<Gwen> >> Jeal locks off all escape routes out of the tunnel. You're trapped.
* Arcus spins his sword around and grins. ^_-
<Sunny> Aww..
* Zeth loops around the other side or Arcus' hood.
* Remy growls and clenches his bo.
<Gwen> Jeal: Well, this has been fun, but enough is enough.
* Gwen twirls her spear.
<Gwen> Jeal: When I return, I expect to be peeling off dead bodies.
<Arcus> I don't know, I think we can drag a few more yucks out of the situation. ^_-
<Sunny> Dead Bodes! Euu..
<Gwen> Jeal: YOUR dead bodies.
<Gwen> Oh come OFF of it.
<Gwen> Jeal: Until then.
<Gwen> *Jeal warps away!*
* Arcus biihs Jeal.
<Remy> What a wuss..
<Zeth> *What an unpleasant man*
<Alen> So, um, what we gonna do about that? ^^;
<Adek> Damn! Jeal..
* Alen points at the weird monster thing.
<Remy> Hm? Oh....what we always do.
<Remy> Kick it's ass.
<Gwen> >> The clone is still there!! There is also something new you haven't noticed before. The 'pendant' it was wearing is now fused to its chest, and is glowing with a sickly green color...it appears that is fake as well!
<Gwen> Phoebe: ... Let's kill this thing!
<Arcus> We leap headlong into deaths's maw with a shit-eating grin on our faces? ^_-
<Gwen> >> The spit dribbles down the clones maw as it leaps at you!!
* Remy grins.

* Alexis lunges at the clone!
<Remy> Go Alex! Go Alex! It's your birthday! It's your party! If it isn't, do it anyways!
<Gwen> >> The clone snarls at Alex's approch, sounding more animal than man...
<Gwen> Urk...
<Remy> Careful, Alexis!
<Gwen> I don't want to touch that thing... -_-
* Remy narrows his eyes, concentrating.
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - 16 damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - 19 damage!
<Alexis> >> Sunny just stands there...
<Gwen> Sunny...go..oh nevermind...
<Remy> Sunny must be openin' dat book and a box a'toys..
<Gwen> Phoebe clasps her hands together, electricty running all over her body! She points at the clone, and snarls with fury unlike her. "Shock!"
<Alexis> >> Phoebe casts Shock! 180 Damage!
* Zeth flies off of Arcus' shoulder and hovers nearby.
<Gwen> Phoebe narrows her eyes, watching the clones every move...
<Sunny> Is your real name Dolly?
* Sunny stones the clone.
<Alexis> >> Sunny casts Stone! Fails!
<Sunny> You dont like my Stone?!
<Remy> Try again, petite..
* Sunny cries
<Gwen> Clone: *Growls loudly*

<Gwen> Phoebe: Hey!

<Alexis> >> Jade attacks!
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - 24 damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - 21 damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 3 - 15 damage!
<Remy> Hah!
<Gwen> Actually, Otto looks like a dog, Pottle looked more like a rabid moose.
<Remy> His IN breedin'..
<Arcus> Indeed ^_-
<Gwen> Pheobe: ....
<Alexis> >> Clone's Attack...
<Arcus> Sorry Pheobe, it helps me to concentrate on the task at hand, that's all ^_-
<Gwen> >> The Clone roars with a shriek that actually is threatening and attacks!
<Remy> !
<Gwen> Phoebe: !
<Adek> Hey now, folks. It's not Pottle's fault that he was a clone.. ok, sure, he was annoying, arrogant, rude, overbearing, disgusting, st- you know what? Nevermind.
* Remy brings his bo up to defend.
<Gwen> Whoa...
<Alexis> >> Clone gathers his Strength! Attack up 100! He lashes out at Phoebe!!
<Gwen> Phoebe screams!!
<Remy> Phoebe! Watch out!
<Gwen> Look out!!
<Sunny> Hoho!
* Gwen whaps Sunny on the head for saying ho-ho.
<Alexis> >> Phoebe takes 106 points of damage! Slain!!
<Arcus> Now there's gratitude for ya! All she did for him and he pulls this kinda stunt! Some people....
<Remy> Fuck.
<Gwen> Phoebe drops to the ground.
<Sunny> Ho ho to you too. :P
<Alen> Uh... *wince*
<Remy> Fuck fuck fuck.
<Gwen> She was your fiancee you shit!!!
<Gwen> Clone: ...
<Remy> Goddamn you pissant piece of white trash!
<Alen> This sucks. -_-
<Arcus> Bad dog!
* Remy tosses Arcus a newspaper :P
* Arcus grabs the paper. "Don't make me use this!"
* Gwen lashes out at the Clone. "Take this, you pissant piece of bloody duck excrement!!"
<Arcus> My, such eloquence. ^_-
<Gwen> ^_^ You know it!
<Remy> Mmm...just love a gal who speaks with such sexiness... ^_-
* Arcus chuckles and returns his attention to the clone.
<Alexis> >> Gwen attacks! Critical! 63 Damage!
<Remy> O_o
* Zeth bits Arcus, *Stop clowning around! This is serious!"
<Remy> Not bad...
<Gwen> Ha! Take that you so-called friend!
* Gwen leaps back!
<Arcus> Ouch.
* Remy leaps at the clone and lands crouched. He brings his bo around and smacks it loudly in the groin!
* Remy leaps back!
<Alexis> >> Remy Attacks! 10 Damage!
<Gwen> Clone growls like a girl. ;) Some things don't change... ^_^
<Arcus> Point taken Zeth, you are quite persuasive. ^_-
<Remy> Shit...dis guy have balls o'steel or somethin'? Eesh.
<Alen> I wonder if this thing has dreams..? ^^;
<Gwen> Well, at least he's growling like his momma.
<Alen> Well, anyway. ^_^
<Gwen> It WAS human at one point. Give it a try, Alen!
* Alen brings his palms together and points them at the Clone.
<Alexis> >> Alen casts Nightmare! 13 Damage!
<Gwen> er..humanoid...
<Arcus> Humanoid...ish. ^_-
<Alen> Oops ^^;
<Gwen> Elfin. ;P
<Remy> Elven.
* Remy raises an eyebrow.
* Gwen laughs.
<Alexis> >> Arcus melds with Zeth!
* Arcus holds out his hand to Zeth, "Zeth! To me!"
<Arcus> *Zeth is transformed into a streak of blue, green, and sliver light, and buries himself into Arcus' chest!*
* Arcus is transformed! He grows large luminous wings, and his features become more serpentine. His clothing changes as well, and takes on more of an Aztec look, with scale mail and feathers adorning his armor! **
* Arcus is now known as Zarthus
* Zarthus flies high into the air, like an avenging bird of prey...
* Zarthus snarls at the clone.
* Adek makes as if to lunge, but stops short, a bizarre look crossing his face.
* Adek hesitates for a second, then sighs, closes his eyes and briefly touches the flat of his sword to his forehead.
<Gwen> What is it, Adek?...Adek?
* Jade looks oddly at Adek.
<Alexis> >> Adek uses Kiai Slice! Hit% Up!
* Adek lowers his blade back into a fighting stance, eyes locked on the clone.
