Quinsar's Tower VIII

[Quinsar]

This thread encompasses Quinsar's tower, and the land it is in, ask Quinsar if you want access.

[iElf]

Din looks down
"I lost my father when I was 6, I became shipwrecked here, half dead, with no means to support myself, lived on the streets for nearly a month in inside until a HALO member found me.

the next time I left the base, I was was kidnapped by a drow raiding party, and enslaved for half a year. I managed to escape..at a cost. I arrived back at HALO as good as dead.

but when I returned, I met the person I loved...I don't know if you knew Pixie, but I loved her with all my heart, and she loved me...we got married...alas... on our honey moon, she was possessed, and raped me...and I forgave her as soon as she was sane again... but I was still scared...and then...she told me she had to leave forever... she left existence...went away for a reason I could all too well understand...but I loved her so much, that a life without her was not worth living for me...

sure, I had another few girlfriends...but they weren't her...

so....I killed myself...turning my back on the world of the living...

you didn't fail me yersil... I failed at living"

quoted for rand

[iElf]

To what end though? Is shutting yourself off from the joys the world of the living worth it? He sounds very upset.

"...so I could numb the pain of loosing her...it tore me apart...losing all the joys of life was better to me than spending the next 600 years of my life without her..."

[Emperor Ing]

damnit...so you just *sniff* gave up? *sniff*

[iElf]

Din nods "I gave up...and I'm happier now..."

[Emperor Ing]

Damn it *sniff* you didn't have to!
Yersel will begin to sob on Din's shoulder.

[iElf]

Din sighs "I wanted too...because the alternative was to torture myself for the next 600 years...I would have stood there, waiting for her to come back , form a place you can't come back from..."

[Emperor Ing]

And *sob* you feel nothing?

[iElf]

Din looks down "I feel a tinge of sadness...but mostly...I'm happy. and that's better than the deep depression I had" she looks up and smiles

[Quinsar]

Quinsar is in on of his magic labs!

[Emperor Ing]

Damnit...damnit...*sob* you didn't have to die! *sob*

[iElf]

Din smiles "I think that's the point of suicide..."

[Emperor Ing]

That...that's the worst... He seems to be calming down.

[iElf]

"...I wanted to die...I told you why...I hope you understand"

[Emperor Ing]

I...don't think i'll...honestly understand.

[iElf]

Din thinks "...imagine a lot of pain...so much pain that you'd wish it would stops...but It won't stop till you die..."

[Emperor Ing]

I...I don't think i'll ever understand. I don't think I want to understand either. He sounds much more calm now.

[iElf]

Din nods "...i'm just glad you feel better"

[Emperor Ing]

I still wish there's something I could've done...

[iElf]

Din smiles "it's ok..survivors guilt...it happens"

[Emperor Ing]

It's one thing to read it in a book, but to actually feel it's much different.

deadtime

[Beans]

Vo gets one of Carrie's Guides to take her to Erica's ream.
She's got a large tin in a bag with her and she polished her boots up real nice.

[Quinsar]

Erica lets her in.
She tells Renata to get ready with her gun.

[iElf]

Din gets back to work

[Beans]

Ren has her scoped pistol and a sawed-off shotgun ready.

The tall, skinny emo girl is holding the short redhead teen's hand.

Vo comes in, wiping her feet first, and looks at her reflection in her shoes.
... 'M sorry.
---
Pesty and Carrie teleport to Pesty's parents' house.

[Quinsar]

You're actually sorry?



Mandy is in Nathan;s room.

[Beans]

You're actually sorry?
She nods.
I've learned that evil sucks and stuff and I'm sorry for waging war on you.
... You're kidding.
She looks a little more down at her toes.
I made you some caramel corn.
---
Talia is gripping a sword and ranting about how she's gonna kick some ass and stuff.

Pesty hugs her dad.

[iElf]

Din finishes her shift ,and goes to see if she can talk to anybody

[Quinsar]

He hug her back.
Well fond him.
Uh oh quiet Mandy!



