Ganaroth:
Everyone
doing more or less ok?

Ganaroth:
Seems
like that's the best we can ask for, these days. I know I'm being
an old by saying that, but the world really is a lot worse by most
metrics than it was as a kid. Some social stuff is better, and
tech is obviously better. Everything else is in a death spiral.

Otoh,
that allows me to mostly no longer care about the consequences of
anyone's actions.

Akaiku, do you think you could send me the logfox for last time?
You'd just gotten to Gray Clouds, but I don't remember

which is obviously better.

Cool, thanks, got it. You'd just finished talking to the addicted girl
(I'm not going to call her a junkie anymore. I thought about it, and
that's just too cruel for her situation), and she gave you some info
about the place, what Gray gets up to in there, and some speculation
about how to get his attention. According to her, this is the "Door of
Need," where Angel of Valor guardians peer into the minds of the addicts
before them, selecting only the most desperate to pass. The other door,
apparently, is for more serious patrons.
The line itself snakes past the tower, and around the corner, well out
of the sight of the angels, though it's possible nothing beyond more
line can be found. The Angels have yet to look in your direction, intent
on the line instead. As you stand there, a few people incoherently
wander past you, one of them stumbling, then tripping to the ground in
front of you. He giggles as he regains his feet, smiling at you and
waving. None of you recognize him, and soon his eyes slide off you, as
though whatever recognition passed through him has vanished.
=^v^=:
(( also we could just bribe through
line, maybe door. ))
|
Lucky:
"This
place is fuckin' weird."
|
I can't imagine that people in this line wouldn't be willing to let you
cut in return for a little cash. Or, yeah, could try to bribe the
angels. You don't know of any particular reason it wouldn't work.
|
Ra'ven:
"I
mean, it's not as instantly unplesent as the last places at least.
Probably still bad, no offense."
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
(Just
retrieving some tokens, sorry.)
|
|
Eileen:
"If
the angles in this door of need look into peoples minds to let
them in then the other door might be a better option, unless
yeah... they could be bribed not to."
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"The
ones guarding the main door might be more wary too, since there
job has more cash on the line."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"True..."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Bribing
our way in might not be the best plan. Especially not the cheap
door. Attracts attention, at a guess. Least it would at my place."
|
|
|
Eileen looks up, "Don't know how much
of an option it is given how it looked as we flew in but we could
try doing in from the top and working our way back down."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Dunno,
I mean rough types come in this door, and, I would expect, 'I can
take that guy for sure' isn't uncommon a thought."
|
|
Itzen:
"I
admit, this sort of place isn't exactly my element...."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"I
think what she's saying is that they might call the boss if
somebody asks for something suspicious like that. They might know
that we aren't actual customers." She looks frustrated. "The
aerial insertion might work. No idea if this place has any aerial
defenses, but it'd probably be a direction they don't expect."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Three
options, three ways they could screw us up, three path to victory."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Well,
I'm sure path four and five are lying around too."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"I
mean sewers are probably there... but after that last one I'm not
sure I want to go crawling though the muck again."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Prefer
not to wade through shit and whatever drug runoff gets put out
from here, honestly."
|
|
Pell scowls at the idea
|
|
Io 's lips curl in a snarl. "Let's
not, no. The smell might make us fit in, true, but WE'd have to
smell it as well. And may the heavens have mercy if anyone has an
open cut."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"That
rules out path four, so which way do we want to try? What ever we
pick we probably only get the one shot at this point."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Hmm.
The aerial option might have a little fighting involved, if there
are guards. We pretty clearly wouldn't belong there. But if the
defenses are light, we might be able to deal with them before word
spreads. The other two are more likely to be nonviolent, at least
at first, but if anyone suspects us, we might not know until
they're ready to pounce."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"My
own vote would be for the rich door, I guess. If nothing else, we
could try to fast talk them there."
|
|
|
Io:
"The
flight option."
|
|
|
Eileen looks to everone else.
|
|
Lilium:
"Ummm...
flight if were picking."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"Perhaps
flight wouldn't go as poorly as it did last time."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"I'm
down for a good drop-in."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"It
would save someone having to 'talk the talk' at least."
|
|
|
Pell:
"I...
Ugh. Fine."
|
|
|
Pell grumbles. "...
hate
flying."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher sighs, and pats Pell's
shoulder gently. "I feel you."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Not
sure any one other then Perra does, any ways let's get to it."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:

it okay if I assume that you scout the roof first?)

Io is a stealth flappy dragon and prob
could
|
vonel:
(( sounds good ))
|
|
Ganaroth:
(I
mean, he'll need to get up there, first. It's a fairly tall tower.
However, the illumination of it as you flew in showed that it had
some convenient terracing. If the resistance isn't too great,
Ayalin could probably ferry people up there. Possibly without them
knowing, even, depending on the situation.)
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
(Once
he's there, Io would be a great spy)

a Balrog is powerful? It took Gandalf to kill one. LoTR silliness
at its finest.)
|
Riot:
(( makes sense to me lol ))
|
|
Ganaroth:
(So,
what are you doing?)
|
Riot:
(( is everyone scouting or just Io? ))
Riot:
(( Oh the scouting is done huh? ))
|
|
Ganaroth:
(No,
nobody ever confirmed anything. There was some "this could
happen," but nobody ever said "I do this."
|
Riot:
(( Oh okay ))
|
|
Ganaroth:
(I
don't normally like to choose player actions for them, since I
don't know exactly what you want.)
|

(( In that case I'll defer to whomever
is controlling Io, since I think the idea was that they would scout ))

Io:
(Sure.
If you would like, most of you could stay up there, circling,
while someone like Lucky zooms around to see what's up.)
|
|
|
Io:
)Say
so if you do anything, please.)
|
Riot:
(( Lucky scopes ))
Lucky breaks off from the group, approaching the roof of the tower on
silent wings. The roof itself is well lit, showing a small rooftop
garden, and several freestanding structures. Each corner of the walled
garden is home to a Sentinel Cannon,similar to the versions around the
prison. There are several guards in evidence as well, or at least angels
who could easily serve as guards, regardless of their actual jobs.
Lucky, could you please make a perception check?
|
|
Io:
(Lucky,
could you please make a perception check?)

