Each cabin has rooms A-D. The main lodge has plenty of bunk space, but there are no separate rooms.

Cabin 5 - Maple is reserved for visitors who do not want to stay at the lodge. They are requested to check in at the main lodge, where any member can give them permission to stay for a few days. Longer than that, and unless they are in need, they would be requested to either join or move to their own place or one of the local inns.

New cabins can be added as the plot demands it. Here is a list of unused tree names:

Linden, Larch, Ash, Pine, Hickory, Poplar, Magnolia, Olive, Rowan, Fir, Spruce, Holly, Cottonwood, Cypress, Hemlock, Teak, Ebony, Pear, Fig, Date, Mahogany, Palm, Lime, Acadia, Gumbo Limbo…

Description of the new GLoG setting:
After the original GLoG building was destroyed by an army of catpeople, the survivors took out a mortgage and purchased Phoenix Lake Campground. Facilities include the main lodge house, a bathhouse with separate male and female sections, a stable (no horses present), various picnic shelters, and a few scattered cabins. It's set in the foothills of the Acro mountains, and mainly surrounded by woods. There are many hiking trails nearby leading to mountaintop vistas, waterfalls, seacoves, and various other locations, both within this thread, and in the Outside thread. The campground is also within easy walking distance of the Taverna Generica and the city of Inside.

At the lake, there is a small dock with a little shed nearby where a few canoes and paddleboats are stored. (They probably should be inspected first before trying to put them in the water.) The swimming area has a GIANT slide and a rope swing. Because GIANT slides and rope swings are awesome. :smallbiggrin: There is also a playground under the trees, set back from the lake somewhat, and a set of horseshoe pits.

Having been built on a Generic Ancient Burial Ground, Phoenix Lake Campground is haunted by various ghosts. They are generally harmless, and for the most part glad to have some company, though pranks and hijinks may occur. Ghosts, like the drones of old, can be NPC'd by anyone. They tend to speak in Gray.

Surroundings:

South, by Neon Knight:
[Lake, Southern Shores]

Our descriptive tour starts here, because NK has jurisdiction here.

The southern shore is a gentle slope descending into the waters of the lake, sandy here and there, and perfect for waders and swimmers. There are no high banks along the water, which is normally quite pleasant. Being winter, of course, it is rather chilly. The foliage around the lake isn't prickly or harsh at all, and a free trees provide shade for those inclined to lounge nearby.

[South Meadow]

Immediately south of the central shoreline is a rather nice meadow. Although winter has robbed it of some joy and vitality, [South Meadow] will be a lovely spot for picnics when warmth returns, with soft grass, pretty blooms, and an arrangement of surrounding trees that lets in just enough wind to cool you off in the summer but blocks enough so that the windchill doesn't freeze you.

[South Forest]

As the tree line thickens, conifers and deciduous trees grow in thick clumps, making a patchy canopy overhead. Hiking trails wind through it here and there, but it is mostly overgrown; the southern woods are a more remote and neglected part of the campground.

The bare wooden limbs of the deciduous trees contrast sharply with the continued vitality and life of the firs and other conifers. The elevation gently slopes up the deeper south you go, wit forested hills rising and eventually the great peaks of the mountains forming the southern part of the valley.

North, by EleventhHour:
[Once in a lifetime, you get a new beginning]

GLoG, was blown apart and torn down, those who visited it mourned the loss of such an extravagant building, and for the loss of a landmark they grew up with. When they heard word of it being rebuilt, from almost the ground, people came to see, and to work. The following is an excerpt from a journal of a woman who came to see the new place...

On the northern shores of the lake, 'tis easy to see why they pick such a place. To the south it one range of mountains, sandy beaches and old forgotten trails, on the north side, things are rockier. For example, even as I write this, I stand on the head of a short cliffside some six feet above the glistening blue waters, well they are frozen over with ice at the moment, glittering in the sun, but I can imagine the summer view...

To look around, turning in an eastward fasion, it's easiest to notice the grey mountain peak of the beginning of the northern range, the massive waterfall feeding the lake shining white even from here, there are the forested groves and the low growing holly bushes, some dead for the winter, others still a vibrant green as thier sort dictates. To the north, I will have to travel through the woods, to be looking upon the sights. Coming back 'round to the west, you can see the battered place of old, where a graveyard must have stood, some pitted old pillars and laystones of granite grown over with moss, and pushed aside by saplings.

Upon starting the climb up the hillsides about the mountainous locale, I noticed that where some rockslides had taken the face away from the lower mountain revealing black, midnight cracks into the roots of the world, leading who knows where, and sealed for who knows how long. Ah! I have reached a merry pinnacle, about halfway up those imposing peaks. Oh, 'tis cold, certainly, but any who dare venture up this far are surely in for a treat of wonder. Looking down across the forest, you can see the blackened trees to the west, and the breaks in the treeline where the cabins and lodges stand empty, with the little cleared roads drawing snaked pathes between them.

Up here, you can taste the frigid air, and only the lowest growing bushes are able to grow at all. Miraculously, when I stopped in a little enclave on the side of the hill, heading back down now, there were blueberries growing! In the middle of winter, no less! Unfortunately, there was a storm brewing, and I had no time to stop and wait. One thing did catch my eye though, on the way down, that somehow I couldn't see from the peak, and I have yet to drop by the main lodge itself to see, but from here I could see a tree, massive beyond reason of twisted branches and a trunk easily as large as a house, I would say it was a blue ash, but they couldn't possibly grow so tall...

Island: (by Rebonack)
In the midst of the lake there is a small island. Getting here is a bit of a swim unless other means of transportation are available.

It's generally sandy with more than a few alder trees quite happy to take advantage of the water. Everything is powdered with a light application of snow, disturbed by only the occasional bird footprints. Isn't exactly the sort of location large animals come to.

The place is largely wooded with the occasional granite boulder sticking out of the snow, strange swirling petroglyphs etched into them. And in the middle of the island is a structure of decent size. A low, squat building of stacked stones. Looks to be a crypt of some kind.

Should one step into the barrow...

It's dark inside. And kinda wet. The walls are carved with the same odd swirling sigils that were found on several of the stones outside. In the middle of the ruin lies a huge stone table, ancient glyphs ringing the edge. The slab appears to have broken ages ago, split right down the middle. Several windows allow sunlight to filter in, causing the various stone to cast long shadows.

Or at least they do when the skylights aren't covered in snow.

Buildings:
Main Lodge: This large building contains an industrial kitchen with a cafeteria style serving area, and an open space that was once used as the dining hall. The space is warmed by a massive fireplace. Bunk beds are lined up on one end of the hall, opposite the kitchen, and a few comfy chairs and sofas are beginning to appear around the fireplace as they are procured. The building itself is made of stone.

Bathhouse: This building is divided into the men's and women's bathhouses, with entrances at either end. It has shower stalls, a line of sinks, and toilet stalls in each. By now, the shower curtains have been replaced and the whole area has been scrubbed to cleanliness and usability.

Cabins: Each cabin has 4 rooms, each with shelves and space for three bunk beds. The ones nearest to the lodge have been cleaned out and are habitable, though they lack furniture and any source of heat.

Workshop: A well built cabin designed by Reelshka, containing nothing at present but the Mainframe installation. It is locked.

Infirmary:
The outside of the infirmary looks just like all the rest of the buildings. Nothing distinguishes it at all.

But inside, everything is white, with silver highlighting. Even though it doesn't seem possible, when looking from outside, sunlight filters inside. Giving the place a warm feeling with natural light.

A soft, soothing music filters through the whole building and words can barely be heard saying words of healing and comfort, like: "You are going to be okay." "We'll take care of you." "You are dear to us." and so on.

Each room is walled off for a limited amount of privacy, because the pixies know that humans seem to need this. Strange. But it is limited. There are no doors.

Kinda looks like this:
______________________________________
|___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___|
|__/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/|
|__________________________________---|
|_\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\_|
|__\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\|

Except the angles are more severe, so that people on the other side of the hall can't see into anyone's room. Only someone intentionally looking in, can see you.

There is also a small living area in the back which includes a small kitchen and bedroom among a few other things.

About the Drones Mk 2:
In other news, the drones are back at GLoG (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10099372#post10099372). :smallbiggrin:

Drones are NPCs who can be played by anyone, within the guidelines below
Their Primary Function is member safety
They no longer have teleport beams or alignment scanners
They do have stun beams and the ability to record what's going on around them
They follow orders, unless those orders conflict with their Primary Function
There are only 10-12 in operation at any one time
They can be destroyed, but if so, they'll be restored from backup
A few have been supplied with medical programming, and thus can be godmodded for infirmary duties.
Sadly, they have no cake fixation. Sunny arrived after the Top Secret Cake Baking Kitchen had been abandoned.
They speak in DarkOrange FixedSys

(Sadly, the drones were removed for IC reasons. If someone wants them back, they'll need to build new ones.)

Attention villains:
Conflict is great! It's the heart of any story, and there isn't much to roleplay without it. However, as a player to player courtesy, please check in with the players who are active at any given time before launching an attack. Not everyone wants to roleplay combat scenes, and sometimes there are other things going on (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0497.html) that players don't want to interrupt for a random fight. Either a PM/IM to players, a short post in thread to say ((Mind if I introduce a villain here?)) or a longer post in the OOC thread if it's a larger plot is appreciated.

