School House Rumble, Part 1: Arcadia, school of Old

[Silver Knight]

OT: Fine with me.:)


Just glad you had some fun while I was out. Sorry, but I was watching that two-hour Mythbuster special. It was quite good.:)



Once the thing is defeated, I'm here to led you to Xanadu.



:evilsmile :evilsmile

OOC: That all depends on if they'll count my last battle post or not

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: Just so you know, I've decided to simply stop sleeping altogether until this RPG is over with! Bring it on! oO

.....Okay.


*Prepares the traps, puzzles, and random nastiness for Ghost's character*.

[Ghost]

OOC: That all depends on if they'll count my last battle post or not

OOC: All I know is that Rhia hit it in the face with a Thunderstorm Cannon.

[The Dog]

Natalie grabbed Tamiko's hand in a weak grip.

"No, not now, Tamiko! Save your energy, use it to sever the root, see what Herr Daichi has done?"

Looking to Natalie worriedly, Selma nonetheless nodded and said "I'll protect Natalie with my life while you sever the root, OK Tamiko?"

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: Just so you know, I've decided to simply stop sleeping altogether until this RPG is over with! Bring it on! oO

OOC: Cleric is going to have a field day with you.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: All I know is that Rhia hit it in the face with a Thunderstorm Cannon.

OOC: Well I grabbed it and ran it over the cliff. Fortunitly I was able to fall back on the edge but am hurt bad to make up for it. its the first post of the last page.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: Well, my problem is both... I'm missing out and I have a hard time keeping myself up to date.

OKay, you know what, that said, I'm just gunna drop out, since most of the fun of RPing is RPing with people, and I'm just not able to do that as consistantly as I need to in order to really be a part of an RP this active. Thanks for the opportunity anyway, Cleric.

So, you all can NPC Django if you like, if one of your characters needs a sidekick/friend/pet. Or Cleric can make him a teacher in disguise.

Sorry to see you go, man.:(


Yeah, this one is a bit bigger then Neo DBZ was. I never expected to actually retain so many people this far into the game (usually, at least 1/3 to 1/2 drop out).

I'm really excited to see so many people still here, especially those I don't get to RP with much (Ghost, Miburohunter, ect....)


Mant, I'm having a blast with this thing!

And it's all thanks to you guys/gals/somethings in between.

[Chou Blaster]

OOC:

I got a idea, why no have the root happen first, then the Chasm.

After all bot hparties win in that aspect eam Natalie weakened it and Crazy Martial arts guy knocks it down chasm.


Everyone wins.

And I wanna go to Xandu now.

[FalconX2000]

OOC: ...away from the chasm. :confused: And FYI! The method of death/defeat has been chosen! Just do your thing, people. You'll see. ;)
IC:

The Thorn Elemental caught itself, nearly falling over from all the blows in rapid succession, all over it's body.

In a blind attack, swung it's arm out as it rose, another rainfall of giant thorns ripping through the sky as they soared through the air. However, it was off balance, still, swaying forwards and backwards for a moment, trying to steady itself on the slippery ground.

OOC: Should we just ignore the stand-in DM and say the monster died, then everyone move on while Chrosis continues posting about it coming back?:D

"Hey lex ready another one of those sorrow drives and push it back when I say." Kekowa dropped down and swept the Thorn's leggs out fromunder the wobbly monster causing it to fall "Now!"

OOC: You swept the things' legs out from under it? That thing is the size of a building.:eek:

OOC: But....isn't the elemental facing towards the chasm?

Alexia rammed into the thorn creature, trying to keep it off balance while trying to escape the deadly projectiles at the same time.

OOC: Ahh whatever, if their intent is to go along with the plan, we can say its temporarily stumbling and turning from the overwhelming momentum of the attacks, so nobodys' really screwing up if they're hitting it back or front.

[GrampaGen]

Natalie's still bleeding away :( magic does not grant healing factors at that level

OOC: Sure, I can live with that, how bout yall?

[FalconX2000]

OOC: I guess if I dont want to die, I'll have to save myself. You guys suck!

You were hit in the chest by a thorn but it didn't carry you into any greater danger. If you're alive, you can pull it out yourself. If you're dead, well...nice knowin ya.;)

As for Silver Knight, let him have the last hit and we say the rest of us contributed to slamming the monster towards the chasm. Should be noted that I iced the final portion as per my first post when I came up with the plan, so it lost its footing on it when Kekowa landed that hit.

Go ahead Cleric. I think we're done and marching peacefully along the flower route again to Xanadu.

Man, has any forum RPG ever moved this fast in anyones' experience?

[Chou Blaster]

Sorry to see you go, man.:(


Yeah, this one is a bit bigger then Neo DBZ was. I never expected to actually retain so many people this far into the game (usually, at least 1/3 to 1/2 drop out).





OOC: That part is true, bigger cast, but I would rather see NBDZ2 than a sequel to this. :As he wrote out his story/character for NDBZ2 already.:

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: If all goes well, this will be the 4th RPG that I'll have completed. (You Become Your Own Avatar, Pale Star 1, and Against The End were the only ones I participated in that actually had a conclusion).

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"To be blunt, Hunter, I think it was an effect of unbalance," Natalie replied,"culling power from...darker...sources gives them a foothold in this realm and they feed off of life energy itself. Twisted powers that suckle from the cohesive fabric of space, ja? Naturally, the balance will turn inward to right itself, though it is unfortunate that none of the people could mend themselves in time."

.....How errie.


That's actually fairly close to what I was going to explain Atlantis's downfall on.


Hmm..........


Stop reading my mind!:eek: :eek:

[Chrosis]

Sorry this is taking so long. It'll be up in a sec.

And no, Silver Knight, sorry. You didn't kill it. :(

[Ghost]

OOC: Should we just ignore the stand-in DM and say the monster died, then everyone move on while Chrosis continues posting about it coming back?:D

OOC: I say it's dead!

Sorry this is taking so long. It'll be up in a sec.

And no, Silver Knight, sorry. You didn't kill it. :(

Yes, we've done it in! It fell down a chasm! DEAD! oO

[Silver Knight]

OOC: That part is true, bigger cast, but I would rather see NBDZ2 than a sequel to this. :As he wrote out his story/character for NDBZ2 already.:

OOC: Yeah for real, its Time Aoshi got back into the saddle! But I agree on Falcon's Idea, if thats ok with the rest of you.

[Chou Blaster]

OOC: Waitin' up on Chrosis, it was his monster after all.

Natalie's still bleeding away :( magic does not grant healing factors at that level

OOC:
:( Well it adds mor eimprotance to the Xandu quest, to get through everything and get te idol before Natalie goes bye bye. At least that's Daici'story now.

[GrampaGen]

.....How errie.

OOC: Hah HAH! Low level empathy indeed :D

[Miburohunter929]

You were hit in the chest by a thorn but it didn't carry you into any greater danger. If you're alive, you can pull it out yourself. If you're dead, well...nice knowin ya.;)

OOC: Your aware that an arms worth of thorns were directed at me, right? And all Pete managed to do was make them tumble, like boulders.

And as a result, I avoided some, was hit by one, and was on the ground, as like a dozen more were still crashing towards me.

Anyways, I've got it under control now :)

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: But the best part about his is that since the dragon is gone, weaker, yet still powerful creatures have taken it's place. And since the dragon would've oneshotted this badboy before, it's completely reasonable that it would appear now. :D

Hmm, someone was paying attention to Kelly and Lucia's talk.


Nice catch, Chrosis.:)

[Tami]

Looking to Natalie worriedly, Selma nonetheless nodded and said "I'll protect Natalie with my life while you sever the root, OK Tamiko?"

Not liking this, Tamiko sadly nodded and grabbed her spear. She then ran over to the remaining exposed root and raised up her weapon. Channeling all of her spirit energy into her weapon, causing it glow with her aura, she swung down on it as hard as she could.

[FalconX2000]

Xellos saw the state of Natalies' arms.

A handkerchief will be insufficient here..

Xellos took back his cloak from Hunter. Now that the book was gone, there was nothing for it to conceal.

He tore it up and tied it around her arm wounds in a makeshift torniquet.

"It should stop the bleeding, but we should hurry and finish this quest, or Gangrene may set in."

OOC: Uhh, Tami. I think its dead now. Unless you want to jump into the chasm after it.:D

Please go ahead Cleric, post the story development before more filler sets in.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Well, I think this should work. If someone already saved me, then damnit.

As the barrage of thorns tumbled towards Dean, with the rumble of a thousand drums their erratic beat filled with promises of death, He began to curse, as he realized his only option.

