<Mary_jane`^> "Jabberwock?"
<AlcarGM> Gabe nods. "It's .. big. Clawed. Eyes of ... flame, of a kind. They don't go to real worlds often, just .. soul places. Feeding on power, growing on it. Getting bigger. Like ... guards dogs. But worse:"
<Mary_jane`^> "Who do they guard?"
<AlcarGM> Gabe: "Whoever's soul they're in, from everything. Even that person, if they are made to. My grandfather made that one. I can feel it behind us, waiting.... " He shivers. "And if I saw it, and you weren't here... I might have just .. given up."

<Mary_jane`^> "What?"
<AlcarGM> Nora: "High heels are so ... boring."
* Mary_jane`^ shrugs and walks up and down "I think they're great, I mean... I bet I could run a few miles in these things and still feal great... They're almost magical." (( They'd have to be to not break after all the abuse people put them through ))
<AlcarGM> (( do you want your pair to be red? :) ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( Why do you ask? ))
<AlcarGM> (( red ruby slippers! You could put a teleport spell on them by clicking your heels together three times.... ))

Quote 7510

<Mary_jane`^> "Ok, now Gabe... You need something stylish, and less functional... THat's pretty easy for women's shoes..."
* Mary_jane`^ goes to the men's section and grabs a pair of leathers "These look nice."
<AlcarGM> Gabe: "Uhm.. they're a bit expensive..."
* Mary_jane`^ looks at the price
<AlcarGM> :p
<AlcarGM> Gabe: "I mean, it's not like I'll use them."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "Perfect. Then they won;'t wear out," wandering over with 4 boxes. "But you should get runners too. Just tell people you're going to be in the marathon."
<Mary_jane`^> "You don't know Nora like I do... She'll consider it an insult if you don't spend as much money as you possibly can.. She has a thing against her dad, I think."
* Mary_jane`^ bites her lip, trying not to laugh and glad she's looking at gabe's feet trying to fit the shoes

<AlcarGM> Nora: "how should I know? Pick something strange."
* Mary_jane`^ hands Gabe a box "OK! next store!"

<AlcarGM> <AlcarGM> Nora: "Exactly. We could go for a walk in the park, or take on the whole Aztec exhibit at the cultural museum (Mom's on some board for it, only reason I know about it) .. or something, at least."
<AlcarGM> was the end of last session. You have shopped, and eaten lunch.
<Mary_jane`^> "Err... Museum... No.. How about... A movie."
<AlcarGM> (( awww :p ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( It's supposed to be a DAY OFF ))
<AlcarGM> (( it COULD just be a normal museum ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( Do you know what happened, the LAST time a pc went to a musium in your game ))

<AlcarGM> You are just finishing up the fun(?) of math when Jacob simple appears in the room without warning. There's a flaming sword in his hand and a small .. head? ... in the other hand. He sees you, blinks, and the sword vanishes.
* Mary_jane`^ blinks at him
<Mary_jane`^> "Something... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" perhaps too loud
<AlcarGM> Jacob: "Is something.... Oh." A flick of red aura and the head is gone, melted. "A weapon of the other angel. She is in Paris and apparently did not wish to talk. At all."

Quote 7515

* Mary_jane`^ kneels down infront of him and looks him over
<AlcarGM> Sal looks about to reply, then actually shows wisdom in not trying.
<AlcarGM> He's exhausted, simply. Whatever reserved he had were definitely burnt out, and the energy you fed barely made a dent. He was definitely in worse shape than he was letting on.
<Mary_jane`^> "You'll probably sleep for a week, but you need it."
<AlcarGM> He tries to say something, likely "I'm okay," but coughs instead. At least there's no blood. That's always god.
<AlcarGM> good, even.
<AlcarGM> Your cell phone rings.
<Mary_jane`^> BLOOD WHEN YOU COUGH IS REALLY GOD!?
* Mary_jane`^ looks at the call ID

<alcar> he still hasn't removed the stupid disguise., btw :)
<Mary_jane`^> "Who told you how to do it?"
<alcar> Ralph: "I'm not telling you," firmly. "You just want our secrets!"
<alcar> (( "our precious...." ))
<alcar> (( with sexual connotations of your choice, of course. ))

Quote 7526

* Mary_jane`^ catches his eye again
<Mary_jane`^> "We can do this the easy way..."
<alcar> Ross: "Get away from ... " and he stops, unable to move. "That's .. not me..."
<alcar> Alex: "What the fuck is this?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Then who is it?"
<alcar> Ralph: "I told you, she's Freyja!"

