* Logging #Pureland to 'logs\#pureland.log'
<Cody> ^^ Becuase I inhale food
<Chriswizard> Who's logging? ^^;
<GMStoren> me naturally. :)
<Niki> You are. :P
*** Enygma is now known as Rhiana
<Cody> «ooc: me ^^ »
<Niki> Actually.
<Niki> Prolly all of us.
<Rachel> me!...wait, no I'm not.
<Chriswizard> ^_^
<Roric> Me, for some reason.
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
<Roric> «ooc: brb »
<GMStoren> Taking refuge in Kippo in an attempt to avoid Pandora, the group recovers from their harrowing experiences in Cody's rustic Inn/general store, which is more than accomidating. However, as the sun peeks up from the horizon, there is defintiely someone in this household not looking forward to today...
<GMStoren> « care to pose some wakeups? don't be forever... ^^ »
<Rachel> <<We slept? ^^>>
<Cody> «ooc: Indeed! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: :o »
<GMStoren> « all the rooms are on 2nd floor btw. yes, you slept i'd think.. ^^ »
* Niki is sitting at a table downstairs, lightly pounding the end of her fork and knife on the table. "I want food. I want food."
<Chrys> «ooc: Rache and Cody might not have. ^_- »
<Rachel> <<*thwaps Chrys*>>
<Cody> «ooc: ...Sob :o »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: >_< *whaps Chrys* ^^; »
* Roric is quiet.
<Niki> «ooc: So much for Chris saying he'll be quiet now. ;) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^^; I will! But I'm a CAR Fanboy too! :o »
<Chrys> «ooc: And I'm a BUS Fanboy. Your point? »
<Niki> «ooc: Cuz you suck. Quit dreaming about uNFing mufflers. »
* Rachel slowly wakes up, wincing, and clambers out of her bed, straightening up briefly before heading downstairs, her pack and sword still with Cody...
<GMStoren> There's a noise from downstairs (besides Niki's cries of FOOD!) that wakes up anyone who's sleeping lightly, namely Chrys coming in from somewhere.
* Roric looks up.
* Chrys sighs and not-lightly slams the door behind himself.
* Cody is asleep in one of the side rooms.
<Niki> «ooc: WHAT...Cody defies the word of the GM!!! :O »
<Cody> «ooc: ...I'm downstairs? ^^ »
<GMStoren> « heh. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: ...? »
* Rachel jumps a bit as she comes down the stairs, the slam jarring her...she shakes her head and slouches into a chair quietly.
<Niki> «ooc: He said 'anyone' ;) »
<GMStoren> « Cody's sleeping heavily! ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Unless of course your in a coma. »
* Roric glances sidelong at Rachel, then back at Chrys.
<Cody> «ooc: ...Ah. Well, yes, I am! ^^ But no coma. More like dinner will be ready soon. »
* Chrys looks at Rachel, mumbling. "You know if Cody told his folks we were coming this way? And perhaps told them to pay a visit?"
<Roric> «ooc: *strips Cody and draws on him while he's sound asleep* »
<Rachel> No. Sorry.
<Cody> «ooc: That's already been DONE, Roric ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: It has? Cool. »
<Niki> I want food...I'm hungry!
<Cody> «ooc: Yep! The whole ritual had evil runes drawn all over his naked body ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Well, I'll dip his hand in a jar of warm water then. »
<Chrys> ....
<GMStoren> Rachel's hair glows green as Emerald lounges on top of it. "What do you mean Chrys?"
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh, I have 20 minutes »
* Rachel glances upwards, catching the faint green glow, and then lowers her gaze to her hands on the table.
* Chrys shakes his head, looking up at Emerald. "There's a carriage on it's way to town. I saw it from one of the higher points of the ruins outside of town."
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Gee, they're here earleir than I thought...
<Cody> «ooc: NO SLEEP MAKES US GO...Something something....yes! go crazy! Don't mind if I do! »
<Chrys> "They"? You know something you ain't telling us -as usual-, Em?
* Rachel narrows her eyes slightly.
<Niki> Who cares...wheres breakfast? :D
* Cody clambers downstairs slowly, looking grim, "...Morning..."
<GMStoren> [Emerald] You weren't here last night, but some ministers payed us a little visit... it seems like the castle in Pandora was shook up and Elman was crushed to death...
* Roric listlessly raises a hand to greet Cody.
* Roric blinks. "'E's dead?"
* Rachel nods a little and offers Cody a seat.
* Cody nods a bit and sits down next to Rachel.
<Niki> Man...
<Roric> ...huh.
* Niki gets up and starts looking for the kitchen.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] That's the word, Roric. And they aren't going to take no for an answer this time... Cody's got shoes to fill now.
* Roric shakes his head and resumes his silence.
<Cody> «ooc: Niki: fuck the king! My breakfast!!! »
<Niki> «ooc: DAMN RIGHT! »
<Chrys> ...
<Rachel> ...so we're heading back to Pandora.
* Cody looks down at his hands.
<Chrys> ...So he's...the king now.
<GMStoren> Niki notices she's IN the ktichen. the cupboards are a bit dishelved but quite well stocked yet.
<Chrys> .oO(Wonderful. Fucking wonderful. It figures as much.)
<GMStoren> [Emerald] *sighs* We can't let them keep us here though... there's still Godbeasts left..
* Niki slightly baps herself, then starts raiding the kitchen. :D
<Cody> ...
<Roric> Nngh.
<Roric> Reminds me.
* Chrys looks at Emerald. "One way or another, things will work out. They always DO.
<Chrys> "
<Roric> I gots some stuff ta go over with ya.
<Roric> But...not just yet.
* Roric winces softly.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] We'll figure out something... they're just worried over who's going to be his successor.
* Rachel keeps her expression controlled. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Trees and thrones don't mix, you know? ^^
<Cody> ..Guess not.
* Roric swipes a hand loosely in Emerald's general direction.
<Rachel> It'll work out. The most we can do now is just move on this.
<GMStoren> Emerald fixates her look at the hand as it swipes near.
* Rachel rubs the scars on her neck, closing her eyes a little and wishing the group would begin to move..
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh. Half hour till dinner ^^ »
<GMStoren> « one sec.. »
* Cody stands up and walks out to one of the windows, looking outside. He's unusually quiet.
<Niki> «ooc: --SESSION END!-- <Cody> Dinner time! :D »
<Cody> «ooc: :D »
* Chrys grabs a roll from the kitchen and walks back out, not wanting this conversation. "The carriage should be here within the half hour, I'd guess. Better get ready."
<Cody> ...So they're coming already...
* Rachel levels her gaze on Chrys' retreating back..
* Chrys doesn't seem to notice.
* Cody closes his eyes and leans his forehead on one of the cool glass panes of the window.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Roric, what do you have to say? ^^
<Roric> Need ever'one. Not important 'til we start movin'.
* Niki has well...a bit of everything on her little table, scarfing away.
* Rachel moves her gaze to Cody and stands, heading to his side and letting her knuckles lightly brush his as she gazes at Roric and Emerald...
<Rachel> <<Actually, Emerald is on my head. That'd be hard to do. Hm.>>
* Cody looks to Rachel and smiles softly.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Come on Cody... you're not being sentenced to anything just yet. We'll get you out of this...
<Cody> I...I know.
* Rachel nods slightly.
<GMStoren> Cody sees the carriage pulling up through the town square. the prime Minister steps out, helped by 3 guards.
<Cody> ...They're here.
* Rachel turns to gaze out the window as well.. "....do you have my pack?"
<Roric> «ooc: That was half an hour? O_o »
<GMStoren> « lol, Chrys is bad at time! ;) »
<Rachel> <<We all talk reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally slowly. ^^>>
<Cody> ...Yeah, I do. Upstairs in my room. Want me to get it for you?
