Kaelyn nodnods...
Koji is still oblivios, speaking to the air. "But then what
is the point of showing me this..?"
Tiberious says, "This is what I'm seeing miss the aura of magical
beings"
Rian cocks his head..
Tiberious says, "Or that one contacting The Little girl over there
anyway"
You say, "And of enchantments. I've got two glows on me right
now: mine an' my 'chantment."
Kaelyn eeps and playfully tries to hide her aura, making it look
like a woman trying to hide that she's nekkid ^_^
Serin giggles.
Rian pulls up his monacle and begins searching around, looking
at Koji...
Koji blinks and looks up, "Don't go... tell me..."
Cyndra covers her eyes a bit, "Some are stronger than others."
Cyndra then looks towards Koji's direction.
Tiberious says, "Eye You get used to it over time"
"There's something shining in front of Koji." Serin shrugs. "It's
just a bit of positive energy."
Tiberious looks back over to Koji
Cyndra winces, "Oh dear...its already gotten ahold of the child."
She tries to remain calm, blowing her cool would ruin her lone hunter type
image, "Well...are you going to do something?"
Rian settles back and watches.
Tiberious says, "Don't fret if it ment any harm it would have done
something by now"
"Are you casting a spell too, ma'am?" Serin says to koji.
Brolly looks around from her table but doesnt join in, to nervous
being in a crowd of strange furs.
Tiberious says, "Posably but can Positive energy comunicate?"
(Brolly)
You see a very attractive young ferretess, of what one might properly
guess at to be 18 or 19 years of age. She seems to nearly always be in
perpetual motion causing the silk of her dress to brush upon the air and
flow about her lithe form as if they were made of some magic liquid.
She is fairly short, at 5'4", but still very well proportioned. Her
build is athletic but still keeping an ample bust. She is just plain
lucky there. Her body is covered in a silky soft fur coat of varying shades
of light brown and white on face and down her front. For her dress
she has only her fur to cover her, but with a few noticeable exceptions.
The first one of these, that you notice, is the swirling waves
of silk that flow around her waist as a skirt. Colored in a bright
red that brings out the tones in her fur, her skirt is made of a fine light
almost translucent silk that only barely comes down below her modesty when
she is still. After the skirt, the only protection she has left for
her luscious treasure is a pair of panties made out only slightly thicker
silk fabric. Her bust is protected with a halter of the same material
in a slightly brighter shade with a tint more yellow. All in all,
as she moves the flowing fabric makes her seem like a candle flame in a
soft breeze.