Also, please don't plan any villainy that will result in destroying the base or having the same effect (poisoning the lake, burning down the forest, etc.)

Base Defences:
So Khiansa goes around the grounds, casting alarm spells around the surrounding woods, and wards against the weaker classes of undead, devil or demon (eg. Those least likely to be PCs :smallwink:), weak wards to limit the strength of destructive magic, and other such weak fields of protection, in order to make things a bit safer in general, before he can eventually go back over and make stronger, more selective wards.
After setting up the wards, he'll start the considerably harder work of magically fortifying the buildings themselves, especially the lodge, weaving spells of protection and strength in between and through the building materials, so that they may better withstand attack.

NB: As part of a continuing effort to move away from DnD and become more freeform, there is no longer any inbuilt organizational capability of 'alignment detection'. Individual PCs may or may not have this ability.

"Very well, thank you for all your help Andy. It's very appreciated." Cessie says with a short bow. "I think we should be leaving now however, we need to deal with some things at the base."

[Outside]

"OK. If there is something other I could help just call me."

He heads off, as well to Inside.

Cherry Cabin

Moff 4 arrives via portal and attempts to walk right in to Butler's room, looking for a pair of his shorts and a hairbrush.

((I'm assuming he knows which cabin and room is Butler's from the photography session. If this isn't the case, I'll edit.))

Reinholdt

Cherry Cabin

I'd be shocked if Moff didn't know.

His shorts are easy to find. All nicely laundried, stain free, and even pressed by an iron to get the wrinkles out.

And I'd say it's less of a hair brush and more of a... fur brush? But he has hair and fur. I think we'll just call it a brush. :smallconfused:

There's also cases of Nuka-Cola and a cane that he picked up for Marley.

Moff takes a can of Nuka-Cola, a pair of shorts, and the brush. He leaves the cane behind.

He opens a portal and steps through to HALO with his pilfered property.

Reinholdt uses utensils sometimes, depending on the company he's with.

Not today though!
OMNOMNOM!

Bye Quinn!

I assume they finish their fish eventually, unless you'd rather roleplay each om and nom. :smalltongue:

Ermine licks her lips like a cat.

"Dat was good." :smallsmile:

[Outside]

Ghar is standing at the lakeside. A voluminous umbrella protects him from the sun's rays. His other hand is moving in a complex pattern as he manipulates the water before him. It appears that he's forming a replica of a vast underground tunnel system.

Reinholdt

[Kitchen]

I assume they finish their fish eventually, unless you'd rather roleplay each om and nom. :smalltongue:

Ermine licks her lips like a cat.

Reinholdt licks his lips like an ermine then.

"Well it better be. It was fish!" Fish should never taste bad.

"Aye. Nothin' beats a good fish, cept maybe rum."

Ermine winks, and then passes Reinholdt one of the bottles the drone had got. While taking a sip of her's. :smalltongue:

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 07:18 PM

[Kitchen]

"It's midday!" Reinholdt protests, even as he catches the rum bottle.

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 07:23 PM

"So it is."

Ermine flicks her ears.

"Does dat matter?" :smallconfused:

Pirates. :smalltongue:

"It's too early for me to get drunk." :smalltongue:

Clearly other drugs are ok though. :smallconfused:

"It never be too early fer drinkin'." :smalltongue:

Ermine nods sagely and takes another swig.

"Ye don't 'ave ta get drunk if'n ye don't want to."

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 07:30 PM

[Kitchen]

"Easy for you to say." Reinholdt says, taking a gentle sip from the rum bottle.

Before passing out, totally smashed.

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 07:32 PM

"Aye, 'tis."

Ermine grins in amusement.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 07:35 PM

Reinholdt is forced to roll his eyes, shake his head, and stick his blue tongue out at her again. :smalltongue:

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 07:37 PM

Ermine sticks her tongue out back at him and takes another swig.

...

Wait...

"Is yer tongue blue?" :smallconfused:

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 07:41 PM

[Kitchen]

Reinholdt blinks at her for a bit, then sticks his tongue back out to look and asks "Is owwww!!!"
Needless to say, talking while sticking his tongue out results in biting his own tongue. His hand moves up to cover his mouth.

2011-04-07, 07:55 PM

((@^ Ghar will probably find that there are already tunnels under GLoG, created by Bill's dwarves. :smallconfused:))

[Kitchen]

"Aye, it is blue!"

Ermine looks startled.

"Are ye okay?"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:00 PM

[Kitchen]

Reinholdt holds up his hand and nods. "Bit by tongue." He shakes it off though. Hardly of significance, if annoying.

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 08:02 PM

"Kay... But why is yer tongue blue?" :smallconfused:

Ermine swishes her tail. And drinks a bit of rum.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:05 PM

[Kitchen]

"Hmm... oh. Umm... I don't know." Reinholdt says, shifting in his seat a bit and looking away.

"Probably had blueberries for breakfast or something. I doubt it's important."

Murkus

"Hello Sarah." Ghar lances at her before returning to his work. "I'm replicating a network of tunnels that lies under this camp. They're part of a much larger tunnel system that the people call Underside. It's an exercise mostly."

"Oh. Sounds cool." Sarah says, making a note to look for and explore these tunnels some time. "Hey, can I learn color magic?"

Painting things and animating your art! Hooray!

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 08:15 PM

[Kitchen]

"Maybe..."

Ermine doesn't seem too convinced. Though she really can't think of anything too bad about a stained tongue, but Reinholdt doesn't seem to want to tell her about it.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:17 PM

[Kitchen]

"I'll probably have Quinn check it out later and make sure it's not some horrible Nexus disease or something." He says, before taking a swig of his rum.

Gullara

2011-04-07, 08:19 PM

[Lakeside]

((Well, clearly he doesn't bother with the dwarf tunnels. The Underside tunnel, which I seem to believe run under everything, are much deeper.))

Ghar looks away from his work at raises an eyebrow questioningly. The replica tunnels crash back into the lake with a large splash.

"Colour magic?" He asks. "There are plenty of spells that work with colour in some way. What exactly are you thinking of?"

Also, I'm not going to say there are any tunnels near the surface around GLoG, but of course I'm not going to say there aren't either.

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 08:19 PM

[Kitchen]

"A disease? Ye fink I could've got it?" :smalleek:

They were making out. :smalltongue:

Ermine takes another swig of rum. Though I probably shouldn't have to mention this by now.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:21 PM

[Kitchen]

"Umm..." Reinholdt realizes a fatal flaw in the fabrication of his lies.

"I, umm... doubt it. Is your tongue blue?"

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 08:24 PM

[Kitchen]

"I dunno."

Ermine sticks her tongue out and tries to look down at it. She's learned from Reinholdt's mistake and doesn't try to talk, instead giving him an inquiring look. Her tongue isn't blue, of course, unless the stain from the drug is transmitted by kissing. :smalltongue:

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:26 PM

[Kitchen]

I don't think so.
Reinholdt shakes his head. "Normal."

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 08:32 PM

[Kitchen]

Ermine withdraws her tongue.

"Oh, good. I guess it ain't a disease then. I bet it'll jus' wash off wit' some rum." :smallsmile:

The pirate drinks some rum! Even though she isn't the one that needs to wash a stain off. :smalltongue:

Me.

2011-04-07, 08:33 PM

Tumbili undeatimes. He rubs his eyes sleepily, jumps down from the tree and walks over to the door of the main cabin. He knocks, again, hoping someone will answer him this time. He doesn't want to be rude, but he is now for some reason determined to get in.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:33 PM

[Kitchen]

Reinholdt doesn't bother pointing out that if it was a disease, Ermine would have a blue tongue the next day or so, not a few minutes later.

Instead he just takes a sip of rum, as per her suggestion.
And then tilts his head at the knocking.

"I'll get it."
Reinholdt goes to open the door!

Me.

2011-04-07, 08:36 PM

Tumbili jumps slightly at the sudden opening of the door. He hoped for it, but didn't really expect it. He grins widely at whomever is holding and raises his hand in a friendly wave.
"Hi, my name is Tumbili!"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:44 PM

[Main Cabin]

Reinholdt is... umm... hard to describe. But through a series of incidents, he basically looks like what's described below.

Merely a man. A really, really amazing man. Screw Jazirian, Harth, Fanboy, even... Wait. He's probably, in fact, the most attractive humanoid to have ever walked the universes, in an over-hyped, inhuman, Stephenie Meyer described, kinda way. Take Amour’s intrigue (without the weird loner, and lover, issues), Nomlas’ boldness (without the uncouth idiocy, and ignoring the occasional bouts of OMG-cowardice), Vespe’s flair (without the moral weakness – don’t try and deny it), Butler’s sexiness (without the overtones of rank easiness), Fanboy’s gothic impressiveness (without the tendency to get on your nerves), and everyone else good looking you can think of’s attractiveness (without that ugly stench of mortality). He has slightly pointed ears, pale, almost luminous skin, big, red-pink eyes, lacking pupils, and a wiry, muscular physique, that screams effortlessness. He's flaming hawt. Of course, anyone who was in the Waves plot might recognise the form of Prince Kaelaroth Maschin of Magtok-Armennia.
He's wearing jeans, boots, and a leather jacket, in addition to a blue shirt underneath, largely chosen as his dress of choice to protect against unexpected zombie attacks. A pretty, if non-descript necklace hangs around his neck. On his pointer finger, not ring finger, is a bright ring with a small gem inset into it. Attached to his belt is a wicked looking dragon tooth knife, ammo for his rifle, and a pouch holding the lockpick set he wants people to find when they search him, the secret set hidden in his boots. Slung over his back is his ever present sniper rifle.

