You have just entered room "Demon Slaying Maniacs R Us."
ShahrazadKM: No, go ahead and starts. I'll.....oh, that.
Kaede83: ??
Kaede83: okay, I'll start....
Kaede83: Kaede rises from slumber, cursing as he awakens to sharp pains and pangs running thorughout his body...
Kaede83: he gently lays aside Dere, next to him, and heads out to the topside of the ship, taking in the breeze of the sea...
mystic elf 2086: *her head slowly turns in position as a small moans escapes from her lips, her slumber seeming to be disturbed*
mystic elf 2086: *slowly her eyes open to the nightime sky, the stars seeming to be radiating from the celestial heavens*
Kaede83: Gitano: he shakes his head as he awakens to strange voices, "what is happening to me...?"
mystic elf 2086: *she slowly forces her muscles to move, her body rising from the slumber position against the wall*
Trillean: <As is usual for her, she awakens with a smile upon her lips. She combs her hair out with her fingers. Rubbing her neck gingerly where two puncture marks are she dons a long tunic and a pair of tight pants.>
mystic elf 2086: *shaking her head slightly, she looks around at the empty deck*
mystic elf 2086: *sighing slightly, she walks towards the bow of the ship*
Trillean: <Heading out onto the deck she stares up at the sky and smiles before looking over the railing>
Kaede83: Kaede walks along the side of the beach, within a few yards of the ship, and sighs, sitting down on the sand, "so much has happened..."
Kaede83: he groans, running a hand through his hair, which causes him to wince in pain as his muscles move...
mystic elf 2086: *sighs and looks at her body, she sighs in disgust*....I'm a mess....
mystic elf 2086: *she feels her body turn towards the beach as she steps onto it, feeling herself sink into the sand*
Trillean: Such beautiful waters, like sapphires. Pity I never learned how to swim.
Kaede83: Gitano: as he rises from his bed, he hears phantoms in his head, 'join me Gitano...join me and live...join me and change the fates...'
mystic elf 2086: *sees Kaede* You cannot sleep either my friend?
Kaede83: Gitano: he flutters his eyes, sneering, "nonsense...I control my own fate..."
Kaede83: Kaede sighs as he looks up at her, "too many concerns to sleep just yet...even with comforting arms around me...."
Kaede83: he nods, "and you?"
mystic elf 2086: *she walks up to him, a look of concern yet...understandment on stained on her face* I...I have alot of my mind...and it disturbs my slumber
Trillean: <She gives a sharp almost undetectable whistle and holds out her arm>
mystic elf 2086: *she folds her arms, wincing slightly as the wound of her shoulds stings* mostly...about my behavior today...
Kaede83: he furrows his eyebrows, "oh?"
Kaede83: his ears pick up on the whistle, and he looks to Artemis, "looks like we aren't the only ones who can't sleep.."
mystic elf 2086: *she closes her red eyes, nodding slowly* I lost control of myself today Kaede...the demon I told you about that is inside me...thats just the shell of it...
Trillean: <she nods to them awaiting something>
Kaede83: he nods, "we all have demons lurking inside Ayden...it's nothing to be ashamed of...we just have to help each other through it..."
mystic elf 2086: *she nods, sighing a small sigh* Its just...I fear that part of myself...
Kaede83: he shakes his head, "you haven't met my self...the one that used to run in the Syndicate..."
Kaede83: "it's all a question of control...and knowledge
ShahrazadKM: Far off the coast of our heroes' most recent sanctuary the ocean ripples and churns with a life all its own.
Trillean: <On silent wings a hawk perches itself upon the thick leather of her glove. Preening it keens lightly quirking it's head with curious golden eyes.>
Kaede83: "you don't have to bear it alone..."
mystic elf 2086: *looks at the sea, eyes seeming to show more distraction...distraction on something else, floating in her mind* I know my friend....and I thank you....
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "any time Ayden....just remember that..."
mystic elf 2086: *whispers* Please my friend...I know this is random but please...promise me one thing....
Kaede83: he sighs, "I wonder what they'll make of Glitch when we get to Drakon..."
ShahrazadKM: Like the rolls in silk sheets when shaken over a bed, or the billowing of curtains from the morning breeze, the ocean rises and falls to a beat heard only by those who know how to listen.
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "what is it Ayden?"
Trillean: <She strokes it's feathers softly, making her way to the beach walking down the gangplank> Ahoy there landlubbers.
ShahrazadKM: Glitch sat on the stern of the "Undying Light", legs crossed and glowing eyes fixed on the worn out pages of a very thick book.
mystic elf 2086: *looks back, pain staining her eyes and features* No matter what fate drops in your way....*she shakes her head slowly* do not push Dere away...she cares for you...as do you...do not suffer the fate....that I know all too well....
Kaede83: Kaede smiles sadly, "don't worry....I won;t..."
Kaede83: he turns to Artemis, "hello friend...sleep well?"
Trillean: <she winks and smirks> Always.
ShahrazadKM: He snarled as he flipped through the book, trying to find what he knew was hidden somewhere with in the leather covers.
Trillean: Though I wouldn't call it sleep.
mystic elf 2086: *nods* Now...I must be alone...I have thoughts to think of....and decisions to make...*she turns, slowly walking down the beach, hair flowing in the wind as a breeze passes her*
darion101 has entered the room.
Kaede83: Kaede shakes his head, "indeed Artemis...things are always lively with you I suppose...."
