Session Start: Tue Jul 17 00:11:32 2001 * Logging #Pureland to 'logs\#pureland1.log' ~~ INTERLUDE START ~~ « roger :) » Some time has passed since Cody was served a nice home cooked meal by his mother... in fact enough for several home cooked meals. x_X After the great feast, he's went outside to take a little walk in the crisp night air, still bothered by something... «ooc: Indigestion is what he's bothered with ^^ » * Cody strolls along quietly, his boots softly crunching on the snow, and burrows his hands into his overcoat. *** AshGrandia (flare_star@lsanca1-ar7-218-198.lsanca1.dsl.gtei.net) has joined #pureland « you're free to do as you pelase now I suppose. :) » << Cody: BRRRRRAAAAAAAPPP!!! Voice: Gah! Excuse you! Cody: Rahne? Voice: Yeah... pig.. -_-; >> «ooc: O_o » << Hiyas, Ash. ^^ >> «ooc: Rahne has to show ;_; Show, Rahne. Show. ;_; » << Working on it. :) >> «ooc: I miss lude! Must stay here to see lude when I come back for longer time after Grandia! :o » * Rahne leans forward against the top of the fortress wall, her eyes turned up to the silvery disc of the rising moon.. * * Cody looks over in Rahne's direction, and blinks, "Rahne..." * Rahne 's ears snap up to sudden alertness, and she spins around, sucking on a sharp breath. * Oh.. Cody.. ! << sucking in, rather. Bleh. :P >> Rahne...wait, don't run! * Rahne 's eyes look like she wants to bolt, very much so, but her feet remain rooted.. unresponsive.. * ... Please...can I talk to you? ..I.. *** Retrieving #Pureland info... Rahne...please? * Rahne 's shoulders slump, and she looks down.. * ..yes.. ..of course. Here...c'mon...why don't we sit on that bench over there, and talk? ^^; * Cody points to a nearby bench. * Rahne complies, though a bit hesitant.. afraid.. * It's a roughly hewn wood bench, much like the ones within the meeting hall. It has a nice view of the moon as it rises past a few clouds that reflect the remaining light. * Cody sits down, placing his hands on his lap, "Rahne...why have you been hiding from us today? Is it because of Rachel again? :/" * Rahne sits down, curling her tail about her as best she can, her eyes still downcast. * No.. ..not her alone, at least.. ...Are you afraid of...me? «ooc: :o » «ooc: Anyway. brb. » ..a bit.. ..you haven't exactly been happy with me.. *** Chriswizard (Cwizard59@ACB5AC2D.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Quit: Random Stuff #6 Lah ^^ It's funny, because Cody knows he's fucking himself up a tree in order not have the world be fucked more than it's gonna be ^^ Fucking himself up a tree...? LOL. ;) Bad choice of words. Uhnn! Yeah! Wow, if the maple trees are this g) * Cody sighs, staring at his mittened hands, "I...I just don't know what you want me to do...I...I've sort of been afraid of you lately...What you'd think...what you'd do..." *** Blaze (capote824@12.126.154.78) has joined #pureland *** Katt (richy@a24b94n73client244.hawaii.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout) * Rahne 's eyes flick up to the moon, and she reaches up to wipe away a tear.. * ..I.. ..I just wanted you to take a nap.. for the world to leave you alone for a bit so you could rest for a while.. ..you needed to then. But you wouldn't have it.. ..and neither would anyone else.. ...I didn't want to come because I was the Gemma. I didn't want to protect you all because I'm the gemma... I wanted to come because -I- wanted to protect you. Me. Cody... ..and I want to look after you, too.. not because you're the Gemma.. but because you're Cody.. ..my friend.. ..I care about you.. lots.. I care about you too, Rahne. I care about everyone... ..but everyone kept fighting with me, and fighting and fighting.. and I'd had enough.. ..I wasn't wrong.. ..I wasn't being selfish.. ..I'd had enough. But as it turns out, that I'd had enough didn't mean much.. You mean well, Rahne...you really do...your heart was in the right place...but this is something I have to do...I know the risks...I know you just want to protect me...but I want to help too... *** Chriswizard (Chris@ACB72CAF.ipt.aol.com) has joined #pureland *** ChanServ sets mode: +v Chriswizard «ooc: Done? ^^;? » ..I didn't want to leave you behind.. ..I just wanted you to rest more, you were in need of it.. you knew you were.. ..but you keep trying to be so brave.. * Cody frowns, kicking up a chunk of snow. No I'm not. I'm a coward... No.. no.. you are so brave, Cody.. you keep trying to tackle all this stuff that comes your way. You try and hide the toll this is all taking on you. You try so hard to be strong, and that's being brave.. ...No...No...I'm really not... ...I... * Rahne turns to look at him, the blue in her eyes accented by the moonlight.. * You.. how are you not..? ...A part of me...remembered what Khryos told me...That'd