(1:33:18 AM) You have just entered room "AND."
(1:33:19 AM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.
(1:33:21 AM) Chromeus18 has entered the room.
(1:33:22 AM) AndrewRogue has entered the room.
(1:33:27 AM) coughingpuppy has entered the room.
(1:33:29 AM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
Chromeus18 (1:33:55 AM): who
Chromeus18 (1:33:57 AM): what
Chromeus18 (1:33:58 AM): when
Chromeus18 (1:33:59 AM): where
Chromeus18 (1:34:01 AM): good
AndrewRogue (1:34:08 AM): O_o
Adm H Sopko (1:34:41 AM): why
Adm H Sopko (1:34:41 AM): how
SirAlexTheFirst (1:34:42 AM): Everyone here?
Adm H Sopko (1:34:44 AM): there
coughingpuppy (1:34:46 AM): Looks like it.
AndrewRogue (1:35:14 AM): Except Blaaaaine-y Dear.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:35:15 AM): Kirk?
Sarcazmo47 (1:37:01 AM): Yes?
SirAlexTheFirst (1:37:42 AM): Are you here?
SirAlexTheFirst (1:37:46 AM): Goood.
Sarcazmo47 (1:37:57 AM): I can here you now.
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:05 AM): I can spell.
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:06 AM): I can type.
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:08 AM): I can think.
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:19 AM): I can shoot myself in the foot to get out of the draft!
SirAlexTheFirst (1:38:19 AM): Bandon and Aria, now featuring 100% less mysterious disappearance. ~~~~~~GO~~~~~
Sarcazmo47 (1:39:21 AM): Bandon blinks. "What is it, Aria?"
AndrewRogue (1:39:47 AM): *she smiles awkwardly* "Ah... hello Bandon."
AndrewRogue (1:40:47 AM): "I'm... I'm sorry if I'm interrupting you."
Sarcazmo47 (1:41:35 AM): He smiles. "They haven't even told me what my job is yet, so you can't very well be interrupting it. You made your decision?"
AndrewRogue (1:41:55 AM): "I... ... yes I did."
Sarcazmo47 (1:42:13 AM): He nods. "What did you decide?"
AndrewRogue (1:43:26 AM): *she clenches her jaw for a moment before she sighs* "Maybe you're right. Maybe Hunter is a fool and will get us into trouble. But I won't abandon him... or this task."
AndrewRogue (1:44:49 AM): "I... I haven't been on this as long as he or Jerri... we haven't always done things the right... we've made plenty of stupid decisions..."
AndrewRogue (1:45:39 AM): "But I... I don't care! I'm not even on this for Nellix or anyone... I just want my friends... my family... everyone to be safe."
Sarcazmo47 (1:46:12 AM): He blinks, looks away for a moment, then back at her. "Yes, that is like you.." He puts a hand on her shoulder. "Aria.....don't let yourself die for this. Don't. Don't sacrifice yourself
Sarcazmo47 (1:46:19 AM): for something that's not worth it."
AndrewRogue (1:46:54 AM): *quietly* "What do you mean?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:48:13 AM): He shakes his head. "Don't die for Hunter's game, Aria! If he gets himself killed......don't follow him into it..." he looks away again.
Sarcazmo47 (1:48:28 AM): "I'm sorry. You don't need me to tell you what to do."
Adm H Sopko (1:48:33 AM): (Woo! I'm an OSC novel!)
AndrewRogue (1:48:46 AM): *she looks at him curiously* "What game?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:50:09 AM): Bandon shakes his head. "His game of the gods. His dreams of being a pawn. His refusal to accept the fact that his life is in his own hands. His refusal to face his past. Aria, he treats you like a tool.
Sarcazmo47 (1:50:28 AM): Like you're not real and that what happens doesn't have consequences."
AndrewRogue (1:50:56 AM): "He has never treated me as such!" *she snaps to her feet*
Sarcazmo47 (1:51:05 AM): "I can't be a part of that anymore. And if you can't leave him behind....well, that's part of who you are. But please, please....don't get yourself killed for it."
AndrewRogue (1:52:38 AM): *she stands there silently, looking at him* "Then... you're leaving?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:53:50 AM): He nods slowly. "I already have. I'm here at the behest of the church again. If you ever need my help, all you have to do is ask - and if my superiors tell me to go with you, then I will. But it's my duty to help those
Sarcazmo47 (1:54:11 AM): that need it...and that's not what we're doing."
AndrewRogue (1:56:05 AM): *she smiles in that terse manner of someone who is noteably upset but won't admit it. She holds he hand out.* "Well then! It... it was really nice travelling with you!"
AndrewRogue (1:56:22 AM): *her
Sarcazmo47 (1:57:34 AM): He takes her hand and holds it for a moment, then pulls her close and kisses her.
Sarcazmo47 (1:59:02 AM): "I'm sorry, Aria."
AndrewRogue (2:00:05 AM): *she pulls back slowly* "I... I am too." *she brings the back of her hand up to wipe building tears* "But sometimes paths... diverge. We must each follow our... our hearts." *smiles... sort of*
Sarcazmo47 (2:01:06 AM): He holds her hand for a moment longer. "We'll see each other again, Aria. We will."
Sarcazmo47 (2:01:19 AM): He may not be quite as confident as he sounds.
AndrewRogue (2:02:25 AM): "Of... of course." *aww, she looks so pathetic with the tears building in her eyes and all.*
Sarcazmo47 (2:04:06 AM): He nods again and turns around to go through the door the man in orange went through.
AndrewRogue (2:05:42 AM): *Aria sniffles patheticly and... uh... there's a teleporter in the room and she uses it*
SirAlexTheFirst (2:06:14 AM): Actually there's not, but we'll assume she finds her way out.
AndrewRogue (2:06:44 AM): (Oh... yeah. She'll walk back towards the one she came in on or just wander until she finds it.)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:08:00 AM): Bandon finds himself in a spacious hallway with numbered rooms in it, looking astonishingly like the hall he stayed in at the Church of Gabriel.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:09:01 AM): The man in orange is standing in it, waiting. He extends his hand in greeting when Bandon enters. "My name's Marc. I'm the only staffer around here right now."
Sarcazmo47 (2:09:17 AM): Bandon shakes his hand warmly and hands him a cookie.
Sarcazmo47 (2:09:50 AM): "Thanks for the greeting, Marc. I'm here as liason from the Church Of Luthien. They were a little hazy on my specific duties."
SirAlexTheFirst (2:11:05 AM): Marc takes the cookie and eats it without a second thought. "Well, I don't really know either. I'm just a maintainance man here - everyone else is out on duty. But if I'm right - have you ever heard of an exosuit?"
Sarcazmo47 (2:11:38 AM): Bandon shakes his head and looks intrigued. "A what?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:12:22 AM): "Ah. How about a computer?"
Sarcazmo47 (2:12:48 AM): Bandon shakes his head again.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:13:45 AM): Marc nods in resignation and repeats his explanation of what computers and exosuits are and the problem with the pilots.
Sarcazmo47 (2:14:16 AM): Right.
Sarcazmo47 (2:15:20 AM): Bandon nods. "I see. How many of them are there?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:16:04 AM): "Pilots? Five. Three are out on a mission right now. I think they're supposed to be capturing that Verity guy. The other two are in training, and watching the mission on backup."
Sarcazmo47 (2:17:14 AM): Bandon looks very surprised. "Cap...capturing?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:18:34 AM): Marc nods. "So they told me. This is supposed to be the big test to see if the suits can stand magic."
AndrewRogue (2:18:49 AM): (FAILE)
Chromeus18 (2:19:12 AM): if those exosuits are gnome shaped...
Sarcazmo47 (2:19:55 AM): Bandon just nods again. "I....see. When will the pilots be back? And who is the personnel manager here?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:21:11 AM): His response is a shrug. "As long as it takes to get Verity and fly back. Just a few minutes now, if we're lucky."
Sarcazmo47 (2:22:56 AM): No response to the personnel manager question?
SirAlexTheFirst (2:23:37 AM): Nope.
Sarcazmo47 (2:24:01 AM): Wow.
Sarcazmo47 (2:24:40 AM): There are various things going "whrrrrr-click" in Bandon's head about the idea of flying from Gelendar to here in a few minutes, but it's doing so without his mouth hanging open like a retard.
Sarcazmo47 (2:24:48 AM): He just lets out a very neutral "I see."
Sarcazmo47 (2:25:21 AM): "Would you mind introducing me to the pilots in training?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:26:16 AM): "Sure, as soon as they get back. These are their apartments - they'll all come back here when they return."
Sarcazmo47 (2:27:28 AM): He nods. "And...who is their supervisor?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:27:49 AM): Marc frowns. "Well... what do you mean?"
Chromeus18 (2:29:21 AM): (actually, Begres)
Sarcazmo47 (2:30:11 AM): Bandon blinks. "Their supervisor. The person that is provided with all the pertinent information on their health and background and is in charge of their management between missions." He smiles.
Sarcazmo47 (2:30:19 AM): "Unless they pick their missions themselves."
SirAlexTheFirst (2:30:19 AM): (Chrome..... no...... NO..... Begres is NOT the supervisor....)
Chromeus18 (2:31:16 AM): (Verity lives in Begres though, not Gelendar :P)
Sarcazmo47 (2:31:35 AM): (Chrome, every time you say "In Begres" it makes me gag."
Sarcazmo47 (2:31:40 AM): *)
coughingpuppy (2:31:42 AM): ((Me too.))
