Heaven's Exiles (Mercenary Guild)

[Dark_Wind]

((Gemini, I chucked my sword at you and then teleported. You need to post your reaction to the energy sword hurtling towards your face...))

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

O.k.
He grins.and charges foward aiming his sword for geminis gut and his dagger at his neck

[Gemini]

((OOps, sorry.)) The sword sinks into Gemini's left arm, showing no blood. "Very good, yes, yes." Gemini's sword lands in his hands and creats a stunning explosion around him before Mourn could reach him.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn is blasted back by the explosion ,but lands with his feet under him and casts swift invisibility and charges again,aiming for a lowblow

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal reappears in the aftermath of the explosion, mindblade in hand. He is standing directly opposite Mourn, with Gemini between them. He dashes forward, blade out in front, and slashes at Gemini's shoulder.

[Gemini]

Gemini resumes his postition. He charges at Dougal, blocking the swings and slashing at him, unaware of Mourn.

[AmberVael]

Aesa appears in the guild, her bloodlust far from sated. She glares at the fighters, then lets go of Zchiz. Do as you please, Zchiz. The mad axe cackles and flies towards Mourn with lethal intent, while Aesa walks towards Gemini.

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal ducks deftly beneath Gemini's attack at the last moment, rolling past him and bring his mindblade across Gemini's side as he does so.

[Gemini]

While fighting Gemini says, "Aesa, help these two with their training, fight me." Gemini quickly notices Dougal's mindblade, and grabs the edge of it, trying to take it from him.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn continues his lowblow attacks

[AmberVael]

Aesa snarls and she shifts position to an odd stance. Her left arm is across her body, hovering over her right hip, while her other hand is held straight down her left leg. She watches the fight carefully.
Zchiz the mad axe flies and swings itself towards Mourn's neck.

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal releases his weapon as Gemini grabs for it, and it vanishes. He finishes his roll and regains his feet, and the blade reappears in his hand. He thrusts it forward at Gemini's gut immediately.

[Gemini]

Mourn slices at Gemini's legs, only to slice them open, revealing no blood, but light instead. "Nice shot, but I now know where you are." gemini takes a full swing at Mourn, and spins around afterwards. Windfall implaes Gemini's chest, but it soon becomes absorbed, leaving Dougal open again to another slash by Gemini.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

mourn narrowly avoids the slice,and a thin line i blood appears in the swords wake,he then attempts to doublr slash at geminis neck

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal's stab meets with naught but air, Gemini's spin having taken him out of the weapon's path. He jumps back to recover from the miss and splits his blade into two smaller swords.

[AmberVael]

As Gemini spins around, Aesa's hand flicks up with a revolver in less than a second, firing all six shots at the guildmaster's head, while also slinging five Lightning Bolts at him.
Zchiz crackles with lightning as the axe moves to swing again.

[Gemini]

Gemini blocks both swords with one hand. "Use more strength Mourn!" Gemini then attempts to slash at both dougal and Mourn simltaneously. Gemini looks at all six shots, and catchs 5. The last one hits him in the head, no blood.
((Try to use better grammer, please.))

[AmberVael]

((What about the lightning bolts?))

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

(sorry,i hit r instead of e)
Mourn back flips over the blade and throws the dagger at gemini and grabs the sword in both hands and stabs aiming for his spine

[DarkSetzer]

(*cough* Its grammAr...*cough*))

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal raises the mindblade in his left hand to parry Gemini's blow. He succeeds, but the impact of Gemini's blade against his sends him to his knees. He leaps to his feet, throwing his other mindblade at Gemini as he does so to cover his recovery.

[AmberVael]

((Mourn, if you would respond to MY attacks towards you, I would be happy as well.))

Zchiz swings towards Mourn's head again, while Aesa growls and summons three swords made out of force to attack Gemini.

[Gemini]

Gemini laughs. He dodges the thrown blade and attaemtps to kick Mourn back. He then shoots seven small, blasts of lightning from his fingers, up into the air. They curve around and attack different people. 2 after Aesa, 3 after Dougal, and 2 after Mourn. gemini then charges the prone Dougal. Jumping up in the air, then reappearing behind him with a sword slash. After, he jumps of the walls, firing light cannons at everyone while evading the force blades.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

((Oh!sorry, i thought you were attacking gemini*smacks head*))
Mourn blocks the axe with his sword and atempts to head butt gemini,but gets kicked so it falls short

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn takes the missles because he is too distracted

[DarkSetzer]

Kethemar walks back into the building and communicates telepathically to Gemini, "Please, I ask that you assign someone else to this job... I fear that I am not right for it... I cannot bear the thought of committing the acts asked of me." Kethemar then falls into a player induced coma.

