Excuse me ladies, the last post was obviously mine. Will get the hang of this yet....

No problem, all things come with time-I just figured out how to do the quotes yesterday and I've been here a while

Oraia

Watching the interplay between the others makes me laugh, finally finding a sense of humor in the rediculousness (sp) of the entire scene. I was reminded of two dogs squaring off before tearing into one another.

Having no such qualms about touching either of them i put a hand companiably on each shoulder and said "well how about a truce for the evening, trying to be at least pleasant towards one another because I hate eating alone and I for one am starving."

Talon

OOC: Thank You for the understanding and patience


IC: Areae's face changes dramatically as she smiles, slighting the impact of her words.

"Perhaps someday you will tell me what has made you hate mankind so, but till then I will honor your wishes" Talon replies with a nod, lowering his hand.

"But for the night let us dine as new friends would and after a good rest we may bid each other farewell in the morn. The tavern I have chosen to reside at is nearby and is the finest in the the capital city."

At the touch of Oraia's hand on his shoulder and her soothing words of hunger and thirst Talon nods and returns the words.

"Then let us proceed" Raising his arm he points the way, offering the women the chance to lead.

Oraia

Waiting patiently to see what Areae wants to do, already knowing her for her changable moods.

OOC bye

OOC and on that note since I am very tired I think it would be best to bid adieu until hopefully earlier in the day tomorrow. Goodnight.

 

[Elvenspell]

Malorev put his smoke-scented robes on, entering them with the adeptness his fingers display when plunging into a corpse's abdomen, reaching for upward for the heart. Necromancy wasn't a pretty art, but that was fine with him: he was pretty enough to make up for it. Not that some of the dead in this town weren't pretty too, but no one looks good when turned inside out so that their entrails can be used to divine the fate of some odd thing or another.

Oh and the things he'd been reading recently in the blood and bile! He went over to his workbench, tracing his fingers dramatically over the notes he'd memorized weeks ago, as if touching them would release them from the parchment, making them spring to life. To the amazement of anyone but him, the writing vasnished soon after his fingers passed over it, and the air seemed to sigh in a desperate but weak plea for mercy as the enegies ripped through it, escaping outward like ripples of absinthe on a still puddle.

There. Sometime this night the person who is meant to be affected by his dark grip will find themselves unable to control themselves in his presence. He would only need to be nearby to feel them and for them to find his will irresistible. He grinned coldly, knowing that, as elderitch blood went into the just-released spell, someone with elven ancetry would likely be the one so ensnared. His dark eyes flashed with delight as he went out onto the street, his ravenblack flowing hair serving as a hood might on other men, covering his neck and eyes from view.

Sorry, a quick ooc that I probably won't get the time to post today

But then seeing as most are stil together, there's not yet chance for Zara to strike anyway...

 

[Marian]

Areae

OOC: Glad i didn't miss anything.

IC: Areae grins, "Maybe so." she says and decides that she will go with the truce for now. She watchs as he points the way and decides to lead, she puts her hood up over her head again and starts to walk in that direction.

 

[truthpurveyor]

Talon

{What in Hades world am I doing here, when I should be using this time to follow my quest?} Talon thought to himself as he followed the two females. {But a debt of honor is a debt that must be repaid, despite the cost}

Stepping onto the wooden landing outside the "Oracle's Tavern" He reached for the handle of the heavy wooden door.

"Allow me ladies" Talon spoke gently, his senses alert as he opened the door and the smell and sounds of the interior merged with the cooling outside air.

"I will secure a table and rooms if you will allow me?" He inquired of the two females, waiting for thier replies.

 

[Marian]

Areae

Areae walks into the tavern, and looks around, keeping her hood on, "Uh.. Sure, you go ahead and do that.." she says, not wanting to attract any attention to herself.

 

[sexylilmissie]

Oraia

OOC I'm glad I havent missed much, good afternoon everyone.

IC As talon offers to lead the way I am trying franticly to guage the interior of the inn. While bright and cheery, I find myself shaken by a sence of forboding.

Shaking my head dismissing it as just my suspicious character, following Talons lead into the estabilshment blinking and looking around in the dense smoke.

 

[truthpurveyor]

Talon

OOC: And Good Afternoon to you as well sexy, looking forward to a stimulating afternoon of posting with you and Marian....

IC: Talon walks forward and approaches a large, greasy man who stands behind the counter, noticing his furled brow and look of question and disapproval...


"Innkeeper, I find need of two more rooms for the evening. a pair of your finer in the east wing should suffice"

"Yes' M'Lord, But we usually let thier kind stay in the livery with the other animals"

"Thier Kind? These LADIES are my guests and will be treated as such, any infraction against them will be seen as a dark mark against me and my crest. Do we understand each other?"

"Yes M'Lord and forgive me, I had no intentions of doing so"

"I understand Innkeep, Now I believe my guests have expressed hunger and thirst and we will need a private room to satisfy those needs as well. Or do you wish to question me in that as well?"

"No, M'Lord, I will open my private room to you myself and send back my most comely of servants to aid you in your needs, Immediately!"

Talon turns from the heavy counter, his brows wrinkled in thought and then smoothing as he approached the pair.