When he's busy being human anyways.
Reinholdt frowns and replies.
"Hello there. I'm Reinholdt, Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire." He gives his flourish.

Me.

2011-04-07, 08:48 PM

Tumbili resembles my avvie, a large monkey in clothes with bamboo rod
Tumbili scratches his head at the flourish of Reinholdt, and doesn't seem to notice his amazing looks. he simply replies by inquiring
"This seems like a very nice place you guys got here. What exactly is it?"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:51 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Ermine! I think one of your relatives is here!" Reinholdt calls back.

Before returning his attention to the monkey.
"This is the Good League of Good. That's the name anyways."

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 08:54 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Eh?"

Ermine goes to the door, peering over Reinholdt's shoulder. She is a blond woman dressed like a pirate with the ears and tail of a weasel, and holding a bottle of rum. She looks at the monkey with confusion.

"I don' fink so. Could be."

She gives a grin, her small sharp canine teeth showing as she does so.

"I be Ermine."

Me.

2011-04-07, 08:55 PM

Tumbili seems still a little confused...
"What kinda name is Good League of Good? Isn't that kinda repetitive? And how can you hunt treasure, isn't it mostly inanimate? Or do you like chase down golden animals or something?"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 08:58 PM

[Main Cabin]

Reinholdt introduces Ermine. "This is Tumblii. I think he's lost." In the head.

Reinholdt addresses Tumblii again. "I didn't pick the name and I have seen gold literally stand up and run before, so yes, you can chase it."

Me.

2011-04-07, 09:03 PM

Tumbili chuckles slightly
"I'm not lost (entirely) just looking for a place to stay, and this place had really great natural scenery which is something I miss from back home. So I was wondering if I could perhaps stay here?"
At this point, he gives the ultimate pouty face if ever you've seen one. Big eyes, pouty lip, the whole enchilada. He looks like he taught puppies how to do this look.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 09:14 PM

[Main Cabin]

Reinholdt, being a grumpy cat in reality, wants nothing more than to shout NO! in Tumblii's face and slam the door. Almost does it too.

But something holds him back. And it isn't the puppy eyes.
"Sure. Stay as long as you want." He says, standing aside to let Tumblii in.

Me.

2011-04-07, 09:18 PM

Tumbili can slightly sense Reinholdts hesitation to let him in, so he decides it's probably not in his best interest to pull off his usual antics at the present. So, instead of cartwheeling in like he normally would, he just walks in normally, finds a comfy place to sit and says graciously
"Thank you very much. May I ask something? If this place is a league, than that means there's a group of people, right? And so you would have like a mission, or something in common, a connection. What is that? "

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 09:26 PM

[Main Cabin]

"You're right. A lot of people stay in the various cabins you saw outside. The purpose of the group is largely general charity work and medical assistance, though it's primary listed goal is the redemption of evildoers." Reinholdt rocks on his feet a bit and closes the front door.

Me.

2011-04-07, 09:28 PM

Tumbili nods thoughtfully
"I see....So, where do I sign?"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 09:32 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Oh, you want to join, huh? Well... I have forms, but I can't grant membership." Reinholdt will get the monkey a form.

Me.

2011-04-07, 09:33 PM

"That's ok. Who can?"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 09:35 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Umm... a couple of people. Quinn, Zamira, Shrike, Andy, Susan and some others." Reinholdt frowns. He doesn't know all of them.

Me.

2011-04-07, 09:38 PM

"Do you know where any are right now?"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 09:40 PM

[Main Cabin]

Reinholdt frowns again. He sure does frown a lot. "Not immediately. But you can just walk around, I'm sure you'll find one soon enough."

Murkus

2011-04-07, 09:42 PM

Me.

2011-04-07, 09:44 PM

Tumbili shrugs indifferently.
He then sniffs around and questions "Do you have any bananas?"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 09:47 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Should have some right in there." Reinholdt says, pointing at the kitchen.

Me.

2011-04-07, 09:54 PM

Tumbili, deciding it probably best not to aggrivate the already seeming slightly irritated humanoid, and figuring it also best to make a good first impression, ignores his usual instinct to run like a mad animal towards the said direction, and instead asks
"May I have some?"

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 09:55 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Well... yeah. So long as you don't eat us into the poorhouse or anything, you can help yourself." Reinholdt says.

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:00 PM

Tumbili can hardly contain himself any longer. He nods graciously and runs into the kitchen, using his trusty nose until he finds the delicious yellow little pieces of paradise. He then grabs the bunch in his tail, takes one, peels it, and proceeds to consume it, slowly at first, enjoying every morsel. Then, it kind of turns slightly barbaric, as he takes much larger bites. After about 3 or 4, he puts the bunch back, very reluctantly, but minding his manners.
"Thank you." he grins.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 10:03 PM

[Main Cabin]

Reinholdt smiles and nods. "Not a problem."

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:09 PM

Tumbili wipes his mouth and sits down. He looks at Reinholdt
"Reinholdt, is that what you said your name was. Very interesting, is it foreign?"

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 10:11 PM

[Main Cabin]

Ermine stands around drinking rum. The pirate watches Tumbili and Reinholdt with vague interest.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 10:12 PM

"Yeah. And I suppose you could say it's foreign. I don't originate from this dimension. So about as foreign as you can get I suppose." Though Reinholdt doesn't think that Tumbili is particularly native either.

Gullara

2011-04-07, 10:13 PM

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:17 PM

"Different dimension you say? That's pretty cool, what's your home like?"
Tumbili is squatting on his seat rather than sitting, and seems very interested.

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 10:20 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Well... it didn't have much magic. In terms of firearms and electricity and stuff, we were technologically advanced, but we didn't have cars or airplanes. And the only sapient life forms were cats. That's it really. Not all that exciting." Reinholdt says, with a frown.

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:24 PM

Tumbili shrugs
"I don't much care for technology. It confuses me and usually explodes when I try to use it." At this he gives a slight frown

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 10:29 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Umm... yeah. Exploding is bad." Reinholdt admits. He usually only explodes technology when he wants it to explode though.

Murkus

2011-04-07, 10:30 PM

[Lakeside]

Ghar thinks for a moment. "I imagine that this Charity has a natural ability for that form of magic, but it isn't beyond the scope of my abilities. I should be able to teach you something similar at the very least."

"Awesome!" Sarah says, practically bouncing around. She keeps up her grin, saying, "When can we start?"

The fact that she doesn't know how to paint doesn't cross her mind.

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:30 PM

Tumbili nods thoughtfully

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 10:41 PM

[Main Cabin]

Reinholdt watches the monkey for a little longer, before turning to Ermine.
"Well, I think I'll go visit the insects now. Then maybe give Raril a visit in the Black Dragon Den or something. I dunno. Depends on how the research goes."

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:44 PM

Tumbili completely forgot about Ermine, and turns round to see who Reinholdt is addressing. He had only a quick look at her before, but now observes her more carefully and smiles as he sees her tail and ears and fangs and such animal qualities. He thinks Another animal being, perhaps this place won't be so bad.

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 10:44 PM

[Main Cabin]

Ermine nods.

"M'kay. I'll hang around. Somewhere."

With rum, presumably. Her tail twitches.

Gullara

2011-04-07, 10:48 PM

[Lakeside]

The drowpire chuckles a bit. "We could do a quick lesson now if you wish." He offers.

Not that I have the first idea of how to RP this. :smalltongue:

Reinholdt

2011-04-07, 10:51 PM

[Main Cabin]

"See you later then." Reinholdt gives her a warm smile, waves to the monkey, and then heads on out.

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:51 PM

Tumbili smiles to himself, fiddling his thumbs, until finally out of boredom he makes a small squirrel monkey appear. He then draws a chess board, pulls some pieces out of his pocket, and begins to play with the monkey

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 10:53 PM

[Main Cabin]

Ermine watches the chess game with interest. She does not seem to find the squirrel monkey strange at all. She swings her tail from side to side as she drinks her rum and watches.

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:55 PM

After loosing a few rounds, Tumbili crosses his arms and glares at the snotty new pet. He then looks at Ermine "Would you care to play?"

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 10:56 PM

[Main Cabin]

Ermine tilts her head.

"Okay. 'm not very good, though." :smallconfused:

She'll try to shoo the squirrel monkey out of its place and sit there to play chess.

Me.

2011-04-07, 10:59 PM

The squirrel monkey complies to the nod of Tumbili, and moves beside him
"Is ok, obviously I'm not very good either." he says. "So, black or white?"

KerfuffleMach2

2011-04-07, 11:00 PM

[Main Cabin]

A visitor walks in. She has longer, brown hair and eyes, and wears jeans and a black hoodie. She has a cloth bag hanging over one shoulder, and a wide grin. A grin that reveals a pair of fangs.

Ermine may recognize Alysha. I think they've met before.

Alysha looks around when she walks in. And as soon as she sees the squirrel monkey, she loses it.

It'samonkeyThat'ssoawesomeCanIpetitIt'ssocute! This is said in one breath as she quickly goes to the group around the chess board.

Murkus

2011-04-07, 11:02 PM

[Lakeside]

The drowpire chuckles a bit. "We could do a quick lesson now if you wish." He offers.

