<Blaise`> |A small, dusty road in the middle of nowhere...|
* Alanna` drudges along, her pack feeling heavier than normal
* Umia walks alongside Alanna
<Umia> ;_; Are we almost theeerreeeee?
* Alanna` grumbles something
<Alanna`> it's your fault that my pack weighs this much and yours is so light
* Blaise` leans against a tree close by, waiting for them
<Blaise`> ....
<Umia> How is it my fault? o_o
* Alanna` continues to grumble before stopping and letting the pack slip from her shoulders to the ground
<Alanna`> you're the one who was like "Let's go shopping" and we went and you bought way too much and threw your back out
* Blaise` watches her with a slight smirk
* Alanna` starts digging through the pack, pulling out random stuff and tossing it into two piles
* Blaise` approaches them quietly, swinging the wine skin from side to side
<Umia> EEeee what are you doing!?
<Blaise`> I only need 6 more drops of blood, girls.
<Alanna`> trying to lighten my pack, since if this keeps up MY back is gonna go out
<Umia> ;_; But you're gonna ruuuiiiin all my stuuuuuff...
* Alanna` pulls her sword from the pack and hurls it in Blaise's general direction before continuing with her sorting
* Blaise` ducks and continues walking towards them
<Alanna`> I don't bleeding think so, bird boy.
* Blaise` gets a very annoyed look
<Blaise`> Look...
* Alanna` pulls several ornately decorated knives and hurls them in rapid succession
* Umia squeals and hides behind Ala
<Alanna`> back off before I get REALLY pissed off
* Blaise` dodges all of them qhile he talks
<Blaise`> I'm trying to resurrect someone from the dead; someone I care about deeply and vowed to protect several years ago
* Alanna` pulls a large cauldron and hurls it at Blaise
* Blaise` barely manages to dodge that one o_o;;
<Blaise`> ...it's *her* fault the first spell screwed up
<Blaise`> So you two should contribute.
<Alanna`> I don't care about your bleeding heart story...
* Umia just kinda hides
<Blaise`> It won't hurt, damnit >_<
* Alanna` pulls a large kitchen sink from the pack and barely manages to throw it at Blaise
<Umia> ;_; it's gonna eat me...
* Blaise` makes a rather amusing noise as it hits him in the head before he falls over
<Blaise`> ....owwww....
* Blaise` jumps back up
<Alanna`> <<you said everything but the kitchen sink... well, Umia bought the damned sink>>
<Alanna`> Damnit Umia..... when the hell did you buy that sink?!
<Blaise`> LOOK, DAMNIT, I JUST WANNA FUCKING RESSURRECT CIDRICK AND GET ON WITH LIFE, OKAY)#@(%*(@*%9
<Umia> ;_; It was preeettyyyyy
* Alanna` grumbles something before firing off several explosion spells that propell Blaise and several large rocks into the air
<Alanna`> Umia, I swear if I didn't have to protect you I would REALLY hurt you!!
* Blaise` makes the amusing noise again before landing a few feet away, still holding the wine skin up
* Alanna` gives Umia the patented stare of death
<Blaise`> ....please?
* Umia squeals and starts crying
* Alanna` sits down with her legs crossed, crosses her arms, and starts to grumble a Zodiac level spell
* Blaise` blinks in recognition and quickly forms a barrier around her
<Blaise`> Holy shit, what are you trying to do?!
<Alanna`> .... Unleash the crushing blow of destiny!!! NIGHTMARE FURY!!!!
* Alanna` releases a mass of nightmares upon the area with her sitting in the center of the disturbance with a twitching eyebrow
* Blaise` grumbles while making the barrier stronger
<Blaise`> ...T_T
* Alanna` punches the ground, a large fissure opening in a line from where she punched
<Alanna`> Umia, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!
* Blaise` glares at her
* Umia falls over and wails even louder
<Blaise`> If you're supposed to protect her, don't yell at her >_<
<Blaise`> You could at least try and comfort her >_<
* Alanna` sits with her eyebrow twitching even harder
<Alanna`> She.... is..... the..... WORLD'S.... BIGGEST.... PAIN.... IN MY ASS!!!
* Alanna` forms a large fireball and points it at Umia
<Alanna`> you have just gotten on my last nerve, so either shut up or be blown up!
* Blaise` widens his eyes
<Blaise`> That's enough!!
* Alanna` turns and glares at Blaise with a look that says "back off"
<Blaise`> When you take a protection vow, you don't threaten the person >_<
* Umia quiets down for a second and stares at the fireball before screaming and crying again
* Blaise` stands up
* Alanna` grins wickedly, the fireball increasing in size
<Blaise`> She's crying because she's fucking terrified of you >_<
<Blaise`> I never made Cidrick cry like that and I'd kill myself before I had to...!!
