Dawn of the Third Age/IC Logs/Brazen Sand and Wanderer Meet

A massive beast slammed down out of the sky in front of Wandering and Snow, looking insulted.
"YOU LEFT WITHOUT ME, YOU JERKS!"

Muttley says:

"Excuse me? and you are?" Wandering stepped back  and looke my at the beast

Jordan says:

(looke my?)

Muttley says:

(Looked up, old keyboard)

Jordan says:

(Ah okay).
The monster was as tall as a Warstrider, with great leathery wings and a skin that shifted and moved like lava that had been forced into a single shape, slowly changing colour periodically
He drew himself up for maximum effect. "I am BRAZEN SAND!" He roared in a very loud and attention-grabbing manner. "THE GREENFIRE KING OF GEM...until this whole thing is fixed, and then I'm just Brazen Sand." He added quickly as an aside
"WHO ARE YOU, STEWARD OF LUNA!"

Muttley says:

"Wandering Drunken Scholar" she replied a strange feeling coming over her as she looked up at the beast "and I'm here to help save you city it seems" she added in a off handed manner. "So it would help if you don't shout"

Jordan says:

"WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THAT?! WE'RE OUT IN THE OPEN!" He retorted, annoyed at always having to speak quietly around other Exalts.

Muttley says:

"Oh? You like to shout?" Wandering replied slightly surprised "Well carry on then I suppose just don't expect me to join in"

Jordan says:

Brazen also felt an odd connection with this Lunar, although he didn't really understand it and wasn't that focusd.
...That was a surprise for him. "IT'S MY NORMAL VOLUME, BUT I'M GLAD THAT SOMEONE HERE HAS SOME MANNERS!" He said, shooting a look at Snow.

Muttley says:

Wandering shrugs "Far be it for me to tell someone what to do, unless its medically related of course" she glances up at Brazen "Tell me have we met before? you seem somewhat familer"

Jordan says:

Brazen gave a very self-satisfied look. "WHY, EVERYONE REMEMBERS THE GREENFIRE KING! MY MIGHT AND MY HEROIC QUALITIES AND ACTIONS ARE KNOWN THROUGHOUT CREATION!"
(brb, just a bit)

Muttley says:

(Kk)

Jordan says:

(back)
"ALTHOUGH...YOU DO SEEM FAMILIAR..." Brazen bent down on all fours, his limbs uniquely adapted to doing so, and looked at her closely, a third eye on his forehead revealing a vortex of blazing multi-coloured fire.

Muttley says:

"Well I'm sure I'd remember running into someone as large as you friend Brazen" replied Wandering trying to not flinch from Brazens 3rd eye "Tell me how did you come to be such a size?" *Over the Link Inquisitive curiosity*

Jordan says:

*hesitation-suspicion-hope(?)-surprise* "FRIEND?...YOU AREN'T GOING TO CALL ME AN ABOMINATION, THEN?" He replied, ignoring her first question.

Muttley says:

She shrugs "That would seem rather harsh on a first meeting, besides it would feel... well wrong."

Jordan says:

It would have been said cautiously, but that concept no longer had much hold upon Brazen's consciousness.
"I...I AM A TITAN." He said...*strangeness-hesitation* "FORMERLY ONE OF THE AGENTS OF THE RECLAMATION. I HAVE CHANGED MY BODY AND MY SOUL SO AS TO BETTER MYSELF." He said quickly, as if not wanting her to change her mind and somehow hurt him as well (although the concept was quite ridiculous, thought Brazen)

Muttley says:

"Reclamation?" *Confusion... understanding* "You are one of those that where called Infernal? A servant of the Yozi? yet you speak in the past tense. You turned your back on them"

Jordan says:

Brazen sat down with both his arms folded on the ground, like a tiger. "OF COURSE. I OWED THEM NOTHING, MY POWER WAS MY OWN...EVENTUALLY I LEARNED THAT MY TRUE POWER COULD BE USED COMPASSIONATELY...MY TRUE POWER WAS COMPASSION." He said, oddly patient. "NOW WHAT ARE YOU, STEWARD? HOW DID YOU KNOW TO COME HERE?"
"A DRUNK, YOU SAID? YOU MIGHT GET HURT HERE, MY CITY...MY PEOPLE, THOSE BASTARDS INFECTED THEM WITH THE PLAGUE!"

Muttley says:

"I was sent" she said simply before elaborating "I was traveling near by and recived a message from the delibertive. It seems you have a problem with a plague as I understand it, being the wonderful healer that I am, I am hear to help"

Jordan says:

"A HEALER? EXCELLENT! YOU WILL HELP US!"

Muttley says:

"That is the plan Friend Brazen"

Jordan says:

(what was Wanderer's former incarnation?)
"...PERHAPS WE HAVE MET BEFORE...BUT I WOULD REMEMBER YOU...WERE YOU IN A DIFFERENT SHAPE?" He asked.

