<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
<Chrys> «ooc: Just gimme a direction to pose in »
<Cody> «ooc: brb »
<GMStoren> The sun rises upon the ancient skyline of Wendel, reflecting off of stained glass windows and rooftops. It penetrates the spots where the walls lay broken, and things shattered, scatterings it's rays across the walks in many directions. But the birds chirp, and the denizens rise, to face the new day. Chrys finds himself walking through the marketplace leading up to the square, still fairly quiet at this time of the day.
<GMStoren> At the end of the path is the main thoroughfare leading towards the main temple of the Order of Light. Somewhere within it's walls lay most of his friends resting, surely.
<Cody> «ooc: Surely....Resting...of COURSE...Hey, is that a bed squeaking? O_o »
* Chrys walks up the street towards the temple, occasionally looking around at various stalls, thinking to himself. Anyone who's seen him before now notices he's bought himself a change of clothes - he's draped in a blue and green tunic, black pants, and a green sash..
<Chrys> «ooc: Damn it all. I hear them getting ready. »
<Chrys> «ooc: I have a few minutes at best. »
<Cody> «ooc: Quick pose, then! Speed! »
<Roric> «ooc: >> Suddenly Chrys gets hit by a speeding carriage! »
<GMStoren> off to the west is the gardens and parks, while to the east is the guard towers, alive with activity as some knights are carting large stones to spots that will inevitably need patching up. ^^
<GMStoren> << sorry was a bit delayed there. >>
* Chrys continues to meander along, wondering idly to himself what's next, what the group has to do in this whole global reparation..
*** Chriswizard (Cwizard59@12-233-231-23.client.attbi.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
<GMStoren> As he approaches the temple a few Gemma Knights salute him, offering no resistance to entering the sanctuary grounds. There's quite a mess out front still from Lightgazer, but the entrance seems fairly intact and respectably sound.

*** ChanServ sets mode: +v Chriswizard
* Chrys steps in and idly taps his chin, stopping.. "Now where are the guest rooms, again? I can't remember where they told me..."
<GMStoren> Near the entrance as usual is the sage belguteii's office, filled with books and the aroma of herbs wafting from many beakers and pots aboil.
* Roric hops down from a pile of rubble, spitting out a toothpick and waving. "Chrys? 'Ey, mate. 'Ow's it goin'?
* Chrys blinks and turns around, waving a little. "Hey, Ror'. S'goin' fine, I guess. Just thinkin' we should get gathered up early if we wanna do this.."
* Roric nods, murmuring vague agreement. He's dressed as well as can be expected, and seems to have bathed, but nonetheless he looks like hell -- probably didn't sleep well.
* Chrys doesn't look like he slept too well, either, but a somewhat cheerful demeanor does a decent job of masking it.
<GMStoren> Belguteii flips through the pages of a musty tome, intent on it's contents more than the conversation as he walks by, though manages a greeting. "Blessings upon you, mana knights."
* Chrys leans against the wall waving at Belguteii, glancing to Roric. "What are we gonna do now anyway? Take on the darkness beast?"
* Roric grunts and shrugs, adjusting his hat. "Works fer me."
<GMStoren> He closes the book up, sideglancing once to the remedies he's making for the troops, then back at them. "I believe that is the final key to the puzzle for us all. Janice wanted to speak with you all before you depart, however."
*** DooM_GazE (~DoomGaze@24.68.227.75) has joined #pureland
* Roric cracks a grin. "Lookin' ta say 'er goodbyes, eh? Prolly not bad thinkin'."
* Chrys chuckles and shakes his head. "Probably not, no."
* Chrys glances at Roric. "Should we wake the others up?"
* Roric seems to ponder a moment, then looks up and nods his head. "Better, yeh. I'll get th'buckets o' water, you get the chickens."
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Master Cody and Lady rachel are resting upstairs. I have not seen them in the halls this morn, they must yet be asleep.
<Chrys> ...Cody -and- Rachel...?
<Cody> «ooc: Hey, how do YOU know they slept together ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: They could just be sleeping in at the same time! In seperate rooms! »
<Rachel> <<Bel peeked!>>
<GMStoren> << noo ^^ >>
<GMStoren> << he just saying he hasn't seen you yet ^^ >>

*** Ra is now known as Rachel
-> *chanserv* op #pureland GMStoren
<GMStoren> << Okies :) >>
<GMStoren> The Blue sage nods. "Oh, there is one more thing..."
<Chrys> Mm?
<Roric> «ooc: SO I'm perplexed. Are only Cody and Rachel still asleep? »
<Chrys> «ooc: I figure Niki's still asleep »
<GMStoren> Belguteii steps back into his chamber, and opens a small chest, pulling out a bracer. It looks vaguely familiar to you, a stone set in it's fine leather swirling with many colors.
<Chrys> «ooc: And Rhiana's pigging out or just not here »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] After your scuffle with the Meira-demon, we found this after the rift closed.
*** Cody sets mode: +o GMStoren
<Cody> «ooc: :) »
* Chrys raises an eyebrow.. "So it's Meira's... what exactly does it do?"
<Roric> Ooh, toys. Let's 'ave a little look-see.
*** Enygma is now known as Rhiana
<Rhiana> «ooc: Sorry...Winter Olympics were closin'..wanted to watch »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] As far as I can tell, it's an enchanted brace, much like the ones you know, but it has been bathed in the energies of chaos and changed. I believe it may prove useful to you in some way when you head to the dark realm.
<GMStoren> >> The party gets Perfect Brace - All attributes +2. ^_^
<Cody> «ooc: ...woogh @_@ »
* Chrys nods. "Thanks for the thought."
