<Hatch> So do I.  This isn't something to be scared about. 
<Hatch> I can be scared, because I have to react to what you do. 
<Alpha> i m still getting rid of people ;)
<Hatch> okay. 
<Alpha> ready anytime.
<Hatch> okay 
<Hatch> loading my stuff now. 
<Alpha> ooh loading :)
<Hatch> hehe 
<Hatch> should have done it a minute ago, 
<Hatch> The darkness of the night is close around you, you can feel the 
chill of the cool early spring air. Your gaze drifts over the still night, 
watching a few trails of smoke drift upwards into the clear night sky. 
<Hatch> You fix your eyes on your target for your night's journey. Your 
sharp vision cuts through the darkness, staring into the dark windows. 
The house is empty, you're sure because you've spent the last two weeks 
listening to rumors and quietly speaking with staff of the house and 
political friends of Newmark's. 
<Hatch> Ripe for your talented hands, the darkened house awaits you. Wary 
for watchers, you check the street one last time before dropping down from 
your perch on the low roof across the street. 
<Hatch> (ok) 
<Alpha> *slowly skulks across the street staying in shadows*
<Hatch> (wow, it's funny, i've never seen you n/a before) 
<Alpha> ((dont want to be bothered))
<Hatch> (yep.. doh, loading one more thing) 
<Hatch> Make a move silent check 
<Hatch> *sneak sneak sneak*

<Alpha> ((making it trying to be fast about it))
<Hatch> (okay) 
<Hatch> (do you know how to do it?) 
<Alpha> (yes)
<Hatch> (ok) 
<Alpha> (passed) 
<Hatch> (okay) 
<Alpha> ((sorry it took so long i will be faster :) ))
<Hatch> You're standing in the alley on the west side of the house. You can 
go to the front, rear, or up. :)

<Alpha> (easily passes)
<Hatch> heh, okay. 
<Hatch> You're on the roof now. 
<Alpha> Carefully looks for a opening, also looking for traps
<Hatch> No obvious traps, there's a door set into the roof on the far side of you. 
<Alpha> attempts to get to the door avoiding light sources 
<Hatch> It's dark, except for the moons, and there's no lights up here.  
<Hatch> You get there easily. 
<Alpha> ((yeah))
<Alpha> *checks the door carefully, and after that i will see if it is 
locked*
<Hatch> Check for what? 
<Alpha> traps, alarm bells anything that i can check for.
<Alpha> trip lines

<Hatch> how much? 
<Alpha> needed a 5 % and rolled like a 24
<Hatch> You found no traps 
<Hatch> (oh, when you roll for thief skills, can you tell me how much 
you pass or fail by?) 
<Alpha> sure sorry :)
<Hatch> (np) 
<Alpha> *checks to see if the door is locked*
<Hatch> It opens when you pull onit. 
<Alpha> *loosens a short sword in its scabbard on my back and peers 
throught the open door, if it is dark will use elf infravision *
<Hatch> It looks like a storage space. 
<Hatch> You see a lotta boxes and stuff. 
<Alpha> "loot" *whispers*
<Hatch> Too much to carry. :) Drop down? 
<Alpha> Want to look what it is first 
<Alpha> might not want some of it
<Hatch> It's a room full of stuff. You can look around, but you have to go 
in first. 
<Alpha> *jams the door open, and goes inside*
<Hatch> Okay. 
<Alpha> *looks around*
<Hatch> It's darker in here, and it smells musty, the air is still and dry. 
<Hatch> You see countless boxes and cases. 
<Alpha> *checks for any openings or doors other then the one i entered in*
<Hatch> There's a door on the east wall. 
<Hatch> And two windows on the north and west wall. 
<Alpha> *checks just a few boxes*

<Hatch> You find a lot of paintings, small sculptures, and various 
knicknacks. 
<Alpha> "junk and too large to carry, much better stuff awaits"
<Hatch> In one box, you find stacks of writing. 
<Alpha> *scans over the writing*
<Hatch> It appears to be a family tree and history. 
<Alpha> *can i read what family?*
<Hatch> The Newmark family. 
<Alpha> "my marks for the evening, might be something of intrest here"
<Alpha> *how many papers?*
<Hatch> Hundreds, thousands. It's a very old collected work. Further to the
bottom, the papers get older and more yellowed. 
<Alpha> "these people are very anal, leaves the junk nd goes to the door"

<Hatch> It's  a hallway. 
<Alpha> *do i see anything moving?*

<Alpha> enteres the hallway, stays pressed against the walls*  ((what is 
the lightening conditions?))
<Hatch> Pretty much pitch darkness. 
<Alpha> ((WOO))
<Hatch> (heh) 
<Alpha> *looks at the hall*
<Hatch> You see two doors on one side, one not far from you, the other 
down near the end. On the otherside is a single door about halfway down, 
and an open passage at the far end.

wooden chest in front of a desk.

inch before it would pull on the wire.

