Start of #Sharn buffer: Wed Feb 27 20:44:51 2008 [17:35:56] [A day has passed since Aurora hired the Truestrike Inquisitive Agency to further it's investigation on the whereabouts of the Divine Arrow vigilante. In the meantime, Mari has left her newly created homunculus to work on an item Aurora comissioned while she started hanging out with Loharath one-on-one. They enjoyed harrassing rude people and assholes together.] [17:36:45] [Aurora arrives at Mari's magic item shop to pick up her item, and finds Phanos already inside.] [17:37:07] [Zor, Therendor 17, 998 Y.K.] [17:37:12] [Session Start] [17:37:25] "Hey girl." [17:37:34] * Aurora pushes the door open. "Hi Phanos, Mari." [17:37:51] Hey Aura! It's done! [17:38:16] Thanks! [17:38:37] * Loharath looks up. "Hey, Aurora." [17:38:50] [A small clay man, about half the size of a gnome, waddles out from the back of Mari's shop, where her apartment and workshop are. It's holding a rolled up scarf in it's tiny hands.] [17:39:12] [It waddles up to Aurora and extends it's short pudgy arms, offering her the scarf.] [17:39:19] * Aurora bends down to pick it up and smiles. [17:39:24] * Phanos finds this hysterical. [17:39:30] "Its a little mon!" [17:39:48] * Phanos walks over to it and pokes it with the blunt end of his scythe. [17:39:50] It's adorable. [17:41:07] * Nova (Novaseaker@pool-72-89-145-94.nycmny.fios.verizon.net) has joined #Sharn [17:41:27] * NovaSeaker (Novaseaker@pool-72-89-145-94.nycmny.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [17:41:32] * Nova is now known as NovaSeaker [17:41:35] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [17:41:36] * Marianysa laughs. "Yeah, and he's useful too. Worth the time to make him, I tell you." [17:42:23] Did you name him? [17:42:48] Mm, not yet. [17:44:58] [Suddendly there's a loud, insistent knocking on the door. Apparently someone's in such a rush they forgot the door is open.] [17:45:12] "How bout poopy." [17:45:51] * Aurora glances over [17:45:56] * Marianysa looks blankly at Phanos. "Yeah, that's fantastic." She goes to the door. [17:46:07] * Phanos doesn't looks up. "It's probably dat loud man." [17:47:02] [Alexander greets Mari with a very emphatic. "Thank the Sovereigns!"] [17:47:05] * NovaSeaker is now known as Alexander [17:47:21] "And most of you are here too, great." [He looks a little out of breath.] [17:47:42] Whoa, what's wrong? [17:47:55] "We split up. Ban went to Aun's apartment and Sigma went to Blackstone." [17:48:18] "Someone broke into our offices and stole the case file we kept on the Divine Arrow investigation." [17:48:42] "Including our notes on our employers- You." [17:48:45] Wait, what? [17:49:00] Oh hell. [17:49:13] Who would do that? Xev and those other creeps? [17:49:26] "Xev?" [17:49:27] ...though if the Divine Arrow was the thief, I guess that simplifies things. [17:49:43] * Alexander looks to Mari. "Thats our current theory." [17:50:02] * Loharath half-smiles. "This might be interesting." [17:50:30] Well... if he's seen our files, he knows we're good guys, right? [17:50:30] "Good ting my plants eat meat." [17:50:37] "He must be good at keeping his ear to the ground to find out about all these corrupt authority figures. He probably found out I was asking around for info on him. I should have been more careful." [17:51:02] "Aurora, we don't do background checks on our employers." [17:51:09] "We just had your name and addresses." [17:51:42] "Are ya operatives alright now?" [17:52:15] "We're fine. If he wanted to attack us he could have in our sleep. He broke in during the night." [17:52:41] "I'm hopin he comes aftah us den." [17:52:55] * Aurora nods. [17:53:30] "I'm just... I professionally appologize for jeapordizing your saftey. I assure you, the Truestrike Inquisitive Agency will be rethinking their security and bookkeeping measures." [17:53:37] Well, he DOES seem to pick his targets carefully. I don't think he'd attack us when he realizes we're not the sort of people he usually kills. Unless he's not the man