<Roric> «ooc: <Ellena> I wanna say that you need to love your intestines. <Ellena> Because when they hurt, you didn't love them enough. <Ellena> I love my intestines now :D That's why I hope they'll never hurt me AGAIN! >:| »
<GMStoren> « hope everyone's paying resonable attention. :) »
<Roric> «ooc: Whew, I'm glad I put an OOC on that. »
<Cody> «ooc: DAMN FUCKING RIGHT »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Rahne> << Reasonable attention. ^^ >>
<Roric> «ooc: I'm paying unreasonable attention. »
<Chrys> «ooc: I'm paying reasonable att...OOH LOOK A QUARTER »
<GMStoren> The sun rises upon the dunes of Kakkara, bringing with it an even hotter day in the desert town than usual... as well as a sonic boom as a certain white dragon arrives with rachel and Cody aborad it, near the inn where everyone is staying. ^^
<Rachel> <<Heheheheheh...pretty pretty melting lights...>>
<GMStoren> « I'll let you two go inside alone first okay? ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ I was away! But you didn't know it! hahah! »
<GMStoren> A couple of the people eep and one woman drops her bundle of fruits in the market, while another man's turban is blown off. :o

<GMStoren> A couple of the people eep and one woman drops her bundle of fruits in the market, while another man's turban is blown off. :o
<Roric> * Chrys grumbles and stuffs his head between the pillows as he hears Flammie pulling a landing.
<Roric> «ooc: You missed that. »
<Roric> «ooc: YOU KNOCKED OVER HER BUNDLE YOU BASTARD »
<GMStoren> Flammie comes to a halt in front of the door, lowering her head so they can depart.
<Cody> «ooc: ;_; »
<Cody> ^^; Thank you, Flammie.
* Cody yawns and hops off gently.
* Rachel slides herself off Flammie, running a hand through her hair.. "Yeah, thanks girl..."
* Rachel looks amusedly at Cody and trots to the door, bowing faintly. "After you. Just don't fall asleep during breakfast."
<Cody> ^^; So long as they have hot tea, I should be okay...
<Roric> «ooc: super hot tea »
<GMStoren> You notice as you debark the sky has not lost it's reddish hue... there's also something slowly heading towards the village, reflecting the sunlight.
<Cody> ...Rachel?
<Rachel> ...yeah?
* Cody points up to the sky, "...Is that...?"
<GMStoren> « Rachel and Cody would have seen it from the air... it's an airship.. presumably from tasnica. :) »
* Rachel looks up and raises both eyebrows.. "...airship. Let's go round up the others."
<Cody> Right...
* Rachel pushes her way inside of the Inn...
* Cody follows behind her quietly.
* Roric is leaning back precariously in his seat, feet crossed on the table and straw hat covering his face.
* Rachel waves a little to Roric, slipping herself down into a seat near to him. "An airship is coming...from the direction of Tasnica....it'll be a while getting here yet, but..."
* Roric is silent.
* Rachel reaches out to tug Roric's hat from his face.
* Roric has his eyes closed.
* Cody quietly waits by the door.
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: Roric...? Hey.... *Roric bites her hand!* Rachel: ...OWWW! »
<Roric> «ooc: ...eh? »
* Rachel glances at Cody. "Gonna take a seat, stud, or do you feel more steady standing?"
<Cody> «ooc: ... ;_; I see Roric as a wild, untamed beast type. :o »
<Roric> «ooc: ...thou! »
<Cody> «ooc: Yes!! »
* Rachel reaches out and flicks Roric on the nose gently. "Hey."
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Cody> ^^; Er...sorry...
* Cody sits down quickly.
* Roric reaches up abruptly and grabs Rachel's nose, holding it for a moment before slipping his hand away.
*** Cody is now known as Cody-away
* Cody-away is gone (^^ BRB.)
* Roric slips his thumb betweewn his index and middle fingers. "Got yer nose."
<GMStoren> Emerald appears on top of Roric's head, giggling slightly.
* Rachel blinks and chuckles a little. "Nice..."
<GMStoren> [Emerald] I thought you two would never get back. ^^
* Roric opens his eyes. "Yeah, what was up with that? You blokes woke me up."
<Rachel> Sorry to have kept you waiting, partner....and we just took a little stress relieving joyride, that's all, Ror.. ^^; 
* Cody-away is back (^^) (gone: 1min 58secs))
*** Cody-away is now known as Cody
* Cody nods a little bit, looking around the room for some nice, hot tea. ^^ Preferebly without any poison in it.
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well it did the trick... your spirits are shining brightly now.... and we need happy healthy heroes. ;)
<Roric> Nnh. 'Ave a care, you mates can't 'andle a beastie on yer own. *tilts his head to get Emerald off, then pushes backwards, tipping the chair onto its back. He lies there for a moment, feet sticking up into the air, before flipping into a crouch.
<Roric> *
<GMStoren> Emerald starts fluttering as her perch drops from under her.
<Roric> «ooc: Emerald and Rayle should get together. »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Okay, so we were a LITTLE worried.
* Cody looks a bit guilty, "Sorry..."
* Rachel doesn't apologize but averts her gaze, dragging a fingernail across the wood of the table.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] So, you guys see what's been going on?
<Roric> Ah, no worries. I feel too good ta be grouchy today. Though I think it's just that I felt like shit yesserday.
<GMStoren> Cody finds the bar is more than happy to give him some tea, since it's stillc atering to breakfast.
* Rachel looks up at Emerald curiously.
* Cody grabs some HOT tea and adds a bit of cream and sugar to it, slowly sipping. ^^
<GMStoren> [Emerald] I can't believe Tasnica's got airships going on.. I haven't seen one since the Mana Empire. Time flies, doesn't it?
<Roric> T'eh. Ain't no way yer gonna get me on one o' them things, tho'.
<Rachel> I don't know...it sounds like a blast...
<Roric> I only like bein' up 'igh if I got somethin' ta stand on.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Haha.. well honestly I don't trust them anymore than you do. Plus that thing is so primitive... but I do know why it's en route here.

<GMStoren> « wb :0 »
<Rhiana> «ooc: God, if I knew it was gonna be a chore, I wouldna waited to do it :P »
* Chrys stumbles over himself down the stairs, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes just slowly enough to trip over the second to last stair and land flat on his face. "Ow, dammit! What is this, divine retribution?"
<Roric> Yeah, word o' Niki's amazing soft-shoe routine's really spreadin'.
<GMStoren> « you missed very little.. cody 7 Rache got back, and an airship has been spotted approaching slowly from tasniac airspace ^^ »

<Rachel> <<Not funny. ^^;; Bad bad bad bulimia jokes.>>
<Roric> «ooc: Well, this is Rhiana. :P »
<GMStoren> « okay, what did I miss after Roric's quip about Niki? »
<Niki> «ooc: She really shouldn't keep saying she's away. I mean if she doesn't respond we'll know where she is. »
<Roric> «ooc: Besides, we make murder jokes, and you wrote Deepesthurt. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: *taps his foot* »
<Roric> «ooc: Someone else handling the recap? »
<Roric> «ooc: Or should I? »
<GMStoren> « I got it. »
<Rachel> <<Rape is different from bulimia...but screw it. Who cares. ^^;>>
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well, I think the gemma Knights in Tasnica know about Xan Bie's current state and they are going to go strike him first...
<Roric> «ooc: Do we know who Zanby is? »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] But I really doubt carpet bombing the volcano & the Godbeast is going to do much good, other than buy them some time.
<Rachel> And us some time. 
<Roric> Time is good. Right now all we've got is time.
* Cody-away is back (gone: 5mins)
*** Cody-away is now known as Cody
<GMStoren> « Xan Bie is fire guy :) »
* Chrys walks back, chewing a muffin. "Time and to a slight extent power..."
<Cody> «ooc: Are you saying I have bulliema? :/ »
<Roric> Anyhow...looks we got 'round 'alf o' us 'ere...we're still missin' Rahne, Tori, Rhi, and the kitten.
<Cody> «ooc: jerk! :( »
<Roric> «ooc: ...uh. »
<Roric> «ooc: No. :P »
<Cody> «ooc: ...kay »
* Rahne continues to sleep upstairs, exhausted.. *
<Chrys> The "kitten", Ror'?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well, we've got time yes... but I'm still bugged about something.
<Roric> Bitch kitten. Niki.
<Roric> Bugged
<Roric> ?
<Chrys> ...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Yeah, I sense Meira's energy nearby. That can't be good.
<Cody> ...She's probably after the Fire God Beast, right?
<Roric> Hmm.
* Chrys shakes his head, taking another bite out of his muffin. "So she trailed us. Figures. We're the quickest way she has to those god beasts."
<Niki> «ooc: I should be at the hot springs. >;) »
<Roric> Well, she can zot 'round pretty much at will, so there ain't much we can do 'bout it.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Maybe she actually meant it about taking on a godbeast...?
<Chrys> What, Em? O_o;
<Roric> Eh, I won't be cryin 'oever dies.
<Roric> No love lost on Meira.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Finally done..gah »
* Cody looks down at the table for a moment...
<GMStoren> Emerald responds to the inquiry by turning herself into an illusionary Meira, only looking very silly and puffed up. "Next time we meet, I'll show you I can beat a Godbeast... and a whole lot more!"