(Sorry, I must be off for the night)

[AmberVael]

Aesa's ring suddenly becomes active, and one of the lightning blasts simply flies through her as she turns ethereal, and the other crackles against a magical ward around her. She dodges the light cannon with as much skill as Gemini himself. Wanting to fight a norn is not something I see often in someone. Are you suicidal, Gemini? She directs her blades of force after Gemini while adding two more to their number and turning invisible and undetectable.

[Gemini]

Gemini yells, "That is fine! You can let the job go! Join us in training, help those three fighting me." He says as he jumps to another wall. He looks over to Aesa. "This is not suicidal when you have not even used your natural magic yet, or your real power for that fact. I like to strengthen my guildmembers."

[Dark_Wind]

((Dougal isn't prone. ALso... way too much activity for one post))

Dougal spins away from the first two lightning bolts, and ducks under the third. He turns around just in time to wheel away from Gemini's sword, but the blade catches his arm, and his sleeve begins to turn red. As Gemini makes for the wall, Dougal ducks into a shadowed corner and disappears, relinquishing his mindblade.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

mourn continues to parry the axe and uses his boot to kick the dagger up into the air and catchs it

[AmberVael]

((You know, Gemini, even a god would have a little difficulty with the number of spells Aesa has been hurling at you, and I STILL want to know what happened to my five lightning bolts.))

Aesa, still invisible and undetectable, flies towards Gemini's side and strikes at him with a fist that could shatter armor. Zchiz flies away from Mourn and suddenly vanishes as Aesa catches it.

[Gemini]

Gemini jumps down from the wall, taking any and most slashes from the force blades, winceing a little. 3 lightning bolts rip off his left arm, but soon to be regenerated. "Are you done, Dougal? That is fine. I will finish this now..." Gemini's armor turns golden and creates a double. Both become faded (cannot be detected and invisible) and slash at Mourn and Aesa. A voice sounds from the center. "I will not use Craos on you."

((Sorry, trying to keep track of 3 people's postings, sorry about that. Being that we are now both invisible and undetectable, that means we can see each other, right?))

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn parrys with his dagger and slashes left with the long sword but reverses his momentum and stabs(feint)

[Gemini]

The doppelganger breaks past the parry, trying to knock Mourn to the ground.

[AmberVael]

((No. It means neither of us can see each other.))
Aesa dodges the blow easily, then flies towards the opposite end of the room. She casts Ghost Sound to create her voice next to where Gemini was when she punched him. Oh no. I do not know where you are. Whatever will I do? She casts Acid Meteor Swarm (acid instead of fire damage) to cover almost the entire hall with fire, then fills the gaps with two Resounding Thunder.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn side steps a the knock down while leaving his sword in the path the doppleganger

[Dark_Wind]

"I'm not done yet" Dougal whispers from his vantage point in the rafters. He pulls a bomb from his belt pouch, lights it, and hurls it towards where he last saw the two Geminis. He then drops down and calls forth Windfall.

[Gemini]

The hall explodes in light, and Gemini becomes visible and one again, holding off the meteors and lightning bolts, absorbing them into his arm, and channeling them through his sword. He plants the sword in the ground, and the atmosphere becomes incapable of life, and slows down all other movement. "That is enough.... very nice, all of you...you did well." Gemini's armor does not shine gold anymore. Gemini repairs all damage to the guild and walks into his office.

((Getting off now, man that was fun!))

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

((wow...that was hectic))
Mourn sits where he his standing and pants

[AmberVael]

((Gemini, you underestimate this character. I am willing to challenge you in the arena, allowing you your divine ranks, just to show you.))
Aesa growls after him. I am not done with you!

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal coils his right hand and relaxes it. He then vanishes and reappears in his quarters, where he removes a healing salve from his pouch and applies it to the wound on his left arm before going to bed.

[AmberVael]

Aesa snarls and flings herself into her chair at her desk before simply lighting it on fire and watching it and all her papers burn.

[Destro_Yersul]

((See, this is why Destro is nice to Aesa))

[Gemini]

((Yes but see, Aesa can't get everything she wants when she is pissy, she should keep that in mind.))

[AmberVael]

((Aesa cannot get everything, but she can get quite a bit.))
Aesa stares at the ashes of her desk, still angered.

[Gemini]

((I know, but I am just saying, I don't want her attacking other members, that can really hurt the guild. Nexttime will be different.)) Gemini sighs and sits in his office.

[AmberVael]

((It was your choice to hire a psychotic norn with the occasional bloodlust.))

[Romulus]

Romulus appears and looks around.

"You ok?"

[Gemini]

((yea, I guess it is my duty to sustain her bloodlust. I saw what happened in the bar, she was like sad...)) Gemini walks out and enters the main room. "Hello there Romulus, how are you?"

[AmberVael]

Does it look like I am ok? Aesa flashes him a red tinged glance.

