[17:01] * DarthTom (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496685.sympatico.ca) has joined #pvpexalted [17:02] Yo [17:02] yo [17:03] what do you mean about 'wee hours' ? [17:04] after midnight the numbers become single didgets, so they are wee hours :) [17:04] ..I see [17:04] translation :I will not be gaming tonight [17:04] ah [17:04] Work at 10, 9 am wakeup [17:04] ah [17:04] suckage [17:05] werent you getting better hours? [17:05] starting next week [17:05] and even then, noon starting time [17:06] * GoldenH sees [17:06] welp there's not much I can do [17:06] if you're still around when I get back you get the 5 xp [17:06] I know [17:07] and probably a lot more.. i need maris' and tabius' xp counts to be sure [17:07] but it looks like i'll be giving you 20 xp [17:07] heh [17:07] sweeeet [17:07] tei will get 70 xp [17:08] but you'll still have 20 more than him total.... [17:10] that's some major XP discrepancy [17:10] seriously, IU think the downtime XP was excessive *g* [17:11] heh [17:11] * GoldenH supposes so [17:12] * GoldenH wants to move to theiferia [17:12] i mean, we ended up gettign about 2 month's worth of XP in 2 weeks [17:13] well... 20 hours is a lot of RP!

[17:26] apparently it's a "psycotic dictatorship" now [17:26] Still no answer about my problem. I'm going to go watch Bebop. [17:27] heh [17:50] * TomAway is now known as DarthTom [17:51] * Jay1492 (Jay1492@211.107.145.20) has joined #pvpexalted [18:12] just about to go [18:12] I see. [18:13] have fun dude [18:13] maybe I'll be here when you return, maybe I won't [18:13] * GoldenH nods sagely [18:13] * GoldenH doesn't know if he'll have fun but that's life [18:14] yah [18:14] * DarthTom will go play some GTA [18:14] cool [18:14] * DarthTom is now known as Darth|GTA [18:15] Me want watch Cowboy Bebop...

See you in a few mintues. * Jydan has quit IRC (Quit: I've known all too well about pretending to be strong. But since then, my doubts have vanished.) * Darth|GTA is now known as DarthTom [19:53] * Jydan (Jydan@dia-222.vaix.net) has joined #pvpexalted * InvincibleFiat has joined #pvpexalted Hey Fiat. 'ello, Jy. 'ello, all. yo [20:01] Not much to be logging, is there? [20:02] Not at all. [20:02] Right. [20:02] * InvincibleFiat sits in semisilence. [20:04] ayup [20:04] doubt folks are gonna show [20:04] on the plus side...2 more xp for us [20:04] * DarthTom blows on one opf those curly party noise-makers [20:05] Heh. [20:05] * Maris (bjorndabas@user-v8ldv57.dsl.mindspring.com) has joined #pvpexalted [20:05] Yo M [20:05] Eh, here's another one of the merry band. [20:05] 'ello, Maris. [20:05] 2 xp for you, lad [20:05] hey [20:06] And I have a lot of people over so I'll be setntient around 7 i think [20:06] Meh, don't worry, my brain is cragged from le travail [20:06] *scragged [20:07] Is whatever the hell this DB game is called. Everyone is supposed to have brain scragged somehow. [20:09] okay, so for this duel you've got planned with Sanyet... [20:10] are we going through with the whole PPV experience ? [20:10] That's if he challenges me. [20:10] And probably so. [20:11] http://www.wwe.com/ppv/calendar/ [20:12] February 23, baybee ! [20:12] * Hikari (Hikari@zaqd378a4e1.zaq.ne.jp) has joined #pvpexalted [20:12] Good morning. [20:12] 'ello, Hik. [20:12] * DarthTom cues up Harlem Heat's theme [20:12] I see GH made it. [20:12] not really [20:12] he's at the party, jsut logging [20:12] Ah. [20:13] here's hoping Rob comes through with the tickets... [20:13] otherwise, I go tot *The source* bum bum bum [20:13] * InvincibleFiat hopes so too. Ticketmaster is not your friend. The source ain't ticketmaster the source is a contact of my dad's i.e.: a high-end scalper *g* Ahhhhh...... Depending on the seats, they shouldn't be too hard to get. we're trying for frotn row 8g* * InvincibleFiat 's brian does hurt about the Wrestlemania ticket prices. $400 for front row. ...legit or scalped ? Hi Hik. Going to bring