* Logging #Pureland to 'logs\#pureland.log'
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
<Roric> «ooc: You have midis? »
<GMStoren> « http://rpgcafe.net/somrpg/jukebox/delmar.mid :) »
<Niki> «ooc: BRB...start w/o me for now. ^^; Be back in a few minutes. »
<GMStoren> Upon reaching the outer escorts of Del Marr by launch, the group dispersed to find care and shelter amidst the great floating city, Rahne and rachel especially worried as they shutled Cody off to the medical barge, while the rest of you eventually gathered at the mass of planks leading to the hub of Del Marr itself.. the massive capitol ship, and seat of the Damascus pirate kings.
<GMStoren> « one moment. need an alais fix.. ^^ »
*** Blaze (capote824@3-80-173-216.user.darwin.net) has joined #Pureland
<GMStoren> As you board the immense vessel, you can notice in the churning sea below the vague form of a giant serpent, apparently curled protectively around the hull of the ship.
<Chrys> «ooc: Is Niki there? ^^ »
<GMStoren> « we can ssume not if you want ^^ »
<GMStoren> The air, too, has become foggier, as you almost bump into the myriad of crewmen and citizens running about and securing the deck... it's amazing how many races you can see, from humans, to beatsfolk, to nekos, and even those with elvish blood.
<Chrys> «ooc: Actually, it'd be more of an assume so. Chrys'd stick with her unless he could convince her to tag along over here »
<GMStoren> « try to all be together for this. :) »
<Chrys> «ooc: I know. So can we assume that Niki's there? ^^; »
<GMStoren> « yes ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Back. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Great. »
<GMStoren> The great ship leans a bit to port, as a wave slams into it, largely unfazed.
<Chrys> «ooc: That okay with you, Dek? »
<Niki> «ooc: Uhh...lemme read the intro. »
<GMStoren> « you can start RPing.. you're looking for the king :) »
<Rhiana> «ooc: So we're in town ;) »
<GMStoren> « yes, town of sorts.. ^_^ »
* Rhiana keeps quiet, hasn't said much since everything has taken place
<Niki> «ooc: Uhh, I guess I can be there... »
<GMStoren> In the distance, you can make out other smaller vessels like the one you came from, serving a variety of uses from warships to even encased hydroponic farms.
* Roric is also rather quiet, his face unreadable. The frills on his poncho sway slightly in the sea breeze.
<Cody> «ooc: Talk or I'll be forced to play WIND KARATE MAN! »
<Cody> «ooc: Er, you're talking. Good! Ignore that ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Wind Karate Man? Whats that? The even crappier sequel to the Karate Kid? »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. IoG joke ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: IoG reference, Niki »
<Roric> «ooc: EB reference, actually. »
<Cody> «ooc: Both ^^ »
* Chrys mumbles something about trees being good for nothing but shade and weaves his way through the crowded boatropolis.
* Tori leans on the deck railing, staring out at the other ships and the open sea.
<GMStoren> You approach the center of the ship, and come upon an odd sight... a circlular railing is all that prevents you from falling into a large gap in the ship itself. Peering down you can see the water beneath it.. yet it does not well up nor shink the mighty Del Marr flagship.
<Roric> «ooc: Donut ship! »
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm...forbidden donut ship...:P~~~~ »
* Roric leans over the railing, staring down into the water. He spits.
<Rhiana> ...
<GMStoren> There are a few inscriptions on the sides of the opening, some of which you recognize from the Mana palaces.
* Niki isn't really paying attention to anything and is gazing off.
* Chrys looks at Roric and shakes his head, peering in and just watching, quietly reading the runes...
<GMStoren> As Roric spits over the side, it falls a good distance, yet hits an invisible field, hanging there a moment, then evaporating.
<Roric> Huh.
* Roric sighs and stares upward.
<GMStoren> A few crewman give him dirty looks. :P
<Niki> «ooc: * Roric gets off on the looks. »
<GMStoren> Roric spies the masts of the dreadnought extending up my stories into the sky, tha even now is becoming dark and threatening.
<GMStoren> [Pirate] Hey, did you just spit into the ritual palce, ya land lubber?
<Roric> «ooc: This seems oddly MML-ish to me. »
* Chrys looks at the runes closer, trying to see what they say...
* Roric looks in the pirate's direction. "Apparently."
<Cody> «ooc: Uses her magical fishing bait to fish for Heatherbunny »
<Roric> «ooc: Mmmm. Raining so nicely... »
<GMStoren> The beastman mix pirate finegrs his cutlass. "You better be lucky you've still got your head right now... do ti again and you'll be gettign a REAL close look, matey. That's Djinn and Undine's hollowed spot."
<Roric> Well, sorry. It ain't like there's any sign that says "ritual place, don't be spittin'".
<Niki> «ooc: The next time we call upon Undine she should have that spit hanging from her hair or something. »
<GMStoren> Chrys can't understand them all, but they mention the sea and sky reverantly.
<Rahne> <<  Skunk Slain!  Jeremy Gains 2 Exp.!  0 Gil! 1Ap!  >>
<GMStoren> [Pirate] Haven't ya got betetr things ta be doing than standing around and breakin' rules?
<Roric> «ooc: Is that to me or Chrys? »
<GMStoren> The pirate walks off, grabbing a few barrels nearby, and sliding down the deck with em in an instant. :o
<Roric> «ooc: Poor culvert skunk. »
<GMStoren> « it was to you ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Um, anyway. »
<Cody> «ooc: Skunkie :D »
* Roric scratches his head. "At th'moment...heh. Damned if I can answer that."
<GMStoren> « heh ^^ »
* Chrys shakes his head.
<Cody> «ooc: Gack! I forgot to log. Moh ;_; »
<Chrys> «ooc: what were we supposed to be doing here O_o »
<Cody> «ooc: Going to find the king :p »
<GMStoren> You can see further down the main deck, a woman with fiery red hair, and the hint of beast blood, barking out orders to a gaggle of the citizens.
