((Repost))

Well, honestly not much of a plan yet, as I know little of these two so far. But I have been in a situation like yours a few times and would be glad to... get rid of these two for you. he says slowly, trying not to sound too obvious here in the middle of a tavern.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Tabitha looks a little taken aback and quirks a brow at him, "Forgive me, but what do you mean... precisely?"

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA understands exactly what Chi means (who he heard with his super NINJA hearing) but says nothing, for NINJAS such as he are deadly silent.

[SoulSpear]

Jin hardly noticed the ninja on his head, though because the ninja was on his head, that ninja would be pretty high up. Cool look out spot. But it was the fact that his hair was getting messed up was the only reason Jin noticed. So to cover the broken chair he started poking the ninja in the foot for entertainment.

Despite the fact that Chi was taking pretty quietly Jin still overheard somthing about getting rid of some people. He decided to approach them to ask if they needed help. They were seated at a table [I think] so Jin would be towing quite a bit. "*Ahem* Excuse me?"

[Deadly]

Chi sighs, sensing that Tabitha might not be as open to his suggestion as he had hoped I'm sorry if my offer doesn't appeal to you, if so then just disregard it. I mean no harm.

He looks up at Jin a bit Yes?

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA bursts into black smoke right as Jin touches him, appearing instead on his back. He unsheathes a black katana and prepares to drive it into the half-giant's spine.

[SoulSpear]

Jin nodded to both of them. "I overheard a conversation about some problems that may need to be physically taken care of. I wanted to know if any help was needed."

[Ms_Elaneous]

"Don't worry about it. You offering to help, although, perhaps using methods I would not approve of, is quite kind of you." She says. "If they had intent to actually harm or kill me, I'd probably take you up on it. For now I've got to find some way to get them to stop following me. Which means I'll probably have to take it to the 'king' himself." She smiles, although it is obvious it is more of a grim smile.

[SoulSpear]

Listening to Tabitha, Jin comments "Bodyguard is the job I usually have. I don't need to be payed much."

[Deadly]

Chi shakes his head a bit at Jin Sorry, but it seems we won't need such measures.

He turns back to Tabitha Ah, I see. Well, if you need help just ask, I could probably use alternative and less drastic methods to keep them away.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA disappears off Jin's back because he's crazy like that, reappearing under Tabitha's table.

[Ms_Elaneous]

((I have to wait for someone at some point to continue the story. Which might be inconvenient for you.))

"I have a large bodyguard who I am currently seperated from. Although, I'm afraid I'm a bit strapped for cash at this time.If you would be so kind as to simply keep a watch out for me, I'd gladly reimburse you as I can for your help." Tabitha sighs. "Besides, Evander should be here anytime now. I'll wait for him. They won't think to come back here for quite a while." She smiles obviously pleased with herself.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA, unable to see anything else, stares at everyone's feet, for he can accurately tell who he has to kill by their feet.

Why do you think he's a NINJA?

[Deadly]

Chi thinks I could try to lure them away from you... get them to follow the wrong track. he concentrates a bit, then speaks again, this time sounding exactly like Tabitha I'm good at trickery like that. he smiles slightly

[SoulSpear]

"Well if you go rushing off to the kings court, or things get a little roudy I'll be here most likally. Don't hesitate to call me. If you want some muscle in a tight spot, I can my share." Jin concluded before going to take his leave, his services not wanted here.

[ZOMG! COLOR CHANGE!]

[Ms_Elaneous]

This time, both eyebrows raise at Chi. "I would, but are you sure you can handle them? Arram was just being polite today. He is not a good man to meddle with... As for Diederick, he's not too shabby, but he'd never kill anyone."

She waves gratefully at Jin before he walks off.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA picks up a block of wood and begins whitling it into a statue of him killing the Ambassador of Cake Town with his katana.

[Deadly]

Chi turns back to his own voice Don't worry about me, I'm used to danger.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Tabitha bites her lip in contemplation. "Why would you do this for me?" She doesn't seem dubious, but rather curious.

[SoulSpear]

"If you need help to handle them, or just need some muscle against them. I'm also avalible for that. Any job I can find I'll help with, If you could send any work my way, I'd be greatful"

Jin settled in a corner both for a while. Suddenly he was fell into a pit of dead time.

[I'm so quest starved. Involve me please! PM me if anyone...wants to do stuff]

[Rebonack]

The Teeny-Traveler awakens with a start and glances around the tavern groggily.

[Deadly]

As I said, I have been in a similar situation a few times, it nearly got me killed once. Being hunted like that is not fun, and I like to choose the least obnoxious side to work for. That's why I haven't gone to your "friends" to ask about that reward, even though that probably would earn me more.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA, finishing his wood carving, magics it so it is sitting on Tabitha's table. He then disappears and reappears behind Maph'tey, his sword readied.

[Ms_Elaneous]

"Oh yeah... the reward... heh." She smiles and winks, "Very well. If they want to follow you for a fair pace, I'd be very grateful. And if you wanted... Diederick would probably be the one carrying the money. Arram likes to work lightweight. You could um... relieve him of it?"

She glances a bit startled at the wood carving, but simply shakes her head and chalks it up to randomness.

[Deadly]

Chi smiles slightly, barely visibly Relieving them of that reward sounds like a fine idea. he says and sips his llamanade I'll see if I can find them, then, and let you know if there's any problems. Deal?

