The 11th of October, 2001...

Outsider looks odd for a second

OrionDouglas looks odd always.

Genie-Model-TGX348 is even.

Genie-Model-TGX348 is apparently the odd one for being even. 348 and all.

OrionDouglas rummages around in her backpack for assorted items...

OrionDouglas pulls out a silver ring and sets it aside...

OrionDouglas pulls out a tuft of cat's hair...

OrionDouglas gets a bottle of Stuff™ from her backpack...

Genie-Model-TGX348 has been silent for some time, but now reinstates itself in the aural atmosphere of the room. "Genie Online. Awaiting Instruction."

[OrionDouglas] Genie!

[Genie-Model-TGX348] "Yes, Mistress?"

Genie-Model-TGX348 's head turns on its' neck, swiveling to face the voice without turning its' body.

[OrionDouglas] I need a scroll on Transfomational Magik.

OrionDouglas thinks it would be easier just to ask for the finished artifact, but...

[Genie-Model-TGX348] "This Unit must apologize, Mistress. This Unit is currently unabale to procure such an item. Perhaps if coordinates were supplied this Unit could retrieve it."

OrionDouglas asks the Genie if it does wishes.

[Genie-Model-TGX348] "This Unit grants wishes that are physically within this Unit's capabilities."

[OrionDouglas] So if I wish for an object, you have to know where the object is, or can you make it appear out of nothing?

[Genie-Model-TGX348] "This Unit must be supplied with the Item's location to retrieve the Item. This Unit would then travel to the Item and return with it. It is not an instantaneous process."

[OrionDouglas] Nevermind Genie, I think I'll just dig around in my backpack some more. *she sudders*

[Genie-Model-TGX348] "Yes, Mistress."

Genie-Model-TGX348 resumes its forward facing stance once more. Its arms are stiffly at its sides, fingers straight. The soft emerald glow of its eyes is reflected in the steel curves about them, giving it an almost wide eyed look.

OrionDouglas dig aound in her backpack, looking for a scroll on Transfomational Magik...

OrionDouglas digs, even. She also throws a large brick at her player.

OrionDouglas finds her marbles!

[OrionDouglas] And I wasn't even looking for them!

OrionDouglas throws a Water Ballon of HEY YOU! at Aurora.

OrionDouglas finds a scroll of Transmute Spell, she sets it aside, it might come in handy...

OrionDouglas pokes Aurora with her WFOAS...

Aurora eeps, and jumps up "What was that for?"

[OrionDouglas] Aurora> Do you have a scroll of Transfomation Magik?

Aurora shakes her head "Sorry, no"

[OrionDouglas] SelenaSoulfire> Do have any magikal scrolls?

[OrionDouglas] *Do you, even? *hurts her player badly*

SelenaSoulfire shakes her head, never really had need for them

[SelenaSoulfire] sorry

[OrionDouglas] Darn. Of all the useless things my backpack of holding has, I just don't have any sort of Transformational Magik.

Sheyd enters this room

[OrionDouglas] Sheyd? You know any magik?

Sheyd looks at Orion "You just gotta be kidding! I'm da MAN when it comes to Magic.."

[OrionDouglas] Sheyd> You got any scrolls of Transformational Magik?

[Sheyd] "What kinda Scrolls? Priestly? Arcane? Demonic?? whatcha need?"

[OrionDouglas] Sheyd> I'm looking for a plain scroll of Animal Form, really.

Sheyd thinks for a moment then does that fakey Nothing up my sleeves routine and plops down a scroll Animalistic transformation on his table "There ya be!"

Angelique enters this room

OrionDouglas picks up the scroll of Animalistic Transformation and instantly drops it screaming.

[OrionDouglas] ARGGGGGHHHH!

OrionDouglas runs around like her hand was on fire, sorta.

OrionDouglas turns to Sheyd, rage in her eyes.

[OrionDouglas] What the hell do think your tring to do? KILL ME?

OrionDouglas HITS her player.

