Grounds

"OK. I'll tell my tree to be careful with its leaves as well." Baccata's yew is more mobile than it should be, though it's not capable of moving on its own.

Baccata smiles gently, slightly apologetic that she didn't mention it sooner.

Grounds

"Thank you. I guess I really should have done better research when I wanted to move your tree. So, are there any plans you have if you do get free roam from your tree."

[Dinner - Justin Is Watching You!]

No juicy gossip? Aww! That's no fun! Well, this Baccata girl sounds like a very interesting person. Alyca will have to stop by and meet her one of these days! No reason not to when she lives just a short walk from her doorstep.

"A keeper and a keeper of secrets."

And anything shiny that he can get his hands on, it seems.

"But I don't know about that two-timer line of your's. You had how many of them rigged up to keep track of how long that chicken of your's had been in the oven?"

Oh gods, not the puns! Anything but the puns!

"And don't think I didn't notice your apron when I walked in here either. Was that an open invitation or was that meant for my eyes only."

Like her secret orders are!

He's not particularly disturbed by timer puns, but the apron comment is embarrassing. "That's just a traditional thing," Justin mumbles. "Y'know it's... an expression, like 'my compliments to the chef.' It's not compulsory or anything."

[Reinholdt]

Just as Planned

*purr purr*
"Aside from being chastised for messing with Magtok a little? Not much. Having clones does wonders for freeing up your schedule. Perhaps a bit too much..." If there's something to do, Rein's already on it! It'd be maddening, but there's nothing left of Rein to madden, so that's not really true. "Just catching up around here I guess. You?"

[FireFox]

Just as Planned

I've got a few projects going, mostly academic... But honestly, I'm getting pretty bored. Toby sighs at the whole idea of a quiet family life.

[Reinholdt]

He's a sarcastic psychotic Cat. He's a sarcastic psychotic Fox

"We should go fight crime together!"
...
"No wait. We already kinda do that. Ummm... I got nothing." He can't even suggest drinking either.

[GrandDM]

(("Hey, what's up? Nothing much. How about a guy just got snatched right under your nose?!))

[Reinholdt]

There used to be forms...

Main Cabin Roof

Well.
That was a thing.
Maybe it was all just some hallucination of Reinholdt's fragmented mind. Wouldn't be the first time.
Heck if he could do anything about it now anyways if it wasn't.

Rein goes back to sleep.

I replied to that back here GrandDM.
Believe it or not, just about everyone here has no way to trace random tele-kidnappings, particularly of people you don't know. There's literally nothing to be done, except maybe bring up teleportation blockers for the camp. And Rein's not entirely convinced that entire scene wasn't a figment of his imagination/hallicination/dream.

Plus this other scene was technically already going first, so my personal handling of plot clones/regular clones usually means that it's happening first in the timeline.

Either way, it's not getting mentioned.

[FireFox]

Hold on, I'm pitching that idea to Disney. The Fox and the Hound meets Lethal Weapon.

No, no, back up boyo. The Druid's face lights up. When was the last time we did something like that? Our last adventure didn't have nearly enough action, just a bunch of talking that seemed like it didn't go anywhere.

[Morcleon]

[Infirmary +]

I don't think it can be taught to people who are bad at learning, Miss. The boy replies seriously.

[Infirmary +]

Sayuri blinks and narrows her eyes at Kevin. "Heey... are you trying to imply that I'm bad at learning...?"

[Morty]

[Jamie and Kevin and Friends]

Brinika giggles.

"I'm not crowding anyone! I'd have to walk on stilts to do that."

[Recaiden]

[Path up to Main Cabin]

A person is walking, limping slightly, favoring their right side, along the way to GLoG. They're wearing a bright red hooded cloak, which they have pulled tight around them. Maybe they're cold. They're looking around as they go, a little nervous.

Doggie! Kill it or run!

"I'm pretty sure it was when we broke Tony out of jail to turn Wenomir human. I beguiled/talked into/tricked/logically argued/threatened/manipulated/beat up/convinced/cheated/debated with Histor and/or convinced him to let Tony off the hook/wrote in his book of laws giving Tony immunity/stole his power for my own/got him a date with Ponera."

"Nothing since then, no."

[Lex-Kat]

[Infirmary +]

I don't think it can be taught to people who are bad at learning, Miss. The boy replies seriously.

Sayuri blinks and narrows her eyes at Kevin. "Heey... are you trying to imply that I'm bad at learning...?"

