Unfortunately they didn’t know exactly who they were going to support. They have the following candidates to choose from:</p><p></p><p><strong>Alva of the Fields</strong>- Old Female Farmer. Her platform is that if elected Feathered One, she will sacrifice criminals on a monthly basis (or more frequently if they have a surplus of criminals), instead of waiting for the volcano to become angry rage to provide the sacrifices. She also would like to make it harder for non-citizens to learn of the laws, so less locals would be sacrificed this way. This is an untried theory. Mild support, however considered a front runner among the radical thinkers.</p><p></p><p><strong>Ingemar of the Zar Sea</strong>- Old Male Lifetime Politician (former sheriff and tax collector). He is running a status-quo campaign for keeping everything the same as the last Feathered One. He is promoting the idea that change is bad. Conservative front runner.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Jacobine of the Dom Sea</strong>- Old Male old Sailor. Running on a platform of “Sacrifice pirates and foreigners, not the locals.” If elected will provide tax breaks to inns and bars that... encourage, foreigners to overindulge in alcohol, who can then be arrested for various crimes. Is willing to consider law changes that would make it harder for foreigners to get access to the Law books. Since Jacobine is reasonably elderly (older then all other candidates), it is hoped he may not care much if he has to go into the volcano. Moderate Front runner.</p><p></p><p><strong>Lucia of the Old Hill</strong> - Young Female Miller. She is running on the radical platform that Abalon should make arrangements with other nations to buy their criminals, to be thrown into the volcano when all the “hardened and serious” criminals have already been tossed in. She has even hinted at the even more radical idea of buying slaves from Pirate crews in times of “great need” to feed to the volcano. Her theory is that this would eliminate the need to throw people who have committed petty crimes in all together. Which would increase trade for the entire archipelago. Of course there are some serious logistical issues with this plan (ie storing, and shipping criminals/slaves at a minimal cost, but making sure they arrive at the right time to feed the volcano (which is unpredictable)). Radical Longshot.</p><p></p><p><strong>Nils of the Zar Sea</strong> - Middle aged Man. Nils is telling anyone just about anything that he thinks they want to hear. He appears very agreeable, but doesn’t actually appear to have a plan or legislative agenda. Typical politician, he is clearly making a lot of promises he can't keep (because they are contradictory). Considered a dark horse. Might win if too many votes get split between the others. </p><p></p><p>************************</p><p></p><p>On the second night of the election process, A-Dom (who is broken out of jail for the night) and Gareth go to visit Johan’s parents. His parents welcome them in and then closes the door, the draps, the blinds, etc. </p><p></p><p><strong>Mom</strong>: <em>So how have you been, what have you been doing?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Well I was a fisher, I was a guard, I’m Exalted now.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Both Parents</strong>: <em>What?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>I now have Super Powers brought on by the Unconquored Sun. You know, like the Dragon Bloods, but less evil.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Both Parents</strong>: <em>So you’re Anathema?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>No.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>This is from your side of the family!</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>No, no, it’s not related. I can do nifty things, and It’s not evil. I’m not Anathema.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Yea, your not going to move back into your room.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>I know that, I have this whole deal with saving the world. My last year was very productive.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Mom</strong>: <em>Do you have children?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>:<em> YES!</em></p><p></p><p>Gareth breaks out in hysterical laughter.</p><p></p><p><strong>Mom</strong> (happy): <em>Where are they?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Well I left them up north.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Why is your friend laughing like that.</em></p><p></p><p>Gareth continues to laugh.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>:<em> He’s Anathema. Yea, so they are up north with their mother, as I’m not much for baby raising. (after a pause) So I pushed the Feathered One into the Volcano.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Oh so that was you? I wondered how he got the hat.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Yea, I knew where it was.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Don’t do that again.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (to Gareth): <em>I need a house. Would you do me a favor? I’ll get the lumber.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong> (finally stops laughing): <em>Yea.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>I’ll get my cousin’s house rebuilt. Cause I’m responsible.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Good. Wait? He builds houses?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>He builds ships, and houses, and temples...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Well ships is ok but houses...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Well he’s a little (teeters his hand back and forth). They’re not proper people. Anyway, we need to get in good with the new management.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Ok, that makes sense.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Yea, we need to get permission from them. We need someone who’s ok with Anathema. So we are interested in someone who is for foreigners. Not some 'come to the volcano and we’ll help ya.'</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Nobody on Abalone is really for foreigners.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Someone who’s less likely to throw us into the volcano before saying Hi.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>That’s like half the candidates.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>So no one would be best?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>They are trying to get a job, where they will eventually be thrown into a volcano. Not the best way to attract thoughtful and calm people.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>So how does the whole voting things go?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Mom</strong>: <em>Well you walk into a booth, think of who you want to vote for, then your done. Well a little light comes on to tell you your done too.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>How does it know you’re a citizen? What if a foreigner goes in there?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Mom</strong>: <em>They don’t come out.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Right, I’m not voting. How do you get a tally?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Mom</strong>: <em>A loud voice booms the announcement of the winner all across the Archapelago.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (to Gareth): <em>You’re a schmuck! Do you know that?</em></p><p></p><p>His parents explain to him that he was born in Abalon, and nobody took the time to do the paperwork to remove his citizen ship. Since he is suppose to be thrown into a volcano when caught.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>I’m working on getting the whole...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>You’re suppose to be thrown into a volcano?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Yea, we’re going to fix that. Because we can. We’re nifty, with super powers, and very productive, and I’m married.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>What’s your wife’s name again?