Logfile from Malakai

Eclipse puts on his dragon medallion. "When last we left Hell's Errand Children, they had spent some time apart. Valyros had just gained new mastery in binding spirits. Psyche and Typheous had gained increased understanding of the events taking place in Wyzdin. And Plax had just had a Gremlin pee in his mouth."

[OOC] Psyche cookie-eats!

Psyche was studying in the library with Typheous, and playing footsie, IIRC.

[OOC] Plax says, "Sure, everyone except me gets to have a good time. *sulk* ;)"

[OOC] Valyros says, "Well somebody's got to be the angst-bat."

Typheous plays footsie with the best of them, but actually gets some studying done, too.

[OOC] Typheous chuckles.

[OOC] Typheous says, "Just wait until people start talking about us..."

(remotely) Plax glances over at Lyka. "I think that I'll make sure not to ignore Grus that often in the future," he says, an attempt to lighten the mood.

Valyros sorts a few final things out with Lori.

Plax has received your page: "Lyka stares up at Grus, who is hovering around the ceiling, laughing obsenities at you. "I'm really sorry about that. It's just that that...that...that *freak* insists on ruining my life.""

[OOC] You say, "It is now approximately lunchtime all around."

Psyche packs up and goes for lunch, then, wherever T intends to go.

Typheous will go to his normal cafeteria?

[OOC] Psyche says, "Which conveniently would be Plax's, too."

Valyros pages: "Shifting into the Umbra to avoid the rush to Lunch."

Eclipse [to Psyche]: Correct, unless Plax is eating in Lyka's caf...

[Roll]: Valyros rolled dice (4d10): 10, 3, 2, 9 No diff given.

(remotely) Plax shakes his head. "Don't worry about it. Just, well, let's just call it unexpected," he says. "Life is never fully predictable, after all. Care to go grab some lunch? Who knows, maybe we can convince a cafeteria worker that 'boiled head' would be an exotic treat," he says.

[OOC] Plax can introduce you all to Grus. :)

Valyros has received your page: "(To avoid the rush to lunch?)"

[OOC] Typheous says, "That's exactly what we don't need... Maybe we could bond him to Vance."

[OOC] Plax laughs!

Valyros pages: "And sneak up on the guys. ^_^"

Plax has received your page: "Grus, "What a great fucking idea, pee-mouth! I've always wondered what barbequed flying cock tastes like. Can't be any worse than the raw flacid kind.""

Valyros has received your page: "Okay. Gotcha."

(remotely) Plax opts to ignore the annoying flying head.

Plax has received your page: "Lyka, "So, where do you want to eat?""

You say, "The handful of people in the cafeteria are staring at Typh and Psyche when they arrive. A couple of them are whispering to each other."

(remotely) Plax thinks for a moment. "Well, I haven't been to the cafeteria since I got back, so I wouldn't mind heading my usual one, unless you'd rather eat somewhere else".

Psyche's cheeks turn paler than usual, but she doesn't drop Typheous's hand until she gets her tray, jaw setting with determination. . o O ( I should've gone somewhere on my own. )

Typheous ignores the stares, staying with Psyche in line. . o O ( For lunch? Why? Let them stare. )

Plax has received your page: "Lyka, "Fine by me." Grus, "Fine by me, too. There won't be as many people there, which means fewer witnesses to her fingering herself with a spoon. Ha!""

Valyros pages: "Do I need to roll anything to find Typheous and Psyche?"

(remotely) Plax heads to the cafeteria with Lyka (the same one as Typh/Psyche, right?).

You say, "Vance is nowhere in sight, atm, but Alex has noticed you. He's frowning in worry."

Valyros has received your page: "Just arrive whenever you'd like to."

Plax has received your page: "Pose your entrance."

Psyche glances at Alex, briefly. . o O ( Your roommate looks worried. ) She keeps getting food.

Typheous quirks an eyebrow at Alex in question. . o O ( Probably heard some horrid rumor. Mind if we go over and sit with him? )

Plax walks into the cafeteria, joined by Lyka, walking with her and intending to go to get some food.

Valyros pages: "Can I just selectively bring a couple of lunch items into the Umbr awith me, nonchalantly?"

You say, "Alex looks back down at the table, concentrating on his food."

Valyros has received your page: "Fine by me."

[Roll]: Valyros rolled Arete (4d10): 4, 3, 2, 7 ** 1 success (diff 6) **

Psyche lifts a hand to Plax, in greeting. "Hey, Plax...Lyka." She offers half a smile. . o O ( That's fine. )

You say, "A floating head follows them, making crude observations about all the men it thinks Lyka would like to have in her pants. "Hard to beat a flying vibrator, though, I'll admit.""

Typheous waves to Plax as well. "Care to join us? We were just heading over there." He inclines his head toward Alex's table. His music picks up a bit more annoyance than it had already placed in it when the head shows up.

You say, "A few lunch items at the counter disappear into thin air."

Plax waves to Psyche and Typheous. "Hey Psyche, Tyhpeous," he calls. The annoying head is ignored for the time being. He glances to Lyka at Typheous' question. "Well? Would you like to?" he asks her politely, though quietly enough to hopefully not be heard.

Lyka, "Sure, Plax."

Rade has arrived.

Plax nods to Typheous. "Alright, just let us snag some food," he says, getting some, hopefully before it disappears.

Grus, "Hubba hubba. I'd like her to sit on *my* face!"

[OOC] You say, "Hey! You here for a bit tonight, or just stopping by?"

Psyche glances at the head, giving it a Glare of Death before grabbing her tray and heading toward Alex's table.

[OOC] Rade says, "nope, I'm good. Didn't know when you were starting or I'd have been in earlier. :)"

[OOC] Rade says, "here to stay a bit"

[OOC] Valyros says, "Hey!"

[OOC] Psyche whees!

[OOC] Plax waves.

[OOC] Rade says, "heya :)"

Grus, "I don't mind the cold, baby. I know how to warm that icy pussy of yours. I am so much better than the musical cock you have there."

[OOC] Rade says, "however, I haven't the -faintest- what's goiing on"

[OOC] Plax says, "We're getting lunch. And Grus has returned."

Typheous appraises the floating head, more in a 'what would it look like with a rapier through the eye' way combined with a 'don't say things like that about my girl' than anything else before following Psyche to Alex's table. "Hey Alex. What's wrong?"

Alex mumbles, "Hey, guys. Any way we can silence the talking head?"

[OOC] Rade says, "oh joy :)"

Plax gets food, hopefully with Lyka, and goes to join them. "Got a Spirit Master around by chance?" he says in response to Alex.

[OOC] Typheous says, "Anyone have Spirit 5?"

Grus, "I'll trade you, musical dick. Your sex doll is so much better-looking than mine."

You say, "Alex glances at Lyka. "I thought you gagged it.""

Psyche freezes at Grus's comment, the air around her dropping a good ten degrees, spinning around to snarl something air-blistering at Grus. Somewhere in there she explains the very real physical possibility of inverting his mouth completely.

Lyka, "I did. Vance's cousin took off the gag, though."

[OOC] Rade makes someone drop a brief, here's what we did last week or two page too, cause I couldn't find the logs. :)

[OOC] Plax says, "Individual stuff last week, got told not to tell about our mission the week before by the Masters."

Grus, "Oh yeah! Invert my mouth, baby, and I'll invert your legs."

Valyros shimmers into existance sitting next to Typheous with a tray of food in front of her, "Hello Typheous, Psyche, Plax. What mischief have you kids been getting into?"

[OOC] Plax says, "Err, not mission. Trip."

Typheous hides a smile briefly, but the head seems to be managing to step on all his nerves with Psyche. "I don't think it's us causing the mischeif." He eyes the skull.

Plax looks at Valyros. "Afternoon, Valyros. Oh, nothing much. Just getting a bit to eat," he says. Grus gets an annoyed look. "You know, maybe I could make a nice, makeshift gag for him," he says.

Grus, "Ask flying penis, here, what it's like to taste fresh man dick. I could just *tell* he liked it."

Valyros looks over at the floating head. "Hello."

Rade pages: "anything I need to know, or just jump in feet first? :)"

Rade has received your page: "Jump in at will. They're all at Typh's dorm cafeteria."

Rade pages: "Like did dina have anything to say?"

Typheous studies the head. "Psyche... How much force does it take to dislocate a jawbone?"

[OOC] Plax says, "Are there any windows here by chance?"

Psyche snarls at the head. "Go fuck yourself." And bends to root around in her bag for a bit. Without looking up at Typheous, she answers.

Rade has received your page: "I'm sure she did, but we'll have to figure out what it was another time, unfortunately."

Rade pages: "gotcha, busy, carry on :)"

[OOC] Psyche doesn't know, but Psyche prolly would :P

Grus, "Baby, if I could fuck myself, I'd never let out a peep. C'mon. Just a little peek into those icy recesses of yours..."

Valyros looks around picking at a few items on her plate, "We don't like the head?"

Eclipse [to Plax]: Yes.

Plax smiles tightly. "No, we don't. I don't suppose you'd be able to help us with our little floating head problem, could you?" he asks.

Rade wanders through the door, kneeling to reach back and pet something behind here. "Stay out here...it'll be alright. You shouldn't come in here. I'll be back soon." She dips her head to kiss the wolf behind her's nose, then stands and turns to look around the cafeteria.

Typheous stares at the head. "If you do not leave her alone, I will be forced to render you incapable of speach."

Valyros says, "Well what sort of spirit is he?"

Plax says, "Gremlin"

[OOC] Rade says, "ugly"

Typheous says, "Perverted?"

Grus, "Icy bitch queen. Hey, bat girl. How about you give me a genital massage? I don't think the wings make you look fat. Really. Come to Grus..."

From Typheous: [Private Roll]: Typheous rolled Willpower (7) (7d10): 10, 5, 1, 3, 3, 8, 7 No diff given.

You say, "Grus makes kissing faces at Val. "It's just a little piss in my mouth. You won't even notice it, after a while..."

Psyche flicks her eyes over to Typheous, sighing as she comes up from her bag empty-handed. "I can take care of myself..." she mutters, without force, considering Grus. "You could just remove his tongue. That'd shut him up. It's got to be miserable, knowing he couldn't get laid even if he found someone desperate enough to let him."

Rade smiles as she notices the group, Grus not really catching her attention. She wanders over, smiling. "Hey..."

[OOC] Plax says, "Oh, this will not be good..."

[OOC] Psyche says, "Rade's cuter than I am, oh good :)"

Grus, "Ho, momma! Why don't you spread your legs for me and..."

You say, "Halda snaps at him."

Typheous visibly restrains himself, forcing himself to look back to those around the table. He glances to Rade and smiles briefly. "Hello, Rade. Beware the flying head." . o O ( That's not the point.)

[OOC] Typheous says, "Ooooo! Wolf vs head!"

[OOC] Plax says, "Go wolfie!"

Grus, "Whoa, whoa! Sorry. Is this one yours? I didn't know she was taken."

Rade blinks, cheeks going bright, flaming red. "W....what? Halda no...."

Plax shakes his head. "No, that's the wrong response, Rade. You should say, 'Halda, yes!'. Trust me on this".

You say, "Lyka tries to eat, looking mortified by Grus's antics."

[OOC] Rade says, "what happens if a philactary eats a gremlin?"

[OOC] You say, "Let's just hope a phylactery is not what it eats..."

[OOC] Rade says, "is probably okay so long as it's not after midnight :)"

Psyche grins, almost maliciously. "Let her bite him in half. Lyka deserves a little peace." She takes a bite of food, glancing over to Alex briefly.

Valyros waves at Rade, "Hello Rade! How have you been?" Turns to the the spirit, drawing out a large spirit book and opening it to a certain page pointing it towards the floating head. "Could you look at this for a second?"

Lyka, "I...I'm sorry about this, everyone."

You say, "She seems on the verge of tears."

Plax nods. "Definately," he says, going to his food now, though he's got a few glasses of juice. "It's not your fault, Lyka. Grus is just, well Grus. Don't worry about him".

Grus, "Finally come to your senses, you ugly bat? Come to papa. Come to...hey. What's that?

Psyche shrugs. "It's okay, Lyka. It's just a flying impotent bitch-head." She reaches out as if to touch the girl's shoulder.

