--- Session 36: Fire and Steel --- Session Start: Sun Apr 22 15:52:47 2001 --SESSION START-- >> Boomerang, last of the Metal Demons, hovers above the crater of the warehouse he had been blasted into, blue fire crackling and lightning all about him. "Human! Do not seek to do battle with me here..." >> Starling crouches amidst smoking ruins, drawing energy into his weapon as he prepares to fire again. His face is set, and he is silent. *** zathras is now known as Allen « oh yes.. die evil Dark Gaia.. ^^ » >> Kestrel stands atop a pile of creates, gesturing with his sword. "Fire! Don't let them get away!" «ooc: can we pose now? » «ooc: Yeh. » * Ellena watches in shocked awe. O _o * Shane stares at the gunman, realizing what's happening. *** Rasis (rasis@verge.verge-rpg.com) has joined #WARPG Starling, What are you doing?! *** Ellena sets mode: +o Rasis «ooc: Sexy! We JUST started :) » *** Rasis is now known as Jeff <> *** Allen sets mode: +o Shane «ooc: Hey, we just started. » * Shane stares quickly, panning from both of them, trying to decide what to do. * Hikaru stands back, realizing this is bigger than just a normal street brawl. He stands in front of Ellena, protecting her like a mother lion would it's cub... ^^; Starling! Stop! Starling: ... * Shane starts casting Backfire. The Demon is needed! «ooc: Starling: Angst...meter...rising... » * Neydisa is still getting to her feet after the tremendous shockwave, trying to take in everything that's going on. "Shane.. you're not going to try to stop them are you?" Kestrel! That thing isn't Death anymore... * Shane runs to Kestrel (quietly) They may kill you, Shane... * Jeff stands quietly, looking back and forth between the two fighting, obviously puzzled >> Boomerang hisses and whips out a small box. Two four-foot black razor-blades snap out of it at a 30-degree angle. "Then fight I shall..." Kestrel: It's clearly gone insane again! I can't allow this to harm the city, Shane! * Hikaru sighs... "Shane'll be okay...he's got luck on his side, whether he notices it or not..." * Shane whispers at Kestrel's side. * Hikaru places his hand on his sword, wondering if he should help Shane out. Still... >> Starling catches Shane's motion despite having appeared not to be paying attention, and, having seen the maneuver against Wild Bill, powers down his weapon and holsters it, cracking his knucles. Rayle: Watch it...you' (m) Kestrel, this is what we needed! The Demon knows where the Master is! If we can calm it, we could use it to find them with surprise on our side! Rayle: Watch it...you'll get filled wit' 'oles if ya wander in there... Shane...please stop! He'll shoot you! >> Boomerang throws the Saber Fang in a wide, sweeping arc, cutting down a few nearer guards, and slashing a wide red mark across Starling's chesgt. Boomerang! Why are you fighting these men?! >> Boomerang does not answer, deep in combat. Kestrel: Damn it...we're not gaining anything...pull back a ways! Keep them from advancing! With luck they'll kill each other. * Neydisa shifts her weight, watching the battle erupting. "This is chaos..." I don't know how to help... >> Kestrel sweeps his blade back, directing the soldiers to back away to a safer distance. We will destroy you out of self-defense if you don't stop, and you shall never have your vengeance! Stay out of the way, Ellena...we can't help this fight...we'd just get in the way... Boomerang: *stops in midair, looking at Shane with eyes of void* You understand very little, human man. I know! I want to Understand! * Shane 's gun is not even out. >> Starling sighs, gritting his teeth and finally addressing the group. "Shut up, all of you! Idiots!" >> Starling turns to face Shane, clutching his left wrist. .oO(I'm not taking sides here, birdbrain...I'm just a damn bystander...) >> The retreating guards fire a few more volleys of bullets, some whizzing dangerously close to the party. .o( Should I do something... or would I make matters even worse... ) Agh! O_o * Shane winces, but stands firm. * Neydisa backpedals as one lands uncomfortably close. Rayle: ...mebbe we oughtta get outta 'ere while th'gettin's good... * Ellena barely misses getting grazed by a bullet, ducking! Whats going on, Starling! Why are you two fighting? Starling: This has all gone to hell, but I will complete my mission. You are soft fools. You wouldn't understand. But I WILL NOT LEAVE TODAY UNTIL ONE OF US LIES DEAD!? THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY!! «ooc: That's the most Starling's said the entire game. » Mission? Ellena!! * Jeff stares up at the demon, murmuring. "Suspended in life in death.. the source of control somewhere in Adlehyde..?" Rayle: (q) Mebbe someone paid 'im... * Shane stops shouting. Kestrel, who started this brawl? Are there any witnesses? * Hikaru curses and steps back, trying to get the rest of th party to do the same... >> Boomerang lands softly, tightening his grip on the Saber Fang and waiting for his opponent to return to the fight. * Neydisa is already backing away, considering her options... * Jeff glances at the group. "Is he free of control? The demon?" Jeff, He appears to be... Shane said he was.. that demon isn't Death any more... ...... ...I think Starling started this... I don't know why, though... Starling was impressed by Death's strength when we battled before, but...\ >> In the distance, Kestrel darkly considers the situation. This part of the docks now lies in ruins, and the only ones in a mile are heavily armed members of the military. I don't care...they aren't taking to reason, Shane...it's their fight, we shouldn't interfere... * Shane looks to Kestrel for an answer. «ooc: Kestrel's backed away more now. » They could destroy Adlehyde though... I beg to differ entirely, Hikaru. The Demon is the key we need. He can lead us to the Master to our advantage. The spy could only've been to our disadvantage. * Shane runs back to Kestrel. >> Content that he is no longer being molested by interfering onlookers, Starling turns back to Boomerang. He tightens his grip on his left wrist, and his left hand begins to twitch and spasm. Kestrel: This is insane. Kestrel: We're bringing out the heavy weaponry, but it will take a good twenty minutes to arrive...in the meantime, if we can just keep them contained... ... Key, NOTHING... If you wanna help and sacrifice your life for some damn red herring, go right a-fucking-head. I'm not taking the blame, though... What was the situation before we got here, Kestrel? Who started this? This is maddness... Kestrel: *snaps* I don't know! Most of us arrived later...the guards that were here originally are all down or wounded, and accounts differ! * Shane scowls. I hate this... * Shane watches the two fight. >> Putrescent vines burst forth from Starling's hand, swimming forward in a mass of undulating matter to entwine Boomerang. Rayle: Whoa, that's new. That's...not normal. * Neydisa blinks. "Just.. just what is that?" * Jeff watches the two for another, then looks at Kestrel. "Accounts differ? How?" >> Boomerang thrashes violently, straining against his unnatural bonds. Finally, with a surge of strength, he tears free. The vines melt into silvery liquid and evaporate. Starling: ...hmph. * Shane stares at Starling, scrutinizingly. Wait... * Ellena blinks in intrest at Starling. O_o Starling works for them! ...Wait...that liquid...! * Shane raises his gun. «ooc: Hah. I caught it too :) You just typed quicker :) » That may not even be Starling... O_o He.. he what? What if it's a clone of some sort? Rayle: ...I shouldn't o' gotten outta bed. . o O ( If he does work for them...dammit! They know! ) ...Ellena... No matter what, it's against us... What is that liquid? You know it from somewhere...? * Ellena