Session Start: Tue Jul 02 19:14:33 2002 *** GMAmy changes topic to 'Grandia: New Horizons | Chapter 35.0: The Island of Encos | Location: Cereshanti mountains, July 16, late morning | Crappy GrandiaRPG summary/primer at http://whafroofdeath.rpgcafe.net/temp/grandiarpg.html' ==Session Start== The group is once more together, and the morning mist is almost gone as they continue down the path.... * Dylan hums a tune * Feray trots along, a spring in her step that is likely there due to being up and about. Stupid healers! She casts a glance towards the others as she lopes a little ahead.. * Nathan continues along quietly, worry still etched quite obviously on his face * Erellisae walks alongside Feray, hanging back just slightly and looking nervous, but simultaneously relieved. As Feray rushes ahead, she runs headlong into someone running the opposite direction! Ack! O_o * Feray flails and falls over with a thud! ..? * Erellisae blinks and comes to a stop. "Huh?" ^^; * Mitsuo comes to a stop so quickly, he almost falls over. O_o * Feray looks up from her back on the ground and grunts a bit, her ears backed and blushing. "Gack! O_o " The man falls on his butt, staring at Feray, confused. Hmmm? What now? * Nathan helps Feray back up ...jeez, don't you know how to walk properly? * Feray scowls, nodding a bit to Nate for the hand. She eyes the man. What's the hurry there buddy? The rest of the group may recognize him as the merman from before, a young man clad in...well, very little really, with a shark's tooth necklace and a loincloth.... * Jalanda lifts her head slightly, having remained quite silent for the trip so far. Oh...You're... O_o Ah, the messenger. * Feray rakes her gaze over the young man and really has no idea who he is because she was asleep when the rest met him. She arches an eyebrow. His shoulder-length, pale-blue hair hangs loose, except for two braids in front of either ear. His eyes are pale green-gold as he glowers at Feray. * Nathan levels a flat gaze at the merman * Feray glowers back, baring her teeth a little in a wicked grin. The man turns his glare on Nathan. "Any luck? The villagers are safe for now. But the Angler draws closer." Ms. Feray's luck with mermen is most disturbing The villagers are away. We have a plan to deal with the Angler The merman arches an eyebrow at Feray, listening to Dylan. "Oh?" ....he's a merman? Well heck. See, this is what I get for almost dying....I'm all out of the loop.. * Erellisae nods, stepping forward. "We're gonna check something out now... we might have a way to stop the big fish-thing." ^^; * Mitsuo suddenly gets a michevious grin, and whispers something to Feray. Sho-raoo stands, brushing himself off. "What is your plan?" * Feray's ear twitches a bit towards Mitsuo. The guidance of the spirits leads us to a focus upon Encos Isle. Well... there's an... ancient race's island to the north, and apparently there's an artifact there that'll help. According to local legend, anyway. So we get to go recover it. ^^; * Feray's eyebrows slowly begin to reach her hairline. * Feray suddenly bursts out laughing! * Jalanda intones slowly, "Yes, it would seem we are fortunate... on an island near here rests an ancient ore left by Angelou ancestors. It may hold unique properties that can render the Angler vulnerable for a time." * Mitsuo steps back and grins. ^^ * Feray hurridly smothers it in her fist and casts Mitsuo a wickedly delighted grin. We might be able to deal with the Angler with it So that's what we're pinning our hopes on now * Feray coughs a bit and gazes at the new merman in faint amusement, her hostility gone now and replaced by curiousity. Sho-raoo nods to Erellisae and Nathan, looking doubtful, but it's obvious there's no other choice. Would you like to accompany us? [Sho-raoo] I will come with you, then. Are you returning to the village to resupply for the journey? * Jalanda nods. "...It is the way it must be. We head now to the Isle of Encos... if you know a way to aid us in this endeavor, please speak, noble man of the sea." * Feray grins at the pretty merman. "We could always use more crabmen." No, we need to do this as quickly as possible. Someone else may be trying to take what we're after * Mitsuo shakes his head, "Actually, he's