Everyone not going to Uk Luk! There is the Dingy! Everybody else to Uk Luk!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>So, A-Dom's going into the Dingy?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>NO, A-Dom's going to Uk Luk.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>Because you want him to kill his family?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>No, because that's where A-Dom wanted to go. He requested to go there.</em> </p><p></p><p>Jahar decides to go back to Crull-Tay. The Grumpy Craftsman sails back to Uk Luk Muck Muck Chuck. </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>No one goes into A-Dom's room!</em> </p><p></p><p>Gareth then put one of the ex-pirates on guard in A-Dom's room (with A-Dom mummified by chains and ropes hanging in his hammock) with strict orders to run and get Gareth when A-Dom awoke. </p><p></p><p>Quite a few hours later, A-Dom woke up, heard a door slam, realized where he was and decided to increase his strength and bust all the chains and ropes off. Gareth arrived as A-Dom was getting the last of the ropes off himself. </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>We're going to Uk Luk. You're staying in here. Nobody is going to bother your.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (confused): <em>Oh.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>This is how you are helping the group.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom </strong>(like a little kid): <em>YAY!</em> </p><p></p><p>Gareth made sure that Fatty knew to give A-Dom water. The group then sailed, and trained on their way to Uk Luk. A-Dom, stuck inside his very dull and boring room, got bored. So he started swinging in his hammock. So once he broke his only form of entertainment, he got even more bored. </p><p></p><p>[Failed Temperance check] </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>Well... It's not a Manse...</em></p><p></p><p>A-Dom kicks the door off its hinges (without even checking to see if he was locked in) and started wandering around the ship. The crew ran to tell Gareth that A-Dom was out. Gareth seemed unconcerned. The crew informed him they were going to avoid A-Dom. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom went to visit Fatty. Which wasn't the smartest thing when fasting. A-Dom had a lovely subject of conversation... </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (To Fatty): <em>You're my favorite Pirate. If I were to kill all the Pirates. You'd be the last to die. </em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom decides to be "anywhere where there is not a circle-mate, with charms if I need to." Since he could sense everyone's location, this was an interesting "game" for him to play for the three day trip. A-Dom spends some time with the Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice, and the design spirit, as long as the rest of the circle are not around. Jade's Luck does shadow puppet theater for the mice, and Gareth gave them the little church that he whittled while waiting for Jahar to let them out of the manse. </p><p></p><p>The group arrives back at Uk Luk Muck Muck Chuck, three days later. Which happened to be the last day of A-Dom's penance. </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>What pisses me off the most is that it wasn't my god's idea. It was the Zenith's idea thousands of years ago. </em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom is very happy to be back on the island (where everyone was happy to see him), and see his wife. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (to wife): <em>You! Hut!</em> </p><p></p><p>The group then discusses that A-Dom should really stop breeding until he's gotten his Wyld mutations cleared up. Of course this doesn't stop A-Dom from sleeping around, but almost entirely with women he'd already knocked up. </p><p></p><p>The next day Gareth wanders into town and finds A-Dom lying in a gutter, his natural brown color showing... with a suspicious absence of pants. Gareth wakes him up. </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>Take off your eye patch!</em> </p><p></p><p>Gareth takes him to a hut, then pokes and prods at A-Dom's eye socket for an hour. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>What the hell are doing? Captain Insane-O</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth</strong> (when finished): <em>That should grow back in a day or two. Your Father in law want his toes back too? I'm interested to find out if the toes will regrow.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (confused): <em>I guess. What's your angle?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>I have a nifty new ability, I want to try it out.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>Hey, Uk-Pa! Come here, he's going to poke you for a while... in a good way. </em> </p><p></p><p>So they bring in Uk-Fuju and do the same thing. Gareth goes all glowy, but Uk-Fuju is kind of forced to not panic. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom get into an argument about what they are going to be doing, and A-Dom's aversion to being magically compelled. Highlights: </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Are you going to try to recruit me to kill more pirates? Especially when I'm magically compelled to agree with you?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>You're not right now. What if you had to wait twenty years to do something, then find out "Hey, he's on the island!" Aren't you going to think "Now's the right time?" You lived without your eye for a couple of months?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>Yea?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth </strong>(point at his eye socket): <em>Twenty years!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>Well, I don't procrastinate. The guy who killed me. I pulled his heart out. Right there. Don't ever do that again, or else I'll take you down with me, while I'm poking both my eyes out, and half my spleen, and a lung. Don't ever try to make me do that again!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>GM:</strong> <em> Did A-Dom just order Gareth to never ask him to make undead? </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>I was just playing to your strong points, since you were having a crappy time.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>You are a nitwit! You wanted me to slaughter my friends and smile while I did it!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>Was Bloodsky a friend of yours?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>Potentially. He was probably a friend of some of my friends. </em>(Pause, then in a firm tone of voice)<em> Bad Gareth!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>You realize, I still plan on killing them.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>That's fine. Just don't magically compel me to help you and I'll probably help you.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>I won't magically compel you to help you. </em> </p><p></p><p>The argument then devolves into an argument which pirates in the world are A-Dom's friends and which are not, and how best to not kill them. Somehow, this devolves into A-Dom and Gareth deciding to make a church together. Nice wooden church at the edge of Uk-Fuju's village. This took them a week. During that time A-Dom's Eye and Uk-Fuju's toes grew back. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck spent her time learning to cook muffins from Fatty. </p><p></p><p>Tiger stole all the ingredient and made a batch of cookies for the circle. The cookies actually came out ok. Gareth reviewed the cookie, found it to be inferior and ate it anyway. A-Dom gave away his cookie right away. Both working on the assumption that if the Assassin in the party gives you a cookie, even if you know he's magically compelled to not make it non-poisonous, you shouldn't eat it out of habit. </p><p></p><p>Then Tiger ran around the island while training his new charms. He also did a fast geomantic survey, and found out that Jahar was completely correct. </p><p></p><p>Back on Crull-Tay Jahar manages to get known among the people (while trying his best to be humble). He also got to read all the laws for Crull-tay and did a lot of complaining about Jade's Luck. </p><p></p><p><strong>Liz:</strong> <em>I'm really sick of people complaining about me, for things I did in my past life.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Dan: </strong> <em>They are your fault.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Liz: </strong> <em>No they are the GM's FAULT!</em> </p><p></p><p>The group then goes into a long argument on several different subjects, for about a half hour. </p><p></p><p>As Jahar spends time in the Manse, he realizes that the library in the Manse is organized in an odd way. Each book has a slot or cubby that is specifically fitted for the book. The books were in a specific order, but it was unclear why the books were in that order. Jahar then went to ask the mirror what the order of the books mean? </p><p></p><p><strong>Mirror:</strong> <em>Is it important to you to know the order?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe: </strong> <em>I figured as much...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>Well you've never answered the mirror. Give it a try.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>YES! It is important to me.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Mirror:</strong> <em>Why?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>My bad. You were right. </em> </p><p></p><p>Jahar then went to discuss the library with the Tree... and walked past the talking book and didn't think to ask it. After that part of his daily routine involved reading books from the library. He also spends a lot of time talking about the idea of "ethical piracy." </p><p></p><p><strong>Liz: </strong> <em>How arrogantly is he being humble?</em> </p><p></p><p>At some point Gabe realizes he can use the death ray of the manse to kill people at a whim and it doesn't count as "violence." </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>Yes! Good god man, you are The Law! If A-Dom only had this manse... he's be carving his name in things... like boats... and people. He's just blow things up! </em>*crazed laughter* </p><p></p><p>Tiger took his mutant-demon-spawned-dino egg down to the center of the island to make it hatch faster. Then he wandered around following it for a few days (protecting it from other dinosaurs) until it was full grown. At some point, Jade's Luck wanders past Tiger mumbling about "<em>Jahar and his <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />ing rock fetish</em>." </p><p></p><p>The group then sailed back to Crull-Tay, and got there three days later. The Grumpy Craftsman then docked off shore. Everyone (Except Gareth) went to shore. Garth noticed The Artisans Cargo was no longer at the dock. </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>Ok, we're here. Go have fun.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Woohoo! I'm gonna go wench me a whore!</em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom dives overboard, ignoring the dingy that the other characters are taking. </p><p></p><p><strong>GM: </strong> <em>You know, the whores aren't going to get pregnant...