana Sword is now a blazing firebrand, and vast waves of green energy ripple out of her with her every movement. [Thanatos] So you know the rites of the sword. But I'm afraid it won't work in your feeble state, Gemma warrior... * Rachel inhales sharply, her eyes glowing bright...! << And I was worried about the length of Eclipse Beam. ^^; >> * Roric pushes himself to all fours. I...don't need...the full thing... To defeat...the likes of you... Roric... * Rachel turns to face Thanatos, her smile peaceful.....but wicked at the same time. "I think you're about to hurt real bad." «ooc: LOL ^^ » >> Roric attemps to summon the Mana Magic! The power gathered is not enough... but the very land itself lends strength to the Claymore, as it shines with light! <> ...now! * Rachel rushes forward and she violently attempts to skewer Thanatos on the blade of the sword, pushing it past the soft flesh of the stomach to find a home within Thanatos's body! Trapped within a barrier of flesh and bone, death awaits your wicked heart... * Rachel 's blade pulses with a white heat and burns Thanatos from the inside out, the smell of burnt flesh filling the air briefly as she yanks the blade free once more. Vicious Intentions. >> Rachel weapon level up 1! Becomes Spirit aligned! ...I missed something, but all I know is this is good news for us. O_o <> <> <> ...The Mana Sword of legend...Incredible... *** Edelritter (hikari@164.77.129.228) has joined #Pureland No...it isn't, Cody... it still isn't awakened...it doesn't...it doesn't feel strong enough... >> Rachel's turn. « gah » << Actually, right now it's just the Herald. ^^; Rahne: Wow... the Herald... >> >> Rachel charges Thanatos with her full power, embedding the Mana sword somewhere deep within his corporeal form... 398 damage! <> <> <> Still...Wow... << It gained a Weapon level. ^_^ >> <> «ooc: It's the BIG POINTY STICK NOW >:P~~~ » [Thanatos] Arrgh... you meddling fool! You fight for a cause that has always been doomed since the dawn of time! << Maybe it's the Excalibur then.. I remember not. ^^; >> * Rachel lunges back to the group, seeming as if doubled or even tripled in form, glimmering with a green glow... ...gives me...somethin'...ta do. Our cause isn't doomed! You are! Give it up! [Thanatos] You shall lose everything you have ever loved... just as I once did... the land will be rent asunder by the unstoppabale Chaos! * Rahne comes to take up a defiant stand next to Cody. * >> Thanatos glares at Rhiana. "You... you can channel magic well. Let me show you true power..." >> Rhiana is possessed! That's quite okaa....crap ... ...Rhi...Too late... * Roric stands. "You're a bit late, friend. I don't have anything left to lose." .... * Chrys shrugs. "Ah well. Let's just keep at it. We can heal Rhiana after the spell is broken, okay?" ...I hate to say it but...It seems that the weaker the host gets...the weaker the spell... I'm sorry in advance...Rhiana... «ooc: Maybe its a good think he used Black Curse. ^^; » «ooc: It would have been funny if he possessed Chrys and cast Lunar magic. But I know Storen wouldn't do that. :D » «ooc: I would ;) » <<...I'm still only at 18 health ;)>> «ooc: So...I'm unconscious! » ...Cody. He shares her health. Attack him. That way you only damage her body, instead of her trust. ...God, I can't believe I'm so damn serious right now. >> Rhiana's eyes glow with a dark fire, as the awareness from the ages floods her mind. * Cody nods quietly, "Please take care of Rachel and Niki. I won't forgive him for...everything. He's mine." * Rhiana glares at the party..her eyes glowing black... * Rhiana throws up her hands, "Power which has existed from the begining of time..." .... «ooc: Rhiana casts Ancient! The party dies! » Cody....stay focused...! ...If I live through this...He's mine. But that looks rather unlikely now! O_o * Rachel sounds as if she knows she's about to fall. ^^; I'll do whatever it takes to keep you on your feet Cody... I... I... * Rhiana 's hair flows wildly around as a black tornado begins to swirl around her, "I offer my very soul in exchange for your power..." * Rahne trails off, her feelings in vain.. * Rahne...I know...You've done a great job...No! Rhiana! Don't! O_o «ooc: I smell a Blaze of Glory coming up. ;) » <> « actually this isn't True Ancient.. but.. you're going to owie. ^^ » * Chrys tenses. "This is a bit of trouble." < You can't Rhiana! You'll loose your soul and life will just...just...suck! << No point in Blazing. ^^; The Gun's gonna go off before I get the Kevlar on. ^^; >> ...seems like it was kinda pointless, Roric...but it was very pretty. ^^; ...nothing we do is pointless. * Roric grins. * Rachel unhooks her shield smoothly and raises it... It was still very pretty. ^_- Stop bitching like you're about to die, people...It's all a matter of whether or not we want to keep standing... «ooc: Now, someone heal her so I don't need to recast that if she dies. ^_~ Actually, it really WAS good that he BC'ed. @_@ » * Rhiana snaps her hands foward, "May the fools who question your power be overwelmed by your great power. Let us walk the path of chaos and destruction together!" Let's not and say we did! «ooc: /me mentally notes that he over used power » * Rahne cracks a smile for a moment, before re-readying her weapon. * ^^; * Rachel glances at Cody, her eyes lightened with the power of the Mana in her veins...she chuckles despite herself.. ^^; * Rhiana 's hands are pulsating with blackness as she lets go of the frightful aura into the party, "Ancient!" >> Rhiana casts Ancient upon the battlefield! :o Unabated pwoer explodes outward, through the cores of your being.. but somehow it doesn't feel like the first time.. <> * Cody didn't feel it the first time, but he screams out anyway. ^_^ « agh ^^ » «ooc: Did I just fuck the party? :D » «ooc: That was BAD, Rache. » «ooc: Rachel, I love you ;) » <> «ooc: ;) ;P » >> Rahne: 147! Tori: 149! Chrys: 124! Roric: 150! Cody 139! «ooc: Whew. » <> «ooc: if he'd done that as his preemptive round 1 action, we'd be like dead. » >> The evil energy strikes at Rachel, but it dissappates as the sword shines... * Chrys gets blown back by the spell, landing with a sickening *crack* «ooc: Awww...that sucked...I thought I was casting a killer spell. » * Rachel blinks a few times as the sword protects her...! «ooc: You were, but you have a mind of like 10. » >> Rhiana is damaged by the casting.. 100 damage! << I think I am slain, unless I gained some Hp somewhere. >> * Chrys sits up, coughing up a gout of blood. "I'm alright... I'm okay...see...?" ....I rather like this spell. * Rhiana screams out in pain, all stiff and zombie like * Cody is thrown down to the ground, a good stream of blood sliding down the side of his head. « see :) » * Rachel blinks and narrows her eyes as she watches her friends get brutalized. ^^; Cody...Rahne...you two still okay...? Y...Yes... >> Rahne's turn. ...not...good enough...! * Cody painfully pulls himself up. <> «ooc: ^^ I go after rahne, right? I go? I mean, everyone else is cursed. :o » I.. I'm not sure..