<Chrys> Yeah, Ror, but if she wipes out the godbeast... then she gets the trophy, so to speak.
* Rachel snickers at Emerald..
<GMStoren> She soon returns to her normal state.
<Roric> And if we do it, she still does. We can't count on Cody doin' 'is trick yet. Anyhow, that's what I gotta get inta when we get everyone together.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] *bow* No autographs please...
<Cody> ...
* Rachel shakes her head and waits for the others to arrive, glancing at Cody curiously.
<Cody> . o O ( Am I the only one who feels even a twinge of pity for Meria anymore...? )
<Cody> «ooc: Yes you dumbsoftfuck. Hee. Anyway! »
<Roric> We might 'afta go out an find Rhi.
<Roric> I think Tori's still around somewheres.
<Chrys> I think Rahne's up in bed still...
<Rachel> Probably...and Niki is also likely causing some mischief...
<Roric> Niki? Never much of an early riser.
<Roric> But, ya never know.
<Cody> I could wake Rahne up...
* Roric scratches his head.
<Roric> Well...
<Niki> «ooc: <Cody> With a lap dance. »
<Cody> «ooc: Hell no! Rachel would decapitate me! »
<Roric> It might be good ta get outta 'ere before that airship gets ta th' volcano.
<Roric> Things're gonna get kinda 'ot.
<Niki> «ooc: Naw. She'd ask to join. ;) »
<Rachel> <<Dude, that would wake anyone up. Hell, Cody, lemme go to sleep so you can 'wake me up' then too ;)>>
<Niki> «ooc: SEE! »
<Cody> «ooc: He might if he's drunk enough! »
<Rachel> Yeah...fair enough.
<Niki> «ooc: he? »
<Roric> «ooc: Nah, he wouldn't. »
<Cody> ^^; I'll be right back.
* Cody pushes his chair in and runs upstairs to wake anyone up that may still be sleeping. ^^;
<GMStoren> « besides rahne who is here? :) »
<Roric> «ooc: Cody returns with Rahne, Niki, and 23 grouchy NPCs. »
* Rachel rubs her forehead a little and considers the coming trouble...
<Niki> «ooc: No wonder Storen was having problems with NPC's earlier. »
<GMStoren> « lol, if Cody doesn't wake them up, i'm sure something else will ^^ »
<Tori> <<Tori is still in his room and probably is going to be unresponsive to just a knock on the door ^^;>>
<Niki> «ooc: I'm pondering if Niki went to the hot springs or not. :D »
<Roric> «ooc: That's OK, we've all had extensive ToD training in waking up PCs. »
<Roric> «ooc: ...mostly Keynes. »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Don't look so down Rachel...
* Chrys sighs and looks at the cieling. "You think we can handle this, guys?"
<Niki> «ooc: HEY! He wasn't sleeping...he was unconscious! »
<Roric> «ooc: He sleeps a lot, though. :P »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] We've been through worse together, right? ^_^
<Roric> Frankly, Chrys? No.
<Roric> I'm amazed we ain't dead yet, and I'm sure we will be soon.
<Niki> «ooc: <Party> I'll wake him up! What you? No I will! *they all run towards Keynes and chop off various limbs.* »
* Rachel blinks and grins wryly at Emerald. "Yeah..."
<Roric> But I've decided that when everything's goin' ta shit, that's a weak reason not ta do it.
<Chrys> So what do we do, Ror? I know we aren't just gonna roll over and die.. so how are we gonna fight against this thing?
* Rachel then glances at Ror and Chrys.
<Roric> Meira's got the right idea, actually. We need ta get the essences o' the eight God Beasts.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Yay..all that for a damn desktop theme ... »
<Roric> But...that's a long story.
<Rhiana> «ooc: But it works now :P »
<Cody> «ooc: Sorry. Back ^ »
* Cody makes it to Rahne's room and gently knocks on the door.
<Chrys> Well, that means we gotta figure out if Cody's little sword thing consistently will -work-. If so, we actually have a snowball's chance.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] You still haven't told me everything Luka said yet either. That old girl can hide secrets even from me...
* Rahne takes in a deep breath, opening her eyes slowly.. * ..Hmm...?
<Roric> And I won't be tellin' you it all, either, yet. Can't with Meira 'angin' around, maybe spyin' on us. 
* Rahne rolls over and sits up.. * ..Yes..?
<Rachel> Cryptic. 
<Cody> It's me...It's time to wake up... ^^; Everyone is waiting downstairs...
<Roric> Not my idea.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] I assure you Meira's not nearby. I could at least tell you that.
* Roric shakes his head. "I ain't takin' any chances."
<Chrys> Make up your mind, Em! You said she was here, and now she's not... ^^;
<GMStoren> [Emerald] She's in the area, but if she was on top of us I'd be running for cover!
* Rachel bites into her bottom lip.
* Rahne rubs her eyes, and lets loose a deep yawn.. * Oh.. okay..
<Chrys> Ror's got a point then. If she's in the area, there's a chance she could still listen in.
<Roric> She ain't interested in fightin' us yet. Not till she has to.
<Roric> «ooc: BRB »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well that's painfully obvious.. that and she wants Cody...
<Cody> Sorry to wake you up... ^^;
* Chrys grumbles to himself. "Who doesn't nowdays?"
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Course not that I blame anyone for wanting him. Heehee.
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! The love squiggle turns into goo cuz Emerald wants me! :O~~...okay maybe not. »
* Rachel rolls her eyes. ^^;
<Rachel> <<Threesome!>>
<GMStoren> [Emerald] But she doesn't want to wine and dine him, she wants the Mana Pendant. Maybe she even wants his gemma spirit on top of it... ^^
* Rahne quickly throws on a robe, concealing herself as best she can before opening the door; she blinks at Cody. * Oh.. no, don't be. I guess I shouldn't have rolled back over again after that loud boom.. ^^;
<Cody> ^^; Er...actually...that was us. Sorry. ^^;
<Rachel> Well...she'll have to deal with us first....we'll figure something out as soon as the others decide to grace us with their presences.. ^^;
<Rahne> ..I see..  * sighs* And no, don't be sorry, Cody..  if you hadn't knocked, or if you hadn't made the noise, then I would have still been sleeping either way..
* Rahne grins sheepishly, and scratches behind an ear.. *
<Cody> All right. ^^; I better go wake up Tori, then I'll meet you downstairs, right? :)
<GMStoren> Emerald nods in agreement, and waits for everyone.
<Roric> «ooc: What about Niki? »
*** Rachel (Eternal@n104h177.thezone.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
* Rahne nods again, another yawn escaping followed by another silly smile. * Okay..
<GMStoren> « did Niki in fact go to springs? »
<Cody> ^^ Okay.
<Roric> «ooc: Wow, Rahne is totally stoned. »
<Niki> «ooc: Yes. :D »
* Cody runs to where Tori's room is and knocks, "Tori? Everyone is waiting downstairs..."
<GMStoren> « ooh good. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: But does Cody KNOW that? »
<Roric> «ooc: Actually...does anyone know where she and Rhi are? »
* Rahne 's tail wags momentarily, battling against the confines of her robe as she wanders back into her room to get dressed.. *
<Cody> «ooc: Tori prolly because the guys rooms may be close. Niki and RHi he doesn't know »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I don't even know where Rhiana is right now :O »
* Tori shifts around quietly within, just loud enough that Cody knows for sure someone is in there.
*** Rachel (Eternal@mtw202.nf.sympatico.ca) has joined #pureland
<Cody> Tori, when you're ready, can you please meet us downstairs? Roric needs to see us...
*** GMStoren sets mode: +o Rachel
* Cody opens the door a little, not hearing a response right away.
* Tori is sitting in the dark, among what looks like ground zero of a localized tornado. The dresser and night stand have been thrown across the room and the drawers for both are in various states of wreckage. The matresses have also been disembowled and thrown around.
<GMStoren> « eep o_O »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Ah ha! Tori's past is revealed! He's an interior dectorator! »
<Roric> «ooc: Tori is a grunge band. :P »
* Cody blinks...and blinks again, "Uh...."
<Chrys> «ooc: Tori is my mother »
* Tori sits silently on the wreckage of a less damaged mattress, almost in a trance, staring at the one unbroken item in the room: A mirror.
<Rhiana> «ooc: No 7 years bad luck for Tori, no sir »
<Cody> T...Tori?
<Niki> «ooc: <Tori> Be back later. I'm going to home depot to buy yet another saw. »
<Cody> «ooc: Take me passionately in your ARMS OH GOD! :O~~~ »
<Roric> «ooc: Niki: Enh? »
* Tori shakes his head and blinks a few times.
<Roric> «ooc: Cody: Enh? »
<Niki> «ooc: Ash knows. »
<Tori> Hm? What?
<GMStoren> « And here we see Angstus maximus in it's natural habitat... »
<Cody> «ooc: ...Roric, I told Tori this, but if Cody was a female (really) she'd be ALL OVER HIm. He's sexy! »
<Roric> «ooc: That's Chrys. Tori just seethes. »
<Cody> Er...everyone is waiting for you downstairs...
*** Windstar (mikemccart@cs242734-20.austin.rr.com) has joined #pureland
<Tori> Oh.
<Tori> Right.
<Cody> ^^; Kay great. Glad you understand. Kay bye! ^^;
* Tori gets up and walks past Cody as if nothings strange.
