Friv[8:04:26 PM]: Good times, good times. Friv[8:04:33 PM]: *waves* Allo Moonsword. Moonsword[5:05:02 PM]: Hey, guys. Friv[8:06:50 PM]: What's new? Moonsword[5:07:27 PM]: Not much. Moonsword[5:07:32 PM]: I'll be right back. Moonsword[5:07:52 PM]: I'm trying to do a couple of different things at once and I kind of need to get a second screen set up for your game. Friv[8:08:29 PM]: Cool. *thumbs up* Moonsword Has exited the room Dakura Has entered the room Friv[8:10:06 PM]: Evening, Dak! willcoon[5:10:07 PM]: hey hey Dakura[5:10:24 PM]: eyo willcoon[5:11:00 PM]: M-Swo was here just a second ago Friv[8:11:09 PM]: What's new? Dakura[5:11:05 PM]: howgoes? Friv[8:11:29 PM]: Goes well with me. Imaginaldisc Has entered the room Friv[8:11:51 PM]: Just uploading Dynasty's Shadowed Light Pt. 5 before the session. Imaginaldisc[5:11:47 PM]: Howdies. Dakura[5:11:56 PM]: with me? namuch... been working on my story, Wounded Bird. following that poll of Fallstavia's to see if Blind Thrush actually gets any votes Moonsword Has entered the room Friv[8:12:56 PM]: *nods* WB Moonsword, and hello Imaginaldisc. Moonsword[5:13:08 PM]: So, now we wait on the All Sinister One. Dakura[5:13:32 PM]: even with me voting for him (he's my own char, how can I not?) I'm surprised he has 3 votes Friv[8:14:29 PM]: Which vote is this? Dakura[5:15:11 PM]: it's in the TSP forum area Friv[8:15:36 PM]: Ah, that explains it. I rarely meander in there. Dakura[5:16:02 PM]: Fall is taking a vote on who will be in his next smutfic Friv[8:16:44 PM]: Ahhh. Friv[8:16:59 PM]: *grins* Blind Thrush could certainly make for some interesting writing there. Dakura[5:17:18 PM]: heh. vote for him, then Imaginaldisc[5:17:30 PM]: Ack, too many windows. BBL. Imaginaldisc Has exited the room Friv[8:19:21 PM]: I think that I will! Friv[8:19:48 PM]: Wow, Mechanic's kicking ass. Friv[8:19:53 PM]: Metaphorically speaking. Dakura[5:19:57 PM]: yeah Friv[8:20:13 PM]: I mean, I suppose her name is innuendo right there, so there ya go. Dakura[5:20:17 PM]: heh Dakura[5:20:37 PM]: plus, as was recently commented... people are likely wondering what she can do with 4 arms Friv[8:23:19 PM]: *shakes his head* ;) willcoon[5:23:44 PM]: that reduces multiple action penalties right? willcoon[5:23:59 PM]: even if one isn't specifically using ones arms? Friv[8:24:18 PM]: I would imagine so, yep. Dakura[5:24:16 PM]: -nods- willcoon[5:24:41 PM]: Varied applications! willcoon[5:24:53 PM]: Yes I imagine that would be quite useful Dakura[5:25:15 PM]: it can either add arms, or increase str for attack damage, but both give 1 point of reduction to multiple action penalties per instalation willcoon[5:26:43 PM]: I suppose that would be especially handy for one of those "sex or combat" confusions I hear the TFS boards have so often Friv[8:26:56 PM]: Arms Akimbo! Friv[8:27:18 PM]: To be fair, it's not just The Freedom Stone. Friv[8:27:39 PM]: I mean, have you READ Passion Transmuting Nuance? Friv[8:27:55 PM]: No, wait. willcoon[5:27:47 PM]: well right Friv[8:27:59 PM]: That's the wrong Charm. Friv[8:28:09 PM]: Oh, no, it's the right one. willcoon[5:28:08 PM]: er Friv[8:28:17 PM]: It's just slower than I remembered. willcoon[5:28:17 PM]: I suppose we all fight someone while having sex with them on occasion Friv[8:28:41 PM]: Hey, I saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith. willcoon[5:28:48 PM]: oh brilliant! Dakura[5:28:50 PM]: heh! Friv[8:29:38 PM]: And, for that matter, any number of movies. You'd think the natural end to every screaming match / argument was a passionate kiss. willcoon[5:29:32 PM]: Animatrix has a weird one too willcoon[5:29:38 PM]: if i recall correctly willcoon[5:29:43 PM]: well yeah Friv[8:29:57 PM]: brb Friv[8:32:24 PM]: *returns* Dakura[5:33:32 PM]: indeed Friv[8:34:20 PM]: Alright, if Ambi doesn't arrive in the next ten minutes, we'll start without. willcoon[5:34:10 PM]: emaky willcoon[5:34:15 PM]: *emkay Dakura Has entered the room Friv Has entered the room Moonsword Has entered the room willcoon Has entered the room willcoon[5:38:00 PM]: woah okay that's weird Dakura[5:38:05 PM]: meh? Friv[8:38:14 PM]: Wow. Dakura[5:38:10 PM]: what was that? Moonsword[5:38:11 PM]: *raises eyebrow* Well, that was useful... willcoon[5:38:28 PM]: It's just Ican see myself havign entered/existed Friv[8:38:35 PM]: Excessively odd? willcoon[5:38:33 PM]: ... willcoon[5:38:37 PM]: but nothing happened? Friv[8:38:44 PM]: Well, we're all still here. willcoon[5:39:03 PM]: hm Dakura[5:41:24 PM]: can we really be sure of that? willcoon[5:41:43 PM]: well if someone else was here willcoon[5:41:53 PM]: then the event erased them fromm all history Dakura[5:42:01 PM]: maybe one of us was... 'removed'... and now has an imposter in their place willcoon[5:42:03 PM]: so they were never /really/ here anymore Moonsword[5:42:05 PM]: I can still see you asking if people are here.