Typheous glances over to Lyka, his music only barely losing its edge as he slowly ignores the skull. "It's ok. It's not your fault. You don't strike me as the type to purposefully summon this kind of spirit."

Psyche . o O ( I know it's not the point, but I...*a mental sigh* Thank you. )

Rade turns to smile at Valyros, though she still looks scandalized. "Hi Valyros...things have been okay..." She looks at Lyka. "It's alright...your not the one being rude..."

Valyros slams the book into the gremlin's face, shouting out, "Vile creature, begone and bother us not with your filthy tounge!" Trying to banish the guy as far as possible.

[Roll]: Valyros rolled Arete (4d10): 5, 8, 9, 4 ** 2 successes (diff 6) **

Grus, "Hey, bitch! Don't touch me there!"

Valyros has received your page: "Another success or two ought to do it."

Plax nods. "Exactly. This stuff happens. I once backfired on my magic and was convinced there were these weird fighting guys coming after me," he says. He gives her a reassuring smile.

Typheous . o O ( You're welcome, Psyche. )

Psyche coughs. "Once?" She grins at Plax.

Valyros extends a hand, hair raising and billowing dramatically, "I shall touch you where ever I want to touch you! Heed my words and begone!"

[Roll]: Valyros rolled Arete (4d10): 1, 5, 8, 2 ** 0 successes (diff 6) **

*** Scourge die is a 1: Backlash Triggered ***

Typheous turns to Alex. "So... How are you?" He seems concerned about his roommate, set to ignore the floating skull.

[OOC] Psyche says, "Wow, Val."

Plax looks to Psyche. "Well, technically, I've done it once. Repeatedly, you see," he says.

[Roll]: Valyros rolled Arete (4d10): 8, 3, 1, 10 ** 1 success (diff 6) **

[OOC] Typheous says, "Nope, not touching him with that roll."

[Roll]: Valyros rolled Arete (4d10): 9, 9, 9, 2 ** 3 successes (diff 6) **

You say, "Grus, screaming obsenities, vanishes."

[OOC] You say, "Who hear has Medium?"

[OOC] Psyche points at T.

[OOC] Plax says, "Not me, thank goodness..."

Rade takes a seat as near to across from lyka as is possible, blinking as Grus dissappears. "What the..." Then smiles at Lyka. "How have you been?"

[OOC] Rade says, "Poor, poor T"

[OOC] Typheous says, "Me...."

Eclipse [to Typheous]: You can just hear his cursing voice, though it is barely a whisper at the edge of your hearing, vowing revenge and undesireable sexual acts of which it is clearly incapable.

[OOC] Rade says, "Your going to be a gibbering maniac :)"

You say, "Lyka jumps up and hugs Val. "Thank you so much! I'll never try summoning a spirit from a book again.""

Psyche glances at Valyros. "Thank you, Lady Del'zenivras." She relaxes visibly, shifting a little closer to Typheous. . o O ( Now what about Alex? )

Typheous sighs softly, looking over to Val. "Thank you." He returns his attention to Alex. . o ( Thankfully, he's quieter now. Though I seriously doubt he can go through with most of those threats. )

You say, "Alex seems to have vanished in the confusion."

Plax smiles. "Thank you, Valyros," he says, downing three glasses of juice fairly quickly, trying to get a certain taste out of his mouth.

Valyros hugs Lyka back, "It's alright dear. I'm sorry, I haven't caught your name?" Turn to Rade, "I've been alright, not too much going on other than signing up to teach some classes."

Typheous sighs, shaking his head. . o O ( Damn him... Although this is probably not the group to talk to him in... I should go out with him tonight and talk... Would you want to come along?"

Psyche frowns slightly. . o O ( Something's wrong...isn't it? I'll come, if you think it won't be a disadvantage... )

Lyka, "Lyka, Lady Del'zenivras."

[OOC] You say, "Lyka Plant, even..."

Typheous nods to Psyche, not saying anything as he starts eating, his music losing most of its tension as the skull vanished. "So what will you be teaching?" . o O ( I'll ask him if it's ok or if he wants to talk with just me. )

Rade blinks at Valyros. "Teach? I did not know you were a teacher..."

Psyche chuckles. "If she wasn't, she's cut out to be one. Even here." She eats quickly, efficiently, and not a lot.

Plax simply eats, not real talkative at the moment.

Typheous eats fairly quickly, speaking a bit less than usual in the conversation. . o O ( I'll see if he's in the room after lunch. )

Valyros says, "Glad to meet you Lyka, and please, call me Valyros."

[OOC] Psyche has never ever called her Valyros, has she? :)

Valyros says, "Well I just became one. Going to mostly spirit with a few language and anthropology courses, maybe a Life tor two."

[OOC] Plax grins. "We balance each other, since Plax never calls her Lady Del'zenivras. Too much of a pain to type". ;)

[OOC] Rade hehs.

[OOC] Typheous grins.

Valyros says, "Might you be intrested in taking one of my classes Lyka? You have some talent, as obviously shown, you just need a little more practice."

Rade smiles. "Oh? Well I'm certain you'll be an excellant instructor. Especially if you can teach everyone how to get rid of annoying spirits..."

Lyka blushes, "I'm just a minor sorceress, really. I haven't even Awakened, yet."

Valyros says, "True, but it'll be a little tougher than that, but there are a few things. Herbs, symbols, runes, metals and such that can keep them away."

Valyros says, "Well I can tell you will sometime soon, and will be a great Mage."

Typheous finishes his lunch and waits for Psyche to finish, at which point he'll try to take her tray as well as his up to the return. "I don't mean to just leave, but my roommate seems to be avoiding me and I'd like to find out why." He smiles, his music playing along with the emotions. "So, I'll see you all later, unless we need to talk now?"

Psyche finishes eating just after Typheous does, putting up a little struggle over her tray. "Let me know if it's okay with him.." she says to Typheous, apparently continuing some other conversation.

Valyros says, "Rade, they let you keep your familiar in the dorms?"

Rade shakes her head, smiling softly at Valyros. "I don't think they would if they had a choice...but...Halda can be very stubborn." She shoots a loving glance at the wolf.

Valyros says, "Well if you're ever in need of a place to run Halda around, stop by my new home."

You say, "Halda lies down under the table."

Typheous nods to Psyche, being insistent about taking her tray up. "I will." He smiles to the table. "I'll see you later then." He'll take the trays up and returns them and then heads up to his room to find Alex.

Valyros says, "See you later Typheous!"

Rade smiles at Valyros. "New home? I'll be sure to...if I can find it." She turns to wave at Typheous. "Goodbye Typheous..."

Psyche finally relinquishes her tray, watching briefly as Typheous takes it up, then turning her attention back to the table. She reaches down to pet Halda, if the wolf will let her.

Lyka, "You're quiet all of a sudden, Eagle. Is something wrong?"

[OOC] Typheous says, "Yeah, it's Psyche and Typh actually being civil. :)"

You say, "Halda seems to accept the attention without a fuss."

Plax blinks. "Hmm, Oh, guess I was just getting lost in my thoughts, that's all Lyka," he says. "Guess I'm just getting used to being back here," he comments.

Valyros says, "Don't worry, I'm sure once I tell you where it is, you won't be able to miss it."

Psyche smiles wryly. "It seems familiar and different all at once." She sighs. "Strange."

Typheous has received your page: "(Making your way to your room?)"

Rade's smile widens. "Well then I definatly shall visit." She idly reaches up to pull back a loose strand of hair. "Since it seems we'll have plenty of time."

(remotely) Typheous nodsnods. Looking out for Alex along the way.

Typheous has received your page: "Alex is in the room when you get there. He's staring out the window, again."

(remotely) Typheous walks into the room and closes the door, his music curious. "Hey, something wrong, Alex?"

Typheous has received your page: "Alex, "Close the door. I've already warded the room.""

(remotely) Typheous double-checks the door. "I did. What is it?"

Typheous pages: "(Is the ward screwing with my connection to Psyche?)"

Typheous has received your page: "(Yes.)"

[OOC] Psyche says, "Clippy, we're still leaving again in a few days, righ?"

[OOC] You say, "Yes."

Plax looks at Psyche. "Yeah, I'll agree there. But, I suppose things change a lot in a month," he says. "Maybe I'll end up taking one of your classes Valyros. Pretty beginner level though, I'll admit. Spirit isn't my strong point, really. One of my weaker spheres," he says with a shrug.

Psyche has received your page: "Typheous's mind in yours suddenly vanishes."

Typheous has received your page: ""She's going to do it, but I'm the reason it will happen.""

Valyros says, "It's alright Plax, there's no shame in that, it's an often overlooked sphere."

(remotely) Typheous tilts his head. "What? Who?" He sits down on his bed, his music soft, but still somewhat out of place.

Psyche freezes suddenly, eyes widening, a soft gasp slipping from her. "Fuck." She glances over her shoulder to Typheous's Last Known Location.

Rade blinks. "What is it Psyche?"

Plax blinks and looks at Psyche. "What's wrong?"

Valyros says, "Is something evil afoot? Or even ahead?"

Typheous has received your page: ""It's just what I foresaw right after you left. If I let myself get attached to Mer, she would die. And now, everytime I see Psyche, I know she's going to be the one who kills her.""

From Psyche: [Private Roll]: Psyche rolled Willpower (8) (8d10): 6, 5, 8, 10, 7, 9, 5, 7 ** 3 successes (diff 8) **

Psyche has received your page: "Last known location was just outside of his room."

Psyche shakes her head, cheeks flushing bright red - out to the tips of her ears. "No, sorry, it's...it's okay, I'm sure. It's probably nothing." She's practically stammering. "Don't worry. Probably...probably nothing."

(remotely) Typheous frowns, lost in thought, his music becoming much more appropriate. Several long moments pass. "How?"

Typheous has received your page: "Alex shrugs."

Valyros says, "Tell us Psyche."

Rade frows, worry crossing her eyes. "Then we should find out. Probably nothing always turns out for the worst lately."

Plax frowns. "You're not the type to stammer over nothing, Psyche. What's the problem?"

From Psyche: [Private Roll]: Psyche rolled Willpower (8) (8d10): 4, 6, 3, 2, 1, 5, 3, 6 ** BOTCH 1 (diff 8) **

[OOC] Psyche gahs!

[OOC] Eclipse cackles!

(remotely) Typheous looks to the floor. "How do you know?"

[OOC] Plax says, "And how sharp of a pokie do I need?"

[OOC] Rade blinks

[OOC] Typheous chuckles. And the funny thing is that it's not that bad... :)

Typheous has received your page: "Alex, "I just know.""

[OOC] Plax is the paranoid one, remember? ;)

Psyche's blush deepens, and she starts to shake her head again, then stops. "It's...ah, fuck. I can't hear Typh or tell where he is, or anything. He just dropped out of my mind again, like he did when we came back to Wyzdin. It's probably nothing - a ward, or something. It just...I'm so used to hearing him all the time."

(remotely) Typheous nods slowly. "Alex.... I'm sorry I thought you were just using Mer, back before we left."

Valyros says, "And he couldn't just be ignoring you/"

Plax blinks at Psyche, as this is news to him, but doesn't say anything, mainly out of shock.

[OOC] Typheous was wondering when they'd have to fess up to this...

[OOC] Plax is just figuring ICly that everyone else knew and he just never heard about it since he was locked up.

Psyche laughs a little at Valyros. "If he's ignoring me, I can feel him ignore me, and I still know where he is. Like I'd still know he woke up with a crick in his back from sleeping on my floor...but I can't even feel that. I know a rote that can shut him out of my -mind-, but..."

[OOC] Typheous chuckles.

[OOC] Psyche laughs.

Valyros says, "Could he have learned the same?"

Plax looks at Lyka and says, "Well, so much for a lunch without surprises".

Rade tilts her head, smiling at Psyche. "So you can talk to him..." She giggles. "Funny..."

Psyche lifts her shoulders. "If he did, I would know he was casting." She blushes. "I can talk to him. It's not always a good thing."

[OOC] Psyche botched her WP roll on the compulsion:never lie :P

Typheous has received your page: ""It was nothing like that. She just seemed so sad and I thought I'd cheer her up. But then it got out of control. And a few days after you left, I woke up, and she was gone. And when she came back, she was changed. It's like she took the worst of my advice and the worse of Psyche's advice and turned them into a way of life. And if I had never pitied her, she never could have come to the conclusion she did...""