* Cody 's feet stay there, and he looks at Tori in awe.
<Cody> ...We broke Niki...and now we broke him even more. -_-;
<Rachel> <<lol>>
* Cody heads downstairs.
<Roric> «ooc: Niki was defective when she left the store. :P »
<GMStoren> « did you check Niki's place though? »
<Cody> «ooc: No. ^^ He doesn't know where Niki or Rhiana's rooms are. ;_; »
<Chrys> «ooc: No, Ror, Chrys was the defective one. Niki broke when she was in her original packaging »
<Cody> «ooc: ...and more like I neeed to go again. ^^ BRB »
<GMStoren> « oh ^^ »
<GMStoren> « have rahne and tori arrived downstairs yet? :o »
* Roric eyes the descending troupe. "No Niki?"
<Rahne> << Not yet, though I suppose Rahne would be ready to descend now. ^^;; >>
* Tori takes a seat at the table. "Is she missing?"
<Roric> She might still be asleep. Dunno.
<Roric> «ooc: Gotta wait for Cody to respond, I guess. ^_^ »
<Rachel> Hmm...
* Rahne quietly makes her way down the stairs, carefully surveying the group and trying to ascertain the general mood. *
* Niki walks into the inn from the outside, a towel draped over her shoulder. As she steps through the door frame, she turns her head back. "Woo, that was the best. I should live here or something so I can go there everyday." :D
<Roric> «ooc: >> The mood stone glows RED! »
* Chrys watches Rahne, a speck of despair in his eyes and then sweatdrops as Niki comes in. "Well, there SHE is."
<Roric> Um.
* Roric blinks. "Okay."
<GMStoren> As Niki walks in she follwoed by a small tanned skin boy. ^_^
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Roric> Good timing. Did ya 'appen ta see Rhiana?
<GMStoren> [Dan] Hi again!
<Roric> «ooc: <Rachel> Niki, who's that? »
<Niki> No, just Dan.
<Roric> «ooc: <Niki> This is my husband! »
<Rachel> <<lol, wtf>>
<Roric> Dan, dan...oh, right. 'Ey.
* Roric waves unenthusiastically, but grins.
<GMStoren> [Dan] me and Niki got to hang out in the springs... my mom's sooo cool. ^_^
* Rachel chuckles lowly and murmurs something about the springs seeing a lot of action.
<GMStoren> Emerald catches Rachel's comment, and her green aura flickers in response.

<GMStoren> « Is not. »
<Roric> «ooc: Well, it's thicker. »
<Roric> «ooc: Though yours is ribbed. »
<GMStoren> « for her pelasure. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: ...*blushes* »
<Roric> «ooc: O_o »
<GMStoren> « okay, first did I miss any actions? »
<Rachel> <<What the hell.>>
<Cody> «ooc: That was meant to make you O_o ^^ »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Okay, stop this convo before I bloodily murder you all ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Uhh, I don't think so. »
<GMStoren> [Dan] There's like Sandships and flying things and everything. And I thought those buggies we have were neat!
<Chrys> .........
* Chrys mutters under his breath.
<Cody> «ooc: Why Dan, you're sure lively today! ...Like you are every day! And the last time I made this ref. You lively boy! »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] ^^;
<Roric> Sanships, eh? Hm.
* Cody finally makes it downstairs, and pulls up a chair next to some random person ^^;
* Rachel rubs her forehead again, feeling a bit lagged out from the wine she consumed, and listens to the chatter of Dan the Prozac Boy.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] So what are we going to do, gang? It's either let em bomb the heck out of the place, or try to beat them there...
* Cody passes Rachel some of the tea. :)
<Roric> Aren't they just intending to bomb the God Beast?
<Chrys> And risk getting bombed ourselves? Em, I'd rather NOT rush my own death, thanks.
* Rachel blinks a little and accepts the tea with a faint smile towards Cody, quietly drinking it and taking in everyone's opinions.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well it's possible Meira could be there taking it on and beat everyone to it you know.
<Roric> We should avoid messing with the Fire Beast if we can avoid it.
<Chrys> Roric has a point. There's no guaruntee that what Cody did in Pandora wasn't just a lucky stroke of fate. Besides, I'd rather not deal with kittygirl right now.
<Rachel> Ror....are you going to give us your talk now?
<Roric> ...well, Rhi ain't around, but I guess most's bettern' none.
<Rachel> <<Or did he already? I lost it with the mad disconnectionz. :o>>
<Roric> OK.
<Roric> 'Ere's 'ow it goes
<GMStoren> « he didn't no. »
<GMStoren> « Rhiana should be here to hear this btw... ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: But she isn't. Tough noogies. »
<GMStoren> « assuming she's doing her disapping act :) »
<Roric> «ooc: :P »
<GMStoren> « please go on :p »
<Roric> The short form is that we need to fight the Moon an' Plant beasts next, then Light.
<Roric> It's the why that's complicated.
* Rachel tilts her head, curious.
<Chrys> ...Why? Because those are the places in the most danger. Right?
<Roric> Not hardly. Right now, the biggest priority is getting rid of Meira.
<Roric> See...nnh. OK, 'ere's 'ow it is.
<Roric> Meira 'as two things goin' for 'er. She 'as the ability to protect 'erself by givin' enemies bad luck, an' she 'as that orb. 
<Cody> Orb...? The red globe thing she holds...?
<Roric> Right.
<Roric> That's 'ow she's suckin' up the beast auras.
<Chrys> Kinda like Cody's pendant, but more..uh, chaotic, right?
<Rahne> So then, is there any way to seperate her from it...?
<Roric> *nods at Chrys* More than you know. But that's not important right now.
<Roric> That's just it, Rahne. We need ta do that.
* Chrys nods at Rahne's question. "You have no idea how, do you Ror?"
<Roric> ...sorta.
<Roric> We're gonna 'afta fight 'er first, possibly kill 'er.
<Roric> She knows that if she loses the orb, she's done.
<Roric> We can't fight 'er right now, though, 'coz o' the problem with the bad luck.
<Rahne> Won't she just run?  She's pretty flighty as is..  
<Roric> We'll work that out when the time comes, Rahne.
* Rachel furrows her brow..
<Rahne> << We must use our Intensified Luck Soldiers! >>
<GMStoren> Emerald seems to come to a slow realizationa s Roric speaks, looking deep in thought.
<Chrys> So in other words, Roric, we're just gonna putz around and figure out what to do -after- we get our asses handed to us.
* Chrys grumbles.
<Roric> Right, Chrys. Stick with it, it's a better plan than you've got. Any'ow. We need ta free the spirits o' Dryad an' Luna first. They can negate her probability powers for at least long enough ta kill 'er...and we may 'afta kill 'er, as they can't keep 'er down forever.
<Rachel> ...hm.
<Chrys> .oO(It's the SAME plan I've got. :P)
<Roric> Now.
* Rachel sighs a little and pushes what's left of her tea aside, leaning back in her chair to rub her neck..
<GMStoren> [Emerald] ...that orb...
<Roric> The God Beasts can't really be killed, even by Meira. All she's done is trap 'em, like our ancestors did. They can be trapped in either her orb, or Cody's pendant.
* Rachel glances at Emerald curiously.
<Chrys> So either she's getting them or we are. It's just she knows how to use them for her own purposes, Ror?
<Cody> Why my pendant? I mean...isn't it just...?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] If it can trap Godbeasts like a seed, or like the Pendant...
* Roric nods.
<Roric> It's essentially the same thing as they are.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] ...holy hell, that can't be!
<Roric> I hate it when people say that.
<Chrys> ....Em, what can't it be?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] The only way it could do that is if it was the long lost 10th fragment of the mana Stone. o_O
*** Chris|Movie (Cwizard59@ACB6127F.ipt.aol.com) has joined #pureland
<Roric> Yeah, it is. So let's get going, eh?
<Roric> We gotta find Rhi.
* Rachel raises an eyebrow.
<Cody> Long lost fragment...
<Chrys> ...
<Chrys> Goooood for it.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Cody, to make a long story short each Mana Seed is a part of the thing that all of chaos was sealed into when the Goddess made the world.
<Roric> OK, real quick like. The pendant an' the seeds were all part o' this big mana thingy. Then it broke apart, and the orb is a piece too. Enough 'istory.
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Chrys> ...Ror, any clues as to where Rhi is?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Your Mana pendant is the 9th piece, the one that represents the Spirit...
<Roric> Fuck if I know. We'll look around a bit.
<Cody> ...Really...? Wow... ^^;
<GMStoren> [Emerald] But that means... meira has somehow found the Seed of Chaos.
<Roric> You're thinkin' too 'ard about it, fairy. Let's just go.
* Chrys nods. "Come on, Ror. I get the drift of this. I'll help you look if the others won't."
<Rahne> It's moot now..  the issue is just seperating it from her..
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Damn.. if she put it back together, she's going to free Entropy in order to kill her... ^^;
<Cody> . o O ( Guess there was no Godbeast of Spirit. Thank god. That'd be very odd if something burst out from my pendant or something. Would be something out of a horror novel. Ick. O_o )
* Roric grabs his hat, donning it as he heads for the door.
* Niki wanders off to the kitchen, not knowing a thing of whats being said. "Forget this...I'm hungry. Huh? We're leaving now?"
