First Internet Session
Storyteller: What Pathian sees inside the Temple of the Sunset is a whole lot of dark Pathian: no light at all? Storyteller: None Storyteller: Well, enough to tell that there's a door behind you Storyteller: But that crack doesn't illumate anything Zenleigha: ((i bet it's only lit up at sunset...)) Maylin: *she approaches the others* need further proof we shouldn't be here? Pathian: *shifts back and uses sensory accuity prana* Zenleigha: *makes her way up the temple stairs* Storyteller: ((And Ruby went off looking for Elder Violet)) Endless Chase: Don't be afraid, Maylin. We can handle anything we might find here. Pathian: *that help me to see things?* Storyteller: Not much Zenleigha: ((since he had her sword...)) Storyteller: You can tell you're in a large room, but that's about it Maylin: Jakari....have what happened to me happen to you and you'll be eager to get out too Zenleigha: *grins over her shoulder at May* it wasn't that bad Maylin: *glares at Zen* Endless Chase: The NAme is Endless Chase. Get it right, May. Maylin: The name your mother gave you is Jakari. Zenleigha: *walks over to the door entrance, next to pathian* Storyteller: ((Pathian is inside)) Endless Chase: ((Jekari, actually)) Maylin: ((sorry)) Zenleigha: *where pathian went in Zenleigha: *peers into darkness* Pathian? Endless Chase: The name I have now is not the same. My name was Jekari. Maylin: *sits on the steps, looking out over the city* WHy did you change what you wanted to be called? DIdn't scare enough people at arena? Pathian: *flares anima banner at weak level* Zenleigha: ((can i see him flare his banner??)) Storyteller: The room is in much worse condition than the other one. The bones of dead Dragon Kings lie scattered around the room and about the altar in the front. Like the other altar, it has ancient bloodstains on it Maylin: ((the doors are open?)) Pathian: *no* Zenleigha: ((he opened them)) Pathian: *no* Zenleigha: ((oops )) Endless Chase: *Sits down several feet away from her, one step higher* Because, I am not the same person that I was. Jekari was the cheif hinter of the village. Endless Chase is a humter in Luna's Name now. I am not in the same roll that I was Pathian: *not yet at least* Storyteller: The ubiquitous carvings are still present, but any other decorations are long since fallen to dust Zenleigha: ((hehe ;-) )) Zenleigha: *calls out* Pathian? Can you hear me? Maylin: *laughs lightly* it's ironic, isn't, how much you and I are alike...we both hate ourselves...only you hate the past and I hate the present Pathian: YES? Zenleigha: What does it look like? Zenleigha: Can i help? Pathian: bones Zenleigha: Fun Pathian: lots of bones Zenleigha: *feels along the edges of the door* Pathian: *searches the room* Zenleigha: Any sort of panel like at your tomb? Endless Chase: I do not truely hate who I was. I am ashamed, now, because I let myself be controlled by others so easily then. All it took then to win me over was a word of thanks or praise durring ritual from one of the elders. Pathian: not that ive found yet Storyteller: Nothing major you can find, though there is a stairway behind the altar, just like the other temple Storyteller: No hidden panels or anything Zenleigha: okay, do you mind if i try something? Endless Chase: Now I am so much more than that, as are we all, and the fact that they thought they could still control me in the same manner was not acceptable. Pathian: im going to see if there is anythignin here, ill be back *goes down the stairs* Maylin: this fear of control is intresting to me. Pathian: *anything* Zenleigha: Ok! Zenleigha: ((can i see any symbols on the outside??) Zenleigha: ) Endless Chase: I'm sure it is. Maylin: we aren't better than anyone, if anything we're worse.But I seem to be the only one that feels that way *shrugs* Zenleigha: *flares her anima banner* Zenleigha: *GLOWY* Storyteller: Downstairs are more priest quarters, etc. Much like the last temple, though down here's it's kind of hard to breath Zenleigha: *Crimson and Copper glowy* Maylin: *looks over her