Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Gonna be slow for like five minutews as Itowel off from shower.))

Singha: Hmnn that was weird

Okami yuki: ((what wierd?))

Singha: no problem, Rave we're a bit early as it is

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((here))

Singha: Rather than spend a lot of time moving around from room to room, i'm going to suggest we simply start and stay here

Angelia Caponelli: (works for me)

Okami yuki: ((ok...=P))

Singha: So right now, i'm asking for a summary of what you are doing to prepare for this ritual, including what you did last night, any information you wish to impart to the others, and whether or not your character has reservations or doubts.

Singha: I'm going to ask that if you have some question for the ST that relates to the scene, please pM it in the room, so that it shows up in the log, rather than bother me in iCQ. of course if I do'n't respond to your PM, feel free to prod me in ICQ.

Karlos: Karlos gives Rauko the night off and spends it with his little girl and his husband, getting in some quality time with the two most precious things in his life. He feeds the fish, talks to his apartment, fusses the cat, and generally relaxes.

Singha: Oh, and be advised today's scene is happening on Feb 14th, yesterday's scene was on the 13th

Singha [feb 14]: There that should clear things up

Singha [feb 14]: (so it's valentine’s day. *G* I hadn't planned it that way but it's kinda appropriate for a group that's so got the Rose/love thing going...)

Okami yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((hum.. listing in order...*thinks* prepare.... They are going to be searching for Spirit for blessing, so as per what the Okami knows offerings, which consist on cherry flowers for the once Above, and she'll try to search seven small jade beans, uhh green jade for the one that will be Leave- Eyes white for Mirror, Heart- ther is one that is a bit brownish, but isn't entire, for Pillar, spine- red for Fists. Hands- one yellow for Lanter, Pillar and erhgs... a rather normal one ofr Courtier, Voice... mean if she can, if she can not, let me know =P I'll try to think on something, the idea is for each to wear it and knit it on a circle to give the Spirit in representation of Unity -.-- eyes Angelia and Ingvar!!!-- ergs.. other prepareation MEditate for the night after talking with Uncle and coming back to the building. info.. I said all last night to Angleia and Ingvar that I can think of.... and reservations.. jsut that this Sentai doens't seems exactly to united...*again peers and Angelia and Ingvar*))

Okami yuki: ((LOL... ergs... damm.. ok.. and here me thinking we were finally on MArch ;) ))

Angelia Caponelli: (Last night Ang spent going to the cearn to talk to Papa Rust and then spent a great deal of time talking to Okami about the various aspects of the body and how ideally they would function. She lets the whole sentai know two or three things over the course of the night/morning. First of all, that, she wasn't aware it hadn't been pointed out to the others, that the children of Cockroach are much much more suspectible to the effects of the algerhythm then ot hers. And that the heads of the Court and the Sept have been notified of this, so they can keep an eye out. Also that in some way they need to 'get the gifts back' from little Simba, be it by finding a host for him or by going back to rose island where the body was formed. But this needs to be done and they need to settle into their roles so that they will be ready to climb the mountain.)

Okami yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((and sorry that wasn't ment pm Singha,... I post again?))) Ingvar Urgahaldt: (heh- roxor. Ingvar feels the love.*L*)

Angelia Caponelli: (And Ang has no reservations what so ever about doing this. She has complete faith that they will 'pull their shit together' when they need to.)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: (Last night, Ingvar held off on information gathering from the new Kin, spent his time with a short fast and prayers to Thunder for strength and will to assist and lead this new pack. He sees though how Firesnake and Thunder are similar- screw tradition, do what works, change where you need to. He has made an appointment with Ang to heal the kin tomorrow night, he's wearing the amulet under his clothing, and he has reservations but mostly because we don't have five yet, I don't ~think~)

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami yuki: ((yes, post it to the room))

Okami yuki: well.. asking what gifts of little Simba?

Okami yuki: ((hum.. listing in order...*thinks* prepare.... They are going to be searching for Spirit for blessing, so as per what the Okami knows offerings, which consist on cherry flowers for the once Above, and she'll try to search seven small jade beans, uhh green jade for the one that will be Leave- Eyes white for Mirror, Heart- ther is one that is a bit brownish, but isn't entire, for Pillar, spine- red for Fists. Hands- one yellow for Lanter, Pillar and erhgs... a rather normal one ofr Courtier, Voice... mean if she can, if she can not, let me know =P I'll try to think on something, the idea is for each to wear it and knit it on a circle to give the Spirit in representation of Unity -.-- eyes Angelia and Ingvar!!!-- ergs.. other prepareation MEditate for the night after talking with Uncle and coming back to the building. info.. I said all last night to Angleia and Ingvar that I can think of.... and reservations.. jsut that this Sentai doens't seems exactly to united...*again peers and Angelia and Ingvar*))

Okami yuki: ((ergs... aslog trying to get a bit of the five elemtns, fire, which is easy, a bit of pil and fire on bowl, water easy too, too on bowl, wood easy, a bowl =P carved nicely.. ergs.. earth .. well to placed on bowl to be able tot hold and air... incense... I do not know what element the Corutier will be though... cause they NEED to carry the elemtns of each auspice and she deonst' know if they know which to chose =P))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Reyna "prepares" by NOT drinkin like a fish for once, and hanging out in the Penthouse, taking it easy, clearing her mind, all that fun stuff. Only reservation, honestly, is how well she can work with Ingvar.

Angelia Caponelli: (oh Okami when they had their talk she would have explained how they each gave a gift to Mas when they made him out of earth corresponding to what they were. Ang gave him breath and voice cause she was Voice for example. That Karlos has a lion cub made at the same time that holds thier gifts and they needs those parts to take to the mountain with them.)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: (right- that was the other thing we did- asked Okami how this sort of thing goes. Ingvar brought an actual torch. Like a tiki torch but short handled. Only thing he could think of- and since running up this mountain is to be literal, just in case they need light anyway.)

Okami yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: Makign sure if I have it right... Pillar is earth, mirror water?, leaf wind? fist fire and latner wood?

Okami yuki: (8ahh thanks Ang =) ))

Okami yuki: ((meh... true =P fine,*hides*))

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami yuki: ((Mirror is Silver, Pillar is wood, leaf wind, lantern fire, Fist earth, I think))

Okami yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((but silver is not one of the five elemtns that world...))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((oh hell we do have 5 whoops.))

Okami yuki: LOL

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami yuki: ((Yes, it is. It's metal. Metal, wood, fire, earth air water))

Okami yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: (aahhh.. oki =)))

Singha [feb 14]: ((You have more than five))

Karlos: ((Wherefore art Silkie?))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((I was thinking Kris and Malc too. Is that who we need?))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((that one too.))

Okami yuki: ((I don't know whom we all are.... Okami STILL wants to see all the faces =P))

Angelia Caponelli: (we're missing Silkie)

Silkie: (here)

Silkie: (link at the top of the page doesn't work)

Singha [feb 14]: I'm also going to ask that once this scene gets rolling, could you please not multitask and please pay attention, since alot of stuff can happen in a short time and you need to be paying attention in order to make informed decisions. There is a very real chance that your character may not survive this scene if you are not seriously paying attention to what's going on.

Singha [feb 14]: Yeah, I forgot to fix that link when I was fixing the JB room

Angelia Caponelli: (I'll do my best)

Okami yuki: oki

Singha [feb 14]: http://www.forgotten-ny.com/YOU'D%20NEVER%20BELIEVE/Broad%20Channel/channel.html

Silkie: (sets aside the chemistry for a bit)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Gotcha.))

Karlos: ((Put them kittens away, SG *G*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((still here, just put messengers on away.))

Okami yuki: ((finishes phone call. reminds the ST she needs to make sunday souper break and will try to let know withint 30 mins advance more or less))

Karlos: ((Anyone gonna invite Mas along?))

Singha [feb 14]: ((So, questions: Since kris and Mas have not shown up, have you all discussed a plan or devised one on how to get the gifts out of Simba? Do you know waht gifts you're looking for?))

Angelia Caponelli: (I missed the end of that scene, where did he end up?)

Okami yuki: ((uh... Mas uh... held?))

Karlos: ((He went off with Kris.))

Okami yuki: ((Singha, Okami was told joing the Sentai... great now we do it tomorrow!!! tada!))

Karlos: ((*prods everyone with the pointy stick* C'mon guys, I have three and a half hours tops))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((A plan has not been discussed to my knowledge. Reyna would suggest that perhaps they should.))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Mas went to the temple to pray with Kris. They returned a few hours later, and Ingvar came to talk to Mas and get his pendant back. That is the last anyone has seen of Mas))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((I don't. I had thought these gifts were to be taken out by origional Body members.))

Okami yuki: okokok... Sibma, THE spirit Simba has the gifts? *just gets it*

Silkie: (Isn't sure how we got here. Figures Silkie came to the KR building and hitched a ride with Ang or someone to get here.)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((When Ing spoke to Mas, did he say he was ready to go through with this?))

Karlos: ((Yes. The lion that Karlos is bringing with))

Silkie: ((Check Ingy's closet for Mas. *G*))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Upon questioning, a security guard says that Mas was hanging around the lobby when a man walked in and asked for some dry clothing. Mas gave him seom clothes, then went outside with him to look at a puppy. They spoke breifly and Mas came back inside. Then he left about 15 minutes later, saying he was going for a walk around the block. He hasn't returned))

Okami yuki: *blinks+ *is officialy confused*

Karlos: ((Okay, to me that sounds like Mas has been kidnapped. Am I the only one who's deeply suspicious here?))

Silkie: (Doh! Slaps forehead. We lost Mas ALREADY?!)

Singha [feb 14]: Mas did not say he was going through with it to Ingvar. Ingvar did not ask. To my knowlege Ingvar only asked for the pendant back.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Ingvar would want to see the security footage.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((All right. So what ARE the Gifts? All Reyna knows is "breath and voice."))

Okami yuki: (no.... was the man asian?))

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* Alright. Well here's my take on it. I think we should take Simba back to Rose Island where we made Dirt Mas. I think if we do that we don't have to actually bring them back together as one [infact I think forcing them back together when they're not ready is sort of counter productive]. That we should find where they were made in the dirt and take back the parts that correspond to the parts of the body we each represent now. There by assuming our new roles in the eyes of Firesnake.)

Silkie: (I thought Kristjan was watching him!)

Karlos: ((Okay, to the bat Rose-island! Karlos will provide directions.))

Karlos: 6,3,3,

Singha [feb 14]: ((Kristjan was watching him for a while. But kristjan is notoriously flakey at times. *G*))

Silkie: (Silkie will ask Ang what Nab's gift was.)

Karlos: ((Or not. Anyone else got a rose? *G*))

Okami yuki: *lost, listens*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((while also calling up Karlos, Ang, and Okami to let them know Mas has been taken or left of his own accord.))

Okami yuki: ((rose, rose, normal rose?))

Singha [feb 14]: ((okay so that I'm clear...you plan to infiltrate the Asian's territory, or you plan to ask permission to go to Rose Island to perform your ritual?))

Angelia Caponelli: (well the plan is up for debate if anyone has any input. Silkie - Nab made his eyes. Basically we all shaped the part corrisponding to the body parts we stood for.)

Okami yuki: ((take or left? how accurate *G*... ))

Karlos: Permission would be nice.

Okami yuki: ((I can try to make quick provate phone to Uncle...((

Angelia Caponelli: (That's just Ang's take on what they need to do. And LWS is connected to Rose Karlos. Ang's got that).

Karlos: A quick private phone call to Uncle would be lovely.

Silkie: (With an earring as I recall.)

Karlos: ((So ask LWS for directions *G*. Karlos can't rouse her on that roll))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Okami's route first, as few waves as possible. Make the call.*G*))

Okami yuki: ((*she'll try *nodnodnod* mean the Uncle knows she told him, she will only let know they need go there....))

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* to Silkie. Yeah I don't remember what everyone actually had. Ang had Rose choker on him I. Nab had an earring. Karlos ate his rose petals. I think John drank his water too.)

Singha [feb 14]: okami calls. Protests are made. An agreement is reached. the Body will be escorted to Rose Island from Far Rockaway.

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* Ang prefers asking permission to go out there first)

Karlos: ((*LOL*))

Okami yuki: that was fast! *S*

Singha [feb 14]: ((Ravyn: (10:40 PM) As the Spine of Harmony, Jeremy will give the mudbody his Honor and Compassion, represented by contributing his trusty staff of 6 years to serve as the Spine so that it may stand tall, and a single tear to give it compassion. ))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((So again, can we find out exactly what parts everybody needs to take back?))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Ingvar's little dance with Silkie in the park- that count as a bit o the Rose?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Which, by that, of course, I mean the actual items, not the "body part."))

Angelia Caponelli: (So we have the staff, the necklace, the earring... I don't know if we have to literally take them back so much as figeritively/symbolically take them back.)

Singha [feb 14]: ((everybody else just carved something in the mud to represent what they were00

Okami yuki: ((icly and oocly listens lostly* *G*))

Singha [feb 14]: ((They all kept/ate their gifts from Firesnake and didn't give them to the mudbody00

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* that's what I thought. So it is the part of the body that's important Reyna)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Okay. I'm just trying to make sure everyone is on the same page and understands what exactly we're doing.))

Singha [feb 14]: Malcolm provides a boat. You all board it together. You motor through the harbor into Far Rockaway, where you are met by a flotilla of boats filled with armed Asian types. Silke finds these people familiar

Okami yuki: 88*G* not there Reyna ;) but about to go =P)) *The Okami will normally, regally regard them, and just keep on with her position on boat*

Silkie: *Sitting up on the bow of the boat, she smiles and waves at the guys. Especially the one that thought she was a kite.*

Singha [feb 14]: ((I don't think anybody understands what they're supposed to be doing until the person who's supposed to be their leader breifs them on their tasks))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*NODNODNODNOD*))

Okami yuki: ((jejejje dunno even who is suposed to be Leader =P ))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Without the Rose Brand or Tattoo, tho the dance may mean Ingvar's felt Rose's presence, he doesn't have a bond with Rose, so he doesn't have Rose with him))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((on the way over- does Okami mention these beads?))

Silkie: *She could have sworn the island was the other way. Huh.*

Karlos: He brings more comfortable clothes, and changes en-route.

Okami yuki: ((yes, she'll give the ones that belong to each to each *blinks trying to figure out if this makes sense*))

Faris: Much more comfortable *G*

Angelia Caponelli: On the boat Ang 'checks in with' everyone, just asking how they're feeling and such. Ang is in her new 'feminine', acceptable-to-the-courts clothes. Her firesnake pendent around her neck.

Okami yuki: ((and the Okami will be wearing only wood like jewlerdly))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Addressing the group over the roar of the boat.* Last night, Angelia and I spoke with Okami regarding the ceremony to take place after this with the mud creature is done. Are the rest of you already familiar, or do you need a briefing?

Okami yuki: ((nhe?!. he just became she-he-it on boat?))

Silkie: Is dressed in painted on leather pants and the backless sparkly blouse that Eli decked her out in last night to go to the rave. She's even wearing boots, and all her clothes fit. A bit of glittery make-up. She's looking good. Hair dangling in a hundred thin beaded braids.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sits comfortably on the boat, watching the water in front of the bow with a mildly curious look as she waits for them to be escorted. As Ingvar speaks, she raises a hand. "A briefing would be good, yeah."

Silkie: "I want a briefing, please."

Okami yuki: *she would remind regally quiet, listening on the way, unless neeeded to, regarding each Member, the faces*

Angelia Caponelli: She looks to Ingvar and nods, moving back to take a seat and listen.

Singha [feb 14]: Those who are familiar with how Rose Island used to look are quite horrified to see it now when it looms out of the fog: What was once a lush, vibrant island filled with trees, underbrush and rose brambles is a sterile lump of mud and rock, covered with a black layer of soil that reflects where the oily flames burned all the foliage.

Okami yuki: *did know it, so she merely regards the mudy piece of land*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He gestures to the beads.* With these, we each bring a representation of the element our position reflects. At the appropriate time we will climb the mountain- and work together to accomplish this. *He looks toward Reyna* I am going to speak in broad terms, and know nothing of your own people. Take no offense. *Polite enough, but he states it rather bluntly.* Consider it similar to a group rite of passage. Yes?

Singha [feb 14]: there is no dock. A large yacht--familiar to Karlos, Silkie and Okami, is moored in the deeper water farther out from the island. ((And I'm just gonna be dropping descriptions in until you guys tell me you're ready to proceed.))

Angelia Caponelli: (nods)

Silkie: *Hiking up a mountain with her friends. It sounds like an outing. Silkie is cheerfully nodding, apparenly looking forward to the impending adventure.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "None taken. S'cool."

Okami yuki: ((ok... ))

Singha [feb 14]: On the small lagoon where the dock used to be, a cadre of formally and ceremonially dressed Asians stand, waiting for the group. Ah Bing Shen is respendant in a scarlet kimono emblazoned with cherry blossoms and crysanthemums

 

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks toward Angelia, making ready to leave the boat.* This is where my details get hazy. If the calling of spirits becomes something we must take a greater part in than I expect, we will follow your lead. Now we need to proceed- before they get too curious. *He squints his eyes at the boat, sort of herding Silkie off out of habit.*

Okami yuki: no Rite of Passage Irgahaldt San.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks at the bead that's been given her and then up to Ingvar, nodding slightly, perhaps looking a little encouraging.

Singha [feb 14]: Malcolm guides the boat into the lagoon and waits. Scarily, tho perhaps not surprisingly, the flotilla of armed boats surrounds Malc's boat and basically....traps them there.

Okami yuki: *and the asian lady rises, stepping out of the boat with security*

Silkie: *Herded off the boat, she looks horrified by the devastation of the island.* "Where are all the trees and brambles?"

Okami yuki: ((or not))

Angelia Caponelli: "I believe, Mind, that we must first find Snake's gifts and bring them to the mountain with us." She says softly. "Then I suspect the elders." Her head turns to indicate the asians waiting for them, "Will start the ritual for us."

Faris: ((Sorry, Bootsie was being a pain, so I shot her))

Silkie: (Ing gives everyone a bead?)

Singha [feb 14]: Since he has not, to his knowledge, been formally requested to join the Sentai, Malc prepares to remain with the boat. If someone gives him a bead, he stares at it curiously, thne looks to Karlos as if to ask "What should I do?"

Okami yuki: ((lol)) *she nods faintly at Angelia words, looking around the Island and then towards where Ah Bing Shen is*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He seems suprised, but distantly pleased to see Ah Bing Shen as he moves off the boat with the others.* ((Sorry- I don't know about any further tasks, unless I am badly missing something on my crib notes here. Up the moutain, join together, try oh try to stomach the Slav is about as far as I got.*G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She gets up, nodding, and moves to deboard, looking around with a frown and a raised eyebrow at the look of the island.

Faris: He glances to Malcolm, gesturing for him to take the bead.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((right- the gifts.)) Angelia- do you know where we are to find these gifts? Anyone? *Spoken before reaching the elders.*

Okami yuki: ((Okami asked Angelia whom the members would be and what they would represent to be able to give beands to those who needed it... as stated.. uh... Mirror is white, Pillar is brownish wood coloured, leaf bluish, lantern is red , Fist is one slightly between white and brow as is Earth.. and Courtier is a normal jade looking one, with slight beads of others colors, as a Courtier needs to be maleavle and versatil )

Silkie: *Adds her bead to those already decorating her hair, for safe keeping.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Under Okami's direction, he passes out the beads. Each a different color, everyone gets one and he keeps one himself. Spoken quietly to Okami* Arigato, Okami san. I had forgotten.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over the ruined island witha profoundly sad expression. "We made him near here."

Okami yuki: I do not even knew of this gifts before today urgahaldt san *walking, her cloths too carry a bit of earthy embroiderings*))

Singha [feb 14]: A small boat is ferrying a group from the yacht. It runs aground near where Ah Bing Shen is, and those familiar with the General, and Prisoner Mas see the General exit, wearing a black kimono with a gold dragon killing a flaming snake exits the boath. Behind him, three men drag the Prisoner Mas/Trev out of the boat and force him to the ground on his knees.

Okami yuki: *she will only smile softly to Ingvar* is fine, do not worry

Faris: He/she/it regards the bead it holds, turning it this way and that curiously. ((*bags the white bead*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He pauses- stopping Faris and Malcom. He looks between the two of them.* For this ceremony, take off the collar. We form a ring of equals. No part will be slave to the heart in the function of this body.

Okami yuki: *and she merely closes slightly her hands, breathing in, expression not changing as she sees them exit, she though makes a head bow, more visible to Uncel and Ah Bing Shen when she is within doing so distance*

Faris: Puts a hand out, holding Malcolm back before he can even get started. "Ingvar, you know not what you ask. Leave the collar as it is."

Singha [feb 14]: Malcolm takes the bead, then puts it in his mouth, stripping down to his boxers and then shifting up to Sokto. He takes a knife, slices his left bicep open, and inserts the bead, holding the flesh closed so it regenerates over the bead.

Okami yuki: *and she too regards Faris and Malcom as Ingvar sates that, a light frown nearly cossing her face, before she looks back towards the Elders*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He stares quite bluntly into Faris' eyes.* It will not interfere with his ability to function on his own. *Its a statement.*

Silkie: *Gives Mas a worried look and scowls at his guards.*

Singha [feb 14]: "I'll be the left arm," Malcolm says. "The left hand. Closest to the heart."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes her bead, whichever color is is, and pockets it. At the sight of Trevor dragged and forced to his knees, her eyes narrow and her posture stiffens a little.

Angelia Caponelli: (Sorry I thought we'd gotten them already) Ang takes her bead and threads it onto the chain her firesnake pendent hands from. She looks over to Ingvar, tries to catch his eye and when she does shakes her head slightly when he asks Malcolm to take the collar off.

Okami yuki: ((eh...)) *oh... ok, regarding both.. men, Malcomd doing so, then to Karlos, she does stat* a Senta is a Circle, is must remind true to succes as a Circle, no bumps

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *As he speaks to them, he watches Malcom. Brilliant kid. He strips off his own simple cotton clothing, holding out one arm to Malcom as he does so to get this on quickly.* Mine too.

Faris: "No. It will not." Gazes evenly back at Ingvar.

Okami yuki: *is all she says as she regards again her Elders, as the party seems to halt momentarily*

Angelia Caponelli: She survies the group, her dark eyes lingering on Trevor for a long moment before she's able to pull them away.

Singha [feb 14]: MAlcolm winces a bit, but cuts into Ingvar, inserting the bead and holding the flesh closed as it regenerates.

Faris: Stands there quietly as the boys play slice 'n' dice.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to Faris, the matter dropped that simply*

Okami yuki: ((ergs... guys... she DId say they would kinth the beads on a Circle in front of the Spirit... to represent the forming of the Sentai...*signals way up*...))

Singha [feb 14]: Kelly Nguyen, The Lord Watanabe, Fang Shu, The General Jinchiro Satu, and the Seer, Trong Dhok, are all in a group, waiting for the Sentai group to leave Malc's boat and join them on the shore.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She bites her lower lip a little, looking at Angelia, then back ahead, to Ah Bing Shen.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Throws the crap back on, covering up a rather morbid latticework of scars, and moves to stand in the front as they approach the elders.*

Okami yuki: *she then states* are you finish? we need to move *spoken softly in her cared English*

Faris: ((Yes, but boys have to be macho *G*))

Faris: Disembarks from the boat and approaches Trevor calmly.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *As he passes Angelia- never looking to Trevor, he squeezes her shoulder, whispering.* Keep your mind on the sentai, Angelia. Have your place secured before you use it to get back what is yours, yes?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She follows along behind Ingvar, keeping her face even, relaxed.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((right. I'm feelin macho- so all is well.*L*))

Okami yuki: ((lol.. true. ture)) *and she steps down, surely, moving over. As said, making a slight deeper bow to her Elders and Ah Bing Shen, even if it reminds a regal one, is a respetous one*

Singha [feb 14]: Malcolm dosen't bother to dress himself, remaining in his boxers only. He proudly displays his tattoos and his scars, his pierced nos and nipple, his white gold, rose encrusted collar.

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Ingvar, looking up at him and offers a faint smile to indicate she's alright. She turns her attention then to the island again, getting her bearings to remember where from here they made dirt Mas

Singha [feb 14]: As Faris breaks away from the group, the guards bring their weapons up on him, and Watanabe says "Please. Keep your distance from the prisoner. His punishment is to be meted out today."

Silkie: *Alert, curious, but unhappy about the devastation of the island, she gives Ah Bing a small wave.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Manner quite Japanese, the young Judge gives everyone time to form up, then bows before the row of asians.*

Singha [feb 14]: Ah Bing Shen smiles and gives the Sentai group a brief little bow, and then looks to see whch event is occuring first.

Okami yuki: *hears Watabe san and her eyes drift momentarily to him and Uncle.*

Faris: Gazes at Watanabe, giving him one of those 'in my mind, I'm squishing your heed' looks. "We're here, Trevor," he says calmly, loudly enough for the prisoner to hear. "Father Manhattan holds you in his heart."

Angelia Caponelli: She moves over to fall in in the back of the Sentai and returns Ah Bing Shen's bow. She's still not a natural but she seems to be getting better at the formal gesture.

Singha [feb 14]: Watanabe motions toward the top of the rise, where the graves of Billy and Mas were, where the sword was buried in the stone, where the circle surrounding the diamond throne was formed. Where Mas' mudbody was created.

Okami yuki: *and holds, form sighing her eyes drifting to Angelia as Karlos goes on*

Faris: He turns, beckoning Simba to follow, and waits to head up the rise with the others.

Okami yuki: *and looks to Watabe san again as he motions, already having saluted the Elders and Ah Bing Shen*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She follows the group habit of the bow, hers very stiff and unnatural, like she's not at ALL used to the formality. Imagine that.

