Editing Patron Saints/Session 16

'''Part 1'''<br>
&lt;Greenling&gt; Last time, on Patron Saints.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Peyt was out cold, there was sushi, there was talking, and there was a two-day waiting period before the next meeting.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; (what scene does everyone want to do? we can skip ahead or not.)<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; NEXT DAY<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Peyt wakes up.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; There is a tiny, meek-looking, violet-eyed man with strange hair checking your pulse.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; Peyt yawns wide, his DBT maw gigantic. He barely notices the scales when he scratches. He does notice the tiny thing checking up on him. "...the hell are you?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Hello. Are you all right?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; (He reminds you a bit of a mouse, except for the vaguely funereal look about him.)<br>* WhiteCrow is busy clenaing her weapons in all of this. ANd wishing she knew Exoricsim and Warding. It had to ahve soemthigna gainst Anathema<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; Especially big toothy Lunar ones<br>* Zhubin laughs at Peyt.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Change back into something at least half-way normal, would you?"<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "That way we don't have to figure out how to fold you into something that will fit in the meeting rooms."<br>* Kitsunemimi-Maiden_ has joined #fridaymortals<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; (zomgReeeeeei~)<br>* Kitsunemimi-Maiden_ is now known as Rei<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Yer mother was a foxmole, Zhubin." He grunts as he shifts back to his human form, the tail and claws receding into his body. "Now. Why's a mouse rubbin' me?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...Buh?" o.o<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...So are you okay, or?" He seems confused.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Now, now Peyt, the only one of us here who's parentage wasn't human is you."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; The man scratches his head and stands up.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "My mum was human. Dad was a god. Yer mum was a foxmole. Mine was cooler." Peyt gets up, rubbing his shoulders. "Yeah I'm okay...I guess...whatever, don't care."<br>* Rei glances over at Peyt some, blinking.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He nods. "I'm sorry. What Thrall did to you will pass, but it'll take a few days."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Yeah, yeah. Did I at least bite off an arm or somethin'?"<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Hahaha. No."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Uhm, no. Though I understand he had quite a shiner for a little while?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Thrall's perfectly well and in one piece. He kicked your ass."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "He didn't..." Kalil sighs. "Don't give him that much credit, please."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He smiles apologetically at Rudeth.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "I don't want to make Thrall sound good, but Peyt? Even being as big as a barn, you couldn't hit one."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...Oh. Oh, right. I did have something to tell you today, didn't I." He chews a thumbnail briefly.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "The hell you talkin' bout? I totally hit him."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Tell me what?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Gosh, I must've written it down." He checks his pockets. "Uhm. The- the paperwork. Things. And Rudeth. No offense, but I'd rather help you leave Yu-Shan as quickly as possible after what happened yesterday."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Wait, what happened yesterday?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "The...which part of what happened yesterday? What did I do?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; D:<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He pulls out a paper and looks up at Peyt. "Oh- the, uh, the thing in the office? With the birds? Wasn't it yesterday?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Some day. Anyway." He hands the paper to Zhubin. "Instructions."<br>* Zhubin takes and reads the paper.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Let's see what new shit we're in, shall we?"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "What birds? I didn't fuckin' DO anythin'!"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; There are meticulous, clear, detailed instructions on how best to go about preparing a defense for Peyt's Manse claim in tiny, clear little Old Realm characters.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "You, uhm, well. I'm sorry. There was another error, is that clearer? Except this place isn't technically governed by Fate, which makes us worry. It's not out of the ordinary but it is rather severe."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Oh my. This is actually extremely helpful!"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He smiles at Zhubin.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...another error what? Who the fuck is screwin' with me now!?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "There- ..." The man holds his head in his hands and mumbles.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; Speaking slowly, as if to a child...or Peyt: "Do you remember the message that got to us before the Secretary sent it?"<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Time normally goes one direction. When shit skips around, it's an error. A very bad one."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...then they should fix it." His stomach growls loudly.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "We're trying to do that." :/<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Not doin' too well, are ya?"<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Peyt, it's not something that comes up daily, I'd imagine. Nor easily fixable."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Then they shouldn't have broken it." He got up from where he was sleeping and tried to find where his dad hid the liquor.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; You are still in the Bier's dojo.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; *the Sids hid the liquor<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil just looks plaintively at Peyt.