Trillean: By the way, met another of your kind. <She pulls back her collar to reveal two puncture marks along the inside of a bruise>
Trillean: I served as a midnight snack.
Kaede83: Kaede raises his eyebrows, "indeed?"
Kaede83: "I take it he bit you in a way so you wouldn't turn..."
Kaede83: Kaede nods to Ayden as she leaves...knowing she needs time to herself...
Trillean: Yes, he did, he is one of the old ones or so he claims.
mystic elf 2086: *she walks down the beach slowly as a hand slowly rise to her other arm, clutching it*
Kaede83: Gitano: he shakes his head, "I've had enough of this...staying up here while my surrogates run around...stealing MY glory..."
Trillean: Things need to be lively to keep one such as me alive.
ShahrazadKM: "Marine Time....Mariner's Dream....Maronium....ah-ha!" Glitch hit the hull of the ship with one hand "Found it!"
Kaede83: Gitano: he walks up to the airlocks, preparing a ship for launch...
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "it is well at that, I'm glad you are enjoying yourself...and also...I'm glad the Dark Kiss did not affect you..many don't find it so...pleasureable...or too pleasureable..."
mystic elf 2086: *slowly she comes to a very fimiliar spot as she just stares, hair flowing over her face as a tear gently slide down, staining her pale skin*
Kaede83: he turns silent, remembering his first "meal" as a vampire...
ShahrazadKM: "'Maronium Serpendius, also known as 'Sea Serpants', are common haunts around the Drakonian Islands during the late summer and early fall.'"
Trillean: Would you ever turn someone?
Kaede83: Gitano: he snarls as several aides try to stop him, "I will not have my actions dictated to me!"
mystic elf 2086: *a voice slowly enters her mind, seeming to beg her* I...love....you...*slowly her eyes soften as she closes them tightly*
Kaede83: Kaede nods soberly, "I already have Artemis..."
Trillean: Who?
mystic elf 2086: *she feels herself stop quivering as her eyes open up, seeming to be full...of something..else*
Kaede83: he sighs, shaking his head, "I turned Dere....I turned her...cursed her to share my fate...but..."
darion101 has left the room.
ShahrazadKM: "'Sea Serpants are not hostile, but are very protective of their kin and the Alpha Males tend to be very territorial. Often mistake for Sea and Water Dragons, these reptilic amphibians are considered to be holy...."
mystic elf 2086: *whispers*....I know what I can do....
Kaede83: Kaede sighs again, "I love her Artemis...I want to share my life with her....but do I want her to live as I have? live a half life?"
ShahrazadKM: "'....and the bringers of good fortune and luck to those who see them.'" Glitch raised his brow "Interesting little legend, there."
Darion101 has entered the room.
mystic elf 2086: *slowly she feels her hands come up behind her neck as pulls off the necklace, staring at the shimmering jewels and inscirptions*
Kaede83: Gitano: he curses, "anyone trying to stop me will be shot...now I leave!"
Trillean: Two halves make a whole, Kaede.
Kaede83: Gitano: he mashes his finger on the release button, leaving the space base and heading for the planet below...
mystic elf 2086: *she clucthes it tightly in her hand as she slowlt takes off her cloak and sets it on the ground, revealing a knee high skirt and small white shirt*
Kaede83: he nods, "I know Artemis....I suppose I'm just worried...will she hate me for what I've done? as the one who turned her...I do have an obligation...a responsibility for her..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch looked up at the rolling waves just in time to see one of the smalled Sea Serpants rise out of the water then dive back down.
Kaede83: [YAY! LAUREN!]
ShahrazadKM: Glitch closed the book and got to his feet. He lept off the stren, onto the deck and started down into the hull.
ShahrazadKM: (Hi, Lauren!)
Trillean: Yes, you are, but if she asked for it there is naught you can do. Take caer of her for she is your child. <The hawk squawks curiously and she strokes his feathers before launching him into the air>
Kaede83: [she's not in yet Kim]
Darion101: :-)
ShahrazadKM: (Oh.......sorry, darion101)
Darion101: hehehe
Kaede83: Kaede grins, "I wouldn't call her my CHILD Artemis....fathers don't treat their daughters that way...well...they SHOULDN'T..."
Trillean: <She laughs> But you must act as a father, guide her in these uncharted waters.
Kaede83: he nods, "I shall try my best...thank you Artemis..."
mystic elf 2086: *she looks out towards the sea, eyes scanning the horizon*
Kaede83: he grins, "you have a sound mind as ever I see..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch replaced the book on the shelf in his quarters and sat down on the bed. When the sun rose and the winds returned, the group would set sail once again. Glitch was actually excited about going to the islands.
ShahrazadKM: Though he wasn't sure why.
mystic elf 2086: *slowly she puts the necklace back on, leaving out in the open, not tucked underneath her shirt*
Trillean: <She nods> That is an honor coming from one such as you.
Trillean: I do have my moments.
Trillean: Now I must get back to the ship, I would like to see Glitch, it has been a good while since last we spoke.
Kaede83: he smiles, "indeed, and I am glad for your company...so...I was rather...indisposed yesterday after the attack...are you alright?
Kaede83: he nods, "please send my best to Glitch...I've not spoken with him since two days ago...."
ShahrazadKM: The first thing he was going to do was try and find repair center. The Black Band that kept him a slave was doing its job very well. Even after Kaede had messed and tweeked it, it still made life far from Los Stella Mega hard.
