[This is a new roleplay idea I'm trying to roll out, dawning on a new form of religion / worship - a cult of the ancestors]
*
* *
In the plaza, by Harnquists's shop Ralleyon meets up with some friends by chance. It's been a busy day and the Crystal is about to set, so he suggest to go somewhere quiet and catch up on the news.
Gaian smiles 'If I don't know where... is a bit hard' and giggles
GuildChat from Easton: wherever you'd like Lady Gaian
GuildChat from Ralleyon: Anywhere but here...
Gaian smiles again
GuildChat from Ralleyon: I'm beginning to feel agoraphobic
GuildChat from Gaian: I know what are you thinking, Rall, I was joking *smile*
GuildChat from Ralleyon: I know *smile*
GuildChat from Gaian: Go, then!
*
* *
They quickly arrive to lady Gaian's house in a secluded place of the city, with a splendid view above the plaza.
Ralleyon breathes some fresh air
*Gaian digs in the keys, then takes one and open the door
Eldkin says: Ahh... peace and quiet
*Easton smiles
Easton says: Gonna check out the view.. be right back
Ralleyon says: 'course
Ralleyon says: By the way Eldkin, I have found a ruined sword in my backpack
Ralleyon says: I believe it is yours
Ralleyon says: Also... about that sparring match of ours
Eldkin says: Not exactly a view from my office but still nice ey ?
Ralleyon says: I have been busy these days dulling some blades which would serve our purpose very nicely
Ralleyon says: aye, indeed
Ralleyon says: Where is your office though?
Eldkin says: you still have my wooden training sword ?
*Easton chuckles
Ralleyon says: aye
Easton says: Eldkin's office is up high
Easton says: Not my type
Eldkin says: at the top of Harn's house
Eldkin says: He doesn't mind though
Easton says: He doesn't mind cause he doesn't know
*Easton chuckles
*Eldkin chuckles
*Ralleyon laughs
Gaian smiles 'something to eat or drink, sirs?'
Easton thinks, "Hmm.. I have an apple here actually, I think that'll do just fine."
Ralleyon says: It's a nice warm evening
Ralleyon says: Why don't we lay dows some mats and drink a bit of tea?
*Easton nods, "Mats and tea sounds nice."
*Gaian smiles and nods
*Gaian runs in the kitchen
*Eldkin rolls out a bigger blankie
*Easton takes his place on the mat
*Ralleyon smiles and sits down
*Eldkin leans against the column
*Gaian [is] back with some cups of tea, smiling
*Gaian puts it on a little table
*Ralleyon leans against the wall
Ralleyon says: Mmmm, smells great
Ralleyon says: What's the secret milady?
Ralleyon says: What spices and ingredients do you use for this fine tea of yours?
Gaian smiles
Gaian says: 'Nope, tea is just tea' and giggles
Ralleyon says: hehe
Ralleyon says: smells great
*Easton whispers to Ralleyon, "She's hiding the secret ingredients..sneaky.."
Ralleyon takes a cup of tea and sips form it carefully
*Ralleyon nods
*Ralleyon snickers
*Eldkin grins
*Gaian raises her head shaking it, laughing as a mad
*Ralleyon fudges near the kitchen window and looks for some cookies to snatch
Gaian says: 'Drink, it sure in it there are not poinsonouse herbs and if you wait again a bit it will become too cold, then you will not say 'she hides secret ingredients'!'
*Easton smiles
*Gaian giggles
Ralleyon says: I am sure it's just fine milady
Ralleyon says: I was just asking because I like collecting herbs as well
Ralleyon says: Perhaps we can try some receipes sometime
Ralleyon sips his tea and "mmmm"s
Gaian says: 'No poisonous herbs in tea surely no, but maybe in the kitchen...' and laughs
*Ralleyon has a craving for fudge
*Ralleyon leans against the wall and looks at the beautiful night crystaldome
*Ralleyon hums a song
*Ralleyon wiggles his wings cheerfully
*
* *
Ralleyon fidgets around, thinking about the latest events in his life. Eventually, he picks up some courage and decides to share a story with his friends and ask their opinion.
Ralleyon says: So...
*Gaian thinks on
Ralleyon says: Let me tell you a little something
*Easton munches on his apple
*Easton listens
*Gaian nods 'I love the myths'
Ralleyon says: I've been thinking about something, and would like to ask your opinion
*Ralleyon smiles to lady Gaian
A stranger in the night approaches and looks about, feeling lost. She asks for directions and leaves hastily.
Ralleyon says: So... where was I?
Ralleyon says: Ah yes... a little story
*Eldkin nods and listens
Ralleyon says: I've been having some strange dreams lately and I'm not sure what they mean
Ralleyon says: They seem like messages from beyond, from another realm
Ralleyon says: and the faces I see, although I forget their names, are very familiar
Ralleyon says: I feel very much at ease in these dreams, although the beings I meet and talk to are spectral
*Gaian tilts her head thinking
Ralleyon says: What do you think about it... what could it mean?
Easton says: Hmm..
*Gaian smiles
Easton says: I'm not too sure..
Ralleyon says: I have a little theory... but first I'd like to know if you have a possible explanation
*Gaian looks calmfully
Easton says: Well..
Easton says: I don't know.. are there any other specifics you can give?
Ralleyon says: Not really.
