Trog's Tavern CXXXII

[Rebonack]

The random criminals are cuffed and delooted. The obvious leader sneers at Omega's comment.

Random Criminal 1: "Lowest of the low? Ha! We're just a throw-away gag. Shouldn't you be more worried about yourself, Agent? Stopping that guy's heart at your convenience? You really are just like Magtok."

[Gemini]

"They 'technically' didn't. I asked them if they wanted a protection contract like the police, and they said to talk to the leader. I went yesterday, but he wasn't there."

[AmberVael]

Aesa snickers to herself at the thought.

[Lord Magtok]

To the NPC gang: Shut up! That was Magtok's....just shut it, criminal!
He clearly doesn't want to talk about it.
SASO decides to bring the crooks to the station.

[Gemini]

"Anyway, I've been wondering....what did you do before you came to the guild? Just wondering."

[Deadly]

Aeri looks around slightly, then orders a new tea and scribbles something among her many notes

[AmberVael]

I fufilled my name. Aesa. Madness, inciting war. Aesa shrugs and sips her summoned wine.

[Gemini]

"Good enough for me. So, what is your opinion on the mage attacks?"

[AmberVael]

Aesa sips her wine and thinks, then shakes her head. As far as I know, there was no reason for them to have attacked the guild. Insanity, or obsession with power, are the only explanations I can offer. Not that they are very different from each other.

[Gemini]

"Wait, there's TWO?"

[AmberVael]

What, no one told you? Jonnadiah is not acting alone, though I do not know his accomplice's name. Aesa narrows her eyes. If you did not know, how did you know that there were two? I did not specify a number.

[Gemini]

"When? I never saw the other mage. I never knew there was another mage."

[Cathrindir]

Cathrindir pops into existence with a small flash of white light. He looks around and nods to Gemini, taking a seat at the bar. "I'll have a Vodka, Cosmo."

[AmberVael]

Aesa sighs. That one suspicious police officer, I cannot remember his name, said that Jonnadiah was on this plane. We tracked him to the library, and as we fought him, a man posing as his mentor fought us as well.

[Gemini]

"Oh, that's strange. Hm... I had bahdan questioned by Iames. Nothing turned up. Do you think he is being controlled by Jonnadiah was it?"

[AmberVael]

I doubt it. They acted as two separate people, and you still have not answered my question. Aesa watches him carefully.

[Gemini]

((Hold on, I don't think I ever said there was two to begin with. Gemini had never heard of nor seen Alyosius. If he did I don't remember that. Sorry for the mix up.)) "I don't remember being told there was two, ah nevermind. If they attack the guild again they must have a death wish." gemini smirks.

[AmberVael]

"Wait, there's TWO?"
((Aesa had not told him there were two people, and he he said the above statement. This is what Aesa is suspicious about.))

Indeed, considering the fight I gave them at the library.

[Gemini]

Aesa sips her wine and thinks, then shakes her head. As far as I know, there was no reason for them to have attacked the guild. Insanity, or obsession with power, are the only explanations I can offer. Not that they are very different from each other.

"See, exactly. They-no one should ever underestimate you."

[AmberVael]

((That first "them" does not imply two. That implies more than one. The last sentence you highlighted refers to insanity and obsession with power, not mages.))

No one should ever underestimate anyone.

[Gemini]

((Oh, sorry a common mistake. I have to get off now. I will be back on a little later.))
"You're right."

[AmberVael]

((Good timing. Same here.))
Aesa sips her wine and watches people passively.

[Deadly]

Aeri looks up from her notes, sighs and leaves.

[wxdruid]

Tygerlilly creeps into the Tavern, she spots several semi-comatose people. She giggles softly. Kethend comes in behind her and goes looking for food. Tygerlilly tries to creep very quietly up on Aesa and Gemini.

The bells on Kethend's hat chime softly as he goes into the kitchen.