<Blaise`> And if anyone else did, I'd kill them!
<Alanna`> she's not terrified of me.... she's terrified of you.
<Blaise`> Then comfort her >_<
* Alanna` tosses the fireball off to one side where it detonates and blows up a small group of herdbeasts
* Alanna` glares at Blaise one more time before sighing and laying back with her head against her pack
<Alanna`> Hun, if only you knew what it was like to live with this girl for one day you'd be as moody as I am
<Blaise`> Look, all I want are three drops of blood from each of you, and then I'll leave you alone T_T
<Blaise`> ...besides, Cidrick really wants to meet her... she's just like him...
<Blaise`> Except he doesn't cry all the time.
* Alanna` sighs
<Alanna`> if mom hadn't sworn me to protect her to the point of not letting her shed one drop of blood I'd be more than glad to let you take 3 drops.
<Blaise`> I need the blood from you two because Cidrick wants me to put some of yours in...
<Blaise`> Alright... make it her choice.
<Blaise`> If she wants to, you have to let her.
<Alanna`> She knows what mom will do
* Umia sits there, sniffling
<Alanna`> <<mom = VERY SCARY WOMAN>>
* Alanna` pictures the tongue lashing she'd get if Umia was wounded in any way
<Blaise`> ...there won't be a mark
<Alanna`> (Damn mom for making me take that vow.... she knows how much of a pain in the ass that Umia is, and that's probably she pawned her off on me)
<Blaise`> There's no way she'd know.... pleeeaaaase ;_;
* Blaise` cutes at her
* Alanna` sighs and holds her forehead in her hand
<Alanna`> You can have 6 drops of my blood.... how about that
<Blaise`> ...I think I need some of hers...
<Blaise`> The similarities between her and Cidrick are incredibly.
* Alanna` looks at Umia
<Alanna`> your call sis
<Umia> ;_; it won't hurt will it?
<Blaise`> Nope.
<Alanna`> I'll go first
<Blaise`> If it does, you can both slap me T_T
<Alanna`> how about I hit you with that sink again
* Blaise` pulls out a small skin and unfolds it on the ground, revealing a few tools
<Blaise`> ...whatever
* Alanna` grins cutely at Blaise
* Blaise` picks up a few of them and kneels down by Alanna
* Alanna` raises one eyebrow at him
<Alanna`> fair warning.... if this hurts, you'll be the first to know it
* Blaise` takes out the wine skin and a little cutting tool and carefully takes her hand and pricks a finger
* Alanna` plants her fist in Blaise's face
<Blaise`> urk---
* Blaise` twitches
<Blaise`> ....don't... do that... when I'm holding... sharp... things.
<Alanna`> that wasn't exactly the nicest feeling in the world, but it wasn't exactly painful
* Alanna` blushes and giggles nervously
<Alanna`> sorry
* Blaise` grabs her hand and holds it over the wine skin, counting out three drops
* Blaise` wraps his hand around her finger and heals the cut up, then brings his tools to Umia
* Blaise` sits down close by her and waits for her to come to him
* Alanna` turns and gives a reassuring smile to Umia
* Umia looks a little tad bit scared
<Blaise`> ...it doesn't hurt, I promise.
<Umia> ;_; okay..
* Blaise` hands her one of the little tools
<Blaise`> ...look
<Blaise`> It's so thin, it doesn't hurt.
<Alanna`> it's just like slamming your finger under a plate
* Umia inches closer to Blaise
<Alanna`> it stings for a second.... it doesn't hurt
<Umia> . o O ( the bird man is gonna eeat meeeee ;_; )
* Blaise` takes the little cutting utensil and gently takes her hand
<Alanna`> (she's gonna do something bad)
<Blaise`> . o O ( ...she's gonna kill me ;_; )
* Blaise` pricks her finger gently
<Alanna`> (she's gonna freak... she doesn't like the sight of blood)
* Umia squeals when she sees the blood and lets an ice spell go right between Blaise's legs
<Blaise`> . o O ( ...okay, so far, so good... I'll let her realize that it doesn't hurt first. )
<Blaise`> )(#@*%)(@*(@)
* Blaise` grabs himself and squeals
<Umia> O_O I'm sorry!
<Blaise`> Shit, that's fucking coooold ;_;
* Alanna` falls over twitching
* Blaise` nods a little and forces back tears
<Blaise`> ...it's okay ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;
<Umia> ;_; don't eat me nice birdman thing
* Alanna` starts laughing her ass off
<Umia> i didn't mean it ;_;
* Blaise` holds her hand over the wineskin and waits for the three drops to come
* Umia starts to tremble
<Alanna`> oh my god.... Umia, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen
<Blaise`> ...don't worry, I've had worse T_T
* Alanna` curls up, holding her stomach
<Blaise`> ...Cidrick gets upset over the strangest things...