the fate of being a Gemma was to be alone.. I didn't want it to be true... I thought you wanted to go on without me...that I was a burden...too out of the loop to be useful...to be a good friend... ..Khyros wasn't telling the truth.. his goal wasn't to be honest, it was to demoralize you.. to make you feel despair.. You're not alone.. I don't want you to be alone.. Rahne... I wouldn't want to go on without you, because you are such a great friend.. * Cody smiles a bit, "Thank you..." * Rahne fumbles a bit of a sheepish smile.. * Look at me.. I'm so bad, Miss Rachel has to chase me away.. and Miss Rachel is always with you.. I.. I'm not sure you could be alone if you tried.. * Rahne looks back up to the moon again, chasing away more tears.. * I'm really sorry you and Rachel don't get along...I don't know what to do to make it any better... I don't know either.. ..I'm not trying to get on her bad side.. I don't think she's trying to get on mine.. ..but she just does as she pleases in this cavalier way.. and I'm worried someone might get hurt.. She means well...she really does... But you have to realize...she's got the whole world on her shoulders too.. ..I think she's good for you.. better than me.. ..she can make you smile and stuff that I know I can't.. But sometimes I thing she eggs you on just a little too hard, and when I try to intervene, she doesn't like it very much.. << think, rather. ^^;; >> No...I think I would have wanted to come no matter what... It's not her...it's not you. It's entirely me... *** Katt (richy@a24b94n79client227.hawaii.rr.com) has joined #pureland * Cody sighs, looking down at the snow, "I think she's...she's insecure about you...because she doesn't see herself in a very good light because of what Kurik has done..." She needs to listen too.. she means well, just like you do.. but she fights tooth and nail.. I'm not out to hurt her, or to hurt you, or to drive you both apart.. That Kurik.. ..I can't imagine what she must have gone through.. ..I don't know how to even begin dealing with that.. * Cody turns to Rahne, "She's not out to hurt you, either. She was afraid you'd be angry at her..." ..well, at times, I have been.. The way she does things.. they might be daring and dashing in your eyes, I don't know.. ..but she's so defiant.. she doesn't believe that I'm doing what I do for the greater good.. she believes that I'm some mooney-eyes schoolgirl.. That upsets me.. things would be so much easier if she weren't.. weren't.. so adversarial.. ...She thinks that you think she's a slut... << eyed. >> I think there's some major miscommunication going on...-_-; * Rahne sighs.. * I'd once told her that she needed to stop having eyes for everyone else, if she was determined to be in a relationship with you.. ..the way she looked at other people.. the things she said to them.. I didn't want you two getting involved if she was going to throw it all away in a moment of foolishness.. I don't think she'll throw it away... « Keylia: *temp temp with hot tub* ^_^ » I told her from the beginning...that being with me is going to bring her heartache...because I won't be here forever...she told me that it didn't matter...she cared about me anyway... * Cody sighs, shaking his head, "I shouldn't be talking about this. It'll make you sad..." «ooc: Ooooooh :D Storen is a Manouga! :D » *** Blaze (capote824@12.126.154.78) Quit (Quit: Leaving) « heh. ^^; » You haven't been trying to look out for you the way I have... You're one of my few friends, and I don't want to see you hurt.. I wasn't trying to chase her away, or make her feel bad.. ..I wanted to make sure that you weren't gonna get hurt.. Thank you, Rahne... I'm just afraid all of this bickering will tear us all apart, you know? I'm already a bit sad, Cody.. I don't know how to make it better, but I guess I've accepted it; so you probably can't make me anymore sad.. I know.. I wanted to put a stop to the fighting.. I wanted to draw the line.. to end it.. but, it didn't work like I'd hoped.. * Cody looks up at the sky, "You won't be sad forever...please trust me on this..." Just give it time... ..I dunno.. ..but it's not important right now.. I just...want to make sure that when I become the Tree...that everyone will be okay...I'm so scared about that...if everyone will be okay... ..when that happens, maybe I'll become a recluse like Master Joch, and set up shop somewhere nearby.. ..then I could visit every day.. ...