[It's a lovely afternoon, here on this path in the middle of the forest. Oh, wait... what's that, you say? You weren't in the middle of a forest? Well, you are now. How 'bout that?] [You're not alone, though. In the distance you can here noise. Lots of noise. People talking, music, things like that. You might wanna go investigate. Or you might wanna introduce yourself to all these fascinating people who have suddenly appeared here with you.] (hear noise, even... typoing already ^^;) [The path, by the way is "paved" in wood chips, of all things. Just so you know. It's summertime, so the leaves are nice and thick and green, though a bit of sunlight is getting through.] [So... let the game begin! Session Start, and God have mercy on the GM.] * Taki looks around blinking, "Wha...Jin? Not again..." * Kyle blinks and looks around. "...don't tell me I fell asleep in class again." *** Capfox has joined #oneshot * Lurika glides on her skates on the top of one of the branches and hops off in an acrobatic leap, turning in midair. The manuevuer would be more impressive if she landed with her feet facing the ground instead of straight up with her nose in the soil next to this whole group, in which position she stays for a few seconds before she flops to the ground. * Irwin gets up off the floor (funny that, how did he end up there?). He rubs his head. "Maybe I was supposed to mix Talcum Powder with the ..." * Kyle blinks at Lurika. "Hey, you alright?" * Lurika lies in an unceremonious heap with her butt in the air. Owwwwwwwie..... * Ao-Lang appears in the middle of a conversation. "And another thing! You have got to stop apologizing for everything! Do it if you mean it, don't... do..." She blinks. "What the HELL!" * Taki walks over to Lurika and offers her a hand up, "Hi, have you seen a kid in a hocky jersy, 'bout this tall, looks confused?" * Claire is just there. Suddenly. She looks around once and then rubs her head. ...I think we're all confused, right now. (Oh, god. Looks confused has suddenly become a part of Satoshi's description. ;p) Fuck yes, I'm confused! ( Jin is responsible for all these one-shots. Woot. ) (No, she's looking for Jin...who's been dressing in Satoshi's clothes remember?) * Ao-Lang looks around. "This'd better not be one of Tulpa's tricks. I swear, I'm gonna kick his butt so hard..." She stops. "Wait. Who're you guys? Didja bring me here?" * Lurika gets up on her knees and rubs her nose. "Huh...this doesn't look like the headquarters...oh, I know, I'm dreaming!" She starts banging her fist against her head, "Wake, ow, up, ow, Luri, ow, Luri, ow..." (Ahh, that's right. Well, considering how things have been going in Arcana, it fits Satoshi too.) ( ^^ ) Yeah. See? We all look pretty confused. I assume you didn't all just fall asleep, right? I don't think this is dream...might be an illusion though. I don't know, did I? * Claire doesn't look particularly confused. I was just talkin' to one of my teammates. This... doesn't look like part of campus. * Lurika taps the bandage already on her nose. She doesn't look confused either. She's just, uh, looking. (You might want to describe yourselves, for those who aren't familiar with your games. Just a suggestion. ^_~) (Should we do descript now?) * Ao-Lang looks Kyle over, then grins suddenly. "But you are cute, so I guess I don't mind too much." Doesn't look like part of my campus, either. Shucks, I'd even hazard to say that we've been mysteriously transported to some place we're not familiar with. * Kyle blinks, and reddens slightly. "Er, I am?" * Irwin brushes himself off, seemingly oblivious to the chaos around him. He's about six feet tall, with short ginger-colored hair and blue eyes, and dressed in a dark-blue robe. * Taki nods at Kyle, "That makes twice." Probably an alternate universe. Alternate? ...crap. I was hoping to at least see more of the US before I ended up in one of those. * Irwin is difficult find out the physical characteristics of because of the longass dre- err, robe. But what you do see looks like someone who hasn't gotten any sleep recently. ( Oh. He must be a college student. ) * Irwin blinks and looks at everyone else. He blinks again, then backs away... falling on his butt. Ooff! *** JesseLman has joined #oneshot * Ao-Lang grins even wider. "Sure are. What, you have a problem with being cute?" For the record, Ao-Lang is a short, extremely pretty Chinese girl in her young teens, with full, black hair braided into pigtails that go just below shoulder-length. She wears a silk Chinese shirt with long sleeves, jeans, and shiny black leather boots. Her eyes are mismatched: one gold, one blue. * Taki is short...like nearly two feet shorter than Irwin...and looks a lot like her picture http://besm.sandwich.net/ARC/art/taki2-color.gif ( But is she lazy? =P ) * Kyle is tall and handsome. Or cute, if you ask Ao-Lang, who would be an expert on the matter. Maybe. He has brown eyes and hair, a face that looks like it smiles a good deal, and a thin, lean, well-muscled frame. ( No, wait! Taki is LAIZE! The living embodiment of laize faire economics! ) (Sometimes, depends on how much of RDM's personality rubs off on her at a given moment) (And if that wasn't good enough for you: http://besm.sandwich.net/BH/art/aolang.jpg ) (If Gryph can do it, so can I. ;P) (Taki's two feet shorter than Irwin? She's four feet tall?) (Wow, she's shorter than Isaac.) (no, four anda half) (Taki is shorter than Chie. ^_^) * Lurika is wearing a heavy overcoat, jeans, a sweater just underneath, and what looks to be two heavy boots, her hair parted into both a tuft of hair up top and a ponytail, blond with red-dyed tips. She has one green eye and one purple one. She's also short and has a bandage on her nose. (Taki's shorter than Katie. And shorter than SHINGO.) (... I think she's STILL shorter than Isaac.) (And this has *never* been brought up?) (I think that's it, couldn't remember the color of her mismatched eye :P) (Green and purple, yup.) (Zankyu ^_^;) * Claire is about as tall as Irwin, maybe even taller. She's an incredibly beautiful young woman from France, though it's hard to tell - her accent is unnoticable. Her hair, straight and neck-length, is a peculiar silver color, the same color as her eyes. Her clothes consist of an ankle-length black-skirt and a sleeve-less blue jean vest. ( Arcana: We Aren't Very Tall. ) (No actualy...I've mentioned that she was short a few times early on, but after that...) (How tall is Taki?) (We're all Japanese school kids) ( 4 feet is pretty short, but not THAT short, if you go by Japanese standards. ) [It's a nice summer day. Nice and warm without being too humid, and you're in the shade, but those of you who are wearing robes and overcoats and such might be getting a little warm.] ( Okay, slightly shorter than Lurika) (4.5) (Who's 5'1") (Well, considering all Ao-Lang speaks is Chinese, we're probably wavering the whole language thing.) (... I'm 5'11") ( And I'm cuter than Ao. Haw. ) (Ao's Lurika's height. And yes, you are. Congrats. :P) ( ^_^_v ) (Do you want a cookie? :P) [You hear laughter and music and conversations down the path. Y'all *might* wanna go check that out.] ( Yes. ) [And everybody make a Mind roll!] * Kyle notices that Claire is hawt, and promptly starts trying not to look at her. ( Hey guys, the GM is telling us to do stuff. ) * Taki looks up into the forrest of tall people. (Though I think Claire may be prettier. Ao'd be cuter, if she ever actually managed to look innocent. Ao's got the age thing on her. ^^) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6) and gets 6. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 5. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Claire (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ao-Lang (2d6) and gets 9. * Irwin gets up off his butt. Again. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Irwin (2d6) and gets 7. ( failure! ) (Victoly!) