[20:55] Session Ident: Cicada (Hikari@62.79.87.182.ppp1-4.vir.tiscali.dk)
[20:55] <Cicada> Should I play Sanyet when Jyn busts out?
[20:55] <Storyteller> well if you really want to. I had expected him to stay here.
[21:01] <Cicada> In the Manse?
[21:01] <Storyteller> yes.
[21:01] <Cicada> That would be very, very risky...
[21:01] <Storyteller> indeed.
[21:01] <Cicada> Getting him out of reach of Bloom seems wise.
[21:02] <Storyteller> very wise. we shall see if you convince him to leave <or not>
[21:02] * Cicada would get Arianna out too if she could... Unfortunately the two of them are still attached.
[21:03] <Storyteller> yes....
[21:03] <Cicada> The arguments are simple. We work here to create a place where he can live even if he should become a sid. I need him later - preferably alive.
[21:04] <Cicada> And most importantly. Get the hell out or I kill you.
[21:04] <Storyteller> yes. you will have this argument with him. then we will see if he leaves ^_^
[21:05] <Cicada> Better hurry... his train is about to go...
[21:05] <Storyteller> he isn't going with jynaru.
[21:05] <Cicada> What?
[21:05] <Storyteller> :)
[21:05] <Cicada> That would be the safest way, would it not?
[21:05] <Storyteller> maybe.
[21:06] <Cicada> Besides, that way I could get Kylara out too.
[21:06] <Cicada> Have Sanyet tell him where Kylara is since Cicada cannot.
[21:07] * Storyteller nods. Sanyet, however, is being stubborn.
[21:07] <Cicada> Sanyet, is being stupid.
[21:07] <Cicada> Idiot men...
[21:09] <Storyteller> we are all alike.'
[21:10] * Cicada will if nesecessary have armwrestled the idiot out.
[21:10] <Storyteller> i am aware of that.
[21:12] <Cicada> It is just that Bloom is in no way going to let a possible way to 'make sure of Cicada's loyalty' walk away.
[21:12] <Storyteller> exactly.
[21:12] <Storyteller> Do you want to do the scene?
[21:12] <Cicada> He needs a good powerful escort like Jyn to get him out.
[21:13] * Storyteller nods.
[21:13] <Cicada> Yes, why do you think Sanyet went to see Jyn?
[21:13] * Storyteller doesn't know. However, it's likely not what you thought. Lets start where you tell sanyet to go, hmm?
[21:14] <Cicada> As in "We follow the plan. You get out! Save me later!"
[21:14] <Storyteller> yes.
[21:14] <Storyteller> Sanyet is in his apartment.
[21:15] <Storyteller> The door is not locked, and he is standing near a round table where there is a kettle of tea; still hot.
[21:16] <Storyteller> two china cups are steaming, in any case.
[21:16] * Cicada just nods the signal they decided to him. cannot speak, they might be watched.
[21:17] <Storyteller> he smiles and shakes his head. "I've had time to ward this room."
[21:18] * Cicada then sits by the table, expecting him to slip out.
[21:18] * Cicada quirks an eyebrow.
[21:18] <Cicada> "So that is why Bloom hardly even talks to me. He thinks I am keeping secrets."
[21:18] * Cicada stands up and grabs Sanyet by the collar.
[21:19] <Cicada> "And you are in my way to get to him. No wonder he doesn't look in my direction with a mere mortal hanging around me!"
[21:19] <Storyteller> Sanyet steps back. "He said I could."
[21:19] <Cicada> "I have had just about enough of your whining."
[21:20] * Cicada drags him to the door.
[21:20] <Storyteller> "Look, I know your worried. ok? Just sit down and relax...... argh!"
[21:20] * Cicada opens the door to push him out. "Get out! And act like a mortal around your betters!"
[21:21] <Storyteller> *Sanyet stands up and pushes you back in. "Get out? If you want me to get out, you'er going to have to sit down and tell me how to get out! Why do you think I bothered? Hmm?"
[21:23] <Storyteller> "Or did Jynaru tell you he was going to try to break free?"
[21:23] <Cicada> "Why do you think? Ding, ding? Something about a better being being here for me? Maybe I should just have you join Jynaru? See you in the torture chambers too?"