Trillean: <She nods> I am fine, I can take care of myself. Artemis was not dubbed goddess of the Hunt for nothing you know? <She turns her back on him and walks up the gangplank making her way towards her quaters>
mystic elf 2086: *she whispers slowly, hair flowing over her face*....Gitano....why...why must you be tormented....you do not deserve this...
ShahrazadKM: All ready it was making him narcaleptic....if that ever the word or how you spelled it....but now it was making him nocturnal. Glitch just couldn't sleep.
Kaede83: Gitano: as he makes his way through the atmosphere, he furrows his eyebrows, the balance on his drop ship going haywire....
Kaede83: Gitano: he curses, "ah yes...the protection of Drakon....no techonology..well...we'll have to remedy that...."
mystic elf 2086: *her eyes shift to the horizon as a shooting star suddenly appears, burning through the sky*
Kaede83: as his ship begins to burn up in the atmosphere, he grins, "fine....this wil be fun..."
mystic elf 2086: *her eyes narrow, feeling a fimiliar presence*....Gitano....
ShahrazadKM: Glitch stretched and durned on the little radio that was in his quarters. Maybe he could pick up a classical station or something.
Kaede83: he hones his senses, trying to feel where Ayden is, "if you won't break the connection girl..I'll use it to my own ends...."
Trillean: <She makes her way to Glitch's chamgers and knocks lightly on his door>
Dawnrider31 has entered the room.
Kaede83: [NOW Lauren is in the house!]
ShahrazadKM: He played with the tuner, getting nothing but static. "Come in." he says when he hears the knock "I'm decent."
Dawnrider31: <<lol, hello everyone.>>
Kaede83: Gitano: he hones his senses, trying to feel where Ayden is, "if you won't break the connection girl..I'll use it to my own ends...."
ShahrazadKM: (hey, Lauren!)
mystic elf 2086: *she closes her eyes slowly, feeling a sudden energy flow through her as a large white light appears on her back*
Trillean: <<hi lauren!>>
mystic elf 2086: *the light grows and forms large white wings as it dies out, some white feathers flying in the wind*
Kaede83: Gitano: as he fumbles with the controls, he steers his ship towards the source....for where Ayden is..Kaede should be close by...but his sihp is hit with a strange force...
Trillean: <She walks in quietly and smiles> How havey ou been?
mystic elf 2086: (hiya Lauren!!)
Kaede83: Gitano: "damn it...it's like EMP...my controls are shot..."
Dawnrider31: <<:-)>>
ShahrazadKM: Glitch looks up. "Hey, Artemis! I'm all right, you?"
Darion101: **just like to say I really liked your wing creation description Jackie :-)**
Kaede83: Kaede catches sight of the burning star, and forrows his eyebrows, "that's odd..."
mystic elf 2086: *feeling a white light suddenly flash in the air, she flaps them hard taking off into the sky*
Trillean: I am fine.
Trillean: What have you been up ot?
mystic elf 2086: *feeling the wind rush past her body, she brings her arms down, cutting off wind resistance as she passes over the ship, disappearing into the horizon*
ShahrazadKM: "Just trying to find 'A Little Night Music'." Glitch says, motioning to the radio
mystic elf 2086: ( lol ty)
ShahrazadKM: "Getting nothing but static, so far."
Trillean: <She smiles and sits down upon the bed> Wonderful.
mystic elf 2086: *her eyes scan the horizon, they fall upon the shooting star form*
Trillean: I hate static but I suppose I should expect nothing less
ShahrazadKM: "Well," he shrugs "considering technology is considered a tainted energy in these parts, I'm suprised I'm even picking up static."
Kaede83: Gitano: as he tinkers with the controls, he finally manages to veer his ship towards an island near where he feels Ayden...
Kaede83: [gimme a sec ppl]
mystic elf 2086: (okay)
ShahrazadKM: "Static is airwaves not being used. I expected just silence out of this thing."
Trillean: <She shrugs> I know not of such but I suppose you would being an . . . android.
mystic elf 2086: * slowly her eyes fall upon a remote island down in the sea, no where near the main land. She dives towards the island, landing on the soft yet untouched sand*
ShahrazadKM: Glitch grins and nods his head "It does help, at times."
Kaede83: Kaede walks in and nods, "Glitch, the reason you still function is because you are ALIVE...."
Kaede83: he sighs, "if we could get this to hold up in court, they'd never abuse your kind again...."
Trillean: Alive?
ShahrazadKM: He finally gives up and turns the radio off.
mystic elf 2086: *slowly lowering her wings, she feels them get into a relexed position, she feels the warmth of the light her wings emit, a unholy yet comforting white glow*
ShahrazadKM: He looks up at Kaede in complete confusion "What?"
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "consciousness Artemis, Glitch here has one, he has a life, he exists...but he isn't something apart from life...it cancels out the bar to technology..."
ShahrazadKM: "What brought that on, Kaede? Afraid they won't let me on the Islands?"
Kaede83: "I was thinking about how androids could be allowed into Drakon...I've finally figured it out..."
mystic elf 2086: *slowly her eyes fall upon the sky again, looking at the coming light* You know where I am....come...
Trillean: <She smiles> A clever one you are.
Kaede83: Gitano: he curses, finally emerging above the crashing waves...
ShahrazadKM: Glitch smiles "Eureka, eh, Kaede?"