we think he is. [17:53:44] Yeah. [17:54:06] "You wanna be keepin ya money den, maybe helps us out in de futah." [17:54:25] * Alexander walks in and takes a letter of credit out from a leather case in his jacket pocket. He hands it to Aurora." [17:54:40] "My fee for this investigation is waved." [17:54:44] * Aurora looks at it. [17:55:32] [It's an official House Kundarak letter of credit for 200 galifars, authenticated by a House Sivis dragonmark. It looks legitimate.] [17:55:52] [Made out specifically to Lady Aurora Luminese.] [17:56:14] "You should use dat fee den to find us our info, mon. Findin de info might find us our man, and papah might be easiah to track." [17:56:47] "I didn't say the investigation was over." [17:56:59] Why is the fee being waived? [17:57:22] "It's unprofessional to expect to be paid for reckless, shoddy work." [17:57:48] "Like I said, I should have been more careful." [17:59:55] You still spent the time... I'll accept it, but you did the best you could, under the circumstances. [18:00:50] "I underestimated the resourcefullness of the target because of my personal feelings of his zealotry. I didn't expect him to be this.. smart." [18:02:20] * Aurora nods. [18:02:43] Just be careful and watch out for yourselves. You're the best allies we have right now. [18:04:41] * Alexander nods. "Alright well, now that I delivered the warning, I should get back to trying to find him before he finds you..." [18:04:53] * Alexander nods to the group and turns to leave. [18:05:11] Good luck. [18:05:39] Thanks. [18:06:09] * Alexander is now known as NovaSeaker [18:06:25] [Alexander waves his thanks and walks down the bridge toward Tavick's Landing.] [18:06:36] "Well den, mebbe we should be stickin' togeddah." [18:07:06] * Aurora unrolls the scarf and puts it on in a stylish sort of way. "How does it look? [18:07:35] "Fancy, ya." [18:07:48] "Not as fancy as poomon." [18:07:50] * Mauz decides it's high time to show up, chewing on something and looking only slightly hung over. "Who's it for?" [18:08:06] * Phanos pokes the homonculus again. [18:08:14] "Hey liddle guy!" [18:08:37] [The clay man looks up at Phanos, head tilted to the side.] [18:08:54] Oh, hi Mauz. Good timing. [18:08:57] "I'm gonna teach ya to play checkas." [18:08:58] Does this scarf look good on me? [18:09:12] You want the honest answer, or the honester answer? [18:09:16] * Mauz grins, just a touch. [18:10:30] You can teach him if you want. S'long as it's not when he's working. [18:10:59] "I gonna buy us a game board den." [18:11:15] "You wanna play checkas Poomon?" [18:11:54] [The clay man props up his arms in a pudgy little shrug.] [18:12:22] "Gon' be fun. I'm Phanos." [18:12:27] Mari, I think you might want to give him a name before Poomon sticks. [18:12:41] But if you ask me, darling, I think it suits you well. [18:12:43] I think that's a lost cause at this point. [18:12:57] * Mauz wisely leaves out what else his brain told him to tack onto the end. Too early for that. [18:13:00] [Mari's homunculus waves a little wave at Phanos.] [18:13:50] "Since I gonna be heah awhile now, gon' go gets a game so I can teach Poomon heah. I be back soon." [18:14:20] * Phanos steps off with his dogs. [18:14:40] * Aurora shakes her head. [18:14:47] I'm going to come along, make sure that nothing happens. [18:15:02] In fact, maybe we should all stick together, so we don't become easier targets. [18:15:03] "You jus wan' look at de toys." [18:15:15] "I gon' be fine." [18:15:22] What if I do just want to look at the toys? [18:15:31] "Den you can come." [18:16:38] Okay, what'm I missing now? [18:16:54] We're all going to buy a game for the little buildy-man [18:17:41] Maybe we should all go. I doubt anyone wants to assassinate a homunculous, so he'll be fine. [18:18:22] ... a game. You're shitting me. [18:18:59] I guess everyone going should be fine. [18:19:10] Phanos wants to teach it checkers. [18:19:59] * Mauz raises a big ol' eyebrow. "... 