<GMStoren> Morning breaks in the Palace of Dryad, as you feel rested and relaxed after your exhausting chase of Muspolm beneath the earth previous. Slowly the party is roused to their senses, all around the place, and plants seem to bloom of their own voalition, soaking up the sunlight.
<Cody> «ooc: ...Wah ^^ »

* Roric stretches languidly.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Augh ;O »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: What's happening? »
<Roric> Nnnnnnnnnnnnh.
<GMStoren> « just started Chris »
* Cody is still asleep, curled up near one of the trees. ^^
* Niki continues to sleep away, swinging on her hammock.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Pokes Cody and Rache :D Need CAR!!! :O »
<GMStoren> « slow down. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: I need a car too. ;_; »
* Chrys seems to have fallen asleep in front of the fountain in the main foyer, his left hand limply lying in the water.
<Niki> «ooc: There's a fountain? O_o »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^_^ Sorry, SoMRPG technology is not near that particular level of sophistication ^_^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Did he pee his pants>? »
<GMStoren> « more like plural. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: The room has a giant tree in the center. ^^;; »
<Rachel> <<....ohmigod, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!>>
<Niki> «ooc: There i »
<Niki> «ooc: EVIL »
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: YES!! »
<Niki> «ooc: There IS a little river or something though. ^^; »
<Roric> Heh. Looks like I'm an early riser today.
* Roric produces a toothpick and picks his teeth idly.
* Rachel is sleeping in the tree, her sword and armor at the base of it....
<Chrys> «ooc: Yeh, Niki. And it forms a nice little pool around the tree. Think Tenchi. »
<GMStoren> Emerald floats around Rachel's head as she sleeps in the branches, poking a few cut flowers in her face. "Time to wake up and smell the roses, partner..."
<Niki> «ooc: No, this isn't Tenchi. This is MY room. ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: lol »
* Rahne remains tucked away in a corner, curled up in a little ball, using her satchel as a pillow.. *
* Rachel snorts softly and waves a hand at Emerald.. "Nnhh....g'wan.....few more minutes...."
* Tori more or less wakes up and groggily stretches as he tries to remember where and who he is today.
<Chrys> «ooc: I'm obviously in a different room. ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: <Tori> Oh, that's right, I'm Clark Kent today! Weeee! »
<Niki> «ooc: You mean you took one of the random warp doors? :o »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] *laugh* Well you can rest a little longer, but there's still work to do today.
<Roric> Ain't there always.
<GMStoren> « he could have, but the water channels are mostly here ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Apparently your plant palace and the one I was wandering around in are different, Storen. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Tori wears glasses? ;) »
* Rachel yawns and stretches against the tree... "...mmnh...always work...sleep now...work later...."
<Roric> Damn, Cody, put some CLOTHES on.
<GMStoren> « for the record the main room has a huge tree... you could be any height in it.. it's tall. there are channels of water below it, and a grassy carpet. »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> « the rest is random palace type rooms. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: WHAT? ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: * Rachel snaps awake and jumps down. "WHAT CODY'S NAKED?! WHERE?!!! :D :D" »
<Roric> We don't need to see that.
* Rachel opens one eye... "....?"
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Cooooooodeeeeee! Hug Rachel randomly! »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody holds on to his little ...gonads...and strife...naked. »
<Rachel> <<She's in a -tree- Chris. Jeez. ;)>>
<Rachel> <<Weeeee!>>
<GMStoren> [Emerald] eyes Roric curiously.
* Roric continues blithely picking his teeth.
* Rachel sighs softly and opens her other eye, rubbing her nose.. "Okay, I get the hint.. I'm up..." ^^;
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well that's one way to get her attention... ^_^
* Chrys mumbles something about respect..
<GMStoren> The fairy drops down a ways and begins randomly looking for people. She drops a flower on the sleeping Niki as she passes by.
<Roric> «ooc: <Chrys> R...e...mumble bumble...don't get no...mumble...c...t... »
* Rachel watches Emerald make her rounds from her perch in the tree, quite content to stay where she is for now.
* Niki turns to her side and sleeps some more.
* Chrys squirms and rolls over, landing in the channel of water with a loud splash!
* Chrys sits up, sputtering and coughing. "H..holy SHIT that's cold!"
<Roric> ....huh. I guess I don't miss much sleepin' in.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Chrys is Frozen! »
* Cody continues to sleep in. ^^
<GMStoren> Emerald stops by Tori. "You awake yet? You have a real far away look in your eyes today..."
* Rachel gazes at the sleeping Cody for a moment, taking in his rumpled state, and stretches once more leisurely..
* Chrys stands up, completely drenched, his hair hanging limply down to his shoulders... "Geh.. mornin', Roric."
<Roric> Mornin', Chrys.
* Tori shakes his head, clearing it. "I'm fine.."
<Niki> SNORE
<Chrys> «ooc: <Niki> HOT SUMMER DAY »
<Roric> «ooc: She's not sleeping...she's just sitting there loudly saying "SNORE" »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Niki> «ooc: Yes, but don't tell anyone. »
<Cody> zzz...
* Rahne folds her ears back, and hugs herself tighter in her sleep.. *
<GMStoren> Dryad starts appaeraing from the grassy floor of the main chamber, poking her head out of it cutely. "Hey... are you all awake yet?"
* Rachel glances at Dryad from the tree, waving a little. "Mostly."
<Roric> If by "all" you mean "some", then yes.
<Niki> ZZzzZz///
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
<Cody> «ooc: Niki is dreaming of slash fics :D »
* Chrys shakes the water out of his hair like a wet dog. "Thanks to restless sleep, yes. Pardon me while I go change."
<Roric> «ooc: zzzzzzzzzzxxxxxx^H^H^H^H^H^H^zzzzzz »
* Chrys wanders off into one of the portals.
<Roric> «ooc: ........ngh. I think I need to go to bed. Can I trust you guys to do the Moon Palace without me? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Indeed. »
<Rachel> <<I think we can handle it.>>
<Roric> «ooc: Hit tori a lot if he doesn't wanna »
<Rachel> <<Okay. ;)>>
<Niki> «ooc: Didn't Storen want you to do some Moon Palace desc? ^^;; »
* Rachel grabs the branch she's straddling and allows herself to slide off, hanging by her arms briefly....she swings slightly... "Whheeee!!"
<GMStoren> « it's okay ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: I think he just wanted me to remind you yhat that's where we're going ext OK BYE »
*** Roric (foon@pix142166202047.nbtel.net) Quit (Quit: )
<Cody> «ooc: Aaah :D »
<GMStoren> [Dryad *finishes manifesting and toddles over to Roric* Well, I heard about what was going on with Meira from Roric last night...]
* Rachel releases her grip and drops to the ground with a clean flip, landing crouched. Her back pops loudly. "....ow."
<GMStoren> « eep ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Damn, thats one hell of a name. ;) »
<GMStoren> [Dryad] *finishes manifesting and toddles over to Roric* Well, I heard about what was going on with Meira from Roric last night...
<Niki> «ooc: Cool. »
<Niki> «ooc: Finally. :o »
<Niki> «ooc: Oh well, I guess its time for me to wake up. »
* Rachel straightens, listening to Dryad as she dresses in her armor and straps her sword on...
* Rahne draws in a deep breath, letting out a long sigh, as though she doesn't want to wake up so soon, but has little choice. *
* Niki rocks her hammock just a little bit to much and it flips, making Niki land on the bed of flowers below it. "Huh...wha?"
<GMStoren> [Dryad] And if you want to null out her powers a little bit, you're going to need to get Luna's help first, then try to rescue Wisp in Wendel.
<Rachel> So we're going to the Moon Palace next...?
* Tori tenses.
* Rahne sits up, looking around and rubbing her eyes.. *
* Cody curls up a bit in his sleep.
<Niki> «ooc: You know...everyone in this group has a place where they don't want to go. Or didn't want to go. »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody could sleep through WW3 ;D »
* Chrys walks in, fixing his newly respiked hair. "Sounds like it. That's around Northtown and Larece... isn't it...?
<Rachel> Mm....yeah..
<GMStoren> [Dryad] Well Luna watches over the luck of people.. and I their Spirits. With us together, we can stop meira from worming her way into altering reality! Well, i hope anyway. ^^;
<Chrys> ...Hm. Bad memories.
* Rachel trots over to Cody, plucking up a flower from the ground...she kneels beside him and tickles his nose with the flower. ^^
* Rahne lets out a large yawn.. *
* Niki walks up to a nearby stream and lays down next to it. After a second of staring at the water she completely dunks her head.
<Rahne> << Damn my own sleepiness.. >>
<Rachel> Worth a shot, Dryad....well, now we know where we're going...unless anyone has complaints?
* Cody sqiurms a bit, looking like he wants to sneeze ^^;
* Rachel looks amusedly down at Cody and leans down, whispering softly into his ear.
<Chrys> Rache, I'm sure I could complain, but for the sake of the world, I won't.
* Rachel straightens up and turns to face the others. ^^
<Rachel> Okay then.. ^^
<Chrys> ...Actually, I have one complaint.
* Rahne sees that Cody's already being accosted by Rachel, and slumps back over, praying for more sleep.. *
<Chrys> Where the hell's Rhiana? She find the palace's hidden donut factory or something?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Let's not forget the Moon Beast is literally going to feed off the crap going on up north... we can't let him go doing that or it'll get even more messy. :p
* Cody smiles a little, a soft blush on his cheeks, before he opens his eyes and sits up, rubbing the sleep from them.
* Rachel chuckles softly. "....mmm. Good question. She's probably lurking somewhere."
* Chrys notices Rahne out of the corner of his eye and frowns slightly..
* Niki pulls her head out of the water. "Ahh." :D
<Tori> But isn't Wendel a little bit more important to protect then the empire lands? 
<Rachel> Wendel will be fine for now....
* Chrys walks over to Rahne slowly, worried look on his face as he takes the time to answer Tori's question. "Moon's more important to secure than Light, unfortunately."
<Chrys> Hey, Rahne... why'd you get out of your bed...?
* Rahne sits up again, restless. *
<GMStoren> [Dryad] Wendel's strong... but if you go there and lure Meira, you won't have us both. It may be your only chance to do it...
* Tori slmost seems to be getting a little nervous.
* Rachel reaches into her pack and offers some dried rabite to Cody idly, her gaze playing upon Tori...
<GMStoren> [Dryad] Besides, you may want to clear up all the fighting there so the republic can help you with Julius, right?
* Cody smiles at Rachel and takes a small bite, "We're heading to Larace?"
<Rachel> Mmhmm..
* Chrys kneels next to Rahne, looking concerned. "You gonna be okay?"
<Rahne> ..I dunno..  ..it doesn't matter.
* Niki returns to her hammock and sits down on it.
* Cody looks up to Rahne and Chrys, blinking.
* Rahne fusses with a few of her belongings. * Yeah, I'll be fine.
* Chrys sighs and stands up, turning to look at the others. "Okay... don't overexert yourself, Rahne.."
<Rachel> Sounds like a good plan to me, Dryad...
<Tori> . . .
* Rachel rubs her sword arm a little, coaxing the stiffness away.
* Chrys glances to Tori. "You can stay behind if you want."
<GMStoren> Emerald looks at Tori again, looking vaguely worried.
<Tori> No..besides, I don't have any reason to do that...
<Tori> It's just another town...
<Chrys> So's Northtown. Doesn't mean I like going there.
* Cody sighs a little. :/
* Rahne ties her satchel to her spear, and stands quietly, reluctantly; waiting for the others to resolve what they want to resolve. *
<GMStoren> « need to afk one moment. »
<Niki> «ooc: Me too. I'm making food. ^^; »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Wow I'm managed to not say one word this entire session, go me ;) »
<Rachel> We'll do this as quick as possible. Smash the enemy then get on our way again. No need to linger if there's some sort of problem..
<GMStoren> « ahh.. much better.. drinkies ^^ »
* Chrys shrugs.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Sorry I was away guys, talking to the girl I'm dating..don't wanna screw it up ;) »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Sounds good to me... no need to get involved in that place if it's too tense. We have bigegr fish to fry. ^^
* Rachel stands up and rests her hand on the hilt of her sword... "Exactly. "
<Chrys> ...Shouldn't we let Rhi find us first? ;P
<Rachel> We're not exactly a blur of movement, Chrys. ^_-
<Chrys> Not my fault.
* Cody finishes munching on his rabtie, and stands, trying to fix his rumpled apperance a bit. ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: rabtie? »
<Rachel> Didn't say it was.
<Cody> «ooc: I HAVe A RABBI IN A TIE »
<GMStoren> [Dryad] Well, the door to your left over there *points* will lead to the foyer. You can elave whenever you're ready. ^^