[OrionDouglas] What the hell do you think your trying to do? KILL ME? even.

Sheyd glances at Orion "If I wanted to kill you I'd just rip your spine out and floss with it.." he smiles a fang-filled smile at Orion before turning back to Angelique "So how are you this evening?"

OrionDouglas sets her hand on fire and points it at Sheyd. "

[OrionDouglas] YOU, DUPED ME.

OrionDouglas points at the scroll with her other hand.

Sheyd shrugs to Orion "No, I made what you asked for.. I don't have a clue why you can't pick it up.."

[OrionDouglas] "caus it's for bloody 'Bunny'! It's evil, It's tainted!

[OrionDouglas] *'cause, even.

OrionDouglas throws a Water Ballon of Good Spelling at her player.

OrionDouglas ' player dodges.

Sheyd sighs and looks at Orion "Well I am a demon afterall, I can't help it that my magicks are demonically tainted.."

[Genie-Model-TGX348] "Genie Online. Awaiting Instruction."

Angelique chuckles softly at Orion. "Sheyd, Darling, what have you done this time?"

[OrionDouglas] Sheyd> Point taken. *she tramps off, hand still on fire*

[OrionDouglas] mumbling: no way am i gonna touch something with 'bunny' written on it, bunnys are evil and much be woodchipped... ect..

Sheyd grins at Angel "I was asked to make a Animal Transformation scroll and appearantly the askee *points at Orion* is sensitive to demonic energies.."

[OrionDouglas] Genie!

Angelique snuggles into Sheyd's lap, tucking her wings in tightly. "Oh my, shouldn't you have found that out first, Dearest?"

[Genie-Model-TGX348] "Yes, Mistress?"

Sheyd chuckles "Well yeah I could have asked but then there's no unexpected surprises."

OrionDouglas points at the disputed scroll. "Could you dispose of that for me?"

[Genie-Model-TGX348] "Yes, Mistress."

Genie-Model-TGX348 pivots sharply on its heel, moving with a sureness not seen in something that questions itself. A metallic arm rises, and the air is piereced a moment later by a rising screech, like thunder if it were much higher pitched. The air wavers between the 'Genie's upraised palm and the scroll, a moment later the scroll bursts into flame.

OrionDouglas erects a sign. "Wanted: A non-bunny scroll of Animal Transformation"

Genie-Model-TGX348 slowly lowers its arm. Inside a 2.5 gigawat microwave emitter gives off little tinkling sounds as it rapidly cools. Steam is vented quickly and quietly.

Sheyd begins making paper airplanes out of Form Shift scrolls and launching them lazily at Orion.

Angelique giggles softly. "Sheyd, you are terrible."

OrionDouglas gets hit by a Form Shift: Bunny plane and screams in pain.

Sheyd flings another Paper airplane at Orion making SURE this isn't a bunny related Formshift scroll.

OrionDouglas gets hit by a Form Shift: Tiger plane. "Now this I can use!"

OrionDouglas takes the FS:T scroll and places it by the tuft of cat's hair on her table.

OrionDouglas reads the scroll of Transmute Spell while waving her flaming hand over the items on the table.

OrionDouglas moves back slightly as the items on the table go >POOF!<

OrionDouglas waves away the fog from the table and sees that it worked! She now has a scroll of Form Shift: Cat!

TheGodOfNothing casts a spell (1-3: Fire Ball, 4,5: Bigby's Groping Hand 6:Transmute Couch to Dragon)

TheGodOfNothing rolls a 4. All the ladies in the room feel a spectral hand grope them for 3 seconds.

Angelique has been groped by a spectral hand? "Sheyd! We're in public!"

OrionDouglas gets groped. She hit's the closest male.

Sheyd looks at Angel "It wasn't me Darling!"

Haroun gets the sinking feeling he's closest to Orion

Angelique blinks. "Then who?"

OrionDouglas hits Haroun.

Sheyd swats TGON with a hamster "No spectral hands on my Wife." *He used up his last Munchkin point to make that auto-hit too*

Haroun Ooofs, and curls up a bit, "Even dead, that hurts"

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] Been to the forums lately?