<GMStoren> [Beast] Yeah, you heard me... stop lollygaging! Get those supports to the outer escort. And secure the damn suppleis! Do I have to tell you guys everything!
<GMStoren> [Beastwoman] Damn lazy seadogs... *mutter*
<GMStoren> [Beastwoman] Hey. You.
<Roric> «ooc: <everyone> Me? »
<GMStoren> She points directly at Chrys.
<Cody> «ooc: You! Get into my car! »
<Tori> <<ack...brb>>
<Cody> «ooc: Get outta my DREAMS. Get iinto my Car! (Get into my!) Oh get outta my mind...get outta...er...something »
* Chrys blinks. "Uh, yeah? You want something?"
<GMStoren> The female pirate stomps over, rather angry. "What you be doing, mate... this here isn't some school youc an be staring at letetrs all day."
* Chrys raises his eyebrow, adopting the tone somewhat mockingly. "I know it ain't. What YOU be doin'...? This ain't a prison either, you ain't got a place to be orderin' me around..."
<Cody> «ooc: Kick his ass! Punt it! Punt it good! Whooo! *cough* »
<Roric> «ooc: This is a good midi. »
<GMStoren> She looks at the whole bunch, obvious having an air of some type of command. "You obviously don't know who you're dealing with. I'm Jeziel, duaghetr of Leorities. Now are you going to get your little bunch of lubbers out of my men's ways or do i have to haul your arses into the brig. Land dwellers aren't allowed up here for no good reason."
<Chrys> Yeah, I know. Where the hells is the guy in charge of this fleet?
<Niki> «ooc: Duaghetr...must be some foreign word. ;) »
* Roric stretches, rolling his neck. "Mmmh. Okay...one question first, eh? Where's this washtub 'eaded?"
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] You mean ta tell me you're looking for old man Damascus hismelf?
<Chrys> ...Some of us are, yeh.
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] *to Roric* Headed? Del Marr goes where the waves, go mate. And right now, they don't be looking to good...
<Roric> Well, if ya'd 'arbor a reccomendation, as far away from that island as possible'd be good.
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] 'Ey.. waitaminute. You aren't those bunch of Mana Knights are you?
* Rhiana turns her head away and doesn't answer.
<Roric> Not sure what we are now.
<Roric> Our last job kinda got terminated wit'out warnin'.
<Cody> «ooc: We're Javobah's witnesses now :D »
<Niki> «ooc: No, lets be door to door salesmen. »
<Chrys> ...People call us that, is what he's trying to say. But we really aren't anything more than a bunch of two-bit adventurers.
<Tori> <<back>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: Speak for yourself, Chrys. I clearly have 3 bits »
<Rhiana> «ooc: ..oh lord »
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Either way, we just saved your bloody arses... Illusia's gone to hell, and the sea and skies are getting worked up into a frenzy.
<Roric> «ooc: God damn, it's gorgeous out. »
*** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP-156-70.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) has joined #Pureland
<Roric> If ya don't mind, we'll put off givin' ya a victory medal 'till we find out if anyone lives through th'week.
<Rhiana> ...
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Aye... but del Marr bows to noone. It'll take more than some apocalyptic garbage to put us down.
<Chrys> ...What he said. Fuck Illusia, all of Mana's gone to shit.
<Chrys> I don't doubt you can fight it, but can you really expect to hold your own when th'very elements are against you?
* Chrys lowers his head and sighs.
<Cody> «ooc: Sighs and wonders where Joo is :/ »
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] I think you be underestimating us, matey... why don't you go explain to my faher all the details.
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] I'll atke you there.. betetr than giving orders to these salty dogs.
<GMStoren> [Pirate] I heard that!
<Roric> Sounds like a plan.
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Shut up or you'll be wimming with the sharks!
* Roric looks around, checking that everyone's with them.
<Niki> «ooc: wimming? LOL »
<GMStoren> [Pirate] ...
<GMStoren> « swimming ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: I know, but...wimming......hehehe. »
<Cody> «ooc: A wim a way a wim a way... »
<Chrys> «ooc: <Yu> Wim! »
* Rhiana is there, just being uncharacteristcally quite
<Rhiana> «ooc: quiet »
<Rahne> << <Yu> ^^; >>
* Niki really isn't doing anything, just standing around with a blank face.
<GMStoren> « question.. »
<GMStoren> « was anyone specifically carrying keylia's broken wepaons? »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I wasn't, I don't think :) »
<Roric> «ooc: I just assumed Rachel was. »
<GMStoren> « Ok. :) »
<Niki> «ooc: Not I, unless they were in the weapons storage with all the other Mana weapons when I took them. »
<Roric> «ooc: BRB »
<Niki> «ooc: Cuz Niki basically took everything. ^^; »
<GMStoren> Jeziel waves you over, walking along the deck as it sways too and fro, in the direction of the aft of the vessel...
<Rhiana> «ooc: Jeziel has a fro? »
<GMStoren> « lol. ^^ »
<GMStoren> « to and fro :) »
* Tori turns from the railing and follows after the lady pirate.
* Chrys follows along, running his hand through his now drooping purple hair. "C'mon, Niki..."
* Roric does the baby duck thing.
<Cody> «ooc: QACK »
<GMStoren> « btw, for those of you that might know, jeziel looks a bit like if you crossed jessica of TSS and Catalina from UW2 »
* Niki slowly nods and quietly speaks. "okay..."
<GMStoren> « ^_- »
<Roric> «ooc: Locke needs to do the npcs! »

<Chrys> «ooc: Uncharted Waters 2 »
<GMStoren> « Uncharted waters »
<Niki> «ooc: Umm, okay. »
<Rhiana> ...
<Tori> <<Roric: Let me finish up the resort cake series first ^^;>>
<Roric> «ooc: The...what? »
<GMStoren> « heh ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: It's roric in a thong series, Ror :D »
* Niki slowly follows.
