Master Of Fates (TC)08/14/2018
"Yes. I belive so." The woman sighs.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/14/2018
"How did you get stuck here?" Kara looks back towards the woman. "Who are you?"
Master Of Fates (TC)08/14/2018
"Who said I was stuck here?" The woman returns, picking up her quill and returning to her work. "should you not also be falling asleep?"
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/14/2018
"Now that I know how to get out, wouldn't it be better to learn all I can?"
Master Of Fates (TC)08/14/2018
Now she looks a little bit irritated, shaking her head. "go to sleep."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/14/2018
"How do I get back?"
"To here, I mean."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/14/2018
(is this not a thing i can roll for)
Monkey Tailed Cheat Code (Birdy)08/15/2018
(TC is asleep)
(/headed there myself)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/15/2018
(What are you wanting to roll for?)
Little Thief (Chips)08/15/2018
(I think Dana is asking whether it's possible to ever roll to return to where this woman is)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/15/2018
(Anything is possible)
"I would suggest not by the method you arrived this time."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/15/2018
(i mean roll for getting info from her)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/15/2018
(sure.)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/15/2018
(55 |D oh well)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/15/2018
Kara huffs, frustrated. They've come all this way, found one person in this Void-space, and they're like this? "Why won't you help us? I told you, I'd help you in return."
Master Of Fates (TC)08/15/2018
"you cannot help me and your problems are not mine." She shrugs, tilting her head.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/15/2018
"How do you know I can't help you?"
Master Of Fates (TC)08/15/2018
"why do you think I deserve to be helped?"
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/15/2018
Kara shrugs. "Either you're looking to heal yourself, or someone you care about. I can sympathise."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/15/2018
"Do you believe you don't deserve help?"
Master Of Fates (TC)08/16/2018
"I think you should sleep." Her voice is very calm
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/16/2018
Kara sighs, still frustrated but willing to back off. She leans back onto the floor, closing her eyes and trying - somewhat awkwardly - to sleep.
(77 what the actual fuck)
(i think kara has had one successful roll out of like. Many)
Little Thief (Chips)08/16/2018
Thorn just watches on without saying a word. He wants to rejoin Murtagh too but feels like he ought to keep an eye on Kara first.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/16/2018
(a good dragon ;3; )
Little Thief (Chips)08/16/2018
(no he just has no faith in your ability to be sensible)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/16/2018
(reasonable tbh)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/17/2018
The woman goes on rustling her papers, and the sound of the pen is quiet in the background
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/17/2018
"It's not working," Kara grumbles, opening her eyes to glare at the ceiling.
Little Thief (Chips)08/17/2018
Thorn makes an odd coughing sound that anyone who's been around his kind would know as laughter.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/17/2018
"Shut up," she grumbles towards Thorn, less because she recognizes the sound and more because she feels foolish. "Do you have magic or something?"
Little Thief (Chips)08/17/2018
Thorn hums quietly. It...doesn't sound like a no?
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/17/2018
(hey so uh. what would teleporter pinball do here.)
(with the note that it's literally impossible for her to actually get where she intends to go; it's pure pinball, not 'intended location or otherwise')
Master Of Fates (TC)08/18/2018
(oh god are you going to try to teleport here)
(Like I guess you can roll)
The woman sighs softly, shaking her head.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/18/2018
"You try sleeping on a strange stone floor when it's important." She's irritated, but does look over to Thorn. "Like, sleeping spells?" She's taking to magic being real pretty easily, all things considered.
(she'll try teleporting if thorn magic doesn't work)
Little Thief (Chips)08/18/2018
Thorn stares at her for a little while. Then he grudgingly gets up and makes his way to her, claws snicking against the floor, until he's by her arm. He focuses on it before touching his snout to skin with a soft growl.
(.... I got a 97. Normally I only take crit success for it working but a crit fail????)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/18/2018
(kara never sleeps again)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/19/2018
(Jesus Christ. Uh roll severity)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/19/2018
(both?)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/19/2018
(16 if so)
Little Thief (Chips)08/19/2018
(63)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/19/2018
(You got a meh. Thorn is back with Murtagh)
(But you my pretty)
(You are not back with anyone)
(You are sitting on a bed in the middle of a lake)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/19/2018
This is so goddamn weird. Like, Kara can no longer fully articulate how weird her life has gotten. "Really?!" She lets out a long, frustrated ugh!!! and flops backwards on the bed, glaring up at the sky.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/20/2018
"Is anyone... around?"