a dolphin." [Sho-raoo] Hmmm. I know not, but if you visit an island, perhaps one more who knows and loves the sea may help. *he glances at Nathan distrustfully* He's...a dolpin? Ooo.. The merman blinks at Feray. "Crabmen...?" * Feray flashes Nate an amused look, wondering if he can change into a dolphin as well. * Erellisae blinks, and rubs her forehead slightly, looking down. "And I'd forgotten about Emmitt... rrg... I get first dibs, remember." * Nathan shakes his head at Feray * Feray loses her grin at the mention of Emmitt and scowls. We should ensure we have all our battle equipment, first. And perhaps a small craft to get ot the isle Sho-raoo nods, glancing down the path toward town. With a shrug, he heads off without waiting for the others. * Dylan rolls his eyes *** SOLaike has joined #grandia Hunh. Friendly bunch, these merfolks. ^_- Decisive chap, at least. * Nathan resumes walking, feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden * Feray hurriedly trails after the merman and catches up to him in a few strides, obviously intent on playing with him. We do have time, by the protector's words, but it should not be wasted. Do what you need to do, there could be much danger waiting for us. * Erellisae shrugs faintly with a lopsided grin, hurrying off after Feray. ^^ Hopefully not in the town though, Jalanda. I wish nothing worse than a stubbed toe amongst such friendly people So...is there a story behind that shark tooth necklace, handsome? ^_- * Feray grins and walks backwards, looking at the merman curiously. ^^ * Mitsuo follows the rest of the group, watching the back. The merman glances at Feray, giving her a questioning look while not slowing his pace. * Feray motions to the shark tooth necklace. "Decoration or trophy?" [Sho-raoo] I killed it on a dare once. *He shrugs* Is there a story to THAT? *Gestures to her leather getup with a scowl* Y'know, mermen often seem scared of Feray.. * Feray laughs and grins. "Oh come on. You're poking at my outfit and you're wearing basically the same?" Very defensive. Any insights, Nate? . o O (Please don't get angry, please don't get angry, please don't get angry...) I don't think he will go out of his way to be social, if that's what you mean ...He just needs some cowmerbabies or something. * Mitsuo snickers. ^^ He shrugs again. "That is my point. Why does it matter what I am wearing? Why do you care, surface dweller?" * Jalanda nods to Dylan carefully, slowly following the general flow of humanity in that direction * Nathan slides a warning glance at Mitsuo, indicating that poking fun at Sho-raoo may not be the best idea I care because I'm making conversation and merfolk intrigue me. Call it natural interest in your people. *slides her gaze to Nate just briefly before grinning at Sho-raoo* Seriously. I mean no offense. I'm just being friendly. * Erellisae walks along reasonably briskly, but not paying attention to much, looking rather spaced out. * Mitsuo coughs, and decides to just shut up before he causes more trouble. ^^; Sho-raoo stares at her for a bit, then says stiffly, "Forgive me if I have difficulty returning the sentiment." * Feray nods slightly and quirks a wry grin before poking his shoulder just softly. "You're forgiven. It was nice not talking to you, though. You're pretty cool." * Feray winks and drops back beside Erellisae. ^^ * Nathan exhales with some relief Sho-raoo blinks at Feray as she returns to the group, obviously very confused. He shrugs, however, and continues walking. * Feray drapes an arm around her little sis's shoulders and arches an eyebrow at the spaced out expression. She leans down to murmur into the elongated ear so nobody else can hear. "Butterfly for your thoughts, littlebit." * Erellisae blinks, returning to awareness a little as Feray pops up next to her. "... hi." ^^ * Erellisae grins, and looks back at Mitsuo. "Aww... can't you change a price a little? I wanna keep him." ^_~ * Mitsuo , thankfully, did not hear Feray's comments to Erel, and thus is back to watching out for any danger. * Jalanda hmms softly under her hood... * Feray pokes Erel's arm with a finger and grins widely. "Awwww.....that's adorable....now answer my question!" ;) Any idea what we'll find, Ms. Jalanda? * Nathan makes sure to