||Narrator|| ===== SESSION START ===== ||Narrator|| The Shining Force slowly wakes... The morning sun still slightly warped by the darkness... But overall more stable than past days... * Indigo stretches and yawns. ||Indigo|| Morning world! ^_^ * Hans opens his eyes, the same look in them as always * ... * Jessica sits up, next to Darin. * Aura mrrs softly as she blinks her eyes open...hoping to se jeyer next to her.. * Indigo gets up and starts poking everyone with her staff. * Darin mrrhs in his sleep and turns over, slinging an arm over Jessica's waist. * Hans sits up and looks left then right, with an almost frighteningly calm look on his face * ||Jessica|| Darin...wake up. * Aura sighs almost saddly and burries her head into her pillow.. * Hans steps out of his bed * ||Indigo|| Wakey Wakey children! ^_^ ||Darin|| Just five more minutes Mommie... * David is lying in bed next to Reisha, an arm around her waist and fast asleep. * Indigo pulls Darin's blankets over him and pats his head. * Hans walks over to the table over to the side and begins to gear up * * Jessica throws a fireball at Indigo. "Go AWAT!" ||Indigo|| Awwwwww...........he's dreaming...... ^_^ * Tiernan seems to be awake already, and is gathering things in his room, or at least it sounds like it. ^^ His door is closed. * Aura mrrs and slowly rolls off the bed onto the floor.. * Indigo pokes Jessica some more..... ||Indigo|| Awwww.....she's cranky today! * Jessica throws numerous fireballs at Indigo. "I said go AWAY!" * Hans puts on his leather shoes, ties the band around them, then puts his robe, cape, and hood. A new set of them, being of snow white color * * Darin stretches, completely oblivious to what goes on around him. * Indigo gets out an old pacifier and sticks it in Jessica's mouth, then pats her head. * David opens his eyes and he yawns softly before blinking at Reisha next to him. ||Indigo|| There there, little Jessie..... * Jessica gets up and grabs her rapier. "Ok...you asked for it, bitch." * David gets a soft smile and slowly slides out of bed, padding to his clothes and putting them on. ;) ||Indigo|| Naughty Jessie, no bad words and don't play with knives! ||David|| Hmmm....breakfast in bed. ;) * Indigo glows orange. * Hans tightens his cloth belt and then looks at his hands, remembering his gloves and how they were ripped * ... ||Darin|| Sssnnnnrrrrkkxxx * Aura mrfphels and pulls on her clothes slowly.. ||Indigo|| Apollo, Elemental of Fire, melt the blade. * David stretches and heads out the door, quietly closing it to let Reisha sleep. * Jessica slices right at Indigo's abdomen. * Hans puts his coin bag on a clip on his belt and heads downstairs * * David pauses outside his door and glances towards the other doors, hearing the sounds of fighting ^^; ||David|| sigh.. ^^; ||Jessica|| how many times do I have to tell you, you damn psycho bitch, to LEAVE US ALONE! * David shakes his head and heads for Tiernan's room.. * Indigo pats Jess's hand, waiting for Apollo. * Aura frowns, remembering part of her dream, and reaches up to the left side of her head, behind her ear... ||Jessica|| Someone get this pscyho out of our room. * Hans sits in a stool by the bar counter and looks to his left for a barkeep * * David knocks at the door.. "Hey, Tyr, you awake?" ||Tiernan|| David...Hi. ^_^ Yes, I'm awake. ||Tiernan|| You can come in if you want... ^_^ ||Hans|| Barkeep...? * David nods and saunters in.. ^_- ||Indigo|| Hey.....where's Jeyer, or was that Joyer, or someone? The horse boy? * Tiernan turns around after putting a satchel over his shoulder. ^^; His look is different than David remembers though, although he's wearing his trademark trenchcoat and scarf, he now has flame red mage armor on...and a really big boomerang...and...looks slightly more mature. O_o ||Jessica|| that's Johei, you idiot. * Aura goes over to the mirror and trys to look behind her ear.. * Indigo wanders out. * Kodah yawns, then moves to join the others, looking rather groggy ||David|| Wow, Tyr.. ^_- You've grown up! MY LITTLE BOY IS ALL BIG NOW! Err, sorry. How're you doing? * Jessica shakes Darin. "Wake up, Darin. The psycho's gone." ||Tiernan|| O_o Uh...fine...You'll never guess what happened though! ||David|| What? ^_- ||Darin|| mrphnrphlem... * Aura sighs and cant see very well..walks out of the room to the bar * Tiernan 's face sobers a lot. "Well..." ||Hans|| ... * Indigo goes to her room, wets down a rag, gets a bar of heavy soap, and comes back to Jessica's room, beginning to literally wash her mouth out with soap. ^_^ ||Jessica|| ok, Darin. You know the alternative means of waking you up. ||Tiernan|| I woke up last night having a really bad dream...and I kept hearing voices in my room... * Kodah rubs the sleep out of his eyes, "Morning folks" * Jessica stabs Indigo through the heart. ||Hans|| ... I guess it is a little early... Wait... What time IS it...? ||Narrator|| The barkeep comes out from the backstore with a large crate and goes behind the counter... * Hans notices the barkeep * ||Hans|| Barkeep, what do you have to drink here? * Aura keeps rubbing behind her ear and toddles over to the bar * Indigo blinks. * David blinks "What were they saying?" ||Narrator|| * The barkeep pops open the crate and hmms... "We have... Not much." ||Tiernan|| I don't know...Just a lot of noise. Then...this cat jumped on my lap! O_o ||Hans|| Any elven wine? * Jessica gets a very serious look on her face. "I said to leave us alone...and I meant it." * Kodah heads