willcoon[5:42:12 PM]: that is preposterous Moonsword[5:42:14 PM]: And no, history was not replaced. Moonsword[5:42:17 PM]: I'm a historian. willcoon[5:42:17 PM]: there are NO spiders here willcoon[5:42:19 PM]: none whatsoever Moonsword[5:42:23 PM]: You can trust me. willcoon[5:42:26 PM]: I mean willcoon[5:42:31 PM]: I don't even know what a spider is willcoon[5:42:52 PM]: yeah listen to the historian all is normal Dakura[5:43:02 PM]: it is a little thing with 8 legs willcoon[5:43:32 PM]: as I am not a spider, I did not previously know that willcoon[5:43:57 PM]: and do not intend to inject anyone with my corrosive digestive fluids willcoon[5:44:03 PM]: that would be ridiculous Moonsword[5:45:11 PM]: *smacks willcoon repeatedly with a carp* Moonsword[5:45:16 PM]: Snap out of it! Friv[8:45:38 PM]: *shakes head* willcoon[5:46:18 PM]: moonsword: willcoon rolls 8 10-sided dice. The results are: 2 3 2 1 5 3 3 7 willcoon[5:46:34 PM]: I think that' willcoon[5:46:42 PM]: uh willcoon[5:46:54 PM]: <.< willcoon[5:46:59 PM]: where was I willcoon[5:47:08 PM]: okay AM OKAY now Dakura[5:47:16 PM]: didn't roll high enough on your Int+Soc roll? Moonsword[5:47:44 PM]: ...considering that this is World of Darkness, not Exalted, he _botched_ his Int + Soc roll. Friv[8:48:30 PM]: Alrighty, we'll get started without Ambi, since we're inching towards 9:00. willcoon[5:48:27 PM]: well it was supposed to be dex+melee for carp purposes Friv[8:48:36 PM]: Everybody ready for EXPOSITION? willcoon[5:48:30 PM]: either way willcoon[5:48:41 PM]: GOD AM I EVER Moonsword[5:48:52 PM]: *makes vague motions* Eh, whatever mate. Friv[8:49:03 PM]: ((Remember, the NPC is always completely factually accurate.)) Dakura[5:48:58 PM]: AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Dakura[5:49:02 PM]: yeah, I'm ready Dakura[5:49:15 PM]: ((riiiiight...)) Moonsword[5:49:20 PM]: Yeah... right.. willcoon[5:49:54 PM]: ((I for one expect total faccuracy here)) Friv[8:50:28 PM]: ((So... when we left off, Captain Hadren was making camp with you guys.)) Moonsword[5:50:46 PM]: ((Captain Hadren and the Archons, specifically.)) Friv[8:51:06 PM]: ((Hailey, being a bit uncertain at all of this, will be remarkably quiet, but follow along.)) willcoon[5:51:40 PM]: ((Also: are these guys an appropriate target for Confluence of Savant Thought?)) Moonsword[5:51:53 PM]: ((That sounds a lot like a band name... Captain Hadren and the Archons, I mean, think about it. They could be sold out in Nexus. :D )) Friv[8:53:21 PM]: ((Willcoon: Potentially, but at the moment they're just a military unit.)) willcoon[5:53:19 PM]: ((indeed!)) willcoon[5:53:27 PM]: ((oki)) willcoon[5:53:44 PM]: ((guess i'll hold off til we reach yukong)) Friv[8:54:38 PM]: The night has set, and the stars twinkle in the skies above. Hadren's men have a few small campfires going, as (I presume) do Tiger's. The men don't show any particular inclination to mingle with one another at the moment, though. Friv[8:55:26 PM]: Hadren, for his part, is sitting near the Havenite Exalts. His daiklave is sheathed back on his back, and he is currently cooking some meat and herbs in a small pot that was produced. Friv[8:57:31 PM]: He looks around the group, thoughtfully. "Where should I start...?" Moonsword[5:57:46 PM]: Quietly, faintly, Valeria murmurs, "At the beginning." Friv[8:58:54 PM]: "Easy to say..." Hadren trails off thoughtfully, before nodding and beginning his tale. "Well, let's see. You went into the Wyld about a hundred-odd years before everything changed." You have received a private message. If it does not open in a new window automatically, [Click Here] Delamerik Has entered the room Moonsword[5:59:32 PM]: "Changed?" she whispers. Delamerik[5:59:52 PM]: 'Eya. Friv[9:00:07 PM]: Hadren nods. "Scholars now call it the Time of Tumult. According to reports, it was monstrous." Friv[9:00:12 PM]: ((Yo.)) Friv[9:00:15 PM]: ((How goes?)) Moonsword[6:00:03 PM]: ((Welcome to the madhouse. Don't worry, the nice people in white coast will be along to give you candy soon, Delamerik.)) Delamerik[6:00:28 PM]: (( Har har. :P Sorry 'bout that guys *Silences* )) Friv[9:00:50 PM]: "It started with the dead. They rose from the shadowlands to attack the living. Thorns, Gem, Gethemane... one by one, great cities of the living fell before their advance." Friv[9:01:27 PM]: "Then the Anathema struck. They'd worked alliances with the dead, and as Lunar hordes struck from the edges of the world, the Solar Anathema rose up from forgotten corners to strike at our most vunerable points." Moonsword[6:01:20 PM]: ((Ah, yes, Gem. The only way Gem doesn't get nuked is if the rest of _Creation_ blows up instead.)) Dakura[6:01:28 PM]: "Couldn't the armies of the Realm stop them?" asked Errant Tiger. Friv[9:02:22 PM]: He shakes his head. "The Realm was in chaos. The Empress entered the Imperial Manse to rally her powers against them, and failed to return. For years, the Dynasty struggled to do battle without them, but there were enemies on all sides." Friv[9:02:53 PM]: "The Time of Tumult lasted for ten long years. It ended when the Empress escaped the confinements that the Anathema had placed on her and returned to the Realm." Friv[9:03:57 PM]: "At this point..." Hadren pauses, embarassedly. "Well, no one knows exactly what happened next. There weren't many witnesses." Friv[9:04:31 PM]: "But what is known is that the Empress tried to reach the Imperial Manse again, to turn its powers against the enemies of the Realm, and a veritable army of Anathema tried to stop her." Dakura[6:04:22 PM]: "Weren't many witnesses, or weren't many witnesses left to tell of it?" Friv[9:04:40 PM]: "The latter." Moonsword[6:04:51 