[Gemini]

"It's ok, Aesa please calm down. If you want to train with me to cool off, come." Gemini holds a stern face and draws his sword.

[AmberVael]

Aesa seems colder and sullen at the moment, rather than extremely angered. Go back to your duties, Gemini. You are neither wanted nor needed here.

[Gemini]

Gemini smirks. "Why? I saw you in trogs, that woman singing....something happened. You were fine before that..."

[AmberVael]

Get your nose out of my life before I cut it off! Aesa is getting angry again.

[Gemini]

"I have every right, I must know my members past life. If want, come at me."

[AmberVael]

You have no right that I do not give you. True, you can throw me out of the guild if I refuse, but that is a price I am willing to pay. Aesa glares at him, lightning tingling around her hand.

[Gemini]

"I shall not throw you out of the guild. You might have your own reasons for being secretive, but that does not mean I cannot know. Something is bothering you."

[AmberVael]

I agree with that. Aesa glares at him. But I get this feeling that it is you. Get out of my face.

[Gemini]

Gemini shrugs. "Let me know when you get better." Gemini walks up to the altar.

[AmberVael]

Aesa turns back to contemplating her burnt desk.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn gets up from the floor and heads to the infirmary to heal up and take a much needed nap

[AmberVael]

Aesa thinks about shooting a few lightning bolts at Mourn, but decides not to.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn walks out of the infirmary looking a lot better,he then looks down at his slashed and burnt clothing,
Looks i need new equipment
he heads for the armory

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn walks out of the armory looking a lot more kitted out and walks up to geminis office door

[Gemini]

The door opens, "yes?"

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Oh,just wondering of there any jobs that need doing

[Gemini]

Gemini looks down at his lavishly decorated desk. "Nope. Not now, you can do as you please."

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

If you need me Iwill be at trogs
he closes the door and begins to head toward the exit,keeping an eye on Aesa in case she decides to hurl a lightining bolt at him

[AmberVael]

Aesa gets up and goes to her room.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames appears in front of Aesa. Aesa, can I have a quick word?

[Gemini]

"Ok, you know where to find me."

[AmberVael]

Aesa glares at Iames. No.

[Gemini]

Gemini walks into the room with Iames. "Oh, hello Mr. Iames. I see that you are currently talking with Aesa, I need to talk with you when you are done." Gemini walks back into the main room.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames sighs. Look, I don't know the specifics, but Vera is feeling awful and it has something to do with the link between the two of you.

[AmberVael]

She will get over it. Aesa keeps walking to her room.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Is there anything that can be done to make her feel better faster?

[Romulus]

Romulus vanishes.

[AmberVael]

Not really. Maybe if she had spent more time with Seid than with swords she would be able to deal with it.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames winces slightly at her words, but nods. Alright. Good day. He goes into the main room. You wanted to speak with me, Gemini?

[AmberVael]

Aesa goes into her room.

[Gemini]

"Oh yes, that. I do not think I gave you the amulet that contacts me, did I? Or do you not need it?" Gemini waves his hand and an amulet appears in his hand.
((Dinner, be right back.))

[Lord Iames Osari]

I don't think I'll need it. I can send a telepathic message to anyone I've ever met, no matter where they are, and they can respond.
After a while, Iames says, Listen, I really need to be going. Feel free to send me a telepathic message. He disappears.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn enters the guild carrying his severed hand and growls,
That fool, if i ever run across him again I'll run him through with my sword for taking of my hand,that bed had better be able to reattach my hand

[Gemini]

"Ok, goodbye!"

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn drops his hand in his rage and screams as he accidently tries to pick his hand up with the stump

[Gemini]

Gemini walks over to Mourn and heals him, regenerating his hand.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn looks at gemini with a confused look

thanks...you didn't need to do that,i of could just gotten a potion from the armory,but,erm,thanks

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn flexes his repaired hand and picks up his old one
Might need this later
he puts the severed hand into his bag of holding
Well now,I've got a bit of venting to do
he heads towards the training room and trains for a long time

[DarkSetzer]

Kethemar snaps out of his player induced coma and looks around, noting that pretty much everyone is gone. He sighs and flies up into the air, hovering in a medatative position, waiting for someone to return and give him a job.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra walks in and doesn't see Aesa so she goes to the room that she was using and collects up her remaining things and goes back outside.

[AmberVael]

Aesa comes back out of her room, looks at her burnt desk, then walks outside.
[hr]
Aesa appears in the guild and recreates her desk and papers with magic, then sits down.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn steps out of the training room looking sweaty and exhausted,
Now I'm feeling better
he heads to hisroom and takes a nap

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn wakes from his nap and leaves the guild

[AmberVael]

Aesa gets up from her desk and goes outside.

[DarkSetzer]

Kethemar falls gently to the ground and exits the building.