<Rachel> <<....are you being foreboding, Cody? ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: ...HAHAHAHAHA. Er, no actually. »
<Cody> «ooc: Honest to god. :) »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Roric, do y... hey Roric wait up!
* Chrys follows after Roric, intent on fixing what he's screwed up recently.
<Cody> «ooc: Although it'd be EVER SO CUTE TO HAVE AN ALIEN GODBEAST BURST FORTH FROM HIS MANLY CHEST WITH  BLOOD GUTS AND GORE!! »
* Roric leaves the Inn, Chrys and Emerald close behind.
<Cody> «ooc: But no foreboding, no :) »
<Rachel> <<....>>
<Roric> (m) Incidentally...
<Chrys> Hm, Ror?
* Rachel doesn't move for a moment before standing up. "Geez, what's the hurry? You'd think the world was ending."
* Cody gets up quickly and follows Roric.
<Rachel> Oh wait, it just may be, ha ha ha.
* Chrys walks up next to him, looking more serious than he has in a while
* Rachel follows Cody.
<GMStoren> [Dan] The world's ending? but then I couldn't play with my friends anymore. :(
<Rachel> <<...LOL>>
<Roric> (m) When the Plant Godbeast is sealed, either Meira or we will absorb its essence, which will basically kill Niki's friend. Dryad will, I think, be able to reconstitute her once everything's settled, but you ought to know beforehand.
* Niki also heads for the door, but stops to look at dan. "Wanna come?"
<Rachel> <<As I inspire angst in little kids!>>
<Cody> «ooc: You're so fucking cool, Rachel! ;_; »
<Cody> «ooc: Bwah. Weird mood ;_; »
<GMStoren> [Dan] Well i'd like too, but I'm kind of grounded. :/
<Niki> Haha...what did you do?
<Roric> «ooc: Dan should join and be more powerful than all of us. »
<Chrys> (m) I know. That's part of what I'm afraid of. Niki's more fragile than tissue paper, mentally.
<Cody> «ooc: He's LUCKY dan »
<Roric> We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
<Roric> Anyhow...
<Cody> ...
<GMStoren> [Dan] Mom said after i rode that buggy I can't leave the town until i clean my room. And I didn't clean my room yet! ^^;
* Rhiana is seated outside on a bench across the street. She's wearing her hair down today, which is odd for her. She has her eyes closed and has an emotionless look on her face.
<Rahne> << * Hands Dan an axe... * Now he's "Super Lucky!" >>
<Cody> . o O ( ...Meria and Niki were friends once...If only she could be reasoned with... )
* Roric takes a deep breath. "RHIANA!"
* Chrys nods. "This may not make sense, but we may want to let Meira take that one if possible... I'd much rather Niki hated her than Cod....What the hell? That's Rhi?"
<Niki> Just throw everything in the closet and don't open it ever again.
<Cody> It's okay, Chrys...
* Roric pauses, running into a scary old man in a strange outfit.
<Roric> Er, no.
<Roric> But, you know, she might be around.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] *whispers* I can help Dryad out...
* Roric pats the man on the shoulder. "Uh, sorry. We'll just be, um, goin'."
<Chrys> ...Good. Geez, I was wondering. O_o
<Roric> RHIANA!
* Chrys looks at Roric. "Next time, don't shout her name to senile old men.
<Chrys> "
* Rhiana slowly opens her left eye
* Rachel snickers. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Dan] I'll do that.. you wait here..
<Roric> «ooc: IT IS VERY HOT »
<GMStoren> dan goes running off into town somewhere. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: I AM VERY UGY SHUSH RORIC »
<Niki> Uhh...okay.
<Cody> «ooc: :D »
<Roric> «ooc: Ugy? »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Words that are best left unsaid. »
<GMStoren> « I suggest you don't wait for dan unless you want a bratty kid following you. ^^ »
* Chrys looks around for Rhi, stupidly overlooking the woman who looks JUST LIKE HER but with her hair down. ;P
<Roric> «ooc: A second one, you mean. »
<Cody> Uh...guys...?
<Cody> I think that's her...
<GMStoren> « Oh right! Bus is full. :D »
* Cody points to what he thinks is Rhi ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: <Roric> That's a horse, Cody. »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody: Dammit! ;) »
* Rachel allows the others to run around in circles, crossing her arms over her chest. ^^
* Rahne sighs, and flicks her ears.. the fur not liking the desert sun much.. *
<Roric> «ooc: *Cody points to something else* »
<Roric> «ooc: <Roric> ...that's another horse. »
<GMStoren> Emerald sighs.
<Roric> «ooc: <Roric> Wait, that IS Rhi. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Chrys looks where Cody's pointing. "No, tha...wait, it does look kinda like her. I guess."
* Rhiana opens her right eye
<Cody> «ooc: Rhiana sticks her tounge out! She plays hokey pokey! That's what it's ALLLL ABOUT »
<GMStoren> You can see the strange object in the air is coming closer. The airship seems to be very much like a sailing ship, held aloft by various sets of rudders and propellers, and trailing steam into the cloudless sky.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Well, I didn't think I was that hard to spot. Rhiana IS dressed in skin tight leather :P »
* Rachel reaches out to tap Emerald gently. "Remember that speech you gave me earlier? Reverse that and give it to yourself. It'll be okay."
* Rachel glances upwards at the airship.
<Cody> «ooc: But her haaaaaaaaaaaair! ;_; »
<Chrys> «ooc: chrys is being obtuse. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Is not under her hat ;) »
<Roric> Huh. Oh, hey Rhi.
<Rachel> <<As opposed to acute...>>
<Niki> Man...how long can it take to throw stuff in a closet.  Slow poke.
* Niki walks off.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Heh. Okay. I think I need a time out anyway. *she vanishes into Rachel*
* Rhiana blinks, "Oh, hi. About time you sleepyheads got out of bed."

<Chrys> Why the new 'do, Rhi? Didn't recognize you at first.
<Cody> «ooc: BRB ^^ »
* Rachel blinks repeatedly and rubs the back of her head...
* Rhiana shrugs, "I'm a woman, I always reserve the right to change my mind without reason."
<Roric> We've been plottin'.  Goin' after either the Plant or Moon beasts next, but we need ta get outta 'ere soon as we can.
<Rachel> <<Never told me Em would be PMSing too, Storey! ;)>>

<Rachel> <<mmm. trip.>>
<Roric> «ooc: JESUS IT'S FUCKING HOT »
<Roric> «ooc: BRB »
<GMStoren> « Niki dissed dan. heh. ^^ Anyway, it's all up to you what happens now. »
* Rachel shakes her head slightly. "I take it we'll need Flammie."
<Tori> <<Chrys: Actually, a few days=my own stupidity about not ordering the new computer earlier :P>>
* Rhiana stands up and stretches out her joints
<Chrys> «ooc: Tori, yeah. I'm saying it's a few days, not a month. »
<Rhiana> I do have a suggestion
<Rachel> Mm?
<Rhiana> I'd like to know which mana beasts we're planning on taking on in the near future...like...for certain
<Rhiana> So I know which aspects of my magic to develop.
<Chrys> Plant. Then Moon.
* Rhiana twirls her finger, "And I've been training ice magic."
<GMStoren> You feel a small tremor in the ground beneath your feet. Not enough to do anything destructive, but enough to alarm you.
* Rachel grimaces.
<Rachel> Be right back...
* Rachel dashes back into the Inn.
* Chrys jumps slightly. "You know, if they WEREN'T bombing that damn volcano, then we'd take on the fire beast, Rhi."
* Rhiana shrugs
* Niki watches Rachel dash past her, she spins around a few times.
<Rhiana> I was told we were going to fight the fire beast.
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<GMStoren> You can see a column of smoke rising frome the distance volcanic mountain.
<GMStoren> « er distant »
<Rhiana> So I have been training in ice magic.
* Rahne frowns, and glances out towards the distant smoke pillar.. *
<Cody> ...
* Cody also looks towards the Volcano...
* Niki walks up to everyone.
<GMStoren> « *pushes "tempt PCs" button* »
* Rhiana stretches out some more, "But I guess it doesn't matter. Dunno why I bother sometimes..."
<Chrys> Understandable. We may still. On the other hand, I'd rather not get -killed-, but if we wait too long, then Meira takes over.
<Chrys> So, Rhi.
<Rachel> <<*twiddles her fingers, trying to judge the time it'd take Rache to grab her pack and sword...*>>
<Chrys> You have all the answers, why not give us a few?
<Chrys> «ooc: That was said in a sarcastic tone ^^; »
<Rachel> <<As if we couldn't tell ;)>>
<Roric> I don't think we should take out any beasts we don't absolutely need to until Meira's gone.
<Rhiana> If you want answers, no problem.
<Rhiana> Yes, the world is round.
* Rahne nods in agreement with Roric. *
<Rhiana> The square root of 100 is 10
<GMStoren> « one thing i will tell you is if meira's fighting the beast here, that means you'll have time to get a Beast while she's busy.. but it's a trade off ^^ »
<Rhiana> and Chrys is still a virgin.
* Cody facepalms. ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Hee! »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Roric> «ooc: YOU can tell us that, but it doesn't help our CHARACTERS decide. :P »
<Rachel> <<He's not actually. But anyway ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: He's not? O_O »
* Rachel comes running back, her sword strapped to her hip and pack firmly in place....she waggles the drum at her friends. "If you guys are done your deep conversations....where are we going first?"