* Alexis attacks the clone! Attack 1 - 19 damage!
<Alexis> Attack 2 - 18 Damage!
* Sunny spikes the clone.
<Alexis> >> Sunny casts Spike! A whopping 2 damage!
<Sunny> Ya!
<Gwen> Something tells me magic doesn't work well on this thing...
<Gwen> But lightning did....
<Jade> Phoebe's magic seemed to work nicely.
<Sunny> Magic is all I got. :P
<Gwen> Pheobe is also his fiancee....er...sorta.
* Jade smiles savagely and makes a particularly deep cut in the clone.
<Alen> Phoebe's magic is also way more powerful than ours you know. ^^;
<Zarthus> ....
<Gwen> Phoebe lies dead on the floor O:)
<Alen> But... wait till I upgrade mine! =D
<Gwen> Upgrade?
<Gwen> Don't wanna know..
<Alexis> >> Jade Casts Wolf Cut! Critical hit! 44 damage!
<Adek> It's probably some weird thing, Gwen. You know, like how we can only walk in the four cardinal directions?
<Alexis> >> Clone's attack...
<Gwen> Yeah, it's gotta be...
* Remy pffts at the Clone!
<Gwen> Clone prepares another attack, it's black eyes gleaming in bloodlust...
* Remy drops his bo. "Nyah nyah nyah! The clone is a putz!"
<Alexis> >> The Clone utters a primal scream! Attack Power Doubled!
<Sunny> Whoaa!
<Remy> Putz putz putz!!!
<Alen> My ears. ;_;
<Alexis> >> The Clone attacks Alen!
<Alexis> >> Alen takes 235 damage! Slain!
<Gwen> Alen!!
<Alen> WAAH!
<Gwen> You attack him and kill him and I rip out your di--you know!
<Zarthus> (grrrr).....we must kill it now.....before it becomes too strong for us...(hsssss)
* Remy looks at Gwen.
* Remy flinches. :P
<Jade> Gwen, it's "dick", darling.
<Remy> !
<Remy> Fuck!
<Jade> ...
* Sunny starts sweeping up Alen.
<Gwen> I know. But we have kid...er nevermind, we don't now.
* Alen is thrown back against a wall and rebounds off to the floor... quite dead. X_X
<Gwen> This thing isn't a pushover...
<Adek> Damn.. look at the bastard go...
* Gwen raises her spear, the air growing colder, she directs the air to the clone! "Numb!"
<Alexis> >> Gwen casts Numb! Fails!
* Gwen growls.
* Remy chants lowly and his red eyes deepen in their color......red mist begins flowing his dark red eyes and Remy smiles almost evilly. "Here's where I cook your ass, mon ami!" He casts ¤Flame bolt on the Clone.
<Alexis> >> Remy casts Flame! 24 damage!
<Remy> Biiih.
<Gwen> ...
<Gwen> This thing is really strong.. -_-
<Jade> Brilliant observation.
* Gwen ignores Jade's comments.
* Gwen ignores them with a bitch like air!
<Alexis> >> Zarthus' attack!
<Zarthus> (hssss) Forget magic! This creature will only fall to force of armsss.....
* Zarthus spirals down at the clone, slashing furiously with his sword, shrieking in an inhuman voice!
<Adek> Looks like this bastard's designed well.. but you know what they say.
* Jade smirks with an equally bitch-like air!
<Remy> I ain't about to let no two bit freak assed bitch clone beat me..
* Sunny wonders how Remy's magic was better than hers.
<Alexis> >> Zarthus attacks the clone!
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - 30 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - 36 Damage!
* Zarthus swoops up and away from the clone, back towards the others.
* Adek lunges at the clone, slashing for its chest, then quickly reverses his blade, the next cut aimed at the stomach.
<Gwen> >> The clone drools even more, the spit almost looks acidic... O_o
<Remy> Grr...I wish I were stronger...damnit..
* Remy narrows his eyes more.
<Alexis> >> Adek attacks the clone!
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - 30 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - Critical 69 Damage!
* Alexis attacks the clone!
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - 16 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - 19 Damage!
* Sunny casts Vilkyss on Alen.
* Adek shakes his head. "I want to know what this clone's made of, anyway. He's taken more than enough to floor any of us.. and hell, he HAS floored two of us. This is bad."
<Gwen> No shit..
<Remy> You gonna give up, homme?
* Remy growls softly, crouched..
<Alexis> >> Sunny casts Vilkyss! Alen is revived with 9 Hp!
* Alen stumbles up.
<Alen> Heehee. @_@
<Adek> I'm discouraged, Remy. Not stupid.
<Sunny> You're alive Alen!
* Gwen smiles. O_o
<Alen> Am I? @_@
<Gwen> Get up, Al! This thing's not dead yet!
<Remy> Good..
<Alen> I feel kinda dizzy. =D
* Sunny places Alen's Rib cage back toghter.
<Alen> G-AACK!
* Remy twirls his bo..
<Sunny> It was messy!
<Gwen> Sunny, get Phoebe next, Okay?
* Jade flies at the clone again, slashing rapidly at its throat...
<Alexis> >> Jade attacks the clone!
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - 20 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - 23 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 3 - 20 Damage!
<Sunny> Oh yea! Phoebe died!
* Sunny starts to sweep up Phoebe.
<Alexis> >> Clone's attack...
* Gwen tenses.
<Gwen> >> The clone seems to smile savagely at you.
<Alexis> >> The Clone's muscles bulge, nearly breaking out of their encasing skin!
<Remy> Oh, thats fucking impressive.
<Remy> Goddamn mother fucking loser.
<Alexis> >> Attack power doubled! The clone attacks Sunny!
<Sunny> HEY!
<Jade> x_x
<Remy> Shiat.
<Alen> O_O
<Jade> Put some honey on its hot dog!
<Gwen> It's going after the mages!!
<Alen> Watch out, Sunny!
* Sunny ducks.
* Sunny puts honey on the clone.
<Gwen> Actually, that's pretty damn smart. O_o
<Alexis> >> Sunny takes 512 damage! Slain!
<Gwen> O_o Holy shit!!
<Remy> Fuck..
<Sunny> No more Reviving.. :P
<Adek> Are we.. damn..
<Jade> Gee...
<Adek> ..are we missing something? It doesn't make any sense to go for the mages when magic's hardly bothering it..
<Alen> Agh... -_-
* Jade sighs.
<Zarthus> If we must die, we will not go quietly.....(grrrrrr)
* Alen shakes his fist at the Clone
<Remy> I second Lizard Man's notion..
<Alen> Stop doing that, you overgrown mutant!!
* Gwen lashes out at the clone. "DIE!"
<Alexis> >> Gwen attacks! 30 Damage!
<Gwen> ....le sigh.
* Remy chants lowly and his red eyes deepen in their color......red mist begins flowing his dark red eyes and Remy smiles almost evilly. "Here's where I cook your ass, mon ami!" He casts ¤Flame bolt on Clone
<Alexis> >> Remy casts Flame! 28 damage!
<Remy> Come on....you pointy eared bioch..
* Gwen high fives Rem. ^_^ "You tell 'em!"
