The room was completely full of smoke.

But it’s something Cujug made up for everyone’s enjoyment. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: (really fake happy voice) Oh great. I heard a rumor about some fertility potion he made...</p><p></p><p>Hostess: Oh no, it’s not that. That’s purple. Down the hall, three rooms to the left.</p><p>Liz: I’ll be avoiding that room.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck takes a nice deep breath and then walks inside. The first room is about 50ft by 50ft room with a number of tables for food and drink set up. Everyone in the room is acting normally, relaxing, talking, etc. Off one side of the room is the entrance to the baths, and pink smoke can be seen in that area. On the other side is a long hallway with a multitude of rooms each full of a different colored smoke. The smoke was wafting out of the rooms and mixing in the hallway forming a multi-colored haze. Third one on the right had purple smoke coming out of it.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck starts breathing the smoke, and starts to relax a little bit. Tiger becomes really relaxed. Everything’s OK for Tiger. Jade’s Luck notices that they have good booze (and failed her temperance check) and starts drinking.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck decides to interrogate (non-A-Dom style) various slaves about where the slave Chris was to be found. She starts with the slave bartender, as that is where she is getting drinks. The bartender is very relaxed... and eventually starts giving Jade's Luck information. She finds out the different rooms have been set up with different colored smokes which encourage different kinds of behaviors. She also finds out there is a slave by that name in the purple room.</p><p>Liz: We'll send tiger.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: (Speaking as Tiger): Are you a slave named Chris? Excellent. I slaughter everyone else.</p><p></p><p>Dan laughs. </p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck wanders up to Tiger and explains things.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Purple is the anti-pregnancy one?</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Noooooo... remember how they are blaming Jahar’s interesting offspring on that potion? Remember that whole little side issue we have to deal with? I’m taking herbs, but I don’t know if they can withstand magical... yea...</p><p></p><p>Tiger: So, you want to sneak her out now?</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Do you know how to identify this person or you just have a name?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Name on a list.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Lets find her. Then see what we can do. Can you be all sneaky? Maybe pretend to be someone who is re-assigning her to someplace that is not in this damn smoke? Pretend to be Jahar maybe?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Umm... no. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck and Tiger hear screams of pain and wimping coming from one of the rooms down the corridor.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: I think we should go check that out. I think that’s our cue.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Whatever.</p><p></p><p>They go down the hallway and find a side room full of red smoke, from which the screams and whimpering are coming. It appears to be a pain and torture fetish room. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: (to Tiger) Lets find your friend and leave before I feel obliged to do something... about...</p><p>Liz: Well I rolled 4 successes on 3 dice. Limit break time.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: Damn it. I lost. She limit broke first. </p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck goes into the Red Rage of Compassion. She turns from Tiger and throws her bottle full of booze at the head of the nearest torturer, using Cascade of Cutting Terror.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: (still mellow) I’ll go check out the purple room then...</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: (thinks she is screaming) Stop that can’t you see you’re hurting them! (However everyone just hears an incoherent scream of rage.)</p><p></p><p>The bottle smashes into a male torturer’s head, and the man starts screaming in pain, as his water aspect anima starts to flair. Jade’s Luck launches herself at him, runs up him, kicks him in the face (she misses), doing a flip, and punching him in the face (which also missed). </p><p>All other players makes suggestions on how she should attack various parts of his anatomy and/or organs.</p><p></p><p>Liz: Wow, I associate with some rather disturbed individuals. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck grabs him and slams him into a table full of torture weapons then elbow him in the back (despite the fact that he is already dead). Various people attempt to attack Jade’s Luck with assorted torture implements. Jade’s Luck’s starts to glow. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom, on Gareth’s boat, feels there is something wrong with the world.</p><p></p><p>As Tiger is moving towards the room with the purple smoke, right before he reaches it, he notices that sunlight starts coming out of the room with the Red smoke. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: (Yells) Chis!</p><p></p><p>Tiger then looks for anyone who responds. She appears to be “busy.” She is in a “good old fashioned fun” kind of room. She does have one arm chained to the wall. The room appears to be a normal orgy, and nobody appears to be in risk of dying anytime soon. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: (to the room in general) Enh, you can wait.</p><p></p><p>Tiger heads back towards the room full of purple smoke. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck is surrounded by various people trying to attack her for breaking up their torturing fun. One of them is standing on top of a slave who is on the floor. Jade's Luck grabs two different peoples heads as supports for he hands, and uses them like balance bars, while kicking the man on the slave twice. Killing him and sending him flying out of the room right in front of Tiger.</p><p></p><p>Tiger kills both the men Jade's Luck is holding onto by cutting them in half vertically.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: We have to go. (Jade's Luck hears incoherent mumbling from someone who is helping her against “the Oppressors.”)</p><p></p><p>Tiger hears: “I’m having such a bad day. Bring me a slave to beat! One that looks like my husband.” The voice sounds familiar. He also notices people from various rooms are looking into the corridor, due to the death screams. He also notices Jade’s Luck is smiling. Jade’s Luck goes looking for more oppressors. She finds Jara, as she is heading towards them.</p><p></p><p>Tiger tries to bonk Jade’s Luck on the head. He does very little damage. Luckily, Jade's Luck knows Tiger is not someone who is torturing people, but she does stop to look at him.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: (thinking fast): There are people in the purple room being tortured. Go help them! (Tiger points down the hall. Jade’s Luck appears to get the jest of it.) There is a girl we have to save... she’s being hit by some guy... repeatedly. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck starts heading for the purple room. Jara comes into the hallway from the room with the orange smoke. </p><p></p><p>Jara (screaming): Anathema!</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Where?</p><p>Ryan: Good cover.</p><p></p><p>Back on the Boat with Gareth and A-Dom</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I still think Jara might be on the boat behind us. She’s sneaky. </p><p></p><p></p><p>Jara is not wearing armor, and not carrying her gore maul. So Tiger tries to knock out Jara by punching her. While he gives her a number of small bruises, he doesn’t knock her out. Jara grabs a hold of the stone wall, and pulls out a Gore Maul (formed of stone). She attacks Jade's Luck the obvious anathema. This makes Jade's Luck notice her, and Jara is filed under Cynis and “evil oppressors” in Jade Luck’s mind, so she happily goes after Jara. While she doesn’t manage to hit Jade's Luck, he does manage to knock them both down, as her weapon causes small earthquakes. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: Don’t kill her! She has to live! (Jade's Luck only hears gobbly gook.) </p><p>Dan: Wait... she doesn’t have a weapon out... she does bashing... woohoo!</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck attacks ineffectually, but ends up standing on Jara’s Gore Maul. Tiger hops up, attacks her a few times and draws Diplomacy again. Tiger swings at Jara, but his attack is redirected towards Jade’s Luck, who he misses. Jara tries to beat Jade's Luck into the wall to get Jade's Luck off her Gore Maul. Jade's Luck soaks it but is thrown off. Tiger stops messing around and starts hitting Jara for more bashing damage. Jade's Luck grabs one of the smoking pots and throws it at Jara’s head. The smoking pot explodes in shower of essence, and doing a tiny amount of aggravated damage. As they all realized the smoke pots are in fact magical artifacts. Tiger hits Jara again knocking her unconscious. At this point, Tiger is glowing.</p><p>Alex: Tiger, glowing? Is it like the light of stars?</p><p></p><p>Red Rage of Compassion... is rather uncompassionate. Jade’s Luck grabs Jara and runs down the hall into the room full of purple smoke. She sees a number of slaves and a number of oppressors “abusing” them. So Jade's Luck uses Cascade of Cutting Jara to hit one of them. Jade’s Luck goes Totemic, so the big glowing Fox shows up. Tiger tries to grab Jara... but that doesn’t work so well. As there are hundred of images of Jara. He does manage to grab her arm as she is flying. Luckily, Tiger manages to make her hit feet first, instead of head first. So Jara was alive, although both her legs were now broken. The man she hit was dead. The slave under the dead man, was perfectly safe. </p><p></p><p>Tiger sees three guards run into the room and try to stab Jade’s Luck, and all fail. Jade’s Luck doesn’t seem to notice the guards. The fox anima image does look at them. Tiger throws Jara over his shoulder then tries to point at Chris.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Save that one! (Waving randomly (he botched his persuasion roll).)</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck grabs one of the men (nearest), and uses him “Like a seven section staff” to beat one of the other men. Chris no longer has someone on top of her.</p><p>GM: (to Ryan) I don’t know how you sleep at night.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: With a locked door.</p><p></p><p>Tiger jams a lockpick into the lock on Chris’ manacle, and pops it open, grabs Chris, throws her over his other shoulder, and runs out the door carrying both her and Jara. Tiger heads for a back entrance, by running along the walls to avoid the congestion in the hallway. </p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck finishes up the rest of the oppressors in the room. </p><p></p><p></p><p>Still on the boat sailing.