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>Why are people always assuming I'm repenting? I don't care! I mean, it's on the list, but no time frame... </em> </p><p></p><p>So A-Dom goes off to have A-Dom fun. </p><p></p><p>Tiger went off to find Jahar, and give him his cookie. Jahar looked at the cookie for a split second, then handed it to the first small child he could find (regardless of if the child wanted it). </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Thank you. Little Jimmy thanks you too.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger:</strong> <em>Thanks for not eating it.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>Why? Was I suppose to?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger</strong> (depressed): <em>Well I just made cookies for everyone... so they could give them away...</em> </p><p></p><p>Jahar looks totally confused, because he forgot what Tiger's penances were to be. Jahar then tries to get Tiger to bring Gareth to shore. Tiger explains that Gareth still has "pirate issues." Jahar then used the ability to look through the beam of light from his manse to look at Gareth on the ship. Gareth flipped him off. Tiger said something about A-Dom being off having A-Dom fun. Jahar using his magical knowledge of A-Dom's location, then turned the beam of light to look at A-Dom, through the window of the whore house. Giving the lady whom A-Dom was with quite a fright. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom </strong>(to the beam of light):<em> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> OFF!</em> </p><p></p><p>Jahar then went back to talking to Tiger so the light went off. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck goes to the Mayor to find out how many people are on the island. With a combination of the Census of residents, and talking to the Pirate Captains for a headcount. As she was trying to figure out how many muffins she had to make. </p><p></p><p>Jahar then went to talk to Jade's Luck, while she is talking to the pirate captains. A-Dom shows up to talk to Diamond Eye Tor. He found out that the Pirates did in fact disguise themselves as natives of Yuk Glor, since even if the Manse kills the angry native who kills you, you're still dead. So much easier to get them to attack someone else. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck and Jahar discussed setting up a school for "Ethical Piracy" and a trading post. Somehow this was worked into a conversation about A-Dom's history. </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe: </strong> <em>When I said I was looking for some good candidates, and you said I found 3... what did you think I was asking?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>GM:</strong> <em>For arranging passage...</em> (Gabe looks puzzled) <em>To somewhere you're already going...</em> (Gabe looks puzzled) <em> For a "Friend" of yours.</em> (Gabe looks puzzled) </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan </strong>(to Gabe): <em>Do you want me to tell you?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>GM:</strong> <em>It was spelled out in your email. That I actually responded to...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe:</strong> <em>I haven't seen that email in a long time...</em> </p><p></p><p>So Ryan and Gabe go off with the GM to discuss this. It turns into a Jahar and A-Dom discussion. </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>You explained to me that your going to collect dying people for the Bodhisattva...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe:</strong> <em>OH! Yes! That's what I was doing... Oh, yea, hey, good stuff.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>So, how far into his pocket are you?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>I'm not in his pocket. I'm simply promoting the natural order of life and death. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Why?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>We'll they business is unfinished</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>What? The people your taking or the people who you are taking them to?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>The people who have things left undone. They'll be made happier this way.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>By the Death Lord?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>Well you saw how that works.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Yea, but... Why? Is he going to give you something nifty? What are you getting?</em> (Looking at Jahar carefully) <em> Although, you don't have to answer that question if it will make your brain explode...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>I'm not getting anything. It just seemed perfectly sensible to me. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>You've been mind <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />ed!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>I think I would know if I'd been mind <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />ed.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (sounding very sure of himself): <em>Mind <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />ed. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan</strong> (looking at the GM): <em>So... Decoy am I?</em> (Yelling) <em>I thought I was special...</em> </p><p></p><p>Everyone goes back to the group. </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>Wow... A-Dom's world view has just changed... a lot.</em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom stops wenching and goes to "sit in a corner." The corner of an alley way.

Your father in law likes you...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Yea but he's easy.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>The Unconquered Sun likes you. He let you rip that guys heart out.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>He really just sneezed in my direction and when "oh A-Dom, guess that's good enough."</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe:</strong> <em>You know the end of my month of Humility, is the end of my Manipulation training.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan: </strong> <em>That's retarded. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>GM:</strong> <em>Clearly he's been trying to manipulate people into thinking he's humble.

Natural order of things...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger:</strong> <em>What the hell is going on?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom </strong>(still depressed): <em>I'll tell you later. If I feel like it. I probably could talk about it. But it's just kind of weird.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em> I'll be making muffins if you want to talk about it.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Yea... well I guess I'll go finish off the whore house.</em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom to support his whoring, steals money from the whore house across the street, to pay for the ones he is going to.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>: <em>I have my own little moral code. </em></p><p></p><p>Somehow the group starts talking about homing-seagulls so they can communicate between themselves and the trading ships. </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan</strong> (to Gabe): <em>You're dead to me.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe</strong> (not getting it): <em>Why? Because I'm perverting piracy?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>That's ok, Gabe understand even if Jahar does not.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe:</strong> <em>NO, I really don't understand.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong> <em>Daddy loves you MORE!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe:</strong> <em>Oh. You're still going on about that?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Alex </strong>(gets a completely horrified look on his face): <em> I think I'm missing large parts of this conversation.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gabe</strong> (to Alex): <em>You've been missing this private conversation for over a year.</em> </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck, working on the theory that everything has a god or a spirit, she decides to try to pray to the "female god of creation." [She got 6 successes] The main part of her prayer was "How can we help?" After she was done praying, an Earth Elemental popped up out of the ground in front of her. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>Hi</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Elemental: </strong> <em>Hello</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em> I'm not sure...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Elemental: </strong> <em>Oh, I'm sorry then.</em> (Elemental starts to leave) </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>Wait! I have a question. </em>(Elemental turns back around) <em>Is there any one god for like Creation embodied? Like you're earth embodied. Is there one for Creation?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Elemental:</strong> <em>Yup.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>How can I talk to that one?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Elemental:</strong> <em>Why you want to know?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>Well a friend of mine had a dream that she was in trouble. And I want to help. As apparently it's our job to help.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Elemental</strong> (thinks about it for a second): <em>Yup. That's your job.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>Was there anything we could do right away? Any specifics on helping?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Elemental:</strong> <em>Nope. </em>(Wanders away) </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>Hey that was actually informative!</em> </p><p></p><p>Group goes into a tangent about how badly they want to find a Sidereal and beat information out of it, in the most violent manners possible. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom asks Jahar if he's going to be reading books for a few more weeks. Jahar tells him that he really does want to do that. So two weeks later (Jade's Luck managed to hand out all her muffins during that time, and people actually ate them. Unlike Tiger's cookies.), A-Dom has a meeting with the rest of the group on the Grumpy Craftsman, while Jahar is busy reading. Gareth has been very bored during all the waiting. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (rambling): <em>So, like... way back when...</em> (game 6 or so) <em>when we were on Skullstone. I thought I was daddy's favorite, cause I got the book and a magic stone. You know...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>That's not necessarily..</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>Shut up. So Jahar got a card. So I figured that Jahar just got a really retarded present. But you know, he's Jahar. So, he's gathering dead people to talk to the death lord for Soulsteel.