Quote 7529

<Mary_jane`^> "Ross, just look at me."
<AlcarGM> You're not doing it right now. He's terrified you will.
<AlcarGM> He does, whimpering.
<Mary_jane`^> "You can change this... This doesn't have to be you."
<AlcarGM> Ralph: "What did you do to him?" in a tone somewhere between horror and awe. He's staring at you and the remains of the psyche of one of his friends as if you were a complete stranger
<AlcarGM> You suspect his crush might be over now.
<AlcarGM> Alex is just scared and saying nothing at all.
<Mary_jane`^> forget them, I'm busy with ross =p
<AlcarGM> Ross says nothing. Whatever he saw when he really saw himself definitely broke something.
<AlcarGM> (( Ways to stop annoying friend from having crush on you #237: Show one of his friends the truth about himself and make the friend watch. ))

Quote 7530

<Mary_jane`^> "You don't have to be that way, you can change."
<AlcarGM> Ross: "I can only be me," slowly, stumbling over the words. "No one else. No - no one else. No one ... special ..."he hugs himself and starts rocking in place.
<Mary_jane`^> (( You're going to make this more difficult than it should be, aren't you? ))
* Mary_jane`^ closes her eyes and breathes deep
<AlcarGM> (( Uhm. Make what difficult? You showed him who he really was. It's a wonder he's not dead :p ))
<Mary_jane`^> "Ross... The fae are an illusion. You can't be one of them."
<Mary_jane`^> (( See! You ARE making it difficult ))
<AlcarGM> Ross: "Ross is just an illusion to," as he rocks. "He thinks he's special and unique and better than other people and he's just a conceited asshole who wants to get into his sister's pants."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "I vote we pretend we never heard that."

Quote 7531

<AlcarGM> lol.

Quote 7532

<Mary_jane`^> "Let's see... we need to go to somewhere with a christian history... WHere's that?"
<AlcarGM> Nora: "I can't think of a place without it.... uhm ..... middle ages?"
<Mary_jane`^> "What about the exibits for the middle eastern territory... Let's try there..."
<AlcarGM> Okay. You make your way to the thrid floor, which houses the middle east, but not Israel for political reasons.
<Mary_jane`^> damnit
<Mary_jane`^> so where's israel?
<AlcarGM> The air feels ... strange as you go up. Like there's a pressure around you, building as you go higher.
<Mary_jane`^> oh... that works too
<Mary_jane`^> Hrm...
<AlcarGM> (( second floor, beside the USA. Along with the Phillipines and cuba. One of the designers was a political studies major :p ))

Quote 7533

<AlcarGM> The security guard looks up at you and blue lights flares in his eyes. "You have come," he says in a woman's voice, quiet and assured. "That is good."
<Mary_jane`^> "It's ok... we can use mundane tactics... Ok... I'll seduce the guard, everyone else go inside while he's bussy."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "Seems you already did...."
<Mary_jane`^> "indeed..."
<AlcarGM> "He defiles Mictlan," the guard says in the same voice. "He must be punished for his transgressions."
<Mary_jane`^> "Mictlan?"
<AlcarGM> NOra: "I don't like the sound of this. Maybe we can fake a bomb threat and send in a SWAT team?
<AlcarGM> Security Guard: "You would call it Hell."
<Mary_jane`^> "Yeah, that's what we need, more people defiling..."
* Mary_jane`^ hrms
<Mary_jane`^> "Great... I've come... I can't use power... Now..."
* Mary_jane`^ looks around "I have to fix this..."
<AlcarGM> The security guards eyes burn with blue fire. He's drenched in sweat. "He dared translate the book of the dead into klingon," the entity possessing him says in righteous fury.
<Mary_jane`^> ...

