Session Start: Thu Jun 27 02:45:02 2002 *** Topic is 'Grandia: New Horizons | Chapter 34.2: Megalude | Location: Shoretown, Cereshanti, July 16, night | Crappy GrandiaRPG summary/primer at http://whafroofdeath.rpgcafe.net/temp/grandiarpg.html | Lude End' ==In doing of enaction that is Lude being that is to beginning!== Morning has broken, one that Feray almost didn't expect to see. The sun is peeking into her window, but has not yet reached her bed. Birds can be heard chirping quietly through the closed window. She has been resting for quite some time now in peace, and has only recently awoken, as her body reminds her that she has not eaten in some time, although she is a bit too snug to want to leave her bed so soon. * Feray squints sleepily and brushes her hand across her eyes. She stretches upwards with a hearty yawn....before her stomach growls like a beast and she quickly slouches back down into her blankets, touching her slender stomach with a light hand. "...ugh...so hungry....but...can't move my legs..." * Feray eyes the door curiously and looks for something to throw. She finds one of her ruined boots. Hefting it, she takes aim... (As if on cue, there is a knock at the door) * Feray squeaks and fumbles with the boot! O_o Ack! (From outside) Feray? You OK in there? * Feray blushes and grabs the boot, putting it in her lap firmly. "Sure. Come in already, crabmeat!" * Nathan opens the door, and backs into the room carrying something. He uses his foot to kick the door closed, and turns around. He is in fact, carrying a tray of breakfast goodies from the kitchen. Thought you might be hungry ^_- * Feray brightens noticeably and then looks down at the boot in her lap. She blushes a little more, backing her ears. She then gets a playful grin. "Yeah. I was just about to eat this here boot." * Feray waggles the boot before dropping it off the side of the bed. * Nathan chuckles and walks over, setting the tray down in front of Feray I'm sure you'll find this a tad less leathery ^_- Mmm......you're a life saver, handsome ^_- I try ^_^ * Feray reaches out to snag some toast and tentively bites into it before hurriedly munching it down. Her stomach makes a plaintive gurgle that almost sounds like 'more!' and she complies. * Nathan sits down in a chair and just watches for a while, figuring that Feray will be occupied for a bit Good, you're hungry. That's an excellent sign of recovery ^_^ * Feray nods and hurriedly clears most of the tray before freezing. She looks at Nate almost meekly and holds out a tangerine to him, mumbling around some crackers. "....mmomh smoom?" No thanks, I think you need it more than I do after your ordeal. Besides, I had one to eat while I was prepping this for you. I'll get something later on. But I appreciate the offer nonetheless ^_^ So you eat up :) * Feray swallows and flashes Nate a hearty grin for being so sweet before proceeding to skin the tangerine. "So how're things on the outside? Are all men as amazingly goodlooking as you? What amazing technological developments have they made while I've been barred in this dingy old room?" Hrm, well, I think the development of the left-handed washtub is still underway, and the village hasn't burst into flames yet, and the men seem to have as many arms and legs as I do, or least that's what I surmise ;) Hmm....the village hasn't burst into flames yet? Wow, I need to get better really quickly then...we're behind schedule! * Nathan stands up and walks over to the window. He looks out for a moment, then draws it Very true ;) But actually, there's a reason why I came here. Other than bringing you breakfast this morning * Feray stretches back on her pillows and raises a slender eyebrow at Nate. She pauses before popping a tangerine slice into her mouth. Swallowing it down easily, she speaks her curiousity. "Uhh...oh....really? Does it involve ice cubes?" * Nathan goes to sit back down, and takes a deep breath to calm himself a bit No, but it does involve someone who we've all given icy stares to lately * Feray frowns noticably at that and seems almost...disappointed? She clears her throat. "Oh?" I ran into Emmitt this morning while I was running about. Or actually, he found me .... * Feray unconsciously squeezes the remaining tangerine. Oddly, he was there to give me some...advice *tight voice* ....oh? Like what, how to assault women in dark alleyways? No, he actually wanted to...give me some advice on...erm...how to woo you for your affections .... * Feray twitches once and the tangerine idly explodes in her hand. * Feray coughs a little and puts the mangled remains down, wiping her hand casually. * Nathan closes an eye as his face is assaulted with tangerene mush * Feray blinks and stares as tangerine bits run down Nate's face. ....ah... * Feray bursts into laughter! * Nathan grins, and wipes the mush off his face ;) A...ahem. Anyway. What did the slime have to say? He also went out of his way to insinuate that I could never win you over, because I...how did he put it? Oh yeah, I wasn't "Man" enough. Whatever that means. Hmph. Yeah right....you're more a man than he'll ever be. I always thought being a man or a woman was more of a yes/no thing than an ammount, but whatever. I'll take that as a compliment :) * Feray blushes slightly. "Uh, well, you're welcome." n fact, he was so confident, he decided to give me every 'secret' he had about you and what you liked most, and urged me to try every one, because he... *pauses a second* ...he said that now that you were well, you wouldn't have to settle for whatever