--- Session 22: Steam and Fire --- Session Start: Sun Nov 05 16:52:41 2000 --SESSION START-- «ooc: Oh that's promising :o » << hehe :) >> >> The Metal Bird soars through the sky like a harbinger of dawn, the morning sun glinting off its sleek exterior. The ground far below zooms by in a blur, and clouds roil past the windows like ribbons of dew. «ooc: game on » * Shane stares out the cockpit, lost in the view. «ooc: You forgot to add on that description that it crashed in the bog again. ;) » «ooc: Err...add to that discription even. » Marlene: Whooooooo! I was born to fly! * Ellena quietly looks out one of the windows, a little nervous but enthralled with the view at the same. ^^; >> Kestrel fiddles with the pommel of his sword, looking nervous himself. * Allen is plastered to the window, watching the world spin by. «ooc: same time, even » * Shane sighs. Whyfor is anyone's guess. * Hikaru just fidgets * Joseph is quiet as usual. Rayle: Eh. S'more fun not flyin' in a bloody great 'house. * Neydisa stays in her seat, looking around at the bird's interior as the view streaks by in her window, thinking abotu sailing through a sea of clouds... >> Rayle presses his cheeks up to the window and makes faces. «ooc: What's the apostrophe in front of house for? » * Ellena giggles a little at Rayle. ^^; «ooc: Er, 'ouse. » Marlene: It's not a house! It's a flying machine! Rayle: Eh. Machine...right...*mumble* * Hikaru shrugs "Machine, machoon, whatever. It flies, it's a flying house." To call the Metal Bird a mere machine is to insult it. It's just amazing it works... I wonder how it is to pilot something like this.. I'm sorry, Shane... Rayle: Shane's right...s'not just a machine, it's an' ORANGE machine. * Shane turns to Ellena, confused? Marlene: It's fun! But only an expert like me can do it! ^_^ I'm sorry I called it a machine. ^^: It's...well..it is one, isn't it? * Hikaru chuckles Oh, I didn't hear you. You were kinda mumbling. I was responding to our pilot... Oh...Okay. My mistake. ...at any rate, it's not a machine or a house, so much as she's a ship. And a rather noble one, at that... * Allen goggles, "pretty clouds..." * Shane smiles brightly. Not like any ship I've ever seen, that's for sure... * Hikaru shrugs. "Gets us from point A to point B...t's all that matters." * Neydisa sighs a little. «ooc: Tenderness in the Air is on. Is there tenderness in the air where we are? :) » «ooc: * pokes it. » «ooc: Tender, Al? :) » «ooc: yeah, it's tender. Ready to eat! » «ooc: Ooh! *Gobbles it* » Be it in the sea or in the sky, it sails... «ooc: Pig! I wanted some too! ;_; » I only wish it were night out... But if it were night, you couldn't see the ground... But then it would be hard to see the clouds.. «ooc: No, there's smut in the air. » «ooc: O_o! » «ooc: Oh you die, Gayo ^_^ » Rayle: Why night? No, no ground... but a sea full of stars it would be... Stars...hmmm... * Ellena leans back in her chair and looks thoughtful. A sea of stars and clouds.. it sounds so beautiful. * Shane 's eyes are a bit starry. Have been since takeoff... Kestrel: Be careful not to let yourselves get distracted. Remember our goal. >> The bogs are long gone, and the shadow of the Bird now whisks across fields of yellowed grass. «ooc: Killjoy :D » * Allen doesn't know which he would enjoy more. Stars or clouds. Death. He dies. * Joseph starts picking his nails with a small tool from his toolkit. Rayle: 'Ow ironic. * Hikaru shrugs. "That would help if we were in -Seim- already, kid... «ooc: brb » «ooc: What was that in response to? O_o » * Shane sighs again, and looks over the notes he scrawled down while working on the engine. «ooc: Kestrel's line » «ooc: >> Shane's notes are nothing but stick drawings of Hikaru with arrows pointing saying BAD! » * Neydisa straightens in her seat. "Allen, you still have the compasses, right?" «ooc: kestrel is a lot older than Hik. ^_!~ » << lol >> « OOC: ;) » * Allen rips his eyes away from the window for a moment. er.. * Allen checks. «ooc: AAH! Clue! is on!! :o » >> The compasses continue to point in the same direction: the direction the Bird is headed in, New Seim. *** Bahamut (bahamut@brndas06-p26.mts.net) has joined #WARPG «ooc: Clue rocks! » << heh. Hey Baha. :) >> «ooc: I'll bring over a tape next time, just play now ;) » «ooc: Mr. Green is the best! :D » «ooc: Baha ;D » << G'day. :) >> * Ellena hums something lightly under her breath...almost seeming lost in thought. * Allen hands the compasses to Neydisa and goes back to his cloud watching. «ooc: Everyone is saying Hi Baha, so I shall say iH ahaB instead. » «ooc: Rebel! » «ooc: * Bahamut goes to hunt the Great White Whale » «ooc: Down with you all! *fires the machine gun like mad.