[OOC] Plax says, "Gotta love that flaw, huh?"

Rade grins. "I bet...considering how much you abused him just while he was around..."

Lyka, "There are always surprises when you're around, Eagle."

Valyros says, "Hmm, odd. But just because you can't contact him doesn't mean he's in trouble. I mean, like you said, when you came here, you lost contact, and he was perfectly alright."

Plax smiles slightly. "Well, I can't disagree with that, at least not lately," he says. "Excuse me, I need to get some more juice". He takes his tray, with five glasses of juice, and returns with three full glasses a moment later.

(remotely) Typheous stands slowly, stepping closer to Alex, lifting to put a hand on his shoulder. "And now she's something else... Psyche's tearing herself up about it..." His face sterns. "Do you think it would help if I talked to Psyche? About it? Althoguh last night when I was talking with her, she just horrified at what Mer had become..." He sighs softly. "Maybe I should never had danced with her... but after what those stupid frosh did..."

Valyros says, "You're not... thirsty again are you Plax?"

[OOC] Typheous is insanely curious about this juice thing....

Psyche pauses, looking at Lyka, then the rest of the table. "I -don't- need this going around the school...it was bad enough before, when we weren't hardly speaking to each other...and now..." She shakes her head. "That's how I could tell you, Lady Del'zenivras, when he was done..." Another glance at Lyka. "...looking for things, that one time. Like I said, I'm sure it's nothing..." A faint, wry smile. "But it shakes me up. It's like there's something missing from me suddenly." Eyes turn to Valyros, curiously.

[OOC] Plax says, "Let's just say he's washing something out..."

[OOC] Psyche giggles.

Plax takes a drink of juice and nods. "Well, if I wasn't thirsty, I wouldn't get more juice, would I?"

[OOC] Typheous says, "Ah, yes. "

Rade grins. "Well let's go find him then."

Valyros says, "Well, you know, I mean Thirsty..."

Plax nods. "Of course I won't tell". He looks at Valyros. "It involves Grus. Do you need anymore detail?"

Valyros says, "Okay, that's a relief to hear."

[OOC] Plax says, "Bad choice of words..."

Psyche arches a brow at Plax, then thinks better of it. "I..if he's just talking to Alex, I don't want to interrupt..." She glances in the general direction of Typheous's room again.

Typheous has received your page: "Alex shakes his head. "It had nothing to do with you. Psyche and I both meant well, but now? I'm not sure it won't be worse if Mer lives, and that makes me feel rotten inside. Because she might be the key. Strange, isn't it? Her, the key to this whole mess?""

Plax blinks, then nods. "That's...one way to put it, Valyros". He takes another drink and looks at Psyche. "Well, I suppose I could try and locate him if you wanted me to, Psyche," he says.

Rade shakes her head, grin widening. "He won't mind...I'm sure. Come on...isn't he glad to see you whenever you come find him?"

Psyche's response is to turn positively crimson with embarrassment. She drops her face into her hands, ears still bright red. "Yes." she mumbles.

Rade giggles softly, standing up. "Well let's go find him then. If he's busy you can leave him be..."

Plax nods to Psyche and moves to draw his dagger to cut his arm for the ritual, but opts against it on second thought, given it's effects and who is here, and buckles down to do it the hard way.

[OOC] Plax says, "Attempting to bypass foci, as it's cutting himself and that'd give his regeneration away"

(remotely) Typheous nods slowly. "The key?"

Valyros says, "Come on, you shouldn't feel embarrased about that. That's a good thing isn't it?"

[OOC] Psyche says, "You guys are going to give her an aneurysm with the "it's so cute" schtick."

[OOC] Rade muwahs. "Have to, girls teasing girls you know." :)

[OOC] Typheous is suddenly glad he's not there for this.

[OOC] Plax craps..."I have a Diff 9 roll for a 2 Sphere spell...".

[OOC] Psyche squeaks.

[OOC] Rade says, "don't bother, we can deal :)"

[Roll]: Plax rolled Arete (3d10): 3, 1, 1 [Spent 1 WP for a success] ** 0 successes (diff 9) **

*** Scourge die is a 1: Backlash Triggered ***

Psyche wails, but softly. "I don't -know-! Do we have to talk about this -right here-?"

[OOC] Psyche says, "Whew."

[OOC] Rade says, "dude, I have a wolf...."

[OOC] Plax owies.

[OOC] Plax says, "Corr and Life on that Backlash, Eclipse. Scanning Spell."

[OOC] Typheous owies.

Valyros says, "Why not? It's nothing worse I've heard in other resturants or the back halls of the Adel council."

Rade giggles again, shaking her head. "No, come talk about him while we find him."

Typheous has received your page: ""Perhaps I should put it another way." He turns. "She is the stone, and Psyche the rod that can shatter her to open the door beyond the Chaos. But why, when, or how must she die to accomplish that? There are too many questions, Typheous, and I won't have her blood on my hands.""

You say, "Everyone in the room is now feeling, hearing, and tasting exactly what Plax is. Lyka blushes."

[OOC] Rade blinks.

[OOC] Rade says, "what, exactally, does that feel like? :)"

[OOC] You say, "I dunno. Ask Plax. *evil grin*"

[OOC] Plax says, "That means you're tasting, ahem, bodily liquid waste in your mouth right now..."

[OOC] Rade says, "Ewwwwwwwww"

Psyche looks up long enough to give Valyros a traumatised look. "Just because other people do it doesn't mean it's -right-, Lady Del'..." She breaks off, eyes widening as she looks at Plax and makes a face. "What the fuck kind of juice is that?"

Halda coughs.

(remotely) Typheous squeezes Alex's shoulder. "Alex, it won't be your fault... if that happens. You didn't make it happen."

Valyros says, "EEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

[OOC] Typheous is suddenly glad he's not there.

Plax looks around. "Umm, I think I just backlashed," he says. "Well, like I said. I was drinking juice to get the taste out of my mouth. From Grus. When he introduced me to, ahem, Yellow Snow".

Plax starts drinking juice. A lot.

Rade gags suddenly, hands clutching for her throat. "Aaagh....what...." She makes every effort to keep from emptying her stomach right there.

[OOC] Rade says, "And what's he feeeeeling? :)"

You say, "Lyka follows Psyche's example, and it is only a matter of seconds before there is a long line to the juice counter."

[OOC] Rade says, "wait, nevermind, traumatized enough as is"

Typheous has received your page: ""Yeah, I know. Promise me something, Typheous?""

Psyche goes for her usual water.

(remotely) Typheous steps up next to Alex at the window. "What, Alex?"

Plax is hearing the conversation, and you can all hear what Plax sounds like to himself, which is, well, pretty mundane. You also might feel that tingling in your feet, where Plax's claws extend out. He's feeling, at the moment, very embarrassed and very desperate for juice, which he keeps downing until he gets that taste out of his mouth.

Psyche pages: "Life 3 give me a chance at killing his perception of the taste for a time?"

Rade fumbles through her herb pouch until she finds a mint leaf and chews it like it's her job. "Well...Psyche...shall we go?"

Typheous has received your page: ""Don't tell Psyche what we discussed just now. Swear to me.""

Psyche has received your page: "Yes."

Valyros says, "You got another one of those Rade?"

Rade nods, smiling weakly and pulling out another for Valyros.

Psyche says, "Hold on...Plax...hold still, let me try and clear that out for you?"

Valyros takes the leaf and starts chewing and swishing the stuff around in her mouth.

Plax looks at the others. "I think I'm going to go, ah, quarrentine myself in my room until this wears off," he says. "Then nothing might accidentally slip". He stands. "My apologies," he says politely before pausing. "Alright, Psyche," he says.

(remotely) Typheous looks out the window for a very long time. "I won't tell her. I swear." He seems distracted now.

Typheous has received your page: "Alex nods, and you feel Psyche's mind in your own, again, as well as a very unpleasant taste."

Psyche has received your page: "Typh's mind reappears."

Psyche bites the inside of her lip, tasting the blood in her mouth, eyes half-closing. She pauses, a moment. "He's back, Rade. It's okay." And then commences to mumbling about chemicals changing, and the body feeling different.

(remotely) Typheous opens and closes his mouth again, confused at the taste. "And here I thought the issues troubling you were just me and Pscyhe..."

Psyche pages: "Life 3 + focus = diff 5, yes?"

Typheous . o O ( What the hell have you been eating? )

Psyche has received your page: "Yes"

Valyros says, "So... what are your plans after lunch?"

Psyche . o O ( Where the fuck have you been? No, wait, I'm casting. )

[Roll]: Psyche rolled Arete (3d10): 4, 7, 6 ** 2 successes (diff 5) **

[Roll]: Psyche rolled Arete (3d10): 2, 1, 9 ** 0 successes (diff 5) **

*** Scourge die is a 1: Backlash Triggered ***

[OOC] Psyche says, "Ahem."

Plax shrugs. "Well, I'll either quarrentine myself or go flying for awhile".

Rade looks pouty, sighing and sitting back down at the table. "Oh...well alright then."

[OOC] Psyche says, "Clippy?"

[OOC] Plax hopes nobody minds feeling like they're flying at high speeds...:)

[OOC] Rade hehs

[OOC] Psyche assumes I -needed- more than two, to have any duration.

[OOC] You say, "Backlash isn't a problem on this one."

[OOC] Psyche whews.

[Roll]: Psyche rolled Arete (3d10): 9, 9, 7 ** 3 successes (diff 5) **

[OOC] Psyche says, "There we go. 1 Effect, 1 target, 3 succ. Nullify the taste."

[OOC] Psyche says, "3 duration."

Valyros says, "Flying might be nice..."

[OOC] Plax says, "Just the nasty taste, or all taste?"

[OOC] Psyche says, "Just the nasty one."

[OOC] Rade grins.

You say, "The taste fades as abruptly as it appeared, leaving the taste of fresh snow on your tongues."

Psyche relaxes, leaning back. . o O ( What the fuck happened? You vanished! )

Plax nods as the nasty taste goes away. "Thank you," he says to Psyche before looking to Valyros. "Though I think I'd rather be alone for awhile". He stands. "If you'll excuse me," he says, taking his tray, depositing it, and heading off.

Typheous . o O ( What? Did the cafeteria run out of food and you're eating snow? Alex had a ward up, that's all. ) )

Valyros says, "Of course Plax."

Typheous has received your page: "Alex shrugs. "It's fine by me. I never gave you shit about Gadrielle, did I?" His grin is positively villainous."

Plax pages: "(for a sense of feeling, Plax is currently a bit depressed, the embarrassment fading, and a bit frustrated)"

Rade props her elbows up on the table and settles her chin into her hands, still looking pouty as she watches the group.

(remotely) Plax goes flying about for awhile, trying to clear his head.

Plax has received your page: "(given that everyone is feeling what he is, you might as well announce it on MS)"

(remotely) Typheous chuckles. "No, but you should have. Shit, she was a bitch...." He shakes his head. "At least Psyche's a different kind of bitch." His music seems to be picking up. "So... Want to go out this evening? I think I missed last night."

You say, "Halda lies back down."

Psyche says softly, "I'm going to go..." She glances at Plax, and breaks off. "Somewhere. If you -have- to hear, Rade..." Although it looks like it pains her. . o O ( No. Don't ask. Don't ever ask. Fucking disgusting. And...okay. Scared me. And now the whole fucking group knows about...this. )

Valyros looks at Rade questionably.

[OOC] Plax says, "So you all know, for a sense of feeling, Plax is currently a bit depressed, the embarrassment fading, and a bit frustrated, since you're feeling him right now."

Typheous has received your page: ""Sure. I understand you were a little busy last night..." He smirks, tension hidden under his usual puckish demeanor."

Rade shakes her head, still in her hands. "No...it's alright. Go ahead."

(remotely) Typheous turns to face him, his music picking up a slightly offended note. "Nothing happened, ok? Well, ok, fine, we kissed, but nothing else. Hell, I even slept on her floor." His face drops to look directly toward where Psyche would be briefly. "And... would you mind her coming along?"

Plax has received your page: "Okay. Space is kind of limited today. It's like someone lowered the sky to about 100 feet."

Typheous . o O ( Well.. we can't keep secrets for ever. *he seems to stiffle a tought* How much do they know? )

Psyche's blush reappears as she gathers her bag. "I'll...see you guys later, then?"

