Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((okies... in the interest of time, since reading is quicker than RPing, I will post the log of all the stuff we've done to try and catch up. it's at wwww.wodnyc.net/archives/2004/feb5jb01b.htm please read it and then if you have any questions or additions we can do that, and pick up from there.))

 

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((Oops, I put one too many w's up front. www.wodnyc.net/archives/2004/feb5jb01b.htm ))

Nabiki: (url not found)

Angelia Caponelli : (back, sorry had to get breakfast for kids)

Angelia : (there finally! My name has stuck)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((Any questions? Additions?))

Carla: ((nope))

Nabiki: ((I can't access the file, so... I'm fine. *c*))

Angelia: (I'm all good)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((and I think because peeps are reading archives they're timing out, and therefore taking everybody's nicks with them.))

Silkie: ((Ack, got it.))

Harvey Forrester: ((alrighty, I'm good.))

Stonewall: (What does Nabiki and Stoney talk about until Angelia returns?)

Nabiki: ((She'll inquire further about these seeds.))

Carla: ((Doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy doo))

Silkie: ((Does the waiting for the game to start dance.))

Angelia: (Warns I might be slow I have a bunch of kids here and my sister's too lazy to get up and watch them)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): (okies...so while all this conversation is going on, what are the others (besides Jeremy and Silkie) doing?))

Carla: ((Eating her petal))

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Carla: ((Why is she eating her petal?))

Carla -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((Because she doesn't see it as a petal, she sees it as a metaphor. And she sees eating it not as eating, but as accepting that gift into her completely, as she did with Selene's petal. You're turning my character into a flower-eater *G*))

Nabiki: ((Uh, Carla. That just sounds wrong. *L*))

Angelia: (Ang is talking to Stoney on and off she's also going to do a few turns around the clearing to make sure they're secure there)

Carla: ((Huh huh huh. Once a man, always a man ;0 ))

Carla: (("Dude, check this out. I can eat my own flower! Huh hu huhuh!"))

Harvey Forrester: ((Harvey's going to be watching to make sure there's no trouble...like, to make sure that if anything is about to enter the area, he knows about it in advance.))

Nabiki: *Listening to the others' conversations for the most part.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Carla: ((Okies. *G* Does she have any particular frame of mind while eating it, and does she do any rituallistic things to accompany it? (i.e., pray over it, offer it to the sky, etc.) If so please post what the others observing would see her do))

 

Silkie: ((*ROTFLMAO*))

Stonewall: *As Angelia leaves. To Nabiki.* Do you have a body no one is using?

Silkie: ((So hears that in a Butthead voice.))

Nabiki: *Arches an eyebrow at Stonewall.* "As in corpse?"

John Feeds: *Pacing around the clearing, although not impatiently, looking around.*

Stonewall: I doubt it but do you have a corpse?

Nabiki: "It's not the sort of thing I generally carry around, no."

Nabiki: "What about these graves?"

Carla: Whilst they're waiting, listening, she gazes at the petal in her palm. After a little while she whispers softly to it. "You look so small. Very misleading. I think that's why you're underestimated so." She lifts the velvet to her lips and kisses it tenderly, then murmurs "For Fire Snake. For Caradoc. For Lady White Snake. For Eshtarra. For the Body of Harmony. For every soul we can touch and bring light to. For my Kingdom, and for my King. For myself. For Land, Sea and Sky, for Chaya and for Life. There is more than enough of you for all of these and more. It is my honour to bear you." And she lifts the petal, placing it in her mouth.

John Feeds: *Carrying what appears to be a conch.*

John Feeds: *Slowing his pace and watching Carla as she places the petal in her mouth.* Why you eat it?

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Carla: ((Roll per+meditation, please. If you get at least 1 sux at 7, roll WP, then STA)

Nabiki: *Looks over at John and Carla.*

Carla: 7,7,2,9,9,

Stonewall: Ok. The need three thing. 1) A Body, 2) Blood, and 3) the soul/essence. I brought Water to serve as the blood, since water is the blood of the land. I was hoping the soil would serve as the body. And the seed is the gift from Rabbit. The problem with this plan is that your group refers to itself as a body and some of the soul/essence might be in Carla's sword and I don't know how the sword functions as a soul/essence trap.

 

Carla: 2,2,9,7,6,7,5,

Carla: 1,7,7,

Carla: ((The mind is willing, but the flesh is heavily preggers *lol*))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): When Carla eats the petal there is a great flash, and it appears as if she's incased in a green orb of ball lighting. She appears quite amazed and surprised, but in a religious ecstasy sort of way.

Nabiki: *Squints at the flash and takes a step back, pupils contracting.*

Angelia: (is mostly idle here while SToney and Nab are talking.)

Harvey Forrester: *looks that way, and tenses, having no clue what's going on*

John Feeds: *Clenching his fists and frowning, taking a step towards her.* Carla?

Singha (Feb 5 pm): And then the orb dissipates into the ground, flashing away to affect all the others in the circle by raising the hair on their arms and head, each feeling an echo of that sense of unity and compassion and Harmony they felt while riding the dragon (or that Stoney's felt when the Rose is active). Her knees buckle, and she has a controlled fall to the ground, dazed.

Angelia: She too blinks from her patrol, stepping quickly over to Carla (though not touching her or the ball around her). "Carla?"

Stonewall: *Cleans his carving tools waiting for Nabiki to respond.*

Harvey Forrester: *heads over to Carla* "Are you alright?"

Angelia: She smiles softly and crouches down to help Carla back up to her feet. "Carla?" She asks quietly, unworried.

John Feeds: *Pacing around Harvey, Angelia and Carla in a quite protective manner.*

Carla: She's grinning dazedly, not really responding at first, and limp in Angelia's grasp.


Angelia: She pulls Carla up at least enough that she's sitting and puts an arm around her to hold her up. "You alright there Heart?" She murmers, brushing the woman's hair back from her head.

Stonewall: *When his carving tools are clean he sharpens them.*

Angelia: (forehead even)

 Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((Man is Stoney jaded. Big flash of lighting, prego woman falls, Stoney's cleaning tools.))

Carla: After a while, she blinks at Angelia, then grins. "Yes. I believe so."

Carla: ((He's just hoping she's dead *G*))

Nabiki: *Focused for the moment on Carla and Angelia.*

Sam O'Shea: (Sorry for being late, connection was wonky)

John Feeds: Why you eat it Carla? *Real concern in his voice as he paces around, still holding the conch.*

Harvey Forrester: "Good. What just happened?"

Angelia: She nods a bit and rubs Carla's back lightly, "What happened?"

Stonewall: (Yeah, there are closer healers to crazy prego chick then him.)

Carla: "I can't... really describe it," she admits with a startled frankness. "I ate it because... it was love, and love needs to be accepted just as much as it needs to be given." She smiles.

John Feeds: Love..*looks over to Sam with a strange expression and shrugs.*

Stonewall: *Sharpening his equipment. Then puts them away and examine the the granite figurine he is working on.*

Carla: She looks around slowly, then adds "Aren't we supposed to be going to Ellis Island now?"

Nabiki: *Sees Carla seems alright and looks thoughtfully at Stonewall, trying to pull all this together.*

Angelia: She nods a little to Carla, "We are." She looks back to Stoney, "Unless we can plant the seed here."

Carla: "This is the wrong place." She takes Angelia's assistance at last and rises to her feet. "And isn't Malcolm's body at Ellis Island?"

Nabiki: 1,9,10,8,9,

Sam O'Shea: (OOC: Has anything been stated about what Sam has done so far?)

Silkie: ((May soon be providing a corpse for Stoney))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((other than he took his gift, no, we were waiting for you to post what he's doing))

 

Angelia: (nope) She shakes her head a little. "It's being delivered in the morning." (though what time is it?)

Carla: "To Ellis Island though, yes?" She blinks, then looks around, distracted by everything around her.

John Feeds: *He nods to Carla.* Is there a safe place here I can put my conch? I want to keep it safe. *Looking down at it, turning it this way and that, studying it.*

Angelia: (ah still 5pm)

Carla: She smiles to John. "Your gift was the water. Drink it."

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((The corpse is still with Sam at this point, since we agreed in order to avoid complications Sam was going to give it to Stoney on the morning of the 6th))

Nabiki: *Steps close to Feeds.* "Perhaps you should bring it."

Stonewall: *Makes mental note on what to do next with the carving.*

Angelia: She shakes her head a little. "That's the plan but Sam has it. We can have it where ever we want."

Nabiki: *Smiles* "Or drink it."