Quote 7534

<AlcarGM> The exhibit is dark and cold as the four of you enter. Emergency lighting is on, but not much else. (Conserving electricity, or something more sinister?) You pass exhibits of rare treasure and statues... only to hear voices, from the far end. Strange, hollow whispering, and swiishing... "Ra! Ra! Ra!" the voices chant.
<Mary_jane`^> Great
<Mary_jane`^> the last person we need here is Ra
<Tass> lol!
<Tass> cheerleaders!?
<AlcarGM> yes :)
<AlcarGM> egpytian mummy cheerleaders
<Tass> oh lord, thats why they say ra :P
<AlcarGM> yup :)

Quote 7535

<AlcarGM> You round a corner, trying to be quiet, and see a large open space, eerily similar to your dream. A circle, about 10' wide, drawn with salt and blood. In the middle, surroundede by candles, the wizard is sitting cross legged, chanting in a language you'd never heard. He's painfully thin now, almost all skin and bones, but his power is a living thing around him, cold and deadly.
<AlcarGM> However, what draws your gaze are 4 mummies, mostly rags, dancing togther in unison by the cirlce, saying "Ra!" over and oover, and waving pom poms made out of bandages.
* Mary_jane`^ blinks
<AlcarGM> Nora: "I really hope they're here to stop us," in a horrified voice, "Or I'm going to have some nightmares about his sexual fantasies."
<Mary_jane`^> "Excuse me..."

Quote 7536

<AlcarGM> The wizard is standing slowly, painfully, and leaning on a staff of some white wood for support. He looks like he's either a famine victim or a victim of the atkins diet.
<Mary_jane`^> or both!

Quote 7537

<Mary_jane`^> "Hmm... And how do you get unbound?"
<AlcarGM> Mummy: "Killing the caster breaks the spell," softly.
<AlcarGM> The mummies look at each other. You have the disturbing impression they're smiling. "Do you mean the wizard harm?" one asks, or perhaps they all do.
<Mary_jane`^> "Oh... Not at all."
<AlcarGM> They nods to each other and move aside.

Quote 7538

<AlcarGM> Nora: "Fuck this." She spins and kicks a display case containing a vase, glass shattering.
<Mary_jane`^> "Nora, stop."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "What? Let's see how he takes a few things in hishead."
<Mary_jane`^> "No, nora, don't."
<AlcarGM> Nora hefts the vase, then looks at you. "Why not?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Because I don't want you to kill anybody."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "It'd be a favour to this planet."
<Mary_jane`^> "No, let him kill himself."
* Mary_jane`^ thinks about this and looks at the mummies
<Mary_jane`^> "The wizard... He... Intends to harm himself."
<AlcarGM> Grey light flares from the circle, stabbing towardds the four of you.
<AlcarGM> (( ROFL! ))
<AlcarGM> The mummies look at each other, then at you. "Well .. we can't have that... can we? We are to protect him from all harm...."
* Mary_jane`^ holds out the feather to block it
<Mary_jane`^> "Yes... Yes you are."

Quote 7539

<AlcarGM> Nora is there with Gabe, in the back. She's bought pizza, and is saying, "I don't care what he did ...." She looks up. "The ... uhm . .wizard is dead? That sounds so stupid...'
<Mary_jane`^> "Yeah."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "Good. Here's some greek pizza then.... uhm ... is something wrong? You look like someone hit you in the forehead with a 2 by 4."
<Mary_jane`^> "Also, on an unrelated note, I am Luna's mom."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "..... what the fuck?"
<AlcarGM> Gabe actually looks up at that, and blinks. "You're .. .what?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Yeah, that was my reaction."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "So ... you ... ah ... have to say "I am your mother, Luna" and cut her hand off?"

Quote 7540

<Mary_jane`^> "Let's just go... I'm in the mood for milk shakes."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "Then we bring the pizza. This stuff costs more than drinks as a starbucks. It's kind of scary."
* Mary_jane`^ looks Nora over
<AlcarGM> she's trying to lighten the moon, perhaps a bit too much :p
<Mary_jane`^> "Are you serious? You just spent on a pair of shoes but you want to take along a pizza because it's a little expensive?"
<AlcarGM> Nora: "These pieces were 4 dollars each."
* Mary_jane`^ takes a piece and eats it
<AlcarGM> it's rather good, actually. And you find you are a bit hungry. Attempted heart attacks do that, it seems.
<Tass> (lighten the moon? har har :P)
<AlcarGM> (( *grins* ))

Quote 7541

<AlcarGM> The skyt is gtting cloudy outside and it's abit brisk as you leave. Droves of lemming - err, tourists, are still going into the museum. Possibly it eats some.
<Mary_jane`^> ...
<AlcarGM> It's a post modern baptist gothic museum with 10th dimensional aliens in the basement. It's allowed to eat tourists.
* Mary_jane`^ just goes to the car

Quote 7542

<Mary_jane`^> (( "if I'm luna's mom... Does that mean I used to be a fish too?" ))
<AlcarGM> (( :p ))
<AlcarGM> (( well, kusanagi IS a sword of water.... ))

Quote 7543

<Mary_jane`^> "Great, I'm saving the world so everyone can have icecream."