<Chrys> «ooc: Oooooooh »
<GMStoren> << I pryed it offa her cold dead hand! :o >>
<Roric> «ooc: Don't give it to anyone with a good story item! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Aka, give it to me »
<GMStoren> << I gave you a story item sorta.. or you don't like it? ;_; >>
<Roric> «ooc: You have a good story item. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Oh. »
<Chrys> «ooc: I didn't notice it O-o »
<GMStoren> << it'll improve when +5 go in. i forgot to ^^ >>
<Cody> «ooc: Give it to Rhiana. ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Heh, give it to Roric or Rhi »
<Roric> «ooc: Mostly I was thinking Rahne though. She has the ultimate twink item »
<Chrys> «ooc: Heh »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody is pretty twinky now too. He doesn't need it :) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Cody is magic twink »
<Cody> «ooc: Indeed. You don't want him to get kidnapped again :D »
<Chrys> «ooc: ... You know, I'm going to check to see how long we have. BRB, or maybe not. »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] With that done, please gather your friends. I will inform janice to prepare. *bows*
<Roric> Well, I'll go wake up a coupla our sleepin' beauties. Lay low, I won't be long.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Give me somethin'? »
<GMStoren> << yay Rhi, you're alive ^^ >>
* Roric crouches and springs into the air, grabbing a wide overhangning tree branch and hoisting himself up. He perches carefully on top of the branch for a moment, then vaults over to the building, squeezing through an open window.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Yeah, I was watching the Closing of the Olympics..I love this shit »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Sorry :) »
<Cody> «ooc: Agh! He's going to burst through our room and see us naked, isn't he? Hee. »
<GMStoren> << oh god, I was just thinking that >>
<Cody> «ooc: Jeesus christ I'm hyper now O_o »
<GMStoren> << is that alright? ;) >>
<Rhiana> «ooc: I'm conviently off screen or something, ala Addams family »
<Cody> «ooc: Do whatever. OOOOGH »
<Roric> «ooc: Uh, I doubt he'd have entered anyone's bedroom that way. »
<Roric> «ooc: But you're the boss. »
<Roric> «ooc: Man, Tori has 5 skills to assign. »
<GMStoren> Roric swings into action, deftly vaulting into the building through the window. As he arced a moment in the air, he did catch a sight of one of the higher windows... Rachel and Cody... :o
<GMStoren> One of the priestesses gets surprised, nearly dropping some sheets she was carrying. o_O
* Roric lands in a crouch, chuckling to himself. He looks around the hall, gathering his bearings and attempting to determine which room he saw the two in.
<GMStoren> [Priestesses] Oh.. Sir.. Sir Roric! Um.. what.. a.. dashing entrance. So.. fitting. ^^; *composes self*
<GMStoren> << er not plural bah ^^ >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Good news, we apparently aren't leaving »
<GMStoren> << hurray! >>
<Cody> «ooc: God, I swear, everyone in Wendel is a GROUPIE. We could have a skunk as a party member and they'd be like, "OH! God, that skunk is so handsome! So dashing, and smells so divine! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Bad news, I still have to fucking deal with their kids »
* Roric takes off his straw hat and puts on on the Priestess's head, then runs up the stairs two at a time. "Thanks, hon."
<GMStoren> The young girl blushes a lot as he dashes up the steps to the highest floor. It's very quiet here, and two sets of four doors to the guest rooms line the hallway. ^^
<Rhiana> «ooc: I feel dirty, I suddenly feel like groping Charolette Church...damn 15 year olds »
<GMStoren> << is Niki asleep curiously? >>
<GMStoren> << *assuming ASh can tell me* ^^ >>
* Roric picks the most likely door, leaning over and rapping on it sharply. "Rise 'n shine, mates! Got some travellin' ta do this arvo!"
<Chrys> «ooc: Uhh, no clue, Dek is AT HIS COMPUTER but NOT SIGNING ON IRC »
<GMStoren> Roric hears Niki snoring from his side. Well she's not going to get up easy...
<Roric> «ooc: Kick his ass! »
<Chrys> ...That involves going back out of my room.
<Chrys> «ooc: Er, OOC. »
<Roric> «ooc: Well, yell at him from there. :FD »
<Chrys> «ooc: and going out of my room involves dealing with people I don't want to deal with »
<GMStoren> Across from her room you see the loveable Emerald floating by the doorknob of the one next door.
<Chrys> «ooc: I am not fucking opening this door unless I have to »
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm...to wake up or not wake up ;) »
* Roric sighs and shouts, "Five minutes!" then moves on to the next door, rapping similarly. "Wakey wakey!"
<Cody> «ooc: Who's at the next door? ^^ »
<GMStoren> Emeraldacks. "Roric!" Shhh!!!!" :o
<Rachel> <<Us, probably. ;) >>
<Cody> «ooc: Mmm. Pistons. »
* Roric takes a casual swipe at Emerald. "Ahhh, stow it. We gotta get a move on someday."
<Chrys> «ooc: Pistons? »
<Cody> «ooc: Er....Pistions....You know. »
<Cody> «ooc: ... »
<Cody> «ooc: I rp now :o »
<GMStoren> The fairy dodges and puts a finger to her tiny lips, pointing aside to the door near her. "You're going to disturb the lovebirds here... I was having fun admiring them through the keyhole." ^_-
<Cody> «ooc: O_O PERVERT! »
<Rachel> <<lol. ^^; >>
<Rachel> <<Another fine example of, er, voyeurism. ;)>>
<GMStoren> << as if you expected anything less? >>
<Cody> «ooc: Tee hee hee. »
<Chrys> «ooc: ... They're calling me. »
<Cody> «ooc: Tell them you're peeing! for a LONG TIME »
<Cody> «ooc: speaking of peeing, brb »
*** Ehrine|StelsBitch (ehrine@192.168.0.1) has left #pureland
* Roric snickers. "I'll bet. Ya think ya can wake 'em then? Don't mean teh come th'raw prawn wit ya, but we kinda need 'em.
<Roric> "
<Chrys> «ooc: ... »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] I know, I know. Janice wants us downstairs...
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: all work and no play makes ash a dull boy all work and no play makes ash a dull boy all work and no play makes ash a dull boy GOD DAMN IT I'M GOING TO KILL MY FUCKING NIECE »
* Rachel throws the door open, squinting sleepily at the two outside the door. She's holding a wrinkly white bedsheet to her body haphazardly in an attempt to cover her nakedness. "...h'lo."
<Cody> «ooc: LOL »
* Roric waggles his fingers in a little wave. "Mornin', princess. Brekky's on. Don't be dawdlin'."