<Chrys> «ooc: Yeah, it's like a bow tie. »
<Rahne> << They're like little meaty bits of clothing. ^^;; >>
* Rachel glances at Cody in amusement. "Thanks, Dryad..."
<Rahne> << Food for the businessman, or hero, on the go. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> [Dryad] Just summon me and I'll try to help you however I can.
* Niki stands up and runs off into a different door.
* Rachel reaches over to ruffle Cody's hair up. "There....just perfect." ;)
* Rachel then blinks at Niki. ^^;
<Cody> Hey! ^^; I just tried to fix that!
* Cody grins playfully, and ruffles Rachel's hair in return! ;)
<GMStoren> With that said, she sinks into the grass like she was never there to begin with, a few blades falling to earth.
* Chrys holds his head in his hands and leans up against the wall next to Tori. "I'm serious, you know. You don't seem like you want to go."
* Niki vanishes as she runs through. As she runs through a sign appears on the door stating 'Occupied'
<Cody> «ooc: LOL »
* Rachel blinks and wrinkles her nose at Cody in amusement. "Oh yeah, like I'm the picture of orderly hair to begin with, stud." ;)
<GMStoren> « LOL »
<Rachel> <<Nice. ;)>>
<Cody> ^^; Well...well...
* Rahne keeps her eyes firmly on the ground, her ears lowered, as she waits patiently.. *
* Cody blushes a bit.
<Tori> Like I said, it's just aother town.
<Cody> «ooc: Poor Rahne. ^^; »
* Tori pushes away from the wall and walks away.
* Chrys watches Tori, shaking his head. "What the hell is that boy hiding...?"
* Rachel begins to say something but watches Tori go, curiousity and concern warring in her eyes.
<Rahne> << She'll live. ^^; >>
* Niki appears a minute later, the sign gone now.
<Niki> Ahh, much better.
<Cody> ...Is something wrong, Rachel?
<Rachel> Hmm? Oh, no. Just wondering about Tori...and pondering if Rhi will show up so we can hit the road...
* Cody frowns a bit.
* Rachel rubs her arm again and begins to head for the foyer...
<Rachel> C'mon, guys. ^^; 
* Rahne takes in another breath, and slowly begins to follow.. *
<Rachel> <<The group is more unresponsive than usual ;) Damnit. Where is Ror when you need fire in your heels?! :o>>
* Cody follows Rachel, trying to rub the sleep from his eyes. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Emerald] *Rubs her tiny chin* Hmm... I wonder... Dolan might be controlling the minds of the Larecians, so watch out for harming them just incase...
* Chrys follows after Rache, looking at Rahne with growing concern.
* Niki walks up to Rachel, all of her stuff ready.
<Rachel> Mm...so we should just take them down and not kill them? Not too easy when they're trying to kill you...
<Chrys> ...Nothin' wrong with killin' them in self defense. Just try not to.
* Cody sighs. -_-;
<GMStoren> One by one the party vanishes into the portal, ending up in the front room of the Plant Palace. You can still see some remnants of the huge growth that was blocking the door, but even now you can see it withering away to obscurity, the exit clear.
* Rachel glances at Cody.
<Niki> Ahh, I like the place better like this then with all those stupid vines. ^^
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 42: High Tension Wire | Location: Plant Palace, Lost Continent I | 2831 Luc | Salamando's Day, Morning =-'
* Cody blinks, and look at Rachel.
<Rachel> I'd have to agree, Niki. ^_-
<GMStoren> [Emerald] No kidding... talk about bad taste in decor. ;)
<GMStoren> « gack ^^ »
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 42: High Tension Wire | Location: Plant Palace, Lost Continent | 2831 Luc | Salamando's Day, Morning =-'
* Rachel sticks her tongue out at Cody slyly before turning back to the task at hand, heading for the door...
<Niki> «ooc: Lost Continent I. I wonder when we'll find Lost Continent II... »
<GMStoren> « Jurassic Park :D »
* Cody follows, chuckling a little.
<Niki> Er...oops
* Niki runs back into the portal. :o
<Rachel> <<So then we went out this door and we summoned Flammie and went really high in the sky and I said WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!>>
* Niki appears back in the other room, and runs through yet another portal appearing in the seed room. "Bye!" ^_^
* Niki backtracks back to the party. :D
<Chrys> «ooc: *grabs Rachel's gonads and strife* »
<Rachel> <<...my head hurts now, damnit. ;) Stupid movie.>>
<GMStoren> Going outside you can see Flammie nibbling on the brush off in the distance, while RHiana is sitting on a rock, still as a statue in meditation. Her hair is down, moving only faintly in the still air.
<Niki> «ooc: She's stiff from lack of food. :o »
<Cody> «ooc: Flammie, stop eating the pot! »
* Chrys ponders poking Rhiana to see if she falls over, but decides against it.
<Cody> (quietly) Rhiana?
<Rachel> ....well, good. One last trial.
<Rhiana> ...yes?
<Cody> We're ready to go...
<Cody> Are you ready? ^^; Do you need to do anything before we take off?
<Niki> «ooc: <Rhiana> We better be going to Home Town Buffet damnit! »
<Rachel> I have, uh, dried rabite...
<GMStoren> Drayd doesn't get to say anything to Niki as she does a drive by goodbye. ^^;
* Rhiana closes her eyes again and rolls her head around once before opening them both back up
<Rhiana> No..I'm fine.
* Rhiana stands up
<Rachel> Alright.
<Cody> Okay. Then let's get going, then. To Larace....
* Rhiana shrugs, "Sure."
* Niki runs up and hops on Flammie. "Hi."
* Rachel sighs softly to herself and then adopts a cool look, heading for Flammie. "Right."
<GMStoren> Flammie lifts her head from her breakfast "Rowr?"
* Cody puts a hand gently on Flammie's muzzles, "Hey girl..think you can take us to Larace today...?"
<Niki> «ooc: >> Flammie takes another bite and Niki hears a voice. "HEEELLLP MEEE...GRRAAAAHHH!" »
* Chrys shrugs and follows.
<Chrys> «ooc: "grah"? »
<GMStoren> « LOL »
<GMStoren> « "I'm mellllttttiiiiinnnggg.." »
<Cody> «ooc: Muzzle, even. Flammie does not have dual muzzles :o »
<GMStoren> Flammie nods her fluffy draconic countenance once in response, and stretches her wings testingly, a little stiff. ^^
* Rhiana stretches out some awaiting the others to get on Flammie
* Rachel listens to Cody's words as she climbs on...she offers him a hand up behind her... "C'mon, stud..."
* Cody takes her hand, and hauls himself up, "Thanks... ^^"
* Chrys hops on Flammie. By Dr. Seuss.
<Chrys> «ooc: Er, OOC that last part. »
<GMStoren> « heh »
* Tori wordlessly climbs aboard.
* Rachel nods a little and takes a good grip on Flammie, looking to the sky...
* Rahne quietly clambers up, nuzzling against the warm fur.. *
<Niki> «ooc: >> Rachel chokes Flammie! »
* Rhiana climbs on last, yawning slightly, "How nice that was..."
*** Nadia (Fluff@dhcp-129-64-147-154.dorm.brandeis.edu) has joined #Pureland
* Rachel chuckles softly to herself, murmuring about owing Emerald for a good night's rest.
<Niki> Okay, take us to....umm.
* Niki scratches her head. "where?"
<Niki> ^^;
<Rachel> Larace, Niki. ^^;
<Niki> Yeah, that place.
<GMStoren> With everyone aboard, Flammie takes off into the morning sky, leaving a trail of kicked up dirt and leaves as she does so. Soon the palace is but a speck beneath you.
*** GMStoren sets mode: +v Nadia
<Chrys> Larece, Rache. Gah, how do you expect to be a mercenary if you can't even get the names of towns right? ^_-
<Nadia> << You're a good GM %D >>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: :O »
* Rachel blushes faintly. "Jeez....! What, you want me to swing a mean sword -and- be intelligent, Chrys? Too much!"
<GMStoren> The ocean stretches far and wide in many directions, and Flammie circles a efw times to get her bearings, then begins flapping steadily northwards.
* Rhiana ponders adding her two luc to this, but thinks better of it.
<GMStoren> Emerald laughs.
* Rahne looks out to the distant and rising sun, still low on the horizon.. *
* Tori stares out over the sea, towards the north.
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 42: High Tension Wire | Location: In the Air | 2831 Luc | Salamando's Day, Morning =-'
<Tori> (q) "One last trial...."
* Cody smiles and looks at the surroundings around him.
* Rachel looks down at the water... "....pretty..."
<Rachel> <<...GDJG STOP CHANNELING EREL>>
<Cody> Yeah...
* Cody reaches out a little and puts his hand on one of Rachel's own. "...Not quite as pretty as you, though..."
<GMStoren> You notice sound islands go by off to your left... one of them seems to house a very old, worn looking tower. But from this height you can't be sure what it may be exactly...
<GMStoren> « er some ^^ »
* Chrys mutters to himself. "Gag me with a spoon."
* Rachel blinks in surprise and looks at Cody in amazement for a moment before lowering her eyes....she mumbles a rough 'thank you', blushing furiously.
<Cody> You're welcome... ^^;
<GMStoren> « *inserts random DNW char stuff* ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Sigh. DNW ;_; »
<GMStoren> « sad :( »
* Rachel intertwines her fingers with Cody's and holds onto his hand as she watches the islands pass...
<GMStoren> the archipelago winds it's way north parallell to your route, as the north continent begins to appear on the horizon, marked by a row of small mountains and rolling hills. There seems to be a haze around them though...
<Cody> «ooc: ...I randomly want to bust out into song now. »
* Chrys looks at Rachel and Cody, and then looks over his shoulder at Rahne lightly nuzzling the white fur of Flammie...
<Rachel> <<~ WIIIIIIIIISHIN ON A DREAM THAT SEEEEEEEEEEEMS FAR OFFFFFFF! ~>>
<Cody> «ooc: I need to talk to Rahne. But even if I do, she'll still be sad. ;_; I can't help it now. I destroyed her ;_; »
<Rachel> Huh...
<GMStoren> Coming closer, you notice the entire sky around you darken considerably.
* Cody begins to look a touch nervous.
<GMStoren> [Flammie Rowrrrr.... *growls low*]
<GMStoren> [Flammie] Rowrrrr.... *growls low*
* Rachel tenses and releases Cody's hand, resting her hand on her hilt of her sword...
<Cody> «ooc: Do we have to pass through any flux bubbles?! :D »
<Chrys> ...Thaaaat would be the moon mana beastie.
<GMStoren> « kill alias. stabbity stab ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: fux bubbles »
<Rahne> << She'll do what she needs to do.  No have tears. >>
<Rachel> <<Stab stab stabbity stab! <Louise> You're -Satan-. The DEVIL! *points*>>
<Chrys> O_o
<GMStoren> The artificial darkness permeates everything, not unlike the Moon palace in the Mirage Desert.... from what you can see through the night there are two settlements to the west and east from you. The darkness seems much thicker around the western one.
<Chrys> «ooc: *tosses the duck into the ocean to see if she can float* »
<Rachel> Mm..
<Cody> «ooc: It's like we're in Treno! :D »
* Rahne slowly turns to see.. *
<GMStoren> From what you can guess, the one to the east should be Southtown.
<Chrys> Well, looks like we know where we're going.
<Cody> ...This is so creepy...
<Cody> There aren't even any stars...
<GMStoren> Far to the north in the lands of vandole, the darkness is completely obscuring.
* Rachel turns her gaze away...
<Rhiana> ...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Creepy isn't it...
<Chrys> ...We get the point. It's creepy. Ooo.
<Rachel> . o O (Like hanging death...)
<Tori> Nobody's missing them, Cody. I doubt the people here even bother to look to the sky anymore...
<Niki> «ooc: Is this the same thing that Niki and Flammie saw that one time? »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well, how about we shed some light on this dismal situation? Larece should be by the mountains.. they have mines extending down to search for relics there.
<GMStoren> « yep. :) »
<GMStoren> « just from the reverse end. »
<Cody> ...I'm sure some people do...the sky is right above our heads, after all ^^;
<Niki> I remember this thing.  It was near that one place too.
<Tori> You only look up if there's somethin worth hoping for. These people don't have that luxury anymore.
* Rhiana gazes towards the Empire lands.....but stays silent
<Cody> ...Is Freedom from oppression hope enough?
<GMStoren> Flammie hovers above the scene, as if waiting for something.
* Chrys gives Flammie a Scooby Snack
<Chrys> «ooc: Erk! OOC! »
<GMStoren> « LOL »
* Rachel leans down and murmurs to Flammie. "You heard my partner...let's head for that mountain range and the mines there..."
<GMStoren> « Dwaggy Powaaaaa! »
<Cody> «ooc: Rook Rout, Rody! »
* Cody tenses a bit more.
<GMStoren> Flammie complies, and starts descending into the misty air towards the mountainside. Several moments pass as the land comes closer and closer, and your view clears somewhat. You can see what appears to be a fortress carved into the mountain itself, surrounded by a network of mines, and settlements. It looks very new and advanced, but there is something about it that disturbs you...
<Tori> I don't think these people could care any less about whether there free or not..most of them would just like to know for sure they'll wake up tomorrow.
* Rachel narrows her eyes throughtfully.. "Hmm..."
* Cody sighs sadly and shakes his head at Tori.. --;
* Niki looks onward.
<Chrys> .oO(Like you, Tori? ...geez, what the hell are you hiding from us...? I know it has to do with this town...)
<GMStoren> You land in a field a distance away, amidst a grove of scrub pines growing in the dry climate. Flammie lowering herself to allow everyone off.
* Rachel strokes Flammie's fur gently. "Thanks, girl..."
* Rachel slides off Flammie and looks about...
* Niki slides down Flammie's leg and hops off.