<Hatch> Make intelligence check., 
<Kopporu>  {hope you're a smart girl!  ;)} 
<Alpha> Passed easy 
<Alpha> (by like 5 points)
<Hatch> You think cutting the wire carefully would work to disarm 
<Alpha> *uses my handed thieves tools to cut the wire* 
<Hatch> (arg! I've never rolled so many 20's on this die before!!!!) 
<Hatch> okay, you cut the wire. 
<Alpha> ((is that good or bad the 20s?))

idea, that coudl be beneficial to me"
<Hatch> He reaches down and grabs his sword. 
<Alpha> "Careful" *pushes a little bit*
<Hatch> "ah!" 
<Hatch> He draws it slowly and tosses it to the right. 
<Hatch> It clangs loudly off the counter and hits some dishes. 
<Alpha> "that was stupid."
<Alpha> "i might have let you live"
<Hatch> He turns his head and looks at you from the corner of his eye. "Not 
from where I'm standing." 
<Alpha> "still counting imaginary friends on yur side elmer?"
<Alpha> *listens*
<Hatch> "They're not imaginary." 
<Hatch> "Isn't that right, Cathall?"

<Alpha> *do i see anyone?, what is my back facing now? ?))
<Hatch> (need two hands to reload it.) 
<Hatch> (nope. nobody there) 
<Alpha> "Hiya mr. cathall, your looking good today"  *grins sort of 
crazily*
<Kopporu> {i toldya she was crazy  ;0} 
<Hatch> The man smiles 
<Kopporu> [;)} 
<Alpha> *poke* "walk forward a little"
<Hatch> (towards you? Are you in front of him?) 
<Alpha> (( behind, im trying to get him to walk toward the arch way a 
little* so i can look in
<Hatch> (oh, doh, the archway is behind you still.) 
<Hatch> (I thought you moved in front of him) 
<Alpha> ((not want you said before, ok))
<Alpha> no i tried to circle around him. put him between me and where i 
was before.
<Hatch> oh, so then you'd be in front of him. 
<Alpha> ((i guess))
<Hatch> you'd have to be. 
<Alpha>  ((ok))
<Hatch> (So you'r facing each other, and the arch is behind him) 
<Alpha> ((right))  ((what is behind me now?))
<Hatch> (the rest of the kitchen) 
<Alpha> "you still havent told me your name, or what your doing here"
<Hatch> "I work here." 
<Alpha> are you the upstairs or downstairs maid?"
<Hatch> "I'm his courtesan. What does it look like?" 
<Alpha> "where is he?"  "why were the doors unlocked?"  "answering 
questions gain years "
<Hatch> "He's gone somewhere for a few weeks." 
<Alpha> "better for me" "and the doors?"  "are you just trying to support 
your local thieves guild?"
<Hatch> He looks slightly confused. "Well, the roof entrance is supposed 
to be locked..." 
<Hatch> "The doors inside never are." 
<Alpha> "well i guess it was my lucky day" "your arent so bad"  "maybe you 
get to live" "how do i get out of here?"
<Hatch> He nods his head behind him. "both doors are through the common 
room." 
<Alpha> *points the cross bow at the guys knee*  "why dont you call to your 
buddy?"
<Hatch> He smiles. 
<Alpha> "an insane man smiles, when the odds are against him, or when he 
is about to do somethign really stupid"
<Alpha> "which isnt it?"
<Hatch> He smiles at you, saying nothing. 
<Alpha> "turn around"  "go into the common room" "SLOWLY"
<Hatch> He turns around. 
<Hatch> He keeps turning. 
<Alpha> "stop"
<Hatch> You see a glimmer of metal and something against your leg 
<Alpha> *looks down slightly*
<Hatch> er, you feel something against your leg 
<Hatch> (he's still moving) 
<Alpha> *moves closer to him, tries to hit him with the sword handle*
<Hatch> roll attack. 
<Alpha> Thac0 is 20, +1 to hit for str, rolled a 16
<Hatch> And +1 for elf bonus. 
<Alpha> ((oh yeah))
<Hatch> So that would hit AC 2? 
<Alpha> *right*
<Hatch> Yoouuuu hit him. 
<Hatch> Roll 1d4 damage. 
<Hatch> +1 
<Alpha> ((what is damage for a sword hilt :) ))
<Alpha> 4
<Hatch> okay 
<Hatch> He falls back and you feel a sharp sting along your side. 
<Hatch> 2 damage 
<Alpha> *looks for my attacker, dodging away from where i was *  (have a 
tumbling proficency and a 19 dex))
<Hatch> (it was the guy you just punched) 
<Kopporu> {tumbling... good nwp!  ;)} 
<Hatch> He's now laying on the floor 
<Alpha> (what is his condition? awake, attacking? unconcsicou?)
<Hatch> Awake. 
<Hatch> He looks stunned, but not hurt badly. 
<Alpha> ((can you some how fight not to kill but subdue?))
<Hatch> (yep. -4 to hit them though) 
<Kopporu> {what about unarmed combat?} 
<Hatch> (it doesn't kill) 
<Kopporu> {thats the point!  ;)} 
<Alpha> (( heck with that, attempts to fire crossbow, 1st bolt covered 
with cenipede venom
<Alpha> 2nd bold in the thing is unvenomed
<Hatch> owie 
<Hatch> Roll attack. 
<Alpha> *it doesnt hurt it just paralysizes *
<Hatch> yep 
<Kopporu> {well... the BOLT does!!!  ;)}

<Hatch> (1d3+1) 
<Alpha> ((does elf bonus go to crossbow?)
<Hatch> (nope) 
<Alpha> (uh, i have a problem?)