[cosmo]

Cosmo enters the tavern, muttering to himself as usual. rackinfrackin El Jerkero making work the weekends. He puts on his apron, then pops up behind the bar.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Tabitha nods, "Take care of yourself. I expect you back here sometime and in one piece, got it?" She smiles, already thinking of Chi rather like a friend.

[Rebonack]

Maph'tey doesn't notice the ninja, since ninjas are stealthy and stuff.

He surveys the room for a moment before concluding that no madness is currently afoot.

[Deadly]

Chi nods and finishes his llamanade You too, Tabitha. he says and leaves the tavern

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA, judging Maph'tey to be some sort of Oni, plunges his katana towards the Teen Traveler's neck.

[cosmo]

Cosmo takes Chi's empty glass and starts washing it. Yeah, great. Thanks for, you know...paying for it. He rolls his eyes and goes back to his muttering.

[Rebonack]

The katana passes right through Maph'tey with no apparent ill effect and proceeds to split the table in half, dumping the lil' critter on the floor.

This, of course, gets his attention.

"That's assault! Stand down Mr... ninja person. You're under arrest!"

[Ms_Elaneous]

Tabitha jumps from her seat and rushes over towards Maph'tey, "You alright?"

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA looks at Maph'tey and his katana with confusion before deciding that Maph'tey has magical Oni powers. He pulls a scroll with a lot of Japanese kanji on it and tosses it at the Teeny Traveler. If it lands, it will explode and make him temporarily corporeal.

[Rebonack]

"I'm fine, just getting attacked by a nin-"

'splosion!

This is probably a good time to point out that Maph'tey's incorporealness isn't quite of the same nature as your average ghost or shadow. It has nothing to do with existing partially on the Ethereal Plane or the Plane of Shadow, respectively. Rather it has more to do with the fact that the stuff he's made of, depending on what he's doing, can behave as either a collection of particles or a wave function.

The end result is something pretty much identical to normal incoporealness, but without all the dimensional nonsense.

Of course, he just got hit with freaking ninja magic, so he gets rendered solid none the less.

"...the hell...?"

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA throws a handful of flaming shuriken at the now-solid Maph'tey.

[Ms_Elaneous]

"What is it today with attacking people? Are you alright now, Maph'tey?" She asks with a bit of annoyance in her voice at the situation.

She uses her gear-staff to make magic gears (missles) to counter the shurikens.

[cosmo]

Cosmo rolls his eyes as he continues washing and rinsing glasses. What is it with all the fighting all the time? Didn't people used to come here and drink? And leave tips?

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA, somehow thinking that Cosmo is a Tengu, throws a kunai-knife dipped in goat-blood at him.

Where he found a goat this time of year is anyone's guess.

[McBish]

((Wait... where's my goat. DAMM YOU NINJA!))

[Rebonack]

Maph'tey manages to roll and bounce and dodge out of the way of the majority of the shuriken. However, one does lodge itself quite firmly in his cute little flank. He grits back the pain and decides to take advantage of the ninja class' lousy Fort save.

He rears back on his hind feet and thrust his forepaws forward as his silvery eyes dim to an inky black of endless space.

This rather nifty maneuver has the end result of creating a few tiny seed crystals inside THE NINJA, which, should the power work, will nigh instantly solidify him from the inside out.

"I'll live.

...

Probably."

((Kunai pretty much means knife, so kunai-knife is redundant >.>))

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA is hit by the attack and solidifies!

OH WAIT - It was a log all along!

The real NINJA appears floating above Maph'tey and tries to thrust his sword into the Traveler's adorable little head.

[Rebonack]

"Huh... would have thought I could have smelled the difference..."

Shish kabob'ed!

Maph'tey sits there on the end of THE NINJA's sword, being exceptionally dead.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA, seeing that he has killed Maph'tey, swirls his katana so that it completely severs the cute little head from the now not-as-cute little neck. He stuffs the head in a pouch along with the skulls of other Oni's he's killed.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Tabitha begins to sob horribly. "YOU FIEND! HOW COULD YOU!?" She cuddles the mass of dead Maph'tey.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA, unable to feel such things like remorse, just looks at Ms. E with a curious eye.

[Rebonack]

Maph'tey continues to be exceptionally dead. Something not too dissimilar to quicksilver is busy oozing out of his neck stump.

It was spurting before hand, but it appears to have mellowed out a bit.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Gritting her teeth together, she places little Maph'tey's body on a nearby table and gets out her gear staff. "You. Die." She says slowly, the staff starting to glow intensely as she walks a little closer to the ninja.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA sticks his hand inside a pouch hanging from his belt. He pulls a clenched fist out before blowing the contents inside of it at Ms. E. The powder, commonly known as "Amnesia Dust", flies toward her face.

[Ms_Elaneous]

With a burst of mechanomantic energy, the dust is disintigrated. The energy continues, aiming towards the ninja.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA is hit with the energy. As he goes flying, he disappears. A burst of kunai fly at Ms. E from the shadows.

[Rebonack]

((I'm waiting for Evander to show up and pop THE NINJA's head like a zit.))

Maph'tey continues being dead. Apparently he's very good at this.

[Ms_Elaneous]

((I almost did that last post, Rebonack. :smallwink:))

With a resounding wave of force Evander breaks throughs the door, (although, it reassembles itself effortlessly thanks to the Tavern's powers) and blocks the kunai with is body. "Where. Have. You. Been?" Evander says, obviously somewhat upset, his voice a low thunder.