* Cody pats Flammie in thanks, and hops off.
* Rahne clambers down and slowly surveys the area.. *
* Chrys hops off Flammie just like everyone else.
<GMStoren> the minute you disembark, you begin to hear strange howls rise up from the area.
<Rachel> ....woah.
* Cody blinks, "...Dolan...?"
<Cody> «ooc: Tht's his name, right? Dolan? ^^ »
* Rahne raises her ears.. *
<GMStoren> « yep ^^ »
<GMStoren> It begins again, the cry of a wolf carried on the foreboding air. Aroooooo....
* Rachel grips her sword tightly but doesn't draw it...
* Tori pulls his cap lower, obscuring his face.
<Rachel> <<Yey! We get to fight my favorite enemy? :o >>
<GMStoren> « you like werewolves? :) »
<Rachel> <<Yes ^^>>
* Niki actually does draw her axe.
<Cody> «ooc: We need to fight a vampire :D »
<Rachel> ...let's get moving. 
<Cody> «ooc: Mr. Ketts: AAH! New victim!! »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Guess we got here just in time for the welcoming party... *fades into Rachel's head* ^^
* Rachel shivers. ^^;
<Chrys> «ooc: CODY O_O »
<Chrys> «ooc: BAD REFERENCE »
<Cody> «ooc: FFA rocks your socks ^^ »
<GMStoren> From the grove where you are, the plains extend to the north and west around some other trees. You find it's really hard to see clearly.
<GMStoren> « LOl »
<GMStoren> « i should have a Mr Ketts ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Have him stick Cody in a casket! »
<Cody> «ooc: Stick everyone in a casket! We're all dark enough :D »
<Rahne> << He should do it to Rhiana.  She'd make a good Vampiress. >>
* Rachel glances at the others... "...suggestions?"
<Niki> Kick butt?
<Cody> ...I could try lighting the way...like I did in Shade's palace...but I can't do so forever...
<Chrys> Hm...
<Niki> «ooc: In Shade's place I had that orb thing. ^^; »
* Chrys closes his eyes and slowly chants something...
* Chrys pulls out a dagger...
<GMStoren> Niki's ring on her finger seems to pulse and shiver a moment, and Flammie takes off into the skies above, watching from her vantage point.
* Niki shakes ever so slightly, not enough for anyone to notice though as she is supressing it.