PM]: "An army? Of those demons?" Valeria whispers, shocked. Friv[9:05:10 PM]: "Stories say that entire neighbourhoods of the Imperial City were destroyed in single blows, and that devastating sorceries were unleashed against her." Friv[9:05:34 PM]: "But she succeeded." Hadren smiles grimly, now. "She gained access to the Imperial Manse, and she brought its powers to bear. And then..." Friv[9:05:45 PM]: "And then it never turned off." Moonsword[6:05:58 PM]: "Never... turned... off...?" Moonsword[6:06:03 PM]: "What was it doing?" Friv[9:06:30 PM]: Hadren shrugs again. "Some people say the Empress died of her wounds inside the Manse. Others say that this was a deliberate action on her part." Friv[9:06:54 PM]: "Either way, the Manse's energies scorched across Creation, burning the shadowlands away, and shattered the hold the Anathema had on their powers." Friv[9:07:12 PM]: "It is said that a thousand pillars of light rose up into the air that way as their hosts were freed of their influence." Moonsword[6:07:40 PM]: ((So she got the Solar shards in Malfeas, too. _Impressive_.)) Friv[9:08:22 PM]: ((Unless the Solar shards from Malfeas were who was fighting for or against her...)) Friv[9:08:40 PM]: "Since then, there hasn't been a single Anathema seen in Creation. Their power is gone forever." Moonsword[6:08:53 PM]: "Forever... is a very long time..." Valeria whispers. Dakura[6:09:09 PM]: "Does that have something to do with the Sky Dragons you mentioned before?" Friv[9:09:34 PM]: Hadren sits back, nodding. "Indeed." Moonsword[6:10:02 PM]: ((Valeria whps off her mask, revealing herself to secretly be... Chejop Kejak after a sex change operation!)) Moonsword[6:10:08 PM]: ((:b )) Friv[9:10:40 PM]: "In the weeks and months following the activation of the Manse, people began to awaken across Creation with new powers. At first, it was thought that they were the Anathema returned, but though their powers seemed similar, they were far weaker, and lacked the markings of the demonic ones." Friv[9:10:45 PM]: "Allow me to demonstrate, if I may." willcoon[6:10:36 PM]: ((I thought she was the mirror flag? or was that skein...)) Friv[9:11:05 PM]: ((No, Skein is Raksi.)) Moonsword[6:11:43 PM]: ((Yeah, and if you think Valeria's some pansy-ass Chosen of Secrets, think again. :p )) Friv[9:12:17 PM]: Hadren closes his eyes for a moment, and then opens them. A thousand points of soft red light dance within them. A moment later, along his skin, in the same patterns held by the Dragon-Blooded, but instead of glowing elemental sigils, he has hundreds of soft points of light glowing their presence. Friv[9:12:35 PM]: ((*Re-reads that* Oy, terrible formatting on my part.)) Moonsword[6:12:44 PM]: Valeria's eyes widen as she straighten up abruptly. Moonsword[6:12:53 PM]: ((Elemental sigils? We have elemental sigils?)) Friv[9:13:23 PM]: ((When Dragon-Bloods spend small amounts of Peripheral, their breeding marks glow with elemental energy.)) Friv[9:13:33 PM]: ((That is what I was meaning to convey by "elemental sigils".)) Dakura[6:13:54 PM]: ((basically, the 'clues' that hint at his type start glowing, yes?)) Moonsword[6:13:55 PM]: ((My... breeding marks... cover my whole _freaking_ body... man.)) Friv[9:14:22 PM]: ((Well, yes, but that's more of a flaw.)) Delamerik Has exited the room Friv[9:14:30 PM]: ((Dakura: Yep.)) Moonsword[6:14:26 PM]: ((With that rule, Valeria turns into a frigging spotlight after spending like three or four motes.)) Friv[9:14:42 PM]: ((Well, it's a soft glow, not a beacon.)) Friv[9:14:56 PM]: ((It's the Dragon-Blooded equivalent of "glittering castemark")) Moonsword[6:15:39 PM]: ((Well, yeah, but you get the point. I was more seeing her eyes glowing silver-white, maybe some sparkles in her hair. Her skin starts taking on more of the texture of obsidian, that sort of thing. Not just Ms. McGlowsALot.)) Friv[9:16:29 PM]: ((Well, given her odd markings, it could work like that for her. The standard is for the glowing breeding.)) Moonsword[6:17:23 PM]: ((Meh, sure. I didn't think they had "markings" in the same sense as Celestials, that's all. I had it pegged to secondary traits and elemental heightening in the background.)) willcoon[6:17:26 PM]: Skein is... intrigued by this development. Moonsword[6:18:30 PM]: ((Can I make an Int+Occult roll to see if I can recognize anything about the patterns on Hadren's skin?)) Dakura[6:19:10 PM]: "Do the color and patterns mean anything?" Tiger asked, gesturing to the display Hadren had just shown them. Friv[9:19:47 PM]: ((Moonsword: Go for it.)) Svadisatma Has entered the room Friv[9:20:26 PM]: Hadren nods. "The patterns, perhaps. Each of us is different. The colour marks which of the Sky Dragons mark my destiny." Svadisatma Has exited the room Friv[9:20:44 PM]: "I am of the Aspect of War, a defender of Creation set against those from beyond it." Friv[9:21:12 PM]: "There are four other Aspects of the Sky Dragons, each attuned to a different purpose." Moonsword[6:21:19 PM]: "Sky... Dragons...?" Valeria asks, staring at the patterns and trying to discern some hidden logic within them, drawing on the information her father drilled into her as a child. Friv[9:22:13 PM]: "The Immaculate Texts speak of it, in passing. The Anathema stole their powers from the Sky, draining away the great gods therein in a grotesque mockery of the Elemental Dragons of Creation." Moonsword[6:22:22 PM]: ((Friv? Can I make a roll?)) Friv[9:22:48 PM]: ((*nods, points up* Yep.)) willcoon[6:22:39 PM]: ((he has confirmed, yes)) Dakura[6:22:41 PM]: ((... the Maidens, which I assume this actually is from, were known I think... just not worshipped like the Elemental Dragons... so