Kaede83: he grins
Kaede83: "indeed"
Kaede83: Gitano: as he wearily pulls himself ashore, he shakes his head, "argh....I'm going to kill you for this Kaede..."
ShahrazadKM: He leans back on the table and knocks the radio off. As it crashes to the floor it activates....and picks up a station.
Trillean: Having conscious though isn't all it's cracked up to be.
mystic elf 2086: *slowly she looks down the beach, seeing an emerging form from the ocean*
Kaede83: he grins, "indeed...I'm glad I lost it for the most part yesterday...just SEEING my wounds looked painful..."
ShahrazadKM: "....The United Brotherhood for Humanity held a rally today infront of the Los Stella Mega Council Hall."
mystic elf 2086: *she turns and looks at it, eyes emitting a pleading yet...happy look*
ShahrazadKM: "Hey!" Glitch practically shouted as he picked up the radio "That's Home!"
mystic elf 2086: *she feels a breeze flow by, moving strands of her hair over her red eyes*
Kaede83: he stretches, shaking himself dry, blinking his eyes as he begins to tinker with the drop ship, "at least you can float...come on damn you! I've got to get to Drakon!"
Kaede83: Gitano: he stretches, shaking himself dry, blinking his eyes as he begins to tinker with the drop ship, "at least you can float...come on damn you! I've got to get to Drakon!"
Kaede83: [pardons for the mix up....]
Trillean: <<that's ok>>
Trillean: Home what of home glitch?
ShahrazadKM: "The protest was held when it was announced the Lord Terron and Lady Sarah were planning on supporting the AI Bill of Rights."
mystic elf 2086: Drakon...do you actually think they will allow you onto their hold grounds? *her voices carry in the wind, reaching Gitano as she just stands there, wings out*
mystic elf 2086: holy*
ShahrazadKM: "The Brotherhood, lead by Lord Connar's brother-in-law, Sanos, excalated to such a severity that the Hunters had to be called in by local police."
Kaede83: Gitano: he turns at the sound of the whispers carried in the wind, "what...?"
ShahrazadKM: Glitch turns towards Kaede "The....Hunters. Kaede, aren't you a Hunter?"
mystic elf 2086: Do you actually think...the holy ones..would let you onto their pure land?
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "indeed..it must be serious if we have been called for this once more..."
ShahrazadKM: "I am very disappointed in Lord Terron and Lady Sarah," Lord Connar's voice came over the radio "but I am more ashamed of how the Brotherhood has acted today."
Kaede83: "the Hunters haven't been used thusly in ages..."
mystic elf 2086: *she whispers slowly, her eyes sad as she slowly walks foreward, wings slowly flowing behind her*
Kaede83: Gitano: he sneers, "look around you Ayden, pure and tainted mean nothing anymore..."
Trillean: So we are drained down to nothing more than simple keepers of the peace?
ShahrazadKM: ""The Brotherhood was founded to protect the rights of mortals in this age where machines and robotics threaten to take over every aspect of our lives."
mystic elf 2086: *she shakes her head* You are wrong....
mystic elf 2086: Goodness...still exists in this world...hope, dedication, love....purity...it still exists...
Kaede83: he shakes his head, "Artemis...in our hayday, the Hunters were the personal contractors of the rich, our word was law..we did what the police could not....we even protected the emperors..."
Darion101: ** another annoying comment, the AI rights thing is really cool **
ShahrazadKM: "They have all ready taken over our jobs....now they want to take over the government as well!"
Kaede83: [indeed, thanks, I like it]
ShahrazadKM: Glitch blinks as he sets the radio down on the table and sits next to Artemis on the bed.
Kaede83: Gitano: he grins, "oh yes Ayden? in this age where life is debatable....what laws do you think still hold true?"
Trillean: Well there are no emperors now and no rich will hire us, we are nothing more than security guards.
Kaede83: Kaede turns off the radio, "enough of this rubbish..."
Trillean: It is alright Glitch, we far away from there.
Kaede83: he grins, "Hunters have now become mere bounty seekers...but some of us are more....some less..."
Kaede83: "like the stars Artemis....some shine bright, but there are those which are dim.."
Trillean: I hate to say it, but I'm less.
mystic elf 2086: *eyes narrow* The law two everlasting souls share...the pur bond of love that intertwine them forever...sharing their pain..joys...hardships..every living moment. The sacred law that lovers share...*a tear falls* That still exists!
Trillean: Not even a hawk would be able to see the city.
Kaede83: he shakes his head, "I doubt it, or you wouldn't be here...."
mystic elf 2086: pure*
ShahrazadKM: "Today's demonstartion has pushed back the all ready delayed AI Bill of Rights to the next full moon, a month from today. According to Alpha Hunter Sean, this later date only means more violance against AIs...."
Kaede83: he pats Glitch on the shoulder once, "I must check on Peruna and Sedric...I will return shortly..."
ShahrazadKM: "....and the 'mortals' that support them. Dick Clark, reporting live from Los Stella Mega."
Dawnrider31: <Peruna's eyes flutter open. A sterilized looking room without anyone in it but her. As she looks about, her head begins to pound and she shuts her eyes to block out the light.> Well good morning to me...
Kaede83: Gitano: he shakes his head, "....that was....a long time ago....many things have happened..."
mystic elf 2086: (brb!!!)
Trillean: <She lifts her head up at that> Why do they not do something? Surely Sean will do something, he was not named our leader for nothing.
Kaede83: [okay]
Kaede83: Kaede stops in his tracks, "he's leader now?"