stay well clear of Sho-raoo * Erellisae shrugs faintly with a lopsided smile. "Just a little nervous, I guess. Wondering what we'll find there myself..." ^^; Maybe some wickedly advanced salmon slapper or a trout tickler or... ;) I have a premoniton someone, or something is waiting there for us... * Erellisae sweatdrops slightly. "Oh, yea, and the power of the Lumians was great and almighty." ^^; And unmatched in fish-flinging. ^^; * Feray laughs a bit and messes up Erel's hair with her hand idly. ;) "I'm sure we'll find whatever you're looking for, sis. It'll go okay. Really. After all, what can stand in our way? You know, aside from soul eating giant guppies." Another peice of the ancient's way could open soon enough... * Jalanda glances briefly at Erellisae. * Erellisae nods, grinning faintly. "I know it will. I'm just having trouble believing it." ^^; Yeah well...do so. Or else I'll noogie you. To death. * Feray waggles a fist, releases Erel and dances slightly away on her feet. * Jalanda chuckles just once, and stares up a bit. "Take care to not overstrain yourself just yet Feray." You can tell she's not too serious at that. Are you kidding? I can walk again! The world is my oyster! Up ahead, the road turns around a bend toward the now-deserted village. Sho-raoo has disappeared around the turn ahead of the group... It is mine to farm and hunt as I will! ^_- * Erellisae blinks faintly at Feray, looking baffled. "(m) ... did we swap perky quotient or something...?" ...? * Jalanda lowers her head, to meet her lavendar eyes with Feray's for a moment. "...you've changed. It gladdens my heavy heart to see it." * Nathan continues forward grimly * Erellisae grins slightly, heading after Feray. * Feray quirks a wry grin at Jal briefly. "Thanks." The reach the edge of the buildings in the village to see Sho-raoo standing on tiptoes, investigating the window of a shop. * Nathan goes to see what the merman is interested in He jiggles the handle to the door, blinking as it opens. * Feray twirls and heads for Sho-raoo's side. She clears her throat. "You know....that's bad manners. If there was a naked woman in there, you'd be in a world of pain." Sho-raoo raises an eyebrow. "You underestimate me, surface dweller." He quirks an eyebrow, looking almost amused. Anyway, shall we get our stuff and hurry on? Ms. Erellisae is turning grey with worry about what we'll find. * Mitsuo imagines Erel actually turning gray with worry, and screws his face up at the thought. O_o * Nathan nods, and goes to get his things * Feray grins in return before peering back at Dylan, eyeing the aforementioned cutsey mage. "Yeah...and I'm not sure how much longer I can channel her perkiness without the world exploding." Not gray. Just... mildly orange. ^^; * Jalanda waits near a deserted home, looking at it intently, and a bit sadly. * Feray doesn't move, having all her belongings already. ^^; Grey in the snow, looks like black in the grey. * Erellisae heads for the hut they share, looking for her backpack. ^^ * Nathan returns fairly quickly, most of his things already packed * Feray instead fidgets as if she's been tied up for days, her over abundance of energy rather amusing. She finally settles for kicking a rock into the air with the toe of her boot and keeping it up by kicking it as it falls. * Mitsuo also has most of his belongings on him. * Dylan goes to get the few bulky things he left behind. Sho-raoo stares off into the distance, frowning uncertainly. [Sho-raoo] I feel uneasy. Perhaps it would not be best to venture out into the sea tonight... * Feray pauses in mid kick before snapping the stone out of the air with her hand, wondering if Nate is gonna give the pretty merman a pep talk. We may have to, if we want to stop the Angler before more unnecesary life is taken * Mitsuo glances curiously at Sho-raoo. Huhm...into the sea? We may have to go INTO the sea? Sho-raoo shrugs and makes a vague gesture. "In one of your sea vessels. Boats. Ships." * Erellisae heads back out, hauling her pack onto one shoulder and making sure the Talisman of Knowledge is around her neck. ^^ [Sho-raoo] We always go into the sea. It is how I think of it. * Feray nods slightly, feeling a bit more at ease with a boat. ^^ Feray suddenly feels all