Quote 7544

<AlcarGM> Nora: "So, what can we do? I mean, the wizard's dead. Whoopdeedoo. I doubt we did more than mildly inconvience Merlin or Arthur..."
<Mary_jane`^> "Atleast we mildly inconvienced them... Ever consider learning magic? You should ask blaise about it sometime."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "Why would I want to? He's nuts."
<Mary_jane`^> "He's the sanest wizard I know."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "All the more reason to not learn magic then."

Quote 7545

<Mary_jane`^> "Huh? Oh, right... What was gabe talking about, making pacts with spirits or voices or whatever?"
<AlcarGM> Blaise: "He was not wrong. The power comes from within, yes, but not all of it. A magician always needs more, always desires more. To defend against enemies, to make themselvres strong, just for the rush of something new. Thee are many reasons, and many beings who wll offer up power for allegiances, or gifts, or donations."
<Mary_jane`^> "So the prices he's woried about are for wizards that only want more power or ultimate power or whatever... like Merlin?"
<AlcarGM> Blaise: "At some level, magic is about crossing lines. We all makes lines for ourselves. We say: 'This far we will go, and no further', but magic is about going further. I have seen people sell the souls of their loved ones for a century of life before. I once sold my shadow to a demon for a time." He nods. "All wizards want more power. There is never enough, not for the magic they need, not to succeed. Magic is the power of the gods, Mary Jane. The power to do anything. But you need energy to do anything, and power behind power, and alliances, and wards ...."
<AlcarGM> Bliase: "And the Gm probably wrote too much and it was cut off."
<Mary_jane`^> "As a matter of fact, he did."
<Mary_jane`^> Magic is the power of the gods, Mary
<AlcarGM> Jane. The power to do anything. But you need energy to do anything, and power behind power, and alliances, and wards ...."

Quote 7546

<Mary_jane`^> "Do me a favor."
<AlcarGM> The room is white, cement floors, and empty.
<AlcarGM> Blaise: "That being?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Hold your breath."
* Mary_jane`^ flushes the room
<AlcarGM> flushes? :p
<Mary_jane`^> oh yes
<Mary_jane`^> water and all
<Mary_jane`^> anything in the room smaller than a person is going out the door =p
<AlcarGM> lol. Okay. The room is now soaking wet :p
<AlcarGM> Blaise: "What was THAT for?" crossly.
<Mary_jane`^> "The more I thought about it... the more I realized that the room was conveniently clean."
<AlcarGM> Blaise nods, as if that makes perfect sense.

Quote 7547

<Mary_jane`^> "Ok, so this initiation, you keep saying that I lose things that I no longer have."
<AlcarGM> Blaise smiles slightly. "Other things as well, but they will not bother us. And you have more to lose than you might suspect. HUmanity is a luxury many magicians cannot afford, as our friends. Relatives. Love."
* Mary_jane`^ stands
<Mary_jane`^> "I can't do it, then."
<AlcarGM> (( WHAT?! THE GM HAS NOTES AND EVERYTHING! ))

Quote 7548

<AlcarGM> You appear beside the front doors of a massive mall.
<AlcarGM> You are standing. The sky is slate-grey and covered in clouds and the doors are the common glass ones of every mall. The parking lot is full of minivans and SUVs.
<Mary_jane`^> Rain?
* Mary_jane`^ frowns at the minivans and SUVs and goes inside
<AlcarGM> No rain. Just clouds.
* Mary_jane`^ checks for a 'you are here' sign
<AlcarGM> You enter the mall. Nice, cool recycled air. And a big map of the mall. Filling a entire wall, all in front of you. It's floors, and rooms, and everything else, escapators, stairs. And in the bottom left hand corner says YOU ARE HERE. It just does not say where here IS on the map.
<Mary_jane`^> lol no arrow?
<AlcarGM> Nope.
<Mary_jane`^> How ironic
<AlcarGM> (( *smiles* ))