<Roric> That's what our deep conversations're about.
<Roric> I say Moon.
* Rhiana places her hat upon her head and looks at Chrys, "So what did you want to ask me?"
<Rachel> Hmm..
<Cody> ...What if Meria can't stop the Fire Beast? Or Tanisca? What then?
<GMStoren> « this'd be a good time for Niki to say "Plant!" Plant!" :D »
<Niki> «ooc: But she's kinda against plant right now. ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: she wandered off. :P »
<Chrys> ...
<Niki> «ooc: No, she walked up to the party. :P »
<Rachel> <<Sigh. ;) Someone give me a reason to protest moon. Emerald?>>
* Chrys looks at Rhiana and sighs. "Never mind. Fire first, then?"
<Roric> I'm against it, Chrys.
<Niki> «ooc: She's against plant cuz Rachel promised she'd find a way to save Flora or jump off a cliff. :D »
<Rachel> <<LOL...shit.>>
* Rhiana shrugs, "I don't really care."
<Chrys> Yeah, but Meira isn't. That's the thing.
<GMStoren> ~Partner, if there's anyway to save Flora, we'd probably be best getting over to the Lost Continent quick-like.~
<Roric> Chrys, if Meira's gonna screw with that thing in the midst of a bombin' with no 'elp, she can do it.
* Cody is lost in thought, pondering what to do.
<Chrys> ...
<Rahne> If Miera can't stop them, then that means she'll be exhausted or otherwise debilitated.  Which would buy us time to sweep in and get the job done.  Let Meria try if she wants, it just keeps her out of our hair, or weakens her..
<Roric> We can't be sure that Cody can do 'is trick again.
* Chrys sighs.
<Cody> ...Why do you think I can't?
<Roric> Why do you think you can?
<Rachel> ...guys. ^^;
* Cody sighs, "I..."

<Rhiana> Well I'll tell you guys what
<Rhiana> I'm gonna sit down here again, and continue to meditate
<Rhiana> Come get me when you kids make up your minds.
<Rachel> <<I need a glowing baton or something. ;)>>
* Rachel takes a deep breath, speaking loudly to interrupt others. "Right....the voices in my head tell me that if we're gonna save Flora, we should book it to the Lost Continent real quick."
<GMStoren> « I wonder what tori thinks. ;) »
* Chrys looks at Rachel. "I really don't want to see what's going down in Southtown yet. Since you have the drum, what say we go to choice 3?"
<Rachel> ....so lets go there.
<Roric> ...Rachel...
<Chrys> ...
* Rhiana sits back down
* Chrys nods in agreement.
* Roric opens his mouth, then shuts it again, and sighs.
<Roric> ..nevermind.
* Niki quickly grabs Rachel's hand and twirls her around...rather forcefully too. "Really?!!"
<Cody> Right...let's help Flora. :)
<Rachel> ....ow.
* Rachel grimaces.
* Rahne nods. *
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Rachel> ...yes. ^^;
<Chrys> You said Plant or Moon, right, Ror? Rache's the leader, so...
<Niki> WOO!
* Chrys looks at Niki as she yanks Rachel's arm out of the socket. O_o;
<Roric> ...I guess we might as well get it over with.
* Roric gives Niki a look and grumbles.
* Tori lets out a quiet sigh of relief.
* Chrys lightly nudges Rhiana. "Looks like we've decided, Rhi."
<Roric> I gotta warn you guys.
<Rachel> Hm?
<Roric> I ain't gonna be a big 'elp against the Plant Seed's energy.
<Cody> . o O ( But if Meria obtains fire...won't she be even stronger?... )
<Roric> But I'll do what I can.
<Chrys> ....Understandable, Ror.
<Rhiana> Yes, I can see that

<Rachel> <<....dairship.....why god why. Gah. ;_;>>
* Rahne snuggles against Flammie for the flight, her eyes remaining pretty much forward. *
<GMStoren> [Engineer] Are you the Mana Knights!
<Roric> «ooc: Is that Engineer Tom? »
<Niki> And you are...wait, I don't know you.
<Rachel> That'd depend on who is asking!
<GMStoren> The hum of the steam engines grows louder as you can see this is a ship fitted for war...
<GMStoren> [Engineer] Tasnican Republic! This is our pride, the prototype airship, the SS Jema!
<Chrys> I think the lady means "Are you friend or foe"?
* Roric doesn't respond because of the whizzing in his ears.
* Rachel arches an eyebrow at that, gazing longingly at the airship and wondering if it could beat Flammie if it lost some cargo.
<GMStoren> [Engineer] We're on your side! We're here to show that Godbeast the power of our technology!
<GMStoren> Flammie levels out near the broadside of the ship so you can hear better.
* Cody just hangs on, looking out over the horizon...
<GMStoren> The dreadnought airship rocks a few times as the dragon kicks up some turbulence.
* Niki thinks....and after a minute she looks up. "I know...I'll just call you Bob. Hi Bob."
<Roric> «ooc: He's Tom. ;_; »
* Rachel tries to pick her words carefully.
<GMStoren> You can see lots of soldiers & sailors wearing blue uniforms.
<Niki> «ooc: fine fine... »
<Rachel> I'm afraid that your weapons probably won't do much against it, sir! 
<Niki> Hmm...or how about Tom.  Yeah I like that better.  Hi Tom.
<GMStoren> The man calling to you is up near the helm, amidst a gaggle of steam jets and gauges.
<Roric> JUST 'AVE A CARE NOT TO GET KNOCKED DOWN, DONTCHA!
* Roric looks over Tom's crews.
<Roric> YOU'LL PROLLY BE OK, BUT DON'T GET COCKY, EH?
<GMStoren> [Engineer] It'll take a lot to stop us, sirs... if nothing else we'll at least trap the beast long enough for our land forces to subdue it.
<Rachel> . o O (...casualties that don't need to happen...damnit...more lives lost..)
<GMStoren> [Engineer] And my name's Roland! Not Bob!
<Roric> «ooc: He's Tom. ;_; »
<Niki> No its not.  Your name is Tom. ^^
<Cody> Niki... -_-;
<Rachel> ....be careful! If you hit it, don't stick around to gloat! I wish you luck!
<Roric> «ooc: <Rachel> . o O (Damn the cost of this terrible war. Whoa, I have a chocolate bar I forgot about!) »
<GMStoren> [Roland] Where are you flying to if I may ask?
<Cody> «ooc: TIme to eat this cupcake! Oh right! WAR! »
<Roric> LOST CONT'NENT!
* Rachel winces against Cody at Ror's yelling. ^^;
<Chrys> Roric, no need to yell... O_o I think he can hear us fine normally!
<GMStoren> [Roland] So you are going into the ruins?
* Roric shifts position to look at Chrys. "WHAT?"
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Cody> Gaah!
<Chrys> ...Ow.
* Rahne folds her ears down.. * ^^;
* Cody holds one of his ears. ^^;
* Rachel mumbles against Cody's shirt. ^^;
<Chrys> I SAID YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOUT!
<Roric> «ooc: I CAN'T HEAR YOU, SEE, I'VE GOT THESE BANANAS IN MY EARS! »
* Chrys coughs lightly.
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Aww. Must go take pills now. BRB :) »
<Rachel> . o O (God help us, we are the saviors of this world....)
* Rhiana shakes her head in disgust
<GMStoren> [Roland] No ned to shout! But I do wish to give you some advice!
* Rachel lifts her head to gaze at Roland curiously.
<Roric> (m) Lucky us.
<GMStoren> [Roland] The Lost Continent has a lot of technology from the great Empire of Lorima, the only place in the world that even Vandole feared back then. It's taken us years to study it, but they all work on spirit energy, where as our ships like this one use other power sources.
<Rachel> <<...what? What the hell does that have to do with us? Dear god.>>
<GMStoren> [Roland] So if you need to give anything that still working a jump start, take this...
<GMStoren> Roland reaches into his pocket and sends something hurtling your way. o_O
* Rachel blinks and reaches out to snag it!
<Roric> «ooc: She misses and it falls into oblivion! »
<GMStoren> Rachel's arm nearly gets yanked off by the device as she catches it. It's a small, square box with starnge designs on it. You could swear you've seen them somewhere before.
<Roric> «ooc: Roland: Hang on, I've got another... »
<Chrys> «ooc: It's a RUBIK'S CUBE! »
* Rachel winces and then gazes at the box curiously...
<GMStoren> >> Rachel acquires Power Cell! :D
<GMStoren> « it does look like a Rubik's cube ^^ »
* Rachel tucks it away in her pack and nods. "Thanks, Roland! Good luck to you!" ^^
<GMStoren> [Roland] Thanks, may both our victories be glorious!
<GMStoren> [Soldiers] Yes sir!
* Rachel reaches down to pat Flammie. "Let's go, girl!"
* Tori raises an eyebrow at Rache; "You're wishing them good luck at dropping bombs into a live volcano to save the nearby town?"
<GMStoren> Flammie pulls away as the ship continues onto the volcano, and she veers westward to the sea.
<Rachel> ...you wanted me to argue with them while we're in mid-air?
<Tori> No, but mocking them might have been nice.
<GMStoren> [Flammie] Rowrrrr.... *sounds a bit preturbed*
<Rachel> I do believe that job falls to you and Chrys. ^_-
<Niki> Come on...lets go already.