Niki's ring only manages to glow warmly, but nothing issues forth from Flora. * Cody smiles a greatful smile. * Chrys sighs and looks at the party, putting his daggers away and walking off. "You did fine, Cody. You did better than I could have. Besides...the world still NEEDS you..." I...I know... * Rachel sheathes her sword... I wish I could say a proper goodbye to you all, but time is short. I can feel it.. Rachel's sword dulls, returning to it's normal color. It almost feels cold at the hilt as she sheathes it. Cody...?

The falls nearby start gushing water in a danegrous torrent.. unlike the calm flow previously.. * Rachel rushes forward to Cody, skidding to a stop beside him.... ...what is happening? * Rachel then looks around, scared... I...Something...Oh goddess...My body...my body...It's...Oh godddess... * Roric draws his weapon once again. "What is this!? If there's anyone else here who needs an asskicking, he'd better come out now!" «ooc: The energy is being fed back into his body! ...I knew this was going to happen. » The land...It's crying...It's screaming!! «ooc: That's right, Cody! I'm your goddess! Say it bitch! » * Rahne looks panicked.. * Cody.. ! The plants around you seem to ebcome brown, the life draining from them, and the earth tremors. The skies become overcast... Okay..who's been playing with the mana seeds... I think maybe we celebrated victory a little prematurely... * Cody tries to sit up, screaming in agony as another wave of pain rushes through him! O_o «ooc: Well excuse me for playing an intelligent character ;) » « going to cut for a brief moment » * Rachel growls helplessly before dropping to her knees to try and comfort Cody..! «ooc: Saying "I knew this would happen" all the time isn't necessarily intelligence. ^_~ » <> «ooc: Kay... » «ooc: Kay even though me and Niki aren't technically in the scene » * Rahne looks on desperately, wanting to cradle her friend and comfort him, but can't.. * «ooc: So my character gets smart while everyone else bumps into each other and talks about sex, go fig » >> Meanwhile... at the Plant palace... «ooc: And at the bat cave... » «ooc: At Statly Wayne Manor. » «ooc: Stately. ^^; » >> The Mana Seed rises off the stage, glowing a wild energy and cracking, as Flora and Dryad look on in horror.. «ooc: Heheheh.

We'll blame Rachel for something else. » <> >> All around the world, the other Palaces mirror the same thing... is the apocalypse coming to pass? >> Back at the Pureland... «ooc: Rachel was the gunman on the grassy knoll! » «ooc: LOL » Oh goddess...this...this is all...My fault...I...g...aaagh...!

