Perpetual Gloom 012c

[8/1/2013 8:26:40 PM] Kate: A bright, shiny new day dawns, not that you're necessarily aware of that at this point, given that the shutters are drawn. However, this is a positive-energy plane, so you still have +2 fast healing, I think it's called, and you probably feel all lovely and full of life. Also at least *some* of you had a very nice night last night. [8/1/2013 8:27:33 PM] Kate: In your cases, you may possibly wake up to the sound of humming, as the baby kobold is playing with a pillow on the floor near the window, where a bit of light is coming through the shutter. [8/1/2013 8:27:58 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros groans, groggily, as he slowly wakes up. [8/1/2013 8:28:06 PM] Jamaros: mmmmrrrmmm [8/1/2013 8:28:33 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros wakes up and looks at the baby kobold. [8/1/2013 8:29:12 PM] Amara: Amara wakes up and attempts to find the source of the humming. Upon realizing it's only Tikkara, she falls back onto the bed. [8/1/2013 8:29:33 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros rubs his eyes and heads for the window. [8/1/2013 8:29:43 PM] Jamaros: ((To Tikkara)) so, how'd you sleep? [8/1/2013 8:29:55 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Good! [8/1/2013 8:30:02 PM] Kate: Her common is about as good as her Draconic. [8/1/2013 8:30:35 PM] Jamaros: ...I think I'm up for breakfast, what do you want? [8/1/2013 8:31:03 PM] Jamaros: ((To whoever's listening)) [8/1/2013 8:31:09 PM] Amara: To never have to leave this bed. I'm quite comfortable. [8/1/2013 8:31:17 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Food. [8/1/2013 8:31:26 PM] Amara: Also what she said. [8/1/2013 8:31:33 PM] Jamaros: That's specific. I'll find out what they're serving. [8/1/2013 8:31:46 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros heads over to Amara in bed and kisses her gently. [8/1/2013 8:32:01 PM] Jamaros: But you are gonna have to get out of bed soon, honey. Big day today. [8/1/2013 8:32:19 PM] Kate: Tikkara smiles. Tiny baby kobi teeth! Then she goes back to hugging the pillow. [8/1/2013 8:32:23 PM] Amara: Right, I forgot we scheduled our deaths for today. How could I not be excited about that! [8/1/2013 8:33:06 PM] Jamaros: Now that I'm over the pants wetting fear, I'm find it rather exhilirating. [8/1/2013 8:33:12 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros heads to the door. [8/1/2013 8:33:32 PM] Jamaros: I'll find out what today's special is and bring you back a plate. And a smaller plate for the lizard. [8/1/2013 8:33:42 PM] Amara: Thank you! [8/1/2013 8:34:01 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Pants? [8/1/2013 8:34:14 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros puts on his pants and heads out into the tavern part of the tavern. [8/1/2013 8:34:33 PM] Kate: Tikkara: What's pants? [8/1/2013 8:35:27 PM] Amara: Pants…clothes…umm…. [8/1/2013 8:35:42 PM] Kate: (She has no pants. Or, in fact, clothes.) [8/1/2013 8:35:49 PM] Amara: Amara gets up and looks for another pair of pants and lifts them up. "Like these." [8/1/2013 8:36:01 PM] Amara: For warmth….and decency. [8/1/2013 8:36:10 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Pants. [8/1/2013 8:36:31 PM] Amara: Pants indeed. [8/1/2013 8:37:35 PM] Kate: Tikkara, in a singsong voice: Pants, pants, pants! [8/1/2013 8:37:44 PM] Amara: Amara giggles. [8/1/2013 8:37:56 PM] Jamaros: ((spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam)) [8/1/2013 8:38:32 PM] Amara: Did you sleep okay Tikkara? It