[Day: Tuesday, Oct. 8th. Time: 4:00 p.m.] [You're in Herman's apartment! You've switched bodies with some other people, also there! You escaped demon lord Moloch, taking with you a box full of Moloch trophies! And now, in order to get back into the right bodies, you're going to seek one of Ashley's old friends. That everything? I think so.] (And visit the other switchie.) (Librarian/Broken Limb Woman) [Herman, in Sarah's body, begins to cast a teleport spell. He then suddenly discovers that casting spells takes a lot of energy, energy he doesn't have. He collapses with a *thud*.] [Session Start!] [The NPC group just sweatdrops.] * Ashley sighs. "Oh, bloody hell." Ack! He's not suposedta do that! Pipe Girl! Hey, are you okay? You didn't pass out, did you? Did she pass out? Sarah rushes over to her body. "Ack!" ... I think we'll be leaving this out of the movie version. She totally fell over, so she's not okay at all! [She checks him over and breathes a sigh of relief. "He seems fine. He just collapsed. I guess he's not used to casting spells in my body yet."] * Lukas glances to Togo and idly tosses a hand over his head, expressing exasperation. "And after all that, a change of plans." Hate to be a downer love, but that cuts our potential travel plans in half. [Xuan says something in Japanese. Sarah responds, also in Japanese.] So, like, what do we do now? [Mitsuji looks up from his computer. "Not really. Your man has a teleport spell too, doesn't he? Sarah can take you."] Yes, that'd be the other half. [Sarah looks up. "It's not that easy! It only works if I know where I'm going."] * Ten looks at Sara. "You're not gonna fall over too are you?" I like that spell. It's shiny. * Lukas licks his lips and looks for somewhere to sit idly, like a chair edge. "And we wanted to split. I doubt Ashley's 'friend' is the 'big crowds' type." [Sarah blinks. "No? I don't think so... I haven't cast much yet, and people react differently to magic, and..."] I could call in a coupla favors, get us a coupla vans if we needed. That help? [Justinius shrugs. "Eh. We can do without the teleport. We just have to walk around the city."] * Ten grins and nods. "That's cool then. Shouldn't we, like, put him in his bed or something? He doesn't look comfortable there and stuff." * Lukas blinks and says, "... shit, I can't drive you people anymore." I can drive! [Justinius eagerly moves forward to take up Ten's suggestion, but Sarah glares at him and does it herself.] * Ten looks a bit distracted as she helps Sarah move her fiancee. I promise I'm good at driving. I won't kill anyone in the least little bit. Please get vans so I can drive? * Lukas blinks as if realizing something and says, "Maybe Togo should drive instead." * Ashley pinches his nose. "Can you get us to Swansea?" * Lukas looks over to not-himself. "Did you at least bring my bike this way?" [Sarah scratches his cheek. "Swansea... hmmm...." He blinks, and his eyes light up. "I've been there before! ... I think."] * Togo blinks. "Oh yeah. I could probably drive now." *pauses* "Gimme a few minutes on the phone. I'll get us some wheels." [She disappears with Herman into the bedroom, returning shortly after.] [Mitsuji looks up at Lukas and blinks. "What bike?"] We've gotta motercycle! Or, like, we did. [Mariah (who looks like Togo!) makes a suggestion: "I think you should avoid splitting up."] * Lukas , the kid, rubs his forehead and sighs. "Yeah." * Togo pauses. "Unless we can make do with the teleport. Do we need vans, or will the teleporting be sufficient?" *looks at Sarah-in-Herman* Togo, have you driven before? Yeah, but not for a few years. [Sarah gestures. "Teleporting would be fine, for our first destination at least. I don't know about the ones past that..."] [Justinius shrugs. "Worry about that when you get there, I say."] * Ashley shrugs. "As you like, but we've got some incredible traveling to do to find my chum. Best method's to let him find you, but that can take ages." [Justinius chuckles. "Yeeeeeah... No, I think it'd be best if we found him."] (Or everyone could stand around, that's cool too) * Lukas lets out a sigh and says, "Look, whatever. I'm just along for the ride now." He looks to the other group's people. "Some've you staying here for when Herman wakes up?" * Alys raises her hand. "I wanna go do fun things." [Justinius thumps his chest. "No worries, I'll look after h- ouch!" he grabs his foot as Xuan steps on it. She turns towards your group and smiles. "I watch."] [Mitsuji