Fuck you! ;) » «ooc: >> Cody's head melts from the extreme heat. ;) » * Rachel flinches away from the lava, eyes widening.... * Cody pitches over, "Oh goddess...I'm burning...I'm burning..." * Rahne stands there helplessly, her hands clasped together, unable to do anything for the one she loves.. * Cody.. Okay, this is rapidly moving up on the "bad" meter. Can we take a course of action here? ....okay, right now I'm thinkin' it might be a good time to leave. <> All aroudn you the serene land is turning into a hellish chaos, the elementals running wild.. you cannot remain here. o_o Gotta...get...out of...h...here... I agree. Angst and despair late, running now. * Rachel reaches out to try and pick up Cody..! Rachel! Rahne! Get Cody! A tree is broken in two and collapses in front of Niki, blocking her path! <> * Roric drags his weary bones back into an offensive stance, looking to block anything dangerous coming the way of the group. C'mon, stud, up you get...! * Cody shudders in Rachel's arms, and feels warm to the touch. Very warm. O_o Come on mana spirits, don't fail me now... «ooc: Heee...her boobies are in my face » * Rachel hugs Cody protectively against her body and starts back for the group. "LET'S MOVE IT!" << Rahne won't fight Rachel. :/ >> «ooc: Rhiana: More like warm as in body :P » I'd say you can consider yourself failed! Let's hope your feet are more reliable! Let's go. Otherwise you're about to become a perminant resident * Niki starts hacking away at the tree, to chop it in half. "Lemme through!" * Roric waits for Rachel to get back, then sets off in the direction of the dragon glade. The falls gush more water, flooding the glade with a tidal wave that crashes into the large stump and submerges it, cascading across to the group.. * Rahne surveys the collapsing area, and considers for a moment that she might actually like staying.. * * Chrys bites his lip. "Niki! We have to find another way!" «ooc: ...And Rahne gets her angst fill. » <> «ooc: We can end session now » « not yet.. » « it's at your backs ;) » * Cody begins to shiver widly in Rachel's arms, "Drowning...freezing...Hurry...get away get away..." Get a move on! But this is the only way...I remember. * Roric looks back for a fraction of a second, then glares at the sky as he breaks into a run. DAMMIT, AM I DYING TODAY OR NOT!? MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND, WOMAN! «ooc: wildly » Niki tries to chop at the fallen tree, clearing it.. a path to safer ground looms past it! * Rhiana takes off in a dead sprint * Rachel yells as she moves! "Rahne! MOVE YOUR FUZZY BEHIND!" Rahne! Run! R...Aggggggggh!! * Cody curls up in Rachel's arms, screaming in pain! Guess chopping down trees for a long time made me good at it. * Rahne blinks, and takes one last look, before turning to go.. * Goddess... Cody... * Niki starts up the path. * Chrys follows after Niki, hoping they can meet up with the others after they get off this broken hunk of mana junk! * Tori takes off down the path in a sprint. Undine! Can you buy us some time? * Rachel follows Niki, but slows to wait for Rahne.. -_- There is no response... ....okay..this is now really high on the bad meter Ohgoddessohgoddessohdgoddess make it stop make it stop makeitstopmakeitstopmakeitstop... * Niki turns to notice the gushing water and the party. "No...it all happening... «ooc: " » The group heads down the path, but what they remembered leading them here seems to have shifted, a huge fissure in the ground blocking it! * Rahne catches up.. * Why did you wait? Go, Rachel, go! You've more important things to worry about than me. «ooc: How huge is huge? » « jumpable, barely. » * Rachel growls at Rahne. "Shut up and move. NOBODY is dying today. Not you. Not him. NOBODY. Let's GO." * Cody closes his eyes, feeling dizzy and unsteady. * Niki turns around and heads back to the party. "Everyone hurry up! Go!" «ooc: " » «ooc: -_- » * Rachel holds Cody closer as she dashes, ignoring the burning heat! * Roric takes a flying leap across the chasm without even stopping to gauge the distance. he ground beneath your shifts tilts... * Chrys starts into a sprint as he sees the fissure in the distance and leaps off at the very edge, trying to clear it! « gah » * Rhiana leaps across The ground beneath your feet shifts & tilts... Everything is breaking up everything everything... It falls away just as you reach the other side. :o * Rhiana looks down as she's in mid-air, "...yipe..." Grrhh..! * Tori doesn't even slow down, pushes off the collapsing edge, and hits the other side running. * Cody 's face is beginning to become quite bathed in sweat, looking extremely feverish * Niki jumps off the edge of the land as it falls away from her feet, reaching the other side. The wave behind you flows into the fault in the land, out of harm's way. * Chrys is running alongside Tori and Roric, looking somewhat pissed off...? * Rachel looks down at Cody as she moves, unsure of what to do....she makes sure Rahne is following as well, however. You find yourselevs running down a tiled causeway, several arches collapsed, and sinking beneath the roaring lake. * Roric keeps running, not about to stop until he hits something he can't cross. The wind howls, nearly blowing you off into the raging waters.. «ooc: >> Roric runs into a wall. » * Cody screams out in pain as his body is suddenly cut and knicked all over by an unseen wind! O_o «ooc: stigmata! :D » Cody..! Damnit! «ooc: Aw, an unseen wind? » Stop it! Please stop it!