<Tori> <<Roric: It's a series of pics with the PCs at a hot spring..bromide type of stuff>>
<Roric> «ooc: Heee./ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Haven't you only done one of those thus far, Tori? »
<Tori> <<actually, no..I've got two more sketches done..one of Cody and Rachel sleeping under a tree and another of Roric in the mountains>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Can I see? »
*** Rhiana (enygma@06-070.001.popsite.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
<Tori> <<The Cody and Rache pic, sure..the roric one isn't scanned in yet>>
<Roric> «ooc: Show me too. :D »
<GMStoren> It's not long before you reach the impressive cabin door, leading to the city's ready room/royal quarters. They are decorated in tons of gold highlights, with the heads of many animals and sea beasts alike adorning the walls, both testaments to the strength and conquests of the past. Upon a chair accenetd with mother of pearl sits a black-beareded human, in a dress uniform, wearing a type of triconre hat crossed with a crown.

<Cody> «ooc: Uh, ror? ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: For rhi »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh :D »
<GMStoren> At his side is a very beautiful beastwoman, with the ears and tail of a Neko.. a very odd, yet stunning combination. Both look to be in their mid forties.
<Tori> <<http://ddi.digital.net/~ekberg/somrough.jpg>>
*** GMStoren sets mode: +o Rhiana
<Roric> «ooc: Wow, you're improving. »
<Rhiana> ...
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Arrgh... there you be!
<Chrys> «ooc: Rachel made me think of Precis at first, but that's just because it's a rough and I thought the hat was part of her hair »
<Roric> 'Ere we be.
<Chrys> ..yyyyeah.
<Cody> «ooc: Kawaii :D »
<Rhiana> «ooc: There isn't enough Rhiana fan art out there ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: She's just chocolate misu anyway. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Just character model »
<Roric> «ooc: But then, Cody is just Tim. »
<Cody> «ooc: With cut hair :D »
<Cody> «ooc: >:D »
<Rhiana> «ooc: and Roric is just Paul Hogan without the charisma ;) »
<GMStoren> The king arises from his sea throne, obviously very burly and tough. "Seems we don't have too much time for formalities and all that garbage, mate. But let me welcome you to del Marr, the ruler of the seven seas!"
<Roric> «ooc: He doesn't have the hat either. »
<Rahne> << King: I yam!  A man!  Of the sea! >>
* Roric nods. "Ya know what 'appened in Illusia? I mean, th'basics?"
* Niki sits on the floor, not paying attention to anything. She takes out the green piece of Keylia's tunic and starts tying it to the end of her axe.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] I'm Leorities Damascus, the 7th Pirate King...
<Roric> «ooc: Er, put my comment after his introduction. »
<GMStoren> [Queen Esmerauld] I'm Esmeraulde. I wish we could meet under better circumstance...
<Roric> Not bein' dead ain't bad circumstances given events, ma'am.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Aye, that I do matey. seems like the old phophecy is coming true eh?
* Rhiana floats to the back of the group and stays silent
* Chrys keeps his eye on Niki and his ear on Leorities and Esmeraulde. "Prophecy...?"
<GMStoren> You notice a small neko cross girl is playing with a tiny ship, in the lap of the Queen. ^^
<Chrys> «ooc: I almost typoed the name as "Emeraldas", augh »
<Roric> «ooc: Emeraldas rules. »
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Hohoho.. too bad it doesn't be a good one, mate. It's about what happens when there's no Tree to balance the world... it's going out fo control worse than one of me victory parties.

<Cody> «ooc: C'mon! Everyone else chant his name! »
<Niki> «ooc: Do I have to say it too? ;) »
<DNW> <<Hihi ^_^>>
<Cody> «ooc: YES YOU DO »
<Cody> «ooc: >:P »
<Roric> Hmmm.
<Niki> «ooc: Oh fine. Ahem... »
<Niki> «ooc: !WMD »
<Rhiana> «ooc: ECW! »
<Rahne> << Heyas, DNW. ^_^ >>
<DNW> <<Close enough ^_^>>
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Hello, yon disembodied nonexistent witless »
<Roric> I need ta talk ta Dryad.
<Chrys> «ooc: er, witness »
<Cody> «ooc: *hugs* ^^ I thought you had your group tonight? »
<Roric> «ooc: Freudian slip>? »
<DNW> <<Nope, we all went off to see our mommies ^_^>>
<Cody> «ooc: Is important to see your mommy :) »
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] You see the sea and the winds mate? A storms' brewing, but this one's got a big old name of Chaos stamped on it. We haven't even been able to summon Undine or Djinn.. so what makes you thinkw e can get Dryad too, mate?
<Rhiana> ...we can't
<Roric> I 'aven't 'ad much luck...but if I can get to 'er palace I might be able ta.
<Chrys> ...He's stubborn. It's a fact that the elementals won't answer us.
<Roric> In th'meantime, let'
<Rhiana> ...
<Roric> <EVIL>
<Chrys> ...Oh, sure, Ror, THAT'S gonna be easy...
* Niki looks down and stares at her ring, keeping silent.
<Roric> In th'meantime, let's 'ope this ship can take a beatin'.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] *laughs* Del Marr's never had an easy life! We aren't scared of anything! but this is an enemy we can't just go and put in it's place.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] And what's even worse, some of our Wave Cavalry have spotted something that even we have to atke notice of. And that's the long sealed God Beast of the Sea!
<Roric> Bloody lovely.
<Roric> What bothers me most about all this shit...is that we did all we were s'posed ta. 
<Cody> «ooc: Waits for the »
<Roric> But somethin' still went wrong.
<GMStoren> [Queen Esmerauld] Where is the boy that everyone has talekd about? I don't see him with you, nor the sword bearer... are they alright?
<Cody> «ooc: er, waits for the 'Cody and Rachel fucked up' speech :) »
<Roric> The kid ain't been real well. E's gonna need some kinda funky healin', I wager.
