[18:03:21] what up [18:03:25] I'll kill you [18:14:01] We need Robin, CCD< CHams... zat all? [18:14:51] Yeah, just 3/5ths of the crew. [18:14:59] Cham can be gotten easily. [18:15:32] robin should be back soon [18:18:04] I have no idea about CCD. [18:20:09] CCD's probably stuck in traffic again. [18:20:15] :/ [18:20:18] I don't think he's going to be able to make game anywhere near consistenly. [18:20:31] like, as long as he's got this job [18:21:27] I THOUGHT this job was supposed to be 'Hey, I can come to Aeoth constantly now!' job. [18:21:46] he didn't understand the true horrors of his route to/from work [18:24:36] * Robin (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth [18:26:36] 'lo Robin. [18:28:37] Yo. [18:32:57] So now we needs a Chams and maybe a CCD [18:33:11] * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-191-99.om.om.cox.net) has joined #aeoth [18:35:41] I may go AFK at some point for a couple minutes. [18:36:04] We have someone coming by (presumably tonight) to pick up some stuff for donation. [18:36:12] ah [18:40:48] * Zegon cracks his knuckles. [18:42:12] Okay, we left off with you guys talking to... [18:42:18] * Zegon checks his notes. [18:42:23] The dog whisperer. [18:42:54] Slick Possum. [18:43:04] Whom talks to dogs. [18:43:16] * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa [18:46:25] * ZZD (CCDWork@adsl-70-239-215-180.dsl.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net) has joined #aeoth [18:46:27] * ZZD is now known as Leo [18:47:05] * Robin is now known as Kardos [18:58:45] [We come back upon our heroes on the 21st of August, 1221 as they're conversing with a strangely speaking elf child named Slick Possum. Their goal is currently to find the ghost of a child and somehow give her her final reward, or something. Heironeous was kinda vague, but said that the friend of the spring rabbit talks to said ghost. And so... here you are! Session start!] [19:01:40] My apologies, Slick Possum, but I fear I spoke with unecessary hyperbole. My intended question was as to whether you prefer the company of dogs to that of people? [19:07:15] Mind if we play with you and the dogs for a bit? [19:07:22] * Lucy said that in Elven. <> [19:07:36] * Lucy said that in Common. [19:08:05] * Kardos waits very patiently for Slick Possum to formulate an answer. [19:09:34] * Slick Possum considers for a moment. "I suppose their company is more desirable at times, but not at all times as you seem to indicate. It would be like comparaing a tree to a bush. Similar, but not the same. I enjoy both, but they are not the same." [19:10:08] * Kardos nods. "I see." [19:12:00] Of course you can, they are not mine to decide what to do with. [19:12:27] * Leo just nods a bit keeping his big fat idiot mouth shut. [19:13:23] * Lucy sits down and joins in with the playing. Maybe that'll help her open up a bit more. "So how old are you?" [19:13:58] * Hank is keeping shut with Leo. [19:15:52] * Kardos seems to be mulling over what Slick Possum said about dogs. [19:17:49] [The dogs keep a wide circle around Lucy as she moves into the pen. Cautiously they go up carefully to here, until one from further in the back charges forward and pounces on her. Soon afterwards there are a number of dogs around her, trying to get her attention.] [19:18:22] * Lucy plays with them. :D [19:27:25] * Hank blinks, and narrows his eyes a little. [19:28:25] * Hank nudges Kardos with his shoulder and says quietly, "Hey, Kardos. Take a look at that runt." He points at one of the puppies. [19:30:16] * Kardos blinks and looks at the puppy curiously. [19:30:39] * Lucy continues playing. She looks so happy. :D [19:31:26] * The puppy is indeed very runty. In fact, it looks to be simply working behind the others in the shadows. However, it seems to avoid the gaze of everyone until someone points it out. Even Lucy's not seeing any significance in it. [19:32:03] * Kardos