...
Caramel corn?



Amanda is in her room

[Beans]

Carrie hugs too.
This is Carrie, Dad. She's a death goddess and my friend.
---

She nods and holds up the tin.
If Eri looks inside, it's homemade caramel-covered popcorn.

[iElf]

Din hesitates, and knocks on Amanda's door

[Quinsar]

She begins to nom nom nom. Her weakness!


Nice to meet you...


Amanda answers.
Hi! How can I- Oh, Din... What do you want?

[Beans]

Talia stops ranting to pat Carrie's head and then moar ranting.

Pesty sighs.
---
Ren noms...

It's gooood.
... Well...
I think we can forgive...

[iElf]

"I--just wanted to see how you were.."

[Quinsar]

I'm fine.
Applying to colleges. And making grilled cheese.





Mandy hugs them.



More nom.

[Beans]

Pesty wonders where they took him.
---
Ren relents and hugs Vo.

[iElf]

Din nods "ok...has anything else happened, i don't know about yet?"

[Quinsar]

Not really.
Did mom give you the ring back?




Erica hugs too.

[Beans]

Um... can we just say that Carrie did give it back? I totally forgot.
---
Vo smiles.

[iElf]

Din nods "...I need to confess to you...every time i kissed you or touched you or slept with you...i thought of Pixie"

[Quinsar]

Amanda stares, then opens her mouth a bit, like she's gonna say something.
Then she swallows hard.
...
**** you whore.
And she slams the door in Din's face.






Can you make some more of that?

[iElf]

Din looks down "...I wish I could die again..."

[Beans]

Wow, Din, that was a good idea.
---
Vo nods.
Yep!
She's a cute little girl when she's not being evil, isn't she, Eri? Ren giggles.
---
Primrose is walking by Amanda's room.

[Quinsar]

There's a loud bang from Amanda's room, she screams a swear, then silence.




Yup.
Cute.

[iElf]

Din just stands there, looking down...

[Beans]

She tickles Vo; Vo giggles.
---
Primrose just hugs Din.

BRB, cleaning.

[Quinsar]

Erica goes to tickle Ren.

[Beans]

And Vo tickles Eri, so it's a tickle trinity!

[Quinsar]

Giggles everywhere!







Amanda's quiet sobs can be heard.

[Beans]

Primrose (http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1007/d06/1418/c669583.png) (acts as a sort of butler/valet/etc to Carrie and her family) moves Din away and knocks on the door.

Miss Amanda?
---
Ren giggles.
See how fun Good is?

[Quinsar]

W-what do you want?




You don't have to be all mean.

[Beans]

Yeah!
---
Are you alright?
Primrose is also the realm's bicycle, so to speak; she's been bedded by Carrie (during the "divorce between Carrie and Gen), Din, the Guides---and possibly has, after the Din breakup, joined Penny and Amanda.
Sluuuuuuuut.

[Quinsar]

N-no...
I'm not.




Wanna meet our kids?

[Beans]

She nodnods.
---
Anything I can do to help?

[Quinsar]

...
Come in.




She'll lead Vo to the newly built playroom.

[Beans]

She enters.
---
Alia waves.

[Quinsar]

This is Alia and (I have bad memory)





Amanda is wearing a sweat paints an d a biiiig hoodie.
Can you hold me...?

[Beans]

Wasn't it Marco?
Hi! I'm Vo! I was mean but now I'm nice.

Alia comes over and looks waaaaay up at her.
---
Primrose holds her and rubs her back.

[iElf]

Din is Din

...me and X are thinking about doing something new on Pantheon...

[Quinsar]

I hate Din so much.
I want her to leave.

[Beans]

Shhh, shhh now...
---
O rly?

[iElf]

Din still is Din

yah rly. to cut things short, the PC's have been shipwrecked, and split up into two teams to try and survive. conflict ensues

[Quinsar]

I-I'm gonna tell mom tha it's her or me.
I don't want that whore near me or Penny.

