GLoG 18: It's A Brand New Day

[FireFox]

Really? Huh, it looks like I could be of use around here after all. I'm not really a fan of having the world end, don'tcha know.

[Kaelaroth]

Vorka sighs. Don't "just say", lad. People won't appreciate it. And while you're here, it'll do you good to learn that a great number of beings are invulnerable. He nods to Tobias. Can I get you anything, sir?

[happyturtle]

"We'll be glad of any help we can get. We want to form two teams, one to go after the body and another to go after the phylactery. He regenerates fast, so we need to try and destroy both at the same time."

[Fredthefighter]

Invulnerable? But would two all powerful and invulnerable beings be able to harm each other, or would it be like hitting a brick wall with a small insect? Are these beings invulnerable to time itself?

[Lex-Kat]

When you are done talking to your friends, I would like to see you in private, if I may.

[FireFox]

Uh, no thanks.

Well ma'am, I think I'd be best suited to being on the team that goes after him, considering my knowledge of small confrontation tactics.

[Kaelaroth]

How would I know of such things? Vorka says, a teensy touch annoyed with the younger boy. And where did you get omnipotent from? I only mentioned invulnerability. The older boy raises a hand to his temples. Just don't feel the need to speak your every thought, Johnny. Vorka nods to Tobias. As you will, sir.

[Morty]

Since this lich is also a demon, I suppose I can be of use in tracking him down. Of course, I never seem to be around where people are planning this.

[happyturtle]

"Thank you, Tobias. I'm sure you'll be a big help. Excuse me."

She escorts Dr Beit to a private room so they can talk.

[Fredthefighter]

I doubt I can be of much help here, a very powerful lich seems a bit out of my league at the moment.
Johnny turns to Vorka.
I was just asking questions. I'm young and curious about the world around me, it's not my fault there is so much to know in this world. I'll try to keep my mouth shut a bit more often but apart from that I can't really change much.

[ThePhantom]

Okay, that sounded arrogant, but as a Druid I'm fairly well-rounded. And the kid seemed to express a belief taht things can't be invulnerable, which goes against almost every school of warfare.
You said this placed redeemed bad people. Why then does everyone here seem focused on the idea of fighting?

"I don't focus on fighting. In what I did for a living, if things had gone down to fighting, your'e dead." Marley, after staying up most of the night researching and drawing up plans, falls asleep.
(deadtime)

[Kaelaroth]

Youth is not an excuse, that's what my teachers used to tell me. Vorka says, in an almost brotherly tone, ruffling Johnny's hair, before he heads into the kitchen to prepare a meal.

[Lex-Kat]

Turtle, I would like to ask a favor of you.

[happyturtle]

"What is it?" she asks.

[Fredthefighter]

Johnny bobs his tongue out at Vorka, but in a brotherly way.
You sound just like my brothers you know, Jim, Geoff, George, Robert, Ronald and Todd.

[Kaelaroth]

I lack brothers, though, should yours be kind or intelligent people, I would be glad to be related to them. Vorka says, from the kitchen, deadtiming.

[Lex-Kat]

I have a patient who seems to have a bad attitude toward good. If I can convince her to join GLoG temporarily, would you allow her in, to be redeemed?

[happyturtle]

"If she's willing to make a good faith attempt to redeem, then she is welcome. If she has to be coerced into joining, I think it would be better for everyone if she was not admitted."

[Lex-Kat]

I will ask her then. Good day to you. He tips his hat, and *winks* out.

[Morty]

Wenomir goes to the training room.

[Lex-Kat]

Judy is in the whirlpool, relaxing. Her clothes lay beside the pool.

[Fredthefighter]

Johnny continues reading.
Hmmmmm, spells to improve every possible avenue, physical power, agility and mental power, including persuasiveness. I might need those.
The words once more leap from the page into his mind.
Right, enough of breaking a mental sweat for today, can't neglect the body in the process of improving the mind.
Johnny enters the training room and begins doing several combinations of punches and kicks on one of the punchbags.

[Boo]

Knock. Knock. Knock.

[Morty]

Meanwhile, in the training room, Wenomir stands before one of the training dummies in a deep concentration. Then, he unleashes a flurry of blows against it. He's been doing this for a while, but is obviously stiff unsatisfied.

[Fredthefighter]

HIYAH!
Johnny unleashes a spinning right roundhouse kick to the punchbag, followed closely by a left snap kick, a right uppercut and a right axe kick.

[Boo]

. . .

Ding Dong

[Lex-Kat]

Judy gets out of the pool and puts on a towel.

She goes and answers the door. Hello?

[Fredthefighter]

Johnny pops his head out of the training room.
Sorry about that, I got caught up in my training.

[Morty]

Wenomir looks at Johnny's exploits with a hint of doubt.

[Fredthefighter]

(What's that supposed to mean?)
Johnny just whistles a jolly tune.
