[Gem Flower]

Kami undeadtimes and wanders.

[Volug]

Repost to here as well.


Also, if anyone doesn't mind, I'd like to work on a re-design of our first post on the topic. Just to make it... Nicer, or whatever else just to make it better.

Sadly, not including a banner, maybe someone else can help with that, I'll ask.

To elaborate, I'm just going to try to make the title a bit nicer looking. This doesn't include banner as I said, though I will try to ask around.

If it works, I'll notify every active poster I have seen in HALO and ask them if they wish to be on it.

[SeptAngel]

Aramir purrs and nuzzles her hand, before he begins eating.

She smiles and grabs something to drink.

[Kyrian]

((I'd like Aramir to be in it at least))

Aramir makes very sure to clean the plate, including licking it clean.

[SeptAngel]

((Wouldn't mind Sept being on it.))

Once he's done and she's sure he isn't going to eat the plate, she goes to put it in the sink.

[Kyrian]

Once Sept picks the plate up, Aramir playfully bites on the other end, and gives a small pull.

[SeptAngel]

She holds tight with both hands, laughing. Hey! You can't eat it.

[Kyrian]

Aramir's tail whips around as he gives another playful tug.

[SeptAngel]

The playfully swings a wing around to try and tickle his nose with a feather.

[DoomITP]

Grant walks into the kitchen.

[Kyrian]

Aramir is forced to release the plate, and gives a cat sneeze. He watches her with amusement in his eyes.

[SeptAngel]

She goes to pat him on the head. I needed some entertainment.

[Kyrian]

Sept is rewarded with more purring. And a panther nuzzling her hand before going to nuzzle her leg.

[SeptAngel]

Sept nods to Grant with a smile before turning her attention back to the demanding panther. She makes sure to get that spot around his ears a good scratch.

[Kyrian]

Oh, and Aramir is quite content. Seems like Sept has made a new friend. Demanding, yes, but can be quite loyal too.

[SeptAngel]

She needs a new friend right about now. With everything with Tobias, something cuddly is what she needs. She finds a chair to sit in to continue the petting.

[Kyrian]

Aramir follows her over, and will lay his head in her lap if she doesn't mind.

[SeptAngel]

She doesn't seem to mind, just looks a little tired. She is still healing after everything. Nonetheless, she continues her petting. You belong to anyone, cutie? Or just belong to everyone?

[DoomITP]

Grant sits down nearby looking tired.


Hello Sept, seems that you have made a friend.

[SeptAngel]

She nods with a smile. I did. Though, I think it's just because I fed him. She giggles a little. You alright?

[Kyrian]

Aramir just purrs and settles there. If Sept tires of petting him, he'll happily curl up at her feet. Being a big panther, he thinks it might be too much if he curled up in her lap.

[SeptAngel]

Sept wiggles her toes a bit as he lays on her feet but settles back happily.

[DoomITP]

Just something that can be called heartache. Either that or I'm really tired.


He laughed.

[SeptAngel]

Unfortunately, one's easier to solve than the other.

[DoomITP]

Either way I want whatever it is to end.

[SeptAngel]

Understandable. She nods. I'm sure things will get better.

[DoomITP]

That is true.

[SeptAngel]

I always have to believe that things will get better. She half smiles.

[DoomITP]

Why? You seem to be doing okay in this life.

[SeptAngel]

Things have gotten better. Well, the thing with Tobias doesn't count now.

[DoomITP]

I feel bad that he treated you in a cruel manner.

[SeptAngel]

Not your fault. I'm just hoping that he returns to normal soon.

[DoomITP]

His I am the world's only hope act is rather annoying to me.

[SeptAngel]

Depends on who he's saying it to. When Tobias does it, it's not so bad.

[FireFox]

Exactly. The genius himself strolls on in and looks at Sept and Grant. You can always count on me to do the smart thing. Like this, for example. He crumples up and falls to the floor, his eyes rolling into the back of his head.

[SeptAngel]

Sept jumps up and rushes over to him. Toby!

[FireFox]

He stirs slightly, and twitches as his brain comes back online, so to speak. Finally, his eyelids flutter open and he slowly focuses on her.

[SeptAngel]

He'll see a few tears starting down her newly scarred face. Not all of them healed and there is on large one down her forehead. Is it you this time?

[FireFox]

Sept!? You... you're... I thought... His eyes widen and he tries to sit up. The note...

[The Bushranger]

Patty seems to have dozed off in the Strategy Room, her head resting on her arms.