<Alpha> No  ((can i say something to him))
<Hatch> (Sure.) 
<Alpha> "just stop, i dont want to hurt you anymore, i dont want to be 
hurt, just let me go"
<Hatch> He doesn't answer. 
<Alpha> ((can i tell if the poison worked in anyway?))
<Hatch> He's clutching the bolt in his chest. His breathing is shallow. 
Other than that, he's not really moving. 
<Kopporu> {ya'killed him Jim!  ;)} 
<Hatch> (he's breathing!) 
<Alpha> "im going to leave now."  "dont follow me."  *with my back up 
agaist the wall i try to skirt my way to the arch way*
<Hatch> okay 
<Hatch> heeee doesn't move. 
<Alpha> ((make it?))
<Hatch> yep 
<Alpha> *looks into the common room* any people?
<Hatch> Walking into the common room on the main floor, you see a shadow 
shift in one of the large chairs. 
<Hatch> A small flame bursts to life in a lamp on the table, casting more 
light than it should be able to, and lighting the face of the person 
sitting there.  
<Hatch> She's staring directly at you, the light from the lamp, casting a
glow over the strikingly beautiful face of a young human girl cloaked in 
black. The light from the flame reflects from her eyes, making the faint 
green iris' seem to burn with life. 
<Hatch> . 
<Alpha> ((more like it hatch))
<Kopporu> {ooh la la} 
<Hatch> (wha?) 
<Kopporu> {;)} 
<Hatch> (You reached the next scripted part. ;) ) 
<Alpha> (but i finaly got someone tht looks good in my story:) ))
<Hatch> (She looks good?) 
<Alpha> (strikingly beautiful?)
<Kopporu> {i would think so!} 
<Hatch> (As compared to the medeocre, rather uninventive guard?) 
<Hatch> (hehe, she has high charisma. ;) ) 
<Alpha> "and now i have to go through you to get out is that it."  Sigh 
wont you people just leave me be"
<Hatch> Looking into your eyes, she nods. "It honors me to meet you at 
last, Domino." She smiles, looking as though some great secret has just 
passed between you, then stands slowly from the chair.  
<Kopporu> {says she who broke in  ;)} 
<Hatch> Her cloak falls open revealing a full length white body suit, 
interrupted only by the dark skirt wrapping her waist, and the soft 
leather boots laced to her knee.
"My name is Amanda Mason. And I have a proposition for you." 
<Lady Alexis> ((woowoo!)) 
<Hatch> (LOL Pixie) 
<Alpha> domino... how did you.. 
<Lady Alexis> ((she's HOT!)) 
<Hatch> (ROFL!!) 
<Kopporu> {**O_O**} 
<Hatch> (Gonna tell her you said so.) 
<Lady Alexis> ((who??)) ;-) 
<Alpha> "sorry lady, go buy yourself some cheap trollop i dont realy do 
humans
<Hatch> (Nobody) 
<Kopporu> {LOL} 
<Hatch> She laughs almost musically. "I did not mean that kind of 
proposition." 
<Kopporu> {my, arnt we picky! LOL  ;)} 
<Alpha> ((enough half elfs in the world already))
<Hatch> (Hardly any. :) ) 
<Kopporu> {not like you'd have to worry about that Buffy!!!  ;)} 
<Lady Alexis> (rofl!!) 
<Alpha> "ok, what type of propostion, like over and through, no those are 
prepositions."
<Lady Alexis> ((hehehehe)) 
<Hatch> "What we ask, simply, is to find someone. In exchange, we would 
offer you nearly anything you could ask." 
<Alpha> "vague, but im listening.  I keep what i got from here ?"
<Kopporu> {heehee} 
<Hatch> "Yes, I really don't care what happens to Sven's bizarre 
possessions." 
<Kopporu> {oooh... she knows what she wants!  ;)} 
<Alpha> "your just scored a point"  "who is the someone?" 
<Hatch> "That, I can't really tell you, as I don't actually know. I'm 
just a messenger for you." 
<Alpha> "and a darn good one too."  
<Kopporu> {oh ho!} 
<Lady Alexis> ((woowoo)) 
<Hatch> (lol!) 
<Alpha> "well, messenge away miss mason"
<Alpha> "that means tell me stuff, are you a natural blond?"
<Kopporu> {maussage?  ;)} 
<Kopporu> {LOL} 
<Hatch> "I'm asked to offer you to find this person, if you are interested,
a room for the night until my employer returns and he can explain further."
<Hatch> (note; Amanda has red hair. ^_^) 
<Alpha> "so you want me to go with you, wait in a room, and trust you, how 
about i just hand you all my weapons too?"
<Hatch> "I'd rather you not give those to me, actually." 
<Alpha> ((thats why i asked NATURAL :) ))
<Alpha> "well here is the only way we work this, little deal, you come 
with me, you stay in my room,"
<Kopporu> {!} 
<Lady Alexis> ((woooooo)) 
<Alpha> ((GUTTER MINDS))
<Kopporu> {exactly  ;)} 
<Hatch> She looks at you, slightly shocked, but covers it quickly. "Me? 
In -your- room? I should think not. They expect me back with you tonight." 
