Start of #Exalted buffer: Tue Aug 01 23:56:52 2006 * It's been a day since the group agreed to stick together. You awaken around... Noon? That seems wrong. It's bright as midday out, a crisp, cold light, and your clock reads it as being just past six in the morning. How odd. * Matt_Wright blinks as he wakes up, looking over to Vincent's sheet. * Hisame wakes up, and blinks at the oddity. She gets dressed, does her morning stuff, and looks outside to see what's going on * Vincent is already awake. He's dressed in somewhat formal clothes, and leaning halfway out the window. Hey... what's going on? Did our clocks short out during the night or something? * Matt_Wright gets out of bed and makes his way to the window. * Karen_C sits up in bed and looks around the room. * Vincent pulls his head back in. He's wearing a top hat, and he taps snow off it out the window. "I'm thinking it goes a little deeper than that, Chienne. * Marta is still somehow asleep. Elena's awake, and working on a Mac laptop. "Morning, lesbians." * Hisame looks over to Jessica to see what her thoughts on this are. ( For some reason, I was briefly dissapointed that Elena wasn't using Strongbad's Tandy. ) * Jessica is currently an umbrella. * Matt_Wright opens his mouth to say something. It might have been "why are you wearing that hat", "why is it snowing in september", or "what the hell is a Chienne?". Instead, he says nothing and looks out the window. * Karen_C reddens, then scowls. "Morning, psychopath." * Outside, visibility is somewhat limited by the storm. None of the walkways have been plowed, and there's already a few inches on the ground. * Karen_C looks out the window. "At least it's not raining..." Are classes cancelled? * Vincent shrugs. "Beats me. You might want to check with someone who cares." Or someone that realizes it's 2006, yeah. * Matt_Wright goes to get dressed. * Hisame frowns, then heads out the door, closing it behind her after being totally ready. * Elena frowns. "I don't mind rain. Snow at the end of summer means wizardry or fuckery. Does abberant have one b or two?" * Matt_Wright digs inside the bottom draw of his dresser to find his winter jacket, not having expected to need it so early. * The hallway is somewhat quiet, save for the meeting room. There seems to be a fair number of kids in it, mostly unaware ones, calmly eating noodles. * Matt_Wright leaves his room as soon as he's dressed. Two. And I don't mind rain until weird people start warning me about it. * Hisame waves to Matt softly. * Karen_C gets dressed. * Matt_Wright nods to Hisame and jogs a bit down the hall to reach her. So... up for a snowball fight in summer? * Hisame shakes her head. Alright. I just hope classes are cancelled. * "Thanks." She types briefly, and then leans down to hook her laptop up to a printer. "Cute girl you've got there." What do we do? ...not much we can do against someone that can change the weather, I'd think. I guess so... * Karen_C says "Thanks." flatly, grabbing her 'winter' jacket as she leaves, which is clearly not going to help much. I just like snow. Reminds me of christmas. So as screwed up as this is, I'm just gonna try and enjoy it. * Matt_Wright shrugs. (Gonk, Karen just left a sleeping Marta with Elena) You hungry? A little bit... (Ohshi) Let's go get some oatmeal or something. * Matt_Wright heads to the (caffeteria?) ( Cafeteria ) * Hisame follows along. (Yeah. The cafeteria's in the basement of the administrative building, a straight shot across the campus from where you are now) (Would it be open now? I dunno where those other kids got their noodles...) (Well, there is, like, a whole room full of kids eating noodles. And the cafeteria wouldn't be fully open, but you could maybe get last night's coffee and cold cereal) (I guess even Karen's brain doesn't work this early) * Hisame looks at the kids eating noodles curiously. "Where would they get those at this time in the morning?" ...I dunno, thought it was weird (...Reading back, it's even creepier, since before Karen leaves Elena comments on Marta being attractive. Honestly I am not at all sure what Elena would do in this situation) * Matt_Wright walks into the room full of kids. ( I dunno. Build modern art aroudn her using common household objects? ) (hahah) Karen looks for people. * The kids don't really notice you. Millicent is working in the kitchen with boxes of noodles and a slightly harrowed expression. She turns a few seconds after you enter. "Spaghetti breakfast." (Karen also narrates her own life :V) Ah... hello, Millicent. * Hisame bows. * She nods. "Morning." Sounds good * Matt_Wright sits down at a table next to one of the other kids. How'sit tate? taste* * The two of you feel a strange tickle in your frontbrain. "It's