shoulder at Zen* we are not going through anymore rings, Zen! Endless Chase: Maylin, we are meant for something grand. We may not yet know what that is, but we must live to our potentials. We can not do so in hiding, or in the bondage of others. Zenleigha: No... but i would like to get into the door.... Storyteller: There are several mummified dragon kings down here Pathian: *hard to breath how? lack of o2? * Storyteller: Judging by the dust, no one has been down here in a long time Pathian: *or just stuffy* Storyteller: The air is musty Pathian: *ok Pathian: * Storyteller: It's not dangerous, just annoying Maylin: something grand...*chuckles* grand...*begins laughing harder, soon it sounds almost mad* Zenleigha: *reaches out and touches an image of the sun on the horizon on the door* Storyteller: ...and nothing happens Zenleigha: Damn Pathian: *anything interesting down here?* Zenleigha: so much for that theory Zenleigha: hmmm Zenleigha: *thinks, pacing infront of the door, glowing* Storyteller has left the room. Storyteller has entered the room. Storyteller: Pathian: Not that you can see. A quick search doesn't reveal anything, and a large search would take hours with all the rooms Endless Chase: *Raises an eyebrow at maylin for a sec, then starts moving, searching the building for any flaws or other such smallish openings.* Storyteller: ((if I get the boot, DON'T SAY ANYTHING UNTIL I GET BACK, please)) Zenleigha: ((we wont)) Pathian: :-P Maylin: *jumps up suddenly and shouts at the top of her lungs* CITIZENS OF RATHUSS! KING ENDLESS CHASE WISHES IT TO BE KNOWN THAT WE, THE HUNTED AND PREVIOUSLY MURDERED ARE MEANT FOR GRAND THINGS! Pathian: *... ... ...* Zenleigha: *speaks in a low, but firm voice* By the power of the unconcored sun, i bid these doors open! *puts her hands back against the door... infusing some essance into her words* Storyteller: Nothing continues to happen Endless Chase: Stupid doors. Zenleigha: *sighs* Pathian: *so from a quick search nothing cool?* Zenleigha: so muc hfor that Storyteller: Pathian: nothing Maylin: *sits back down, still giggling to herself* Endless Chase: ((Do I find any cracks or major flaws in the building anywhere? Storyteller: EC: No. It seems pretty damn solid Pathian: *is there a room that corresponds to the shiny ring room in the other one?* Storyteller: Pathian: there is not Endless Chase: ((No cat sixed holes?)) Pathian: *well crappy* Zenleigha: ((how do we get in??)) Storyteller: EC: No Endless Chase: ((About what time is it? Storyteller: The outside looks like it's in mint condition Storyteller: It will be sunset soon Zenleigha: ((oooo)) Zenleigha: ((*smacks her own hand* bad Jill... no meta gaming..)) Endless Chase: Well, people. If this is really the temple of sus set or something, maybe we can get it to open then. Pathian: *ummm... sunset should have already occured* Endless Chase: *Sits down to wait* Storyteller: (O?)) Pathian: *yeah Zenleigha: You think? Pathian: *me in shadow form* Zenleigha: *puts her hands on her hips* Pathian: *sun has set* Storyteller: ((...right. It's an hour after sunset :-[)) Pathian: *:-P* Zenleigha: ((oops)) Maylin: *is finally calm again. She removes her tiara and finger combs her hair* Zenleigha: ((so were the doors suppose to swing open at sun set??)) Storyteller: ((Good question)) Pathian: *goes to the opposite end of the hall from the staricase and does a thurough search there Endless Chase: *yells at the door* Oi! Pathian! Anything in there of note? Pathian: *if nothing then he does one more thurough search ar the stair end of the hall* Zenleigha: He haddn't found anything the last i checked other than skulls and bones Zenleigha: *pats EC on the shoulder* Maylin: well Endless chase has dinner then Storyteller: Pathian: Nothing. Just bones and a lot of dust Endless Chase: Pathian! When you come out, bring out a few of the bones! I want to get a look at them! Zenleigha: *rolls her eyes at may* play nice with the other kids, especially if we're going to bother to save their asses Maylin: You can save people that are useful to you, but you don't have to be nice to them Pathian: *anything that looks unnatural about the way the bones are arranged? like a predator ate them or are they just skeletons?