looks to Hikaru, looking panicked. * Shane turns to Kestrel. >> Boomerang leaps, suspended against the sun briefly before letting loose with a volley of glistening black darts. Starling is knocked back, impaled in multiple places, but standing resolute./ That boy in the Abbey. The one with the claws...when he died...he melted into that liquid... Kestrel, The man is the enemy. It's one of the Master's things... Kestrel: What's going on here? Do you know that man with the gun? Kestrel: ...the...I see. He must be trying to eliminate the rogue...or perhaps regain control of him. Yes, he is a mercenary... But, he's not quite human... Let's take him down... This entire time...he's been spying on us as well? Kestrel: Hmph...hiring mercenaries now? That's new. «ooc: I wanna take his arm when we win! :D Yay! » Neydisa... Ellena... Jeff... Can you bring your masters here? «ooc: Hand of Vecna » ..... Masters...the Guardians? «ooc: Jeff: I only have a BA! » <> * Hikaru starts to draw his sword. "I think that's what Shane means..." Kestrel, this was before we met you. I had been chasing death for a while, and needed reinforcements... * Ellena nods, "Of course." What would you have me do? Starling is our Enemy. I.. * Jeff looks a little uncertain. Kestrel: Bloody hell. This is a strange turn of events...but I suppose we have to fight for the rogue to protect the country here... We must... eliminate him. I cannot bring Drum myself until I'm... I hope we're both right, Shane. Or we may be killing a misguided, but innocent man... Let the blame fall on my head if I'm wrong. * Shane cocks his gun. You do not need to take the blame alone. I believe you're right too. * Neydisa looks at the destroyed wharf. "I know Zeldukes cannot be happy with this destruction..." >> Boomerang dives toward Starling in a blazing rush, trailing black fire. Starling makes a motion, almost too quick to see...and Boomerang stops an inch from his face, white light blasting through his chest. Kestrel: I'm certainly not. Boomerang: Ahahahaha! O_o What is he doing?! We'd better hurry! * Shane watches, puzzled. * Jeff reaches into his pack for a small stone slab. >> Boomerang laughs, but his voice is wild with pain. He falls backwards to the ground with a hole in his chest, rising slowly to one knee. * Shane squints. * Hikaru sighs and draws his sword fully... * Shane casts a healing spell on the Demon. Starling: ...I am stronger. Shane casts Heal! Boomerang regains 248 HP! * Neydisa whirls at the laughing, beginning to focus instinctively. "....I think we know now..." «ooc: Mind powergamer... :P » «ooc: ^^; » >> Starling snarls, and thrusts his left hand directly at the darkened artificial heart of Boomerang «ooc: It'll take a sec, Shane. » «ooc: Yessir. Note me when. » . o O ( It would make no sense why Starling would fight against Boomerang once...and not... ) No... Wait... Stop him! That device is what was controlling the Demon! Shane uses Kema Eyes! A ray of darkness strikes Starling, but he is unbuckled, his arm now connected to Boomerang's heart by pulsing vines. Damn it!! Cut off the arm! ...I'm gonna hate myself for doing this...... Kestrel: Men! Fire on the human man, but try not to hit the civilians! Kestrel: (q) ...if I fail now... * Hikaru leaps over the crowds, mumbling. "Yeah...no hitting me..." 'Karu!! O_O What are you doing?! * Hikaru tries to sever the arm along the middle! Come back!! (m) My stars... Is he?! * Neydisa forms the Castle Rune in the air. "Zeldukes.. protect the being of metal from the evil hand of bondage! For Adelhyde, rise up!" Hikaru... ah, hell.. * Jeff takes off after Hikaru, running toward the two * Ellena shakes her head and takes off after Hikaru! >> Hikaru slashes directly through the arm, which has now been overcome with twisting vines. Vines sever, spurting clear liquid everywhere, and Starling falls backward, half his left arm gone. Boomerang lies on the ground motionless, apparently in a state of shock. * Shane pales at the summons, winces, and opens his eyes with the Shaman's Mark again upon his face. Starling: ...don't intefere in a battle between warriors. « hope I got to Booemrang to protect him while he's down ^^ » (emotionless) Hikaru. You have stopped it. A battle between warriors, you say? I don't buy it... * Hikaru grasps his sword. "Whatever you are, Starling, you aren't on our side. Not that Deathy over there is, either...I'm just doing what Shane says is the best plan." --Boss Combat!-- Enemy Front Row: Starling X Round 1! «ooc: Ooh. Starling X! He's better than the orginal! Soon we'll have an XX and an XXX :o » <> « Enemy: Hyper Dark Virtue Gunman, Starling X ;) » «ooc: She's doing it first turn this fight. » «ooc: God damn my computer is lagging again :( » <> «ooc: Waiting on Hiakru. » «ooc: ...Hikaru » «ooc: Be good computer! Be good! ;_; » Neydisa summons Zeldukes! * Neydisa continues her summon, loosing the energies of Adelhyde's guardian diety across the field of conflict... The party gains +2L armor! Neydisa loses no MP! « o_O » «ooc: Well, lucky Ney! :) » « Guess I was right :) » <> Jeff charges! Force+1! Starling: ... * Shane stares at Starling with a cold, stony face. Starling draws the Thunderbird and fires at Hikaru! A searing beam of light crackles through the morning air! * Hikaru braces himself, knowing this is gonna hurt. * Ellena 's eyes widen! O_o «ooc: ...that ALMOST missed. » «ooc: If it had been 2 less. » * Neydisa looks to her hands in surprise. "...the city of Light has lost too much already...no more..." <> < <> «ooc: Ellena has feedback :) » Hikaru takes 476 damage! KO'd! «ooc: Actually, I was assessing to see if he'd figured out that the backfire wore off or not. » « gack o_o » ... * Hikaru flies back into some boxes «ooc: That's with 80 DP. » «ooc: Ow. » No!

I'll roll his damage now, but don't pose anything. » *** Nicole (t-peters@dialup-63.214.80.90.Boston1.Level3.net) Quit (Quit: ) «ooc: ^^; » Hikaru uses Frenzy Blade before that! 31! 29! Miss! Miss! 28! (88) * Neydisa stares in brief shock as the blast pierces even the Guardian's defense, immediately reaching for her healing items. "Hikaru.. hold on!" Ellena uses Earth Infusion! Agi up 1 level! That gun is incredible.. * Ellena holds one of her hands out, a faint swirl of energy gathering in it from the earth and heavens, "Earth, Wind, and Sky, assist me..." Shane Assesses Starling! * Jeff doesn't take his eyes off of Starling. "Is Hikaru all right? Other than.. being floored?" * Hikaru is currently smoking. Ow. «ooc: He's dead Jim. » >> Hikaru seems alive and all, but he's burnt and twitching. «ooc: mmm...twitch. » 4 questions. «ooc: Will Starling fire the gun next turn? » «ooc: No. » «ooc: How much ammo is left in the gun? » «ooc: 6 shots. » «ooc: Jesus. » «ooc: Does he have clips left? » «ooc: 1 » «ooc: When is the next round he will fire the gun? » «ooc: Depends on future altercations; can't say.

Sheesh. » Str+2L to all! «ooc: You know, I forgot to have the guards attack last turn. Oh well. » I shall take care of the thunderbird. Starling attacks Jeff! «ooc: Yeah, use that damn jammer....if it'll work. ^^; » >> Starling rushes forward, squaring off with Jeff and exchanging crushing blows. « that's mroe radio signals though.. » «ooc: Jammer mainly jams sensors. » «ooc: Yeah. It's better just to backfire. » * Jeff tries to match Starling's moves, arms and legs frantically parrying «ooc: Use it anyways! Then Kestrel will lose his signal with his heavy reinforcements. :D » * Shane pulls out the Rune without thought, and starts chanting. 49! Miss! Counter-80! «ooc: Whom countered? » * Neydisa looks to Jeff with a mix of concern and pride as he melees Starling... « Jeff did :) » «ooc: Sugoi! :D » Starling: ...you're strong. <> ...