<Blaise`> Will you shut up?! >_<
<Umia> ;_; you're not gonna eat me are you though?
<Alanna`> owww..... ouch.... that was a riot.
* Blaise` heals Umia's hand and closes the wine skin
<Blaise`> ...of course not...
<Blaise`> We don't eat people.
* Blaise` pats her head gently and stands up
<Blaise`> I'll be going now
* Alanna` whispers in Umia's ear
<Alanna`> He wants you to have his baby.
* Blaise` walks off down the road, walking a little oddly
* Umia blushes deeply and throws an ice attack at him
<Umia> >< Pervert!
* Blaise` squeals and falls over
<Blaise`> DON'T DO THAT0(@*#%@#%(*
* Alanna` curls up laughing again
* Blaise` jumps back up and rubs his head
<Blaise`> ...T_T
<Umia> ;_; I don't want to have a baby!
<Alanna`> Oh my god..... that was too easy!!!!
* Blaise` sighs and keeps going, still walking funny
<Blaise`> . o O ( ...satan in disguise of a cute girl >_< )
* Alanna` laughs so hard she snorts
<Alanna`> (Mom's not gonna believe this when I tell her)
<Blaise`> ...must not react T_T
<Umia> ;_; Waaaaaaiiiit birdman thing...
* Alanna` snorts loudly several times
* Blaise` stops and looks back at her
<Blaise`> Yeah?
* Umia stands up and goes over to him
<Umia> ;_; I'm sorry i hurt you..
<Blaise`> ...it's alright... Like I said, I've had worse...
<Umia> You're not mad? o_O
<Blaise`> . o O ( ...must... get away... from psycho... ice throwing... lady... >_< )
<Blaise`> Course not.
<Blaise`> I'm pretty laid back.
* Alanna` stands up and straps her pack on, leaving a smaller one for Umia
* Umia giggles and hugs him
<Umia> Okay ^^
* Blaise` blinks and pats her back
<Blaise`> ...wee... okay, I have to go now.
<Blaise`> Buh bye...
<Alanna`> hey Sis, we're gonna follow him. I wanna meet this Cidrick guy
<Umia> Okay ^^
<Blaise`> T_T
<Blaise`> It's just... this way ...
* Blaise` turns and heads off down the road
<Blaise`> ;_;
* Alanna` follows after him
<Alanna`> Umia, don't forget your pack
* Umia nods and picks it up
<Umia> I won't ^^
* Umia scampers up to Blaise's side and takes his arm
* Blaise` glances at her and then ignores her for the most part
<Blaise`> |The little shrine....|
* Blaise` kneels before the alter chanting quietly
<Blaise`> ...
* Blaise` pulls out the wine skin and splashes the blood over the alter, then rests the dead rose atop it
* Umia watches quietly
<Cidrick`> Are you sure it's going to work this time??
<Blaise`> shhh
* Blaise` watches intently as the rose slowly regains its life
<Blaise`> ....
* Alanna` raises an eyebrow at the flames
* Umia looks a little scared and glomps onto Ala
* Blaise` sighs in relief as the rose suddenly turns to ashes, then collapses against the wall
<Blaise`> ...finally T_T
<Cidrick`> did it work?
<Blaise`> It workd...
<Blaise`> You should be here any second now.
* Blaise` taps his foot a bit
<Blaise`> Aaaaany second
* Cidrick` suddenly poofs into the center of the room, clad in flowing black and green robes. His long blue hair is pulled back in a long braid, and his blue eyes glitter with new life.
* Cidrick` glomps onto Blaise
<Cidrick`> honey, I'm home!!
* Blaise` smiles and hugs him tightly
<Blaise`> ...I can see that.
* Alanna` faints
* Umia squeals
<Umia> ;_; it's a zombiiieeeee..
* Blaise` doesn't quite notice her and kisses Cidrick deeply
* Umia finds something to hide behind
* Alanna` sits up, rubbing her head
<Alanna`> an elf.... and a phoenix claw??
* Blaise` continues kissing Cid, rubbing his back happily
<Alanna`> I'm getting too old for this
* Cidrick` runs his fingers through Blaise's hair
* Umia just hides behind a podium thing
<Umia> . o O ( it's gonna eat me.. and its brain will get apendicitis.. ;_; then where will i beeeee? )
* Alanna` continues to rub her head as she regains her feet
* Blaise` pulls back after a moment and smiles at Cid
<Alanna`> So..... this blue haired man is.... Cidrick?
* Cidrick` turns and bows to Alanna
<Blaise`> The one and only.
* Alanna` looks from Cidrick to Umia and sweatdrops
<Alanna`> (oh my god..... he and Umia look waaaaay too much alike)
* Umia clings to the podium and trembles
<Blaise`> Yeah, it is sorta creepy, isn't it?