BUTTON:This character under construction.
Outside, The winds steadily pick up making it quite windy.
Serin spots a ferret! "Hey, you. Why are you almost
hiding under the table like that?"
Tiberious starts to get shaky and sits down near Brolly still
watching
... Tiberious, a male Tiger-striped Skunk looked at you ...
Foxtrot shouts "15-30 Minutes to Midnight." (Wiz-@all-shout)
cast lookall
You cast your senses about.
Brolly looks over to Tiberious and churrs "Are you all right sir?
Kyn'Elwynn fehs at the blatant magical nonesense.
Vex comes in from the street.
Kaelyn shrugs and deciding to not be magical, but blatant walks
over and FLUFFS Kyn!
Cyndra frowns, "But...what if it is trying to lure her into doing
something? Spirits one of the worst kinds of supernaturals, they lure you
into a sence of security and suck your soul dry." She moves over towards
the child and tries to shake her to snap her out of it, "Child...don't
listen to or don't do anything that spirit says, its evil."
Vex wavies and's OOC.
Vex goes [WIZ] Wizard OnDuty.
Rhys Sits quietly, drinking a bit of beer, keeping to himself as
he's quite shy...
Koji is comepletely out of it. She looks up to the air she's
been speaking to, "Why?"
Kyn'Elwynn blinks a few times at the light shift.. "Ferrr.."
Kaelyn hmmmmmmmms an wonners when kyn's gonna notice the fluff'n
Tiberious walks over to Cyndra and tries to pull her away "As I
said Don't worry Ma'am there is nothing to fear
Cyndra blinks, "Why? Because, it may do something to you that nobody
may find out about before its too late."
Kyn'Elwynn's body begins to bristle with blackened energies.. "I
do recomend.. that all those misusing magic or e'en attemptin' minor spells
tae stop this instant.."
### The story begins
Foxtrot comes in from the street.
Rian laughs quietly..
Foxtrot bows as he enters.
Kaelyn wavies to foxy ^_^
Koji blinks, shaken out of it. The kit whines and looks up
to Cyndra, "Why did you do that?"
Foxtrot smiles, "Konban-wa."
Cyndra churrs, "Because, you didn't know what it was going to do...you
can't trust spirits. "
Serin waves!
Foxtrot raises an eyebrow to Cyndra. "Pardon?"
Rian chuckles. "Certainly you can."
Foxtrot says, "You can trust spirits to act within their nature."
Kaelyn umms "m'thinks Cyndra banished a spirit...
You say, "Unless they say you should trust them, spirits are pretty
trustworthy, I've found."
Koji frowns, wrinkling up her nose at Cyndra, "You should not say
what I can and cannot trust."
Cyndra sighs, "They enjoy doing nothing more than tricking naive
children into dire situtations." This comming from a young lady who is
naive enough to think anything supernatural is bad.
Tiberious says, "As I tried to tell her But noone wants to listen
to a mage"
Kyn'Elwynn snarls a bit, grounding his energies. "No one cares
tae listen to ye.."
Foxtrot looks at Kyn? "I take it I've been insulted?"
"That's not true at all! My Watcher keeps care of me." you
say.
Tiberious says, "Gah"
You have called Watcher to you.
Watcher bounds in looking for Serin..
Serin smiles, patting thin air in front of him.
Kyn'Elwynn shakes his head to Foxtrot. "Fools, th'lot of 'em. Best
tae ignore the proceedin's."
Rian begins to just laugh quietly and shakes his head...
Tiberious puts his hand back on Cyndras' head and removes the spell
Foxtrot nods, "Hai. Unless I'm invited in or directly affected."
Foxtrot says, "As it stands, I have more pressing matters.
There's a plague in Anansie."
Cyndra looks around, as all the magic auras fade.
Doro comes in from the street.
Kyn'Elwynn hmms to Foxtrot. "More trouble in th'Hinde lands?"
You say, "What's a ... a playguh?"
Kaelyn blinks... "eh, need a healer t'come 'long?
Doro waves as she strides in.
Tiberious looks up at FoxTrot "A plague?"
Foxtrot blinks at the sudden responses, and starts from the beginning,
going to his favourite pillow by the fireplace.
Cyndra looks to Serin, "Something the lord brings down upon those
who deserve it."
Doro murrs softly, "Lord, what lord?"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Alright, quiet e'ery one, Foxtrot's gonna
speak"
You say, "Oh. Like when Chi gives me a "talkin' to."
I know that!"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Keep yer voices low"
Cyndra sits down, and listens intently.
Tiberious arches a brow at Cyndra "The only God I worship
Is Mana mother of all magic"
Serin claps his hands over his muzzle, clearly listening for the
instant.
Tiberious suts and listens
Brolly churrs and listens intently.
Rhys looks up with interest, too shy to participate in the conversation,
but interested nonetheless.
Rian wrinkles his muzzle, watching the room and playing idly with
his medallion..
Strider comes in from the street.
Foxtrot says, "From what I have heard, an unnatural storm is brewing
in the regions of Anansie. Along with this is a strange plague, a
wasting sickness, which seems to have spread along the tribes of the desert."
Foxtrot says, "This.. sickness.. is unnatural in origin.
An imbalance of sorts."
Rian flicks a glance at Strider..
Mabsant comes in from the street.
Koji blinks and scrambles towards Strider, "Der! An angel
spoke to me..."
Kaelyn nods slowly.... "what all is it affecting?
Doro hmms....
Rhys has disconnected.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Hush.. I'm sure if we are patient, he'll explain
all he can"
Tiberious listens
Mabsant walks in, humming wuietly.
Cyndra mutters, "The wandernig heathens probably brought it down
on themselves.." and folds her arms.
Mabsant says, "Explain what?"
Strider blinks, scooping the young lutrai up in his arms, "Really
now...?" He blinks and turns his head to listen to Foxtrot's news
as well, tilting an ear curiously.
Foxtrot thinks, "So far, it is affecting the inhabitants of the
oasis, and the wandering nomads only, and some of their animals.
It has not hit Anansie itself, however. The problem is, if a cure
is not found, it may move north, and wipe out the Shirelands or even Drachenkeep."
Brolly churrs worried and shivers as she continues to listen.
Mabsant says, "Oh my."
Kaelyn nods slowly...
Tiberious moves over to Brolly
Mabsant edges closer to the conversation, looking concerned.
Strider flicks an ear, "Well that certainly isn't... good."
"They got sick?" you say, " When are they gonna get better?"
Koji crawls down from Strider, heading off.
Doro murrs softly, "Not at all, and does need to be investigated."
Koji heads out into the street.
Seraphim heads out into the street.
Rian hrrrrrrs..
Seraphim comes in from the street.
Foxtrot sighs to Serin. "It's fatal."
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Hush! Feh, scattered like children are yer
voices."
Rian raises a paw..
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Foxtrot-san, please."
Tiberious smiles slightly at Brolly
Foxtrot looks at Rian?
Serin shivers. He knows what fatal is.
Mabsant raises a paw, his index finger extended, waiting his turn
to speak.
Tiberious wonders If the usual remedies were tried
Rian softly murrs, "Milord...this sounds like the Undead Plague
which was a danger to the far North last year. What the Watch did combat
and name the 'Storm War'."
Brolly heads out into the street.
Foxtrot nods, "I have heard of similar, and I had wondered if this
was the same thing, but it appears not. I... sense.. mahou to it...
of a sort."
Doro makes a face.
### The Red Wizard appears and says, "Time Stop spell in 2 minutes!"
###
Outside, The sun begins to set in the west creating a beautiful
scene of light and colour that stretches across the sky.
You say, "Has it... has it reached the Gypsy camp yet?"
Foxtrot shakes his head. "No, it has not."
Rhys is carried off by Bruno, the bouncer. Bruno returns
shortly and smiles.
Rian hrrrrs. "Could it then be a similar, yet lesser sort of thing
we face? Last it was a large demonic being of some necromantic variety."
Serin sighs in relief. "Well, then I bet 'doon is okay."
Foxtrot says, "Unknown. Normally, I could not be involved,
but since it is a threat to my domain, I am allowed to take action.
I am hoping I do not have to go alone, however."
Rian hmms. "Should we quarentine the Shirelands, milord?"
### Furrs rise to the challenge, and our fearless leader is... late as usual.
Kaelyn wickers softly, "I'll go ^_^"
### The Red Wizard casts the spell of Time Stop. ###
### The Time Stop spell fizzles. ###
Doro murrs softly, "I'll go with you, Foxtrot."
Kyn'Elwynn looks to Mabsant then calls out. "Can we quiet for a
moment?"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "M'lord 'ere wishes tae speak."
You say, "It seems I have trained well. I need to help."
Foxtrot nods to Mabsant.
Mabsant says, "I am a healer, an alchemist, and something of a
doctor... the situation rather interests me, as all matters of health do.
I would like to volunteer to investigate, and hopefully find a cure."
Foxtrot nods to Mabsant. "Welcome."
Strider frowns, "That's getting pretty near the slums... can't
have Koji getting dead on me..." He looks up, arms folding over his
chest, "I'd be delighted to join you. At the very least I can be
the comic relief."
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Foxtrot-san, are ye gatheirn' up good furs
tae march straight intae th'heart of a fatal plague risdden area in th'vain
hopes of seeking a cure while exposin' those who go tae this disease?"
"(If Strider's the comic relief, I'd hate to see the dramatic hero.),"
you say.
Cyndra heads out of the tavern.
Lairu comes in from the street.
Rian chuckles and nods. "I was going to say that.."
Foxtrot hmms? "No. Hopefully, we will be heading to
Anansie proper, to see what they will know on this, and perhaps find the
source. This is not something natureal."
Tiberious stands I too would join you
Lairu tosses his cloak over one shoulder.
Rian hrrrs. "And speaking of lost causes...good morrow, Lairu.."
Foxtrot chuckles.
You say, "I learned mostly soul-healing. Is there any holy
people here who would come to help? They have good uncurses."
Cyndra is walking out towards the exit of the tavern.
Lairu says softly, "I might fit that bill."
Foxtrot looks at Cyndra on her way, curious.
cast lookall
You cast your senses about.
Strider flicks an ear and hmphs, "Then I'll have to settle for
the good looking moody furson."
Kaelyn shrugs "I'm a priest of sorts I guess @.@
Serin . o O ( Smile fo' de camera! *snap* ) <== I tooked
a group photo. ^.^
Tiberious says, "My staff Is enchanted to heal when i call"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "She called 'em heathens an' seems tae care
not fer th'plagues in Anansie, Foxtrot-san."
Doro murrs softly, "Let her be then."
Mabsant has connected.
Serin laughs! "Kaelyn? You a priest?! Hee hee.
An' I'm a brawny warrior!"
Foxtrot nods to Kyn. "I would guess I count as heathen."
Kyn'Elwynn chuckles. "As woul' I."
Mabsant says, "We're all heathens, depending on whose viewpoint
you take."
Kaelyn smirks "I said of sorts... I be a druidess of Mana ^_^
Doro murrs softly, "A heathen is really anyone who doesn't follow
a certain god, from the follower's viewpoint."
Strider chuckles, "Why, I admit to be a heathen and a half."
Rian chuckles. "Heathen: dweller in the heather. Aye, I have done
so, on occasion."
Cyndra heads out into the street.
You say, "I believe in God an' spirits an' magic an' gods... does
that make me a heathen?"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Gentlefurs, if we can retain a serious air.
Furs are dyin' an' Foxtrot-san is calling us tae aid."
Mabsant has disconnected.
Seraphim heads out into the street.
Tiberious says, "AND I have answered I will help"
Rian softly murrs, "Most furs here have."
Mabsant says, "As have i."
Doro murrs softly, "Sir, some folks use levity to as not be overcome
with depression because of serious affairs."
Serin frowns. "You're right, Mr. Tiger. We gotta get
ser'yus."
Foxtrot looks at Lairu. "You are joining us?"
Lairu says softly, "And how."
Strider nods to Kyn'Elwynn, "We all have offered some sort of aid.
I just prefer to take things on with an optimistic mind."
Doro murrs softly, "Well, Foxtrot-san, when are you wishing to
head out?"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "'Tis a somber mood indeed, jokes arenae needed
at this point, let the humor be good when we've got a cure."
Rian winces. "There goes the neighborhood.."
Foxtrot hmms. "Well, from what I can gather, we first stop
at Hawk's Freehold, and speak with them. Their rangers can make a
roadblock. If I recall, they have a druid, who would be good at examining
people travelling from the south."
"Well, unless somehow laughter is the best medicine. Then
we shouldn't be serious." Serin says seriously.
Mabsant tilts his head. "Druids? are they not scholars, not healers?"
Rian hrrrs. "Milord, you did not answer, or I missed it. Should
we quarantine the Shirelands?"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Ye've a good plan, Foxtrot-san. Might I be
of aid?"
Tiberious says, "Then LEt us make haste Time is of the essence"
Foxtrot says, "Rian, not yet."
Foxtrot says, "Kyn-san. Of course, you are welcome."
"The longer we wait, the sicker people get. An' then they
die." you say.
Mabsant says, "A quarantine won't work--every english schoolboy
knows most diseases are carried in either the air or groundwater."
Rian softly murrs, "Aye, milord. I am assuming that the other PeaceKeepers
should be made aware?"
Lairu sits down by a window and leans back, vaguely meditative.
Kyn'Elwynn sighs softly, "Though I admit, my charge lies further
north, with drachen and th'ports of Nyctha.. but should this plague spread,
I fear for their lvies as well as that of my student, Jezable.
Foxtrot nods, "Hai, inform the Peacekeepers, we should be heading
out soon. I am merely waiting for my daimyo."
Rian bristles a bit at something..
Rian softly murrs, "Aye, milord."
You say, "I dunno 'bout english, but as a schoolboy I can say that
sometimes demons carry the disease. Sometimes people, or nonsens."
Rian softly murrs, "Bad humors, and the like."
Lairu quietly sharpens up his sword.
Strider hrms, looking himself over, "Do I need anything now?
Got the daggers... got the clothes..." He peers into his belt pouch,
"And the whiskey. Good." He looks up.
Rian hrrrs. "You aren't likely to kill the diseases with that,
Lairu..."
Tiberious picks his Crystal Staff up and waits by the bar
Outside, The winds die down a bit but remain gusty.
Mabsant checks his pouches... "I will need to pick up raw materials
before we leave, milord. i cannot produce potions with sand.
Kyn'Elwynn pads towards Mabsant. "What do ye need?"
Mabsant says, "er... Let's see. Snakeskins, salamander skins, ground
stones of various sorts, crystals, compounds..."
Mabsant says, "...mercury and Cinnibar... Silver, iron, and lead...
copper..."
Strider looks over to Mabsant, "Regular slum stew."
Kyn'Elwynn nods. "Let me see.." he reaches into the shadows of
his robes, producing skins of said animals, as well as bulging pouches.
You say, "Hmm. I need to get my tiddly-winks."
Jade enters, with Mika walking along next to her.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Shall this be enough, sir?"
Mabsant blinks. "Good heavens, sir."
Mabsant says, "Yes, absolutely..."
Foxtrot blinks, and bows to Jade and Mika.
Kyn'Elwynn hands them over.
Tiberious takes his Tome out and Studies for a few minutes
Anya comes in from the street.
Mabsant takes them, gratefully, and puts them in his satchel.
Mika chuckles and fuzzles Foxy while he's bowing.
Foxtrot comes over and smiles, hugging Jade.
Foxtrot eeps?
Kyn'Elwynn draws back his hood, "Let it nae be said th'Shadow Mage
is ill-equipped."
Shizouka comes in from the street.
Jade snugs Foxy back, murring quietly.
Kyn'Elwynn nods to Mika and Jade.
Lairu smiles at Mika, over the tip of his longsword, "Hey there.
It looks like there's something stirring."
Shizouka walks in and waves her tail to her friends!
Anya bows her head somewhat as she enters, smiling softly..quietly
she moves to one of the chairs and sits, looking in need of the rest here.
Mika ooos. "Armed and everything. Must be serious. What's up?"
Strider flicks an ear, "Well now... we have an army all ready to
fight the horrid plauge."
Rian waves at Shizouka, bows to Mika and pardons himself.
Rian heads out into the street.
Lairu motions Mika over, and sheathes his weapon, "I'm not sure,
really. I just got here."
Foxtrot nods, "A plague in the region of Anansie, that we are trying
to find the source of, then stop."
You say, "I hope the tavern doesn't burst at the seams."
Foxtrot nods.
Shizouka blinkles.
Mika chuckles. "A plague. Of course. Those are _never_ natural,
after all," she murmurs, padding over and scritching Lairu's ears.