[Beans]

...
If you hate her for being... a whore... why do you tolerate me?
---
I dun's know if I'mma get in on that...

[Quinsar]

You didn't betray me.
You didn't tell me you love me, and wanna marry me, then think of someone else whenever you're with me.

[Beans]

Miss Amanda, I have slept with you and Penny. Sometimes just you or just her some nights. When Madam Carrion was apart from Madam Genkai, I slept with her. I have slept with Din. I have slept with visitors. I allow myself to be passed around like a cannabis joint in the Guide bedrooms.
How am I not a whore?

[Quinsar]

You are but...
You're different.
You're a good person, nice...

[Beans]

She concedes, still rubbing her back.

[Quinsar]

I-I'm gonna sleep...
Can you get me a tin of ice cream for when I wake up?...
You don't have to stay.

[Beans]

She nods.
What flavor?

[Quinsar]

Rocky road please.
She gets under her covers.

[Beans]

She nods and gets the icecream in a special coldbox.

[iElf]

meh, we decided on rebooting the castle Pan contenutity instead...to the time where they left HALO

Din is in her room, listening to the EoE OST again... or maybe she just has komm süsser tod on a loop

[Quinsar]

Amanda is asleep when she get sback.
Crying in her sleep.

[Beans]

That's a good frigging idea. Want me to baleet the old Castle Pan threds?
---
She sets it on the bedside table and strokes her head, whispering comforting words.

[iElf]

Din is still kinda down for a dead person...

[Quinsar]

She stops crying and begins to sleep peacefully.

[Beans]

Primrose slips out to tend to Din.

[iElf]

Din looks up when Prim comes in "...i'm such an idiot..."

[Beans]

She hugs her.

[iElf]

Din looks down "...I still miss her...even though I'm dead..."

[Beans]

Prim comforts her, or tries to.

[iElf]

Din looks up "...maybe I should ask Carrie to have me pass on..."

[Beans]

Perhaps...

[iElf]

"....is amanda very mad?"

[Beans]

She isn't thinking clearly.

[iElf]

Din looks down "...is should ask Carrie for help...but she has her own problems right now"

[Beans]

Carrie and Pesty head for Quinsar's tower; Carrie recognized his voice on le recording.

[Quinsar]

They'll appear outside the front door of his tower.

[Beans]

Carrie knocks on le door.

[Quinsar]

Quinsar appears at the door.

[Beans]

Hi, I'm Carrion and this is Pesty. Her brother has been kidnapped and when it happened, we heard a recording with your voice on it.

[Quinsar]

Okay....
I don't remember kidnapping anyone...
Sorry.

[Beans]

I think you were talking to a girl on the recording... Maybe it was her?

[Quinsar]

Well..
I know a lot of girls, you're gonna have to be more specific...

[Beans]

Well, it sounded like...
And she does a rather good imitation of the recording, even the sound effects.

[Quinsar]

Oh...
His face pales.
That's not possible...
Come inside.

[Beans]

They come in.

[Quinsar]

He'll lead them to a large sitting area.
Lots of snacks around.

[Beans]

They sit, not taking snacks 'cause he didn't say to yet and stuff.

[Quinsar]

Uh...
Feel freeto eat anything...
Are you sure that's what you heard...?

[Beans]

First we thought we heard my brother calling us.
Then we heard that. Exactly that.

[Quinsar]

Then this is very bad.
Story time...
Ten thousansd years ago, when I was just starting at the mage's academy. This young girl came to me, with more magic energy than anyone I had seen at that age. She could learn in hours what it took others years to learn. When she was nine, her parents died...
She ran, and I haven't heard from her since...
If she's still alive after all these years...
I don't know...
Maybe she's gotten over it but...
if she's kidnapped someone...
I don't know.

[Beans]

Pesty whimpers.
Carrie swallows hard.
Oh dear.

[Quinsar]

We have to stop her...
It looks to me like she has a problem with you two...

