Libby (GM):  A few hours have passed, and you've been hiding out in a small bottleneck of tunnels. You can hear the rush of water nearby, and fluttering of wings all around. Sami:  (( Make gaudy bandages )) Libby (GM):  Roll Crafts to make bandages. Lore to use them Maenam Niadis:  rolling 4df+3 ( + + 0 - ) +3 = 4 Vejant:  I shall check! Nullar:  ((TOO BAD NULL ISNT THERE)) Vejant:  Nope, no Lore for Vejeh. Sami:  (( Tie a tourniquet on his neck wound. )) Nullar:  ((well she has a +4 so all she can do is a 0 unless her missing eyes are compelled)) Sami:  (( It should be fine )) Maenam Niadis:  rolling 4df ( 0 + 0 0 ) = 1Maenam managed to get a small sheet of paisley-print fabric tied around Vejant's wound. SHE'S HELPING!!! Nullar:  ((anyone have ranged attacks? lure them one by one)) Vejant:  Vejant keeps one hand over his chest, short on breath as he leans against the cave wall. "ThIs hasN't exactly beeN goIN Well, MaeNaM. Err... thaNks for the baNdages, though." Sami:  (( Do your Disney Princess routine ))(( Put out your hands and start singing and have them sing along with you. )) Maenam Niadis:  Maenam nods, holding her wounded arm with a forced smile "Y..yeah no probs Vejjy! Are you like... okay though?" Vejant:  Page of Life Sami:  (( Haha. Poor pages. )) Vejant:  (MAENAM GOES FIRST)(It'd need to be Maenam. Vejant would never go to Balish or Nullar for help.)Vejant gives a small nod, then shrugs. "It fuckIN hurts, but I'll be fINe for NoW." He glances down the cave into darkness, trying to see anything but giving up before long. Sami:  (( Maenam's character arc will involve becoming NOT BFFsies with someone so she can fall in love. Seconds before they both die. ))(( WHEDON'D )) Maenam Niadis:  Maenam sighs a little bit as she digs around through her purse for another light source. "I might like... have something else in here to use but um... those weird birdy things are like... totes uncool... Libby (GM):  Roll investigate Maenam Niadis:  rolling 4df ( + + 0 + ) = 3 Libby (GM):  In your fice you find your old shellphone! It's totes like, so 5 years ago. But it's blingy as hell and has a supes long battery life AND a flashlight app. Maenam Niadis:  Maenam's face beams a little as she produces the shellphone from a long-hidden pocket of her purse. "Yessssss!!!" she says, handing it to Vejant "This thing should tooootes help us like get a view!" Vejant:  Vejant reaches out with his free hand to take hold of the shellphone, rolling his eyes at it, then shining it forward. "Well, We MIght as Well get goIN oN. I Need to get to the DeNIzeN, or... Well, thINgs could get bad. Or Worse thaN they already are. You alrIght to keep MovIN?" Libby (GM):  Vejant which direction are you looking. Vejant:  The way we did NOT come from. Libby (GM):  roll notice Vejant:  rolling 4df+2 ( - 0 0 - ) +2 = 0 Maenam Niadis:  Maenam nods, holding her arm "Totes nothin to worry about Vejjy, I'll be fine!" Rilset:  ((Don't hurt them!)) Libby (GM):  that's all you can see, Vejantyou might want some help Vejant:  "MaeNaM, I caN't see shIt." Sami:  (( "Vay-HAUNT" ))(( But yes, Vajayjay is clearly the funniest thing to call him. )) Maenam Niadis:  Maenam holds her phone up along with Vejant's "like, any better?" Sami:  (( Followed by "Vegetable." ))(( Nate x Vejant ship is officially dubbed "Salad." )) Vejant:  (Should I roll Notice again, or should that be up to Maenam?) Nullar:  ((at least make it tossed salad come on)) Sami:  (( Or maybe "Mixed Vegetables" is better. )) Maenam Niadis:  rolling 4df ( - + 0 + ) = 1 Sami:  (( I think she is referring to NAUGHTY things. ))(( Wilted Vegetables )) Beau:  ((Chopped vegis)) Maenam Niadis:  Maenam audibly guls "Ummmm, it looks like there's more of those birdy things down that way... Sami:  (( Just keep them from eating for a little while dudes. )) Vejant:  Vejant visibly cringes at the mention of more imps. "Well, fuck. I'M Not sure We caN Make It through More of those. Not eveN Me, whIch Is surprIsIN! FuckIN What's Her Face saId thIs Would be easy!" Sami:  (( d ^_^ b )) Maenam Niadis:  She tilts her head a bit... "ummmm, well, like we could always ask for help." she says, pulling up the pesterchum app on her shellphone "I could like, get ahold of Bally or Rilly or something..." Sami:  (( Every time someone says "Mark Wahlberg won an Oscar" or something, I always have to be like "...Markie Mark?!" ))(( That's adorable. ))(( I'm glad to hear Donnie Wahlberg has a job. )) Vejant:  Vejant turns quickly towards Maenam, then instantly regrets it as a wave of pain shoots through his chest. He takes a moment to calm down, then shakes his head. "You're Not callIN BalIsh. He caN go fuck off. RIlset, Maybe, but Not BalIsh or Nullar." Sami:  (( He was in the New Kids on the Block. That's all that matters. ))(( Ask a hummus for help. ))(( Or a twink )) Libby (GM):  ((2spooky4u)) Sami:  (( Make sure you call him after he's eaten lunch already though )) Vejant:  (3spoopy5me) Maenam Niadis:  Maenam nods a little " alrighty, Rilly is cool too" she says, texting the mysteryblood's Pesterchum"AC: hey Rilly !!! Ummmmmmm we could like toooootes use a hand if you could likeAC: gett down here ???AC: like I dunno howw but it would be toooooootes supes !!! Sami:  (( AC party up in here ))(( Three AC's. Your power bill bust be through the roof. )) Rilset:  AC: What sort of idiotic trouble have you managed to get yourself into?AC: I will see about getting down. Where are you? Maenam Niadis:  AC: uuuummm like those big creeppy birdy thinqs kinda ummm...AC: stabbed uss ???AC: were at the boottom off the lakke Rilset:  In case it had escaped your notice, I am not a seadweller. I cannot breathe underwater.AC: If you are somewhere safe, stay there. We will see about rescuing you. Maenam Niadis:  AC: okay Rilly !!! Vejant:  "Who are you talkIN to? What dId they say?" Maenam Niadis:  AC: uummmm I thiiiiink those octodudes have liike suits and junk that can help !!!"I'm talkin to Rilly, buuuuut he's like not really sure how to get down here ???" Nullar:  ((NULL HAS AN UNDERWATER BREATHING FILTER))((JUSSAYIN)) Vejant:  "...caN't he just grab oNe of those helMets or soMethIN? It's hoW I got here." Maenam Niadis:  "I told him about that, he said like 'stray there and well meet up?' or something?" Vejant:  "AlrIght, Whatever. He'd better fuckIN hurry. I caN't WaIt too loNg WIth all thIs fuckIN screaMIN." Libby (GM):  Speaking of Screaming, Make a will save, Vejant Maenam Niadis:  Maenam is still completely clueless about the screaming. Vejant:  rolling 4df+2 ( 0 - + 0 ) +2 = 2 Libby (GM):  Vejant, you manage to avoid taking mental stress as the screaming begins again, with renewed fervor Vejant:  Vejant lets out another sigh and sits down against the cave wall, shaking his head. "You kNoW What, MaeNaM? I've decIded that I fuckIN hate thIs gaMe. It's Not fuckIN fuN at all." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam blinks a bit with a small sigh "Yeah... I guess it's kinda lame and stuff..." she says, standing next to him, fiddling with her shellphone.sorry fiddlercrabbing with her shellphone Vejant:  He stays quiet for a few moments, then perks up. "But you kNoW What? There could be a Way to Make It a bIt bearable. MaeNaM, caN you Make Me a proMIse? As a frIeNd or leader or Whatever?" Nullar:  ((NOW KISS))( Maenam Niadis:  Maenam secretly sends a covert text to Balish's pesterchum "AC: SOS !!!!!!!!!!" "y..yeah Vejjy? I mean, like, I could try?" Sami:  (( What's more romantic than your sweetie knitting you a sweater? ))(( And then you pretending that the sweater she made you doesn't make you want to die inside? )) Vejant:  "So, WheN We're doNe WIth thIs Whole cave shIt, We're supposed to Make soMe sort of vote. WheN We have to pIck a MeMber of our teaM, caN you proMIse Me that you'll vote oN BalIsh WIth Me? It's for the gaMe, aNd It'll Make our teaM better." He gives her a small smile, probably in an attempt to seem more easily trusted, but he's never been good at that. Rilset:  Rilset turns to Nullar. "It seems some of our teammates have gotten themselves in trouble. We should probably go rescue them." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam blinks a bit "ummmm... like some sort of contest or something? I'll totes vote for Bally!" she says, seemingly missing any ulterior motives that will totes not come back to haunt her at a later date. That would be silly, right?' Rilset:  "They seem to be at the bottom of the lake. We will need some way to get down there without drowning. Or crashing this ship, for that matter," he adds, looking around. Balish:  CT: SOS? Really, you two go DASHING off and you are in TROUBLE? Fill me IN. Vejant:  Vejant lets out a sigh of relief. "ThaNks. If thIs Works, the gaMe WoN't be... so bad, at least. NoW... We just Need to WaIt for RIlset. Or soMethIN. He'd better fuckIN sWIM fast." Maenam Niadis:  "AC: well, liiiike we kinds got um...""AC: stabbed ??""AC: by those birdy things on the shipp ???" Balish:  CT: You are WOUNDED? Maenam Niadis:  "AC: uuuuummmmm yeah but like nott too badd""AC: Vejjy's kinda um... not good thouggh" Balish:  CT: Of COURSE,Balish curses under his breath, turning to Libby. "I NEED to head back OUT, it sounds like Maenam and Vejant are in TROUBLE, SHOCKINGLY." Libby (GM):  Libby grumbles and nudges Balish with her shoulder, before making a portal. "Hurry back, sweetie." Rilset:  "With your permission, I will attempt to land this ship," Rilset says from the control panel.rolling 4df+2 ( 0 - 0 - ) +2 = 0 Balish:  Balish steps through the portal, glaring at the two. "HIDING in a HOLE, exactly what I FIGURED would happen if I left for a SECOND." Libby (GM):  The tentacles flail uncontrollably. Maenam Niadis:  Maenam gasps a bit "Omigosh Bally I tooootes didn't expect your to show up and junk!" Vejant:  Vejant stands up suddenly when Balish shows up, once again stumbling a bit when another wave of pain shoots through his chest. "Ugh, What the fuck are you doIN here? I saId you Were IN charge up top." Rilset:  "Damn," Rilset mutters, trying to regain control.rolling 4df+2 ( + 0 0 0 ) +2 = 3 Libby (GM):  Rilset, you manage to gain access tot he ships controls Balish:  "I'm FINISHED 'up top', unlike YOU I manage to get things DONE." Libby (GM):  it is going to be a computers or a pilot/drive check to move Vejant:  "TheN fuckIN STAY up top. We're WaItIN for RIlset so he caN dIstract the bIrds. You'll just be a kNoW It all asshole aNd shIt." Rilset:  Rilset attempts to bring the ship closer to the surface.rolling 4df+2 ( 0 - 0 0 ) +2 = 1 Vejant:  (A to Z baby~)(DAMNIT, SO) Balish:  "Rilset is CAPABLE, you are WOUNDED HEAVILY, more so than Maenam let on. SIT DOWN." Balish snaps, fishing out a computer and settling against the wall. Libby (GM):  Rilset, you manage to bring the ship to rest floating on the waters surface Balish:  CT to AG: Hey, Nullar, we have WOUNDED down here, it LOOKS like Vejant was STABBED through the chest. Vejant:  Vejant lowers both arms to his sides, clenching his fists. "DaMNIt, I CAN'T sIt doWN! You saId I'd destroy shIt by goIN INto the cave, but It's the other Way arouNd! If I doN't get doWN there, We ALL lose!" Balish:  "Sit DOWN until we can get SOME BETTER TREATMENT on your WOUND. You are more USELESS DEAD than you are ALIVE." Nullar:  "Sup, Rilset?" Null asked, then held a finger up when her headset began to speak. She obviously has priorities. "What? hahahaha can you tell him 'HAHA' for me?" Balish:  "Nullar thinks it's FUNNY you are INJURED, by the WAY." Nullar:  "You seem like you have a pretty good handle on the controls, go for it," she says, looking really uncomfortable in Rilset's general direction. Vejant:  Vejant takes a moment to glare at Balish, but eventually relents and sits again. Despite his anger, he can't deny that he's right this time. "Just get us past those fuckIN bIrds, aNd I'll haNdle the rest. After that, you caN shove It." If all goes well, he won't have to put up with Balish much longer. Maenam had better keep that promise. Rilset:  "We have descended. Now