<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
*** Niki (someone@lsanca1-ar7-216-042.lsanca1.dsl.gtei.net) has joined #pureland
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Niki
<GMStoren> « wb ^^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: (Insert odd OOC to drive me crazy here :D) »
<Niki> «ooc: Did I miss anything? »
<GMStoren> « nope. »
<Cody> «ooc: MAKE MY DAD STOP LISTENING TO COUNTRY OH DEAR GOD ;_; »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^^;; It might help you feel Angsty! »
<Cody> «ooc: Naw! It makes me feel sick! ;) »
<GMStoren> The night at the crude pirate outpost passes uneventfully, as the sun soon creeps up through the rim of the snowy glaciers in the distance and above the ramparts of the settlement. A small horn blows out, rousing the survivors to their senses.
<Cody> «ooc: Can we speak, mister GM person? ^^ »
<GMStoren> All around the pirate crews begin to greet the day, and set about taking inventory of exactly what remains of Del Marr's fortunes.
<GMStoren> « you may go. :) »
* Chrys grumbles as he hears the horn of death, covering his head with his pack.
* Cody stirs a bit at the call of the horn, opening his eyes slowly and taking in just where he is. ^^:
* Niki is already up...the horror. She's sitting on Flammie's back.
* Rachel sleeps onwards, worn out..
<GMStoren> Flammie is laying down near the gate of the fort, almost like a watchdog, waiting for something. ^^
* Rahne 's ears unconsciously fold back, trying to quiet the shrill noise.. *
<Cody> . o O ( ...Looks like she didn't sleep much last night. Again. :/ Geh, she's getting as bad as I used to be... )
* Rhiana is ..well..what else...eating
<GMStoren> « Magic is the ultimate diet plan :) »
* Cody decides to let her sleep in a bit longer, and gently manages to scramble a bit out of the bed so she doesn't awaken. He pulls up the sheets and tucks her in so she's warm, and brushes some hair out of her face.
* Rachel 's face twitches a bit and she murmurs something softly before settling back down...
* Chrys hears various beastmen and non-beastmen making noise and resists the urge to yell at them to shut the hell up, instead standing up and getting straightened up, changing into clean clothes...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Meeeelting :( The angst! :o »
<GMStoren> Cody sees a few stragglers still snoring away, one of which is kicked awake, cussing up a storm down the bunkroom. ^^
* Cody kisses her gently on the forehead, and smiles, before climbing down off the bunk and quickly getting dressed in his own clothes! Yay!
<Chrys> «ooc: What angst, Chris? I see no angst. :P »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Cody can tie his own shoes, joy :D »
<Cody> «ooc: He's so talented! ;_; »
<Cody> «ooc: No more stupid girly robes for him! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Romantic CAR angst! I am Fanboy!Thus sensitive to it! :) »
<Rahne> << Better he wears his own than Rachels. | * Rachel's eyes pop open, and look at Cody.  Cody grins sheepishly and hugs the breastplate to his chest. * <Cody> It's not what you think! ^^;; >>
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: rofl. »
<GMStoren> « okay I feel better. ^_^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne! LOL ^^ »
* Cody walks out of the room for a minute, and walks slowly down the hall, apparently looking for someone or something.
*** Chrys sets mode: +v Radien
<Radien> << Thankoo. >>
<GMStoren> Cody sees a few other rooms arrayed down the hall, which is fairly crowded, but emptying quickly.
* Chrys grumbles and looks around for anyone he knows, half awake.
* Cody stops one of the random people for a moment, "Excuse me...which room is Miss Ward staying in? Do you know?"
<Rachel> <<O_o You slut! :o>>
<Cody> «ooc: ^^; Wow. Jealousy! »
<Rahne> << ;_; >>
<GMStoren> Cody waylays a gruff looking human. "That lass wit tha tail ya mean?"
<Cody> Yes, that's her.. ^^
<Rahne> << Rahne: I am more than my tail! >_< >>
<Cody> «ooc: Oh COME ON! ;) WHINE WHINE WHINE... »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rahne: I have ears too. »
<Rahne> << ^^; >>
<GMStoren> [Pirate] She be in the next room over on yer left, matey.
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne: And a better rack than Miss Rachel. ;_; »
<Cody> Thanks a lot, Sir! ^^
<GMStoren> [Pirate] Oh, ey...
<Cody> Hm?
<GMStoren> [Pirate] You and yer Knight types should go see tha King. He's got flounders to fry wit ya.
<Cody> I see...thank you for telling me...
<GMStoren> He shrugs and walks off to join his comrades.
<Rhiana> «ooc: I love this redneck/pirate dialect they use :D »
<Cody> My knight types...
<GMStoren> « lol ^^ »
<Chrys> Yeh, like me.
* Chrys waves as he sees Cody, on his way over to the young boy.
* Cody shakes his head, and blinks, turning to Chrys, "I don't really like the idea of calling you, "My Knights." It's way too possessive. :/
<Chrys> Eh, it's better us being "your Knights" than you being "the Gemma".
<Chrys> Cuz at least all of us still have names, then...it's just we follow your orders if you have any. ^_-
<Radien> << <Cody> Hmm... How about "Cody's Harem and Monkeyboy Minions" instead? ^_^ >>
<Niki> «ooc: Rad: Don't tempt him. »
<Cody> ^^; Rediculous. The others can believe what they want, but you're all equals to me and that's how I'll treat you.
* Chrys raises his eyebrow. "Anyways, you should get some more rest. You're still sick."
<Rhiana> «ooc: ooooh I'm so glad Rhiana isn't around to hear Chrys say that ;) »
<Cody> No...I'm well enough to walk...^^; 
<GMStoren> « heh ^^ »
<Chrys> Yeah, and you look like you fell in a bucket of flour and are about to pass out.
<Radien> << * Cody trips! "OOF...!" >_< >>
<Cody> I'll head back in a while...I just have really bad cabin fever, and the King wants to see us all anyway...
<Chrys> ...I can hear ya about the cabin fever...
<Cody> Plus I wanted to see how Rahne was doing...
<Cody> ^^; You know...see if she's doing better and everything...
* Chrys shakes his head. "You want me to lead you to the room she was staying in?"
<GMStoren> « btw, the rest of you are free to come in at any time. the fort is not a big place ^^ »
<Cody> Thanks for the offer, but I've already been shown the way. Do you want to come along? :)
<Rhiana> «ooc: Chrys: Well, Rahne has gone off her rocker. She now gallops around the poop deck wearing a newspaper made captain's hat and demands to be called Admiral Ding Ding »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL dingding ^^; »
<GMStoren> « huhwah? ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh no! Rhiana! You whore! You're making me go into....GIGGLY CLAP MODE (tm) »
<GMStoren> « *gasp* »
<Chrys> Yeah...You aren't the only one worried about her... (m) I swear if Keylia screwed around with her last night...
<Niki> «ooc: Lucca is now an honory members of the Klumps now. »
<Cody> «ooc: Wouldn't that be Emerald bynow. »
<Cody> «ooc: Hercules!! »
<Radien> << Hercules! Hercules!! >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Yeah, it would, but Chrys still knows her as Keylia. So does Rahne, it seems. »
<Cody> Then let's go... ^^
<GMStoren> « Youc an call her that if you want ^^ »
<Rahne> << Rahne did it just once, because she was half asleep.  She corrected herself after. ^^; >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys lapses back and forth. One time he'll call her Key, the next Em. »
<GMStoren> Cody picks his way to the room the crewman indicated. Sure enough, Rahne is snoozing away, ears down to blot out the morning signal.
<Rhiana> «ooc: I'm around I guess, stuffin' my face :) »
<Cody> Hmm.. ^^; How am I going to wake her up without her bapping me?
* Chrys notices a small object on the ground, picking it up and nudging Rahne awake. "Easy, let me do it."
<Cody> Hey! Gentle O_o What are you nudging her with?
<Chrys> My hand, silly. :P
<GMStoren> « hehhe ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: I'm holding the object in my other hand. »
* Rahne is curled up until a little ball, her smooth breathing interrupted as she's so rudely prodded. *
<Cody> Rahne? ^^; Wakey wakey? It's morning...
* Chrys sighs, handing the object to Rahne as her eyes look towards him. "You apparently dropped this when you were asleep."
<Rachel> <<Too easy.>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: until=into. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: :P »
<Chrys> «ooc: ... »
<Cody> «ooc: I know. It's why Id idn't say anything. HERCULESSSS! »
*** Windstar (mikemccart@cs2734-20.austin.rr.com) has joined #pureland
* Rahne 's eyes snap open, and her ears stand upright, and as she sits up she hastily pulls up the covers around her, making a little strangled eep noise in an attempt to hide her nightclothes from the boys! * O_o;
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rahne> Cody..!  Chrys..!  ^^;;
<Cody> Gah--! Er...good morning? ^^;;;
* Chrys chuckles nervously, edging back a bit. "Geez, sorry! I didn't mean to freak you out... s'just that Cody says we need t'get up, and I noticed the..ehm...gift on the floor, and didn't think you'd wanna leave it behind..." ^^;;
<Cody> I'm really sorry, Rahne...I should have knocked... *^^*
* Rahne blinks, her eyes darting to the window.. * Yeah.. I guess it is morning. ^^;
*** Radien is now known as Radien_away
* Chrys offers the small figurine to Rahne again, placing it next to her and stepping back. "I'll let you two have some private time or something okay buhbye..." ^^;;;
* Rahne remains wrapped in the blankets, her head poking out. * Good morning, Cody, Master Chrys. ^^;;
* Chrys nervously edges out of the room, afraid Rahne'll yell at him.
* Rahne takes the figure. * Thank you, Chrys. ^^ Don't look so.. so..
<Cody> ^^;;; Erhm. Good bye, Chrys...tell the others we have to meet with the King if they can, or he might...tell pirate stories or something. ^^;;
* Chrys stops. "Uh..so what?"
* Chrys nods at Cody. "Well, that is, um, yeah."
<Cody> «ooc: SO close to saying, "He might pop our tiny little heads off our twiggy little necks and op us in the pooters till our butts bleed! »
* Rahne trails off as she tries to find a word.. * ..I dunno.. like you're walking on eggshells. ^^;;
<GMStoren> « I'll mount em on me trophy wall! Hahahah! ^_^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Mwahaha, I think Chrys is traumitised :o »
<Cody> I think he just feels bad for invading your privacy...
<Chrys> Well, I didn't mean to startle you like that... ^^;;
<Cody> «ooc: BRB »
* Chrys nods at what Cody said.
* Rahne shifts around uncomfortably, wrestling a bit with the blankets.. * Hrmm..
* Rahne pokes her tail out from underneath them, which immediately begins wagging. * No.. it's quite alright, really. ^^;; I was a little startled though.
<Rhiana> «ooc: And the blankets pin Rahne! »
<Chrys> Kay... Sorry about that.. I won't do it again. ^^;
<Chriswizard> «ooc: *ding*!One point to blankets :o »
<Rahne> It's okay.  I know I sleep like a rock. ^^;
<GMStoren> « you know in scary movie 2, this plant monster rolls up this guy in blankets and smokes him like a blunt. ^^ »
* Chrys chuckles nervously. "Anyways, I'm sure you two'd have a lot more to talk about in private than with me here blubbering like an idiot..."
<Cody> Chrys... ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Why are you telling us this? »
* Rahne frowns a bit at Chrys, her tail slowing.. * Don't say such things, Master Chrys..
<Chrys> Yeah, Cod'? ^^;
<GMStoren> « just reminding me of it. I laughed so hard. ;) »
* Chrys looks back at Rahne. "Well, it's true.."
<Cody> Nothing...
* Cody wipes a bit of sweat from his brow, looking a bit more relaxed.
* Rahne sighs, giving Chrys a sympathetic look.. *
<Chrys> Anyways, Rahne...I'm sorry I walked in on you while you were...
<Cody> «ooc: sleeping ;) »
* Chrys trails off a minute. .oO(Almost nude in your nightclothes? NO, you idiot! Something else! Say something else!)
<Rhiana> «ooc: Let's just leave it at sleeping, you pervs :P »
<Rahne> It's okay, Master Chrys.  It happens. ^^;;
<Chrys> Uhm, sleeping.. ^^
* Rahne smiles warmly, her tail resuming it's happy thumping against the bed. *
<Rachel> <<*snorts*>>
<Cody> «ooc: We made her happy! oh god ;_; »
<GMStoren> « why does that rahne make me want to pet her like a puppy? ;_; »
<GMStoren> « er rahne line that is ^^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Storen: I know! :o »
* Chrys fidgets a bit. "Anyways, as I keep saying, I should go and let you two talk. Besides, Cody wanted me to find everyone else..."