* Chrys looks up at the Prime Minister, chewing on his roll still. "Y'know, y're probably gonna regret doing this. I dunno how, but Cody's got more friends than you probably do....sir."
<Rachel> No...it's okay, I'll get it....
* Chrys shakes his head. "Anyways, I assume you're here to abduct him, as par the course?"
<GMStoren> « he's not there yet :p »
<Chrys> «ooc: I'm outside. »
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys is ou...yeah »
<GMStoren> « Oh. sorry ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: :D »
* Niki walks out of the kitchen with a big glass of milk in her hand.
<Cody> «ooc: Niki is a damn Cow Drunkard »
<Chrys> «ooc: ...! »
* Rachel reaches out to squeeze Cody's hand briefly before sprinting to his room.....she returns moments later with the sword and her pack...
<Roric> «ooc: -drunkard »
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm. ^^ »
<GMStoren> The balding, sandy haired minister soon reaches the door, confronting Chrys. "I assure you, I'm not here to 'abduct' anyone. Your presences are allr equired at the castle, and I've come to personally escort you there. The memorial services will begin shortly."
<Niki> «ooc: Naw, she saw to many of those stupid 'Got Milk' commercials. »
<Cody> «ooc: Hey, is Rhiana here? »
<GMStoren> « I'd think she is »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Maybe, maybe not ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: :O »
<Cody> «ooc: Magical! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: What about Tori and Rahne? »
* Cody sighs and heads outside.
* Chrys chuckles, speaking with a touch of sarcasm. "...Heh, ironic. Few months ago, there was several million luc on my head. And now y'want me t'accompany you for th'king's coronation."
<GMStoren> As cody steps out they all bow to him respectfully.
* Roric mutters something inaudible and follows Cody.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rhiana is watching, but she ain't made her appearance yet »
* Niki finishes her milk, and heads outside to see whats up...sporting a new white milk moustashe.
*** Rachel (Eternal@mtw315.nf.sympatico.ca) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<GMStoren> [Prime Minister] You are a hero now sir. You did save our kingdom.
* Chrys rolls his eyes at the bowing pansies and brushes the crumbs off his shirt, raising an eyebrow. "Mm. Good for me. Really."
* Cody glances sidelong at Chrys.
<GMStoren> [Prime Minister] But now, we need your help in directing it's future course... along with the Prince's. Please, step inside...
* Chrys mumbles under his breath, looking at Cody. "Ready to fold on this hand, too, Cody? That's the problem with people who don't gamble...they never notice all the good cards."
* Cody gives Chrys a strange look, but doesn't say anything.
<Niki> Who's the bald hairy guy?
* Cody relucantly steps inside the carriage.
<GMStoren> one of the bodyguards holds the door open for everyone. Tori and Rahne appear in the doorway of the Inn, Rahne bowing to the officials and remaining protectively close to him.
<Roric> ...
<Roric> Hey!
<Roric> ...
* Chrys shakes his head, looking at Niki. "Nik', he's nobody important."
* Roric sighs.
<GMStoren> « er him= cody »
<Roric> ...we don't 'ave time for this, folks.
<Niki> Okay.
<GMStoren> « rache pinged? :/ »
* Chrys rolls his eyes and steps in the damn carriage already.
<Niki> Were going for a ride?
<Cody> «ooc: Looks like it. »
<Chrys> «ooc: A few minutes ago, Stor. A bit slow on the uptake? ^^; »
* Roric looks a bit surprised to see Chrys following Cody.
<GMStoren> The minister scofs a bit at Roric's dismissal, but does not take offense considering who the company is.
<Roric> (m)Bloody fucking...

*** Cody sets mode: +o Rachel
<Rachel> <<Evil.>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Rachel ^_^ »
<Cody> «ooc: We're just stepping into the carriage. And Chrys is being an ass :D »
<Rachel> <<Ooh! How? :D>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Lots of ways! ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: >:D »
<Cody> «ooc: And Roric doesn't want us to go because it's a waste of time which is true! »
<Cody> «ooc: *jumps out of a cake* »
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Roric> «ooc: He's also worried they'll try to force you to stay. »
<GMStoren> « wb rachel.. ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: *dumps whipped cream on Cody's head* »
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm. Whipped cream :D »
<GMStoren> « roric has legitimate fears, he does. ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: And frankly, he doesn't want these people in the kingdom where buildings are randomly crushing people, anyway. »
<Niki> «ooc: >> As Chrys does this....Cody hears from another room. "Dinner Time!" »
<GMStoren> « But you stopped the quakes ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: But there's severe structural damage. At this rate Cody's going to rule in an outhouse. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: And I'm not around, or am I? Gee hee »
* Cody sits by one of the carriage windows, looking out. He's still very quiet, lost in thought.
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh. Outhouse! »
<GMStoren> « Elman died when an aftershock from the appearance of Umber leveled a section of the castle's keep. ^^ »
* Roric waves. "I'll catch up with you guys in Pandora...I don't much like the company in th'carriage."
<Chrys> «ooc: And who's to say there won't be more aftershocks? Splat, codycake. »
<Cody> «ooc: X-x Mmm. »
<GMStoren> [Prime Minister] If that's your wish. But you will miss the memorial.
<Roric> Yeah, well, somehow I'll survive./
* Chrys mumbles. "Aw, hell, there's going to be a memorial?"
<Niki> Memorial...for what?
* Roric sighs.
<Roric> (m) Don't need this today...
* Roric goes back inside to get his stuff.
<Rachel> ....
<GMStoren> [Prime Minister] For the King and lose who lsot their lives in the battle with the fearsome Earth Beast.
<GMStoren> « er those »
<Niki> Aww...sucks to be then.
<Niki> «ooc: them. »
* Cody looks to Rachel for a moment.
<Chrys> ...If it was so fearsome, it wouldn't be a smear on the Pandoran pavement right now...
* Rachel returns the gaze, her lip twitching faintly.
<GMStoren> Once again the Minister is a bit miffed at the rudeness displayed to him, but attempt to take it in stride. "Thanks to your efforts it is. At least let us celebrate your victory."
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: Yes...it'll be a memorial...WITH PUNCH AND PIE! »
<Rachel> We really don't have much time to celebrate. 
<Roric> Sure. Anyone else wants ta 'oof it, they're free.
* Rachel looks tempted at Ror's offer.
<Cody> ..Go on, Rachel. I'll be all right.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Oooh, Punch AND Pie »
* Chrys does as well, but decides to sit his ass down.
<GMStoren> Emerald whispers something to Rachel.
<Chrys> «ooc: *punches Cody* Okay, where's the pie? ^_- »
<Cody> Go on. It's okay. All of you.
* Cody tries to smile a bit.
<Rachel> <<Emerald: I bet the Minister has a big package!>>
<Roric> «ooc: So Rhiana's the only other one not going? »
<Niki> «ooc: Cody: Sounds like a skit on Whos Line. 'Today we honor the death of (Whoever his name was). And since he was such a festive guy, were holding a twister marti gras after the sermen. »
* Chrys shoots a glare at Cody briefly and shrugs, getting out of the carriage. "I don't like hearing about dead people."
<GMStoren> « so noone wants to go? :) »
<Cody> ...Go on. You don't want to sit at some dull ceremony anyway.
<Chrys> ...
<Rachel> I'm going. Never know when you might need some mercenary muscle.
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Actually, it'd be great if no one went cuz I can EAT »
<Roric> «ooc: I assume Rahne anxd Tori went. »
<Rachel> <<Sorry, luv, it's in the plans ^^>>
<Cody> «ooc: Ah. Kay ^^ »
<GMStoren> « they will. rahne especially.. she's good at functions n stuff ^^ »
* Cody smiles , this time it looks more genuine, "Thanks..."