* Adek narrows his eyes, watching the clone, and mutters. "I wonder.."
* Remy blinks and returns the highfive.
* Zarthus swoops in low, moving quickly, hugging the ground. Then at the last moment, turns and slashes its sword along the clone's underbelly, then curves up and around the clone to drive its blade into the clone's back!
<Remy> Get 'im, Arcus!
<Zarthus> Die you abomination!
<Gwen> Listen to Big Bird!
<Alexis> >> Zarthus attacks the clone!
<Adek> Hey.. anybody! That lightning spell Phoebe nailed him with seemed to bother him a lot.. think it was just the fact it was her, or maybe this bastard has an adversion to lightning?
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - 36 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - 30 Damage!
* Zarthus swoops back into the line-up.
* Adek decides it can't hurt to try, and holds his sword low, building up a static charge.
<Remy> Fucking goddamn clone!
* Adek swings his blade, sending a jolt of lightning at the clone.
<Alexis> >> Adek casts Shock! 20 Damage!
<Gwen> I know his weakness. ^_^ Call him Pot-hole.
<Remy> Yo' momma so fat that when she jump into de air, she get stuck!
<Remy> Yo momma's armpits so hairy that she look like she got buckwheat in a headlock!
<Gwen> POT-HOLE you fat piece of Poophole you are a pothead Potty Pinkybow!...well that was childish.
<Adek> Do we really want to make him MADDER, people?
* Alen points his index finger at the Clone, some lightning bursts beginning to form and collide on the tip...
* Alen lets go a nasty blast of electricity at Clone! "Shock!"
<Alexis> >> Alen casts Shock! 18 Damage!
<Gwen> Clone: *Growl...*
<Alen> That didn't work either... >=|
<Zarthus> ......
* Adek sighs. "Nevermind. That was a waste.."
<Gwen> >> The Clone narrows it's eyes at Gwen..
<Gwen> Heheheh. ^^:
<Remy> You so fat that when you were...uhm..grown....you were baptized at Seaworld!
* Alexis attacks the clone!
<Remy> Hey, clonie boy! Pot-hole!
* Remy absent mindedly tries to draw the clone's attention from Gwen. -_-
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - Critical! 30 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - Critical! 32 Damage!
<Sunny> I'm dead. :P
<Remy> Hey! Pottsie Pinkybow!
<Remy> Yoooohooo! You moldy pipe licker!
<Alexis> >> Jade attacks the Clone!
* Jade drives her claws into the clone's stomach, twisting upwards into its innards.
<Gwen> >> The clone has no innards O_o
<Alexis> >> Attack 1 - 17 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 2 - 20 Damage!
<Alexis> >> Attack 3 - 22 Damage!
<Gwen> Is this thing dead yet?
<Remy> You worthless sack of donkey cum!
<Gwen> Like...even close to dead?
<Alexis> >> The Clone Collapses!
<Gwen> Cuz if it's not I'm going to have issue ...YEAH!!
<Gwen> YEAH!!
<Adek> Does it LOOK close to.. nevermind.

== VICTORY! ==


* Jade grins!
* Zarthus howls with victory!
<Alexis> >> Clone: GRHYYYYAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
<Remy> 'bout time
<Jade> About fucking time.
* Zarthus lets loose with an inhuman cry, and Zeth is expelled from Arcus's body.
* Arcus land on the ground with a smirk.
* Remy kicks the clone's head.
<Alexis> >> The Clone Explodes!!!
<Remy> O_o
* Remy yelps.
<Gwen> O_o Oh boy, this is gonna cost me..
<Arcus> Hey that was....yow!
<Remy> I only kicked it's head!
<Remy> Eesh!
<Alen> Whew ---
<Gwen> >> The explosion reaches you! O_o
<Alexis> Adek takes 324 Damage!
<Jade> O_o
<Gwen> Oh fuck! O_o
<Alexis> Alexis takes 433 Damage!
* Jade ducks.
<Alen> Oopsy. O_O;
<Alexis> Alen takes 877 Damage!
* Arcus turns away from the explosion and protects Zeth with his body.
* Adek gracefully sails through the air, off the wall, onto the ground. Nothing but net.
<Alexis> Arcus takes 400 Damage!
<Gwen> Arc!!
<Alexis> Gwen takes 404 Damage!
<Remy> Gwen!!
* Gwen sh...er...she doesn't do anything but flop. ^_^
* Arcus slams very hard into the far wall and collapses, his limbs at very unnatural angles.
<Alexis> Jade takes 390 Damage!
<Remy> Ah shit!
<Alexis> Remy takes 394 Damage!
<Remy> YAAAAAAAARGH!!
* Remy dies.
<Arcus> *Zeth lies next to Arcus, his tiny body shattered from the impact*
<Gwen> >> You all die.....and the world becomes black...
* Remy's voice pipes up. "Anyone got a nightlight?"
* Remy dies again.
<Gwen> >> Until you feel something warm and conforting over you.
<Gwen> >> A healing spell...
<Gwen> >> You all awaken to see 2 women towering over you. One is Sabrina, the other you can't recognize right away.
<Remy> Mmm?
* Gwen groans...
<Gwen> Phoebe mutters..
* Arcus groans.
<Remy> Argh..
<Remy> Fuckin stupid clone..
<Gwen> Woman: Good, my potion worked...
<Alen> Wuh... x_x
* Adek slowly opens his eyes. "What.. the hell.. just hit us."
<Arcus> Urgh......unsettling trend.......
<Sunny> Hola!?!
<Gwen> Woman: The clone's explosion...
<Remy> Who're you?
<Arcus> Zeth: *Ow.....that about sums it up*
* Sabrina looks at everyone. "What are you guys doing on the floor?"
<Gwen> Woman: Er...sorry.
<Alen> I feel... like I was ripped apart... again... -_-
* Gwen sits up.
<Remy> We're having a slumber party, Sab.
<Arcus> Its comfy here........
<Remy> Whaddaya think?
* Remy sits up also.
<Sabrina> Really? And I wasn't invited?!
* Adek doesn't bother moving. "Well.. lying here sure beats standing up."
* Zeth bites Arcus. *Wake up you zeeb!*
* Sabrina mutters. "Jerks."
<Gwen> Woman takes off her cowl, to reveal herself as....Teefa O_o. But something is different...she doesn't look quite as ditzy as she used to..
<Remy> Lovely..
<Remy> Xena and Gabrielle..
<Gwen> Teefa: You're lucky I got here when I did...any longer and I wouldn't have been able to revive you...
* Alen shakes his head and sits up.
* Remy lies back down.
<Arcus> Ow! All right, all right, I'm up......
<Alen> Heeheehee. ^^;
* Arcus grumbles and sits up.
<Gwen> Phoebe cracks her neck, and whimpers.
<Alen> Destiny does seem to look down upon us ^_^
<Gwen> How did you know about the clone...?
<Arcus> *Zeth loops himself around Arcus' neck again.
<Adek> We're grateful. Really. We might even act it, if our ears ever stop ringing.
<Remy> Destiny can suck my co-...nevermind.
* Sabrina picks up a small mechanical piece. "What's this?"
<Gwen> Teefa: I've got some explaining to do...unfortunately...