<Cody> «ooc: Sort of like how Allen makes me wanna pet him like a puppy. ^^ »
<Cody> I'll meet up with you guys soon...
<Chrys> «ooc: Unfortunately, I know too. ;_; »
<Rahne> Okay, Master Chrys.  Do take care. ^^
* Chrys nods, making his way out, sweating nervously. "I will..."
* Cody sighs and shakes his head a bit. ^^;
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 35: Prayer of the Arctic Circle | Location: South Point Lookout | Time: Luna's Day, Morning | 1930 Luc -=-'
<Chrys> «ooc: Should I RP at the same time they are, or you want Cody and Rahne to do their thing, Stor? »
<Cody> «ooc: No, go ahead and RP ^^ »
<GMStoren> « You can do simul. I don't see why not. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: I think I can keep up :D »
<Chrys> «ooc: Kay. ^^ »
<Cody> You feeling okay, Rahne? I was worried about you. :/
<Rachel> <<Go wake me up, Chrys ;)>>
* Chrys closes the door behind himself and immediately resists the urge to beat his head against the wall. .oO(THAT was wonderful, you damn cassanova...yeesh, you think you could act any MORE afraid of her?)
* Chrys shakes his head, starting off to look for people.
<Cody> «ooc: No! let Rachel sleep :D »
<Chrys> «ooc: I might. Dunno. ;) You might be last, in which case I'll get in humorous sexual situations! ;) »
* Rahne 's eyes slowly turn to Cody, tail's pace falling a bit.. * Well.. I had been, I guess.. all things taken into consideration..
<GMStoren> Flammie raises her head up that Niki happen to be petting, looking at all the people running around inside the fort.
<Niki> Huh?
* Cody sits down on the bed for a moment, his face a bit wan, "I'm glad...^^; I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to talk to you much...Ive spent most of the time sleeping...I'm sort of stir crazy... ^^;"
<Rahne> << <Flammie>  Mmmmmm....   people....  Grahgraghgraghgraghgraghgragh.... >>
* Chrys notices Niki and Flammie and runs up to them. "Hey, Niki!
<Niki> Hi.  Whats up?
<GMStoren> [Flammie] Rowr?
* Rahne 's tail stops altogether, resting still. * It's okay.. I know you've got alot of things to worry about n'stuff.. You do still look a little pale..
<GMStoren> A cold gust of wind blows across the three, ruffling Flammie's off-white fur.
<Chrys> Nothing much, it's just that... *takes a breath, at the same time trying to word this right* we can't go QUITE yet because apparently the king wants to yammer on to us about something.
* Rahne smiles again though, tail reflecting that. * But you are looking alot better. ^^
* Chrys shivers a bit, blinking.
<Niki> About what?
<GMStoren> Chrys notices Joch's huddling in Flammies fur somewhere.. ^^
<Cody> I feel a  lot better. ^^ Well, compaired to what I was before....
<Cody> I don't remember a lot of it...just that I hurt...^^; I wouldn't wish that on anyone! But it's over now...
<Cody> . o O ( Isn't it? )
<GMStoren> « heh. »
<Chrys> I'm not sure, but I think it's important... I think we'll need to hear it if we want to have a better chance of saving your sister.. ^^;
<Rachel> <<Joch and Flammie form a parasitic relationship in which Joch eats the ticks and mites from Flammie's back and Flammie protects Joch from predators!....damn that Discovery Channel.>>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
<GMStoren> « hehe :) »
<Niki> «ooc: lol. »
<Roric> «ooc: That's symbiotic, actually. »
<Cody> «ooc: AGH! I'm CLAPPING AGAIN »
<Roric> «ooc: Or mutualistic, maybe. I forget. »
* Chrys notices a little yellow beak sticking out of Flammie's fur and nudges it. "Hey, Jock...or whatever it was they named you."
<Rachel> <<Mutualistic.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Symbiotic works too :p »
<Niki> «ooc: Wait...if your clapping then how do you type? Do you type with your nose while you clap or something? ;) »
<GMStoren> Joch's head pops out. "Kweh??"
<Cody> «ooc: I clap, then I type ^^ »
* Niki flicks Chrys' hand away. "Shh, Joch is sleeping."
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys forgot that we named the bird after Rahne's mentor who tragically died? »
* Chrys chuckles. "Okay, all right."
<Niki> Umm...I guess not.
* Rahne seems a little more sad.. * ..You didn't miss much.. just alot of fretting on the part of Rachel and myself..
<Chrys> «ooc: No, he forgot the name of Rahne's mentor who tragically died. ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: Heheheh. Damn, no more OOC for me. »
<Cody> I know you two took good care of me...I'll always be thankful for that. Someday, I'll return the favor...
* Rahne smiles again though, looking to Cody bravely. * But you are better.. and I think you'll continue to get better. ^^
<Cody> ^^; I hope. It's hard to be with your friends when you're in bed. ^^;
<Rachel> <<...>>
<Chrys> «ooc: AUGH. TOO EASY. »
* Chrys shakes his head. "Anyways, you know where anyone else is, Niki?"
* Niki looks at Chrys. "Okay, where is everyo...I was gonna ask that."
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah, I know, I know. I mean, we could do scary, sexual things...like playing fort! *Cymbalclash* »
<GMStoren> « well there is a pirate flag and cannons. :D »
<Cody> «ooc: My cannon is bigger than yours, Vyse! »
<Rachel> <<....you people...so...obscene. ^^>>
<GMStoren> « lol »
* Chrys chuckles. "I know where Cody and Rahne are...You know where Tori is? You know, the insane one?" ^^;
* Rahne blushes. * Well.. the worst part is not being able to move all that much. I can sympathize now. ^^;
<Niki> Umm...
<GMStoren> « where are Tori and Roric though? ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: That's what I wanna know. :o »
* Niki looks at Flammie. "Do you know where they are?"
<Cody> ^^; Anyway, I should probably go so you can change. I mean, it was rude enough waltzing in her without knocking ^^;
<Tori> <<Tori would've crashed in one of the empty rooms>>
<Chrys> «ooc: "Waltzing in her"? »
<Cody> The King wanted to see us...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: I don't get any of the jokes you're talking about o-o. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Good. »
<GMStoren> Flammie cranes her neck to Niki, and looks at the fort...
<Chrys> «ooc: You don't need to. »
* Chrys shakes his head. "Thaaanks, Flammie. I figured they were in there, since they aren't out here." ;)
<Rahne> It's okay..  I know I can kinda sleep a little deep.  Miss Luka often gave me trouble for sleeping in. ^^;  You can stick around if you like, as long as you keep your eyes closed and face the other way while I run over to my satchel and get something on. ^^;;
<GMStoren> [Flammie] Rowr! *looks a bit put off* ^^
<Rachel> <<*raises an eyebrow at Cody*>>
<Cody> ^^; Erhm...That's too rude, I think. How about I stand outside the door? ^^; 
* Niki pets Flammie. "Come on, lets go look for them."
* Chrys chuckles, petting Flammie lightly. "It's okay, girl, I don't hold it against you. Hmm..Let's see...if Rhiana's up, she's probably scarfing the pirates' food supply up..."
<Rahne> That works. ^^;  No peeking. ^^;;
<Cody> Okay ^^;
* Cody walks outside the room and gently closes the door, leaning against the wall a little too heavily, starting to look really tired.
<GMStoren> Flammie gives Niki a sad look. She's waaaay too big to fit in the gate, and would probably collapse a wall walking over it. ^^
* Rahne fumbles around, hastily getting dressed and trying to at least look pseudo presentable.. *
<Niki> Hmm...how about we fly around here first looking for anyone outside.  Then come back here and I can look inside.
* Chrys nods. "Thanks for the help, Niki. I'll look inside if you want, though." ^^;
<GMStoren> [Flammie] mmmrrr...
<Cody> «ooc: mmmmm-grrrss! »
<GMStoren> Flammie seems to agree. She walks away and starts to flap her four wings. Soon, she's circling the fort area. whee. ^_^
* Rahne , once back in her simple garb, opens the door, peeking out to see the exhausted Cody. Her tail's happy wagging slows once again.. * ..Cody..
<GMStoren> Niki sees a lot of tiny people, with several squads outside the fort bringing in wreckage still through the back gate. Smaller bands are hunting the forests, partially obscured byt the trees in spots. Nobody really seems to stand out.
* Cody blinks and looks up, "Oh...Rahne..."
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ That sounds like a PORN NOVEL. OH Cody. Oh rahne. Oh do me! »
<Rachel> <<*snorts*>>
* Chrys walks back inside, noticing Cody and Rahne. "Hey, you alright? I -told- you you should lie down, Cod'..."
<GMStoren> ooc lol
* Niki squints, trying to see anyone. "Man, everyone looks like ants."
<GMStoren> « eep ^^ »
<Cody> No...no really...I'm fine...
<GMStoren> Far to the south she can see a dark could of some type over a big city in the distance...
<Cody> We have to talk to the King...then I can lie down...
<Chrys> ...Cody...
* Chrys sighs.
* Rahne sighs, though she musters a soft smile.. * I know you're strong.. everyone knows.. but you musn't drive yourself like this..
<Cody> Please...I really hate being left out...Maybe I can just get some strong coffee or something...
<Niki> «ooc: * Niki squints again. "Whats a PS2 game doing over there?" »
<Rahne> The king can wait..  the world can wait.  And coffee isn't the answer..
<GMStoren> « Del Marr pirates lots of things! mwah! :) »
* Chrys sighs. "Rahne... let him go. He's stubborn... and besides."
* Niki looks at the dark cloud..."Whats that?"
* Chrys places his hand on Cody's shoulder. "I won't let him get hurt, alright?"
<GMStoren> Flammie looks at the cloud a little angrily.
<Cody> Chrys...I...Thanks...I promise I'll lie down after we talk with the King...
<Cody> «ooc: Flammie: Fucking smog. Now I gotta call Captain planet! »
<Niki> «ooc: AGH! »
<Rahne> He's not nearly as stubborn as me.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Don't you mean Admiral Ding Ding? »
<GMStoren> « lOL »
<Cody> «ooc: ...Giggleclap :D »
* Chrys raises his eyebrow at Rahne, speaking quietly. "...I noticed that these past few days..."
* Chrys shakes his head.
<Niki> «ooc: <Cody> Let our powers combine! Earth! <Rachel> Water! <Rahne> Wind! <Chrys> Fire! <Roric> Fuck 'his shit... * Captain Planet forms with no head. »
* Cody stands up, "We should find the others...I know Rachel is sleeping in her room..."
* Rahne looks to Cody with sad eyes.. * You need to stop this.. It won't kill the king if you go lie down for a while now..
<Rachel> <<our room. -our- room ;)>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lol ^^;;; »
* Chrys starts off towards the mess hall. "C'mon, Cody... if you want to come along... If not, get some sleep, okay...?"
<Rahne> Goddess knows there'll be a while yet with the others getting organized and whatnot..
<Cody> I'm coming...
<Cody> Well, I'm sure I can sit down in a chair and doze while we wait. Let's see where everyone is...
<Niki> Come on, lets go see what that cloud is.
* Chrys sighs, looking a bit pained as he stops and looks over his shoulder. "Rahne...let him go. Okay? I know how much you care about him, but he'll be fine... if not, you can blame me."
<Roric> «ooc: Wasn't Niki flying above the city? O_o »
<Chrys> «ooc: Yes. she still is. But she spotted a cloud in the distance. »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh. »
<Niki> «ooc: I still am. »
<Roric> «ooc: She's talking to FLAMMIE. »
<Roric> «ooc: oK. »
* Rahne stands there in the hall, clasping her hands together in her lap, and looking down.. *
<Chrys> I'm sorry if it makes you upset, but I can't seem to make everyone happy, and...
* Roric materializes from around a corner, wiping his face vigorously with his poncho. When he lower it, he sees thef little assembly. "Oh, mornin'."
<GMStoren> Flammie hovers once, she looks reluctant. "Rowrrgrrr..." She looks back down, like a signal to Niki that she shouldn't do something like tyhat without her friends.
* Chrys trails off, muttering something under his breath. He lifts his head as he sees Roric. "Ah, boozeboy. I was just about to look for you."
<Cody> Rahne...I'll be okay...Please trust me...
<Roric> «ooc: Flammie: Shouldn't you talk to the king first? »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL »
<Roric> I'm touched. What's up?
