[2015-05-14 20:11:10] <Wogglebug> Cool, everyone's here.
[2015-05-14 20:11:17] <Wogglebug> So, this is a run for the main plit.
[2015-05-14 20:11:22] <Wogglebug> *plot
[2015-05-14 20:11:53] <Wogglebug> Not sure how much you all know about that, but it involves a whole lot of stuff I don't really follow all that well.
[2015-05-14 20:12:26] <Wogglebug> But this portion of it will be very self-contained, tying in slightly with the next two, the nearest of which is being done by Scantron.
[2015-05-14 20:12:57] <Wogglebug> The run take's place in the pocket world I use for most of my runs, since it fits for what they're after
[2015-05-14 20:12:59] <Nemi> And the latest by me! Hooray.
[2015-05-14 20:13:23] <Wogglebug> Technology and normal guns don't really work there, but you're not going to be fighting or anything, so it's not important.
[2015-05-14 20:13:48] <Wogglebug> I have a textwall explaining the first part of the setup, so here's that.
[2015-05-14 20:13:58] <Wogglebug> The Foundation is currently seeking Ways into the Library, which are magical portals that pop up in random places so as to make action against the Serpent’s Hand more feasible. Currently, they don't have access to any of them, which is an issue. A month or so ago, intelligence was receive that the University at Banganash, a school for wizards in a parallel dimension which has on one occasion…
[2015-05-14 20:13:58] <Wogglebug> …been visited by members of Psi-7. Conveniently, an opportunity has arisen for the team to gain access the university and its residents, in order to potentially negotiate usage of the Way. This comes in the form of a gala being hosted by the university, held in honor of a god called Kar, which is some sort of pagan hunting spirit. The Foundation received a few invitations to the party, as…
[2015-05-14 20:13:58] <Wogglebug> …a result of their assistance with several matters on behalf of the city. The team has been given strict instructions to take no aggressive actions against anyone within the city of Banganash - no need to kick the hornet's nest in your back yard, especially when the hornets can level a continent on a bad day. Of course, this invitation didn’t exactly arrive last minute, so there has been…
[2015-05-14 20:13:58] <Wogglebug> …some opportunity to prepare. You may select one action for you character to have taken in preparation for the mission, which they may or may not have succeeded at. For example, one might go to the library within Banaganash to learn a bit about the school’s history – this would have a low chance of failure. On the other hand, trying to break in would have an extremely high chance of…
[2015-05-14 20:13:58] <Wogglebug> …failure. The choice is yours.
[2015-05-14 20:14:13] <Wogglebug> Everyone state what you try, I'll be right back.
[2015-05-14 20:15:34] <Nemi> Lisabet would have likely gone on into Banganash to catch up with people and, being somewhat asocial, hit the books at the library to learn what she can about the university.
[2015-05-14 20:16:26] <DiePotato> Isa will try to get friendly with varying officials. Helps that you've been sucking up to people higher then you for a good portion of your life.
[2015-05-14 20:16:57] <Wogglebugout> Lis, roll academics.
[2015-05-14 20:17:02] <Wogglebugout> Isa, roll persuasion.
[2015-05-14 20:17:25] <Nemi> [ Actually. If Gumbal wants to go, he can have my slot. I'm not really sure I feel this right now. :/
[2015-05-14 20:17:49] <Wogglebug> Yeah that's fine.

[2015-05-14 20:17:57] <Glacon> DiePotato: (PERS+AOYCR): 4 (4df+4= 4- , 0, 3+ , 0)
[2015-05-14 20:19:18] <Wogglebug> Isa, you go to a city council meeting, and chat up a guy named Bore. He's covered in hair from head to foot, including his face. You chat about nothing much, but he seems to enjoy your company.
[2015-05-14 20:19:36] <Complete_Zero> Jack would become familiar with the place looking for ways to move around through the architecture.
[2015-05-14 20:19:55] <Wogglebug> Roll perception, Jack.

[2015-05-14 20:20:03] <gumbal1> Danielle would likely go to the library to establish what this place is. She's rarely been here.
[2015-05-14 20:20:34] <TesKin|Phone> Alim follows Lis, going to the book stores and librarys he can find.
[2015-05-14 20:23:11] <Wogglebug> Jack: The building is walled in on every side by tall walls made of black and grey stone, almost onyx-like in appearance. They’re extremely difficult to climb, very difficult to study, and absurdly strong.
[2015-05-14 20:23:11] <Wogglebug> There are three entrances to the university, each of which looks basically the same. All are guarded by two large golems - each 12 feet tall, obsidian black humanoids with intricately carved blue ruins covering the entirety of them.
[2015-05-14 20:23:11] <Wogglebug> Within the university there are several academic buildings of various styles, most of which cover some subject of magic or university function. There are a few lecture halls, a large hospital/research center, a dorm, a main administrative center, and more. Most of this is concentrated in the main building, which a large structure in the center of the campus. The structure doesn’t have an…
[2015-05-14 20:23:11] <Wogglebug> …architectural style that would really be recognized immediately, but one that is well known in the area. It uses a great deal of alternating light and dark stone to give an increased illusion of size, and makes use of lots of heavily detailed wood trim near doorways and the like. Lots of narrow hallways and tall windows, as well as large, circular floorplans. The roofs of all the…
[2015-05-14 20:23:11] <Wogglebug> …buildings are very close together, and you could likely get from one to the other easily.
[2015-05-14 20:23:27] <Wogglebug> Alim and Danielle, academics.
[2015-05-14 20:23:35] <gumbal1> 4df+3 books

[2015-05-14 20:25:28] <Wogglebug> The University at Banganash is a very large complex of buildings in the middle of the business district of the city. It was founded around 1680 when the city was first populated, at that time a simple tower for the area’s wizards to meet and discuss matters of trade (mostly just who was blowing up what where and when). After some time as a simple meeting place, a mage who had faced defeat in…
[2015-05-14 20:25:28] <Wogglebug> …a war decided that it would serve as an ideal university, due to the area making it very difficult to attack. It has since evolved into one of the foremost centers of magical academic pursuit in the world, favored for its remote location (which makes live-fire testing much easier) and cold climate (which makes students stay indoors and study). The school has an academic population of…
[2015-05-14 20:25:28] <Wogglebug> …about 300 students of various magical pursuits, as well as about 50 fully fledged mages, along with a few hundred assorted staff.
[2015-05-14 20:25:28] <Wogglebug> The university is currently run by the Dean, archmage Roc Hammerstorm. Hammerstorm handles most of the business administration for the school, and decides university policy, as well as handles anything that gets too out of hand within the school or the local area. There are a great many powerful mages who either work or continue their studies at the school, most of whom aren’t particularly…
[2015-05-14 20:25:28] <Wogglebug> …important. It is worth noting that the archmage Nadu lives and works at the university, teaching golemancy, as well as the occasional philosophy or history course. He also provides the service of a small army of golems and other automata to the university.
[2015-05-14 20:25:34] <Wogglebug> You both discover the above.
[2015-05-14 20:26:19] <Wogglebug> About the city itself, you know that it's a large trading port in an arctic region, in which there is a currently ongoing military coup against Imperial interests from the South.
[2015-05-14 20:26:39] <Wogglebug> The technological level is previctorian, but there's loads of magic used everywhere.
[2015-05-14 20:27:44] <Wogglebug> With those preparations made, you all find yourself at the west-most gate to the city, equipped with a map that should lead you to the university at the center of town. What is everyone wearing to the gala?
[2015-05-14 20:28:25] <TesKin|Phone> Alim wears his stock standard three piece suit. Brown with a blue tie
[2015-05-14 20:29:21] <gumbal1> Danielle wears a suit. Her tie is grey.
[2015-05-14 20:30:08] <DiePotato> Isa's wearing the best elegant wear she could find in her closet. Which is composed of a nice black dress. She wears her silver pendant and a minimal amount of makeup.
[2015-05-14 20:30:14] <Wogglebug> It's about sundown, and the city is relatively quiet.
[2015-05-14 20:30:39] <Wogglebug> The guards at the gate, who've just waved you by, seem somewhat bored.
[2015-05-14 20:30:58] <Wogglebug> The streets are free of snow and slush, which is a rarity.
[2015-05-14 20:31:04] <Wogglebug> The cobbles look very clean.
[2015-05-14 20:31:24] <Wogglebug> You can do whatever you like.
[2015-05-14 20:31:34] <TesKin|Phone> Alim offers Dainelle his arm. "Shall we?"
[2015-05-14 20:31:38] <Complete_Zero> Jack wears a black thin wool coat and fedora. Underneath his coat is a red t-shirt. On his right hand he wears a black glove.
[2015-05-14 20:32:04] <DiePotato> Isa looks at Jack unimpressed. "This is a gala Jackie."
[2015-05-14 20:32:30] <gumbal1> "Sure." Danielle takes the arm. "I don't believe I've met you, however."
[2015-05-14 20:32:54] <TesKin|Phone> "I am Alim Fakhoury. Pleased to meet you."
[2015-05-14 20:32:59] <Complete_Zero> "I don't exactly have a wide range of clothing…"
[2015-05-14 20:33:18] <Wogglebug> Jack, it occurs to you that you could theoretically stop and obtain something from a shop.
[2015-05-14 20:33:24] <gumbal1> "Danielle Levine."
[2015-05-14 20:33:47] <Complete_Zero> Most likely, they have a different form of currency?
[2015-05-14 20:33:51] <DiePotato> Isa sighs
[2015-05-14 20:33:57] <Wogglebug> They do.
[2015-05-14 20:34:09] <TesKin|Phone> "It has been a long time since I've been to a gala."
[2015-05-14 20:34:33] <Complete_Zero> Can transactions be made or does Jack need to do his thing?
[2015-05-14 20:34:49] <Wogglebug> Who knows.
[2015-05-14 20:35:14] <Wogglebug> You can try to do whatever you like.
[2015-05-14 20:35:21] <Complete_Zero> Jack walks into the nearby clothing shop.
[2015-05-14 20:35:24] <Wogglebug> Eventually, you'll want to actually get to the party, of course.
[2015-05-14 20:35:28] <Wogglebug> Jack, roll perception.
[2015-05-14 20:35:33] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4
[2015-05-14 20:35:33] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: 5 (4df+4=0, 4- , 3+ , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 20:35:55] <Wogglebug> You find a nice little tailor's. It's not the most upscale thing, but they could probably do a decent suit.
[2015-05-14 20:36:48] <Complete_Zero> Is there a clerk in sight?
[2015-05-14 20:37:10] <Wogglebug> Yup. Little old dude behind a counter.