<br>* Rei somehow has the feeling that alcohol + fate rarely is a good combination<br>* Zhubin sighs and shrugs sadly at Kalil.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "You're a very nice man when you want to be, Mister Zhubin. I'm sorry about everything."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Peyt, no boozing in a dojo. And I'm pretty sure they didn't break time. It's because your overly large ass is outside Fate." Muttering the rest "And the rest of us, too."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Sorry about what?" Zhubin shakes his head. "And I try to always be nice, actually. Peaceful discussion is so much better than atrocious shouting."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; ... ..!<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Yep. Large ass. Almost as big as Gem. Oh wait. Gem's gone. Ya can blame me for fuckin' with time when cities are back where they're supposed ta be."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He points to Rudeth.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...What?" D: <br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I swear I didn't do anything this time!"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "And you, I need to sh- s- thing." He thinks for a moment. "You are, uhm. We need to test something."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...This time? o.O<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Did Rudy do something wrong?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Oh, um. Nevermind."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "It's always the quiet ones."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Test for what?"<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "The this time is a verbal tic. We're so used to Peyt accusing us of things that it's become automatic."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Yeah, sure. Definitely."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; &gt;_&gt;<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil just looks confused for a moment. "Uhm. Just let me take you to meet somebody."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...You can come too if you want."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "It's very nice to meet you, by the way. I... wasn't actually aware Thrall had any siblings," he says, a little embarassed.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Well, while Heaven is interesting, I do get lost. I think, if you don't mind, I'd like to accompany you." Zhubin turns around, to look at Peyt. "You come too, we'll buy you some cheap food, probably."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I don't know why. Though I suspect it's related to our little problem."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I wasn't aware I had any siblings, either, until a couple of days ago."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; His stomach grumbles louder. "Tired of people dickin' around with me."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil moves to pat Peyt on the shoulder, then thinks better of it.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He begins walking out.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; Rudeth follows him, since he's apparently going to meet someone and not in trouble.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "So, what sort of a test is this?" &gt;_&gt;<br>* WhiteCrow finally finds her way to the Violet Bier of Sorrows after having spent the day researching,w ndeirng and detailing things. She finds the localsr ude, pompous and the attempts to pick-pocket her for quintessence she doesn't hav einteresting, tos ayt he least<br>* Zhubin goes along too.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "An empirical one."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...is that anything like arithmetic?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil looks confused again.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "No. It's a controlled test, to check for the presence or absence of one thing, generally."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Coincidence strikes again as the group runs into Crow on the way out.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Also Namhwa and Rei. You're here for some reason.<br>* Rudeth hugs Rei.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I have to take a test." <br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "For...I really don't know what."<br>* Zhubin shrugs.<br>* Zhubin also waves at Crow, Namhwa, and Rei.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; The party seems to be moving towards the Bureau of Heaven.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Some little side office. ...Well, relatively little.<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Oh... I don't think I've ever actually taken a 'test,' I hope you do well."<br>* WhiteCrow tilts her head as she sees the others, "THought I'df ind you here." SHe looks over ot Peyt and takes a step away from him, "So where are you guys headed?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I have to take a test."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I hope there's no math." &gt;_&gt;<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "'Lo," says the small man to Crow.<br>* Peyt_Yenthu has quit IRC (Ping timeout�)<br>* Peyt_Yenthu has joined #fridaymortals<br>* WhiteCrow looks at Rudeth curiously, "What is this test for, precisely?"<br>* WhiteCrow also looks a tthe man, "And who the hell is he?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I have no idea."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He tilts his head. "Oh. Sorry, I'm Kalil." He bows generously to Crow.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I'm his brother's Sifu."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Nice to meet you." ^-^<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "I believe Kalil is a coworker of.....his Sifu?"<br>* Zhubin stares at Kalil.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil blinks at Zhubin.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "I'd like to apologize again for Peyt's behavior."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; Quitely: "Please don't kill us."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; *Quietly<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "I didn't do nothin'. Thrall told me to, 'n Rudy was bein' a pissant."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; ..."I don't want to kill you." D:<br>* Zhubin looks side to side sheepishly.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I mean. I really doubt it'll become necessary!"