'kay. Yeah." [18:20:36] "Ya mon!" [18:22:57] * Phanos has his dogs hold close and heads out! [18:23:42] * Aurora follows along. [18:24:16] * Mauz rolls his eyes, but tags along. [18:24:37] [The group heads out together, heading towards Menthis Plateau to search for a hobby/game shop.] [18:24:42] Maybe I can find something to relax. [18:25:28] * Mauz opens mouth. Closes mouth. Grins. Resumes walking. "I hear reading's good for that." [18:27:34] Reading sounds nice. [18:27:57] [When they're almost toward Smokey Towers in Middle Menthis, the bridge-side buildings become fewer and farer-inbetween, until it's mostly just a 30-foot wide causeway suspended over the gap between plataeus, with just a structure here and there, mostly private residences.] [18:28:31] [Then a light splits the air in front of the group in a streak, coming from the roof of one of these private residences.] [18:28:32] "I might wanna move up heah. Focus on some flowas." [18:28:44] * Aurora pauses and looks to the roof. [18:28:47] * Divine_Arrow (CHBoucher@c-75-69-174-102.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #Sharn [18:28:50] Hold! [18:29:18] * Phanos grins. He takes a knee behind his dogs. [18:29:24] * Marianysa stares up. "Wow, he doesn't waste time." [18:29:25] * Aurora is held. [18:29:30] ... gee, my day just got better. [18:29:35] Wow. Thanks for coming out here to meet us. [18:30:26] * Divine_Arrow steps to the edge of the roof. "Who _are_ you?" [18:30:44] * Phanos tries to get a good look at the man. [18:30:51] You took our files, so you should probably know already, but I'll introduce myself anyway. [18:31:08] My name is Aurora Lumines, Priestess of the Silver Flame. [18:32:10] [The figure on the roof is... perhaps a bit shorter than you imagined. His hood is drawn and at this distance it's hard to make out his features, but he does appear to be a bearded human. And his voice is a bit accented, from what little you've heard him speak so far.] [18:32:20] I'm Mauz the White. Who are *you*? [18:32:34] [He is holding a very ornate, ashwood bow.] [18:32:49] Name's Marianysa Leyonard. You want something? [18:33:29] Call me the Divine Arrow. Why're you so curious, Miss Lumines? [18:33:33] * Phanos doesn't bother telling the man his name. [18:33:38] (woops) [18:33:56] (Fuck( [18:34:07] Call me the Divine Arrow. Why're you so curious, Miss Lumines? [18:35:22] I'll be upfront. I found that bow, and turned it over to the church for a time. Only when I went back, they denied ever recieving it. Then I heard about you. I'm not so much interested in the bow as I am how it got into your hands, and why the church would lie to me. [18:35:32] * Aurora squints her eyes. [18:35:39] Say, what is that symbol you're wearing? [18:37:03] It's my holy symbol. [18:37:20] "De god of knifey knifey?" [18:37:47] * Mauz snorts, but otherwise holds his tongue, for now. He looks more amused than anything. [18:38:19] Your church lied to you because it's got a cancer eating at it from the inside, and I'm cutting it out. [18:38:26] "I don't tink knifey too cool wif de vulchah, mon." [18:38:50] * Divine_Arrow briefly touches his holy symbol. "I think you can figure out how I came to own it, Miss Lumines." [18:39:26] Mm. I had my suspicions, but I wanted to hear it straight from you. [18:39:44] I was afraid of that. Ever since that dwarf, everything's been hectic. [18:40:05] Cancer? Take that back, you bearded fuck! [18:40:19] So, lemme guess. You're a holy rebel on a mission, feeling yourself the only one who can do anything? [18:40:33] "Shut up mon, let de pretty one talk." [18:40:52] Pffft. Fine, take away my fun. [18:40:58] "Not you." [18:41:31] * Marianysa folds her arms, watching Divine Arrow. [18:41:57] The main reason I went through the trouble of trying to find you, was to have a talk. [18:42:19] * Divine_Arrow pointedly ignores Loharath. "We're having it. Speak." [18:42:59] How, exactly, did you get the bow? I'd like to hear the story, now that I've got the general idea. [18:49:12] It was being sent back to Thrane, under the watch of the