• Korban glances to Hadin,"A cane you say? well lucky for you,Ive had

this one strapped to my back for quite sometime waiting too give it to A certain god,but I havent had time to give it to him, would you like it?"
[19:05] * Nicholas rolls his eyes. "We have a task and we don't get directions. Great."
[19:05] Wrakigink: Names Wrakigink
[19:05] Lkeas: Well.. we have directions once we get to LORE..
[19:05] AlastorRyst: Wraki-what?
[19:05] * Hadin glances over at Korban with a nod. "Well then, now that's a nice lad. Yes, please."
[19:06] Zeltan: Central Park is no doubt a difficult place to start a search.
[19:06]

• Korban pulls a long black wooden cane,with a Hawk with spread wings

as the handle,and a large eyeball in the middle,and hands it over to Hadin,"here you are I crafted it myself."
[19:06] Wrakigink: Wrakigink
[19:06] AlastorRyst: I'll call you... Guy.
[19:06] Wrakigink: How about Wraki
[19:07] Ness: So, uh, where are we, exactly?
[19:07] Zeltan: Central Park.
[19:07] AlastorRyst: No.
[19:07] AlastorRyst: I like Guy.
[19:07] SplinterClaw: In winter...
[19:07]

• Hadin picks it out of Korban's hands gingerly, and with a spry step

swings it about a few times. "Aye, aye, a good cane for whacking fools it is at that." He uses it for a few steps, even though he obviously isn't forced to. "Works well enough like :this as well. My thanks Korban."
[19:07] Ness: Central Park?
[19:07] * Dale shrugs, then takes off his jacket, placing it on Lkeas. "You appear to need this much more then I do."
[19:07] Wrakigink: Im also The guy who needs to get out of the snow!
[19:08] * Zeltan frowns "It is a place in somewhere call USA"
[19:08] AlastorRyst: Heh, the snow is nothing.
[19:08]

• Lkeas takes Dale's jacket, smiling. "Thanks." She then laughs

listening to Hadin's words. "I do hope you won't have to use the cane for that purpose TOO often.."
[19:08] * Wrakigink tries to make a small fireball.
[19:08] Zeltan: Although, we are in a different realm.
[19:08] * Korban nods,"As long as your pleased with my work thats thanks enough."
[19:08] * Elaith looks at the surroundings, hoping to catch something out of the ordinary *
[19:08] * Useless glances about for awhile, letting the sights and sounds of the city flow over him and adjust to them.
[19:08] * AlastorRyst pulls his hood over his face, not so much that it is shrouded, but enough so that he's comfortable.
[19:09] * SplinterClaw draws the thornblade just to enough to see his appearance in it
[19:09] SplinterClaw: "What have I become..."
[19:09] * Ness looks at SC "I don't know, what?"
[19:09] * Lkeas sighs softly. "At least this snow is bearable, unlike the storm wrought by that blasted clock.."
[19:09] Zeltan: Where do we start our search I wonder...
[19:09] AlastorRyst: That damn clock...
[19:09] * AlastorRyst turns to Lkeas, "Where is Link!?"
[19:10] * LordBarrius frowns and glances down at the snow. "What fun. Do we at least have an idea where to start looking?"
[19:10] SplinterClaw: In the past few months, I was a warrior, thought to be dead, and a pumkin...
[19:10] * Lkeas blinks in surprise seeing Alastor. "But you... you're.. alive?"
[19:10] AlastorRyst: Yes, I'm alive.
[19:10]

• Dale nods before whispering to himself. "I must admit, I rather liked

that snow. It gave me an excuse to be close to you..."
[19:10] AlastorRyst: Where's Link?
[19:10] * Hadin smiles over at Lkeas amusedly before looking towards Alastor. "He's gone, and I'd leave it at that lad."
[19:10] SplinterClaw: I wonder if I'm like anything that ever came before me, that's all.
[19:10] Zeltan: I believe someone took him away, Alastor.
[19:10] AlastorRyst: Gone...?
[19:11] Zeltan: I only hear some information about the clock and gods.
[19:11] Useless: "So...another large city. Is there any particular place here that we might need to check first for Galrick?'
[19:11] Zeltan: When is the last time we came here?
[19:11] * Lkeas turns to Useless. "Well, I suppose we could check his normal hangouts, but he could be anywhere.."
[19:11] Useless: "I will admit to not being terribly fond of places like these."
[19:12] Elaith: Well, why not try spaces we've been before? We could backtrack through everything.
[19:12] Wrakigink: How about
[19:12] Wrakigink: We get out of this snow.
[19:12] * SplinterClaw points at the nearest building, "How about we start at the bottom and work our way up?"
[19:13]

• Useless shrugs slightly. "The snow does not bother me so much, but we

will probably need to walk outside for a good bit to find Galrick at any rate, Wrakigink."
[19:13] * Zeltan squat down and touches the snow. "How delightful, we never have this on Elden'thas."
[19:13] Wrakigink: It bothers me alot!
[19:13] AlastorRyst: Ugh...
[19:13] * Ness bends down, forms a snowball, and chucks it at Alastor
[19:13] AlastorRyst: I have to get going, unfortunately.
[19:13] * AlastorRyst catches the snowball, which melts in his hand
[19:13] * Lkeas nods to Alastor. "Be well, seeker."
[19:13] * LordBarrius grins at Wrakigink. "Oh, it's just snow. Nothing too serious. You'll be fine."
[19:14] * AlastorRyst vanishes in a black smoke
[19:14] *** AlastorRyst has signed off IRC (Vaporized: ).
[19:14] Wrakigink: I'm a pyromancer! It is serious.
[19:14] Ness: Wrak, you will survive. I promise.
[19:14]

• Korban takes a deep breath,his lungs filling with a refreshing

taste,he then exhales,a grin on his face,"I do love Terran cities,so much classic within modern,like a pastry with a creamy center."
[19:14] Zeltan: Magic do not work as they normally do, Wraki.
[19:14] SplinterClaw: And I'm a plant, fire is worse
[19:14]

• Useless stretches out for a bit before practically dancing about in

exuberant energy. "It has been far too long since I have run about, though it was necessary to catch Hadin up on everything I suppose."
[19:15] * Lkeas exhales, watching her breath form in front of her, then starts humming the tune absentmindedly again.
[19:15] Hadin: "Aye son, it was appreciated quite a bit at that."
[19:15] * Nicholas smiles pleasently. "At least I'll get to see Lore eventually." He mutters to himself.
[19:16] Hadin: "That will be nice too, I will admit. Maybe even get to my workshop for a bit too."
[19:17] * Zeltan hears the tune and looks at Lkeas.
[19:17] * Wrakigink starts lookign for a dry patch
[19:18] * Korban sighs hearing of a work shope,"aye,I had one once,but many found it distracting,plus it was destroyed."
[19:18]