Lucky:
(Keen
vision coming through for her, Lucky is able to see that, while
there are four turrets, the southern two seem badly corroded.
You're not sure they'd actually work.)
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
(Sorry,
again.)
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
(Southern
of course refers only to these maps. South isn't a relevant
direction in this world.)
|
Riot:
(( doesn't bother me ))
|
|
Ganaroth:
(People
think in terms of Upcolumn, downcolumn, spin, counterspin, Toward
the vortex and away from it, the velocity of orbit, etc.)
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
(Since
north south east and west don't exist, and few things have fixed
places.)
|
|
|
Lucky lands and reports to the group
everything she's seen
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
(I'mma
bring you folks over, if that's ok.)
|
Riot:
(( fine by me ))
=^v^=:
(( there might not even be magnetic
poles for compasses to work! ))
|
|
Io:
(There
are magnetic FIELDS, but they're all local rather than global, so
to speak.)
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Well
if the two on that side don't look like they work then we should
be able to land there, and the buildings might give some cover
from the other two."
|
|
|
Io:
(Compasses
do things, but they aren't consistent from place to place, so
you'd need to know the peculiarities of the region to get use out
of it.)
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"I
like that idea. Just a few guards visible on the roof, but there
might be more inside the buildings. If we set down quietly enough,
we might even be able to peek inside."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Spread
out, wolfpack them once we know where they're hiding."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher seems oddly excited.

"I

Itzen:
"They
are unlikely to have more of those inside anyways."
|

Kaylen Fisher:
"The
turrets, no, but Angels like the indoors as much as anyone else."

|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(That
was still kinda exceptional. Well, that's exactly half misses.
Because I'm a fool, and didn't think about that obvious thing, I
should probably roll to see whether half means a win, or half
means a loss.)
|
Riot:
(( Lucky has a +14 and Pell has a +11
lol ))
Riot:
(( hilariously bad rolls ))
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(You
can also chime in, if you have thoughts, but given everything else
in the game (and my roll just now), I think it should probably be
half wins, meaning that you got up there. Hm. Ah, I know+
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
-(sorry,sic
again.)
|
The rest of you alight behind the southeast building, which has a single
door on the side facing you. As you do so, you hear a murmur from
inside. "Did you hear something? One of the vermin had better not have
gotten up here again. I'll check it out."
|
|
Ganaroth:
(there,
split the difference.)
|
vonel:
(( I'm okay with that and it makes
sense ))

"Vermin,
huh..." Ra whispers to the rest
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Probably
the customers, right?"
|
|
|
Eileen:
"More
then likely."
|
You hear a distinct *click* as the lock on the adjacent door disengages.
You have only a few moments to prepare before it opens.
|
|
Ganaroth:
(Ok.
If nobody wants to do anything...)
|
|
|
Lucky is gonna grab the dude if he
comes outside, hand over his mouth
|
Riot:
(( that's my idea anyway lol ))
|
|
Ra'ven will likely draw an arrow at
the clinking door herself
|
The door open, swinging open towards you, which conveniently block the
Angel's ability to see you. The Angel that emerges is one of the lesser
ones; the ones that seem to be made of fire. It's certainly solid fire,
though, since it could open door, and since the door isn't scorched,
it's a fair bet that it's not hot, either. Angels are conceptual beings,
and are often as much about metaphor as matter. Lucky can make her roll,
if she would like. Would you like to shoot simultaneously, Ra, or do you
wait until the grab. Just checking.
=^v^=:
(( Wait, it's a threat shot more then
a kill someone quick idea ))

(Oh,
ok. Apologies.)

Angel of Valor 4:
(I'm
afraid it's actually an attack roll to grab a creature.)
|
Riot:
(( Ah damn okay ))
Riot:
(( MBA? ))
Riot:
(( I think this is the first time I've
had to roll and attack roll without a target to click on lol ))
|
|
Angel of Valor 4:
(No,
there should be a dedicated grab button. Unless you've altered it
manually, though, you'll have to add in the enhancement bonus from
inherent and such. Normally it doesn't get anything, which makes
it an awful option for everyone.)
|
|
|
Lucky:
|
Hit:
The enemy is immobilized until it escapes or
you end the grab.
|
|
Sustain (Minor):
You sustain the grab. You can end
the grab as a free action.