^^; I'm not worth visiting every day. I probably couldn't talk back...and besides...you'll have the opprotunity to see the whole world. I think you'd be worth it.. and from what I've seen of the world outside of my own little corner.. I'm not sure I'm missing all that much. ^^; But right now though.. how are you feeling..? A little tired...But better than I was earlier... Hopefully things will be much better after all this God Beast business.. I hope so...but then we'll have to go the Purelands before something else happens... We'll just need to make the most of things until then, then.. I suppose so...I don't have a lot of time left...I want to see everything before...You know... * Cody looks down at the ground. « :( » «ooc: ^^; » «ooc: ;_; » «ooc: All Party Members are Defeated..No more happy CAR ;_; » * Rahne takes up one of Cody's mittened hands in her own.. * There's more time than you think.. and friends to share it with.. ..so many more happy times to come, I'm certain.. ..that event is just a distant future right now.. and you won't ever have to be alone.. we're all here right alongside you.. * Cody looks at Rahne, trying to quell his fears, "I...I suppose you're right..." *** Enygma (enygma@chi1-port65.ntso.com) Quit (Quit: ) I dunno.. everyone seems to argue with me when it comes to how right I am.. ..but I think on these points I would fight more ferociously to prove them than for any other.. ..I worry about you so much, it's important that you're happy.. * Rahne looks away again.. * I'm so sorry, Cody.. ..I'm so sorry for all of this trouble... It's okay, Rahne. Really, it's okay... * Cody reaches over and gently hugs her. * Rahne fights against her tears.. * I don't know.. I don't know.. it seems I've been the source of more trouble than I've solved.. ..I'm half terrified of just thinking of doing anything anymore.. It's okay...just remember the others want to help too. If we all work together... We can do anything. Corny as it sounds, it's true, you know... « *cue fanfare* ^^ » «ooc: Imperial March O_o » * Rahne hugs back.. * I wish.. This is all just so hard.. and I know that in the grand scheme, I guess it hasn't been that hard for me.. ..and I'm not taking it very well.. Just know that I'll always support you. ^^; Even if we don't always agree, I support YOU and what YOU want to do. * Rahne manages another foolish smile. * Right now.. I just want to make sure you're well rested.. ^^; ^^; Done deal. I still need to go tomorrow, but I'll make sure to get plenty of rest tonight. You're coming too, right? ^_^ «ooc: AGH> » «ooc: Dangit, thought it was done >_< » «ooc: ^_^ *gives Chris a cookie* » * Rahne looks hesitant again.. * I.. ..I'm not sure.. after.. well.. when I saw everyone last, I'm not so sure how agreeable our terms were when I left.. Don't worry...They'll understand. Please.. And if they don't...I'll make them understand. Nicely. ^^: ..I'm sure they think I'm just some sort of love starved twit.. that that's why they think I did what I did, when it wasn't.. They can think what they want. The point is that's not what you're doing it for...You're doing it to help us. Help the world too. ^^ Eventually, they'll see that. * Rahne scratches her tail.. * ..I hope so.. * Cody smiles, and nods his head assertively, "I know so. ^^" * Rahne can't help but smile at the familiar phrase, her tail wagging a bit. * * Cody smiles back, noticing the wagging tail, "Hey, that's more like it... ^_^" * Rahne sweatdrops. * I can't help that, you know. ^^; No...It's good! You told me it helps show your feelings, right? And you're happier now... ^^ See, toldya you won't always be sad. We'll see if I'm still wagging come tomorrow when we leave.. ^^; ^^; Let's hope, huh? «ooc: ^^ Need to wrap it up... » << I know. ^^;; I needed to wrap it up an hour ago. :) >> «ooc: LOL. ^^; » « heh :) » Anyway...I really hate to stop our talk...but you told me to rest...and I'm feeling pretty drained. ^^; * Rahne nods.. * You gonna be okay, though? :) That's good then, I think. Hopefully it'll be this easy to convince you to nap in the future. ^^; I'll make due.. I still feel kinda bad. But I feel a bit better knowing that you don't seem quite as upset with me as I'd thought.. It's okay...I know your heart was in the right place. Plus, we're friends. ^^ * Rahne smiles.. * * Cody hugs her one final time, "Good night Rahne. Sweet dreams..." * Cody stands up, and gives her one final smile, and look, before heading inside, "I'll see you tomorrow!" ^^ * Rahne hugs back, curling her tail up to tickle Cody's mitten-clad hands.. * Good night, Cody.. Sleep well, I guess I'll see you in the morning. «ooc: Er, transpose that :) » * Rahne smiles back, wagging. * ^^ << Yes. ^^ >> «ooc: I'm done. You? ^^ » << I believe I'm good, yep. :) >> « Huzzah :) » «ooc: Ending line? :O » With that, Rahne soon stands once more alone in the snowy environs, the moon continuing it's upward rising... perhaps her plan was more successful than she thought. :) ~~ INTERLUDE END ~~ Perhaps. :) *** Rahne is now known as Bahamut ^_^ Session Close: Tue Jul 17 02:02:27 2001