[Gemini]

Gemini walks into his office.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn walks into the guild.

[Gemini]

Gemini walks out. "Hello there, Mourn. How are you?"

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

I'm great,had a few ales,vented abit and i've gotten used to the new hand,by the way got any jobs for me?I'm Kind of getting bored.

[Gemini]

"Go ask the police for help, or you could go to the temple of Inari for help. You could also train with the guild members, or wander about the town for things."

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Ask the cops or the preistfor help?Meaning what?
((what do mean,ask them to help the guild in the future?))

[Gemini]

((No, they hired us for numerous stuff. Just go there and help them out with cases or things.))

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

((O.k))
O.K,I'll go ask around,If they dont need my help I will try to recruit people

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn leaves the guild

[Admiral One]

Erdan walks into the church and looks around. He finds the hatch and descends into the meeting room, then looks around. He doesn't touch anything and walks towards the main hallway.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn enters the guild and see's Erdan,
What are you doing in here?

[Gemini]

Gemini walks over to him. "Ah, hello there, are you joining our guild today?"

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn see's gemini and ignores the man,
Master Gemini,the police station has made all guild members permanent deputies wich means that we may practice Vigilantism with being prosicuted,I have still got to talk to the temple and will do so soon

[DarkSetzer]

Kethemar appears in the main room as a small gust of wind rushes through a window. He takes a seat and rests his head against the wall.

[Gemini]

"I see, thank you very much, Mourn. You are a very big help."

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

I think I'll head off to trogs,by the way,am i allowed to recruit people?

[Gemini]

"yes, here. Take this and let them read over these papers (The rules) and give them a badge if they agree. Just wave your hand and the papers should appear in your hand." ((Just have them copy a badge from your sig too))

[Admiral One]

((sorry, was eating))
Erdan looks at Gemini.

"Yes, I am. Are you in need of people?"

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Ok,I'll try to recruit people before i head to the temple
He nods and leaves

[Gemini]

Gemini smiles at Erdan. "Yes, we are in need of members." Gemini waves his hand and a stack of papers appear in his hand. "Here, read these over."

[Admiral One]

Erdan's eyes skim the text rapidly, but he still reads every word.

((is it the rules?))

[Gemini]

((Yes, those are the rules.))

[Admiral One]

"Well, I am banned from an entire kingdom; my only possibly living relatives consist of my father who I never met and my half-sister who I haven't seen since she was born. I have no patron god, but I tend to lean towards St. Cuthbert simply because of the whole thing about justice. I am true neutral, work in Trog's and have a ship. That work?"

[DarkSetzer]

Kethemar sits up and chuckles, "I dont think it really matters... So long as you want to be in the guild, you're welcome in my eyes..."

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal awakens and leaves the guild out the front entrance.

EDIT: Some time later, Dougal returns to the Guild hall, bloodied, weary, and burned. He quaffs a healing potion, which handles the worst of his wounds, and passes out on his bed from fatigue and pain alike.

[Gemini]

"That is fine, Erdan, you're welcome to the guild. Please feel free to take a bed in the lounge and take anything you like from the weapons and equipment room. Welcome to the Heaven's Exiles. You should show me your ship sometime." ((You can take a badge from my sig.))
Gemini walks into the lounge and over to Dougal. He waves his hand and his wounds are fully healed. He walks upstairs.

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal awakes shortly. Reah? I'm healed... Ah. Must have been the guildmaster. He stands, strecthes out, and walks to the armory to replenish his supplies before heading out the door.

[Lord Sidereal]

A tall, handsome celestial enters. His hair is like golden silk, his eyes like emeralds. His body a heaving mass of golden muscle, he announces in a rough, peasent accent "I'm back."

[Gemini]

Gemini stops Dougal on the way out. He then looks at the newcomer. "Who are you? Do you want to join?"

[Lord Sidereal]

"Its me guv, Cain! Well Cable now.... I "inherited" a body for a bit, trying to avoid military service in the nine hells n thought i might pop in and see if there's anyway I could be of assitance"

[Gemini]

"Do you plan on re-joining?"

[Lord Sidereal]

"I'm guessin' so. Need a bed and something to do, and I'm guessing my new powers will be of some help to you. Have we any cases at the moment?"

[Gemini]

"Yes, we have alot at the moment. Go take a bed in the lounge and you know the rules, welcome back." ((You can take a badge from my sig.))

[Lord Sidereal]

"Thanks guv. I'll be back in a bit to lend a hand, got one more thing I need to take care of though"

[Gemini]

"Fine, go on."

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal appears. "Hello, sir. That wound I had, I ran into Aloysius and Jonnadiah in Trog's. They got away. I did try to apprehend them but-" He turns to Cable. "Hullo, who are you?"