Ralleyon says: They are random dreams
*Gaian closes her eyes, still tilting her head...
Easton says: Hmm.. I really don't know..
Easton says: What do you think?
Ralleyon says: There is a setting for all of them... they seem to be part of normal life
Ralleyon says: I am in a tavern let's say and talk to that spectral being
Ralleyon says: It all feels comfortable and strange at the same time
Ralleyon says: I do not know much about it myself... but I heard rumours
Easton says: Well, you came here from a portal.. maybe someone is trying to contact you from the realm you came form
Ralleyon says: You see... Klyros do not like gods and do not belive in them
Ralleyon says: I know they exist, but we as a race do not like to submit ourselves to their will.
Ralleyon says: The word for it is called atheist I believe.
*Easton nods
Ralleyon says: However... some old Klyros legends mention another form of religion
*Gaian raises a claw, how to asking the word
Ralleyon says: but only a few have that gift and they were considered madmen by my folk
*Ralleyon pauses
Ralleyon says: Sure Gaian, ask away
*Easton nods..
Gaian says: Is happened something in the day you got this 'vision'?
Ralleyon says: Nothing specific
Gaian says: Too a simple book...
Ralleyon says: But I have had a general feeling for a long time... I got a bit homesick
Ralleyon says: Which makes me thnk it can be a side-effect of nostalgia and perhaps a bit more
Gaian says: Read some myths... heard something which remember an old myth..?
Easton says: Hmm..
Ralleyon says: Well...
*Gaian nods
Ralleyon says: There is that old Klyros myth I've been telling you about
Ralleyon says: about the old religion
*Gaian nods
Ralleyon says: like I said, Klyros do not like gods
Ralleyon says: But have always held their ancestors in high esteem
Ralleyon says: Even when I was little, there were special ceremonies to honour our dead and our family
Gaian says: Uhmm...
Easton says: Well.. maybe thats what it is..?
Ralleyon says: this myth I'm telling you about refers to a stronger form of "reverence"
Ralleyon says: So, if my memory serves me right, there was an underground cult
Ralleyon says: ...of Klyros performing rituals, as in a cult of the ancestors
Ralleyon says: I couldn't make anything of it back then since I was little
Ralleyon says: But in the light of the latest dreams... I'd say it might all be connected somehow
Ralleyon says: Or perhaps I'm just homesick and thinking too much
*Ralleyon laughs
*Ralleyon finishes his cup of tea
Ralleyon says: What say you, about all of this, does it sound plausible?
Easton says: You know.. I can't help but feel dumb
Easton says: I really don't know.. I think its something you have to figure out. and you'll know when you do
Ralleyon says: Aye
Ralleyon says: I'll keep notes about this and see what becomes of it
*Easton nods
Ralleyon says: Well, I just felt that I had to get it off my chest
Ralleyon says: It's been bugging me as of late and I couldn't hold it anymore... so I turned to my closest friends
*Ralleyon smiles "Thank you for listening"
As soon as they are done, everyone disappears into the night, aiming for a good sleep. A street urchin lurking about approaches.
Ralleyon says: Greetings
Miyen says: hey.
Miyen says: Just taking a look.
Ralleyon says: No problem with that
*Eldkin nods, greetings
*Ralleyon smiles
Miyen says: Surely not.
Miyen says: staying out to enjoy the night, or waiting for someone?
Ralleyon says: Just finished a tea party actually
Ralleyon says: And the night was lovely indeed
Miyen says: I see. Tea party.
Miyen says: You'd try a beer party.
Miyen says: More of a party, if you know what I mean.
*Eldkin nods, yap just cleaning the place
Ralleyon says: One feels the need for quieter and more relaxing ways to have a chat... away from that dreaded and crowded plaza
Miyen says: Oh, I see.
Miyen says: Trascendent meditators.
Miyen says: You'd put a warning sign out there.
Ralleyon says: Well, this is lady Gaian's house, we couldn't be so rude as to do a beer party.
*Ralleyon snickers
Miyen says: Gaian, uh?
Ralleyon says: We leave that for the tavern
Miyen says: Interesting.
Ralleyon says: Aye, a good friend of ours
Miyen says: You're just cleaning her house, aye.
Ralleyon says: All done here!
*Eldkin nods
Ralleyon says: Better go to the tavern, perhaps I can still find a spare room for the night
*Miyen smiles
Ralleyon says: Else, a night out camping is not bad at all in this good weather
Miyen says: You aim for the beer, don't you...
*Ralleyon grins
Ralleyon says: Ssssshhhhh
*Eldkin grins
Ralleyon says: Shall we, gentlemen?
Eldkin says: yeah...
Miyen says: Go, please.
The party disappears into the night, Eldkin and Ralleyon heading to the tavern to get a beer before hitting the sack.

You should take what was said and wrap it into a short story rather than just copy and paste logs.
makes it more entertaining and enjoyable to read.
just my two cents =)

Actually, I chose this style on purpose for a great deal of reasons, including my ease to RP and not having to rewrite everything in my own words at the end before posting it. The general idea is that it resembles a sort of a play and I like how it turned out - it is an in-game roleplay event after all. I appreciate the criticism, but it's not going to change (due to those reasons above) so, you have two choices - read it or... don't. :)
On another note, the dates before each chat do not belong there so I'll remove them.