Trillean: <<dick clark lol that was a nice touch>>
Kaede83: [heh, yeah, good one Kim]
ShahrazadKM: (grins)
Trillean: <<ack sorry i read it wrong n/m cut that out last part about him being leader out>>
Kaede83: Kaede shakes his head, "I wonder how many Omegas are left...? We are all but forgotten now.....much like the Isle we head for..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch shakes his head "I just don't understand."
Kaede83: he walks out, "such is my fate I suppose..."
Trillean: Better to be forgotten in this world than remembered for to be remembered could mean death.
Kaede83: he gets into a small speeder, shaking his head, "a few more miles and even this will be useless....we are getting closer to Drakon..."
mystic elf 2086: (okay back, sorry)
Kaede83: [np]
ShahrazadKM: He looks over at Kaede and then at Artemis "We didn't ask for this, I mean, to come one line....so why are they trying to kill us?"
ShahrazadKM: 'on line'
Kaede83: Kaede hears them, and turns again....walking back...
ShahrazadKM: Shakes his head "Strange."
mystic elf 2086: *she raises a eyebrow* and what makes you think that bond between Gitano and me has changed?
Trillean: They think that you take jobs away from humans.
Trillean: They think you do no have souls.
Kaede83: he struggles to say something, "man has always feared what he cannot understand..what he cannot control....completely...think of how humanity reacted to the existence of other walks of life..."
Trillean: Such as being a "courtesan".
Kaede83: "so they make up some gibberish about superiority...not only Humans either...there are other races in the High Council..."
mystic elf 2086: *she slowly walks foreward* Taron...you god damn fool...I know you control him...I know you control his soul....you bastard....
Kaede83: Gitano: he furrows his eyebrows, "Ayden? what are you talking about? I control myself....now please...don't get in my way..."
Dawnrider31: <Slowly attempting to sit up, she feels her head spin and she has to lay back down.> Oh that first step...
Kaede83: Kaede turns, gets into his speeder, and jets away, leaving the last words, "it doesn't make it right...don't lose faith...."
ShahrazadKM: (Sha, you do realize we were in Glitch's room right?)
ShahrazadKM: (In the boat?)
Kaede83: Gitano: then he starts to convulse in pain...his eyes glowing yellow....
mystic elf 2086: Taron...don't run from me your coward....
Trillean: Glitch none of us asked to be born, or be what we are, but we are so we might as well make the best of it.
Kaede83: [yeah, but we stopped at an island]
Kaede83: Gitano: he shakes his head, and grins as he speaks...he is no longer simply the man before her...
mystic elf 2086: *eyes soften as her eyes fill with worry for Gitano*
ShahrazadKM: Glitch smiles "I'm saying I wish I had never come into existance....I just wish I could understand it, and maybe change a few things."
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: "hello sister...it's been a while..."
ShahrazadKM: (Correction: I'm NOT saying)
Trillean: <<ok>>
mystic elf 2086: *grins* So the little cockroach shows himself....
ShahrazadKM: (Major whoops, right there)
Trillean: Perhaps you will, if anyone can do it you can.
Kaede83: [indeed, lol]
ShahrazadKM: "I sure hope so." Glitch says.
Trillean: <<la cookarocha lalalalala>>
Dawnrider31: <<I learned the words to that the other day.>>
Trillean: <<lol interesting>>
Darion101: [you guys are silly]
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he arches an eyebrow, "oh you wound me sister....what have you been up to? why are you meddling in my plans?"
ShahrazadKM: The radio, having finished with the new report, has been playing one of the more modern pieces of classical style music.
Kaede83: [indeed]
Trillean: Do not sound so down, come look at the waters and the beaches they are beautiful.
Kaede83: Kaede finally pulls up to the small clinic, and nods, seeing Peruna slowly trying to walk....
Kaede83: he turns to see Sedric...fast asleep..
Kaede83: Kaede shakes his head, "I thought I told him to gaurd her..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch smiles at Artemis "Okay."
Trillean: <<ooo i bet he's sucking his thumb and holding his blankie>>
mystic elf 2086: *she slowly draws her sword, metal reflecting in the haunting moonlight* What I have been up to is none of your concern you doubling crossing backstabber.....and I here to stop you!
ShahrazadKM: He stands "Might be a good idea to get my mind off of what I heard...if I can."
Kaede83: [lol]
mystic elf 2086: *eyes flare a red color* You have haunted him long enough!!
Dawnrider31: <Taking one step at a time, and focusing on the ground in front of her, talking to herself.> Deep breath...
mystic elf 2086: (lol ^^)
Trillean: Do you wish to buy anything my . .. business has been thriving as of late.
Kaede83: Gitano: his eyes stop flashing, and he raises his hands, his eyes darting back and forth... "Ayden? where am I?"
mystic elf 2086: *eyes go back to normal* Gitano...please hang on! Listen to my voice! Focus on it!
Kaede83: Gitano: he shakes his head, "what...is...happening...?"
mystic elf 2086: *she starts running towards him* Please trust me! Grab my hand, please!
ShahrazadKM: Glitch cocks his head to one side and narrows his eyes, not sure what he was just offered if offered anything at all.
Kaede83: Gitano: he looks at her, "Ayden? is that you....?"
Dawnrider31: <She misses a step and stumbles...>
ShahrazadKM: "No," he says hesitantly "I think I'll just go for a walk."