[DarkSetzer]

Kethemar sighs and stands, he searches out gemini. "Is there anything I can do?"

[Gemini]

"Wait a minute, who is this Aloysius? And who is this Jonnadiah?" Gemini then turns to Kethemar. "Yes, hold on a second."

[Dark_Wind]

"Jonnadiah's that mage the Police are after. He has a companion called Aloysius, apparently. They were causing havoc in Trog's when I showed up."

[Gemini]

"What happened?!?! Did you capture them?"

[Dark_Wind]

"With a burn like that, it was all I could do to get back here. No, I didn't capture then. They ran off. I managed to wound Aloysius, but he'll recover. [relates the story]"

((http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31270&page=10))

[Gemini]

"Ah, I see.... no matter, keep looking."

[Dark_Wind]

"Who was that I passed on the way in here, by the way? New member?"

[Lord Sidereal]

Cable returns "Right lads, I'm ready to start earnin' my keep. Gemini, where can I find our missions?"

[Dark_Wind]

"Nevermind..." Dougal turns to Cable. "Hullo, I've not seen you around here before. Who are you?"

[Gemini]

"I have a job for you and Kethemar. Stick together and find him. Bring him here once you get him. I will then call an officer from the station to come get him, but bring him here."
((Look on the first page of the police station.))

[DarkSetzer]

"Who is it that I am looking for? A name would be nice..."

[Gemini]

"His name is the Hawk. Well, his double. He killed an officer and is on the run. Go find him and bring him here."

[Dark_Wind]

((Yokata is Hawk's double. The one you're actually after is Yokata. Just saying. Hawk's a cop.))

[DarkSetzer]

"Right, I will get right on it." He turns and takes flight, leaving through the roof.

(W00t...two of my characters are now hunting wanted people!! To bad this is my last post until later)

[Gemini]

((Ok yes. yokata.))

[Dark_Wind]

((And one of your characters is hunting another of your characters... lol))

[Gemini]

((Really? no.))

[Dark_Wind]

((Setzer has another character, operating independantly of both the police and the guild, who is hunting Jonnadiah and Aloysius.))

[Gemini]

((Oh, ahahhaha.))

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn enters the guild and finds a chair and sits

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn says,
I need some practice to burn off those ales,a fat assassin wuld never get any work
He stands up and draws his weapons,
Any one up for a bit of practice?

[Lord Sidereal]

Cable, having returned from the hunt ((player was offline)) appears. I'll spar with you!

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Good
Mourn casts swift invisiblity and charges aiming his sword for his throat and his dagger at his wrist

[Lord Sidereal]

Cain activates his torc of antimagic before batting the blows away with a deft, duelist like motion with his twin swords, Fugue and Requiem. Chuckling slightly, he feints to the left before slashing at Mourn's face. If the blow succeds, it will do no damage save for tearing Mourn's veil off.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn dodges out of the feint at the last possible second and and jumps backwards,he then throws his dagger at Cain and grips his sword in 2 hands and kicks aiming for Cains groin and slashes at his gut

[Admiral One]

Erdan wakes up from a player induced coma, and looks around a bit more before leaving.

[Gemini]

((Gotta go. Be back later.))

[Lord Sidereal]

Cable flies up at tremendous speed, avoiding Mourn's assualt. He switches from antimagic to true seeing to combat mourn's invisibility and casts quickened telekinesis to try and iniatite a grapple. As Mourn is distracted with the TK attack, Cain weaves a few ancient rnes in the air and summons a 12 headed hyrda.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn slips out of the grapple and sees the hydra,
Great
he drinks a potion and and calls his dagger back to his hand and fly/charges Cable

[Lord Sidereal]

Cable winks out of existence for the briefest moment, before reappearing, DBZ style, over Gorad's head. Bringing all 800kg of well oiled celestial down upon Mourn.
((got to go))

[McBish]

((Just to remind you, the Hawk whoes double you are hunting is a winged halfling not Hawk the officer. Different Hawk. Just to make sure you knew.))

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

((cool,I'll just end it))
Cable tackles mourn and mourn gors hurtling into a table and accidentally drops his weapons,he see' the hydra charge him and shouts,
I yeild
he untangles him self from the tabe and gathers his weapons,
Iwill have a rematch
he walks into the training room and practices

[AmberVael]

Aesa teleports into the guild and sits down at her desk, humming to herself. She seems to have gained a scar along her arm and a few items about her person. A pair of earrings that match her eyes dangle from her ears, and she is wearing two dark, silvery rings.

[Gemini]

Gemini enters the main room.

[Admiral One]

Erdan 'ports in and runs into the weapons' room.

[AmberVael]

Aesa begins writing something, still humming a war song.

[Admiral One]

Erdan walks out, carrying 2 bows and a couple of extra rapiers. He is arming his hand crossbow and nods to Aesa before 'porting out.