Silkie: *gets in a bow with the others*

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Watanabe and looks over Trevor again, trying to catch his eye for a moment before she turns to Ingvar, waiting for him to lead them up that way.

Singha [feb 14]: Those who are observant or have a good nose, will note that Trevor-Mas has a severed Achilles tendon. He is naked save for a loin cloth. There is no blue line across his chest any longer. His eyes are red rimmed, his expression a bit wild. He's obviously not slept well for some time.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His face turns just inches to ensure that Faris is paying attention, then he starts up the rise.*

Okami yuki: *she says very softly to Angelia* we follow the lead of Lantern up

Okami yuki: ((DLP))

Silkie: *Gives Trevor a worried look, but keeps her place with the soon-to-be sentai.*

Faris: S/he's certainly paying attention to something. Probably something really stupid. But he does offer a gentle bow to Ah Bing Shen as he passes the little woman.

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Okami and starts moving once Ingvar does.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: And up, up the rise she goes, moving along with the group.

Singha [feb 14]: ((Doh, the wound on Trev's ankle is infected, hence the good noses smelling that)) Simba bounds over to the prisoner, ignoring the guns becauce he doesn't know what they are. He sniffs the wound experimentally, then charges after Faris.

Okami yuki: *Moves along, her pase certain, with a last look to Uncel and Ah Bing Shen, not meaning nothing, really.*

Singha [feb 14]: The Sentai goes up, then the cadre of Asians, then at last the guards drage the prisoner along.

Faris: Pets Simba as he comes within range, grinning at him proudly.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang finds it's hard to do, there's a bit of tention in her shoulders with a wounded Trevor near by, but she keeps her attention forwards, on where they're going.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((This is just the mud hill, right? Not the "climb the mountain" mountain?))

Faris: ((Naw, just a mud hill :) ))

Okami yuki: ((*giggle* ))

Singha [feb 14]: When they reach the circle at the top of the rise, they find two depressions in the mud where a vague man shape and a vague lion cub shape were, in addition to two mounds that are obvous graves. just outside the circle, to the west of it, a freshly dug grave has been excavated.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Reyna seems to share Angelia's tension, but she walks along beside her, looking right up the rise as she does.

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods*)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He pauses near the top of the rise... standing with his hands clasped at the waist.* Karlos and Angelia, this would be where you take over.. the rest of us know less.

Silkie: *Sticks close Ingvar.*

Okami yuki: *She regards the place silently, frowning so slightly again for a second, before it fades and she turns to regard her Elders and the goings, near her to be Sentai Companions*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Pale eyes flick to the side, moving from the grave to Trevor. That's a lot of guns.. he thinks fast.*

Silkie: *Glances back at the Asians, doing her best to not look like a bad omen.*

Faris: He wrassles with Simba playfully, slowly shifting to a curiously gender-confused lion, it's mane seeming somewhat adolescent, its scent definately both male and female.

Okami yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((quick question out of me beeing confused... didn't Uncle wated to take Trevor to the doctors to set the big doctor up?... or killing right now? Okami knows something of this?))

Angelia Caponelli: Her feet keep moving though her gaze fixes on the grave, her pale skin taking on a slightly green hue. Ingvars words pull her back from her inner dialogue and she blinks back to him, looking down over the indents where the cub and man were formed a year ago and draws in a deep breath.

Singha [feb 14]: "In order to impress upon you the laws and punishments you agree to abide by, should you go through with your pledge to climb the mountain in the name of the Court of A Hundred Blossoms, we shall enact the punishment of the One Who Watches first," Watanabe says, tho apparently with some regret. Kelly Nguyen, Fang Shu, and The General and grin smugly.

Silkie: *Looks at Angelia.*

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami yuki: ((Okami knows that it was agreed that Trevor was to be punished for killing the members of the court))

Silkie: *Eyes the group of Asians again. They won't look so smug when she gets her tongue on them.*

Faris: ((*rotflmao*))

Okami yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: *nnods*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She stiffens at that, looking to Angelia with some alarm, then over to Trevor.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to Watanabe, regretfully herself. This is a place that has been ruined. The pain has to come before they can plant the seeds to rebuild it. Her gaze turns to Ingvar and Reyna to wait for them to respond.

Faris: ((Silkie, you should get XP just for that freakin' line *G*))

Silkie: ((A new Silkism. *c* Thanks.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: 6,4,5,4,

Okami yuki: ((*G*)) *she regards it all silently, her atitude not changing. Though her eyes Regard her companions to be. May Selene and the Mother grant them all patience and... wit not to do something silly*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks over the elders, then turns back to the rest of the sentai. He eyes touch each of them for a moment, before he looks back.* As further testament, allow me to administer his punishment, elders.

Okami yuki: *her own eyes go to Ingvars, silently, still regaly watching*

Silkie: *Blinks up at Ingvar

Singha [feb 14]: "You are not familiar with our punishment rites," Watanabe says. He motiosn to Trong. "The Illustrious Seer will perform the Rite of the Quiet Burial on the offender."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He doesn't look away. Head up as he regards the Elders. He remembers the dream. The presence he was shown. He can offer Trevor only one last honoring of his blood.*

Silkie: *Shifts a little, eyes flickering to the array of weapons, then to Trevor.*

Faris: He rises to his feet, shifting back calmly. "He will not be buried," he states.

Okami yuki: *only closes her hands, eyes on her Elders*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He resches up to scratch his temple, looking at Faris*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Burial...oh, no. She stares at Watanabe in mute horror.

Singha [feb 14]: Trevor-Mas' cheeks twitch, his eyes going wide. He looks up from his kneeling position, clearly using every ounce of his will not to devolve into a fox frenzy.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks back to Faris at his protests and gives him the same little head shake that she gave Ingvar regarding the collar. It could be worse.

Faris: "He does not deserve your honour," states the Hermaphrodite firmly. "Let him rot here in the air. Let the birds peck out his eyes and let the bugs nest in his flesh. I will not allow him to be buried."

Angelia Caponelli: "Faris..." She says softly.

Okami yuki: *looks to Karlos, her hands still closed tightly, her mind working, and catching Angelia gesture, turns her eyes back to her Elders and her Uncle*

 

Singha [feb 14]: Ignoring Faris, the guards bodily lift Trevor and bring him before Trong, who paints a symbol on his forehead.

Okami yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((*G* is all a just trust him, he knows what he is doing !!1 *whine*))



Okami yuki: *keeps her hands closed, looking at the Elders as it starts*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Hearing Angelia call him Faris, Ingvar turns to look at him. He whispers quietly in Magyarol.*

Singha [feb 14]: There is something triumphantly sadistic in TRong's eyes as he locks gazes with Trevor, drinking in the scarcely contained panic in Trevor's eyes as the guards bind white cords around Trevor's already manacled wrists and ankles.

Angelia Caponelli: She bites into her lower lip, watching Trevor with restrained sadness as the ritual starts. Her hands move behind her back and clasp tightly there.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks at Trong, lip curling slightly in base disgust.*

Singha [feb 14]: The guards lift Trevor up and carry him tremblign toward the grave, dropping him roughly into it.

Faris: He hisses in the same language.

Okami yuki: *and frowns slightly, noticing the look on the man, still quietly, hands closed, her atitude not changing, still merely regally watching, though mostly to her Elders, the faces, Uncle's Ah Bing Shen's*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She stares at Trevor, her lips shaking a little, her hands balled into tight fists, fingernails digging into her palms.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang's completely oblivious to what ever passes between Ingvar and Faris. Her attention rooted on the grave.

Faris: He whispers something to the Chaya.

Singha [feb 14]: Trong uses the same brush he painted on Trev's forehead with to write Trev's offenses on a piece of bark. "One Who Watches, Lieutenant of Zi Teng, you are guilty of killing three trueborn members of our court, of causing the death of seventeen kinfolk, and of bringing a wyrm creature to a sacred site. Your punishment is to be buried alive for one day for each death."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to Faris, and the Shadow Lord looks down at the Silver Fang, pure breeding apparent.. giving him what he can in the way of support- the knowledge that someone is watching for the slightest change to see a Siver Fang break.*

Angelia Caponelli: Ang's fingers twist behind her back to press the nails of one hand into the wrist of the other.

Singha [feb 14]: There's a small, tight yelp from the grave at that. And then Trong throws the bark in on top of Trev-Mas and the guards start quickly shoveling dirt over him

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He murmurs quietly.* steady... *the rich rumble of his voice only loud enough to reach their ears.*

Okami yuki: ((silver Fang?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I was wondering that, too. Who's the SF?))

Okami yuki: *Calm, calm, she keeps in clase, only her hands closed*

Silkie: *Tenses about to step towards the grave when Ingvar's murmur cuts her off, and she holds her ground, staring at her friend as he's buried alive.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Her jaw practically locks, it's set so hard at hearing the sentance. Still, she doesn't move. She's furious, not dumb.

Singha [feb 14]: Trevor thrashes and struggles to position himself to keep getting air as best as possible, for as logn as possible.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Ingvar's internal thoughts. Its a reference to a dream. Nothing that would make sense.*G*))

Faris: He glances down at Simba, murmuring to the cub.

Okami yuki: ((parents are phoning for the food, which means I got more or less 20 mins to half an hour left, then go souper and then I can come back))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: One hand relaxes enough to move next to her, subtlely coming to rest behind Angelia's back, on her hands, and clench in a gesture of support.

Okami yuki: ((ok.... =( cause we can't ask icly *pokes*)) *Is hard, but keeps her eyes on her Elders, reminding calm, is horrible, but she whom she is*

Singha [feb 14]: But soon Trev's silence turns into a desperate, panicked huhnnning sound, which becomes more and more muffled as the dir piles up. And then...silence.

Angelia Caponelli: She stares at the grave, her posture rigid, reminding herself over and over that this is what must be done.

Singha [feb 14]: The cub yowls curiously to Karlos.

Singha [feb 14]: ~are they burying him to eat him later?~

Faris: He grips Malcolm's hand tightly, squeezing so hard it hurts. All to stop himself from trying to kill ever last one of these fuckers and get himself murdered in the process.

Silkie: *Stares on, horrified, wide eyes welling with tears. She slides a hand into Ingvar's.*

Singha [feb 14]: 9,1,4,2,4,5,10,

Faris: ~Lion~ "No. They are punishing him for crimes he has committed." His chuffs and yowls are quiet, frustrated.

Singha [feb 14]: ((Any with awareness can roll to see if they perceive the ritual magic going into effect))

Faris: 10,1,2,8,

Silkie: 8,3,2,2,8,

Silkie: ((oops too many dice, rerolls))

Singha [feb 14]: ~lion~ "I thought you said this Ramakama was beyond our reach?"

Silkie: 5,7,4,4,

Faris: ~Lion~ "He was, at the time."

Singha [feb 14]: 5,6,3,8,10,9,6,3,7,5,

Singha [feb 14]: 5,6,3,6,9,9,1,10,6,2,

Singha [feb 14]: 6,4,5,9,10,9,10,5,2,6,

 

Singha [feb 14]: Silkie and Karlos sense the ritual magic going into effect. And then smug silence from the ritemaster Trong, who turns and heads back to his place beside the General. Ah Bing Shen claps her hands, as if trying to banish the recent unpleasantness. "So, who wants to climb a mountain?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His hand closes over Silkie's. Nevermind the other stuff. If they're going to work together, they're going to work together. Pale eyes flick to each member of the sentai.. looking for signs of weakening composure.*

Okami yuki: *Eyes drift to the Lady, and steps forward with a slight bow of her head, eyes drifting to her companions, letting it pas* ((Guys.. I need to go.. souper))

Angelia Caponelli: She swollows and stares at the grave, slowly, stiffly, drawing her hands from behind herself, pulling her sleeve down over her now bruised and cut wrist.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He turns to face Ah Bing, iron composure perfect as he nods.* We are.

Faris: He continues to cling to Malcolm's hand, nodding slightly to Ah.

Singha [feb 14]: Malc squeezes Karlos' hand in support, more than a little horrified at what he's just witnessed. And somewhat confused that no one came to TRevor's aid.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((are, do))

Okami yuki: ((I can be back in 30 mins more or less thanks for today bro being out with gf.. but I relly must go...))

Angelia Caponelli: (see you when you get back Okami)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She releases Angelia's hand and forces her balled fist to relax, ignoring the pain throbbing through it. She looks over at Ah Bing Shen, nodding with a slightly numb look.

Silkie: *Tears streak her cheeks and she looks away from the grave.*

Singha [feb 14]: ((ok see you then))

Okami yuki: ((ok... woman quiet, regal, you know *BB))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((want to break here?))

Angelia Caponelli: She takes a step towards the grave and then back towards Ingvar and Reyna. She looks up at Rey and draws a slow breath before nodding.

Silkie: *Glances up at Ingvar, then looks towards Ah Bing.*

Singha [feb 14]: ((better to keep going since other's have to leave in less than 2 hours))

Okami yuki: ((jejej the order was bad, we complained they are changing which measn I have time still))

 

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods*)


Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks over, meeting Angelia's gaze, and returns the nod, then looks back to Ah Bing Shen

 

 

[missing section]

 

Silkie: *She, perhaps more than most, knows her purpose. Her waters are crystal clear. Her eyes flicker to Ingvar, and she rolls her lips, belatedly realizing she spoke out of turn.*

Angelia Caponelli : (*begining)

Faris: Seems to draw strength from Malcolm's defiance, and straightens, slipping an arm around his waist.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks at Reyna. Perhaps for the first time agreeing with the coy- the woman.*

Singha [feb 14]: "He will survive to breathe again," Trong says. "What of those he killed? They are gone, their dharmas unfulfilled. The sentance stands. Proceed with your ritual, or leave."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She remains where she is, listening back and forth. She's not sure if she can help at this point, so she waits for an opening.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks over to the flighty pair, waiting for a decision.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Faris. Are you our heart, or your own?

Faris: "I am a heart for all who need one," he counters softly.

Silkie: *Sits a little straighter and looks at Malcolm and Faris with sad compassion. But they must move on to achieve their goals. She knows Trevor is beyond their reach.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Then come and be one. Because we have need to see things right.

Angelia Caponelli : "They are -rhya," She says slowly, carefully picking her words, "But is not this Rite to give him time to contemplate his misdoings? Not break him. It is meant to be punishment. Not torture." She looks over to Ingvar for help, guidance, something.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ~Mag~ We scrabble for what they will give us, or we move with what we have to get to the high table ourselves.

Singha [feb 14]: 'This is wrong," Malcolm repeats, looking to Karlos intently. "Wrong...It's not justice. It's revenge." He shakes his head, glancing around the circle, then toward the Court.

Silkie: *Her eyes dart to the Asians. A ploy she thinks. To break them before they begin. They are an unwelcome addition to the courts in the minds of those she intends to cleanse.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He makes a calming gesture to Angelia, speaking quietly.* This is the way we have to move. So let us move, not beg

 

Okami Yuki: 88sorry.. ligths went off.. what did I miss=)

Silkie: *...They intend to cleanse. She has a school now.*

Faris: "This is not the way we have to move," he counters, looking to Ingvar. "This is the way they would have you believe you must move. The way of corruption. The way of vengeance. I will not stoop so low as to found our Body on anyone's suffering."

Silkie: *Her eyes move from face to face.*

Angelia Caponelli : She swollows hard and quiets, looking down into the incence burner, struggling to close the flood gate she stupidly let open. She nods stiffly to Ingvar. "I am his mate. He's only kin. Put me into the ground in his place."

Okami Yuki: ((and is utterly lost))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Then let us sit here and stare at them... and wait for them to not be corrupt. Not move in the name of vengeance. Rather than doing what we must to get change ourselves. *He stares at Faris, the tone gentle, but the words just the truth as he sees it.*

Faris: "Nobody goes anywhere in anyone else's place. Not for revenge. Not for causing pain. Not for this betrayal."

Okami Yuki: *she has remind quiet, listening to them*

Singha [feb 14]: Gathering courage from Faris' words, and Angelia's, he looks to the court, head raised proudly. "I challenge whatever champion you produce for the right to ease his suffering. I don't challenge the punishment. But it's execution." He points to the grave.

Faris: "And certainly not for his pleasure." He gestures to Trong.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He cants an eyebrow, staring into the brazier.. at this point, quite at a loss. He's pulled out what he has. Cards played, he waits for the other hand.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes a deep breath, calming herself, and speaks. "Our heart rightly feels the suffering, and wishes to change it. Our eyes rightly see the suffering for what it is. And our hand seeks to pull him, who we love, to safety. And our mind sees what needs to be done, logically. We are all acting as our roles dictate." The evenness with which she speaks is tenuous, but sincere. "The Body needs to act as one. May we have a moment to confer?"

Okami Yuki: *and finally sighs, moving to place herself in the middle of them, so she may speak and be heard by the Sentai to be, her eyes looking to each* Nothing of what was has changed. You wished to move with what it was, and rise to the Montain to becoem the drop of water that will cause the WaterFall. Do you still dare to be that drop of water, or do you rather to become stangant pound and discuss to break the Circle

 

Silkie: *Shoots a hopeful look from Malcolm to Ingvar, then to the Asians. Is this allowed?*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Looks at Reyna, distantly impressed.*

Okami Yuki: ((or not...*blinks*))

 

Singha [feb 14]: "Well," The Seer says, grinning amusedly. Smugly. "You'd have to be a worthy member of the court to challenge."

Faris: ((*votes for stagnant pond*))

Angelia Caponelli : Angelia, who has never been proud of Malcolm in her entire life looks up at him now like he's her hero.

Okami Yuki: ((hold on that post so...)) *rahter about to say something as Reyna speaks*

 

Angelia Caponelli : (Beats Faris *G*)

Okami Yuki: ((*kick Faris into pond for saying so =P))

Okami Yuki: ((or leave the post...*is confused* *G*))

Faris: ((*G* It's taken how many years for Angelia to finally see what Karlos sees in Malcolm? Glad she ain't our eyes! ;) ))

Angelia Caponelli : "Malcolm. Faris. Please come sit with us." She says more evenly now.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks from one Court member to another, her face controlled, calm, awaiting an answer.

Okami Yuki: ((I still don't know who the Eyes is *G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((That'd be Angelia, Okami. *S*))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Yeah, you just have to get him fired up about something he believes him. He's Caradoc's champion. He fights for Compassion. *G*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((points at Silkie- right there.*G*))

Silkie: (Waves. Silkie is the Eyes.)

Okami Yuki: ((wasnt her the Spine?))

 

Faris: ((*G*))

Okami Yuki: ((*nods =P ))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((oh crap. I thought she was the spine.*L*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Oh, yeah, my bad. *Beats self*))

Angelia Caponelli : (*thought Silkie was our eyes. I'm spinely*)

Silkie: ((Ang is spine, Silkie is eyes))

Okami Yuki: ((*lomafo* guys.. we need to get to an agreement =P ))

Faris: His eye twitches slightly.

Angelia Caponelli : (Any how, back IC)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I'm all off today. Ignore me.))

Silkie: ((Silkie has no spine. She hides behind the big guys when the fighting starts. *L*))

Singha [feb 14]: Malcolm glares at the Seer, and then glances to Faris to see whether he's going to join them.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: We agreed to the punishment. We did not know it was going to be unfair. We must now do exactly as Reyna has said and confer- do we intend to form a sentai?

 

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks around to each.*

Okami Yuki: *Her eyes go to Ingvar, she is listening to what they say*

Angelia Caponelli : She looks over to Faris and Malcolm, "Come join us. Please. We will fix this. Together."

Silkie: "If we climb the mountain first, then we will be members of the court. THEN we can challenge the punishment." She doesn't know their laws, but she catches on quick enough. Silkie's a good listener.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *PAts Silkie's head briefly.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Ingvar, and then to Silkie. "Sounds like a plan to me."

Silkie: Her eyes flutter towards Ingvar, a hint of a smile at the praise.

Angelia Caponelli : She nods to Silkie in agreement.

Okami Yuki: *She regards them all, listening still*

Faris: ((Confucius say: ST who boots mid-scene holds up Faris' response))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks up to Faris and Malcom.* Coming or going, gentlemen- because regardless of your sincerety or compassion, actions like this will get us killed in the field.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((*LOL* sorry.))

Angelia Caponelli : (*nods and hits pause*)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Heart. Hand. Please, let's talk a moment."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*Pausey*))

Okami Yuki: (8oi....))

Faris: ((Cunfucious say: Pause the freakin' scene, dudes))


 

Singha: (GODDMANNIT! Fucking comp froze on me))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Troo reigned us all in, so's groovy.*G*))

Singha: ((Sorry about that. Hoping someone has logged this?))

Okami Yuki: ((uh....*hides in shame*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((sorry. This comp is bones only. No notepad or word program.))

Faris: ((Not me))

Angelia Caponelli: (Ums... no log here..)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I lost track of the logging a while back and stopped... *Sighs*))

Singha: Malcolm sighs and nods, then moves over to sit back in front of his incense, jaw pulsing. He pales as it dawns on him that he actually challenged an elder Hengeyokai.

Silkie: ((didn't think to. Bah.))

Okami Yuki: (I can.. try to back up the page and retrieve it...))

 

Faris: Moves with Malcolm, saying nothing, sitting with him and taking his hand once more.

: I have it if you need it

Singha: ((I usually back through my browser and log the scene after it's over))

Silkie: *Her eyes flicker between Malcolm and Faris.*

: from singha's last post anyway

Silkie: (Yay lurker!)

Singha: ((Cool, whoever's been logging the whole scene gets an XP. *G*))

Okami Yuki: ((ahhh.. I think i could....))

Okami Yuki: (8gimme a bit? to see if I still got it?))

 

Singha [feb 14]: Malcolm glares at the Seer, and then glances to Faris to see whether he's going to join them.

: ((I'm not a player...yet. But I have from your last post because I'm obsessive that way. Who do I send to?))

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Faris and Malcolm, still looking amazingly proud of the young lion.

Silkie: (May have suffered premature yay-tion.)

Angelia Caponelli: (Oh no we need the whole log up till now)

 

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Once they sit, he looks to Reyna. Likely he is too harsh for this.*

Singha: Ah Bing Shen smooths down her kimono sleeves, then picks up her gong and striker and hits the gong.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Both eyebrow shoot up as Ah Bing strikes the gong. Looks like they're going.*

: ((Then I'll just go back to the shadows *smirk* Apologies on not being more helpful))

Singha: ((Roll GN everybody, those with aware, roll awareness, anybody not in breed form, please let me know))

Okami Yuki: *and her eyes go for Ah Bing Shen*

Faris: ((GN first, awareness second, I'm in as much of Breed form as I can get *G*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: 4,2,

Silkie: (2nd roll is awareness)

Okami Yuki: ((no awar-- in breed from))

Silkie -> Singha: (doesn't really have a breed form, but if she did, it would her water baby form)

Singha: 8,3,4,2,7,

Singha: Everybody familiar with crossing the gauntlet feels a pull, and finds themselves appearing on a diamond dais surrounded by brambles, and beyond the brambles, a vast plain of silver. On the dais is a shifter sized throne made of a single cut and faceted diamond.

Singha: 8,2,3,

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He takes a moment- so ~that~ is the throne.*

Singha: Ingvar and Simba take a bit longer than the others, but eventually everyone finds themselves here. Those with awareness find that the Magic of the gong seems to be pretty powerful. Or maybe the smoke and the gong.

Okami Yuki: *she moves so slightly at the still new feeling, even if she has felt it before now, her eyes institively looking aroud, scanning the place she has seens before too,t hen back to Ah Bing Shen and the Sentai to be*

Silkie: *Still sitting on the ground, she glances around after the familiar sensation of drawing the veil flows around her.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Then flicks a glance to Simba- just to make sure he doesn't get too excited and run off.*

Singha: Malcolm stares at the brambles, and then at the throne, and frowns, looking unhappy. Ah Bing Shen puts the gong and striker away, then claps her hands delightedly. "How interesting! No Mountain."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She blinks at that oh-so-familiar yank, then looks up at the throne. She seems perfectly comfortable sitting on the solid silver plain, completely without dicomfort...over that one fact, at least.

 

Angelia Caponelli: She inhales slowly, though being a regular gauntlet hopper going across is easy, she stares a while at the throne though... ahh... Her fingers flex as if she would dearly like to touch it but then settle into her lap.

Singha: Simba seems quite happy to stay on the dais. He has no intention of burning his paws up on that silver.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *No mountain... this is not a good thing.*

Singha: ((To clarify, you are not on the plain, you are on a dais, surrounded by brambles, surrounded by the plain))

Silkie: Slowly smiles at Ah Bing Shen.

Faris: There stands a naked hermaphrodite. A Celtic charioteer, woad covers its skin in spiral patterns. An iron torc rests around its throat, formed of elegant knotwork, the tips both stylised lion's heads. On its chest blazes brightly the tattoo of a Lion Rampant constructed entirely from knotwork, it's golden colour bright as the sun. In the lions' claws is a blood-red rose, so lifelike the petals look velvet, and around both lion and rose is a bed of briars, with thirteen small white roses embedded within. Faris' stomach holds, just beneath its sternum, nestled in amidst the briars, a steel- blue pawprint from a large cat. At its waist is a belt, from which hang, by their hair, many severed heads. Men, women, children even. All have their eyes closed. Also hanging from the belt are a simple Celtic longsword, and a curled whip. Behind Faris, growing naturally from its tailbone, is a long, tawny tail, tufted with a sprig of dark yellow fur at the very tip, and crawling up its spine are yet more briars, eight more red roses nestled between the base of his tail and the nape of his neck. On its right wrist, a white leather bracer. On its left wrist, a black one. Covering its body is an odd, greenish light, as if protecting him from the umbra around him, and swirling around that is an iridescent blue mist. If one looks real hard, closely enough at the mist, it reveals butterflies, hazy, indistinct, fluttering around.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Silkie.. *his eyes swivel through the surroundings, determined to trust the sentai over even the Snake elder. Voice very quiet* no mountain?

