• Could everyone join me in an OOC for a moment? -- Fate's Player, 11:59:27 03/07/05 Mon
  • OOC: Chaos and Terra and exempt from voting, so it's up to the rest of you to decide. (NT) -- Mayhem, 12:10:35 03/07/05 Mon
  • I, myself, would like to keep going until the end despite the slow pace. I have chars on other boards so I'm not in a big hurry but I'm still enjoying this despite the slowness of it all. (NT) -- Ario and Kia, 14:37:08 03/07/05 Mon
  • I would like to continue. I've been busy lately (school!), which shows in the slowness of my replies. But I can reply faster. (NT) -- Lunae, 21:01:44 03/07/05 Mon
  • I'm with them. I know I really have been a flake with school, but i really like the story. I'm sure we can figure out the plot. Don't give up so easily. Anyways, thats me. (NT) -- Naverin, 17:06:16 03/09/05 Wed
  • Since everyone seems in agreement, that's fine. We'll keep trodding along. I confess, I really like the plot too. I spent a good chunk of an afternoon just sitting and fleshing it. If that's the vote, that's what we'll do. I'll keep up as best I can. (NT) -- Fate, 11:48:52 03/11/05 Fri
• For everyone who is awake. (Currently: Lunae, Terra) -- Fate, 11:50:32 03/11/05 Fri
  • Terra sits and watches the scenery. After a while she turns to Lunae, "Where have you been?" -- Terra Yumakami, 10:28:05 03/17/05 Thu
  • "What do you mean, 'where have you been?' I've been on watch." Lunae stands up for a second and stretches her legs. (NT) -- Lunae, 20:37:07 03/24/05 Thu
  • "Not what I meant. You left for a long time, at the colony. Where have you been?" Terra Yumakami tended to speak less when she wasn't comfortable with the surroundings, and the old habit was resurfacing now. Something about this area bothered her. (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 11:45:54 03/31/05 Thu
    • Lunae was a bit more relaxed, but she felt the same as Terra. The scenery felt wrong. She keeps her gaze on the surroundings when she replies, "I've been exploring. Don't tell me you stayed here for two years, you're a wanderer at heart." More so than me, she adds silently. She'd never seen Terra settle for longer than a few months. Carnerik appeared to be an exception. (NT) -- Creselin Lunae, 11:54:02 04/13/05 Wed
• For everyone who is asleep (Currently: Chaos, Naverin, Kia, Lialye) -- Fate, 11:55:02 03/11/05 Fri
  • Kia shakes her head in surprise as Terra (who had been standing in front of her) dissapeared. She is further surprised to see the large snakes suddenly appear in this realm. The things looked far too large to fight but there had to be something that they could do. Kia steps nearer Guide and askes "How can we help them?" (NT) -- Kia, 17:12:39 03/12/05 Sat
  • Ario jumps to his feet at the appearance of the serpents. He looks ready to help but waits for Guide's reply to Kia's question. (NT) -- Ario, 17:13:50 03/12/05 Sat
  • Guide does not reply. She is shaking visibly, and seems ready to fall over. She starts to send a message to you, but it is just a jumble of images, all of them either terrifying or painful. There is a hint of darkness and demons, one of betrayal...but no actual message comes through. (NT) -- Fate, 11:56:20 03/15/05 Tue
    • Chaos tries to break free as much as he can. Releasing the blade in his boot (like a spike, typically used for climbing, but I had the dwarves design one for weaponry use) He starts to madly kick at the black bodies. Noticing the change of scenery he gasps out, "Help! These things...I don't understand it, but they can change forms! This one was just a cube of jelly until a few moments ago, and before that it was a pirate...be careful!" (NT) -- Chaos, 11:58:25 03/15/05 Tue
  • Kia stepped forward at Chaos' cry for help. She had no idea whether anything she could do would actually help but she was going to try. Drawing her sword she swung it down at the mid-section of the nearest snake. (NT) -- Kia, 06:21:01 03/16/05 Wed
  • Ario stands near Guide confused at the jumble of images. He remains near her trying to confort her. (NT) -- Ario, 06:22:16 03/16/05 Wed
  • Naverin starts to rush to Chaos, also knowing what the snakish things can do. "Keep your minds blocked off; I think they can read thoughts. Also don't get too close in my opinion." Just as Naverin says this, she stops, realising she was going right against her own advice. (NT) -- Naverin, 14:26:54 03/18/05 Fri
