WATCHTOWER 16: Quick and Dirty

Outside Watchtower

"Since it's polite to do so! We can't just barge in can we? We just have to wait until someone opens and then we'll look around. Next I think we go to GloG or something. They aren't all paranoid and stuff like these guys." Libra explains, not that it's going to make Kate any less confused.

"I already know my way around GLoG," Kate tells Libra. She figures it isn't a good idea to push the topic, it'll probably be easier to just play damage control.

[Morcleon]

[Garden]

"Just don't get to exited." Mia says with an annoyed face. Then she hit's the robot behind her, who suddendly starts to move right after it.

"Are you ready?"

[Garden]

With a sheepish smile, Yuki nods. "Alright then. Lead on."

And he will follow Mia!

[Zefir]

[Garden]

Mia will lead him to INSIDE. ((DMC 2.0 is the name tag))

"Because my personal life and my professional life were coming to a cataclysmic end. If we stayed at AMEN, Darcy almost certainly would have been killed for what she did. If we left, we'd have a rash of angry AMENites on us for the rest of our lives. I didn't want either of those things for us. For you." Ilpholin says, reaching for Darcy's hand.

[Training Grounds]

Wenomir folds his hands across his chest. He thinks Ilpholin is overestimating both the AMENites' ability to harm them and their ability to focus on anything for more than five minutes. But he stays silent for now, as it's between Darcy and Ilpholin. He'll voice his own opinion later.

Darcy pulls Ilpholin's hand to her lips and kisses it. "I wish you'd talked to me first."

[Reinholdt]

"I'm sorry. I was still upset at the time so I... sorry."

[Morty]

[Training Grounds]

"There's one thing I'm curious about," Wenomir says. "How does this affect your... personality, for the lack of a better word? Are you and the other Ilpholin identical in that regard?"

[happyturtle]

Training Grounds

Darcy gives Ilphy's hand a squeeze and listens.

[Reinholdt]

Training Grounds

Do you really have to ask Wenomir? With the umms and sorries? When has Ilpholin ever apologized for anything?

"Umm... I don't think so. If she was, I'd be here, fighting myself for Darcy."

[Morty]

[Training Grounds]

Wenomir nods. That's true. This Ilpholin is more meek than he's used to as well.
"Fair enough. It's good to have you both back."

[Murkus]

Spyridon nods and takes out his spellbook to refresh himself on the rituals to conjure up certain undead for combat. It's just something to do while they wait for one of the leaders of Watchtower to get back to them.

A message comes back.

Adir hits '2', as they could probably marshal this mission themselves if it's necessary. The oracles are, however, extremely potent in combat, and it'd best to report such findings to a superior officer. That's how his old commander Jon would've done things, and Adir has yet to err from his crotchety mentor's ways.

[Reinholdt]

[Training Grounds]

"Thank you. It's good to be back. Has anything changed I should know about?" Primarily, is her room still her room, despite the complete lack of stuff in it prior?

[Darkcomet]

You have sent '2'. Please input the details of the problem, and they will be forwarded in a timely manner.

Presumably '1' would've granted more immediate contact.

"If Ilpholin moves into the room next to mine, can we have a door put in between the rooms? Make it a bit of a suite?" Darcy asks.

[Morty]

[Training Grounds]

"Cessie is one of the leaders now, if you haven't heard about it yet," Wenomir tells Ilpholin, then shrugs when Darcy ask her question. "I don't see why not."

[Observatory]

"We have a few airships," Wenomir says. "We'll use one of them." He then sends a message to KR:

I and two other people need to be dropped off in Outside quickly.

[Ashen Lilies]

[Observatory/Airship Hangar]

Alright. Give me 15 minutes prep time.

The message comes zinging back.

In fifteen minutes, if they head over, they'll see KR there in black tee and jeans finishing up the preparation for the airship to launch.

"I wish I had the smaller one done already. It's easier to prepare and less obvious." She comments, meeting Wenomir at the door to the Airship hanger whenever it is he arrives. Not necessarily next post, or anything.

Spyridon continues reading his spell book. If he hadn't been away for so long, and knew a bit more about the organization here, perhaps he would be concerned that all four leaders of Watchtower were so busy.