[SeptAngel]

She tries to help him up. I thought they would have just killed me off. They dumped me here a few days ago, barely alive. Everyone got me better, even this spirit. I'm so sorry.

[FireFox]

Matt finally leans back and rubs his eyes, mumbling to himself. When he notices Patty he gets up and moves towards her, torn between being nice and being mischievous.


He gets up and immediately tries to hug her. I thought... I thought I had lost another one...

[SeptAngel]

She hugs him back tightly. You aren't losing me. I just didn't want something to happen to me without you knowing...

[The Bushranger]

Patty, snoozing, is blisfully unaware and undefended!

[FireFox]

I could feel myself falling... He shakes his head and tries to kiss her on the cheek. I'm glad you're all right.


Matt considers cutting off her holy symbol, but ends up just leaving her be.

[SeptAngel]

She sighs softly and leans against him. And I'm glad to have you back to you. She seems a little worn out from the day, not being fully back to her full health just yet.

[The Bushranger]

Patty actually looks rather sweet when she's asleep...
She looks like she's dreaming, too, a smile on her face.


BR, meanwhile, is approaching the kitchen, the sound of boots audible in the hallways.

[FireFox]

Tobias holds her securely and starts stroking her wings gently. What? What are you talking about? He doesn't know the significance of the boots.


Matt considers her for awhile, then takes out his datapad, turns on the camera function, and takes a silent picture of her befor epocketing it and seeing if he can lift her without waking her.

[SeptAngel]

She looks unsure of how to explain. Black Fox... She hopes that will explain it all.

[FireFox]

Oh. Ohhhh... Oh... He sighs and lets go of her reluctantly, stepping away so he can look at her in the eyes. His back is to the door. Yeah... He would have taken over I guess...

[The Bushranger]

Patty comes half-awake for a few moments, but only enough to murmur something in which Matt's name is pretty much the only thing distinguishable, and to wrap her arms around his neck before dozing back off against his shoudler. Awww...


BR now enters the kitchen, and heads straight for the coffeepot.

[SeptAngel]

Her bright blue eyes search his. He's not my favorite part of you. She's a bit lighthearted. Seeing BR, she nods his way.

[FireFox]

The battlehardened young freedom fighter's heart softens, again, and he takes Patty to her room, setting her down gently on the bed. Of course, with her arms wrapped around him, he has to lie down too.


Tobias shrugs and waves to BR. We do what we can, because we must.

[The Bushranger]

Of course he does. And the raven-haired young woman wastes no time in snuggling as close to Matt as she can in her sleep, her head tucked under his chin and generally the picture of adorable contentment.




BR, meanwhile, nods to Sept and gives Tobias a glare. I hope you've apologised...

[SeptAngel]

I know... Plus, she's too tired to argue. I'm heading to bed, I feel like I'm going to pass out here. She does look a little pale while she goes to softly kiss him. Join me later if you want. She smiles and heads to her room.

((Might be on occasionally the next few days. Gotta do massive cleaning of the house and stuffs.))

[FireFox]

Matt's hands stay around her, and slowly rub her back as she sleeps.


Get some rest Sept... He smiles and watches her leave before turning around to look at BR. Oh yeah, I told her I was sorry that I let you get me drunk and take advantage of me.

((Okay, bye!))

[The Bushranger]

BR looks like he wants to smack Tobias right then and there, but restrains himself.
Not about that, you jackass. I meant the way you acted about her the last few days when she laid in there at the very brink of death and you were all I've better things to do! he roars, furious. Madder than Tobias has ever seen him, in point of fact.

[FireFox]

Tobias sobers up, and considers what BR said seriously before speaking. I don't think you are aware of my other personality, my emergency failsafe that was what earned me the reputation as the Black Fox in the first place. You don't think I could have actually killed as many innocents as I have the way I am now, do you? That would have torn me up inside. The Black Fox persona is an evil bastard who I use when acting evil would help me win.

[The Bushranger]

BR eyes Tobias for a minute, seeming to be judging his sincerity.
And then nods, once, sharply.
I suppose I can understand that. It doesn't excuse it, but, I'll let it pass. This time, anyway. He sighs, and looks down into his mug of coffee, clearly thinking of something that upsets him.

[Lupy]

((I apologize VERY much for disappearing FF, I had a bunch of stuff come up in a row, it was certainly not intentional. :smallredface: ))

I wanted to talk to you about joining this HALO.