<Chrys> «ooc: brekkys? »
* Rachel grumbles tiredly but nods, knowing it's time to move. "Sure thing, sunshine."
<Cody> «ooc: Breakfast »
<Rhiana> «ooc: So who would pay money to see me come out in the bedspread wrapped around me beside her »
<Roric> «ooc: Har! »
<Rachel> <<MEEEEE ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: ...*Crickets chirp* »
<Rhiana> «ooc: hee hee »
<Chrys> «ooc: I'd rather it was Rahne, myself »
* Roric raps on Rhiana's door, listening for any sounds that she's in the room. "Rhi? Still sleepin?"
<Rhiana> «ooc: Ash is into that freaky animal love shit »
<Chrys> «ooc: bite me »
<GMStoren> Emerald grins from behind the figure of Roric. "Not to ruin the moment, partner, but I think you gotta save some of your energy for the masses you gotta save to today." ^_- ^_-
* Rhiana answers from behind the door, "No, I am awake."
* Rachel blushes and coughs. "Right. Uh, I'll go wake Cody."
* Rachel turns and closes the door, heading inside to wake Cody..
<Rhiana> «ooc: Hey now Ash, it was just an innocent rib jab. Don't be so angry O:) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Yeh, yeh. I just want to kill people right now. »
<Roric> Good enough fer me. *glances over his shoulder at Emerald* If I slow down I'll fall asleep, see. Best teh keep thin's goin'. *walks up to Niki's door, knocking harder this time* NIKI!
* Rhiana opens the door, looking pretty much the same, still wearing her hair down, "I feel like I've slept for like 3 months or something."
<Roric> Fancy that. I feel like I haven't.
<Chrys> «ooc: Hold on. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Dek apparently FORGOT >< »
<Cody> «ooc: Har. »
<Roric> «ooc: Is Dek, like, a stoner or something? »
<Rhiana> Of course, I've been meditating..concentration is the key to a good rest of the mind.
* Rhiana stretches
<Chrys> «ooc: No, he's not, though he looks the part sometimes. Not as much as me. »
<Rachel> << * From the door: Ahhh...no...no no no! Uh, they're waiting! W-w-wai *voice rises two notches*-- oh goddess! >>
<Chrys> «ooc: The only drugs in this household are asprin, caffiene, and my mother's coffin nails »
<Cody> «ooc: WHOOP ASS IS FUN SHIT @_@ »
<Chrys> «ooc: ....lol. »
<Cody> «ooc: Agh. I had to get that out. »
<Chrys> «ooc: And he didn't forget, but now my family's keeping HIM from going anywhere. »
<GMStoren> << heh. >>
<GMStoren> << oh. >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Shoot me, shoot me now. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Or shoot them. Many times. That works too. »
<GMStoren> << we can fudge it for now, just make Niki come down when she can ^^ >>
* Rachel opens the door once more, clothed in her new armor, which is shiny and generally new. Her long hair is loosely tied back and she attempts to hook her sword to her hip..
<Chrys> «ooc: Never mind again, he's here »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Well you know what my 3rd grade teacher used to say. "You show me an exotic fruit and I'll show you a cocksucker from Guatamala." »
<Chrys> «ooc: bt still, shoot me now »

*** ChanServ sets mode: +h Dekar_Zol
* Rhiana curls her whip tightly, stretching her body again
* Rachel clears her throat and looks down at the glowing green blob which is her partner. "....I am stuffing my keyhole the next time."
* Cody follows close behind her, his hair slicked back slightly, his clothing also somewhat bright and generally new. His cheeks are a bit...flushed...and he looks a touch sleepy.
<Cody> Good morning... ^^; Sorry we took so long.
<GMStoren> << yay dek >>
<Rachel> <<Cody is a greaser! "Heeeyyyyyyy, greaaaaaaaaaaaaaser!" >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Sorry about not dragging you in earlier, Dek »
<Cody> «ooc: Well, maybe saying his hair is 'less frilly' is more accurate, but that makes him sound gay ;_; »
<Rhiana> Stamina is a good thing, it is.
<Chrys> «ooc: I still thought we were going out, so I thought it was pointless »
* Roric grins. "You could get Cody to stuff it for you." He hammers one more time on Niki's door, drowning out any sort of reply, then sighs and heads downstairs.
* Cody blushes a bit. ^^;
<Dekar_Zol> «ooc: Chrys: Now I think were bringing it back here. »
*** Dekar_Zol is now known as Niki
<Chrys> «ooc: Dek: Now I think the only time I'm leaving this room is if I have to or if I'm going into your room. »
* Rachel snorts but grins happily despite the jabbing. "C'mon...let's follow the studly woodsman."
<GMStoren> Emerald floats in the air lazily, staring at Cody and Rachel a few moments, and grinning.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Chrys> «ooc: <Emerald> I didn't -know- you had a tattoo -there-, Rache..! »
<Cody> ...What? ^_-
* Cody stares up at Emerald in amusement.
<Rachel> << Emerald: You two did it! Admit it! Rachel: ... ... ... you're so juvenile. Emerald: You had sex! Say it! SAY IT! :D You bumped uglies, rode the shining stallion of lust, melted the golden handles...-- Cody: O_o I'm going to go die over there now.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: "melted the golden handles"? »
* Rachel pauses and eyes Emerald as well. ^^;
<Chrys> «ooc: That makes it sound like Ronald McDonald sex »
<Cody> «ooc: Is reminded of Nadia Yaoi. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: With the Grimace »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Oh nothing, nothing...
<Rachel> <<....roasted the lamb chops, cut the pizza, suckled the sweet juices, bumped the boggle, twisted the ole twanger.. >>
<GMStoren> Emerald whistles and foolows along. ^^
*** DooM_GazE is now known as DooM_Killing_Brother_Now
* Rachel raises an eyebrow but turns and wanders after Roric, her goodnatured grin in place.
*** DooM_Killing_Brother_Now is now known as DooM_Kicking_Brother`s_Ass_Now
* Cody blushes further, but there is still a smile on his face.
* Cody shakes his head, as if to clear it, and follows Rachel.