either it's another title of sorts, or... -shrugs-)) Friv[9:22:55 PM]: ((One die stunt.)) Friv[9:23:06 PM]: ((Well, you know how myths alter.)) Moonsword[6:23:00 PM]: ((I don't see you saying yes to it all.)) Moonsword[6:23:05 PM]: roll 7 10 Friv[9:23:19 PM]: ((I said go for it.)) willcoon[6:23:16 PM]: (( / )) Friv[9:23:25 PM]: ((And don't forget the / before roll.)) Moonsword[6:23:27 PM]: ((Hmm... that's odd. I never got that message.)) Moonsword rolls 7 10-sided dice. The results are: 10 5 8 6 5 5 5 Friv[9:23:48 PM]: ((That is odd.)) Moonsword[6:23:47 PM]: ((Three successes.)) Friv[9:25:30 PM]: Hadren smiles, now. "With the Anathema destroyed, that theft is undone, and the powers of the Sky are bestowed again." You have received a private message. If it does not open in a new window automatically, [Click Here] Moonsword[6:26:00 PM]: "And what of us?" Valeria asks softly. Moonsword[6:26:14 PM]: "The blooded children of the Five Dragons?" Friv[9:26:43 PM]: "They remain, although many of the greatest died when the Imperial City was destroyed." Moonsword[6:26:44 PM]: "What became of our kind?" the Terrestrial asks, fearing the specter that they are the last of the Dragon-Blooded. Friv[9:27:08 PM]: Hadren chuckles, then, once. "In truth, you still outnumber our own Exalted four to one. The Terrestrial blood remains strong..." willcoon[6:27:07 PM]: "So you're saying you are Exalted of a dragon kin to the Immaculates?" Moonsword[6:27:20 PM]: "The greatest were merely the oldest," Valeria notes. "In time, their loss could be replaced." Friv[9:27:28 PM]: "Kin to the Elemental Dragons, rather." Moonsword[6:27:44 PM]: ((The Immaculate Dragons _are_ the Elemental Dragons, goof.)) Friv[9:28:02 PM]: ((Actually, they aren't.)) Friv[9:28:09 PM]: ((They're just mortal manifestations of them.)) Friv[9:28:28 PM]: ((There's a whole section on it. ;) )) Moonsword[6:28:23 PM]: ((Well, yes, but they're considered part and parcel of the same being.)) Friv[9:29:13 PM]: ((It's sort of a Jesus and God thing. They both are and aren't the same.)) Dakura[6:29:07 PM]: ((moving on from OOC theological debate...)) Friv[9:29:46 PM]: ((Righto.)) Moonsword[6:29:45 PM]: ((Father, Son, Holy Ghost doing a mutual timeshare. Gotcha.)) willcoon[6:30:21 PM]: "... to the Elemental Dragons, then." willcoon[6:30:30 PM]: "Quite curious." Friv[9:31:13 PM]: Hadren nods. "Here, we have organized into the Arbiters of Fate. Although the Wall that the Imperial Manse raised around Creation is strong, others still slip through the cracks at many times, and our powers seem uniquely suited to fighting those who are not of Creation." Moonsword[6:31:05 PM]: "Were not the Elemental Dragons children of a greater being yet?" Valeria whispers, trying to remember. Moonsword[6:31:14 PM]: "A... mother... of sorts?" Friv[9:31:46 PM]: Hadren shrugs here. "Perhaps. I must admit, theology is not my strong suit." Dakura[6:32:11 PM]: "So this Wall protects from intrusion from the Wyld?" willcoon[6:32:13 PM]: "How beneficient. What manner of Wall is this, then?" Friv[9:33:02 PM]: Hadren gestures. "It is a wall of elemental Essence, stretching around Creation. I have never seen it myself, but some Exalted have ventured deep enough into the Middlemarches to find it." Friv[9:33:22 PM]: "Pockets of Wyld energy still exist within Creation, on this side of the Wall, but they are weaker than they once were." Moonsword[6:33:55 PM]: "Elemental...?" Valeria trails off curiously. "Then somehow, the power of the Five Dragons was awoken..." she muses, shaking her head and turning her attention back to Hadren's story. Moonsword[6:33:55 PM]: "Elemental...?" Valeria trails off curiously. "Then somehow, the power of the Five Dragons was awoken..." she muses, shaking her head and turning her attention back to Hadren's story. Friv[9:34:32 PM]: Hadren nods. "Unfortunately, the secular world did not fare so well as the spiritual after the Empress's passing." Friv[9:35:00 PM]: "When the Imperial City was destroyed, the leaders of all of the Realm's Great Houses were killed with it. With no clear succession, the Dynasty splintered." Friv[9:36:02 PM]: "As it stands, there are dozens of feuding daimyos scattered across Creation. Few have the power to hold more than a few major cities." Svadisatma Has entered the room Friv[9:37:15 PM]: "I don't know how many Dragon-Blooded there are in your legion, but you may be quite the power bloc yourselves." Friv[9:39:51 PM]: He pauses, checking his food, and then ladles it out onto a plate, offering the pot to the rest of the group. Moonsword[6:38:06 PM]: ((...hello?)) Dakura[6:38:06 PM]: ((-pokes the chatroom-)) Moonsword[6:38:11 PM]: ((...is anyone there?)) willcoon[6:38:32 PM]: ((hello? i've seen nothing since 'no fey')) Moonsword[6:38:38 PM]: ((Arrgh.)) Friv[9:40:33 PM]: ((Really?)0 Friv[9:40:37 PM]: ((Can you see this?)) Dakura Has exited the room Friv Has exited the room Friv[9:40:58 PM]: ((Uh-oh.)) Dakura Has entered the room Friv Has entered the room Moonsword[6:40:49 PM]: ((Fey? I didn't see the word fey at all until you said that.)) willcoon[6:40:50 PM]: ((yes)) willcoon[6:41:02 PM]: ((fay rather)) Moonsword[6:41:06 PM]: ((Arrgh!) Dakura[6:41:19 PM]: ((I didn't see 'Fey' or 'Fay' either)) Friv[9:41:47 PM]: ((I didn't see Fey either. Who typed it?)) willcoon[6:41:39 PM]: Friv[6:33:17 PM]: "Pockets of Wyld energy still exist within Creation, on this side of the Wall, but they are weaker than they once were." willcoon[6:41:49 PM]: willcoon[9:33:38 PM]: "So, no Fay on this side of the Wall, then?" Friv[9:42:08 PM]: ((Ah, I didn't get that message.)) Friv[9:42:13 PM]: ((Oy.)) Moonsword[6:42:05 PM]: ((Didn't see you say