* » * Neydisa blinks and takes the compasses. "I guess that answers my question.." ^^ She looks at Allen and his window watching with a slight sigh of nostalgia, like ehr first ride on a steamer... >> Rayle floats over to Ellena and sits on her head, peering down. "'Ow ya doin', squire?" * Allen mutters something about "Cumulonimbus." * Ellena stops humming and smiles a little. "Just remembering a time when I was little...and my parents would take me to look at the stars." «ooc: * needs to remember to buy another clip and some berries when we reach Seim. » * Shane looks at Ellena, and smiles, remembering things of his own... Rayle: Aye. Stars're nice. >> he doesn't say anything else. «ooc: Mountains're nice. » «ooc: Trees're nice. » «ooc: Rayle: 'loody plane crashes're nice » «ooc: CLOUDS'RE nice! :D » «ooc: Does that mean that Rayle will give me a speed tab? » « OOC: Murderers're nice » << lol :) >> Kestrel: Miss Alephtina...what is our estimated time of arrival. « OOC: food is nice, too. brb <:o » Marlene: Not much longer now! I have it in SUPER FAST mode! * Hikaru chuckles a bit Just be careful getting us to the ground Marlene.. ^^ «ooc: >> Kestrel checks the speedometer...and sweatdrops. "10 miles an hour." » Marlene: That part's easy...it does it even if you turn the engines off. ^^; Super fast mode...? * Allen mutters something about "Cirro-stratus." * Neydisa pales. "But then we'd drop like a rock in the ocean." ^^; Marlene: Don't worry! I'm the flying EXPERT! « OOC: too hungry ;_; » * Marlene does a few dizzying twists and turns to demonstrate. «ooc: Grue, get some bread or something. ^_~ » «ooc: Marlene: But I don't know what this flashing red light under the word Danger means. » « OOC: got some chips :/ » * Allen is shoved up against the window. "oww, my nose.." * Ellena grabs onto her seat in vertigo! O_o "Miss...Miss Marlene, please don't twist the ship like that..." «ooc: Eat the chips. » « OOC: > Eat Chips » « OOC: I do not know the word "Chips" » * Neydisa urks a bit, holding on, yet still slightly dizzied. "Point proven, Marlene!" « OOC: > Eat Potato Chips » « OOC: You do not have the "Potato Chips" » * Joseph slides along the floor as Marlene pulls off her stunts. He is now sitting in the center of the area, still minding his business. ...geh..chips.. @_@ «ooc: Hikaru? O_O » Rayle: Wossat? What's what? I feel kinda nauseous now... ^^; * Ellena looks up at Rayle, who's still on her head. ^^ * Shane stares out the window... Rayle: Yeh say 'chips' when yer nauseous? * Allen tears his face away from the window and looks for an in-flight magazine. Maybe he lost his senses for a moment? >> Allen finds a dirty screwdriver. Erhm.. ^^; hrmm. «ooc: LOL Allen :) You find an emergency card instead! ;) » «ooc: >> Allen finds a guide that says..."In case of an emergency, Allen can be used as a floatation device." » >> Kestrel fiddles, peering out the window frequently. * Allen wrinkles his nose in distaste. Kestrel: Almost. * Allen digs through his bag for something to read. "Bah, I'm missing out on Magician Monthly.." Marlene: Yay! Hang on tight! We're going doooooooooooooown! D...down? ^^; * Allen assumes crash posision ;_; * Shane sighs slowly * Joseph looks around for something that his grappling hook can hold on to. >> Marlene pushes forward on the throttle and the ship dives abruptly, shoving the passengers' stomachs into their throats. * Shane heads to the engine room, just in case. G..gah! * Ellena closes her eyes tightly, looking sick. * Shane 's rather thrown to the floor. * Shane doesn't say anything, and going from handhold to handhold, works his way back. * Allen glances at a card in the seatback "In case of water landing, your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device..." * Neydisa holds onto the compasses tightly, and swallows instinctively at the pressure. ^^ * Allen sweatdrops. * Hikaru mumbles. "In case of water landing, the resident mage can be used as a flotation device...