Quote 7549

<AlcarGM> The old lady continues to knit. "Hmm. What's your name, my dear?" she asks politely.
<AlcarGM> You realize, belatedly, that you can't feel your power in you at all.
<AlcarGM> Something, perhaps the echo of it, makes you hesitate about giving your real name.
<Mary_jane`^> "Mary..."
<Mary_jane`^> well a little late for that now, isn't it?
<AlcarGM> The old lady knits. "We get a lot of Mary's here. After the slut, of course."
<Mary_jane`^> "I see... and... Where is here?"
<AlcarGM> Old lady: "Why, Hell of course. Where else would it be? Are you sure you went through processing?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Ah, he--What?"
<AlcarGM> The old lady smiles and shakes her head. Her teeth are awfully sharp, it seems. "Bureaucracies. Go through the door," she points, and there is now a door in the middle of the you are here map, "and your claim will be processed for what hell you're best suited for."
<Mary_jane`^> "I'm not here for processing, I'm here to... consult me demons it seems... Litterally..." The last part being said under her breath.
<AlcarGM> The old lady stops smiling and knitting, her eyes black and empty as the (or a) Pit. "Internal investigations,is it?!"
* Mary_jane`^ crosses her arms "Perhaps, I need some information, though."
<AlcarGM> The old lady stands, scowling. "I did nothing wrong with the Potter boy. It's not my fault I thought he was from those books that Rowling woman sold the souls of her unborn children in order to make popular."
<AlcarGM> She waves towards the door, quivering with irrighteouss indignition, since righteous indignition doesn't work for demons. "Go find another stoolie!"

Quote 7550

<Mary_jane`^> "I'm not here for YOU... I need information on someone else... I'm sure I could put a good word in for you, so when the potter case comes up..."
<AlcarGM> She looks . .wary, now. "On who?"
<Mary_jane`^> "A woman, she was processed a few centuries ago... She dared love the wrong person... I believe her name was... Ella?"
<AlcarGM> (( elaine ,you mean? ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( Whatever ))
<Mary_jane`^> "Maybe it was Elaine... Let me check my notes--You know what, it was."
<AlcarGM> The demon frowns. "Hrm. There are many of those. You best go in and as a disinformation officer."
* Mary_jane`^ frowns at her "I have unlived one pourpose in my time here, and I'm straight forward about my position with II, I'm not familiar with the way the DO works."
<AlcarGM> The demon smiles. "it doesn't."

Quote 7551

* AlcarGM has to end soon. Tired :p
<Mary_jane`^> k
<Mary_jane`^> wait
<Mary_jane`^> YOU are tired?
* AlcarGM has not slept in going on 3 days. So yes :p

Quote 7552

<alcar> Hrm, No one else here?
<Aerdan> Boo.
* alcar meant for game :p
<Aerdan> Heh.
<Fennec> heh indeed
<Fennec> Aerdan: I mean, I *could* try and stuff you in, but I have no clue who you are :)
<Aerdan> :P
* Aerdan 's not involved, though.
<alcar> aww.Make up a pc :p
<alcar> and say you were always in the game.
<alcar> then get indignant when no one recalls you and say if they'll be that way you won't play
<Aerdan> :P
<alcar> for added marks badmouth them in other channels :)

Quote 7553

<Adam`^> "No reason... Anyway, her name was Scrumptious. Her father owns the candy factory."
<Melissa> "Let me guess. Her father is willy wonka?"
<Adam`^> "No, her father is a Scrumptious too. The scrumptious factory you can see from the train station?"
* Melissa is relieved by that :p "Soi what's her role in all of this insanity?"
* Adam`^ shrugs
<Adam`^> "She's marrying some young inventor who's name escapes me right now."
<FennecGM> dude, I identified it as a Previously Postulated Primary Plot Point, and it 'escapes you just now'? or are you fooling with her? :)
<Melissa> lol
<Adam`^> you're not supposed to tell the player that... jeeze...
<Adam`^> alcar, pretend you didn't hear that

Quote 7554

<Melissa> "And how did she know Ken?'
<Adam`^> "She didn't, she just knew he was dead."
<Melissa> "... and how did she know that?"
<Adam`^> "I don't know."
<Adam`^> "She was mysterious, but she was a woman."
* Melissa lets that one slide.
<Adam`^> (( You shouldn't ))

Quote 7555

<FennecGM> She's wearing a rather hoopish dress.
<Adam`^> who isn't?
* Melissa whispers "purple aura," quietly, to Adam.
* Adam`^ walks over to her and squats infront of her "Can I help you?"
* Melissa waits behind Adam, ready to .. uhm ... she had no idea what, yet :p
<FennecGM> (( hold up ))
<Adam`^> (( I will do nothing of the sort! ))
<FennecGM> (( dangit ))
<Adam`^> (( You better dangit ))

Quote 7556

* Melissa sighs. Mel is like playing russian roulette with a laser gun, I swear.
* Melissa debates inventing telepathic spam.
<FennecGM> "EAT AT JOE'S!"