|
As the creature peeks out, Lucky is able to snag it, quickly dragging it
out of sight and quelling its speech. It struggles in your arms, but
your own remain corded steel, unyielding. The flames lick you as it
struggles, and they feel like cool feathers. Eventually, its movement
slow, then stop. It's not dead or unconscious. If you had to put a word
to it, it would be sulking.
|

for you.)
|
Riot:
(( No I know. Opinions? ))
Riot:
(( Anybody got a way to put this thing
to sleep or knock it out? I am currently holding it so unless I choke it
out, that's not happening on my end I think ))
|
|
Angel of Valor 4:
(If
all you want to do is knock him out, I can just say that happens.
He's basically helpless. And yes, I know that grab doesn't work
exactly this way, but lucky did a special out-of-combat grab.
)
|
Riot:
(( Okay that works for me then lol,
thank you ))
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Huh,
that was quiet."
|
|
|
Io:
"One
down. I hope the ones he was talking to don't come looking for him
immediately."
|
|
|
Lucky shrugs.
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Glad
you didn't get burned."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Ain't
hot. Guessin' it's angel stuff."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Agreed.
But Lucky's a toughie. I'm sure she'd be fine even if."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"So,
we're up. What's the plan?"
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Ya
but what if I had to bite one?" She hmms, "I mean our target is
supposedly up top and only decends if something cool happens, so
we should be somewhat nearer from here right?"
|
|
|
Eileen:
"That
would be my thought, need to find a way down."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Well,
if Lucky didn't see it while flying over, it's probably in one of
the buildings."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"I
think we should rush into THIS building. Dunno who's in there, but
we might be able to occupy them before they can call for help, and
then we'd have a little breathing room."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Agreed."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Move
fast and break things, I like it."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Mm.
Might want to clear the rooftop, too, eventually. Otherwise the
others will find their unconscious friends while we're downstairs."
|
You can hear perhaps three more creatures inside, though you don't know
which kinds.
|
|
Itzen:
"We
are looking for someone specific, we likely do not need to worry
about clearing the way aside from having an exit route. And
minimising tireing fights before our objective is a sound tactic
as well."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Not
wrong. I'm just worried about them raising the alarm while we're
doing something."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"But
hey, I'll follow the plan."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"I'd
rather be inside and have them come to us if they hear something
then be fighting out here and getting pletted by those cannons."
|
|
|
Pell:
"Sound
thinking."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"I
honestly wonder if I could alter the targeting on those cannons.
It would be funny to make them shoot the angels. But I'd have to
be next to it without being seen, which is problematic."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Maybe
you can try on one of those broken ones once we deal with
everything else out here, wouldn't mind having some covering fire
if we can get them working on the way out."
|
You may move into the room when you are ready. You have surprise,
obviously. I'll show the critters, because you have an idea where they
are now.
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Hmm.
I mean, I'd have to chip away some of the corrosion, but that's
not actually impossible.It'll only be specific parts that really
need attention anyway."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"I
just mentioned it idly, though. We probably don't need to at all."
|
|
|
Eileen nods as she heads in

incredibly good, somehow, as though condensed revelation is waiting to
sit upon your tongue.
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Yeah,
we could always have him disintegrate it, but I'm worried about
alarms and such. A key should deal with that issue, right? I don't

own doors all day."

It smell like memory and possibility.
|
|
Io hops over, takes a sniff, then
recoils. "Er... no, you shouldn't drink this. Not NOW at least.
The girl at the gate spoke of a shared dream that the Gray Angel
can create? It's not a power of his. It's this. He's somehow found
a source of Soma." He shakes himself, a clear fusion of revulsion
and desire. "And that should be impossible. From what you've told
me, the primary ingredient should no longer exist."
|
the search goes on for several more minutes, but unfortunately fails to
uncover a key to the hatch. It's possible that a different angel has it.
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Why?
What's it made of?" Ra goes to inspect the lock on the hatch next
for how unlocky it might be
|
|
|
Eileen sighs, of course it wouldn't be
that easy..."
|
|
|
Io:
"Soma
is liquid dreams. A divine liquor, essentially, and when I say
divine, I mean it literally requires the purified blood of a
deity."
|
|
|
Lilium:
"But
if it's being made here then that would mean..."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"So
we could make it from you then?" pause, "I mean, not that we
would."
|
|
|
Pell stops his rifling at Io's words.
"That sounds... horridly portentous."
|
|
|
Io:
"It
was something that allowed our most favored followers to commune
with us, and we even used it to commune with each other at times."
He eyes it, clearly disturbed. "We don't know they're making it
here. But somewhere, they've either found a way to replicate the
sacred fluid, or that one of my brethren still lives."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Maybe
the Grey Angel is one of those, those dieties thing."