for the bar and takes a seat ||Tiernan|| And...well...then it turned into Jeyer... O_o * Indigo pouts. ||David|| Jeyer? Ah...yeah.. ||Indigo|| You've got a very nasty potty-mouth! * Aura sits at the bar and looks over at Tyr.."jeyer..??" ||Tiernan|| And he said that 'He'll take over.' * Indigo scrubs her mouth harder, then skips out. ||Indigo|| There, that should cure it! * Jessica puts the blade to Indigo's throat. "And I've got a very nasty sharp object....NOW GET OUTTA HERE!" ||Narrator|| * The barkeep shuffles through the crate... "Aye... It seems we have a bottle left." and plops it on the counter. ||David|| Who will? ||Tiernan|| ...Volcanon. ||Tiernan|| But that's not all of it... * Indigo skips out merrily, still glowing orange..... * Aura leans her chin on the counter and sighs ||Hans|| Okay... *takes the whole bottle* What's the total? ||Jessica|| now, where was I? ||Jessica|| Oh..I remember. ||Darin|| mmphlgm * Indigo comes downstairs. * David gazes at Tyr, looking pleasantly rumpled with his grey blue eyes bright and happy looking. ^_- ||Tiernan|| Then I started falling through darkness...empty space...my room and bed dissapeared... * Hans reaches down to his gold bag * * Jessica points to the air above Darin as a small piece of ice forms. A fireball melts it and water falls on Darin's face. "Chilling Inferno" * Aura humms softly and stares off into space..still rubbing behind her left ear ||Tiernan|| And then Volcanon, Jeyer...and Dark Dragon showed up. They said that I would fail because I was a weak willed mortal.. ||Indigo|| Hi there Mr. Innkeeper man! I'll have bacon, and sausages and waffles, and pancakes, and eggs, and juice, and milk, and a blueberry muffin for breakfast this morning. Please be snappy. ^_^ ||Narrator|| * The barkeep digs through the case... ||Tiernan|| And that Volcanon will take over in the end and I won't exsist anymore. * David grimaces. "Not exactly happy dreams, huh?" ||Tiernan|| It wasn't a dream though... * Kodah quietly orders some breakfast without fuss ||Tiernan|| But that's not all of it. ^_^ ||Jessica|| better than an alarm clock. ^_^ * Aura traces Jeyer onto the counter with a lil puddle of water * Hans glances over his shoulder at the Shining Force members coming downstairs then looks back to the barkeep for his bill * ||Narrator|| * The barkeep turns towards Indigo... "Sorry miss, we're on supply rations. Food is scarce in these here parts." * Aura splashes it out and draws a little pheonix... *** Danny is now known as Im_Blue ||Darin|| AHHHHHH!!! ||Indigo|| Supply rations, why? * Tiernan smiles. "I...I told them all that I could be strong...that I would fight for all my friends! And then...I fought against Dark Dragon and won! ...Well..he wasn't really Dark Dragon...Jeyer said he was a prop..." ||Narrator|| * The barkeep glances at Indigo... "Trade routes were cut from the other isles... We only have what we can grow." * Darin jumps about 3 feet over the bed... "JESS!!" .... He now half sits on the floor, mostly naked, and dripping wet. * Aura splashes that out again and writes Ancient onto the counter...splashes that out again.. * David nods. "Hm. I think it was a test to see if you were strong enough...and you are." ||Hans|| Barkeep, total? ||Tiernan|| Yeah... * Indigo pouts, then stomps her foot. ||Tiernan|| And then I got...this armor...and I felt strong...but... ||Jessica|| it was just a small spell, Darin... ||Indigo|| But....but I want it. I want it, I want it, I want it.......!!!! ||Tiernan|| I realize now that Volcanon might let me...well...exsist in the end...if I show how strong I am...and humanity is. ||Narrator|| * The barkeep glances at hans... "That'll be 50 gold coins, lad." ||Jessica|| it's not like I cast freeze 2 on you. * Indigo glows orange, then blue, then green....... * Kodah finishes his breakfast (since Indigo's whining kinda soured it) and heads outside ||Hans|| Okay... *Opens his gold bag* ... *Sighs* * David claps Tyr on the shoulder. "Mm. So lets go show them, huh?" ||Tiernan|| And I plan to...but after the final battle...if I start acting...different...don't worry...okay? ||Tiernan|| And don't tell anyone either. I don't want them to worry about me. ||Indigo|| Apollo, no, Neptune, no.......Tio, Elemental of Plague I want my breakfast!!!!!!! * Aura sighs softly and writes Jeyer inside a little heart * Hans puts 19 gold coins onto the counter, once emptying out his bag * Er... One second... ||David|| I won't. You have my word, Tyr. ^_- ||Narrator|| The elemental summons fails * Hans takes a glance into his backpack which he laid on the ground * * Hans doesn't see anything * ||Narrator|| * The barkeep snags the gold coins... "Take it, lad. It's allright." ||Tiernan|| Thanks David. ^_^ Now, we better go. If I had this dream about Dark Dragon...if it was a dream or not...that might mean he's trying to get to Arc Valley again! * Indigo stomps her foot again. * David grins. "Yeah. I should get breakfast for Rei.." * Jessica gets dressed and goes back to Darin. "Now, will you get up?" * David nods almost to himself. ^_- ||Indigo|| Apollo, Elemental of Fire, GET ME MY BREAKFAST!!!!!! ||Hans|| No. I don't leave debts. * Indigo glows orange now. ||Darin|| Jess.. do you always have to wake me up liek that? * Kodah goes behind the inn and starts his morning warm-up exercises ||Narrator|| The summons fails again. ||Tiernan|| Why do you look all rumpled David? * Darin gets up, dries off and dresses. ||Narrator|| Barkeep: Think of it as a