[wxdruid]

Alena comes downstairs, she peeks out the door and notices it's still cloudy and finds a stool. She takes it over to a corner and unbags her harp. She sits, arches her wings behind her and starts to play. She plays sad songs, songs of missing friends and family, songs of wanting to go home.

[AmberVael]

Aesa listens to Alena sing, disdainful at first, but she slowly seems to be entranced. She fingers her bracelet.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost appears in the tavern,
Paige,the usual
he sits at a table and listens to the music,and becomes lost in it,and memories of his past

[wxdruid]

Alena closes her eyes, already knowing exactly which string to pluck. She puts her heart and soul into the song.

[AmberVael]

Aesa looks down at the table, wondering what it must be like to have a place to call home.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost hardly notices as Paige brings him his wine,he just contines to listen and think

[wxdruid]

The song slowly changes, she adds in the joy of finding a friend amidst all of the sorrow in life.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost continues listening intently,while absently poring his wine

[AmberVael]

The change in the song does not seem to make Aesa any happier. In fact, her wings droop and she continues staring at the table, holding back her emotions.

[wxdruid]

Alena finishes the song and looks up as she opens her eyes. She sighs softly and leans her head against her harp, staring at the strings.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost snaps out of his day dream and wanders why the music stopped
and sips at his wine

[AmberVael]

Although unused to holding back emotion, Aesa manages not to break down in the middle of the tavern. She does not manage to gain back her normal cool demeanor, however.

[wxdruid]

Alena glances around, noting who's awake and their mood. She puts her hands back up and starts a light-hearted fast paced tune.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost smiles and tapps his foot in tune and begins to read through hs spell book

[AmberVael]

Aesa has apparently become oblivious to everyone else and anything else in the tavern.

[Blood]

Blood glares sourly at Alena. Two muffins appear and each one flies at high speed toward their respective targets, the only active people in the room: Alena and Tethost.

Blood smiles and sips from her floating wine.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles and adds in the joy of spring flowers. She weaves the spell into the music and flowers start to grow through the floor of Trog's. The stems poke their way through the floorboards. They grow leaves and finally blossom into a brightly colored carpet.

The muffin swerves and flies over her head.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost still seems to be lost even though a couple of flowers have grown around his foot

[AmberVael]

Aesa puts her head on the table, trying not to cry. She mentally berates herself for her weakness.

[wxdruid]

Alena subtly changes the song, adding in the sounds of birds. Butterflies start flitting from flower to flower as she starts to sing of summer.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

tethost snaps out of his trance and realises whats happening around him and scratchs around his pouchs and produce a pencil and begins to sketch and take notes of whats going on

[AmberVael]

Aesa fights back tears with brutal, self-denying efficiency. Finally she picks her head back up, her face stern and cold.

[wxdruid]

Alena closes her eyes and the song goes into Autumn. The butterflys die, the flowers slowly turn brown and wither.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost continue to scratch furiously at the parchment and begins huming in tune

[AmberVael]

Aesa flicks her wings as she stands and teleports away, still as cold as ice.

[Deadly]

The mirror from Inari's bursts into flames and mIlias walks in, looking around Atleast the flowers are withered... he mutters and sits down A bottle of rum, gnome! he says and throws Cosmo a few coins

[wxdruid]

Slowly the song changes to winter, a soft white blanket covers the remains of the flowers.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost continues taking note in the events taking place

[Deadly]

mIlias shivers and frowns at the snow. Flames engulf him as he takes the bottle of rum and downs about half of it.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles as the cycle comes full circle, green shoots push their way up through the melting snow. Growing new leaves and slowly blossoming into a brilliant carpet of flowers. The butterflys come out and flit between the flowers as the snow disappears and Spring returns.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk enters the tavern, considerably less angry than last night. He takes an empty seat and orders an Archon Ale.

[Gemini]

Gemini gets up and leaves.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost still seems amazed at the events happening around him and continues taking note

[Blood]

The black cat stretches and walks back and forth along the counter. Her wine disappears.