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lurika (2d6) and gets 10. (Made it) (Haha...no way! ^^;) ( Claire could look cuter if she felt like it :P ) Hey, here's an idea; let's go ask whoever's makin' that noise where we are. They may even know the answer. (No, Claire looks Hawt.) (Ao-Lang looks hawt/cute.) * Lurika takes her hand off her nose and rubs her ears. "Noise? Oh, Lurika's not the only one who hears it! Yay!" (Or at least to Ryo. :P) Sounds like a good idea to me. * Lurika gets up and thrusts her fist into the air in triumph! [Claire, Irwin, and Taki all realize that all these people are from some pretty diverse places, yet they're not having any trouble understanding them. Go figure. ^_~] ( Claire can do cute. Trust me. ) * Irwin comes from a place where everyone speaks the same language, so if that wasn't the case, he'd be weirded out. (Taki's a little cute...but not as cute as she is short.) * Ao-Lang looks around again, then shrugs and starts walking down the path to the noises. * Kyle heads noiseward, too. I'm Ao-Lang Shen, by the way. Since I'm probably stuck with you. * Kyle is a man of action. Yes sir. * Taki walks with the people. * Irwin brushes himself off and starts walking to the music. "Um... Hi?" Right. Kyle Edens, everybody. Nicetameetcha. (Kyle is very much not Satoshi. I'm glad we've established this. ^_~) * Ao-Lang glances back at Irwin. "Afternoon, Dress Man." Taki Shimiru, Knigh...er just Taki. * Taki sweatdrops. ( *idly wonders what would happen if he threw Chibi-Ethan into this* =P ) (I'd kill him.) (You will die a most painful death, Jesse. ^^) * Irwin takes the insult in stride. "I'm Irwin. Nice to meet, um... you." (Sny...Sny would happen) * Lurika sidles up to Irwin and tugs at the dress. "Ooo, neat. It's sooooft...can you make me one, pleaaaase?" * Claire heads along. "Claire Cardinaux." * Lurika hops up, full of energy. "Please please, pretty please. Present for Lurika!" * Ao-Lang grins at Claire. "Claire, huh? Like the outfit." * Irwin looks *down* at the girl and blushes slightly. "I'm not really a tailor..." Thanks. ( ChibiEthan and Lurika might get along. =P ) But, you wear a dress. Doesn't that mean you can knit? ( Claire has fashion sense ^_- ) ( Jesse, bring Lazar in ) Um... No? And it is not a dress. It is a robe. * Lurika gets teary and sniffs twice. "But..." Maybe there's somebody up where all the noise is coming from who can make you one! Robe, dress, it's all a name. Same thing. Ooo! [And so, our motely crew reaches the end of the pathway. In front of them is... a festival of sorts, it seems, set in the middle of the woods. There are pathways to the left and right, lined with stands that seem to be selling all sorts of things... food seems to be predominant in this area. There are lots of people wandering around, too... (more)] * Irwin tries to pull the robe away from Lurika's grip. ( Let's go fight Gato. ) ( o/` ) * Lurika looks down the path and her boots snap out, wheels popping out of little unnoticed grooves at the bottom, turning them back into skates. She zooms off REALLY fast. (Let's Not!) (...) ( Still holding Irwin's robe? Oh my... ) (My name is Gato... I have metal joints... Beat me up, and earn 15 silver points! o/~) * Taki blinks..."I know someone who would build a pair of thoes if she ever got the idea..." * Ao-Lang watches Lurika go, but doesn't seem to particularly care. She continues on her leisurely pace. [Some of them are dressed in the fashion that everyone but Irwin would be used to. Jeans, t-shirts, shorts, sneakers, etc. Normal-looking people. But others look like they've stepped right out of some strange fantasy novel. Women in full European court dresses! Men in tights! And... the occasional woman in something very tight and low-cut. Not exactly going for period accuracy, here.] [Lurika trips over a root! Thus causing her to wait until the rest of the group catches up.] (Did all that go through?) (Yes! Good job. :P) ( Yeah ) * Kyle tries to avoid looking at the women in very tight and low-cut things. He may even succeed. (Woot!) * Lurika goes flying and lands nose-first. Again. * Irwin doesn't try to avoid looking at all... ( My skirt and vest are kinda tight and low-cut... ) * Taki runs up to offer Lurika a hand again. * Irwin doesn't exactly try to look at them either, though. * Lurika just lies there for a while. * Kyle walks up to one of the vendors, preferably one that doesn't have a line. "Uhm, 'scuze me." * Taki kneals next to Lurika, "You might want to stick to using thoes on paved streets." * Lurika sits up. "Awww, what fun is that?" You don't get hurt like that. [Kyle walks up to a place that sells jewelry. The girl sitting behind the counter has impossibly bright red hair and blue-grin eyes. She looks up at Kyle, waves, and grins madly. "Hi there! What can I do for you?"] * Ao-Lang looks at the people. "A fair? European, maybe around the sixteen hundreds... huh." You get to go fast longer between falling over? (blue-green, even) Lurika's not hurt. Lurika's Aaaaaaaaaaa-okay! ( Oh, no, it's Red! ) * Lurika rolls her head around while she's making the "A' sound. If you says so. * Kyle grins nervously. "Well, it'd be great if you could tell me where I am. Just pretend I don't know. " Lurika's whacked is what she is. * Taki stands and dusts off her legs. Yes! * Lurika gives Ao-Lang the V sign. (The person behind the counter is Chie. ^^) [Said girl is wearing "normal" clothes: a black tank top and black jeans. She blinks at Kyle. "Well, right now you're at the borderline between Artisan's Row and the Queen's Grove."] Europe? I've never heard of any country called 'Europe' before. Yeah, because it's a continent, genius. * Taki blinks at Irwin. * Ao-Lang walks over to the stall and looks the girl over. "Like the hair." Continent? Isn't there only one continent? Okay. Sounds great. Could you be, er, more general? There are seven...at least where I come from. Sorry if asking this is creepin' ya out, I've just had a really weird day, see. Makes two of us. Europe. Countries like Germany, Italy, and France are there...there's some others too but they're not important. Well France isn't really either. Except for Gaboux. [The girl grins at Ao-Lang. "Hey, thanks! Love your outfit." Then she looks back at Kyle. "This's the RenFest, of course. Don't the people in weird costumes give it away?" She winks.] ...Well that makes three people who seem to be from the same place I am.... * Claire eyes Lurika. "I'd argue against that." * Irwin scratches his head. "Never heard of any of that." But Germany and Japan rule the wooorld! Not quite. And I think I could call that young lady clinically insane. ( ... Lurika's from a world where the Nazis won WWII? o_O ) (... Good game idea!) (...no, not quite ^^;) ["If you need a map or somethin', there's an info booth over there." She points to the right pathway.] * Kyle blinks. "Oh, is that all?" He grins. "Best news I've had yet. I was startin' ta think... but nevermind. He looks over what the girl's selling, so as not to be rude. [The stand sells mostly silver jewelry... rings, necklaces, bracelets... all very well-made and reasonably priced! There's a couple of business cards, too, in case you'd like to get her to make something for you later.] * Ao-Lang does, too, and it's not long before something catches her eye. She picks up a silver and copper necklace and looks it over. "Oh, nice! Sterling?" * Lurika pops up and looks over all the shiny things. "Ooo, how pretty!" [The girl nods at Ao-Lang. "Yep!"] * Ao-Lang grins. "How much? And what currency? I'm from out of town." * Claire looks around at some of the other stuff around here. Hm. You got anything for girls who like to hurt people? * Taki tries to look between Lurika and Ao-Lange, and sighs, "It's days like this that make me wish I had money." * Lurika peeks around Ao-Lang and peeks over her shoulder at the necklace she's got. ( We use potatoes for currency. ) * Irwin looks around and scratches his head. "I still can't place where we are. And why everyone's dressed so funnily." [The girl names a reasonable price. Weirdly enough, it seems to be in Ao-Lang's currency. How 'bout that?] (That'd be Yuen.) ( That'd be number of fights won ) (Or is it Yeun...) * Lurika speaks off-hand in German. <"Gee, fancy that."> * Ao-Lang is holding a necklace of intwined copper and silver. She puts it on the counter as she counts out the cash (yuan). "I was afraid it'd be too much. The yuan's always been low in value." She puts it on the table for the girl and palms one of the cards, glancing at it before she slips it in her pocket. ( "Lurika speaks German!" "Nobody who speaks German could be evil!" "PAROLE APPROVED!" ) [Claire sees a number of stands selling food, books, and other crafts. The GM will give more description in a minute.] ( Just use some of those sumbraro-shaped gold things. ) ( The Chinese had the coolest currency ever! ) (Gold Peso's!) * Taki sighs and gives up on the shinies. [The girl smiles at Ao-Lang. "Thanks!"] * Taki wanders twords the book sellers, looking for an atlas...or maybe just a good cookbook. * Irwin glances over and notices Taki's plight. "Do you need to buy something?" * Ao-Lang gives her a thumbs up. "Have a good day. Don't let customers give you any shit." She puts on the necklace and walks out for one of those maps. [The girl grins. "I never do. Later!'] * Lurika is still sticking around Ao-Lang, peeking to get a better look at the necklace. * Taki stops walking and turns to Irwin, "No, no. Don't worry about it, realy." [The girl turns back to Kyle. "Girls who like to hurt people? In what way?"] * Irwin shys away and starts looking at the manuscripts. Physically. Like, beats them up. ["I don't sell weaponry, but you could probably find replicas around here. Try Greenfield Path. It's that way." She points to the right.] * Kyle nods. "Alright, thanks." * Ao-Lang eyes Lurika. "Hey. Stop that." * Taki finishes walking to the bookstore. * Kyle walks off, but doesn't consider actually getting a sword. Everyone he knows who needs one has one. * Lurika peeks over Ao-Lang's left shoulder, still not noticing her. "Stop what?" (Sometimes more than one.) Looking over my shoulder. [The girs waves at Kyle. "No prob."] [A young man steps out from behind the counter at the bookseller's stand. He has long blond hair in a ponytail, light blue- grey eyes, and glasses. He looks Irwin in the eyes. "Can I help you?"] * Lurika stops and points at her face. "Who me?" (Okay. Being a GM apparently grants a +2 penalty to typing skills. ;p) ( Sorry. Had to afk ) * Taki turns to the bookseller, "Yes please, I'm looking for an atlas, would you happen to have one?" What, you see anyone else looking over my shoulder? Yes, you! * Ao-Lang grabs one of the maps and looks it over. ["What kind of atlas?"] * Irwin scratches his head as he fumbles the book he was looking at. "Yeah. Do you know where any maps would be?" I just want to see it. Isn't it cupric sulfate? * Kyle just wanders and looks at people, since he likes both forests and renfests. Yeah. And silver. [Ao-Lang grabs a map of Europe in the 15th century.] http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/07/11/offbeat.hiphop.condom/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/07/11/offbeat.hiphop.condom/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/07/11/offbeat.hiphop.condom/index.html * Lurika taps her chin. "Hmm...I wonder if Lurika melts it down.." (Sorry dropped keyboard ^ ^) (...) (Ah, okay.