Quote 7557

<AlcarGM> You're in a cold castle room in Hell with a woman who has made her stomach and most of the muscles in her legs into a tapestry and then destroyed it. She snhouldn't be standing, probably, but she is,.
* Mary_jane`^ helps her
<Mary_jane`^> "You could probably save him, though."
<Fennec> (( dudewtf and good night! ))

Quote 7558

<AlcarGM> You walk through the courtyard. People are whispering to themselves in broken voices, sounding like leaves on the wind. "I didnlt meant to..." "I'm sorry.. " "Love ... " "I didn't mean to take the last Rolo..."

Quote 7559

<Mary_jane`^> "This could be the last chance you have to forgive the man you loved. It's eternal, you know?"
<AlcarGM> Gabe: ".... Oh, fuck. He's too close to you...." And the darkness is gone, abruptly. Replaced by ... something. Something terribly bright, brither than an angel, or a sun. You hear nothing scream, and another scream, far more human, but carrying a rage and power you can barely compass..... The nothing is back, but it no longer watches you.
<AlcarGM> Elaine: "Eternal? Per.... haps..." she trails off. "What .. was that?"
<Mary_jane`^> "No idea... Let's hurry."
* Mary_jane`^ quickens her pace to a run
<AlcarGM> You run. Time passes, or doesn't, since this is Hell. After a time, you see something ahead of you, at the end of the road. A door made of wood.
<Mary_jane`^> "It is... There's no doubt in my mind. It's survived five worlds so far and is still as strong as ever."
* Mary_jane`^ goe to the door
<AlcarGM> It fills the entire road, which is now scarcely 5 feet wide. and is dark, like rusted iron. There is aface graven into it. A happy face.
<AlcarGM> Elaine: "What has .... the abyss?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Love."

Quote 7560

<Mary_jane`^> how do you destroy a magical door...
<AlcarGM> turn it into the polka dot door and watch it die of embarassment? :p

Quote 7561

<AlcarGM> damn. Blaise is going tom be MORE nuts.
* AlcarGM sighs.
<Mary_jane`^> lol why?
<AlcarGM> he saw what was in Galahad, with his Sight. Gabe should have thought to warm him to leave the room :p
<Mary_jane`^> you do realize you do have SOME control over this world, right?
<AlcarGM> yes :P

Quote 7562

<AlcarGM> Galahad frowns. "She is a woman, yes? Why doesn't she jjust have children, and have them as fates with her?"
<Mary_jane`^> "She's affraid no one will come for her."
<Mary_jane`^> "She is rather old... A maiden she called herself, to the end."
<AlcarGM> Galahad: "That is all?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Well... Yes, it seems."
<AlcarGM> Galahad: "Then I will marry her. It is not seemly for a woman to be a maiden all her life."
<AlcarGM> Gabe: ".... uhm..... "
* Mary_jane`^ frowns at him
* Mary_jane`^ opens her mouth to say something, then shuts it
<AlcarGM> he seems 110% sinceere. And he spent 1500 years in hell. He must have driven people insane when he was alive :p

Quote 7563

<Mary_jane`^> "She's affraid no one will come for her."
<Mary_jane`^> "She is rather old... A maiden she called herself, to the end."
<AlcarGM> Galahad: "That is all?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Well... Yes, it seems."
<AlcarGM> Galahad: "Then I will marry her. It is not seemly for a woman to be a maiden all her life."
<AlcarGM> Gabe: ".... uhm..... "

* Mary_jane`^ opens her mouth to say something, then shuts it
<AlcarGM> he seems 110% sinceere. And he spent 1500 years in hell. He must have driven people insane when he was alive :p
<Mary_jane`^> "But you don't know her... You can't marry a woman you don't know it's... well I mean you have to love people to marry them."
<AlcarGM> Galahad: "Love comes in all marriages that last, even arranged ones. Or at least friendship, which lasts longer."
<Mary_jane`^> "That's likely but... A fate? How do you... Nevermind, how would we even get you there?"
<AlcarGM> Galahad: "You could not to the hall of the fates wjen you can go to Hell?" in an amused tone.