SirAlexTheFirst (2:33:19 AM): "The missions are handed down from management. I think the Council decides them, right now. I could take you to the health director, I suppose, but there isn't any one supervisor figure like you're talking about."
Chromeus18 (2:33:36 AM): (In Begres)
Sarcazmo47 (2:34:53 AM): Bandon just blinks. "There's no one to supervise a group of people that you're entrusting these exosuits to?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:36:17 AM): "I think the line of reasoning there is that it would be bad for the psychological element," Marc continues.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:37:21 AM): "I don't know how much you know about Whittyre, if you've never been here before. The labs, and the government in general, tend to not have single leaders like most other places in the world do."
Sarcazmo47 (2:37:22 AM): Bandon blinks again. "Whittyre is a very interesting country. Marc. What was it you do here again?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:38:26 AM): "If you're talking to the pilots, you might want to avoid setting up that concept.... me? I'm the fix-it man. Whenever any of the pilots has a problem, they tell me and I do my best to get it corrected."
Chromeus18 (2:38:28 AM): *turns in his sleep* >_>
Adm H Sopko (2:39:12 AM): ::Tells his story::
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:38 AM): He shakes his head. "Forgive my confusion. This just seems very....strange to me. Why would the managment ask the Church of Luthien to send a liason with the exosuit pilots
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:39 AM): and not send anyone to explain what my new duties are?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:42:03 AM): Marc sighs. "I have no idea. Do you know who sent the request? It does seem odd that they would do that without telling me."
Sarcazmo47 (2:42:55 AM): Bandon shakes his head. "No, but I could send a message to my superiors and find out."
SirAlexTheFirst (2:44:54 AM): "Probably not worth the trouble. You can ask some of the other trainers when people get back - ah, there they are." Marc turns around as you hear doors opening and people talking out in the office.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:45:21 AM): (Okay what. Do people want a scene switch or what?)
AndrewRogue (2:45:36 AM): (Wha...?)
Sarcazmo47 (2:45:42 AM): We could do Snow White.
coughingpuppy (2:45:59 AM): ((I'm okay with a scene switch.))
SirAlexTheFirst (2:46:35 AM): Okay then. Go for it.
Chromeus18 (2:46:58 AM): *is ready*
coughingpuppy (2:47:40 AM): Okay. Aurelia's finally stopped running and is with Jerri and Karn, and just saw the mechanical things fly off. Things are probably kind of quiet now?
SirAlexTheFirst (2:48:05 AM): Aurelia, Karn and Jerriford are in the forest, having just run away from the big scary metal talking things. Things are quiet now, and they just saw the.....
SirAlexTheFirst (2:48:07 AM): yeah.
coughingpuppy (2:48:21 AM): ((*grin*))
Chromeus18 (2:49:10 AM): ....ok
Chromeus18 (2:50:01 AM): "We should find your husband.."
coughingpuppy (2:50:12 AM): Aurelia turns around to face the house, shakes her head, and then without a word starts back towards it. She walks pretty calmly for a few steps and then just starts running.
Chromeus18 (2:50:45 AM): did the mechanical things take Verity? that we saw?
SirAlexTheFirst (2:51:07 AM): You wouldn't have been able to see that at this distance.
Chromeus18 (2:51:23 AM): *runs to the house*
SirAlexTheFirst (2:52:25 AM): The house looks just as it did when you left it.
coughingpuppy (2:52:31 AM): Aurelia doesn't go all the way to the house, but she starts circling the area, hoping she'll run into him. At worst she's looking for a body, and after not seeing him in the area she casts Deathwatch.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:52:47 AM): It has most certainly not been PPC'd into smoking ruin.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:53:33 AM): Deathwatch reveals nothing unsual in the area, except a dead raccoon.
Chromeus18 (2:53:34 AM): *waits outside the house, and assists in searching*
coughingpuppy (2:54:48 AM): She tries yelling for him once or twice, but is pretty sure now that he was probably taken with whatever those things were. Silent, and looking pretty worried, she heads back over to Jerri.
coughingpuppy (2:55:00 AM): "Do you know what those were?"
Chromeus18 (2:56:12 AM): "Metal... beasts... I know nothing beyond that."
Chromeus18 (2:56:40 AM): Jerri stammers his words out.
coughingpuppy (2:56:59 AM): "I shouldn't have run away." Aurelia is in the process of checking the door to the house to make sure it's locked.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:57:11 AM): It is.
Chromeus18 (2:57:14 AM): "Do you know what direction they went?"
coughingpuppy (2:57:19 AM): ((Did she see?))
SirAlexTheFirst (2:58:48 AM): Indeed.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:59:10 AM): They flew towards Gelendar, southwestish.
coughingpuppy (2:59:43 AM): She points in that direction, then. "Do you think it came from Gelendar, or further on? I didn't see anything like them when we were there."
Chromeus18 (3:00:48 AM): "I've never seen things like that in me whole life...."
coughingpuppy (3:01:53 AM): "Yes, I think you said something like that already." Aurelia sighs, picks up the bag Verity thrust into her hands before telling her to run, and then starts walking in the direction she pointed in.
Chromeus18 (3:02:10 AM): "Let's head to Gelendar for now."
coughingpuppy (3:02:31 AM): "I was planning on that."
coughingpuppy (3:03:11 AM): She'll make sure Karn is coming along, too.
Chromeus18 (3:03:24 AM): "Hunter and Aria are in Whittyre.... gimme a sec."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:03:37 AM): Karn is just following Aurelia quietly.
Chromeus18 (3:04:09 AM): <Hunter! Aria! Verity is gone!>
coughingpuppy (3:04:12 AM): Aurelia stops and turns to look at him. "Where is Whittyre?"
Adm H Sopko (3:04:28 AM): ~I know... I watched it happen~
AndrewRogue (3:04:40 AM): ~What?~
Chromeus18 (3:04:59 AM): Jerri is silent, only mouthing words as if speaking them
Adm H Sopko (3:05:02 AM): ~The people in Whittyre took him~
coughingpuppy (3:05:19 AM): Aurelia doesn't think it's all that weird, since she's known about their circlets since she first ran into them.
Adm H Sopko (3:05:30 AM): ~The National Labs, whatever this division is...~
Chromeus18 (3:05:56 AM): <In Whittyre? Dear Tiyrael... >
Chromeus18 (3:06:21 AM): Jerri shoots off towards the southwest, beckoning Aurelia and Karn to follow.
Chromeus18 (3:06:46 AM): "We're heading to Whittyre."
coughingpuppy (3:07:06 AM): Aurelia easily keeps pace with him. "They took him there? Or do you only want to meet with your friends?"
SirAlexTheFirst (3:07:23 AM): Karn asks "Where is Whittyre?"
Chromeus18 (3:07:34 AM): "We should find mounts... we can't hope to get there in time on foot."
Chromeus18 (3:08:15 AM): "Hunter said Verity was taken by people in Whittyre, National Labs, or something."
coughingpuppy (3:08:23 AM): "I don't know how to ride." Nevertheless, she's regretting the fact that poor Xavix is probably a broken heap somewhere in the woods right now. "And how does he know that?"
Chromeus18 (3:09:30 AM): "Hunter and Aria are in Whittyre."
Chromeus18 (3:09:56 AM): Jerri runs full speed towards Gelendar, unless there's a closer town around.
coughingpuppy (3:10:17 AM): "Yes, you've said that already. But I can't imagine that they would know about him being captured already...or that he's even THERE already..."
Chromeus18 (3:12:15 AM): Jerri slows, then stops, and turns to face Aurelia. "You can either trust us or not. It's your choice."
coughingpuppy (3:13:05 AM): Aurelia just blinks at him. "This isn't a matter of trusting you. This is a matter of knowing how he's getting his information. We don't know whether it was forced out of him or not.
Chromeus18 (3:14:27 AM): "Then it is a matter of trust by default. I trust that Hunter is right, and he's helping us. What else do you have to go on?"
coughingpuppy (3:15:45 AM): "I'm not sure where I implied that I didn't trust you. I would like to believe that none of you would betray someone you traveled with, and from what I've seen I can rely on you. But you'll excuse me if I think
coughingpuppy (3:15:55 AM): it's in my best interests at the moment to be wary."
Chromeus18 (3:17:19 AM): "You can be wary all you want. I'll find Verity myself if I have to. Hunter hasn't led me astray yet, and he's told me that your husband was taken by a group in Whittyre."
coughingpuppy (3:17:40 AM): "Yes. And I'm simply questioning how he knows that."
Chromeus18 (3:17:59 AM): "He's in Whittyre, and I trust him."
Adm H Sopko (3:18:10 AM): (You can always ask him...)
coughingpuppy (3:19:16 AM): She shrugs. "I want to go find Verity, so I have to regardless. We're wasting time, let's go."
Chromeus18 (3:19:24 AM): Jerri holds his tongue, and continues on towards Gelendar to find some crits to ride.
Chromeus18 (3:20:05 AM): <Hunter, Aria, what do you know of Veriy's abduction?>
Chromeus18 (3:20:14 AM): full run
coughingpuppy (3:20:42 AM): A full run for Jerri is probably a light jog for Aurelia, so she keeps up easily.
SirAlexTheFirst (3:20:53 AM): Karn just keeps on trucking.
SirAlexTheFirst (3:21:03 AM): And all of you run to Gelendar.