Okami Yuki: *and then looks to Ah Bing Shen, and around them, then to the Elder, wiching to ask what it means, but.. eh... * what does it means Ah Bing Shen Sama

Okami Yuki: *and yes, here eyes dart to Faris for a long moment there too... odd, a light frown, then back to Ah Bing shen*

Singha: Malcolm appears to be a completely milk white Celtic warrior, naked, save for a torc of white gold around his neck, terminated with roses of red gold. His scars and tattoos are clear on his torso, the brilliant rose and golden lion a sharp contrast to his milk white skin and hair. The faint frangrance of sweet milk drifts around him.

Silkie: Looks at Ingvar. "Yes?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His eyes widen slightly once he notices Faris and Malcom. oooo-kay.*

Faris: He shifts onto his knees to accomodate the tail, and blinks slowly.

Singha: ((note, his tattoo is similar to Faris' but his has a series of scars running through it that smear the design slightly))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : Ah Bing seems pleased, so she's not worrid about the lack of a mountain...yet. She looks around the Body, eyebrow raised, before turning to regard the rest, a curious look in her eyes.

Okami Yuki: *eh she is just to polite and to Japanes princess to stare*

Singha: "I have no idea," Ah Bing giggles musically. "This only ever the second time I've done this ritual."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Only once everyone is accounted for does he look to Ah Bing.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Madam, what happened the first time, if I may?

Faris: Rather incongruously, sitting on a couple of heads, are a couple of hamsters. One is golden, the other silvery-grey.

Silkie: *Slides her hand into Ingvar's thinking he looks like he needs comforting.*

Okami Yuki: *one fiant blink to Ah Bing Shen, but she nods, looking around the groun again and backt o her, watiing for the next part.... as this is mostly different*

Singha: ~SS~ "Mountains are that way," Simba says, being understood by all who can speak with spirits. He lifts his muzzle and points to the south, where wayyyyyy off in the distance sharp, jagged mountains rumble and flash with volcanic thunder.

Angelia Caponelli: She takes a deep breath, "This is Zi Teng's throne." She says softly.

Silkie: "Maybe we're climbing the throne."

Singha: "Oh, the first time, I believe they rode an eight legged lion up the mountain."

Okami Yuki: *she looks to Angelia, and nods once* ((uh.. no one else passed, right? of the other Elder Assians?))

Faris: "Zi Teng's throne backs on to my own," it murmurs softly. "It is Iron, not diamond."

Okami Yuki: *and looks agian to Ah Bing Shen*

Singha: "But I was only there for the beginning and end. Firesnake apparently wishes for his children to think for themselves."

 

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She nods to Angelia, and looks around. "So, what's next on our agenda?"

Silkie: "It's Trevor's throne."

Angelia Caponelli: "Chaz's throne is Iron. One who watches claimed the title of Zi Teng and this thone."

Okami Yuki: *she nods, looking around to each face, then around, not understanding the Spirit.*

Angelia Caponelli: She looks off teh way Simba is pointing and then back to Reyna, "I don't know but I believe that is our moutain."

Singha: Malcolm sighs, staring around them at the brambles. "They're still missing," he says sadly. "The roses. They're all...gone."

Faris: "There are seven thrones," it says quietly.

Faris: Closes its eyes.

Faris: 2,10,6,

Faris: 8,8,2,

Faris -> Singha: First to wake Rose, second to wake Caradoc.

Silkie: "Really?" Giving Faris a curious look.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She looks up at the mountains, shivering a little as she remembers the last time she was here, and nods. "Well, then, shall we get to steppin'? Or do we have something else to do before-hand? We still didn't get the gifts back..."

Singha: ~Not much to eat here,~ Simba observes.

Okami Yuki: *and looks to Faris* pardon?

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks to Angelia* Which way are the mountains?

 

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks to Angelia* Which way are the mountains?

Singha -> Faris: Faris feels them both awaken here.

Angelia Caponelli: She gets up slowly and nods to the Elder, "Thank you for bringing us here." She steps closer to the diamond throne and reaches over to touch the arm very lightly, just to be closer to something that's His while she thinks.

Singha: ((roll GN Ang))

Faris -> Singha: "These brambles are hungry. Could we give them cause to bloom once more?" Mostly to Rose, but Caradoc is not excluded from the question.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks in the direction of the mountains, eyes swimming over the plain of silver.*

Singha -> Faris: ~They must be watered~

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((oops- nevermind- she already said.*S*))

Angelia Caponelli: 3,2,3,5,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : Seven thrones? She looks at Faris, curious, then around, frowning, trying to see what he does.

Okami Yuki: *she rises, bowing her head to Ah Bing Shen, then starts looking around* We should move as one...

Faris: He rises to his feet and turns, stepping from the dais and walking across the silver, taking the one or two steps to bring him to the brambles.

Okami Yuki: *and her eyes narrow little as Faris starts alone, looks to the Rest, then towards the Montains*

Faris: He speaks softly to the brambles. "Flourish," he murmurs gently to them.

Singha: ((One more time, to clarify...The DAIS is made of obsidian. At the center of the DAIS is the THRONE, which is DIAMOND. YOU ARE ALL STANDING ON THE DAIS. Surrounding the DAIS are the BRAMBLES. They encircle the DAIS and are about 30 feet thick. Beyond the swathe of BRAMBLES is the PLAIN OF SILVER.))

Faris: ((Well in amidst all the shouting, you initially stated the dais was made of diamond. Faris is stepping off the dais and into the brambles.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks over all of them, pausing again on the two Celts a moment before speaking to Silkie.* You know what to do, yes? Anything you see, tell us. If we fight, get behind someone. *He scratches at something under his shirt. As Faris and Angelia seem to both be doing something introspective, he doesn't interrupt- further intelligence could only be good. He looks to Malcom.* Malcom. Will the lion be fine on that? *He points to the silver.*

Silkie: *Gets to her feet and looks around, then climbs up towards the throne, apparently intending to plant her skinny butt in it.*

Singha: ((Beyond the PLAIN OF SILVER, to the SOUTH, are Jagged, forboding MOUNTAINS. To the NORTH is a thin white line on the horizon which constitutes the WALL arround a PALACE))

Silkie: Ingvar> "Not really, no." And she experimentally plants her butt on the throne. *PLOP*

Singha: ~water! water!~ the brambles cry back to Faris

Singha: (Roll GN Silkie)

Faris: Crouching, he offers them his right hand, that with the white bracer.

Okami Yuki: Silkie san...*low, intent, as she keeps looking around, eyes soppint on the Wall, then keeps to the Mountais* we follow your lead Urgahaldt san... I am not certain of the way, but the mountains might be, though not all is what is looks and not all is what should.. be or look like should *she is just not sure*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She watches Faris as he attends to the brambles.

Angelia Caponelli: (can we all understand the brambles?)

Silkie: 3,4,8,8,3,5,

Singha: ((Anyone with spirit speak can hear the brambles))

Angelia Caponelli: She eyes Silky with a raised brow, "That's not your chair sister."

Singha: Silke feels her ass get really really hot, as the throne heats up under her, and then WHOOSH! a flaming cobra rises up behind the throne, swaying slightly as it regards them.

 

Silkie: "I'm just testing..OW!" And she jumps off the throne.

Faris -> Singha: ((Offers the brambles all his GN. A mighty 3. Also offers up a willingness to feed them, offers his love, his hope, his desire for new life to rise from the ashes of the old))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Idly fingers the pendant, looking around. He doesn't appear off- put in the least.. simple change of tactics, and no one mentioned a time limit.*

Okami Yuki: *and her eyes snap on towards the Cobra, looking to it, before.. uh, greeting it with a formal head bow, a slight but repectfull one* Sirs and Ladies..

Angelia Caponelli: And she was about to say something to Karlos when... whoa. She takes a few steps back before dropping down to one knee. "Firesnake."

Singha: The brambles whip around Faris hand and arm, driving their thorns into him. The begi sucking out his blood. ((Take 2 HL Lethal, Faris))

Silkie: *She gives new meaning to hot chica as steam rises off her leather clad ass, which she rubs.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Spins to face the cobra instinctively, then relaxes a bit once he recognizes the significance, tilting his head slightly to hear what it has to say.*

Faris: He drops to his knees, letting the brambles take what they must.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She spins, her eyes quickly moving from Faris to Firesnake. Her alarm fades quickly, and she stands there, regarding the spirit with an intrigued expression.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods respectfully.* Spirit.

Singha -> Faris: ((2 HL per turn, until he passes out or someome stops him))

Silkie: *Gives the spirit a disgruntled look, still rubbing her scorched ass.*

Okami Yuki: *she though glances Karlos way, starting to move his way to pull it off the brambles hungry embrase...*

Singha: Malcolm looks concerned at the brambles, and looks to Faris. "Faris...?"

Okami Yuki: ((or hold, not embrace))

Singha: Firesnakes looks hungry, amused, and angry, if at all possible.

Faris: 7,5,5,2,5,6,4,3,

Faris: He struggles to draw breath, eyes drifting closed as the brambles suck the life out of him. But he doesn't pull away, determined to water them.

Singha: ~I'm disappointed.~ Firesnakes says. ~Even now you act as individuals, not sentai mates. Each with his own plan. His own concerns.~

Silkie: *So here throne theory was wrong. She scurries a few more paces back, always wary of anything that looks too hungry around her.*

Okami Yuki: *and sighs, moving to get a hold of FAris and drag him out of being bled out reach* ((well pull him off the bambled))

Singha: Firesnakes tail whips up and grabs Faris, tearing it away from the brambles, lifting him up as an example to the others.

Okami Yuki: ((oi! or.. Firesnakes betas her up to it))

Faris: "We had no time," he grates hoarsely. "And you have none either."

Singha: ~Each wishing to be a martyr, rather than a warrior~ he sets Faris down in Ingvar's arms. ~The mind must rule the heart, but to do so, the heart must speak it's mind.~

Angelia Caponelli: She stays down on one knee. This is a totem talking to them after all. She frowns at Faris as he gets whipped up by the serpant.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She purses her lips, looking at Firesnake. "No argument here. We're still...coalescing, you could say. The nervous system is still in the process of making it's connections."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He listens, jaw tightening slightly. More out of frustration than anything.*

Okami Yuki: *though as Firesnake does just as she was, she returs to place, merely listening, bowing her head, hearing as true the words of the spirit*

 

Silkie: "Sorry. It's my first school. I thought the throne might be a portal. I should have said as much." Looking sheepish.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Supports Faris readily, holding the man up.*

Faris: "Bullshit." He grunts, dripping blood all over Ingvar. "This is bullshit."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Everyone, shut up and listen. Speak after.

Singha: Firesnake whips his tail around angrily, hood flaring as he rises higher.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ssshhh.. *he says it quietly- assuming Faris is a little out of it.*

Okami Yuki: *frowning slightly, listening, quiet, her eyes moving to her hand as she just listens to them and the Spirit*

Silkie: *Ducks behind Angelia.*

Faris: He reaches for his sword as Firesnake starts getting pissy, glaring up at the spirit.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Wraps his arms around Faris to hold him still.*

Angelia Caponelli: She doens't say anything, just reaches back to touch Silkie's hand, waiting for everyone to fall into order.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Not preventing him from reaching for the sword, but clapping one hand over his to keep it in its sheath.*

Okami Yuki: *she frowns as Faris starts doing so, and moves to hold his hand from his blade, not harshly, just firmly* Please listen, rememeber a Circle, without bumps.. not curves, no wholes

Okami Yuki: ((holes... hum.. yes holes))

Singha: ~You. Shadowcaster.~ Firesnake turns his gaze on her, his forked tonge flicking out, and she feels the heat of the flames there. ~How dare you attempt to climb this mountain when even Cockroach has found you lacking.~

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She falls silent, still standing there. There is respect there, but curisity, too. And maybe a little too much confidence for her own good, as she listens.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Just tries to keep Faris under control, and provide him a little dignity by keeping him on his feet as he listens.*

Silkie: *Ooops. She hid behind the wrong person.*

Faris: "I will not be reduced to nothing to suit his ego," he snarls, pretty weakly, fighting feebly against the hold Ingvar has on him.

Okami Yuki: ((*loves the Silkie and laughs out*))

Singha: ~And you.~ He licks at Ingvar. ~Who thinks to lead with no love for those who follow him.~

Angelia Caponelli: She swollows and bows her head, "I need a sentai to complete the task Cockroach has set for me Firesnake." She explains.

Okami Yuki: *letting out a sigh as he still does not listen, looking to Ingvar a moment, then just again slightly low and in the Spirit way, she should have dedicated more time to speask with each, should have said so*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Tightens, then whispers ~extremely~ quietly into Faris' ear, eyes on the snake* Then reduce yourself for now. sssh.

Singha: ~and you~ He licks at Reyna. ~Who speaks nothing, when she knows the truth, content to watch. And laugh.~

Singha: ~A Heart too full of pride to allow itself to be led for the good of those it loves~ he licks at Faris.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to Firesnake. At least shutting up himself. He doesn't speak further, figuring spirits appear to talk, not to listen.*

Silkie: *Glances at Reyna, and rolls her lips, not looking forward to her turn, figuring everyone is on Firesnake's shit list.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She blinks at that, taken aback by the accusation. She looks at the spirit, then nods almost imperceptibly, as if understanding and accepting the rebuke.

Singha: He coils himself up, and uncoils again, tongue flicking at Okami, and then Malcolm. ~At least the hands grasp.~

 

Faris: "Yes, we're all flawed." His voice is suddenly quiet. "But we were good enough for you once. Or were you simply desperate enough to take whatever you could get? I honoured you. I love you. I would die for you, but more importantly, I would live for you. And now you scorn us all, when we have not yet had the time to get to know one-another."

Silkie: *Unfortunately, she can think of lots of personal failings... beginning with, not being very brave.*

Faris: "You are Chaya of Transformation, yet you will not allow us to transform?" He slumps in Ingvar's arms, dangerously close to passing out.

Singha: ~and the Eyes~ Silkie feels the heat as the tongue flashes near her. ~The eyes seek.~

Okami Yuki: *She blinks, rising her eyes to the Spirit, bowing her head, acepting his words, thanking them in silence*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Just keeps the man on his feet. He looks no less confident, and appears not to weaken in the least supporting Faris.*

Silkie: *Blinks, uncertain if that was a reprimand or not.*

Singha: ~You are a cloudy Heart if you think my anger is scorn.~

Angelia Caponelli: She bites off any more arguement. They're flawed. Karlos is right. And human. She even smiles a bit remembering something.

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Faris, thinking on something, but here is not her place to try to guide him, when the Spirit they chose to lead the Sentai is the one talking*

Faris: "You use me as an example. Public humiliation is an expression of scorn."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : "It's criticism." She nods. "There is a difference."

Singha: ~and it is you who must transform. I am the flames to burn away your past and renew your future~

Faris: ((Faris already said it was they who were to transform, not FS. Did you read that right?))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *It isn't? Confusion ripples across his features for a moment before the solidify into calm resolve.. listening and filing away what FS says is each of their failings, and keeping in mind what to bolster in those he finds approval with. A mechanical process.*

Angelia Caponelli: "This is not public Faris. We are parts of you. We are meant to be one." She murmers.

Silkie: *Looks uncomfortable... fire and water. Then she recalls the story of creation, how it was fire that drew her folk to Unsea, and she stares at the flaming cobra, almost mesmerised.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : "He just told us how to transform..." She looks at Faris and Ingvar, then Angelia, and back to Firesnake. She'd have looked at herself, but that would probably just look lewd.

Singha: ((Yeah, I read it but my reply was unclear. FS was making the distinction between Karlos saying FS wasn't ~allowing~ them to transform vs. FS saying it is ~their task~ to transform themselves. ))

Faris: "I am sick to the back teeth of being criticised for doing what I do, making the choices that I make. If I am not worthy of you, Firesnake, then send me away now. I will love you no less, I will respect you no less. But I am exhausted of being beaten down for daring to stand up."

Singha: FS looks to the others. ~your heart is sick. how do you mend it?~

Silkie: *The ever changing dance.. of the flame.* "I will look into Heart and see his sorrows... if Mind bids this a good idea?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He responds, again, almost by rote that seems a part of him.* By each bearing and addressing a piece of the sickness. Restoring confidence and bolstering resolve.

Faris: He grits his teeth, gazing helplessly to Malcolm, then dropping his head wearily.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang rises up slowly and looks to Karlos, "Listen Karlos, please.... he is doing what you do to me so often."

Singha: Malcolm wraps his arms around Faris, and licks his head, whispering into his ear.

Okami Yuki: *she blinks looking to Firesnake then to Faris and the others* i believe he is full of to much sorrow and anger he has bottled up ...*looking to Silkie* or tears, we should let him cry off his sorrow and dace away his anger? *she is not entirely sure, but moves then to Faris* and suport him through it

Faris: "Karlos is dead," he mutters.

Singha: 4,3,8,5,5,9,

Singha -> Faris: ((2 HL back))


Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He lifts up Karlos fully, almost cradling, though this does not seem necessarily a part of his nature it seems meant.*

Angelia Caponelli: "Faris then." She corrects. "And you are doing just what I always do."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *And lets everybody take a "chunk" as it were.*

Silkie: *Slinks close and slips her hand into Faris'. The one not on the sword hilt.*

Singha -> Faris: "Faris, ask Angelia to water the plants. She knows the ritual."

Okami Yuki: *smiles to ingvar* we are a Circle, listen to all, and Think the right way...?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She looks from Firesnake to Faris, and sighs a little, smiling to him. "No one here is beating you down. Everyone here supports you. We are your family, and you're ours. Firesnake is just pointing out our weaknesses, so we can work on them and strenghten them. This is how he's enabling us to transform, and all of us will help you do so." She's being sincere, speaking her mind, giving him the truth as she sees it. Exactly what she's been holding back ever since they got together yesterday.

Faris -> Singha: ~TP~ "Fuck this. I'm lost, Anwyl. I'm lost. I don't belong here."

Faris: "Firesnake's being a bitch," he counters irritably.

Silkie: "So are you." Giving his hand a squeeze. Yeah, out of the mouths of babes.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : "Firesnake's being a spirit," she says with a slight smirk at his words. "He's doing what he needs to do, without worrying about our feelings. As you said, there's no time for that."

Singha: Malcolm kisses Faris, and licks the bramble wounds, cock rising as he tastes the blood.

Singha: 5,1,3,2,6,8,

Singha -> Faris: ((One more HL))

Faris -> Singha: ~TP~ "I want to go home." Malcolm can feel the resignation, the sheer lack of will behind his thoughts at present. How utterly bone-weary he is.

Angelia Caponelli: She nods in agreement with Reyna. Who is a good voice. And moves around to streach up and around Malcolm and Ingvar and plant a kiss on Karlos' cheek.

Singha: ~I am a Totem of War. Not of Martyrdom. Senseless destruction does not please me, nor does losing a child to the thirst of those who can be properly fed if you all worked together.~

Faris -> Singha: And, of course, there's that lurking icky nastiness that rears its head whenever something authoritarian and controlling tries to lort itself over him. That niggling fear of ever becoming subservient to anything remotely like Kras ever again.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Just continues to hold the man up, letting those who know him a bit better go first.*

Faris -> Singha: ((Lord, even))

Singha -> Faris: *nods* yeah, I noticed that when FS first flared up. *G*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances at the brambles to see if there is any change from Karlos' feeding them.*

Faris -> Singha: ((Yeah, but I'm saying this for Malc's benefit, since he's TPing to him *G*))

Silkie: "Come on Faris. Firesnake is right. You should have said we should all feed the brambles. Were you going to let them eat you up? And then what? We would have lost you. We're a school now. A sentai. We have to try harder to think as one."

Faris: He straightens a little, muscles relaxing, too mentally resigned to bother trying to fight them off any more.

Faris: "Angelia should feed them," he says absently.

Okami Yuki: *She looks again to Firesnake, then at the others as they move close to Faris, then looks to Ingvar, then to Firesnake*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She nods to Silkie. "If I recall hearing right, these were the mistakes of the old Body...no communication." She speaks of the old Body not with disdain, but with frankness. "We can't play this as new body, old mistakes. It won't work if we do. We have to communicate, care, support, and act as one."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: We should all feed them. Everyone pick a patch and give up an arm. *He points at the brambles with his chin, slowly lowering Faris to the ground.* You rest and wait here.

Angelia Caponelli: "We can all feed them together Karlos." She says softly. "They asked for water. Not blood."

 

Singha: Malcolm looks down at Karlos, smiling at him and smoothing his brow. He kisses him again, and then looks to FS. ~He is weary. He has sacrificed much for you, and he is weary. But you need us as much as we need you. More, maybe. Why do you not reward those who have struggled so hard and given up so much in your name?~

Faris: "No, you bloody lunatic. Angelia should feed them." He huffs. "She knows the ritual."

Okami Yuki: *shakes her head, watching Faris* he is botling up even more...

Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head at Ingvar... "Try tears first. Please."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Angelia, get started with this ritual. We need to get up this mountain. Put us where you need us, yes? *He speaks quietly so Malcom can talk to the spirit.*

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ((why doesn't she just do rite of the opened sky?)

Silkie: *Looks relieved, not really wanting to have vampiric plants poking holes in her.*

Faris: ((Malcolm, that needed "cocksucker" on the end.))

Okami Yuki: *sighs, shaking her head* looking to Firesnake* I must say this. *looking to the Sentai MemberS* Silkie is right in a way, we do not communicate, but you all set away your feelings, and your thoughts, fearful the rest will listen to them. We are a Circle... maybe insted of bind the beads we should bind ourself onto a Circle, untill we learn how to be one.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang's head bolts up. See this is why she isn't mind. She grins a bit at Faris, "Shush... I can do the Ritual... but if you'd just said that in the first place..." She trails off.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Lays Faris down gently, settling his head last- even moving away from Malcom if he needs to in order to do so.*

Faris: "I didn't bloody know until he told me five bloody seconds ago," he grouses, nodding slightly to Malcolm.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Oh- apparently she doesn't need us for the ritual. Leaves Faris with Malcom then.*

Faris: "I don't know," he grunts. "First they encourage me to be proud of who I am. Then they tell me off for it. Goddamn Chaya need to make their bloody minds up..."

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over Karlos with a faint smile, "Just relax. We'll bring them water..."

 

Silkie: *Slinks towards Faris for a look at him.* "Do you need healing?"

Singha: FS coils and uncoils, tongue flicking out over Malcolm, singeing some of his hair. The sweet milk scent gets stronger as Malc sweats a bit, obviously cowed but wanting to protect Karlos

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks toward Angelia.* Get. Started.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She smiles a little at Faris. "Yeah, good luck with getting them to do that, hon..." Hey, the floodgates are open. She's speaking her mind now, and the mental filter's stuck in the 'off' position.

Faris: He grabs Malcolm's arm, dragging himself up on to one knee, fire rising in his eyes as Firesnake seems to be preparing to attack. He watches the Chaya, alert, intent, in case it dares strike.

Okami Yuki: *Intakes a sharp breath to hold a slightly fustrated hiss, release the air and settles to listen and watch, hoping this will at least help Faris, but it will not unbottle his feelings...her hands close tightly on themselves*

Faris: "No, thank you Silkie," he murmurs belatedly.

Angelia Caponelli: She takes a deep breath and cloeses her eyes, letting her mind clear up to get into the mind set she needs to. Not letting them rush her.

Silkie: *Not seeing Firesnake's curiosity as a threat she pets Faris' hair.* "What's wrong?"

Okami Yuki: *And she frowns, looking to Karlos, then to Ingvar and Firesnake, first Ingvar* you are the Lantern *then to the Spirit* you our Father... the Heart is ill you said... I see anger in it... I am one of the Fist, a Hand, if you see it right I think I can take his anger on me as his anger is directed to you in a way *to Firesnake*

Okami Yuki -> Singha: Faris needs to beat something up.. I an nearly sure

Okami Yuki -> Singha: that was ooc

Singha: Malcolm stands there, staring down FS, protectively. He reaches a hand down to Faris, and one to Okami.

Faris: "I'm not bloody ill." He huffs. "And yes, a heart can grow angry. It's a thing of passion, not just of love."

Okami Yuki: *THe hand reaching takes her by surprice as the gesture, so... unfamiliar to her, she takes her eyes to Malcom's, before taking the hand, breaking that space barrier so Assian*

Angelia Caponelli: She cracks opened her eyes, "Body. Please... could we be still. Spine needs to concentrate."

 

Angelia Caponelli: She cracks opened her eyes, "Body. Please... could we be still. Spine needs to concentrate."

Okami Yuki: *she though looks to Faris* Anger can blind if not released

Silkie: "But it can't stay angry, Faris. It has to know when to forgive too... or even to just let go."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : "Too much anger makes a heart sick." She then hears Angelia and nods, fallng silent.

Faris: "Stop lecturing me, all of you!" He snaps suddenly, gripping Malcolm's hand. "What, you all want to kick the dog while it's down? What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

Singha: FS's tongue flicks over Okami as she speaks, then flicks back over Malcolm. Then he turns his attention to Reyna. "What say you, Voice?"

Faris -> Singha: Malc can certainly tell he's more afraid than angry *G*

Silkie: Flinches back at Faris' outburst, seriously considering giving him a swift kick, but Ang asked for silence.

Angelia Caponelli: Sighs, stops and folds her arms looking at them, refusing to go on until they're all concentrating on the same task.

