Back to Dragons of Earth And Sky

FrivYeti (8:12:16 PM) has entered the room.
willcoon (8:12:23 PM) has entered the room.
Moonsword134 (8:12:26 PM) has entered the room.
FrivYeti (8:12:38 PM): Good evening.
Moonsword134 (8:12:53 PM): Good evening, Your Malignance.
willcoon (8:13:16 PM): Malignificence!
Moonsword134 (8:13:45 PM): No, no, malginance is the opposite of benevolence.
Moonsword134 (8:14:05 PM): You know, the cardinal virtue of the bastard GM?
willcoon (8:14:09 PM): friv is pretty maleficent
Moonsword134 (8:14:10 PM): That's malignance.
willcoon (8:14:15 PM): that's what we pay him for!
FrivYeti (8:14:19 PM): I think WillCoon's on the ball this time.
Moonsword134 (8:14:23 PM): You're paying for this?
Moonsword134 (8:14:26 PM): Loser.
Moonsword134 (8:14:27 PM): :P
willcoon (8:14:30 PM): well
willcoon (8:14:39 PM): pay with our ... demands?
Moonsword134 (8:14:40 PM): You're a freakin' john is what you are?
willcoon (8:14:46 PM): we can pay you in demands, right, Friv?
Moonsword134 (8:14:52 PM): Friv is your RP whore?
FrivYeti (8:14:58 PM): You can give it a shot...
willcoon (8:15:03 PM): that'd be pretty sweet
FrivYeti (8:15:05 PM): I'm more like an RP pimp.
willcoon (8:15:09 PM): er
willcoon (8:15:12 PM): yeah
willcoon (8:15:13 PM): and the concepts
willcoon (8:15:16 PM): are prostitutes
willcoon (8:15:19 PM): ...?
Moonsword134 (8:15:19 PM): I'm not getting paid for this, either.
FrivYeti (8:15:22 PM): Pimping out my ideas for fun-profit.
Moonsword134 (8:15:49 PM): Except I'm not paying you in fun, I'm paying you in sarcastic commentary.
Moonsword134 (8:15:51 PM):
FrivYeti (8:16:21 PM): That's fun.
willcoon (8:16:29 PM): discarded ideas turning tricks on the mean conceptual streets of the internet in order to pay for their bandwidth addictions?
Moonsword134 (8:16:47 PM): ...Will, get out of my plot notes for Werewolf.
FrivYeti (8:16:47 PM): Oh dear, this is getting worse fast.
Moonsword134 (8:16:59 PM): I have a house cat and I'm not afraid to use it!
willcoon (8:17:19 PM): awwwww~!
FrivYeti (8:17:27 PM): As a pimp?
Moonsword134 (8:17:34 PM): As a weapon.
Moonsword134 (8:17:53 PM): Pull her tail and hold her up to your stomach - instant evisceration.
FrivYeti (8:18:15 PM): Ah.
Moonsword134 (8:18:27 PM): Not that I would ever pulls Sparkles' tail, she's a cute widdle furry psychopath.
willcoon (8:18:33 PM): poor kitty!
Moonsword134 (8:18:45 PM): Like I said, I'd never do that to her.
Moonsword134 (8:18:51 PM): She's crazy enough already.
Moonsword134 (8:18:53 PM): <.<
willcoon (8:19:04 PM): hehe awww
FrivYeti (8:19:05 PM): *laughs*
Moonsword134 (8:19:15 PM): The cat needs to be sedated. The damn "I'm in the venetian blinds!" trick gets old at 6 AM in the morning, kitty!
willcoon (8:19:49 PM): haha
willcoon (8:19:56 PM): for you, mayb...
willcoon (8:19:59 PM): (e)
Moonsword134 (8:22:26 PM): Dakura spotting!
FrivYeti (8:23:10 PM): Any ideas where he might be? *fingers crossed*
Moonsword134 (8:23:19 PM): He's online.
Moonsword134 (8:23:22 PM): He just popped up.
FrivYeti (8:23:47 PM): So he is.
willcoon (8:24:24 PM): o-o
Wakoid2 (8:24:25 PM) has been invited.