[SelenaSoulfire whispers to OrionDouglas] no, why?

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] Cause your missing out.

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] (it's a link to the very pages you've been reading!)

[SelenaSoulfire whispers to OrionDouglas] what am I missing?

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] Did you check out the URL I sent you?

SelenaSoulfire falls over laughing, thankful she wasn't mentioned

SelenaSoulfire looks at Orion with tears of mirth in her eyes

TheGodOfNothing walks over to Selena and switches over to his best Scottish accent. "Well bonnie lass. How does the evenin' find ye?"

SelenaSoulfire 's laughing to hard to answer TGON

OrionDouglas erects a signs by SelenaSoulfire, "Why is she laughing? I know!"

SelenaSoulfire laughs even harder

OrionDouglas looks at the helpless form of SelenaSoulfire. "What have I created?"

SelenaSoulfire begins to be able to catch her breath

TheGodOfNothing shrugs.

TheGodOfNothing pokes Selena. "Is she breathing?"

OrionDouglas thinks SelenaSoulfire ODed on ODie.

[SelenaSoulfire] yes, I'm ok now *smiles at TGON

SelenaSoulfire wipes tears from her eyes

OrionDouglas hands SelenaSoulfire a bottle of oxygen.

SelenaSoulfire takes the oxygen from OD

OrionDouglas puts the scroll of FS:C in a pouch and looks thru her backpack some more...

Sheyd wonders idly what would happen if he translocated a bunny suit on to Orion... *EG*

OrionDouglas pulls out a copy of "The Idiots Guide to Artifact Making: A reference for the rest of us!"

OrionDouglas GLARES at Sheyd.

Sheyd gets Boldly glared at!! OOOOOO he's Good!!

Angelique deflects the glare with a wing, the gleaming white feathers reflecting it back to Orion :)

OrionDouglas get REGLARED! The horror!

OrionDouglas studies the book and fishes around for the silver ring she put in her pouch...

Sheyd flicks a single strand of bunny fur in Orion's direction.

OrionDouglas sees some bunny (evil EVIL!) fur comeing and incinerates it before it makes contact.

Sheyd grins at Orion "Yep a Bunny suit is in your future... Mebbe for Halloween!"

OrionDouglas notes that someone already tried the bunny suit, Sheyd, why do you thinks she's in her alternate outfit?

Sheyd notes that fireproofing it will be his first tweekage to it *EG*

OrionDouglas GLARES at Sheyd.

Sheyd gets Boldly and underlinedly glared at!! he's even BETTER then he first thought!! He's still got that Magic touch!! :)

OrionDouglas pulls a finger from her backpack and gives it to Sheyd.

Sheyd indicates all returns should be placed in the return box.

OrionDouglas turns to the next chapter...

Sheyd tosses Orion a lucky rabbit's foot...

OrionDouglas gets beaned by a bunny (they will enslave us all!) foot and accidently melts the silver ring she was holding...

Sheyd snickers at Orion then looks back at Angel "This could get interesting.."

OrionDouglas sighs and open her backpack to find another ring...

Angelique smiles at Sheyd, and watches, "Really? Well then, we should watch."

OrionDouglas finds a golden ring! cool.

OrionDouglas puts the ring in her pouch and then pulls out a sharp knife...

Sheyd quoth 'One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in darkness bind them.' here endth the lesson

OrionDouglas is gonna shove something up Sheyd one ring soon...

[OrionDouglas] *Sheyd's, even.

Sheyd grins at Orion "That'll cost ya.. I may be easy but I'm not cheap!" ;)

OrionDouglas cuts off a lock of her own hair and lays it on the table...

OrionDouglas pulls out the golden ring and places it next to the lock of hair...

OrionDouglas pulls out the Form Shift: Cat scroll and places it with the other two items...

OrionDouglas flips to the back of her book and tears out a Create Artifact scroll so thoughtfully included...