gift, lad. It's fine. ||David|| Ah...uh.. * Aura writes jeyer in a heart bigger, and tries to fit Aura in as well, but runs out of water * Hans takes his mitula cross from his neck and hands it to the barkeep * Will this cover it? ||David|| It was a busy night? ^^; ||Jessica|| it's the only way to wake you up. You're too sound a sleeper..for a knight. ||Narrator|| The barkeep lines up bottles on the wall, then pulls out a rag... ||Tiernan|| Did you both get in a...pillow fight? * Darin sighs. "I am not." * David struggles to keep a straight face. "Uh, yes." * Indigo screams, then stomps off, glowing every color of the rainbow and shouting incoherently as she kicks open the door and storms outside to rage. ||Tiernan|| Wow. ^_^ Sounds like fun. ||Tiernan|| Next time you should invite all of us. ||Narrator|| * The barkeep looks at the cross... "This here... Is some fine craftsmanship, boy. I couldn't accept it." * Hans points to the mitula cross he put on the counter * It's made of silver, and mitula's eyes are diamond. I'm sure you'd like to have it. ||David|| ! Uhm, well.. ;) Lets just go downstairs....you should ask Rei that when she wakes up. ^_- * Jessica puts her arms around Darin. Well, shall we go downstairs and kill Indigo? ||Hans|| Barkeep... I'm beginning to wonder if Mitula is still with me. * Kodah tries to maintain his foucus, despite Indogo's ravings, going through the manny katas he learned so long ago ||Tiernan|| ^_^ Okay! ||Darin|| What's Indi got to do with this? * Tiernan fluffs his wings and follows David out the door. * Aura looks over at Indigo and sighs.. * David nods and struts downstairs! ||Narrator|| * The barkeep pushes it back towards hans... "You need it more than I do, lad." and heads towards the backroom again. ||Hans|| Besides, the cross is only a symbol. ||Jessica|| She came in here and tried to wake us up after I was already awake... * Hans sighs * ||Jessica|| and she wouldn't leave us alone...you were too soundly asleep to notice. * Tiernan walks down the stairs, and waves at Kodah. "^_^ Hi!" * Hans puts the cross around his neck and walks over to the Shining Force, not taking the elven wine with him... * * Indigo slams the front door shut noisily after several minutes of ranting and raving outside the inn. She slams it back with every intention of breaking it off it's hinges as she glows light-blue, then black. * Aura burries her head in her arms and sighs...wishing she couls fall asleep and dream again... * David settles into a chair and stretches out. ||Kodah|| Morning Tyr. How're you feeling? ||Darin|| .... I slept through all that?! * David grins ;) ||Tiernan|| I'm a little tired...but much better than yesterday. I'm not numb anymore. ^_^ * Aura looks back at Tyr and David as they come in.. * Jessica walks downstairs, holding onto Darin's arm. "Good morning, everyone. And yes, Darin..you did sleep through all that." * David winks at Aura in greeting! ||Jessica|| O_o ||Jessica|| TYR? ||Tiernan|| ...O_o Yes? * Hans sits at a table and pulls out a needle and a thread. He then pulls out his gloves and begins to try to sew them back together * * Aura raises an eyebrow at David and smiles a bit.. ||Kodah|| Excellent news. I'm glad to hear...now what? ||Jessica|| you look so much older. ||David|| And Kodah, doesn't Tyr look absoloutely dazzling in his new outfit? ;) ||Tiernan|| ^^; Not that much... * Kodah blinks at th sudden topic change, "Yyyes. He does look quite capital." * David yawns as if he didn't get much sleep * Aura gets up and wanders over to David and company..somewhat wary of Tyr * Tiernan blushes lightly. ^^ ||David|| I swear, Tyr, the girls'll be dropping like flies when they see you. ^_- * Hans finishes and puts the gloves on * ||Tiernan|| Why? O_o Am I that bad looking? ||Jessica|| No, Tyr...you look great..honestly. ||Kodah|| Actually Tyr, he's saying that the ladies will find you quite hansome * Darin rubs his eyes a few times. * Aura stands next to David and sort of looks at Tyr blankly..thinking.. ||Tiernan|| Oh...^^; * Hans stands up and jabs at air a few times * * David pats Aura on the shoulder briefly before heading to the bar! * Tiernan blushes more, not used to all the praise. "I...thank you..." ||David|| Barkeep! ||Jessica|| are you ok, Darin? * Aura smiles weekly at David and leans agains the wall * Kodah proeceeds through the next few steps of his katas ||Narrator|| * The barkeep peaks his head from the backroom... "Aye?" ||Darin|| Yeah.. *Yawn* just... eh.. ||David|| What do you normally serve for breakfast? * Hans glances over at David * How much longer should we be here...? ||Jessica|| that wake up call? ||Tiernan|| Hey... * Tiernan thinks, and looks at Aura... * Hans walks over to Kodah * Hey Kodah... ||David|| Not too long, Hans...I just need to wake up Reisha ;) * Indigo glows blue this time. ||Tiernan|| You were the one that Jeyer likes...right? ||Kodah|| What's up Hans? * Aura sighs softly and smiles weekly at Tyr.."yea..." ||Indigo|| Neptune, Elemental of Water, get my breakfast from that creep! ||Tiernan|| I saw him last night...in my drream! ||Jessica|| is it just me or should someone just run Indigo through..... * Hans blinks at David * She's still worn out? ||David|| Uhhh..yes. ;) * Aura frowns softly..."so did i...but..i dont think it was a dream..." ||Hans|| Not much, Kodah. Just repaired my glvoes... I hope they hold up... ||Tiernan|| ...I'm sorry...er...I'm sorry I couldn't stop Zeon from cursing him... * Darin still tries to drag