Current revision as of 22:41, 26 March 2008

[17:04] >Ambiance<: There is a audible clang and then what sounds like an explosion
[17:05] * Lkeas peeks out of her room in confusion.
[17:05] Lkeas: Doolie?  That you?
[17:06] Durroth: huh, what?
[17:06] * Doolie cracks open an eye and then snores fitfully
[17:07] * Keara pokes her head out her door, confused by the explosive sound
[17:07] * Lkeas heads out into the upper hallway, checking various doors for signs of smoke or damage on her way to the common room.  "Is everyone alright?"
[17:08] Rimblade: "No.  No, I am not alright."
[17:08] Durroth: yes, I have no clue what just happened
[17:08] * Watcher ((Puddles)) is still sitting a top a couch, counting the eggs it gathered during the Grenwog festival. "20,913..."
[17:08] * Keara exits her room, curious, and follows Lkeas.
[17:09] * Lkeas pads downstairs to the common room.  "Where did that sound come from?"
[17:10] Rimblade: "The origination of the atmospheric disruption, I think."
[17:10] Durroth: an explosion of some sort?
[17:10] Lkeas: Er, I gathered that much.  Where would such disruption have occurred?
[17:11] * Keara checks the common room, before entering.
[17:11] Rimblade: "Within hearing range!"
[17:12] Watcher: "20,927 eggs..."
[17:12] >Ambiance<: The loud explosive sound repeats itself again
[17:12] * Lkeas can't help chuckling at Rimblade as she begins peeking through various windows facing towards the shore.  "Maybe something in town..."
[17:13] * Keara blinks and looks around, trying to decipher the source of the sound.
[17:13] * Watcher continues to ignore the explosions, extremely involved with counting its loot. "20,935..."
[17:13] De`thion: hmm... sounds like my grandfather's car
[17:13] Rimblade: "We can use magic to determine the origination of that noise."
[17:14] Lkeas: Oh, could you?  That would be helpful.
[17:15] Rimblade: "Ahem.  Atricus-too, ca-witchkwedo, a-bibbity bobbity-boo!  Put it together and what have you got?  Bibbity bobbity boo!"
[17:15] * Rimblade snaps
[17:17] * Lkeas waits expectantly for some effect to occur.  "Um... how do you know if the spell is working?"
[17:17] * Eitak_Razal wanders down the stairs
[17:17] * Durroth gets up to investigate
[17:17] Rimblade: "Well... according to the tome I found that in, we ought to be visited by three spirits, or something.  Or wheeled pumpkins?  Listen, the book didn't even say if I needed any material components..."
[17:18] Watcher: "20,950..."
[17:18] Rimblade: "Glass slippers, was it?"
[17:18] Lkeas: I see... maybe we shouldn't count on it, then...
[17:18] * Lkeas turns and peeks through the back door out towards the terrace.
[17:19] * Roch lumbers down the stairs and looks about curiously. "What's going on?" he asks.
[17:20] Rimblade: "Oh, Lkeas, don't be naive.  It'd take a complete and utter moron to write down an incantation if he didn't make sure it worked first.  There were even illustrations of a plump magus in a blue dress, using that very evocation for various purposes."
[17:21] Doolie:  Thats not explosives
[17:22] * Lkeas frowns.  "Some other sort of disturbance?
[17:22] Rimblade: "Wolves, maybe."
[17:23] * Keara blinks
[17:23] Durroth: in the force?
[17:24] Rimblade: "Termites?  Or Deathwatch beetles?"
[17:25] Roch: "Last I checked, wolves don't make those sorts of sounds.  Nor do insects..."
[17:25] Rimblade: "Really large ones might."
[17:26] Doolie:  's thunder
[17:27] Doolie:  definitely 's thunder
[17:27] Durroth: thunder isnt accompanied by clanging
[17:27] * Keara raises an eyebrow, and walks to the window to look at the sky
[17:27] Rimblade: "I don't think he has a degree from the AcmeWeather mage institution."
[17:29] Eitak_Razal: Proably neghbour hood kids banging pots and pans
[17:29] Rimblade: "Never give too much credence to weather reports done by those who aren't trained meteorologeists."
[17:29] * Lkeas shrugs.  "A normal coastal rainstorm wouldn't be much to worry about.  Is there some way to find out if there's something more we should be concerned about?"
[17:29] Durroth: or they're filming Minesweeper: The Movie
[17:30] Eitak_Razal: Anyways, were the magic words you tried to use Bibdi Bobidi Boo?
