Conversation with #dkap_amber at 8/18/2009 8:42:27 PM on Cagliostro@irc.gamesurge.net (irc) (8:42:27 PM) Cagliostro: so we have a pwned werewolf bleeding out (8:42:30 PM) Cagliostro: and some salivating vampires (8:42:33 PM) Cagliostro: and a full chalice (8:42:45 PM) dkap: So, when last we left our ... umm ... motley crew of rescuees. (8:43:06 PM) Cagliostro: and a nostril of nosferatu (8:43:58 PM) dkap: nostril? (8:44:05 PM) dkap: Posse I'd say. (8:45:14 PM) Caelin: home now. back on in 5 (8:45:47 PM) Spot: There was a bit of a showdown (8:46:51 PM) Cagliostro: and spot is encouraging the werewolf to find a new level of regeneration (8:47:25 PM) Spot: I'm weeding out the stupid ones, let's be honest. (8:48:14 PM) Caelin left the room (quit: Ping timeout). (8:48:32 PM) dkap: Well ... he's looking very weeded at the moment. Unfortunately, you now have the attention of all the surrounding vamps, Including the Nos Posse. (8:48:44 PM) dkap: Nos Posse. That sounds like we are back to band-names again. (8:48:45 PM) dkap: Woot! (8:49:02 PM) Cagliostro: Nos Posse can open up for Prosthetic Yeti (8:50:30 PM) dkap: Indeed. (8:50:34 PM) dkap: And Caelin missed it. (8:50:35 PM) dkap: *grin* (8:50:41 PM) dkap: He'll see it in the logs, though, probably. (8:51:23 PM) dkap: Delna, I believe you are holding the Chalice of Blood in your hand, to distract the thirsty Nos. (8:51:55 PM) Delna: yes, I was (8:52:05 PM) dkap: Are you doing anything else about the Vamps who are no longer fleeing Deathwalker, and are now focusing on the living blood bags that are those who were their enemy for so long? (8:52:07 PM) Delna: awaiting what peril I may have gotten myself into (8:53:40 PM) Caelin [~arkhonii@m4a0536d0.tmodns.net] entered the room. (8:53:49 PM) Delna: At the moment waiting to see what the one I am currently offering blood to is going to do (8:54:06 PM) Caelin: And for whatever reaon I can only connect on my phone. (8:54:07 PM) dkap: Got it. (8:54:14 PM) dkap: Bizarre. (8:54:35 PM) dkap: Caelin, you missed the new band name. Nos Posse. They are going to open for Prosthetic Yeti. (8:56:00 PM) Caelin: *snort* You win again. (8:56:54 PM) dkap: I figured it was in revenge for the emoticon you shared. (8:59:19 PM) dkap: Did everyone see his ... abomination? (9:00:32 PM) Cagliostro: I did, actually. (9:00:47 PM) dkap: Right then. Delna, the Nos who is salivating looks at the cup "That's much to pretty for me to sully with my touch." The Porcu-nos: "It's her cup, she's offering, are you going to insult her by not drinking?" Salivating Nos: "I guess not." And he drinks. (9:01:58 PM) Delna: "Thank you" (9:02:52 PM) dkap: The (no longer) salivating nos mumbles something that sounds somewhat grateful, and backs away. (9:03:16 PM) dkap: But now there is a solid wall of other Vamps moving in on your position. (9:03:19 PM) Delna: how many others are looking like they are going to ruin our peace attempts (9:03:26 PM) Delna: yeah, that (9:03:28 PM) Delna: s what I figured (9:03:29 PM) dkap: On the order of 50. (9:03:52 PM) ***Spot hmmmms. (9:04:00 PM) Delna: I had two ventrue with me didn't I? (9:06:19 PM) Spot: (dinner! brb) (9:06:38 PM) dkap: Three. (9:07:28 PM) Spot_ [~chatzilla@c-71-233-204-173.