• LordBarrius kneels in the snow and gathers a bit in his hand, then

stands, letting it run between his fingers. "Been a while since I've seen snow this mild. I enjoy it."
[19:18] * Ness bends down, forms a snowball, and throws it at LordBarrius
[19:19] * Dale sighs, then relaxs a bit.
[19:19]

• Lkeas 's cheeks flush lightly as she continues humming, then leans

over towards Dale and responds, "For which I am still grateful for your help.."
[19:19] * LordBarrius gets hit with a snowball and flashes a grin at Ness. "Hey now. Fun comes second."
[19:19] * SplinterClaw scoops up some snow and throws it at Ness
[19:19] * Elaith continues to rub his chest for warmth *
[19:19] * Zeltan stands up, still looking at Lkeas with his green eyes.
[19:19] * Ness shrugs at LB "We aren't doing anything yet."
[19:19] * Wrakigink starts jumping trying to stay out of the snow
[19:20] * Dale smiles. "It's not a problem, as It told you, I..." he begins to whisper so no others may hear.
[19:21] * SplinterClaw has the temptation of throwing snow at Wraki...
[19:21] * Ness bends down, forms a small snowball, and throws it a Wraki's leg
[19:22] * SplinterClaw throws snow at Wraki!
[19:22] Wrakigink: Snow...bad!
[19:22] * Nicholas steps to the side, trying to avoid all snow throwing.
[19:22] * Wrakigink tries to make a fire wall
[19:22] SplinterClaw: "Vorpal-Snow-Pummeling-of-Death!" TM!
[19:23] * Wrakigink ducks
[19:23]

• Useless cartwheels about to exercise some of his spare energy out of

his system, half-wishing that he was the ferret who did it all the time.
[19:23] *** Maxwell has signed off IRC (Vanished: ).
[19:24] * Lkeas 's cheeks grow a bit brighter shade of red and she nods very slightly.
[19:24] * SplinterClaw heaves a masive glob of snow at the pyromancer
[19:24] * Zeltan sighs and turn his attention back to the snow.
[19:25] * Ness looks at Lkeas "Getting sweet talked, Lkeas?"
[19:25] * Ness chuckles
[19:25] * Dale grins, and leans over to kiss Lkeas' cheek. He chuckles, feeling his embarrassment of her is complete.
[19:25] Wrakigink: Oh
[19:25] Wrakigink: Crap
[19:26] >Ambiance<: A female approaches her features are Nordic very blonde hair and blue eyes approaches her attire is a white jumpsuit, white boots, and a gold colored belt
[19:26] * SplinterClaw 's attack hits with the force of a thousand snowmen
[19:26] * Wrakigink rolls off to the side. "Snow Bad!"
[19:26] * Lkeas 's eyes widen, then she shakes her head.
[19:26] * Zeltan stands up.
[19:26] * Ness looks at the woman and bows
[19:26] Ness: And you are?
[19:26] Zeltan: We have company.
[19:27] Female: "Your manner is very odd for a citizen of this city"
[19:27] SplinterClaw: oro...
[19:27] * Dale turns to the woman, raising an eyebrow curiously. "And you are?"
[19:27] * Korban thinks the female resembles that of something he has heard of,but shrugs it off as coincidence.
[19:27] * Lkeas turns to the woman in the white jumpsuit as well, watching curiously.
[19:27] * Elaith doesn't notice, his mind still elsewhere *
[19:27] Female: "You see few having snowball fights in central park at your age. No less sommersaulting and cartwheeling in the snow"
[19:27] Ness: Are YOU a citizen of the city?
[19:28] * Female smiles and looks at Useless
[19:28] * Dale chuckles a bit. "I suppose we look a bit odd. Most of us have never seen snow, or at least not in a while."
[19:28] *** Raku has joined #epic.
[19:28] Female: "Hair dye can capture ANY color these days. Its really fantastic."
[19:28] SplinterClaw: Or are completely insane...
[19:28] * Nicholas turns to the woman, waving slightly. "You could call us fun-loving people."
[19:28] * Lkeas chuckles slightly. "Indeed, he does like drawing attention.."
[19:28]

• Useless catches himself in a crouch and examines the female. "Many

thanks, ma'am. Some have told me that I have talent enough for some circuses before."
[19:28] * Zeltan moves his hand across his green hair "It's normal for me."
[19:29] * Korban looks at the woman,smiles towards her then walks closer,"hello,my name is Korban,and yours?"
[19:29] Useless: "I tend to indulge myself on occassion too, letting loose of some energy. It is a great way to warm up as well."
[19:29] Female: "I too love fun. I care greatly for joy and happiness. I care for the well being these things. Many neglect the care of their soul"
[19:29] * Wrakigink scratches his head. his hair is a fire like red and orange.
[19:29] * Lkeas starts. "Care of their soul, you say?"
[19:29] Lkeas: That sounds awfully familiar..
[19:29] * Elaith turns to the main conversation, thoughts forgotten in the casual conversation *
[19:29] Ness: Care for your soul?
[19:29] * Ness raises a brow
[19:30] Ness: Who are you?
[19:30] Dale: Hm...
[19:30] Dale: That does sound familiar...
[19:30] * Zeltan frowns "Nova." he muttered.
[19:30] * Korban looks to Dale and nods,"indeed..."
[19:30] Ness: Do you not care for your soul? We care greatly.
[19:30] Female: "Happiness and Joy are the meter of ones soul are they not. Unitity and peace its food"
[19:30] Ness: Unity...
[19:30]

• LordBarrius , hearing these comments, calmly turns to get a better

perspective of the woman, leaving his hands tucked into the folds of his robe and remaining silent otherwise.
[19:30] Nicholas: Interesting expression.
[19:30] Lkeas: Indeed, unity is quite important, as is peace.
[19:30] SplinterClaw: I always thought expierce was a better meter
[19:30] Female: "You care greatly for my soul? I am touched. I care likewise for yours. I care for the souls of all people. "
[19:31]

• Hadin hobbles over towards Lkeas and whispers softly. "This seems

familiar enough as well, though it takes me more effort to place it than Useless might."
[19:31] * Wrakigink wishes he had something other than a fire like red orange robe on.
[19:31] Female: "Looking after the flock is a full time job."
[19:31] SplinterClaw: ((*expierence))
[19:31] Ness: The flock?
[19:31] Zeltan: And who might you be?
[19:31] Female: "I am glad to see that you live lives fully"
[19:31] * Lkeas nods warily to Hadin, then returns her gaze to the woman. "Who do you look after?"
[19:31] SplinterClaw: I think she means us...
[19:32] Ness: Are you a religious leader?
[19:32]