<Chrys> The sw...ahem...Rachel's fine, though.
* Chrys looks at Roric. "Maybe the legends were wrong."
<Roric> But this ain't never 'appened before, right?
<Roric> I mean...not like this.
<Chrys> ...who's to say ANY of this ever happened...? Who's to say that the Mana Tree ever truly stood...?
* Roric scratches his head. "Hm. All I know right now's that I ain't dead yet, and it's very perplexin' fer me."
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Not in the history of the world mate... there's never actually been a world without a tree ever. Since the Goddess planted the thing. Now, the whole balance is shot... and we're caught in the wake.
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! Heather is back! »
*** Edelritter (hikari@155-tcl012-119.attla.cl) has joined #pureland
<Cody> «ooc: At least she's back on her ICQ :P »
<GMStoren> [Queen Esmerauld] The gemma is sick you say.. oh my. This is serious.. he might be experiencing the world's pian if he is so linekd to it... just as del Marr sometimes is caught in the throws of Undine and Djinn.
<Rhiana> ...
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Hey, you take the kid to one of the hospital ships?
<Rhiana> «ooc: Felt like I needed to throw in my 2 cents :D »
<Cody> «ooc: Profound :) »
<Chrys> Yes, we did. You think we're stupid?
<Niki> «ooc: But you used 3 dots. Thats 3 cents. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Words of wisdom »
<Rhiana> «ooc: The answer to all your questions is ... »
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] I dunno mate, I'm still thinking on that one. But he needs to be brought somewhere where there isn't a crowd of all the injured mates... they're flooding in as the storm gets worse.
<Roric> Need a 'and on deck?
* Niki stands up and walks out of the door, her face still looking gloomy.
<Roric> Ain't spent much time on ships, but I got sea legs.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Hey, we'd be honored to have ya aboard. We need all hands if we'll have a chance when that beast gets here. I feel it in my bones he's got his eyes set on our little floating paradise. Morgan would have me head if I let him down.
* Roric nods. "I'll go lend a 'and then...what's th'plan for now?"
* Chrys raises an eyebrow, suddenly tense. "Beast? You mean the storm or something else?"
<Chrys> «ooc: Wait. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Nuke that line »
<Chrys> «ooc: I just read »
<GMStoren> « heh »
<Chrys> «ooc: Sorry about! »
<Chrys> ...The beast, eh?
<Roric> «ooc: Augh, it's that NBC TV movie »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Chrys will take "Current Events" for 400 Alex »
* Chrys closes his eyes. "I'll help. I may still have some information..."
<GMStoren> [Queen Esmerauld] For now, please bring the boy to our capital ship so he can be tended to properly. If something happens, it is the safest place.
* Chrys bites his lip, trying to see if he can gather any remnants of Hawk's memories to use as his own...
*** DNW is now known as Nacia
<Roric> With yer leave, then...
<GMStoren> Chrys finds many of his memories a blur... names and specifics escape him, only that the God beasts are something that hawk immensely feared.
* Nacia squirms a bit in the Queen's lap, "Mommy, where's Kelly? Why isn't he here?"
* Roric bows informally, then unties his poncho and turns for the door, carrying it in one hand.
* Roric stops in the door, looking back. "Er...which side is port again?"
<GMStoren> [Queen Esmerauld] You know he's still out on his adventure Nacia dear...
* Chrys points. "That way."
<Roric> Right you are.
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] *grumbels* Just like him to do that now of all times... *walks out*
* Roric grins and heads up...
<Roric> «ooc: OK, I'll be doing grunt work on deck. »
<Nacia> Poo :\
* Rhiana takes in a breath and sighs, then turns to head out as well
* Chrys clenches his fists as the names don't come to him and listens in on the queen and whoever the girl on her lap is. "Who's Kelly?"
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] That's Kelesis, mate. He's my son, and heir to the lineage of Damascus.
<Nacia> When's he coming back mommy?
* Niki is sitting next to the door of the room she just walked out of.
* Chrys nods. "Got ya... We'll look for him if you want, provided that Del Mar survives the God Beast..."
<GMStoren> [Queen Esmerauld] Don't worry, he said he'd return in a year.. I know you miss him so, and so do I. There's just a few more moons...
* Rhiana head up to the main deck..not appearing to be looking for anyone in particular.
* Nacia goes quiet and resumes messing with the ship model in her hands
* Chrys shakes his head. "With your leave, sir, ma'am, I'll head off to bring the boy, Cody, to the capital ship."
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] *laughs* Well, if I told ya I wasn't worried, I'd be a liar mate. But Kelesis isn't some run of the mill barnacle to be bested. after all, he's got Damascus blood!
* Tori silently leaves the throne room and walks back out to the main deck.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Go on mate, time's wasting.
* Chrys nods and leaves, going off to find the hospital ship that Cody's apparently on.
<Niki> «ooc: *imagines Bahamut swinging around King Leorities around when punishing people* »
<Nacia> Can I show the nice people around mommy? Del Mar's kind of big
<GMStoren> [Queen Esmerauld] Why that's a wonderful idea... just be careful of the waves, dear.
<Nacia> Okay :D
<Rahne> << Damocles, not Damascus. ^^; >>
<Chrys> «ooc: That'd be Keylia swinging him around, Niki »
* Nacia hops off the Queens's lap, and runs after the group :D
<Niki> «ooc: I'd still be funny. ;) »
<Nacia> Follow me! I know the fastest way to the medical frigate! :D
<GMStoren> « btw.. Jupy was takign some more time to take Jeff home.. so she will be along, albiet later. »
<Chrys> Um, okay. O_o Niki, you wanna come along?
* Nacia runs around a lot, gathering party memebers in a non-subtle way :D
<Cody> «ooc: ...are you pinching their asses, Nacia? ;) BAD. »
* Niki sighs a little and looks off towards the ocean and what she thinks is the location of her 'home'.