for the sleepwalkers. Given how Walter told me to make sure they're occupied and not seeing what's happening outside, they think it's great." * Hisame blinks. "Ah, okay." * Meanwhile, the kid who you're speaking do doesn't even register you, being caught up in the taste sensation of a bowl of plain spaghetti without sauce. * Matt_Wright gets up very slowly. * Matt_Wright rubs his forehead. Well I'm not much in the mood for spaghetti. * Matt_Wright leaves the room. (shut up, that was supposed to be an emote. :( Do I find my way here eventually?) Do we know anything about why this has happened? (Sure. Given your sixth sense, you might notice Millicent's telepathy.) * "Peter and the Dioses were sent out to investigate. I lost contact with them a while ago, but I think they're still alright." Ah... where? * Matt_Wright waves to Karen as she approaches from down the hall. * Karen_C waves. "Hey. What's going on?" Uh.. Millicent is controlling a few kids... Ah... I am not completely sure, and neither are the advisors. Peter and the twins went out to try to learn, but Millicent has not yet heard from them (I left the room) (You're still inside talking to millicent) She's keeping them from realizing the freak weather... ( Ah, whoops. ) * Karen_C looks surprised. "I didn't realize it was that freaky. It's different than I'm used to but we're a lot further north from home..." She shrugs. Yeah, but it's still summer. Technically. You, uh.. can go in there. I guess. The kids won't talk.. * Hisame wanders back Ah... do you know where they happened to go? Maybe we should find them (Who is Hisame asking?) ( Milly ) * "I lost track of them about a hundred meters away from the dorms." * Hisame nods. "Could you say in what direction? Maybe we should go look for them." * "Just between here and the administration building. If you could, that'd be a great help. But stay safe." * Hisame nods. * Hisame wanders over to the others. "Ah... Millicent said that Peter and the twins went out to look to see what happened, but she lost contact with them. Maybe we could go look for them? She said she last contacted them between here and the administration building." ...Yeah, let's go. We can stop by the cafeteria too while we're looking.. * Karen_C nods. "I can help look." * Hisame nods, and starts making her way there * Matt_Wright zips up his coat and tucks his hands in his pockets. ( rebooting. BRB. ) * Hisame has quit IRC (Quit: ) * Dicething has quit IRC (Quit: ) * Karen_C zips up her jacket and follows. "What was Millicent doing with those kids, exactly? I felt...something." She got inside their heads.. Did it to me too... she just spoke to me, but it felt funny. She made them focus on loving their noodles. * Matt_Wright opens the door outside and crunches onto the snow. * You head down the main stairs and out the front doors of the dorms. There's no wind, but the air is deeply cold nonetheless, and you can only see a few meters ahead of you. * Dicething has joined #Exalted Hmm. * Karen_C shivers. * Hisame has joined #Exalted ( After this, can someone send me the log or buffer? The dicebot is making logs slightly difficult to deal with after reboots ) hee.. * Matt_Wright smiles, dispite the cold and weirdness of the day. * You notice a few sets of footprints in the snow, leading out. * They're beginning to fade, thanks to fresh snowfall, but they're there. * Matt_Wright follows after the footprints, trying to match his steps into them. * Hisame follows the footprints, paying extra special close attention ... * Hisame blinks, and stops for a sec. Sorry guys, I have to go. ... ah? I just realized I left Marta behind and she needs to know what's going on. * Karen_C runs back to the dorms * Hisame nods. "Okay." We can wait. * Matt_Wright waits around for a bit.... then picks up a handful of snow. Around here, the two... smells, depart from this trail... It is like one person was following the trail twice. But that would be silly. Mmm. * Matt_Wright throws the snow at Hisame's back. Wah! * Matt_Wright downright giggles. * Hisame frowns. * Shortly, Marta and Karen arrive to find Hisame in the aftermath of being hit by snow and Matt doing his best impression of that dog from Duck Hunt. * Karen_C raises an eyebrow. "Having fun?" Heheh..heh.. Sorry. * Matt_Wright tries to wipe the smile off his face. My friends and I used to get in huge snowball fights. We'd build forts and everything. I'm not used to seeing snow in general...certainly not this much. * Karen_C shivers again. Two of the smells left this trail.. * Marta frowns. "Can't you... warm yourself up? Heat is basically making things move, and that's what you do." Well.. we don't know how fast she can move things.. * Karen_C shrugs. "I really can't do