* Zenleigha: I like to be nice to the ones that can tie me up and hang me from the tops of temples..... *lets her voice teasingly trail* Endless Chase: *Pats Zen on the shoulder* At least she hasn't cut me up pretty good with razor sharp bits of black stone THREE TIMES!!! Storyteller: It looks like they're just lying where they fell Storyteller: [[ThThey]] aren't disturbed at all Maylin: Zen, it's happened so often all I get from it now is a headache Maylin: *replaces her tiara, her curls looking a little neater now* Zenleigha: *rolls her eyes in his direction* Well, oh buddy oh pal... if you weren't such a gung-ho glory hog it wouldn't be a problem Zenleigha: *grins innocently* Storyteller: *Foam starts laughing quietly to himself* Endless Chase: Well, if it makes you feel any better, May, I don't plan to do that any more. Pathian: *gives up and goes back upstarirs* Maylin: only slightly...there are worse things you could do Zenleigha: *turns to the Fae* Do you know how to get into this place? Storyteller: *he shrugs* "I haven't a clue." Zenleigha: well then... hmm Endless Chase: Well, it's not like razor cuts hurt for more than a few seconds. And it's not called Glory Hogging, it's called Valor. Pathian: *how are the bones arranged up here?* Zenleigha: *raspberries him* it's not Valor if you don't have the common sense to stand back a moment and let me do my thing Maylin: I would think Valor would also constitite recognizing your fellow's strengths Zenleigha: *nods decisively* Storyteller: It looks like they died in the middle of some ceremony. They're roughly in a semi circle around the altar, with a small circle closer in Endless Chase: Getting double teamed is hardly fair. Storyteller: *Foam continues laughing* Zenleigha: Sure it is... you've handled both of us at the same time before Zenleigha: *grins wickedly* Endless Chase: But then again, I've allready proven once that I'm man enough to take both of you at the same time *Seductive wink* Zenleigha: ((haha beat you to it)) Maylin: oh, don't make me sick Endless Chase: ((Mine was longer in a smaller font. I feel justified)) Zenleigha: ((hehe whatever :-) )) Endless Chase: True, May. At least you didn't jump back in. Pathian: *anythign about the altar thats significant?* *aside from being an altar?* Pathian: :- Pathian: :-P Maylin: had it been my choice I would not have at all Zenleigha: *shrugs* what? last time i checked it was an acceptable way to pass the time Zenleigha: and May... i need not remind you of that summer i walked in on you two.... Storyteller: It has an image of a man, dressed in golden armor, with four arms on it. He is carven in such a manner that the blood would pool over his mouth Maylin: *keeps her comment to herself* Zenleigha: *smiles, satisfied* Endless Chase: Well, thankfully all I got from you was the sex. From Zen I got a daughter. Zenleigha: thankfully?! Maylin: *gives Zen a rude gesture* Zenleigha: *hufs* Pathian: *takes a knife and cuts his hand, allows the blood to pool in the altar* Maylin: well yes, a child from us would have killed everyone else Zenleigha: *turns her back and looks out into the night* Storyteller: Pathian: Nothing happens. Judging by the murals, it might take more than blood to constitute a proper sacrifice Zenleigha: *strokes oynx's hair* Zenleigha: you shouldn't say things like that in front of your daughter Maylin: Zen, he was happy the child was yours, not mine...that's all he was saying Storyteller: Onyx: Mama! Maylin: *looks at EC hintingly* Endless Chase: ... Storyteller: Onyx grabs Zen's hair Zenleigha: *smiles down at her, kissing her lightly on her forhead* Endless Chase: Hmm...I don't think I can dig myself out of this one... Zenleigha: Gentile,dearest Storyteller: Onyx: Mama! Storyteller: *tug tug* Maylin: of course you can, you would have hated a child from me, right *screws up her face in frustration* Pathian: *rock* *uses the last of his