"Really?" Ilpholin beams. "Well good for her. She deserves it."

She wishes she thought of the suite idea. Now they can talk in one room and make out in the other.

[happyturtle]

Training Grounds

As if they aren't going to snog in the sitting room?

"Great. I guess we'll just hire the same dwarves that did the rest of the base." Handwaved, presumably. "Do you have anything to move, Ilpholin?"

[Reinholdt]

Training Grounds

Watch is doooomed. It needs to get back up to its snogging and curtain quotient that it was at when Ilphy and Sakura were here.

"Not really. I took it all to AMEN, then left it all there. You know... this sounds like a really good reason to go shopping! You want to come Wenomir?". Any reason is a good reason to go shopping.

[Morty]

[Training Grounds]

"Thanks, but I think I'll pass," Wenomir says. "I need to figure out how to operate those rocket boots," he points at the silvery boots on his feet.

"Since it's polite to do so! We can't just barge in can we? We just have to wait until someone opens and then we'll look around. Next I think we go to GloG or something. They aren't all paranoid and stuff like these guys." Libra explains, not that it's going to make Kate any less confused.

"I already know my way around GLoG," Kate tells Libra. She figures it isn't a good idea to push the topic, it'll probably be easier to just play damage control.

[Outside Watchtower]

Sakura makes her way toward the door. She wasn't sure it was the best for her to be answering the door, but it looks like other people are busy. She just happens to be here picking up something, though, so why not? At least she can direct them toward someone before she leaves again.

The door swings open to reveal the dryad standing on the other side. She's holding baby Laela at her hip. She looks a bit surprised to see a young woman and a child at the door, though. Not Watch's usual visitors. "Hello, can I help you?" She asks with a warm smile.

[happyturtle]

Training Grounds

"I guess it's just us then, love," Darcy says to Ilphy.

Shopping ahoy! (to be roleplayed or handwaved?)

[Lost_Deep]

Outside Watchtower

"I'm not sure what she wants." Kate looks down at Libra. "I've been trying to figure it out for a bit now, and her logic escapes me."

[Shadowcaller]

Outside Watchtower

"Hey! I said what I wanted!" Libra insists right in front of Sakura. "We're going to see the nexus, but we're going to be polite about it!"

She turns to the dryad with the most adorable smile and waves at her. "Hello miss! Can me and my friend have a look around?! I heard Watchtower is supposed to be super cool!"

[Gullara]

[Outside Watchtower]

"Oh, well I think i can show you around a little bit." Sakura says with a big smile for the little girl. "Let's start outside first. What are your names? I'm Sakura, and this is Laela." She steps out of the door fully and pushes it closed behind her.

[Shadowcaller]

[Outside Watchtower]

Before Kate can even open her mouth Libra speaks up. "I'm Leah and this is my best friend ever, Gertrude! Look!" She holds up a necklace which clearly have been around her neck the whole time with the half of a heart with the initials G.T. carved into it. Kate will suddenly have the other half of the heart with the initials L.A. carved into it.

"We're best friend forever!" Libra beams before turning to look at Laela. "Ohmygod! She's soooo cute!" She quickly goes up to the baby and dangles her finger above her to grab. "Gotchigo!"

[Reinholdt]

[Training Grounds]

"Thanks, but I think I'll pass," Wenomir says. "I need to figure out how to operate those rocket boots," he points at the silvery boots on his feet.

Expensive looking. Ilpholin eyes them over a little, but dismisses them. They need to be painted or something.

Training Grounds

"I guess it's just us then, love," Darcy says to Ilphy.

Shopping ahoy! (to be roleplayed or handwaved?)

Either one. RPed if you think there's something interesting to be had there. Handwaved if you'd rather cut your scenes down. Ilpholin's mostly going to be buying dresses and other clothes and maybe bed sheets.

[Lost_Deep]

Outside Watchtower

Kate looks at Libra in utter befuddlement.

She has no idea how to respond to that.

[Gullara]

[Outside Watchtower => Tour]

Sakura giggles at the little girl's antics. Laela it's the only cute one around. "She is, isn't she. I think she likes you." True to Sakura's word, Laela laughs and grabs hold of Leah's fingers and pulls at them.
