Start of #Grove buffer: Tue Aug 01 19:59:48 2006 [19:19:53] * Now talking in #Grove [19:21:28] * It's been five, maybe ten minutes since the others left. Gert's been very quiet since then. Only when the storm stopped did she look away from Alice. [19:22:28] I hope Matt will not take much longer... [19:22:58] * "Mm." [19:23:46] * You hear a soft crunching, of someone coming near. You still can't see well, but they can't be that far off. [19:24:06] Hello? [19:25:40] * "Hello." It's a woman's voice, speaking in Japanese. "I've come for you." [19:26:05] * Hisame blinks, and switches to Japanese. "Who are you?" [19:27:20] What do you want? [19:27:45] * "Call me Maya." The fog begins to fade, as new plant life grows out of the ground. She's a tall, vulpine woman in a blue and silver robe. She walks up and takes your chin in one of her long-fingered hands. "I've been told to collect you." [19:28:02] C-collect? [19:28:42] Why? [19:29:58] Kyubi asks, Kyubi waits, Kyubi demands, and finally Maya listens. She's the one who wants you, and I'm the one who dances. [19:30:33] * Hisame blinks, and her eyes widen. "Kyubi?" [19:32:33] What does she desire of me? [19:34:58] * "She- Ah!" She quickly withdraws her hand, shaking it in shock End of #Grove buffer Tue Aug 01 19:59:48 2006
