Perpetual Gloom 004c

[4/19/2013 10:01:19 PM] Josie: You head out of the cave, and find Kalanor perched on a rock facing away from you. It sounds like he's crying. [4/19/2013 10:02:04 PM] Khiro: .. you okay? [4/19/2013 10:02:09 PM] Khiro: Well, of course you aren't. [4/19/2013 10:02:18 PM] Josie: He sits up and turns around, and then everybody turns up and we go back to the main room.

[4/19/2013 10:17:31 PM] Josie: Kalanor: ... I feel better. Not nicer, but better. [4/19/2013 10:18:34 PM] Khiro: Khiro nods. "Well, just one is better than neither." [4/19/2013 10:18:50 PM] Josie: He rubs his eyes. "Thanks for not pointing it out." [4/19/2013 10:19:39 PM] Khiro: Khiro shrugs. "It' know it's hard for you, but it's better that we all know the score." [4/19/2013 10:20:52 PM] Josie: Kalanor: I meant that I was... upset. And you're probably right. I just don't like... being like this. [4/19/2013 10:21:02 PM] Josie: Kalanor: It's going to be worse in town. [4/19/2013 10:21:31 PM] Khiro: Yeah. How are you going to to disguise us? [4/19/2013 10:22:53 PM] Josie: Kalanor: I have everything we need. Hats of disguise, eyedrops that'll let you see in the dark and rings that'll have you speaking Undercommon like a native. [4/19/2013 10:24:48 PM] Josie: Kalanor: All we have to do is find out who has her and get her back. [4/19/2013 10:26:59 PM] Khiro: Where do you think we should start? [4/19/2013 10:27:14 PM] Josie: Kalanor: I have a friend who'll help us out. [4/19/2013 10:27:47 PM] Khiro: You sure? Even given your circumstances? [4/19/2013 10:28:08 PM] Josie: Kalanor: Yeah. I'm owed a big favor. [4/19/2013 10:28:28 PM] Khiro: All right, then. [4/19/2013 10:28:53 PM] Khiro: Another drow, I take it? [4/19/2013 10:29:27 PM] Josie: Kalanor: Yes. Not from my House, either. So it's safe. I don't know what she'll say when she sees me. [4/19/2013 10:30:08 PM | Edited 10:30:14 PM] Khiro: Will she know it's you? [4/19/2013 10:30:25 PM] Josie: Kalanor: I'll have to explain it. [4/19/2013 10:31:05 PM] Josie: He looks at his hands. "... big, clumsy fingers. I hate this." [4/19/2013 10:31:53 PM] Khiro: Any ideas on how to change yourself back? [4/19/2013 10:33:23 PM] Josie: Kalanor: I'm going to need a mage. And a powerful one. [4/19/2013 10:35:12 PM] Josie: He sighs. "Do you want to take the first watch, or the second?" [4/19/2013 10:37:03 PM] Khiro: Up to you. I wouldn't mind resting. [4/19/2013 10:37:40 PM] Josie: Kalanor: All right. [4/19/2013 10:39:15 PM] Khiro: Still not feeling 100% after the mushroom thing. [4/19/2013 10:39:23 PM] Josie: Kalanor: It looked pretty bad. [4/19/2013 10:39:39 PM] Josie: Kalanor: ... do you mind if I... [4/19/2013 10:39:48 PM] Khiro: If you what? [4/19/2013 10:40:48 PM] Josie: Kalanor: I don't want to make you uncomfortable, but it's been a long, shitty day. [4/19/2013 10:41:11 PM] Khiro: Well, ask me what you're going to ask me. [4/19/2013 10:42:10 PM] Josie: Kalanor: It was probably a stupid question anyway. [4/19/2013 10:42:19 PM] Khiro: Just ask me already. [4/19/2013 10:44:26 PM] Josie: Kalanor: ... I just wanted a hug, okay? Nevermind, it's not important. [4/19/2013 10:44:59 PM] Khiro: Khiro hugs Kalanor! [4/19/2013 10:46:41 PM] Josie: He hugs him back. It takes a while for him to relax, but he does, after a while. [4/19/2013 10:47:08 PM] Khiro: If it helps, I've wanted to punch Jamaros since I've met him. [4/19/2013 10:49:44 PM] Josie: Kalanor: He's helping, though. You're all helping. I'm just... I'm so worried about her, and I'm trying not to be so damned selfish. [4/19/2013 10:51:50 PM] Khiro: You're doing fine. Just continue to hold it togther and we'll find her. [4/19/2013 10:52:32 PM] Josie: Kalanor: Right. ... thanks. [4/19/2013 10:54:14 PM] Khiro: Khiro nods. [4/19/2013 10:54:30 PM] Josie: Kalanor: All right, let's go back in. You rest first. [4/19/2013 10:54:38 PM] Khiro: Khiro nods.

[4/19/2013 11:16:27 PM] Josie: While you're behind there, Kalanor inspects the tattoos with a critical eye. [4/19/2013 11:16:52 PM] Josie: ((Do any include words?)) [4/19/2013 11:17:24 PM] Khiro: Nope. They're all symbols. Not sure what they all mean! [4/19/2013 11:18:29 PM] Josie: All right. Kalanor nods approvingly, clips something into your hair, and whispers, "Ornament of Disguise. But the pants need to come off too for now, I'll fix the bottom, you won't know how to wrap it." [4/19/2013 11:19:01 PM] Khiro: Khiro eyes Kal, and takes em off! [4/19/2013 11:19:40 PM] Josie: He looks, but from the distracted air about him, it's not curiosity so much as "are there any tattoos I have to worry about here?" [4/19/2013 11:20:04 PM] Khiro: Nah, his tattoos are on his upper body. [4/19/2013 11:20:17 PM] Josie: Then he wraps some of the brightly colored cloth around Khiro's waist, folding it and tying it so that it won't slip off. [4/19/2013 11:20:32 PM] Khiro: So, what's my cover? [4/19/2013 11:21:09 PM] Josie: Kalanor: You're from out of town. [4/19/2013 11:21:34 PM] Khiro: Khiro nods. "I can work with that." [4/19/2013 11:22:15 PM] Josie: Kalanor: You should be able to change the color of your skin with the hairpiece, so go ahead and do that. We have white hair usually, but there's a pretty wide range of eye color, so you can keep your own. [4/19/2013 11:22:38 PM] Khiro: Khiro nods, and changes his skin and hair color! He's familiar with illusion magic, so. [4/19/2013 11:24:07 PM] Josie: (It *is* comfortable, especially given the heat.)
