Es 2

Last time, we had our mixed group of many things nobody is really sure, they were doing things. The GM fast-forwards time to the day after, when they have been fully rested. After that, all of you have been called to Marilia's room. She says she'll explain things, and you all clearly want an explanation, right?
RSL-4N has been trying to get an explanation, yes. Getting that translator application from Exxan helped, but it's only a start.
Going to her room, that is in the topmost floor, it is a rather simplistic room, with some of the oddest furniture you ever saw. Hey, this office was tailor-made for an Aeon whose best manipulation capacity lies in her beak. There, in the other side of the room, behind a desk that is usually large, is Marilia. She look quite a bit like a rather plain Valefor, though there seems to be something on her you can't really place your finger on
Erlinj is probably the first into the room, sitting in one of the corners with his wide brimmed hat covering his eyes. Yes, the salamander is wearing a hat. I'll put an apparence on the character sheet later. >.>
[OOC] Komura: lol
RSL-4N shows up at the exact second he was told to be there.
RenaRaveneos makes her way there, looking a bit unrested.
Duff_McWhalen arrives. Being way cooler than you.
Duff_McWhalen poses dramatically on his entrance as the camera pans around him.
Komura shows up a bit early, already packed for going home… not that there was much to pack.
Marilia loos at you all //"I assume you all have many questions? The first thing to do is is answer them"
RenaRaveneos: "When do we get to go home?"
Marilia: "Not anytime soon"
RenaRaveneos -_-
RSL-4N: "Duration of situation exceeds bounds of dream state. Logic dictates acceptance as reality. Remaining questions begin with, 'Why?'"
Marilia: "For now, it is better not to tell the reason. You all just recently came to here, and dropping such a burden on you is… Unwise"
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: I'll brb. Cleaning up from dinner.
Komura glares at Marilia. "Then what are we gonna be doing until you think we're ready for this oh-so-burdenned answer?"
RSL-4N: "Agreed. Procedure to discover answer desired."
RenaRaveneos 'uhg's a little.
Marilia: "First, you're going to get adapted to this world. Travel around for a month or two, until you won't be surprised by anything else you can meet here"
Marilia opens up a drawer in her desk and takes out a map. She was about to say something when you notice a kind of magical circle appear under her "For the elders… Excuse-me for a moment, Dane cannot get in a single bar brawl without calling on me" she says, a moment before simply… Vanishing
Duff McWhalen: "…"
RSL-4N: "…"
Duff_McWhalen whale-foot-taps.
Erlinj sighs exaguratedly.
RenaRaveneos: "…"
RSL-4N: "Inconvenience noted."
It takes another minute before she reappears, and sighs "I am sorry. Where was I again?" you notice there is a bit of… Green stuff dripping off her claws "Ah, yes. This is one of the most complete maps of Etherside, it will be useful to you all"
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: * Party acquires World Map!
Marilia: "Exxan himself will provide transportation, to the destination you choose. I suggest you avoid Silturn for now, as it can be a dangerous place"
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: Who wants to go to Silturn right now?
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: ME!
[OOC] Peter‘: Me!
[OOC] JayM: I can see that
[OOC] RSL-4N: Me, but RSL would rather hit Loreilal
RenaRaveneos looks at the map.
Erlinj: "Noted… and myssself and… Hamtar are to…"
His eye wander over the others, "Babysssit these four for now?"
RSL-4N does as well, commiting it to memory.
Marilia: "More or less, yes, Erlinj"
Komura frowns. "Yanno, calling it Silturn does nothing ta tell me what the place is like. Mind giving us a small description of each place?"
RenaRaveneos nods. "That would help…"
The map shows Etherside, it has four main landmasses and a series of islands around the main landmasses. In the middle of the ocean is a rather larger island. Each continent has it’s name printed on it
Marilia just waits for them to notice the names are printed in the map…
Namtar looks at the map. "This is fairly comprehensive."
[OOC] RSL-4N: Lore roll to see how much RSL knows?
JayM: //Go at it

Komura glares at Marilia. //"Names mean nothing ta me. Knowing what's behind each name does."
The map, if you realize, is also enchanted. A tap in any region makes the map kind of zoom there and show a more detailed map of it
RSL-4N rolled 1d100 and got 64 ( Total: 64 )
RenaRaveneos: ""
What's Maetropa?"
Marilia: "Silturn is a land of mostly demons and devilish Aeons, not one to be treated lightly. While some are good, the great majority is not one to take even on their peer's with kindness, much less outsiders"
Marilia: "Maetropa is the land of beasts, my homeland. Mostly formed of grasslands and wilds. I suggest caution, but most there are at most territorial"
JayM: //What exactly RSL wants to know, btw?

[OOC] Duff McWhalen: * Ice takes over Duff for a bit while I put the puppy to bed.
[OOC] RSL-4N: Just generally seeing how much of this he knows.
RenaRaveneos seems delighted by the descriptions of those places. //"Sapureth?"
RSL finds he doesn't really has any knowledge of Silturn or Sapureth, Maetropa maybe a bit and at lest enough of Loreilal to know what to do and don't there
Marilia: "Sapureth is the land of magic and swordcraft. You will find yourself mostly at home there since many of the Aeons who reside there have roughly human-looking appearances"
RSL-4N: "Confirmation requested: Loreilal is home of mechanical Aeons?"