<Nacia> <<Don't you wish ^_->>
<GMStoren> Now that you can get a good look at Nacia, she's wearing a very plain yet cute blue and pink outfit, her large neko ears flopping as she hops off her mother's lap.
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah, I do ;) »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Niki> «ooc: Hey! Your suppose to be sick or something. Get back in bed and no more jokes. Shoo Shoo! »
<Cody> «ooc: It's better than staring at a screen and getting angtsy »
<Nacia> We go this way now! Zoom! :D
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. Zoom. »
* Nacia charges off ^_^
* Chrys sweatdrops as the little one reminds her of Niki before she got all quiet, and follows, albeit at a slower pace.
<Niki> «ooc: Don't Angst...you can umm....oh hell. Make your jokes. I can't think of anything else to do. »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^; »
* Nacia begins climbing a ladder, leading up towards what appears to be a maze of high scaffolding and ropes
<GMStoren> Nacia takes off for the shakey planks, leading to the outer ship circle you came from, drating between the workers. ^_^ You also notice a light rain has begun falling, the breeze getting decidedly more chill.
<GMStoren> « er darting »
* Chrys grumbles, hair already screwed up due to the sea mist
* Niki continues to stare off completely ignoring the rain.
<Nacia> Come on up! Hurry! :D
* Roric is working shirtless moving boxes. He pauses briefly to nod, then grunts and continues working.
<GMStoren> Roric notices the little girl run by, Chrys trailing. ^^

<Nacia> <<Ew! Stinky land-weenie! Poo! :\>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Heather should be back in 45 minutes or less, if she's taking Jeff home ^^; »
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Eya Roric. Maybe you should go check were Nacia's running off to, I'll get those for ya. *hefts a box or two*
* Tori pales as his eyes fall on the ropeway and planks high above.
<Nacia> Hurry hurry! :D
<Roric> Eh? Hmm, ya sure?
<Niki> «ooc: But she might stop at McDonalds. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: BRB »
* Roric calls out to the group. "Hey, where ya 'eadin'?"
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Heh! Just because I've got Damascus in me viens, doesn't mean I have to be lounging around the deck all day, mate.
<Nacia> We're going to the Medical Frigate! Come on come on! :D
* Chrys lifts his head and nods, hair starting to fall in his eyes as he follows Nacia. ^^
<Roric> Er...okay. *heads after the girl* I should get back 'ere before long though...they keep losin' men ta the storm.
* Nacia grabs one of the hanging ropes and proceeds to Tarzan over to another set of scaffolds. "AyoooooHA!" :D
* Chrys sweatdrops and follows, instead taking the route which ensures his feet are touching something solid at all if not most times
<GMStoren> Nacia lands with style and finesse upon the deck of a smaller ship near the frigate, as a few serpentine heads poke out of the wave cavalry stables, hissing a bit in acknowledgement. ^^
* Nacia throws the rope back, "Hurry up! Hurry up!" :D
* Tori slowly and shakily starts to make his way up the ladder.
* Roric maneuvers skilfully across the uneasy footing, landing behind her.
<Cody> «ooc: Back »
* Nacia waves to the Wave Serpents, "Hi! I see you!" :D
<Nacia> Follow me! :D
<GMStoren> One young serpent sticks it's forked toungue out, and a efw others bounce around as a wave washes over the ship, causing it to sway.
* Nacia charges off again, walking across a narrow beam to jump down onto the deck of the medical frigate ^_^
* Tori ,a little less sure-footed than usual, lands on the ships deck and follows after Nacia.
* Nacia leans over the railing and chatters at the wave serpents :D
<GMStoren> Nacia can notice in the distance the warships have begun to sail closer than usual to the main fleet, in a tight protective ring, as she carries on some strange conversation with the beasts. ^^
<GMStoren> The emdical frigate is an epicenetr of activity as many limp into and out of it, either complaining or yelling various explitives.
<Chrys> «ooc: brb kinda »
* Nacia grabs Tori and drags him along, "This way!" :D
<Cody> «ooc: brb »
* Tori is dragged behind the hyperactive, possibly psychotic (in Tori's eyes, anyway), little girl.
* Nacia stops abruptly before a stairway going down. "Here!" :D
* Chrys goes down the stairs slowly, hoping the little girl will go away O_o scaryyy..
<GMStoren> Nacia drags Roric, Chrys, and especially Tori into the ship. It is then you spot amidst the mass of doctors and patients, one strawberry blonde haired boy in a bed by hismelf. The familiar figure of Rahne is fixing his blnakets and putting one around the knight herself, and as Rachel has apparently fallen asleep by his bedside.
<Nacia> See? I told ya it was the fastest route ^_^
<GMStoren> « er no and before as ^^ »
* Roric sighs, seeing Rachel asleep.
* Rahne 's ears snap up at the sound of the heavy footfalls, and she turns to face the group.. *
* Cody appears to be out of it, but his face is pale and looks very sweaty and feverish.
<Nacia> So that's your sick friend huh? :o
<Roric> That's 'im.
* Nacia walks over to Cody and prods him once in the side
* Rahne speaks quietly. * Please keep your voices down.. this is the longest he's been--
* Cody winces a bit and says something in a soft, incoherant way.
* Rahne erks, and interrupts Nacia's prod.. * Please don't, Miss.. he's veril ill..
<Rahne> << very, rather. >>
<Nacia> Hmmmm...okay! ^_^
* Cody winces some more and curls up on his side in a fetal position.
* Chrys shakes his head. "Rahne.... we need to take him someplace safer."
* Nacia toddles off to one side, and starts messing with her model ship again :)
<GMStoren> A few doctors nearby are setting up what appears to be a stretcher not to far away.
*** Joo-TakingJeffHome is now known as Rachel
* Rahne nods. * Okay.. please try to disturb him as little as possible..