rapidly dwindling essence pool to pour more blood into the altar* Zenleigha: Is something wrong dear? what is it? Endless Chase: I don't hate any of my daughters. Maylin: but you would have hated a child from me, isn't that right, Endless Chase Endless Chase: I don't hate Zen, and I most definitly don't hate Ruby. Zenleigha: *wrinkles her brow* Storyteller: "Mama!" *smiles* Zenleigha: *Smiles* Storyteller: "Wuv!" Endless Chase: No, I wouldn't have. I just may not have loved her mother. Storyteller: *tug tug* Zenleigha: *hugs her child close to her * Zenleigha: I love you too Maylin: *gives up with a groan* Storyteller: Pathian: The blood pools in the hollow, and it slowly starts to vanish. Pathian: *... and...* Storyteller: ...and nothing happens. Pathian: *... well fuck* Maylin: do you think he's all right in there? Pathian: *and now im stuck here* Zenleigha: ((damnit all) Endless Chase: ((Must...have...gemstone...of...enterance...)) Zenleigha: good question Endless Chase: ((No you're not. You just need to wait three minutes to change into a shadow again, not a full night.)) Endless Chase: ((Break out your night castebook)) Pathian: *im out of essence* Zenleigha: ((that would do it)) Pathian: *so im stuck for a while* Endless Chase: Well, then you're stuck for another hour Pathian: *yep* Maylin: *shouts to the door* Pathien! Are you dead? Zenleigha: So how do you think mama should open the big bad door sweetie? Pathian: im fine! Zenleigha: *strokes Oynx's deep black hair* Maylin: Just checking! Anything good? Endless Chase: If Ember was here she'd find a way in. Pathian: not that ive found Zenleigha: Obviously Maylin: no she wouldn't *grins wickedly* Zenleigha: but she's with her mother, where she belongs Maylin: that would be using her powers in public.... Zenleigha: *looks to may* Zenleigha: do you see anyone else around? Endless Chase: That was not a good thing you did. Storyteller: Onyx: wuv! *points to door* Endless Chase: She'll recover, I assume. Maylin: according you there aren't many good things I do, what's one more? Zenleigha: *walks over to the door, facing it* Zenleigha: love? Pathian: *so since ive got some time on my hands, i go back downstairs and check the other rooms down there Zenleigha: what are you trying to show mama? Endless Chase: One too many. *Stern face* Storyteller: Onyx: "dat!" *points to door* Zenleigha: *puts onyx close to the door* touch where you want to show mama Maylin: *sighs* lecture on. *looks at him expectingly* Pathian: *anything in the rooms?* Storyteller: Pathian: A more thorough search of the room reveals some old food containers, and a lot of decayed plant matter Storyteller: Onyx: *pokes a picture of a Dragon King* Dat! Endless Chase: *He walks up to her* Zenleigha: *looks at the picture* Pathian: *... oh boy* Zenleigha: ((can i get a description??)) Endless Chase: Just be nice, Maylin. Zenleigha: what do you think that is? *holding her daughter close to her again Zenleigha: * Maylin: [insert suspensful string music here as the CHILD gets close to the temple doors...] Storyteller: It's a picture of a Dragon King, his arms raised in homage to the setting sun. Around him several other acolytes bow as one Maylin: be nice? Why? Storyteller: Onyx screws up her face. She's obviously concentrating very hard Maylin: I don't recall a fond greeting when you meet up with me again Zenleigha: *waits paitiently* Storyteller: Onys: "Dagwon!" Zenleigha: Dragon? Endless Chase: You know what, Maylin? I'm done. Just done. Once more, and that will be the last. *walks off* Zenleigha: *sighs* I told you to play nice with the other kids Maylin: welcome to my world, Endless Chase! Storyteller: *Onyx curls her fingers into claws and starts poking the door* Maylin: I did play nice, I just asked why Maylin: he did the same thing and we gave him a city Zenleigha: *shrugs* Zenleigha: it's alright. it's not like he's a father to Oynx anyway Endless Chase: *Walks up to Zen and Onyx* What's this now? What do you think, little one? Zenleigha: i suppose if he leaves we'll get along like before Zenleigha: *turns abruptly* Zenleigha: I thought you were leaving? Maylin: here is where I make my exit....