Mission Records, Set Two

21:17 <BrilliantRainST> Your carriage rolls through the town, giving you a good view of the ancient buildings that, in many ways, look newer than the modern constructs that have been erected between them.
21:17 <BrilliantRainST> Then, you round a bend and the manse comes into view.
21:18 *Vneef_Vala is looking out the window, noting possible hiding spots, escape routes, and so on.
21:18 <BrilliantRainST> It is glorious to look at, a perfect dome of glistening frost-covered Adamant with four slender towers protruding from it
21:18 *Xuyiko is looking out the window, mind wrapped up in an idle thought the other two girls would probably find boring.
21:20 <Vneef_Vala> "...hmm." Not often, seeing that much adamant in one construction.
21:20 <BrilliantRainST> you reach the front gates and are stopped by a, rather respectful, Realm legionnair
21:20 *Scarlet_Snow affects a disinterested look and clings decorously to Tepet Xuyiko.
21:21 *Xuyiko looks at the other two. "Vala? Inform the legionnaire of my wanting a visit with Laral, please?" she said, completely calm; despite Snow. Mentally though, she was :|.
21:22 *Scarlet_Snow hangs off the Air-Aspect, even as she's careful to not actually touch much.
21:23 <BrilliantRainST> "Please state your buisness Ma'am."
21:24 <Vneef_Vala> ( Sorry, mildly distracted. And typing now. )
21:24 *Xuyiko* Would they need to use false identities for this?
21:24 <Scarlet_Snow> "The mistress wants a visit," Scarlet Snow says, frowning at the Legionnaire. She inhales, to rather considerable effect. "You don't want to keep a lady waiting, now do you?"
21:25 *>Xuyiko<* potentially. the satrap hasn't been on the blessed isle in ten years, but you never know
21:25 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...I was typing, and getting a bit of info from Xuyiko T_T )
21:25 *Xuyiko* But going as some random Tepet wouldn't be a problem?
21:25 *>Xuyiko<* it shouldn't be a problem
21:25 <Xuyiko> (My fault. I trusted him to remember things from a week ago.)
21:26 <Scarlet_Snow> (?)
21:26 <Xuyiko> (He doesn't have the best memory. I trusted him to remember what our business was.)
21:27 *Vneef_Vala bows her head, looking properly submissive. Delegation? She hadn't been expecting that... but no worry. She gives Snow a scolding look at her impulsiveness. "Milady Tepet Xachiro is passing through this fine Satrapy on her way to business elsewhere, and wishes to pay the honored Satrap a visit."
21:34 <BrilliantRainST> "Very good, Milady." he waves the doors open
21:34 *Xuyiko ruffles Snow's hair slightly as she chuckles. "Bit impatient there, Snow?" She looks at the legionaire. "She's a bit new, you see. Pay her no mind."
21:35 *Scarlet_Snow dips her head, her cheeks flushing a bright red as she turns her face in toward Xuyiko's shoulder, almost hiding against the other woman.
21:36 <BrilliantRainST> After passing through the gates and the tower's arch, you find yourselves in a courtyard. it looks something like a large rock garden with a massive fountain in the center. There are some troops drilling off on the other side
21:37 *Xuyiko asks in a low voice "Shall we find the Satrap, then?" In an even lower voice "Snow, you don't have to cling so tight..."
21:38 *Scarlet_Snow slowly looks up and meets Xuyiko's eyes. Slowly, very slowly, she smiles once more. Then she deliberately loosens her grip and gives the mistress an inch of space.
21:39 <Xuyiko> "..."
21:39 *Xuyiko gets out from under Snow, and exits the carriage. "Right. Let's go."
21:40 <Vneef_Vala> "Snow..." A note of warning creeps into Vala's voice - it would add quite a lot of versimilitude for the senior maid to administer some sort of punishment to the junior while they were there...
21:40 <Vneef_Vala> She quickly opens the door for Xuyiko, and returns the favor from earlier to Snow as well.
21:41 <Xuyiko> "Thank you, Vala." She looks around for a servant or guard of some sort.
21:41 *Scarlet_Snow visibly pales, somehow, licks her lips nervously and backs off until it's time to exit.
21:42 <BrilliantRainST> Looking around more fully, you discover that you are actually under the giant adamant shell. There appear to be some upper levels situated higher up in the dome, that can be reached from four staircases situated on the edges of the courtyard
21:45 *Vneef_Vala waits at Xachiro's side. As the Dragon of the group, it falls to her to provide direction.
21:45 *Vneef_Vala* Yes to compassion, though it turned out to be irrelevant.
21:46 *Xuyiko shrugs, and takes one of the staircases. "I wonder where our good host would be. Do you, Snow?"
21:48 <Scarlet_Snow> "Of course, mistress," Snow says, meekly clasping her hands together and still looking a bit chastised.
21:49 *Xuyiko continues walking after reaching the top of the stairs, her eyes forward. "And you, Vala?"
21:50 <Vneef_Vala> "...in truth, I somewhat hope we shall not find him immediately, milady. This place is beautiful; I'm rather admiring the view."
21:51 <Xuyiko> "Yes, it really is. But we have business to conduct. Are both of you ready?"
21:51 <Scarlet_Snow> "Of course, mistress!"
21:52 <BrilliantRainST> It is something like being inside a soap bubble. The Sun filters therough the adamant, diffusing the light and leaving blue tinged rainbows everywhere
21:52 <Vneef_Vala> "Yes, milady."
21:53 *Scarlet_Snow looks suitably distracted by the light.
21:54 *Xuyiko also seems a bit distracted. "Wow, I wonder how he got such a nice effect..."
21:55 <BrilliantRainST> "I'm not entirely sure, but I have been studying it during my time here and I hope I will figure it out before I leave."
21:56 <Xuyiko> (Where did that come from?)
21:56 <BrilliantRainST> coming down the staircase you are on is the Satrap. He looks quite genuinely pleased to see all of you and your target has a quite pleasent smile on his face
21:57 *Vneef_Vala glances up, notes that that /must/ be the Satrap - look at his regal bearing! - and bows her head respectfully.
21:58 *Xuyiko jumps slightly. "Oh, hello. I am Tepet Xachiro. These are my two handmaidens. We were crossing though your Satrapy (or whatever it's called), and I wanted to pay you a visit. Snow here," she motions to Snow, "wanted to meet you too, and Vala asked to come to keep her in line. She's new."
21:59 <Scarlet_Snow> "Hello, my Lord," Snow says, curtsying demurely but giving the Dynast a decidedly indiscreet look of interest.
21:59 <BrilliantRainST> "Oh? I was not aware my reputation had gotten around?"
21:59 <Xuyiko> "I like to keep up on current events."
22:00 <Scarlet_Snow> "Your work with the bandits of this area is inspiring, my Lord," Snow says in a breathy, excited voice.
22:01 <Vneef_Vala> "Milord." Vala gives a curtsy as well, noting Snow's look of interest, and letting her hold it just a moment before reaching over with one hand to tilt Snow's head /down/, because servants aren't supposed to look at nobility like that.
22:01 <BrilliantRainST> "Thank you."
22:01 *Scarlet_Snow 's cheeks flush with embarrassment at the correction and she obeys Vala's direction.
22:02 <BrilliantRainST> "Come, we shall find rooms for you. I haven't been back home in quite awhile, so I am very badly out of date on a number of things. I hope you will do me the honor of catching me up?"
22:03 *Scarlet_Snow falls into step beside her mistress.
22:04 *Xuyiko shakes her head. "Perhaps over a drink?"
22:04 *Vneef_Vala takes her standard position on Xachiro's other side, ready to aid her mistress... or correct her coworker.
22:09 <BrilliantRainST> He leads the way down the stairs, brushing up against Vala as he passes by the group "There is a lovely suite in the East tower that should suit you fine, my dear. It should have sufficent space for your hand maidens as well."
22:10 <Xuyiko> "I'm sure we could manage with a small room."
22:10 <Vneef_Vala> Vala blushes just a little with surprise, but keeps her eyes down.
22:12 <BrilliantRainST> "Nonsense! I would never dream of insulting you with a tiny room. I would be a laughing stock!" he holds his had to his head in mock drama
22:12 *Scarlet_Snow shooks Vala an angry look and tries to catch Ragara Laral's attention...which is hard to do when she's not supposed to meet his eyes.
22:12 *Xuyiko chuckles slightly. "If you insist, I will excuse it. Oh whatever will I do?" she asks sarcastically. "They get oh so terribly lonly at night."
22:13 <Vneef_Vala> ( That made me laugh, and I'm not quite sure why. )
22:13 <Xuyiko> (Because it was supposed to, maybe. I dunno.)
22:14 *Scarlet_Snow takes a step back, so Laral can still see her but the other two women can't so easily. Then she casts smoldering eyes at the Ragara, points at Vala as well and nods.
22:16 <BrilliantRainST> "I'm sure we can come to some arrangement."
22:16 <Xuyiko> "Splendid. Now, shall we discuss matters a bit more formally then just on your lovely staircase?"
22:19 *Vneef_Vala glances over her shoulder at Snow for just a moment - long enough to raise an eyebrow at the junior maid's frivolous behavior.
22:19 <BrilliantRainST> "Oh, of course. How rude of me." He leads you into the eastern tower and up to the top floor, pointing out interesting buits of architechture as he does so. The top floor of this tower sems to have been divided up into a nice apartment, complete with an excellent bathroom, large bedroom, walk in closet and an ajoining chamber for the hand maidens
22:20 *Scarlet_Snow casts many admiring looks over the accommodations, taking pains to 'ignore' the chastising look Vala gives her.
22:20 *Xuyiko makes appropriate responses to the bits of architecture. Most are completely true, she finds this stuff interesting. When they get to the top of the tower, she takes one look at it. "Your guest room is as well furnished as my own. Commendable. This will make for a perfect room."
22:22 *Vneef_Vala does look over the architecture, in a more subdued manner than her impulsive friend, but still with the occasional "oooh" of admiration. And when they arrive at their room, she curtsies at the Satrap again. "Thank you very much for the accomodations, milord."
22:26 <Scarlet_Snow> "Thank you indeed, milord," Scarlet Snow says, stepping up beside Vala. She catches Ragara Laral's eyes and activates her Warm-Faced Seduction Style.
22:27 <Scarlet_Snow> "Is there any way we can repay you?" she says, with a look and words laced with the essence of seduction. Did the fastenings of her dress front just loosen a little?
22:28 <Xuyiko> (No. They loosened a lot. They were loosened a little to begin with.)
22:28 <BrilliantRainST> "It is truly nothing. Oh yes, the doors will lock automatically if you say the word 'kido.' Shall I leave you to get settled or would you prefer to have dinner?"
22:28 *Xuyiko look at the two handmaidens. "Are either of you hungry?"
22:28 <BrilliantRainST> (make your seduction roll and get a +1 for the stunt)
22:30 <Vneef_Vala> "Snow!" Vala looks over at her ally with a deep blush.