* Rachel narrows her eyes.. "Save your strength, we'll probably need it."
* Cody nods a little...
<Chrys> Salamando, Shade, hear my plea... light the way with your unholy blaze...
* Rachel slowly begins to trudge north...
* Cody follows closely behind Rachel.
* Rhiana sighs and snaps her fingers, summoining a lightball to her hand
<GMStoren> >> Chrys casts Hellfire Edge, and the metal upon the dagger burns white hot, giving unsteady lumination to the surroundings.
* Chrys waves a hand at Rhiana. "Save your magic. You'll need every bit of it you can muster. I'm not quite as magically inclined, I can spare some."
* Rachel murmurs... "Good man."
* Rhiana shrugs, "I'm pretty well trained. This is nothing."
* Chrys shrugs in return. "Fine then, can't hurt."
<Rachel> <<Wow, that's fucking awesome quality for a 96 Kbps mp3...jesus.>>
<Niki> «ooc: ^^; »
<Rhiana> ...I do meditate for a reason..not just to drown you all out...
<GMStoren> There is indeed two paths to take, north and west. The fortress is looming in the northwest of where you are. You get the feeling you're being watched,
* Niki sticks her ring out wondering if she can also have a spiffy type of light.
<Chrys> Fair enough.
* Rahne steps lightly, silently, her ears remaining upright in a state of constant alertness.. *
<GMStoren> Niki's ring glows green.
* Chrys looks about nervously, holding up his blade like a torch..
<Rachel> ....
<GMStoren> [Flora] Sister shouldn't be scared of the dark...
* Cody closes his eyes, trying to feel his way around somehow...
* Rachel murmurs... "Rahne...? Do you hear anything..? Where are they...?"
<Niki> Yeah well...^^;;
* Cody then notes that closing his eyes isn't too bright and opens them. ^^;
<Rachel> <<Teamwork! :D>>
<Chrys> «ooc: *grope!* <Cody> Wow, this cave wall is soft and squeezy... <Rachel> That's, um, not the wall...but by no means should you stop! ^^ »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Rachel> <<*wedgies Chrys*>>
* Rahne quietly replies, under her breath. * ..Just to the north.. something.. many somethings..? are moving..
* Rachel narrows her eyes... "...great..."
* Rahne follows up.. * Quick breathing too.. nervous.. or anxious..
<GMStoren> « wow, I like the suspense here. ^_^ »
* Rachel shakes her head and draws her sword slowly.. "Let's try and avoid them..."
* Chrys mutters to Rahne. "Kind of like us."
<Rhiana> ...you guys are so melodramatic.
* Chrys shrugs. "We do what we know, Rahne."
<Chrys> «ooc: Rahne = Rhi »
* Rachel heads slightly to the west before cutting north...
* Chrys follows Rache quickly..
* Cody tries to keep his fears down, quietly following Rachel's outline, trying not to get lost.
<Cody> «ooc: Lost is bad! Lost is lostness! »
* Tori trudges along with the others, silently wondering how much of thsi graveyard will have changed.
<Rachel> <<If you get lost, I'll hafta strip off my clothes and find you! .....what? You know, to stay silent. Naked is silent. Uhm. Yeah.>>
<GMStoren> A few small lights shift in and out of your view as you turn west, the path leading around a few more trees, seeming to struggle to cling and live. Some are twisted into shapes that almost seem like monsters, but your light quickly shows they are no threat.
* Rachel grits her teeth and tries to control her breathing...
* Niki slowly follows.
<GMStoren> There's another fork in the rough trail, one going to your right back north, and another weaving farther west.
<Niki> Why can't there be signs saying 'This is the right way'?
* Rachel considers the fork and turns slightly towards Rahne, silently asking.
<Chrys> Because that would be too easy, Niki.
<Niki> So.
* Rahne speaks quietly.. * Whispers.. to the west.. but I can't tell what they're saying..
<Rachel> <<We make a good team! :D Teamwork! :D .... *shoots herself*>>
* Cody gacks and trips over something! O_o
<Rahne> ..sorry..