Argentum. Very official. I killed them and found out it was being shipped to a place called Desolate. [18:49:34] I figured it would be better for everyone if I took it instead of letting it reach its destination. [18:50:12] "An den went on some kinda killin' spree widdit?" [18:51:04] I incorporated it into my ongoing killing spree. Do not interrupt. [18:51:33] * Mauz rubs his chin. "I like you. At least you're honest about being a murderer." [18:51:49] Most people justify it in some terrible manner. [18:52:02] "Ain't his place to judge." [18:52:15] I did some research on the bow, given its construction, and found out it had a name. And quite the history, according to some people in Morgrave. [18:52:49] It's all our place to judge. From the looks of you, I'd guess you've made decisions on who lives and who dies. [18:52:56] All we were ever able to discover was the name. The history... [18:53:04] We don't really know. [18:53:27] "don't send me huntin'." [18:53:54] What is Desolate? [18:53:58] I'm not familiar with it. [18:54:46] If we don't judge, then nobody will, and the world will be eaten from the top down. [18:55:05] And I'm not familiar either, but it's called Desolate. I'm confident I did the right thing when I kept it from getting there. [18:55:46] "Cleahly ya don't see dat if ya eaten it from be bottom up ya just doin' de candleburn at bof ends, mon." [18:55:51] Hmph. I'm too busy living to be bother with taking life and death into my hands. Actively. [18:55:51] * Aurora frowns. [18:55:56] What about the history of the bow? [18:56:10] What about it? [18:56:52] Everything [18:58:40] No. [18:58:58] (Whoops) [18:59:01] No. [18:59:15] On what grounds? [18:59:16] ... geez, you're a dick. You could at least give something back after all this grandstanding. [18:59:27] Only those who're worthy of the bow can know it's history. [18:59:48] I've experienced the bow, and you haven't. [18:59:57] "You a walkin' contradiction." [18:59:58] And what says you're worthy to begin with? [19:00:12] I've used it in a fight against a Rakshasa. [19:00:24] "Experienced" the bow? What, because you've killed more people with it? [19:00:48] "Den you stupidly gives it to de church, den you stupidly be askin de murderah dat be usin it to tell you bout it." [19:00:53] You're just full of shit. [19:00:59] The Rakshasa was just a symptom. [19:01:13] If your Flame was doing is job, then it wouldn't have been able to enter this world. [19:01:27] "I don't see you stoppin' it." [19:01:51] "I see you killin;' off de two-bit thugs an' callin yaself some sort-a divine vigilanteey." [19:02:17] What does this have to do with "experieincing" the bow, and how does someone become "worthy" to know its history? [19:02:30] And what do you mean "your" flame? Aren't you from Thrane? [19:02:39] I may be full of shit, kid, but at least I'm fighting the plague. It strikes harder and- [19:02:56] "Even now when ya face a true fight ya be standin' on top of a buildin ready ta run away." [19:03:13] Phanos, we are NOT here for a FIGHT. [19:03:19] We are here for a DISCUSSION. [19:03:25] "I was heah to go buy a GAME." [19:03:31] "Den dis man shooty ARROWS at me." [19:03:34] "So shut up, girl." [19:03:50] ... you know? This entire conversation is hilarious. [19:03:53] "He be, and I be. You can go inside and I makey you up a story bout it." [19:04:13] If you're here for a game, then just go buy the game. [19:04:15] Yeah, yeah, you're the only one fighting. Go you. [19:04:23] * Divine_Arrow begins laughing. "You really think the Flame's stomped out every other faith? It's not mine. Regardless, with me, the bow strikes better than it would in your hands." [19:04:54] Hay. Arrow guy. I got a question. [19:04:57] "gonna go killin' off de children of corrupt nobles next, mon cause dey done set some cats afire an' eat bettah?" [19:05:26] You. Tribal. If the next thing you say doesn't add to the conversation, leave. [19:05:41] What's your question? [19:05:43] * Phanos growls. [19:05:46] You're all about