That'd be more fun » <> «ooc: Actually, you're right. make it the wind ;) » «ooc: Don't ;) » ..... Anyone have any ideas on how we get out of this? * Niki runs up to everyone. "We need to get off of here." We're gonna run out of land, eventually... * Niki looks at Rhiana. "I do!" The bridge holds thankfully, as you reach the area near the teleporter and the colliseum. But just as you stride into it, the sun above becomes eclipsed, bathing everything in darkness * Cody clutches at his eyes!! «ooc: What the heck are you gonna do for moon, storen? The moon falls on us? » I can't see...It hurts...I can't...darkness no way out no way out... Rachel..where are you?! I can't see! Roric, put on your Mystere mask and do something heroic already@! You pick your way to the small shrine, still standing. I'm...I'm right here, Cody.... I'm here... * Roric elects to save his breath for running. * Rachel hugs Cody tighter to her, her legs aching as she continues to move.... The pad flickers in a dangerous light... but it's the onyl escape. Everybody on..! Hurry up! * Chrys leaps onto the pad No arguments here! Gah...! A brightness...inside my skull...Oh goddess...Oh.... * Roric leaps onto the glowing symbol without question. * Niki steps on the pad. * Cody begins to sound like he's slipping away, a drowsy fatigue spreading over him * Rahne steps onto the pad, chocking back tears at Cody's wailing.. Unable to do anything.. * * Tori skids to a stop as reaches the seal and steps on. * Rachel waits for everyone to get on before she does..... Well, I don't know about any of you..but I could use an explination The power of the seal glows and wisks you away.. just as a huge slab of the ruin falls upon itself. <> «ooc: 'n munch :D » * Chrys is almost a pancake! But he's not! Yay! ...I think! An intense vertigo fills your vision before you land, disorientingly at the exit. * Cody screams out in pain, clutching one of his hands! Who cares about the stupid colors...run! Let's not lolly gag about...we've angered the mana spirits or something... Oh goddess! Can't you all see?! My hand is burning away! I can't let the bauble go! I can't let it go I can't!! * Rachel blinks and staggers as Cody flails. « hmm ^^ » * Chrys runs now! * Cody begins to sound like he's hallucenating or something. * Cody begins to scratch wildly at his hand! O_o «ooc: I can't live without Rachel's big toe! Smell the walrus! God, it's licking my hand! » «ooc: He's not insane ;) » The garden here seems less torn up, but as you pass the environs, the plants wilt away, becoming sickly and deformed. «ooc: That's debatable. » «ooc: Hey, didn't Locke draw an escape scene like this? ;) » * Rachel growls and shifts her balance to grab Cody's hand, stopping him from tearing his other hand up with his nails...she continues onwards.. "Nnnh...s...stop!" * Cody stops straching and holds on to Rachel, suddenly becoming nausous and strange reddish welts appearing on his body «ooc: scratching » <> Several rabites flee, only to fall dead in place. <> « He did :) » «ooc: Nah, just his reaction to plant. S'like he got poisoned or something ^^ » * Chrys keeps running, ignoring the narcoleptic rabites and Cody the human rash <> «ooc: For Moon, Cody should start going through all the effects that can be placed upon the party by Chrys' Lunar Magic. » * Rachel blinks as Cody hangs onto her suddenly and tries to ignore the look of the welts....she pants softly, her energy almost shot... «ooc: Wanna see! » <> «ooc: Lemme find it » The falls appear before you, the water flowing downward to the earth below with an angry crash... «ooc: Niki: Well, YEAH, but that'd be annoying :p » «ooc: Cody: I'd be fun. :D » «ooc: I thought vertigo was moon. » Almost...there...we're almost...there!! «ooc: Roric: He saw halluciations. ^^ » «ooc: for moon » * Chrys jumps!

"Use the drum!" * Tori leaps after the others, holding onto his cap as he jumps. * Rhiana fights it as much as she can, but is not nearly as athletically gifted as she is magically..and falls into the water As you spiral downward to the sacred mountain, you can see all around nothing but devestation, hundreds of soldiers unmoving... the and cracks and shifts, sending all who are standing, vandole or not, running for the ships in desperation, three of which have capsized. « er the land » * Chrys pulls out the drum and twirls it, hoping Flammie can still hear it, despite everything having to do with Mana going to hell! * Cody manages to open his eyes, and moans, "Desctruction...all my fault I'm a failure I'm a failure...." <> Flammie appears in the horizon, but the winds pick up and she is blown backwards out of range... Oh gods....!! Well that worked! Hells! Any better ideas, Niki? Umm... You fall into the foam at the fall's base.. <<...Mikey would be proud.>> * Chrys goes *splash* «ooc: Hee. » * Niki plunges into the water. * Rahne clambers out, drenched and wretched. * Nearby you can spot King Elman trying to hold his daughetr Purim in his hands. She cries out in pain, for Etienne... [Elman] Purim.. hold on.. hold on... ...Mamma...I...I hear her.... * Rachel slams into the water, feeling it close around her painfully before she surges up out of it....still holding Cody...she tugs them both out onto the land, panting softly... * Chrys pulls himself out of the water, looking half as drenched and twice as wreched as Rahne ....rrh.....hh... I gotta...I gotta...I gotta go to h...her... [Purim] Etienne.. Etienne.. I have to save... rrrg.. him... * Niki climbs out of the water and starts to continue forward. After a few steps she stops..."Hey...where's Keylia?" * Roric bursts out of the water, struggling his way to land. * Rachel snaps her head up at the mention of Keylia's name, looking about... * Cody curls up a bit as another spasm of pain courses through him, he manages to use his remaing strength to stagger towards Purim's voice. * Niki also looks around. I'd say she's wet, given our current situation You notice many scorch marks on the ground... a fair distance away a green cloth flaps in the breeze on the ground. Keylia? ....Keylia... * Rachel rushes for the cloth.. * Niki picks up the cloth and looks at it. «ooc: MINE! ;) » Niki..? Do you...is...where...? «ooc: Give it to Rachel. » «ooc: She posed first anyhow. » * Rahne goes to steady Cody, and help him to reach Purim.. * Cody.. <> * Niki falls to her knees.

(q) "We don't have time for this...we're all gonna become little specks of ash if we don't get out of here soon..." * Cody kneels down next to his mother, still trembling, "Mom...I..I'm here..." Niki & Rachel notice it's torn, another larger lump nearby. «ooc: it's keylia's HEAD » * Rachel heads for the larger lump... «ooc: It's Keylia's ...DAMN YOU, CODY » <<...how mean, Cody ;_; No love for you :o>> «ooc: ;D I kid.

