[2/16/2014 7:26:31 PM] Holly: Lira and Val head up to the Observation Deck. I forget what it's looking out onto at the moment, though.

[2/16/2014 7:26:54 PM] Murk: ((It's just the void again.))

[2/16/2014 7:27:00 PM | Edited 7:27:08 PM] Lira: Lira, gesturing to the glass. "Pretty cool view, huh?"

[2/16/2014 7:28:02 PM] Holly: Val peers out. "... wow, that *is* pretty impressive."

[2/16/2014 7:28:18 PM] Lira: Lira grins. "Told you."

[2/16/2014 7:28:23 PM] *** Holly added Nilani ***

[2/16/2014 7:29:06 PM] Holly: Val: So we're... where are we?

[2/16/2014 7:29:41 PM] Lira: In the void. ((Should I do a K: Planes check?))

[2/16/2014 7:30:34 PM] Holly: Nah, you're good.

[2/16/2014 7:31:13 PM] Holly: Val: Well, it's beautiful.

[2/16/2014 7:31:20 PM] Holly: He stares out at it, wide-eyed.

[2/16/2014 7:31:31 PM | Edited 7:31:40 PM] Nilani: Nilani walks up the stairs. She finds a spot opposite the stairwell and sits on the floor, with her back against the wall, and silently stares into the void.

[2/16/2014 7:32:47 PM | Edited 7:32:54 PM] Lira: Lira waves hi at Nilani and silently looks out the void herself. "By the way, I don't know if you were warned, but when the ship jumps to another plane, there's a chance you'll have... a sort of waking nightmare. It... may be quite extreneous."

[2/16/2014 7:33:38 PM | Edited 7:34:01 PM] Nilani: Nilani waves back at Lira and resumes watching whatever's out there, which seems to be a great deal of nothing.

[2/16/2014 7:34:18 PM] Holly: Val: Strenuous how?

[2/16/2014 7:34:25 PM] Holly: Val waves at Nilani too.

[2/16/2014 7:34:52 PM] Nilani: Nilani also waves at Val.

[2/16/2014 7:35:24 PM] Lira: ....For me, it was... every possibility of a terrible memory, seeing them.... in every horrible way....

[2/16/2014 7:36:46 PM] Lira: It is difficult to explain.

[2/16/2014 7:36:54 PM] Holly: Val: Exes?

[2/16/2014 7:37:04 PM] Lira: Ex... what?

[2/16/2014 7:37:13 PM] Holly: Val: Boyfriends. Or girlfriends.

[2/16/2014 7:37:33 PM] Lira: No.... I... I never

[2/16/2014 7:37:52 PM] Lira: Well... you see, I was... patrol. We couldn't.

[2/16/2014 7:38:30 PM] Holly: Val eyes her doubtfully.

[2/16/2014 7:38:44 PM] Holly: Val: That sounds pretty odd. How would they know?

[2/16/2014 7:39:02 PM] Lira: Lira shrugs. "Maybe it was just my supervisor. I may never know."

[2/16/2014 7:40:45 PM] Holly: Val: Still strange.

[2/16/2014 7:41:14 PM] Lira: Lira grins. "Pretty sure strange is a matter of perspective."

[2/16/2014 7:42:54 PM] Holly: Val: You're what, a hundred and thirty? A hundred and twenty at least? Assuming you *are* a fullblooded elf.

[2/16/2014 7:43:52 PM] Lira: ....Something like a hundred and thirty, yes. Also keep in mind that your flavor of flirting would never have been tolerated...

[2/16/2014 7:45:07 PM] Holly: Val: Yeah, you people like your severed reproductive organs better.

[2/16/2014 7:45:16 PM] Holly: Val: ... does that work with animals too, or is it just plants?

[2/16/2014 7:45:27 PM] Lira: Just plants.

[2/16/2014 7:46:20 PM] Holly: Val: Good. Otherwise it would be pretty messy.

[2/16/2014 7:46:45 PM] Lira: Lira nods. "Something else you might consider is something for her to eat. No poison."

[2/16/2014 7:47:15 PM] Holly: Val: ... what's the point without poison?

[2/16/2014 7:47:46 PM] Lira: The taste, or the gesture. Or sometimes, just so that they can subsist on it.

[2/16/2014 7:48:35 PM] Holly: Val: There's no excitement in that.

[2/16/2014 7:49:05 PM] Lira: Lira sighs. "Was the giant animal with a horn exciting to you?"

[2/16/2014 7:49:18 PM] Holly: Val: Not like *that*.

[2/16/2014 7:49:34 PM] Lira: ...I do not understand how that is different.

[2/16/2014 7:49:47 PM] Lira: Poison will kill just as surely.

[2/16/2014 7:49:56 PM] Holly: Val: I'm not into *animals.* That's creepy.

[2/16/2014 7:50:11 PM] Lira: ....Oh.

[2/16/2014 7:50:39 PM | Edited 7:50:48 PM] Nilani: Not all poison is made to kill. Remember the drider?

[2/16/2014 7:51:13 PM] Lira: That's true, I suppose. I do wonder just what the drider was trying to accomplish.

[2/16/2014 7:51:47 PM] Holly: Val: You had a drider here?

[2/16/2014 7:51:54 PM] Nilani: Had.

[2/16/2014 7:53:04 PM] Lira: Yep.

[2/16/2014 7:53:49 PM] Holly: Val: What'd he say?

[2/16/2014 7:54:43 PM | Edited 7:55:20 PM] Nilani: Nothing. He was fond of shooting at people from dark corners, and misleading people with disturbing illusions, though.

[2/16/2014 7:55:56 PM] Holly: Val: Oh. In a bad way, I'm assuming.

[2/16/2014 7:56:08 PM] Lira: Yes. Is not all violence... bad?

[2/16/2014 8:00:01 PM] Holly: Val: ... uh, no.

[2/16/2014 8:00:38 PM] Lira: ....So nonlethal violence is okay?

[2/16/2014 8:03:22 PM] Holly: Val: Well, it depends on the situation, really.

[2/16/2014 8:03:33 PM] Lira: Lira nods.

[2/16/2014 8:03:41 PM] Holly: Val: Sometimes it can be a come-on; sometimes it's just sticking up for yourself against your family or a political body.

[2/16/2014 8:04:51 PM] Lira: Lira frowns. "I detest political violence."

[2/16/2014 8:06:27 PM] Holly: Val: Well, sometimes you can't let them tell you what to do. Or they'll arrange your spouse for you along with all the rest of your life.

[2/16/2014 8:06:37 PM] Lira: ....They do?

[2/16/2014 8:06:51 PM] Holly: Val: Of course they do. If you're part of a First Family, anyway.

[2/16/2014 8:07:23 PM] Lira: ....Well, good thing you got out of that, then.

[2/16/2014 8:09:27 PM] Holly: Val: Very much so.

[2/16/2014 8:10:09 PM] Lira: Hm, this reminds me. Nation, we haven't heard anything from you... are you alright?

[2/16/2014 8:10:25 PM] Holly: ... there's no answer.

[2/16/2014 8:10:34 PM] Lira: Lira is clearly alarmed!

[2/16/2014 8:11:00 PM] Lira: Lira rushes back to where the group used to be!

[2/16/2014 8:12:29 PM] Nilani: Nilani gets up and follows her.

[2/16/2014 8:28:36 PM] Lira: ((Do we make it okay?))

[2/16/2014 8:28:52 PM] Holly: Yep, show up any time.
