The Epic - Session LIII: Part 1

From Caelwiki

[17:28] >Ambiance<: There is a familiar tugging sensation as if your stomach is being twisted
[17:28] * Elenor puts it on, under her robes.
[17:28] Cerbero: ((T_T))
[17:28] Durroth: aw crap
[17:28] * Nick grabs his stomach.
[17:28] Durroth: not again
[17:28] GT: "Now what is going on?"
[17:28] silversyte: aw come on
[17:28] Nick: Now!
[17:28] * Lkeas doubles over. "Geez, not a moment of peace.."
[17:28] Stromy: "Bad things..."
[17:28] Elenor: Oh hell
[17:28] * Strider grasp his stoamach
[17:28] Strider: "What is this??
[17:28] * Clyde hunches over with pain, grabbing his stomach tightly. ".Not.....again!"
[17:28] LordBarrius: "No...."
[17:28] * Genoclysm awakens to the sensation.
[17:28] Elenor: Bad, that's what it is.
[17:28] Genoclysm: Huh...?
[17:28] * Damsel stirs faintly at first at LordBarrius' shifting, then her eyes snap fully open. "What?!"
[17:28] Strider: "Elenor..whats happeneing??"
[17:29] >Ambiance<: The Abode vanishes arround you... the city of Fair Harbor momentarily visible through the glassy non-walls
[17:29] De`thion: round and round and yound it goes...
[17:29] GT: "Okay, this is getting odd..."
[17:29] De`thion: where it stops...
[17:29] * Taimat reforms to his natural state,clutching his stomach "What...Is this feeling?
[17:29] Stromy: "I think it stopped?"
[17:29] silversyte: a hate when this happens
[17:29] Nick: Nobody Knows!
[17:29] GT: "Is the abode always this crazy at night?"
[17:29] Elenor: Oh hell. Not again.
[17:29] Stromy: "All Hallow's Eve is approaching"
[17:29] * Strider spreads his wings. "The Abode...is gone...:"
[17:29] Elenor: No, thankfully this isn't usual.
[17:29] Rimblade: "It's a BIT unusual."
[17:30] Rimblade: "Give it that."
[17:30] Selarep: "Meh. You get used to it after a while."
[17:30] Stromy: "A bit"
[17:30] silversyte: its still annoying
[17:30] Elenor: Well, it isn't that common.
[17:30] Elenor: But that that rare.
[17:30] >Ambiance<: A large postmodern urban lanscape takes the place of Fairharbor
[17:30] Taimat: "Ugh...First my hand and now this?"
[17:30] Elenor: ((But not that rare))
[17:30] Strider: "Well sense this is my first day here..and this kinda stuff is happening..."
[17:30] Genoclysm: Uh... where're we going this time?
[17:30] GT: "Now where are we?"
[17:30] Stromy: "Looks urban"
[17:30] Elenor: Some really screwed up things happened on my first day too
[17:30] De`thion: ooh, where are we now?
[17:31] * Damsel slowly extracts her arm from around LordBarrius' back, smiling at him fainting and apologetically. "Another Delphi wave?"
[17:31] >Ambiance<: A large forest takes the place of the postmodern landscape
[17:31] Elenor: The hell?
[17:31] silversyte: Ooh forest.
[17:31] Strider: "Are we being moved somewhere??"
[17:31] LBB_LurkKing: Ooh.
[17:31] GT: "Changing scenery."
[17:31] GT: "What, are we in Limbo again?"
[17:31] * LBB_LurkKing bounds over to Rimblade, taking a flying leap onto his shoulder.
[17:31] >Ambiance<: The walls of the abode resolidify
[17:31] * Lkeas frowns. "That's odd... doesn't usually change twice..."
[17:31] LBB_LurkKing: Hi ho Silver! AWAY!
[17:31] * TaloToecan remains quite mute during all of this, though his eyes grow quite worried indeed.
[17:31] * Lkeas trails off in surprise as the abode reappears.
[17:31] Elenor: Reality tends to take breaks around here.
[17:31] Stromy: "Odd..."
[17:31] Nick: Where are we now.
[17:31] GT: "Strange..."
[17:31] Strider: "Elenor I notcied."
[17:31] GT: "I have an odd feeling about this."
[17:32] Strider: "Don't we all?"
[17:32] Stromy: "Are we sure this is the abode?"
[17:32] * LordBarrius smiles faintly at Damsel back before struggling to get himself to stand.