that "TWO!" sign to put up on screen? Legit, IIRC. Fiat:we're ALL gonna brign 'two!' sings err signs all, like...5 of us Distribute them beforehand to people in the parking lot. LOL [20:16] * InvincibleFiat wants to see an entire side of the arena erupt into TWO! signs on near-falls. [20:16] that would be GREAT [20:18] Let me gaze into my crystal ball and see what is in store for you... [20:18] * Maris sighs and tries to understand what horrors were unleashed upon him [20:19] Signs point to Benoit/Angle. Lesnar/Angle has always been hyped for Wrestlemania. [20:19] Breeding? :) [20:19] I don't think so, at least not yet. [20:19] Just 'the rack' then? [20:19] Benoit angle would be INCREDIBLE ! [20:19] That's probably what they want from him, along with a promise not to attack them and such, though. [20:20] * Maris isn't sure [20:20] The title scene for Smackdown seems to be Benoit/Lesnar going after Team Angle (Angle(belt), Benjamin, Haas, Big Show). [20:20] * Maris wants to carve a few up with his agg swords [20:21] From what GH has said, it's more a "Yeah. You caught the barbarian king. After people trow fruit at him, drop him back in the woods." [20:21] Yes, please escape and kill a lot of innocents. You are worthles for my diplomacy while in captivity. [20:21] * Maris smirks [20:22] I'm sorry, but I find this line form Test's profile on the website hysterical : [20:22] "Recently, Test has hired Stacy Keibler as his marketing representative. She has done wonders for his career thus far, including creating Test's Testicles. [20:22] " [20:22] * Maris doesn't understand where everyone got the idea to think when maris isn't around. He will have to work on that more. [20:22] Can we just leave him in the cage? [20:23] * Maris smirks [20:23] Maris :Well, if it weren't for your good buddy and the guy in charge of the many people with many weapons thinking...you'd still be rotting in the cage [20:23] I would prefer him in a cage, or at least on a chopping block. But my diplomacy suffer without a good threat to back it up with. [20:23] rather [20:23] He IS still rotting in the cage. [20:23] the guy with many people with many weapons...and a WARSTRIDER [20:23] don't piss off a guy in a 15-foot suit of armor *g* [20:24] Cicada's likely to be the one to get him out of it, too. [20:24] (GH gave the bull the keys to the china shop there) [20:24] Who just walked into the mouth of the shark all on his own, thus eliminating the threat of the barbarian army as a bargaining chip in a certain young woman's diplomacy as well... [20:24] * Maris is pretty sure he can get out of whatever they throw at him. [20:24] * InvincibleFiat shrugs. [20:25] Again, from what GH has said, they don't think the barbarians are threats at all. [20:25] ... [20:25] It's true that they could likely smash the whole thing with very few casualties. [20:25] Hmmmmm, maybe I should have Vanal rumble a bit to prove them wrong? ;) [20:25] and once again, folks underestimate how devious Vanal can be *g* [20:25] (as if I could STOP him from rumbling...) [20:25] jsut because he DOESN'T scheme doesn't mean he CAN'T [20:26] What the threat comes from is that they cannot afford to have their troops diverted from the front. [20:26] Indeed. (Fiat) [20:26] We die, they die, happy demon. Is that simple. [20:26] Meanwhile, why bother threatening them? [20:26] So we ally, kick the demon's ass, and knife the solars in the back [20:26] wham [20:26] bam [20:26] thank you ma'am [20:26] Ransom is a time-honored tradition. [20:26] We have hordes of useful things theyd be interested in. [20:27] ...like ? [20:27] * Thanos (~web-Guest@cm205.221.120.24.lvcm.com) has joined #pvpexalted [20:27] Even if GH does not show, then I have private meetings i would like to play with Jynaru, Vanal, and Tabius. Maybe even Tei would like a moment of my time? [20:27] well, if that's the case, let's rhumba [20:27] * InvincibleFiat 's sure Maris would take