[2015-05-14 20:37:14] <Wogglebug> He's got pointy ears.
[2015-05-14 20:37:23] <Wogglebug> Pretty normal looking though, on the whole.
[2015-05-14 20:37:33] <Complete_Zero> "Hello, sir!" Jack grabs his attention
[2015-05-14 20:38:13] <Wogglebug> "Hello. How may I help you?"
[2015-05-14 20:38:27] <Wogglebug> Does everyone else wait outside, or do they go and do something else, or what?
[2015-05-14 20:38:57] <gumbal1> Danielle waits outside.
[2015-05-14 20:39:00] <DiePotato> Isa follows him hiking up her dress to keep up.
[2015-05-14 20:39:12] <TesKin|Phone> "Shall we head to the event Miss Lavine?"
[2015-05-14 20:39:32] <Complete_Zero> "Did you make these pieces of clothing yourself?"
[2015-05-14 20:39:42] <Wogglebug> "No. I just work here."
[2015-05-14 20:40:26] <Wogglebug> "Do you want to buy something or what?"
[2015-05-14 20:40:29] <Complete_Zero> "Is there any chance I can buy anything with this?" Jack shows some sawbucks, American money.
[2015-05-14 20:40:39] <gumbal1> "I see no reason not too."
[2015-05-14 20:41:01] <TesKin|Phone> Alim nods, heading off to the gala.
[2015-05-14 20:41:07] <Wogglebug> He looks at it. "I guess. Can get it changed. Have to charge extra, of course, to cover the moneychanger's fee."
[2015-05-14 20:41:15] <gumbal1> Danielle does so as well.
[2015-05-14 20:41:24] <Wogglebug> You head off to the gala!
[2015-05-14 20:41:32] <Wogglebug> Roll perception or survival to follow the map.
[2015-05-14 20:41:55] <DiePotato> Isa crosses her arms while she waits for Jack.

[2015-05-14 20:42:05] <Wogglebug> You follow the living hell out of that map.
[2015-05-14 20:42:18] <Wogglebug> It leads you further into the city, towards the center of town.

[2015-05-14 20:42:51] <Wogglebug> Eveutually, you can make out a large black wall up ahead. That's probably the school.
[2015-05-14 20:43:46] <TesKin|Phone> "I believe that is where we are going."
[2015-05-14 20:43:52] <Complete_Zero> "Alright, what can I buy with… this much?" He shows about 100 dollars.
[2015-05-14 20:44:03] <gumbal1> "Let's head in, then. Hopefully the others can catch up."
[2015-05-14 20:44:26] <TesKin|Phone> "Yes. Let us go."
[2015-05-14 20:44:28] <Wogglebug> Jack buys a suit. It's nice enough. He is shooed out of the shop afterwards.
[2015-05-14 20:44:33] <TesKin|Phone> Alim starts in.
[2015-05-14 20:44:44] <Wogglebug> There's a large gate in the wall, Alim.
[2015-05-14 20:44:53] <DiePotato> Isa follows Jack. "Let's go now that you actually look decent Jackie."
[2015-05-14 20:45:02] <Wogglebug> It's made of a white-colored iron-like metal.
[2015-05-14 20:45:10] <Complete_Zero> "Alright, alright…"
[2015-05-14 20:45:26] <Wogglebug> There are two huge golems guarding it, each about nine feet tall and somewhat intimidating.
[2015-05-14 20:45:39] <Wogglebug> Roll perception, if you look harder at the gate.

[2015-05-14 20:46:00] <DiePotato> She loops an arm around him and drags him towards him to the gala area
[2015-05-14 20:46:22] <gumbal1> "Hello. How's Prague nowadays?"

[2015-05-14 20:47:11] <Wogglebug> There are more golem-shaped things around the gate, just out of sight. They're invisible, maybe? Hard to look at where they should be for very long.
[2015-05-14 20:47:26] <Wogglebug> You make it there, at a breakneck pace. You meet with the others at the gate.

[2015-05-14 20:48:38] <Wogglebug> You have a map, but no actual invitation.
[2015-05-14 20:48:48] <DiePotato> "…"
[2015-05-14 20:49:09] <Complete_Zero> How about Jack?
[2015-05-14 20:49:12] <Wogglebug> The golem just stares at you all.
[2015-05-14 20:49:16] <Wogglebug> Nada, Jack.
[2015-05-14 20:49:22] <Wogglebug> It's very imposing.

[2015-05-14 20:50:23] <Wogglebug> It looks down at Isa.
[2015-05-14 20:50:28] <Complete_Zero> "I don't have anything…"
[2015-05-14 20:50:50] <Complete_Zero> "Alim?"
[2015-05-14 20:51:04] <Wogglebug> "ALIM WHAT"

[2015-05-14 20:51:54] <Wogglebug> "CREDENTIAL REJECTED. CREDENTIAL IN USE."
[2015-05-14 20:52:00] <Complete_Zero> Jacks stomach drops to the floor…
[2015-05-14 20:52:22] <DiePotato> Isa looks to the rest. "C'mon."
[2015-05-14 20:52:40] <Complete_Zero> "Isa… do you have anything?"
[2015-05-14 20:52:45] <Wogglebug> "ISA WHAT"
[2015-05-14 20:52:48] <gumbal1> "We're…for the Foundaton. I had assumed the management had provided us with the necessary credentials."
[2015-05-14 20:52:58] <Wogglebug> "CHECKING"
[2015-05-14 20:53:01] <DiePotato> Isa looks back to the golem. "Isa… Re?"
[2015-05-14 20:53:08] <Wogglebug> "CREDENTIAL ACCEPTED. PLEASE ENTER."
[2015-05-14 20:53:11] <Wogglebug> It moves to the side.
[2015-05-14 20:53:18] <Complete_Zero> "Huh…"
[2015-05-14 20:53:19] <gumbal1> Danielle enters.
[2015-05-14 20:53:21] <DiePotato> "Wow."
[2015-05-14 20:53:23] <Wogglebug> Something inside its chest cavity makes a slight ding.
[2015-05-14 20:53:42] <DiePotato> Isa drags Jack in by his arm.
[2015-05-14 20:53:49] <Complete_Zero> Jack is dragged…
[2015-05-14 20:54:30] <Wogglebug> Inside the gate is a large courtyard. There are tall buildings about the place, and a fountain in the center. There are a few people going into the tallest of the buildings, directly across.
[2015-05-14 20:54:44] <Wogglebug> It's a very large, stone structure, with intricate carvings all over it.
[2015-05-14 20:54:57] <Complete_Zero> Jack whispers to Isa, "I'm going to follow your lead, my mouth tends to get me into trouble… and you seem to handle this better than me."
[2015-05-14 20:55:02] <gumbal1> 4df+3 (ACAD) But what do the carvings mean?
[2015-05-14 20:55:03] <Glacon> gumbal1: (ACAD) But what do the carvings mean?: 4 (4df+3=0, 3+ , 4- , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 20:55:17] <DiePotato> Isa pats his cheek. "Just stay pretty dollface."
[2015-05-14 20:55:39] <Wogglebug> Mostly they're just generic sort of geometric designs, but a few of them seem to reference various minor deities from a great number of religions.
[2015-05-14 20:55:42] <Complete_Zero> He smiles, "Thanks, it's what I do."
[2015-05-14 20:56:17] <gumbal1> ~pagans~
[2015-05-14 20:56:24] <Wogglebug> The door to the large building across the courtyard opens and closes as someone enters.
[2015-05-14 20:56:36] <Wogglebug> It's one of those smaller doors cut out of a larger door.
[2015-05-14 20:56:59] <DiePotato> "I really need to learn about this place. It's quite amazing."
[2015-05-14 20:57:15] <Complete_Zero> "I'll say…"
[2015-05-14 20:58:07] <DiePotato> 4df+5 (ENGI) How do these wonderous mechanisms work?
[2015-05-14 20:58:07] <Glacon> DiePotato: (ENGI) How do these wonderous mechanisms work?: 6 (4df+5=0, 4- , 3+ , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 20:58:30] <Wogglebug> It's just a door. As though the larger door were a wall, sort of thing.
[2015-05-14 20:58:53] <DiePotato> Isa shrugs. Anything here could be CYANCE
[2015-05-14 20:58:56] <Wogglebug> You're currently standing in the courtyard. The fountain bubbles nicely.
[2015-05-14 20:59:08] <Wogglebug> You can make a plan before you head in, or just charge away.
[2015-05-14 20:59:09] <gumbal1> Danielle enters the biggun.
[2015-05-14 20:59:35] <TesKin|Phone> Alim follows after Dani.
[2015-05-14 20:59:46] <DiePotato> Isa drags Jack in. Who needs plans?
[2015-05-14 20:59:49] <Wogglebug> Danielle enters the building through the larger door, after a bit of a struggle to push it open.
[2015-05-14 20:59:59] <Wogglebug> You find yourself in a very large hall.
[2015-05-14 21:00:26] <Wogglebug> The ceiling is huge and vaulted, made of a lightly colorer, slightly marbles stone.
[2015-05-14 21:01:06] <Wogglebug> There's a massive glowing chandelier hanging from it.
[2015-05-14 21:01:26] <Wogglebug> The room is populated by a great many people, as well as a great many tables at which some are seated.
[2015-05-14 21:01:47] <Wogglebug> There are a few openings among the tables for dancing and the like, as well as some tables loaded over with food.
[2015-05-14 21:02:00] <DiePotato> "Hmm…" Isa thinks for a moment.
[2015-05-14 21:02:01] <Wogglebug> In the center of the room a long, low table sits.
[2015-05-14 21:02:09] <Complete_Zero> "This place is very beautiful…"
[2015-05-14 21:02:21] <Wogglebug> There are many people - human and nonhuman alike- chatting and dancing and generally having a good time.
[2015-05-14 21:02:43] <Wogglebug> Strange automatons, likely some form of golems, walk about the place serving people.
[2015-05-14 21:02:56] <TesKin|Phone> "Well. Let's dance."
[2015-05-14 21:03:04] <Wogglebug> Everyone roll mdef, for some things going on in the background.
[2015-05-14 21:03:11] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4
[2015-05-14 21:03:11] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: 4 (4df+4= 4- , 3+ , 3+ , 4- )
[2015-05-14 21:03:13] <DiePotato> 4df+4
[2015-05-14 21:03:14] <Glacon> DiePotato: 6 (4df+4= 3+ , 0, 0, 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:03:24] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+3
[2015-05-14 21:03:24] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: 6 (4df+3= 3+ , 3+ , 3+ , 0)
[2015-05-14 21:03:26] <gumbal1> 4df+4 "Nice place here."