* Rhiana blinks semi innocently, been watching the whole time.
<Rachel> <<So has Emerald. IS THERE NO JUSTICE? ;)>>
* Niki almosts busts her door open running out and past everyone who's around.* "HAHA! Tag, your it!" *Moments later Flora runs out chasing.* "Flora will catch you!"
<Chrys> «ooc: Looks like Niki had fun last night, too »
<GMStoren> << woah ^^ >>
<Rhiana> ...I need a vaction
<Cody> «ooc: How can flora chase Niki? O_o »
<Cody> «ooc: FLORA IS IN A RING »
<Niki> «ooc: Cody: Flora can take form for little periods of time. Niki looses her ring during that time. »
<Cody> «ooc: Ah! Okay :) »
<GMStoren> << you shoulda warned me ;) >>
<Niki> «ooc: Doh »
* Cody blinks a few times, then laughs, "^^; I see Niki is awake."
<Niki> «ooc: Now I have to go out and get the food. ^^; »
<Niki> «ooc: BRB, cover me. »
<Chrys> «ooc: On my way »
<GMStoren> The Mana Angel spirit runs down the hall after Niki, soon disappearing in a spirtual blur. Just like old times, apparently. ^^
<Rhiana> ...a long vacation
* Chrys comes up the stairs, tapping his foot. "Won't be long, eh?"
<Rhiana> I think I'll go see if my meditating as done my magic any good.
* Rhiana heads off
<GMStoren> << who's not downstairs? >>
* Chrys shakes his head, trying to stop Rhi. "Wait up. We're probably gonna leave once everyone gets their asses in gear."
* Rhiana turns back, "I'll be outside waiting then."
<Chrys> ...fine.
* Rhiana snickers, "Something wrong?"
* Rachel shakes her head and yawns quietly behind her hand.
* Chrys glances at Rachel and Cody. "So did you?"
<Rachel> Did we what?
* Rhiana shrugs, "I'll take that as a no."
* Rhiana continues outside
<Cody> ...People here are quite nosy, aren't they? ^^;
* Roric heads into the kitchen, grabbing a hunk off a loaf of bread and taking a swig from his wineskin.
<Chrys> ...I saw you flirting around, yesterday, and this morning you two are dead tired and he looks like he dipped his face in red paint. Why wouldn't I be?
* Rhiana yells back at Cody, "Some of us aren't nosy, you know."
* Roric follows the rest of the group outside.
<Rachel> First off, whether or not we did is not any business of yours. Secondly, it could be from the prophetic dreams we both apparently had which caused these transformations.
* Cody sweatdrops. ^^;
<Chrys> ...You too, eh?
* Rachel nods slightly. ^^;
* Roric grins at Rachel. "Lately I've been 'avin' prophetic dreams by meself, mostly."
<Chrys> ...Wierd.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Dreams you say..
<Cody> Wendel is the city of understanding....perhaps...
* Chrys shakes his head. "The wierd thing is I had mine and I didn't even know I was asleep. I just kind of blinked afterwards, and it was morning."
* Rachel grins slightly back at Ror. "Must be horrible." ^^
* Rachel clears her throat. "Anyhow...I fought Randi in mine....I was asleep at the time..."
<Cody> I saw Khyros...and I told him off. ^^
* Cody grins. ^^
* Roric shrugs. Freed of his hat, his hair blows loosely in the wind, a long time without a trim. "I get by."
<GMStoren> Emerald nods several times...
* Chrys raises an eyebrow and glances at Rachel, then at Cody. "Okay. I'm seeing a whole dead-people thing going on here."
* Roric blinks, caught by surprise, and eyes Chrys. "'Ow d'ya figger?"
<Chrys> Did you actually have one of these dreams, too, Ror?
* Roric shakes his head vigorously. "Nah. Didn't sleep. Mighta missed me chance, eh?"
* Chrys shrugs. "Maybe."
* Rachel leans slightly into Cody's arm. "Uh...my dream actually alluded to something that might be of interest to us all..."
* Cody blinks, and smiles at Rachel softly.
<Roric> *gives the pair a look* Dude, Rache, we don't wanna 'ear about that.
<Rachel> Pft. I'm being serious here. It's about Cody and....the sacrifice we believe he'll have to make.
<Chrys> ...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] And what did you see?
* Chrys looks at Rachel, frowning slightly and nodding.
*** Retrieving #pureland info...
* Roric slows down to a shuffle, now watching her more candidly. "Yeah?"
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 52: Always Together | Location: Holy City Wendel, Temple of Light | 4559 Luc | Djinn's Day, Morning =-'
<Rhiana> «ooc: Everyone outside? »
<GMStoren> << inside I think? ^^ >>
<Rhiana> «ooc: k, just checkin' ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: I thought we were outside. »
<Rachel> Randi was trying to make me see the entire dream that we had somewhat accepted Cody's eventual sacrifice without much protest...and that it doesn't need to be that way at all. That he doesn't need to die.
<GMStoren> << are you? >>
<Roric> «ooc: I was because I thought everyone else was. »
<Chrys> ...Psh.
<GMStoren> << okay you assembled otuside the temple then for arguments sake :) >>
* Cody looks to Chrys, frowning slightly.
<Chrys> I've known this for a while. I'm protesting it, and I have since day one.
<Roric> I'm all for that, but are ya sure this wasn't jus' a normal dream? This is crunch time. We can't afford ta screw up.
* Rhiana shrugs lightly from leaning on the wall, "I didn't have some strange dream."
<GMStoren> [Emerald] .... *creases her small brow in heavy thought*
<Rachel> It wasn't a normal dream. Normal dreams don't make my hair grow several lengths in a night and doesn't get rid of scars that were all over my body.
<Rachel> This was real.
* Chrys blinks and actually notices after Rachel mentions it. "Woah, it did..."
<Rhiana> Well for the record, nothing like that happened to me either.
<Chrys> Me either. Well, not the several lengths part.
<Chrys> Besides, Rhi, you weren't really sleeping.
* Roric sighs, scanning the horizon. He juts out his lower lip, momentarily silenced by his thoughts. "Bonza. So what's the deal? Can the world survive without a Mana Tree?"