judgment, it seems. So, who's not guilty in your fun little view of the world we live in? [19:05:49] * Phanos begins to cast a spell. [19:06:00] Phanos, what are you doing?! [19:06:14] [Init] [19:06:17] "Shibbley con namah doon rakah PONT!" [19:06:31] Phanos, can you make ivy grow in his ass later? [19:08:00] * Mauz rolls his eyes, and relaxes some... [19:09:49] * NovaSeaker changes topic to 'Init Order: DA, Loharath, Mauz, Mari, Aurora, Phanos' [19:11:37] The innocent are the ones who don't live by abusing others. That ought to be obvious. Goodbye. [19:11:45] [Divine Arrow's Turn] [19:12:06] * Divine_Arrow leaps off the building into a dive, past the bridge, and begins floating a few dozen feet down. [19:12:39] ... beh. Let him go. [19:12:48] * Divine_Arrow (CHBoucher@c-75-69-174-102.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Ashamed to be involved with this lot) [19:13:31] Well, shit. [19:13:39] (Was that normally your quit message, Cha, or special?) [19:13:50] (I'm pretty sure it's normal. I don't usually see it) [19:13:51] ... What is WRONG with you? [19:13:57] ( I've seen it before ) [19:14:06] (heh) [19:14:07] Do you know how much time and effort we spent trying to find him? [19:14:15] Just to TALK with him? [19:15:09] "He talk down to me! If you gon' let him talk like dat to a FRIEN cause you wan know bout a STUPID bow, girl, den you can go fall off de bridge!" [19:15:56] He's just some self-righteous prick anyway. Be nice if we got the bow back though. [19:16:02] You need to learn how to cool your head. [19:16:18] * Phanos leaves his dog be, running towards the bridge's end and leaping from it, sprouting wings a ways down and flying after him. [19:17:05] [Phanos ends his turn diving toward the Divine Arrow, who's still in freefall.] [19:17:17] [Divine Arrow's Turn] [19:17:55] * Divine_Arrow (CHBoucher@c-75-69-174-102.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #Sharn [19:19:10] ... I dunno, I kinda like his gumption. [19:19:31] Well damn, I wasn't expecting that. [19:19:38] * Divine_Arrow twist in the air and pulls back the string of the bow, and knocks two arrows, firing for the shoulder. [19:24:04] [Loharath, Mauz, Mari, or Aurora's Turn] [19:24:49] * Phanos takes the hit, still constantly chanting non-pretty sounding words as he flies after the arrow. [19:25:03] * Mauz suddenly wishes he had something to munch on, watching the flying duel. [19:25:39] (More like "falling" duel) [19:25:43] [Phanos's Turn] [19:27:00] * Marianysa watches over the edge. "Shit. I don't have any way to reach them..." [19:27:10] * Phanos vomits up black spittle at the end of a catch phrase, the goop magically propelled for the DA's face, trying to creep into his eyes. [19:30:56] [The spittle flecks into DA's hood. Phanos can't tell if his spell worked or not from this distance.] [19:31:08] [Both Divine Arrow and Phanos fall another 600 feet.] [19:31:14] [Divine Arrow's Turn] [19:32:55] * Loharath snaps arrow after arrow towards Phanos's shoulders, intensely focused as he plummets. [19:33:00] (Fuck, again) [19:33:12] * Divine_Arrow snaps arrow after arrow towards Phanos's shoulders, intensely focused as he plummets. [19:41:58] * Marianysa squints, trying to make out what's happening./ [19:42:34] [Phanos's vision fades as he goes unconcious from the pain.] [19:42:45] [Both Divine Arrow and Phanos fall another 600 feet.] [19:43:16] [Divine Arrow's Turn] [19:43:25] * Divine_Arrow cracks a feather fall token and reaches out to grab Sev. [19:43:31] (Phanos) [19:43:42] (I DECIDE WHO I GRAB >:() [19:43:49] * Divine_Arrow cracks a feather fall token and reaches out to grab Phanos. [19:44:04] [Divine Arrow immediately falls slower, allowing the unconcious Phanos to catch up to him.] [19:45:58] [The vigilante manages to catch onto Phanos as he falls passed, and gets an arm under his shoulder.] [19:47:29] [The two figures then resume to fall quickly out of sight to those looking on the bridge.] [19:48:24] ... think I need spectacles. [19:49:09] [They seem