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room. (9:08:26 PM) Delna: I glance to them briefly. "Can you put any order to this fleet headed our way?" (9:08:49 PM) Delna: Any change from the wolves? (9:09:19 PM) Spot left the room (quit: Ping timeout). (9:09:25 PM) Spot_ is now known as Spot (9:09:47 PM) Meiglan [~chatzilla@72.170.197.76] entered the room. (9:10:27 PM) dkap: Delna: The three of them look at the blood fountain, at you, back at the fountain, at the faces, and back at you. (9:10:59 PM) dkap: Ventrue: Umm ... probably not? We could try though. Staunching the b.b.b.blood would probably go a long way. (9:12:38 PM) ***Spot sighs. (9:13:10 PM) Spot: I'll try healing the idiot. (9:14:06 PM) Meiglan: Yeah, but we still have a hungry mob to feed. I don't suppose that cup of yours can do more? (9:14:09 PM) Spot: (That was to Dkap) (9:14:12 PM) dkap: Count Cagliostro: Your daughter asks if you have any advice on healing from a distance, in a subtle fashion, without being detected. (9:14:59 PM) Cagliostro: hm. does anything come to mind? (9:15:15 PM) Cagliostro: it strikes me as the sort of thing that isn't terribly easy to learn quickly. (9:15:35 PM) Cagliostro: although you can use a ward to staunch blood flow, if done carefully. that's not terribly subtle, though. (9:16:29 PM) dkap: She thanks you, and thinks a ward would be just about right. (9:16:42 PM) Cagliostro: point out the parable of the flood and the helicopter (9:16:48 PM) Cagliostro: sometimes obvious is subtle (9:17:13 PM) dkap: Spot, your efforts at healing seem mixed. You don't feel that flow of magic, but the blood stops flowing. (9:17:22 PM) Delna: To Meiglan: "If we can find something I can pour the..blood.. into..." (9:17:54 PM) Spot: stopped as in something worked? Or he died? (9:19:12 PM) dkap: No, there is still blood in him, and he's still trying to heal, but, he's no longer femorially fountaning. (9:20:31 PM) Spot: All right, you, surely you can handle it the rest of the way? (9:21:42 PM) dkap: Spot, was that to the Vamps? (9:21:56 PM) Spot: No to the idiot (9:22:00 PM) Spot: Sorry (9:22:06 PM) Spot: I'll try to be clearer (9:23:07 PM) ***Delna looks around for something to pool the blood from the cup (9:23:14 PM) Meiglan: "something to put the blood into..." Looking around for a convenient recepticle. (9:23:50 PM) dkap: One of the Nos offer up what looks like an old-fashioned shaving bowl, that she was using as a hat. (9:25:42 PM) Delna: "not quite the size I was hoping for...but anything will do right now." (9:26:25 PM) dkap: The skin on the pwned-idiot begins to knit. (9:26:46 PM) Spot: Finally. (9:27:23 PM) Delna: Are the hungry ones still approaching (9:27:26 PM) Delna: ? (9:27:57 PM) dkap: Not with the intensity they were, with the fountain going on, but they are, indeed, standing around a small, motley crew of their life-long enemy, yes. (9:28:14 PM) ***Spot keeps an eye on the hungry ones. (9:30:27 PM) Delna: Take the bowl from the Nos. "Drink" I say, and pour the contents into the bowl. (9:31:11 PM) dkap: The contents from the vulf? Or from the chalice? (9:31:32 PM) Delna: From the chalice, yes. sorry (9:31:33 PM) dkap: (Just making sure.) (9:33:04 PM) Delna: I keep repeating the magic word and pouring until the bowl is mostly full and pass it to the hungriest looking vamp near me (9:33:45 PM) Spot: have to swap comps, brb (9:33:48 PM) Spot left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.85 [Firefox 3.0.13/2009073022]). (9:33:55 PM) Delna: I look to one of the ventrue to ask that they have the bowl passed (I offer them to drink too) (9:34:17 PM) dkap: You manage to fill the bowl, and pass it to each. (9:34:28 PM) dkap: They seem to be calming down a mite. (9:35:19 PM) dkap: One of the Toreadore is muttering something about not wanting to drink from a vessel that had the bad taste to allow tattoos of _that_ nature ... (implying, of course, the pwned-idiot) (9:36:20 PM) Meiglan: "Shades of wine and fishes" Will make sure her clan mates have their turn. (9:36:41 PM) dkap: His companion nudges him and says something about him being as fascinated as the rest, mere moments before. (9:37:13 PM) dkap: Somewhere Jean is wondering about his loves and fishes power ... (9:38:34 PM) Spot [~chatzilla@c-71-233-204-173.