He really hated using his named techniques, not only because they left him vunerable after a while, but because it was a matter of pride. No opponet was worthy of seeing the glory of such techniques, especially not some thorns. Dean, realizing it was either do something, or die, choose the former.

"Christ, I am an Idiot" Dean said to no one in paticular, as he swatted a thorn that had nearly hit it's mark to the side. As he rose to his feet, he pulled the thorn that had pierced him earlier from it's resting place in his shoulder, with a grunt of effort and spray of blood as he removed it.

Shrugging of the pain Dean quickly assumed a fighting stance, and as another thorn neared him, he began his counter.

"Special Technique: Magnum Punch!" Dean said quietly. He reeled back his right hand, and hit the thorn with such force it was sent flying into it's brothers at breakneck speeds.

The Thorn crashed into it's brethern, and sent the majority of them crashing into random directions, like pool balls being struck.

Dean breathed a sigh of relief as none of the stray thorns hit him. And then he coughed up dark red blood, before sitting on his ass.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: Well, I just caught up with the battle, and I must say I'm impressed. A bit harried here and there, but nicely done.



Now I just need to find a badguy for you lot that's better then Thorny over there. 0_o

"Ah!" she yelped in pain. Never had she been injured to quite an extent; at a glance one would think a bear had swatted her.

"Thank you, Xellos..." she spoke, weakly but gratefully, the ordeal behind them.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: We so the most badass class at the school. :cool:

OOC: Giant wyrms, Forest Elementals, and Head Devils? Yeah, we got the TOOLS, we got the TALENT!

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Wait until you meet the Norns. :evilsmile

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: Great, now Cleric is going to introduce a class more badass than us.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Great, now Cleric is going to introduce a class more badass than us.

OOC: Personally, I'e been hoping for something like that. I've been having a scene for Dean in mind since this began. :D

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: Great, now Cleric is going to introduce a class more badass than us.

Would I do that?



Anyways, who's killing the monster?

[The Dog]

"Ah!" she yelped in pain. Never had she been injured to quite an extent; at a glance one would think a bear had swatted her.

"Thank you, Xellos..." she spoke, weakly but gratefully, the ordeal behind them.

Selma held Natalie gently, giving a small nod to Xellos as she said "You're right Xellos, we should hurry before Gangrene sets in... I just wish I knew healing magic."

Blinking her eyes to fight back tears, Selma looked to the girl in her arms as she thought 'And I wish I could have protected you Natalie... I wish I wasn't always so scared and useless...'

[Chrosis]

The Thorn Elemental tried to steady itself, sending out even more waves of the monstrous thorns at it's attackers, knowing full well what they were trying to do.

The creature dug it's thorns into the ground. It had no intention of being pushed any further.

Natalie had finally noticed a small pattern with the Thorn Monster's movements and actions. It was mostly a hunch, but she needed to know.

"Your Snake Bite, I will need you to use it..."

She reached towards him with a gesture. Using her Astral Avatar, she suddenly hoisted him up with an invisible hand.

"The root, Daichi, sever the root!"

And with a burst of spirit energy made corporeal, she put what she had into Daichi in preparation for letting him fly.

"GO!"

OOC: Fastball Special, Schoolhouse style

:And Daichi grit shis teeht a she wa slaunched and saw the root along the soil. As he spoke.:

BY THE POWER OF GREY SKULL!!!!!!!!!!! :As he wa smad that this thing hurt his friend, ver ymad indeed.:

:And he takcle dthe root and griped his hands around it and even bites it, getting his lips cut as he triggers it.:


SNAKE BITE!

:The Tirpple Snake Bite with both hands and his mouth crushed the root into dust, as he hit the thing at full pwoer, times three, as deep within his body, the Heaven,Eart,h and Human spheres were triggered.:

:And a shte root became dust Daichi fell on his ass as the root was gone.:

That's what you get for hurting my friend."

It's leg was ripped from the ground, tearing out a large chunk of earth, and the Thorn Elemental seemed to waver for a moment, the deep gold in it's eyes fading away for a moment. For that moment, it seemed almost fragile. The lingering flames catching on once more, igniting parts of it's body.

The monk's spade was stuck into the ground as Levi tore long strips from his cheongsam's frontal flap. Tying it around his hands, he clenched both only to still see a small trickle of crimson drip. "Looks like I'll have to rely on my hands and feet alone..."

Ki once more entered his body, muscles and veins pressed against the surface of his flesh. Sparks of electrical energy danced about him as his ki not only gathered in his right palm, but now his left. Planting his right foot down in a stomp, Levi took a horse stance before the creature. Thrusting both palms forward, heels touching, the twin orbs of ki ignited as the double open palms struck the creature's leg, erupting into a neon green light.

The Thorn Elemental's leg buckled, sending the towering creature crashing to the ground, it's two long legs hanging out over the chasm. Slowly, the fire began to burn once more in it's eyes, an arm reaching out, letting a wicked looking thorn slide out from it's palm. And it stayed there, the creature sliding backwards and into the chasm, for nearly all life had left it's eyes, and where there was once a solid, indomitable will, there was now only the faintest ember of life.

For a moment one would fear that it would find earth at the bottom, and return with a vengeance. However, that fear soon vanished, when as curious on lookers watched from the top of the chasm, careful not to fall in as well, the Thorn Elemental crashed into the wall of the chasm, the arm Hunter damaged ripping free from it's body. The Thorn Elemental fell deeper, to the bottom of the ravine with a sickening crunch and into a black, thick, shadow.

This was not a normal darkness, though. This chasm was rank with death. In it's half living daze, it's head smashed, both legs broken, and missing an arm, the Thorn Elemental seemed to struggle, but it was in vain. It was pulled deeper in by a black, oozing arm that wrapped itself around the Thorn Elemental's chest, dragging the struggling, crippled Elemental down into the dark, where there was no sound, but a great, and evil, power.

It appeared that the world had worst secrets than giant thorn creatures. If the students were to survive, they would have to work together better than ever before.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: Well, if you really wanted Natalie healed right now, that forest spirit might be willing to do it for another favor............

OT: Hey, don't blame me! Tamiko was just doing what she was told to do. Take it or skip it, either way is okay with me. :)

[Eternal Torment]

Would I do that?

OOC: Well since its your monster I guess its ok for you to decided to how it dies. Oh and Cleric Who or what are Norns? That doesnt sound encouraging. Oh well Kekowa wont take no crap:evilsmile

[Miburohunter929]

OT: Bravo!


Nice ending, Chrosis.:)

OOC: Ditto. I knew he wouldnt do something crappy like "You tripped thorn Aura. Thorn Aura is dead. You win 50 exp points!"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Paraphrasing an earlier post of yours:

Wait until you meet the Norns. :evilsmile

I was merely commenting on Ghost stating that you lot were the most badass class there at Arcadia.


No, the Norns are the most badass students there. Even when they have only seven members in the entire Norn Dorm (the smallest group of students in Arcadia), they could still beat the entire group right now by only using four of the seven.


I was already planning on them being the toughest of the tough at Arcadia right now (for Students at least).

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: Well since its your monster I guess its ok for you to decided to how it dies. Oh and Cleric Who or what are Norns? That doesnt sound encouraging. Oh well Kekowa wont take no crap:evilsmile

Think Norse mythology. I'm sure one of your fellow posters can fill you in on them.



I'm keeping them secret until the Tournament.:evilsmile

[Silver Knight]

Kekowa walked over to a wounded Natalie "Sorry I left." He extended his hand to her "IF you want I can carry you untill we reach the shrine, its not a big deal its the least I can do."

OOC: I cant wait to get my ass kicked by them. That way, I can have a training Montage! I mean, Obviously, I train like fuck, but it's usally off scene :)

[FalconX2000]

OT: Bravo!


Nice ending, Chrosis.:)

OOC:Agreed. That was dramatic. I'll just remember it as 'everyone whacked the shit out of it till it toppled down the chasm, then the darkness got it'.

Xellos called out to the group.

"Everyones' got injuries, but nobody is imobile. The longer we stay in the wilderness the worst it'll get. Any objections against moving out?"

[Silver Knight]

Think Norse mythology. I'm sure one of your fellow posters can fill you in on them.



I'm keeping them secret until the Tournament.:evilsmile

OOC: Ah my norse is a little rusty but I think Ill manage.

[GrampaGen]

OT: Well, if you really wanted Natalie healed right now, that forest spirit might be willing to do it for another favor............