Not that I have the first idea of how to RP this. :smalltongue:

I'm sure you'll think of something.

"Do I have to make a wish?" Saray says jokingly, moving closer to him and looking eager to start.

Me.

2011-04-07, 11:02 PM

Tumbili nods, slightly put off by this new girl, but grateful for some energy at last
"Go ahead." he says, as he nods to the monkey which walks over to her

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 11:03 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Arr... Does it matter?" :smallconfused:

I'm surprised Ermine even knows what chess is. Though I do suppose there's no reason it wouldn't exist in her home universe.

"Which 'un goes first?"

She gives Alysha a bemused look, quivering her cheeks where her whiskers would be if she were in her little weasel form.

KerfuffleMach2

2011-04-07, 11:05 PM

[Main Cabin]

Alysha will go to pick up the monkey and hug it.

She'll wave to Ermine. Hi Ermine! Look, it's a cute monkey!

Then back to hugging and petting the monkey.

Me.

2011-04-07, 11:06 PM

He looks slightly shocked at Ermine, but says
"White goes first. I don't know if it really matters, depends on your strategy I guess."
He then looks at the rum she's holding and can smell it from where he sits
"What are you drinking?" he says pinching his nose.
The monkey gives Tumbili a look of Do I have to do this? and Tumbili gives him a look clearly saying Yes..

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 11:10 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Ah. I'll be dat 'un den." :smallsmile:

Ermine likes going first. ... 'Cause. She looks down at her drink.

"It be rum."

The pirate then looks at Alysha. She looks a tiny bit uncomfortable with the vampire hugging the monkey, but quickly tells herself it's probably not a shapeshifting monkey and that it it not inappropriate. :smalltongue:

"Heya Alysha."

KerfuffleMach2

2011-04-07, 11:16 PM

[Main Cabin]

Shapeshifting monkey? That's an odd thing to assume. Silly Ermine.

Alysha takes a seat near the chess board, so she can watch.

Still hugging and petting the monkey.

Poor monkey.

Me.

2011-04-07, 11:24 PM

Just as he's about to start, Tumbili deatimes, and the monkey takes advantage of this opportunity. He leaps out of this monsters arms and takes the chess board and pieces, stuffing them back in his masters pocket.
He then looks at this girl, this Alysha, who was choking him, and says in a proper British accent. "Madame, my name is Mtumishi, not monkey, and I would prefer if from now on you would ask my permission before attempting to collapse my lungs. In fact, I'd prefer if you didn't at all, but if you must... Also, since my master is rendered inactive at the present, I will be guarding him, and I suggest no one tries any funny business. "
He then grabs Tumbili's staff and sits next to him, in a stiff trance.

Gullara

2011-04-07, 11:25 PM

VampireRot

2011-04-07, 11:27 PM

[Main Cabin]

Ermine is a shapeshifting ermine. Everyone from her home planet is a shapeshifting animal. So she assumes intelligent animals shapeshift. Not odd.

Speaking off odd, the pirate gives the monkey an odd look.

"O... kay."

...

Hey look! Some rum! Ermine drinks her beverage gratefully. :smalltongue:

And probably deadtimes too at some point.

KerfuffleMach2

2011-04-07, 11:30 PM

[Main Cabin]

Alysha stares for a moment, definitely shocked.

Oh...um...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or anything. It's just, you're so cute! I can't help it! So, uh, Mtumishi, can I still hug you nicely?

Me.

2011-04-07, 11:36 PM

After glaring at this girl for a few moments, Mtumishi responds with a heavy sigh
"If you must, I suppose. Just don't stray too far from my master, it is my unfortunate duty to guard him as he sleeps, so if you step too lengthy a distance from him, I shall have to return to him. Also, please be gentle. "

KerfuffleMach2

2011-04-07, 11:38 PM

[Main Cabin]

Alysha almost jumps for joy.

Don't worry, I'll stay right here. And I'll be nice.

And true to her word, Mtumishi gets a nice hug from the peppy vampire.

Murkus

2011-04-07, 11:42 PM

[Lakeside]

Ghar conjures up a note pad and pencil. He sketches a very basic and minimal bird.

"Hm..." He thinks a moment. The drowpire's fingers make a complex motion and the bird peels away from the page. It chirps a couple times before flying off.

"Yes, simple enough. Here." He offers the notepad and pencil to Sarah. "Draw whatever you want."

Sarah takes it happily, only momentarily mesmerized by the bird's flight. She ecstatically draws... a blob. With a bunch of little lines and circles on it.

...

Is that a shoggoth?

How do you draw a shoggoth badly?

Gullara

2011-04-07, 11:51 PM

[Lakeside]

"Now. Do as I do." He holds out his hand and does a simpler version of the hand motion he did.

"And then say this." He tells her the spoken component of the spell.

Overall it's much more complex that what she has done before.

[Kirk's Head]

Soldrin.

Hey look, it's Kirk's very favoritest person!
She sounds mildly serious at the moment, though.
Hope he's not busy.

Gullara

2011-04-08, 12:20 AM

[Kirk's Head]

Ah, just who he wanted to hear from as he was taking a walk around the camp. Oh joy.

Yes, Mistress? He replies in a less than respectful mental tone.

Murkus

2011-04-08, 12:25 AM

[Lakeside]

Sarah doesn't look intimidated by the complexity. She tries readily, failing at first, before trying again. Repeatedly.

There's a spark of magic, and the little ooze with tiny useless mouths slides off her page. It sort of crawls on her shoe and sits there contentedly.

I realize normally this'd take a lot more practice, but that'd be boring.

Chaotic Bob

2011-04-08, 12:26 AM

[Kirk's Head]

Do you know what has happened to the Empire ruling over Inside?
This is evidently a leading question. If he doesn't know, she'll be telling him.
She seems intrigued enough by...something, that she isn't even getting grumpy about his tone.

Gullara

2011-04-08, 12:41 AM

[Lakeside]

Practice is for chumps anyway.:smalltongue: Besides, Sarah must have some sort of sorceress based magic. Yeah, that's it.

"Very good." Ghar smiles slightly, pleased with her ability. "Perhaps we should teach you at a quicker pace, at least with the evocation magics. With your healing they pose little harm to you."

[Kirk's Head]

Essentially. The leadership went up in smoke and now everybody wants a piece of the pie. I imagine that includes AMEN. I'd be surprised if it didn't. Can't imagine it doesn't apply to you either. I can't say I know what other factions are involved, if any. I know GLoG sent some people to assist the wounded in Inside. Watch might do something, if they already haven't. NO could have got hired. The important player will be the Empire and AMEN though.

So the question is, what do you want me to do?

By this time Kirk has stopped walking and is staring blankly into the distance.

Chaotic Bob

2011-04-08, 12:46 AM

[Kirk's Head]

AMEN has already made their move. There is presently a rather large scale conflict between the two.
There is a moment of silence, while she considers something.
The Empire remnant have employed an interesting defense mechanism that seems to have adjusted the tide.

Does GLoG have a means of communicating with the Empire?

Murkus

2011-04-08, 12:51 AM

[Lakeside]

Yeah. Sorceress. Completely natural gift. >.>

"That'd be fine." Sarah says distractedly, stooping to pick up her new pet. She looks at the crazy little thing, which stares back with a rather dull gaze. "Do I have to feed it like a real pet, or...?"

Gullara

2011-04-08, 12:57 AM

[Kirk's Head]

Kirk shrugs, without thinking about the fact she isn't right there.

They could. It doesn't seem unreasonable. I imagine there is some sort of magic means of contacting them. Hells, they probably have a phone number. I can't imagine a group as technologically advanced as the Empire doesn't have phones.

[Lakeside]

Ghar shakes his head. "It won't need anything to eat, but you will need to sustain it another way. After twenty four hours it will return to the paper it was drawn from. You can cast the same spell on it to get it to last longer, and do the same to the paper when it returns to it."

Chaotic Bob

2011-04-08, 01:06 AM

[Kirk's Head]

The remnant will fall, if measures are not taken. I need you to look into communicating with them. Immediately.
There is a definite stress on the "immediately".
It's difficult to tell whether she speaks with urgency or excitement.

Murkus

2011-04-08, 01:10 AM

[Lakeside]

Ghar shakes his head. "It won't need anything to eat, but you will need to sustain it another way. After twenty four hours it will return to the paper it was drawn from. You can cast the same spell on it to get it to last longer, and do the same to the paper when it returns to it."

"Okay." Sarah says, nodding and looking at it happily. Of course, she'll be keeping it with her all the time now. "Thank you, Master."

The creature wiggles a little, looking lazy.

Gullara

2011-04-08, 01:35 AM

[Kirk's Head]

Of course, Mistress. And what do I do once I've found out how to contact them?

[Lakeside]

Ghar nods and smiles. "Don't forget your lesson tomorrow. I will see you then." And with that he vanishes.

Lesson will likely be off screen because I can't come up with anything interesting at the moment.

Murkus

2011-04-08, 01:39 AM

[Lakeside]

Sarah nods, blinking and staring at the vanishing, before skipping off to show everyone her new mini-shoggy!

Chaotic Bob

2011-04-08, 01:48 AM

[Kirk's Head]

I have offered the Empire my aid once, already. Previously they had no real need of my services and were confident of their position.
I believe times have changed. They have an AMEN problem and I'd be willing to aid with it.
And oh how fun it would be.