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room. (9:39:01 PM) dkap: Well ... it's officially a game. Spot dropped ... *grin* (9:39:12 PM) dkap: Delna: I look to one of the ventrue to ask that they have the bowl passed (I offer them to drink too) (9:39:13 PM) Spot: Sowwy (9:39:21 PM) dkap: GM: You manage to fill the bowl, and pass it to each. (9:39:28 PM) dkap: GM: They seem to be calming down a mite. (9:39:38 PM) dkap: GM: One of the Toreadore is muttering something about not wanting to drink from a vessel that had the bad taste to allow tattoos of _that_ nature ... (implying, of course, the pwned-idiot) (9:39:45 PM) dkap: Meiglan: "Shades of wine and fishes" Will make sure her clan mates have their turn. (9:39:54 PM) dkap: GM: His companion nudges him and says something about him being as fascinated as the rest, mere moments before. (9:40:05 PM) dkap: GM: Somewhere Jean is wondering about his loves and fishes power . (9:40:58 PM) Delna: (as a note, I would have made sure the Nos drank, and would have offered them directly from the cup as the bowl was being passed..) (9:41:26 PM) dkap: Marking them as amongst your specials. Check. (9:41:32 PM) dkap: Same with the Ventru? (9:41:37 PM) Delna: yes (9:41:55 PM) dkap: Good good. (9:42:17 PM) Spot: Does the stupid one manage to stand up? (9:43:12 PM) dkap: One of the bigger vamps, possibly Giovani, says to the Ventru with a snarl: "So, now you're her lap-dog." (9:43:15 PM) Meiglan: Is NOS, will drink from stinky, smelly shoes if necessary. Probably has. (9:44:02 PM) dkap: Eric hops up on the Ventru's shoulder, twirling his wiskers: "You have a problem with lap-dogs?" (9:44:38 PM) ***Delna Delna thinks frustratedly about how she ever got into this mess in the first place (9:44:48 PM) dkap: The vamp snorts, and then, from seemingly nowhere Eric is picking his teeth with a large tooth-pick ... (9:45:00 PM) dkap: The vamp backs down. (9:45:12 PM) ***Spot laughs. (9:45:20 PM) dkap: Eric tucks the tooth-pick carefully behind the ear of the Ventru. (9:45:48 PM) dkap: Spot's laughter seems to break a lot of the tension. (9:48:32 PM) dkap: The vamps seem to relax and back off. (9:48:59 PM) Delna: Delna steps forward to address the wolves (9:49:09 PM) dkap: Some queueing up for a drink, and some for only a symbolic sip. (9:49:09 PM) Delna: Or rather, the wolf leader (9:49:26 PM) dkap: Red Leader, Red Leader. Stay On Target. (9:49:27 PM) dkap: Sorry. (9:50:14 PM) Delna: (confused..back to before the drinking was finished?) (9:50:51 PM) dkap: It's a starwars reference, it had nothing to do with game, hence my apology. (9:51:01 PM) dkap: Delna steps up to spot. (9:51:03 PM) ***Spot grins toothily. "Again, pretty?" (9:53:26 PM) Meiglan: Keeping an eye and ear on Spot and Delna. (9:53:56 PM) Delna: "We just went through a lot of trouble to make sure this didn't turn into a blood bath. Will you return us the same favor?" (9:55:24 PM) ***Spot narrows his eyes. "I didn't toss that one to your charming companions, pretty." Points at the stupid garou. (9:58:05 PM) Delna: "I appreciate that" (9:59:32 PM) Spot: "However, this is still where we were sent." (10:00:21 PM) Delna: "Who sent you, if I may ask?" (10:01:25 PM) Spot: GM: Do I have any idea? (10:02:07 PM) dkap: Mouseferatu. (10:02:17 PM) dkap: (Via Eagleton) (10:03:01 PM) Spot: Mouseferatu. (10:04:14 PM) ***Delna creases her eyebrows and glances to Eric (10:04:38 PM) dkap: (Mouseferatu is the one who's house you were in.) (10:07:19 PM) Spot: Problem with that, pretty? (10:08:19 PM) Delna: "I believe you must have been sent here by mistake. Can we call a truce