  • Guide continues to shake, and seems incapable of coherent thought so long as the snakes are nearby. The snakes themselves calm down after a few seconds and pause, still clutching the helpless human. They ignore Kia and Naverin for the moment. A low guttural hiss emerges, at first its just below hearing, but it quickly rises in volume until it is deafening. Surprisingly, everyone merely gets the impression that a question has just been asked. Guide falls to the floor...the floor that is merely a section of sky with gravity, held up by her own magic...Ario would be the first to notice that what once felt as solid as thick glass or ice now feels like slowly sinking sand. (more inside) -- Fate, 08:47:41 03/21/05 Mon
    • Ario, noticing that the ground is becoming less stable, moves to Guide's side and communicates, "Do you have the strength to get us back to paradise? Anywhere but here?" (NT) -- Ario, 05:16:51 03/22/05 Tue
    • Naverin begins to be very confused. /what are we supposed to do? The wolves led us here, but should we leave?/ She turns toward the others and hopes that Guide and make a decision. She is willing to stick with it whatever happens, but she is not leading. (NT) -- Naverin, 15:44:58 03/26/05 Sat
    • OOC: I think I beat all of you in slacking off. I blame school and assorted other things like drama and stuff...yesh. Dangit, I hate catching up... BIC: Lialye grimaces, her hands tightening on her staff. The situation's going steadily downhill...lovely. But something in the snakes' communication strikes her as odd, and she narrows her eyes, thinking. Wolf? What wolf? Were they talking about Guide? Hmm...in any case, the situation now was, essentially, leave or die. Easy enough choice. Odd little side comments could be pondered later, in a safer place. "Guide, I really hope you can get us out of here," Lialye mutters tightly, drawing closer to Guide and the rest of the group, "because they aren't leaving us much choice, and I, for one, would much prefer to retreat now and fight later, once we're a bit more prepared." -- Lialye, 19:42:44 03/30/05 Wed
  • Guide shakes her head, ‘If I open a portal, they will follow. I cannot take them to paradise. But we cannot stay here. I do not know what to do! I've been running from this foul beast for so long...I never thought what I would do if I was caught.' Guide is able to rise, but she can't stop shaking. After a while, she speaks to the snakes themselves, ‘Release the humans you have trapped. Release them, and we will leave.' She then privately speaks to you all, ‘But where do we go? I will not take these hunters back to my paradise, and I can't think of anywhere else! I can't think...where? Where do we go?' -- Fate, 11:54:05 03/31/05 Thu
    • Ario looked Guide in the eyes and said /Take us to one of these other worlds. Not your paradise but one of the other paradises. The paradise of rocks or someplace where it wont matter if they follow./ (NT) -- Ario, 04:59:17 04/01/05 Fri
    • Guide focuses on Ario's idea. 'Some place where it won't matter...Some place where they can't do harm...' While she readies herself, the snakes twist and writhe, releasing the human captive and stepping away. ((All players are now free to move, huzzah! Sorry, Chaos, that must not've been much fun for you.)) Guide's mind settles, 'This is too close...the furthest paradise there is...the furthest from the spiral...no harm...Okay. Rocks would work.' Guide begins the spell. ((Now, I would leave it there, give y'all a day to get close to her, then move on, but I'm a loser that way. You can jump through, and I'll do the rest on Spring Break---Wednesday.)) After another spell a portal opens, although it looks a bit unstable. Guide clearly didn't have clear focus. Regardless, she charges through. (NT) -- Fate, 12:12:29 04/04/05 Mon
    • Unstable or not, Chaos didn't care. He just wants to get out of here. "Tally ho! Let's go!" He runs like a bull (slow to get up to speed, but attempting to stop him is like stopping the ocean) and charges into the swirling vortex of uncertain safety. (NT) -- Chaos (Who is glad to be free, btw), 12:41:04 04/04/05 Mon
    • Ario dashes through the portal right behind Guide. (NT) -- Ario, 05:08:52 04/05/05 Tue
    • Kia sheathes her sword and jogs through the portal with the others. (NT) -- Kia, 05:09:52 04/05/05 Tue
      • And Lialye follows behind... (NT) -- Lialye, 19:59:04 04/07/05 Thu
      • I laugh with mirth as I amuse myself. Hop onto the internet during spring break? I don't think I was even indoors or at home for longer than a few hours. I think that was just to eat. Anyway, the thread has moved up. (NT) -- Fate, 11:57:53 04/13/05 Wed