Kaede83: Kaede winces as he walks up to her, catching her arm, "you alright?"
mystic elf 2086: *she slowly extends her hand* Yes...It is me....*tears slowly fall down her face*
Dawnrider31: <She looks at him a little blurrily and smiles.> Hello Stranger.
Kaede83: he slowly takes her hand, hugging her tightly, shuddering, "What's...happening Angel?"
Trillean: Alright than, do you care if I join you?
Kaede83: he grins, "take it easy Peruna...you can't do it all in one day..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch smiles and nods "It's a free beach. Come right along." he leads the way out of his room and onto the deck.
Dawnrider31: <Smiles at the uncommon affection.> Well I can damn well try! Man does my head hurt.
mystic elf 2086: *her hands clutch at him, pulling herself tight into his embrace*....Please....just for now...let the moment be....
Trillean: <She follows him, spotting her hawk on the beach making a kill out of a sand rat.> Do you know my business?
Kaede83: he laughs, slowly letting her back down, and swears dispassionately at Sedric, "what is that layabout doing?"
mystic elf 2086: *her eyes suddenly close as her lips cover hers, her soul being poured into the kiss, a hint of yearning in it*
Dawnrider31: <Looks back at Sedric and shrugs.> He was up all night I think.
Kaede83: Gitano: he kisses her hungrily, wrapping his arms about her...then begins to twitch again....
Kaede83: Kaede's eyes soften, picking up Sedric, slinging him over a shoulder, and offers a hand to Peruna, "care to get back to the ship?"
ShahrazadKM: Glitch thinks "I got the impress, from what Kaede said, that you are an undercover Hunter. As too the cover under which you hide, I have no clue." he thinks again "To be honest I thought you were an assassign or theif."
ShahrazadKM: He grins sheepishly "No offence."
Kaede83: Gitano: he slowly pushes her away, "please...get back.."
Dawnrider31: <She nods and walks along side him unsteadily.> You're looking better already.
mystic elf 2086: *kisses him again and feels the twitch as she shakes in fear* No please stay with me...stay with me Gitano! I have longed for this moment for so long...please...*tears of pain fall* Do not leave me!! Please!!
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he grins, "sorry sis....only a taste..."
Trillean: <She laughs> What I do is no cover, it truly is a profession a way to get information, but I also do it for pleasure. And no it is no theif or assassin though I have often had to do so.
Kaede83: Kaede nods slowly, "I...fed off her blood again..."
ShahrazadKM: "Oh."
mystic elf 2086: *eyes fill in anger* Damn you....DAMN YOU TARON!!!!
Dawnrider31: <She nods without looking at him, knowing how uncomfortable he is with it.> You know she wouldn't let you do it if she didn't love you.
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he sneers, "what the matter Ayden? I thought you'd be happy to have seen him once more..."
Trillean: To put it in a plain terms, which I particularly don't care for, I'm a prostitute.
mystic elf 2086: *tears of pain fall* LET HIM GO!
Kaede83: he nods, "yes I....know...but I just can't stop remembering the first time I fed..."
mystic elf 2086: He no longer is your puppet!! Let his soul free you bastard!!!
Kaede83: he opens the speeder door, letting Peruna inside, and lays Sedric down as well..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch blinks. "Oh, really."
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he shakes his head, "no sister...not this time....I have my own plans..."
Dawnrider31: <She turns to look him in the eye.> We've been over this Kaede, you can't let your past rule your present.
mystic elf 2086: And those plans have no meaning!! *draws her sword* Face me!!
Trillean: <She nods> Yes. <She walks onto the beach admiring the calm skies>
ShahrazadKM: "How did you come to chose that profession?"
Kaede83: Gitano: he blinks, back to his outer shell of a self once more...
Trillean: Hmm, I have a dark past.
ShahrazadKM: "Or did it chose you?"
Trillean: I joined the Hunters simply not for the pleasure of it, but to escape something.
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "I know Peruna...I just have to control myself..I'm afraid for her...I don't want to lose her like I lost...."
mystic elf 2086: Face me Taron! *grins* Unless you fera of losing...you always did lose to me all those years ago...no matter what you did..you were still the little boy always wanting to be the big grown up swordsman
Trillean: Both you could say. It is good money, and I learn much good information.
mystic elf 2086: fear*
ShahrazadKM: "Seems like everyone in this group is trying to escape."
Dawnrider31: <put a finger to his lips> it doesn't matter.
Kaede83: he sighs, throwing the speeder into gear once more..."let's go back...the others are waiting..."
Trillean: Yes we are, many of us are dark mine is just . . . twisted.
Kaede83: he smiles, "thanks Peruna...it's nice to be able to trust people again..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch shrugs "Twisted is a relative term."
Kaede83: Gitano: he shakes his head, "who are you talking to Ayden?"
Kaede83: Gitano: he draws his sword, "but if you want a match, I'm tired of argueing..."
Trillean: Twisted applies quite well to mine. Some things against the laws of natural humanity and nature.
Dawnrider31: <She smiles, sits back and closes her eyes.> I know what you mean.
mystic elf 2086: Gitano please listen!! Taron is controlling you!
Kaede83: Gitano: he sighs, "we've been over this before Angel....do I need to repeat myself?"
ShahrazadKM: Glitch looks her over and nods "I see. Care to share?"