<Alpha> "they value you, they dont value me much at all, i got to have 
insurance. Thats you."
<Hatch> "You'd be surprised." 
<Alpha> "so untill i see your boss, me and you are joined at the hip if 
not closer"
<Kopporu> {LOL} 
<Lady Alexis> ((if not closer!)) 
<Kopporu> {closer.... closer....} 
<Hatch> (What's closer than the hip???) 
<Kopporu> {you'd be suprised!  ;)} 
<Alpha> (( you dont want to know)) :)
<Hatch> (not what she meant!) 
<Hatch> (Isn't it hard to walk when you're joined there?) 
<Lady Alexis> ((depends on how you define "work")) 
<Alpha> ((its a figure of speech hatchetman :) ))
<Hatch> (lol!!) 
<Kopporu> {if they're joined, why are they walking period???} 
<Hatch> "I'm afraid I must insist, it's quite safe where we're going. 
Safer than your room." 
<Hatch> (Change of venue, Pix?) 
<Kopporu> {erk, flat joke  ;)} 
<Alpha> "i didnt say "MY" room i mean any where i go. You go. if you have 
a room, we can go there
<Hatch> "Oh, well then, we'll end up in the same place." 
<Kopporu> {how bout you... "go upstairs"  ;)} 
<Hatch> (5th floor, Pixie. ;) ) 
<Alpha> "yes we will and thats how i like it, safe"
<Kopporu> {its also a figure of speech!  LOL} 
<Hatch> She grins faintly. "Very safe. Shall we leave then?" 
<Alpha> We shall, you go first.
<Kopporu> {very faintly  ;)} 
<Hatch> She nods, walking through the common room to the rear door, which 
sits off kilter in it's hinges, hanging open. 
<Alpha> "hey amanda, great ass"
<Kopporu> {*GASP*} 
<Lady Alexis> ((!!!)) 
<Hatch> Her step skips a little and she almost trips on the door. 
<Kopporu> {no kidding!!!!  ;)} 
<Hatch> She looks back over her shoulder at you. 
<Hatch> (Hey, I always thought so too.) 
<Hatch> "Follow me, Domino." 
<Alpha> Grins
<Hatch> Leading you down dark streets and alleys at an easy run, she leads 
you along through some of the richest parts of town. 
<Alpha> *follows*
<Kopporu> {tryin to brush it off eh  ;)} 
<Hatch> The roads here are smooth and well cared for, the buildings clean 
and bright with new coatings of wash. 
<Alpha> "robbed it, want to robbe it.
<Hatch> (quiet you!) 
<Kopporu> {heehee} 
<Lady Alexis> ((hehe)) 
<Hatch> Turning down one last corner, the street you stand on now is large, 
small gardens divide the street down the center and tall leafy trees cast 
shade down, sheltering the streets from the noon sun. The shops here all 
look clean and remarkably well-built, virtually all of them having actual 
glass windows. 
<Alpha> ((hold please))
<Alpha> ((need a glass of water))
<Hatch> (k) 
<Hatch> ah. I'm just going to paste a few more lines... 
<Hatch> Along the shadows in the front of the buildings she leads you, 
down to the end of the street, skirting around a large and remarkably huge 
building. It's polished white walls bright under the glow of the moons.
She stops at the corner and backtracks, counting off 30 feet where she 
stops again and examines the wall, tracing her finger along the faint seam 
of a white marble brick. Amanda smiles, seemingly having found what she 
was looking for, placing her palm on the wall and pushing. 
<Alpha> *back*
<Hatch> A heavy rumbling vibration moves through you as a small section of 
the wall withdraws and swings to one side. 
<Hatch> k 
<Hatch> Just tall and wide enough to step through, she steps in and becons 
you follow her.
The stone wall grinds closed again and the girl leads you down the dim 
passage, coming out in what looks like a large storage closet. 
<Alpha> "Coming out of the closet amanda?"
<Kopporu> {heehee} 
<Lady Alexis> ((rofl) 
<Kopporu> {you are BAD!  ;)} 
<Hatch> She looks back at you. "Looks like I'm not the only one." 
<Kopporu> {poor Amanda ;)} 
<Lady Alexis> ((touche!)) 
<Kopporu> {corma' tavvy vue?} 
<Alpha> "nah i  just need A man da Kiss"
<Hatch> She opens the door and steps out into a hall, looking back at you, 
then leading you down a winding hallway. 
<Kopporu> {LOOOL} 
<Lady Alexis> ((hahahahahahaha)) 
<Hatch> She doesn't look back, you hear her faintly mumble. 
<Kopporu> {**falls outta chair**} 
<Kopporu> {teehee} 
<Hatch> Amanda rounds one last corner, a dozen meters down the hall she 
stops and opens a door, gesturing you inside. Pointing in various places 
about the room. "This is one of the nicer rooms here. There is a bath off 
to that side, and the bed, there. Closets off over there too, everything, 
anything you'd need. Anything else and you can simply ask of me."
 