RenaRaveneos nods. "Well, I think I know where my vote is…"
Marilia: "As for Loreilal, it is the smallest of the continents, and yes, the land of the mechanical aeons. I suggest a bit of care with your health when in the area, as the lands are unhealthy to any non-machine, though survivable"
RenaRaveneos makes a -_- face agian. "Yeah, I think I know which i prefer we first visit."
Komura frowns. "Sapureth, right?"
RenaRaveneos: "All the other sound like they are full of danger."
RSL-4N: "RSL-4N understands concerns of Rena, but requests eventual visit to Loreilal anyway."
RSL-4N: "Survival not impossible! RSL-4N willing to assist if necessary to complete objective."
Marilia: "The lands are dangerous yes, Sapureth is of all the most calm. Though there are many places in Maetropa that are safe"
Marilia: "As I said, just some care with your health in Loreilal, the air is heavy and somewhat polluted, and you will not find food there"
Erlinj shrugs. "I've fine with not going home jussst yet… Ssapureth isss fine with me."
RSL-4N: "Inquiry. If Exxan summoned by partner while transporting this group, what is subsequent status of this group? Freefall?"
RenaRaveneos: "…!"
Marilia: "Worry not, Exxan is not bound to anybody else, other than you that is"
RenaRaveneos: "I don't liOh."
Komura sighs. "Now that's a good thing."
Marilia: "Each one of you was summoned here by the Aeon you were bound to"
WorkWeazel: "That would have been an interesting, if brief experience."
RenaRaveneos: "Hrm, So, Each one of us is bound to one of those 4 who were around us?"
Marilia: "Yes"
[OOC] Komura: There's no Weazel's here. >_>
RenaRaveneos: "Who is each of us bound to then?"
[OOC] WorkWeazel: There is now, bitches! MUAHAHAHA
Marilia: "I believe you are bound to Kelais, she is of the Bahamut bloodline, Rena. Komura, you are bound to Anduir, of the Jormungand bloodline. RSL, you are bound to Exxan, of the Ark bloodline. Duff, you are bound to Dariel, of the Remora bloodline"
[OOC] JayM: Good thing I have the log, albeit unable to post
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to causation. RSL-4N was studying to become Summoner, but had not yet directly contacted any Etherside resident. How was RSL-4N bound to Exxan?"
[OOC] WorkWeazel: "Very carefully. And with duct tape."
Marilia: "That is actually a mystery to me. Both of you and Duff were bound through unknown ways. Dariel inherited the bond to Duff from another Aeon, actualy, but refuses to tell me who it was"
RenaRaveneos ponders Bahamut, name sounds vaguely familiar. "What is a Bahamut?"
Komura nods. "And what's a Jormungand?"
Marilia: "A powerful dragon-like Aeon, that stands in two feet. You must remember her"
Erlinj scofs at the mention of Bahamuts. Stupid dragons that actually have wings.
Marilia: "Jormungand, I assume you remember that snake-like Aeon in the ritual? To be sincere, would you like to meet them?"
Komura shrugs. "Might be a plan."
Marilia: "Follow me"
RSL-4N does just that.
RenaRaveneos follows after her.
Marilia easely lifts off ground and makes a way outside. Bringing you all to the summoning circle where you were. All four of the mentioned Aeons are there, in front of each one of them in particular is a small sphere of light, they seem to be concentrating on it, too
Marilia: "I thought you were finished?"
RSL-4N: "General inquiry. If Aeon summoned in middle of physical task, presumably task interrupted. What impact results for Etherside labor productivity?"
She says that to the Aeons
Marilia: "We've grew used to that, we have our precaution against sudden summonings and callings"
Komura pays more attention this time as he looks them over, not quite so pissed off as when he came here yesterday, particullarly the Jormungand.
RenaRaveneos walks over and examines the upright Dragon she's bound to.
Just a second later, those spheres of light condense into small crystals, that each Aeon then grabs. Kelais, that despite being a very imposing Bahamut manages to look so nerdy you don't know how she managed to, looks at Marilia "Ah! Miss Marilia! We just finished" she says, in an oddly high-pitched voice
[OOC] RSL-4N: /me imagines if one is carrying a load, holding a nail, or doing something else that can't be interrupted without problems.
[OOC] JayM: They actually bring it with them
[OOC] RSL-4N: Or holding up a mountain, in the case of a Golem - then again, being able to slam a mountain on someone would be useful.
Komura notices that Anduir bears an odd resemblance to his tatoos. Actually, Anduir has a tatoo of his own in it's long serpentine back, that resembles Komura's most recent tatoo. Anduir looks at Komura, holding the gem with it's tail "What?"
Kelais just stares back at Rena, equally amused
[OOC] JayM: Why don't you ask that IC, eh? =P
RenaRaveneos almost kinda sweat drops at the sight of the nerdy dragon, but approaches her and waves. "um, Hey…"
Kelais is a tad uneasy at Rena's presence "Oh, hey…"
[OOC] Komura: He's got a tattoo of a large, white chocobo? >_>
RSL-4N: "RSL-4N is informed that RSL-4N is bound to Exxan. Inquiry as to truth of claim, and if true, method of causation."