Sam O'Shea: (OOC: OK, I'll pick up. So far, Sam has seemed mostly contemplative, distant after the ball of light affair. Now, he speaks) *He looks at Carla* The body remains with me.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Stoney sees that John's holding a very large conch filled with seawater.

Nabiki: *Sam is proving to be enigmatic. How interesting.*

Carla: "No, it has to be Ellis Island. That is where he was crowned." She smiles suddenly at Angelia. "If the ritual were performed here we would raise he who was crowned here. I am Queen, and I choose my Mate. Nobody else. I choose Malcolm. I choose Ellis Island."

John Feeds: It's water from Sea.. this body might get sick. *Frowning.* Maybe I -should- bring it with me.

 

Sam O'Shea: *He nods* I will bring it to the Island, when all agree on the course from here.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((roll per+alert to see what Stoney's been carving, if he hasn't already put it away))

Nabiki: John> "Perhaps a small sip will prove informative."

Carla: "Does our Voice know the ritual that we need?"

Stonewall: *Stoney has been paying attention to the whole thing just not involving himself in there completion of their Ritual.*

Angelia: She nods to Carla and moves back to where their things are. "We should head there now then."

Carla: She lifts a hand slightly and looks to Sam questioningly.

Stonewall: *It is suppose to be a Salmon for Little Bit.*

Stonewall: 8,9,2,10,9,9,4,10,9,

Sam O'Shea: 2,8,4,7,3,7,

John Feeds: *Sips the seawater gingerly.*

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Carla. Inscrutable expression*

John Feeds: 6,5,5,7,2,9,

Nabiki: *Curiously watches Feeds for his reaction.*

Angelia: 3,8,3,10,8,6,

Silkie -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((when Silkie makes her run, she's going to call out to the brambles to rise up, hoping they'll mask her escape))

Silkie -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((..err, attempt to escape anyway.))

Harvey Forrester: 9,7,8,3,7,

Angelia: She glances over everyone before crouching down near her backpack, still wearing her gold and diamond choker even though it looks terribly out of place with her hiking clothes.

Carla: She then murmurs "Mas and Zi Teng are one." She looks to Stonewall. "Can they share a body, or must they be seperated once more?"

Stonewall: *Shrugs.* That is what we will see after whatever grows, grows.

Carla: She nods softly. "But we do not have a body. At least, not one that is... useable." She frowns softly.

Sam O'Shea: *He grunts* What kind of body do you need?

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((*hits pause* Okies, hold on for a sec, I'm juggling alot of info with alot of peeps here and I need to pause for a sec to get everyone on the same page))

Carla: "Very recently deceased." She gazes at Sam.

Angelia: She looks over Carla and then to Feeds and back to Stonewall. "We have Malcolm if we need a corpse. We have a body too... a differant kind." She motions to Feed's shell of water. "And blood."

Carla: ((*Screeches to a halt*))

Sam O'Shea: (*Pausing*)

Stonewall: *Shrugs.* The soil might work. Or it might not. How do we untrap Mas/Billy from the sword?

 

Carla: ((Mee too! Mee too!))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): First off, perceptionwise, everybody who got 3 or more sux on a 6 diff notices that the thing Stoney's been carving is a salmon figure out of granite. Those who got 3 or more sux on a diff 8 or higher hear Silkie's voice talking in Japanese. Stoney with all those sux, hears the actual conversation between Silkie and the Dragons from the log.

Angelia: (pauses too)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Secondly, Nabiki you got some sux with your enigs, please roll int+occult

Angelia: (Oh I hears Silkie!)

Stonewall: (Paused waiting for Singha to unpause.) Angelia, ask your groups eyes about the plan I told her.

Nabiki: 2,3,1,9,

John Feeds: OC: Back.

Stonewall: Silkie, has just pick a fight with the Yakuza.

Silkie: ((They started it!))

John Feeds -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): OOC: The seawater still tastes like seawater?

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Nabiki: ((You realize with the enigs that Firesnake would be extremely happy and proud of you guys if you can solve this puzzle of using a body that's not been killed, and that it has something to do with you guys being a Body of Harmony, but you don't have the occult knowledge to figure out how to do that.))

John Feeds: Who are they? *Glancing to Angelia.* I can get a corpse.

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> John Feeds: ((roll GN, please, you were the next on my list to get to. *G*))

Sam O'Shea: *He growls* What? Where is she?

 

John Feeds: 9,5,7,6,7,

Nabiki: *Looks at Stonewall then glances around for Silkie*

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> John Feeds: ((what's his state of mind when he sips the water?))

Stonewall: Don't kill anyone. I do not want to do the twisted rite.

Sam O'Shea: *He shakes his head* I'm not too sure they'd want the body of someone killed for that purpose.

Harvey Forrester: *glances to Stonewall and echoes Sam's question* "Where is she?"

Angelia: She frowns as she looks around, towards Silkie's voice, "Hands, could you make sure she's alright?"

John Feeds -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): OOC: Curiosity, carefulness and a sense of wonder at what he associates it with.

John Feeds: *Presently sipping some water from the conch.*

Stonewall: Protect Silkie without causing anyones death. There has been too much unnecessary killing already.

Harvey Forrester: *nods, and goes in the direction that Ang is looking to go help Silkie*

Sam O'Shea: *He nods at Harvey and John* Hands, lift her out of harm's way. Bring her here, so we can keep her safe. *Then looks at Stonewall and Nabiki* We need to know what is needed. Precisely.

Stonewall: That way at the brambles.*Points it the direction.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> John Feeds: ((He realizes he's just accessed the wisdom and knowledge and purity of Sea, and with this sip, Sea will allow Firesnake to answer one question of Feeds))

Nabiki: "I'm not entirely sure. Do we wish to guess and hope for the best?"


John Feeds -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): OOC: WIll he have to ask it immediately?

Stonewall: *Sits looking at his wedding ring. Waiting fo Nabiki to tell Sam what he told her.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> John Feeds: ((He doesn't know))

Harvey Forrester: *is heading towards Silkie*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((As much as you all want to leap into action, we are still paused, people.))

Nabiki: "We need at the least, a body, blood, and the soul."

Angelia: (sorry singha I thought we unpaused)

Nabiki: ((oops... repauses.. which is better than meno..pausing))

Sam O'Shea: (OOC: Sorry, Singha. Got it wrong)

Harvey Forrester: ((oops, sorry. repauses))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): (I don't mind the conversation cause speech is pretty fast, but I can't cover any actions until we unpause))

Carla: 9,7,3,6,8,3,

John Feeds -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): "Firesnake, what hidden dangers lie ahead in what we are undertaking now?" *Through Sending, since that's his most natural form of communication.* OOC: Had to twist my head, but protecting the Body is what comes to the brightwater's mind first.

Silkie: ((Is going to step outside for a few minutes. Need to check on the dogs.))

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> John Feeds: John gets the image of Qyrl creatures rising out of the depths and attacking the protesters on Ellis Island. They appear to be humans that have become somehow able to breathe underwater, and dolphins and a wereshark or two which have been possessed by some horrible force that warps their flesh into Qyrlish features.

 

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Carla: ((Carla sees what Stoney's carving, and hears the faint sound of voices but can't identify them))

John Feeds: *After sipping the water, he gets a strange expression and looks very, very serious. Sam picks up a sending.* OOC: PM coming.

Silkie: ((Good grief, it's snowing.))

Angelia: (*blinks at Silkie*)

Stonewall: (If it was snowing here I would have to leave and watch it and be in it.)

Silkie: ((Has been snowed on suffiently this winter. Does not feel any impulse to stand outside and freeze.))

Harvey Forrester: ((ahh, you're dealing with that now. Got something like six inches over the last week))

: ((Wants to sEE snkow!!!!!))((sorry random lurki *hugz about*))

Silkie: ((Mails some snow to the lurker.))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): (ok, *unpauses*) Harvey runs toward the cabin, and everybody hears the unmistakable sound of automatic gunfire as the Dragons shoot at the retreating Silkie.

Stonewall: (It would be an historic event if it snowed here. It is in the high 70's here.)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): 6,5,6,4,1,4,

: ((YAY! it melted *cries*))((and goes to quiet mode again))

John Feeds: *Seems to come to, hearing the gunfire.* What? *Looking around.*

Silkie: *And running seemed like such a good idea at the time. It's not her fault their boss is a cross-dresser.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((roll dodge, Silkie)

Silkie: ((Makes sacrifices to the dicebot god.))

Angelia: She backs up quickly to Carla, shifting again to use her big furry self as a sheild for the pregnant woman.