<Roric> «ooc: And Niki went, didn't she? »
<Niki> «ooc: No, she just asked if we were going somewhere. »
* Rachel smiles slightly before her stoic look returns to her face and she just leans back, waiting to get going.
<GMStoren> [Prime Minister] Anyone else coming? We really must be off now to make it. I wish the rest a safe journey.
<Roric> Niki, maybe you should go.
<Niki> Why?
<Rhiana> «ooc: Because Roric doesn't like you ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Yeah I know that much. ;) »
<Roric> Well, there'll be lots ta eat. Also, Chrys'n me're gents up ta no good.
<Niki> I'm not hungry.  I just ate.
* Niki pats her stomach.
<GMStoren> He steps inside, and the soldiers take up position near the front, one holding the door another moment for Niki.
<Roric> Well, whatever, but don't complain later, kid.
<Niki> Hmm...
* Chrys looks at Niki. "Go on, Niki. Cody'd probably like your company."
<Cody> «ooc: ...WOW THAT'S THE MOST EVIL THING YET ;D »
* Niki looks at the two.
<Niki> Why are you trying to make me go?  I can stay if I want.  And I'm going to cuz you all want me to go.  Because you want me to go I'm gonna stay!
* Niki sticks her tongue out.
<Roric> OK.
<Rhiana> «ooc: I saw that one coming »
<Niki> «ooc: That made no sense cuz I left out one word. »
* Roric sighs and pulls his hat over his eyes.
<GMStoren> He soon steps aboard as well, and the driver whips the horses up, making a beeline out of Kippo. Soon it's nothing more than a receeding dust cloud.
<Niki> «ooc: And I'm not going. »
<Chrys> ...Whatever.
* Rhiana snickers as she steps from behind the building, "Up to no good?"
* Roric looks a bit surprised, turning just slightly too fast. "Oh, there ya are. You catch all that?"
* Chrys raises an eyebrow. "Hi, Rhi. Looking forward to tormenting me on the way to Pandora?"
<Rhiana> Certainly did.
<Roric> ...wait a sec. Thought.
<Roric> Who's got the drum?
<Roric> Cody?
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> « I'm rpetty sure he does, yes. »
* Rhiana shrugs, "I don't really know. I've never used it."
<Niki> I don't.
<Roric> Chrys?
* Chrys roots in his pockets a bit..
<Chrys> ...Figures. Rahne never gave it back to me. Gave it to -Cody- instead.
<GMStoren> You can't seme to find it... last you remember Cody sued it to bring Rachel here.
<Roric> ...so none of us do? Heh. Good. *rubs his eyes* Damn, this is a shitty day already, though. OK, let's 'it th'road.
<GMStoren> « er used »
* Niki grabs a few things on the ground, then runs back in the inn.
<Rhiana> I think this is a waste of precious time, mind you.
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Sorry! »
<Roric> What is?
<Rhiana> This...banquet
* Niki runs back out holding a REALLY bad imitation of the drum, with a stick, a piece of paper, and two little rocks being held on by string. "I made a new one."
* Roric looks back, already walking at a good clip despite an apparent headache. "Of course it is. And I don't trust them Pandora fuckers fer a second."
<Chrys> More like shitty year. And it -is- a waste of precious time, Rhiana, but I'd rather not have the Pandoran guard huffing down our throats while we're trying to fucking kill godbeasts.
* Niki spins it and the rocks tear right through the paper. "Uhh...guess not."
<Rhiana> We're in total agreement, Roric.
<Roric> «ooc: hehehe. »
<GMStoren> « aww... ^^ »
*** Cody is now known as Cody-away
* Cody-away is gone (Dinner! :D)
* Rhiana shrugs, "So what was your plan, Roric?"
<Roric> It's not overly complicated. We go there on the sly and make sure nothin' weird happens. Can't do that with big uglies breathin' down me throat.
<Rhiana> Then we're 2 for 2 today.
<Roric> Scary.
<Rhiana> I fully plan on attending as well.
<GMStoren> « question you bunch... »
<GMStoren> « if something interrupt the party you going to jet at first chance..? ;) »
<Chrys> Then let's go. -_- Should only take a few hours.
<Roric> «ooc: It depends what it is. »
<GMStoren> « Good enough answer for me. ^_^; »
<GMStoren> « hitting the road now? »
<Rhiana> I'm too paranoid for my own good, I think.  But instincts are instincts.
<Roric> «ooc: Yeh. Fast as I can manage. »
<Roric> Well, kid's been kidnapped before.
<Chrys> You aren't, Rhi.
<Chrys> Things're going to go to hell. We'll get out of it. That's how it always fucking happens. It's routine by now. So why try to fight the damn system...?
*** Scott (bmscott@PPPa61-ResaleMemphis2-1R7052.dialinx.net) has left #pureland
<Rhiana> I suppose we don't have any horses or anything around here
<Roric> We'll make it.
* Rhiana nods, "Hope so."
<Niki> So were going anyways?
<GMStoren> You can't seem to find any horses for use.. the only one still in the village is one near the fields to the west, tied to a plow. ^^
<Rhiana> We're going to a banquet, Niki
<Niki> Okay...where?
<Rhiana> Pandora Castle.
<Roric> You can stay, Niki. Unless you can move those little legs damn fast, that is...
* Chrys shrugs and starts on the path, proving once again, there is no 'i' in team, but there is in 'determined'.
<Niki> I'm fast. :P
<Niki> I bet I could take a shortcut too.
<Roric> You do that.
<Rhiana> "short"cut
* Niki hovers over some flowers. "Gimme a shortcut."
* Rhiana stretches, "Let's get moving then, shall we?"
* Roric goes a bit faster while Niki's dawdling, offhandedly hoping she'll get way behind.
* Rhiana follows, attempting to make good time..even though she's not athletically gifted
<GMStoren> Not one to be daunted, Chrys starts out from the village, Roric and the rest hot on his heels soon after...
<Niki> «ooc: What about me? ;_; »
<Roric> «ooc: Niki gets lost and is never seen again »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Let's sell Niki into slavery »
<GMStoren> « lol.. ^^ »
<GMStoren> « did Lucca say when she was returning? :) »
<Niki> «ooc: So much for a shortcut. :P »
<GMStoren> >> Meanwhile...
<Rhiana> «ooc: In Gotham City... »
<Niki> «ooc: Stately Wayne Manor. »
<Roric> «ooc: What WILL happen to Cody? Tune in next week, same fat time, same fat channel. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Adam West and George Clooney get into a fight at the front gate as to who's house this is »
<Rhiana> «ooc: LOL Gayo »
*** Windstar (mikemccart@cs2734-20.austin.rr.com) has left #pureland
<GMStoren> Back at Pandora castle, Rachel, Cody, and company attend the memorial service for the passing of Elman I, as well as several citizens who perished in the attacks. There's a very solemn air that hangs over the place as it draws to a close with the official coronation of Cody as Etienne I. After some time, Rachel is seperated from him as they get him ready for the banquet to come, in one of the guest quarters that was spared most of the damage...
<Roric> «ooc: Heh, is Kurik listen in the victims? »
<GMStoren> « probably... ^^; »
<Rachel> <<Eep. ^^>>
<GMStoren> « well he was a noble house. this is a mass thing. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: It'd be funny if he had his own memorial service. »
<GMStoren> « nono :p »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^^;;;; »
<Rachel> <<Am I going now? O_o solo?>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Then Rachel'll wreck it ^^; »
<GMStoren> Emerald lays on a pillow, contemplatively.