"Not. Now." Her tone matches his perfectly. She waves the staff, shooting a few flaming gears at the ninja's head and around Evander.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA disappears and reappears on Evander's back, thinking that the monstrosity is some sort of...um...Samurai? Yeah, a samurai. He tries to plunge his katana into Evander's heart, if he has one.

[Ms_Elaneous]

The blade bounce harmlessly off of Evander's armour. The result is Evander's arm reaching back in a nigh impossible position to grab ahold of the ninja.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA is grabbed.

[Obsidian Blade]

Fydan and Kal appear in Trog's.

[Rebonack]

Maph'tey appears dead.

[Ms_Elaneous]

((Ooh... *scrunches up face in apprehension* Not a pretty sight this will end up being))

Keeping a firm grasp on the ninja, Evander hurls him against a nearby wall. Tabitha cringes in anticipation.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA disappears into a black smoke upon contact with the wall. He reappears throwing all manner of bladed projectile at Evander, some set to explode upon impact.

[Kyrian]

Kal looks around. "Seems like a regular day at Trog's...Care for a drink?"

[Obsidian Blade]

Fydan's eyes widen as she sees Maph'tey's lifeless body.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Noticing Fydan's reaction, Tabitha calls, "The ninja!" And motions towards him.

Evander is blasted backwards a little, but his armour remains intact. "This fellow is not too easy to destroy, is he?"

[Kyrian]

Kal passes his spot check and follows her gaze. "Oh..."

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA throws a few bombs at Evander, his sights set on the robot.

[Obsidian Blade]

Fydan reaches for her sword, then winces when she realises she doesn't have one anymore. Instead, she turns to the ninja and a blast of fire comes out of her outstretched hand.

[Ms_Elaneous]

((Not a robot! :smalltongue: Enchanted armour guardian... thing.))

Tabitha quickly creates a large gear shield in front of Evander to block the objects and their blast.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA somehow defies the laws of physics and spins in midair, redirecting the flames back at Fydan. He lands and decides to go for Tabitha as she is magically protecting Evander. He tosses even more shruikens, bombs, kunai and one kamaitachi at her.

[Kyrian]

Kal draws his dagger and throws it at the ninja. As if flies through the air, dark fires surround it.

[Rebonack]

((He's got lots of ninja-pockets.))

Maph'tey continues to be both dead and headless.

[Deadly]

Chi steps out of a shadow behind THE NINJA, swinging a thin, barbed chain at his legs and pulling back to try and entangle and trip him, while at the same time aiming a dagger at his spine

[Ms_Elaneous]

Evander once again rushes in front of her, taking her into his huge arms and making his whole body a shield. Still focusing on the giant gear shield, Tabitha concentrates the shield in front of the both of them.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA is stabbed and captured by Chi, but not before turning into a log!

THE NINJA is infamously hard to kill.

The kamaitachi he threw lands on Evander and tries to worm its way around to Ms. E.

[Ms_Elaneous]

((What is a kamaitachi?!))

[Deadly]

Chi spins around, swinging the log into the fireplace, releasing it in the swing ((Assuming it's still entangled in the chain.))

[Kyrian]

Kal's dagger returns to his hand.

[Nevrmore]

((A self-aware, intelligent weasel wielding a sickle.))

[Rebonack]

Maph'tey isn't done being dead yet, so he continues to do so.

[Ms_Elaneous]

((*the look can only be described as dubious, but accepting*))

Tabitha's eyes get big, "What the heck-?!" She crawls out of his arms and Evander tries to crush the weasel in his embrace.

[Nevrmore]

The log tosses into the fire and burns as logs are wont to do.

THE NINJA appears in the rafters, throwing more cliche Japanese weaponry down on the crowd below him.

[Obsidian Blade]

Fydan dodges out of the way of the flames and draws her own dagger.

[Kyrian]

Kal throws his Dark Fire dagger at the ninja again.

[Deadly]

Chi flips back to avoid the attacks, then shadow jumps into the rafters and attempts to slit THE NINJA's throat

[Nevrmore]

The Sickle Weasel, being quite weasely, manages to squirrel (lawl) out of Evanders grip. He slashes towards Tabitha's throat.

THE NINJA disappears in a swirl of mist, reappearing on the ground. There is a potion in his hand now which he makes threatening motions to drink.

[Rebonack]

Maph'tey would love to help with the fight, but he has a hard time since he's dead and stuff.

[Nevrmore]

((I wonder if Rebo is subtly asking someone to revive him.))

[Kyrian]

((I just wonder why he bothers, Maph'tey's in at least 2 other places at this time, knowing Rebo))

[Obsidian Blade]

Fydan also throws her dagger at THE NINJA and prepares for another spell.

[Deadly]

Chi swings his chain again, this time trying to wrap it around THE NINJA's neck

[AmberVael]

((I just wonder why he bothers, Maph'tey's in at least 2 other places at this time, knowing Rebo))
((It is kinda odd that he doesn't just create another Fission Maph'tey))

[Ms_Elaneous]

Evander places an arm out to protect her. "Dang it! This is too much," Tabitha says angrily. Standing away from everyone else, she begins to summon a swarm of gears, all whirling around her rapidly.

[Rebonack]

((I considered doing so, but seeing everyone fighting for revenge is better. For an IC explanation regarding why he isn't back? I dunno. A wizard did it. I usually prefer to avoid Maph'tey returning to any given fight after he dies.))

The universe finally remembers that Maph'tey's corpse should begin evaporating back into aether. So it does.