She jumps down and walks out of the tavern.

[wxdruid]

Alena opens her eyes as she continues to play. Spring runs riot on the Tavern floor, flowers and butterflys everywhere.

[Deadly]

mIlias downs the rest of the bottle and looks around at the butterflies I bet butterflies burn well... he mutters thoughtfully to himself

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethosts puts down his notes and watchs the events taking place in awe and sips his wine

[Nevrmore]

Hawk stomps any grass and the unfortunate butterfly or two that get too near him, gulping his ale.

[wxdruid]

All of which does nothing to the flowers and butterflies, since they are illusion.

Alena quietly finishes the song and the flowers and butterflies slowly fade away. She puts her hands down and looks around.

[Deadly]

mIlias shrugs and orders another bottle of rum, which he promptly sets on fire before taking a big swig

[Nevrmore]

((Feh))

Hawk finishes off his ale, looking around. Some idiotic braggart starting trouble would lift his spirits right now. He could use an excuse to kick someone's ass.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost has an amused look on his face and raises his glass and bows his head to alena

[Deadly]

mIlias seems to be getting in a bit better mood and downs the last of his rum while creating small dancing figures of flame on the bar.

[wxdruid]

Alena nods politely back to Tethost and considers what to play next.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost gahers his notes together and begins to walk towards the exit

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin walks into the bar, a Ash cross on his head. He goes to the bar "Archon Ale please" He asks and slams the coins on the bar. He takes his mug and drinks it.

[Blood]

Blood walks through the mirror from Inari's in a very thoughtful state. As soon as she walks in she grins and jumps up onto the counter. She sits and watches, her tail swishing madly, still with a slight smile.

[wxdruid]

Alena begins to play softly, nothing particular, just quiet listening music.

[Deadly]

mIlias orders another bottle of rum and sets it on fire, watching the flame with a maniacal grin.

[Blood]

Blood hums along with the tune for a while, then lies down and looks around, listening to the music.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk looks at mIlias warily.

That's just an insurance check waiting to happen.

[wxdruid]

Alena watches the different bar patrons as she starts to sing.

[Deadly]

mIlias chuckles, then suddenly throws the burning bottle into the air. It explodes, sending burning rum everywhere. Wohooo, look at it burn! he cheers

[wxdruid]

Alena tucks her wings back, avoiding any flames.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin looks over to the Pyro and scoots away from him.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk stands up and walks over to mIlias.

"Sir, I'm aware this tavern is indestructible, but if you continue endangering its patrons with with your irresponsibility and immaturity, I'll enact upon you."

[Hawkeye]

Several bits of flame fall on Hawkeye, who simply brushes them off. He flags Cosmo down and orders another drink .

[Deadly]

mIlias turns to Hawk Aww, you people are so boring. I'm just having a little fun. he smiles at a table catching fire nearby.

[wxdruid]

Alena continues to play and sing. She watches Hawk approach mIlias from the corner of her eye.

[Nevrmore]

"I do not find it fun." He says, giving mIlias a Soul-Piercing Gaze (patent pending.)

[Deadly]

mIlias grins madly But I do! a chair in the other end of the room catches fire too.

[wxdruid]

Alena stops playing and quickly rebags her harp, she steps back into the corner and casts Steel Shadows on herself.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost walks in with a pile of scrolls and finds a table(a non-burnung table)and begins to scribe his scrolls into his spell book while enjoying the music

[Nevrmore]

Hawk waits patiently for someone who is magical to put the fires out, in the meanwhile grabbing mIlias by his shirt collar and forcing the man to look at him.

"Don't think you can pull this crap with me. Every other officer in this town might be as flexible as a damn stick of rubber but I don't take kindly to that kind of disrespect."