OrionDouglas flips back to where she was...

Sheyd watches Orion then looks at Angel "Five coppers says she blows herself up.."

Angelique looks at Sheyd with a smile. "You know I'm not allowed to gamble, Dearest."

OrionDouglas preoccupied, tosses a Holy Water Ballon in Sheyd general direction.

OrionDouglas thumps her player.

Sheyd catches the balloon, carefully pops it and drinks down the boiling (To him at least) water... He winces in pain, blows out a smoke ring and rasps out "Smooth.."

OrionDouglas puts the book down and picks up the Create Artifact scroll, she sets her free hand on fire again...

Angelique raises an eyebrow. "Sheyd, really, you'd think you would have learned long ago not to drink Holy Water. It gives you gas." "

Sheyd grins at Angel "Yeah *Cough Cough* but it tastes so good! Sorta like..." He leans close to Angel and whisper the rest to her.

Angelique leans in, listening to Sheyd, her cheeks staining crimson as she does.

OrionDouglas reads the scroll while waving her flaming hand above the table...

OrionDouglas reads and waves, waves and reads...

OrionDouglas gets momentarly blinded when the contents on her table go >>BAMPF!<<

OrionDouglas coughs and splutters and then summons a minor breeze to clear away the smoke.

OrionDouglas beholds! A ring! She picks up the ring and places it in her pouch.

OrionDouglas spies a small red gem on the table.

OrionDouglas picks up the red gem, feeling the massive amount of fire energy within it...

OrionDouglas puts the gem in her pouch.

[Copperbright] emm..Selena is telling me what to expect

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] Don't go warning them!

[SelenaSoulfire whispers to OrionDouglas] warning who about what? *puzzled*

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] Them about me.

[SelenaSoulfire whispers to OrionDouglas] she was just asking questions about pregnancy

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] I didn't do it.

SelenaSoulfire laughs at OD

[SelenaSoulfire whispers to OrionDouglas] no, it's Lothar's

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] What happened to his "I'm an unloved arsehole" routine?

[SelenaSoulfire whispers to OrionDouglas] who's an asshole?

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] Lothar!

SelenaSoulfire watches all the wh pixies fly around the room

OrionDouglas pulls out a can of wh pixies repellant...

[SelenaSoulfire whispers to OrionDouglas] she's 4 mos along so it's been a while

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] Ahh! *enlightened*

[OrionDouglas whispers to SelenaSoulfire] That's why he's been grumpy, he's not getting any!

OrionDouglas sprays the repellant in the vain hopes of stopping that last /wh...

SelenaSoulfire laughs at ODie

SelenaSoulfire 's just trying to keep up with the pixies

OrionDouglas hands SelenaSoulfire a pixie net...

TheGodOfNothing pokes Selsna

SelenaSoulfire wonders who Selsna is

[TheGodOfNothing] selena rather

[OrionDouglas] She's your evil twin, Selena.

TheGodOfNothing shakes his head at the sudden creation of an evil twin

SelenaSoulfire squeals belatedly as she gets poked

TheGodOfNothing grins evily. "Mwahahahahaha!!!!!" *he tickles her*

SelenaSoulfire wonders who's being tickled, her or the evil twin

TheGodOfNothing is tickling Selena

[OrionDouglas whispers to Aurora] Have you visited 'Kids Say the Dumbest Things' yet?

[Aurora whispers to OrionDouglas] I saw it last night...remember?

OrionDouglas has a mind like a sieve, Aurora. She pours water through her head to demonstate.

Velrult taps his foot impatiently at the door.

OrionDouglas lets Velrult in.

Velrult was already inside, but he nods to Orion anyways, and smiles

OrionDouglas moves away from Velrult, he's creepy...

Velrult is standing inside, by the door, and looks to be waiting for someone. He looks at Orion strangely.

OrionDouglas is looked at stragely. This is something she is used to.

[OrionDouglas] *strangely, even. Bloody player!

[Velrult] I'm sorry for being creepy... It's just who I am... that is what is unnerving you, yes?