[OOC] JayM: I'm not very sure what Kom's must recent is, but I got some things up my sleeve. It can be anything, really
Exxan: "That"
he shakes his head "Is a mystery to me too"
It is quite obvious he's liying
RenaRaveneos: "So, You, like, summoned me here?"
[OOC] Komura: His three tattoos are a Vorpal Bunny, a Rogue Tomato, and a Trickster. All cute but deadly. >_>
RenaRaveneos is still amazed it's liek a dragon.
RSL-4N: "Untruth detected. Inquiry as to method to obtain truth."
Marilia just shakes her head at the antics, but quickly floats up to grab those gems, handing two to Erlinj and two to Hamtar
Kelais: "Err, yeah… I hope I did it alright? Didn't anything end up out of place?"
Komura boldly walks up to the snake Aeon. "So, I hear you're the one that bound me."
Erlinj grabs the gems and looks at them for a second before lifting up his hat and sticking the gems inside with a shurg before lowering the hat back over his head.
Komura would notice that Anduir doesn't have even a quarter of the size of a normal Jormungand, if she knew about them
[OOC] Komura: he. -_-
[OOC] JayM: GAH, YEAH
[OOC] JayM: GO GO GIRL POWER! *roffle*
Anduir: "Yes"
he says, slithering around Komura to have a better loot "That would be me"
RenaRaveneos shakes her head. "I seem to be in one piece. Did you, like, specially pick me?"
Namtar quietly waits off to the side, taking a seat and polishing the blade of his sword.
Komura hehs. "Guess I know what my next tattoo is, then."
Marilia: "Keep a tight hand on those. They are very important"
she draws a series of simbols, apparently kind of magical ones in the ground then erases them "Specially if you see any of those"
She says taht to the two Aeons in a hushed tone
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: Mongoose?
[OOC] Komura: lol
Exxan: "Not everything that exists is to be known, do not worry, the truth will surface"
RSL-4N watches the symbols being drawn, and memorizes them as well.
Erlinj: "I remeber… I wasss training…"
WorkWeazel nods and commits the symbols to memory. "I will be careful."
[OOC] WorkWeazel: * namtar. Sorry.
Kelais: "Eh, not really… I sorta was given my bond to you by the Elder Bahamut, I got no idea why i'm bond to you specifically"
Kelais: "We don't pick and choose, the Elders do it for us"
Anduir: "That is a honor, indeed. Consider it reciprocal"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry if Exxan knows of any other Aeons bound to mecha from RSL's world, so as to convey communication of RSL's status to home."
Exxan: "I happen to know every single one of them, but I am not in good standing with any"
RenaRaveneos nods. "Oh, I guess I'm just confused why someone would choose me…" she hrms a little. "Maybe I cna ask the Elder bahamut when we vist…um, where are you from?"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry if RSL could approach one and request information transfer, so at to avoid Exxan's standing interfering."
[OOC] RSL-4N: *so as
Kelais: "Ma-Maetropa"
she says with an unsure smile "Don't worry, the Elder Bahamut is nice, if you don't poke him"
Exxan: "It would be possible, yes. They all live in Loreiral, when we come by I will tell you of them"
Marilia: "Exxan, are you in travelling shape?"
RSL-4N: "Assistance appreciated."
Exxan: "Yes, ma'am. Arcane sub-processor is full but rest of the systems are working"
Marilia: "That settles that, whenever you are free to move on, Exxan here will move you"
Komura nods. "So, can you tell me why we're here, or is that all hush-hush from youse guys too?"
With that, Marilia flies back up to the second floor, cuz she hasa job
RenaRaveneos smiles back at her. "Heh, You know, since we are like, bound togther and al, we should try to be friends. // //
Anduir: "Wish that I knew, but Marilia said it was something that'd cause widespread panick of discovered"
[OOC] JayM: *panic
Kelais nods "Yes! Thank for that"
Komura frowns. "That's never a good thing."
Komura: "But I guess if she's the boss, we'll have to trust she knows what she's doin'."
RenaRaveneos hold out a hand to her. "I'm Rena Raveneos."
Kelais, that isn't much bigger than Rena, extend a hand for her "I'm Kelais, though, I don't think I have a surname"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry if RSL-4N can assist Exxan in transportation duties."
Anduir: "Marilia knows more than most people from Loreilal, I assure you she knows things"
Exxan: "There is no need, I may look a bit small right now, but I just have my flight module detached. If you are all ready to go, I believe I a ready to show the ladies what i'm really made of"
Exxan just doesn't smirks because his face wasn't made for that
RenaRaveneos shakes her hand. "Really, hrm, if your family is the Bahamuts, I guess that would kinda be like a surname…"
Erlinj rolls his eyes at Exxan, then slithers out of the room.
RSL-4N: "Preparations apparently complete. Initial destination apparently selected. No superior time to present."
Komura looks over at Exxan for a moment. "I'm ready to go any time."
Kelais: "Thank you… Hum, I have to stay here, err, focusing, so wel… Do I see you later?"
Exxan nods "Then we shall move" he says, walking outside. He leads you all to a very rough airstrip. Not anything more than a patch of land flat enough for takeoff procedures
RenaRaveneos nods "Sure."
JayM: //If you if you ignore the large piles of machinery around

RSL-4N follows Exxan.
Komura turns back to Anduir. //"I'll see youse around, I guess." And heads after Exxan.
Namtar rises and waits for Rnea.
