Yep yep. Gotta get the storyline focused for the next bit coming up here, neh? ;)

Gonna be lots of teething issues with that boy now, I can just see it...owwie O.O

At least he's beyond the nursing stage! ;)

"I think you might have, but it's okay. I think it was probably a good thing. Wandering around asleep holding a mysterious magical amulet is probably not really a good thing."

"Er, I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Aananda. I'd go back to my room now, but I can't remember which one it is."

"I'm Razule. I only just arrived this morning, or yesterday I guess. I heard Lady Adsila say you could have her room. I can take you to it... if you want."

"Thanks. That's very kind of you, Razule. It's an interesting place. Not like the temple at all, but still very nice. I hope you're happy here as well. It's not nice to be somewhere where you aren't happy."

Does Aananda have low-light/darkvision?

"It's a lot nicer here than the last place I stayed. All the snakes in Ormarr's room are a little scary though. Come on, I'll take you to Lady Adsila's room now."

He begins to lead Aananda through the house, stopping once to go into a room. When he comes back out, he isn't carrying anything.


She has darkvision and blindsight

"Really? I don't see anything scary about the snakes at all." She shrugged. "But then I'm told I can be a little weird about what I am and am not afraid of. Mostly that I'm not afraid of much at all."

Aananda realizes she she has seen Razule before.. when he got cuaght after stealing on of Tam's spell bullets.

"You don't think snakes are scary? But they never blink.."

"I don't think you're weird."

"Well, thanks....oh, now I know where I've seen you before. And I think this probably is a lot nicer than that," she added with a grin.

She shrugged. "You know, it never occurred to me that they don't blink. They're kind of fascinating. The patterns of their scales and such."


Razule flinches when Aananda says she's seen him before. He didn't know she could see in light this dim..

"Yeah.. they don't blink, you can't hear them moving, they wrap around stuff. They just seem really creepy to me."

"It's okay. I don't think less of you. Not everybody gets to have a happy family who take good care of them."

"Hmmm. I hear them moving just fine. Guess that's just another oddity of mine. The Masters were always commenting on how not normal I was. But it's okay if you don't like snakes. I mean, it's not like it's required that everybody has to."


N.B.
I think we've all done a bang-up job of restraining ourselves from saying "Snakes. Why did it have to be....snakes?"

Oh, wait. Damn..... ;D


Relaxing, Razule starts walking again and stops just outside of a door with a leaf on it.

"This is Lady Adsila's room. You can tell because her door has a leaf on it. Mine and Ormarr's has a snake and a vial on it, and Ryo's has a card with an eye on it. If you have any questions about a room and Ryo isn't around, you can find me in my room or the room with three vials on the door."

He turns and starts walking back down the hallway.

He turns and starts walking back down the hallway.

"Thank you."

Aananda went back into her room and crept back into bed, trying not to disturb Ephebe. She set the amulet carefully back into her pack. Hopefully it wouldn't cause any more nighttime excursions tonight.


So, barring interrupted sleep, are we ready to move on?

Yep.


A late-posted (with apologies) good evening to all.


Morning all.


Good morning.


It's so.. nice without the noise and reality warping. Why do we want to get Jiminy again?

Sorry, it's a parental thing. I have to. As much trouble as he is, he's still family. :)

Hm.. he's not my family by blood, but I guess you're right... Plus Razule can make candy. Exploding candy, but candy nonetheless.

...exploding candy might not be so bad. I mean, not bad enough to hurt him, but maybe enough to put him off sweets. That kid needs to lay off the sugar. ;)

Depending on the timeline, yes. ;)

Much hectic today...finally got a chance to breathe... ^.^

I know how that goes. Hope your day gets less hectic. :)

It's the good kind of hectic, though, so I can't rightly complain :P


Time for me to roll out. A restful evening to all :)

Don't you need to transform before you roll out? XP

Wrong avvy for that ;)

Mornin' folks.


Ah, don't be like that Tam, I'm sure Aananda could make it posible...

Ryo wakes up, blinking the last vistiges of pain away. Once he has stretched and gone through a bit of meditation, he goes to the kitchen, where wonderful scents are wafting through the entire house. It seems Adsila and Ormarr got up early to fix a delicious breakfast, and judging from the pitcher of what looked like blue-green water, Razule had chipped in too. A sip from a cup reveals it tastes like cool mountain air with a hint of mint. Just that sip makes Ryo more aware, and he settles down after filling his cup to wait for the others.

Tam wakes up to light pouring in from a nearby window onto his face. Blinking, he gets up from the chair. Stretching out the sore spots, he wanders around until he finds a bathroom, then heads for the kitchen.

"Power to the conscious," he mutters to Ryo as he looks out the window to see if the scenery has changed any more since yesterday's 'incident'.


Aananda woke up early and went through her morning stretches. Ephebe groaned and put her pillow over her head. Apparantly she didn't like mornings. Satisfied that she was reasonably battle-ready, Aananda grabbed her bag and headed downstairs.

"Hi,guys," she said with a forced smile. She was trying to be cheerful, but she was too worried to pull it off. "Ummmm....there's something I should probably tell you. I went wandering through the house in my sleep a bit last night. The amulet was apparantly taking me on a bit of a field trip. I don't know where I would have ended up if Razule hadn't accidentally woken me. So, errr....I just thought you should know. Ooh, breakfast."