Gullara

2011-04-08, 01:59 AM

[Outside - Kirk's Head]

I see. Well then, I'll get right back to you.

The drow makes his way over to the main cabin and pulls out a huge tome. What dark arts will he be preforming to contact the Empire even through the Warlock Wheel?

Oh wait... It's the Nexus phone book. Dang is that thing big. Kirk flips through it until he gets to the turquoise pages and runs his finger along the names, looking for the number. After a few moments of this he stops.

Mistress? I've found it.

Chaotic Bob

2011-04-08, 02:06 AM

[Outside - Kirk's Head]

Beautiful. Now will it work through a zone of nullified magic?
She'll be honest here, this is a piece of intel she lacks.
Though, that's why certain other people are around.

Gullara

2011-04-08, 02:09 AM

[Main Cabin - Kirk's Head]

Yes. Through the mystical powers of phone lines. Just get a phone and call [the ISF number].

Chaotic Bob

2011-04-08, 02:13 AM

[Main Cabin - Kirk's Head]

I am surprised at times, how this city can be so advanced and primitive all at the same time.
It's always so confusing. She's danced through worlds of various technological prowess, but this one always seems to be hopping around...
Very well, then. Thank you.

Ker-click goes the metaphorical mental phone line.

Gullara

2011-04-08, 11:21 AM

[Main Cabin]

Of course. Kirk replies before the connection cuts off.

He shakes his head and mutters. "Woman doesn't even have a phone book."

He probably slips off into deadtime again. Although he plans on tracking down Din. With the infirmary fixed he can finally get on with the whole learning to heal thing.

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

Ghar is in his room, reading a massive tome as usual. He's just sitting there, completely unsuspecting.

Halae

2011-04-08, 01:52 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

If Ghar takes the opportunity to look directly upwards any time within the next 30 second, he will see a... child? An adolescent boy seems to be materializing a little at a time in the air about him. He has short brown hair and pale skin, though his eyes are closed. He can't be older than twelve. Currently, he's dressed in pants that are too large for him and a shirt that has had the left sleeve ripped off - he doesn't even have any shoes on his dirty feet.

If Ghar hasn't noticed him by the time he finishes materializing, he'll yell, "Whoa!" and likely go crashing down onto the Drowpire :smalltongue:

Gullara

2011-04-08, 02:00 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

Ghar doesn't need to bother looking up. Magic is being used near him, so he's instantly aware of it.

He glances up curiously, but then immediately goes back to his reading. when the boy falls he will find he's going forward at an angle so he misses the drowpire.

Haruki-kun

2011-04-08, 02:07 PM

[Outside Main Cabin]

Haruki approaches the door and knocks on it. Actually, knocking is a bit of an understatement. He nearly breaks it down. "HELLO! Is there anyone home?"

Halae

2011-04-08, 02:09 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

Terrance hits the floor knees first, barely managing to stop his head from hitting the wood. "Oooow..." he says, standing up. Once he's taken a good look at his knees, he'll start looking around the cabin, trying to figure out where he is.

It'll take him a moment to gather his wits and realize that there's someone else there, and that this is likely his room. Once he realizes that Ghar is there, he'll bow his head and back up a bit, holding his hands out above his head. perhaps a sign of submission where he comes from?

"I'm sorry sir! I didn't mean to intrude!"

Gullara

2011-04-08, 02:16 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

"Then perhaps you should tell me why you are here?" Ghar says without looking up from his book.

[Inside Main Cabin]

Kirk was in the cabin not long ago, so let's say he's still there. He opens the door.

"Oh hey. Haruki, right? What's up?"

Halae

2011-04-08, 02:22 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

Not even looking at him, Terrance finds this quite strange, but straightens up when asked. "I was told I could find a master here," he says simply. He seems a bit worried about this white haired blue skinned man, but isn't sure what to make of him. It's clear he wasn't some doddering scholar... He just had an air about him, like energy was at his beck and call. "Are you... a mage, Sir?"

Gullara

2011-04-08, 02:38 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

Ghar's eyes flick upward then. The book he was holding vanishes without a sound. He stands then, looking down at the boy. His red eyes study the child. No, they seem to go further. Like he's staring through him.

"I am." He answers simply.

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

The boy stares back, trying to avoid flinching. for the most part he succeeds. Interestingly, the boy also has red eyes - a deep red, the color of blood.

"Would you be willing to take me on as a student?" he asks. his voice is full of mixed determination and fear. It seems Ghar intimidates him somewhat. "I want to learn to master my power."

Gullara

2011-04-08, 02:53 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

"What talent do you have, child? Why should I take time out of my studies to teach you?" The drowpire asks. "Do you think you are worthy?"

Halae

2011-04-08, 03:01 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

He looks Ghar dead in the eye and says, "Yes, I believe I am."

"My father taught me some magic before he died. He said I was good enough to be a second circle mage" That doesn't sound terribly high in whatever hierarchy deals with this sort of thing, but it's not a first circle at least, or whatever is below that, "... and I have a special talent." he says cautiously. He knows that getting into this man's good graces is likely his only ticket to mastering magic, so he's not about to keep that 'Talent' hidden. "I... can use blood to empower spells."

Haruki-kun

2011-04-08, 03:14 PM

[Inside Main Cabin]

Kirk was in the cabin not long ago, so let's say he's still there. He opens the door.

"Oh hey. Haruki, right? What's up?"

"Hi, Kirk," says the Angel, walking in. "Listen, I need to talk to someone. I know this faction and I haven't always seen eye to eye, but I'm looking for some information on something... and GLoG is pretty much the only Good organization within the Nexus that seems both, competent and trustworthy. You got time?"

Gullara

2011-04-08, 03:25 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

Hm, interesting. Blood magic is a rare thing to have a natural talent for. It might be worth some further study.

"That is where you're mistaken. You aren't worthy, but perhaps in time you can be." He thinks a moment longer. "Very well. I will teach you. You will be joining lessons with my other apprentice."

"Now, what is your name, boy?"

[Main Cabin]

"Yeah, sure. Not sure how much I can help personally, but I can be sure to pass it on." Kirk replies.

It's not really importnat, but I should point out that Kirk is, in fact, a demon now. Fully and completely. You wouldn't know that by looking at him though.

Halae

2011-04-08, 03:30 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

"Vant. Terrance Vant, Master" he stares at Ghar for a moment longer, then bows. When he straightens back up, he asks, "May I ask who your other apprentice is? And... Where exactly I am?"

Gullara

2011-04-08, 03:39 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

"And my name is Gulaghar. But yes, it is prefered that you address me as Mater."

The drowpire assumes he is another new arrival to the Nexus. "My other apprentice is Sarah Rein. A young girl living here as well. As for where here is. This is the campsite that the Good League of Good is based out of. In the dimension called the Nexus."

Halae

2011-04-08, 03:48 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

Terrance thinks for a moment, "That makes sense. The, ah, gateway I entered to get here... It wasn't normal. My father explained dimensions to me.. does that make this a crossing point for them?"

Gullara

2011-04-08, 03:58 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

"It is." Ghar confirms. "It's more than that though. It draws thing, places and people from other dimensions. It's curious."

Morty

2011-04-08, 04:03 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Nearby]

Sophie is hanging around there. She's keeping an eye on Ghar, of course, having gotten somewhat frustrated with the lack of progress towards finding a substitute for blood for Olivia.

[Main Cabin]

Reelshka is sitting there, drawing and generally being around if anyone needs anything.

Halae

2011-04-08, 04:03 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

Terrance realizes he may want to leave his new master alone lest he draw the ancient archmage's ire. "Master when shall we begin, ah, instruction?" The young boy is trying to sound formal and sophisticated for his new teacher. it appears he doesn't have much practice with it.

Garth is outside, whittling away at some wood.

Murkus

2011-04-08, 04:09 PM

[Outside]

Sarah's wandering around happily, huggling her new pet. Which appears to be a... small blob, covered in innocent little eyes and mouths, 'flesh' the color of paper. It wriggles in her embrace.

Entrance --> Main Cabin]

A giant creature, easily ten feet in height, enters camp and approaches the cabin. He is almost completely shrouded in a huge cloak, a garment that appears to have been patched up numerous times. Several large spikes, organic flechettes of some sort, pierce through the robe and into his flesh.

Bellan's green gaze scans the camp hesitantly before he reaches out to give a short knock. Any flesh exposed on the front half of his body is very clearly burnt.

Morty

2011-04-08, 04:13 PM

[Outside]

Brinika, who is either still here or visiting, comes running to Sarah. Hi! What do you have there?

[Main Cabin]

Reelshka stands up and looks at the huge creature. Somewhat intimidated, obviously. Err... hello, may I help you?

The Bushranger

2011-04-08, 04:33 PM

Murkus

2011-04-08, 04:36 PM

[Main Cabin]

The creature gives Reelshka a studious look, gaze narrow and quiet. Though the lower half of his face is concealed by cloth, he seems to make a clicking sound with his mouth.

Bellan speaks with a humbled, strained whisper. "You may. But if you are not a medical professional, I doubt you can."

[Outside]

"I made him! It's my new pet!" Sarah says gleefuly, holding out the little blob for Brinika to see.

Gullara

2011-04-08, 04:38 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

"Later today." aka after Terrance gets organized to stay at GLoG. "I recommend you find someone to help you get settled in here. Most anyone will be able to help you. Go to the lakeside [whenever after getting settled in]. That will be when my lesson with Sarah starts."