<GMStoren> « yes Rache ^^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: lies on a pillow? ^^; »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: or is it lays? :o »
<Roric> «ooc: lies »
<Chrys> «ooc: lies on the pillow, lays Rachel »
<GMStoren> « lol.. right.. funny example :p »
* Cody-away is back (WHO IS LAYING MY RACHEL! :O) (gone: 18mins 20secs))
*** Cody-away is now known as Cody
* Rachel sits next to the pillow, head in her hands and muttering. "I hate this stuff...."
<Cody> «ooc: Scrolls up fast like »
*** TrueBlue (trueblue@h0010b5597444.ne.mediaone.net) has joined #pureland
<GMStoren> [Emerald] You see the look in Cody's eyes?
<Rhiana> «ooc: Emerald> He's fucking horny »
<Rachel> Yeah.....the poor guy...
* Rachel sighs and drops her hands, straightening...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] I'd almost say this is worse torture than him being sick...
<Rachel> This is the last thing he needs. The last thing any of us need.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] ...you sound like you've probably got a daring plan forming in that lovely head of yours. ;)
<Cody> «ooc: ...I see a fat joke was made in my absence ;) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: What happened? o_o »
* Rachel starts to grin. "....yes. Yes....I do."
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well don't keep it a secret from your partner... share! *tilts her head in a listening manner*
<Rhiana> «ooc: And it wasn't made by me :O »
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah but you laughed ;) »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Well, it was funny ;) »
* Rachel flops back onto the bed, reaching out to tug the pillow closer....she begins to whisper to Emerald excitedly. ^^
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rachel> We're having a secret meeting slumber party! *giggle* »
<Rachel> <<"First, we get some hot fudge....then we get naked...and we have a threesome. Instant stress relief!">>
<GMStoren> Emerald starts nodding her head, smiling, giggling once. "Oh.. hey... yeah.. I like that.."
<Chrys> «ooc: ! »
<Rachel> <<^_->>
<GMStoren> « is that a ping quote? ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: IMO yes. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Hee :D »
<Niki> «ooc: It is. »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] I think it's safe to say you're back to your old form, Rache. Now we gotta pull this off right.
<GMStoren> There's a knock at the door. :)
<Cody> «ooc: Aww hell. She's going to prance in naked :o »
* Rachel exhales a bit and sits up again, heading for the door...she pauses at it. "Hello?"
<Cody> ...It's me.  ^^;
* Rachel tugs the door open. "So it is." ^^;
* Cody stands before Rachel looking...er...Royal. ^^; His hair is nicely combed and he's wearing a very nice ensamble of a royal shirt, slacks, and cloak.
<Cody> ...These clothes make me itch ^^; Er...can I come in?
<Roric> «ooc: <Rachel> Well, let's get you out of them! »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody:...Okay! »
<GMStoren> Rachel notices a couple of soldiers down the hall, watching. After all, it's their job to protect the king. ^^
* Rachel raises an eyebrow and steps back...she says loudly for the soldiers to hear, mocking them. "Sure, you can strip down in the corner, honey. I've got the chocolate by the bed like last time. I hope you brought the whips!"
* Rachel tugs Cody inside and closes the door. ^^
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o; WTF. »
<GMStoren> One of them sweatdrops. o_O;
* Cody busts out laughing!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ... »

<GMStoren> Emerald dies laughing
<Roric> «ooc: Emerald sees the reaper »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rhiana is preparing her law suit »
<GMStoren> « heh ^^ »
<Cody> ^^; Heh. That was good.
* Rachel runs her hand through her hair and smiles slightly. "Thanks. How are things?"
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel: What was good? Why aren't you naked yet? »
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Cody> ...Strange. Very strange...I don't like being a royal much...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Did you manage to get out of the party thing?
* Rachel looks at Cody's hair and raises an eyebrow, tentively reaching out to ruffle it slightly, making it look more natural. ^^;
<Rhiana> «ooc: Party? Shouldn't Rachel be jumping out of a cake or somethin'? »
* Cody frowns... "...No. I tried."
<GMStoren> The less-fancy dress crown on Cody's head reflects the light once.
<Cody> «ooc: Yay I'm dressed like a fag! »
<Cody> «ooc: ...Roric possessed me. Get him out! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: *performs and exorcist* :o »
<Rachel> Mmm. Will I be required to wear a froofroo dress? I was raised in one.. ^^;
*** Roric (foon@pix142166203223.nbtel.net) has left #pureland

<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o Oops? »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] ...darn, you become a King and a husband in one day?
<Cody> ...Apparently...
<Roric> «ooc: What'd I miss? »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: OOH. CINDERELLA. »
<Cody> ...I need to get out of here or I'll scream...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Roric: nothing ^^; »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] We're working on it, Cody... *winks to Rachel once*
<Cody> ...Oh? ^^

<Rachel> Mmhmm. Leave everything to us. We are the Mercenaries, after all. ^_-

<Roric> «ooc: I bet they don't have a plan at all. :D »
<Cody> Did...sorta...bring you up.. ^^; You know...

* Rachel tilts her head slightly and carefully doesn't react.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Gods, I would love it if it was a Cinderella kinda thing :) »
<Roric> «ooc: Cody: Since, you know, I killed your husband. »
<Cody> «ooc: >:D »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: :o »
<Rachel> I bet they killed themselves laughing, hmm?
<GMStoren> « It's all aprt of his fatal attarction! »

<Cody> ...Sorta.
<GMStoren> « maybe we should make a movie »
<Rachel> The widowed wife of the psychotic Kurik Brodeur....no longer a maiden...yeah, pretty funny stuff.
<Roric> «ooc: Actually it'd be cool if Cody married Rhiana. »
* Rachel rubs her neck.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo ;_; »
<Roric> «ooc: *throws a bookshelf at Chris* »
<Cody> You're still a noble...But they ...mentioned something about too much...it doesn't really matter.
<Chrys> «ooc: It'd be funny if Cody married Niki. »
<Cody> «ooc: It'd be funny if Cody married his hand »
<Rachel> <<Too much? :o>>
<Cody> «ooc: I mean ;) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ... ><;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; »
<Rachel> Ah well. At least you mentioned me. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Rachel... hey, chin up. If anyone yells at you for not being maidenly, you whip them good. ;)
<Roric> «ooc: Minister: Er, yes...the trouble is, you see, she has rather too much, uh, you know...*cups his hands a few inches behind his buttocks* »
* Rachel blinks and grins faintly at Emerald. ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Hah! »
<Rachel> <<lol Ror!>>
<GMStoren> One of the soldiers knocks on the door. "Your highness.."
<Cody> Yes?
<GMStoren> « lol o_O »
* Cody turns around.
* Rachel opens her mouth to yell a sarcastic remark at the soldier but restrains herself. ^^:
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_O lol, Roric ^^: »
<GMStoren> [Guard] The party's almost set to begin, and you are the King...
* Rachel mumbles. "Right...so you damn well get to decide when and where you go. Not them."
<GMStoren> [Guard] So please, don't keep them waiting too long, Higness. ^^
* Cody loses all happiness from his face, looking grim again, "Yes...I'll...I'll be right there."
<GMStoren> Emerald mutters something.
<GMStoren> « hey si the rest of the group entering normally into the party? :) »
<Rachel> <<Grrrrrrrk... O_o holy god sharp gut pain....brb>>
<Cody> I'll...I'll see you later, Rachel. Promise...
<Roric> «ooc: As surreptitiously as possible. I intend to ditch Niki right away through any means possible. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ;_; Tums? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys is. He figures that he needs to be around to pull Cody's ass out of the barbeque. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Point her torwards a Weapons Store? »
<Cody> «ooc: Point her towards some milk! »
<Cody> «ooc: Waits for sexy siren rachel! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o. I don't follow your train of thought, Lucca ^^; »
<Rachel> Cody...!
