--- Session 19: Simple Plans, pt. 2 --- Session Start: Sun Oct 01 16:00:34 2000 --SESSION START-- « OOC: Lisa> Hi Lucca! » «ooc: Hi Lisa :D » « OOC: *Lisa flips Gayo off. » «ooc: I've got some kickass battle music playing. Let's start with a battle! :D » «ooc: ..... I-Drive send feature down. UM NO! » «ooc: Hi Lisa! Hope things work out better with you than Grue's last ten girlfriends! :D » «ooc: Um, Gayo. » «ooc: Gayo. YOu're evil ;) » >> The great cathedral bell rings out nine o'clock...the streets of Saint Centour are slick with water, but the pouring rain of the day before has softened into an almost imperceptible drizzle. A rainbow arcs across the mountain peaks to the west. «ooc: Grue isn't enough of a man to have ten girlfriends. » «ooc: Hey Lisa. Grue likes to be handcuffed without the key anywhere around! » « OOC: Lisa> Don't worry... it will... I've got all ten of them locked in my basement >:) » «ooc: LOL! » «ooc: Bondage orgies are the basis of a solid relationship, I always say. » « OOC: Joe, she knows ;) » «ooc: Heh. » «ooc: I figured she did! ;) » «ooc: Mmm, bondage orgies » «ooc: RP now, btw. » ... «ooc: LOL » «ooc: Damn Hikaru angst! » «ooc: You're at the inn, might me awake, might not. That doesn't count as RP, Hik. » * Shane tires not to move much in his bed. Sleepy, but feeling markedly better. << Gosh, what a horrible start :p >> «ooc: Damn. » * Shane cracks an eye, and turns his head. «ooc: Did the people working on the Rider get any sleep? » * Ellena is still sleeping, but she looks a lot healthier than yesterday. «ooc: Dunno. » «ooc: Depends if they slept. » «ooc: Did I finish the Deathfinder? » «ooc: Gee...that really clears it up. » «ooc: Yes, Allen. » * Shane smiles, and closes his eyes again. «ooc: Wow, Shane and Ellena had sex? O_o I missed that? » «ooc: NO! O_O » * Neydisa is still sleeping rather soundly under the warm blankets after yesterday's harrowing events, the color back in her cheeks. «ooc: Oh. It sounded like they were sleeping together. » * Allen has his head stuffed between two pillows and is snoring lightly. «ooc: Seperate beds across from each ohter ;) » «ooc: >> Allen's Death Finder leads him to Joseph's Cormorant barrel. Aww crap, I wanted a Death finder, not the Death of me finder. » «ooc: Joseph's attempt to smother Allen with a pillow was foiled! » «ooc: ... » «ooc: why you haaate me? ;_; » * Ellena hmms and snuggles deeper into the fuzzy blankes and soft pillow. «ooc: I don't hate you :D » * Hikaru has been watching Joseph and Starling work on the rider, dosing off every so often... «ooc: hehe. If the roll failed, i was gonna make it a Death's Cloak finder that kept leading to Joseph. » «ooc: We will storm the world for melon bars :D » «ooc: I don't. Joseph does. ;D » «ooc: Mmmm! Melon Bar! :D » *** Ellena (dinner@1Cust211.tnt1.portland2.or.da.uu.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) «ooc: Sorry Lucca, but the I-Drive send feature is down. :/ » «ooc: K...I didn't want to tell her anyways. » «ooc: lol » >> Aside from a half-hour nap, Starling has worked all night despite Shane's insistence he not. Rayle is snoozing on the river's seat. «ooc: rider's? » «ooc: Wow, they put chairs in streams now? » «ooc: rider's, yeah. » « OOC: Starling's either a Holmecross, or Tyler Durden. » «ooc: or a college student! » * Joseph has also been working on the Rider all night. *** Ellena (dinner@2Cust223.tnt1.portland2.or.da.uu.net) has joined #warpg *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Ellena «ooc: My vote goes for "Tyler Durden". » * Neydisa shifts a bit in the bed, slowly opening her eyes, and catches the fading rainbow in the distance. «ooc: BTW, no huge-ass morning scene please. ^_~ » «ooc: ^^ Heh. » «ooc: Sorry Lucca, but the I-Drive send feature is down. :/ (repost) » «ooc: I know, Joe :) » «ooc: Wow, Allen. You have a huge ass. ;_; » «ooc: I tried 2 different methods, and both failed. » * Ellena opens her eyes slowly, yawning. ^^ «ooc: * Shane squeezes Ellena's morning ass. * Ellena squeezes Shane's morning ass. » * Neydisa blinks, rubbing an eye at the beautiful window view, and peeling off a few layers of covers to actually sit up comfortably. ^^ « OOC: O_o » * Shane sighs, and starts getting up... He's already slept too much, and enervated or not, he can't get back to sleep now. «ooc: http://rpgcafe.net/WARPG/files/frontier_city.mid » «ooc: Waitaminute. It was raining in August?! » * Allen continues to snooze. «ooc: THIS IS MAINE » Good morning, Shane... «ooc: We had rain the other day, Hik. ^_~ » * Shane rubs his eyes. «ooc: Yes but that is SEPTEMBER » «ooc: Sometimes we have rain in December. :D » Hello... Ellena. «ooc: Actually, we had some MAJOR rain in August here. » * Shane smiles sleepily. Are you feeling better? * Ellena smiles sleepily as well. "Yes...much. Thank you :)" «ooc: lol :p We're LUCKY to get some rain any time in the year. Damn me and my Californianness. » Looks like the storm's let up outside... «ooc: Hikaru: Nooo kidding ^_^ » Good... good... «ooc: Ellena: Yes! My horrible life suddenly fixed itself entirely while I was sleeping! It's so wonderful! ..fuckwit. » «ooc: LOL » * Shane looks out the window. « OOC: heh :) » « OOC: Ellena's really Sharkey? :O » «ooc: LOL! » >> Outside, the streets are beginning to fill. I guess I should get ready...