[21:24] <Cicada> "I might enjoy that. Certainly could be fun."
[21:24] <Storyteller> <shuts the door behind him> "Cicada, you're angry. And you don't know what you're saying. Please. Sit down. Talk. I want to say goodbye to the real you before I go."
[21:25] * Cicada looks at him, emotions warring inside him.
[21:25] <Cicada> (her)
[21:26] <Storyteller> *he takes her hand. "You owe me that much."
[21:26] * Cicada then stands up on her toes to kiss him.
[21:28] <Storyteller> *Sanyet takes you into his arms and kisses you ack. For a moment, and then he slowly leads you back to the table. He pulls his chair over and sits with you, one arm over your shoulder. "I can't go with jynaru. He's going to have troubles getting out. There's another way."
[21:28] <Storyteller> he smiles "Hows the baby?"
[21:29] * Cicada dries away tears from her eyes. "She is coming along fine. I wish you could see her birth... but... Anyway, I take her to the highest towers every day to let her feel the wind..."
[21:29] <Cicada> "That actually makes her dance with joy inside my womb..."
[21:29] <Cicada> "Sanyet... get out of here... just get out."
[21:30] <Cicada> "I can't have you here... You're in the way. And you know it."
[21:31] <Storyteller> "I know." he strokes your back. "If you really want me to go, I'll go. I promise."
[21:31] <Storyteller> he smiles and reaches across the table for his cup. "It's getting cold."
[21:31] <Cicada> "Leave."
[21:32] <Cicada> "There is nothing more to be said between us."
[21:32] * Cicada turns away.
[21:33] <Storyteller> "Cicada..." he stops, looking hurt. "I just want to help."
[21:33] <Cicada> "You are not helping me here."
[21:33] <Storyteller> "I know. we've talked about this already."
[21:34] <Storyteller> "It's your favorite kind."
[21:35] <Storyteller> he touches your hair gently.
[21:35] <Storyteller> "Do you want me to take Puuhda with?"
[21:36] <Cicada> "Good. Then you know I have no further use of your weak mortal body. Get out and let me have the things I deserve. Or stay, and I will make you very, very sorry."
[21:36] <Cicada> "Your bags are on the table outside."
[21:36] <Storyteller> Now he turns away. "They can't hear you cicada. Why do you have to say that, they can't hear you."
[21:36] * Cicada is still turned away, clearly suppressing a shudder and maybe a sob at sanyet's touch.
[21:38] * Cicada just sits silently looking out the window at all the other parts of the manse visible from here.
[21:38] <Storyteller> you can hear sanyet stand behind you.
[21:40] <Storyteller> "I shouldn't leave now. Jynaru will make a scene. They will look for me. And Kylara. And you. They'll know we are gone and cause trouble. I know all of this, Cicada, and there's a reason. A reason I'm not going to tell you. But, goodbye. I wish it didn't have to remeber you like this."
[21:40] <Storyteller> He takes a few steps and stops.
[21:40] <Storyteller> "Enjoy your tea."
[21:40] <Storyteller> then he opens the door.
[21:40] <Storyteller> *away!
[21:41] * Cicada sits silently - the most difficult thing she has ever done in her life.
[21:41] <Cicada> (his bags contain Puuhda who is curious why he is there, but trusts Sanyet much. And a note.)
[21:41] <Storyteller> heh.
[21:42] <Storyteller> drink your tea?
[21:44] <Cicada> <note> "Puuhda wil go with you. You can always see how I feel, and if i am well on his mood. His love for you is my love for you. Do what you must. Get the others, come back for me. I will be waiting." (cont.)
[21:44] <Storyteller> aww
[21:46] <Cicada> "I will wait even if my heart forgets you. Even through any hex and charm you will be there inside me, inside my soul. Never doubt that. Reemeber, I need you. And I pray you need me. And that you can forget your miserable wife what she has to do. As long as my cursed heart allow me, I will speak to you on the wind." (cont.)
[21:47] <Cicada> "So, be that wind, my love and my life. Rush north and then bring me back a new spring - one for both of us to enjoy together. Us and little Arianna.  - Eternally your wife Cicada"
[21:48] <Storyteller> :O
[21:48] <Storyteller> poor sanyet.