it.)) Dakura[6:42:12 PM]: ((never saw it)) willcoon[6:42:20 PM]: (( X )) Friv[9:42:38 PM]: ((Alright, I'll reply to that and then repost the rest of Hadren's speech.)) Friv[9:43:00 PM]: Hadren laughs ruefully. "I wish that were the case. No, sadly, there are still fae, but they are weaker than the legends say they once were. Friv[9:43:13 PM]: "Unfortunately, the secular world did not fare so well as the spiritual after the Empress's passing." Friv[9:43:19 PM]: "When the Imperial City was destroyed, the leaders of all of the Realm's Great Houses were killed with it. With no clear succession, the Dynasty splintered." Friv[9:43:24 PM]: "As it stands, there are dozens of feuding daimyos scattered across Creation. Few have the power to hold more than a few major cities." Moonsword[6:43:20 PM]: ((...that's it. I'm going to try and engineer a more stable server if I can. Keep going, I'm still paying attention.)) Dakura[6:43:22 PM]: ((the last thing I had seen was my comment about the pathway to creation only opening a year ago, and then it was silent until Hadren checked the food)) Friv[9:43:30 PM]: "I don't know how many Dragon-Blooded there are in your legion, but you may be quite the power bloc yourselves." Friv[9:43:49 PM]: ((Oh, goddamn it. I didn't get the pathway comment either.)) Friv[9:44:08 PM]: ((Right, we're finding somewhere else to run this next session. This is absurd.)) Dakura[6:44:12 PM]: Dakura[9:37:01 PM]: Errant Tiger frowned as he considered. "The Wall might be what created the passage from Scarlet Haven back to Creation... but that was only a year ago it happened..." Moonsword[6:44:56 PM]: ((*is finding the right software to setup a chat server _right now_*)) Friv[9:45:28 PM]: Hadren considers Tiger's words thoughtfully, chewing on a piece of meat. "Well, the Wyld shifts locations as time passes. Perhaps your city drifted through the Wall, and protected as you were, you did not see it?" Friv[9:45:47 PM]: "Or perhaps another force opened the passage..." Moonsword[6:47:15 PM]: ((brb)) Moonsword Has exited the room Moonsword Has entered the room Dakura[6:47:55 PM]: The Wood-Aspect sighed and shrugged. "I certainly wouldn't know. I learned how to fight what comes from the Wyld, not study it." Friv[9:49:17 PM]: "Regardless, I suppose you'll have to decide what your next course of action is." Moonsword[6:49:27 PM]: ((Yo, favor time: could someone bounce a ping off 160.10.7.108 )) Friv[9:50:02 PM]: ((Checking.)) Friv[9:50:25 PM]: ((Got a time out. Register anything on your end?)) Moonsword[6:50:32 PM]: Valeria shrugs. "We were told to make contact with the Realm once more." Moonsword[6:50:50 PM]: ((No, I didn't notice anything. Point your browser at the following address: Moonsword[6:51:06 PM]: http://160.10.7.108/wiki Friv[9:51:27 PM]: ((*goes for it*)) Friv[9:52:01 PM]: ((Firefox does nothing. Trying IE.)) Friv[9:52:26 PM]: ((Nah, IE can't get in.)) Moonsword[6:52:46 PM]: ((It's being blocked somewhere between my system and yours.)) Moonsword[6:53:19 PM]: ((And it's not my router, either. Moonsword[6:53:48 PM]: ((ITS must have requests directed at on-campus IP addresses firewalled.)) Dakura[6:53:52 PM]: ((I'm not getting anything when I try. just a "cannot find server/page cannot be displayed")) Moonsword[6:54:31 PM]: ((Yeah. That's the problem.)) willcoon[6:55:59 PM]: ((do we all have aim?)) Moonsword[6:56:08 PM]: ((It's being blocked by the campus servers. Damn it.)) Moonsword[6:56:31 PM]: ((Yes.)) willcoon[6:57:13 PM]: ((shall we try that? and could someone/friv post the log up to where people started returning from the alternatue universe? Dakura[6:57:15 PM]: ((lets just continue for now, see if it at least holds)) Dakura[6:57:15 PM]: ((lets just continue for now, see if it at least holds)) Friv[9:58:28 PM]: ((*nods* http://exalted.xi.co.nz/wiki/wiki.pl?FrivYeti/DragonsSessionFive )) Friv[9:58:40 PM]: ((You'll have to hit modify for the log to not look like crap.)) willcoon[6:58:34 PM]: (9thanks)) Moonsword[6:59:22 PM]: ((I'll add break tags tags later.)) Dakura[6:59:37 PM]: ((so we're switching to AIM?)) Moonsword[7:00:16 PM]: ((I'm not sure what we're doing, really.)) willcoon[7:00:27 PM]: ((okay cool that worked)) Friv[10:00:44 PM]: ((All in favour of switching to AIM?)) Moonsword[7:00:52 PM]: ((Aye.)) willcoon[7:01:00 PM]: ((i'm okay with that)) Dakura[7:01:07 PM]: ((I'm fine either way, though I'd prefer to at least try to continue in here)) willcoon[7:01:42 PM]: ((we could try until we hit another wyld storm?)) Moonsword[7:02:16 PM]: ((Good idea, WC.)) Friv[10:03:28 PM]: ((Agreed, then.)) Friv[10:03:51 PM]: Hadren nods thoughtfully in response to Valeria's comment. "That could be difficult, depending on how you define it." Friv[10:04:08 PM]: "Across the Inner Sea, there are still those who consider themselves part of the Realm..." Dakura[7:05:30 PM]: "That's much too far for us to go, just for contact..." Errant Tiger said. "Do they have any outposts or embassies reletively close?" willcoon[7:06:22 PM]: "And who is in charge of this supposed Realm?" Friv[10:07:11 PM]: Hadren considers. "The last time I heard, the Realm considers their leader to be Ragara Jacun." Friv[10:07:31 PM]: "He's a little over two hundred and twenty, so he wouldn't have been born yet when you entered the Wyld." Friv[10:07:49 PM]: "I believe they have an embassy in Cherak, which is only about 8 or 9 hundred miles south of here." Moonsword[7:07:45 PM]: "A cousin of mine, then, it seems..." Valeria muses. Dakura[7:09:27 PM]: Errant Tiger shook his head. "Still too far. Maybe if only a few went they could make the distance in good time, but with all the soldiers under my command..." Friv[10:09:57 