Kaede83: Gitano: he brandishes his sword, "I don't want to fight you...in fact I'm rather fond of you....but I can't have you in my way...one way or the other..."
mystic elf 2086: Taron you coward...fighting behind someone...*grins*
Trillean: <She shudders slightly, but nods, blinking back tears. It is overwhelming her again, all of it like the tides that never receed it lies in the back of her mind like a predator waiting for pray.> My father was a cruel man.
Trillean: And a sick one.
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: his eyes flash yellow again, "fine then wench...come at me...."
mystic elf 2086: *eyes flare a red as I raises sword and charge, swinging upward*
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: "I'll play with you..it amuses me...."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch sits down on a stone near the shore, listening to Artemis.
Kaede83: Kaede slowly draws up to the ship, and nods, carrying Sedric and offering Peruna a hand once more, "please...."
Trillean: <She sighs and throws her braid over her shoulder sitting on the soft sand beside him> He said I was always pretty. He would show me off to his friends.
Trillean: I didn't realize what was happening.
mystic elf 2086: *grins* amuses? Don't you mean suit you? I was always better than you...teaching the little boy to play with the big leagues...clearly you are still that little boy...crying his heart out because of a small boo boo...
mystic elf 2086: *laughs*
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he rushes backwards, raising his own blade, "you seem to have forgotten just how helpless you were back then....or need I kill more of your friends to prove my point? Gitano perhaps?"
Dawnrider31: <She takes his arm and stands shakily. She look out at the water with aprehension.> Right...
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: "but not yet sister....there is talk and action...the talker has none...and I will not talk....I will act!"
Trillean: <Her nails dig into the tender flesh of her arms as she stares down at the sand> It wasn't my fault.
Trillean: I didn't deserve it.
Kaede83: he furrows his brows, "what? don't like the water?"
Trillean: But he didn't believe that.
mystic elf 2086: Then act upon me!! Release you hatred upon me you coward!!!
Trillean: At the age of 11, my father began to <she gulps> touch me in ways fathers should not.
mystic elf 2086: *raises sword and commences fight*
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he raises his sword arm, gesturing to Ayden, "come on...."
Dawnrider31: <She looks at him quietly, her voice a whisper.> I love it... up until yesterday...
ShahrazadKM: Glitch places one of his cold metalic hands on her shoulder. "I'm sorry."
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "don't worry....nothing will happen...that was something else entirely...that was enchanment...."
Kaede83: he grins, "if something untowards happens, I'll be right there...okay?"
Trillean: I know you are, as I am. He raped me completely when I was 13, than made his friends take me. He watched.
mystic elf 2086: *raises sword and brings some blows towards the chest area*
Kaede83: "and so will Sedric...I'm sure of it..."
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he grins, lashing aroung the blows, twisting his sword along the length of her blade to slash at her hands...
ShahrazadKM: Glitch narrows his eyes angrily and frowns.
Dawnrider31: <She gulps, sucks on her lip thoughtfully then makes up her resolve to be strong.> Alright.
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: the attacks follow lightning quick, as he plunges forward, sending a shoulder into her stomach...he follows with a punch, firing a flame blast into her chest...
Trillean: So when I was 15, I ran away to the Hunters hoping they would take me. 'Twas the cook who got me, she had been through the same. My father still lives.
ShahrazadKM: "One has to wonder what our so called 'Child Protection Association' is doing while this sort of thing is happeneing." he snorts
mystic elf 2086: *blocks punch and brings hand to his forehead, hits his forehead, stunning him*
Trillean: <She laughs bitterly> Simple, he was a part of it. My father was charming and cunning they let him slide.
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he grins, "hmm...that tickles...."
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he lunges at her, flying over her back, and grabs her about the waist, throwing her up into the air
ShahrazadKM: Glitch frowns even deeper "Strange world we living. The guilty go free and the innocent are punished. Lovely."
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: then he leaps after her, his blade glowing CRIMSON with fire...as he slashes her repeatedly...hacking away with his Unholy Blade....
Dawnrider31: <<I hate you...>>
Trillean: That is why I became a whore. To get the feeling of his hands off of me. But it never fades Glitch, never. Justice does not exist in this world.
Kaede83: [??]
Kaede83: [oh, lol]
mystic elf 2086: *eyes flare as wings spread, blocking them as fats as she can*
Trillean: <<lol>>
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he grins, turning in midair, "too slow!"
mystic elf 2086: *she suddenly focuses a energy ball in her hand, sends it flying towards him*
Dawnrider31: <<Let's capitalize crimson, cuz we know Lauren hates it...>>
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he gets underneath her, firing a blast of ice at her back now...
ShahrazadKM: Glitch sighs "It would appear that way at times....but....Justice is done in time. It is slow, but Cosmic Justice never lets anything slide."
Trillean: I hope so.
mystic elf 2086: *takes hit as she is flown into the ground, hitting it hard*
Trillean: <She sniffs and looks up at him through reddened> So what is your past?
Kaede83: Kaede walks in, "Cosmic Justice? Cosmic Justice does hold sway...but it can stand a bit of help sometimes friends...."
mystic elf 2086: *she closes her eyes painfully as she slowly forces herself up*
ShahrazadKM: Glitch turns towards Kaede as he approaches the two on the beach.
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he hovers above her, "aw...did I clip your poor little wings? don't worry...you can get back from that...now....fly away little bird...you have no hold on me...."
mystic elf 2086: *suddenly sends a flame at him, hitting his chest*
ShahrazadKM: "My past." he says
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he turns, cursing as he flies backwards....slamming into a tree..
