I dont suppose any of you trolls can read this?"(25155) Ryspor : "Perhaps I could take a look?"(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor takes the book from Aura and looks at the pages.(25154) Maenam: Maneam grabs a few books and shoves them into a handbag from her strife specibus "Oh yeah I toooootes can take a look, in another tower and junk!" she says, trying to usher people away from the twitchy Balish(25165) Nate: Nate remembers the files he took out of the mailbox before his entry, it's a longshot, but maybe something was in them, in anycase you've got nothing better to do(25162) Balish: Balish starts to breath deeply, keeping his eyes shut, then walks past the troups of people, out of the spire and into the air. [4df+3] => [1,-1,1,-1,3] = (3)(25173) Sami (enter): 22:45(25154) Maenam: Manam blinks a few times and begins to hurry after him "B..Balish wait up!" she says, simultaniously waving goodbye to the trolls and humans as she passes.(25161) Seriad: Seriad ceases inspecting the pallet and stares at the broken(?) light bulb(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor realizes that he cannot read a word of this book.(25161) Seriad: You know there OBVIOUSLY must not be anything intersting about it, but what else can you do?(25155) Ryspor : He grins sheepishly and hands it back to Aura.(25162) Balish: Balish once outside, takes in the open air, feeling the crosswinds and starting to calm down. After a moment, he floats downward, and examines the vines with the flowers. ((Investigate again)) [4df] => [1,1,-1,1] = (2)(25152) CC [GM]: These are very similar to another flower you have seen, but yet again, genetically modified.(25158) Aura: *look around, there has to be more to this tower than the one room, prhaps you'll find more if you continue onwards(25161) Seriad: Seriad yanks on the lightbulb(25162) Balish: I would like to pluck one, but I have no idea what roll that would be xD(25152) CC [GM]: I'll give it to you.(25152) CC [GM]: Seriad, roll an idiot check.(25161) Seriad: [4df] => [-1,-1,1,-1] = (-2)(25152) CC [GM]: [1d12] => [4] = (4)(25161) Seriad: ((rofl))(25152) CC [GM]: ((Whoops))(25152) CC [GM]: Seriad, IT'S A PALLET!!! :DDDDDD(25161) Seriad: OH BOY(25154) Maenam: Maenam floats back towards Balish, gladly noticing he is calmer "Woah... Bally, you like toooooote got me worked up back there. Are you alri-" she says before vanishing in midair as she reawakens back in the real world.(25158) Aura: Pull out gold magnifyingglass, be the great detective [4df+2] => [1,1,-1,-1,2] = (2)(25154) Maenam: ((or shit, do they just fall back asleep?))(25154) Maenam: ((eh either way, g'night folks))(25152) CC [GM]: Aura(25152) CC [GM]: Someone was HURT here.(25152) CC [GM]: There is an ANCIENT DRIED BLOOD STAIN near the pallet(25161) Seriad: Seriad lies on the pallet. (25158) Aura: any particular color?(25162) Balish: ((strife to cut off a flower, by the way)) [4df+2] => [0,1,-1,1,2] = (3)(25152) CC [GM]: You got a flower, congratulations(25152) CC [GM]: it is red(25158) Aura: *gasp*, "It appears something most foul has taken place here!"(25161) Seriad: Maybe if you're laying on it, you could inspect this mystical pallet HARDER!(25161) Seriad: [4df] => [1,-1,0,-1] = (-1)(25165) Nate: Nate glances up from the files he's reading, quizically wondering what everyone else is doing(25158) Aura: is there a trail of blood to follow, or just whats on the pallet?(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor looks around for any sign of stairs leading below.(25152) CC [GM]: Just what's on the pallet(25155) Ryspor : Investigate [4df+1] => [-1,-1,-1,1,1] = (-1)(25162) Balish: Balish feels the shape of the flower in his hand, then begins to gently tease the pedal, breathing while working it.(25161) Seriad: Seriad sniffs, trying to distinguish and SPESHUL smells. (25161) Seriad: [4df] => [0,0,0,-1] = (-1)(25152) CC [GM]: jesus syriad you can't win for losing(25165) Nate: Nate puts the files back in his pocket, "what are, you doing?" he asks to no one in particular(25161) Seriad: ((Wait, I typed that right?))(25174) Sami (enter): 23:02(25158) Aura: "Nate, you would know more about this than me (butchers son and all) any idea what this could be from?" *points to blood stains(25161) Seriad: Seriad is now bored, there are no smells, so she decides to search for stairs with Ryspor.(25161) Seriad: [4df] => [1,0,1,1] = (3)(25165) Nate: (does Nate notice anything interesting about it?) [4df+3] => [1,0,1,1,3] = (6)(25152) CC [GM]: Seriad, there are stairs under the carpet(25152) CC [GM]: Nate, this is just like the blood spatter when you remove the eyes from an animal, for prepping it for a trophy.