* Remy sits up again and stumbles to his feet..
* Gwen looks at it. "Our bomb. Don't touch it."
<Arcus> Oh yeah.....we came with a bomb didn't we?
* Sabrina's eyes go wide and she throws it far away from her.
<Gwen> Teefa: Sit down....and listen up..
<Gwen> Teefa: I haven't been very honest with you.
* Arcus listens......what else is there to do
* Remy remains standing, just to be a rebel. :P
<Gwen> Teefa: The Teefa you met earlier was an act.
<Gwen> O_o An act?
* Adek half scrambles, half dies to grab the bomb before it hits the floor.
<Arcus> Apparently. ^_-
<Remy> So why were you acting, Teefa?
<Gwen> Wait..
<Arcus> *Zeth whispers to Arcus.
<Gwen> Teefa: Take a guess.
* Alen starts looking uncomfortable.
<Remy> Uhm....uhm...uhm..
<Alen> You had your own agenda? ^^;
* Adek sits up, and watches Teefa.
<Gwen> You worked for the empire, didn't you?
<Gwen> Teefa: ...Yes...and no.
<Arcus> You sound confused. ^_-
<Gwen> Teefa: I orignally started out, along with my sister, as a general in the Danek army. Our Job was to keep an eye on Sandor, and make sure that he didn't find out about the Danek's recent plans.
<Arcus> Hah, everybody's a Danek in disguise! I knew it. ^_-
<Gwen> Teefa: But we began to see things...
<Remy> I ain't no Danek.
<Gwen> Teefa: Little things...the way the empire treated it's people...and that Jeal was simply using us.
* Adek grabs his sword off the ground, and angrily shoves it into its scabbard. "The empire doesn't give a damn about people.."
<Gwen> Teefa: Gwen, among all of us...knows of this propaganda that sucks us in. Odessa and I kept Jeal under the impression that we still were working for him, but...
* Gwen sighs.
<Gwen> Teefa: We were about to help Prince Sandor and tell him the Empire planned to attack...but my sister...she must have been lured back.
* Remy places a hand on Gwen's shoulder.
* Gwen looks at Remy sadly.
* Arcus grins.
* Remy tries to smile reassuringly. ^_^;
<Alen> Um... oopsie.
<Gwen> Teefa: This clinched it. The empire only uses it's people. Jeal doesn't give a damn about my sister...
<Arcus> Heh.
<Gwen> Teefa: But....We knew...me and my sister, that a clone was made of one of the former heroes....we had no idea it was your friend...or rather, I didn't...until it was too late.
<Gwen> How did you know in the first place?
<Gwen> Teefa: Phoebe, the way she was talking about him. Jeal can make a clone, but he can't make them perfectly. Most of the flaws are in their character...
<Gwen> Teefa: When you look back on it, Pheobe, the clone and the real Pottle were almost opposites...
<Gwen> Teefa: Am I right?
<Arcus> I wouldn't know. ^_-
<Gwen> Phoebe: I...I guess so...
<Gwen> Phoebe: Yes...you're right. They were.
<Gwen> Teefa: My guess is this...first....you also might have noticed the Pendant was fake as well? This was simply to keep Katarina at bay.
<Alen> ...?
<Alen> So- what about the real one?
<Gwen> Teefa: To keep Katarina running about as a headless chicken while the empire has the real thing. They want that pendant as much as she does.
<Adek> That would explain why the Pottle clone couldn't stick the two halves together..
<Gwen> Teefa: Which gives me the impression....that is he is alive...
<Arcus> Daneks around every corner, clones of noseless elves, false pendants, what's the world coming to? ^_-
<Gwen> Phoebe brightens.
* Gwen snickers.
<Gwen> Teefa: But as to where he is...I can't tell you...
<Gwen> Teefa: No doubt they're going to try to use him as a weapon...
<Arcus> *Zeth bites Arcus again.
<Arcus> Ow!
<Gwen> Use him as a weapon? O_o
<Gwen> How can they pull that off? O_O
<Alen> We'd better get it... that and the rest of the Orbs!
<Remy> A weapon?
<Remy> Funky shit..
<Gwen> Teefa: They did it to Elynthia years ago. They'll do it to him.
<Gwen> Teefa: But we have one good thing on our side!
<Gwen> Teefa: If you think about it, Pottle would have no knowledge of the pendants true power, because he was never AT the River of Time and memory...his clone was...so we have time!
<Arcus> Good look and fabulous talent? ^_-
<Gwen> She's got a point!
* Remy snickers.
<Gwen> Teefa: And we --
<Gwen> >> A woman soldier walks into the room. "Lt. Teefa, I have some great news!"
<Gwen> Teefa: What is it?
* Remy raises an eyebrow.
<Arcus> Gee.....impeccable timing on the part of the staff. ^_-
<Gwen> >> The woman and Teefa talk in hushed tones for the moment...
<Gwen> >> Leaving you guys to talk on your own. ^_^
<Remy> Heh..
<Gwen> Phoebe: ... He's alive...
<Gwen> Phoebe hangs her head....
<Gwen> Phoebe....
<Alen> Gee, um, I'd never ever have imagined somebody could act and fool all of us while planning something else, huh? ^^;
<Arcus> Hrmph....well well well.....
* Remy frowns..
<Arcus> You'd almost think that we weren't as smart as we thought we were, eh? ^_-
* Gwen thinks. "Well, it was a pretty damn good plan of Jeals. Almost got us killed."
* Remy rubs the back of his neck and sighs.
<Gwen> And it gave him time to tinker with the real thing...
* Adek nods. "This whole race for the pendant, for the orbs.. is it really even necessary?"
<Gwen> It is if the empire uses them....
<Sunny> And we're in the middle of it.
<Alen> You'd be surprised Adek. -_-
<Gwen> It's a whole war for power...and Sunny's right..we're in the middle of it...
<Arcus> I don't know about you, but if we're dealing with the Armor of Vay, we shouldn't take any chances.
<Adek> What I'm saying is.. do we really have to stop the entire empire? The biggest monster, if you cut off it's head..
<Gwen> We might possibly be the only ones who can stop it..
<Sunny> Why cant we just love each other and have peace?
<Gwen> Because this is real life, Sunny.
<Sunny> Darn..
<Gwen> Teefa: WHAT?
* Remy looks crestfallen for a moment
<Gwen> Teefa: I--I see. You're excused....please leave us...
<Remy> Hm?
<Gwen> >> The woman leaves, and Teefa seems agitated...
* Alexis looks at the repeating patterns on the ground and walls...
<Gwen> Teefa: Shit...
<Alen> What happened?
<Gwen> I thought this was good news...
<Gwen> Why the profanity...
<Gwen> Teefa: Sandor supposedly came back to Lorath.
* Sabrina plays with one of her claws while sitting on the floor.
<Gwen> Teefa: But I know the truth. His caravan was hijacked while travelling to Fort Gilan, and taken to Ossyk...the Empire...
<Gwen> What are you saying?
<Gwen> Phoebe: ?
<Alen> Oops. ^^;
<Gwen> Teefa: Think. What could I be saying? Isn't it a little farfetched that Sandor would be able to escape and come back to his kingdom in a week?
