The madness doesn't stop - Love
Edaru looks up when hearing the music. He turns to Lillia then stutters. "Should we..I mean..do you want to dance?"
Lillia giggles "Of course." she holds out her hands for Edaru
Mordaan makes a lame attempt to dance
Seazu grins impishly again as she pulls edaru and lillia onto the dancefloor too.
Edaru takes a deep breath then steps closer to Lillia and offers her his hands. "So...may I ask for this dance Princess?"
Lillia giggles Seazu pulls her
Mordaan wipes his brow
Seazu says: let's go you both!
Mordaan says: Enough for me for now.
Seazu says: A wonderful couple you are!
Onilise laughs okay
Lillia giggles and takes Edaru "Yes."
Dalmurr looks at Laspeyresia "Maybe we should go back to the pillows though."
Dannae gets to her feet and wobbles a bit
Mordaan takes a long drink
Travosh has his one good arm ready incase she topples
Celizan listens intently to the music
Onilise watches Dannae with concern
Laspeyresia says: Haaa, yeah...
Dannae says: I'm ok, I'm ok
Seazu says: Let's see if the girls have more guts *pulls Jjairr onto the dancefloor*
Celizan claps softly
Dalmurr offers an arm for Laspeyresia to get up
Travosh says: Best stay away from those poison spewing vases.
Mordaan chuckles
Qed smiles to Onilise
Onilise shouts: We are the archers we hunt our prey with arrows!! RAWR!!!
Fyrre's ears lower in disappointment when she can't seem to find anything in the vase. She pulls her hand back out and slowly faces the wall with her purr growing louder still.
Dannae takes some steps
Laspeyresia takes the arm and carefully get up.
Travosh considers killing onilise
Jjairr does her best to resist, attempting to stay seated. "Oh, thank you, but I couldn't, darling. I really can't dance."
Onilise raises her mug to her sister in bow and laughs then drinks
Edaru follows Lillia, obviously getting a bit nervous again. Once they stop he tries to run his arm around her arm while taking her hand with his free hand. During that he steps on her toes. Quickly he lowers his head. "Sorry...not a good start."
Voron stretches briefly and smiles at Dannae.
Korumak begins to sway to the music
Mordaan leans in towards Jjairr "Me neither."
Laspeyresia lets herself fall back ontop the pillow.
Mordaan smiles
Lillia winces but murmers an "aww" sound when she look at Edaru
Dannae turns looking for the vases Travosh mentioned
Seazu says: And you both too!
Voron says: Me both who, Seazu.
Seazu takes Voron's and Evirea's hands and takes them both onto the dancefloor
Onilise sits, out of breath from all the dancing and the smoke
Icerra rolls her eyes away from Waesed and towards the dancing crowd and wonders if the dwarf is going to answer her question or not
Fyrre exclaims in joy and excitement to someone unseen, "Frrost!"
Seazu smiles "Let's have fun tonight!"
Jjairr smiles back at Mordaan. "I'm only good at a handful of things, and dancing is certainly not on the list."
Dalmurr sits beside Laspeyresia and grins [mask still off?]
Voron tries to swiftly free himself from Seazu's grip.
Mordaan laughs
Lillia giggles and waits for Edaru
Seazu grins at Voron "No way. You're way too good at dancing."
Edaru taks a small step back from Lillia and starts to dance with clumsy movements.
Voron chuckles. "Maybe so."
Onilise points to Sasigher, then the dance floor and laughs
Korumak grins impishly
Dannae says: Did I hear someone was looking for you Oni?
Lillia giggles again and lets Edaru lead her "Relax Edaru..."
Travosh says: You'd think the organizers there would be a tad worried that they brought along poison vases
Qed whispers "hello dame Dannae - nice mask"
Onilise turns to Dannae "Oh yes I guess a Dermorian lady"
Seazu says: Awe.
Celizan smiles at Korumak and claps
Edaru raises his head looking into Lillia eyes. After a long while he says softly. "It's hard Milady....being that close to you."