( ( XD ) (And suddenly, a tree branch drops on Taki's head!) (x.x) (* Satoshi glares at the GM, but the GM don't care. ;p) * Lurika hums with her arms behind her back, skating circles around Ao- Lang. You're not meltin' down my necklace. No? * Ao-Lang looks over the map and sighs. "Great." * Ao-Lang eyes Lurika. "No." Not even a little bit? ["What kind of maps and atlases are you looking for? These are mostly historical."] Not unless you want to never walk again. Something just after the war. Lurika doesn't walk! Lurika zooms! * Lurika demonstrates by zooming. About... 18 or so years ago. [Lurika trips and falls flat on her face!] You'd never zoom again, either. Or fall on your face. * Lurika smacks. Owwie. [The young man looks puzzled. "Why on earth would you want to look for a map of eighteen years ago at a Renaissance Festival? Try the library instead."] ( Lurika needs to update the quote sheet. ) * Ao-Lang looks the map over again, then looks around for a map of the festival. * Taki nods and smiles, "hmm, I'd like one that'd be good for holding down a table." * Lurika sits on her knees and gives the ground the evil eye. She turns red from glaring at it. [Claire, in the meantime, has ended up in the middle of the food section. Is she hungry?] * Irwin smiles. "Where's the library?" (Yes yes, and Ao-Lang needs to send me the last session ;P) * Claire is a little hungry. What do they have here? * Kyle wanders to the food section, hoping they have Ye Olde Cola, or something. (You're more behind than that, but yes, I do.) (Midieval Pepsi!) [The young man looks offended at Taki's statement. "Books are *not* for just holding down tables! They're meant to be read and enjoyed and treated well!" He hmphs, then turns to Irwin. "Ohh... hmm... from here, probably about three miles down the road."] (From Midieval Times.) ( Pepsi takes pride in it's 1000 year old Pepsi tradition. ) [There's all sorts of food here. Whole turkey legs, turkey sandwiches, steak on a stake, fries, soft drinks, chicken, bread, pastries... lots of drinks, too. Sodas, and probably something alcoholic, too.] Of course, if I wanted a book for just that I wouldn't have come all the way here to get it would I? Let me try that again. I'd like one that's large and well illustrated. * Lurika sniffs and eyes the food. She skates over that way, since Ao's being a meanie. Three miles... And me without my horse. * Ao-Lang smirks once Lurika leaves. * Kyle opts for, uhm, water. And the largest cooked animal leg he can get. :9 * Claire looks for something that will be quick and not very expensive without being as low-quality as McDonalds. Or even Pizza Hut. * Irwin looks around, then goes to where to foodage is! * Ao-Lang spots the info booth and walks over to it. [Kyle gets water and a really huge turkey leg! And his money works. Yay him. ^_^] Ack! My group is leaving without me! I'm sorry. I'll be back in a bit....probibly...I hope. * Lurika looks over the food and points. "I'll have that and that and that and oh, that too, and that..." * Irwin surveys the booth, then orders something alcoholic and something meaty. Preferrably beef. [Claire sees a booth selling chicken and rice, which looks fast, nutritious, and maybe even tasty!] * Taki runs out of the stall and twords the food. (Or Buffalo, if it's there.) [The bookseller rolls his eyes after he loses his audience. Poor him.] * Claire goes over there, then. As she does, she idly looks around for a medieval Super-Nintendo, or somthing. * Lurika walks over to the cashier with all kinds of meat in her arms. She's probably getting all greasy too. ( And that was my only part in this OST too.) ( The meat tries to eat her! Yay! ) * Kyle grins, polishes off the turkey leg in little time without eating like a slob (it's an art) and resumes walking around, taking in the sights. Wonder if there's any swordsmanship challenge. [Ao-Lang reaches the info booth! There are maps and papers and a guy with messy brown hair and a really big smile, which he turns to Ao-Lang with. "Can I help you?" ^_^] (Wah! ) * Ao-Lang grins right back. "Yeah. I'm looking for a map of this place. Got one?" (Oh wait, I haven't met him yet ^_^;) ["Absolutely." ^_^ He hands Ao-Lang a map.] (He scares Lurika! Yay!) ( The map is a blank sheet of paper with a dot in the center and the words: "You are here" ) (But does he *ting* ?) [Claire spots a sign that reads: "Gaming ->"] * Ao-Lang takes it and taps it against the counter, opening it. She eyes the paper. "... You call this a map?" * Lurika puts a turkey leg in her mouth and digs through her overcoat. * Claire finishes her food quickly and hurriedly goes that way! [Irwin find the steak on a stake booth, and a place that sells beer and mead nearby.] Muh-hii, muh-hii, eh ah oo muh-hii? [The info booth guy smiles at Ao-Lang. "What seems to be the problem with it?"] ( It's 'cause they're vampire steaks. ) [Lurika gets a random unimportant NPC cashier, who points to the sign with the prices.] * Taki grabs a sandwich and a drink that's probibly doensn't have any alcohol in it and looks around for somebody to pay. What do you think's the problem? There's no map! * Irwin gets some steak on a steak and some beer while he's at it. He blinks as he looks around for who he's supposed to pay... ["Oh dear. Was there a problem with the printer, I wonder." He's still smiling. "Let's try this one." He hands Ao-Lang a map of the fair. A *real* map, this time.] * Lurika holds up some marks and yen up in her hand and sets them down on the counter with a big turkey-legged grin. Yeah. Very funny. Do you want this one back? [The random unimportant NPC cashier takes Lurika's money.] ( MeatGuy? ) [Info Guy continues to smile. "If you really don't want it."] * Irwin finds the cashier person and tries to pay them in his own currency. * Ao-Lang smirks. "I think I'll keep it, then." She folds it back up and tucks it away before checking the real map over. [MeatandBeer guy takes Irwin's currency. He does not comment.] * Claire looks for games. * Kyle idly wanders to the nearest seller of sharp pointy things. * Lurika looks at the food. She eats said food. * Taki continues to look for the npc who sells sandwiches. * Irwin walks back to a table and starts to devour the food. Seems he's having no problem adjusting. * Lurika talks to a random NPC with her mouth full. "Whaf 'err 'oo do for fun here?" * Lurika chews then swallows. ( Play Kirby. No, really! ) [Claire finds games! Sadly, they're not video games. There's a dart-throwing booth, and around the corner is a climbing tower! A fake castle with a bunch of handholds, like those indoor rock-climbing things.] * Claire looks around, disappointment evident on her face. (I must needs pause for a few minutes. I'll be right back. Mingle if you wish, just don't expect any NPCs until I get back.) ( Who in their right mind would want to play non-videogames? ) (Who said these people were in their right minds? ^_~) (This is, technically, a non-videogame ^_~) (We're at a RenFare!