Moonsword134 (8:24:40 PM): Hey, Friv, you're from Canadia, right, that big freezer in the north?  :P
FrivYeti (8:25:04 PM): That I am. ;_
FrivYeti (8:25:08 PM): Erm,
Moonsword134 (8:25:24 PM): Yes, I know damn well how it's spelled.
Moonsword134 (8:25:29 PM): That was deliberate.
Moonsword134 (8:25:42 PM): Anyway, did they teach you probability theory in grade school?
Wakoid2 (8:26:05 PM) has entered the room.
Moonsword134 (8:26:20 PM): Evening, Dakura.
Wakoid2 (8:26:25 PM): eyo
FrivYeti (8:27:02 PM): I believe so, yeah. Might have been middle school.
FrivYeti (8:27:05 PM): Evening, Dak.
willcoon (8:27:09 PM): hi~~!
FrivYeti (8:27:13 PM): But I think it was Grade 4 / 5.
Moonsword134 (8:27:25 PM): Okay, so the Canadians are decently intelligent.
Moonsword134 (8:27:29 PM): What about you, WC?
willcoon (8:27:44 PM): er
willcoon (8:27:47 PM): nope
Moonsword134 (8:28:02 PM): They didn't teach you basic probability?
Moonsword134 (8:28:04 PM): Huh.
willcoon (8:28:24 PM): not really... possibly as part of Algebra
willcoon (8:28:37 PM): but not at any length
Moonsword134 (8:28:42 PM): Oh, and I think I just found two things from Skippy's List that should probably apply to Valeria:
Moonsword134 (8:28:49 PM): In conjunction with the Lynx issue, at least.
Moonsword134 (8:28:50 PM): 86. May not challenge anyone in my chain of command to the “field of honor”.
87. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.
FrivYeti (8:29:05 PM): Skippy's List?
Moonsword134 (8:29:19 PM): http://skippyslist.com/?page_id=3
Moonsword134 (8:29:22 PM): It's funny as hell.
willcoon (8:29:52 PM): yay!
willcoon (8:30:03 PM): ooh, moonsword, what's that above it?
FrivYeti (8:30:08 PM): Ahhh, cool.
Moonsword134 (8:30:41 PM): Ft. Bragg?
Moonsword134 (8:31:10 PM): I'm not sure but I think one of our Army Rangers went nuts and sniped someone.
FrivYeti (8:31:41 PM): Yikes.
FrivYeti (8:32:53 PM): Incidentally, my interwebs is being slightly finicky, so if I vanish, give me a few moments.
Moonsword134 (8:34:06 PM): Ah, here we go.
Moonsword134 (8:34:09 PM): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kreutzer_Jr.
Moonsword134 (8:36:30 PM): Fun stuff, that.
Moonsword134 (8:36:32 PM): <.<
FrivYeti (8:36:56 PM): Double yikes.
willcoon (8:36:59 PM): o-o
willcoon (8:37:16 PM): i also might vanish for a short period, but not due to internet - due to The Dog
FrivYeti (8:37:55 PM): Fair enough.
FrivYeti (8:38:12 PM): And depending on how this scene goes, it may be a shortened session. We'll have to see...
FrivYeti (8:39:06 PM): Speaking of which, do we want to get this crazy party started?
Moonsword134 (8:39:17 PM): *thumbs up*
Wakoid2 (8:39:57 PM): -thumbs diagonally inverted throu the 5th dimension-
Moonsword134 (8:40:12 PM): ...show off.
FrivYeti (8:40:14 PM): ((So, what's the battle plan, precisely?))
Moonsword134 (8:40:22 PM): ((Skein?))
Moonsword134 (8:40:30 PM): ((Valeria is along for moral support, mostly.))
willcoon (8:41:20 PM): ((Skein's planning to talk to Lynx alone, with the others waiting nearby, within Awareness+Perception range))
willcoon (8:42:16 PM): ((all goood?))
Moonsword134 (8:42:26 PM): ((Sounds fine.))