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I just said that I didn't think you could take him. And he beat you. So there."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He looks somewhat worried.<br>* Cho watches the scene cautiously.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "......why would it be necessary?"<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Hypothetically."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; &gt;_&gt;<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Zhubin, I have some stuff to tell you later."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Let's not talk of murder and such, it's a distasteful topic."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...." Peyt sets his hand on the top of Rudeth's head.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Oh? Hypothetically, well, I mean, certain things... Fate's weird. But mostly that never happens! Except when you're outside of Fate. Also, Solars tend to, well. Uhm. Things. But this shouldn't be an issue!"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...I can squeeze at any moment."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I'm sorry?" D:<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Is this going to be stuff that makes me look back at the past few days and then begin to gibber in fear of just how close I came to a horrible fate?"<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Bad Peyt!" Zhubin slaps his hand away from Rudy. "No crushing our comrade's skulls."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Oh, no, this is much more general," he tries to be reassuring towards Zhubin.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; Peyt rests his hand on Zhubin's head.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "I'm still bigger than you."<br>* Zhubin laughs.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Also, please don't kill the boy. He's rather important and Thrall would be very angry. As would I, a bit."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Yes, but I had an AXE bounce off me. I'm not too worried about a fist."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "And then Thrall would /really/ kick your ass." :3<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; ...Facepalm. "Not helping."<br>* Rei frowns softly, ears folding back as she steps up to Peyt, head barely at his chest level, giving a little "bap" with her knuckles on his chest.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...." <br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...first chance I get. I'm eating all of you." He grumps on ahead.<br>* Rudeth glomps Rei.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; :D<br>* Cho quietly taps his hands between his legs in the "eat me" gesture at Peyt's back.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "I saw that."<br>* Zhubin just sighs, putting his head onto his hands.<br>* Rei blushes and purrs, hugging Rudeth back<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Why is it, that even though nearly all of us have been blessed and Chosen by one Heavenly Being or another, that they still act like children?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "People are strange." ^-^;<br>* WhiteCrow nods to Kalli as the group goes along, looking at Rudeth and Rei's behavior. She glares at Peyt at that, "I will explode every grenade I have in your stomach if that ever come to pass."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Hey! I haven't!" &gt;_&gt;<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "I'm almost 30, I'm not a child."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Because people keep fuckin' with me and my pa died. I'm allowed."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Eventually you arrive at your destination.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; There is a small office and a man with very large golden hair inside, puttering with something.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He sees you outside and peeks his head out.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil, meanwhile, seems to be hiding behind Peyt.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Hello?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Um...Hi. He says I need to take a test-thing of some sort." Rudeth points at Kalil.<br>* WhiteCrow has her hands in her buff jacket's pcokets and yawns a bit at this, wondering what's going on still<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; There is no purplesid. The man with the large hair blinks.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; Peyt looks down at the little thing. "....I'm not a wall."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; ;.;<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...Uh, right. Some sort of a test to see if I am or am not something or other."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; The purplesid peeks out. The other one smiles.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Aren't you just adorable. Who're your friends?" "...D: Please just tell me what he is and let me go."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "But... what do you mean? And stop cringing, I'm not going to hurt you, dear." "Can't you see them? All of them? &lt;_&lt;" "..." The large-haired man looks closer at the group.<br>* Cho tilts an eyebrow.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "........so, when exactly do yer balls drop?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; The man's eyes grow wide and glittery.<br>* Zhubin stares at the hair.<br>* Rei blinks, staying slightly behind Rudeth<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Oh. My. Aren't you WONDERFUL." He grabs Peyt's arm and hugs him.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "..."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Dammit Peyt, quit insulting everyone!"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "......"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "........."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...what."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "............"<br>* Zhubin begins laughing.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "..............."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "What?"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; ".................."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I was supposed to see you ages ago! What happened?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...I guess this explains how you're friends with Thrall." <br>* Zhubin continues to laugh, now on the floor from lack of air.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "I do not know what is going on. But it is weird, and I have hit my weird limit."