Trillean: Right now the world is too consumed with itself to help justice.
Dawnrider31: <She finds a chair and sits heavily>
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he groans as he pulls himself away, "ah...nice shot...you've improved..."
ShahrazadKM: "Maybe...." Glitch says, turning towards the horizon, towards the Drakon Islands "Then maybe we need to get some help."
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he falls to his knees, catching his breathe..
mystic elf 2086: *suddenly rushes foreward and grabs his forehead, starts chanting a ancient tongue as my necklace floats in between us, flooding out eyes and minds with a blinding white light*
Trillean: I hope so, well Glitch you've heard my tale, what of yours?
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "we could all use some Glitch...but don't worry...we'll be there soon...as soon as we are all good to go...."
mystic elf 2086: *the world arounds us goes black as chanting gets louder*
Kaede83: Gitano/Taron: he pulls his hand to his temples, "what the...?"
mystic elf 2086: *chanting dies as the world arounds us emerges into a fiery land of destruction and death*
Kaede83: Kaede sighs, "yes Glitch..have you recovered your memories?"
ShahrazadKM: Glitch nods at Kaede, then turns to Artemis "My past is fragmented....but I remember the basics."
Trillean: And what are the basics?
mystic elf 2086: *appears in front of Gitano, back turned as her voice echos* Do you not reconize this place?
ShahrazadKM: "The earlies I can remember is....washing up on the shores of Dyn, one of the Drakon Islands and being taken in by a school of healers. I know that before this I was a philosopher....but where and for how long is a mystery."
Kaede83: Gitano: his outer shell returns...swayed by Taron...and he shrugs, "I...think so...why?"
Trillean: Hmm interesting .
Trillean: Perhaps it is best not to remember.
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "that figures....just like...never mind..."
mystic elf 2086: *eyes saden as two features appear before us, one of them on the ground bleeding and not moving as the other one is leaning over it, pleading*
ShahrazadKM: "I was trained, programmed and upgraded to be a healer and served as one for three years...." he stops and thinks "Then....one day...while I was on a mission I was attacked by the Runners and taken to Los Stella Mega."
Kaede83: Gitano: he furrows his eyebrows, "wait a minute....that's....me...isn't it? and is that other one...it's...you?"
mystic elf 2086: Voice: No!! NO!!! By the gods, no! Please open your eyes, please...open them....
Kaede83: Gitano: "that's...my voice..."
ShahrazadKM: "For twenty years after that I was a Defendor, an AI Gladiator. After those twenty years Lord Connor won me in a beat and I became his servant."
mystic elf 2086: *eyes soften* Gitano....in that moment....you felt a flicker of hatred...as Taron struck me down...
Trillean: The Runners, we were supposed to take care of them.
Trillean: Seems we didn't.
ShahrazadKM: "They are a very old, very deep organization."
mystic elf 2086: *walks foreward and gently rests a hand on his cheek* You thought I had left this world...left you alone...*shakes head* You thought I died...but I didn't
Trillean: <She looks at Gltich with understanding in her eyes> How old are you?
Kaede83: Kaede nods, "the Runners...a part of the reason we never ended them...is Gitano..."
ShahrazadKM: "I have a feeling that once my memory blocks are deleted I can give you indepth information on them, Kaede."
Kaede83: Gitano: he shudders, half of him wanting to enjoy the caress...the other trying to spurn it...
ShahrazadKM: Glitch blinks at Artemis' question "My age?"
ShahrazadKM: "Umm." he runs a few numbers in his head "I guess...."
mystic elf 2086: *gently looks into his eyes, feeling a warmth start to rise in his soul* I did not leave you that day....I never did...and I never will....
Trillean: We need to get rid of Gitano strike the snake at it's head not it's backbone.
ShahrazadKM: "Seeing how I don't remember the first half of my life, I'll be generous and say I'm 100 years old. Give or take a few years."
Kaede83: Gitano: his brow begins to sweat, his eyes twitching...slowly Taron's voice struggles to get through, "stop...it..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch shrugs "I don't know."
Trillean: <Her eyes widen> Gosh you guys make me feel like a babe inthe cradle.
Kaede83: he grins, "I may be older than you, but I haven't matured much in all these years...."
Kaede83: he shakes his head, "I had enough during my own childhood..."
mystic elf 2086: *lips gently covers his, the warmth glowing and bring Gitano back, his own voice...and his ownself*
ShahrazadKM: Glitch smiles sheepishly "I'm not that old....considering the oldest AI is 758 and still running like new."
Kaede83: Gitano: he throws aside convention, drowning himself in a feeling he has not experienced in ages...
Trillean: Gosh.
Trillean: Let me see, I'm only 22.
Trillean: <She smiles>
Kaede83: Gitano: slowly...a part of his rebels....and he puts his hands to her shoulders, "please...don't..."
ShahrazadKM: Glitch smiles "She's actually a nice AI, a little old fashioned, but very kind and knows tons of stories."
Trillean: Most of the elderly do.
Kaede83: he breath still steams hotly against his own lips, and he feels a rush like he hasn't known for ages....but he clamps down on the feelings...
mystic elf 2086: *places hands on the sides of his face*......You know this is not you...please...all these years without you...all those nights of waking up without you by my side...it hurts Gitano....*tears fall* it hurts my soul....
Trillean: Like our friend Kaede here, the old fart.
mystic elf 2086: everyday...I feel like I am dieing without
