Ryudo Lee's Legacy

[Aisha deCabre]

Aisha enjoyed her breakfast slowly, listening to the felid speak its mind.  She quirked an eyebrow slightly and chuckled.  "Sign up?  You want to come?"  There was a thoughtful smirk.  "Well, good.  If this adventure is anything like the last, more help in the party would be welcome, methink."  She looked over briefly to where Ryudo and Carran were sitting, a reminiscent look on her face once again.  Like old times.  Save for the new additions.

As she finished off what was left on her plate, the panther glanced over to Gareeku only to notice the lightly troubled look on his face.  She tilted her head, concerned, giving him a look as if to ask what was wrong.

[Ryudo Lee]

Ryudo was halfway listening to the conversations behind him.  So, the core is still missing and more angels have appeared.  The situation was becoming clearer with each passing moment.  He quietly drank his coffee.  He didn't have any idea where the pieces could have landed.  He wondered if anyone had a map that they could pinpoint the landing sites on.  He turned around to ask, it was worth a shot.
"Hey, anyone got a map?  Maybe we can pinpoint the landing sites of the other angels on it, so that we'll have some sense of direction at the very least." Ryudo said.

[Gareeku]

Noticing Aisha's look after he had finished his breakfast, Gareeku forced a slight smile.
"I'll be fine." he said, before turning his head towards Ryudo upon hearing him speak. Looking around, the wolf spotted something on the table next to him. Getting up onto his feet, Gareeku walked over to the table an unfolded the paper on it.
"I take it this is what you're looking for." he commented as he observed the unfolded map.

[Azlan]

Carran blinked a few times at Cog's sudden information spout.  He nodded sagely, a fair sign of the confused, and simply replied, "yes... exactly."

As Gareeku produced the map, Carran stood and joined him with Ryudo.  "Having a place to start would be a good thing and perhaps someone or thing with a motive for this would be handy."

[Ryudo Lee]

Ryudo moved over to the table and stood over the map.  He pointed to where the first crater is.
"The first one landed here.  Have we heard any reports of other sightings?  That would help even more." Ryudo said.

Koji was just finishing up the food that was put in front of him.  Once done he turned around to check out all the new people.  Wow, there sure are a lot of them!

[Cheese Foxlee]

Winger sent Morgan to fetch a pack for Rei to put here belongings in and called Emily in to the room and gave her a big hug. "Em, I have to go away for a while.  Do you remember the story about the angel I told you."

"Yeah..." Emily nodded With while started to well up in her eyes.

"The angel has come again, and it's up to us to put it back together."

"Daddy, i don't want you to go!"  The child cried.

"I know, but I have too; so you have to be strong."  Winger said whipping a tear from his daughters eye.  "I'll be back soon." 

With that, winger stood and adressed Rei.  "Now, are we ready to go?"

[self-serving side trip over! Back to the story!]

[Snuggles]

(Self-servering? Haha that trip just brought our char. together a little more!)

Rei just got the pack from Morgan. "Thank you so much" Putting the daggers in the pack along with other things from her belt. Rei then get on her knees for Emily then hugs her too. Then whispers in her ear. "I will bring him back save and sound for you... that's a promise!!" Then hugs her again. Stands up to Winger. "Yep ready to go!"

--EDITED OUT--

[Aisha deCabre]

After gently smiling in reply to Gareeku, knowing that hopefully he would be okay, she watched as he carried a map over to where Ryudo and Carran were.  Hm.  It must have been left here.  Glad nobody stole it.  After finishing her breakfast, she curiously got up from her seat for a moment and looked over it with them before pointing out a few places that had been marked...on paper they looked a little less noticeable than before.

"The map was made by the scholar who came here, asking about angels falling in patterns.  I think she had some sightings listed already..." Aisha hummed and pointed to a few places, different points.  "I told her where we found the parts of the one angel before.  But the core could be anywhere."

Aisha stood up after a moment, stratching the side of her face in idle thought.  Standing and concentrating was never something I liked to do.  I can't wait to get moving.

[Cheese Foxlee]

Ok... then. let's disappear.

[Snuggles]

Rei nods to Winger and grabs his hand. They blink. This time in the realm he seeing what he saw before but this time he gets to talk about it this time. Rei is right at the moment walk around make sure that she doesn't get trapped in one of the many battles around this place.

[Stygian]

The snow leopard sniffed and scratched its nose, assaying the map quickly with shifting eyes.
   "Well... tha's as clean a clue 's I've ever seen," it said with a bit of an amused tone. "When do we set off? I've only got some money to cash in here, 'n I can be on the road in less than an hour."

[Cheese Foxlee]

Winger watched the battles unfolding before him. "Is this where the angel came from?"

[Snuggles]

Rei looks back then the image disappear before there eyes and now the tavern is in view before us. She looks back to Winger. "I guess we will talk later." She now looks around the room seeing a lot more people around then gets closer to winger.

[Joat]

[I must not have been thinking when I last posted. Edited out the mistake.]

[Cheese Foxlee]

Winger looked around a bit, and he could see that not much had changed in ther hour or so that he and Rei had been gone.

"Do we have a plan yet?  Any plan at all? anybody?"

[Ryudo Lee]

Ryudo pointed at a spot on the map, the next nearest landing of an angel.  It was only one town over.  It wouldn't be too much of a hike, and they'd have a town to fall back on if people needed supplies.
"Let's start here, at this town.  It's not too far off.  Any objections to that?" He asked.
Koji started spinning around on his stool.  He was about ready to get moving too.