Starling: ...nnGAH! * Ellena raises an eyebrow, but does not let down her guard. «ooc: He grunted for his turn? » «ooc: LOL. » >> Suddenly he lurches forward, black razor-tipped vines twisting forward from his arm in a mass of knotted, thorny branches!

Open your wings mighty Moa Gault, and bathe those who live in solace in your crimson glory! 77 damage! «ooc: *Bows* I owe DNW mind sex or something :) » >> Starling covers his face with a hand, weathering the assault.

Is this what fighting really is to you?" Poison: Ellena takes 24! Hikaru takes 21! Jeff gains 31! Neydisa takes 22! Shane takes 23! Starling: Get out of my way and we can end this here! If it is a challenge you desire, I assure you, if you fight alongside us, you shall recieve challange. Danger has followed us of late. The Demon is under our protection. You may not have him. We shall not suffer him to become Death oncemore. Starling: I will complete my mission. * Hikaru growls lowly... Round 5! What's that supposed to mean? Your mission.. who's paying you to do this?

"I knew they were involved!" Kestrel: Sir Johansen! Please stay back. « Then I'm quitting ^^ » * Allen dashes forward. «ooc: If Jeff delivers the final blow each time...I'll believe it. ^_- » * Allen looks at Kestrel as if to say "Yeah right!"

Allen... «ooc: I only have shitty luck with my level 2 force. ^^ » * Jeff quickly turns back to face Starling. Shane uses Backfire! I am glad you are well, Allen. We weren't sure if you were safe... * Allen squeezes past some guards, shouting out Crestian the whole time and studying a crest graph. Kestrel: .oO(Curses. If only he were more careful...) Neydisa summons Stoldark! Shards of ice rain from the sky! * Neydisa doesn't hear Allen at first, intent on the action she's chosen.

I wanna RP. :P » «ooc: I cry for you. » <> Hikaru recovers his Starlight Dart! * Shane looks at the fallen Starling for a second, and re-covers the rune in his hand. Gained Starlight Dart! Gained Dart Storm! Gained Mega Berry! Gained Ceramic Emel! «ooc: NO THUNDERBIRD?! ;_; » <> Starling: ...heh...heheh...heh...... * Hikaru picks up the dart which had stuck in a nearby board, and picks up another on Starling's fallen boddy. «ooc: I'm so unloved! ;_; » * Neydisa watches with a tinge of pity as Starling falters, Allen noticing it as she turns to face him... * Hikaru kicks Starling. "Stop laughing." * Ellena points her bauble at Starling, weary. * Shane walks to Boomerang. * Hikaru twitches, trying to calm down. Starling: Hehehehheh....ahahahaha...I had...a good time. Eheheh. >> Starling collapses, the life leaving his body. ... «ooc: Dilandau? ;) » «ooc: Who? » * Ellena watches Starling a few minutes more, seeing if he dissolves like the others did. ...I hope I wasn't responsible for that. -_- * Allen stops calling out Crest magic... S-Starling? * Allen blinks. * Jeff sighs. "Ge Ramtos.. guide him to his destination, please.." * Shane Examines the Demon. «ooc: * Boomerang stands up and laughs, killing off the party. We killed the wrong person. -_- Looks like it didn't work. Game over. » *** Ridel_knight (ridel_knig@c1386247-a.crvlls1.or.home.com) has left #WARPG * Allen looks at his compatriots. "Did we.. just kill Starling?" «ooc: AUGH DEK! ME NO CLAUDE » Rayle: Dammit. It's too early in th'mornin' fer this. «ooc: ^_- » We had no choice... he.. he wasn't himself... I hope we did the right thing...because if we didn't... ...I'm not sure. Shane thinks it was just a clone. Because if we didn't, we're dead... I never said anything of the sort. * Ellena reaches down and picks up his ARM. <> « hohoho ^^ » «ooc: Jeff! Hikaru knows martial arts! » >> Kestrel approaches warily, sheathing his sword. "What in all Filgaia was that about...?" He shakes his head. "Is the rogue demon dead?" «ooc: Kill him now. :O » * Jeff kneels down and checks for a pulse on Starling, to confirm he's dead. >> Boomerang is not breathing, but his blood is dripping in time to a heartbeat. >> Starling, on the other hand, seems very dead. Jeff, I think he meant Death. I do not think the Demon to be dead. The mercenary, however, is most likly. «ooc: I want that fucking arm! Is mine! Dammit! I picked it up! ;_; » «ooc: Even if it's a story plot thing! ;_; Is my destiny. » «ooc: Why would Ellena want a weapon of mass destruction? » « Ellena's going to pack heat ^^ » * Allen sits down on the ground where he was standing. * Jeff bows his head and sighs. "I know, Hikaru." «ooc: For plot reasons, so no one uses it :p » «ooc: OK, pose it./ » . o O ( I must destroy this...so it doesn't hurt anyone else. ) * Hikaru sighs. "We had no choice, Jeff. Sorry if I got out of control near the end.." «ooc: She can give it to me. >;D » * Shane looks over the Demon, and chants a life spell after eating a carrot. «ooc: Of course, I REALLY wish I can use it myself. Sigh ;) » >> Ellena takes the Thunderbird. «ooc: Must...squash..powergamerness! » « you could.. but what's the cost? ^^ » Rayle: Whoa, watch where yer point that thin'. «ooc: MY ETERNAL SOUL! » «ooc: 35 MP per use. » * Hikaru raises an eye at Ellena. "What do you.." * Jeff stands up, and nods. "I know, Hikaru. I didn't want to kill again, though. Not so soon.." « ...tha actually might be a bargain. :o » ...I'm going to destroy this... «ooc: *needs to free up 35 essense* ;) » So these machines don't hurt anyone else... Kestrel: Be careful...it might explode, or something of that sort. I do not understand how these devices work. * Shane rubs his chin, trying a healing spell. * Allen sits there, shaking his head. "But... I thought he was a good guy." >> Boomerang twitches. Kestrel instinctively reaches for his blade. I know, Kestral... * Jeff glances at Ellena. "Are you sure that's wise? We might need that, some day.." * Shane remains calm, and removes some cloth from his pack to bandage the Demon's wounds. Or someone might.. ...ARMS only lead to destruction... «ooc: I want it. :D » «ooc: Becuase...I must...resist...an all your base...joke now! » * Neydisa goes over to Allen. "...he was. I can only hope we saved him from the torment his new boss put him through. He wasn't human any more..." ... «ooc: Grah! *Shoots herself* » «ooc: evil! » * Jeff glances down at Starling. "For Filgaia's sake.. sometimes we have to destroy.." Boomerang. Can you hear me? >> Suddenly, the vines on Starling's arm begin to twitch and writhe, snaking their way up his arm and around his torso. Kestrel: ...!! ...That would be a bad thing.... He's.. what's? * Allen looks up to Neydisa. Something flickers in his eyes when he sees her, but it fades. "I see. Poor fellow." Rayle: Aww, 'ell. * Hikaru draws his sword again. * Neydisa turns her head at the slithering sound. "Is he.. still alive?" * Ellena points the THunderbird to Starling indestinctively! Get a sample of that befor eit disintegrates! It'll evaporate! Get it in a container! « hmm, do I have one.. ^^ » * Shane tosses a metal flask towards Jeff, standing by the body. * Jeff reacts reflexively, kicking at the vines. >> Instead of evaporating, the vines begin to wind themselves around Starling's body, coccooning him. Slowly, he begins to move. ...! Or... not. * Neydisa wideyes, drawing out ehr katars. Starling: Gerhhehrhhbghghghg.....rrrrghhhh.... You were saying, Shane...? What in the Guardian's name...?! O_o Keep that away from the demon! «ooc: Starling: Tentacle sex...graghgraghgraghgragh.... » Kestrel: Good lord...what is this thing? Jeff... watch out! Burn it! * Ellena stands inbetween Starling and Boomerang! O_o «ooc: But not by choice. :D