RenaRaveneos waves to her and ehas after the others. "See you later."
Erlinj is waiting out there, now with a few small pounces attached to his waist, and a bow strapped to his back. He's also holding a small quiver of arrows in his hand.
Outside, Exxan says "Initiate flight module!" and jumps. The various spare parts fly up and connect to Exxan's body. In a mighty transformation sequence, worth of the best mecha anime, he changes in a very different-looking version of Ark. Instead of the proppelers, he has a trio of jets in his back. He himself now looks more like some kind of highly-advanced jet than anything else. Should I note, he's now big enough to carre twenty of you
He slowly floats down and opens up an entry door "Please, get inside me" he says, his voice coming from inside
Komura whistles. "Now THAT'S impressive."
Erlinj makes his way inside.
RenaRaveneos '…'s
RSL-4N boards, having seen that transformation sequence before - a video clip having been among his "Meet The Aeons" training material.
Erlinj: "He'sss jusssst sssshowing off."
Exxan: "Strap yourselves in, and tell me the destination. Which part of Sapureth?"
JayM: //As a note, every kingdom of Sapureth is in the map, if you zoom over to Sapureth

Komura gets in, looking for a seat. //"Uh, good question."
Erlinj: "Cryssstal Palace."
Exxan's interiors are, to be sincere, first-class civilian airship thing
RenaRaveneos head inside and sits down, examing the straps. "Are there many places?"
Namtar just shakes his head and finds a seat.
Komura looks around for a seat that would best fit him.
Exxan: "Seventeen to be exact. Crystal Palace? I've been dyeing to meet Geni again, ETA, twenty minutes"
RSL-4N: "Etherside natives reccomending Crystal Palace implies Crystal Palace likely optimal or near-optimal starting place."
Exxan closes his door, and lifts off! It takes a while until he announces "Prepare for Mach 5 sudden jump in 3… 2… 1…" *pow* suddenly he jumps basically to Mach 5, though you don't feel a ting
JayM: //Feel free to talk

RenaRaveneos: "Crystal Palace? what's there?"
RSL-4N: "Separate flight module impressive - but also one feature RSL's people specifically requested not to emulate."
RenaRaveneos: "…err..WHo is there?"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to Exxan's knowledge and opinion of Ark line's sharing of information with RSL's race."
JayM leaves that for Erlinj/Namtar
Erlinj: "It isss a palace made of crysssstal… The Laksssmi live there…"
Exxan: "I sincerely have no idea, RSL"
Erlinj: "Located in a foressst…"
RenaRaveneos: "Laksmi? Who are they?"
WorkWeazel: "A bloodline of skilled healers."
RenaRaveneos hrms. //"They sound plesant."
Komura: "And why are we heading there first?"
Erlinj motions with his tail at Rena, "Ssshe ssshould be mossst calm there… Moogle did not sssseem to care where we went."
RenaRaveneos: "Visiting a Palace full of healer doesn't sound very scary or dangerous."
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to potential dangers, including suitable ettiquete precautions."
RenaRaveneos: "…?"
Erlinj: "Low… … Sssshould be fine."
Namtar: "You should all be compeltely safe."
About now, you all can start to hear a soft melody coming from outside "The Siren's song… We're getting close, ETA, 5 minutes"
RenaRaveneos 'heh's. "I emna, even if soemthign happened, it seems like healers wouldn't be very dangerous…"
Erlinj: "Yesss."
RSL-4N: "Healing and repair skills contain knowledge to disassemble body. Destruction prerequisite to repair."
Namtar chuckles. "Something like that."
RSL-4N: "Also contain knowledge to rearrange body, with or without consent."
RenaRaveneos stares at the robot person. "Great, I feel so much better now knowing that…"
RSL-4N: "Repair specialists on RSL's world honor bound to true repair, if mind of unit still functional. Ark line stated other worlds possess different rules."
Namtar shakes his head. "The lakshmi are skilled healers, and competent warriors when pressed. But they are not mindlessly hostile."
Komura smirks. "No point dwelling on it, just take it as it comes."
RSL-4N: "Agreed."
RenaRaveneos sighs. This world seems like it's just filled with thing that could hurt alot.
You can feel a slight change in your movement, now heading downards. After just a few moments, you've all finally landed nearby the Crystal Palace. Exxan opens up his door for you all to disembark "Here we are"
Namtar: "All worlds are. The trick is knowing how to survive regardless."
Erlinj exits out of the Exxan.
RSL-4N gets out, taking in his new surroundings.
RenaRaveneos unstraps herself from whatever straping mechanism there was on the seats and heads out.
Komura gets out and looks around.
Namtar waits on the others before following.
Outside, you've come in an opening of the forest. Small trees with a peaceful appearance. There is a small path of stone leading towards a very large palace, it glints with all the colors of the rainbow as it's reflective crystalline surface gets shone by the noon's sun
Erlinj nods a few times, then starts down the pathway through the forest and towards the palace. "Thisss way…"
RenaRaveneos loosk over the Palace. "Impressive."
Namtar squints slightly and pulls up the rather large hood of his cloak, his face all but vanishing inside.
RenaRaveneos look over at him. "You alright?"
RSL-4N engages his variable-specrum sensors, and confirms that it *does* do every color of the rainbow.
[OOC] RSL-4N: Deep UV to deep IR, and beyond.