[2015-05-14 21:03:27] <Glacon> gumbal1: "Nice place here.": 5 (4df+4=0, 0, 0, 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:03:45] <Wogglebug> Alright. That'll just determine a few things with some characters, and how you see them.
[2015-05-14 21:04:30] <Wogglebug> You can roll perception, if you'd like to look for something or someone in particular, or to find where something is.
[2015-05-14 21:04:42] <Wogglebug> People are just milling about in general.
[2015-05-14 21:04:46] <DiePotato> ~Could find that Bore guy. He was boring as hell though~
[2015-05-14 21:04:48] <Wogglebug> It's a party, after all.
[2015-05-14 21:05:24] <gumbal1> 4df+4 (PERC) Are aliens real?
[2015-05-14 21:05:25] <Glacon> gumbal1: (PERC) Are aliens real?: 3 (4df+4= 4- , 0, 4- , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:05:32] <DiePotato> "We should try to find someone important." Isa whispers to Jack. "Their favor will help."
[2015-05-14 21:05:33] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4 Jack examines the architecture, looking for places to climb.
[2015-05-14 21:05:34] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: Jack examines the architecture, looking for places to climb.: 5 (4df+4= 3+ , 0, 4- , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:05:49] <Wogglebug> You see a few people who are definitely not human. That guy there is seven feet tall and made of rocks.
[2015-05-14 21:06:08] <Wogglebug> You couldn't climb much on the interior of the room, Jack.
[2015-05-14 21:06:11] <Complete_Zero> "Good idea…" He replies
[2015-05-14 21:06:14] <gumbal1> 4df+4 (PERC) Also is bigfoot real.
[2015-05-14 21:06:14] <Wogglebug> It's all very sheer.
[2015-05-14 21:06:14] <Glacon> gumbal1: (PERC) Also is bigfoot real.: 4 (4df+4= 4- , 4- , 3+ , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:06:34] <DiePotato> "Look around. I'll try searching for people too."
[2015-05-14 21:06:37] <Wogglebug> There's a guy over there covered from head to foot in fur. He's not especially tall, but he looks pretty brawny.
[2015-05-14 21:06:54] <DiePotato> 4df+3 (PERC) Important peeps?
[2015-05-14 21:06:54] <Glacon> DiePotato: (PERC) Important peeps?: 4 (4df+3= 4- , 0, 3+ , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:07:00] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+8 (SNK + TOTT) Alim tries to slip into the crowd and gleen some info.
[2015-05-14 21:07:00] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: (SNK + TOTT) Alim tries to slip into the crowd and gleen some info.: 11 (4df+8=0, 3+ , 3+ , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:07:35] <gumbal1> Danielle gets excited. She goes over to the hairy one.
[2015-05-14 21:07:47] <Wogglebug> There's a man at the head of the long table, very short and broad, who looks to be that Roc guy. He's obviously roaring drunk, and being swamped by people. They're four or five deep around him. He looks to be telling some sort of story.
[2015-05-14 21:08:00] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4 any others?
[2015-05-14 21:08:00] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: any others?: 5 (4df+4=0, 3+ , 0, 0)
[2015-05-14 21:08:47] <Wogglebug> Alim, rumor has it that Roc is set up to be the next Beloved of Kar, whatever that is. Someone says that all the people near him are just kissing ass. He doesn't look especially happy.
[2015-05-14 21:09:22] <Wogglebug> Jack, you see a man who is dressed in extremely shiny heavy plate armor. He looks to be shouting joyfully at a small man in a suit.
[2015-05-14 21:09:45] <gumbal1> Danielle approaches bigfoot. "Hello."
[2015-05-14 21:09:54] <Complete_Zero> ~Hm, likely a war figure…~
[2015-05-14 21:09:57] <DiePotato> "I see a guy telling stories, what about you?" She asks Jack
[2015-05-14 21:10:15] <Wogglebug> He looks up from the punch bowl. "Yello. And just who might you be?" He extends a hairy mit.
[2015-05-14 21:10:22] <TesKin|Phone> Alim scribbles this down into a notepad, sliping off to try and get some more info.
[2015-05-14 21:10:28] <gumbal1> She tries to hide her excitement. "Danielle Levine. You?"
[2015-05-14 21:10:39] <Complete_Zero> "Over there, looks like a militant figure, in the armor."
[2015-05-14 21:10:57] <Wogglebug> "Just Bore. You liking the party?"
[2015-05-14 21:11:52] <DiePotato> "Hmm… Who do you want, Armor or Storyteller?"
[2015-05-14 21:11:56] <Wogglebug> Roll for information gathering if you like, Alim.
[2015-05-14 21:12:21] <gumbal1> "It's pretty good. More lively than many I've been to."
[2015-05-14 21:12:30] <gumbal1> "Then again, I don't travel here often."
[2015-05-14 21:12:56] <Wogglebug> "Yeah, loads of fun. Roc sure can throw one. Where are ya from? One of the outlying towns?"
[2015-05-14 21:13:08] <Complete_Zero> "I'll take the storyteller… I definitely don't want to piss off a general or summat."
[2015-05-14 21:13:28] <DiePotato> "Fine. Don't say anything stupid." Isa moves towards armor man
[2015-05-14 21:13:34] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+8 (SNK + TOTT) Sweet, sweet information.
[2015-05-14 21:13:35] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: (SNK + TOTT) Sweet, sweet information.: 7 (4df+8= 4- , 3+ , 4- , 0)
[2015-05-14 21:13:44] <gumbal1> "I live in a small place in Upstate New York. I'm from…Dijon, originally. You?"
[2015-05-14 21:14:31] <Complete_Zero> Jack walks over to the storyteller.
[2015-05-14 21:14:39] <Wogglebug> Apparently Nadu is at the party, but no one can seem to find him. Someone thinks he's probably hanging from the rafters somewhere, the creepy fuck. They say this very quietly.
[2015-05-14 21:15:23] <Wogglebug> Bore: "Ehh? New York, that's a new one. I'm just from 'ere. Banganash, pride of Nurtlend, ehh?"
[2015-05-14 21:15:54] <Wogglebug> You can't seem to get very close to him, Jack. The press of people around him is intense. If you roll percep you might hear what he's talking about.
[2015-05-14 21:16:13] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4 watchu talkin' bout?
[2015-05-14 21:16:13] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: watchu talkin' bout?: 1 (4df+4= 4- , 4- , 4- , 0)
[2015-05-14 21:16:20] <Complete_Zero> (…)
[2015-05-14 21:16:23] <Wogglebug> Isa, he's telling the man in the suit something very loudly. It involves a griffon, or something.
[2015-05-14 21:16:36] <Wogglebug> You just hear lots of laughter and a fart or two, Jack.
[2015-05-14 21:17:13] <DiePotato> 4df+3 (PERC) To try and get some context about thif griffon
[2015-05-14 21:17:13] <Glacon> DiePotato: (PERC) To try and get some context about thif griffon: 2 (4df+3= 3+ , 4- , 4- , 0)
[2015-05-14 21:17:15] <DiePotato> *this
[2015-05-14 21:17:26] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4 looking for a hole in the crowd…
[2015-05-14 21:17:26] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: looking for a hole in the crowd…: 4 (4df+4= 3+ , 3+ , 4- , 4- )
[2015-05-14 21:17:48] <Wogglebug> Apparently they can't seem to agree on whether he slew one or rode it into the sunset. The man in the suit seems very bored of the story, but won't admit defeat.
[2015-05-14 21:18:06] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+5 (PERC) An Assassin's greatest weapon is his eyes. Alim looks for Nadu.
[2015-05-14 21:18:07] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: (PERC) An Assassin's greatest weapon is his eyes. Alim looks for Nadu.: 7 (4df+5= 3+ , 4- , 3+ , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:18:14] <gumbal1> "Banganesh is nice. Back in New York, we don't get nearly as much diversity."
[2015-05-14 21:18:14] <Wogglebug> You could get slightly closer Jack, but there are just tons of people around this guy.
[2015-05-14 21:18:48] <TesKin|Phone> (Shit, add 4 to that. Nadu is hiding, right?
[2015-05-14 21:18:51] <TesKin|Phone> )
[2015-05-14 21:18:54] <Wogglebug> He's not hiding.
[2015-05-14 21:18:57] <Complete_Zero> can I roll to see what he's saying again?
[2015-05-14 21:19:01] <Wogglebug> Alim doesn't really know what Nadu looks like, on account of nobody at the Foundation actually knows. He doesn't find himm.
[2015-05-14 21:19:08] <TesKin|Phone> (Nvm then)
[2015-05-14 21:19:09] <Wogglebug> Sure, Jack.
[2015-05-14 21:19:27] <TesKin|Phone> Alim asks around for a description of Nadu.
[2015-05-14 21:19:36] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4 Listening
[2015-05-14 21:19:36] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: Listening: 3 (4df+4= 4- , 0, 0, 0)
[2015-05-14 21:19:40] <DiePotato> Isa elegantly walks over to armor guy. "Hello there handsome."
[2015-05-14 21:19:41] <Wogglebug> Who does he ask?
[2015-05-14 21:20:07] <TesKin|Phone> Roc if he can.
[2015-05-14 21:20:34] <Wogglebug> He looks at her. He's about to speak, but the man in the suit slaps a hand over his mouth. He speaks. "Hello. I am Don. This is Hera. Please do not seduce him."
[2015-05-14 21:21:18] <DiePotato> "…" Isa raises an eyebrow. "Why?"
[2015-05-14 21:21:21] <Wogglebug> Hera pulls the other man's hand away. "HERAPICLUTIS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, YOUNG WOMAN."
[2015-05-14 21:21:30] <Wogglebug> He is the shoutiest person on the face of the earth.
[2015-05-14 21:21:48] <Wogglebug> Don: "Because the last time that happened I couldn't find him for a month."
[2015-05-14 21:22:01] <DiePotato> "…" ~I don't even want to know~
[2015-05-14 21:22:05] <Wogglebug> Roc seems to be swarmed with people. You might get through with high enough agility.
[2015-05-14 21:22:29] <Wogglebug> Jack, he's talking about a story in which he either slew a thunder dragon or slew something else /with/ a thunder dragon.
[2015-05-14 21:22:46] <Wogglebug> Bore: "Where is that, New York?"
[2015-05-14 21:23:01] <DiePotato> "Well my name is Isa. It's a pleasure to meet you both." She curtsies
[2015-05-14 21:23:13] <Wogglebug> Hera nods. Don just sort of nods.