• Useless moves back over towards his father, still regarding the woman

more with interest than concern for the time being.
[19:33] Female: "Religious no. Though I might see how you would draw that conclusion. Matters of faith are but one side to the triangle. You must care also for body and mind. When all three sides of the triange are strong they you are strong."
[19:33] Ness: 755....
[19:33] Nicholas: It's been a pleasure to meet you....
[19:33] SplinterClaw: I kinda like that philosophy
[19:33] * Zeltan nods "It is everywhere."
[19:33] Dale: A trinity... Heh..
[19:33] Elaith: The triangle of well-being. It was mentioned once in health class.
[19:33] Ness: This woman is talking in the semantics we're used to...
[19:34] * Hadin glances over at Ness. "Yes...quite."
[19:34] Female: "It is a philosophy worth considering. I sense that you do care something for all three for you take the time to live and enjoy the park rather then hurrying about from one task to the next"
[19:34] Female: "This city is always a bustle of activity with people so busy with life they miss living it"
[19:34] * Wrakigink walks over to Lkeas and whispers "I dont like her should i get ready to torch her in case?"
[19:34] * Lkeas shakes her head at Wrakigink.
[19:34] Ness: Indeed, but I am afraid that we are in something of a hurry, actually....
[19:35] SplinterClaw: It sad, but they do balance it out once in a while
[19:35] SplinterClaw: *It is
[19:35] Female: "I should think you would be sad to live your life only to turn back and wonder where your years have faded to"
[19:35] Useless: "Time spent thinking of what to do...well, why not spend it in care of the body or enjoyment at the same time?"
[19:35] Ness: We were only taking a very brief reprieve
[19:35] Elaith: By the way, my name is Elaith. It is a pleasure to meet you... *trails off searching for the name*
[19:35] Female: "Too many spend their lives moving from moment to moment and not experiencing anything"
[19:35] * Zeltan looks at Lkeas "Ae you feeling better? A mental assult by Epheel is disturbing."
[19:36] * SplinterClaw shrugs: That's life
[19:36] * Lkeas shrugs. "I don't know that it was Epheel directly."
[19:36] Female: "Finding a balance in all three aspects of well being will provide you with balance of being alltogehter"
[19:36]

• LordBarrius nods slightly. "It is always good to allot some time for

yourself and relax....no matter how busy you may be."
[19:36] * Dale giggles a bit. "Epheel himself is disturbing."
[19:36] * Korban sighs,"too true miss,indeed too true..."
[19:36] Female: "A balanced being is a healthy soul"
[19:36] * Lkeas smirks at the woman. "I don't suppose this is something of a sales pitch?"
[19:37] * Ness sighs
[19:37] SplinterClaw: Let her talk, I kinda like what she's saying
[19:37] Ness: She's about to ask us to join this great organization named NOVA, isn't she?
[19:37] * Korban frowns,"I believe this small talk,though enlightening,is not of importance right now."
[19:37]

• Hadin whispers softly to Lkeas again. "Even if it is, it is also a

distraction...and we do not have that much time to waste, do we?"
[19:37] Female: "Sales pitch? How very rude of you... I was walking in the park and one of you started talking to me. I struck up a conversation which I was enjoying and now I am being accused of some sort of Solicitation"
[19:37] Ness: Indeed. We need to get moving
[19:38] Zeltan: And mind if I ask you a question, Lady?
[19:38] * Lkeas shakes her head, a bit taken aback. "I didn't mean any insult.. it's just, we've been accosted such, before."
[19:38] SplinterClaw: brb
[19:38] Lkeas: I apologize.
[19:38] Female: "I can see you are just another New Yorker after all... go then and forget life. may your soul forgive you for it."
[19:38] Wrakigink: No No. We didnt mean to offend
[19:38] Female: "You shall need its forgiveness I assure you"
[19:38] * Ness looks at the woman "Wait one moment, please."
[19:38] Female: "and you won't so easily have mine"
[19:39] SplinterClaw: Why did you do that?
[19:39] * Female turns and begins to walk down the pathway purposefully he expression stiff
[19:39] * Nicholas bows to the woman. "Take care."
[19:39] * Ness jogs to catch up with her
[19:39] Ness: Wait...
[19:39] * Lkeas shakes her head in exasperation. "Some people are so touchy.."
[19:39] * Zeltan frowns "She never give me a chance."
[19:39]

• Elaith chases after the female * "I'm sorry... we didn't mean to

offend. Please stay a while longer? Your company is refreshing."
[19:39] Lkeas: Well, shall we try to follow her?
[19:40] Wrakigink: If it will get us out of this snow yes.
[19:40] SplinterClaw: I'm for it
[19:40] Dale: I believe we have more important things to attend to..
[19:40] Hadin: "We do have a task, lass."
[19:40] * Zeltan shrugs "she seems to be ditracting us."
[19:40]

• LordBarrius frowns slightly as the woman leaves. "Hm. I don't know,

Lkeas. That might not be wise. Suppose she thinks we're stalking her...."
[19:40] Nicholas: I would find following her rude.
[19:40] Wrakigink: She wont see us.
[19:40] Wrakigink: If we hide
[19:40]

• Lkeas shrugs helplessly. "How are we to complete our task? If she's

from NOVA, she might know something about Galrick.."
[19:40] Nicholas: If she desired our company, she would of stayed.
[19:40] * Korban sighs,"suppose she was an allie."
[19:40] Zeltan: And if she is really who I believe she is, no.
[19:40] Wrakigink: But who cares Lets go!
[19:40] Dale: That is called stalking, Wrakigink.
[19:40] Hadin: "You just defined what a stalker does, Wrakigink."
[19:40] * SplinterClaw thinks..."the longer the wait, the less chance we'll have to catch up"
[19:40] * Wrakigink chases after the woman
[19:41] Zeltan: Do you think they will reveal such information Lkeas?
[19:41] Lkeas: Then again, if Galrick broke free, we might not want to notify the organization that we are searching for him..
[19:41] * SplinterClaw calls after her, "Hey, wait up!"
[19:41] LordBarrius: Precisely my thoughts on the matter.
[19:41] * Female stops
[19:41] Hadin: "Would we even want NOVA knowing what we are up to, especially considering who is affiliated with NOVA?"
[19:41] Zeltan: they have no need to know such information...
[19:41] * Female turns
[19:41] * Lkeas nods. "Alright, what shall we do?"
[19:41] * Elaith bows his head * "As I said, we are deeply sorry."
[19:42] * Ness holds out his hand "My name is Ness."
[19:42] Female: "What makes you think we do not already know it"
[19:42] Wrakigink: We?
[19:42] * Lkeas shudders.
[19:42] * Dale chuckles. "So you are of NOVA, then..."
[19:42] Ness: Do not jump to conclusions, Dale
[19:42] * Zeltan grins "I knew it."
[19:42] Ness: Since you know my name, may I inquire as to yours?
[19:43] Korban: She just ourt right admited it Ness.
[19:43] Korban: ((out*))
[19:43] Dale: It wasn't an assumption, it was a statement, Ness.
[19:43] SplinterClaw: I'm curious about this triange thing
[19:43]