* Cody starts to walk out the door, but stops for a moment, turning to Rachel, "Yeah...?"
* Rachel glares out behind Cody and at the guards...she then ducks her head, kissing Cody gently....
<Chriswizard> «ooc: WOO :D »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Aww ;_; socute. »
* Cody blinks and kisses her back, "...I really wish I didn't have to leave. ^^;"
<Cody> «ooc: I want sex :| er. »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^^;;;;;;; »
<GMStoren> « none of that folks i have a session to run ^_^; »
<Rachel> It's fine...I'll see you soon. Promise. Don't give your heart away too soon. ^_-
* Rachel steps away and sits back on the bed..
<Cody> ^^; I'll try to stall.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: A lude? :o »
* Cody waves back to her with a smile, and heads out with the guards.
<Chrys> «ooc: Chris, you make my head hurt. »
<Roric> «ooc: Chris, too much. :o »
<Cody> «ooc: *Splut!* »
<Roric> «ooc: Er, too much ":o" »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Heavy is the head that wears the crown, the sages said...
<GMStoren> Cody elaves with his entourage.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Ah. :D »
<Cody> «ooc: Heavy is the ass too. ... ... ... God. I hate you, Roric and Rhiana. I hate you SO MUCH ^*(SGHS »
<Roric> «ooc: Ehehje. »
* Rachel looks to Emerald with a sigh and begins to get ready.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Let's get Cody a bowflex for a wedding present »
<Cody> «ooc: Damn, fuck Cody. I WANT A BOWFLEX »
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
<Chrys> «ooc: I want a bow so I can shoot Cody ;) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^_^; »
<GMStoren> Time soon passes, as the grand banquet gets underway. The ballroom is soon filled with nobles and visitors of all types, which some workers toil to get the place cleaned up from the attacks. Through various means Roric, Chrys, and Rhiana slip into the place considering security outside is lax.
<Rhiana> «ooc: I think we should vote Chrys off the Flammie ;) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Survivor: SoMRPG Style :D »
<GMStoren> Niki finds her way inside through a shortcut she heard from a flower or two, ending up near the rear of the place. A fellow is playing a soft piano tune, warming up, as Cody is seated on a throne nearby, watching over the party wearily.
* Chrys looks extremely NOT wanting to be here, but goes and grabs a few hors d'ouvres.
* Roric watches quietly from the crowd, noting each exit carefully.
* Rhiana goes to a place no where in particular..watching observantly.
* Roric observes watchfully.
<GMStoren> The Prime Minister is in attendance and so is Phanna, seated near Cody, along with Rahne & Tori not too far away. Rachel doesn't seem to be about..
* Cody looks rather miserable.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Cody looks..normal »
* Chrys glances at Cody, confident the young gemma/king/sextoy doesn't see him, and mutters various obscenities under his breath.
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Cody is Chrys's sex toy? »
* Niki notices Cody, and walks up to him.
<GMStoren> Other dignitaries in attendance that you notice is Princess Elmira of Sylvanos, wearing one of her tardemark pink dresses. she sipping on some wine, and staring at the King in the distance.
<Rachel> <<Gah ;)>>
<Roric> «ooc: Wouldn't someone stop Niki? »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: HAH. You ain't got nothin' on Rachel, girl. »
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! I'm going to marry my cousin! :O~~~~ Er...is she my cousin? »
<Roric> «ooc: *hits Chris* »
<Niki> «ooc: Bring a clueless 12 year old is fun. ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: Lucca: You can wear identical wedding dresses! »
<GMStoren> Chrys catches a familair face in the crowd as well... a blonde long haired vixen in an elegant gown.
<GMStoren> Niki is stopped by a guard or two.
* Chrys notices a fairly familiar crown of blonde hair and chokes on a cheeseball
* Cody looks up to Niki, "No...No it's okay. She's a friend of mine..."
* Rhiana sees lots of people she knows...but through briefings and not personal aquaintances
<Niki> Yeah, I'm just gonna say hi.
<GMStoren> [Guard] I see... very well yur Highness.
<Rachel> <<Quick, someone give Chrys a thump!...on the back!>>
* Niki walks up to Cody. "Hi."
<Cody> Hey Niki. ^^ What's up?
* Roric doesn't see anyone he knows. Oh wait, there's Cody.
<Cody> . o O ( ...This is so surreal... )
<Niki> Nothing really.  You look....bored.
* Chrys coughs and looks away, trying to concentrate on NOT killing someone now ^^
<Cody> I am sorta. ^^; But don't tell anyone. They might get mad if I say that. ^^;
<Rhiana> «ooc: A kindly and gentler Chrys »
<Cody> «ooc: Now with less fat. More vitamins »
<GMStoren> « why am i lsitening to nemuro memorial hall.. ^^ »
<Niki> Okay.  Mind if I stay here?  I don't think I know anyone else here.
<Chrys> «ooc: Because it's fitting, Stor. »
*** TrueBlue (trueblue@h0010b5597444.ne.mediaone.net) Quit (Quit: Blip!)
<Chriswizard> «ooc: (Not approved by the FDA) »
<GMStoren> « heh :) »
<Cody> I don't mind...^^ I think I see the others in the crowd though...*peers* Yeah...over there is Roric...Hmm. When they'd get here?
<GMStoren> [Phanna] Cody... it's almost time for the first dance of the evening... look at all the people. but I don't see Rachel...
<Cody> ...You don't?
<Niki> «ooc: Why did I think that. >> The blonde haired vixen walks up to take the spot light...and after a moment of silence she opens her mouth. "Oh my hero. So far away now! Will I ever see your smile." »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Phanna> Don't smell her either...which is normally what first strikes my senses »
* Cody peers again, and frowns, "..."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Haaaah. »
* Niki spots Roric. "I'd rather stay here..."
<Cody> That's fine. I'd really like the company ^^:
<Cody> «ooc: BRB ^_^ »
<Niki> I'm keeping you company. :D
<Rhiana> «ooc: Niki Gump, master of the obvious ;) »
<GMStoren> the music starts to slow and stop as everyone looks.
<Roric> «ooc: Codu should dance with Niki. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_-; »
<Niki> «ooc: <Niki> Life is like a box of chocolates...I wonder if that means life is tasty... »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: LOL. »
<Roric> «ooc: That's like something Marlene would say. »
<Cody> «ooc: I really was thinkong (Am) that storen is gonna force me to dance with Niki ^^ »
<GMStoren> Elmira put down her wine, and grabs the hem of her dress, and walks up to the rough center of the dance floor, along with a few other of the females in attendance. She smiles once at him and courtseys.
<Rhiana> «ooc: I wonder if this means we're gonna have Rachel in an elegant gown »
<Chrys> «ooc: curtsey »
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! »
<Chrys> «ooc: curtsies »
<Cody> «ooc: Watch her come in Leon's BIG PANDA SUIT »
<Rhiana> «ooc: LOL »
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o; I REMEMBER THAT »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Not just any panda suit »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Sexual Awareness Panda »
<Cody> «ooc: I gave Andrew the idea too. I'm so proud »
<GMStoren> [Elmira] It's so lovely to see you again, Etienne... I came all this way to see you. :)
* Cody stands up, "...I...ah...It's good to see you too, Elmira... ^^;"
<GMStoren> Looking a her conjures in Cody's mind the fact he WAS her not more than a week or two ago. ^^
* Niki looks at Elmira and starts to laugh a little.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Elmira> I want to hug you and squeeze you and luv you to peices you widdle iddy biddy Cody type person! »
<Cody> «ooc: ELEVATOR GO UP! »
<Niki> «ooc: nonono, its Elelator! »

<Chriswizard> «ooc: pleasure :D »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: ...don't correct typoes. »
<Roric> «ooc: Besides, with Storen you'd be doing it every post. »
<Niki> «ooc: Unless your correcting Cody's...then it gets Lucca mad. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: >:D »
<GMStoren> Another girl steps out of the crowd, the one Chrys saw before. Despite her refines gown, Cody sees something unnerving in the way she's staring at him... ^^
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^^: I just do the ones I'm sure I'll miss ^^; »
<Cody> Er...hello, Miss...er...Miss...