[2015-05-14 21:23:36] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+4 (AGI) Alim tries to slip through the crowd.
[2015-05-14 21:23:38] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: (AGI) Alim tries to slip through the crowd.: 3 (4df+4=0, 0, 0, 4- )
[2015-05-14 21:23:59] <Wogglebug> You don't make it through. You trod on someone's foot and they give you a funny look.
[2015-05-14 21:24:18] <gumbal1> "The United States. I don't believe it's in the same dimension as this one."
[2015-05-14 21:24:27] <DiePotato> ~Talkative bunch~ "Amazing gala huh?" She edges closer to Don.
[2015-05-14 21:24:30] <Wogglebug> "Ahh, one of those, then. Who are you here with, then?"
[2015-05-14 21:24:40] <Wogglebug> "Young lady like yourself all by… herself?"
[2015-05-14 21:24:54] <Wogglebug> Don: "Quite."
[2015-05-14 21:25:04] <Wogglebug> Hera: "GREAT, HUH?"
[2015-05-14 21:25:43] <TesKin|Phone> "My apologies." He slips back out of the crowd, looking for another way to Roc, or another person to talk to.
[2015-05-14 21:25:47] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4 Jack attempts to slip through the crowd.
[2015-05-14 21:25:47] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: Jack attempts to slip through the crowd.: 3 (4df+4= 3+ , 0, 4- , 4- )
[2015-05-14 21:25:59] <DiePotato> ~…Need to try and make why way into their circles~ "So! What do you two do?" She smiles.
[2015-05-14 21:26:05] <Wogglebug> Roll perception, Alim.
[2015-05-14 21:26:22] <Wogglebug> You don't make it through, Jack.
[2015-05-14 21:26:39] <Wogglebug> It seems that a mass of people isn't very easy to get through without inciting a brawl.
[2015-05-14 21:26:46] <Complete_Zero> ~This is one tough crowd… literally.~
[2015-05-14 21:27:01] <Complete_Zero> Jack backs himself out.
[2015-05-14 21:27:04] <Wogglebug> Don: "So. What brings you here tonight."
[2015-05-14 21:27:08] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+5 (PERC)
[2015-05-14 21:27:08] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: (PERC): 7 (4df+5=0, 3+ , 3+ , 0)
[2015-05-14 21:27:11] <gumbal1> "The Foundation. We were invited following some public service."
[2015-05-14 21:27:24] <Wogglebug> That guy over by the punchbowl just slipped something into it, Alim!
[2015-05-14 21:27:51] <Wogglebug> Don: "Ah. Right. You know Miss Tande?"
[2015-05-14 21:28:21] <DiePotato> "Oh just trying to meet new people." She smiles at Hera.
[2015-05-14 21:28:25] <DiePotato> ~Creep~
[2015-05-14 21:28:30] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+8 (SNK + TOTT) Alim tries to slip over behind Punch Posioner.
[2015-05-14 21:28:31] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: (SNK + TOTT) Alim tries to slip over behind Punch Posioner.: 8 (4df+8=0, 0, 0, 0)
[2015-05-14 21:29:32] <Wogglebug> You slip up behind him. He looks to be in his mid twenties, with semi shabby robes and a wrinkled hat.
[2015-05-14 21:29:46] <Wogglebug> Redact Don's last line, I got mixed up.
[2015-05-14 21:29:54] <gumbal1> "I'm thirsty. I think I'll go get some punch. Be back in a bit."
[2015-05-14 21:29:57] <Wogglebug> Don: "Huh. Well, this is the place for it."
[2015-05-14 21:30:05] <gumbal1> Danielle goes to get a cup of punch.
[2015-05-14 21:30:10] <DiePotato> "What do you do for a living?"
[2015-05-14 21:30:13] <DiePotato> Isa asks Don
[2015-05-14 21:30:17] <Wogglebug> Bore waves weakly as she leaves.
[2015-05-14 21:30:19] <TesKin|Phone> "Excuse me sir, I do not think the punch needs any seasonings."
[2015-05-14 21:30:33] <Complete_Zero> ~Alright, fine… you win.~ Jack taps on someones shoulder, grabbing their attention.
[2015-05-14 21:30:38] <Wogglebug> Danielle, Alim is there, near some guy.
[2015-05-14 21:30:54] <gumbal1> Danielle waits in line for the punch.
[2015-05-14 21:31:14] <Wogglebug> Don: "Adventurers for hire. He breaks things, I stab them. You know."
[2015-05-14 21:31:19] <Wogglebug> Hera nods emphatically.
[2015-05-14 21:31:42] <DiePotato> "That sounds thrilling! I myself am an engineer."
[2015-05-14 21:31:45] <Wogglebug> Punch Guy: "Come on man, this party's lame. It needs to loosen up a bit."
[2015-05-14 21:32:09] <Wogglebug> A fat man in a robe turns to Jack, questioningly.
[2015-05-14 21:32:09] <TesKin|Phone> "If you contiune doing what you are doing I will end you."
[2015-05-14 21:32:24] <Wogglebug> The guy just sort of stares you down, Alim.
[2015-05-14 21:32:30] <gumbal1> "Is something wrong?"
[2015-05-14 21:32:33] <Wogglebug> He laughs and shakes his head, then walks off.
[2015-05-14 21:33:19] <TesKin|Phone> Alim's face is blank. He slides up next to Dani and leans close to her. "That man put something in the punch."
[2015-05-14 21:33:38] <gumbal1> "…damn."
[2015-05-14 21:33:45] <gumbal1> Danielle heads back to Bore.
[2015-05-14 21:33:47] <Wogglebug> Alim, a tall, thin man in a suit comes over to you. "Has Mr. Karmac been spiking the punch again?"
[2015-05-14 21:33:55] <Wogglebug> His voice is a hoarse whisper.
[2015-05-14 21:34:09] <TesKin|Phone> "I believe so."
[2015-05-14 21:34:16] <Wogglebug> Hera: "WHAT DO YOU ENGINEER? SHIPS?"
[2015-05-14 21:34:23] <Complete_Zero> "Excuse me… could you by any chance tell me what he's talking about?" He points to the storyteller.
[2015-05-14 21:34:35] <DiePotato> "Weapons." Isa says. She's still smiling
[2015-05-14 21:34:42] <Wogglebug> Hoarse Guy: "I suppose someone will need to have a word with him, then. Such a trouble maker."
[2015-05-14 21:35:11] <Wogglebug> Fat Guy: "Who knows. All I know is he's hosting the party, and when the host laughs you laugh."
[2015-05-14 21:35:19] <Wogglebug> Don: "What sort?"
[2015-05-14 21:35:39] <Wogglebug> Danielle, Bore is sitting at a table now, having some sort of roasted meat.
[2015-05-14 21:35:50] <Wogglebug> He's a messy eater, and all the hair doesn't help.
[2015-05-14 21:35:53] <Complete_Zero> ~Host, huh?~ "Thank you!"
[2015-05-14 21:35:58] <TesKin|Phone> Alim nods. "Yes. May I ask for your name?"
[2015-05-14 21:36:06] <DiePotato> "Mostly firearms and the like. I can understand heavier arms like cannons and the like passingly."
[2015-05-14 21:36:24] <Complete_Zero> ~I need to get his attention…~
[2015-05-14 21:36:25] <Wogglebug> Hoarse Guy: "Jeoffrie DuBois. And yours?"
[2015-05-14 21:36:36] <TesKin|Phone> "Alim."
[2015-05-14 21:36:36] <Complete_Zero> ~Or somehow get by the crowd.~
[2015-05-14 21:36:52] <Wogglebug> Don: "Firearms? Now there's a niche. You know the elf guy down at the mine?"
[2015-05-14 21:37:18] <Wogglebug> DeBis extends a hand. It's wrinkled, and gnarled. "A pleasure."
[2015-05-14 21:37:27] <Wogglebug> DuBois
[2015-05-14 21:37:37] <DiePotato> "I don't believe I do!"
[2015-05-14 21:38:18] <Wogglebug> Don: "Huh. He's pretty good, that one. Hear he makes more cannons than firearms, though."
[2015-05-14 21:38:34] <TesKin|Phone> Alim shakes. "Can you tell me what Nadu looks like? I have been looking for them for the whole night."
[2015-05-14 21:38:55] <gumbal1> Danielle sits with Bore. "Don't drink the punch. Someone spiked it."
[2015-05-14 21:39:33] <Wogglebug> His hand is extremely cold. "I hear he's an old crow, who hangs from ceilings and strings up children. They say his eyes are like endless pits, and they only lead down."
[2015-05-14 21:39:56] <Wogglebug> He laughs slightly. It's a weird sound. Very shallow.
[2015-05-14 21:40:08] <Wogglebug> Bore nods. "Karmac again?"
[2015-05-14 21:40:31] <gumbal1> "I don't know, I'm new here."
[2015-05-14 21:40:49] <Complete_Zero> Can Jack try and slip into the crowd using his spec to distract them?
[2015-05-14 21:40:57] <Wogglebug> Bore shrugs. "Probably him. We should have that trial, some time. Never can seem to get around to it."
[2015-05-14 21:41:01] <DiePotato> "Huh. I'll have to meet him some time." Isa sighs. "In the meantime, why don't you two tell me a tale?"
[2015-05-14 21:41:23] <Wogglebug> Jack could try.
[2015-05-14 21:41:28] <gumbal1> "Trial?"
[2015-05-14 21:42:04] <TesKin|Phone> "Intresting. Thank you."
[2015-05-14 21:42:08] <Complete_Zero> 4df+8 He tries once again, this time with trickery…
[2015-05-14 21:42:08] <Wogglebug> Bore: "He did the same thing last year. And the year before. It's technically illegal, but we never bothered setting a court date for it. I don't really know why."
[2015-05-14 21:42:09] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: He tries once again, this time with trickery…: 8 (4df+8=0, 0, 3+ , 4- )
[2015-05-14 21:42:20] <Wogglebug> 4df+10
[2015-05-14 21:42:21] <Glacon> Wogglebug: 13 (4df+10= 3+ , 3+ , 0, 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:42:44] <Complete_Zero> (For fucks sake xD)
[2015-05-14 21:42:47] <Wogglebug> A set of mechanical eyes is watching you, Jack.
[2015-05-14 21:43:03] <Wogglebug> You probably shouldn't pick any pockets with those golems around.
[2015-05-14 21:43:23] <Complete_Zero> He backs off… quickly.
[2015-05-14 21:43:54] <gumbal1> "Ah."