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^^;;;; »
* Cody smiles gently at her.
<Chrys> Leorites wants to talk, apparently, according to Cody.
<Niki> Don't wanna go...okay. Go back and we can fly around and look again.  Try to go a little closer so I can see better.
<Rahne> I do..  I do so much it hurts..  and it hurts worse when I see you hurt yourself trying to keep everyone happy..
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Cody> «ooc: Flammie: Mmggrrrrrrrrrgh >:/ *Fuck you, girl! We have to see the KING And stop squeezing the charmin! >:/ »
<Rahne> ..Just like Chrys says, not everyone can be happy..  go lay down, Cody..  I'll speak with the King, I'll make him understand.
<Roric> «ooc: Damn! I wanted Niki to go on alone. »
* Chrys twitches as he hears Rahne's words, looking away from the group. "Fine..."
<GMStoren> « Flammie won't though. ^^ »
<Rahne> This is the sort of thing I was trained to do..
<Rachel> <<Dude... Rahne is so....mommy-like O_o>>
<Cody> No...Really...I'm fine Rahne...Please let me talk with him...
* Chrys mutters, walking off. "I'm gonna go find everyone else, okay?!"
<Cody> I just don't..
* Cody trails off.
<Niki> «ooc: Cody: Black words = evil. »
<GMStoren> Flammie sweeps a little closer to the shore in a wide arc. Niki can identify the city as Vandole.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Chrys has enough mood changes to have a period every 15 minutes »
<GMStoren> Northtown to be specific.
* Rahne sighs, closing her eyes.. * Don't worry.. even if you do go to lay down, I won't be happy either.
<Chrys> «ooc: Enygma, hush. It's true, but hush. »
<Cody> No...it's just...
* Cody bites her lip..."I don't want to be left behind anymore..."
<Cody> «ooc: Her? HIS! LOL! »
<Rahne> << ^^; >>
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! I can't tell me GENDER :D »
<GMStoren> The black cloud prevents further sight. It seems very thick, like an unnatural fog over the castle.
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o Wow, that was vindictive, Rahne. "Don't worry, I'll still feel horrid even if you don't make me feel that way, so stop trying." »
<Niki> Northtown?  I remember when I came here with my parents.  It was boring.
<GMStoren> « what about when you snuck in Niki? hehe ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: That too. »
<Rahne> No one's leaving you behind, Cody..  You won't miss anything..  Trust me..  I wouldn't be so adamant if it were important.  but right now, nothing is more important to me than seeing my friend get better..
<Cody> How about this...
<Niki> «ooc: Are we that close to Northtown? Or did Northtown move? »
<Rahne> Kings and State can go on hold.  I'll order it.. -_-;
<Cody> If the meeting goes on too long, I promise I'll excuse myself for some sleep. ^^;
<Cody> Can't we reach a happy medium? ^^;
<Roric> Why are we orderin' stuff again?
<GMStoren> « it didn't. You're on the southmost point of the icy north continent. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Melon in the beer bottle effect, folks... »
<GMStoren> « this is the Vandole lookout fort. :) »
<Rachel> <<*snorts at Chrys* Don't steal my words.>>
<Cody> «ooc: I want melon ;_; »
* Rahne can't help but smile, her tail reflecting this brief moment of humor. * Only if that medium means you get your rest first. ^^;
<Cody> ^^; Erhm. Well...Thing is...I don't think the God Beasts will wait...
* Chriswizard gives Cody a melon! :o
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Ack, ooc :( »
<GMStoren> « did Roric just appear therE? :o »
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
<Cody> «ooc: LOL :D Cameo :D »
<GMStoren> « lol Chris ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: W...ait. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^_^ »
<Roric> «ooc: I thought Chrys was with Cody and Rahne. »
* Rahne tweaks Cody on the nose, still smiling.. * I'm a shewd negociator.. Like I said.. this is what i do.
<Chrys> «ooc: He was when Roric walked up. Then he walked off. »
<Roric> «ooc: OK, I stayed. »
* Cody laughs, "Well...^^; We'll see where everyone is in ten minutes or so."
<Rhiana> «ooc: brb..gotta reboot »
<Rahne> And don't worry about the God-Beasts..  we all know what happened the last time one tried to cross me..
* Cody laughs a bit. ^^
* Niki continues to look at Northtown, remembering the time she sneaked in with Flora. She then puts her head up against Flammie's back.
<Cody> Anyway, I should go find the others...Tori and Rhiana are unnacounted for, still. I know where Rachel is...
<Rachel> <<en mes pantalones>>
<Roric> I'll get lookin' for Tori.
<Rahne> Now go rest.  When the important stuff comes up, I'll see about waking you up.  Chrys can round up the others.
* Roric disappears down the halls, checking various rooms.
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys IS. And Ror appears to be too. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Pull a meanwhile for me if you want, Stor. »
<GMStoren> Flammie starts to slowly head back to the fort with Niki aboard. To the far north, beyond the icy wastes, there is a tiny island that reflects the light... it too seems to have a haze around it, only greenish in hue.
*** Dayanara (enygma@chi4-port06.ntso.com) has joined #PureLand
*** Rahne sets mode: +o Dayanara
<Niki> «ooc: <Niki> Ooh, Pureland! Lets go fight the Gryphon Claws! »
*** Rhiana (enygma@chi3-port17.ntso.com) Quit (Local kill by Rahne (Ghostie!))
*** Dayanara is now known as Rhiana
<GMStoren> « No, you're actualyl seeing the Tree palace. ;) »
* Niki looks at the island. "Whats that?"
<Cody> Okay...deal. Make sure to fetch me once the meeting starts... :)
<Rachel> <<Hmm.>>
<GMStoren> « rache? going to awake? Tori? ^^ Roric should find you :o »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody is heading back to their room ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Cody is hea...yeah. ;)>>
* Cody waves and heads back to his room.
<Chrys> «ooc: Yeah, Stor. Chrys is gonna find Rhi, Ror should find Tor, Cody Rache. »
* Rahne smiles. * You bet. Now go grab a quick nap. ^^
<Cody> . o O ( Guh...so tired... )
* Rahne waves back, wagging and smiling for bear, but as she turns away she wrestles with the onset of tears.. *
<GMStoren> « Chrys is walking off? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Uh, Chrys -walked- off. »
<Cody> «ooc: Dammit, Rahne! Can't I ever make you happy! ;) »
* Rahne goes to address the King.. *
<Roric> «ooc: -l +n »
<Chrys> «ooc: He was sick of Cody and Rahne butting heads. »
<Rahne> << You did! :) >>
<Cody> «ooc: She has tears now! Why? ^^ »
<GMStoren> Chrys wanders the complex, passing the mess hall.. to which plenty of people are grabbing a bite to eat from the stores of the outpost. Rahne is among them, chowing down with the best of 'em.
* Cody opens the door to his room, feeling a bit bad that he's going to have to Rachel up.
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne=Rhiana? ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Rahne? Funny, Rahne's breasts were smaller five minutes ago. »
<Rachel> <<*chokes*>>
<GMStoren> « eep ^^ »
<GMStoren> « sorry :) »
* Rachel is squirming in the bunk, the tattered remains of the bed sheet in her clenched hands. ^^;
* Chrys walks past, blinking and backpedaling, nodding and rolling his eyes as he sees Rhiana stuffing her face like he expected.
<GMStoren> One of the rooms Roric passes contains the errant Tori, sleeping like a rock, passed out on one of the bunks.
* Tori is laying on the bed as the morning sunlight filters in, surrounded by a variety of wrecked furniture strewn around the room.
<Cody> ...Rachel? O_o
* Roric chuckles and slips inside, hovering over Tori quietly and staring at his closed eyes.
<Chrys> Hey, Rhi!
* Cody rushes to the bed and clambers up quickly, "Hey!"
<Rahne> << Because Cody made her happy, and she likes the happiness very much and treasures it, and would like more.  but she knows it's not gonna happen. ^^;; >>
<Cody> «ooc: Pessamist ^^ »
* Rachel rips the sheet further before lurching away from Cody, her breathing quick and flighty.. "Hhh....hh...get....away...away....Kur...rrr..."
* Rhiana looks up at whoever called her name, "Hmmm?"
* Cody shakes her gently, soothingly, "Rachel...It's me...it's me! Wake up...!"
* Chrys walks up. "Hey there, Rhi. Save some for the rest of us, okay?"
<Rahne> << Pessamist yes. ^^;  But prove me wrong. ^^;; >>
* Rhiana raises an eyebrow at Chrys, "What's that supposed to mean, Shortround?"
* Rachel snaps her eyes open and bites hard into her bottom lip, stifling a yell. She stares at Cody for a few moments as if seeing a ghost... "Hhhnn!"
<Rachel> <<HHHNNN! ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: "Pessimist" »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
<GMStoren> « :O »
<Roric> «ooc: Rahne: Cody's not going to have hot oral sex with me six times in a single day! Prove me wrong! »
<Rahne> << Not like that. ;_; >>
<Roric> toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiii
<Chrys> ..."Shortround"? What kinda name is that?
* Cody gently holds her hand, "It's me...it was just a nitemare..."
<Chrys> «ooc: Roric, you're evil. ;) »
<Tori> Shhh. Can't you see I'm sleeping?
* Rachel shakes her head and recognition flows into her dark gaze...she blinks tiredly. "Oh....uh....whoops.."
* Rachel looks down at the shredded bedsheets. ^^;
* Rhiana wipes her mouth gently, very lady like, "It's what you're gonna be, if you're implying that I eat too much,"
<Chrys> ...
* Cody cradles her gently, "He's not here...It's okay..."
<Cody> ...And we can replace bedsheets. ^^:
* Tori pushes himself up to a sitting position and opens his eyes.
<Tori> What?
* Rachel wraps her arms around Cody and breathes deep.. "...he? Yeah..I know...it's okay...just another bad dream..."
<Roric> Well, if ya can sleepwalk, the group's gettin' together. *grin*
<Cody> Dreams can't hurt you. You told me that...I'll always be here when you wake up... :)
* Rhiana takes a long drink off of a glass of water before standing up, "So where's the fire, kid?"
<Cody> «ooc: Except when I become the tree and DIE FOR YOUR SINS! >:O »
<Tori> Fine.
* Tori stands up and kicks some debris out of the way, sending it hurtling towards the one piece of funriture left more or less intact: A mirror leaning against the wall.
<Rachel> <<....even then, I'll love your precious hard wooden trunk!....damn, now I'm horny.>>
<Chrys> Dunno. The king's supposed to tell us, since he wants us all to see him. Someone just needed to tell you and I happened to be the unlucky one.
* Rachel nods a little and releases Cody, smiling almost meekly. "Uh....why are you awake before me...?" ^^;
<GMStoren> Rahne eventually leaves the large barracks, and heads for the only other building on hand, which is decorated with a standard of del Marr above the large oaken doors.
* Rhiana grins, "That happy to see me, eh?"
<Cody> ^^; I let you sleep in...
<Rachel> Sleep in? O_o
* Roric picks up a shard of shattered mirror about half the size of his fist, carrying it with him as he leads Tori out of the room.
<Chrys> Hey, it's not my fault you hate me.
<Cody> Yeah...everyone else is up...We're supposed to see the king...but when I woke up this morning, you still looked tired...
* Chrys shrugs.
* Rachel blinks a few times in amusement at Cody before leaning over to kiss him softly. "Thanks, stud. Thoughtful of you."
* Rhiana waves her finger, "I don't hate anyone, kid. I was only joshing you."
* Rahne steadly approaches the gates, straightening out her dress mumbling.. * Hrmm.. if I knew I would be doing this, I'd have dressed a little more for the occasion..
* Cody kisses back, blushing, "You're welcome..."
<GMStoren> The mirror in the room lays broken... seven years bad luck never seemed so good when the world could end tomorrow. ^^
* Rhiana grins, "Besides, you do know why I eat so much, right?"
<Rachel> So...the king wants to see us, hm? Well then, best not to keep him waiting. ^_-
<Cody> Right...I'm coming too, of course... ^^
<Roric> «ooc: *adds "jagged mirror shard" to his private inventory. ^^ »
<Chrys> I figure spells take energy, and hence you need more food. Simple. Either that or you like being a glutton. I hope it's the first.
<Rhiana> Yep.  Spells take a lot out of this delicate little flower that I am.
* Chrys quirks an eyebrow, hehing. "Delicate, you? Reeeeally."
* Rachel runs a hand through her hair, blinking at the length of it... "Of course, Cody....!" ^_-
<Chrys> More like a venus flytrap, if you ask me...