wasn't too…..cold….or anything? [8/1/2013 8:39:10 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Not cold, warm. Inside is warm at night. [8/1/2013 8:39:48 PM] Amara: Yes. Yes it is. We have a big day today…I'm not sure what we'll have you do yet.... [8/1/2013 8:41:18 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Big, big, big. [8/1/2013 8:42:19 PM] Amara: Do you remember much about your father? What he looked like, what his skills were, preferential ways of killing people? Just to prepare myself, you know. [8/1/2013 8:43:53 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Father big, big, big. Claws, teeth, tail. [8/1/2013 8:44:54 PM] Amara: Sweetie do you remember anything else? Anything *a little* more important. [8/1/2013 8:46:25 PM] Kate: Tikkara thinks. [8/1/2013 8:46:35 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Eats hearts? [8/1/2013 8:47:12 PM] Amara: Oh holy gods, I may not have been religious previously, but if I pray enough now will you please spare my heart from being eaten [8/1/2013 8:48:31 PM] Kate: Tikkara: S'magic! [8/1/2013 8:48:54 PM] Amara: What's magic? His heart-eating or my praying? [8/1/2013 8:49:17 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Hearts. It's where the power is! [8/1/2013 8:49:29 PM] Amara: He gets his power from eating hearts? [8/1/2013 8:50:41 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Don't know. Didn't eat mama's. [8/1/2013 8:51:57 PM] Amara: Was that out of the ordinary? Why didn't he eat mama's? [8/1/2013 8:52:37 PM] Kate: She shrugs. "Mama sleeping. Now new mama." [8/1/2013 8:52:51 PM] Kate: She hops up and hugs Amara's legs. Because that's all she can reach. [8/1/2013 8:53:35 PM] Amara: Amara picks Tikkara up and plops her on her lap. [8/1/2013 8:54:43 PM] Amara: Tikkara, I have one last question for you. Think you can answer it for me? [8/1/2013 8:54:58 PM] Kate: Tikkara snuggles into Amara. "Try!" [8/1/2013 8:55:38 PM] Amara: Okay, now think *very* hard before you answer. Do you remember why you and your mother left in the first place? Did your father make you leave? [8/1/2013 8:56:22 PM] Kate: Tikkara nods. "Mama disobey." [8/1/2013 8:56:39 PM] Amara: Disobey? Disobey how? What did Mama do? [8/1/2013 8:56:54 PM] Kate: Tikkara shrugs. "Dunno!" [8/1/2013 8:57:19 PM] Amara: Are you sure? You never overheard whispers or rumors of why? [8/1/2013 8:59:46 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Dunno! [8/1/2013 9:00:11 PM] Amara: That's okay. Don't you worry about it. Everything is going to be okay. [8/1/2013 9:00:42 PM] Kate: She snuggles Amara, cooing a bit. [8/1/2013 9:01:44 PM] Amara: Amara snuggles her back. "Hmmm….I wonder when Jamaros is coming back…he's been getting breakfast for quite some time now.  Didn't think it took this long…Maybe he got lost. " [8/1/2013 9:02:59 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Foooooooooooood. Food, food, food food food. [8/1/2013 9:03:49 PM] Amara: Yeah I'm getting hungry too. [8/1/2013 9:03:55 PM] Amara: Amara 's stomach growls. [8/1/2013 9:04:28 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros knocks and enters. [8/1/2013 9:04:37 PM] Jamaros: I come bearing food. [8/1/2013 9:04:48 PM] Amara: Hey we were just talking about you. What took so long? [8/1/2013 9:05:12 PM] Jamaros: It's busy out, many people looking for bacon and eggs. [8/1/2013 9:05:19 PM] Jamaros: ((Is Cira still on my shoulder?)) [8/1/2013 9:05:27 PM] Kate: Cira is, yep. [8/1/2013 9:05:31 PM] Kate: Cira: Mew. [8/1/2013 9:05:42 PM] Kate: Tikkara looks at the food, eyes wiiiiide. [8/1/2013 