we just need some way of getting down there without drowning. Any ideas?" Rilset asks. Nullar:  "I have a breathing filter but it'd probably be best if we got some of the retrofitted air helmets." Balish:  Balish blinks at the message, and ignores it. He glances at Maenam. "How are you FEELING, Maenam? Come, sit DOWN for a moment, you are BLEEDING." He pats a spot beside him, scooting over a little.CT: I don't THINK you need an AIRHELMET... Maenam Niadis:  Maenam sighs a bit as she looks over at Balish "I'm fine Bally. We should probably start moving first, or at least like scope things out?" she says, adjusting her bandage. Nullar:  "My physique isn't particularly high, Balish I don't think I want to go diving into unknown depths without something but if you say so" Balish:  "It's a BAD IDEA with HIM like that." He says, glancing to Vejant. "I would like Nullar's OPINION on the would FIRST." Vejant:  "What's to scope out? There are a buNch of feathery assholes out there. We kNoW that Much." Balish:  CT: Nullar, AGAIN, Vejant got STABBED. What should we DO, any ADVICE? You know MORE about this than I DO. Nullar:  "I can try to talk you through the healing process over the headset, I did something similar for Jossik back when he wasn't a complete waste of oxygen." Balish:  CT: WHEN? Wait, NO, moving ON. Nullar:  rolling 4df+4 ( + + - + ) +4 = 6 Maenam Niadis:  Maenam blinks a bit "W...wait Nully is back!?" she says, taken aback. Nullar:  rolling 4df ( - + - - ) = -2 Balish:  He glances up. "YEAH, I had to CARRY her onto the SHIP."rolling 4df+3 ( - 0 + - ) +3 = 2 Maenam Niadis:  Maenam grins giddly "OH EM GEEEEEE I toooootes didnt know !!!" Balish:  Balish fiddles around with Vejant's wound, doing the best he can to patch him up. "BETTER?" He growls, settling back down. Vejant:  "You're Not exactly My Ideal Nurse, Bal, but yeah. StIll hard to breathe, though. AskIN you to kIss that booboo WoN't help Much, WIll It?" Balish:  Balish glances up the hole. "BY the WAY, but WHAT is UP there that made this idiot RUN like a squeakbeasts?" Vejant:  Vejant scowls, but doesn't try to argue. "ReMeMber the thINgs oN that shIp? IN the cage across froM us?""Take those, aNd Make 'eM evIl as shIt." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam is currently digging around in her purse for the hoodie she had prepared for Nullar's return "yeah those things are toooootes hellacreepy." Balish:  "Those LITTLE flying BALLS OF FLUFF?" He raises an eyebrow. "There is a psychopathic white-skinned MURDERER out to CULL every one of us.and you run from some BIRD." Vejant:  "Hey, fuck you! If they're No bIg deal, theN YOU caN go out there aNd get your horNs shoved up your ass!" Rilset:  "Would you like me to take you down, my dear?" Rilset asks carefully, studying her blindfold. He picks up a helmet and fiddles with it, hoping to modify it for troll use.rolling 4df+4 ( - 0 + 0 ) +4 = 4 Nullar:  "Uh, no, not really, if no is an option?" Null grumbles and gives a very unimpressed look. Balish:  He rolls his eyes, and glances at Maenam. "STAY here, I'm going to SCOUT out up there." Nullar:  ((imagine a x then a capital I)) Rilset:  "If you wish to leave them to their own devices, we can," Rilset say, picking up another helmet. "But I think we might need them." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam makes a few last minute alterations to Nullar's hoodie "Sure, just be careful Bally..." Rilset:  rolling 4df+4 ( - - - 0 ) +4 = 1Rilset hands Nullar the best helmet. "So, shall we go?" he asks. Nullar:  "Yeah, yeah," she says. She puts it on easily, then wades into the water. "Uh.... which way?" Balish:  Balish pauses, then pulls his computer back up. CT to AG: Be CAREFUL, there are a LOT of weird BIRD LIKE creatures fiddling ABOUT. They need to be KILLED, if you would be so KIND." Nullar:  "I'm keeping the loot then." Rilset:  Rilset puts hand gently around her wrist, placing the other helmet over his head. "Down, would be my guess," he says, diving down. Balish:  CT: You wouldn't EVEN KNOW where the loot would FALL. Nullar:  "Yeah, well, fu-lfksdhafjsh AGH I'M UNDERWATER GODDAMNIT IT RILSET" Balish:  "CAREFUL at the CAVE ENTERENCE, there are a FEW around there and a BIGGER ONE in the BACK. We can HIT the bigger one from the BACK if you can DISTRACT it. Nullar:  "DSFARGEG"rolling 4df+2 ( 0 0 0 + ) +2 = 3 Balish:  CT: I don't UNDERSTAND Rilset:  rolling 4df+1 ( - 0 + - ) +1 = 0rolling 4df+1 ( + + 0 0 ) +1 = 3 Libby (GM):  YOu manage to make it down to the entrance ot the cave well enough. Let me add you to the map. Nullar:  Nullar removes her helmet when she feels air, placing it on the ground quietly. "This would be easier if you has a headset..." Null pulls out her skyputer or whichever one it is than converts speech to text. "Log yourself in and then use this to whisper at me. You won't be able to hear my replies." Balish:  CT: HURRY up, Vejant is STARTING to SMELL Sami:  (( I need to watch that episode of Futurama right now )) Rilset:  Rilset pulls the helmet from his head, caploging it. "I have a built-in computer in my helmet," he replies, studying the dead bird-thing. "I will commicate with text only. Take my hand," he offers. "Let see if we can be stealthy." Nullar:  "Oh, okay." She recaptchalogues it. "If you can distract them I can keep smashing them in the head. How many are there immediately?"She holds his hand like it's a wet fish.Can Nullar attempt to Hope them invisible, to add to their stealth rolls? Rilset:  "Can't see from here. Judging from the quality of our companions, this is probably the only one they managed to kill," Rilset says, toeing the body. Nullar:  "Well, pick up the grist if there is any."rolling 4df+2 ( + + - - ) +2 = 2rolling 4df+3 ( 0 + + - ) +3 = 4 Sami:  ((hahahahahahaha pages suck))(( This is the old dilemma of a Bard using INspire Competence to aid in Stealth Rolls. )) Rilset:  Rilset scoops up the grist.rolling 4df+1 ( - - + + ) +1 = 1rolling 4df+3 ( - + 0 + ) +3 = 4 Nullar:  We move down the tunnel.