A fissure erupts into being near the group, forcing Elman to nearly fall backwards, and Purim slides out of his graps to the other side. o_o MOM! O_o * Cody tries to reach out for her! * Rahne holds onto Cody! * O_o Cody is held back, the gap widening into an uncrossable chasm. N...No... .... Everyone I love is dead Everyone I love will die everyone everyone everyone everyone... Cody! If we die, we die, but ...we may still have a chance to get out of here. We can mourn the dead, or we can join them! * Cody suddenly doubles over in horrific pain before falling over completely, going into what appears to be a seizure! O_o ....damn it! Cody! Cody no! * Rachel turns back in time to see the scene and heads for Cody at a run.. "Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck..." Elman tries to think of some way to cross, his anger peaking. "curse this world! Etienne.. we cannot reach her... we have to leave this place as much as it pains me to do so!" * Rahne tries to hold Cody still.. * Cody... «ooc: Sorry grandpappy, I'm seizing! » <> As Rachel runs away, she leaves keylia's armor on the ground, not noticing a small green glow emerging from it. * Cody 's eyes roll into his head and it's quite obvious he's not conscious anymore. He feels unbareably warm. <<....lie, Storen ;_; Damn you ^^>> « I was going to cut dangit ;) » * Rahne hugs him close, and tries to pull him back a safer distance.. * Cody.. «ooc: I get to get it. :o » <> «ooc: You have that old shield. ;) » * Roric rushes to the king's side. "Hey. You want to get us out of here while we have a chance?" Elman signals to the dozen soldiers left and tries to pull Rahne and Cody away from the chasm, a single tear falling from his aged brow. «ooc: Bah, give the story items to Chrys or Rhi or me. We have none, sad us. » * Niki looks up and notices the armor. She walks over to it and starts hugging it. «ooc: Chrys doesn't need any. Yet. » <> « o_o » «ooc: Niki: Armor! You'll be my new friend! » «ooc: Damn you. I'm trying to be sad. You all suck. ;_; » «ooc: Sorry :( » << Woo hoo! Keeping up my level of suckiness for doing nothing but being kind! ^_^ >> «ooc: You want suckiness! I have no magic :D » * Niki continues to hug the armor as a few tears hit the ground. As Niki hugs the armor, it cracks from it's battle scars and falls apart. A small flash is seen, that soon evaporates. «ooc: GRAGH SHE DID! SHE SMOOSHED WHAT WAS LEFT OF KEYLIA ;_; » <> <> * Niki leans forward as the armor crumbles, speaking ever so quietly...her eyes still teary. "....no..." * Rhiana sighs deeply... Rahne....is he.... Unconcious.. still feverish though... * Cody is still trembling, and feeling very warm to the touch, his breathing labored. The ships in the distance begin to pull away, the wind wracking their sails... in teh retreating Vandole forces, Rhiana can spot Friedrich upon the ground not far away, a familiar face hugging him. ..Oh Goddess.. We need to get out of here.. someplace safer.. [Sophia] No.. daddy! No! You can't leave me yet! «ooc: I am NOT hugging Friedrice! O_o » «ooc: ...OH. Gotcha. » * Rhiana watches silently. * Rachel nods.. "Yes...we do.....we will...just...god, everything is chaotic.." * Tori passes behind Niki, but doesn't bother to stop or even look at her. "You don't have the luxury of being a child right now. Take your memento and focus on who's still alive." «ooc: You will if I tell you to,Chrys! *snaps whip* » «ooc: ...I see what Rache was saying. Ew. » «ooc: *hides from the lusting Rhiana* » «ooc: :P » * Rahne whispers into Cody's ear.. * Hold on just a bit longer.. I know you can.. everything's gonna be okay.. * Rhiana walks over to her sister and father Everything is burning...everything is melting away...can't you....see? Everything... [Sophia] *tears in her eyes as she barks out orders to the last soldiers* Finish the retreat... you heard me! Go! * Niki continues to sit in front of the broken armor pieces...not moving. ...what is going on here, sister? * Roric gradually calms, reminding himself that in a situation like this, whatever happens will happen. Sophia looks up. "Rhiana.... this is it.. we've lost.... we've lost the world.. and daddy..." Where is he going? * Rahne cradles her friend, brushing a few stray locks out of his eyes.. * Shhh... no.. «ooc: Or is he already dead? » « Rhiana's she's hugging his rather prone form now ^^ » «ooc: ...scratch that » * Rhiana sighs, "I'm sorry Sophia..." I did what I could...but I wasn't strong enough... Friedirch lies motionless, a hole in his finely polished breastplate visible from where he took the hit for Julius. * Rahne speaks softly. * Rest for now.. the world's worries aren't yours.. A..ahh....oooh... «ooc: * Chrys sails away with the Vandole peeps as Mt Illusia collapses on the party » [Sophia] I'll take him home... it's all I can do.. I'm the leader now... <> * Tori stops just past Niki and looks over his shoulder. . . . You've got a sister and a family, Niki. That's more then what a lot of people have. You can Cry for your friend, but You have to remember that you do still have people that care about you. Yes...you are...and I know you can do just as good of a job as our father..if not better. * Rahne keeps absently stroking Cody's hair, speaking soft soothing words to him while the others plan the next move.. * (quietly, almost a whisper) They're coming...snaking...crawling...beasts...horrible beasts...horrible....Everything...ashes... As the party enars the shores, the image of a huge ship fades into view of the chaotic shore. ..I don't know what I can do from here.. * Niki doesn't move, barely speaking. "Leave