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

tethost wanders why the music stopped but dosnt look up from his scribing

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin thinks hard and says "Wait, If this in is indescructable. . . You can set the whole place a flame and It will stay that way!" Eralin says in amazment as he takes a large swig to congradulate himself.

[Deadly]

mIlias keep grinning. He bursts into flames and disappears, jumping out of the flames in the other end of the room. A pair of flaming whips appear in his hands Now we're having fun! he laughs

((IIRC the inventory, like chairs and tables, are not indestructible, only the tavern itself is))

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye sighs and stretches out a hand. Everything that was on fire (excluding mIlias), now isn't.

[wxdruid]

Alena nervously watches mIlias and hopes Hawk takes care of him.

[Nevrmore]

This kid is a damned loony.

Hawk looks at him. Half of him wants to traverse the tavern just to make a beautiful abstract painting on the wall out of mIlias' face, but the other half knows that's not very professional.

[Deadly]

mIlias glares at Hawkeye Blasphemer! and a couple of tables and chairs burst into flames again.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost looks up from his scribing and notices the fire and says to mIlias
Would you mind not setting everything on fire you buffoon

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin stands and draws his revolvers "Need help friend?" He asks the cop.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye's eyes glow red "Blasphemer? How could I blaspheme? I'm, temporarily mind, a smeggin' greater god." He repeats the trick he used earlier

[wxdruid]

The fires come a bit to close for Alena's comfort and she casts Step into Shadow, her shadow reaches out and goes outside, she vanishes into her shadow and reappears outside of Trog's.

[Nevrmore]

"That's it." Hawk says, nodding lightly to Eralin. "Sir, I'm arresting you for willfull damage of property, endangering citizens, and disrespecting an officer of the law. Now, how about, for a nice change of pace, you break the streak of so many others and come quietly so this does not devolve into a fight?"

He lowers his hand, keeping it close to his holstered gun.

[Deadly]

Fire is holy, quenching fire is blasphemy!

He grins at Hawk I would rather come kicking and screaming... that's so much more fun. he lashes out with one whip.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk pulls a sleeve of his trenchcoat up, shooting an arm to defend himself. The whip cracks, releasing a sound of thunder, wraps itself around the exposed flesh and starts flaying the layers away.

"God damned loonies always have to put up a fight!" He growls, ignoring the pain. Taking a full two-steps backwards while quickly and drawing his gun, he tries to pull the man toward him and off balance.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye glances at Hawk "Do you need any help?"

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin kicks over a table for cover and fires(Freezing Bullets) at the cultist, unloading all 12 shots.

[Deadly]

mIlias lets go of the whip and it immediatly dissolves. He shifts into a huge flaming tiger and jumps at Hawk, claws first. He lets out a roar as a couple of bullets hit him, but continues his attack.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Oh,shut up fool

Tethost rolls up his scroll and casts polar ray at mIlias

[Nevrmore]

Hawk uses his friend hand to draw one of the swords on his back, letting the other fall to the ground.

I'll get it later. He notes, trying to skew the flaming beast as it tackles him to the ground.

"I am not helpless!" He shouts, seemingly in response to Hawkeye's offer.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin reloads with smaller shots, but freezing shots non the less and fires all 24 shots from both revolvers, turning the table.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye shrugs "Ok, call for help if you need it" he sips his drink, trying to ignore the disturbance

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost casts yet another polar ray at mIlias

[Deadly]

mIlias bites at Hawk, but is simultaneously hit with the sword and the freezing ray. He screams and disappears, reforming from a burning candle, thus ignoring the bullets. He grins madly, seemingly having forgotten the pain Now we're talking. he says and shoots a ball of pure fire at Eralin.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost casts frost sheild on himself

[Nevrmore]

Hawk shoots a glance at the quite similarly-named Hawkeye, "Extinguish all points or possible points of fire in this place." He growls, not even bothering to put it in the form of a request. In the meantime, he uses Eralin's distraction of mIlias to gather the necessary energy to project an aura. After a few seconds, a brick-red air is cast over his body. He seems a little more calm.