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Zo. Anyway, we need to go beat down the Dragon Bloods because they are naughty. So we’re working to beat down the dragon bloods and make them act like the first age.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>When?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Way back when. Watch!</em> *anima flair*</p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Yea, we need thicker draps.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>This is going very well, I was thinking there would be more yelling and throwing of things. Alright, I’ve got to go back to jail...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Mom</strong>: <em>Umm...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>I insulted the Feathered One...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Mom</strong>: <em>If you’re in jail why were you not thrown in on that previous charge.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>I can look like other people.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>Ah, so that’s how you got a wife. </em></p><p></p><p>His mom made him a sandwich to take back to jail.</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Better than the food you get in jail.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>She makes better tools. Yea, so we’re just going off to Heaven and back. Starting to make some kind of trading post. Try to not spread it around that I’m back...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dad</strong>: <em>We’ll keep it under our hats.</em></p><p></p><p>Gareth and A-Dom leave. On the way out...</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Zoe?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Zo, yea. I’m sure I’ll find a woman named Zo somewhere?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Or make a girl change her name?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>For at least a day or two.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Or find a fresh one?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>No... no... bad things happen apparently. That’s not a proper burial.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Want me to check on your children?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Wait... what if our past selves did have kids?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Well we probably have decedents somewhere. </em></p><p></p><p>(Many jokes about stealing babies, making zombie babies, etc, ensues)</p><p></p><p>Gareth started making Ingmar promotional materials, using A-Dom’s mothers shop. Like daggers, torches, pitch forks, buttons, etc, that all said Vote for Ingmar on them. </p><p></p><p>Jahar, Jades’s Luck and Gareth went to talk to Ingmar on the third night at an Inn. Before going in, Jahar realized that being a Dynast, he might be someone that Ingmar doesn’t want to talk to. So he nominates Jade’s Luck to do all the talking. So Jade’s Luck used her veil to do makeup to make herself look older (like 25) and more beautiful (appearance 5), and took the time to dress appropriately. </p><p></p><p>Ingmar greets Jade’s luck politely (because of many social charms in effect). Jade’s Luck explains that she is representing a new trading company, and they would like to support him his bid for Feathered One. He’s quite happy that they support his attempt to keep everything the same. The very best thing, as foreigners that they can do to help him get elected is to not let anyone know they support him. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>Could you use anything to help promote yourself?</em> *She hands him a dagger.*</p><p></p><p><strong>Ingmar</strong> *looks at it, reads it, looks puzzled*. (to his lacky): <em>People can hand out things during an election?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Lacky</strong>: <em>I’ve heard of it.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ingmar</strong>: <em>It’s very odd. Why would you give people daggers?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>But look at the fine craftsmanship!</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ingmar</strong>: <em>Yes, well it’s very nice. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just very odd.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>Well the broaches are more... umm... less stabby.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Killing two birds with one stone! You show off my merchandise and you have...</em> *motions at the slogan*</p><p></p><p><strong>Ingmar</strong>: <em>You can keep the daggers and such, I can use some of the broaches. I can have some of my people wear them.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong>: <em>Will you speaking at other gatherings?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ingmar</strong>:<em> BAH, Why bother?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong>: <em>What about having other people speak for you.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ingmar</strong>: <em>Why would I do that?</em></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck tries to explain why talking to people is beneficial during an election campaign. Ingmar just plans to go on doing things the same old way.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>Could we support you by going around supporting all the other candidates?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ingmar</strong>: <em>I really don’t want you to do that. I’m going to win this election fair and square. Because the people want ME!</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>People like you?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ingmar</strong>: <em>They know who I am!</em></p><p></p><p>Ingmar goes off the talk to the locals who are around. The group is now thrown into some debate as to whether they are backing the right person. So the group starts discussing supporting Nils, then blackmailing or threatening him after he has won. The best way they can think of get Nils to win, is to “support” all the other candidates to split up the votes. This involves discussing “poisoning” the candidates.</p><p></p><p><strong>Ceri</strong>: <em>You’re talking metaphorical poisoning right?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong>:<em> Of course I’m talking about political poisoning. I don’t deal in Poisons.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>(shrieky voice): <em>WHAT?!?</em></p><p></p><p>So Tiger, Jahar, and Jade’s Luck goes to talk to Nils to see how he is as a candidate. In the bad part of town. Gareth stays on the boat (secretly baking “Vote for Ingmar” muffins).</p><p></p><p><strong>Nils</strong>: <em>No more taxes! We’ll only sacrifice rich people! Free fish on Friday! Unless people want to sell it. You tell me what you want. I’m for the people! Puppies for every child.</em></p><p></p><p>Jahar walks in, listens for a minute, shoulders slump. Decides to listen to him for a few minutes, even though he clearly isn’t what Jahar wants in a candidate.</p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger</strong>: <em>Well he’ll go into the Volcano fast.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong>: <em>He’ll mess up the island.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger</strong>: <em>Once we go through the portal, I don’t care about the island.</em></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck decides to try and find out what his “real” agenda is. But decides to not use Terrifying Apparition of Glory to find out. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong>: <em>Why are you doing this?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Nils</strong>: <em>I want to run the country. I can be a better leader then the rest of these people.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>You know you’ll end up in the volcano.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Nils</strong>: <em>No, I’ll die of old age. Everyone will love me.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong> (to the group): <em>I think we know the truth now. He wants to run the country.</em></p><p></p><p>So the group starts (on the 3rd day of a 5 day election process) discussing who they want to make win... again. So eventually, they decide to just let the election go on as normal, and deal with whoever gets elected. After murdering the one candidate who is too anti-foreigners for the groups taste.