wobbly in the knees. :P Her fight with the bear is starting to catch up with her, apparently... * Feray's ears back slightly and she loses some of her cheer. She seemingly nonchalantly leans up against the abandoned building nearest to her....though her legs are twitching and trembling. * Jalanda concentrates a bit. "Your concerns are not unjustified. The sea... brings unpredictable omens with it this night." * Nathan watches Feray, but does not move towards her yet * Erellisae blinks, before heading over to stand beside Feray, just in case. ^^ * Mitsuo frowns just a bit at Feray, but doesn't want to crowd around her or make her feel uncomfy. * Feray glares down at her legs as if annoyed by their continued weakness. She obviously has no concept of healing taking time. She clears her throat, sparing a look to Erel and seeming a bit uncomfortable at her weakness. "So...we ready to go?" I'm ready * Erellisae eyes Feray, waggling a finger. "Not with you hurt! You need a little more time to rest up!" Sho-raoo frowns at Feray. * Jalanda takes a few more steps. "I believe the question is... are you ready to go." ... * Feray scowls, her happy expression vanishing now. I'm fine. See? * Feray pushes off the wall and holds her arms out a bit, standing by herself. [Sho-raoo] Remaining strong in the face of adversity is one thing. Refusing to admit weakness and making yourself more vulnerable to it in the process is another. ... [Sho-raoo] I recommend we stay here a night. In the morning you will be better able to use your skills to protect your friends and to fight the Angler. You will need it. He speaks quite true. The sea is also very inauspicious at this time. You should get rest while you can - and use that determination in the morn. ... Hmm. Think we'll run into bad weather, lady seer? * Feray scowls further and crosses her arms, an ear backed. She seems almost like she feels pitied or like an invalid. She shakes her head slowly. ...alright. But tomorrow we go, whether or not I have to crawl my gimped butt along. ...I do not like the idea of waiting. But I will if I must * Mitsuo bites his lip, but says nothing. * Jalanda turns slightly. "The Angler has disturbed the order of Spirits in it's path... going now could risk unpleasant side effects of it's wake still in the sea." Sho-raoo nods. "I will keep vigil near the shore." He walks off without another word, heading for the beach. * Nathan watches the merman go Nathan, how could Shura have crossed the green sea? That is a very good question * Feray bends to rub her thigh idly before trotting a bit away from the group to flop down at the base of a tree. If you could ask him, for if he cannot answer.. then perhaps he bears watching. * Erellisae approaches Feray, looking suitable chastened. "I'm sorry, sis... I just don't wanna get you hurt again right after you're back with me." ^^; I think I will Be careful, Nathan. * Nathan pursues Sha-raoo I'll watch from he, wave if we need to intervene Perhaps. This is your matter alone Nathan, but we are not far behind. * Feray looks up at Erel through stormy grey eyes for a moment before sucking in a hiss of air. She shakes her head and mumbles. "I'm okay. Really. Legs just won't work sometimes. I don't wanna feel like a child, s'all...." * Nathan waves at the group as he heads for the beach Could the Angler have cut a swath in the goop, Jalanda? * Erellisae sits down next to Feray, hugging her arm a little. "And we're not trying to treat you like one. We're just looking out for you. C'mon, for someone w-who... uhm, well, was out of it for a while, you're doing pretty good. I don't want a relapse." ^^ * Jalanda puts a hand to her chin, considering. "Knowing what I do, if it truly wished to arrive somewhere, then nothing in this world could bar it for long. Even a barreir of the Angelou magics." * Jalanda sighs faintly. * Feray glances at her little sis and utters a soft snort, caving to the younger girl's warm nature. She quirks a faint grin at Erellisae. "I don't think I can relapse, sprite. They pumped me pretty full of herbs between hours of me sleeping." Why is it drawn here though. Stars fall in strange paths for us.. * Mitsuo glances sidelong at Feray. . o O ( ...Just where did they pump these herbs, anyway? O_o ) The brightest stars attract the darkest parts of heaven, seeking to consume their hope... the further we go, the more that may fall before us to reach those skies that wait for us. It is.. a test, I feel. But of course, the results of this are up to our actions. * Erellisae grins faintly. "Well, good! Cuz if they didn't look after you best they could I'd have bopped them! ...hard!" * Feray leans back into the bark of the tree and gazes up at the sky, chuckling. "Ah ha ha....and that's definitely incentive...we Lupris women can sure bop with the best of 'em...." Those who stand in out path shall just become floes we step upon to cross the icy pond of fate. Bop...with the...best? ^^; * Dylan blinks at Feray * Feray blinks in the sunlight and casts Mitsuo a more happier grin, reassured that nobody thinks she's a CRIPPLE. "Take that as you may, Mitsu. Especially regarding certain tiny mage women." * Feray waggles an eyebrow. That sounded like an inclusive we. But I thought Ms. Erellisae was unrelated to you.. * Erellisae giggles, and eyes Mitsuo, talking to Feray quite loud enough for Mitsuo to hear. "Speaking of which, I think I need to go beat up Mitsuo til he tells me why /he's/ being all silent and broody today." ^_~ I am not broody! I am thinking! * Mitsuo waggles his finger. ^_- * Feray snorts softly at Erel and nudges the younger woman, her gaze still on Mitsuo. "Go on and do it, littlebit. You know what they say about -thinking-! It's bad for you!" * Jalanda nods to Dylan. "Yes... every step only strengthens the resolve when the other side is reached." She pauses, listening to the emerging conversation. * Feray tilts her head towards Dylan. Thinking helps us grow! * Erellisae grins back, getting to her feet and sidling comically towards Mitsuo, a gleam in her eyes. >D Aah! C'mon! ^^;; And she is related to me by way of ancient bloodline tradition now. As marked by the tattooes I placed on her wrists... Feray and Erellisae have forged a great bond. It is one of sisters bound not by blood, but still of one heart. Ah, I see, that old chestnut. You could have annouced it, we could have celebrated. And gotten drunk. * Feray laughs ;) * Erellisae pounces Mitsuo, noogying the taller boy as she grins a rather fangy grin. "C'mon you! Laugh and be HAPPY!" >D I was a bit too busy trying not to seizure myself into oblivion...though getting drunk IS encouraging. Aaaghh! ^^;; * Mitsuo flails! Mitsuo, I'd advise doing as she says, the only people more stubborn that our tribe's women, are those they declare sisters. * Feray grins. He has a point, he does. ;) * Mitsuo laughs, "Stop! Stop! I'm ticklish up there!" * Dylan sits down on the ground, and starts juggling three apples. I have a very senstive head...I...graaah! * Erellisae lets go, eying Mitsuo with a grin. "That... was really dumb, to tell me that." Erellisae immediately pounces again, going for the tickle rather than the noogy. ^_~ Reminds me of my childhood... *sigh* C'mon Dill, have a snack. * Feray snorts and watches the festivities, seeming a bit more relaxed.. ^^ * Mitsuo doesn't really say anything anymore, at least nothing intelligent. He mostly sputters and laughs uncontrollably. ^^: * Dylan watches as the puffy tries to snatch fruit mid-air, laughing quietly Some of the party wakes early, anxious to be on their way, but others do not. A handful of loud snores can be heard from the inn as the sun climbs higher in the sky.... :P . o O (I hope we don't get fish flung at us again) * Nathan is up early, but looks like he slept little * Dylan looks out the window, staring out across the sea * Feray is curled up in the common room of the Inn on a table bench, back against a wall. Her head is tilted back, resting against the wall. She breathes deeply and looks as if she's been SWIMMING, her clothes still damp. * Feray sleeps happily. ^_^ * Erellisae is snoozing lightly on Feray's arm, her hair also straggled and unkempt, dress looking like it's been wrung out. ^^; * Mitsuo looks like he fell asleep in one of the oversized chairs in the room, his body contorted into a rather uncomfy position. * Cassidy is sprawled in her bed, pillow stuffed in her face to stifle any potential snoring. Her arms and legs poke out from underneath the covers at