South of Furryshire Town Square
Careful not to find a soft spot, you stand in the middle of a muddy
road, recent rains having left the road soggy, wagons passing through leaving
deep ruts in the dirt. Just to the east, you can see the peaked rooftop
and keg-shaped sign of the Furryshire Tavern. Even as you watch various
furries turn and head in that direction, anxious to dry their clothes in
the warm dry tavern.
Looking around, the skies showing their pretty sunset colors as
the day fades into evening. To the north you see the outlines of
the Furryshire Town Square. It's a busy place, thronging with furries
of all walks and stations of life. Further to the south are a few
additional shops. The road travels further south, into the main village
of Furryshire. Another less traveled road leads to the west to Westpike.

The road here is muddy from recent rains, not as heavily used as
the roads closer to Furryshire, a slight running water noise is heard to
the south. The area around here is part of the Furryshire village,
a few hovels and huts are seen off to the sides of the road, their roofs
dripping with the recent rains. A few trees, lush and full are noticed
as the forest thins to a green meadow. You notice the skies showing
their pretty sunset colors as the day fades into evening. The road

Foxtrot leaves, with Jade walking along with him.

Bridge over the River Lull, north end
You stand upon a great wooden bridge, spanning the wide banks of
the river
Lull. The waters of the river are clear and fresh, as the
river flows quickly
towards its salty destination, far to the east. The bridge
is ancient,
constructed many years ago, but, is still in fairly good condition,
wide
enough to allow wagon passage, strong enough to hold several.
To the north,
is the road, leading to Furryshire. To the south, an unknown
land lies before
you.

Hawk's Freehold
You walk through the gate and see a large expanse of land at the
river's edge. TO the south you see a large emerald green paddock
bordering the river with low banks to grab a drink of the sweet
water
when the mood strikes. In the paddock you see a few low hillocks
to add
challenge to running, and the grass looks delicious to an herbivore.
On
the other side of the path you see a few fields with corn and wheat
and
other food that looks good to an equine. At the end of the path,
in the
middle distance you see a low, sprawling building and during the
day,
you can hear the chiming of a blacksmith's hammer. The building
is next
to a huge, ancient, spreading oak tree that provides shade for
the
house most of the day and all of the year.

You say, "The forest. And then the desert."
Foxtrot leaves, with Jade walking along with him.

{-------------------------------------------------------------------------}
Path to Hawk's House and Smithy
You walk down the path and see a sprawling house and a small smithy
under a huge oak tree. The house looks smaller than it really is.
You
hear the whuffing of a bellows and the chiming of a blacksmith's
hammer
wafting toward you and see a light pall of smoke coming from the
smithy.