*heads down the stairs* Storyteller: Onyx: *poke poke* Endless Chase: ((Away from Maylin)) Zenleigha: *pokes where her daughter poked* Storyteller: Onyx: *click* Pathian: *nothing else in the basement level? Zenleigha: like this? Storyteller: Onyx: eep! Zenleigha: oh! Zenleigha: i think you found something dearest! Storyteller: A small panel in the front of the door opens up, revealing a spherical depression Endless Chase: What the... Zenleigha: *kisses her head* Well done Storyteller: Pathian: Nothing else that you can find Zenleigha: *looks closely at the depression* Pathian: *back up the stairs* Maylin: *is about halfway down the stairs by now* Zenleigha: May! Storyteller: ((The doors aren't open...)) Zenleigha: I think we found a way in! Storyteller: ((oh, I see)) Storyteller: As near as you can tell, it's a perfectly smooth, hemispherical depression Endless Chase: What is it? Maylin: *stops, sighs and makes her way back up* now? HOw long have we been looking at that damn door? Zenleigha: *looks back at the picture* Zenleigha: *looks at the depression* Zenleigha: It looks like a recepticle Maylin: here, let me take Onyx so you can focus on that Zenleigha: *nods* She did wonderfully, didn't you my little love? Storyteller: Onyx: Wuv! Zenleigha: *kisses her on the cheek before handing her to May* Maylin: *smiels as she takes her* that was very good of you...such a smart girl...that must be your mother's doing Zenleigha: *feels along the depression, using sensory acuity prana* Storyteller: As near as you can tell, it is perfectly smooth Zenleigha: ((do i smell anything, or sense anything??)) Storyteller: ((You do not)) Zenleigha: hmm Maylin: *to anyone watching, while she's watching onyx Maylin looks more human suddenly... more like she did before she Exalted* Zenleigha: It looks like they worshiped here Zenleigha: May, i need my dagger Storyteller: Onyx: *tubs Maylin's hair* Storyteller: *tugs Maylin: *giggles* good grip *hands Zen the weapon* Endless Chase: ((Currenlty looking at the depression in the pannel)) Pathian: *drops into a meditative position ammongst the bones of the DK's* Pathian: *meditates to regen essence quicker* Zenleigha: *takes it, slicing gently across her hand, infuses about 5 motes of essance into her blood and chants* By the Setting sun, I bid these doors open Zenleigha: *lets her glowy-infused blood drip into the depression* Storyteller: Onyx: Wuv! Storyteller: ...nothing happens Zenleigha: damn... Zenleigha: *licks at the wound* Endless Chase: I think I hate these damn doors. Zenleigha: we're getting somewhere at least Maylin: *smiles again, ignoring what's going on behind her* Storyteller: *tug tug* Endless Chase: *Yells* Pathian! Hurry up and get back out here! We're sick of this place! Zenleigha: *turns around, wrapping a piece of gause over her hand* Maylin: ow...okay enough of pulling Auntie May's hair, thank you *dislodges her little grip gently* Zenleigha: Oynx, Darling come to mommy *holds out her arms* Maylin: okay go on! *gives her to Zen* Endless Chase: Next time you think you need some blood, Zen, let me know. I heal up alot faster than you do. Zenleigha: I'm a big girl Storyteller: *Onyx stares up at Maylin with huge black eyes for a moment before she is placed back in Zen's arms* Zenleigha: *holds her child on her hip, heading back over to the depression* Zenleigha: so little bitty one, what do you think? Maylin: *shakes her head, recovering her cold exterior and turns her back again to look at the city* Storyteller: Onyx is silent now. She closes her eyes and goes a little limp Endless Chase: Oi! Pathian! you there? Zenleigha: *panics* Zenleigha: Oynx?!? Storyteller: Onyx: *snore* Zenleigha: *sighs* oh, just sleeping Maylin: *whips back around at hearing the little girl's name, then relaxes* Zenleigha: *smiles* Maylin: don't panic like that, Zen *steps back quickly so no one sees she might have actually been worried* Zenleigha: I think she might have the right idea,* lowers herself