<Remy> ....he's with them?
<Gwen> Teefa: Close...but no...
<Gwen> Teefa: More like Pottle isn't the only clone they made...
<Gwen> You're kidding me.
<Gwen> Teefa: A puppet government...
<Gwen> Teefa laughs. "And the people have no clue."
<Gwen> Teefa: It has to be killed.
<Alen> I guess we should go to Lorath then, right? ^_^
<Gwen> Teefa: I would be a good thing. He might reveal where the real Sandor and Pottle are.
<Gwen> Teefa: And anyone else they might have cloned....god, I feel like I'm in some horrible sci-fi flick...
<Gwen> You're telling me...
<Arcus> Those wacky Daneks. ^_-
<Gwen> Gah...
<Alen> Let's go! ^_^
<Gwen> Um...wait.
* Gwen picks up the bomb.
<Remy> Erh..
<Gwen> Don't forget our original mission.
<Gwen> Phoebe: I'm coming with you...but where can we get a boat to Lorath?
* Alexis looks at two identical torches in the wall. "Curiouser and curiouser..."
* Remy saunters over to Alexis. "What's 'dat?"
<Gwen> Teefa: Shadhook, but that's too far...and we don't have enough time to backtrack...we might be able to go up the river in Mortyr...
<Adek> I want to know one thing before we go.. this mad chase that's leading us everywhere... it'll take us to Issak, and Jeal, eventually, right?
<Gwen> Teefa: Of course.
<Alexis> Hmmm? Oh... these torches... look at them...
* Arcus spins around and jumps to his feet.
<Gwen> Alex...this really isn't the time...
* Remy studies the torches..
<Alexis> How their flame repeats, and is in complete unison...
<Remy> Hey.. O_o
<Remy> You're right!
* Adek nods, apparently satisfied. "All right, then. Good enough for me."
<Alexis> Sorry, Gwen. ^_^;
<Arcus> Hay is for horses. ^_-
<Gwen> Teefa: Oh...you're noticing that too, Alex?
* Remy blink blinks.
<Alexis> Yeah... really freaky stuff...
<Gwen> Teefa: I also noticed the clouds are always the same shape, and float around at the same speed.
<Alexis> And how they all kinda repeat too.
<Alexis> Whatta world...
<Adek> Look at the floor.. doesn't it seem sectioned off into little squares..?
<Gwen> Phoebe: I kept seeing "It's a dead man's party." Over and over again when the clone hit me...
<Arcus> You know what this means of course....we're in a box! A myyyystical maaagical box....wooooooooo ^_-
<Remy> Hey...what if we're not really here? What if we're just being controlled by real people in a man-made game?
* Remy rubs his chin.
<Gwen> ....
<Gwen> Um..
<Gwen> Can we go now?
<Alen> Come on you guys, let's go. ^_^
<Remy> Errh, right!
<Adek> How long was that bomb's timer, Gwen?
<Gwen> Teefa nods. "That room right up there should be a prefect place to drop the bomb."
<Adek> Five minutes, was it?
<Gwen> Yep.
<Alen> 30 seconds?
<Arcus> Thank you ladies for the tour of the magic box, but we have to go blow up somebody's house now. ^_-
<Sunny> Whee! Bobomb!
<Gwen> >> You head up to the room at the end of the hall. It's a small storage room.
<Adek> ..we'll have to be sure we can get out in five minute, then.. we can't from here.. not with that staircase...
<Remy> Wicked..
* Gwen sets down the bomb...
<Gwen> Get ready....
<Gwen> I'm gonna hit the switch..
* Remy gets ready to go.
* Gwen hits it!!!
<Gwen> RUN!
<Arcus> Can we stay and watch it go off? ^_-
* Remy dashes off!
* Alexis is off like a shot!
* Sunny looks at it.
<Arcus> Oh poo. ^_-
<Adek> Gwen! We don't ha-.. shit!
* Alen follows. ^_^
* Adek runs for it.
<Gwen> >> The party runs to the end of the hall! 30 seconds have passed!
<Gwen> >> The stairs lie before you!
* Arcus hurries after the others, cackling!
<Remy> Nnh....this is fucking sucking!!!
<Gwen> Run you sissies!!
<Gwen> Phoebe huffs and puffs!
<Adek> It took more than five minutes to go DOWN these things.. we're screwed!
<Remy> Watch who you're callin a sissy, bizznitch!
<Gwen> Hah! ^_^
<Arcus> Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup.......
* Remy runs faster.
<Gwen> >> The party makes it up the stairs. Two minutes have passed! O_o
<Gwen> Ha! We made it up faster this time!
* Alexis has no trouble keeping up. "This is a snap..."
<Remy> Are we there yet?
<Alen> *wheeze
* Can we take a break? @_@
<Adek> Here's to adrenaline, huh?
<Gwen> No!
<Remy> ....
<Remy> Are we there yet?
<Alexis> ...You haven't really run until you're fleeing from an entire army...
<Gwen> >> You come to the room with all the acid vats! Run!
<Alen> Oh pooh. ;_;
<Gwen> >> The catwalk is ahead!
<Arcus> Last one to the exit is probably dead! ^_-
<Remy> Oh fuck...the catwalk..
* Alen runs as fast as he can.
* Alen screeches to a stop.
<Arcus> Woo hoo!
<Gwen> Alen!!
<Alen> Woo. O_O
<Gwen> Come on!
* Gwen picks him up and runs, dragging behind the others.
<Alen> Thank you. ^_^
* Remy runs fast, walls whizzing past him..
<Gwen> >> You make it past the catwalk. One minute has passed. 1:30 is left!
<Remy> This...su....sucks....oh man..
* Arcus crosses the catwalk. "o~ I am a lineman for the county.....o~"
* Alexis skips across the catwalk. :P
<Alexis> A sinch!
<Gwen> >> You see the stairs before you, the ones leading into the church.
<Gwen> >> Gwen seems to be lagging far behind you, with Alen.
<Alen> Can you let me down now? I can still run. ^^;
* Gwen lets Alen down.
* Alen plops down on the floor and gets up, starting to run again.
* Remy slows lightly and glances past his shoulder to see where people are..
<Gwen> >> You reach the church....30 seconds have past! Run to the outside area!!
<Remy> O-oh...fu-uck....this...argh..
<Arcus> o~ Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care...Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care.......o~
<Gwen> Phoebe: Al-most there!!!
<Alen> *hack
* *wheeze
* *puff
* I'm gonna die! O_O
<Remy> Shut up, Arcus!!
<Gwen> >> You reach the outside area, thirty seconds to spare....
<Arcus> Oh but why? Jogging is so invigorating. ^_-
<Gwen> Rohan: You made it!...
<Adek> ~I'm.. going to break.. Arcus's nose.. and I don't care.. I'm going to break..~
<Arcus> No we didn't! ^_-
<Gwen> Natalya: That's great...but... O_o Hey where's Gwen?!
<Remy> Heh...heh heh..
<Remy> Gwen?
* Remy spins.
<Remy> Gwen!
* Alen falls down splat on his face.