me...alone....." «ooc: We're nearing the shores? » «ooc: I'm not. ^^;; » «ooc: Did we ditch Niki and Rhi? » « Uhh.. well.. whoever is moving. » <> «ooc: I haven't moved from where Keylia's armor broke down. ^^; » «ooc: I thought I was moving with my sis » «ooc: Or at my Dad's bod » << I thought we were on the shores. ^^; >> I'm not going to play parent here, little girl. If you want to die here, fine. But you'd just be proving what a selfish brat you can be to give up when you still have people waiting to see you again. * Chrys whistles for the rest of the party, at the shore. "Hey, guys! I'd suggest we get the HELL out of here before the mountain collapses on us!" ... Rahne... Take Cody to the boat... * Tori starts walking for the shore. Kay.. Let us go my sister...we have to make plans.. [Sophia] There's one way Rhiana. That vessel in the distance, you see it? Del Marr followed us here... if Vandole stays they'll fire... * Niki lays down on the ground, the armor pieces scattered around her...Niki holding one piece, her eyes still full of tears. * Roric nods at chrys's suggestion. "That's not a bad idea." Ror...go... everyone..! Move it..! Burning... ..they'll...fire? * Roric heads for the ship. As in attack us? * Rachel heads for Niki quickly... * Rahne tries to hoist Cody up a bit, with some difficulty, but at least gently.. * We're gonna.. get you.. someplace.. safe. <> Sophia tries to get her father off the ground, struggling. "They are the masters of the seas.. if anyone can protect the gemma now, it is them! Go!" Niki... ...I will see you again my Sister..please....be careful. * Rachel looks about as she realizes everyone is leaving...and she stoops down, gazing intently at Niki... Sophia retreats to the last ship, the waves nearly knocking the splendorous Glaive on it's side. * Niki doesn't move an inch. * Cody cries out softly, before going quiet and somewhat limp, but still breathing, if labored. * Rhiana heads off with the others. .....Niki....we need to go now... << Heh. ^^; It's hard to carry people when everyone is bigger than you. ^^;; But it's Cody, so she's not complaining. ^^;; >> <> * Niki softly speaks. "I...I'm staying here with Keylia." .... * Rahne keeps talking as she brings Cody along.. * I'm.. really.. sorry about.. this.. I wouldn't have.. moved you.. if it wasn't.. important.. * Rhiana faintly calls out to random mana spirits as she heads to the shores..seeing if anyone will answer her call * Rachel closes her eyes, pain etching across her face... -_- .... * Rachel opens them. Niki...we can take the pieces of armor with us....but we need to go.. * Chrys calls out, voice strained. "...Rache! Niki! Come on!" * Rachel glances towards the ship, determined not to leave Niki... I...don't want the armor pieces. I wanna see Keylia. As Rachel and Niki delay at the spot, the glow returns... dancing in the air up from the pieces. ....? * Rachel blinks at the glow... "What the..." * Chrys shakes his head and instead rushes to Rahne to help her with Cody. [Voice] Can't go without me for ocne second can you, kiddo? * Rachel 's heart stops for a moment and she forces herself to breathe. :p * Niki looks at the glow a little...her face full of tears. "Keylia?" «ooc: I assume that we should just shut up except for Rache and Niki ;) » <> The glow begisn to take shape into that of a tiny fairy, with wings that shine like a irredescnet jade. «ooc: Awwww, man! » * Rahne is able to speak a little easier with her burden lightened.. * We need to get on a ship or something.. someplace where I can actually attend to him.. he's burning up really badly.. ...Emerald... Your not Keylia... «ooc: You're. ;) You're, Dek. » * Niki looks at a piece of the broken armor. * Cody begins to tremble again. That ship out there is the Del Marr....we need to get out there.. [Emerald] You're right. I'm not Keylia. She died a long, long time ago... but it's what's inside that alwasy counts, right? You think I'd just up and leave you? * Chrys nods. "You gonna be okay, Rahne...?" * Rahne tries to soothe Cody while asking Rhiana. * How are we doing that? ..I don't know... I don't care...I wanna see Keylia. I'd be better if we could get Cody someplace safe.. but I'll make due.. * Rachel looks behind her at the ship and then at Emerald and Niki..... Without my magic, there's nothing I can do... * Niki looks down at the ground as a tear drops from her cheek. * Cody begins to sob brokenly , mostly to himself, "Failure Failure...Oh goddess it hurts...Failure...I am...I am..." Emerald flutters over to Rachel, as she can make out the faint features of her face. ...Cody... * Chrys sighs * Rachel blinks and gazes at the fairy, resisting the odd urge to just...laugh...endlessly... O_o * Rahne sets Cody down, cradling him again; speaking in soothing tones.. * No.. no.. you didn't fail.. [Emerald] Stop mourning already! I'm still kicking, but you won't be if you don't hustle! Failure...I am...always was...always... * Rhiana sighs deeply You're right... fuck...! * Rachel looks down at Niki.. "Kiddo...I'm sorry...but...if you don't move... I'm gonna hafta carry you..." No.. no, you never were.. why do you think I liked you so much? You win at everything.. you'll win here, too.. <<....if I have to fight Niki, I will gnaw my arm off into a stub. ^^;>> * Niki lays back down on the ground, holding an armor shard. "I don't care if your kicking...I wanna see Keylia." * Cody doesn't sany anyhting more, he just sobs deleriously. .... Gh... Cody needs a little more than a safe place to rest... * Rachel looks at the back of Niki's head, picturing what it would take to knock her out. -_- «ooc: No!

