I would drink w/ u but I cant do that anymore I found something else out last night wich I havent told him yet just guess!

Hey

OOC

She was someone who had been banned from here!
ooc:

OOC
Quite a long story there mate!

OOC
Quite a long story there mate!
ooc:
was she being an arss?

Kind of....

OOC
She was also Serafima...or Tish.....

from what I heard, she was making a habit out of making a scene. Her first character Tish when through so many changes so quickly that people became confused and just plain tired. her stories started to look like cries for attention. she was banned but Tinks gave her a second chance provided that she pass any story ideas to Tinks. Fen behaved for a while then started carrying on Tish's legacy... so she was booted again... recently she tried to sneak back in as Jess but made the mistake of posting as Sparklemist.... while Tinks was here and she got booted again.

[sigh] :(

*Stalks over to the hot tub, jumps in, and encloses it in a thin dome of ice*
ooc:
grrrrr...

BRB

*Peers into the tub*

That's a first!

[put's an arm around his shoulders] Can't say... my suggestion, keep fishing around... you can still get lucky... and don't blame yourself for this one... it was kinda her fault.

[looks at the burning trees] however, there are some patrons who live in the woods... could you please put the fire out.
:eek: :eek: :eek:
*At Bits' command, snuffs out the burning trees*

Thanks for that...there are enough problems out there...without burning the forest to the ground....

ooc:
gotta go!
ic:
*dissapears with a cloud of smoke, leaving the ice to cave in behind him*

I do wish people would stop doing that...

I never know who I'm talking to....if any one!

Well, that's me out of here as well!

*leaning on the bar Jerry stares at some of the pictures that decorate the walls, the paintings aren't particulary striking just quick depictions of some of the local scenery, typically nice innoffensive art that does not move a person any which way.
What caught his attention were the photos of some of the regulars, there was tink with jon and the photo next to that there was a nice
photograph of Orchid who had here arms lovenly wrapped around LP's neck. These photos were placed on a little side table that looked like an extension of the wall, it was the stand that was most peculiar it had two drawers which were obviously locked but the key hole was filled in so that the drawers could not be opened.....curiousity taking the better of him...he was determined to find out what is in there....... "

*hear's some footsteps and voices, skips back behind the bar and pretends to be cleaning a beer glass*

*With a cold smile, she stepped out from the shadows and surveyed the room*

*the voices subsided as people were leaving the club. The room was quite now,
though he knew that he was not alone, he felt a cold familiar presence....that caused him a moments pause....*

*unfazed he continued his pointless washing*

*She watched the man behind the bar with a callous grin behind a gaze of ice. There were options now, but which path to choose? She walked fluidly towards a hallway opposite the bar, shadow seeming to flow around her like an extention of her form. In the doorway she paused, considering...*

*put the glass down on the table and to no-one in particular he asked*

Can I help you.......?

*He knew who it was it was no stranger.....but the air began to thicken and as heart was beginning to pound........he has never experienced this for himself but...he now feels tense....he grabs the rag nearby and begind to wrap it around
his right hand.*

*He braces himself... fearing what might come next*

*She did not respond to the question, but instead smiled as if having made up her mind. Ever soundless, she entered the dark hallway and took a path Gael knew by heart.*

*wanders on in, whistling a tune, something akin 'Hey Jude'*
Hello everyone.

*The presence began to slowly get closer to the room.....the delay was nerve wracking.... but it gave him some much needed time to get a few things from around the bar and stashed them in his pockets*

*He knew it be a matter of time......so why not celebrate and relax...... he poured himself a glass of whiskey and placed a glass of whiskey on the stool next to the one that he took for himself*

*Leaving the bar area, she made her silent way to that dusty forgotten room, where Gael had cut her own wrists to save him. To the dusty patch of wood where she had bled, but the blood which stained the ground was Atreyu's. That place, where she had spent many a sleepless night haunted by old nightmares. Reverently, the imitation touched the spot, reviving old memories.*

He died like he had lived, with nothing to hold onto. Alone in his shadows.

*wanders on in, whistling a tune, something akin 'Hey Jude'*
Hello everyone.


*smiles.........relief*

*There shoudn't be too much action tonight, not with this bystander here*

Hello, how are you?

*Teleports in*

*Walks in the door*

Greetings.

*Goes for the kitchen, chugs down 3 gallons of milk*

*Goes to his table, sits down, and is fuming mad*

OOC: Even greater than I. Not that that's saying much of course.
Truth be told no I haven't read it, I've picked up from what others have said about it.

Heh I sure did pick a fine time to take a vacation from PC those few months.

OOC: However couple o' weeks ago I went back and looked at PC-3. The first time I walked through the doors to this place. I didnt remember how quickly I kicked up the RPing, but thinking back on it, fast paced made sense. With the rumor of PC being shut down unless something actually went on in it.

ooc: And it is still going.........I was actually curious why it is in general anyways........i did a search and it only went back as far as pc 33.