anything that precise." ( Hisame could make her warmer. :D ) Besides, you just rub your arms and you warm up the old fashioned way. Moving big things moderately quickly. (Oh god, I _love_ the title screens for the Eureka 7 DVDs. These are, like, the best title screens I've ever seen on a movie) * Hisame looks which way the smells got diverted. * Marta begins heading down the trail indicated by Hisame, rubbing her hands together as she goes. * Karen_C does rub her arms, though. * Hisame moves along. "Are you sure you want to come with us? It may be dangerous." * Marta nods. "If it's dangerous, then I want to be here with Karen." (It's so rare to see an anime that actually keeps their titles consistent, but E7 just changes the clips, which are always awesome, and then they play the most dramatic song from the series.) * Karen_C smiles. * Matt_Wright follows after the girls. * The trail ends at the Kantors. One of them (Alice?) is lying on the ground, unconscious and badly burned. The other (Gert?) is next to her, packing her with snow. When she hears you, she looks up and puts a hand to her belt, but visibly relaxes when she sees who you are. * Hisame gasps. "What happened?" * Karen_C stares, horrified. "Oh no...what happened?" * Gert looks up. "The storm picked up, and we couldn't see our hands in front of us. We got seperated from Peter, and when we came out here, this... woman? She asked, "Where's the girl? Where are you keeping the girl?" And when Alice tried to make a move, she just... breathed fire, and..." Gert trails off and looks down. * Hisame looks over Alice carefully. "We can help get her to the nurse's office. She needs help quickly... and Peter, where did he go?" W-waht the hell.. Breath fire? * Marta holds onto Karen's arm, but stays quiet. Gert continues packing. "I don't know if we could find the nurse's office. Peter's... somewhere else. I'm guessing that if you found us, you can find him." Dom ( Okay, so we need to get Alice to the office, and we need to find Peter. So it looks like we need to split the party up. Opinions? ) Don't you want help moving her? * "I don't know if I should move her." * Karen_C looks at Matt and Hisame. "Can one of you go get the nurse then?" Matt would be better... I am not so fast. Sure, it's in the administration's building, right? * Karen_C nods. "Hisame, you stay here. Matt, you go bring the nurse. Me and Marta will look for Peter." Okay. * "Yeah, the administration building." Alright... * Matt_Wright looks around... (Where's the administration building) * You can't really see anything. THe other trail did lead towards it, though. * Matt_Wright makes his way there. * Karen_C nods to Marta. "Alright, let's go back to the trail." * Marta nods and follows along. * Hisame remains behind and just tries to do what she can to help until Matt comes back with help. * Matt_Wright tries to make his way as quickly as possible. * As you follow the other trail, through snow that's getting to be shin-deep, you find a small clearing in the snow. You see a minotaur, and it looks like its losing its fight against... Well, 'a woman' begins to describe it. * It certainly has feminine form, but its skin is a deep snow white. Its face is long and tapered, with wide eyes shut tight, and a short slit for a mouth on an otherwise flat head. It's wearing a kimono, in silver and blue patterns, and it has vulpine ears, as well as a pair of long, white tails that brush the ground. It dodged around the minotaur, sometimes darting in to jab at it with long, clawlike fingernails. Holy mother of god... (Are we there or is this just Matt?) * Matt_Wright stumbles backwards. (I went alone) (Different path then?) (I thought so) (There were two paths, so unless Matt wandered off into a snowbank, you're also there, Karen) * Karen_C makes a snap decision and steps in front of Marta. She thrusts a hand towards the 'woman', sending a wave of telekinetic force. * Karen broadsides the creature with the telekinetic wave, and knocks it to the ground. The minotaur takes the advantage and rushes at her, throttling her as she lays on the ground. After a brief instant, she blinks away. * The minotaur makes a brief series of gestures, and shrinks back to human size. Peter sits down, catching his breath, looking at the snowfall around the clearing. You alright? ... the.. buh.. ( Matt got the nurse yet? ) What the hell are you, a werebull? (No, Matt fell into the snow) ( Ah. ) (And minotaur and kitsune were in his way) * Peter frowns. "Minotaur. What the fuck is a werebull?" Do you know what that creature wanted? I'm assuming it's the same one that attacked Alice and Gert... (That was the first time Matt saw anything decidedly not-human) * Matt_Wright gets up shakily.. ...It wants