She's just a dumbfuck :D » * Shane stands directly in front of the demon, and grabs the run again. «ooc: Rune. » * Jeff attempts to beat the thing into submission again as it starts to move Ellena...keep back...! * Allen watches, mesmerized. You won't harm the metal demon! You won't cause any more deaths! You won't! No more! Stop it! >> Kestrel slashes at the vine-entombed walking corpse, slashing off a few vines, which quickly grow back. Jeff pounds on it, but it seems oddly resistant...it's cleare that the body within is dead. «ooc: Allen: ooh, pretty. » *** Ridel_knight (ridel_knig@c1386247-a.crvlls1.or.home.com) has joined #WARPG Kestrel! Order your men to help me move the body... It must be brought to the Hospice. It's the vines! They're just using his body now! Kestrel: Men! Get the metal demon away from here! Perhaps Starling was just a pawn...maybe he was innocent... So what do we DO, Jeff?! * Ellena is still wedged inbetween Boomerang and Starling, making sure the vines don't reach him. >> Shane summons Duras Drum...blades of pure darkness spin out of thin air to hack away at the vine creature, but for every vine severed, another one grows, feeding off the organic matter within. * Jeff keeps hitting it in an effort to at least keep it from going anywhere. "I don't know.. how do you kill animated vines?" Burn the vines. Try and recover a sample for study... ...but Burn them. This is like the spy.. but we can't use the Bird this time! It regenerates! The best thing to do is move Boomerang! *** Bahamut is now known as Bahaway * Shane follows the body. * Hikaru pulls out a rune from his back pocket. "Ellena...you can summon Moa Gault, right...?" «ooc: Boomerang's. » >> Several guards rush forward to move Boomerang, while the rest fire slug after slug into the creature. «ooc: I could kill it! » * Allen watches, remembering his talk with the professor at Curan. * Ellena begins to chant. I shall go try to heal the Demon. His body is more machine than flesh, so I doubt the doctors can help him as I may be able to... * Ellena reaches down, and scoops up a handful of dirt, dust, and debris from the floor. She opens her hands slightly, and the stuff runs through her fingers, sparkling with light and magic. The debris swirls around her in all directions, creating a sphere around her of magical energy. A burst of flame, for passion! A burst of flame for inspiration! A burst of flame for fury! Open your wings mighty Moa Gault, and bathe those who live in solace in your crimson glory! * Jeff hops back, delivering another kick and glaring. "It's like hitting a tree.. it doesn't care!" * Hikaru shakes his head and summons Moa Gault along with Ellena, strengthening the bond! Mister Harper. If you can, the trick you did in the lab may incinerate it... * Neydisa tries to reach within herself, touching the Heaven Rune. "Solus Emsu.. burn it with the gaze of purity! release the spirit within from the spectre of darkness!" >> The thing makes a gurgling sound, turning back and forth before settling on Boomerang. However, before it can attack, it is blasted with flame as a bird of pure fire flies through it with a defiant screech. * Allen looks at Shane. «ooc: Wow. Just in time ^^; Hopefully. » >> Simultaneously, Neydisa summons a blinding light to purge the creature. Thank you, Moa Gault.. * Shane turns towards the vines, hands on the corpse. «ooc: Not-coprse. » * Hikaru nods and replaces the rune after Moa Gault does its job. «ooc: Shane baps Boomerang.... "1....2....3.... Vilkyss!!" » >> It falls to its knees from the assault, but stands again, flaming but yet undefeated. Neydisa summons the judgement of Solus Emsu. A ray of pure light transfixes it...but does nothing. It's too strong...! * Neydisa wobbles a moment, her balance off center as she seems exteremly exahusted. "How..." ...Maybe we just need to kick it into the ocean. «ooc: Hehe. Allen is sort of "duh" with all this. » .oO( It killed Starling. Or led to his death... It's trying to hurt my friends... ) Rayle: Well bleedin' 'ell, so somethin'....! « Allen gotta sue the cool flame magic ^^ » * Shane 's face-dots pulse as he strains in thought. Why isn't anyone MOVING Boomerang?! * Allen grits his teeth. « the guards are » «ooc: They are. » * Ellena sounds desperate. «ooc: Oh. ^^ My bad. » «ooc: nuke :D » *** Ridel_knight (ridel_knig@c1386247-a.crvlls1.or.home.com) has left #WARPG * Jeff cringes momentarily and shivers, shying away from the light. >> Kestrel rushes forward, impaling the thing right in the head, but it lurches away, twisting the blade from his grasp still stuck in it. * Shane walks with the guards, remaining only a foot or so from Boomerang, watching the vines. .oO( It stains my home with it's mere existence. And even though I shouldn't... I can't let it get away. ) * Allen charges. «ooc: Turns on the super ALLEN music! ;D » All...! O_o « whoo ^^ » * Jeff shakes his head and moves back in on the thing, trying to do something to it with his rain of probably futile blows. «ooc: HolyDragSwd! » * Allen sees Jeff there, whacking at the creature. Grah... .oO( And Jeff. ) The only way to destroy this is to rend it in one motion... >> The creature lumbers forward with the unthinking, unintelligent motion of a plant, swinging its arms in slow but powerful arcs. * Ellena tries to dodge! .oO( No, I can't think about him. I don't want to attack the wrong target. ) * Jeff ducks under an arm and hits it yet again. "Think.. think.. how.." ...The Bird again? Explosives? >> Having difficulty connecting with wild punches, the creature lumbers over to the ruined statue of Zeldukes, hefting the larger part of it overtop of its head. ...Ellena, The Arm! I don't have enough power....Even if I summoned Moa Gault it just comes back even stronger...! * Neydisa staggers, barely avoiding an arm. Her pulse quickens. "Allen... try something.. hurry!" The Arm? O_o What do you mean? May I see it? ... «ooc: NO! I wanna be a powergamer too! ;_; » * Ellena tosses the Arm to Shane! * Jeff hops back away from the creature, reaching for a rune and starting to focus. I trust you! * Shane catches it, and starts examining it. * Allen shakes his head. * Allen grabs for his runes instead. * Hikaru tenses, having no idea what to do with himself at the moment. Excellent. «ooc: er.. GRAPHS! » * Shane turns to the guards. >> Rayle tries to ram the thing, but only succeeds in getting a headache. Men, which Hospice are you taking the body to? * Allen begins to cast Hi-Freeze. *** Bahaway is now known as Bahamut * Ellena rummages through her bag for a carrot. * Neydisa gets angered as it picks up the statue, running to the side and scraping it midly to try to distract it from Jeff. Guards: It's unsafe to take a demon to a place with people...we're going to bring it to the castle, where it can get care without endangering anyone. * Shane shouts to the party: "Try and slow it down. I need three minutes..." * Jeff clenches his hands on the rune and a small lens, keeping his distance now and concentrating >> The creature lumbers forward, throwing the statue at Allen. Uh oh. Allen! Look out! Allen! O_O * Shane stops following the guards, and sits down off to the side, taking refuge in a building, and pulls out his tools. * Neydisa whirls. "Allen!" * Allen throws the spell. «ooc: Shane: I'm just going to play with my tinker toys for 3 minutes. You go have fun! :) » «ooc: Yay, Legos. ^_^ » >> The statue sails through the air on a collision course...then suddenly freezes in midair. It glows, and seems to almost