^^; I've held you all up for far too long... * Shane looks at Ellena ponderously. Ellena, are you sure? You're not staying here? Oh! No...I'm just still in my pajamas... ^: «ooc: er ^^; » I can change...right? ^^; «ooc: And toque! » Oh, heh... * Ellena giggles a little. ^^; * Shane looks somewhat embarressed for a fraction of a second. «ooc: O_o *tries to envision Ellena in a toque* » Neydisa... How are you feeling? * Neydisa clutches the robe about her, and steps out of bed, testing her balance after laying down for so long. She takes the toque off her head, looking at it a moment. «ooc: SHe'd look cyutte! » «ooc: It'd look bizzare :O » * Ellena stands up, streching a little. «ooc: Blond hair and artificial fur... :o » «ooc: Aww, put it back on! We can do Great White North! » I'm ok, Shane. I've had worse bouts with this kind of thing. «ooc: LOL » « OOC: G'day, eh? Ya hoser. » « OOC: What're you goobers still doing here? Take off! » «ooc: ^______^ » * Allen stares at the insides of his eyelids. * Shane nods... Well, I'd say you're the one that gets to say when you all leave. It's at your discretion, Neydisa. >> Rather abruptly, Rayle appears at the window, tapping it with a claw. * Ellena smiles at Shane and Neydisa, then sneaks off to the bathroom with a clean set of clothes, and closes the door. Barring other unforseen difficulties, that is. * Shane smiles. «ooc: Let Rayle in! Let him in! :D » * Neydisa nods slowly, and looks for some of her clothes to change into that weren't soaked utterly. In passing the window, she looks at Rayle. ^^ «ooc: [Neydisa] hahaha, little rat. You have to wait outside. » * Neydisa lifts it up. "Rayle?" >> Rayle bobs in. «ooc: he's a Gaffling now. » << hehe >> Rayle: We're just bout done wiffa Rider. Yeh can come on by anytime. * Shane smiles. Maybe there arent anymore unforseen circumstances, then. * Shane sighs. Oh good.. I need to get changed and pick up the horses for us... Rayle: Be a bloomin' nice change o' pace. You've got that right. * Neydisa rubs her eyes once more, agreeing. ^^ * Shane 's still sitting on the edge of his bed. * Ellena comes out of the bathroom fully dressed. She waves quietly to Rayle. "It's free if you want it...The bathroom I mean... ^^;" « OOC: :O » «ooc: :O » «ooc: [Rayle] Good! Ah been 'aving to take a dump for an hour. » * Allen mutters in his sleep. "..murkle.. rundehh gnngnn.. nn." >> Rayle snickers. "I'll make do." That was more meant for Neydisa or Shane...but I guess you could use the bathroom too if you wanted? ^^; *blush* * Neydisa picks up a nice thick shirt and pants for the trip, and hurries to get ready. "Right..." ^^ Rayle: Nah, I'm good. I'll be back with 'Ik. Okay... * Shane ponderously pushes himself onto the the floor, and stands for a moment, pleased. And then he wavers slightly, and leans against the bed, trying to look casual. «ooc: Shane: ...FOR THE KILL! » Ah, no... I'll wash up when everyone else has been seen off. * Neydisa comes out after a few moments, making sure her old clothes are arranged properly for drying this time and not scattered about the room. :P * Ellena nods a little. "It's sad that everyone's going. I hope everyone'll be okay..." Oh... they'll be back soon enough, I'll wager. You're probably right. ^_^ With the rider, they should be able to find Zed within the day. * Shane smiles. * Ellena smiles back. "I'll be relieved if he's found. He was sort of strange though..." Rayle: I 'ope so. Not in the mood for a dirty great road trip. I'm sure of it. Shane planned really well.. let us take care of it now. :) * Shane looks pleased at the compliment. «ooc: Shane: They like me...really like me! » Oh, and Shane? Rayle: Anywo, I'm gonna scarper. See yer at th' Rider. Yes? I still have your rune... *** Heather is now known as Hader-Shower * Shane nods. I gave it to you for the trip. You'll need it more than I for now. If you do run into Death... You'll need as much help as you can get. * Shane frowns. * Neydisa nods. * Ellena remains quiet I really hope it doesn't come to that, but... * Shane nods. «ooc: Speak you mute bastard! Oh wait, your not Crono from the CT spoof. » ...I do, too... But better to prepare for the worst. * Neydisa nods again, and heads over to Allen's bed. «ooc: We're gonna need to do a TIME PASSES soon. » «ooc: Yay :D » Did he stay up all night finishing the compass? :/ «ooc: Say when. » «ooc: When. >;D » * Allen snores. [Allen:#warpg PING] «ooc: brb » «ooc: Poing! » Well, when he wakes up, tell him I went to get the mounts ready, ok Shane? I... thought it was complete before we went to sleep. * Shane nods. «ooc: Yes, but I doubt Shane knows what time Allen went to bed. ^_- » « OOC: 'we' being Ell, Ney, and I. » * Neydisa says her goodbyes and heads out to prepare, taking it easy yet. >> Half an hour later, the group assembles at the newly fixed-up rider, dragging along a half-asleep Allen. «ooc: YAY. » « OOC: where the frick is Watcher? -_- » «ooc: I'm confused, since i wasn't really in the session it was explained, but Ellena is staying behind with SHane, right? :) » «ooc: DUnno. :o » * Hikaru stands there, looking somewhat muted, almost violently calm... « OOC: You were there when I explained, I thought. » «ooc: Er, good point, why ARE they staying behind? I forget. » « OOC: And you agreed... and then got tummy-sick? » «ooc: Gayo: Cuz Lisa didn't give Grue hot monkey love and he wants some. » «ooc: I have no idea. All I know is Shane and Ellena are sorry lazy bastards » >> Starling stands there, looking somewhat muted, almost violently calm. « OOC: Shane has spiritual things to investigate. » << Yeah, he needed a shaman for it I thought, hence Ellena ;) >> * Hikaru hopes Starling doesn't sue him for stealing his 'gig' Rayle: Oi! Was with these nasty-arse 'orses in 'ere? ...Blame Shane. For some reason he saw a need for them. Sorry rayle, but they are for the search.. we'll need to be fast sicne we lost a lot