Something spiffy?</em> (Mocking Jahar's voice):<em> Oh nothing.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>So he's encouraging people to go to the death realm?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger:</strong> <em>What does this have to do with the Card?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em> I don't know.

Yea, so apparently I was the decoy! So you would all go "Ooooooo Naughty!"</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>Yea, and it worked too. </em> </p><p></p><p>The group argues about what they know about Soulsteel. As while they don't know how it's made, they do know what it looks like and that it's called Soulsteel. So it's not a terrible leap in logic to think it might be made out of souls. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>He is so no longer my mentor now.</em> </p><p></p><p>Tiger runs off to steal Jahar's "Card" then puts it back. He used charms that Jahar didn't have defense against. Tiger finds it to be a Tarot card with a picture of the Bodhisattva on it, and realizes that it probably needs to be attuned for it to be used. He looked at it with All Encompassing Sorcerer Sight, to try and figure out how powerful it was. He realized it was low powered. </p><p></p><p>Tiger then told the group what he found. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>I suppose we could ask him about it... like with words and stuff.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>Like Jahar's going to answer.</em> </p><p></p><p>During the last week (after he no longer has to be Humble), Jahar goes out amongst the people to promote three ideals: Knowledge, Ethical Piracy, and the Unconquered Sun. In that order. He hears a lot of people comment "You seem different..." As Jahar has gone back to his arrogant self. He then magically reinforced the Ethical Piracy. </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan </strong>(to Gabe): <em>You're just A-Dom with an education. You realize this?</em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Jahar get into an argument about why Gareth won't come on the island. A-Dom slowly explains to Jahar that Gareth managed to indirectly kill some people, and the Mayor, being a Dragon-Blood is likely going to want to enforce the mortal laws of the island and arrest Gareth, even if the island doesn't know. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>You know because I own the island, and you just explained it to me, the Island now knows?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (totally freaked out): <em>What?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>You didn't realize that?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em> I've never met anyone with a direct mental link to an island! I thought you were one of my accomplices! </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Wait, you have two eyes! What happened to you?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em> Unconquered Sun!</em> </p><p></p><p>Jahar continues to constantly pester A-dom about how he got his eye back. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>Let's just NOT tell Gareth.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Tell him what?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em> Exactly!</em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom tries to wander off but Jahar follows him asking him more questions about is eye and trying to poke at it. A-Dom just screams back "Unconquered sun" as his constant response. </p><p></p><p>So the group gets Jahar to come out to the Grumpy Craftsman. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Gareth! The island knows!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em> Gareth can you build me a church on the island so I can lead these people away from those ways that you hate so much?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em> Can it be a floating church?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Yea, sure. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck</strong> (to Gareth): <em>Why don't you have him explain that little sweet-heart picture in his pocket for a church?</em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom starts laughing like a madman. </p><p></p><p>Jahar's head snaps around. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong> (to A-Dom): <em>You know about my Card?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (to Jahar): <em>I know you have it. I don't know what it does. God Damn it I'm jealous. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck: </strong> <em>We can make sure he tells the truth. We're all very interested.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>I'm here to be questions because your jealous?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>No, because they want to know things. Well really I'm just working on my own petty revenge thing right now.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>We have a few concerned questions... </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>Shoot.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>What does this thing you received from the Bodhisattva DO?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Lets me communicate, with him.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth: </strong> <em>So it's like what the card to the undead pirate card worked?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Basically.</em> </p><p></p><p>The group then discussed if the portal was a two way portal devise. Jahar basically explained that things could not be sent between them because the Silver Prince did not have a card for him. They could only communicate. Of course Jahar explained this in such a way that the group was extremely confused. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck:</strong> <em>Maybe we should discuss you collecting souls for the Death Lord.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>One quest at a time. And I will have you know, I haven't successfully collected a single soul yet!</em> </p><p></p><p>A-Dom starts laughing. </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>It's the YET part that kind of... worries us. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em> I really wasn't thinking of it in terms of souls anyway. Just people. Now back to your question... We can't go there unless the person the card depicts wants you to go there. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck: </strong> <em>So he can't come to us through your sweet-heart picture?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>That's a very odd phrase.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em> Onto Jade's Luck's question about sending people on.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Oh, your referring to the souls that have unfinished business?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>I don't know what that means, but he keeps repeating it. I think this stuff was burned into his brain.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong> (to A-Dom): <em>You know, it's curious that you're involved in this since you were more involved in this whole process in general.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck: </strong> <em>Well, A-Dom wasn't playing with souls really. Just ugly disgusting remains. While thoroughly unpleasant... not as bad.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>That's completely false. Only the lowest levels of necromancy only have to deal with the body. That and the body has a lower soul in it. That's how you get Hungry Dead. The higher levels of Necromancy focus heavily the higher soul. That's why I haven't played with it. That much...</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck </strong>(interrupting): <em>That much?!?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>To be fair, I haven't played with it at all. But I was speaking.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>(at Jahar): <strong><em>My shtick! <u>MINE</u></em></strong><em>!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em> I don't have time to learn Necromancy!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>Keep it that way!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck: </strong> <em>Well you see we have concerns about souls that should be moving on.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Oh they are still part of the cycle. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em> Like most other Exalted, we don't know what their motives are, what they do, why they do them.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>I would never bring souls there. I was just finding old people who doesn't have their goals accomplished, and take them to someplace where they can accomplish their goals, so they can move on and reincarnate. So they don't become ghosts who can't move on when they die and might become hungry ghosts.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Oh crap. I just understood what he said.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck </strong>(very sympathetic to A-Dom): <em>Poor thing. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>In essence it is continuing the cycle of reincarnation. Because once they accomplish their goals they will be able to fade away and reincarnate again.</em> </p><p></p><p>Gareth was very annoyed that his lie detecting spell was not triggered by Jahar's comments. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> <em>I don't know if that's how Creation worked. But damn it sounded pretty. </em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>You're the one who dabbles in Necromancy!</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>Yea but whenever I make something, it gets broken by someone. (Pointing at Jade's Luck) Usually her! There is a whole big cycle of stuff right there. Doesn't have nothing to do with the Upper soul as far as I know.</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong> (to Jade's Luck): <em>What does happen when the upper soul is stuck somewhere, like a dinosaur body... do you know?</em> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom: </strong> <em>What the <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> are you talking about?</em> </p><p></p><p>The group is completely confused by brining undead dinosaurs into the conversation. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar: </strong> <em>How does animating the body and trapping the Po, affect the upper soul?