• LordBarrius frowns slightly, still observing the woman but speaking

to the group in a very low tone. "It appears the phrase 'loose lips sink ships' applies far too well to this group."
[19:43] Ness: Remember what Falerin says about assuming.
[19:43] * Hadin leans on his cane, content to watch much like Useless is doing.
[19:44] Female: You can call me Lisa
[19:44] Female: People usually do
[19:44] * Ness nods
[19:44] * Wrakigink looks at Lkeas with the expression: Can-I-Torch-Her-Now?
[19:44] Korban: Hello Lisa,my name's Korban.
[19:44] Elaith: It's a pleasure to meet you Lisa.
[19:44] SplinterClaw: Hey Lisa
[19:44] Zeltan: Nice to meet you again, Lisa Cartwright.
[19:44] Elaith: You may call me Elaith.
[19:44] * Lkeas glares at Wrakigink and shakes her head vehemently.
[19:45] Wrakigink: I'm Wrakigink
[19:45] * Hadin sighs softly to himself over several matters running through his brain.
[19:45] Nicholas: My name is Nicholas, but call me whatever you want.
[19:45] Lisa: "Cartwright?"
[19:46] Lisa: "That name is not mine"
[19:46] * Zeltan frowns "No?"
[19:46] SplinterClaw: Then what should we call you?
[19:46] * Korban sighs,"So many jumping to conclusions."
[19:46] Hadin: "It is nice to have made your acquintance, Lisa."
[19:47] Ness: So, Lisa, who are you with?
[19:47] Ness: Who is "we"?
[19:47] Lisa: Lisa. Just Lisa will do. Formal names are so stifling
[19:47]

• LordBarrius flashes a quick glare at Zeltan, knowing his words

apparently fell on deaf ears, then glances back at Lisa, forming a slight smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lisa."
[19:47] * Dale glares at Ness. "Jeez, must you interrogate everyone we meet?"
[19:47] Zeltan: Very well, Lisa then.
[19:47] SplinterClaw: I guess they are
[19:47] Lisa: We never use them onboa...er abroad.
[19:47] Lisa: and it is much better that way
[19:48] * Lkeas scratches her head. "So you travel a lot?"
[19:48] * Ness looks at Dale "She used "we" we can never be too careful."
[19:48] * Zeltan grins and whispers to LordBarrius "You think I'm ignorant?"
[19:48] * Useless narrows his eyes ever-so-slightly at the slip of the tongue.
[19:49] * Lisa turns away and continues walking
[19:49] * Ness sighs
[19:49] Nicholas: Goodbye again.
[19:49] Ness: We don't have time for this. We have to go.
[19:49] * LordBarrius doesn't bother to answer Zeltan, simply watching as Lisa leaves in silence.
[19:50] * Hadin tilts his head over in Lkeas' direction. "Well then, shall we begin the search?"
<a href="http://psyham.googlepages.com/sessionxxvii-lkeas">[19:50] * Lkeas tightens her lips and closes her eyes, seemingly focusing on something.</a>
[19:50]

• Korban watches Lisa walk away,glances quickly down word at her as she

walks away then turns his head to make sure no others had seen him do so.
[19:50] Dale: Hm? Something up, Lkeas?
[19:50] Lkeas: Again...
[19:50] Wrakigink: Should we follow her?
[19:50] Lkeas: Thank you...
[19:50] * Zeltan frowns at being ignored and turns his attention towards Lisa. "I believe she has a little problem 'aboard'"
[19:50] Elaith: Someone uses a beamship?
[19:50] * Lkeas opens her eyes. "He is again in the first place we ever saw him."
[19:51] Lkeas: Let's not bother Lisa anymore lest we alienate yet another ally..
[19:51] Korban: Hm... well it seems standing here has lost its thrill.
[19:51] Zeltan: The cafe?
[19:51] * Hadin smiles and nods. "Well, now if that isn't just a convenient sense of deja vu."
[19:51] * LordBarrius nods at Lkeas. "Then that is where we need go. Any idea which direction?"
[19:52] * Dale shivers. "Now I'm rather eager to get moving... The cold is starting to have it's effect on me.."
[19:52] * SplinterClaw starts to wander off in the same direction as Lisa went
[19:52] * Ness looks at Dale and shudders
[19:52] Zeltan: How many times have we been going there?
[19:52] * Lkeas narrows her eyes slightly. "Useless in New York? Why does that not settle well with me.."
[19:52] Ness: Couldn't you use a different term?
[19:52] * Nicholas looks around. "Now then, we should find Galrick."
[19:52] * Korban spots Splinerclaw,"I think it best we stay in a group friend."
[19:53] * Dale looks at ness curiously. "What would you have me call it, then?"
[19:53] * Useless turns towards Lkeas and blinks. "Excuse me, Archivist?"
[19:53] * Ness shrugs
[19:53] * SplinterClaw stops, and sighs
[19:53] * Zeltan chuckles "I hope you wouldn't do more acrobatics again, Useless. It attracts too much unwanted attention."
[19:54] * Lkeas shrugs. "Well, I'm not about to disregard information from any source. Let's get going, everyone. Cafe Figaro."
[19:54] * Useless blinks again. "The snowball fight drew just as much comment, however."
[19:54] * Korban begisn to walk waiting for Lkeas to lead.
[19:54] Zeltan: Let's hope that will not repeat itself.
[19:54] * Wrakigink tries to form a tiny fire ball in his hand
[19:54] * Ness follows
[19:54] Zeltan: For now, let's go to Figaro.
[19:54] * SplinterClaw suddenly moves off the path, blending in with the trees
[19:54] * Wrakigink follows.
[19:54]

• Useless decides to walk between Lkeas and Hadin in the rough

conglomeration of the group. Whispering softly, he adds, "Is there something wrong with me being here, Lkeas?"
[19:55] * LordBarrius nods again and lets the others proceed before following along silently himself.
[19:55] SplinterClaw: "I'll catch up latter, I just want to find out more!"
[19:55] * Korban walks along side Hadin,eyes front and focused.
[19:55]

• Zeltan walks on, remembering the route he had taken some time ago.

