GLoG LIII: These are the Days of our Lives.

He certainly did. Before she died, Vidalia likely would have used a whip to get him motivated. She must be getting soft in her deadness.

((DEADTIME))

[ApeofLight]

[By the tree]

Okay bye!

And Garth seems to be so unlucky and yet so lucky at the same time.

Garth takes a short break to wipe his brow and take a breath. Hey get back to work! Garth is soon back to work chopping up the wood.

Melody writes down what the planchette says. Skuld? Why are you answering, and not my Uncle Raven? Melody ignores Reinholdt's suggestion. What ridiculous advice.

Shania sees the bluebird and smiles at it. ~~Hello.~~ She telepathically sends to it. Using the bird as a diversion from all the scary stuff.

Raven of Blackdust is not here

[Boo]

{BWC}

Shania sees the bluebird and smiles at it. ~~Hello.~~ She telepathically sends to it. Using the bird as a diversion from all the scary stuff.

{BWC}

Panicked by the sudden mental intrusion, the little bluebird flaps vicariously and tips over. Not everyone takes kindly to telepathic communication. Don't worry though, it hasn't fallen off the sill.

[Reinholdt]

Raven of Blackdust is not here

"Well yes, we gathered that much, thanks. But why is it that you're the one answering?"

[Lex-Kat]

{BWC}

Shania stands and runs out the door. Birdie!! She'll go check on the poor bluebird.

I'm sorry Mister Bluebird. I didn't mean to hurt you. she says as she looks at, not touching it, and almost in tears.

{Inside BWC}

Melody nods at Reinholdt's question.

[happyturtle]

[BWC]

I served him mead in the golden hall before the runestones were implanted.

[The Bushranger]

[BWC]

Shrike watches Shania depart in surprise, then turns her attention back to the Norse...man? woman? ghost.

"Runestones? May I ask, honoured Skuld, what runestones you speak of?"

See? She can too be diplomatic!

[Je dit Viola]

Going up to the Main Lodge (again)

Requiem, who is wearing brown boots and gloves, which are pretty big (knee/elbow big), a cape which is dark and red, dark pants, a sash which is blue, among other things, and has a general "I'm definitely NOT evil" look about her, and has blond hair.

She has come, to the Main Lodge, to do something. I have no idea what, but it sounds fun.

[Lord Iames Osari]

[Main Lodge]

Cerise arrives and begins looking for Daisuke.

[Earl of Purple]

Stump, by the Lake

There's a purple half-dragon sitting here playing on his laptop. He's wearing shorts and a red t-shirt. The fellow is bald, with green glasses.

Main Approach

A black-haired man wearing a suit and sunglasses is giving a black-haired seven-year-old girl with green eyes a piggyback ride heading towards GLoG. The girl is wearing a denim dress and holding a teddy bear. The girl has a rucksack upon her back.

[Je dit Viola]

Requiem sees these people approach:

...

Main Approach

A black-haired man wearing a suit and sunglasses is giving a black-haired seven-year-old girl with green eyes a piggyback ride heading towards GLoG. The girl is wearing a denim dress and holding a teddy bear. The girl has a rucksack upon her back.

She looks at them, tries to judge their power on sight and the way they carry themselves. And sensing their souls, as well, but that's only when they get close.

[Earl of Purple]

Main Entrance

The man in the suit with the sunglasses is stronger than average humans, able to walk on walls, and faster than average humans. There is something strange about his soul, almost as though the whole soul is on two planes at once without any diminishing in power; it also seems about 2,500 years old. The girl has the power of shapechange, flight in her true form and can magically force people to do as she says. Her soul seems to be far older than seven years; approximately 5,000 in fact.

They see Requiem and walk up to her. "Hello. My name is Harry, and this is my daughter Natalie. We are here for fun and good things. What's your name?" The girl on Dam'Bul's shoulders winks, her eye changing pearlescent white for a brief moment.

[horngeek]

Daisuke is around!

If Requiem goes anywhere near her, she'll sense that his soul is powerful.

Very powerful.