Nabiki: *Head snapping around towards the sound of gunfire.*

Silkie: 5,9,3,10,3,5,5,

Silkie: *Yes, she's a fast little thing.*

Sam O'Shea: *He growls* Hands, get Silkie out! Prevent the Dragons from reaching us, preferably without killing them.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): The Dragons don't really pursue, at least not quickly, since the brambles are too high and too thick for them to move through easily.

Harvey Forrester: ((hey! don't yell at Harvey, he's on his way to get Silkie!)) *quickens his pace when he hears gunfire*

John Feeds: *Setting his conch down carefully, he runs swiftly after Harry - extremely quick, and not only for a man his size.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Silkie manages to get behind the cover of the woods before she's hit, and almost runs smack into Harvey as he runs in her direction.

Silkie: *Does a fair imitation of Brer Rabbit in the briar patch.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): With Feeds right behind Harve

 

Harvey Forrester: *and Harvey will (at least attempt to) pick Silkie up and run back to the group*

Carla: She blinks, resting one hand on Angelia's furry back. Ok, more in the small of her furry back.

Silkie -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((where is she hit?))

John Feeds: *Stands aside to let Harvey past with Silkie, scouting in the opposite direction to see if he sees the Dragons.*

Stonewall: *Pulls out the granite figurine and returns to carving it.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): But the bullets strafe the woods, buzzing around and thokking into trees, zipping through underbrush, etc. (Everybody but Silkie roll dodge. If you botch, you get hit)

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Silkie: ((She's not hit, she dodged))

Silkie: *Staggering forward, startled by Harvey's sudden appearance.*

Harvey Forrester: 2,2,5,8,3,2,2,

Carla: 5,9,9,4,

Angelia: 5,2,9,4,2,

Carla: She seems to be succesfully using Angelia to hide behind.

John Feeds: 6,8,5,5,7,8,7,

Stonewall: 10,7,2,1,9,10,8,6,

Nabiki: *Shifts up to sokto.*


Nabiki: 7,2,9,1,5,2,10,10,

Singha (Feb 5 pm): At the sound of the gunfire, Jer who is speaking with those on the boat at the docks on the opposite end of the island, would note that a cadre of Dragons there are speaking over their radioes in japanese to some other troops on the island.

Silkie: *Squeeks when Harvey grabs her.*

Sam O'Shea: 3,4,7,8,2,

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((As a side note, plesae don't roll to shift unless I specifically request it. I will give you a mundane sux in most situations to shift.))

Angelia: She growls softly, as bullets fly, recalling just how nasty that wound of Trevor's got. "Time. To. Go." She grunts with some diffeculty.

Nabiki: ((was a dodge roll, I'm slow))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): John sees the woods on either side of the narrow, winding trail, and can hear the Dragons crunching laboriously in their direction.

Carla: "I'd need time to get changed." She gestures toward her wetsuit. "Unless we've got a small miracle stashed nearby?" She blinks.

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Carla: ((roll Int+occult, please))

John Feeds: *Running back to the others as he's seen this.* They are coming here.

Carla -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((Apart from the small miracle in her hand, that is *G*))

Nabiki: ((They make wet suits for pregnant women? *L* Maternity wet suit?))

Carla: 9,2,7,9,7,

Carla: ((Nah, it's just two sizes too big *G*))

 

Carla: ((More a sort of... damp suit.))

Stonewall: *Stoney stands and walks over to Angelia.* If you are done my I try my plan now?

Angelia: She reaches over to grab her own back pack, sticking very close to Carla. "Dress quick."

Nabiki: "Carla, into the woods, and into your wetsuit. We'll hold them off here. Angelia, stay with her."

Carla: She grins at Stoney. "Be our guest."

Angelia: She looks to Stonewall and nods, able at least to converse with him in garou. ~g~ "You want to plant it here then?"

Nabiki: *Continuing up to her crinos form, dark skin going to spotted orange fur.*

Stonewall: Please leave the sword. *Then starts the Rite of the Open Sky hoping for the best.*

Sam O'Shea: *Looks at Angelia* You and the Heart get ready. *Looks at Nabiki* Eyes, keep watch for trouble from other directions. If you see the Spine, get him here. I'll wait for the Hands and Silkie. *He starts shifting, body stretching and twisting into the giant Standing Jaws shark-monster*

Harvey Forrester: *puts Silkie down, then shifts to Crinos*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Hearing voices speaking English, the Dragons by the cabin open fire again, pelting the woods with a hail of lead.

John Feeds: *Looking towards the forest, standing almost protectively by the conch.* Listen everyone: Qyrl-creatures will attack the protesters - humans who can breathe underwater, Qyrl-dolphins and even some Rokea who serve Qyrl. They will come from the water. *All of this in a clear, serious and insistent voice.*

Stonewall: (And a Yes to Angelia to my last post.)

Carla: ((Awaiting result of dice roll afore posting))

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Carla: ((Carla remembers all the things the sword allowed her to do on the island...like get rid of the Dragons.))

Nabiki: *A quick nod and she's into the woods seeking any other dangers beyond the one they know is coming.* (per roll coming)

Carla: She slices the sword through the air, pointing it in the direction of the oncoming gunfire, and yells "YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!" before throwing the dragons beyond the castle walls.

Nabiki: 9,9,10,7,5,8,

Angelia: (ughs brb)

Carla: 3,2,4,

Sam O'Shea: *Looks at Feeds, claws opening and closing*

Silkie: *squeels as Harvey gets all awful and darts away the instant she's set down, heading towards the clearing*

John Feeds: Yes! *He says, apparently to noone in particular, before changing into his Gladius form.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Carla feels like she's not quite got the hang of this yet...it's got a different feel to it. Nabiki hears the Dragons continuing to make their way through the brambles, hears Silkie squeal, hears the gunfire and the random thokking of bullets as they land in trees, etc.

Carla: "Bollocks!"

Stonewall: 6,4,4,10,9,6,6,6,6,

Nabiki: *Bares her fangs, circling around to see if she can come up behind the dragons and surprise them.* (how many?)

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): 9,9,4,9,8,1,1,2,

Angelia: She moves out of the way of the sword but remains close to Carla, protectively as she keeps an eye out for further danger."

 

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): 7,2,7,8,5,5,2,

Nabiki: ((rolling stealth))

Nabiki: 7,10,9,9,5,9,7,9,

Nabiki: ((Now that's stealthy. *G*))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): As Nabiki moves through the woods to try and flank the Dragons, she's hit by a bullet. Harvey feels a sting in his back and knows he's been hit, too. (Both of you roll soak, please)

Angelia: (wow!)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): As Carla screams out "bollocks" she finds she's growing a pair.

Carla: She peers at the sword. Murmurs to it. "I know. It's all a bit strange. But let's try that again. Whatever I am, I'm still Queen." She taps into that strange, new, holy energy, trying to encourage it to move in the right direction. Maybe she started too big. She attempts to just move the dragons back to the cabin rather than throw them off the island entirely.

Harvey Forrester: 4,4,3,7,3,9,6,

Nabiki: 10,8,6,9,

Carla: That throws her. "NO! NO BOLLOCKS! DON'T YOU DARE!"

Nabiki: *A flinch, but maintains her silence.*

Sam O'Shea: *The shark-monster stares in Carla's direction, completely confused*

John Feeds: *The -white- sharkmonster keeps his attention on the forest, pacing around a tad, but keeping near the conch.*

Angelia: (LOLS)

 

Harvey Forrester: *focused on the forest, waiting, prepared to hold the dragons back*

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Stonewall, not certain what the hell HE is doing, either*

Silkie: ((waits for ST to say when she makes it into the clearing)) *Brer bunny keeps running.*

Carla: She becomes entirely focussed on (somehow) trying to remain female. Fear is etched in her entire body, terrified as she struggles to hold onto being a woman. "No... No..."

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Silkie makes it easily to the clearing. Nabiki and Harvey both feel the bullets hit their fur, but don't penetrate, or at least penetrate only enough to sting and are regenned away.

Silkie: *Sliding when she sees standing jaws, ready to run the other way.*

Silkie: 6,6,6,8,

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Carla stops the progression and finds herself a pregnant hermaphrodite, possessing all the equipment of both sexes.

Angelia: She looks at Carla with a very disturbed frown... well more a whisker twitch and ear wriggle that represents a frown but you get the idea. "Carla?"

Silkie: *Just stands there staring at the monsters, shivering indecisively as Silkie tries to get a grip on her host's delirium.*

Carla: "Vagina. C'mon, vagina!" She growls fiercely.

Nabiki: ((*LOL*))

Harvey Forrester: *despite the odd discussion going on behind him, he's watching for the Dragons, ready to defend the clearing from them if they get too close*

Carla: ((How often do you hear that in the middle of combat? *G*))


Stonewall: (Carla a hermaphrodite seems to be more true her character then either gender.)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Carla has a vagina. She just has the other stuff, too.