His shoes making a soft crunching sound on the snow.
[19:55] * Lkeas looks at Useless. "Oh, sorry... It was not a reference to your name in that case, fortunately.."
[19:55] *** Donto_M has joined #epic.
[19:55] * Nicholas walks along side LordBarrius.
[19:55] * Lkeas follows after the group towards the cafe.
[19:55] * SplinterClaw continues on alone
[19:55] * Useless smiles softly. "It sure sounding like such, Lkeas, but if you insist."
[19:56]

• Lkeas chuckles. "I suppose I shouldn't speak in broken fragments,

lest they be taken out of context. She told me her vessel would be useless in New York.."
[19:57] * Wrakigink mumbles "my pyromancy doesnt even seem to work here."
[19:57] Nicholas: Who told you?
[19:57] * SplinterClaw eventually is out of sight
[19:57] * Lkeas shrugs at Nicholas. "Lisa, I guess? It sounded like her.."
[19:57] * Wrakigink tries again to form a small fireball in his palm
[19:58] * Zeltan frowns "Hearing voices doesn't bode well for us, Lkeas."
[19:59]

• Lkeas continues walking with the others towards Greenwich Village. "I

can't very well help it.. and she did tell us where to find Galrick."
[19:59] * Useless turns to Zeltan. "She is far from fractured of mind, Zeltan. I would not be concerned."
[20:00] * Dale walks beside Lkeas in silence.
[20:00] Zeltan: You never know who are the owner of the voices, Uselss.
[20:00] * Korban walks,eyes forward,but his mind elsewhere,wondering what may happen this night.
[20:01] * Zeltan stops
[20:01] Zeltan: W-what?>
[20:01] * Lkeas turns again to Zeltan. "What is it?"
[20:01] * Zeltan shakes his head and continue walking
[20:01] Zeltan: Nothing, just a weird sensation
[20:01] * Wrakigink focuses trying to form a fireball
[20:01] * LordBarrius frowns slightly at Zeltan. "What was it? Speak."
[20:01] * Lkeas furrows her brow as she watches Zeltan for a few paces, then takes a few hops to catch up.
[20:01] * Useless regards Zeltan again. "Do explain, please."
[20:02] Nicholas: Yes, please do explain.
[20:02] SplinterClaw: ((faraway... "hello? Lisa?"))
[20:02] Zeltan: I feel a voice in my head, a feminine voice.
[20:02] Ness: Hm.
[20:02] Ness: Odd.
[20:02] Hadin: "What is she saying, lad. Quick now."
[20:03] * Dale nods. "We need to know.. Zeltan."
[20:03] Zeltan: "No you do not. You are of course right."
[20:03] Zeltan: which I believe is the response to my reply towards Useless.
[20:04] * SplinterClaw couldn't find what he was looking for, he turns and realizes he has no idea where he is: "Crud..."
[20:04] * Korban looks to Zeltan,"we dont have time for games if you have any information it is of value."
[20:04] Zeltan: I do not play games, Korban
[20:04] Nicholas: It seems a voice in the head is their prefered method communication.
[20:05] Zeltan: I have just repeated what the voice tell me.
[20:05] Korban: Oh my apologizes my mind was elsewhere.
[20:05] * Useless nods to Zeltan with a grin. "Your candor is appreciated, Zeltan."
[20:05] * LordBarrius nods slowly. "And we are glad you have."
[20:05] Korban: Now let us continue shall we?
[20:06] * Lkeas nods thoughtfully with Nicholas as she continues scanning the street signs for Mcdougal and Bleeker.
[20:06] * Nicholas shrugs. "I wish they would talk face to face. A voice in your mind is rather rude."
[20:06] * SplinterClaw turns and continues on the direction he had been going, "Well, a risk never taken..."
[20:07] * Zeltan continues walking, puzzled how one is able to project thoughts into his target when they are so far apart.
[20:07] *** Raku is now known as Raku_boredandbusy.
[20:07]

• Korban sees Lkeas having difficulty catching up behind the

group,"hm...Lkeas I know you may object,but would you like me to carry you? you can sit on my shoulders."
[20:08] Korban: It's no trouble for me,and I think it will be easier for you to observe the area.
[20:08]

• Lkeas waves dismissively at Korban and quickens her pace easily. "No

trouble, just taking time to make sure we don't miss the street."
[20:08] Zeltan: Now let's see where is the cafe?
[20:08] Dale: "Bah.. Were such a thing required, I would've offered myself.." he whispers quietly to himself.
[20:08] * Elaith stretches his neck as he walks *
[20:08] * Useless scans with the air of animalistic singularity looking for the Cafe.
[20:08] * Wrakigink runs still trying to form the fireball
[20:08] Zeltan: Last I remembered, we had great difficulty finding it.
[20:09] * Korban shrugs,"alright then. Now, I think were close."
[20:11] * Korban continues walking,pretending he knows his surroundings.
[20:11] * Ness continues following the group, looking for the cafe
[20:11] * SplinterClaw continues walking, knowing he doesn't know where the heck he's going...
[20:12] SplinterClaw: O come on, how far could she have gotten?
[20:15] SplinterClaw: I hate my curiosity...
[20:16] * Zeltan walks in front of the group before stopping.
[20:18] * Elaith checks the street signs to see where they are as opposed to where they should be *
[20:18] * Zeltan frowns and started to fade away.
[20:18] Zeltan: "Something is wro-"
[20:18] *** Raku_boredandbusy is now known as Raku.
[20:18] *** Zeltan has left #epic.
[20:19] * Nicholas 's eyes widen. "I hope he'll be fine."
[20:20]

• Lkeas glances over at where Zeltan had been walking, then shrugs

nonchalantly. "Ah well... such is the nature of the Ominauts.."
[20:20] * Hadin chuckles softly. "Aye, that it is lass."
[20:20] * Dale whispers to Lkeas as they walk.
[20:21]

• Korban continues walking and says without care of what strangers may

think,"gah! this would be so much simpler if I could sprout my wings."
[20:22]

• SplinterClaw lights an old cigarette from another adventure; "Carbon,

nitrogen, a bit of phosphorus... bad for animals, good for me. Whatever 'me' is..."
[20:22] Korban: Flying in this city would be...incredible.
[20:23] * Wrakigink tries to form a fireball
[20:24] *** limewirelord has left #epic.
[20:25] *** Bob has joined #epic.
[20:27] * SplinterClaw yawns as he goes deeper into the park
[20:28]

• Elaith continues walking, being sure to check every street sign as

well as looking for cops and the like, remembering the group's affinity for trouble *
[20:29] * Nicholas continues to walk.
[20:30] *** Bob has signed off IRC (Vanished: Bob).
[20:30] * Dale continues whispering to Lkeas.
[20:30] >Ambiance<: Wind. A cold harsh wind drives the citizens of New York to ground with greater intensity then normal. Walking is difficult and staying outside in the wind quickly becomes painful. The weather marks the latest in a series of odd wether phenomena that have nailed manhattan in recent memory.
[20:31] * Ness shivers
[20:31] Ness: Okay, this is ridiculous, what is WITH wind lately?
[20:31] * Korban stumbles,after feeling the effects of the wind.
[20:31] * Hadin glances at Lkeas. "You don't think...here too?"
[20:32] Korban: It seems even the elements are against us these days.
[20:32] * Wrakigink tries to make a fire in his hand for warmth
[20:32]