"Fortitude." He says, picking up his second sword. He runs up behind mIlias, putting both blades at his neck.

"Now calm the hell down!"

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye folds his arms and growls "Don't bark orders at me boy"

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin gets hit by the fireball and gets shot over the bar. He struggled to get up and reloads with freezing rounds, starting to fire at all the candles, lanterns, ect. making sure he dosen't knock down the Rum and Other alcohals behind him.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost castsgust of wind in an effort to help put out the flames

[Deadly]

mIlias just laughs and the flames around him increese to a seering inferno as he ducks, swirls around and stabs at Hawk with a blade of fire. Quite a lot of furniture likely catches fire around him.

[Nevrmore]

The fire burns through Hawk's clothing and seemingly skewers him, but simply bounces off his skin.

"What are you, deaf? I said this is the aura of Fortitude." He growls, shooting a knee up into mIlias' face.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

As always,thewizard has to save the day
Tethost casts wish and wishes the fire out

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin reloads and continues to fire shots at the Pyro "Die you stupid Hot-Head!" Eralin stops shooting and laughs "Hey, I made a funny!" He says as he starts to fire again.

[Deadly]

mIlias gets hit with the knee and falls backwards and lands on the floor. Ow! he mutters and holds his jaw. He takes a few bullets before disappearing and reappearing near the stairs, standing out of sight of Eralin, obviously quite beaten up, though this doesn't seem to have gotten rid of his mad grin.

The fires die out a bit from the wish, but remains focused around mIlias.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye scowls and tries to enjoy his drink ignoring the fight around him.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost casts bands of steel at mIlias

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin takes a step back, putting his back against the Rum Rack and fires Ice Blast rounds.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk turns around, his aura shifting from brick red to electric yellow.

"Speed."

He appears behind mIlias in a flash, both his blades poised, as his aura shifts back to Brick Red. He is breathing significantly harder than he was a moment ago.

"Come quietly and this can end." He says whilst simultaneously catching his breath.

[wxdruid]

Alena peeks in briefly wondering if the fight is over yet.

[Deadly]

mIlias grins I'm sorry, this have been fun and all, but I have to go. with that he turns into a tiny dragon and flies towards the door, trying to get out.

[wxdruid]

Alena falls back as mIlias the dragon comes her way.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk pulls his gun out, dropping the swords, and starts letting off rounds toward the fleeing dragon.

"Please help!" He shouts to Hawkeye. If he catches this psycho he will take so much enjoyment in his incarceration, no matter how short it may be.

[wxdruid]

Alena casts Killing Shadows at mIlias before completely ducking back out into the street.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye turns and a barrier forms where the door is sealing off the room. He draws his bow and shoots a couple of arrows at mIlias, both doing cold and sonic damage if they hit.

[Deadly]

((What does Killing Shadows do? I can imagine it's not nice :)))

[wxdruid]

((10d8 damage or 5d8 with a successful will save, it's a shadowy cone of punishment))

[Deadly]

mIlias, dodges a few bullets, but doesn't do so well against the multiple attacks. He crashes right into the barrier and falls to the floor, shivering and barely concious. ...cold... so cold...

[Nevrmore]

Hawk holsters his gun and sheathes his swords, allowing his aura to fade.

Squirm, you psycho. He thinks, walking up to mIlias.

"Thank you." He says, not indicating who exactly he's thanking out of Hawkeye, Eralin, or Alena. He picks mIlias up by the neck.

"We can add resisting arrest, assault, and intent to kill to your list of crimes, my friend." He says, nodding to Hawkeye to lower the barrier.

[wxdruid]

Alena walks back in through the wall to find out whats happening. (she's incorporeal)

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye waves a hand and the barrier lowers "You really should learn how to be more polite officer."