* Rhiana grins, "But I am rather fond of my hair and skin as they are, so I guess the good looks fairy didn't need to come see me."
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Hmm... break.. the cycle..?
* Chrys coughs slightly and elbows Rhiana.
<Rachel> I don't know. Maybe we won't need to sacrifice the tree. Randi wasn't exactly specific, you know? 
<Rachel> Maybe there's something we're not seeing here...
<GMStoren> [Emerald] But ... even I.. don't think such a thing is possible. I mean... this has been going on for like millenia.
<Rhiana> Eh?  What?  There's no way she wanted those scars.
* Cody looks down at his feet, "...Rachel...If I have to...I will."
* Chrys raises an eyebrow... "I...something about the sword. There's got to be something about the sword, but I don't know -what-..."
<Rachel> And if you have to, Cody, that's alright. But if there's a way to get around this, then why should you?
* Roric claps a knight on the shoulder. "'old up, mate. Ya know where we can find Janice?"
<GMStoren> [Emerald] As long as the struggle between Spirit and Chaos exists, this is the way the wheels have turned...
* Rachel eyes Emerald for a moment.
<Rachel> ...
<Rachel> ...hmm..
* Cody looks up to Rachel's face, and smiles, "...I just don't want you to search for something and be...dissapointed if you don't find it..."
<GMStoren> Emerald rubs her head. "I don't think we can jyst walk up to Entropy and make her have tea and crumpets instead of englufing the world, do you?" ^^
<Rhiana> «ooc: Did I silence the crowd again? »
* Rachel snaps out of thought and squeezes Cody's hand slightly. She eyes Emerald some more. ".... ....hmm.....something you said..."
<GMStoren> The knight stands at attention. "Sir Roric, she's waiting for you in the Hall of Truth. Are you prepared?"
<Cody> «ooc: Yes! We just have to go fetch our rubbers! »
<GMStoren> [Emerald] What.. the spiel about eternal struggle.. yadda yadda..?
<Rhiana> "She" has got to be a beer of some kind.
<Chrys> ...Most of us are, yeah. Any idea where Niki ran off to?
<Rhiana> Oh wait..that..nevermind
<Rachel> Yeah...no...sort of. Randi mentioned something about chaos.....
* Roric nods at the knight, then returns to the conversation long enough to speak briefly. "I don't think everyone completely realizes just what we're going up against here. If we didn't have that," he jerks a thumb in the direction in the merged pendant, "this would be a suicide mission. As it is, some or all of us may die, whether it needs to be so or not."
<Rachel> <<I've been waiting a few weeks to say Randi mentioned something about chaos. Man, I feel better after getting it off my chest.>>
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well chaos is chaos. It's unpredictable, it's formless. It's dangerous. I mean, you saw how Meira made the impossible happen...
<Roric>  This isn't a matter of achieving the best possible victory, it's a matter of achieving victory at all. *sighs, shaking his head* I'm gonna go see Janice. Sounds like she's wants to see us.
<Chrys> «ooc: That's just the new armor. Your old armor was too small in the chest area. »
* Rachel blinks a little at Emerald at that phrasing.
<Rachel> ...
* Rachel furrows her brow. "Let's go see Janice."
<Cody> Yes, we've kept her waiting long enough, huh? ^^
<Rhiana> What's wrong with being fashionably late?
<GMStoren> Emerald perches on rachel's shoulder, thinking some more. Obviously she knows her partner's up to something in her noggin.
* Chrys glances at Roric. "If I die, I die. If I don't, then I have other things to do. Simple. And trust me, I bet I know as well as you - possibly more so. The Darkness beast.... is impossibly strong. Moreso than the rest of the mana beasts combined.
* Rachel looks deep in thought and barely notices Emerald...
* Roric chuckles. "Dark Beast's just a warmup."
<Chrys> Yeah, I know.
<Rhiana> There's nothing out there my magic cannot over come.
* Cody turns to Rhiana, and smiles peacefully, "...Yeah, but she's a priestess...and ...uh...aren't clergy types sorta stern?"
<Chrys> That's the problem.
<Cody> «ooc: Sorry, delayed reaction. I'm spasming in hyperness »
* Rachel mumbles something about making the impossible happen as she heads for the Hall of Truth.
* Rhiana grins at Cody, "I never was one for the priestess stuff."
* Cody chuckles, "Neither am I...really. We'd better go. ^^;"
* Cody hurries after Rachel.
* Chrys shrugs and follows after.
<GMStoren> The group slowly files back into the main building of the compound, returning to the alcove where belguteii calls his study. he looks up from another book, closing it as he does so. "Ah, there you are."
<Chrys> Yo.
<Cody> Good day, Sage Belguteii. :)
<Rachel> <<... >>
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel? »
<Rhiana> Sorry we're late, we had to kick some Mana Beasts around before coming here.
<Rachel> <<'Homie G Dawg! What up?!'>>
* Roric tips a phantom hat.
<Niki> «ooc: Back »
* Rachel looks a still a little wary of Belguteii but nods and smiles nonetheless.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] *bows respectfully* I trust you rested well? There are a few things to discuss.
<Cody> ...What's going on?
<Rhiana> Does it involve getting food?
* Chrys mumbles to Roric. "Called it."
<GMStoren> He waves a hand to the next chamber. "I'm not entirely sure, outside of some research I will annouce afterwards. Janice wanted to speak with you privately."
* Rhiana cuts her eyes at Chrys, "I heard that."
<Cody> Okay. Thank you for telling us...
* Chrys starts off towards the next chamber. "I'm well aware, Rhi. Thanks, Belguttei sir."
* Rhiana blinks slightly, "They go from silly to serious at the drop of a hat....ah well. Kids are kids."
* Cody walks to the next chamber, brushing some hair from his eyes.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] No need, we are here to serve your mission... I am doing my best to make up for my weakness earlier.
<Cody> «ooc: We like trix too! »
<Rachel> ...hmm..
<GMStoren> Belguteii goes back to his studying, hrrming several times at the piles of books on his desk. Perhaps you don't want to know how he does all that reading...