says, without looking up, "I'll stay here, too. Mariah and Justinius can go get the librarian and the other woman."] * Ten nods. "That works! Now we've just gotta go find this guy and switch back!" [Liadan beeps. "Let's go."] * Ashley fingers the monocle. "Yes." [Dante doesn't move. Guess that means he's staying.] Take good care of the body, mate. ["You too. Don't get my head turned into a horse's."] So no vans then? Good. Would've had a helluva time explaining why my voice suddenly went up a few octaves. * Lukas rolls his neck slightly and runs his hand back through his hair, saying in a not-so-happy voice, "Can think of worse. C'mon." To Swansea, then. [Sarah steps forth. "Okay. Ready?"] * Ten nods. "Yep! Just pick a door!" [She does! The bathroom door. She starts casting.] * Alys turns to Ashley. "Is your friend as pretty as you, um, usually are?" The one we're about to see? She's gorgeous. The bloke, well... he's a bit wizened. [She casts the spell and opens the door. "After you."] * Ashley heads on through! * Lukas smiles a little and then shakes his head before heading through too. * Ten walks through the door that doesn't go to the bathroom any more. [Liadan is either carried through by Ten of floats through on her own.] * Alys walks through happily. * Togo walks through. (I forgot that I was carrying me. o_o) (You are! XD) [Sarah walks in after you, shutting the door. And you find yourselves in an old-timey tavern that's almost entirely wooden and frankly, looks like something from the Middle Ages. Except for the patrons wearing modern clothes and all.] [Liadan beeps. "This place?"] * Ashley takes a deep breath. "Ah, the all-encompassing damp. We love you, Wales, for you smell like no place else on earth." [Sarah smiles. "Well, it was the only place I could remember."] [Liadan beeps again. "I guess you can't forget a night like that, huh?"] * Ten lifts her body to her face and whispers. "You need to be careful talking, people start asking weird questions when I did it too much. S'why I wrote that other synth." * Togo looks around. "I've drank in worse." [Sarah blushes and clutches the ends of her shirt. "I... it's wasn't my best night. I had a cold and..." ["And were drunk off your rocker."] * Ashley grins. "That's why they make pubs, love." He heads towards the door. ["I-It could happen to anybody!" She exhales forcefully. "Let's just do what we came here for."] [Liadan tilts her head towards Ten. "Oh. That sucks."] * Alys follows Ashley, looking around as she does so. * Lukas smirks a little and follows. "Yeah. I'll have to remember to tell Herman about it too." At least he doesn't get smacked for being underage. [Sarah follows Ashley as well! The door leads you to a city with a lot more small buildings than large.] [Sarah stamps her foot and turns on Lukas. "Don't you dare!"] * Ten nods. "'S'why I've got a lot of games in there." Then she follows everybody else out. * Togo ponders sitting down and ordering a pint, but thinks better of it and follows the others out. * Ashley goes outside, and looks around. "Now. Where was she last?" He heads off in a direction, sauntering like he doesn't look like a huge freak. [Liadan beeps as they walk. "Soooo... Ashley, was it? How well do you know this woman?"] Well, that should be obvious, shouldn't it? ["Should it?"] She's a fae, too. ["Well, yeah... But you don't know every single fae out there, do you?"] I should hope not. But it would be fairly hard to not know at least some other fae. Which way? * Ashley takes an abrupt right, walking through a flowerbed. * Lukas smirks up at Sarah/her/him. "Oh, come on. What's he gonna do, not want to be in a relationship more?" (To death!) * Ten blinks, and then tries not to step on any of the flowers. "Can't we go around?" Follow on, most of this is from memory. [Sarah humphs and turns away from Lukas, folding her arms and putting her nose in the air. "My private life is none of your business, thank you very much."] * Alys picks a flower as she walks through and tucks the stem under her headband. (Amusingly, it's Herman's body that's putting his nose in the air.) (Yes.) ( Yes :D ) (Mwheheh) * Ashley stops at a crosswalk, looks left, then right, frowns, and then jaywalks against the light. "Got to be close, now..." [Liadan beeps. "Yeah, I guess it would be faerly hard."] ( Two points to Brett ) [She beeps again, "Left from here."] * Lukas follows, doing his best to not step on flowers, saying unconvincingly, "Sure. Nobody's business." * Ashley looks