Wakoid2 (8:43:32 PM): ((I look forward to seeing the plan go mushroom-shaped))
willcoon (8:43:46 PM): ((impossible!!!!))
Moonsword134 (8:44:28 PM): ((I assure you, when I eventually wind up cratering Lynx's skull with by Really Big Stick, 'mushroom' is going to be wrong comparison. 'Smashed watermelon' would be a better choice.))
Wakoid2 (8:44:41 PM): ((Did you make the appropriate sacrifices to Murphey?))
FrivYeti (8:44:48 PM): ((Makes sense.)) That evening, Skein finds Lynx in the process of overseeing the raising of proper fortifications to replace the early ones in the camp.
willcoon (8:45:26 PM): "Commander." Skein glances around. "I was wondering if I might have a word with you?"
FrivYeti (8:46:02 PM): Lynx nods, looking over to Skein. "In private, Master Skein, or is here alright?"
willcoon (8:46:42 PM): "I would prefer a private conversation. I do not wish for my concerns to be openly aired."
willcoon (8:47:32 PM): "Perhaps if we could speak in your tent..?"
FrivYeti (8:47:43 PM): Lynx nods, and gestures for Skein to follow her, leading the way back to her tent. "Of course, Master Skein."
FrivYeti (8:48:12 PM): Once inside, she takes a seat and motions for him to do the same. "What did you want to speak to me about?"
FrivYeti (8:48:31 PM): ((Valeria and Tiger, how are you planning this? Just loitering near the tent?))
Moonsword134 (8:48:57 PM): ((I think so, yeah.))
willcoon (8:49:07 PM): "Well, Commander Lynx... I have certain concerns about the direction of our mission."
willcoon (8:49:45 PM): He is covering up his nervousness about breaching the subject quite well, perhaps because of Lynx's calming and trustworthy presence.
willcoon (8:51:10 PM): "You know of the reputation of this Yukong, do you not?"
Wakoid2 (8:51:28 PM): ((well, I'd be trying to at least keep out of immediate sight, just in case Lynx looks the right way or someone comes by.))
FrivYeti (8:51:34 PM): Lynx raises her eyebrows slightly, then nods. "I know some things about it, yes. What parts of his reputation are you concerned of?"
willcoon (8:52:48 PM): Skein looks uncomfortable. "It's not his reputation itself that concerns me, it's how it's been received."
willcoon (8:53:40 PM): "... Essentially, it's a matter of what emphasis our mission will be placing on the proper practice of the Faith."
FrivYeti (8:55:07 PM): Lynx frowns slightly. "We are simply opening diplomatic talks."
Moonsword134 (8:55:17 PM): (('"...and, therefore, I need to ask you something. Are you really some kind of nympho-slut when you get around Immaculate true believers? 'cause if you are, I've been
Moonsword134 (8:55:22 PM): reading the most interesting books lately on Anathema practices..."))
Wakoid2 (8:55:54 PM): ((-smacks Valeria upside the head and shushes her-))
Moonsword134 (8:56:07 PM): ((That was me, not Valeria.))
FrivYeti (8:56:17 PM): "Any discussion of proper practices we can save for the priests to discuss."
Moonsword134 (8:56:29 PM): ((Valeria doesn't have my low, nasty sense of humor.))
Wakoid2 (8:56:37 PM): ((fine. -smacks Moon upside the head, etc...-))
Moonsword134 (8:57:31 PM): ((Please don't, I already have a mild headache.  :P ))
willcoon (8:57:31 PM): "... Commander. I believe there are some who consider Yukong's faith to be a ... difficulty in our negotations."
willcoon (8:58:25 PM): "This isn't an easy subject to bring up...."
FrivYeti (8:58:25 PM): ((Go for a Manipulation + Presence roll.))
willcoon (8:58:59 PM): "This is why I wanted to be on that mission... I need to know, if it comes down to it... where do our loyalties lie? To the Haven, or to the Faith?"
FrivYeti (8:59:31 PM): ((2-die stunt.))
willcoon (8:59:35 PM): ((err one sec))
OnlineHost (9:00:05 PM): willcoon rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 3
onlinehost (9:00:17 PM): willcoon rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 2
willcoon (9:00:26 PM): ((why do I keep messing that up?!... ))
willcoon (9:00:38 PM): ((oh right... I can't see when I get it right, 'cause I'm using MEebo...))