</p><p></p><p>So Tiger is assigned to “frame” the candidate they don’t want to win.</p><p>So Tiger sneaks into the house of the candidate Jacobine of the Dom Sea, knocks him out, smuggled him to the top of the volcano, then throws him in. “<em>I’ve framed him for being dead.</em>” Then, attempted to do a semi-proper burial ritual to keep him from coming back as a Hungry Ghost. </p><p></p><p>This plan was chosen over taking Jacobine for a “boat ride” because they figured he would be less likely to come back as a zombie if he was tossed into the volcano instead of the ocean.</p><p></p><p>So the group decides to let the rest of the election go off without any interference. Except Gareth giving Ingmar’s people the muffins to hand out. </p><p></p><p>On election day, A-Dom goes to vote. He walks into the shinny rock booth, and the curtain slides shut behind him.</p><p></p><p><strong>GM</strong>: <em>Who do you vote for? Be Honest.</em></p><p><strong>A-Dom’s Thoughts</strong>: <em>Ingam, Ignar, Ingagam? Screw it, A DOM!</em></p><p></p><p>The little light comes on to show that he has voted.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Crap, I just voted for a Dom. I voted for everyone...</em></p><p></p><p>So around 9pm a big booming voice announces: Ingmar has been elected as the new Feathered One. Coordination will be in one hour.</p><p></p><p>The group then starts to argue as to if they should try to talk to him before the coronation, or several days afterwards.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>You people have no idea how to fix an election!</em></p><p></p><p>A-Dom removes the lava rock from his cousins house, and collects some trees, so Gareth can make the house. Gareth builds the house in one night. A-Dom shows his mom the new house for his cousins.</p><p></p><p>The group finally decides to go a few days later to see the new Feathered One. But first they have a long argument about how hard they think it will be to ask for permission to use the door to heaven.</p><p></p><p>The group decides to give the ship’s (The Grumpy Craftsman) crew orders, that if they are not back in a month, they should sail back to Atlantis. </p><p></p><p>The entire group goes to arrange a meeting to speak with the feathered one. Gareth used multiple bureaucracy-red-tape-cutting-foo, to get them through all the layers of functionaries in a reasonable fast time, mostly by saying that they are merchants who need to talk to the Feathered One for various reasons.. Until they reached the "Advisor to the Feathered One."</p><p></p><p>They enter a small room, with a little old man, who is wearing long grey robes with the hood up.</p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>:<em> Yesss? What do you wish to talk with the feathered one about today?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>The Door to Heaven.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ceri</strong>: <em>Trying the truth with this one?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong> (to Ceri): <em>Yes we are.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>: <em>Ah, ha. </em>(Calm even voice) <em>Why are you trying to go to heaven today?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>We need to talk to the Unconquered Sun, we have some business with him.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>We’re Solars!</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>: <em>Ahh...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ceri</strong>: <em>I’m not.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>:<em> And why are you going to heaven today?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ceri</strong>: <em>They need a keeper.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>: <em>Well that makes perfect sense.</em></p><p></p><p>The group starts to become curious about how calm the advisor is about the current conversation. Tiger notices that the Advisor has lizard-like eyes, with nictating membranes and everything. </p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>: <em>We’ll I’ll need to know your names, locations of origin, and Castes.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Location of Exaltation?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>: <em>Yes, whatever, just wherever you consider yourself from.</em></p><p></p><p>Gareth of Atlantis, Twilight</p><p>Jade’s Luck of Atlantis, Zenith</p><p>Patient Tiger of Atlantis, Eclipse</p><p>Johan of Abalon, Night</p><p>Sesus Weijin Jahar of Atlantis, Dawn</p><p>Ceridwyn, (island to be named later) No Moon</p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>:<em> Now I expect you to behave yourselves when talking to the feathered one.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Of course.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>: <em>Any attempts at improper manipulation will be dealt with.</em> *sighs, and gets up* <em>Follow me.</em></p><p></p><p>The advisor takes them in to talk to the Feathered One. The Advisor dismisses all of the Feathered One’s Peons before starting the conversation.</p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong> (to the Feathered One): <em>You remember that door I was telling you about the other day? Someone wants to use it.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>Did you like the cake and cookies and the Brandy?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>FO</strong>: <em>Oh yes, very lovely.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>We’d like your permission to use the Door.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>FO</strong> (to the Advisor): <em>Is it ok if I give them permission to use the door?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>: <em>Yes</em>.</p><p></p><p><strong>FO</strong>: <em>Ok, you can use it.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ceri</strong>: <em>We appreciate it very much.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger</strong>: <em>Do you know what hut it’s in?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Advisor</strong>: <em>You should be able to see it when you go outside.</em></p><p></p><p>When the group walks out side they see a mile high beam of light come from one of the huts that is on the rise of the volcano.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>How’d we miss that?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger</strong>: <em>So did anyone else notice the Lizard Eyes?</em></p><p></p><p>The rest of the group did not notice, so they are mildly confused. The group walks up to the hut, and knocks. A little ancient old lady opens the door.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (to Gareth):<em> Did you make her too?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth </strong>(to the lady):<em> We need to use you closet.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>The Feathered one Said it’s Ok.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Old Lady</strong>: (confused) <em>The Outhouse is out back.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>The Feathered One said it’s ok to use the one inside.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Old Lady</strong>: <em>Is he sending someone to clean it up?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>We’re not going to defecate in it ma’am.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong>: <em>Has anyone else ever wanted to use the closet with your close in it?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Old Lady</strong>: <em>A long time ago.</em></p><p></p><p>Jahar gets all excited and starts to harangue her for information.</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong> (to Jade’s Luck): <em>You’re in charge now. GO!</em></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck uses a number of social charms to get the Old lady’s attention away from Jahar, then gives her some flowers.</p><p></p><p><strong>Old Lady</strong>: <em>I’ll have to go put these in water. </em>*She wanders off to the kitchen.*</p><p></p><p>Everyone else runs to find the closet, except Jahar who tries to follow the little old lady and ask her questions, until A-Dom physical drags Jahar through the closet with the rest of the group. The group walks thought the frame of the closet and ends up in a loooooooong corridor, standing in front of two twenty foot tall gold lions. One of them cracks open his eye, looks at them, then nudges the other lion out of his sleep. They both grumble.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Where’s the clouds?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Celestial Lion</strong>: <em>You’re not in heaven yet.