Psyche . o O ( Just about everything...? )

Typheous has received your page: ""Sure, Typh. It's been a while since I've seen you with a hangover.""

Valyros says, "Go and knock Typheous off his feet!"

Psyche squeals in mortification. . o O ( And assuming more! )

Psyche says, "It's not -like- that!"

Rade smiles at Valyros' words, turning to look at Psyche. "Of course...have fun."

Lyka, "Don't have too much fun, you too. I think I'm going to go to my room to study for a bit."

You say, "She hesitates."

(remotely) Plax goes and lands on a tree, trying to sort out his feelings and such. Finally, he just decides to attempt to meditate for awhile.

(remotely) Typheous rolls his eye. "Look, if you can get her to drink, more power to you. I succeeded once while we were out and that was with a very good reason attached to it."

Lyka, "While you were gone, did Plax... Did he ever talk about me?"

Typheous has received your page: ""Did it involve manacles and a plugged nose?""

Typheous . o O ( Just like everyone else, it seems. Shall I meet you somewhere? And Alex says it's fine if you come tonight. )

(remotely) Typheous smirks. "Almost. Although the setting was all wrong that time."

Psyche pauses before going, then nods at Lyka. "He...was...worried about what you were going to think, with everything...happening so suddenly."

Plax pages: "(What do I have to roll for meditation? Just to relax a bit)"

Typheous has received your page: "Alex shakes his head. "We are REALLY going to have to swap stories about your little trip, sometime.""

Plax has received your page: "Int + Meditation."

Rade tilts her head to look at Lyka, smiling slightly, though staying silent.

(remotely) Typheous chuckles. "Yes... a lot happened. And now I'm not supposed to talk about it. At least, for now."

[Roll]: Plax rolled Intelligence (3) and Meditation (2) (5d10): 6, 4, 7, 8, 10 No diff given.

Plax pages: "4"

Valyros says, "I am sorry, but I have not known Plax that long."

[OOC] Plax says, "Meditative state for feelings now."

You say, "Lyka nods, smiling slightly. "Okay. Anyway. See you around." She scampers off."

Psyche says quietly, just before Lyka's out of earshot, "And he missed you." And heads away.

Valyros says, "Bye Lyka, may our paths intertwine again."

Psyche . o O ( Where do you want to meet? What happened - why was he warding? )

Valyros finishes her tray, "So Rade, would you like ot see my home, you and Halda run around it a bit?"

Typheous . o O ( He wanted to talk, privately. )

Rade waves at the girl, starting to plop her head back in her hands again as Valyros speaks up. She smiles at the woman. "I think I'd like that...where is it?"

(remotely) Plax just meditates for awhile (has little to do, as he's convinced that all his senses are transferred to others, so he's trying to prevent anything about the trip from leaking out by mistake).

Psyche . o O ( *a hint of curiosity, though she doesn't ask* Oh, okay. Where shall I meet you? )

Valyros says, "Just on th eoutskirts of the campus."

(remotely) Typheous glance back to the window. "I should go.. Psyche and I were trying to catch up on studying, since we're a month behind... See you at dinner?"

Plax has received your page: "(You realize that if your Effect had been just the tiniest bit flashier, it would have been a double-botched Vulgar spell, don't you? *grin*)"

Valyros takes her tray to the proper recptical and leads Rade out to her new home.

Typheous . o O ( I... I can't say. And to meet, I should be down in a few minutes, if you wanted to wait... or we could just meet at the library. )

Rade taps Halda as she stands to follow Valyros out.

Plax pages: "(Oh, I know. But, yeah, just let me know when it's safe for Plax to move about again)"

Valyros has received your page: "I'm giving you pretty much free reign over the appearance of your home, by the way. Just keep in mind that it was designed by a mage with the sense of humor of an 8-year-old boy..."

Plax pages: "(I'm just glad I spent the WP on that roll, is all I know)"

Typheous has received your page: "Alex nods. "Good luck on that. At least she's good for you in one obvious way.""

Psyche . o O ( It's okay, Typh. I'll wait out front. )

Valyros leads Rade to a good sized cottage with a green and black motief, leaves embroitered in the green part and scantilly clad elven women in the black. "Welcome to my new home!" as she opens the door inviting Rade in.

Plax has received your page: "(Sorry, but I really don't have much I can do with you, atm. Feel free to jump in and do something new whenever you like. The bad taste thing was only a scene long, thanks to that WP...)"

(remotely) Typheous chuckles, rolling his eye. "Yeah, well..." He shakes his head and picks up his things. "There's a lot I've learned from her..." He seems to get a bit distant. "Although that aura is going to take some work to get around."

[OOC] Rade says, "I'm going to assume the scantilly clad elven women are statues? :)"

Plax pages: "(*nods* Oh, I understand. Plax is just playing out his Code of Honor thing and won't endanger the mission with the possibility that something will leak out)"

[OOC] Valyros says, "Just two by the doorway."

Typheous has received your page: "Alex raises an eyebrow. "Like the talking head said?" He grins. "Your music probably doesn't add much to the occasion, you know. Nothing spoils the mood quite like brothel music in the bedroom...""

(remotely) Plax quits meditating until he figures it's safe from the backlash, then heads out to the archery range, looking for Master Spinwind, his old archery teacher, thinking maybe he can go do a bit of shooting. He does pick up his weapons from his room before heading there, however.

(remotely) Typheous smirks, shooting Alex a mock annoyed look. "I have better taste in music than that!" He chuckles. "See you later." He slips out the door.

Plax pages: "(quits meditation /when/ he figures...)"

Rade's eyes widen as she looks over the cottage, "It's lovely Valyros...a beautiful home." Averting her eyes from the statues she looks down at Halda. "Go play for a bit...I'll be back." She steps through the door, looking about the cottage.

Plax has received your page: "Nomin is headed into the dorm just as you're headed out. "Hey, Plax. What have you been up to? Studying hard?"\"

Psyche waits out front. (Who has MS?)

Halda snorts_contemptuously.

[OOC] You say, "Who wants MS?"

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous heads down the hall and stairs. . o O ( On my way now, Psyche. )

(remotely) Plax pauses. "Eh, having an interesting lunch. Managed to botch an effect and, well, everyone took on my senses for awhile there it seems," he says. "Not the best lunch I've had".

[OOC] Rade says, "M what?"

[OOC] Plax says, "Main Screen"

[OOC] Rade says, "oh"

Plax has received your page: "Nomin, "Couldn't have been too bad, though. You were eating lunch, after all. Or was Lyka with you. I'd have blushed until I exploded.""

Valyros 's walls are covered with tapestries and curtains, half of them showing Light elves weaving nature magic and assaulting marauding barbarian tribes in their forest, the other half with Dark elves summoning demons and mecriously slaughtering dwarves from below.

Plax pages: "Um, yeah, she was there. I was sitting next to her at the time."

Valyros motions to a sopha, "Please, sit."

Plax has received your page: ""Oh. I guess that would have been embarrassing.""

Plax pages: "A tad bit, yes. I was just heading out to do a bit of archery practice myself. After all, I've got exams in that coming up too."

Plax has received your page: ""So I see. Did Rade come back with you? I haven't seen her, yet.""

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche, when he gets out, is waiting by the door. She falls into step with him without a word spoken. . o O ( All I want to know is...is he okay? )

(remotely) Plax nods. "Yeah, she was in the room at the time, too. Her and Halda. I'm not sure where they went though. I left before she did," he explains.

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous lets his hand drop to his side, inviting her to take it. . o O ( He's ok. Worried about... lots of things. )

Rade looks around as she sits, folding her hands on her lap. She studies the tapestries, as well as the decor. "It really is a beautiful home." Another glance around. "Did you decorate it yourself?"

Plax has received your page: "He looks a bit crestfallen. "Oh. I must have just missed her, then. I guess I'll just go back to my room and study. Have fun at the range, Plax.""

[OOC] Rade says, "looks like us :)"

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche does precisely that, barely flinching as she does. . o O ( Okay. You? )

(remotely) Plax nods. "Want me to tell her to go find you if I see her?" he asks.

Valyros says, "No, I have to give Stephen all the creidt. He's the one that built this, in a day too. And I must admit he's got a certain talent. I think I'll be rather comfortable here. So Rade, have you had a chance to get in contact with your family and friends?"

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous squeezes your hand lightly. . o O ( I'm ok. He's given me a number of things to think about. And they don't really involve you... *he's hiding something* )

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche frowns slightly, returning the squeeze. . o O ( And you're hiding something. Is it the can't talk about...? )

Plax has received your page: "He brightens slightly. "Yeah. I'll just be in my room studying, but I'd welcome the distraction.""

(remotely) Plax smiles a little. "Know what you mean. I'll send her along if I see her then," he says, heading to the window and opening it to fly on out and head to the archery range.

[OOC] Eclipse throws monkeywrench-o into the sexually tense situation.

[OOC] Plax says, "Used up letters A-N?"

[OOC] Eclipse smirks.

Rade smiles, nodding and looking somewhat supprised. "Only a day, that's amazing. I'm sure you'll be very happy here." She chews her bottom lip a moment, before shaking her head. "No...other than my mistress Dina, and Halda...I don't have family here. My father is a long way from here...I haven't seen him since I came."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous nods slowly, his music distant. . o O ( Yes... He demanded I promise. ) He smiles over to you, openning the door to the library. . o O ( But I don't need to get you all concerned now... Back to studying? )

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche nods, pausing, looking you in the eye, her own gaze intense. "It's okay to keep secrets. I trust you. Stop worrying about it."

Valyros says, "Dina, is she your father's friend or some such? Who is your father, may I ask and what about your mother?"

Plax has received your page: "There are a few other students practicing out here. Master Spinwind is only keeping half an eye on the proceedings while he works on making arrows."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous smiles, closing his eye briefly. "Thank you." He squeezes you hand again.

(remotely) Plax lands nearby and approaches Master Spinwind. "Is there room for one more, Master Spinwind?" he asks, in case the field is reserved or something.

Plax has received your page: ""Ah, Plax! I had heard that you were back. Certainly. Glad to see you getting back into your old routine.""

[OOC] Eclipse is Tempted...

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche murmurs quietly, "Wouldn't be much of a relationship if I didn't..." There's something wry about the words. She turns ack to the door.

[OOC] Valyros says, "Us or them?"

[OOC] Typheous hides.

[OOC] You say, "Both."

(remotely) Plax smiles. "Good to be back, Master Spinwind," he says. He steps up to the line and fires a few arrows, firing quite quickly and accurately, a bit improved from the past with his speed.

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous holds the door for her and then follows Psyche in. "No, I suppose not." . o O ( And I trust you, Psyche. )

Plax pages: "(Rapid Shot Advanced Rule)"

Rade shakes her head. "Dina is my mistress...she teaches me and guides...but, she did not know my family." She smiles. "My father is my father, I love him, and miss him, and hope he's safe. I should go to visit him. My mother..." She hesitates, wavering. "She's gone..."

[OOC] Rade dives for cover.

[OOC] Plax cowers.

[OOC] Typheous weilds Metagaming 4: Distract GM with food.

Valyros says, "Oh, I'm sorry about that. How did she... die may I ask."

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche heads back to the table where they'd been in the morning. . o O ( Of course you do. ) There's no arrogance to the thought, just a strangely innocent I-never-doubted-that to it. "Wonder when Master Liriel will be free..."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous restrains himself from hold the chair out for Psyche, figuring he'd never hear the end of it if he did. "I don't know. We could go check."

[OOC] Eclipse was already distracted by food, actually...

Plax pages: "(Won't roll it unless required, as it's mainly just practice stuff right now)"

(to Plax) Eclipse nods.

Rade shakes her head. "Oh she didn't..." Worry crosses her face. "At least...I hope not. She just left oneday, and never came back..."

[OOC] Rade whoots

[OOC] Psyche snickers.

[OOC] Rade says, "It's kinda weird actually, usually around this time I'm thinking pizza and soda...not pancakes and toast....."

[OOC] Eclipse is eating cereal, actually...

(remotely) Plax finishes his practice, then speaks to Master Spinwind again. "How have you been, Master Spinwind?" he asks.

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche pulls out her own chair and takes a seat, pulling a book out. "He'll let me know when he wants to talk to me."