Adm H Sopko (3:21:06 AM): ~It seems that the National Labs here want to question him about something. Most likely, it's about what the Marquis said, the portals. I'm at the labs now looking for information. They seem very interested in details
Adm H Sopko (3:21:09 AM): pertaining to that.~
AndrewRogue (3:21:19 AM): *Aria gives no response to the question or anything*
Chromeus18 (3:23:10 AM): Jerri trucks onwards, suffering any penalties <They take him to question him? That's not a good way to go about it..>
Chromeus18 (3:23:40 AM): and when we arrive, Jerri heads towards the nearest livestock rental place!
Adm H Sopko (3:23:52 AM): ~I told them that... they're just being asses, in my opinion... or testing something.~
SirAlexTheFirst (3:23:57 AM): That'll be in about 6-8 hours of jogging.
Adm H Sopko (3:24:08 AM): So scene switch?<G>
SirAlexTheFirst (3:24:12 AM): Suuure.
Chromeus18 (3:24:41 AM): Jerri runs. scene switch is imminent as Aurelia drags Jerri's old ass body along :P
Adm H Sopko (3:24:42 AM): I'm up I guess
SirAlexTheFirst (3:24:55 AM): So Hunter's been telling his story.
Adm H Sopko (3:24:58 AM): Yep
Adm H Sopko (3:25:04 AM): Eventually he finishes
AndrewRogue (3:25:31 AM): (Question of the night: Why is there a mosquito bite on my foot?)
Chromeus18 (3:25:36 AM): Jerri is available for telepathy!
SirAlexTheFirst (3:25:48 AM): Miss Mab keeps on smiling. "Is that everything?"
Adm H Sopko (3:26:05 AM): "To the best of my abilities, yes."
Chromeus18 (3:26:11 AM): (live in florida, you'll wonder why they didn't bite so much :P)
SirAlexTheFirst (3:26:32 AM): "Were there any other reasons you came to Whittyre?"
Adm H Sopko (3:28:28 AM): "Other than looking for information pertaining to the pillars? No."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:28:54 AM): "Do you think any of these pillars might be in Whittyre, or associated with us?"
Adm H Sopko (3:29:30 AM): "I'm not entirely sure. It is possible, but I do not know enough about Whittyre to be certain. That is why I am here, to learn"
SirAlexTheFirst (3:31:13 AM): "I see. What are your plans regarding Bandon? He seems to not agree with you at the moment..."
Adm H Sopko (3:32:12 AM): "Well... I'll deal with it when it comes. If he chooses not to follow me, or to quit all together, there is nothing I can do."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:33:37 AM): "Follow you to where, would you say?'
Adm H Sopko (3:35:02 AM): "I will continue on until I all of this is resolved. I will go wherever I must on it."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:35:33 AM): "Do you have any actual ideas about specific places you might go?"
Adm H Sopko (3:36:37 AM): "Well, I still want to continue looking around Whittyre. If there really is nothing here... I was planning on going to Pernolde next. I have... things I need to take care of there."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:37:36 AM): "And what would those things be?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:37:59 AM): They think you're a terrorist.
Adm H Sopko (3:38:04 AM): "First, I need to see my father on family business. Then, I intend to investigate there as well."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:39:04 AM): "And what would this family business be?"
Adm H Sopko (3:39:37 AM): "An apology..."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:40:28 AM): She nods, and changes tack. "Have you ever held any animosity towards the government or people of Whittyre?"
Adm H Sopko (3:40:40 AM): ::He laughs::
Sarcazmo47 (3:40:41 AM): THEY THINK YOU'RE A TERRORIST
Adm H Sopko (3:41:23 AM): Kirk. I'm not fucking blind.
Sarcazmo47 (3:41:36 AM): I'm being facetious, buddy.
Adm H Sopko (3:42:01 AM): ((::Rolls his eyes:: ))
AndrewRogue (3:42:17 AM): (What I want to know is who came up with the word facetious. I hate the spelling <_<)
Chromeus18 (3:42:43 AM): (i want to know how that's pronounced, myself)
Adm H Sopko (3:43:20 AM): "Of course not... I hold no animosity towards anyone... save maybe the Marquis, but even that is sort of falling away."
Chromeus18 (3:43:32 AM): (fash-eesh-ish? face-ish-us? i'm dumbfounded!)
Sarcazmo47 (3:43:58 AM): (fa-seesh-ous)
AndrewRogue (3:44:08 AM): (Fa-shesh-ous I think. But I should quit interrupting. *shuts up*)
Chromeus18 (3:44:27 AM): (ok)
SirAlexTheFirst (3:44:53 AM): "Are you aware that the government of Whittyre has undertaken a mission to capture Verity?"
Adm H Sopko (3:46:08 AM): "Yes. I was watching on the monitor. Very dramatic stuff. I'm sure you'll find out all you want about the portals from him after that..."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:46:41 AM): "How do you feel about this?"
Adm H Sopko (3:47:27 AM): "It's futile on your part. We have it from a pretty high authority that it's impossible for him to go home, meaning no more gates."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:48:16 AM): Mab laughs. "That may be. But I meant, how do you feel about Verity's capture?"
Adm H Sopko (3:50:02 AM): ::He ponders this for a moment:: "Verity just wants to be left alone. Yes, he has a lot to own up to... but he has redeemed himself somewhat. I highly doubt he will ever commit such crimes again."
Chromeus18 (3:50:32 AM): If Jerri could, he'd slap Hunter on the back heartily
SirAlexTheFirst (3:51:28 AM): "You aren't angry?"
Adm H Sopko (3:52:34 AM): "A bit... anger isn't the word though... disappointed is more... I'd hoped that he'd be able to live in peace after everything that had happened... but I guess it wasn't to be."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:53:45 AM): "Can you guarantee that you will not take any aggressive action against Whittyre for their actions in this matter?"
Adm H Sopko (3:54:31 AM): "I highly doubt there is anything you could do that'd provoke a response from me, save for killing him unnecessarily."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:55:42 AM): "Did you bring any weapons with you into Whittyre?"
Adm H Sopko (3:56:16 AM): "Just the ones you see on me."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:56:41 AM): "And how about into Whittyre National Laboratories?"
Adm H Sopko (3:57:08 AM): "Same answer."
Adm H Sopko (3:58:03 AM): "Honestly, if you want to take me into custody, don't pussyfoot around it."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:58:40 AM): Miss Mab shakes her head. "No, I don't think that will be necessary. Just one more question."
Adm H Sopko (3:59:08 AM): "Alright then."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:59:12 AM): "Have you ever met or spoken with anyone on the Whittyre Council?"
Adm H Sopko (4:00:19 AM): "Not that I am aware of..."
SirAlexTheFirst (4:01:37 AM): "All right. You are free to go now. Thank you for your help and cooperation!"
SirAlexTheFirst (4:01:58 AM): With a last bright smile, the lady simply vanishes from your sight and the door to the room swings open.
AndrewRogue (4:02:08 AM): (BRB)
Chromeus18 (4:02:46 AM): SPELLCRAFT oh wait
Adm H Sopko (4:03:17 AM): ::He sighs a bit:: "Damn..." ::Then thinks to himself:: ~Well, at least I picked one modicum of information up... something is up with the council if they want to know we've interacted with them.~
SirAlexTheFirst (4:03:23 AM): c-r-a-f-t, Chrome
Chromeus18 (4:04:20 AM): i can spellcraft that? :P
SirAlexTheFirst (4:04:26 AM): Two men in the blue uniforms are waiting for you outside the door.
Chromeus18 (4:04:26 AM): from this far away?
Adm H Sopko (4:04:50 AM): ::He stands:: "Well hello. Where to now? The front door, I bet?"
SirAlexTheFirst (4:05:17 AM): "Yessir. Time to go."
SirAlexTheFirst (4:06:01 AM): As before, they start walking away, leading Hunter through halls and teleporters and eventually ending up back in the main lobby. Assuming he doesn't do anything funny.
Chromeus18 (4:06:04 AM): Jerri charges onwards!
Adm H Sopko (4:06:45 AM): ::Of course not. He actually has a lead to go on now::
SirAlexTheFirst (4:07:19 AM): Rightyo then. They leave you in the lobby, pointedly in front of the main doors.
Adm H Sopko (4:07:51 AM): ::Walks out non-chalantly, heading back to the hotel::
Chromeus18 (4:08:13 AM): so... us?
Chromeus18 (4:08:25 AM): or Aria?
Chromeus18 (4:08:29 AM): or Bandon?
Chromeus18 (4:08:55 AM): or more Hunter?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:09:19 AM): Or sleep. I'm really tired for some reason. Y'all pick.
Adm H Sopko (4:09:20 AM): Does anything happen on the way to the hotel? Can I tell if I'm being followed or watched?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:09:32 AM): No, nothing unusual happens.
Adm H Sopko (4:09:37 AM): Coo
Chromeus18 (4:10:03 AM): can we at least reach Gelendar tonight?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:10:47 AM): ...
Chromeus18 (4:10:49 AM): assuming Aurelia is ready, of course
coughingpuppy (4:11:26 AM): Sure she is.
AndrewRogue (4:11:35 AM): (I'm... up for whatever.)
SirAlexTheFirst (4:12:28 AM): Someone pick.
Chromeus18 (4:13:09 AM): *picks* :P
SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:18 AM): Go, then.
Chromeus18 (4:14:08 AM): any rolls for running?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:14:42 AM): Go right ahead. I'd think that after 8 hours of running you'd be tired pretty much no matter what.
Chromeus18 (4:14:54 AM): ok
coughingpuppy (4:15:29 AM): So they drag into Gelendar feeling exhausted?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:15:36 AM): Yep!