Okami Yuki: *she jut looks to Faris, then to Firesnake and the Voice, before she comments on something else*

Singha -> Faris: He squeezes his hand comfortingly, and if the link is still going, Malc is quite happily willing to die to protect Karlos. Tho pretty scared himself, he's happy doing this...protecting what he loves.

Faris -> Singha: He tried to rush into things because they were wasting time while Trevor's suffering, and now his rush has caused even more suffering, because it's slowing them down even further. He's afraid he's just fucked up royally, he's afraid of Firesnake, and he genuinely is sick of being beaten down for trying to do the right thing. He just wants to go back to running the Concerto with Malcolm, something he knows how to do.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : Firesnake has told her to speak, so speak she does, despite Angelia's request. She moves to Faris, dropping to a crouch in front of him, speaking quietly, so as not to disrupt the Spine's ritual. "We're not lecturing, Faris." She smiles at him with warmth and compassion. "We're advising you. Just like you've done to all of us. We're trying to help you. But you have to accept our help. The heart needs to accept the words it hears, otherwise, it will remain cold. Like you've been."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : "That's not an accusation. It's an observation, and we don't look down at you for it. It saddens us, and we want you to be warm again."

Singha: 7,6,6,8,7,

Faris: He looks like Reyna's just gutted him alive. That she could denounce him as cold so easily. He collapses to his knees.

Okami Yuki: *Not what she ment, but it might reach him, she awaits silent now*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He gets out of Reyna's way, letting the coyote work.*

Singha: He frowns at Reyna, still holding Faris' hand, and Okami's, still staring down FS.

Silkie: *Doesn't seem to know what to do with herself, she paces the dias.*

Faris -> Singha: There's certainly ice forming now to protect him from being called cold when his heart is wide open and defenceless. He's confused, bewildered, and hurt as much as if he'd just been stabbed in the heart.

Singha -> Faris: He feels Malc's Rose and Caradoc's compassion flooding him, bringing him some of that absolute contentment that Malc feels in being around him, and that stable happy, 'nothing can fuck with me so long as I have Karlos' sentiment that drives so much of what Malcolm does

Singha: "You haven't answered my question," Malcolm says accusingly to FS.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She doesn't stop when Faris reacts as it does, knowing that this is needed. He needs to accept this. "I'm not saying you're dead...you did that already, earlier. You say you're not ill, but you told Firesnake you were sick. I'm saying, specifically, that you're letting your heart close to everything around you. You're not dead as a heart...but you're getting there." She reaches out, putting a hand on his arm, a sign of love. "Let us help you stop that journey."

Faris: "It's not true," he whispers weakly. "You've no idea..." He looks up at Malcolm desperately, trying to cling to something that knows him better than all these children who he trusted, so eager to stab him the first chance they get.

Faris: 4,4,6,3,5,7,2,4,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : "Then tell us. We've seen the signs, but we don't know the reason. I don't, at least. If we don't have a clue, give us one."

Okami Yuki: *Lets out a small fustrated hiss, so faint, hand tighted on the one Malc's has with her, forsing to be quiet, waiting for the Voice to be able to speak with him as it seems how it is, still thinking he needs to just vent out*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks down to Faris.* I would like to know, certainly. Let us take advantage of this situation, now, to know each other a bit better. *His voice is calm, but interest crosses his dour face.*

Singha: FS coils and uncoils at Malcolm's accusation, and sends that tongue of flame towards him, intimidatingly

 

Angelia Caponelli: Ang remains silent, watching, waiting, listening.

Okami Yuki: *sighs at Malcom, shaking her head softly*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Malcom, please stop poking the snake. He bites, I am certain. *He leans over a bit to whisper to the young man.*

Faris: "Every blade of grass, I love. Every child that is born, I love. Every mother, every ant, every bird, every flea, every rapist, every murderer, everything that lives and breathes, everything that loves and dies, everything in this world and any other, I love. How can you dare tell me my heart is cold. How can you dare say I am dead, when I am willing to suffer the thorns to bear the Rose? How can you even think to say that I'm ill when you think you are the only one who knows what pain love brings? How can you possibly tell me, Reyna, that I'm letting my heart close, when I'm willing to let you do this to me?"

Singha: ((LOL at Ing)) Malcolm swallows hard. He trembles slightly, and once again that sweet milk smell rises off him as he sweats

Silkie: *Scowls at Firesnake.* "That isn't helping." She walks over, and deliberately takes up Okami's free hand. "Angelia, perhaps that can wait?" Holds a hand out to Ingvar, intending they should make a circle, literally, as Okami had suggested.

Okami Yuki: *blinks as Silkie does so, surpriced but then smiles, nodding to her*

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Silkie, "I am waiting until we can move together as one."

Silkie: *Leans over to sniff at Malcolm, tongue flicking out to tastes his sweat.*

Okami Yuki: Caponelli san... *lookign to Angelia* please come

Singha: ((Roll GN, silkie))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Takes Silkie's hand and holds out the free one for someone to grab. Yes, anything- let's get the party started.*

Silkie: 7,5,8,2,7,7,

Singha: Simba rises from taking a nap and moves over to sniff all their hands as they stand in the circle

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He reaches out to grab Angelia's hand and draw her closer to the rest.* Apologies, it seems I was a bit preemptive before.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She shakes her head, not seeming surprised by the accusation, or hurt by it. "I never said you didn't love, or that only I know the pain of it. I would never think to say I love more then you...hell, I'm just learning what it means again. But there is such a thing as overload. You feel so much that when you're exposed to pain, it touches you so deeply, you start to shut down. I've seen it, over the past weeks. I'm fairly sure all of us have. I know you love, better and stronger then I ever will. But all that love is causing you so much pain, it's shutting you down completely."

Singha -> Silkie: It tastes like breast milk, and she feels flooded with this wonderful sense of how deeply Sea loves her, feeling like her mother is cradling her in her arms, suckling her at her breast

Angelia Caponelli: (*sorry having to get food together for the kiddo here before she kills me)

Angelia Caponelli: She moves over and takes Okami's hand, moving into the circle.

Okami Yuki: ((shifts that to put Angelia taking the ingvs or the Silkies *and hugs*)) *nods to Angelia, and looks to Reyna* will you please close the Circle?

Faris: "No, it fucking well is NOT!" He rises to his feet once more, glaring at her. "What, you mistake this for shutting down?" He blanks, suddenly that business-like Karlos-like person they all know. "You think because I don't wear my heart on my sleeve while I'm at work, it isn't there at all?"

Angelia Caponelli: (nods. She'll settle in between Silkie and Ingvar)

Silkie: *Lets out a soft sigh and almost licks him again, then looks from Malcolm to Farris and back, eyes alighting. She sticks Okami's hand in Ingvars, and steps towards Malcolm.*

Okami Yuki: ((or that =P Malcom is holding Okami and Karlos silkie)) *she holds Silkie a moment then looks to Karlos* .. sir *well she dones't know THIS name* please look to me

Silkie: *whispers in Malcolms ear*

Silkie -> Singha: "I think Faris needs to lick you."

Angelia Caponelli: "Karlos... we can't know what is going on inside you until you share."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She stands up, taking Karlos's hand in hers, and someone else's in her other hand to complete the circle. "How am I to know, if you don't tell me? I only know what I see"

Singha: He blinks at Silkie, and then looks to Faris, then whispers to him.

Singha -> Faris: "Silkie says she thinks you should lick me."

 

Silkie: *Steps back into the circle between Malcolm and Okami, taking each by the hand.*

Faris: "Can you not trust me all of a sudden? Is there some reason you feel you need to understand the inner workings of my mind before you can accept me for who and what I am?"

Okami Yuki: *frowns slightly and repeats, using the other name as she doens't has other* Karlos san..

Faris: He leans in and licks Malcolm's cheek, possibly to prevent himself from gutting them all and wearing their skins.

Singha: Simba sniffs around the throne, then chews on the arm of it.

Angelia Caponelli: "It is not a matter of trust Karlos. If we didn't trust you you wouldn't be here."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : "It's not about trust. It's about love. We love you, and when we see things that we don't understand, things you do and ways you react, we worry, because we know what it means to us. We trust you, and we accept you. But we worry about you, too."

Singha -> Faris: He's flooded with that mainline, Mother's love, suckling at the breast, it's all gonna be okay that the milk on Malc's skin gives off.

Angelia Caponelli: (Half hour warning till honey's home and I gotta go)

Faris: She's here. He knows she's here. He slumps, leaning against Malcolm, nuzzling his shoulder.

Singha: "Mijo," A voice at Faris' belt says. A woman's voice. "Your friends are all very nice people, but you must simply speak your heart. If you do not wish to struggle so, for a Firesnake that has not give you back one gift, then you must be honest."

Okami Yuki: *closes her eys a moment and repeats* Karlos san *more loud, moving slightly so the... it... will look her way*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Reyna, if I may? *He asks to interrupt.*

Singha: Those who look for the source of the voice see one of the heads at his belt has it's eyes open.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *jumps back, lip twisted in disgust.*

 

Faris: "I do not seek gifts, Mama," he says quietly. "I do not seek thanks, or gratitude, or reward. I just want to help those I can."

Okami Yuki: ((speaking of something freaking out)) *yes, she looks, and is unable not to stare, eyes widening slightly before she shakes it and looks to the... person wearing the creepy belt, she merely says* look to both your hands Karlos san... you are not alone, your burden is not yours, is ours.

Silkie: ((Turns on the stereo to Talking Heads. *G*))

Okami Yuki: ((shakes her head))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Smoothes an eyebrow, taking his place in the circle again.*

Singha: "Then what do you seek? Why are you so angry, mijo?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She nods to Ingvar, falling silent. She purses her lips, looking down now that she's done, shoulders slumping. She knows she failed...she just doesn't know why.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Yeah- he looks polite, or stunned, enough to let Faris' mother's head talk as much as it pleases, perhaps losing interest in whatever it was he was going to say.*

Okami Yuki: *and wth that last words she falls sielnt... letting... the head... speak...*

Angelia Caponelli: She stares at the head, well that's just neat and creepy all rolled up in one. Ang keeps her yap shut.

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ((Ang might notice that there are other head there... Billy's and Mas's also.))

Silkie: *Looks at the heads, then her eyes flicker back hungrily to Malcolm.*

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ((roll int+occ))

Faris: "Because I have fought for love, over and over again. I have shed all that I am and become something new, over and over again. I am who I am now because I chose this, not because it happened to me. And now my pride in who I have become, my faith in myself for the things I have overcome within myself, is painted as some monster, some thing to be torn out and killed. I have every right to be proud of who I am, mama. Because I got here. Because I made it."

Angelia Caponelli -> Singha: 6,8,5,8,5,10,

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ((Ang's pretty sure that if you took Billy's head, and put it with Mas' head, and tied them to Simba and put them all on the throne...they might get Zi Teng. Or Chaz. Or...something.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *At this, Ingvar's head tilts as though struck.* Faris. We are much alike I think. Honestly- I do not trust you. But I am willing to stand here and try. Do the same for me, yes?

Singha: "Nobody's ripping out your pride, mijo." Mama chides. "The Snake does not wish the brambles to bleed you dry, when there is a better way to water the plants."

Angelia Caponelli: Ang watches Karlos, and the cool/creepy talking head and looks over to Simba, then Faris' belt, then Simba, then the throne. "Faris?" She asks quietly.

Singha -> Angelia Caponelli: ((since the head is considered the seat of the soul in the Celtic cultures))

Faris: "The snake accused me of being prideful," he mutters. "And my friends all leaped on that and tore me apart, rather than stood up for me. Only Anwyl stood by me."

Silkie: *Shifts her weight to her other leg. She's not very good at standing still.*

Faris: He looks slowly toward Angelia, not wanting to look away from Mama.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She listens quietly, looking at the ground, her face a mask of focus.

Singha: Meanwhile, Ah Bing Shen has been sitting off to the side, quietly observing.

Okami Yuki: *frowns slightly, tilting her head, listening for now, calming herslef, waiting now*

Angelia Caponelli: She looks down at 'Mama's' skull with a faintly apologetic look. "Faris, we need your help. You have the keys. Then we can water the brambles together."

Singha: "Because they love you, mijo. They fear to lose you because your love drives you so deeply. You act without thought, only feeling. Sometimes this is good. Sometimes it is bad"

Faris: "Keys?"

Singha: "Not everyone understands such passion. Anwyl is a brave young man to walk such a path. But not all ears are open to the song he dances to."

 

Silkie: ((I need to leave for about 20 minutes. Be back ASAP.))

Singha: The eyes on the head move to regard Angelia, then blink in acknowledgement, and close.

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Faris and lets go of Ingvar's hand to point to the other heads on Karlos' belt, "Mas and Billy. The halves." Her head tilts to Simba, "And our gifts. If we bring them all together... "

Faris: "I tried to act with thought, Mama," he grumbles. "But it never worked out, so I gave up on it."

Faris: ((Sorry, router blipped))

Okami Yuki: *she is staring to go confused by now, looking from Angelia to Karlos, then to Firesnake*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Just listens as Angelia does the Theurge thing.*

Singha: The others see Angelia point out a head on Faris' belt that does indeed look like Mas. And another that is of a young black haired caucasian.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She blinks, as she considers what she hears, and understanding comes to her eyes. THAT'S what she missed. A tinge of horror creeps into her gaze as she realizes how far off she was, and what she almost did.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Now that it isn't speaking, it isn't rude to stare... he looks all these heads over with distant interest... wonders if they all speak here.*

Faris: He looks down at his heads. There are far too many, considering there is in theory only room for five or six around one man's waist. He seems to have... a whole hell of a lot more. Like Hundu gods who manage to cram ten heads where one fit. He hesitates, reluctant to give up any of them.

Singha: "We don't have the sword..." Malcolm says. He's not really sure if they need it but...he's pretty shure they do. Don't they?

Okami Yuki: the sword? *lookign to Malc* why do we need it?

Faris: "They were killed with the sword," he murmurs quietly. "Maybe that is enough."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ....and the collar.*he shuts his eyes.. so much more he should have done.*

Angelia Caponelli: She looks to Reyna, then back to Malcolm, "We don't need the sword." She steps closer to Karlos but not too close. "Do you mind?" She asks Karlos, indicating the heads.

Okami Yuki: *confused now*

Faris: He slowly frees his hands and begins to untie Mas' head, handling it lovingly, gently. There's a twinge of guilt in his eyes as he frees it, lifting it, kissing the forehead softly.

Angelia Caponelli: "We don't need the collar either. We have the throne."

Singha: "So...what do we do?" Malc looks to Ang. Then back to the throne where Simba is chewing the arm, acting very much like he's quite hungry.

Faris: "Feed them to Simba," he says quietly, offering Angelia Mas' head before gently beginning to unfasten Billy's.

Okami Yuki: *looking from one to the other*

Singha: The eyes of the head open and regard Karlos. Surprised.

Angelia Caponelli: "No... well that might work but... call Simba over here for me please Faris?"

Faris: "Well, ask Mas if he minds, first..." He smiles apologetically to the head.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She looks up suddenly, blinking the haunted look away.

Okami Yuki: *ok... that is freaking too, she still looks from face to face, including heads*

Singha: "Hi," the head smiles. "People call me Mas."

Angelia Caponelli: She reaches for the head gently, "Mas... we'd like to make you whole."

Faris: ((*rotflmao*))


Angelia Caponelli: For such a prissy seeming girl Ang doesn't seem the least bit squemish about holding a talking head.

Faris: (("That... is a man's... head..."))

Singha: "Hi!" The eyes move to Silkie. He smiles broadly. Very happy to see her.

Okami Yuki: *holds back a shiver, princess don't shiver, but that is just so like he... when she met him... looks back to Firesnake and back to each one*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks almost touched for a second as the Mas head speaks, eyes moving across a dream in his head. Then turns, whistling for Simba and patting his thighs.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : She watches the situation, her head tilting inquisitively to the right a little.

Faris: He unfasten's Billy's head just as gently, soothing the hair away from the forehead and lifting to kiss it just as tenderly as he did Mas'.

Singha: He looks over to Angelia. "Did you open the door?"

Angelia Caponelli: "OPen the door?" She asks.

Singha: Billy's wideset blue eyes open and these are....far, far too sad, weary, and mournful for one who looks to be about 15.

Singha: "To Metoac. Did you open it?"

Singha: "Faris," the cracked voice speaks with recognition. It's that kind of hoarse one gets when one has screamed in pain for oh...about a year.

Faris: He holds Billy protectively, touching Malc's shoulder lightly then offering the milked fingertips to Billy's lips, whispering softly to him. "It doesn't have to happen again."

Angelia Caponelli: "Yes. We've opened the door but she's still chained there."

Okami Yuki: *frowns, watching still....*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *hmm.. apparently baby lions are nothing like baby dogs.. he lets Faris handle bringing the creature over.* Angelia. Whatever you are about to do, do you need help?

Silkie: "Hi Mas!" (back)

Faris: ((Crouch down. That might make him want to maul you *G*))

Singha: Billy's swallows the milk and begins to weep. A torrent of tears pouring out, all the pain and longing and loss of 3 lifetimes unleashed in a river of greif and relief.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to Ingvar. "Yes I'm going to need a way to tie them both around Simba's neck."

Okami Yuki: *yes, deffinitively.... she looks off, speaking soflty* what is all this?

Silkie: Perks up. "We're freeing Metoac?!"

Faris: He cradles Billy protectively, stroking his hair, kissing his forehead again, humming a soothing lulabye to him.

Singha: ((sorry ingvar missed that post. And yeah, Simba's far more interested in hunting and chewing things then he is in whistling. *G*))

Faris: ((It's Bring A Head Day, Okami. Didn't you get the flyer? *G*))

Okami Yuki: ((*lol* no.... *pokes*))

Angelia Caponelli: (Guys I'm sorry but I gotta go. Ang will see the heads around simba's neck and him on the throne and do the rite if it's still needed)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : ((Dammit...I left my head at home!))

Faris: ((Well I think here's a good place to break, since I too must go *G*))

Singha: ((do you guys wanna pause, summarize or continue?))


Okami Yuki: ((when do we go on?)) =P

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((no prob.*S* Ingvar also didn't think about what happens when 400 pounds of lion wants to come play "gimme yer pants"))

Singha: ((yeah this ran a bit later than expected. Sorry about the comp freezing up))

Silkie: ((votes to pause))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno : ((Pause is definately good.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((yeah why don't we either conclude this at a later date or get a summary. Since most probably have to take off?))

Okami Yuki: ((I can do pause *nodnod* just let me know when to go on)) =P

Singha: ((okies so we pause here. thanks for playing all.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((or pause, pause works too.*G*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((thanks for the scene.*G*))

Faris: ((Pause good *G*. Let me know when you want to continue. ))

Okami Yuki: ((Thanks Singha!!))

Silkie: (will you post a log before we play again, so I can see what I missed?)

Singha: ((certaqinly))

Okami Yuki: ((^snugs arond and as we are pausing leves for half an hour to go do something* thanks! and let me know when to go on!! =) ))

Singha: now everybody leave so I can log it and go to my email to get the other half

Silkie: (Thanks everyone! See you all later. Special thanks the Big Mojo Singha.)

 

Karlos Basaolto: So he's got Billy's head, and is comforting it.

 

Singha: and it's weeping.  Tears just pouring out.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He holds it to his shoulder as if there were a whole person there, letting him cry, stroking his hair gently.

 

Singha: the tears pour down Faris' chest, across the rose tatoo, and then down onto his belt, dripping off onto the obsidian dais.

 

Singha: Meanwhile, Angelia is attempting to figure out some way to tie Mas' head to Simba.

 

Singha: And Billy's head when Faris is ready to give it up

 

Singha: the hammies aren't super happy about getting wet, so they hide under some of the other heads

 

Karlos Basaolto: Faris isn't ready to give Billy up until Billy stops crying. Which could take a while.

 

Singha: a little rivulet flows from Faris off the edge of the dais into the brambles.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He murmurs softly to Billy "Let it go, Billy. Let it all go."

 

Singha: Billy does indeed weep for quite some time.

 

Singha: meanwhile, Simba trots over to investigate the rivulet, sniffing it and licking at the water.

 

Singha: FS continues to watch, coiling up and letting them all figure out what they should be doing. Ang seems to think the best idea is to tie the heads to Simba and put Simba on the throne.

 

Singha: ((and I'm assuming Mas and Silkie are having some kind of conversation that allows the others in the sentai to realize what Metoac is and why they need to free her, and consequently why Ellis Island is so important)

 

Singha: ((which Malcolm will join in order to allows Karlos to commune with Billy))

 

Singha: Simba licks the tears up, following them to Faris' toes, then licking up his leg.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He listens to their conversation, but is quiet, only piping up if they come up with something morally objectionable.

 

Singha: Simba suddenly goes on alert, ears pricking up.  He stares for a moment at the heads on Faris' belt and then starts pawing at them.  Apparently, he's smelled the hammies and thinks they're yummy potential snacks.

 

Singha: the hammies cry out in fear and squeak "Faris!  A monster!"

 

Karlos Basaolto: He takes a step back, reaching down to tap Simba on the nose. "No, Simba," he murmurs. "Please don't eat them."

 

Singha: Simba growls and gruffs annoyed ~they smell like food~

 

Singha: ~they squeak like food, too~

 

Karlos Basaolto: "They are my friends," he murmurs gently.

 

Singha: ~how can you be friends with food?~

 

Karlos Basaolto: He smiles a little, kissing Billy's hair for a moment. "Talk to them."

 

Singha: Simba snorts and chuffs, padding away, frustrated.  There is a bit of an elitist air about him that doesn't appear in Mas, tho he seems to have all the curiosity of the man.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He looks down to the hammies, murmuring "You guys okay?"

 

Singha: When the coast is clear, the hammies peek out from beneath the heads and say "Thank you, Faris."   They scurry up the brambles of his back to his/her shoulders, clinging to Faris' neck gratefully.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He reaches up, petting them gently, reassuringly.

 

Singha: They are quite relieved.  Meanwhile, Billy ceases his tears finally.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He strokes Billy's hair, looking down to him, murmuring gently "Billy?"

 

Singha: tho in the direction that his tears flowed, the brambles seem a bit healthier and there is one rose bud forming.  It also happens to be to the West of the dais, in the spot that corresponds to Trev's grave

 

Singha: "Yes, Faris?"  Billy looks to him, and Faris can see why Ainsley fell in love with that face.  There is something quite noble, quite spiritual, very leonine but in that spirit of Caradoc way.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He smiles softly. "How are you feeling?" he asks gently.

 

Singha: Billy's eyes move over those assembled here, coming to rest on Ah Bing Shen, who seems utterly intrigued at the goings on here.  Then he looks to Firesnake, then back to Karlos.  "It's good to be out of Angu's realm."

 

Karlos Basaolto: He nods softly. "I can only imagine," he murmurs quietly. Then he reaches up and delicately plucks a butterfly out of his own aura, if he can, and settles it on Billy's head.

 

Singha: (roll GN to do that))

 

Karlos Basaolto: : 9,3,2,
 

Singha: he gets a single butterfly and puts it on Billy's head

 

Singha: "What year is it?" Billy asks through that ruined voice.  "How long have I been asleep?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: "It's 2005," he murmurs. "We've just entered the year of Yiyou."

 

Singha: He frowns, then glances over to the throne.  Then to Faris.  "Why have you waited so long to rouse me?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: "We have had difficulty getting here," he says simply. "But we are here now."

 

Singha: "But who has led you?  How did the throne appear?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: He smiles gently. "The Lieutenant has done everything that he can in your absence."

 

Singha: He frowns, looking around, then back to Faris.  "I am still incomplete."

 

Karlos Basaolto: He crouches and calls Simba over, after moving the hammies onto Malc's shoulders for safekeeping. "Simba..."

 

Singha: Simba looks up from chewing FS tail, then trots over, looking hopefully toward Karlos.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He smiles to the cub, turning Billy so he can see him. "This is Simba. Simba, this is Billy."

 

Singha: Billy blinks at the cub, then look a question to Karlos, apparently never having met  Mas in his feline forms.

 

Singha: Simba sniffs Billy, getting as close as possible, hoping to get within paw range.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He smiles a little to them both. "When Stonewall tried to raise Zi Teng, he made the body of a man. I made the body of a cub. Simba is that cub."

 

Singha: Simba lifts up an exploratory paw, trying to catch hold of Billy's head.

 

Singha: "The Boar tried to raise Mas?  Why?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: He moves Billy just a little out of reach, just in case Billy doesn't actually want to be eaten yet.

 

Karlos Basaolto: "We needed a King. But I could only raise one, and I chose Malcolm," he murmurs softly. "The Boar, I think, was unhappy with my choice."

 

Singha: Billy frowns at that, glancing over to Malcolm.  He apparently isn't so happy with that choice, either.  But he doesn't voice his displeasure, apparently realizing the control Faris has over him at the moment.

 

Karlos Basaolto: "Angelia thinks you can be tied to Simba, along with Mas, and be renewed. I think maybe Simba should eat you both." He nods toward Mas' head. But then Faris seems to think eating petals is fine and dandy too.

 

Singha: "Where is the sword?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: "We do not have it."

 

Singha: "Where is it?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: "It is in the hands of the Dragons."

 

Singha: ((And what happens next may depend on whether or not anybody tells Billy that the sword was shattered and reforged))

 

Singha: 'How did it fall to the Dragons?"  Billy seems confused

 

Karlos Basaolto: He begins relaying as much as he knows about what's happened to the sword since Billy died.

 

Singha: Simba chuffs, unhappy at having Billy out of reach, and pads off to find something more interesting.

 

Karlos Basaolto: Moving through Adam's trial, to the sword and the collar shattering, to Angelia, Reyna and Trevor getting both remade, to the Dragons seizing it when they tried to take it into Trevor's trial.