one, or two, or up to more women for the team, yes? [20:27] .... play.. [20:27] ? [20:27] Hello, Thanos. [20:27] * DarthTom air guitars to powerman 5000 [20:27] 'ello, Thanos. [20:27] *bows* [20:27] yo than [20:28] Whaaaatzzzzz Upppppp> [20:28] ... [20:28] * DarthTom smashes Thanos through a table [20:28] * InvincibleFiat ponders. [20:28] there are but two men alive who can say that [20:28] and you aren't one of them [20:28] Wait... are the Cathak Boys exploding? [20:28] Huh ? [20:29] * DarthTom is now known as Vanal [20:29] I guess that makes him D-von. [20:29] * Vanal picks up the mic [20:29] If noone wants to spy on the meetings, then I suppose they could be done in private chat as to not waste time in the main room. [20:29] This sunday, Montreal, the Bell Centre ! [20:29] You, me...a STEEL CAGE MATCH ! [20:29] Jynaru and Cicada shouting at each other took quite a bit of time last week... [20:29] *NO* DQS [20:29] Quite a bit? [20:29] * Vanal is now known as DarthTom [20:29] That was all that occured. [20:29] All of the time, then? [20:30] Naw, there was the revelations of our various goodies [20:30] and Van accidentally dissing her Royal Pain [20:30] * InvincibleFiat is clearly the king-uh of promo-uh cutting-uh. [20:30] Fiat, your promos are so DULL, so UNENTERTAINING... [20:31] The king of the WORLD msut step in to save your sorry ass from being heckled by the thousands of ASSCLOWNS here [20:31] So would you PLEASE [20:31] SHUT [20:31] THE HELL [20:31] UP ! [20:31] * InvincibleFiat almost would have preferred that actually occured. [20:32] What ?Calling her The queen Bee ? [20:32] * Thanos looks around confused. [20:32] Than :sorry, we were channeling pro wrestlers [20:32] first me as one of the dudley boys, the fiat as HH, then me as Y2J [20:33] * InvincibleFiat 'd channel Booker T, but he works best as a delayed catchphrase guy. [20:33] I dunno I mean he *is* the 5 time ! [20:33] 5 time ! [20:33] 5 time ! [20:33] 5 time ! [20:33] 5 time ! [20:33] WCW champion [20:34] Now can you dig that? [20:34] I liked Hogan and the ultimate warrior, then not much till Sid Justice, but he had RL back problems :-P [20:34] *hour later, leaps out of the shadows and screams SUCKAAAA* [20:34] (booker T) "Christian, shut yo mothert flippin' sucka-ass mouth !" [20:34] so GH might not be here today? [20:34] (Christian) "Now...I don't know what you jsut said...but I'll take it as an insult" [20:34] He'll be here. He'll be late. [20:35] ah [20:35] Have you seen the Ultimate Warrior's website, Thanos? [20:35] or lordy...not the warrior [20:35] *oh [20:35] he's almost as bad as Hogan [20:35] DESTRUCITY! [20:35] No I have not, lost interest in wrestling about the time I got interested in girls. [20:35] Hehg [20:36] that's around the time I started WATCHING wrestling [20:36] * InvincibleFiat shrugs. You should check it out for the train-wreck the guy has become. [20:36] His name is legally Ultimate Warrior now. [20:36] ...... [20:36] Tabernac [20:36] He had a short-lived comic book series based on him and his "Path of the Warrior" that bombed. He has gone quite insane. didn't he torture Santa in that one ? That's the famous one, brought to us by Wrestlecrap. But it was a series, not just the one issue where he puts Santa in bondage gear. ... http://www.wrestlecrap.com/warriorcomic.html * Maris sighs eh that's right...wrestlecrap si back online [20:40] I've got too many people downstairs. I'm gonna catch yall later. Have a good time. [20:40] * Maris (bjorndabas@user-v8ldv57.dsl.mindspring.com) Quit (Quit: ) [20:40] YARGH!!! NoooooOOOOOOooooo! [20:41] * InvincibleFiat ponders how long it would take to find Maris's phone number, call him up, and get him back here... [20:42] * DarthTom tries to decode the comic book's lingo [20:43] Nooooo! That way lies madness! [20:44] ... [20:44] * DarthTom blinks [20:44] this isn't a coherent language [20:44] this isn't even a language [20:44] it's...gibberish [20:44] * InvincibleFiat waits for the blood to ooze out of DT's ears. [20:45] * DarthTom gives up [20:45] Someone gave Warrior a thesaurus and he has turned it to evil purposes. [20:45] #op [20:45] * ChanServ sets mode: +o DarthTom [20:45] "Destrucity: In its design, Destrucity represents a constellation existing in the heavens which symbolizes the "Eight Disciplines" by which Warriors choose to live their lives. Brought to existence by the destinies of those willing to die for their Beliefs, brought to exist as a place where people live by Belief in the evolution of their Higher Selves -- constantly evolving toward a completion of their chosen destiny -- all with st [20:46] It's clearly English... [20:46] Just assembled in a fashion as to make little sense. [20:46] fuck it [20:46] anyways, Hik, what were you saying before Fiat and I marked out ? [20:47] * InvincibleFiat is clearly the key to any successful taking over of the channel. [20:47] * InvincibleFiat , in his generosity, will allow you to bow before my august personage, lest I unleash the smite of hot air upon thee. [20:53] Hrmmm... smiteless. [20:53] Does that mean that if we don't bow to you that you will fart on us? [20:54] Sorry, I was out buying lunch. [20:54] I was saying that I have a few private meetings that I would like to do. [20:54] Nah. I'll just talk about nothing for hours or until the brains ooze from your ears. [20:55] Cic - Jyn, need to get a few things set straight. [20:55] * InvincibleFiat ponders buying up dodge for this "set straight". [20:55] Ah, OK [20:55] Cic - Van, needs to have a litle talk about what to do with their respective resources and how to best combine them. [20:56] Cic, Tabius, somebody needs a chance to say something to his faithful brthroed. *cough* [20:57] Those are the ones I can come up with right now. [20:57] I suppose they could be made in private chat to save time in the main room. Unless there are people wishing to spy. [20:58] Might as well do it in private chat. Keeps the logs simpler and less need for editing. [20:58] Hehehe, dreams are wonderful thinks are they not? [20:58] Yep, just one of us log with timestamp. [20:59] Ah yes, the Tab = Cic thing could very well be done in dream. [20:59] :-) [20:59] Which is the main reason in fact that I chose that particular tricksy. [21:00] Sounds good to me [21:00] So does anyone else have things they want done? the problem with private chat is, well...no one else cna interject if need be *g* sometimes thats good DT It would be kind of evile just to leave Maris here. Even though it might be a good simulation of his exciting life in a Solar dungeon. If one of them turns into a scuffle or whatver and it's hearable, it can be moved to the main room, I guess. Should we have a seperate 'main room'? GH said that it would be best to do the IC "What I did over the winter" roundtable in the plaza where maris is. We'd be allowed privacy if we asked it. A seperate main room would work as well, I suppose. already at pvpexaltedrp * GoldenH|Logging has quit IRC (Ping timeout) uh oh.... There goes the central log... he's been doing that all night don't worry Auot rejoin? (auto) Yeah. * GoldenH|Logging has joined #pvpexalted [21:04] * Hikari cheers. [21:04] Oh, Maris left? [21:04] Yeah. He had people over. [21:04] Okay, less need to feel bad about that then. [21:05] So, how about we do the game here and ooc in exaltedrp, just to keep GH logging? [21:06] sounds good [21:06] * Thanos is now known as Tabius [21:06] Okay. [21:06] * Hikari leaps into a phonebooth. [21:06] * Hikari is now known as Cicada [21:06] * InvincibleFiat is now known as Jynaru [21:07] * manxcat (manxcat@wv-mltn-ubr-c-024-159-089-167.charterwv.net) has joined #pvpexalted [21:07] Hello, Manx. [21:07] 'ello, manx. [21:07] hey [21:08] yo [21:08] * DarthTom is now known as Vanal [21:08] You know that GH will be late, right Manx? [21:08] yeah [21:08] * manxcat is now known as