(25161) Seriad: ((AW YUS.))(25155) Ryspor : "Well done, madam!"(25161) Seriad: Seriad follow the stairs?(25165) Nate: "nothing good, is what this is"(25161) Seriad: "Guys! I found stairs! I mean, if you all want to, you know, follow them, that's cool!"(25165) Nate: "there's, a lack of spray, implying a lack of, death occuring here, pools too small too"(25162) Balish: Balish float back up, makeshift security item in hand. He lingers outside, watching the other trolls and human clutter about what is probably Libby's tower.(25155) Ryspor : Hooray, stairs! Ryspor follows them.(25161) Seriad: Seriad trails behind.(25158) Aura: Aura wonders aloud if the blood is related to the 'festival' they witnessed not too long ago(25165) Nate: "looks off to be, a drain job, whatever happened here, it wasn't pretty"(25158) Aura: She lets the thought hang in the air, deciding she'd rather check out these sweet hidden stairs than contemplate the motives behind such a brutal act(25165) Nate: "man, this place, is grim"(25155) Ryspor : "I agree. Something about it seems very...off, if that makes sense."(25162) Balish: Balish sighs, rejoining the group, shooting a glance at the male human. "YES, that is an UNDERSTATEMENT." Balish squeezes past them, toward a bookself, using this as a final identification. ((Lore to remeber)) [4df+1] => [1,1,1,1,1] = (5)(25152) CC [GM]: There be dots all over these books, if that's what ou're asking(25165) Nate: "well, I'm sorry I'm out, of the loop, asshole"(25162) Balish: I'm asking if the dots are familiar? Maybe recognizable patterns or such? Just drawing lines.(25152) CC [GM]: yes(25152) CC [GM]: they are recognizable.(25161) Seriad: Team Choo Choo has successfully reached the bottom of the stairs?(25162) Balish: Balish sighs, then follows the other trolls as they trail downstairs, completely ignoring the rude human.(25152) CC [GM]: Yes, Seriad.(25152) CC [GM]: Everyone who chose to walk rather than fly is now there.(25165) Nate: Nate ignores the troll leaving, he's not quite done here(25162) Balish: ((I should add Balish p much floats everywhere. Should I roll athletic more?))(25152) CC [GM]: Nah, only when doing something difficult(25152) CC [GM]: nate what are you doing(25165) Nate: take a good look around the room now that you're alone (investigate) [4df+1] => [0,-1,1,1,1] = (2)(25161) Seriad: Seriad inspects this new room.(25155) Ryspor : As does Ryspor.(25161) Seriad: [4df] => [-1,1,1,0] = (1)(25155) Ryspor : [4df+1] => [1,-1,-1,1,1] = (1)(25162) Balish: Balish decends much faster than the others, because flying in the best option to get around, clearly. He still has the red flower out, teasing one of the pedals gently.(25158) Aura: [4df+2] => [1,0,1,-1,2] = (3)(25152) CC [GM]: nate, this room appears to be something belonging to a bookworm. Whoever lived here clearly took better care of their books than themselves. Other than the bloodstain on the floor, it's relatively pristine.(25152) CC [GM]: Everyone downstairs, you're in the plaza. The crowd has mostly disappated, but there is blood all over the dais.(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor just stares.(25161) Seriad: Seriad sniffs the blood, grimmacing(25161) Seriad: [4df] => [-1,1,0,-1] = (-1)(25165) Nate: ((can I treat the blood as a consequence for my 'thrill of the hunt' stunt?))(25161) Seriad: ((Wanted to find something in the blood.))(25155) Ryspor : "Is...this where the festival happened?"(25161) Seriad: "I-I guess?"(25155) Ryspor : Suddenly gold seems like a very hostile color to Ryspor.(25161) Seriad: Seriad approaces the dias and attempts to inspect that.(25161) Seriad: [4df] => [0,1,1,1] = (3)(25162) Balish: "Still FRESH, I guess." Balish stalks out of the spire, standing a little ways away from the other two trolls, but seeming like he is in a much better mood.(25159) Sami (exit): 23:25(25152) CC [GM]: ((what does thrill of the hunt say?))(25158) Aura: " Do you recall what it was she said... (you know, when she was all possesed?) It sounded important, but I was a bit... distracted and dont remember"(25158) Aura: ((directed @ balish/maenam))(25155) Ryspor : ((maenam woke up))(25165) Nate: ((ehh, never mind, Nate should probably catch up with everyone else))(25158) Aura: ((oh right, just bbalish then))(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor is curious as to how Balish is so calm right now. Rolling empathy: [4df+4] => [1,1,0,1,4] = (7)(25165) Nate: Nate, sutably creeped out, begins his trek down the stairs, he doesn't want to be alone right now(25152) CC [GM]: Balish seems very attached to the flower he's holidng.