at the tiny doll. "And just how do you know?" [Sarah says nothing now.] [She beeps again. If Ten could giggle she might be doing that. "Google."] * Ten does giggle. "Hey Ashley!" The internet has fae on it now, does it? * Ashley heads left. * Ten doesn't jaywalk, but continues left on he side of the street. (... Confusion. I didn't think Ashley actually _said_ where she was..) (He didn't.) (Yeah.) [You shortly come to a large Victorian-style home squashed between other Victorian style homes, but this one is painted red.] * Togo follows. "Relax, Sarah. We've all had a few nights where we've drunk too much and ended up doing kareoke until dawn with a pair of werebears." *pauses* "Or maybe that's just me." Ah, found it. [Sarah eyes Togo.] ... oh, blast, I don't look hardly myself, do I? Damn. * Lukas snickers to himself. (Togo has the Quote of the Night!) * Togo grins back at Sarah. "I know a really, *really* good bar." * Ashley hops up the steps and knocks smartly. That so sounds like it'd be fun! ["I don't usually drink."] Eh, just tell her about something nobody else knows. Always works. [Liadan beeps. "I got her to, though."] * Lukas walks over near Ten to idle. [Sarah: "Oh, be quiet."] [Meanwhile, nobody comes to the door.] * Ten waits. We could set off fireworks? [Liadan beeps. "Or just knock louder."] She'd better not be out. * Ashley knocks again, louder. [There's a cry from inside. "Yes, yes! I'm coming!" You can hear grumbling behind the door until it opens, and then there's a gorgeous red-headed woman with a pleasant smile on her face. "Why, hello there." She blinks a few times, then shrieks and dashes forward, gripping Ten in a tight hug. "My angel! What are you doing here?"] ( Which Ten? ) ( Big Ten ) * Lukas ... stares. Oh, now this is bloody rich. * Ten acks and tries not to drop her own body. "Hi?" * Alys giggles. [She pulls back a bit and shakes Ten. "Oh, why haven't you called? How are you? Have you been eating right? Who are your friends? Are these your coworkers?"] [Liadan beeps. "Um... Hi mum. We've got a bit of a story for you."] * Ten giggles. "Like, there's been a bit of a mix up." She holds up her own body. "She's in here now." Much as I hate to step between you and your canoodling, Aine, but I need to find Dorhbran.... ... mum? Oh BLOODY christ, you've gone and done it now. * Lukas blinks his eyes and coughs before saying in an amused tone. "Oh man." Canoodling? Do people still say canoodling? [She stares at Liada. "What?" Liadan waves. Then she turns towards Ashley. "Hm? Who are you? How do you know my name?"] * Togo is busying himself munching on some pretzels he purloined from the pub. [She chuckles. "Oh, my daughter must have told you. Silly me."] [She steps inside the house, gesturing. "Oh, do come in. I've got freshly baked cookies!" She vanishes inside, humming happily.] * Alys follows. "I'd like cookies, please!" * Ten walks into the house with Liadan in her arms. "Cookies sound good!" * Ashley follows. "Come off it, love. Who else would know the old names? Ey, Scorcher?" He grins. "Ashley got himself in trouble, apparently with your bleeding daughter. And cookies be damned, I need a drink." [Sarah heads in, too. "She's rather... eccentric. If you hadn't realized."] (And I hope she's the high metabolism type or she's going to kill me for all the sweets.) (She's got to be. She's hot.) * Lukas glances to Ashley then shakes his head and follows with a faint smile of amusement. [She returns with a tray of scrumptious-looking cookies. "Ashley, you say? How is the old bloke?"] (Some hot people aren't the high metabolism type!) (No, no, I was making a fire pun.) ... at the moment, extremely perturbed. (Burn those calories away!) * Togo eyes his pretzels, eyes the cookies, shrugs, downs the pretzels quickly, and makes for the cookies. In a ladylike manner, of course. * Alys takes a cookie and says "Thank you!" before stuffing it in her mouth and taking another one. ["Perturbed? And what do you mean, he's in trouble with my daughter?" She leans close to Ten. "You haven't been doing anything mommy wouldn't approve of with that wily fellow, have you?"] (...Biscuits. Oh well.) * Ashley runs a hand through his hair. "Oh, verily, beset with child, are you? No wonder you and I never had a round in the sack." [Liadan beeps. "No, mom! And I'm over here!"] * Ten makes a grab for the cookies in a most un-ladylike manner, but she does refrain from attempting to stuff the entire thing in her mouth before talking. "Like, I