little concept of the powers we once wielded. The damage that a
god, unrestrained by the presence of others, could inflict..."
They shake their head. "Perhaps. I would hope not. Most of my kind
had greater ambitions than this. But not impossible."
|
|
|
Io:
"This
city has been one unpleasant surprise after another for me.
Dragons and Soma, and a strange compulsion, and of course the Orb
on top of it."
|
|
|
Eileen looks at Io, "Should we destroy
what we find? You would now what's best in this situation."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"Its
at least not the orbs falt, this drink. It's locked up."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Adhikaar
ain't for the faint of heart, that's for sure. People fight ya
soon as look at ya."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Seems
wasteful to just destroy it if it's so rare."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"And
apparently this is the testing ground for all the crazy. I guess
it's not a terrible place for it." She eyes the barrel. "I mean,
do we have a way to take it with us? I left my bag of holding in
my other bag of holding, so now I don't have one."
|
|
|
Ra'ven aboslutly has a single empty
wineskin on her which she offers up
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
((Fun
fact: During a game I played in college, the players successfully
weaponized the bag of holding trick, and used it to remove a super
annoying enemy during an important fight. Actually, during that
same fight, one of the players got swallowed whole, and then BIT
his way out.))
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(3.5
was wild sometimes.)
|
You fill up the wineskin with the fragrant liquid. It seems to vibrate
within the container, buzzing in time to a song you almost recognize.
|
|
Ra'ven gives a slightly wistful sigh,
"Bit like home, but different tune."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"I'm
going to take a quick peek..." She goes over to the door, crack it
just slightly, and looks. "Another of those Love angels, and an
Angel of Protection. They're annoying, like a good tank ought to
be. Don't see anything more advanced."
|
|
|
Lilium:
"Should
we try and lure them in here?"
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"It's
really annoying that there is all these cool things but they are
being used for evil."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Dunno
if you want to try it. I should look and see if there are alarms
first... just in case." She goes over and begins magically
examining it. "Hey, Pell. Give me a hand, will you? I can deal
with the magical stuff, but if there are mechanical traps or
alarms, I'd love a head'
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
*head's
up."
|
Riot:
(( got distracted ))
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Aha.
Yup. There's some kind of energy hooked to it. Probably blows if
it's messed with too much. I'm guessing necrotic, maybe? It
wouldn't hurt the surrounding that way. See anything?"
|
Riot:
(( What am I examining because last I
see Kay went to the door? ))
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(Kay
asked for your help in finding and dealing with any mechical
traps. She's noted that Pell seems to have clever fingers.)
|
Riot:
(( Just like in general in the room? ))
Riot:
(( Or looking out the door outside ))
=^v^=:
(( probably hatch? ))
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(I'm
sorry, I failed at description. I meant the hatch, for both of
them, yeah, but didn't say so well.)
|
Riot:
(( Oooh Okay. That's what I initially
thought then last I could see she was at the front door. What do you
want me to roll? Arcana or Thievery? ))
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(It's
also 6:50, which might be time to end this session. But we
actually did some stuff, so I'm not unhappy with it. Pell should
roll thievery on this.)
|
|
|
Pell:
|
Riot:
(( Yeah I was gonna ask if we could
end soon, I gotta get changed and take the bus to the store because I am
out of liquids I can drink in this house ))
Riot:
(( And the water system I don't trust
without boiling until I can run bleach through it ))
It's a good thing that Pell was there to deal with this one; The capsule
trap containing the energy had a purely mechanical trigger. Unless
Kaylen somehow neutralized the whole thing (difficult!) an arcana check
wouldn't have been enough to deal with it.
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(It
opens, and now you can go to the store.)
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(And
I can probably have a power outage.)
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(Thanks
for being here, tonight. I had a good time, even if there were
some stumbling blocks.
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(Always
good to spend time with you.)
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
i
haz saved the game
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
Thankz
|
Riot:
(( Good game! ))
Riot:
(( also yay Pell saved Kay's fingers
from getting blown off lol ))
|
|
Ra'ven:
just
in case that power outage happens and I'm too annoyed to bother
running the generator cause it's raining and super windy
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(It's
more like they would have rotted off, but she's just as grateful.)
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(nodnod)
|
Riot:
(( Ah fair yeah necrotic ))
Riot:
(( Okay gnight yall! ))