*urp*" * Allen gulps. * Joseph was expecting this after experiencing it first hand before, so he was prepared. «ooc: *needs to start dealing damage to Hik every time he usurps an OOC comment. ^_~* » << lol. >> «ooc: Allen's comment wasn't OOC though :) » « OOC: heh » «ooc: But mine was. » «ooc: Ah ha ;D » This...this doesn't...feel...ooogh... * Allen would love to use a midge mallet on Hikaru, but he's rather busy trying to keep his lunch down. «ooc: We need to find a way to make Shatner's spirit leave Ellena's body. » «ooc: She's sick :P Leave her alone. » «ooc: lol! » «ooc: sorry Lucca ^^; » «ooc: ^_^ » >> The airship dives at a nearly vertical angle, spiralling towards the rapidly approaching ground below at nauseating speed before, rather suddenly, it levels out and begins to glide slowly towards a landing in a field of grass. « OOC: hee hee » Marlene: Whew, I did it. ^^; «ooc: Hey, the Midge Mallet aka Chibiko Hammer is Niki's hammer! » * Allen heaves a sigh. And I thought sailing was bad X_x Geezus, girl! O_o Learn to drive..! * Ellena still has her eyes closed. "Is it over?" >> Rayle rolls off Ellena's head and lands on the floor, bouncing and hovering. * Neydisa gasps a bit, and then lets out a sigh of relief mixed with a slight laugh at Allen. ^^ Marlene: Heey! Do you want to do this? >> Kestrel shakily stands. "Where are we?" * Shane starts throwing Engine disengagement switches as they come to a halt. No need tempting the psychopath into burning out the relic. * Allen peers out the window. Marlene: Right near the city. I thought they might get mad if I landed IN the city. Was that okay? Kestrel: Er..yes...very good. «ooc: ^_^ I love Mrs. White. » Capital thought, Marlene. * Neydisa checks the readings on the enchanted compass while she gets her bearings.. «ooc: YA! I forget the actress' name :/ » «ooc: Madeline Kahn. » >> The compasses appear to be pointing slightly away from the city. «ooc: Well, it was his job. He was an illusionist. "But he never reappeared!" He wasn't a very good illusionist. » «ooc: lol! » * Neydisa holds them up to Allen. "Looks like they aren't in the city proper at least.." * Ellena still has her eyes closed. ^^; * Allen blinks at the compasses. Poor Zed... Kestrel: Are you certain? Hmm, looks as if. * Joseph checks the Death compass to see if its different then the Zed compass. «ooc: Er...wait. » «ooc: Nuke that. ^^: » «ooc: Misread the >> line. ^^;;; » So what should we do? * Joseph stands up. "We should prepare." Kestrel: I don't want to take any risks. We should report to the federal police chief in new Seim and make him aware of the situation before we take any other course of action. * Hikaru taptaps Ellena on the shoulder. "Umm...'Lena." * Allen glances at Kestrel. .oO( This guy thinks of everything, doesn't he? ) * Neydisa gets to a standing position. "Yes, you're right. Someone in the city may have an eyewitness report if they passed by, too." Ride's over. We're all still living. ...I think. * Shane starts making a bit of noise from the Engine Room... * Ellena opens her eyes and blushes. "Oh!" * Allen checks his pulse. Yep. «ooc: Giving the rapid rate of my pulse...I should be unconscious in 3 seconds. 1...2...*slumps over.* » >> Kestrel straightens his clothes and hair, attempting to make himself somewhat more presentable. * Ellena stands up, still looking a little nauseous. * Neydisa turns her head. "Ellena, will you be alright?" *** Allen (~dont@dsl6400gw2poold13.ptld.uswest.net) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by zath))) *** Allen (~dont@dsl6400gw2poold13.ptld.uswest.net) has joined #warpg *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Allen I'll be okay...Thank you, though. Rayle: Airsick. 'umans are wussy 'at way. Ellena...