OOC: Arms? She don't need no freakin' arms! ...oh yeah, the wand. Crap. Well, I'll just chill and wing it :)

[Vakanai]

Hunter was feeling upset, and a bit scared. He had lost his humanity to the old Triumvirate, he had been attacked by a giant thorn creature...and now he was lost, and his leg had been injured by that last thorn blast.
"Hello? Guys? Somebody?" he said, receiving only echoes as answers. "Eep," he said, feeling alone. He began walking, hoping to make it back to the group. But he was heading in the wrong direction...

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

IC: The forest seemed to lighten up as a small group of bright lights began whizzing about the group at high speeds. Each light seemed to emmit a warm and comforting glow.

Thank you thank you thank you! You've freed us from that nasty Thorn monster!

[The Dog]

Kekowa walked over to a wounded Natalie "Sorry I left." He extended his hand to her "IF you want I can carry you untill we reach the shrine, its not a big deal its the least I can do."

Selma's eyes widened as she said "N-no, it's OK. I can carry her..." she let out a sigh as she added "It seems that's all I can do for her, so I might as well make myself useful that way..."

The bright lights that surrouned the group surround the wandering Hunter aswell, filling him with warmth and comfort. They also lead him back to the group.

OOC: For such a badass group, their dorm name seems a bit...less intimidating...or at least in my opinion.


Looking to his palms, both still smoking, he found that his makeshift bandages had held well enough. Tightening each with his teeth, he slipped his glasses on before finally slumping his shoulders in relief. While one Xuánwu Palm was all righty stamina-wise, the Double Xuánwu Palm took a lot out of him. "Good work, everyone..."

[Chou Blaster]

OT: Well, if you really wanted Natalie healed right now, that forest spirit might be willing to do it for another favor............

OOC: Sound sliek a job for Daichi.


:And ther ehe was, picking the eight thorns he had gottne out of his mouth, his teeth bleeding wildy, an dlooke don to Natalie, as he thought.:

I coul dahve protected her better, damnit, why did'nt i apply myself better?

:And he spoke out: "Ohh Great, and Benevolent SPirit of the Forest, the same who would hlep us on our jounery, I am willing to make a deal."


(And yeah Norns, those wer ethe Three Sisters of Fate, THe Girl from Oh My Goddess are base doff them. )

[kain5252]

Selma blinked, recognizing the voice. Being careful of the injured girl in her arms, she bowed her head slightly as she said "Y-you're welcome... It's the least we could do after you helped us."

Justin feeling angry that he was so useless through the fight. Listened in to hear what the spirit had to say.

[GrampaGen]

Selma's eyes widened as she said "N-no, it's OK. I can carry her..." she let out a sigh as she added "It seems that's all I can do for her, so I might as well make myself useful that way..."

Natalie chuckled quietly.

"Us three, we're a sorrowful sorority, aren't we?" She said, winking offhandedly at Tamiko

"Kekowa, thank you, but I can walk...just a little dizzy..."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Selma blinked, recognizing the voice. Being careful of the injured girl in her arms, she bowed her head slightly as she said "Y-you're welcome... It's the least we could do after you helped us."

Our mother told us not to follow you, but we did and ended up getting snagged by that nasty brute! How can we ever repay you for freeing us?


OT: Their mother is the forest spirit you talked to back at the beginning, the one that gave you directions.

[FalconX2000]

OOC: Arms? She don't need no freakin' arms! ...oh yeah, the wand. Crap. Well, I'll just chill and wing it :)

OOC: Pull a Zabuza Natalie! Grip the wand in your teeth and cast your badass!

Hunter was feeling upset, and a bit scared. He had lost his humanity to the old Triumvirate, he had been attacked by a giant thorn creature...and now he was lost, and his leg had been injured by that last thorn blast.
"Hello? Guys? Somebody?" he said, receiving only echoes as answers. "Eep," he said, feeling alone. He began walking, hoping to make it back to the group. But he was heading in the wrong direction...

I just took the cloak I lent you to torniquet Natalie, so I assume you're with us...if you really want, get lost along the way?

[Tami]

OT: Should I just deleate what I posted? I guess no one needed Tamiko's help after all. :(

"Can...can you show us the way to Xanadu?" Alexia asked timidly.

[Vakanai]

The bright lights that surrouned the group surround the wandering Hunter aswell, filling him with warmth and comfort. They also lead him back to the group.

These lights are freaking me the hell out, Hunter thought quietly to himself.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: Should I just deleate what I posted? I guess no one needed Tamiko's help after all. :(

Not at all. You helped just fine, and what you did still counts when I review what happened.

[Silver Knight]

"Your most wlecome." Kekowa said as he bowed.

[FalconX2000]

"Can...can you show us the way to Xanadu?" Alexia asked timidly.

OOC: We already know the way to Xanadu. Thats what the mother showed us the flower path for.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Can...can you show us the way to Xanadu?" Alexia asked timidly.

Eh, well..... the lead pixie, for that is what they were now that you could see their tiny humanoid forms.

We all suck at directions, to tell you the truth. We can heal though! That's really our specialiaty. Besies, if we help you, our debt to you for saving us will be paid.

[The Dog]

Natalie chuckled quietly.

"Us three, we're a sorrowful sorority, aren't we?" She said, winking offhandedly at Tamiko

"Kekowa, thank you, but I can walk...just a little dizzy..."

Selma watched Natalie worriedly, giving her a small smile as she gently wrapped a protective arm around her waist as she said "I'm sure you can, but I'm not taking any chances. You risked your life to protect me, and this is the least I can do to protect you."

Natalie was too weak to say anything for the moment, but made some observations to the nature of these spirits.

Green faeries? No, far too small, yet the astral bodies of sprites are not nearly as potent. Still, if they were related to the spirit Selma talked to, I suppose they are the ones that hold the black magic of Atlantis under binding...though it is curious how they were consumed by that dark entity...

[Vakanai]

Stupid thorns..., Hunter thought, trying to bandage his leg with some leaves. He decided to just walk behind everyone and try not to limp.

[Miburohunter929]

"Ugh. I really hate this forest" Dean said as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

As he rose to his feet, he headed back towards the group, who he had become seperated from during the chaos. Along the way, he saw many trees, impaled with several thorns, all of which were meant for him.

Guess I dodged a bullet. I wonder if everyone else was just as lucky.

As he rejoined the others,the wound from his right shoulder continued to bleed, making a small trail of blood, forcing him to cover it with his left hand.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Alright then! Sisters, lets do this!


The pixies then joined hands and began rotating around the group, moving faster and faster as their light began to shine even more. With a bright flash, the spinning pixies stopped as their healing aura's swept over the group, mending broken bones, cuts, bruises, and replentishing energy reserves.


There we go! You saved our lives, so now we've healed you all in return. Please be careful where you travel, for Xanadu is very dangerous. Till we meet again!


With a smile and a tiny wave, the pixies all departed back to their mother.

After seeing the Pixes do their work Kekowa was amazed. "Wow impressive little buggers arnt they?"

Tamiko walked up a little closer to them, "Are you sure you don't want me to try a healing spell? It won't be very strong, but I think it might help to ease the pain a little." she spoke timidly, but with concern in her voice.

[kain5252]

The thorns embedded in his hands were gone, as was the blood flow. Bowing to the healing pixies, he removed the makeshift bandages from his hands. Wiping the excess blood from his hands the monk's spade, he picked up the weapon once more. "May your own journeys be peaceful." He replied to the pixes' farewells.

The head pixie stopped, zoomed back over to Levi, and then kissed him on the check (remember, she's just big enough to sit on your shoulder). Giggling like mad, she returned to the other pixies and zoomed off, all of them giggling.

[FalconX2000]

Ignore, injuries healed so this post irrelevant.

[Vakanai]

Hunter broke off a piece of one of the leftover giant thorns. He could use the wood to make his magic bullets with later.

Giving the pixies a slight smile, "I guess not." As the pixies healed the others. Tamiko still felt down with herself, unhappy that she wasn't stronger, that she couldn't have doen more to help, that she was too afraid. Just like when her teacher was killed. This nagging doubt lingered in the back of her mind.

[Ghost]

Looking unusually forlorn, Rhia walked up to Natalie and Selma.

"Natalie..." she said. "I... I'm sorry. I-I wanted to protect you but I wasn't fast enough, strong enough. I failed..."

Noticing Tamiko's expression and knowing what it meant as it was the same he had before. Walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Hey cheer up, you were helpful to everybody. After all, every bit helps right?".

[Miburohunter929]

As Dean Rejoined the group, he arrived just in time to see some green..things, departing. Figuring it to be of no importance, he continued walking towards the group. He saw Xellos, and decided to see how he was coping from the battle.

"Well, That was fun, huh?" Dean said loudly to Xellos. As he spoke, he became aware of his wounds being healed.