don't think so? I've only been her for less than a day now." [She looks back and forth between the lot of you. "Honestly, what are you fellows on about?"] * Lukas just sorta watches the comedy of errors unfold from a bit behind Ten. "Well, you never know what a mother won't approve of, Ten." Never were the sharpest charcoal... look, love. I'm Ashley. Your daughter the impeccably dressed doll over there. The lass who was in the doll now inhabits your daughter. Bodyswapping, Aine. You remember that night at court, when Robin had that bit of "fun"? * Ten nods and eats the cookie. [Liadan glares at Ashley. "Hey! Watch what you say about my mother!"] ( ... I'm gonna hafta ask Yu about that one. ) ( Er? ) ( *SNERK* ) (Ha!) ( *chuckle* ) ( What did I do, now? ) ( Nothing, which makes it even better. XD) ( bodyswapping for fun, it sounds like ) (Apparently you're the medieval Jack Chalker.) [Aine taps her chin. "Hm? No, can't say I do. I've forgotten most of my former life, you see. The human world is much more interesting."] (Goodfellow, Yu.) ( Ooooh, no you don't. I'm not gonna let you blame this bodyswapping stuff on me. c.c; ) ( I wonder if Brett has a bodyswapping fetish sometimes... does this happen in his games often? ) ( Ars> Yes. ) (Only in MC) (Two out of five I can think of, which isn't a big deal.) * Lukas rolls his eyes, steps forward and strikes out for a cookie. Woo cookie. * Ashley throws up his hands. "You're at least getting the picture, yes?" [They're good cookies!] * Ten finishes the cookie and shifts Liadan onto her left arm. Then she holds out her right hand to Aine. "I'm Ten! It's nice to meet you!" [Sarah speaks, "What he's trying to say, Ms. McCann, is that we're not in our own bodies. I'm Sarah Fallsworth, by the way."] * Lukas just holds his for a sec or three. * Alys takes a third cookie and swallows the second. "I'm Alys Onedyr, these things are great!" [Aine blinks. "Sarah? My, you've certainly... changed, since we last m... wait." She peers at Liadan. "You mean to tell me THIS is my daughter?"] * Togo eats cookies and stays the hfil outta this conversation. [Liadan sighs in exasperation. "Yes."] * Ten beams. "Yep!" * Ashley grabs a cookie. "About bloody time." He stuffs it into his mouth angrily, then the frown fades. "Christ, when did you learn to bake?" It's great time. Now you know why the Ashley-that-isn't wants a drink. [She turns to Ashley. "A young... well, I guess not so young anymore, but a woman named Betty Crocker once taught me."] (You know she never existed, right? ^_~) ( Says YOU. ) ( Or so they WANT US TO BELIEVE. ) ( Coincidense. ...sic ) (in this continuity, she could have ) ["And I'm afraid I gave up drinking when I had my darling little angel. Alcohol is highly flammable, you know."] (A funny coincidence, yes.) * Ten nodnods. * Ashley rolls his eyes. "Trust me, I remember the night in Prague." ( And this one time, in fae camp... ) [She laughs. "Prague! Oh yes, I was on fire that night."] [She sighs, "But I suppose you didn't come here because my daughter was homesick and you wanted to try my baking, did you?"] * Ashley grabs another cookie. "You're not, as the yanks say, whistlin' Dixie. Now that we've got that worked through, I need to get in touch with Dohrbran, and I don't have anywhere near the time to do it the slow way. I was hoping you'd seen him lately." ["Dohrbran? I see, you're hoping he can provide a solution to this little predicament, aren't you?" She pauses then looms at Liadan. "Aren't you?"] [Liadan waves her arms. "Yes! You think I want to be stuck like this?"] It's not that bad. She's got internet access and a cool wardrobe. * Ten nods. "I want to be me again too!" [She shrugs. "Oh well, whatever the case may be, I haven't seen him. Do you want milk with your cookies?"] Yes, please. * Ashley looks crestfallen. "Bollocks." * Lukas glances to Alys then to the MALF. "Fuckin' wonderful." Please! ( The MALF then proceeds to eat a cat. ) (*SNRK*) (Whammo.) [She disappears, returning shortly with a pitcher of milk and several glasses. "Now, now, no need to feel as glum as a coal goblin. I haven't seen him, but I do know someone who has."] * Ashley perks up! "Bloody wonderful.... wait a tic... who?" [By the way, Khalil was there the whole time.] ( "Fae Valentine." "Bollocks." ) (He's just all introspectively buff and stuff.) (You know him.) (I guess so!) * Khalil stands around all introspectively buff and stuff. ["A lovely chap whom I believe you know, Ashley. Goes by the