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Yes,thank the idiots and their steel,when my magic most greatly contributed!
he sits down and continues with the scroll

[wxdruid]

Alena stays by the wall watching mIlias and Hawk.

[Nevrmore]

"I'm an ass; Sue me." Hawk says, rolling his eyes, all too familiar with the sentence Hawkeye had just uttered. He walks out of the tavern with the barely conscious mIlias in tow

((To streets of the town!))

[Deadly]

mIlias blinks a bit, but doesn't seem to be quite aware of what goes on as he's dragged out

[wxdruid]

Alena looks relieved when mIlias leaves and finds a stool to sit on again as she turns corporeal again.

[Hawkeye]

"Last time I offer free help to him..." he stretches and tries to relax, sipping his drink

[Lord Iames Osari]

Svadris comes downstairs again. Paige, get me an Ichor Liquor, if you please.

[Fenric]

Kazuki walks in from a shadow in the corner, looking a bit smug and pleased with himself. He orders a martini and sips at it contentedly.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye nods at Kazuki "Lo Kazuki, how have you been?"

[Fenric]

Kazuki grins at Hawkeye

Hey, Hawkeye. I'm doing well enough, thanks. Things seem to be settling out reasonably well for me, even if my father and sister don't entirely approve.

[wxdruid]

Alena walks upstairs.

[Wukei]

The demon appears beside Kazuki as though he'd been there the whole time. He swings his tail, chirruping happily.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye raises an eyebrow at Kazuki "Oh?" he narrows his eyes slightly "Although you have done somethings in the past that I didn't agree with." he raises the other one at the demon

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin wakes up from the fire concusion (sorry, had to eat) and looks around. He then jumps over the bar and out the door, waving.

[Fenric]

Kazuki looks a bit guilty and defensive: his ears folded down to the sides and his tail twitching.

This is my personal life this time... I didn't set anything powerful free or bring about any invasions or anything...

I just... um... have settled out my living arrangements with Izumi, whom Dad forced me to marry. And... Krystal isn't very happy. Mom understands, though.

[Wukei]

The demon's tail wraps around Kazumi's to get him to quit twitching nervously. He looks Hawkeye up and down. Hello...I am Mikhail Pyotr Nicholae...I better not give my last name... ^.^

[Lord Iames Osari]

Paige delivers Svadris his Ichor Liquor, and he sips it, watching the other taverngoers.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye runs a hand through his red hair "Well that's good Kazuki...I've already had enough interference by gods recently" he glances at Mikhail "I'm Hawkeye...I assume you're the reason that Kazuki is in some problems?"

[Wukei]

His eyes widen as he hears Hawkeye's name. YOU'RE Hawkeye. He looks him over again and grins. Captain Shipmaster never had perfect tastes...

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye groans and rolls his eyes "I've been told that you were in town...and don't get any ideas."

[Wukei]

He purrs. Already got 'em...and Kazuki fulfilled most of 'em last night.

[Fenric]

Kazuki arches an eyebrow at Hawkeye

I'm good enough at getting myself in trouble, as you well know... but... wait.. You know him?

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye turns to Kazuki "I don't, but Wukei does." he then turns to Mikhail "I do not even want to ask about that..."

[Wukei]

He smiles and chirrups happily. I did not wish to interrupt the night I left the note...

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye sighs "So what brings you to this corner of the world?"

[Wukei]

His tail twitches, releasing Kazuki's. Booty.

[Rebonack]

*Sound bite of audience groaning at the bad pun.*

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye rolls his eyes again "Which kind?"

[Wukei]

He chirrups. Every kind.

[McBish]

Lillah walks in through the mirror and finds an empty table in a corner and sits down in it.

[Hawkeye]

"Well I was told you were hyper...and she wasn't wrong..." Hawkeye glances at his watch, or he would do if he had one "Oh, I've got to go. Nice meeting you Mikhail, I think. Don't get Kazuki in too much trouble."