[FireFox]

I'm so glad you accept me. There's only the slightest trace of sarcasm there. What else is on your mind? Your neice? Your niece boffing my son? 'Cuz that's all that's on my mind now.


((Sho' thing Lupster))

Previously:

Okay, fine with me.

[Lupy]

That is it? I do not even know you, Black Fox, yet you would accept me into an Organization devoted to the defense of the Universe without question?

[The Bushranger]

BR rolls his eyes. I'd say thanks for that mental image, but I can easily replace it with thoughts of your sister. So there.

He nods at Lupy and sips his coffee.

[Lupy]

Lupy's selective hearing is serving him well here.

He nods back to BR. The fact his mitre is a solid diamond ((to protect him from that big bad evil ocean :smalltongue:)) makes this rather difficult on the neck...

[FireFox]

Previously: I do know you Archbishop, and I have no reason why I wouldn't want you to join. Well okay, there is the matter of you befriending every psycho in Town...


Tobias snickers. Uhuh, fascinating. Shame she likes Dani more. He's actually being sincere, though it doesn't seem like it; he'd rather his sister marry BR. For some reason. Really, it's bothering me too. We need to do something about it.

[Lupy]

I am most confused, I was under the impression that you had donned a persona of sorts with which I was not familiar? :smallconfused: Very well then. I understand there is a Lich at large?

The Baron did save me when my divine field gave out and the rest of you sat around watching the show though. :smallwink:

[FireFox]

Previously: You've seen this persona once or twice. Correct. I am still gathering Intel, but I will create a plan to bring HALO's full might, including you now, to bear against this menace. Hmm... Was this before or after you attacked me and your "loyal bodygaurd" stabbed you through the neck? :smallamused:

[Lupy]

Oh, I think just a month or so before I killed you and your wife for being so rude to our dear Baron... The lack of manners merely annoyed me, but when the swords came out? Truely shameful behaviour; couldn't let it slide.

((Yes, the Baron killed Ori. He kill-stole though.))

[The Bushranger]

BR eyes Tobias for a moment, then shrugs. Meh. They're old enough to make their own decisions. He chuckles and rinses his coffee mug, before heading off in the direction of the Lair.

[FireFox]

Previously: The Black Fox chuckles, not unkindly. Come on Archbishop, you have to admit that that was the perfect plant. Not as good as some other I've done, but beautiful nonetheless.

Now: Tobias shakes his head. He's only sixteen, and he just came off a bad relationship. Come on BR, he's got enough on his mind without her to confuse him. They don't need to be having sex.

[Lupy]

Yes, the first thing I thought when my most trusted friend was stabbing me in between the shoulder blades and my gift made him untouchable was certainly... Well, honestly, it was surprise. It was a cunning "plant" though.

[FireFox]

Previously: The Black Fox smiles. And then Continuity snaps back together and there's just the regular Tobias talking with BR in the kitchen!

[Lupy]

Lupy is unphased. He's used to dealing with Gods with far odder ways of doing things. He looks around the living room for a photo album. He may not know how cameras work, but he does know how to figure out who's who.

[DoomITP]

Grant has been sitting in the kitchen the whole time. He looks like he wants to add something but wants Tobias's permission to talk.

[Lupy]

Lupy gives up on looking for, as he calls them, marvelous portraits, and heads for the kitchens. He hardly cringes at the sight of the sea this time.

[Lupy]

Hello...?

He says to Grant.

[FireFox]

Tobias doesn't seem to care, or really notice Grant much.

[The Bushranger]

BR, meanwhile, returns from the Lair.
He's toting that 144-ounce XTREEME MUG!

It's empty.


He intends for that state to be alterered very soon.

[Lupy]

Tobias. I want to tell that my powers are limited under the sea, but that I am more prepared now for anything you may have planned than I have ever been.

Now I am done.

[FireFox]

Come on BR, don't you find it... off-putting at all? Tobias turns to Lupy. Alright, thanks. I'll keep you in the loop, once I come up with a plan that is.

[Quinsar]

Nathan is around.



Spider is aroud.


Cruik is walking into the kitchen, hand still bandaged.

[Lupy]

Thank you.

He produces a book, looks at Grant, and then begins reading it while sitting in the most uncomfortable chair in the room. Preferably one with one of those completely straight backs.

Everything all right, Cruik?

[Quinsar]

Yeah, I'm fine...

