CC [GM]: Null, Sami, you awaken on piles of feather pillows in the tomb. The first thing both of you realize is that you are TERRIBLY THIRSTY, and have NASTY HEADACHES. Two glasses of the GLOWY PINK JUICE are sitting on the table. ((you both gain the aspect IN WITHDRAWAL.)) Nullar: Nullar groans and attempts to burrow her head into the pillows, lush PAJAMA-CLAD ASS in the air as she does so. Sami: "Ughh. Why does my flippin' head hurt so much?" Sami: "Ooh, tasty beverages!" **Sami reaches for a glass of GLOWY PINK JUICE. ** CC [GM]: do you drink it? Nullar: Nullar removes her head from the pillows to stare incredulously at Sami. Doesn't she remember the conversation they had about how these are Almost Definitely Probably Drugs? Sami: (( Assuming Null doesn't say anything to STOP ME... )) CC [GM]: 5 CC [GM]: 4 CC [GM]: 3 CC [GM]: 2 CC [GM]: 1 Nullar: ((nah besides staring she's not doing anything) CC [GM]: Mull doesn  <font color='#008000'>**Sami <font color='#008000'>takes a drink. **  Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>MULL?! xD))  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Null doesn't stop you, and you drink the glass down.  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>LOL  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>You lose the IN WITHDRAWAL aspect  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>You gain the "SUPES SEXY" aspect.  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Nullar, she seems to look better already, and her skin nearly glows.  <font color='#008000'>**Sami <font color='#008000'>snaps both fingers and makes a smug smile, FONZI-STYLE. **  Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Nullar checks her pesterchum list. Ugh, PP isn't on, AGAIN. He told her to message him if she was under the influence again, now what the fuck is she supposed to do?! She captchalogues the internet capable device and looks at her cup, hoping her apprehension looks like the normal level for not wanting to drink nose juice. Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Oh! Hey! This is Dorse!" <font color='#008000'>**Sami <font color='#008000'>looks around and finally notices Null is there with her. ** CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Null, Sami, both roll a notice please Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>[4dF] => [0,1,0,1] = (2) Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>[4df+3] => [1,0,0,1,3] = (5) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>You hear two voices speaking some distance away. Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Null! You're here again!" Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"I guess we're on the same sleep schedule or something." Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>((lmao)) Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Nullar actually chortles at that a little, then looks surprised at herself. "Er... yeah, I guess," she says, trying to seem more Mature and Together. She picks up the glass and drinks it- it doesn't seem to poison or have mind-controlling affects, and she has a feeling the stat boost and not feeling shitty will help in her time on Derse coming up. Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Can Null recognize any of the voices? Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Can she tell how far away they are? CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Nullar, you loose "IN WITHDRAWAL" and gain "SUPES SEXY" CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>They appear to be upstairs. CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>and one MIGHT be scarlet, you're somewhat sure. You can hear something else, too, far above, but it's just a general racket, nothing specific. Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>"You should stay here, I'm going to go check on things," Nullar says. "Or, follow me if you want but stay a while behind and PLEASE try to be quiet." Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>She is now whispering. Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Okay, I'll be the quietest!' Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Sami: NINJA MODE."  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>BOTH ROLL STEALTH  Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>[4df+3] => [-1,1,0,-1,3] = (2)  Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>[4dF] => [-1,-1,1,1] = (0)  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Null is stealthy, Sami... not so much.  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>[4df+4] => [1,-1,-1,0,4] = (3)  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>ooh, but RC notices both of you.  Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Are the stairs the stairs toward the entrance or do there appear to be other stairs?  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>the stairs toward the entrance, toward the underground lake.  Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Okay. Null doesn't know she's been spotted, of course, so she begins sneaking that way.  Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>She attempts to stay far enough ahead of Sami to not give herself away. <font color='#008000'>**Sami <font color='#008000'>also moves forward with MAXIMUM STEALTH, which apparently means a lot of unnecessary combat rolls. ** CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>hahahahaha Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>((oh btw CC do we still get bonuses to certain skills with the potion? or was that first time use only?)) Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>(( SEXINESS + 2 )) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>((you do. they're part of the "supes sexy" aspect.)) Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>((what skills were they again? I'm sorry)) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>((you can invoke it any time you think it's appropriate for a +2 bonus. We changed it up a little.)) Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>((oh okay. for a fate point?)) Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>((or do we get a free invocation)) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>((yeah, though it also gives you SECRET BONUSES to certain situations. I'll apply those though)) Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>((okay thanks)) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>As you approach the top of the stairs you see RC standing in the door to the Tomb, chatting with a Carapacian. "Thank you for taking care of this little matter." She says sweetly, then looks over her shoulder at the two of you. "My favorite Ladies! How are you?" Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Oh, hey RC!" Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Nullar looks sullen, very much like a child caught sneaking around by their mother. She gets out of her Super Sneaky Pose and purses her lips. "Sexy, thank you for asking," she says quite matter-of-factly. CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>RC smiles and claps merrily. "I suppose you want to go exploring?" Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Can Nullar eyeball the shit out of the carapacian to determine if there's anything unique or identifying about him? Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>((wow leon omg)) Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"That could be fun! Is there much to do here on Dorse?" CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>He appears to be a messenger of some type. He has an envelope under one arm. RC continues, "If you want to go exploring do be careful, there's a bit of a ruckus upstairs." Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>"A ruckus?" CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>The carapacian nods. "A bit of a Riot, Maid. The Knight apparently was plotting to harm the Queen." Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"That sounds bad. Mutiny is a serious offense!" CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>The Carapacian nods in agreement. Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Or is mutiny only when pirates do it? What is it when a knight turns on a queen?" Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>"The queen?" Nullar repeats, confused, looking back and forth between Sami and the other two. "There's a queen?" Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>"I don't remember any of us entering as a queen /o_O\" CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>RC shakes her head. "The Queen is a dersite. She lives here." Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Wait, are you saying 'Derse'? I thought it was Dorse this whole time!" Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"I must've sounded quite silly!" Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>"That's okay, I thought the people were called Dersians," Null mumbles. "Is the knight a 'dersite' too then?" CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>RC laughs, and the Carapacian looks to her, starting to laugh a moment after. CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>"No, the Knight is one of your kind." the Carapacian points to Nullar. Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Oh wow Null. Is one of your teammates starting trouble in 'Derse?'" Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Ha, it sounds so weird to call it "Derse" after all this time." Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Nullar screws up her face in concentration, trying to remember what everyone entered as. Wasn't Jossik a Knight? The only reason she even remembered to be honest was because Knight of Heart sounded pretty darn girly. Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>"I guess so! He didn't mention anything about it to me, but I'm not surprised. Communication isn't exactly our team's strong suit." Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Oh, that's too bad. Open lines of communication are the most important thing for maintaining friendships!" Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"...but then again, given how things have been going for my team, maybe I'm in no place to talk." <font color='#008000'>**Sami <font color='#008000'>suddenly looks pouty. ** CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>RC smiles. "So, do you ladies want to go up?" Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"I'm 'down' with going up!" <font color='#008000'>**Sami <font color='#008000'>laughs at her own bon mots. ** Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"See, because they're both directions!" <font color='#008000'>**Sami <font color='#008000'>isn't fooling anyone with the sad clown routine though. ** Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Nullar nods, keeping more quiet than the other derse dreamer. CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>RC giggles appropriately. "Luke, will you escore these ladies up to the surface? I fear I've monopolized their time." He nods, tipping his dapper hat. "It'd be an honor, Miss." Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Oh wow! I like your hat!" Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"I just got a really cool hat, too. But I guess it's back on LOTAC right now..." Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>Nullar raises an eyebrow. Man, Sami's kinda... airheaded. She shuffles along when prodded to, still a little miffed she wasn't as stealthy as she'd hoped. CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>RC waves the two of you away. "Have fun!" CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>MEANWHILE!! CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Kate, Glissa, you awaken in your towers, and can hear shouting from the streets below. <font color='#008000'>**Kate <font color='#008000'>looks around. ** Kate: <font color='#004000'>[4df+1] => [1,1,1,1,1] = (5) Nullar: <font color='#c91703'>((NICE)) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Kate, you see smoke drifting past the windows, and when you look out, you see the crowds surrounding a tall tower like yours, yelling and attempting to climb it.