moniker, Tyr?"] (That's the stuff!) * Ten looks around for a flat surface to set Liadon down on so she can have milk and cookies at the same time! [There's a coffee table!] _Elmwalker_? Fantastic! That's just what my week needed, was a touch of manic-depressive. * Alys takes some milk. "Miss, you are the most wonderful mum ever. Could I come over sometime for more snacks, please?" * Khalil glances at Ashley. He hasn't touched his cookies. "Is there something amiss?" ["Well, hopefully he'll be in a manic mood when you see him." She shudders. "Ooh, I'd hate to see him in a depressive mode." She turns to Alys and smiles. "Of course, dear. A friend of my daughter is always welcome in my home."] * Ten walks over to the table and tries to put Liadan down. "I'm gonna have some more cookies an I don't have enough hands to carry you and the cookie and the milk." [Liadan beeps. "Fine."] * Lukas lets Ten walk and stands there all weird and short and stuff. "Just remember to find out where we actually ARE in Wales, Alys." Tyr Elmwalker predates the official recognition of bipolar disorder by about a millennia. But he fits it to an effin' tee. I speak depressive if need be. Oh, right. [Aine chuckles. "Ohoho! Does it ever!"] * Alys turns to Sarah, since she isn't really talking. "So, where are we in Wales, exactly?" When we say "depressive", we mean "doesn't go out of his way to let other people continue living". [Sarah blinks at Alys. "Swansea."] * Ten puts her body on the table and goes to visit her new mom and get milk and cookies. (Sugar > You.) ... ah. That's more depressive than I usually got. Where in Swansea? D'you have a map or an address or something handy? * Lukas chews his cookie fairly idly. "That's okay. That only makes him like 80% of the people we've met this month." * Khalil glances at Togo. He should hope so. [Aine speaks! "Last I remember, he was headed to Scotland. You know, with that carnival of his. Hmph, their bearded lady barely has a few whiskers, though, and their magician just uses smoke and mirrors. A big disappointment, if you ask me."] Great for a drink if you catch him at the right time - he'll buy all night... but - Christ, he still works with that thing? ["Oh yes. He absolutely loves it. Well, if you ask him at the right time. Sometimes it's 'the worst fate one could face'."] Oh, of course. * Ashley stuffs another cookie in his mouth. "Jus' gran'." * Ten eats cookies and drinks milk and doesn't comment. I take it you do not like this situation. Oh, it could be worse. A lead's better than none at all, but we're down to a 50/50 shot. And we have to go to Scotland to get it, to boot. [Aine laughs. "Too true."] [Sarah smiles. "Well, at least I've been there before, too."] * Lukas says with annoyance/exasperation, "There's a lot of Scotland... but I'd go to Finland again if I had to." ["Oh, no, dear. He's not in Finland."] ["Or Norway or Sweden. I can never remember which of those countries is which."] * Ashley grabs a few cookies and stuffs them in the cape pocket. "Hate to eat and run, love, but we're under a little pressure." Swedes were the ones with pikes. * Alys looks panicked. "We're leaving? Now? But there are yummy things!" * Ashley shakes his pocket at Alys. "Grab a few for the road, love." Best mercs of the renaissance, up until the cannon, at which point they resumed being Swedes. ["Already? You don't have to go this very instant, do you?"] * Lukas glances to Togo. "Thanks for the history lesson." * Alys pockets herself some cookies! "You are the brilliantest person ever, thank you so much." [Sarah nods to Ashley. "We should go."] Well, I'd love to stay, but we're not going to shag, and you've got no booze, so there's not much incentive, now is there? * Ashley grins and winks. * Togo shrugs at Lukas. "Military history. Used to read a lot of it." * Ten nods. "Yep! We've gotta put everybody back in the bodies they belong in!" I am not certain if it matters, Togo. [Aine folds her arms. "Hmph! You're the same as ever, Ashley. Fine, go. But if you lay a hand on my daughter someone will have to sweep up what's left of you in a dustbin."] * Lukas smirks. "Funny that the American military man knows more about Sweden than I do." He turns and goes more towards the door first. [Liadan beeps. "Actually, do you mind if I stay here?"] Trust me, Aine, now that I know, she's safe as kittens. I've seen you mad. * Alys walks after Lukas. "Yeah, but who ever bothers to learn about Sweden?" Swedes. I bet even they don't. I know