[Wukei]

He smiles. Okay! Have fun!! I know we will!

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye rolls his eyes for a final time and disappears in a swirl of fire

[Fenric]

Kazuki chuckles (( and takes Ted takes a call from his boss at 8:30 pm *grrr* ))

[Lord Iames Osari]

Svadris shakes his head and sips from his drink again.

[Wukei]

He grins at Kazuki. So...what do you have planned for tonight?

[Fenric]

(( There. 45 minute work call at this time of day.... argh. ))

Kazuki grins

I prefer not to plan things... chaotic, you know.

[Wukei]

He giggles. Fine by me.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames and Aerin appear. Iames scans the bar and spots Svadris. You there! You're under arrest for robbery and attempted murder!

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin draws her sword, and silver fire blazes along its length.

[Fenric]

Kazuki arches his eyebrows

Oh my...

[McBish]

Lillah sighs upon hearing there is a murderer in the tavern. Not that this is unusal or anything but it still annoys her.

[Wukei]

He glances over at the cop and his tail curls up into a tight little ball.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Svadris looks up. Blast it all... He drains his drink and pulls out his revolver. He fires at Aerin.

[Fenric]

Kazuki promptly goes incorporeal, with the red eyes and loss of color that attends the change

Why does everyone have those nasty smokepowder things these days?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin dodges his shots and leaps forward, aiming a punch at Svadris's face.

[Lord Iames Osari]

I take it you're not going to come along easily, Iames says. Very well. He draws his own pistol and sends three rounds toward Svadris.

[Wukei]

The demon flips up and lands on the rafters above, crouching to view the fight, his tail twitches.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin's punch connects and sends Svadris over the bar. Iames's shots miss him entirely.

Grimacing, he draws his concealed rapier and gets to his feet, holding his blade in a defensive posture.

[Fenric]

Kazuki tries to think of something to make the situation more interesting. He hits on an old standby

Quiet, Quiet, Quiet, Quiet, Quiet

[McBish]

Lillah groans as she hears the Q-word.

[Destro_Yersul]

A large number of tentacles pop up from under the floorboards and proceed to attack pretty much everything in the bar.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames sighs and begins scything through them with his hands held flat and open, like blades.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin tests Svadris's guard with a series of probing blows.

[Wukei]

He smiles as he sees the tentacles attacking and almost decides just to stand there for the tentacle, but instead he swings out of the way.

[Fenric]

Kazuki grabs a tentacle and drains its strength by popping one end in his mouth.

[McBish]

Lillah pulls some daggers out of nowhere and tries to defend her self against the tentacles. But being blind makes that difficult several tentacles quickly wrap around her arms and legs and a look of panic comes over her as she tries to get away from them.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Svadris turns into a shimmering, nigh-invisible gaseous cloud and wisps out of the Tavern into the night.

[Wukei]

He raises an eyebrow at Kazuki. Has your family ever seen you do that? I don't think they would have made you marry a woman if they had...

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin growls in frustration, then turns and blasts a bunch of tentacles with soulfire.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames cuts Lillah free, and then he and Aerin disappear, because their player has to go to bed.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus walks in and sees the tentacles wrapped around a girl. He snarls as his claws extend and he gives off a demonic aura. Angelus then goes and tears them off of her.

[Destro_Yersul]

Lots of tentacles die, but are quickly replaced by more. Sensing weakness, most of them go for Lillah.

[Fenric]

Kazuki chuckles

Family no. Others in the temple.... I'll defer the answer.

Kazuki then drifts over to help Lillah

Wouldn't want you to get carried away by my little snack

He begins to drain the strength from the tentacles attacking her.

[McBish]

As several people come to her rescue Lillah falls to the floor a little more freaked out then she has been in the past after being attacked by magical tentacles.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus roars as he body morphs to the structure of your average demon(horns, fangs, and so on.) He then jumps in to the fray tearing apart as many tentacles as he can.