[17:32] Falerin: ((Channel is closed.... Epic is Mandatory))





[17:32] Selarep: "Hmm...What now, I wonder?"
[17:32] Strider: "If only I knew...
[17:32] Clyde: "What does this mean?"
[17:32] * Damsel slowly climbs to her feet as well.
[17:32] GT: "So what's going on here?"
[17:32] silversyte: woo hoo vactaion.
[17:33] De`thion: huzzah!
[17:33] Elenor: Uhm.. It looks like we're back in the abode..
[17:33] Stromy: "Search me"
[17:33] * TaloToecan slowly peels his eyes away from the now solid walls to look at first Damsel and LordBarrius, then over to Lkeas.
[17:33] Stromy: ((Is the computer working?))
[17:33] Rimblade: "THIS bit, however, isn't unusual."
[17:33] Rimblade: "Even a little."
[17:33] * Lkeas shakes her head and works her way to her feet, stumbling towards a window.  "Is Fair Harbour back, too?"
[17:33] Strider: "First we go to town, then some other pleace, then a forest, then here. This is...odd."
[17:33] * Damsel takes a deep breath, steadying herself mentally. "Well... I suppose there will be no rest after all."
[17:33] Elenor: Something's up.
[17:33] Stromy: "Can anyone check and see if we are actually in the Abode, maybe this is just an illusion"
[17:34] silversyte: Maybe we are on vacation.
[17:34] * Strider touches a couch."
[17:34] * Taimat blinks several times,trying to see if what he is seeing is real
[17:34] * Genoclysm rubs his eyes sleepilly.
[17:34] De`thion: maybe we should check outside, make sure we didnt land on any witches
[17:34] * Cy looks around. "Wha?"
[17:34] * Brink yawns ever so slightly.
[17:34] Stromy: "Well I do need some new shoes"
[17:35] * TaloToecan slowly unlocks himself, wincing with the pain of movement, as his eyes widen while looking outside the windows that he can.
[17:35] * Elenor summons her sword and belts it on. "Just incase we end up somewhere without magic.."
[17:35] * Nick moves near a window aswell.
[17:35] silversyte: Hopefully whatever is gonna happens soon.
[17:35] Taimat: "I have an uneasy feeling about all of this..."
[17:35] * Strider opens his wings, his eyes turn brown and he moves to the windowseal.
[17:35] Rimblade: "I have two uneasy feelings."
[17:35] Stromy: "The feeling is mutual"
[17:35] silversyte: Is one hunger?
[17:35] GT: "I am always tired of having things go crazy here."
[17:35] Clyde: "I don't like where this is going?"
[17:35] * Cy holds his scythe in one hand and walks over to the door.
[17:36] * silversyte yawns and leans back against the wall
[17:36] Rimblade: "I don't suppose...."
[17:36] Rimblade: "No, you don't think.... oh gods, no..."
[17:36] Rimblade: "Could it be a TAX AUDIT?"
[17:36] GT: "Rim."
[17:36] * Taimat moves over to a wall,clutching Rairinyami tightly
[17:36] Strider: "Do things like this happen alot here?"
[17:36] Nick: All the time Strider.
[17:37] De`thion: since we werent expecting it
[17:37] Elenor: Yeah, this is the place for crazy things.
[17:37] De`thion: theres only one thing it coulda been
[17:37] * Strider walks to the door and opens it. "Maybe we should look outside..."
[17:37] De`thion: NOBODY expects the spanish inquisition!
[17:37] Selarep: "...Not the Spanish Inquisition."
[17:37] silversyte: give it time someone usually appears and warns or threatens us
[17:38] * Strider closes door. "Ok then silver wait it is..."
[17:38] * Damsel looks calmly about the room, quiet and thoughtful.
[17:38] Taimat: "I may be weak right now,but i still have SOME fight left in me..."
[17:38] * TaloToecan clicks his tongue at Lkeas plaintatively, wincing with every touch of his injured forepaw on the ground.
[17:38] * Clyde patiently waits for what is to come next.
[17:38] silversyte: Calm before the storm.
[17:38] * De`thion subconsciously reaches for the pocket of the jacket he isnt wearing, but if he were would probably have a red robe and wide brimmed hat in there somewhere
[17:38] Strider: "right now the curse is not hurting me. If someone appears I'm ready to fight."
[17:38] * Lkeas turns away from the window towards Talo.  "You look terrible, brother.."
[17:38] * Lkeas bends down to offer her hands to carry him.