come to life under the stone...then it explodes in a puff of feathers., ...O_o What the hells? ...What...? * Shane starts removing plates on the Thunderbird, and once in, starts sodering some new circuits in... «ooc: Get Zeldukes Rune please please please ;_; » Guardian Energy...! ...he's still watching us... «ooc: ^^ I'm just mean cuz I want a rune very badly. :D Am I evil? » «ooc: Why yes, I am! :D I love it! » >> Allen casts Hi-Freeze! A cloud of frigid air and swirling ice bombards the creature. It thrashes wildly, trying to strike at the cloud. The ice seems to be slowing it down, rendering the vines brittle, yet still it fights on. «ooc: You want everything don't you! First the ARM and now the run. YOU HOG EVERYTHING! ;_; » «ooc: *snorts* » «ooc: I want some slop! Cuz i'm a hog! :D » >> Suddenly, Allen's graph's pulse with energy, and a second, spectral form appears beside him, making the same motions of casting. «ooc: hee hee. » Allen...? >> Allen casts Hi-Freeze again! «ooc: Umm...I only have some grits...will that do? ^^; » «ooc: ew. Grits. » «ooc: Allen knows the Shadow Servent spell! :O » <> * Shane holds his screwdriver in his teeth as he modifies the Thunderbird as fast as he can. The power cells start a slowly ascending whine as he tweaks it. «ooc: Shane's gonna make the Thunderbird a level 1 ARM again. ;_; » * Jeff watches the creature warily, eyes still half narrowed and hands on the rune and lens. «ooc: ;_; » Allen...? >> A second blast of ice bombards the vine-animated corpse, and when the steam clears, it stands frozen solid. * Allen watches the spectre of himself with a measure of surprise. Nice job, Al... O_o *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP-159-163.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) Quit (Quit: be back in a few..on a different comp.) * Neydisa stares at Allen. "You.. you stopped it..." * Allen blinks. Hey wow, I did. * Ellena claps, "Good work, Allen! You did it!" Or.. he did. Nice work.. * Shane stops tinkering, puts the arm down, and staggers back into the street. >> The Mages gain DOuble Cast! * Allen points to the spectre.. still confused. <> >> Allen's spectre fades away. * Neydisa calls out. "Hurry.. shatter it!" * Shane looks dizzy, but catches himself. Shatt... right! Hold on! I have what'll do the job! Back away from it! * Ellena does so. * Jeff starts towards it, then stops, looking at Shane, and steps back * Shane goes back into the doorway. Kestrel: What? *blinks, then realizes* FALL BACK! >> Kestrel dives for cover, followed shortly after by his men. * Neydisa flips away from the ice sculpture, stumbling slightly. * Shane re-emerges with the thunderbird, and makes a few more alterations. It's power cells are now white hot. Go! Get under cover! Get out of the street... «ooc: Shane: Ow! *drops the gun and it explodes* » * Allen blunders away, realizing what Shane is up to. "Yikes!" * Ellena heads out of hte street ^^; * Jeff blinks, looking at what's in Shane's hands, looks at how close he is to the creature, and runs AWAY from the thing * Hikaru grabs Ellena and moves out of the way! O_o * Neydisa dives by a nearby ruined mass of crates, ducking. :o Gah---! O_o * Shane puts some finishing touches on it, and drops his screwdriver, jogging towards the ice-statue. * Shane places it at it's base, presses a button, and runs for cover. «ooc: He's gonna blow it up! ;_; » «ooc: I want to shoot Shane now. » .o( Zeldukes.. watch over us... ) .oO{ Great maker, I hope that waits all ten seconds... } «ooc: Well, so much for your thunderbird, Dek ;) » « it's for a good cause ^^ » * Shane dives back in the alley. * Jeff finds cover and ducks behind it «ooc: Can't believe Shane is gonna cause the Thunderbird to overload. ;_; » >> Shane dives for cover. Moments later, the whine accellerates to a shriek...and the docks are made invisible by an incredibly huge sphere of light.

I'm safe! » * Hikaru ducks and covers, wondering just what the hell Shane DID to the thing * Neydisa prays.. it's all she can do. >> Mere moments later, the firestorm dies down, though it takes everyone a little longer to regain vision....the creature is utterly destroyed, and a light misting of ice crystals falls from the sky. « "Okay Timmy, you stand there while I get behind this elad shield.." ^^ » * Ellena is huddled close to 'Karu, ducking and covering! *** Scott (emtp612@AC8A2C2B.ipt.aol.com) has joined #WARPG * Jeff looks out towards the docks. "By the guardians... what did he DO?" Wow. * Shane uncovers his head when the sound dies down, and peeks out. >> Lying in the center of the smoldering crater where the monster was is a simple piece of stone, the only thing left. * Neydisa pokes her sapphire head from above the blackened pile. * Shane walks towards the stone. * Hikaru raises his head when the blast clears and answers to Jeff's voice. "Whatever it is, it was big.." * Shane examines it. * Ellena stands up, shaking her head. ^^; Really, really big. *** Paul (user@24.240.253.75) has left #WaRPG * Jeff stands back up, and walks toward Shane. >> Upon closer inspection, the stone slab is hewn into a rectangle, and marked with a Guardianist rune. * Shane gives the stone a calm regard in his emotionless state. Here. This is for you. >> Kestrel looks up. "My word." * Shane hands it to Jeff. >> Jeff gets Castle Rune! «ooc: Dammit ^^ I will so never get a rune. » I'm going to go check up on Boomerang now. See you all at the castle. *** Dekar_Zol is now known as Niki «ooc: Vit+10%, Agi+10%. » * Allen watches Shane go. * Neydisa leaves her hiding place, the stone catching her eye. "A runestone... is it... Zeldukes?" «ooc: BRB » * Shane mystics his boots and runs towards the castle, hoping the demon still there. Thank you.. ...Yeah, Shane... «ooc: And I could really sue taht ^^; » ... « haha.. Eellena spoke Storenese. ^_^ » *** Niki is now known as Dekar_Zol * Hikaru blinks. "Whatever happened, I think I need to go back to sleep because of it." «ooc: Sighs and oh wells. ^^ » << Want one? Life rune? This one? I have a couple now>> «ooc: What does the Life Rune do? » « I have stoldark & heavens :) » «ooc: What's the PER + 20%? » «ooc: * glares at Grue., » <> «ooc: don't you have enough PER? ;) » «ooc: I mean state wise :D » «ooc: stat » «ooc: I do, but I was wondering :) » <> «ooc: oooh! » «ooc: ^^ Hmm. I think I need the Castle one a bit more. I'm gonna boost str this level up anyway. » Rayle: Cor... «ooc: But I need vit and agility » ...Hm, Ray'? <> «ooc: I'm happy with DEX + 20% :) » «ooc: ...Ooh. Tempting for Peer though. But...need Castle. Agil sucks :( » Rayle: Nothin'...jus'...I think...like ter eat some breakfast now. <> «ooc: I love you Jeff :D » ...Yeah, that makes two of us..... «ooc: Platonically :D » * Ellena looks sad. «ooc: I have uhh...Earth rune and the Flash Rune. » «ooc: Bah, you wouldn't want to unequip either of your accessories anyhow, jeff. » Did someone say breakfast? * Hikaru looks down at Ellena, still huddled close to him. "You want to come, too...?" <> Uh? Oh...sure. Kestrel: ...back to your posts, men. Something wrong...? Just....Starling's death...it was such a waste... * Jeff looks down at the rune, then walks over toward Hikaru and Ellena. >> Kestrel and the remaining guards slowly begin the march back to the castle. The docks lie in ruins. «ooc: The Thunderbird's death. It was such a waste! » «ooc: Hehehe. » «ooc: THAT TOO ;_; » <> «ooc: >:D » * Neydisa wavers on her feet, leaning on the crates of the wharf. "I.. just need to.. rest. I..." «ooc: Sorry. It was