<Gwen> >> Gwen isn't there! O_O
<Arcus> Hey, now we have an excuse to go back! ^_-
* Remy growls and runs back to the place!
<Gwen> Natalya: O_O Where is she?! There's only 15 seonds left!!..
<Arcus> Woo hoo!
<Gwen> Natalya grabs Remy. "NO!"
<Alexis> You crazy maniacs! Come back!
<Alen> ... hadn't run like this in... *puff
* 600 years...
<Remy> Lemme go, god damnit!
<Gwen> Natalya holds him back. "Don't you dare!"
* Remy struggles.
<Remy> LET ME GO!!
<Gwen> Natayla: Don't you get killed too!
<Remy> GWEN!
* Remy struggles like a man possessed.
<Arcus> Gwen, stop hiding you rascal! ^_-
<Gwen> >> You see Gwen rushing out of the Church, as the bomb explodes.. O_o Unfortuantely, the momentum of the bomb sends her flying and hitting a pile of boxes. O_o
<Remy> !
<Arcus> There she is. ^_-
* Remy shoves Natayla away.
<Gwen> Natalya lets him go.
* Remy runs to where Gwen is. ^_^;
<Remy> Shiiiiiittttt..
<Gwen> Uggh...
<Remy> Gwen?
<Gwen> Wha...
<Gwen> Er....Remy...?
* Remy lets out a sigh of relief..
* Arcus walks over to Gwen. "Hiya big stuff, just had to see it close up, didn't you?" ^_-
<Remy> Damn, girl....scarin' me like that...
<Gwen> Natayla: How many fingers am I holding up?
<Gwen> Ummm.......69...
* Gwen faints.
<Remy> Ah, fuck.
<Arcus> Ah....she's fine. ^_-
* Remy sighs.
<Remy> Shit..
<Gwen> Phoebe: I think she'll be okay....
* Remy picks Gwen up in his arms. ^_^;
<Gwen> Phoebe: Remy...?
<Remy> ....
<Arcus> So, what do we do for an encore? ^_-
<Remy> She'll need rest.
<Gwen> Phoebe awws. ^_^ "You like her, don't you?"
* Remy coughs..
* Alen walks on in.
<Gwen> Rohan: Thank you so much for what you've done....who's this?
<Gwen> Teefa: Lt. Teefa from the Lorath Army.
* Remy mutters and brushes some hair from Gwen's face. ^_^;
<Gwen> Phoebe smiles at Remy. ^_^
* Arcus does a quick backflip, lands on his knees and raises his hands and face to the sky, "Heeeyyyaaaaa!" :D
<Gwen> Rohan: Teefa. It's is good to see you here. Is there anything I can do for you in return?
<Arcus> I don't know about you all, but I feel great ^_^
* Adek stares at Arcus. "That's disgusting. How can you be so... so.."
<Remy> ...I'm sure Gwen feels just lovely, Arcus.
<Gwen> Teefa: Actually -_- ...can we have a boat to take us to and from Lorath?
* Remy mutters darkly, looking worried. -_-
<Gwen> Rohan: I don't see why that wouldn't be a problem.
<Arcus> Hey, we stared death in the face, spit in his eye, and came back from it. I'd say we did pretty good. ^_-
<Gwen> ...
* Remy mutters down at Gwen. "You'd better be okay or I'm gonna whup your sexy ass."
<Gwen> Teefa: Great. We'd like to go out from Mortyr. The sooner the boat is ready, the better.
<Gwen> Phoebe: Sexy? ^_^
* Arcus chuckles and wanders off a bit.
* Remy looks at Phoebe. :P
<Gwen> Rohan: It'll be ready by the morning. We'll meet you there. Just go past the ruins of Mt. Bole, and ..
<Gwen> Teefa: I know where the town is, thanks.
<Gwen> Phoebe: ^^;
* Remy mumbles and nods in Phoebe's direction. ^_^;
<Gwen> Teefa: Let's go, everyone. Are you with me on this...or am I killing off clones all by my lonsome?
* Remy hugs Gwen closer and sighs, worried more. ^_^
<Remy> Nah...we live to get our asses whupped.
<Gwen> Phoebe: I'm with you.
* Remy grins idly..
<Gwen> Phoebe: The sooner I find him...
<Gwen> Phoebe looks worried...
<Adek> We're with you, Teefa. ANYTHING to hurt the Daneks. ANYTHING.
<Remy> This boat thing had better have someplace soft to put this girl on.. :P
<Gwen> Teefa: O_o....Oh yeah...you're from Hayhill...no wonder you want their hides so badly...
* Adek nods. "Yeah."
<Gwen> Teefa: Don't worry...we'll get them.
<Alen> I think I'll stick with you guys for a while longer. ^_^
<Gwen> Teefa gets up and walks off toward the large mountain in the west...
<Remy> Always good to have you, Alen.
<Arcus> *Zeth flits back to the group looking positively miffed, and alights on Remy's shoulder, looking at Gwen.
* Remy glances at Zeth..
<Gwen> Phoebe: Can you carry her, Remy?
* Remy murmurs to Zeth. "She'll be fine."
* Remy nods to Phoebe.
<Remy> As far as it takes. ^_^;
<Gwen> Phoebe awws.. ^_^
<Arcus> Zeth: *I know.....*
<Gwen> >> You walk towards the mountain to the west...actually, it's more of a rubbly hill..
<Gwen> Teefa: The ruins of Mt. Bole...
* Remy carries Gwen quite easily..
<Gwen> Teefa: Man...
<Remy> Chere don't seem very heavy...hmmph....need ta eat more..
* Remy mumbles random things. :P
<Gwen> Teefa grins at Remy. "You like her, don't you? ;)"
<Remy> Damnit.
<Remy> Yes, are you all happy now?
<Gwen> Phoebe: ^_^ yes! Ask her out!
* Remy groans.
* Arcus wanders behind the group, whistling a cheery tune.
<Remy> She don't seem de type, Phoebe.
* Adek looks at the unconscious Gwen, then at Remy. "Best of luck, Remy. Best of luck."
<Gwen> Phoebe: Maybe a lot of people though that, Remy...maybe she's just lonely..
<Arcus> Zeth: *Ask her out Remy*
<Remy> .....
<Arcus> Zeth: *Don't make me bite you*
<Remy> She don't want me anyways. Baaahhh..
* Remy shifts his weight and looks down at Gwen. ^_^;
<Gwen> Teefa: So? What's the worst she'll do? Reject you?
<Gwen> >> You pass the ruins of Mt. Bole..
<Remy> Been hurt way too many times, Teefa. Hurt many people too many times.
<Gwen> Teefa: It's your call, Remy. But I think you'd better ask her soon, before some other joe asks her for you.
<Adek> Hrmph.. you can live being afraid of being hurt, Remy.. or you can live. It's up to you.
* Remy snaps his head up, eyes flashing with barely concealed jealousy. :P
<Remy> *mutter* Fine, fine..
<Gwen> Phoebe looks down. "At least the person you love is here..."
<Gwen> Phoebe stops...
<Gwen> Phoebe finally breaks down, the weight of the events crashing down on her..
<Remy> Phoebe....everything will work out....don't worry 'bout it..
<Gwen> Phoebe: My god...my god...