So as soon as that is done and both you and Murkus get your characters there.

Morty

2011-04-08, 04:41 PM

[Main Cabin]

Do you require medical attention, then? Fair enough, I suppose. If you follow me, I can take you to the infirmary.

[Outside]

Now, most kids would be creeped out by the blob... but not goblin kids. Oooh. Neat. What's his name?

Halae

2011-04-08, 04:42 PM

[Rowan Cabin - Ghar's Room]

"Yes, master." Terrance says, and he'll quickly exit the room, going in search of someone that can tell him how to get himself situated. Cue someone willing to get him into GLoG

Haruki-kun

2011-04-08, 04:47 PM

[Main Cabin]

"Yeah, sure. Not sure how much I can help personally, but I can be sure to pass it on." Kirk replies.

It's not really importnat, but I should point out that Kirk is, in fact, a demon now. Fully and completely. You wouldn't know that by looking at him though.

[Main Cabin]

Haruki would probably be able to tell, but he wouldn't treat Kirk any different.

"Well, there's this weird stuff going around. See, it's sorta like..." he starts waving his arms and puffing his frame out. "But it should be like..." he gestures and puts his arms down, standing like a normal human. "And it feels like..." he sort of lowers his head and shivers. "Which makes me think it's some sort of...." he hesitates, then raises his arms as if imitating a monster for a two-year-old.

".....also, I think it concerns vampires, mostly."

Murkus

2011-04-08, 04:56 PM

[Main Cabin]

Do you require medical attention, then? Fair enough, I suppose. If you follow me, I can take you to the infirmary.

"My thanks." The lumbering Far-giant says, and will follow her rather unsteadily.

[Outside]

Now, most kids would be creeped out by the blob... but not goblin kids. Oooh. Neat. What's his name?

"I..." Sarah blinks, smile faltering. "Y'know, I don't actually know."

Morty

2011-04-08, 05:00 PM

[Main Cabin ==> Infirmary]

Reelshka will lead the huge monster to the infirmary, where hopefully someone medically inclined is currently present.

[Outside]

We should totally come up with one, then! Brinika jumps up and down excitedly.

[Rowan Cabin]

Terrance will see a fairly short, dark-skinned woman dressed in a denim jacket and jeans approach him. Welcome to the Good League of Good.

Gullara

2011-04-08, 05:00 PM

[Main Cabin]

Good old Ruki. Not a racist.

"Right..." Kirk looks puzzled, to say the least. Ruki's complex gestures confuses him. "So vampire trouble. Well, more troublesome than a vampire is at the best of times. And it's not really obvious and it gives you a bad feeling?" /attempted translation

Halae

2011-04-08, 05:03 PM

Terrance looks up at the woman, then inclines his head and says, "Hello! My master told me to join and get settled here. Are you able to help me?"

Main Cabin

Jamie steps back from putting the finishing touches on her painting.
And nods.
It'll make the perfect gift...

...when suddenly her eyes widen a bit!

And she stands there for a moment, as if listning to something only she can hear.

...and then she hustles to start collecting stuff! Various kinds of stuff.
Stuff that looks to be good for fighting undead and for interacting with ghosts, in fact. <_<

Jamie may find herself being followed around by a certain half-angel who is no longer stuck as a duck, and his doggie! "What'cha doooin?" Crae asks. He is, of course, floating upside down as he follows her.

Haruki-kun

2011-04-08, 05:07 PM

"No, no... like.... vampire trouble, right? Except the vampires weren't normal. But I knew one of them beforehand, he was normal. Except now he wasn't. Like he was possesed or something. He started shooting lightning at me!" he exclaims. "Vampires don't shoot lightning!"

Haruki looks thoughtful. "The other vampire got away, she was a normal vampire. But then later on, I found her again and now she wasn't anymore,and there was that weird presence again. Like she wasn't herself. Is any of this making sense?"

Murkus

Bellan is forced to crouch simply to get inside. I hope the ceiling is high, or the giant will probably have to stoop the entire time.

"Uh... you got any ideas?" Sarah says, not really all that good at naming things.

The mini-shoggy wriggles contentedly.

Jamie may find herself being followed around by a certain half-angel who is no longer stuck as a duck, and his doggie! "What'cha doooin?" Crae asks. He is, of course, floating upside down as he follows her.

...is that a proton pack? :smalleek:

Morty

2011-04-08, 05:12 PM

[Infirmary]

The new building is fairly large, so hopefully Bellan won't be too uncomfortable. He and Reelshka wait for a medic to show up, probably.

[Outside]

Umm... maybe Blob? Or Glop. Brinika muses.

[Rowan Cabin]

Probably. What do you require? Sophie smiles warmly. She may have a bone to pick with Ghar, but this boy looks harmless enough.

Bellan takes a heavy seat on the nearest bed, leaning forward and resting his arms on his knees. He releases a pained, weary breath, moving his gaze to study Reelshka further. Such a strange form of life.

[Outside]

"Gloopy?" Sarah suggests, looking amused and peering at her silly new pet. "I dunno. Whaddya name a blob?"

Morty

2011-04-08, 05:31 PM

[Infirmary]

So... what happened to you? Reelshka asks, mostly to break the silence.

[Outside]

Gloopy sounds nice. Brinika nods.

[Rowan Cabin]

As a student of Master Gulaghar, I think you can stay here. I'm not sure if you have to become a member. Of course, Sophie plans on evicting Ghar from the premises. But that's going to take time.

"Huh... Ghosts?" Crae hazards a guess, having sort of seen ghostbusters before, he sort of recognizes the proton pack. I think. Delilah, his dog, just sits there, green flaming tongue lolling out as she watches the scene. Pant pant pant.

Jamie nods. "Yes. Mostly friendly ghosts, though. But she says she wants to find out what one of these will do to a lich?"

Bellan clicks his mandibles again, wincing when he realizes they're a little burnt too. "I was struck by some sort of energy weapon."

He sounds impatient, saying a moment later, "Do you have a substance designed to lessen pain?"

"Gloopy it is, then!" Sarah says, hugging the little thing again. She looks at Brinika. "Did you wanna hold him?"

Pick a room in a cabin... and talk to a council member. They'll decide what do do with you.

Sure! Brinika reaches out for the little blob.

Rae Artemi

2011-04-08, 05:56 PM

Jamie nods. "Yes. Mostly friendly ghosts, though. But she says she wants to find out what one of these will do to a lich?"

"Well, if I've got my magic theory right, it might be able to suck his soul out of the phylactery. Or it could do nothing. Or you could cross the streams! That's always fun!" Crae says, grinning wide. "It's been a while since I've seen a ghost, and even longer since I've talked to one..." Which is weird, because GLoG is haunted...

((Deadtime.))

Sarah hands him off happily. Gloopy has a texture of something a little more solid than pudding, and seems to be vibrating a little. Almost purring. It's a very pleasant thing to hold, despite it's rather eery appearance. Of course, Brinika isn't bothered by that either.

[Infirmary]

Bellan snatches them from her grip rather roughly, his exposed hand shaking. The giant gulps them down swiftly, staring at the floor, clenching and unclenching his fist. "I believe I may require a higher dosage." The giant says, giving Reelshka a hard look. "Where are your healers? I was informed there would be healers here."

The Bushranger

2011-04-08, 06:18 PM

"Little Cal? But isn't he, like, Jack's now?" Yeah, Crae has no idea who Calublifolk is, let alone just Cal. Also he's referencing Homestuck for some reason, I think he's been digging around in my brain again...

"Cal the Lich. Mom won't tell me too much about him other than he's a very bad person and she's going to grind each and every one of his bones into powder," Jamie explains. Sounding proud of her mom!

((since it would be boring a tedious to talk to a leader and such, I think we can just say that Terrance moves into Room B in the Birch Lodge with Ironbeard's help))

[Outside]

Terrance, wandering the grounds to occupy himself while waiting for the lesson, stumbles upon Sarah, Brinika, and Gloopy

"What's that?" he asks, looking strangely at the tiny shoggoth

"Hmm... Well, tell her to be careful, even the gods can get in over their heads sometimes. And if she ever needs any help, well, I'm good in a fight, and so is Delilah!" Said Delilah barks happily at the mention of her name, and Crae pets her! *Pet Pet*

"Thanks, I'll tell her! But I think this is kinda personal for her," Jamie explains, giving Crae and Delilah a grin.

Rae Artemi

2011-04-08, 07:37 PM

"Thanks, I'll tell her! But I think this is kinda personal for her," Jamie explains, giving Crae and Delilah a grin.

"Nothing is too personal to refuse a little help from a friend... I think... Or maybe there are some things. Like cake. If you only have enough cake for one person, you may not want to have a friend help you with it. Unless it's a really good friend. Or someone you like, I guess..." ... From vengeance to cake, this is Crae's mind.

Terrance tilts his head to the side, and says, "You're Sarah? So you're Master Gulaghar's other apprentice, right?"

Murkus

"That's right." Sarah says, offering a big smile. An inquisitive pause follows. "Other apprentice?"

"Lotsa things! I made Gloopy with it, and I can make fire, and..." A pause. She really can't do much else. "Well, what can you do?"

Me.

2011-04-08, 09:30 PM

Tumbili undeadtimes and sneaks into the kitchen in search of more bananas, while Mtumishi simply shakes his head, pulls out a pair of spectacles and reads through a book of Shakespearean poems.