<Blaise`> Umia, he won't eat you.
<Blaise`> He's a little elf gone bad, but he's fine now.
<Umia> ;_; yes he will
* Umia squeaks and closes her eyes tightly
<Umia> ;_;
<Blaise`> Trust me, he won't.
* Cidrick` beams happily
<Cidrick`> I won't eat you. Trust me, I prefer man meat
* Alanna` gags at the little joke and helps Umia to her feet
* Blaise` blushes slightly and clears his throat
<Alanna`> come on sis.... they won't eat you. They're friendly.
* Umia hides behind Alanna
<Umia> But..but..
<Umia> ;_;
<Blaise`> Umia..
<Blaise`> Would I make friends with someone who ate people?
<Umia> ;_; yes
<Blaise`> No... I wouldn't T_T
* Blaise` leans over to Cidrick and whispers at him
<Cidrick`> We don't eat people
<Blaise`> ...don't antagonize her... it's not wize... my balls are still a little cold T_T
* Cidrick` snickers
* Cidrick` whispers back
<Cidrick`> what did you do to antoginize her??
<Blaise`> ...nothing... I took her blood and it scared her...
<Blaise`> The other one punched me T_T
* Blaise` points at his black eye
* Cidrick` snickers
* Alanna` blushes
<Alanna`> I told you I was sorry
<Alanna`> it was a reflex, I swear
<Blaise`> Appology accepted.
<Umia> . o O ( ;_; must.. get away.. )
<Blaise`> ...your reflex wasn't as unpleasant as your friend's -_-;;
* Cidrick` chuckles
* Umia tiptoes out of the shrine
<Cidrick`> if you want I can heat that up for you honey
* Blaise` smirks and blushes slightly
<Blaise`> ...'pends on what you mean.
* Alanna` looks a little green
<Blaise`> I've had one magic attack blasted down there, I don't need another one.
* Cidrick` whispers
<Cidrick`> that's not what i had in mind
* Blaise` grins
<Blaise`> I know...
* Alanna` starts looking around for Umia
* Blaise` points out the door
<Alanna`> Umi.... where are you Umi?! Damnit sis, don't do this to me!!!
<Blaise`> ...she went thataway.
* Alanna` runs at breakneck speed out the door before screaming loudly
<Alanna`> UMIA!!!!!
* Blaise` winces
<Blaise`> ....god that's loud T_
* Blaise` plunks down at a table in the center of the small room
<Blaise`> ...you were saying?
* Blaise` smirks at Cid
<Cidrick`> I was saying we should go and see what's wrong
<Blaise`> ...fine T_T
* Blaise` stands back up and heads for the door
<Blaise`> Alanna...?
* Blaise` peeks out
* Alanna` is laying on the ground. Near her is a large stack of packages that are obviously Umia's. A spear and a gauntlet are resting off to the side, and a trail of blood leads from the gauntlet
<Alanna`> Umi.... she's.... she's..... gone.
* Alanna` bursts into tears
<Alanna`> Mom's gonna kill me!!
* Blaise` blinks
<Blaise`> What happened?!
<Blaise`> Where's Umia >_<
<Alanna`> I.... saw something..... another bird man take her, tear the gauntlet off with a talon, then drag her off. The blood is from a gash on her arm.
* Alanna` curls up and sobs into her knees
* Cidrick` crouches next to Alanna and gently rests his hands on her shoulders
* Blaise` pats her shoulder awkwardly
<Cidrick`> We'll find her for you
<Blaise`> . o O ( ...but Blaise wants sex ;_; )
<Blaise`> . o O ( ...and it's been so long ;_; )
<Cidrick`> {I heard that hon, and we're not gonna do the whoopie until we find Umia for ALanna}
<Blaise`> {{{ ...but Ciiid ;_; }}}
<Cidrick`> {no buts!}
* Alanna` sniffles and looks up
<Alanna`> will you..... will you help me find my sister?
<Blaise`> << I just got this very funny image in my head of some guy having sex and then going 'WHOOOPEEEE' during the orgasm ^^;; >>
<Blaise`> We'll help o_o
* Alanna` slowly regains her feet, picks up Umia's gauntlet and spear, then adds them to her already bulging pack
<Alanna`> <<you and me baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel!>>
<Alanna`> C'mon, let's go!!
* Alanna` starts to run off on the trail of blood
* Blaise` follows her quietly
* Cidrick` follows behind blaise, copping a feel now and then
<Blaise`> ...don't start a fire you're not willing to put out, Cid.
* Cidrick` blushes
<Cidrick`> sorry hun
* Alanna` turns around and glares
<Alanna`> are you two gonna keep up with me or what?! Umia's life is at stake here!!
<Blaise`> Doubtful...
<Blaise`> Phoenix Claw rarely kill unless it's for survival.