Namtar: "It is… very bright here. My home is much darker."
You all eventually reach the main gates. Two rather relaxed-looking 'guards' are there, though given their rich clothing and general behaviour you'd guess they're just watching and not really guarding anything
RenaRaveneos: "My home isnm't quite this bright either."
RenaRaveneos looks at the 'guards'. "…"
RenaRaveneos: "Wow, this place must be loaded…"
RSL-4N: "Optimal local for solar power array."
[OOC] RSL-4N: -local +location
RSL-4N: "Inquiry if inhabitants operate on solar power."
[OOC] JayM: Argh, I had to BRB
RenaRaveneos: "…what is a solar power?"
RSL-4N: "Transforming light into energy."
Komura scratches his head. "Whatever, let's just go inside already."
Exxan is now behind, kinda like he's waiting
RSL-4N: "Living off sunlight."
Erlinj motions with his tail to the gates, indicating for the guard to open it.
One the guards looks up at Komura, and eeps in surprise. That starles the other one that was snoozing and that one screams
Guard: "WHOA!"
Komura raises an eyebrow. "What's the deal?"
The guard comes closer to look at Komura "Wow, are you for real?"
Komura glares at the guard. "How the hell wouldn't I be real?"
RSL-4N: "Etherside familiarity with non-Aeons apparently minimal."
Namtar: "Remember, Komura. Your kinda do not live here."
RenaRaveneos walks over to one of them and takes a good look at them.
Komura scratches his head for a moment. "You mean it's gonna be like this everywhere?"
Guard 2: "Wha…"
she rubs her eyes "Oh! Wow! I thnk you gtta be real?"
Erlinj: "More than likely, yesss."
RSL-4N: "Reality of present company confirmed."
Namtar shrugs. "It is a possibility."
The the other guard is taking at look at Rena as she looks at her. She looks fairly much human-like, but there is this aura of serenity around her, and her clothes are richly decorated
Komura sighs. "Great, I feel like a freakshow now."
Erlinj smirks slightly, "Ssssomething like that…"
Guard: "Oh! You want in? Oh, wow, we gotta tell everyone"
RSL-4N: "Confirmed: to Etherside natives, aliens such as Koumra and RSL-4N comprise 'freakshow'."
She says such opening up the main gate
[OOC] RSL-4N: *Komura
RenaRaveneos: "You're clothe sare really nice, don't you worry you might get them dirty out here?"
Guard 2: "Ah? No, they don't, why would they?"
The first guard glances at Duff as he passes by, and goes WIIIIIDE eyed
Duff Mc_Whalen poses dramatically.
RenaRaveneos looks at the ground, to confirm it is dirt.
Duff poses dramatically. Because that's what he does.
[OOC] Erlinj: ahaha. :p
[OOC] WorkWeazel: ^5
[OOC] Erlinj: ^5 indeed.
The ground is mostly of stone, though there is quite a bit of dirt. Her clothes should get dirty, but somehow are not
The camera - in this case the guard's point of view - pans around Duff.
[OOC] Komura: Ahaha~
[OOC] WorkWeazel: lawlz
RenaRaveneos shoes her shoes. "The dirt sticks to cloth…." she notices that the Guard's clothes aren't idrty at all. "Wow, I could use some clothes like that…"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to whether clothing repels dirt, or whether Etherside dirt does not stick to clothing."
Komura shakes his head. "Unbelievable…"
Inside, you reach a great lobby. There are a few stretchers set nearby the walls, but they are all empty. Various woman go about doing their business and over there is a counter were one of them is busy doing all of nothing
Guard: "Hum… My clothes never got dirty if that's what you ask"
RenaRaveneos checks to see if the dirt is getting on her.
RSL-4N nods. "Inquiry as to reason."
JayM: //It is

Guard: "I don't know?"
The guard is rather… Amused, and sincerely does not know
RenaRaveneos: "You don't happen to have a spare out you'd like to give me, do you?"
She shakes her head //"I only got this one"
RSL-4N: "Confusion origination: clothing on non-Aeons' worlds accumulates dirt, if used in similar manner to present."
RenaRaveneos nods. "Oh…Only one? Do you ever take it off to like bathe?"
The guard scratches her head at RSL, not making heads or tails out of him. Then she looks at Rena "Hum, err… I wash them off too after during bath. But why, do you have to use different clothes after the washing them?"
Komura shakes his head, amazed. "Most people have lots of clothes to wear."
RSL-4N: "Inquiry: Rena and Aeon need regular baths?"
RenaRaveneos blushes a little. "I do…"
Guard: "Err… I only have this one… I do, yes…"
RSL is just embarassing EVERYONE here, that is a feat
RenaRaveneos: "Do you sleep in those clothes?"
She nods her head
Komura pipes up, "A moogle's gotta keep clean, ya know? Can't embarrass the boss being dirty."
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to functionality of Rena's and Aeon's self-cleansing modules."
RenaRaveneos: "Don't the get like caught or tanged up during the light?"
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: night*
She shakes her head, rather oblivious to the fact that clothes like those would normally suffer that fate
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: are we still at the gate or are we walking around now?
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: Sorry dude, I did not think I was going to be gone that long. :p *reads backscrol* *hides from puppy*
JayM: //Since ya'll are talkign to this guard, despite the gate being open, I suppose you're all at it

Erlinj walks in.