About

|

Ganaroth:
I
was slipping in and out of consciousness all night. -.-
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
Yeah.
It actually offends me that you can sleep for 8 hours and end up
more tired than when you started. The kind of sleep where you
don't even make par.
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
Ughghhh.
But there is nothing for it but to just get up and start doing
things, because clearly trying to sleep isn't working, lol. So
here I am. To my recollection, you are still on the roof. Can you
let me know what has been done vis a vis that door down?
|
|
|
vonel:
I
belive lockpicking and magic/regulare traps/alrams had been looked
for, and we were also trying to figure out if we wanted to lure
the other guys into the room to takes them out before going down.
|
|
|
Ganaroth:
Ok,
thanks! I just wasn't sure whether or not the door was unlocked
and disarmed yet. Cool.
|
|
|
Riot:
Yeah
a trap was disarmed iirc?
|
|
|
=^v^=:
if
nothing else logfox remains
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"I
vote for taking out the others, personally. We don't know exactly
where to find the target, which means we don't know how long we'll
need to look. If we're in there too long, the others will probably
wander over here, see the bodies, then raise the alarm. 'Course we
can't know that they aren't about to start their shift, and people
will be looking for all of them in ten minutes, but I figure we
should take at least minimum caution."
|
|
|
Eileen nods
|
|
|
Lucky shrugs. "Works for me."
|
|
|
Io:
"I
have a different perspective. You are not a native flyer, and you
naturally don't think this way, but if we attempt to kill the
others, we'll need to do so in a way that does not allow them to
disengage. Otherwise, these "angels" will simply fly down to a
lower lever and raise the alarm there."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"I
do wonder if our target is the sort that would, you know, run
away."
|
|
|
Io:
"We
are in control of the entrance, and to flying creatures that means
precisely nothing."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"This
is their seat of power, after all."
|
|
|
Io:
"I
don't know this. But even if the Gray Angel would not abandon his
seat of power, that doesn't mean his men won't retreat to warn the
others...." He pauses. "...Do we assume that these angels have
been infected in the same way as the other soldiers? If so, that
would simplify things."
|
|
|
Eileen looks at Io, "We would need to
lure them in to either this building or another building to stop
them from flying off like that. Even if we did fight them out
there we would still get shot up by those cannons."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Is
there a way we can tell baised on them?"
|
|
|
Eileen points to the angels in the
room.
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I
mean if one wakes up and is tied up if they try to attack us
instead of try to escape or raise an alarm or something?"
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"You
know, if nobody has a better way."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"...Dunno.
I didn't sense anything from the others." She kneels down near one
of the angels, pauses for a moment, then shakes her head. "I've
got nothing. I... sorta have an idea, but it's a little risky.
Just a little, though. If there are angels in any of those other
buildings, we could always try to take them out, but give them
what looks like a way out. Then we see if they take it, stop them
if they do." She shrugs. "I know it's simple, but I'm not a
healer. I can't sense any active magic, and I don't know enough to
tell whether it's having secondary effects." She pauses at
Ra'ven's statement. "If they actually think they could get away,
that could work. Maybe."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Just
have to make sure that they would normally think that's the best
option..."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher muses for a bit, dreams
of experimentation flashing through her head.
|
|
|
Io:
(Sorry,
does anyone have thoughts? I feel like I'm brushing up against the
line of my actually making decisions for you.)
|
Riot:
(( I am bad at tactical planning and
have no good suggestions lol ))
=^v^=:
(( I mean I have thoughts that I
voices, what I don't have is a plan xP ))
Riot:
(( I kinda just go with the prevailing
opinion unless somehow my brain strikes gold. Usually it's fool's gold
though ))
=^v^=:
(( i mean if we don't have good plan
I can suggest questionable ones! ))
|
|
Io:
(I
promise I'm not asking for you to make a plan, but we have
outlined a couple of options. What I can't do is chose between
them for you)
|
|
|
Itzen:
"Nobody
here knows our objective yet, so we can pretend to be stealing.
Perhaps we can lure one of them to make a run for it via stupidly
needing their labor to help steal this drug?"
|
|
|
Itzen:
"it's
vaguly plausable a reason to release one and if they must continue
fighting despite this, we have that answer."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"It
did not let them surrender before, right?"
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Waaaait.
Like, we wake one up and offer to cut them in if they help us?"
She laughs. "That's actually kinda hilarious."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"I
like it..."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"And
if they attack instead of doing the smart thing and playing
along... huh."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"It
is kinda funny."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"I
mean if they actually
would
sell out our target entirely,
that would be extremely helpful, but this might at least be a
decent check?"
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"This
is a good idea. I'm for it. We get good info either way."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Some
one can be near the door to the bigger yard to block them trying
to get out that way, while we leave the back way out open with
someone out back ready to cut them off if they do try and run."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher moves over to the north
door, blocking the path.
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(I
swear, getting these maps to correctly align is just a thing that
doesn't happen.)
|
Riot:
(( lol ))
vonel:
(( it's alwasy been a problem ))
=^v^=:
(( perspective seems to distort grid
to not be actually square ))
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(Kinda
seems like it. But honestly, it's a price I'm ultimately willing
to pay. The maps look way better with perspective.)
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Who
wants to be out back?"
|
|
|
Io:
"I'd
suggest Pell, personally. And a second person. Pell would be
capable of simply knocking them back inside, if it become
necessary."
|
|
|
Itzen looks to Ra, "You spared them
and seem to like talking, perhaps you should ask. The dragon is a
good shot, perhaps go with Pell."
|
|
|
Io:
"I
would be willing."
|
|
|
Pell:
"Can
do."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"Arright,
drop some water on that guy's face, and slap him a couple of
times." She peeks out through a crack in the door. "Still just
talking out there."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"You
two, " Itzen remains avoding using names as she tends to do,
gesturing to Lucky and Eileen, "Can be sizing up or the like of
these barrels, if we need that level of fiction."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(I'm
going to assume that you wake this guy up, since we're talking
about it, if that's okay.)
|
|
|
Ra'ven likely has Lill help as she's
likely slightly better at waking up someone, think we did leave
one of the valors alive in addition to the love. Which one looks
like it can carry more xP?
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(The
angel of Valor by a wide margin. They are tall, muscular
creatures, while the Angel of Love is petite, and shaped more like
a young woman than a powerful warrior.)
|
|
|
Ra'ven totally does wake the minion
first then
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5 stirs as you attempt
to wake it. The creature has no eyes, no does it have anything
recognizable as a mouth, but all of a sudden it becomes obvious
that it's no longer unconscious, and is in fact watching you.
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Oi,
you work here obviously. They pay you enough?"
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"You
wake me after attacking..." It seems to consider. "No, they do
not. The Gray is many choirs above my own. They do not reward;
they merely expect obedience, and we must obey. If not, the
essence of light is witheld." The angel seems calm. It shows no
signs of attempting to either fight or run. "You wish something of
me. Speak your desire."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"...
Essence of light?" she frowns, "I mean, there is quite a bit more
rather heavy dream goo here then we have hands and importantly
wings to take to our sellerss."
|
|
|
Itzen muses about seizing the means of
production with a worker revolt
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Dream
goo..." It makes a quiet sound that you realize is a kind of
chuckle. "The Soma. Of course. The essence of light is to us what
the Soma is to you; the purified blood of the genesis. But for us,
it is necessary. Without it, our own existence in this world
slowly becomes the dream." It appears to consider. "I may help.
Some of the others might as well. But it cannot be a simple theft.
If he believes we had a hand in this, even by not fighting hard
enough, we will die. There is... more below. Soma in it's
unfinished form, of course. It has yet to absorb the Electrum
light, and waits its turn. Take much of that as well, or cause
great damage. Make him BELIEVE that this was something none of us
could have prevented, and I will bring my friends to your cause.
We will help you abscond with the barrels if you can bring them