<Alanna`> it wasn't a phoenix claw
<Alanna`> it was a dragon claw
<Blaise`> ...oh, well, then we should hurry.
* Cidrick` shudders
<Blaise`> Cause the dragon claw don't kill...
<Cidrick`> they eat
<Blaise`> No, that's a rumour too...
<Blaise`> But they *do* rape and then loeave for dead.
* Cidrick` shudders and glomps onto Blaise
* Blaise` rubs his arm gently
<Blaise`> ...c'mon.
* Alanna` shudders and pulls Umi's gauntlet from her pack and slips it on
<Alanna`> (Sis, don't worry, we're on our way)
* Blaise` grabs Alanna and throws her over his shoulder, then does the same with Cid
* Alanna` reaches into the jewel, a large sword with a dragon on the hilt forming in her hand
<Blaise`> Hold on tight, okay?
<Alanna`> WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!
* Blaise` gives a few flaps of his great wings, then lifts off and begins to fly slowly above the tree line, scanning
* Alanna` begins to summon a BIGASS ice spell
<Blaise`> ...shut up and don't attack me or I'll drop you.
* Blaise` circles a bit higher
<Cidrick`> do as he says.... I don't wanna die
<Blaise`> This is faster.
<Cidrick`> err.... die again
* Blaise` looks around slowly
* Alanna` sighs
<Blaise`> ...if you see something, speak.
* Alanna` nearly falls out of Blaise's grip while pointing and flailing
* Blaise` blinks at her
<Alanna`> I see them! I seeeeeeeeee them!!!
<Blaise`> ...I said 'speak', not go into convulsions >_<
<Blaise`> Where?
<Alanna`> sorry
* Alanna` flips around so that her hand is going under Blaise's armpit at a fluttering of batlike wings in the distance
<Cidrick`> I see them as well, and that dragon claw has the speed advantage
* Blaise` squints at then and nods, then starts going after them as quickly as he can with so much weight on his shoulders
<Blaise`> ...I could go faster, except.... Alanna, can't you drop that pack somewhere?
<Alanna`> Spirits of the winds, lift me to my aspirations. RAY WING!!
* Alanna` leaps free of Blaise's grip and sails along beside him
<Blaise`> Better
* Blaise` adjusts Cidrick on his back a bit so that he's not draped over a shoulder
<Alanna`> I can manage my pack's weight with this spell in effect, but it's gonna leave me tired later on
<Blaise`> Right.
* Cidrick` wraps his legs around Blaise's midsection and his arms around Blaise's shoulders
<Cidrick`> if you drop me there will be hell to pay!
* Blaise` blushes slightly and picks up speed
<Blaise`> ...I won't...
* Blaise` holds onto Cid's arms
* Cidrick` kisses the back of Blaise's neck
<Blaise`> Have I ever before?
<Cidrick`> I"ll answer that later
<Blaise`> Oh, well, I caught you that time T_T
* Alanna` kicks it into overdrive, the sword held out before her
* Blaise` blinks and goes a little faster to keep up with her
<Alanna`> Hurry up! He's gonna outrun us if we don't motor!
<Blaise`> Look, if I go too fast, Cid'll fall off....
<Blaise`> ...as long as we can see them ahead of us, it's fine
* Blaise` goes a little faster anyway
<Cidrick`> I can manage a flight spell if I fall
<Blaise`> Don't.
<Blaise`> We need your magic if a battle arrises...
<Blaise`> ...I can catch you.
<Cidrick`> What about Alanna.... didn't you say she was powerful?
* Alanna` sends a glance back at Cid and sighs
<Blaise`> We'll need more than just that.
<Blaise`> You won't fall, Cid... and if you do, we're high up, and I'm definately fast enough to catch you
* Alanna` looks ahead to see the Dragon Claw is getting further ahead of them
* Blaise` frowns a bit and begins going faster
<Alanna`> flame it
<Blaise`> Hold on tightly, Cid...
* Alanna` reaches into the large pack for the essential stuff and pops the rest into a subspace pocket before kicking it into maximum overdrive
* Cidrick` holds on and nuzzles into the back of Blaise's neck
* Blaise` goes fast enough to keep a few yards behind her, but still slow enough to mind Cid
<Darnova> |The Dragon claw group...|
* Darnova drops off from the group and onto a small ledge where he deposits Umia
<Darnova> ...your stupid friends will keep following the main group...
<Darnova> But you'll be here...
<Umia> ...let me go..
* Darnova kneels down by her and touches her cheek softly, smirking a bit
<Darnova> ....
<Darnova> No.
* Darnova looks her over proudly
<Darnova> ...lucky you were alone, eh?
<Umia> ..what do you want from me..?
* Darnova smiles softly and runs his hand down her neck, stopping it just above her breasts
<Darnova> ...nothing much...