[17:30] Rimblade: "Slight differences in pronounciation, I grant you... but yes."
[17:31] Doolie:  's thunder inside
[17:31] Lkeas: Inside here?!
[17:31] Doolie:  Sound came from upstairs... within 900 feet of this room
[17:31] Eitak_Razal: Thats from a kids story. They aren't really magic
[17:31] * Durroth looks at eitak suspiciously
[17:31] Rimblade: "You don't get thunder inside!  The cloud giants wouldn't fit!"
[17:31] Eitak_Razal: They come from Cinderella
[17:32] * Roch glances towards the stairs, and hefts his axe.
[17:32] Lkeas: I was just up there... guess we'd better go back up and investigate further.
[17:32] Eitak_Razal: I'll get you the movie on DVD if you don't belive me
[17:32] Lkeas: Doolie, what sort of things could cause thunder indoors?  Should we be arming ourselves?
[17:32] Roch: "Worth checking out, for sure."
[17:32] Rimblade: "Ah.  A notable tome of magic then, is it?  I admit, I only recently heard of the grimoire myself, lady Razal."
[17:33] * Eitak_Razal facepalms
[17:35] Doolie:  Where there is thunder there is always lightning
[17:36] Doolie:  At least in my experience that is
[17:36] * Lkeas frowns.  "Perhaps weapons would be a bad idea then.  Metal conducting electricity and all.."
[17:36] Eitak_Razal: If its inside it could start a fire!
[17:36] * Roch looks at Doolie, confused. "Not always, surely. Lighting strikes in one place, and thunder can be heard for miles. Just because you can hear it doesn't mean there's lightning at all nearby."
[17:37] Rimblade: "My gift box is flammable!  We'd best go put it out!"
[17:37] Eitak_Razal: You can have weapons that aren't metal
[17:37] * Lkeas shrugs at Eitak.  "I only have one blade."
[17:37] Puddles: "Wheeee! I finished countinggg!"
[17:37] Eitak_Razal: Use Puddles as a weapon
[17:38] * Puddles dances a little bit, balancing a single egg on its head. "I win! I win! 30,001!" It yells with glee, then, sadly, the egg falls in his glee. "Oh. Hmm. 30,000, then. Good enough, good enough."
[17:39] * Lkeas glances over at Puddles.  "Do you want to come along, then?  We need to find out what caused the thunder upstairs."
[17:39] Rimblade: "And hit it."
[17:39] * Roch looks down at himself, all clad in steel. "This could be a problem."
[17:40] * Eitak_Razal brandishs her rose whip.
[17:40] Puddles: "Um... Sure?"
[17:40] * Puddles hops off the couch, still dancing with its loot.
[17:40] * Keara hikes an eyebrow up, amused.
[17:41] Arden:  Who the hell is responsible for this lightning bolt in my upstairs hall
[17:41] Puddles: "Not me!"
[17:42] Durroth: Not I!
[17:42] Lkeas: We were just about to investigate, Arden.
[17:42] * Keara shrugs
[17:42] Eitak_Razal: I prefer fire ovr lighting.
[17:42] Rimblade: "Cloud giants probably did it."
[17:42] Lkeas: Wait... is the lightning bolt still there?
[17:43] Doolie:  Wait... lightning bolt in the hall
[17:43] * Lkeas considers.  "I wonder if it could be from Matthew..."
[17:43] Doolie:  Lightning bolts do not hang there... they flash and go away
[17:43] Durroth: he is fond of lighning
[17:43] Lkeas: Exactly.  This sounds like one of his portals.
[17:43] Doolie:  Lightning bolt
[17:43] * Lkeas heads upstairs.
[17:44] * Eitak_Razal follows
[17:44] * Brink awakes, finally "Eh? What's happening?"
[17:44] * Rimblade readies his Truepenny Umbrella and cowers behind Lkeas in a rather bold fashion.
[17:44] >Ambiance<: A purple lightning like tear in the fabric of reality hangs here
[17:44] Durroth: interesting
[17:44] >Ambiance<: A sound like gunfire can be heard within
[17:44] Puddles: "Um... No, really, it wasn't me."
[17:44] Puddles: "I've been counting eggs. All day and night."
[17:44] Eitak_Razal: Yep. Its a portal.
[17:45] * Roch sighs and rushes into the kitchen for some privacy, and begins removing his armor quickly with a practiced hand. The others are still debating when he returns, and Lkeas has just headed upstairs. Roch follows and sneaks around the portal, dashing into his room for a second.
[17:45] Rimblade: "It's dangerous.  We'll have to form arcane circles and dispell it via the use of magery most profound."