((oh, and Erdan should probably be a scout, what with Trog's and the ship))

[DarkSetzer]

Kethemar flys through the roof and lands, he approaches Gemini, "No luck with this hawk person you speak of... Although I did see an odd sight at the docks... An odd man in a crimson robe set the docks on fire, then someone else showed up and they started fighting... Did not one of those mages you seek where crimson?"

[AmberVael]

Aesa looks at the offline Gemini, then nods to Kethemar. He was. Can you describe him more fully?

[Gemini]

"Is he still there? What else did he look like?"

[DarkSetzer]

"I cant give much detail... As I was flying by rather quickly... But here goes nothing... He was average height, red hair, crimson robe... And I think he had a staff... a black one... Thats the best I got from where I was. And yes, he was still there when I left..."

[Gemini]

"Ok, I'll go there myself. My doppelganger saw some zombies. That might be related to them." Gemini disappears.

[AmberVael]

Aesa yawns and flicks her new earrings casually.
[hr]Verdandi comes in, looks around, then goes straight to Aesa. Aloysius has been sighted and has a few more charges. Can you scry for him? Aesa shrugs. The guildmaster went after him. He teleported to the docks. The vala waves her magic rod and opens a portal. Go for it. Verdandi shakes her head and runs through.
[hr]Aesa looks up and snarls, then teleports away.
[hr]Verdandi is teleported into Aesa's room. She is burnt by both fire and spell energy.
[hr]Aesa teleports into her room and waves a hand over Verdandi, one of her newly acquired rings glowing as Verdandi heals instantly. You okay? Verdandi nods weakly, the released spell energy still taking a toll on her. Aesa sighs and sits next to her. I did not realize that things were going to go that badly for you... wait. Where is your breastplate? Verdandi looks to one side. I have not been wearing it. It gets in the way. Aesa gives her a piercing look, then shakes her head. Go back to the station and report. Maybe you can get a job as a secretary. Verdandi is confused by this, but goes ahead and leaves.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko enters the guildhouse, looking around

[AmberVael]

Aesa senses someone entering the building and does a quick scrying. She smiles as she sees who it is, and debates letting him search the building himself.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

After a moment, Hiko's eyes flick straight up to where Aesa looks at him. He waves, grinning

[AmberVael]

Aesa teleports into the main part of the building and leans against her desk. She waves at Hiko, grinning back at him. Finally got around to looking for me, hm?

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko frowns

I would have sooner... Well... Yeah... I have no really good excuse, I guess...

[AmberVael]

Aesa pouts. What, am I boring you? Is it not worth your while to be around me?

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko raises an eyebrow

I DID come looking for you, y'know...

[AmberVael]

Perhaps I need to do something so I can get you to come running to me? Something to make myself more interesting? Aesa grins and twirls her magic rod thoughtfully.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko raises an eyebrow, a grin playing his lips

One of the best things about being with you... Never a dull day.

[AmberVael]

Aesa's eyes gleam and she grins at him. There is a subtle shift in her features as she stands up and walks over to him. However, its extremely hard to place what exactly changed. Its definitely an attractive change, whatever she did. Aesa puts her arms around his neck and smiles at him.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko grins, kissing her

What'd you do?

[AmberVael]

You'll see. Aesa traces the line of his jaw with a finger, smiling at him.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko raises an eyebrow

When?

[AmberVael]

Aesa does not answer, but instead tilts her head and softly kisses him on the neck.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko sighs

This isn't gonna end up killing me, is it?

[AmberVael]

Of course not... Aesa looks him in the eyes, smiling a very wide smile that fully displays her canine teeth, which are far longer and more pointed than normal.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko raises an eyebrow

Vampire?

[AmberVael]

There is no fun in being dead, Hiko. Aesa pulls him a little closer.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko smiles

Good... Cuz the necrophilia thing is pretty unapealing.

[AmberVael]

Aesa chuckles and kisses him on the neck again, then very lightly presses her canine teeth against where she kisses, not yet hard enough to penetrate his skin.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko raises an eyebrow

Certainly vampire-like, though.

[AmberVael]

You won't mind. Aesa slowly sinks her fangs into his neck. Oddly, its not painful at all. In fact, it feels pleasurable.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko grins, closing his eyes

Just don't kill me... Or turn me into something...

[AmberVael]

Aesa gives a small noise of assent as she drains a little blood from him. Not much, but enough for it to be noticeable. She places a hand on the other side of his neck.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko sways, lightheaded

Aye... Slow down there, Selene.

[AmberVael]

Aesa restores Hiko's blood to its normal amount with a spell and pulls her head away from his neck, raising an eyebrow. Selene? She licks her lips, tasting the blood on them.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko shrugs. A female vampire from some fictional story I've read. Sorry, somewhat obscure reference. He blinks a few times after the blood is returned. What'd you turn yourself into, anyway?