_ *** Capfox has quit IRC (Quit: Kyou wa boku no tanjoubi na no de, nagaku wa irarenai n desu ga... ) * Lurika chews on the leg thoughtfully, and swallows before talking this time, to anyone else who decided to eat. "So why would Lurika dream about this? And why are you all in it?" * Irwin pulls out a book and starts reading it over. * Taki continues to wander the stall and is concidering just eating her sandwich. [J. Random NPC looks at Lurika. "Sigh... times are tough."] * Lurika points the turkey leg at the NPC in a threatening manner. "You, I didn't ask!" * Claire heads on back to where most of the others are, having been disappointed. * Irwin makes it a point to ignore the conversation between the bum and the psycho. [The NPC does not seem threatened.] * Ao-Lang looks over the map, making a noncommital mmming sound. Then she visibly brightens and points out the arena. "Hey, what goes on here?" [Fortune smiles upon thee, Kyle, for thou hast found the sharp pointy things! They're all replicas, though. Not real ones.] * Lurika whips around her turkey leg and points it at Irwin. Then thinks better of it, then points to Taki. "You then!" [InfoGuy: "That? That's the tournament arena. There's mostly jousting and swordfighting." ^^] I don't think we're dreaming this. * Kyle is lucky he wasn't looking for a real sword. But, are there any really badass-looking ones? Daggers with large useless spikes and jags, maybe? And have you seen somebody I can pay for this sandwich? If we were, my food wouldn't be cold. * Kyle perks up as he hears the word 'swordfighting'. * Lurika points to where she paid for hers. [If the cook had heard Kyle, he would have been insulted. Thankfully, he didn't.] This is awfully boring. Can't find a Nintendo anywhere. * Taki finaly notices the nameless NPC, "Ahh thanks." Or even an Atari. So..no dreaming. Then who brought us here? Lurika doesn't remember being put on a mission out this far. [Yes, there's one ungodly huge sword with useless spikes and runes and other scary things.] * Kyle grins. "Right outta some corny movie." ( The runes are written in an ancient forgotten language, and contain washing instructions. ) And it is boring. Boring boring. * Ao-Lang thinks that over. "Jousting and swordfighting? Is this a closed invitation?" [Claire rejoins the rest of the group, where she finds Kyle looking at sharp pointy things, Ao-Lang getting info, Lurika brandishing a turkey leg at Taki, and Irwin complaining about the food.] [InfoGuy: "Hmmm... well, they do have some audience participation."] * Lurika shrugs and throws the turkey leg over her shoulder into the trashcan, fetching another from her stash. * Taki makes her way over to him/her/it/whatever and finaly pays for her sandwich and drink...it's mostly in coins. (Awareness roll, Taki.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 8. * Kyle walks over to the InfoGuy, drawn by the magic words. "What's this I hear about swordfighting?" (That's a no...) * Irwin finishes his STEAK on a STEAK and throws the STEAK away. (If we run into a vampire now...) * Ao-Lang smirks. "Sounds fun." She looks the map over again, then folds it and tucks that one away, too. (She doesn't notice that it's a chicken sandwich and the chef was Jin.) (*snikers*) [The InfoGuy smiles at Kyle. "Swordfighting at the jousting arena."] (Jin wouldn't give up a chikin sandwich.) * Ao-Lang turns her attention to the others. (Would Taki like to use her DR?) ( He wouldn't ask her to pay for it :P ) Open invitation? (And Irwin is attacked by a vampire. Pity him.) (Yes he would. and no, I think I'll have fun with the drunken Taki) (:P) Hey, I'm goin' to the arena. Should be interesting. Anyone want to come with? Except Third Person girl. She'd probably kill herself on the way. ( "Can I get one chicken sandwich?" "... I'm not sure." ) Sounds good to me. * Lurika turns around at Ao-Lang and smiles. "You think so?" ["My, you're certainly eager. Yes, they do have audience participation. It should start in about fifteen minutes."] Yes. Keen. (Taki does not see anything unusual.) * Kyle heads that way. XD (err, that should've been in real brackets. Anyhow.) * Ao-Lang grins at Lurika. "I hope so." She walks to the arena. * Irwin finishes with his beer too! And heads over in the direction of the arena while reading his book. Unfortunately the rock in front of him says he has to trip, so he does. * Taki takes her sandwich and drink, "I'll cheer you guys on." * Claire shrugs and heads that way. "Well, I can pretend it's a fighting game or something..." Ow! * Claire trips over Irwin. * Lurika grins slightly. and flicks back her wrist. "We'll see..." She skates, slower this time, towards the arena. ... * Irwin picks himself up off the ground and starts walking again. This time without reading the book. Yes, he is wearing other clothing under that robe. ( Another robe :P ) * Taki walks around the pile of people. * Lurika skates around the pile of people, humming. [On the way, the group passes a dunking booth. Some poor guy is getting drenched repeatedly by a guy with a blond ponytail, dressed in Chinese clothes. Taki does not see this. Poor girl.] (Heheheh) * Claire pulls herself up and heads to the arena. She pauses to watch and snickers a few times. "Poor sucker." Then continues. * Lurika stops at the booth. "Ooo..." * Taki ignors the dunking booth, people fighting with swords and not killing eachother. (Claire, awareness roll, please.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Claire (2d6) and gets 10. * Lurika goes a little closer to the booth and puts up money. "Lurika wants to try!" [As she walks along, Claire hears a little boy complaining. "...this is so stupid. All these people stuck in the past. Nobody wants to play the new Kirby game with me!"] * Ao-Lang glances at the guys and snickers. * Claire pauses, ears twitching, then subtly makes her way over. "Kirby? Where?" [The guy throwing balls at the dunking booth looks at Lurika. "You do?"] Yes yes! Can Lurika try! * Irwin walks idly past the strange man getting dunked. [The little boy holds up a GBAEXPQYZ. "Right here. You wanna play, lady?"] ( Lurika gets dunked :P ) [The person throwing the balls looks at Lurika. "...I'm not sure."] * Claire controls herself enough to not snatch it out of her hands. "Sure. Let's play." * Lurika looks at the target, then points. "You throw stuff there, right?" [The kid beams. "Cool! Let's go where there's a bit more light so we can see better! Like by the arena!"] * Claire grins. "Okay." * Taki continues on her way to the arena, and if she's allso running the dunking booth this will get confusilatin'. [Taki's extra-dimensional counterpart is *not* running the dunking booth! But the guy climbing out from the water (finally!) does happen to have chin-length black hair and a missing tooth. And is now soaking wet. He glares at the ball-throwing guy. "Haven't you had enough for today?"] (Is regretting not taking that DR now...ah well, such is life) [BallGuy: "...I'm not sure."] [The unimportant NPC manning the dunking booth now notices Lurika, and takes her money.] (Arena people, I *will* get to you, I promise. In the meantime, you can talk to each other if you want. ^_~) * Lurika looks at the target. "So just throw?" [The blond guy finally hands Lurika the balls. "I wonder where the chicken booth is..." He wanders off.] * Lurika looks at the balls and blinks for a second, and promptly drops them, flicking up her wrist and having three blades slide out of the sleeve and into her hand. She sticks her tongue out the side of her mouth and concentrates on aiming. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lurika (2d6-5) and gets -1. (Satoshi go spash!) [The guy in the booth's eyes widen. "Hey, that's not-" He gets cut off as the first blade hits the target, and he falls in the water, sputtering.] * Lurika jumps and claps. "Yay, I did it!" * Ao-Lang seems so intent on ignoring Lurika that she doesn't notice. To the arena! [The guy climbs back up. "Isn't that against the rules or something?" Unimportant Booth NPC shakes her head.] 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lurika (2d6-5) and gets 3. * Irwin keeps walking, ignoring the psycho with the knives. ( It's Taki with a different color pallet. ) * Kyle keeps headed to the arena. A-yup. [And he's down in the water again!] * Claire is heading that way too, mostly by coincidence. * Taki doesn't notice her !self and continues on to the Areana. Wee! 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lurika (2d6-5) and gets 4. [The little boy skips along next to Claire, humming the Kirby theme. "Hey, lady, do you know the words? You can sing along too!"] * Claire blinks. "There's words?" ( The little boy scares me. ) [Poor, poor, poor dunking booth guy. No sooner does he get out of the water and up on the seat, then he's down again.] Vee! Did you see? Did you se...hey! * Lurika notices everyone else already left and skates off towards the arena. Zoom. ["Uh-huh! Well, 'kay, I usually make 'em up as I go along. But it's fun!"] * Ao-Lang glances around out of boredom. Then she realizes she's walking next to Kyle. "Hey." (So it's just like when Jin was doing it...execpt then they didn't have to stop and dig the knives out of the target) * Claire considers. "Hmmm..." Then makes up some lyrics. [The dunking booth guy blinks at the knives. "...scary girl."] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Claire (2d6-2) and gets 5. * Claire makes up pretty good lyrics, too! (Claire knows what the roll is going to be before the GM even asks! ^_~) ( I didn't think you were going to ask ^^; ) (But then again, the GM asks for that sort of roll because she's familiar with *her* GM asking for it in various games. ;p) (hee) Eh? Oh, hey. How you likin' the fair? It sucks and I want to go home. But what I was actually curious about was... Whether there were dragons with big pointy teeth here! * Ao-Lang sidles over to Kyle and smiles up at him. "You wouldn't have a girlfriend, wouldja?" ( Run, Kyle! RUN NOW! ) (RUN RUN RUN!) * Lurika skates past the happy couple in a rush to get a good seat. (Don't run! I wanna watch! :P) * Taki continues to walk somewhere behind the gamers. (Be glad I didn't bring Millie into the fray. Millie + Ao- Lang = horror.) ( Be glad I didn't bring in Thog. =P ) Ur, hm. (oddest person I could have brought....Nora!) ( I coulda brought Saki... ) * Kyle looks contemplative. "Uh... that's... that's a pretty tricky question, actually." (Awareness roll, Irwin!) (If you did, I would have brought Eric and the fair would be *out* of food.