Path to Hawk's House and Smithy
from Hawk's Freehold
------------------------------------------------------
Watcher bounds in looking for Serin..
You found a gold piece!
You say, "Wow. I wonder what this place is."
As you approach Hawk's Freehold, you see they have built a wooden
wall now, closing in the area. Two rangers step out of the woods,
before the wall is even fully in sight. "Halt."
Mabsant looks around quietly.
Mabsant halts.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Th'smithy. Where they make items from metalss."
Tiberious looks around obeying the guard
Foxtrot asks, "Metalsss? Like my pressssiousssss?"
str /spell/list/desc:{listprops:spell,me}
str /spell/list/odesc:{name:me} reviews his spells.
2 properties listed.
Jade chuckles and tailswats Foxy.
Serin hides behind Tiberious.
Foxtrot coughs, then bows, "Good evening. Is the Lord of
this freehold awake?"
Kaelyn oy's atta foxtrot...
One of the rangers looks the group over, "I recall some of you,
what brings you into this area?"
Property removed.
Foxtrot looks back over his shoulder, then to the ranger.
"We are here on urgent business, on the way to Anansie, and wish to speak
with Lord Hawk about possible assistance."
Shizouka has connected.
Shizouka has disconnected.
Shizouka eeps.
Mabsant says, "Yes... it would be greatly appreciated."
The ranger looks at the large group, "You have brought a rather
large gathering with you."
Mika grins. "What, afraid we're some sort of invasion force?"
"We're gonna help make the sick well. Eep!" Serin ducks back
again.
A couple of small, plump hamsters and a wolven ranger pass by,
following a long-moustashed rat in grey robes.
Shizouka peeks around from behind a few furs...
Strider has disconnected.
The ranger nods. "Very well. Lord Hawk is awake, I
will send a runner to inform him of your company. May I have a name
for your group?"
Tiberious looks at Serin "Will you come out of there I doubt
there is any reason to hide"
Kyn'Elwynn flicks his ears, watching the rat.
"Oh really? Ok." Serin walks blithely out smiling up at the
ranger's sword
Kaelyn umms "the great big group from the shire?
Doro remains quiet and observant, glancing back and forth among
the crowd.
Foxtrot blinks, and looks back a moment. After a pause, he
turns to the ranger. "Umm... The Fellowship."
Kaelyn wickers softly, "or better yet! It's THEM again ^_^"
Kyn'Elwynn rubs his brow a bit.
Tiberious sighs
Jade smirks slightly, tails swaying lazily behind her.
The ranger nods, and sends a runner off. You hadn't spotted
him in the woods, but the cheetah races off to the fort. The ranger
smiles, "Follow him."
Foxtrot nods, and heads after the cheetah.
Serin follows.
Lairu whistles softly, cranking up his arbalest.
Shizouka takes a little tiny silver pin and starts popping thought
bubbles!
Kyn'Elwynn pads after the runner as instructed.
The fortress gates open as you approach, and you see some rangers
working with bows and swords inside, training and practicing as you approach
the common yard. There is a stable to the centre, the large house
to one side, almost a keep.
Tiberious says, "Hmmm nice living Quarters"
Mabsant looks around with interest, knowing that this is an exclucive
place where few outsiders can enter.
Kaelyn oooohs... . o O (bows)
Shizouka leans over towards Jade, "Um.. so whats going on?"
Serin oohs, and hops over to fawn at the swordpractice, pokes his
head in the stable and comes out covered in straw, and inspects the large
house for interesting places to crawl in. Then returns back
to the group.
Herne approaches the group, coming from the keep. Herne is
a tall, middle-aged deer wearing brown and green robes, with a golden sickle
at his waist.
Kyn'Elwynn bows respectfully.
Tiberious bows
Mabsant's brain clicks. druid. but shouldn't a druid's sickle be
silver?
Herne bows in return. "Greetings, Fellowship."
Jade scratches her head and shrugs. "There's a plague in Anansie
and...um... we're going to fix it? I don't really understand myself," she
says quietly to Shizouka.
Mabsant bows.
Lairu smiles at Mika, cranking done at last, "I think this may
be one of the first times my disease warding might come in handy."
Shizouka blinks rather cluelessly at Jade.. "............oh."
Foxtrot bows to Herne, "Greetings."
You say, "There was one here named "Hawk" who was supposed to be
able to help."
Kaelyn smiles "greet'ns
The druid and Foxtrot share sharp glances for a moment, then Herne
nods to Serin. "He is inside. Please allow him some time to
prepare for this unexpected gather."
Tiberious looks at Serin "Please be Quiet and Respectful."
Mika grins at Lairu, murmuring, "Knew there was some reason to
be a paladin."
Serin O.O and hides behind Tiberious.
Mabsant laments, in response to lairu's comment, "And the first
time i will lament my lack thereof..
Kyn'Elwynn nods a bit.
Kaelyn blinks and grins a lil, b'fore asking Herne "how's th'forest?
Shizouka folds her paws behind her back and looks around for something
needing some mischeif.
Tiberious looks At Lairu "If this desease is as powerful as I have
heard you might not be able to with stand it
Herne looks back over his shoulder. "Fairly well. We
had some difficulties with a region within Anaitha. Something's been
attacking the wards near this lost altar."
Foxtrot grins at Jade.
Lairu checks his arbalest again and slings it over his shoulders,
"We'll have to see what happens."
Mika notes quietly, "If it hits the paladin, most of this group
is committing suicide."
Tiberious says, "Aye we will"
Lairu says softly, "I have faith in Kij...she's always seen me
through."
Foxtrot fuzzles Jade.
Serin hopes it wasn't an altar to Valorik, but doesn't say anything.
Kaelyn nods slowly "erf... any idea what th'someth'n might be?
Mabsant Sighs quietly.
Mabsant perks... "something attacking a lost altar? I see. tell
us more?
Herne looks over his shoulder, and sees the cook heading towards
his kitchen, then motions you to follow. "Some group of figures,
they say they follow someone named 'Beryn', and wish to examine the gateway
there. We're trying to keep the wards up."
Mika blinks, ears going back.
Foxtrot follows Herne, frowning. "Isn't that where 'Pan'
was?"
Doro tilts her head and listens attentively.
Tiberious listens
Mabsant says, "Pan? The god of the remans, the satyr?"
Kaelyn nods, then grins as she waves to the cook "HI! Remember
me?" she yells trying to catch the cook's attention
You say, "Isn't *where* where Pan was?"
Shizouka blinks a little bit.. she looks slightly bored.
"Was. If I recall, however, that realm's been sealed in some
manner." Herne heads to the keep, and the cook glances at Kaelyn,
giving a cry of anguish at seeing her.
Kyn'Elwynn shuffles his feet a bit.
Lairu winces.
Tiberious chuckles
"These.. people.. are shadows, nothing more though. I don't
think they're even mortal." Herne looks troubled. "None of
your concern, however."
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Th'shadows are my concern, m'lord."
Serin offers to play tiddly-winks with Shizouka if she's bored.
Kyn'Elwynn moves towards Herne.
Herne nods to Kyn'Elwynn. "Then you may want to investigate.
The shadows seem to be taking a life of their own."
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Mayhaps I shall."
Shizouka blinks at Serin. She ums.. "what?"
Mika murmurs, "If they get Beryn to Kith Kanaan, it'll be everyone's
concern."
Doro murrs softly, "Who is Beryn?"
Mabsant says, "or what?"
He opens the door for the group, and torches flicker inside.
Servants are already setting places for everyone in the dining hall, and
Hawk is writing something on paper as you enter.
Mika glances at Doro. "You've heard of Arion?"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Time for that later, fellow furs."
Tiberious bows as He enters
Herne replies, "Beryn is.. Arion's opposite number. Some
members of the Brotherhood have said he is already here."
Kyn'Elwynn nods as he arrives. "Time tae mind manners."
Doro murrs softly, "Arion, yes..... Arion's opposite....
oh.... great."
Mabsant says, "Who is Arion?"
Kaelyn @.@
Strider has connected.
Herne looks at Mabsant, "A hidden faith follows Arion, one aspect
of the 'sun god'." Herne's voice is a touch cold on this matter.
Strider snaps back to attention.
Mabsant says, "Well.. would the opposite not be a moon goddess?"
Kaelyn headtilts anna listens.
Tiberious says, "More like a god of darkness"
Herne says, "That would be Sanguine. But where Arion was
the 'creator', Beryn is simply a 'destroyer'."
Kyn'Elwynn rolls his eyes. He speaks in hushed tones towards Mabsant,
"Must ye go on so? This can be handled later."
Mabsant says, "That--bother. the religions of theese places confuse
me."
Strider pats Mabsant's back, "Don't worry about it. There
are worse things to be confused about - and I know them all."
Hawk looks up. The tall, well-muscled and older wolf smiles,
"Greetings guests. This was unexpected, but I hope you do not mind
the lack of hospitality."
Tiberious says, "I think We have more important matters Friends"
Foxtrot bows as he enters the dining hall.
Mabsant Bows as well and makes his way in.
Foxtrot says, "Good evening, honoured lord. We apologise
for this intrusion, but pressing times warrant quick action."
Shizouka finds a quiet spot to sit down... all this talk confuses
her.
Tiberious bows and enters
Kaelyn grins slightly and bows a lil.
Lairu steps in, looking around slowly. He lifts his visor, then
takes off his helm.
Serin goes over to where Shizouka is sitting, taking out a bag.
Strider flicks an ear, peering around, "Interesting..."
... Kyn'Elwynn, a male Shadow Tiger looked at you ...
Serin says quietly to Shizouka, "Tiddly winks! It's a game
where you take a bunch of stones and try to flip them back into their bag.
You have to knock one stone against another."
Hawk nods, "I can understand. You would not be coming here
this late at night if it was not urgent. Please, sit."
Shizouka =^_^=
Foxtrot sits, quickly looking around. He waits for everyone
else to get comfortable.
Kyn'Elwynn, having now been invited to, finds a seat relatively
near Hawk's position, and takes it.
Kaelyn has a seat and relaxes
Herne looks at Kyn'Elwynn, sitting across from him at the table.
Mabsant Sits quietly, looking somewhat self concious.
Doro sits down, ears perked forward attentively.
Strider perfers to stand all things considered. He folds
his arms over, keeping relatively near the entrance.
Serin dumps out the stones, though his ears are turned to
the conversation.
A servant mutters to Kyn'Elwynn, "Please, sire, remember to return
the chair when you are finished with it."
Tiberious stands near Foxtrot and listens
Kyn'Elwynn OOCly swats some spoofer.
Shizouka looks at the stones.. She blinks a little, "um...
I don't know..."
Mabsant Listens quietly, thinking.
### Hawk offers his aid in controlling the Plague
Foxtrot looks around, then says, "There is talk of a plague in the
deserts around Anansie. This plague is not natural in origin it is
thought, and we are heading south to find its cause, and hopefully its
cure. However, we do not know how quickly it will spread, and I am
requesting you make a check-point just a little ways to the south, to prevent
it from spreading north."
"Here, I brought a spare headstone. You use that against
the red stones..." Serin says showing shizouka all about tiddly winks (quietly
from now on.)
Hawk frowns. "That serious, hmm? I recall last you
visited, and know your reputation. Very well, I will have a check
point set up by the morning. Will you be staying the night?"
Foxtrot nods. "If you would be so gracious. We need to determine
who will be leading our group."
Mabsant's gaze immediately shifts to Lairu, but he says nothing.
Hawk nods, "I understand. Please, my home is yours while
you are here. I already woke the cook to prepare foods for you all."
Shizouka giggles.
Foxtrot nods, "We thank you."
Kaelyn grins slightly "Can I go and visit th'cook? ^_^
Foxtrot glances at Kaelyn. "No."
"Mmm. Food would be good now." you say.
Strider flicks an ear, "Food... what an enchanting place... I'll
have to visit more regularily." He licks over his lips.
Kaelyn blinks innocently atta Foxtrot...
Mabsant steeples his claws, thinking.he has a curious expression
on his face, but unless someone's very skilled in bodyparl, it would be
quite enigmatic.
Kyn'Elwynn glances at the exchange between KAelyn and Foxtrot.
Servants come in, setting up plates and preparing food, taking
orders from the group.
Jade fuzzles Foxy and grins. "Remember... not your place to tell
her what she can and can't do."
Foxtrot eeps at Jade, and nods. "Which reminds me..."
Kyn'Elwynn comments, "Might be for th'best if there's been past
mishaps."
### Foxtrot bosses Hawk around in his own castle! And the vote for leader...
Foxtrot asks, "My lord, would you be so kind as to offer our group
about ten minutes of privacy?"
Shizouka looks around the room, She spots Lairu looking stoic and
starts twiddling her fingers at him... a quiet hushed few phrases coming
from her lips...
Tiberious goes and sits in a comfy chair and relaxes
Hawk nods, and stands, inviting Herne to walk with him, "Very well,
Lord Kurosawa." He salutes, and leaves, the servants closing the
doors behind them.
Kaelyn thbts atta Foxy with a slight grin on her face, she then
sits back to relaxe, as she writes something on a piece of parchment, and
makes it appear on the cook's worktable ^_^
Mika peers at Shizouka...
Lairu grins at Shizouka, then snickers, then starts to laugh. He
looks totally apologetic.
Foxtrot looks at the group, "Due to my nature, I am unable to lead
this expedition, and can only offer advice from time to time unless specifically
asked. We need to determine who will be the leader of this group.
Mabsant Stands up slowly and taps his fork against a glass. "Excuse
me?"
Serin uh ohs as one of his tiddly-winks starts glowing. "Shizouka?
What... hey!"
Kyn'Elwynn looks to Foxtrot. "Well, ye've barged intae th'Lord's
home, sat at his table and kicked 'im out of his room."
Foxtrot grins at Kyn. "I know, I think this night's started
off very wonderfully."
Jade smiles at Kyn. "I keep trying to tell him, but he doesn't
listen..."
Foxtrot asks, "Any nominations?"
Shizouka finishes her motions with a flick of her fingers.. a tiny
blue glow fades in and out around her paws. A tiny flower starts to nudge
its way out from Lairu's headfur.
Mabsant stands quietly, waiting for attention or permission to
speak, or whatever.
Kyn'Elwynn sends a disturbed glance towards the mis-use of magic.
Foxtrot looks at Mabsant?
Strider leans back against the wall, "Well I'm sure Mabsant there
has one." He smirks.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "A-HEM!"
Serin giggles. "Hawk may be king of the castle, but Foxtrot's
the dirty rascal alright!"
Mabsant says, "If i may, milord Foxtrot?"
Foxtrot nods to Mabsant.
Shizouka blinks?
Tiberious raises a brow
Kyn'Elwynn makes note to correct Shizouka later, lettign Mabsant
speak.
Serin prepares for the acceptance speech. He's always wanted
to lead a adventure!
Mabsant says, "Well.. I have been told by certain furs of high
esteem that my ideas are backwards, curmudgeony, and generally useless...
But, nevertheless, i do have a short peice to say."
Foxtrot nods?
Mabsant says, "It has been my experience that men and women without
a leader tend to create anarchy... And in turn, a poor leader creates anarchya
s well, albeit anarchy that leads to self destruction."
Foxtrot nods.
Mabsant says, "There are many good men and true in this group;
Healers, scholars, sages, and magicians alike. However, leadership has
allways been, where i come from, the task of the church and those who stand
for it."
Foxtrot raises an eyebrow at that.
Doro also raises an eyebrow.
Shizouka folds her paws and huffs lightly... she glances sidelong
at Lairu to see if he spots the little daisy on his head.
Lairu's daisy would be under his helm. Unless you wanted to put
it in his helmet plume.