<Alpha> "anything"  "thats just too easy"
<Kopporu> {dont say that AMANDA!!!  ;)} 
<Kopporu> {she shoulda rolled a wisdom check before saying that...  ;)} 
<Hatch> (If I could reach through the line, I'd snap your bra, Pixie!) 
<Lady Alexis> ((snicker)) 
<Kopporu> {LOL} 
<Alpha> This will be fine, where is your bed?
<Hatch> She points to a door on the opposite wall as the arch to the 
bathing room. "In there." 
<Alpha> "to far"   "i meant what i said"  "you stay in here"
<Alpha> "or..im...history"
<Hatch> She looks at you and frowns. "Where then?" 
<Lady Alexis> ((on my lap, baby)) 
<Kopporu> {haahhahaaaa} 
<Alpha> "ill "sleep" on the floor, you can have my bed"
<Hatch> "You obviously noticed the large number of beds." 
<Alpha> "because i wont do much sleeping anyways"
<Hatch> She quirks an arched eybrow at you. "Neither do I." 
<Kopporu> {...} 
<Kopporu> {!!!!!!} 
<Lady Alexis> ((swoon-thump)) 
<Alpha> "well we can sit here and stare at each other then"
<Kopporu> {*restrains herself*} 
<Hatch> (ROFL!!) 
<Alpha> "whats your alightment amanda >:)  "
<Kopporu> { 
<Hatch> (C/G. Neutral tendencies) 
<Lady Alexis> (9that's not what she meant)) ;-) 
<Alpha> (d&d version of whats your sign :) ))
<Kopporu> {you told?????} 
<Hatch> She looks at you. "Riiiiight... sounds fun. You stay, I'm taking 
a bath then." 
<Hatch> (So?) 
<Kopporu> {whats Diyona's alignment?  ;)} 
<Hatch> (L/N) 
<Kopporu> {yyou're kidding me!} 
<Lady Alexis> ((Brendon>)) 
<Hatch> She walks off and through the arch to the bathing room. 
<Hatch> (hehe, I ain't telling his!!) 
<Kopporu> {you;re such a tease Hatch!} 
<Lady Alexis> ((hey!)) 
<Hatch> (Why am I kidding you?) 
<Alpha> "hold it"
<Kopporu> {I'll TAKE A BATH NOW... jeeze  ;)} 
<Alpha> *checks the bathroom for doors or windows"
<Hatch> "What? I suppose you want to watch? You wish, miss "I don't do 
humans."" 
<Hatch> One window, much too small to get through. Amazingly artful 
stained glass. 
<Alpha> "i dont know what you talking aobut *innocent look*  im just 
asking sure you don't leave"
<Hatch> "I'm not going anywhere." 
<Alpha> "good, and you like you got some elf in you some where."
<Hatch> She looks down at herself, then turns and steps into the bathroom. 
<Kopporu> {ack!  the pick up lines!!!!!  ;)} 
<Alpha> *sits on the bed, rests* *doesnt sleep*
<Alpha> *watches the door*
<Hatch> Amanda comes out of the bath more than an hour later wrapped in a
beavy towel. "Your turn, if you want." 
<Alpha> "theres only one problem with that."
<Lady Alexis> ((an hour?? THat thing got a detachable showerhead??)) 
<Kopporu> {LOL} 
<Hatch> **^_^** 
<Kopporu> {im going to die laughing over here!!!!} 
<Hatch> "Problem?" 
<Alpha> "you cant be out of my sight, so if i go in there, so do you"
<Hatch> She sighs. "Sure." 
<Hatch> "Just don't expect me to help." 
<Kopporu> {poor Amanda.....  ;)} 
<Alpha> "your just all full of yourself arent you"