That includes the head in THE NINJA's bag, too.

[Nevrmore]

THE NINJA, having had enough of the bombardment, drinks the potion - Yes, he manages to do it through his mask, that's just how much of a NINJA he is.

He suddenly begins transforming - His muscles bulge, his eyes turn red, he grows at least two feet in height. His ninja clothes rip, but only at the shoulders, stomach, and pants. He has become SUPER NINJA, after ingesting the Ooze.

((Now not even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can stop me!))

[Kyrian]

Kal sits at the bar, his dagger returning to its sheathe.

[Obsidian Blade]

The universe informs Fydan that there are other Maph'teys running around. She also sits at the bar, ignoring the ninja.

[Deadly]

Chi sighs and watches the NINJA from the rafters

[Ms_Elaneous]

((MAN! Will you just let me avenge my adorable friend? WAH!)

A group of the gears from the vortex shoots out towards the NINJA. Evander gets behind her.

[Nevrmore]

((blarg! Simu-post))

THE SUPER NINJA is hit with the gears, shrugging the wounds off. He walks over to Evander, now equalling him in size, and tries to wrestle him away.

[Obsidian Blade]

Fydan falls into Dead Time for a few hours.

[Kyrian]

Kal puts an arm around Fydan and waits.

[Deadly]

Chi decides to disappear as Dead Time threatens to catch him

[Ms_Elaneous]

Evander is not easily outwrestled, although, having her guardian so close to her enemy causes Tabitha to cease firing the gears and just continue to have them swarm.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA tries to get Evander to the ground in some sort of pin.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Evander attempts to throw him away, still not going down to the ground.

[The Geomancer]

Czar Prohibition, after being hit by about 10 or 12 willy nilly, Japanese style throwing weapons, decides to throw off his mighty shroud of dead timery. Going from not moving to moving really really fast is what Crocodiles do best and in a second he is inches away from biting the ninja with a bite, that will crunch through muscle and bone if it makes contact.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA flips thrice through the air, lands, and goes to bull rush evander, ignoring the Russian-named crocodile.

[The Geomancer]

"Wait a second, assault is a crime!" Tom realizes to himself. And if Clergyman State has taught him anything, its that criminals are also food. Laughing maniacally, an evil move that the large crocodile barely manages to pull off, Czar Prohibition charges at the Ninja with both his arms and teeth. He is attempting the use his jaws to grab the ninja's head while he rips off the ninja's arms.

[Ms_Elaneous]

At the same time, noticing the crocodile's intentions, Evander tries to push the ninja away from him and towards the open maws.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA, his arms like ten normal men's arms stacked on top of each other, does not snap or rip when the croc bites into it, although the teeth do penetrate his flesh. Angrily, THE SUPER NINJA brings a mighty fist down towards Tom's head.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Evander holds up his arm to block the blow to the crocodile. Tabitha sends a few more gears towards the ninja from an angle that should not harm Evander or the croc if she misses.

[The Geomancer]

The mighty Ninja fist, dazes the Czar (if it hits), but not enough to get him to let go. When his head clears he rolls his head back and forth trying to rip the arm off, or at least a piece of flesh.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA spins around as he feels his flesh begin to rip, slamming Tom into erthing in his immediate perimeter.

[The Geomancer]

Czar Prohibition doesnt let go for anything, if the flesh rips off he will probably go flying into a wall. If it doesn't rip then he just goes for the ride, taking the damage he gets from hitting things.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Evander steps out of the way to protect Tabitha, using his body as a giant shield while the crocodile goes out of control fighting the ninja. Or eating him, as the case may be.

[Nevrmore]

A large chunk of THE SUPER NINJA's arm flies off as does Tom, his wound bleeding the strange purple ooze he ingest. He begins stomping his feet, creating earthquakes.

[The Geomancer]

Tom swallows the flesh of the ninja that he ate and then gets up and looks at the earthquake-ninja. Suddenly he charges forward with a Roar that shakes the entire tavern. Suddenly he leaps up and clenches both his hands together. He is trying to bring his hands down and crack the ninja's head like an egg. If he succeeds there will a great amount of rejoicing among the omelet loving peoples of the world.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Quite exhausted and assuming the croc can handle it, Tabitha climbs up into Evander's armour and falls asleep, Evander shutting down for the evening as well. Both sit in the corner until their puppeteer, me, returns.

((G'night everyone. Give him heck, Tom.))

[The Geomancer]

((*Wishes the Ninja would come back, so we can end this*))

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA tries to stab two Sai into Tom's arms.

[Chaotic Bob]

Karaglen shifts in her unhappy dose, her tail knocking over a salt container.

Her player points nevrmore towards the Church of The Seed thread, wondering if he will get a response.

[NicholasRiddle]

Drake holds his glass up contemplating the match with dazzling burning blue eyes from his corner. Slowly he smiles and sips from his glass having watched the guardian shield of armor trying to protect its master. "So this is the gear child. Maybe she is more competition than I had thought." A smile gleams across his lips as he looks around the room at the destruction.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA waits for Tom to respond.

[Chaotic Bob]

Karaglen proceeds to knock another glass container off the table before finally calming down in her sleep.

[NicholasRiddle]

Lightly Drake rises from his seat approaching the Ninja as he stands in the shadows still a hand gleaming outward. "Let the Darkness of your soul come to me and maybe you shall be spared this fate of death that approaches. Do you agree to follow me?"