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Ok, Maybe Jara isn’t on that boat. Unless she’s being really sneaky. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>While Jade's Luck is standing there trying to decide who to kill next. A man in black appears from nowhere, pulls out a sword and stabs upwards, towards the celling. A body of a large man falls down. Jade's Luck tries to figure out if she knows the man in black, in any way shape or form. All she sees is a glowing ball of blue light where his face should be. A number of ideas pop into her head fully formed. </p><p></p><p>Mildly stunned from this experience, Jade's Luck goes running from the room and the building. </p><p></p><p>Tiger (who is still glowing), upon seeing a patrol of Dragon Bloods, throws Jara at them and yells “Here take care of her!” Then runs off, still carrying Chris. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Gareth notice a daylight like glow coming from the middle of the city of Atlantis.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: That can’t be good.</p><p></p><p>Tiger and Jade's Luck both head into the sewers, then Tiger has a memory of the hollow area under the city. Jade's Luck eventually finds the area by following Tiger. Tiger put Chris somewhere in the undercity. Then Tiger and Jade's Luck ran into each other. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Hello.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Are you all psycho still?</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: No. Oh you have Chris? That’s good. We got her out. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: I got her out. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: There is all this stuff in my head.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: You were killing “bad people.” </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Not kicking puppies?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: No, just bad people.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Well we never do anything! We’re always like “we should do something about that.” Then we don’t. Well damn it, things got fixed. I’ve got this thing in my head.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: You think about that. I’ll be right back. (Tiger goes and gets Chris)</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Remember the Auditor who didn’t like how we were handling the elementals? Yea, like that but kind of a Judge. That’s what I saw. With a hood on. Put stuff in my head about what we should be doing. I’ve got all these arrows...</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Someone sent us an instruction book? Do you know how we can find him so we can thank him?</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Maybe go to Heaven? We need to re-arrange stuff. I think this was a sign of approval of my moving and shaking today.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Maybe it was a kick in the pants to get us going.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: That could be true.</p><p></p><p>Tiger looks at Chris, decides she’s freaked out. But “We arn’t glowing... as much.” So she should be OK about being kidnapped into the undercity by two anathema.</p><p></p><p>Still sailing towards Marcus' Gift:</p><p></p><p>Gareth: You see them any more?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: No, but it looks like the city is in Anathema mode. Probably best I’m not around.</p><p></p><p>Tiger and Jade's Luck wait around for a few hours in the undercity, then start moving around in case investigating Dragon Bloods found the way into the undercity chasing them. </p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: I don’t know if anybody saw us being all shinny. Someone might be looking for us.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Oh, I’m pretty sure people saw us.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: I don’t have the sneaky stuff that A-Dom has... I might want to learn some of that.</p><p>For the record: The undercity is mostly made out of large room, about fifty feet tall, hundreds of feet long, full of giant pillars.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck tries to explain that the “Blue faced guy” stabbed a Dragon Blood who was against the ceiling. But she was kind of rambling, and Tiger didn’t seem to care much.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Should I make he feel Happy or Calmly terrified? Which do you think would be better?</p><p>GM: So you’re having this conversation in front of her.</p><p></p><p>Liz: Yes, it so won’t make a difference.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: So, Happy and freaked out, or Calm and freaked out?</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Yea, I can’t make her not be freaked out, but I can fix her emotional state.</p><p></p><p>So Jade’s Luck decides to make her Calm. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: So... this is day one of the week of keeping people alive.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Like when Jara tried to kill the Rug Merchant. That was terrible, since we have to keep both of them alive.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: I was referring to something much more recent.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: Like what?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Like how after she was already unconscious, you tried to kill Jara.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: I tried to kill Jara?