(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor walks around to the front of Balish, remembering his reaction from earlier. "That's a nice flower. Is it from the tower?"(25162) Balish: Balish frowns, glancing at the troll. "Yeah, it's- It REMINDS me of someone." he runs a finger over it's surface.(25162) Balish: Balish glances at Aura, raising an eyebrow. "Did you SAY something?"(25158) Aura: Aur arepeats her question(25165) Nate: Nate, now at the bottom of the tower, makes his way towards the others, falling in a few steps behind them(25162) Balish: "Right, all THAT. The Herals is RESTLESS, the Heros AWAKEN, the Oracle... uh, I FORGET that part, The BITCH SCHEMES, the Thief ACTS, The END has COME, CONSTRUCTION begins. SOMETHING like THAT."(25165) Nate: "sounds like, a load, of cryptic bullshit"(25155) Ryspor : "Now, now, prophecies are important in games like this. I remember one time our knight disregarded a prophecy about his impending doom and got crushed by a hydra."(25165) Nate: "knight?" Nate asks(25155) Ryspor : "Oh!" Ryspor looks panicked. "Nothing! Definitely not roleplaying. Who does something as silly as that? Aha. Ahaha!"(25161) Seriad: "He's talking about a tablr top rpg!"(25161) Seriad: "I prefer Flarp myself, but I guess they're alright.(25165) Nate: "oh" Nate responds slightly saddened(25154) Maenam (exit): 23:40(25155) Ryspor : "Definitely not! At all. No. Never."(25165) Nate: "would have saved, me a lot, of trouble"(25161) Seriad: "OH YOU!" Seriad does the hand flappy thing.(25162) Balish: Balish scoffs. "Roleplaying Nulla-" He blinks a couple times, then his eyes narrow, glancing away from the group while rubbing the flower pedal more vigorously.(25165) Nate: "I'm pretty sure, your knight, has it out for me"(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor is distracted from his frantic denials briefly. He looks over curiously, before deciding to pursue it another day.(25155) Ryspor : ((over to balish))(25155) Ryspor : "My knight? You mean Jossik?"(25162) Balish: Balish raises an eyebrow, glancing toward the human and the other troll. Whatever his name was.(25165) Nate: "yeah, I think that was, their name"(25155) Ryspor : "He seemed like a nice enough fellow when we talked. What exactly makes you think he's out to get you?"(25165) Nate: "an accident, I made a, fucking mistake, and he's holding it, against me"(25173) Sami (exit): 23:45(25158) Aura: ((i have to go afk for a sec, assume Aura is writing down notes (about the prophecy) for now))(25152) CC [GM]: kk(25155) Ryspor : "I could talk to him about it if you want. I haven't been in contact with him for very long, but I feel like we're on fairly good terms."(25165) Nate: "nah, I need to learn to solve, my own problems, not hide behind, someone else"(25161) Seriad: "Oh hey! I think I found som-" Seriad didn't finish her sentence as she is now awake.(25161) Seriad: Disconnecting from server...(25161) Seriad (exit): 23:48(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor looks around, startled.(25162) Balish: Balish blinks. "Heroic of you. Are you humans POSSIBLY not are HORRIBLY SNEAKY and BACKSTABBING as I have been lead to BELEIVE?"(25155) Ryspor : "What just happened? Where did she go?"(25162) Balish: Balish glances over at the confused troll. "She WOKE UP, duh. What, you think we are TRAPPED here forever?"(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor blinks.(25155) Ryspor : "So."(25155) Ryspor : "This is all a dream?"(25155) Ryspor : He tilts his head confusedly.(25165) Nate: "everyone's different, I though all of you, were assholes based upon the short, 'conversation' I had with one with purple text"(25162) Balish: "No. This is ANOTHER BODY. Your OTHER BODY is where you last fell asleep. Try to KEEP UP, will you?"(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor's anger flares. "Well excuse me, but I never even wanted to play this game in the first place, so I think a little naivete is expected, all things considered!"(25155) Ryspor : "Was I supposed to just magically intuit these things all by myself?"(25162) Balish: Balish crosses his arms, glancing at the rude human. "That was ME, rude human, but I MADE the assumption ALL humans were like that FOOL pest, what was his name... Dean maybe? Or Dior? It STARTED with a D."(25165) Nate: 'that, doesn't narrow it down, both are fools, what was the color they use to type?"(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor likes to think that he has a relatively cool temper for a seadweller. He likes to think that he is relatively immune to highblood rages. He is only fooling himself, and even then just barely.