[17:52] < Kyann> * It's just coming on early autumn in Halmaron, and the leaves of the trees are just beginning to turn red and gold outside the window of the members-only Adventurer's Guild pub. It's a slow day in the pub, with only a few patrons and the bartender in the room- generally the place never picked up until evening. Most people never do realize that the pub offers a damn fine lunch as well as drinks and dinner.
[17:53] * Captain_Vittles has joined #Generica_Lounge
[17:53] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Captain_Vittles
[17:54] * Kyann is sitting in the corner, feet propped up on a table, enjoying a nice hearty meal of Chocobo wings and beer. Of course the wings aren't real chocobo, that would be sick, they're just spicy chicken.
[17:54] * Captain_Vittles is now known as Stabitha
[17:54] * Stabitha walks in, sees Kyann and immediately goes off to the library section.
[17:55] * Kyann glances off after Stabitha, none-too-discreetly admiring her 'assets'
[17:56] * Leon_Sernia is at the bar, holding an empty glass and having a big grin on his face.
[17:56] < Kyann> "Hmm. Anyone else feel a weird chill just a second ago?"
[17:57] < Stabitha> "Did you sit on an icicle?" she calls out from the other side of the room.
[17:58] < Leon_Sernia> Kyann: "Nope. Didn't feel a thing."
[17:59] * Kyann smirks. At least he gets his own joke. Oh well.
[18:02] < Kyann> "Hell of a run that last one was, eh?" Kyann says in Stabitha's direction.
[18:03] * Stabitha sets mode: +s
[18:08] * Leon_Sernia orders another drink.
[18:09] < Stabitha> "It was... interesting."
[18:10] < Kyann> "That it was. I have to admit, though, you did pretty good out there. You know, for a girl, and all."
[18:10] * Stabitha gives Kyann a withering look.
[18:11] < Stabitha> "Don't forget your place, boy."
[18:11] * Kyann grins broadly. "I think we have differing opinions on just where my 'place' is, is all."
[18:12] * Kyann smirks a bit more. "Or maybe not."
[18:13] < Stabitha> "I will admit, your little flying act was rather useful. Though a few strange skills don't change things."
[18:17] < Kyann> "Well, if you'd rather I *not* watch your back next time..."
[18:19] < Kyann> ((Hey Blair. Roll Awareness.))
[18:19] < Stabitha> "Well, you can certainly stop staring at it when we're in here."
[18:19] < Stabitha> !roll 1d100
[18:19] < Stabitha> ((No highwind))
[18:19] < Kyann> (Arr.)
[18:19] < Stabitha> !gullroll 1d100
[18:20] < Gull[BBQ]> (1d100) 22
[18:20] < Stabitha> ((Shit, AFK for a bit. Parents got home. :/))
[18:21] < Kyann> "Hey, I'll have you know I wasn't... well..... um. Hey, you should be flattered!"
[18:21] < Kyann> ((then we PAUSE!))
[18:38] * Leminex is now known as Lemulhu
[18:55] < Stabitha> ((back, but for how long? :/))
[18:55] * GenLeon[Hiding] has joined #generica_lounge
[18:55] < Lemulhu> ((Nobody knows))
[18:56] < Kyann> ((I dunno. :P))
[19:02] * GenLeon[Hiding] has left #generica_lounge
[19:06] < Kyann> (Sorry, you here right now? My roommate was being an asshat.))
[19:07] < Stabitha> ((Yeah, for a bit))
[19:07] < Kyann> ((UNPAUSE FOR THE MOMENT))
[19:08] < Kyann> * As Kyann's fumbling through a justification for being an ass-looking perv, a shadow flits across the bars of sunlight coming through the window. An untrained eye might think it was just a bird flying by, but it *is* awful large.
[19:09] < Stabitha> "What was that?"
[19:09] * Kyann looks up. "Huh?"
[19:09] * Stabitha puts down her book and goes to the window.
[19:10] < Kyann> * It's a clear early autumn day. The city is going about its normal business...
[19:10] < Kyann> ((Just a sec, lemme see if you have any helpful skills))
[19:11] < Kyann> ((Roll Stealth.))
[19:11] * Leon_Sernia looks confused, then goes back to drinking.
[19:13] * Kyann mutters something about crazy women.
[19:14] < Stabitha> !gullroll 1d100
[19:14] < Gull[BBQ]> (1d100) 14
[19:15] < Kyann> ((Damn, Gull likes you.))
[19:15] * Gull[BBQ] is now known as Gullwhacker
[19:15] < Stabitha> ((He's my homey. And he doesn't get pissy like Highwind does))
[19:17] < Kyann> * Again, the untrained eye would see nothing out of whack in the calm street scene. But Stabitha knows where someone interested in not being seen would be, and knows where to look - and she's rewarded by catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure moving into the alley next to the Guild pub.
[19:18] < Stabitha> "Hmmmm..."
[19:18] * Stabitha casually strolls out of the lounge and outdoors, towards the pub.
[19:19] < Stabitha> -pub +alley
[19:19] * Kyann walks out after Stabitha, taking a second to catch up to her. He draws astride her, and in a very casual, conversational tone, says, "What in the holy hells is going on?"
[19:20] * Stabitha looks up at him and shrugs.
[19:20] < Stabitha> "Oh, nothing..."
[19:21] * Stabitha tries to look innocent.
[19:21] < Stabitha> "Just out for a walk."
[19:21] * Gullwhacker . o O (Stabitha Sidequest?)
[19:21] < Kyann> ((Well, prologue to it more like :P))
[19:23] < Kyann> "Oh... I see how it is." Kyann stops at the mouth of the alley. "You don't want me around, you can at least say so."