his sorry butt into the waking world. ||Tiernan|| Maybe we can try and lift it together? ||Narrator|| * The barkeep comes out from the backroom and gives David a menu of what he has in stock... It mostly consist of bread and some fruit juice... ||Kodah|| Considering what we're all doing, the condition of your gloves should be the least of your worries * Aura sighs and holds her necklace tight.."well....we..can break the curse....somehow...we have. to..." ||Narrator|| Alot of items on the list are crossed out... * David furrows his brow. "Are you experiencing some trouble, kind sir?" ||Tiernan|| Maybe... * Kodah moves seamlessly from the end of one katas, into the second * Hans glances at Kodah * It's my family's treasure. Over 900 years old. ||Tiernan|| Hey David...Kodah...do you know anyone who's strong enough to break curses? * Aura whimpers softly.."please...we realy have to.." ||Hans|| Every stitch torn in it, I feel my soul grow weaker for some reason... ||Kodah|| That's pretty old for a glove, and no, the only person I knew who might have know is Creed ||David|| curses? Hmm.. ||Jessica|| or Chamolo....he's a pretty powerful priest. ||Tiernan|| Chamolo? ||Hans|| I can't live without this. This is all I have left to remember my parents by. ||David|| Ah, yes, my father is pretty powerful.. ||Tiernan|| ^_^ You think he could break Jeyer's curse? ||Kodah|| I don't mean to be blunt Hans, but its not a good idea to rely so much on an object * Aura sighs softly and mumbles something about ancients.. ||David|| Possible.. ^^; ||Hans|| I can't help it... I rely on this more than I do mitula. ||Hans|| Sometimes I wonder why I even call myself a Monk. ||Tiernan|| Well...Maybe we could find him...Aura seems pretty sad and I feel like i'm responsible for it :/ ||Kodah|| The glove is a thing. And things break, or can be lost. Its more important to rely on yourself ||Jessica|| I rely on myself and the people I'm with. Items can be useful, but all in all, it's the people that make the difference. * Aura sits down and sighs.."not your fault.." ||David|| Hmmm.. ||Tiernan|| ...Well..I know it's not really my fault...but I still feel responsible...and I'll help you restore him! It's the least I can do. ^_^ * Jessica looks at Darin. "Having trouble waking up?" * Aura smiles softly.."thanks tyr.." ||Hans|| This glove helps me actually hurt my foe. With my bare fists, I wouldn't do much harm. But with this, I can help defend people. Don't want other people to grow up without a family. * Tiernan smiles back. "^_^ No problem." ||Hans|| The main thing on it is this magical elven character on it. * Aura frowns.."Tyr...do you know anything about the ancients..?" ||Tiernan|| Ancients? ... ... ... * David orders some bread and juice.. ^^; ||Kodah|| Do youn know what the character means? * Hans points to a strange seal on the back of the glove. it is embedded into the leather glove, the seal is bronze * * Aura nods softly and rubs at the left side of her head.."jeyer...he..said...i have the mark...or something.." ||Hans|| I don't know. Some said it is "Mitula" written in a long forgotten dialogue. Others thing it is my family symbol. Others think it is just for looks. ||Tiernan|| Well... ||Narrator|| * The barkeep goes to the back for a minute and comes back with a tray with two portions of freshly cooked bread and tall glasses of juice... ||David|| Thank you, sir. :) ||Kodah|| It might be important to learn about its true importance before relying too much on it * David pays the keep. ^^ ||Jessica|| I wonder what happened to Meredith....anyone know|| * David grabs his food and heads for Rei's room.. * Hans sighs * The odd thing... Is that that seal makes this glove indestructable. That's what I know for sure. * Aura mumbles about her past and the high father, and the ancients.. ||Hans|| My father wore them, and was attacked by an ogre one day with a katana. It swatted at his hand with the glove. the sword didn't penetrate it. ||Tiernan|| The ancients were a group of people...they were the ancestors of some of the present day Gods and Humans. ||Tiernan|| But some of the ancients were corrupt... ||Hans|| Maybe it wasn't a katana. i don't know. All I know is that it was a bladed weapon. * Indigo storms back in, her face bearing a scowl. ||Jessica|| are you still having trouble waking up, Darin? ||Indigo|| What do you have Innkeeper? ||Tiernan|| That's why some of them turned into Gods...so they could stop the courrpt ancients from taking Arc Valley. ||Hans|| And, it happens to tear simply from nothing. * Aura sighs softly..."well..what did jeyer mean..." ||Kodah|| That sounds kinds strange ||Hans|| Aye... ||Tiernan|| Does this help, Aura? * Aura sighs softly..."no..." ||Narrator|| The barkeep looks at Indigo and says, "Bread and fruit juice... Particularly grape..." * Jessica rests a hand on the hilt of her rapier. "keep that psycho away from me or I'll kill her." * Kodah moves into the third katas * Aura looks at Tyr almost saddly.."i might be one..somehow....." ||Tiernan|| They had powers though that humans of today couldn't comprehend... * Hans puts his hand on the table * ||Tiernan|| O_o ||Indigo|| Fruit juice and bread..... ||Hans|| Kodah, slash at it with your sword. Stab. I don't care. ||Hans|| Just watch. ||Tiernan|| You couldn't be a true ancient...they all died out...you might have the blood of one, though. * Indigo grits her teeth and glows every color for a moment. ||Indigo|| Fine, give that to me. ||Kodah|| I'd like