22:31 *Xuyiko does not seem to notice her handmaiden's flirting. Or maybe she does, and is just used to it. Snow is such a slut.
22:35 <BrilliantRainST> He has certainly taken notice of Snow now. A light has sparked in his eyes.
22:36 <BrilliantRainST> "Would all of you like to enjoy dinner with me in my rooms?"
22:36 <Xuyiko> "We'd be honored to. Right?"
22:37 *Vneef_Vala blushes far more brightly, and makes a couple failed attempts at stuttering out an answer before finally getting out a "...yes, milord, milady, honored." She's feeling rather out of her element. Or at least, doing a very good job at pretending that she is.
22:41 <BrilliantRainST> "Then it is settled. I'll have the servants carry your things up here, while we eat."
22:42 <Xuyiko> "I've come lightly prepared. It should not take long, expecially for the large amounts of servants a place this fine must have."
22:42 *Scarlet_Snow casts more smoldering looks at the Dynast until she notices Xuyiko looking at her, causing her to blush and duck her head submissively.
22:43 *Vneef_Vala is staring straight at her feet. Or she would be, if her bust weren't in the way. Her lovely, lovely bust.
22:43 *Xuyiko takes a step over to Snow, and raises her chin in her hand. She smiles. "Something wrong, dear?"
22:44 <Xuyiko> (So she's staring at her boobs instead? Classy. Aizen must really want to get his rape on now.)
22:44 <Vneef_Vala> ( That's the POINT, Xachiro. )
22:44 <BrilliantRainST> (you have no idea)
22:44 <Scarlet_Snow> "I-I didn't mean to step out of place, mistress."
22:44 *Xuyiko lets go of her chin. "Step out of place? How so?"
22:45 *Vneef_Vala leans over and whispers something to milady Xuyiko, very very quietly.
22:46 *Xuyiko laughs. "I see. No worries."
22:46 <Vneef_Vala> ...though not so quietly that the Satrap would have /too/ much trouble overhearing.
22:46 *Vneef_Vala* "Milady, I think Snow was trying to make... inappropriate advances..."
22:47 <BrilliantRainST> Aside from a certain look in his eyes, your host seems to have taken no notice of the inappropreate actions if your servants
22:48 *Vneef_Vala continues to blush. How... terribly /awkward/...
22:50 <Xuyiko> "Anyway! Shall we go off to eat?"
22:51 *Scarlet_Snow nods emphatically, still standing submissively.
22:52 *Vneef_Vala nods as well, her compared submissiveness making Snow look like... well, look like the tramp she's been acting like.
22:52 <BrilliantRainST> "Come and follow me." He leads you back out, stopping momentarily to speak with one of the servants to see that your luggage is dealt with, before leading you back up a different staircase. "You must excuse me, but could all of you stand back? I know it is most tiresome, but the House insists I maintain secrecy."
22:52 *Xuyiko* Is activating the Gem of surface thoughts ability noticible?
22:53 *Vneef_Vala does so, the blush having faded somewhat during the walk.
22:56 *Scarlet_Snow also stands back...and runs a single red-painted fingernail up Xuyiko's spine when no one's looking.
22:56 *Xuyiko shivers again, knocking her hand away while Laral wasn't looking.
22:57 *>Xuyiko<* not really, but your target might notice if you use it
22:57 *Xuyiko* How so?
22:58 *>Xuyiko<* I'm not sure, but it says that a target can turn it into a contested roll if he suspects something
22:58 *Xuyiko* Ah, but does he?
22:58 *Scarlet_Snow lifts her finger to her lips and makes a soft but distinct sound of suction around it as she places the tip in her mouth.
22:59 *Scarlet_Snow sighs contentedly and otherwise waits for Ragara Laral to finish.
22:59 *>Xuyiko<* I'm not entirely sure. He might notice the wind whistling around his head though
22:59 *Vneef_Vala gives Snow a deathglare, full of promises of interesting punishments, none of which are kinky in the least
23:00 <Vneef_Vala> It only lasts a moment, though
23:00 <Xuyiko> (I think Snow is Too Kinky To Torture...)
23:01 <Vneef_Vala> ( Who would know how to get past that little inconvenience better than I? )
23:01 <Xuyiko> (...Fair enough...(
23:02 *>Xuyiko<* was that botch on your roll to activate the gem?
23:03 *Scarlet_Snow smiles coolly at Vala and passes the time quickly redoing the end of her long red braid.
23:03 *Xuyiko* Hearing the password.
23:06 *>Scarlet_Snow<* you over hear him say the word 'Kuchi' and notice that he seems to have an essence lock unobtrusively attached to the door. Fortunatly, your dear old dad tought you a little trick to get around those, as long as you can get an arcane link to the person.
23:06 *>Xuyiko<* you over hear him say the word 'saru' to open the door
23:06 *Scarlet_Snow* Ahhhh, excellent!
23:11 <BrilliantRainST> After a few seconds the door opens and he bows you into the room
23:13 *Xuyiko walks into the room, motioning for the two to follow him.
23:13 <Vneef_Vala> ( It's a trap! )
23:13 <BrilliantRainST> ...and what a room! It is nicely curved and decorated in blues and greens with attractive curving furnature with well stuffed pillows strewn around. it seems to be made for lounging."
23:14 *Scarlet_Snow eyes the pillows thoughtfully.
23:14 *Xuyiko notices Snow, and smiles.
23:15 *Vneef_Vala enters last, the last of the blush fading as she walks past Laral.
23:15 *Scarlet_Snow notices Xuyiko's smile and smiles back with a warmth and an almost surprised delight at the attention.
23:16 *Xuyiko sits down in one of the nicer (but not the nicest, that is reserved for Laral) chairs. She motions for the handmaiden's to accompany her at her side. "So..."
23:17 *Vneef_Vala stands at her mistress' side, the smile returning.
23:17 <BrilliantRainST> The Satrap turns away from you to pull a cord a few times. A distant ringing can be heard.
23:17 <BrilliantRainST> (roll Per+awa)
23:20 <BrilliantRainST> (So, everyone got 2 successes?)
23:20 <Xuyiko> (Looks like it. :V)
23:22 <BrilliantRainST> (all of you hear something that sounds a little like whispering, but it is probably just the bells reflecting off the adamant of the manse or something, because it stops then the ringing stops.)
23:22 *** Kalga (~Edward@MagicStar-DFF76F25.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has joined this channel
23:23 *** Xuyiko (~Edward@MagicStar-DFF76F25.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has quit (Ping timeout)
23:24 <BrilliantRainST> "Dinner will arrive soon."
23:25 *Scarlet_Snow nods, makes note of it and continues to make eye contact with Laral when she can get away with it.
23:25 <Kalga> Snow will find that Xuyiko would allow her to get away with it for quite some time.

19:52 <BrilliantRainST> Anyway, when last we were here all of you were in a very nice room awaiting dinner with your nice serial r...I mean nice host
19:52 *Scarlet_Snow snickers.
19:53 *Xuyiko looks around at the room, taking in details (Per+Inves?). "I am still amazed at how beautiful this house is."
19:53 <BrilliantRainST> (roll it)
19:55 *>Lazarillo<* feel free to join the other rooms if you want to watch
19:55 <Scarlet_Snow> (4 for me!)
19:56 <Xuyiko> (0 sux. .__.)
19:56 <Vneef_Vala> ( 2 on Per+Inve )
19:57 <Xuyiko> (0 on Per+Awa, 1 on Per+Inves The lady hates me.)
20:00 <BrilliantRainST> The room is well furnished in greens and blues, with curving furnature condusive to lounging, with several bellpulls around to summon servants. There are a few other doors that lead to unknown places, hangings to further difuse the light from the roof and the essence lights, and Laral is over at the sideboard fixing drinks
20:02 *Scarlet_Snow is seated on the left side of her mistress, legs crossed demurely and hands folded in her lap. Her dress fits her shapely form quite nicely, something she might be enhancing by sitting up a little bit straighter...
20:04 <BrilliantRainST> "So, my dear, what can I offer you to drink? Would your handmaidens like anything?"
20:05 *Vneef_Vala is standing to the right, waiting for permission to sit down. She doesn't answer, because answering that is Xachiro's job. Her own dress fits rather snuggly, and she's showing it off just a little better because she's standing instead of sitting.
20:06 *Scarlet_Snow catches his eye and slowly licks her lips with just the tip of her tongue.
20:06 *Xuyiko shakes her head. "No, I'm okay. Snow? Would you like something? How bout you, Vala?" She looks back to Laral. "You sure do know how to treat a lady." She takes Vala's hand. "No need to be so stiff. Take a seat."
20:07 <Scarlet_Snow> "You're so kind to me, mistress," Snow says, taking Xuyiko's other hand and squeezing it between her palms. "I don't deserve a mistress as good as you."
20:08 *Xuyiko puts an arm around Snow's shoulders. "I know, I spoil you; don't I?"
20:08 *Vneef_Vala sits down - after giving Snow a Look, of course - and thinks for a moment, before tentatively answering "...water? Thank you for asking, mistress."
20:09 *Vneef_Vala* :3?
20:09 *Scarlet_Snow wiggles just an inch closer to Xuyiko, looks her in the eyes and slowly nods, smiling meaningfully.
20:11 <BrilliantRainST> "I don't think I have just water here."
20:12 <Scarlet_Snow> "I'm not particular, as long as it pours, my Lord," Snow says sweetly to Laral.
20:12 <Xuyiko> "I'm sure Vala does not mind."
20:13 <Vneef_Vala> "Oh! Um... no, no I don't, not at all! Thank you, milord." She tries to send a Thought at Snow. It doesn't work as well as a Look would.
20:14 <BrilliantRainST> "Are you sure that you won't have something as well milady? I have some excellent wine here."
20:15 *Xuyiko shakes her head. "No no, I'm quite fine. Maybe Vala would prefer my glass instead?"
20:15 <BrilliantRainST> "As you wish."
20:15 *Scarlet_Snow 's hand slips down to rest on Xuyiko's thigh.
20:16 <Vneef_Vala> "Thank you." Vala blushes again, but smiles at both Xachiro and Laral.
20:16 *Xuyiko looks down at it, and places her hand on over it. She gives a Look at Snow. It said something like "You're going too far again~ :<"
20:17 <BrilliantRainST> Laral comes over with two glasses of wine
20:18 <BrilliantRainST> "For you my dears as he hands the glasses to the handmaidens
20:18 *Xuyiko* Hm. Since...Zeal was it, said he wouldn't be able to play; I have a friend who wants to join a DB game, and I promised I'd ask if an opening came up in this.
20:18 *Scarlet_Snow glances sideways at her mistress, her smile grows. Then she squeezes the woman's leg while inhaling sharply...as if Xuyiko had just done something to her.
20:18 *Vneef_Vala accepts hers gratefully, and savors the smell before tasting.
20:18 <Scarlet_Snow> "Oh, thank you, my Lord," Snow says to the Dynast, taking the glass with one hand while taking her other hand off Xuyiko's leg. She fans herself. "I seem to be a little flushed."