[17:39] Elenor: ... Eh, it can't jus tbe over.
[17:39] * Genoclysm waits and watches the others.
[17:39] * Taimat looks expectantly at Lkeas,waiting for whatever comes next.
[17:39] * TaloToecan nods to her in appreciative thanks, then tilts his head at the window.
[17:39] * LordBarrius glances around quietly before noting Talo. His eyes glint in apology briefly and he starts to move towards him, but halting as Lkeas gets there first.
[17:39] silversyte: Who do you think it is this time?
[17:39] * Nick pulls out a small flask, uncorks it and takes a shot before putting it back into his pocket.
[17:39] Strider: "Nick give me some of that...I feel kind of nervous right now."
[17:40] silversyte: Nervous?
[17:40] * Damsel speaks quietly. "Perhaps it's nothing." Her tone indicates, however, that she doesn't fully suspect that's the case herself.
[17:40] * Elenor sighs.
[17:40] * Brink smiles at Nick. "Never leave home without it do you?"
[17:40] Strider: "Well its not everyday this happens."
[17:40] silversyte: Close enough.
[17:40] Elenor: Not quite, but it sure isn't a rare occurance around here.
[17:40] * Nick laughs "My Flask is my baby, you know this Brink."
[17:40] Cy: "Its not its every week this happens."
[17:41] * Brink smiles and chuckles. "Indeed I do."
[17:41] * Taimat reaches into his pocket and pulls out a strange container,then he holds it to his lips and squeezes a thin brown liquid from it,sliding past his lips and down his parched throat.
[17:41] Strider: "Everyweek, eh? Thats...odd."
[17:41] Stromy: "Not here it isn't:
[17:41] Stromy: "
[17:41] silversyte: Not really
[17:41] De`thion: I dont trust this
[17:41] De`thion: we shifted
[17:41] Stromy: "We shifted 3 times"
[17:41] De`thion: so we're either somewhere else or something else is here
[17:42] Cy: "At least im not human."
[17:42] Cy: "Wheres Arden maybe he can summon Falerin for us."
[17:42] * LordBarrius sighs softly and moves to be in close proximity to Damsel, though avoiding contact directly in case she would prefer that. "No one run off anywhere. We'd be best to stay together for the moment."
[17:42] GT: "I don't know where he is."
[17:42] Strider: "How about we all go to bed."
[17:42] * Lkeas picks up TaloToecan gingerly, and gently carries him up to her chest level so he might also get a view out the window.
[17:42] Stromy: "Probably not the wisest course of action"
[17:42] silversyte: Which god do you think did this this time?
[17:42] Strider: "And forget this ever happened."
[17:42] Cy: "Strider. It doesnt work like that."
[17:42] Elenor: Strider, that's foolish.
[17:43] Strider: "A simple joke. Sorry..."
[17:43] Cy: "And I am an android I dont sleep."
[17:43] >Ambiance<:  Those who look through the windows of the Abode notice that the vast forest is still quite visible, with the trees amazingly tall. Taller than a terran Sequoia, and quite so at that.
[17:43] * Stromy looks at Talo, "Do you want some herbs to dull the pain? I have a few in my pack"
[17:43] Cy: ((cy is at the door))
[17:43] * Strider walks to the window
[17:43] Strider: "Those trees...they are huge!!"
[17:43] GT: "I still get a bad feeling.  Something's up."
[17:43] * TaloToecan 's eyes grow wide at the sight of the forest, noting more than just the height as an oddity.
[17:43] silversyte: I wonder where we might be?
[17:43] Elenor: Uhm.. What?
[17:43] De`thion: so we're in a forest...
[17:43] * Damsel frowns faintly. "Oh dear... this reminds me of..." She glances at LordBarrius.
[17:43] Nick: Amazing...
[17:44] Cy: "If we can climb them, We can get a view of the land."
[17:44] Strider: "Should we go explore it?"
[17:44] * GT activates his "Hunter's Sight" hoping to find an unusual life-form nearby.
[17:44] De`thion: what kind of trees
[17:44] Selarep: "Hmm..."
[17:44] Stromy: "Reminds you of what?"
[17:44] * Lkeas mirrors Talo's expression on her own face.  "What now?  Should we go out?"
[17:44] * LBB_LurkKing hums the 1812 Overture.
[17:44] * Cy steps outside.
[17:44] * Clyde sees everyone leaving and decides now is the best time to check what's going on. "Hmm, a forest?"