* Cody grins a bit. ^^
* Rhiana snickers, "Outside of what my outward appearance might be, I'm not nearly as rugged and tough as you might think I am."
<Niki> «ooc: *gets the urge to make Flammie buzz the Del Marr barracks. ;) »
<Chrys> You act the part.
* Rachel wiggles her legs against Cody's hip. "If, of course, you get out of my way. Unless you'd rather keep me in bed all day?"
* Rachel raises an eyebrow.
<GMStoren> Flammie lands outside the gate again, the chocobo in her fur lookign frazzled from the ride. ^^
<Cody> Ack! Sorry...I'm gonna rest my eyes a bit...let me know when you're ready to go, okay? :)
* Cody crawls down to the bottom bunk. ^^
* Rhiana nods, "Well, I did work in a bar. If I didn't act that way, then I wouldn't be so...well...so well off."
* Rachel chuckles and slides off the top bunk, shaking her head as she strips the informal clothes off and beginning to put her armored gear on. ^^
* Chrys shrugs. "I get the idea. Same idea that I can't be a thief without being an asshole."
* Niki slides down Flammie's leg then sticks her nose next to the little yellow beak of Jochs. "You gonna come with me or stay here?"
<GMStoren> [Joch] Kweh! *He hops onto Niki's head*
* Rhiana snarls, "Are you calling me an asshole?"
* Cody closes his eyes, and curls up into a adorable little ball ^^
<GMStoren> « Adorable ball? oy. ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: *dribbles Cody* »
<Cody> «ooc: HAHAHA. Yes, melt, my children, MELT OH OH HOHO »
* Niki looks to Flammie next. "Okay, we'll be right back."
<Cody> «ooc: Hey, don't pee on me, Roric ;_; »
* Chrys steps back. "Easy, Rhi, easy! I wasn't, unless I was also implying that you stole from the royal Pandoran Family... I wasn't... just saying I'm an asshole, you're tough, it's part of the jobs we do. That's all."
<GMStoren> [Flammie] Rowrr... *nods*
* Rachel glances over her shoulder at Cody, grinning a bit... she then loops a small piece of cloth around her hair, tying it back from her face into a makeshift ponytail..
<Chriswizard> «ooc: brb! »
<GMStoren> « brb a moment. please assemble if posible :) »
*** Chriswizard (Chris@ACB73E1B.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Quit: )
<Rachel> <<Getting there, dear luv. ^^>>
* Niki starts heading towards the King's room, making a quick run through the barracks to make a quick person check.
<Cody> zzz...
* Roric assembles.
<Rachel> . o O (Only Cody would sleep while I'm getting naked in front of him....ah well....no time for that anyway...)
* Tori follows Roric, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he goes.
* Rachel shakes her head and turns, slinging her sword onto her back....she looks amused at the now sleeping Cody. ^^;
* Rachel leans over Cody and lightly tickles his sides.
* Cody grrghs and opens his eyes quickly! O_o
<Cody> Ah-! Wh...wh...er...hi? O_o
<Rachel> Hi there. ^_- Are we going or did you want to sleep?
<Cody> No...I'll come with you...
<Rahne> << * rahne baps Rachel! * Leave him alone!  He's sleeping! O_o >>
* Cody sits up.
<Rachel> <<*snorts* ;) Unlike Rahne, I don't FORCE people to do things they don't wanna ;)>>
<Cody> Hope they have nice, plush chairs. ^_^
<Rachel> I'm sure they do. ^_- 
<Niki> «ooc: <Rachel> Get up bitch! Were seeing the King! Lets go...NOW! I'm not forcing you, but get your ass in gear! »
* Chrys shakes his head. "Anyways, Rhi, let's go.." ^^;
* Chrys slowly walks off, hoping Rhiana is following him to the King.
* Rachel offers her hand to Cody. "Let's go...they're probably all there already, waiting on the terrible two."
* Rhiana takes a chicken leg and walks off
<Rhiana> Guess I need to go see the King
<Cody> Kay...
* Cody takes her hand. :)
* Rachel gently tugs Cody against her, kissing him deeply and gently before tugging him out the door! ^_-
*** Radien_away (zipo@c339940-b.eugene1.or.home.com) Quit (Quit: Quote #92 <Sotek> ...I do not want to have sex with your 'harpoon gun'. :P)
* Niki runs down the halls just as Rachel walks out. She stops right next to her, flailing her around around trying to regain her balance. "Whoa...whoa whoa..."
<Rachel> Gack!
<Cody> Whoa-! O_o
<Niki> «ooc: flailing her around around...ACK! flailing her arms around! »
* Rachel cringes away from Niki before blinking and trying to steady Niki. "Hey there, Niki, where's the fire?"
<Rachel> <<steady her. Gah.>>
<GMStoren> Rahne arrives first to the meeting hall, which is decorated very sparsely, with only a few benches arrayed around a very large circular table, upon which an old, detailed map of the entire world is laid.
<Niki> We need to see the king, so I was looking for people.  I found you. :D
<Rachel> Er, yes, you did. ^^; Let's go.
* Rahne sighs, something in the back of her head telling her that things are not going good, and today is only going to get worse. *
<Rachel> <<Emerald: YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! STUPID FOXGIRL!>>
<GMStoren> King Leorities is pouring over it, flanked by Jeziel and his first mate...
<Rahne> << <Rahne> I tried that.  I didn't work. :P >>
<GMStoren> Behind him you see a trapdoor, leading somewhere below, to which people are moving crates and random things into and out of storage. ^^
<Roric> «ooc: *cuts Rahne's head off* No, see, it's easy. »
* Rachel heads for the King's chamber with Niki and Cody in tow. ^^;
* Rahne clears her throat, folding her hands in her lap. *
* Niki follows Rachel with Joch enjoying the view from the top of her head.
<Rachel> <<Fashionably late, as usual. ^^>>
<GMStoren> ~Hey, why so glum?~
<Rahne> << To whom is that addressed? >>
* Chrys walks in, unconsciously sitting down next to Rahne and putting his head on the table.
<Cody> «ooc: YOu should know Emerald...YOU DUMB BITCH, YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION! EMERALD YOU SHOULD KNOW! »
<Rachel> <<WTF ;)>>
<GMStoren> Emerald seems to wake up , noticing Rahne's surroundings.
<Cody> «ooc: Play and win Lunar2! »
<GMStoren> « this is only to rahne ^^ »
* Cody slumps into one of the benches, also laying his head down on the table.
<Rahne> ~?~
<Rahne> ~!~
<Rahne> ~You're in me?!~
* Rachel trails in beside Cody, with Niki too...she sits down with him. ^^;
<Rachel> <<lol.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne: Eww! I'm so dirty now! The dirt won't come off! ;_; »
* Rahne looks across to Cody.. *
<GMStoren> The king looks to Chrys, and the other party memebrs. "Arr... there ye lubbers be!"
* Cody sits up a bit, "Good morning, sir. ^^"
<Chrys> ....Yeah, we're here.
<Rachel> Yes, sorry for the wait, King Leorities.
* Roric waves. "Yep, 'ere we be."
* Niki sits down against a wall.
<GMStoren> ~Well I was napping in your head last night. So yeah, I'm inside of you. Don't worry, I'm not peeking in anywhere.~
* Chrys mutters to himself as he rests his head on the table. Rahne picks up him saying something about stubbornness, somoene butting heads, and nobody ever being completely happy...
* Rahne stands, looking a little distracted.. * I'm sorry, Highness.. I must excuse myself..
<Cody> Rahne? Are you all right? :/
* Rahne calmly exits the room.. *
<Cody> Rahne...?
<GMStoren> ~Aww... don't do that Rahne. There's work to do.~
* Rachel blinks a little.
* Cody sighs...
<GMStoren> Emerald appears floating in mdiair from Rahne's ear. ^^
<Rachel> <<Take over her body! Make her come back! dude, make her dance while doing it!>>
* Roric looks at the shutting doors. "(q)What's 'er thing?"
* Chrys looks up, looking at Rahne and muttering again. "None of your fucking business, Ror."
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Rough night, ey mateys?
<Rahne> Go back to Miss Rachel, Miss Emerald.  Join the winning team. :P
<Rachel> ....yes, it would seem so, your Highness. ^^;
* Roric gives Chrys a look. "...righty then."
<Rachel> <<Ouch. ;)>>
<GMStoren> « gah. :P »
<Chrys> ...Rough year.
* Chrys stands up. "Anyone think I should check up on her?" -_-
<Cody> I'll do it...
* Cody stands up and walks out before anyone can tell him no ;)
<Chrys> ...Cody, don't. If you pass out while you're...
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] I wanted to see all of you. The fairy ass said something about a battle plan for these scurvy ebasties.
* Roric coughs. "Uh, sorry king fella."
<Cody> Rahne...? Where did you go...? Hello? ^^:
<GMStoren> « er lass! »
<Roric> o ...
<Chrys> Fuck. Everyone here's just so fucking self-sacrificing...
<GMStoren> « not ass ^^ »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rachel> Yes...a battle plan...
<Cody> «ooc: Fairy ass ^^ »
* Chrys shakes his head. "Sorry, Kingy. Yeah, the fairy is also likely the cause of all our problems."
<GMStoren> Emerald looks at Rahne a little cross. "I AM on the winning team."
<Rachel> ...
* Rachel glares at Chrys but then breaks the look to gaze at the king.
<Chrys> But she's a smart little pixie, so we'll listen to her plan...She in your head at the moment, Rache?
<Rachel> No.
<Rachel> She's not.
<Cody> Rahhhne?! Where did you go!? Hellooooooo? ^^; 
<Chrys> ...
<Rachel> . o O (Asshole.)
<Chrys> She isn't?
<Rachel> No.
<Chrys> ...Then where the hell...?
<Rahne> Don't do this, Miss Emerald.  And if what's going on in that room is so damned important, then you should probably be there, now shouldn't you?
* Chrys twitches as a realization comes over him. "Fuck. Rahne. I'm going to swat Em when I see her next..."
* Cody continues to call for Rahne. :P
<Rachel> Oh, calm down, Chrys. Let this play out. Can we please get down to business?
* Rahne can be seen further down a hall, looking very sternly at a small glowing green light. *
<Roric> «ooc: *whaps Chrys* »
<Cody> Rahne!
* Cody runs to her, panting a bit.
<Chrys> «ooc: *gets whapped* »
<Chrys> «ooc: What? »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Then what about you? You're pretty darn important yourself...
* Roric sighs and leans against the wall, letting what will be be.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Aye... well now.
* Rachel nods to the King, intent on what he has to say.
<Cody> Rahne...what's wrong?  ....Oh...er...hello Emerald... ^^:
* Rahne turns to him, she doesn't look happy. * What? A meeting so important that you have to run yourself into the ground to attend it, but not so important that you can skip out on it?
* Chrys shakes his head, resting it on the table again. "Can't get down to business without Keylia, unless you already have the plan, 'matey'."
<Cody> I was worried about YOU. Meetings can wait for friends!
<Rahne> Indeed.  And it doesn't work the other way around?  They can't wait for you?
* Rachel grits her teeth.
<GMStoren> The King leans over the map. "The miss Emerald said she knew where those 6 other blokes were... and now that ye have tha Flammie again, you mateys should tries to stop them before they go etaring up more than just me beloved ship."
<Rachel> . o O (...I will not slaughter my teammates, I will not slaughter them...)
<Cody> Rahne...
<Roric> «ooc: Actually, Rahne has a real point for once. »
<Niki> Were going back home first.
<GMStoren> Emerald folds her hands.
<Cody> I...
* Rachel stands from her bench and leans over to gaze at the map as well... "...that sounds fair enough...and yes, I did promise Niki we would go save Flora first..."
<Chrys> ...Yeah. Flora first. Then, we have a big problem back over here...
* Chrys lifts his head, pointing not far from where the fortress would be. "Southtown has a godbeast infestation, it seems."
<Roric> You realize we ain't gonna be able ta save 'er, right?
<Roric> «ooc: QUIET »
<Roric> «ooc: QUIET NOT LOUD »
<Rahne> Cody..  it's well and good you want to be the hero.  But there comes a time when you gotta rest.  Hand over the torch; it'll get handed back later.  All too soon, even.
<Rachel> Hmm. Southtown.
* Rachel glances at Roric, as if noting that that's not the best thing to say with Niki in the room. ^^;
<Cody> I don't want to be a hero...I just...
<Roric> ...I ain't 'elpin' fightin' no more god beasts unless we can't 'elp it. It's just 'elpin' Meira.