[17:45] * TaloToecan poofs into ambit at the Gate, both Shays and Lucian in tow. "Even cross-realm, whenever something happens, it always happens to interrupt. Ah well, shall we go find out...beyond mental whispers...what is happening?"
[17:45] * Keara looks around the main room, before following the others hesitantly
[17:45] Lkeas: You want to dispel the portal, Rim?  It might be important..
[17:45] * LordBarrius yawns and stretches in the corner as he awakens, then takes a quick glance around to see what all the fuss is about. "Huh? What about a lightning bolt now?"
[17:46] Voice:  It is failing... i cannot hold on the portal is collapsing. Mother... stay away from that edge..... Mother!?!
[17:46] Rimblade: "Me?  Did I say me?"
[17:46] * Lkeas trails off as she hears Talo's voice faintly downstairs.  "Talo?  Is that you?  You guys better get up here!"
[17:46] * Roch emerges from his room a moment later, holding a large club of sandstone. "Not too durable," he mutters, "But it'll do."
[17:47] Voice:  she got caught at the edge of the portal when it collapsed... I am detecting a temporal inconsistency.... I have to close the portal... I
[17:47] Eitak_Razal: No time!
[17:47] Eitak_Razal: We have to go through!
[17:47] >Ambiance<: The rip greys and then reality inverts day becoming night and up down for a second
[17:47] Eitak_Razal: Its going to close
[17:47] Eitak_Razal: Whee!
[17:47] Eitak_Razal: I'm on the ceiling
[17:47] >Ambiance<: The voices vanishes
[17:48] * TaloToecan begins to pick up more acute details beyond the merest mental whispers as he heads with only slight hurry inside...feeling woozy at the momentary feedback loop. "Hmmm...?"
[17:48] * Lkeas reels slightly from the disorientation.  "What in Aloria..."
[17:48] >Ambiance<: The portal remains hanging there grey rather then purple
[17:48] Eitak_Razal: Somethings wrong. It turned grey
[17:48] Puddles: "Field trippp!"
[17:48] * LordBarrius seems rather confused by the odd shift. "Does your house normally flip itself upside down?"
[17:49] Puddles: "Yes."
[17:49] Puddles: "All the time."
[17:49] Puddles: "And Shayril, your husband lost his memory."
[17:50] * Lisa falls from the portal clutching her side which has a ragged wound
[17:50] * Lkeas gasps in alarm.  "Lisa!"
[17:50] * Shayril moves to steady Lucian who is not used to the strange sensations of these portals, whereas his 'mothers' have grown at least mildly accustomed to such things. After Barrius' statement however she glances at him with a bit of confusion, then her eyes widen at Puddles' words. "What?"
[17:50] * The portal vanishes with a concusive woosh
[17:50] Lkeas: What's happened?  Where did you come from?
[17:50] Rimblade: "Oh, see?  It's not Matthew after all."
[17:50] * Keara blinks, and drops to one knee, disorientated slightly
[17:50] * Roch rushes back into his room for a handful of sand, and throws this curiously through the portal just before it closes.
[17:50] * Durroth blinks
[17:50] Eitak_Razal: Lisa?
[17:51] Puddles: "... Ohai Lisa. Are you here to give us a choice again?"
[17:51] * Lisa  spots Damsel and rushes to her hugging her tightly
[17:51] Durroth: Lisa... are you okay?
[17:51] Lisa:  Oh god Shayril you made it! I was terrified when the portal collapsed I was the only one....
[17:51] * TaloToecan glances at Lisa and whichever Damsel she chose to hug.
[17:52] LordBarrius: "Really?  That's, er, enjoyable I suppose....if your head happens to be filled with odd things.  Still...."  Rather than reply further to the elemental's antics, he decides to focus his attention on the newly arrived Lisa.
[17:52] * Lisa turns toward Oceshay without recognition but then spots Talo
[17:52] De`thion: um... whats going on?
[17:52] Lisa:  Talo.... you made it out alive too.... Thank the powers
[17:52] * Shayril places her arms around Lisa for a moment, confusion over everything happening so quickly evident on her face.
[17:52] TaloToecan: "Made it out alive? Forgive me, Lisa...but...whatever do you mean?"
[17:52] Lisa:  What of my son and his father?
[17:53] * Lkeas stumbles downstairs, still a bit shaken from the odd sensation of the world flipping upside down.  "Talo..?  You don't know what she's talking about either?"
[17:53] Lisa:  What do I mean? You... do not know... could my calculations be that off...