[17:44] * Strider walks outside with Cy to observe.
[17:45] Strider: "Its clear were in a forest but where??
[17:45] * Cy walks up to a tree assuming he isnt killed when he steps out.
[17:45] * LordBarrius glances at Damsel quietly and nods quietly in confirmation, his own eyes growing worried now.
[17:45] * Taimat lowers the container from his lips,and offers it to Talo. "You look to be in quite some pain,this is a drink from my homeland,brewed using a secret tecnique passed down among our clan...It numbs pain,and carries a pleasant -though rather strong- taste with it..."
[17:45] >Ambiance<:  A cacaphony of keening calls and odder noises assault those who step outside, filtering in through the open door to the abode itself, though there is no sight of even the smallest of animal or bird.
[17:45] * Elenor takes a look out the door, but stays inside the abode.
[17:45] Elenor: Okay, that's strange.
[17:45] * Strider covers ears
[17:45] GT: "I am getting an unusual feeling about this place."
[17:45] De`thion: ... okay, its a noisy forest
[17:45] Cy: "Guys get out here."
[17:45] De`thion: hmm...
[17:46] Stromy: "What was your first clue GT?"
[17:46] Strider: "Mabye the trees are alive?"
[17:46] * Lkeas shakes her head slowly at Taimat.  "Talo's... not quite organic.  I'm not sure how your drink would affect his inner workings.."
[17:46] * Nick shivers at the sound slightly.
[17:46] Stromy: "The trees are alive..."
[17:46] * TaloToecan shakes his head negatively to Taimat, not being able to drink even if he wanted to, and unsure if it would work on a bioanidroid anyway.
[17:46] * GT takes a defensive pose, hoping to not be caught off guard, but he doesn't draw his claymore.
[17:46] * Cy puts his hand on a tree
[17:46] * De`thion tries to sense any nearby spirits, benevolent or otherwise
[17:46] * Genoclysm calmly observes. He's curious, but doubtful that anything could surprise him anymore.
[17:46] Rimblade: "Hmmmm."
[17:46] * Little_Brown_Box perches happily upon Rimblade's shoulder, observing all with an air of contentment.
[17:46] * TaloToecan nips Lkeas gently on the arm, and points his snout to the door, wanting a better look of the trees.
[17:47] silversyte: Wish something would happen already.
[17:47] * Strider uses his nose to sense any disturbances in the main area. "Where are we..."
[17:47] * Lkeas nods and follows the others outside.
[17:47] * Stromy walks outside to observe the trees
[17:47] Rimblade: "Silence, Silver!"
[17:47] * Taimat chuckles and shakes his head. "My apologies,i had no idea...Though these sounds...they do not sound...Natural..."
[17:47] * Nick walks with the group..
[17:47] Rimblade: "If you start wishing, BAD things might grant!"
[17:47] * Brink walks outside, humming himself a samml tune.
[17:47] * Damsel runs a hand through her hair. "I have a poor feeling about this..."
[17:47] * Selarep follows the others along.
[17:47] * TaloToecan scans the trees more closely, ignoring the height of the trees but rather looking at the trunks.
[17:47] * Clyde follows Lkeas outside, still trying to block out that noise.
[17:47] Strider: "Maybe we will be attacked.
[17:47] Little_Brown_Box: I wish, I wish, I wish upon a STAAAAAR...
[17:47] silversyte: I hope something happens soon.
[17:47] * GT slowly walks out, still in a defensive pose.
[17:47] De`thion: hmm... I dont seem to be getting anything at the moment
[17:48] * Cy thermal scans the area.
[17:48] Stromy: "Can someone please tell me if we are in the Abode?"
[17:48] * De`thion slowly keeps searching, expanding his spirit sense as much as he can trying to see if he can sense anything
[17:48] silversyte: Only if you want to be.
[17:48] * Damsel looks to LordBarrius. "I think we should follow." She starts to follow the others, though a bit more slowly so that LordBarrius can join her if he wishes
[17:48] * Strider wraps his wings around his body forming a shield. In addition he brings a shield of wind around him.
[17:48] Stromy: "I've yet to learn whether or not we are actually there, or if this is just a trick"
[17:49] * LordBarrius nods agreement and keeps an even pace with Damsel, not quite willing to leave her side anytime soon.
[17:49] * De`thion exits the abode slowly
[17:49] * Lkeas glances back at Stromy. "Well... the building seems the same, but this forest... not what we're accustomed to.."