^^; Need some saltines or somethin'? ^^; * Joseph heads over to the door and opens it. He then walks outside. «ooc: connection severed due to inactivity? O_o » Mister Kestral? Well Rayle, I'm just lucky I don't get motion sick easy... but that ride would do it to anyone.. ^^ «ooc: LOL. mIRC doesn't use that much bandwith, do it really doesn't register as activity. ^^; » << Yep. :) >> No...I'm feeling better already. «ooc: do = so. » «ooc: *scowls. "I'll give them activity" *goes to idrive. » «ooc: LOL. » Are there any government labs I could use in Seim? I think some rather delicate parts of the ship may need repair, or the ship could be lost irrevocably. * Hikaru hrms. "'Lena?" «ooc: Shane wants to break the Gemani circuits. » >> It's quite cold here compared to Adlehyde...the faded grass sways in a chilly breeze, and the peculiar city of New Seim sits nearby to the north, a mishmash of twisted metal and steam silhouetted against the horizon. «ooc: Remember, Seim is the country, New Seim is the place. » Yes 'Karu? * Shane waits for the agent's answer. Kestrel: I'm certain the officials there will be willing to assist us after we have completed our mission. Let's get going for now, though. Er...that is... * Shane nods. * Allen hugs his jacket close to warm himself. * Hikaru sweatdrops. "I forgot what I was gonna say. Sorry." ^^; * Ellena gives 'Karu a warm smile. "That's all right." * Neydisa looks at the landscape, talking to noone in particular. "New Seim... this is a democracy like Alexandria, if I remember..." «ooc: * Hikaru puts away the little velvet box. » * Allen exits the Bird, studying his surroundings. Kestrel: Something like that. Now when we get to the city, I want you all to let me do the talking. * Ellena exits the Bird, adjusting her cape around herself to keep warm. * Neydisa gathers her things, putting her old windbreaker on again in the chilly air. * Joseph is just standing outside while the wind causes his cloak to ripple in the air. * Hikaru exits the Bird, struggling to keep his hat on. His cloak ruffles in the wind a bit. «ooc: Joseph: hehehe...ripples are fun. » «ooc: Yep! » Alright, Mr. Kestrel... >> Rayle sits on Hikaru's hat, having a hard time floating against the wind. << Hmm.. fun with twilight Venum ^_^ >> «ooc: ^_^ Heh. » «ooc: And he calls himself a wind rat. ;o » «ooc: *needs to get that from Lucca* » «ooc: ^_^ hehe. » «ooc: Is listening to BOF4 now :) » << aww.. :p >> o Lucca always spoils everything for herself. ^_^ << Gayo's / is being naughty today ^^ >> «ooc: gfeh » «ooc: Gayo: ^_^ I might as well, considering I'll NEVER have bandwith like that at home :) » *** ThirtyPagesOfFrenchWork is now known as TenPagesOfFrenchWork «ooc: ... » * Shane exits the Bird, lugging his ubiquitous Pack-of-work... Are we ready to go? *** Radien (radiens@sdn-ar-002oreugeP174.dialsprint.net) has joined #WARPG Kestrel: Please. * Allen gets wind in his eyes which in turn begin to water. "agh." * Neydisa takes a few steps toward New Seim, feeling an odd deja vu in a way. «ooc: >> Allen takes 4 damage. » «ooc: wouldn't surprise me! » «ooc: heh. » Ready as I'll ever be. * Ellena follows Neydisa. She hugs her cape close to her body as the wind whips her hair around slightly. * Allen studies Neydisa's odd expression and wonders what she must be feeling. * Hikaru draws his sword. "Heh. Ready, yo." ^_^ * Joseph heads off towards New Seim leaving everyone else behind. This reminds me of when I stepped off the boat in the land of Opportunity.. I hope we have better luck than I did there... >> Kestrel is already on his way. * Hikaru follows Jojo the magic elf * Neydisa continues on to the city. «ooc: K...leaving everyone but Kestrel. » «ooc: I followed Joseph » * Allen frowns. .oO( I know litte of her past. I should ask her again some time. ) «ooc: Just a sec. » << aww ^_^ >> «ooc: You can keep talking and stuff, actually. » *** zack (burn@adsl-78-220-56.msy.bellsouth.net) has joined #WARPG *** zack (burn@adsl-78-220-56.msy.bellsouth.net) has left #WARPG * Ellena looks at 'Karu. "You're not too cold, are you 'Karu?" * Neydisa pulls up the hood closer about her head to keep her blue hair from flying about too much. I've never been to a land ruled by a democracy before. This should be interesting. «ooc: *sighs.