<Rhiana> «ooc: Silly Rhiana, trix are for kids. »
<Chrys> «ooc: I know how! He drinks Whoop Ass! »

<GMStoren> The twin doors ahead of you are rather marked from the fight before, but they part ways just as fluidly as you remembered the first time you enetred here. beyond them lies the hallway with the mystic star upon the floor, the Hall of Truth. It st bears the residule signs of conflict, yet the emblem remains almost entirely untouched.
* Roric bangs on the doors and walks in without waiting for a reply. "Cleaners!"
<GMStoren> << lol >>
<Rachel> O_o
* Cody closes his eyes for a moment, remembering the first time he came here...when he found out just who he was. He takes a deep breath.
<Rhiana> Atleast there are no red wine stains.  Those are a son of a gun to get out.
<GMStoren> The blue haired High priestess is meditating in the circle, and she slowly and steadily arises at your entrance, obviously expecting it.
* Rachel chuckles a little and wanders in behind Ror. "Well..this is a trip down memory lane..."
* Cody gulps a bit, and opens his eyes.
<GMStoren> [Janice] Blessing upon you Mana Knights, Gemma Cody. I'm sorry for rousing you so early, as you still must be tired from your ordeal...
<Cody> «ooc: Cody steps on the circle and discovers in a past life he was really a slug named Dorkas »

<Rachel> << Janice: Welcome. I'm sorry for waking you all but I have something urgent to tell you. Cody isn't the Gemma. We were wrong. Whoops! These things happen, you know. ^^ Sorry again! * Group stares.>>
<GMStoren> << lol >>
<Chrys> I was already awake. ^^
<Niki> «ooc: <Cody> I didn't get any sleep anyways. ;) »
* Roric waves off Janice's apologies. "No worries. I think we're gonna 'ave a nice long rest after this's over."
<Cody> «ooc: Cody: *blinks...blinks again* YES! OH HELL YES! WHOO HOO! FUCK YES! THANK YOU Janice! Later, fuckers! Har har har! *Cody runs away* *Group stares* »
<Chrys> ...Hopefully not TOO long.
<GMStoren> [Emerald] So why all the hush hush janice? What's so urgent? We already know there's one beast then the big showdown, eh?
* Rachel rests a hand on her stomach. "Yeah, what's the deal?" ^^
<GMStoren> [Janice] Yes, that is right. But this is not about the unnatural opponents you face in the coming day...
<Chrys> ...Is this about afterwards?
<Rhiana> Ah they won't pose much of a threat anyway.
<GMStoren> Janice sighs heavily. "In part, Sir Chrys."
<Chrys> ....Then you know about Rachel's dream, I take it....
* Rachel blinks. ^^;
* Cody blinks, then blinks again.
<GMStoren> [Janice] Yes... for you see, it is I which called the test down upon you all.
<Cody> You did all of that? O_o
<Niki> A test....Aww.
<Niki> I hated school!
<GMStoren> [Janice] I did nothing but call... you answered yourselves.
* Rachel eyes Janice...
<Chrys> ...I'd be pissed at you if it hadn't done me so much good.
<Rhiana> A test, and I missed a chance to take it
<GMStoren> [Janice] In doing so you have gained what you need to save this world, and I am overjoyed...
<Cody> I see...
<GMStoren> [Janice] But at the same time my heart weighs heavy.
<Cody> Why?
<Rhiana> «ooc: The BBQ Ribs she had last night »
<Rhiana> «ooc: And she doesn't have any Rolaids :( »
<GMStoren> [Janice] I cannot feel entire unresponsible for much of this, for it is you whole walk into the dark maw now. For my sins, i should be there by your sides.
<Roric> «ooc: See, I was going to say that, but resisted. »
* Roric shrugs. "Ya can come if ya want. Odds are it's a one-way trip, though, so yer prolly better off stayin' 'ere."
<Cody> Your...sins?
<Rhiana> Don't worry about it.  It's nothing that a little magic won't be able to handle.
* Rachel blinks a little. ^^;
* Chrys keeps quiet
* Niki isn't really paying attention.
<GMStoren> Janice looks down, closing her eyes. "I'm afraid magic will not heal this, lady Flaresoul."
<GMStoren> [Janice] It is about Emperor Julius...
<Rachel> <<....if she's pregnant with his child, I will kill her myself :D>>
<Cody> «ooc: We will watch :D »
<Cody> ...Julius?
<GMStoren> << ack ^^ >>
<Rhiana> People in power really tend to annoy me.
* Chrys waits to hear the d-word he knows is coming..
<Niki> «ooc: Dick! »
<Rachel> What about him?
<GMStoren> [Janice] You have heard about the attack upon Wendel several years ago haven't you?
<Niki> «ooc: *gives Rachel a dagger in preperation. ;) »
<GMStoren> [Janice] the reason for the barrier that Cody struck down to enetr here.
* Cody nods silently.
<GMStoren> [Janice] During that attack, to spare the lives of the gemma Knights.. I was... forced to strike up a deal with Julius.
* Rachel raises both eyebrows.
* Roric crosses his arms across his chest, pursing his lips.
* Cody tries to quell a sudden anger he now feels in his chest, "What sort of deal?"
<GMStoren> [Janice] We both had the same purpose, to find the Gemma, and though I did not wish to do so, I could not ignore this fact. The world was in dire need...
* Chrys sighs. "So you promised to hand him over when you found him."
* Rhiana keeps quiet.
<GMStoren> [Janice] No, that is not the terms. It was merely to inform him when the Gemma was found...
* Cody shakes slightly.
<GMStoren> [Janice] And to make sure they were safe until the time to storm Illusia came. unfortunately, we failed at this, with Khyros's betrayal.
<Cody> «ooc: Pissed off Cody ^^ »
<Chrys> ....How many of you could not see his betrayal coming?
* Rachel reaches out to touch Cody's hand, though there is a trace of anger in her own gaze.
* Cody takes Rachel's hand, biting his lip to keep from saying something...less than kind.
<Chrys> Surely the great sages of Wendel could have seen -some- sign? Or is there power highly overstated?