I wish the RPing would come back...but with the badguys gone; Matthius, Atreyu, Jhen's order.

Somehow the only way PC will end is if NS ends... as "tired" as some may get of this place, it is a great change of pace with all the 'serious' threads out there.

Spent the last 2+ hours cleaning spyware outta some big-wig's pc. God I'm tired.

OOC: Boy, I don't know a word you just said. :P

I wish the RPing would come back...but with the badguys gone; Matthius, Atreyu, Jhen's order.The problem with most of the RPing.. you need someone in control of the story. Me, Ju and Nekone are working on one... wanna help?

It depends on what its all about, I was the lead of the most, and only, sucessful RP here earlier. My RP evolved into the RP that left the scar here forever.

We turned into badguys only recently.

Do I know you?

Oof! Must've relaxed TOO much... :D

Like I said before, just business. I always like to unwind a bit after a job.

Ah, that's right it is business which brings here. I can only assume what that might be, but with the people who show up here I have a few ideas.

It is business which has brought me hear as well, but I as of yet don't know what it is*

Oh? What business are you in to?

Oh? What business are you in to?

For all i know we might be in the same business, though I assume nothing!

You were hoping I could explain what kind of business you're in?

I am also a traveller, and my travels have evidently brought me here.

What sort of collector?

It is that time of night again. I am going out to the balcony, to see that last glimpses of the setting sun.

*heads out to the balcony..... attention still focused on the women seated at the bar, her familiarity is unsettling*

If you want to join me, I can show you a few things.

*Watches him, slightly annoyed*

Why the hell do you keep staring at me?

*Watches him, slightly annoyed*

Why the hell do you keep staring at me?

*recoils, stunned.....*

*stutters*

my apologise I do not wish to offend, it is a bad habit of mine.

Well it's kinda rude. And it's likely to get you killed.

Well it's kinda rude. And it's likely to get you killed.

That's what I am afraid of......

*sits down on chair familiar ....... realising that the sun has already left him*

*Silently, she landed in the clearing, sinking to one knee in the damp earth. With closed eyes, and hands resting in the soil, she began chanting. The dark blooms of the rosebushes opened in response, each emitting a subtle power. And from the skull half embedded in the ground, a gentle blue glow.*

*Goes to the kitchen, and chugs down a few gallons of chocolate milk.*

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........................ :p

*Returns to his table, and teleports his planet in.*

*Blinks at the guy with the planet*

O..k.. I'm tired, and it's a little slow in here for me.

**stalks out of the forest and into the clearing**
quite the green thumb you have there Shae. or, is it black?

*Looks up quickly with a growl and narrowed eyes*

**smirks and clasps his hands behind his back, taking a few more steps closer**

*She stood slowly, rising to a crouch with a dangerous flicker in her eyes*

lovely night for a ritual, isnt it?
**cocks his head to one side, then the other popping his neck in a few places**

And who, pray tell, is preforming any rituals?

*The thorned vines around the perimeter writhed slightly, restlessly.*

OOC: Gaeltach, I sent a TG.

who said i said someone was preforming one? just observing that it is a good night for it. theres a wonderful planetary alingment forming.
**nods at the sky behind her at the 4 "stars" that seem to be in a near straigh line pointing towards them**

OOC: which 4 planets?

*Arches a brow cryptically, the snarl never fading.*

Then why are you here.

OOC: Replied.

OOC: which 4 planets?
ooc : its in the RP. i dont think there is actually one tonight.

ic : oh, come now Shae. surely you can guess.

*Arches a brow cryptically, the snarl never fading.*

Then why are you here.

OOC: Replied.
OOC: Thanks :) Oh, and the clock is nearing 11.... :(

ooc : its in the RP. i dont think there is actually one tonight.

ic : oh, come now Shae. surely you can guess.
Please. I have many names, but that is certainly not my favorite. Just what Gael called that part of me.

*Narrows eyes*

oh? then what would you prefer to be called?

Azael is my favorite. Or Syphis, but it doesn't really fit in this form.

ooc : its in the RP. i dont think there is actually one tonight.

ic : oh, come now Shae. surely you can guess.
OOC: Okay. I was just wondering if you included Jupiter in it... ;)

**smirks**
Azael it is then.

*Narrows her eyes again, allowing the tips of familiar black tendrils to poke from her skin*

Now. What are you doing here.

**narrows his own eyes, the smirk fading**
hunting.

*The tendrils slide out fully, writhing of their own accord. She smiles darkly, an old and familiar smile.*

well well. those look familiar.

*Smirks.*

Lovely little things, aren't they?

not especially.
**he lets the trenchcoat fall from his shoulders, freeing his wing, which he stretched up and out to its full length**

Pity, I quite enjoy them.

*Extends her claws defensively.*

I 'aquired' them quite recently too.

paid a little visit to his final resting spot did we?

In a sense. I'd call it more of a memorial though. So she had intended anyway..