[OOC] Psyche says, "Oooh, pizza."

[OOC] Rade says, "ooo, I need cereal"

[OOC] Psyche aughs as Frogger dies.

Valyros says, "Well I sincerly hope she comes back. Althought it might be tough since Dana's been raising you."

Plax has received your page: ""Worried." He smiles ironically. "I'm sure you can understand why. And yourself?""

[OOC] Rade ponders breaking out an MRE

[OOC] You say, "A what?"

[OOC] Rade says, "Meal ready to eat, I stole a bunch :)"

[OOC] Valyros says, ""Ech, this tastes like toliet paper... "Um, that IS the toilet paper.""

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous settles into the chair next to her this time, letting his foot wander over towards yours. "Where were we then..."

(remotely) Plax considers that. "Worried myself," he says. "Though you could understand why as well. Busy, obviously. Adjusting to being back here. It's odd, really, after being gone for only a month or so, how different it is". He shrugs.

[OOC] Typheous chuckles.

[OOC] Typheous says, "Oh, and becareful with pizza over there, Rade."

[OOC] You say, "Why aren't my cornflakes floating? Because they're good for you. I still find it suspicious..."

[OOC] Typheous gets confused.

Rade nods quietly, shaking her head. "I don't know if she will...but I hope maybe I'll get to see her again someday. I don't think Dina will mind...but..." she smiles. "None of that really matters right now...since we've got other things to worry about don't we?"

[OOC] Rade says, "Your cornflakes are suicidal Clippy"

Plax has received your page: ""Some things have changed, yes, but many have not.""

[OOC] Rade says, "and what's wrong with the pizza? :)"

[OOC] Typheous says, "They like to put fish and things on it."

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche crosses your ankle with hers, shifting her book over toward you a bit. "I was explaining to you all of the rules of order you missed out on while making spitballs?" There's a mischievous grin.

[OOC] Rade says, "ewwww"

[OOC] Rade says, "we'll we have pizza on base, so it's safe :)"

[OOC] You say, "Actually, I decided to experiment this week and bought Total. How is it that Cheerios have like 0 sugar and taste great, but Total has 3-4g sugar and tastes really bland? And the flakes really do sink."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous's music picks up a int of reminisance. "I haven't made spitballs since.. I was back home..."

[OOC] Typheous says, "Because it's lead-sugar."

(remotely) Plax nods. "True enough," he says. "Though I'm sure you're busy enough as it is, Master Spinwind. I'll see you about," he says.

Valyros says, "Well knowing who your mother is a very important part of being a family. My people took it to the extreme, if you did not have a mother, you did not have a family. I knew my mother rather well but only talked to my father once in a while. That and like most Dark elf births, mine was one of simple lust."

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche giggles softly. "I see." She starts explaining.

[OOC] Valyros says, "It's Heavy Sugar."

[OOC] You say, "I don't think it's the sugar. I think it's the weight of all those one-a-day vitamins piggy-backing on the poor corn flakes..."

[OOC] Psyche says, "S2O?"

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous actually listens, though his foot seems be more interested in distracting Psyche.

Plax has received your page: "He shrugs. "Just an old man's idle work, Plax. But if you have homework to do, I can certainly understand. You came to school to learn, after all.""

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche is pretty adamant about not being distracted. Besides, she loves this stuff.

Rade blushes slightly. "L...lust? I see...well, I'm glad my father didn't think that way." She wrings her hands. "My mother left before I met Halda...I don't like to think of what might have happened..."

[OOC] Rade eats Apple Jacks.

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous tries the old stretch-to-put-your-arm-around-her trick during a particularly boring section. His music waxes between being on the side of distraction and the side of helping.

(remotely) Plax chuckles. "Nah, not old, and I don't really have much homework. I've been back what, a day?" He shrugs. "Enjoy the day, Master Spinwind". Unless he's detained, he heads off to his room again.

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche gives him a funny look. . o O ( Oh, that was just about the least subtle thing I've ever seen. Are you paying attention? ) She mostly ignores the music, and keeps lecturing. It's clear -Psyche- is enjoying herself.

[OOC] Eclipse sings to the tune of an Oingo Boingo song. "Nothing good ever happens to Plax..."

Plax has received your page: "You reach your room without incident."

[OOC] Rade says, "awww, poor Plax"

[OOC] Psyche peers.

[OOC] You say, "Grus peed in his mouth last session just when he thought he was about to get some..."

[OOC] Psyche says, "And now if he gets some, half the campus will know :)"

[OOC] Plax says, "No, that effect has worn off. Thank goodness."

[OOC] Eclipse grins.

Valyros reaches over and gently pats Rade on the head, "Don't worry about it. I am sure she is somewhere alright." She looks down at the younger elf a tad uncertain, "Rade... if it's alright, I could be kinda like a surogate mother? I mean, I know you're old enough to function properly, but... you're still so young and have a lot to learn. If you wish, I could help you learn about both our people." Letting out a slight sigh, "I've had enough experience with my own children, but I just wished..."

[OOC] You say, "Not as bad as when Nikki Walker backlashed and was seeing everyone's athlete's foot and anal rashes for the rest of the session..."

[OOC] Rade says, "ewww"

[OOC] Psyche says, "Valyros, everyone's mom."

[OOC] Rade hehs

(remotely) Plax lands and looks over at his avatar. "It's just one of those days, isn't it?" he asks.

[OOC] You say, "She'd make a great Nephandus, don't you think?"

[OOC] Psyche loves how Hotmail keeps sending her messages that sy, essentially, "Your account sucks. Pay to upgrade."

[OOC] Plax rephrases the message. "We make your account suck. We need money. Pay to upgrade".

Plax has received your page: "Eagle, "Not the ideal day, no.""

[OOC] Psyche giggles.

Rade tilts her head at Valyros, smiling slightly. "I'm not sure about a mother...but I would like to learn...there's so much I still don't know."

(remotely) Plax shrugs. "All I need now is to find Vance lurking under my bed or something and it'd be complete". He sighs. "And now, with Lyka, well, she's going to know how I feel, but I can't act on it," he says. "It's like I'm here, but I don't belong here".

Valyros says, "Of course seilvrine. And I would be more than glad to impart that knowledge to you."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous keeps his arm there as long as Psyche doesn't mind, becoming more interested in the lecture suddenly. . o O ( Shall I just stop trying to be subtle? )

Plax has received your page: "Eagle, "Ha. Let's hope Vance doesn't show up.""

Rade's smile broadens. "Maybe someday I could meet your family?"

[OOC] Eclipse sings more Oingo Boingo parody...

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche shifts her chair slightly, making the position more comfortable. . o O ( That was unsubtle bordering on stupid. How old -are- you? Twelve? ) She takes advantage of his attentiveness to speed up the lecture a bit.

Plax has received your page: "Vance is not, in fact, under your bed when you arrive. Mereke, however, is standing outside of your door. "Hello, Eagle.""

Valyros says, "I hope so. I'd like to show you Adel. It's riddled with strife and tension between our two people, but it is the best we have done so far. When we used to kill each other on sight."

[OOC] You say, "Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse than Vance..."

[OOC] Rade says, "poor, poor plax"

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous tries his best to keep up, his music losing the playful edge and settling in for business. . o O ( Do you mind where my arm is? )

[OOC] Plax at least has weapons...

[OOC] Rade says, "kill first, ask questions later"

[OOC] Typheous is glad he's just being cuddly in the library.

[OOC] Rade eyes Ty

(remotely) Plax snickers. "Don't think I could...". He pauses and looks over at Mereke. "Hello, Mereke," he says, not knowing what Psyche and Typh know about her.

[OOC] Plax says, "And Plax doesn't know...damn..."

[OOC] Eclipse oh dears. "This is going to be better than I thought, then..."

[OOC] Valyros has Spirit 4 so we could interogate the wraith.

[OOC] Psyche wantstoknow!

[OOC] Plax says, "1 name: Mereke"

[OOC] Psyche says, "Oh, dear."

[OOC] Plax says, "1 Location: Plax's room"

Plax has received your page: "She bats her eyes. "So, can you tell me what you were up to for the last couple months, or have you been sworn to secrecy, too?""

[OOC] Psyche says, "1 World, 1 People, 1 Love!"

[OOC] You say, "Infinite hose job."

(remotely) Plax shakes his head. "Sworn to secrecy, I'm afraid," he says. "Technically a field trip," he says.

[OOC] Typheous acks.

Rade's smile fades slightly. "That's aweful...maybe we can help some..."

[OOC] Rade pets Plax

Plax has received your page: ""Oo, sounds exciting. What are you going to do now?""

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche turns, grinning at Typheous. "When was the last time I -didn't- say something when you annoyed me?"

Plax pages: "Right now? Stand here, breathe, maybe talk."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous chuckles softly. "Just making sure. We should get back to the lecture."

Plax has received your page: "She pouts ever so slightly. "I meant what did you have in mind for when you got back to your room?""

[OOC] Plax hugs that Code of Honor tightly.

[OOC] Typheous chckles.

[OOC] Rade says, "Bah, lower your humaity, it's fun"

[OOC] You say, "Though if Lyka showed up, we might have an episode of Jerry Springer on our hands..."

Valyros says, "I sure hope so. Lori says that our people can never really accept one another. We're too long lived and are able to remember old hatreds and feuds for millenia. Me, I hope that is not the case."

(remotely) Plax shrugs. "I don't know. Might read. Might relax. Didn't have anything specific in mind. Just got done with some archery practice".

Plax pages: "What brings you up here?"

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche nestles a little bit into his arm before beginning where she'd left off, still at the increased pace. "Stop me if you're lost."

[OOC] Typheous goes for that Path of Boredom or what ever it was on the WoD jokes page that gamerchick had the link to.

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous nods. "I will." He keeps up fairly well, only one or twice making her stop and go back.

Plax has received your page: "She toys with her hair. "I don't know. It's just that we've never had much of a chance to get to know each other. I hear you're the Governor's son. Is that true?""

(remotely) Plax nods. "I am," he says politely.

[OOC] Eclipse is still disappointed he never got to finish playing the Humanity Loss Drinking Game...

[OOC] Typheous giggles.

Rade nods, reaching out to touch Valyros on the arm. "My mother always said it's never too late to change. Everything can learn to live together. It's natures way.

[OOC] Rade laughs

Plax has received your page: ""So, does that makes you a nobleman. I've heard that nobles are real gentlemen.""

(remotely) Plax considers that. "I suppose it does, technically, make me nobility. I don't think much of it though, unless I've, for some reason, got to play politics," he says.

Valyros smiles and wraps a wing around Rade, "Thank you for that, your mother sounds like someone we could definately use in Adel..."

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche lectures, then, and reviews a whole semester of Law, up to where they left campus. Then digs out the assignment list.

[OOC] Eclipse though I managed to creep out Beth's entire tabletop group with my character. I think the scars and the obsession with Tide is what put him over the top into Neverland. Not bothering to put on any clothes when he showed up naked in an apartment full of people probably didn't help, though...

Plax has received your page: ""So, what do you like to play if not politics?""

[OOC] Rade says, "yeah, that might be seen as a bit...weird. :)"

[OOC] You say, "In his defense, he thought he was dreaming, at the time..."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous spends it mostly keeping up, asking occasionally, and sighing loudly at the assignment book.

Rade smiles. "Maybe she's there? Who knows?"

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche scans down the list. "A fair number of these we can do together...if you want help. I've already read the book, I usually just review it before class every day."

(remotely) Plax shrugs. "I tend not to play much anymore," he says. "Sorry, I've got nothing available to offer," he says, a slight emphasis on the nothing available.

Valyros says, "I sincerly hope so. As I hope that my little ones are there as well, and haven't killed each other yet..."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous scans the list. "That would be nice, yes..." He blinks, his music mirroring his surprise. "You what?"

Rade shakes her head. "Don't worry, I'm sure everything's alright."

Plax has received your page: "She shrugs and suddenly seems to shift tactics. "Okay. I won't press you. I just thought it would be interesting to get to know you. You've changed while you were away, haven't you?""

Valyros says, "I certainly pray so, to what ever gods are left, I pray so..."