PM]: Hadren nods thoughtfully. "Well, there are always the two local daimyos." Moonsword[7:10:16 PM]: "How closely linked are these daimyos to the Realm?" Valeria asks. willcoon[7:10:21 PM]: "And yet, we can't turn back at this point. We should probably continue on to Mela's Blessing for the time being." Friv[10:10:47 PM]: "Well..." Hadren pauses and makes an uncomfortable expression. Dakura[7:10:47 PM]: "More important, how would they likely receive us?" Moonsword[7:11:17 PM]: "Yes...?" Friv[10:11:32 PM]: "Oh, I imagine they'll both be delighted. At first." Zeal Has entered the room Friv[10:12:05 PM]: "Well, Daimyo Yukong considers the Realm to be dangerously degenerate and lacking in proper understanding of the Immaculate ways." Moonsword[7:11:53 PM]: "At first?" Valeria probes. Friv[10:12:47 PM]: He pauses. "Look, I can't give much in the way of advice about Yukong. In my experience, he's a power-mad fanatic without the common sense I would ascribe to a leek." Zeal[7:12:40 PM]: ((Oh, there's a game in here. Didn't realize.)) Moonsword[7:12:46 PM]: "A fanatic. Lovely," Valeria hisses under her breath, barely audible. Dakura[7:12:56 PM]: ((feel free to watch)) willcoon[7:12:57 PM]: "I see. And what do you think, then? Where lies your order's allegiance?" Friv[10:13:13 PM]: ((Indeed, hang around.)) Moonsword[7:13:08 PM]: ((Eh. Feel free to watch.)) Friv[10:13:20 PM]: Hadren's laugh is harsh. Zeal Has exited the room Dakura[7:13:21 PM]: "And the other Daimyo?" willcoon[7:13:45 PM]: "I see. We'll have to be careful with him, then." Friv[10:13:52 PM]: "Yukong has publically stated that he considers the Arbiters to be "stealing Exaltations from their true recipiants". Friv[10:14:03 PM]: "He considers us Anathema, and has standing orders to kill us on sight." Friv[10:14:20 PM]: "Never mind how that's even possible..." He mutters the last under his breath. Moonsword[7:14:34 PM]: "And how, exactly, would someone manage to steal an Exaltation from a being kin to the Elemental Dragons?" Valeria says doubtfully. willcoon[7:14:44 PM]: "It certainly would be an impressive feat..." Friv[10:15:23 PM]: "Damned if I know." Hadren shrugs. "Yukong's attempts to breed himself an army of Dragon-Blooded aren't working, possibly because he doesn't actually have anyone worthy of BEING a Dragon-Blooded, so he reaches for excuses." Friv[10:15:29 PM]: "We are... convienient." Friv[10:15:39 PM]: "As for Urichos..." Friv[10:16:09 PM]: "Daimyo Urichos has little love for anyone with more might than himself." Friv[10:16:17 PM]: "However, he is friendly enough aside from that." Moonsword[7:16:24 PM]: "Are these Daimyos Exalted?" Moonsword Has exited the room Friv[10:16:53 PM]: Hadren nods. "Yes, and both have been Exalted since before the Wall rose." Friv[10:16:59 PM]: ((You there, Moonsword?)) Friv[10:18:14 PM]: ((ARGH.)) Jaito Has entered the room willcoon[7:18:35 PM]: (( X = | ))) Moonsword[7:19:04 PM]: ((*poke*)) Dakura[7:19:05 PM]: ((well this is just lovely...)) Jaito[7:19:07 PM]: ...I'm watching you peeeeeeeee... Friv[10:19:33 PM]: ((Can you read us, Moonsword?)) Jaito[7:19:32 PM]: or not Friv[10:19:40 PM]: ((You sort of vanished off our screen.)) Jaito[7:19:35 PM]: Sup, dooders? Friv[10:19:51 PM]: ((Welcome to the GAME DISASTER 2007!)) Friv[10:20:00 PM]: ((The chat is being excessively odd tonight.)) Jaito[7:20:04 PM]: ...eep. Something's going on... Moonsword[7:20:36 PM]: ((*poke*)) Jaito[7:20:42 PM]: My apologies. Off I go Dakura[7:20:51 PM]: ((can you hear us, Moon?)) Jaito[7:19:32 PM]: or not Friv[10:19:40 PM]: ((You sort of vanished off our screen.)) Jaito[7:19:35 PM]: Sup, dooders? Friv[10:19:51 PM]: ((Welcome to the GAME DISASTER 2007!)) Friv[10:20:00 PM]: ((The chat is being excessively odd tonight.)) Jaito[7:20:04 PM]: ...eep. Something's going on... Moonsword[7:20:36 PM]: ((*poke*)) Jaito[7:20:42 PM]: My apologies. Off I go Dakura[7:20:51 PM]: ((can you hear us, Moon?)) Friv[10:21:15 PM]: ((Hey, feel free to stay.)) Jaito Has exited the room Friv[10:21:26 PM]: ((We keep scaring folks off...)) Dakura[7:21:35 PM]: ((no, just you do that)) willcoon[7:21:49 PM]: ((no response by pm)) willcoon[7:22:46 PM]: ((we should migrate to aim, moon's on there and can't see us here)) Friv[10:23:06 PM]: ((Agreed.)) Dakura[7:23:27 PM]: ((sighs, and starts up the program)) Dakura Has exited the room Friv[10:24:43 PM]: See you in AIM.

Moonsword134 has entered the room. FrivYeti: This is ridiculous. Moonsword134: Yes, yes it is. WillCoon has entered the room. WillCoon: H'okay FrivYeti: Dakura's logging on, and then we can resume. FrivYeti: Without explosions. Moonsword134: Hopefully. Moonsword134: Sorry I couldn't find a more useful solution. FrivYeti: Don't think AIM does dierolling, though, does it? Moonsword134: Unfortunately, ITS likes to block things. Moonsword134: *makes vague grasping motions as if choking someone* FrivYeti: Everyone have a White Wolf login? We can use the WW Exalted dieroller. FrivYeti: Also, the chat log on the wiki has been updated through the latest insanity. WillCoon: hehe FrivYeti: Gah, that's an atrocious smily. FrivYeti: I must never use that again. Moonsword134: It looks fine from here. WillCoon: er I don't think I have one of those Moonsword134: Of course, it helps that I'm not actually using AIM. Moonsword134: ^_^ FrivYeti: You lucky bastard. Moonsword134: Try Trillian. FrivYeti: It's this horrible animated winking... thing. Moonsword134: Yeah, I'm not seeing that. Moonsword134: Fortuantely. FrivYeti: Last time I tried Trillian, it exploded violently across my desktop. Moonsword134: Wow. Moonsword134: I've never seen it do _that_ before... Moonsword134: I'd suggest GAIM but that doesn't like group chat. FrivYeti: There. Graphic smileys are off. FrivYeti: *tests* ;) Moonsword134: Good man. FrivYeti: Hahah. FrivYeti: Now, where's Dak gotten to? Moonsword134: ...the deep, dark recesses of the evil AIM universe? FrivYeti: Apparantly. FrivYeti: *sighs* FrivYeti: brb Moonsword134: Hmm... maybe this will work... Moonsword134: brb FrivYeti: *returns* Moonsword134 has left the room. Moonsword134 has entered the room. FrivYeti: wb WillCoon: -_- FrivYeti: Yay! Everything's working PERFECTLY. WillCoon: <.