Mostly offering things, like candy to the Celestial Lions, trying to get them to worship the Unconquered Sun, and asking them silly questions.</p><p></p><p>A skinny ugly, human looking woman, comes walking down the hall. As she gets closer they can see the huge wart on her nose. She finds out she is to guide the group around. She starts to lead the group up the hallway.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong>: <em>Where are you guiding us?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Guide</strong> (very depressed voice): <em>Out of the tunnel. Don’t suppose you have any Gauss on you?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>What’s Gauss?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Guide</strong> (very depressed voice): <em>It’s like money.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>Oh it’s the imaginary money that the auditor was talking about.</em></p><p></p><p>The guide continues to try to lead them out of the tunnel.</p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger</strong>: <em>What are you?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Guide</strong> (very depressed voice): <em>I’m the god of Nose Warts.

Could we wish them on someone else?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>God of Nose Warts</strong> (happy voice): <em>Oh yes, please do.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong> (to Jahar): <em>Think it would make your wife look better?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong>: <em>We’re having enough trouble getting people to worship the Unconquered Sun. I don’t think it would be that easy to get them to worship nosewarts.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>:<em> Little kids. Get them to wish them on your sisters, and teachers, etc.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>God of Nose Warts</strong> (happy voice to Gareth): <em>I like you.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong>: <em>It would be way easier than the Unconquered Sun.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>(to the God of Nose Warts): <em>Do you give super powers?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>God of Nose Warts</strong> (Very Depressed Voice): <em>No.</em></p><p></p><p>The group starts walking again, and finally reaches the end of the tunnel. They finally see Yu-shan, the city of heaven. (The game is interrupted by angry calls for cake.) Some discussion was made about trying to find “our property” in heaven. However they quickly decided that the trip to the bureaucratic buildings related to such, would be prohibitively long.</p><p></p><p>Various members of the group also start praying for various people (Jahar’s wife, the Empress, many people in Atlantis, the person who beat Gareth into Exalting, etc) to get nose warts.</p><p></p><p>The group looks up into the sky, and see the Unconquered Sun in the sky. Except he was much blacker and pointier then they were expecting him to be. The group figures out roughly where he will be coming down along the west wall. So they go running to reach the spot where he will go past, before he reaches the spot. </p><p></p><p>The group then climbed up onto the wall around the edge of heaven, so they would be closer to him. As he came closer, the group noticed that he was encased in a giant spiky soulsteel covering. As he got even closer, the group jumped onto the soulsteel spikes to get as close to him as possible.</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong>: <em>God are you in there?</em></p><p></p><p>The group can see a face of light shinning dully, through the thick soulsteel.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>Are you ok?</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>U.S.</strong> (Extremely muted): <em><span style="font-size: 9px">No!</span></em></p><p></p><p>The entire group starts asking him different questions.</p><p></p><p><strong>U.S. </strong>(Extremely muted): <em><span style="font-size: 9px">One at a time.

[QUOTE="Ao the Overkitty, post: 2819425, member: 9758"] [b]Synopsis for 3/13/06 session - "We’re looking for a mission from god"[/b] [i]Synopsis for 3/13/06 session[/i] [size=6][b]"We’re looking for a mission from god"[/b][/size] [b][i]By AlwaysToast[/i][/b][i][/i] (God we sound funny on the recordings.) The group plots to sway the election. Unfortunately they didn’t know exactly who they were going to support. They have the following candidates to choose from: [b]Alva of the Fields[/b]- Old Female Farmer. Her platform is that if elected Feathered One, she will sacrifice criminals on a monthly basis (or more frequently if they have a surplus of criminals), instead of waiting for the volcano to become angry rage to provide the sacrifices. She also would like to make it harder for non-citizens to learn of the laws, so less locals would be sacrificed this way. This is an untried theory. Mild support, however considered a front runner among the radical thinkers. [b]Ingemar of the Zar Sea[/b]- Old Male Lifetime Politician (former sheriff and tax collector). He is running a status-quo campaign for keeping everything the same as the last Feathered One. He is promoting the idea that change is bad. Conservative front runner. [b] Jacobine of the Dom Sea[/b]- Old Male old Sailor. Running on a platform of “Sacrifice pirates and foreigners, not the locals.” If elected will provide tax breaks to inns and bars that... encourage, foreigners to overindulge in alcohol, who can then be arrested for various crimes. Is willing to consider law changes that would make it harder for foreigners to get access to the Law books. Since Jacobine is reasonably elderly (older then all other candidates), it is hoped he may not care much if he has to go into the volcano. Moderate Front runner. [b]Lucia of the Old Hill[/b] - Young Female Miller. She is running on the radical platform that Abalon should make arrangements with other nations to buy their criminals, to be thrown into the volcano when all the “hardened and serious” criminals have already been tossed in. She has even hinted at the even more radical idea of buying slaves from Pirate crews in times of “great need” to feed to the volcano. Her theory is that this would eliminate the need to throw people who have committed petty crimes in all together. Which would increase trade for the entire archipelago. Of course there are some serious logistical issues with this plan (ie storing, and shipping criminals/slaves at a minimal cost, but making sure they arrive at the right time to feed the volcano (which is unpredictable)). Radical Longshot. [b]Nils of the Zar Sea[/b] - Middle aged Man. Nils is telling anyone just about anything that he thinks they want to hear. He appears very agreeable, but doesn’t actually appear to have a plan or legislative agenda. Typical politician, he is clearly making a lot of promises he can't keep (because they are contradictory). Considered a dark horse. Might win if too many votes get split between the others. ************************ On the second night of the election process, A-Dom (who is broken out of jail for the night) and Gareth go to visit Johan’s parents. His parents welcome them in and then closes the door, the draps, the blinds, etc. [b]Mom[/b]: [i]So how have you been, what have you been doing?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Well I was a fisher, I was a guard, I’m Exalted now.[/i] [b]Both Parents[/b]: [i]What?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]I now have Super Powers brought on by the Unconquored Sun. You know, like the Dragon Bloods, but less evil.[/i] [b]Both Parents[/b]: [i]So you’re Anathema?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]No.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]This is from your side of the family![/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]No, no, it’s not related. I can do nifty things, and It’s not evil. I’m not Anathema.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Yea, your not going to move back into your room.