[Fenric]

Kazuki bursts into dark flames from draining so much strength

The trouble with these things is they tend to get a bit addicting after a time

He grabs another tentacle in a lazy fashion and languidly draws on it as if it were a hookah pipe.

[McBish]

Lillah backs into the corner away from the tentacles as they are being killed in many ways. She is still freaked out.

[Wukei]

He watches Kazuki quietly in admiration.

[Destro_Yersul]

The tentacles are replaced as fast as they die. They all go for Angelus, trying to take out what they see as the biggest threat.

[Ryohoshi]

The same could be said of violence. Angelus says as he continues to tear more tentacles apart.

[Fenric]

Kazuki chuckles at Mikhail and contemplates ordering a banana, just for fun. Dropping yet another hunk of calamari on the floor, he looks around with blazing red eyes and surrounded by dark flames to see if any more are available for the taking.

Seeing that more are indeed available, he grabs another.

Anyone know what happens if you overdose on this stuff?

[McBish]

Lillah is all but curled up in the corner with her eyes closed trying to stop her memories from surfacing.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus growls at the endless supply of tentacles, Looks like I'll need to up my game. He then begins to chant as he wrapped by the tentacles.

[Destro_Yersul]

All but one of the tentacles continue trying to wrap Angelus up. The one that didn't try to wrap him up decides to amuse itself by poking Lillah.

[Wukei]

He leaps down and grabs Lillah. With a speed only available to the supernatural he is back up in the rafters. You are safe, now.

[McBish]

Lillah reacts instictivly and tries to escape Mikhail grasp, she seems to not know where she is.

[Wukei]

He keeps ahold of her with his superhuman strength. Shhh...settle, woman. Oh, and this is the only time I'm holding a woman close, just to get this straight.

[Ryohoshi]

After Angelus finishes chanting, his body begins to grow. It has now grown to 8 feet, he has grown large horns, razor sharp claws, fangs, and red scaly skin. After using a bit of effort, Angelus breaks free and savagely goes after any tentacles in his path. ((I promise there is a MAJOR flaw to this spell.))((For those of you who can sense magic or life force, his life force is actually getting weaker.))

[McBish]

Lillah gains enough control to not try to stab Mikhail but still seems very nervous being held by him.

[Fenric]

Kazuki (( who drains stength, but can still sense life-force very well )) looks at Angelus with concern and attempts to drain some of the tentacles attacking him.

Ok... this is getting out of hand. I'm the one who said it, after all!

[Wukei]

Your not seeing seems to be a problem...but listen, you don't want to fight me off. He seems completely serious, which is a drastic change from his whimsical chattering just a moment before. We're up in the rafters, and I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself...

[Destro_Yersul]

Tentacles have ceased to replace dead tentacles. There are little chunks of kalimari all over the bar, but no new kalimari appears.

[McBish]

Lillah just sort of remains stiff in his arms as she tries to calm herself. It's not him. It's not him.

[Wukei]

Seeing the tentacles being quelled, he smiles at Lillah, trying to calm her. They've nearly destroyed them all.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus reverts back to normal and lights up a cigarette, his hand shaking.

[McBish]

Lillah still seems freaked out even though the tentacle menace is gone.

[Wukei]

He clings a little tighter to her as he leaps down and sets her down on a bar stool gently.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus calmly and gingerly walks to Lillah.Are you okay?

[McBish]

Lillah tightens up as he tightens his grip and lets out a sigh as he sets her down she tries to collect herself but you can see her hands shaking.

[Wukei]

He steps back, looking Angelus over with...mistrust. He couldn't tell. Something was wrong with him.

[Fenric]

Kazuki winces as he returns to normal

I don't think I've ever seen them come out quite so aggressively before...

Kazuki sighs

I always cause trouble whenever I come to this plane... I should just stay home

[McBish]

Lillah takes a few more deep breaths, I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. ((< Lie))