Chromeus18 (4:15:51 AM): Jerri leads Aurelia and Karn into Gelendar's gates, and heads for a place where they can either buy or rent horses.
coughingpuppy (4:16:28 AM): Aurelia frowns. "How far away is this country, again?"
SirAlexTheFirst (4:16:39 AM): Karn coughs when he sees where you're heading. "I do not know how to ride horses, sir."
Chromeus18 (4:16:42 AM): "It's... *pant* far..."
coughingpuppy (4:17:13 AM): "So I gathered. There might be a better way to get there."
Chromeus18 (4:17:36 AM): "How so?"
coughingpuppy (4:19:18 AM): "Spells can be used as transport from one place to another. We would just need to go to a temple."
SirAlexTheFirst (4:20:13 AM): (Or, y'know, the public teleports that people generally use for long range travel, like the one the party used to get to Whittyre in the first place. Actually, exactly that one.)
coughingpuppy (4:20:35 AM): ((Aurelia doesn't know about those.))
SirAlexTheFirst (4:21:28 AM): (This is true. Jerri should, though.)
Chromeus18 (4:21:54 AM): (As far as I know, Jerri doesn't know.)
AndrewRogue (4:23:00 AM): (Its pretty common knowledge. We used them to get from Asgard to Gelendar even.)
Chromeus18 (4:23:27 AM): (Hence, i REALLY hate missing sessions.)
Chromeus18 (4:24:25 AM): (Jerri knows though?)
SirAlexTheFirst (4:24:30 AM): (Yes. He does.)
Chromeus18 (4:25:38 AM): "...Better idea... Follow me." *dashes off to a temple of... Luthien*
coughingpuppy (4:26:13 AM): Aurelia looks vaguely confused, but wearily runs after him.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:26:15 AM): Do you want to go there, or do you want to go to the public teleport building?
Chromeus18 (4:27:04 AM): directly to the building Hunter was in, if possible. if not, to a public teleport building.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:27:25 AM): The one Hunter was in when?
Chromeus18 (4:27:34 AM): *steps into the teleporter" "Hold your breath.."
Chromeus18 (4:27:49 AM): the one Hunter was in earlier
coughingpuppy (4:28:03 AM): Aurelia is investigating the teleporter. "Why?"
Chromeus18 (4:28:43 AM): "It may be a shock.." *disappears*
SirAlexTheFirst (4:29:07 AM): So you're taking the teleports to Whittyre.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:29:10 AM): Right?
Chromeus18 (4:29:14 AM): yes
SirAlexTheFirst (4:29:17 AM): Okay.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:29:47 AM): You can't.
Chromeus18 (4:29:57 AM): do wha?
Chromeus18 (4:30:02 AM): are we blocked?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:30:09 AM): The clerk at the counter smiles apologetically.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:30:20 AM): "I'm afraid we are not allowing travel to Whittyre at this time."
coughingpuppy (4:30:28 AM): Aurelia frowns at the clerk. "Why not?"
Chromeus18 (4:31:22 AM): "We have urgent matters."
SirAlexTheFirst (4:31:25 AM): "We have reason to believe that terrorists may be attempting to travel to Whittyre to commit acts of terrorism, causing terror within the people of Whittyre."
coughingpuppy (4:32:09 AM): Aurelia looks pointedly down at the very plain way she's dressed, then to the two dwarves, then back at the clerk. "Sir...I can understand your concern, but it's very urgent that we travel there."
SirAlexTheFirst (4:32:19 AM): "Say..." he looks curious. "Are you terrorists?"
Chromeus18 (4:32:38 AM): "I am a servant of Tiyrael... It's important."
Chromeus18 (4:33:13 AM): *presents his holy symbol*
SirAlexTheFirst (4:33:44 AM): "Do you have a friend or relative in Whittyre who could vouch for your responsibility?"
Chromeus18 (4:34:14 AM): "Yes. Ask Bandon, of the church of Luthien."
SirAlexTheFirst (4:34:57 AM): He frowns. "Didn't you just say you were with the church of Tiyreal?"
coughingpuppy (4:35:18 AM): "Is there a reason members of different orders can't cooperate?"
Chromeus18 (4:35:33 AM): "I also said it was important."
coughingpuppy (4:36:14 AM): "He's on business with the church. We could get it cleared for you, if need be."
SirAlexTheFirst (4:36:17 AM): Karn cuts in, saying "I give you my word of honor that we are not terrorists and will not harm your nation."
Sarcazmo47 (4:36:48 AM): Would you like some Freedom Fries with that?
Chromeus18 (4:36:56 AM): yes!
SirAlexTheFirst (4:36:57 AM): Make me some Diplomacy checks
coughingpuppy (4:37:09 AM): ((Oh my God, Aurelia gets to use her diplomacy check. Finally.))
*OnlineHost* (4:37:18 AM): coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
coughingpuppy (4:37:21 AM): 24.
Chromeus18 (4:37:24 AM): Jerri waits for everyone else
*OnlineHost* (4:37:40 AM): Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Chromeus18 (4:37:46 AM): 18 for Jerri!
*OnlineHost* (4:38:05 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
SirAlexTheFirst (4:38:53 AM): The clerk sighs and nods. "Very well. Brother Bandon came through here yesterday, did he not?"
coughingpuppy (4:39:01 AM): "Yes, sir."
Chromeus18 (4:39:17 AM): "He.. did."
SirAlexTheFirst (4:39:32 AM): "Your faces will be recorded. Go on through."
coughingpuppy (4:39:49 AM): "Thank you." Aurelia heads through.
Chromeus18 (4:40:05 AM): "Thank you." *passes through*
SirAlexTheFirst (4:40:18 AM): He walks back behind the counter and flips a few switches and such, then opens the door to the room behind him. "Straight this way."
Chromeus18 (4:40:25 AM): so are we in the building? or in the general teleportation center?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:40:26 AM): And so you go to Whittyre.
Chromeus18 (4:40:37 AM): ok
SirAlexTheFirst (4:40:47 AM): It's like a modern airport. Only smaller. And with teleporters. And slightly less modern.
Chromeus18 (4:40:56 AM): <Hunter, we've just arrived in Whittyre. Where are you?"
Chromeus18 (4:40:57 AM): >
SirAlexTheFirst (4:41:32 AM): And you'll arrive at a similar facility in Whittyre, where it is almost dark now.
Chromeus18 (4:41:38 AM): <Aria? I'm here in Whittyre with Aurelia and Karn.>
coughingpuppy (4:42:10 AM): Aurelia immediately starts looking around for something that looks like it might be the laboratories.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:42:11 AM): Hunter and Aria are pretty far behind you in time.
Chromeus18 (4:42:29 AM): no contact then?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:42:32 AM): They'll probably be around here to meet you, or at least at the hotel. Unless they're not.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:42:42 AM): We should go get them caught up.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:42:54 AM): Or stop.
Chromeus18 (4:43:51 AM): i can go on, it's up to everyone else
AndrewRogue (4:44:52 AM): (Its up to Alex. If you're sleepy man, freakin' sleep. Otherwise, I'm ready and raring to go.)
Chromeus18 (4:46:46 AM): i'm prepared for any event
Chromeus18 (4:46:52 AM): except Tarrasques
SirAlexTheFirst (4:46:59 AM): Aria, go, then.
AndrewRogue (4:48:12 AM): Well then. Aria has left the exceptionally confusing basement of Ex-oh things and Coms made of pewter.
Sarcazmo47 (4:48:21 AM): I'm prepared for Tarrasques.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:48:27 AM): Yes she has.
Sarcazmo47 (4:48:30 AM): My "lay down and die" button is right here.
AndrewRogue (4:49:14 AM): So... in finding her way out of there, where does she end up?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:49:57 AM): She'll likely find her way out to the lift tube... which brings her up into the huge empty hangar.
Chromeus18 (4:50:33 AM): Jerri has sent a message to her :P when the time comes, she SHOULD recieve it..
AndrewRogue (4:50:58 AM): *she rubs her eyes pathetically as she looks around for a way out, or someone she could ask for such*
SirAlexTheFirst (4:51:05 AM): Right as she gets out there, though, the entire roof vanishes, leaving open noontime sky in its place.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:51:30 AM): Three black dots are moving in the sky, and growing larger.
Chromeus18 (4:51:39 AM): facehuggers!
Chromeus18 (4:51:50 AM): ref save, ref save!
Chromeus18 (4:51:57 AM): *shuts up*
SirAlexTheFirst (4:52:11 AM): And several groups of people are emerging from the other lifts in the building.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:52:49 AM): Is Aria at all interested in these happenings, or is she just going to the teleporters out?
AndrewRogue (4:53:06 AM): *she looks noteably confused as she stands there, disoriented, watching to see what's happening*
SirAlexTheFirst (4:54:37 AM): The dots grow larger and larger, until it is clear that they are huge metal legged... things, roughly humanoid. Spurts of flame come from their undersides now and then, slowing their descent.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:56:15 AM): The three large things come down and land gently in the building, and you can see two more dots in the sky above coming in.
AndrewRogue (4:56:23 AM): *she watches them with awe... making sure she is WAY out of the way. Could these be those Exosuit things?*
SirAlexTheFirst (4:56:56 AM): All the people begin hurrying around the landed things, which... open, at the tops and sides, and a person climbs out of each.
Sarcazmo47 (4:58:02 AM): Where is the man in the straw hat and apron?
SirAlexTheFirst (4:58:05 AM): The ground team around the largest one also removes a human-sized metal cylinder from its underbelly.