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Irwin (2d6) and gets 5. (Victoly!) Yeah? Usually it's got a yes or no answer. I don't *think* I do. I have a friend who's a girl, and I have this demon who's way too fond of me for my liking, but I dunno if that qualifies. [An adorable little girl just happens to bump into Irwin at that second.] * Irwin amazingly doesn't fall over. But he does check his belongings (espically his wallet) after the collision. * Ao-Lang raises an eyebrow. "A demon, huh. I know one of those. He's actually really cute. Lacks a sense of humor, but what're you gonna do." She snaps her fingers. "So, you don't have one?" [She smiles up at him winningly, then dashes off. Irwin finds that he's missing his wallet!] Hey! Thief! * Irwin runs after the girl and starts chanting... Who? What? Where? * Irwin points at said girl. * Lurika looks around Irwin, then looks where he's looking, then skates after her! [She runs!] Where? ::runs in the direction that Irwin is pointing:: * Claire ... uh... uh... Where is Claire? (Engrossed in Kirby) (Yeah. Where else?) (Claire is walking along in the direction of the arena, with the boy who has Kirby.) ( Close enough to hear? ) [The girl is also running towards the arena. She turns back for a second and blinks at Irwin. Give me ranged defense, Irwin.] (Yes, you're close enough to hear him cry thief.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Irwin (2d6-2) and gets 5. (Made it.) Uhm, guess not. Don't tell them that, tho. (Claire, give me awareness.) 'Specially not the demon. (Should those after the girl roll init or is this not going to be official combat?) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Claire (2d6) and gets 4. ( Got it ) (Not official combat.) (Yet.) What, both of them? That's- * Claire scowls. Of all the times... * Ao-Lang blinks as the girl runs past. "O-kay." Get back here! The currents are against you! * Lurika reaches in her overcoat and pulls out a small grey device, chucking it at the girl as she skates. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Claire (2d6-2) and gets 4. Eh? ...huh. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lurika (2d6-4) and gets 3. ...I don't think I wanna get involved in this. Whatever it is. Well, unless it gets serious. [Lurika *would* have hit the girl, but instead, finds herself harmlessly missing as the girl is suddenly lifted five feet into the air. Well, harmless is probably the wrong word for it, as there's a noticeable explosion.] And yeah, both of 'em. Well, the demon more than the other girl. * Claire winces at the explosion. She turns to the boy. "Excuse me a second." Then she makes her way, casually, towards the thief. * Ao-Lang stares at the explosion. "Oh shit." She whirls to face Lurika. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" * Taki yipes and is suddenly a few feet to one side of where she was a second ago, "Don't do thing like that!" * Lurika yelps and pouts. "It's just a stun bomb! That's all!" It blew up! * Kyle blinks. "Stun bomb? Aren't those mutually exclusive?" Exploded! That's no freaking stun bomb! * Irwin keeps running thru the sound of the explosion, as if he's seen a million before. He looks around for a mage of some sort who's keeping the girl levitated. [When the dust clears, there's a few people lying on the ground, and a *heck* of a lot of curious faces turned in your direction. Luckily(?), they're concentrating on the explosion, not the floating girl.] Yeah, but..but... No throwing bombs into crowdes, didn't anybody ever teach you that? Why won't you believe me?? You think you can go around, throwing knives and explosives? Where the fuck did *you* come from? Dunno. Japan? [The floating girl, meanwhile, looks very unhappy. "Meanie! Put me down! Put me down right now!] * Claire finally approaches the girl and puts her hands on her hips. "Give back whatever you stole." ... [She pouts. "Don't wanna."] Crap. It *is* gonna be one of those days. * Ao-Lang glares at Lurika. "Very. Funny." * Irwin eyes the girl. "Don't make me hurt you." Really? I can keep you there all night, you know. I don't think you came from my Japan. [She turns to Irwin. "You weren't supposed to notice anyway. Stupid-head!"] * Lurika looks up at the girl. "Um..she's flying." Reah. But she's not throwing bombs. * Kyle looks at the people on the ground. "Even stun bombs." * Lurika pouts. "What's wrong with THAT?" Uhm...everything? * Irwin mutters a few words. "Freeze!" He shouts as he has his right hand outstretched at the girl's feet. *** JesseLman is now known as Fozzy_Jesse People might object to suddenly being knocked out? *** Fozzy_Jesse is now known as JesseLman 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Irwin (2d6-3) and gets 4. People object to someone taking their wallet too. The two cancel out, don't they? [Suddenly, the girl's feet are frozen together! "Wah!"] * Kyle points. "Like those people that you knocked out? And no, they do not. There's more people unconcious than robbed." * Taki points at one of the people on the ground, "And what did he do?" Are you going to give it back? I don't suppose you have a wake-the-hell-up bomb? Um... Give me back my wallet now, or your head may be next. Oops. Yeah, oops. Do that again and you'll get a new breathing hole, in your throat. Got it? [The girl hangs her head. "'kay. Lemme down and I'll give it back. Meanies."] Mmm... No. Give it back first. * Lurika pouts. "I didn't mean to. Honest." * Ao-Lang turns and walks off, grumbling. "Enough psychopaths at school." She eyes the scene with Claire and Irwin, but keeps walking. ["No! Lemme down!"] ...How can you not mean to throw a bomb at somebody? * Claire looks the girl in the eyes. "Fine, we'll do it the hard way." The thief turns upside down in mid air and starts shaking until (presumably) the wallet falls out. * Kyle rubs his face, and heads towards the arena. Gonna swordfight. Gonna forget aaaaaall about this. ["WaAHahAHahAHHH!" The wallet falls out. Yay!] * Lurika takes out a small metal disk with a red top and four metal legs sticking out of it, then looks at Taki. "Um...you really wanna know?" * Claire stops shaking her, but doesn't let her down just yet. She looks over at Irwin. "There." * Irwin picks up the wallet and checks to make sure it still contains the money he had in it. [The money is there.] I think so. Let me check... Yeah. That's it. Ok. Not realy, it's just...I think most people would intentionaly throw a bomb. [Me lets her down, and slowly, 'cause she's being nice.] ( Uhhhh.... ) * Claire lets her down, and slowly, 'cause she's being nice. (That just makes my head hurt.) [The girl lands, and pouts, 'cause her feet are frozen.] The ice should melt soon enough. Don't try something like that again. ( The top ten signs that you've been GMing too much... ) * Lurika opens up her coat and sets it back with the other explosives. Which her open coat is full of. She closes it back up. "Okay. * Irwin starts walking away, and just when you think he'd be cool for once, he trips and falls straignt on his face. * Claire heads back over to the kid with the Kirby. ["Okayyyyy..." She sits. Poor frozen girl. She glares at Claire. "Not nice to use TK that way."] * Taki makes a mental note to not stand anywhere near this girl in a fight. * Claire calls back over her shoulder. "Well maybe next time you'll think about that before trying to rob somebody." [Meanwhile, the stunned people are waking up. Yay. And Kyle and Ao-Lang have finally reached the arena, which will be desc'ed in a second.] * Irwin gets his sorry ass off the floor and heads for the arena. Place where stuff happens! * Lurika 's skates snap back into her boots and she goes on to walking as if nothing happened. [The kid with the Kirby looks at Claire, wide-eyed. "That was soooooo cool! Are you a superhero or something?"] ( Not an arena, actually a marina. ) * Claire chuckles. "Me? A superhero? Nah, that'd never happen." ( o/` ) [The arena! Yay! It's rectangular, the two long sides and one of the short ones surrounded by bleachers. At the end of the fourth side is a building, with gates to let people, and horses, and people riding horses, through. [The "floor" of the arena is dirt, and there's a low fence surrounding it on all sides.] * Kyle looks around for someone who looks like an official in charge of the arena. [Right now, there's an archery competition finishing up. Some guy with spiky blue hair is kicking everyone else's butt. But he's lame, so we don't care about him. ;p] (/me whistles.) ( Damn right. Give us the