<Roric> «ooc: 'elp 'elp 'elp »
<Rachel> We need to deal with Meira, as well, yes.... do we know how yet? She's strong...
<Rahne> It's great that you're feeling better.  No matter what you might think, I don't think anyone is happier to see you get better than myself.  But just because you can walk doesn't mean your ready to bear the weight of the world on your shoulders again.
<Cody> ...
<Roric> And she'll only get stronger the more beasts we kill.
<Cody> You're right. I'm just in the way. I'm sorry, Rahne.
<Chrys> Ror, we can't help it. We either kill the god beasts and try to take on Meira, ignore Meira completely and let the god beasts destroy the world as we know it, or we reach some sort of compromise.
<Rahne> Goddess knows you've already had your fair share, and you're gonna get more wether you like it or not.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] ...what?
* Rahne stares at him flatly. * Don't give me that bull, Cody. :P
<Roric> My compromise is we kill meira first, mate. 
<Roric> I'm sure there's some way ta do it.
<Chrys> And where do we find her?
<Rachel> Ror....if you can find me a way to do it...
* Rhiana just stands back and lets the kids go at it
<Cody> No...until I'm well..I'm just in your way...
<Rachel> I'll help you.
<Roric> ......
* Roric frowns.
<Chrys> We know where the god beasts are. We don't know where she is.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] If that lass can take down a godbeast, then it's not an easy task, matey.
<Rachel> But until we find a way....what else can we do?
* Rachel nods to Leorities.
<Roric> ...all right...assumin' everyone goes off doin' whatever all anyway...what's the next goal?
<Rahne> You can't please everyone all of the time.  But don't tell me I've gone through all this misery and suffering, and when push comes to shove you're just gonna run away?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Look here you two... nobody is in the way. We're all part of this team, and right now that team needs you!
<Cody> «ooc: Wow. THat sounds so selfish even though Rahne is trying to say he is. Tee »
<Rachel> That's what we're trying to decide. What godbeast next? Do we confront Meira first? What town? This would be easier if we'd haul together like a team..
<Rahne> No one said you were in the way.  No one said you were slowing us down.  It's not your damned fault the world is moving so fast.
<Cody> I'm not running away! I don't want to! You keep pushing me away!
<Cody> ...No...I don't mean that...
* Chrys looks at Roric, sighing. "I apologize about team morale, it's largely my fault that it's in the crapper. Aside from that, it looks like we either search for Meira or we try to stop the God Beasts without her knowing. Either one's gonna be bloody hard.
* Rachel rubs her nose a bit, wondering if Emerald knows some way to deal with Meira...
<Niki> We get to go save my sister first.
<Roric> I'm thinkin' th'water chick might be able ta 'elp. I need ta get there some'ow...anyone know if there's any way ta get off this rock?
<Rachel> Flammie. We have Flammie. ^^; 
<Roric> Besides Flammie.
* Rahne 's eyes flick to the fairy. * Go back to the others, Emerald. This conversation is not for you.
<Chrys> Niki, there's no way we can save your sister with Meira around. If we tried, Meira'd just suck up her power, and bwoop, no more Flora.
<Cody> No. Stop it...
<Cody> ...I'll go back to bed. You two go...
<Cody> ...Good day, you two...
<Rahne> No, Cody.  You stop it.  Stop trying to be so damned noble.
* Cody walks down the hall without a word. :/
* Rhiana takes a bite off her chicken leg
<Rachel> ....any ideas, Rhiana? Tori?
<Cody> «ooc: Actually, he's just close to punching your face now. Is not a noblity issue ^^: »
* Rachel looks towards the two silent ones.
* Rahne grabs his arm. * Cody Hasim Hylissa.
* Niki looks down.
* Cody stops for a moment, "What do you WANT Rahne? Do you want me to stay behind or go on?"
* Tori rubs at his eyes again and sighs.
<Rahne> << Rahne'd welcome it.  She's on the verge of whapping Cody good and proper herself. >>
<Tori> I think you're all forgetting the obvious thing: we've already seen that we can't kill the godbeasts completely when we're on our own..Meira's had to come in and seal them away for the finishing blow.
<GMStoren> Emerald hovers, staring at Rahne a minute... then looks at Cody.
* Rhiana looks blinks innocently, "I don't have a dog in this fight."
<Rachel> Hm...
<Roric> If we can kill Meira...we can find a way.
<Niki> «ooc: Rahne sounds like a pissed off mom. Its a rule, saying the full name means she's pissed at you. »
* Chrys looks at Tori, then at Roric.
<Rahne> I want you to listen for once!  To stop being so damned stupid!
<GMStoren> [Emerald] .o( She's right.. maybe they finally will get to the bottom of this thing once and for all. )
<Roric> The Beasts were sealed for a damn long time. If we can do that again...good enough fer me.
<Rahne> You never listen!  You just fold over and do what you -think- people want you to do!
<GMStoren> Emerald slowly receeds to the main room.
* Roric rubs his eyes. "Okay...am I right in assumin' there ain't no cannon travel in this place?"
<Rachel> Cannon travel...hm.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] There be cannon travel..
<Cody> More like I'm PUSHED all the TIME until I bloody CAVE.
<Chrys> Half empty, half full. Either we can kill Meira and find a way to kill the god beasts, or we aren't strong enough to kill the god beasts, and are powerless against Meira. It's a hit or miss, people...
* Rachel blinks as Emerald comes back, raising an eyebrow at her...
<Rahne> Then push back, dammit!
<Cody> I did! Today! With you! But it never satisfies anyone!
<Chrys> «ooc: Push back? »
* Rahne 's tail bristles. *
<Chrys> «ooc: Wooow, Rahne's an extremely large hypocrite. »
<GMStoren> Emerald has a very odd look on her face as she enters, but it doesn't look light and happy, that's for sure.
<Cody> Well, I'm sorry it hurts you! But what do you want me to say? it's the truth!
<Roric> ...good. I need to take a trip back ta th'mainland. Luka oughtta be free now that th'beast's dead...she's th'last elder sage, and I'm bettin' she knows somethin'.
<Rahne> Why do you think you didn't come out ahead though?  Look at yourself!  You're as pale as a sheet!  You lean against things all the time to catch your breath!
<Rachel> Ror....that might be helpful...can you do me a favor?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Okay people. I suggest you don't go out there for awhile...
* Chrys snarls as he sees Emerald, but decides to keep his words back, not wanting to screw up the team any MORE than it already is.
* Chrys mutters something.
<Cody> ...I can't get away from being the Gemma. I WANT to, but I can't. And if I don't know what's going on, I'll die, Rahne.
<Roric> ...aw, fuck. Now what?
<Rachel> Rahne and Cody are probably having it out. It'll be alright. They need this. But anyway... Roric.....subject at hand...if you go....you'll come back before trying to take her on on your own, yes?
<GMStoren> The King regards Emerald, as she slides over onto the map.
* Chrys twitches, snarling as he hears things unfold.
* Roric chuckles at Rachel. "Don't worry, I ain't stupid."
* Rachel tries to retain the slim form of leadership she has and offers a wry smile to Ror. "Thanks. Okay...."
* Chrys stands up, starting to walk to the door.
<Rachel> Chrys.
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys: I just have to go pee! Geez... »
<Rachel> <<snicker.>>
<Rahne> If you keep doing what you think is right, you'll wind up dieing too!  Stop and listen!  Just because you're the Gemma doesn't mean you know best!  You're a herbalist, for Goddess sakes!
<Chrys> Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to them. I've just about had it with them, and I'd rather not listen to them argue with me, too.
<Rachel> Then why not stay here and offer some of your thoughts about this? I mean, some more.
<Roric> Now...if anyone wants ta come with, I got no problem...but it might be best for th'rest o'ya ta keep together while this bloody great shitstorm's goin' down.
<Cody> ...So you're saying I'm stupid now?! That you know everything that's right and good? That I should cave and listen to you?
* Rachel nods a little to Roric..
<Cody> Rahne, you tell me to push back but then you suggest that I don't!
<Cody> What do you WANT?
<Chrys> ...Because none of my conscious thoughts are about the battle strategy, I'm afraid to say. And if I shared 'em, there'd be a whole lot more shit going down then there already is.
<Rachel> ...
* Rachel sighs softly. "Alright, fine...go....we'll figure this out somehow."
<Rahne> Don't mince words.  Who said you were stupid?   You're the first person out of my quiet little temple life that I knew that actually read things..  that knew about ancient history.
<Rachel> <<You said he was stupid, actually.>>
<Chrys> I'm sorry I'm not of more help to you, Rache. I'm also sorry that Rahne and Cody aren't, either. I take responsibility for that, because I know whatever I've done to try to stop it has just made it worse.
<Rahne> << Crap.  I suck. ^^;; >>
<Cody> But compaired to you I'm stupid.
<GMStoren> Emerald looks at Chrys, then shakes her head once. "Whatever you do, don't break them up until they've said what has to be said."
* Rachel shakes her head and rubs her neck.. "....she's right....let them go...just...go and think things over yourself...we'll figure something out..."
* Chrys steps outside the door, holding it open for Roric. "If you need me, I'll be right outside. And Emerald, you should know all too well about the consequences of interfering in business that isn't yours, shouldn't you?"
<Roric> Well...I guess I'll wait a bit before 'eadin' off. Just until, the, uh, weather clears up. *nods toward the closed door*
* Niki looks at Rachel.
<Rahne> Says who?  So what if I know more about one thing than you, you know more about other things than I.  That doesn't mean either of us are stupid.
<Rachel> Please, Roric, stay a bit....I could use your logical insight on some things...and yes, Niki, I realize you want to help Flora... I did promise you..
<Cody> Then why won't you let me make my own desicions, Rahne?
<Roric> Logical insight...heh.
* Chrys closes the door slowly as he realizes Ror isn't coming.
* Rachel turns to face Niki... "And I will stick to my promise....but first we need to figure out a way to help her without killing her, okay?"
<Niki> Can we at least go to the palace to see if we can do anything.  I don't wanna hurt her, and I don't wanna have her 'gobbled up'.  Maybe we can hold her or something, but I wanna see.
<GMStoren> Emerald mumbles to herself.
<Rachel> . o O (10....9....8....7....6..... deep breaths...)
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Ahem. You had something to say, ya little green latern?
<Rahne> Because this time, I'm right, Cody.  Maybe when you dragged me back from the underworld you were right.  You can't win them all, Cody.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Oh right. Sorry.
* Rachel sighs softly.. "Yes, please, say what you will, partner..."
<Cody> ...
<Rhiana> ...alright, I've heard enough...
<GMStoren> Emerald crawls oevr the map, starting to mark several key points in an irredescent glow.
* Rhiana folds her arms
<Niki> «ooc: Emerald peed on the map. She has florscent piss. »
<Rachel> <<They're outside, Rhi...but then, I guess you can hear them yelling by now. ^^>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: Oh rats..poot :P..sorry »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Alright... these are by my best estimates the lcoations of the remaining god beasts.
<Rahne> Don't look at me like that.  Smile, or something.  Let me know you're alive, and not just some machine dedicated to saving the world.
* Roric looks at the map.
* Chrys hears the two squabbling, considering the ramifications of decorating the hallways with both of their innards.
<Roric> «ooc: *megaman one music* »
<Rahne> Be human, Cody.  You are human.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] One is nearby in Vandole, but it's so strong,I doubt we should go after it directly just yet... the Dark one.
<Cody> ...I want to help because I want to help...
* Rachel takes note of Emerald's demeanor, making a note to talk with her later as well...she directs her gaze to the map... "....alright..."
<Rahne> It's okay to be weak.  It's okay to cry.  It's okay to be small...
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne; It';s okay to suck, because you indeed suck! »
<Rahne> Just don't be that way all the time..
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Farther south, near Southtown and Larece, the Moon god Beast is sowing confusion in the rebellion...
<Cody> ...I need to lie down...
<Rachel> Mm..
* Tori watches emerald intently for a moment before looking elsewhere.
<Roric> I suppose sowin' confusion's better than blowin' shit up.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] There is the Light godbeast, somewhere near the Holy City of Wendel. I'm afraid it may be too much for even them...
* Rahne feels tears coming.. * ..You do..
* Niki looks at Emerald. "Dark one? You mean that really dark cloud I saw while looking for people?"
* Cody turns around and quietly walks away.

<GMStoren> [Emerald] That's probably it Niki. You also saw up north, by the Lost Continent? The Plant beast is growing in power, deep within the ruins...