ungainly angles. * Morning Dylan Hrrrrmmm. Come on yuo two! Up and at 'em * Feray snaps her eyes open and there's just a trace of a dark circle under them. She tilts her head down to eye Dylan darkly. No talk. Sleep now. * Erellisae shifts slightly, muttering a brief "nnh... agreed..." before shifting again and going back to sleep. * Feray wraps her arm around Erel protectively and snrfs softly before closing her eyes again. You shouldn't let your sister sleep in wet clothes, she'll catch her death of cold, and that goes for both of you! Mmrrfh. *sleepy mumble* ...housewife. Housegroom, please. * Nathan nibbles on a piece of toast Any toast left, Nate? Yup * Erellisae mrrfs again, murmuring slightly incoherently. "Not wet. Just damp now. Someone threw me inna river. I good now. Sleep now." She shifts again, evidently not at full wakefulness. ^^; Sho-raoo pokes his head in the door, sniffing experimentally. * Dylan swallows a few slices of toast, and coughs loudly * Feray squints now, awakened for good due to the people who continue to chatter. She looks down at the blonde head and mumbles. "Y'deserved it." Whatever you want, cousin, I'll just tell whoever's on Encos you're too busy to meet them. * Jalanda is looking at a picture frame, one that holds a picture of the fled innkeeper's family. * Feray rubs her eyes with her free hand and wiggles an unchallenged leg towards some of the toast. She whimpers plaintively. "Too...far..." * Erellisae mrfs, sitting up slightly and looking highly unimpressed at her hair, which is trying rather harder than normal to eat her head and sticking out all over. Bad Feray, no foot in toast. * Nathan reaches over and hands Feray some toast * Dylan starts brewing some coffee.. * Feray casts Nate a warm smile for that and snaps the toast in half, offering some to her rumpled younger sister. "Here. Compliments of the handsome crabman." Sho-raoo sidles in through the door and edges over to the breakfast table. He pokes a piece of toast with a finger. "What...is this?" It's burnt, baked, crushed, soaked, grass. It's food In reverse order of application. Sho-raoo blinks oddly, then takes a piece and nibbles it. "Surface dweller food?" He chews thoughtfully. "Needs salt. Perhaps some seaweed. But not bad." * Erellisae accepts it gratefully, gnawing away at it rather hungrily and eying the room, in particular the prone form of Mitsuo. "... first he tells me he's ticklish. Then he falls asleep in the room. I thought /I/ had no common sense." ^_~ It has its moments Sho-raoo nods and munches in silence. * Feray stuffs the other half in her mouth and chews hungrily, swallowing it down....she looks towards Mitsuo's slumbering form as well. "You should go wake him up. You know, while he's all unprotected and vulnerable. ...er, I mean, there and stuff." Toast is better in the cold. * Jalanda turns away from the photo with a degree of sorrow. "...such a tragedy, that day." * Feray turns her gaze onto Nate and raises an eyebrow at the handsome mergodman. * Erellisae starts to stalk over towards Mitsuo, a gleam in her eyes, before she looks back to Feray plaintively. "... aww. But he's sleeping so peacefully. I'll feel all guilty!" ^_~ Hmm, what was that, Jalanda? * Feray blinks and speaks without looking to Erel. "Guilt passes but touchy feely goodness lasts forever." * Nathan is otherwise preoccupied with his thoughts * Feray grins slightly. * Feray snags a piece of toast and tears a block of crust off. She aims slightly and then flicks it at Nate's forehead! * Jalanda walks over, fixing her robe around her shoulders. "It's... nothing. We shouldn't wait here too much longer." * Nathan is assaulted by toast fragments, and glances in Feray's direction Why so cheerful, handsome? * Erellisae hmms for a moment, eying Feray then Mitsuo in turn. "Weeeellll... you're right." Promptly, she gives Mitsuo a sudden rib-poke and tickle. ^_~ * Cassidy nuzzles deeper, resisting the call of day. * * Mitsuo snrks and bolts up right, startled o_O Whawhawha? O_o Hm? Just thinking about home, that's all Sho-raoo has finished his toast and is standing by the door anxiously looking out. If you're sure, Jalanda. But remember that we are in this together. Should I drag Ms. Cassidy out of bed? * Feray