[Nexus] The Dancing Fox Inn II: Title, Title, Who's Got The Title?

[Mee]

Marleys chains will attempt to wrap themselves around both of the taverngoers while hes ranting "Your on the brink,its written here in BLOOD-RED INK, ITS NOT TOO LATE TO BIND HIS FATE OR YOU'LL BE WEARING SOMETHING MORE THAN -TWICE-THIS WEIGHT. Link by link, coin by coin, stab by HORRIFYING STAB!

"I hate ghosts."
Naku mutters, avoiding the chains.

((Though the attempt was good. Thank you very much. ))

[The Bushranger]

Eileen, being a Favored Soul and a chosen of the gods, cannot be bound against her will!
"Pleasure to meet you. I'd offer a proton pack, but I left it two universes back..."

[Mee]

"Pleasure to meet you. I'd offer a proton pack, but I left it two universes back..."

"Heh.
Thank you, but we'll see how it goes first."

Anyway, then Naku's player need sleep.
G'night.

[Hattish Thing]

His chains multiply and continue their grasping "Hes coming for you, but there is hope, seal the chest, right the wrong!OR YOU'LL END UP JUST LIKE ME! Your times not up! Its not too late! YOU CANNOT AVOID THE CHAINS OF FATE!You have been marked you will be found!AND WHEN YOU ARE THE STREETS OF HELL WILL RUN WITH BLOOD!I AM LONG GONE! I cant stop him! You must seal the gate and chest Or BE RUN AGROUND LINK BY LINK!

[Mindfreak]

"Heh.
Thank you, but we'll see how it goes first."

Anyway, then Naku's player need sleep.
G'night.

Clop clop clop clop.
Naku may feel something 3 feet tall prodding her side to get her attention!
"Are you okay, Naku? You passed out for a minute..."
His job could be in jeopardy! He needs to know!

[Lady Serpentine]

A while later, long enough for the mouth-watering aroma of frying batter to seep out of the kitchen and into the main area, Strahd pokes his head out of the door to snap at the nearest waiter. "Hey, uhh, turnsh out I kinda need your help after all." He says, looking distinctly annoyed about having to ask for help.

Fear happens to be nearby, and grins wickedly at the request.

"Oh? Alright, what do you need me to do?"

[ThirdEmperor]

"W-what elshe? Carry the food to the cushtomer. I shorta out did myshelf on the lasht order, can't even lift the platesh." Strahd says, disappearing back into the kitchen.

[Lady Serpentine]

Fear blinks, rather surprised that he can't lift the plates, and waves War and Weary over before heading into the kitchen after him.

[The Alexandrian]

Trium certainly won't stop her from doing so, and, in fact, seems quite pleased about it. And this only counts as tipsy?

"That sounds good to me... Do you have someplace in mind?"

Yes. This counts as tipsy for Spec, albeit incredibly tipsy.

Spec giggles mirthfully. She doesn't have any place in particular in mind. Just somewhere that isn't too public.

"I just arrived here earlier today and you want me to handle the logistics of this operation? You name the place. I don't know this city at all."

[Lady Serpentine]

*blink, blink* Oh my. Well. Possibly it's a good thing that they're leaving, if her intent was to get fully drunk.

Trium smiles, and thinks for a bit, going through the list of places that she has acess to which aren't public.

"Do you have any objections to going off this city? To another planet, even?"

[Hattish Thing]

The chain covered figure that is Marley whips his chains that are made up of hundreds of dark hellish links attempting to grapple everyone. 4 out of 5 chest open and spectres fly out in a hail of ghostly gold and platinum peices. The ghost form a half circle with Marley and chant"Link by link, my chain was getting longer!Link by link no way to make it shrink! Link by link, JUST LISTEN TO THEM CLINK! The ghost rattle their chains.Link by link, YOUR CHAIN IS GETTING LONGER LINK BY LINK AND SOONER THAN YOU THINK!The other ghosts chant while hes speaking "Link by link by link by link by link by link by link BY HORRIFYING LINK!"

[Chezmarine]

"So what brings you here, anyway?"
Naku asks, ignoring the raging ghost.



Though she does make a mental note that if he's haunting the inn now, she's going to hire a Ghostbuster.

Chez is Packing a Proton Pack, and if need be, He knows how to Use it. Horray for Chez and his Infinite Supply of Fictional Weapons.

"CmdSgt. Cheazie Blackpaw Racatran at your service." He says, grunting.

"I see you have a Ghost Problem."

[Hattish Thing]

Listen to me! Marley pleads.