[17:53] Eitak_Razal: We haven't seen Gaiden since we were on Technocrancy Prime.... Unless the others met him and didn't tell me...
[17:53] Rimblade: "She's discovered the 'Don't Tell Eitak' conspiracy!  We are thwarted."
[17:54] ((Tech prime meories not integrated))
[17:54] Eitak_Razal: ((We have some of them!
[17:54] Puddles: ((Falerin disagrees?))
[17:54] * Lkeas shakes her head in confusion.  "Gaiden?  Who's that?"
[17:54] LordBarrius: ((Not THAT one though.))
[17:54] Falerin: ((thats true but not yesterdays))
[17:54] * Oceshay takes a step backwards to be out of the way of what's occuring, suspecting her existance is not recognized because she is less the 'true' split.
[17:54] Falerin: ((Which is what that one entails))
[17:55] * TaloToecan frowns slightly. "I daresay our memories of that time are...slow to be remembered. Scattered, incomplete, as if...I've forgotten and yet should be there. I would assume you would understand what such a difficulty, particularly to a being of Memory, might mean."
[17:55] Eitak_Razal: ((It does? But we've seen him before that? Bah, void everything I said then
[17:55] Falerin: ((You knew him but not that he is her son))
[17:55] Falerin: (( that was not ever said  before yesterady ))
[17:55] TaloToecan: "For obviously you know more than I...for instance, who your son is?"
[17:55] Eitak_Razal: ((Oh my bad. Ignore that))
[17:56] * Oceshay also gently tugs Lucian out of the way, him whispering to her. "What's going on, mom?" She shakes her head slightly. "I don't know. Just watch for now..."
[17:56] Eitak_Razal: Yeah who is he?
[17:56] Rimblade: "Now wait just a tick.  Who are YOU, and why did you create a portal here?"
[17:57] * Lisa gasps and staggers holding the wound
[17:57] Lisa: You do not remember.... how could...Oh god did Gaiden and Ryuusei make it out or not
[17:57] * Lkeas is torn between wanting to embrace her returned family, having not seen them in so long, and wanting to know why Lisa is present.  She figures welcomes can wait for the moment and gestures to the elder Shayril.  "Lisa is injured..."
[17:57] Durroth: we dont know
[17:57] * Kazuma is sleeping, the little jerk
[17:57] * TaloToecan glances at both of the Shays. "I believe, sister and dearest, that this is your specialty."
[17:58] * Roch tosses the club back into his room, follows the others down the stairs, and begins trying to figure out what on earth is going on.
[17:58] * Shayril's gaze suddenly clears, finding something she where she feels she has her footing. "Lisa, will you allow me to heal your wound?"
[17:58] * Lisa collapses unconcious
[17:58] Puddles: "Um... I don't think she'll object, Shayril."
[17:58] * Shayril moves to try and catch the woman quickly before she hits the ground, possibly causing more damage.
[17:59] Shayril: "So much for asking permission..."
[17:59] LordBarrius: "Mmm, yeah.  Might want to get that patched up before you explain any further, actually.  It looks a bit nasty...." he cuts himself off as he notes her unconscious state.  "Er, right, or that'll work too."  He chuckles a bit nervously while rubbing the back of his head.
[17:59] * TaloToecan sighs lightly. "I feel slightly...conflicted. I almost want to pick through her mind, but it is not like I am invited to, nor have acclimated to...picking up the more surface of thoughts either."
[17:59] * Lkeas frowns severely as she hears Ryuusei's name.  "Ryuusei... Gaiden... son, and... father?  Gods, if that's true.."
[17:59] Puddles: "Seee, Shayril? Barrius is too friendly!"
[17:59] * Eitak_Razal freezes. She looks alarmed. "Lisa is 4 months out of place...
[18:00] * Shayril bends over Lisa and ignores the chatter, focusing as she knows she must on healing the woman.
[18:00] * Keara regains her footing, and walks downstairs again, keeping close to the walls uncertain of what's happening.
[18:00] * Lkeas steps away from Lisa to give Shayril some room to work.  "What does it mean..."
[18:01] Eitak_Razal: It means that portal brought her 4 months into the future
[18:01] Eitak_Razal: or past... Though i'm pretty sure it was the former
[18:01] * TaloToecan sighs softly. "I could confirm that for absolute certainty, but be reminded, Archivist, that there are dozens of analogs. And I cannot remember where else other than the Technocracy Prime plane where we have met any Gaiden..."