• Lkeas stuffs her hands into the pockets of her borrowed jacket and

tries to keep moving at a steady pace. "I should hope not, Artificer.."
[20:32] * Dale sighs. "We can never get away from trouble.."
[20:32] * SplinterClaw 's cigarette goes out but he seems not to care, the wind painful against his back
[20:32] Nicholas: Shouldn't we get inside, or something?
[20:32] * Hadin shrugs and uses the cane to help propel himself along.
[20:32] Lkeas: I'd prefer to get inside Cafe Figaro.. anybody spotted it yet?
[20:33] Korban: Is that it?
[20:33] >Ambiance<: Cafe Figaro stands as it always has at the Corner of Macdougal
[20:33]

• LordBarrius keeps his hands in the folds of his cloak and continues

to follow at the best pace he can, though still slightly behind the others.
[20:33] * Elaith shivers and continues to rub his chest for warmth *
[20:34] * Galrick sighs relieved
[20:34] * Wrakigink runs at it but ends up falling on the snow on his face.
[20:34] * Galrick continues tapping on his keyboard
[20:34] * Lkeas squints her eyes. "Alright, I think we've arrived.. get inside, everybody!"
[20:34] * Ness walks in
[20:34] * Dale hurries inside the Cafe.
[20:34] * Lkeas tucks her head against the wind and makes for the door.
[20:34] * Useless holds the door open for everyone with a cheery grin.
[20:34] * Korban walks inside,lips shaking.
[20:34] * Wrakigink gets up and points at galrick "Whos that weird looking guy?!"
[20:34] Galrick: "Thank heavens for Warlic then...."
[20:34] Korban: thank you Useless.
[20:34] * Elaith dashes in *
[20:35] Elaith: Galrick?
[20:35] * Nicholas follows in suit.
[20:35] * Lkeas shivers as her body adjusts to the temperature inside the cafe. "Galrick, thank Lorithia, you're here.."
[20:35] * Galrick closes his sips his Latte
[20:35] Wrakigink: Warlic.
[20:35] Wrakigink: How does he know Warlic.
[20:35] Dale: He is from LORE, Wrakigink.
[20:35] * Hadin looks over Galrick carefully. "You are looking well enough, it would seem."
[20:35] Wrakigink: Never seen him there.
[20:35] * LordBarrius steps into the cafe and smiles warmly upon seeing Galrick, giving him a slight nod.
[20:35] * Korban sees Galrick and smiles,"ah hello."
[20:36] * Dale whispers to Lkeas once more, and turns to regard Galrick. "It is good to see you again."
[20:36] * Ness bows to Galrick
[20:36] * Korban takes a seat at Gakrick's table,"I hop you don't mind if I do."
[20:37] Korban: ((hope*))
[20:37] * Useless slips inside last and approaches Galrick. "Good day, Galrick...I hope you are ready then?"
[20:37] * Elaith 's grin begins to dance across his face on sight of the seeker. "Haven't headed to LORE yet?"
[20:37] *** Raku has left #epic.
[20:38] Galrick: "Ready is relative Talo"
[20:38] * Galrick smiles his fangs showing slightly
[20:38] * Galrick stands
[20:39] Wrakigink: Weird.
[20:39] * Lkeas looks to Useless. "Do you have the stone from Falerin? We have to make our way back to Central Park.."
[20:39] * Korban stands remembering the task was not to sit around and drink coffee.
[20:39] Useless: "True enough, though I think you know in what manner I had meant it. When you have finished your drink, I figure we shall head to where we need to be?"
[20:39] * Useless nods quickly to Lkeas with a smile.
[20:40] * Dale nods to Lkeas. "That we do.. Though in this wind, it will not be as pleasant as the trip up here.."
[20:40] Wrakigink: Anyone got some money i need something hot to drink
[20:43] * Korban stands out of the group, grabs a book off the rack,and begins to read.
[20:45] Galrick: "Well enough"
[20:45] * Elaith just stands there *
[20:45] Galrick: "I wonder what this outfit will be like on Lore"
[20:45] * Korban puts down the book and looks at Galrick,"ready?"
[20:45] Galrick: "I ordered this shirt from Florida"
[20:45] * Galrick chuckles pointing to his tee shirt
[20:45] Galrick: "Shall we go then?"
[20:45] * Dale looks at Galrick curiously. "Our attire will change in LORE?"
[20:46] * Lkeas raises an eyebrow, curiously reading the logo on Galrick's shirt.
[20:46] Wrakigink: Mine wont.
[20:46] Galrick: "
[20:46] Wrakigink: My attire is Lorian.
[20:46] Galrick: "No it won't"
[20:46] Useless: "I am quite ready, so I assume that that shall be a yes."
[20:46] Galrick: "I mean... what reaction will it cause"
[20:46] Galrick: "How will it be recieved"
[20:46] Wrakigink: like, Who are you!?
[20:46] * LordBarrius grins slightly at Galrick. "We won't know until we get there."
[20:46] Wrakigink: Would be how.
[20:46] * Dale reddens slightly in embarrasment. "Oh, my mistake.
[20:46] Dale: "
[20:47] * Lkeas shrugs with a small smile. "I think they'll like it."
[20:47] Wrakigink: Lets Go.
[20:47] Elaith: Hopefully having Falerin's symbol on my clothes won't cause trouble?
[20:47] Lkeas: Shall we get going then? Not that I relish the thought of going back outdoors..
[20:47] Galrick: "A tensided stone rarely does attract attetion even with a spider clutching it"
[20:47] * Galrick sets off into manhattan
[20:47] Wrakigink: I'm looking forward to sparking a flame.
[20:47] Galrick: "Where are we headed to"
[20:48] * Ness follows
[20:48]

• Hadin glances between Galrick and Lkeas for a moment. "It won't be

that bad, at least not so much as it would otherwise. Central Park, I believe, Galrick."
[20:48] Elaith: The park.
[20:48] * Korban nods agreeing with Hadin.
[20:48] * Lkeas braces herself and works her way outside following after Galrick.
[20:48] * Dale follows quickly behind Lkeas.
[20:49]

• Hadin hobbles next to Galrick, in part anxious to get back home.