SirAlexTheFirst (4:59:06 AM): And the man in the straw hat and apron is back on the ranch singing the ballad of Bilbo Potter and the Sorceror's Donkey.
AndrewRogue (4:59:37 AM): *she looks at it curiously, even approaching a bit closer to examine it and these metal things* (Whaaaat a cross-over <_<)
Chromeus18 (5:00:02 AM): (while Orchemus blasts random things with acid arrows!)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:00:38 AM): ...
SirAlexTheFirst (5:00:58 AM): It's a metal cylinder. Smooth, black. Not much to say.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:01:14 AM): About 7 feet long, 3 feet wide.
coughingpuppy (5:01:30 AM): ((I'm really tired, guys...I'm going to bed. 'Night!))
AndrewRogue (5:01:42 AM): (;_; Night Staci.)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:01:42 AM): The giant metal things, of which the other two have now landed, are....
SirAlexTheFirst (5:01:45 AM): Good night.
Chromeus18 (5:03:15 AM): (g'nite)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:03:20 AM): Well, they don't look anything like 'suits', but four of the five have two legs and two arms and a rough head. One of them is in the shape of a humanoid, and is even painted as such, with a grinning mock-skull on the head.
AndrewRogue (5:04:32 AM): Do any of the people bustling about look relatively not busy? ...and for that matter, what does the 5th look like?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:04:47 AM): One is quite small, little more than a box on stilts with small arms (carrying dangerous looking implements).
SirAlexTheFirst (5:05:47 AM): The odd one has eight legs.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:06:37 AM): And six arms on its vertical torso section, which rises above the lower legged torso. The whole thing vaguely resembles a centaur, perhaps.
AndrewRogue (5:06:49 AM): (AHHH! ARACHNID MECH!)
AndrewRogue (5:08:19 AM): *Aria stares at the one, a look of pure confusion crossing her face. Her curiosity overwhelming just about everything, she looks for an un-busy looking person*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:08:19 AM): A fourth looks strangely like Karn in his armor, with many flanges and plates on the shoulders and joints.
AndrewRogue (5:08:33 AM): (Curses... my sense of timing sucks)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:09:31 AM): And the last and bulkiest one is a huge collection of squarish and oblong metal segments composing a body on two legs, each several feet wide.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:10:25 AM): You're not going to find any non-busy people here.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:10:58 AM): The folks who climbed out of the mechs, and several other people, are all heading right for the lift tube where you are, though.
AndrewRogue (5:12:38 AM): (Those are some neat looking things) *Aria hastily steps aside so as to not be directly in their way. As they pass though, she can't help but ask...* "Uhm, are these those Exosuits?" *not forceful, just curious*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:13:45 AM): The people heading through look at you funny. One replies, "Yes ma'am, they are. What, ah, are you doing around here?"
(5:14:23 AM) Dark Japheth has entered the room.
AndrewRogue (5:15:50 AM): "Ah... I was just on my way out from the... from the basement place when you... you brought the Suit-things in. I was curious so I... I waited to watch what you were doing."
AndrewRogue (5:17:22 AM): ('Allo there Gorth!)
Dark Japheth (5:18:08 AM): (I am here to oversee the apparant calculated rape of all that I hold dear.)
AndrewRogue (5:18:50 AM): (Ah. Enjoy then ^_^)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:19:05 AM): He squints at you. "Who are you and how'd you get in here? Ah, nevermind. If you're lookin for the way out, the teleporters are right over there." He hooks a thumb towards the rack.
Chromeus18 (5:19:33 AM): (The MIB disapprove!)
Chromeus18 (5:19:41 AM): (where's the flashy thing?)
AndrewRogue (5:20:43 AM): "Ah... thank you. And I apologize if I... if I interfered or anything."
AndrewRogue (5:21:50 AM): *she gives a somewhat hasty bow as she turns away and heads to the aforementioned exit teleporter*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:22:11 AM): "No trouble." Despite saying this, he stares at you coldly until you leave.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:23:39 AM): And...
SirAlexTheFirst (5:23:45 AM): What number teleporter are you going to?
AndrewRogue (5:24:04 AM): Umm... any chance I remember which one I came in on?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:24:40 AM): Int check.
*OnlineHost* (5:24:59 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
AndrewRogue (5:25:04 AM): ...4.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:25:17 AM): Your mind has been blown and you have no idea.
AndrewRogue (5:26:39 AM): *she looks at them uneasily, struggling to recall* How many tubes are there?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:27:30 AM): There are more rows upwards than you can count, and about 100 columns.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:28:06 AM): The numbering starts at 0001, in the very lower left of the bank.
AndrewRogue (5:28:54 AM): *Aria strides over to that one. 0001... should be the entrance, right?*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:29:42 AM): Good guess. It drops you at the front desk in the main building.
AndrewRogue (5:30:53 AM): *she sighs and heads towards the Entrance/Exit door. She just wants out.*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:32:01 AM): The door, from the inside, slides open when you approach it. And you're out.
AndrewRogue (5:33:10 AM): (Yay! Aria managed not to get in serious trouble!)
Chromeus18 (5:33:53 AM): soo....
Adm H Sopko (5:34:03 AM): Where does she go?
AndrewRogue (5:34:20 AM): (Hrmm... what time is it Al?)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:35:15 AM): Noonish
(5:36:16 AM) Dark Japheth has left the room.
AndrewRogue (5:36:17 AM): *Aria... is definitely hungry. Hungry girl yes. But she recalls the incident at dinner.*
AndrewRogue (5:36:53 AM): *To take her mind off things, she'll need food. So... she'll locate a terminal-thing and use it to locate a bank.*
Chromeus18 (5:37:06 AM): (are you a vampire, Alex? :P)
(5:37:13 AM) Dark Japheth has entered the room.
Dark Japheth (5:37:17 AM): (Fucking internet.)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:37:23 AM): (Yes, Chrome. Yes I am.)
Adm H Sopko (5:37:49 AM): (Hunter is back at the hotel, for reference)
AndrewRogue (5:38:10 AM): (Yay!)
Chromeus18 (5:38:24 AM): (Jerri is.. wherever they arrived, with Aurelia and Karn)
Chromeus18 (5:38:39 AM): (word, Aurelia!)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:39:03 AM): "PND Bank is the premier bank of Whittyre. Switch to their accounts today for a free camera, and the ability to avoid troublesome fees!"
AndrewRogue (5:40:18 AM): *she has no idea what the hell a camera is. but the key word their is account. That's the thing she needs so they can all pay. She looks for where said bank is in relation to her.*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:40:42 AM): Nothing appears on the map.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:41:06 AM): "Sign up today at any terminal. Would you like to switch to a PND Bank Account?"
AndrewRogue (5:41:17 AM): "Uhm... yes?"
Chromeus18 (5:41:49 AM): ($50 service fee OMG! ATMS ARE EVIL!)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:42:02 AM): "What is your current bank?"
AndrewRogue (5:42:23 AM): "I... don't have a current bank..."
AndrewRogue (5:42:39 AM): *she feels a little silly, talking to the terminal thing*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:43:02 AM): "Do you have a residence in Whittyre?"
AndrewRogue (5:43:18 AM): "No."
SirAlexTheFirst (5:43:51 AM): "Do you have a job in Whittyre?"
AndrewRogue (5:44:02 AM): "Uhm... no..."
SirAlexTheFirst (5:45:01 AM): "Do you have relatives who live in Whittyre?"
Chromeus18 (5:45:21 AM): (say yes :P)
AndrewRogue (5:45:23 AM): "No. I'm visiting."
SirAlexTheFirst (5:45:44 AM): "Are you planning to remain in Whittyre for more than one month?"
AndrewRogue (5:45:56 AM): "I... don't know."
SirAlexTheFirst (5:46:58 AM): "Are you planning to remain in Whittyre for more than one week?"
AndrewRogue (5:47:30 AM): (Infernal machine and stupid Whittyre people not taking cash...) "Yes! There's a good chance we could be here that long!"
SirAlexTheFirst (5:48:51 AM): "How much money would you like to deposit?"
AndrewRogue (5:49:47 AM): "Ah... how about..." *she does some odd finger calculations* "Five Hundred Dollars?"
SirAlexTheFirst (5:51:39 AM): "What is the name you would like this account to be registered to?"
AndrewRogue (5:51:49 AM): "Arianna."
SirAlexTheFirst (5:52:33 AM): "Please deposit your money in the slot below the terminal."
SirAlexTheFirst (5:53:17 AM): Sure enough, a slot below the terminal screen opens. A smaller slot opens as well, and ejects a card similar to the one the man in the restaurant used.
Chromeus18 (5:55:25 AM): (Jerri's gonna have some fun in Whittyre :P)
AndrewRogue (5:56:04 AM): "All... all right." *she counts out the appropriate amount of from her money-pouch and puts them in the slot*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:57:12 AM): "Thank you! You will recieve your free camera from PND Bank in four to six weeks."
Chromeus18 (5:57:31 AM): (how? :P)
Dark Japheth (5:58:37 AM): (Probably magic.)
AndrewRogue (5:58:44 AM): "Uhm... right. Of course." *she smiles in that 'this thing is crazy manner' as she takes the card-thing.*
Dark Japheth (5:58:48 AM): (In a world with magic, assume all unexplained things are due to magic)
Chromeus18 (5:59:10 AM): (of course)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:59:39 AM): It is a card, made of a tough but flexible material, with your picture on it and the words "PND Bank" on the reverse side.
AndrewRogue (6:00:19 AM): (Is it a good picture, or a crappy Drivers License picture?)