<Alpha> *bathes*
<Alpha> *finishes*
<Hatch> Amanda sits next to the bath and stares at the door. 
<Alpha> ((No dang showerhead in that bad room :P ))
<Lady Alexis> ((hahahaha)) 
<Hatch> (ack!!) 
<Hatch> (What are you evil girls doingwith your showers????) 
<Kopporu> {you dont wanna know!} 
<Hatch> (yep!) 
<Alpha> Ok, i guess your on the level, but you still stay with me.
<Alpha> gets out of the bath, and walks into the bed room
<Hatch> She follows 
<Kopporu> {naked??} 
<Alpha> ((im an elf we are not shy :P ))
<Kopporu> {naked it is!  ;)} 
<Hatch> She walks behind you. 
<Alpha> i dont like you back there amanda.
<Kopporu> {amanda likes the view  ;)} 
<Hatch> <deleted> 
<Kopporu> {heehee} 
<Hatch> She goes and sits down on the bed. 
<Alpha> *sits up against a solid wall*  "now we wait"
<Hatch> Amanda gets up and lowers the flame on the lamps in the room, then 
returns to the bed. 
<Hatch> She tosses the towel and climbs under the blankets. 
<Hatch> "You wait, I sleep. Have fun." 
<Kopporu> {heh ;)} 
<Alpha> "i will, dont dream about me to much, human"
<Hatch> She rolls over and doesn't answer. 
<Kopporu> {owtch  ;)} 
<Alpha> *waits till morning or someother event*
<Hatch> That'd be morning. :) 
<Alpha> *dresses*
<Hatch> (All night you were naked??) 
<Lady Alexis> ((woowoo!)) 
<Hatch> (show off. ;) ) 
<Kopporu> {brrrr!} 
<Hatch> (POINTY!!!!) 
<Alpha> ((its how i sleep in real life so :P ))
<Kopporu> {roll for frost bite  ;)} 
<Lady Alexis> ((ACK)) 
<Hatch> (didn't need that image!) 
<Lady Alexis> ((I so!)) 
<Lady Alexis> ((ER I do!)) ;-) 
<Alpha> *deletes image for hatch and pan*
<Hatch> Too late. :) 
<Hatch> Amanda eventually starts to wake up. 
<Hatch> She sits up and looks at you, then flops back down in bed. 
<Hatch> (nice and graceful-like) 
<Kopporu> {LOL} 
<Alpha> "your such a morning person"
<Hatch> She mumbles something unintelligible 
<Alpha> "sorry  i dont do that on the first date"
<Kopporu> {someone is snippy!!!  ;)} 
<Hatch> She mumbles something else, significantly shorter. 
<Hatch> ;) 
<Alpha> (heheheh)
<Alpha> "lets go meet this boss of yours, im bored now"
<Kopporu> {good luck getting her outta bed ;)} 
<Hatch> Eventually she gets up, walks over to the wall and pulls on a 
long velvet cord. 
<Kopporu> {doh!  no fun Hatch  ;)} 
<Hatch> "Not yet. Eat first, work later. 
<Hatch> " 
<Alpha> "yoru going to fix me breakfast?"
<Hatch> She laughs. "Yeah right." 
<Hatch> "I think what's on your bolts would be better for us." 
<Alpha> "sarcasm makes you wrinkle you know that dont you"
<Hatch> She wrinkles her nose at you. 
<Hatch> A few minutes later there's a quiet knock on the door, and Amanda 
yells out orders for breakfast. 
<Lady Alexis> ((oops)) 
<Hatch> She wanders back into the bathroom and slips into the big  tub. 
User Alpha  has left the chat
<Kopporu> am i the only one to lose Buffy? 
<Lady Alexis> ((so did I))