"When the hell did that happen?!" Dean yelled while examining his shoulder.

Dean, upon quickly contemplating what had just occured, the departure of the mysterious green thingies, and his own unfathomable ablilites, came to one conclusion:

His Muscles were invincible. There was only one thing for him to do.

"Friends! Behold! The Glory of my muscles knows no bounds! They laugh at the feeble wounds that Thorn monster inflicted, and repaired themselves with the greatest of ease!"

He Proceeded to randomly pose, before ending with his signiture bicep flex.

"Praise their glory!"

[Vakanai]

What good am I? I got corrupted by a devil, my magic did jack squat in the fight against that thorn creature, I...I'm useless Hunter thought quietly to himself. "Stupid," he said, not referring to any monsters this time.

[GrampaGen]

Just then, the pixie magic flooded over the girls, healing them all instantly.

It was an odd feeling, somewhere between growing pains and peeling off a scab, as well as a refreshing panacea that could be compared to hot soup. As the blood began to draw back into her wounds, her thin arms pulling themselves back together, Natalie felt refreshed not only of the body, but in her soul as well; bathed in the light, all fear and doubt melted from her heart at once, and she was able to once more stand strong against the dark powers of the forest.

Tamiko walked up a little closer to them, "Are you sure you don't want me to try a healing spell? It won't be very strong, but I think it might help to ease the pain a little." she spoke timidly, but with concern in her voice.

"Ah wunderbar!", Natalie exclaimed, stretching her arms, then took notice of Tamiko

"No, no Tamiko, it's alright, ja? It seems there are still benevolent spiritual entities in the body of this forest."

Clasping her roomates around in an awkward grouphug, she beamed.

"We ought to stop being so helpless though; surely there's a better name for us mages? 'Sorrow Sorority' is so uncouthe!"

[Chrosis]

You can have all the commemorative photos you want. The original picture I made still kicks ass.

The head pixie stopped, zoomed back over to Levi, and then kissed him on the check (remember, she's just big enough to sit on your shoulder). Giggling like mad, she returned to the other pixies and zoomed off, all of them giggling.

Pleasantly surprised, a soft chuckle escaped from his lips as he watched the head pixie zip off out of sight; afterall, it wasn't everyday that something supernatural kissed you.

With that said and done, his glance moved to the group in which some were already moving on ahead. Moving onward to catch up, he could only wonder what other beings lurked within.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

The group moved after the fight, keepin gsharp eyes out on any violent foilage from that point on.

After another two hours, the forest parted slightly to show the ruins of Xanadu.



The city was easily the size of a big city back home. The walls were over 100 feet tall, as were the doors (what are left of them. Looks like something big with talons the size of small trees tore them down long ago).



Just peeking over the wall was the top of a tall, thin spire. This was the top of the Shrine, in the very heart/middle/center of Xanadu.

Noticing Tamiko's expression and knowing what it meant as it was the same he had before. Walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Hey cheer up, you were helpful to everybody. After all, every bit helps right?".

She gave Justin a slight smile, trying to hide her feelings. "Thank you." was all Tamiko could say. Looking at him, she let out a sigh, then her smile grew, "We won, didn't we? And everyone is safe..." she then looked around, then back at him, "Are we missing anyone?"

After what felt like an eternity it seems they arrived. Even if most of the city was obscured by the walls, it was still quite marvelous. Depsite his awe, he noted the talon markings; would it turn out to be another foe they would soon combat against perhaps?

"Xanadu, City of Sorrows, lost in time, drowned in tears," Hunter said when they made it there. He didn't much like the look of the place.

A wraithlike figure then appered in front of the gates. It wore a hood of darkness, and held up a skeletal hand, it's cloak shrouding it's face.


Halt, those who wish to enter Xanadu. Long has it been since any tried to enter these walls. You must answer my question to do so. If you fail, then I Darjek, Kepper of Precepts, shall not let you pass. Ever.

Looking unusually forlorn, Rhia walked up to Natalie and Selma.

"Natalie..." she said. "I... I'm sorry. I-I wanted to protect you but I wasn't fast enough, strong enough. I failed..."

"Rhia..."

Natalie moved over to the warrior princess, and still high off of the spiritual empowerment, threw a playful left on her shoulder.

"...you worry too much! It's all right, ja?"

She tilted her head forward and whispered to her.

"You and me both, we cannot protect everyone at once, ja? Still, save some for me, I'll catch up to your monkey leaps yet ;)"

And with a firm embrace, Natalie twirled, invigorated, and pointed to the city with her wand.

"We're almost done! Just promise we'll get through it all together, ja?" Feeling a sudden rush of team spirit, looking at Rhia, Alexia, Tamiko, Selma, and the others, she raised her hand up, "Xanadu!"

[kain5252]

"To right Natalie. We really do need to stop being helpless so we can stop being the 'Sorrow Sorority'. Then we can be the sorority known as 'Warrior Women' or something else." Selma said, relieved Natalie was fine.

She hugged Natalie gently, her cheeks darkening, but let out a low sigh at the same time. Her life was getting more difficult all the time, and she had noone to talk to about it.

"I SEE TEH SHRINE!" Ramus shouted

"We all see the Shrine." Selma said, digging into her ear with a finger.

"Then I guess all your training was quite useless for that. Natalie sustained graver wounds than you and she's healed just as well despite working out considerably less."

The group moved after the fight, keepin gsharp eyes out on any violent foilage from that point on.

After another two hours, the forest parted slightly to show the ruins of Xanadu.



The city was easily the size of a big city back home. The walls were over 100 feet tall, as were the doors (what are left of them. Looks like something big with talons the size of small trees tore them down long ago).

"Great" Dean said dryly. "It sounds like the perfect tourist attraction. Did I not get a brocure or something? Cause I certainly didnt hear about it having such a...welcoming title."

"It's more of a history than a title," Hunter said. "Count the scorch marks and red stains we cross from this point in if you don't think the title was earned."

"We're almost done! Just promise we'll get through it all together, ja?" Feeling a sudden rush of team spirit, looking at Rhia, Alexia, Tamiko, Selma, and the others, she raised her hand up, "Xanadu!"

Rhia smiled. "Yeah," she whispered. "That's a promise, Natalie. Thank you."

I'll become stronger! Strong enough to protect everyone!

[GrampaGen]

Very well.


This land is all that remains of the once great land of Atlantis. However, other lands such as this have also passed before Time's Door. Name me four of Atlantis's sister lands, and you may pass. If you fail, yo udie.

Natalie went over possible answers in her head, then whispered one to the group.

"Thule. Thule is one of them."

[Vakanai]

"There is Mu and Lemuria for straters," Hunter offered upon hearing the question.

[Ghost]

Very well.

Rhia perked up. "I know those! Mu, Lemuria, Thule, and..." she frowned, racking her brain. "...Er, well..."

[Silver Knight]

Very well.

OOC: Ok that came out of left field, can I get a hint?

Ok didnt expect that

"Can I confer with my comrades, can you give me a clue?

[Yun Lao]

Natalie went over possible answers in her head, then whispered one to the group.

"Thule. Thule is one of them."

Deciding to add his own ideas into the pot, he too whispered, "Eden and Babylon perhaps?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Indeed, Mu, Lemuria, and Thule are correct. You must name another. Be warned, If you miss even once, I shall lay claim to the person who miss-guessed.

[Chou Blaster]

OOC: Who's got the highest intelligence stat?



OOC: I tihkn it is One to two,maybe 3. THe HIGHEST stat was Kill Cujo's character (Who ha schoosen to not rp here.) Adn that guy had a intell of 5.

[GrampaGen]

Deciding to add his own ideas into the pot, he too whispered, "Eden and Babylon perhaps?"

"No, Babylon was real, and Eden was purely metaphysical..." Natalie replied, scratching her head

[Ghost]

Indeed, Mu, Lemuria, and Thule are correct. You must name another. Be warned, If you miss even once, I shall lay claim to the person who miss-guessed.

Rhia fell silent. This obviously wasn't the time for wild guessing. If I could only remember...

[Vakanai]

OOC: My character has a 4 in intelligence.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Who's got the highest intelligence stat?


OOC: I think that's you and me :confused: I have a 3

[Froggy]

"Umm, yeah I think we have everyone Tamiko" Justin said then noticed everyone on the move. "Anyway, c'mon we dont want to get left behind" he said as he walked with her.



Justin gave a impressed whistle. "This place looks pretty awsome dont you guys think?". "it's ridiculously cool looking"

A wraithlike figure then appered in front of the gates. It wore a hood of darkness, and held up a skeletal hand, it's cloak shrouding it's face.