Chromeus18 (6:00:24 AM): (BIG BROTHER WATCHES US ALL!)
Dark Japheth (6:00:32 AM): (I'm going to make a PrC- Shopper of Whittyre)
SirAlexTheFirst (6:00:39 AM): A good picture, actually.
Dark Japheth (6:00:54 AM): (All gold pieces they find are automatically added to their "funds" and they can get free miles and shit and upgrade to better cards)
Dark Japheth (6:01:15 AM): (for example, Visa does 1d2 damage, but a Capital One no hassle card cannot be stolen or wielded by another, is masterwork, and does 1d6)
AndrewRogue (6:01:41 AM): *Aria looks at the card stragely before giving up and sliding it in her money pouch. If it pays...*
AndrewRogue (6:02:26 AM): *then she turns back to the map to find somewhere nice to eat for lunch*
Adm H Sopko (6:04:12 AM): ~Hey Aria, where are you?~
SirAlexTheFirst (6:04:24 AM): "John and Shannon's Gelendar Cuisine is a fine establishment bringing you the best of the best from our fine neighbors to the far north. They extend a welcome to the special investigation force here from Gelendar!"
AndrewRogue (6:05:15 AM): ~Mmm... I'm standing in front of the... the map things. Do you... do you want to get lunch Hunter?~
Adm H Sopko (6:05:54 AM): ~Hm. Sure. Sounds great. Where should I meet you?~
AndrewRogue (6:06:51 AM): *she looks at that last line curiously, vaguely wondering what and who they mean* ~How about this place called... mmm... 'John and Shannon's Gelendar Cuisine'?~
Adm H Sopko (6:07:27 AM): ~Alright. I'll be there in about five or ten minutes.~
AndrewRogue (6:08:13 AM): ~Thanks.~
Adm H Sopko (6:09:20 AM): ::Heads out from the hotel to a terminal to find out the location, then meets up with her:: "Hey."
AndrewRogue (6:10:33 AM): *assumedly she arrives relatively swiftly as well* "Hello."
Chromeus18 (6:11:33 AM): (i think Aurelia is gone, and Jerri is slipping..)
AndrewRogue (6:12:17 AM): (<_< Yeah. Feel free to cut whenever Alex. I'm just in that weird spot where I'm sleepy as hell, but I'm totally awake and don't want to sleep.)
Adm H Sopko (6:12:21 AM): ::He's taken off his traveler's cloak, since he really doesn't need it for this city:: "Umm... don't we need one of those account things?"
Adm H Sopko (6:12:33 AM): (I'm awake)
SirAlexTheFirst (6:12:43 AM): John and Shannon's is a surprisingly nice place, even though the atmosphere is half Whittyre and half fake tourist Gelendar, lots of paintings and flowers.
Dark Japheth (6:13:26 AM): (heh, like all the new york deli's)
AndrewRogue (6:13:27 AM): *she smiles weakly* "I... think I took care of it." *she extracts the card thing and holds it out* "I remembered before deciding to go somewhere.
Chromeus18 (6:13:27 AM): (if Jerri isn't gonna be around for awhile, i'm gonna dip out)
SirAlexTheFirst (6:14:18 AM): (Sleep well, then)
Adm H Sopko (6:14:44 AM): ::He chuckles:: "Alright then. Let's head in." ::Leads the way::
Dark Japheth (6:14:46 AM): (Sleep well, for tomorrow, we have breakfast in hell)
Chromeus18 (6:14:58 AM): (i'll keep chat open to read tomorrow night. g'nite folks.)
AndrewRogue (6:15:06 AM): (Nighty night)
AndrewRogue (6:15:54 AM): *she nods and follows, looking about at the aforementioned decor*
SirAlexTheFirst (6:17:20 AM): Kinda pretty, although not at all like home.
AndrewRogue (6:18:43 AM): *she sighs* "Its not really like Gelendar at all... but what can you expect." *she seems to be, at least for Aria, a bit listless*
Adm H Sopko (6:19:28 AM): "Yeah." ::He shrugs it off, looking for the mat're de::
SirAlexTheFirst (6:19:42 AM): There is none.
SirAlexTheFirst (6:19:56 AM): You order from the tables, like at Gwendolyn's.
Adm H Sopko (6:20:16 AM): ::He sits down at a nice table for two then::
AndrewRogue (6:20:53 AM): "I'm really starting to miss, you know, normal procedures..."
Adm H Sopko (6:21:19 AM): "Yeah... this country is a nice place... but the culture gap is far too great to be comfortable."
AndrewRogue (6:22:58 AM): "I suppose it... I suppose it would come from being isolated in the desert like this, right?" *she uses her tried and true random ordering technique*
Adm H Sopko (6:23:41 AM): ::Hunter looks around the menu, ordering something that he knows well, like steak and eggs::
Dark Japheth (6:24:10 AM): (And be back later)
(6:24:13 AM) Dark Japheth has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst (6:24:16 AM): Both of you wind up with steak and eggs. Huzzah.
Adm H Sopko (6:24:59 AM): ::Chuckles a bit::
AndrewRogue (6:25:32 AM): (We rock.) *she manages a weak smile as she picks idly at the food* "Luck choice. So... how did you spend your morning?"
Adm H Sopko (6:26:55 AM): "Eh. The National Labs... tried to find out some information. I got a lead, but mostly got stonewalled."
AndrewRogue (6:27:34 AM): "You were at the labs?"
Adm H Sopko (6:28:19 AM): "Yeah. Why?"
AndrewRogue (6:28:55 AM): "I was there too. The Church of Luthien told me Bandon had buisness there."
Adm H Sopko (6:30:19 AM): "Aha... what kind?"
Adm H Sopko (6:30:38 AM): "I saw him there too... but couldn't tell why he was there."
AndrewRogue (6:31:19 AM): "I... I guess he was talking to... ah... pilots."
Adm H Sopko (6:32:24 AM): "Pilots of what? Those... things?"
AndrewRogue (6:32:59 AM): "Metal... things. Big metal things. Marc called them Exosuits."
Adm H Sopko (6:33:30 AM): ::He nods:: "Hmm... well... you did hear Jerry, right?"
AndrewRogue (6:34:30 AM): "Could Verity really have been... could he have really been captured?"
Adm H Sopko (6:34:51 AM): "Yes. I saw it happen. I was watching on one of those monitors."
AndrewRogue (6:35:15 AM): "You watched it happen?"
Adm H Sopko (6:35:29 AM): "I also saw they were keeping watch over the Sithicus memorial, and some part of the desert when I passed by other rooms..."
Adm H Sopko (6:36:01 AM): "Yeah... I saw it... When they heard I knew about Verity, they took me in a room to watch."
AndrewRogue (6:36:59 AM): *she remains quiet for several moments* "Do you know what they're going to do with him?"
Adm H Sopko (6:37:56 AM): "Question him, it seems... maybe put him on trial too... but they really seem to want to know about how he got here, and the portal itself."
Adm H Sopko (6:38:14 AM): "It's exactly as the Marquis said, really."
AndrewRogue (6:40:21 AM): *she continues to eat unenthusiastically, actually looking to the menu-thing to see if there are any sweets* "Did you... did you find anything else out. They have such strange things here in Whittyre."
Adm H Sopko (6:41:36 AM): "Well... they questioned me a bit... they seem to think we're some sort of terrorists... not that I blame them, but they slipped a bit and asked one question out of place."
AndrewRogue (6:42:11 AM): "What?"
Adm H Sopko (6:42:42 AM): "After some hard grilling about things, they asked if we had even been in contact with any member of the Whittyre Council..."
SirAlexTheFirst (6:43:14 AM): There are several sweets. Ordering any?
Adm H Sopko (6:43:34 AM): ::Finishes his steak and eggs, very satisfied::
AndrewRogue (6:44:00 AM): *she'll pick out something akin to choclate cake or such* "Why would they ask that?"
Adm H Sopko (6:44:37 AM): "I don't know... The Yarovan just signed the first ever trade agreement with Whittyre, so that might have been it... or else, they suspect someone on the council of something."
AndrewRogue (6:46:01 AM): "Yaravon did?"
Adm H Sopko (6:46:44 AM): "Yeah. I'm pretty surprised. I was aware of the project, but I always doubted anyone would be able to get Whittyre to agree."
AndrewRogue (6:48:00 AM): "So... you think they believe one of the council members is bringing in terrorists?"
Adm H Sopko (6:48:58 AM): "Thats one possibility. We'll just have to do some looking into it..." ::It hits him, and he bites his lip:: "Umm... that is... if you've decided to stay..."
AndrewRogue (6:50:51 AM): *she gives her best reassuring smile to Hunter* "You should already know my answer Hunter."
Adm H Sopko (6:51:28 AM): ::His look softens, and he smiles a bit:: "Alright... but I also want to apologize to you..."
AndrewRogue (6:52:41 AM): "For what?" *presuming she actually recieved her sweet, she eats it quietly*
SirAlexTheFirst (6:52:51 AM): Yes, yes you did
AndrewRogue (6:53:06 AM): (Yay!)
Adm H Sopko (6:53:59 AM): "While I was retelling the story to the Lab people... I realized something... that I was treating you as a sort of worst-case scenario... as a fallback just in case Leatanna rejected me. It was a terrible
Adm H Sopko (6:54:50 AM): thing to do... and... I don't want to do that to you. I want to give you your equal shot... if you still feel that way..."
AndrewRogue (6:55:08 AM): (...ow)
Adm H Sopko (6:55:56 AM): (He's honest to a fault sometimes...)
