Once More, With Feeling
(12/09/09 12:29:52) Taurus II entered the room.
(12/09/09 12:29:52) Dakkareth entered the room.
(12/09/09 12:29:52) Cowboy Energy entered the room.
(12/09/09 12:29:52) Andrensath entered the room.
(12/09/09 12:30:10) Cowboy Energy: I will be right back
(12/09/09 12:30:26) Taurus II: okay, while we're waiting for Cowboy, do we want to include Sunrunner in this?
(12/09/09 12:30:53) Cowboy Energy: I'm here
(12/09/09 12:31:00) Cowboy Energy: Oh wait...I'm an idiot XFD
(12/09/09 12:31:05) Cowboy Energy: brb for serious
(12/09/09 12:31:11) Dakkareth: Does anyone know a contact for Lost_Arts?
(12/09/09 12:31:13) Andrensath: Probably. Allows for the various NPCs to chip in with stuff.
(12/09/09 12:31:28) Andrensath: Not me.
(12/09/09 12:31:48) Cowboy Energy: I'm back
(12/09/09 12:32:53) Taurus II: *sends Lost_Arts a PM*
(12/09/09 12:33:09) Dakkareth: did that already ;)
(12/09/09 12:33:32) Andrensath: And I just posted in the OOC thread. Poor him.8-)
(12/09/09 12:33:36) Taurus II: yeah
(12/09/09 12:35:34) Cowboy Energy: I....STAND ALONE
(12/09/09 12:35:47) Cowboy Energy: somethingsomethingsomething and something soooomething
(12/09/09 12:35:54) Dakkareth: o_O
(12/09/09 12:36:14) ***Andrensath blinks
(12/09/09 12:36:16) Taurus II: *pokes Sunrunner to accept the invite*
(12/09/09 12:36:23) Cowboy Energy: Just trying to remember a song
(12/09/09 12:36:58) Cowboy Energy: That emo one from that Prince of Persia game.
(12/09/09 12:37:10) Cowboy Energy: Warrior Within. Man that game had a tiny soundtrack
(12/09/09 12:37:35) Dakkareth: Only played that once. Don't remember any songs.
(12/09/09 12:37:42) Cowboy Energy: It was in the commercial
(12/09/09 12:38:14) Sunrunner entered the room.
(12/09/09 12:38:14) Sunrunner left the room.
(12/09/09 12:38:22) Andrensath: Only versions of Prince of Persia I ever really liked were the old sidescrollers.
(12/09/09 12:38:24) Dakkareth: huh
(12/09/09 12:38:28) Andrensath: And that was weird.
(12/09/09 12:38:40) Cowboy Energy: What was?
(12/09/09 12:38:42) Sunrunner left the room.
(12/09/09 12:38:46) Taurus II: it was an accident, I think
(12/09/09 12:39:03) Andrensath: How'd he leave it without re-entering?
(12/09/09 12:39:04) Sunrunner entered the room.
(12/09/09 12:39:06) Cowboy Energy: ah
(12/09/09 12:39:08) Dakkareth: He join, then left, then left again? If he joins now he won't be here.
(12/09/09 12:39:11) Sunrunner: There we go.
(12/09/09 12:39:14) Cowboy Energy: He signed out temporarily
(12/09/09 12:39:33) Andrensath: His connection probably burped.
(12/09/09 12:39:39) Sunrunner: Ok. So what horrible things are we doing today? ^^
(12/09/09 12:39:40) Cowboy Energy: hate when that happens.
(12/09/09 12:40:00) Taurus II: we're having a big discussion about what just happened with Salamander
(12/09/09 12:40:06) Cowboy Energy: Well...me and Corvid investigated the scene and pretty much confirmed what everyone though.
(12/09/09 12:40:08) Cowboy Energy: *thought.
(12/09/09 12:40:12) Taurus II: as our characters
(12/09/09 12:40:30) Cowboy Energy: It was something inside her, not something external.
(12/09/09 12:40:35) Andrensath: Hm. Do we want to invite Myll to join us?