[topher chee]

     Waking from his longest sleep ever, Topher walked droozily over to where a group seemed to have formed.  He wiped the drool from the side of his face and began to fall.  Catching himself on Winger's should he laughed a bit and shook it off.  "Where are we, bro?" he laughed.

[Aisha deCabre]

After looking at the map for a moment, Aisha quirked an ear at Ryudo's statement while he pointed at a town.  She smirked.  Perfect.

"No objections from me at all," the panthress said.  "Everyone should probably have time to gather some food and water right now perhaps though.  No sense in being lazy if we run into something between this town and that one."  With that opinion, she turned back around, pausing to wave at everyone else who had recently either come in the front doors or from one of the rooms at the inn.  It was very reminiscent, adventurers awakening to the sight of a quest ahead...old faces, and as was reminded when she saw a pretty much eager Robyn, new ones.

There was a quick smile spared at Gareeku then.  Aisha had made a few good friends and acquaintances during the angel fiasco, but none she had known half so well as the wolf...though, maybe she was still just thinking about what happened just before...

With a smirk, she playfully punched his shoulder.  "Time to ass-kicking again, yeah?"

[Cheese Foxlee]

Winger, glared at Topher, and gently slid his the cats hand off his shoulder.  "I'm not your 'bro.' "

Even though he hadn't slept he felt re-energized form his short trip home ,and he couldn't wait to get out on the road.  "Here's hoping we don't run into any un-dead griffon's, or giant man eating worms along the way; And god save us frome floppy eared wind sprites!"

[Snuggles]

Rei looked a little more tried then Winger did. She is looking around the room to find that all of the people that were helping before have come again and this time with two new people. Then she looks up to Winger again when he starts to say un-dead griffons and so on ans shakes a little bit then sits down on the nearest chair.

[topher chee]

    Topher laughed lazily and collapsed to his rear on the floor.  "Geesh I need to wake up..."
    Topher called for the waitress and asked for a cold glass of water.  Within seconds he was pouring the cool water onto his scalp which soon drizzled down his back and he sprang up into the air.  "Woooooweee!"  he yelped.  He returned to where the group was and waited for what was to come.

[Ryudo Lee]

Ryudo rubbed his chin.  Aisha's suggestion made a lot of sense.  It would be better to head out with provisions.
"Alright then, let's get stocked up on food and water and let's head out." He said.
The bartender groaned inwardly as he heard that, because HE would be the one getting the food and water.  Time to break out the canteens...

---------------------

Down below, in the lowest pit of Hell, Yuki sat in her icy throne watching a vision of the happenings in the bar.
"Pah, this again.  I don't know why I waste My time with these people." She said.
A few imps were running around, keeping things moving.  There were a few weaker devils gathered around Her feet... little brownnosers, always trying to gain favor.
"I guess I should start making things interesting.  You three." She said.
The devils at Her feet stood up, ready to take any order from Her.
"Go topside and give our adventurers a run for their money." She commanded.
They ran off, all of them eager to show up the others in hopes of gaining Yuki's favor.  A shadow loomed behind Yuki, and a deep voice sounded off.
"They won't even make a dent in that group." The shadow said. "Send me, I can make sure that they'll never..."
But Yuki interrupted him.
"You are My ace in the hole.  I'll send you out to them eventually, just be patient." She said calmly.
"Yes, Lady Satan." He said with a subservient tone. "I can't wait for that day."
But there was something else there that was intruiging her.  Something more than just what was going on with Ryudo and Koji.  She couldn't put Her finger on it, but if She could grasp it, perhaps She could use it to Her advantage.

[Cheese Foxlee]

Winger chuckled a bit. "Now that's a plan!  Shy didn't I think of that?"

[topher chee]

   Topher looked up energized to hear of an adventure.  "May I?......" He asked politely.

[Ryudo Lee]

Koji had wandered over to the table and peeked up over it to see the map.  Ryudo turned as topher spoke.
"Sure, just get your gear, and some food and water.  I know we got some canteens in the back somwhere." Ryudo said.
He looked over to the bar, but the bartender had already gone to fetch the canteens.

[Cheese Foxlee]

Winger grabbed a canteen and threw it over his shoulder.  I'm ready. the road will provide the rest.

[topher chee]

   Topher nodded at Ryudo's respons and left immediately to get his things.  He threw everything he had with him in his sash and looked to where the bartender was. "Mind if I take one of those off your hands?"  he asked politely.
    The bartender nodded and Topher bowed to thank him.  He went toward the door and pulled a whistle from under neath his shirt.  He blew it as hard as he could and a faint whistle could be eard.  Within seconds Blue, his dear friend from the forest landed swiftly a Topher's feet.  Topher knelt down on one knee and patted the fdog-like creatures head.  The heeler lapped Topher's cheek as Topher infromed him that he'd be going away for a while.  Blue barked at once and whined for a bnelly rub.  Unable to resist the cuteness Topher tickled the heeler and laughed.  "I'll see you soon, pal."

[Joat]

Sylva asks the bartender politely for one of the canteens and gets one.

Pan jumps onto her shoulder and whispers in her ear, “I can always teleport to the Adther PD cafeteria for food for the two of us, Sylva. I’d teleport us to our destination, but I’ve learned not to try teleporting to places I’ve never been to before. I’d land us all in a volcano or something.”

“Okay, but why did you have to whisper that?”

“Getting food for the two of us is already a stretch of the regulations. If anybody overhears this plan, they might want me to get food for THEM, too.”

“Good point.”

[Ryudo Lee]

Ryudo packed some food and canteens away into a backpack for himself and Koji.  He looked around at the others around him as they did the same.
"Okay then, we're just about ready I think.  So, who's coming with us and who's staying behind?" He asks.