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]I know that, I have this whole deal with saving the world. My last year was very productive.[/i] [b]Mom[/b]: [i]Do you have children?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]:[i] YES![/i] Gareth breaks out in hysterical laughter. [b]Mom[/b] (happy): [i]Where are they?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Well I left them up north.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Why is your friend laughing like that.[/i] Gareth continues to laugh. [b]A-Dom[/b]:[i] He’s Anathema. Yea, so they are up north with their mother, as I’m not much for baby raising. (after a pause) So I pushed the Feathered One into the Volcano.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Oh so that was you? I wondered how he got the hat.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Yea, I knew where it was.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Don’t do that again.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (to Gareth): [i]I need a house. Would you do me a favor? I’ll get the lumber.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b] (finally stops laughing): [i]Yea.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]I’ll get my cousin’s house rebuilt. Cause I’m responsible.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Good. Wait? He builds houses?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]He builds ships, and houses, and temples...[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Well ships is ok but houses...[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Well he’s a little (teeters his hand back and forth). They’re not proper people. Anyway, we need to get in good with the new management.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Ok, that makes sense.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Yea, we need to get permission from them. We need someone who’s ok with Anathema. So we are interested in someone who is for foreigners. Not some 'come to the volcano and we’ll help ya.'[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Nobody on Abalone is really for foreigners.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Someone who’s less likely to throw us into the volcano before saying Hi.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]That’s like half the candidates.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]So no one would be best?[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]They are trying to get a job, where they will eventually be thrown into a volcano. Not the best way to attract thoughtful and calm people.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]So how does the whole voting things go?[/i] [b]Mom[/b]: [i]Well you walk into a booth, think of who you want to vote for, then your done. Well a little light comes on to tell you your done too.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]How does it know you’re a citizen? What if a foreigner goes in there?[/i] [b]Mom[/b]: [i]They don’t come out.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Right, I’m not voting. How do you get a tally?[/i] [b]Mom[/b]: [i]A loud voice booms the announcement of the winner all across the Archapelago.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (to Gareth): [i]You’re a schmuck! Do you know that?[/i] His parents explain to him that he was born in Abalon, and nobody took the time to do the paperwork to remove his citizen ship. Since he is suppose to be thrown into a volcano when caught. [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]I’m working on getting the whole...[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]You’re suppose to be thrown into a volcano?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Yea, we’re going to fix that. Because we can. We’re nifty, with super powers, and very productive, and I’m married.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]What’s your wife’s name again?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Zo. Anyway, we need to go beat down the Dragon Bloods because they are naughty. So we’re working to beat down the dragon bloods and make them act like the first age.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]When?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Way back when. Watch![/i] *anima flair* [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Yea, we need thicker draps.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]This is going very well, I was thinking there would be more yelling and throwing of things. Alright, I’ve got to go back to jail...[/i] [b]Mom[/b]: [i]Umm...[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]I insulted the Feathered One...[/i] [b]Mom[/b]: [i]If you’re in jail why were you not thrown in on that previous charge.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]I can look like other people.[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]Ah, so that’s how you got a wife. [/i] His mom made him a sandwich to take back to jail. [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Better than the food you get in jail.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]She makes better tools. Yea, so we’re just going off to Heaven and back. Starting to make some kind of trading post. Try to not spread it around that I’m back...[/i] [b]Dad[/b]: [i]We’ll keep it under our hats.[/i] Gareth and A-Dom leave. On the way out... [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Zoe?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Zo, yea. I’m sure I’ll find a woman named Zo somewhere?[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Or make a girl change her name?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]For at least a day or two.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Or find a fresh one?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]No... no... bad things happen apparently. That’s not a proper burial.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Want me to check on your children?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Wait... what if our past selves did have kids?[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Well we probably have decedents somewhere. [/i] (Many jokes about stealing babies, making zombie babies, etc, ensues) Gareth started making Ingmar promotional materials, using A-Dom’s mothers shop. Like daggers, torches, pitch forks, buttons, etc, that all said Vote for Ingmar on them. Jahar, Jades’s Luck and Gareth went to talk to Ingmar on the third night at an Inn. Before going in, Jahar realized that being a Dynast, he might be someone that Ingmar doesn’t want to talk to. So he nominates Jade’s Luck to do all the talking. So Jade’s Luck used her veil to do makeup to make herself look older (like 25) and more beautiful (appearance 5), and took the time to dress appropriately. Ingmar greets Jade’s luck politely (because of many social charms in effect). Jade’s Luck explains that she is representing a new trading company, and they would like to support him his bid for Feathered One. He’s quite happy that they support his attempt to keep everything the same. The very best thing, as foreigners that they can do to help him get elected is to not let anyone know they support him. [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]Could you use anything to help promote yourself?[/i] *She hands him a dagger.* [b]Ingmar[/b] *looks at it, reads it, looks puzzled*. (to his lacky): [i]People can hand out things during an election?[/i] [b]Lacky[/b]: [i]I’ve heard of it.[/i] [b]Ingmar[/b]: [i]It’s very odd. Why would you give people daggers?[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]But look at the fine craftsmanship![/i] [b]Ingmar[/b]: [i]Yes, well it’s very nice. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just very odd.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]Well the broaches are more... umm... less stabby.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Killing two birds with one stone! You show off my merchandise and you have...[/i] *motions at the slogan* [b]Ingmar[/b]: [i]You can keep the daggers and such, I can use some of the broaches. I can have some of my people wear them.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Will you speaking at other gatherings?[/i] [b]Ingmar[/b]:[i] BAH, Why bother?