Seazu leaves pouting "That's poor."
the smoke seems you swirl around the people dancing
Voron says: It's a poison, but weak and only hallugenetic, not worse than alcohol Travosh.
Korumak sings, "Some where over the rainbow, way up high, theres a land that I dream of, once in a lulla-bye."
Korumak sings the chorus a secound time.
Travosh says: Alcohol doesnt make the user blind
Dalmurr looks at Laspeyresia "So that Kelan guy... he's a friend?"
Evirea taps her foot. "Hm, perhaps they are enjoying the effects they are having, thogh somehow I don't think it's a terribly bright idea, considering that this lady right here almost met the floor with her face." She looks pointedly at Dannae.
Dannae turns with a smile to Qed, "Thank you.. so nice of you to say"
Lillia giggles at Edaru "I think you will get used to it."
Icerra clears her throat and asks again, "I said you kill the menki yesterday?"
Fyrre converses with the wall in a voice partly drowned out by her simultaneous purr, "How'd you get here? Yer mask's real interestin'!"
Travosh says: Oh, Onilise, did you return Dharah's mask to her?
Waesed says: Curehan, yes
Dannae says: Hmm, well sure when you blew that stuff at me
Laspeyresia says: Oh, yup! I kept running into him!
Voron nods at Evirea. "It's a celebration - being irresponsible is part of the fun."
Voron smiles at Evirea. "Dance?"
Onilise looks over at Travsh "no I haven't. I have it here" she pats her bag.
Icerra says: How'd ya do it?
Travosh nods.
Waesed says: Magic
Onilise smiles "thanks for picking it up for her"
Evirea shrugs her narrow shoulders. "I would disagree with you, but I suppose that's not up for question." She arches a scaled brow at the inquiry. "I suppose if it is required," she replies. "Though I assure you there are plenty here with lighter feet than I who would make more fitting partners."
Mordaan claps
Waesed says: I had no armor on
Edaru opens his mouth under his mask and forgets to go on with the dancing movements for a moment. He just stands there and stares at Lillia for a long while before remembering everything around him again. Slowly he starts to dance again while whispering in a nervous tone. "I....would like that Milady."
Dalmurr grins "I keep running into beautiful women pretty frequently, too."
Korumak bows to the group and puts away his lute
Icerra frowns in dissapointment
Dalmurr winks
Celizan smiles brightly
Jjairr says: Mordaan, may I ask you something?
Voron laughs at Evirea. "Look out for those with the face to the floor then, that's better anyway."
Mordaan says: Sure
Travosh says: My my Voron, moving in on the femros?
Korumak says: Thoes are the new ones
Lillia tilts her head and giggles at Edaru stopping "well you better."
Voron says: You're not taking any shots, Trav.
Celizan says: great songs, Korumak, I wish i could have heard the new one
Onilise giggles
Laspeyresia suddenly turns around and looks in the direction of the stage. "Oh no! We forgot all about the knife!"
Travosh says: Have no need, already had enough of her when I had to swallow her damned elixer.
Jjairr turns toward Mordaan and lowers her voice slightly. "What would you say are some guilds worth knowing these days? My knowledge of the up-and-coming in Hydlaa is a bit outdated, I'm afraid."
Waesed says: Kiso carved me up with his blades. Easy mark with no armor.
Fyrre says: "Oh. Er, d'you wanna..." Self-consciously, then Enkidukai looks around and mumbles, "Nevermind. But there's somethin' I been really wantin' to tell you."
Onilise downs the whole mug and then rocks twice to get up off the bench and get a refill
Dalmurr says: Right... rotting dust.
Mordaan looks around "Hmm"
Waesed says: Ruined my costume, too
Voron looks from Dannae to Onilise and back. "I am not letting Edaru dancing alone out there. Anybody fancy a dance of you?"
Celizan leans in to whisper to Korumak
Evirea stamps her feet on the stone, first one, then the other. She looks down as if observing something, apparently not at all concerned at the conversation between the men, disregarded quickly as irrelevant. "Ah, but it worked, and requires no more testing."
