[2/5/2014 10:56:00 PM] Janis: ......................

[2/5/2014 10:56:10 PM] Janis: I told you other stuff too.

[2/5/2014 10:56:19 PM] Janis: I probably shouldn't have done that.

[2/5/2014 10:56:23 PM] Janis: That's why I'm upset.

[2/5/2014 10:57:07 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) grimaces. "It would be better in order to help find a solution for those... things."

[2/5/2014 10:57:27 PM] Janis: ....where in Meneluinin do you come from?

[2/5/2014 10:57:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .................................

[2/5/2014 10:58:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Do you mean before.... I was on Patrol?

[2/5/2014 10:58:23 PM] Janis: Yeah.

[2/5/2014 10:59:53 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles, but the smile seems forced. "Solitaire."

[2/5/2014 11:00:08 PM] Janis: Janis nods, sadly

[2/5/2014 11:01:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....What do you miss most?

[2/5/2014 11:01:39 PM] Janis: ................

[2/5/2014 11:01:42 PM] Janis: Janis shrugs

[2/5/2014 11:01:47 PM] Janis: Can't think of much

[2/5/2014 11:02:02 PM] Janis: I miss my mom, but no worse than when I left a year ago.

[2/5/2014 11:04:09 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles warmly. "...Is it difficult for you, to be... so uncertain?"

[2/5/2014 11:04:34 PM] Janis: Janis shrugs

[2/5/2014 11:04:38 PM] Janis: People like me here.

[2/5/2014 11:04:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....They do not like me, much.

[2/5/2014 11:05:20 PM] Janis: .............I'm sorry I got mad at you.

[2/5/2014 11:05:29 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It is understandable.

[2/5/2014 11:05:50 PM] Janis: Can I ask you something?

[2/5/2014 11:06:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....Of course.

[2/5/2014 11:06:18 PM] Janis: Who was killed by the law?

[2/5/2014 11:06:28 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns.

[2/5/2014 11:06:35 PM] Janis: Back when we were sharing secrets in the library, that's what you said to Wynn.

[2/5/2014 11:06:51 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .........

[2/5/2014 11:07:10 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I may have oversimplified.

[2/5/2014 11:07:34 PM] Janis: ((17 SM))

[2/5/2014 11:08:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Telling the... half-truth!))

[2/5/2014 11:08:29 PM] Janis: .........ok, you don't have to tell me.

[2/5/2014 11:08:38 PM] Janis: It's hard to tell people this stuff, huh?

[2/5/2014 11:09:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. "It is complicated."

[2/5/2014 11:09:11 PM] Janis: Janis nods

[2/5/2014 11:09:22 PM] Janis: You wanna trade?

[2/5/2014 11:09:36 PM] Janis: I tell you something about me you don't know.

[2/5/2014 11:09:44 PM] Janis: And you tell me something about you.

[2/5/2014 11:10:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) considers. "I have not traded secrets in this manner. Perhaps it is worthwhile. However, I cannot promise that such secrets will not see the light of day."

[2/5/2014 11:10:49 PM] Janis: Well, you've proven that.

[2/5/2014 11:11:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns.

[2/5/2014 11:11:13 PM] Janis: Janis smiles at Lira

[2/5/2014 11:11:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....And secrets............. They are secrets for a reason.

[2/5/2014 11:11:58 PM] Janis: Janis frowns again

[2/5/2014 11:12:02 PM] Janis: Janis nods

[2/5/2014 11:12:06 PM] Kali: You're at the forest door, by the way.

[2/5/2014 11:12:17 PM] Janis: Janis enters the forest

[2/5/2014 11:12:29 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) enters as well, following!

[2/5/2014 11:12:40 PM] Janis: Ok, how about a simpler question.

[2/5/2014 11:12:50 PM] Janis: Why did you suddenly decide to make a new bow?

[2/5/2014 11:13:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It was not sudden.

[2/5/2014 11:13:19 PM] Janis: When did you start?