(25155) Ryspor : He takes a deep breath, suddenly seeming much more intimidating.(25162) Balish: Toward Ryspor, Balish comments, "Glub take me, I haven't heard ANYONE take a joke that TERRIBLY since the last Violetblood tried sauntering around one of the Purbleblood get togeter."(25155) Ryspor : "I."(25155) Ryspor : "AM."(25155) Ryspor : "TALKING."(25155) Ryspor : I would VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT if I could finish one FUCKING sentence without being discarded."(25155) Ryspor : "I have had just about ENOUGH of this game."(25155) Ryspor : "My sprite is the fucking INVENTOR OF SADISM, my land won't FUCKING shut up, and my lusus - "(25155) Ryspor : He growls.(25155) Ryspor : "God, who even KNOWS where my lusus is at this point?"(25155) Ryspor : "Probably DEAD along with the REST OF THE FUCKING WORLD."(25152) CC [GM]: ryspor(25152) CC [GM]: you'll need to roll an intimidate(25152) CC [GM]: well, trolling(25155) Ryspor : ((would that fall under rapport or not?))(25152) CC [GM]: ((no, trolling is a seperate skill))(25155) Ryspor : ((curses))(25155) Ryspor : [4df] => [-1,1,-1,-1] = (-2)(25155) Ryspor : ((ITS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE))(25152) CC [GM]: Ryspor is literally the least intimidating troll(25162) Balish: Balish raises his hand over his mouth, body trembling slightly. After a few moment, a light laughter breaks out, until he has to place a hand on the tower to stop from falling over. "SERIOUSLY? Our race just ENDED and here YOU are, the most MISERABLE troll in the WORLD? Oh, GLUB, you HAVE to be the Violetblood, don't YOU? Here WE have the CHANCE to LIVE, to PROBABLY create a BETTER WORLD and here you are BLUBBERING."(25165) Nate: "we're you just flirting there?"(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor stops, confused momentarily. Then he begins literally quivering in rage and humiliation.(25155) Ryspor : "FUCK. YOU. ALL."(25155) Ryspor : He flies away as fast as he can.(25152) CC [GM]: roll athletics(25155) Ryspor : [4df+2] => [1,1,0,0,2] = (4)(25158) Aura: *Aura looks up from her notes, hoping to interject, stop the troll from fleeing, but before she can find the words, she wakes up...(25162) Balish: Balish continues to laugh, actually falling on the ground. "Oh GLUB LEADEN my TONGUE and CLOSE my EYES, this is GREAT! Here I thought Libby was the ONLY ONE who could make me LAUGH like this!"(25155) Ryspor : Ryspor doesn't even know where he's going. He just flies blindly, anywhere away from them.(25158) Aura: *aura wakes in her room, the sound of Balish laughing still ringing in her ears(25158) Aura: Disconnecting from server...(25158) Aura (exit): 00:03(25165) Nate: Nate, now alone with the crazy troll, begins slowly backing up(25162) Balish: "Hahaha..." Balish slowly begins to recover, straightening himself out. He glances at the other human, nodding. "SORRY about that, Seadwellers, crazy EVERY last ONE."(25165) Nate: "you don't seem, too sane, yourself"(25162) Balish: Balish shakes his head, clearing the last whisps of laughter. "Like you HUMANS are any better. It took, WHAT, a WEEK before one of you began LICKING Jackie's boots? Lucky for YOU, he's OUT OF THE PICTURE."(25165) Nate: "yeah, he jumped off, a dragon on his land, old news"(25162) Balish: "Oh NO, he was TORN APART in the human Kate's LAND, I think. WONDER who FINALLY did him IN, they did a GREAT JOB, if I may SAY."(25165) Nate: "Kate's land? How'd he, get there?"(25162) Balish: Balish raises an eyebrow. "How am I supposed to KNOW? I was just sent to PICK UP THE PEICES, that's all."(25165) Nate: "by whom?"(25162) Balish: "By-" Balish catches himself, narrowing his eyes slightly. "By the PERSON who USED to occupy this TOWER." He says, indicating with a hand.(25165) Nate: "that's unhelpful, maybe I can, find someone, more willing, to fill me in?"(25162) Balish: Balish blinks, gaze lingering on the tower. "Probably. Just ASK around, I ASSUME you will find out SOONER OR LATER. I'd talk to ONE of your Human FRIENDS. Now, if you will EXCUSE me..."(25162) Balish: Balish begins to levitate upwards, returning to the tower window. ((athletics)) [4df+3] => [0,1,-1,0,3] = (3)(25165) Nate: "too bad too, I know blood, what happened there, was a real mess" Nate call out as the troll floats away(25162) Balish: "It WAS." He calls down. "But it will be a WORSE MESS for those who DID the ACT, not who RECIEVED the PUNISHMENT, I can tell you THAT."(25165) Nate: "more cryptic shit, do you not have names, or something?"(25162) Balish: "I do." He calls down, teasingly. "YOU don't." With that, he disappears inside.(25165) Nate: "what a prick" Nate says to himself as he walks away