* Tori decides to shut upa nd just thank good fortune that they're going after the plant beast instead of the other alternative.
* Rachel glances down at Flammie curiously but says nothing more..
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: back ^^ »
<GMStoren> Soon Kakkara is out of sight, and you approach the vague coastline of submerged Lost Continent... As you look for the tiny island that houses the Tree Palace, you find that it is overgrown by what seems to be huge vines.
<Rachel> <<TEMPTATION TO SAY 'TAKE ME TO YOUR WEEDER'....>>
<Rachel> <<sdjdg...will...resist...>>
<GMStoren> « LOL »
<Cody> ...Spirit energy...? I wonder...
* Rachel narrows her eyes... "Well, fuck."
<Cody> ...Hmm. Rachel...looks like you can practice your Tarzan impression some more. ^^
<Chrys> ...Funny, Cody.
* Rachel blinks and chuckles softly, mumbling something about falling out of windows.
<Cody> Hey Rachel? Mind if I take the cube? I have an idea... ^^
* Rachel digs into her pack and holds it forward to Cody.
* Cody takes it, "Thanks. :)"
<Rachel> <<....it being the cube. Christ. I sober up real bad.>>
<GMStoren> Flammie starts lowering altitude, and you see your asusmptionw as correct. the entire palace itself is overrun by nature, the weeds and tendrils blocking access to the door, and running out on window to another.
<Niki> «ooc: * Cody starts peeling the stickers and rearranging them....the little cheating bastard. »

* Rachel looks at the garden gone mad.. "...looks like we have our work cut out for us...."
<GMStoren> As Cody grabs the strange cube into his hands, it glows softly.
* Chrys pulls out a dagger. "Bad pun, Rache."
<Cody> ...As I thought...Spirit energy...
<Rachel> <<Rachel: Now make it vibrate! We could have some fun with this, Cody!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Wee! »
* Rachel glances at the glowing cube.
<Cody> It must be reacting to my pendant...you think?
<GMStoren> The energy from his hands is drawn into it, causing the lines running all along it's surface to become brighter. It's exactly like the Dime Tower's wall patterns.
<Rachel> Probably....
<GMStoren> Flammie lands, and prompt nearly trips over the flower bed from hell. ^^
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> [Flammie] Rrr... --;
* Niki looks at the flower. "Hey, be careful!"
<Cody> Gah! O_o
<Rahne> << J..  are you under a Boil Water notice there? >>
* Rachel grunts softly at the rough landing. "Easy there, girl....we'll get off now and you can go back to the air, away from this mess..." ^^;
<Rachel> <<St. John's is.>>
<Rachel> <<^^;; The water is dark brown.>>
<GMStoren> « o_o »
<GMStoren> « eep. »
<Rahne> << Ewww.. ;_; >>
<Rachel> <<Not here yet tho. We're still clean ^^>>
<GMStoren> « *mails you some lovely NYC tap* »
* Chrys hops off lightly, not seeming fazed or really all there at the moment.
* Cody hops off as well.
* Rachel slides down, drawing the Mana Sword... "Guess we can't smoke this stuff away, huh?" ^_-
* Niki hops off and lands on a flower...well a few of them. "Oops, sorry." ^^;;
<GMStoren> Niki gets the distinct feeling the flower Flammie tripped on is in pain, but it's not because of stepping on it.
* Roric hops off Flammie's back, drawing the boomerang.
* Rhiana climbs off Flammie, stretching slightly before replacing her hat upon her head, looking very non chalante
* Niki quickly draws her axe and levels it in front of everyone, not letting them pass. "Something is wrong..."
<Roric> There's a lot of raw power here...be careful.
* Tori climbs down and takes a look at the surroundings.
* Rahne clambers down.. *
<Rachel> Niki.. ^^; 
<Chrys> ...I think that's obvious, Niki...
<GMStoren> Getting a good look, you could probably chop some of the vines blocking the door away, but it would take a very long time.
<Niki> No, I mean really really wrong.
<Cody> Niki...what is it?
<Roric> That's why we're here.
<Niki> Their...in pain.  Crying for help.
<Cody> Then let's help them...
<GMStoren> You also notice something different than last time you were here, the fact that the island itself seems bigger... there's some sandy shelves leading to the left and right of the building.
* Niki walks up to the vine covered door. "Please can we come in?"
<Rachel> <<...we doin this tonight? ^^;>>
<GMStoren> « No, i'm just leading into it :) »
<Chrys> «ooc: ... »
<Roric> «ooc: I keep meaning to get an in pain, but I never think about it when I'm agt the store. »
<GMStoren> Niki's ring glows for a breif second.
<Chrys> «ooc: Ror, WHAT? O_o; »
<GMStoren> A spectral form of Dryad appears in front of the door, but you can barely make her out.
<Cody> Dryad!
<GMStoren> [Dryad] Niki! Roric!
<Roric> What's going on?
<Roric> Can you let us in?
* Niki tries to grasp Dryad...her hands going through her.
<GMStoren> [Dryad] I'm... trapped... in my home... Mispolm...
<Rachel> ...
<Chrys> Miswha?
<Cody> The Plant Godbeast...
<GMStoren> [Dryad] It's.. digging into the ruins... tapping power... cut it... at... source... please
<Niki> «ooc: Must say it.... »
* Rhiana looks at Chrys for a second and ponders explaining Mispolm to him..then changes her mind
<Niki> I'LL SAVE YOU!
<Cody> «ooc: WHOO! »
<Chrys> ...
<GMStoren> Dryad tries to say something but you can't hear it.
<Chrys> «ooc: Sorry, Rhi, Cody, forgot. Thought Mispolm was a place how Dryad explained it O_o; »
<GMStoren> Niki hears the word Flora, but then her spectre fades away into the vine.
<Niki> Wait...what did you say?
<Roric> Very well then. We need to find an alternate path.,
<Rachel> Wonderful.
* Chrys sighs. "Bloody lovely."
* Rhiana winds up and throws a fireball at the vined door
* Niki glares at Rhiana. "Stop that!"
<GMStoren> The vines around you seem to favor the left side of the exposed shelf, several of the larger ones eminating from a hole in the bedrock.
<GMStoren> the firebal chars a portion of the vines, but they just sit there sizzling.
* Chrys steps back a bit, noticing something odd and venturing closer. "Hey, guys, I think I found our way."
* Rhiana grimaces, "Well, that didn't turn out the way I thought it would."
* Rhiana shrugs, "Ah well."
* Chrys moves a little closer to the hole, trying to avoid the vines.
* Cody follows Chrys.
<Rhiana> Maybe if I freeze the vines...
<Niki> Stop!
<Chrys> Rhi! Over here!
<Chrys> I think there's another way in!
* Rhiana blinks, "Wow, you think? There's a news flash. What did you find?"
* Niki heads over to where Chrys is.
<GMStoren> Chrys notices the twisting intruders have carved a tunnel of sorts deeper into the island. You can't see where it ends, but it's wideenough to crawl through at least.
* Roric peers down into the darkness. "Hurm."
<Rhiana> ....I see.
* Rhiana summons a small ball of light to her hand and drops it in the hole.
<Chrys> I don't know if it'll lead us straight to Mispolm, but... It's probably the only lead we have. Especially if we don't want Niki trying to beat you up in a fit of rage.
<GMStoren> The ball falls quickly, down, down, down... and it seems to stop somewhere, making a plop sound as it hits solid ground.
* Niki crawls into the tunnel. "I'm going first."
<Chrys> «ooc: A plop sound? SOMEONE FIRE THE SOUND GUY »
<Cody> «ooc: Hahah. He's on strike! :o »
<GMStoren> « well I had to make ti do something! »
* Rhiana grimaces again, "I don't like holes I can't see the bottom of."
<Chrys> «ooc: But "plop"? Storen! ;p »
<Rachel> ....guess it's worth a shot. Niki, I'll back you up...
<Chrys> Do we have any other choice, Rhi?
* Cody nods, and follows Niki reluctantly. ^^;
* Rachel crouches and follows Niki in....
<GMStoren> Niki crawls into the hole, but the slope soon becomes steep and she starts sliding ontop of the green vines... o_O
<Rhiana> Yes, but I'm afraid they would be more time and energy consuming.
<Chrys> ...Any other choice that doesn't involve decimating local plantlife I mean.
<Roric> Let's just go.
* Roric follows close behind.
* Niki slides downward, refusing to use her axe to strike the vines to aid her.
* Chrys nods, following after the others.
* Roric hugs the vines to slow his fall without stopping it entirely.
* Cody slides around, getting various bumps and bruises! ;_;
* Rhiana shrugs, "Ah well."
* Rhiana enters as well
* Tori climbs onto the vine and starts to half climb and half slide down after the others.
* Rachel winces at Cody bumps into her, trying to mimic the others.
<Niki> .oO( If this leads to the warp room, then it'll be easy to keep going. )
<Rachel> <<as.>>
<Cody> Sorry...Gah! O_o
<GMStoren> The group who enter find a fast, bumpy ride aka to a waterslide... twisting, turning, until finnaly you drop down several feet and land in a heap!
* Cody looses his grip on the vines and slides down rather hard!