20:18 *Xuyiko did no such thing, and is extremely confused. She ignores it, and looks at Vala.
20:19 *>Xuyiko<* I'll look into it. I think someone else asked first though
20:19 *Vneef_Vala* ....?
20:20 *Xuyiko* Okay, I said I'd ask, and I did. Tell me if you decide to let him in, neh?
20:20 *>Xuyiko<* sure!
20:20 *Xuyiko* Thanks!
20:20 *Scarlet_Snow sips her glass.
20:21 *Vneef_Vala does likewise.
20:23 <BrilliantRainST> after handing you the glasses, he reclines in one of the chairs. "While we wait for dinner, perhaps you would tell me of yourselves?"
20:24 <BrilliantRainST> "Or of the Realm?"
20:24 <BrilliantRainST> "I've been away ffor so long."
20:25 *Xuyiko looks at Snow. "Snow, shall you? You're a much better storyteller then I am."
20:26 <Scarlet_Snow> "If you'd like, mistress. What story would you like me to tell?"
20:27 <BrilliantRainST> The wine is a vintage 200 from the Manosque wineries. It is amazing
20:28 *Xuyiko looks at Laral. "Anything the good sir wishes. Within reason, of course."
20:28 *>Scarlet_Snow<* ...and it has an interesting little aftertaste. Nothing major, just something to make you a bit more... pliable. well, it would if you were mortal anyway.
20:29 *>Scarlet_Snow<* as it is, you aren't affected
20:29 *Scarlet_Snow arches an elegant eyebrow at the handsome Dynast. "My lord?"
20:31 *Scarlet_Snow* Interesting.
20:31 *Scarlet_Snow* Thanks for the head's up.
20:31 <BrilliantRainST> "Ah. Well, Imperial City gossip is always interesting."
20:32 <Xuyiko> "Ah, I don't pay much heed to gossip. Nice stories, but I prefer fact.
20:32 <Xuyiko> "
20:33 <Scarlet_Snow> "Mmmm. Well, a handmaiden knows little of the higher intrigues but it's been said that House Ragara and House Mnemon may be pursuing a closer relationship than usual."
20:33 <Scarlet_Snow> "No one's entirely sure why."
20:34 *Xuyiko ran her hand through Snow's hair. "You know I tell you what I hear. Like I said, I spoil you two."
20:35 <Scarlet_Snow> "I've also heard that the Empress was willing to offer a granddaughter her own House."
20:35 <Scarlet_Snow> "But she refused!"
20:35 <Scarlet_Snow> "Scandulous, isn't it?"
20:36 <BrilliantRainST> "very much so."
20:36 *Xuyiko gasped. "You don't say, really?" She was being serious, in all truths.
20:36 <Scarlet_Snow> "Then again, the Da'nashays are strange ones."
20:36 *Vneef_Vala looks rather surprised, herself.
20:37 *Scarlet_Snow shrugs and smiles at Xuyiko.
20:37 <BrilliantRainST> "I'm not familiar with them." as he says that, there is a knock on one of the doors. "Ah, that should be dinner."
20:37 <Xuyiko> "Where did you hear that from? This is the first I've heard of it. Do you know people I don't know about?" She says the last part in a jokingly condecending tone.
20:38 <Scarlet_Snow> "A girl hears what she hears," Scarlet Snow says with a smile.
20:39 <Xuyiko> "You didn't hear it from your other mistress, did you?" she jokes again.
20:39 <BrilliantRainST> "We should probably pospone this discussion while they bring the food in." he says as he rises to open the door. Interestingly, it isn't the one all of you came through
20:40 *Vneef_Vala* T_T
20:40 <Scarlet_Snow> As Laral is distracted, Snow leans forward and brushes Xuyiko's ear with her lips, whispering, "She's not as good as you are, mistress."
20:41 *Xuyiko jumps while his back is turned. "Sno~w. You don't have to lay it on so thick."
20:41 *>Vneef_Vala<* ?
20:41 *Vneef_Vala* Ejava backstory - canon?
20:42 *>Vneef_Vala<* it is, if you want it to be
20:42 <Scarlet_Snow> "Whatever you want, mistress," Scarlet Snow says, bowing her head submissively. There is a glint from her silver eyes beneath her lashes, though.
20:42 *Xuyiko whispers "How do you manage to be both submissive and dominant at the same time?"
20:44 <Scarlet_Snow> "Isn't it obvious?" All traces of a smile slip away and, very seriously, she says, "Some part of you wants me to be."
20:44 *Xuyiko o_os. No no no no no no no no no no.
20:45 <BrilliantRainST> The food is brought in by quiet slave girls and looks excellent. Mostly fish and rice, but it looks very well prepared. "I am sorry I cannot offer my guest more impressive fare, but alas, bandits attacked my last shipment of food from home."
20:45 <Xuyiko> "It is no problem." Xuyiko replied with the largest of blushes on her normally pale face.
20:45 *Vneef_Vala hisses, "Snow! Behave in front of milord Ragara Laral!" under her breath before Laral returns.
20:45 <Xuyiko> (She is.)
20:46 <Scarlet_Snow> "I'm sorry for displeasing you," Snow says to Vala, also treating the remark seriously.
20:47 *Scarlet_Snow waits for her mistress to cue her when to begin eating.
20:47 <Xuyiko> (While snow wants to wait to sample the delicious slave girls.)
20:48 *Xuyiko looks at the food. "Food is food, especially when it's extremely well prepared." She hands a plate of some to Snow. "Snow, hungry?"
20:48 *Vneef_Vala waits as well, continuing to look apologetic for the new recruit's behavior.
20:48 <BrilliantRainST> The girls are wearing the standard slave uniform (that is not much). They also appear a bit cold.
20:49 <Xuyiko> (Cold in the way I think you mean it cold?)
20:49 <BrilliantRainST> (well the uniform is very small and the manse is a bit on the chilly side)
20:50 <Scarlet_Snow> "Always, mistress," Snow says, taking the plate with just a hint of smile once more.
20:52 *Xuyiko whispers low enough that even Snow has trouble hearing it. "Sure you don't want a bite of those slave girls while were at it? Pick up some for the road." She giggles loudly enough for the other's to hear it, as if she just made a witty observation.
20:53 *Scarlet_Snow pays no attention to the slave girls. Her eyes, when they aren't looking at her mistress, are focused entirely on Laral.
20:54 <Scarlet_Snow> "You're so kind to think of me, mistress. But you know you're the only woman for me."
20:54 *Vneef_Vala blushes again. That one isn't entirely an act.
20:54 <BrilliantRainST> As the slaves are setting up the plates, tables and food, Laral stands up to get his, as food is getting passed to Snow and, somehow, things get tangled and wine gets spilled on Laral's clothing
20:54 *Xuyiko joins Vala in her blush. "I-I'm what? I didn't know I was that important to you."
20:55 <Scarlet_Snow> "You're my mistress!"
20:55 *Scarlet_Snow looks slightly worried and bites her lower lip. Are her eyes a bit brighter from unshed tears?
20:56 *Xuyiko looks at the wine spilled on Laral's clothing. "Oh! Um..."
20:56 <BrilliantRainST> it looks like it was Snow's wine that spilled
20:56 *Vneef_Vala reflexively moves to pick up anything dropped, before remembering that she is a /guest/ here... or at least, her mistress is... and so it falls on others to keep the place clean.
20:57 <BrilliantRainST> the slaves immidiately start picking things up. (Per+awa rolls everyone?)
20:58 <Vneef_Vala> ( Two successes. )
20:58 <Xuyiko> (0 successes, again. T~T)
20:59 *Scarlet_Snow looks at Laral and says, "Oh no, my lord, I'm so sorry!" She looks genuinely panicked.
20:59 <Scarlet_Snow> "Here, let me...oh no, it's all over you!"
20:59 *Scarlet_Snow starts brushing at his clothes, as if her fingers can somehow do anything for the wine.
20:59 <Xuyiko> "Oh, sir. I'm so so sorry. Snow can be a tad- I'm terribly sorry- clumsy at times."
20:59 <Scarlet_Snow> If her fingers happen to brush against portions of his anatomy more than other parts, it's *clearly* a coincidence.
21:00 <Xuyiko> (Of course. Without a doubt.)
21:00 <BrilliantRainST> Laral looks stormy for a few moments before his features uncloud and he smoothly says "Oh well, it was white wine, it shouldn't stain. Still, I should have it seen to.....Drat! I just remembered. My last launderer left and my current one is no good. My Lady, would you allow me the use of one of yours?"
21:01 *>Scarlet_Snow<* you notice a glint of pleasure in his face before he clouds up rather theatrically. You are pretty sure he did that on purpose
21:01 *Scarlet_Snow* Just As Planned.
21:01 *>Vneef_Vala<* you notice a glint of pleasure in his face before he clouds up rather theatrically.
21:02 <Scarlet_Snow> "My Lord, I'm so sorry." She kneels before him, her head bowed, her entire posture meek.
21:03 <Vneef_Vala> ( Snow, what's your Int? )
21:04 <Xuyiko> "Uh, launderer? I'm sorry, but my trip was not supposed to last very long. A day or two at most, to get to my destination. I was planning on using my cousin's, there. But maybe Vala could take care of it? Again, I'm so terribly sorry. Snow will be dealt with later, if it pleases you. I promise."
21:04 <Scarlet_Snow> (2)
21:05 *Vneef_Vala stands, curtsying, trying to look like she is glad to be getting away from Snow for a bit, and trying to look like she's hiding that.
21:05 <Xuyiko> "Perhaps Snow could assist you in changing out of those clothes? Anything that would please you, sir."
21:05 <BrilliantRainST> "No harm done. Though, as it was her fault, perhaps you would let me borrow both of them to handle this? My slaves can see to your unpacking."
21:06 *Xuyiko nods. "Of course."
21:06 *Vneef_Vala attempts to hide her feigned irritation.
21:08 *>Vneef_Vala<* you notice an odd whispering undertone to his words. It makes them feel more powerful somehow
21:08 <Scarlet_Snow> "Thank you, mistress, for letting me try to make up for my mistake."
21:08 *>Xuyiko<* you notice an odd whispering undertone to his words. It makes them feel more powerful somehow
21:08 <Xuyiko> "You're welcome." she replies curtly. Displeased mistress is displeased.
21:09 <BrilliantRainST> "Then come with me please."
21:09 <Xuyiko> "Do as he asks."
21:09 <BrilliantRainST> he leads the two maids out into another room
21:10 *Scarlet_Snow follows, her head still hanging submissively.
21:10 *Vneef_Vala follows!
21:10 <Xuyiko> (Are there any slave girls still in the room?)
21:10 <BrilliantRainST> down a hall and into his bedroom
21:10 <BrilliantRainST> (yup)
21:10 <Xuyiko> (FFFFFFFFFFFFFF Sorry you two. :<)
21:10 <BrilliantRainST> "Stand over there." he points
21:10 *Xuyiko looks up at the closest slave. "You, what is your name?"