The one we have dealt with wants to have our realm and his realm co-exist peacefully. If we can have a peaceful existence with him, then we can focus on dealing with the ones that are destroying other places. Angry undead armies are way more dangerous to creation then the Silver Prince. He has even said the other ones are evil... </p><p></p><p><strong>Jade's Luck</strong> (mocking voice): <em>Oh yes!

[QUOTE="Ao the Overkitty, post: 3177437, member: 9758"] [i]Synopsis of 11/06/06 session[/i] [size=6][b]So... Decoy am I? I thought I was special...[/b][/size][b][/b] Subtitle: [b]It's :):):):)ing story time :):):):):):):), tell us![/b] [i]By AlwaysToast[/i] The Grumpy Craftsman II pulls along side the rowboat which had just rescued A-Dom, and everyone gets onboard. [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]OK! Everyone not going to Uk Luk! There is the Dingy! Everybody else to Uk Luk![/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]So, A-Dom's going into the Dingy?[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]NO, A-Dom's going to Uk Luk.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Because you want him to kill his family?[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]No, because that's where A-Dom wanted to go. He requested to go there.[/i] Jahar decides to go back to Crull-Tay. The Grumpy Craftsman sails back to Uk Luk Muck Muck Chuck. [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]No one goes into A-Dom's room![/i] Gareth then put one of the ex-pirates on guard in A-Dom's room (with A-Dom mummified by chains and ropes hanging in his hammock) with strict orders to run and get Gareth when A-Dom awoke. Quite a few hours later, A-Dom woke up, heard a door slam, realized where he was and decided to increase his strength and bust all the chains and ropes off. Gareth arrived as A-Dom was getting the last of the ropes off himself. [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]We're going to Uk Luk. You're staying in here. Nobody is going to bother your.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (confused): [i]Oh.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]This is how you are helping the group.[/i] [b]A-Dom [/b](like a little kid): [i]YAY![/i] Gareth made sure that Fatty knew to give A-Dom water. The group then sailed, and trained on their way to Uk Luk. A-Dom, stuck inside his very dull and boring room, got bored. So he started swinging in his hammock. So once he broke his only form of entertainment, he got even more bored. [Failed Temperance check] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Well... It's not a Manse...[/i] A-Dom kicks the door off its hinges (without even checking to see if he was locked in) and started wandering around the ship. The crew ran to tell Gareth that A-Dom was out. Gareth seemed unconcerned. The crew informed him they were going to avoid A-Dom. A-Dom went to visit Fatty. Which wasn't the smartest thing when fasting. A-Dom had a lovely subject of conversation... [b]A-Dom[/b] (To Fatty): [i]You're my favorite Pirate. If I were to kill all the Pirates. You'd be the last to die. [/i] A-Dom decides to be "anywhere where there is not a circle-mate, with charms if I need to." Since he could sense everyone's location, this was an interesting "game" for him to play for the three day trip. A-Dom spends some time with the Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice, and the design spirit, as long as the rest of the circle are not around. Jade's Luck does shadow puppet theater for the mice, and Gareth gave them the little church that he whittled while waiting for Jahar to let them out of the manse. The group arrives back at Uk Luk Muck Muck Chuck, three days later. Which happened to be the last day of A-Dom's penance. [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]What pisses me off the most is that it wasn't my god's idea. It was the Zenith's idea thousands of years ago. [/i] A-Dom is very happy to be back on the island (where everyone was happy to see him), and see his wife. [b]A-Dom[/b] (to wife): [i]You! Hut![/i] The group then discusses that A-Dom should really stop breeding until he's gotten his Wyld mutations cleared up. Of course this doesn't stop A-Dom from sleeping around, but almost entirely with women he'd already knocked up. The next day Gareth wanders into town and finds A-Dom lying in a gutter, his natural brown color showing... with a suspicious absence of pants. Gareth wakes him up. [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]Take off your eye patch![/i] Gareth takes him to a hut, then pokes and prods at A-Dom's eye socket for an hour. [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]What the hell are doing? Captain Insane-O[/i] [b]Gareth[/b] (when finished): [i]That should grow back in a day or two. Your Father in law want his toes back too? I'm interested to find out if the toes will regrow.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (confused): [i]I guess. What's your angle?[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]I have a nifty new ability, I want to try it out.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Hey, Uk-Pa! Come here, he's going to poke you for a while... in a good way. [/i] So they bring in Uk-Fuju and do the same thing. Gareth goes all glowy, but Uk-Fuju is kind of forced to not panic. A-Dom get into an argument about what they are going to be doing, and A-Dom's aversion to being magically compelled. Highlights: [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Are you going to try to recruit me to kill more pirates? Especially when I'm magically compelled to agree with you?[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]You're not right now. What if you had to wait twenty years to do something, then find out "Hey, he's on the island!" Aren't you going to think "Now's the right time?" You lived without your eye for a couple of months?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Yea?[/i] [b]Gareth [/b](point at his eye socket): [i]Twenty years![/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Well, I don't procrastinate. The guy who killed me. I pulled his heart out. Right there. Don't ever do that again, or else I'll take you down with me, while I'm poking both my eyes out, and half my spleen, and a lung. Don't ever try to make me do that again![/i] [b]GM:[/b] [i] Did A-Dom just order Gareth to never ask him to make undead? [/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]I was just playing to your strong points, since you were having a crappy time.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]You are a nitwit! You wanted me to slaughter my friends and smile while I did it![/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Was Bloodsky a friend of yours?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Potentially. He was probably a friend of some of my friends. [/i](Pause, then in a firm tone of voice)[i] Bad Gareth![/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]You realize, I still plan on killing them.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]That's fine. Just don't magically compel me to help you and I'll probably help you.[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]I won't magically compel you to help you. [/i] The argument then devolves into an argument which pirates in the world are A-Dom's friends and which are not, and how best to not kill them. Somehow, this devolves into A-Dom and Gareth deciding to make a church together. Nice wooden church at the edge of Uk-Fuju's village. This took them a week. During that time A-Dom's Eye and Uk-Fuju's toes grew back. Jade's Luck spent her time learning to cook muffins from Fatty. Tiger stole all the ingredient and made a batch of cookies for the circle. The cookies actually came out ok. Gareth reviewed the cookie, found it to be inferior and ate it anyway. A-Dom gave away his cookie right away. Both working on the assumption that if the Assassin in the party gives you a cookie, even if you know he's magically compelled to not make it non-poisonous, you shouldn't eat it out of habit. Then Tiger ran around the island while training his new charms. He also did a fast geomantic survey, and found out that Jahar was completely correct. Back on Crull-Tay Jahar manages to get known among the people (while trying his best to be humble). He also got to read all the laws for Crull-tay and did a lot of complaining about Jade's Luck. [b]Liz:[/b] [i]I'm really sick of people complaining about me, for things I did in my past life.[/i] [b]Dan: [/b] [i]They are your fault.[/i] [b]Liz: [/b] [i]No they are the GM's FAULT![/i] The group then goes into a long argument on several different subjects, for about a half hour. As Jahar spends time in the Manse, he realizes that the library in the Manse is organized in an odd way. Each book has a slot or cubby that is specifically fitted for the book. The books were in a specific order, but it was unclear why the books were in that order. Jahar then went to ask the mirror what the order of the books mean? [b]Mirror:[/b] [i]Is it important to you to know the order?[/i] [b]Gabe: [/b] [i]I figured as much...[/i] [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]Well you've never answered the mirror. Give it a try.