Icerra seems to lose interest in Weased for a moment, but it's peaked again when she hears of his death, "Oh yeah? so you died too?"
Laspeyresia looks at Dalmurr, confused. "...rotting... dust?"
Waesed says: yes I did
Travosh says: Find another test subject, I'm not eager to drink it again
Mordaan says: Knowledge Seekers are still around and kicking. Daughters of Xiosia is good people. I'm sure I'm going to forget some.
Edaru makes a humming sound under his mask..even seems to relax a bit. "You mean...you want me this close to you?"
Dannae looks at Voron, "Mmm, I don't know... I want to"
Dalmurr looks at Laspeyresia "Eh? That's not how you curse around here?"
Lillia giggles "Of course silly. Why would I want you far away?'
Icerra smirks, "you know they's sayin' no one woulda died had you not chased after them."
Voron tilts his head a bit at Dannae. "But?"
Laspeyresia laughs. "That's a curse?"
Waesed says: It is better to die and have Dakkru restore one rather than be maimed for life.
Evirea chortles at that. "As I said, it needs no more testing. There are worse fates than a bad taste, a quick bit of sweetbread would offer a perfect remedy."
Jjairr nods. "I've heard good things about the Daughters. And the Knowledge Seekers, of course. Old friends."
Mordaan says: The Hammers and the Bloodstones are around quite a bit. Good to know if you need some crafted wares I suppose.
Fyrre says: "I, uh..." Her purr fades and she stumbles backward with a surprised growl, muscles tensing.
Dannae says: Well... ok... but you might have to hold on
Icerra says: Whatchoo think they was gonna do to the girl?
Dalmurr says: Of course it is! Like pile of dust, rotting meat, or dustbag as an insult. You never heard of it?
Travosh motions Dannae over. "here, Think I've got just hte thing for that."
Voron bows his head to Dannae. "I'll try."
Edaru sighs softly but casually stokes Lillia' s back with his hand "I'm...I...it's just that never ever anyone wants to have me around at all."
Waesed says: I had no problem with paying a ransom for her freedom, but Kiso showed up screaming to kill her.
Travosh passes a hand near Dannae, giving a small strength spell to help with her jelly-legs
Laspeyresia shakes her head. "Where I'm from, we say.. Did rats take a..."
Korumak shrugs and whispers back
Lillia giggles "we have been together through so much... Why wouldn't I want you around. You even saved me...."
Laspeyresia blushes. "...wait, let's not go there."
Dannae steps closer to Voron then looks at Travosh, "What... a thing for ..." 'scuse me Voron"
Waesed says: Curehan did- slit her throat. And Kiso kept me from being able to heal her.
Dalmurr suggests "...dust?"
Mordaan says: I don't know too much about others.
Evirea looks over at Fyrre curiously upon hearing her growl. "Ah, ah, relax fenki," she says. "Nothing to be angry about."
Lillia gazes dreamily into Edaru's eyes
Icerra says: Kiso you say?
Jjairr says: Do the Daughters have a leader?
Voron smiles. "Sure."
Seazu's head turns into Jjairr's direction
Mordaan says: I believe it's Dannae if I'm not mistaken.
Fyrre says: No! What're ya---Why?
Onilise follows Seazus gaze
Waesed says: Yes. He is crazy for blood.
Icerra says: I'ma have ta seek him out, then
Dannae says: Ok, I'm ready Voron
Fyrre quickly stumbles away from the invisible threat, about to crash into Evirea.
Travosh moves back to his seat, grinning at the thought of where this might lead.
Edaru keeps his eyes on Lillia and says in a somewhat sad voice. "I never could take my eyes off you...I even followed you in secret just to get a glimpse of you. That's why I was around that day to safe you."
Dalmurr yawns "You know, I'm tired now."
Voron smiles and leads Dannae to the dancefloor.