<Hatch> woo! 
<Lady Alexis> ((smooch!)) 
<Hatch> What's the last thing you read, Becca? 
<Alpha> :)
<Alpha> *you wrote about breakfast orders*
<Hatch> ok 
<Hatch> She wanders back into the bathroom and slips into the big  tub.  
<Alpha> Yells through the open door, "for someone so hostile you get nude 
alot"
<Hatch> "Look who's talking!" 
<Lady Alexis> ((rofl)) 
<Alpha> "but im not the hostile one, i just wanted to be your friend :) "
<Hatch> "Mine and half the other people you've met!" 
<Kopporu> {LOL} 
<Alpha> "so im a friendly girl is there a law against taht?"
<Hatch> "Well you weren't too friendly last night, were you?" 
<Kopporu> {in 39 states  ;)} 
<Hatch> (lol!!) 
<Alpha> ((heheh))
<Alpha> "you started it"
<Hatch> "Did not." 
<Hatch> There's another knock at the door. 
<Alpha> "get that will you" *loosens one sword*
<Alpha> ((hello?))
<Hatch> You hear her say something, then she walks into the room dripping 
wet. She opens the door and yanks in a rolling tray, then slams the door. 
<Hatch> (typiiiing! ^_^) 
<Alpha> ((ah))
<Kopporu> {LOL} 
<Alpha> "what are you so mad about"
<Hatch> "We don't keep boogey men in the halls here anymore." 
<Kopporu> {what a character!  ;)} 
<Alpha> "but you keep them in the bathroom, but some time she comes out 
and slams doors"
<Kopporu> {ooooh} 
<Hatch> She reddens and turns away from you. 
<Alpha> "im sorry"
<Alpha> "whats to eat"
<Hatch> "Don't be, yes, please eat. We have to be ready in a few hours." 
<Alpha> "im gong to have to ask you to do something for me."
<Hatch> She gathers some food on a plate and sinks down onto the bed, 
munching slowly. "What something?" 
<Alpha> "never mind" *takes from exaclty the same food she took and eats*
<Lady Alexis> (9rofl)) 
<Hatch> She grunts softly, eating and watching you. 
<Alpha> "hire an artist, paint my picture, it will last longer"
<Hatch> "Unlikely." 
<Kopporu> {rowr!  ;)} 
<Hatch> (rofl!!) 
<Lady Alexis> ((fffffft! fffffft!)) 
<Alpha> "are we ready yet?"
<Hatch> "No, not yet." 
<Hatch> She finishes eating and wanders back into the bathroom. 
<Alpha> walks into the bathroom and looks around
<Hatch> Amanda's in the bath again. 
<Hatch> Her eyes are closed. 
<Alpha> Sneaks up real close and whispers in her ear
<Alpha> "what so great abut this bathroom :) "
<Kopporu> {heh heh  ;)} 
<Hatch> She smiles, but doesn't open her eyes. "I just like the hot 
water." 
<Hatch> (quiet yOU!) 
<Alpha> "well just tell me when it gets cold, maybe i can warm it up 
again"
<Kopporu> {......  ;)} 
<Alpha> *CHOKE* 
<Lady Alexis> ((!!)) 
<Kopporu> {OIIIIIIYE!} 
<Hatch> "You're welcome to try." 
<Lady Alexis> ((!!!!!!)) 
<Alpha> "i might just do that, but later, come on we cant just sit inthe 
bath room all day"
<Hatch> "Well, that is what I was planning on doing. I don't feel like 
having a staring contest with you for the next four hours." 
<Alpha> "lets go then"  "hop to it"
<Hatch> She doesn't move. 
<Alpha> "dont make me come in there"
<Hatch> She sinks further in. 
<Alpha> *sigh* Walks out in to the room, appears back seconds later with 
normal clothes on, steps into the bath tub*
<Hatch> (dressed?) 
<Alpha> ((hatch is wanting nudity))
<Lady Alexis> ((rofl)) 
<Hatch> (*^_^*!!!) 
<Lady Alexis> ((well, amanda's naked)) ;-) 
<Alpha> "ok now what?"
<Hatch> (But Domino is now in the tub, fully clothed?) 
<Alpha> (yeps)
<Hatch> She looks up at you and laughs. 
<Alpha> "what are you laughing for ?"
<Hatch> She slows a little, still giggling. "Never seen anyone do that 
before." 
<Alpha> hum?
<Alpha> *sits down* "well you wont get ready"
<Hatch> "Neither did you." 
<Alpha> " WHA. i was ready."
<Hatch> "Well, I -was- too. Now you're about as ready as I am now." 
<Alpha> Leans over, "then i will go get ready again, please try to hurry" 
*quick peck*
<Lady Alexis> ((woooo!)) 
<Hatch> She stares at you. 
<Alpha> *walks out soaking wet*  *dries off, and changes back into the 
leather armor, sits on the bed eyes clotsed*
<Hatch> Amanda walks out of the bath about 40 minutes later, and goes into 
the closet. 
<Hatch> You hear her shuffling around for a while before she comes out 
again, dressed in a short white dress and cape. 
<Hatch> "Ready?" 
<Alpha> *sits quietly* "yes"
<Hatch> She sighs. "Lets go then." 
<Alpha> *stands up*  "lead on"
<Hatch> She walks to the door and leads you out. 
<Alpha> *follows*
<Hatch> She leads you again through the wandering halls, heading south, 
and eventually up a long flight of stairs. A long hall of indentical doors 
line the long hallway at the top. Turning left and walking nearly to the 
end, he stops at a set of double doors. 
<Hatch> Outside the doors wait a tall man in a light robe, and a elven 
girl leaning against the wall. 
<Alpha> "oh now i have to share"
<Hatch> The elf looks at Amanda, who simply waves her hand and says "Don't 
ask." 
<Hatch> Amanda opens the door for you and waves you inside. 
<Alpha> "if this is a trap, your bum wont look as good as it did last night"
<Hatch> "I'm sure." 
<Alpha> *walks in*
<Hatch> She closes the door. 
<Alpha> *looks around*
<Hatch> Inside you see a haphazard group of people. 
<Kopporu> **zzz** 
<Kopporu> **purr purr zzzz** 
<Hatch> Including a orange haired girl who has a happy, silly grin on her
face. 
<Hatch> ;)