Halae

2011-04-08, 09:30 PM

Me.

2011-04-08, 10:11 PM

After vivaciously consuming a few more bananas, Tumbili decides to go outside, enjoy the scenery, and perhaps meet one of these people who could allow him to join the group.
He walks outside the door, mumbling to himself, trying to remember the names Reinholdt said the other day "Uhm....Finn, Blamerag, Shreik, Andy, and Susan" he says, ticking them off on his fingers and struggling with the names
Mtumishi then slaps his forehead as he corrects his master "No.no,no! It was Quinn, Zamira, Shrike, Andy, and Susan."
"Right!" Tumbili grins as his minion rolls his eyes

"Or if somebody hurt somebody you promised to protect," Jamie says quietly.

Rae Artemi

2011-04-08, 10:16 PM

And Crae's smile suddenly disappears... "Yeah. That's another one." He says, fists clenched. Seems that one hit home for him.

The Bushranger

2011-04-08, 10:17 PM

Jamie nods.
"Mom won't tell me everything. But I know this is that kind of personal for her. She lost a friend she'd promised to save," she says softly.

Rae Artemi

2011-04-08, 10:24 PM

"Just... Make sure she's careful. One little mistake can be fatal in these sort of things. Granted, death isn't as much here as in other places, but still..." Crae needs to cool down, or else he may do something stupid himself. So he sits and starts petting Delilah, who lays her head in his lap.

The Bushranger

2011-04-08, 10:48 PM

"Trust me. I will," Jamie says. Then sighs. "I think dad's rubbing off on mom a lot though."

Rae Artemi

2011-04-08, 10:51 PM

"Is your dad reckless or something?" Crae asks, not really seeming to be paying attention.

The Bushranger

2011-04-08, 11:01 PM

That...

Makes Jamie start giggling.

Madly.

For awhile.

...when she finally manages to compose herself, she nods.
"Um, well, does a fox move cunningly through the woods?"

Me.

2011-04-08, 11:03 PM

After wandering for a little while and not finding anyone, Tumbili decides to head back to the main cabin. He cartwheels in and then jumps into a seat. He pulls out a small notebook and begins drawing random pictures, tongue sticking out as he does so.

Rae Artemi

2011-04-08, 11:06 PM

"I dunno, am I absolutely bonkers?" That's a yes. Probably. "My... Dad was pretty reckless too. He could usually keep up with it, but in the end..."

The Bushranger

2011-04-08, 11:10 PM

"My dad will be OK. It's just that, well, I do worry about them sometimes." Jamie sighs, looking down.

Me.

2011-04-08, 11:10 PM

Tumbili chuckles at the word bonkers, then yawns and stretches a bit before curling into a giant hairy ball of black fur and falling asleep ((deatime))
After which, Mtumishi sits atop his master's shoulder, specs on, novel in hand, and having a mild interest in the conversation currently taking place.

Rae Artemi

2011-04-08, 11:14 PM

"Keep doing that, it's probably a smart idea..." Crae says, petting his doggie right into deadtime.

Haruki-kun

2011-04-08, 11:45 PM

[Main Cabin]

Kirk frowns. The whole thing is odd. "Yeah, I get what you're saying. Something's doing something to these vampires." Like shooting lightning. Man would that be kickass.

"That's weird though. Something making vampires do that can't be good."

[Main Cabin]

"It's not! And I'm trying to figure out what it is. But I don't have a clue, and I was hoping someone here might know. GLoGers tend to get involved with plotty stuff, right?"

Gullara

"Hells if I know, I'm new. But I can imagine so." Kirk looks around the cabin. Maybe someone is around that nows anything about the red mist and stuff hint hint.

Murkus

2011-04-09, 12:07 AM

[Outside]

Terrance says, "Watch this!" he mumbles something and says something under his breath, and four glowing lights show up in the air, each a different color. there's green, blue, red, and yellow, and he makes them dance through the air. Even as they move, he says, "It's not the biggest thing I can do, but it's one of the more interesting ones."

"Whoah." Sarah says, watching the lights move. "Pretty. Huh. Well, it oughta be fun learning from Gulaghar. He's really nice."

[Infirmary]

A rather large and irritable creature from the Borderlands is still here, slumped on a bed, in tremendous amounts of pain. It's a surprise he's still conscious.

Bellan looks around for someone resembling a healer or medical professional.

Halae

2011-04-09, 12:16 AM

"He seemed kind of scary to me," Terrance says. The lights will wink out soon

"I stepped through a dimension gate and nearly landed on his head." Terrance says

Murkus

2011-04-09, 12:44 AM

[Outside]

"Oh. Huh." Sarah says, somehow seeming to know what a dimension gate is despite being only six years old. "He sorta kidnapped me. Well, not really. He just wanted to know why I was so magical." She doesn't... seem to have any sort of problem with this. "But he returned me to GLoG and offered to teach me and everything, so it's fine."

[Main Cabin]

"Hells if I know, I'm new. But I can imagine so." Kirk looks around the cabin. Maybe someone is around that nows anything about the red mist and stuff hint hint.

I wouldn't wait too long. The people who know about the red mist is probably next to minimal at best. And I don't know if any of them are even at GLoG.

Mister Buttons, however, is here and is currently sneaking up on Haruki!
*sneak sneak sneak*

Haruki-kun

2011-04-09, 01:02 AM

[Main Room]

"Hmmm.... well, at any rate.... it seems like I shouldn't wait too long. I don't know if anyone in GLoG would know about this."

See, there's this problem with narration. People always assume the Fourth Wall is sound-proof. It's really not.

"I heard that. Anyway..... can you leave a message to the other GLoG people? Tell them to be on the lookout for unusual vampire activity. It looks like I'm gonna have to go ask Aurora, HALO or Watchtower. I really wanted to avoid this...."

And someone is sneaking up on him?

Gullara

2011-04-09, 01:15 AM

"Yeah, I'll let the council know." Kirk says, and starts righting out a note on the paper he got from nowhere. "See you around then?"

Hmm... Watchtower would be your best bet mister angel. I don't think the others would have a clue.
Also... *thwacks through the fourth wall for eavesdropping*

A sabretooth tiger is sneaking up to be exact. Cause that's what Mister Buttons is! No I don't know how he got in. You left the door open or something. Don't question it.
But he

*POUNCES*

at Haruki, intending to pin the angel under him.

Murkus

[Outside]

Terrance blinks at her response. Well, what more was he expecting from the girl with the pet shoggoth?

"I'll have to hear that story sometime. But... Isn't it getting close to time for our lesson?" Terrance looks up at the sky, judging what time it is from where the sun is.

"Hey, it is!" Sarah says, going to take Mr. Gloopy back from her deadtimed friend Brinika. "See you later, Brinika! I gotta go!"

With that, she sets off towards the lake at a fast pace. "C'mon!"

Halae

2011-04-09, 01:39 AM

[Outside]

Terrance will run after her. In fact, it'll probably develop into a race as they run. :smalltongue:

Murkus

2011-04-09, 01:45 AM

[Outside --> Lakeside]

Just how old is Terrance?

Cuz if he's an older kid or a teenager, I imagine his long strides carry him through. Object or no, Sarah's only so fast.

Panting a little, she looks up at him, grinning. Whatever the result, I'd imagine.

Halae

2011-04-09, 01:51 AM

[Lakeside]

He's eleven years old, so his legs aren't a whole lot longer than Sarah's, though they are longer. However, he has this honor thing his dad put in him, so he'll probably try to stay just ahead of Sarah, to make her feel like she had a good chance

In any case, they arrive! Just waiting for their esteemed master now, I guess

Gullara

2011-04-09, 02:18 AM

[Lakeside]

Them waiting for him? Don't be silly. There he is waiting for them.

Ghar looks up as the pair approach. "You've already been acquainted. Good."

"Now, first thing's first." Ghar attempts to punch through any mental defenses Terrance may have with a spike of mental force. This is to test the strength of any mental defenses he may have. This attack, for that's what it is, may cause Terrance to collapse. Now I'm not going to dictate how strong they are of course, but Ghar should probably be able to break in. >.>

Halae

2011-04-09, 02:23 AM

[Lakeside]

There's a minor mental barrier, but it's nowhere near strong enough to deal with the archmage. Still, it's above average for an adult man. Doesn't stop Terrance from falling on his face though.

Assuming it was just a quick jab, he'll get up right after, looking confused

Murkus

2011-04-09, 02:28 AM

[Lakeside]

"Master Ghar!" Sarah says, putting her little hands on her hips and huffing exasperatedly at her teacher. "That's still not nice to do."

Gullara

2011-04-09, 02:48 AM

[Lakeside]

The drowpire smiles slightly. "Perhaps not, but it is necessary."

"It's good to see that you have some mental barriers, Terrance. It'll be a good place to start. Now, before we begin, I will need to take stock of your ability. Cast three spells. Keep them varied. I will be able to get an indication of your ability from that."

Halae

2011-04-09, 02:59 AM

[Lakeside]

Terrance nods, "Right,"

He focuses for a moment, weaving his hands and mumbling quietly. it should be noted that he's turned to the side at this point. Along with his first spell there's a small flash and at the spot he points at there appears... a badger? This is no ordinary badger though - It's a Celestial Badger!

For his second spell, he waves a hand as if throwing something and a pair of blue darts made of pure force fly towards the badger. when they hit, the poor thing disappears in another flash.