Master Of Fates (TC)08/20/2018
Silence. Water smacking against the sides of her bed
Just you and the water.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/20/2018
The sky gets another scowl, then she sits up to take better stock of where she is. She doesn't get off the bed just yet, but she does look around her, trying to see just how close to land she is.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/20/2018
(actually what does the air feel like?)
(thick and heavy, or thin and sparse? i imagine it's still uncomfortably hot)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/20/2018
(Stickyhot)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/20/2018
(what is it like around the lake?)
(like, what does she see)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/20/2018
The weather, however, is distracting with how hot and humid it is. She groans, long and frustrated, then works to strip off the bodysuit under her clothes. She does it in stages, first taking off the fabric layer then unzipping the suit about halfway, so she can slip her shirt back on, then does the same with her legs and pants. Rather than pull her greaves back on, she leaved them piled on top of the undersuit and rolls up the cuffs of her pants. For a moment, she just dangles her feet in the water, trying to think.

(this is under her clothes lmao, it is Too Much in the humid heat)
Little Thief (Chips)08/20/2018
(is the bed not getting soaked? /curious)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/20/2018
(oh good point; i thought it was maybe on a box spring and was floating enough to not be like, sinking, but yeah that is also a thing |D )
Little Thief (Chips)08/20/2018
(other questions to ask:
1. Is the bed stable or is it bobbing (implying that it is floating rather than fixed down)?
2. TC said 'lake' - does that mean there's a definable shore line in the distance one could potentially swim towards?)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/20/2018
(that's what she's trying to spot in looking around)
(but yeah chips is better at Questions that me 8D ty)
Little Thief (Chips)08/20/2018
(/makes the questions easier to see lmao)
(but yeah hope that helps)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/21/2018
(There is a shoreline but it is distant. The bed is bobbing around)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/21/2018
(does it seem like she will sink?)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/21/2018
(she is. not gonna try and go back to sleep now |D sorry tc)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/21/2018
(lol.
(ok. What are you doing?)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/21/2018
(is she sinking?)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/21/2018
(that will determine what she does next)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/21/2018
After a moment, Kara raises her hand and fires off a series of void blasts, trying to use them like flares. Next, she takes her greaves and wraps her bodysuit around the ends to form a makeshift oar, beginning to paddle towards the closest shore she can see.
Master Of Fates (TC)08/21/2018
(She is bobbing around)
(And making some progress towards the other shore. Can you roll for me on the void baffs?)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/21/2018
(45)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/21/2018
(MEH)
(You get to the shore. It is rather rocky)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/21/2018
Hey, it worked! Kara scrambles off the bed and onto the shore before she can float back off, then dismantles her 'oar' so she can pull her greaves back on.
(does anything stand out in any particular direction?)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/23/2018
(flat sort of blankness. Like it is only half realized.)
(hey murtagh you are in a small study downstairs. Thron just appeared. Roll observation)
Little Thief (Chips)08/23/2018
(wait. you mean he didn't return to the castle??)(
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/23/2018
Kara frowns and then, with nothing else she can think to do, heads forward and away from the lake.
(should we split chats?)
Little Thief (Chips)08/23/2018
(9 for observation; splitting would be a good idea possibly, I can go back to plottery?)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/23/2018
(You are in a study in the castle.)
(There is a painting of a landscape on the wall, a lake surrounded by black rock. You definately noticed that while before it was a blank landscape now there is a person in it.)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/23/2018
(oh my god)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/23/2018
The sky is quite gray and the rocks seem to go on, becoming sharper and harder to climb.
Little Thief (Chips)08/23/2018
....
lol
so is it moving while Kara does things?
Master Of Fates (TC)08/23/2018
It sure is.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/23/2018
Kara, meanwhile, has backed up from the rocks, frowning and looking for anything that looks like it could be a handhold. Maybe getting up high will help her find out where she is.
Little Thief (Chips)08/23/2018
welp
how...is he meant to help with this
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/23/2018
maybe just tap on it or talk to it? see if she can hear or feel him at least
Little Thief (Chips)08/23/2018
he will try touching the painting
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/24/2018
(oh my god what if murtagh drew on the canvas)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/24/2018
(does anything change for kara?)
Little Thief (Chips)08/24/2018
(I'll try that later but only touching first)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/24/2018
She is going to tear up her hands.
Little Thief (Chips)08/24/2018
(no effect for touching?)