long enough for us to find out why you ended up here?" (10:09:43 PM) Spot: GM: How many bloodsuckers again? (10:09:50 PM) Spot: GM: Vs. my wolves? (10:11:35 PM) dkap: Umm ... something like about a 100-1. One could call it a "target-rich environment". (10:11:52 PM) dkap: But the likelyhood of getting out alive ... especially with that dratted hamster on their side ... very small. (10:12:22 PM) Spot: Sure pretty. Take all the time you need. (10:14:55 PM) Delna: I nod. Go back to the ventrue to confer. (10:15:29 PM) ***Spot eyes the other garou to make sure no one has any funny ideas, as long as the hamsters around, at least. (10:16:31 PM) Delna: I tell them what is going on and what I want to do - find out why the wolves ended up here and send them where they should be without causing more bloodshed (10:16:58 PM) Delna: I assume they heard the conversation with the wolve (10:17:00 PM) Delna: s (10:17:36 PM) dkap: The Ventru mentions both the young lady who stayed behind to help with things, from the Count's party, and the mayor's radio. (10:17:41 PM) dkap: (Yes they have.) (10:21:15 PM) Delna: "Yes. While I contact them to find out what is going on, I need to make sure things don't fall apart here. Can you do something to make sure this truce lasts?" (10:21:52 PM) dkap: The Ventru being ridden by Eric says: "I think we can manage." (10:22:36 PM) Delna: "Good. And thank you again" (10:23:00 PM) Meiglan: Eavesdropping as much as possible. (10:23:08 PM) Spot: Likewisde (10:23:09 PM) Delna: "Eric, do you have any ideas about why they might have ended up here" (10:23:59 PM) dkap: Eric shrugs, which is interesting to watch in a hamster. (10:24:08 PM) dkap: (Yes both of you can hear, easily.) (10:26:45 PM) dkap: Delna, which do you go to first, Mistress Janice? Or the communicator? (10:27:39 PM) Delna: I'm not sure how to contact Mistress Janice, but she is who I would like to try first (10:27:56 PM) dkap: She should be around someplace, she said she would be. (10:28:02 PM) Delna: I think about her and hope that works (10:28:23 PM) dkap: Nope. (10:28:24 PM) Delna: I try to reach out to her with my mind.. (10:28:29 PM) Delna: damn (10:28:38 PM) dkap: Again, nope. (Amberites are not telepaths ...) (10:29:03 PM) Meiglan: GM: any names sound familiar, ring any bells? (10:29:53 PM) Delna: I use the cell phone to call the mayor then, because looking for her on foot would take too long (10:31:22 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice was the one who was helping settle things, from yesterday's visit. (10:31:59 PM) dkap: The Mayor answers on the first ring: "Good evening. I hope things are going well. Is there anything I can help with?" (10:34:28 PM) Delna: (Having retreated some from the crowd to talk) (10:35:02 PM) dkap: Indeed. (10:35:45 PM) Delna: (And not be overheard by everyone) (10:36:00 PM) dkap: Indeed. (10:36:45 PM) Delna: "Good Evening. There is something you can help with. A pack of garou just showed up on our doorstep. I believe they were sent here by mistake and need to find out where they were meant to go." (10:37:35 PM) dkap: Mayor: "Garou?" (10:38:11 PM) Delna: "Werewolves. natural enemies of my kind." (10:38:28 PM) Delna: "I'm sure you can imagine the urgency of this matter." (10:38:39 PM) dkap: Mayor: "Werewolves? We aren't set up for werewolves!" (10:38:55 PM) Delna: "I have currently negotiated a truce, but I'm not sure how long that will last before someone gets brave." (10:38:58 PM) dkap: Mayor: "There is _nothing_ in the information about werewolves!" (10:39:16 PM) Delna: "Exactly." (10:39:32 PM) dkap: Mayor: "I'm _allergic_ to wolves!" (10:39:36 PM) ***Spot resists the urge to howl, just for fun. (10:39:57 PM) ***Spot