Blank nodded his thanks to the bard, and as an added bonus, he spoke the famous words as well. "Thanks, Arco," came the startled reply. Normally, when tapped on the shoulder, a shocking fist was to be expected. The Ornery Antics, as he had come to refer to it as. Instead, there stood Arco, presenting the Arctic Seeds to him in a kindly manner. He placed the seeds in the pocket of his pants, feeling the cool aura on his left leg. Of course, this was becoming uncomfortable by the second. The balance of heat in his body was becoming far too... inconvenient. His right leg now felt hot. Only one way to settle this! he thought, reaching into his pocket for half of the received seeds, planning on placing the handful in his other pocket. Alas, the idea was just plain childish. Blank grabbed all of the seeds and pocketed them, this time in his newly obtained Hakiem Robe.

He then tuned out the actions of the others, leaning against a wall and closing his eyes. He did this often; it was his own way of reserving strength and stamina for when they were actually necessary. There was never a point in being fully awake when not truly needed, so the ex-Knight had learned to sleep not only in a proportion better described as half-awke - or half-asleep, mind you.

OOC: I recently purchased Exeptioanal Health(LV2) Alpha, does that purchase count to my current ammount of health? Like say for example I am at 15/20HP. I purchase 30+HP so does it change to 15/50 or 45/50?

Rose speaks up. "If everyone is ready, we should get a move on."

OOC: Okay, I think it's time we move on, huh? Come on, Alpha. Toss us the next challenge already.

OOC: Nogare, I think I was referring to my earlier ooc comment about college.

ZF, I think that (assuming you get to upgrade your HP in the middle of this event ) he'll add the +30 to both your existing and total HP... not that it matters, since we're all at full health right now, anyway.

OOC: Speaking of health, I didn't say it before, but I did get L1 Exceptional Health, so my HP is 41, not 31. And how much magic does Scroll of Fire use?

OOC: Okay, thanks for clearing that up, I realized Dogura would be easily finished off, so I fortified that weakness. Next purchase will be dual wield, because it would just be plain awesome to attack with two daggers at once Ohhh the attack/strategy possibilities...

IC: Dogura let out a long held sigh of dismay as he finished searching the pockets for loot. He hadnt found anything but some pocket lint and a dead insect. He had hoped to find even a single rupee, but he realized he should be grateful for his life after the Dyquis encounter. Dogura heard roses comment, that didnt seem to be directed at anyone in peticular. He too was getting impatient as to when they would move on. "Shada. The group is itching to leave this wardrobe, everyone has a robe, even-" He stopped in mid sentence to turn around and stare at the deku who was getting inside his robe. "-Even grenada is fitted." he finished. "We should get a move on soon. Do you think they have realized we escaped yet? All it would take is a glance inside our cell, before the entire place would be on high alert." Dogura stated in a slightly uncomfortabe tone. He fumbled around with his weapons, waiting for the next order.

OOC: .... Oh. Ok.

So, are my quote names getting annoying? I don't want to make enemies or anything using them so much...

OOC: Sorry. Had to go meet with some friends, and...well, let's say the meeting went on a lot longer than planned. Amazing how easily two hours stretches into four.

Responses on the way.

OOC: No problem, Nogare ^^. Teasing is what makes the OOC action fun!

OOC: great to see you back Alpha. Have fun catching up on it all

IC: Dogura could tell Shada's gears were turning in her head. He hadnt thought about it, but it must be difficult always having to lead everyone. Stressful too. Dogura lightly smiled at Shada. Perhaps he should ease up a bit on her. She was doing the best she could, and everyone was being a little tough on her. Dogura shifted his weight to his right side, and leaned against the wall, waiting for orders.

Zelda Veteran wrote:"Are you sure we wont look suspiciouse? Could we possibly walk through a crowd of Hakiem without being noticed?"

Shada bites her lips at Dogura's question. "Well...if all of us were Sheikah, then we probably could. As a group, however..." she slowly shakes her head. "No, not if they took time to analyze us and our movements. From a distance, we could easily pass as Hakiems; the same would be true if the examiners were really busy and didn't focus on us."

She grins. "As long as we avoid a tight group of them, we oughta be fine."

Blank Fireside wrote:"If memory serves, the Moreks will attack those who don't show pity to their agony. But we do! We all know it's terrible for them to be in such pain, and we all feel badly for them. With that reasoning, will they still want us, the sympathetic passers-by, to feel the same torture?"

"That may be true, Blank, but the Moreks aren't mind-readers. If we approach them without something to prove our sympathy with, they'll bite first and ask questions never."

weienw wrote:"Grenada--this might fit you. I suppose the Hakiems don't exclude very short Sheikah; or, did Alpha mention something about them occasionally including people of other races provided that they are of exceptional merit?"

"That's true, Arco. Though such a sight is rare, it is not unheard of. I think that as long as you stay underneath the robe, Grenada, they won't take notice of you. Though to be safe, we might want to form a sort of circle, with you in the middle."

You're in college, Weien? What year are you? I start college a week from tomorrow, so I eat up all info I can get about it.

Hey! That's my idea!!!

Shada nods. "Alright then, if everyone's cloaked and ready, then let's get going!"

OOC: Well, that took some time. Alright, someone RP leaving the room. This post is already long enough as it is.

And, I feel some need to point something out. I have now obtained...Level 10. *Pride-alert! code red!!!*

OOC: Yeay!

You're in college, Weien? What year are you? I start college a week from tomorrow, so I eat up all info I can get about it.

OOC: The cakewalk was the sarcasm part ^^. I'm sort of finishing second year... it's hard to explain, and my experiences probably won't help you much, since I'm at a Junior/community college near where I live (so I'm staying at home, etc).

Hey! That's my idea!!!

Yeah, I was hoping that no one would notice that I stole it from you . Hey, but I did say "initiate" member, right?

Oh, and congratulations on Level 10! *music*

Rose leads the way out of the room, heading back to the Moreks room. "How do we show our sympathy?" she asks.

OOC: There's a Level 10?!

OOC: I'm at 9 Oh well. You're a good One TP ahead of me, or so...

IC: Blank, having had enough of this, resumed his attentive breathing and body movements, this time walking through the door, down the hallway, and back to the familiar Piranhell chamber. Or at least, it would have been familiar. It was slightly colder now, and the water - floor, as it were - was still frozen into a thick sheet of ice.

He made his way across the ice, slipping occasionally, but glad that the group was on their way again. As he neared the central platform, he leaped, landing on the stone floor and feeling relieved that the ice was behind him. One problem, however; it was ahead of him as well. He stared at the frozen floor, bereft of the bridge that once hung over the water. He recalled how he was the one to almost fall to a Piranhell fate, and he shuddered at the memory. Close call, he though. The coldness of the room sent shivers up his spine, and his breath was now visible in a fog form, disappearing shortly after being emitted. He stepped out onto the ice again, sliding to the next door, and opening it. He glanced back at the others, and stepped through.

Of course, he was merely following Rose; he was never one to butt ahead of a leading lady. The outcome was normally dangerous.