[The Bushranger]

BR shakes his head at Tobias. Honestly? For all how things are Matt's a good kid. And that wild niece of mine needs somebody to look out for her, heavens know she's not going to look out for herself.

The mug starts getting filled.

[Lupy]

Let me take a look at that hand, I'm sure I can fix it up.

[Quinsar]

...
No thank you, the hand's fine.

[Lupy]

Are you certain? I've been fixing people since before you were born, don't be worried.

[FireFox]

Yeah yeah, whatever. He smiles, then turns around and sees Cruik. Hey, kiddo, are you all right?


Matt meanwhile, has kicked off his boots and has long since fallen asleep holding Patty.

[Quinsar]

N-...
Then he looks to his dad, quick.
I'm fine dad.

[Volug]

Kiba undeadtimes.

He walks through his family's demi-plane portal into HALO.

[Lupy]

Lupy frowns at that. He sees a pattern emerging here.

... Very well then.

To Tobias, who knows him well, the tone may suggest that things are not "very well."

((But it's my curfew and I have to go. Night guys, and... Deadtime.))

[FireFox]

... If you say so, son... Tobias nods to Lupy, then kneels down closer to Cruik. What happened anyways?

[The Bushranger]

BR grins and, his mug fills, raises it in salute. You go keep Sept warm, Toby. Smiling a little, he returns to the Lair.

[Quinsar]

I cut my palm cooking...
Even though the blood doesn't show that... It's on the majority of the bandages. Top and bottom of his hand.

[FireFox]

You go keep your picture of my sister warm, creep. Tobias smiles back, then turns his full attention to Cruik. Tell me what really happened, please...

[Quinsar]

Nothing, just...
You know how Jester corrupted my DNA, right?

[FireFox]

Tobias' face pales slightly, and he frowns. I had always suspected something like that...

[Quinsar]

It's just a side effect of that...
He says with a sigh and a frown. He looks... Disappointed.
Disappointed in himself.

[FireFox]

Tobias frowns again, and tries to pull him into a hug. So you just bleed...?

[Quinsar]

No...
He hugs his father back.
My bone kinda spikes out of my flesh...

[FireFox]

Ouch... I'm sorry, kiddo... Really sorry...

[Quinsar]

It's not your fault, dad . . .

[FireFox]

Maybe not that, but... He trails off and sighs before letting go.

[Quinsar]

Cruik remains silent, staring at his feet.

[FireFox]

Cruik, if you need anything, anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me, or Matt if I'm not around. All right?

[Quinsar]

Okay dad.
I will.

[FireFox]

He tries to hug him again. I love you, son...

[Quinsar]

I love you too, dad.

[FireFox]

Tobias smiles, pats Cruik on the head, then goes off to Sept's room to rest.


Matt is smiling contentedly, fast asleep and cuddling against Patty. Both of them are more or less fully clothed to boot.

[Quinsar]

Cruik smiles a bit, then heads back to his mom's old room.

[Falgorn]

Aww! Touching family moments make me happy!

Howl's sleeping in his room, for lack of better places to be.

[The Librarian]

Lowan is in the Living Room meditating. Vallasito is in the kitchen sipping some tea.Starly is also in the Living room but is sleeping currently. Anyone on may contact any of the available characters.

[Quinsar]

Cruik is in the THAT room, sitting downl.
He looks a bit pale.
He's gripping his arm, which is shaking a bit.

[Falgorn]

Fernando walks into THAT room. Hey, Cruik.
You okay? He asks, sitting down across from him.

[Quinsar]

F-Fine...
He whimpers, obviously not.

[Falgorn]

What's wrong, Cruik? This question is asked a little more big-brotherly, stern yet caring.

[Quinsar]

S-Sholder...
There's a large bump on his sholder.
It's getting bigger, too.

[Falgorn]

Fernando raises an eyebrow and goes to investigate his shoulder.

[Quinsar]

And it burts. Through his shirt, and skin. Sticking out of his shoulder is a large spike, made of bone. It's got a good bit of blood on it. Cruik screamed when it broke.

[Gem Flower]

Kami undeadtimes and wanders, looking for someone to talk to.

[Falgorn]

Okay, Cruik, let's get you down to the infirmary. He smiles weakly, moving to drape Cruik over his shoulder and carry him to the Infirmary.

[Quinsar]

Cruik is carried off.

[Falgorn]

Fernando lays him on a bed, letting the infirmary drones take care of him for now. He watches nervously from a distance away.