Rilset:  Rilset stands uncomfortably close behind someone, waiting to be noticed. Nullar:  rolling 4df+0 ( + + - + ) +0 = 2"HEEEY VEJANT," Nullar says. Maenam Niadis:  rolling 4df+3 ( + + - - ) +3 = 3 Vejant:  Vejant glances up upon hearing his name. "What?" Balish:  Balish blinks, sighing. "SO Nullar is HERE, judging by that YELL. Still CREEPING around?" Maenam Niadis:  "Uhhhhhhh Nully... if you like the pants I can totes make you your own pair..." Vejant:  "WaIt, fuck, Nullar Is here, too? Well, NoW It's just the asshole faMIly reuNIoN." He lets out a sigh, then looks down again, grumbling to himself.

Libby (GM):  Balish, you can see a vague outline, but it's hard to grasp. Balish:  He glances at Vejant. "I can't HEAR you over all that BLEEDING you are doing." He glances at the larger outline. "Rilset, if THAT is YOU, I figured you would be more MATURE than THIS." Nullar:  "He's here too, dude, we're stealthed because we're not total losers like you."(("Now let's go before our aspect bonuses wear off.")) Vejant:  "Yeah, yeah, be aN asshole all you lIke, Bal. WoN't have to put up WIth you Much loNger." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam is still a little dumbstricken "Nully can I have my pants back now please?" Sami:  (( TP assumed that the only thing that saved Maenam's dignity is that she wears her pants too tight. )) Nullar:  ((sorry nik is finding this all very amusing)) Balish:  Balish blinks, glancing down. "EXCUSE me? You KNOW you were going to BLEED OUT right?" Nullar:  "Are you planning on attacking him sir spits up pink foam? Why woujldn't you have to deal with him, hmmmmm?" Libby (GM):  Vejant, roll a will Vejant:  "You're pleNty excused.