walks over to the runtly dog and pets it. [19:32:44] * Clarissa blinks. [19:32:49] ...why didn't I see that before? [19:32:50] * Lucy watches. "Hey, thanks for joining in. ... wow, that one's tiny. Isn't that adorable?" [19:33:35] I suppose so. [19:33:44] Cause it's trying not to be seen, Clarissa. [19:33:49] * Kardos holds the dog and sniffs its breath. [19:34:32] Riiiiight. [19:34:42] I didn't know puppies were particularly stealthy. [19:34:52] Maybe it's just shy [19:34:53] * The dog's very cute, but non-descript. It's petted by Kardos, who can tell its breath is fairly normal for a dog. [19:37:03] * Hank looks at the dog, silently. [19:37:06] Kardos, can I see him? [19:37:55] * Kardos blinks, then nods, gently handing the puppy to Clarissa. [19:38:45] * Clarissa quickly gives the animal a going over, checking for any obvious signs of illness or real weakness. [19:41:35] * Leo blinks looking at it [19:41:44] Anything, Clarissa? [19:42:19] Hmm, gimme a sec. [19:42:37] * Lucy turns to Slick Possum. "When did you find this dog?" [19:44:00] [The puppy is in somewhat poor health due to lack of nutrition, but is unusually intelligent on Clarissa's inspection and moves just before what she's looking for so she can easily find and inspect/test it. It's also surprisingly responsive to any tests of physical reaction, and male.] [19:44:37] It's healthy. A bit mal-nourished, its instincts are working against it getting enough food. [19:44:47] Very smart, though. [19:45:17] ... it won't eat? [19:45:30] No, it won't come out to be seen, so it doesn't get fed enough. [19:45:38] Oh... [19:46:26] Well, we have a ghost of a pup, here. [19:46:30] And I think I know his destiny. [19:46:41] Yes, you're gonna get your final reward, little pup. [19:46:47] ... huh? [19:47:33] What service are we rewarding? [19:47:48] That is Sigel, I do not know where he is from as I was not the one who found him. Hiding Fox brought him one day here and he did not eat very much, even when he did have the opportunity to. He is very shy, but a good listener if he is there. You like him? [19:47:50] What've you got in mind? [19:48:10] * Clarissa looks down at SLick Possum. "I'll give you fifty gold for him." [19:48:20] * Lucy blinks. [19:48:31] Clarissa... ? [19:48:50] We have to deliver unto him a spark to send him to his final reward, Lucy. [19:48:59] He is not mine to sell. I do not own him, Hiding Fox does. But I am sure he would not miss Sigel, as he barely notices the pup. [19:49:23] I see. [19:49:25] Right. What's this spark? [19:49:34] Hm... where is HIding Fox, usually? [19:49:58] Easy. I'm gonna bond him as a familiar. He's quite well suited for it. [19:50:03] Hiding Fox is not here right now. He is out hunting. If you would like to compensate him, I can do such a thing discreetly. [19:50:26] * Lucy blinks. "Why's he well-suited? And what'll that do?" [19:52:09] He's already quite intelligent, stealthy, and dextrous. Bonding him as a familiar will make him even smarter, and give him a number of excellent special abilities. [19:52:21] Ah... [19:52:37] And we can keep him well-fed, too [19:54:22] * Slick Possum pets a nearby large dog, ruffling her behind the ears. The dog's about 3 feet long and seems ready to play. "They are also good companions. Migeul here is my familiar, actually, and he has enjoyed it greatly." [19:55:13] Oh, wow. [19:55:24] How long does this Familiar thing take? [19:55:28] * Khrosk has, since you left him to his own devices, been trying to deal with the doggies but failing pretty badly except with the really large ones, who are extremely playful. [19:57:18] A day. I'll have to find the components, too, but they should be avalable here. [19:57:25] * Lucy nods. [19:57:29] Anything we can do to help you? [19:57:54] Not really. You guys will pretty much have the day off. [19:58:33] Alright. I guess I might wanna go find HIding Fox, find out