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "My goodness, are you still doing well down there? Still with that army? One of your little Solar friends has a nice one and I think he wants to play."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; :/<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...who........what...I don't...."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Oh, I'm terribly sorry." He lets go. "I should introduce myself."<br>* Cho thinks this fellow might be a little senile.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He bows. "My name is Lytek, God of Exaltations. Wonderful to meet you all!"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; Peyt can't decide if he should hate this person, or simply pat him on the head and walk away.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Oh."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "I see."<br>* Zhubin stops laughing. Very suddenly.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He pokes and prods Namhwa. "I did get all of that Wyld taint, didn't I? Just checking."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil is going back to *hiding*.<br>* Cho restrains himself from poking and prodding Lytek and asking about getting all of that douchebaggery. "I certainly hope so."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "So...you know about our past lives?"<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Pleasure to meet you, sir."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; :)<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Ohh, good." He hugs you. "You're going to have so much fun up here, I just know it."<br>* Rei peers at the God who seems to be responsible for Zhubin and Peyt and Crow and Cho.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I do indeed, dear. Your, uhm, you died rather quickly, I'm afraid, last time, though the one before that was..." &lt;_&lt; "Very interesting?"<br>* Cho returns the hug hesitantly.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; Zhubin rubs his throat. "Yeeees. I seem to remember a certain someone, in fact."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Your friend here?" :3<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I'm afraid your last incarnation would've been much better suited to that, but you fit the job well enough, and well, it's understandable."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Oh no, no, I more meant the previous life ending quickly. Though for some reason, I do believe someone owes me money from Hollow."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Peyt feels a sudden spot of dread in the pit of his stomach, as if he were a small child hoping to get away with something who just got caught.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...I just remember trying to get drunk, and then throwing Zhubin through a window."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Wasn't that the day before yesterday?"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "I still remember it."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Yes, I thought so."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I'm afraid I don't understand, dear. What is it you're asking? -Oh! I was supposed to-" he looks over Rudeth.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "You're most certainly not on my list. I can't imagine why you wou-"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; There is a long moment of silence from hair God.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...What?"<br>* WhiteCrow raises her eyebrows at the god a bit, raising her hand at all his talking and such, "Mr. Lytek, I have a question in all of this."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "..."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...Yes, Miss Crow?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Still staring at Rudeth.<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "So we're not Anathema. I am correct in this?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Huhm?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "The designation of Anathema- the Immaculate Order- uhm." Distracted.<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "I'm not Immacualte. I assure the term is now past just beign owned by that organizaiton."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Are Crow and Zhubin demons or are they really chosen by the Unconquered Sun?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "-Oh. Well, they're Chosen by the Sun, of course. I recall he might have said something to the effect himself?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "See, Crow? You're not a crazy demon-controlled glowy-monster."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Wait wait wait. If Pissant isn't on the list, then why're we here?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Rudy gets poked in the cheek.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...You're Pan. Were Pan. How are you not..."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I'm...what?"<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "He means Rudy, not Pissant," Cho interjects.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "He told me." Zhubin smiles at Crow. "Told you we weren't Anathema."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Rudy is now Pissant. Don't squash my rights to naming."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "We shall squash your rights as you squash our sensibilities."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Fuck you, Fucker McFuckerton."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He takes a deep breath.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Well. Somehow. That boy- your brother, isn't he? you look just like him- just keeps dragging people into trouble."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Yeah, I get the impression he does that."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "But...um...who's Pan?"<br>&lt;Cho&gt; :(<br>* WhiteCrow glares at Zhubin, "Yeah, apaprently. Still doesn't sit right for me."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "The name of your last incarnation was Pan Ilrithier. He was... rather young when he died. It was a bit of a scandal."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "But I really oughtn't talk about that, especially since I'd like to."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Sorry." He shrugs apologetically. "Anything else I can do for you wonderful people today?"<br>* Zhubin shrugs. "If you'd like to talk about it, we wouldn't mind hearing about it.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...How did he die?"<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Oh, come on. Surely you don't get such an attentive audience."