[The Geomancer]

Czar Prohibition gets hit in the arms with the Sai. Still he has enough momentum to continue the attack and tries to snap the Ninja's neck despite the Sai in his arms.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA quickly thrusts one arm down and the other up, trying to cause Tom to spin wildly out of control.

[The Geomancer]

Tom does so. He falls at the Ninja's feet. He bites at the left one, and grabs the right one and lifts up, attempting to trip the Ninja.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA lifts his leg in time, trying to bring the heel down on Tom's head.

[The Geomancer]

Czar Prohibition ((Yes I realized I have been switching back and forth)) Turns his head, so that if the Ninja stomps down, his foot will go right into the Czar's waiting jaws. He continues to push the Ninja's right leg out of place.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA, seeing this, stops mid-stomp and instead turns to kick him.

[The Geomancer]

The Czar scrambles out of the way and quickly crawls towards the bar, and orders a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Drinks it and spits it out at the Ninja. If it hits it should deal moderate acidic damage.

[Nevrmore]

The acid lands on THE SUPER NINJA'S chest, disintegrating his shirt and showing off his inhumanely ripped pecs. He seems none the worse for wear, though. He tries to punch Tom in the snout.

[The Geomancer]

Czar Prohibition is unable to dodge the punch, because he swallowed more drink then he spat. He takes the punch and starts bleeding profusly. However a happy side affect of the drink is the fact that he doesn't feel any pain. He swings his fist at the ninja with a force that would take a normal man off the ground. Dead time lurks around the corner and plans to pounce on the Czar in a few more minutes.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA, being no normal man, takes the punch full force and doesn't even move. He grabs Tom's fist in his and attempts to slam him into a nearby table.

[The Geomancer]

Czar Prohibition digs the claws of his legs and the arm that isn't in the Ninja's grip into the wood of the floor and bar respectively. He resists the Ninja's attempts to fling him. Then he lunges forward with his teeth trying to engulf the Ninja's head and rip it off.

[Obsidian Blade]

Fydan watches the fight with mild concern.


Lelin stretches in the corner, blinks, and disappears, taking Amik with her.

[Kyrian]

Kal leans over to Fydan. "Maybe we should just go?"

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA spits fire into Tom's mouth.

Yes. Fire. Through his mask. He's just that good.

[Obsidian Blade]

Maybe we should.

[Kyrian]

Kal stands and offers Fydan his hand.

[Obsidian Blade]

She takes his hand and walks out with him onto the streets.

[The Geomancer]

Czar, having already bought an item from the Omnishop that allows him to swallow and digest anything in the world, laughs to himself. The Ninja could not have chosen a worse place to attack with fire. By this time the Crocodile jaws must be practically around the Ninja's face and closing in.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA releases Tom's arm and uses both hands to grab both of Tom's jaws, trying to snap his mouth in twain.

[The Geomancer]

Czar Prohibition's jaw stays very much intact, but his attack was stopped only inches from his target. The Ninja must realize that if it moves its hands at any time Czar Prohibitions maw will come closing down. The Czar reaches around the Ninja's arms and grasps the Ninja's neck and tries to choke vigorously.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA jumps into the air, flipping, and tries to knee Tom right in his croco-crotch.

[The Geomancer]

Unfortunatly since the Ninja is now behind the Crocodile he only Knees him in the tail. Uncomfortable sure, but not unbearable. Suddenly dead-time comes and stabs the Crocodile in the face. Finally, thank God. I thought I would have to fight that Ninja forever. Czar Prohibition says as blood comprised of pure time leaks out of his temporal wounds.

[Nevrmore]

THE SUPER NINJA gasps silently as the time elaks out of Tom. Time was his only weakness, for he is a walking anachronism! As the pure chronological energy touches him, he explodes into feudal Japan.

[Skjaldbakka]

A penguin in a hawaiian t-shirt walks in, and buys a blue slurpee. He sits down at the bar to enjoy his tastee beverage.

[ValKey]

*ValKey heads into Trog's sitting down and looking around the room*

[Baeleck]

Mychasi snaps out of dead time. He curses something in draconic, before mumbling and resting his head on his arms, curling up a little.

[ValKey]

*ValKey sighed a bit since it seemed like she came in at a time where nobody was around.she blinks a little bit..as she heard the swearing. She only knew enough about draconic to know that it was a swear. She wondered to herself how wise was it to talk to this person. She spoke in draconic in case they didn't understand common*ermm...hello?

[Baeleck]

The small Brass Dragon wyrmling turns to ValKey, still looking rather annoyed. His eyes keep flicking back to another dragon of similar age, caught in dead time. He tries to smile a bit.
{Draconic} "Oh, hello there."

[ValKey]

I am not bothering you am I?*she said looking over at the dragon*It's been a while since I spoke to a dragon

[Baeleck]

{Draconic} "No, it's ok. I've just had a bit of a bad day today... or yesterday, depending. That's what I hate about dead time, you never know what time it is when you get out."
Mychasi looks about a bit. Damn, where's Bae? he thinks to himself.

[ValKey]

Oh yeah, that is pretty annoying*she nods a little bit*

[Baeleck]

Mychasi tilts his head inquisitively at ValKey.
{Draconic} "I haven't seen you in here before. What's your name?"

[ValKey]

I am ValKey. I don't come in here too often since I have trouble with crowds. But I am trying to get over it

[Baeleck]

Mychasi nods a bit.
{Draconic} "Well, it doesn't look very busy in here at the moment," He pauses, thinking. "ValKey... I've heard that name before from someone..."