[OrionDouglas] Velrult> No, your smiling is what's unnerving me.

Velrult stops smiling. "Okay then..."

Velrult 's eyes gleam slightly, as though he were smiling.

OrionDouglas moves further away from Velrult. "Your smiling on the inside! Oh yes! I know your game!"

Velrult looks at Orion

OrionDouglas moves to the opposite end of the hall to Velrult

Aurora chuckles at Orion

OrionDouglas ends up by the organ donation box.

Velrult tries to look annoyed with Orion... but the edges of his mouth creep upward to clash with his attempt at a glower.

OrionDouglas reaches into the organ donation box and pulls out a hand. She gives Velrult the finger.

[Velrult] *taps his foot impatiently by the door*

Aurora wonders what Velrult did to Orion

Velrult looks at the finger, then at Orion, then back at the finger. "Oh."

[OrionDouglas] Aurora> He smiled at me.

Velrult nods to Aurora, then rolls his eyes slightly... and smiles again.

OrionDouglas point with a flaming hand. "SEE, SEE! He's doing it again!"

Aurora laughs, and shakes her head a bit.

[OrionDouglas] *points, even. *She immolates her player*

Velrult decides not to look at Orion. But his conspicuous lack of attention in her direction seems friendly and sympathetic.... somehow his narrow shoulders seem to be smiling....

Aurora nods "There is nothing wrong with smiling Orion."

OrionDouglas smiles at Aurora. "Really?"

Aurora laughs "Really"

OrionDouglas SMILES at Aurora. "Really?"

OrionDouglas drinks something blue.

Aurora SMILES back at Orion "REALLY"

OrionDouglas moves toward Aurora...

Aurora blinks at Orion, smiling "Can I help you?"

OrionDouglas blinks at Aurora. "No"

Aurora laughs, and sips her water "Okay fine"

[outlander024] oh well how are all of you tonight

[OrionDouglas] outlander024> Loony.

Aurora is bored again

Aurora sips her water, and lies down on the bar

outlander024 walks over and sits at the bar then begins to wonder why there is a woman lying on it

OrionDouglas blinks at Aurora. "Is that an invitation"

Sheyd flings another Rabbit's foot in Orion's direction.

outlander024 looks at orion wondering if this woman on the bar might need a champion

Aurora blinks back at Orion, and rolls her head to the side, facing her "An invitation to do what?"

OrionDouglas just blinks at Aurora.

Aurora laughs quietly to herself

[outlander024] my lady do you require a champion to punish this person for sullying your honor

OrionDouglas gets hit by a bunny (they conspire with the CIA to invade our breakfast foods) foot and suddenly the MainHall is covered in eighteen inches of water.

Aurora recalls last night, and laughs "Oh yes...I remember..um..." *doesn't quite know what to say

Aurora chuckles, and looks at Outlander "Um...huh."

OrionDouglas giggles for no apparent reason.

Aurora is laying on the bar, and did not get wet.

OrionDouglas can make you wet, Aurora.

Aurora tilts her head, looking at outlander "Define champion."

OrionDouglas curses her player.

Aurora bets you could Orion

OrionDouglas yells at her player. "Can I have a little self-restraint? Please?"

Aurora laughs at Orion

Sheyd watches Orion's Player say 'NO'

OrionDouglas fires her player and begins construction of a new one. She fishes around in the organ donation box.

[outlander024] umm champion someone to fight your fights for you and to keep your honor unsullied

Aurora nods "Well..you should have been around a few years ago for that reputation thing. But if it makes you feel better, feel free"

[Aurora] "But don't hurt her."

OrionDouglas draws her sword and turns to face outlander024.

outlander024 runs his fingers through the air in an intricate dance creating a beautifull desighn in the air when orion views it she falls over enrapped in silken threads

Aurora stretches her legs out, and looks at Orion, and back to Outlander "On second thought...um...nah, I can fight my own fights."

OrionDouglas waves her sword in a threatening manner, however, she loses her grip on it and flys off, skewering a nearby NPC.