* "Blue hair..." » I'm fine. Well, actually, Allen.. That's good...and you, Shane? I'll be fine in a few minutes. You're always cold before you start hiking. ...Then you get too warm rather quickly... Alexandria was a lot different from Seim. Here it's actually not a lot different from Adelhyde... breding controls your status just as much as wealth does. Ah.. I see. So it's just a shinier package with the same contents... >> After some walking, the group arrives at the entrance to the city of New Seim. The vista before them defies any simple description or categorization; onion domes sit side-by-side with gothic towers of grey stone and corrugated tin shanties, and smokestacks jut directly out of the ground, some belching smoke, others spewing towers of flame into the cloudy sky. >>Only two forms of style seem predominant: multicoloured tents abound despite the chilly weather, and many things seem to be formed from sheets of rust-coloured metal, including the ground itself, which appears to be the top of a large underground structure. >>People as varied as the buildings mill through the streets, wandering around through underground tunnels and along catwalks stretching from one iron tower to the next. Upbeat music emanates from a roadside cafe and melds with the sound of buskers' instruments, and the air is abuzz with voices and the sound of machinery. «ooc: Agh...flood! » Marlene: Woo! I'm home! *does a cute little dance* ^_^ * Neydisa shakes her head. "In either place, there are the poor and oppressed, even if it claims to be free..." * Hikaru sighs... * Neydisa looks at the city with a moment of awe and fascination. "It sure is as exotic as I heard.." o_o * Ellena looks at the town with some intrest. "Intresting design...but..." «ooc: Hey, we're still in the air? :D Cool. » So, Shane...What's our plan of action? Do we bunk up and get supplies here, or do we go right after ye olde spectre of death? Did you say this was your home, Marlene? * Allen smiles to see Marlene's enthusiasm. Well... Kestrel: *coughs at Hikaru's comment* Allow me to address that. * Shane grimaces. That reminds me. I don't know your name. Allen, can I see the compasses? Kestrel: We do not have the time to make any further preparations. Undoubtedly the federal police will lend us what...pardon? I am Sir Lennus Kestrel. * Neydisa holds out the compasses to Shane, sicne she was holding them. ^^ >> The compasses point slightly westward. * Joseph walks off by himself looking for the local Ammo Man. «ooc: http://rpgcafe.net/WARPG/files/teknokratia.mid , incidentallty. » * Shane continues walking and watching the compasses. If we're close enough, then we can triangulate... * Hikaru nods. "Okay, Len'. By the way...your resident gunman is wandering off. >> Joseph goes down a long winding passage and winds up coming out of an underground tunnel not far from where the party was. >> Kestrel scowls at Hikaru. Marlene: Heeey! Joey! * Joseph blinks. * Joseph walks up to Marlene. "...Where are the shops?" Marlene: *giggles* You can't wander around here if you don't know where you're going! Tourists are always getting lost. ^_^ You need an ARM guy? They're all over the place. Well how about you guide me. «ooc: I thought Marlene was from Adlehyde? » >> Marlene sticks two fingers into her mouth and whistles shrilly. Scant moments later, a man in a bowler hat, tuxedo, and bandolier and grenade belt vaults out of a window. "ARMs service here." «ooc: You thought wrong. :D » «ooc: ^_^ I did. » * Allen goggles at such prompt service. * Joseph blinks once again. * Ellena jumps back in surprise. O_o Marlene: Hi! Joey needs a refill. *she points to Joseph and beams* Urh... * Neydisa blinks. "This sure is your home." ^^ This place is freaking wierd. ARMs Man: *tips his hat* Right you are, miss. Evening, sir. What variety of ammunition are you looking for? It is a little busy for my tastes... «ooc: It is NEW YORK » Marlene: You get used to it! It's never dull here! «ooc: I SWEAR it is :O » << Represent! >> << :D >> «ooc: I can see it now... Hiwelcometoseim. ARMrefillsurewhatdoyou need. *Joseph refills his ARMS* Thankyouverymuchifyouxcusemei'llbeoff. *he darts off* » * Neydisa tilts her head to Shane. "Shane, do you think Death and Zed could be close enough to triangulate properly?" «ooc: Get back to your own RPG, you freak! » * Joseph looks at the ARMs dealer. "...er, clips." Perhaps... perhaps... * Shane continues walking and watching. ARMs Man: Ah! Preparation is the mark of a skilled adventurer, I always say. What can I interest you in? I have a variety in both the 3-shot and 8-shot size for all manner of ammunition and charge. * Allen glances at Shane and then at Kestrel, wondering what their next step should be. * Ellena decides to catch up with Shane, feeling a bit lost. :/ The 3-shot. * Neydisa stays close to everyone, not