* Remy grimaces.
<Gwen> Phoebe: I can't beleive...Oh god..I'm so worried about him...
<Gwen> Teefa: Um, can someone confort her? I'm not very good at this sort of thing...
* Remy tilts his head. "It'll be alright, petite....don' worry...'kay? Worryin' just makes de hurt worse...need ta get to de point before y'start to freak.."
<Gwen> Phoebe:...You guys...don't really know the real him...
<Gwen> Phoebe: You met someone who is the total opposite...
<Adek> We'd like to meet the real him, though... his opposite was annoying as hell. I'm sure he's a great guy, based on that..
<Remy> True, petite....but if you love him so....then obviously he ain't 'dat bad..
<Gwen> Phoebe: He is..
<Gwen> Phoebe smiles. "Thanks.."
* Remy nods.
<Gwen> >> You reach Mortyr!
* Remy hugs Gwen more and smiles as they reach the town. ^_^
<Arcus> *Zeth hrmphs a bit and flits back to Arcus.
<Gwen> >> The town is...oddly enough, divided in half by a river!
<Remy> Ooh...'dis is new....two parts of de same town?
<Adek> There's probably one or more bridges connecting the two halves..
<Gwen> >> Each side has an inn, a weapon and armor shop, several homes, and some fields filled with sheep and livestock. One side has a very small port...most likely where you will be sailing tomorrow..
<Remy> Hmmm..
<Remy> Inn? *nods to Gwen* :P
<Gwen> Gwen: ...
* Arcus hrms, wondering something to himself.
<Adek> I may just stop by that weapon shop... see if they have a katana.. I HATE these uncurved swords..
* Remy mutters and runs a finger along Gwen's cheek. "You gon' wake up or do I got to bring ya to de inn?"
<Gwen> Teefa: Let's head to the inn for now.
<Gwen> ...
* Adek feels an uncontrollable urge not to shop.
<Remy> The inn sounds great..
* Arcus looks around the town, humming to himself.
<Gwen> Phoebe: Which? There's one on each side!
<Gwen> Phoebe: Do we pick the north or south one?
<Remy> Eh..
<Arcus> I say we shop around for the best deal ^_^
<Remy> South sounds good.. :P
<Gwen> Teefa: It's late...the suns starting to set....stores will probably be closing...and you heard Remy...south!
<Arcus> Somebody raid the south one and the rest will tackle the north one. We'll come back here afterwards and take notes. ^_-
<Remy> I'm de team leader now or wha? ^_-
<Arcus> Ah poo, you guys are no fun. ^_-
<Gwen> >> You head to the South Inn. A pretty young lady in a calico dress is by the counter.
* Remy shrugs and heads for the South Inn.
<Gwen> Lady: How can I...Oh! *Sees Gwen*
<Remy> Uhm..
<Remy> Room with a view?
* Remy grins meekly.
<Gwen> Lady: 50 Gold Pieces sir...
<Arcus> We need a healer! Go one? ^_-
* Remy hands over 50.
<Gwen> Phoebe nods. "That'd be me. Lay her on a bed, and I'll attend to her...meanwhile, you guys can look aroudn the town."
<Sunny> That's a rip off.
* Remy glances at Phoebe.
<Arcus> Marvy. ^_-
<Gwen> Teefa: I might go to a bar...and get pissed.
<Gwen> Teefa shrugs. ^_^
<Sunny> Oh well!
<Gwen> Phoebe: Don't worry. ^_^
<Sunny> I wonder if there's a weapon shop.
<Arcus> I'm gonna poke around a bit then. ^_- *looks at Remy
* Don't wait up okay? ^_-
<Gwen> Lady: The stores are closed now, Miss. All that's open is the bar...
<Sunny> Bar is good!
<Remy> Who? Me? :P
* Remy chuckles.
<Sunny> Do they have Tequila?
<Alexis> Hmm... I wonder if this Inn has those little soap things... and pillow mints... You never know when one might need such necessities...
<Gwen> Phoebe: Please go, Remy. Don't worry. Have a drink and she'll be up and being her crabby self in no time!
<Remy> Don't do anythin I wouldn't do without boots on, Arcus..
<Adek> Bar? Fat lot of good that does if you don't dr-.. on the other hand, maybe that IS a good idea.
<Remy> Hey..she ain't 'dat crabby.. :P
<Gwen> Lady: Oh we do, Ma'am.
* Remy gently hands her to Phoebe. :P
<Sunny> Da Bar!
<Remy> Can y'handle her?
* Sunny runs to the Bar.
<Alexis> Oooh... excellent. ^_^ And showercaps and glasses?
<Remy> Y'don't need m'help?
<Gwen> Phoebe helps Gwen into the room and locks the door.
* Remy sighs. -_-
<Gwen> Lady: The works!
<Sunny> A tall glass of Tequila please!
<Gwen> Lady: Um...the bar is next door, Miss.
* Remy wrinkles his nose..
* Sunny went there. ^^
<Gwen> Lady: ^^;
<Alexis> Great! Are there any pawn shops in this town? ^_^;
* Remy looks at the door. -_-
<Sunny> Stop sweating!
<Gwen> >> Lady: ^^;
* Remy mutters and goes to the bar.
<Sunny> Its harmful to your health you know. :P
<Gwen> Lady: You're an ...odd child.
* Remy orders a nice big frosty glass of....water!
<Sunny> Hey!
<Gwen> Lady runs off into another room. O_O
<Sunny> Hmph
<Alexis> Odd? No... just... innovative. ^_^;
* Sunny goes back to the bar and drinks her tequilla.
<Gwen> >> You're all in the bar -_-...for now!
<Sunny> I just love this stuff!
* Remy sighs and looks worried. -_-
<Sunny> Hic!
<Gwen> >> Remy notices a small boy, about 12, watching him.. O_o
* Remy blinks.
<Remy> Whaddaya lookin' at, son?
<Gwen> >> The boy suddenly yelps and tugs on Remy's overcoat "SIR REMY!!! O_O O_O"
* Remy sips his drink, eyeing the boy curiously..
<Remy> eh?!
* Sunny falls off her bar stool.
* Alexis rounds up as many glasses and shower caps and soap cakes and pillow mints and bibles and ashtrays and everything else she can carry and runs off to the nearest pawn shop to sell it! ^_^
* Remy drops his drink. "Shit!"
<Remy> Sir Remy? Huh?
* Arcus heads off to the tavern.
<Gwen> Boy: I've been looking all over for you! My name is Mylo!!
* Remy blinks.
<Remy> Ehhh.....and you lookin' for me for what reason?
<Sunny> Ohhh, that's gooood...
<Gwen> Mylo: You're so cool! Please let me be your apprentice!!!
<Remy> Wha..
<Remy> Apprentice?
<Gwen> Mylo: OH PLEASE!!!!
<Remy> B-..
<Gwen> Mylo: Teach me how to wear that overcoat like that! And get all the chicks!!!
* Remy coughs.
<Gwen> Mylo: And how to use fire magic!!
<Remy> I don' get all de chicks anymore, boyo...and 'dis....argh...eh...
<Gwen> Mylo: OH PLEASE!!!