Nabiki: *Continuing to move to a strategic position, preparing to burn rage for speed.*

Sam O'Shea: *The big creature looks at Silkie, holding out a non-threatening hand*

Carla: ((No point telling the player that OOC, hun. I'm fully aware of it *G*. But this is all very strange to her))

Silkie: ((King Carla? Queen Carla? What will we call her? *L*))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Meanwhile, Nabiki is trying to sneak up on the dragons, and doing a very good sneaky job of it. Harvey is bravely and boldy keeping watch. Both of them are starting to feel a bit sweaty.

Harvey Forrester: ((we'll have to make up a word...shall I keyboard mash?))

Faris Chiaroscuro: She (we'll stick with "she" for now) slowly manages to stop the panic rising in her. Nothing feels wrong. She rests her free hand on her belly, just to reassure herself.

Silkie: *Okay, okay, it's a fish. It's Watches. Right? Right. She darts for the monster, placing her comparatively tiny hand in his... hand..paw..fin..thing.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Stoney proceeds with his rite. The random gunfire continues, then stops as the Dragons apparently run out of ammo.

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): 9,2,6,9,7,8,

Sam O'Shea: *His hand, claw, thing is rough, but closes gently around her hand. He grins at her. Then looks at Feeds, and waves one hand in a "get them out"-move*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): In this last burst of gunfire, Stoney and Sam are hit (roll soak, please)

Stonewall: 10,8,2,5,

 

Nabiki: *Intending to make a run and more or less flatten any dragons she sees, without killing anyone. A good concussion will suffice. Muscles bunching, tail slowly swaying in anticipation of the pounce.*

Faris Chiaroscuro: She exhales, then comes to her senses again. Looks around.

John Feeds: *Picking up the conch deftly and placing it in his mouth (that's how he carried it from the Sea, after all) he heads towards where Nabikiki and Harvey are to get them out of there.*

Silkie: *Wishes he wouldn't smile. He has WAY too many teeth.*

Harvey Forrester: ((Harvey is standing next to Feeds, and Nabiki isn't nearby, to my understanding...))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((roll for your attack Nabiki, there's no way they'll expect you with that stealth roll. There are three gunmen with their backs to you. If you get 3 sux with your attack roll at diff 7, you've knocked all 3 down))

Angelia: She puts a havy paw on Carla's shoulder, "Alright?" She grunts as she look saround worriedly.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): (Nabiki has slunk off into the woods and disappeared, Feeds, she's not near Harvey at all))

Nabiki: 6,4,10,5,3,9,8,7,

John Feeds: OOC: D'oh. My bad. DLP.

Nabiki: *She LEAPS!*

John Feeds: *Motioning with his claws to Harvey and Carla, he points away, towards the sea. Quite expressive for a big shark monster.*

John Feeds: OOC: Torgrim has to reboot, his machine's being all crazy.

Faris Chiaroscuro: "Yeah," she replies. A little too macho for a woman. A little too high for a man.

Nabiki: *Orange lightening with fur, in seconds a swath is cut through the woods and the gunmen are down.*

 

Angelia: She nods to Feeds and shouldering her stuff along with what ever bag Carla had, she starts herding the queen towards the water.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Nabiki easily swats the puny humans down with sufficient force to disable them. They drop the Uzis they were reloading into the brambles.

John Feeds: *Walking on the group's flank, towards the forest. He removes the conch from his mouth and reaches it down to Angelia, strangely careful with his huge claws.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Stoney feels the sting of the bullet as it hits him but it barely breaks the skin before bouncing off into the brambles.

Faris Chiaroscuro: She focusses on the sword in her hands, in the strangeness within herself. Again, she tries to banish the dragons to the cabin.

Faris Chiaroscuro: 7,10,4,

Nabiki: *Continues around, listening for the motions of her sentai as she runs a wide loop around their position.*

Stonewall: *He is singing and dancing to bring about the Storm sort of like a rain dance and at the point he is to make the sacrifice he sacrifices his wedding ring.*

Angelia: She carefully takes the conch shell and points Feeds back towards Stonewall.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): The effort of the attack, however, has made Nabiki a bit woozy. She's not feeling well at all.

Harvey Forrester: *continues to wait and watch, his demeanor saying that he's not going anywhere yet.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): 10,8,2,9,4,8,10,4,2,

John Feeds: *Nods silently and stalks off swiftly to walk in circles around Stonewall - apparently, he's important.*

Nabiki: *growls and staggers, sitting down a moment and applying her tongue to where the bullet stung her earlier*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): This time Carla feels her connection with the island reassert itself, and she easily moves those Nabiki just swatted into the cabin.

Silkie: *Sticks with Watches.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Harvey feels a bit hot and woozy. And Stoney's starting to feel himself a bit flushed.

Faris Chiaroscuro: "Anyone get shot?"

Faris Chiaroscuro: As an afterthought she checks herself over, just in case she got hit.

Nabiki: 8,1,4,4,5,2,6,

Nabiki: ((banish sickness))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Nabiki can't quite seem to focus enough on her gift, the adrenaline still moving through her.

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Nabiki: (next time state how many GN you're spending, also.)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Faris hasn't been hit.

Harvey Forrester: *he nods to Faris's question, waiting and watching*

Nabiki: *Gets to her feet, not sure what's wrong, and continues to circle the position of her comrades.*

Faris Chiaroscuro: She heaves a sigh of relief. She can't be going through all that again. Not now. She looks around to see who's there and who's not.

Angelia: (ughs they're leaving finally brb)

Nabiki -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((oopsie, sorry, it was 1. Guess that would be the default value anyway.))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): But it's apparent that the bullets are having a detrimental effect on those who have been hit by them, and the trees which have been hit are starting to blacken around thier wounds.

 

Faris Chiaroscuro: She looks to Harvey. "Who got shot?" There's an edge of concern in her voice.

Harvey Forrester: *forces english out of his Crinos mouth* "I did. Don't know about others."

Silkie: *Looking around, having a bad feeling about all this.*

Faris Chiaroscuro: She presses her lips together worriedly. "Who ~didn't~ get shot? If you got shot, stay right here. If you didn't, find the others and get them here, now."

Sam O'Shea: 9,2,3,2,4,10,

Stonewall: *Continues and and performing the rite.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((roll STA nabiki and Stoney to be able to keep moving))

Angelia: She eyes Faris a moment and looks around, making sure she's secure before fanning out in search of the others."

Sam O'Shea: (This connection is just quite simply too sucky)

John Feeds: *Moving out to where Nabiki went, moving suprisingly quiet for such a huge monster.* Na..Bi..Ki..Eyes...Na..Bi..Ki. *The guttural grunts coming from the monster hardly a voice.*

Nabiki: 2,4,9,9,

Faris Chiaroscuro: She moves over to Harvey, examining his wound.

Harvey Forrester: *stays right where he is*

Stonewall: (Remove first and replace with dancing.)

Nabiki: (perception to hear Feeds)

 

Nabiki: 6,6,5,7,6,5,

Stonewall: 8,4,4,4,

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Nabiki makes her way back to the others, but is feeling quite ill. Sam also throws off the bullet but starts feeling poorly.

Angelia: She looks around and shouts, "Harvey? Feeds? Sam?" Doing a sort of head count.

Nabiki: *Head a bit low as she prowls into the clearing.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Stoney is having difficulty keeping up with the dance, barely managing to put his feet where they belong. Sweat starts streaming off of him.

Faris Chiaroscuro: She tugs the K-Bar from the scabbard on her belt and flicks the blade from it. "I need you to stay in control, Harvey. The bullet has to come out. Can you do that?"

Sam O'Shea: *He raises one clawed hand. Growly, harsh voice* Was. Hit.

Silkie: 9,2,7,7,

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((that is if Stoney's in homid, since if he's in Crinos he won't sweat, but would probably pant, like Harvey and Nabiki are feeling obliged to))

Angelia: She points Sam back towards Faris. "To Car-la." She growls before looking over Stonewall with concern.

Nabiki: *Sits down and shakes her head, then has another try at curing herself.* (1 gnosis)

John Feeds: *As he's helped Nabiki back, he paces protectively and worriedly once again. Pointing to Angelia to get her attention.* Water. Important.

Silkie: *Holding Sam's hand, she leans and gives it a quick lick.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): There are no bullets in anybody, simply a darkened blackish purple bruise from the impact

Faris Chiaroscuro: She glances to the pacing John. "Don't let anyone leal themselves. Start getting the bullets out of the trees, out of the ground."