21:11 <BrilliantRainST> she doesn't look up, just cleans faster
21:11 <Vneef_Vala> ( Eh, worst that can happen is rape. ) Vala follows the command.
21:11 <Xuyiko> Hm. Curious. "Girl?"
21:12 *Xuyiko* God damn characters being smarter then I am... :|
21:13 <BrilliantRainST> He walks behind a screen and is apperently removing his clothing
21:13 *>Xuyiko<* oh?
21:15 *Scarlet_Snow catches Vala's eye, inclines her head toward the bed and begins moving toward the screen herself.
21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> Assuming no objections from Vala, Scarlet Snow reaches behind her back, undoes the stays on her dress and steps right out of it as she steps behind the screen with the Dynast.
21:17 *Vneef_Vala puts a restraining hand on Snow's shoulder, shaking her head. He prefers his girls unwilling... Vala suspects that, even after all the seduction attempts, he may not opt for Snow...
21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> (I should have waited 5 seconds.)
21:17 <Xuyiko> (>Assuming no objections from Vala)
21:17 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...Objection! )
21:22 <BrilliantRainST> (roll Per+awa)
21:24 <Vneef_Vala> ( Four successes )
21:24 <Scarlet_Snow> (5).
21:26 *Xuyiko sighs. She stood up, and looked directly at the slave. "Oi. You."
21:26 <BrilliantRainST> As the slave works on cleaning up she says, in a small voice "yes, milady?"
21:27 <Xuyiko> "Finally. First, what is your name?"
21:27 <BrilliantRainST> "....don't have one"
21:27 <BrilliantRainST> (the two of you notice that the stone around your feet is suspciously different in color from the rest)
21:28 <Xuyiko> "...You don't have one...? Oh, well...Is there anything Lord Laral calls you by?"

21:27 <Xuyiko> "Finally. First, what is your name?"
21:27 <BrilliantRainST> "....don't have one"
21:27 <BrilliantRainST> (the two of you notice that the stone around your feet is suspciously different in color from the rest)
21:28 <Xuyiko> "...You don't have one...? Oh, well...Is there anything Lord Laral calls you by?"
21:28 *Scarlet_Snow steps off the stone, putting distance between herself and Vala.
21:29 <Scarlet_Snow> Scarlet Snow gives Vala a meaningful look again, inclining her head toward Laral behind the shade.
21:30 *Vneef_Vala thinks for a moment. Wonders just what would happen if she didn't move. It's move and risk blowing her cover, or don't move and... who knows...?
21:30 <BrilliantRainST> Laral comes out from behind the screen wearing his loincloth and carrying his robes. "I thought I said to stand there." there is certainly a hint of eldrich power in his voice
21:31 <Vneef_Vala> Too late for thinking. Vala gives Snow a glare, and remains where she is. The mission goes on.
21:33 *Scarlet_Snow doesn't move until he says so but does look at him. Not his eyes, not that presumptous, but she looks at his chest, at the rest of him. She seems to like what she sees.
21:34 <BrilliantRainST> he walks over to where you are and pulls Snow back over so that everyone is on the square. "This is the quick way to get to the cleaning room."
21:35 <Vneef_Vala> ( Right, right. )
21:35 <BrilliantRainST> he pulls a lever on the wall and it lowers into the ground.
21:35 <Xuyiko> (HE HAS A RAPE CHAMBER DUDE EVEN CRAZY PEOPLE MUST KNOW THAT'S CRAZY!)
21:35 <BrilliantRainST> the slave "he calls me 'you' milady."
21:36 *Vneef_Vala looks at Ragara Laral. "Please forgive her, milord, she's so... impulsive." Vala's anger would give Snow a tanned hide. Laral's anger could give Snow a permanent haircut.
21:36 *Xuyiko pouts. "That's so sad. So, you are a slave? How expensive were you?"
21:38 <BrilliantRainST> slave "I don't know milady. can I do something for you milady?"
21:38 <BrilliantRainST> Laral doesn't seem particularly annoyed
21:39 *Xuyiko sighs. Laral broke her. She doesn't seem any more lively then an automaton. "Which one of you is highest ranked, in this room?"
21:40 <BrilliantRainST> the floor under you drops a bit and you all fall into a chute which drops you into a large round room. it looks like it is half a sorcerer's lab and half a kinky bedchamber
21:41 <BrilliantRainST> slave "i am milady."
21:42 *Vneef_Vala lands first. This probably will not be a good thing, given that Snow and Laral are close behind.
21:42 <Xuyiko> (D cups of crash landing!)
21:43 <BrilliantRainST> the landing area is well padded, especially after Vala lands
21:47 <Scarlet_Snow> "...my LORD!" Scarlet Snow says, with emphasis.
21:49 <Xuyiko> "Okay. I wish for peace. Where shall I find some? A nice quiet, secluded place. A study or library, perhaps?"
21:49 <BrilliantRainST> He seems colder now, but much more intense. "Both of you, go lie on the bed. Now!"
21:49 <Xuyiko> (Turns out the answer is: BOTH OF YOU GET RAPED!)
21:50 *Vneef_Vala is still under him. And Snow.
21:51 <Vneef_Vala> She does do a magnificent tremble, though.
21:51 <BrilliantRainST> he stands up
21:51 *Scarlet_Snow scrambles to her feet and helps Vala up.
21:52 *Vneef_Vala needs it. She's shaking like a leaf.
21:53 <BrilliantRainST> "Go to the Bed, now"
21:55 <BrilliantRainST> slave "thisway Milady."
21:55 <BrilliantRainST> she points to a door
21:55 *Xuyiko follows after the slave.
21:57 *Scarlet_Snow obediently goes to the bed.
21:57 *Vneef_Vala follows, nervously looking around, obviously frightened.
21:59 <Scarlet_Snow> Then Scarlet Snow undoes the back stays of her dress, allowing the front of it to fall away, giving the Dynast a rather fine frontal view...and allowing her to reach the knife sheath she wore under her dress, the one usually hidden by her hair.
21:59 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...Can he see the knife? )
22:00 <Scarlet_Snow> The one tied to the base of the braid so from the front, the only obvious sign of her reaching the blade is a rather...impressive inhalation.
22:00 <BrilliantRainST> (nope)
22:00 <Scarlet_Snow> (Nope. All done in the back. It's in my character description, just done slightly differently here because of the braid.)
22:02 <BrilliantRainST> (at this point I think I probably need to ask both of you to make dex+stealth rolls if you are going to try to jump him)
22:02 *Scarlet_Snow 's face assumes a look of liquid fascination mingled with fear. Like she's seeing something wondrous but, now seen, she's afraid of it. She looks like she wants Laral but, now that he's in control, she's not sure she can handle him.
22:02 <Vneef_Vala> ( I'm going to stunt mine, if that's all right. )
22:03 <Scarlet_Snow> (I'm hoping all of this sets me up for a stunt for it. And I'm not acting until I get him in range.)
22:03 <BrilliantRainST> (no problem)
22:03 <BrilliantRainST> (Snow already has a +2 on it)
22:04 <Vneef_Vala> "Um... milord... um... can.. can I... um... say something... please?" Vala's nervously tugging on her braid, looking at Laral with fear in her eyes.
22:05 <Scarlet_Snow> "Vara, no, just do as he says!" Snow hisses to her. "Can't you see how *strong* he is?"
22:06 <Vneef_Vala> "Um... um... you're right." Vala defers to Snow, hoping she's got a Plan.
22:06 <Vneef_Vala> She's still nervously tugging her braid, though.
22:10 <BrilliantRainST> (both of you are on or near the bed)
22:10 <BrilliantRainST> he is coming closer to the bed
22:12 *Scarlet_Snow is on the bed, on her knees, naked from the waist up, one arm behind her back now lowered to the waist and holding a knife, the other arm held out as if to keep him at bay.
22:12 <BrilliantRainST> the slave leads you to a sitting room, well stocked with books "can i assist you with anything else Milady?"
22:12 <BrilliantRainST> he has reached the bed
22:12 *Vneef_Vala sits down on the bed - still fully garbed, trembling, staring up at him...
22:14 <Xuyiko> "What sort of room is this?"
22:17 <BrilliantRainST> "the Master's library."
22:17 <Xuyiko> "Is this where he conducts his business?"
22:17 <Vneef_Vala> And, at that moment, all hell breaks loose. Well, a lot of hell, anyway, with Vala's open hand rocketing towards the naked Ragara's face at remarkable speed.
22:17 <Vneef_Vala> At the same time, she shouts a couple syllables in Old Realm, and her hand is surrounded in coruscating blue energy. Energy that is only barely noticable over the sudden patches of flowers of all sorts- stems well-stocked with thorns - that have sprung up around her whole body.
22:18 <Vneef_Vala> ( Punch to the head, possibly with surprise, with my anima in full flux, my anima toxin up, and regardless of whether I hit or miss, he takes an Emerald Countermagic to the face. )
22:18 <Vneef_Vala> ( Stunt on the dex+stealth? Stunt on the attack? )
22:19 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...oh, right, Snow! )
22:19 <Scarlet_Snow> Simultaenously, Scarlet Snow whips the knife around from behind her back, crouches and lunges from the bed. As Vala slaps high, she strikes low, aiming for a solid kidney stab.
22:19 <BrilliantRainST> (ok, both of you roll your dex+stealth+2. if you get over 6 successes, your first attack has surprise. you can also try to argue me into using another attribute)
22:20 <Vneef_Vala> ( Seeing as I was standing right in front of him, not hiding at all, I'd like to use Larceny. )
22:20 <Scarlet_Snow> !roll_ww 9 7 ex
22:20 <Scarlet_Snow> ...
22:21 <BrilliantRainST> (I suppose I can allow larceny on both, if you would rather. anyone using excellencies or virtue channels?)
22:21 <Vneef_Vala> (I'll be using both a Larceny Excellency and a Temperance Channel (he was trying to rape me!), if valid. )
22:22 <BrilliantRainST> (sure.)
22:22 <Xuyiko> (Temperence Channel- 24 hour access of girls like Xuyiko.)
22:23 <Vneef_Vala> ( Dex 3 + Larc 1 + Excellency 4 (-2m) + Temperance 3 + Stunt 2 = 13 dice. )
22:23 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...three successes, I fail. Stunt on the attack? )
22:24 <BrilliantRainST> (2 dice)
22:25 <Vneef_Vala> ( Does my Temperance channel still apply here, or do I need to channel it again?
22:25 <Vneef_Vala> )
22:25 <BrilliantRainST> (you would need to use it again)
22:26 <Vneef_Vala> ( Doing so. Dexterity 3 + Martial Arts 2 + Temperance 3 + Stunt 2 = 10 dice. )
22:26 <Vneef_Vala> ( Five successes. Rolling for anima flux damage now - first Laral, then Snow. )
22:27 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...okay, anima flux can wait. What's his Bashing soak? )
22:28 <Vneef_Vala> ( Damage is 2 strength + 2 successes - 2 soak, however, that would take damage below my Essence, so I ping. Additionally, he has just been infected with a Damage 3L/minute, Toxicity 3, Tolerance None, Penalty -2 poison. I have no idea what this means. Rolling damage. )
22:29 <Vneef_Vala> ( One damage. Rolling anima flux - first Laral, then Snow. )
22:29 <Xuyiko> (Does anyone have Vala Antivenom?)