of time. :/ Rayle: 'Ow the 'orses gonna make the Rider go faster? «ooc: *resists urge to say "By thinking HAPPY THOUGHTS! :O" » «ooc: Gum drops and lollipops and TROJAN MAN :D » «ooc: back. :P » «ooc: WTF » « OOC: the idea at the time was to form two parties.... the Rider takes everyone to a common point, and then the Watcher-finders go on horse, and the Zed finders continue on Rider. » «ooc: TROJAN MANANANANANNNN » «ooc: happy thoughts, Karu! » «ooc: wait. Watcher finders? » «ooc: Watcher finders are heading west though., » «ooc: LOL...Allen didn't make a Watcher finder. » «ooc: Who gives a shit about Watcher? He's only a problem if Death is around. » « OOC: Well, this was *before* we had the compasses. » «ooc: you think it's safe to split the group in half? » « OOC: remember? ;) » «ooc: *prepares stats for Pikes*( » «ooc: AAAAAAAAAAH » « OOC: But, Shane's not there right now, so, do as you all will :) » * Allen yaaaaaaaaaawns. «ooc: Oh, I assumed Shane and Ell came to see them off. » We'll need to track down Zed into some rough terrain.. plus Shane said when we get a lead on Zed, we should split up to then search out Watcher... «ooc: I thought we did too O_o » « OOC: Oh ^^; » «ooc: Has Neydisa casted swift on the horses yet? » «ooc: Nah, best not to do that till you need to use them. » * Shane leans against the Inn's front wall. ...Who gives a crap about Watcher? Without Death around, he's not a threat. << Not yet Joseph. :) >> «ooc: it only lasts a minute or two per casting. » «ooc: K, just making sure. :) » * Ellena watches the party quietly, looking at Starling in paticular... Rayle: 'E didn't seem like much o' a threat when Death was 'round either. Starling: ... The problem is he has something Death wants. >> Starling looks slightly bored. * Allen retreats into his thoughts. «ooc: Yay, Starling's made 1200 gella off you guys so far. :D » Look... If you don't want the horses, then don't bring them... «ooc: LOL. » So if we deal with Death, there's no problem. Right? Good. Now can we go or are me and Starling doing this alone? ...But it's better safe than sorry. * Joseph is silent. «ooc: Allen's thoughts; Mwah blah blah tired want tea wow Neydisa looks good in short shorts tea tea tea tea ;_l » We have them for the day, let's make use of them. «ooc: lol » Rayle: 'Ey 'Ik, don't get too eager. We ain't got Zed 'is time. «ooc: Hehehe. » ...So, why not keep them? There's been too much time lost already... Rayle... another thing we ain't got -is- time. «ooc: YOu guys thought that was funny? ^^ Blah. I didn't think so :) But oh well *Hums* » Starling: ...then let's go. Yes. * Hikaru hops in the rider. * Shane looks tired, at the discussion more than being worn. >> Starling vaults into the driver's seat. Goodbye, everyone... Be safe! Rayle: So wot 'zactly is it you two need to do 'ere alone? *** Windstar (Windstar@cs2740-5.austin.rr.com) has joined #warpg Take care! * Allen plods into the vehicle and looks for somewhere to lay down. I have things to investigate, Little spirit. «ooc: Bugger off! I want to investigate Ellena. ALL OF HER » And she's there to keep him company. ...In bed, I'd expect. * Neydisa nods, and gets inside. Rayle: I magine yeh do. You're welcome to stay if you're intrested, but the explanation is a little long. Rayle: (m) Little 'uman wanker. * Joseph boards the rider as well. << lol >> * Ellena looks at Hikaru, although you don't know if she heard his comment or not. Probably not. But it gives you a start anyway. ^^ «ooc: Nobody heard that btw. ^_~ » «ooc: LOL. » «ooc: S'why I said "probably not " :) » «ooc: oH. THe woman wanker thing. Tee » « OOC: My, what big ears you have, Ellena... All the better to hear your vulgarities with, my dear >:) » << lol >> «ooc: I dunno. I never asked Gayo if she has better hearing than a normal human. ;) » «ooc: Not particularly. » «ooc: are these Deedlit ears? Or Link ears? » «ooc: neither. » « OOC: Elw ;) » «ooc: oh. » << They aren't either.. They are like elf dumbo ears. ;) >> «ooc: LOL » «ooc: Think Nedian. » «ooc: Ah! okay. » «ooc: Actually, Fellpool is more accurate » «ooc: miyaou! » «ooc: Noel. That's all I can say. » «ooc: They're animal ears, not Elf » « OOC: anyways ;) » >> Starling touches the glass panel on the dashboard and the engine roars to life, the quadruple muffler exhaling a burst of sooty smoke. * Ellena waves goodbye! * Shane has his arms crossed, and is smiling. «ooc: * Joseph flips Ellena off. » «ooc: Get to lay Ellena now, la la la » I hope they come back safely... Me too... « OOC: .oO{ well... most of them >:) } » * Neydisa waves a little, and goes to keep an eye on the 3 horses as they depart. ^^ >> With a grinding lurch, the Rider bursts into motion, vaulting across the hilly landscape. «ooc: NO RP » «ooc: I ff. » >> ... « OOC: heh. » «ooc: Gayo has the Zsnes ~ button for WARPG. ;) » « OOC: Gayo's tired of chardev >:D » «ooc: Good idea. * Gets FF8 » «ooc: Yes! No more chardev! » <> «ooc: Is not ;_; » «ooc: Windy, says miss spotlight. » «ooc: :P » << Kicks in FF8 "The Mission" :) >> «ooc: /me baps you ^_^ » >> Two hours later, the compass needle seems to be stuck firmly in the same position/j #warpg2 «ooc: Erk. » <<*Hates the spotlight, just likes a little bit of it, not the whole bloody thingie =)>> << whoops ^^ >> «ooc: hang on, let me retype that. » «ooc: Which compass? » «ooc: IT poinTS TO AN ENTIRELY NEW CHANNEL?! Holy crap. I want more Enchantment skillz! » << haha >> >> Two hours later, the compass needles seem to be stuck firmly in the same position, and the rider is starting to feel very cramped and...horsey. «ooc: Shane and Ell, in #warpg2 » «ooc: Kayo :D » <> «ooc: Which compass? ;_; » «ooc: we should have Triangulated. » «ooc: But I didn't get to say. » «ooc: Both. » ... «ooc: K. » «ooc: * notices it says 'needles' instead of 'needle' and baps himself. » It looks like there's no doubts where they are now. «ooc: Shane. » «ooc: Shane! WARPG2 » Well. This is fun. * Allen glowers. «ooc: So much for no RP. ^^; » Rayle: Snzz «ooc: now you can RP. » «ooc: or not. it's boring enough that you might all be quiet or sleeping. » You know.. * Allen stands as best he can. <> ..perhaps we should have done a bit of triangulation first. >> There isn't a lot of room with the three horses, but he manages to stand up. «ooc: Have him hit his head on the roof or something. » That way we can get a general idea of how far we have to go. And if Death and Zed are in the same place. «ooc: Allen: I feel that...*yawn* That...that...um...I forgot. *Sits down and falls asleep* ^^ » It's a wonder no one thought of it earlier. «ooc: Can you actually do that? I dunno much about triangulation. » *** Shane (mcgrue@bgm-24-169-175-228.stny.rr.com) has left #warpg << well, I dunno what triangulation is first off. ;) >> «ooc: I thought it required two points. » I don't care. I just want to get this over with so I can leave without feeling guilty. «ooc: yeah, two points. » «ooc: go north a bit, see what compasses say. » «ooc: Ah. » «ooc: measure difference in readings. » «ooc: That makes sense. » Starling: ...want me to? Well, Hikaru. I guess it's up to you. * Allen sits down again. «ooc: Who's watching the compasses, btw? » * Joseph looks at Allen. "Give me the Death compass." «ooc: Me, I guess. » «ooc: the COMPASS OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM » It will look the same, no matter who carries it, Joseph. .... * Allen hands it to him, though. Allen, we could always do it with some teamwork and the horses too, but if Starling can make it with the Rider it'd be best. * Joseph looks at the compass, then back at the others. Alright, this is what we can do. You mean.. triangulate using the horses? Well, I guess so. * Joseph looks at Neydisa. "You can cast swift on one of the horses while the «ooc: EVIL. » * Joseph looks at Neydisa. "You can cast swift on one of the horses while the Rider holds it position. I'll take a horse to a different spot and note the compass." Starling: Rider can do it fine alone. .oO( Dammit. Why am I so upset?! I should be happy we are doing something constructive. ) * Joseph looks at Starling. "It would be faster this way." «ooc: [Joseph] Starling...you will respecy my authority! >_< » «ooc: respect even. » I agree with Starling. We should stay in the same vehicle to take the readings. In fact, may I have that compass back, please? ...no. Starling: Check it. And Neydisa. Could I borrow your compass as well? That's true Joseph, but I don't want to strain the horses too unevenly... let's try this way first. Oh, my regular one? >> Starling pivots his wrist, and the Iron Rider turns. * Allen glowers at Joseph. Fine. You do it incorrectly and we'll see how long it takes to find Death. * Neydisa takes out her simple seaman's compass, offering it to Allen. * Joseph ignores Allen. .oO( This is foolish. I should never have brought it up. ) Lah tah dah... can you just fucking stop arguing for long enough to realize that the comapsses may have changed while you were bitching? «ooc: Allen could check the OTHER compass. ^_~ » >> Luckily, they haven't. «ooc: Compasses » «ooc: Yes, I was going to :) » * Joseph tosses Allen the compass. "Whatever, but we need to make notes using both compasses at both points. That way we will also know if Death and that idiot have split up." * Allen realizes Neydisa said something to him. << You can take Ney's one for calibration with absolute direction if you want. :) >> Oh, er.. yes. I need to make sure we are pointing in the correct direction. :) >> Starling accellerates the Rider again, this time going at a direction permendicular to their previous path. * Neydisa hands it over. "just stay focused Allen.. I trust your work." :) * Allen lines up all three compasses and makes a note at which degree they all point to. >> A couple minute drag by. «ooc: MINUTES » Starling, can you tell me how far we've traveled in this direction when we stop? Starling: Want a mile? Two? *** Koryn (Me_Likey@a238.delmarva.net) has joined #warpg I guess two will be fine. The greater the distance the more accurate the reading. Starling: ......... Starling: .................... Starling: .............................. << Gayo. ^^ >> Starling: ..............................now. «ooc: how.......descriptive. » >> He slows the rider. * Allen checks the compasses, lining them up to match Neydisa's at north. Then he checks what degree of changed has occured. «ooc: change. » >> There is no apparent change. «ooc: Damn, that means they be really far away. » * Allen scratches his head. Well.. I'm not seeing any difference. * Neydisa looks over Allen's shoudler. "There should have been at least a little change.. how far did they go?" So we could keep going north to get a reading, or we could just continue east. ...you have your notes. Now lets continue to follow the compass while you do your math. «ooc: compass needle even. » That means they're either on the other side of the world, or we're moving towards them. Joseph. There's nothing to work out. There was no change. So that means they are either very very far away, or we haven't gone north far enough to get a reading. Then it means they are really far away, and the more time we waste here dicking off, then the farther they will