9:05:46 PM] Amara: And you come back with Cira too! [8/1/2013 9:06:06 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros hands Tikkara the smaller plate of bacon and eggs, then hands one of the larger plates to Amara. [8/1/2013 9:06:26 PM] Jamaros: Yes, who has had enough bacon already and who we will not be giving anymore. [8/1/2013 9:06:33 PM] Kate: Cira: Mrowwwl! [8/1/2013 9:06:38 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros shoots looks at the two of them. [8/1/2013 9:06:38 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Bird! [8/1/2013 9:06:46 PM] Kate: Tikkara starts slurping the insides of the eggs out. [8/1/2013 9:06:54 PM] Kate: Cira: *Meow!* [8/1/2013 9:06:55 PM | Edited 9:07:01 PM] Jamaros: Don't growl at me, you have a paying audience out there if you want food. [8/1/2013 9:07:34 PM] Amara: Amara starts inhaling her food! Very hungry [8/1/2013 9:07:45 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros digs into his plate with gusto. [8/1/2013 9:08:25 PM] Jamaros: Before we go, we'll have to establish proper teams. [8/1/2013 9:08:38 PM] Amara: "Proper teams"? [8/1/2013 9:08:47 PM] Jamaros: Kal's coming with me and we need Khiro sneaking, so I think it makes sense if you sneak in with Khiro [8/1/2013 9:08:53 PM] Kate: Cira: Mew? [8/1/2013 9:09:17 PM] Amara: I mean….yeah sure wherever you want me. [8/1/2013 9:09:36 PM] Jamaros: I just think its best, for all parties, if Khiro isn't alone with Tae Li. [8/1/2013 9:09:44 PM] Jamaros: There's enough static with those people as is. [8/1/2013 9:10:15 PM] Amara: Relationship issues with those ones. Understandable. [8/1/2013 9:10:24 PM | Edited 9:10:32 PM] Kate: Cira nods. "Mrrr." [8/1/2013 9:10:46 PM] Jamaros: Well, not everyone can have the perfect storybook relationship that we have. [8/1/2013 9:11:04 PM] Amara: Amara looks at him. "I wouldn't say it's perfect…." [8/1/2013 9:11:38 PM] Jamaros: ...well, I am prone to hyperbole, but I just think things are going well. [8/1/2013 9:11:52 PM] Amara: That they are, my dear. [8/1/2013 9:12:03 PM] Jamaros: Which reminds me, we should probably hold onto those leaves I found, you never know when they'll come in handy. [8/1/2013 9:12:06 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros smiles [8/1/2013 9:12:13 PM] Amara: Amara smirks. [8/1/2013 9:12:35 PM] Kate: Cira: Mew. [8/1/2013 9:12:51 PM] Amara: Have some ideas there, do you? [8/1/2013 9:13:08 PM] Kate: Cira rolls her eyes. [8/1/2013 9:13:22 PM] Jamaros: ((To Cira)) Jealous, much? [8/1/2013 9:13:27 PM] Amara: Amara glares at Cira. [8/1/2013 9:13:58 PM] Kate: Cira sadkittyeyes her, and rolls onto her back for tummyrubs. [8/1/2013 9:14:10 PM] Jamaros: We are traveling with the biggest group of prudes, you know that? [8/1/2013 9:14:49 PM] Amara: Amara to Cira. "Those eyes don't work on me.  I have an immunity! You've been sassy which means no tummy rubs." [8/1/2013 9:15:14 PM] Amara: Biggest group of prudes, what's that supposed to mean? Besides Cira, it seems everybody has been….having their fair share of fun.... [8/1/2013 9:15:53 PM] Jamaros: Well, Tae Li, and Kal's become a bit...bitter recently. [8/1/2013 9:15:57 PM] Kate: Cira: Mewwww. [8/1/2013 9:16:22 PM] Jamaros: Probably didn't help that Kal's spell's worn off...that's gotta be rough. [8/1/2013 9:16:58 PM] Kate: Cira mews piteously. [8/1/2013 9:17:49 PM] Amara: If their relationship problems hinder us at all on this job or the next I will murder them all…or just throw fire at them. One of the two. [8/1/2013 9:18:18 PM] Kate: Tikkara: No fire! No fire. [8/1/2013 9:18:40 PM] Kate: She hides her face! [8/1/2013 9:18:55 PM] Jamaros: ...I'm guessing there's some trauma there. [8/1/2013 9:19:19 PM] Amara: Her father was a dragon, it's a bit understandable. [8/1/2013 9:19:29 PM] Amara: Tikkara, did something happen with the fire? [8/1/2013 9:19:41 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Fire *mean.