to, but I don't have a sword. I use my fists and feet nowadays ||Tiernan|| But...you never know... * Tiernan smiles and fluffs his wings again. ||Aura|| *sigh* you dont know about my past.....do you....? ||Narrator|| The barkeep brings two portions for Indigo... ||Darin|| I think I'm allright now, Jess.... thanks ||Tiernan|| No...not really... * Hans notices a bottle on the table. He breaks it over the edge and hands it to Kodah * ||Jessica|| Good...and I'm glad you slept through the psycho bitch insident. * Indigo nods morosely, then looks at Tyr and double-takes. ||Hans|| Stab at my hand. ||Indigo|| You grew up little one! ||Tiernan|| O_o ||Tiernan|| I really don't look that old...do I? ||Jessica|| Run, Tyr...RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. * Indigo munches at her bread and fruit juice. ||Tiernan|| Why? ^^; ||Narrator|| The barkeep gahs at the broken bottle and shakes his head, watching... ||Jessica|| Indigo....she's really gone psycho.. ||Indigo|| You look like a teenager now. * Aura frowns.."well...i...had..a realy..realy rough childhood..but..this man sort of saved me..he..was..as jeyer told me..the high father of the ancients or something like that.." ||Tiernan|| O_o I did before...didn't I? * Kodah takes the bottle in his hand, assumes the Hans knows what he's doing, then stabs with it as hard as he can manage! * Indigo shakes her head. ||Jessica|| not to say that she wasn't psycho before....but she's worse now. ||Indigo|| Nope, like a kid. ^_^ * Indigo looks around. ||Darin|| How is that possible, Jess? * Hans grunts and closes his eyes. Suddenly, the bronze seal glows, and the bottle shatters into hundreds of pieces! * * Aura blinks at indi.."fuck off...thank you.." ||Jessica|| you were asleep when she was in our room, Darin. * Tiernan sighs and ignores Indigo...trying not to let her words hurt him, and turns back to Aura. "Really...maybe you are an ancient...I'm sure we'll find out for sure when we restore Jeyer!" ||Indigo|| Time to wash your mouth out again Jessie, after I finish eating whatever this is supposed to be. Breakfast? * Hans lifts up his hand and looks at it * ||Hans|| Didn't even tear. Good sign. * Indigo smiles and hugs Tyr. * Tiernan is hugged O_o ||Hans|| Then again, I did kind of crack that bottle well... Oh well. * Aura mrrs and turns her head to the side..showing tyr the left side of her head" is the mark there..?..jeyer said it was..?" * Jessica draws her blade from out of it's sheath again. "Try it. I'll cut you to ribbons" * Darin rests a hand on Jessica's shoulder.... "Jessica..." * Tiernan parts Aura's hair back, trying to find the mark. ||Tiernan|| O_o A phoenix...? ||Tiernan|| Yes...I do see it! * Hans looks at where he sewed the glove up. Suddenly, the whole leather part of the glove turns into dust and falls to the ground like sand. The seals fall and clatter on the ground. Hans' eyes widen and he falls to his knees * ||Kodah|| I wouldn't worry too mcu about the glove Hans. There are a lot of other things to be worried about * Indigo looks at the glove and finishes her breakfast. * Kodah blinks * Aura puts her hand up and covers it.."jeyer says i wasnt born this way...i was given it.." ||Hans|| ... ||Tiernan|| Given ancient powers....I've never heard of such a thing... * Hans continues to look at the seals. His eyes wide open and trembling ||Jessica|| I've had it with her, Darin. I really have. 1: She's not my mother, so she's not supposed to be correcting me. 2: I'm 20 years old for goddess sake. I'm my own person. 3: that SOAP bit is going to get her killed. ||Indigo|| You know, I've heard that enchanted items do that sometime. Just attach it to a new glove and you'll be fine. ||Darin|| Soap bit? * Indigo pats Hans's hand. ||Tiernan|| Indigo...you're insane... :/ ||Jessica|| don't ask. * Aura smiles meakly.."well...the lord high father or whatever.,..the first ancient...he was the one who gave it to me..he gave me this necklace..? * Indigo looks around. ||Kodah|| That was...unexpected * Aura glares at indigo.."do you want me to hur tyou?? ||Indigo|| Not anymore! I've been cured! ^_^ * Hans takes the seals of bronze into his hands. He puts it into his pockets and quietly stands up... * * Indigo giggles. * Tiernan looks at Indigo with a sad expression. "No you haven't... ||Indigo|| Oh Aura, we shouldn't fight. We're a lot alike you know. * Tiernan looks at Aura's necklace. "I'm sure your powers must come from it... I feel...something from it..." ||Kodah|| You okay Hans? * Aura rolls her eyes.."what the hell do you mean??" ||Indigo|| That's what the Final Judgement did. Although my memories of that are a little hazy..... ||Hans|| ... * Tiernan stiffens. * Indigo pulls out a list and gives it to the Innkeeper. * Hans sighs and goes back upstairs... * * Aura looks down at the necklace.."jeyer lives there.." ||Jessica|| and the Final Judgement completely screwed up the world, you moron..that's the whole reason we're doing this. ||Tiernan|| ...He does? * Aura nods.. ||Indigo|| Now, I want this next time I come here. Or I'll REALLY be mad! * Hans slams his room's door shut * ||Kodah|| ... ||Tiernan|| Indigo. ||Tiernan|| Be quiet. Please. * Tiernan looks rather angry...uncharacteristic for him ^^: * David is upstairs! ;) With Reisha! ;) ||Indigo|| He has to know. Ignorance is no excuse the second time around dear. ^_^ * Kodah resumes his katas, trying to ignore Indi's screaming ||Tiernan|| But...who's ignorant? O_o * Aura sighs and stands