[21:50] <Storyteller> he is gone now, and who knows when he reads it? but that is not much. Minutes pass after he leaves. What do you do?
[21:50] * Cicada turns to taste her tea. Then picks up her harp to play. She is supposed to be happy, not drying.
[21:51] <Cicada> (crying :)
[21:51] <Storyteller> heh..
[21:51] <Storyteller> roll essence
[21:51] <Storyteller> !ex 8
[21:51] <Cicada> !ex 3
[21:51] <Storyteller> Cicada (3) 6, 7, 2, Successes : 1
[21:52] <Storyteller> crazy dices......
[21:55] <Storyteller> still it comes out. 
[21:55] <Storyteller> sanyet helped you in his own way.
[21:55] <Cicada> Ah, now i know! Voices on the Wind!
[21:55] <Storyteller> You no longer remember him.
[21:56] <Cicada> (oh, crap... then I cannot use Voices on the Wind to chat :)
[21:56] <Storyteller> nope ^_^
[21:56] <Cicada> (oh well, find somewhere else for those 10 xp :)
[21:57] * Cicada puts down her teacup wondering why her cheeks are wet with tears.
[21:58] <Storyteller> it's a mystery. suddenly those thoughts are washed away when a loud gong is sounded. The entire castle reverberates with the force of the soud.
[21:58] * Cicada then remembers, she loves that spiritual advisor so much. She feels the stirrings insdide her whenever she sees him, even just by thinking of him. He lights a flame unmatched in her heart. Even if he is a monster, then he is wonderful, lovable, everything she needs.
[21:59] * Cicada blinks and stands.
[21:59] <Storyteller> the china rings sympathetically to the sound.
[21:59] <Cicada> "An alarm?"
[21:59] <Storyteller> there are no other sounds.
[22:00] * Cicada knows this signal?
[22:00] <Storyteller> it is not a signal.
[22:01] <Storyteller> upon thinking of it it sounded like there were three or four gongs in rapid succession but the overall vibration was impossible to miss.
[22:04] <Cicada> (So, it was the ward going down?)
[22:05] <Storyteller> that was jynaru knocking down the prison walls.
[22:05] <Cicada> (Ah :)
[22:05] <Cicada> (Such immaculate timing)
[22:06] <Storyteller> yes, such is fate....'
[22:07] <Cicada> (The "other reason" Sanyet spoke of, can you tell me about it or should I just wring my hands for months?)
[22:07] <Storyteller> yes, yes, just wring your hands for months :)
[22:08] <Cicada> (heh, bastard)
[22:08] <Storyteller> ^_^

[22:23] <Cicada> Sure. Can I get my master to give me a Virtuos Guardian of Flame?
[22:24] <Storyteller> no time
[22:24] <Storyteller> he's still being called.
[22:24] <Storyteller> Green Snow Blossom will do it though.
[22:25] <Cicada> Yay!
[22:25] <Storyteller> VGOF!
[22:25] <Storyteller> make your apperance when you please.
[22:25] <Cicada> I will.
[22:27] <Cicada> Had hoped to avoid the break-up scene.
[22:27] <Cicada> Still, it was nice drama.
[22:28] <Storyteller> yea. he decided to help you, so no more memory of him... worse still, he might actually *stay*
[22:28] <Storyteller> but he's running fast enough.
[22:29] <Cicada> Yea, cannot remember him = no constant shouting at him to BLOODY LEAVE. 
[22:29] <Storyteller> indeed.
[22:33] <Storyteller> wanna teleport outside the walls?
[22:34] <Cicada> Can that even be done? 
[22:34] <Cicada> I was considering waiting on the wall or something.
[22:34] <Storyteller> sure, they have teleports. they can teleport you anywhere in a 50 mile radius.
[22:34] <Cicada> Fine, but going alone seems a little... suicidal.
[22:35] <Storyteller> if it gets too bad they'll pull you out.
[22:36] <Storyteller> do you want to appear or me describe you?
[22:38] <Cicada> Got a good place to put me?
[22:38] <Storyteller> sure, be inside the wall.. it'll take him two turns to get through the wall, anyhow.
[22:39] <Cicada> Okay.