22:29 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...Ouch. Sorry, Snow. You take 1L, while Laral does not. )
22:31 <Scarlet_Snow> (Snow will live.)
22:31 <Xuyiko> (Not unless we milk Vala's fangs for an antidote.)
22:31 <Scarlet_Snow> (Kinky.)
22:32 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...why would you milk her /fangs/? )
22:33 <Xuyiko> (Because that's where the venom comes from, and you make antivenom from venom!)
22:35 <BrilliantRainST> (so what did snow do?)
22:35 <BrilliantRainST> "Not Again!" his action this round is rushing over to the desk
22:35 <Scarlet_Snow> (I stabbed him for 2 Lethal.)
22:35 *Vneef_Vala then makes a break for the exit, so she can find Xuyiko. ( I assume I can find the exit. )
22:35 *Scarlet_Snow spends her move action to pursue him to the desk.
22:37 <Vneef_Vala> ( Okay. Rolling the die for the poison. )
22:37 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...luckily, botches on damage rolls do nothing. )
22:37 <Vneef_Vala> ( Two doses remaining in his system. )
22:38 <BrilliantRainST> there is a door but it looks locked. you can try the slide, but it was pretty slippery
22:39 <Vneef_Vala> ( No. I'm going to stand next to it, and punch it until my fists or my anima destroy it. )
22:39 <Xuyiko> (...Seriously?)
22:40 <Vneef_Vala> ( No. )
22:40 <Vneef_Vala> ( I'm actually going to /kick/ it. )
22:40 <Xuyiko> (That works too.)
22:41 <BrilliantRainST> (ok, now that we are out of the surprize round, roll your wits+awa)
22:45 *Scarlet_Snow slips up right in front of Laral and grips him by the throat, not painfully but firmly. "My sweet Laral, my my, you're more precious than I imagined." Scarlet Snow looks flushed, excited...eager. "I'd heard about you but I never imagined what a *man* you are."
22:45 <Scarlet_Snow> "You know just what women need don't you." She urges him to nod with her hand as she nods. "You know what we deserve, don't you."
22:46 <Scarlet_Snow> "I know what I deserve...and I think you can give it to me. Will you?" She moans erotically as she rubs up against him and says, "Oh, Laral, aren't you going to put me in my place?"
22:47 <Xuyiko> MEANWHILE: Xuyiko is reading, while trying to coax friendly talk out of the slave. It's not going to well. Pageturn. Pageturn. Wonder what the other two are doing?
22:47 <Scarlet_Snow> If not stopped, Scarlet Snow kisses him passionately, urging him to take her right there on the desk...and forget all about the knife in her hand.
22:48 <BrilliantRainST> the slave, for her part, seems content to stand there answering questions with the shortest answers possible
22:49 <Xuyiko> Pout. More pouting. Even more pouting. "I've been needing a new handmaiden...I wonder." she mutters to herself.
22:50 <BrilliantRainST> (make a socialize roll at +2 for the stunt, but -1 because you stabbed him)
22:52 <Xuyiko> (Ah, Exalted. I love this game.)
22:53 <Vneef_Vala> ( See how many times you can stab and reseduce. :D )
22:54 <Xuyiko> (Counting the last one, three more. If she tries for it.)
22:54 <BrilliantRainST> he seems to have forgotten all about the knife in his lust for you. he grabs you and pushes you onto the table
22:55 <BrilliantRainST> ok, now Vala's action
22:56 *Vneef_Vala was running at the door, at a respectable speed. She doesn't even try to find out if it's unlocked first, instead planting a perfectly-placed punt right next to the lock. That, plus the surge of raw elemental might flowing through her, should take care of it.
22:58 <BrilliantRainST> (what is your Str+ath?)
22:59 <Vneef_Vala> ( 3+Stunt. )

22:56 *Vneef_Vala was running at the door, at a respectable speed. She doesn't even try to find out if it's unlocked first, instead planting a perfectly-placed punt right next to the lock. That, plus the surge of raw elemental might flowing through her, should take care of it.
22:58 <BrilliantRainST> (what is your Str+ath?)
22:59 <Vneef_Vala> ( 3+Stunt. )
23:00 <BrilliantRainST> (i'll give it 2 dice. but you need as much as you can get. these doors are essence locked)
23:00 <BrilliantRainST> (or we can resolve this as a set of extended attack rolls)
23:00 <Vneef_Vala> ( Stunts on Str+Ath rolls are added straight in, no roll needed. But I was intending to, as noted earlier, kick the door down.
23:00 <Vneef_Vala> )
23:02 <Vneef_Vala> ( Rolling my kick as a heavy attack - -1Acc, +2Dmg. )
23:03 <Scarlet_Snow> (Kicks have +3B)
23:03 <Vneef_Vala> (...forgot stunt dice. )
23:03 <BrilliantRainST> (yeah, but this is a door in a manse locked with essence. you need something like a str+ath rating of like 13 or 14 to kick it open)
23:03 <Xuyiko> (I doubt the door is made of Essence.)
23:04 <Vneef_Vala> ( It also still has health levels. It'll break eventually.
23:04 <Vneef_Vala> )
23:04 <Vneef_Vala> ( Total damage - 9B, assuming doors have no DV )
23:05 <Vneef_Vala> ( Not piercing, sadly. )
23:05 <Scarlet_Snow> (Nope. That's all Laral. Well, Laral and my knife.)
23:05 <Vneef_Vala> ( Do I actually scratch it, or can we skip to my rolling my anima flux, since I /know/ the door will take that? )
23:07 <BrilliantRainST> (I'll let it be an oak door: 5 bashing soak)
23:07 <Vneef_Vala> ( 3 bashing, and it'll take 3 lethal from my anima before my next attack. )
23:09 <BrilliantRainST> you have damaged it, but the hole isn't big enough yet to break it open
23:09 <BrilliantRainST> (and Snow, go!)
23:11 *Scarlet_Snow lets him push her back on the desk. She lets him force her legs open, rip off whatever remaining clothes she might have on. She's even willing to let him go further than that (Censored in the interests of keeping this PG-13).
23:12 <Xuyiko> (And being too lazy to open up the Smutforging works. :P)
23:12 *Scarlet_Snow grasps him toward her, locks her legs around his waist and, when he's utterly distracted, puts the point of the blade right against vertebrae in his spine.
23:12 <Scarlet_Snow> "Oh, Laral, you *are* quite the man," Scarlet Snow says, poking him slightly with the knife. "But I'm afraid you'll need a little self control or..."
23:12 <Scarlet_Snow> "Well, one twist of this knife and you'll never walk again."
23:12 <Scarlet_Snow> "Never feel anything below the waist."
23:12 <Scarlet_Snow> "Ever again."
23:13 <Xuyiko> (D:)
23:13 <Scarlet_Snow> "Am I clear, my dear, *sweet* Laral?"
23:13 <BrilliantRainST> (nah, you can get him before he inserts anything)
23:13 <Scarlet_Snow> (That's fine. She'll do that then.)
23:13 <BrilliantRainST> (+3 stunt. make an intimidation roll)
23:14 <Vneef_Vala> ( This is exalted, not dnd )
23:14 <Xuyiko> (And my, what an intimidation roll.)
23:15 <BrilliantRainST> (right. you are being intimidating, so what do you think? Manip+pres?)
23:16 <Scarlet_Snow> (That's what I rolled!)
23:16 <Vneef_Vala> ( I'd argue cha+pres, but she's already rolled it, so it doesn't matter. )
23:17 <Scarlet_Snow> (I'm coercing, not convincing.)
23:17 <BrilliantRainST> hmmm.....Laral seems to have gone limp.....and fainted
23:17 <Xuyiko> (Quick! Those chains! On his bed! Use them for good!)
23:17 *Xuyiko turns the page. "Say, how long has Laral owned you?"
23:18 <Vneef_Vala> ( Can I kick the door again now? )
23:18 <BrilliantRainST> slave "....many years"
23:18 <BrilliantRainST> (yup)
23:19 <Xuyiko> "How old are you now?"
23:19 <Scarlet_Snow> (...you know, that's a great idea. I'm going to chain his unconscious body to his own bed.)
23:19 <Xuyiko> (:3c Just because Xuyiko is Xuyiko doesn't mean I am.)
23:19 <Scarlet_Snow> "Vala?" Scarlet Snow asks.
23:21 <Vneef_Vala> "Chain him to the bed, keep an eye on him, and find out what he wanted at that desk! I will locake Xuyiko, and then exit so as to avoid further damage to the Manse!" She says this as she watches her anima rolling, prying into the door, trying to peel it apart...
23:21 <Vneef_Vala> ...there. The vines are congregating there. Vala aims, and launches another powerful kick at the newly-discovered weak spot.
23:22 <Vneef_Vala> Already, the stone under her feet is beginning to crumble a little...
23:22 <Vneef_Vala> ( Stunt? )
23:23 <Scarlet_Snow> "You realize I could have probably nicked the lock," Scarlet Snow says, somewhat sardonically.
23:23 <BrilliantRainST> (+2)
23:23 <Vneef_Vala> ( Another MIGHTY BLOW. )
23:24 <BrilliantRainST> (heh)
23:24 <Scarlet_Snow> "I'll keep an eye on him, Vala, but I'll leave the desk and the rest to you and Xuyiko."
23:25 <Vneef_Vala> ( 3 Kick + 2 Strength + 4 Extra Successes. Am I forgetting anything? )
23:25 <Scarlet_Snow> "After all, in short order, the Magistrate and our good Dejanira will have the Manse under their power anyway."
23:25 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...oh, duh, heavy blow. )
23:25 <Scarlet_Snow> "You'll be back with Xuyiko."
23:25 <Scarlet_Snow> "So I might as well make sure sweet Laral here doesn't go anywhere."
23:26 <Vneef_Vala> ( One more kick, two more anima flux die before my next kick. Please let that be enough. )
23:26 *Scarlet_Snow glares at the unconscious Dynast and gives him a swift kick to the ribs, says "You fucking asshole" in an uncharacteristically un-Scarlet Snow-like way and puts her clothes back on.
23:29 <BrilliantRainST> (how much damage?)
23:29 <BrilliantRainST> (to the door)
23:29 <Vneef_Vala> ( Sorry. 1B, 2L until my next kick. Wasn't clear. )
23:30 <BrilliantRainST> (your next kick will split the door enough so you guys can get out)
23:30 <BrilliantRainST> Getting Laral into bed isn't that difficult
23:30 <Vneef_Vala> A few seconds later, Vala forces her way through the ex-door. ( What do I see, hmm? )
23:31 <BrilliantRainST> and with your expertese he is quickly chained and tied in place
23:31 <BrilliantRainST> outside the door is s staircase
23:31 <Xuyiko> (He couldn't have just taken that?)