[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]What about having other people speak for you.[/i] [b]Ingmar[/b]: [i]Why would I do that?[/i] Jade’s Luck tries to explain why talking to people is beneficial during an election campaign. Ingmar just plans to go on doing things the same old way. [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]Could we support you by going around supporting all the other candidates?[/i] [b]Ingmar[/b]: [i]I really don’t want you to do that. I’m going to win this election fair and square. Because the people want ME![/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]People like you?[/i] [b]Ingmar[/b]: [i]They know who I am![/i] Ingmar goes off the talk to the locals who are around. The group is now thrown into some debate as to whether they are backing the right person. So the group starts discussing supporting Nils, then blackmailing or threatening him after he has won. The best way they can think of get Nils to win, is to “support” all the other candidates to split up the votes. This involves discussing “poisoning” the candidates. [b]Ceri[/b]: [i]You’re talking metaphorical poisoning right?[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]:[i] Of course I’m talking about political poisoning. I don’t deal in Poisons.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b](shrieky voice): [i]WHAT?!?[/i] So Tiger, Jahar, and Jade’s Luck goes to talk to Nils to see how he is as a candidate. In the bad part of town. Gareth stays on the boat (secretly baking “Vote for Ingmar” muffins). [b]Nils[/b]: [i]No more taxes! We’ll only sacrifice rich people! Free fish on Friday! Unless people want to sell it. You tell me what you want. I’m for the people! Puppies for every child.[/i] Jahar walks in, listens for a minute, shoulders slump. Decides to listen to him for a few minutes, even though he clearly isn’t what Jahar wants in a candidate. [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]Well he’ll go into the Volcano fast.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]He’ll mess up the island.[/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]Once we go through the portal, I don’t care about the island.[/i] Jade’s Luck decides to try and find out what his “real” agenda is. But decides to not use Terrifying Apparition of Glory to find out. [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Why are you doing this?[/i] [b]Nils[/b]: [i]I want to run the country. I can be a better leader then the rest of these people.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]You know you’ll end up in the volcano.[/i] [b]Nils[/b]: [i]No, I’ll die of old age. Everyone will love me.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b] (to the group): [i]I think we know the truth now. He wants to run the country.[/i] So the group starts (on the 3rd day of a 5 day election process) discussing who they want to make win... again. So eventually, they decide to just let the election go on as normal, and deal with whoever gets elected. After murdering the one candidate who is too anti-foreigners for the groups taste. So Tiger is assigned to “frame” the candidate they don’t want to win. So Tiger sneaks into the house of the candidate Jacobine of the Dom Sea, knocks him out, smuggled him to the top of the volcano, then throws him in. “[i]I’ve framed him for being dead.[/i]” Then, attempted to do a semi-proper burial ritual to keep him from coming back as a Hungry Ghost. This plan was chosen over taking Jacobine for a “boat ride” because they figured he would be less likely to come back as a zombie if he was tossed into the volcano instead of the ocean. So the group decides to let the rest of the election go off without any interference. Except Gareth giving Ingmar’s people the muffins to hand out. On election day, A-Dom goes to vote. He walks into the shinny rock booth, and the curtain slides shut behind him. [b]GM[/b]: [i]Who do you vote for? Be Honest.[/i] [b]A-Dom’s Thoughts[/b]: [i]Ingam, Ignar, Ingagam? Screw it, A DOM![/i] The little light comes on to show that he has voted. [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Crap, I just voted for a Dom. I voted for everyone...[/i] So around 9pm a big booming voice announces: Ingmar has been elected as the new Feathered One. Coordination will be in one hour. The group then starts to argue as to if they should try to talk to him before the coronation, or several days afterwards. [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]You people have no idea how to fix an election![/i] A-Dom removes the lava rock from his cousins house, and collects some trees, so Gareth can make the house. Gareth builds the house in one night. A-Dom shows his mom the new house for his cousins. The group finally decides to go a few days later to see the new Feathered One. But first they have a long argument about how hard they think it will be to ask for permission to use the door to heaven. The group decides to give the ship’s (The Grumpy Craftsman) crew orders, that if they are not back in a month, they should sail back to Atlantis. The entire group goes to arrange a meeting to speak with the feathered one. Gareth used multiple bureaucracy-red-tape-cutting-foo, to get them through all the layers of functionaries in a reasonable fast time, mostly by saying that they are merchants who need to talk to the Feathered One for various reasons.. Until they reached the "Advisor to the Feathered One." They enter a small room, with a little old man, who is wearing long grey robes with the hood up. [b]Advisor[/b]:[i] Yesss? What do you wish to talk with the feathered one about today?[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]The Door to Heaven.[/i] [b]Ceri[/b]: [i]Trying the truth with this one?[/i] [b]Gareth[/b] (to Ceri): [i]Yes we are.[/i] [b]Advisor[/b]: [i]Ah, ha. [/i](Calm even voice) [i]Why are you trying to go to heaven today?[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]We need to talk to the Unconquered Sun, we have some business with him.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]We’re Solars![/i] [b]Advisor[/b]: [i]Ahh...[/i] [b]Ceri[/b]: [i]I’m not.[/i] [b]Advisor[/b]:[i] And why are you going to heaven today?[/i] [b]Ceri[/b]: [i]They need a keeper.[/i] [b]Advisor[/b]: [i]Well that makes perfect sense.[/i] The group starts to become curious about how calm the advisor is about the current conversation. Tiger notices that the Advisor has lizard-like eyes, with nictating membranes and everything. [b]Advisor[/b]: [i]We’ll I’ll need to know your names, locations of origin, and Castes.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Location of Exaltation?[/i] [b]Advisor[/b]: [i]Yes, whatever, just wherever you consider yourself from.[/i] Gareth of Atlantis, Twilight Jade’s Luck of Atlantis, Zenith Patient Tiger of Atlantis, Eclipse Johan of Abalon, Night Sesus Weijin Jahar of Atlantis, Dawn Ceridwyn, (island to be named later) No Moon [b]Advisor[/b]:[i] Now I expect you to behave yourselves when talking to the feathered one.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Of course.[/i] [b]Advisor[/b]: [i]Any attempts at improper manipulation will be dealt with.[/i] *sighs, and gets up* [i]Follow me.[/i] The advisor takes them in to talk to the Feathered One. The Advisor dismisses all of the Feathered One’s Peons before starting the conversation. [b]Advisor[/b] (to the Feathered One): [i]You remember that door I was telling you about the other day? Someone wants to use it.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Did you like the cake and cookies and the Brandy?[/i] [b]FO[/b]: [i]Oh yes, very lovely.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]We’d like your permission to use the Door.[/i] [b]FO[/b] (to the Advisor): [i]Is it ok if I give them permission to use the door?[/i] [b]Advisor[/b]: [i]Yes[/i]. [b]FO[/b]: [i]Ok, you can use it.[/i] [b]Ceri[/b]: [i]We appreciate it very much.[/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]Do you know what hut it’s in?[/i] [b]Advisor[/b]: [i]You should be able to see it when you go outside.[/i] When the group walks out side they see a mile high beam of light come from one of the huts that is on the rise of the volcano. [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]How’d we miss that?[/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]So did anyone else notice the Lizard Eyes?