Halt, those who wish to enter Xanadu. Long has it been since any tried to enter these walls. You must answer my question to do so. If you fail, then I Darjek, Kepper of Precepts, shall not let you pass. Ever.
Ramsu felt the chilld own his back when he saw the Wraith
"To right Natalie. We really do need to stop being helpless so we can stop being the 'Sorrow Sorority'. Then we can be the sorority known as 'Warrior Women' or something else." Selma said, relieved Natalie was fine.

She hugged Natalie gently, her cheeks darkening, but let out a low sigh at the same time. Her life was getting more difficult all the time, and she had noone to talk to about it.



"We all see the Shrine." Selma said, digging into her ear with a finger.
Ramus qutied down and said to selma "sorry.just kind of excited"
Very well.


This land is all that remains of the once great land of Atlantis. However, other lands such as this have also passed before Time's Door. Name me four of Atlantis's sister lands, and you may pass. If you fail, yo udie.

*Crud, they named the three iknwo but.four? frigg"

[Silver Knight]

Deciding to add his own ideas into the pot, he too whispered, "Eden and Babylon perhaps?"

Kekowa whispered to the group. "Eden is a possibilty but highly doubtful. Babylon is out it never really dissapered just faded over time."

[Silver Knight]

"Ive heard of a english legend about an Island called Avalon, is that a possibilty?' Kekowa whispered again

[Ghost]

Kekowa whispered to the group. "Eden is a possibilty but highly doubtful. Babylon is out it never really dissapered just faded over time."

"Wait!" Rhia whispered. "What about El Dorado?"

"Ive heard of a english legend about an Island called Avalon, is that a possibilty?' Kekowa whispered again

"Was it actually lost, though?" Rhia asked. "I thought it was just, well, secret or something."

[Vakanai]

Hunter whispered, "what was the name of that mountainous kingdom near Tibet?"

[Tami]

Very well.


This land is all that remains of the once great land of Atlantis. However, other lands such as this have also passed before Time's Door. Name me four of Atlantis's sister lands, and you may pass. If you fail, yo udie.

Tamiko pondered this question, considering all of the civilizations that have been lost to time. Which of those cities, she wondered, would answer this question?

OT: To tired to come up with the answer right now. If no one else does by the next time I go online, I'm sure Tamiko will find an answer. Good night. :)

[Chrosis]

OOC: And I already have another monster for us to fight when the story stops moving along! :D

[GrampaGen]

Hunter whispered, "what was the name of that mountainous kingdom near Tibet?"

"Shangri-Lah? Metaphysical realm, like Eden, untouched by normal people...", Natalie whispered back.

This was racking her brains. Eleven years of Coven teachings and I can barely figure this one out, RRGH!

[Miburohunter929]

Ill show them who's got the smarts

"Yo Grim wanabe, over here"

Crap.

Dean hadnt had any interaction with Keko, But he knew others who had. His mind flashed back to the arguments between him and Xellos. He recalled Xellos' calm, diplomatic, and measured approach, in contrast with Kekos Impulsive, confrontational, and Hot headed way of life.

Dean didnt think he would like Kekowa very much, even if he did know him. But that wasnt the point. He didnt consider Keko to be an idiot, He just didnt get the same impression of brillance from Keko, that he did from Xellos, or Natalie, or possibly Hunter. It may be a stereotype, but bookworms like them should be right at home answering random trivia.

Of the people Dean would have chosen to answer the question, Keko would not be in his top five.

OOC: Dont take it personal, your awesome SK, It's just that random trivia dosnt seem to be Keko's field of expertise.

[The Dog]

"Shangri-Lah? Metaphysical realm, like Eden, untouched by normal people...", Natalie whispered back.

This was racking her brains. Eleven years of Coven teachings and I can barely figure this one out, RRGH!

"Avalon sounds good and El Dorado does too... But which one do we use?" Selma whispered, hoping the creature doesn't hear her.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

I grow weary. Name me another or suffer the consequences for trying to enter Xanadu, City of Tears.

[Vakanai]

OOC: And I already have another monster for us to fight when the story stops moving along! :D

OOC: :eek: :eek: :eek:
There's not enough demon magic in the world to get me near another Chrosis monster!

[Chou Blaster]

Hunter whispered, "what was the name of that mountainous kingdom near Tibet?"

"Ehhh that was a valley. We are doing cultures.."

Hyperborea is the "Northland" equalivent of Atlantis?

:And Daichi prays to Buddha that was a answer, otherwise.. Eeeep>:

[Yun Lao]

"Avalon sounds good and El Dorado does too... But which one do we use?" Selma whispered, hoping the creature doesn't hear her.

"Wasn't El Dorado just a city, not a land like the others?"

[GrampaGen]

"Avalon sounds good and El Dorado does too... But which one do we use?" Selma whispered, hoping the creature doesn't hear her.

"Well, of the two, only Avalon is an island," Natalie pondered,"but it appeared only after the descent of Atlantis."

[Vakanai]

"Shangri-Lah? Metaphysical realm, like Eden, untouched by normal people...", Natalie whispered back.

This was racking her brains. Eleven years of Coven teachings and I can barely figure this one out, RRGH!

"That was it. But then again it is still standing, isn't it?"

[GrampaGen]

I grow weary. Name me another or suffer the consequences for trying to enter Xanadu, City of Tears.

Natalie, answers and names half remembered racking her brain, shot off an answer impulsively.

"Baltia!"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: If a hint is needed, just ask.


Be careful though. You only get three hints/clues, and there are several more questions/puzzles/riddles inside Xanadu.

[Vakanai]

"Sunken Ry'leh or whatever can't be it, and it certainly isn't Leng," Hunter stated.

[Ghost]

"Wasn't El Dorado just a city, not a land like the others?"

"I was told it was an empire," Rhia argued.

[Silver Knight]

Crap.

OOC: Dont take it personal, your awesome SK, It's just that random trivia dosnt seem to be Keko's field of expertise.

OOC: Its cool Miburohunter, Im just fashioning Kekowa that way. He's goning ot evolve into a much more muture fighter as this continues. His Impulsive, confrontational and hot headed way of life was drummed into him, he's not going to shake it off over knight.

"So its between Avalon and El dorado. Personally I'd go with Avalon. El dorado seems more fake. 50/50 if anybody'd got a coin toss it."

[Chrosis]

OOC: :eek: :eek: :eek:
There's not enough demon magic in the world to get me near another Chrosis monster!

OOC: Turns out I lied. I now have a list of possible monsters. Thank God for Google. ;)

[Vakanai]

"Was Neverland ever a real island?" Hunter asked the group.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Free hint:


It is two words long and each starts with the same letter.

[Ghost]

OOC: Just to let you know, I'll be RPing both Rhia and Django from here on out.

[Vakanai]

OOC: Turns out I lied. I now have a list of possible monsters. Thank God for Google. ;)

OOC: I wonder if I can cannonize a classmate...

[FalconX2000]

OOC: I think that's you and me :confused: I have a 3

No, my intelligence stat is a 2. Its my actual intelligence that's the highest.

*Gets slapped with a humility court order.":D



OOC: Lomea, Lemuria, Rutas and Mu are the lost lands, but I'll let one of you guys take the RPG credit. Wiki rules...except Cleric seems to have something else in mind.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: Just to let you know, I'll be RPing both Rhia and Django from here on out.

That's fine with me, man.:)

Rhia suddenly blinked. "Wait a minute. It couldn't be... Kumari Kandam, could it?"

[Chou Blaster]

Edited; I tis menaingless, for the correct answe rhas been sated.

[Froggy]

"Does Rhia have it Wraith master?!

[Vakanai]

Rhia suddenly blinked. "Wait a minute. It couldn't be... Kumari Kandam, could it?"

"Where's that from?" Hunter asked, having never heard it before.

[Silver Knight]

No, my intelligence stat is a 2. Its my actual intelligence that's the highest.

OOC: Lomea, Lemuria, Rutas and Mu are the lost lands, but I'll let one of you guys take the RPG credit.
OOC: Ignore:D

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Rhia suddenly blinked. "Wait a minute. It couldn't be... Kumari Kandam, could it?"

The warithlike being stopped, then nodded.


Very well. You may enter. Be warned, though, there are other keepers inside, and each question is harder then the last......


The creature then vanished, leaving the pathway open.

[Ghost]

"Does Rhia have it Wraith master?!

OOC: You do realize that if I'm wrong, that thing will be going after Rhia, don't you? :eek:

[GrampaGen]

The warithlike being stopped, then nodded.