JayM: It's ok, Eli, it happen. I have a gigantic dobermann that thinks he's a puppy, I know how wrestling dogs goes
Inside, you reach a great lobby. There are a few stretchers set nearby the walls, but they are all empty. Various woman go about doing their business and over there is a counter were one of them is busy doing all of nothing
Komura shakes his head and follows the Salamander in.
RenaRaveneos notices the other going, waves to the guard and heads in.
The guard waves at Rena and goes over to the other one, both chatting
RSL-4N follows the group, the guard conversation apparently terminated.
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: <Shadow> n.n; "Wrestle more?"
The woman in the counter pipes up and looks at the newcomers, she has an amazed look, specially when it comes down to RSL and Duff
[OOC] JayM: *roffle* Hahaha
RSL-4N looks around, trying to determine what type of crystal this palace is made out of.
Duff_McWhalen poses dramatically as the camera pans about him. He's a Man! Of the! Sea!
RenaRaveneos looks around the place at the lakamshi.
The guard Ooh's
[OOC] RSL-4N: That already happened, Duff. ;)
[OOC] JayM: He triple-posed! That was incredible!
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: It needs to happen multiple times.
JayM: I mean, the one at the counter, not the guard
JayM: You're past them
WorkWeazel: ( Me and Ice were *on* that shit, yo! ))
JayM slaps himself
[OOC] Erlinj: lol.
RSL just cannot determine the kind of crystal this is made of
RSL-4N records what information he can about this crystal. If it doesn't match his database, it's probably a new substance.
Erlinj rolls his eyes from under his hat, //"Yesss… we have mortalsss amoung usss… We are… sssshowing them around."
The lobby opens up into two main hallways, both forward but one in the left and one in the right. There are four doors to the left and right of the lobby too
Receptionist: "Oh! Wow…"
she seems quite amused, to say the least "Ahn, uhn… Need any help?"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to availability of medical texts."
Komura shakes his head. "This is getting old already, and it's only the second day…"
Receptionist: "Ahn?"
she stops to think at RSL's question "Ah, yes! Do you mean the library? Over there" she points to the left corridor "Fifth door the the left"
RSL-4N nods, then looks to the party's two chaperones. "Permission to peruse 'library'?"
Duff_McWhalen poses dramatically as the camera pans about him. He's a Book! Of the! Sea!
Erlinj shrugs and glances back at the others.
[OOC] RSL-4N: He's a book now?
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: What else is in libraries?
RSL-4N heads off in the indicated direction.
Namtar: "By all means. I'm sure you will be able to find a large amount of information."
RSL-4N nods to Namtar before leaving for the library.
[OOC] RSL-4N: Librarians, readers, and tenders of books? ;)
Going off that way, you find a richly decorated corridor, should I not that the crystal is blue-hued in the insides of the castle. There are no light sources, but seems like part of the light filters from the outside. This gives the strangely soothing image of dancing shadows in the ceiling. The corridor is actually quite busy, with woman going every which way. Seven stairwells goes up here and three go down, you pass by eight doors in the right before you reach the fifth in the left
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: * RSL takes the library with him.
Care to notice, the space between the fourth AND fifth doors is immense
[OOC] RSL-4N: That is his intent if he can hack it, yes.
[OOC] RSL-4N: Or at least the info therein.
RenaRaveneos: "Maybe we should meet the Elder?"
[OOC] WorkWeazel: HAX!
[OOC] JayM: Little does RSL knows, that here we have only paper material >_>
RSL-4N enters the library, fully expecting a large one.
[OOC] RSL-4N: Speed reading and data compression FTW.
The library is, indeed, large. Five stories, to be sincere, all walls covered with books. There are many groups of woman here studying, most reading through medical books that'd make even RSL's head spin, and you can see their heads ARE spinning
RSL-4N tries to find their books on basic physics/chemistry/biology, suspecting that the basic physical laws of this world may differ from those of his own.
There are actually five librarians, two of which you can clearly see at work, the other three waiting for somebody to show up
JayM: //That'd be an Inquire, RSL

Erlinj: "…Meeting the Elder isss… generally not ssssomething that happensss, Human… Mossst are… reclussive…"
RSL-4N rolled 1d100 and got 94 ( Total: 94 )
RSL-4N can't even understand their numbering system.
RSL can, however, ask one of the librarians, can't he?
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: * RSL burns the library down with mind-lasers.
RSL-4N does just that, walking up to one of the librarians. //"Greetings."
RenaRaveneos: "…Oh?"
The librarian is taken aback a bit, unused to seeing a machine here "Good afternoon"
Erlinj: "Yesss… though you could alwaysss asssk…"
RenaRaveneos: "I thought we were like forgien dignitaries or something…"
You all may realize, everyone seems to be richly dressed, even those who are clearly dressed as medicians have a huge amount of decorations
RSL-4N: "Assistance requested. Desire to locate texts on basic physics of Etherside."
Erlinj scratches at his chin with a claw, "Perhapsss… Asssk the receptionissst by the entrance…"
The librarian blinks "Hum… Basic Physics? Hum… Fifth floor, section one hundred and six"
RSL-4N nods in thanks, and walks to the indicated section.