[18:03] * Oceshay considers. "Our meeting him however is not the requirement for them to exist. It could be a number of analogs... though if we're supposed to know something from the past that we've forgotten, the technocracy does seem a likely cause."
[18:03] * TaloToecan sighs heavily. "Though the fact that I cannot *remember* puts me in a distraught enough state."
[18:03] Arden:  her arrival does not encourage one to polite social niceties
[18:03] Arden:  That wound is a gunshot
[18:04] Arden:  Whatever drove her here was aggressive and may follow
[18:04] Eitak_Razal: Clearly
[18:04] Arden:  We need to know what and why
[18:04] Eitak_Razal: Unless they are capible of time travel Arden, we are sace
[18:04] Puddles: "Should we prepare tea and crumpets or prepare massive spells?"
[18:04] Eitak_Razal: *safe
[18:04] * Shayril remains focused on trying to heal Lisa's wounds.
[18:05] * TaloToecan sighs and glances at Arden. "If you are going to be so adamant, why not go ahead and demand that I literally rape her mind for the details you seem to desire, Arden?"
[18:05] Arden: I might point out to you Queen Eitak... that this woman is involved with NOVA and Ryuusei Cartwright
[18:05] Arden: Therefore the safer assumption is that in fact they CAN employ time travel
[18:05] Eitak_Razal: Very true.
[18:06] * Lkeas looks troubled at the remarks being made, and moves to the scrolls piled up somewhat haphazardly, searching for something.
[18:06] Durroth: what and why can wait until she wakes up
[18:06] Durroth: unless we plan to investigate ourselves
[18:06] Lkeas: Lisa's son... there was something.. but, we have to keep it safe...
[18:06] * Lucian, in the meantime, plops down on the floor against a wall. This is far over his head and he has better things he can do with his time, like seeing what exactly he can do with the pieces and parts 'Grandpa' Hadin gave him before they left.
[18:06] * TaloToecan frowns at the very thought, knowing he is letting his frustrations of the moment obviously get the better of his tongue and rational.
[18:07] * Lkeas begins opening scrolls more urgently.  "If he follows after her, he can't know..."
[18:07] Arden: Your moral outrage is untoward Ferret... I am not suggesting you rape her mind...
[18:07] Arden: The events that caused her injury however are bound to be right at the surface
[18:07] Arden: Are they not
[18:07] Rimblade: "Oh-ho!"
[18:08] TaloToecan: "Why thank you, considering I would refuse anyway. Surface thoughts are one thing, but the unconcious mind makes even those harder to grasp...but, I can try, if you would like?"
[18:08] Arden: What I would like is hardly relevant
[18:08] Arden: What I would like is for this issue to have not occured
[18:08] Arden: But it has...
[18:08] Arden: I can therefore only speak to what I recommend
[18:09] Arden: Given your beligerence however... you are on your own
[18:09] * Arden gestures and apports out
[18:09] * TaloToecan nods softly and closes his eyes. "I only pray that I am not walking into an elegant trap..."
[18:10] * Lkeas finds what she apparently was looking for, and breathes a sigh of relief.  "It's still here."
[18:10] * Keara listens, quietly following the conversation, her eyes widen slightly, concerned as Talo mentions a trap.
[18:10] Lkeas: Guys, we have to hide this scroll.
[18:11] Puddles: "Burn it with fire, we'll fix it later!"
[18:11] Eitak_Razal: We can rip it up and hide it on our various home worlds
[18:11] * LordBarrius sighs faintly and relaxes back into his seat. "Hide it where? Where do you hide scrolls in a house?"
[18:11] Puddles: "Or we can hide it in the forge."
[18:11] * Oceshay watches Talo a bit worridly, wanting to reach out to him but knowing that if it is a trap, it could quite possibly spread through such simple contact.
[18:11] Eitak_Razal: Or puddles can eat it
[18:11] * Lkeas winces at the prospect of destroying information.  "I don't know if I'll be able to recall it properly later.  And this is of great import to Lisa."
[18:11] Puddles: "Or we can hide it in the forge."
[18:12] * Roch looks at Lkeas thoughtfully. "I can make a container for it, to look like pretty much anything."
[18:12] Eitak_Razal: As I said. Cut it up and hide it on various worlds'
[18:12] * TaloToecan grimaces slightly and winces with closed eyes. "Something must have gone terribly, terribly wrong..."
[18:12] Puddles: "And Eitak, if I eat something, you see it inside me."
[18:12] Eitak_Razal: Make the badguys go on the long exasuting quest for once
[18:12] Rimblade: "Hide it in my umbrella, and send that into orbit.  It's the only way."