up.."Indigo...Stop...now..please.." * Jessica walks outside. * Darin follows Jessica outside. ||Indigo|| The Innkeeper. When I want my breakfast, I want my breakfast. I guess the Elementals are still asleep, or else Apollo and Tio would have come by now, or Neptune. I summoned them all to make him give me breakfast. * Hans sits in his chair in his room and drops the seals on the table * ... ||Tiernan|| Indigo...the people here are going through a famine...I asked for food last night and he told me that. :/ You can't expect him to give you food. ||Indigo|| I really need to get them an alarm clock....or this device I heard of in Sorceress's Monthly. It vibrates when you send a message to someone.... ||Jessica|| I honestly don't know how the last shining force put up whth her. * Aura growls softly and turns.."sorry tyr..i cant talk with Indi here..i may kill her.." ||Indigo|| But I want it, and I want it now........... * Aura glares at Indi.. * Indigo stars to scream and then glow black, the sign of Doom.... ||Tiernan|| Indigo! How can you be so selfish? People are starving here... * Aura blinks.."woah...black...bad thing.." * Tiernan backs up. ||Tiernan|| You are insane...something is eating at your mind Indigo... ||Indigo|| I didn't know I had a mind...... ||Tiernan|| ...Huh? ||Tiernan|| ...Aura...go get David... * Indigo rocks back and forth, the black glow getting stronger. * Aura blinks..and runs.. ||Tiernan|| Something's wrong...:/ ||Tiernan|| Indigo! * Aura runs.."DAVID!!! COME QUICK!!! ||Indigo|| Doom, Elemental of Death, I command you, GET MY BREAKFAST NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ||Tiernan|| Indigo, what's the matter with you? O_o * David dashes out of the room, in his boxers! * David holds AmeShi and leaps down the stairs! ||Tiernan|| ==The Summon fails. ^^: * Aura runs up stares.."Indi's going psycho.." ||David|| Gods! * Indigo rocks back and forth, then screams and begins flailing with her staff, smashing anything in sight. * Kodah finishes his final katas, and wipes his brow with the back of his hand. He then goes to see what all the freaking screaming is all about ||Indigo|| All eight......Eight Elementals......I command...... * David skids to a stop and runs over, grabbing Indigo from behind! * Indigo glows every color of the rainbow.... * David grabs her in a bear hug ^^; * Tiernan is smashed on the head by Indi's staff! O_O ||David|| HEY! HEY! Miss Night Lite! Calm down! * Tiernan falls to the floor, dazed. O_o * Aura leaps and pounces into indigo as well.."Indi!!" ||Kodah|| What the hell is....oh for crying in the mud not again! ||Tiernan|| Ow... * Kodah charges at Indi and helps Davis restrain her ||Indigo|| Dao, Apollo, Atlas, Tio, Neptune, Pio, Pestil and Doom........ * Hans is silent. Not a sound is heard from his room... * ||David|| Indi! Indi!!! * Tiernan sits up. "She said something about not having a mind..." * Aura hugs Indi tight to her.."indi..indiii...come on hun.." * Jessica is still outside...ignoring Indigo. * David holds Indi's arms down. ^^; * Indigo eyes flare and that silver-blue energy starts to gather around her, the same kind as she once used to try and summon Volcanon..... * Aura swears.. * Tiernan stares at Indigo.

She points to another as it is struck as well. "True.." A third one appears as she points, forming a triangular pattern of force on the ground. "Power.."

We have to be strong! ||Tiernan|| I see...Sadness...but Jessica...I don't think Darin is... ||Hans|| But not rash! We ahve to retreat! * David holds up AmeShi and gazes at the blade.. * Aura glares at Hans.."shut up..fool.." ||Jessica|| O_o ||Narrator|| A comforting, invisible touch surrounds Aura... ||Jessica|| Wait a minute.. * Jessica looks at Darin's neck. "The stone..IT'S GONE!" ||Hans|| Aura, I know you don't like me one bit, but still, we have to kill this thing. We can't now, though. We aren't ready * Aura whimpers and keeps holding the necklace tight..."i love you jeyer..i swear i'll do something.." ||Tiernan|| That's what I've been trying to say...! ||Tiernan|| I don't know if Darin is...is. ||Tiernan|| I don't know...I don't think he's really dead. * Reisha looks over David's shoudler at Jess and Darin's body. "You think his spirit is in the stone or something.." ||Jessica|| that stone must contain his life essence. ||Kodah|| ... ||Tiernan|| I saw a wisp appear out of his body...it was his life essence... ||Tiernan|| But if it's not returned to him...he may die... * David sheathes AmeShi and wraps his arms around Rei, drawing her near.. "....possible. Either which way, if he's not dead, we'll save him.." ||Tiernan|| Everyone... * Aura looks over at Tyr, tears in her eyes ||Tiernan|| I can give him a bit of my life energy to keep alive. ||Tiernan|| But it'll only prolong the inevitable... * Reisha does likewise, holding onto David and feeling a lot more confident, hoping he feels the same. :) ||Tiernan|| Do you want me to, Jessica? ||Jessica|| If it'll keep him alive long enough to get that stone back... * Aura cries softly...still holding her necklace.. ||Tiernan|| All right...someone will have to carry me for a couple of hours though. ^^; I hope no one minds. * Reisha tilts her head. "Tyr, you don't ahve to ask a question like that." * David wrinkles his nose. "Again, Tyr? Yeesh!" ||Kodah|| I'll do it * Tiernan blushes. "I'm sorry David. A phoenix is about sacrifice..." ||David|| I know, Tyr...it's very noble.. ||Tiernan|| ..Please set Darin down on the floor.. * Jessica lies