"Everything is arranged, the Innkeeper will be honored to have us and our table is set and waiting"

With a raised eyebrow he silently questions the twosome and recieves a nod of approval, then walks to the rear of the large tavern where the innkeeper awaits, his hands wringing and a bead of sweat on his greasy brow.

"I trust this will be sufficient, M'Lord. It is truly the best I have to offer and once again I apologize."

Looking into the well lit interior of the room Talon nods his own approval and brushes aside the whimpered apologies as he invites the ladies in.

"We will talk no more of it, All is forgotten except our hunger. Ladies, will you please enter and let me seat you before we decide on our sup?"

 

[Marian]

Areae

Areae watchs as Talon converses with the innkeeper, and hears snipets of the conversation, and snorts at the 'their kind'. She smiles as he comes back and leads us to a room, she walks in.

 

[sexylilmissie]

Oraia

Sitting down with my back to the wall slowly relaxing prepared to enjoy an evening in good company

 

[truthpurveyor]

Talon

The ladies were seated, the Innkeeper hustling away with our orders as Talon offered to pour the red wine.

"You know my name and the reason I come here, perhaps you'll share a bit of your life with the resy of us?" He invites

 

[sexylilmissie]

Michelle

I sit back in my chair and hesitated-how much to tell?

Finally I lean forward slightly and begin to speak "From what you saw earlier, you know that I have a bit of a magical ability, for the last six years I have been learning under the tutilage of my grandfather. He was killed under mysterious curcumstances two weeks ago while researching something he would say nothing about.

I used Nightfeast as an excuse to break away from my family to hunt for answers and vengance of my own. nfortunatly I dont have much to go on so I am kind of cooling my heels while i try to come up with new leads.

 

[truthpurveyor]

Talon

Nodding in reply, knowing the effort even the smallest confession of oneself can take Talon nods in reply, his eyes sober and looking at her.

"I have had many enemies in battle, and allies as well" He states carefully "The choice of allies is what has kept me alive thus far. I would wish you to be one as well for I believe we have a common quest"

Turning he tries to draw out the still hooded Areae, in hopes of at least establishing she was a friend, not an enemy.

"And I have stood beside many kind of ally, many not of my own kind, and have been honored to call them brother and sister in battle"

 

[sexylilmissie]

Oraia

After thinking on Talons words I am at a loss to see where he gets the idea of ours being a common quest-I didn't know anything about his sister but I was pretty sure my grandfather had been killed because He saw or learned something he wasn't supposed to.

Sighing to myself, now if I could only figure out what it was he had known I would have a place to start. I also realized that I stood little chance of staying here and learning something useful. Perhaps with Talon, and maybe Areae beside me I would be safer and mobile to go look for the mureders (if there actuall were any and it wasnt just an unfortunate accident.

And besides, now that I knew where he was coming from and although I still didn't trust him very far, there was something about him-perhaps it was the treatment I had recieved as well as the respect, but I found myself comparing him to some of the qualities i admired in my granfather and found an almost perfect match.

Tired of waiting for Areaes' reponse which was still not forthcomming I stood up, turning them both saying :I think I will turn in for the night. Talon your idea has merit I would be honored to have you at my back" before walking away to find my bed.

 

[Marian]

Areae

ooc: Sorry to keep you two waiting.

IC: Areae listens to the storys of both and decides to add some of hers, "I was born into an elven village that was burned to the ground in a fire when i was old enough to fend for myself, my mother, my sister, and myself were the only ones to survive." she says and takes off her hood, "But i stayed my my family. My mother was burned badly, so my sister left to find help." she looks down at the floor, "She never came back. My mother died shortly after."

She looks back up at them, "I bried my mother, and went off wondering and found this kingdom and had alot of encounters with human men, enough to make them annoy me more then others." she said and sighed, "Then i heard of the nightfeast, and i decided to go to it. But it hasn't happened yet." she yawns a little as Oraia decides to turn in, "I think i will too." she says and heads toward herown room.

 

[Nymph]

ooc

Ack...

i'm sorry folks...I'm usually only able to posto nce a day or so...the way this thread ha s taken off, I don't think I can keep up

Really sorry...fell free to take over Zara, if you wish...

 

[Marian]

Areae

OOC: Oh.. you can continue to play Zara, it's not like you have to right now anyway, the nightfeast hasn't come yet, and none of us has really seperated, well besides going into different rooms.

 

[truthpurveyor]

I second that, Nymph. Seems hardly right that we take over what you brainstormed for all of us.

We were just warming up, so to speak and will soon be ready for your attentions? OK?

 

[sexylilmissie]

ooc

Well my vote makes it 3-1 so I guess you are it Nymph. the three of us seem to be content in a lot of detail and background so feel free to take your time

 

[truthpurveyor]

Talon

The two women gone, Talon slowly finishes his wine as night settles in. Thoughts of his sister fill him with remorse as he recalls her face and the annoying habits he swore would drive him insane.

"I would trade my sword arm for one more day with you" He speaks softly to the memory of her, pushing away from the table and moving up the steps to his room.

 

[Marian]

Areae

Areae walks into her room and sighs, "Hmm, i wonder if anything interesting will happen." she says to herself and looks out the window, then gets into bed, still wearing everything she was before, can't be too safe then sorry.