Useless seems to share that anxiety, given the exuberance to his walk, though the bioandroid seems to prefer helping Lkeas along by acting as a windbreak.
[20:49] * Wrakigink follows behind Galrick, cause hes big.
[20:49] * Nicholas complies with the group.
[20:50] * LordBarrius follows silently along, keeping an eye out from slightly behind the others.
[20:50] * Lkeas grins gratefully to Useless. "Not bothered by the wind as much, eh Talo-Toecan?"
[20:50] *** Raku has joined #epic.
[20:50] * Nicholas slows down to walk beside LordBarrius.
[20:50] Useless: "Not really...its effect is only 'skin deep' as it were. Still, by staying in motion, not even the cold itself tends to slow me down much."
[20:51] * Elaith follows along *
[20:52] * LordBarrius smiles slightly at Nicholas as he notices him pull alongside. "Keeping an eye on me, are you?"
[20:53] * Galrick seems to be going in the wrong direction and eventually crosses standing near NYU
[20:53] Galrick: "Where in the park?"
[20:53] * Nicholas nods slightly at LordBarrius.
[20:54] Useless: "Er...Galrick. Central Park. West Central Park is where we arrived, to be more precise."
[20:54] Galrick: "
[20:54] Galrick: "Ah... I heard Elaith say the park and I assumed Washington Square as this is Greenwich"
[20:54] Galrick: "Ok then...."
[20:55] * Galrick turns north up broadway
[20:55] Wrakigink: Galrick
[20:55] Elaith: Ah, my apologies. I heard you yell at my cousin for specifity. I should've learned the lesson too.
[20:55] Wrakigink: Do you know why my Pyromancy hasnt worked?
[20:55]

• Hadin chuckles softly and says with evident jest to it, "Well then,

lad, next time listen to the more elderly of the lot. I had said Central Park, after all, from the beginning."
[20:56] * Lkeas grins but says nothing and follows after Hadin and Galrick
[20:57] * Wrakigink continues staying behind Galrick
[20:57] * LordBarrius follows behind the others, still glancing around occasionally to gather a perspective of the surroundings.
[20:58] * Ness continues followeing
[20:58] * SplinterClaw continues following where he thinks Lisa was heading
[20:59]

• Hadin eventually gets ahead of Galrick by a few paces, remembering

the path far more easily than his former, 40 year older, self.
[21:00] * Dale smiles, seeing Lkeas grinning for the first time in weeks. "So beautiful..."
[21:01] Wrakigink: Galrick do you know?
[21:01] Galrick: "Know"
[21:01] SplinterClaw: (into the night) "It all the looks the same!!"
[21:01] Galrick: "I no know"
[21:01] Wrakigink: why my pyromancy wont work
[21:01] Galrick: "How would I."
[21:02] Galrick: "I have not been anywhere near you Kraken"
[21:02]

• Hadin turns towards Wrakigink as he walks. "Lad, does it even really

matter? You shouldn't be flinging about fireballs here anyway, inviting paradox like that."
[21:02] Wrakigink: Kraken?
[21:02] * Galrick frowns
[21:02] Galrick: "Sorry Wes"
[21:02] Galrick: "Just came out"
[21:02] Wrakigink: Wes?
[21:03] Galrick: "Something wrong Link?"
[21:03] * Lkeas 's eyes flit towards Hadin's cane with a small sigh. "Perhaps.."
[21:03] * Wrakigink sighs "my name is Wrakigink, not Wes or kraken or Link."
[21:03] Galrick: "This is going to take a while in this weather"
[21:03] * Nicholas shrugs. "Identity confusion?"
[21:03] * Galrick looks at Nicholas
[21:04] * Hadin turns towards Lkeas with a wink. "Wanting me to use this, eh?"
[21:04] Galrick: "Not really Leo"
[21:04] * Galrick turns to Hadin
[21:04] Nicholas: Ok then.
[21:04] Ness: Are you feeling alright, Galrick?
[21:04] * Lkeas grins and winks back.
[21:04] Galrick: "What did Falerin give us to get out of here"
[21:04] Elaith: A ten-sided gem.
[21:04] * LordBarrius winces ever so slightly at the mention of Leo's name, but the look fades right away.
[21:04] Galrick: "And is it somehow restricted to the park?"
[21:05] * Useless grins. "His symbol, but it was he who told us precisely where to use it Galrick."
[21:05] Elaith: It's where he asked us to take you, so I suppose so.
[21:05] * Lkeas scratches her head. "He said Central Park.. but who knows?"
[21:05] Galrick: "Let me see it"
[21:05] Elaith: I do not have it, but there is no reason to do it elsewhere when there is no problem with the park.
[21:05] * Useless loses his grin slightly. "There is no particular reason to until we get there, Galrick."
[21:06] Galrick: "Let me see it please"
[21:06] * Ness frowns
[21:06] *** SplinterClaw has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).
[21:06] Ness: Why are you so eager to see it?
[21:06] Galrick: "Are you my guides or my prison keepers now"
[21:06] * Korban walks content to get to LORE with the others.
[21:06] * Lkeas sighs at Ness. "You don't trust the Truth Seeker himself now?"
[21:06]

• Useless flashes the gem quickly into sight, long enough for Galrick

to see and notice it, before secreting it away again.
[21:07] Elaith: It seems out of character for you to say that I suppose.
[21:07] Galrick: "Suddently you mistrust me.... and are going to go all... you know what its up to you..."
[21:07] * Ness looks at Lkeas "We cannot afford to be lax."
[21:07] Galrick: "I am not playing games with you.... For all I know you are the imposters again.. and I should have thought of that to begin with"
[21:07] * Galrick taps several keys on his laptop
[21:08] Ness: For all WE know, YOU are an imposter....
[21:08] *** SplinterClaw has joined #epic.
[21:08] * Korban mumbles "You all should really put more faith in him..."
[21:08] Galrick: "Login to Caelnet Glenn Galricj"
[21:08] Galrick: "Transit me back to the apartment in 20 seconds please"
[21:08]