Hisame, I'd think. * "It kept asking me about the girl. The Japanese girl that- Yeah, her." That was a kistune, just like her. Yeah, Gert said she wanted to know where "the girl" was. You think she could've just waiting for parent-teacher day. waited* (...I find it funny that Matt can identify a kitsune, which is from a different culture and kind of alien in appearance, but doesn't know that something that's half-man and half-bull is a minotaur) (He has japanese culture, you siad he knew what a kistune was cause he identified Hisame) (And to be fair, minotaurs don't morph into humans.) (He knows what it is, but not what it looks like, especially considering there's a big gap between 'small Japanese girl' and 'creepy foxstrocity') (Multi-tailed, "breaths fire", wearing japanese clothing, he can make the connection) ( Can we argue this later? ) Speaking of Alice, she's badly burned. I need to go get the nurse. Do you know which direction the administration building is? * Peter frowns. "I know where it *SHOULD* be, but I don't think it's here anymore." ...What? ...excuse me? The entire building is gone? Did this...kitsune...she must have created the storm, but she did...something else? * "If it's not gone, then seriously fucking misplaced. I should have reached it about thirty yards ago." Are you sure you're just not lost? I can't see anything in this snow. (not just*) Great, so not only can she breath fire and create storms, she can...teleport? Alter three dimensional space? * "I... don't know. Normally, I have a great sense of direction, but something's wrong here. I mean, beyond the obvious." * Karen_C closes her eyes, concentrating ...We should get back to Hisame. Nearest I figure, if we stop this ice-lady, then the storm stops, and we know she's after Hisame... Although if a thousand-pound minotaur couldn't stop her... * Peter nods, and gets up. As he does, however, the snow begins to stop falling. * Matt_Wright looks up. That's either good or bad.. * "We'd better stop talking and find out, then." He bulls ahead back down the trail, leaving you to follow. * Matt_Wright nods and follows after Peter. * Karen_C stops and follows Peter. * Around you, the snow is melting, and the fog is dissipating. Strange, gnarled trees with light blue leaves are sprouting from the ground. To the east, you can see Hisame. Her chin is cradled in the hand of the fox woman. Crap! * Matt_Wright runs closer, but stops about twenty feet shy of the pair, not really sure what he can do to help.. * Karen_C runs out and stops about 10 feet shy from Hisame. * Hisame seems to be conversing with her in Japanese. She seems to be too shaken up to move. * The fox woman quickly withdraws her hand, and begins shaking it in shock. * Hisame backs off, startled. I don't know what you're saying or what you want with her, but you're HURTING her. Say what you're here to say, but do it peacefully. * The fox woman turns its head, while keeping the rest of its body still, and calls out, in English, "The Kyubi wants her! I'm her collector." Collector? * Karen_C looks at Hisame. "Can you tell me what this about?" (+is) * Matt_Wright looks between them, then Peter. I do not know... this is the first other kitsune I have ever seen... * Peter's stopped in his tracks. He seems somewhat unsure as to what to do. * Hisame trembles a bit. "Kyubi means nine-tail. They are the... best and most legendary." The stories are always about foxes tricking farmers or marrying peasants or playing tricks... unless it is a kyubi. They shape empires and speak with our goddess Inari. Why were you hurting people? Why not just ask her to come? * The fox-woman's eyes seem to tighten slightly, then release. "The girl attacked me. The beast refused to answer me. And I needed a way to find her. I did." Fine, what does the Kyubi _want_ with her. * She shrugs. "It's not my place to ask. I only have the two tails. The Kyubi told Mai who told Ulala who told Blind Qi who told... Anyways, eventually someone told Maya, and I did not know." * Karen_C frowns. "And what if Hisame doesn't want to go?" * The fox-woman shrugs. "I didn't want to come here. But if the Kyubi wants it to happen, it will." And if you leave empty-handed? Wait.. Hisame.. do you want to go? If the kyubi desires, then I must, but.. I am uncertain as to how long I will be gone, or what she wants. Who cares what the Kyubi wants. Do you want to go? * Marta frowns. "That's bullshit. That's monarchic bullshit. You've never even knew she existed before, and you're just going to prance off to forign lands because of a message from the Fox Commander?" ... ultimately, yes. I do not know anything about being a kitsune and what is expected of me, but I do not want to be gone so long as to worry people or