[Hattish Thing]

Listen to me! Marley pleads.

[Chezmarine]

Chez shrugs his Broad shoulders.

"For me, Death is nothing but a Temporary Inconvenience." He says.

"There is no Light at the End of the Tunnel... Only The Screen. Death is Simply nothing but a Black Screen. A screen that says..."

"... Press Space to Respawn."

[The Alexandrian]

Spec uses "Trium and Spec are in a different timeline due to Spec's player's affinity for things that rhyme with grail's grace" to render void the chain grappling attempt on Spec and Trium!

Yep! No one ever should have to see a drunken Spec. It's atrocious and terrifying! Fortunately, she never can be hungover thanks to that device wired into her arm. It administers an IV solution to nullify the after-effects of alcohol consumption for Spec while she rests.

"Another planet? Why, that would be fantastic, provided that the oxygen levels of the atmosphere and gravity are at the livable levels. You already take my breath away. I don't need the air doing the same thing. And increased gravity might be hazardous to our health...among other things...depending on its magnitude."

[Lady Serpentine]

"The air is fine; I'm not going to take you somewhere you can't breathe. And the gravity is around a quarter the norm. So off to Fall?"

On the moon itself, anyway. Two of its near neighbors have significantly increased gravity. But I think Spec, even tipsy, is still smart enough not to ask to go the gas giants.

[The Alexandrian]

"Can we stop by some gas giants on the way there? Please? Pretty, pretty please?"

"Sure. Any reason why the world is named Fall? Do people not tie their shoelaces there? Are the trees always red and orange?"

Are the trees always red and orange? Sheesh! Spec must be starting to feel more of the effects of the alcohol!

Anyways, off to Fall they go?

[Hattish Thing]

I can explain appearence! The clock is ticking.Marley says while the ghosts echo:Link by HELLISH LINK!

[Lady Serpentine]

Well, Trium does know a spell for that, if she really wants to go...

"Ruuk'tlan mkelos. Nomithaer dukai. Yiyolim traemniir."

And, with that, they very likely are taken to Sparrow's Fall, The World of Eight Moons, where Spec's question will be answered.

[Mee]

Clop clop clop clop.
Naku may feel something 3 feet tall prodding her side to get her attention!
"Are you okay, Naku? You passed out for a minute..."
His job could be in jeopardy! He needs to know!

"I know, I'm sorry . . .

I hadn't done something like that before."
She says, chuckling quietly.
"It was . . . more tiring than I thought.
Which is impressive, as I don't get tired."
Naku says with a smile, while reaching over to pet Songdancer's head.

[Hattish Thing]

I require assistance, mortals. Save me! His chains stop grappling as he awaits the answer.

[Mee]

I require assistance, mortals. Save me! His chains stop grappling as he awaits the answer.

"And why should we help you?"
Naku asks, out of patience for this entire series of events.
"You invaded my home, broke at least two windows, several classes, and are now demanding, not asking, but demanding help.
And your only motivation for us to help, is that Fate itself will smite us painfully.
So why should we listen to you?"

[Hattish Thing]

Self preservation for one thing. He threatens. The temperature drops to negatives.

[Mee]

Self preservation for one thing. He threatens. The temperature drops to negatives.

"Uh huh.
Which means no, you don't have any motivation for us."
Naku says, utterly unaffected by the cold.
Not only a vampire, but she's a northerner.
"Besides, you don't control Fate, and I seriously doubt that she has that much of a peeve with us."

[Hattish Thing]

He tries to grab you with a chain. The past will be rewound.MURDER!

[Mee]

He tries to grab you with a chain. The past will be rewound.MURDER!

Noep. Naku's darkness aura pushes the chains back.
"So now I'm a murder?
You sure are helping your case quite a bit."
She says cheerfully.

[Hattish Thing]

I WAS MURDERED FOOL. He shouts and a table cracks.

[Chezmarine]

Chez still has that Proton Pack.

Who you gonna Call?

Ray Parker Jr!!!

[Mindfreak]

"I know, I'm sorry . . .

I hadn't done something like that before."
She says, chuckling quietly.
"It was . . . more tiring than I thought.
Which is impressive, as I don't get tired."
Naku says with a smile, while reaching over to pet Songdancer's head.

He rubs up against her hand.
"As long as you're okay..."
He then stares at the ghost.
He frowns.
"Why has so many crazy things been happening here lately? First murder, then a crazy cleric of Pelor who wanted to destroy who you are, and now a ghost who wishes to murder everyone."