Very well. You may enter. Be warned, though, there are other keepers inside, and each question is harder then the last......


The creature then vanished, leaving the pathway open.

"Rhia you did it! Wunderbar!" Exclaimed Natalie as she patted her on the back.

"The eastern islands! Of course!"

[Ghost]

The warithlike being stopped, then nodded.

Very well. You may enter. Be warned, though, there are other keepers inside, and each question is harder then the last......

The creature then vanished, leaving the pathway open.

"Rhia you did it! Wunderbar!" Exclaimed Natalie as she patted her on the back.

"The eastern islands! Of course!"

"Wow," Rhia said, looking sheepish. "I can't belive it took me that long to think of Kumari Kandam. That should have been my first guess." ^^;

[Froggy]

The warithlike being stopped, then nodded.


Very well. You may enter. Be warned, though, there are other keepers inside, and each question is harder then the last......


The creature then vanished, leaving the pathway open.
"Man...more brainteasers? when do we get to hit something? Ramus asked. Although he wasn't dumb by any means, he was really aching to fight something again
OOC: You do realize that if I'm wrong, that thing will be going after Rhia, don't you? :eek: OT: I figured you were righ though.so yea. but if worse caem to worst, Ramus would have fought tooth and nail if the wraith took you

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Ok got to go to bed. GradpaGen if you would be so kind as to handle Kekowa in my stead again that would be nice. Just dont make him a jerk again:o

[Yun Lao]

The warithlike being stopped, then nodded.


Very well. You may enter. Be warned, though, there are other keepers inside, and each question is harder then the last......


The creature then vanished, leaving the pathway open.

He chuckled some with Rhia's stroke of brilliance, "Good job, Miss Rhia."

[Vakanai]

The warithlike being stopped, then nodded.


Very well. You may enter. Be warned, though, there are other keepers inside, and each question is harder then the last......


The creature then vanished, leaving the pathway open.

"Wait! Damn! I wanted to ask if he had any descendants or something. He looked familiar," Hunter mumbled to himself. I still think I must owe money or something.

[Miburohunter929]

The warithlike being stopped, then nodded.


Very well. You may enter. Be warned, though, there are other keepers inside, and each question is harder then the last......


The creature then vanished, leaving the pathway open.


As the Warith diaspeared, Dean wondered if the riddles would be solved quicker by punching the keepers in the face.

Usually, in his experiance, Alot of riddles had that as an acceptable answer.

[Yun Lao]

OOC: As much as I want to, I gotta go. Class is in the morning. Damn you college, damn you!

[The Dog]

"Rhia you did it! Wunderbar!" Exclaimed Natalie as she patted her on the back.

"The eastern islands! Of course!"

"Good going Rhia! You were brilliant!" Selma said with a wide smile, taking Natalie's hand in her's as she said "Come on Natalie, let's go before it decides to come back for another trivia round."

With that, she began leading Natalie into Atlantis.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Ok got to go to bed. GradpaGen if you would be so kind as to handle Kekowa in my stead again that would be nice. Just dont make him a jerk again:o

OOC: Okay then. Cya later!

Kekowa sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Ghostwriters. Yare-yare daze..."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

The inner courtyard wasn't much of anything, after entering teh main gates. However, once they got past the rubble, they saw the real Xanadu.



Vines and ivy had overgrown and broken at least 80% of every stone building in the First Sectrum (where you just entered). Only two 50 foot tall statues and two buildings looked evenly remotely safe. Three pathways led into other parts of the city, one to the north, one to the west, and one to the east.

[Ghost]

He chuckled some with Rhia's stroke of brilliance, "Good job, Miss Rhia."

Rhia grinned and looked embarassed. "I'm just glad I got it right."

"You heard him though," Django commented. "We're not done yet, so we better stay sharp."

[Chou Blaster]

" Kick ass Rhia!" :And well continues on via foot and steps thorugh the Gaes into the city.:

:The cold air, a wicked wind that seems ot chill the bone, as the palce was ancient and reeked of death and sorrow.:

"Wlel dman, no one funky ghost guardains would hang out here."

Editted:

"Damn this place goes three ways, where can we go? :Gritting his teeth an dpondering which way to go.:

[Ghost]

"This place smells like death," Django said in a low voice, keeping a hand on his sword. "It's not a place were the living are welcome."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: I'm calling it a night aswell. Please, stay in the First Sectrum for now (dark is falling anyways in Xanadu, so I suggest you find shelter. Night isn't pleasant in this place).


And no monsters! Only because I'll be back on in the morning and most of tomorrow (no work tomorrow) so I'll be continuing this right quick.:) But please, fell free to talk amongst yourselves.


Congratulations on getting by the first guy.


Night all!:)



P.S. I'm having a blast. Thanks for making this alot of fun, everyone.:)

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"This place smells like death," Django said in a low voice, keeping a hand on his sword. "It's not a place were the living are welcome."

OT: You have no idea..........

[Vakanai]

"This place smells like death," Django said in a low voice, keeping a hand on his sword. "It's not a place were the living are welcome."

"The living weren't so welcomed here back in the heyday of this place. Human sacrifices," Hunter said with a shiver. "At least if Toban's is to be believed."

[Miburohunter929]

Night all!:)



P.S. I'm having a blast. Thanks for making this alot of fun, everyone.:)

OOC: Night.

P.S Damnit! I was hoping you would curse me, and throw me out, banning me from every RPG you would ever write, because I'm such an ass.

Oh well.

[Vakanai]

OOC: Night Cleric.

[Chrosis]

OT: You have no idea..........

OOC: Could I make some random encounters? Please?

Because the only thing that's given this place a "57% chance of survival" rating was the Thorn Elemental. And the only reason they got past that was because there was a conveniently placed cliff there.

Heck, I was the one who put the Thorn Elemental there in the first place.

Lets go, Cleric! Make your fantastic forests live up to their hype! :D

[Chou Blaster]

"Wlel if we splti up, maybe faster to reach the SPire, I mean, it seems these things are all puzzles and traps. And I have faith that everyon e can figure them out. I mean chekc out Rhia, as she got us pass the gate. Te only quesiton is, how we split up and who takes where?"

I for one wish to head north. Who want s to go whre?


OOC: Hey I iwll rp this a smuch as possible but I am getting tired, and tomorrow my comupter ma y get a check up, so I may not be able to post at all tommorrw. ANd should this happen,t ake it amongst yourselves to dcide who mods me.

Also Ramon needs ot b emodded, and i did a crpapy job of that, at best i had him repel a thorn wave, once.

I'll stick around djust a tad more but then sleep.

[Ghost]

"The living weren't so welcomed here back in the heyday of this place. Human sacrifices," Hunter said with a shiver. "At least if Toban's is to be believed."

"You don't say?" Django muttered. "What a cozy place the teachers sent us to, eh?"

"Wlel if we splti up, maybe faster to reach the SPire, I mean, it seems these things are all puzzles and traps. And I have faith that everyon e can figure them out. I mean chekc out Rhia, as she got us pass the gate.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Rhia mumbled with a slight frown.

[GrampaGen]

"This place smells like death," Django said in a low voice, keeping a hand on his sword. "It's not a place were the living are welcome."

Natalie mused sullenly a verse from an old English poem she had heard before.

"In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea...."

Turning to Wei she asked, "Kublai Khan...was he not the king of an ancient dynasty?"

Kekowa in the meantime had walked about, observing the large vine-covered statues and the carved reliefs in the stone floor, which had since crumbled to wear and tear.

"So this is Xanadu. Heh." he scoffed, idly kicking a chipped piece of the old relief,"High culture, so overrated. All they got is a monument that'll be ignored forever."

[Vakanai]

Hunter walked off from the rest of the main group. He didn't think they would get much farther today, and he felt the need to be alone. He knelt underneath one of the giant statues. "Sup big guy? God I hate this," Hunter sighed with regret. He had barely placed his thoughts into that damned book, and now look! He was a friggin demon!
He was a demon...what did that mean? He felt change, but he didn't know how. His thoughts were so clouded now. Was he evil? And if so, in what ways? He didn't understand any of this. He couldn't even cry anymore. What was left of him that was human, and what was now devil?
He stared up at the twinkling stars that began to appear in the night sky. Were there any angels up there?
This was the worst second day of class, ever.

[Chou Blaster]

"You


"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Rhia mumbled with a slight frown.


" All I said was you save dus there. Literally you did with answering the question.." :OGOes ove rand speaks; I was giving you a compliment of your intellgience.

[FalconX2000]

Ramus whistled and asked "so anyone up for splitting up or naw?"