He rolls his eyes, then cringes a bit as the screaming picks up. "SerIously, though, caN We PLEASE hurry the fuck up?" Sami:  (( Even if that does mean it looks like pus now )) Nullar:  "Ehehehehe fingers crossed. I suppose you would be okay if one of these imps ripped out your tongue, though." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam sighs as once again everyone starts bickering "Yeah, I'm with Vejjy, I think we should, like start moving here..." Vejant:  "Hey, at least We'd Match. The No-ToNgue Troll aNd the Eyeless Wonder." Balish:  Balish sighs. "RIGHT, enough of YOU TWO acting like WRIGGLERS. Nullar and Rilset, stay in STEALTH, attack from BEHIND while Rilset, Maenam, and I ENGAGE." Nullar:  "Are you sure they're fit for engaging? And besides can't you just COMMAND them out of the way?>" Balish:  ((Vejant** shit)) Vejant:  (One physical stress, punctured lung)(That's not a minor)(My minor was "Roughed Up")(I'd imagine that a punctured lung would be Severe?)(Oh! Sweet action! Fixed on the sheet~) Balish:  "Shut up Nullar, we have NO TIME to listen to you. We need to MOVE FORWARD." Rilset:  "Watch your tone, highblood," Rilset growls. Vejant:  "SIt, boy. Just let hIM do hIs fuckIN thINg so We caN get out of here." Balish:  "OKAY, better YET, EVERYONE shut up and let's MOVE FORWARD, once Nullar checks UP on these two."