one to get lost in a city she isn't familiar with yet. ^^ >> Kestrel continues on, heading towards a large, monolithic tower of rusty metal in the center of a large courtyard. * Shane looks up, and sees Ellena. Something wrong? * Allen follows Neydisa and the others, rather sheepishly. >> The ARMs Dealer hands joseph an ARMs Clip. "Excellent choice, sir. That will be 200 gella." «ooc: The ammo man scares me. ;_; » << brb a sec.. >> Nothing, I think. I'm just trying not to get lost. * Hikaru looks around, kind of lost, but still following the lollypop troupe * Joseph pays the man. ARMs Man: Jolly good. >> Someone whistles in the distance. ARMs Man: Pleasure! *pushes a panel on a nearby wall and vanishes through a revolving door* Marlene: We better hurry and catch up with lenny. * Joseph puts the clip away and mumbles to himself. "Hmm...now for some berries..." * Joseph looks at Marlene. "Yeah, sure. Lets go." * Joseph walks off by himself and ends up back in that tunnel and to Marlene again. "...Perhaps you should lead." >> The group enters the large courtyard around the central tower, where dozens of red-and-white striped tents and booths are arranged, hawking all manner of things. It sure is a very busy place... I hope Kestrel can get us a meeting with the Mayor. ^^ << er Prime Minister that is :) >> «ooc: Lucca's a mayor. Talk to her. ;) » « OOC: gods! I'm exhausted ;_; » «ooc: Nooo » << problems Shane? >> It's almost like a carnival... « OOC: I feel like a zombie » «ooc: Perfect! Shane never get enough sleep anyways. » * Neydisa shoots a glance to one or two of the tents as the group passes, though she knows better than to gawk at items in such a serious situation. * Allen 's attention is diverted by a pair of multicoloured wading boots. Curiouser and curiouser. >> A large entourage of uniformed, helmeted guards stand at attention outside the tower, flanking a middle-aged, strong-looking man in an exotic uniform and cape. This place is so strange... >> Kestrel bows. "Chief Birmingham." ...Geez, and I though I had odd fashion tastes... * Shane looks back up from the compasses, and is a bit shocked. * Allen blanches at the sight of "Elemental Enchanted Wands" and decides to pay closer attention to what they are supposed to be doing. Birmingham: Sir Kestrel. What brings you to the Republic urgently enough to use the flying machine? «ooc: Uhh, am I there? Or are Marlene and I still catching up? » «ooc: You caught up. » * Neydisa stops and bows respectfully to the Chief as well, though not with as much grace as Kestrel ^^ «ooc: k. » Kestrel: I would prefer not to speak of it in a public place. * Ellena curtsies, looking meek ^^; Birmingham: Of course. Allow me to escort you and your men to a private room. Marlene: I'm just gonna go say hi to my Mom and Dad, okay? Call me when you need me! ^_^ * Marlene scampers off before anyone can object. Erm.. okay Marlene.. Ok Marlene.. please give them my re..gards? «ooc: * Ellena waits outide. ;_; "I'm not male, so I can't go with you." » * Allen scratches his head for a moment. * Neydisa blinks as she is gone too fast to finish the sentence * Hikaru sweatdrops. .oO(Everything moving so fast...I can't keep track of it all any more...Oi...) * Shane absorbs it as it comes. >> Kestrel bites his lip and shoots a glance at Marlene's receding form, but doesn't say anything about it, instead nodding to the federal police chief's statement and following behind him, indicating with a wave of his hand for the others to come as well. «ooc: .oO(Its like fucking door to door salesmen.) » * Ellena follows Kestral, feeling out of place. «ooc: Hikaru needs things explained to him s l o w l y. ^_^ » * Neydisa shrugs it off, and accompanies Kestrel. * Joseph follows. * Allen follows along, wondering if this is really a good way to spend their time. *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP381.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) has joined #warpg * Shane continues monitoring the cmopasses, just in case.... «ooc: Tee hee. "I...am...your singing telegram! *Bang!