[18:12] * Keara writes 'Give it to someone, then it'll be constantly with someone.' and holds up her board in Lkeas' direction.
[18:12] LordBarrius: "Cutting up a scroll is downright silly."
[18:12] Roch: "It would be a simple approach, of course, but perhaps unexpected.
[18:13] Puddles: "Um... Razal. Do you want Cartwright on your world?"
[18:13] Durroth: hide it in the statue
[18:13] Durroth: we're not using it for the laptop anymore
[18:13] * Lkeas nods towards Keara and Roch.  "I had thought about keeping it myself, but Ryuusei has been known to target me before."
[18:13] >Ambiance<: Lisa's physical wounds heal but her breathing becomes even more shallow and ragged in spite of this
[18:13] Durroth: since the laptop is now a cellphone
[18:13] Eitak_Razal: It is?
[18:13] * TaloToecan opens his eyes and glances swiftly at Eitak before looking back at Lisa. "She has slipped into a coma, Shayrils, in case you both are too distracted by the body to notice the mind."
[18:13] Durroth: and eitak is still not allowed near it
[18:13] Eitak_Razal: Why not?
[18:14] Puddles: "Does anyone want Cartwright on their homeworld?"
[18:14] Eitak_Razal: No.
[18:14] Durroth: because we dont trust you not to screw something up.
[18:14] Eitak_Razal: But how powerful can he be on my world.
[18:14] Lkeas: The statue...
[18:14] Eitak_Razal: We can shut magic off on my world..
[18:14] Puddles: "He doesn't use magic, Razal."
[18:14] * Roch looks at the scroll apprainingly. "I'm not sure what I could make it into, but I think I could manage SOMETHING inconspicuous. A bookend or something."
[18:14] Eitak_Razal: Oh..
[18:14] * Keara holds out her bag she keeps all her herbs in, and writes 'I could look after it, I'm new enough that he's unlikely to know or target me.'
[18:14] Puddles: "It's all psionics."
[18:15] Eitak_Razal: Then we just toss him into a the rift between time and space the instent he steps foot on the world un-invited
[18:15] Lkeas: Okay... Roch, if you could manage some sort of transformation and Keara could keep it, that might be best, for now.
[18:15] * Oceshay smiles sadly at Talo. "The mind is not something we can heal, unfortunately. We attend to what we can."
[18:15] Rimblade: "Because we're sure to outsmart 'em that way."
[18:15] * Lkeas hands the scroll to him.
[18:15] TaloToecan: "That may already be too late...in any case, the Cartwright we all know and hate had Smith dispatched after them like any other hitman."
[18:16] TaloToecan: "A hitman to kill Ryuusei and capture both her and her son Gaiden."
[18:16] Durroth: ... damn him!
[18:17] * Roch nods and takes the scroll, turning it about in his hands. Turning to Keara, he asks, "What sort of things do you keep with you, Keara? What might not look out of place?"
[18:17] * Oceshay frowns. "I have to say... I'm not surprised that one is behind this. But to go even after his own sister and wife..."
[18:18] * Keara opens the bag she motioned at before, displaying lots of small bags tied in intricate little knots.
[18:18] * Lkeas shakes her head as her attention is drawn back to the conversation at hand.  "Destroying his analogs.. and connections..."
[18:18] Durroth: Despicable bastard
[18:18] * TaloToecan sighs heavily and leans slightly towards Oceshay. "Eitak...if she ever awakens, she is very, very angry at you. I do not know what you might have done, but for once, it might be too large to forgive."
[18:19] Eitak_Razal: Me?
[18:19] Eitak_Razal: What could I have done to make her mad at me?
[18:19] Durroth: ...
[18:19] Eitak_Razal: Are you sure your reading her mind right?
[18:19] Durroth: I'm sure you managed something
[18:19] * Roch peers into the bag, murmuring, "I can't change the size, or the shape really..."
[18:19] * Oceshay gently places an arm around Talo, offering her support.
[18:19] * Lkeas scowls at Eitak.  "You question his prowess?  He is perhaps the most accomplished telepath here!"
[18:19] * Eitak_Razal frowns
[18:20] Rimblade: "Probably."
[18:20] * Oceshay sighs softly, looking at Lisa sadly. "I hope she does indeed awake again."
[18:20] * Lkeas turns back to Roch.  "Would it help to fold the parchment in a different way, to adjust its shape?"
[18:20] * TaloToecan growls lightly. "I am damn sure to have picked up on the last coherent thought of hers prior to Mistress Death wrapping her mind in the grey mists that even *I* cannot penetrate. Mists that are unusual and unnatural in and of themselves...someone, please find Uriel. Or the cellphone."