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]YES! It is important to me.[/i] [b]Mirror:[/b] [i]Why?[/i] [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]My bad. You were right. [/i] Jahar then went to discuss the library with the Tree... and walked past the talking book and didn't think to ask it. After that part of his daily routine involved reading books from the library. He also spends a lot of time talking about the idea of "ethical piracy." [b]Liz: [/b] [i]How arrogantly is he being humble?[/i] At some point Gabe realizes he can use the death ray of the manse to kill people at a whim and it doesn't count as "violence." [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]Yes! Good god man, you are The Law! If A-Dom only had this manse... he's be carving his name in things... like boats... and people. He's just blow things up! [/i]*crazed laughter* Tiger took his mutant-demon-spawned-dino egg down to the center of the island to make it hatch faster. Then he wandered around following it for a few days (protecting it from other dinosaurs) until it was full grown. At some point, Jade's Luck wanders past Tiger mumbling about "[i]Jahar and his :):):):)ing rock fetish[/i]." The group then sailed back to Crull-Tay, and got there three days later. The Grumpy Craftsman then docked off shore. Everyone (Except Gareth) went to shore. Garth noticed The Artisans Cargo was no longer at the dock. [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Ok, we're here. Go have fun.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Woohoo! I'm gonna go wench me a whore![/i] A-Dom dives overboard, ignoring the dingy that the other characters are taking. [b]GM: [/b] [i]You know, the whores aren't going to get pregnant...[/i] [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]Why are people always assuming I'm repenting? I don't care! I mean, it's on the list, but no time frame... [/i] So A-Dom goes off to have A-Dom fun. Tiger went off to find Jahar, and give him his cookie. Jahar looked at the cookie for a split second, then handed it to the first small child he could find (regardless of if the child wanted it). [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Thank you. Little Jimmy thanks you too.[/i] [b]Tiger:[/b] [i]Thanks for not eating it.[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]Why? Was I suppose to?[/i] [b]Tiger[/b] (depressed): [i]Well I just made cookies for everyone... so they could give them away...[/i] Jahar looks totally confused, because he forgot what Tiger's penances were to be. Jahar then tries to get Tiger to bring Gareth to shore. Tiger explains that Gareth still has "pirate issues." Jahar then used the ability to look through the beam of light from his manse to look at Gareth on the ship. Gareth flipped him off. Tiger said something about A-Dom being off having A-Dom fun. Jahar using his magical knowledge of A-Dom's location, then turned the beam of light to look at A-Dom, through the window of the whore house. Giving the lady whom A-Dom was with quite a fright. [b]A-Dom [/b](to the beam of light):[i] :):):):) OFF![/i] Jahar then went back to talking to Tiger so the light went off. Jade's Luck goes to the Mayor to find out how many people are on the island. With a combination of the Census of residents, and talking to the Pirate Captains for a headcount. As she was trying to figure out how many muffins she had to make. Jahar then went to talk to Jade's Luck, while she is talking to the pirate captains. A-Dom shows up to talk to Diamond Eye Tor. He found out that the Pirates did in fact disguise themselves as natives of Yuk Glor, since even if the Manse kills the angry native who kills you, you're still dead. So much easier to get them to attack someone else. Jade's Luck and Jahar discussed setting up a school for "Ethical Piracy" and a trading post. Somehow this was worked into a conversation about A-Dom's history. [b]Gabe: [/b] [i]When I said I was looking for some good candidates, and you said I found 3... what did you think I was asking?[/i] [b]GM:[/b] [i]For arranging passage...[/i] (Gabe looks puzzled) [i]To somewhere you're already going...[/i] (Gabe looks puzzled) [i] For a "Friend" of yours.[/i] (Gabe looks puzzled) [b]Ryan [/b](to Gabe): [i]Do you want me to tell you?[/i] [b]GM:[/b] [i]It was spelled out in your email. That I actually responded to...[/i] [b]Gabe:[/b] [i]I haven't seen that email in a long time...[/i] So Ryan and Gabe go off with the GM to discuss this. It turns into a Jahar and A-Dom discussion. [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]You explained to me that your going to collect dying people for the Bodhisattva...[/i] [b]Gabe:[/b] [i]OH! Yes! That's what I was doing... Oh, yea, hey, good stuff.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]So, how far into his pocket are you?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]I'm not in his pocket. I'm simply promoting the natural order of life and death. [/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Why?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]We'll they business is unfinished[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]What? The people your taking or the people who you are taking them to?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]The people who have things left undone. They'll be made happier this way.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]By the Death Lord?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]Well you saw how that works.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Yea, but... Why? Is he going to give you something nifty? What are you getting?[/i] (Looking at Jahar carefully) [i] Although, you don't have to answer that question if it will make your brain explode...[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]I'm not getting anything. It just seemed perfectly sensible to me. [/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]You've been mind :):):):)ed![/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]I think I would know if I'd been mind :):):):)ed.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (sounding very sure of himself): [i]Mind :):):):)ed. [/i] [b]Ryan[/b] (looking at the GM): [i]So... Decoy am I?[/i] (Yelling) [i]I thought I was special...[/i] Everyone goes back to the group. [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]Wow... A-Dom's world view has just changed... a lot.[/i] A-Dom stops wenching and goes to "sit in a corner." The corner of an alley way. Eventually Jade's Luck wanders by him. [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]Are you ok?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (really depressed): [i]Yea... I guess... I'm not as well liked as I thought.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]Well your wife likes you. Your father in law likes you...[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Yea but he's easy.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]The Unconquered Sun likes you. He let you rip that guys heart out.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]He really just sneezed in my direction and when "oh A-Dom, guess that's good enough."[/i] [b]Gabe:[/b] [i]You know the end of my month of Humility, is the end of my Manipulation training.[/i] [b]Ryan: [/b] [i]That's retarded. [/i] [b]GM:[/b] [i]Clearly he's been trying to manipulate people into thinking he's humble. Not actually being Humble. Since Jahar really doesn't know what Humble is.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Well if you want to talk about it later... or have a muffin. Let me know.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]I don't know. I might want to talk about it later. I'm not sure anymore.[/i] [b]Ryan: [/b] [i]It's like someone took an Intimacy and went: Ahhahhhahahhahahah HA! [b] No. That's a lie. [/b][/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]You kind of realize what's going on, but not how bad it is.[/i] [b]Tiger [/b](wanders by): [i]Wife cheating on you?[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]No, that would be fine. Natural order of things...[/i] [b]Tiger:[/b] [i]What the hell is going on?[/i] [b]A-Dom [/b](still depressed): [i]I'll tell you later. If I feel like it. I probably could talk about it. But it's just kind of weird.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i] I'll be making muffins if you want to talk about it.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Yea... well I guess I'll go finish off the whore house.[/i] A-Dom to support his whoring, steals money from the whore house across the street, to pay for the ones he is going to. [b]A-Dom[/b]: [i]I have my own little moral code. [/i] Somehow the group starts talking about homing-seagulls so they can communicate between themselves and the trading ships. [b]Ryan[/b] (to Gabe): [i]You're dead to me.[/i] [b]Gabe[/b] (not getting it): [i]Why? Because I'm perverting piracy?[/i] [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]That's ok, Gabe understand even if Jahar does not.[/i] [b]Gabe:[/b] [i]NO, I really don't understand.[/i] [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]Daddy loves you MORE![/i] [b]Gabe:[/b] [i]Oh. You're still going on about that?[/i] [b]Alex [/b](gets a completely horrified look on his face): [i] I think I'm missing large parts of this conversation.