[ We find Some Of Our Heroes loafing around the same tiny town as earlier. It was such a nice day, you all decided that your visit to Hell on Earth could wait an extra twelve hours or so. ] [ It's a nice town; despite the fact that none of you save Alci and Kenji could possibly be confused for samurai, people have been fairly nice. The area has lots of pleasant forests and a few grassy hills that haven't been taken over by rice paddies yet. There's a small shrine to someone who, according to Will, is more or less Barlen, and it’s tended by an old priest an a few young shrine maidens who all love to hear about the outside world ] [ That, and you can get real meat here to chow on. That's always nice. ] [ Evening is aproaching, and Kenji and Seylin have headed off to catch up on some bandits they dealt with earlier in the day. This leaves the rest of you here, making use of the Maximize Relaxation feat. ] [ Session Start! ] * Tia hums to herself as she strolls down a street, looking for fun things to do. * Patrick looks pretty bored and anxious to do something. * WillS walks along side of Tia, enjoying the stroll. * Tia sings a few lines of macabre Draconic verse in between humming as she skips and hops merrily down the street, tail wagging cheerfully. Enjoying yourself? Uh-huh! * WillS grins. Tia's happiness is infectious. "Duh. You can't tell?" No, I just felt like stating the obvious. * WillS eyes Pat. "You are bored aren't ya." * Patrick grins at Will. "What, can't you tell?" * WillS grins back. "With you I'm never sure. You're a slippery one." * Tia continues singing to herself. * Patrick whistles idly. [ There's a crackling, popping sound from down the road. Sounds like fireworks. ] * Tia jumps. "Whoa, what was that?" * Patrick shrugs. "Fireworks?" Fireworks? Oooh! Wanna go take a look? * Tia dashes off at a full gallop. "Firewoooooorks! I wanna seeeee!" * Patrick takes off after Tia. Yaaay! Fireworks! * WillS chases after Tia too. "Tia, wait up!" [ Tia charges up to the kids playing with fireworks, who cling to each other and scream as she nears them. They stop when she doesn't eat them. ] * Tia giggles. "Hi!" * Tia waves. Tia, hold on, you're scaring the kids. I am? Ooh. Sorry. * Tia backs up a bit, hoping to be less scary that way. [ The kids blink. "" ] * Patrick bows to the kids and smiles, making sure his translator's on. "Don't mind her, she just really likes fireworks." * WillS catches up and smiles at the kids. "Yeah. She just gets excited sometimes." [ say the kids. One of them thoughtfully lights a punk and tries to hand it up to Tia. ] * Tia beams at the kids from behind Patrick and Will. * Tia claps gleefully and accepts it from the child. "Thanks!" * Tia stares at the smoldering piece of wood contentedly, a huge smile on her face. Uh... [ The kids hold up some fireworks for her to light with the punk. "" ] You might want to *light* the fireworks. * Tia blinks a couple of times. "Oh! Right!" She grins sheepishly. "Which way should I throw 'em?" [ "" ] All right! I can do that! * Tia happily takes the fireworks offered to her, lights them with the punk, and chucks them in the opposite direction of the town, as hard as she can. [ The fireworks immediately disappear from sight. A few seconds later there is a very distant 'pop', maybe half a mile off. ] * Tia claps delightedly. "How was that?" [ The kids blink. "" says one, "" ] * Tia grins. "I have a lot of practice. We throw couches at home!" [ "" ] Umm...it's this big soft thing you sit on. With cushions. I haven't seen any around here, though! * Tia mimes the rough shape dimensions of a couch. "Kinda shaped like this..." ((shape and dimensions, even)) [ "" ] Where we live they're very common, actually. * Tia nods. "All over the place!" [ The kids "ooooooo" in unison. "" ] * Tia blinks and looks to Patrick. "Imperial lands?" * Patrick shakes his hand. "No. We live very very far away. Over the mountains." [ "" says one of the kids. "" ] Uh-huh! Guess so. * Tia grins again. [ "", the kids all say. One examines Tia's legs. "" ] * Tia giggles. "I haven't ever met anyone like me, if that's whatcha mean." [ The kids are highly impressed. ] But there are people who are scaly, and some that have feathers too. Tia's special though. ^^ Seylin has feathers! She does. ^^ We woulda brought her along, but she and Kenji went out to do something fun without us. * Tia pouts briefly. Yeah, I'm getting really bored. :/ [ "" say the kids. "" ] * WillS blinks. "A ghost?" Shougi? A ghost? [ "" ] Wow. Any idea what he's waiting for? Something. Obviously. ^^ [ "" ] Ooh! Stories! I love stories! * WillS nods. "Sounds like a nice ghost." Could be, could be. [ ""... the kids think. "" ] Throwing rocks or talking to a ghost. Hmmm. Little things? You don't mean animals, do you? I like animals. [ "" The kids look nervously at each other. ] * Tia is smiling and looks completely non-threatening. Or so she thinks, anyway. [ "" says one of the kids. "" ] Oh, okay. They both sound fun. I've never seen a ghost before, though. [ Session Endish! ]