[Beans]

... I can sort of understand what's wrong with me, I mean, I'm a death goddess... but Pesty's just a lolcatgirl.
I'll kill her.

[Quinsar]

Yeah...
well...
I really don't know where she is...
I thought I should make her base an ice castle in a volcano, but then I was like, nah.

[Beans]

How about a castle of volcanic obsidian, complete with lava pits and all, in an icy place?

Pesty sighs.

[Quinsar]

I already have her base made.




Anything else I can do?

[Beans]

Heh, I get to keep that idea then.
No, but thanks.
C'mon, Pesty.

[Quinsar]

K.
Bye!
e waves them off.

[Beans]

They leave. Pesty's ears are down and she's a sad kitty.

[Quinsar]

Where do Pesty/Carrie go?

[happyturtle]

((Quinsar, can you edit the title of the first post to say [Nexus] before Quinsar's Tower VIII? Cheers! :smallsmile:))

[Beans]

Where do Pesty/Carrie go?

They have no idea where to go; they sort of wander aimlessly.

[iElf]

Din is around
as is summer

[Beans]

Summer is probably being superpetted by the Guides.

[iElf]

summer giggles, though they may have more chance with her than with pesty. she hasn't learnt the shovel trick yet!

[Beans]

Carrie told them to keep it G-rated, so they just apply pettings and hugs.

Primrose is with Din probably.

[iElf]

Din looks over at her "...what do the guides do to have fun here?"

[Beans]

Each other.
Me.
Any willing female.

[iElf]

Din thinks for a minute "...any other recreational activity they partake in?"

[Beans]

Volleyball, I think.

[iElf]

Din sighs "better than nothing"

[Beans]

Deadtime because brain is empty.

[Beans]

Returntime!
Pesty and Carrie have no idea what the hell to do, so they're muchly sad.

[Quinsar]

If they're in Carries realm, Pesty might hear someone calling her.

[Beans]

Pesty runs toward the sound.

[Quinsar]

In the hall is Nathans favorite red star ball.

[iElf]

Din is thinking...

[Beans]

She goes to touch it.
---
Primrose is asleep, having collapsed on a couch after overworking.

[iElf]

Din sits down with her, places her head in her lap, and begins stroking her hair

[Quinsar]

It squeaks.
There's blood on it.

[Beans]

Pesty grits her teeth.
---
Primrose sleeps contentedly.

[iElf]

Din sighs "...what ever am I going to do?"

[Quinsar]

There's suddenly a recording, a jumble of several voices to make a sentence..
If you Ever wanna wanna see Nathan again you will bring me Carrie!

[Beans]

She runs for Carrie.
---
Primrose makes happy little sleepy noises.

[Quinsar]

The vice flickers out.

[iElf]

Din sighs stroking more hair "...I mean...I like being here...but....I don't know...it's not exactly...i don't know how to say this really..."

[Beans]

She yawns and shifts.
Mmm...
---
Pesty and Carrie return to where the ball was found.

[Quinsar]

The ball just lays there...
The presence seems to be gone...

[iElf]

Din giggles "good morning ,sleepy head"

[Beans]

Pesty's fists quiver and her eyes moisten.
---
Hello...

[Quinsar]

The ball suddenly squeaks, mocking her.

[Beans]

She bursts into tears.

[Quinsar]

Deadtime, seeya.

[iElf]

Din giggles "surprised to see me?"

[Beans]

No.
She smiles.

[iElf]

Din leans down to kiss her "I'm having a really tough time deciding if I want to pass on, or stay here..."

[Beans]

Do whatever makes you happy.

[iElf]

Din frowns "that's the problem...I don't know if i'll be happy on the other side"

[Beans]

She frowns too.

[iElf]

Din looks at her "....would you want me to stay here?"

[Beans]

I want you to be happy.

[iElf]

Din looks down "....now i know even less than before what i want to do"

[Beans]

I'm sorry.

[iElf]

Din sighs"..it's ok..."

[Beans]

Ding!

Pesty and Carrie are place.