* Umia trembles in a very frightened manner
<Darnova> ...We're traveling a lot... the dragon claw, I mean...
<Darnova> Often times we go for weeks without a woman's touch
<Darnova> ...and because most women are scared of us, we just take what we want.
<Umia> ..y..you can't do this... ;_;
<Umia> I'm all virginy and stuff.. i won't be very good.
<Darnova> ...virgins are the be--@)(#*%(@)%(
* Darnova squawks as a large, heavy pack lands on him
* Umia blinks
<Umia> My stuff ^^
* Umia grabs the pack and rummages through it
<Umia> ;_; no food
* Darnova 's hand, which is the only thing sticking out from underneath, twitches somewhat
* Umia pulls the bag off
<Darnova> ...ow...
<Umia> Are you alright o_o
* Darnova sits up very quickly and grabs her wrist
<Darnova> How'd you do that?! >_<
* Umia pales
<Umia> ..i didn't.. ;_;
<Darnova> Don't lie to me, girl >_<
* Darnova pulls his hand back to slap her
<Alanna`> Keep your hands off of my sister, you perverted little fiend!!!
<Umia> I swear!
* Darnova blinks and looks back at Alanna
* Umia 's eyes fill with tears
<Darnova> Who the fuck are you?
* Alanna` hurls several shuriken past Darnova's head
* Darnova yelps and ducks down
* Darnova quickly puts Umia in front of him for a shield
<Darnova> ...heh.
<Umia> ;_; Alannaaaa
<Darnova> It's a pity to let such a pretty girl be damaged, but in this case...
<Alanna`> I stand for love, and I stand for justice. I'm ALanna, and in the name of mother Garudan, I will punish you for hurting my sister!!
* Alanna` swoops down and starts firing off explosion spells
<Darnova> ...huh? o_o
* Darnova continues holding Umia in front of himself
<Darnova> ...going to hurt your sister?
* Alanna` shakes her head as a fireball forms behind Darnova and toasts his butt
<Alanna`> score one for the home team!!!
* Darnova yelps and lets go of Umia
* Alanna` tosses Umia her spear and sword
<Alanna`> thought you might need these.
* Umia catches them and turns around, slashing Darnova's arm with the sword
* Alanna` swoops down and lands next to her sister
* Darnova hisses and recoils quickly, glaring at her and unsheathing his claws
<Darnova> ...
* Alanna` pulls out her own sword, which has a glowing blade
<Umia> Do you have my gauntlet? o_o
<Alanna`> you even THINK of hurting my sister again and you'll be dealing with some dark force or another
* Alanna` holds up her left hand
* Umia takes it and puts it back on
<Umia> Yay %%^^
<Alanna`> I'm using it at the moment
* Cidrick` calls from the distance
<Cidrick`> Alanna! Did you find your sister??
* Blaise` flaps up to them, panting
<Blaise`> ...;_;
* Cidrick` hops off
<Cidrick`> well sugar, you got us here in record time
* Blaise` puts his hands on his knees and tries to catch his breath
<Blaise`> ....yeah....
* Umia goes over to blaise and glomps onto him, little tears in her eyes
<Alanna`> yeah, I found her, and we have trouble
<Umia> Blaaaisseeeeee ;_;
* Alanna` points her sword at the dragon claw before them
* Darnova looks at Blaise in disgust
<Darnova> ...Phoenix Claw...
<Darnova> ...a femaleless species...
* Blaise` shrugs a bit and straightens
<Alanna`> f.....fe...femaleless????????? O_o
* Blaise` glances at her and nods
* Cidrick` blushes
<Blaise`> Completely... why?
<Cidrick`> we can talk about that later
<Umia> o_o what's that mean?
* Cidrick` forms a barrier around himself, Blaise, Umi, and Ala
<Darnova> It means they're nothing but *men*
* Darnova spits out the last word
<Umia> o_o No girls?
* Blaise` ignores him mostly and pulls out a dagger
* Alanna` sends a light spear through the sword and into Darnova's left wing
<Blaise`> None.
<Umia> How do they have babies? o_o
* Darnova screams and drops to his knees, grabbing at his wings
<Alanna`> Either shut up or I'm gonna get REALLY pissed off
<Blaise`> ...with other men.
* Cidrick` blushes deeper
<Umia> O_O
<Umia> ;_; that's not how it goes
<Cidrick`> Blaise, darling, you're starting to embarrass me
<Blaise`> Sorry...
* Blaise` kisses his temple softly, then takes a fighting stance
<Alanna`> Umi, at a later time and date we'll discuss this. Right now I need you to ice that pain in the neck
* Umia plunks down and tries to figure this out
<Alanna`> UMIA!!!!!
<Umia> Shh!
<Umia> Not while I"m thinking!