Little Thief (Chips)08/24/2018
if there is no effect for touching then Murtagh will look for something to use to paint on the canvas and try making a crude door
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/25/2018
(chips' question about tapping needs an answer)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/25/2018
(IT feels like paint though if he does touch her he can feel her wiggling around as she moves)
Little Thief (Chips)08/25/2018
(creepy)
(btw is the painting one that's always existed in the castle or would Murtagh not recognise it at all?)
his fingers are going to recoil from the image of Kara but he will look for a brush or something... not sure where to get the paint from though
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/25/2018
Kara pulls her hands back from the larger rocks when she realizes she won't be able to climb them; frustrated and seemingly out of options, she scoops a smaller rock up off the ground and hurls it at the cliff, then flops to sit and glare. Now what?
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/26/2018
(i'm curious to see if cutting the canvas would do anything if murtagh is at all inclined towards that, or if drawing on it doesn't work)
(as Potential Actions lmao)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/26/2018
(Painting has been there.)
(It's just a weird little landscape on the wall in one of the little studies. Nothing impressive.)
(So are you drawing on it? There is no paint)
Little Thief (Chips)08/26/2018
(he should have a crude pencil, aka. a lump of coal, to use
(so he'll just try drawing a 'door' with that)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/26/2018
(Ok. Roll)
Little Thief (Chips)08/26/2018
(25)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/26/2018
So Kara sees a black line appear midair. Then another. Then another. What do you do
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/26/2018
First she freaks out, just a little bit, jumping up and pointing her amp towards the lines. When they don't immediately become dangerous she approaches, reaching out to try and touch one of the lines.
Master Of Fates (TC)08/26/2018
Seems as solid as the rocks a little chalky.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/26/2018
There's a doorknob?
Master Of Fates (TC)08/26/2018
Did Murtagh draw a doorknob?
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/26/2018
my brain is saying most likely
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/26/2018
She does reach out to try and turn it.
Little Thief (Chips)08/26/2018
yes lol
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/26/2018
yeah totes trying to turn it then |D
Little Thief (Chips)08/26/2018
oh, maybe I shouldn't say that it wouldn't be a knob though
I don't know if Alagaesia had doorKNOBS
would be*
Team Dad (Valour)08/26/2018
some manner of handle to pull?))
Little Thief (Chips)08/26/2018
definitely a handle yes
no lock
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/26/2018
ohhh okay, first she'll pull/push it straight and if that doesn't work she'll try to like, turn it? in case it's the kind of handle you turn
Little Thief (Chips)08/26/2018
just push or pull
it'd be a solid handle
like old doors
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/26/2018
aah gotcha
Master Of Fates (TC)08/27/2018
It pulls open
It is dark on the other side
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/27/2018
welp
63 for shooting a quick blast at the darkness
Ardyn WTF (Art)08/27/2018
((Did you just magic missile the darkness? ))
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/27/2018
(PRETTY MUCH)
(sorry orion)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/27/2018
(murtagh roll your Dodge)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/27/2018
(WHOOPS)
Little Thief (Chips)08/27/2018

Master Of Fates (TC)08/27/2018
A little beam shoots out, it is only large enough to singe your thumb as it passes.
Little Thief (Chips)08/27/2018
lmfao
he is going to scowl and scrawl above the door: "Be careful!"
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/27/2018
fucking bless
Kara blinks at the words appearing above the door. "Okay, I got it! Sorry." She sighs, taking one last look back around the lake, then steels herself and steps through the door.
Little Thief (Chips)08/27/2018
(Murtagh can't hear her right?)
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/28/2018
(and she doesn't see through the door? like she's just. stepping out into potentially nothing.)
Master Of Fates (TC)08/29/2018
(She cannot see. And murtagh you see a tiny form jump out of the door, but she grows into her normal size before she hits the ground. Congrats on your graffit.)
Little Thief (Chips)08/29/2018
(huzzah \o/)
Murtagh startles back and stares at her tumbling/leaping out of the tiny portal he's drawn. After a few moments, he rubs his forehead and mutters, "I can't believe that worked..."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/29/2018
Kara yelps in surprise when she suddenly starts tumbling through the air, but reverting to her regular size before hitting the ground means it doesn't hurt too badly. She rubs her shoulder where it struck the floor. "What happened?"
Little Thief (Chips)08/29/2018
He points to the painting. He's still holding the coal in his hand, fingers smudged black with dust. "I could see you moving in that landscape so I thought, perhaps, drawing a door would let you out."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/29/2018
She follows his gesture and her eyebrows shoot up. "I was in a painting? I'm amazed that worked too..." She stands with a sigh. "Thank you."