(remotely) Plax shrugs. "Experiences always change a person. Sometimes in significant ways, sometimes in minor ways, but the person is changed. I will say I'm a bit more closed-mouthed, but a lot of it is with me having to maintain my silence on certain topics. I do try and be friendly, yes, but it's hard to be friendly and also be as necessarily distant as I have to be".

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche gestures to the book. "I read it. The first week or two of class, I read the book all the way through. Always...and then in the mornings, I get up and review what's going to be covered that day. And then in the evenings I read over my notes and check the book to see if there's anything I missed." She gives him a blank why-are-you-so-surprised look.

Plax has received your page: ""Then don't let me distract you from whatever task you had in mind." She stands aside and beckons you to go through the door. "I won't follow. I know where I'm not wanted, you know.""

Rade nods, smiling. "Then I pray with you...I'm tired of destruction."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous blinks several times. "But... why?"

Valyros says, "You are very wise beyond your time. It took me a century to learn that leason."

(remotely) Plax nods. "Thank you. I'm not very good company right now, I'm afraid, and I'm not myself. Forgive any rudeness I may seem to be pushing. My emotional judgement is a bit off right now. Perhaps in a few weeks I will be able to be more direct about what has happened, but not now". He heads into his room.

Plax has received your page: "(Per + Alertness, dif 8)"

[OOC] Psyche watches Typheous have a study crisis.

[Roll]: Plax rolled Perception (3) and Alertness (3) (6d10): 6, 6, 9, 7, 8, 10 ** 3 successes (diff 8) **

[OOC] Plax woots!

[OOC] Typheous says, "You're the one with the character reading the entire book already..."

[OOC] Psyche has to share. May I?

Rade blushes. "I'm not wise...I've just...had good teachers."

[OOC] Rade blinks

Plax has received your page: "You hear a dagger come out of it's sheath immediately behind you. (Reaction?)"

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous nods. "I will." He keeps up fairly well, only one or twice making her stop and go back.

(to Eclipse and Typheous) Psyche lectures, then, and reviews a whole semester of Law, up to where they left campus. Then digs out the assignment list.

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous spends it mostly keeping up, asking occasionally, and sighing loudly at the assignment book.

(to Eclipse and Typheous) Psyche scans down the list. "A fair number of these we can do together...if you want help. I've already read the book, I usually just review it before class every day."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous scans the list. "That would be nice, yes..." He blinks, his music mirroring his surprise. "You what?"

(to Eclipse and Typheous) Psyche gestures to the book. "I read it. The first week or two of class, I read the book all the way through. Always...and then in the mornings, I get up and review what's going to be covered that day. And then in the evenings I read over my notes and check the book to see if there's anything I missed." She gives him a blank why-are-you-so-surprised look.

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous blinks several times. "But... why?"

(remotely) Plax grabs the hilt of his sai and turns around quickly, ready to draw it, and to see who has the dagger and what the situation is.

[OOC] Plax says, "Psyche is probably going to kill me for this..."

Plax has received your page: "Mereke has just drawn a dagger and is slicing at you with it. (parry, I presume?)"

[OOC] Rade says, "heh"

Plax pages: "Correct. Diff is 6 or 7 with a sai (which has -2 diff to disarm, btw)"

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche stares at you, evenly, her voice that of someone speaking to a small child. "So that I'm sure I've learned what I need to learn..."

Plax has received your page: "(Uh... I don't know, off the top of my head. Give me a sec...)"

Plax has received your page: "(6)"

[Roll]: Plax rolled Dexterity (4) and Melee (2) (6d10): 6, 7, 10, 7, 6, 9 ** 6 successes (diff 6) **

[Roll]: Eclipse rolled dice (7d10): 5, 2, 5, 3, 6, 1, 2 ** 2 successes (diff 4) **

[OOC] Rade says, "that can't be good"

[OOC] Psyche uh-ohs.

Plax has received your page: "You easily turn aside her weapon, which sinks into the door frame."

[OOC] Plax says, "Someone just drew a dagger on Plax. He's not happy."

[OOC] Psyche says, "Are you killing my Seeking?"

Plax has received your page: "(Init)"

(remotely) Plax doesn't attack her, however, holding his sai in a ready position. "Mereke. What the hell was that for?"

[Roll]: Plax rolled Initiative (5d10): 3, 9, 6, 1, 2 ** 1 success (diff 4) **

[Roll]: Eclipse rolled dice (5d10): 4, 5, 2, 4, 3 ** 3 successes (diff 4) **

Valyros says, "Don't sell yourself short Rade, you're a very bright and extordinary young elf. I see great things coming from you in the future. I just hope some day you will be able to lead your people into a better future."

Plax has received your page: "She takes a long step back. "I wanted to see for sure. You're one of them, aren't you? One of them!" People are starting to emerge from their rooms to investigate the distrubance."

[OOC] You say, "It had to happen sometime..."

[OOC] Psyche cries!

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous sighs. "Nevermind. I think we're looking at this differently..."

(remotely) Plax looks at her. "What? That you attacked me and I turned your dagger means I'm one of some mystical group? What are you talking about?" he asks.

Plax has received your page: "She screams and flees down the hall, shouting about "one of them.""

(remotely) Plax scratches his head. "What the fuck was that about?" He takes the dagger from the door, closes the door to his room after he enters, and flies out, intending to find Lori.

Plax has received your page: "Nomin, "What was she talking about?" Alex, "Are you alright, Plax?" Vance, "What the fuck is that bitch going on about?""

(remotely) Plax retcons last pose.

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche stares at you blankly. "How are you looking at this...?"

[OOC] Rade smirks.

[OOC] Rade says, "that statement was increadibly ironic :)"

Rade smiles, shaking her head. "I'm no leader...but I'd like to help. Maybe someday."

(remotely) Plax shrugs. "Beats me. I wouldn't tell her about what happened while I was gone, I heard her unsheath a dagger, I turned around and she attacked me," he says. "I'm fine, I turned her dagger". He takes it from the door. "I think I'm going to go find one of the teachers and see if Mereke has gone insane or something," he says. "She hasn't gone insane, has she?" he asks.

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous chuckles. "I prefer to learn in class, not before."

[OOC] Plax steals Mereke's dagger. :)

Valyros says, "Alright. It's surprising someone that didn't want to lead something. But still, I am sure you will and you have all eternity to do so."

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche frowns. "But that's so inefficient. How will you know what questions to ask, and what you don't understand, if you haven't had a chance to synthesize it?"

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous studies Psyche's face. "But that's what we're doing now...."

Plax has received your page: "Alex turns and quietly returns to his room. Vance, "She was always out of her mind. Now she's killing blokes, and the profs won't even stop her!""

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche shakes her head. "But -now- you should be able to just review everything and refresh your memory, then concentrate on one or two things that are the most difficult for you. Do you go into your exams just hoping you'll get the right answers?"

(remotely) Plax frowns. "Right. I think I'll go have a chat with a professor then," he says. "Thanks for the information," he says, heading into his room, closing (and locking) his door, and flying out the window, hunting for Lori.

Rade shrugs lightly, "I don't know...maybe someday. But...we've got other things to take care of first."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous's music is just as confused as he is. "Only when I've forgotten about them."

Plax has received your page: "You reach Lori's clinic, but Liriel, of all people, is sitting in the foyer. He looks up from a book and smiles. "Plax. Whatever is the matter?""

Valyros says, "Things to do, worlds to save. Same old grind."

Plax pages: "(Refresher on Liriel? He was one of the profs who was at the dinner, right?)"

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche sighs, leaning back against his arm for a moment. "If it weren't for me having missed months of class, I'd have all of my studying done for exams by now, and spend the next couple of days relaxing and doing things I enjoyed."

Plax has received your page: "(He's kind of the unofficial headmaster. He's in charge of discipline and is Psyche's mentor)"

Plax pages: "(*nods*)"

Rade smiles, though worry still touches her eyes. "If we can manage."

(remotely) Plax frowns. "Master Liriel, Mereke just attacked me outside my room, after I wouldn't tell her where I was during these last months, when my back was turned," he says, holding up the dagger. "I countered it with my sai, she backed off and called me 'one of them'".

Valyros says, "We will find something. We have to..."

Plax pages: "Then she ran off screaming"

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous chuckles softly. "And I would be right where I am now, save it might be at the bar doing this with Alex."

Plax has received your page: "He nods. "She was just trying to confirm what she already knows about you. None of the other students knows this, yet, and you are not to tell them, but Mereke Awakened under very...strenuous...circumstances while you were away.""

Valyros sits there in silence, gently hugging Rade with her arms and wings.

(remotely) Plax frowns. "But, she didn't get any proof. I just countered her dagger. She wouldn't have found anything out unless she actually cut me, which she didn't. And she knows? Why weren't we told of this?" he asks.

Rade nods, doubt tainting her voice. "I'm sure we will." She sighs, "I should probably go see where Halda's gotten off to..."

[OOC] Rade gets a camera.

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche grins at you. . o O ( You study at the bar? How? )

Valyros lets go of Rade and stands up, "Of course."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous chuckles softly. . o O ( Only when I'm deperate. Or it's dance. )

Rade giggles softly, straightening her skirts. "Probably chasing squirrls. Are you comming?"

Valyros says, "Yes, I need something fun to do after that dower speach."

Plax has received your page: ""I didn't want the others to know. It's you who needs to be careful. Her Awakening was very strange indeed, yes, very strange. But it is not as though she can harm you with a mere dagger, after all. We need to be patient with her. Yes, very patient...""

Valyros follows Rade on her search for Halda.

Rade wanders outside, looking for her wolf.

You say, "Halda is nowhere in sight."

(remotely) Plax shakes his head. "A dagger, thrown properly and with enough skill, could kill me. Difficult, yes, but not impossible. And what if she goes around telling now? I have been careful. I can't outright lie, you know that, but I've told people I've been sworn to secrecy and that it was, basically, an extended field trip, which is true enough, and that works on folks". He sighs. "I do wish I at least knew she knew. How she Awakened, I don't know, but it seems to have something to do with this. How does she know?" he asks.

[OOC] You say, "One, two, three. Three monkeywrench-os, ah ha ha!"

[OOC] Typheous chuckles.

[OOC] Plax can so see Plax once Caine is taken care of. "Caine is dead? Good". *cuts own head off*

[OOC] Typheous eeps!

Rade frowns, looking around, then calling out sing-songly. "Haaaaldaaa?"

Valyros taske out her red glove and starts crossing it over her face, chanting a couple of words in an odd tounge, the toes to look around teh area, sniffing for any sign of the wolf.

[Roll]: Valyros rolled Arete (4d10): 9, 10, 7, 7 No diff given.

[OOC] Psyche says, "Sooooooeee, wolf wolf wolf!"

[OOC] Valyros says, "Woot!"

Valyros pages: "Trying to get better senses to find Halda."

Plax has received your page: "He taps his lips with one finger. "Maintain your story or do not respond to queries that would force you to tell...uncomfortable truths. She has less respect among the students, right now, than you do. They fear her, yes, but very few trust her. It would not do for her to be harmed, and I have a suspicion that restraining her, well, let's not find out, yes?""

[Roll]: Valyros rolled dice (6d10): 6, 8, 3, 5, 6, 10 No diff given.

Valyros has received your page: "She apparently wandered off in the direction of Typh and Plax's dorm."

(remotely) Plax frowns. "I have been maintaining it. I have told nobody of what I have done. I gather they all figure it's some sort of cabal test. That's why the secrecy. Which is fine by me. But that doesn't answer my question, Master. Why won't she go blabbing it about?"

Valyros says "Come Rade, I think I know where Rade left." She then starts off towards Typhoneous' and Plax's dorm.

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche rolls her eyes. "If you're desperate, study in your room. Shit." She leans back into your arm. "In any case, I think we can do these..." She gestures.

[OOC] Psyche thinks T and P are probably close to dinnertime.

Plax has received your page: ""Oh, I'm fairly sure she will. It is just that no one will believe her. They didn't believe her about...but that hardly matters anymore. Rest assured, we have our collective eyes on her. When she isn't blocking us out, of course..."

[OOC] Rade says, "youthink you know where rade left? :)"

[OOC] You say, "How do you mean?"

[OOC] You say, "nm"

Rade nods, falling in step behind Valyros. "The dormatories?"