• Useless brings the gem out again and into sight. "It is here,

Galrick, and I shall keep it until we have arrived, for the Ronin gave it to me after Falerin gave it to him."
[21:08] Voice: Transit wave for 1 in 20 seconds
[21:09] Galrick: "Thats not good enough Talo"
[21:09] Galrick: "I have suffered greatly for you"
[21:09] * Nicholas sighs.
[21:09] * Galrick points at Lkeas very definitively.... especially her
[21:09] * Useless frowns. "How is showing it to you not enough, for that is what you asked.
[21:09] Voice: Transit wave for 1 in 10 seconds
[21:09] * Lkeas looks at Galrick's laptop, then up at Galrick apologetically. "I'm sorry, Truth Seeker..."
[21:09] Voice: 9
[21:09] Voice: 8
[21:09] * Useless brings it closer to Galrick.
[21:09] Dale: We all are..
[21:09] Voice: 7
[21:09] Voice: 6
[21:09] Galrick: Pause Wave
[21:09] Korban: Please Galrick reconsider!
[21:10] * Ness sighs
[21:10] Voice: Wave held at 6
[21:10] Galrick: "Trust me or not Talo-Toecan"
[21:10] Galrick: "Thats your choice"
[21:10] Elaith: We encountered Lisa earlier by the way.
[21:10] * LordBarrius lets out a small sigh of relief. "We apologize, friend...."
[21:10] Galrick: "I am too tired to...."
[21:10] * Galrick shudders
[21:10] Galrick: "All the more reason for me to suspect you are under some dark influence:
[21:10] * Galrick holds his hand open and waits
[21:11] * Useless holds out the hand with the gem, and with a nod to Galrick, drops it into his hand.
[21:11] Elaith: She didn't seem happy with us. Something about us being too into our tasks and not taking time to play around.
[21:11] Galrick: "I have had a feeling of Growing forboding all evening"
[21:11] Galrick: "I had a dream, earlier....."
[21:11] Korban: No! we were sent by Falerin,for some reason she happened to be at our arrival point.
[21:11] Galrick: "The'Galin plotted to have the Lorians assassinate one of the Avatar"
[21:11] Galrick: "She was killed and his Agent stood over her laughing"
[21:12] * Lkeas 's eyes widen. "I had the same vision.."
[21:12] Galrick: "Then something changed and due to intervention she lived"
[21:12]

• Ness walks over to Galrick and sighs "I'm sorry, Truth

Seeker....times have been growing steadily dark...it's been getting to mr."
[21:12] Galrick: "But the fact is that these visions means time is of the essence"
[21:12] Ness: me*
[21:12] Elaith: Warlic?
[21:12] * Korban nods
[21:12] Nicholas: Interesting...
[21:12] Galrick: "So yeah we can play by the book of Falerin's instructions... or we can prove ourselves persons who take initiative"
[21:12] Useless: "What do you mean, Galrick."
[21:12] Galrick: "Given Falerin's constant warnings lately about complacently being lead"
[21:13] Korban: ...I'll take the second.
[21:13]

• LordBarrius raises an eyebrow slightly. "Quite so. We do not want to

delay your movements. We were simply a bit concerned for your wellbeing...."
[21:13] Galrick: Where did you see Lisa...
[21:13] Elaith: Central Park.
[21:13] Galrick: "So you are delivering me to her in other words"
[21:13] Elaith: She walked away after our encounter since we offended her.
[21:13] * Useless raises an eyebrow. "I think I see...yes, we should use it earlier if that is indeed the case."
[21:13] Galrick: "She could not approach me when I was at Cafe Figaro due to the protections I have there"
[21:13] Ness: Galrick, stop for a moment and make sure that you are of clear mind before making decisions or accusations. As you said, you have been through much.
[21:13] Korban: No,no,she left the park before we did.
[21:14] Galrick: "In central part however"
[21:14] Galrick: "People die every day in Central Park"
[21:14] Galrick: "it is a fact of life in this city"
[21:14] Elaith: She mentioned something about onboard but cut herself off and changed it to abroad as well.
[21:14] * Hadin regards Korban carefully. "There is many ways to hide in such a place...Galrick is right."
[21:14] Galrick: She left earlier Korban....
[21:14] Galrick: And she of course could NEVER come back
[21:14] Korban: Indeed,but I think I speak for us all when I say we will die protecting you.
[21:14] Galrick: The woman is a Vesprian
[21:14] Galrick: she is psychic
[21:14] Galrick: all vesperians are telepathic
[21:15] * Lkeas nods. "She spoke both verbally and telepathically to us."
[21:15] Galrick: "Die protecting me?"
[21:15] Useless: "She could be tracking any of us...and I have that gift as well, who is to say I am not a beacon to one practised as her."
[21:15] Galrick: "And what good would that do?"
[21:15] Galrick: "Listen we know she is there or was there"
[21:15] Galrick: "We do not know what she might or might not do"
[21:16] Galrick: "We do know that both the Prophet and I are uneasy"
[21:16] Galrick: "It seems to me we need to act"
[21:16] Useless: "Should we not go ahead and use the gem now, as I think you are suggesting?"
[21:16] Galrick: "Not shuffle our feet"
[21:16] Galrick: "But not if you do not trust me"
[21:16] Korban: So to be safe perhaps we should..formulate a plan?
[21:16] * Lkeas nods. "Be ready to act when the time comes.."
[21:16] Ness: Yes, but I also trust Falerin...
[21:16] Galrick: "I gave up too much at this stage of my life to play games"
[21:17] Galrick: "I probably will not live to see my next birthday. I defintely won't live to see the one after that"
[21:17] Elaith: Ok, I remember.
[21:17]

• Hadin nods to Lkeas. "It is times like these where I keep in mind

that Falerin has admitted to *not* being omniscent, and that there are far too many pieces arrayed on both sides of the board. You have my trust, Galrick, and that of my son's."
[21:17] * Lkeas frowns. "You are still determined then.. I have always admired that in you, Galrick."
[21:17] * Ness nods
[21:17] Elaith: She said that formal names were fine. That's what they used onboa- abroad. That's pretty close to how it was phrased.
[21:18] Ness: Galrick is right....
[21:18]

• LordBarrius nods at Galrick. "I trust you, friend. We all do....we're

just concerned. But if you're certain it's a good idea, then we should try it."
[21:18] Galrick: And as for the Paradox it causes since we are in a major center.
[21:18] Galrick: Thats the least of my wories I already have Paradox like flaws due to the experiments
[21:18] * Galrick tosses the Gem Stone
[21:18] Galrick: "Open Sesame"
[21:19] >Ambiance<: The gem stone rolls to a stop on the pavement and then begins spining on its apex
[21:19] >Ambiance<: The stone begins to increase in size and glow dramatically
[21:19] >Ambiance<: The stone continues to grow
[21:19] >Ambiance<: The stone continues to grow
[21:19] Elaith: Oh yeah, we will arrive in Deren supposively if I remember correctly.
[21:19] >Ambiance<: The stone stops a small knob apparent on its outside
[21:20] * Korban watches the gem,awaiting its conclusion so that they may leave.
[21:20] Ness: That was if we used it in the park
[21:20] * Lkeas nods to Elaith. "Perhaps.. we may see Tralin again?"
[21:20] Useless: "That might change given our new position."
[21:20] *** Raku has signed off IRC (Distracted: AQStats Web Client).
[21:20] * Galrick turns the knob and opens a door in the side of the Gem
[21:20] *** Raku has joined #epic.
[21:20] Elaith: Perhaps. We'll do what we have to.
[21:20] * Galrick swallos
[21:20] Galrick: "Home again home again..."
[21:20] * Galrick steps into the Gem stone
[21:21] * Ness follows Galrick
[21:21] * Korban follows behind Galrick.
[21:21] * Lkeas gestures to the other seekers and steps in.
[21:21]

• Useless sighs softly. "I had hoped to be reunited with Damsel by this