She streilizes the sewing supplies and looks to Vejant. Balish:  "I'd OFFER to let you check up on ME as well, but knowing YOU you'd PROBABLY try to cop a FEEL, so JUST the Goldblood if you WOULD." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam sighs "OH EM GEE you guys, can we PU-LEASE just act like we aren't wigglers for like five seconds !?!" she shouts out while Null fixes her arm "Um, thanks Null btw...""You guys have like just toooootes bickered since you got here, maybe we can just like... not do that for a while and take care of the bunch of vcreepy birddudes and stuff?" she says, tapping her foot for emphasis.*bickering** nvm that correction Vejant:  "Just... let's do Whatever the fuck We're goNNa do.

Vejant:  (Fuck yeah, heals) Nullar:  Nullar grins and wiggles her blood covered fingers at Balish. "Are you SUUUUURE?' she asks, finally addressing him. Rilset:  Rilset bites his lips. The temptation to lick the blood from those dainty fingers is difficult to overcome. Vejant:  (I was zoned out, did you want me to roll a will?) Rilset:  rolling 4df+1 ( 0 + + - ) +1 = 2 Vejant:  rolling 4df+2 ( - - 0 - ) +2 = -1 Libby (GM):  Vejant, a sudden pain in your lower back and abdomen overcomes you. It appears that Haumea's contractions are getting stronger. Balish:  He clicks his tongue. "GET in POSITION, we need to KEEP MOVING. Rilset and Nullar, BEHIND the larger bird. and if you CAN, Rilset take ONE OUT with a NET, so we can FOCUS on one at a TIME."

Rilset:  rolling 4df+1 ( + 0 - 0 ) +1 = 1 Balish:  "Maenam, Vejant and I will keep their FOCUS. Maenam, Vejant, be CAREFUL and stay BEHIND me.If I tell ANY of you to COVER your EARS, do so.

Maenam Niadis:  Maenam readies her purse and points her shellphone forward while looking back at Vejant "Lets cut the abaloney and get the shell out of here, Vejjy doesn't look so good." she says, beginning the movement forward with or without the group. Vejant:  "I doN't fuckIN feel healed!" Whatever. She could've poisoned him and just lied, not like she'd care. He just grits his teeth for now and waits for the pain to pass, if it ever does.

Vejant:  Vejant takes a deep breath and stands up again, backing away from the wall. "AlrIght, I'll try, I guess. DoN't see What else I caN fuckIN do."

Nullar:  "What is it SAYING? Let us help!" Nullar pleads, getting nervous. Pal:  She blinks a bit "Uuuuummmm, but I don't speak baby Bally..." Balish:  He blinks, and sighs. Oh Maenam.

"What is it AFRAID of? Vejant, you have CONVERSATION, tell us." Rilset:  Rilset ideally wonders how this creature would taste. Not that he would strike first of course. But if it came to that, he might take a few samples for examination. Who knows how prenatal flesh could affect plant growth? Vejant:  Vejant grits his teeth again from the pain, but looks up to the fetus. "Yeah, you're scared? What the fuck's there to be scared of? You're fuckIN HUGE!" Pal:  Maenam feels the baby's fear, but confuses it for coldness, and begins trying to estimate the amount of plaid print she would need for a sweatervest this big Nullar:  ((wrong.... wrong window?)) Libby (GM):  "It's cold and lonely out there." Balish:  Balish glances at the baby, suppressing a shiver. It's fear all right, luckily not directed at him.

You're afraid of being usurped by one of your scary friends. Don't make fun of me!" Balish:  Balish crosses his arms. "A CONCRETE fear, do not DISMISS it so EASILY Vejant."

Nullar:  "Ugh Balish I was kidding don't be a dick" Rilset:  "Vejant, be stop your idiotic yelling and tell this creature exactly what I say," Rilset says firmly, ignoring Balish.â€œUndeveloped creature, hear me. I know that the world outside may seem hostile, and that you may feel safe inside these walls of flesh. But you are not safe here. Eventually, others like us will come and invade your home, and they will not be as friendly as we are. You must escape this place, that you may develop and grow strong.

Balish:  Balish blinks, glancing back and forth from the baby and the others chatting with it or something. "OKAY, this is getting WEIRD, I'm just going to go OVER THERE and uh... WAIT." Balish takes a step back, things about leaning against the wall or sitting down, thinks better of it, and balances the LeapGrub on a hand, looking preoccupied." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam grins "Oh Em Gee babydude, like lookin TOOOOTES awesome when hangin with your buddies!" she says giving a small bow to show off her outfit. Libby (GM):  "That's cute.

Don't you want to see what sunlight is, feel grass between your toes? The sun is beautiful here, not at all like my planet."((there was a +2 with that)) Balish:  Balish keeps an ear open, and allows the probing mental control to echo in his head, but continues to play around on his LeapGrup Maenam Niadis:  "Buuuuuuuut the octodudes are cool... why wouldn't you like to help them out and junk?