<Cody> Oof!
* Rahne flinches at the noise. *
<GMStoren> cody's foot is caught in a root of one of the trees.
* Rachel hisses through her teeth in pain. "Ow. What the hell, Cody...?"
<Cody> S...Sorry...I tripped...
* Rahne sees what happens and goes to see if she can get it out, her heart still racing.. *
* Chrys walks up to the ball of Cody and Rachel, looking down and offering them a hand up. "Have fun down there...?"
<Cody> ^^; Ehehe...
<GMStoren> The falling raises a bit of noise, but Cody is easily freed.
<Cody> I just hope I didn't twist my ankle...
* Rachel swallows nervously and grabs Chrys' hand, tensed for danger..
<Rahne> Careful, Cody..
<Cody> Thank you, Rahne...
* Cody tries to stand up...
* Rahne nods a bit.. * You okay..?
<GMStoren> You hear rustling to the west, like something's walking towards you.
* Niki silently wait. ^^;
* Rachel inhales.
<Rachel> Guys..
<Cody> I think I--...
* Cody turns around quickly to the noise.
<Rachel> To the north. C'mon.
* Chrys tenses and draws his other knife, nodding and heading north.
* Cody follows Rachel, hobbling just slightly.
* Niki follows.
* Rahne follows.. * Did you need help.. if only for a bit?
* Rachel glances back at Cody worriedly..
<Chrys> «ooc: Say yes! Make Rahne feel important! »
<GMStoren> Drawing away from the sounds, you veer north a good distance until you come upon a structure. It seems like a guard post, but noone's inside.
<Rachel> <<Damnit, wait, we just missed good EXP. Let's go back!>>
* Cody nods, "..I'd appreciate it..."
<GMStoren> « lol ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Certainly, Karn. »
* Rachel exhales softly...
<GMStoren> It seems like the table inside was ripped by a huge claw mark. o_O
* Rachel blinks.
<Rachel> ....not a good sign...
* Chrys blinks and wideeyes. "That...looks like whatever's in the forest. Funzies."
* Cody gulps a little.
<Tori> It only gets better from here. . .
* Rahne nods back, and takes Cody's arm and rests it over her shoulders, letting him lean a bit.. * Is it bothering you less?

<Cody> Yeah...it should be okay in a few minutes...thank you... 
* Cody smiles. ^^
* Rachel watches Rahne and Cody for a moment, nodding slightly in relief...she then looks to Tori.
<GMStoren> The path seems to hit a thick bunch of trees up ahead...
<Tori> I don't know anything that'll "save our asses" aside from not going in the first place.
<Chrys> «ooc: God, I love how this RPG constantly has such contrast... <Two random PCs> Serious talk. <Two other PCs> Angst! <Two more PCs> ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ :D »
* Rahne looks away, hiding her own smile, but Rahne's wagging tail, thwapping Cody gently on the bottom, gives her away. *
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<GMStoren> Out of it stumbles what looks to be a guardsman, staggering several steps before falling to the floor in pain.
<Chrys> «ooc: GOD THAT'S KINKY »
<Rahne> << Heh! ^^;; >>
<Rachel> <<SHE'S GETTING KINKY WITH MY MAN!>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ »

* Rachel heads for the man...
<Rachel> Are you okay...?
<Rahne> << No..  just..  she'd be wagging.. and that's what'd happen.  She's ashamed and hates her tail. ;_; >>
<Chrys> ...You know, he's on the ground, I don't -think- he'd be okay.
<Rahne> << If only Cody were taller, then it wouldn't seem so. ;_; >>
<Cody> Sir...
* Rachel hisses at Chrys. "Oh, shut up and save it for later, okay?"
<GMStoren> Rachel runs over and finds him almost curled up, screaming out in a dialect she's not familair with, holding his head.
* Rachel wideyes. "...erk."
<Cody> ...It's not anything physical...be careful!
<GMStoren> There's a gun not unlike the one Tori carried on his person, and the insignia of a dragon on his armor.
* Tori walks forward and kneels next to the man, speaking in what seems to be the same language in a calming voice.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: OOH :O The guy's yelling in ENGLISH? »
<Cody> «ooc: Spanglish! »
<GMStoren> [Man] Aargh... the voices... make them stop...!

* Rachel twitches a little and allows Tori to take over, gazing at the interaction curiously..
* Cody watches quietly, "...So he's..."
* Niki ...is still quiet.
* Chrys nods. "From Larece. Not like he hasn't left signs."
<Tori> {Calm Down..just breathe.}
* Rachel looks about nervously...
<GMStoren> [Man] {It's the beast... he's going for Carmine... must...}
<GMStoren> As Tori tries to speak to him he seems to jerk violently, and glow with a yellow aura. In a matter of seconds, he begins to morph into a grotesque werewolf. o_O
<Cody> Tori! Look out! O_o
<Chriswizard> «ooc: OOH :O It's Kevin! »
<Rachel> ...hell!
<GMStoren> [Wolf] Arooooo!
* Chrys raises his eyebrow, drawing his knives and stepping up to Tori.
* Tori steps back and draws his relic pistol.
<Niki> ....ewwwww
<GMStoren> Tori barely drops back to avoid getting a nasty scrape.
* Rachel levels her sword at the werewolf...
<Rachel> <<...Yey! WEREWOLF!>>
<Tori> Well..that was productive.
<GMStoren> >> Combat! :o
* Cody gulps a bit.
<Cody> ...Well...that make over didn't help him any, did it?
<GMStoren> >> 1 Werewolf advances on the group!
* Chrys glances at Tori, hissing at him in his own tongue, albeit with a slight accent. "{Tori, I don't know what you've been through, and I'll stop asking. Just help us through here. I don't know Larece as well as you obviously do. Deal?}"
<Rachel> . o O (...I can do this...)