(remotely) Plax sighs. "Well, I'll not harm her unless she starts attacking me. I can't promise I won't knock her out if she tries to hurt or kill me again. I won't use, well, those unique abilities, but I won't let myself get killed either". He looks at the dagger. "I suppose I should have this sent back to her room, before I'm accused of stealing". He slouches a bit. "Thank you, Master".

Rade pages: "I can roll percp and awarness to sense where my philactory is...but it doesn't give a diff"

Valyros says, "I don't know, what she'll be there for. Maybe Plax is in trouble and she could sense it."

[OOC] Plax says, "If that was the case, she'd be with me 24/7..."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous squeezes you lightly. "Yes, but it's getting close to dinner. And I promised Alex we'd go out with him to night."

You say, "Eventually, you come to the foot of the stairs leading to the dorm rooms. Halda is lying at the foot of them, casting smug, mellow looks up at the half dozen third-year students at the top of the stairs who are staring at her dubiously. A few of them have playful-looking bite marks on their arms."

[OOC] You say, "Declares it lunchtime."

[OOC] Psyche says, "But it was lunch -before- they started studying."

[OOC] Plax says, "Didn't we already have lunch today?"

Halda grins, "I seem to have treed a whole mess of squirrels, today."

[OOC] You say, "Er, dinnertime, even."

[OOC] Psyche grins.

[OOC] Psyche takes the GM's crack away.

Valyros says, "Well they look more like juniors to me..."

Rade blinks, rushing forward to the wolf's side. "Halda....you didn't!?" she looks up the stairs. "I'm really sorry..."

Psyche nods, closing up her books. "All right. Early tomorrow, then, unless there'll be time after dinner and before the bar..."

You say, "Halda pads away from the stairs with a haughty grin and something that sounds almost like a laughing bark."

[OOC] Psyche aughs, didn't mean to MS.

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous sighs. "All right. tomorrow it is." He starts packing up. "And I don't think there will be time after dinner."

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche arches one brow. . o O ( Go ahead and call me a slavedriver, but you're going to pass because of it. ) She puts everything away with an anal-retentive completeness.

(remotely) Plax waits to see if Liriel has any reply before leaving.

Valyros shakes her finger at the students, "Don't bother another person's familiar." Then goes off to see what's went on with Halda.

Plax has received your page: ""She lives, Plax. Is that clear?""

Rade looks up at the students, then lowers her gaze to the floor. "I'm really sorry, she was just playing." She starts to hurry off after the wolf. "Halda...!"

You say, "Halda lets you catch up, still grinning."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous chuckles, his music light. . o O ( Just as long as we get to have some fun together too. ) He packs in a much less organised way.

(remotely) Plax turns. "I'm not some ruthless killer, Master. I don't kill except under extreme circumstances. I doubt she'll push me that far".

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche stands, slinging her pack over her shoulder, grinning at him. . o O ( This -is- fun. )

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous chuckles, stands, and offers his hand. . o O ( I meant my kind of fun. Relationships are about give and take, Psyche. ) He smiles warmly.

Plax pages: "Not to mention that her death would add credability to her story, to silence her. You are clear, master."

Plax has received your page: ""I never accused you of being a ruthless killer. But I mean what I say when I tell you it is not worth even your life to kill her. I do not believe you will need to sacrifice yourself. I hope, in fact, you're wise enough not to give her the opportunity. But the terrible truth is we need her more than we need you, right now.""

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche tucks her hand into yours, leaning up against your shoulder briefly. . o O ( I said I'd go to the bar. )

Plax has received your page: ""Albeit, for a very specific purpose that will be clear in the near future...""

Rade scolds without force. "Halda...you know you can't do that sort of thing. Biting and scaring people like that..."

Halda yawns.

You say, "The students begin to furtively descend the stairs for dinner."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous squeezes you hand before starting the trek off to the cafeteria. . o O ( Yes, well, there are other types of fun, too. )

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche arches a brow, but follows. . o O ( I'm not sure I -want- to ask for clarification. )

Rade sighs. "Would you listen to me. This isn't the forest...they might have tried to hurt you, or worse."

(remotely) Plax shrugs. "I realize that now that I'm not out gathering information, albeit in a manner I'd much rather not be in, not to mention my loss of political use, I'm relatively useless in these matters, as I am not nearly as skilled in mystical arts as many. Enjoy the evening, Master".

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous chuckles. . o O ( Mostly innocent ones... honest. Sketches and the like. Dancing, perhaps. )

[OOC] Plax puts Liriel on the same ranking as Vance. Hrmph.

[OOC] Typheous chuckles. Yes, but he can kick our butts.

[OOC] Psyche peers. "Don't say bad things about Liriel!"

[OOC] Plax says, "He told Plax that Mereke is more valuable than Plax. "

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche blushes. . o O ( Right. Dinner. )

(remotely) Plax heads out if not detained.

[OOC] Psyche sniggers.

[OOC] Typheous says, "Yes, because Plax isn't a seeking. :)"

You say, "Halda rubs against Rade's legs, pretending she can't understand a word she's saying."

(remotely to Eclipse, Psyche) Typheous will lead the way, opening doors when they present themselves for Psyche.

(remotely to Eclipse, Typheous) Psyche goes over to the dorm, then.

[OOC] Typheous says, "Just let us know when we show up in the cafeteria. Or are we the only ones there right now?"

[OOC] You say, "Go ahead and show up when you want."

[OOC] Typheous says, "Are Rade/Val there? I've gotten lost"

[OOC] You say, "In the 3rd-year men's dorm, yes. Is that where you were headed?"

[OOC] Psyche says, "Yes."

[OOC] Psyche says, "And if we weren't, we are now."

[OOC] Typheous says, "That's where we're heading"

Rade sighs, unable to keep from smiling as she reaches down to pet Halda. "Oh stop that...cheater. Just...try to be good would you?"

[OOC] Plax says, "Eclipse, am I detained, or is Plax free to move about now?"

[OOC] You say, "You are free."

[OOC] Eclipse grins. "Rade is such a sucker for her man-eating Avatar, isn't she?"

[OOC] Psyche sniggers.

(remotely) Plax leaves, deposits his bow and arrows, along with that dagger of Mereke's, in his room (but keeps his other weapons), and heads to dinner (3rd-year men's dorm).

[OOC] Rade mrphs

[OOC] Typheous starts the dinner RP?

[OOC] You say, "Go for it."

Typheous leads Psyche into the cafeteria, hand-in-hand, opening the door for it and everything. . o O ( And let's see who's beat us here...) He scans the room while going for a tray.

Plax enters the cafeteria, not bothering to hide the fact that's he's pissed as hell, and starts getting food without speaking a word to anybody.

--[Sat Sep 6 23:32:37 2003]--------------------------------[8 users; 0s lag]--

Psyche follows Typheous, glancing over at Plax as he storms past, her "Hey, Pl--" aborted in mid-sentence. . o O ( Well. )

Plax gets food and forces himself to speak, obviously trying to maintain something of a polite control. "Evening Psyche, Typheous," he says.

Rade scritches behind Halda's ears as she turns to look at Valryos. "WAnt to get dinner while we're here?"

Typheous frowns at Plax, getting a tray and dropping Psyche's hand. "Are you all right, Plax?"

Valyros says, "Yes, that sounds like a good idea."

Valyros goes to the cafitera, looking for the rest of their group.

You say, "Vance pokes his head downstairs. Halda promptly chases him back up, vanishing upstairs."

Plax gestures to a table. "No, but that's common," he says. "You can join me, if you want to risk it," he says calmly, taking his food and drink and moving to a corner table, enough to seat six people.

[OOC] Typheous says, "go Halda!"

Rade sighs, calling again. "Halda! Come on...dinner." She turns to follow Valyros.

Typheous nods to Plax and finishes collecting his food before waiting for Psyche. . o O ( Plax sounds like he needs someone around him. )

You say, "You hear a sharp yelp upstairs. A minute later, Halda limps back down the stairs and over to the table, still looking irrepressibly haughty in spite of her injured front paw."

[OOC] Rade facepalms

[OOC] Valyros says, "God, I'm sorry about this, but I'm falling asleep at the keyboard. I'll see you later guys..."

Rade stares as she see's her wolf, rushing over. "You...did he hurt you!?! I'll kill him...let me see..."

[OOC] Rade dohs, wavels to Val

[OOC] Plax waves to Val.

Valyros has received your page: "Can I get an RP vote from you?"

Valyros pages: "Rade"

Valyros has disconnected.

Plax takes a seat at the table and starts picking at his food.

The resolution of Valyros fades. With a hiss of static their disconnected body implodes into a single point of light, then blinks out of existence.

You say, "She suddenly starts acting really hurt, whining at you, though it doesn't look like anything more serious than it getting slammed in a door."

Rade sighs, petting the wolf with one hand while the other fumbles in her pouch. "Shhh....it'll be alright. I'll take care of it. You shouldn't go chasing people around...maybe this'll teach you." She glances appologetically at the group.

Typheous frowns slightly, sitting down at the table with Psyche. "Is Halda all right?"

[OOC] Typheous says, "Psyche's dad's here, so she'll be slow."

Rade smiles, unwraping a salve and proceeding to slather it over the injury. "She will be once she stops her whining..."

[OOC] You say, "Winding down anyway. We'll be stopping in about 10-15 minutes."

Plax nods. "That's good," he says, taking a drink of juice.

Rade pages: "so, um, can she heal her? Or are philactories not really, um, real? :)"

Rade has received your page: "Go ahead. Only takes Life 2, since she's your Phylactery."

Rade finishes with the salve and closes her eyes, placing her hand over it and murmuring softly.

[Roll]: Rade rolled Arete (3d10): 3, 7, 4 ** 2 successes (diff 4) **

[OOC] Rade says, "1 target, 1 effect for a brused paw :)"

Typheous continues to frown, studying Halda. "Who did that to her? (him?)"

You say, "Halda flops down under the table and promptly falls asleep. Dinner is otherwise uneventful."

Psyche follows Typheous. . o O ( No kidding he does...Where's Lyka? ) She studies Plax, but refrains from asking in public after her humilation of the morning.

[OOC] Eclipse will wait until this conversation ends, however...

Plax looks up at Psyche. "If you're wondering, I was attacked," he says.

Rade shakes her head, standing up and sitting down with the group. "Vance...I think...but she was chasing him." Her eyes darken. "He didn't have to hurt her though."

Psyche snarls under her breath at Vance's name, but keps her eyes on Plax. "I was going to wait to ask, but...who?"

Typheous eats slowly. "No... he didn't." He glances toward the door, as if daring Vance to walk in right then."

Plax frowns. "Mereke. She was trying to pump me for information about where we were, I wouldn't tell her, I turned to go into my room, and I heard her unsheath a dagger. I turned and she was attacking, so I countered with my sai. Then she ran off screaming".

Rade blinks as she picks up on the conversation around here. "W...what? Why would she attack you?"

Psyche's eyes do that scary anime thing. "She...what the -fuck-?"

Psyche . o O ( I -know- Plax didn't invite it... )

[OOC] Rade says, "what? :)"

Typheous frowns into a spoonful of food. He seems to fall silent at this topic, his music growing as cold as Psyche's aura usually is. . o O ( No... )

[OOC] Psyche says, "Um, Mer killed someone who tried to rape her while we were gone :)"

Plax shrugs. "Oh, you'll find that out soon enough, I'm sure. Not that anyone will believe her". He lowers his voice. "I won't say anymore on that here". He shrugs. "Definately been a bad day. Had a Gremlin urinate in my mouth, my senses got transferred to everyone else, and I got attacked by a student". He lowers his voice again, so they can't be overheard. "Oh, and Master Liriel told me that if it comes down to us in a fight that might be one where I could die, she's more valuable than me". His eyes darken. "Hell of a day. I think I'll stay in bed tomorrow and just not heal my morning wounds. It'll be more fun".

Psyche sighs softly, leaning forward. "What did she do? I'd believe almost anything after what happened while we were gone." Eyes narrow. "You do that, Plax, and I'll come hunt you down and heal you by force."

[OOC] You say, "What? No one told you about that, Asmo? *grin*"

[OOC] Rade says, "I need to look for people to give me better briefings :)"

Typheous's mood darkens further, though it briefly brightens at the mention of Psyche healing Plax by force. . o O ( What the hell has happened to her... After...) He shakes his head.