miss classes. Perhaps over a vacation, or a weekend, if she would not mind waiting and I could return quickly. * Matt_Wright nods. * Karen_C looks back at the kitsune. "Well? Is this...something we can negotiate about?" * Hisame seems to have calmed down a bit, but watches over Alice worriedly Yeah, we don't want any trouble.. If Hisame can go with you on her terms, then there's no need for any violence. * Maya's strange little slit-mouth curls downwards. "I was told to bring the girl back. All foxes belong to the Kyubi, and I don't believe she will accept any less." * "The question is how you can prevent me from claiming the girl for Kyubi." She begins flexing her hands again. I will go willingly in time. Please do not hurt anyone... You don't believe she will accept any less, but you don't know for sure. * "Nobody lives to their second tail by taking risks with the Kyubi." If you're not willing to let Hisame go on her terms, then I'm going to have to consider this kidnapping, and while I'm against violence, I'll fight you if I have to. Are you sure you can take all of us? Is THAT a risk you can take? ( What day is it? ) * It looks an awful lot like cell division, but the fox-woman begins to split herself, and then the new bodies split a second time. "Given the choice, certainly." (Wednesday) * Hisame shivers and whimpers a bit. She's terribly afraid. Where are the kyubi, and how do you plan on taking me there? Everyone stay close. * Two of the Mayas push Hisame down, and then open their mouths. A rolling wall of flame pours out, engulfing the grove. * Roll initiative. Unless you guys just want to freeform this shit. * Hisame shouts out in Japanese. "Please, I will go! Don't hurt anyone!" (How do I roll init?) ( It's d8 plus your ACV ) d8+9 * Dicething rolls for Karen_C (d8+9) and gets 17. 5 d8+8 * Dicething rolls for Charles (5 d8+8) and gets 16 11 13 16 15. * Karen_C says quietly "Don't get too far from me. I can't protect you if you're not close." d8+4 * Dicething rolls for Charles (d8+4) and gets 8. ( Is Karen able to protect Alice and Gert? ) (Sure, why not) d8+6 * Dicething rolls for Matt_Wright (d8+6) and gets 14. (10m area, not sure if that's radius or diameter) d8+9 * Dicething rolls for Hisame (d8+9) and gets 10. (Sorry, that's 13, used my alternate form ACV) * Karen, your go * Karen_C thrusts a hand at the two Mayas attacking Hisame. 2d8 * Dicething rolls for Karen_C (2d8) and gets 7. (By 2) (Multiple targets, they're all -1 to defend) 2 1d4 * Dicething rolls for Charles (2 1d4) and gets 1 4. 2 2d8 * Dicething rolls for Charles (2 2d8) and gets 9 14. * The telekinetic wave strikes the two Mayas. Well, it strikes *one* of them and knocks her to the ground. It passes through the other with a strange little shimmer. * Good job, Scooby Gang, you just found your culprit * Two of the fake Mayas respond by breathing fire at Karen. 2 2d8 * Dicething rolls for Charles (2 2d8) and gets 10 12. * However, they miss broadly. Being fake will do that to you, I guess. * Matt's turn * Matt_Wright tries to calm himself and drops into a generic martial arts stance. He doesn't look entirely sure of what he's doing as he strikes his palm at one of the Mayas that tried to hit Karen with fire. 2d8-2 * Dicething rolls for Matt_Wright (2d8-2) and gets 6. (Miss by 1) * Matt swings wide. As he misses, one of the Mayas attempts to grab him, while the other goes for his face with her fingernails. 2 2d8 * Dicething rolls for Charles (2 2d8) and gets 10 15. * However, all Mayas continue to be good at absoluely nothing. Hisame? (Heh ^_^;) (When do I roll defense? After they hit?) ( Yeah ) (Sorry, it's been a while) * Hisame just speaks out "Please, be willing to wait..." ( Holding action. Not likely that she'll take actions for a while. ) (Not even to run next to karen?) * Marta picks up a rock from the ground and tosses it at the Maya that Karen knocked down 2d8 * Dicething rolls for Charles (2d8) and gets 14. ( Hm. That could work, but I already called it. ) (The best part about dx is that the stronger the PCs get the worse and worse normal humans are at even simple things :V) Karen? (Heh) * Karen_C thrusts her hand at the apparently real Maya, letting another blast loose. 