But that's not why he's here. He sees Cerise. Hello again.

[Je dit Viola]

Near the Main Cabin Lodge, waiting for GLoG Members

She smiles to herself, seeing them approach. "Hello Harry. Your daughter's really cute. My name's Requiem, and I'm here to help some of the members here with some pests."

Requiem shrugs. Pests are a good thing to get rid of, usually. Even when the 'pests' are actually people.


...And she doesn't sense souls. She eats them. Om nom nom. That's a really delicious soul you have, Daisuke, can I have some more? [/joking]

[Lord Iames Osari]

[Near or In the Main Lodge]

"Hello, Daisuke. Would I be correct in my assumption that you hold a position of leadership here at GLoG?"

[horngeek]

Yes. At the moment, I'm acting President.

[Earl of Purple]

By the Main Lodge

"Thank you Requiem. That's a funny name; why are you called that?" 'Natalie' seems genuinely curious. There's also no compulsion to tell the truth; if Requiem wants to lie, she can.

[Lord Iames Osari]

"Good." Cerise smiles. "I've been asked to deliver this on behalf of the Ambassador."

She hands him a copy of the invitation.

We Await Your Response With Anticipation

from
His Excellency the Ambassador Extraordinary & Plenipotentiary, Surely-Refulgent Anshu

[Je dit Viola]

In front of the Main Lodge

"I'm called 'Requiem' because my parents always thought I would become a musician. My older brother, they liked better," she says, some backstory bleeding through. It is the truth, by the way.

[horngeek]

Daisuke nods. Thank you. I'll be sure to be there, then.

[Earl of Purple]

By the Main Lodge

Natalie/Nephrim nods. "Do you like Mr. Huggs? I've had him for ages." Mr. Huggs, apparantly, is the teddy bear. As most children do, Natalie/Nephrim seems to have forgotten the previous question. In reality, it has been filed away for future use in a mental file marked 'Leverage', in the 'R' section. Not sure how it will be used, but I'm not a demon. "Do you know anybody here?"

[Lord Iames Osari]

"You're permitted to bring along a reasonable number of others, as well. Bodyguards, an advisor or two, a date... It's an invitation to GLoG as an organization, not you personally."

[Je dit Viola]

By the Main Lodge

"Mr Huggs is very..." She searches for a word, but can't find one. "Very teddybearish."

However, for the real question, she shakes her head. "Not quite. I've met a couple people, but not for very long."

[horngeek]

Daisuke nods. I'll probably put it up on the noticeboard and see who else wants to come.

[Earl of Purple]

By the Main Lodge

"Have you joined, or are you visiting?"
"Look! A butterfly!" Seems like Natalie/Nephrim is rather absentminded and easily distracted.

[Je dit Viola]

By the Main Lodge

"No." She shakes her head, and ignores the butterfly. "I haven't joined, so that means I'm just visiting."

Though, given the amount of time she has recently spent deadtimed here, you might think she was a member.

[Earl of Purple]

By the Main Lodge

"Do you know what's involved in joining? Any mental, physical or emotional tests?" Because if a challenge is faced, it is better to know what kind of challenge it is. Natalie/Nephrim seems to have distracted herself from the butterfly with the conversation, so she's now listening attentively.

[Je dit Viola]

By the Main Lodge

"From what I've heard, they used to do magical tests, or something like that, but no longer. I think all you have to do now is find a member in a leadership position and convince them that you're either willing to help others redeem, or are trying to redeem yourself." Given the detail she went into, I suppose she's trying to hint at something. Maybe "Get redeemed" or maybe "Lie really good" or "Kill a member and pretend to be them".

One of those three, the listener could interpret either of the three answers.

[Earl of Purple]

By the Main Lodge

Natalie/Nephrim seems to be mouthing something. It seems to be 'Don't worry, we're here to lie' or something along those lines. It seems doubtful that they could pretend to be members; Nephrim can't take adult forms and Dam'Bul has only the form of his host with giveaway red eyes and black hair.

((Alas, Deadtime. See you tomorrow))