<Cody> «ooc: Heather! Great timing :D »
<GMStoren> « j00? :) »

* Cody suddenly cries out softly, clutching his side.
* Rachel jerks awake. "Wh...wha!"
<Nacia> o_o;
* Rahne turns to him, trying to settle Cody back down.. * Shhh... shhhh...
* Roric bites his lip. " 'Ey, Rachel..."
* Rachel straightens up and blinks dazedly at Cody..she then realizes she's not alone and turns to regard the others...
<Rachel> Oh...hey... er...sorry...you should've woken me.. ^^;
<Cody> N...No...No....Everything is falling down I got to get away I got to get away.....* He tries to sit up! O_o*

<Roric> No tellin' when you're gonna be able ta sleep again...best ya did while ya could. *looks towards Cody, sighing* 'E ain't doin' any better...we need ta move 'im./
* Rahne tries to keep him down, slowing him gently and easing him back down again.. *
<Rachel> Yeah....we should...
* Chrys brushes a few damp, limp strands of hair out of his eyes, looking somewhat ordinary. He looks at Cody and comes forward, trying to calm him.. "What Ror' said."
<Nacia> <<No such luck my dear ;)>>
* Rachel brushes her hair from her eyes and stands, regaining her bearings...
* Cody whimpers softly, and is pushed down gently to the bed without much reistance.
<GMStoren> [Doctor] Excuse me...
* Chrys looks back at the doctor. "You got something ready?"
<GMStoren> [Doctor] Are you Cody's friends? We're going to be moving him to the royal ship, but we can't spare much manpower here...
* Rahne traces a finger lightly along Cody's jawline before looking up at the Doctor.. *
* Rachel glances at Rahne before looking at the doctor... "We'll help..."
<Chrys> We can do it. Yes, we are his friends. ...And you wouldn't believe how glad I am that you actually used his name.
*** Nacia is now known as DNW
<GMStoren> [Doctor] Well.. that is the name Rahne told us to use, so we'll use it. Noone on Del Marr's very fond of titles...
<Cody> «ooc: which is why the queen called him that. Tee. »
* Rachel nods a bit, chewing on her bottom lip before reaching out to stroke Cody's forehead...
<GMStoren> « she doesn't know your name yet :) »
* Cody begins to look agitated again, moaning softly in pain
<GMStoren> [Doctor] If you could place Cody on this stretcher, I'll guide you abck to the Damascus vessel.. we must be very careful.. his condition is very fragile.
<Chrys> ...Good. Where do we need to take him? Just drag him back to the king?
<Rahne> << * The Doctor snaps at Rachel & Rahne * And you two!  Would you both quit pawing his face!? O_o >>

* Rachel straightens up again and looks at Chrys... "Help?"
<GMStoren> [Doctor] The capitol ship has it's own ward for treating the royal family. It's laregly unused, except in emergenices. And this most certainly is one.
* Chrys nods. "Yeah."
<GMStoren> The frigate is rocked by another wave or two, the hanging lights swinging.
* Cody coughs, the sound of it rather wet. ^^;
* Rachel staggers a little but regains her footing before gently starting to pick Cody up... "Right, you.....time to move it..."
* Chrys helps Cody up a bit, helping Rachel carry him to the stretcher.
* Cody shudders hard in Rachel's arms. He's still wearing that gaudy outfigt the Empire forced him to wear, only now it's it's dirty and in rags. ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: outfit, even »
* Rachel places Cody on the stretcher with the help of Chrys and nods a little in thanks at the thief...
* Rahne cleans up around Cody's mouth with a handkerchief, from his previous coughing fit.. trying not to impede the others.. *
* Chrys nods, picking up his end slowly. "I hope all this hasn't made you too cold, Rache...it would any lesser person..."
<Cody> «ooc: It finally happened. Rahne finally wiped Cody's drool. »

* Rahne 's breath catches for a moment before folding the hanky up and tucking it away.. *
<GMStoren> With everyone working together, Cody is safely on the rickety looking, but surprising sturdy carrier, the doctor leading the way out back onto the deck, shoving past two men, holding their comrade, who's leg is slightyl twsited. :/

<GMStoren> Over planks and scaffolds you go, no ship that you traverse being totally stable. The drizzles has now turned to a hard rain, and some thunder echoes in the distance above the creakign wood.
* Rachel shivers a bit but keeps her feet and wits about her as she moves, water making her hair slide down into her face....
<Rachel> <<....random vision of clumps of Rache's hair falling out.>>
<GMStoren> « eek »
* Cody begins to shiver incredibly hard once the rain begins to fall.
* Rahne tries to shield Cody's face from the weather.. * Let's hurry, please..
<Rachel> Hey, you try walking on this tipsy piece of....
* Rachel goes quiet and bites her bottom lip as she moves a little quicker. ^^;
* Tori shakes his head, as if disgusted with himself, pulls his cloak off and tosses it over Cody.
<GMStoren> You rush to the capitol ship, just as one of the planks before you cracks in two, the bindings failing to hold it together. Fortunately, there are more walkways, and you continue past the circular chamber to the main cabin at the rear, the helmsman above struggling with the might wheel of the flagship.
* Rahne smiles a bit at Tori.. *
* Tori looks at Rahne for a moment but his expression doesn't seem too kind.
<Cody> «ooc: Tori: ...Clingy. :o »
* Rahne shamefully averts her kind eyes, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. *
<Rachel> . o O (Sword arm hurts.....feels like the muscle is on fire....gods, got to keep it together....)
<GMStoren> Instead of going to the throne room, the doctor directs you to the lower levels, winding through a few halls, ebfore shoving one of the large doors open, revealing a small hospice, replete with an elegant bed, quite unlike the cot Cody was in before.
* Rachel gazes about for a moment before nodding, heading for the bed...
* Cody is still shivering hard, wet from the outside despite Tori's cloak
<Rachel> We might have to get him into something dry...
<Rahne> No might, Miss Rachel..  it has to be done..