TEi [21:08] * TEi is now known as Tei [21:09] I have suggested a few private chats that might help us decide our further actions, and we use this room for common playing, and exlatedrp for occ. [21:10] Would Tei want to meet Cicada or some of the others? [21:10] * Tabius (~web-Guest@cm205.221.120.24.lvcm.com) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:10] he would'nt have problems with it, but they'd have to come find him [21:10] Actually, who wants to talk things over with who. A beeeeg main room discussion might work if everyone has got something. [21:10] * Tabius (~web-Guest@cm205.221.120.24.lvcm.com) has joined #pvpexalted [21:11] Gh has been shooting for a main room discussion eventually, and since he's logging, we could still work it. [21:11] sounds cool...and brb [21:12] * Jynaru 's going to assume the arguement between Cic+San/Jyn didn't take the time it took to RP, and that there's time to hit the place where they're going to be showing Maris. [21:13] * Werlynn (~Werlynn@ool-182dcd08.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #pvpexalted [21:14] btw, did everyone get my mail to the newsgroup? [21:14] Hello, Werlynn. [21:14] back [21:14] and yup [21:14] yeah [21:14] Reading it now. [21:14] Got it, haven't read yet [21:14] * Werlynn is now known as Tala [21:15] It managed to get kind of long, sorry. [21:15] 'ello, Wer. [21:15] Long? [21:15] * Jynaru shrugs. It ws fairly concise. A lot occured. [21:16] A very lot has occurred, putting it even into a long journal entry is a feat of wit. [21:16] Will somebody explain todays plan to Werlynn? Or must I do it again? [21:16] bah, lots of info, you kept it quick, it be good [21:16] * Cicada is hopelessly keyboard lazy. :) [21:17] * Jynaru laughs. [21:17] Essentially, private convos to be held in this room so GH has the log. [21:17] In the opposite of normal, OOC chat is in #pvpexaltedrp. [21:18] okay, folks...we ready ? [21:18] Sorry, was playing No One Lives Forever 2. I thought the chapter "Endgame" was an accurate description but apparently I was wrong. [21:18] If you've got one you'd like to do, now is the time to speak up, and also pondering starting the overall cat before GH gets here. [21:19] Chat, even. [21:20] * Cicada has convos with Jynaru, Vanal, and Tabius on her wishlist. Tei might want to say something to her too. [21:20] (Tei and Cic have been all too much strangers lately. :) [21:21] Tei will be most intirested in listening to everyone he can get close too. but he really won't have a lot to say. [21:21] (well, let's get this popsicle stand moving) [21:21] (who wants to start?) [21:22] * Vanal takes a drag off his cigarette and scowls "Let's get this over with, little girl." [21:22] (should I try to do three seperate convos at once? :) [21:23] "Vanal, can I ask you not to smoke around me, please?" [21:23] "You never minded before we got trapped on this rock." [21:23] "I never thought to ask." [21:23] "Uh-huh..." [21:24] * Vanal blows a puff of smoke in her face and grind sit out [21:24] "Happy ?" [21:24] "Or was in much of a position to do so..." * Cicada coughs lightly. "Yes, a little." "Okay then, you wanted to talk ?Let's talk." "Some entrance you made in the city today." "Yeah. A real beaut, ain't she ?" "I hope you have at least some backup plans in case the ruler is displeased and decides to do something about you not having a letter of safe passage as I have." "Yes, the strider is quite magnificient. Been a while since I last saw one this close." "Well, I've got an army outside the city. If I don't report in within 48 hours, they make like the Legions." * GoldenH|Logging has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [ok that isn't good] Wait till he logs back on? * GoldenH|Logging has joined #pvpexalted [21:27] "Good, I will just trust that you have something neat planned. You and Maris are only worth something to us alive." [21:28] "I'm not some political apointee bitch