straightens now that she's free of the weight of the little mage girl. She leans over towards Nate slightly and arches an eyebrow. "Good thoughts or bad?" Allow me, if you would. * Erellisae grins down at Mitsuo. "C'mon, time to wake up." ^^ Nugh...Already...? Okay...ow...my back... Both actually * Mitsuo sits up and rubs it, trying to get the kinks out. Would I stand in the way of a ladie's desire? * Dylan grins Well....try not to brood so hard, huh? You look like you're about to implode or something...loosen up....do I need to go over there and give you a patented Lupris backrub? * Feray waggles an eyebrow. Maple syrup optional, of course. * Erellisae sweatdrops and blinks as looking down then straightening up causes her hair to once again attack her head. "... see... this is why I shouldn't fall in rivers so often." --; * Nathan forces a grin, "I will. I think I'll be too busy for brooding today." * Jalanda echoes the sentiment with a small smile. "Ever the gentlemen." * Jalanda departs towards where Cassidy is resting and watches her a moment before giving the sleeping soldier a small shove. * Mitsuo stands up, then blinks at Erel, "...You're wet! o_O" * Mitsuo just blurts this out, mind you. * Cassidy offers up a somewhat muffled reply from underneath the pillow. * What? * Feray jabs a finger at Nate. "I'll meet you with some syrup later, handsome. You bring the marshmellows. I'll work that tension right outta you." * Nathan chuckles a bit I'll mark my calendar ;) * Erellisae nods, trying to push some hair out of the way of her eyes. "I got dumped in a river. I'm drying off slowly." She holds up a wrist: her tattoos are glowing a faint red. ^^ You better. I'm worth it. ^_- Agreed ^_^ My apologies, Cassidy, but we're to be leaving soon for Encos to seek the ore. I would not wish for you to miss it. * Feray grins and flicks another piece of toast at Nate playfully. * Nathan raises an eyebrow as he's assulted again Er...well... * Mitsuo tugs at his cape, pulling it off and draping it over Erel's shoulders, "This should help." * Feray looks cheerful again today, though not as overexcited as she seemed yesterday...the energy seems to have been drained a bit. She instead just casts him a warm promising grin and then looks towards Erel and Mitsuo. * Feray singsongs. "Ahhh....sweet, young love..." * Cassidy sighs. * Fine.. I'll be down in a bit.. * Erellisae mutters. "Shame the Lumians never came up with a blowdry-and-comb spell." --; She blinks at Mitsuo again, "...but... it's yours..." before turning /red/ and eying Feray. ^^;; * Mitsuo blushes, "Bu...but I didn't want her to get cold!" Ohhh...the sheer warm fuzzies of it all! It warms my cold, barren huntress' heart! * Feray swoons dramatically, posing. ;) * Nathan chortles * Erellisae flails at Feray, looking flustered. ^^;;; * Mitsuo hides his face as best he can, "...Didn't want her to get cold!" Of course ;) * Feray grins wickedly. "Oh sure. Well, you know, they say body heat is the best way to keep each other warm..." Very true ^_^ * Mitsuo grumblemumbles --; * Feray takes the grumble as a sign to stop and instead relaxes into a fond grin. "Anyway. Now that I've exhausted my rights to teasing..." * Jalanda nods and heads back down to join the others.. Goodnatured teasing, might I add. ^_- Bleh... ^^; ...is Cass on her way, Jal? * Erellisae hangs her head, covering her face with a protective barrier of mussed hair and looking small, before looking up and eying Feray with a toothy grin. "Man, what's a little sister to do? Except remember all this and get you back." ^_~ * Nathan finishes all of the toast he seems intent to, and gets ready to leave * Feray blinks and eyes Erel with a wry grin. "I'll be waiting, littlebit." * Feray hops up off the bench and brushes herself down with her hands slightly. ^^ Yes... if you all are well-rested, then we should make our final preparations. The time has arrived. * Erellisae grins, and turns to Mitsuo with a greateful smile, hugging the cape around her. "Thanks, Mits. This, uh, seems to be a habit." ^^; Sho-raoo clears his throat. "Will you be ready to leave soon?" ^^; ^^; Yeah, I noticed. It's no problem though. Yes, we will Sure thing, good lookin'! Just as soon as the slower members of our group get their