[17:49] * Clyde slightly puts himself in front of Lkeas just incase. "Please..."
[17:49] * Cy waits for the Thermal Scan Results
[17:49] Rimblade: "Perhaps we should try...."
[17:49] >Ambiance<:  The keening calls continue, not constant but rather as random as nature seems on any other realm. Those who are outside and attentive, however, notice a uniform regularity of the spaces of the trees. Higher order analysis, for those capable, reveal precision on a geometric order.
[17:49] * Stromy nods at Lkeas' answer.
[17:49] * Brink turns to Nick, "What's your bre of choice this time?"
[17:50] * Cerbero snaps out of himself, after beeing silent, but strangely semi-unconscious
[17:50] Rimblade: "The M-Word."
[17:50] * Damsel moves to quicken her pace once she sees LordBarrius is with her, trying to catch up to the others.
[17:50] GT: "Hmm..."
[17:50] * Elenor looks at Cerbero. "We should go catch up with everyone."
[17:50] Cerbero: elenor?!
[17:50] * Stromy (capable in the sciences) attepts to discern the pattern
[17:50] * Cy "thats odd."
[17:50] Strider: We shuld explore.
[17:50] Cerbero: Oh, there you are...
[17:50] Nick: Just some good ol' brandy.
[17:50] GT: "These trees, their too rigid."
[17:50] Cerbero: What...just happened?
[17:50] * Cy tries to climb a tree
[17:50] De`thion: I'm either sensing no spirits or having an off day, either way thats a good thing




(netsplit)



[17:52] Stromy: "I know there is some pattern, I'm familiar with mathematics, but this seems to be stumping me right now"
[17:52] * Brink reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a small flask. He takes a swig. "And as you know I don't leave without mine, Nick."
[17:52] silversyte: same thing as usual
[17:52] * Taimat forms into his wolfen body,then bounds off into the distance,sniffing ar5ound as his does so,then procceds to run around the abode,looking for anything out of the ordinary,other than the irregular uniformity of the trees
[17:52] Strider: "Taimat I alread tried that. Theres not much to sense."
[17:52] * Nick laughs "Aye, great minds think alike"
[17:52] Cerbero: Elenor, could tell me what happened? I was not here in mind.
[17:52] * Brink looks at Taimat. "Boy, before you get a stick in your nose stop that."
[17:53] Elenor: Uhh, weird stuff, there's a forest out there now, and just about everyone went out.
[17:53] * Brink turns to Nick. "Indeed they do!" he chuckles thereafter.
[17:53] Elenor: We gotta go catch up to them.
[17:53] Stromy: "Why can't I figure this out?  This cannot be that hard of a geometric series to comprehend, yet..."
[17:53] * TaloToecan clicks up to Lkeas again, preferring to stay with the others.
[17:53] Cerbero: Okay.
[17:53] * Cerbero stands up and unsheathes his sword
[17:53] * silversyte looks to elenor and cerbero "have fun"
[17:53] * Lkeas shifts Talo to one arm and tugs at a lock of hair nervously as she follows after the others.
[17:53] Stromy: "Don't attack the trees"
[17:53] GT: "Everyone, stay at the ready.  I know that something's coming."
[17:53] * Cy tries to climb the tree again
[17:53] Lkeas: Where are we going?
[17:53] Elenor: Eh, put that away for now. No need to draw yet.
[17:53] * Brink looks at Nick. "Perhaps you and I could get a better look from above?"
[17:53] * Elenor is wearing hers, by the way.
[17:53] * Little_Brown_Box settles down and begins immitating the birdcalls, using its specialization in soundwaves to mimic then with lifelike precision.
[17:54] Cerbero: alright.
[17:54] Nick: We could, but I'd rather not...
[17:54] Elenor: Come on, let's go. Don't want them getting too far ahead of us.
[17:54] * Cerbero sheathes his sword and follows Elenor
[17:54] * Brink sits on a cushion of air which scuttles along with the rest of the group.
[17:54] * Stromy follows
[17:54] * Elenor heads out to carch up with the group.
[17:54] >Ambiance<:  The keening calls initially seem to disregard the imitations entirely.
[17:54] Brink: "Understood."
[17:54] GT: "Hmm..."
[17:54] Lkeas: I do hope someone with a good sense of direction is keeping track of where we left the abode..
[17:54] * Strider walks to Nick "Nick, if were attacked we should work together. My and yours manipulation should be overwhelming to a foe.