Moonsword134 (9:01:02 PM): ((//roll-sices10-dice#))
OnlineHost (9:01:13 PM): willcoon rolled 11 10-sided dice: 2 3 9 10 7 5 4 6 9 4 8
Moonsword134 (9:01:25 PM): ((I count 6 successes.))
Wakoid2 (9:01:32 PM): ((so does I))
willcoon (9:02:06 PM): ((yaaay!))
FrivYeti (9:02:24 PM): Lynx looks truly disturbed at Skein's comments. After a few moments, she speaks. "I... I did not consider there to be a seperation."
FrivYeti (9:03:17 PM): She frowns slowly. "The Haven is founded on the Faith, and the Faith supports the Haven. General Yukong's ... interpretations... notwithstanding, it is not our place to consider otherwise."
FrivYeti (9:04:04 PM): "Our place is to try and open negotiations with all neighbouring nations, no more or less."
FrivYeti (9:04:23 PM): ((Feel free to also roll Perception + Investigation.))
Moonsword134 (9:04:27 PM): ((Oh, yay, theocracy. Rah, rah...))
OnlineHost (9:04:47 PM): Moonsword134 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 5 3 3
Moonsword134 (9:04:52 PM): ((Nope. nada.))
willcoon (9:04:55 PM): Skein droops inwardly at this magnificent occurence.
FrivYeti (9:04:58 PM): ((Of course it's a theocracy. It's the Realm!))
Wakoid2 (9:05:14 PM): ((-snikkers-))
Moonsword134 (9:05:28 PM): ((Yes, but I can hope that getting on with the day-to-day business of surviving had knocked some sense into the Scarlet Haven.))
willcoon (9:05:30 PM): But he's in this, and he's going to follow it through.
willcoon (9:05:50 PM): She's /hiding/ her treachery. She must be.
Wakoid2 (9:05:50 PM): ((moon, reroll. you did d6s))
OnlineHost (9:06:06 PM): Moonsword134 rolled 4 10-sided dice: 6 9 1 8
FrivYeti (9:06:08 PM): ((Valeria and Tiger aren't really close enough to sense lies.))
willcoon (9:06:14 PM): And he WILL make her pay for crossing him.
FrivYeti (9:06:16 PM): ((They're more at "yelling" range.))
willcoon (9:06:22 PM): ((Channeling conviction if possible))
Moonsword134 (9:06:24 PM): ((Skein, what the hell are you doing?))
Wakoid2 (9:06:42 PM): ((he's rolling to see if he really believes her))
FrivYeti (9:06:51 PM): ((1-die stunt.))
Moonsword134 (9:07:00 PM): ((No, he's not. He's assuming he knows the answer.))
Wakoid2 (9:07:08 PM): ((that was a stunt))
OnlineHost (9:07:17 PM): willcoon rolled 11 10-sided dice: 3 1 1 8 1 10 3 2 1 7 3
willcoon (9:07:24 PM): ((that's Conviction!))
Moonsword134 (9:07:44 PM): ((Wow.))
willcoon (9:07:56 PM): ((???!))
Moonsword134 (9:07:58 PM): ((Be glad we don't subtract botches from the success total.))
Moonsword134 (9:08:09 PM): ((4 successes... and four nat 1's.))
FrivYeti (9:08:21 PM): As far as Skein can tell, Lynx is actively avoiding considering his argument, in favour of her own preconceptions.
willcoon (9:08:32 PM): ((wow. ... -_-))
FrivYeti (9:08:35 PM): She just doesn't want to think that Yukong's faith could be a problem for Scarlet Haven.
Moonsword134 (9:08:36 PM): ((Yeah.))
Moonsword134 (9:09:02 PM): ((Oh, the first defense of the hidebound - refusal to consider rational thought.))
Moonsword134 (9:09:04 PM): ((Yay.))