Nabiki: 6,6,4,1,8,8,2,

Faris Chiaroscuro: She frowns at the wound, or rather the bruise, then she groans loudly. "Oh.... God no..."

Harvey Forrester: "Am in control. Bullet not in me." *he manages to get out through the mouth not meant for human speach*

Angelia: She nods to John, and looks down at the conch shell before looking around for a safe place to put it.

Silkie: (1 gnosis)

Silkie: 4,9,5,3,6,5,

Faris Chiaroscuro: She attempts to convince sword and scabbard to come to some mutual agreement about size as she tries to sheath the sword in the way-too-tiny scabbard. She doesn't push too hard, in case the little sheath breaks.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): The woods are dense, the trees overgrown and packed closely together from the palisade they formed in the past. To go throug them searching for every bullet by hand would take a long time and require a very sharp set of senses.

Stonewall: (Stoney has not shifted that is why he only had 4 dice for the Sta roll.)

John Feeds: *Starts looking around to find the places where the bullets hit, intending to dig them out with his big claws.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Sam finds himself feeling much better after Silkie's lick, and Silkie is rewarded by the yummy taste of her favorite virus.

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((*lol*))

Nabiki: *Ears flattened back, she turns amber eyes on Faris. Something definitely wrong with Carla.*

Angelia: She pauses near Stonewall with a little frown. "Silk-E" She grunts.

 

Singha (Feb 5 pm): The sword slips easily into the the scabbard, which grows to accomodate it.

Sam O'Shea: *He straightens, looking at Silkie, Sending Silently to her* ~What did you do, Silkie?~

John Feeds: *Returning shortly thereafter, shifting down to Homid.* Take too long. I think that if you drink of my Water, Fire Snake answers a question, or maybe it was only that time. If they die otherwise, we could try.

Silkie: *As good as chocolate, maybe even better. She licks her lips, releasing Sam's hand and moving towards Stonewall.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Stoney is doggedly continuing with his rite, tho he must fight to keep his concentration and keep his body from giving out on him (1 WP to continue)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Clouds are forming overhead, roiling around above the clearing.

Silkie: ~sending back, although she's not a sender~ I licked you. *Watches Stony a minute, preparing to enter the dance with him.*

Sam O'Shea: *He shifts down to the Long Fins himself. Looks after Silkie, then at John* We don't have time for this. If Ellis Island is attacked, things will be really bad.

Harvey Forrester: *everyone's here, and there appears to be no actions from teh dragons for a bit. Shifts down to Homid*

John Feeds: It -will- be attacked. By powerful warriors, and Rokea. I can go to defend it while others do this.

Faris Chiaroscuro: She exhales with relief then closes the K-Bar and tucks it into the back pocket of her jeans. She looks around slowly, calming down, prodding her brain back into action. Sure, things went strange. Sure, she's not who or even what she was when she arrived here a few hours ago. Sure, she's got this strange, amazing thing bubbling away inside her, she's got her meat 'n' two veg back, she's got some fairly peculiar ideas regarding what she might be able to achieve, and the plants are sounding pained, but... She pauses, moving slowly toward the nearest tree.

Angelia: She nods approavingly to SIlkie that's what she was getting at before walking back to John, slowly, carefully, melting back to homid so not to spill the water.

John Feeds: *Looking seriously at Angelia as she approaches and nodding thankfully.* Can the Voice protect it in case the Hands are needed to kill?

Stonewall: *Ok, he uses a willpower.*

Angelia: "The water will be attacked?"

 

Harvey Forrester: "If it needs defending, I can go with Feeds."

Sam O'Shea: *He shakes his head* The Left Hand doesn't fight alone. Unless someone can tell me right now what the purpose is of remaining here any longer, I say we go right now.

Angelia: She nods to John, "I can. Must it stay in the shell?"

Silkie: *And she steps into the dance. She loves dancing, giving Stony a quick lick on the cheek as she makes a little hop and a spin.*

Silkie: (1gn)

Silkie: 4,2,10,1,9,2,

John Feeds: There will come Qyrl-creatures: humans who breathe underwater, twisted dolphins, Rokea who serve Qyrl. We will tear them apart.

John Feeds: The Shell is also Sea. It should stay there. *Nodding to Angelia.* I thought about a bottle, but Watches said to use Sea.

Nabiki: *Still feeling sick, ears back, not sure why she can't seem to heal herself she gives it one last try, licking the bruise and burning 2 gnosis this time.*

Nabiki: 2,6,7,5,7,7,4,

Angelia: She nods to john but drops her backpack and gets some of the water proof baggies out, taking one and fitting it tightly around the shell, tying it shut... just in case.

Silkie: ((Wonders if the dolphins are Silkie's old friends. *C*))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Silkie's lick is rewarded with that yummy taste and Stoney feels much better, recovering in time to put the perfect flourish on the end of his rite. The Clouds open up as he sacrifices his wedding ring, and a sweet smelling rain falls down on the island, cooling Harvey and Nabiki's fever slightly

Angelia: She glances to Sam and nods. "Do we stay and fight and plant the seeds here or do we go now to Ellis? Carla?"

Sam O'Shea: *He looks up at the rain, opening his mouth, letting it wash his face*

Stonewall: *Turns to Silkie.* Thank you and thank Sea.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Carla notes that the rain seems to wash away the blackened wounds in the wood, returning them to a healthy color.

Faris Chiaroscuro: She shakes her head, and looks to Angelia. "Ellis island. Innocents must be protected. Disarm the dragons - they are in the cabin." She places the sword, in its scabbard, at Stoney's feet then hurries into her wetsuit.

Harvey Forrester: *clearly enjoys the relief the rain brings, but turns to the others* "If we are needed on Ellis Island, then we should get there quickly."

Stonewall: *As it rains Stoney moves ove to the graves and starts digging a small hole.* Carla, please bring the Sword.

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Stonewall, then at Angelia* Is there more for him to do here now?

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((And all those with Mage or Mortal players who plan to be on Ellis island may go to Staten Island room with their Mages now, and I will set the scene there, running them simultaneously))

Faris Chiaroscuro: "Go, quickly. We'll catch up with you." She hops to Stoney, dragging the wetsuit up her legs.

Silkie: *Smiles and scampers over to Harvey in anticipation of another treat.*

Nabiki: *Slowly shifts down to homid and begins pulling on her wetsuit.*

Silkie: *Takes Harvey's hand and gives it a quick lick.* (1gn)

Silkie: 9,2,6,9,7,2,

Harvey Forrester: "How are we travelling? I don't have a wetsuit."

Stonewall: *Quickly examine the sword.* How do you release the right essence? *Plants the amethyst seed and waters it with the water of Mera. Then starts singing Boar's Song of Love. He focuses on the love of his family; mother, father, sister and brothers, wife and children and his nieces and nephews.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Along with the rain is a rainbow, that shimmers and moves slightly, like a snake

 

Singha (Feb 5 pm): After Silkie's lick Harvey feels much better.

Angelia: She makes sure the water is secure in the shell before she to moves over and starts to pull on her wetsuite.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Stoney can look at the sword, but when he tries to hold it he finds he cannot bring himself to touch it.

Silkie: *Looks around to see if she missed anyone.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Tho he can grab the scabbard.

Faris Chiaroscuro: Wetsuit hanging around her waist, she draws the sword from the sheath. "I may be able to expel the Iron King, but he needs a body to go into, or he'll die."

Silkie: *Nabiki is looking a little down, she moves towards her.*

Silkie: *And LICK of the hand* (1gn)

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Harvey and Feeds* We should be ready to go as soon as they get done with that stuff.

Silkie: 8,8,9,7,3,3,

Silkie: ((Silkie is on a roll. *c*))

Angelia: She pulls up her suit and smiles as she looks up over the rainbow. "Carla. Could he go into one of our bodies with out us having to die?"

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Nabiki feels the illness leave her and Silkie has that yummy taste on her tongue

John Feeds: *Nods to Sam.* I am ready.

Silkie: *smacks her lips and rolls her tongue around in her mouth, feeling sated*


Harvey Forrester: *heads to the woods to collect his clothing, but alas, he has no wetsuit*

Nabiki: *Let's out a sigh as the disease leaves her body.* "Our thanks to yourself and Sea, Silkie."

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Carla* Who are you trying to wake? Mas? Zi Teng? Malcolm?

Silkie: *Grins at Nabi, then looks at Carla. "I have room," she volunteers, patting herself.

Faris Chiaroscuro: "Just GO to Ellis Island! Please! People are going to die unless you get there quickly!"

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((roll int+enig all those who wish to solve the puzzle. then roll int+occult.))