Darin down on the floor. * Reisha smiles. "Tyr.. you're one in a million..Do what you gotta do, kid." ^_^ * Tiernan closes his eyes, a orange aura springing up around him. * David kisses Rei's forehead lightly and gazes at Darin... * Kodah stands by Tyr, just in case ||Hans|| ... * Aura watches through her tears * Tiernan spreads his wings wide, and flames ripple across his entire body! Then with a shriek, his body is consumed in flames! The flames spiral outward from his body, and wrap around the wounded and unconcious Darin, bathing his in phoenix fire! After the flames subside, Tyr lies lifelessly on the ground, his life force spent. * Jessica 's tears still haven't dried.... * Reisha grins, and give him a peck on the cheek, turning to watch as well, still embracing lightly. * Kodah bends down and gently picks up Tyr * Aura cries softly...whispering to the necklace i love you..before pullin herself to her feet ||Narrator|| Darin starts breathing again.... But stays unconscious... His body returns to life... ||Kodah|| I suggest that we not stay here. This isn;t the best place for the wounded to recover * Tiernan breathes softly, totally lifeless. * Hans mumbles * I've been saying that, but nooooo... Nobody here listens to me ¬_¬ ||Jessica|| Where do you suggest we go....I'm not strong enough to carry Darin.... * David reluctantly releases Rei, bending down to kiss her lightly on the lips before heading to Kodah. "I agree....where, though?" ||Kodah|| For now, let's just try to find someplace we can set up camp or something. The we can get our bearings ||Kodah|| Depending on our overall condition, we may have to head back to town. But if things go well, then I say we head after Dark Dragon * Jessica kneels beside Darin, and then she places her head on his chest, the tears still flowing. * Reisha parts, getting to thinking herself. "Well, the muddy crap outside isn't exactly great." ||David|| The town? Lovely. ;P Well....are we all ready to go...? ||Hans|| Why not head to where the Chaos Breaker was last sighted? * Aura sighs and wanders to everybody ||Kodah|| Let's not get ahead of ourselves Hans. We need to stake stock of ourselves first * Kodah looks at David, "That's my recommendation at least." ||Reisha|| Kodah's right.. I think we need a new battle plan and all.. * David nods. "Fair enough." ||Jessica|| I don't know anymore.... ||Narrator|| Something pulls at David... Something calling him... ||Hans|| I know, but... *Whispers to Kodah* Darin's life is limitted. Tyr can't give off his life forever. He have to hurry * David blinks.. * David frowns suddenly.. ||David|| What..? ||Kodah|| I know that Hans. One crisis at a time * Aura looks around and clutches her necklace.."jeyer jeyer jeyer..." * Reisha looks at David, noticing his frown. "Hey.. what happened?" * David mumbles.. "I just...got this weird feeling...like...something...calling me..." ||Hans|| I thought that was what we were focusing on. ||Kodah|| Calling eh? * David tilts his head to the side.. ||Narrator|| The voice speaks to David alone... "When you are ready.. Come back... To the shrine." ||David|| Yes.. * David blinks O_o ||Kodah|| Yes what? * Aura frowns... ||David|| .... ||Jessica|| I...failed you...Darin. * Reisha rubs her blonde head. "Calling, huh... well, I'll follow you just so you don't go off alone again." :P * David smiles softly at Rei.. "Uh huh...." * Tiernan shivers a bit in Kodah's arms. ^^; ||Hans|| ... ||David|| Lets go, people... ||Hans|| Exactly what I was thinking... * Aura sighs.."cmon..lets just..set up camp.." * Hans turns and walks out ahead of everyone else * * Jessica stands up. "Do what you want, people. Darin's life is most important to me. I'm going after Dark Dragon....but should I not make it...Reisha, may I ask a favor? * David blinks * Kodah heft Tyr again, then nods to David * Reisha looks at Jess. "A favor? Woah, this must be serious.." * Jessica turns to the north. "tell Darin before he dies...taht I'm sorry...and that I did truly love him." * Aura growls * Hans waits at the front of the shrine entrance for everyone ||Kodah|| You sound like you've already given up Jess * Reisha stops for a second, a certain look crossing her eyes... * Aura runs over and grabs Jess by the arm.."you didnt fail him..youre failing him by giving up..." ||Reisha|| I will Jess, but I'll be damned if you give up on him like that before we even try. * Jessica turns her face to Kodah. "I'm not giving up, Kodah. But you saw what he did. and I can't forgive him...or myself, for allowing that to happen." ||Kodah|| Yes, you have given up. Otherwise you;d want to be there when Darin openes his eyes. * David smiles wryly at Rei.. "Sounds familiar." * David gazes at Jess.. * Tiernan would tell Jess not to give up, but is rather unconsicous! Yeah! * Hans pauses and says * Hey... Where's Indigo? ||Kodah|| Instead, you can't bear to think that he might die, so you;re throwing yourself at a superior enemy in a mad attempt at redemption * Reisha blushes a little at David's words. * Darin would smack Jess to her senses if he were awake, but he's kinda incapacitated :P ||Jessica|| you think it's mad? Maybe I am. maybe I am just sooo madly angered at the fact that the one person that I have come to care for most in this world was just KILLED by that monster that I want to do something about it before time runs out. * Aura sighs softly.."jeesssica.....dont...stay...please..we will kill him..together.." ||Hans|| Let's go, guys. Jess, don't try any