[OOC] Typheous notes we were RPing while giving that briefing. *puts on a NotOurFault sticker*

Plax says, "Well, she first tried to pump me for information by flirting with me. I didn't respond to that. She got mad, told me to go on and she wouldn't follow, and I heard a dagger being unsheathed. I turned, hand ready to draw my sai, and she attacked me. She didn't cut me though, I countered it."

Plax says, "You can only heal some of the wounds, and you can't force me to leave my room. Though crowds are probably better for me these days, it seems."

Rade sighs, looking confused and dumbfounded. "I wonder why she'd do that..."

Psyche nods, not looking surprised, eyes dark. "You heard what happened with (name of kid she killed) while we were gone...?" A wry half-smile. "Whatever weight Master Liriel is using to balance, you're not worthless, so..."

Plax says, "No, I didn't"

[OOC] You say, "I love it when all the Truth comes out at Once..."

Plax shrugs. "As for usefulness, well, that's up for debate," he says.

Typheous frowns, shaking his head. "No... I think Liriel meant something else, perhaps." He chuckles darkly. "After all, all our teachers seem to like to talk in riddles." . o O ( Dammit... *He seems to be stewing on something* )

Psyche ohs, softly. "Short version, then..." She glances at Typheous, taking his hand, eyes half-closing. "She disappeared to look for me a few days after we left...and came back changed. She quit taking shit from people, started making threats. All the very worst interpretation of anything I ever said to her seemed to come out. And then (name) started trying to take the shrew out of her. She led him on for a while..." She closes her eyes, hand squeezing Typheous's tight, face paling. "And when he tried to take things further...by force, when she turned him down, she took him apart with a pair of sewing scissors." She takes a deep breath. "And she's only sorry about not having a chance to torment him longer."

Rade stares at Psyche in stunned silence.

Typheous squeezes Psyche's hand as she finishes.

[OOC] Eclipse dances with malicious glee!

Plax frowns. "Well, I'm sure she'd love to try that on me, since she could probably torment me longer than him," he says. "Well, at least I know what she's capable of". He sighs. "Seems like we can't catch a break," he says.

[OOC] Rade baps Eclipse.

[OOC] Eclipse LEARNED evil tactics from Jordan and Harry Potter.

You say, "Alex claps Typheous on the shoulder, swaying slightly. "So, is the merry crew ready to get plastered?""

[OOC] You say, "And that's where we'll end for the night."

[OOC] Plax says, "Why do I feel like a cross between Angsty Harry and Rand?"

Psyche shakes her head, biting her lip. . o O ( I'm not going to cry... ) She breathes for a few moments. "Something's very wrong...and I don't know what it is, yet." . o O ( I've been too busy studying and looking for reasons to spend time with you to look into it. )

[OOC] Psyche drops her obligatory "after-end" pose :)

[OOC] Typheous chuckles.

Rade nods slowly, shivering. "What could have changed her like....that...?"

[OOC] Eclipse grins.

[OOC] Psyche assumes the bar is going to have to wait for next week. Dang.

[OOC] Plax snickers.

[OOC] You say, "RP points?"

[OOC] You say, "Welcome back. You going to be able to be here more often in the future?"

[OOC] Rade says, "whoot :)"

[OOC] Typheous claps.

[OOC] Plax woos, has enough for Time 3 now. "Just have to find someone to learn it from".

[OOC] Rade says, "I should be here every day, unless they make me work a weekend :)"

[OOC] Psyche needs to spend some of these XP :)

[OOC] Rade says, "just let me know when your gonna start so I can wake up earlier :)"

[OOC] Plax says, "6:00 central (about 20 minutes before you arrived)"

Rade pages: "you going to have time sometime between now and next session to let me know what Dina would want to tell me?"

[OOC] Rade says, "ah, 8 in the morning :)"

[OOC] Typheous says, "Love that international date line."

Rade has received your page: "Sure. You up for blue-booking tomorrow evening (your morning)? I'm kind of creatively worn out, atm..."

Psyche pages: "Dammit, Clippy, I'm wide awake and in character and you quit :P"

Psyche has received your page: "Sorry. I'm running out of steam, and we already lost one to exhaustion... :-("

Rade pages: "Mmm...I'll be at work in the morning. Do you work nights?"

(remotely) Psyche snugs. It's okay.

Rade has received your page: "Afternoons, actually. I get home at about 7:30 Central Monday-Friday."

Psyche pages: "Not even a good spot for us to bluebook and amuse me for a week :)"

Rade has received your page: "Er, 7:30 pm, central."

(remotely) Plax gives you fair warning. "Plax is pushing that line where he's about to fall into the 'Whatever. Don't care. Doesn't matter' mode".

(remotely) Rade nods. "If your not tired or busy, we could poke at it friday, or I could just hop on a little early on saturday.

[OOC] Rade nods.

Psyche has received your page: "Ah well. Better luck next time."

[OOC] Rade says, "it's weird, I've spent so long staying up late because of it, and now I'm getting up early cause of it. :)"

Plax has received your page: "How can that be remedied? Yeah, I've been picking on Plax a lot, lately. Is it IC frustration or OOC frustration, or a combination of both?"

[OOC] Typheous chuckles.

(remotely) Psyche will go hunt down another character. Have you seen the Mage I'm setting up for Matt's new campaign?

Psyche has received your page: "Know about it. Haven't looked at it, as yet."

Psyche pages: "She's a VA who's hooked on a modified form of XTC."

Plax pages: "Primarily IC. I mean, his day sums it up. What good was there to that day for him? Not a whole lot. He needs something for him to think fighting and, in some ways, living, is worth it. I mean, he's started thinking about how he won't be able to have kids (what if they're vampires?) and, as a result, he's not going to be able to ever be governor (no heir + people's reaction to his condition). But if he's got students attacking him, professors holding things back from him that he does really feel he deserves to know, he's going to turn into a completely untrusting, cold hovering man."

Psyche has received your page: "Ah yes. Mort was telling me about that. *chuckle*"

Plax pages: "Not nearly as much OOC frustration, but I would like to play something a little less angsty/painful/disgusting, too."

(remotely) Psyche grins.

[OOC] Rade grins

[OOC] Typheous starts trying to find ways to get sticky for his Mage cabal. Included are 2 Verbena, 2 Virtual Adepts, a Chorister, and a Hermetic. Sound be interesting, and neither the pairs are really like each other at all. :p

[OOC] Psyche says, "Jen is so not-sticky-at-all..."

[OOC] Rade says, "glue them all together"

[OOC] Typheous thinks he can come up with something. :)

Plax has received your page: "Well, we got rid of Grus, so disgusting shouldn't be a problem anymore. And you and the Masters will be going your separate ways in a few days, so just hang in there for me. There will be plenty of opportunity for heroics after this interlude is done. Having Masters around puts a serious cramp on one's sense of usefulness, I know. That's why I have been trying to minimize their involvement..."

[OOC] Plax hmms. "Can't say much w/o reading the backgrounds, to be fair".

[OOC] You say, "So, any new wagers on Mereke's True Nature?"

[OOC] Psyche gahs.

[OOC] Typheous says, "Evil?"

[OOC] Typheous says, "Ooo! Budding Storyteller~"

[OOC] Psyche says, "Plax, watch the LJ community pax_magicka :)"

[OOC] Typheous nodsnods. That's where all the info for that game is going. I'm particularly proud of the drug there. :)

[OOC] Eclipse says drily, "Yes. That's it. She's actually Eclipse in disguise."

(remotely) Plax nods. "The uselessness only came on him when Liriel made the comment about Mereke being worth more than him. I don't know what would make him feel like all this, these people, are worth fighting for. I do think that a day or two where he's not having everything that can go wrong go wrong would do wonders for his mood though".

[OOC] Rade says, "whatever she is, it's not looking good :)"

Typheous pages: "Nephandi?"

[OOC] Psyche shakes her head.

[OOC] Plax would wager she's a Knight in disguise at this point. ;)

[OOC] Psyche is thinking that.

Plax has received your page: "Yeah. The next few days shouldn't be nearly as dreadful for him. I had to get all the Plot Sticks out early so no one can say I didn't warn them later down the road...""

(remotely) Plax nods. "Oh, btw, the reason journal entries aren't being done for Plax is that, right now, he feels that wouldn't be safe".

[OOC] Typheous had thought about that, too.

Plax has received your page: "Yeah. I can definitely understand that. Too many secrets..."

Typheous has received your page: "Would it be anything that obvious? *evil grin*"

(remotely) Plax nods. "I might write a 'mental' journal, but I don't know how much farther than, 'Life Sucks!' it'll go". ;)

Plax has received your page: "Yeah. I'm getting in the direction of making life stop sucking so much for Plax..."

[OOC] Psyche has this horrible feeling that Rade will never get time alone to tease Psyche, as more important things will supersede. :)

Typheous pages: "Well, probably not, but at the same time, it might be and you'd say something like that that would me think it wasn't and then... Arg... Black Spiral Dancer also crossed my mind. Or Baali."

[OOC] Typheous says, "Probably. Not that Typheous and Psyche will get anytime together."

Typheous has received your page: "Nah. Cold."

[OOC] Rade awwws

[OOC] You say, "Rade is about to have her own problems..."

[OOC] Rade says, "not that she'd be too mean :0"

[OOC] Rade blinks

[OOC] Psyche giggles.

[OOC] Rade hides from storytellers

[OOC] You say, "What? You didn't think that just because you missed the last couple sessions I wouldn't cut you in on the pain, did you?"

[OOC] Plax shoos the angst away from him and onto Rade.

Typheous pages: "On all of them? wow... Hmm... Or there's the Knight idea, but I think that got thrown out... Oh no... you didn't... Crap... Fae?"

[OOC] Rade was hoping to get away clean. :)

[OOC] Typheous says, "Since when has Eclipse let anyone get away clean?"

[OOC] Psyche says, "Between me and Plax, we had enough angst for everyone."

[OOC] Eclipse doesn't think anyone will ever have as much angst as Plax, actually... "Rade left me other opportunities for fun."

[OOC] You say, "True. Psyche is definitely in second place in terms of angst..."

[OOC] Typheous says, "Typheous is getting up there. He just can't tell anyone about it. :p"

[OOC] Psyche wouldn't dream of competing with Plax for angst.

[OOC] Rade whimpers, searches Rade for bullseyes and rips em off

[OOC] You say, "Her mother. Her Avatar. Her naivete..."

[OOC] Rade whimpers mor.

[OOC] You say, "Ah yes. And then Val has her children and all those people she rescued, living on the edges of civilization..."

Typheous pages: "Or was that whole conversation with Alex a way to torment me with information? :)"

[OOC] Rade says, "Yes, mess with those, leave poor rade alone :)"

[OOC] Plax is King of the Angst?

Typheous has received your page: "The thing is, two or three different people have pieces of the Mereke puzzle, but none of them is allowed to say anything about it to anyone else... Classic RJ dramatic tension, yes?"

(remotely) Typheous chuckles. Yes....

(remotely) Typheous notes a distinct lack of comment on the Fae comment. :)

[OOC] You say, "Plax, you suck. Get in the robot. *smirk* Well, maybe not the *king* of angst..."

[OOC] Eclipse hopes Eric knows where that's from and why it's funny...

[OOC] Typheous says, "Oh, anime I watched recently was very similar, with out the whiny kid. RahXephon"

[OOC] Plax doesn't watch Anime much, sorry.

[OOC] You say, "Surely Beth at least made fun of Evangelion to you, though, right?"

[OOC] Rade has been meaning to see that one

[OOC] Typheous says, "RahXephon is good so far. Have I think 2-3 more episodes that we have. Disturbingly similar so far to Eva, though."

[OOC] Typheous says, "But perhaps less angsty."

[OOC] Plax says, "Actually, she usually doesn't talk much about anime with me, since I know so little (having a town that didn't have it available anywhere and no cable for 4 years kind of cuts one off)."

[OOC] Typheous says, "Yeah, that'll do it. You'll have to come visit and we'll watch it till our eyes fall out."

[OOC] Psyche gets her ass kicked at mini-playstation Frogger.

[OOC] Rade grins

Typheous has received your page: "Does she *act* like a Fae?"

Typheous pages: "An Unseelie, maybe. :) RedCap. They liked to decorate with entrails. :)"

(to Typheous) Eclipse whistles. "You'll see."