<Rhiana> «ooc: The King has an entire brothel of bitches »
<Roric> «ooc: You could notice yourself. That's what I do in WA. »
<Cody> . o O ( ...She wants to eat me. Oh god. What is this, a harem!? )
<GMStoren> [Girl] I'm Myrianne.... but you can call me Queen. Yours. ^_^
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_O. LOL »
* Rhiana folds her arms, "I bet Chrys and Roric are drooling right now."
<Niki> I'd be funny if she tripped on her dress.  Long dresses suck.
<GMStoren> Phanna sweatdrops. "I...see..." ^^;
* Chrys shoots a glare at Rhiana, happening to be standing right next to her.
<Cody> Er...Well, it's very nice to meet you, Uh...Myrianne. ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Cody should have her executed. :D »
<GMStoren> A few other girls start almost lining up to greet Cody, all pressuring him to dance. It's almost frightening.
<Cody> . o O ( Oh goddess this IS a harem! )
<GMStoren> Rahne looks beside herself. *^^*;
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: Nono. She'd be wringing her tail ;_; »
* Rhiana snickers, "I could scare him out of his royal pants, but I think I'll just stand here."
* Chrys raises an eyebrow, striding up past the ladies and grabbing Cody lightly by the sleeve. "I'll dance with you, Hylissa. We need to talk."
<Niki> .oO( I wonder if they're gonna make me do that stupid stuff.  'Hi I'm Niki, All these other ones suck!'  I better not have to do that.
<Niki> «ooc: ) »
<Cody> Ah-! Er...Uh...Chrys? ^^;
<Rachel> <<I knew Deepest Hurt wasn't that far off!>>
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys should be wearing Elmira's dress. :D »
<Rhiana> ...Now that's a couple
<GMStoren> [Myrianne] Hey.. wait a minute!
* Chrys yanks Cody out of the seat and lifts him up by his collar. "What do you think you're doing?!"
* Roric winces, then rubs his eyes.
<GMStoren> Elmira blinks.
* Niki takes Cody's seat. :D
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_O LOL. :D »
* Cody wideyes, "W...what are -you- doing? You...you could be executed for this...! Don't!"
<GMStoren> [Myrianne] Hey, don't go stealing my shot at fame Chrys! :o
<GMStoren> [Phanna] What the...?
<Rhiana> ..I wonder if they'll kiss on their first date
<GMStoren> [Prime Minister] Your Highness!
* Roric pushes his way closer to the front of the crowds.
<Roric> «ooc: crowd »
<Rhiana> ..but I guess this wouldn't be a party for Cody if we didn't throw our normal Daily Talk Show spin on it...
* Chrys shakes Cody a little. "Yeah, I damn well could be executed. I don't CARE. What the hell are you doing, listening to what these fucking nobles are telling you to do? What fucking happened to saving the world? Protecting RACHEL? Hm? Are you really that fucking shallow?!"
<GMStoren> The girls all either star at Chrys, confused, hateful, or a mix of all three. "!!!"
<Cody> L...Let go! Agh! Don...this isn't permenent....we had a plan...
<Chrys> «ooc: confused, hateful, or a mix of all three? Learn to count, Stor. »
<GMStoren> « sory. ^^ »
* Roric stands on tiptoes, trying to hear what Chrys is saying above the tumult.
<Rachel> << <Girls> I knew he was too cute to be true! ;_; <Chrys> Sorry, girls, but my name is really Criz and this is -my- man!>>
<GMStoren> « AGH O_O »
<Rhiana> «ooc: LOL »
<Cody> «ooc: Gah!! »
<Roric> «ooc: ...you're weird, Rachel. »
<Roric> «ooc: Hehehhe. »
<Rachel> <<You're just figuring this out now? ^^>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: Chrys...Criz...that's not just a coinicidence :O »
<GMStoren> [Myrianne] *tries to grab Cody from Chrys* Offa my future hubby!
<Chrys> Yeah, bullshit. You're just going to sit on your pansy little ass, not bothering to do anything yourself, right? You're going to make us do ALL the work around here, and just fucking carry you along for the ride, huh? You're just the abductee of the week, every fucking WEEK!
<Rhiana> This is getting harsh..looks like it needs a woman's touch.
<Cody> T...That's not true...!
* Chrys takes a moment away from Cody to punch Myria. "I don't have time for your fucking games, bitch!"
<Chriswizard> «ooc: OW. »
<Rachel> <<LOL, that's not gonna go over well.>>
<Rhiana> ...goodness.
<Cody> «ooc: I think Myria should be like that RPGworld red-headed NPC ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Here, Chrys, have a kitten. ^^>>
* Rhiana steps over to Chrys and Cody
<GMStoren> Chrys lands a ncie jab on Myrianna. Paypack's a bitch it seems. ^^
<Roric> «ooc: Ahehehehehahaha... »
* Chrys looks back at Cody. "And HOW is it not true? If it's not one thing, it's another! You're the gemma. You're a fucking king. And no matter what, you're always everything for someone!"
<GMStoren> The guards start rushing to the mob scene near the floor.
<Cody> I don't want to be the gemma, or the king, dammit! I have no CHOICE!
<GMStoren> [Elmira] Let go of him... please!
* Roric sighs, casting a cloud of sleep flowers towards the onrushing guards.
<Roric> «ooc: Wow, Cody is being a pussy. »
<Rhiana> ..that is quite enough
<Chrys> THEN RUN, YOU FUCKING PANSY! You have before!
<Roric> «ooc: Even if this IS the stupidest thing Chrys has ever done. ^_~ »
* Rhiana steps up to them
* Chrys snarls at Rhiana. "You want me to make you eat the upholstery, too? Back off."
<GMStoren> Roric puts a few guards to sleep... as the prime minister and Phanna arise to try to pull chrys off themselves if need be.
<Rhiana> Stop this right now Chrys
* Rachel launches from somewhere above, suddenly, with a cry! She swoops down , slamming into Chrys and Cody, sending Chrys sprawling away and grabbing Cody safely against her with one arm!
<Rhiana> Otherwise you won't like the result.
<Cody> «ooc: It's XENA AYAYAYAYAYAIE! »
* Rachel clings to a chandalier rope with her free hand! ^^
<Cody> Gah-! O_O
<Chriswizard> «ooc: YAY. :D »
* Roric casts Sleep Flower on Chrys.
* Chrys gets floored by Tarzan, Queen of the Apes. ;P
<Roric> «ooc: Wait, nuke that. »
<Rachel> <<Screw you, taxpayer, this is cool!>>
<Rhiana> Well, that was interesting.
<Roric> ...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: TARZAN? »
<GMStoren> Rachel apears from nowhere, her yell echoing in the ballroom... with one swoop she barrels through the mob coming away the other side with Cody!
<Roric> This is the world's stupidest plan.
* Rhiana pulls back on the heel of her glove before grasping her whip
* Roric sighs and rubs his temples.
* Chrys pulls himself up, wiping a bit of blood from his mouth. "...Always him..."
* Rachel hugs Cody against her and drops to the floor, away from the mob.
* Niki just sits back, sitting on the throne, basically confused.
<Cody> Am...I ever glad to see you...