"Even if the Octopii should die, there will be others. Those who would feast on you tender flesh, given the chance. Come out of your fortress of flesh. Grow strong!"rolling 4df+1 ( + 0 + + ) +1 = 4 Libby (GM):  Haumea shivers. "Things will eat me?" Balish:  "SAFE?" Balish cocks an eyebrow. "Do you KNOW what is out there? I'm SHOCKED those crazy BIRD THINGS haven't found there way in. BESIDES, the outside is actually BEAUTY, you've just NEVER know any different." Balish doesn't pay much attention to the creature, rather continuing to play around. Nullar:  "Rilset don't be creepy. Life isn't all about fighting and growing strong! It's also abouit... fuck, cool, interesting things! And challenges! And plants and water and earth!"rolling 4df+2 ( + 0 0 + ) +2 = 4 Balish:  "She HAS a POINT, have you even SMELT the FRESH AIR?" Nullar:  Nullar subtly flicked Balish off behind her back. Balish:  Balish fails to notice. Ages Before the Condesce is rather engaging. Maenam Niadis:  rolling 4df+2 ( - 0 + - ) +2 = 1 Libby (GM):  "What are plants?" Nullar:  "OMG. I'm so glad you asked." Maenam Niadis:  Maenam gasps "OH EM GEE, Bally is right, air is like sooooo aweseome! And plants are totes legit!" Vejant:  Vejant sits down and crosses his arms. "You caN't go explorIN aNd shIt If you're stuck IN here. I couldN't fuckIN staNd stayIN IN here! You get out there, you'll have fuckIN Albatrossdad as aN aWesoMe frIeNd, you'll be able to see real shIt, aNd you WoN't have us botherIN you aNyMore." Balish:  "DOWN Nullar, Rilset, we DON'T need a CULTURE SHOCK." Vejant:  rolling 4df+1 ( 0 - 0 - ) +1 = -1(I have absolutely no luck with Rapport.) Rilset:  "Plants are wonderful," Rilset say perking up. "They are the great things in all of creation. They come in so many shapes and sizes and colors. No two are exactly alike." Nullar:  "Plants are beautiful creatures. They don't speak, and most can't move on their own, but they can be your truest friends. Some grow tall and strong, others make delicate bushes. Some have beautiful flowers of all colours. Every colour surrounding you now, every colour on us, and more, so much more than you can imagine. Some can heal, some can poison. And Some can even hold you when... when you're sad, if you're sad. You can hide in their branches or climb to the top of them to see the entire world. Plants are, really, the best thing in existence."rolling 4df+4 ( + + + 0 ) +4 = 7 Rilset:  rolling 4df+3 ( + - - - ) +3 = 1 Nullar:  ((*takes a bow*)) Libby (GM):  Haumea leans forward. "Do you have plants? Will you show me some outside?" Nullar:  "I can show you ri I mean of course! I'll show you everything I have and everything that this planet has to offer as well. (:" Rilset:  Rilset listens to his lady talk in admiration. She has a way with word he could never match. Nullar:  (X sorry Balish:  "The PROBLEM is all the PLANTS seem to be... DISSIPATING." Balish sighs, closing his computer. Nullar:  "Balish shut up" Libby (GM):  "Ok... How do I get out?" Balish:  He shrugs. "I KNOW how, but... I GUESS I can explain to you..."Balish glances at the group, flushing slightly. "TRY not to think LESS of me for this, it wasn't my CHOICE of reading MATERIAL." Nullar:  "You look good in purple, Balish, ehehe."NVM)) Vejant:  Vejant steps aside, gesturing for Balish to step up front and center while he explains what to do. Instead, he goes over and steps next to Rilset. Maenam Niadis:  Maenam tilts her head a bit "uuuummmmmmmm..... wut?" Balish:  Balish sighs, cracking his neck. "WELL, from what I can TELL, you need to go HEAD FIRST down the TUNNEL we came out of. Your MOTHER will help with the muscle contractions, but you MUST be RELAXED, and GO with the flow. You MUST trust your mother in this." Libby (GM):  "Oh, so how are you getting out?" Vejant:  Vejant cringes a bit at the idea of how this works, but shrugs it off. Instead, he taps Rilset on the shoulder to get his attention. "Yo, RIlset, caN I talk to you for a secoNd?" Balish:  "That CORD will EXTEND, we will need to CUT it once you are OUT, unfortunately... I BELIEVE the BEST course will be to RIDE the fluid OUT, to get PAST the IMPS." Nullar:  "I'd ask you to hold me in your hand little one but I think you may crush me." Balish:  "Could you HOLD us ALL? It's a STRANGE request, but this isn't EXACTLY an ideal situation. We should NOT interfere." Rilset:  "Yes, what is it?" Rilset ask Vejant impatiently, brushing his hand away. Balish:  "Nullar can SWIM, I guess." Nullar:  "Dude she likes ME best!" Vejant:  "Do you thINk you could do Me a favor? Perhaps as a Way of repayIN Me for haNgIN oNto your plaNt, Maybe as the oNe thINg you folloW WIth Me as leader, or eveN both. But caN you do oNe thINg for Me?"(It'll totes work.)(It's now or never!) Libby (GM):  The infant shivers. A scream echoes through the chambers. Roll Will everyone. Balish:  rolling 4df+3 ( - 0 0 + ) +3 = 3 Nullar:  rolling 4df+2 ( + - - + ) +2 = 2rolling 4df+1 ( + - - 0 ) +1 = 0 Vejant:  rolling 4df+2 ( - - - + ) +2 = 0 Rilset:  "If it involves bashing you over the head and consuming the meat off your ribs, yes. Otherwise, now is not the best time," Rilset snaps. Maenam Niadis:  rolling 4df+4 ( 0 - 0 - ) +4 = 2 Rilset:  rolling 4df+1 ( - - 0 - ) +1 = -2 Libby (GM):  everyone who didn't get 1 or better, you auto-fail the next roll. Everyone roll athletics Balish:  rolling 4df+3 ( 0 0 + - ) +3 = 3 Nullar:  rolling 4df+2 auto fail ): ( + + 0 0 ) +2 = 4 Vejant:  Auto-fail, yay! Maenam Niadis:  rolling 4df+3 ( - + + + ) +3 = 5 Rilset:  Auto-fail. Libby (GM):  Boxtext time. Vejant:  (Doo doo doo, doo-doo, doodoo, doo, DOO DOO, doo!) Libby (GM):  Haumea's water breaks, and delivery begins. As the deluge of liquid, which you realize is the same liquid that filled the caldera, flows out, those of you who made the athletics manage to grab ahold of Haumea or the umbilical cord, and ride it out of the cave system and into the Caldera. Those who didn't are taking 3 physical stress from nearly drowning. When it ends, you all gain the aspect "Soaked in Amniotic Fluid". You find yourselves treading water far above the Caldera, Vejant's hive floating on a nearby island, not far from a gate. Wading through the water nearby is a young woman, and she waves when she sees you. "Where are the plants?" Balish:  "The SHORE." He says, shaking a bit. Nullar:  "Look at you!!!" Null says with wonder."Is that you?!"She coughs up water, then excitedly begins making her way to the shore. "FOLLOW ME!!! :D :D :D " Balish:  XDXDXD** Nullar:  ||D Maenam Niadis:  "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Maenam yells, taking gleeful delight in this wonderous horror of nature. Libby (GM):  Haumea approaches, towering over you. The island comes up to her knees. And she is very naked. "Well?" She gathers up any of you still swimming, and plops you onto the island. Balish:  "I am GOING to LOSE my MIND. WHERE is SHORE, PLEASE." Balish says, floating in the bodily fluid. Nullar:  Null begins decaptchaloguing a wild array of plants. Balish:  Nevermind then xD Nullar:  "LOOK This is a heavenly suckle! And this is a baby hotaru plant! And this is RC's strain of it! And this is english ivy! And this is a giant pitcher plant but be careful it's filled with poison!" Vejant:  Vejant drags himself towards the shore after the wet and wild ride. He takes several moments to try and recover, eventually simply sitting up and trying to clear his lungs. Nullar:  "AND LOOK THIS IS A TREE I MADE FROM RC'S HOTARU"((-1 will everyone sorry)) Balish:  Balish curls up in a ball. "SOMEONE help the naked lady OUT, I am going to TRY MY BEST not to FLY off the HANDLE from all this BODILY FLUID." Nullar:  "And I'd show you my horror suckle but honestly we're all injured so that's a very bad idea." Libby (GM):  Haumea listens intently, reaching out and poking each one, though her fingers are the size of Nullar."Can I keep one?" Rilset:  Rilset examines the many plants laid out. He has never seen some of these species. Being surrounded by plants puts him in a much better mood then he had been in. Maenam Niadis:  Maenam begins sketching out plans for a full wardrobe for the newly born ladydude. "OMG I think Orange would TOOOOOOOTEs be your color!" Balish:  "GIVE her the Hotaru." He says, shivering. Sami:  (( Give her a Rafflesia. )) Vejant:  Vejant eventually picks himself up off the ground, turning and making his way away from the water. He makes a point of passing Rilset along the way, "Just oNe thINg. Vote for BalIsh, aNd I'll fuckIN leave you aloNe. You'll see." With that, he goes a short distance away and works to try and dry himself