girl with the 'coon. ) * Lurika doesn't care about the blue-haired guy because the GM said so. Instead, she looks for a seat! [Kyle finds a guy standing by the gated side of the arena.] * Kyle heads for the gate! (The girl with the coon won last year.) * Ao-Lang walks after Kyle. Nothing better to do. * Taki briefly notices the lame guy because he's got loud hair too, and takes a seet near enough to Lurika that she can grab her haul her away if need be. (Taki has a death wish. o/~) (How long did it take you to figure that one out? :P) [The Kirby boy leads Claire to a seat near Lurika and Taki.] ( Aw man... ) ( I don't wanna sit by the crazy psycho ;_; ) (;_;) * Irwin ignores the blue haired lame guy. He follows and grabs a seat to the arena near the entrance of one of the competators. (You have a choice. You can sit by the psycho and play Kirby, or you can sit somewhere else and not play.) (Yes, I am a cruel GM. ;p) * Claire sits down, more interested in playing Kirby than watching the arena * Taki finaly gets around to eating her sandwich. ( I'll get you for this :P ) (YOU'RE a cruel GM? Remember who invented Lurika ^_~) * Irwin is NOT sitting next to the bombastic psycho. [The archery competition finishes. Blue-hair wins. He accepts his prize without even victoryposing, and some girl in the crowd yells, "Your moves are lame!"] [The arena workers begin clearing things out for the next competition. Meanwhile, the gate guy looks at Kyle (and possibly Ao- Lang). "Can I help you?"] (Woot! Go Rei!) (You know it's Rei!) Yeah. Can we enter the tourney? *** Lurika has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) *** Lurika has joined #oneshot (re) [The gate guy looks surprised. "Well, we don't usually get many outsiders here. What's your style?"] ( Actually, it's Lazar. He's been using those Hooked on Phonics tapes. ) (Lazar is a girl? This is news to me :P) The, uh... (It's the "other white psycho (TM)") ( He accidently got transferred into the body of a female golem. ) ( ... Hey! ) * Kyle looks thoughtful. "School of the Cleav'd Daemon. It's an obscure form of fencing. From around the 1300s or so." * Lurika points out to the arena. "What are they doing?" ( ... don't you dare, Brett. Or I promise I'll make so many "Wow! Me have boobs what rock!" jokes... ) [The guy makes a note on the clipboard. "Sounds like you'll fit right in. Just fill out these forms here." He hands Kyle a stack of forms.] ( Awww.... ) * Kyle looks the forms over before filling them out. * Ao-Lang waves at the man, trying to get his attention from next to Kyle. When she does, she smiles brightly. "Are exotic weapons allowed?" * Taki eats more sandwich and takes a swig of her drink. [The forms are standard disclaimers: if you get hurt, injured, maimed, lose limbs, etc. we're not responsible."] * Kyle shrugs and fills out. [The guy looks at Ao-Lang and blinks. "Well... there aren't any rules against them, but... are you sure?"] * Ao-Lang smirks. "Sure as ever." She flicks a tessen out of her sleeve - a metal, red and gold war fan. "Take a look at this and tell me if it's tournament legal." But really, if you're using swords and axes, I don't see why the hell it wouldn't be. * Claire spends the tournament playing Kirby. (gettin' tired. Night everyone Oop, reminds me. (Night Brett.) ('night) (Night Brett) ( 'Night, Brett. ) ('night Brett.) [The guy peers at the fans. "Well... uh... never seen those before, but... yeah, makes sense. Just fill out these forms, then. Read 'em carefully.] * Kyle sets the forms aside once he's done. He reaches out to one side and before long there's a sword in his hand. *** Claire has quit IRC (Quit: ) * Ao-Lang snaps it shut and flicks it back into her sleeve. "It'd be stupid not to." She picks up the forms and starts reading, filling them in as appropriate. [Claire and the kid play Kirby. Lots of Kirby! And they split about 50-50.] * Lurika tugs at Taki's clothes and points to the arena. "What are they doing??" (The GM takes a restroom break. Feel free to converse amongst yourselves.) I think they're getting ready to beat eachother up. Beat each other up? Are there any guns or explosions? * Taki shakes her head, "This seems to be a place for people to fight with swords and things...and I don't think they want any more explosions." * Lurika pouts and sits down heavily. "How boring." There's more to life than just blowing things up you know. But I got so much I could show them! * Taki grabs Lurika's wrist, "No." * Lurika pouts again. "Awww..." * Lurika sits down heavily again. * Taki lets go, "Maybe after this we'll go somewhere where you can blow things up...Maybe." (The GM returns.) * Ao-Lang finishes, hands him the forms, and waits for further instruction. * Kyle does likewise. * Lurika doesn't seem to be listening anymore. She looks down with her eyes closed and her brow furrowing as she thinks. [The gate guy takes the forms from Ao-Lang and Kyle, then walks into the building. A minute later, he walks back out. "Okay. Mr. Edens, you're the first fight. Ms. Shen, you're the second. Good luck to both of you."] * Taki eats sandwich. Righto. * Kyle strolls into the arena! [The gate building opens, and the guy indicates that Kyle should go in.] * Lurika looks up and watches Kyle enter and then pops her fist in her palm. "I've got it!" * Ao-Lang smiles cockily. "Won't need it." She glances at Kyle. "Don't lose early on. Your girlfriends won't like to hear it." [Meanwhile, a girl arrives in the announcer's booth! "Hi everybody! Welcome to today's fighting tournament! It's so cool!"] Go! Uhm.... Ah....Kyle! (Chikako's so cool!) (She is!) ( XD ) ["There's lots of cool fights today! First, we have Kyle Edens of the School of the Cleav'd Demon, versus..."] * Kyle turns and blinks at Ao-Lang. "Wait. Girlfriends?" He sounds a little despondant. Hey, you said you had them, not me! Your public's watching. * Lurika stands up suddenly and gives Kyle a v-sign. * Kyle flashes the v back to Lurika, posing cooly without even knowing that he's doing it. Wait, but, er, I didn't... aww, crap. * Taki waves back to Kyle. ["...Lazar Thau of the the Style What Hit Things Until They Go 'Ow' and Fall Down!"] *** JesseLman is now known as Lazar * Taki blinks. * Lazar talks into the arena. He's big. He's stone. He's wearing a loincloth. And he's carrying a Volkswagon Beetle. ( Er, WALKS into the arena. ) (Haw!) (no i-beam?) * Kyle blinks at Lazar. "...wow. This may be tough after all." O.o * Lurika looks in the arena and then at Taki, pointing at the stone guy and the car. "Still no bombs?" Cool! Now, how to get Karasu into one of those things. He's strong...I wonder if Satoshi could do that.... Ahh... Uhm. Right. (You may engage in pre-fight banter if you so wish.) * Kyle waves to The Rock. "Er, hi." * Lurika calls out. "Go Rocky! Go go!" * Lazar waves a Kyle with the Volkswagon. "Hello. I is Lazar. Is pleasure to meet you." Likewise. That real rock? * Lazar nods. "I is golem. Just like person, but no breathe, no eat, and made of stone. No good for sex life, either." * Taki feels sorry for Lazor. *** Disconnected Session Close: Sat Jul 12 02:13:33 2003 Session Start: Sat Jul 12 02:14:03 2003 *** Now talking in #oneshot (She's not. She'll just be not-opped. Welcome back. :P) (A-heh. ^^;) (Wrong button. ^^;) [The crowd is going wild. Many of them are holding up signs that say things like, "Lazar Rocks!"] [The announcer continues. "Fighters, to your places!"] * Kyle gets to his place. Right. * Lurika climbs over a few people and goes to grab a sign from someone, tongue sticking out of the side of her mouth. By the way... do you have sister or father what have massive psychic powers and would be wanting to kill me in many painful ways if I accidentally break you? God, I sure hope not. I have a grandfather who kicks large sums of ass, but he'd take my death pretty philosophically. * Lazar sighs. "Good, good. We start as soon as I do pre-fight ritual." (Great question, Laz.) [ Meanwhile, a cute japanese girl in the stands mutters about how she hates swords. ] (There's an audiance member who'd love to blow you into little bits and then put you back together again but better, faster stronger. :P) (Who says we didn't play MC2 tonight? ^_~) * Lazar lifts the Volkswagon above his head, steps left, steps right, bows to Kyle... and then breaks it over his head. * Lazar shakes his head, tosses the two halves of the Volkswagon aside, and drops into boxing-esque fighting stands. "Now I ready." *grins* ... ["That's so cool! Fighters ready! On your mark! Fight!"] Impressive, young Jedi. * Ao-Lang grins. This'll be good. O.O (Roll init!) d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d6+7) and gets 11. * Lurika still tries to wrestle a sign from one of the people's grips. 2d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6+8) and gets 15. ... d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (d6+8) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lurika (2d6) and gets 8. [Lurika's attempt to wrestle a sign ends in failure!] *** Griever has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) [Lazar's turn!] * Lurika pouts and tries to grab it again. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lurika (2d6) and gets 8. [No sign for Lurika!] * Lazar eyes Kyle for a moment, then charges straight at him. "Now prepare for power of... GOLEM WEDGIE!" * Lurika misses the sign and instead goes tumbling backwards down the stairs to the base of the stands 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 8. * Taki twitches at the title of that attack. I do not like the sound of that. ( Missed. Ah well. =P ) (Wow. Dicey loves you as much in here as he does in MC2. ;p) * Kyle avoids being wedgied! [Lazar charges! And misses! Kyle's turn!] * Kyle is quite thankful that he was not wedgied. ... darn. Keep forgetting people what no weigh half ton faster than golem. It's times like this I wish I had cool attack names to shout. * Kyle slashes at Lazar! With his sword! 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6-6) and gets 2. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 6. ( Nope. ) [Kyle slashes Lazar!] * Taki cheers for Kyle! * Lazar gets a nice scratch on his chest. "Ow. That no nice." (See, up until now, I've been having it easy. ;p Now is the hard part. ^_~) Hey, uhm. You can recover from this sort of thing, right? * Lurika watches the fight upside-down, and gets a fine view of the post around the edge of the arena. "Ants~~" * Lazar nods. "Magiks what power golem also heal golem. Can you recover?" *smirks (Okay, since I suck at dramatic descriptions, from now on, you can describe your hits/dodges. ^_~) ( *snicker* ) (I'll let you know how hard they were. Fair enough?) (That works. It makes it prettier!) Eh? Yeah, I can. Just checkin' ta make sure I don't, y'know, mermanently mangle you or something. (Pretty @_@) (Oooh Aaaah!) * Lazar charges at Kyle again. "Let us try this again, now that I know how fast you are, small and squishy one. GOLEM WEDGIE!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 3. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6-4) and gets 5. ( Made by a measly one. ) (He made it by more. Half damage.) * Lazar only manages to grab Kyle by the back of the pants, not the underwear, but still manages to lift him high up in the air by the... well, seat of his pants. "WEDGIE POWER!" (Do I have to specify turns, or can I trust you guys to remember when yours is? ;p) ...You can get out of that Kyle! * Kyle winces. "Ow? Yeah, ow." (It's late and the GM is feeling lazy. ^_~) * Kyle dangles. "Can you reattach severed limbs? 'Cause if you can, that makes things a whole lot easier for me." * Lazar dangles Kyle. "No is fun, but yes." Cool. Sorry in advance. * Kyle hacks at the arm that holds him! 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6-4) and gets 5. ( Made by three. ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 4. ( Made by 1 ) (Okay. You didn't disarm Lazar. ;p) (Heh. Disarm. :P) (That's old...and still bad) ( Aww. Did I at least do some damage? ) * Lurika rolls up to her feet and checks her head to make sure that everything's there, relatively speaking, and goes back to her seat. (Lemme see.) (Or even get away?) * Irwin watches the fight with interest. In particular, the golem. ( It's not a grapple, really. He can get loose easily. ) (I imagine, since Kyle made it, Lazar had to let go or something to keep from being severed.) ( If it's an official grapple, I'll say "grapple" =P ) ( Welcome to GMing 101, Kate. ;) ) (101 nothin'. This is 202 at *least*.) ( I should be taking notes) * Lurika starts sketching in the dirt a loose drawing of Lazar and talks to herself. "Let's see..I think the weakpoints in the foundation should be here, here and here.." Pointing to various spots on the drawing. (And no, this is 101 :P 202 is the party splitting up ^_~) (Which did happen) (No it didn't. She didn't need to run multiple channels ^^;) (No multiple channels. Not in a one shot. ;p) (Details details ^_~) * Lazar drops Kyle with his right arm... in front of him, right into the path of a left uppercut to the body. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 6. ( Made by 1 ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6-4) and gets 3. ( BAde by 3. ) ( ...made, too. XD ) * Kyle squirms around the uppercut, managing not to get hurt. * Kyle makes a plain upward slash at Laz! 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6-6) and gets -1. ( Made by... uh, 10. >.> <.< ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 5. * Taki claps her hands Kyle. ( Made exactly. ) * Lurika looks up for a second. "Maybe he doesn't need any after all. Pity." * Lazar gets a light slash up across his torso. Aside from a grunt, though, she shows no real effect, and tries to run Kyle over with a full-on bodyblock. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 4. ( Made by 3 ) Or...maybe. All that...and it only scractched him? 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6-4) and gets 4. * Lurika points out to the fight, looking back at Taki. "Sword isn't doing much." Whoof! * Taki rubs her knuckles, "I'm glad I'm not the one in there with him." Should I give him a hand? Okay, this is getting old. Let's see if he has anything else first. * Lazar blinks. "Old? We only fighting couple of minutes... no is very old at all. Very young, even." * Kyle holds his sword out. "Yeah, but I was looking for a duel, not a slugfest. If I wanna get beat up, I know lots of people who'll be happy to do that." * Ao-Lang yells, "Come on, kick his ass already!" This barely getting to being toddler... huh? Ooo 'kay...but I'm getting boored... * Kyle focuses, and his sword begins to glow brightly, then to burn with a pure, white radiance. "One more time, I'm gonna apologize in advance. This'll prolly hurt." ["It's such an intense fight out there! This is so cool!"] * Lazar tilts his head at Kyle. "Well, I could go find another car if want to sword fi- oh. That what you mean." * Taki turns a bit twords Lurika, "Still boring?" * Lurika plops down in her seat and takes out one of her spider-looking metallic things, pressing the top on and off. * Kyle chants! "Aym ga'nah-takk di'surd, tuh nit s'dwae, ohn styg yt'ub uuru d'pu condi'az!" He attacks, swinging his sword ina level arc towards his mighty opponent! 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kyle (2d6-6) and gets 3. ( Made by five. ) Gesundheit! (...oh dear *god*, Kyle. ;p) No blowingthem up! 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 8. ( Nope! ) ( Sorry. ^.~ ) * Lurika doesn't answer, just presses and depresses it, watching the fight. * Lazar gets sliced through the neck. "... hey, I say I could grow back limbs! Not hea-" *THUD* ...aww, hell. * Lazar falls to the ground, and crumbles to dust. O.o [The crowd goes quiet. Really quiet. And then they start cheering for Kyle.] (You gotta understand, Kate, the universe Kyle's from is Lovecraft-tastic.) * Ao-Lang smirks. "About damn time." [People hastily pull out pens and change their signs.] That's... * Lurika shrugs and tosses the bomb over her shoulder. It tinks a bit as it lands behind her in the stands. ( Oh my God, I killed Lazar! I'm such a bastard! ;_; ) ["...wow! Lazar Thau has been *dusted*! That's so cool!] Ack! (Eh, he'll come back.) * Lurika looks strangely at Taki as the bomb pointedly doesn't go off. "What's the matter?" * Taki just gives Lurika a dirty look, "You people make my head hurt." * Kyle mopes out of the arena. Ah well. Maybe someone can glue him back together, or something. [A couple of groundspeople come out and sweep up Lazar's remains. Such is life.] ( There is no shame in losing to a twink. =P ) [They hand the bag of remains to a guy in a tweed suit sitting by the side of the arena. He simply shakes his head.] ( Sticks and stones may break my bones... and then again, they may not. c.c; ) (How about bombs?) ( I have to reanimate him again. I *told* him not to fight, but would he listen? Nooooo.) ( You can't reanimate dust. He's dead. Kaput. Soul gone to the hereafter. =P ) ( Bombs? Hope not to find out. ) (^_^_v) ["That was such an intense fight! Now for the next one! It's gonna be so cool!"] (Well, Jesse, if you really want him to be dead, who am I to argue. ;P) * Irwin has since dozed off watching the fight. Eh, so what. * Lurika tugs on Irwin's dress. ( Heh. Just being IC. ^_~ ) * Irwin snaps awake. "I didn't do it!" * Lurika points to the arena. "Angry girl's up." ["Using the Storm Fan style, Ao-Lang Shen!"] Oh, that's nice... *dozes off again.* [The gates open!] * Lurika blink blinks, then snaps her fingers a few times in front of Irwin's face. * Ao-Lang smiles and walks leisurely in. That's more like it. * Kyle roots Ao-Lang on. * Irwin looks irratibly at Lurika. "Fine, fine. I'm awake." * Ao-Lang notices Kyle and winks at him, blue eye. * Taki watches Ao-Lang quitly. Oh. 'kay. * Lurika goes back to her seat. * Lurika turns back to German. <"Always rude people."