long bow>

<Lady Alexis>

<Alpha> "nice bow"
<Kopporu> **zzz** 
<Lady Alexis> <smiles> "Thank you." 
<Hatch> (B, I'll have to write up a list of what you stole, and your xp,

<Kopporu> **twitches** 
<Lady Alexis> "Are to to be another companion?" 
<Alpha> WOOO :)
<Alpha> "if you mean, suckered into a room by a horny person, yeps"
<Lady Alexis> <chuckles> 
<Kopporu> {heh heh} 
<Hatch> (my NPC's are NOT horny!!!) 
<Lady Alexis> "I suppose that could be what I mean." 
<Hatch> (uhm, except for one of them!) 
<Lady Alexis> <smiles at Brendon>

<Hatch> He looks away.

<Hatch> *^_^* 
<Lady Alexis> "My name is Alexis." 
<Alpha> "domino, um nice to meet you"
<Lady Alexis> "nice to meet you as well." <smiles> 
<Hatch> Brendon frowns at the orange haired girl, kneels down next to her 
and places a hand on her forehead. 
<Kopporu> **zzz** 
<Alpha> "whos is that?"
<Lady Alexis> <looks at the sleeping girl> 
<Hatch> He then gets up and settles back, perched on the arm of the chair. 
<Lady Alexis> "I really don't know. SHe dozed off before she really said 
anything." 
<Hatch> He tilts his head and watches you all intently. 
<Alpha> "well is she house broken?"
<Kopporu> **blink** **blink** 
<Lady Alexis> <chuckles> 
<Lady Alexis> "I'm not checking." 
<Kopporu> **gets up**

<Kopporu> **scratches her ribs** 
<Lady Alexis> "Did you have a nice nap?" 
<Kopporu> ".... yes" 
<Lady Alexis> "You looked comfortable." 
<Alpha> "come on name, your N.A.M.E.  what they call you"

<Lady Alexis> "Well, may I call you fuzzy too, then?" 
<Lady Alexis> "We need to address each other somehow." 
<Kopporu> {showing teeth Alexis?  ;)} 
<Kopporu> "whyzzat?" 
<Lady Alexis> ((She never shows teeth!)) 
<Kopporu> {oh ok  ;)} 
<Lady Alexis> "Because it makes it easier to communicate." 
<Kopporu> **gets bored of the conversation and starts looking around the 
room** 
<Hatch> Brendon laughs softly. 
<Alpha> *points at the myself*  me domino, *points at the fuzzy girl*

<Lady Alexis> ((:-p))

<Lady Alexis> "No. Um.... fuzzy girl. She was humming a nice tune." 
<Kopporu> "hum hum hum" 
<Lady Alexis> "Yes, that one." 
<Kopporu> {are there any books in this area?  or shelves?  or anything??} 
<Alpha> *sits down*  
<Lady Alexis> ((there are books)) 
<Hatch> (The room is filled with books and stuff) 
<Kopporu> *starts pulling books off shelves** 
<Lady Alexis> <walks to Domino, sitting down in front of her> 
<Hatch> (All of them?) 
<Kopporu> *like... racking them off* 
<Lady Alexis> "Do you have any idea what this is about?" 
<Kopporu> *er... raking...* 
<Hatch> (You find that the books on one shelf don't move) 
<Alpha> "all i know is its got to be big."
<Kopporu> "oh?" 
<Kopporu> *pulls on the shelf* 
<Alpha> "whats the stry with fuzzy, she seems to dislike me"
<Lady Alexis> <nods> "they seem to have gone through a good bit of trouble 
to get us here. I was escorted all the way from Coventry, three weeks 
journey." 
<Hatch> Brendon smiles. "You can't get them to move. And you can't tear 
down the walll." 
<Kopporu> {there's a big mess now, the books are thrown everywhere} 
<Lady Alexis> "I really don't know, she hasn't spoken much." 
<Kopporu> **glances at whatshis face**   "why not?" 
<Lady Alexis> <looks around at the mess> 
<Lady Alexis> <chuckles> 
<Hatch> "Because you can't." 
<Lady Alexis> "I am glad I'm not the hired help in this place" 
<Hatch> He grins widely. 
<Alpha> "maybe it will go away, you know i didnt mean anything right"
<Lady Alexis> <ponders> 
<Kopporu> "why?" 
<Lady Alexis> "I don't think she was offended, Domino." 
<Alpha> "they lost or almost lost a man bringing me here."
<Kopporu> *stamps foot*  "what about it?  eh eh eh eh???"    {in refrence 
to whatsis face} 
<Lady Alexis> <eyes widen> 
<Hatch> Brendon laughs. "Because they're attached." 
<Kopporu> "attached?????" 
<Lady Alexis> <looks to Brendon> "My escord was more fortunate." 
<Lady Alexis> <smiles> 
<Kopporu> "why would someone do THAT??" 
<Kopporu> *sighs in disgust* 
<Kopporu> *begins pacing* 
<Hatch> Brendon looks at Alexis and blushes. "Well, the man in the Newmark 
estate didn't work for us." 
<Lady Alexis> "Brendon?" 
<Hatch> "Yes, Alexis?" 
<Kopporu> *and kicking about the books* 
<Lady Alexis> "There are now four of us here. Are there many more?" 
<Alpha> "four?"
<Hatch> "There should be three more, yes." 
<Hatch> (there is a quiet elf. She looks drunk."

<Kopporu> {that too} 
<Hatch> (That's what he said!) 
<Lady Alexis> ((hmm)) 
<Kopporu> *stops* 
<Lady Alexis> ((oh, our NPC. ;-))) 
<Kopporu> *stares at Domino* 
<Hatch> (Trust the evil Dic... DM) 
<Kopporu> {how is Domino sitting?}

<Kopporu> *and puts her face about an inch away from hers, on an even 
level...* 
<Lady Alexis> <eyes widen a bit> 
<Kopporu> *and just STARES* 
<Alpha> "hi"  *stares*