[AmberVael]

Its a sort of vampiric demon I have seen before. They're very good at their job. Aesa leans in to bite him again.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko grins, exposing his neck

Does this mean I'm going to be some sort of vampiric demon now?

[AmberVael]

Not unless you want to be. Aesa bites harder this time, putting one arm around him and the other on his neck again.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko smiles, swaying again

I don't think it would work anyway... I've got too much raw magic in my blood for vampirism to work properly...

[AmberVael]

Aesa is a bit to focused on her bloodlust to hear him. She begins draining a bit more than she should if she wants to play it safe.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko sways again, his eyelids drooping. Aesa? A bit much, don't you think?

[AmberVael]

Aesa draws back and casts another spell on him, this one slowly replenishing his blood so he will not fall unconcious from the immediate change. She grins at him. What did you think of that?

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko rubs his head, smiling, though apperently in a small amount of pain. The "almost falling unconscious due to bloodloss," or the "sexy vampire-like persona?"

[AmberVael]

Both. Aesa grins at him, her teeth still sharp and long.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko grins

"Arousing", and "making me wish we weren't in a public place right now."

[AmberVael]

Aesa chuckles at him. I've got a room in the back if you want...

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko grins

Indeed I do.

[AmberVael]

Aesa runs a hand down his arm and then grabs his hand. This way, Hiko. She slowly leads him to the quarters, but stops in front of the door to kiss him.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko kisses her back. Ready?

[AmberVael]

Are you? Aesa gives him a fanged grin.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

He grins. Always.

[AmberVael]

Aesa opens the door for him and gestures inside.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Hiko enters, grinning

[AmberVael]

Aesa goes in after him, shutting the door behind her.
((And thats that.))

[Takehiko the Marooned]

((For those who were wondering, they're playing checkers.

>_> <_< >_>

... Yeah, Checkers.))

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn wakes up after falling asleep in his chair and yawns

[InaVegt]

An anthropomorphic mouse about the size of a kender walks up to the HQ of heaven's exile's and knocks on the door.

After waiting for a while the mouse leaves again

[Gemini]

Gemini teleports in. He walks up to Aesa's door and kicks it down. He says with a thundering voice, "There shall be none of that in the guild. Get out, and do that someplace else, NOW!" Gemini's eyes turn fiery golden and he draws his sword, pointing it at the two of them.

((God, I hate that DAMN cybering!))

[Lord Iames Osari]

((Kill him, Aesa!))

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal awakens to the sound of Gemini's shouting and exits his room. "I think they heard you, sir," he says drily before teleporting upstairs. and walking out.

((You might take it out of the guild, at least. You know, so that the rest of us needn't read it?))

[AmberVael]

Aesa looks up from the checkers board, where it is quite clear that she is beating Hiko. Of course, it might be because he is slightly distracted, but the game's outcome is clear nontheless. She raises an eyebrow at Gemini. You have some aversion to checkers?
((You came quite a few hours too late.))

[Dark_Wind]

((IC, yes he did. My point stands, though. Go get a room. Somewhere else.))

[Kenyon]

((Damn, never have I seen such a hatred for checkers.))

[InaVegt]

An anthropomorphic mouse about the size of a kender walks up to the HQ and knocks on the door, hoping there is someone this time.

[Gemini]

"What happened in the main room? You forget that I see everything that goes on in here. This is a guild for exiles, not lovers. If you disagree, then you can leave."
((Yes, please. Go somewhere else and do that.))
A doppelganger answers the door.

[InaVegt]

The anthropomorphic mouse smiles at the doppelganger.

Am I allowed to inquire what this place exactly is, I am new to this town, you see and wish to know more about the places in it.

The mouse bows towards the doppelganger

[AmberVael]

What, are you jealous, Gemini? If you did not want to see that, all you would have had to do is avert your 'eyes...' so I think there may be a different reason behind this. Aesa smirks at him, coming to her feet.
((You "needn't read it" anyways. It is not my fault you decide to read it if it is not something you want to read.))

[Gemini]

The doppelganger of Gemini smiles. "This is the Heaven's Exiles, a mercenary guild. As you can see, it is located on the outskirts of the town and we have numerous contracts helping out the town. Would you be interested in joining?"

Gemini becomes fustrated. "I do not get jealous. I own the guild and must take full responsibility over it. I will not have, such dirty, actions take place in the guild. Either admit your sins and go back to bsuiness, or take it somewhere else."

((I hate cybering. Take it someplace else.))