[2/5/2014 11:14:07 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shrugs. "A week or so ago... I believe."

[2/5/2014 11:14:28 PM] Janis: Well, why'd you decide to start?

[2/5/2014 11:15:31 PM | Edited 11:15:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It keeps me busy. My practice with bowcrafting also...... helps.

[2/5/2014 11:15:47 PM] Janis: Helps with what?

[2/5/2014 11:16:48 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "Helps clear my mind, for one."

[2/5/2014 11:17:02 PM] Janis: Janis nods

[2/5/2014 11:18:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shows the 34.4% compelted longbow to Janis, and then puts it away again. "I also wish to practice...... and the longbow will be of more use to me than my current weapon."

[2/5/2014 11:19:31 PM] Janis: Janis nods "Well, it seems to be coming along alright."

[2/5/2014 11:19:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) beams.

[2/5/2014 11:20:05 PM] Janis: ...ok...my turn.

[2/5/2014 11:20:11 PM] Janis: I'm actually 15.

[2/5/2014 11:20:47 PM] *** Kali added Nilani ***

[2/5/2014 11:21:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis in a measured manner. ".....I am.... fairly incompetent at guessing ages."

[2/5/2014 11:21:29 PM | Edited 11:22:56 PM] Nilani: Nilani walks up, holding a basket and waving at you.

[2/5/2014 11:21:32 PM] Janis: When I first met you, I said I was 11.

[2/5/2014 11:21:35 PM] Janis: That was a lie.

[2/5/2014 11:21:55 PM] Janis: I didn't want you guys to know I wasn't human, so I couldn't give my real age.

[2/5/2014 11:22:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods and turns to Nilani. "Hi Nilani."

[2/5/2014 11:22:26 PM] Nilani: hi guys.

[2/5/2014 11:22:27 PM] Janis: Janis waves to Nilani "Hi Nilani."

[2/5/2014 11:22:45 PM] Janis: What are you doing?

[2/5/2014 11:24:19 PM] Nilani: Just 'checking on the forest'.

[2/5/2014 11:24:52 PM] Janis: ...ok then.

[2/5/2014 11:25:24 PM] Janis: I should go hunting while I'm here, now that it's spring and stuff.

[2/5/2014 11:25:33 PM] Janis: I'll see you guys later.

[2/5/2014 11:25:43 PM] Kali: It *is* spring! Glorious spring. Green sprouting up everywhere!

[2/5/2014 11:25:43 PM] Nilani: Look! Talas got us some more fruit, and some tea, and fish...

[2/5/2014 11:25:48 PM] Janis: ((Meaning, my internet is lagging and I need sleep))

[2/5/2014 11:25:54 PM] Nilani: Nilani holds out the basket.

[2/5/2014 11:26:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Nilani, hesitating. "Say... if.... you see Raven....... Well... actually, can I go with you?"

[2/5/2014 11:27:21 PM | Edited 11:27:41 PM] Nilani: sure. I'm not exactly planning on meeting him, but who knows? You can come along if you want. I just need to drop this off at the kitchen.

[2/5/2014 11:28:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks puzzled. "Do... you believe that Raven *tried* to keep you from moving?"

[2/5/2014 11:29:20 PM] Nilani: Nilani shrugs. "I'm not certain. He certainly didn't act like it."

[2/5/2014 11:30:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ...That was also my observation. I wish to speak to him again, but he may not want to be found by certain crewmembers who seem to think otherwise.

[2/5/2014 11:31:14 PM] Nilani: Indeed. I've got at least one question for him, too, but I guess it can wait.

[2/5/2014 11:31:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles.

[2/5/2014 11:31:48 PM] Nilani: ((I'm going to assume Janis grabbed the basket and ran off or something.))

[2/5/2014 11:32:04 PM] Kali: Fair enough!