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "No, no, no. It's really- I really shouldn't."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; *very frequently<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Come on!" :) Cho gives an indulgent smile.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "And by that I mean I don't want to get in trouble, really, I'm sorry."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I ought to go." He grabs his things and starts scooting out. &lt;_&lt;<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Oh. Well, we certainly wouldn't want to get you into any trouble, sir."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "No one here will get you in trouble. You're the _God_ of _Exaltations_ . We trust and love you implicitly."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "--Wait! Don't I have to take a test?" D:<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "I hate him. But I'm reserving my emotions for a time when it is more socially acceptable."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Eeeenot everyone shares your enthusiasm, b- what?"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Like when I'm really drunk."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Oh. Oh, dear, you passed." Handwave~<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "...what?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; D:<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Bye!" He scoots more quickly. &lt;_&lt;<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "But I don't even know what it was!"<br>&lt;Cho&gt; :(<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...I'm gonna have to do it? Seriously?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; The God of Exaltations is escaping out the back exit unless you all do something about this.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; Peyt lets out a sigh. "Fine. Ungrateful fuckers....god I'm hungry."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; There's a flash of silver, and Lytek finds himself bumping into a very large and scaly chest leaning against the door.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Bad Peyt!"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "GAH!"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "He made my head hurt. Now he's gonna make it unhurt."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "No interfering with Gods, that got you in trouble already!"<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "Ummm...Peyt...I dont' think you're allowed to do that..."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He is pinned. A couple of passers-by gape.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Sir, I can't say I could possibly have anything you'd want."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "People keep dickin' around with us! I'm confused and cranky! Crazy hair's gonna talk and make SOMETHING UP HERE MAKE SENSE MOONDAMMIT!"<br>&lt;Cho&gt; :/ Cho reserves comment, silently wondering if Peyt's doing the right thing.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...Aw, you're still in Waxing phase, aren't you." &lt;3<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Peyt, I'm pretty sure the only way to make you not glow is to kill you. So, suck it up, change back to human, and quit whining."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "What was the test and what did I do and NO ONE TELLS ME ANYTHING" D:<br>* WhiteCrow holds her hand to the handle of her weapon, "Peyt, let him go."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Rei! Find a sandwich!"<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "He really should at least tell us what's going on with Rudeth."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil appears beside Peyt. "Uhm."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I. Uhm. This is my fault. Please let him go."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "At least tell Rudeth, don't jerk him around like this. Come on, Lytek."<br>* Cho is pushing the "come on" approach.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I- I what do you even- it's classified!"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "I'm not even holdin' him. I'm just standin' here. Gods, you guys act like I'm grapplin' him or somethin'."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...Oh, or do you mean his Exaltation?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Is that it?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I just want to know why I'm here and what's going on."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Why you're- well, boy, when a man and a woman love each other very much, or at least would like to pretend they do-"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; Peyt's stomach growls loudly.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Lytek backs away from Peyt.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I mean why I'm /here/!" Rudeth gestures at the building.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Oh. I suppose because you're not on record."<br>* Cho gives Lytek a disappointed frown.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Terribly unfortunate, minor bureaucratic error, you understand."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "On record as what?"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "What am I supposed to be on record for?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Er, as a future member of the, er, Golden Barque, and I do wish you were nice and visible so I could check to see whether telling you that had fouled up your threads even worse."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "I...what?"<br>* Rei blinks some, glancing to Peyt.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...he's makin' my head hurt more."<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "Golden Barque?"<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "Mercury has 'em too?"<br>* Cho looks at Rudeth.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "...They all do, dear. All the Maidens."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "And Luna and Sol. And Gaia, of course."<br>* WhiteCrow rubs her head a bit, "Gaia I kind of assumed."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "It is rather safe to."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "So I'm...but you lost my paperwork...?"<br>* WhiteCrow sighs and leans agains thte doorway's threshold, "This is a long weeek."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Nnnoooo, you just..." he sighs. "It's all very complicated and I don't even know exactly what happened, I'm afraid. Just that something went wrong."