AndrewRogue (6:57:08 AM): *Aria is silent for a long moment*
Adm H Sopko (6:57:36 AM): ::He looks down in honest shame::
AndrewRogue (7:00:49 AM): ".........I do love you, just like I love Bandon... and Jerri... and my parents..."
Adm H Sopko (7:01:21 AM): (Thats not what I meant, Justin...)
SirAlexTheFirst (7:02:02 AM): (Everyone loves you, Feena!)
SirAlexTheFirst (7:02:33 AM): (And Aria loves Bandon in the same way she loves her parents? That's.... interesting.)
AndrewRogue (7:03:11 AM): (Wha...? She hasn't figured out how to differentiate love and love :p) "...maybe...maybe... I love you more..."
Adm H Sopko (7:04:59 AM): ::He looks up a bit, a faint smile returning:: "I see..." ::He looks to her:: "I'm glad."
AndrewRogue (7:07:13 AM): "That's why I'm still here..." *she tears up in that pathetic manner* "I'm happy... to know that. I... I don't know." *she wipes her eyes embarassedly* "I...
AndrewRogue (7:07:26 AM): I don't know." *she repeats a bit unsteadily* "Bandon is done with us."
Adm H Sopko (7:08:33 AM): "He is?" ::He hardly looks surprised. Mentally, he's doing happy backflips, but he does his best to hide it:: "I can't say I'm surprised... given this morning..."
AndrewRogue (7:09:23 AM): ('tis an inner Hunter moment.)
AndrewRogue (7:10:27 AM): "I... I know. It... it isn't good for him to come with us anyway." *she sure sounds convincing*
Adm H Sopko (7:11:59 AM): ::He nods:: "I suppose. It's his choice alone..."
AndrewRogue (7:13:26 AM): *she offers him the remaining half of her cake* "Do you want it?"
Adm H Sopko (7:13:57 AM): ::He smiles to her:: "Sure. Thank you." ::He digs in::
Adm H Sopko (7:15:38 AM): "It's good..."
AndrewRogue (7:16:05 AM): *she smiles weakly* "Mom's is better."
Adm H Sopko (7:16:42 AM): ::He laughs a bit:: "Of course"
AndrewRogue (7:17:43 AM): "Should we pay and find something more constructive to do with our time?"
Adm H Sopko (7:20:32 AM): ::He shrugs:: "Sure... but I'm willing to bet Jerri is on his way here... so lets be quick about it."
AndrewRogue (7:21:33 AM): *she nods* "But Hunter... what can we do?" *she pulls out the card to see if she can do this paying thing*
SirAlexTheFirst (7:22:20 AM): It works just fine when you touch it to the table, which changes to say "Payment recieved (Arianna)".
Adm H Sopko (7:22:24 AM): "We can always check out the latest news pertaining to either the council, or the Yarovan deal."
AndrewRogue (7:22:59 AM): "That sounds fine. Where do we look?"
Adm H Sopko (7:24:16 AM): "You can get the news on those map terminals. We have them in our rooms."
AndrewRogue (7:24:25 AM): "We do?"
AndrewRogue (7:24:39 AM): *she looks a little startled to have not noticed*
Adm H Sopko (7:24:47 AM): "Yeah... I found one while looking around this morning... you probably have one too... on the shelves"
Adm H Sopko (7:24:58 AM): "It's smaller though."
AndrewRogue (7:25:52 AM): "Well then, why don't we take a look. We can meet Jerri once he arrives."
Adm H Sopko (7:26:22 AM): "Sounds good." ::He gets up and stretches a bit::
AndrewRogue (7:27:39 AM): *she slides the card back into her bad as she stands* "And Hunter... thank you for everything." *And they leave?*
SirAlexTheFirst (7:28:13 AM): Sure
Adm H Sopko (7:28:50 AM): ::He shakes his head:: "No... it's nothing... I really haven't done anything... but thank you too, I guess... for staying. And forgiving me"
AndrewRogue (7:29:37 AM): (Aww... how sweet.)
Adm H Sopko (7:30:06 AM): (Everyone loves you, Feena!)
AndrewRogue (7:30:40 AM): (*tries to remember where Feena is from*)
Adm H Sopko (7:30:48 AM): (Grandia)
AndrewRogue (7:31:07 AM): (Ah... that explains my inability.)
AndrewRogue (7:31:59 AM): (So... to the church-hotel or what?)
Adm H Sopko (7:32:17 AM): church-hotel it is, unless we're stopped on the way
SirAlexTheFirst (7:32:21 AM): I'd think y'all are heading back on over there
SirAlexTheFirst (7:33:13 AM): And I think we're done
AndrewRogue (7:33:26 AM): Heh... its... early.
AndrewRogue (7:33:38 AM): <_<
SirAlexTheFirst (7:33:45 AM): Comments/questions welcome as always.
AndrewRogue (7:34:51 AM): I think it 'twas fun. I'm still trying to work around Whittyre's tech level in my head.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:35:00 AM): The past two nights have not been good for me to run game. Got dragged into it last night and shouldn't have tried tonight.
Adm H Sopko (7:35:32 AM): It was alright tonight
SirAlexTheFirst (7:36:14 AM): Certain player fiascos have not improved my mood either. I apologize for that.
AndrewRogue (7:36:29 AM): It happens to all of us Alex ^_^
SirAlexTheFirst (7:37:04 AM): I feel like a parent.
AndrewRogue (7:37:06 AM): Seriously though, take my advice and just tell people no if you don't want to run. Hell, tell me no and I'll find an excuse not to be around :p
SirAlexTheFirst (7:37:28 AM): When the kids start misbehaving, you always wonder if it's their fault or yours, and whether you should chastise them or not
AndrewRogue (7:38:15 AM): *shrugs helplessly* Can't tell you that without knowing the case.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:38:25 AM): There's utterly nothing wrong at all with asking early in a night if I would like to run game.
Adm H Sopko (7:38:37 AM): Ditto... and if I'm one of the fiascos, I apologize
SirAlexTheFirst (7:39:29 AM): Nah
Adm H Sopko (7:39:44 AM): K
SirAlexTheFirst (7:39:48 AM): And again with everyone hanging around in the chat I wonder if I should say anything
SirAlexTheFirst (7:40:05 AM): That's always another dilemma, do you tell people that they're being annoying, or not?
AndrewRogue (7:40:16 AM): Er... define early for you Alex. You early is very different from me early ^_^
SirAlexTheFirst (7:40:36 AM): "Early" is anything before, oh, 11 PM for me or so.
Adm H Sopko (7:41:06 AM): I'd always rather be told I'm annoying, so I can stop
AndrewRogue (7:41:18 AM): Which equates nicely to early for me. Yay. And as far as annoyance stuff... its prolly better to deal with it directly and personally.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:41:56 AM): That's true.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:42:08 AM): Some people get really snippy when you do that though.
AndrewRogue (7:42:52 AM): Indeed. Typically I subtly hint to them.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:43:54 AM): As far as the big things which have actually been annoying - Don't have a chat made and expect me to run game when I haven't even been on AIM an entire evening.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:44:12 AM): Don'
SirAlexTheFirst (7:44:36 AM): t complain about my speed of thought when that does happen.
AndrewRogue (7:45:40 AM): I'm too lazy to make chats, and I surf the net when game slows :p
SirAlexTheFirst (7:46:23 AM): If you're going to up and leave in the middle of game, first, don't, unless it's vitally important, and if you have to, tell someone (preferably me) THAT you are leaving and WHY you are leaving and WHEN if at all you will be back.
AndrewRogue (7:47:51 AM): *writes up an Off-Game Pass*
SirAlexTheFirst (7:47:57 AM): Concurrently with that, people initiating game or requests for game logically have something of a greater responsibility to actually be there and try to make game fun.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:48:43 AM): aka, if you ask for game, then you'd best be present and able to do game.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:50:46 AM): Also, when people are split up in-game, you have to take turns. Simple kindergarten etiquette for taking turns states that when it is not your turn, wait patiently.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:52:00 AM): Don't whine about how much you want to play and don't interrupt other people's turns by constantly talking about what your character is doing. Do that on your turn.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:52:35 AM): Am I making any sense at all here, or is this unrealistic and crazy?
AndrewRogue (7:52:42 AM): Naaaaaaaaw.
AndrewRogue (7:53:10 AM): 'tis sensible. I'm sorry. <_<
Adm H Sopko (7:54:16 AM): We do that last thing occasionally...
Adm H Sopko (7:54:27 AM): Maybe not the whining...
Adm H Sopko (7:55:05 AM): But we do chime in with a one line reminder of where are characters arwe
SirAlexTheFirst (7:55:24 AM): If there's an actual need to establish what your character is doing at a certain moment in time, like if there's circlets about to go on or something, then that's cool. If not, though, there's no reason for it.
AndrewRogue (7:55:40 AM): Yep. I have a bad habit of OOC interruptions that I need to kick.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:56:05 AM): It's just an attention grabber "Hey, MY character is doing this, look here!" that detracts from what the people in the camera are doing.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:56:11 AM): That's my feeling on it anyways.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:57:04 AM): If you've ever seen that D&D skit thing with the Mountain Dew, it's like that guy at the bar getting drunk.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:57:13 AM): And so I will respond to it.
Adm H Sopko (7:57:19 AM): Yeah
AndrewRogue (7:59:27 AM): Indeed. We're almost together again ^_^
SirAlexTheFirst (7:59:28 AM): That's about it.
SirAlexTheFirst (7:59:46 AM): Actually at this rate Bandon is going to not come back to the main party at all.