Silkie: "I wouldn't mind sharing with Mas." *She liked him. He danced.*

Stonewall: Your group is a body. You ready to test your commitment to harmony? *And returns to singing.*

Faris Chiaroscuro: 9,9,1,1,6,

Sam O'Shea: 5,2,1,5,4,3,

Faris Chiaroscuro: 10,8,9,2,5,

Nabiki: 7,8,8,1,4,

Sam O'Shea: 3,3,4,9,8,

Nabiki: 6,9,9,3,

Stonewall: 7,9,5,7,9,1,1,2,8,

 

Angelia: 8,6,7,9,2,

John Feeds: *Nods to Faris.* Someone can hold on to my fin if they want. We go. *Starts running towards the sea.*

Angelia: 6,6,9,9,5,

Stonewall: 4,7,6,6,4,8,9,9,4,

Silkie: 7,6,2,9,6,

Silkie: 10,3,5,6,4,

Sam O'Shea: *Growls* Feeds. Wait. *Looks at Nabiki, Angelia, Harvey* Who goes?

Harvey Forrester: "Could I borrow a waterproof bag for my clothing?" *to Ang*

Faris Chiaroscuro: "GO!"

Harvey Forrester: "I'm going."

John Feeds: *Stops, but makes an impatient grunt as he looks over his shoulder.*

Nabiki: *Pulls the zipper up on her wetsuit, indicating her willingness.*

Silkie: *Looks up at Sam.* "I'm staying with you."

John Feeds: I will stay as a shark, patrolling the waters. No time for clothes. I'll send to Mind when they come.

Angelia: She tosses Harvey her bag, taking only the shell and necklace with her. She's already got her wetsuit on.

Angelia: (just waiting on the engima results here before taking more actions)


Angelia: (just waiting on the engima results here before taking more actions)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): They all put their heads together and realize that Stoney's idea of using the earth is a good one, but the body must be shaped, the way Adam was shaped from clay (or Man was shaped by Coyote, depending on your myth source) and there must be an animating force (not just the soul, but something that transforms the earth into flesh.

Harvey Forrester: *stuffs his clothing into the bag, then follows after Feeds* "I'm coming with you."

Faris Chiaroscuro: "Those people are on Ellis Island because we arranged for it to be so! The Rainmakers have left! Those people are innocent, undefended, and human. Their lives are our responsibility. I swear to you, Watches-the-Wound, there will be hell to pay. Literally. Let them go."

Sam O'Shea: *He nods* Eyes, Hands, Voice and Mind move out. Heart, try to catch up with Spine before you go. *Starts running towards the water* Those who swim slow, catch a hike with me and Feeds*

John Feeds: *Nods to Harvey.* My skin will be rough, you might get cut. Go on land and get dressed when we get there, and I stay in water. One of us in Sea, one out.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): The fact that they are a 'body' could mean they could be the animating force, but they must each give something that represents what they are to that body. And since the seed is a seed, it may need to grow into fullness.

Nabiki: *Picking up her bag with her clothes, looking to Watches for the final word.*

John Feeds: *With that, he starts running towards the water as well. The clothes will be torn when he becomes Squamus, but who cares about clothes? Running like the wind.*

Harvey Forrester: "Agreed." *goes with Feeds, ready to jump into the water as he is, and grab onto his fin* ((with shift the hand that's grabbing the fin so that he isn't cut))

John Feeds: *Sending to Watches as they run.* ~We stay in the water and attack the creatures from behind?~

Silkie: *darts after Sam*

Sam O'Shea: ~Sends Silently~ Yes. Eyes, Voice and Right hand go on land, we stay in the water first. I go up when needed, you send news~

Nabiki: *Turns and runs for the beach, intending to catch a ride with the larger rokea, Feeds.*

Angelia: She looks over them all. "We need to bring Stonewall with us Carla. We need the seed."

Stonewall: *Stoney starts forming the body from the mud into a human shape as he sings. Allowing the other to be part or not to be as they decide.*

Faris Chiaroscuro: She gazes at Stonewall, then rests sword and scabbard on the earth, hands on both as she urges the ground to mould forth, give birth even, to a little baby lion cub of mud.

John Feeds: *As he reaches the water, he throws himself into it and changes into Chasmus, the monstershark...big enough for quite a few to hold on indeed.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((You guys, he's already planted the seed. All you have to do is add your bits...but you're all scattering.))

Silkie: *or not if he doesn't move, sliding her hand into his, instead*

Sam O'Shea: *He's still within earshot*

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((That's 'cause they all doing what the heart says, mad crazy foo's *G*))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((*nods* *G*))

Nabiki: ((Because we're all idiots. *L*)) *Hesitates and looks back.* "Should we..."

Sam O'Shea: (When the ritualist doesn't give any instructions on what's going on and what's needed, Watches as a ritualist tends to assume that it's all taken care of. *s*)

Faris Chiaroscuro: She smiles a little as she sees what Stoney is doing, intrigued that they should have such different outcomes to the same idea.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((and simply in the name of expediency I will give you guys a per+occult roll))

Faris Chiaroscuro: 5,3,4,5,7,

: So who runs this site?

Nabiki: *Fingers going to her earring.*


Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((WAtches, you all as a group just figured out what needed to be done. That's what the enig and occult rolls were for.))

Stonewall: (He has planted it and watered it and is forming the body already.)

Angelia: She pads up to where Faris and stonewall are and looks over them before setting the carefully wrapped shell near Carla, propped against stones so it will not spill. She looks over those scattering and frowns, "Carla. Are we making the body here or there? We can't be broken up like this."

: ((Lurker, I'll meet you in the OOC room))

: Alright

Sam O'Shea: (OOC: OK, I misinterpreted that a bit. Since I didn't get a single success on my roll. Sorry. Modify earlier statement to this:) *Preparing to leave, he grunts* What to add...

Faris Chiaroscuro: She shakes her head at Angelia. "You don't understand. We're using Malcolm's body for Malcolm. Tomorrow," she adds. "But today we're using the earth for the Iron King. He is but a seed, he may need time to grow."

John Feeds: OOC: John will still run, since the only worthwhile thing he had was the shell given to Angelia. The reason I didn't roll is because his thoughts are on other matters entirely.

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Faris Chiaroscuro: (Once again...to underscore...there in the rainbow is a serpent. It is arching across the sky in the direction of Ellis Island.))

Harvey Forrester: ((Harvey will also still be running, but he'll give the only thing HE has that's worthwhile, the Blood Bead, to Ang, as he grabbed the bag for his clothing))

Faris Chiaroscuro -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((Ok, I'm starting to think I have some mental problem. I didn't even know there was a rainbow, let alone a serpent in it. I'm losing the plot))

Nabiki: *Pulls off her earring and hands it to Angelia, then follows Harv and Feeds.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Faris Chiaroscuro: ((THere are alot of posts and alot of things going on, things get unweildy with this many players))

Angelia: She nods a little as she looks over the mud man that's being formed. Though she lingers back, a hand on the shell still to insure it stays upright. (I am the guardian of the treasures!)

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((I ate mine))

 


Nabiki: ((That's right Ang. You're a rich voice. *G*))

Harvey Forrester: ((you ate it because you were a crazy woman. Now look at you! you're a crazy man-woman!))

Sam O'Shea: *Seeing the others invest the gifts, he grunts. Might as well. They were symbolic to begin with. Hands Angelia the Pearl*

Silkie: ((Yes, Faris has destroyed all hope by eating her gift.))

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((*Giggles*))

Stonewall: Angelia, why are you collect those?

John Feeds: OOC: As previously stated, he'll go Chasmus when reaching the sea. And yes, he does intend to swim a bit deep, so that the headlines don't read "Aliens ride monster shark to Ellis Island" tomorrow :P

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Ang gathers the items, the only thing missing is Carla's rose petal, and Jer's gift, which will arrive when he finds the truth of Trev's betrayl and acheives justice. Which also may be the time needed for the incubatoin of the body

Faris Chiaroscuro: She shakes her head as people start dumping their gifts on Angelia. "Stop. Stop! Mind, think! Fire Snake gave us these gifts. These are not what we are, they are his gifts to us! Think!"

Angelia: She takes Sam's pearl as well and nods before looking back to Stonewall, "They're gifts for the king." Though she doesn't take off her choker, having decided already it is not what she's giving to the mud man.

Silkie: *Looks up at Sam, wondering if they're going to do anything or just stand around.*

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Carla* Maybe Fire Snake also thinks that getting this King back is a good start? A good idea for the new Year? They were our gifts for him, once, representing what we are.