JayM: //That's going to take a while, given how everything uses stairs here. Inquiry, at +50, to find the proper place. Tell me if that gives 100+ in the skill

[OOC] RSL-4N: Not over 100
RSL-4N rolled 1d100 and got 54 ( Total: 54 )
JayM: The roll, but don't rol =P
RenaRaveneos laughs a little. //"Well, you guys know more what's goign on that me, If we're not supposed to…"
[OOC] RSL-4N: Pass, though.
Erlinj: "No, it isss jussst… Uncommon… But you have a point, you are all… Uncommon assss well."
RSL eventually finds the section. It's rather minimal compared to the three stories of medicine books, this one isn't even one wall. Anyway, you can have a look at them, there are eventables up here
There are many books, though 'First Grade Physics' might be of interst
RenaRaveneos nods to him and approaches the receptionist. "Um, excuse me…"
RSL-4N figures the medicine books are built upon the basic building blocks contained here, and starts with said basics.
The receptionist looks at Rena, if anything surprised at her clothing "Oh, you must be new here, what can I help you with?"
RSL-4N leafs through the book, reading as fast as he can - seeking first to confirm similarities and differences between his world and this one.
Duff_McWhalen slides in behind Rena.
Komura walks up beside Rena, following Duff's cue.
The other receptionist is looking over at Erlinj, Komura, Duff and Namtar from a distance
RenaRaveneos: "I was wonder if the Elder might have wanted to meet with us…"
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: wondering* 0)
RSL finds, surprise, that there are quite a few differences. Though the GM isn't really in the mood to think up what are they. But if they ever come into play, i'll tell you
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: Men can last longer than 60 seconds here, for example.
Erlinj can attest to that. I mean…
Librarian: "Oh, you should know she
" she stops short as the others come by, she blinks, and realizations dawns into her, though she manages to just raise a hand to her mouth, and keep composture "I mean, the Elder is currently very busy. I have no idea what exactly with, but seems like it requires her full attention"
RenaRaveneos nods. "Oh, alright…"
[OOC] WorkWeazel: And if not, the Chemist can whip up some Viagra for ya. >_>
Duff McWhalen: "Books about teenagers saving the world. Non-fiction."
RSL-4N notes these down for future reference, then moves on to slightly higher physics - as well as trying to find knowledge of basic chemistry and biology.
RenaRaveneos looks around agian. "Um, I have a question…are all Lakshmi female?"
The third librarian blinks "Oh, you might want the fifth floor, section ten, non-etherian history"
Librarian 2: "Oh, no. Just that the men study on the otherside of the castle"
Duff_McWhalen grabs Rena and yoinks over to fifth floor, section 10.
Duff McWhalen: "Thank you."
Librarian 2: "They, uhn…"
she scratches the back of her head, clearly embarassed "Don't really get, eh, bound. So we all sort of, you know, study separetly"
yoink*
Komura nods to the Librarians. "Thanks." And follows Duff.
[OOC] Duff McWhalen: I got to go *yoink* >.>
Namtar follows Duff and the others, still keeping his hood up.
Erlinj raises an eyebrow slightly the trails after them.
[OOC] RSL-4N: Which brings to mind the question of what happens if they're summoned during sex, but there's multiple reasons why RSL won't ask about that. >_>
Aaaall the way to the fifth floor section 10 you find various books of non-etherian history. Mostly are quite hazy since the history is written through the eyes of the ones who were summoned, but there is quite a bit of very clear ones
[OOC] Peter‘: They disappear?
RenaRaveneos: "Ahhh, Why don’t they get bound?"
JayM: //I believe Rena's being pulled away by Duff, Amine =P

Duff_McWhalen thinks someone missed getting yoinked. >.>
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: yup, wroops
RenaRaveneos wonders why she was pulled off.
JayM: You might be interested in that one, where a group of basically teenagers, almost kids (even, one WAS a kid) saved the world from a great necromancer overlord who wanted to make the Undead Scrounge
Duff McWhalen: "You should find your world's history. It should be here, somewhere."
RenaRaveneos blinks at Duff once thye get there. //"Did you need soemthing from me…?"
RenaRaveneos: "Oh…"
Duff_McWhalen gestures to the rest of 5th Floor, Section 10.
RenaRaveneos looks aroudn to see if she cna find anything on her world's history.
JayM: //I suppose, some Inquiry at +30 works

RenaRaveneos rolled 1d100 and got 56 ( Total: 56 )
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: that's a fail I think.
Not really. There you are, a group of books over there
Komura looks around for his own world's history.
They've been written by the hands (or claws in some cases) of various Aeons who were all bound to a single summoner
Komura rolled 1d100 and got 34 ( Total: 34 )
[OOC] Komura: Pass with the +30 mod.
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: whoops, I totally am not used to Rena's 64 Inquiry
[OOC] Komura: lol
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: that's a pass even without the bonus
RenaRaveneos reads to try to figure out what this summoner did.
Komura will find just a single book regarding his own world's history. It's mostly been written by somebody named Merios, though what bloodline Merios is isn't written. Merios apparently handed the book down to one of the denizens of this place, as it is noted in it that Merios handed the book down from one of the Lakshimi bloodline
Komura starts reading through his world's book. //"Yo, Duff. Youse gonna look for your own world's history books?"
Duff McWhalen: "I do not have the need."