the forthcoming answer. » «ooc: ICly: Poor Starling, OOC: POOR THUNDERBIRD ;_; » Ellena.. I know...but...Ellena...you should know better than I do that sometimes nature and the guardians...sometimes they do things that don't seem right...I mean, sometimes good people die before their time...it's just how things work... ...Yes Mister Jeff? «ooc: Actually, the thunderbird is just a Big Gun with a SHITLOAD of modding. » ...I know Hikaru. Doesn't make it hurt any less. * Neydisa slips to the floor in an exhausted slumber. ooc feel free to elave ehr there.. heh ^^ * Jeff holds out the rune. "Here.. Shane gave this to me, but it might be better for us if you held on to it." Rayle: Aw, Ney... « whoops » >> Rayle floats down to sit on Neydisa's head. ..Thank you, Jeff... * Ellena takes the rune quietly. * Allen wanders over to Ney and Rayle. Sure... and Hikaru.. we need to talk sometime soon. No rush, though. * Hikaru sighs and puts his arm around Ellena's shoulders. "If you don't mind her listening in, we can talk over breakfast, Jeff..." * Allen studies the shaman for a moment, then glances over his shoulder and sees Jeff conversing with Hikaru and Ellena. * Allen frown.s * Jeff smiles wearily. "No reason to hide anything from a fellow shaman, is there?" * Neydisa is snoring softly, her blue hair hanging in her face, unkempt from all the fighting. She looks very peaceful. «ooc: Harlots. I want Jeffy to myself. :( » «ooc: Hmm. I might actually end soon, after a bit of denoument. This is a good place. » * Ellena smiles a bit. ^^ ...Fine by me. <> «ooc: I SENSE LUDE. OH GOD! THE TORTURE! » « hmm ^^ » «ooc: What delicious fun! >:D » * Jeff nods, and looks around. « well if you summoend up a storm and had no sleep you'd sleep too ^^ » «ooc: No! I need to lude! NO ONE ELSE LUDE OR I SHALL EAT YOU! » «ooc: Aww. Let's go on through another session! We're behind! :D » «ooc: Anyone gonna help Ney? » * Allen leans forward and taps Ney on the shoulder. «ooc: The sad thing is, we can't sess next week. ;_; » «ooc: Blame my teacher ;_; » * Jeff blinks. "Neydisa...?" Hey.. wake up, Ney. :) Rayle: Think she's down fer th'count, chum. Hmm. >> Neydisa looks outright exhausted. * Jeff heads over toward Allen, Rayle, and Neydisa. "Is she all right?" And I can't carry her myself. «ooc: Paq'mara porn -> := =: » «ooc: Although if you guys can arrange sess on an alternate day, that'd work. » * Allen turns abruptly at Jeff's return. «ooc: Heheh. » Uh, yeah. She just looks tired. «ooc: session after my lude. :D » «ooc: Anyone up for a session during the week? » * Neydisa mumbles something about her mother as Allen taps her. She seems really out of it. «ooc: me me me! » «ooc: The paq'mara are like the French, they're the ethnicity everyone makes fun of. » «ooc: Shane: Hell no. It's finals week. » «ooc: ... » «ooc: ;_; » «ooc: What about next week? » * Jeff looks at her, a little concerned. "She must be exhausted to fall asleep here.." «ooc: Well, we can discuss it later. » «ooc: Next week is finals. ^^; » * Allen nods. «ooc: But I MAY be ablet o. We'll see. » «ooc: ...both weeks are finals? » <> «ooc: Reading days then finals itself. » «ooc: Pfft. » «ooc: ^_^ College sucks ASS » «ooc: I wish I wasn't concerned about the fate of the world. Ney exhausted herself watching over me! :( » « feel bad. yay :) » « j/k » * Jeff sighs. "I'll carry her back. And Allen.." * Allen was about to speak, but was cut off. «ooc: http://www.theonion.com/onion3714/you_will_suffer.html » «ooc: Heh, Jeff is still hanging on to the two runes he had at the start then. » «ooc: Jeff punches Allen in the face, "She's mine! OH HO HO HO go away girly man!" Allen: :_; » * Jeff reaches down to gently pick Neydisa up. "Thanks for showing up.. you may well have saved us all there." <> * Allen nods. "Yeah.. I guess so.." * Allen looks thoughtful. * Hikaru dusts himself off and looks towards the party, silently. * Ellena is standing near 'Karu, doing the same. * Neydisa doesn't protest being moved in the slightest, still asleep soundly. She looks like she was up all night, a vague circle under her eyes... * Jeff looks at Neydisa, then at Allen. "We were worried about you, when you were gone this morning." Oh, yeah. I'm sorry I didn't leave a note or anything. I went to see my sister. «ooc: Fast forwarding soon. » * Allen looks a little uncomfortable. * Jeff nods, and grins. "Ah.. ok. Glad you're all right." In fact, I need to find her again. She's probably worried. * Ellena ponders certain things... :/ * Allen wanders back to the castle with them. * Jeff nods, starting back as well. >> The group, weary and dejected, begins to make its way back towards the castle as the morning sun slowly climbs in the sky. >> Suddenly, the castle explodes! >> No, just kidding. «ooc: O_o » «ooc: Aww. » «ooc: :D » «ooc: ...Gayo! » «ooc: O_O » «ooc: Wow. I actually believed that for like 2 seconds with you ;) » <> «ooc: Grue told me to do it. ;_; » «ooc: Yeah right ;) » « Grr ;) » «ooc: It's true. I did. I'm a bad, bad man. ;_; » << We already knew THAT ;)>> «ooc: I'm sorry, and I'll never do that again. » «ooc: That's it, I rescind music rights for a wekk. » «ooc: week. » >> Suddenly, the castle explodes! «ooc: ;_; » «ooc: Shane! Sit in the pently box so we can pull down your pants and spank you! » «ooc: I'll just blow up some random inn for kicks next time. » >> It really does this time! >> Really! «ooc: from both of you, grr! » >> No, I'm kidding. «ooc: O_o » «ooc: Okay, I won't do it again after this time ;D » «ooc: QUIT! ^^; » «ooc: LOL. » <> «ooc: Gayo, you rock. » « Hehe.. it's cute now. ^_^ » «ooc: Thank you, I'll be here all month. » « excuse me while I get some dinner warming up » «ooc: I'm red in the face from laughing. I'm a goober :) » «ooc: Okay, game again? » >> The infirmary of the castle is full of noise and activity as Shane makes his way through the maze of beds. It seems like a good quarter of the guards, police and soldiers from the melee have come seeking medical attention, and the doctors and nurses are buzzing about frantically. * Shane scans for the Demon. «ooc: This is just Shane, right? » «ooc: Yes. » «ooc: Am I un-Stillwatered? » «ooc: Yeah. » >> Boomerang is easy to find....he has been laid across several beds pushed together, and most of the people in the area are giving him a wide berth - only one doctor is attending to him. * Shane approaches the body, and looks at the doctor. Have you worked on Demons before? >> She turns to greet him. It is Charity LeBlanc. "Hmm? No...I don't think anyone has..." «ooc: No, just naughty tentecles. » Charity: I've looked Zed over...but... «ooc: we'll need a transfusion from Zed. :o » ...but? «ooc: Good, It's Charity, and not an evil, evil doctor... » «ooc: Like Shane. » «ooc: HEH! » «ooc: I wanna know where Luceid is. :o » «ooc: Like s- yeah. » <> << Dek! I don't! Luceid helped slaughter me! ;)>> «ooc: Yeah, I don't like Other Evil Doctors. They clash with my eg... er... 