* [8/1/2013 9:19:58 PM] Amara: But I'm nice, right? You know I won't hurt you. [8/1/2013 9:20:11 PM] Kate: Tikkara nodnodnods. [8/1/2013 9:20:16 PM] Kate: Cira mews pointedly. [8/1/2013 9:21:12 PM] Amara: So my fire won't hurt you. But did someone else's? Did your father do something to hurt you? [8/1/2013 9:22:00 PM] Kate: Tikkara shakes her head no! [8/1/2013 9:22:08 PM] Amara: Good. [8/1/2013 9:23:38 PM] Kate: She finishes with her eggs and sucks on the bacon. [8/1/2013 9:23:46 PM] Kate: Cira mews like she's DYING OF HUNGER. [8/1/2013 9:23:50 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros polishes off his food. [8/1/2013 9:24:30 PM] Jamaros: Did you see your father hurt someone else? [8/1/2013 9:24:52 PM] Kate: She nodnodnods. [8/1/2013 9:24:59 PM] Kate: Cira licks Jamaros's plate. [8/1/2013 9:25:21 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros shoves the plate at her. "Fine, Gods" [8/1/2013 9:25:41 PM] Amara: Such a needy cat. [8/1/2013 9:25:41 PM] Jamaros: ((To Tikkara)) Who'd you see him hurt, Tikkara? [8/1/2013 9:27:43 PM] Kate: She pauses for a moment. "... mama." [8/1/2013 9:27:48 PM] Kate: Cira purrrs. [8/1/2013 9:28:04 PM] Amara: Amara snuggles Tikkara! [8/1/2013 9:28:27 PM] Jamaros: ...Tikkara, do you know where we're going today? [8/1/2013 9:28:37 PM] Kate: Tikkara: No? [8/1/2013 9:28:43 PM] Kate: Tikkara snuggles her back! [8/1/2013 9:28:53 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros sneaks a look to Amara. [8/1/2013 9:29:15 PM] Amara: Amara shakes her head. [8/1/2013 9:29:27 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros nods, insistently [8/1/2013 9:30:13 PM] Amara: (( mouthing to Jamaros)) "I'm not telling her. If you want to, do it." [8/1/2013 9:30:21 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros sighs. [8/1/2013 9:30:29 PM] Jamaros: We're going to see your father. [8/1/2013 9:30:34 PM] Jamaros: Now, listen to me. [8/1/2013 9:30:57 PM] Kate: Tikkara wideeyes, and shrinks back. [8/1/2013 9:31:05 PM] Jamaros: He will not hurt you, and, stay with us, and be very quiet, and we will protect you. You understand me? [8/1/2013 9:31:50 PM] Kate: Tiny little lizardtears! [8/1/2013 9:31:57 PM] Jamaros: I know it's scary, but you have to trust us. You know Amara, and you know she would never do anything that would get you hurt. [8/1/2013 9:32:03 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Not give back? [8/1/2013 9:32:23 PM] Jamaros: We're not giving you back. We're going to see him precisely about that. [8/1/2013 9:33:10 PM] Amara: You'll have to put on a brave face and be quiet for just a little bit. Do you think you can do that? For Mama? [8/1/2013 9:33:35 PM] Kate: Tikkara hesitates. [8/1/2013 9:33:56 PM] Kate: Cira looks up, and then saunters over to the little kobold, cuddling her up a bit. [8/1/2013 9:34:00 PM] Kate: Tikkara: ... okay. [8/1/2013 9:34:55 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros smiles. "Good girl.  