here. Remember, we will die if an excuse is not provided."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(Well,
that's annoying. I thought I'd made a token, and didn't. It's
fine, I'm just kind irritated.)
|
|
|
Itzen:
"Obnoxious
that it doesn't care enough about it's underlings to pretend to
care about loyality. I suppose if causeing a mess is a condition
to getting away with it, that works out. What mechinsim would you
die? It wouldn't do to have new workers not make it to the task
they are needed for..."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(Are
you asking the way in which they would be killed? Just making
sure.)
|
=^v^=:
(( ya, like what the trigger is, how
it happens, etc ))
=^v^=:
(( maybe it's a deadmans switch or a
kill workers button, as opposed to being hunted down or starved ))
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Starved.
He will simply deny us our essence, and we will wither and fade.
We know of no other sources."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"So
it wouldn't matter were you were, he could just turn that off and
that would be that?"
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"It
would be an act of withholding, not something he would trigger. We
require regular infusions of the essence of light in order to
exist. He would turn us away, and within a space of weeks we would
fade to little more than whispered shadows."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Sounds
about right."
|
|
|
Io peeks inside. "I would like to
point out that true celestials require no such thing. Recall
Tyellenthi, who spent eons trapped without food or drink of any
kind. That they require the blood of gods to exist at all is
something I find disturbing." Their head vanishes back around the
corner.
|
|
|
Lucky:
"The
way you and she were imprisoned like that still makes my fucking
blood boil."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Right,
and why do you need that guy to get these infusions anyways?"
|
|
|
Io:
"And
mine. Our captors spoke often in firm but gentle tones, telling us
that we could not be allowed to waste our lives in a doomed cause,
and that our power would yet be needed." He pauses. "They may even
have been right, but it was nevertheless a violation of the
highest order."
|
|
|
Eileen:
""I
would assume because he's the only one that can do it, they did
mention that there was no other sorce kown to them."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I
wonder why it can then. I mean I assume some other angels exist
somewhere..."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"...I'll
not take offense at the comment about "true" celestials. We need
him because we know of no other way to acquire the essence.
Obviously other sources exist in this world, because our kind
exists elsewhere. But attempting to acquire such a thing would
mean taking it from another, obviously stronger Haven."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"If
it could even be found at all. I would assume that they guard
their sources well."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Please,
allow me to speak to the others here. I will explain to them." It
reaches up to gingerly touch it metallic face. "I think the marks
on my flesh will serve to convince them that fighting is not in
our best interests."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5 peers across the room
from its vantage point on the floor. "...and the others here? Do
they yet live? I cannot see well from this position."
|
|
|
Ra'ven points to the love angel, "This
one does, the other one, our dragon has somewhat negative views of
your kind currently."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(me
constantly failing to put the s on the end of its.)
|
=^v^=:
(( I will never bust you on typos
unless it's super funny ))
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(Thanks
for not being a pedantist.)
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"A
sad fate, but one that will merely be shared by the rest of us, if
we attempt revenge."
|
|
|
Eileen ponders a moment before sighing
and shruging, "Oh well... Before you go speak to them, can you
tell us any thing about what is effecting the human guards of this
city. They don't seem to run form fights, even if they are aobut
to be killed."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5 chuckles weakly. "Of
course. That is down to us and the High Lady Tynaron. She
manufactures some kind of additive which goes into our different
powders and potions. Not merely a chemical substance, but one that
is truly alchemical. Their minds seem whole until battle begins,
and then their agression separates itself from their conscious
control. They only sit within their own minds, helplessly
observing as their bodies fight a hopeless battle."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"That
is... fuckin' dark, my guy."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Dark
and cruel, like the High Lady herself, and like her masters."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I
mean this place isn't a whole lot better, from what I see, but..."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"We
too are dark and cruel. We bear the same sin."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I
suppose it's this or death for you though."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"It
is, though there are others who do not see this as slavery, but
instead mere employment. To them, the crimes against mortals are
trivial. The Gray would certainly see any number of your kind
suffer and die in order to secure his own place in the coming
regime."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"The
coming regime?"
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Seems
like it's true with your kind suffering and dying as well, not
really a 'kind' thing more a flat ambission thing."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Tynaron's
masters come. She recruited others, The Gray amongst them. When
war occurs, the forces of Adhikaar will be on the front lines, as
they always have been. But this time they will be led into a trap,
and once it is sprung they will be unable to escape. The armies of
Adhikaar, the first line of defense for the League of Five, will
die in a single battle, opening the way for the invaders." It
chuckles again. "You speak truth. They are an aberrant form, a
broken servant who now only serves itself, and feels no compassion
for those that are not his own favorites."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Tynaron
and The Gray care nothing for Adhikaar as anything more than a
source of wealth, resources, and prestige. All of these things
they have determined are more easily found with those that come."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"They
fail to realize that geting that from forces that famously only
give
bad deals
has obvious outcomes."
|
|
|
Eileen clentchs her fists, "Soilders
diying in battle is expected, but that is just cowardley."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Ah.
It seems you know whom I speak of. What I have already said is the
closest I can come to revealing their identities. That you already
understand is a blessing."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I
mean it sounds pretty smart but the people doing it are rather
terrible people and vile betrayers and the like."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"I
am an angel of Valor. To have courage taken and twisted in this
way is beyond wretched."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Ya,
I was wondering about that, if it was just a title or something."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"It
is a title, and also an identity. We are numerous, but far weaker
than other angels. And it is in that weakness that our identity is
forged. Thousands of us would willing fling themselves at a great
foe, knowing that we are likely to die for the cause. If we were
strong enough to never die in our battles, we would have no
connection to valor at all."
|
|
|
Ra'ven "Like a fey then. Must be
annoying to be forced out of your Tale."
|
|
|
Lilium just nods
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I
mean taking stuff for us isn't precisly valourous, but at least
it's not working for an unjust oppressor, and is actually working
against it..."
|
|
|
Io pokes their head in again. "This is
actually fascinating... you are not celestials, but you claim to
have an existence akin to their ancient forms regardless." There
is a note of sympathy in its voice. "I may have been wrong about
you. Perhaps you not seek to usurp their place, but instead have
been thrust into it, and remade for that purpose. I wish I knew
what you once were..."
|
|
|
Eileen nods for io and Pell to come
back in, "Clearly he's not gong to run or fight."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"All
mortals contain the virtues we embody in greater or lesser
measure. I would no more expect you to exhibit pure valor in your
lives than I would expect you to live on only water."
|
|
|
Io:
"Agreed,
Eileen. I think we can assume that for now."
|
|
|
Ra'ven nods sagely, and says something
in Elven, after Io, but then frowns and repeats, "I mean, dragons
have long memories..."
|
|
|
Io:
"And
mine longer still, but we have no special ability to trace to
course of the past. I can see this creature as it now exists, but
its origins are a mystery. Though if they require Soma to exist,
in implies that something of our world still lives in them... but
that thing may be bent or broken, unable to sustain them truly
without infusions of divine blood."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Perhaps
wrecking up the stuff below will give further insight?"
|
|
|
Io:
"Irritatingly,
there are gods whom I might have sought council on this matter,
but they are as absent as the others." They nod. "Yes. That isn't
the objective, but if knowledge passes into our hands as we go, I
will certainly not complain."