get. >> Starling shrugs imperceptibly and continues north. What do you say, Hikaru? And Neydisa. What do you think? * Neydisa sighs. "Please, don't argue about it... we just need another reading to double check, then we head east." Rayle: I think yeh all talk too much... ... >> Rayle looks up briefly then goes back to sleep on the back of one of the horse's. very probably. * Hikaru glances at Rayle and shrugs. Fine, take another reading. If you decide to go north again, then I'll start walking east. I'll find Death myself. Joseph, you're a fucking retard. Just thought you'd like to know. * Allen doesn't even pay Joseph any mind. «ooc: Ahh, Joseph, king of the Bad Idea. » * Joseph ignores Hikaru. Joseph, we're not here to find Death, the main thing is Zed's safety. «ooc: Yes he is. ;) » * Hikaru ignores Joseph ignoring him. «ooc: ^_^ Yaaay. » * Allen waits for an interval and then asks Starling, "How far have we gone now?" Starling: Five. * Joseph looks at Neydisa. "No I told Shane that I was only after Death. Thats why I'm here. I could care less about that green haired idiot." * Allen checks his compass setup. Joseph... you saw what he can do.. if you chase him alone, I don't know what will happen. -_- .oO( How do I even know these work? ;_; ) Hey, there's a slight change here. * Joseph shrugs. "If something happens, then it happens. «ooc: " » Ney, why do you care? Joseph hasn't done anything for your respect. * Allen does some math... * Hikaru shrugs. "But I'm talking too much again." << Hik's real wrong about that. ;) >> * Allen frowns. «ooc: Yes I know. ;) » Well, according to my calculations... «ooc: I've always wanted to say that. » * Neydisa opens her mouth to say soemthing, but turns at the suggestion of progress. ^^ They are both about 500 miles away. «ooc: Well, that's what I get for not getting fucked up in the spirit world HAHA » There is a margin of error, though. They could be as far as 750 miles away. ...Fucking spiffy. So we've got half a day's journey to get where they are NOW, and by then they'll probably be another 750 miles away... Assuming we don't have ocean. *** DNW (dnwwheeler@pool0887.cvx21-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net) has joined #warpg Well. I wonder if the rider can tread water. «ooc: Gayo! :o Where you go? » «ooc: I'm here, what? » With us, four horses, and the rider? Doubt it. «ooc: Oh. Nothing, you left WARPG2 :) » Are we going now, or do you all want to sit here and argue like stupid bafoons while they travel even farther. Argue while we travel. Just don't bitch to me. * Allen ignores Joseph. Starling: Turning. 750 will take ten hours. All right. Thank you, Starling. Joseph's right.. Allen could even be off in favor of us, too... >> Rayle sneezes, ruining the image of him sleeping. Rayle: 'Ow bloody fast is this thing? Starling: Do the math. «ooc: I guess WE.. CAN'T.. DRIVE.. FIFTY FIIIIVE! ahem. That was bad. » Rayle: *muttergrumble* We're all gonna die if yeh crash this thin'. *muttergrumble* We're all gonna die if you crash this thing...not that that's not preferrable... Don't worry, Rayle. Starling is a good driver. .oO( I hope! :/ ) «ooc: Yeah, Starling practiced by playing Crazy Taxi. ;) » «ooc: oh no! » «ooc: Aaaghh! » «ooc: Evil ;_; » «ooc: LOL. » * Neydisa sighs. "Starling hasn't let us down before. Just let him drive, please..." * Allen wanders over to a horse and mumbles affectionately to it. >> Meanwhile, outside, the terrain has gone from rocky to prairie and is becoming rocky again. «ooc: HORSW WHISPERER » «ooc: GH » «ooc: FLU » «ooc: PLU? » «ooc: bloo? » «ooc: flu? That would be hoarse whisperer. » «ooc: SHMOO :D » << Hope we don't have Mister Ed in ehre :) >> «ooc: boo. » «ooc: THE TIME AT THE TONE WILL BE 11 BEEP » «ooc: FUU FUU! » «ooc: ^_^ Game. Yis. *Goes back to fucking SHane in WARPG2 ;) » «ooc: LOL. » «ooc: PUU PUUU!! * kicks Mokona. » Rayle: Ten hours with these beasts. 'At's wonderful. >> Rayle rolls over on the horse's back. Rayle: Leas' th' 'orses aren't bad. I'd offer you a carrot, but I don't know if you'd benefit from it's inherent mana power. «ooc: Have one poop on him. I saw a cow poop before. And two turkeys have sex. Maybe that's why I'm messed up ^_^ » «ooc: its. » «ooc: blinks. » «ooc: EWWWWWW! » «ooc: I doubt it, Lucca. » «ooc: ^_^ 5th grade farm field trip :D » «ooc: LOL. » «ooc: it takes more than that. » << ^^;;; >> «ooc: Joke? :D » «ooc: Yis :) » * Neydisa looks at one of the mares and pats it's head a little... .oO( I hope we get there before this gets bad... we might be a worse enemy than Death is. :/ ) * Allen pets the horse a bit and smiles. >> Time drags on slowly...Starling slows the rider somewhat as they enter a mountainous region once again, and despite their breakneck speed, they seem to almost be plodding along as the sun climbs higher and higher towards its noonday crest. Animals don't have to worry about all the things that people do. You are a lucky one, you are. * patpat. «ooc: Horse: Feed me, Seymour! » Horse: People get to go wherever they want and can eat more than just oats. Lucky bastards. «ooc: hehe. » << heh. ^^ >> * Allen blinks. «ooc: LOL. That reminds me of Vay so much. "Hehe...you wnat to go for a ride?" When you talk to horses. ^^ » «ooc: you know what we forgot to bring... » «ooc: Food? » << WEll,w e had horse food at least. ^^ >> «ooc: A means of relieving ourselves? » «ooc: FOOD! Oh well. If this is like a console RPG, PCs never eat unless it's in the storyline. :) » «ooc: Like Cecilia, for example. » «ooc: You do need to eat food. I'm assuming you all carry rations with you. » «ooc: oh goodie. » «ooc: we'd be dead by now, if that wasn't so :) » << Yeah, I usually put it out of mind unless the situation is crucial. ^^ >> * Allen hums to himself. * Neydisa leans over to Starling a little. "How far have we gone do you think?" I spy with my little eye.. something that begins with.. 