23:32 <BrilliantRainST> it goes down
23:32 <Xuyiko> (Oh.)
23:32 <BrilliantRainST> (so, now what?)
23:33 <Xuyiko> (How bout just skip to her finding Xuyiko?)
23:33 <BrilliantRainST> (so you down the stairs?)
23:33 *Vneef_Vala bolts down it, doing a on-the-fly clothing change as she does. That stupid bonnet thing is removed, though she pulls a veil out of it and slips it over her face, obscuring it. She takes off the apron, too, pocketting both it and the hood. A bit of un-poofing of poofy parts, and she lets the illusion drop. She now looks every part the Dynast, and promptly tracks down someone to yell at until she knows where to
23:33 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...that cut off, didn't it? )
23:33 <Xuyiko> to
23:34 <Vneef_Vala> She now looks every part the Dynast, and promptly tracks down someone to yell at until she knows where to get to Xuyiko.
23:34 <Xuyiko> (Just head to the largest source of books.)
23:34 <BrilliantRainST> Downstairs is a large room. From the briefing and all the crates in the room, you are pretty sure you are in the secure pearl storage warehouse.
23:35 <BrilliantRainST> While the door is locked, there should be a guard on the other side that can open it

So, Xuyiko was in the library, Snow was guarding the bad guy, and Vala was running through the tower
20:21 <BrilliantRainST> Vala, we will start with you
20:22 <Vneef_Vala> ( Right. Had just done a Quick Costume Change, complete with face-obscuring veil, and... come across a locked door in a warehouse, I believe. )
20:22 <Xuyiko> (Aye.)
20:22 <BrilliantRainST> You are in a large round tower warehouse style room, full of crates. there is a very strong locked door, but it should have a guard on the other side to let you out
20:22 <BrilliantRainST> and yes, you are currently the very model of a breeding 5 dynast
20:22 <Scarlet_Snow> (If we ever have a vote between staying in here and another room, I vote for this room.)
20:22 <Vneef_Vala> ( How sturdy does this door look? Soundproof? )
20:23 <Xuyiko> (Make your vote after you get Xuyiko here. :3c)
20:24 <BrilliantRainST> (probably not, but it looks much stronger than the one upstairs.)
20:27 *Vneef_Vala pauses at the door. Thinks for a moment. Then settles for simplicity. "OPEN THIS DOOR!" ( As a side note, do Terrestrial animas illuminate as brightly as Celestial animas do? 'Cause I am, at least, at the 11-15 level. Well, 9-13. )
20:29 <BrilliantRainST> (I'd say so)
20:29 <BrilliantRainST> (are you just going to shout or are you gong to bang on it too?)
20:29 <Xuyiko> (How'd you get so high?)
20:29 <Vneef_Vala> ( Well, that poor guard is in for a surprise when he investigates the green glowing at the edges of the door. And I'm standing back a bit, so he doesn't open the door and then get anima'd. No banging. )
20:30 <Vneef_Vala> ( Snow could benefit from reading that last sentence a few times over, by the way )
20:30 <Xuyiko> (It wouldn't stop her.)
20:30 <Vneef_Vala> ( Emerald Countermagic entirely from peripheral.
20:30 <Vneef_Vala> )
20:31 <BrilliantRainST> "....wha...."
20:31 <BrilliantRainST> "is-is someone in there?"
20:32 <Scarlet_Snow> (XD)
20:32 <Vneef_Vala> "A Daughter of Sextes Jylis who is /becoming increasingly cross/. Open the door."
20:34 <BrilliantRainST> "ummm....Yes, Ma'am!"
20:34 <BrilliantRainST> with some mumbling the door opens with a rumble
20:35 <BrilliantRainST> you see a guard standing outside with his sword drawn peering in
20:35 *Vneef_Vala stares at him. She doesn't bother glaring, since the veil hides her face. Besides, she certainly looks intimidating enough as is, with her anima in full bloom.
20:36 <Vneef_Vala> "Stand back, if you do not wish to come to harm as I exit." The reasoning is obvious, even to those who are unfamiliar with the Dragons; her anima is quite merrily cracking the ground under her feet, and a nearby crate is beginning to sprout shoots.
20:36 *Scarlet_Snow lies on top of the rape bed, sprawled out on her side, admiring the play of skin across muscle on the well-formed and entirely unconscious Ragara Laral.
20:37 <Scarlet_Snow> Just because he's a rapist doesn't mean he isn't nice to look at.
20:37 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...you're just trying to get more posting material for the funny quotes thread. >:( )
20:37 <Xuyiko> (:P)
20:37 <Scarlet_Snow> (...not really, just behaving in character and reminding myself of the scene.)
20:37 <BrilliantRainST> "Yessir!" he comes to attention "May I assist, sir?"
20:38 <BrilliantRainST> he stands back
20:39 <Vneef_Vala> ( There's a magistrate in town, yes? Not counting the one we brought with us? )
20:40 <BrilliantRainST> (yup)
20:43 <Vneef_Vala> "Summon a magistrate to this warehouse immediately." And she hurries off - not at a full run, because that would be undignified, but a walk that is simultaneously brisk and regal.
20:43 <BrilliantRainST> "Yes ma'am."
20:43 <Xuyiko> MEANWHILE: Xuyiko is /still/ trying to get conversation out of that slave.
20:44 <Scarlet_Snow> (Charisma or Manipulation+Socialize to seduce her!)
20:44 <Scarlet_Snow> (THAT will get her to talk.)
20:44 <BrilliantRainST> the soldier starts waving frantically at one of the towers and people start moving
20:44 <Vneef_Vala> ( *tries to imagine Xuyiko being seductive* )
20:44 <Xuyiko> (I don't think three dice is going to do it)
20:45 <BrilliantRainST> yes, meanwhile, talking to the slave is about as difficult a chewing your way through raw rockodile
20:46 *Vneef_Vala makes a beeline - well, as much of one as possible - for Laral's room. Maybe Xuyiko is still there, or someone who can tell her where Xuyiko went.
20:47 <Xuyiko> (There should still be a couple slaves in that room.)
20:47 <BrilliantRainST> (ok, and I'll let you know when you get there Vala)
20:47 <BrilliantRainST> the slave "...."
20:48 *Scarlet_Snow checks to see if Laral shows any sign of gaining consciousness. If not, she'll saunter over to the desks, pick up some papers and bring them back to the bed for some reading.
20:48 <Vneef_Vala> ( Given that Vala is now wandering around outside, I can't help but wonder how the town is reacting to the wierd green light coming from the Manse. I bet it's funny. )
20:48 <BrilliantRainST> (Snow, roll Per+Inv, then Int+Bureau)
20:48 *Xuyiko sighs. "You're not much for talking, are you? You can speak, I won't tell anything you say to Laral."
20:49 <BrilliantRainST> (is Vala doing anything to try to get the slave to open up more?"
20:49 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...You mean Xuyiko? )
20:49 <BrilliantRainST> "what would Milady have me say?"
20:49 <BrilliantRainST> (yes, sorry)
20:50 *Xuyiko smiles sweetly. "Anything you want. Any thoughts, feelings, observations?"

20:53 <Scarlet_Snow> (To be clear, I got 4 successes to investigate and 5 for the bureaucracy roll.)
20:53 <BrilliantRainST> (Snow finds lots of papers, some small jade and adamant icosahedrons, a number of sets of panties and locks of hair, some sorcery stuff, books and a small rope woven of rainbow thread with three knots in it. after going through the papers, this seems to be the exact evidence you were supposed to find.)
20:54 <BrilliantRainST> (He has contracts with the Guild for artifacts, invoices that clearly show he was letting thieves seize pearl shipments, etc.)
20:55 <Scarlet_Snow> "Mmmm...I wonder what the others are up to. I'd have expected Vala to have fetched Xuyiko by now." Scarlet Snow nibbles thoughtfully on a pen and organizes up the evidence. "Suppose I'll wait for them."
20:55 *Scarlet_Snow points at the unconscious Dynast and says, "You, I'm not letting out of my sight."
20:55 *Scarlet_Snow gags him for good measure.
20:55 <Xuyiko> (:| For good measure. Su~ure.)
20:56 <BrilliantRainST> "i observe....that your cup is empty Milady." She goes to refill your glass of water from a nearby pitcher. As she fills it, she looks into your eyes and you can tell that she is worried about your maids
20:57 <BrilliantRainST> It is at this point that another slave shows a high breeding dynast into the library.
20:58 *Scarlet_Snow passes the time by painting her nails.
20:58 *Xuyiko looks at it, and takes a drink. "Thank you." She looks deeper into the eyes "They'll be fine. Trust me?" (Cha+Pres to persuade her to trust Xuyiko?)
20:58 *Vneef_Vala stands very far from anything made of wood. As this is a library, the task is difficult.
20:58 <BrilliantRainST> (sure)

21:01 <Xuyiko> (Kinda hard to say she's in danger when she's right there.)
21:01 <Vneef_Vala> ( And no longer appearing to be a maid. Or even appearing to be Vala. )
21:01 <Xuyiko> (FFFFFFFFFFF)
21:01 <BrilliantRainST> The slave looks unconvinced, but you have other issues now
21:02 <BrilliantRainST> (so, both of you are there, feel free to interact.)
21:02 *Xuyiko recognizes Vala's true form. "Vala! You switched back? Why? All done?"
21:03 *Vneef_Vala looks at Xuyiko. "Yes. Ragara Laral is detained, and a magistrate has been sent for. Snow remained with Laral, to ensure he does not escape."
21:03 *Xuyiko :|s. "You left *Snow* with him?"
21:04 <Vneef_Vala> "Better than I remain, and have my anima cause damage to evidence. Speaking of which..."
21:05 <Xuyiko> "...Um...Yeah. You're gonna want to stay a couple yards from me. I'm not very resilliant."
21:05 <Scarlet_Snow> (Look for a safe room.)
21:05 <Scarlet_Snow> (He's a DB. Chances are at least a few rooms will be made of stone for anima flux.)
21:06 <BrilliantRainST> (the main courtyard would be the best bet really)
21:06 <Vneef_Vala> ( I'm fairly sure that /outside/ is safe. And she'll even make a new garden for whoever gets the Manse next. ) "Follow me, I shall lead you to where Laral is being held." Her voice is smooth, calm, even, as if this is all perfectly normal.
21:07 *Xuyiko follows well behind her, lest she invoke the wrath of the anima. It looks angry.
21:07 <BrilliantRainST> (as long as your stamina isn't zero, anyone who can soak lethal is immune to damage from anything less than totemic)
21:08 <Vneef_Vala> ( Actually, it's anything less than 11-15. And guess what I'm at. )
21:08 <Xuyiko> (It still looks angry. :<)
21:08 <Vneef_Vala> ( Anyway... the shelves are blooming. Are the BOOKS okay? )
21:08 <Xuyiko> ("They better be!")
21:08 *Vneef_Vala leads Xuyiko back to the warehouse, once again at a brisk walk.