[ValKey]

Therefore it is a good time for me to come in here*she smiled seeming to relax somewhat since the dragon seemed a more friendly sort*oh? Not too sure who knows of me around here. I had some..bad run ins with some people in here in the past...

[Baeleck]

Mychasi thinks of who he heard the name ValKey from. He sighs.
{Draconic} "I can't think who mentioned your name. Might have been Lycande, maybe."

[ValKey]

Never heard of him..I can't tell you who you might of heard it from. But I hope you heard something good

[Baeleck]

Mychasi shakes his head.
{Draconic} "I can just remeber the name..."
Just then, a portal opens and the two mephits fly in. Ethrai spots Mychasi.
"There you are!" He calls, flying over to Mychasi and ValKey.

[ValKey]

*she looks over at the mephit and tilts her head to the side*Is this who you were waiting for?*ValKey thinks they seem familar but her mind is kind of fuzzy*

[Baeleck]

Mychasi bites his lip.
{Draconic} "Urm, not exactly."
Ethrai folds his arms, giving a stern look at Mychasi.
"Why didn't you come home yesterday?"
Mychasi indicates to the dead time around Nymbryxion.
"Ah. Ok then, you were... Wait, is that who I think it is?" His scowl turns to a slight smirk.
"Yes, it's Nymbryxion. And don't start on-"
Ethrai interupts.
"-Wouldn't dream of it."
He flies of over to Shal, grining, and pointing out the other wyrmling to Shal. They begin to laugh. Mychasi just scowls at them.

[ValKey]

*she watches wishing she knew what was going on...she looks at the dragon, then looks at the mephits*It's not very nice to tease people you know..

[Baeleck]

Ethrai looks over at ValKey, and stops laughing.
"Oh, um... sorry."
Shal continues to laugh though, until Ethrai hits him round the head. Mychasi turns back to ValKey.
{Draconic} "Sorry about them. They're like that, sometimes. Shal especially."
He indicates to the darker mephit, who is still laughing.

[ValKey]

Why are you sorry about them, you didn't make them do it*watches them and chuckles a little*

[Baeleck]

Mychasi gives a shrugging motion.
{Draconic} "Well, that's what Baeleck always says. But I suppose they are his summons, so he has some control over them. Baeleck looks after me."

[ValKey]

well that is nice of him to help you out..*she looks thoughtful*

[Baeleck]

Mychasi tilts his head a bit.
{Draconic} "What are you thinking about?"

[ValKey]

Something about that name sounds familiar..I think my sister mentioned something about him before..

[Baeleck]

Mychasi thinks.
{Draconic} "Hmm... What's your sister's name?"

[ValKey]

Crystal*she fiddles with her dress a little*

[Baeleck]

Mychasi suddenly remebers.
"Elune!" He says, at exactly the same time as Lycande enters the tavern.
"Where's Elune?"
Mychasi looks round.
"Oh, uh, I dunno. I just remebered something that's all."
Lycande nods a bit and goes over to Mychasi.

[ValKey]

That is probably who you heard my name from..*she smiles a little bit*

[Baeleck]

Mychasi grins.
{Draconic} "Yeah, I remeber now."
Lycande looks at them both, unable to understand draconic.
"Sorry?"
Mychasi looks up at her.
"Meh."

[ValKey]

*she waves over at Lycade, swaying her tail a little bit unsure of what to say. She looks at the dragon*do you like singing?

[Baeleck]

Mychasi laughs a bit.
"To be honest, I don't think I have even sung in my entire life... even if my life so far is only a few weeks..."
Lycande sits next to them.
"I like to sing. Me and all my sisters used to do that back home. We all ahve little music boxes which play music, and we sing or just listen to them."

[ValKey]

Oh..um..you mind if I sing for you?*she plays with the edge of her dress a bit*

[Baeleck]

"Not at all." Lycande says, smiling warmly.

[ValKey]

*ValKey looks off trying to think of something. She gives a little cough and starts to sing*I wound up my music box, and a song did play. A song I wanted to sing, of the music it did bring. It seemed like a magical song, one that I could sing all day long..

[Baeleck]

Lycande politley applauds, and Mychasi grins. Lycande then searches for a music box on her person, and takes it out upon finding it. It is made of hazel and engraved with intricate patterns. There is a small and unusual keyhole on the front. Lycande mumbles to herself.
{Elven} "Now, where's the key..."

[ValKey]

It's not really one of my best songs*she rubs her head a little bit*

[Baeleck]

"I still like it." Mychasi says, looking over at Nymbryxion momentarily.
Lycande finds the key to the music box - a small, spider-shaped thing. She slots it into the front, and each of the legs reach into slots around the edge of the keyhole, it then turns itself round a few twists,a nd the music box begins to play (http://www.spellforce.com/downloads/bow_audio/01_Cenwen.mp3) some Elven music. Lycande sings along quietly. Shal and Ethrai make their way out via portal, bored.

[ValKey]

Glad that you like it*she smiles a little bit listening to the music*

[Baeleck]

Before she knows it, Lycande has drifted off to sleep. Mychasi rolls his eyes, but then gets caught in the pocket of dead time... again.

((I'm off to the cinema with some mates now.))

[ValKey]

*ValKey decides to head out*

[Castaras]

Fus teleports into the tavern. He orders a drink and sips it, watching the other occupants of the tavern. He gets up and wanders over to a calender that was always there in the tavern. He reads it, and smiles.