*Indicates a large mound of rose-covered vines near the a few yards from the center of the clearing.*

yes. i've gotton some use out of it as well.
**his gazes softens for a moment as it shifts to the hoard of rosses**

So you've been there then. I don't think she'd be pleased to learn that you've violated that space.

*Eyes narrow once more, and the distant vines shift slightly.*

not directly. it has a dark aura about it. even from the club i can feel it. its rejuvinating. empowering.
**his eyes flicker back to Azael**
now then, what are you up to, all kneeling in the dirt chanting?

*Growls softly*

Remind me how it's any of your concern.

it's my concern because i choose to make it my concern.

I suggest you forget about it and walk away.

*Tendrils flick restlessly*

and what would that accomplish? i would still be itching for some action and you would still be surviving off the power of the dead.

So what. You want to play the hero? Be my guest.

**smirks**
a hero i am not. what i am, i cannot even say anymore. all i know is hat this is my forest, and anything within it belongs to me. and that is my energy you are feeding on.
**the smirk faded into an twisted scowl of rage as he spoke and his voise seemed to become booming by the end of it**

Oh your energy. So that's what this is all about. How about I write you a check, and we call this even?

*The myriad of anxious whispers subsided slightly as she spoke, and a skeletal hand reached through the ground, latching onto his ankle.*

there are only two types of beings on this retched world. those with power, and those without. and i'll be damned if i let any of mine be stolen.
**his head snapped down towards the skelital hand and it, along with a 3 foot radius of the earth around it blew apart, sending a quick wind across the ground, sending his forgotten coat off into the woods**

Touchy.

*She flashed her fangs in a toothy grin, crackling small arcs of lightening around one hand.*

**he lifted his gaze back from the smoldering hole back level with her's and stretched out his right arm, sparks dancing up and down it**

Enough theatrics.

*With a snarl, she lunged forward with talons poised to slash. But at the last moment, dashed to the side, lashing out with the tendrils instead*

**he tucked his wing and dove to the side, a vague red shadow seeming to follow in his wake. he lander hard and rolled through, turning the electrafied arm on Azael and firing a ball of thunder at her back**

*She powered upward to escape the energy, calling thick bolts of electricity down from the skies. The blooms emitted a strange power, thickening the air until it twisted the senses. The effect was disorienting.*

**he dropped to one knee and motioned with his hands as if lifting something. a plot of land roze up off the surface and created a barrier between the bolts an himself. he mummbeled an incantation and threw his arms out spread eagle and another 2 Vagas apear in the same possition, one on either side of him, clutching his hands**

Well that's a new trick. Easy with the land, boyo. You might kill her.

*She dove quickly at the center Vaga, claws extended and with a feral growl*

**the outer two dive foreward and catch her armsin mid-tackle, pinning her to the ground while the center slides straight up without bending a muscle and fires another round of the lightning ball at her**

*Gael flickered her eyes open and strained against the torc beneath the thorns. Yet she lacked the energy to stay awake. And with those voices..*

*Azael gritted her teeth and arched her back with the electrocution. The tendrils curled up their wrists, leeching their power and more of the hands reached up for them, pulling them down and away from her. Meanwhile, she merely laughed in the attempt to break free. The wind picked up, slamming against the last vaga with palpable force.*

I hope that wasn't intended to hurt..

**the three vaga's seems to turn to ash and blow away in the end**
no, just distract.
**the real Vaga stepped out from behind a tree across the clearing, near the thorns**

*Stands quickly and waves her hand. The thorns and arms confining Gael sink beneath the surface.*

Now now, that would ruin my little ruse.

oh, and we couldnt have that now could we?
**smirks and stalks foreward a bit**
you'll forgive me for the little display i just put on. i had a theory to test.

*Narrows her eyes and watches him, retracting the tendrils*

Just what are you getting at.

nothing to serious. just reflecting on the connection you and Atreyu shared. aparently it ran deeper than i thought.

You have no idea. There is much she hasn't told you..

as well she shouldnt have. we all need our secrets. our things to clings to when all else falls away.

*Smiles darkly. The forest returned to its preternatural silence, save those almost sub-tonal whisperings. Her form flickered briefly, shedding the facade in favor of shifting shadow.*

Do you know why I have been 'stealing' energy?

**smirks and looks around the forest, enjoying the silence**
i havent the foggiest.

It is extremely difficult to maintain a carporeal form. It requires high levels of focus and energy. Starting to get the picture?

one of the drags of being a higher being, eh?
**smirks at her**
so why not to take a host again. something tells me shells are easier to maintain.

Supressing the mind of the host takes just as much energy. More, sometimes. And poor Gael is nearly spent as it is.

*Smiles darkly, folding her arms.*

well, it just sucks all around doesnt it?
**rolls his eyes and drops his eyes back down to the spot where Gael's body sucked into the earth**

*smirks*

Seems I wasn't entirely wrong in collaring you. You're like a puppy.

*With a flick of the hand, the thorns raised Gael halfway out of the ground, acting as a support for her limp and pale form.*

The way I see it...why share when I can have the space to myself?