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "The relevant information to even begin explaining has been classified. I don't know how your last Exaltation died."<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "Exaltation?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "It really, as far as I know, since you're here, probably doesn't even mean anything. But who knows? Lady Jupiter, I presume."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Oh, er, they choose their hosts at birth, for Sidereals. It's sort of a necessary thematic element and reduces friction among the Pattern Spiders."<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; ...<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "Host?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "The person bonded to the Exaltation."<br>* Zhubin nods.<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "Why does this still sound like demon possession?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I have no idea, dear."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Because you worry too much."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I wasn't aware demons could possess living people, but then that's not my field." &lt;_&lt;<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Nothing Mr. Lytek here has said had anything to do with Malfeas."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "So thus, no demons."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "So what? Thrall got Pissant's shite?"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Who are you referring to as Pissant, dear?"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; Peyt puts his hand on Rudeth's head. "Only person I've been callin' Pissant."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Oh, you mean Rudeth. Your accent is terrible, Peyt."<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "But it is a foreign entity entering my soul, causing me to glow with a not-Terrestiral anima and genrlaly making me look like i took pwoer form Celestial deities and themes.<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "Its a bit oddly like the descriptiosn, much to say."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "You're still acting like yourself."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "You didn't take it. You... to be honest never really had a choice in the matter."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Well, sure. The Immaculates would have had to base the description on truth, at least in part."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "If it really was a demon, shouldn't you be foaming at the mouth and slaughtering us all or something?"<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "After all, the High First Age was around long before the Immaculate Faith, after all."<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "Or at least, you know, attacking Peyt." :V<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "it's given to you because the Sun wanted to give it to someone and you seemed like a nice, righteous young woman who would go far in life without forgetting the mortal woman she was."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; (*It was)<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Your skepticism is commendable, but I can't really support your conclusions, you understand."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Erm. Anyhow. Can I go now?"<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "Seeing as its par tof your job description, I'm not one to really push the issue with gods sometimes."<br>&lt;WhiteCrow&gt; "I guess."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I'm sure you have plenty of work to do... of... some kind. Whyever it is you're up here, for example."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "I don't want to know."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Like Mr. Lytek says, and as the Sun said to me, 'Quit worrying, and go do great things the Sun would appreciate.'" Zhubin smiles.<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "...but he didn't say nothin' other than something weird is happenin'."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Sure he did. It's not demonic, and this power was given to us to do wonderful things with."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; ...Scoot, scoot, scoot.<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "So it logically follows that one shouldn't worry!"<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "So I used a be a boy, I'm supposed to be like my brother, things got lost, and I was murdered."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; Zhubin will continue to yap at Peyt as Lytek scoots away.<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Good-bye, Lytek. Again, nice meeting you."<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "But...but that had nothin' to do with why I got woken up 'n dragged all the way out here. Tests on pissant and...shit...........I fuckin' hate this place. People never fuckin' say what they mean."<br>* WhiteCrow shrugs and starts to wander away, "I know how you feel on this Peyt. Heaven is a bit more...dirty, then I expected. I want to go back a bit."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil reappears again. "That went... better than expected."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "It'll be ok Peyt. It's just part of dealing with actual society." To Crow: "Heaven reflects Creation. If Heaven is in disarray and dirty, then we must reform Creation!"<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Unless Ochieng has any more questions I suppose I will be leaving as well?"<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; "Still have no fuckin' clue what happened."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Well...where can we go to feed Peyt?" Zhubin smiles warmly at Kalil, and bows.<br>* Rudeth is making mental notes to look up anything he can on this Pan person.<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; "Uhm. Anywhere food is, I suppose?"<br>* Cho silently asks Kalil if there's a way to punch someone into becoming nicer.<br>&lt;Rudeth&gt; "We could go back to the sushi place." :D<br>&lt;Cho&gt; *quietly, not silently<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil looks at you. "Probably. Ask one of the Joybringers."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; He looks up. "Thrall's friend's Sifu should know."<br>&lt;Cho&gt; "Thanks."<br>&lt;Zhubin&gt; "Sorry, it was a small joke."<br>&lt;Greenling&gt; Kalil nods and bows. "Pleasant tidings, then."<br>* WhiteCrow sighs and rubs her head a bit, still feeling annoyed at the Anathema-are-Exalted thing as she gets confirmation on teh guy who's job it is<br>&lt;Peyt_Yenthu&gt; Peyt's stomach growled.<br>