[19:23] * Stabitha ponders.
[19:24] < Stabitha> . o O (He is useful in a fight...)
[19:24] < Stabitha> "Alright, fine. This time I'll give you the benefit of the doubt."
[19:24] < Stabitha> "I saw someone strange in this alley. I want to see what's going on.
[19:25] < Stabitha> "There could be gil and treasure to be had."
[19:25] * Kyann grins. "Probably someone on the low side of the law sneaking around... but it's worth a look."
[19:27] < Stabitha> "Just remember, I saw him and the good loot is mine."
[19:29] < Kyann> * The alley is dark and imposing. It's mainly used by the pub as a place to toss trash, and by the patrons as a place to use as a toilet or have the occasional fight after drinking too much. Broken beer mugs scatter the area, and there's a definte feel of 'not right' in the area. ((Awareness plzthx))
[19:30] < Stabitha> !gullroll 1d100
[19:30] < Gullwhacker> (1d100) 36
[19:30] < Stabitha> ((Dammit Gull))
[19:36] < Kyann> "I don't see anything interesting in here..."
[19:36] * Kyann idly kicks a half-shattered beer mug.
[19:40] < Kyann> * Suddenly, three black-clad figures drop down from what seems like nowhere. They're dressed in skintight outfits and carrying unusual curved, double-bladed weapons, and their faces are covered by masks. "Stabitha Jones?" one asks in a raspy voice.
[19:41] < Stabitha> ((Shit fuck damn hell, AFK again. :/))
[19:41] < Kyann> ((No rush. Depending on what happens, we're not far from being done for the moment.))
[Big delay deleted.]
[23:07] < Stabitha> ((You there, Teucer? Sorry bout the extended absence. :/))
[23:10] < Kyann> ((ARRR!!!!))
[23:11] * Stabitha grips her knives.
[23:11] < Stabitha> "Who wants to know?"
[23:16] < Kyann> * The figure seems to eye both Stabitha and Kyann carefully. "Miss Jones, has anyone contacted you recently? Anyone... unusual?"
[23:19] < Stabitha> "No... assuming I'm even Miss Jones."
[23:22] < Kyann> * The figure chuckles slightly, as tis two companions exchange a glance. Kyann steps forward. "Just what in the hell do you want exactly?" he speaks up. The dark clothed figure takes a step back, seeming almost caught off guard, but then regains its composure. "Just an exchange of information. It's got nothing to do with you, boy."
[23:22] * Kyann mutters but backs off a bit.
[23:26] < Stabitha> "Say I am her... what exactly is the problem? And who would this unusual contact be?"
[23:31] < Kyann> "We're looking for a man named Quinn Jones. We think he might come to you... as you're his only survivng relative."
[23:32] * Stabitha goes ice cold.
[23:33] < Stabitha> "He won't contact me."
[23:33] < Stabitha> "Now get lost."
[23:35] * Stabitha stares, her mind churning through a million possibilities at once.
[23:37] < Kyann>
[23:39] < Stabitha> "If I do hear from him, he'll be dead before you know about it."
[23:39] < Stabitha> "Just out of curiosity, what has he done *this* time?"
[23:40] * Kyann looks at Stabitha in surprise, but doesn't say anything.
[23:41] < Kyann> Figure> "That's between him, and the Order of Night." ((You can use Streetwise to identify this group if you like))
[23:42] < Stabitha> !roll 1d100
[23:42] < Stabitha> ((argh... I also have a Lore that may apply to this))
[23:42] < Stabitha> !gullroll 1d100
[23:42] < Gullwhacker[Dormant]> (1d100) 86
[23:42] < Stabitha> ((either way, no good. :p))
[23:42] < Kyann> ((Actually, roll Lore seperately))
[23:43] < Stabitha> !gullroll 1d100
[23:43] < Gullwhacker[Dormant]> (1d100) 91
[23:43] < Stabitha> ((Gullwhacker, why have you forsaken me?))
[23:45] < Kyann> ((You don't recall anything about this organization))
[23:46] < Stabitha> "Well if your little Order wants my help - which I'm not saying you'll get - I'll have to at least know why I'd be giving you the pleasure of killing him."
[23:48] * Kyann has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[23:49] * Kyann has joined #Generica_lounge
[23:49] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Kyann
[23:51] < Kyann> ((I missed any response))
[23:51] < Stabitha> "Well if your little Order wants my help - which I'm not saying you'll get - I'll have to at least know why I'd be giving you the pleasure of killing him."
[23:52] * Kyann shifts uncomfortably, but keeps quiet. The black-clad figure speaks. "He was a member of our order, but he betrayed us."
[23:53] < Stabitha> "Hmph, figures."
[23:53] < Stabitha> "Well, I'll think about it. But no promises... assuming he even bothers to contact me."
[23:55] < Kyann>
[23:57] < Stabitha> "Hmph... the nerve of them."
[23:58] < Stabitha> "They obviously didn't know him very well... serves them right for getting double crossed."
[23:58] < Kyann> "I don't know where, but somewhere I got the idea you don't like him that much..."
[23:59] < Stabitha> "He's a liar, a cheat and a man with no honour at all."
[00:00] < Stabitha> "The best thing he ever did for me was leave."
[00:00] * Stabitha walks out of the alley without another word.
[00:01] * Kyann leans against the wall of the alley and lights a cigarette. "And you'd see him dead..." he says after her, more to himself. "Hell of a thing to kill a man...."
[00:01] < Kyann> ((And that's it for tonight. :P))
[00:02] < Stabitha> ((The plot thickens... DUN DUN DUN))