<Rhiana> Chrys, I suggest you take your immature jealousy and do one of two things.
<Niki> «ooc: >> Garr walks in. "Niki, what are you doing sitting on the throne?!" »
<Rachel> I bet. ^_- Right....let's book, shall we?
<GMStoren> he remaining guards and an angry mob of girls immeditaely persues Rachel! ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Phooey! »
<Rhiana> Either deal with it, like a man.  Or prepare to eat mana.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Roric vaults onto the stage, drawing the boomerang and whipping it after the guards.
* Chrys raises an eyebrow, still snarling at Rhiana. "So I die or I kill myself."
<GMStoren> Phanna and the prime minister are seeing stars. x-x
<Roric> Chrys, if you ever do anything like that again you will deal with me personally.
<Niki> Oops, guess I get to help.
<Rhiana> Your petty jealousy is so disgusting, it makes me angry
* Cody is gone! vamoose!
* Niki runs in front of the guards and swings her hefty axe in front of them, leaving a nice hole in the ground.
<Rachel> <<Ohhhh no you don't!>>
<Cody> «ooc: He's with Rachel, isn't he? ^^ »
* Rachel rushes with Cody, looking for a way out ^_-
* Rhiana pulls back on the heel of her other glove, tightening it
<Cody> «ooc: So he's sorta gone! Vamoose! »
<Rachel> <<Yes, he is...but we're not done yet, luv! ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh! »
<Cody> «ooc: Then I retract that statement! »
* Chrys looks at Roric briefly, and winces a bit at Rhiana's words. "Fine. I'll try to keep it under control from now on. I make no guaruntees, though, so don't hesitate to blast me if I do it again, okay, Rhi?"
<GMStoren> Rachel plows out the back exit, the party distracting people with the violence. What a party this has turned into...
* Cody manages to keep up with Rachel ^^:
<GMStoren> [Prime Minister] Damnit, the King!
* Roric grabs an arras, bringing it down onto the crowd with a tug and running across it, bounding across a few people's backs.
* Rhiana turns her back to her comrade, "Fine. Remember those words. I most certainly will."
* Chrys nods. "Now, it looks like the idea is to get the hell out of here."
<Niki> Ooh, I have an idea. :D
* Rachel utters a low laugh as she runs, seeming yo enjoy this in a fucked up way.. "Almost...almost there!"
<Rhiana> Well, I'm angry now.
* Chrys takes a running jump and crowd surfs...no, wait, more like crowd slides... towards the back exit.
<Rhiana> So who wants to eat mana?
* Niki uses her right hand to punch the front guard, wondering if she can knock them all down.
<GMStoren> Rachel runs some more to find.. a balcony. Eep.
<Cody> Oh no...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Oh oh.. dead end...
* Rachel skids to a stop and pants softly.. she glances about.
<Roric> «ooc: We're on the second storey? »
<Rachel> Please! We've gotten out of worse! 
<GMStoren> Niki punches a guard, but another recovers and sends her teetering a bit.
<Roric> «ooc: Eh, just jump. It's soM. »
<GMStoren> « yeah ^^ »
<Niki> That didn't work...how about uhh...
<Rachel> << ;)>>
<Cody> Wait...
* Niki points off. "Look an...uhh elephant!"
<Rhiana> Looks like I will get to beat some Pandora butt
* Cody rummages through his pack to find the...FLAMMIE DRUM! :D
* Niki runs off to her little shortcut. ;)
* Rhiana let's loose a vicious fire spell
* Chrys runs up to Rachel and Cody, shaking his head. "I'd say I was sorry, but even if it wasn't a lie, you wouldn't believe me."
<GMStoren> Elmire tries to keep up, but she trips. :/
<GMStoren> [Elmira] Cody.... ;_;
<Rachel> <<Aw ;_;>>
<Cody> «ooc: Now I feel bad! »
* Roric stops to pick up his fallen boomerang, leaping away from the crowd and looking around for the exit Cody and Rachel took.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ;_; »
<Roric> «ooc: It'd be funny if she died and it was all Chrys's fault. »
<Rachel> Time for talk later, Chrys ^^; Now we run like hell.
<Cody> «ooc: Is she in my line of sight? ^^ »
* Chrys nods.
<Cody> «ooc: Elmira, I mean. »
<Roric> Ah, there we go.
* Roric runs up to Rachel.
<GMStoren> Most people find their way to the large balcony overlooking the city. The enforcement is closing in on you though.. ^^
<Roric> Niki's, Rahne and Tori still back there.
<GMStoren> « sort fo Cody.. »
* Niki finds her way to well below the balcony. "HEEEY!!!"
<GMStoren> « but too far.. you're sepearted by lots of people ^^ »
<Rhiana> Get out of my way guards.
* Rachel waits for Cody to use the drum...
<Roric> «ooc: How far a drop is it? »
<GMStoren> Rahne and Tori manage to get outside too.
* Rhiana lashes out with her whip
* Cody looks to the oncoming crowd, "I'm sorry...but I need to do this! I have to finish what I started...So there'll be a Pandora for everyone to go back to!"
<GMStoren> « it's not too far... »
* Cody uses the drum!
<Niki> You better now make him smush me!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: that's what they call "Famous Last Words" ^^; »
<Niki> «ooc: her even! »
<GMStoren> Cody uses the Flammie drum! A wave of air fills the chamber beating some people back as the dragon appears almost instantly! "Rowwwwr!"
<Cody> Everyone! Hop on!
<GMStoren> (And Niki Niki's not crushed.
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Niki> «ooc: Yay! »
<GMStoren> « er gah ^^ »
* Cody does so! Hop hop!
* Rhiana looks up, "They aren't leaving without me."
* Rhiana snaps her whip around Flammie's hind left leg
<GMStoren> [Rahn] Cody! *hops on*
<GMStoren> « darn e :( »
* Chrys hops onto the white dragon, holding on for dear life and muttering to himself. "Hurry up, Rhi! You too, Niki!
<Chrys> "
* Rachel keeps ahold of Cody and leaps onto Flammie, searching the crowd for Rhi and looking relieved as the whip snaps. "Phew.... Niki!"
<Roric> «ooc: Flammie snags on the whip and crashes to the ground! »
* Niki hops up to Flammie claw...moments after Rhiana whips it.
<Roric> «ooc: <Rhiana> Huh. I guess I've put on some weight. »
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! A fat joke not about me....!! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I'm fat in all the right places ;) »
<GMStoren> Tori manges to fire a few warning shots before being the last aboard, just as the ministers arrive.
<Chrys> «ooc: In other words, she's got a fat ass. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ »
* Roric grabs onto Flammie, climbing on her back.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Chrys likes big assed girls? »
<Rachel> Where to!
<GMStoren> [Prime Minister] King Etienne!
<Chrys> «ooc: No. ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Yes. ;) »
* Niki waves to the minister. "Bye bye bald and hairy man. And your fat too! haha!"
<Chrys> «ooc: I'm not sure. ;) »
<Roric> I'm thinking Del Marr.
* Rhiana climbs her whip with what althetic talent she might have
* Cody looks to the Prime Minister, "Please...I have to finish what I started!"
<Rachel> <<Storen! HAVE A KITTEN! :D>>
<GMStoren> They don't get a chance before Flammie immediately departs...
<Chrys> ...Southtown. Or the Lost Continent. We need to get moving.
<GMStoren> [Phanna] Cody... -_-
<Niki> «ooc: Rhiana is dangling on her whip? :o »
<Roric> No, we...whoa! We've got some stuff to cover first here.
<Cody> Whoa!
<Roric> No more beasties yet.
* Rhiana yells from below, "Wherever it is, let's land first! This isn't healthy for me!"
<Chrys> ...