Serin adds a little tickle spell to help Lairu notice.
Mabsant says, "Therefore, from what i ahve seen, it would be my
opinion that the apparent choice for our leader would be Lairu over here."
Mabsant says, "erm.. that's all."
Mabsant sits down.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "there be one opinion."
Foxtrot looks at the group, "Anybody second this?"
Shizouka hums to herself... a little unknown tune from her homeland.
Tiberious says, "AYE"
Kaelyn hmms and boredly humms 'gypsy Rover'
Foxtrot nods. "Any other nominees?"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Can we consider our strengths?"
Foxtrot nods to Kyn. "Of course."
You say, "How 'bout Kay'lin? She'd make a good leader."
Lairu is afk a sec...
Kaelyn blinks?
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "First off, what can each as a leader provide
for th'rest as followers? Also, what weaknesses do we ha'e present as well
as in th'one elected?"
Kaelyn then sighs in relief, her name's pronounced Kahleen ^_^
Mabsant says, "Well... we can allways go around the room and list
our good qualities for leadership."
Shizouka scritches her cheek lightly.. she looks around..glancing
at the fur who gave her the nasty look earlier. ^o.o^
"Well, since you know the cook, you can get us all the best food!
Kahleen. Got it." you say.
Foxtrot hmms.
Kyn'Elwynn motions to Foxtrot. "Ye excluded yerself from leadership.
Should I assume this carries over for Jade as well?"
Strider flicks an ear, tilting his head to the side, "Well perhaps
someone should lead in a call for order so we can figure this out eh?"
Jade grins. "Hai. You should."
Kyn'Elwynn is trying to do things orderly...
Foxtrot shakes his head, "This does not exclude Jade. She
is a daimyo, and her lands are affected if this plague spreads too far
north."
Mabsant says, "Well... My strengths? Well.. i do try to make order
from chaos, and i'm good at bargaining. i don't think i'd make a very good
leader, though. I'm all sound and fury, but i signify nothing."
Foxtrot pauses and looks at Jade, "This does exclude Jade, as she
has stated as such, and overrules me."
Doro leans back in her chair. "You can exclude me too."
Kyn'Elwynn blinks at Mabsan'ts odd wording.
Jade chuckles quietly and fuzzles Foxy.
Serin is a bit young to be leading grizzled a'venturerers.
^.^
Shizouka wiggles her toes.
Foxtrot eeps and snugs Jade.
Kyn'Elwynn looks to Tiberious.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Ye, m'lord?"
Tiberious looks Up "Uh ....Well I have no qualities for being
a leader."
Kaelyn yawns...
Foxtrot, Jade, Mabsant, Doro, Tiberious, Kyn'Elwynn, Shizouka,
Strider and Kaelyn have, for some reason, begun to fantasize.
Vex[04:25], Mika[04:03] and Lairu[04:06] have become quite petrified,
almost solid as rock. Perhaps a nudge is in order?
Watcher lurk about seemingly unnoticed.
Kyn'Elwynn mutters a bit and turns towards Mika.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Lass?""
Kaelyn umms "I'm nae th'best large group leader... not t'mention,
I tend t'be a tad... blunt ^_^
Foxtrot hmms, "That explains your horn.. you really should get
that sharpened."
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "an' capricious at times."
Kaelyn thbts atta foxtrot "it's sharp 'nough...
Shizouka sits down on the flagstones, hugging her knees. She looks
back at all the people talking..
Mika stretches and blinks. "Me?" She grins. "Oh come now, Kyn,
would you really want to place a group like this under my command? Granted,
I could think of some interesting things to do, but really..." The vixen
winks. "Besides, there are things going on... I may be forced to shift
my attention elsewhere."
Kaelyn shrugs "hey, y'live a couple thousand years an see how ye
take life ^_^
Serin imagines a unicorn putting its horn against a spinning whetstone.
O.O
Foxtrot nods, "When we raid Jigoku, we can put Mika-sama in charge."
Mabsant says, "I still say that Lairu is the obvious choice."
Strider frowns, looking over the group with a tilt of his head.
The jackal considers to himself.
Doro grins to Foxtrot.
Kyn'Elwynn nods. "As might I. This matter of shadows with sentience
is tresspass upon my domain an' interest. I fear my longevity in this party."
he looks towards strider.
Kaelyn shrugs "okies, what skills d'we have here...
Foxtrot grins at Doro.
Jade looks at Doro and Foxtrot?
Mabsant says, "Healer... alchemist... hunter, tracker... archer...
and i have a way with bears."
Foxtrot hmms. "Lairu, your comments?" He looks at Mabsant,
"And you?"
Tiberious ahems "ANd A mage
Strider grins to Kyn'Elwynn, "I'd like to lead. It's just
who'd want to follow. I'm too simple minded for some furs likings."
You say, "Well you care for the furrs of the slums. That
is honorable."
Lairu clears his throat.
Kyn'Elwynn nods towards the jackal.
Lairu grins, "Looking for a leader?"
Shizouka blinkles and looks over at lairu.
Vex offers to take Shinji by the hand with her.
Mabsant says, "Yes, i daresay..."
Mabsant rolls his eyes a little.
Strider smiles to Serin, a jackal smile, "It's where I live.
I have to care."
Lairu crosses his eyes slightly, and takes off his helm, looking
at the plume.
Lairu says softly, "Well...anyway..."
Kaelyn shrugs "lil of everythin', mostly shapeshifter, mage, druid,
ranger, and mostly healer sometimes cook too ^_^
Shinji takes Vex by the hand.
Shinji just sneaks in behind Kaelyn. =)
Lairu says softly, "If I'm leader, things will be by the book.
No nasty backstabbing or treachery."
Strider arches up a brow, "There was going to be those things otherwise?"
Shizouka yays!
Lairu says softly, "I've lead groups of adventurers before, though...not
one quite so large and powerful as this, be sure."
Shinji hides his dagger... ^_-
Mabsant says, "I should hope not. At least, considering the purpose
of this group, i would assume we'd be at least a good oriented party."
Mika mouths, just out of Lairu's view, 'Unless he's not looking.'
Doro hides a soft chuckle behind her paw.
Lairu plucks the daisy from his plume. And eats it.
Lairu says softly, "So, is that alright with all of you?"
Foxtrot glances at Mika.
Mabsant says, "I say we take a vote."
Mika smiles innocently.
Lairu says softly, "Ahh...Democrates."
Kaelyn ummmms.... "well a little bit of bein sneaky could
be good.....
Kyn'Elwynn fears for the lives of all of Anansie with this group's
lack of discipline. It shows on his face too.
Shizouka giggles at Lairu.
You say, "Well, does Strider have anything else to say? He's
the only other one willing to be leader."
Strider chuckles to Serin, "I'd be a better deputy. He can
do all the work and I'd look cute." The jackal jests.
Mabsant says, "I am willing to be a leader; i simply do not esteem
myself to be worthy of leading a group of older, more experienced adventurers."
Kyn'Elwynn says to Mabsant, "Confidence in skills would be a requirement,
if ye dun feel yerself qualified, dun offer."
You say, "Well that's ok Mabsant. We love you anyway.
^.^"
Kaelyn oy's, then looks to foxy and jade "if either of ye two were
asked t'lead, could ye?
Foxtrot raises an eyebrow. "If asked."
Mabsant nods at Kyn. "You are right, of course.
Foxtrot feels... so.. vulcan sometimes.
Jade wrinkles her nose with an "Oh damn" look.
Serin catches Foxtrot's eyebrow before it escapes!
Shizouka places her tails in her lap and starts to comb them out.
Kaelyn hmms "I nominate Foxtrot, he's got th'most information on
what's goin' on.
Mabsant says, "All right, comrades... We have two candidates. All
in favour of electing Strider?"
( The Phoenix Inquistion then Questions Foxtrot. =) )
Strider steps away from the wall where he was leaning and steps
over to lean on the table with his knuckles, "Either way.. No.. no... no...
Mab."
Doro rubs beneath her eyepatch and sighs softly.
Foxtrot shakes his head. "Iye, Kaelyn-san. I will not
lead. Offer advice, yes. Lead, no. I would have to defer
my authority to Jade-sama."
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Kaelyn seems tae feel Foxtrot is more worthy
than Lairu. Any seconds?"
Mabsant says, "Er, it looks like he just resigned from the race..."
Kaelyn hmms "ok, then jade ^_^
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Or perhaps Jade.."
Kaelyn wickers softly, "But foxtrot has th'most ready information"
Mabsant says, "a leader who does not wish to lead should not...
i paraphrase Kyn'Elwynn."
Tiberious says, "Even though he has the most information He probably
would rather stay here and keep the inhabitents of the shire from going
into a panick."
You say, "All the better not to put him in the leader's focus."
Foxtrot says, "I third Lairu as leader, IF he's willing to accept."
Lairu says softly, "I'll do it."
Strider shakes his head to Mabsant, "Was never in the race."
He winks to his bear friend.
Kaelyn umms and shrugs...
Foxtrot asks, "Any strong objections?"
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "eems he's th'only one willin' tae accept th'mantle."
"I mean..." you say, "the person who knows the most should be off
to the side, advising the leader."
Kaelyn wickers softly, "No not really..."
Shinji fluffs Kaelyn's mane idly. "What're we doing?"
Doro stands up. "Look Foxtrot-san and Jade-sama said they
did not wish to lead. Lairu says he has experience, so let him be
the leader and enough of this drivel."
Mabsant says, "Nag ydw."
Foxtrot looks around the table, then nods. "Good."
### ...is Lairu! The holy palidan/silly otter will represent us before Sir Hawk
Kaelyn replies to Shinji "Goin' t'stop an unatural plague inna Anansie
Mabsant nods.
Lairu says softly, "Okay, let's get this show on the road."
Strider nods, "Less talk, more action. The sooner this is
beat, the sooner we go home as heroes and get the girls... er..."
Lairu says softly, "Have we got any loose cannons here?"
Foxtrot looks at Lairu. "Congratulations, kiptin."
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Let th'lord of th'manor back into his own
parlor"
Mabsant rises, picking up his (presumably laid out) chalice. "Well,
i suppose the proper thing would be to toast our new leader.
Shinji wickers, "Ooooh. That's in our job description, isn't
it?"
Jade fuzzles Foxy and murmurs, "Remind me to get you back later."
Kyn'Elwynn nods to Lairu. "Many."
Foxtrot mews at Jade?
Serin might fit in a loose cannon...
The servants have finished setting the table with all manners of
foodstuffs, and shortly after, the doors open and Hawk enters.
Shizouka hugs her knees together and looks around.
Lairu rises, and nods to Hawk, "Good evening. Sorry if I was a
little quiet before - this bunch has elected me to lead them through the
trials to come."
Mabsant says, "Come. Fill your chalices with wine or whatever,
and rise, i prithee.."
Strider grins, "Eh, if my sister likes the lug, I suspose I can
deal with him as a leader. Toast to that."
Hawk nods, and bows politely. "You would be Lairu, would
you not?"
Lairu says softly, "Aye, that's me. I was going to choose a second
in case I should fall, but that can wait."
Foxtrot stands, cup of sake in his paw. "Bonzai!"
You are carrying:
Serin's Journal
water
Done.
Tiberious walks up to Lairu "I'm honered to serve under you
M'lord"
Mabsant raises his chalice. "Drink Hail to Lairu of the Solinar!
wassail!"
Kyn'Elwynn face-palms.
Mika glances at Tiberious and murmurs almost to herself, "That
should be my line."
Serin grabs a glass of water, sloshing it masterfully in toast.
"To The Plague's Bane!"
Shinji wickers, "Is it just me, or is more of a roving toga party
than an adventuring group?"
Lairu says softly, "We're new."
Foxtrot sits down and sips his sake.
Doro murrs softly, "It's turning into a toga party."
Kyn'Elwynn looks to Shinji. "I do agree with ye, m'lord."
Mabsant looks at Shinji. "What do you mean by that?
Serin blushes, putting the glass down and looking around embarassedly
before hiding under the table.
Kaelyn smiles at Shinji "Aye, it would be...
Strider peers over the array of food, more interested in it then
anything else at current. Every so often her grabs a little tidbit
and feeds himself, delighting in all the flavours.
Kaelyn would go bouncing around inna toga, but would probably get
pounced
Kyn'Elwynn offers up his tankard of ale to Lairu. "G'luck to ye
paladin."
Hawk nods, "Well, please. Eat and rest. I must retire
unfortunately."
Shinji kerPOUNCES Kaelyn anyway; ignoring everyone else.
Lairu smiles, "Thanks, Kyn."
Herne enters, and watches the group, staying out of the way.
Doro nods to Hawk.
Serin notices that the only long cloth in the room is covered in
food. No one would want to use *that*!
Kyn'Elwynn acks softly, "M'lord?"
Lairu nods to Hawk, "Rest well."
Kaelyn falls over @>@
Kyn'Elwynn tries to get eithe Hawk or Herne's attention.
Hawk nods, and departs.
Mabsant looks back and forth, noticing his exceedingly tudor gesture
went unnoticed. so he sits down.
Shizouka finds a space at the table... sitting down and daintily
finding some food to eat.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Bugger."
Herne looks at Kyn'Elwynn, and approaches.
Tiberious bows as Hawk Exits
Foxtrot looks the food over. Not finding anything to his
liking, he shrugs, and offers Jade a rice cake.
Kyn'Elwynn nods to Herne. "I wish tae speak of other matters for
a time if I might have yer ear?"
Strider talks, while munching on... something. "So.. we're
camping out here tonight and continuing on tomorrow?"
Herne nods solemnly. "If it would help you, of course."
Jade mms? She munches onna rice cake.
Lairu nods to Strider, "Perhaps it would be best."
Kyn'Elwynn speaks softly.
Mika leans over, murmuring quietly to Lairu.
Serin pops up in an empty space next to Foxtrot, looking hungrily
at the rice cakes.
Lairu tilts his head.
Foxtrot blinks and offers Serin a rice cake.
Strider leans over and nudges Mabsant with an elbow, "This would
be a superb time to practice our act. Check out the crowd."
You say, "Oh thank you. These 're so good. *crunch*
*crunch*"
Shinji cuddles Kaelyn. "Mew. =)"
... Jade, a Female Mephit (Nogitsune) looked at you ...
Doro eats lightly.... and blinks as she overhears Strider.
Jade looks at Serin and giggles quietly.
Tiberious eats a bit
Kyubiko goes home.
Mabsant takes his slice of stale bread and piles meat onto it.
he takes out a knife and eats with it, trying to be proper.
Shizouka chooses a few items to eat... munching in a rather mannered
way...
Serin retreats with his prize under the table again.
Foxtrot nibbles his rice cake, and just watches the group.
### Mabsant has a great idea.
Mabsant says, "oh yes... everyone, i don't beleive we're all introduced?"
Mabsant says, "Why don't we each introduce ourselves with a bit
of history and such?"
Shizouka smiles and sets her utensils down, waving a tail hello.
Kyn'Elwynn has his back to the group, talking to Herne. Heh.
Kaelyn umms and nudges Shinji "I think we're supposed to be serious
this time
Shinji wickers, "Do we have to?"
You say, "That sounds like fun, Mabsant!"
Kaelyn ummms "I think we do, if'n kyn wants t'keep his saniity
^_^
### Uh oh... Mumbles. What's that Kyn'Elwynn up to?
Herne mumbles, "My .... .. ...... ..... .. Hawk's Freehold, ...
. ...... Reclaimer."
Lairu sits back down again, "It might be a good idea, too."
Mabsant says, "i'll go first, if you like."
Kyn'Elwynn's ears flick up at mention of his name.
Doro mumbles, "....... wanting . meet and greet ... is .... ....
sir"
Lairu says softly, "Any objections?"
Mika grins. "I believe our leader should start, actually. It's
only fair, right?"
Foxtrot shakes his head, "No problem."
Lairu says softly, "Well...alright."
Mabsant says, "Aye, you are right."
Kyn'Elwynn ahs softly and continues..
Strider shakes his head, "Sounds like a plan."
Kaelyn grins and catches a servant, and asks for sugarcookies,
prepaired in a specific way before sending him off ^_^
Kyn'Elwynn mumbles, ". wish we could .... met .. a .... tense .......
Ye had said this Beryn ... an ........ of ......"
Herne mumbles, ".... .. meetings .... the members .. ... ...........