'style'. » «ooc: Charity is the Master! Nah, it's really Jessamyn. » «ooc: But Luceid is cool! I want Luceid to join me like it joined Boomerang in WA. :D » «ooc: The thing with you, Gayo, is I can never tell when you're lying or not ;) » Charity: *coughs* Demon anatomy, while similar to organic anatomy in some ways, is not close enough to anything I've experienced for me to confidently perform procedures... << Shane has the highlander theory down for evil doctors. :D>> «ooc: I bet it is Jess! :D » «ooc: Yup, it is. You caught me! » * Shane nods. <> «ooc: Naw, the final boss is Gayo the Woman. ;) » <> * Shane studies the body. «ooc: Galen :o » << MUst.. not.. hit.. Scott.. ;)>> «ooc: Does he have metal twisties in his back? » «ooc: Galen. :o » «ooc: he's my roommate! » «ooc: Must...not...yeah....actually....sushi....wah » «ooc: You can't see his back. » «ooc: My roommate is a technomage. Scary. » «ooc: Mmm, sushi breakfast » «ooc: I meant Galen ;) » «ooc: What's the condition of the Demon? » «ooc: What's the condition of the Heart-thing? » «ooc: Is he magically active? » «ooc: What is the air speed of an unladden swallow? » >> Boomerang is motionless, unbreathing, but apparently alive. His wounds have been tamponaded, but are severe. The strange device over his heart is silent, and partially shrivelled. «ooc: No. » «ooc: velocity. air speed velocity. » «ooc: Oh right. Doh. » «ooc: ;) » May I see some samples of his blood and tissue under microscope? *** Scott (emtp612@AC8A2C2B.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Quit: bbiab..off to my house and my comp.) If I understand his form better I may be able to create an environ to stimulate regrowth... «ooc: >> Later today... *** Scott has quite IRC (Quit: Off to hog someone elses computer again.) » «ooc: those poohs in New Seim denied me this, right? » «ooc: Yeah, but you got a few samples from the sword. » «ooc: His...wounds...have...been...tamponed? » Charity: Certainly...I'll arrange it. It seems like he's just...sleeping, though. Not like Zed. I just can't figure out how to wake him up. * Shane nods. Any word on Zed's condition? Charity: *shakes her head* Word travels slow across borders. He seemed stable, last I saw. * Shane leans down and whispers one word into Boomerang's Ear: "Lucied". «ooc: kidding ;) » Was he conscious last you heard? Charity: He isn't awakening at all...it's as though he's entered a torpid state. *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP-158-58.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) has joined #WARPG «ooc: All you need to do is add some more bloood to his blood pool! » >> Charity leans forward, poking at the "heart". «ooc: >> Since Shane pronounced it incorrectly, it has no effect. » Charity: This is a very odd thing here. <> Yes... «ooc: Bitch ;D » It seems to be connected both to the Enemy controlling him, and his life... * Shane examines it, himself. It looks withered... «ooc: Er, not tamponaded. I looked it up, it is just tamponed. » ...Perhaps that's the problem. * Shane grimaces. Charity: I've only seen something like this once before...I wish I could dissect it, but it's fused with him, and I can't be sure what it would do to him. Actually, can you arrange a few non-in... you've seen something like this before? * Shane double-takes. Charity: Well, not exactly. The gemstone is totally new to me. But this quasi-organic structure. «ooc: Gemstone? » «ooc: I didnt understand a bit of that last sentance. Did it come out right? » «ooc: There's a gem thing at the centre. It was red when it was controlling him, and died out when it stopped. » «ooc: She recognizes the quasi-organic structure, but not the gemstone. » Ah... Where have you seen this thing before? Charity: Well, you know I don't just work here...I go to other areas as needed. >> Another nurse approaches, speaking briefly to Charity in quiet tones. She nods. "You can attend to it...I'm rather busy with Dr.Arturis currently." Yes, I understand you're quite the world-traveller yourself. «ooc: is she intentionally being evasive? :) » Charity: Well, not a WORLD traveller, really. *she grins a little* But I've been around. At any rate...I'm good friends with Jessamyn...er, Ms.Drake. You met her, didn't you? «ooc: Dunno :o » Quite, yes. «ooc: He quite met her? » «ooc: You know, I'd bet it is Jess <:P » «ooc: But then why would I have mentioned it? » «ooc: That'd be a bit obvious. » «ooc: I've been of the mind for a while now that the Master is Female, for some reason.. » «ooc: *shrugs. » «ooc: The master is Gayo the woman I say! » Charity: Brilliant woman...but I'm digressing...I go to the Yggdrasil Facility now and then...they've been experimenting with growths like this. <> <> «ooc: But that'd be a bit obvious too, wouldn't it? » «ooc: Lies. It's a pickle. » <> «ooc: ;) » «ooc: The master is the Gaffling! » Oh? Experimenting? <> Do you know where they recovered them from? Or in what direction the experiments have been going? Charity: Well, yeah. That's what the facility originally did, you know...created life. But they can't quite get it to create normal life. Oh, I'm not at all privy to that sort of information. >> She shakes her head. "It's probably a coincidence...if the technology existed once, it may still, elsewhere in the world. But it is odd." «ooc: Works on making herself be a whore for tonights shakespere thing. Is fun to play mistress overdone :D » « Oh my :o » * Shane grimaces. * Shane taps the gemstone lightly. It was the Gem here that was controlling him... I wonder how related the biologi... * Shane grimaces. Charity: I had it looked at...it's not a magical circuit. >> Shane taps the Gemstone lightly. It was the Gem here that was controlling him... «ooc: ? » Pete and repeat sat on a log! Pete fell off! Who was left? «ooc: Its a medevial Yak Bak! » «ooc: ... » «ooc: Uh, nevermind. » >> Boomerang shivers momentarily. Charity: Hey! He moved! Maybe he's waking up... * Shane moves his hand from the stone. * Shane looks at the stone, making sure it's inactive. >> Boomerang shudders, and makes a motion to sit up. >> The stone is quite dead. Boomerang? >> Chartiy steps back involuntarily, obviously a little intimidated by the size of the black demon. Are you... well? «ooc: >> The Castle Explodes. » Boomerang: ...graaa...where is this place, human? Why have you brought me here? To help you recuperate. We have saved you from the mecenary. Charity: You're safe here, sir...you were wounded. «ooc: Mercenary. » We stopped him from melding his arm with your... heart-device/ I was under the impression that he was trying to re-gain control of you. Boomerang: Interesting. I didn't think the likes of you could defeat a man as powerful as he. *sits up fully, shifting position* Yes. That is probably so. * Shane nods. *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP-158-58.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by `Himura-TD))) I didn't wish to fight you again. And... we have common goals. It seemed the best choice. *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP-159-231.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) has joined #WARPG Boomerang: Don't think I'm going to work with you. Your defiance of the limits of flesh impresses me...but I walk alone. *he lowers his expressionless head in thought* However... * Shane raises an eyebrow. Boomerang: I can point you in the right direction, if you insist on trying to fight my battle. Maybe you can get rid of the weaker opponents for me. I remember more now. I will listen to all you tell me. >> Charity stays quiet...all throughout the room, the conversation has been reduced to hushed murmurs at the raspy, level voice of the alien creature. * Shane grimaces at the insecurity of the area, but this cannot be helped. Boomerang: There is a dark place east of here...a cave high on the snowy caps of a mountain. * Shane nods, committing all he says to memory in silence for now. «ooc: * remembers "MOWNTIN OF DETH!" » Boomerang: The cave is hidden by magic, and what lies within is obscured by the fog that haunts my memory. But something is there, and it is where I must go. « perhaps another piece.. ^^ » That... is where the one whom controlled you is? «ooc: Eats nasty tasting chicken ;_; » «ooc: * Ellena eats KFC » «ooc: No. Frozen :o » Boomerang: I do not know. But we shall see, shall we not? *his voice drops an octave, to the level of a raspy toneless whisper* You intend to fight that one when you find him...human? Potentially. You see, Demon, I do not desire combat, or vengeance... Presently, I only desire the relics that you took while under their control. Eliminating those that would keep me from them is a probable neccesary event, but... that is not my primary goal. * Shane grimaces again. Why do you ask? Boomerang: Combat is the only true means of advancement. That is true in any world. *pause* I, warrior from the mightiest of races, was drawn forth from the pits of hell at the behest of this puppeteer. You are a fool if you think you can oppose such a being...