'H'. Starling: *shrug* Hundred? .oO( I should shoot him for that..... ) Rayle: 'Orse. Not 'O', Rayle. oh. Sorry, yes. Rayle: Starts with'n H, yeh berk. 'Orse. «ooc: Berk? lol » Rayle: Righto. I spy, wif my little eye, somethin' wot begins wif...h. «ooc: Hehe. This is more fun than chardev. :D » * Allen sits down and munches on half a carrot. Um.. You've got me. * Neydisa nods slightly, and glances at the compasses lined up for any minute change except due east. * Allen gives a each horse a little bit of carrot. >> The compasses seem to be pointing more southeasternly now. Rayle: I win. Go me. «ooc: >> The horses each gain 1 MP! » * Neydisa blinks. "Hey, Allen.. look at this." «ooc: no.. ration carrot ;) » * Allen glances over to Neydisa. «ooc: heh. » Hmm? * Allen looks at the compasses. The reading has shifted some. They are more southernly. oh, hey. Starling, the compasses are pointing southeast now. Rayle: I'd 'ope so, we're 'ittin' th'bloomin' coast soon. >> Starling grunts and changes headings slightly. * Allen picks up the Zed compass and hands it to Starling. You should have this. ......Why not give Starling a compass so he can make chang...good boy. >> Rayle goes back to sleep...time drags on...the sun reaches its high point and begins to gradually descend. The Rider enters a mountain pass and slows down further as Starling begins navigating difficult terrain. .oO( BOY?! >_< ) «ooc: ;D » * Allen resists the temptation to fry Joseph where he sits. «ooc: I'm older then you so I can call you boy. >;D » «ooc: yep :) » «ooc: Fight! Also you've got the horses between you, which would make for a fun battle. » «ooc: not even, Gayo. » << ^^; >> «ooc: brb » «ooc: me too, brb. » *** Shane (mcgrue@bgm-24-169-175-228.stny.rr.com) has joined #warpg *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Shane «ooc: Yeah, I fire the machine gun and kill 2 of the horses because Allen is ducking behind them. » «ooc: Hey Shane, Ellena tells us that you two were having wild sex in the other chan. » « OOC: UNF UNF UNF » << That'd suck.. we've got lots of collateral on those! ^^; >> «ooc: >:D » «ooc: Does Lisa know? » « OOC: Lisa likes Shane :) » «ooc: Then that would make her jealous of Ellena. ^_- » « OOC: Nono... She likes what Shane is, and what he does :) » « OOC: We're also conducting a voodoo ritual to turn Hikaru into a pile of splat where he stands. Mwahaha. » «ooc: That would rock. » « OOC: Joe's firing at Allen? <:o » «ooc: No, we were just talking what a battle would be like in the rider. » << heh.. >> «ooc: back. » << You shouldn't fight and kill the horses, because then we can't ride off into the sunset like a good cowboy should. ^_- >> «ooc: hehe. » << btw, you do realise we only have 3 horses... >> «ooc: Yep. » << So are we going to split once we find Zed? ;) >> «ooc: Back. » * Allen puts away the crest graph he was fingering and retakes his seat on the floor. «ooc: Not sure. We will either all face Death for Zed, then have a scouting party go ahead of the rider, or split up before that. Well thats what I think. » >> Starling stops the rider. «ooc: Allen...@_@ OBSCENE. » «ooc: Allen fingers his crest graphs! » «ooc: Bah, that wasn't obscene. :P » << Hentai Dek. :P >> «ooc: To a bunch of hentai freaks like us...yes it was. » * Neydisa pipes up. "What's wrong?" «ooc: La la la THRILL as WARPG moves at a pace that makes Dragon Ball Z seem random, spontaneous, and in-your face! » «ooc: They do this whenever someone uses "finger" as a verb. » «ooc: LOL! » Starling: Too narrow. «ooc: i'm trying to communicate the boredom, Hik. ^_^ » * Allen peeks out the window. I thought this might happen... «ooc: Feel the love, Gayo? ^^ » «ooc: Plus do you REALLY want me to say "then, after eight hours of sitting around..." » What's the bearing on the compass so far? «ooc: Joseph wouldn't care. ^_- » «ooc: No, because then it WOULD be DBZ » «ooc: compass is still E-SE » «ooc: Well, there you go. ^_~ » * Allen checks the Death compass. East Southeast. Same with the Zed compass, Starling? Starling: Mm. Starling: Hang on. «ooc: I think Starling ate the compass. » >> Starling grumbles and steps out of the rider, surveying the area. «ooc: Starling: Was good. Compass good. Napster bad » * Allen hops out of the the rider. * Neydisa takes a cautious step out too. * Allen looks around. Hmm.. «ooc: See Allen impersonate Starling. ;) » «ooc: I wish I had a hotplate. Or this computer was hooked up in the kitchen. I want to make some iced tea. » >> Starling draws the Thunderbird and blasts a couple of shots at the offending mountain walls. The explosion rocks the mountainside and echoes far off into the distance, and rock chips fly everywhere as huge boulders crash down nearby. * Allen takes cover :/ * Neydisa jumps a little at the huge explosion, covering herself and backing away behind the Rider. «ooc: Allen: Wah. i could get you nestea here ;_; » >> Starling shoves the ARM into its holster and steps back into the vehicle. "Problem solved." «ooc: eh, that's okay ^^; » * Allen shrugs and offers Neydisa a hand up into the Rider. I... er... I guess so. *** DNW (dnwwheeler@pool0887.cvx21-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net) Quit (Ping timeout) * Neydisa takes Allen's hand. ^^ «ooc: Apres vous, madamoiselle. Ooh la la! » Starling: Mountains end here. << hehe. ^^ >> Starling: Got peat bogs coming up. Can't proceed in the rider in this direction. Hmm. Can we go around? * Allen wonders if anyone has a map.. :/ >> Starling: Not fast. Starling: How much time you wanna waste? Well, Hikaru. Joseph. What do you say? We can trudge through with the horses, but it'll still be slow. * Allen also glances at Neydisa, but doesn't recall her being in a major hurry to face death. * Joseph shrugs. "Lets just get there." Hikaru? >> Rayle takes his paws off his hears. "Cor blimey, that was a racket. Wassall this about?" «ooc: EARS » «ooc: Lah lah lah :D » «ooc: ^_^ » Starling blasted a hole in a mountain wall so we could get through. Now he says we're going to arrive at the peat bogs and the rider can't go through. Rayle: Great. Bloody lovely. «ooc: Be cool if I could use the animal flute to summon a giant falcon or something and just fly overhead. But I doubt I can. » Rayle: So...wot, turn back? Nother five hours? «ooc: You could if there was a falcon that big around, but...there ain't. ^_~ » «ooc: hehe. » «ooc: Call the Raven :D » We can't just turn back... «ooc: Raven is in the spirit world. » «ooc: Is the Rider moving at the moment? » «ooc: I know ;) » «ooc: Not yet. » ...I can. * Hikaru starts to get out of the rider... Rayle: 'ey! I ain't walkin all 'at way! Wait, where are you going? What? Hikaru, wait.. * Allen clambers out of the rider after Hikaru. * Joseph looks to Starling. "....how far have we travelled?" Starling: *shrug* Two hundred? ...I'm sick of this. I don't see any point in this wild goose chase after death. Sure, you all have your own personal vendettas, sure it's for the good of the world, so? That shouldn't mean anything to someone like me. But.. * Allen frowns. >> Rayle picks at his fur a bit, then floats out after Hikaru. "'E's got a point, chums." So you're just going to walk back? Rayle: 'At's a problem, true. I don't know. If I do, what does it matter, regardless? Anyway, we're trying to find Zed, mostly. Sure, Joseph thinks he's going to have the final showdown with Death, but we're out here to get Zed back. Rayle: Course, yeh could give us one o' 'em 'orses. * Neydisa looks down at the ground, thinking. Hikaru.. we need your help. *** Blaze (capote824@dhcp88123.dev.fsu.edu) has joined #warpg ...Why? You have the money for Starling. * Joseph starts to think...".........Can't you just blow up the ground to get rid of the holes?" «ooc: Er...bogs. ^^; Not holes. My bad. » * Allen turns away. "I thought you cared." I thought I did too. Turns out there's not much in this world that deserves to be saved. Hikaru, don't speak like that... Rayle: Wouldn't say issat bad, 'Ik. Just a question o' choosin' priorities. Starling: ... Starling: We're wasting time. << why don't we split here then? We three can go through the bogs eh? ^^ >> ...I know. * Hikaru shrugs. "They're the ones stopping me, Starling." * Hikaru turns around and starts to walk... * Allen follows him. >> Rayle floats along after Hikaru, with Allen behind him. «ooc: * is tempted to lock on to Hikaru's leg and peg him using the Cormorant. » * Hikaru stops. "Why...?" >> Joseph and Neydisa are left standing outside the Rider. *** Koryn (Me_Likey@a238.delmarva.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) What about back at Adlehyde. You were very devoted to finding death then. What has happened since then, Hikaru? *** Blaze (capote824@dhcp88123.dev.fsu.edu) Quit (Quit: Leaving) ... Rayle: Bes' not teh ask, chum. This is fucking stupid. Neydisa, prepare the horses. Lets go. I thought it was my job to protect Amelia then. Now, nothing. Go back with Neydisa and Joseph, Allen. I'm not going with you, but I don't want to hold you back. * Allen frowns. * Neydisa looks to Joseph, and then to the receding Hikaru.. Starling...give me the compass. I can't.. I can't just let you walk off into nowhere. * Neydisa then looks up to Starling in the Rider. "If you can't go ahead, can you turn around and take Hik safely to Saint Centour?" >> Starling flips the compass to Joseph absently. Starling: Sure. [coldly] I didn't know you cared for me that way, Allen. * Joseph catches it anc checks the needle on it. «ooc: and even. ^^; » >> Southeast. Hikaru. I have an obligation to my friends. We had to split and find Watcher... maybe this is where that happens.. :/ >> Starling turns the Rider around slowly, pulling up beside Hikaru. * Allen shakes his head. «ooc: Did we unload the horses? » * Neydisa starts unloading the horses before Starling pulls away. ^^ Well. I hope you find what you are looking for, Hikaru. * Hikaru lookst to Starling and the Rider. "...And what do you want? I'm not paying you, I'm surprised you're even paying attention to me." Rayle: Umm, 'Ik, if 'e's lettin' us 'itch'ike, I ain't complainin'. * Joseph looks at Neydisa. "I hate to say this, but if its only us then we had better just rescue Zed and not face off against Death." Rayle: Floatin' ain't much more fun than walkin', yer know. * Allen pulls out 300 Gella and hands it to Starling. ... Is that it, Starling? * Neydisa retrieves her compass, and saddles a horse. "I'm glad you reconsidered." She smiles. Starling: Whatever. ... * Hikaru shrugs. "Fine." * Hikaru proceeds to get back into the rider, sighing. -_-; Alright. Ready the horses. * Neydisa does just that, waving Allen back over... * Allen awkwardly mounts a horse. "Be well, Hikaru." >> Starling kicks the Rider into gear without waiting for tearful goodbyes. * Hikaru nods, knowing Allen doesn't see him. «ooc: Okay, we're just doing the horse group now. » * Neydisa checks that Allen's ok and does an agile hop onto the back of her