[InaVegt]

Well, honor forces me to refuse, my family always has used mercenaries, but we never have been them. In the lands were I'm from I'm a noble you see. But I could offer you something else, I'm a trainer of the sublime way, a special type of martial arts. And I'm not expensive. I can train more than just martial arts though, I only haven't got a listed price for it. I'm Murelia Escapado, disciple of the diamond mind, protector of the weak and trainer of the interested.

[Gemini]

The doppelganger scratches his head.
((I will be back in lick 10-15 minutes.))

[AmberVael]

Dirty actions? Oh my, have I been under the authority of a self-righteous celibate? Aesa chuckles. How amusing. I will make this deal with you: as soon as you realize that I am not the only one with 'dirty actions' to her name, I'll come clean. Ok? Aesa sneers and shakes her head. Now run along to your chapel, priest.
((Well if it offends your sensitive mind, then I will take it elsewhere.))

[Gemini]

((It dosen't, it's just really annoying and pointless.))
"What did you say? You have been very disrespectful lately. Your membership here has been revoked temporarily. Come back and plead when you want to rejoin."

[InaVegt]

What do you say about my offer, mister?

[AmberVael]

((Hey now, I was damn well going to keep that out of 'your' guild from now on, and this gives you no license to godmod, especially since I had not known this beforehand. I still argue that it is your fault for reading it, but that does not prevent me from complying with your request. Now cut me some slack here.))
Aesa is stubbornly not teleported out, resisting Gemini's will and glaring at him. No one makes me beg. Come ask me for forgiveness if you want me back. She teleports herself away out of her own volition, taking Hiko with her.
In the main room, every sign that Aesa ever was in the guild vanishes.

[Gemini]

((Huh? I didn't godmode, niether did I teleport you out. Huh?))

[AmberVael]

((Oh come on. You edited, and we both know it. I saw it, and so did someone else.))

[Gemini]

((I edited something else, not that. I never godmode.))

[Kenyon]

((*sigh* I hate to get involved in this, Gemini, but I saw it. You apologized for godmodding, then ICly booted them out to the street. Godmodding can happen, especially when tempers get a little riled up, I don't know why you're denying it.))

[Gemini]

((Whatever. Just delete that post then. My computers getting slow and annoying. I might be back later. If so we can have our duel, Aesa.))

[Dark_Wind]

((You know, I'm half glad I wasn't on for most of this argument, and half guilty I egged Gemini on rather than trying to head the whole thing off, even if I do agree with him, more or less.))

[Jonnadiah]

((Just dropping my two cp. (Probably ill-advised, but I do need to get this out there.) Both parties seem to be over-reacting here. Gemini (whom, if you haven't already figured out, I know in person) wasn't exactly, how we say, tactful, in his presentation of an argument (IC or OoC) against Cybering.

Verdandi, on the other hand, was only tactless in her presentation of argument OoC. However, I would like to request that she change her view slightly on this whole cybering stance:

The policy of "Don't Read Don't Know" doesn't work well on RolePlaying forums...or any message board for that matter, where it is usually critical to the plot to be reading entire threads. (For instance, what if a client had approached the guilding during 'alone time' and interrupted the posts between Takehiko and Aesa?)

I would also like to point out that there are people here who are underaged. Gemini himself is a few years younger than I, and while certainly children in their mid teens are at least aware of all this, many are still not old enough to respect the consequences of such actions, OoC, of course.

My stance on this whole internet bumping uglies? While far from finding it distasteful (to say otherwise would make me a hypocrite, frankly) it does seem to be happening in excess on these forums. I came here to engage in a freeform D&D roleplay setting, not watch General Hospital, perhaps we can all take out 5 minutes to respect EVERYONE'S wishes on these forums and keep the soap opera to places like Trog's Second Floor, Personal Realms, Temples (because, well...yeah) and the Beach (because it IS described as romantic) and allow the places of business (such as guilds or the police station) to keep business OUTSIDE of the pants.))

Babhdàn hops into the guild and sees everyone glaring at each other. What the...? Nevermind, listen, I've heard rumors of a few renegade NPCs trying to start a Temple of Jonnadiah, apparently he's a God? Has anyone here heard of such a thing?

((Let's get back to the real travisty here...I'm killing things and no one seems to know how to stop me ^_^))

[McBish]

((I know how to stop you. Kill you. But since I can't do that since all my characters are weaker than yours I will just have to think of something else. But anyways, one of the parts of several peoples joy of these forums is realtionships that happen. Some of them plutonic and some not so much. Just saying... anyways I'm going stop posting OOC here now, feel free to PM me if you wish to respond.))

[Gemini]

((Thank you for pointing all of that out, Jonnadiah, saved me the trouble.))

[Dark_Wind]

Dougal reappears at the guild, again, and loiters around the entrance. "So, look, akward confrontations aside, has anyone seen Jonnadiah or Aloysius recently?"

((So, let's get back to this being an IC thread, mmkay?))