[18:20] TaloToecan: "Being that one is the other and the same."
[18:21] Eitak_Razal: Perhaps I should hide...
[18:22] * LordBarrius snickers faintly in his seat. "Do you ever make *good* suggestions about what to do?"
[18:23] * Keara looks at Roch expectantly, following the main flow of conversation at the same time.
[18:23] Eitak_Razal: I had one with the scroll...
[18:23] Oceshay: "Did Durroth not have it last?"
[18:23] * Roch scratches his beard thoughtfully. "Perhaps a pestle would not be out of place. I think I could fit this inside one..."
[18:23] Puddles: "Wait, but Barrius, you haven't said anything either."
[18:24] Puddles: "I mean, you asked us where we could hide a scroll in a house."
[18:24] LordBarrius: "Did you?  A scroll isn't a wild hog."
[18:24] LordBarrius: "You can't exactly dice it up."
[18:24] * Keara kneels down and rapidly reorganises her bag so that something a pestle size would easily fit in.
[18:24] * LordBarrius eyes the elemental. "Yes, I did. And apparently the suggestion passed you by."
[18:25] * TaloToecan glances to Oceshay. "I fear the Cold...or rather, another version of persistent remnant."
[18:25] Eitak_Razal: Yeah you can.
[18:26] * Eitak_Razal grabs a blank one and produces her sword. She makes little marks to tell the peices are apart an cuats it up
[18:26] Eitak_Razal: Tada!
[18:26] * Eitak_Razal thne puts it back together
[18:26] * Eitak_Razal uses tape of course
[18:26] Eitak_Razal: TADA!
[18:26] * Shayril moves back from Lisa, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Well, the damage has been healed. I have done all I can..."
[18:27] * De`thion fishes the cellphone out of his jacket pocket "its right here"
[18:27] * Lkeas sighs.  "Listen, Keara and Roch are working on a plan, we'll be alright for now.  Let's not keep drawing attention to it in case he shows up."
[18:27] LordBarrius: "You must live in a fantasy world where splitting up a valuable item is a good idea.  Are there pretty pink bunnies where you come from?"
[18:27] TaloToecan: "Please, someone, find Uriel or the cellphone that harbors that program sentience?"
[18:27] * Roch nods towards Keara and says, "Just a moment." He slips the scroll into a pocket and walks out the front door of the Abode, begining his search for a suitable rock.
[18:27] Puddles: "No, I suggested hiding it in the forge."
[18:27] Eitak_Razal: They make us go after something thats in alot of peices, why don't we make them do it,
[18:28] Puddles: "I mean who puts paper in a forge?"
[18:28] Eitak_Razal: Even so...
[18:28] * Lkeas tugs De'thion gently towards TaloToecan.  "Here, he's got it.."
[18:28] Lkeas: What do we need Uriel for?
[18:28] * Eitak_Razal takes the fake she made. "We'll use this as a decoy"
[18:28] * Keara nods.
[18:28] * TaloToecan sighs heavily. "To confirm my fears."
[18:29] LordBarrius: "You were suggesting we split up an item we may need later, which suggests we'd have to go through the trouble of obtaining it again and piecing it back together.  Not to mention, any clever 'bad guy' would simply wait until we *did* need it, then let us do their work.  Why waste effort?"
[18:29] Puddles: "I know, let's copy down the log, but everywhere it says the right child, put Eitak's name!"
[18:29] Puddles: "Then we can like... Um... Use her as a decoy?"
[18:29] Eitak_Razal: Like he would belive that
[18:30] Durroth: I dunno
[18:30] LordBarrius: "My suggestion, which that one..." he directs a thumb at Puddles "seemed to miss was that....this is a house.  Houses have scrolls.  It's not difficult to hide such an item.  It could even be hidden in plain sight and not be picked up immediately."
[18:30] * Lkeas winces and gestures at the lot of them to pipe down.  "Talo said Smith was sent after Lisa, he might arrive here at any moment.  Let's not let him find us still discussing this, ok?"
[18:30] >Ambiance<: A flash is scene and then a smell akin to 2 billion rotting skunk carcasses stacked in a sulfur pool fills the hall
[18:30] Eitak_Razal: Right.
[18:30] Durroth: ... What the... oh come on! Damnit eitak!
[18:31] Eitak_Razal: What?
[18:31] * Durroth immediately removes his nose
[18:31] * TaloToecan glances at De'thion. "Could you activate Uriel, if he is not already aware?"