Rena finds out this Summoner belonged to a very old family for forgers who used the power of Aeons to assists in the forge. When the threat of the Skeleton King arose, he and a group of five teenagers who all had lost their families to the SK's armies went in a quest to defeat him. It narrates in a spotty manner the adeventures of how they fought mighty beasts, folled stupid mooks and finally defeated the SK
There is a footnote, written by somebody of the name of Sheri, about how the tradition of the Aeon-assisted forging this summoner was part of was passed on to a different family in the end
RenaRaveneos tries to see if there are any names of the Smith Fmailies listed, incase she might recognize them.
JayM: //Any skill related to that?

JayM: Well, really, trut to be told, there aren't any names but the original Summoner's name. Kria Maltez
[OOC] JayM: YES I STOLE A NAME SO SUE ME!
[OOC] WorkWeazel: Justin get him! :-p
[OOC] Erlinj: /me sues Julian for profits.
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: she has Trade, Swords and Shields.
JayM: Hum… Gimme a roll of Swords
RenaRaveneos rolled 1d100 and got 54 ( Total: 54 )
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: fail by 10. 0)
JayM: Yes, the name Maltez comes to your mind. Actually it's a very ancient family, they'd be the best swordsmiths up to now if all of their family hadn't died
RenaRaveneos: "Well, I think this makes a little more sense now…"
[OOC] JayM: Any more actions, lively people?
Erlinj is just baby sitting. He knows what he world is like already. :p
RSL-4N keeps reading up on the sciences, as much as he's allowed.
RSL-4N knows the history of his own world with relation to Aeons.
RenaRaveneos: "It seems that many Aeons helped an ancient smithing family on my world, in peticular, they assisted a young smith in defeating someone called the Skeleton King. They must have been
Komura is just reading through his own world's history book.
Oh, yeah, back to RSL that I never gave any info on. Next onwards, as RSL progresses through the physics books, he realizes that things get more and more different the smaller the scale things goes. The point where you reach Chemistry books sort of seems kind of lacking with a lot of very spotty information and broken references. Though, you got three full stories of medical books, that's amazing
Duff_McWhalen is Duff McWhalen. He has no need to look this stuff up. :p
Komura's book relates mostly to a single Caller and his sole companion. Races are never really mentioned, neither are names. The writing is rather dark-toned and some of the sickest things are written to the deepest details, everything with a very scientifical tones
JayM: I mean, who in their sane mind would detail how exactly a mithra's flesh reacts to acid? Probably not somebody from HERE
[OOC] WorkWeazel: Oh hey, they had a Hades summon. <_<
RenaRaveneos: "Trying to summon from that family, since Heroic and Aeons and stuff was in thier blood. Seems odd they didn't summon someone from this other family it was passed on to…"
[OOC] Komura: lol
[OOC] JayM: Was it SO obvious? >_> <_<
RSL-4N runs some diagnostics, to make sure his own systems aren't aff- yep, they are. They're coping automatically, fortunately, but some of the things he was easily able to do back home? Going to take some retooling to do here.
Most of those changes RSL notices are down in atomic-level. Generally in a more wider PoV things happens almost like back at home
Komura is definately only skimming long before that part.
Komura's book tells little but a few parts of the adventures. If you'd call them anything you'd call them villanious, not heroic. Also, it seems like it's set in a very distant past of his homeworld
RSL-4N 's more powerful tricks, however, partly involve precise manipulation of atomic-level or molecular-level things. He doubts he'll have access to nanofabricators any time soon, for example.
JayM: That should be all on those books
RenaRaveneos ponders. //"Huh, I wonder if they have books on swords and stuff here…"
[OOC] RSL-4N: So, how much background/exposition are we allowed to pick up? >_>
JayM: //Unless you mean about sword //wounds
in which case there are about two hundred and thirty six of the, I doubht there are any
[OOC] JayM: Ahn? Ya lost me there
RSL-4N will scan and record every book in the library if he's allowed.
[OOC] RSL-4N: But how long does that take?
JayM: //Go ahead, though that'll take, what, a few weeks

JayM: IF not the entire month
JayM: So try at your own risk
[OOC] RSL-4N: Yeah, I'm thinking the rest of the group would pull him away before then.
Duff McWhalen: "I doubt they do. Let us depart now."
Erlinj: "Whenever you are ready…"
RSL-4N started with the science and tech, to get a grip on the basics, but left to his own devices? He doesn't get hungry.
RenaRaveneos: ""Probably not, I should figure out someway to derive the value of Aeon-Made equipement if I'm going to use what skills I have to help."
Erlinj: "Perhapsss sssee the Yojimbo next…"
RenaRaveneos: "Yojimbo? Are they like merchant Aeons? That's another question…do Aeons use money?"
Erlinj: "Mercenariesss… They might know…"
Namtar chuckles. //"The Yonimbo bloodline are… not exatly merchants. But they possess a fine awareness of the value of money."
RenaRaveneos: "Well, I think that might be good for me if we went there next…"
Erlinj nods. "Ssso we are ready to leave, then?"
[OOC] WorkWeazel: *goes AFK
[OOC] JayM: Also, the GM leaves here, but feel free to freeform RP for a bit while i'm off
[OOC] Erlinj: I think we're about down now? Okay.
Duff_McWhalen opens the menu, selects Save, and overwrites the first session's savegame.//