Seazu smiles at Jjairr "Not a leader, a high priestess."
Evirea frowns beneath her mask. She turns and moves towards the fenki, raising her hand to bring it towards the side of her neck and the beginning of her shoulder. She brings her other hand around, and tries to press her thumbs smoothy into the arteries supplying blood to the fenki's brain, clamping down just long enough to cause her to lose conciousness [If it works.]
Waesed says: Kiso, most likely, serves no gods
Onilise sneezes and hiccups at the same time making a weird noise then she giggles
Laspeyresia yawns along. "I suppose it is getting late..."
Lillia makes an "aww" sound "Well I am glad you did... I don't want to think of what would have happened if you weren't there."
Seazu says: Leader sounds so... military
Dalmurr says: Where are you spending your nights?
Mordaan smiles at Seazu
Icerra smiles to the dwarf, the tips of her fangs bared briefly, "If he's goin' 'round killin' fer no reason... then no.. he ain't... death has gotta be just as meaningful as life fer it ta count."
Onilise nods "she's our high priestess"
Lillia moves closer to Edaru and leans her head on his shoulder
Mordaan says: Without knowing anything about the guild, one would not likely just say "take me to your high priestess"
Laspeyresia waves in the direction of the plaza. "Oh, there's this... house."
Laspeyresia grins.
Mordaan grins
Onilise shrugs
Waesed pulls out his pipe and fills the bowl from a pouch on his belt.
Dalmurr says: Remember my offer to take you home?
Seazu says: We are a guild of followers of Xiosia. It doesn't sound too unlikely to me.
Onilise says: Hi Celizan
Waesed says: He seems to just enjoy killing.
Jjairr turns to Seazu and nods, correcting herself. "A high priestess. Thank you." She looks at the amulet around Seazu's neck. "Would you be her, then?"
Seazu says: But you were right, our High Priestess is Dannae.
Mordaan sees a yulbar and doesn't even pay attention any more
Celizan says: Well met, Onilise I have not seen you in a day or so
Fyrre frantically, uselessly tries to grab at Evirea. An unconscious body falls and audibly hits the stone ground.
Hallucination starts to sway in time with the music.
Laspeyresia says: Haha, well you can take me as far as the plaza.
Onilise smiles "yes good to see you! Are you enjoying the ball?"
Laspeyresia holds up a finger. "I don't even really know you, you know!"
Voron smiles
Edaru sighs slightly relieved at the replay. "I thought...that if I tel you, you don't want me around anymore." He tries to pull Lillia even a bit closer to himself as he leans his head against hers and whispers. "I always loved you...since the first day I say you."
Celizan says: I like Korumak's new songs
Mordaan says: No Dannae is a Nolthrir.
Onilise says: Oh good I'm glad to hear that!
Travosh chuckles at Fyrre's tumble, fully capable of softening the landing and choosing not to
Icerra shrugs nonchalntly, "Ain't nuthin' wrong with takin' pleasure in killin'... but there's gotta be more reason to it, else it's all wasted."
Mordaan says: A masquerade ball is not a good place to have to identify people.
Mordaan chuckles
Dalmurr nods "Oh, that's alright, I guess I'll find a place to stay for the night. Wasn't asking for that."
Travosh blinks, noticing something not quite right on teh floor.
Voron begins to carefully make some dance steps with Dannae.
Lillia says softly "I love you too Edaru."
Laspeyresia says: Oh! I hadn't even thought about that...
Icerra says: see, the girl... her death was wasted... but yers... you died tryin ta save someone, so it's got meaning to it, get it?
Hallucination prances around the couple who are dancing.
Dannae smiles to Voron, "Not 'xactly the kind o' dancing I usually do"
Seazu waves at both, Mordaan and Jjairr
Celizan leans and says softly, "I'm actually terrible at parties, i think I'm going to sneak away soon."
Travosh says: Ah... Who's yulbar is that?
Seazu picks up the little Yulbar
Waesed says: I would rather heal than destroy. Even the Dark Way makes me uneasy.