 

Singha: Billy considers all this, and then asks "When was Mas raised?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: "When Simba was. But Mas was made human, and Simba is everything inhuman. Somehow Simba recieved all the gifts that we set down for Mas." He relays how and what they all gave to the dirt Mas.

 

Singha: Billy seems puzzled by all this, and asks "Why did you not simply restore us as one when Carla still held the sword?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: "Malcolm was dead," he murmurs. "I was told I could only raise one."

 

Singha: "Faris," Billy says, not really chiding but a bit exasperated.  "Since when do you ever do as told?"

 

Karlos Basaolto: He smiles ruefully. "I'm sorry. It was explained to me that the magic would only allow one to be reborn, and for that to happen the others must die. I was still learning. I still am. But now I am more ready to break the rules."

 

Singha: "Where is my lieutenant?" Billy glances around then back to Faris.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He nods toward the bloom. "He is on Rose Island, being punished by the Dragons for killing men they sent to kill him. He is alive, but..." His face creases in worry. "They have buried him alive."

 

Singha: Billy considers this, expression inscrutable.

 

Karlos Basaolto: "We've given him as much as we can to help him hold on, but..."

 

Singha: He looks to FS, then to Faris, then to the others.  "I do not know how best to combine us.  It seems that there is already a General who sits on this throne."

 

Karlos Basaolto: "Your Lieutenant claimed it in your name," he murmurs.

 

Singha: "He appears to have claimed my title,too," Billy says ruefully.

 

Karlos Basaolto: He frowns worriedly. "They have tortured him. Buried him alive. Perhaps they have even broken him, forced him to claim this so that you may not."

 

Singha: ((Adn to that, Silkie and Okami would speak up and say that's not what happened, but that One Who Watches claimed the title reluctantly, in order to fulfil his pledge to FS and the Courts to restore Zi Teng to the throne before the end of the year))

 

Karlos Basaolto: He looks worried at that.

 

Singha: Okami would add that One Who Watches pledged to abdicate the title and the throne to a champion of General Satu's choice if General Satu would participate in the cleansing of the Dragons.

 

Karlos Basaolto: Ah, so the whole restore Zi Teng To The Throne thing has been a waste of time. Great,

 

Singha: No, actually it gave Trev the leverage needed to force the General to agree to the cleansing of the Dragons

 

Karlos Basaolto: I don't think there's much more Faris can do at this point other than to throw open the "what now?" to the Body, and re-encourage Angelia to do the rite.

 

Singha: to agree to letting the Body help cleanse the dragons

 

Karlos Basaolto: .

 

Singha: ?

 

Karlos Basaolto: I said that I don't think there's much more Faris can do at this point other than to throw open the "What now?" questionto the Body and re-encourage Angelia to do tthe rite

 

Singha: ah I thought you might have had some other response but if you want to stop tehre we can

 

Karlos Basaolto: I don't see what response I can have without the others having their say at this juncture.

 

Karlos Basaolto: Because I'm all outta ideas.

 

Singha: Okay.

 

Karlos Basaolto: And I suspect someone might object to letting Simba eat Billy and MAs *G*

 

Singha: Malc would suggest simply putting all 3 on the throne at the same time and seeing what happens.

 

Karlos Basaolto: It's worth a go, certainly.\

 

Singha: or feeding all 3 to FS

 

Karlos Basaolto: Well, try the less fatal one first *G*

 

Singha: what I'll do, if i can get the others together tonight, is to bring them up to where you are and then email the log to you at work

 

Okami Yuki: ((here))

Angelia Caponelli: (present!)

Singha [feb 14]: ((Ingvar-p was a silly boy and stayed up all night, only going to sleep a few hours ago))

Okami Yuki: ((gha... damm *G*))

Singha [feb 14]: oops, wrong color

Silkie: ((That would be all night AND half the day. Sheesh.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I'm here...one of my character's already in deep, deep shit, so let's get to work on the other one! *G*))

Angelia Caponelli: Okay so here's the plan I believe we left on. Any input: ngelia Caponelli: Alright. So here's my idea. Reyna, you're touching the throne as we speak, you can try and mainline Rose/lws while Okami and I tackle Ingvar in the fire. Silkie turns into a bird, goes, gets rose brings it back /fast/. Reyna floods us all with LWS's good vibes and connects us to the trio in the flower. And you guys get into the flames with us... not sure the shape yet.

Angelia Caponelli: Angelia Caponelli: good. Cool. Then as soon as we're all good and through the flames I'll lead us in rite of the open sky and we can cleanse the whole area and feed the flowers.

Silkie: ((Sounds like a plan!))

Okami Yuki: ((blinks, if Okami is in asking time she'll ask what fire))

Singha [feb 14]: ((If I recall correctly, the order was: Reyna, Ang, LIONGUY, Ingvar, Silkie, Okami, FIRESNAKE?))

Okami Yuki: ((and what is LWS?))

Angelia Caponelli: (Yup)

Okami Yuki: ((yeup, yeup, pretty much *nods* I think))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((That is correct, yeah.))

 

Angelia Caponelli: (Yup)

Okami Yuki: ((yeup, yeup, pretty much *nods* I think))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((That is correct, yeah.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: So, her action is to grab ahold of Ingvar and attempt to connect to Lady Whitesnake.

Singha [feb 14]: ((So, we're back at the top of the round. What does Reyna do?))

Angelia Caponelli: Lady white snake is an asian totem of love. THere is fire... around Ingvar who is about to frenzy.

Okami Yuki: ((^*sighs* ))

Singha [feb 14]: Roll GN to activate the brand, and dex+brawl to grab Ingvar

Singha [feb 14]: Ingvar is not about to frenzy. He ~is~ in Frenzy

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 8,9,5,8,7,

Okami Yuki: ((well isn't the fire ht eLionguy thingy? just completely lost on what fire you are talking...=P))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((That was Gnosis))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 6,7,2,1,5,

Angelia Caponelli: Ang's going to snap shift before she tackles Ingvar btw

 

Angelia Caponelli: (that's to tackle)

Singha [feb 14]: ((Ang if you are using Rage, roll for frenzy))

Angelia Caponelli: 7,3,

Singha [feb 14]: ((You shift, but you have 2 auto sux to frenzy, your diff is 4 and each round you are in a form other than breed, you have one more sux to frenzy))

Silkie: ((Yikes!))

Singha [feb 14]: The Lionguy slams one of his many paws at Ang, Reyna, Okami, and Silkie. The rest of his many paws slam into FS

Angelia Caponelli: (ouchies. Well pinning Ingvar this round. Will shift down next one when I know I have Okami helping.)

Okami Yuki: ((yea.. bad. bad. bad news...*G*))

Okami Yuki: ((well I was on crinos Ingvar, but away the thingy,.. means I am on that situation too?))

Okami Yuki: ((duni whyI said ingvar there))

Singha [feb 14]: 2,10,1,3,7,3,6,7,

Singha [feb 14]: 2,3,2,9,5,4,10,2,

Angelia Caponelli: Okami you're suposed to be tackling Ingvar with me dear. Dex + brawl

Singha [feb 14]: 8,2,5,5,9,2,9,5,

Singha [feb 14]: 5,4,8,8,5,4,7,3,

Singha [feb 14]: 3,10,4,7,1,7,2,10,

Singha [feb 14]: ((Acgtually, Okami is on the other side of FS with Silkie, since last round she grabbed Silkie and ran away from the throne and the lionguy. So to tackle Ingvar, Okami must leap over FS and jump on Ingvar))

Angelia Caponelli: (*nods* Unless she burns rage for extra movement)

Singha [feb 14]: ((No, Okami, you have not been hit by one of the paws yet so you are not subject to the Frenzy situation until you actually get hit))

Okami Yuki: ((yea.. I knows *G* I am spenidng rage to do many things if I can to.. hoping not to frenzy.... though.. though I wasn't asked any frenzy rolls last time... so.. dunno *G*.. just wating to see what the Silki does))

Okami Yuki: ((ah thanks!))

Singha [feb 14] -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((And what does Reyna ask LWS when she feels the brand flare to life?))

Silkie: Silkie looks around, a little panicked perhaps, over how things are going. Her eyes fasten on the flower, and she concentrates. (wp) Her clothing drop into a pile and a robin-sized hawk launches itself into the air.

Singha [feb 14]: ((roll dex+ath to avoid the paw smashign at you, Silkie0)

Okami Yuki: ((sighs* parents yelling cause the dogs pukced... and I HAVE to go cleaning cause whenever the dogs do ANYTHING messy I am the one yelled at to go cleaning *sighs*)) -- *She frown, hopes Selene and the Mother are on their side, so, Silkie birding off from her arms, is dodge paw, hopefully jumping in the right way to help Angelia with that ((and if not spending a rage to jump in the right way)) and then tackle Inver, help get him where thei pointed at* ((if my counts are right I might be spending two rages))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Singha [feb 14]: ((She asks Lady Whitesnake to spread her connection throughout the Body, using her as a conduit if necessary. Including Karlos, Malc, and Trevor, if possible.))

Okami Yuki: 6,2,4,9,4,9,8,10,2,

Silkie: 3,2,10,7,5,5,2,

Silkie: (don't smash the little birdie!)

Singha [feb 14] -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Does she spend any GN to help fuel the link, esepcially to people like Ingvar who have no connection to LWS or Rose?))

 

Singha [feb 14]: ((roll for frenzy, okami))

Okami Yuki: ((gha!))

Okami Yuki: 6,4,9,4,6,

Okami Yuki: ((*pouts biggie* I didn't dodge, did I?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Singha [feb 14]: ((Absolutely. She'll give all the Gnosis Lady Whitesnake needs. If you want a number, I'll go with 4 out of her 5.))

Singha [feb 14]: ((yes, you dodged, but you're using Rage, so therefore opening yourself up to teh Frenzy))

Okami Yuki: ((ahh.. hadn't realised))

Singha [feb 14]: 6,1,5,6,4,6,9,3,7,

Singha [feb 14]: ((And that was ingvar's attack roll on whoever was closest, which is either Ang or Reyna (rolling 1 die, odd it's Ang, even it's Reyna))

Singha [feb 14]: 3,

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((rage actions go last, right?))

Angelia Caponelli: (braces for the pain)

Singha [feb 14]: 3,8,4,4,2,9,10,5,3,4,

Singha [feb 14]: Ang takes 3 AGG from Ingvar's claws as he tears into her mindlessly.

Singha [feb 14]: ((yes, rage actions go last. Okami you are frenzied, in the Thrall of the Wyrm.))

Angelia Caponelli: ooc I get a soak?

Okami Yuki: ((mhe!!! damm it *winces* ok, to make sure, that means I lose the Rage actions right? *hopes so*))

Angelia Caponelli: (no it means you're attacking)

Singha [feb 14]: ((Yes, Ang can soak, no, Okami you get both Rage actions, tho the closest thing to you atm to attack is Firesnake))

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((don't get mad... without the being touched by the paws, too had automtic suxxs?))

Okami Yuki: ((isn't sure if that is good or bad...*G* ok.. trying ot eat my Totem to be =( ))

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((YES. You accessed your RAGE, therefore OPENED yourself up to FRENZY))

Angelia Caponelli: 2,9,6,9,7,

Angelia Caponelli: (Yeah soaks it all)

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((sowwy))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*Whew*))

Singha [feb 14]: 2,10,8,3,1,6,3,5,9,

Singha [feb 14]: 7,8,4,6,6,1,7,2,

Singha [feb 14]: 7,3,7,5,2,5,2,

 

Singha [feb 14]: 1,4,4,5,8,7,

Singha [feb 14]: 8,2,8,4,5,4,1,2,

Singha [feb 14]: Alright, standby while I describe what happens up to Okami's rage actions. Okami, roll for both attacks.

Okami Yuki: 6,2,4,8,5,5,10,10,4,

Okami Yuki: 10,6,7,10,4,3,3,8,5,

Okami Yuki: ((ghe...))

Angelia Caponelli: (winces)

Okami Yuki: ((rolling damage unless the Singha sais nop))

Singha [feb 14]: Reyna activates LWS and feels the warmth flood her, creating an instant connection with Ang, Karlos, Malcolm, and Silkie. LWS has to work hard to get through to Ingvar and Okami, since they're presently frenzied, but she does manage to contact FS.

Okami Yuki: 8,4,2,4,7,2,4,2,7,

Okami Yuki: ((or not))

Singha [feb 14]: ((roll Rage for Damage))

Okami Yuki: (ahh))

Okami Yuki: 4,2,9,2,8,

Okami Yuki: 7,4,8,1,2,

Okami Yuki: ((there, to both attacks))

Singha [feb 14]: Ang shifts and jumps on Ingvar, who tears into her mindlessly. Fortunately, she soaks. Silkie fies off to the white Rose, finding the paw that desecnds on her passes right through her. Okami dodges the paw falling on her, but when she accesses her Rage, finds herself in the Thrall of the Wyrm.

Singha [feb 14]: Those who feel the link with Rose & LWS flaring up, get an immediate message from Karlos: "Have Ingvar contact Thunder and make it rain, you have to get rid of the silver to get rid of the rage!"

Singha [feb 14]: Okami claws into FS, tearing two gashes in him. The Lionguy's paws slame through Ang and Reyna, as well as Ingvar again, and also tear into FS

Singha [feb 14]: Karlos adds to the end "Oh, and Malcolm and I are running out of air...and Beryl is coming to help if she can."

Silkie: ((Ask to be buried, then complain there's no air. *L* That is SO like them.))

Angelia Caponelli: (lols!)

Singha [feb 14]: ((Isn't it? At least the ritual put Trev in suspended animation so he doesn't have to breath. *G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*G*))

Okami Yuki: ((sillys =P))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Okami roll WP to see if you have enough sense of self left for LWS to reach you))

Okami Yuki: ((can I spend a willpower *Giggles and hides*))

Okami Yuki: 6,8,2,8,5,

Angelia Caponelli: ~Silkie! Call Sea to make it rain!~ She yells both aloud and through the connection as she struggles to keep Ingvar down.

Singha [feb 14]: Okay, Ang, Reyna, Malcolm, Karlos, Silkie, and FS are all connected via LWS you can all communicate as if there is Waking Dream of Unity Gift in effect. Okami and Ingvar have been contacted, but LWS is not 'opening a channel' in order to protect the rest of you from their Thrall. Meaning LWS can reach them but will not allow communication through her directly.))


Silkie: *She can only do one thing at a time, and at the moment, she's executing a little hawk dive for that flower, and hoping the vampire brambles don't grab her and eat her.*

Singha [feb 14]: So...that's all what's happened this round.

Okami Yuki: ((nod))

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: When she enters Thrall, Okami finds herself on a vast, dark desert of black, gritty sand, heaped with the blood and gore of body after body. Obsidian obelisks dot the plain, each obelisk holding a Shifter chained to it, each shifter fully in Thrall.

Angelia Caponelli: (do we have the -1 to dice pools like waking dream?)

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: Overhead the sky is black with clouds, and thunderous red flashes reflect against the clouds in random moments. Around Okami's neck is a black collar, attached to the collar is a chain, the length of which is about 30 feet, and it terminates at an obelisk with the glyph for the Eater of Souls

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((ehg!))can she move? is she held?))

Singha [feb 14]: ((yes, you are distracted with your attention in two places))

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: A very small part of her is actually aware she is in the Thrall and that she is basically tied directly to this foulness and mainlining it into her soul. She is, however trapped by it, a helpless observer to the actions of the rest of her. sort of like being aware of the fact you're dreaming in a nightmare but unable to change the course of events

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Seeing that Okami's lost it, she frowns, and tries to help Angelia hold Ingvar down in the flames. "C'mon, Ingy...wake up! No psycho-boy now..."

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((ok, omit that one)) *she'll hiss lowly and try to free herself from the chain if she can*

Angelia Caponelli: (just checking)

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((*nods* ))

Angelia Caponelli: (Oh and to be clear does this put Ang and Inggy in the flames already where they're grappling?)

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: The wave of hatred, hunger, rage, bloodlust is so powerful, it sweeps her along, despite her efforts to resist. She's like a litttle cork against a tidal wave. She is eating her way toward the obelisk. (Roll per+occ or awareness))

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((I think to muh like a MAge *giggle*))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Yes. Ang, Ing, and Reyna are all in the flames, surrounded by the coils of LWS and at the feet of Narasimha. Okami is outside the coils of FS and clawing her way toward the center where you three are. Silkie is off at the Rose.

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((I have neither, but I will spend a will if I am allowed to it))

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: 10,6,

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((She is incapable of doing anything but consuming the bodies of the people in front of her, since she is caught in the Thrall of the Wyrm. She does, however, feel a presense there with her.))

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((She realizes that as she eats her way toward the obelisk, the chain is getting shorter and shorter. And that once she reaches the obelisk, she will be lost to the Thrall forever, like the rest of the shifters bound here.))

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((nods)) *she'll try to fight to reach that precense, both to try to make herself concentrate on something else that the foulness of this, and try to... well as you said, dream, try to reach out of it*

Singha [feb 14]: So...new round what do you guys do?

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((more to fight with all her force to avoid so!!))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Trying to help hold Ingvar down))

Angelia Caponelli: Ang continues trying to keep ingvar down but she's going to have to drop down to homid while she does.

Silkie: *Talons reach for the stem below the white rose and she flutters over the brambles briefly, snipping the stem with her sharp little beak. Silkie is quite mindful of the wicked thorns.*

Silkie: 8,2,1,5,2,2,1,

Silkie: ((OH hell, that was dex + ath. What is wrong with the dice bot today?!))

Singha [feb 14]: Lionguy slams his paws into Ang, Reyna, Ingvar, Okami, and FS.


Singha [feb 14]: Silkie snips the rose but drops it and it falls into the brambles.

Angelia Caponelli: ~Silkie.... we need Sea. Fast.~

Singha [feb 14]: ((And since none of you are dodging, i'm not going gto roll to hit this go round. Ang, roll for frenzy))

Angelia Caponelli: 1,7,

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ~what will you give up to be free of this?~ the presence asks Okami

Singha [feb 14]: Ang shifts down to homid. Ingvar takes a bite out of whoever's nearest. (Rolling to hit for him, then rolling 1 die, odd Ang, even Reyna)

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: *trying to hold to it even more as it speaks* ((do I recognise it? as good at least?)) what evern is needed... I will not fall onto the Centipede claws

Singha [feb 14]: 5,4,6,9,5,10,7,4,2,

Singha [feb 14]: 7,

Singha [feb 14]: 9,7,2,8,2,3,1,5,

Singha [feb 14]: Ang takes another 2 AGG (soakable) from Ing's bite. Okami tears into FS (Roll to hit, then roll Rage for damage)

Okami Yuki: 2,8,3,6,4,7,6,6,5,

Okami Yuki: 6,9,4,4,1,

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ~you have already fallen into the Thrall of the Eater of Souls. What will you give to be free?~

Singha [feb 14]: 9,9,6,5,5,6,3,4,

Singha [feb 14]: 3,3,2,9,8,1,4,4,

Angelia Caponelli: 5,9,

Angelia Caponelli: (soaks 1 then)

Singha [feb 14]: Okami slams her paws into FS, tearing another chunk out of him. LIonguy tears even more out of FS, who is starting to look transparent. FS keeps his fangs into Narasimha's leg, however, remaining coiled around him.

Silkie: "SKREEE!" *Flapping wildly to get out of the brambles.*

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((have no idea what to say in specific *G*)) *she'll wrack her brains, in search of anything worthy enough* ((I can know if it is a good spirit, cause if it is I can thing on offering a Service)) what will you ask of me?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "RAIN, Silkie!" Both thought and screamed as she tries to keep the crazy Lord down.

Singha [feb 14]: The brambles around the white rose have not attacked Silkie, it's just that she's lost the rose down among them.

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((You do not know if it's a good or a bad spirit. it is simply a presense. You have to figure out what you will offer without any further clues))

Silkie: *She tries to focus. Why her friends think she can make it rain is beyond her, but she's willing to try. Maybe Mother will call upon her lover, Oversea.* (rolling gnosis to contact Sea, and burning wp)

Silkie: 6,6,7,1,6,5,

Singha [feb 14]: From far off there is a rythmic chuffing sound

Silkie: "Mother! We need rain! Help us!"

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((*G* I am trying to think *S* thinking khan, thinking spirit like)) *she'll hiss, as she just tries to keep from going further close to the obsidian pillar* I will find you a Secret ((gha!!!))

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ~I have no need of Secrets. What are you willing to give up to free yourself?~

 

Singha [feb 14]: 8,7,9,3,8,9,1,2,

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: *she'll nearly sigh* at this point I am willing to give up my life, is better to die then to remind thus.

Singha [feb 14]: Ok, everybody roll GN

Angelia Caponelli: 10,6,8,2,

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: me too?))

Silkie: 1,7,5,5,6,6,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 6,8,9,1,9,

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((yes. When I say everybody, I mean everybody))

Silkie: ((You BITCH! Slays the dice bot. It's betrayed me! It used to LOVE Silkie. *L*))

Okami Yuki: 8,7,4,

Singha [feb 14]: ((And here's where it'd be really nice to have Ingvar-p show up...))

Angelia Caponelli: (um yes... brb my cat moved her kittcens and I dont' know where to)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*Performs the Rite of Summoning Player*))

Okami Yuki: ((provably somewhere save or warmer *G*))

Singha [feb 14]: 9,8,9,4,8,2,3,3,7,

Singha [feb 14]: 8,3,2,3,7,4,1,9,6,

Singha [feb 14]: 4,

Angelia Caponelli: (back ish found 'em)

Singha [feb 14]: This time, it's Reyna who gets bitten into. And takes 3 AGG. Okami attacks FS (roll) and meanwhile Silkie is summoning Sea.

Okami Yuki: 4,9,1,4,9,1,10,7,1,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 7,2,4,

Okami Yuki: ((*blinks, I think I missed? counts))

Singha [feb 14]: 7,1,4,1,5,4,5,4,7,

Singha [feb 14]: 6,8,9,9,5,4,3,2,

Singha [feb 14]: ((you hit, roll Rage for damage))

Okami Yuki: ((yeup I just wasn't sure, recounted))

Okami Yuki: 5,6,2,7,4,

Silkie: "Please Mother, we really need your help."

Singha [feb 14]: Narasimha slams one of those car windsheild sized paws into Okami, who goes smoosh, flattened. At the same time FS dissolves into nothing, and the truly awesome power of Narasimha is unleashed.

Singha [feb 14]: All those in the link feel some enoormous power surging up from the depths of Ingvar's thrall, and can feel his very spirit calling to Thunder to cleanse this taint from him.


Singha [feb 14]: All of you also feel Okami's willing sacrifice of her life in order to free them all from the taint of the Thrall

Singha [feb 14]: And you all feel an enourmous...wave...of something sweep through you, the chaotic power of Sea answering Silkie's call, dotted with bright golden glints of calming sunlight, the shining gold of Caradoc's compassion, gifted by Karlos and MAlcolm.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang relaxes from her tackling Ingvar to concentrate on her bonds with Lady White Snake and Firesnake.

Singha [feb 14]: The sky literally opens up, and a deluge pours down, the waters mingling with the purging fire of Narashima, and you all feel a sort of spark, a primordial union of water and fire, of earth and air, and of spirit.

Silkie: *Ralizing she's been heard, her sharp eyes search for the white rose, intending to dive through the brambles and rescue it.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She follows Angelia's lead, centering herself inward, on her connection.

Singha [feb 14]: Okami and ingvar both feel this cleansing fire shoot through them, out from their cores, and feel the chains on them break away, and find themselves on the dais

Singha [feb 14]: Ingvar at all once realizes who spoke to him, who reached out for him, and why. He falls to his knees, stunned.

Singha [feb 14]: Okami...lingers there for a moment, floating outside of her body, which died so quickly it's not yet realized it's dead.

Okami Yuki: ((eh...*S*))

Singha [feb 14]: The deluge scours away the silver surface of the plain, the waters seeping into the brambles, which immediately begin to grow beyond the boundaries of their 30 foot radius, spreading out rapidly to expand across the plain.

Angelia Caponelli: (*blinks!*)

Singha [feb 14]: The Fire of Narasimha has become a radiance. It glows on the throne, the diamond scattering the light in a prismatic spray of color.

Singha [feb 14]: The distant chuffing sound comes nearer. It sounds like a steam locomotive flying toward them from the south.

Singha [feb 14]: Ang and Reyna both feel that connection with LWS, tha warmth and glowing sense of peace that comes with Caradoc's presence. They feel also sadness regarding Okami's death, and disappointment in Ingvar's choice.

Angelia Caponelli: She looks up and around. Over the bramble, to Okami... who it takes a moment to realize is dying or dead and then to the chuffing. She gets up quickly and heads to the fallen Khan.

Singha [feb 14]: They also feel the absence of FS

Silkie: *If she finds the flower, she snags it, then wings for Angelia, landing on her shoulder.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's simply...stunned by all of this. She moves, shakily, toward Okami, with a look back to Ingvar.

Silkie: 4,10,10,8,5,

Singha [feb 14]: ((Just to clarfiy...no brambles on the throne or dais, they are spreading out around the throne onto the plain.)) The waters continuing pouring down, Sea and Oversea seeming to be making love to one another in the vastness of this place.))

Silkie: (per+alert to find the flower)

Singha [feb 14]: Silke snatches up the Rose and flies to Ang with it.

Singha [feb 14]: The brambles, now that they are being watered, are no longer thirsty for blood, but quite content to grow happily with the needed moisture they've been starved of for all this time.