< WillCoon: >.> Moonsword134 has left the room. Moonsword134 has entered the room. WillCoon: '_ FrivYeti: Perfectly. Moonsword134: No, this is on my end, this time. WillCoon: totally no spiders Moonsword134: I was trying to see if I could get something to work by diking the router out of the loop but it didn't. Moonsword134: So... should we call it at the decision time? FrivYeti: Ooh, private message from Dakura! Moonsword134: Dakura! FrivYeti: His AIM program is screwy, and he is reinstalling. Moonsword134: Wherefore art though, Dakura! FrivYeti: *weeps softly* FrivYeti: Seriously. Gods hate us. FrivYeti: Anyway, I said we'd wait around and see how that goes before vanishing. Moonsword134: That's because you aren't stroking it right, Friv. FrivYeti: *is idly wondering how the game would have gone if it had been as planned* ((The plan being for Daimyo Yukong to "explain" what's going on instead of the Arbiters.)) Moonsword134: Given what we've heard, Yukong might have tried to force us, especially Valeria, into a breeding program. Moonsword134: That would _not_ have gone over well, either. Moonsword134: (I don't think anyone else has dots in Breeding, which is why I think he'd be more interested in her than anyone else.) FrivYeti: Well, you'll have to wait and see what Yukong thinks, if you decide to head in that direction. FrivYeti: Dakura's Wakoid, right? Moonsword134: Dunno. Wakoid2 has entered the room. FrivYeti: Well, let's hope my funny memory is good. WillCoon: \o/ FrivYeti: I mean, I've only got you four on my AIM list anyway. Moonsword134: Is it a Dakura or do I need to go find some more napalm? Moonsword134: The other guy's body's starting to make my bedroom smell like gasoline-soaked roast pork... Moonsword134: ^_^ Wakoid2: I AM THE MIGHTY DAKURA! TREMBLE BEFORE ME! Wakoid2: or, y'know, don't Moonsword134: Kill it! Kill it with fire! Moonsword134: Fire! Moonsword134: Fire fire fire fire fire! FIRE! Wakoid2: sorry. I've decided to be a fire-aspect now. fire doesn't work FrivYeti: Alright, shall we try to get back ICish? Moonsword134: /me has _really_ been drinking from the weird-shit-sauce today. Moonsword134: ((If you insist, my master.)) FrivYeti: ((So, we left off with "Urichos has little love for those stronger than him, but is friendly enough.")) FrivYeti: ((And that both Daimyos are Dragon-Blooded who were alive before the Wall came up.)) FrivYeti: ((*pokes*)) Moonsword134: ((*has no further reaction at this time, is waiting for others' responses*)) WillCoon: "That is interesting. We'll have to be careful, but they could prove useful." Wakoid2: ((-is trying to fix a stupid problem with his laptop's touchpad...-)) WillCoon: "Now, as to your own organization, where is it located? You are allied neither with the daimyos nor the 'realm'?" FrivYeti: Captain Hadren nods, finishing his food. "Well, it varies from area to area. The Arbiters are a sort of Wyld Hunt, except that instead of hunting Anathema, we mostly fight the fae, and occasional demons that slip FrivYeti: through the cracks of the world." FrivYeti: "In some areas, whenever possible, this means co-operating with daimyos, without joining them." FrivYeti: "We're understood to be non-political." FrivYeti: At this, he chuckles. "That said, nowhere near all the Dragons of the Sky are Arbiters. Maybe a third or so." FrivYeti: "The rest have joined political organizations and generally entered Dragon-Blooded society." Moonsword134: "Then perhaps we would do well to contact your organization," Valeria says, frowning. Moonsword134: "What do you think?" she asks, turning to the other Dragon-Blooded. WillCoon: "Indeed. The Arbiters vouching for us is sure to deflect potential suspicion." FrivYeti: Hadren smiles wryly. "With many. It will also make you instant enemies with others." FrivYeti: "Yukong, for example." Moonsword134: "From what you've said, Captain, it seems there is little we could do to avoid such a fate in any case." WillCoon: Skein shrugs. "Certainly, but he doesn't need to know we have your approval." Wakoid2: Errant Tiger looked at Hadren. "What might we expect in the way of support, if we did form an alliance with the Arbiters? What could be done for Scarlet Haven?" FrivYeti: "There is that." The captain leans forwards, thinking intently. "Well, we would have to map the region around your town. Depending on how secure it is, we could either set up patrols and trade routes, or evacuate FrivYeti: the population into a more stable part of Creation." FrivYeti: "We could also help set up a line of communication to the Realm. I'm sure they would be happy to have you back." FrivYeti: "And they _do_ speak with us, if a bit diffidently." WillCoon: "Assuming they are still acceptable as representatives of the Realm." Moonsword134: "Are they friendly to the Arbiters, then?" Valeria asks. FrivYeti: "Well... neutral." Moonsword134: "And, yes, there is the question of how the Realm has changed in the time we've lost..." Valeria notes. FrivYeti: "They don't trust us, because we haven't sworn allegiance to them. But we do work that they want done, so they grudgingly allow us passage."