to have been falling toward Lower Menthis, carried by the strong winds between the city's plataeus.] [19:49:25] ... again? [19:49:52] (Have been. Meaning, they probably landed in Lower Menthis.) [19:50:38] Damn. It was a good shot, at least. [19:50:52] Guess we better get him quick. [19:51:31] * Aurora sighs. "Right." [19:51:50] Yeah, count me in. I wanna shake his hand. [19:51:57] In the name of the flame, what the hell just happened? [19:52:06] (Flame.) [19:52:26] (I be an retarded tonight. :saddowns: ) [19:52:30] I'll tell you what happened. A man did something incredibly stupid, yet incredibly ballsy. My hat goes off to him. [19:52:37] Never knew Phanos could fly. That was was impressive. [19:53:23] * Loharath nods, slowly. [19:53:39] Let's... go. [19:53:45] * Aurora starts trying to find a skycab. [19:55:13] Someone grab his dogs. [19:55:57] * Mauz walks back and whistles to 'em. "C'mon boys, let's go greet your master." [19:56:34] [It takes the group a few minutes to hustle across the last few yards of the bridge, then find a skycab in Smokey Towers. They take it down to the district directly below, Torchfire, a red-light district that doesn't appear to be that bawdy and lewd this time of day. After asking about a few people "Falling from the skybridge", they're pointed to a seedy little motel where a witness says one of the guys that fell dragged the [19:56:46] [The dogs do not follow Mauz.] [19:57:03] ( fell dragged teh ) [19:57:12] ... fine, be that way. [19:57:28] other.] [19:58:26] * Aurora heads for the motel. After they board the skycab, which is after they figure out a way to get the dogs. [19:58:48] [The dogs viciously resist any attempts to move them.] [20:00:30] * Aurora just goes to get Phanos so he can go get his dogs. And so she checks the motel. [20:00:40] [Inside the motel, one of the lower-class establishments that charges by the hour, a board, greasy shifter mans the desk.] [20:00:59] "Welcome to Shady Eyes." [20:01:13] "Two copper per hour." [20:01:50] We heard a scaly guy got dragged into here. He's a friend of ours. [20:02:35] "Oh yeah. A bearded Thrane paid for his room. 2A." [20:02:49] Thanks. We'll go grab him. [20:02:53] "He left though." [20:02:56] "The Thrane." [20:03:09] * Aurora sighs. "I see. Well, that's fine." [20:04:10] [He shrugs.] [20:04:12] Per hour? Awesome. [20:04:24] ... where are the hostesses? [20:04:40] "We just supply the beds, sir." [20:05:13] [Up the stairs and first door on the right, 2A lies slightly ajar.] [20:05:20] * Aurora pushes open the 2A door [20:06:02] [Phanos lies on a bed, face down in a pillow.] [20:06:13] Beh. What a shame. [20:08:20] * Aurora goes to look over Phanos [20:08:50] Well, he's still breathing, at least. [20:09:02] [Phanos is completely unharmed, though there are several holes in his shirt where they cover his shoulders.] [20:09:36] * Aurora tries to gently shake Phanos awake. [20:09:37] At least the jackass doesn't want US dead. [20:10:12] Yeah... [20:10:19] [Phanos groggily comes to.] [20:10:32] * Phanos sits up, looking around quietly. [20:11:03] "I gonna keel dat man." [20:11:09] Come on, Phanos. Let's leave. This place charges by the hour. [20:11:17] No, you aren't. [20:11:29] * Phanos gets up, looking to Aurora. "Yes I am." [20:11:48] * Phanos gathers his things and walks out, leaving the rest of the group behind. [20:11:51] I just want to say that I think you're a true soldier, Phanos. Nutty as an acorn tree, but a soldier nonetheless. [20:11:54] Man, I never knew you could fly. That was pretty aweosome. [20:11:58] ... hey! I was complimenting you! [20:12:05] * Loharath nods. "I was impressed." [20:12:20] * Aurora sighs [20:13:18] * Marianysa follows Phanos out. "You really want him that dead? I mean, he's a dick, but it's not like he's out to kill you or anything." [20:13:46] He fought with nonlethal force, and when you apparently lost, he dragged you here. [20:13:50] "He ain't de vulchah!" [20:13:55] "He tryin' to be!" [20:14:03] * Aurora pays for whatever