(12/09/09 12:40:43) Taurus II: yeah.
(12/09/09 12:40:59) Taurus II: And if Lost_Arts gets back to us, him too
(12/09/09 12:41:01) Cowboy Energy: So where do we go from there?
(12/09/09 12:41:10) Dakkareth: That character's in a different scene in the thread, but no reason there can't be a bit of time shift, so ...
(12/09/09 12:41:24) Dakkareth: fluid narrative time!
(12/09/09 12:41:29) ***Andrensath nods.
(12/09/09 12:41:47) Cowboy Energy: Where do we go from here conversation-wise, I mean.
(12/09/09 12:41:53) Cowboy Energy: There's nothing we can really do about it right now.
(12/09/09 12:41:59) Andrensath: Anyway, Myll's AIM ID is, surprisingly, enough, Myllinnia.
(12/09/09 12:42:14) ***Andrensath wishes he had invite functionality on his client.
(12/09/09 12:42:28) Myllinnia entered the room.
(12/09/09 12:42:28) Taurus II: I think the idea will be that Crow shares with everyone what he found out, Dhiren shares his eyewitness testimony, and we talk about it
(12/09/09 12:42:35) Taurus II: welcome
(12/09/09 12:42:49) Myllinnia: Hi hi. ^^
(12/09/09 12:42:50) Cowboy Energy: Well I just said it.
(12/09/09 12:42:58) Cowboy Energy: Hello : )
(12/09/09 12:43:03) Andrensath: Hi, Myll.
(12/09/09 12:43:14) Myllinnia: Just catching up on the threads XD
(12/09/09 12:43:31) Cowboy Energy: *ahem* Crow sat at the campfire and spoke to them all, looking straight ahead into the glowing embers.
(12/09/09 12:43:57) Andrensath: So we're skipping to the next night, then?
(12/09/09 12:44:20) Dakkareth: (It was evening as I recall)
(12/09/09 12:44:21) Taurus II: (It was evening when it happened, I assume he means later on that same day)
(12/09/09 12:44:24) Cowboy Energy: *shrug* It really didn't take Corvid and Crow long to check it out.
(12/09/09 12:44:53) Cowboy Energy: Sorcerer's Sight and 30 Awareness Successes later, and bam you've figured out everything.
(12/09/09 12:45:19) Dakkareth: (so, enlighten us IC ;) )
(12/09/09 12:45:24) Andrensath: (Okay. Just making sure, cause if we're not someone would have to get Silveria, Solitary, etc out of their tent)
(12/09/09 12:45:55) Cowboy Energy: Anyway, "The Lunar, Salamander, me and Corvid looked through the scene, tried to see if there was anything we could examine, some trail we could find. Cause that's how we've always worked, find some new trail, follow it, then find another trail there and so on."
(12/09/09 12:46:06) Cowboy Energy: Corvid got Silveria and co. out of the tent
(12/09/09 12:46:11) Cowboy Energy: With his raucous cawing and foul mouth.
(12/09/09 12:47:28) Cowboy Energy: :3
(12/09/09 12:47:41) Andrensath: (Okay) "Yeah? And?" Solitary asks.
(12/09/09 12:48:01) Cowboy Energy: "Well, there's nothing there. It was something inside of her, as Corvid said."
(12/09/09 12:48:29) Cowboy Energy: "It was something pre-existing. The Lunar Essence in the tattoos was" He starts to make some hand gestures to figure out how to put it
(12/09/09 12:48:35) Andrensath: Solitary blinks. "He did? When?"
(12/09/09 12:48:43) Myllinnia: "Inside," Silveria wonders nearly to herself.
(12/09/09 12:48:47) Cowboy Energy: "Just inverted suddenly. Like something flicked a lever.
(12/09/09 12:49:12) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) "Wasn't she a necromancer?"
(12/09/09 12:49:14) Cowboy Energy: "He didn't need to do much," Crow said to Solitary, "He can read the essence anywhere just by looking at it.