howls anyways. (10:40:03 PM) dkap: Delna, the mayor sounds like he's lost himself in a panic attack. (10:40:16 PM) dkap: Probably from the sound of the howl. (10:41:00 PM) Delna: "Mayor..Mayor, please. Listen. This is of great urgency. We have a truce with the wolves right now. But we need to figure this out." (10:41:53 PM) Delna: "I was told that mouseferatu sent them..can you find out how to send them where they need to go?" (10:42:00 PM) dkap: Something about "silver" and "fire" and other incoherent things coming back from the phone that has obviously, from the sound quality, been dropped on the desk or the floor. (10:42:34 PM) Delna: "Shit." (10:43:26 PM) Delna: Moves to Eric (phone still to ear to hear what is going on), "Eric, I need to speak to Mistress Janice. Do you know how I can find her? (10:43:46 PM) dkap: Eric holds up one hand, and gestures. (10:44:05 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice pops into being, in front of you, in a full warrior's bow. (10:44:21 PM) dkap: (Fist on ground, on one knee head raised. (10:44:31 PM) ***Delna Delna bows in return (10:45:18 PM) Delna: Mistress, I need your help. Will you talk with me over here?" gestures to a location away from the crowd (10:47:05 PM) dkap: There is a popping noise, and Delna and Mistress Janice disappear. (10:47:47 PM) dkap: Delna, you are now in a field of flowers (nightshade, possibly, but a night-blooming flower) with no visual connection to the rest of the group, anywhere. (10:47:47 PM) ***Spot watches the crowd of vamps. (10:48:53 PM) Delna: Wary for a moment, judging the Mistress's intent, a little unnerved (10:49:44 PM) Delna: If it seems I'm not in any danger here, I address her again (10:50:00 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: You wanted privacy, yes? (10:50:24 PM) Meiglan: Mistress Janice's appearance and disappearance with Delna is a big surprise. Watches both garou and vamps for signs of funny business. (10:50:26 PM) Delna: "Yes. This should do much better.. Thank you." (10:51:09 PM) Delna: "You saw the wolves there I assume?" (10:51:09 PM) dkap: The Vamps don't seem to be blaming the vulfs for this one. (10:51:36 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: "I did, I was the one who placed Eric where I thought he would do the most good. And handed him the tooth-pick." (10:52:24 PM) Delna: "Thank you again. Did you hear the rest of the situation then, with the mayor and all?" (10:53:12 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: "A bit. I think he's going to have issues." (10:53:30 PM) Delna: "..what kind of issues?" (10:55:00 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: "Well, if he starts hunting down any of my father's guests ... he might find himself reposted. To desert watch. At the 18 mile marker. (10:57:32 PM) Delna: "...I was afraid those were his intentions." (10:58:37 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: "Shall I find out where my father wanted them billited? Perhaps, even his presence might help?" (10:58:38 PM) Delna: "Is there a way for us to send the wolves out of here...there? I imagine it was a mistake for them to have been sent to our location.." (10:58:59 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: "As easily as we just went ... here." (10:59:14 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: 'We just need to know where the there is ..." (10:59:48 PM) Delna: "They said Mouseferatu sent them...I can't imagine why he would have done that though.." (11:02:05 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: "It might be a touch more indirect. Mouseferatu is of a specific type of people who are used to a higher level of individual