2d8 * Dicething rolls for Karen_C (2d8) and gets 2. ( That's a crit. So probably enough to drive her off for the time being. ) (Does the telekinesis just fling her really far, or do damage?) ( It's probably a TK punch. ) (*nod*) (I'm loving Karen right now.) * The blast knocks the real Maya off her feet, and the world begins to melt back to normal. The buildings return, leaving you about halfway through the quad, as the trees wither and the extra Mayas evaporate. Maya herself changes back to a young-looking Japanese woman, drifting in and out of consciousness, having banged her head on one of the stone benches. * Karen_C slumps to the ground. "Whew." * Matt_Wright stands up and looks around. * Hisame drags herself up. "What do we do... ?" Should we bring the nurse here or take Alice there? * Things seem to be back to normal. Alice Kantor is no longer burned, though she's still passed out. * Matt_Wright blinks. SHe needs help for her... ... what happened to her burns? Uh.. nevermind... I guess? * Karen_C looks over at Alice, wearily. "Illusion, then." What do we do with two-tails? She could have really hurt her, but she did not... I wasn't suggest we hit her when she's down. suggesting* I'm not so sure her intentions were that...merciful. * Peter speaks up. "The Head's police on things like this is that we keep them to find out how to tune the wards, then ship them back out." He shrugs. "Though if she could trick them in the first place, I'm not sure how good the tuning would do." Ship them? Yeah.. these seals.. Alice WAS harmed, at least in her mind. Can I get a list of stuff they *do* protect from? * Hisame looks over Alice worriedly. Enough to knock her out. And we don't know if she's been harmed further. Do you need help carrying her Peter? * Matt_Wright nods toward Maya. We should probably get her somewhere before she wakes up Or how much it could have done if she hadn't had her illusion disrupted. * "The seals *SHOULD* make anyone the headmaster doesn't want here afraid of the campus. But between this and the dreams on monday..." He lowers his voice. "I don't know how they work, I'm not much of a wizard, but they don't seem that easy to work around. I think someone might need to look at how they really work." Yeah... * He shakes his head. "I've carried fatter girls farther. Thanks for the offer, though." He kneels down and hefts Maya onto a shoulder and heads towards the administrative building. * Hisame nods... Oh, uh.. Peter.. Sorry about the uh.. werebull thing.. Just never saw something as big and scary as you before... * Hisame follows along, writing a short note. "Please make sure she has this with her." * Karen_C pulls herself to her feet. "I'm going too, I'd like some answers about all this. You want to come, Marta?" * Matt_Wright moves over to Gert. Should we take her to the nurse still? * "You know, usually it's girls that say so. But thanks, kid." He pauses and takes the note from Hisame, then heads out again. * Gert shakes her head. "I think she's going to be alright, physically. Right now, I just want to get her back to the dorms." Okay... Do you need some help with that? * Marta frowns. "I'm not sure if I want them knowing how much I know." * Karen_C looks thoughtful. "You may be right." What did you mean by shipping them back out? I don't think there's much harm in that Marta. The Headmaster probably knows you're here already. * Gert nods. "Could you get a blanket or something? Once the spaghetti breakfast is called off, I don't want the sleepwalkers to see me carrying her back. * Matt_Wright nods to Gert. I'll be right back. * Matt_Wright unzips his jacket now that it's not winter, and runs off toward the dorms. * "He might, yeah, but I don't want to tempt fate. I think I'll just head back home and try to make today's school if that's okay." * Karen_C nods. "Okay. You, um, want me to walk back with you?" * Gert looks over to Hisame, sighing and moving her sister so she'll be easier to bundle. "Once we find out how to wall off a creature, we send it back to where it came from. Or at least, that's what protocol says. We haven't done that sort of thing yet." * She smiles. "If you want to walk me back, I won't complain." Okay! ( I'm just scared that the principal is going to put her in a giant hookah and smoke her. :( ) * Matt_Wright returns a short while later with a plain green blanket. * Gert wraps her sister in the blanket, then picks her up and carries her back. "Thanks." (Given how everyone's kind of seperated, do you think now would be a good time to end the session, and leave the meeting for next session?) ( How are we being separated? I'm confused. ) (I don't know about the rest of you but I'm walking Marta home) ( Hisame's just following Peter and following the bigger kitsune. ) (I'm staying on campus, behind these crappy seals) (:P) ( Yeah, good place to end, then ) (http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/photos/santa_barbara_california/images/elephant%20seal%20&%20calf.jpg I would not trust these things to protect me at all) (Did I misspell it?) ( Nah ) (Nah, it's just whenever I think of seals protecting the campus, I like to get actual pictures of seals to accompany it) (heh) (So we're ending?) (Yeah End of #Exalted buffer Tue Aug 01 23:56:52 2006