[Gem Flower]

Kami wanders into the infirmary and says quietly, What happened to him?

[Quinsar]

The spike goes back after a few minutes. Skin is still open and bleeding.

[Falgorn]

A spike of bone just burst through his skin. I think it's better now.
Drones! Bandage him up! The drones bandage the bleeding area on his shoulder.

[Gem Flower]

Why would that happen? she asks mildly

[Falgorn]

Fernando shrugs. Hell if I know.
Cruik, I'm going to the kitchen. Tell me if you need anything. He's kinda like the big brother you never had.

[Quinsar]

Except Cruik does have a big brother... And siater...
Cruik groans.

[Falgorn]

I know that. But you know, the big brother you never had, the one that's nice and caring.

Fernando gets a drink in the kitchen.

[Quinsar]

Cruik stays there.

[Gem Flower]

Kami asks Cruik calmly, So what caused that injury? Does Cruik have a problem with vampires, by any chance?:smalltongue:

[Falgorn]

Fernando dozes off in the kitchen.

[Quinsar]

A bone spike...
Nope.

[Gem Flower]

Is a bone spike when your bone just randomly pokes through your skin?:smallconfused:
Excellent.

[Kaelaroth]

Oh, look! The phone! It's ringing!
Brrrrriiiiiiiiing!

[Quinsar]

Kinda...
He groans.

[FireFox]

Snatch!
Matt answers it almost instantly. Hello, HALO here.

[Kaelaroth]

Hello! It's Czernov! President of GLoG! We have to ressurect a body, and I was hoping someone from HALO could manage it? The voice is nearly totally Czernov's, not that I imagine Matt's heard his voice before.

[Gem Flower]

Kinda...
He groans.

I see. Would you like some help with that pain there?

[FireFox]

Ah, good afternoon. Matt pauses and frowns slightly. Does GLoG not have clerics of their own to raise this body?

[Kaelaroth]

She's detained, I'm afraid. The voice says. The ressurection isn't our most pressing concern, so she's busy, but it is of personal importance to me, so I thought I'd ask.

[Quinsar]

That would be nice...

[FireFox]

Ah... I imagine she would be a mite too busy for your group, what with her becoming a Goddess and all... Matt sends a DRD to summon any HALO member that the files say can raise somebody. The only active, powerful cleric I am personally aware of is out for a day or so, but I can check around...

[Gem Flower]

That would be nice...

Alright then. She does a nice little pain-killer spell that may cause him to lose all feeling where the pain was, or just take the pain.

[Kaelaroth]

Well, if it's not possible now, then it's no worry, I cAN FINd someone else. Czernov says, his voice blipping, slightly, towards the end.

[Quinsar]

Th-thank you...

[The Librarian]

Vallasito walks into whichever room Matt and this Czernov person are.
Greeting good sir, you seek someone to ressuerect a person. I must regret that at the moment it would appear that the majority of our clerics are at a absence from the base.

((Could that bone spike be the beginnings of a wing?))

[FireFox]

Matt runs a quick number and location trace on the call, so he knows what to dial in return. I'm sorry we aren't able to be of more assistance, but the only other cleric on our active duty roster isn't around right this second. I'll call you when she is, and see if you still require her?

((It is, if my memory doesn't fail me.))

[Gem Flower]

Th-thank you...

My pleasure. You might not regain feeling there for a couple hours though.

[Kaelaroth]

((Pssst. Czernov's being spoken to by Matt on a phone.))

.. Huh. "Czernov" is ringing from a payphone near the Taverna. Sure, call GLoG.

[FireFox]

((Detect Evil isn't going to work across a phoneline...))

I'll do that... Goodbye. Matt starts to terminate the call.

[Quinsar]

((Not a wing))



He nods.
It's okay...

[Kaelaroth]

Phone call's terminated.

[Gem Flower]

Kami leans against a wall and takes a drink from a vial of red liquid, looking absorbed in thought.

[FireFox]

Matt directs a DRD to bring any cleric who can raise people, chiefly Orianna and Patty, to him once they're both online. Then he goes back to the strategy room to work.

[Quinsar]

Cruik passes out.
Deadtime on al threads.

[The Librarian]

Lowan is in the Living Room watching some TV.

((Anyone on?))

[Lupy]

Lupy arrives in the base, much more confident about being under water than before. For one thing, he is wearing his normal vestments and teleported under his own power.

He walks through the hallway to the living room quickly, even looking at the fish.

((I'm new here, who is Lowan?))