[/i] [b]Gabe[/b] (to Alex): [i]You've been missing this private conversation for over a year.[/i] Jade's Luck, working on the theory that everything has a god or a spirit, she decides to try to pray to the "female god of creation." [She got 6 successes] The main part of her prayer was "How can we help?" After she was done praying, an Earth Elemental popped up out of the ground in front of her. [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Hi[/i] [b]Elemental: [/b] [i]Hello[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i] I'm not sure...[/i] [b]Elemental: [/b] [i]Oh, I'm sorry then.[/i] (Elemental starts to leave) [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Wait! I have a question. [/i](Elemental turns back around) [i]Is there any one god for like Creation embodied? Like you're earth embodied. Is there one for Creation?[/i] [b]Elemental:[/b] [i]Yup.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]How can I talk to that one?[/i] [b]Elemental:[/b] [i]Why you want to know?[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Well a friend of mine had a dream that she was in trouble. And I want to help. As apparently it's our job to help.[/i] [b]Elemental[/b] (thinks about it for a second): [i]Yup. That's your job.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Was there anything we could do right away? Any specifics on helping?[/i] [b]Elemental:[/b] [i]Nope. [/i](Wanders away) [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Hey that was actually informative![/i] Group goes into a tangent about how badly they want to find a Sidereal and beat information out of it, in the most violent manners possible. A-Dom asks Jahar if he's going to be reading books for a few more weeks. Jahar tells him that he really does want to do that. So two weeks later (Jade's Luck managed to hand out all her muffins during that time, and people actually ate them. Unlike Tiger's cookies.), A-Dom has a meeting with the rest of the group on the Grumpy Craftsman, while Jahar is busy reading. Gareth has been very bored during all the waiting. [b]A-Dom[/b] (rambling): [i]So, like... way back when...[/i] (game 6 or so) [i]when we were on Skullstone. I thought I was daddy's favorite, cause I got the book and a magic stone. You know...[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]That's not necessarily..[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Shut up. So Jahar got a card. So I figured that Jahar just got a really retarded present. But you know, he's Jahar. So, he's gathering dead people to talk to the death lord for Soulsteel. Although I don't know that for a fact.[/i] [b]Tiger:[/b] [i]Wait? He's :):):):)ing dead people? Where is he putting them?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] I don't know![/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]How do you know this?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Because he told me! He's taking dying people to there, so they can die on the island and get :):):):)ed. But the real thing is: He's doing it for no good reason. You ask him [/i](rambling fast) [i]What you getting out of it? Artifact? Something spiffy?[/i] (Mocking Jahar's voice):[i] Oh nothing.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]So he's encouraging people to go to the death realm?[/i] [b]Tiger:[/b] [i]What does this have to do with the Card?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] I don't know. I assumed it was a card that did lame Jahar things. [/i] [b]Tiger: [/b] [i]Where does he keep the card?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]On his person. Although if you steal it you'll probably get mind :):):):)ed into collecting bones or something. Yea, so apparently I was the decoy! So you would all go "Ooooooo Naughty!"[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]Yea, and it worked too. [/i] The group argues about what they know about Soulsteel. As while they don't know how it's made, they do know what it looks like and that it's called Soulsteel. So it's not a terrible leap in logic to think it might be made out of souls. [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]He is so no longer my mentor now.[/i] Tiger runs off to steal Jahar's "Card" then puts it back. He used charms that Jahar didn't have defense against. Tiger finds it to be a Tarot card with a picture of the Bodhisattva on it, and realizes that it probably needs to be attuned for it to be used. He looked at it with All Encompassing Sorcerer Sight, to try and figure out how powerful it was. He realized it was low powered. Tiger then told the group what he found. [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]I suppose we could ask him about it... like with words and stuff.[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]Like Jahar's going to answer.[/i] During the last week (after he no longer has to be Humble), Jahar goes out amongst the people to promote three ideals: Knowledge, Ethical Piracy, and the Unconquered Sun. In that order. He hears a lot of people comment "You seem different..." As Jahar has gone back to his arrogant self. He then magically reinforced the Ethical Piracy. [b]Ryan [/b](to Gabe): [i]You're just A-Dom with an education. You realize this?[/i] A-Dom and Jahar get into an argument about why Gareth won't come on the island. A-Dom slowly explains to Jahar that Gareth managed to indirectly kill some people, and the Mayor, being a Dragon-Blood is likely going to want to enforce the mortal laws of the island and arrest Gareth, even if the island doesn't know. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]You know because I own the island, and you just explained it to me, the Island now knows?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (totally freaked out): [i]What?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]You didn't realize that?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] I've never met anyone with a direct mental link to an island! I thought you were one of my accomplices! [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Wait, you have two eyes! What happened to you?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] Unconquered Sun![/i] Jahar continues to constantly pester A-dom about how he got his eye back. [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Let's just NOT tell Gareth.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Tell him what?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] Exactly![/i] A-Dom tries to wander off but Jahar follows him asking him more questions about is eye and trying to poke at it. A-Dom just screams back "Unconquered sun" as his constant response. So the group gets Jahar to come out to the Grumpy Craftsman. [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Gareth! The island knows![/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] Gareth can you build me a church on the island so I can lead these people away from those ways that you hate so much?[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i] Can it be a floating church?[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Yea, sure. [/i] [b]Jade's Luck[/b] (to Gareth): [i]Why don't you have him explain that little sweet-heart picture in his pocket for a church?[/i] A-Dom starts laughing like a madman. Jahar's head snaps around. [b]Jahar[/b] (to A-Dom): [i]You know about my Card?[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (to Jahar): [i]I know you have it. I don't know what it does. God Damn it I'm jealous. [/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]We can make sure he tells the truth. We're all very interested.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]I'm here to be questions because your jealous?[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]No, because they want to know things. Well really I'm just working on my own petty revenge thing right now.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]We have a few concerned questions... [/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]Shoot.[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]What does this thing you received from the Bodhisattva DO?[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Lets me communicate, with him.[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]So it's like what the card to the undead pirate card worked?[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Basically.[/i] The group then discussed if the portal was a two way portal devise. Jahar basically explained that things could not be sent between them because the Silver Prince did not have a card for him. They could only communicate. Of course Jahar explained this in such a way that the group was extremely confused. [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Maybe we should discuss you collecting souls for the Death Lord.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]One quest at a time. And I will have you know, I haven't successfully collected a single soul yet![/i] A-Dom starts laughing. [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]It's the YET part that kind of... worries us. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] I really wasn't thinking of it in terms of souls anyway. Just people. Now back to your question... We can't go there unless the person the card depicts wants you to go there. [/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]So he can't come to us through your sweet-heart picture?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]That's a very odd phrase.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i] Onto Jade's Luck's question about sending people on.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Oh, your referring to the souls that have unfinished business?[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]I don't know what that means, but he keeps repeating it. I think this stuff was burned into his brain.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b] (to A-Dom): [i]You know, it's curious that you're involved in this since you were more involved in this whole process in general.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]Well, A-Dom wasn't playing with souls really. Just ugly disgusting remains. While thoroughly unpleasant... not as bad.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]That's completely false. Only the lowest levels of necromancy only have to deal with the body. That and the body has a lower soul in it. That's how you get Hungry Dead. The higher levels of Necromancy focus heavily the higher soul. That's why I haven't played with it. That much...[/i] [b]Jade's Luck [/b](interrupting): [i]That much?!?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]To be fair, I haven't played with it at all. But I was speaking.[/i] [b]A-Dom[/b](at Jahar): [b][i]My shtick! [u]MINE[/u][/i][/b][i]![/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] I don't have time to learn Necromancy![/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Keep it that way![/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]Well you see we have concerns about souls that should be moving on.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Oh they are still part of the cycle. [/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i] Like most other Exalted, we don't know what their motives are, what they do, why they do them.[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]I would never bring souls there. I was just finding old people who doesn't have their goals accomplished, and take them to someplace where they can accomplish their goals, so they can move on and reincarnate. So they don't become ghosts who can't move on when they die and might become hungry ghosts.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Oh crap. I just understood what he said.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck [/b](very sympathetic to A-Dom): [i]Poor thing. [/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]In essence it is continuing the cycle of reincarnation. Because once they accomplish their goals they will be able to fade away and reincarnate again.[/i] Gareth was very annoyed that his lie detecting spell was not triggered by Jahar's comments. [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]I don't know if that's how Creation worked. But damn it sounded pretty. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]You're the one who dabbles in Necromancy![/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Yea but whenever I make something, it gets broken by someone. (Pointing at Jade's Luck) Usually her! There is a whole big cycle of stuff right there. Doesn't have nothing to do with the Upper soul as far as I know.[/i] [b]Jahar[/b] (to Jade's Luck): [i]What does happen when the upper soul is stuck somewhere, like a dinosaur body... do you know?[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]What the :):):):) are you talking about?[/i] The group is completely confused by brining undead dinosaurs into the conversation. [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]How does animating the body and trapping the Po, affect the upper soul? Can the Hun move on when the Po is trapped?[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]:):):):)ed if I know. But it doesn't matter.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]I'm pretty sure I could animate a former body of ours. If I were to find Wretch, god help us, I could animate him. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Yes but would that pull the Hun back?[/i] [b]GM: [/b] [i]You know there is someone you could ask?[/i] [b]Liz: [/b] [i]Roeby?[/i] [b]Rest of group:[/b] [i]Nooooooo...[/i] [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]Daddy[/i] [b]Gabe:[/b] [i]I will never call him Daddy. I care a lot less about him then you do.[/i] [b]Ryan[/b]: [i]That's the problem. You do care more about him then I do. The sad thing is you don't know you care.[/i] [b]Alex:[/b] [i]You're a sleeper agent![/i] [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]Exactly. One day he's going to say Bob to you, and then your outer shell is going to fall off and you'll come swinging out as a death knight.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Look, your doing tasks for a whole other deity![/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]But they can work together. And I disagree about the whole Deity thing. [/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]The guy that's running the Silver Prince.[/i] The group argues more about stuff (parts of which Gabe forgot). Including dead gods and such. Which they mostly didn't remember or didn't understand. [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Ok, yes when we first went there, I made a mistake. I made a pact with this guy. We don't need to further...[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]I made a pact too...[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Me too...[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]I didn't![/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]You didn't touch Captain Mittens? Anyway I'm just saying we're getting :):):):)ed left right and center. [/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]You took gifts from the Death Lord.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Gift, singular, I took the magic rock. The book is just a loaner. I'm giving it back. And he is totally [b]not [/b] teaching me anything else.[/i] Jahar: There are untold numbers of shadowlands creeping across the lands, and there are Death Lords who are far more evil and malicious then the one we have found. The one we have dealt with wants to have our realm and his realm co-exist peacefully. If we can have a peaceful existence with him, then we can focus on dealing with the ones that are destroying other places. Angry undead armies are way more dangerous to creation then the Silver Prince. He has even said the other ones are evil... [b]Jade's Luck[/b] (mocking voice): [i]Oh yes! Please go kill those ones over there. They are evil. Over there, don't pay any attention to me... You should just go over there.[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]Have you any proof of such deceptions?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]I'd like to point something out right now. Remember Ailee?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]I was in a purse. So NO.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]I pointed out that I like Ailee, but she (Jade's Luck) was all like "he has to go." [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]But Ailee was a Wyld Creature![/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] The Wyld and the shadowlands are on the same damn caliber. [/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]NO they are not. The Underworld is natural, just the connection to Creation that's the problems.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]The Underworld is NOT natural![/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]How do you know the Underworld is a Natural thing?[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]I've been reading. It's where souls go before they reincarnate. [/i] Tiger comes out of his trance. [b]Tiger: [/b] [i]A-Dom! It's all your fault![/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]What?[/i] [b]Tiger:[/b] [i]The whole underworld. [/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] How? Wait, that proves it's not a natural part of existence if I :):):):)ing made it.[/i] (To Tiger) [i]It's :):):):)ing story time :):):):):):):), tell us![/i] Tiger starts telling his story. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] Now that just contradicts what I read that you[/i] (pointing at Jade's Luck)[i] wrote.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck[/b] (angry screeching voice): [i]I didn't :):):):)ing write anything! I'm 19 years old! Oh MY GOD! Waaaaaaaaaaaah![/i] Tiger finishes his story that nobody heard. [b]A-Dom[/b] (to Tiger): [i]Could you repeat that? I was deafened by a woman screeching.[/i] [b]Tiger: [/b] [i]Well you kill a primordial, and I think you made the underworld. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Oh so you were the one who made the void?[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]I'll try not to do that again. My bad. My point being, I killed it.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]That's the problem, the killing part of it. We weren't suppose to destroy anything. It ruined the world.