<Cody> Chrys...Be more careful! ^^;
* Rachel blinks and nods slightly, grinning.
* Chrys winces, holding the cuts on his chest. "Duh.."
<GMStoren> >> Rahne uses herculean overload.. Strength up 14!
<Niki> «ooc: UMMM!!! »
<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
<Niki> «ooc: I hate to mention this...but. ^^; »
* Tori -§ö§-begins to chant. A large pool of water rises up from the ground, surrounding Chrys and for a brief moment, pain and battle are forgotten -Purity of soul and source of all life: Cure Water!-§ö§-
<Niki> «ooc: I hate being totally fair. ^^; »

* Cody twirls his staff, "...Out of our way!"
<Niki> «ooc: But isn't str up considered a positive status? »
<Cody> Terror that lies beyond the edge of eyes, circling horror of faded memory, awaken and remind us of why we fear that which is best left forgotten!
* Cody spins his staff around above his head, then slams it down into the ground. From it springs a near-invisible spherical distortion that tears apart anything in its path, including the hapless tagret!
<Tori> {Don't worry...I have a feeling you won't owe me it for long.}
<GMStoren> >> Cody uses Unseen savage! the wolf is battered by the magic especially hard... 202 damage!
* Cody grins. ^^
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<Niki> Uhh...
<GMStoren> « yay for being buff but no magic D. ;) »
<Chrys> Niki! Hit it!
<GMStoren> [Werewolf] *growl* :o
* Niki points the ring and shines the green light at its face.
<Niki> There it is!
<Chrys> «ooc: Shinesman MOSS GREEN! »
* Niki runs up and slashes it.
<GMStoren> « lol ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Niki blinds the monster long enough to hack at it really good... 127 damage! Her charge is already at max.
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
<Rachel> Wicked ways, twisted and torn, on nails of hatred my heart was worn...echoes of insanity, tight and hollow, chaotic intentions, so hard to swallow...listen....listen well...
* Rachel 's aura arches outwards, the dark green edged with pure white, and her eyes glow eerily. Her voice holds a low, mocking note. "Listen to my sadistic whisper and bathe in the pain that fury brings." Rachel lunges forward, the sword shining with fiery light as she attacks the Werewolf viciously!
* Rhiana draws her whip, "Are these things...weak to anything?"
<Chrys> Yeah, Rhi. Magic. I'd gather Dryad'd work well on 'em if they're moon monsters.
* Rhiana grunts
<Rhiana> ..something I haven't trained..

* Chrys seathes his blades and clenches his fists, a red aura forming around them.
<Chrys> Salamando, looks like it's time to kick things up a notch...
* Chrys holds out his fists, shooting out the aura, which fades into an invisible waver. A few seconds later, the werewolf falls onto their knees, doubled over with a sharp pain!
<Rhiana> «ooc: Essense of an Idiot »
<GMStoren> « flash? ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Indeed. »
<GMStoren> >> Chrys uses Hot Flash! Flames tear at the humanoid, as the air is filled with the smell of burnt fur. 81 damage! Defense Down!
<GMStoren> >> now Rhiana's turn. ^^
* Rhiana grunts, "Well, there's something else I can do."
* Rhiana polishes her boot
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<GMStoren> « that an action? ;) »
* Rhiana licks her finger
* Rhiana tests the wind
<Rachel> <<WTF!>>
* Rhiana moves a few steps to the left..
* Rachel blinks at Rhi. ^^;
* Rhiana then dashes towards the first warewolf, and kicks him square in the privy
<Cody> «ooc: WHOO! NUTCRACKER! ^^ »
* Chrys watches Rhi with faint amusement before lightly wincing at the blow.
<Niki> «ooc: warewolf....impressive. »
* Rachel chuckles softly. "Niiiice."
<Rhiana> «ooc: er...ugh »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I can't spell »
* Cody turns green. O_o
<Chrys> Damn, Rhi. I felt that.
<GMStoren> The werewolf lunges at Rhiana as she draws close, but promptly gets a look of pain as she plants her foot somewhere.. wvery painful. o_O;
* Cody crosses his legs unconsciously.
<Cody> «ooc: ;) »
<Rachel> That's one wolf that won't be fatherin' any pups. ^_-

<Rhiana> «ooc: God that's a cool name for a move ;) »
<GMStoren> « the scary aprt is, you lwoered his def for this.. lol ^^ »
* Rachel looks over at Cody in amusement.
<GMStoren> >> 166 damage! The wolf crumples over, but doesn't look out of the fight just yet...
<GMStoren> >> The werewolf lunges at Cody!
<Cody> Hey! O_o
* Cody tries to raise his staff in defense!
<GMStoren> [Werewolf] RRrragrgh!
* Rhiana looks at everyone, "What? Attack your enemy's weakpoint."
<Rahne> << Doh. ;_;  I -knew- I should have done the parry thing.  Fail. ;_; >>
<Rahne> << err..  the defend thing. >>
<Rachel> <<lol. O_o * Cody tries to get away but his legs are crossed and he falls down! ;_; * Werewolf mauls Cody! <Niki> Ha ha! What a loser!!!>>
<GMStoren> >> Cody gets bite rather hard once, then bats the wolf away. 1: WHACKED! 221! 2: Missed!
* Cody has a rather nice bite on his stomach, and stumbles back, blood dribbling through his hands...
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.

* Rahne slashes upwards with the blade of her spear, catching the Werewolf full in the face! Adding insult to injury, after completing the arcing slash, Rahne then smashes the butt of her spear square into her opposition, knocking them off their feet and sending them skidding backwards across the ground!! *

<Tori> {No...something wickeds made its home here.}
* Rachel stands and nods to Rahne...
* Cody 's wound closes for the most part, although he still looks a little sore, "...Hopefully I won't turn into one of them or anything. ...People would start thinking I was a girl again with long hair. ^_-"
<Chrys> ...That was a little obvious, Tori. So it's Doreen or whatever the Moon Beast's name is that's doin' this?

<Cody> Uh.. ^^;
<Niki> «ooc: No, its Masa and Mune. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Bah. »
* Cody blushes a little. ^^
<GMStoren> The place seems silent again, and you notice the werewolf slowly revert back to a normal person, in tatters from the fighting.
* Rachel tugs Cody to his feet before turning to gaze at the fallen man...
<GMStoren> [Man] Ugh...
<Chrys> THAT would be what Dryad meant about being careful, I take it.
* Rahne sags a little, lamenting inside her inability to protect.. *
* Cody carefully takes a step towards the man, "...Sir? Are you okay now?"
<Rachel> <<O_o You -did- protect him. I'm confused. What. ;_; I even nodded my thanks!>>
<Rachel> <<* Heather's head explodes.>>
<Rahne> << I let him get hit. ;_;  For 221 damage, no less.  Fail. ;_; >>
* Chrys steps in front of Cody. "Keep back."
<Rachel> <<...!>>
<Chrys> If he's not a werewolf any more, he's probably bleeding far too much to be "okay".
* Rachel murmurs... "Tori? Can you speak with him or is he too far gone?"
<Cody> ...I could heal him. We might be able to get information...
<GMStoren> He only seems to be semi conscious, and not speaking clearly.
* Tori walks over and examines the man's wounds.
<Tori> {Sir? Can you hear me Dragoon?}
* Chrys shakes his head and moves out of the way.
<Chrys> .oO(Dragoon...?)
<GMStoren> He's got a few slash marks from the group's strikes, but he's not bleeding too heavily. You notice he's got rather long brown hair, and seems very young.
<Niki> .oO( This place sucks. )

<Cody> My hair isn't that long anymore! ^^;
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] {Wh..what happened?}
<Tori> {Nothing..you just has a slight...er..attack, for a second}

<Tori> {Can you stand?}
<Cody> «ooc: Dragoon: Of course!...Just a flesh wound! »
* Chrys listens to the conversation intently..
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] {I can't feel my legs too good... have the beasts attacked again?}
<Tori> {It looks that way...how bad has it been?}

<Niki> «ooc: I'll prolly switch back before the god beast fight though. »
<GMStoren> The Larecian notices everyone finally, and his voice abruptly switches tones. "....you are not from here, are you...?"
<Chrys> Some of us are. Some aren't.
* Rachel nods slightly
<Chrys> Most aren't.
* Cody nods as well.
* Tori shoots a look at Chrys.
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] You should run while you can... the Moon Godbeast has attacked the palace just moments before this fog come around. I was looking for help...