Hello there...?

[The Librarian]

((My First, and Main Character))

Lupy will most likely see a 6ft 6in Arcane elf wearing a white robe that has prism pattern cuts in it showing the dark sage color(Dark Green) under-robe with this symbol (http://http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg200/lfslhs1993/?action=view&current=HumanSquad.png) on his back. He also is wear a Dark Green Hat and has long brown hair.
Lowan turns to see Lupy looking at the fish.
Hey, you new here?

[Lupy]

((Ah. Lupy is mine.))

Lupy is 5' 5" even with his mitre on, and has skin that would probably be olive if it weren't tinted orange. The small amount of hair poking out from under his mitre is black, he looks to be about 40-something. If Lowan can tell such things, the power surrounding him suggests that he is a demigod, and spends much time on the Plane of Fire...

Indeed I am. I am Archbishop Lupy of Patria, please call me Lupy. He takes a seat. And you would be...?

[The Librarian]

((He's an arcane elf, so yeah he'll be able to sense demi-godness and can tell age.))

Up close Lowan looks like a peppy adolescent if he were human.
The names Lowan Tyshougretu, pleasure to meet you.
Lowan immediately feels an odd sense of heat emitting from Lupy as he takes a seat.
Forgive me for asking, but do your powers by any chance preside from the Fire domain?

[Lupy]

((What makes him Arcane as opposed to a regular elf? :smallconfused: Just curious.))

Lupy works a lot with young men, enough to know better than to look down on him for his apparent age. Lupy offers him a hand to shake.

Indeed I do. In fact, my Lord Ignus is God there. Most perceptive. May I get you anything to drink? A small glass of brandy appears on the table next to Lupy.

[The Librarian]

((Arcane Elves was something I made up a while back. There basically the predecessors of elves. They have the innate ability to bring their aura out of their bodies and manipulate it for multiple uses. Arcane Elves also capable of harnessing the control element to the point where they can manipulate and even create that element the same as they manipulate their inner aura. :smalleek: Yeah that's rather confusing to understand.))

Lowan shake Lupy's hand but turns down the offer for a drink.
I'll pass on the drink, alcohol tastes bad to me.:smallyuk:

[Lupy]

Good, good. I wish I had waited longer to kill my liver. He sets the brandy on fire with a thought and takes a sip of the burning drink.

[The Librarian]

I'm kind of interested cause I noticed how you stare up at the ocean through the ceiling, do you like ocean or are you afraid to be in water?

[Lupy]

Being a Fire elemental, I cannot hold my breath at all, and I am always breathing through my skin, so I drown remarkably quickly. Needless to say, I am somewhat apprehensive about spending time under the sea.

[The Librarian]

Oh, yeah I remember back when I was in training with my magic, their was some student there who were born with fire as their inherited element, and would always freak out when some one threw a water balloon at them. I thought it was a cruel prank, even through my inherited element is water and ice.

((That statement could make things problematic.))

[Lupy]

So you are an elemental in nature? :smallconfused:

[The Librarian]

Most arcane elves are, mainly because of their families bloodline. Some control Fire, others control water, and others can even control stuff like Gravity.

[Lupy]

I see. Do you hail from the inner planes then?

[Quinsar]

Nathan has gotten out of his infirmary, a bit shakily. His arm hangs limply at his side. He groans, and stumbles into the hall.

[Lupy]

((Can Lupy see the hall from the Living room?))

[The Librarian]

If your referring to whether or not were mortal that would be correct, although most people who encounter arcane elves find i hard to believe.

((Sorry gotta deadtime Lupy))

[Quinsar]

((Up to you.
HALO's layout is...
Weird.))

[Lupy]

Lupy nods to him and swiftly walks over to Nathan.

Are you quite alright?

[Quinsar]

Wuh yeah...
He's shirtless and his shoulder is bandaged.

[Lupy]

((Isn't that Cruik's voice? :smallconfused: ))

Are you certain? It would not trouble me at all to help you.

[Quinsar]

Oh yeah...
That should say Cruik up there, sorry.

[Lupy]

((K.))Cause this is filler!

[Quinsar]

'Mmm fine...

[Lupy]

Please, let me at least look at your arm. And you shouldn't be half naked in this humidity, catch a cold you will.

A loose white shirt appears folded over Lupy's left arm.

[Quinsar]

The infirmary already fixed me, then the vamipre helped more...

[Lupy]

You do not appear to be fixed. And put this on.