* » «ooc: LOL! » «ooc: That part is the best! LOL » «ooc: ^_^ » <> . o O ( This is all so confusing...What should I say...? I don't want Mr. Kestral to be cross with me. He doesn't seem to be the friendlest fellow... ) ..Something wrong? * Allen stands at Shane's flank and whispers to him, "I think these gentlemen don't realize how little time we have.." * Hikaru -is- following, btw «ooc: Hikaru: This to me? » >> The group is led into a small, somewhat cramped screw-lift inside the tower. The chief pushes a few buttons on a dirty wall panel, and the lift slowly begins to rotate and descend, creaking in protest. * Shane grimaces and nods quietly. * Ellena looks to 'Karu. "Just...nervous. I feel so out of place..." * Neydisa lowers her head a little as the lift descends. >> After descending several floors, they follow Birmingham and Kestrel through dark winding passages. There are no torches here, but rather hemispherical projections on the walls that emit a soft white light. In the area immediately around these projections, their light reveals ancient heiroglyphs and pictures carved directly into the metal. (q) I know the feeling. * Ellena nods slowly. * Neydisa welcomes the distraction from nagging thoughts, taking the time to glance at the glyphs as they pass by and keeping her voice soft in her musings. "...gemini's corpse remainders?" >> Finally they stop in front of a door, unusual in that it is made of polished ewood and clearly not part of the original design of the place. The chief opens the door, stepping into a pleasant, if windowless, sitting room, directing the group to take their seats in the luxurious mahogany and leather chairs. * Hikaru takes a seat, looking quite the idiot Birmingham: I trust this is to your liking? * Allen stands by the door for a moment. Kestrel: Excellent good, thank you, Chief. * Shane blinks. This is fine, Sir. Thank you for your hospitality... * Joseph stands behind Allen waiting for him to move. «ooc: next to, not in front of! » «ooc: Oh...nuke that then. ^^; » «ooc: I'd never stand in Jo's way ;) » >> Birmingham softly clicks the door shut and sits himself. "Now then, Sir Kestrel. What is the matter that brings you here with no warning?" «ooc: Oh, it was gonna be that you didn't knwo that I was behind you. » * Neydisa finds a chair and sits down, taking off her hood. Death is in town. * Joseph also takes a seat. * Ellena sits down as well. * Shane remains standing. >> Kestrel glares at Shane. * Allen finds a seat near the door. «ooc: ...Kestrel, you glare way to much. Quit it you fruit. » There should be no beating around the bush. ...Like he said, we have a...well, Death that's in the area. Kestrel: Ahem. Yes. The assassin, Death, is believed to have come this way. I have been assigned to head the investigation into his heinous crimes, and come to offer my assistance in apprehending him before he can do to Seim as he has done to Adlehyde. Kestrel: *icily* Mr. Arturis, I assure you I am well aware of the nature of the situation. Please sit. * Shane looks cooly at the agent. * Shane sits. Birmingham: I see. Do you know where he is at the moment? We should not dely in his apprehension. «ooc: I prefer to stand. Thank you. SIT YOUR ASS DOWN! » «ooc: Hehehe. » «ooc: delay, btw. » «ooc: Kestral: SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND DRINK YOUR GOODAMNED TEA! Damn! I'm pissed! » «ooc: * drinks his tea anyway! » He's...uh...nearby. The others seem to want to try to pinpoint him...(m) I personally say just follow the damn compass. * Neydisa keeps quiet, leeting Kestrel do the talking like she promised... though you can tell she has quite a bit on her tongue. Kestrel: We are in possession of a sorcerous device which we believe can pinpoint Death's exact location. If you allow us, we can track him down now. * Allen pipes in, somewhat timidly.

Head Excavator: We've never USED this lift before. For all I know it goes to the other side of the planet. Now that would be a novel experience. Sure would take a long time, though. * Neydisa blinks. "You don't suppose Kestrel ran into trouble in there, do you?" >> Rather abruptly, a loud clank emanates from inside the small lift chamber. ... What was that? «ooc: Hey! Thats my line! » ... Head Excavator: Ah. That must be it. *sticks the key in and turns it again, opening the door* There we go. ... We'd better follow... * Hikaru enters the lift room thingie ^^;;; Head Excavator: Be careful! I warned you guys... * Joseph also walks into the lift. * Shane unholsters his gun, in precaution.