<Chrys> ...like?
<GMStoren> [Doctor] Yes, yes... if you'll look in the cabinent there are clothes for him.
<Rachel> <<*seethe* ;)>>
<Rachel> Right...cabinet...
<Cody> «ooc: Best thing to do is do the Tyr method. NAKEDNESS. Then everyone can ooh and aaah ;) »
* Rachel helps Chrys put Cody on the bed...
* Rahne goes to the cabinet, rooting around for some bedclothes for Cody.. *
<Rachel> <<I almost said 'helps Cody put Chrys on the bed'...oh baby!>>
<GMStoren> The doctor starts getting out various medical impliments, preparing the place for use. rahen finds tucked away are rows of very fine cotton robes. ^^
* Chrys helps Rache and looks at Rahne. "Since you two will probably be fighting for days over who gets to dress Cody..."
* Rachel scowls at Chrys.. "Oh please...."
<Chrys> Tori, could you help us with Cody?
* Rahne takes out a Cody-sized robe, and returns to the bedside.. *
* Tori silently nods.
<Cody> coldcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldcold...
* Cody curls up into a ball, someohow managing to rock back and forth.
* Rachel lets the faint spark of anger die away as she gazes worriedly at Cody..
<Cody> «ooc: Don't ask how he does that. It's magical. »
<DNW> <<Does anyone in this group ever nod loudly?>>
<GMStoren> « heh »
<Cody> «ooc: No, it's not angsty enough! »
<Rachel> <<Roric does. His waddle makes a flapping noise. It's disturbing.>>
* Chrys grumbles and steadies Cody, slowly trying to strip the damp clothes off.
* Cody whimpers loudly but doesn't resist.
* Tori pulls the wet mantle from off of Cody and wraps it back around his own shoulders.
* Rachel brushes the hair from her eyes and steps back a bit, rubbing her sword arm..
<GMStoren> The del mar medical staffer sets about lighting lanterns and heaters to make the place more comfortable for Cody. But still, it is quite humid...
* Rahne speaks quietly and soothingly to Cody, trying to keep him calm and still. *
* Cody seems to lose consciousness for a bit, and goes limp.
<GMStoren> As Cody is getting dressed, a hearty laugh billows from the hall outside.
* Chrys quietly stuffs Cody into the robe, trying to ignore the guffaw.
<Rachel> <<Rahne: It's okay...it's okay.... * Cody dies. Rahne: Oh god oh god I KILLED HIM!>>
<GMStoren> « lol »
<DNW> <<Rachel> You Bastard!>>
* Rachel turns and looks towards the laugh, frowning.
<Rachel> <<Rachel: No happiness allowed, damnit! This is purely angst!>>
* Rahne brushes the damp hair out of Cody's eyes.. * ...Could someone go tell whoever is laughing to be a little more quiet, please?
<GMStoren> The figure of the captain and king comes into view, shuffling into the room, a smile playing upon his beard as he sees Cody dressed in his clothes.
<Rachel> . o O ("Could someone go and remove the stick from my ass? I can't seem to talk too well with it jammed too high, it gets in the way.")
<Chrys> ...Hey there. -_-;

<Tori> He's nearly dead. But other then that, fine.
<Cody> «ooc: "Bad, Leo. Why bad, cl'dren?" »

<GMStoren> [King Leorities] What happened at the purelands, mateys?
<Chrys> It fell down went boom.
<Rachel> <<We telling him? ^^>>
<Cody> A...aah...
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Well that be real obvious mate. The whole island's a mess. But what happened up those there falls? If this little lubebr here is the gemma everyone was talkin' about, why isn't there a new Tree, eh mate?
<Rachel> Something went wrong. We're not sure what.
<Rachel> <<Khyros jynxed Cody-....heyyy, coca-cola.>>
* Chrys sighs. "Chaos. Something happened with Chaos, we think."
<Chrys> But aside from that...
* Rachel nods a little.
<Rahne> Vandole was betrayed by his advisor, Khyros.  Khyros revived Thanatos, but we managed to stop that..  and as Cody..  Cody..  did what he had to do..  something went horribly wrong..
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Wrong you say... could right well be that you mates ran out of time...
* Tori shakes his head "I don't think we stopped Thanatos at all...whatever is happening now..it feels like that same kind of evil that was at Illusia..."
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Things had already been rough goings after that Vandole bilge bum send the fortress flying over our heads. It was just a matter of time before all of history was going to go in reverse mates.
* Rachel looks down at Cody, listening half heartedly to the King and the group...
<Rachel> <<...bilge bum? ^^>>
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Every little tyke knows that the Mana Goddess weaved the world outta the chaos, and that Mana Tree is like the needle. So when it was blasted out of the water, the fabric of everything started coming apart. That there Sprite magic was just belaying the inevitable.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] I'm figuring that Thanatos was just trying to stall you mates.. he's working for that no good Chaos. It shievrs me timbers thinking about the fact he was still running around after last time.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] We've going to have to get a plan, mates.. Del Marr's always relied upon the Elements, and if they go otu of whack, we're going to follow 'em sooenr or later.
-> [Rachel] PING
<Chrys> ...The God Beasts...
<GMStoren> The king looks pensive, staring at Rachel's sword. "...well, least seeing the good old mana sword is a relief."
<Rachel> ....
* Chrys looks down. "We have to get rid of them...I don't know how, but we have to..."
<Rachel> <<Rachel: EXCUSE me?! Please to be not looking there! O_o Pervert!>>
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Aye.. say, what's that other thing you be carrying, mate?
* Rachel runs her fingers along the hilt of the sword before blinking at the King curiously..
<Cody> «ooc: The pendant? ^^; »
<GMStoren> He points a hand to the broken blade poking out of Rachel's pack.
<Rachel> .....it was a friend's....it got broken during a confrontation...
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Might I see it mate? The design looks a little familiar.