21:08 *Scarlet_Snow* Seras is poking me. Should I tell her you'd like time to think about it?
21:08 <BrilliantRainST> (the shelves absorbed the brunt of the damage.)
21:09 *Xuyiko doesn't do anything special to they get to the warhouse. When they do, she looks inside. "A warehouse? This is where Laral took you?"
21:09 <Scarlet_Snow> (Beware the librarian.)
21:09 *>Scarlet_Snow<* tell her she is at the top of the list, but I'm not totally sure I have an opening yet.
21:10 <BrilliantRainST> As you cross the courtyard, there seems to be a military unit returning.
21:10 <Vneef_Vala> "Inside. There's a staircase leading upwards. Snow and Laral are within." Vala stands well back, to let Xuyiko through safely.
21:10 <Vneef_Vala> ( Gee, I wonder if they'll notice the GREEN SHININESS. )
21:10 *Xuyiko goes up the staircase. Her only response? A blush redder then Snow's hair.
21:12 *Scarlet_Snow* Done. Thanks!
21:12 <BrilliantRainST> Some of the people seem to have noticed you and are running over
21:12 <Xuyiko> She hasn't even opened the door yet. She sees it though the hole in the door. "Snow? What are you doing?"
21:13 *Vneef_Vala turns to face them, still veiled. ( The door is still locked. :P )
21:13 <BrilliantRainST> Up the staircase is a room that seems to be a cross between a socerer's lab and a BSDM chamber
21:13 <Scarlet_Snow> "I'm decent, if that's what you're worried about," Snow says absently, finishing touching up her pinky.
21:14 <Xuyiko> "He's all tie- You're- You-" :|
21:14 <BrilliantRainST> (I thought you were still naked?)
21:14 <Scarlet_Snow> (Snow recovered what was left of her dress and put it back on last session.)
21:14 <Xuyiko> ("Oh, my top? Silly me, I forgot.")
21:14 <Scarlet_Snow> (Her dress may be damaged, however. Specifically the top.)
21:15 <Xuyiko> (How damaged is the door?)
21:15 <Scarlet_Snow> "Is something wrong, mistress?" Snow says, looking up from her nails and giving Xuyiko the most warm, enticing smile the Air-Aspect has ever seen. Or it would be if she weren't half-naked in bed with a tied up man.
21:15 <Xuyiko> "You're /barely/ decent...What would your father say he if saw you like that?"
21:16 <BrilliantRainST> (lol)
21:16 <Scarlet_Snow> "He'd tell me it's my own fault for putting myself in the situation," Scarlet Snow says, her smile slipping.
21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> "He doesn't approve of what I do."
21:17 <BrilliantRainST> the dorr has a large enough hole bashed in it to allow entry
21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> "You will, however."
21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> "Once you see the evidence here."
21:17 <Xuyiko> "...Oh. Well..." She goes through the remains of the door. "I'm sorry." Xuyiko looks at the papers she has. "What are those?"
21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> "Take a look." She waves the records at Xuyiko.

21:17 <BrilliantRainST> the dorr has a large enough hole bashed in it to allow entry
21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> "You will, however."
21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> "Once you see the evidence here."

21:17 <Scarlet_Snow> "Take a look." She waves the records at Xuyiko.
21:18 *Xuyiko takes them, and reads though them. She sets the papers down on the bed, and hugs Snow. "Great job!"
21:18 <Vneef_Vala> ( Fanservice! )
21:19 <BrilliantRainST> (and if you need a reminder of what's in the papers and desk, scroll up)
21:19 <Xuyiko> (Snow: Ms.Fanservice. Xuyiko: Innocent Fanservice Girl. I have a Raksha like level knowledge of tropes.)
21:19 <Vneef_Vala> ( What's Vala? :3c )
21:19 <BrilliantRainST> (heh.)
21:19 <Xuyiko> (Vala's Poison Ivy, and the new slave is Harley.)
21:20 <BrilliantRainST> (It is worth noting that none of those papers say where the artifacts are. He must have some other hiding place, aside from this chamber)
21:20 <Scarlet_Snow> "Mmmm, we couldn't have done it without you, mistress," Snow says, returning the hug.
21:20 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...I'm fairly certain the Harley position is taken. )
21:20 <Xuyiko> "...No...I didn't really help..."
21:20 <Scarlet_Snow> "We couldn't have gotten close enough if you hadn't been convincing."
21:21 <Scarlet_Snow> "Give yourself some credit. It wasn't bad for your first time, was it."
21:21 *Scarlet_Snow 's smile grows.
21:21 <Xuyiko> "...I guess. Anyway! We're done here?" She let's go of Snow.
21:21 <Xuyiko> (Heeeeeeeeeeeeey. I see what you did there. :|)
21:22 <Scarlet_Snow> "Nearly done."
21:22 <Xuyiko> "..."
21:22 <Scarlet_Snow> "There's the small matter of the artifacts."
21:22 <BrilliantRainST> At this point three figures appear outside the room. Dej, folano, and another Water aspect
21:23 <Xuyiko> "Oh." She notices that Snow still hasn't let go of her. She tries her best to read the notes. "Does it say where they are?"
21:23 <BrilliantRainST> The water aspect looks triumphant "Finally, everything we need to take care of him."
21:23 *Vneef_Vala is meditating quietly in the central courtyard.
21:23 <BrilliantRainST> Dej looks concerned "Is everyone ok?"
21:23 <BrilliantRainST> Folano seems impassive as usual, but it is hard to tell with him
21:23 <Xuyiko> "Yeah, we're fine. Well...I'm not sure if Laral is. Snow, what did you do to him? And don't answer any way I wouldn't."
21:24 <Scarlet_Snow> "I believe we're fine, Lieunteant. However, there's still the matter of the artifacts. Perhaps a little persuasion will do the trick."
21:24 <Scarlet_Snow> "Whatever you wish...mistress." Snow's silver eyes light up as she looks at Xuyiko.
21:24 <Scarlet_Snow> "He fainted."
21:25 <Xuyiko> "Okay." She looks at the Water Aspect. "Can you take it from here? Or do you still require our assistance."
21:25 <BrilliantRainST> Folano: "Simply leave him with me for an hour. I'll obtain the infortmation." He sounds rather creepy
21:25 *Xuyiko isn't going to stop him. Creepy-guy can do what he wants.
21:25 <BrilliantRainST> the Water aspect: "We will do it together, Apprentice Magistrate."
21:26 <BrilliantRainST> they shoo the rest of you out.
21:26 *Xuyiko spins around the best she can, now sitting awkwardly on Snow's lap. "Let's go."
21:27 *Scarlet_Snow slowly, a bit reluctantly lets the smaller woman go, leaving the neatly organized evidence behind.
21:27 *Xuyiko hops off the bed, and Snow, and leaves.
21:28 <Scarlet_Snow> Outside, Scarlet Snow looks for a slave and says, "Do you have something I can wear for the time being?"
21:28 <Xuyiko> (They hand her Laral approved Slave Clothes.)
21:28 *Vneef_Vala continues her quiet meditation in the central courtyard. Lilies are growing in the fountain.
21:28 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...off of their own backs? )
21:28 <Xuyiko> (Maybe! :D)
21:28 <Xuyiko> ("Oh, you're the slave I was talking to ear- why are you topless?)
21:29 <Scarlet_Snow> (Xuyiko's the only one Scarlet Snow's interested in getting clothes off of.)
21:29 <Scarlet_Snow> (And not to wear...)
21:29 <Xuyiko> (:<)
21:29 <Scarlet_Snow> "In the meantime, why don't we meet up with Vala?" Snow suggests.
21:30 <Scarlet_Snow> "We can...debrief." Her eyes slip down the length of Xuyiko's figure and back up again.
21:30 <Scarlet_Snow> Her smile is innocent. Completely innocent.
21:30 <BrilliantRainST> (TOO inoocent)
21:30 <Vneef_Vala> ( *writes Xuyiko/Snow/Vala/Ejava/woobie slave girl/Tai smut* )
21:30 <Xuyiko> "Okay." She's content to follow after Snow. "You don't need to pretend to be my handmaiden anymore, bu the way."
21:30 <Xuyiko> (Xuyiko/Slave smut. They're both to akward to do anything but sit around naked, blushing.)
21:31 <BrilliantRainST> there is a slave sitting about ten yards away from Vala
21:31 <Scarlet_Snow> "Thank you, mistress," Snow says, smiling.
21:31 <Xuyiko> "..."
21:32 *Vneef_Vala pays the slave little mind.
21:32 <Xuyiko> "Oh! Wait! Snow, can you wait here for a moment?"
21:33 <Scarlet_Snow> "If you wish." Scarlet Snow crosses her arms over her breasts and waits, patiently.
21:34 <Xuyiko> (That's probably the most well covered her breasts have ever been.)
21:34 *Xuyiko runs off. A short time later, she comes back with the slave girl in tow. "I felt sorry for her." She looks at the slave. "I hope you don't mind."
21:35 <Scarlet_Snow> "Is she yours, then?" Snow asks, curious.
21:35 <BrilliantRainST> (you have found a slave Snow, you could have her go get you a shirt)
21:36 <Xuyiko> "Not yet, but I'm hoping I can get her."
21:37 *Vneef_Vala remains silent. It is an unnecessary gesture, but it is Xuyiko's busuiness, not hers. She just watches the lilies bloom.
21:37 *** Cathak_Dejanira (~HellCatZe@MagicStar-B3C026BB.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined this channel
21:37 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Sorry! sorry!]
21:37 <Cathak_Dejanira> [I ended up closing I needed the sleep]
21:38 *Xuyiko looks at Snow's chest. She looks at the slave. "Can you please go find Snow a shirt for me?" She smiles sweetly.
21:38 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Update plz?]
21:38 <Scarlet_Snow> "I see." Scarlet Snow looks intently at Xuyiko and says, "What a compassionate one you are." She looks at the slave and her smile turns into a smirk. "You'll have a very kind mistress. But first, could you find a top for me?"
21:39 <Xuyiko> (We caught Laral, we're wrapping up. I think Dej is still in the Rapechamber with Folano and the unconcious Laral.)
21:39 <Vneef_Vala> ( Stuff happened. Laral is being interrogated. We are out in the central courtyard, relaxing. )
21:39 <Xuyiko> (Hah hah I read that as "could you top for me")
21:39 <Vneef_Vala> ( also, reminder - compassion = breast size )
21:39 <BrilliantRainST> (well, you just got back to the manse, and the three girls seem to have located the bad-guy's evil rape room, so between that, his papers, and the thief you brought back, he it totally out of power now. The Magistrates are interigating him to find the artifacts)
21:39 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...I wonder how that is affected by having a compassion specialty )
21:39 <Xuyiko> (I thought it was essence = breast size?)
21:39 <Vneef_Vala> ( Essence helps. )
21:39 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Dejanira is compassion 3..what does that make her?]
21:39 <Xuyiko> (Your bust looks bigger when using the specialty.)