Pearl looks at Kevin, shocked that he'd accuse Sayuri of such a thing. That's not true. Sayuri is really smart. She knows how to swim, and make tea. And many other things. she nods her head sharply, as if that should end that.

[Snatchin' Doctors!] & the [Path up to Main Cabin]

*Crackle!*

A thing teleports into the camp for about half a second, before a figure in a cloak attempts to grab Doctor Harald, bike and all, and teleport again to the Frozen Hermitage as fast as possible. No speech, he knew they had good protectors here.

*Crackle!*

The bike is gone, Harald sent it back. Being a scientist, Harald is unable to resist, and is abducted to the Frozen Hemitage.

His form and pen fall to the ground.

To Outside!

A person is walking, limping slightly, favoring their right side, along the way to GLoG. They're wearing a bright red hooded cloak, which they have pulled tight around them. Maybe they're cold. They're looking around as they go, a little nervous.

The old GloG Drone flies up to the new person it's never met before. Welcome to the Good League of Good. May I escort you to the infirmary? Bzzzt! It picks up the form and pen on the ground.

[Recaiden]

The old GloG Drone flies up to the new person it's never met before. Welcome to the Good League of Good. May I escort you to the infirmary? Bzzzt! It picks up the form and pen on the ground.

"So I am in the right place. Yes, it couldn't hurt. What are you?" The person looks down at the form as it's picked up. Does that have writing on it? She is so not up to reading things at the moment.

[The Alexandrian]

[Dinner]

Alyca giggles mirthfully! She's having lots of fun playfully teasing Justin tonight!

"If only it were compulsory..."

She flashes Justin a coy smirk and a flirtatious wink.

"And I've never in all my years heard someone say 'my compliments to the chef' before. Why would I do that when I could be more specific, telling the chef he's kind, smart, and devilishly handsome."

And there goes another spoonful of soup!

[Lex-Kat]

"So I am in the right place. Yes, it couldn't hurt. What are you?" The person looks down at the form as it's picked up. Does that have writing on it? She is so not up to reading things at the moment.

Querry: Is the Good League of Good the "right place"? bzzzt.

The drone floats up a little higher. I am the last of the Drones from the original Good League of Good base. Would you like some cake? a panel opens near the bottom and a piece of white cake with chocolate frosting is presented. It looks delicious and smells freshly baked.

The form does indeed have some writing on it. But's it's not presented for her to read.

"Uh..."
"Response: It is the right place." The person leans down to look at the cake, and then shakes their head, no.

"No cake please." They clearly find this offering of baked goods more than a little strange.

[FireFox]

[Infirmary +]

Kevin looks thoroughly confused. Wait, what? When did we start talking about you? She asked if anyone could learn Druidic magic and he replied, to the best of his knowledge, that people who aren't good at learning probably can't learn Druidic magic. Why are girls so confusing!? Do you want to learn it? I think you should talk to Jamie's pa.


If Tony were an animal, he'd probably be a hound.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Not nearly enough action. The Druid scratches at his chin. So do we want to go beat up some bad guys or do a dungeon crawl for treasure?

[Lex-Kat]

"Uh..."
"Response: It is the right place." The person leans down to look at the cake, and then shakes their head, no.

"No cake please." They clearly find this offering of baked goods more than a little strange.

Somehow, even without any facial features to speak of, the drone looks saddened, and puts the cake away. This way, please. Bzzzt! And it slowly begins to float toward the infirmary.

[Reinholdt]

"Well... treasure's always a preferred choice. I've heard the human supremacist group is starting to roll around again. Need to look into spying on them, but I think I'm too discernible." What with the pink eyes in human form and all. "Got a dungeon in mind? Someplace here or your world? Ohhhhh..."
Uh-oh.
"We should raid your world's god/goddess' of greed's lair and take all their stuff."

[FireFox]

Godslaying 101

No, that's a really, really bad idea. Toby stares at Reinholdt in shock. You don't mess with a deity on their own plane or divine realm. They know everything that goes on and can alter the place as easy as thinking. The two of us could definitely take on Pleonexia's avatar, which kind of resembles Gygax's Tiamat by the way, in the mortal world but we would have a hell of a time in her realm. It's like... making a voodoo doll and handing it to a houngan before trying to rob him. What Toby's trying to get at, is that its way too dangerous to try as a lark. We could break into one of her vaults in the mortal realm, if you really want to piss her off, but I'd rather find something here.