* Rahne quietly wipes the sweat off of Cody's brow.. *
* Rachel reaches to her pack and tugs out Keylia's broken weapons....she looks at the King for a moment before handing them over...
<GMStoren> The King takes the broken sword, and the twisted sickle in his hands, running them over a few times. He goes pale a moment. "Well call me a wave serpent's arsehole... this is the watermark of my ancestor, Morgan himself!"
* Rachel raises an eyebrow but doesn't really react to this, not really surprised by anything related to Keylia anymore. ^^;
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Where did you friend get these weapons? They are over 200 years old!"
* Cody moans a bit becaus Leorities is being a loudmouth. ;_;
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> There's a small flicker of light from Rachel's head, and the image of Emerald flutters into view.
<Chrys> ...Elf lady. Long story. Keep it down a bit...remember, we have an ill man over yonder.
* Rachel blinks dazedly and utters a low chuckle. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Ahem. That's 214 years, to be exact. ^_-
* Chrys blinks. "...Fairy?"
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Arr... it be a fairy!
<Rachel> ^^; Fairy.
<Cody> «ooc: Arrr...no shit! ;) Someone needs to say that! »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Chrys raises an eyebrow. "You seem familiar...."
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Is there an echo in here or something? :P
<Cody> Light...pretty green light....mmm....
<Cody> «ooc: ...Almost said energy. ;) oh god. »
* Rahne looks down to Cody.. *
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] I thought all the fairies be dead...
<Rachel> Er...I would hope she is, Chrys.. ^^; 
* Cody 's eyes are open bit they are vauge, and rather fever glazed. He then closes them again.
<Cody> «ooc: bit=but »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] I'm still kicking...
* Rachel gazes at Emerald for a minute and wonders idly if her snappiness increases while her size decreases, hoping that she never gets shrunk to a flea size. ;)
<GMStoren> [Emerald] If you're wondering about the weapons though, you ever hear of Keylias of the Emerald Shore?
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] *thinks* Aye, that be familiar... sound like an old pirate clan hero from the beast lands...
* Chrys blinks as the name clicks. "You mean, that time in the Moon Palace...?
<Rachel> . o O (....old pirate clan? Keylia as a pirate? Heheh...ahoy!)
* Rachel shakes her head a bit and refocuses. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Hey, you are smarter than you look. ^_^ That was the form I took long ago... and those weapons were a gift from Morgan for heroism in battle. Really sweet of the big lug too...
<Cody> «ooc: He was also a swingin' shag, baby! Yeah baby yeah! »

<Rahne> << I have faith in your decision, Stor.  You know what's best for the game, and so this is a call you need to make. >>
<GMStoren> Rahen looks down at Cody as the doctor prepares some emdication to hoepfully counter the sickness, but then she notices the peaceful Cody begin to grow a very pale color, like the life is drainign from his cheeks.
* Cody slowly, but surely, begins to wheeze, as if he's trying to suck in precious air, but somehow can't get enough in
* Rahne touches her hand to one of the paling cheeks.. * Cody..?
* Rachel blinks and straightens.. "Cody...!"
<GMStoren> Leorities and Emerald turn around at the sound of his gasps.
* Cody doesn't just feel warm anymore, he feels almost brain frying warm. O_o
<GMStoren> [Doctor..] oh no.. his fever... o_o
<Rachel> Don't just stand there, do something!
* Rahne dunks a cloth in a pan of cold water, wringing it, and resting it on Cody's forehead.. *
* Cody 's wheezing grows louder and it appears he's struggling harder to breathe.
<Rahne> I don't know how to fix this.. I don't know what to do... Oh Goddess...  I'd give anything...
<GMStoren> The doctor tries to hurredly cool off Cody's body with whatever damp towels he can find, also injecting something into his arm. "It's happening too fast.. if this doesn't work..."
<Cody> «ooc: He injects poison! Uh oh! »
* Rachel twitches hard and clenches her hands, unable to do anything besides watch...
<Rachel> <<Whoops, wrong needle! ;)>>
<Cody> A...ahh...R...R...

<Cody> I...I...I just...want to ...I want to be...normal...I want to be...
* Cody begins to wheeze harder, struggling for air, "I just... ... ..."
<Rachel> Oh gods....
* Cody 's face twitches a few times, a single, bloody tear running down his ash white cheecks, when suddenly the rest of his body suddenly jerks and his breathing comes to an abrupt halt, his eyes staring blankly at the cieling
<Rachel> ...CODY!
* Rahne grows cold, and her eyes widen.. *
<Rachel> <<Roric is gonna kill me ;)>>
* Rachel lunges forward to check Cody's pulse, to see if he responds, her breathing frantic...mumbling under her breath madly...
<GMStoren> Emerald floats down to his still chest, staring at the tear intently. "No..."
* Chrys tenses as he sees this, deciding the best course of action is to just be a wallflower and not interfere..
* Rachel looks to Emerald, tears in her eyes... "Do something...someone do something...!"
* Rahne leans over, resting her head on Cody's chest, pressing an ear against it.. *
<Cody> >> There is no pulse. :/
<GMStoren> Nothing.
<Cody> «ooc: Er...^^ We're just telling you agian in case you didn't hear me. ^^; »
<Rachel> <<*idly wonders if doing CPR would help*>>
<Chrys> .oO(I can't do anything...as usual...)
<GMStoren> The doctor comes back with an ciepack, only to see everyone, even the captain huddle around Cody, their faces along telling the story. The ship rocks once, and the ice goes clattering to the floor, a million shimmering pieces of a cracked mirror catching the light, before melting into nothing...
<GMStoren> ~~ END SESSION ~~
* Rahne closes her eyes, balling her hands into little fists, and breaks down into heartwrenching sobs that wrack her tiny body. * No! No! No!
<Rachel> Heh! 
<Rahne> << Rats! ^^; >>
<GMStoren> « moves that ^^ »
<Cody> ^^ Eh, you can add that.