* Alanna` slaps her forehead before grumbling a spell incantation
* Blaise` blinks at her and sweatdrops abit, then just hurls the dagger at the dragon claw's leg
* Darnova grits his teeth and glares at them as the dagger embeds itself into his leg
<Darnova> ...I'm defensless, and you still attack...
* Blaise` shrugs and pulls out another dagger
<Blaise`> ...so was Umia.
<Umia> . o O ( so.. no girls.. means they all have to be gay.. o_o and gay means no babies.. but they have babies anyways.. so someone has to be a girl in that race o_o.. but who.. ;_; i'm confused )
<Alanna`> Infinite earth, mother who nutures all life, let thy power gather in my hand. Vlave HOWL!!!
* Umia 's eyes swirl a bit in her confusion
* Alanna` punches the ground, large columns of lava rising up around Darnova before crashing down upon him
* Darnova screams in pain and staggers to the edge of the ledge, then falls off, grabbing on with one hand to stop himself
<Alanna`> That'll teach ya to mess with my little sister, you pervert!!
* Blaise` looks at him for a minute, then nudges his fingers off with his foot
* Darnova screams as he falls
* Alanna` grins wickedly
<Alanna`> Demon gate.
* Blaise` grimaces
<Blaise`> Not that T_T
* Alanna` snickers as a gate to a demon dimension opens beneath Darnova, which he conveniantly falls into
* Darnova begins to scream even louder as the gate closes
* Blaise` looks down distastefully
* Alanna` beams triumphantly
<Blaise`> ...I hate that attack
<Alanna`> well, that takes care of him.
* Umia remains sitting absolutely motionless, still trying to figure out the concept of males having babies, not seeming to notice the scream
* Cidrick` sighs and plunks down next to Umia
<Cidrick`> Umia, darling, I'm pr....pr....pregnant
* Umia squeals and skitters away
* Cidrick` blushes warmly
* Blaise` leans against a wall of the little cave and watches them quietly
<Umia> The nasty zombie thing is trying to eat meeeeeee ;_;
<Blaise`> He's not a zombie
<Blaise`> He's an elf.
* Cidrick` starts to laugh his butt off
<Umia> Okay. He's a nasty elf zombie thing.
<Cidrick`> and it's not possible for a male elf to get pregnant from a phoenix claw
* Cidrick` pouts
<Cidrick`> I feel offended
* Alanna` sighs
<Umia> I still haven't figured this out. Let me think.
* Umia starts counting points out on her fingers
<Alanna`> Umia, it's not nice to call one of the people who risked his butt to save you a nasty zombie thing.
* Blaise` blinks at Cid
<Blaise`> Of course it is o_o
<Cidrick`> but we haven't done THAT for a long time
* Umia waves her hand at Ala
<Umia> ;_; now i have to start all oooveeeerrrr...
<Blaise`> Oh, well I know...
* Blaise` blinks at Cid
* Alanna` groans and falls over in convulsions
<Blaise`> ...what happened while you were dead? >_<
<Alanna`> why me? why me? why??
* Blaise` blinks at Alanna
<Cidrick`> I don't know.... what did you do while I was living impaired??
* Umia sits in a little froglike crouch, thinking
<Blaise`> ...nothing >_<
<Alanna`> this..... is not happening. This can't be happening.
* Blaise` looks down at Alanna
<Blaise`> What is it? T_T
<Alanna`> Umia.... is trying to figure this out.... and it's giving me a headache
<Blaise`> Sorry...
* Blaise` ignores her and looks at Cidrick
<Blaise`> ...what do you mean 'what did I do'?! >_< Were you with someone?
* Cidrick` sits next to Umia
<Cidrick`> I was dead.... I couldn't have sex
<Blaise`> ...so how're you pregnant o_O;;
<Umia> ^^ He coulda possessed someone and had sex.
<Cidrick`> I AM NOT PREGNANT!!
<Blaise`> We never did the ritual to prepare your body for having *my* children...
<Blaise`> But you said... o_o;;
* Cidrick` chuckles
<Cidrick`> I was messing with Umia's mind.
* Umia goes back to thinking
<Blaise`> Cid, don't joke like that _T
<Cidrick`> I'm sorry, but it was funny
* Umia glomps onto Blaise's leg
<Umia> I don't geeet iiiiiiit ;_;
* Blaise` shakes his leg a bit
<Blaise`> ...he's not really pregnant
<Blaise`> He was-- oh, you mean the mating sex thing...
<Umia> ;_;
<Blaise`> All Phoenix Claw are able to carry children.
<Umia> But boys can't have babies.
<Umia> That's NOT how it goes.
<Blaise`> Something like human hermaphrodites, but not quite.
* Umia nods matter of factly
* Alanna` sits up and sighs before digging through her pack
<Alanna`> Say Umi, what happened to that giant cauldron you had??