[/i] The rest of the group did not notice, so they are mildly confused. The group walks up to the hut, and knocks. A little ancient old lady opens the door. [b]A-Dom[/b] (to Gareth):[i] Did you make her too?[/i] [b]Gareth [/b](to the lady):[i] We need to use you closet.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]The Feathered one Said it’s Ok.[/i] [b]Old Lady[/b]: (confused) [i]The Outhouse is out back.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]The Feathered One said it’s ok to use the one inside.[/i] [b]Old Lady[/b]: [i]Is he sending someone to clean it up?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]We’re not going to defecate in it ma’am.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Has anyone else ever wanted to use the closet with your close in it?[/i] [b]Old Lady[/b]: [i]A long time ago.[/i] Jahar gets all excited and starts to harangue her for information. [b]Gareth[/b] (to Jade’s Luck): [i]You’re in charge now. GO![/i] Jade’s Luck uses a number of social charms to get the Old lady’s attention away from Jahar, then gives her some flowers. [b]Old Lady[/b]: [i]I’ll have to go put these in water. [/i]*She wanders off to the kitchen.* Everyone else runs to find the closet, except Jahar who tries to follow the little old lady and ask her questions, until A-Dom physical drags Jahar through the closet with the rest of the group. The group walks thought the frame of the closet and ends up in a loooooooong corridor, standing in front of two twenty foot tall gold lions. One of them cracks open his eye, looks at them, then nudges the other lion out of his sleep. They both grumble. [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Where’s the clouds?[/i] [b]Celestial Lion[/b]: [i]You’re not in heaven yet. This is a hallway.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]Nice Hallway.[/i] [b]Celestial Lion[/b]: [i]And what is your business in heaven?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]; [i]What is [b]our[/b] buiness in heaven?[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]We wish to speak with the Unconquored Sun.[/i] [b]Celestial Lion 1[/b]: [i]And who are you?[/i] [b]Celestial Lion 2[/b]: [i]They are Solars.[/i] [b]Celestial Lion 1[/b]: [i]I haven’t seen any in a while.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]We want to figure out everything.[/i] [b]Celestial Lion[/b]: [i]That’s nice.[/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]We want a mission statement.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]We’re on a mission from god.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]No. We’re looking for a mission from god.[/i] [b]Celestial Lion[/b]: [i]Have you ever been to Heaven before?[/i] [b]Group[/b]: [i]No[/i] [b]Celestial Lion[/b]: [i]We’re going to have to get you a guide.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Yes, guides good.[/i] The group waits around for twenty minutes. Mostly offering things, like candy to the Celestial Lions, trying to get them to worship the Unconquered Sun, and asking them silly questions. A skinny ugly, human looking woman, comes walking down the hall. As she gets closer they can see the huge wart on her nose. She finds out she is to guide the group around. She starts to lead the group up the hallway. [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Where are you guiding us?[/i] [b]Guide[/b] (very depressed voice): [i]Out of the tunnel. Don’t suppose you have any Gauss on you?[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]What’s Gauss?[/i] [b]Guide[/b] (very depressed voice): [i]It’s like money.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]Oh it’s the imaginary money that the auditor was talking about.[/i] The guide continues to try to lead them out of the tunnel. [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]What are you?[/i] [b]Guide[/b] (very depressed voice): [i]I’m the god of Nose Warts. Nobody prays to me.[/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]Not even to make sure they don’t get them?[/i] [b]God of Nose Warts[/b] (very depressed voice): [i]That’s a different God.[/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]Oh... Could we wish them on someone else?[/i] [b]God of Nose Warts[/b] (happy voice): [i]Oh yes, please do.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b] (to Jahar): [i]Think it would make your wife look better?[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]We’re having enough trouble getting people to worship the Unconquered Sun. I don’t think it would be that easy to get them to worship nosewarts.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]:[i] Little kids. Get them to wish them on your sisters, and teachers, etc.[/i] [b]God of Nose Warts[/b] (happy voice to Gareth): [i]I like you.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]It would be way easier than the Unconquered Sun.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b](to the God of Nose Warts): [i]Do you give super powers?[/i] [b]God of Nose Warts[/b] (Very Depressed Voice): [i]No.[/i] The group starts walking again, and finally reaches the end of the tunnel. They finally see Yu-shan, the city of heaven. (The game is interrupted by angry calls for cake.) Some discussion was made about trying to find “our property” in heaven. However they quickly decided that the trip to the bureaucratic buildings related to such, would be prohibitively long. Various members of the group also start praying for various people (Jahar’s wife, the Empress, many people in Atlantis, the person who beat Gareth into Exalting, etc) to get nose warts. The group looks up into the sky, and see the Unconquered Sun in the sky. Except he was much blacker and pointier then they were expecting him to be. The group figures out roughly where he will be coming down along the west wall. So they go running to reach the spot where he will go past, before he reaches the spot. The group then climbed up onto the wall around the edge of heaven, so they would be closer to him. As he came closer, the group noticed that he was encased in a giant spiky soulsteel covering. As he got even closer, the group jumped onto the soulsteel spikes to get as close to him as possible. [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]God are you in there?[/i] The group can see a face of light shinning dully, through the thick soulsteel. [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Are you ok?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]No![/size][/i] The entire group starts asking him different questions. [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]One at a time. Me damn it![/size][/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]How do we get you out?[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Get MORE PRAYERS![/size][/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]I heard clones...[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]More prayers and you can get yourself out?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b]: Mumbled affirmative response [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]How many more?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b]: Exasperated response [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Our big problem has been why should people worship you? [/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]oh dear god...[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Us is a given, but we’re having problems convincing other people.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]We’re having problems convincing others.[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Do stuff for them! Give me the credit![/size][/i] [b]Ceri[/b]: [i]In other words: Be helpful.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Lie our asses off?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b]: (Mumbled Positive response.) [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]How do you feel about Zombies?[/i] The Unconquered Sun just stares at A-Dom: (Extreamly Muted) [i][size=1]Not my concern.[/size][/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]How do you feel about summoning Demons?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Not a good idea, generally.[/size][/i] Spontaneous applause by the group, except for Jahar. [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]He used a qualifier![/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Can I have an artifact?