Quote 7564

<Mary_jane`^> I like galahad =p
<AlcarGM> yeah :)
<Mary_jane`^> a true knight to the end
<Mary_jane`^> and even for 1500 years beyond the end =p
<Mary_jane`^> he's prolly the reason his dad's crazy though
<AlcarGM> lol. Quite likely :P

Quote 7565

<Mary_jane`^> "Would you like to meet him? I could bring him, you know. He would like a shave and haircut first, but later."
<AlcarGM> The fate blinks. "My hair....... I haven't done my hair since 1392!" in a horrified tone, almost that of the young fate she once was.
* Mary_jane`^ smiles
<Mary_jane`^> "You have time... Is a day from earth enough time for you?"
<AlcarGM> She nods, and is no longer in the hall
* Mary_jane`^ is no longer in the hall as well, then. Opting for a stall in the women's bathroom at her school
<AlcarGM> you appear in a bathroom in the womans washroom. the nuclear explosion that results whe you occupy the place that Franie Jenkins did levels the city. Or, we end the session :p

Quote 7566

* alcar just realized that the fin de siecle game needs mechas.
<alcar> I iwsh I'd thought of that earlier. I would have turned angels into transformers :p
<alcar> "I am an autbo - er, angel."
<Alicia> Wow
<Alicia> "I am the archangel Optimus Prime"
* alcar nods :P

Quote 7567

<AlcarGM> Okay! Since the world didn't blow up, you are in the bathroom at school, having teleported from the hall of the fates .... to get to class on time. I don't know about you, but the GM is disturbed by that.
<Mary_jane`^> not as disturbing as having gone to hell the night before
* Mary_jane`^ finds a seat and waits for school to start!
<AlcarGM> True. Your grades are starting to slip though :p

Quote 7568

<Mary_jane`^> "Luna, you are crazy."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I wish I was. It wouldbe nice. I could have a vacation in a nice padded room and bounce off the walls!" happily.
<Mary_jane`^> "You are, Luna. You are crazier than most crazy people I know..."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I am not crazy. I am Special. Daddy said so."
<Mary_jane`^> "This is the same Daddy who fucked you once."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "But I don't remember that," placidly.

Quote 7569

<Mary_jane`^> "Erm... You know what, i really must be going."
<AlcarGM> The man shakes his head. "Of course not. You have to dance," and his grip is tighter than it should be. The music is louder, insistent. Hungry.....
* Mary_jane`^ glares at him "No, I don't."
<AlcarGM> He doesn't let go. You *know* you should be throwing him, or something, but a large part of you doesn't want to. He's so nice., and charming, and he really liked you for who you really are.
<AlcarGM> (( he is also about as subtle as a full page personal ad. ))

Quote 7570

<Alcar> Hrm. Will see how long chaos wants to rp the whole being on the run stuff.
* Alcar doesn't think it quite fits anime for the MC to be running from the law for murder :p
<Tass> oh
<Tass> I didn't realise the game was modeled after anime :P
<Alcar> lol. Yup. Was initially, at least. I think it's veered in a few instances, but that was the goal.
<Alcar> hence the whole Girl Who Saves The World and friends stuff.
<Tass> lol
<Tass> it makes so much sense now :P
<Tass> well, more sense

Quote 7571

<AlcarGM> Blaise: "And what is the point of that, besides to mock those of us who have not had sex in .... 270 years, 3 months and 14 days?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Ok, our next order of business, many of you may have noticed the insane moon child sitting next to me."
<Mary_jane`^> "You've counted?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I'd have sex with you," to Blaise.
<AlcarGM> Blaise: "I was joking. Ah ... " he stares at Luna... "No."
<AlcarGM> Luna pouts. "You're just saying that bcause I'd melt your mind and it would bubble out your ears."

Quote 7572

<Mary_jane`^> "Like I had mentionted earlier, he intended to be resurected. Is anyone even listening to me?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "How do you know that?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Know what?"
<AlcarGM> (( Luna: "My name is Luna Parsons. You killed my father. Prepare to die." ..So . .sooo tempting :P\ ))
<AlcarGM> Luna: "That he wanted to come back. He never told me that. Unless he did."