Fyrre stares up at Dannae and Voron through glassy, dilated pupils in the shadows of her mask.
Edaru pulls Lillia tight to himself and leans his head back a bit to plant a kiss on her hair.
Voron titls his head a bit. "Well, lead then." He smiles at Dannae under his mask.
Seazu says: Awe, cute
Waesed says: Yes, and I have no fear of dying
Dalmurr says: Eh... all right. You think I'm a thief or something?
Onilise waits for Celizan's reply
Icerra says: Yeah... didn't think ya did
Icerra says: Death ain't somethin' ta be afraid of
Seazu snorts at Icerra
Celizan says: Did you say something, Onilise, I didn't hear you
Waesed says: I can even take myself to the Death Realm to help another.
Lillia relaxes and leans more on Edaru
Onilise says: Oh yes I just asked if you were enjoying the ball
Laspeyresia grins. "...or something..."
Laspeyresia carefully gets up and takes a moment to keep her balance.
Celizan says: MMMM well...I'm not very good at parties
Fyrre winces and curses a few times, clumsily grabbing her head.
Seazu says: So what's missing?
Dalmurr shrugs "I ehm...", then gets up as well
Mordaan remembers something and turns to Jjairr "Ah and what's Elady's guild?...ah yes, Gifts of the Dome.
Waesed says: I must say that Dakkru fasinates me.
Onilise waves her mug of lakka around "well just have a drink or two and enjoy the view! We want you to stay"
Icerra lifts her chin and looks at Weased doubtfully, "Oh yeah?"
Waesed says: Nite, Las
Mordaan says: Elady is a good friend, helps run the Stonehead in Gugrontid.
Jjairr looks back to Mordaan. "Ahh... The name sounds familiar, I don't know if I know her personally though."
Dalmurr smiles, looking as bit disappointed "So I'll take you to the plaza."
Laspeyresia waves over at Waesed. "'nite!"
Hallucination stand up on his hind legs swaying back and forth imitating the dancers/
Edaru rubs his body slightly against Lillia's while speeding up the dancing movements a tad again. Leaning is head against hers he whispers. "I'm happy...please make this moment last forever."
Mordaan says: Is that yulbar danc...eh never mind. Nothing surprises me any more at this party.
Travosh frowns beneath his mask, thinking he'll have to redouble the spell keeping the air around himself drug-free
Waesed says: It is a real mistery too me. She is a healer and the final true death.
Icerra nods her head, "That's right, the fina"l truth.
Fyrre looks around in confusion until her gaze locks on Travosh. "...The h#^&?"
Onilise says: pushes a mug of red liquor over to Celizan and makes another toast "Hail Xiosia!"
Lillia giggles and sways along with Edaru "It will..." she closes her eyes and just leans against him
Travosh says: Stay on the floor savage, you huffed too much of the drug.
Celizan lifts a cup to Onilise's toast and takes a sip
Onilise pulls her tail off her costume and throws it over her shoulder, laughing
Travosh looks down at his new benchmate. "Umm... Hello there?"
Hallucination jumps up on the bench and sniffs at Travosh
Edaru withdraws on of his hands and reaches up to his mask. He takes it off revealing his deformed face then leans his head against Lillia's again and rubs his face against her hair.
Travosh attempts to prod at the Hallucination
Onilise notices the yulbar "awwwee don't hurt him"
Hallucination turns and lifts his leg towards Travosh and starts to relieve himself.
Fyrre awkwardly, shakily stands. She glares at Travosh, removing her hands from an aching head to aim a swipe of her claws at him.
Onilise gasps and laughs
Travosh immediatly begins to spark violently, at both the yulbar and the savage
Hallucination finishes and hops off the bench and trots off.
Fyrre slashes at the air, not even coming close to hitting the Klyros. She backs away, nearly losing her balance, with a grumbled string of curses.