of a talonlord, I went through the Hosue of Bells, I know my fair share of sneaky tricks for cases like this." [21:28] "I know little of the speed of city armies, but the north is a battleground of small demon and city armies. [21:28] * Vanal nods [21:29] "Good to hear it. There might be hope for us yet." [21:29] * Cicada smiles. [21:29] Anyway, I want you to be very careful. You might as well have walked your entire force into an easily envelopable situation." [21:30] "I know the risks I take, I also know there's another House of Bells grad I left back there in command. " [21:30] "And while you will likely be safe within the city. The rulers might just decide to erase one of their problems as you march back. ESPECIALLY if Maris is with you." [21:31] "Well then, we jsut need to make ourselves indispensable." [21:31] We've got 15,000 men sitting out there. Barbarian or not, that's nothing to sneer at." [21:31] "I hope I can do that. But I need the threat of you as a bargaining chip with the Solars." [21:31] "So don't go and get killed." [21:32] "Oh please...there's no fuckign way I'm dying on this rock." [21:32] "Good to hear it." [21:32] * Vanal sips his water [21:32] "I will just have to get you off it then." (smiles jokingly) [21:33] "Trust me, I'd like nothing more to be sailing home. I've got a promise to keep with Bloom." [21:33] * Tala sits still, just listening, while processing all these revelations - citys ruled by anathema, the motives of some of her former comrades being uncertain, powerful demons [21:33] "Anyway, can you tell me your latest dispositions of forces? Just in case I need them." [21:33] "I've got about 3 legions worth." [21:33] "Any recon you have on city and demon forces would be good too." [21:34] "Mainly infantry, armed with spears, slings and bows" [21:34] "The commanders have the good armor, the swords, and the shields." [21:34] "Trained in Imperial Legion tactics." [21:35] "Along with soem of my own...personal tricks." [21:35] "Very good. I need as many cards in my sleeves as possible, you see." [21:35] * Vanal locks eyes with her, giving Cic an icy glare "Remember this, if you sell us out, your life span will be measured in milliseconds." [21:36] "As if you needed to tell me. Anything you wish to ask me?" [21:36] "What kind of pull do you have with these people ?" [21:37] "A few threats to disturb their plans for the spring offensive. It seems like it is going to be the biggest in a decade. And the words and backing of much of the rural population and a few of their general staff." [21:38] "I hope it is enough. Otherwise I hope that it is only my life that will be lost." [21:39] "Mobilizing their forces against big, dark, and slimy, eh ?" [21:39] "Yes." [21:39] "I was hoping that some sort of alliance between us and them could be established." [21:40] "...you want me to ally with *anathema* ?" [21:40] "After all, it is Fallen Tounge, not the Solars, who are keeping us here." [21:40] "No, I want you to fight a Malfean. I will be the one who puts my soul at risk." [21:41] "...I should have just stayed in goddamned Juche." [21:41] "Fien, whatever...I jsut want to get the hell off this rock." [21:42] "I guess you all do. I guess you have things that need your attention?" [21:42] "A few." [21:42] * Cicada stands up and nods to Vanal. "I will be on my way then." [21:43] * Vanal nods "May the dragons have mercy on us all." [21:43] * Cicada just nods and turns to leave. [21:44] * Tala looks at Vanal "There must be some other way." [21:44] [I suppose that was the Van - Cic talk?] [21:44] [yah] [21:45] [Ah, Tala has lines] [21:45] "I don't have the forces to take on the Anathema AND the Demon" [21:45] "Hell, I don't have the forces to take on ONE." [21:46] "We should allow them to fight eachother then." [21:47] "If we join with the Anathema and tip the scales too far in their favor they will come out stronger at the end while your forces will be weaker