* Rahne quietly makes her own little way along.. *
<Roric> «ooc: >> Cody cracks his skull on the rocks below and dies! »
<Rhiana> Oh great!
* Chrys flies down the waterslide in a typical cinematic fashion, landing on top of Cody.
<Cody> «ooc: Cody cracks his ribs next! »
<Cody> @_@ Guh...
* Rachel grunts loudly as Cody and Chrys fall on her leg!
* Niki rolls out of the way as she lands, saving herself from being the center of a dogpile.
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 40: Color of the Summer Sky | Location: Ruins of Lorima | 1230 Luc -=- Aloha: http://ddi.digital.net/~ekberg/SOM_roughs/'
* Rhiana promptly falls on them
<Cody> Gack! O_o
<Rachel> ....fucker! Ow! My damn leg!
* Chrys gets smushed by Rhiana. "My damn body, Rache!"
* Tori falls, but is strangely cushioned. Go figure.
<Cody> I can't  breathe...@_@
* Niki gets up and looks around to see if she knows what room they're in.
<Rhiana> Get your hands off those!
<Tori> Gah! Sorry.
* Rachel drags herself out from under Cody, wincing and rubbing her leg.
* Chrys tries to move but fails miserably, being in the middle of this loser sandwich
* Roric hops effortlessly off the vine, tiptoeing through the tangled mess of limbs.
* Rahne drops down but uses her spear to vault off the side of the chute and miss the group.. she winces as she looks at the pile of heroes. *
* Tori clambers off (possibly slightly red in the face?)
<Rhiana> «ooc: lol, and the least likely of the party in Tori is the one who speaks up ;) »
<GMStoren> The dizzy clump of Knights finds Rhiana's light ball is still intact, as it illuminates the strange chamber.
* Rhiana stands up, looking a little woozy
<Rachel> <<Call us a loser sandwich...hmph.. ^^>>
* Cody is still dazed on the ground. @_@
<Rhiana> «ooc: Oh great, we broke Cody again »
* Rachel stands and leans down, tugging Cody up from under Chrys.
<Rhiana> «ooc: He'll be out 3 or 4 sessions »
* Chrys rolls off Cody and helps him up
<Cody> Gah--! Thanks... ^^:
<Tori> <<Rhi: That was more or less the insinuation of the "strangely cushioned" comment ^^;>>
<GMStoren> The vines seem to traverse the cieling in several directions, clinging to a very metallic surface that dominates the area. There's a few doors around you too, but they don't seem like any door you've ever seen before.
* Rachel turns to gaze about..
<Rhiana> «ooc: lol, I know Locke, I think it was great ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: I need a home DDR pad. »
* Cody blinks, and pulls out the power cell.
* Rhiana regains her composure and shakes off the red face she now has
* Chrys looks around. "You've been here before, Niki... seem familiar?"
<GMStoren> There's a slot near the three exits that square shaped. ^^
<Roric> «ooc: Don't you hacve one? »
<Niki> I'm looking.
* Cody heads to that slot, trying to fit the power cell inside.
* Rhiana takes off her hat and messes around with her hair some before putting it back on.
<Roric> «ooc: ...oh shit. AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH »
<Cody> «ooc: o_o What? »
<GMStoren> It's a perfect fit. In fact, the moment he inserts it there's a bright flash as the dim room suddenly is flooded with lights from abvoe your head. :o
<Cody> Gah--!
<Rachel> Woah!
* Rachel raises her sword reflexively before forcing herself to relax.
<Rhiana> Well, that will save on my magic batteries.
* Niki looks around to see if she can reconize the place now.
<Roric> «ooc: I just remembered the horrible truth that upset me earlier, Lucca. »
* Rahne looks slowly around.. *
* Chrys blinks. "Yeah. ...wait. "Magic batteries"? The hell?"
<Roric> ...hmph.
<Roric> Interesting.
<GMStoren> There's four strange round objects casting the light.
<GMStoren> « aka lightbulbs. :) »
* Rhiana eyeballs Chrys
* Rhiana shakes her head slightly.
<Chrys> What? It's not my fault that what you said sounded stupid!
<GMStoren> The doors creak a moment, and the one next to Cody opens, sliding to the side. Youc an see it's made of very fine glass.
* Rhiana shrugs
* Rhiana shifts her gaze to Tori
<Cody> ...Ready to go on...?
<Roric> Be careful here.
<Roric> It's difficult to guess what might happen.
* Chrys sighs and shakes his head, nodding to Cody.
<GMStoren> The walls also seem to be painted a very nice white color, however it's discolored and peeling from eons of age.
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rhiana> Tori, how much longer until you kill them all? »
<Niki> This is different...
<GMStoren> There's a sign on the wall near each door, but it's in gibberish you cannot understand.
<Niki> I wonder where we are. ^^;
<GMStoren> Emerald appears near Rachel.
<Roric> Isn't it obvious?
* Rachel looks to Emerald..
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Wow, so this is Lorima... it's been a long long time.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Wait for the real plot twist. Where Rhiana and Tori turn on the Mana Knights and show their true alligence, and the real enemy. We've formed an alliance with Jay and Silent Bob, Vince McMahon, Kathy Lee Gifford and the 1-800-COLLATT guy »
* Chrys looks at the sign. "This... language looks familiar, but I can't read it.."
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Here, lemme look....
<Roric> I don't suppose you can offer us directions, Emerald?
* Rhiana attempts to locate the mana beast via her magic aura
<Chrys> «ooc: ...The 1-800-CALLATT guy? You mean dumbass Carrot Top? »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Hell no, I mean David Arquette »
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Ah! Okay. »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well I'm a little rusty on my centuries old languages, but this says "Shopping District".
<Chrys> «ooc: At first I thought you meant T, but that's 1-800-COLLECT :p »
<Roric> Hmm.
<Chrys> ...Hm. Maybe there's something still intact that could be useful here?
<Rhiana> «ooc: No. You guys will need T on your side if you're to beat us »
* Chrys shrugs.
<Roric> No help to us.
<Roric> Let's proceed.
<Chrys> «ooc: Only because you have Silent Bob AND Kathy Lee »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] And the left's.. umm.. Administrative Offices. The right is... Industrial District.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Bwhaha, evil is good »
<Cody> «ooc: Because GOOD is dumb! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: LOL »
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ »
* Rachel looks faintly amused at Emerald.
<Roric> «ooc: Sometime I should tell you guys about when I bore Kathy Lee's love child. »
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o; »
<Roric> «ooc: It's a nice story. »
<Cody> «ooc: Ah, so it was YOU who gave birth to Cody! :o »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Hey, there's a poster for a cool jewlery store down the block.. ^^
<Rhiana> «ooc: I bet it's got one hum digner of an ending. »
<Cody> ...Jewlery...
* Rhiana continues her aura search for the beast
* Cody blushes a bit. ^^;
<Chrys> ...Cody, we don't have time to make you feel pretty.
<Cody> . o O ( Nah. Godbeast. Can't go hunting for jewels for her now... ^^; )
<Rachel> Thinking of pretty things, Em? ^_- 
<GMStoren> Rhiana can't locate it specifically... it's seeming to go in every direction from her.
<Roric> Nobody is to take anything from this place.
* Cody glances at Chrys, "Not for me."
* Chrys looks at Rhi. "Any luck?"
* Rhiana curses under her breath
* Rhiana shakes her head
<Roric> Let the dead rest.
<Chrys> Hm.
<Rhiana> He's everywhere.
* Chrys nods at Roric. "Yeah, good point."
* Rhiana points to the vines
<Roric> ...everywhere...
<Rachel> I say we try to the industrial distract.
<Chrys> ...Everywhere? Hell. So you can't pinpoint the main body?
<Rachel> <<DISTRICT>>
<GMStoren> You notice the air down here is very cool, but yet also stale from being uninhabited.
<Roric> ...very well. 
<Rhiana> I can't.  He's fluxing his power around via these vines very well.
* Roric steps through the Industrial District doors.
* Rachel follows Ror, keeping an eye out...
<Cody> Such techology...
* Cody looks around.
<Chrys> Hm.
* Chrys follows the group as usual.
* Niki also follows.
* Rhiana grabs Tori by the ear and pulls him along
* Rahne continues to tag alone quietly. *
<GMStoren> As Roric steps to the glass door, it slides away, revealing what is almost like an enclosed town beyond it... there are buildings of every description on each side of him, and the sidewalk beneath seems to glow faintly. It is deadly quiet, until a vocie breaks that silence.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Run for your lives, Rosanne! She's singing! »
<Roric> «ooc: <Cody> Doo doot dee doo...*looks around* What? »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> [Voice] Welcome to the Industrial Block of Lorima. Please Remember, Keep the City Clean For Everyone.. Don't Litter. ^_^
<Rachel> ....
<Chrys> ...
<Rhiana> «ooc: The voice is smiling »
<Roric> Hmm.
* Rachel looks about at the wreckage. ".....a bit late for that." ^^;
* Roric looks around.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Oh great... :p
<Chrys> «ooc: [Voice] You are passing through entry three into neighborhood three. Ustedes con tapas muy loco etc etc »
<Roric> ...I don't think that's a real person. I've seen this sort of thing before.
<Rhiana> I thought this stuff only existed in those Final Dungeon and Fantasy Galaxy games?