<Roric> «ooc: Whee, Rahne gets to argue with someone as annoying to reason with as herself. »
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Hee. »
<Roric> ...I ain't gonna be much 'elp with that one, but...
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Whatever. It's sad she won't even let him attend a MEETING. »
* Roric sighs.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Back in Pandora, the earth is being split by the angry Earth godbeast...
<Roric> «ooc: You left the meeting, Mr.PKB. :P »
* Rahne composes herself as best she can before entering the strategy room.. *
* Rachel keeps her face unchanging at the mention of Pandora.
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah but she wouldn't let him go baaaaack ;_; »
<Roric> ...damn. That's a bit close fer comfort. Gonna 'ave ta stay away.
* Rachel flicks her eyes to Rahne before back to the map.
* Chrys watches Rahe, unmoving.
<Cody> «ooc: He was worried about her and she guilt tripped him and made him feel small and stupid! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Rahne »
<Rahne> << He never asked. :/ >>
* Roric hears the door open and shut, but doesn't turn.
<Cody> «ooc: He asked if she was okay ^^: »
<Rahne> << He took it all wrong then. :P  Rahne will have to talk with him again. :P >>
<GMStoren> [Emerald] And I can sense the fire beast is terrorizing the great fortress of Tasnica. It's only a matter of time before it could burn to the ground.
<Roric> «ooc: Sure, Cody. It's aaaaal Rahne's fault. ^_~ »
<Cody> «ooc: I didn't say it was ALL her fault ;) Her wording JUST SUCKS ASS »
<Chrys> «ooc: Oh, so they can FINISH fucking each other up, Baha? ;P »
<Roric> .oO( Tasnica... )
<Roric> Hrm.
<Rachel> ...which is the weakest, Em?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] It's hard to say exactly... but we shouldn't rush off to vandole just yet. There's something else afoot there than just the Darkness.
<Rachel> Fair enough..
* Rachel slumps back into a bench, rubbing her forehead as she considers..
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] (m) Wouldn't be able to tell the location of that lazy brother of mine, eh...
<Tori> Would the fact that we've got wind and water taken care of give us any advantage over earth and fire?
<Roric> *frowns* You'll want me for the Moon Beast, I'm betting. If you can't help but kill a Beast while I'm away, you might leave it.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Give the Troubleshooter a cookie, there... that's pretty obvious.
* Rahne clears her throat.. * Forgive the interruption..
* Rachel lands her fiery gaze on Rahne..
<Rachel> <<heheh...now I'm giggleclapping.>>
* Niki looks at Rachel. "But we can go to the plant palace so we can see whats going on right?" :/
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rachel> Hercules! Hercules! ...Wait a minute, I like women. Xena! Xena! :o »
<Roric> I wouldn't, Niki.
<Cody> «ooc: Bleh, I'm depressed now ;) Well, a little. A cross between gigglehappy and depressed which is an oxymoron! HERCULES! »
* Rahne appears unintimidated by the scathing gaze. * You are just plotting dealing with the God Beasts, right? Tactical and wartime issues?
<Rachel> Yes, Rahne.
<Rachel> And that's something to be decided by the whole team, Niki....
<Rahne> I want a recess.  Four hours, so that Cody can attend after he's rested awhile.  I know it might be inconvenient, but I feel it may be for the best overall.
* Niki turns to Roric. "I don't wanna fight it. Just see. I can help us sneak in. Playing warp and seek with sister let me know all the secrets of the place.
<Niki> «ooc: " »
<Rachel> ....
* Rachel narrows her eyes just faintly..
<Roric> It's unwise, kid.
<GMStoren> Emerald sits in the center of the map, gazing at Rahne. "Well, I've pretty much said my part. How you deal with them is up to you guys now."
<Niki> I don't care!
<Rahne> Highness?
* Roric nods. "A recess would be all right with me...we seem to be in a bit of a rut. I'm sure everyone could use time to think."
* Rahne looks to the King.. * Is this acceptable? You saw Cody when he came in before...
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] A recess? If the fairy be done, then it's fine by me.
* Rachel gets closer to Emerald, reaching out to tap the map beside her gently... she leans down, whispering softly. "Can I talk to you in my head in a bit?"
<GMStoren> [Emerald] I thought you'd neeeever ask. I was staring to miss ya. ;)
<GMStoren> Emerald does the disappearing act.
* Chrys listens in on everything going on inside, muttering to himself.
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys: ...Death kill pig »
* Rahne nods, and smiles a weak smile.. * Very well then. Thank you all..
* Rachel shivers and chuckles despite the atmosphere...she straightens. "We're done, I believe, for now."
<Chrys> «ooc: More like "death kill foxgirl", actually. ^^; Maybe "gemma", too. »
<GMStoren> The lcoations retain their glows.. ^^
<Roric> ...I think I'll get a move on...the sooner I can meet with Luka, the sooner I can rejoin the group.
<Rachel> Sounds good, Roric. Be safe.
<GMStoren> Just then the door busts open.
* Niki stands up and opens the door. She walks out and slams it shut while yelling out something. "PROMISE BREAKER!"
<GMStoren> Niki comes face to face with Watts! ^_^
* Roric slings his pack over his shoulder. "You too."
<Chrys> «ooc: The door busts open and I don't see what's busting it? »
<Cody> «ooc: We broke Niki again! COOL! »
<Rahne> You won't disturb him, will you, Miss Rachel?  I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to undermine me later.
* Rachel sweatdrops.
* Roric walks up to the door, has it slammed shut, and opens it again, walking out.
* Chrys looks down at Watts. "Hey, fuckhead. The idea's to open doors using the handle."
<GMStoren> [Watts] If it isn't the little girl with me Axe!
<Rachel> Why don't you be quiet, Rahne, I believe you've done enough of eating your own words for a while.
* Niki looks at Watts, obiviously pissed. "What do you want?"
* Rachel draws herself up higher and gazes away from Rahne to Watts. "Hi. Don't mind us, we're having our little mental breakdowns for the month. Come in." ^^;
<GMStoren> [Watts] Why to see you heroes again! That water beast had my boat spinning in circles for days getting here!
* Chrys sighs, shaking his head, stepping over Watts and Niki, and snarling generally.
*** Mastergeek (hKool_Kitt@PPPa94-ResaleVentura1-5R7054.dialinx.net) has left #pureland
* Chrys mutters to Rahne. "We need to talk later."
<Niki> Well go see them.  I'm leaving.
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] I'll be jibbed, it be Watts, the legendary smith..
* Niki stomps past Watts.
<GMStoren> [Watts] The little tyke alright?
* Rahne looks noneplussed. * Why don't you just go cram it, Miss Rachel. You may be boss most of the time. But you will listen to me now, is that clear?
* Roric waits in the threshold, curious what Watts is doing here.
<Cody> «ooc: Whoa O_O »
<GMStoren> Watts gets the distinct feeling he came at a VERY bad time.
<Roric> «ooc: Battle! »
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne has a spine! HOly! SOMEONE HIT HER! ^^ »
<Rachel> No. It's not, you little hypocritical brat. I don't need to listen to you.
* Chrys looks over his shoulder. "She has some reality to learn to cope with. As do some other people."
<Roric> «ooc: Let's test the new pVp HP totals! »
<GMStoren> « uh oh.. »
<Rachel> But I don't want to fight with you right now, alright? We can hiss at each other later.
<Rachel> Preferrably when we don't have bigger fish to fry.
* Chrys twitches before slamming his fist into the wall, making sure everyone has his attention. "ENOUGH!"
<Cody> «ooc: LIKE YOUR MOM! »
<Rachel> <<See, Rache tries to retain her niceness, but oh no.. ;)>>
<Rahne> We've got four hours of perfectly good time to kill.  If you want to fight, fine.  But I'm not looking for a fight.  I'm looking for compliance.
<Cody> «ooc: She's just a big ball of fire :D We all are! »
<Rachel> You aren't getting it. We called a reccess so back off. He's resting now, just like you begged him to. It's all good.
<Rachel> If I go and see him, that's my own perogative.
* Chrys snarls, knowing he didn't get the attention he wanted, and resists the urge to get violent with the two females of the party.
<Roric> ...try it again, Chrys.
<GMStoren> [Watts] As fiery as ever, you people are. I'll be waiting by the forge when you're ready.
* Chrys looks at Roric, tempted to.
<GMStoren> The King looks on at the altercations with a bit of concern
* Rachel shakes her head to gaze at Chrys apologetically, crossing her arms.
<Rachel> ~ Partner, give me the strength to remain somewhat mature and not shove her tail so far up that high raised nose... ~
<GMStoren> Watts exits, rubbing his skull cap. ^^
<Chrys> Good. It looks like at least one of you two seems to have a halfway level head.
<Rahne> You're not listening.  You're as bad as he is, Miss Rachel.  :P  You won't see him.  You can see him plenty later.
<Chrys> Now. Rahne.
* Roric hangs his chakram to Watts, hanging from a finger. "Can ya do ol' spinny first? I'm in a bit of a rush."
<Rachel> <<O_o Did she just tell me I won't see him? Oh ho ho...>>
<Cody> «ooc: SHe did ^^;; »
* Rachel mumbles. "You won't stop me from seeing him."
* Chrys grabs the foxgirl by the scruff of her shirt. "We need to talk. Are you perfectly clear with that?!"
<Roric> «ooc: The fun thing about Roric talking normally now is that he switches back and forth. »
<Chrys> And Rachel, let the boy rest.
<Rachel> Yes, mom.
* Rahne 's ears fold back. * I will stop you. He needs rest right now. He doesn't need you right now.
<GMStoren> [Watts] Aye, that I can Roric. I'll have her better than ever. Tell the others when they cool off a bit, mm?
<Rachel> Funny, the same could've been said for you about ten minutes ago.
<Cody> «ooc: The fun thing about Rahne is she MEANS well but she says everything int eh WRONG WAY ^^ »
* Chrys glares, noticing even violence doesn't get through to the girl. He then proceeds to drag Rahne, knowing he'll get her attention EVENTUALLY...
<Rahne> << She's upset. ^^;  Her her fuse is all burned up.  No patience.  She wants the well being as soon as possible. ^^;; >>
<Chrys> «ooc: She's not the only one with no patience, hon. »
<Roric> Don't think it'll do any good. It's kinda their way.
<GMStoren> ~You're doing a pretty good job of that Rachel. Remember why she's doing what she's doing.~
* Roric shrugs, shutting the door and striding away.
<Rachel> ~ I know why she's doing it! But to forbid me to see him like that! As if she's some miss high and mighty...and she's got him so fuckin' down now, right after we had him somewhat cheery! ~
*** Scott (bmscott@PPPa25-ResaleMemphis1-1R7319.dialinx.net) has joined #pureland
* Chrys manages to drag the foxgirl out of the room, and continues dragging right on down the hall, trying not to be around anyone else when he makes a bigger scene of things.
<Rachel> ~ He's going to stay behind now because of her! ~
<Roric> «ooc: Four months later, Roric and DNW's character reenter the room. "OK, we killed all the god beasts and Meira. Where'd you say Entropy was again?" »

<GMStoren> « ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Giggleclap ^_^ »
<GMStoren> « north and swing right. can't miss the destroyed purelands. "Thanks!" »
* Rachel rubs her forehead and takes a soft breath to regain her composure...
<Chrys> «ooc: Either Baha's pinging out, he's AFK, or he's about to spout off a line that's OBVIOUSLY going to get cut off. »
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] I suggest ye get some o the cold air outside at this rate.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Rahne wriggles out of Chrys' grasp, sighing and folding her arms. * Alright.. speak your piece..
<Cody> «ooc: Or not? ;) »
<Rachel> Yeah....cold air might do some good....I'm sorry, your Highness, for that...
* Chrys lets Rahne wriggle out, walking on. "No. Follow me. There's going to be yelling, and possibly some violence. I'd rather not have the public see me do that to one of the sages."
<GMStoren> Jeziel mumbles to herself.
<Chrys> «ooc: It's good to see Chrys keeps a level head in his insanity. He's like the exact opposite of Tori. »
<GMStoren> [King Leorities] Hah! I know how it is, keeping your mates in line. Don't break up now.... I hate ta say this, but even the proud del Marr is countin' on you lubbers
<Rachel> I know... I'm sure we'll pull together....we have to..
* Rahne follows alongside him. * Since I'm so far up the creek without a paddle, I don't see why you don't start right now. And in the end, the violence and yelling won't solve anything.
* Rachel bows faintly to the King and heads for the door, wanting to talk to Emerald a bit before seeing Cody...
