"I assume this is the info we needed..?" *** LeBeau has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) Miner: Damn...what the hell is this? What the HELL? Ugh.. maybe, Hikaru.. * Neydisa just takes this moment to catch her breath from everything. *** Jeff has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) This is what happens when GaiaCorp finds that people know too much. -_- >> The group all leave the stench of the mine behind, though still burnt and drenched in alcholic ooze as a reminded of their ordead there. .oO(Wait a minute..."Gai...a...corp..." Hmm...that sounds awfully familiar from somewhere...) «ooc: Ordead? ...Hmm..Forshadowing?...OF DOOM! » * Neydisa follows outside, squinting a little as the light hits her eyes rather painfully after the previous darkness of the mine. ^^ *** Jeff (jesse@208.171.139.6) has joined #warpg *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Jeff << Whee. >> * Hikaru adjusts like a good little godboy. >> Mr. Aldrich runs up to the princess, looking deeply concerned. "My gods! What happened here!?" ... I'm sure you know SOMETHING about it, sir. He [indicates the ex-Hoffman] said you did. Or at least that the people in GaiaCorp did. Amelia: We were attacked by an abomination in YOUR mine, Aldrich. We could have died. * Jeff closes his eyes, still breathing a little heavily. "Big.. smelly, flammable thing." You run the mine then? I assume this is yours then. * Hikaru peels a bit of the ooze off his armor and hands it to Aldrich. «ooc: Amelia: I'm gonna go into a temper tantrum! ;_; Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! » «ooc: AGH! IT'S THE WAH WAHS! :O » * Neydisa sighs. "We saw other bodies of miners... if there was dangerous creatures there, why didn't you get rid of it sooner? GaiaCo ahs safety regulations..." >> Aldrich ignores Hikaru and his ooze, still focusing on the princess. "I don't understand...there shouldn't be anything like that around here...we thoroughly investigated the mine before opening business here!" * Hikaru looks at Jeff and Neydisa. "Do you believe that? I don't believe it." * Jeff makes a small shrugging motion, his eyes still closed, now in concentration. ... If you force people to work in a hazardous environment, how can you claim to be working for your ideals. Do you care that people died in there for your profits? Amelia: Not thoroughly enough, eh? *shakes her head* Aldrich: Of course we care! And I assure you this will do nothing but COST us money...damn...look...you all need to get your wounds looked at...come to the clinic, please. I don't want to be responsible for you being hurt any further, Your Highness.... «ooc: Suckup! Suckup! » ... * Neydisa hangs her head... I'm fine - wounds heal. * Jeff still keeps silent, holding the same pose he was. So don't take me wrong - the only reason I'm coming with you is so you don't do something to the princess. << How the hell long does this take, Gayo? ;) >> *** Blaze (capoted@98AD4652.ipt.aol.com) has left #warpg Amelia: *scowls coldly* I...could use a bath. «ooc: You're out of battle.

Amelia, you could sure use a bath! » I guess we all could... ...I'll bathe once I'm good and far away from this town. * Hikaru seems to have developed a permanent scowl now ;P * Jeff opens his eyes, and reaches into the small pouch he carries his lens in, touching it while murmuring. Aldrich: Oh, certainly, certainly! I'll take you to our clinic... >> He sets off, pushing his way through the crowd that's gathered. Amelia follows. * Hikaru doubts he can stop Amelia, so he lags behind the rest of the party, nudging his cloak. >> Jeff's lens glimmers and strength flows through him. Jeff's HP is maxed out! Hey...Rayle...you still alive in there? ^^; >> Rayle falls out of Hikaru's cloak onto the ground. ^^; Oh boy. * Jeff straightens up, looking much better, then follows the others * Neydisa picks up her pace to follow the princess, eager to leave the mine's proximity. * Hikaru picks him up and speeds up a bit, hoping that the wind rat isn't wind-rat-roadkill. ^^; Rayle: OW!