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Yes. Repeatedly. You attacked someone else with her.</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: I’m sorry I missed that. That sounds very fun... I mean like A-Dom. I wonder if it’s contagious?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Have you two been spending special time together?</p><p></p><p>Jade's Luck: No, no, no, nonononono... Especially until we sort out the guy with the face stabbing, cause I don’t want a mother<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=":)" />er baby. </p><p></p><p>Tiger goes to get supplies, and starts walking through the sewers. On his trip through the sewers, he ran into his Mentor.</p><p></p><p>Mentor: Since you seem to be doing well, I’m giving you the information early. But I still expect you to finish the week. The Wyld Zone appeared in the Coral Archipelago (and he gives Tiger a little map). You may want to move around some more. Whole Anathema scare. People looking for you.</p><p> Tiger: Would it be possible for my friends to meet you sometime?</p><p></p><p>Mentor: Why do they want to meet me?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: They have some questions. About people who are hard to remember.</p><p></p><p>Mentor: I could explain it all to them. Then they will forget it. What I can do is find someone who can explain it. So No, they can’t meet me. It will just upset them. But I’ll work on arranging for them to meet someone who can explain some things to them so they can remember it.</p></blockquote><p></p>

Killing him and sending him flying out of the room right in front of Tiger. Tiger kills both the men Jade's Luck is holding onto by cutting them in half vertically. Tiger: We have to go. (Jade's Luck hears incoherent mumbling from someone who is helping her against “the Oppressors.”) Tiger hears: “I’m having such a bad day. Bring me a slave to beat! One that looks like my husband.” The voice sounds familiar. He also notices people from various rooms are looking into the corridor, due to the death screams. He also notices Jade’s Luck is smiling. Jade’s Luck goes looking for more oppressors. She finds Jara, as she is heading towards them. Tiger tries to bonk Jade’s Luck on the head. He does very little damage. Luckily, Jade's Luck knows Tiger is not someone who is torturing people, but she does stop to look at him. Tiger: (thinking fast): There are people in the purple room being tortured. Go help them! (Tiger points down the hall. Jade’s Luck appears to get the jest of it.) There is a girl we have to save... she’s being hit by some guy... repeatedly. Jade's Luck starts heading for the purple room. Jara comes into the hallway from the room with the orange smoke. Jara (screaming): Anathema! Tiger: Where? Ryan: Good cover. Back on the Boat with Gareth and A-Dom A-Dom: I still think Jara might be on the boat behind us. She’s sneaky. Jara is not wearing armor, and not carrying her gore maul. So Tiger tries to knock out Jara by punching her. While he gives her a number of small bruises, he doesn’t knock her out. Jara grabs a hold of the stone wall, and pulls out a Gore Maul (formed of stone). She attacks Jade's Luck the obvious anathema. This makes Jade's Luck notice her, and Jara is filed under Cynis and “evil oppressors” in Jade Luck’s mind, so she happily goes after Jara. While she doesn’t manage to hit Jade's Luck, he does manage to knock them both down, as her weapon causes small earthquakes. Tiger: Don’t kill her! She has to live! (Jade's Luck only hears gobbly gook.) Dan: Wait... she doesn’t have a weapon out... she does bashing... woohoo! Jade's Luck attacks ineffectually, but ends up standing on Jara’s Gore Maul. Tiger hops up, attacks her a few times and draws Diplomacy again. Tiger swings at Jara, but his attack is redirected towards Jade’s Luck, who he misses. Jara tries to beat Jade's Luck into the wall to get Jade's Luck off her Gore Maul. Jade's Luck soaks it but is thrown off. Tiger stops messing around and starts hitting Jara for more bashing damage. Jade's Luck grabs one of the smoking pots and throws it at Jara’s head. The smoking pot explodes in shower of essence, and doing a tiny amount of aggravated damage. As they all realized the smoke pots are in fact magical artifacts. Tiger hits Jara again knocking her unconscious. At this point, Tiger is glowing. Alex: Tiger, glowing? Is it like the light of stars? Red Rage of Compassion... is rather uncompassionate. Jade’s Luck grabs Jara and runs down the hall into the room full of purple smoke. She sees a number of slaves and a number of oppressors “abusing” them. So Jade's Luck uses Cascade of Cutting Jara to hit one of them. Jade’s Luck goes Totemic, so the big glowing Fox shows up. Tiger tries to grab Jara... but that doesn’t work so well. As there are hundred of images of Jara. He does manage to grab her arm as she is flying. Luckily, Tiger manages to make her hit feet first, instead of head first. So Jara was alive, although both her legs were now broken. The man she hit was dead. The slave under the dead man, was perfectly safe. Tiger sees three guards run into the room and try to stab Jade’s Luck, and all fail. Jade’s Luck doesn’t seem to notice the guards. The fox anima image does look at them. Tiger throws Jara over his shoulder then tries to point at Chris. Tiger: Save that one! (Waving randomly (he botched his persuasion roll).) Jade’s Luck grabs one of the men (nearest), and uses him “Like a seven section staff” to beat one of the other men. Chris no longer has someone on top of her. GM: (to Ryan) I don’t know how you sleep at