[2015-05-14 21:44:10] <Wogglebug> Hera regales Isa with a tale of adventure and heroism, in which he insults someone named Brother a few times. Don interjects repeatedly, in ways that make Hera out to be much less impressive.
[2015-05-14 21:44:12] <Complete_Zero> "Shit…"
[2015-05-14 21:45:31] <Wogglebug> The man looks down at you, Alim. "So, who are you here with, Mr. Fakhoury?"
[2015-05-14 21:45:32] <DiePotato> ~Big one puts the small one down.~
[2015-05-14 21:45:58] <Complete_Zero> ~I'm not getting any success whatsoever…~
[2015-05-14 21:46:03] <TesKin|Phone> "One Miss Lavine."
[2015-05-14 21:46:07] <Wogglebug> He's very gaunt. He's black, but his skin is more of a dark grey.
[2015-05-14 21:46:29] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+5 (PERC) Nadu where are you?
[2015-05-14 21:46:30] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: (PERC) Nadu where are you?: 6 (4df+5= 4- , 0, 3+ , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:46:39] <Wogglebug> DuBois: "Ahh. So, the Foundation, then. Very interesting."
[2015-05-14 21:46:48] <Wogglebug> You don't see any crows about the place, Alim.
[2015-05-14 21:47:06] <Wogglebug> Alim, roll perception.
[2015-05-14 21:47:16] <DiePotato> "You two sound like you live quite the lives." She looks up to Don. "You probably help the most don't you?"
[2015-05-14 21:47:36] <TesKin|Phone> (Again?)
[2015-05-14 21:47:43] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+5
[2015-05-14 21:47:43] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: 5 (4df+5= 4- , 0, 0, 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:47:52] <Wogglebug> Don looks at her nonplussed. "Not really. Brothor does most of the heavy lifting."
[2015-05-14 21:48:04] <Wogglebug> You never told that guy your last name, Alim.
[2015-05-14 21:48:08] <Complete_Zero> Jack walks over to Isa, careful not to interrupt the conversation.
[2015-05-14 21:48:12] <DiePotato> "Brothor?"
[2015-05-14 21:48:28] <Wogglebug> "The third member of our merry band. Couldn't be here. Obligations."
[2015-05-14 21:48:31] <TesKin|Phone> "How do you know my last name?"
[2015-05-14 21:48:35] <Wogglebug> "HE HAD A DATE."
[2015-05-14 21:49:18] <DiePotato> "Oh. That is too bad."
[2015-05-14 21:49:25] <Wogglebug> DuBois shrugs. "It's just a name. There are so many Alim's at this party, I'm sure. Names aren't terribly important."
[2015-05-14 21:49:38] <Wogglebug> You arrive behind Isa somewhere, Jack.
[2015-05-14 21:50:13] <Wogglebug> Bore continues to eat messily, Danielle. "So, uh. What's the weather like, in Newark?"
[2015-05-14 21:50:14] <TesKin|Phone> "The fact that you know mine without my telling you is."
[2015-05-14 21:50:40] <gumbal1> "Cold, mostly."
[2015-05-14 21:51:02] <Wogglebug> He shrugs again, Alim. "You're the only one on the guest list, that's all. Not hard to figure it out. No need to worry."
[2015-05-14 21:51:06] <Complete_Zero> He hangs back, not wanting to interrupt, but waits patiently to talk to Isa.
[2015-05-14 21:51:40] <Wogglebug> Bore lifts a mug. "I'll drink to that, ehh? Cain't remember last time it hasn't snowed. Pretty warm one, today, at least."
[2015-05-14 21:51:55] <Wogglebug> "Probably did it for the party, Roc did."
[2015-05-14 21:52:02] <TesKin|Phone> "One would think the guest list would be private for such an affair."
[2015-05-14 21:52:17] <Wogglebug> DuBois: "But of course."
[2015-05-14 21:52:35] <Wogglebug> Roll perception, Alim.
[2015-05-14 21:52:45] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+5
[2015-05-14 21:52:45] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: 5 (4df+5=0, 4- , 0, 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:53:12] <gumbal1> "Does Roc control the weather?"
[2015-05-14 21:53:15] <Wogglebug> The guy's eyes are grey, and dead looking. Like pits. You feel as though you'll fall into them.
[2015-05-14 21:53:47] <Wogglebug> Bore: "Well, he can, of course. Doesn't like to, most of the time. Messes up with the crop cycle, it can."
[2015-05-14 21:53:49] <DiePotato> Isa nods to Hera and Don. "Please excuse me for a moment." She goes over to Jack. "I'm not getting anything from them."
[2015-05-14 21:54:17] <TesKin|Phone> Despite his growing concern, Alim's face betrays nothing. "I cannot help but think you are not who you say you are."
[2015-05-14 21:54:22] <Wogglebug> Bore: "He seems to be enjoying his time though, lots of people listenin' to him talk."
[2015-05-14 21:54:48] <Complete_Zero> He nods, "Same here, that crowds thicker than a brick wall, but I learned that storyteller's the host of this gala."
[2015-05-14 21:55:08] <Wogglebug> DuBois: "I assure you, I am in truth Jeoffroi DuBois. Since birth, till death."
[2015-05-14 21:55:28] <Wogglebug> He laughs slightly at this.
[2015-05-14 21:55:34] <Wogglebug> It's very shallow, again.
[2015-05-14 21:55:53] <TesKin|Phone> (Can Alim roll perc to check if he'l lieing?)
[2015-05-14 21:56:04] <Wogglebug> He can roll, sure.
[2015-05-14 21:56:20] <DiePotato> "Great… If we could get close to him we might be able to do something."
[2015-05-14 21:56:28] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+5 I ain't buyin' it.
[2015-05-14 21:56:29] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: I ain't buyin' it.: 5 (4df+5= 4- , 3+ , 3+ , 4- )
[2015-05-14 21:56:44] <Wogglebug> He doesn't seem to be lying. Might be leaving things out, but that's his name.
[2015-05-14 21:57:02] <TesKin|Phone> "… Why are you here?"
[2015-05-14 21:57:08] <gumbal1> "Interesting. In our world weather is controlled by a variety of factors, few of which humans can affect."
[2015-05-14 21:57:09] <Complete_Zero> "Agreed, you want to help me grab his attention?"
[2015-05-14 21:57:39] <DiePotato> "…" Isa looks over to storyteller. He got any pretty women around him?
[2015-05-14 21:58:01] <Complete_Zero> 4df+4 Any women at all?
[2015-05-14 21:58:03] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: Any women at all?: 7 (4df+4= 3+ , 3+ , 0, 3+ )
[2015-05-14 21:58:32] <Wogglebug> DuBois: "Just enjoying the party, is all. Not often Roc throws one. Tends to shut himself up, most of the time."
[2015-05-14 21:58:55] <Wogglebug> Bore: "That sounds terrible boring. How do they do lightshows, then?"
[2015-05-14 21:59:04] <Wogglebug> There are quite a few, Isa.
[2015-05-14 21:59:19] <gumbal1> "With spotlights."
[2015-05-14 21:59:19] <DiePotato> "…" Isa frowns. "Hmm…"
[2015-05-14 21:59:22] <Wogglebug> About a fourth are women, Jack.
[2015-05-14 21:59:41] <Wogglebug> Bore makes a somewhat surprised face, underneath the hair. "Huh."
[2015-05-14 21:59:49] <gumbal1> "Usually a human puts their hand in front of said spotlight to imitate an animal."
[2015-05-14 21:59:52] <Wogglebug> "What about when there's a drought?"
[2015-05-14 22:01:08] <TesKin|Phone> "Can you get me to Roc? I'd like to speak with him."
[2015-05-14 22:01:23] <Complete_Zero> "There are some women… but I don't know if they'd be attractive to him…"
[2015-05-14 22:01:32] <DiePotato> "Hmmmm…"
[2015-05-14 22:01:34] <Wogglebug> DuBois shrugs. "I suppose so. What do you want to talk to him about. Not an assassin, I hope?"
[2015-05-14 22:02:03] <TesKin|Phone> "Oh no, I just wish to know about him."
[2015-05-14 22:02:28] <DiePotato> Isa sighs. "My turn." She heads up to the crowd.
[2015-05-14 22:02:35] <Wogglebug> DuBois makes a very slight expression of acknowledgement. "Well, that won't be too difficult."
[2015-05-14 22:02:43] <Complete_Zero> Jack watches.
[2015-05-14 22:02:56] <Wogglebug> DuBois begins walking towards the crowd surrounding Roc.
[2015-05-14 22:03:14] <TesKin|Phone> "Thank you Mister DuBois." Alim follows after him.
[2015-05-14 22:03:27] <Wogglebug> (Isa can act before that.)
[2015-05-14 22:03:59] <DiePotato> She tries her own luck at slipping into the crowd
[2015-05-14 22:04:05] <DiePotato> 4df+3 AGI
[2015-05-14 22:04:06] <Glacon> DiePotato: AGI: 2 (4df+3= 4- , 0, 4- , 3+ )
[2015-05-14 22:04:09] <DiePotato> (Nope)
[2015-05-14 22:04:11] <Wogglebug> You don't make much headway.
[2015-05-14 22:04:28] <Wogglebug> As DuBois approaches, the crowd parts to get out of his way.
[2015-05-14 22:04:37] <Wogglebug> They're very quiet, as he passes.
[2015-05-14 22:05:05] <Complete_Zero> "Isa, maybe we can cause this party to drift into another activity… oh wait… There's Alim."
[2015-05-14 22:05:13] <TesKin|Phone> Alim stays close behind DuBois, watching him like a hawk.
[2015-05-14 22:05:17] <Wogglebug> He leans over to Roc, who is obviously very drunk, and whispers something in his ear.
[2015-05-14 22:05:24] <Wogglebug> You can roll perception to attempt to overhear it.
[2015-05-14 22:05:27] <DiePotato> Isa backs up to Jack's side
[2015-05-14 22:05:48] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+5
[2015-05-14 22:05:49] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: 7 (4df+5= 3+ , 0, 0, 3+ )
[2015-05-14 22:06:30] <Wogglebug> "… Foundation. Do be p […] the coming months."
[2015-05-14 22:06:51] <Wogglebug> He is a very, very quiet whisperer.
[2015-05-14 22:07:11] <DiePotato> "What's happening?" Isa whispers to Jack
[2015-05-14 22:07:19] <Wogglebug> Roc nods, and looks over to Alim. "HELLO! What can I do for you?
[2015-05-14 22:07:34] <Wogglebug> Roc is very short, on account of being a dwarf, and very wide, on account of the same.