"seriously"

Xellos considered it,

"While scouting parties here may be appropriate, splitting up without knowing the exact location of the enemy is almost never wise."

"You don't say?" Django muttered. "What a cozy place the teachers sent us to, eh?"



"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Rhia mumbled with a slight frown.

"Yeah, I'm sure they have velvet padded iron maidens, silk nooses and nice warm fireplaces with skewered skeletons still roasting over them."

Xellos remakred cryptically, but with a touch of humour.

[Ghost]

Natalie mused sullenly a verse from an old English poem she had heard before.

"In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea...."

"Nice," Django said. "Though me thinks this is hardly the Xanadu Coleridge thought of." And then he read:

"The many men, so beautiful
And they all dead did lie
And a thousand, thousand slimy things
Lived on, and so did I..."

" All I said was you save dus there. Literally you did with answering the question.." :OGOes ove rand speaks; I was giving you a compliment of your intellgience.

"Oh." Rhia looked sheepish again. "Thanks. Heh."

[Miburohunter929]

Xellos considered it,

"While scouting parties here may be appropriate, splitting up without knowing the exact location of the enemy is almost never wise."



"Yeah, I'm sure they have velvet padded iron maidens, silk nooses and nice warm fireplaces with skewered skeletons still roasting over them."

Xellos remakred cryptically, but with a touch of humour.

"Heh" Dean said with a smirk. " Sounds like my kinda party."

[Chou Blaster]

"Nice," Django said. "Though me thinks this is hardly the Xanadu Coleridge thought of." And then he read:

"The many men, so beautiful
And they all dead did lie
And a thousand, thousand slimy things
Lived on, and so did I..."



"Oh." Rhia looked sheepish again. "Thanks. Heh."

"Your quite welcome princess."

:As he bows like a proper gentlemen.. Proceeds ot look at the horrible looknig statues.:

" I swear I want to knock the ugly out of them, but it will just piss fof the eivl spirits."

[GrampaGen]

"Nice," Django said. "Though me thinks this is hardly the Xanadu Coleridge thought of." And then he read:

"Oh! Herr Cu Sidthe! I haven't seen you since last night! Rarely have I ever found a fae so well read; how have you been holding up?"

[FalconX2000]

Hunter walked off from the rest of the main group. He didn't think they would get much farther today, and he felt the need to be alone. He knelt underneath one of the giant statues. "Sup big guy? God I hate this," Hunter sighed with regret. He had barely placed his thoughts into that damned book, and now look! He was a friggin demon!

He stared up at the twinkling stars that began to appear in the night sky. Were there any angels up there?
This was the worst second day of class, ever.

Xellos gave him half an hour, then followed.

He wondered whether he still deserved to be his guide, after what he had helped instigate. Yet...the demon had been exceptionally desperate to do what it did. It would never have been able to provide the sustained power source most demonic mages drew on. Eventually, he would have very likely delved into the book anyway, if for no other reason than to investigate why his powers were fading. And the same outcome would have occured. It was small comfort.

"Though your blood may be evil, your heart and mind are yours as long as you would hold onto them."

[Ghost]

"Your quite welcome princess."

OOC: You guys do realise that Rhia being a princess isn't common knowledge, right? I mean, I've taken great care not to actually have her mention it. ^^;

[The Dog]

"Yeah, I'm sure they have velvet padded iron maidens, silk nooses and nice warm fireplaces with skewered skeletons still roasting over them."

Xellos remakred cryptically, but with a touch of humour.

"Heh, funny. I mean, after fighting us themselves and sending us into this monster inhabited Hellhole, I'm afraid to know what they'll do to us for an encore." Selma said, a mirthless smile on her face as she looked around the area.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: You guys do realise that Rhia being a princess isn't common knowledge, right? I mean, I've taken great care not to actually have her mention it. ^^;

OOC: Shit, I didnt know Rhia was a princess Period. IC and OOC. :D

[Ghost]

"Oh! Herr Cu Sidthe! I haven't seen you since last night! Rarely have I ever found a fae so well read; how have you been holding up?"

"I'm not wounded," Django replied. "This place is giving me the creeps, though."

This was putting it mildly, in fact. Being fairy hound, his senses was both sharper then a human's and more attuned to the supernatural. The necromatic athmosphere of the dead city seemed to cling to him like tar. He shivered slightly.

OOC: It can be used as nick name, especially as to how she acts. He jus thpapen to hit a cord there and I met to do it on purpose.

Xellos gave him half an hour, then followed.

He wondered whether he still deserved to be his guide, after what he had helped instigate. Yet...the demon had been exceptionally desperate to do what it did. It would never have been able to provide the sustained power source most demonic mages drew on. Eventually, he would have very likely delved into the book anyway, if for no other reason than to investigate why his powers were fading. And the same outcome would have occured. It was small comfort.

"Though your blood may be evil, your heart and mind are yours as long as you would hold onto them."

"Small comfort," Hunter said, feeling downcast. "I'm not even sure if I still have my mind. Everything is so jumbled. I sense memories that I never had, and I know things I shouldn't, and I can't even make out what my beliefs are. Hunter stared at Xellos for a moment. "Have you ever defined who you were so well, you just knew it. No matter what, no matter the circumstances, the one thing you could count on was that you would always be you. And then to have that taken from you?" Hunter stared back up at the stars. "Even the stars change, with time. But they are not like us, lowly mortals though we may be. They have no identity, a star is a star is a star. But what of a man? A demon?"
Hunter shrugged sadly.

[GrampaGen]

"I'm not wounded," Django replied. "This place is giving me the creeps, though."

This was putting it mildly, in fact. Being fairy hound, his senses was both sharper then a human's and more attuned to the supernatural. The necromatic athmosphere of the dead city seemed to cling to him like tar. He shivered slightly.

She decided to sit next to him. Next to the various magi, the type of people Natalie felt most comfortable around were spiritual creatures. And indeed, her minor empathic powers picked up an apprehension towards the premises.

"You can see it too, ja? How the forest is alive, how the very ground breathes, while spectres roam in the silence?"

Django nodded. "The forest was one thing. I actually found it almost comforting to know it was a living entity. But this place..." he shrugged in discomfort. "...This place is unnatural."

A thousand, thousand slimy things, indeed...

[GrampaGen]

"Your quite welcome princess."

:As he bows like a proper gentlemen.. Proceeds ot look at the horrible looknig statues.:

" I swear I want to knock the ugly out of them, but it will just piss fof the eivl spirits."

Kekowa, still kicking stones across the floor, turned to see his countryman had a similar opinion.

"Nah, I don't think they're evil, Daichi-kun. They're just empty, ne? A monument to a life that met a less than poetic end as they hoped. Still, it is the memory, that imposing image, that will live on, long after what fools may haved perished."

He glanced over to Xellos in the corner, still wary of him.

"That's what they call a legacy."

[Froggy]

"Wlel if we splti up, maybe faster to reach the SPire, I mean, it seems these things are all puzzles and traps. And I have faith that everyon e can figure them out. I mean chekc out Rhia, as she got us pass the gate. Te only quesiton is, how we split up and who takes where?"

I for one wish to head north. Who want s to go whre?


OOC: Hey I iwll rp this a smuch as possible but I am getting tired, and tomorrow my comupter ma y get a check up, so I may not be able to post at all tommorrw. ANd should this happen,t ake it amongst yourselves to dcide who mods me.

Also Ramon needs ot b emodded, and i did a crpapy job of that, at best i had him repel a thorn wave, once.

I'll stick around djust a tad more but then sleep.
"I feel like splitting up be a good idea, not sure"
Natalie mused sullenly a verse from an old English poem she had heard before.

"In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea...."

Turning to Wei she asked, "Kublai Khan...was he not the king of an ancient dynasty?"

Kekowa in the meantime had walked about, observing the large vine-covered statues and the carved reliefs in the stone floor, which had since crumbled to wear and tear.

"So this is Xanadu. Heh." he scoffed, idly kicking a chipped piece of the old relief,"High culture, so overrated. All they got is a monument that'll be ignored forever."
"I find it kind of sad......all this stuff built and now they dead, kind of depressing to realize their secrets aint gonna be shared y'know?
Xellos considered it,

"While scouting parties here may be appropriate, splitting up without knowing the exact location of the enemy is almost never wise."



"Yeah, I'm sure they have velvet padded iron maidens, silk nooses and nice warm fireplaces with skewered skeletons still roasting over them."

Xellos remakred cryptically, but with a touch of humour.
Ramus shivered at that thought "kind of scary there"
"Small comfort," Hunter said, feeling downcast. "I'm not even sure if I still have my mind. Everything is so jumbled. I sense memories that I never had, and I know things I shouldn't, and I can't even make out what my beliefs are. Hunter stared at Xellos for a moment.