night. Ryan: With a locked door. Tiger jams a lockpick into the lock on Chris’ manacle, and pops it open, grabs Chris, throws her over his other shoulder, and runs out the door carrying both her and Jara. Tiger heads for a back entrance, by running along the walls to avoid the congestion in the hallway. Jade’s Luck finishes up the rest of the oppressors in the room. Still on the boat sailing. A-Dom: Ok, Maybe Jara isn’t on that boat. Unless she’s being really sneaky. While Jade's Luck is standing there trying to decide who to kill next. A man in black appears from nowhere, pulls out a sword and stabs upwards, towards the celling. A body of a large man falls down. Jade's Luck tries to figure out if she knows the man in black, in any way shape or form. All she sees is a glowing ball of blue light where his face should be. A number of ideas pop into her head fully formed. Mildly stunned from this experience, Jade's Luck goes running from the room and the building. Tiger (who is still glowing), upon seeing a patrol of Dragon Bloods, throws Jara at them and yells “Here take care of her!” Then runs off, still carrying Chris. A-Dom and Gareth notice a daylight like glow coming from the middle of the city of Atlantis. Gareth: That can’t be good. Tiger and Jade's Luck both head into the sewers, then Tiger has a memory of the hollow area under the city. Jade's Luck eventually finds the area by following Tiger. Tiger put Chris somewhere in the undercity. Then Tiger and Jade's Luck ran into each other. Jade's Luck: Hello. Tiger: Are you all psycho still? Jade's Luck: No. Oh you have Chris? That’s good. We got her out. Tiger: I got her out. Jade's Luck: There is all this stuff in my head. Tiger: You were killing “bad people.” Jade's Luck: Not kicking puppies? Tiger: No, just bad people. Jade's Luck: Well we never do anything! We’re always like “we should do something about that.” Then we don’t. Well damn it, things got fixed. I’ve got this thing in my head. Tiger: You think about that. I’ll be right back. (Tiger goes and gets Chris) Jade's Luck: Remember the Auditor who didn’t like how we were handling the elementals? Yea, like that but kind of a Judge. That’s what I saw. With a hood on. Put stuff in my head about what we should be doing. I’ve got all these arrows... Tiger: Someone sent us an instruction book? Do you know how we can find him so we can thank him? Jade's Luck: Maybe go to Heaven? We need to re-arrange stuff. I think this was a sign of approval of my moving and shaking today. Tiger: Maybe it was a kick in the pants to get us going. Jade's Luck: That could be true. Tiger looks at Chris, decides she’s freaked out. But “We arn’t glowing... as much.” So she should be OK about being kidnapped into the undercity by two anathema. Still sailing towards Marcus' Gift: Gareth: You see them any more? A-Dom: No, but it looks like the city is in Anathema mode. Probably best I’m not around. Tiger and Jade's Luck wait around for a few hours in the undercity, then start moving around in case investigating Dragon Bloods found the way into the undercity chasing them. Jade's Luck: I don’t know if anybody saw us being all shinny. Someone might be looking for us. Tiger: Oh, I’m pretty sure people saw us. Jade's Luck: I don’t have the sneaky stuff that A-Dom has... I might want to learn some of that. For the record: The undercity is mostly made out of large room, about fifty feet tall, hundreds of feet long, full of giant pillars. Jade's Luck tries to explain that the “Blue faced guy” stabbed a Dragon Blood who was against the ceiling. But she was kind of rambling, and Tiger didn’t seem to care much. Jade's Luck: Should I make he feel Happy or Calmly terrified? Which do you think would be better? GM: So you’re having this conversation in front of her. Liz: Yes, it so won’t make a difference. Tiger: So, Happy and freaked out, or Calm and freaked out? Jade's Luck: Yea, I can’t make her not be freaked out, but I can fix her emotional state. So Jade’s Luck decides to make her Calm. Tiger: So... this is day one of the week of keeping people alive. Jade's Luck: Like when Jara tried to kill the Rug Merchant. That was terrible, since we have to keep both of them alive. Tiger: I was referring to something much more recent. Jade's Luck: Like what? Tiger: Like how after she was already unconscious, you tried to kill Jara. Jade's Luck: I tried to kill Jara? Tiger: Yes. Repeatedly. You attacked someone else with her. Jade's Luck: I’m sorry I missed that. That sounds very fun... I mean like A-Dom. I wonder if it’s contagious? Tiger: Have you two been spending special time together? Jade's Luck: No, no, no, nonononono... Especially until we sort out the guy with the face stabbing, cause I don’t want a mother:):):):)er baby. Tiger goes to get supplies, and starts walking through the sewers. On his trip through the sewers, he ran into his Mentor. Mentor: Since you seem to be doing well, I’m giving you the information early. But I still expect you to finish the week. The Wyld Zone appeared in the Coral Archipelago (and he gives Tiger a little map). You may want to move around some more. Whole Anathema scare. People looking for you. Tiger: Would it be possible for my friends to meet you sometime? Mentor: Why do they want to meet me? Tiger: They have some questions. About people who are hard to remember. Mentor: I could explain it all to them. Then they will forget it. What I can do is find someone who can explain it. So No, they can’t meet me. It will just upset them. But I’ll work on arranging for them to meet someone who can explain some things to them so they can remember it. [/QUOTE]