man was willing to love you in your moment of sickness. And that you'd move on to someone 'better' .... He told me to go ahead and use everything he had given me, because it wouldn't do any good in the end * Feray scowls now and a fire darkens her silver gaze. "You know, I think that when I see him next I'll kick him really hard between the legs. With a big, stone boot. That's not true, Nate!" * Nathan holds up a hand, "I know, beleive me, I knew that he was just spouting nonsense." Hmph. You better've, crabmeat. Or else I give you way too much credit. ^_- Please, I'm a merman, not a rat I did decide to take his advice, just to shut him up. However...I'm going to listen to those nagging doubts I have, and do the smart thing You're going to tell me you stabbed him in the groin? With a blunt rock? Repeatedly? Couldn't. You and Erel have dibs on injuring him, remember? ;) * Feray snorts a little and gets a wry grin. "Oh yeah. Whoops. Alright...what's the smart thing?" * Nathan grins and leans a little closer to Feray, "I'm going to check with you first, and see just what kind of 'advice' I got." * Feray blinks at Nate's increased closeness but also leans a little closer, gazing at him playfully. "Smart man. What'd he say?" Here's what I got from Emmitt... * Nathan ticks off items on his fingers as he mentions them, "I was to invite you to an underground, lit cavern to have a picnic of lightly grilled yellowtail and Kava Kava tea, present you with a gift of jungle roses, and serenade you with singing and music from a lute." * Feray stares blankly for a moment. * Feray leans back quietly, her eyebrows threatening to hit the ceiling. Now, my questions is, do you REALLY like any of that? Well. Let's see. I'm afraid of enclosed spaces. They make me panick and have trouble breathing and all that fun stuff. A cavern underground would be like a tomb, probably. And I really, really, really hate yellowtail. It makes me sick. In-bed-for-a-week sick. Kava Kava...that's a herb......a sleeping herb. It can be used to put oxen and other farm animals asleep on their feet. Also, I'm allergic to jungle roses. I sneeze like mad, I get itchy all over... * Feray jabs a finger at Nate, her tone faintly amused. "And the last person to serenade me with that -horrid- excuse for an instrument ended up wearing it as a hat." Hrmph, so Emmitt was trying to make trouble after all. I should have guessed... * Nathan 's face splits into an evil grin, "Perrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect" >D * Feray blinks and drops her hand, uttering a soft laugh. "That look makes you a completely different person. What're you thinking?" What do you say we give Emmitt a taste of his own manipulative medicine? ^_- ....I'm liking this more and more. What do you propose, my evil but quite sexy suitor? ^_- He wants to see me prostrated in front of you with everything you hate, I say we give him what he wants ^_- *** DooM_GazE is now known as DooM_Fixing_Parents_Compy * Feray raises both eyebrows. "......ten naked women, Erel and some jelly?" Nah, something he'll enjoy MUCH less ;) * Nathan leans closer to Feray, and starts whispering the beginnings of his plan to her * Feray grins wider and leans forth to listen attentively.. ^_- * Nathan finishes his initial proposal, and waggles his eyebrows at Feray ^_^ If we can make this work, it'll drive him nuts ;) ....you know.....I liked you a lot before...but now I like you even more. This is great, Nathan.. ^_- I'll have to figure out some specifics, but I think this town has everything I'll need. And if I'm obvious enough about it, Emmitt will catch on to my 'preparations' ;) And I'm sure he won't want to miss a chance to see his joke on us fullfilled ;) * Feray laughs and reaches out to tap Nate fondly on the nose with a finger. "Very good. Does this mean I have to get inside a small, tiny cave, though?" ^^; Hmm...I don't see much of a way around that, so we may have to pass on that. But the rest I bet we can fudge without too much trouble Still good. ^_- Should I expect to be swept off my feet soon, then, o'sexy crabman? *eyebrow waggle* I'll get the supplies and prepare for our little 'date', set it all up, and then all you have to do is act like its the best thing since sliced bread >;) * Feray pauses and snickers. She leans back to eye Nate with sort of a sly look now, realizing something. ...you know. I can't walk. You'll have to actually literally sweep me off my feet. And carry me. How...romantic. ^_- * Feray flashes a fangy grin. Oooh, twist my arm why doncha? ^_- If that's your arm, I'm a lucky girl ^_- Alright, go, go.....make things pretty for me, my lovely! ^_- At once, my huntress! ^_^ * Nathan stands, and bows But before I go, did you have enough to eat? * Feray chuckles and picks up a nottoosmushed tangerine bit, popping it into her mouth and chewing happily. Oh, yeah. I'm all full now. ^_- Marvelous ^_^ Thanks for that. It was sweet of you. ^^ My pleasure ^_^ * Nathan blows a kiss to Feray, "I'll be back soon. Until then, mum's the word." ^_- * Feray snuggles into her pillows and watches Nate with a playful grin. "My full, luscious lips are sealed." * Nathan returns to the shade and raises it a little, then heads out the door with a grin ^_^ * Feray shakes her head and sits back to await her 'date', wiggling a bit with eagerness before forcing herself to settle down and reaching out to grab her boot again, eyeing it with wry dismay at the bloody mess it is. ==In Lude as complete to follow the doing in a way that is to be done with!==