Qed casts a Quick Dry spell towards Travosh's leg
Lillia holds onto Edaru tightly as the dance
Travosh isnt actually wet, considering its a hallucination. an illiterate hallucination
Jjairr says: This ball is getting weirder and weirder.
Icerra's attention is brought over to the commotion around the dancefloor
Qed whispers to Travosh "sorry, can't do more for he smell..."
Mordaan nods at Jjairr
Waesed says: It has gone way beyond wierd.
Edaru has a few tears run down his cheek as he goes on dancing, tightly entangled to Lillia
Travosh cant smell anything, only seeing a visual hallucination
Celizan takes a sip of red liquor
Qed smiles and mumble "a visual one - but it stinks..."
Travosh isnt talking aloud Qed.
Fyrre suddenly tips her head back to stare at the sky as if in awe, though nothing especially interesting is there. She reaches out to paw at an empty space of air.
Icerra wonders about the people on the dancefloor, "..and they call me insane..." she thinks (for all the Azure Way mages to hear)
Waesed smiles
Waesed says: Are we not all insane?
Celizan says: How are you Waesed?
Icerra glares at Weased, "Magicks..." she mutters under her breath
Masaro walks back to the party and looks around
Waesed says: sad
Celizan says: Why sad? Korumak told me what you did, you're a hero
Edaru takes a deep breath then leans his head back again to put the mask back in place. Then he has to chuckle and mutters softly. A ball that makes dreams come true. Worked pretty well I think."
Mordaan says: So Jjairr, anyone else from Felines Lair around these days?
Icerra looks at Celizan and at Weased, "Why you sad? You regret what you did?"
Waesed says: No, Trav and others think that I slew Dharah.
Fyrre sends a flurry of strikes at the invisible prey floating in front of her, and her tail swishes with the excitement of this attempt at playful hunting.
Waesed says: falsely accused
Lillia giggles and looks at Edaru "Wonderful."
Travosh raises an arm, contemplating incredible weighting Fyrre to the floor
Celizan says: Well Dharah knows what happened does she not?
Waesed says: I admit that I killed her kidnapper
Masaro looks over at Fyrre, tilting his head
Waesed says: Yes, and so should her guild sisters, but they don't seem to want to speak up for me
Edaru looks in Lillia eyes and replies. "Indeed. It was worth every bit of effort I..we put into it."
Fyrre unknowingly invites Travosh to cast the spell on her: she runs over to him and clambers onto the bench in persuit of the prey.
Lillia giggles "I'm glad."
Jjairr says: Oh yes. Haraun and Minks are still around. Haraun was here earlier, in fact.... He left a bit before you arrived.
Travosh gladly sticks out his leg to try and trip her
Jjairr says: Shurrim, too, Shurrim's been in the guild house. I haven't seen her myself, but she's here.
Icerra says: The worst part is her death was meaningless, this Kiso made it that way
Celizan says: Waesed, it will be straightened out in time....for now can i get you anything?
Mordaan says: Ah, I never paid attention that Haraun was in the guild.
Dannae is oblivious to everything except the dancing
Waesed says: No, thanks. I have drinks and food.
Celizan says: alright then
Mordaan says: We are down to a small handful as well. Activity comes and goes.
Mordaan says: Every once in awhile we get a new member but they rarely stay long.
Edaru nods "So am I."
Jjairr says: Sad, isn't it? Half the people in Hydlaa these days couldn't care less about old hands like us, yet our guilds have been around longer than they've been in the city.
Voron tries to dance so that Lillia and Edaru do not appear to be alone on the dancefloor.
Icerra turns to see Masaro take a seat. Her dark expression brightens visibly even from beneath her mask
Fyrre barely avoids Travosh's leg and soon scampers laughingly away.
Lillia giggles and looks from Edaru to looking around at all the people standing around
Celizan says: It was nice talking with you both, but now I must be off.
Voron smiles under his mask. "What do you think about them?" he asks Dannae, nodding towards the couple next to them?
Waesed says: see you later
Icerra dismisses Celizan without notice