<Chrys> I want to help you. I admit that. But failing that, Rahne, I'm going to make sure you don't take anyone down with you in your little teen melodrama explosion.
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. That sounds like an after school special! »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Chrys> «ooc: So does Rahne! ;P »
<GMStoren> ~You know, I wanted those two to talk, but I didn't figure Cody would be the one going off to his room to sulk. That Rahne...~
<Cody> «ooc: "Teen Melodrama explosion!" Staring Cody Hylissa as that dashing young Herbalist, and Rahne as the snotty bitch, Rachel as the firey fuse, and Chrys as the ho! »
<GMStoren> « lol ^^ »
<Rachel> ~ She means well, like you said...but....everything she says comes out wrong and it hurts him....we need to pull this team together and it's not working at all... ~
<Chrys> «ooc: DAMMIT! Why do I always have to be the ho?! »
<Rahne> Perhaps it's that, that makes all this difficult.  Yeah, I love him.  But everytime I try to do something, everyone assumes I'm doing it because I'm some selfish impetious child.
<Cody> «ooc: CUZ YOU ARE...er...I mean, you care! ;D »
<Cody> «ooc: JK of course :D »
* Rachel heads for the outside, tilting her head to the sky and letting the wind brush her hair free from the bindings...
<Chrys> ...You both are. I am, too. So is Rachel. She's just a bit older. So she's an immature selfish impetuous child.
<Rachel> <<O_o Uh, hello?>>
<Chrys> That doesn't make any one of us righter than any other one of us.
<Rachel> <<*idly wonders how she's selfish but stamps down on it* ^^;>>
<Cody> «ooc: but it makes me sound a lot more gramatically correct than you, Mister righter! »
* Chrys leads Rahne into a now-empty room, locking the door behind them.
<Chrys> «ooc: LOL. »
<Rahne> You can't tell me I wasn't right.  You saw Cody.  Pale and short of breath.
<Chrys> You were right. But I also heard part of what you two were squabbling about.
<Rahne> He protests when I ask things of him, so then I have to tell him..  and I don't like to tell people things, but it's the only way people listen.  If I don't command, I'm written off.. and in the end, I'm written off anyways.
<Chrys> ...
<Rahne> Would my advice be more valuble were I as venerable as Master Joch?
<GMStoren> ~Well, that's your job, isn't it? Let's see if Cody has the wind left in his sails. We can't do this without him.~
<Chrys> No, your advice would be more valuable if it was correct more often. You notice how people listen to Rhiana now, since she happens to be -right- most of the time?
<Rahne> << Dammit.  Rahne should kill herself and be done with it. :P >>
<Cody> «ooc: Cody indeed has no wind in his sails. Cody, being the resident weepy angst boy, has committed spekku »
<Rachel> ~ Kay, partner. ......how're you holding up? ~
<GMStoren> « that sepukku. ^^ »
* Rachel heads for Cody's room, a hand on the hilt of her sword...
<Roric> «ooc: it'd be cool if Rachel stressed him out and he went into a coma. »
<Rachel> <<gah.>>
<Rahne> I'll bet she's marching over there right now..
<Cody> «ooc: He's actually worse now because he's stressing and sad ^^ But not comaish. »
<Rachel> <<You bet your fuzzy butt she is.>>
<Rahne> ..and things will be just ducky now, because she's going to say all the right things.
<Chrys> I'll bet she is, too. But you know what? She's not going to argue with the poor boy.
<GMStoren> ~Aww, forget about me right now... get this bunch together, because I seem to care so much I screw it up...~
<Rahne> He listens to her.  He doesn't listen to me.
<GMStoren> Emerald voice trails off.
<Chrys> You know why?
<Chrys> Hm, I don't know, could it be because you don't really listen to him?
<Rachel> ~ You don't screw it up, girl....you know this group is fulla hotheaded people who say the wrong things to the wrong people... you got the best intentions... ~
* Rachel stands outside Cody's cabin door, knocking a little...
<Cody> ...Rahne, please not now....
<Rachel> ...it's not Rahne, stud... promise. ^^;
<Cody> ...Come in, Rachel...
* Rachel lets herself in, closing the door and locking it behind her...

<Rachel> <<Sucking the marrow from the chicken leg's bone ^^>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Still eating that chicken leg in the warroom. »
* Cody is lying on the bottom bunk, curled up in some blankets and looking even MORE tired and pale than before. He's also shivering a pinch.
* Rachel softens and heads to Cody's side, kneeling....she reaches out to touch his forehead. "Not feeling so hot, huh?"
<Rahne> I do listen, be he's not truthful with me.  He treats me as if I were some sort of nuisance to keep quelled.
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: OH COME ON. »
<Cody> «ooc: I came int his morning to see if you were OKAY ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Geeezzz ^^ »
<Chrys> You listen. Riiight. You know, I've been thinking about things. Things you've said. Things he's said. Things I've heard you argue about.
<Rachel> <<Shhh, Cody, careful...you might be selfish! ;)>>
<Rahne> << -_- >>
<Cody> «ooc: I am! I admit it. But I'm ever so cute. :D »
* Chrys raises his eyebrow. "He was worried about you, this morning, you know that?"
<Rachel> <<True. ^_->>
<Chrys> It wasn't about the others.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Admiral Ding Ding »
<Cody> «ooc: Hah! »
<Chrys> Someone just mentioned it to him. He was on his way to check up on you.
* Rachel gently brushes Cody's hair from his forehead..
<Chrys> «ooc: Gah! You've got romance in my angst! Get out! Gaaah! ;) »
<Cody> Not really...no...Did your meeting go okay...?
<Rachel> No... I almost punched Rahne right in the eye, Roric has gone to visit Undine, Niki is upset with me, Chrys is off yelling at Rahne... ^^;
<Rahne> I supposed so.. ..when he and you came in..  and I was happy.  But he lied by seeing me, he tried to cover up how tired he really was.
<Chrys> ...To make you feel better.
<Rahne> ..I worry about him too, though..
<Chrys> He lied to me, too, Rahne. Probably lied to Rachel the minute he got out of bead.
<Chrys> «ooc: bed. Gah. »
<Cody> ...Sounds like fun...
<Chrys> I know you do. The problem is he doesn't think he deserves the worry.
* Rachel sighs a bit and gazes intently at Cody.. "Not really. If it means anything, I didn't punch her! And we're between the earth and fire godbeast." ^^;
<Cody> ...Where is the Earth Beast Located? 
<GMStoren> The red haired pirate princess saunters over to Rhiana, her father pouring over the map some more.
* Rachel 's face darkens a little.. "Pandora..."
<Cody> And the Fire one?
<Rachel> Tansica.
<Rachel> <<Spelled right?>>
<Rahne> Well, he needs to stop..  and Rachel drives him, I'm sure..  I know it's good she fires his spirit..  I wish I could.  But he can't keep this pace..  he's still recovering.
<Chrys> «ooc: Tasnica. »
<Rachel> <<Close.>>
<Chrys> ...
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] 'ey, Rhiana? You seem like a cool headed type. Can I ask ya a question there?
<Cody> ...Sometime we're going to have to go to Pandora...but...I can't protect you there...so maybe you should go to Tanisca first...
<Chrys> Rahne, Rahne, Rahne...
<Rachel> Why can't you protect me? You have in the past..
<Cody> ...
<Cody> I'm not coming...
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys: ...Rahne, Rahne, Rahne, Rahne... »
* Chrys shakes his head. "Tell me. Do you ever think about anything other than Rachel, Cody, and yourself?"
* Rhiana nods, "Sometimes I think I'm the only cool headed one in the bunch..most certainly Princess..ask me anything you wish."
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys: Rahne, Rahne, Rahne, Rahne, Rahne, Rahne, Rahne... »
<Roric> «ooc: * Rahne punches Chrys »
<Chrys> «ooc: Shut up ;) »
* Rachel blinks a bit and keeps her expression level. ".....why?"
*** Chriswizard (Chris@ACB5ACF9.ipt.aol.com) has joined #pureland
*** ChanServ sets mode: +v Chriswizard
<Cody> Because I'm sick right now...I can't keep up with you...It's  best if I stay behind...
<Rahne> And he tries so hard to keep up.. and Miss Rachel spurs him on, and looks the other way when he stumbles.  I won't drive him like she does..
<Roric> «ooc: Cody, throw something at Rachel if you can manage. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ... »
* Chrys chuckles. "I thought so."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Is Rahne telling baaaaaad tales? »
<Rachel> <<Why? Why are we throwing stuff at me? O_o>>
<Cody> «ooc: All he has is his pillow ;_; Mm. Pillowww ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Because ROric wantsm e to stay behind ^_^ »
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Ya been hearin the rumors flying about the deck about my missing brother, by any chance?
<Rachel> Cody........do you really feel that way?
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Cody> ...It's not a question of how I feel inside...but...
<Rahne> So I tried to stop it..
<Cody> I can't...I just can't...
<Chrys> You aren't listening to a word I'm saying, are you, Rahne?
* Rhiana looks up in thought for a second, "I don't recall hearing anything about your brother, quite honestly."
* Rachel furrows her brow and gets up beside Cody on the bed, tentively wrapping an arm around his waist.... "...I don't know what she said to you.....but you've gotta know that we need you for this....and you're getting better, slowly but surely...."
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel, he's lying there half dead, and you're asking him why he's not coming along on a perilous journey with no accomidations to battle horrible godlike creatures. »
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Kelesis Damascus, the prince of Pirates. Though ta me, he's more a king of tha bilge bums is what he is.
<Cody> ...Please don't...just...don't...
<Rachel> ....
<Cody> I can't...Rahne is right...I can't...
<Rahne> Well..  I suppose not..  but I worry about him..  I don't think about Rachel much though, except when things like this..  happen.
<Rachel> ~ I don't suppose you have any helpful insight to give me, Em? ~
<Chrys> ...Mmhmm.
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] When I think of him being out there carousing while his mates be dying for del Marr, it makes me wanna right beat his bloody face in
<Chrys> Can I repeat the question I asked you while you were busy rambling, Rahne?
* Rahne 's shoulders slump.. * Of course..
<Chrys> Do you ever think about anything other than Rachel, Cody, and yourself?
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne: Well, sometimes I think about Roric's chest hair and how there's SO MUCH of it. IT's quite a marvel! »
* Rhiana shakes her head slowly, "Well, I know how you feel, but quite honestly, I don't think taking out agressions on your sibbling is the correct method ot handle matters."
* Rachel gently kisses Cody's forehead, murmuring.. "...I won't force you. If you don't feel physically well enough to help us whup these guys, then it's your choice...but we do need your help. We almost got whupped badly last time. Real bad."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Roric's Chest Hair: The 7th marvel of the world :P »
<Cody> I know...but I won't do you any good if I die...
<Rachel> And why are you dying exactly? 
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Ya think it's wrong for me ta feel that way? God forbid what woulda happened if my father had keeled oevr in the battles there. He's the successor.. and what am I? Nothin' apprently...
<Cody> Because I can't fight like this...I want to help...honestly I do...but...
<Rahne> Well..  yeah..  ..about mom, and dad, and how they're doing..  I think about how I wonder what Master Joch would do in these situations..  I think about the end..  I think about lots of things..  but no one sees any of it..
<Rahne> ..no one has to.
<Rhiana> He's still your brother though..and you love him, right?
<Chrys> ...Mmhmm.
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys is the shrink »
<Cody> «ooc: He's CLEO the phone psychic, mon! »
<Niki> «ooc: AGH! »
<Niki> «ooc: DON'T MENTION THAT NAME! »
* Chrys sits on a nearby bed, looking at Rahne amusedly. "So tell me, why the hell do you keep rambling about how you feel about Cody? It's insignificant in the grand scheme of things."
<Rachel> Please don't stay behind just because Rahne made you feel like shit....that's all I'm asking....
<Cody> «ooc: There honestly is a real to life Cleo the carribian phone psychic. »
<Roric> «ooc: Someone needs to remind rachel that just days ago cody died from a horrible supernatural fever and is only alive by a veritable miracle. ^_~ »
<Chrys> «ooc: That IS where her accent comes from! O_o »
<Cody> ...I'm staying behind because it's...
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] Course, I love him. He's me blood... but that's why I want to give him a good thrashing too.
<Cody> It's the best...for everyone...