[2015-05-14 22:07:47] <TesKin|Phone> ~Damn. Did he tip him off to the Foundation's presence?~
[2015-05-14 22:07:47] <Wogglebug> He's more muscular than fat, but he's certainly eating a lot.
[2015-05-14 22:08:06] <Wogglebug> He's wearing very heavy purplish robes, with designs of clouds on them.
[2015-05-14 22:08:22] <Complete_Zero> "How the hell-"
[2015-05-14 22:08:40] <Complete_Zero> "He just /walked/ up to the man."
[2015-05-14 22:08:41] <Wogglebug> DuBois stands nearby. The crowd begins to disperse, seeing Roc has taken a private audience.
[2015-05-14 22:08:54] <TesKin|Phone> "Hello! I have been trying to speak with you all night! I am Alim. Pleased to meet you."
[2015-05-14 22:09:12] <Complete_Zero> Jack does what he does best… eavesdrop. (roll sneak?)
[2015-05-14 22:09:20] <TesKin|Phone> "I wanted to thank you personally for inviting me to such a stunning gala."
[2015-05-14 22:09:33] <Wogglebug> Roc extends a hand to be shaken. It's somewhat greasy. "Pleasure, pleasure. Many thanks."
[2015-05-14 22:09:51] <Wogglebug> "We;re gald to host such loyal allies to the city."
[2015-05-14 22:10:04] <TesKin|Phone> Alim shakes.
[2015-05-14 22:10:06] <Wogglebug> "Weren't for you, poor Nadu's boys would be worked half to death."
[2015-05-14 22:10:10] <Wogglebug> Jack, go ahead.
[2015-05-14 22:10:35] <Complete_Zero> 4df+5
[2015-05-14 22:10:36] <Glacon> Complete_Zero: 5 (4df+5=0, 3+ , 4- , 0)
[2015-05-14 22:10:40] <TesKin|Phone> "That is a shame. Why were they being worked so hard?"
[2015-05-14 22:10:46] <Wogglebug> You can hear them talk. They're not very quiet.
[2015-05-14 22:11:18] <Wogglebug> "Well, oh, you know, what with the dragon. They would have had to take that bugger down, once it made its way to the city. Can't be having the whole place go up, eh?"
[2015-05-14 22:11:37] <Wogglebug> "And the Imperials too, harassing the farmers. Need a bit of security at the gates, eh?"
[2015-05-14 22:12:04] <Wogglebug> "S'always good to have help, is it, eh?"
[2015-05-14 22:12:10] <TesKin|Phone> "Of course, of course."
[2015-05-14 22:12:17] <Wogglebug> He laughs, deeply, and nudges DuBois a bit.
[2015-05-14 22:12:29] <Wogglebug> DuBois lets out a strangled chuckle.
[2015-05-14 22:12:39] <DiePotato> Isa sighs and leans against Jack. "Looks like they've got this covered."
[2015-05-14 22:12:58] <Complete_Zero> "Looks like it."
[2015-05-14 22:13:23] <TesKin|Phone> "May I ask why you threw such an amazing event?"
[2015-05-14 22:13:29] <Complete_Zero> "Do we have any other objectives?"
[2015-05-14 22:13:42] <gumbal1> Danielle's staring at the various odd people around.
[2015-05-14 22:13:53] <DiePotato> Isa shrugs. "They'd probably be able to do them better then us."
[2015-05-14 22:13:59] <TesKin|Phone> "It is not often that a simple scholar such as myself gets to leave the library."
[2015-05-14 22:13:59] <Wogglebug> "Oh you know, with the holiday and all. Got to, if you want Kar to play nice, heh? Good guy, Kar. Real friendly."
[2015-05-14 22:14:23] <Wogglebug> There's an elephant man passing by, Danielle. He has a very large, fruity looking drink.
[2015-05-14 22:14:23] <TesKin|Phone> "Oh? Tell me of him."
[2015-05-14 22:14:31] <Complete_Zero> "But we can do them now…" Jack walks over to Danielle.
[2015-05-14 22:14:50] <gumbal1> "Oh, hello…what was your name, again?"
[2015-05-14 22:15:16] <Wogglebug> "Oh he's a big bugger, lots of teeth and horns and the like. Likes to growl and yip and all that. He'll chew ya out when he's mad, like. Good guy, though."
[2015-05-14 22:15:18] <Complete_Zero> "Jack Richards, you're the girl from Dijon, correct?"
[2015-05-14 22:15:52] <Wogglebug> The elephant man turns, surprised. He clears his throat a bit. "I, and Windlow the Magnificent, master of potions."
[2015-05-14 22:15:54] <gumbal1> "Yes. Did you need something?"
[2015-05-14 22:16:04] <Complete_Zero> "Were we assigned any other objectives?"
[2015-05-14 22:16:15] <TesKin|Phone> "Mmm. He seems very intresting."
[2015-05-14 22:16:18] <gumbal1> Danielle looks to the elephant man. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt."
[2015-05-14 22:16:18] <Wogglebug> The elephant man realizes no one is addressing him.
[2015-05-14 22:16:18] <DiePotato> Isa sighs and goes to get something to drink
[2015-05-14 22:16:25] <Wogglebug> He turns a bit red.
[2015-05-14 22:16:31] <gumbal1> "I don't know."
[2015-05-14 22:17:05] <Wogglebug> You objectives were to find someone who could access the university's Way and convince them to let you use it.
[2015-05-14 22:17:09] <Wogglebug> *Your
[2015-05-14 22:17:24] <Wogglebug> Many people could have access to them. Hard to say.
[2015-05-14 22:18:00] <Wogglebug> Isa, the punch smells a bit alcoholic.
[2015-05-14 22:18:08] <Complete_Zero> "Is there anything going on?"
[2015-05-14 22:18:11] <Wogglebug> Roc nods emphatically, Alim.
[2015-05-14 22:18:15] <DiePotato> Isa shrugs. She could use a drink.
[2015-05-14 22:18:19] <Complete_Zero> "Anything else you learned?"
[2015-05-14 22:18:24] <Wogglebug> Drink is obtained.
[2015-05-14 22:18:42] <TesKin|Phone> "Now, I must ask, would you happen to know if the university has a Way?"
[2015-05-14 22:19:05] <Wogglebug> Roc smiles, widely. "Of course! Loads. All over the place."
[2015-05-14 22:19:10] <TesKin|Phone> "If you do not know, or cannot tell me, I understand."
[2015-05-14 22:19:15] <Wogglebug> DuBois makes a somewhat annoyed expression.
[2015-05-14 22:19:22] <DiePotato> Isa sips at it lightly as she heads back to Jack
[2015-05-14 22:19:28] <Wogglebug> DuBois: "Just the one, actually."
[2015-05-14 22:19:43] <Wogglebug> "Not that that's public information." He sighs, slightly.
[2015-05-14 22:19:48] <Wogglebug> It's very shallow.
[2015-05-14 22:19:58] <Wogglebug> Isa, roll mdef.
[2015-05-14 22:20:01] <gumbal1> "Roc can control weather, apparently."
[2015-05-14 22:20:08] <DiePotato> 4df+4 let's get this party started
[2015-05-14 22:20:09] <Glacon> DiePotato: let's get this party started: 2 (4df+4= 4- , 4- , 3+ , 4- )
[2015-05-14 22:20:14] <Wogglebug> The elephant man waddles off, embarassed.
[2015-05-14 22:20:27] <Complete_Zero> "While that's interesting, it doesn't help a bit."
[2015-05-14 22:20:29] <Wogglebug> Your stats change slightly, Isa, but you're not aware of it.
[2015-05-14 22:21:21] <TesKin|Phone> "Oh, I was only curious as to what it was! I am a scholar in my home, and they seem so intriguing!"
[2015-05-14 22:21:31] <Wogglebug> "OH? Really? Scholar of what?"
[2015-05-14 22:21:39] <Complete_Zero> Jack notices the elephant man, "Hello!"
[2015-05-14 22:21:52] <Wogglebug> He's already waddling off, Jack. Such a sad elephant man.
[2015-05-14 22:21:53] <TesKin|Phone> "A religion called Islam."
[2015-05-14 22:21:59] <DiePotato> Isa goes over to Jack and loops an arm around his sipping her drink. It's her turn to be doll face.
[2015-05-14 22:22:15] <Complete_Zero> "Isa…"
[2015-05-14 22:22:25] <Wogglebug> Roc looks excited, "Oh, I know one of those! A mage down in the Isles, name of Jeson. Do you know Jeson?"
[2015-05-14 22:22:25] <DiePotato> "What?"
[2015-05-14 22:22:30] <Complete_Zero> *sniff* "Is that alcohol?"
[2015-05-14 22:22:33] <Wogglebug> Roc looks more than a little drunk.
[2015-05-14 22:22:45] <DiePotato> "Yep." Sip
[2015-05-14 22:22:59] <Wogglebug> Bore just sort of watches the three of them. "You lot aren't hitters, are ya?"
[2015-05-14 22:23:11] <TesKin|Phone> "I don't believe I've met him! Is he in attendence tonight?"
[2015-05-14 22:23:18] <gumbal1> "I have no idea what that means."
[2015-05-14 22:23:31] <Wogglebug> "Oh, no, no, couldn't make it up. Storms in the south and all."
[2015-05-14 22:23:41] <Wogglebug> Bore: "Like, assassins."
[2015-05-14 22:24:06] <gumbal1> "…no?"
[2015-05-14 22:24:17] <TesKin|Phone> "Oh, such a shame! I would have loved to speak with him!"
[2015-05-14 22:24:18] <Wogglebug> Bore: "You sure? Seem kind of assassinish."
[2015-05-14 22:24:44] <Wogglebug> Roc nods, slowly. "I'm sure he would have liked you. Good guy, Jeson. Very good with the runes, he is."
[2015-05-14 22:24:47] <Complete_Zero> "My good man… do you see a weapon on me?"
[2015-05-14 22:24:54] <gumbal1> "I don't believe I'm here to kill anyone."
[2015-05-14 22:25:06] <Wogglebug> Is Jack armed at all?
[2015-05-14 22:25:10] <TesKin|Phone> "What type of runes?"
[2015-05-14 22:25:40] <Wogglebug> Roc: "Uh… not sure, to be honest. Something to do with some god or the other. A minor one, I think."
[2015-05-14 22:25:40] <DiePotato> Isa sips listening passingly. "He's not stupid enough to carry a weapon. Don't worry."
[2015-05-14 22:25:42] <Complete_Zero> All he's got is a small switchblade hidden in his pants, for self-defence
[2015-05-14 22:26:08] <Wogglebug> Bore: "How should I know. All I'm saying is, if you were you might not want to be."