He holds out the shirt. It is quite loose and will not rub the bandage.

[Quinsar]

Hewell, one hand is bandaged, so he can't grab it with that. ANd the other arm is numb and unmoving . . .
He nods, but doesn't do anything.

[Lupy]

Lupy points at the hand. Any anesthesia in there should dissapate and leave a sort of warm feeling, as though Lupy sucked it out and replaced it with liquid heat... The feeling will remain covering the pain until the pain is gone if it works.

[The Librarian]

((I'mma back))

Lowan gets up from the Couch and heads for the Kitchen.

[Lupy]

((K. I think Quinny left.))

Lupy nods to Lowan and also heads to the kitchen.

[The Librarian]

Lowan enters the kitchen and grabs a coke.
So, what brings you to HALO anyway Lupy?

[Lupy]

What is that? With the bubbles? I arrived here by accident, one of my many divine "friends" must have thought it amusing to send me here, under the sea. When I learned what it was I decided to join.

[DoomITP]

Grant walks around the base looking for Patty.

[The Librarian]

I see, that's happens to me a lot, the Tyshougretu lineage has advanced teleportation abilities and control of the Water element. Basically we can make Space and Dimensional Bridge to travel wherever we want. That's kind of how I met the many people at HALO that are my friends.

[The Bushranger]

Oh, there's Patty right now, headed to the kitchen.

[Lupy]

Ah. I just decided I want to be elsewhere and I am. This is the case for many demigods and gods. Really, what is that you are drinking?

[DoomITP]

Grant sees that she is headed towards the kitchen.


Hey..

[The Librarian]

Lowan looks at the half empty bottle.
What this, its a human drink called soda. I had only first had one a few months ago, but there very delicious.
Lowan rummages through the fridge and gets another and passes to Lupy.
Go ahead, and try one.

[Lupy]

Lupy takes it. He looks at the can for a moment, uncertain of how it opens, and then makes the top twist off, leaving the can with a razor edged top.

He takes a careful sip, and his eyes grow wide. It is so sweet! :smalleek:

[The Librarian]

Yeah, its very sweet for the amount of sugar that's placed in it.

[Lupy]

Do you want this one? I cannot drink it.

[The Bushranger]

Patty looks up, a little startled, in the door to the kitchen, then spots Grant and smiles. Hey, yourself. Whats up?

[The Librarian]

Lowan finishes off the first bottle and tosses it in a recycling bin.
Sure, I'll take it off your hands if its not in your taste.
He takes a swig from the bottle.
I guess it just a favorite of mine.:smallcool:

[Lupy]

Be careful, the edge is sharp.

He looks down, disappointed that all the brandy has burned off. The glass refills and lights again.

[The Librarian]

((Sorry, I'm a little preoccupied))

Not a problem for me.
He finishes off the drink and tosses it into the recycle bin as well.

[Lupy]

What do they do with all the glass?

[The Librarian]

Lowan thinks about it for a moment.
You know, I exactly don't know. Probably goes to stuff like windows or other glass based products.

[Lupy]

I knew a man once who took diamonds back to the Plane of Earth. He had been for quite some time. He thought that it took old diamonds to make new ones for some reason.

[FireFox]

Patty, do you have a minute? The voice in the young woman's head isn't asking a question.

[The Bushranger]

Patty, sipping coffee, closes her eyes smiling. Of course, Angela. What is it?

[FireFox]

Patty might want to open her eyes. To better appreciate the seductive beauty of the lust goddess that just appeared in front of her. Oh, and her aura is active, too. I think we need to talk. About a lot of things, but mainly recent, life-changing events.

[Bergett]

Michael is in the kitchen.

[The Bushranger]

Patty sucks in her breath as she feels her will start slipping away...
Er. Yeah. Maybe? I guess...

[Lupy]

Lupy raises an eyebrow at Angela.

[FireFox]

Angela waves cheerily at Lupy. She has Orianna's face and Tobias' vulpine eyes. Or have they met...?
So, you're my cleric now. This time, it's the other way around. A question masquerading as a statement.

[Bergett]

Michael seems pretty out of it now, not really paying attention.

[The Bushranger]

Patty blushes, but nods. Yeah. I guess that's...that's kinda how it is now, isn't it?

[Lupy]

I do not believe they have. He nods and then produces the book of Gods*. He adds an entry.

*It looks different to everyone who sees it. To Lupy it looks like a raggedy old journal with a handwritten title.