* Rachel closes her eyes against the wind and smiles widely..
<GMStoren> Rhiana climbs up on her whip, and Flammie helps Niki up top. ^^
* Niki looks down. "Want some help?"
<Rhiana> That would be lovely Niki
* Chrys sighs, reaching out behind him for Rhiana, holding a tuft of Flammie's fur.
* Roric throws a gold-embossed comb and brush set at the minister.

<Cody> ...Thanks Rachel...Everyone... ^^
* Niki grabs the whip and pulls Rhiana up.
<GMStoren> « a comb Roric? ^^ »
<Roric> OK, we got some talking to do while we're here.
* Rhiana catches her breath after getting on Flammie, "*pant* Thanks Niki..."
<Chrys> ...Cody, don't bring me into this. I didn't do anything worth your thanks.
<Roric> Chrys, that was stupid, but Cody, it was stupid of YOU to go in th'first place.
<Roric> We got more important stuff goin' on.
<Niki> No problem. ^^
* Rachel doesn't say anything, just staying quiet. ^^
<Cody> I didn't have much choice. I tried to tell them I couldn't from the beginning...but it's moot at this point...
* Chrys nods. "Yes, you and Rhiana like to remind me of that every five seconds. I know it was stupid."
<Chrys> .oO(But in an odd way, it was kinda theraputic. I should lose my temper like that more often.)
<Roric> Cody, it woulda been a hell of a lot easier to ditch them BEFORE COMING TO PANDORA, so don't tell me ya don't 'ave a choice.
<GMStoren> The comb set lands in Phanna's confused hands. In another moment, the golden crown of pandora clatters to the castle floor... the last remantn of the group as they disappear from sight.
* Rhiana raises an eyebrow, "Stop doing stupid things. We all agreed this was a waste of time, but we don't need you doing things to make them even bigger wastes of time.
* Chrys nods, rolling his eyes.
* Cody sighs.
<Niki> ANYWAYS!  Since were all on Flammie...lets go kick another monsters butt! :D
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Whew... clear sailing again...
<Roric> Now I'm gonna stop talkin' before I get bugs in me mouth.
* Rhiana nods to Roric, "I hope this is the last time we have to do this."
* Rachel reaches out to lightly grasp Cody's hand as it holds onto Flammie, her gaze still on the sky...
* Cody smiles and squeezes that hand. :)
<Rachel> <<I'm done for whenever you wanna finish...oh god brb.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Ditto here. »
<Roric> «ooc: cramps? »
<Cody> «ooc: ditto ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Sick? »
<Niki> «ooc: Where are we headed to? »
* Chrys sighs and buries his face in Flammie's fur, trying to think things out.
<GMStoren> « as you can probably guess I'm tires as well.. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Del Marr? »
<Roric> «ooc: Hopefully, NOT another god beast, because I STILL have to wear the Exposition Hat »
<GMStoren> « tired »
<Rhiana> So where are we going
<Roric> «ooc: session end! »
<GMStoren> « actually rachel knows where you're off to ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Where? »
<Cody> Rachel...where are we going to?
<Niki> Yeah, I wanna know where too.
<Roric> «ooc: Does cody know rachel knows? »
<Cody> «ooc: No. She's the leader ^_^ »
<GMStoren> Flammie circles once, high in the midday sky.
<Cody> «ooc: Always ask the leader PERSON »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Technically ;) »
* Niki taps Cody's shoulder.

<Niki> I just thought of something...
* Cody turns around, "Yeah? ^^:
<Niki> Where's Joch? ^_^
<Cody> Hiding under my cloak, I think. He doesn't like flying ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: >> Back at the inn Joch sits in Niki's chair, looking at a glass of milk. "Kweh." »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Roric> Ever hear of Pandora Fried Chocobo? »
<GMStoren> The chocobo makes a muffed wark from Cody's blue cloak.
<Niki> Aww, I was gonna feed him.
<Roric> «ooc: Wait, why did Cody take Joch to the royal ball in his clothes? »
<GMStoren> « he's the royal amscot! »
<Cody> «ooc: Because. ^^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: He wanted a loyal companion? :o »
<Rhiana> I'd like to know where we're going.
<Roric> «ooc: Nothing happens just because. :P »
<Roric> «ooc: Elmira: Cody, why are your pants moving? »
<Niki> «ooc: now now Storen...we agreed to call Joch the Mana Knight's pet. ;) »
<GMStoren> « give rache a minute... ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Cody: I'm, uh, just nervous. »
<Cody> «ooc: Honestly, because Cody didn't wanna leave him behind. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: But in his CLOTHES? ^_~! »
<Cody> «ooc: He always hides under Cody's shawl. ^^ Cloak. shawl, same deal ^^ »
<GMStoren> « speaking fo which thanks for reminding me of something ^_^ »
<Rachel> <<Er. Back?>>
<GMStoren> « rachel, crae to explain your plan for a second? ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ »
<Rachel> <<First we're going to open a Subway system, effectively putting those damn hairy munchkins out of business...and...KITTEN! :D>>
<Cody> «ooc: Uh?! »
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Kitten :O »
<Roric> «ooc: ... »
<Roric> «ooc: Ehehe. »
<Chrys> «ooc: You do not understand the cuteness of KITTEN »
<Cody> «ooc: KITTEN »
<Niki> «ooc: Can we at least drop a house on the Wicked Witch of the East again? »
* Rachel clears her throat. "Kakkara."
<Roric> «ooc: *shoots Rachel with his High Velocity Kitten Gun* »
<Roric> ...
<Roric> Good plan.
* Chrys tenses visibly. "Kakkara?!"
<Rhiana> Lovely..the desert...
<Rachel> Southwest of Tasnica.
<Rachel> the Fire godbeast.
<Rhiana> Gonna be murder on my skin
<Roric> ...
<Roric> No, Rachel.
<Rachel> What do you mean?
<Cody> Why not, Roric?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well we don't know if he's emerged from the Volcano or not yet...
<Roric> Oh, man. It's a long story. Set down somewhere and I'll tell you aaaaaall about it.
* Rachel sighs. ^^;
<Rhiana> A safe haven would be nice
<Niki> Can't we ask people about the volcano?
<Chrys> ...Why not set down in Kakkara? Stay until everything's explained. -_-
<Rachel> Yes. ^^;
<Roric> Sure, fine.
<Chrys> That way everyone's happy.
<Roric> Somewhere where I can get a cold beer.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Sure can, plus those pandoran freaks wouldn't look in the desert!
<Cody> ^^; That way I can change out of these starchy clothes...
<Rhiana> I'll need to find some sun tan oil.
* Rachel quietly orders Flammie to Kakkara...
<Chrys> .oO(That way I can...no, don't think about that.)
<Rhiana> «ooc: Gee, I wonder if Chrys is gonna leave the party...again ;) »
<Niki> I can go in those nifty baths again like last time. :D
<Rachel> We'll probably have to stay the night, though.....it's already getting dark...
<Rachel> <<OH GOD THE HOT SPRINGS>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Not for more than a few hours ;P Chrys isn't leaving for several sessions in a row. No Tahn-ness. »
* Rhiana nods, "Whatever you want..as long as we're still taking care of what needs to be done..."
<Rachel> Of course.
<Niki> «ooc: Yeah, you always complain that my characters leave the party once per game. Well Tahn for you more then makes up for that for you. ;) I'd say were even. »
<GMStoren> Flammie hears the name in her large furry ears and makes a course northwest for thedesert lands, passing over the forests of the upperland. In the distance a haze seems to fill your view, a red glow visible even from the sky... awaiting and calling to you at the same time. perhaps a change of pace truly is in order from the rigors of royalty. ^_^;
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION END ~~
<Cody> ^_^ Wee!