RULE 3 TIME!! » << Amelia dumps some oil into the water, Neydisa goes berserk and kills her, end cutscene. ;) >> «ooc: RULE THREE NEEDS NO EXCUSES! [Ellena] 'Karu! 'Lucs! :( » * Neydisa soaks in the tub, a feeling of warmth and comfort sweeping over her and pushing todays events to the back of her mind somewhat. * Neydisa suddenly pipes up in a small voice, "Princess?" Amelia: Hmmm? I didn't want to say anythign before around everybody, but after today.. maybe I should tell you why I wanted to come here. >> The princess looks over at her. "Sure...I was curious." A couple of years back, I used to live in Rosetta.. I got a job working on GaiaCo's shipping lines back then. * Neydisa sinks into the waters a little. "But.. I found out something I shouldn't have." :/ Amelia: Hmmm? There was a factory on the shore near town that had a secret place for dumping wastes into the ocean... as a devout Lucadian, I tried to stop it.. but.. «ooc: Yay! CTRPG1's homepage how is on rpgcafe. :D » * Neydisa sighs. "But they fired me, and blacklisted me in the city on top of that. It really ruined my life..." >> She turns to face her fully, interested now. "I see..." She sighs. "GaiaCo...doesn't care about this world. All they care about is Money...all Shamesworth cares about..." I see that's really true.. they just want profits at the expense of everything. But I couldn't do anything before. :/ But you, you're a princess.. people listen to you. Amelia: This wasn't the kind of world I wanted, you know? Selman...my younger brother...he and I wanted to try and make a good world after tghe second demon war...but even I can't stop GaiaCo now with their worldwide influence. >> She bites her lip. "I suppose I'll be a queen soon..." I could never be royalty. All those eyes on you.. I just want to slide away from everything sometimes.. * Neydisa sinks deeper into the bathtub, head disappearing from the surface of the water. Amelia: Yeah...I know how you mean...uh...hey! *splashes* Are you okay? * Neydisa doesn't seem to be letting go any bubbles either. ^^ >> She reaches down, lifting Neydisa out of the water, a little panicky. * Neydisa blinks, scared a bit. o_o Oh ah.. sorry! Amelia: Agh! *jumps back a bit* Are you okay? * Neydisa shakes her hair dry a little. "I'm ok. I keep forgetting not everyone can do that." ^^ >> Amelia blinks, then sighs and laughs a bit. "Oh...right. ^^; I've heard of shamans with the gift of fish-breathing...I'm sorry to startle you." Don't mind me.. I'm nto special or anything.. :/ Amelia: No! It's a real gift. I may be a princess, but you have a power I could never have... * Neydisa blushes slightly. "Maybe..." Anyway, we shouldn't keep the other waiting too long, huh? We need to get back to Adelhyde. You the castle, and me my boss at the Inn. Amelia: Yeah....*stands up, water dripping from her hair, and steps out of the baths, twoelling off. "You're right...I admire shamans, Neydisa...shamans have the power to change the world for the better. Don't forget that." [Jeff:#warpg PING] * Neydisa sits in the water a little longer. "I'm trying not to." <> << lol. ^^ >> >> Eventually all four people converge back in the clinic, clean and revitalized...Aldrich comes in, bowing to the princess and speaking apologetically. "Again...I apologize for this horrible occurrance. we've alerted all our police." * Hikaru nods. .oO(Uh huh. Suuure he's sorry.) << He is! Sorry we found out, anyway. ;) >> * Neydisa looks a lot more energetic after that bath, to anyone that might be looking. :) Amelia: Aldrich...we have reason to believe this creature was being used as an assassin for GaiaCo. This displeases me. >> Aldrich blinks. "What? Who told you that? I can assure you nothing of the sort is true!" Remember the dead guy we drug out with us? Hoffman said miners had disappeared while on duty... and we found a lot of them in that sealed up room. -_- Well.. Aldrich: Mr. Hoffman...ah. I can assure you that he was a deeply disturbed individual...though we are saddened by his passing. *he blinks a second time* Yopu found dead miners? Not a lot of them. Just their bones. ^^; * Jeff nods. The remains, yes... The.. creature seemed to have claimed a number of them. Yeah. Quite a few. Dead. Skinless. Dog food. At the very least, I'd have thought someone would have noticed the fact that they were gone.. Aldrich: So you don't actually know they were miners. I'm sorry your Highness, but we're as upset over this as you are...it's been a terrible occurrance. I assure you GaiaCo had nothing to do with it. .oO(Bullshit.) Amelia: I just don't buy that anymore, Aldrich. We've been jerked around by GaiaCo long enough...things are going to be different now. Aldrich: I'm sorry, but what do you want me to say? I clearly can't dso anything to change your mind. >> Amelia glares at him, adjusting her clothes and shaking her head. "This...even if it ISN'T your doing, this is simply inexcusable. I've never even HEARD of a creature like that one...so WHAT WAS IT DOING HERE!?" ... Plot device? ^^; * Neydisa blinks. Er, never mind. * Jeff gives Hikaru yet another odd look >> Amelia gives Hikaru a rather displeased look. Aldrich: Perhaps we should retire to my humble house... Amelia: Damn it, I'm not in the mood! Amelia: People are dead and I want to know why! << BEsides, you still own me 50 gell afrom last time! Er.. I mean.. >> * Lucca is back (%Yay! I won't miss any IoG! :D%) (%away(41mins 32secs)) (pec) >> The princess sighs in despair, sitting down abruptly and rubbing her temples. She has a point, Mr. Aldrich... if you're really sorry, you'd at least have something better to say about all this. It is your mine where the princess almost lost her life, you know. :/ Aldrich: I'm....I don't know what to tell you! I assure you there will be a full investigation, but for the time being all we can do is increase security. We're already losing a lot of money because of this.. ...This isn't about money. This is about HUMAN LIVES, GOD DAMN IT! * Neydisa frowns. "STop talking about money... this is about PEOPLE...if not the princesss, then all the workers who try to make ends meet in that soot covered hole in the ground." Aldrich: Of course not, I didn't mean to imply that, but I assure you we would not have done something that would shut down the mine like this... Rayle: (q) Watch it 'Ik... ... * Hikaru simmers Amelia: He's right, Aldrich. Even if this isn't your doing I'll call you up for this inexcusable lack of security...people are DEAD here! You don't even care! «ooc: Hikaru boils at a pleasant 350F in a conventional oven. :D » >> Aldrich looks a bit flummoxed. * Jeff just shakes his head a little, feeling that the other three have pretty much said it all. Aldrich: I...don't know what else to say, your Highness. How can a company that doesn't care about people claim to be working for the world's good... -_- Aldrich: We DO care about people! We're investigating right now! >> Rayle lowers his ears and sighs. >> Amelia bites her lip, speaking quietly. "Why should I believe you?" Aldrich: Pardon? Amelia: Why should I believe you when you're the very thing that's wrong with this thrice-damned world!? Tell me! Aldrich: *sigh* I'm sorry. I really a very, very sorry. * Neydisa looks at Aldrich oddly a second... and takes a few steps backwards, shaking her head. >> He blinks, and Amelia catches his look and turns to neydisa. "Are you okay?" * Neydisa straightens up. "N..nothing. I'm just a little..tired I think." << Gah.. son of a gun. I'm back >> Amelia: Hmph. Are you happy, Aldrich? Aldrich: Of course not! How could you say such a thing? I'm devastated! «ooc: GHmm...how to advance this situation...*thinks* » * Jeff blinks, and takes a step back so he can keep an eye on Neydisa as well as Aldrich and Amelia «ooc: i sort of needed Hikaru for this. Sigh. » Rayle: Bah. Amelia: Oh, I'm sure you are...you've lost so much MONEY! «ooc: I can RP Hikaru! ... ... (Insert plot device here!) » * Neydisa looks up at Aldrich again, cautiously. Aldrich: I... Amelia: You're luckhy I don't throw you in prison, you bastard! Aldrich: I assure you, your Highness, I... << Take it to him girl! >> Amelia: Now if you aren't telling me EVERYTHING you know...! Aldrich: I........ >> Aldrich looks a bit intimidated, fiddling with his shirt., «ooc: Aldrich: I've been a bad widdle boy. » << I ahd a teacher who played with his tie when he was frustrated. ^^ >> Aldrich: Fine! But I assure you I had nothing to do with this... >> Amelia decks him and whirls, turning her back on him. O_o "I knew it...you sick freak!" * Neydisa pales. "Amelia?" o_o >> The Gaiaco represtntative quai9ls a little, then puffs out his chest, regaining some of his bravado. "It had nothing to do with me! My boss hired the help of a woman named Stricken to maintain order around here....he wanted to avoid rioting! We had no idea what she did would be fatal..." * Jeff steps fiorward again quickly, putting himself next to the princess, just in case. ..what? * Jeff stares intently at Aldrich. "What did you say her name was?" Stricken? Stricken, I think. Some sort of dark wizard, I don't know! No one tells me anything! Aldrich: Stricken, I think. Some sort of dark wizard, I don't know! No one tells me anything! Aldrich: This is so typical...I never make any decisions, but I'm accountable for everything! So TYPICAL! Amelia: Oh, cry me a fucking river. Stricken... * Neydisa sighs. Might her name have been... Sevena Stricken? I wish I never worked for GaiaCo at all now.. Aldrich: It sounds right... «ooc: ^_^ Yay. » Aldrich: Look, I know where she is....I can tell you if you promise to keep me out of this! * Jeff looks at Amelia. Amelia: You...freak! Abomination! You're lucky I don't have you executed right now for murder! Tell us and maybe you'll get to rot in jail for life with the rest of your damn plutocrat bastard friends! «ooc: Amelia went from ditz to war nazi. O_o » «ooc: She wasn't a ditz. :P She's just pissed off. » << Royal hissy fit! ;) >> Princess.. Amelia: Yes!? ....*she sighs, rubbing her eyes* ...yes? >> Aldrich pales. "All right! All right! Look, I know to you i'm, some figurehead of corporate evil, but I DIDN'T PLAN ANY OF THIS! I'm just following my goddamned orders!! She's in the Temple of Memory...it's an old ruin...she hides there for some reason...if you want to catch her, go there. The Temple of Memory.. what would she be doing there... Aldrich: I don't have a freaking clue. Just...do whatever you want to do, okay? I'm...I need to lie down or something. Isn't that the ruins near Adelhyde some talk about? >> He slinks out, leaving a simmering Amelia. Rayle: Well ain't 'at the luck. We're gonna go t'the Temple o' memory, 'ik. Hikaru: ... Amelia: *hangs her head* Damn...well...we'd better go, I suppose. My guards need time to rest...I won't be taking them. >> She sighs. "I'm a bit scared, but...after what happened in there, I don't trust them to survive if we have to fight a dark wizard...can I...can I count on you three to help me out? You're very strong... Hikaru: I'll come...I made a promise. If you still need me around, I'll be here Miss Amelia... maybe this isn't the end of the GaiaCo investigation.. * Jeff shrugs a little. "I've fought her before.. if I have to do it again.." >> Amelia takes out the Tear Drop and stares into its glimmering depths, sighing..."I wish there was no more pain..." --SESSION END-- Session Close: Sun Apr 16 21:40:24 2000