Serin hides from the dots!
Lairu says softly, "For those of you who don't know me, my name
is Lairu. I am a paladin of the sun goddess, Kij, and I've come to this
land from far away to smash evil and tyrany wherever it takes root. Other
than that, I love to cook. Any questions?""
Shizouka peers at the mumbling furs.. she finishes eating and wipes
her mouth off, looking over at them.
Kyn'Elwynn's ears flatten some.
Doro has her ears perked to the conversation between Kyn and Herne.
Kaelyn nods slowly "Aye, what are yer favorite dishes t'cook?
Foxtrot pokes Kaelyn under the table with a tail.
Lairu says softly, "Marlin."
Kaelyn eeps atta poke
Lairu says softly, "Who's next?"
Herne mumbles, "..... exists .. ... realm of ....... and seems
to .. able .. strip the identity of ........ ....... them .... formless
........."
Kyn'Elwynn mumbles, ". ..... ... ... this ... .... ... ..... but
.. apparently ........ ...... I .... as much .. ye ... ...... .. well ..

Strider grins toothily, "I'll go sir."
Lairu says softly, "By all means."
Mabsant laughs! "And do you cook stuffed mushrooms? i love stuffed
mushrooms!
Mabsant will go next. :)
Herne nods to Kyn'Elwynn. "Find Hoshi Wakeru, that is all
I know so far."
Kyn'Elwynn nods. "I thank ye fer yer time, I apologize for keepin'
ye. Last query, where might I find this one?"
Herne swats people who look at her, she simply changed her name
for this. ;>
Herne hmms. "To the north I think."
Strider relaxes his stance, unfolding his arms, "Strider.
Just Strider. Most of you know me through my sister Koji or my delightful
mother Kaylin. I'm an assistant peacekeeper to Thraxarious right
now, in training as a real one. My spare time is spent getting drunk
and performing bad comedy acts with the bear over there."
Kaelyn headtilts "hoshi?
You say, "Wakaru comes by FurryShire regularly, Kyn. I don't
know what business you have wif him, but prepare to be confuse."
Mabsant Grins and waves.
Kyn'Elwynn nods to Herne. "Again, I thak ye for th'information."
Herne nods, and excuses himself for the night.
Mabsant stands up next.
Kyn'Elwynn pads over to the table and sits beside Mika.
Strider ohs, adding on, "I'm also presently single for any females
who might be interested in the charms of a jackal."
From outside, you can hear the cook, "Le poisson, le poisson, how
I *love* le poisson! How I *love* to *chop* little feesh!"
Kyn'Elwynn nods to Serin in thanks as well.
Shizouka sticks her tongue out. "silly males."
Lairu tilts his head. Fish?
Shizouka giggles.
Foxtrot hugs Jade and nuzzles her as he listens. "If you
wish, I can go next."
Serin hopes the cook isn't violent with escaped crabs.
Kaelyn wiggles her fingers and makes one of the crabs chase the
cook around? j/k
Mabsant says, "I'm Mabsant son of Mathonwy. I'm not from around
here--In fact, noone else even knows of my homeland, Wales, on a planet
called Terra Mater. I used to be a paladin and priest, however, I
was recently excommunicated because of a crisis of faith and am now merely
an alchemist and healer. I've been told i stick my nose into other
people's business, so just kick me if i do. I've been diagnosed with chronic
depression, so if i suddenly start being an arse, just wait it out and
i'll bring you a complete apology when i get back to my senses. i'm the
shire's local drag queen. Erm, that's about all."
Strider nods in agreement with Mabsant, "And he does look spiffy
in a dress."
( Blue Raja from Mystery Men does a lot of the voices on Simpsons.
)
Foxtrot looks at Mabsant and hmms.
Lairu pats Mabsant on the shoulder.
Shizouka goes [IC] In-Character.
Path to Hawk's House and Smithy
You walk down the path and see a sprawling house and a small smithy
under a huge oak tree. The house looks smaller than it really is.
You
hear the whuffing of a bellows and the chiming of a blacksmith's
hammer
wafting toward you and see a light pall of smoke coming from the
smithy.