nothing about England, and I'm proud of it. And American military men and women. * Ten hands Aine back the glass and picks up her body. "Bye!" * Lukas waits near the door. "I'm pretty sure they do." (I guess Ten does mind.) [Liadan waves her arms. "Hey! I said I was staying here!"] (Ack! I missed that! Retcon?) ( Nah. Ten was distracted by cookies :P ) * Ten blinks at herself. "Oh! Sorry, your mom makes good cookies. Have fun! We'll come get you when we're ready then!" [Sarah looks a little dazed. "I guess it's not a problem. I can come get you when we're done."] Do we require everyone for the swap? ["Yes, but it's no trouble to come back and pick her up."] We'd still have to come and get me! * Ashley heads to the door. "I'll keep in touch, Aine. Of course, the last time I said as much it was what, 1950?" ["1948, actually."] * Ten takes more cookies for the door. * Lukas looks to TenLiadan. "Yeah, well. Don't do anything big and flashy, huh? It'd be nice if you were still here when we got back." [Sarah starts casting.] [Liadan beeps. "What would I do?"] * Togo rubs his neck. "And here I was starting to feel old in this group..." * Ashley thinks. "Hmm. I was probably still wearing my dress uniform. Now I'm wearing someone else entirely." Uhm, Talk? Try to fly? Like, those wings don't actually work. Just about anything, really. * Lukas waits for the portal to come up. [Sarah finishes casting and opens the door. "This'll take us to Cromarty." ] * Alys walks through, twirling around as she does so. * Lukas turns around and heads in. Without twirling. * Ashley waves. "We'll get this fixed." He walks on through. * Ten munches on a cookie as she walks through the door. [Sarah walks through after, closing the door, and you find yourself in a small room. Looks like a shop. A very specialized shop. As in, they only sell kilts. There's a fourty-year old guy with a balding head, red beard and mustache, a kilt, a beret and pipe.] I'd rather not ask why you've been here. ["What?! I was just window shopping!"] For Herman. ( Ask and you might be kilt. ) For Herman? ["No! I didn't even know Herman at the time."] For yourself then. Kilts! * Alys grins. "I want to see him in a kilt! Does he own one, or should we buy one now?" * Ashley heads for the door. "As enticing as the thought of Herman going regimental is, we've other business to attend to." (Herman needs a black leather kilt with studs in it.) [Sarah groans. "Argh. No, I..." She stops and looks at Alys. "... Hmmm... You know...."] (And if you don't know what "going regimental" is, think The Scotsman.) * Lukas smirks to himself and walks. "You don't know his size anyway." (She IS his size.) * Ten nods. "We've got his body right here!" (She is.) (I wonder if she's doing research.) * Alys walks up to the store-guy. "Excuse me, do you have a catalogue I could take?" [She stands there for a little bit, then sighs and follows them out. "Fine."] * Ten walks past Alys. "I betcha they've got one online!" [He winks at Alys. "Aye, lass. Take one! They're free." Actually, he doesn't wink, his face is just such that he can't open one eye without shutting the other.] * Khalil shakes his head slowly and then walks out too. * Alys takes one and pockets it. "Thanks!" She runs out after everyone else. * Togo wanders out. [It doesn't exactly 'pocket' very well...] (I have a backpack to annoy me about storing it in!) (Not even with folding?) (Point!) * Alys walks up to Lukas and attempts to unzip his backpack and stick the catalogue in. [You go outside! Cromarty is a small town with a major street running through it, and not many minor streets. It's built at the tip of a peninsula, so you get a lovely view of water.] * Lukas looks over his shoulder and turns around, pulling the backpack away. "Hey, no surprise gifts!" Aw, come on! You want to see Pipe Guy in a kilt too, don't you? * Ten looks confused for a moment. [Sarah steps out. "If you must know, I did some training here when I was younger.] I'll be back in my old body by then, so I have no objections to this. *smirks* ... I refuse to answer on the grounds that Herman might hear about it. So... can I take advantage of your wonderful backpack? * Lukas pauses an odd second, then sighs. "Fine, fine." * Alys grins, puts the catalogue in the backpack, then hugs Lukas quickly and just as quickly is ten feet away from him. * Lukas gets hugged, which is a little awkward for him considering how short he is, then looks up at Alys. "Uh. You're welcome?" [Session End!]