Read Bill Cosby's Parenthood? >> < «ooc: LOL. » << Call the National Fatherhood Institute? >> .... Niki... «ooc: Have emeerald mention she bought that green necklace for her :) » «ooc: No. ^^; » I just saw Keylia run onto the ship! * Rachel resists the urge to say 'naked, too!' «ooc: LOL » *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP-156-12.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) Quit (Ping timeout) *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP-156-12.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) has left #Pureland * Niki doesn't say anything or move at all. <<...I'm going to kill myself. :D Niki...how...the...hell... ^^;>> *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP-156-130.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) has joined #Pureland «ooc: Just kick her ass and take her along. » ...sigh... * Cody cries out in pain softly, holding on tightly to Rahne. [Emerald] Ok Niki, fine be that way... and here I was going to tell you how you could see her again... *whistles and flutetrs off* * Rachel blinks at Emerald. O_o * Rahne holds him close.. * Just a bit longer, Cody.. Just a bit longer, then we'll be away from this place. It's not gonna work...fuck.... -_- Alright, screw the subdued nice girl approach.... * Rachel reaches out to grab Niki, trying to pull her away.. The ship you saw before pokes out of the fog, riding upon the waves on a direct course for the mountain. As it draws near youc an see it is not one large ship, but a vertible floating fortress of many many fleets put together. An awe to behold... * Chrys looks at Rahne and sighs inwardly, trying to wave the ships down * Niki just lies on the ground as the armor shards start to become farther away from her. She wide eyes then forcefully pushes away from Rachel. "NOO!" .... * Rhiana just stands there...disgusted * Niki kneels back down next to the armor pieces and starts picking them up. «ooc: USE CODY's SLEEPING WEED :O » «ooc: I think I'll go to bed, this could take a while. ^_~ » «ooc: LOL » ..... * Rachel clenches a fist and raises it... ^^; .... «ooc: I was thinking that too Roric, and I have to work tomorrow moring ;) » I... I want to keep these. * Rachel drops her fist and nods. "Okay." «ooc: Meanwhile, Cody dies from overexposure. ;) » [Emerald] Niki... if you want them so badly... We can get you into a nice warm bed.. and clean you up.. get a cool cloth on your forehead.. and do whatever it takes to get you back up to snuff.. <> «ooc: Overexposure to what? Rahne? » «ooc: LOL. ;) Well... » <> «ooc: JK ^^ » The peices float up and deposit themselves in Niki's pack of their own accord. << Rahne: ;_; >> * Rachel utters a low oath. ^^; [Emerald] Now! Let's get going! An old friend owes me a favor and it'll save your skins! A...aaah...world...hollow...splitting...bloody...bloody rivers bloody entrails blood everywhere all over all over me...all over... <> ...Gh... * Niki blinks as the armor pieces drift away for a second. When they land in her pack, she holds her pack with both hands and walks up to Rachel. She leans her head against her hip and speaks very lowly. "Lets go." «ooc: I loe delerium :D » «ooc: love » * Chrys idly considers dunking Cody's head in the water. * Rahne blinks as Cody's pendant falls out of her breastplate, landing in the sand next to her.. * Oh.. * Rachel nods a little down at Niki....she lays a hand briefly on Niki's hair... "Yeah...c'mon, Emer...let's scoot." * Chrys looks down and picks up the pendant, handing it to Rahne. "Here... Cody'd be sad if you lost this." [Emerald] This is your show now Rachel... make me proud. ;) * Rachel heads for the ship...! Finally! :D * Cody begins to go back into seizure/tremble mode. O_o The image of Emerald floats into Rachel's head, a strange sensation accompanying it as she vanishes. ^^ * Rahne smiles at Chrys, picking it up, and draping it around Cody once again.. * I don't know if you missed this at all.. but you dropped this at the waterfall.. * Rachel blinks as she feels weird. ^^; * Chrys twitches and rips off the sleeve of his shirt, dunking it in the water, wringing it out, and placing it on Cody's head, trying to calm him down a bit. <> *** Roric (foon@pix142166195134.nbtel.net) Quit (Quit: sleep) «ooc: Yay! » « heh » The floating city of Del Marr braves the waves, sending several longboats out to shore. Rescued! And not a moment too soon, as the destruction worsens... * Cody is soothed a little bit, but you can see just how hot he is, the strip of cloth is already beginning to dry out. O_o * Chrys sighs and dunks it again, repeating the process and helping Rahne drag Cody onto the longboat * Rahne makes sure it's a gentle carry, not a drag, else she would be very upset and distraught. * «ooc: LOL ^^ » «ooc: God, Rahne...you're such a puppy that I love you ;) » << Rahne: ^^; >> * Rhiana steps onto the longboat and sighs again..looking out over the Pureland <<*idly wonders if she'll have a Keylia in her head now* ;) *thinking* God, Cody looks sexy in those satin boxers...mmm... You're telling me! Ooh la la! ^_- GAH!