[OrionDouglas] Oopsie.

OrionDouglas notes that the sword flys off, she stays still.

[outlander024] say your sorry to the beautifull lady for implying what you did

Aurora smiles at Orion

OrionDouglas Auto-Hits outlander024. "Hey! No Auto-Hitting!"

OrionDouglas immolates herself, burning off the silken threads...

Sheyd agrees with Orion "They patched out the Munchkin Points ages ago!"

Aurora watches all this fuss in amazement

OrionDouglas makes no apologies for her behavior, she crazy.

Aurora grins inwardly, and sips her water watching Orion "Apologys are not necessary"

[outlander024] umm I shall see you all another time I'm out of here

[OrionDouglas] Finally!

[Aurora whispers to OrionDouglas] *laughs* He is cracked out

[OrionDouglas whispers to Aurora] Who?

[Aurora whispers to OrionDouglas] outlander....he is funny

OrionDouglas pulls her ring from her pouch.

OrionDouglas pouts at a /wh "More so than me?" She sniffs, sadly.

Aurora lies back on the bar again

Aurora awww's "I can't win can I?....."

OrionDouglas giggles as she puts the ring on her finger...

OrionDouglas says to Aurora, "Not with me around!" as she grows whiskers.

Aurora blinks at the whiskers "Um.....I guess not"

OrionDouglas feels an intense pain coming from near her rear! She reaches around with a knife and makes a small cut, a tail flops out.

Aurora wonders why Orion is turning into a rat

OrionDouglas grows a short black fur all over, and her ears move upwards and become soft and pointy...

[OrionDouglas whispers to Aurora] Wrong Species.

[Aurora whispers to OrionDouglas] What species then?

OrionDouglas pupils become like slits and she grows a short muzzle...

[OrionDouglas] Meow?

Aurora looks at Orion, and blinks "Um...yeah...that explains it...a cat"

OrionDouglas now is the proud owner of a Ring of Furry Form: Cat!

OrionDouglas takes the ring off her paw and returns to normal, she puts the ring away for later...

Aurora watches Orion, and smirks

[OrionDouglas] Phew! All that hard work paid off!

Aurora sits up on her elbow "How did it pay off?"

OrionDouglas is gonna give Rochelle a big suprise next time!

[OrionDouglas] Aurora> It worked!

Aurora laughs at Orion "I am not even gonna ask"

[Aurora] "What worked?"

[OrionDouglas] The spell of Create Artifact that I had been preparing for most of today.

Aurora nods "Ah...I see..." (ooc lol)

OrionDouglas used to be good at creating artifact, but the knowledge faded as she grew better at controlling the elements inately.

OrionDouglas add that she does not have one shread of Transformational Magik.

Aurora rolls over onto her tummy, and looks around the room, obviously bored out of her mind

OrionDouglas throws a water balloon at Aurora.

Aurora catches the water balloon (she can do that irl also), and throws it back, sticking her tongue out atOrion.

OrionDouglas gets wet!

Aurora laughs at Orion "Who made who wet this time?"

OrionDouglas makes a shy face. "You've always made ME wet." She seriously HURTS her player.

Aurora winks at Orions player, and nods to Orion "Really now?"

OrionDouglas blushes!

Aurora smiles at Orion "Awww....how cute"

OrionDouglas is called cute! ARGGGHHHHH!

Aurora laughs, and pats orion on the arm "I'm sorry"

OrionDouglas gibbers!

Aurora laughs at Orion, and shakes her head a bit

Aurora slides off the bar, and walks around, trying to stay awake

OrionDouglas hands Aurora a Buzz Cola.

Aurora takes ther drink "Thank you ma'am"

Aurora drinks the drink, and hops around, rubbing her eyes

[Aurora] Wow...what a lively room

OrionDouglas sighs.

Aurora pokes Orion gently

Aurora is reeeeaaaallllyyyy bored

OrionDouglas pulls a hat out of a hat. She hates bunnys.