[2015-05-14 22:26:31] <Wogglebug> Bore: "Nadu watching and all. He gets really defensive, when Roc's drunk, ya know."
[2015-05-14 22:26:51] <Complete_Zero> "I don't kill… I'm here for business only… Nadu?"
[2015-05-14 22:27:28] <DiePotato> ~What a name… Nadu…~
[2015-05-14 22:27:29] <Wogglebug> "The archmage. Great Zombie Nadu. Eater of Will Nadu. Has a Stick up his Ass Nadu."
[2015-05-14 22:27:47] <Wogglebug> "He teaches 'ere. Does security, too."
[2015-05-14 22:27:52] <Wogglebug> "All them golems are his."
[2015-05-14 22:27:56] <TesKin|Phone> Alim nods. "The next time I am here I would love to speak with him. Do you plan on throwing another gala soon?"
[2015-05-14 22:28:24] <gumbal1> "That's fine? I'm not here to kill anyone."
[2015-05-14 22:28:26] <Wogglebug> Roc thinks for a moment. "No, don't think I will, not till the damn Imperials are out. Can't stand them."
[2015-05-14 22:28:34] <Complete_Zero> "What does he look like, where is he?"
[2015-05-14 22:28:43] <Wogglebug> Bore shrugs. "Just being sure."
[2015-05-14 22:29:13] <Wogglebug> He looks to Jack, and then points over by Roc. "Over there, at the end of the table. He's the scowling one, not the dwarf."
[2015-05-14 22:29:15] <TesKin|Phone> "Oh, such a shame."
[2015-05-14 22:29:34] <Complete_Zero> Jack looks over in that direction.
[2015-05-14 22:29:41] <DiePotato> Isa looks over as well
[2015-05-14 22:29:54] <Wogglebug> The only people over there are Roc, Alim, and DuBois.
[2015-05-14 22:30:03] <DiePotato> "…"
[2015-05-14 22:30:21] <DiePotato> "Scowling?"
[2015-05-14 22:30:26] <Complete_Zero> "Ah, sir? There's nobody there."
[2015-05-14 22:30:31] <Wogglebug> "Yeah. Next to Roc. Can't you see him?"
[2015-05-14 22:30:37] <Wogglebug> Bore looks confused at them.
[2015-05-14 22:30:45] <DiePotato> "No. I don't see them."
[2015-05-14 22:30:55] <Wogglebug> "Tall black guy. Bit grey around the gills?"
[2015-05-14 22:31:12] <Complete_Zero> "You mean that man?" He poins to DuBois
[2015-05-14 22:31:15] <DiePotato> Isa squints.
[2015-05-14 22:31:17] <Wogglebug> "Yeah. Course."
[2015-05-14 22:32:01] <Complete_Zero> "That would explain how he parted the crowd like a hot knife through butter."
[2015-05-14 22:32:10] <Wogglebug> "Yeah, he has that effect."
[2015-05-14 22:32:17] <Wogglebug> "He's not a bad guy, once you get to know him."
[2015-05-14 22:32:27] <Wogglebug> "Just a bit of a grump, heh."
[2015-05-14 22:32:31] <DiePotato> "I've heard that about alot of guys."
[2015-05-14 22:33:00] <Complete_Zero> Jack examines DuBois closely, noting his features.
[2015-05-14 22:33:12] <Wogglebug> Roc leans in a bit closer to Alim "Those your friends staring at us, over there?"
[2015-05-14 22:33:21] <Wogglebug> He thumbs at the other three.
[2015-05-14 22:33:52] <TesKin|Phone> Alim nods. "Yes."
[2015-05-14 22:34:16] <Wogglebug> "Bring 'em over. I wanna meat the rest of you Foundation people. Get to know you all."
[2015-05-14 22:34:25] <Wogglebug> *meet
[2015-05-14 22:34:45] <TesKin|Phone> Alim nods. "Of course Roc. I shall return shortly!"
[2015-05-14 22:34:58] <DiePotato> Isa frowns. "You think we should head over?"
[2015-05-14 22:35:06] <TesKin|Phone> Alim heads over to the trio. "Follow me."
[2015-05-14 22:35:17] <Complete_Zero> "Looks like we don't have a choice."
[2015-05-14 22:35:22] <TesKin|Phone> "And please try not to say anything stupid."
[2015-05-14 22:35:38] <DiePotato> "Yeah yeah." Isa follows with Jack.
[2015-05-14 22:36:02] <gumbal1> Danielle follows Alim.
[2015-05-14 22:36:07] <Complete_Zero> "Did you talk to Nadu, yet?" to Alim.
[2015-05-14 22:36:19] <Wogglebug> Nadu is whispering in Roc's ear, again. Too far away to hear.
[2015-05-14 22:36:48] <TesKin|Phone> "I have not found him yet."
[2015-05-14 22:37:07] <Complete_Zero> "Huh? Whaddya mean?"
[2015-05-14 22:37:34] <Complete_Zero> "He got you to the Host, didn't he?"
[2015-05-14 22:37:47] <TesKin|Phone> "I have not found him yet. Please refrain from speaking unless you are spoken too."
[2015-05-14 22:38:06] <DiePotato> "Alim that's Nadu."
[2015-05-14 22:38:34] <TesKin|Phone> Alim leads the group over to Roc and DeBois. "Oh. Fantastic."
[2015-05-14 22:38:53] <TesKin|Phone> "Roc! These are my friends!"
[2015-05-14 22:39:14] <Wogglebug> Roc stands, to greet the rest of the group. He's pretty short. Dwarfish. "HELLO! Lovely Foundation peoples. Wonderful to have you here. How have you been enjoying the party?"
[2015-05-14 22:39:25] <gumbal1> "It's pretty neat."
[2015-05-14 22:39:30] <DiePotato> Isa waves and smiles. "It's been fantastic."
[2015-05-14 22:39:43] <Wogglebug> He smiles broadly. "Wonderful! So glad you've enjoyed it."
[2015-05-14 22:40:17] <Wogglebug> "It must be a hard trip, getting here from what was it, Newark? Very far, I'm sure,"
[2015-05-14 22:40:45] <TesKin|Phone> Alim slides over to Dani. "And this is my lovely date, Miss Danielle."
[2015-05-14 22:40:48] <Complete_Zero> Jack nods, "I can certainly say I have never been to such a party as yours…" He says both as a compliment and a literal term.
[2015-05-14 22:41:03] <Wogglebug> He smiles broadly, again. "Adorable."
[2015-05-14 22:41:12] <Wogglebug> Behind him, Nadu clears his throat.
[2015-05-14 22:41:19] <Wogglebug> It's a weird sound.
[2015-05-14 22:41:27] <Wogglebug> Like a cough that doesn't want to be here.
[2015-05-14 22:41:48] <Complete_Zero> Seriously, Jack noted Nadu's appearance.
[2015-05-14 22:41:54] <Complete_Zero> notes*
[2015-05-14 22:42:09] <DiePotato> Isa just keeps smiling and sticking by Jack.
[2015-05-14 22:42:19] <Wogglebug> "Mr. Fakhoury, was there something you wanted to ask Dean Hammerstorm about, perhaps?"
[2015-05-14 22:42:23] <DiePotato> ~God this hurts me internally being near him~
[2015-05-14 22:42:37] <Complete_Zero> (Hinting at you giving me a description)
[2015-05-14 22:43:01] <TesKin|Phone> "Oh, yes! If it was at all possible, I would love to document the Way!"
[2015-05-14 22:43:23] <Wogglebug> He's tall, and his skin is a dark grey. He has very short black hair, grey at the temples. He's wearing a very thin robe. He's extremely thin, himself.
[2015-05-14 22:43:38] <TesKin|Phone> "Such an incredable piece of work cannot go undocumented!"
[2015-05-14 22:43:50] <Wogglebug> Roc's eyes lighten up. "I thought you'd never ask! It's such a lovely thing to show off, the Way, Very pretty."
[2015-05-14 22:44:06] <TesKin|Phone> "Oh I'd imagine!"
[2015-05-14 22:44:32] <Wogglebug> Roc steps forward slightly, and leans to the side. He looks as though he's about to fall, but corrects himself.
[2015-05-14 22:44:47] <Wogglebug> Nadu speaks up. "Perhaps it would be best if we did not walk."
[2015-05-14 22:45:00] <Wogglebug> "None of you are military personnel, are you?"
[2015-05-14 22:45:13] <TesKin|Phone> "Oh, of course not!"
[2015-05-14 22:45:19] <Complete_Zero> "Not even close."
[2015-05-14 22:45:32] <DiePotato> "Nope."
[2015-05-14 22:45:48] <gumbal1> "No."
[2015-05-14 22:45:56] <Wogglebug> "Very good."
[2015-05-14 22:46:14] <Wogglebug> Nadu raises a hand, and drops it. Time slows. The only thing you can focus on is the hand, as it falls.
[2015-05-14 22:46:18] <Wogglebug> It seems to take forever.
[2015-05-14 22:46:31] <Wogglebug> The next moment you're somewhere else, all of you.
[2015-05-14 22:46:42] <TesKin|Phone> Alim makes a mental note to document such a strange event.
[2015-05-14 22:46:44] <Complete_Zero> ~Whaaaaat is this shit!~
[2015-05-14 22:46:47] <Wogglebug> It's a moderately sized room.
[2015-05-14 22:46:53] <DiePotato> ~Great~
[2015-05-14 22:46:56] <Wogglebug> The stonework is old, and the floor is marble.
[2015-05-14 22:47:01] <Wogglebug> There are torches on the walls.
[2015-05-14 22:47:20] <TesKin|Phone> 4df+5 (perc) anything out of the ordinary?
[2015-05-14 22:47:20] <Complete_Zero> Jack looks a bit nervous.
[2015-05-14 22:47:20] <Glacon> TesKin|Phone: (perc) anything out of the ordinary?: 4 (4df+5=0, 4- , 3+ , 4- )
[2015-05-14 22:47:24] <Wogglebug> In the center of the rom, four large pillars are connected to one another by runes and glyphs on the floor.
[2015-05-14 22:47:38] <Wogglebug> In the center of the pillars, there's a large white orb, emanating light.
[2015-05-14 22:48:05] <Complete_Zero> Can Jack use spec to look for threats?
[2015-05-14 22:48:24] <DiePotato> "Well then." Isa sighs and steps away from Jack. "This is new."
[2015-05-14 22:48:24] <Wogglebug> Roc looks overjoyed. "Here we are! What a beauty she is, huh?"