[2/5/2014 11:34:33 PM] Nilani: Well, sitting here won't help us find our friend. Let's go... *pulls out compass and taps it, while looking back at the door*

[2/5/2014 11:35:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) follows Nilani. "We should come up with a plan for if it happens again, though... just in case."

[2/5/2014 11:35:18 PM] Kali: The door has a pile of wooden debris near it, with a couple of shattered trees.

[2/5/2014 11:37:27 PM] Nilani: Indeed. We should probably work to find something that will counter stronger enchantments, as well...

[2/5/2014 11:38:48 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods.

[2/5/2014 11:41:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Also, assuming he is truthful, perhaps we could try searching for a... cure.

[2/5/2014 11:42:17 PM] Nilani: For the fascination? I think I have something in mind...

[2/5/2014 11:42:36 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks interested.

[2/5/2014 11:45:10 PM] Nilani: Perhaps the effect is tied to the instrument, but not in the way we think. Perhaos the song itself and the pipes themselves are not inherently magical, but when the pipes play the song, the effect has a chance of occurring. Not just those pipes, either. It could be ANY set of pipes. Possibly any wind instrument, too.

[2/5/2014 11:46:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. "It could be some sort of magic alteration, with specific conditions to be met."

[2/5/2014 11:47:04 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods.

[2/5/2014 11:48:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) keeps an eye out as they travel ((are we traveling, haha?)) "....Do you... have a home you miss?"

[2/5/2014 11:49:06 PM] Nilani: Not one I could return to, even if we weren't bound to Nation.

[2/5/2014 11:49:50 PM | Edited 11:49:57 PM] Nilani: ((urgh, that sentence feels wrong somehow.))

[2/5/2014 11:50:02 PM] Kali: ((Hawt elf-on-ship bondage.))

[2/5/2014 11:50:14 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. ".....It was.... destroyed?"

[2/5/2014 11:50:30 PM] Nilani: Heh. No.

[2/5/2014 11:50:50 PM] Nilani: I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, though.

[2/5/2014 11:51:14 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks puzzled!

[2/5/2014 11:53:26 PM | Edited 11:54:05 PM] Nilani: I've already announced that I'm an infiltrator. Have you ever seen a th-*mumble* an INFILTRATORS' guild? A fully realized infiltrators' guild?

[2/5/2014 11:53:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ........No.

[12:01:42 AM] Nilani: ((blarg, I am having such a hard time explaining the extent of the mess I was in...))

[12:02:13 AM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) considers further. "........But you are a finder of lost things. Surely you could find this... home."

[12:05:57 AM] Nilani: If you're talking about finding another one, this place is certainly a good bet.

[12:06:01 AM] Nilani: If you're talking about finding my previous one, it's not that it's hidden, it's that if I went there, I'd die. Horribly. And then be raised. And then die again. Also horribly, but in a different fashion.

[12:06:32 AM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks saddened, and also horrified. "........For the incident involving the vampire.......?"

[12:06:59 AM] Nilani: Nilani nods grimly.

Indeed.

[12:07:16 AM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ...........A new home would be......... more fitting.

[12:09:27 AM | Edited 12:10:08 AM] Nilani: Amazingly so. I wouldn't mind seeing a few of my friends again, but it's been years. They've probably either died, retired, or decided that maybe it WAS my fault after all, if they had any doubts in the matter.

[12:11:16 AM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .....I wonder if Raven has a home he misses sorely. T'would explain.... why he tried to escape so many times.

[12:13:48 AM] Nilani: We need to find a way to break or at least lessen this curse as soon as possible.

[12:14:37 AM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods grimly.

[12:17:54 AM | Edited 12:18:08 AM] Nilani: Nilani looks back.

"Whoa, we're pretty far from the door."

[12:19:29 AM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks up at the 'sky'. "....And it is getting late. Thanks for... the company."

[12:21:01 AM] Nilani: Anytime.

Let's head back before it gets chilly.

[12:21:12 AM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods and turns back.

[12:21:25 AM] Kali: And there we stop, I think.