Quote 7573

<Mary_jane`^> "I kind of like this place... We need to change our clothes though. Either of you know any clothing spells?"
<AlcarGM> Nora: "I can make fire. I don't want to know any more demonic spells.."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Of course! Clothing is fun!"
<AlcarGM> You are now ...... Malibu Barbie.
<Mary_jane`^> "Luna?"
<AlcarGM> Congrats :p
<Mary_jane`^> "Ok... Something that fits into this setting."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Oh!" She pouts. "But the barbie cultists are a big religion here. We could melt plastic."
<Mary_jane`^> "No, please. Just... Something subtle."

Quote 7574

<Mary_jane`^> "Ok, let's visit the hanging gardens."
<AlcarGM> Luna claps her hands. "Oh goody! I like seeing Ctuhlhu hang people!"

Quote 7575

<Mary_jane`^> "Do you think we'll need money?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I never need money. I have sex with people for free."
* Mary_jane`^ continues to walk
<Mary_jane`^> "But if we could get money for it..."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Sometimes people pay me ot stop."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "...."
<Mary_jane`^> "Let's see how far we can get without money first."

Quote 7576

<AlcarGM> The hanging garden of Babylon, due to budget cutbacks, are currently a greenhouse. Okay. Maybe not :) THe hanging gardens are large. And hanging. And very pretty., except for the fact that there are acutal corpses hanging from them, murders ,thieves, husbands who left toilets seats up and the like.
<Mary_jane`^> "Who's Idea was this again?"
* Mary_jane`^ looks at the bodies
<Mary_jane`^> "Who did you say hanged these people here?" To luna
<AlcarGM> They're hanging a good 23 stories about the ground. Men. Women. A few children.
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Cthulhu. But he's not here right now, or the garden would be moving and singing. I like to listen to the songs."

Quote 7577

<Mary_jane`^> "How often do you come here Luna?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Lots! It's nice and pretty and it used to be on the moon. But they moved it."
<Mary_jane`^> "Why?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "The martians couldn't come."
<AlcarGM> Nora just shakes her head
<Mary_jane`^> "No... She has a point."
<AlcarGM> The Dancing Goat turns out to bee a large single storey tavern made from the hull of the Ark, or so local legends run. It is made of wood, and rather old.
* Mary_jane`^ goes inside looking around "So do the martians come now?"
<AlcarGM> Luna nods. "Sometimes. But they're at home now because Elvis is touring."

Quote 7578

* Mary_jane`^ asks what the local currancy is here =p
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Oh, they accept anything. Except for severed heads."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "It takes the bartender time to grow a new head when the barbarians cut his head off for payment."

Quote 7579

<Mary_jane`^> "I just thought we'd come by and say hi to the fisher king before we left. I think we're going to alexandria next to visit the libraries. Do you know what currancy they have there?"
<AlcarGM> He shake shis head. "Alexandria is gone. They burned it long ago, from all the worlds, for containing books never meant to be written. It's said the shadows came to life thetrre, and things were given life that should never have lived."
<Mary_jane`^> "They also said babylon was a city of ruins."
<AlcarGM> The fisher king laughs. "In some worlds, yes. This -" he waves a hand - "isn't real. Not like it really was. The moon remebered it, and the moon brought us all back. Even me, to live out our lives forever in a world that's no longer our world. There was another, but it became a space station I was told. Pollution from the real world."
<AlcarGM> (( nearly went with that idea, too :p ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( Babylon 5? ))
<AlcarGM> (( yup. Was going to send you there :p ))
<AlcarGM> (( or 4, and have you blamed for destroying it. ))

Quote 7580

* Mary_jane`^ sniffs "I need a drink."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "We had drinks."
<AlcarGM> She looks worried.
<Mary_jane`^> "I didn't, I had to watch mine for Loki. He's a god you know."
<AlcarGM> Nora: "... I know. Are you sure Luna isn't contagious?"
* Mary_jane`^ lets go of luna and sits down in the middle of the street

Quote 7581

<Alicia> I suppose usually, railroading is only used for when it's too much, though, so good GMs don't railroad. ^^;
<Alicia> Because if they're good GMs, it's not railroading. ^^;;
<alcar> lol. Yeah.
<Fennec> give player incentives to do what needs to be done, rather than closing off all other options? :)
<Alicia> Yes
<Alicia> It's not railroading if the players WANT to follow your path
<alcar> carrot and really big stick of experience points.
<Fennec> mmm, XP
<alcar> "What?! We killed that dragon and got no experience?!" "It wasn't in the plot."