[2015-05-14 22:48:45] <Wogglebug> The orb is a pulsing, glowing sort of thing.
[2015-05-14 22:49:02] <DiePotato> Isa looks over and takes a step closer. "May I?"
[2015-05-14 22:49:03] <TesKin|Phone> Alim takes out his notepad, and begins not taking. "Breath taking."
[2015-05-14 22:49:14] <TesKin|Phone> note taking*
[2015-05-14 22:49:27] <Wogglebug> Roc smiles. "Feel free."
[2015-05-14 22:49:41] <Wogglebug> Nadu looks at everything around them, passively.
[2015-05-14 22:49:45] <Complete_Zero> "May I ask where we are?
[2015-05-14 22:49:48] <Complete_Zero> "
[2015-05-14 22:49:52] <DiePotato> Isa gets closer to the orb cautiously. She extends a hand slowly towards it
[2015-05-14 22:50:01] <Wogglebug> "Oh, just a subbasement, you know. We keep it down here for security."
[2015-05-14 22:50:12] <Wogglebug> "See, can't have people coming in just as much as they want, you know."
[2015-05-14 22:50:27] <Wogglebug> "So we tether it here, for safety's sake."
[2015-05-14 22:50:46] <TesKin|Phone> "Naturally. Something as precious as this must be quite valueable."
[2015-05-14 22:50:50] <Wogglebug> As soon as you touch it, everyone else disappears. The room is otherwise the exact same.
[2015-05-14 22:50:59] <Wogglebug> As soon as Isa touches the sphere, she disappears.
[2015-05-14 22:51:16] <Complete_Zero> "Isa? Whe-"
[2015-05-14 22:51:17] <DiePotato> Isa blinks. "Uhhh."
[2015-05-14 22:51:23] <DiePotato> "Hello?"
[2015-05-14 22:51:27] <Wogglebug> Nadu speaks up, "A price is not generally assigned to this sort of thing, but yes, it would be."
[2015-05-14 22:51:46] <Complete_Zero> "Where did she go?"
[2015-05-14 22:51:49] <Wogglebug> Isa, nobody answers. The sphere is still there. You're not touching it anymore.
[2015-05-14 22:52:05] <TesKin|Phone> Alim nods. "Oh, that is very intresting!"
[2015-05-14 22:52:27] <Wogglebug> Nadu speaks up. "A minor dimension. The Way itself leads to a portion of the Library of Tebat, but the portal around it leads to a simulacrum of the room we're in now."
[2015-05-14 22:52:30] <DiePotato> "…Hello?"
[2015-05-14 22:52:47] <Wogglebug> No one is there Isa.
[2015-05-14 22:53:14] <DiePotato> Isa starts breathing fast. ~Oh god. Ohgodohgodohgod~
[2015-05-14 22:53:28] <TesKin|Phone> "May I try it?"
[2015-05-14 22:53:28] <Wogglebug> "When one goes through the Way from the other end while the portal is up, they're shunted into the minor dimension. Can't get out until we pull them through."
[2015-05-14 22:53:44] <Wogglebug> "Feel free. Just touch it again to return."
[2015-05-14 22:53:46] <TesKin|Phone> Alim scribbles this information down.
[2015-05-14 22:53:50] <Wogglebug> Nadu seems terribly bored by all this.
[2015-05-14 22:53:54] <Wogglebug> Roc is smiling, drunkenly.
[2015-05-14 22:53:55] <Complete_Zero> "Pardon me… but it seems we've lost a member of our party."
[2015-05-14 22:54:07] <TesKin|Phone> "Thank you!" Alim strides over to the orb, and touches it.
[2015-05-14 22:54:20] <Wogglebug> You appear next to Isa, on the other side.
[2015-05-14 22:54:29] <DiePotato> Isa is on the ground breathing fast
[2015-05-14 22:54:33] <TesKin|Phone> "Ah, good it worked."
[2015-05-14 22:54:36] <Complete_Zero> "And there's two…"
[2015-05-14 22:54:43] <Wogglebug> "Yes. Quite."
[2015-05-14 22:55:10] <TesKin|Phone> Alim walks over to Isa. "Come with me."
[2015-05-14 22:55:20] <DiePotato> Isa looks up. "Oh thank God!" She scrambles up and hugs Alim
[2015-05-14 22:55:20] <Complete_Zero> "I'll just stay right here… I'm not exactly eager to travel through dimensions…"
[2015-05-14 22:55:41] <Wogglebug> Roc: "It's not too bad, not at all. Just a bit of a woooosh."
[2015-05-14 22:56:09] <TesKin|Phone> Alim is huged! "Come, I have so much information to study!"
[2015-05-14 22:56:24] <TesKin|Phone> He gently guides Isa over to the orb.
[2015-05-14 22:56:30] <DiePotato> "Yes! Please take me out of here." Isa is guided.
[2015-05-14 22:56:47] <Wogglebug> You both go through, back to the original side.
[2015-05-14 22:56:48] <TesKin|Phone> "Touch the orb when you are ready Miss."
[2015-05-14 22:56:56] <Complete_Zero> "Last time I went through a portal I ended up fighting a strange alien, puppeteer monster…"
[2015-05-14 22:57:12] <Wogglebug> Nadu smirks slightly. "It can happen."
[2015-05-14 22:57:17] <DiePotato> Isa breathes a sigh of relief when they're back.
[2015-05-14 22:57:43] <Complete_Zero> he raises an eyebrow at Nadu
[2015-05-14 22:57:57] <TesKin|Phone> Alim pockets his notebook and touches the orb.
[2015-05-14 22:58:18] <Wogglebug> You go back through.
[2015-05-14 22:58:23] <Wogglebug> Again.
[2015-05-14 22:58:54] <DiePotato> "That was scary…" Isa goes back to Jack's side.
[2015-05-14 22:59:30] <Complete_Zero> He glances at Isa, then at Alim. "Was it fun?"
[2015-05-14 22:59:39] <TesKin|Phone> Alim returns to Dani's side. "Thank you so much Roc! This information will be invalueable!"
[2015-05-14 22:59:56] <DiePotato> Isa hugs Jack's side. "It was scary…"
[2015-05-14 22:59:58] <Wogglebug> "Wonderful!"
[2015-05-14 23:00:18] <Complete_Zero> "Yes… I know."
[2015-05-14 23:00:19] <DiePotato> ~It was like that empty place again~
[2015-05-14 23:00:24] <Wogglebug> "If you want to study more, come by any time."
[2015-05-14 23:00:48] <TesKin|Phone> "Of course. Thank you!"
[2015-05-14 23:01:03] <Wogglebug> Roc is still smiling, widely.
[2015-05-14 23:01:21] <Wogglebug> He leans over to Nadu, and whispers something you can't hear.
[2015-05-14 23:01:27] <DiePotato> Isa continues to cling onto Jack looking like she's been scared to death.
[2015-05-14 23:01:42] <Complete_Zero> Jack looks at Nadu, "Have I seen you somewhere before? I swear you look familiar."
[2015-05-14 23:01:42] <Wogglebug> "IN any case, I must be going now. Party to run, all that."
[2015-05-14 23:01:58] <Wogglebug> Roc snaps his fingers, and disappears in a small cloud.
[2015-05-14 23:02:04] <Wogglebug> "No. You have not."
[2015-05-14 23:02:35] <Complete_Zero> "Oh, alright then." He nods.
[2015-05-14 23:02:45] <Wogglebug> He turns to Alim. "In any case, now that this minor sham is over, shall we discuss actual terms?"
[2015-05-14 23:03:07] <Complete_Zero> "Isa… are you alright?"
[2015-05-14 23:03:26] <TesKin|Phone> Alim slips from entertaining a drunk mode to Actual Alim mode. "Of course."
[2015-05-14 23:03:37] <Wogglebug> "We'd rather not gain the ire of the Library, but academics will be academics. Lots of studying to be done, of course."
[2015-05-14 23:03:40] <DiePotato> Isa shakes her head. "It was empty." Her eyes are looking down
[2015-05-14 23:04:22] <Wogglebug> "We are, in fact, in a very interesting political position."
[2015-05-14 23:04:35] <Complete_Zero> "It's not that bad if you've gone through it a couple of times, ya know."
[2015-05-14 23:04:58] <DiePotato> "Still empty."
[2015-05-14 23:05:17] <Wogglebug> "Being archmagi, and heads of an educational institution, we can not lend our support to the Banganashi forces directly. However, you, being a completely external force, can."
[2015-05-14 23:05:38] <Complete_Zero> "You'll be alright…"
[2015-05-14 23:05:52] <Wogglebug> "We'll allow you usage of the Way if you provide support against the Imperials. Very simple terms. All very nice and wrapped up."
[2015-05-14 23:06:05] <Complete_Zero> Jack tunes in to the big boy conversation.
[2015-05-14 23:06:17] <DiePotato> Isa nods and hugs Jack a bit more.
[2015-05-14 23:06:21] <Complete_Zero> ~Politics…~
[2015-05-14 23:06:47] <Complete_Zero> "Are we done? Mission Complete?"
[2015-05-14 23:07:09] <Wogglebug> "If the Library wants to know, you fooled Dean Hammerstorm under the guise of being a researched. You will not mention any involvement of the university in your business."
[2015-05-14 23:07:23] <Wogglebug> *researcher
[2015-05-14 23:07:33] <Wogglebug> "Is this understood?"
[2015-05-14 23:08:33] <Complete_Zero> "I can guarantee no leaks from this guy… I won't be talking to the Library any time soon."
[2015-05-14 23:08:34] <TesKin|Phone> "Understood."
[2015-05-14 23:09:09] <Wogglebug> "Wonderful. If you have no further business in the city, I will return you to your base of operations."
[2015-05-14 23:09:32] <Wogglebug> "Have a pleasant evening."
[2015-05-14 23:09:39] <TesKin|Phone> "And you."
[2015-05-14 23:09:46] <Wogglebug> Nadu lifts his hand again, and drops it.
[2015-05-14 23:09:53] <Wogglebug> Time slows. The hand is all you see.
[2015-05-14 23:10:00] <Complete_Zero> ~Oh, god… not more inter-dimensional shit.~
[2015-05-14 23:10:08] <Wogglebug> The four of you are in front of Site 19, standing in the road.
[2015-05-14 23:10:14] <Wogglebug> It's dark out.
[2015-05-14 23:10:24] <Wogglebug> Crickets hum in the air. Run completed.
[2015-05-14 23:10:44] <Complete_Zero> "Lovely… I like instant transportation…" he says sarcastically.