<Chrys> «ooc: Their »
<GMStoren> [Janice] Sadly, as Mana fades, so too does our power.... we knew he was somewhere in this city, but not in the guise of the sage...
<GMStoren> [Janice] I tried to warn Julius.... but... it was then he began to change slightly... his desire grew stronger. He was not quite the same person.
* Roric shakes his head, muttering. "Nothin' gets done when you leave it to committee."
* Chrys nods once in agreement to Roric.
* Niki nods once in agreement to the piece of candy she just ate.
<Cody> (w) You should not have trusted him in the first place...
<GMStoren> [Janice] The curse revealed itself in your sister, but he had no doubt infected all of vandole by that time. And were it not for you, he would have almost secured it upon Cody for good.
<GMStoren> << er Rhiana's >>
<Rachel> Well gee golly, it's sure good we were around..
<Chrys> Yeah.
<GMStoren> [Janice] And in the end because of that curse, you could not become the tree in time to stop the Unmaking...
<Cody> ...No one should be cursed like that. Ever...It was horrible.
<Chrys> ...
<Chrys> In the end, because of that curse, there's a chance we can -save- Cody.
<Chrys> You decide if that was for better or for worse, Janice.
* Rachel blinks slightly and the anger fades from her face.
<GMStoren> [Janice] I see you understand.
<Chrys> The safety of the people -now- or the safety of the people hundreds of -years- from now.
<Chrys> We have a chance to break this damned cycle.
* Cody blinks at all of this.
* Rachel nods just slightly.
<GMStoren> [Janice] Cody... you are undoubtedly unlike any gemma in the years of this world. The influences upon your birth, and your life, lend credit to the hope that there may be a better way. To end the suffering for all of time.
<GMStoren> [Janice] but, only you can truly find this or not.
<Rachel> <<AKA - Try to live, dork! ;)>>
<Cody> ...I hope I can find it...
<Chrys> «ooc: Yeah! After all, you now have a sekushii woman who wants to jump your bones nightly! »
<Cody> «ooc: :D :D :D :D :D :D »
<GMStoren> [Janice] I wanted you to know this before you departed, for may never see one another again. And I wanted to ask your forgiveness.
<Cody> «ooc: Not just nightly, but all the time! »
<GMStoren> Janice bows her head solemnly.
* Rachel thinks..
* Cody closes his eyes for a moment, thinking. Then he opens them, and looks peaceful, "It's all right Janice."
<Chrys> ...You have my forgiveness. Whether you have the others' is out of my hands.
<Cody> I forgive you. 
* Niki starts point at each person one by one, talking softly. "Don't are if I don't see you again, don't care if I don't see you again, hmm, don't mind see you again."
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rachel> <<Niki is going to grow up to be the most fucked up woman EVER.>>
<GMStoren> [Janice] Thank you... Cody.
* Roric rubs his chin, staring at the sigil decorating the floor of the chamber in silence. Finally, once the others have said their piece, he speaks up. "Janice," he says, forgoing the honorific as usual, "how old are you?"
<Roric> «ooc: er, juxtapose those two »
<GMStoren> Emerald blinks. "Uhh, this isn't exactly a time for flirting Roric..." ^^
* Rachel snorts softly.
<Cody> Emerald...shh...
<Cody> I don't think that's what he's aiming for...
<GMStoren> [Janice] Sir Roric.. you wish to know my age? It is realy unimportant..
* Roric folds his arms and shakes his head. "Everything is important. You just don't always realize how."

<GMStoren> Janice pauses, recalling the time. "Sarah Fletcher... your mother. She had such beauty in such simplicity. I grieved long when the Goddess took her from us. It was one of the atrocities that forced me to buckle that day."
* Roric grimaces, obviously not wanting the life story. "I just wanted to make sure someone remembered." He sighs, brushing back his hair and tapping a foot. "Right, mates, let's get a move on then. Time's a wastin' and we got beasties ta kill."

<Cody> «ooc: You go girl :D »
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rachel> You're a fuckup! If it's any consolation, at least you know it! »

<Rachel> Of course I am. 
<Rachel> And stop that, you're making my head itch! ^^;
* Cody looks up as Rachel exits, and smiles.
<Niki> Hmm..
<Niki> I'm hungry.
* Rachel heads to Cody and reaches out to capture his chin, kissing him quickly before turning to regard the rest of the group. ^^
<Rachel> ...really? Do we have time to eat with our busy schedule? ^_- Or should we hurry up and get to beating on the last godbeast?
<Niki> I can eat and fight at the same time!
* Cody rummages through his bag, and hands Niki an apple. ^^
<Chrys> ....
* Niki holds her ace with one hand and the apple in the other. "See!"
<Niki> «ooc: axe »
<GMStoren> Emerald sighs, and starts to say something before shes got a bird's eye view of a sweet kiss.... whatever was on her mind fades for the moment, and she dematerializes to a soft aura around Rachel's person.
* Roric shakes his head. "Let's go. Sooner we get this over with, sooner we can go get drunk."
* Rachel shivers a little ^^;
* Chrys leans against the wall, watching the kiss and Emeralds resultant meltiness, deciding to be a little more serious. "How are we gonna take this thing on, anyway?"
* Niki eats the apple. "wike his.."
* Niki starts to swing her axe a little.
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> ^^; Uh...
<GMStoren> Belguteii offers Niki a kettle, announcing his presence. "I have some herbal tea if you like. Or soup." He coughs. "As well as a bit of good news for you all."
<Rachel> Hm?
<Chrys> ...Mm? We could always use good news.
<Cody> Good news?
* Niki takes the kettle and gives Belguteii the apple core.
<Rachel> <<I made Emerald go splut. Hm. ;)>>
<Niki> «ooc: Whoa...this is funky. »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] *blinks at the apple and politely tosses it in an empty jar* Yes, well, it concerns the whereabouts of the great Flammie.
<Rachel> <<BRB. Making my damned extra strength honey/lemon tea now. ^^;>>
<Cody> Flammie's all right?
* Cody looks hopeful.
* Niki hops up. "Flamme!"
* Niki spits out an apple seed.
