Shen's Quest IC, OMG I'm running for Emo Samurai... Options

[emo samurai]

"It went as well as can be expected. She was reticent before, but now seems to know what she wants, at least a little."

[Ophis]

"Well that helps. What do you fancy eating? Wildchild gets kinda cranky if he has to decide what we eat."

[emo samurai]

"I'm allergic to soy... almost fatally so. And MSG. And almost anything artificial... Do you have any organic foods?"

[Ophis]

"Not in but I know a couple of places that deliver. Any preference on cuisine?"

[emo samurai]

"I cook Chinese every day. Anything else is fine."

[Ophis]

"Cool I'll call out for real Pizza. Your cool with anchovies right?"

[emo samurai]

"I am fine with that. I have never eaten that before, and that is all the more reason to eat it."

[Ophis]

The two of you are joined by Wildside and after a little while by both the girls. Then pizza arrives and pizza is good. Once you've eaten all of you relax a little, "Do we all drink?" asks Wildside.

[emo samurai]

"As long as it has not a molecule of soy, I will do so."

[Ophis]

The girls nod affirmation and Wildside searches the kitchen for a little while, and seems pleased when he finds a decent drinks cabinet, once he has passed out what people want he settles down and snuggles up to Cheerleader.

[emo samurai]

Shen raises his glass as a toast. "To closure, personal growth, and pending, well-deserved deaths."

[Ophis]

The others join your toast, though the two girls seem slightly confused by the wording. Cheerleader grins at it.

You eat and can relax for an evening, Wildside periodically disappears to check the surrounding area for problems. Cheerleader will tell you to go to bed eventually assuring you that she and Wildside will keep things secure. She also mentions that a teacher for Hannah has been found and that you can escort her their tomorrow or the day after if you want.

[emo samurai]

Shen tells her that would be perfectly fine, asks her permission to call a bound fire spirit to patrol the area at night, and goes to sleep.

[Ophis]

She's cool with that.

[emo samurai]

[ Spoiler ]

It's a bound spirit, the one that he called in the car, so there's no roll.

[Ophis]

[ Spoiler ]

cool cross off the service.

[emo samurai]

Shen falls asleep dreaming of Ai, of their childhoods spent together, with the times they snuck out in the middle of the night and shared stories over a magical mindlink and watched as he played them out with his illusion magic. Perhaps he sheds a tear.

[Ophis]

The night passes fairly peacefully for Shen apart from his dreams. In the morning he will awaken to the smell of bacon wafting up from the kitchen.

[emo samurai]

Shen wakes up and meditates for about 15 minutes, holding the image of a perfect black circle in his mind until it expands to cover his entire vision.

He dresses himself in whatever he took over during his flight from the first safe house and makes his way to the kitchen.

"Good morning. Hmm... bacon. I've been meaning to try that myself. Smells very good."

[Ophis]

"Mornin'" says Wildchild who appears to be doing the cooking, sadly he hasn't put on a frilly apron, "Cheerleader's still snoozin you got bout three hours till your flight, private hauler if you get my meaning."

[emo samurai]

"I do.

"Any word on Kratos?"

[Ophis]

"Not at the mo. Barman's going to war with the man. Problem will be solved."

[emo samurai]

"That's good to hear.

"Where's Hannah?"

[Ophis]

"Sleeping still. Rachel is in the shower. How do you like your eggs?"

[emo samurai]

"Sunny side up. It's as close as I can get to having it raw without losing the fried egg taste."