[17:54] * LordBarrius falls silent as he keeps pace with Damsel, trying to keep up with the group as he suspects it unwise to split.
[17:54] Nick: This forest seems oddly...desolate..
[17:54] * Brink takes another swig and pockets it again.
[17:54] * silversyte stays back
[17:54] GT: "Everyone, we should stay close together."
[17:54] * Rimblade is emboldened, and calls forth the image of another tree, this one bearing banannas.
[17:54] Cerbero: ...Should i trach them?
[17:55] * Nick is moving with the group still, if they're still moving.
[17:55] * Damsel looks around, remaining mostly silent, letting the others more eager (and chatty) charge ahead if they so please, but trying to keep them in sight.
[17:55] * Brink looks at Strider. "We should all work together, Mast Strider."
[17:55] * Elenor eventually cathes up with the group.
[17:55] De`thion: Yeah, I think any place with no living life nor spirits I can sense qualifies as "Desolate"
[17:55] Strider: "Good point Brink."
[17:55] * TaloToecan clicks in vain attempt to try and communicate over to Damsel and LordBarrius, in addition to Lkeas, attempting to indicate a desire to rein in the more...energetic...for the time being.
[17:55] * Stromy looks at Damsel and says, "You are observing quite quietly, have you any luck in discerning the pattern?"
[17:55] * Little_Brown_Box persists, either out of sheer boredom or curiosity, picking a single call and copying it, a beat behind the true creature originating the sound.
[17:55] * Brink keeps pace with Nick, whom he assumes is in the middle of the pack as usual.
[17:56] * Clyde follows Damsel's voice.
[17:56] * Lkeas calls out ahead, preferring to keep stride with LordBarrius and Damsel.  "Hey seekers!  Don't go getting lost!"
[17:56] * Taimat returns to the group. "I could not find anything that pertains to a clue as to where we are,neither a single trace of life in this forest..." Taimat forms back into his natural state,then draw his sword and approaches one of the trees.
[17:56] * Damsel shakes her head in response to Stormy, then glances at LordBarrius, Damsel, and Lkeas. "Does this remind you of Tirlerion's world?"
[17:56] * Cerbero is leaving a magical trace that only he can sense behind him.
[17:56] * Brink looks at Nick "Suppose we should stay back with Talo, Lkeas, Barrius and Damsel?"
[17:56] * Genoclysm jogs a little to catch up to Damsel, Barrius, and the others.
[17:56] * Strider walks with Nick and Brink.
[17:56] Nick: Aye...It seems smarter...
[17:57] * Stromy walks back to Damsel, Lkeas, and LB
[17:57] De`thion: aside from being somewhat... wrong
[17:57] * Selarep walks at his own pace in the middle of the others.
[17:57] * Nick falls back a little and waits for them to catch up.
[17:57] * Elenor is catching up to the group with Cerbero.
[17:57] De`thion: this place is rather peaceful
[17:57] * TaloToecan shakes his head negatively, after some thought, to Damsel.
[17:57] * Strider stops by Nick.
[17:57] Lkeas: I'm not sure, Sis... if it is.. why would we be here?
[17:57] * Brink jumps off his cushion of air which fades in a swirling manner, he walks back to Lkeas and the others.
[17:57] * Lkeas 's face darkens.  Tirlerion did show up yesterday.. we can't rule out that he might have some involvement.
[17:57] * Cerbero wonders if the distance between the trees would allow him to fly.
[17:57] * Taimat grows apprehensive as he reaches one of the trees,then shrugs off these feelings and raises his sword high,ready to slice at the tree that stands before him
[17:57] * Damsel shakes her head. "I don't know... Why do we ever get sent any of the places we do?"
[17:58] Strider: "I wish somethine would happen..."
[17:58] Nick: Because we have a purpose here...
[17:58] Rimblade: "Hurm.  I wonder if this place has any plants wot would be critical in the creation of rare ungulants?"
[17:58] LordBarrius: "I...suppose that's possible.  I'm concerned, regardless.  We need to keep people close...."
[17:58] Brink: "Because we have relevance."
[17:58] * Lkeas manages a small chuckle.  "One of the great mysteries of the Omninauts, I suppose..."
[17:58] * TaloToecan clicks his teeth together, then points back at the abode. He then shakes his head negatively again. An argument, perhaps?
[17:58] * Stromy looks at the trees and says, "It seems to be some highly technological place with the trees and the pattern, and the lack of life>"
[17:58] * GT places his hand on one of the trees.