blind heroics. Come with us and Darin is sure to live. ||Kodah|| He's not dead yet Jess. Get a grip * Jessica walks just a few steps further into the shrine...and stops...bowing her head. * David wraps an arm around Rei's waist slowly.. * Reisha stops blushing, and flings her cape oevr her shoulder. "Oh, enough already...let's get out of here!" * Tiernan sighs softly in Kodah's arms, but is still pale and...well. I think you figured out he's unconscious by now. ||David|| Yes, let's. * Reisha accidentally smacks David's face. ^^ "Whoops." * David grimaces ^^; ||David|| Save it for bed. ;) ||Kodah|| Don't give up on Darin yet Jess ||David|| C'mon, people.. * Hans is still waiting outside * ||Reisha|| Oh you little monster... just lead us out of here. ;) * Aura hugs Jess quickly and walks back to the group * Jessica just stands there.... * David winks at Rei slyly, murmuring. "we still need to figure out the bed roll situation." * Aura sighs and drags Jess back with her ^^; * Jessica slaps Aura's hand away. "Can't you see I want to be alone for a while?" ||David|| C'mon.. ||David|| Lets wait outside. * David heads out.. ;) * Aura sighs softly.."as long as you dont split out on us.." * Hans follows alongside David * ||Hans|| This is gonna be a looooonnng journey... * Kodah shakes his head, then steps out of the shrine ||Jessica|| Kodah...a minute if you don't mind. ||Hans|| So, David, should we head back to that town back there? * Reisha starts pushing David forward some, smirking at his newfound brashness. ^^ * Kodah stops, turns around, and waits for Jess to contine ||Jessica|| I just want to talk to you. You were with the last Shining Force, right? * David turns, walking backwards, and takes Rei's hand and kisses her knuckles gallantly. ;) ||Kodah|| Correct ||David|| I think we'll go back to the town...I'd rather not sleep on mud. ;) ||Hans|| Aye... ||Hans|| I'll go on ahead ||David|| Secure us rooms, Hans.. ||Jessica|| you know that I'm actually from Guardiana..right? ||Hans|| I'll meet you guys at the inn. Sure. ||Hans|| How much should it cost? * Aura sighs softly.."i'm going to town too..." ||Hans|| I'll run ahead. ||Kodah|| I gathered that, yes ||Jessica|| your former leader...actually raised me for the better part of my life. ||David|| Not much...uh....five should do. ||David|| Rooms, that is. ||Tiernan|| ... ||Hans|| Okay... Five rooms... That should be from 500-1000GP. Do you have that much on you? ||Kodah|| I have noticed some similaries in temperment over time ||Hans|| I'm... *Sigh* Kinda broke... ||David|| Yes, Hans. ;P Don't worry. ^^; We'll pay when we get there.. * Reisha looks up for a moment. ||Hans|| Okay then. * Hans nods to David and Rei then sprints back to town at great speed * * Aura starts walking towards town..mumbles.."i think i have some money..i'll buy my own room.." * David blushes, gazing at Rei. ^^; ||Jessica|| she was always there when needed....and a great source of advice and inspiration. But I have to wonder what she was like as a leader...as a friend, instead of a mother figure....and mostly....what she would have done in such a situation. ||Reisha|| .oO( Giving up before you try.. maybe I can understand how Jess feels.. I guess she shouldn't lose her loved one just like that... ) ||Kodah|| Well, let me ask you this Jess ||Kodah|| What things did she try to teach you? Out of combat * David cups Rei's chin. "Hey, gold piece for your thoughts, beautiful?" ||Jessica|| always to believe in yourself, your friends and to make the best of each moment...because you never know when your time might run out. * Reisha pauses her thinking gig to look at David. :) * Tiernan begins to slide out of Kodah's hands. ^^: ||Kodah|| And if you run after Dark Dragon without the rest of us, are you beleiving in us? And that Darin will recover? * David raises an eyebrow, gazing into Rei's eyes. "Mm?" * Kodah adjusts to keep Tyr from falling ||Reisha|| Ahh.. nothing. Just thinking how I kinda sympathesize with Jess. ||David|| Ah.....hm......damn, and here I thought I could make some kind of witty come back to whatever you said.. ;) ||Jessica|| I don't know anymore, Kodah. I know you all are strong people. We've been through so much...but that dragon...he... * Reisha blinks, eyes twinkling. "Sorry to dissapoint ya, hotshot." ;) * David winks and ruffles Rei's hair. "Come on, lets walk back. We have a room waiting for us. A nice hot bath...?" * Tiernan actually looks a bit dirty himself. ^^; ||Kodah|| We've all been through a lot Jess ||Kodah|| But keep in mind * Darin looks like crap ;P ||Kodah|| Your instructor didn;t ever give up on the Shining Force * Kodah turns to leave, "And you shouldn't either." * Reisha rubs her hands. "Hot and steamy, alright..." *winks* "Let's hope Jess doesn't poop out after all this." * Tiernan goes along with Kodah...because he has no choice in the matter. * David blushes and drapes an arm around Rei's shoulders, starting off.. "I doubt she will....c'mon, love, let's book it." ;) * Jessica picks up Darin and walks back to town. Her mind still racing as she wonders what she should do. * Reisha takes David's arm, and heads out! * Kodah carries Tyr back to town, figuring he needs a lot of rest ||Narrator|| After a crushing defeat at the hands of Dark Dragon, the Shining Force limps back to town to lick their wounds clean... What was that voice calling for David? Will it prove to be another danger or a blessing? Only time will tell... ||Narrator|| ==== Session end! =====