mobility, than most folks. He probably just figured that "here was close enough". (11:03:08 PM) Delna: "...ah. well, 'here' has caused a major issue for sure." (11:03:25 PM) Delna: "what can we do to find out where they need to go?" (11:04:13 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: A moment while I aks. (11:04:28 PM) dkap: She whips out her own, cell-phone and dials a complex number. (11:04:38 PM) dkap: Jodo: Yes ma'am. (11:04:56 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: I have need of my father's council. (11:05:08 PM) dkap: Jodo: I will see if he is available, and get back to you, post-haste. (11:05:21 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: Thank you, Jodo. (11:05:25 PM) dkap: She hangs up. (11:05:37 PM) dkap: Cagliostro: you are being paged by Jodo. (11:07:28 PM) Cagliostro: answer the page (11:08:05 PM) Cagliostro: The Count will, of course, be available to provide counsel to his daughter. (11:08:23 PM) dkap: In person, or over the phone? (11:08:25 PM) Cagliostro: and will presumably arrive at the conference point briefly, either by Janice's magic or his own. (11:08:27 PM) Cagliostro: in person. (11:08:40 PM) dkap: Good good. Hers, to keep his to a lower profile. (11:09:02 PM) dkap: Delna, Mistress Janice gestures again, and the Count appears. (11:09:12 PM) Cagliostro: The Count bows politely to Delna. (11:09:34 PM) dkap: He is, as always impeccably dressed, and disconcertingly, without decay hanging over him. (11:10:13 PM) Delna: Delna bows in return, still mystified by his unique aura (11:10:44 PM) dkap: (Mistress Janice is the same, and so is Eric, in case you have forgotten.) (11:10:46 PM) Cagliostro: The Count politely waits for someone to brief him. (11:11:14 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: We have some mis-routed werewolves. (11:11:27 PM) Cagliostro: "Ah." (11:11:33 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: Apparently something about oil and water? (11:11:47 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: And your Mayor is losing it . (11:11:53 PM) Cagliostro: "Really? Hm. I had very little information about them,other than they liked protecting things and liked rural areas." (11:12:02 PM) Cagliostro: "Oh, dear. I'll have to have someone check on him." (11:12:16 PM) Cagliostro: "So what's the priority - the mayor or the werewolves?" (11:12:41 PM) Delna: "The werewolves." (11:13:10 PM) ***Cagliostro nods, unsurprised. (11:13:13 PM) Delna: "if they're gone then the mayor won't have anything to go after and can stop panicing...hopefully." (11:13:49 PM) Cagliostro: "I had planned to ask them to divide into two groups; one would go to a city near some remote mountains, the other would go to some even remoter mountains in need of protection." (11:14:08 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: "So, shall we return then? And offer them the choice?" (11:14:21 PM) Cagliostro: "Do we know whether this is sufficient? Neither one would be anywhere near the other refugees, but this was more by accident or design." (11:15:37 PM) Delna: "The pups should like the places you mention. As long as they are far away from any of our kind it should be fine...though this bunch seems to like to fight.." (11:16:05 PM) Cagliostro: "Hopefully they'll pick the area further from people, then. Shall we away?" (11:16:17 PM) Delna: "Yes" (11:17:03 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice brings you back. (11:17:26 PM) Spot: And it's 11:17 here, before we start giant next RP section, late for me... (11:17:28 PM) dkap: Spot, Meiglan, Thye returned with the Count as well. (11:17:49 PM) Caelin: :) (11:17:53 PM) dkap: Ahh ... indeed. A good place to hang, then?