[17:59] Little_Brown_Box: I dunno, Rimblade!
[17:59] Little_Brown_Box: Let's pick some of everything!
[17:59] * Brink picks up Talo's click. "Come again Talo...?"
[17:59] * Clyde stays close to Lkeas, but remains a few feet away. "Have you guys been here before?"
[17:59] Cerbero: These trees... they are not normal...
[17:59] Cerbero: they are all follow a pattern...
[17:59] * Stromy looks pensive, "Could it be that we are in some sort of program?"
[18:00] * Taimat slices down the tree with his swordmwaiting for whatever happens next. "I do not know what will come from this tree...I know they are not normal..."
[18:00] Elenor: This is strange in the extreme.. at least nothing's trying to kill us yet.
[18:00] * GT starts to warp out, although it's unknown why
[18:00] De`thion: dont jynx it damnit
[18:00] Rimblade: "Good idea!"
[18:00] * Damsel looks down at Talo and there's a small momentary flash of pain and regret in her eyes. "I'm... not sure I get your point... but... If I'm guessing right... the abode wasn't in tact the last time we went to Tirlerion's Caelestia. That it is now, does signify something."
[18:00] * Stromy looks at Damsel, Lkeas, LB, and Talo and says, "Have you had any experiences with being placed in 'programed' places?"
[18:00] De`thion: last time someone said that spirits tried to kill us
[18:01] * Rimblade moves over to a tree and attempts to strip some bark off of it.
[18:01] Strider: "I wish someting would try to kill us here. At least thensomething might happen."
[18:01] Elenor: Eh, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen.
[18:01] * Cy sits down and lays his Scythe on his lap
[18:01] Cerbero: I wont let anything kill you Elenor.
[18:01] * Lkeas shudders at Strider's comment. "Why would you EVER wish that?!"
[18:01] * Nick smirks "Be careful what you wish for..."
[18:01] De`thion: but seeing as I have yet to pick up anything unusual spirit-wise
[18:01] Genoclysm: You must be very suicidal, Strider.
[18:01] De`thion: that probably wont be a problem... yet
[18:01] Elenor: Keep that overprotective crap out of my face, I can fight very well, thank you. As long as magic is working.
[18:02] * Strider looks at Geno and Lkeas. "I get like this when I'm bored. I blame it as being a mercernary."
[18:02] * Lkeas swears under her breath and squeezes Talo perhaps a bit too tightly.
[18:02] Elenor: I won't let anything kill me.
[18:02] * Brink sighs.
[18:02] * Stromy looks at the rash Strider, "Just the failings of the new seekers. I was like that once."
[18:02] Cerbero: You mistake love with overprotection...
[18:02] * Cerbero smiles.
[18:02] * TaloToecan nods his head affirmatively at Damsel, then indicates the abode again with some fervor. Leaving an avatar of a god that normally protects you entirely behind is, perhaps, unwise? Though any further mimicry or miming is cut off by a squeek of pain and wheezing breath.
[18:02] Lkeas: I suppose I should count myself lucky that I still stand here, since someone DID try to kill me!
[18:02] * LordBarrius glares at Strider briefly, then refocuses his attention on the more reigned-in bunch of the group. "I'm not certain, but I do think it unwise we wander too far off into this area."
[18:03] * Little_Brown_Box hums merrily, while still calling back at the local wildlife in their own toungue, having no idea what it is saying, if indeed it is saying anything, and not really caring. Keeping a weather eye on the underbrush, it is content to remain on Rimblade for the time being.
[18:03] * Stromy looks at
[18:03] Elenor: Bah. I can fight, don't underestimate me. If the magic goes off, then feel free to act like that, but until then, I'm fine.
[18:03] * Damsel nods her head. "Aye... I think that might be the other message he wishes to convey as well... It may be better to remain rather than wandering off randomly..."
[18:03] * De`thion keeps scanning with his spirit senses
[18:03] * Stromy looks at Talo and nods, "That is a rash course of action"
[18:03] * Lkeas nods to LordBarrius. "Perhaps the Abode has picked up on something?  We didn't think to ask it.."
[18:03] Taimat: "I would advise magic users to at least try a simple spell,and if anyone has a healing spell that can regenerate lost life-energy,kindly direct it over here please..."
[18:03] * Cy grabs his scythe and runs back into the abode.
[18:03] * silversyte hasnt left the abode
[18:04] Strider: "The Abode talks?"