For his final spell, Terrance mumbles something else and makes an uplifting motion. A concave disc made of golden force appears beside him, like a 3-foot wide bowl. He climbs in and floats in a circle around Sarah before getting off and letting it vanish

Murkus

2011-04-09, 03:04 AM

[Lakeside]

"Terrance, you didn't say you had a pet too - awww." Sarah looks crestfallen as the badger disappears. But still very impressed by the display. She giggles as he flies around, watching him complete the circle before turning to Ghar. "Awesome!"

Gullara

2011-04-09, 03:22 AM

[Lakeside]

Small scale stuff. Of course, that was to be expected, but he can work with it.

"Good good. You're a bit behind for your age, but you have some capability." Ghar really does ask a lot from his students.

"Now, I thought we'd deviate from evocation for a time and try some summoning magic." Ghar gestures for his apprentices to come nearer. "First we will try to summon a crow. They are very useful for spying and looking over far distances if you know the proper spell to link your senses."

Ghar shows them the appropriate hand motions and tells them the words.

I expect mischief to come of this spell. >.>

Halae

2011-04-09, 03:32 AM

[Lakeside]

He's teaching a pair of children how to spy on others. There's no way this won't end in mischief :smalltongue:

"Yes, Master," Terrance says formally. Oddly, the movements seem to him to be nearly the same as his first spell, just with slightly different movements.

The first time he tries the spell he stops himself half way through, then starts again. The second time though, he completes the spell, and there'll suddenly be a crow flapping it's wings in the air, much to the boy's delight. It'll then land on his shoulder, and he'll turn to Sarah and watch her, an encouraging smile on his face

Haruki-kun

2011-04-09, 10:23 AM

[Main Cabin]

"Yes,thank you that would be best. See you around."

Haruki turns around.

Sees the tiger.

Is pounced.

His expression doesn't look scared, merely surprised as he's pinned to the ground. And then, "OH! What a cute tiger!" He starts petting the animal.

Gullara

2011-04-09, 11:50 AM

[Main Cabin]

Kirk nods and leaves Ruki with the tiger. He finishes writing the note and sticks it on the message board that the Main Cabin totally has.

Be on the lookout for unusual vampire activity.

Morty

2011-04-09, 12:57 PM

[Main Cabin]

Reelshka is examining the message board. Unusual vampire activity... does that mean vampires who don't suck blood out of people? They had two such vampires here. Whoever left this message was being unclear.

Sophie is sitting by her cabin, looking a bit distressed.

"So cute and cuddly!" Haruki puts his arms around the beast's neck and hugs it tightly for a moment, then gets up. "How did you people even come across such a cool animal? Why's he here?"

The Bushranger

2011-04-09, 05:45 PM

"He's my dad's animal companion," Mikani observes, as she buzzes over to Haruki and Mister Buttons.

The angel, more than likely, still pinned by the big cat.

2011-04-09, 09:43 PM

Tumbili undeadtimes and jumps at the sight of the large jungle cat. He smiles, happy to finally see another animal, he will then make an attempt to go over to it, perhaps hug it or pet it, maybe even communicate with it....

Murkus

2011-04-09, 10:06 PM

[Lakeside]

"Cool! 'Nother pet!" Sarah says, mostly joking. She watches how Terrance does it, returning the smile, before attempting the spell herself.

It takes two or three tries. She finds pulling something from another place to be more difficult than her prior practice.

There's a strange noise, and a crow simply unfolds out of space on her shoulder. The bird, once fully expanded, gives a raucous caw.

The little blonde grins at the pair of them, reaching up to pet her crow. It pecks at her hand, but she doesn't seem to care.

[Infirmary]

There is a ten-foot alien here, passed out on one of the beds. His strange legs and feet are handing off the end, the cot bending beneath his weight. He does not appear to be sleeping peacefully, perhaps in pain, and his burnt face might help one make note of this.

Reinholdt

2011-04-09, 10:26 PM

Meanwhile, Quinn and Mikani return, presumably with ghost!Irene accompanying them.

"This is a pretty nice place you got here." Irene's always been fond of nature.

[Main Cabin]

"So cute and cuddly!" Haruki puts his arms around the beast's neck and hugs it tightly for a moment, then gets up. "How did you people even come across such a cool animal? Why's he here?"

Tumbili undeadtimes and jumps at the sight of the large jungle cat. He smiles, happy to finally see another animal, he will then make an attempt to go over to it, perhaps hug it or pet it, maybe even communicate with it....

Mister Buttons looks at the monkey curiously. Then looks at Mikani, clearly hopeful.
Can he eat it? Can he can he please?!

The Bushranger

2011-04-09, 10:42 PM

[Main Cabin]

The Angel is actually free by now*. He's just petting the Tiger. "Oh, hi, Mikani. Your dad's huh? Yeah, Animal companions are nice. Who's your dad?"

*((Reinholdt is away and said it was OK.))

Mister Buttons looks at the monkey curiously. Then looks at Mikani, clearly hopeful.
Can he eat it? Can he can he please?!

Ah.
"Tobias Druid," Mikani says proudly, before giving Mister Buttons a 'don't eat the monkey but I'll give you a good fish' look!

"This is a pretty nice place you got here." Irene's always been fond of nature.
"I'd like to think so. It's been somewhat...stressful, at times," Quinn admits with a sigh. "I hope things have calmed down some now though..."
Pfft. As if.

Reinholdt

2011-04-09, 10:45 PM

[Main Cabin]

Mister Buttons practically snubs Misaki when he turns back to look at Tumbili. :smallannoyed:

With hungry eyes. It's been forever since he's had a live monkey.
Literally.
Why is eating small critters always frowned upon here? WHY?! :smallmad:

[Outside]

"Oh?" Irene asks, wondering what Quinn meant. And where she's going to be set down. She'll have to figure out how to move around on her own over time or something.

Me.

Gullara

2011-04-09, 10:49 PM

Reinholdt

2011-04-09, 10:52 PM

Tumbili then remembers his manners, having forgot them originally. He bows to the tiger, and while kneeling will attempt to communicate with it telepathically
Forgive me, mighty and powerful beast, my manners left me momentarily. My name is Tumbili, I am a monkey spirit, and I was wondering if you would allow me to pet you?

A spirit? Huh? Well... if he can't eat the strange critter... he guesses pets would be alright. But only because he recognizes Mister Buttons as superior.
Mister Buttons straightens a bit to look as regal as he can.

Me.

2011-04-09, 10:57 PM

Tumbili smiles to himself and chuckles a little. Able to pretty much tell the animals thoughts, he responds,
While technically I am a spirit, yes, I am in a physical form. So while you could not eat me, you could eat my body. But, I'd just find another, so. Anyways, thank you for permitting me to pet you, and you do not have to try to look more impressive, you look just fine to me, else I wouldn't have come over. But thank you nonetheless.
He will then sit next to the animal and begin petting it.
By the way, what is your name?

Reinholdt

2011-04-09, 11:01 PM

[Main Cabin]

Mister Buttons blinks as everything flies over his head.
... What? :smallconfused:
Maybe he is giving permission for Mister Buttons to eat him? He'd like that.

And his name is Reinholdt! :smallsmile:
Reinholdt purrs at the pets.

ThePhantom

Outside

Marley, getting by using a broom for a cane, heads for the lake. Then he spots the ghost of Irene.

"What in the world?"

Me.

2011-04-09, 11:06 PM

Tumbili shakes his head, in a cheerful manner and says to Mister Buttons
Never mind clearly seeing he'd get no where with an explanation. so instead, he just continues petting him
After a few minutes of that, he climbs up the wall to the ceiling, hangs from a rafter with his tail, and falls asleep, ((deadtime)) Mtumishi following him and responding with a sighed "I hate it when he does that."

Reinholdt

2011-04-09, 11:09 PM

[Main Cabin]

Hey now, Mister Buttons name is Reinholdt!
But doesn't really care what you call him so long as pets are forthcoming.
*purr purr purr*

[Outside]

"Umm... hello."
Man... talk about awkward...

ThePhantom

2011-04-09, 11:14 PM

Outside

Yah, considering that Marley was the dude who Cal first showed that he had takeover Irene.

"Would someone explain what's going on here?"

Murkus

2011-04-09, 11:16 PM

[Lakeside]

Ghar nods. "Very good. Now, for the more difficult part. A summoned crow is of little use unless you can communicate with it. Even that is limited. So as I mentioned before, linking your senses with the bird is a common practice. It's a much more difficult spell though."

He shows them the hand motions for this spell and then tells them the words.

Sarah probably sets about practicing, in that case. Unless Terrance shows some advanced aptitude, the little blonde will probably have to practice a while before she makes a connection.

A few minutes later, there's a rather odd popping sound, and Sarah blinks. "This is sorta weird."

The Bushranger

2011-04-09, 11:16 PM

Outside, approaching the Main Cabin

"I had to be President for awhile. It wasn't fun. Oh, hello Marley. Marley, meet Irene. Irene, this is Marley. He's one of our members here," Quinn says with a weary smile.

She'll put Irene's anchor in a safe place in the main cabin! Wouldn't want it getting damaged.

"If it makes you feel any better, I'm probably not possessed by evil spirits."

"In the other evil spirits way."

"Not that I'm an evil spirit or anything! I mean I'm a spirit and everything, but not evil!"

"I'm going to shut up now."