Ra'ven looks to the knocked out other
type of angel, "So, that one, think she will be onboard? Love can
be of power and status, after all."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"This
is a strange conversation, and difficult to follow... Yes, I
believe that this one will agree. Love can be expressed in many
ways, both constructive and destructive, just as Valor may be
expressed even with acts of malice. The ones that are on this
rooftop tend towards the constructive by nature. I cannot
guarantee that from those below will be the same."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"May
I shift upright? As you have said, I will neither run nor attack."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"My
employees backgrounds are occasionaly complex, as you might guess
from their diverse appearance."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Indeed.
Given the disparity of appearance, I would guess that you are
either adventurers or mercenaries of some sort, especially since
your interest is clearly not actually in the Soma you intend to
steal."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Don't
see why not. Whatever's comfortable." She nods.
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5 drifts upward from
the ground. With no actual legs, it's as if the angel's entire
body simply reorients itself.
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"I
thank you. In any case, what I mean to say is that you do not
comport yourselves as thieves. You ask questions that thieves
would not care to, so you are here for something else. Groups such
as those I mentioned are the most likely to have larger goals that
they wish to conceal."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"We
are here to steal things, though." she nods, "Doesn't mean you
can't have higher goals and asperations."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Sword,
sword. Same difference."
|
Riot:
(( this is a "tomayto tomahto" joke,
with a specific reference I will post in off topic ))
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(Sord,
Sward?)
|
Riot:
(( I posted the comic lol ))
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Of
course. But I do not think that you would be stealing here at all,
if not for whatever your other goals are." It waves a hand "I do
not ask to be told. Best if you do not, in fact. But you risk much
by coming here for something more than material reward... and that
valor deserves acknowledgement, and places you above our master,
in my eyes. I would fight a thousand thieves without hesitation...
but I will become a thief myself, if it is for a greater goal."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"In
his own selfishness, it is possible that the master overlooked
that some might wish to infiltrate for reasons other than petty
greed, and that we might be sympathetic in such cases."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(Yup,
that's basically the joke I thought it'd be. Heh. Language jokes
are a pretty sure way to make me laugh.)
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(Easily
nerd-sniped by linguistics and writing craft.)
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I
mean they seem to not care about you and you go to war with the
army you have, right? Seems like being surrounded with angels of,
I don't know, loyality or order might be difficult? Self intrest
would turn, valor, love, greed, justice, vengance, lots of aspects
that something could be 'of' and would flip if it lined up. Can't
really ignore taking care of people..."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Just
so. Several Angels of Protection HAVE been enslaved here, but many
of them function under duress. There is a simple method to
controlling such a being; to convince them that the only way to
protect a being in their care is to submit."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"I
cannot believe that more than a bare handful are so twisted that
they would wish to protect THIS place."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Allow
me to call the others over, if you would."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Our
conversation all well and good, but do not take much offense if we
prepair arms in cause they disagree?"
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Of
course. In case it becomes necessary, one such angel of
protection, Savennaphon, has posession of a ring of keys. They
will open anything but the most secure areas, and so might be of
use."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"They
are here, and I have hope that they will listen."
|
Riot:
(( very biblical name, that one ))
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
((Yeah,
I'm trying hard not to just end every angel's name with "iel"))
|
|
|
Ra'ven wispers to the group once the
valor character is a bit out of whisper range, "Any thoughts on
telling the protection person why we need a bunch of stuff to
selll?"
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(But
I still want them to allude to the idea.)
|
=^v^=:
(( you even have 'ian' to end angel
names with too if needed! ))
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
"I
mean, I've got no idea. It might even be best to tell them some
version of the truth. Not sure I want to know what happens if they
spot us lying."
|
|
|
Kaylen Fisher:
(Yeah,
there are plenty of options. It's just that iel is so easy to
default to.)
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Agreed,
I mean from the sounds of it were more or less commiting them to a
slow death by killing Grey?"
|
|
|
Io:
"We
would not be if we uncovered the means by which he creates his
Soma."
|
|
|
Io:
"I
doubt it's something inherent to him."
|
|
|
Eileen nods, "Something to keep any
eye out for then..."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I'm
just guessing but you can't right now, right?" Ra asks Io with a
bit of delicacy
|
Several other angels have exited the surrounding structures, and are
gathered in the courtyard. Several of them have weapons drawn, but they
don't seem agitated or hostile so far.
|
|
Io:
"Er....
I believe it would be possible, but it would greatly weaken me.
The power must come from somewhere, after all, and I have little
of it at the moment."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Rather
not bleed you dry... Vul would be up in arms."
|
|
|
Io:
"Preparing