[Quinsar]

Carrie might hear a thud.

[Beans]

She runs at it, Pesty following.

[Quinsar]

There's a large burlap bag.
Bloody.

[Beans]

She looks insiiiiiiiiiiide.

[Quinsar]

There's Meg.
Her neck has been cut ear to ear, and there's a dagger left in her stomach.
Somehow she seems to be still alive. Just barely.
Here's a note.

[Beans]

Pesty reads it while Carrie starts healing frantically.

[Quinsar]

She's healed, but still KO.




Dear Carrion,

Next time you send an assassin for me, make sure she's not an idiot.

Love Colin and VV.

[Beans]

She sobs as Pesty holds her.
Vo sees this and screams.

[Quinsar]

Meg will live.
it'll just be...
Rough.

[Beans]

She grabs Carrie by the shoulders.
Send me.
I'm going to kill him either way, so send me and save yourself the trouble.

[Quinsar]

meg whimpers in her sleep.

[Beans]

Shhhhhhhh, baby.
Mommy's gonna bring you back his head.

[Quinsar]

She quiets down a bit.

[Beans]

She gets the location of Vetz's place from Carrie...
Then heads to her room.

Pesty and Carrie are shellshocked, not knowing what the hell is going on.

[Quinsar]

Meg begins to wake up.

[Beans]

Carrie and Pesty have gotten her to her bed.

[Quinsar]

She's shaking and whimpers.
Mommy...

[Beans]

Carrie strokes her head.

[Quinsar]

G-goddess...?
She whimpers.

[Beans]

I'd have the Tektek done by now if my computer didn't decide to randomly go LOL NOT RESPONDING when I do totally average things.
TECHNOLOGY.

She shushes her gently.

[Quinsar]

She tries to hug Carrie.

[Beans]

...
Screw this, I'm restarting my computer. Back in a second.
http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d10/1805/d221210.png
Vo walks in, dressed up all... um...

Hi sweetie.
I'mma bring you back that bastard's head on a plate 'kay?

[Quinsar]

Okay mommy.
Thanks.

[iElf]

Din is still all lol do I pass on...

[Beans]

Yay, Pantheon is loading slowly for no reason! :P

She smiles and heads off.

[Quinsar]

Meg smiles as she leaves.

[Beans]

She will go to where Carrie told her Vetz's base thingy is.

[Quinsar]

It's just...
Gone...

[Beans]

Vo sighs.
Shoulda known.

Tell Yeti I dedtiemed on Pantheon, iElf.

And I'm deadtiming here because computer stupidity has locked my brain up.

[Emperor Ing]

Yersel will be with Summer.

[iElf]

summer is huggling him!

[Emperor Ing]

Although he's rubbing his snout against Summer, she might be able to tell that something's bothering him.

[iElf]

summer frowns at him "what's wrong yersil love?"

[Emperor Ing]

Eeehh..
He sits down on the bed.
It's just...I spoke to Din.

[iElf]

summer kisses him "...what did she say?"

[Emperor Ing]

It's just.....how can anyone ever be that sad?

[iElf]

summer looks him the eyes "Imagine you would loose me...that rand had killed me"

[Emperor Ing]

Yersel returns her look, and Summer is able to see as his mildly sad look falls into anguished despair in a second. He falls on Summer, sobbing.

[iElf]

summer holds him "...shh...it's ok...I'm still here...I love you"

[Emperor Ing]

*sob* please...*cry* please don't ever make me think this again. *bawl*

[iElf]

summer kisses him again and again "I won't ...i promise"

[Emperor Ing]

Yersel continues crying, but he's at least trying to calm down. I love you so much Summer, *sob* I can't stand losing you!

[iElf]

Din pops in quickly "....do you understand now?"

she hugs him too

[Emperor Ing]

*sob* I don't want to understand.
Yersel hugs Summer tightly.

[iElf]

Summer hugs him. Din sighs "....sorry" she leaves

[Emperor Ing]

Yersel continues hugging Summer.

and deadtime.