Wakoid2 (9:09:10 PM): ((well, in a way that's a good thing... means she isn't deliberately favoring it for that reason))
Moonsword134 (9:09:25 PM): ((Maybe, maybe not.))
Moonsword134 (9:09:44 PM): ((She's refusing to consider the notion - that implies she's either neutral or that she favors it.))
Wakoid2 (9:10:06 PM): ((but at least it isn't maliciously willful))
willcoon (9:10:11 PM): "But Commander.. surely you must see that there could be those whose disagreement with Yukong's faith could jeapordize an alliance?"
Moonsword134 (9:10:26 PM): ((Probably.))
FrivYeti (9:10:58 PM): Lynx's voice turns frosty. "I would prefer to think that no one in my command would put their own prejudices above the safety of the Haven."
FrivYeti (9:11:10 PM): "If anyone feels otherwise, you can tell them that."
FrivYeti (9:11:19 PM): ((Dramatic irony!))
Moonsword134 (9:11:38 PM): ((Or a deliberate smokescreen to disguise an agenda.))
willcoon (9:11:46 PM): Skein is unable to hold himself back any longer.
willcoon (9:11:52 PM): "Don't you think I feel the same way?!
Moonsword134 (9:11:57 PM): ((It's possible, at any rate, but I'm not feeling paranoid.))
Moonsword134 (9:12:02 PM): ((Yet.))
Wakoid2 (9:12:19 PM): ((I think we're stuck, people... we can't proove anything with this... and what the hell is Skein doing now?))
willcoon (9:12:31 PM): "Which is why if it could happen it needs to be /dealt with!/"
Moonsword134 (9:13:00 PM): ((...attempting to get Valeria to hit him, maybe? I dunno.))
willcoon (9:13:33 PM): ((+irony))
FrivYeti (9:14:06 PM): Lynx considers for a few moments. "Master Skein, you are a diplomat. I would think that you could smooth any ruffled feathers."
FrivYeti (9:14:21 PM): "If, on the other hand, you have more specific concerns..." She trails off.
FrivYeti (9:14:32 PM): ((brb))
willcoon (9:15:39 PM): (( ... -_--;)
willcoon (9:15:42 PM): ((er, not that winky-smiley...)
FrivYeti (9:18:43 PM): ((back))
Wakoid2 (9:19:05 PM): ((so it would appear...))
willcoon (9:19:08 PM): ((should I roll... temperance.. or something... not to go ahead and voice specific concerns?))
FrivYeti (9:19:48 PM): ((Possibly, yeah.))
Wakoid2 (9:20:14 PM): ((... you damn well better spend Willpower if you're thinking of implicating us! ))
OnlineHost (9:20:55 PM): willcoon rolled 3 10-sided dice: 8 6 3
Moonsword134 (9:21:00 PM): ((If you implicate us, Will, I advise you that I have a great deal of time on my hands and a very malicious sense of humor.))
willcoon (9:21:26 PM): ((what did I roll?))
Moonsword134 (9:21:33 PM): ((1 success))
willcoon (9:22:34 PM): Skein pauses at the edge of a rash decision, and considers.
willcoon (9:23:57 PM): "No, Commander, I do not have any specifics at this time. I simply hoped..." he stops again. "I apologize for wasting your time with this."
willcoon (9:25:31 PM): He turns, and begins to leave. "Only... if it does become a matter of more than 'ruffled feathers'..."
FrivYeti (9:26:13 PM): Lynx sighs thoughtfully. "If you believe that someone is planning treason... well, I would suggest bringing the matter to their superior."
Moonsword134 (9:26:57 PM): ((Technically, what we're considering is mutiny and rebellion against lawful authority, not treason.))
FrivYeti (9:27:23 PM): ((Then no problem! ))
FrivYeti (9:27:34 PM): ((Gah, I have to get rid of smileys again.))
willcoon (9:27:54 PM): Skein smiles a little. "No, I have no such suspicions. I just wanted to make sure you would consider such to be treason."
FrivYeti (9:28:39 PM): Lynx nods. "I would consider any attempt to damage the safety and security of Scarlet Haven to be treason, Master Skein."