<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Tori> What happened?
<Chrys> I take it they all suffered a similar fate to him, or worse.
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] Monsters started appearing, led my a fearsome wolf creature... we didn't stand a chance. Some tried to fight... others ran screaming...
<Cody> «ooc: See, they were all killed by Luca Blight and...THE UNICORN BRIGADE! ;_; »
<Niki> «ooc: Cody, down boy down. »
* Rachel grimaces at the thought.
<Cody> «ooc: *cries for the poor boys of the UB* »
<Chrys> Fearsome wolf creature. The godbeast...
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] Prince Carmine's... still inside there...
<Cody> ...This is worse than I thought it'd be...-_-;
<Tori> Where were the senior staff? There must have been some left if there's enough of you to restart the Junior Guard.
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] They should still be there... they were going to use some kind of new weapon in the mines we found as a last ditch effort...
<Chrys> ...Weapon?
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] And here I thought we'd finally had some peace for a change...
<Chrys> Something like those...what'd you call 'em? Guns of yours..?
* Rachel murmurs... "Don't like the sound of that..."
<Tori> (q)"Peace?"
<GMStoren> The soldier cough another few times, and tries to stand up, but cannot.
<Cody> Wait..
* Niki sits down and waits.
* Cody walks carefully to the man, placing a glowing green hand on his shoulder.
* Rachel watches Cody intently..
* Tori wraps an arm around the young soldier's shoulder and attempts to help him up
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] *notices the glow as he's healed rapidly* ...just who ARE you?
<Cody> «ooc: Vitae Soul on the Dragoon Man! :D »
<Cody> ...A friend.
* Chrys nods. "That's all that matters."
* Cody smiles. :)
* Rachel allows fondness to drift across her face at the words before she shakes her head...
<GMStoren> The young man is helped to his feet by Tori.
<Tori> CAn you show us the way?
<Rachel> <<Can you? Can you show us the way to Jebus? Praise lord!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Amen!! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Hallelujah! »
<GMStoren> [Dragoon] I can, yes... thank you. And... you can call me Rudy... I'm a Cadet in the Guard of Larece.
<Cody> «ooc: Rudy Roughnight! »
<Rachel> <<Fuck, it's that old dude from Survivor.>>
<Chrys> Rudy.
* Chrys nods. "Lead the way."
<Cody> It's nice to meet you, Rudy.
* Rachel says nothing, letting the others speak as she waits for them to get a move on..

<GMStoren> [Rudy] Larece isn't too far ahead... but I'm warning you, I don't know what might be happening in the city now...
<Cody> «ooc: Hi rune! :D »
<GMStoren> He starts hobbling forward, up the path helped by Tori.
*** GMStoren sets mode: -m
* Cody follows behind quietly.
* Rachel keeps step beside Cody..
<Tori> How many years have you been in the academy?
* Niki stands up and also follows.
* Chrys trails behind everyone else, keeping up the rear.
<GMStoren> [Rudy] This is my first on active duty... they drafted me to help with the reconstruction of a police force to help get things under control after all the fighting.
<Rachel> Guess it wasn't your lucky day, huh?
<Tori> So the palace hierarchy and the government are back in place?
<GMStoren> [Rudy] Well, you could say that... prince Carmine's been trying to get us back on track. I admire him, but it's still tough... though all we worked for could be for nothing soon... -_-
<Chrys> Not if we can help it.
<GMStoren> the city starts to loom in the distance as you weave your way through the forests. You can see the sturdy walls have been breached by something, marred by very familiar claw marks. Whee.
<Rachel> <<ow. *drops frozen pork on her toes* ....stupid freezer.>>
<Cody> «ooc: WHEEE! »
<GMStoren> « why did I type that »
<GMStoren> « gah ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Because you love us.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Oh my god, and then we saw these claw marks and hten my stomach got gouged out and I was all like....WHEEE! »
* Rachel tenses a little at the marks..
<Chrys> «ooc: Cody... I BLOW YOU UP LIKE A BOMB GO BOOM »
<Cody> «ooc: ;) »
<GMStoren> [Rudy] the monster... if only I could've...
<Tori> {You did all you could. The Academy would be proud.}
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 42: High Tension Wire | Location: Kingdom of Larece | 2930 Luc | Salamando's Day, Morning =-'
* Chrys picks up the pace a little, unconsciously slipping into the old tongue now that he's gotten back to using it. "{Don't dwell on it. That's not good for ya.}"
<Chrys> «ooc: Damn you, Tori, for beating me to it. »
* Rachel walks along silently, thinking..
<GMStoren> [Rudy] {Hearing my tongue spoken is at least encouraging. I just wish you could have come home to a nicer sight.
* Chrys shrugs.
<Tori> {Home...right.}
<GMStoren> You reach the wall itself, stepping over some rubble into the city itself. It reminds you a lot of Pandora in ways, but everywhere you look there is indication of generous use of machinery in daily life. Most engines are cracked and sputtering steam into the air, and shapes move back and forth through the streets.
<GMStoren> There are the bodies of several fallen Dragoons littered about, as well as that of werewolves, indications of a battle being fought at the gates.
<Tori> Be it ever so humble. . .
<Mia_Sleep> << Shapes: Wheee! >> 
<Chrys> Well, isn't -this- wonderful.  It's like steampunk gone gothic.
<GMStoren> Tori notices the ever present citizens of the day: the crows. They watch from their perches in silence.
<Rachel> . o O (So much death...)
* Cody retches slightly.
<Tori> ?me looks up at the birds, transfixed for a moment.
<Tori> <gah...crap -_->>
<Cody> «ooc: *hugs Tori* ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: * Cody vomits on Rachel and Rahne! <Rachel> Ech! Cody! <Rahne> ...worthless.. ;_; »
* Rachel reaches out to touch Cody's back.
<GMStoren> [Rudy] The cursed crows... when will the day come we see wings of white and not black again?
<Rachel> <<....damnit, Chrys ;)>>
<Tori> Soon...
* Chrys glances at Tori and Rudy. "Come on."
*** Mia_Sleep is now known as Mia_Sleep_Really_I_Swear
<GMStoren> There seems to be a large group of the distant stalkers up ahead by the castle, as howls rise up from them.
<Rachel> <<Mmm....cold mini pizzas. :P~~ Unmelted cheese! Wooo!>>
<GMStoren> « Imagine narshe only more war torn. ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Like I said, Steampunk gone gothic. »
<Rachel> <<Without the chick with the green hair in the mech, huh? Damnit.>>
<GMStoren> The gates are taking a beating from the horde, and behind them you can hear the sound of harsh gears grinding on the wind.
<Rachel> ...
<GMStoren> « I have to end soon unfortunately.. ^^ »
* Cody gulps, "We could be in trouble..."
<Rachel> <<No offense...but yay! I can sleep! And then I go to work!>>
<Rachel> Who? Us? Nah. Never us.
<Cody> «ooc: Guess what I get to do, Heather? »
<Rachel> <<Read Jane Eyre!>>
<Cody> «ooc: READ MORE JANE EYRE! (Shoots herself!!! >:D) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Masturbate! »

<Chrys> «ooc: DEAR GOD THAT IS DISTURBING »
<Chrys> «ooc: AUGH DEK »
<Cody> «ooc: Thank god It's just reading. ^^; But I want to read at least half. It's OVER 100 pages. It's nuts. »
<Rahne> << I wish I could remember my original Jane Eyre essay. ;_; >>
<GMStoren> [Rudy] It's only a matter of time... something must be going on behind the gate, I just wish I knew what.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: What is maturbate? »
* Chrys grins. "Let's finde out."
<Rachel> <<CHRIS>>
<Rachel> Yes. Lets.
<Niki> «ooc: ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O.o? »
<Chrys> «ooc: When you take out your thingie and rub it a lot »
<Chrys> «ooc: :P »
<Rachel> <<www.masturbation.com>>
<GMStoren> As if in answer to the inquires and boldness of Rachel & Chrys, the gates groan once, and suddenly fly open...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: o.o. »
* Rahne grips her spear tightly.. *
* Rachel raises both eyebrows and grins faintly. "....ask and ye shall recieve...."
* Niki holds her axe ready.
<Cody> ...Oh goddess...you two so asked for it... -_-;
<GMStoren> On the other side you can see what could only be described as a huge cannon... before it fills the whole field of your vision with white and a resounding sonice boom! o_O
<Rachel> ...y....yaaaaaaah!
<Cody> AGH! O_o
* Cody clutches at his eyes!
* Chrys dives out of the way!
<GMStoren> The area floods with spiritual energy, as even Emerald is knocked ajar of her resting place by it.
* Rachel stumbles to the side, holding her face... "Nnhh!"
* Rahne is deafened, and simply bowled over by the force of the blast! * Aaaaahhhhh!
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Ack! That's some Mana Gun!