<Niki> «ooc: Chrys...I want to shoot you now. »
<Chrys> «ooc: HEHEH »
<GMStoren> Tori notices something strange in a few broken glass windows. It's.. a gun that looks strangely like his own.
<Niki> «ooc: And its...'Ustedes papa sando por ala entrarler la tres al prestentario tres.' »
* Tori removes Rhiana's hand and walks towards the display window,
<GMStoren> In fact, it seems to be a factory of some sort, but the assembly line is in disarray, parts strewn about.
<Roric> «ooc: <Rhiana> OWWW! JESUS CHRIST! »
<Cody> «ooc: Tori: ...Shiny.. XO~~~ »
<Rhiana> «ooc: MY HAND! »
* Rachel trots onwards a little, sword raised just in case.....
* Rhiana blinks at Tori and what he's looking at, "Isn't that...?"
<Chrys> Wait.. Tor'?
<Cody> ...Maybe they have a staff production place. Hmm.
<Tori> (m) Just like...
<Roric> Remember why we are here.
<Rahne> ..Just like from the Veedios..
* Chrys looks at the distracted psycho. "Tori..?"
<GMStoren> « hey why not roll with this a bit more before I cut. :) »
<Roric> «ooc: FUCK »
*** Roric (foon@pix142166196161.nbtel.net) Quit (Quit: )
<Cody> «ooc: O_o »
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
* Rhiana goes into the building
<Cody> YOU BROKE HIM AGAIN!!
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
<Cody> «ooc: er, OOC! »
<GMStoren> « LOL »
<Cody> «ooc: Hah! I should leave that! ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: <Chrys> Tori? <Cody> GOD DAMN IT CHRYS! YOU BROKE THE TROUBLESHOOTER AGAIN »
<GMStoren> Tori finds several mana sidearms. They make his own look rather primitive in comparison. Despite the dust on them, they have a keen shine.
* Rachel waits for the group, standing guard while they explore...
* Rhiana picks one up, "Looks like something you would know about, Tori."
<GMStoren> There's a sparking display above it that reads "Personal Defense Solutions"
* Rhiana sweatdrops, "Understatement of the century...."
* Chrys watches Rhi and Tori, pondering.
* Cody wanders up ahead....just a little. ^^
<Tori> *m* I guess we didn't dig deep enough..
* Rachel keeps an eye on the wandering Gemma.
<Rhiana> I wonder what this thing can do.
* Niki also picks one up. "Hey, it looks like that shooting stick that he has. I want one."
* Chrys quirks an eyebrow, and then figures his mind's playing tricks on him. Tori didn't just say what he thought...did he?
<Cody> «ooc: Niki shoots cOdy in the head! »
<GMStoren> Cody finds some wreckage blocking many areas, and some vines strewn about.
<GMStoren> There's a very large building with a row of lights leading to it.
<Cody> Hmm...
<Chrys> «ooc: Five foot wreckage that we cannot get around since we are RPG CHARACTERS »
<GMStoren> You hear vague tarces of movement too..
<Chrys> «ooc: Er, five-foot-high »
<GMStoren> « lol ^^ »
* Rhiana puts the weapon down and clears her throat, "Well, now I know where to shop for Tori's birthday."
* Niki turns around pointing the gun off towards the sound.
<Niki> This is to light...
* Tori looks at Rhiana. "No. Roric's right. These things never brought anything but misery, anyway."
* Niki tosses it behind her and pulls out her axe instead.
<Cody> I hear something...
* Rachel trots further ahead, coming up beside Cody and blinking curiously at the lights...
<GMStoren> Niki tosses the gun away from her, and as it hits the floor, the firing mechanism goes off, blasting a wall near Cody. o_O
* Rhiana looks into Tori's eyes, "Weapons bring everyone misery, no matter how primitive or advanced. No matter how old or how new. Weapons are for killing and taking lives..and they bring nothing but pain."
<Rachel> ...!
* Chrys shakes his head and draws his daggers, running deftly towards Cody. "You think it's tha-Gah!"
<Niki> «ooc: I knew that was gonna happen. :D »
* Chrys glares at the direction the shot came from.
* Niki looks around. "What was that?"
<Rachel> ....Niki.
* Cody falls back! O_o
<Rachel> Don't throw the weapons, please.
<Cody> Ow...I'm okay. O_o
<Niki> You mean don't throw those shooting sticks?
* Cody looks a bit shaken though.
<Rhiana> Ah my Goddess!  You nearly killed the Gemma...again.
<GMStoren> [Voice] Please Remember Safety is Important. The Authorities have been Alerted. Thank You. Have a Nice Day.
* Rahne doesn't look very pleased.. *
* Rachel looks concerned and brushes Cody off a little.. she then freezes. "...authorities?"
<Chrys> ... Hopefully the authorities are as dead as the rest of this place.
<Tori> Given the nature of these places, that doesn't sound like a good thing.
<Rhiana> ...I don't like the word authorities...
<Rachel> ...maybe we should get a move on. ^^;
<Chrys> Yes. Very much so.
<Rhiana> I would be inclined to agree.
<Niki> «ooc: <Chrys> Yes...computer. Warp 9 engage! »
<GMStoren> The air is still again.
* Cody gulps, and moves forward.
* Rachel shakes her head and begins to follow the path of lights...
<Rachel> <<...the urge to sing 'Follow the yellow brick road!' is amazing.>>
*** Gayo (foon@142.166.196.161) has joined #pureland
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Gayo
<Gayo> «ooc: Hi, Guys. What's up? »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Cody's wee wee, Rachel just gave him a hand job. »
<Rachel> <<Niki almost shot Cody. ^^;>>
<Niki> «ooc: It was cool. »
<Rachel> <<*lights Rhiana on fire*>>
<Gayo> «ooc: Why? »
<Niki> «ooc: Gun misfire. »
<Cody> «ooc: Cuz Niki is a dork ^^ »
<Tori> It's all so similar..I guess all of the ruins are inter-related..the dime tower, the mountain, the lost continent...
<GMStoren> You see it leads up to what appears to be a several story tower, with many pipes eminating from it. Perhaps the center of this area. The overgrowth seems to spew out from the long dead factory's exhausts instead of smoke. ^^
* Chrys looks at Rachel and Cody, then back at the slithering mass. "I think we found Mispolm, guys."
<Gayo> We shall see.
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<Niki> «ooc: Thanks Gayo! »
<Gayo> By the way, I'm Gayo.
<Chrys> «ooc: You don't say, Gayo! »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Gayo> Nice to meet you.
*** Gayo is now known as Roric
<GMStoren> « oh god ;) »
<Roric> We shall see.
<Niki> «ooc: Gayo should be this robotic NPC now. :D »
* Rachel tenses and readies the sword.. "Let's go..."
<Roric> I RESTORE YOUR TP
<Roric> «ooc: wvgfniprbnv »
<Cody> «ooc: Gayo IS understudy Biff! »
<Roric> «ooc: O O FUCKING C »
<Rhiana> I wouldn't be surprised, Tori.  Weapons of mass destruction and all.
<GMStoren> As the group reaches a very long sliding door, the vines start moving of their own will around you.
* Cody tenses, pulling out his staff.
<Rachel> ....
* Niki looks at the vines. "Stop...Were gonna save you."
<Chrys> Niki, they might want to hurt you before they get saved...be ready to fight back if the need arises...
<Tori> It seems strange though...all the ruins indicate that the society and culture was pretty much world-wide. What did they need weapons for?
* Roric thrusts a hand forward, palm-open, a crackling ball of energy forming around it. "They may be extensions of Mispolm."
<Chrys> «ooc: Tori! We need a closing line! ^^; »
<GMStoren> As if in miraculous growth spurts, they slither over to block the entrance.
<Roric> «ooc: <Tori> Oh, right. Battle. *pulls out his gun and starts shooting randomly* It is pretty interesting, though. »
<Cody> ...Oh dear.
* Rhiana shrugs, "Riddles I can't answer, really, Tori. Weapons....are useless, in the long run."
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rhiana> I want a cupcake! »
<Niki> «ooc: <Tori> And I want a cupcake too. »
<Niki> «ooc: Agh. »
<Cody> «ooc: O_o »
<GMStoren> Several flowers erupt from the surface of of the vines, budding and expanding into monstrous roses. o_O
<Roric> I believe they will prove quite useful at this moment in time...
<Roric> Let's find out.
<Chrys> «ooc: Close on that. That was good ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: FIGHT IT OUT! »
<Rhiana> Guess what, I found the God beast.
<Niki> «ooc: They sprinkle pollen on you, upon the pollen's impact the party flashes rainbow colors and are now confused! »
<Roric> «ooc: LIBERATION »
<Chrys> «ooc: AGHAHGAJFHIWNCSKGHBIEFJSKRHWO CODY NO OGRE BATTLE »
<GMStoren> [Voice] Welcome to....zzzzz...

<Chrys> «ooc: Same goes to you, Ror! »
<Cody> «ooc: The voice fell asleep! »
<Rachel> <<Welcome to Zzzz? O_o>>
<Chrys> «ooc: "Welcome to zzz"? Yeah! What Cody said! »
<Niki> Its her...
<GMStoren> The comptuer voice crackles and fades replaced by a very rumbling one. "...your resting place."
<Chrys> «ooc: [Voice] Can't talk...porno dream in progress...zzzzz »
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION END ~~
<Cody> Niki...Let's see what we can do...