(12/09/09 12:49:15) Dakkareth: Nuwa sits by the fire with a cup of tea, having passed on Ziyad's fine spirits. "Anshu said, the Neverborn had something to do with it," she adds to the discussion.
(12/09/09 12:49:32) Cowboy Energy: "Anyway, we don't think it had something to do with her tattoos, exactly."
(12/09/09 12:49:44) Andrensath: "So not someone experimenting with sorcery, then?" Antonee says.
(12/09/09 12:50:08) Cowboy Energy: Crow rolls some tabacco around some smoking paper and lights it on the fire, then begins to smoke it.
(12/09/09 12:50:13) Dakkareth: "That he tried to touch their minds and they touched him back. And Salamander through him. That was what he thought happened."
(12/09/09 12:50:24) Cowboy Energy: I mean smoking paper around tabbacoo
(12/09/09 12:50:47) Andrensath: (And Antonee would very definitely have accepted Ziyad's spirits. Intimacy to alcohol FTW.)
(12/09/09 12:50:48) Cowboy Energy: "You'd think it'd be easier just to turn Anshu inside-out instead."
(12/09/09 12:50:58) Taurus II: "I know she was a sorcerer, but I don't know if she was a necromancer too," Dhiren says.
(12/09/09 12:51:05) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) "Possibly. Depends on how much attention he grabbed. She may have been the easier target."
(12/09/09 12:51:43) Cowboy Energy: "I guess there's no way to tell now." Crow said, blowing out a stream of smoke.
(12/09/09 12:51:44) Dakkareth: "She did do that thing with the glyph that did something to the bones. Was that necromancy?"
(12/09/09 12:52:06) Cowboy Energy: "If Anshu hadn't...well, eliminated the body, it might've been easier to examine what had happened.
(12/09/09 12:52:07) Andrensath: "Wait, what thing with what glyph?"
(12/09/09 12:52:42) Dakkareth: Nuwa shrugs. "Back in Nexus, when we met the first of the Mask's Deathknights. That was her, wasn't it?"
(12/09/09 12:52:49) Dakkareth: (or am I misremembering OOC?)
(12/09/09 12:53:06) Dakkareth: (Bone Puppet Dance on that Abyssal, that was Salamander, right?)
(12/09/09 12:53:07) Taurus II: ((She did cast it, yes. I'm trying to remember if Dhiren and Nuwa were present for it)
(12/09/09 12:53:11) Cowboy Energy: Crow shook his head. "Nexus. Now there was a hell of a clusterfuck."
(12/09/09 12:53:34) Andrensath: (Ok. My character wasn't present, so I skipped that.)
(12/09/09 12:53:43) Dakkareth: (they left after he was immobilized by it, reasoning that the others could take care of him after that)
(12/09/09 12:53:58) Myllinnia: Silveria nods silently at that.
(12/09/09 12:54:03) Cowboy Energy: He looked at Anshu. "Anshu, next time you might want to keep a body around instead of just doing whatever it was you did."
(12/09/09 12:54:10) Taurus II: "If that was a necromancy spell, and she was a necromancer, maybe that's why they picked her to twist instead of Anshu?"
(12/09/09 12:54:34) Cowboy Energy: "I don't suppose she could be a ghost now, could she?" Crow asked.
(12/09/09 12:54:47) Andrensath: "Or, you know, maybe it might not be a good idea to keep around something the Neverborn twisted?" Antonee says rather pointedly.
(12/09/09 12:54:47) Cowboy Energy: "Might do to ask her herself."
(12/09/09 12:55:02) Dakkareth: Nuwa sighs at the mentioning of the Nexus catastrophe. "Even if we had not been caught by surprise. Even if we had known each other ... I'm not sure we could have changed anything.
(12/09/09 12:55:19) Cowboy Energy: "It's worth it, despite the danger"
(12/09/09 12:55:31) Dakkareth: "A ghost? No. The Zenith send the soul directly back into the cycle of reincarnation."
(12/09/09 12:55:48) Cowboy Energy: "If we didn't dare keep something around because an enemy used it, we'd still be throwing rocks at each other."