FrivYeti: "As for the changes... well, I wasn't alive back then. You'll have to judge that for yourself." Moonsword134: "None of us were, either." FrivYeti: "Fair enough." WillCoon: "There are many possibilities, here. We stand at a crossroads." Wakoid2: "I'd rather not deal with Yukong. From the sound if it, if we aren't found in favor of his interpretation of the Immaculate Way, we're likely to end up in a bad situation with Wakoid2: him anyway," Errant Tiger said. FrivYeti: Hadren looks around thoughtfully. "Indeed. This is certainly not what I expected to find when I rode out here. If I might ask, how large _is_ your legion?" WillCoon: "As for the other Daimyo?" Moonsword134: "I'd just as soon not deal with fanatics in any case," Valeria mutters darkly. Moonsword134: "Most of our forces remained behind in Scarlet Haven," Valeria offers in response. Moonsword134: ((Just how big is our Legion, anyway?)) FrivYeti: ((Dakura was just asking that. 10,000 citizens, including 2,500 soldiers and 27 Dragon-Blooded.)) Wakoid2: "Scarlet Haven has a population of about 10,000 men and women. Roughly a quarter of these are full time soldiers, and there are 27 Children of the Dragons, ourselves Wakoid2: included." FrivYeti: Captain Hadren Marell successfully chokes on air. WillCoon: Skein raises an eyebrow. FrivYeti: After a moment, he catches his breath and stares at the company, wide-eyed. "Ten THOUSAND?" Wakoid2: "Is something wrong?" Errant Tiger asked, concerned. Moonsword134: "I'm impressed," Valeria replies. Moonsword134: "Yes...?" Wakoid2: "Yes... I think that was the last survey report on the population..." Moonsword134: "It sounds right to me," Valeria tells Tiger, shrugging. FrivYeti: "You... there..." There is a short pause, as he gathers himself. "I'm sorry, it's just that you've been referring to yourself as the remnants of a Legion. I thought that there might be a few hundred, FrivYeti: with most of your Dragon-Blooded... well... here." WillCoon: "... Yes, how many did you expect?" Moonsword134: "Err, no," Valeria answers. FrivYeti: He sits back, still looking shocked. "Twenty-seven Dragon-Bloods. Dragons guide us..." FrivYeti: "You've just doubled the local Exalted population." Moonsword134: "...doubled?" Valeria says dubiously. Wakoid2: "A number of our elders died due to... a reaction to the passage opening, but..." He also looked up at the comment of 'doubling.' FrivYeti: Hadren nods firmly. "Fourteen in Mela's Bounty, nine in Urichos, and six Dragons of the Sky in this region." FrivYeti: "That's twenty-nine." Moonsword134: "A mere twenty Exalted?" FrivYeti: "Is that odd?" Hadren raises an eyebrow. Moonsword134: "Err, twenty-nine? Why is this region so sparsely populated?" WillCoon: "... Then how many, altogether? In Creation?" Moonsword134: Valeria shakes her head for a moment, thinking. Moonsword134: /me finds and gets out dice to make a roll. FrivYeti: "Sparsely..." Hadren trails off. "There are half a million people between the two nations. That's fairly standard for the north." Moonsword134: Valeria can't quite get a grip on the information she was looking for. Moonsword134: Perhaps a lingering manifestation of the migraine... Moonsword134: ((I was trying an Int+Lore roll to get a bit of info but no luck. Not a botch, either, though.)) FrivYeti: "Exalted in Creation..." He trails off thoughtfully. "Oh, I don't know. Perhaps twenty thousand, maybe twenty-five." FrivYeti: "Why?" Moonsword134: "How large a region are you talking about, then?" Valeria asks, realizing that there may be some confusion over what exactly is going on. Wakoid2: "I suppose that partially explains why the man you spoke to was so awed, Skein, if Dragon-Blooded are reletively uncommon in presence." FrivYeti: Hadren pulls out a map, which is mostly written over in Snowtongue, and spreads it out. "Well, this is the North. Cities are a bit further between one another. "Mela's Bounty covers these six city-states..." WillCoon: "Indeed. Perhaps it was a reasonable response, if we represent the largest force in this region." FrivYeti: "And Urichos is spread over these three here." He marks off areas of the map. FrivYeti: ((OOC: Not entirely sure about proper distribution, so assume that it's accurate for those cities.)) FrivYeti: ((However, you do know that 29 Exalts for a population of half a million is about 1 for every 18,000 people.)) Wakoid2: ((how big are the areas compared to scarlet haven?)) FrivYeti: ((Huge.)) FrivYeti: ((Scarlet Haven covers only one city worth of terrain. It has a radius of a little over five miles.)) FrivYeti: ((The entire area could fit into any of the nine cities listed here.)) Wakoid2: Errant Tiger shook his head. "Our leaders are always a bit disappointed with the number of Exaltations that took place... but looking at this and seeing the numbers..." FrivYeti: ((Let alone the gaps between them.)) WillCoon: "Then shall we make preparations for constructing an outpost ofthe Haven?" Wakoid2: "An outpost. By the Dragons, what for?" WillCoon: "To begin the relocation?" FrivYeti: "Uh...." FrivYeti: Hadren coughs politely. "That might be a bit more difficult than I had thought." FrivYeti: "Ten thousand people are a touch harder to find room for, you see..." Wakoid2: "We have yet to make a decision as to whom we would ally ourselves with, Skein, if we are to at all. And such a decision would be up to our leaders, not ourselves." Moonsword134: "Nor, for that matter, do we have enough information to even begin making a decision in the first place," Valeria whispers. WillCoon: "... The passage through the wyld may be closing even now." Moonsword134: "Then we must move _quickly_," Valeria replies. Wakoid2: "I worry more about the Fae, than the passage itself. It's been steady for a year, after all. Not to say it may not change, but still..." FrivYeti: Hadren stands smoothly. "I think you all have a lot to discuss, and you'll probably discuss better without me. I'm going to check on my men; will you tell me when you come to a decision?" WillCoon: "I have a question, Hadren, regarding the defense grid." Wakoid2: Errant Tiger nodded. "We will look for you if we have any further questions, as well..." WillCoon: "Do the Arbiters have any way of stabilizing the region of the passage to buy us time? Old technology, perhaps..?" WillCoon: "In case it begins to deteriorate." FrivYeti: Hadren shakes his head. "Not in any real amount. Some Sky Dragons have Charms to stablize the Wyld around themselves, though, by sneaking Creation through the gaps, and I'm sure they'd be happy to come and help." FrivYeti: "If the Wyld starts to encroach, we can certainly continue moving people through." WillCoon: "Excellent. Thank you, Hadren." Moonsword134: Valeria nods but says nothing more. FrivYeti: "It's the least I can do after our rather embarassing introduction." Hadren smiles easily, but there is a hint of embarrasment in his voice. FrivYeti: ((OOC: I'm going to suggest calling game here, so that Ambi can be present for the "What to do" argument. ;) )) Moonsword134: "You had little enough reason to expect a scouting party from a lost legion to come trhough," Valeria replies, the dryness in her tone clear even at the volume she speaks. Wakoid2: ((Ok with me)) Moonsword134: ((Fine.)) WillCoon: ((well and good)) FrivYeti: ((Awesome. Five experience for everyone for sitting through that info-fest. And hopefully the insane fun of politics and war can start very soon. ;) )) WillCoon: ((Mwahahahahahah))) Wakoid2: ((heh FrivYeti: ((Any OOC questions before we break for the night?)) FrivYeti: ((Or comments?)) Moonsword134: ((No.)) WillCoon: ((None except awesome. Moonsword134: ((Yeah, this is getting interesting.)) WillCoon: ((What are we going to do tonight, brain...?)) FrivYeti: ((Cool. Now, for announcement-type stuff. My sister is indeed in town next week, so I won't be able to run.)) Wakoid2: ((wondering what happened to the Maidens themselves. if there is a terrestrial presence in Yu Shan, I would have thought they'd be recognized by their original titles)) FrivYeti: ((Assuming that the Sky Dragons are let into Yu-Shan.)) Moonsword134: ((If there's a Terrestrial presence.)) FrivYeti: ((Our next session is going to be two weeks from today. Alrighty?)) WillCoon: ((yepyep)) Moonsword134: ((Sure.)) Wakoid2: k FrivYeti: ((Awesome. *waves* Then I'm going to head off. Good night, everyone!))