[Morcleon]

[Infirmary +]

[Infirmary +]

"...oh." Sayuri blinks and looks away in embarrassment. "Eh, nevermind. Sorry for accusing you of that. And don't worry about it, Pearl. Thanks though." She giggles and hugs the onion-girl.

"But... I'm not sure I'd be the best for learning Druidic magic... Why? Oh, it's... complicated..." Having two separate souls inside one body makes most "normal" magic quite annoying to manage.

[The Bushranger]

[Jamie and Kevin and Friends]

Kevin waves to Abigail, then shyly steps back. He's beginning to realize he is dangerously outnumbered. Why are there so many girls here!?

Abigail laughed. "I suppose we should... although I think we might be crowding Kevin a bit."

Brinika giggles.

"I'm not crowding anyone! I'd have to walk on stilts to do that."

"...oh." And now Mikani looks a little sheepish, as she shifts back into Jamie with little muss or fuss, and a lot less magical fanfare. "Um, we can give you room, if you want?" she asks Kevin, blushing a bit.


[Kitchen]

And in the kitchen there's yet another goblin. A rather plump, brown-skinned goblin lady with some family resemblance to Reelshka. Some may recognize her as Reelshka's sister and Brinika's mother. She's preparing some food for her sister.

The red-haired Exalt who steps into the kitchen is, likely, not one of those some. "Oh, pardon me, I didn't know there was somebody here," Shrike says apologetically as she heads for the pantry. She's probably looking for Scooby Snacks.

[Morty]

[Kitchen]

"Oh, don't mind me," the goblin lady says warmly. "I'm just preparing some food for my sister."

[The Bushranger]

[Kitchen]

That earns a second look from the Solar, who then chuckles.
"Ah. You'd be Reelshka's sister, I take it then. I can see the family resemblance." Clearly, since this isn't Tobias she's talking to, Shrike can actually be civil! And she offers a hand. "Shrike of Swiftly Striking Talons," she introduces herself.

[Morty]

[Kitchen]

Reelshka's sister shakes Shrike's extended hand.

"Ah, yes. One of the other Council members. My sister told me about you. My name's Tralka, by the way. I'm here to make sure Reelshka is eating properly while she's pregnant."

[Reinholdt]

Godslaying 201

Reinholdt finally gets around to shifting into human form, done pouncing for the time being.
"So we just make her want us to take her stuff. It'd take some planning but... well alright. We'll just find something here. Someplace in mind, or stalk the taverns until something comes up?"

*brrrrng*
"Uh... one second." Reinholdt pulls out his phone and steps away just a bit. "Yes?
...
You have? Go ahead then.
...
That's.. are you sure?
...
No.
I know.
...
Thank you. I'll let you know soon." Rein hangs up.

[The Bushranger]

[Kitchen]

Reelshka's sister shakes Shrike's extended hand.

"Ah, yes. One of the other Council members. My sister told me about you. My name's Tralka, by the way. I'm here to make sure Reelshka is eating properly while she's pregnant."

"Hopefully she told only the good things," Shrike observes with a smirk. "And I guess that is important, isn't it?" After all, she wouldn't know...

[FireFox]

[Infirmary +]

Well, my Druidic magic doesn't require the user to have a soul, just understanding. Technically speaking, Tobias' soul is... fractured.
Uh... Okay then. Should we go find Jamie now?


[Jamie and Kevin and Friends]

I, uh, that's all right. I think I should go talk to Toby about getting trained. Kevin takes another step back.


Godslaying "Is there anything I can do for extra credit, Professor?"

Toby continues to pet Rein's head until he moves away. He raises an eyebrow at the phone call, but doesn't say anything or even try to eavesdrop. It's been awhile since I was at a tavern...

[Lex-Kat]

[Infirmary +]

Kevin looks thoroughly confused. Wait, what? When did we start talking about you?

"But... I'm not sure I'd be the best for learning Druidic magic... Why? Oh, it's... complicated..." Having two separate souls inside one body makes most "normal" magic quite annoying to manage.

The guy who likes to burn things? Why would she wanna talk to him? Pearl asks from the hugging arms of Sayuri.

[Reinholdt]

And not a single question was given that day

The curiosity would kill me.

As Reinholdt pockets his phone, Tobias might notice some trembling there. But the hand's now firmly in the pocket and staying there. "Bound to be something interesting at one of them. Trog's, BDD, Dancing Fox, or other?"