*he looks away, his voice rising to a natural pitch once again* But you interest me. I interest you? >> Boomerang reaches to his temples, where two gemstones sit on either side. He takes hold of the stones with a thumb and forefinger, and pulls them free with a tearing sound, dropping them in Shane's palm. "These are not part of me, they are something else given to me when I was under thrall." * Shane holds out his hands in awe. Is the... Heart... keeping you alive? Boomerang: *continues speaking without answering his question* Those trinkets have some power...but I have no need for such toys. You, however, are weak. Take them...perhaps you will live a little longer. >> The demon stands with a fluid movement. Charity stumbles backward in surprise. >> Shane gets Soulstone and Yellow Force Crystal! * Shane stands back from him, but doesn't cringe. Boomerang: I dislike crowds. I will come back for you when I am ready to depart. You are going, now? Charity: (q) ...but... How long? I have things that I want to check on. Things that may reveal vulnerabilities of the Master. Boomerang: In one cycle of the sun, I will come back here. If you aren't ready then, I will leave without you. * Shane nods. One day, in the morning. I shall be here, Demon. «ooc: uh oh. » >> Boomerang's form blurs, and he vanishes in a gust of wind. The room is as quiet as a tomb for a moment, and then gradually people begin to talk again. Shane realizes that everyone is staring at him. Charity: That was...*sits down* «ooc: Can I cut back to the main group? » «ooc: Yes, but I gotta go in 10 minutes. » <> «ooc: I'm asking Shane. » «ooc: But he seems to be dead, so OK. » «ooc: He's dead, jim :o Ooh » >> In the cafeteria, on the other end of the castle, a proud chef places a tray of steaming food in front of the eager party. «ooc: I'm just doing a short little thing here then endign. » «ooc: Goodie :) » «ooc: filfre. » « I'm still out of it. Hope someone took me to a room ^^ » «ooc: sorry, rl stuff » * Ellena looks at the food in surprise. ^^; "Quite a lot..." * Allen doesn't wait for an invitation. Chomp chomp. Rayle: Oh yeah, this's th'stuff. «ooc: I'll bbi30? » «ooc: If you want. » * Ellena picks up a danish and begins to nibble on it, "I wonder how Neydisa is doing...and Shane." <> Rayle: Yeh, she looked right pooped. «ooc: You see...Neydisa IS THE STEAMY FOOD TRAY » She seemed exhausted.. « o_o » Rayle: Doin' th'mojo will do that to yer, I 'magine. * Hikaru gnaws on something. "Pardon, Ray'?" * Allen chokes. * Ellena blinks, "Mojo...? I...haven't heard of that term..." * Jeff carefully picks up a piece of meat and takes a bite, chewing slowly. * Allen coughs, his face turning red. Rayle: Y'know, magic n' wot. >> Allen is quite abruptly tackled from behind. Samantha: Allen! «ooc: Mm...Tastes like...Neydisa ice cream! *Jeff then takes a bite out of himself*...Hey! This ice cream doesn't taste like anything! (Wonders if anyone'll get that ref) » «ooc: I did. » <> «ooc: Hehe. » * Allen falls over, the food he just dislodged from his throat getting stuck again. «ooc: Wayside ROCKS YOU, Rasis. » «ooc: Wayside rocks :D » <> «ooc: Allen chokes and dies from the tackle. :D » * Allen coughs, splutters. Samantha: Are you okay? I was so worried! ^^; Good day, Miss Samantha. * Allen holds up a finger, his face turning even redder. «ooc: Which finger? » * Hikaru looks at Allen floundering on the table. "Hey, Sammy. Mind giving Allen the heimlich?" «ooc: middle. :D » Samantha: What? Oh...oh! Uh...*backs up* «ooc: the one that proclaims, "wait just a moment." » «ooc: Yes, dek, that was the joke, thanks for destroying the subtlety. » «ooc: index finger. ;) » «ooc: Gayo: Its my job. ^_^ » Samanatha: Uh...heimlich? * Ellena sits up, walks towards Allen, and thumps him on the back ^^; «ooc: sits = stands. » * Allen manages to get the food down and takes a few deep breaths. * Jeff smiles, taking another bite, and talks aloud, not really to anyone. "It's good." ^^; Ah...sorry... >> Samantha blushes furiously. "Sorry." * Ellena quickly sits back down. «ooc: Moh. I need to go :( » * Hikaru sweatdrops. "Um, yeah." «ooc: S'OK. Almost done. » «ooc: NPC me, Gayo? ^^ Oh, if almost done hten... » * Allen pulls his hair out of his eyes and gives Sam a big hug. Rayle: All grub's good if yer got th'right mindframe. «ooc: G'bye my sweet peas! I'll be back around 10ish :) » «ooc: I won't be back tonight. » Woah What mindframe is that? *** Ellena is now known as Lucca Please, join us! I was about to go find you, but I don't need to now. :) *** Lucca (dinner@pionet-250.lclark.edu) Quit (Quit: Quote #136 *** Ashton is now known as AshHousework * Heather blinks O_o * Heather imagines Ashton in a little skirt with cherry red heels. * AshHousework is not wearing a skirt) Rayle: Th' "I want grub" mindframe. * Jeff grins. "I can't argue with you there." >> The castle explodes! «ooc: AGH! » «ooc: LOL. » «ooc: Er, right, anyway. » <> Samantha: I heard you were a big hero. ^^ * Allen wipes his mouth with a nearby napkin. "Well, I was lucky to have timed a spell properly, I guess." Samantha: Mmm. Well...I guess it's good you went, in the end. But...be careful, right? It won't always go so well. * Hikaru looks at Jeff. "Anyways, you wanted to discuss something?" * Allen moves some dishes around and clears a little space for her to sit. >> Samantha sits down, picking out an apple to eat. «ooc: Ending momentarily, so any major conversations must be luded. ^^ » * Jeff blinks, and looks at Hikaru. "Yeah.." <> * Allen shuffles some more dishes, clearly a master at managing a large amount of food, "Would you like some Eggs Benedict?" Samantha: Certainly. Rayle: Phew. Wotta day. An' it ain't even lunchtime yet. I wanted to ask you about that letter.. among a few other things. * Hikaru chews on a bagel. "So waaiffit?" * Allen continues to banter with Samantha in the background. We didn't have time to talk earlier, amidst everything. «ooc: Wrap it up. » «ooc: No more play? » «ooc: Yeah. We can do this in a lude as far as the talking. I guess. Kinda. » «ooc: If you make some sort of comment that I can end on by saying that there's more talking, that's good. » «ooc: Gayo the floor manager gives lots of hand symbols to the crew. » * Hikaru swallows the bagel. "Well, we can talk now. So spit it out..." «ooc: hehe. » «ooc: Feel free to end there." » «ooc: Gayo, I'm going to seek everyone out. I know how we need to spend the intervening day. » >> The group continues to talk quietly as the day slowly progresses onward...but onward towards what? --SESSION END-- Session Close: Sun Apr 22 23:12:37 2001