{undercommon}Lady of Pain, guide me in my last day of living.

He then takes a seat and takes out his money pouch. He looks in it and turns to Cosmo.

I'll have one of everything, at that table.

He gets up and moves over to a table. Cosmo starts bringing over the food and drink for him. He quickly eats the food and sips the drinks, watching the empty tavern.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Tabitha awakens and climbs out of Evander's armour. Her guardian she leaves in his sleep mode and she tries to get some breakfast.

[Castaras]

Fus looks up from his drinks at Tabitha.

G'day, Ms E.

[Ms_Elaneous]

"G'morning." She walks over to Fus' table, "Mind if I join you?"

[Castaras]

Not at all.

He grins and moves over for her.

[Who]

*Walks in followed by K9*
Afternoon all

[wxdruid]

Gwen slips in for a quick cup of hot chocolate. She sits down at the bar.

[Who]

*Nods to Gwen*
How's the world treating you?

[wxdruid]

Quite nicely, Thank you, May I get a hot chocolate please?

[Who]

No problem, K9 get a hot chocolate.
Yes Master
*A hot chocolate appears from K9*
Their you go
*Hands hot choclate to Gwen*

[wxdruid]

Gwen smiles, Thank you K9 and Who, she puts down the money and stirs her chocolate chips into the hot chocolate before taking a sip.

[Who]

Enjoy the hot chocolate
*Leaves*

[wxdruid]

Gwen finishes her hot chocolate and leaves the Tavern.

[Dispozition]

*Dis wakes up from a long sleep*

"Wha!...Oh...Must have fallen asleep...Hey all!"

*Dis' skin crawls*

"Hmmm...I sense a disturbance in the force coming..."

[The_Librarian]

"Oh what a beautiful moooooorning! Oh what a beautiful day!" The tavern door bursts open and a green-haired, stocky elf marches into the tavern singing at the top of his voice. He plants a large kiss on Nina and grins at the rest of the patrons.

[Dispozition]

"I'll take a stab and say that you're Greeny...If that's so...Why the hell are you so happy? Don't you hate being elvish?"

[Castaras]

Fus finishes his drinks and watches the new people who've come in and woken up.

[Who]

*Accompanied by a loud bang and smell of microwave popcorn a somewhat burn Who appears in the corner of the room*
Ouch! Okay at least I got it working again

[The_Librarian]

"Ah Dis, my old friend, my old mucker! Being elven can be bearable when one considers the advantages! Such as the thumbs! The ability to dance! The love of a good woman!"

[Dispozition]

"Ok...Now I'm even more scared...You, love? What in the nine hells?"

[Who]

*Looks at the elf*
Your Greeny, when did that happen?

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*The llama wakes up* "I had the weirdest dream I was a Fluumph!"

"Elven Greeny?"

[Dispozition]

"Good, I'm not the only one really scared by this..."

[The_Librarian]

"Hells? Hells?! I'm talking wedding bells! For today I have asked for the good librarian's hand in marriage! I will at last make an honest woman of her!"

[Castaras]

Fus quietly listens to the conversations.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*shocked Loud Bleat*

[Dispozition]

*Dis' jaw drops*

"Anyone mind pinching me...I must be dreaming...And even if I'm not...Why the hell did she say yes?...I mean...What the hell!!!"

[Who]

Okay now I'm really confused, what is going on?
*Pinches Dis*

[The_Librarian]

"I'm laughing at clouds, So dark up above, The sun's in my heart, And I'm ready for love! And all the drinks are on me!" He looks at Dis with a raised eyebrow. "Would I be singing if she hadn't?"

[Fenric]

Aimi recovers from the Dead Time sneak-attack and looks around.

[Dispozition]

*doesn't suddenly wake up*

"Well...Quite frankly...I think you would be, but still..."

"...That's got me stuffed...Ummm...So...When is it?"

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*Another bleat from the llama, this time of joy, but he's still pretty sure he's just dreaming vividly*

[The_Librarian]

"When? As soon as the sun sets! Surrounded by jasmine, peach and apple blossom! Ah, happy day, happy day!"

[Dispozition]

*Dis sighs*
"Well...It's not like I can stop you...or even want too...I want to see Libris' face... But still...Kinda sudden don't you think?"

[The_Librarian]

"Sudden? Yes, I suppose. But things have suddenly changed! There is an urgent ache in my heart!"

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

"That sounds like the tastiest wedding all year"

[Dispozition]

"Well, there's an urgent ache in my stomach for food...You don't see me jumping all around getting it, do you?"

*Dis grabs a hand full of peanuts and shoves them into his mouth*

"You didn't see that...Ok?"

[Castaras]

Fus grins, watching quietly.

[DarkHunter]

(( Psst. Atreyu, Updated Information: Various Fox Races (http://homepage.mac.com/stocksdale_tx/FoxInfo.html) ))

Aimi chuckles at everyone getting in a tizzy over a marriage, and rolls her back ball around on the counter once more.

[The_Librarian]

"Why am I smiling?
And why do I sing?
Why does September
Seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up
Each morning and start
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart?
Because of her!"

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

(ack....shouldn't you be in church instead of tormenting poor llamas)

*The llama shakes his head, and attempts to float, but fails and begins to wonder if this isn't a dream. A glint out of the corner of his eye turns his attention to the friendly lass with the shiny ball*

[Ms_Elaneous]

Realizing everyone else is up, Tabitha ends her dead time with the swipe of a single post and watches the singing elf with a slight grin. Sitting down at Fus' table, she begins to eat her Velvet Elfish.