Silkie: *Peers joyfully to the sky, rose in her beak, emotions mixed over all that happened so quickly. ~Shall I give the flower to Narasimha?~

Singha [feb 14] -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Reyna senses that Ingvar is having trouble realizing tha it was the Sentai who reached out for him, and it was their love which was able to pull him back from the brink to where he could reach out for Thunder

Angelia Caponelli: Ang leans down over Okami and puts her hand on the Khan, trying to revive her. (mother's touch)

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((mine spirit floating there? ))

Angelia Caponelli: 6,9,1,7,5,

Singha [feb 14] -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((not realizing....accepting.))

 

Silkie: *Leaning over Ang's shoulder she drops the rose onto Okami, hoping it will help.*

Singha [feb 14] -> Angelia Caponelli: ((Angelia feels Malcolm give Okami, through Rose and through LWS then throun Ang's MT, one of the Lives that MAlcolm himself was due as part of some ritual done on him))

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: Okami feels the choice to remain alive, or to go be reincarnated being presented to her when Ang touches her. She is aware that Malcolm is giving up one of his Nine Lives in order that Okami may live, should she choose to

Singha [feb 14]: The Rose sits on Okami's inert form.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She pauses a moment, turning to look at Ingvar, and walks in his direction and dropping to a crouch next to him and looking at him for a moment.

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((Nine Lives? *S*)) -- ((I pretty much want to keep playing her, but I need to know... to chose to live will undo what ever she got from having chosen to give up her life?))

Singha [feb 14]: The loud chuffing is almost over powering as the potbellied, portly, batwinged dragon flies close enough to hover over them. (If you've seen Pete's Dragon, then she looks alot like that)

Angelia Caponelli: She rubs Okami's shoulder slowly, "Come on..."

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((No, because Malcolm is giving up his life instead))

Singha [feb 14]: The brilliance of Narasimha fades slowly, until it's just the throne itself that is radiating a brilliant, slightly golden light.

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((he won't die right?!.. to fasten this up. Okami knows she still needs to do things here, mostly that she will do more good fighting in this moment then next life... but if that means Malcomg will die this time, then no. I realise the concept of nine lives, which means he will go on living ... if that means he gets to keep on going then yes. ((as per not to hold this more))

Singha [feb 14]: Ah Bing Shen watches all of this sadly.

Silkie: *Peers over her shoulder at the fading throne.* ~Is she alive?~

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((He will die, and then reanimate, as per the Rite of the Nine Lives))

Singha [feb 14]: Ingvar gives Reyna a haunted look, and promptly turns and vomits.

Angelia Caponelli: She whimpers softly, ~Malcolm... it's not working.~

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((jeje I don't know the Ritual *G* but I get the Concept.... *sighs* She'll acept the gift as a GREAT honor, as long as she knows Malcom will be fine. She will not take completly anothers life just to retain hers)) ((life meaning their chanses to keep on with this life))

Silkie: *Sidesteps the length of Ang's shoulder, one way and then the other. Birdie pacing.*

Singha [feb 14]: Karlos says through the link ~uh...guys? Air? Be nice to have some?~

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs a little, and politely holds Ingvar's hair back for him as he empties whatever he had for lunch on the dais.

Angelia Caponelli: She lookd up, "Beryl. Could you dig up Karlos and Malcolm!?"

Silkie: ~How do we retrieve them?~ *glancing around at the others*

Singha [feb 14]: The Dragon floathing there clears her throat and waits politely to be accknowledged. The rain continues to fall in a violent deluge. It's cold but not freezing.

Okami Yuki: ((I keep wondering who is Beryl *S*)=)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks up at Beryl, nodding. "Hi, Beryl."

Singha [feb 14]: ((BERYL is the potbellied DRAGON that is hovering there above you guys))

Okami Yuki: ((or not..))

Silkie: *A dragon! Turns her head to peer at Beryl with one beady amethyst eye, but stays close to Ang's cheek, just in case dragon's eat birds.*

Okami Yuki: ((oi! thanks))

Angelia Caponelli: "Silkie, turn into something that can dig." She looks back down over Okami and leans over to start good old conventional CPR.

 

Singha [feb 14]: Beryl nods politely and says "Her Majesty asked me to inform you that the one called Ingvar should call on Thunder and the one called Silkie should call on Sea and so make much rain to wash the Silver away."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: And then she closes her eyes, still helping Ingvar keep his hair vomit-free if necessary. ~Lady Whitesnake...Faris and Malcolm need your help. Will you bring them back to us?~

Singha [feb 14]: ((if Okami accepts the gift, Okami begins breathign again. PLease state what you are doing, Okami))

Okami Yuki: ((did!!! *points up, and copy and pastes again))

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((jeje I don't know the Ritual *G* but I get the Concept.... *sighs* She'll acept the gift as a GREAT honor, as long as she knows Malcom will be fine. She will not take completly anothers life just to retain hers)) ((life meaning their chanses to keep on with this life))

Silkie: *Thinks. A badger maybe.* ~I think I should shift after we get to the digging place.~

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((jeje... wron'g pm to wrong person *hideS*))

Singha [feb 14]:  ~I cannot~ LWS replies to Reyna. ~But I can ask Rose to drive her roots deeply enough to give them air while they are dug out~

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. ~That would be most appreciated. Thank you~

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((that meaning a yes... as per what you said of the Ritual))

Silkie: *Cocks her head at Ingvar, and wonders if they should make love like Sea and Oversea. What a summoning THAT would make!*

Singha [feb 14]: ((So PLEASE POST YOU ARE WAKING UP Okami.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Then she looks at Ingvar. "Ingvar, we need you to call on Thunder again, for more rain. We need all this silver washed away."

Okami Yuki: ((mhe! *sorrry, sorry, I dind't got that one part *hides behind the SG^*uh)) *will take a breath in, a bit rasped, her eyes moving open*

Singha [feb 14]: The brambles get to work over the spot where the white Rose was

Singha [feb 14]: ((I'm not mad, just posting in CAPS because that seems to be the only parts you READ))

Silkie: 9,5,9,2,7,9,

Angelia Caponelli: Takes a deep relieved breath when Okami wakes up. "Thank the totems."

Okami Yuki: ((I do not.. I was reading on along, I just wasn't sure if I had to make it myslef or wait for you to state what happeend, sorry))

Silkie: (gnosis roll) *closes her eyes and calls out to Sea for even more rain*

Angelia Caponelli: (LOLS at Silkie)

Singha [feb 14]: 5,4,

Angelia Caponelli: (*might have to go soon when SO gets here)

Silkie -> Singha [feb 14]: ((If Ing-p were here, Silkie would probably try to lure Ing into ritual sex, but... not sure how that would go, or if you want to tackle something like that on behalf of another character.))

Okami Yuki: *she shivers faintly, and atempts a smile to Angelia, moving to rice, or sti straight, and give a small head bow*

Singha [feb 14]: Ingvar is unable to summon Thunder again, and just collapses catatonic.

Singha [feb 14]: 3,5,8,5,9,9,8,6,6,

Silkie -> Singha [feb 14]: *Birdie disappointment as Ing collapses. So much for sex.*

Angelia Caponelli: She puts her hand on Okami's forhead, "Rest...." She looks over to see how the others are doing. "Reyna, do we have a way to get Malcolm and Karlos out?"

 

Singha [feb 14]: The heavens open up, however, and it's not rain any longer but as if Sea herself is pouring through some hole in the sky

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Ingvar and sighs, a little sadly, and makes him more comfortable. She looks over across the dais, and her eyes widen when she sees Okami alive. "Hooo-leee shiite..." She sighs, smiling widely. "One down, eight to go, eh?"

Angelia Caponelli: (gotta go guys. Ang can do Rite of the Open Sky)

Silkie: *There's still mother, though.* ~We need a flood mother!~

Singha [feb 14]: "Oh, yes," Beryl says primly nnd somewhat ineffectually, given the circumstances. "Her Majesty also requested me to pass on the message that She and her Consaort are running out of air."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She glances at Angelia. "Lady Whitesnake's gotten Rose to give them some air to breathe, so we have time, at least. Looks like we're diggin'."

Okami Yuki: *Her eyes go to Angelia, and well... as is not let stay down the dragon, blinking then stating* there... are still... things to do...

Silkie: *Burrows under Ang's hair so she's not washed off her shoulder and digs her talons in.*

Singha [feb 14]: The deluge washes all the seeds off the throne and the dais into the brambles, and across the plain.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: And now comes the surprised gurgle, as she's doused with lots and lots of water. "Hey, hey...desert girl here! Don't know how to swim!"

Silkie: *There go her clothes.*

Silkie: ~Ang> Where do we dig?~

Okami Yuki: *and looks to Rayna, shaking her head faintly* ((erg... we are not getting washed off, are we?))

Singha [feb 14]: Angelie points them to where the White Rose was growing.

Silkie: ~You want me to dig there?~

 

Okami Yuki: *breaths in, trying to shake whatever dissines she may have from the resent experience, to rice and help on, saying softly to Reyna* we will not let you drown *hopefully*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Okami, smiling a little. "I know you won't, hon. Thanks." She walks over, giving Okami an honest-to-goodness full-on hug. Coyotes...

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks to Silkie. "That's where we need to dig, yeah. I'm game to help, as well as I can. I got paws, or I can, anyway."

Okami Yuki: *and is rahter hightly startled by it, just after a moment awkwardly returning it... japanese...*

Okami Yuki: *she then frowns* ah.. if they are dug... lets hurry? else the water will pour in as the air?

Singha [feb 14] -> Singha [feb 14]: 9,9,8,6,3,6,8,7,7,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She blinks. "Ah, shit, probably. Let's get to it."

Silkie: *She drops with a flutter of wet wings to the floor of the dias, and quickly makes herself into badger's form. A fat, black and white beast with two inch claws that are designed to tear soil. On short little stubby legs she waddles into the briar patch and starts to dig.

Silkie: (burned 1wp to shift)

Singha [feb 14] -> Singha [feb 14]: 10,8,8,

Singha [feb 14] -> Singha [feb 14]: 6,2,1,1,

Singha [feb 14]: Since the soil is now saturated, it's easily dug through. But by the time they reach Malcolm and Karlos, they find Karlos alive and MAlcolm dead.

Okami Yuki: *she nods, frowning, not exactly willing to go crinos right now, she though makes her hand unretract tiger claws, moving with them, she is going to help dig them out*((dunno if she feel anyway odd by the being death a bit ago))

Silkie -> Singha [feb 14]: (What happens when wp gets to zero? Has one left.)

Singha [feb 14]: Since Trevor is in the physical reflection of the Island, they do not find him. Tho they do find a little skeleton fish with butterfly wings in the area wehre he is buried, along with the butterfly that MAlcolm sent his way.

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((question, before I say silly things, Okami knows Malcom WILL come back up, right?))

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((She doesn't feel any odd effects. She's fine))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She starts walking toward the spot in question, attempting to shift into Sendeh, which will give her the best digging capacity. She digs through, and when she gets to Karlos and Malcolm, she gasps at the slave's unbreathing form.

Silkie: ~Malcolm?~ *Nudging him with her nose.* ~Breathe for him Angie! Bring him back!~

Silkie: (dlp) *Nips at Reyna, who's digging beside her.* ~Give him your breath!~

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She reverts back into Homid, looking up at Angelia and Okami. "Shit, I don't know CPR...someone wanna give a hand, here??"

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((thx))

Singha [feb 14]: Karlos is remarkably unperturbed by Malcolm's death and says simply to bring him out and rest him on the dais.

Okami Yuki: ((wanna's know somerthing...*S*)) *she frowns, moving in, to bring Malcoml out of it, her eyes looking to him rather intently*

Singha [feb 14]: No amount of healing or licking will bring Malcolm back to life.

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: ((repeats jsut once.. will Okami have an idea tha tMalcom is gonan come back up? as well... what I told you up when you told me if she chose to live?))

Silkie: *Backs out of the hole they dug, in the wrong form to be of much assistance.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She falls back against the wet earth, dirty and muddy and uncaring about the fact that she is, looking between Malc and Karlos.

Silkie: *Licks Malcolm, just in case it will work on the recently dead.*

Singha [feb 14] -> Okami Yuki: ((OKami knows that Malcolm has undergone the Rite of Nine Lives. So she knows he can come back from the dead. Knowing that, she made her decision. She does ~not~ know how long it will take, or if him dying in this Umbral realm will indeed allow him to come back to life))

 

Silkie: *It doesn't, but she would try anyway.*

Okami Yuki -> Singha [feb 14]: *nods,* thanks, making sure

Okami Yuki: *she'll get him out and place the man gently on the dais, still her eyes on him*

Singha [feb 14]: So...Ingvar is catatonic, Ang is doing the Rite of teh Opened Sky, Malcolm is Dead, Karlos is pretty much exhausted, and the rest of you find that FS is no where to be found, but the Diamond throne is glowing with a pretty nifty inner light.

Okami Yuki: *she then, blinks frocing her eyes to the others* what... what happeend with *signaling the throne*

Silkie: *Waddles over to touch the throne with her nose, curious.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: After a few moments, she climbs out of the hole, slipping a couple times as she does, and steps back onto the dais. She looks at the throne, regarding the dais. "So...what now?" She slowly looks over at Okami and Silkie.

Singha [feb 14]: Ah Bing Shen seems to be quite sad, and doesn't exactly say it, but seems to think that y'all, while you survived (mostly) didn't really manage to forge yourselves into a sentai, and so is afraid that you've failed to climb the Mountain.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((at the throne, regarding it.))

Okami Yuki: *and shakes her head so faitnly* I am not certain... lets keep toguether untill Caponelli san finishes *looking somewhat around, staying by Malcoms body, wanint to make sure...*

Silkie: ~I think we need to bring back Firesnake.~

Singha [feb 14]: But, because FS is unpredictable, and you are all still....here...she is holding out a slim hope.

Okami Yuki: ((well we lost our Totem to be...))

Singha [feb 14]: When Ang finishes her rite, the rains come down and heal the wounds of whomever was injured.

Okami Yuki:  how Silkie san? *looking at the now badger.. if she understand her, that is*

Singha [feb 14]: In addition to everyone being cleansed of all taint save for any permanent dots you might have.

Silkie: ~I don't know. Angelia? Can you bring him?~ (using the link, assuming it still works? So they can all hear and understand her.)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Ah Bing, shaking her head suddenly, her face determined. "Nuh-uh. This isn't over yet. We're not done until we leave a sentai. End of story..." She looks at Okami and Silkie. "Right?"

Singha [feb 14]: Karlos doesn't want to leave Malc's body, and falls into a deep exhasted sleep beside him.

Silkie: ~Right!~ *little round ears pointing at Reyna*

Okami Yuki: *looks to rayna, smiles a tad, nods, then thinks* The only Idea I can come up with is to knew the beads I gave you with a cord made of a hair out of each, Firesnake was in the trhone... maybe if we place the ring that would represtn us as a Sentai will make him come again? we should use fire.. he is made of fire too *shaking her head, she doens't know that much on spirits*

Okami Yuki: (knew=knit.. join))

Silkie: *Licks Ingvar's face, trying to wake him. They need mind. Doh! There goes Karlos. She waddles over and licks him too.*

Okami Yuki: *Looking at the others, sighs and murmurs* as long as three of us are still movable, we will move *lookign to Reyna and Silkie* toguether

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Okami. "Well, you just came up with anything better then I've got at the moment." She looks over at the throne. "You guys wanna help me look this puppy over, see if it's got anything new on it?" She starts walking over to it.

Singha [feb 14]: "Oh," Beryl adds, again as an afterthought. "Wood over Metal," The One Who Watches says. You must cause new growth over the silver to secure the land."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Okami. "Together. Exactly."

Okami Yuki: *Looks to the Dragon* new grouth *looking around* ther brambers are now all over *looking to Reyna* toguether Verinia san *as she moves to.. we as said recolet hair and start beabing the beads toguether*

Silkie: *She shifts up to her default Silkie form, and nods at Okami. She lost all her beads when she shifted the first time.*

Singha [feb 14]: ((Unfortunately....I don't see how this can go much further without INgvar-p))

 

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles at Okami. "Just Reyna, please. Or, if you truly have to, Reiruno-san. Varinia's my middle name."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*NODNOD*))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Since he's the one who's choices made the Snake fade))

Okami Yuki: ((dha! silkie!))((hum..... dunno?....))

Silkie: "The fruit left seeds. Maybe we need sunlight now?" Feeling her braids, hoping the bead Okami gave her is somehow magically still in her hair.

Okami Yuki: ((ghe?! damm.. so we do need him =( )) *she looks to Reyna, siles once and just sayis* Westerenrs names...*nodding faintly to her*

Singha [feb 14]: Reyna doesn't find much different about teh throne other than it's...well...glowing. But she does note that the dais is no longer obsidian, but is rose quartz.

Okami Yuki: ((so what do we do Singha? try alone or pause?))

Singha [feb 14]: Silkie finds in her Silkie form, the beads are still there.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She gives a faint grin. "Ahh, not just Westerner names. SPANISH Westerner names. We of the three names in regular conversation."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((So we pause again?))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Yeah, I think we'll have to pause, at least until Ingvar-p shows up and I can find out what to do with him))

Okami Yuki: *blinks to Reyna, that makes her smiles somewhat more, nodding* so Reiruno san will be *looking to Silkie* ((well I can join beads meanwhile =P))

Silkie: *Naked, since her clothes probably washed away. Wow, she still has beads. So she's not ~really~ naked.*

Singha [feb 14]: ((But i really need to grab some lunch anyway0)

Okami Yuki: ((me too... well food at least ;) but owww.. ok))

Silkie: ((Foooood..))

Okami Yuki: ((lol*sighs* kicks Ingvar.-p))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((This is the scene that never ENDS...yes, it goes on and on my friend...some people started playing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue playing it forever just because...This is the scene that never ends... *G* S'all good, SIngha. We can pause.))

Singha [feb 14]: ((alright guys, sorry for the delays and all. *hits pause* If peeps show up later we can always jump in and try to finish this thing))

Okami Yuki: ((*lol at Ravyn*))

Singha [feb 14]: ((Well, I can end it if you like?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Taking a shower, will BBL. Ping me if we re-start.))

Okami Yuki: ((*well ping me if we continue I am gonna go fetch food too))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((No, I'm not about ending it at all. I was just makin' with the funny.))

Silkie: ((Naa, would rather pause.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((It's like the gift that keeps on giving! *G*))

Okami Yuki: ((lets play it to the end! ^giggle* runs for food* ping me! =) ))

Okami Yuki: ((reporting =) ))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Before we get started, I'm very sorry for not being here earlier.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((We're baaaaaaack...))

Okami Yuki: (well now you'll get to be beatng up in group *ndnod *S*))

Okami Yuki: ((beated... ))

Silkie the Hungry: ((Returns))

Singha: ((alright, last I understood, Ang is in the process of doing the Rite of the Opened Sky. Karlos is passed out from exhaustion, Malcolm is dead. Ingvar is...coming out of his catatonia, and the rest of you were stringing beads?))

Silkie: ((sounds good))

Okami Yuki: ((at least Okami.. well out of ideas, joing the beads onto the circle as it was her firist idea.. thing))

Okami Yuki: think

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Reyna was inspecting the throne, but she would have moved to helping bead after finding it unchanged beyond the glow, yeah.))

Silkie: Okami> "You want to cut off one of my braids to string the beads?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He shakes his head.. blinking for a moment before rousing himself. He looks around the dais and gets to his feet.*

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Silkie, then murmurs* just one hair will do.. I though on one hair from each, to make it all of us

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She shrugs. "I've got plenty of hair myself. That actually may not be a bad..." She trails off as she sees Ingvar wake up. "Ingvar?"

Okami Yuki: *looks over at the man as Reyna speaks his name* are you fine?

Silkie: "Will that be strong enough to hold the beads?" *Glancing skyward every few moments to watch the dance between Sea and Thunder, as they make love.*

Okami Yuki: one hair will not... but all toguether will *a look to Silkie*

Silkie: *Carefully selects a long thick strand and plucks it for Okami.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She moves to the man, looking him over. "How're ya doin'?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks up at the clouds, that same haunted, almost forlorn look crosses his features before he looks around to the sentai members.* You.. *pale eyes continue to swivel.* It was all of you.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Shaken. *it seems an automatic response to Reyna and Okami.* This cannot be the end.

Okami Yuki: *and blinks tilting her head slighlty to regard Ingvar*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He shakes his head, clearing away the last of the fog.* Thank you.

Silkie: *Looks towards Ingvar as he... accuses? them?* "We're TRYING Ingvar."

Singha: The rain continues to fall, and Ang finishes her ritual. Those who have been injured or tainted, find the rain washes away their injuries and their taint.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Noticing their braiding, one hand rises to his forearm to pry out the bead. His hand shakes slightly, but his voice is steady.*

Okami Yuki: *She reaches to touch Silkie faint, and shake her head, looking from Ingvar to what she was doing and back* we are knitting the beads toguether to represent our Circle, our Sentai, it might help

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods, smiling a bit as she pats him on the shoulder. "Good. You're finally starting to figure it out." Said with no sense of superiority, just with sincerity and a touch of her infamous humor.

Silkie: *Shivers a little as a gust of wind catches her, giving her goosebumps.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks toward Silkie.* You misunderstand. All of you got me out of a very bad place. Thank you.

Okami Yuki: *and she lifts her head some, as the rain pourts away, smiling fantly, ricing a thanks to both Spirits for their blessing*

Silkie: *Blinks. Oh. Reaches over and plucks a hair from Ingvar's head, and gives it to Reyna.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to Reyna, accepting completely both the statement and whatever tone it is delivered in.*Let us hope not too late, yes? *He moves over to Okami with his bead.*

Okami Yuki: *And back to look to Ingvar, shaking her head faintly, not sure to know what he is speaking of, but she looks to Reyna, tilting her head* I think.. I must mirror his words?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "You're welcome, Ingvar." And she steps forward, giving the man a hug. Seems she's in a hugging mood, today. "You're a good kid. Just a little slow on the uptake." She chuckles.

Okami Yuki: *and takes the bead, nodding her head to the man, to joing it with the rest*

Silkie: "We need Malcolm's bead too, don't we?" Looking sadly at his corpse.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Malcolm, her humor fading, and nods. "His is...I think Angelia has it. Or someone. It came out when he...went under."

Okami Yuki: *she looks the man's way, saying* he will be fine *certain, it has to be, and nods* but his Caponelli san or Reinuro san had it ((think ti was P))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He for once is not sensative to personal space, and pats Reyna's hand, almost distracted as he passes Okami his bead, looking up to the sky.*Firesnake.. is he gone?

Singha: ((Ang has Malcolm's bead, and Karlos' since they were left on the dais when FS sent them to Trevor))

Silkie: *She walks over and plucks a hair from his head and delivers that to Okami as well.

Okami Yuki: He is *to ingvar* we hope to bring him forth again

Okami Yuki: *keeps beading as materials are passed onto her, conforming the Circle*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She walks over, adding her bead to the rest, and nods her head Ingvar's way. "He's not here, no. We just need to fix that. Which is what we're working on. Come help...please."

Silkie: *Then works her own blue bead free of her hair and hands it over.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to this.* What exactly do we need to do? *He glances around, noticing Malcom..* where is Karlos?

Singha: Whoever touches Anwyl's (Malcolm) or Faris' (Karlos) beads senses that they were sent away because they had passed the test of remaining true to their beliefs and pledges even in the face of pressure from the others, and were brave enough to face FS's wrath in order to do the right thing, the Harmonious thing.

Okami Yuki: *signals the unconsious man, as she says* The only thing we have come with is to bead the Circle that will represent us and present it again to the Throne, as it is were he resided? Firesnake

Singha: ((Karlos is passed out beside Malcolm, having spent all WP and quite a bit of GN, plus almost suffocated after having been buried alive))

Okami Yuki: ((jejejej they were right! *S*)) *and when they, if are passed onto her, she blinks and frowns, nodding once to herself, and closing her eyes, even if she goes on with it*

Singha: ((Ang, too, is rather exhausted after her ritual. She sits beside Karlos, and watches the others work, a bittersweet smile on her lips))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Checks Karlos' pulse briefly, then moves to help with the braiding.. not exactly his strong suit, but in whichever way he can.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes the beads from Ang and passes them over, pursing her lips as she gets the sensation. She smiles the duo's way, and begins braiding away.

Silkie: Silkie is looking a bit wrung out herself. She doesn't possess quite the stamina of the shifters, yet there she stands, naked against the storm, bright eyes turned skyward.

Singha: The butterfly from the hole where Malc and Karlos were exhumed flies up and settles on the white Rose.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Once again nude, and once again not seeming to care much one way or the other, it does in short order look as though the statement "any fool can braid" does appear to be true.*

Singha: Beryl watches them all, settling down onto the briars as they grow under her hover position. Ah Bing Shen watches them work, curious.

Okami Yuki: ((jejej untrue!! when you ar eeading with small brainds anyway *giggles*)) *keeps braiding, smilling softly as they are all on it, one way or another*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances toward the dragon, then his eyes flick questioningly to Silkie- but he keeps braiding.*

Okami Yuki: *And once it is done, she looks to the others* who should put it on the Trhone? ((mean if they are done *eyes the singha*))

Silkie: *She gives the dragon a curious look and walks towards it, albeit cautiously.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Okami. "All of us, ideally...all of us who can, anyway."

Silkie: *Glances back at Okami, then at the others. All of us? Or Ingvar as our leader, representing all of us?"

Okami Yuki: *she thiks it then nods, as she says* then I will carry Malcolm, Urgahaldt san may carry Karlos and yourself Angelia, so we all do it... ?

Okami Yuki: or as Silkie san just stated

Ingvar Urgahaldt: I will. He will need proof, I would think, that I have figured things out. *He nods, holding out a hand for the finished piece.*As it was I who made him go in the first place.