off, not fond of the fluids in any way. Nullar:  "Wait. WAIT." Null takes a moment to search then approaches her, materializing a pot. It's a very tiny pot compared to the denizen, of course, but inside is a gorgeous genetically altered orchid. It's blood red in the middle going out to mutant red, and the sexual organs are a bright yellow. "Do you like this one? Maybe you could even make it bigger, whatwith the life skills and shit.""You can have whatever you want but some of them are dangerous, so just ask me first." Libby (GM):  Haumea nods. "I can. easily. Plant it, will you?" Nullar:  Nullar looks wildly pleased that she asked. "Anywhere in particular?"by blood red I meant her maroon btw oops ))))) Libby (GM):  She gestures to the ground. Nullar:  Nullar can't see her gesture. "Uh..... here's okay??" she asked. Vejant:  (5 AM for me. Get on my level.) Balish:  Balish wheezes a little. Nullar:  She sets the plant down and uncaptchalogues her hoe, setting to work breaking the soil and making a hole. She uncaptchalogues water and other things, and transplants the plant toits new home. Rilset:  Rilset watches in admiration. He always loves seeing new life being planted. Libby (GM):  Haumea prods it gently, and the orchid grows incessantly tall, with the flowers growing large enough to shade the island. Vejant:  (Rilset, Vejant said something to you before walking off. Seems my addition got buried.) Nullar:  Nullar stares up in wonder.NVM Balish:  Balish wishes to talk, but wheezes again instead, keeping his eyes closed. Nullar:  ")|| is it pretty guys" Rilset:  Rilset looks at the large plant in glee. If only he possessed this power! "It is beautiful, my dear," he answer Nullar. Maenam Niadis:  Maenam blinks a bit "well of course its pretty NullohmygoshNullyyourblind!"=:O Nullar:  Nullar takes a move action to look super fucking sad. She sits on the ground and leans her back against the plant's now sturdy stalk, smelling it."Yep" Libby (GM):  Haumea smiles widely. "I like it, very much. Thank you." Nullar:  "N-.... No problem! I'm glad. It's not often I can share my passions with others."")||" Balish:  "PROBABLY because you are too busy..." The rest of the half-muttered sentence is lost in Balish's knees as he curls tighter. Nullar:  Nullar bares her teeth at his words, pretty sre she's glad she didn't hear the end of it. Rilset:  "Now, please remember to care for this plant," Rilset tells the newborn sternly. "It will need watering, sunlight, and attention. Don't forget!" Nullar:  (she's totes a hot lady now bro)) Libby (GM):  "I think I can handle that. Is there anything I can do to thank you for such a lovely gift?" Vejant:  Vejant perks up at this, speaking up. "Actually, yeah, there kINd of Is soMethIN you caN do!" Balish:  "HOW ABOUT A PORTAL OUT OF HERE YOU KNOW TO MOVE ON." Balish says too fast. Nullar:  "She wasn't asking YOU vejant!" Maenam Niadis:  Maenam nears Nullar tentatively and sits down beside her. "um... I know it's kind of late, but uh... " she hands Nullar the hoodie. "I promised you an wardrobe remix..." Vejant:  "ANd I doN't gIve a fuck What you thINk, Null! LeMMe do My fuckIN job, that's all I ask. CaN I do that? CaN I play the fuckIN gaMe We're stuck IN?" Nullar:  Nullar holds the material close. She wishes she could see it like she did the last one. "I'm sure it's gorgeous, Maenam!" she says, falsely cheerful.Null stands up very suddenly. "Say ANOTHER FUCKING DROW, TNAJEV UOY MUCS" Libby (GM):  "Is a portal what you would like?" Rilset:  "Indeed, Vejant. Be silent," Rilset adds. Vejant:  "Told ya before, Null, the backWards shIt Works IN text, but Not IN persoN." Nullar:  "We need you to unlock the gate out of here," Nullar says, grinding her teeth and clutching the niadis original hard enough to almost tear it. Balish:  "YEAH TOTALLY GETTING OUT OF HERE SEEMS NICE NO OFFENSE WE CAN VISIT WHEN WE ARE CLEANED UP." Nullar:  "Not that we don't want to stay longer, but there are other places we need to go BALISH SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU BITCH" Balish:  "THATS WHAT I'M SAYING, THAT'S WHAT HMMMMMM" Libby (GM):  Haumea nods, and stands, walking around the island to the portal, which is still, and bright red. She touches it, and it turns green, before starting to spin lazily in the air. "There we are. right as rain." Balish:  Balish begins to unfurl but tightens up. "I-I think I NEED HELP, I NEED FUUU---HMMMM." Balish cuts himself off, covering it up with a coughing fit. Nullar:  Nullar frowns. "Is Balish alright?" she asks, to anyone with eyes. Vejant:  Vejant rolls his eyes at Balish. "I'd help If you WereN't such aN asshole." Utterly done with the entire scene, not wanting to put up with things any longer than he has to, he makes his way over to the portal. Once in front of it, he tentatively pokes at it with one hand. "HoW does thIs thINg Work?" Maenam Niadis:  Maenam sighs as she goes over to Balish, "He's just uhh... kinda freakin out I think." she says, producing a beach towel from her purse modus to help him clean up. "C'mon Bally, let's get you cleaned up..." Libby (GM):  "Just walk in." Nullar:  Null makes a mondo sad face. "No... No, that's not right, Balish you're not allowed to 'freak out' you little wriggler." Vejant:  Vejant shrugs and does just that. "WheN you guys are doNe WastIN tIMe, let's get thIs shIt over WIth. FINally fuckIN progressIN IN the gaMe here." Sami:  (( Fill them with Sopor Slime )) Nullar:  "Go through the damn gate you whiny bulgesniffer." Vejant:  (He already did. :3) Nullar:  "We've got other shit to deal with. Haumeau, silly question, can you make it rain?" Balish:  "Nope NOPE get this HUSK OF FUSCHIA AWAY from me PLEASE it's NOT OKAY." Nullar:  Nullar looks through her inventory. She finds something particularly smelly and says "Maenam put this under his nose." Libby (GM):  Haumea nods. "Of course." More amniotic fluid begins to fall from the sky. Nullar:  "I think it's the blood. He freaked out once when we were kissing." Sami:  (( Oh yeah. Say that as you're walking through a portal that might well lead toward Libby. )) Balish:  Balish whimpers, thankfully under the flower. Nullar:  "It was a nice bloodykiss," Nullar says, and smiles at the memory very toothily. Rilset:  Rilset decatologes his Pneumatic Blunderbuss and aims it towards Balish. He wants to be prepared for a freakout. Sami:  (( Yes. Aim an air-powered rifle at the prince of breath. A+ plan. )) Maenam Niadis:  Maenam is actually taken aback by Balish's insult frowning a bit. "Um... not cool man, not cool." she says, nearly in tears as she drops the beach towel by Balish's side and storming off through the portal, shoven Vejant out of the way and entering swiftly Vejant:  (But Vejant was already in!) Sami:  (( T_T You made Maenam cry. ))(( Your blood must flow )) Nullar:  "Goddamnit, do I have to do anything<" Nullar growls. "Here ASSHOLE," she says. She puts the smelling salt in a piece of bandage then pushes it in balish's direction. "Stand up and walk, you little wriggler. Put this on your nose.""And don't bite my fucking han." Rilset:  Rilset follows the highblood slowly, taking Nullar's hand. "Time to go, my dear," he says, keeping his gun aimed at Balish Nullar:  Nullar growls and snatches her hand away. She drops the smelling salts next to Balish and stalks off on her own."Try not to take too long, boys." Balish:  ."HEY big LADY that SMELLS like when no if TOTALLY HYPOTHETICAL IF I split you OPEN you could COVER the WHOLE WORLD in a MURAL, do my a FAVOR AND just FLICK me in." Nullar:  "Balish you're insane smell the salts and LET'S GO" Libby (GM):  Haumea lifts Balish gently by the back of his hoodie, and gives him a gentle toss into the portal.EVERYONE'S IN THE PORTAL Sami:  (( SO is 100% done with this shit )) Libby (GM):  https://31.media.tumblr.com/5326a6b6b554289a8a43d2188a7f1b71/tumblr_mxlwfti5At1qchjtmo1_250.gif Vejant:  Maenam. Libby (GM):  Vote for which world you're going to next Rilset:  Nullar. Balish:  Maenam's World Nullar:  null's voting herself. she would like to figure out what's going on with her land and balish's sounds awful. Maenam Niadis:  Balish Nullar:  null would ask maenam to change her mind. Balish:  Balish would too Nullar:  'let me get being the leader out of the way so I don't have to do anymore." Balish:  "FINE anything but Rilset's or MINE, Nullar it IS." Vejant:  "You MeaN What you've beeN doIN the Whole tIMe?" Nullar:  A+good times had by all Libby (GM):  Now you must vote who you will be removing from your team. Nullar:  vejant Vejant:  Balish Rilset:  Vejant. Balish:  Vejant Maenam Niadis:  Vejant