from battling for them." [21:47] "How long have they been fighbting for, Tala ? A long bloody time. Meanwhile, Bloom and his mates are running roughshod through the Realm." [21:47] "And like hell I'm lettign them use my guys as shock troops." "My frist priority is to get out of here, and stop the threat to my home." "and once we get off here, we alert the order and the legions, and the fleet." "I still do not like the idea of this... place... Knowing of the existance of such a place will gnaw at my soul if we return to the Blessed Isle and leave them." "Especially since we must free them in order to free ourselves." "That's why we raise the ALARM, my dear immaculate." "Pitting them against each other isn't going to work, they're too evenly matched." "What if they decide, once the demon is no longer a problem, and the 'prison' so to speak is open, that they want to go and see what is going on in the rest of Creation ?" [21:51] "Then they go out, find out we're in charge, and ge ttheir asses kicked by our numerically superior forces." [21:52] "Look Tala, I can't afford to be weighed down by 'what ifs'. I made a committment to defend the realm from its threats, and there's is a BLOODY BIG ONE sailing around in a ship from the fire fleet that damn near no one knows about." [21:52] * Tei nods grimly thinking his own thoughts [21:53] "If that means making a deal with anathema for the greator good down the line, I'll take that risk." [21:53] "Or the go to the Threshold first... perhaps join up with the ice barbarian, that 'Bull of the North?' As I recall the Tepet [21:53] 's thought they stood a good chance there as well." [21:53] "Oh for the lvoe of Sextes...WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO DO TALA ?!" [21:54] "I made what I tihnk is the best decision from a set of shitty choices, and I'm going to live with it...so LAY the HELL *OFF* !" [21:55] "I'm *tired* of beign second-guessed by people who've enver led a military unit in their life, and who think they know what's best. Life is not black and white, Tala...sometimes you have to deal with the lesser of two evils." [21:57] * Vanal stands up "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to check on my men." [21:57] "fine." [21:58] * Vanal stomps off, faitn trails of smoke rising from his shoulders as he heads for the talon commander he brought with him [21:58] "I have to get out of this place anyway. The feeling in my soul... it is like two pieces of rusty steel scraping together." [21:58] * Tala leaves the building and seeks an exit from the city. [21:59] "Well so far this is meeting has went better than expected." [22:01] [Who is next?] [22:02] (I suppose we'll get this one done, so Cic-Tabs can reference this one if necessary.) [22:03] [Cic - Jyn?] [22:03] (Yeah. Unless Cic-Tei is ready?) [22:07] [Tei has something? Cicada and sanyet would be easy to intercept as they leave the hall] [22:07] (I didn't know, which was why I asked. Tei, you there?) [22:08] [I don't have a whole lot of anything, tei is still largely out of the loop] [22:08] [I can be talked too, but don't expect a lot of concrete answers] [22:09] [Cicada can run across him on the way out? Or maybe one of the other chars bump into him? Just in case you are getting too much Cicada here.] [22:10] [I would not mind other chars being active.] [22:10] [he'd actually love to talk to both cicada and jynaru, in any order you choose] [22:10] [or both at once, whatever] [We could meet on the way or something. Cic will want Jyn alone later in the night, however. And having Cic around might keep Jyn from ripping Tei to pieces] (That makes sense, yes.) [tei will likely be somewhere public meditating] (Deadly wrath of Jyn likely not to be effective, but our fearless leader Cic here I imagine would prefer it not happen at all.) {Cic could be dragging Jyn along when she and Sanyet return to the inn. Then the come across Tei. How does that sound?]