expenses phanos accrued. [20:14:24] (Shifter already said his room was paid for) [20:14:28] ( whoops ) [20:14:38] "Now go away. I don't care if you likey it or not, when dat man go try an' play god den insult you frien, you can't do no-ting but ask aftah a stupid bow." [20:14:54] "Play God"? [20:14:56] * Phanos keeps walking. [20:15:02] He insulted all of us. [20:15:20] Hoi. Phanos. Better if we stomp his ass together, you know! [20:15:36] "So swallow all he shit den aftah some material posession den, girl." [20:15:48] "I not have to sit at de dinnah table alongside you." [20:15:55] I am not after the BOW. [20:16:01] * Mauz trails off. "But if you're gonna roll alone, eh. Man, I gotta stop complimenting people." [20:16:02] I want to know HOW he got it. [20:16:06] * Marianysa blinks. "Sorry Phanos, I didn't realize you felt that way about it." [20:16:07] I want to know his methods. [20:16:18] You're hurting, but we all have to swallow our pride at times. [20:16:20] * Phanos describes the symbol. [20:16:30] And I'm all for kicking his ass. [20:16:36] "I not gotta swallow somebody else's." [20:18:57] ... that's The Mockery. [20:19:35] ...Well, shit. [20:19:39] ...seriously? [20:19:44] Yes. [20:19:52] What is he doing preaching to us about justice? [20:19:55] And suddenly it all makes sense. [20:20:01] * Mauz starts to chuckle. [20:20:26] * Phanos clears his throat, speaking in halted words "Look, I'll say this as Common as possible for you, Aurora. I'm...tired of not being taken seriously. I'm not just a dumb tribal, and I've been letting people call me that for too long." you can tell he's trying very hard to hold back his accent. [20:20:59] * Aurora nods... [20:21:02] "I jus speak bettah elvish." [20:21:13] We've never called you a dumb tribal, for all that's worth. [20:21:22] "'E did." [20:21:54] I guess we have our limits. Even if it's a House, you hear people mumble about you being a 'bayou yokel'. [20:22:14] ... oh. Heh, prolly said too much. [20:22:20] "I know it ain't like me, no, but it just get frustrating. I weah nice clothes, do good tings, an I get noting but condescencion." [20:22:55] "I ain't got NO respec fo dose dat try to take de law into dere own hands." [20:23:00] * Aurora nods. [20:23:07] "I wan' take his sight away, but let 'im live, ya?" [20:23:19] Fair 'nuff. [20:23:22] "Make it so he can't kill no more. Dat okay?" [20:24:04] (Wait wait wait) [20:26:53] Sounds like a plan to me. A guy who thinks he's the only justice...he's gonna be bad news. [20:27:47] Normally, I don't trust the watch that much. But if you don't want people to take the law into their own hands, then you might want to try cooperating with the watch instead of going off and trying to blind him on your own. [20:28:24] Right. [20:28:48] "Well, we back down heah. We got a fresh trail." [20:28:56] "Where are me dogs?" [20:29:05] They didn't wanna move. [20:29:06] Right where you left them. Standing there as loyal as ever. [20:29:36] One of them nicked my hand shooing me away from it. [20:31:12] "Les go get them den." [20:31:26] Right. [20:31:45] They should be okay. [20:32:13] * Phanos grumbles, calling his scythe to his hand and using it to groggily walk back to a skycab. [20:32:22] [Half an hour later, the group makes it back to the bridge, and finds Phanos's planthounds standing where they left them.] [20:32:24] "I sorry I lost me cool." [20:33:05] It was pretty impressive, regardless. [20:33:08] Nothing to be sorry about. How about I buy you a round of ale or something? [20:34:56] * Phanos pulls a joint from his pouch, lighting it. "Got me own pain killas." [20:35:18] * Marianysa shrugs. "In the end, we're all alive. So hey, no big deal. That flying thing was still awesome though." [20:35:41] I'll admit that was pretty impressive. [20:36:21] "Just a spell, mon." [20:37:48] Well, it's more the jumping off a bridge and flying to fight the guy. [20:38:11] "Maybe latah I learn make us all fly." [20:42:17] [Session End.] End of #Sharn buffer Wed Feb 27 20:44:51 2008