Muttley says:

(Name or Gender? I'm thinking Appius, male)

Jordan says:

(Cool. Oh wait, First Age incarnation, I should say, since Brazen's shard had been out of circulation until it was Infernalized)

Muttley says:

"Perhaps I've worn many shapes. It is what I am after all a chosen of many faced Lunar, I can be little else
(Tibera, Female, Full-moon. A strong protecter who stood by brazens side. Threw herself into the ambush that came for them to give him time to escape (if that works for you))

Jordan says:

(Awesome)
He stared into Wanderer, and saw some kind of lure in there, an essence wavelength that called to something deep inside his own heart, changed and not quite human as it was...
His third eye widened..."YOU...I CAN..."
His first age memories, left there as detritus by the Ebon Dragon, were usually just a blur of shattered vignettes without any sense of order or really anything he could relate to...but now...he saw strips of someone like her
and someone shining like the Sun...he was watching them from that man's eyes...and he was glorious, and Brazen felt a brief quickly-discarded pang that he could never be that man...but he recognized that same essence
...oh crap
"YOU...I *DO* REMEMBER YOU!" He said in surprise, darting back a bit as if in fear.

Muttley says:

(did Brazen run or fight when Tiera tried to buy him time?)

Jordan says:

(He tried to fight, of course)

Muttley says:

Wandering had only had the briefest dreams of her previous life the rarest memory that could well be a dream. But this time she saw something solid almost real. A sudden attack, fear and pain, then determination. "RUN, DAMN YOU RUN"

Jordan says:

His memory returns as well. "No! I can't! I'm a fucking hero, and we always stay together! That's how it IS!" 
(They're not in each other's memories, just syncing up)

Muttley says:

"I'm you mate. This is who I am and what I do" she yelled back and then lept into the fray "Come on you bastards, If this is my end I'll send you to pave my way"

Jordan says:

"No! I'M your mate! I'm nothing without you! Ever since we Exalted together, we've fought as one. If you die, so I will I. Let us do this together, one last time!"
He followed her as well, knocking aside Terrestrials like bowling bins, and smashing a brilliantly made stained-glass window of Sol Invictus in the process.
(They're basically experiencing this right now, right?)
(I mean mentally)

Muttley says:

(yeah a quick flash of shared memory)
A throaty chuckle "Damn it, fine lets do it then. And when we reincarnate. You better find me, I won't forgive you otherwise" She laughed and dance among their attackers, till she was struck by a blow from behind that periced her through

Jordan says:

Brazen cried tears of boiling pitch in the desert...
"NOOOOOOO!" He cries, seeing his love die before his eyes...and then feeling the same spears pierce him, but not caring any longer. His heart had already been torn out.

Muttley says:

She turned one last time to face the man that had been Brazen "I love you" Wandering snapped back to reality and looked at him in the present "You? I saw something. I've never had memories from before" *uncertiany, sadness, joy* "Took you long enough to find me"

Jordan says:

Brazen snapped back as if struck by her last words.
*Shame-hope-joy-relief-fear* "you...saved me?" he said hesitatingly, touching her shoulder with one claw, as if afraid that she would disappear at any moment.
(a talon could probably cover her entire shoulder)

Muttley says:

"I don't remeber much" she said sadly knowing that she should fear the size of the talon and what was before her "I tired I think"

Jordan says:

"Only you..." Brazen said. "I have no idea what to do. I was supposed to be the one protecting you, and I failed. How can you still feel anything for me?"

Muttley says:

"Because your my mate" Wandering replied rasing a hand hestiatly to the massive talon and clasping it "No matter what form you wear, or what has been done to you. That is still true" 

Jordan says:

The tears flowed freely now. "You know I can never be the man I used to be." He said, feeling extremely uncharacteristic self-doubt.

Muttley says:

Wandering feels something dampen her own face, tears? but she hadn't cried since she had exalted she had promised her self she wouldn't. "Perhaps so, but you can be something new, perhaps better than you where before" she looked up at him and smiled uncertianly "That we are togther is enough" 

Jordan says:

"I swear I will be." Brazen promised, and drew her to his chest, holding her tightly to himself.
He was warm, but his skin didn't hurt.
(You, I mean. It's not actually lava, obviously)

Muttley says:

*Surprise-understanding* "So your still going to be the big damn hero?" Wandering accepted the sudden show off affection. "Well then perhaps we should get to your city and you can show me whats going on" 

Jordan says:

Brazen snorted *affection-relief-happiness-surprise* "Of course! I'm ALWAYS a big damn hero! And together we are going to cure the FUCK out of Gem!"
He said happily
(Want to do a jumping free-frame high-five?)

Muttley says:

(Free-frame?)

Jordan says:

(freeze-frame!)

Muttley says:

(Sure then, she would do it caught in the moment. Be sheepish afterwords)

Jordan says:

(Yaaay!)
Driven, perhaps, by some shard of First-Age memory, Brazen jumped up in the air with his massive taloned hand outstretched

Muttley says:

Wandering reacted without thinking spurred on by some buried memory and followed suit despite the difference in size.

Jordan says:

Brazen landed on the ground with enough force to cause a minor localized earthquake
He looked completely shamelessly pleased

Muttley says:

Wandering looked around sheepishly "Ahem.. so care to show me your city then Brazen?" *Embaressment*

Jordan says:

"YES! DEFINITELY!" Brazen replied, and began rushing towards Gem. In the lead, naturally.
"Oh by the way, where's Nomoe?"
He almost forgot to ask

Muttley says:

"He had business I think" wandering said as she ran to keep up

Jordan says:

"Nomoe's weird." was Brazen's reply.
(We can stop if you wish. I don't think we have anymore important stuff to say to each other beyond learning about each other.)

Muttley says:

(yay seems to be a good place to finish(