mount. "Do you ahve the Death compass too, just incase?" * Joseph looks at Neydisa. "How long will it take to swift the horses?" Yes, I have it. «ooc: It'll take about 10 mins. » * Allen shakes his head, thinking to himself. «ooc: Yes, but Joseph doesn't know that. ;) » «ooc: I'm telling Storen. » «ooc: Oh. ^^; » Joseph, I can't swift them through the bogs ahead.. we'll have to find more stable ground or we risk breaking something... .oO( I wonder what happened to him. ) * Joseph nods. "Makes sense." * Joseph mounts a horse. But it shouldn't take that long.. several minutes at best. * Allen is abruptly brought back to reality when he realizes he's never been on horseback before. Alright, lets move out......and don't lag behind. uh... okay... er.. * Neydisa pats her horse, grabs the reins, and looks at the pass. "Allen's I'll stay behind you just incase..." << er -'s >> * Allen sweatdrops. Just hold on tightly, and follow the lead of Joseph, ok? Keep an eye on the compass too. * Allen tries his best to make his intentions clear to the horse. "Um.. go that way.. er.." -_-; ...I already have a compass. Lets just go. >> The group, now greatly diminished, sets off at a trot towards the bogs which stretch out on the level horizon. .oO( And to think I would be having summer vacation at this point. What a life. ) * Neydisa pulls up beside Allen, showing him how to tug on the reins in such a way to communicate to his horse as they go. :) * Allen imitates Neydisa's movements, and manages to confuse the horse to no end. *** Hader-Shower is now known as Heather * Joseph slows down a bit until he is riding next to Allen. "Make sure you keep an eye on that compass in case the needles may vary." >> The air reeks with the smell of sulphur, and it's hotter than it ever was in Saint Centour... Just relax, and don't do all of them at once.. it's like your magic, just practical. ^^ >> The plants are unusual here, gnarled and wispish. « OOC: Joe looks like a geek in glasses ;) » «ooc: LOL. » Yes, Joseph. «ooc: whoa, lag. » «ooc: I'm thinking they work like most equippable items do in RPGs. You equip it and they suddenly dissappear eventhough they are equipped on you. ;) » Neydisa, I'm afraid magic and horses have little in common. -_-;; >> A shadow falls over the mountain pass, abruptly chilling the air. * Joseph moves ahead of the two. * Neydisa sighs a little, and turns her attention to the terrain... «ooc: The Death compass starts spinning like mad! :D » * Allen glances about. "Wha.." *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP195.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) has joined #WARPG «ooc: LOL » * Neydisa notes the abrupt change in temperature, with a nervous glance about. * Joseph is ignoring the change in the temperature, concentrating on the terrain and the compass. * Allen looks at the death compass for a moment. <> << brb.. >> >> Distant to the point of being imperceptible, it's now impossible to ignore the roaring sound accompanying the shadow... «ooc: Do I see some type of aura in the shadow? » «ooc: My eyes hurt. » «ooc: No. it's just a shadow. » «ooc: Look for what's casting it. ^_~ » «ooc: What's that screaming noise? It's just a shadow. » It's probably just another storm rolling in... *looks behind her quickly* * Joseph remembers what Shane said about the glasses and starts to scan the area. *** Blaze (capote824@dhcp88123.dev.fsu.edu) has joined #warpg >> There's nothing around them. However, the sky is rather suddenly blotted out by the silhouette of an enormous bird. * Allen sees those glasses on Joseph. .oO( Shane could have made them a bit more fashionable. ) Looks at his clothes. .oO( oh, touché. ) * Allen goes wide-eyed. * Neydisa looks up at the bird overhead, reminded of a certain something... «ooc: Raven? :D » .....I thought the Raven was only in the spirit world... << Yeah, but how could he exist here? :) >> Maybe it isn't Mr. Raven... I can't really tell. >> It's too big to be raven....and raven never made this ROARING sound. I don't think it's him... * Allen is reminded of something quite different. But the thought is fleeting and is gone in a moment. ...I didn't think a bird that big existed. I think we should get away from here.. Joseph, is the ground ahead a little more stable? We might need to hurry this up if that roar means what I think... o_o * Allen urges his horse forward. >> It blasts past them in a rush, and they find themselves all staring at the sun. * Joseph covers his eyes. Neydisa...I think your right. Lets hurry up. >> The bird gleams in the light, roaring past the group and off towards the horizon. «ooc: *wonders if he can get that bird to help them out.* :D » «ooc: Ack, BRB. You can try. » * Joseph slowly stops and pulls out his flute. "Hold on. Let me try this..." * Joseph starts to play the flute. * Allen never imagined Joseph a piper. He smiles a bit. * Neydisa looks away a sec at the glare, and refocuses on the path and the flute she starts to hear. "Wait, that flute again. Just what are you doing?" * Joseph continues to play...semi ignoring Neydisa. * Allen blinks. *** Gayo (foon@ip142166207100.nbtel.net) Quit (Ping timeout) Ney, is that more than just a flute? << erk. >> «ooc: oops. » «ooc: Doh... » I saw him playing it once on the ship... >> Nothing happens at first...and then the bird explodes. «ooc: Woo! » «ooc: BAD JOE! NO COOKIE » >> The sky is lit on fire as it slowly descends towards the bog trailing smoke and flames. * Allen goes wide-eyed. * Allen rounds on Joseph. "What did you just do?!" ...That wasn't me. --SESSION END-- Session Close: Sun Oct 01 20:10:20 2000