[DarkHunter]

(( Anna's not feeling so well... still in bed, actually. So I get to torment a llama instead, today :smallbiggrin: ))

Aimi looks over

Ah, the priest llama. So sorry for the most unexpected distraction the other night.

[Castaras]

Fus turns to Tabitha.

How's it been going?

[Ms_Elaneous]

"Ah, well, it could be better. Phew." She flashes him a grim smile, "That little adorable Maph'tey died yesterday thanks to a random ninja. So, there was a big fight over that. Not to mention a little ealier two people I'd been trying to avoid finally showed up. Speaking of which, there's no need to use my alias anymore. Just call me Tabitha."

[Castaras]

People trying to kill you can be a bit annoying. Only two?

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*he looks at her, trying to not blatantly stare at the ball when talking to someone, but his eyes keep drifting down to it*

will save: [roll0]

"That's okay. As soon as we get the sleeping potion laced water supply cleared up, something called Dead Time shows up in random places. apology accepted. What brings you to Town?"

[Ms_Elaneous]

"Ah, the thing is, their not trying to kill me, but take me back," she says, "And yes, only two for now. But they're two of the best. It is a gross underestimate, though." Tabitha smiles widely.

[DarkHunter]

Aimi smiles

I was hungry, and someone who I was afraid of was... taken care of... recently. By people from your temple, actually. So now I'm here.

She giggles and gets a slightly embarrassed grin

I know this sounds weird, but could I pet you?

[Castaras]

"Ah, the thing is, their not trying to kill me, but take me back," she says, "And yes, only two for now. But they're two of the best. It is a gross underestimate, though." Tabitha smiles widely.

Fus grins back.

You defeated them?

[Ms_Elaneous]

"Threw them off momentarily. I've decided the q-word is the best word ever," she adds with a laugh. "I didn't have Evander with me at the time so, I made due with what I had. They are still around Town somewhere though, I'm positive."

[The_Librarian]

Aimi smiles

I was hungry, and someone who I was afraid of was... taken care of... recently. By people from your temple, actually. So now I'm here.

She giggles and gets a slightly embarrassed grin

I know this sounds weird, but could I pet you?

Greeny grins at the llama and launches into Love is in the air...

[Castaras]

"Threw them off momentarily. I've decided the q-word is the best word ever," she adds with a laugh. "I didn't have Evander with me at the time so, I made due with what I had. They are still around Town somewhere though, I'm positive."

Anything can be used to your advantage.

He puts down his drink.

If they're still around, why don't you get rid of them now? Like a stab in the back or something?

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*He ponders who she might be thinking of, then realizes that its way tooo many people, so he nods* "yeah, my temple takes care of a lot of people."

"Of course you can pet me. You can even scratch me behind the ears if you want to."

[Ms_Elaneous]

Tabitha coughs into her drink, "U-um. Well, since they aren't actually trying to hurt me, I have determined not to use any serious harm to them as my solution. The fact that I know one of them personally as an old friend doesn't help to sway my decision." She sighs before muttering, "Idiot..."

[Castaras]

Tabitha coughs into her drink, "U-um. Well, since they aren't actually trying to hurt me, I have determined not to use any serious harm to them as my solution. The fact that I know one of them personally as an old friend doesn't help to sway my decision." She sighs before muttering, "Idiot..."

Old friends who try to harm you are...upsetting.

He swigs down the rest of his drink.

Old arguements, betrayals, or the swaying to the more money.

[Ms_Elaneous]

"Sense of duty to the new "king" is more like it. I'm afraid I'll have to do something about him before it's over," she shakes her head and takes another drink.

[Castaras]

"Sense of duty to the new "king" is more like it. I'm afraid I'll have to do something about him before it's over," she shakes her head and takes another drink.

A bad, corrupt king? Or just one who you just don't like?

[DarkHunter]

Aimi reaches up and scratches Atreyu behind the ears. Atreyu feels a pleasant warm tingle as she does so, and all his cares and worries drain away.

This generally distracts people from the fact that all their joys and hopes drain away too, at least until it's too late to matter.

Of course, the overall effect precludes caring about the fact of the effect, at least until tomorrow morning.

Aimi looks noticeably healthier after the scratch, and she smiles while stowing her ball away in a pouch.

Thank you, dear llama. Now, if you'd be soo good as to elaborate the layout and inhabitants of your temple, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[Ms_Elaneous]

"Took-over-my-homeland-and-forces-us-to-build-weapons king. Gah... I'm still not sure how he managed it. My anti-siege devices should have been more than enough... Still, I was younger then. Perhaps there was something I overlooked..." She bites her lip before chewing on some more Trogdilla chips.

[Castaras]

"Took-over-my-homeland-and-forces-us-to-build-weapons king. Gah... I'm still not sure how he managed it. My anti-siege devices should have been more than enough... Still, I was younger then. Perhaps there was something I overlooked..." She bites her lip before chewing on some more Trogdilla chips.

The past has been and gone. You should look to the future, on what you're going to do to solve the situation, if you want to solve it.

[Ms_Elaneous]

"That's true. But something doesn't sit right. If I figure out what it is, I can remedy it," she gives a sigh to end the topic and smiles again. "So, what have you been up to, Fus?"
