The priestess wakes up alone, confused at first as to where she is. Then memories start coming back. Last night...she blushes a bit as she remembers last night. And smiles. It had been a perfect night. The party...and after the party. Mmmm.
She sits up suddenly. She can remember! Most of the time her memories remain hazy at best due to the constant interference of the goddess, but no more. She remembers the ritual, and the sacrifice of the kobold. She feels somewhat guilty about that, and yet she cannot help but be happy. She is finally free to be herself. And no longer constrained to be quite so nice. Not that she was planning on doing anything wicked, just perhaps being occasionally naughty. She grins as she thinks of the possibilities.
She summons her clothing, and after donning her customary chainmail bikini heads out in search of breakfast.
Alaina awakes and tosses the satin sheets off her limber form. She yawns and pads out to the master bath, slipping out of her black negligee as she walks. After a long hot shower she emerges into her walk in closet. Donning a casual yellow knit top and black shorts combination she applies her makeup and does her hair.
Finally satisfied with her look, she descends to the outdoor patio to see who is about.
A few cambion nurse Bloody Marys at one of the bistro tables. A maralith still snores in the corner, her six arms wrapped around a lipstick-covered Argenach Rilmani. Malice Jack is still around, nursing a Harvey Wallbanger and looking hungover.
Alaina spots Lynora-Jill and walks up to her.
Sweetie! How are you! Is everything OK? Where is JH?
Sweetie! How are you! Is everything OK? Where is JH?
Hi! She smiles at her friend and gives her a hug. Oh my goodness, what happened to you? I love the new look!
I'm great. Really couldn't be better. The goddess has no more influence on me. For the first time I'm really free to be myself.As far as JH's whereabouts, he probably went back to the clubhouse. He was gone when I woke up. He doesn't exactly require a lot of rest, she adds with a mischievous grin.
Alaina smirks and twirls
You like? I asked the monkey for a makeover. 'Priestess of Calistria' is a job title, not a name!
She whistles
Hey Acme? How's about a couple of margaritas over here?
Rosie? Any cold cuts left over from last night?
Guides Lynora-Jill to a table.
SO... tell me everything ...giggles
Grabs a margarita and sips at it while she gives Alaina a very thorough account of last night's events.
Jack Hammer strolls into the club. As he heads over to the bar he notices lynora-Jill and some new girl giggling over drinks. He gives lynora-Jill a wink and orders 2 Dark & Stormys. He leans his back against the bar and surveys the party. No enemies here either. Fun, yet relaxing.
He takes in the scents of the club. He doesn't care much for the chemicals in the large pool, but the scent of the tropical plants is soothing.
It's weird. He never noticed these kinds of things before.
Looks up suddenly from her giggled conversation
Funny, I felt like a goose just walked across my grave .. shivers
notices JH at the bar.
Uh oh Lyn, here comes JH.
Smiles mischeviously
Stalks to the poolside and takes up a shadowy perch under a festive umbrella...ignoring the cambions' invitation to sit with them.
when whatever passes for a server approaches, he drops a coin etched in runes in the server's hand and says, "meeeeeeeeead." Dust kicks out of a dry throat at the demand of the words.
enters with a big long brush and net thingy, proceeds to "clean the pool," and check the pH levels.
Looks over at the malformed fey spirit vigorously scrubbing the pool.
Funny, I don't recal hiring that little dude.
hee hee hee hee hee!!!
Nunyin hired me!!!
Scrub the pool I be!!!
....ignore it...this.....too shall pass...everything ends, even the gods...

Pockets the coin and zips off when he gets the variety the newcomer wishes
....mead....beemaid made......

shakes her titan tresses bemusedly
There are a lot of strange folk that dwell in the Deep Interthereal Sea.
Deep inter....wha?
I knew I shoulda made that right toin at Albukoikey!!!
....a stranger....just a friend you haven't doomed by knowing you yet....
casts the goatknuckles...

A nerdy man with a hunters cap and a gun pops out from behind a table
Be vewwy vewwy quiet .... I'm hunting Leprecawwns ..
AHAHAAHAHHAHAHA!
*Flies sadly in*
...pool choolery,
pool choolery,
pool choo charoo,
a pool sweep's as lucky
as lucky can do....
meeeeeeeeeah...what's up, doc?
Sighs, and puts the chronometer away. Leaves a couple of shiny electrum pieces minted in Xin-Shalast on the counter to pay for that icy beer when it arrives. Takes out a business card marked with the Sihedron rune, and scribbles on it This is for you, Uncle Meepo, and leaves it to be placed with that beer whenever it gets here.
Perambulates out of the club, out of the thread and back into the darkness.
*Stomps in*
DAMMIT! I lose my connection for a few hours an' when I get back, the guy's already gone?*Drinks beer angrily*
Now I gotta reboot my Evil Detector!
*Spends some time rebooting it, then orders it to trace the Runelord again*
This is takin' forever!
<Walks in, looks around.>
"Bingo!"

Well, so much for a normal night. Maybe this is normal for here though.
Orders 2 mojitos and heads over to lynora-Jill.
shakes the rune bones in his cup.....tosses them on the cabana lounge table....
....jack and.....jill....went up the...hill....and..and...~shudders~
oh,....no...no....
*walks up to JH and whispers something in his ear.*
Or we could just dance for awhile. *wink*
tall, and tan....and young, and lovely.....
the girl from Ipenema goes walking.....
and...
throws the runes
MNAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
*zips through the crowd gathering empty cups and delivering refills where needed.*
Hey! I keep my partials in there!!!
tall, and tan....and young, and lovely.....
the girl from Ipenema goes walking.....

throws the runes
MNAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
I never throw runes with complete strangers ...
meeeeeeeeeah...what's up, doc?
It's Lepwechan season, and you my fwiend are a full-of-fail lepwechan!
Consults a large tome
Now my bullet does 2d6 damage, but ONLY if the line of fire is unobstructed, OTHERWISE the wules say thewe is a 20% chance of doing only 1d6. Thanks to my Looney Tunes cwank twollarrific homewule kit I can also adjutate an additional AoO if the tawget has a fey template ...
Becomes engrossed in the thick tome
*walks up to JH and whispers something in his ear.*

How 'bout both? Dancing can be a great warm up. You know, stretch the muscles? Wouldn't want you cramping up.

*Giggles* Sounds good to me. *Smiles up at him and walks towards the dance floor.*
As JH tries his best to keep up with his sinuous partner he tries to keep track of the weird crowd here tonight. He wishes a couple of Jacks would stop by in case this goes south.
So, who's your new friend?

Alaina is the priestess of Calistria. This is her place. You met her before. She just got a bit of a makeover. And a name. Which makes things a bit less confusing seeing that we're both priestesses.

You priestesses sure make it hard to keep up.
Uh oh. Those dryads keep looking at me, and not so nicely at you. What's up with that?

Ummm, you may have flirted with them a bit a couple of days ago. Don't worry about it. I'm sure they'll get over it.

Cries as the small plane flies away with his tome.
AH HA HA AH!
"There, now where were we? Oi, you 'ave an I.D.? doont mek me ruff y'up."
Sniffles miserably, then begins to rustle in his coat pockets, coming up with oddly-shaped dice, a pocket edition of Bartlett's 1337 Speek Insult Quotations, and an autographed picture of the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.
I know I have my Official Supewsmart Gameologist ID cawd somewhewe ..He mutters
he turns his back...and his fluffy leprechaun tail shows between the coattails of the bobby suit.
L_E's face turns an intersting shade of purple. He clutches his blunderbuss until his knobbly knuckles are white with rage.

Aims his gun at Spanky
