(ooc: Sorry, I don't get it... )

Gasping, she lifts her hand to examine the sparkling diamond ring ~ "You must have spent a fortune, Larry... I... I'm sorry... but I... thank you." ~ She flings her arms around his neck and buries her head against his chest ~

Who cares about the others in this room?... I know what I want, and let them see it if they wish... ~ She begins to murmur ~ "I don't really wish to have to use it, Larry... all I want is a peacful life with you..." ~

Overcome by the assault of intensive emotions, she falls silent, resting against his shoulder.

(ooc: Are you logging off soon, Larry?)

[Larry_OHF]

OOC>>>Were you serious about not understanding the little joke? In response to your question, yes...I need to go now. Mary-beth has been sick, and when a 16 month old cannot sleep due to frustrations of a head-cold...NOBODY SLEEPS! All blinking night = "wahhh, wahhh, wahhh!" She is doing it now! She will be doing it when my head is under my pillow trying to drown out the noise! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRR... .
bye, y'all...

[SSJ4Sephiroth]

ooc: G'night Larry! Hope that Mary-Beth gets over her cold soon... see ya!

Sephi takes this as his queue to exit. Taking Jaclyn under his arm, he walks out the door, closing it gently so as to not distrub Larry and Mistral's special moment together.

The night is cold, and Sephi pulls Jaclyn tighter to keep her from shivering. They didn't have any idea where they were going, but direction soon found Sephi as he realized he would be entering the Temple District in a few more minutes. He decided to head for the temple of Corellon Larethian, hoping to see if they would still honor their right to be married.
Sephi, why are we heading for that temple? We aren't going to be wed now, are we?
Of course not right now! We're going to wait until our friends will be there to see us too... I just want to see if they'll still honor our right to each other in the temple of the Elven God. They pulled each other even closer as they reached the borders of the Bridge District.
They were almost to their destination when out of the shadows came what appeared to be a common cutpurse. I think you've picked the wrong day to mess with the wrong couple, buddy.
I think not. He clapped his hands, shooting off a spell of Dispel Magic, revealing a rather large group of thieves. I think we've picked a very appropiate target, if you ask me. The thieves backed the couple up against the wall, surrounding them.

i think i'll be going to bed now too... i need sleep dearly now, and i just killed a large mutant-bug that was crawling on my bare back and heading south! well, g'night!

[Neb]

Neb could feel the poison burning in his veins as he and the freed prisoners headed for the armory to collect some weapons so that they could avenge their imprisonment and the death of friends at the hands of these fiends, Neb felt dizzy and nauseous and began walking slower until he was at the back of the group, he threw up in an alcove and hurried back up to the others, the resulting dizzyness almost making him fall, Dahr noticed his discomfort and slowed down to walk besides him, "What's wrong?" he asked, Neb kept quiet, merely inclining his head towards the wound on his shoulder where the poisoned dagger had struck him, Dahr examined the wound and said, "Razorvine, you'll be lucky to survive for five hours if you don't get a priest to cure you." "I'll be fine," responded Neb, "Just as soon as I get my hands on the creature that's leading these assasins and mind flayers." Dahr looked at him saying nothing and then hurried back up to the front of the group.

[Kaz]

OOC: Sorry I haven't been on. My computer is having serious problems. By now, I cross my fingers every time it loads a page, and I'm not expecting this to go through. I'll download some anti-virus software right away, I just hope the computer doesn't decide to explode...
Cautiously entering the door, Kaz walked along a corridor. It was dark and musty. Hurrying along, she almost tripped over the corpse of what seemed to be a mind flayer. One of its hands was severed, and there was blood and ichor all over the place. Kaz gagged and walked on, looking away from the thing.

[Larry_OHF]

"I also hope that it is never needed, but always good to be prepared. I do not know what our future will hold. I still have Maverick to worry about, as well as whatever else gets thrown at us.
Life is very unsure in these days, with no promise of a happy, peaceful future. Yet, I will at least have one solid foundation in the fury of this storm. That is you."

[Kaz]

Kaz hurried along deserted corridors. Coming to a fork, she stopped. Where to next? Suddenly Zephyra squeaked behind her. Kaz turned around. Zephyra was looking very ill and weak, her wings hanging limply to the ground. She gestured towards the corridor to the right, sloping downwards. She tried to fly up, but her wings wouldn't carry her. Kaz picked her up and frowned. What is happening to her?
Neb has been poisoned, Aerynkoryk informed her. Zephyra is reacting. Kaz winced, imagining Neb lying dying in a corridor somewhere. She touched the antidote in her belt. We have to hurry. Kaz set Zephyra on her shoulder and sprinted down the corridor.

[Neb]

Neb and his companions stood over the bodies of five dead guards, they opened the door to the armory and started gathering up their equipment which had been stored here when they were captured, while Neb was picking up his things he cut himself on something hidden inside on of his extra robes, it was a short sword's blade, made of mithril and adamantium, Dahr saw it and quickly searched through his backpack, pulling out the hilt of a short sword he handed it to Neb and said, "I see you have the blade of the sword known as Swift Vengeance, here is the hilt, I give it to you for helping me in the past." Neb put the blade to the hilt and they instantly fused together, Neb hadn't found the Boneblade among his things and was glad to have a new sword, gathering up the rest of his things he joined his friends and moved on towards the center of the temple, the poison rapidly eating him up, he knew that he wouldn't live for more than a few more hours, enough time to kill those who had captured him.

[Kaz]

Kaz reached a corner, panting. Up ahead she could see figures. Was Neb among them? Zephyra squeaked, Kaz took that as yes. Kaz walked forward silently, hoping not to startle anyone.

(ooc: The server is really slow... 12 mins to even get into post reply page... I am going back to bed after this one. Go ahead without me for the rest of today, everyone; I will probably not be able to catch much live action)

Seeing that Sephi and Jacly have left the tavern and that they are quite alone, she replies ~ "Have I ever told you about my past, Larry? It is a long story..." ~ With that, she reveals her family history and all her contacts with her parents, in both physical and dream forms.

"I sense that Spree will eventually come after me for the part my father somehow played in the murder of her family. Perhaps I will not survive such an encounter... I only know that what is important is the present, and every second of it counts." ~ She gazes at him, her hands straightening the collar of his shirt ~ "I love you, Larry, with all my heart and soul... if I should die now, I would die the happiest woman on earth, for you have expressed your wish to marry me..." ~

Blinking back her tears, she continues ~ "If Maverick ever comes for you and I am still around, I will die for you if I have to." ~ Closing her eyes, she rests against his shoulders again ~ "Promise me that no matter what happens, you will be strong... and that you will live on, with or without me..." ~ Why does it hurt so much, thinking of the future? Why do I keep thinking of it, despite all that I say?...

She can say no more, and gives him such a tight embrace as to squeeze his breath out ~ This could well be one of our last chances to be together alone... ~ With that, the tears that she has tried so hard to avoid shedding since her return from her ancestral home begins to stream down her cheeks.