[Beans]

Vo is saaaad.

[iElf]

if she's around, Din will hug her!

[Beans]

She's not around.
She's dressed up like a hooker where Vetz's base was and she has nobody to hook.

[Quinsar]

Do whatever makes you happy.

Von Vetz is suddenly there.

[Beans]

Von Vetz is suddenly there.

There with Din and Primrose?

[Quinsar]

No.
I must've accidentaly clicked multiquote.
With Vo.

[Beans]

Vo gives the most fangirly squee ever.
Hiya! You're Von Vetz, riiiiight?

[Quinsar]

Yes. I am.
And you're the Many.

[Beans]

Squee, mach 2.

I'm so flattered you know me!

[Quinsar]

Hmm.
So you're a fan?

[Beans]

How could I not be? She giggles.

[Quinsar]

So...
what do you want?

[Beans]

To meet my idol, maybe watch and learn from a pro like yourself.

[Quinsar]

Weren't you killed?
By that bitch Riara?

[Beans]

She nonchalantly checks her nail polish.
I got better.

[Quinsar]

Sure.
You're pissed that I cut up that snake girl?

[Beans]

Pfft. She reminds me too damn much of her father.

[Quinsar]

Fine.
so you wanna come to my house?

[Beans]

That'd be greaaaaaaat...

[Quinsar]

He opens a portal.

[Beans]

She'll follow him through.

[Quinsar]

It leads to hi spalace.

[Beans]

She looks impressed.

[Emperor Ing]

I is here...

[iElf]

summer is being petted my some of Carrie's guides!

[Emperor Ing]

Summer finds herself being petted by someone familiar's scaly hands.

[iElf]

summer giggles "girls! my boyfriend is here!" summer tackle hugs Yersel "hey!"

[Emperor Ing]

Yersel is big, so he isn't knocked over. He does catch Summer though, smiling.
Good morning my love, how are you?

[iElf]

She giggles "i feel great...i just wonder if it'll be possible to go back some when..."

[Emperor Ing]

We'll get back there, don't worry. If that means if I have to take Rand down myself I will...also, is it just me or am I the only man here?

[iElf]

summer giggles "Carrie only employs emo lesbians"

[Emperor Ing]

Oh, I see. Well....i'm a lesbian but i'm not emo so... he giggles. And yes, he is a guy.

[iElf]

summer frowns "um...how can you be a lesbian...only girls can be lesbians"

[Emperor Ing]

It was a joke.

[iElf]

summer giggles, and kisses him "I love you"

[Emperor Ing]

Yersel smiles as his face goes all red.
I love you too.
Hug!

[iElf]

summer giggles "rand needs to clam down...and some one needs to put him in his place"

[Emperor Ing]

Absolutely, but...how? The only idea I have is extremely risky and might not work.

[iElf]

summer looks at him "what is it?"

[Emperor Ing]

Eh, even if it did work i'm not sure what will happen. Basically i've heard Rand reference that he used to have a living body. Because his current form has absolutely no traces of flesh or bone, I just wonder what would happen if his dead body, if it does exist, were to be resurrected. Again, i'm not sure if this will work or not because he could know about this, there can be defenses, he might have destroyed his body completely, but even assuming that someone were to resurrect his dead body, theoretically that means that the same arcane incarnation we all know and love would simply walk around in a mortal form. This would mean though, he would have the same level of arcane ability as now, but he would have the same strengths and weaknesses then than he did in life.

[iElf]

summer forwns "...but who do we know that can resurect?"

[Emperor Ing]

Rand did it to me four times but I doubt he'd help us, umm, Cassie?

[iElf]

summer frowns again "who's that?...or did you mean Carrie?"

[Emperor Ing]

Yes, Cassie. Sorry I had a freudian slip.

[iElf]

summer frowns "...you keep on saying Cassie...."

[Emperor Ing]

Carrie Carrie CARRIE!! Sorry I don't think my brain is at 100% capacity.