[FireFox]

I'm not going to change much of Lunaria's doctrine. She was the Selinite Goddess who told me to take over for her, by the way. That last bit was thrown out for the Archbishop's benefit. But... there will be a few different rules about... clerical practices. She smiles at Patty, and hops up onto the counter. Her miniskirt rides up slightly.

[Lupy]

Lupy frowns but adds it to the entry. He owes a certain Librarian very much and promised to his best to add 100 Gods and Goddesses to the book.

[The Bushranger]

And Patty, under Angela's influence, can't help but admire...
Um. What...changes are we, like, talking about here?

[DoomITP]

Hey Michael, thanks for backing me up. I owe you one.

[Bergett]

He looks at him.
Hmm? What?
Oh, right.
Yeah, no problem.

[DoomITP]

If you need help, let me know.

[FireFox]

Angela snaps her aura off, realizing she needs Patty's full attention. Of course, with her physical beauty, that might as well be pointless. First off, nothing gets back to Selini. No power, no souls, nothing. I am independent of the Selinite Gods. Second, you do not seduce for political advantages, such as blackmail or espionage. Third, no seduction that would completely ruin someone's life, or otherwise hurt someone. Because of these reductions and restrictions, producing feelings of lust in just one person isn't going to be enough. Hopefully Patty understands; Angela doesn't want to have to explain.

[Bergett]

Uhh right then.

[The Bushranger]

Patty nods...then double takes.
But...Matt... she stutters.

[FireFox]

You and Matt love each other very much. You can almost hear the splatter of her sarcasm dripping out of her voice onto the floor. Patty, dear, you can either go back home to your own time, stay with Matt and Matt alone and be bored the rest of the time, or become my High Priestess and sleep with more than just Matt.

[Quinsar]

Cruik has slumped into a sitting position against a wall in the hall.

[The Bushranger]

But I'm not bored, Patty protests, closing her eyes. I have commitments to him and to you and I don't know what to do...

[Lupy]

Lupy is in no position to argue here, but nor is he willing to sit through this. He goes off in search of Cruik. When he finds him he sits next to him.

How is your arm?

[FireFox]

Angela rolls her eyes. Well, you could always talk to him. I'm willing to compromise and let you spend time with him, but if he is stubborn and just wants you all to himself...

[Quinsar]

Meh...
He's still pretty out of it, and his arm is still magically numbed.

[Lupy]

((You know Lupy, is it reasonable to think he can tell it's magicked?))

[The Librarian]

Lowan walks out of the kitchen to where the crowd is.
Hey guys, whats going on?

[Quinsar]

He can, it wouldn't be hard.

[The Bushranger]

Patty's eyes narrow a bit for a moment, but then she nods. I'll...I'll talk to him, she promises. But if he wants me to himself, that's what he'll be getting.

[FireFox]

Angela frowns, and then tries to teleport out before Patty sees that she, somehow, hurt the Goddess.

[Lupy]

((Okay. I also notice no one else is using the OOC brackets... Are they not common here?))

It would appear that whoever killed the pain in your arm was in a rush. Would you like me to clear your head?

[DoomITP]

Grant walks up to Patty.


Eh, sorry I had to take care of something.

[Bergett]

Lowan walks out of the kitchen to where the crowd is.
Hey guys, whats going on?

There's something going on?
He says bored.

[The Librarian]

((Just to answer your question dude: OOC What? LoL))

Lowan just stands there idly, listening to Patty's and Angela's

[Siena]

((Some people use them and some don't, Lupy. I switch between the two at random. :smalltongue:
Nice meetin' you, by the way.))

Liana undeadtimes, rummaging through the fridge.

[Bergett]

Michael looks around confused.
Where did everyone come from...?

[The Bushranger]

Patty does notice something, and starts to speak up...

But, then, Angela's gone.

And the self-assured, cocky, brash Patty actually looks dissapointed in herself.


Hey, she says to Grant. No prob. What do you want?

[DoomITP]

Nothing, just looking for someone to talk to about random stuff.

[Quinsar]

No...
Miss Vampire made me feel good...

[The Bushranger]

Patty refills her coffee mug and hops up on the counter. Like what?

[Lupy]

((Ah, okay then.))

Lupy frowns at him. What did the vampire do?

[DoomITP]

Now that I think about it I have no clue...




Hmm...



How has your day been?

[Quinsar]

Cast a spell to make t feel better...
Then I went to sleep, and felt a lot better.