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b]: (Mumbled response having to do with A-Dom doing things for himself.) [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]You have any more people in the city we can talk to?[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]No![/size][/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Where are they all?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): *sigh* [i][size=1]A BOX![/size][/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Where?[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]I thought the box was open?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Only for a little while.[/size][/i] [b]Jahar[/b] (Depressed): [i]Oh[/i]. [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]Any ideas on where it is and how we can open it?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted and depressed): [i][size=1]No...[/size][/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Are we the only ones that got out?[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted and depressed): [i][size=1]No, there are 25.[/size][/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]That’s good.[/i] [b]U.S. [/b]: Uniteligible mumbling. [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]They’re not screw ups like us are they?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted and depressed): [i][size=1]For my sake, I hope not. I can’t see a me’damned thing through this![/size][/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]That’s why you’re not saying or talking to anyone...[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): *Mumbled explanation then..* [i][size=1]Get me more prayers![/size][/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]We should just bash it.[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Been tried before.[/size][/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Who tried it?[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Lightbringer, three lifetimes ago.[/size][/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]Well if he tried it, we definitely don’t want to do it.[/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]Can you tell when your prison is weakened?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Yes.[/size][/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i] So basically we need to get enough prayers to you that you can break yourself out.[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Excellent. Then miracles all around.[/size][/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Anything you’re opposed to in your religion?[/i] The Unconquered Sun just stares at Gareth... dumbfounded. [b]Ceri[/b]: [i]Right now they are giving out candy.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]I just wanted to make sure so we don’t screw up anything, by you know, promising the world.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]The other gods don’t want to get you out?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted):[i] [size=1]No. Why would they? There is a long list of thing. Should be fairly obvious! Murder of innocents: BAD[/size][/i] *Everyone looks at A-Dom*[i][size=1], etc. Stuff like candy, I don’t care! Get me worshipers.[/size][/i] [b]A-Dom [/b](regarding killing children):[i] Sorry![/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]You’re allows some trial and error.[/size][/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Wooohooo![/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Not that much![/size][/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]:[i] Am I going to turn into a Death Knight?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Better not, I’ll kill you.[/size][/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]We’ll HELP![/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Can you sense where the closest one of us is to us?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted, but high pitched): [i][size=1]What? That’s Lightbringer isn’t it?[/size][/i] [b]Everyone[/b]: [i]Yes![/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Can you sense where the closest solar to our current location is?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Just you guys. I can’t even tell which one of you is which. Did I give you the right shards?[/size][/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]What?[/i] [b]Tiger[/b]: [i]No, not really.[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]I can’t see a damn thing through this.[/size][/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]No we didn’t.[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]You should probably switch them around a bit then.[/size][/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]How do we do that?[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]Damn, I hate to say this. Go talk to Opec.[/size][/i] [b]Chorus of entire group[/b]: [i]Noooo... no... noooo...[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]You figured it out before.[/size][/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Can we just switch or do we have to trade with someone?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted):[i][size=1] No you have to trade with someone voluntarily.[/size][/i] *some more mumbling* [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]I like mine.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]It’s useful for him to be somebody else.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Stop bad mouthing me to god.[/i] [b]Ceri[/b]: [i]I think he already knows.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]:[i] I’ve even been teaching my Acolytes about you.[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]More with the praying. Less with the books.[/size][/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (to Jade’s Luck):[i] You pray too.[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]I’ve been praying every day.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Ok, I’ll pray too. I didn’t know I was supposed to be.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]If we’re still standing on you when you go below the horizon what happens to us?[/i] [b]U.S.[/b] (Extremely muted): [i][size=1]It would be unwell for you.[/size][/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]Where do we find books about you?[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]I think you’re screwed there.[/size][/i] [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]Sorry. My bad.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]You’ll have to make some now.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]: [i]Anything else you want to suggest?[/i] [b]U.S. [/b](Extremely muted): [i][size=1]More worshipers is good. [/size]STOP SLACKING![/i] And with that the group hopped back onto the wall just before the Unconquered Sun went below the horizon and disappeared. [b]Gareth[/b]: [i]We have a QUEST! To get him out of the soulsteel. [/i] The group decided to just go back to Abalon through the hallway, since they couldn’t figure out how to get a job in Heaven. They then spent a month in Abalon, getting things ready for Jahar’s business, so they would actually make a profit. Jahar also went to a number of weddings to get “Tears of Joy from a resident of Abalon” by handing handkerchiefs to people then wringing them out into a vial. Jahar also payed a tailor to make him a large(ish) flag of Abalon. A-Dom spent some time handing out Altars and toys and dolls (that Gareth made) to his family members. Jade’s Luck spent time handing out candy. Near the end of the month, Ceri received a note from the Assistant to the Feathered One, requesting a meeting. The Assistant showed her he was a Lunar and told her he was upset with the Solars “running amuck” handing out candy and starting religious cults in his territory. So he asked her to deal with them. Ceri then explained this to the Solars. [b]Jade’s Luck[/b]: [i]So until we’re powerful enough to push him out and make this our territory, tone it down. Got it. [/i] Now that the group has a goal in life the most common things said at the start or end of a conversation (even among the group) is: [b][i]Worship the Unconquered Sun![/i][/b] [/QUOTE]