a single barrel, even if it must be finished in the way they seem
to be doing, would make me useless for the rest of this venture.
For weeks, certainly."
|
|
|
Io:
"I
appreciate it. Even if I sympathize with them, many more than them
might die if we do not retrieve the Orb. I can contribute more to
that cause."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Still...
we'll need to get word around about what's happened to the army
here... try and find a way to reverse it, if someone even can."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Good
to know as a baseline though, right? Whatever source is stronger
in being that then you..."
|
|
|
Ra'ven frowns quickly, "I mean that in
a danger of the source way..." she corrects.
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5 returns to the door,
now holding a ring of bronze keys. "Here. They have agreed to aid
you, so long as the Grey can be deceived as to our involvement."
|
|
|
Io whispers just before he comes back.
"I understand your meaning, and I agree."
|
|
|
Eileen will take the keys if no one
else does, "I think that can be aranged."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Agreed."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"Good."
They pause. "If we are discovered before you complete your task,
we will no doubt create an excuse, and will have to join the fight
against you. I hope that will not happen, but if it does, do not
hesitate to cut us down. Such an end is always a possibilty for
us."
|
|
|
Pell:
"Hopefully
it won't come to that. I rather appreciate friends over enemies."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Suppose
it might be an ask that if you are forced to die in a doomed
conflict, you join our side..."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Dying
is the thing being held over you and your ilk, after all."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"And
for a dumb cause."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"All
sane creatures do. There is no valor in seeking pointless
conflict. Such a thing is only bloodlust." It gives a shallow nod
at Ra'ven's words. "Should we be doomed either way, we will do our
best to strike out and those we resent most, if there is no cause
dear to our hearts in the offing. It is unlikely that the beings
we resent most are you."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"Oh,
I do not know if it's in your offering, but would it be possible
to break or otherwise disable some of those balastas up here?"
|
|
|
Itzen continues to not be a fan of
being shot by balastae
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5 hands the keys to
Eileen. "The Gray will conduct the communal dream soon, and he
will then retreat below to contine experimenting with its
substances. There are multiple ways to to attack him, if you plan
on doing so, but he'll not disappear easily."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"We
can easily disable the cannons. Do not worry."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
(Pretend
that I'm gendering that fucker consistently.)
|
=^v^=:
(( I mean Ra is actually flipping
between they and it for the gray. She calls Io they consistantly though
))
|
|
Ra'ven:
"I
do wonder, what is the Gray actually an angel of?"
|
|
|
Lucky:
"Angel
of dicks, sounds like."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"His
high holy angel of dickishness. Dickocity."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"The
Gray angel is an angel of mercy."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"They
embody the end of pain... but I believe this one believes pain
must first exist."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Loses
deffenition of mercy then..."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"We
are bound to ideas, but ideas are subject to interpretation. It is
inevitable that some will interpret their purpose in ways that
others don't appreciate."
|
|
|
Lucky:
"That...
was not what I expected. Like, at all."
|
|
|
Itzen:
"I
find it difficult to think something beileves the world is enough
'without pain' to necessate causing further on principle, let
alone in this particular city."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"For
those with means, it offers release from care and worry. For those
without, it releases them from the pain of living... and in so
doing, alleviates the pain of those with means, who have every
reason not to share their lives with those that my cause them
difficulty or guilt. Unfortunately, simply embodying mercy does
nothing to prevent one from being selective in its application."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"It
is the same reason that I do not valorously fling myself at you,
regardless of how I feel about your actions."
|
|
|
Io:
"I
believe I understand what is happening... they "angels" are allied
to the ideas that live within us... the ones I was familiar with
were bound to ideas that had true existences apart from your own
thoughts and feelings. In my time... well, it is of little matter
now, but there were entire realities that provided a definition of
what mercy, or justice, or truth were. Now... they are forced to
scramble for meaning on their own."
|
|
|
Angel of Valor 5:
"This
dragon speaks in a way that is irritating. Your pity is not
desired, and we are content with being what we are. It is only our
present circumstances that are unwelcome."
|
|
|
Io cringes slightly, a seeminglly
apologetic gesture.
|
|
|
Io:
(sorry
i keep talking.)
|
vonel:
(( it's okay, was going to ask any
way if it was okay to wrap it up here for the day. I've been really
tired all day and I still need to amke something for dinner. ))
|
|
Io:
(Ah,
okay. Yeah, if you need to end it, you need to end it. I'm not
interested in forcing people to be here.)
|
=^v^=:
(( I mean we have omnious metal grate
and a key for it now and a not plan but an idea for a plan etc ))
Riot:
(( That's okay with me, eat and get
some sleep and feel better ))
=^v^=:
(( so like, if we are done with the
current conversation i'm not against it ))
|
|
Io:
(Yeah.
it's pretty easy for me to set things up from here.)
|
|
|
Io:
(Go
feel better, Von.)
|
=^v^=:
(( we had to start a full hour
earlier because of the dumbest of reasons ))
|
|
Io:
(It is
pretty dumb, yes.)
|
Riot:
(( maybe two final eps of Arcane
tomorrow ))
|
|
vonel:
Okay
then, night all
|
|
|
Io:
(Provided
I'm feeling right and such, yeah, love to. Night!)