[18:31] Eitak_Razal: It wasn't me!
[18:31] * Roch finds a rock big enough lying on the ground outside, and nonchalantly picks it up. Hefting it in his hand, he comes back into the Abode and places scroll and rock side by side on the ground. Patting down his pockets for something he doesn't have, he looks back up to Keara. "Could I borrow some chalk, by chance?"
[18:31] De`thion: *Ack* I'll *cough* try
[18:31] * Eitak_Razal covers her nose.
[18:31] * De`thion turns on the cell phone while gagging
[18:32] Voice:  Thanks for detonating me.... I am Chronobomb 9000 now decomissioned
[18:32] * Lkeas covers her nose, unsure whether to be afraid or disgusted.  "Eitak... the sword..."
[18:32] * TaloToecan thankfully shuts his olfactory receptors off. Then glares at Eitak. "You were warned of chronomancy."
[18:32] * Shayril and Oceshay have very similar reactions. Their hands move to cover their respective noses and mouths, even as their eyes start watering.
[18:32] * Eitak_Razal forgot!
[18:32] * LordBarrius shudders at the stench and slips back into the shadows of the corner. "What an awful smell. Don't smells like that normally come with a warning or something?"
[18:33] * Keara passes herchalk over to Roch, frowning as one hand covers her nose and mouth, gagging slightly at the stench.
[18:33] >Ambiance<: The smell seems to cling to and emenate from Eitak
[18:33] Puddles: "It's Eitak's deodorant."
[18:33] Eitak_Razal: "It was part of my plan... To keep the bad guys away
[18:33] Puddles: "Imagine the smell she's trying to cover up."
[18:33] * Lucian pulls his shirt up to cover his nose, refusing to stop on what progress he's made especially because he hasn't fully secured some of the pieces, just for a smell. However it is obvious he's having trouble concentrating and has to blink often.
[18:33] * TaloToecan grimaces, given that his biological components are not so easily subverted. "By the Lords..."
[18:33] >Ambiance<: Suddenly a dark expression crosses Eitak's face
[18:34] * Roch coughs slightly as he accepts the chalk, begining to draw a simple transmutation circle on a bare patch of floor. He finishes it and hands the chalk back.
[18:34] * Eitak_Razal raises her hand a cold gust of air flows through the abode causing a light frost on all exposed surfaces...
[18:34] >Ambiance<: The scent vanishes
[18:34] Rimblade: "Uh."
[18:34] Durroth: ... what the hell?
[18:35] Durroth: since when can eitak do that?
[18:35] * Lkeas shivers involuntarily and watches Eitak with growing concern.  "Eitak..."
[18:35] * Eitak_Razal's expression clears to normal and she seems to not notice
[18:35] Eitak_Razal: Where did the smell go?
[18:35] * TaloToecan blinks and narrows his eyes at Eitak. "That...blessful as it is...should NOT be possible."
[18:35] LordBarrius: "Oh, that's just cold.  I wasn't aware she was an ice queen."
[18:35] Rimblade: "Ice?  Try... um.... not ice!"
[18:35] Eitak_Razal: What are you talking about LB?
[18:36] * Durroth looks from Eitak to de`thion suspiciously "I dont suppose that was one of sammael's friends or something?"
[18:36] * Puddles shakes the frost off himself. "Brr... My egggs!" He quickly hops a top the pile of 30k Grenwog eggs, slithering over the whole thing until its all defrost. "Hmph."
[18:36] De`thion: hell if I know
[18:36] * Keara slowly removes her hand from her nose distrustfully
[18:36] Eitak_Razal: Why is everyone stareing at me? And why the heck is it so cold?
[18:36] * TaloToecan shivers lightly and the frost upon him melts
[18:36] Lkeas: C-cold...
[18:37] LordBarrius: "El Bee?  Who on the various elemental planes is that?"
[18:37] * Oceshay coughs, trying to clear her senses of the horrible stench. Shayril however turns towards LordBarrius, wiping away the tearing the occurred from the smell. "Barrius? You're... Have you really forgotten?"
[18:37] Eitak_Razal: If he doesn't recall being called LB then yes.
[18:37] * Durroth considers smacking Eitak
[18:38] * Keara begins to rub at her exposed skin with one hand, the other wiping the frost off her belongings, shivering lightly.
[18:38] * Lkeas reaches under the couch and draws her salvation blade warily, moving toward Roch protectively as he finishes his work.
[18:38] * Eitak_Razal really has no memory of the magic she just cast.