( The cook's voice is heard from outside. "Ah veel cut off your
head, and fry you vith bread, but you veel not feel it cuz you're dead!
*chop*" )
Lairu whispers to Kaelyn.
You say, "So... who's next?"
Foxtrot says, "I will."
Lairu says softly, "Go ahead."
Shizouka perks her ears up.
Kyn'Elwynn idly ponders how someoen from another world got through
the God's ban on this one.
Kaelyn yawns... she then stretches "Guess me next eh?
Foxtrot coughs a moment, then hmms. "My name is Kurosawa
Tashiro noh Kurosawa, but I am more often known as Foxtrot. I am
a kitsune from the land called Naipon, from the provinces of Edo."
He hmms, "I am myobu.. a guardian of Inari, and jono... a spiritualist
and channeler. I am skilled in spirit lore, manipulation of life
essence, banishment, purification, chijutsu, sword fighting, tactics, magical
theory, summoning, and scouting."
You say, "I can go after Kaelyn."
Shinji is snoring in the back, having fallen asleep several minutes
ago.
Kaelyn pokies shinji inna bum with an arrow?
Shinji ow's! He grabs Kaelyn's arm (assuming she poked him
by holding the arrow) and tries to flip her over to him!
Shizouka watches everyone try to be the next to talk.. she folds
her arms and waits.
Lairu nods to Foxtrot, "Well done. Who's next."
Tiberious Quietly waits not in a hurry
Mabsant Sits quietly, finishing off the meat and starting on the
somewhat softened bread. he stares off into space accross the table, presumably
not looking at anyone. or not.
Foxtrot nuzzles Jade, and smiles, resting against her.
Serin thought Kaelyn was next.
Kaelyn grins "I'm Kaelyn Silverleaf, I don't really go big into
titles, and really cannot recall ALL of m'title right now. But I be a high
druid of Mana, am also a ranger, mage, and healer. I am skilled in archery,
tracking, hunting, herbal lore, I am familiar with many of the animals
that live on kith kanaan. I can speak several languages, dragon, hinde
and ancient dragon being some of them. Also I'm a little handy with a rapier,
main gauche, and spear.
Serin is in awe of all the amazing furrs around him.
Shinji pounces Kaelyn from behind in revenge for the arrow poke.
"An' I'm Shinji. Ah Kin Lift Heavy Objects an' put them down.
An' some other stuff."
Kaelyn gets smooshed...
Lairu nods to Kaelyn, "Thank you...well cone."
Kaelyn nudges shinji "the idea here is to tell them yer skills,
silly...
Shinji wickers, "Oh... that."
Shinji wickers, "I'm pretty good at hand to hand fighting; I'm
learning magic from Kae; and I have a direct connection to the Land."
Kaelyn hmms "oh, he's good at reading th'land, a decent hunter
and tracker, and can't really cook too well
Shinji wickers, "HEY!"
Foxtrot wonders what's with kaelyn and cooking.
Shinji wickers, "You werne't supposed to tell them that!"
Lairu hmms.
Shinji tickles Kaelyn!
Mabsant nibbles on a breadcrust, still gazing accross the table,
either lost in thought or just lost.
Foxtrot snugs Jade quietly, and chuckles.
Serin stands, still a head shorter than the next shortest furr.
"I suppose I'm next..."
Kaelyn eeps...
Strider smiles down to Serin, "Go for it kiddo."
Shinji lost his mind a long time ago. It still sends alimony
checks though!
Serin speaks slowly and deliberately. "My name is Serin.
I'm from a land far away, across the kingdom of the Demon King. Hoshi
Wakaru is from the same place. I grew up in a caravan for 3 years
after I escaped my father. Coming through that horrible land, though,
was too much for us. All of my adopted family is gone, and I'm the
only one left. But it's okay. I got apprenticed to the Geomancer
Chi, and now I can finally study magic like I want to. He gets too
worked up over stones though. I like healing much better."
Lairu nods, "Well met, Shinji. Though we've met before."
Strider smiles to Serin, folding his arms back over his chest.
Tiberious relaxes listening to everyone tell about them selves
Shizouka looks around... she tries to see if anyone else wants
to go...
Lairu says softly, "Shizouka, how about you?"
Kyn'Elwynn is lost in thought, not really paying attention to the
round of introductions.
Shizouka stands up, bowing lightly. She smiles and speaks in a
soft but clear enough to be heard tone, "Hello, I am Shizouka Mukai. Sister
to Minako. I am living in the shire because I chose not to be involved
in politics back home. I have studied Magic and several other things back
home at the Academy, so I hope to help some with that. Oh.. even though
I look like a kitsune, I'm not.. I'm a little diffrent. Where I am from
the sky is filled with stars in an eternal starry night." she smiles and
bows again, her long white hair swaying back and forth.
You say, "Wow. I thought you were a Skunk."
Foxtrot smiles, "And she's cute, too."
Shizouka waves both of her tails where people can see. She sticks
her tongue out at Foxtrot and wiggles her nose.
Tiberious tilts his head a bit
Foxtrot chuckles.
Lairu smiles, and puts an arm around Mika, murmuring to her softly,
then nodding to Shizouka.
Kaelyn didn't mention how old she was onna purpose ^_^
Shinji wickers, "She's three million years old."
Doro has become terminally idle.
Shizouka's ears turn a bit red at the scrutiny.. she sits down
and tries to regain a little composure.
Lairu says softly, "Who's left?"
Shinji points at Kaelyn.
Doro has unidled.
Kaelyn pokes shinji "notta shade over 2780
Kyn'Elwynn is, technically
Shinji wickers, "Suuuuuuure."
Jade murmurs, "Kurosawa Jade - or just Jade is fine." She points
to Foxy. "I'm his mate and daimyo, and also a kitsune, specifically of
time. I seem to be a lot better at supporting fighters than playing one
myself... and I might have to work on that more. In the meantime, I'm decent
with my crossbow and various elemental tricks. Being spirits, it's also
worth noting that we're limited by a few laws most of you aren't."
Shizouka huffs! "No... not that old..."
Lairu says softly, "Oh great, I'm twenty."
Lairu grins at Mika, "Horray for the underdog, hmm?"
Tiberious says, "I supose i'll go nxt"
Kyn'Elwynn looks about a bit, coming out of reverie. "Hmm? what's
goin' on?"
Mabsant says, "I'm sixteen. I feel like an infant now."
Doro murrs softly, "Folks introducing themselves."
Mika grins back at Lairu.
Kyn'Elwynn ahs.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Who's lft?"
Shizouka crosses her legs and folds her arms in her lap. "Everyone
is so obsessed with age..."
Tiberious says, "I will go next"
Strider grins, "All I know about my age is that I have my youthful
good looks."
"Don't worry, Shizourka. I'm 9 years old! Everyone
looks old to me." you say.
Kyn'Elwynn asides to Strider. "As do I, but appearance doesn't
account for age."
Lairu grins at Mika, "You know, this group just might pull through."
Mabsant pats serin on the head.
Kaelyn grins slightly then motions to Shinji "an he's the equivalent
of 4 ^_^
Mika winks at Lairu. "If we can survive tonight..."
Mabsant points at Strider. "Mentally, he's around six.
Shinji thhhbbbbbttttts at Kaelyn and pokes her tummy
Serin giggles, and squirms back under the table, peeking out with
bright eyes.
Mabsant grins over at lairu. "You thought we wouldn't?"
Tiberious sighs and goes back to listing
Strider bahs, "I make up for it with my wit and charm."
Lairu looks around, "I'm very proud to have been elected to lead
his group." He stands. "I think I owe Mabsant a word of thanks for his
suggestion. I feel as if perhaps tensions have settled a little now that
we've introduced ourselves.
Mika chuckles softly and looks at Tiberious.
Kyn'Elwynn motions to Tiberious.
Foxtrot nods.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Uhm.. paladin?"
Mabsant's ears turn pinkish.
Kyn'Elwynn pokes LAiru.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "'Ees not introduced 'imself.""
Shizouka rocks her feet back and forth... breathing out in a puff.
Mika licks Vex!
Kyn'Elwynn motions for Tiberious to speak again.
Doro fluffs Vex!
Vex has disconnected.
Kaelyn hmmms "of course, shinji makes a great......
Tiberious waves Kyn off "Don't matter about me Sir like you said
Noone listens anyway
Shinji glares at Kaelyn. "Don't."
Kyn'Elwynn chuckles. "If I said that under my breath, it seems
at least ye listen."
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Fine.. an' well, has anyone nae introduced
themselves?"
Mabsant Walks over quietly, standing next to Lairu. "Can i get
you anything, sir?"
Foxtrot shouts "There is new RPNews. "rpnews" to read. (automated
message)" (Wiz-@all-shout)
Strider leans over and mumbles to Mabsant.
Strider mumbles, "..... .... .... luck."
Mabsant mumbles, "I ....... ... foggiest .... .... you're .......
...... .. quiet. ;)"
Strider laughs and pats Mabsant on the back, "You're weird my dress
wearing bear friend."
Serin's belly is full. Quite comfortable under here.