Adm H Sopko (7:59:51 AM): Hee hee
AndrewRogue (8:00:09 AM): I've been expecting such.
AndrewRogue (8:00:55 AM): And now I have this bizarre image of Inner Hunter stuck in my head O_O
Adm H Sopko (8:01:06 AM): Heh!
SirAlexTheFirst (8:01:08 AM): Inner Hunter?
SirAlexTheFirst (8:01:11 AM): Oh dear.
Adm H Sopko (8:01:29 AM): Like Inner Sakura, only Hunter-ized
SirAlexTheFirst (8:01:32 AM): Hunter needs to stop chasing skirts and decide who he actually wants. :P
Adm H Sopko (8:01:50 AM): Adm H Sopko (7:18:28 AM): "He is?" ::He hardly looks surprised. Mentally, he's doing happy backflips, but he does his best to hide it:: "I can't say I'm surprised... given this morning..."
Adm H Sopko (8:02:08 AM): ::Smacks Alex:: Thats what he's doing
SirAlexTheFirst (8:02:17 AM): Indeed.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:02:23 AM): Lea will be disappointed.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:02:26 AM): So will Alice.
AndrewRogue (8:02:32 AM): And Kate.
Adm H Sopko (8:02:33 AM): He hasn't chosen anyone
SirAlexTheFirst (8:02:34 AM): And Squeeze Toy.
Adm H Sopko (8:02:47 AM): He's just now giving them all an equal chance
AndrewRogue (8:02:53 AM): Hunter will make many people sad :[
SirAlexTheFirst (8:03:16 AM): So... he's undeciding and unfocusing his attentions.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:04:23 AM): Everything spreads so fast nowadays.
Adm H Sopko (8:04:33 AM): ::Sighs:: I guess you just don't understand
SirAlexTheFirst (8:04:50 AM): We'll see what happend.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:04:52 AM): *happens
AndrewRogue (8:05:48 AM): WHOAH. Freya did over a million damage O_O
SirAlexTheFirst (8:05:59 AM): That'll happen.
Adm H Sopko (8:06:03 AM): And jeez... Hunter is a right little harem anime star
Adm H Sopko (8:06:23 AM): Lea, Aria, Kate... Though, Alice isn't an admirer yet
AndrewRogue (8:06:25 AM): Ahhhh, AND's turning into a mech harem show O_O
SirAlexTheFirst (8:06:26 AM): There's a reason she's top tier Godlike in the DL
Adm H Sopko (8:06:42 AM): Bandon would freak I bet, if Alice fancied Hunter
Adm H Sopko (8:06:58 AM): Or even better, Luthien came down and hit on Hunter. Tee hee
SirAlexTheFirst (8:07:07 AM): ......... she would, too.
AndrewRogue (8:07:23 AM): You, Alex and Kirk... whever you say Tee Hee I can only imagine evil thoughts.
Adm H Sopko (8:07:48 AM): What faith would Bandon have left, if Luthien hit on Hunter?<G>
SirAlexTheFirst (8:07:52 AM): Actually, tee hee started with Rachel.
Adm H Sopko (8:08:18 AM): Bandon: "My god has forsaken me..."
SirAlexTheFirst (8:08:25 AM): Then Katie picked it up, then I picked it up. Kirk uses it to mock how I use it.
Adm H Sopko (8:08:35 AM): I've always used it...
SirAlexTheFirst (8:09:00 AM): Bandon would have lots of faith left.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:09:13 AM): Luthien hits on lots of people.
Adm H Sopko (8:09:34 AM): I know. But bah, you take all the fun out of it
AndrewRogue (8:09:43 AM): *chuckles*
SirAlexTheFirst (8:09:49 AM): No, it's still pretty funny actually.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:10:21 AM): I'm not making that up either. Back in Gorth-canon she was married to Karnage, Gabriel, and Tiyreal at various times.
Adm H Sopko (8:10:33 AM): I remember
AndrewRogue (8:10:41 AM): Sluuuuut <_<
Adm H Sopko (8:10:43 AM): It's in the world doc
SirAlexTheFirst (8:11:00 AM): And she hit on Nellix, which was kind of hilarious given the message she was trying to tell him at the same time.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:11:27 AM): Though sort of not, since I guess that was her other motive for speaking to him.
AndrewRogue (8:11:45 AM): But I need to sleep...
Adm H Sopko (8:12:11 AM): We'll see. It's like the AND dating sim!
AndrewRogue (8:12:16 AM): So... thanks for game Alex ^_^ I'm not used to going to bed as the sun rises :p
Adm H Sopko (8:12:18 AM): AND takes a shoujo turn
AndrewRogue (8:12:23 AM): And XD
SirAlexTheFirst (8:12:49 AM): *Luthien appears, naked, in a bed* "Nellix! Karnage is bringing the apocalypse, with four horsemen of great evil who will bring pain and slaughter!"
SirAlexTheFirst (8:12:57 AM): *mental pictures of pain and slaughter*
AndrewRogue (8:13:13 AM): Well... it could have been worse Alex <_<
SirAlexTheFirst (8:13:19 AM): *fade back to Luthien* "Anyways, you're sad and you need a goddess to serve. Cmere and gimme some sugar."
AndrewRogue (8:13:35 AM): *chuckles*
Adm H Sopko (8:13:53 AM): We'll see what happens<G>
SirAlexTheFirst (8:14:04 AM): Nellix: "Dot dot dot."
AndrewRogue (8:14:15 AM): XXXD
SirAlexTheFirst (8:14:53 AM): Get used to going to bed as the sun rises, pretty soon we won't have much choice.
Adm H Sopko (8:15:03 AM): Sounds fine
AndrewRogue (8:15:24 AM): Heh ^_^ I'll adjust. So far all my classes are in the afternoon anyway.
AndrewRogue (8:16:04 AM): But for now... I'd like to claim a few hours of sleepiness. Night and thanks for hanging around and putting up with my crappy spotlight hogging ^_^
SirAlexTheFirst (8:16:20 AM): Good night.
Adm H Sopko (8:16:24 AM): Stop apologizing
Adm H Sopko (8:16:28 AM): You're not a spotlight hog
SirAlexTheFirst (8:16:36 AM): And Soppy is right
Adm H Sopko (8:16:41 AM): It goes where it goes
AndrewRogue (8:16:52 AM): Pah. ^_^
Adm H Sopko (8:17:18 AM): Ironically, now the parties eerily mirror one another
AndrewRogue (8:17:27 AM): Krah?
Adm H Sopko (8:17:37 AM): Hunter/Aria/Jerri, Verity/Aurelia/Karn
AndrewRogue (8:17:50 AM): HAH!
AndrewRogue (8:18:34 AM): That is pretty amusing actually. But mrr... I'm putting off necessity.
Adm H Sopko (8:18:40 AM): Heh. Later
AndrewRogue (8:18:50 AM): Sleep to claim, have a fun eve/mornign/aft!
Adm H Sopko (8:19:03 AM): Your opinion of the mirrorness, Alex?<G>
(8:19:13 AM) AndrewRogue has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:20:51 AM): Hm.
SirAlexTheFirst (8:20:57 AM): Not really.
Adm H Sopko (8:21:31 AM): It's just like looking at a darker reflection
SirAlexTheFirst (8:21:37 AM): The actual parties are Jerri/Karn/Aurelia and Hunter/Aria, Bandon, Verity.
Adm H Sopko (8:21:46 AM): ...
Adm H Sopko (8:21:50 AM): Thats not what I mean...
SirAlexTheFirst (8:21:52 AM): Even taking your view, you left out Bandon
Adm H Sopko (8:22:21 AM): ::Sighs:: Nevermind
SirAlexTheFirst (8:22:50 AM): I don't get how they're similar.
Adm H Sopko (8:23:08 AM): the leader, the woman, and their dwarven companion
SirAlexTheFirst (8:24:14 AM): Mm.
Adm H Sopko (8:24:29 AM): It's just mildly amusing to me
SirAlexTheFirst (8:24:35 AM): You still left out Bandon.... and Hunter and Verity aren't exactly leaders anymore...
Adm H Sopko (8:25:00 AM): Bandon is gone
Adm H Sopko (8:25:03 AM): He left
Adm H Sopko (8:25:05 AM): Out
Adm H Sopko (8:25:09 AM): Finito
Adm H Sopko (8:25:15 AM): At least, for now
Adm H Sopko (8:25:28 AM): No telling if he'll be forced back in for whatever reason.
Adm H Sopko (8:26:15 AM): But I'll rephrase it then. The man, his interest, and their stumpy companion
SirAlexTheFirst (8:28:02 AM): True
Adm H Sopko (8:28:39 AM): One is just a darker version of the other
SirAlexTheFirst (8:29:04 AM): Ah yes
SirAlexTheFirst (8:29:08 AM): But which one is which?
Adm H Sopko (8:29:14 AM): Mwhaha
Adm H Sopko (8:29:33 AM): Obviously Hunter is the evil terrorist, and Verity is the saint
Adm H Sopko (8:30:24 AM): Aria is the lustful whore, and Aurelia the sanctful virgin
Adm H Sopko (8:31:00 AM): And Jerri is the bloodthirsty dwarf, while Karn wants to mine for gold as a stereotypical dwarf
SirAlexTheFirst (8:31:16 AM): Indeed.
Adm H Sopko (8:32:11 AM): Ah well. Me need sleep too. Later. Hope Hunter has been improving for you
(8:33:12 AM) Adm H Sopko has left the room.
