h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I... just hope things get... well not back to normal but somewhere close would be nice

*she looks over at him. Her hand twitches as if it wants to take his.*

We can only hope.

*rests his hand on her sholder for a moment hoping to be reassuring*

*Enters*

Welcome back Elandra

*Smiles sarcastically*

And you are.........?

We have a problem with Lumien, she's been drugged and she no longer knows who she is, she thinks she's a child of sixtieen

*walks in*
*smiles weakly*

I'll be back soon,
I need to go sort something out
I trust... you two will be fine....

sometimes those you need the most are those you push the furthest away
but from here it looks like you two are friends again
I'm happy for you

*leaves again*

*Comes in holding her head.*

I mean, someone was /in/ there and spoke to me... it was so strange...

Anne, this is Lady Elandra she's the Head of the Magician's Guild, she was the one in your head

And you're /sure/ I'm not going crazy...

No you are not going crazy

*Elandra glances at Shaylar with a mixture of relief and annoyance, then turns to Lumien*

Lumien, I'm Elandra Pawel. I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm a Magician, and I sent out a message that you picked up.

*To Shaylar* ~~When did this happen? Do you know how? And...and do you know what is going on in the dining hall? I'm here now. I'll do what I must.~~

~~She was persuing something in the slums, her apprentices found her unconsious and brought her to the hall, she woke up and was convinced her name was Anne and she was 16 years old, we found a puncture wound on her arm and one of her apprentices found a syringe. A crow with a message on it's leg flew into the dining hall, the message warned of danger so I summond what mages we have left to meet me there, then I got your message summoning us to meet you here~~

We are few in number now, we have been attacked several times, the Army from Lupisberg is here to protect us by invitation of myself and Lord Wolf as we do not have much of an army left, I have not seen Lord Wolf, His brother Lord Thurin, Lady Aalyia or Lord Craxus for many many months, Lord Lycan and Lady Alicia have been missing since the last battle, but are now back I see, I have been the only member of the High Council in fully control of her faculties for the last week. I am so please you're back Elandra

*walks back in*
We've not been missing, just away
I've had personal affairs to see to

although it is a sorry state of affairs to come and learn we cant even defend ourselves anymore.

*sits down and a moment later a heavy book lands in her lap*
*just afterwards an orange tabby cat obliges itself by jumping ontop of the book*

*looks at the cat*
look... If you need to follow me around you could at least stop being so silly

*cat takes no notice and makes itself comfortable*
cats.... your not even a real cat!

*cat starts to purr*

for goodness sake your a thousand years old!

*gives in and starts to stroke the cat*

~~Shaylar. I am so glad to come back and find you...as yet unchanged. Too much has happened in my absence.

Crow?~~

Alicia. Did you send a crow here warning about the dragon?

There's something growing, Lady Shaylar. There was a dragon-demon that this...preist took care of. I think Lycan and Alicia know more of that than I.

There's a twisted thing in Lycan's form, too. I don't know how it was formed. But when I gave chase to it, he - it - melted into the shadows and I lost it. *her face darkens.*

oh... no that would have been the abbot...

crows....
are easaly distracted

*she sighs* Alicia, this is no time for half-truths and shadow-talk. Speak plainly.

Elandra I am speaking planly
if you must no
No I didnt send the crow the abbot did that I wouldnt send any sort of crow not after loosing quoth...
I've lost quite enough already if thats alright with you

as for the shadow I found something in the book, something that happened a long time ago before the alliance was founded... something like this happened... there was a shadow person but it was female and most likely to have been an elf from the records that I have but it dosnt say what became of her, exept that she killed her... more real self in order to regain the memories that she was missing

*She nods tightly*

Then Lycan must keep an eye out for himself. Though if we can draw the shadow out, we might be able to kill it. Would your necromancry powers have any hold over it?

only a little,
he's not a full deamon so theres little I can do
I can take deamons from hell and back again
but humans... humans I cant do
kill them yes
but I have a feeling we dont want to get rid of the little humanity that thing has

If he's more human than demon, then we'll draw him out and I'll kill him myself. If all that's left is the evil inside of him, then you can purify him.

*there's a pause and she tries to shake the bloodlust from her. There's a moment of silence.*

We need to train people. Lumien's problem needs to be addressed, but right now when it's still quiet we have to concentrate on making our apprentices able to defend themselves.

I'll talk to the King -

Who is King?

no-one at the moment
there was a.... complication with him not naming an heir and all
theres more than one interested party
so...
technically speaking
right now, the city's yours