Singha: It's a very 'cute' dragon, with purple batwings and an over all greenish complexion. Potbellied, looking very much like Pete's Dragon

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "Sounds like a plan to me..."

Silkie: *Turns back towards the throne, moving up beside Okami for a look at the delicate beaded ring she's made.*

Okami Yuki: *she casts Ingvar a rather curious look as he states that, not having realised that herlse, but nods, after casting a look to Silkie and Reyna, letting go of the part she had worked ((or if it was left onto her, placing it on ingvars hand..or moving to place it with whom evere else is working on it *G*))

Silkie: *Give Ing a puzzled look.* "How did you do that?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: 8,9,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She helps hand the ring over to Ingvar.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He accepts the piece carefully, noticing the differences between each section. Okami's close hand, his own, tight, but hardly precision craftsmanship, nodding slightly.. the point being it was all of them together.. he settles into the right frame of mind.*

Okami Yuki: *she smiles faintly to ingvar, and awaits, casting Silkie a small look and back to the man*

Silkie: *Pats Okami's arm, glad she's alive. She was looking pretty squished a while ago.*

Okami Yuki: *and smiles softly to Silkie again, seems she needs to get used to this constant closeness with her companions, regarding ingvar and Reyan again*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She stands near Ingvar, arms crossed, at his side. Ready to provide him support, should he need it at all.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods slightly, looking to the others.* A rite of Contrition would be appropriate. I have to make myself clean before the spirits, before I attempt to represent you as a leader. None of you have done anything wrong.

Okami Yuki: *she shakes her head* I believe in a way or another we did *glancing to Karlos and Malcolm* I was confused but I should stayed as such, toguether, a Ring *looking back to Ingvar* we are one, we are with you

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She purses her lips. "I wouldn't go that far. We've all got things to apologize for...otherwise, we would have been in the hole with Karlos and Malc."

Okami Yuki: ((such=as I said))

Silkie: *Looks at the others. She doesn't know any contrition rites.*

Silkie: *Blinks at Reyna.* "What?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Silkie. "I think Karlos and Malc passed the test, Silkie. They had the courage to stand up to Firesnake, and remain true to what they believed in." She shrugs. "I didn't...I know that."

Okami Yuki: *glancing at the Dragon once more.... as IT does not encarnate the efigie of dragon she is used to, and back to the others*

Okami Yuki: *nodding to Reyna, and looking again to Silkie* she is right Silkie san

Silkie: "What does that have to do with being buried? Malcolm is dead and Karlos almost suffocated."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks between Reyna and Okami.* When I was..*tilts his head slightly, as though to loosen his neck.* there.. you reached out to help me. Even in THrall, I was unable to see what was really happening and brushed aside this spirit of sentai in order to grasp attention and surcease selfishly. I brushed aside both our totem and your mingled companionship in one swoop. This will only take a moment.

Okami Yuki: *and she blinks, looking to Ingvar again and merely nods to him, that one bit she can understand of how he is feeling*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Ingvar and nods, moving back half a step and looking to Silkie. "And perhaps if we'd been quicker about it, that wouldn't have happened."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He passes the braided ring back to Okami

Silkie: *Feels a little guilty over Malcolm's loss. Maybe if she were stronger, bigger, she could have dug faster. She tried her hardest. Licks her lips and stares at Malcolm's corpse, her tears lost to the rain.*

Okami Yuki: *takes it, with a slight head bow, holding it, untill he is able to deliver it*

Silkie: "I'm sorry," she whispers.

Okami Yuki: *blinks, looking to the girl, and reaches to touch her arm so faintly*

Silkie: *She can't help but think about Tern. Why has Mother given her such a big task, when she's such a small fish?*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He takes a small gold pendant from around his neck, stepping up toward the throne to place it on the ground on front of it. As he rises, he kisses the arm of the diamond throne solemnly.*

Silkie: *Her eyes flicker to Okami, then she turns to watch Ingvar.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She stands there again, waiting, watching.

Okami Yuki: *smiles reasuringly to Silkie and regards Invgvar again, stepping close to Reyna*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Edit- green jade pendant.)) *Where he lacks in spiritual strength, he reinforces it from the seat of his will.. effort given to show sincerity.*

Silkie: *Sits down on the cold quartz dias and rests a hand on Malcolm's chest, feeling small and cold beneath the awesome display of Sea and Thunder.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: 5,4,

Ingvar Urgahaldt: I struck away the hand that you held out. If you would hold it again, I will take it with pride.. *a sound rumbles out, then shifts to a keening whine that murmurs through the air around the throne. East meets west in a low bow, posture that of a subservient person.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Edit- mod pride to clarity))

Singha: 2,4,4,4,6,9,6,10,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles, hearing his words. He really is learning.

Singha: A brilliant flash erupts out of the throne, steam rising at the halo of flame surrounding the large cobra that rears up out of the diamond.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks up at Firesnake. "Welcome back, boss," she murmurs under her breath.

Singha: That tongue of flame licks out and drives itself into Ingvar's bare chest.

Okami Yuki: *she makes a head bow to aknowledge the Serpet back, still listening, and regarding what is going on*

Silkie: "I'm sorry I failed you Malcolm," brushing his cheek, then glancing towards Ingvar.

Singha: ((Roll WP Ing)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: 7,10,6,7,9,10,

Okami Yuki: ((wow))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((*blinks* hot dayum!))

Silkie: ... and Firesnake.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Now THAT'S a WP roll!!))

Silkie: ((Go Ingy!))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He makes no move to run or dodge.*

Okami Yuki: *does tenses as that happens, her eyes on the scene*

Singha: Ingvar feels an excrutiating pain, more intense than he's every felt before (never having had the pleasure of Silkie licking the permanant taint out of him, like some people have had) but manages to stand his ground as the flame moves through him, and splits into six smaller flames, each 'ray' seperating out and driving itself into each of the potential 'sentai' mates.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She jumps as tongue meets chest, suprising by the suddenness of the motion.

Okami Yuki: *she'll try not to flitch, even if it is supricing*

Singha: As each of them is hit by the flame, they each find their purpose and duties in the sentai become quite clear. They are gifted with the knowledge of the Mandates and of the Wheel of AGes (Read the appropriate pages in Hengeyokai, I'm not posting it here)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He grits his teeth, a wierd sound slipping out from between them.. it isn't a grunt exactly, nor a growl or whine, but includes elements of each.. he keeps on his feet though.*

Silkie: *Her eyes widen as the ray of fire races towards her, and it's all she can do to hold her ground. Only her trust in FS keeping her steady.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's pretty close to Ingvar, so doesn't have time to react before Mandates and Wheels are imprinting away.

Singha: They also know that Ingvar is shouldering the pain for them, his will absorbing the anguish of the transformation, so that they can grow unhindered into their fully formed "Body"

Okami Yuki: *she'll rather blink, her head moving slighlty as she goes again through all that has beein imprinted in her since she has memory*

Silkie: *Glad Ingvar is doing that for them, not being very brave about such things, herself.*

Singha: And they each feel the gifts that Simba held of teh Body returning to them, also transformed.

Okami Yuki: ((what if we never gave a gift?))

Okami Yuki: *though she'll look to Ingvar, then to Firesnake, frowning faintly, knowing not acepting the gift Ingvar is doing will be agaist his Honor, so tightens slightly and bows her heads somewhat*

Singha: ((These gifts were given by the prior sentai, they are being 'reincarnated' in you guys in your current form))

Okami Yuki: ((knowing that not))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Her eyes are wide open, the knowledge sifting through her brain, looking to Ingvar and managing to smile to him.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He tries to force muscles locked in pain to allow his neck to turn slightly.. trying to catch a glimpse of Karlos and Malcom to see if they are included as knowledge floods his mind.*

Okami Yuki: ((*nods* snugs*))

Singha: ((and everybody needs to tell me how many Totem points they're investing, and I'll get back to you on the gifts, since hunny's home and i gotta jet out to the flicks right now))

Okami Yuki: ((mhe!!! owww... will this still go on? and well I have two dots on background to give... and I can give a bit of XP as I have it, if that counts))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I have, like, 10 XP I can give to Totem points))

Silkie: *Gobbles up the new information like it was chocolate. Searching for what they need to know to make challenge over Trevor's punishment.*

Singha: ((Consider yourself a sentai. Congratulations. You will all be escorted back to Rose Island by Ah Bing Shen, and grudgingly acknowledged as an official sentai. Your first task, as given to you by the court, is to secure Ellis Island for the Court.))

Silkie: ((Damnit, I just updated Silkie and spent ALL her XP! I'll have to modify that to snatch back some points for Totem.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((I ~think~ I have 3 left, counting from the time I marked the total I gave in that mail up to present and including this scene.))

Singha: ((And if you want to debate what the best way to challenge over TRev's punishment, then ga'head and do that. Let me know what you decide and we can summarize that bit and fast forward y'all to nowadays)))

Okami Yuki: ((hum.. I think I can in total.... six XP since playing Okami as counting she is new =P and just has the FEb points and some of MArch and the given for actions))

Singha: ((But I need to jet for now. Have a good one and thanks for the RP))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Yeah, screw that. I'll just do what Silkie-p's doing and resubmit the email.))

: ((And whoever's sticking around please log this if you're going to discuss soemthing i need to know about))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Thank you, Singha. You were a god of ST'ing today.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Thanks for the scene, and thanks for pausing for my lazy ass folks.*G*))

Okami Yuki: ((thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!))

: ((Bye all ttyl))

Okami Yuki: ((phone call, beeing slow...))

Silkie: ((Good night!))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((We gonna discuss this IC, or OOC?))

Okami Yuki: ((you tell us... I can stay))

Silkie: I need to go for a bit. Will BBS.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Little of both? I'd like to pre empt it with some ooc.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I'm staying...and whether it's In Char or Out of Char, I'm cool either way.))

Okami Yuki: uh?? how so?))

Okami Yuki: ((ok, sorry phone call distracted me a lot... so. we are discussing how to challenge?*S* ))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Ingvar made a politics roll, and Sing was kind enough to tell me the court sort of has us by the balls in terms of whether or not the punishment stands. That having been said, I'm ready for IC whenever you guys are. Ing has an idea.))

Okami Yuki: ((*G* Well Okami knows that.. she too has told... and ONLY if they are all alone will she say, that what they need to do first is to CLEANSE!!! cause Uncle can't act as he would wish to untill he has cleansed all within.... other wise... well .... is basically a I challenge you and get ready for an Elder to kick your ass out))

Okami Yuki: ((As in Uncle is now Cleansed, but.... as he doens't know whom else is.. he needs to keep acting as if he wasn't))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Ready when y'all are.))

Okami Yuki: ((you tell me =) and I do it icly =P though WHERE are we gonna discuss this? mean where our chars will be?))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Rather than do anything so droll as to collapse, the young Lord decides to sit. Now. Right in front of the throne he turns and crosses his legs. A nearly transparent attempt to save face by chosing to sit rather than falling over after the rush of pain and information.*

Okami Yuki: *She'll wait, in place, looking to the rest, the wave of informatin settling in, her eys on Ingvar so when he looks at her, she bows her head, no touch, not words, letting him, save face by merely aknowledging him actions with that gesture*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She drops to a comfortable crouch, looking around, from sentaimate to sentaimate.

Okami Yuki: *she'll then move to check is Malc is back yet, frown lightly and come back, regaring the her now Family too*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *To make it clear, sitting on ground, not the throne*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Finally, she breaks the silence. "Okay, Mission the First accomplished. Now, what about Adam? We need to get him out...the Court's full of crap regarding his punishment."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He returns Okami's slight nod, then looks to see.. yes.. no one is crispy.. is he crispy? He discreetly swipes a hand across his arm, then leg.. apparently not..* I think it would not be impertinent to gather ourselves here before limping our way toward the Elders.

Okami Yuki: *and she looks to Reyna* Adam?

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks toward Reyna* Indeed. However Dream and I agreed to abide by the punishment. I do not think it would go well in our mission to change the court if we appeared right off to have that goal in mind.

Okami Yuki: ((BTW, whos is logging for Singha?)) ((And Ingvar it was one of her scarse full head bows ;) )) She nods toIngvar's word* I hope we have time

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Adam. Trevor. One-Who-Watches. Too-Damn-Many-Names." She shrugs. "Him." Her humor is obviously present, having returned once more, but there is an underlying tension in her voice, a sense of urgency about this.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I'm logging.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((I don't have word pad program one on this antique, or I would))

Okami Yuki: *she nods to Reyna, frowning somewhat, then sighs* He has been speaking with Uncle... I know Uncle started respecting him out of the Sacrifes he was wiling to make. I am not certain how we can get him out *looking to Ingvar* more with his words

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Point made, Ingvar. However, it's not like the Courts don't know that we've got that goal in mind anyway. They were pretty aware of it before we came here."

Okami Yuki: ((oki, making sure so I could do it if noone was *hugs the Ravyn*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I'm the unofficial logger, usually, since I do it for my own purposes most of the time, anyway.))

Okami Yuki: ((ahhh *nods*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods, acknowledging the wisdom of Reyna's words.* Then I would think, at least until we have cleansed the court- that we have two options. Either using their urge toward violence to challenge openly for rescinding the punishment, or to allow them to indulge in vanity by offering ourselves to share in it to "show our own regret for assisting him"

Okami Yuki: *shakes her heaD* that will not take Trevor out, but that will certainly will give them a stronger hold on us *looking to Ingvar*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods at that. "The problem is, if we lose, and we probably will, since pre-cleansing the deck will be stacked against us, then we have no recourse, I'm sure. And I don't see what you're getting at with the second option."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Added as an afterthought almost..but meant.* I...*cants an eyebrow* do not know how well I would take being buried alive for a couple of days.. but perhaps better than he would take it for seventeen.

Okami Yuki: *she looks to Ingvar* if we show regert they will have to cause to shorten his sentece. If we ask to be inposed upon us to shorten his, they will only be more....wary of us *you, she shakes her head faitnly* I am not sure how they'll take me now... though I have tried to make sure to stay clear to their eyes

Okami Yuki: ^softly* twenty

Ingvar Urgahaldt: There is one punishment. *He looks between the two of them.* It is to be buried alive for seventeen days. If we, out of contrition, offered to bear this burden with him by each taking a section of it upon ourselves.. Perhaps the overall result will be less. *He doesn't exactly seem comfortable at the prospect.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Mod to twenty days))

Okami Yuki: *Nods to Ingvar, considering* It might work, though We need to think it right how to make them actually consider it and do it as we wish.... I have the feeling they will only take us in and keep his as it is

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks at Okami as she speaks.*

Okami Yuki: ((*S* ))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to that. "I'm willing to share in with his punishment. Long as it gets him out quicker."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks at Reyna for a while before speaking further.* I am going to ask you an impertinent question. *He cants an eyebrow, almost as though asking for permission.*

Okami Yuki: *she looks from one to the other a moment*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Ask away, Ingvar."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods, grunting softly.* Is your personal association with the man clouding your judgement? What I mean is, while these are both clear and viable options for getting him out before his punishment ends, does that serve the purposes of this sentai?

Okami Yuki: *she frowns at hearing those words, considering*

Okami Yuki: (herself.. add there ))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods, as if she expected the question. "They quite possibly are, I won't say otherwise. But I know this, Ingvar. I'd do the same thing for you, or Okami, or Silkie...Angelia, Karlos...if you all were down there. Because he's down there unjustly. And despite the fact that I'd happily belly-flop right into Hell for Adam, that doesn't bely the fact that this is another example of the Courts's corruption, and our job is to fix that corruption."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: (('They' being her feelings for Trevor, of course. Don't know if that was clear.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: I am going to present an arguement that I do not precisely feel- because I as well have a regard for the man, though we have known each other only briefly. My arguement is this- it is indeed our duty to cleanse the court of corruption- but by hacking it off at the root, not taking care of the branches. I can see several reasons how Adam remaining in the ground could aid us...indeed. *He watches the woman closely, as though searching for the right words.* A couple reasons why he deserves it. But I see nothing advantageous for our group or our goal by trying to challenge this punishment.

Okami Yuki: ((sory paretns arrived with a SKIRT FOR ME!! *Dances happily*))

Okami Yuki: *she merely sighs, shaking her head* I must admit.. I ahve heard some.... terrible actions on his part from his own lips... I am confused on his regard to be honest, even if I still know he is doing the right thing now

Silkie: *Sitting beside Malcolm's corpse, listening to all this.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She purses her lips, biting back a response that tries to come out unbidden. "Ingvar, I know you mean well. Otherwise, I'd be in head-biting-off mode right now. But, while I can potentially agree with certain aspects of what you say, I don't think you realize HOW torturous this is for him. He may not come out of it intact, or even remotely functional. Or even alive."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Yay, Okami!! *S*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He shrugs slightly* Call it respect then. *He glances up at Okami.* Kin who are capable of performing to the same degree as he are rare.

Okami Yuki: ((is great and is white ans is GORGEOUS!!!)))

Okami Yuki: *nods to ingvar, closing her eyes a moment, then opening them* perfomring that carries a heavy weight of past.... I am wiling to help him, and to endure this you are proposing. BUt still I need to tell of my uncertainy, and that this might only bring punishment on us and not change a thing for him

Silkie: "I think if we wish to have his sentence reconsidered, we should challenge the courts for corruption, not for Trevor. We need to cleanse those who are closest to power. THEN they may consider our words seriously."

Okami Yuki: *then though she frowns as if something had JUST fell in place.. kin...*

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Silkie* you, from all people have seen how futile that has been Silkie san... I have seen your efforts since I arrived here

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to Reyna's words, tone still even.* I understand. As I said- I am not opposed to helping him, but I am opposed to compromising an advantage we could potentially use to free him. LEt us discuss another avenue. An hour ago I was in a hole deeper and darker than any I could ever imagine. A place I do not think your people have the burden of wrestling with- at least not as we do. If you were able to reach me...*a pause* in that place.. perhaps we may reach him in what it little more than a hole in the ground.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Groovy Okami.*G*))

Okami Yuki: *looking around then back to them* Uncle is willing to have the whole Dragons cleansed, he though wishes to retain Face *lookign to each* as I believe anyone who loves their people will wish to

Silkie: "We can't give up, Okami-san. And they agreed to be cleansed. We should call them on it. If we claim part of Trevor's punishment for following him, we open the doors to their claiming we should be punished for that anyway."

Okami Yuki: *and her eyes go to Ingvar again*

Okami Yuki: *shakes her head to Silkie* they are blind to their own corruption Silkie san...

Silkie: "So we call them on it politely."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He holds up his hands* One thing at a time- the Cleansing will be another, and frankly, far larger issue. One we will deal with after leaving the elders from being acknowledged a sentai. *He lowers his hands.* This we need to come to censensus on now. Because a scene like the one when we came in will not be tolerated.. should not be by any of us.

Okami Yuki: *grins to Silkie* we must do it, withouth they realising it is done... is how I could do it

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Silkie. "Agreed. As much as I'm willing to lay by our man, I think we might accomplish more by getting this cleansing done ASAP." She looks to Ingvar. "And Ingvar, I know exactly where you've been. While no Nuwisha has ever known the Thrall of Worm, I got a pretty good taste of it, not long ago. So I do unserstand." She smiles a little. "Maybe you do have a point. We can reach him, keep him sane, or rather, from going more insane, and meanwhile, we try to get the Courts cleansed."

Okami Yuki: *and nods to Ingvar, he is right on his words*

Okami Yuki: That might be a good idea *looking from Reyna to Ingvar*

Silkie: Okami> "Maybe your Uncle will help us. If we're all buried, the corrupt can run rampant. And I'm... scared to be buried." Blinking at the others.

Silkie: "Maybe we could send Trevor a spirit to hold his mind strong?"

Okami Yuki: *looking to Silkie* I must be carefull of when to speak with him. And he can not do so openly I believe... and we must keep a secret he has been cleansed *looking to all*

Silkie: Okami> "Tell him not to try the bear meat."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to him.* In terms of keeping him sane.... *His attention settles back on Reyna pointedly.*....ish. I believe you and Angelia should handle this part directly- the rest of us will assist you as needed, but the two of you seem to understand him the most- and when isolated, there is nothing one wants more than the companionship of those who know him.

Okami Yuki: *she nods sadly* I am not sure if he can if he wishes to keep faking... but he... seems changed on what he thinks of this Banquetes

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Him- Ryna.))

Okami Yuki: *and looks back to ingvar* if we can do somewhat of a Dream Speak with him, maybe, just maybe we could bring his Mind to a place of peace...

Okami Yuki: and not just to keep him company

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "We'll cover that part, no problem."

Silkie: "Maybe he shouldn't fake it."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He gestures to Okami.* Thank you. Something like this would be more appropriate, and would keep the facade of tractability intact that we may get closer to the Elders.

Okami Yuki: *she nods to Ingvar* I just hope we can complete this soon

Okami Yuki: *and looks to Silkie, smiling softly* the river must pass through mudy waters to clean the bed of the lake... if it has enough force behind it, it will suceed ... nothing is like seem sSilkie san, and somet hings are only gain through mirrors

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Then we are decided? *He looks to each of them.* We will remain passive before the elders in terms of..*He begins to pick from the names, and just says* The buried individual?

Okami Yuki: *she breaths in, nodding* I do hope is a good choise.

Silkie: "Then how do we cleanse them? If we could trap them alone one by one somehow..."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: We plan for clensing later. Not now.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I prefer the term 'sneaky,' but yeah, if this plan works, I'm agreed."

Silkie: "Then we just go back and ... mingle with the courts?"

Okami Yuki: *looks to Silkie, nods at Ingvar words that is going to be more hard then what that*

Okami Yuki: *smiles to Silkie* I believe it is going to be more complicated then.. mingle Silkie san... you 'still' remind Westerners.. you will have to EArhn your way in ... even if there wasn't corruption present

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Wait...why not now?" She looks at Ingvar. "Cleansing should be the first thing on our agenda. I mean, yeah, okay, Ellis Island, sure. But there's no reason we can get started on the Cleansing process now, right?"

Silkie: "Isn't cleansing the courts WHY we became a sentai? So the power the courts weild is used properly? That should be our primary focus."

Silkie: "I'm not a Westerner."

Okami Yuki: *she looks to both* watanabe san and Uncle are alright... but Fang San and ((The lady name)) san.... ^*frowns, thinking* Fang san will be the hard one

Okami Yuki: *and smiles to Silkie* in the eyes of my People you mostly are Silkie san... until proven otherwise

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He cants an eyebrow, looking around at them.* If you prefer now, start sharing ideas.

Silkie: "Maybe we should target the woman first, and then try to get her to help us get Fang cleansed."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances at Reyna to answer her question.* I feel the cleansing process will take a little longer than we would like. Though having them all together is a tempting target, we should not grow over hasty. I am, however, open to hearing ideas.

Silkie: "Jimmy Trahn didn't consider me a Westerner. He said his people have great respect for Sea."

Okami Yuki: *shakes head, grinning* Fang san could merely shift and crush us under his weight *smlies sadly, then looks to ingvar* Remember I propose on that Meeting with Caponelly san? we could call on a work toguether of anihilitain that .. dcotor... we should call for a cleaning, general, on our part we will call Caponelli san, and on the Courts part Ah Bing Shen san... because she is neutral *slight smile*

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Silkie, nods* but does Trahn san trusts you now?

Silkie: "Cleansing can take time, and there is usually a great deal of screaming involved. I'm not sure trying cleanse more than one of them at a time is a good idea. Especially if they see what it's like. Even Trevor, knowing it needed to be done, tried to escape me."

Silkie: "No. I tried to cleanse him, and he pulled a gun on me before I could finish. He's afraid of me now. He swore he would kill me if he ever saw me again."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Glances toward Silkie as she speaks. tried to escape... interesting wording.*

Okami Yuki: *nods to Silkie, sighing softly* So you are not on our side now *lookign to her* I do ment to insult, only state what you will encounter

Silkie: "Trahn has people we could use. If we trapped him, and someone held him, I could finish his cleansing. Then his people might help us."

Okami Yuki: *shakes head, grinning* Fang san could merely shift and crush us under his weight *smlies sadly, then looks to ingvar* Remember I propose on that Meeting with Caponelly san? we could call on a work toguether of anihilitain that .. dcotor... we should call for a cleaning, general, on our part we will call Caponelli san, and on the Courts part Ah Bing Shen san... because she is neutral *slight smile*

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Silkie, nods* but does Trahn san trusts you now?

Silkie: "Cleansing can take time, and there is usually a great deal of screaming involved. I'm not sure trying cleanse more than one of them at a time is a good idea. Especially if they see what it's like. Even Trevor, knowing it needed to be done, tried to escape me."

Silkie: "No. I tried to cleanse him, and he pulled a gun on me before I could finish. He's afraid of me now. He swore he would kill me if he ever saw me again."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Glances toward Silkie as she speaks. tried to escape... interesting wording.*

Okami Yuki: *nods to Silkie, sighing softly* So you are not on our side now *lookign to her* I do ment to insult, only state what you will encounter

Silkie: "Trahn has people we could use. If we trapped him, and someone held him, I could finish his cleansing. Then his people might help us."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks to Reyna again.* I was not, perhaps, clear. WHen I said Dragons later, I meant later as in later ~today~

Okami Yuki: *thinks on Silkies words a moment, for a long moment, then smiles, lookign to Ingvar* a Waterfall begins with one drop... starting with the smallest of people might help... I could talk it with Uncle to cover it up

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods* I have wanted to start with Trahn. He is more mobile than other members of the court and could co- ordinate additional captures.. figuratively speaking of course.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "There's ways to cleanse that don't involve licking...the Rite itself. Would that be as painful and terrifying to the subjects as Silkie's verison is?"