<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Cody is thrown back against some sort of machine, and stops moving.
<Niki> «ooc: BRO »
<GMStoren> Rudy is knocked over, already weak, and as the smoke clears you see a huge scorch mark where hundreds of evil creatures stood once before.
* Niki was already to the side, but DAMN that was loud.
* Rachel winces as her vision clears.. "Jeez...wha..."
<GMStoren> Someone yells. "Hah... Larece's secret weapon!"
* Chrys blinks, calling out. "{Uhmmm...effective. Please don't shoot it again?}"
<Niki> «ooc: Moonstone Cannon...FIRE! »
<GMStoren> « basically ^^ »
* Tori picks himself up off the ground.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Astro CANNON UBER ATTACK SOMETHINGORTHEOTHER! »
* Rachel rubs at her eyes and looks about...she blinks...
<GMStoren> [Rudy] That was... unbelievable..!
* Rahne flicks her ears, rubbing them.. trying to stop the ringing.. * ;_;
<GMStoren> Several gunners roll the barrel of the huge gun as it smokes, pivoting it on a stand, and firing again into a distant street. You hear yells of agony as more monster die, and another shockwave accompanies.
* Cody is slumped against one of the machines.
* Rachel rushes unevenly towards the still form of Cody, stumbling slightly...
* Niki gets slightly aggrivated.
* Chrys winces. "{Uh... Tori? There's no talking sense into these guys, is there?}"
* Rahne gets to her feet.. dizzied, and clamping her hands down over her sensitive ears.. *
* Rachel slides to her knees and gently shakes Cody... "...wake up...c'mon....bad, bad, bad place to sleep..."
<Tori> {Probably not when they've found a new toy in the mines to play with...}
<Chrys> {That
<Chrys> «ooc: EVIL »
<GMStoren> You can make out the figure of a regally dressed man with silver hair blowing in the breeze, situated above the cannon.
<Cody> ...mmmm....
<Chrys> {That's what I'm afraid of.}
* Cody 's head lolls onto Rachel's shoulder.
<Niki> «ooc: Sephiroth wants to kill us. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: <Cody> Zzz. SNORE. :D »
* Chrys raises an eyebrow, looking at the figure on the cannon.
* Rachel blinks and exhales, picking Cody up in her arms and standing...
* Tori looks up, shocked.
<Chrys> {Tell me that's not who I think it is.}
<GMStoren> [Emerald] *cough* geez, that guy better not shoot at us...
* Rachel looks towards the man on the cannon...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Watch a temporal rift open and Cloud pop out! »
<GMStoren> He surveys the city once from his vantage, then points at the group, talking to his technicians.
<Chrys> «ooc: <Cloud> Dammit! Tifa's not here! I can't fight evil without my girlfriend and her massive jubblies! »
<Rachel> ....
<GMStoren> [Rudy] Prince Carmine... is alive... thank goodness.
* Tori quickly looks down again and pulls his cap lower.
* Rachel tenses, murmuring to the unconscious Cody.. "...if he fires on us... I will so rip him apart..."
<Chrys> {Fuck. It is.}
<Chrys> Guys, back off...
<GMStoren> [Guardsman] You there... identify yourselves!
<Chrys> I don't know much about this Carmine, but I know he has power at h...hell.
<Cody> «ooc: Hi, Leo! Where is the destiny! »
<GMStoren> [Guardsman] Friend or foe!
* Chrys turns over to the guardsman. "Friend. We've come to vanquish the source of your troubles.}"
* Rahne can't hear, her ears still ringing loudly.. *
<Chrys> «ooc: Uh, add a { to that. »
<GMStoren> « btw, there is a lot of distance between you btw ^^ »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: What are these {}'s? And are we closing soon? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Between who? Us and Carmine, or us and the guard? »
* Rachel glances at the proceedings, gently touching the blood running from Cody's head...she closes her eyes and chants....her hand glows briefly as she casts Divine Grace on Cody once more...
<Chrys> «ooc: Chris: Translated from Larece dialect. »
<Chrys> «ooc: And Yeah, we are. »
<GMStoren> The troopers pour outside of the gate, several senior Dragoons among them.
* Niki tries to imitate the weird ass language that Chrys and Tori have been using...doing really poorly. "{Cheese is I for plus stuff.}"
* Niki looks at Chrys. "What did I say?" ^^
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: ...I could really say screw Jane Eyre and just play SOM. My life sucks ;_; »
<GMStoren> « LOL »
<Rahne> << Heh! ^^;; >>
* Chrys looks at Niki. "Don't ask. Let's just say it's better not to try to pick up the dialect so early."
<GMStoren> [Guardsman] {So, you speak our language. And you have... Rudy! Is this reinforcements?}
<Niki> Okay...
<GMStoren> [Rudy] {Yes.. they came to help with the fighting... do not shoot!}
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Yeah! Cody and Rache woop your powerlevel! »

<GMStoren> [Guardsman] Very well.... get inside the gates, now... we're trying to draw out the b-
<Chrys> «ooc: "Beast? Blood? Boobies? What, man?!" »
<GMStoren> The whole area shakes violently, as the corpses of the fallen wolves begin to meld into one.
<Niki> «ooc: Butts! »
<Cody> «ooc: ...BUNNIES! »
<GMStoren> The moon becomes Eclipsed....
<Chriswizard> «ooc: BUNNIE :O »
<Cody> Uhh...
* Rachel inhales and hugs Cody closer to her, struggling before drawing her sword once more...
* Cody stirs a bit.
* Chrys looks at the corpses with a bit of a shocked expression. "Ladies and gentlemen, our beast."

<Chriswizard> «ooc: Ah, darn. I misread that as Rachel drawing Cody's sword ;_; I thought she perhaps she gave it to him ^_^ »
<Rachel> <<*kills Chris violently*>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Chris, you are SO damn innocent. »
<GMStoren> The soldier begin loking about frantically, while the prince points to the left, and debarks from his commandeering point, vanishing somewhere and yelling orders.
* Rachel draws back into the group, murmuring.. "C'mon, Cody...wake up...I can't fight and protect you at the same time..."
<Chrys> «ooc: <Carmine> Uh! You guys fire at the big beastie and I'll go hide in the corner and cry! »
* Niki already has her axe ready and well...charging pre-emptively.
<GMStoren> The shadows swirls and mix, and soon the area between the party and the cannon itself is occupied by a Werewolf as tall as several buildings!
<Rachel> ....hell.
* Chrys nudges Rachel lightly. "I'll protect him. S'the least I can do."
<Niki> «ooc: <Chrys> I'LL SAVE YOU »
<GMStoren> [Dolan] You want to fight me mortals?! Then let me see you try!!
* Cody winces a bit, "...loud..."
* Rachel glances at Chrys and nods slightly, lowering Cody between them... she raises her sword at Dolan. "Hey, sparky, time to get neutered."
<GMStoren> He rears back and lets go a deafening howl.... the crows begin to scatter... to await their meal...
<Cody> «ooc: Doh, you just put me down just when I was gonna wake up! ;) »