butts in gear ;) * Cassidy tromps down the stairs, sword slung over her shoulder and backpack in one hand, looking not the happiest to have been dragged out of bed so soon. * * Erellisae smiles, then nods. "Yep. Let's go get whatever the Lumians left for us. I wager a really /big/ version of the fish flinger, made specially for the Angler." ^^ * Mitsuo imagines such a thing. O_o ...Whoa. That's just messed up. * Nathan hefts his pack and stands by the door * Feray waggles her fingers in greeting to Cass. "Heya. Have some toast, cheerful." ^^ * Erellisae waggles a finger at Mitsuo. "But effective!" She hauls her pack onto one shoulder, and waits. ^^ * Feray adjusts her belt and sheath and heads over by Nate's side.. ^^ True, but what would it do if it really existed? It'd just fling the fish to somewhere else. It'd be like...a really annoying reletive. You tell them to go away, but they show up later to annoy you and suck out your soul. * Cassidy gives an acknowledging nod to Feray, dropping down into her chair. She lets out a big yawn, stretching, and then sets her head down on the table with a quiet thud. * Mmm.. If you've itchy feet, or fins, or whatever, you could scout out the route. Ready to kick spiritual fish butt? Sho-raoo nods to Dylan and heads out the door. You kidding me, crabmeat? This is playtime! ^_- * Erellisae ponders with a hmm. "Maybe it flings it into space?" ^^ Nate? The verdict? I hope you're right. Being wrong will be an unpleasant experience this time * Nathan blinks at Dylan * Feray grins at Nate slightly before heading to Cass and poking in the head. "Wakey wakey. Come on. We need to follow the scantily clad merbutt." On Sharu Hmm...space fish. Maybe! ^_~ Apparently, there is a way underneath the heavy water we passed through. A narrow underwater cavern no less He used that to get here * Cassidy waves a dismissive hand, before getting back to her feet. * Hmm. You believe him? Of course * Erellisae yawns slightly, picking at her dress. "... remind me after this to get some new clothes. Ones that mean I won't trip over and stab myself, too." ^^; * Feray trots past Erel, pausing to remark. "Loincloth!" * Feray then heads for the door. * Mitsuo overhears what Feray says and...blushes? I do not believe mermen to be liars... let us leave it at that for now, as we do have other much greater concerns. * Erellisae blinks, then sweatdrops heavily. "I... doubt I have the build..." ^^; She shakes her head with a grin, before heading out after her. Fair enough. Once our sleepy heads are ready, we'll be off then? I probably got a pair of shorts you could borrow, Erel. Shorts work pretty well. They're comfy, and easy to wear. * Nathan nods to Dylan, then heads out the door * Feray snorts softly at the mention of shorts, saying something about 'weird overclothed people' as she heads out the door! * Erellisae looks back. "Hmm... tempted, but we'd better get going. I'll be good for today, we're heading back towards a big load of damp anyway." ^^; * Nathan looks impatient to leave Let's go folks, the Angler won't wait up for us ya know * Feray pops her head back in the door and casts Nate an impish grin. Hey, you're the slow one here, fishboy. Yeah...let's go. By the way... Hrmph, maybe Let us step forth bravely, and return to a busy and peopled village. ...if we're going underwater for any amount of time....will I need one of those air giving kisses of life? ^_- * Erellisae heads out the door. "Time to go see what the folks left for me." ^^; * Feray grins and ducks back out again. * Jalanda strides to the door, looking back once to the picture she was staring at from before. "That is my wish as well." * Nathan raises an eyebrow, then grins Only if you ask VERY nicely ;) If you want to kiss him, Feray, just half-nelson him and take it, like is traditional * Mitsuo laughs a bit. ^^; * Nathan chuckles, and heads out after Feray * Dylan herds the group, including the oddly quiet Mikari, off to the future. ==Session End== *** GMAmy changes topic to 'Grandia: New Horizons | Chapter 35.0: The Island of Encos | Location: Cereshanti, July 17, morning | Crappy GrandiaRPG summary/primer at http://whafroofdeath.rpgcafe.net/temp/grandiarpg.html | Session End' Session Close: Tue Jul 02 21:33:06 2002