Faris Chiaroscuro: "They used to represent what you are. Then Fire Snake altered them and gave them back. You have no idea what they are now and you're throwing them away!"

Stonewall: Don't that have to give a what they reprisent. Right Hand a Right Hand Print, Left Hand a Left Hand Print, The Eyes make the Eyes and so forth?

John Feeds: OOC: Just to point out, John gave Angelia the water for safekeeping before running off, after saying it's important. Anything else has been lost on him, especially sacrificing it or something of the kind. o.O

 

Angelia: She looks to Carla and shakes her head as she starts tucking things away into the bag with the shell so they all will be kept safe. "Sam... maybe you should think of something closer to what you are. I will give the king breath and song. I am the voice. Perhaps you should give him wisdom rather then your pearl."

Sam O'Shea: *He grunts* So. What was the consensus. Something to represent what we are now? I don't know what kind of symbolism you people are aiming for. I've been dragging the damn corpse back and forth across half the world so that you can use it, now you want to use dirt. Fine. You want bits of us to contribute to it, then?

Angelia: (Nods JOhn, I'm guarding your water)

John Feeds: OOC: *Phew* John dun' like peopl' takin' his water.

Silkie: ((Heh. The humans are slaughtered while they debate.))

Faris Chiaroscuro: "SAM!" She closes her eyes. Exhales. Then opens them, calm again. "The corpse is for tomorrow. The dirt is for today. There are two people we are trying to raise, not one. One is Malcolm, the other is here." They're doomed.

Angelia: She shakes her head to Sam. "No... this is Chaz. We will use Malcolm's body tomorrow at Ellis."

John Feeds: OOC: Hey, John is swimming along with Harvey and Nabiki last I checked.

Harvey Forrester: ((Harvey only has a vague idea what's going on, and he knows that he's been yelled at to go to Ellis Island. Thus, he's with Feeds, heading to Ellis Island.))

Sam O'Shea: *A grunt* Alright. So you are trying to raise all of them. Like I asked about a good while ago. *He walks over to the outline of the man-figure, and kneels beside it, whispering into it's ear, sort of*

Stonewall: (Now you know why Stoney works alone.)

Silkie: ((Heh heh.))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((in all fairness, for a body that's just been born, it's quite common for the hands, mind, etc, to be a bit uncoordinated. *G*))

Silkie: ((brb, puppy needs a potty break))

Harvey Forrester: ((Yay! Together, the 7 of us have the power of ONE infant! We rule!))

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((Nah, Stoney works alone 'cause he thinks he don't need nobody else *G*))

Stonewall: *When Sam is done whispering.* Call the others back so the Body of Harmony can succeed.

Faris Chiaroscuro: She moves to the mud and draws a crude heart in the centre of the chest with her fingertip, grinning gently and "colouring" it in with her finger to make it smooth and flawless. Then she kisses it.

Sam O'Shea: *He stands, and concentrates on Sending to Feeds. This whole thing didn't take long, so they can't have gotten far* ~Silent Sending~ Feeds, come back. There is very important things to do here. We will be in time. Come back now with the rest.

John Feeds: *On his way running, he suddenly stops with a loud grunt.* Mind says go back, we go back. *Low growl in his throat as he turns and runs in the opposite direction.*

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Stonewall: ((The others don't have to return if the body is still gestating. It has now a mind and a voice, plus a heart if Carla gives it.))

Angelia: She checks the water again paranoidly before moving over to the mud man and carefully shaping his lips, doing her best to imitate Mas' mouth. She leans down over him and presses her own to the mud, offering her breath before whispering a string of fairly random words ending in a quiet blessing.

Stonewall: *The new Chaz has the heart from a hermaphrodite. He is going to be bi-sexual.)

Sam O'Shea: (Chaz has been all sorts of odd things in the past, so he'll cope. *s*)

Sam O'Shea: (Chaz has been all sorts of odd things in the past, so he'll cope. *s*)

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((Like he wasn't? *G*))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((LMAO at Stony's post.))

Stonewall -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): (What is the offers die in battle he would be born incomplete.)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((Chaz was probably the most strongly hetero aside from tyler of any of my C's, PC or NPC))

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Stonewall: ((True, good point. *G*))

 

Silkie: ((back))

Sam O'Shea: *Watches the process, waiting for them all to get done*

John Feeds: OOC: Do we come back and get things explained?

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((to speed things up, let's say if they return, they have returned, and not waste time posting the logistics.))

Stonewall -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): (Plan for the worst and things might work out.)

Sam O'Shea: *Explains to John and the rest what has been done and what to do*

Angelia: (Well he's going to have a little italian woman's voice too. I think sexual orientation is the least of his worries)

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Yes, if John comes back as instructed, it's all explained to you all.

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((*lol*))

Nabiki: *Putting on the brakes as Feeds reverses course and damn near runs over her.*

Sam O'Shea: (Not to mention that he'll be thinking like a predatory fish)

John Feeds: *When what he is to do is explained, he leans down and creates a rather good replica of an arm and hand in the sand - making sure it is a strong arm of course.*

Silkie: *Looks up at Sam.* "Should I give something?"

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((So he'll be a bisexual man with an italian woman's voice and a good wanking arm. Nice one!))

Stonewall: *Steps back and sings while the other play out their part.*

Harvey Forrester: *follows Feeds's example with the other arm*

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Silkie, shakes his head* I don't think so. We are offering him the Body of Harmony. You've got other duties.


Harvey Forrester: *follows Feeds's example with the other arm*

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Silkie, shakes his head* I don't think so. We are offering him the Body of Harmony. You've got other duties.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): *modifies John's post to him sculpting the arm*

John Feeds: OOC: He might very well need it, with those qualifications going for him.

John Feeds: OOC: Yes, sculpting. Urgh. :-o

Stonewall: 8,4,1,8,4,4,10,2,

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Jer returns from the boat wth the Dragons with the news that they are leaving the island, and then adds his gift to the body.

Singha (Feb 5 pm) -> Singha (Feb 5 pm): 2,7,4,1,2,2,4,10,4,

John Feeds: *As an aside to Angelia while people are doing their thing.* When I sipped it, I got one question answered from Fire Snake. If you need to, try it. *Pacing impatiently, waiting to get the signal to go.*

Angelia: She nods to John, "When it is time I will. Thank you brother Feeds."

John Feeds: No need to thank me. We are slewmates now. *Smiles, and it's an honest, open, and suprisingly warm smile. He actually -can- come off as rather nice.*

Nabiki: *Will take her turn and give the mud man a pair of eyes.

 

 

Jeremy Thomas: 5,8,5,8,4,2,

Jeremy Thomas: 4,4,8,7,8,8,9,

Jeremy Thomas: 9,8,8,9,5,

Jeremy Thomas: 2,9,9,8,

 

Singha Sutra: (9:16 PM) Through all that discussion, Jer realizes that the One Who Watches is Trevor Dunne, and that the evil wyrmy badness that he brought to NYC is that big evil bad thingie that Stoney pushed into the silver lake.

Ravyn: (9:17 PM) Hooo, boy.

Singha Sutra: (9:18 PM) The Dragons believe (or wish to believe for political reasons) that Trevor brought Roosthorn (the evil wyrm creature that was possessing Malc's body) to NYC in service to Roosthorn (who Trev indeed used to serve, but if he still did that would mean Ang and Carla are knowingly serving Roosthorn, too, which is not what happened at all according to what Jer experienced in that big battle)

Singha Sutra: (9:21 PM) And it's also not something Jer believes that Firesnake or that representative of Gaia (the beautiful woman who held the sword)) would support.  And there is the whole question of Firesnake himself materializing to save Trevor from an angry Griffin spirit, which was witnessed by several Dragons patrolling in a boat, but they say it's because Trev commanded Firesnake via that blasted sword.

Singha Sutra: (9:21 PM) Does Jer have politics?

Ravyn: (9:21 PM) Yes, of 1

Ravyn: (9:22 PM) Hmmm....is it possible that Jer might know what Tribe Trevor is?

Singha Sutra: (9:22 PM) okies roll Int+politics

Ravyn: (9:22 PM) DAMN, I love this die roller!

Singha Sutra: (9:22 PM) Trev, being Malcolm De Witt's personal bodyguard, is widely assumed among the Garou to be a Simba kinfolk

Singha Sutra: (9:24 PM) Politically the Dragons (or whoever is giving them their orders) is benefitting enormously from slandering Trevor to try and keep more people from joining in with those in the Courts who follow the Firesnake.

Ravyn: (9:25 PM) ((On aside note, do you know how to delete character sheets out of the database?  I have two vamps with names & no stats that need to go...))