* Remy thinks.
<Gwen> Mylo tugs on his overcoat in a bratty fashion.
<Gwen> >> You're getting stared at....intensely...
* Sunny starts staring at some guy.
<Remy> Eh...careful wit' de coat...
* Remy grimaces..
<Gwen> Mylo: O_o Please!!
* Arcus kicks back in a chair, looking around the tavern.
* Alexis returns with a fat bag of Gp... ^_^
<Sunny> Heeyyy...
<Remy> Bu-b...
<Gwen> >> Based on Mylo's look, he looks like a young ruffian...probably a thief...
* Remy raises an eyebrow.
<Gwen> Mylo: O_o C'mon!
<Remy> Where are de parents, Mylo?
<Gwen> Mylo: Um...I don't have any...
* Remy pales lightly.. "Urgh.."
<Remy> Okay....fine...
<Gwen> Teefa: (Who was watching) You can't be seriously taking this kid with you?! O_o
<Remy> Y'my apprentice....happy now, kid? ^_-
<Gwen> Mylo: YEAH! =D What do we do first?!
* Remy looks at Teefa. "De kid has no one...nobody...he is me...."
* Arcus wanders up to the tavermaster and inquires about the possiblilty of doing some entertaining.
* Remy smiles at Mylo. "We get'cha some clothes."
<Remy> Decent clothes...'dat way you can steal women's hearts, non?
<Gwen> Teefa: And we're fighting the empire! This is no place for a child! The last child who fought against the empire is in a coma in Hayhill! And the other child was shot in the heart and fell off a bridge!
<Gwen> Mylo: Okay, good clothes...
* Adek glares at Teefa. "MUST you remind me?"
<Gwen> Teefa: ...Sorry Adek..
* Remy levels his gaze at Teefa, red/brown eyes glowing.. "I'm aware of 'dat....it's almost as bad as growing up on de streets.."
* Remy grins and picks Mylo up.
<Remy> Lets go, kiddo.
<Gwen> Mylo smiles. ^_^
* Adek shakes his head, wanders over the bar, and orders something strong.
<Gwen> Mylo: I can use a bow!
<Gwen> Mylo: Is that cool?
* Remy grins. "A bow, eh? Yea, it is.."
<Gwen> Mylo: Or should I use your kinda bo?
* Arcus finishes negotiating with the tavermaster, and hops onto the stage, and starts his routine. ^_^
<Remy> You should use what you're good wit' kid. ^_-
<Gwen> Mylo: ^_^ I'm a good marksman! ^_^ I can't wait!
* Remy chuckles.
<Gwen> Teefa sighs.
<Gwen> Teefa: He's going to get killed.
* Remy hmms and carries de kiddo to Adek..
<Remy> Adek?
<Remy> You got some clothes 'dat dis kiddo can borrow?
* Arcus begins with some flute music.
<Gwen> A Lady smiles and begins dancing with Adek.
<Gwen> The woman is dressed rather sexily. She's a dancer..
<Gwen> Lady: Hey you. ^_^
<Remy> Actually...hmm..
* Remy grins and puts the kid down..
<Gwen> Mylo: *Looks at Adek* Hey. ^_^
* Remy puts his own coat on the kid. ^_^
<Remy> It don' fit well...but it'll do fer now. ^_-
<Gwen> Mylo blinks, and looks awed. "Wow.. ^_^"
<Gwen> Phoebe wanders into the room. "Remy?"
<Remy> Yea?
<Gwen> Phoebe: She's awake. She's on the balcony watching the sun set...
* Arcus finishes his first song, and bows to the audience.
<Remy> Ah...can I see 'er?
<Gwen> Phoebe: If this isn't a good time to ask, I dunno when it will be.
<Gwen> Lady smiles at Arcus. "You're good!"
<Gwen> Lady: I'm Azusa. ^_^
<Arcus> Thank you, but I'm just starting. ^_^
<Gwen> Azusa: You sure?
<Arcus> Naturally, I would never use my best material first. ^_^
<Remy> Ah...eh...Phoebe? You wanna take my apprentice? Err...his name is Mylo...Mylo, I'm gonna go chat wit' one o'my friends...
<Gwen> Azusa grins.
<Gwen> Mylo: Okay. ^_^ Seeya Master!
<Gwen> Phoebe grins. "Cute cute cute. ^_^"
<Gwen> Azusa: Let's do a dance/song routine that will knock them dead! :D
<Arcus> Why not? ^_^
<Gwen> Azusa begins to dance! :D She is very good.
* Remy heads for Gwen's room..
* Arcus watches Azusa for a moment, then begins to improvise a song to go with her movements.

== Cut Scene ==


* Gwen is sitting on the balcony, looking at the town.
* Remy knocks at Gwen's door.. -_-;
<Gwen> Come in, It's open.
* Remy walks in slowly and grins.
<Remy> Ah..
<Gwen> Hey...
<Remy> Feel okay? I was worried..
<Gwen> I heard you carried me all the way here. Thanks...
<Gwen> I'm fine.
* Remy coughs and settles out by Gwen..
<Gwen> The sky is beautiful tonight...
<Remy> S'beautiful, ain't it? The sunset...
* Remy chuckles.
<Gwen> Ha...great minds think alike...
<Remy> Yeah... *grins*
<Remy> So..uh...Gwen.. ^_^;
* Gwen grins as well.
<Gwen> Yeah?
* Remy coughs and flushes lightly. "I was sorta wonderin' if.."
<Gwen> If...?
<Remy> If...eh...I dunno...you'd like to ditch the group sometime...and maybe go out for a night..
<Remy> Sorta a date..
<Gwen> Go out, eh? A date...
<Remy> Yeah...
* Gwen sighs and leans back a bit..
<Gwen> I dunno if i'm the type of girl you want, Remy...
<Gwen> I...
* Remy tilts his head.
* Gwen shakes her head.
<Remy> Girl, you definately what I want.
* Gwen blinks. O_o
<Gwen> I am?
* Remy nods.
<Gwen> Why, pray tell?
<Gwen> I'm a bitch, don't give a shit about others...
<Gwen> Don't think I don't know it...
<Remy> Don't matter if you're a bitch. You probably have a sweet side too. You were just hurt.
<Gwen> Yeah...I was...
<Remy> Badly..
<Gwen> I'm just afraid the longer we're in this battle, the more and more of that sweet side will be lost...
<Remy> I want to help you heal...
<Gwen> Rem...
* Gwen smiles at him.
* Remy smiles also.
<Gwen> I..er...
* Gwen laughs.
* Remy winces. "Laughin' at me?"
<Gwen> No...
<Gwen> No...not at all..
<Remy> At what, 'den?
<Gwen> Rem, out of all the men I've met, you're one of the kindest ones out there....I'm just laughing at myself...for being so closed minded..
<Gwen> Hope you can forgive me.
* Remy chuckles a bit and gets closer to Gwen. "I don't want you to hurt no more, chere. And I will always forgive you."
<Gwen> Remy...
* Remy slowly leans down and kisses Gwen gently. ^_^
* Gwen blinks, then kisses back....
<Gwen> >> And the two look up, and watch the sun set behind the mountains...