FrivYeti (9:35:01 PM) has entered the room.
willcoon (9:35:01 PM) has entered the room.
Moonsword134 (9:35:01 PM) has entered the room.
Wakoid2 (9:35:01 PM) has entered the room.
FrivYeti (9:35:08 PM): Testing...
Moonsword134 (9:35:26 PM): ((We can hear you.))
FrivYeti (9:35:30 PM): ((Victory!))
FrivYeti (9:36:31 PM): ((So, the last thing I saw was 'Lynx nods. "I would consider any attempt to damage the safety and security of Scarlet Haven to be treason, Master Skein."'))
Wakoid2 (9:36:55 PM): ((I didn't see that at all, m'self))
Moonsword134 (9:37:03 PM): ((Didn't see it.))
FrivYeti (9:37:09 PM): ((Fair 'nuff.))
FrivYeti (9:37:14 PM): ((That was my last post.))
FrivYeti (9:39:01 PM): ((Prior to that was just Skein's comment.))
FrivYeti (9:41:48 PM): ((So we'll go from the response.))
Wakoid2 (9:41:56 PM): ((Will is currently AFK))
FrivYeti (9:42:00 PM): 'Lynx nods. "I would consider any attempt to damage the safety and security of Scarlet Haven to be treason, Master Skein."
FrivYeti (9:44:02 PM): ((Ah.))
willcoon (9:48:05 PM): ((okay, sory. back!))
willcoon (9:49:13 PM): He nods grimly. "So would I."
willcoon (9:50:45 PM): If she has nothing else to say, he sweeps out into the camp, and a stormy mien comes over him as he leaves her sight.
FrivYeti (9:51:33 PM): Lynx follows Skein out, heading back to her work and leaving him to head off in a different direction.
Wakoid2 (9:53:22 PM): Errant Tiger, having kept himself out of sight earlier, shook his head and silently began trailing after Skein. When they were far enough from Lynx that it would be safe to talk, he finally
Moonsword134 (9:53:39 PM): Valeria trails after them silently.
Wakoid2 (9:53:51 PM): came out into the open roughly a dozen paces ahead of the diplomat.
willcoon (9:56:07 PM): Skein roils through the camp like a darkening cumulonimbus. He looks up at Tiger, but does not slacken his pace, apparently intending to discuss while he walks.
Wakoid2 (9:57:35 PM): "It seems that we will indeed be heading to Urichos," Tiger said as he began walking.
willcoon (9:59:06 PM): "Yes, indeed it does."
willcoon (9:59:23 PM): ...Is that rain? It doesn't look particularly cloudy. Hm.
Wakoid2 (10:01:48 PM): Tiger shook his head for a moment. "We have no case for arguement about the negotiations with Yukong. Anything further brought up on any of our part is unwarrently insubordination."
willcoon (10:02:26 PM): "Of course. Far be it for me to be insubordinate."
willcoon (10:03:06 PM): There! That was definitely a raindrop! Is a storm coming? It still doesn't look like it...
Wakoid2 (10:05:42 PM): "We move out once preparations are complete," said the Wood-blooded Captain to both of the other Terrestrials. "For better or worse, we have our orders." He moves on ahead to do so himself. The plan having failed to
Wakoid2 (10:05:54 PM): get the results they expected, there was little more to be done.
Moonsword134 (10:06:55 PM): Valeria nods, shrugging.
Moonsword134 (10:07:00 PM): There just wasnt much else to say.
FrivYeti (10:08:07 PM): ((Alright, we should call scene. Next week, we begin with the trip to Urichos with Hailey?))
Wakoid2 (10:08:20 PM): ((hopefully))
Moonsword134 (10:08:20 PM): ((Yeah, I think so.))
FrivYeti (10:08:23 PM): ((I'm sure she'll be happy at the lack of stabbage.))
Wakoid2 (10:08:54 PM): ((actually, with Val it would be more 'thumpage' rather than 'stabbage'))
Moonsword134 (10:09:02 PM): ((Right.))
FrivYeti (10:09:20 PM): ((Alright, I'll call it 3 XP for a short session.))