<Niki> «ooc: AGH! I ASKED YOU NOT TO MENTION THAT NAME! *guts out Cody's spine* »
<Chrys> «ooc: Jam Jam Reggae come from Cleo :O »
<Rachel> <<...SHE KNOWS. BUT HE'S RECOVERING. OKAY?! SDGJdgj>>
<Rachel> <<...jesus christ I need a stress ball.>>
<Roric> «ooc: Get a stress cow. »
<GMStoren> « no kidding ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: They're like stress balls, but shaped like cows. »
<Cody> «ooc: Moo ^^ »
<Rachel> .....
<Rhiana> I do understand.
<Rhiana> But I believe things will work out in the end...I used to feel the same way about my father..
* Cody bites his lip, not saying anything anymore...
<Cody> . o O ( I'm sorry... )
<Rhiana> but now my father is gone..and I cannot take back a lot of the things i said or through about him
<Rahne> I've only admitted my feelings.  There's no sense in denying them, it's as plain as the nose on my face.  But what I'm doing now isn't because of those feelings, it's because the little maniac is running himself into the ground trying to live up to some totally absurd ideals.
<Chrys> ...
<GMStoren> Emerald pipes up...
<Rahne> He's so much like me..  ..and I don't want him to be like me..
<Chrys> ...
<Niki> «ooc: <Chrys> But you don't have a nose... ^^; <Rahne> Wha? *looks in a mirror* O_o No nose! No wonder! I belong in FFT! »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Cody...
<Cody> Yes, Emerald...?
* Rachel exhales at Emerald's voice..
<GMStoren> [Emerald] How is you staying behind the best for everyone?
<Roric> «ooc: I think it'd be so hilarious if we dragged half-dead cody along and he DIED FOREVER »
<Chrys> You're stubborn, you know that, Rahne?
<Chrys> Just as stubborn as he is.
<Cody> How isn't it? I'm sick...When you need me most...I'll probably be in the way and let you down. If I die...that's it...no world...
<Cody> I want you all to live...so...
<Rahne> Of course..  that's another thing I'll readily admit.  More stubborn.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] You do realize who you are, and what we are up against right? Don't you think for just a second that staying here is condemning us to fighting for nothing?
* Cody growls a bit, more in general than anything else, "What do you people WANT."
<Rhiana> «ooc: Our group needs a leader, bad :P »
<Chrys> And you REALIZE, by being stubborn, you've more than likely ruined any chances you had of ever being with him like you want to be, because you keep pushing him away. Rachel or no Rachel.
<Rachel> <<... :p>>
<Rahne> << Rahne asserted herself! ^_^ >>
<Rachel> <<I try. I try so bad. ;_;>>
<Roric> «ooc: Most of the people are too snarky to be the leader though. »
*** Scott (bmscott@PPPa25-ResaleMemphis1-1R7319.dialinx.net) has left #pureland
<Roric> «ooc: ..if not all. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I'm not snarky :P »
<Cody> I...I don't know...
* Rachel flinches just faintly....
<GMStoren> [Emerald] We came this far to get you back with us for that reason! This isn't a team without you.... we darn near lost it to the Wind beast... but look whos aved our skins!
<Rahne> << Roric should lead.  <Roric> Rahne!  Get your bitch ass into the kitchen and make me some pie! >>
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o LOL. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: THta'd be cute. Lead, Roric! Lead! »
<Cody> ...And you almost died in the stream because I screwed up in the purelands to begin with...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Cody, you never screwed up. You've given more selflessly of yourself than anybody here.
* Rachel mumbles... "She's right..."
<Rhiana> «ooc: I think I need to give the group a pep talk next session :P »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Coach Rhiana »
<Cody> «ooc: Rhiana: Please :D »
<Roric> «ooc: Good luck. »
<Cody> ...So what should I do, then? Go and possibly die along the way? Or stay and be safe...
<Chrys> «ooc: *taps his foot* »
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] You too, eh? I love me pop... and that's why I can't stand to see what Kel's doin'.
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] If you get a chance, you point that dragon of yours to the archipelago, and look for a tower on an island. If Kelesis is still breathin, you tell him big sis is lookin' for his scurvy rear end, ey?
<Rachel> I do believe that's what I'm here for...to stop you from dying along the way....
<Rahne> It doesn't matter, Chrys; my feelings don't matter.  I'm worried now because he's my friend.  If I've ruined it, that's fine.  As long as he's okay..  as long as he's happy..
<Chrys> ...
<Rahne> At least I could be a little happy knowing he's okay..
<Cody> «ooc: Ah but he's NOT :D »
<Rahne> << Not right now, no.  Rahne never gets to finish what she starts. ^^;; >>
<Cody> ...I'm just not sure...I just don't know...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] You're not going to die, Cody... I'm here to make sure things are put right.
* Rhiana nods, "Absolutely. I'll be sure to do it, if I can get our group of Day Time Talk Show Rejects to go along with it..."
* Chrys chuckles. "Then why'd you yell at him? You totally fucked him over by doing that, you realize. He's likely anything but happy."
* Rachel gently loosens her hold on Cody...
<Cody> Rachel...
<Rahne> I planned on talking to him later..  but no doubt Rachel's gotten it into her skull that she knows best, and will go about correcting everything.  We all know she holds a degree in psychology. :P
<Chrys> ...Just like you do, huh?
<Cody> I think...I think I'm so far behind now...that I can't keep up anymore. Maybe that's it...I don't feel like I belong here anymore. 
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] You do look to be having troubles. Hope ya don't have to go beatin' heads in to make them shutup. *Flexes an arm* That always works on me mates.
<Rahne> I'm a Sage, Chrys..  and even though I'm still trying to understand what that all entails, Master Joch was confident enough in me to grant his blessings to me as his ascendant..
<Cody> «ooc: This is all a fight about class issues! :D »
<Rachel> But you do...you do belong here....we've come so far....all of us...
<Cody> ...
<Chrys> Master Joch didn't realize, likely, how violently obsessive and singleminded you could become when you actually dealt with people you didn't know.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Cody, if you didn't belong here, then I sure as heck don't either. But here we both are, still kicking...
<Rhiana> I don't plan on beating anyone's head in...but they do need a stern verbal lashing.
<Cody> I want to keep going. I don't care. I don't mind the pain...I just want to keep going. To help you...because I want to.
<Chrys> And by the time he did, he had no choice but to hand down the title to you. He knows you're going to grow into it eventually. Why not start now?
<Rahne> This is Master Joch..  he probably knew..  I wasn't exactly timid as a little girl, Chrys..
* Rhiana folds her arms, "I can't believe they would all be so selfish to only thing of themselves when the lives of everyone in the world depend on us."
<Rhiana> «ooc: think »
<Chrys> Oh, you weren't..
<GMStoren> [Jeziel] *laughs* Maybe you oughtta straighten them out, one way or tha other.
* Chrys raises his eyebrow. "Then why were you timid when you first met us?"
<Rachel> Then do it.....help us, Cody....we do need you....we need your help now more than ever....this group is falling apart, not because of one issue, or one person, but because everything is just building up.....and at the time when we need everyone to be a team...
* Rhiana sighs, "I'm afraid I'll have to, unfortunately.."
* Cody nods, "Okay then..."
<Cody> Where do you want to head next? Tanisca or Pandora? I'll protect you if we go to Pandora. You know that...
<Chrys> «ooc: Tasnica »
<Cody> «ooc: *cry* »
<Chrys> «ooc: *unf* »
<Cody> «ooc: *wee* »
* Rachel offers a faint weary smile. "I know. I think I might have to protect you from Rahne, moreso. But I can't decide where to go next without the whole group, which is the problem."
<Rachel> ~ Thank you, partner.... I owe you one. ~ 
<GMStoren> Emerald nods once. "Like pulling teeth... but you have to decide soon."
<Cody> We're going to have the meeting again, aren't we?
<Rahne> Because things were less important then..  and you were very much still strangers, I was being polite.  But now, things are very important, and there's less room for all this foolishness.
* Rachel sighs wistfully and nuzzles Cody's chest, mumbling against it muffledly. "....if only it were just pulling teeth!"
* Rachel nods a bit against the chest. ^^;
* Cody blinks down at the woman in his chest, "Er.. ^^;"
* Chrys sighs.
<Chrys> Rahne... You realize that you seriously screwed us up as a team because of your...rather spontaneous assertiveness, right?
<Chrys> It's not all your fault, no...
<Chrys> It's also partially Cody's for not listening to you.
* Rachel draws back. "Sorry. I'm worn out as well. I think we all need a group hug...but we'd probably all murder each other. But yes, we're resuming in four hours..."
<Chrys> But you were part of it. A large part.
<Cody> I'll take a nap then...and I'd like to join you, if I can...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well, still got a few hours yet if you want to.....*blinks* well you obviously don't need ME giving you any ideas here. Maybe I'll rest a little more until then.
<Chrys> «ooc: Join you in napping? ;) »
<Rahne> It would help if people would take what I say at face value.  Not assume I'm doing something to some selfish end.
<Cody> «ooc: NOoo The meeting ^^ »
<Chrys> ...
<Rachel> Go ahead, rest, Em...the resuming meeting should be a laugh and a half. ^^;
<GMStoren> Emerald fades back into Rachel's head. ^^
<Chrys> Rahne, people begin to assume once something happens enough times. Ever hear the story about the boy who cried wolf?
* Rachel leans down to kiss Cody softly. "Are you okay?"
<Cody> ...I feel a little better now. Thanks. :)
<GMStoren> « considering the way this went... »
<GMStoren> « guess I'll fast forward when we next session. ^^ »
<Rachel> Alright then, handsome, get some rest... and I'll wake you up for the resuming meeting, okay? 
<Cody> «ooc: Can't we just fast forward to the meeting now? ^_- »
<Rahne> << And now that he feels better, Rahne can only make him feel worse!  Yay! >>
<Rachel> <<Uh...it's 3 am ;)>>
<GMStoren> « want to? »
<Rachel> <<Work tomorrow? Hello? ;)>>
<GMStoren> « but I'm out of time »
<Chrys> «ooc: You might want to finish it, and let Rahne and Chrys discuss things. ^^;;; »
<Rahne> Yes, I know the tale, Chrys..
<Cody> «ooc: ^^; »
<Cody> «ooc: Well, I have work too! I gotta go in an hour :p »
<Niki> «ooc: YAY, I don't have work for once! »
<Rachel> <<The fight would last longer than that. ;)>>
<Chrys> Well, it's similar to your problem, Rahne. You kept acting selfish, trying to impress Cody, trying to show your feelings towards Cody...after time, all of us got kind of sick of it.
* Chrys mumbles. "And you know, that's when Rachel started visibly pushing you out of the way..."
* Cody closes his eyes, beginning to slip back into sleep.
<Rahne> Perhaps I should entertain remaining behind then, if that's all I'm seen as.
<Chrys> ...No.
<Chrys> That's also the wrong way to think.
<Chrys> Rahne, are you part of this team, or did you just decide to help us on the passing fancy that we might come in handy?
<Chrys> If you're part of this team, you'll stay part of this team.
<Rahne> Tell that to Cody.  He basically wants to do the same thing, at least when I last talked to him.  Maybe he'll listen to you. :P
* Rachel gazes at Cody warmly and leans down again to kiss his forehead, standing and heading for a chair after...she slouches in it, linking her hands on her stomach and gazes at the door intently, as if willing Rahne to come and try to start a fight....her voice is soft.. "I love you, Etienne..."
<Rachel> <<I'm done. ^^>>
<Chrys> ...Mmhmm. He has a reason, though. He's -sick-. You, on the other hand, are quite healthy, physically, and don't have that excuse.
<GMStoren> « ooh o_o »
<Rahne> I am part of this team because Miss Luka asked it of me.  Frankly, I've nothing to stay for if all I ever cause is hurt, mistrust, and cause some huge rift.
<Chrys> ...
* Chrys sighs.
<Chrys> This is going to be an extremely long four hours, you know that, Rahne?
<Roric> «ooc: END THERE »
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Rhiana> ...guess I'll have to whip those kids into shape..*sigh*...I so cannot do this.
<Roric> «ooc: Dammit. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Transpose my line and end it! ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Aww! Tori! We need you, spanky! »
<GMStoren> « whoops ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: I still need to talk with Rahne ASAP though. »
<Niki> «ooc: *ponders swimming to the Grand Palace* »
<GMStoren> « end then? or you wanna dd something? :P »
<Rahne> << I've nothing to add, if you wish to end it. >>
<Cody> «ooc: I add that Cody should be kicked off the island! »
<Chrys> «ooc: I wanna do something, but the session itself's gone on long enough. ^^;;;;;; »
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION END ~~
<Cody> That was so fucked up O_o