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Thank you! Yes I agree! Flashy thing it! He just stated the exact opposite of what he's been arguing. We killed things and made the underworld. Underworld bad. Baaaaaaad. Underworld Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad...[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]No the Void not the Underworld. [/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad....[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Ok we can be sure they are not part of the natural order of Creation as ordained by the Gods. [/i] The group goes off on this argument for a long time. Eventually Jahar tires to explain something. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]The Wyld and Creation form one total value.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]You're totally making things up. I call :):):):):):):):)![/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Clearly my charm doesn't work on Jahar. [/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]You make Creation from the Wyld, that is true.[/i] Group goes back into argument about Jade's Luck being responsible for doing stuff in past lives, which she freaks out about. Jahar eventually goes back to trying to explain. [b]Jahar[/b] (very condescending): [i]A long time ago there was only the Wyld. There was no Creation, there was no destruction. Then they made Creation out of the Wyld. And they were both. [/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]Can you go back to being Humble?[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]I'm trying to be simple. Not everyone in the group is as educated.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i] Do you want me to explain this to you?[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]You already have! Just from work of your past self.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Clearly I need to do it better![/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]Over time, Creation got bigger, and the Wyld got smaller, but they were still made from one value. There is still a finite amount. Creation and the Wyld are still the same amount of the world. Then the Exalts came along and we started destroying things. Permanently. The spirits went away, the demons went away, and every time creation got a little or a lot smaller. [/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]We need to get Primordials to :):):):).[/i] [b]Jahar[/b]:[i] It doesn't work that way.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Spirits are confusing.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] The void was formed when we destroyed things. Unfortunately the work referenced the book that knows everything.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i] I want to kill all our predecessors and dance on their graves. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] As proof of the fact that there is a finite amount of both Wyld and creation. We need to make more of the Wyld into Creation, ya ya ya...[/i] [b]Liz:[/b] [i]He just said "Ya, ya, ya..." to our PRIME DIRECTIVE! [/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]This does not mean we should be sucking up to Death Lords! I don't mind peaceful co-existence... [/i] The group goes into more random arguing. [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Anyway, the man in the pretty picture in your pocket who you've gone all gaga for.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]I hardly tell him everything we've been doing.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]We shouldn't be running errands for somebody else, when we don't know who he works for. I think that's Gareth and my concern.[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]Well we've been doing that all along. Half the stuff we do is at the behest of someone else.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Well I am curious about Tiger's mentor. But that's another discussion entirely. [/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Yea, that really freaks me out. The whole supernatural mentor that we don't really know. So not cool. [/i] The group starts arguing about Opec and where he came from and why doing things for him is a good idea and Tiger's mentor, over each other so I can't understand any of the conversations involved. [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]We don't even know what the purpose of Demons is. So when we destroy them, we don't know what the world loses. And this was written by a woman who made a manse that hates demons. She wants them banished, not destroyed. That is why things are not destroyed, they just get imprisoned forever.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]I'm perfectly happy with "imprisoned forever." I'm fine with sending things away.[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]You also can't make an unbreakable prison because sometimes the world changes.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i]Fair enough. Cause we're out now. You know, some day we need to go to Heaven, find out who put us in prison and kick their asses. [/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i] I'd like to point out that he [/i](Jahar) [i]completely changes his beliefs to accommodate his argument. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]What? [/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]You totally 360'ed on the Wyld.[/i] Everyone starts laughing. [b]Ryan:[/b] [i]Oh, 180'ed![/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] I've never stated an original belief about the Wyld.[/i] (Pause) [i]Wait. [/i](Long pause, then totally confused) [i]What?[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Yay![/i] [b]Liz:[/b] [i]A-Dom should get a drama point for confusing Jahar![/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]You were against the Wyld. Then I pointed out the Wyld is a lot like the Underworld. Suddenly you were all "I like the Wyld!" [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]No, I never liked the Wyld. I'm just pointing out that the Wyld and Creation are the same thing. I know this from her[/i] (Jade's Luck)[i] predecessor research. But then I don't know if her predecessor was right. I think we need to make more Creation and less Wyld.[/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]Well maybe you shouldn't be all "you're my friend" with someone who may be involved in the manufacture of the material that is currently imprisoning our benefactor?[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Wow, that's a good point.[/i] [b]Gareth[/b] (depressed): [i]I figured this out two years ago...[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Jahar I want to make a point.[/i] A-Dom takes the bag from around his neck and opened it and dumped it over the side. [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]What was in the bag?[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] [i]Skelly.[/i] [b]Jahar [/b](confused): [i]You were wearing Skelly? Why didn't you look like a hump back?[/i] [b]Jade's Luck: [/b] [i]Because when we collect Skelly's remains all there was, was dust and a finger bone.[/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Skelly's not coming back now.[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]I should pray on this. You have some interesting observations things.[/i] Jade's Luck decides to dance up and down in frustration and flair her anima in irritation as Jahar walks off. Gareth decides to label/mark out a specific section of the ship for this activity. [b]Jade's Luck:[/b] [i] I have to go over there?[/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]It's for the safety of the boat. It's nice to have a little section for spazing out. [/i] Somehow the group starts arguing about who broke Maibee's neck. [b]Ryan: [/b] [i]You ratted me out you bastard! I just read that synopsis![/i] [b]Gabe:[/b] [i] I hope the rest of you have pieced together what Jahar can't piece together right now. [/i] A-Dom and Jahar get into an argument about "How do you know a ghost moves on when it finishes it's existence" if you can't question one that's done it? Jahar tries to explain that when they finish, they are done, they reincarnate, the move one, hence you can't question them. [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]I need to die to figure out how this works... or I could just kill all of you...[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]A-Dom! We could just summon a ghost and ask it directly. [/i] [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]So we're still going to the place where I'm going to get mind :):):):)ed?[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Sadly, yes.[/i] [b]Gabe: [/b] [i]You have time![/i] [b]Liz: [/b] [i]They are called "Integrity charms." [/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (checking his notes): [i]Nope, those aren't on the list. [/i] [b]Gareth: [/b] [i]Lists change. We're going to teach him integrity.[/i] [b]Jahar: [/b] [i]A-Dom! How did you get your eye back![/i] Group goes back to harassing Jahar about collecting souls. [b]A-Dom: [/b] [i]Do you need a scythe for that? There is a Mr. Jahar here, for the reaping...[/i] [/QUOTE]