21:40 <BrilliantRainST> (just like the groin in the valor chakra, the chest is the compassion chakra)
21:40 <Xuyiko> (Oh god my Wendsday game has a Valor 5 Lunar. D:)
21:40 <Scarlet_Snow> (Xuyiko: Snow would be asking Xuyiko to top for her. From the slave, all she wants is a top.)
21:41 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Can i play with the girls?]
21:41 <Scarlet_Snow> (Sure, come on in!)
21:41 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Wewt!]
21:41 <Cathak_Dejanira> [*posts*]
21:41 <Xuyiko> (Unless you think you're more useful in the interogation, but I think Folano has it covered.)
21:41 *Vneef_Vala is sitting on the ledge of the courtyard fountain, her anima fully flaring. She's watching lillies bloom in the fountain.
21:42 <Cathak_Dejanira> [He dosent like the way I do interrogations, besides i'll probably just end up taking longer for him to get me up to speed than just chillaxing with you guys]
21:42 <Xuyiko> (Exactly. Come on in.)
21:42 <Scarlet_Snow> While they wait, Scarlet Snow takes Xuyiko's hand like a school-girl friend would and guides her over closer to Vala.
21:42 <Vneef_Vala> ( not TOO close, I hope )
21:43 <Vneef_Vala> ( Unless this is a scene transition. )
21:43 *Xuyiko blushes, and tries to pull her away. "I don't think it's a good idea to get too close to Vala."
21:43 <Scarlet_Snow> "I wasn't intending to, mistress. You fret too much. It'll give you lines. I don't want to see any more of this dress ruined anyway."
21:43 <BrilliantRainST> (and Dej is there with them so feel free to talk)
21:44 *Xuyiko relaxes a bit, and allows herself to be led. "Okay..."
21:44 *Cathak_Dejanira The Cathak did not look well having excused herself from the interrogation, her hands were clenched into fists, beneath those gloves-her knuckles were whitened, the bronze complexion of the woman was pallid, she looked almost..fragile as she made her way down the steps, the slight wind teasing at her short hair and pulling at her clothing she gave out a shuddering breathe. "He's a Monster...".
21:44 <BrilliantRainST> (anima wise, you have had two scene transitions since you activated)
21:45 <Vneef_Vala> ( Oh, okay, I'm good. )
21:45 <Vneef_Vala> ( ... )
21:45 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Mn?]
21:45 <Vneef_Vala> ( "...Snow, my anima has died down enough that you, and your possessions, should not be at risk. Why is it still shredding your dress?" )
21:45 <Xuyiko> (Heh.)
21:45 <Scarlet_Snow> ("Because I'm just that good.")
21:46 <Scarlet_Snow> "Dejanira, come here. You poor dear, you look positively white."
21:46 <Scarlet_Snow> Scarlet Snow almost holds up an inviting arm before realizing it'd expose her rather ample, and amply exposed, bosom.
21:47 <Vneef_Vala> ( "...I see." ) "...Interrogation not going as well as you'd hoped, Dejanira?" It's the first thing she's said since leading Xuyiko to Laral.
21:48 <BrilliantRainST> the slave comes back with a shirt. (Snow, make a cha+soc roll for the slave to have gotten you the kind of shirt you wantred)
21:48 <Cathak_Dejanira> [whats the satrap's name again? I know i keep on asking it it was..Ragara....LK something?]
21:48 <BrilliantRainST> (Laral)
21:49 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Laral! thanks]
21:50 *** Xuyiko (~Edward@MagicStar-5E07EF80.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has quit (Ping timeout)
21:52 <Scarlet_Snow> (Doh.)
21:53 <BrilliantRainST> (.....)
21:53 <Scarlet_Snow> !roll_ww 8 7 ex
21:53 <The_Lady> Scarlet_Snow invokes the Lady...
21:53 <The_Lady> 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 9, 10
21:53 <The_Lady> rolled 8d10. Got 3 Successes against a TN of 7, 10's are counted double
21:53 <Scarlet_Snow> (3 for the shirt!)
21:53 <Cathak_Dejanira> "It's going well Just..The Things he's done.., He's a Monster- I saw all of those scraps of fabric, bits of hair."She shuddered her arms winding about herself, glancing towards Snow , and Vala " Did you find the artifacts? Is this what's considered a successful mission?"
21:54 *>Scarlet_Snow<* Feel free to describe the top however you want
21:54 *Scarlet_Snow* Okay.
21:55 *Scarlet_Snow smiles, genuinely happy to see such a fine garment. It's made of dyed white cotton but threaded along the shoulders with gold and hemmed with more gold thread. It's not her favorite kimono but it would do.
21:56 *Scarlet_Snow promptly takes the top and puts it on...exposing herself to anyone who happens to be looking in her direction at the moment.
21:56 *Cathak_Dejanira looks very apperciative
21:56 <Scarlet_Snow> Once properly 'settled in', Scarlet Snow says, "I'm so sorry, Dejanira. At least we've gotten what we needed. We don't know where the artifacts are yet, but we will."
21:56 <Scarlet_Snow> "In the meantime, we have enough evidence on him to incriminate him no matter what."
21:57 *Vneef_Vala is not looking in Snow's direction. "The target is captured. As are his records. Finding the artifacts is a matter of time."
22:00 <Cathak_Dejanira> "This is my first mission with the Eye, his traitorous actions towards the Guild were not his only action to weaken the Realm, he was giving them the pearl shipments to use the local banditry as fall-men for his...tastes." nodding slowly at Vala "Are you both..okay?" She questioned looking between Vala and Snow.
22:00 <Scarlet_Snow> "Really now. My, my, Laral, you *are* such a naughty boy. No help for it but a little punishment."
22:01 *Scarlet_Snow sighs wistfully, then perks up her smile for the other Fire-Aspect. "Never better, dear."
22:01 <Vneef_Vala> "He was taken down before he had the opportunity to do anything particularly damning."
22:02 <Scarlet_Snow> "I don't know, I found his taste for decoration pretty damning, didn't you?"
22:02 <Vneef_Vala> "...Particularly damning to /us/."
22:03 *Scarlet_Snow smirks.
22:03 <Cathak_Dejanira> "I do not know what the Dragon's have seen in him, I hope his next reincarnation is just as respulsive as his attitude is..Perhaps a flea." She sighed, idly chewing her lip, yet looking pleased at Snow's apparent wellness "I'm glad you both are unharmed- I'm..glad i was with Folano..I don't think-If i was there, their would be anything left to interrogate."
22:05 <Scarlet_Snow> (Afk for a minute)
22:07 <Vneef_Vala> "I find the Empress' justice preferable. Less paperwork."
22:11 <Cathak_Dejanira> She seemed to muse upon that for a moment, and then nodding slowly "This is my first mission with the Eye, But I was run through orientation, basic procedure..The filing system."She rolled her eyes "My mother thought it could be a better fit for me than the Legions."
22:12 <Vneef_Vala> ( Um. Slave. Right there. )
22:12 <Cathak_Dejanira> [I thought they left]
22:13 <Vneef_Vala> ( And returned. )
22:13 <Vneef_Vala> ( With a shirt. )
22:13 <Vneef_Vala> ( But whatever~ )
22:13 <Vneef_Vala> ( ...need sleep T_T )
22:13 <Cathak_Dejanira> [..didn't they leave after giving the shirt?]
22:14 <BrilliantRainST> (they can have. however, don't worry. if they talk, you can kill'em)
22:14 <Vneef_Vala> ( Xuyiko wouldn't like that. )
22:14 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Yomiko Readman?]
22:14 <BrilliantRainST> (I was hoping Xuiykio would be back, but...)
22:16 <BrilliantRainST> It is at this point that the other water aspect comes out and approaches you "I am Magistrate Ledaal Joumae. Thank you for bringing this discrase to justice. We have acertained the location of the artifacts and they will be dealt with properly."
22:17 <BrilliantRainST> "As for our Ex-Satrap, after we ensure that he hasn't mislead the retrival team he will be taken back to the Realm and given to the Empresses's justice."
22:18 <Vneef_Vala> ( Fun fact - about 100 of the remaining 150 Solars are with the Cult of the Illuminated. )
22:19 <Scarlet_Snow> (Scary.)
22:20 <Scarlet_Snow> "There'll be justice enough," Scarlet Snow says. "He'll get what the Magistrates give him. The Empress gets what she's owed. And we...made it all happen."
22:20 <Scarlet_Snow> The crimson-haired Fire Aspect looks at her companions and grins. "And no one had to sleep with anyone to do it, either. Not bad in a day's work."
22:21 <Cathak_Dejanira> "No thanks is needed, the Realm is weakened by such men-and disgraced even more so, We simply did our duty, I would ask the fate of the thief, that I brought in for questioning?" She queried delicately towards the Magistrate.
22:21 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Really that many?]
22:21 <Vneef_Vala> "It did not go precisely as planned... but it worked out for the best." ( Yes. Really. )
22:22 <Vneef_Vala> ( At a bare minimum, 75, and that's a very conservative estimate. )
22:22 <Cathak_Dejanira> [I guess they have a very good marketing divison]
22:23 <Vneef_Vala> ( Yes, their main marketing campaign is called "Come With Us And The Wyld Hunt Won't Kill You." )
22:23 <Vneef_Vala> ( It's surprisingly effective. )
22:24 <BrilliantRainST> "As he has given evidence and was promised your protection, I was planning on exiling him and his band from all Realm territories on pain of death."

22:23 <Vneef_Vala> ( Yes, their main marketing campaign is called "Come With Us And The Wyld Hunt Won't Kill You." )
22:23 <Vneef_Vala> ( It's surprisingly effective. )
22:24 <BrilliantRainST> "As he has given evidence and was promised your protection, I was planning on exiling him and his band from all Realm territories on pain of death."
22:24 <BrilliantRainST> (any other loose ends?)
22:25 <Vneef_Vala> ( Just Xuyiko's maid, but that's something between you and Kalga. )
22:25 <Cathak_Dejanira> "Perfectly acceptable, Thank you Magistrate Ledaal." She said bowing with her hands, fist meeting her open palm. " I thank you for allowing me to keep my word-The Threshold will deal with him, I am certain."
22:25 <Scarlet_Snow> (Yeah, I think we're good.)
22:25 <Scarlet_Snow> (Other than how we're getting back home, how long it'll take, etc.)
22:27 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Once I figure out Dejanira's henchmen's specialities she'll probably have a 'driver' ]
22:28 <BrilliantRainST> (The TV show never said how they managed to sneak behind the iron curtin or go from Washington to South America in minutes, so why should I?)
22:28 <Vneef_Vala> ( *makes grabby motions at precious XP, needs to buy some sort of weapon* )
22:29 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Obviously Via Montage]
22:29 <Cathak_Dejanira> [Or a fade to black]
22:30 <BrilliantRainST> (and, if anyone was wondering, Laral found a secret depository after he dealt with some bandits who were using the wall as part of a shelter, never knowing it wwas actually a secret door that could only be opened by a dragon.)
22:30 <BrilliantRainST> (anyway, I declare the session over.)