>> A few oars men row with all their might, the boats rocking until they reach the sand bar. One of them yells out, dressed int the garb of what oen woudl deem a pirate, "Ahoy there! Get aboard, lubbers!" We're getting! We're getting! * Rachel finally catches up to the group... Aaaagh! * Tori steps into one of the boats and turns to watch Rachel and Niki. * Cody curls up a bit, seeming to go through a spasm of pain * Rachel quietly helps Niki onto a boat... Cody..! This'll all be over in a second.. * Niki boards the boat, then walks off on her own and into a room. ...yeah, it will... « no rooms » <> « this is a longboat/skiff ^^ » .oO(Hopefully it won't be all over for you, Cody...) «ooc: Not a bedroom. Like a cargo hold or something. » « no cargo hold :) » <> «ooc: Long boats are like long flat things » «ooc: ... » «ooc: Think like a canoe :p » «ooc: Niki's going to meet with the people rowing, Storen. ;) » «ooc: Damnit. » «ooc: Only it's not a canoe :D » «ooc: It's a skiff! » * Rachel heads for the skiff with Rahne and Cody... Aahh... * Niki doesn't find a room, so she just sits down in a corner of the boat. * Chrys keeps dunking to the best of his ability, trying to keep Cody cool. «ooc: There! No corners. :) AGH!!! » The party boards the launches as a gust of wind tears through them... several burly beastmen begin rowing back, as the land where they ocne stood becomes further unstable, shifting at an odd angle... «ooc: ...boats don't have corners. They're boat shaped, not square » * Rahne resumes her soothing, and hair-stroking.. * Shhhh... * Rachel hops on and quickly sits near the three... "Is he...okay...?" «ooc: Yes, but at the end of the boat the two ends have to meet, creating a corner. » <> A darkness covers the distant sky as well. ...I wish I could say he was, Rache. He's practically on fire, and I don't mean in a good way. Fuck... A...ahh... [Crewman] Aye, this isn't looking good, mates... * Cody 's face is pale and literally dripping sweat. ^^; Cody...I'm here....shh...it'll be okay....I promise....we're all here... He's burning up still.. and delerious somewhat.. but he's still breathing, and doesn't convulse as much as he was... ... * Niki wipes her face with her shirt sleeve, then takes out two pieces of the broken armor. She tries to line them up to put together. * Rachel nods a little... * Tori watches the shore as the boat begins to slowly distances itself from the sandbar. S'cold... * Rahne wipes off the sweat.. * Cold...? * Rachel reaches out to touch Cody's cheek after it gets wiped... The waves cause the boat to rock, rather bad for thsoe unused to sea travel. o_o You manage to amke it to the side of the city, the boats rattling up against the shoddy dock, several boards loosening. * Cody starts to tremble violently again! O_o ...great... We need to get him under blankets.. * Chrys dunks his sleeve one more time and tries to lift Cody, trying to take him off the skiff. "I know...come on..." [Crewman] Get the b'y to the infirmary, mates! Out with ya now! <> «ooc: YAY! » * Rachel nods and stands, helping Chrys and Rahne... * Cody is still trembling hard, coughing * Rahne blinks a bit, helping gently move Cody. * Where's the infirmary? * Niki sighs as the stopping of the boat causing the few armor pieces she had together to collaspe. *** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 29: The Fear of the Angels | Location: Floating Haven, Del Marr | Time: Gnome's Day, Morning | 2349 Luc -=-' Failure...everyone...hates...hates me...Aaahhh! The crew begins to exit the boats immediately, as one breaks up and collapses into splinters. You stand upon the docks extending into the sea, where a myriad of planks stretch otu before you, but they all elad to a rather imposing & towering vessel. <<....awwww, fuck.>> ... [Crewman] Straight on there mates! Damascus is wiatin' fer ya! ...let's go... ... ...Damascus...? Wasn't that the name of... «ooc: Are we about done? :) » « yep :) » * Niki tugs on Chrys' arm sleeve. * Rachel sticks close to Cody as she leads them down the length of the docks.... «ooc: Nothing important happening right now then? » * Rahne speaks warmly again.. * No.. no.. you haven't failed.. and I know you know.. and so do lots of others.. shhh.. things'll be okay.. ...Hm...? Niki... you okay? * Chrys keeps walking, hoping Niki keeps pace * Cody still sounds delerious, but he begins to softly call out for Rachel...Rahne, anyone. He sounds scared. -_- I wanna go home. You said you would come with me... I'm right here....Cody....shh... A legion of deckhands runs about, trying to secure things, and readjust the sails... fighting a battle with nature itself. * Rachel gently reaches out to carress Cody's face... And I'm never far away.. * Chrys sighs. "Rache...Rahne... take care of Cody... we all need to do our own jobs here...I'll check on him a little later..." * Cody is soothed a bit, not becoming so agitated, but still feeling incredibly warm. * Rahne nods to Chrys, her gaze falling back down to her beleagered friend.. * «ooc: becoming = being » Okay....Chrys...take care... « as soona s you go to the master ship, we end. ^^ » «ooc: Okay, night ;) » *** Rhiana (enygma@27-131.001.popsite.net) Quit (Quit: ) The water spurts up through seevral cracks near you. * Chrys walks over to Niki and kneels down to her. "Niki...we've been dragged into something out of our control...right now, we have to wait until we get the chance to go home...we can't yet...do you understand...?" * Rachel looks at Rahne for a moment.... "....we're alive. We're here. Let's get him safe...." * Rachel helps Rahne carry Cody to the master ship... * Rahne nods.. * Lets get him into a bed.. get him cleaned up and warm.. * Niki looks down. "I wanna go home and see my sister..." * Tori reaches the entrance and steps inside the giant ship. R...R....ahhh... * Chrys places a hand on Niki's shoulder. "I know...but right now we need to find a way to get you home...once we can, we will..I promise... now come on, the others are waiting for us..." < *resists the urge to laugh hopelessly* ....who's the smaller bra size now...??>> * Cody goes completely unconscious << ^^; >> Rachel & Rahne carry Cody's tortured form to the only place where he could be safe from the rages of a land torn by chaos. But how can anyone hide from the world itself? The time of unravelling is at hand... ~~ SESSION END ~~ «ooc: >> Emerald gets pissed at Rache' comment and summons Luna. Rachel becomes flat chested. » Hee. lol ;) That was fun. Session Close: Mon May 07 01:22:11 2001