She filled a plate with what should be enough for ten people, but which they were becoming aware was more of an appetizer course for her.

"The new kid," she said between bites. "He tried to pick your pocket back in the city, but really he's nice. Just, you know, he was in a bad situation, and now he's not. Pass the syrup?"

"Uh-huh," he replies as he hand her the syrup bottle. She's not sure he was actually listening to what she just said, from the faraway look on his face. He seems to focus back on the here and now a few seconds later.

"Hmmm."


Ryo smiles when Aananda mentions Razule, and pushes the pitcher closer to her.
"I'm not sure when, but he made this. It's better than coffee at waking you up. If he keeps at it, he'll be better at cooking that Adsila and Ormarr."

"So, he lets you call him Razule? He keeps telling Ormarr and myself to call him Razzy. He doesn't seem to mind Addy calling him Razule either."

She takes a sip. "This is really good." She drains her glass and appears to be more her usual cheerful hyperactive self.

"I bet James would absolutely adore that stuff." She looked sad then. "The thing that took him did something awful to him. I can't get into his dreams anymore. He's blocking me out. What little I did see was nothing but candy."

"Then I guess we need to throw caution to the the wind if we're going to get both him and Kannic back. Time to match power with power, if only for a short time anyway."

"You need to put that amulet on. After breakfast."

She stopped, fork halfway to her mouth and stared at him.

"It tried to run away with me and ou want me to wear it?" she squeaked.


"I can get 4 different types of wards placed around you if you want to make sure it isn't dangerous."

"As for fighting power with power, that is an idea that needs only one more thing.. subterfuge."

And we're going to manage subterfuge against a time demon how?"

"No I don't. But I've already tried to take that bullet for the team, and I can't get the thing to work for me. It seems to have some.....affinity for you, and its powers seem to be on the more positive side of the scale, so I don't think it's a harmful item - I wouldn't even be talking about this otherwise."

"We need all the help we can get if we have to take on someone with the power of both a demon and the regional government in their pocket. And we don't have the luxury of time if what you said about Jim...James is true. They're probably doing worse to Kannic as we speak."

"The only other option is for Ryo to find out exactly where this person is so I can rain down an apocalypse on their head and end them. I doubt it would work, but it feels good saying it at least...."

"Either way, I don't think we have time for subterfuge. Especially if I'm now a ticking time bomb of indeterminate disaster."


Aananda wrote:
"And we're going to manage subterfuge against a time demon how?"

"Time is.. tricky. It's hard to explain the passage of time, because everyone feels it in a different way. The demon also has to be careful when it alters time. I'm going to try and explain why, but it's complicated..."

"Okay, going back in time to stop something is technically impossible unless a god intervenes. Let's say you travel back in time to stop yourself from falling out of a tree and breaking an arm. By doing this, the you that broke your arm no longer exists, because you didn't break an arm, which means there is no reason for you to go back in time to keep the arm for breaking, so with no need to go back in time you wouldn't have, and thus would still break an arm."

He stops and thinks for a moment.
"Yeah.. that doesn't make a lot of sense to me either..."

"And the subterfuge I'm talking about is really more of a back up plan."

"I don't need to find the person at all, just your blood. Speaking of time, where is our resident temporal preistess?"


"No, Ryo, that's not right. I saw it in James's dreams before. I tried to explain, but it sounds too crazy. See, reality is layered, and in one reality you fell out of the tree and in another close layer you didn't. You can never effect the timeline you come from, only parallel ones. The trick is steering things to the one you want. Also, we have to defeat the time demon in all of them or she just comes back over and over. But how do you defeat someone throughout an infinity of possible realities? I haven't figured it out yet and neither has Ephebe. Who is still sleeping by the way. I guess she's not really a morning person."

She fell silent and then unexpectedly got up and gave Tam a hug.

"We'll figure this out. Somehow. Eventually. I hope."


M Dwarf Rogue 9/Ranger 3

Kannic awakes with a start, the change of environment setting his dulled senses back on active mode. Looking around quickly, he realizes that he can now see again. The inky blackness is gone. With no immediate threat apparent he checks for his gear. Nothing. In a panic he looks down. The black and white of his darkvision doesn't hide the fact that he is naked. It also doesn't hide the fact that this isn't the body he thinks he remembers. --He's not sure of his memories anymore.-- His already hairy arms are even more so, but even the muscles on his arm are 'increased'. He looks closer. His hands are more muscular as well, and his fingernails look like small claws. Panic sets in as he continues the self examination.

His senses tingle as he catches wind of a threat in the Tunnels. Scent. When did he learn how to scent?

Tam, surprised, turns a little red, then hugs her back.

"Darned right. 'Never say die', or something inspirational like that," he says with a chuckle.

"Now did you leave anything in this kitchen for me to steal a bit of, or do I need to go foraging in the garden...?" :)

And it's driving time for me :)


"Of course there's still food left. I only had firsts. I was waiting to see what was left before I ate anything more." ^.^

Come back to us Jiminy, and turn 10 or 11 years old, so you can play(nicely) with Razule and he can show you how to make candies...