"You can see it too, ja? How the forest is alive, how the very ground breathes, while spectres roam in the silence?"

Selma she sat on the other side of Natalie, smiling slightly as she watched the gently crackling fire engulfing her hand. She turned her eyes to the side to look at the girl beside her, turning back to the magical fire engulfing her hand.

'Should I tell her... can I tell her... What if she doesn't feel the same... What if she hates me afterwards...' Selma thought, still looking to Natalie out of the side of her eyes, turning to look at the fire before Natalie could see her looking.

Natalie resumed her conversation with Django.

"Yes, certainly there exists something ethereal here. I am able to thin the veil between the physical and the astral, but like an eye looking into the sun, too much to look at is blinding."

She then turned and smiled at Selma.

"Oh! Django, here is my friend Selma! She is a...combat mage, was it? She uses chi, fire, and close combat, a more practically aimed magician, ja?"

[The Dog]

Natalie resumed her conversation with Django.

"Yes, certainly there exists something ethereal here. I am able to thin the veil between the physical and the astral, but like an eye looking into the sun, too much to look at is blinding."

She then turned and smiled at Selma.

"Oh! Django, here is my friend Selma! She is a...combat mage, was it? She uses chi, fire, and close combat, a more practically aimed magician, ja?"

Selma blinked, her eyes widening in surprise as the fire on her hand dispersed, turning to Natalie. Selma waved and said "Hi Django. And Natalie's right, I am a combat mage. It means I don't thin the veil between the physical and the astral in battle, but instead conjour up magical fire and use close combat to battle threats."

"And it's a pleasure to make your aquaintence Django." Selma added, still smiling, her mental conversation forgotten for the moment.

[Vakanai]

OOC: Off to bed now, nighty night, try not to get to far ahead, etc. etc.:)

"Oh! Django, here is my friend Selma! She is a...combat mage, was it? She uses chi, fire, and close combat, a more practically aimed magician, ja?"

"A pleasure to meet you, Selma," Django said, glad to get his mind of the phantom prescence that haunted to city.

Selma smelled nervous and a little bit excited, he realized, even though she appeared calm on the outside. Having noticed the glances she kept giving Natalie over and over again, he put two and two together and had to keep himself from grinning broadly. Well, well...

"And it's a pleasure to make your aquaintence Django." Selma added, still smiling, her mental conversation forgotten for the moment.

"I know a thing or two about combat magic as well," Django said and put a hand on his sword. "Though, I prefere a more 'hands on' approach, so to speak. However, I admit I have yet to master that particular aspect of my style."

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Turning in as well, cya tomorrow guys

Hunter shrugged sadly.

OOC: Great dialogue.:)

BTC:

Xellos sat down beside him.

"You know, things always seem the same to us whenever we look at them from a distance. If we could see each star, examine each pebble, we'd note the countless things that make them unique. We just group things together like stars or humans due to some shared common traits."

Xellos sighed,

"I've tried defining my personality a few times before, but I found that no matter what, the definition always turned out to be wrong. We change constantly, from day to day, building our character through each experience. Living according to an old idea of what we believe ourselves to be may be comforting for a time, but it is ultimately folly. We build and refine and demolish ourselves both unconsciously and as we see fit. Sometimes, shit happens that overwhelms us. Traumatising events like parents dying, witnessing brutal acts, demon corruption..."

He turned his gaze from the stars to meet Hunter eye to eye,

"You have undergone drastic changes today Hunter, and you're still reeling from the shock of it. Yet even during your darkest hour your character shines through. As you come to terms with what has happened to you, life will go on. You may find you have new interests, new needs, maybe even new personality traits you never had before. Some will be wonderful, some harmless, others hurtful. As long as you can distinguish which is which, know what direction you want yourself to go, your heart and mind are capable of overcoming whatever natural tendencies that would inhibit you. If even that becomes lost in the fog and storm, seek out those you hold close and listen to them. As far as I know, there is nothing love and trust cannot overcome emotionally, and nothing logic cannot overcome mentally"

OOC: Okay, I seriously can't keep this up. I had fun, though. See you guys later. :)

[Kholdhearted]

OC: Ok, what'd I miss?

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Hunters a demon now, We killed a Thorn elemental and five Wyrms, left the forest and are in some lost city/deathtrap, and Selma totally wants to make out with natalie.

Oh Kekowa totally hates Xellos. Who coincidently, is a total softie. :)

I think thats the important stuff.

"Well, I've mastered the combat part, but I'm still working on the magic part of it." Selma said, a small smile on her face.

Her smile fell as she noticed something strange overtake Django for a moment or two before it disappeared. 'What seems to be the problem with him?... He couldn't know, could he?' Selma thought, before shaking it off.

"Well, I do hope that me and you could get some sparring in later, Django. It'd be a most unique learning experience for the both of us, I'm sure." Selma said, still smiling.

OC: Did they still go through with the exorcism thing?

[Miburohunter929]

OC: Did they still go through with the exorcism thing?

OOC: Yep, that's why hunter ended up a demon, IIRC. Natalie wasnt up to snuff for the task, Xellos had Hunter try it out, it had unexpected side effects, so Hunter's emo,and Xellos feels bad.

[FalconX2000]

I'd roundly applaud this turn of events,if Xellos didn't have a slowly developing interest in her Natalie too .;) (well, slow by RPG standards anyway).

[Miburohunter929]

OC: Awesome, so where are Henry and Sirus now?

Well, the whole group travelled together here, unless I missed a post where Henry got tranported, So they should be with us.

You may want to ask Falcon if henrys M'kay. I think it worked, but my memory has diminished. :D

Yeah, Henrys' fine, Demon Hunter (sorry, couldnt resist) was way higher level than what was in Sirius (he's like a royal demon), so he banished it from Henrys' mind. We'll assume the brothers made some unmentioned contribution in the filler battle, like all absent characters.

"Sounds like we have a lot in common," Django said with a kind smile. "I would be honored to spar with you."

OOC: Ooh, Selma is...ahem...

OOC: You're noticing this now?

Hell, didn't Selma actually kiss Natalie a while ago?

You guys fail at lesbian subtext detection! :p

There did seem to be ALOT of hugging and crying going on...but some girls tend to do that. And its just the second day.

And Xellos likes Rhia alot. Friendly like.:p

Fortunately my work computer uses Opera, so I just keep the window open and refresh every now and then, so I'm on top of any new posts unless I'm really busy.

I'd never actually thought my character would be romancing in the RPG, but I guess that's the beauty of this open system.

Natalie stood up from where Xellos had left her, still shaken from the visage of the Rage Demon that was trapped in Henry's mind. There was a strange essence in the air of the living forest, as though a vacuum had grown in the shroud of life energy that radiated from it.

Then, she saw a devil manifest in the corporeal realm, something that should never happen naturally. It was extradimensional summoning. The only one who could have done that was...

"...Hunter?

OOC: Was going through old posts...what a breakneck pace this RPG as set.

Actually, Natalie was still draped over Hunter with Xellos in front of him at the time because he thought Hunter would need some human contact to ground him in the real world. So she wasn't sitting alone.

[Ghost]

And Xellos likes Rhia alot. Friendly like.:p

OOC: Just as well, I don't think he's really her type. ;)

[FalconX2000]

OOC: Just as well, I don't think he's really her type. ;)

OOC: Me neither. They make great partners and friends, and he loves her idealistic optimism, but I don't see any likely chemical reactions.


OOC: Damn, It's Selma V Daichi V Xellos.

In the game of love.

Pick your bets.

OOC: They'll have the first oppurtunity though. Xellos is somewhat aware he is attracted to her, but he doesn't have Natalies' crush. At present he's dealing with his own guilt over Hunter becoming a demon, trying to continue to be a good guide to him and be a good leader.

I was thinking I'd see whether it was appropriate in chapter 2 or 3, and I realistcally can't see Xellos acting on anything he may feel for her during this quest. So Selma, who is acutely aware she's attracted to Natalie and is itching to tell her, has the ball in her court for now.

Of course, all of this is assuming Natalie is willing to play ball.;)

GrandpaGen is already well aware of the Selma crush and hasn't steered his character away from it, meaning Natalie can be romanced. Either Natalie and my character get together, or we see lesbian magic girls. To be honest, I win either way.:D

Since children view this board too, and because I think Gordon or Watcher might intervene if things went to Ikki Tousen levels, and simply for the sanity of all involved, its best if there is nothing beyond PG-13.