against the temple door and begins to meditate with her child in her lap* Storyteller: Time passes... Pathian: *essence regens* Maylin: *stays up, watching out for more hobgoblins* Zenleigha: ((Brb)) Endless Chase: *Lays down on a stair and closes eyes* Wake me up if there's trouble. Maylin: yes my lord Storyteller: Some of the glass towers in the city are glowing slightly, faint shades of red and orange. It's quite pretty Pathian: *regens enough to go shadow* *packs up a few bones(a femur a humerous and a skull)* wibbles *and goes out* Storyteller: You get out Zenleigha: ((back)) Pathian: wibble Maylin: *is looking out over the city, the others asleep on the stairs* Pathian: well that was a pretty large waste of time Zenleigha: *blinks awake* Zenleigha: hi there Maylin: ::looks over her shoulder to him:: nothing? Pathian: bones Pathian: mummies Maylin: *shudders* no thank you Pathian: remains of dinner that havent been touched in centuries Zenleigha: eww Pathian: another altar Maylin: *wrinkles her nose* Zenleigha: *nods* Pathian: no ring Zenleigha: *nods* Maylin: I thought you said there was treasure here Pathian: i didnt Storyteller: Foam: "You aren't the first ones here. All the easy pickings have been picked." Zenleigha: True Maylin: *said as a general statement* Pathian: i barely know anything about this place Zenleigha: me either Endless Chase: *speaks* My memories of it are limited to Ruby's bedroom. It's where Sun's Setting Proposed. Zenleigha: aha Pathian: speeking of ruby where is she? Maylin: she's looking for Elderviolet Zenleigha: Went looking for her sword and the man carring it Zenleigha: before he had gone too far with it *grins* Pathian: :-P Pathian: ok Maylin: *barely covers a yawn* Pathian: i hear you there Zenleigha: we should rest longer Zenleigha: *rocks the sleeping child* Maylin: we don't know of a safe place to rest... Zenleigha: i'm not climbing down those stairs... Zenleigha: why dont we take turns on watch?? Endless Chase: I could get us to the roof of this temple. Endless Chase: It's probably alot safer than ground level. Zenleigha: *nods* Endless Chase: Well, stair level. Zenleigha: why don't we do that? Maylin: *shrugs* if you're up to it Zenleigha: *Stands* Pathian: *collapses* Zenleigha: or not... Endless Chase: *Uses finding the spirit's shape to take spider form, and climbs up, letting silk trail behind* Maylin: *offers a hand to Pathian* come on Pathian: *oi!* *hork* *and stands up* Zenleigha: *grins* thats the spirit *begins climbing up the spider silk* Maylin: oh no.... Maylin: *gestures for Pathian to go next* Pathian: *goes* Endless Chase: *Ties the silk off* Zenleigha: may you can do it Endless Chase: *Climbs back down to help everyone up* Zenleigha: *gets herself onto the roof* Maylin: last time I fell into zombie arms! Zenleigha: ((living in the trees would make her good at climbing)) Maylin: *begins climbing up* Maylin: ((trees and ropes are different things to climb. I can scramble up a tree no issues, but I'm useless on a rope)) Zenleigha: ((we probably had rope ladders)) Endless Chase: *Makes sure nobody falls* Maylin: *at the top she sighs* does anyone want first watch? Storyteller: Everyone gets on the roof Zenleigha: Not Pathian *grins* Pathian: *yar* Endless Chase: *Nods his spidery head* Maylin: I'll keep going on my watch then. Zenleigha: alright, i'll go after you may Zenleigha: *lies down, spreading a shawl under her* Zenleigha: *cuddles oynx close* Pathian: *collapses* Endless Chase: *Shrugs, lays down for sleep* Maylin: *paces, glad she doesn't have to sleep after the bad dreams recently* Storyteller: The others go to sleep, and Maylin stands watch. Endless Chase: ((Does anything happen this night?)) Maylin: ((may doesn't wake Zen for her watch...she stays up all night)) Zenleigha: ((.....rachie..... i wanted to do something! wahh)) Storyteller: She occasionally sees shapes in the glow of the buildings, but nothing that approaches the group Zenleigha: ((i suppose it will have to wait)) Maylin: ((then you should have taken first watch :P)) Zenleigha: ((ahh))