<Blaise`> You threw it at me >_<
<Alanna`> the other cauldron
<Umia> It's in my bag
<Alanna`> Can you get it for me please??
<Umia> ^^ sure
* Umia goes over to her bag and pulls it out, handing it to Ala
<Umia> o_o what do you need it for?
* Blaise` plunks down by Cid
<Blaise`> ....
* Alanna` nearly falls over from the weight, but manages to set it on a conveniently placed fire
<Alanna`> I still don't know how you got it into your pack
<Umia> ^^ i know how to pack
* Alanna` casts an Aqua Create spell to fill the cauldron, then goes about adding assorted ingrediants
<Blaise`> Oh, uhmn.... by the way, Cid...
<Blaise`> The house is sort of a mess...
<Alanna`> double, bubble, toil and trouble. fire burn and cauldron bubble.
<Blaise`> Since I'm used to you cleaning and haven't been around enough to do it myself...
<Cidrick`> and what do you expect ME to do about it?
* Blaise` rubs the back of his neck
<Blaise`> ...help me clean it up like a happy family? ^^;;
* Cidrick` grumbles something about no sex until the house is cleaned up, and he's not gonna do it
* Blaise` whimpers
<Cidrick`> you make the mess, you clean the mess
* Umia pulls a book out of her pack and starts to read
* Blaise` thinks for a minute
* Alanna` tiptoes up behind Blaise and pulls a single feather from the tip of his wing
<Blaise`> I made the mess out of love for you o_o
<Blaise`> I wanted you to feel needed when you got back
<Blaise`> ...and I couldn't find my backpack ;_;
* Blaise` squeaks
<Blaise`> )(@*%()@!()
<Blaise`> DON'T DO THAT >_<
* Blaise` glares at Alanna
* Alanna` deposits the feather in the brew
<Alanna`> sorry.... I needed a wing feather
* Blaise` rubs his wing
<Blaise`> ...that hurts, you know
<Alanna`> I'm sorry
* Alanna` tiptoes up behind Umia and plucks out a single hair before plucking one of her own hairs
* Umia squeals
<Blaise`> ...if you're making soup, I'm not eating it.
<Umia> Oooooouchie!
<Alanna`> it's not soup.... it's a potion
* Umia fires an ice attack at Ala
<Blaise`> Good...
<Umia> ><
* Alanna` deflects the attack
<Alanna`> geeze... calm down Umi
* Blaise` glances at Cid
<Blaise`> We'd better get back home so that Cid can cl-... I mean so that I clean up the house T_T
* Cidrick` plucks out a hair and hands it to Alanna
<Cidrick`> I figure you might need this
<Umia> o_o
<Umia> What for?
* Alanna` takes it and adds it to the concoction
<Alanna`> you'll see
<Umia> ;_;
* Blaise` stands up and lifts Cid up onto his back
* Alanna` speaks some words in a long forgotten language before pricking her finger and adding six drops of her own blood
<Blaise`> ...c'mon.
<Cidrick`> Ok, but you owe me a full body, hot oil massage
<Blaise`> No complaints here.
* Alanna` has the concoction explode in her face, turning her black before sparks fly from the pot
<Alanna`> I think the potion is done
* Blaise` blinks at her and quickly takes off from the ledge before sparks fly from *alanna*
<Alanna`> now to store it until later
<Umia> o_o what's it for?
<Cidrick`> Take care, and thank you
* Cidrick` waves to ALanna and Umia
* Alanna` opens a portal under the pot, allowing it to sink into sub space for later retrieval
* Umia waves
<Alanna`> it's a potion for power restoration and such.
<Umia> Bye nasty little elf zombie thiiiiing!
* Cidrick` flushes crimson
<Cidrick`> I AM NOT NASTY NOR A ZOMBIE!!!
<Umia> Yes you are!
* Cidrick` sighs and nuzzles into Blaise's back
<Blaise`> You're pretty and very alive.
* Alanna` looks at the large pack sitting on the ledge
<Alanna`> Say Umi, how did this pack get here?? I dumped it into subspace while i was flying here to rescue you.
<Umia> >< too bad the bird people things have to be gay.
<Umia> I dunno o_o
<Umia> I kinda liked that one.
<Alanna`> well, what happened?
<Umia> It just kinda fell out
* Alanna` falls over
<Alanna`> oh crud
* Cidrick` gets clanged in the face by a giant cauldron of some sort of potion
* Blaise` blinks
<Blaise`> ...o_O;;;
<Blaise`> What the fuck--
<Blaise`> Are you okay?!
* Umia giggles and claps
<Umia> You hit the nasty little elf zombie thing :D
* Cidrick` sorta mumbles something before passing out
* Blaise` sighs and clings to him a bit tighter before flapping off into the sunset
<Cidrick`> |To Be Continued....|