Everything will be fine, you'll see." [8/1/2013 9:34:59 PM] Amara: I know you'll be great and we'll make sure nothing bad happens. [8/1/2013 9:35:05 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Okay.... [8/1/2013 9:35:07 PM] Kate: Cira purrs. [8/1/2013 9:35:42 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros starts getting dressed. [8/1/2013 9:35:55 PM] Amara: Amara sighs and begins to do the same. [8/1/2013 9:35:59 PM] Jamaros: We should see if the others are up yet, we're gonna have to go pretty soon. [8/1/2013 9:36:21 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros puts on his usual clothes, not the Drow outfit. [8/1/2013 9:36:21 PM] Kate: Cira opts to stay totally naked! And Tikkara has no clothes. [8/1/2013 9:37:12 PM] Jamaros: We're going to need to get her clothes at some point. The other dragons seem to wear them. [8/1/2013 9:37:26 PM] Amara: Lots of pretty dresses? [8/1/2013 9:37:53 PM] Jamaros: I was thinking some leather armor, maybe some cloaks, practical wear. [8/1/2013 9:38:12 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Wear clothes! [8/1/2013 9:38:15 PM] Kate: Cira: Mew. [8/1/2013 9:38:23 PM] Amara: Dresses *are* practical. I wear them all the time and you don't  see me complaining. Definitely armor though. [8/1/2013 9:38:53 PM] Jamaros: You're a magic-user, sweetie. Tikkara's going to need some skills. [8/1/2013 9:39:33 PM] Amara: You can teach her card tricks and….daggers….and….well I'm not sure how I feel about all that…. [8/1/2013 9:39:54 PM] Jamaros: What's wrong with card tricks? [8/1/2013 9:39:58 PM] Jamaros: *smirk* [8/1/2013 9:40:07 PM] Kate: Tikkara: Tricks? [8/1/2013 9:40:15 PM] Jamaros: I'll show you later. [8/1/2013 9:40:34 PM] Amara: With you doing them, nothing is wrong. But hey I guess it would be fun for her to know, right? [8/1/2013 9:40:47 PM] Jamaros: Anyway, all topics for another day. [8/1/2013 9:41:01 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros finishes putting on his full cloak and gear and heads for the door. [8/1/2013 9:41:13 PM] Jamaros: Let's see how things are going in relationship purgatory. [8/1/2013 9:41:33 PM] Kate: Cira: Mew. [8/1/2013 9:41:48 PM] Amara: Amara puts the rest of her gear on, puts Tikkara in the sling, and follows Jamaros out. [8/1/2013 9:42:00 PM] Kate: Tikkara holds onto Cira as she does. It takes both hands and a *lot* of effort. [8/1/2013 9:42:19 PM] Jamaros: Another word of warning, I'll have to take Tikkara at some point so you can sneak in. [8/1/2013 9:42:45 PM] Amara: Do you….do you have to? [8/1/2013 9:43:10 PM] Jamaros: She'll kind of be the main topic for discussion and you're not even supposed to be there, remember? [8/1/2013 9:43:24 PM] Jamaros: You don't see her being a problem when sneaking around? [8/1/2013 9:43:31 PM] Jamaros: I promise to keep her safe. [8/1/2013 9:44:00 PM] Amara: Amara nods slowly. "Please. Keep both of you safe." [8/1/2013 9:44:23 PM] Jamaros: Please, honey, this is my profession. [8/1/2013 9:44:30 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros exits and assumes Amara follows. [8/1/2013 9:44:37 PM] Kate: Where to? Khiro's room? [8/1/2013 9:44:38 PM] Amara: (( Indeed she does! )) [8/1/2013 9:44:55 PM] Jamaros: ((I was gonna check the Tavern first and see if they were there yet)) [8/1/2013 9:45:07 PM] Kate: Easily done. Only Kalanor is down there. [8/1/2013 9:45:30 PM] Jamaros: ...where's Tae Li and Khiro? [8/1/2013 9:45:46 PM] Kate: Kalanor: I don't know. [8/1/2013 9:46:07 PM] Jamaros: ...they aren't up yet, those...uh...yeah, I'll just go check on them. [8/1/2013 9:46:13 PM] Jamaros: Jamaros heads off to Khiro's room. [8/1/2013 9:46:38 PM] Amara: Amara follows! [8/1/2013 9:47:10 PM] Kate: Notice check! [8/1/2013 9:47:48 PM] Jamaros: ((9)) [8/1/2013 9:48:01 PM | Edited 9:48:14 PM] Kate: You hear sounds of a scuffle!