more about Sigel. [19:58:49] * Khrosk is currently under a pile of very playful large dogs. "Khrosk like doggies!" a few seconds pass "Ow! No bitings! Bad doggies!" [20:06:01] [Okay, Fast Forward! After getting the dog and paying 50 gold or however much you decided to leave behind, you go off and Clarissa gets the necessary reagents to bond a familiar to her. A day passes after that (the 22nd) and now on the morning of the 23rd, Clarissa has a familiar! *play fanfare* She might want to describe the puppy now.] [20:10:03] [In the morning, you find another note like the one initially in the middle of your camp. [20:10:05] ] [20:10:25] * Lucy wakes up, and doesn't try to touch the note. [20:10:27] [And by initially, I mean the one that the court of the seelie left you.] [20:10:29] Hank, you wanna handle this? [20:11:50] * The pup looks quite a bit stronger now, his fur a healthy shade of strangely glossless black, and his eyes shine with uncommon intelligence as he peeks out from behind Clarissa's legs, where "behind" is defined as "away from most of the people" [20:12:37] Yeah, give me a minute. [20:12:49] * Hank sidles up to the note, slipping on a pair of goggles. [20:13:53] Oh, good. The fey are vigilant. [20:14:15] * Clarissa smiles happily, then reaches down and scritches Sigel's head. [20:14:54] * Sigel seems to be much happier with his new lot in life. [20:15:11] I was right. He makes such a good familiar. [20:15:36] * Lucy smiles. [20:16:04] Maybe we can take him back to visit Migeul. [20:23:50] [The area around the paper poofs in a puff of smoke and lights on fire briefly, making a small circle of scorched grass around the paper. The parchment itself is undamaged. [20:23:51] ] [20:24:06] You alright? [20:25:03] * Hank blinks, then coughs slightly. "I'm fine. My pride will take a few days to heal up." [20:25:25] Whew. [20:25:28] Is it safe now? [20:25:39] * Clarissa giggles. [20:28:40] Should be fine. Unless the fae are going to drop a bucket of water on your head when you read it. [20:28:47] * Kardos blinks. [20:28:51] Alright, cool. [20:28:58] * Hank picks it up and scans it briefly. [20:29:04] * Lucy walks up to the parchment. Then pauses a bit. Then looks up. [20:29:09] That thing's in Sylvan, right? [20:31:36] Nope. [20:32:02] * Hank reads it, then hands it to Lucy. [20:32:31] * As Hank begins reading the note, the words literally materialize above him in fluent common script and it speak in a childish voice: [20:32:48] "From the beginning you came but the end is in sight! [20:32:49] " [20:32:54] Ooh [20:33:09] "The goal you have is close, stay tight!" [20:33:09] "To find what you seek, travel north for a week." [20:33:09] "Be sure then on the next night's fall, Make the dog known as Sigel to call." [20:33:09] "After the call head to the west. Donned in your clothes, made for the best." [20:33:09] "Upon the end of the 9th day, you should find," [20:33:10] "the court of the Seelie, and all its great kind." [20:33:37] Ooh. Useful. [20:33:40] And specific. [20:33:47] I like that in a message from the fae. [20:33:56] * Hank does a doubletake. "Court? Oh, brother." [20:34:09] * Kardos frowns. [20:34:23] I do not believe I have anything that qualifies as formal attire. [20:34:42] Well, go buy yourself some. [20:34:51] That's the only bit that sounds weird to me. [20:35:13] We're supposed to find formal attire. Or maybe find "the best" and take their clothes. [20:35:25] ... [20:35:46] No, Lucy. [20:35:55] No taking clothes? [20:36:10] We're not stealing clothes. Just go buy some nice clothes. [20:36:15] I'm sure there's a tailor, here. [20:38:04] Yeah, I guess we could do that just in case. [20:42:28] [Session End!] [20:42:39] * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger [20:45:28] * NinjaDebugger is now known as SleepDebugger [23:11:50] * Kardos (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) Quit (Quit: WHEE!)