Mabsant says, "I try. after all--a party of friends is an efficient
and heroic one."
Foxtrot hmms, and stands, bowing politely. "Pardon my lack
of manners, but my wife and I have things to wrap up back home before we
can continue. We will meet with you again in the morning?"
Kyn'Elwynn nods a little.
Serin begins quietly snoring underneath the table.
Kyn'Elwynn rumbles, "Sleep well Foxtrot-san and m'lady Jade-sama."
Shizouka giggles.
Jade smirks faintly as she gets up and bows as well. "Good evening
to you all."
Lairu says softly, "Take care, Foxtrot."
Strider nods to Foxtrot, "Pleasant dreams sirrah."
Mabsant Gets under the table and picks up the ferret kit. he holds
the child gently, rocking him back and forth. "Oughtn't be sleeping on
the floor.
Foxtrot waves, "Thank you. Take care, Lairu-sama."
Doro waves
### Uh oh. Vex's asleep. And that means...
Vex goes home.
### Auto home! And we're all holding her hands er... tails. er...
Foxtrot leaves, with Jade walking along with him.
Vex takes you along with her, holding your hand.
{-------------------------------------------------------------------------}
Vex's Realm
Under a darkened sky, streaked with shades
of violet, is Vex's midnight retreat. Her home is a very, very large
rock, floating in the void, surrounded by smaller rocks that orbit slowly
through space.
Vex's retreat is a shimmering, midnight
blue pool, surrounded by willow trees that hang over the water. Koi
swim through the water, giving it a sparkling, rippling pattern as it catches
the indigo light of the sky.
A small path leads from the edge of the
floating stone, to the heart of the pool, smooth and worn down with many
travels. At the edge of the pool, it blends into the waters, leaving
a small beach to rest at.
To the far side of the pool is a worn,
ivy-strewn arch, with broken, white leaning pillars from some long-forgotten
building. The faint sound of the aether's winds blow through the
trees, and echoes through the bamboo reeds that grow in the shallows of
the pool.
The realm is serene, and shows a softer,
romantic side to its owner, that will never be admitted.

Lairu offers to take Mika by the paw with him.
Mika takes Lairu by the paw.
Tiberious releases Vex's hand.

Kyn'Elwynn releases Vex's hand.

Mabsant releases Vex's hand.
Doro releases Vex's hand.
"I gotta get to sleep, wherever they let you sleep in Hawk's castle."
you say.
Shizouka huffs and looks at herself. "I need to get my P.J's."
(Oyuki)
A small and youthful vixen smiles at you.
About three feet tall, she is perhaps ten years of age. Her long
white hair hangs down in bouncy ponytail down her back, dancing and swaying
as she walks as if it has a life of it's own. A few strands escape
to play before her soft, ice blue eyes which sparkle with light flecks
of gold and contain a friendly warmth.
Oyuki's fur is a lovely snow white.
She wears the simple clothing of a pilgrim from Naipon, a simple white
blouse made from cotton, long sleeved with a sash to tie it closed.
A loose, dusty brown hakama covers her legs, tucked into a pair of calf-length
tabby boots which are tied up the side. The boots are split toe which
allows for better footing.
Around her waist is a braided rope-belt
made from fine silk which supports her pants as well as her hip pouch.
The final pieces of clothing are a thick calf length vest of a royal blue
color, and upon each breast are finely embroidered snow flakes about two
inches in diameter, and and her jingasa, which has a braided silk cord
which slips down under her muzzle to keep it on her head.
She moves with an easy grace that show
an inner strength and determination of purpose, what that may be is any
ones guess, perhaps you could ask? She smiles warmly at you, a playful
wink to keep you guessing and maybe bring a smile to your heart.
Strider smiles and steps over to fuzzles Serin's headfur, ever
so fond of youth. "Yah. But the bear here works as a good pillow."
Tiberious says, "OH this is lovly"
Mabsant gives the kit a hug. The ursine healer sighs and remembers
how much he loves children... and how he'll never have any of his own.
sigh.
Doro finishes her ale and sis back.
Tiberious says, "Well Good night all and Plesent dreams"
Kyn'Elwynn nods to Tib.
Serin mumbles good night, finding a warm place to sleep.
Vex's Realm
Under a darkened sky, streaked with shades
of violet, is Vex's midnight retreat. Her home is a very, very large
rock, floating in the void, surrounded by smaller rocks that orbit slowly
through space.
Vex's retreat is a shimmering, midnight
blue pool, surrounded by willow trees that hang over the water. Koi
swim through the water, giving it a sparkling, rippling pattern as it catches
the indigo light of the sky.
A small path leads from the edge of the
floating stone, to the heart of the pool, smooth and worn down with many
travels. At the edge of the pool, it blends into the waters, leaving
a small beach to rest at.
To the far side of the pool is a worn,
ivy-strewn arch, with broken, white leaning pillars from some long-forgotten
building. The faint sound of the aether's winds blow through the
trees, and echoes through the bamboo reeds that grow in the shallows of
the pool.
The realm is serene, and shows a softer,
romantic side to its owner, that will never be admitted.

Things: Bonsai Garden
You see nothing special.
What you hold before you is a small, shallow clay pot, rectangular
in
shape with ornate paintings of magnificent Eastern dragons flying
through clouds, Reaching mountaintops, and a nine-tailed fox sitting
on a chair with radiant light coming from behind it. Held within
the
pot are many fine grains of sand, flakes of mica, obsidian, granite
and the like carefully settled into place. A few larger stones,
smoothed by tumbling in running springs, are set about seemingly
in
random areas. There is a small wooden object, looking similar to
a
rake, but having about 7 tines of wood roughly as thick as the
handle
set to the side. The centerpiece to this is a small, twisting plant,
looking similar to a pine that reaches outward instead of upwards.
The branches twist and the sinews show of an age remarkable for
this
miniscule tree. The foliage is lush, a dark green that is firm.
The
entire item is presented as a work of creativity, art, meditation,
peace and form. When held to the light, it seems small shadows
dance
about, playing tricks upon the eye. Maybe if you 'inspect' you
can
see them clearly.
Kyn'Elwynn OOCly reccomends, any characters going to 'sleep' leave
Vex's home, I'm sure she doesn't want the unwelcomed sleepers ;)
Tiberious goes home.
### And it's done.
You go home...

Serin's quarters
----------------------------------------------------------------
Serin's room
This humbly lit room starkly contrasts the grandeur of Chi's Orb.
It is round in shape,with no corners, and a curved door. The 'walls'
are brown, almost sod colored, giving the appearance of a cozy den.
There is a small bed to the side, and a 'desk' with meticulously sorted
papers. Separate from the papers is a chromatically shining 'Mana
Prism.' Above the desk, a tiny point of light hangs in midair, casting
a cheery glow all around. A second 'glow' shines from the top of
the ceiling. The floor is relatively clean. There is a 'squeaky
ball' off in the corner next to a hand woven 'wastebasket' full of used
papers. A 'picture' drawn in charcoal of Chi next to Serin hangs
on the wall.

Mon Jul 10 21:28 Serin -- Midnight -- Day 1
Dear Journal,
Today, I had the most wonderful time! There's terrible news though. A plague has struck Anansie! Pretty soon it might hit the Gypsy camp and the slums. Then who knows how many furrs would die. But we're doing something about it! Right now I'm in the castle of a furr named Hawk who's really nice. He made us feel at home, and promised to close the borders to hold back the plague. Some people said it might not work, but it's a good first step.
Mabsant let me sleep on his back. Well... I didn't exactly ask, but he's a deep sleeper an' he's warm too. ^.^ We all got to tell each other about ourselves, and I'm so glad to see so many brave furrs on this grave task. I hope we succeed for the sake of all the sick furrs out there.
G'night! ^.^