<Niki> Flammie too!
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I'm not exactly sure of her current health, but apparently some of our scouts found the crash site. She, however was not there...
* Chrys sweatdrops. "Well. That's.........not quite 'good', is it?"
<Niki> I'll find her.  Where is she?
* Cody frowns, "(w) Flammie..."
* Roric shrugs. "If she wasn't at the crash site, odds are she's alive. Good 'nough fer me."
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] We believe she's retreated to her cave in the northern upperlands near Matango, but we have not heard word from King Truffle yet. perhaps it would be good to head there first and see about it...
<Niki> Okay!
* Niki rushes off
* Niki returns a few second later.
<Niki> Uhh, how do I get there?
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Also, as you know, our city has taken severe damages, and cannon travel is inoperable. The nearest station is also there, in the event Flammie is unable to fly.
<Chrys> Niki has a good question. How far is it from here...?
<Cody> «ooc: We can ask Elmira to borrow the coach again! :D »
* Roric scratches his head. "That's kinda a walk." He puffs air, mumbling to himself.
<GMStoren> The sage looks to Niki, trying to smile encouragingly. "It is a good journey by foot, but I believe we can arrange more speedy methods of travel."
<Niki> Oh really?
<Chrys> Like?
<Cody> Oh?

<GMStoren> Cody is in a vcie like hug by his eerie twin, the princess Elmira. ^^
* Cody smiles, and gives Elmira a platonic hug, "It's good to see you, Elmira. Sorry I had to skip out on you like that in Pandora... ^^;"
<GMStoren> [Elmira] I'm so happy... all my persistence.. I followed you... I wanted to know why you ran away. :(
* Niki hops on top of the coach. Mush Mush! "You guys talk to long. I'm going to save Flammie." :D
* Cody frowns, "...Because if I stayed in Pandora...The world would have fallen apart. I'm trying to fix it...and I can't do it there..."
<Chrys> And besides, he's no King yet. He's far too human.
* Chrys chuckles softly.
<GMStoren> [Elmira] You're so brave.. just like a Prince. *blushes*
* Rachel 's eyebrows threaten to reach the clouds.
* Cody blushes a little, "Ah...well...er...^^;"
<Rachel> Alright, you lovebirds, we need to get on the road. ^_-
* Niki sits on top of the coach, nothing happening.
<GMStoren> [Elmira] I would be honored if you would grace my carriage with your presence then, if only for this short time...
* Cody smiles, "We can do that...Right Rachel?"
<GMStoren> The choco's kweh loudly. o_o
<Rachel> Oh sure, stud. ^_-
<Cody> Okay then. We're very thankful.
<GMStoren> The slim elven driver prods Niki. "Ahem. Miss, this is my job to drive her majesty..."
<Roric> Babe, you wanna save us a walk, you ain't gettin' an argument.. *hops on*
* Cody smiles, and heads to the carriage, helping Elmira inside, and then looks to Rachel, as if waiting to help her inside as well. ^^
<Niki> Well ahem Mister stupid face.  I still get to sit up here.
<Rachel> <<*resists the urge to dirty talk to Cody in msg* ;)>>
* Chrys hops on next to Roric.
<Rhiana> ...I really need a vacation
* Roric grins at Chrys. "Well hel-lo."
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] *Well... then off to Matango with you... I will as always be praying for your success, as well as the rest of my collagues. Goddess watch you in this hour.
* Rachel chuckles lowly and shakes her head, hopping into the carriage without getting helped by Cody. Instead she reaches down and tugs him up instead. "In ya get, handsome." ;)
*** DooM_GazE (~DoomGaze@24.68.227.75) Quit (Quit: BBIAB)
<Chrys> ...Uh. No, Roric. Just no. You can think of that after we save the world.
<Cody> Gah! ^^ *hops inside*
<GMStoren> Elmire very daintily steps in as Cody helps her, you can tell she's admiring his gentlemenly breeding.
* Roric snorts and takes a pull from his wineskin.
<Rachel> <<Dear lord.  ;) >>
* Chrys leans back and stares at the cieling. "I wonder how Rahne and Tori are doing."
<Cody> «ooc: ....I should have him burp, then pick at his ass. »
<Niki> «ooc: Don't forget to make him pick a booger then eat it too. »
<Cody> «ooc: I was thinking that. And then uh... »
<Chrys> «ooc: and make him talk nasty to Rachel »
<GMStoren> The driver turns up his nose a bit, then whips the team into action with a chours of sand and wings flying... and you are off. ^_^
* Cody sits down between Rachel and Elmira just before the carriage takes off!
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: You know...So Rachel doesn't KILL HER »
<GMStoren> Elmire smiles, then eyes Rachel across from him...
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rachel> <<Agh.>>
<Niki> «ooc: I wanna know. »
<Niki> «ooc: When did Elmira change her name to Elmire? »
* Rachel looks nonchalant and relaxed, her initial jealousy fading into warmth. ^^
<GMStoren> << erp. oh jeez. i didn't notice o_o >>
<Cody> «ooc: ELMER FUDD »
<Roric> «ooc: Elmire is Cody spelled with a P. »
*** Rhiana (enygma@chi3-port17.ntso.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
<Rachel> <<Ack. Little non-dissolved particles of medicine stuff. Mm, crunchy.>>
<GMStoren> << any closing words? I'll end here and bring Rahne & tori later. >>
<Cody> «ooc: Nah, I'm good. :) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Wow, we're ending? I could go do things! »
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys smiles at Elmira, picks his ass...picks his nose... ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: I think we should all do that in unision and KILL HER »
* Rachel does, however, reach out to rest her hand on Cody's, stroking his knuckles his with her fingers lightly as she thinks more on the things revealed earlier...
<Rachel> <<.. "Mine!" ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys smiles at Elmira and lightly gropes her »
<Rachel> <<second his. Bad.>>
<Cody> «ooc: :) End! Is happy. »
<Niki> «ooc: We need Tori to just magically appear and have a whitty close. »
<GMStoren> Elmira looks down at the hand, and with a ladylike yet altogether saddened sigh, realizes this isn't going to be a smooth ride.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