Little Thief (Chips)08/29/2018
Uncomfortable with the praise, Murtagh shrugs awkwardly and looks aside. Thorn laboriously flaps to his outstretched arm and settles at his shoulder once more. "I wonder why when we sleep, we don't travel to other places as a matter of course."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/29/2018
"Maybe we do, and don't remember." The idea is uncomfortable, but Tenno sleep is always weird.
Little Thief (Chips)08/29/2018
"Perhaps that is what our dreams really are." Well, their little 'adventure' is done with (he hopes). He heads to the door to make sure they really are back at the castle they know.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/29/2018
Hopefully. Kara covers her mouth suddenly with both hands. "...I still attacked that mirror woman." Yeah, remember that?
Little Thief (Chips)08/30/2018
Murtagh snorts. "The Lady of this keep. Yes, you did. Are you prepared for the possible consequences?"
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/30/2018
"Or, even better, we could... leave." Seems like being bounced around spooked her some.
Little Thief (Chips)08/30/2018
Murtagh gives her a flat look. "Leave the castle, certainly. Leaving the grounds, however? That is more difficult."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/30/2018
"Well, it's a start. Better than staying put. ... I need to get my things." Luckily she doesn't have much. "There's a town. I bet there's somewhere we can hide out."
Little Thief (Chips)08/30/2018
He sighs. "There is an inn, but you would need coin to stay there. All the other houses are ruined."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)08/30/2018
Kara thinks for a moment. "You think anyone would pay to like... fight? Like boxing or something?"
Little Thief (Chips)09/03/2018
"You can try. But you would be hard-pressed to find opponents to fight, I think. Especially after Leitner had the better ones fight to the death on his son's behalf."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)09/04/2018
"Where's this son now? Here?"
Little Thief (Chips)09/04/2018
Murtagh narrows his eyes. "If I tell you, are you going to run off again and fight?"
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)09/04/2018
Kara hunches up her shoulders a little, looking put out. "...No. Not now." She has been thoroughly spooked, it seems.
"Later, when I have a better idea of how."
Little Thief (Chips)09/05/2018
Mollified by that response, Murtagh sighs. "I don't know where he is exactly but I would assume he's in one of the rooms upstairs. Someone drew a layout of the rooms in the journals and purportedly there are some reserved for a nursery. This was before the boy was born."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)09/05/2018
Kara looks up towards the ceiling, as though that's at all helpful. "Why would he make people fight to the death, then? For the enjoyment of an infant, who wouldn't know what's happening?"
Little Thief (Chips)09/05/2018
"...He laughed at what he saw," Murtagh's voice is low and controlled. "What child laughs at a slaughter?"
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)09/05/2018
"Maybe one who doesn't realize it's a slaughter."
Little Thief (Chips)09/05/2018
He shrugs. It's not something he can say for certain until the boy grows up anyway. "Whatever the case, I want nothing to do with Leitner or his family. You should ask around for information. There are others better able to provide it than me."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)09/05/2018
"If he's the one keeping us here, we'll have to deal with them eventually." Damn. She wants to fight. She wants so badly for taking someone's head off to be the straightforward answer.
Little Thief (Chips)09/09/2018
Unbeknownst to her, Murtagh would have loved to do the same. "You will see him. If you keep drawing attention to yourself, or--" He breaks off, a sudden thought - a memory - occurring to him. "He may call on you himself. He seems to have a...fascination with women."

The last part is almost spat out, Murtagh's expression twisting into hateful distaste.
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)09/09/2018
It's pretty obvious what he's talking about, and Kara crinkles up her nose. "Gross. I don't suppose I can just... burn his face off, can I? Or burn anything off in particular."
Little Thief (Chips)09/10/2018
Murtagh barks out a laugh. "Please, go right ahead. From what I understand, he only needs to be alive."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)09/11/2018
Kara cackles. "People can live in a variety of states, after all. There's someone from my world who is just a head and a spine. It's creepy."
Little Thief (Chips)09/13/2018
The idea of someone living as only a head and a spine is utterly incomprehensible to Murtagh, but he supposes it must be one of the quirks of her world. So he simply utters a quiet, 'Hah', and shakes his head. "I hope I'm able to witness whatever it is you do to him. He has caused enough grief."
Beautiful Peacock (Dana)09/14/2018
"Ideally I won't have the opportunity for a while." She looks around, still kind of smirking but worry is starting to creep up. "That said, I should probably... go. Out of here."