[18:04] * Elenor mutters something about Taimat being an idiot. "Should have stopped when I said.."
[18:04] Cy: "It does."
[18:04] Brink: "Indeed it does, Strider."
[18:04] LordBarrius: "Perhaps....but I don't believe that's what brother Talo is suggesting.  And at any rate....better to stay near the abode, should it be transported again."
[18:04] * Strider mutters something about crazy stuff under his breath.
[18:04] * Nick sighs and begins to turn around to the direction of the abode.
[18:04] Cerbero: Elenor, I dont underestimate you. I love you.
[18:04] Rimblade: "Capital!"
[18:04] Lkeas: Right then.
[18:04] Rimblade: "Like capital punishment."
[18:04] Stromy: "Back to the Abode?"
[18:04] * Lkeas glances around for signs of straggling seekers and gestures to indicate they might head back.
[18:04] * TaloToecan breathes slightly heavily for a time, giving Lkeas a glance of 'careful! I'm fragile!', before looking at LordBarrius with a nod.
[18:04] Strider: "Screw waiting lets explore."
[18:05] Elenor: Well, let's get back to the abode.
[18:05] * Elenor starts walking back towards the abode.
[18:05] * Stromy looks at Strider with an alarmed look
[18:05] * Strider sighs at the thought of going back to the abode.
[18:05] * Brink looks at Barrius. "Perhaps however... a select few could scout the area, at least the main of the whole will be safe to an entire degree."
[18:05] Stromy: "Don't go seperating yourself from the group"
[18:05] * Genoclysm stays in step with Lkeas' group, making sure he isn't seperated from them.
[18:05] * Brink turns back to the abode dispite his words.
[18:05] * Cerbero follows silently
[18:05] LordBarrius: "That's foolish.  When has splitting up EVER been wise?"
[18:05] * Taimat laughs,shaking his head. "Elenor,you are right of course...that final attack drained me almost completely." He then walks slowly back to the abode.
[18:05] * Stromy heads back to the abode
[18:05] Little_Brown_Box: They do it in the movies!
[18:06] Damsel: "Perhaps they haven't seen enough terran horror movies."
[18:06] * Lkeas looks down at Talo apologetically.  "Sorry... just... he got me worked up.."
[18:06] Nick: They also die in movies box.
[18:06] * Strider waits a moment before moving and flies to the Abode.
[18:06] Elenor: I know your feelings, but please don't let it distract you in combat. If you try to protect me in combat, it'll just hurt both of us. I can fight danmed fine, and so can you.
[18:06] * Brink cocks an eyebrow to Barrius. "You do indeed carry a point... but still... it rests uneasy with me that all this is out here... and is just... desolate..."
[18:06] Little_Brown_Box: Yeah, but then the hot chick kills the badguy with a rediculous weapon, and they all live happily ever after until the Deus ex Machina in the sequel!
[18:06] Cy: "I have seen plenty Terran Horror movies."
[18:06] De`thion: I dunno Damsel, we do have talking canines, by TV logic that makes splitting up more viable
[18:06] * LordBarrius glances at Damsel with a bit of confusion. "You may have to explain that to me, I'm afraid....but later." He nods towards the abode. "Shall we?"
[18:07] De`thion: but its still a bad idea
[18:07] Rimblade: "No, I agree, let's split up."
[18:07] Strider: Yes
[18:07] Stromy: "I'm staying with the main group"
[18:07] Rimblade: "You lot head back to the abode, and I'll try to brew tea."
[18:07] De`thion: ... Lets do the opposite of what rimblade thinks is a good idea
[18:07] Nick: I thought we were all for Unity?
[18:07] * Clyde afew feet away from Lkeas and the group and sees Geno, "Oh hey Geno, you've been awfully quiet."
[18:07] Strider: "We need to sokit up and explore!"
[18:07] Stromy: "You can go and get yourself killed if you want"
[18:07] * Damsel inclines her head and slowly begins walking back to the abode.
[18:08] Strider: "Nick why would spliting up violate unity?"
[18:08] Genoclysm: Is that any different from usual?
[18:08] * Lkeas follows after Damsel, picking her way through the trees back towards the house.
[18:08] * Clyde chuckles softly, "Well I guess not."
[18:08] * Rimblade plucks inquiringly at a tree, trying to find any sort of growth which might even begin to resemble an herb.
[18:08] * Stromy joins Lkeas and Damsel on their way back
[18:08] >Ambiance<: A soft mauve rain begins to fall