> (Too bad everyone can understand her anyway. ;P) (Shh ^_~) ["And her opponent, Usdi Waya Ahoka of the Ravenclaw style!"] *** Usdi has joined #OneShot [The gates open for Usdi as well.] * Lurika blinks at the name. And tries to pronounce it under her breath. And fails miserably. ["Fighters to your places! This is giong to be a cool cool fight!"] * Usdi looks around and walks carefully in. He's flanked by a pair of wolves as he walks into the ring, glancing over the two dogs who seem to read his mind and stay back. * Lurika looks for one of those spare blank signs. (Awareness, Lurika. ^_~) * Ao-Lang walks to her spot and smirks up at Usdi. Way up. "You're a big one." (You expect the clinically insane person to be aware? You've GOT to be kidding me) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lurika (2d6) and gets 9. * Usdi looks down at Ao-Lang and smiles slightly. "You haven't seen anything yet." [Lurika sees no spare signs! ;p] * Ao-Lang laughs. That's what you think. Let's get this show on the road. * Lurika can't make a sign for Ao then. Poo. ["Fighters ready?"] Very well. * Usdi closes his eyes. * Ao-Lang nods, not changing her stance at all. Which is to say... she doesn't really use one. * Taki watches and idly wonders if these two are going to stop before they kill eachother. ["Set! Fight begin! It's so cool!"] (Roll init! ^_^) ( Sleep time for me. Night folks. ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ao-Lang (d6+6) and gets 11. (Night Jesse.) ('night Jesse!) (Night Jesse. ^_^) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Usdi (d6+6) and gets 11. (Night Jesse!) ('night) [Ao-Lang, then Usdi] (Haha!) *** Lazar has quit IRC (Quit: You no should kill Gypsy- animated golem... now you suffer Gypsy curse... WAI! KYLE- SAN! [[[...]]] ) (Ladies first I guess) (Coin flip maybe) (Yeah, he had to get the last word in. ;p) (...wait, it's Ao-Lang ^^;) * Ao-Lang 's eyes twinkle, and then she dashes forward with amazing speed, whirling around Usdi as she slashes at him first with one open, bladed fan, then another. Wait, where'd she get those? 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ao-Lang (2d6-3) and gets 4. (Made by two.) 2d6-4 (Um. Dicey?) *** Ao-Lang has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) *** Rei has joined #oneshot * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ao-Lang (2d6-4) and gets 2. (... O-kay. Last I had, Ao-Lang made her first attack by- yeah, okay. :P) (That one made by four.) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Usdi (2d6-3) and gets 8. (Bizarre. ^^;) (Failed, and...) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Usdi (2d6-1) and gets 6. (Failed that one too.) *** Rei is now known as Ao-Lang * Usdi doesn't see the attacks comming, and gets gashed pretty nastily across his chest twice. He grimaces in pain. "Fine, if you want to play that way..." His form shifts and morphs into a large grey wolf, running about at blinding speed. * Taki notes that she's fallen in with a group of frightenly violent people. (That's that for my turn. Have fun!) * Ao-Lang keeps grinning, apparently not put out in the least by the shift. She snaps the fans closed, and a thick mist begins to form within the arena. "Funny weather we're having, isn't it?" she yells to the wolf. * Usdi moves quietly... *very* quietly, even. He begins trying to stalk Ao-Lang. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Usdi (2d6-2) and gets 5. (Made stealth by 2) (Do I make a counter roll, or something?) (+2 penalty to your next attack) (I'm so confused. Oh.) (If that's not the rule before, it is now! ;p (Um, okay. :P) (If she does two, is it both attacks?) (Oh, fine, be complicated like that. +2 to first, +1 to second. ^_~) (And the GM maks LAW!) (Hey, you're the one using stealth rules. ^^ And is Usdi's turn up yet?) (Oh, can I attack too? :P) (His turn's done.) (Your turn now.) (If you attack, I imagine you lose that bonus. :P) (And I just managed to clip my pen to my hair. Go me. ;p) (Because, gee, I know where you are now! ^^) (Exactly!) *** Disconnected Session Close: Sat Jul 12 03:23:57 2003 Session Start: Sat Jul 12 03:24:03 2003 *** Now talking in #oneshot (Peer went on a rampage) (Oookay. That was weird.) (Yay. ^^; Did I miss anything?) (No!) (Good! It's Ao-Lang's turn!) (Ard and Dice went out along with you.) * Ao-Lang stops and snaps open her left tessen, throwing it with a vicious spin into the mist. 2d6 * Diceske throws the bones for Ao-Lang (2d6) and gets 5. (Made by one.) 2d6 * Diceske throws the bones for Irwin (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I'm a child of extremes. Have a crit, and a nice day to go with it." (Um. Yeah.) * Ao-Lang opens the right one and throws that immediately after. (D'oh, wrong window!) (...O Fortuna just came on) 2d6-1 * Diceske throws the bones for Ao-Lang (2d6-1) and gets 5. (Made that by one, too.) 2d6+2 * Diceske throws the bones for Usdi (2d6+2) and gets 10. (Did NOT make that one by 1) ( I think I'm gonna turn in, now. z.z ) (G'night. ^^) (Night, Yu. Hope you had fun.) * Usdi whimpers as the second tessen smacks his side. But the first tessen does NOT return to Ao's hand. (Night Yu) ('night Yu.) (G'night) *** Kyle has quit IRC (Quit: x_x ) * Usdi starts digging a hole... [Ao-Lang's turn!] * Ao-Lang catches Bolt, but Wave doesn't return to her waiting hand. She blinks. "What the- damnit!" She dashes forward, straight at Usdi- Waya. "Give it back!" And the tessen she has crackles with electricity as she slices down at the wolf. "Falling Star Strike!" 2d6-4 *** Ao-Lang has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) *** Rei has joined #oneshot (...) *** Rei is now known as Ao-Lang * Diceske throws the bones for Ao-Lang (2d6-4) and gets 1. (Made by five.) 2d6-2 * Diceske throws the bones for Irwin (2d6-2) and gets 2. (Made by... 5.) (*snerk*) (And wrong channel. Again. Dammit!) (Oh, wait. 4. My bad.) (Too many modifiers. :P) * Usdi managed to get out of the brunt of the attack, but still takes a good amount of damage. 2d6+2 * Diceske throws the bones for Usdi (2d6+2) and gets 13. ["I can't see anything! This is so not cool!"] *** Ao-Lang has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) *** Rei has joined #oneshot *** Rei is now known as Ao-Lang * Taki nods and thinks she'll have a talk with the announcer after this fight...probibly. * Usdi rolls from the attack and gets into a ready stance, shifting from the wolf form into a grizzly bear. He roars up and smashes his front paws on the ground in front of him. * Ao-Lang lets the mist dissipate, and now the audience can see the mess of a fight. She's not smiling anymore, though she's still completely untouched, and she also looks completely unimpressed. "Yield and return my weapon, Smoky." * Ao-Lang lets a corner of her mouth quirk. "Remember, only you can prevent forest fires." * Usdi throws the weapon aside and sniffs the air... * Usdi growls in Ao's general direction. What, not gonna do it? The teddy don't look so hot. (Someone do something, or I'll be forced to call this fight on account of time and the GM not being able to stay awake much longer. ^^;) I think he's loosing. * Ao-Lang dashes for her weapon, jumping into the air, flipping, and ending up on her hands. She uses the momentum to keep going as she picks up her weapon, then crouches, both in hand. "Gonna yield? You haven't touched me." The fan she just acquired picks up a watery aura, and electricty begins to crackle in the air. [Ao-Lang is quite right; she's completely unharmed.] [Usdi's turn] * Usdi speaks. "Thanks for giving away your location." He charges Ao- Lang with amazing speed, trying to maul her with his paws. (If I Become a GM: 1) I am making my own combat rules. I don't care if they confuse the hell out of everyone else; I'll always know what I'm doing. ;p) * Ao-Lang breaks into a huge grin as Usdi runs forward and throws them, screaming, "Eye of the Storm!" Lightning and water trail the fans, forming a swirling, charged vortex around her. Droplets spray in all directions, drenching the audience. (you are a GM) (Welcome to the horror) He..! ::thinks better of her outburst against a woman who is taking apart a bear:: [...yeah. Usdi is KO'ed. Not dead. Just KO'ed.] * Lurika gets all wet. She doesn't seem to care. [Let's hear it for the away team!] * Usdi collapses from the electricity and vortex that occured around him. He slumps forward, the ground shaking when his bulk hits it. [The crowd cheers, a bit hesitantly at first, but they get louder once Usdi falls. Bloodthirsty, ain't they?] * Taki cheers halfheartedly. * Ao-Lang catches her tessen once Usdi hits the ground and takes a deep breath, composing herself. She flicks her wrists, the weapons seeming to vanish, and walks forward, flicking at the bear's ear. "Sweet dreams, Smokey." * Lurika stands up and shakes her hair out like a cat. "No more forest fires, I guess." [And suddenly, everyone is back where they're supposed to be. Session End.] * Lurika goes back to the asylum the...oh, you mean where they were before they got here. Whee. Yeah. Comments, questions, suggestions, and complaints on questionable rulings may be given to me tomorrow night. For now, I sleep. * Taki 's neck breaks due to repeated whiplash from sesseion ends. G'night Kate. I hope you all got some enjoyment out of that. I did. ^_^