Silkie: "If Uncle could get one of them alone..."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He shakes his head.* The way in which my tribe is taught this rite, it is terrifying to the Enemy, rather than subject.

Okami Yuki: *looks to Reyna* I do not know.. I do not know the Rite...*and then to ingvar* we could try that *and then to Silkie* I can not say yes. I must speak with him to know

Okami Yuki: *and glances to ingvar*

Silkie: "What if we proposed a group cleansing, perhaps by Ah Bing-san, as a show of unity between the courts and our new sentai, and we stood with them and were also cleansed?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Something occurs to her, and she falls quiet, contemplating. Her eyes flick over to Malcolm and Karlos.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks back to Silkie.* This idea is a good one. It would be a loss of face to refuse to be cleansed...

Silkie: "Present it as a setting aside of past differences?"

Okami Yuki: May be... that was part of what I proposed Silkie san... Uncle said he'll consider it *and then looks to Reyna*

Silkie: "A show of goodwill by all involved. A public display?"

Okami Yuki: *looking then from Ingvar to Silkie*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks toward Reyna again.. when she's quiet, the results are either very good, or rather unsettling...*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Yeah, them coyotes are like kender that way, Ing. *G*)) "I think we're on the wrong track already." Only after saying that do her eyes leave the duo, back toward the three.

Silkie: "Since both sides have accused the other of being corrupt, it would be viewed by the masses as a very good thing. We should be able to get support for that don't you think, Okami-chan?"

Okami Yuki: *she tilts her heaD* do speak more, please

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((*L* SSSSshhhhhh! People will know we play D&D! *To all* Ignore the ST.. he was coughing.))

Okami Yuki: *a glance to Silkie* I am not certain Silkie san

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Why do you say so?

Okami Yuki: ((*lomafo!* kenders are neat! *^hides*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*Coughkenderrulecough*)) She seems perfectly calm and relaxed as she looks them over. "Does everyone agree that this whole thing was, at least in portion, a test from Firesnake? And that the point was for us to learn not just how to work together, but for other reasons as well?"

Silkie: Looks at Reyna.

Silkie: *Nods.*

Okami Yuki: *nods slowly to Reyna* seek Harmony.. and stand true

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He considers for a moment, thurough most of the time, then responds.* Yes.

Silkie: "Ingvar?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods, giving a small lopsided grin Okami's way. "Well put, hon. And, can you, having touched Karlos and Malcolm's beads, agree with me that you felt something that indicated they succeeded at something where we had failed?" She looks to Ingvar, hoping his hands passed over their beads as well. "And you, too?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances at Silkie so as not to interrupt Reyna.*

Okami Yuki: *she nods* I do

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances at the circle of beads and shakes his head.* I did not feel it, but I do not believe that I touched them.

Silkie: "I didn't touch their beads."

Okami Yuki: *offers the circle of beaded beads to ingvar*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He touches the appropriate colors, feeling for something.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks to Okami...she doesn't want to make her own point completely. She wants them to buy in. "Where did you feel that they succeeded, Okami? What did they do that we didn't, that Firesnake felt they had passed?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((In case y'all need a reminder...Singha: Whoever touches Anwyl's (Malcolm) or Faris' (Karlos) beads senses that they were sent away because they had passed the test of remaining true to their beliefs and pledges even in the face of pressure from the others, and were brave enough to face FS's wrath in order to do the right thing, the Harmonious thing.))

Okami Yuki: *she considers Reyna words for a moment* Malcoml sam is a warrior, he stood for what he believed even if that angered the Totem. Karlos san, followed his heart to his beloved, even if that set him agaist us and our Totem. They stud right. ... I can not speak of what you feel as your error... I am a Hand, a Fist I should have fought for them, instead of claim their wrongs, I said a Circle, no bumps.. I became a bump

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "I'm not looking at our failures at the moment...I'm looking at their successes. More constructive. But yes, you're right on with what I felt." She looks at Ingvar, to see if he senses it.

Okami Yuki: *only nods again, looking to ingvar*

Silkie: *Looks curiously at Ingvar, and walks over to feel the beads he's holding too.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: THen.. *He passes the circlet back.* Explain further, please...

Ingvar Urgahaldt: We are not acting in harmony?

Silkie: "All rivers lead to sea. They may have been right, but Malcolm is dead. Perhaps they could have taken another river."

Okami Yuki: *she looks to Silkie* Malcolm will come back

Okami Yuki: ((Malcolm san))

Okami Yuki: ((*idly ponders why dogs have that crasy obsecion with licking your feet*))

Silkie: "He will?" Hope in her tone.

Okami Yuki: *a nod to Silkie, before she breaths in* he has been giftedn by Ritual with Nine lives. He offerend one for me. He will come back *her tone even stating the fact that she will make sure, somehow*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes a deep breath. "So, if we trust our totem's wisdom, as I do, and heed this wisdom, how can we not remain true, and stand up for what we believe is right? We're acting in harmony, Ingvar, but we're not doing the right thing. We're bowing in the face of the pressure of the court regarding Trevor." She sighs. "I know you're going to think this is personal, and it is. But it is more then that, too. If we kneel to their unjust decisions now, it's going to be a lot harder to stand back up later. This is our first test as a sentai. How we react now--stand up to them or bow to their demands--will shape how they feel about us in the future. Bowing won't mean their respect...it will mean, in their unclean states, that they can force us to do whatever they want."

Silkie: *Grins at Reyna.* "Then we challenge them! As a sentai, we're allowed."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles briefly to Silkie, and turns to watch Ingvar, 'cause he's the one that needs convincing, she knows. "It's not even about whether we succeed. It's that we try."

Okami Yuki: *she frowns, considering that, muling it over her head*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: I disagree with you.. very much. We are bowing to nothing and to no one. We are simply chosing a route that will carry us into the flank of an oppoent rather than directly head on. It is simple strategy. Frankly until they are cleansed, we are not dealing with elders. We are dealing with minions of the Wyrm. Very powerful ones, for which an other than standard strategy is required. If I am incorrect, then that is that- but I can only relate that which seems wisest to ~me~.

Okami Yuki: *thinking, smiles starting slwly* if Reyna is right we can clai to believe Trevor's san trial unjust... call that the Mother gifted us with Insight, and call onto a Theurge, Ah Bing shen san, to set a test, or any other 'Neutral? theurge... so check who is tainted or not... it will serve both purposed... set a Cleansing and free Trevor

Silkie: "We DEMAND a cleansing immediately. THEN challenge the punishment?"

Okami Yuki: No Silkie san, we need to think thorugh things

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "We're giving up small losses for larger gains. I've seen enough war movies that I understand the concept. But if that were acceptable to Firesnake, I would have been down there in that earth with Malcolm and Karlos, Ingvar, because that's what I was trying to do. And I don't think we should do it again."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He points at Silkie* Sit. Reyna is trying to tell me something.

Okami Yuki: ând sighs* maybe we should wait for the other Sentai members to be in a situation to give imput *glancing to Karlos and Malcolm*

Silkie: "One of the reasons we came to make the sentai even though Trevor was in the ground was so we COULD challenge his punishment."

Silkie: *Sits but doesn't shut up.* "We have to do SOMEthing."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Allow me to put it in different terms.*He seems rather tired.* What you propose is that we leave this place, give up what advantage we may scrape together in terms of suprising them later in favor of challenging them directly. Yes?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Frankly, Okami, I think we know Malcolm's decision, because he was the one who tried to challenge the ritemaster on the spot, and then challenged Firesnake on it. Karlos was of a like mind to Malcolm. Angelia may agree with me, and she may agree with Ingvar, I don't know." ((And frankly, getting all of us together to discuss this will be difficult at best, which is why I'm having Reyna bring it up this way.))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "What advantage do you think we have over them, Ingvar? That we'll lose if we lose our challenge for Trevor, anyway..."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Angelia will follow whatever path leads to Adam getting out of the ground as fast as possible. Trust me. *Tone flat.*

Okami Yuki: ((*G* oh I know!)) *she frowns, thinking again, nodding to Reyna, falilng quiet, seeming listening and thinkign on her words*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods* Very well. First we will try Silkie's idea regarding a mass cleansing of the court. This I will insist upon. We let them refuse, ~Then~ the challenge. Agreed? *He doesn't look happy about it.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Ingvar, if Angelia and I were ruled entirely by our feelings for Adam, we never would have let him go in the ground in the first place. You can't imagine how difficult it was to watch him get buried, knowing that it is the thing that he fears the most. But we still did it, because we knew that certain protocols had to be followed, for everyone's sake. Now that they have been, the way to stand up to the courts is open to us. I don't know what you think we have over them that we'll lose if we challenge."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((DLP))

Silkie: "If we challenge and win, we've won. If we challenge and loose, we've lost nothing for trying."

Okami Yuki: *she frowns, thinking, mumuring* I have problems *sighing* you are my Family now, as us Uncle... I said I will find a way to cleanse them saving fave... I mut do so.. but I must suport you *frowns, thinking* can't we set a ritual and activate it as we step out?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to that. "That sounds perfect to me."

Silkie: "And if they agree to the cleansing, our challenge has a better chance."

Okami Yuki: How will we put the cleansing thing? that we all undergo it?

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks toward Reyna and Angelia at Okami's question.. he certainly is no theurge..*

Okami Yuki: ((ja! I know how to enhase that!... hopefully))

Silkie: "Okami-chan, if they agree to be cleansed, they will save face. If we attack-cleanse, they will probably shoot us. I have experience in this." Nods solemnly. She's done her share of tackle and sneak cleansings.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Exactly." The lopsided grin returns, in full force this time. "It's a win-win situation. The fact that we've stood up to challenge them will win us support from the secret followers of Firesnake in the courts, even if we lose. No matter what happens, we gain ground."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He gestures to Silkie at her words.* precisely.

Silkie: "Us too, then both sides can be assured the others are clean."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods as Reyna speaks.* I can see that.

Okami Yuki: *Nods to Silkie and ingvar then blinks, as if realising something, lookign to Ingvar* Challenge Uncle directly

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "We propose the cleansing as something that everyone takes place in, to heal the bad blood between the two factions of the Courts. It'll be hard for them to say no, and they'll probably lose face if they DO say no."

Silkie: "Even more face saving for them, if we also agree to being cleansed. And worse loss of face if they refuse. Refusing may as well be an admission of taint."

Okami Yuki: *moves slightly in place, nodding to them, it seems a decitiong, she does look up a moment, silently asking Selene to help in this impress, then back tot hem, repeating^* if they seem to refuse, challenge Uncle directly *looking to Ingvar*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He shakes his head to Okami's idea.* No. Out of the question. Your uncle may feel it necessary to "throw" the challenge.. and no one would ever believe that a seventeen year old socialite was able to overcome the General of the Hundred Blossoms Court. First the ritual to establish unity, take away the perception that the challenge is a result of "our" side challenging "theirs" and is more a matter of a disagreement than act of defiance.

Silkie: *Blinks at Ingvar. He's a seventeen year old socialite?*

Okami Yuki: *shakes er head* no...*looking to Ingvar* not challenge to a fight, not Challenge* enasis in the capital letter* you must disguise it.. but dare him to do the cleasing. Right there, you might as well do it as a daring to the Elders, in front of their people they'll do it

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods* Either the general or Ah Bing Shen should do the rite. It may as well be your Uncle.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She purses her lips. "Ingvar, Malcolm won't be challenging anyone for a while...not until he comes back to life, at least. It's going to have to be someone else." She looks at Okami and Ingvar. "I would say, either the Fist, or the Mind."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks from Reyna to Okami.* Madam, would you agree to a brief spar? So that we may establish who would be better suited for this?

Okami Yuki: *she shakes her head, smilling* he is no Mirror I do not know if he knows it

Silkie: "A challenge of ideaology, not fists."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He blinks.. sitting still.. then looks to Reyna, rather embarassed.* Ah. I had thought you meant... nevermind. Now I believe we are on same page.

Silkie: "A challenge of virtue."

Okami Yuki: *she blinks to Ingvar* to do the speaking? *nodding to silkie*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Pause!*LOL* Alright- I thought this whole time, Reyna was talking about the whole traditional "challenge the decision" thing wherein two folks sort of have it out like madmen and whoever is standing, wins. What exactly are we talking about?*G*))

Okami Yuki: ((eh.. I don't know why I got lost *G* are we doing the try to Cleanse them all AND the Challenge?))

Okami Yuki: ((Okami at least in the challeng euncle, was sarying 'DARE' him to to the cleansing, him and The Elders... politicaly I believe they won't be able to refuse.. not sure what Challenge Reyna was talking about))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grins a little, and leans forward, patting Ingvar on the knee. "It's okay, hon. You've got all that silly Ragey stuff boiling inside, so challenge does usually equate to evisceration fun. Just remember, there's more then one way to challenge someone."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Okay- got Okami's, and that's a good idea. Only he'll couche it in terms of "inviting" either Uncle or Ah Bing Shen to do the cleansing.))

Silkie: ((Challenging the punishment for Trevor, does not necessarily mean a physical battle. It may be a mental one. A battle of words. Not to say it might not turn to a physical challenge.))

Okami Yuki: ((*G* use DARE! if the invinting doenst work, use it use it use it!))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Reyna meant that we do the Cleansing attempt, if they say no, then we challenge the decision itself as our last recourse. Not necessarily a challenge by combat, though.))

Silkie: ((Thinks it's funny everyone interpreted 'challenge' differently. *c*))

Okami Yuki: ((ok. Think we are all on the same page now?))

Okami Yuki: ((*giggleS* yea!))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I think we are, yeah. *G*))

Silkie: *blinks from face to face, as they all try to make sense of each other*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Okay- forging ahead.*G*)) *He nods* With the small "c" firmly in place, I believe we may continue our discussion.

Silkie: "The small Sea?" Still looking confused.

Okami Yuki: (( so Ingvar is saying combat to see whom is the more apropieate to do the wording of the fight if we have to?)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Lower-case, Silkie. 'Challenge' with a lower-case 'c,' as in in a general sense, not the official sense."

Okami Yuki: challenge word Silkie san

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Disregard that.*G* Just go with the sudden realization of what they're all talking about part.))

Okami Yuki: ((ok then!))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Very well. So we will proceed with the request for a ritual, then move on to challenging Trevor's punishment.

Silkie: *Still looks lost since she can't spell the word challenge.*

Okami Yuki: if the first fail *looking to them* if we manage to Cleanse them I am nearly sure they will see the wrongness in the Punishment... nearly sure

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Ingvar. "Bingo. And bango ang bongo, for that matter."

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Silkie, smiles* Challenge with a Capital holds the importance of Office. means We need to find a challenge physical or other and try with force to win it... challenge as we are using it, means we are daring them to brave a Cleansing, is merely another word rather then a official one

Silkie: *But she does get the plan.*

Silkie: "Ooooh." Nods at Okami.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances at Reyna.* Madam, your coat, please.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He adds, gesturing to the other naked one.* For Silkie, you understand.

Okami Yuki: (8be right back, five mins!))

Silkie: *Looks over at Reyna hopefully. She is kind of cold.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods, slipping it off and handing it over to Ingvar. "You know, you have GOT to get some clothes dedicated to you. One of these days, I won't have my duster, and you won't look very good in on of my tank-tops. Plaus you'll stretch it all out."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Oh, for Silkie. She grins. "My bad. Here you go, Silkie." She hands it over. "You probably will look okay in one of my tank-tops."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks toward the woman as he passes the coat toward Silkie.* I have meant to do so on several occasions.

Silkie: "I think he looks pretty, naked." Looking over at Ingvar, openly studying his physique. "I especially like the pictures on your back."

Okami Yuki: ((( right on unbrel. Okami's clothes are... a pant, ninja looking and a slight tigh shirt, is the only things she's got, understand why she didnt gave any ;) ))

Silkie: *Taking the coat (from which ever of them *c*) and pulling it on.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He sighs, looking down, Then back up into the distance.* I am going to present a case to asians... in the nude. I think I will punch Dream very hard when I see him again.*he nods*

Okami Yuki: ((pictures?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oh, don't get me wrong, Silkie, he's a nummy treat, but I'm just sayin' I only have so many tops."

Silkie: "Ingvar, you told me once a pack should be all wolves, yet you joined this sentai which is a tiger, coyote, lions and a fish. Why?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Oh, c'mon. Like Dream didn't have to do it! *G*))

Okami Yuki: *smiles to Ingvar* your clothes may be standing there on the Real Land...

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods at silkie's words.* You have remarkable taste. See me when you get a bit older, yes? *He rises from the floor.* Everyone ready?

Okami Yuki: *blinking at silkies words, smiles* we are not a pack Silkie san, we are Sentai

Okami Yuki: *then giving ingvar a look at THAT invitation*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Because this is a sentai. Sentai is similar, but not the same thing.

Okami Yuki: **same look to Reyna, BTW*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He raises an eyebrow, refusing to be flustered further.* ((Dream was his partner in crime! punchy punchy!*G*))

Silkie: *Gets to her feet, grinning at Ingvar.* "I will. Are we going back now?"

Okami Yuki: *and nods to ingvar, rising herslef, settling a bit her hair and then looking to them, moving to carry Malcom*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She doesn't seem to notice the look. Yeah, she's good at that not noticing looks things when she wants to be...

Silkie: *Buttons the duster and checks the pockets.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Dream ran circles around Court logic on 4 hours of sleep the week prior, no clothes, and laws he only partially understood. Ingvar should be fine... *G* Besides, he has his OWN problems... *Shudder*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Let us hope so, Okami. This is... hardly proper. Perhaps such things are expected from time to time.

Okami Yuki: ((oi.. now what happeend to him?))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Mod to Okami-san))

Silkie: *Is sure Reyna's coat must have interesting things in its pockets.*

Okami Yuki: *she smiles so softly, lookign to him* we have an advantage Urgahaldt san... you are male, you will not be looked on so badly for lakcing clothes.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*Whistles innocently*))

Okami Yuki: ((damm... dammm.. damm....))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Reyna has nothing in her pockets...almost as if she figured she was probably going Umbral. Funny how much that happens these days...

Silkie: "Do yo want to wear the coat, Ingvar? I don't mind being naked, and I don't have to talk. Maybe I'll... distract them, naked. *G*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Keep that coat on, Silkie. *Part warning, part insistence.*

Okami Yuki: *shakes her head* on the contrary Silkie san, you are female, you WILL be looked bad upon without clothes

Ingvar Urgahaldt: We are ready, yes? *He looks between them.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "Ready to rock, as it were."

Okami Yuki: *nods to ingvar* picking up Malcoms body, then saying softly* can any of you pick up Karlos san?

Silkie: Okami> "Why?" Looking at her curiously as the pockets prove disappointing.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Ah. Of course. *He moves over to shoulder Karlos.*

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Silkie, thinks it over, then states* Because it is your right to retaind your clothing Silkie san, and because it is your right to decide whom is allowed to see you without them. And because, since men lost innocence, nakedness awakes their lower desires and one of the first sins the Centipede invented... Lust *regarding her*

Silkie: ((And should we press pause, pending Singha's return?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles to Silkie. "Ask to see my pocket later, when I've filled them again. Then you'll be happier." She moves to help Angelia to her feet.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((This is end point, I believe, yeah.))

Okami Yuki: ((yup... me believes so too *G* but at least we made progress =) ))

Silkie: *Looks at her. Afterall, given her nature, invoking lust is a natural thing to do. The idea of it being a sin is... She frowns.*

Okami Yuki: ((just poste what silkie does at Okamis words...=P))

Silkie: *Is Okami calling her a wyrm-creature?*

Okami Yuki: (( invoking desire Silkie is her nature.. lust is different I would think =P))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Reyna seems to share Silkie's point of view. "Lust a sin...pshaw. Weren't for lust, I wouldn't be here...neither would most of us, I'm sure."

Okami Yuki: *looks to Reyna* Lust or Desire REinuro san? they are, after all different

Silkie: ((Heh, so you think. *g*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Just goes. The young Lord is no fool. Talking about base desires with three women is no way to bolster his confidence for the upcoming arguement.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Okami. "Lust. I was the child of a one-night stand, hon." She's not being confrontational about it, just stating fact. Quite matter-of-factly, appropriately enough.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((As in, goes away. looking at flowers, the sky, just somewhere they arent.*L*))

Silkie: ((Ing> Yeah, naked no less. *L*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((The intrinsic problem here is that what Okami views as a sin, Reyna and Silkie both view as a perfectly natural thing that can be turned dark, like anything else.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Hence the ol' 'tocks facing them, rather than any traitorous bits. HA!))

Okami Yuki: ((lol fuzzy :P)) *she loosk to Reyna, nods, then considers* alright... let me rephrase it then... LAscive? the desire that bring men and women to force onto the other causing pain and disgrace? *looking back to Silkie and then to Reyna* call it as you will. when it became a pain in someone's heart it becaem a Centipede's seed

Okami Yuki: ((westerenrs!!))

Silkie: "I wouldn't make a pain in anyone's heart, Okami."

Silkie: "Not even naked."

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Silkie* I am not spekaing of you Silkie san... but I would much rather that pain wasn't imposed on you for not wearing your clothes

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods. "That's the dark side of Lust, hon. Lust is like the Force. It's got a dark side and a light side. Most times, you find yourself on the light side...some times, if you're not lucky, you find yourself hanging with the sexy Sith Lords on the dark side of it. But it's all the same. Kind of a Yin-Yang thing."

Okami Yuki: *blinks to Reyna, so not getting her idea, and visibly so, she though then states* for me that is Lust Reinuro san... Desire leads to consented union and probably lasting more *though she seems a tad unconfortable of speaking of such things, she though seems to realise it needed to be explained to Silkie*

Silkie: "I'll lick anyone who looks at me wrong." There's a reassuring image.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Jer, you are now recruited to explain to any children the birds and the bees and the sexy Sith Lords.*LMAO*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She shrugs. "Two sides, one coin. Or one Hayden Christenson. Rowr." She winks.

Okami Yuki: ((LOL)) *sighs to Silkie, looking to her* Silkie san... you can not lick someone when that someone is fighting you to submit to his... wants *frowns and looks off* just... wear your clothes Silkie san

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((I think I'm up to that challenge...))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "My clothes, actually, but yeah, I think Okami's right on this one. Besides, it looks good on ya." She grins to Silkie.

Silkie: "All I have is Reyna's coat. And I can lick anyone who gets close. If they're bad, they'll forget everything for a while." Stated with a solemn certainty. She knows how much agony her tongue can bring. Enough to make even Fausto scream and run from her.

Okami Yuki: *nods to Reyna, then adding* I to obelieve we need to speak with Silkie san on other matters like this Reinuro san

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He pinches the bridge of his nose from way over there.. let her get it all out now.. maybe she will be too exhausted to speak in front of the elders.*

Okami Yuki: *sighs at Silkie's answer, looking to her* Life is not always that easy Silkie san

Silkie: "They almost always try to escape, Okami-san."

Okami Yuki: *she considers a long moment, then looks to Silkie* what if you were gadged Silkie san? and restrained? *she frowns, visible growing unconfortable with it, though atempting to make an important input on Silkie*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles a little. "Trust us, Silkie. Things will go easier if you just keep the duster on."

Silkie: *Frowns.* "I would turn into a bird and fly away, and lick them later."

Silkie: "Or I could make my tongue like a knife and cut through the gag, and long like a whip to reach them." Okami giving her some interesting ideas. "I'm gonna wear it, Reyna."

Okami Yuki: *sighs harder, silent, her mind working then she stops and looks to Silkie* Correct, Silkie san, as a woman you are a flower, and cloths are your petals.... will you strip a flower from their petals just so the world could see how it is in true? or will you reserve that right for the Flower to decide to show you its true nature at her leisure?

Silkie: "Sometimes I eat flowers."

Silkie: "But I'm Ingvar's little flower. I will wear my petals for now."

Silkie: *Smiles brightly towards Ingvar's back.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs and rubs the bridge of her nose as Okami goes into metaphor. Yeah, THIS'LL go well...

Okami Yuki: *Closes her eyes, alright ingvar was right on that comment he made her once, shakes her head, and keeps on*

Okami Yuki: ((hei! she wans't getting the straight and forward!! =P))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She about chokes on Silkie calling herself Ingvar's little flower, her shoulders shaking with stifled laughter at the sheer number of ways that statement could get Ingvar killed in society.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He lowers his head, shaking it slowly.*

Okami Yuki: ((reyna is evil!))

Okami Yuki: ((thought Silkie is worst))

Silkie: ((That's his nickname for her. *L*))

Okami Yuki: ((oh, I know =P but still!))

Silkie: ((couldn't let that one go by *g*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Chushmya. Magyarol to english means "little flower" that's what he called her before he knew she would get him thrown in prison for it.*L*))

Okami Yuki: ((*snickers*))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He turns around, eyes half lidded.* Are we quite ready?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oh, Jesus..." She wipes her eyes, still chuckling, and looks around. "Are we ready to go yet? Or can we embarass our leader among ourselves some more?

Okami Yuki: *blinks, looking to Reyna, then to ingvar, confusedly, but just states* lets leave

Silkie: *Takes Reyna's hand, since she's not carrying anyone.* "I'm ready."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods a little, murmuring to Reyna.* We can go.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *A polite smile toward Okami flickers under severe features for a moment.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((If we go, we have to pause though right? hmm.. was a bit hasty it seems.))

Okami Yuki: *she regards ingvar, nodding her head to him at that, herself offering one of those soft, true smiles, and shifting slighlty Malcoms's weight* ((and now that I think ot if.. she must look ridiculous carrying that HUGE man beeing hersle the assian little ?=P))

Okami Yuki: ((yup...*G*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods, still smiling, her fingers curling around Silkie's hand. "All right. A-let's do it."

Silkie: ((I think that's a take.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((ftb))