Singha Sutra: (9:25 PM) It is politically advantageous for them to spread lies about Trev's true purpose and motives, and about what really happened on the island where Jer and the others did that big battle  (and no, sorry no clue about the database, I'venot even experimented withit and don't plan to until after April 5)

Singha Sutra: (9:28 PM) The fact that it is ~true~ that Trev brought this great wyrm thing to NYC is being played up to prove that Firesnake is corrupt, when in fact the Dragons are completely ignoring ~why~ he brought it, and that his intention was in fact to trap said wyrm creature in a way that it could do no further harm to Gaia

Ravyn: (9:29 PM) Hmmm...okie.  Well, the best plan is to approach the matter from the truth...the question is how to make the Courts believe the Truth (and, even better, the Dragons to admit it).

Ravyn: (9:29 PM) Is there anyone heavily respected in the Courts that could be called upon to testify on Trevor's behalf?

Singha Sutra: (9:30 PM) And the fact that Trev's plan succeeded is really not something the Dragons want to get out, and Jer knows that there is a chance that if he pushes for the Dragons to admit they're wrong, that the Dragons may choose to try and kill him (Jer) rather than risk the loss of face and the accompanying shame to their family

Singha Sutra: (9:30 PM) No one in the Courts was actually present during the battle where Jer participated.

Ravyn: (9:30 PM) Didn't think so.

Singha Sutra: (9:31 PM) It was all Garou and Sunset folk.  Stoney has had dealings with the Courts before, but nobody trusts Stoney (it's his metis flaw)

Singha Sutra: (9:32 PM) ((and I'm  gonna check on something, I'll be around for another 20 minutes or so if this one show is a re-run))

Ravyn: (9:32 PM) K

Singha Sutra: (9:32 PM) meanwhile you think on what Jer would do to try and give the Dragons a way to save face and still serve justice. *G*

Singha Sutra: (9:37 PM) not sure if it's a rerun yet or not, but I'll check in during the commercials if you want. *G*

Ravyn: (9:38 PM) No problem.  I'm gonna have to think on this one, anyway.

Singha Sutra: (9:39 PM) you can roll wits+politics if you want. *G*

Ravyn: (9:39 PM) I'll give it a shot...

Ravyn: (9:40 PM) (Spending WP)

Ravyn: (9:42 PM) My only thought is to suggest the Dragons get involved in stopping the Get's attempts to enslave all non-Caucasion Garou, and give them the bulk of the credit, so that any loss of face they might suffer in this situation is heavily countered (All said with severe tact and delicacy).

Singha Sutra: (9:53 PM) That's not a bad idea.  They take the bait on that one, and agree to with draw from the island in exchange for that major secret about the Garou, tho they still insist that Jer bring Trev to the Court to answer to the charges levied against him

Ravyn: (9:57 PM) And, besides just holding that secret, are they willing to help resolve the Get situation with as little violence as possible in return for an assured fair trial, free of slander (not that he would directly insinuate where any slander was coming from, of course)?

Singha Sutra: (10:00 PM) Well, they've been the ones trying to bring Trev in to answer to the charges, but the guy keeps slipping out from under their fingers

Singha Sutra: (10:01 PM) it's not up to them to try him, just to bring him in.  If Jer brings the evidence and witnesses then it's going to be hard to disprove Trev's intentions

Singha Sutra: (10:02 PM) and they've not really slandered anybody since what they charged was true ( Trev did bring this evil thing to NYC) so they'll save face that way if the thing goes to court.   (it's just that they supressed evidence as to Trev's motives for their own political gain)

Ravyn: (10:03 PM) Jeremy will agree to help bring Trev in for a fair trial, but he will not bring him into a rigged stage show with an assured execution as the final act.  He will bring Trevor in, and bring the necessary evidence and witnesses.  He simply asks for some time to gather the evidence and negotiate Trevor's surrender for trial.

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

 

-----------------
Sam O'Shea: *As people add their gifts, he grunts* You got all you need now, so we can go?

Angelia: She picks up the well wrapped items. Making sure the knots are well tied. "John, I'm not sure how to take this with is. The water won't be lost if it spills at least."

Stonewall: *Shrugs.* I think so. Good Luck and may the Great Mother watch over you.

Faris Chiaroscuro: She rests the sword on the top of the mud-man-body-thing, the hilt at his hands, her own hand resting atop it.

John Feeds: *He nods to Angelia.* Worked on the way here. Anyway, we go?

Faris Chiaroscuro: She looks questioningly to Stonewall. "Is he ready, do you think?"

Angelia: She looks over Faris carefully, "Are you alright or should I stay?" She tugs up the strap on her wet suit then.

Stonewall: Is he out of the sword? All seven have given their part, her was give the blood and the body and the seed. So if he is out of the sword I will watch over him to give him time.

Faris Chiaroscuro: She shakes her head. "Stay a moment, Angelia." Then she closes her eyes, reaching out to the sword.

Sam O'Shea: *He mutters to Angelia* How is the rest going to get to the island? Those who don't swim with us now, might not get there for ages.

Silkie: *Perks up.* Want me to steal a boat? *Oh, she's been dying to try one of those ever since her ride on one.*

Angelia: She pauses to remain near Faris and looks to sam with a bit of a frown. "I do not know Mind."

Faris Chiaroscuro: Does her damndest to evict the Iron King into his new body.

Sam O'Shea: *Quietly* Spine said the dragons are leaving.

Faris Chiaroscuro: Or rather, politely explain to him that there is one waiting for him, then guide him to it.

Angelia: She holds up a hand, "Sam can you stay to guide us while John takes the others?"

John Feeds: We can swim in Fighting Jaws, then more can hold on.

Silkie: Oh. *thinks a moment* Good. *They did shoot at her afterall.*

 

Singha (Feb 5 pm): The sun is going down, and there is still a sparkling rainbow in the sky, undulating like a serpent in the direction of Ellis Island.

Sam O'Shea: *He looks at Feeds* Good idea. Swim deep in Fighting Jaws, bring Eyes, Spine and Right Hand. I wait and bring Heart and Voice.

Faris Chiaroscuro: 3,9,4,6,9,7,8,

Sam O'Shea: *He blinks. Looks at the rainbow* Is it normal for that to act that way?

John Feeds: Eyes, Spine, Right Hand, come! *Once again running.*

Silkie: "Maybe it's a travelling rainbow. Like a bridge."

Singha (Feb 5 pm): Carla feels Mas and Zi Teng leave the sword, and gets the strangest feeling that she has fertilized the seed.

Harvey Forrester: *follows after Feeds*

Stonewall: *Moves to Angelia. And point to the Rainbow.* It might be a path to your the island similar to a Moon Bridge.

Sam O'Shea: *He blinks* Like the way we danced here...FEEDS! Wait!

John Feeds: *Stops again, before having had time to get far. Spins around.* What NOW? *The Brightwater barks, a tiny spark of the rage contained in his frame escaping.*

Faris Chiaroscuro: Oooo, ok, THAT was strange. She blinks, then smiles to Stonewall. "Thank you." She lifts the sword and sheathes it once more, then nods to Angelia and starts jogging toward the rainbow.

Angelia: She tilts her head looking over the rainbow and nods. "Mmmm I think that's exactly what it is." (Is the down side of the rainbow on the island some where?)

Sam O'Shea: *He grunts, pointing at the rainbow* Try that first! Remember when Silkie and I came here that time out of nowhere, it was from Ellis Island!

John Feeds: *He nods, calming already.* How?

Silkie: "We could dance over it." Hopping around a little, excitedly.

Stonewall: *Stay to watch over Mudman.*

Sam O'Shea: *He waves for them to follow* Spirit way. We danced a ritual on Ellis Island and came here. Rainbow might be a symbol of the same way, it showed up when Stonewall completed his Rite.

Singha (Feb 5 pm): The rainbow, is, indeed a bridge, once everyone crosses into the umbra, they see it moves from the clearing here up into the sky toward Ellis island.

Stonewall: Lead them Silkie. *chuckles a little.*

Faris Chiaroscuro: Zooooooooooooooooom!

Angelia: She laughs a little and waves her fingers at the mud man befor checking the she has all the treasures and starting after Carla.

John Feeds: *Looking around...well now, there are wonders in Unsea too.*

Harvey Forrester: *heads after Carla and Ang*

Faris Chiaroscuro: Damn those impulsive hearts.

Sam O'Shea: *Follows the Heart*

Silkie: *Takes the lead at Stony's behest, and dances into the rainbow if she can.*

Faris Chiaroscuro: ((*Gone to SI*))

Singha (Feb 5 pm): ((ok, everybody to Staten Island who's going. I have an hour left before I have to head out))
