Okay...
Hmm...why am I now thinking of Ash and the Deadites...

...
Groovy...
Hail to the King of 1980's Horror!

Unfortunately, Na'lsa has not reached his misinterpreted godhood yet. What you see now is his version of 'playing dead', or at least attempting to look non threatening.

And on the subject of Narnia...

I saw the first movie, back when I was a kid. Christmas is looming, and I never know what I friggin want. So, everyone is asking what I want for said day. I say, "I dunno, I guess the Narnia books might be okay?" However, this was heard as "Please buy me every single thing that involves Narnia and that damn lion". I got 2 sets of the books. I got books about the books. I received a book that was about the books that were about the books. And I never opened them. Just...no.

But it was too hard to pass up using an anagram for a demon believing himself to be the Messiah while infesting a man literally named 'Lion' who hails from the Tsavo region in Kenya which experienced a legendary attack from lions slaughtering scores of people. Too hard to pass up.

And truth be told, it does appear that some sort of conflict is about to happen. Or better yet...

There's still some meat on that dog, isn't there?

Entering inquiry: What is Meat?

Rurik is pure robot, bonded to Kadia's soul. Most you'll get will be lethal doses of medicines and electricity.

I'm just wondering when/what Diogenes will answer Kadia.

I need to talk to Salone before I post again, but he'll likely tell her, sure it's possible, but she heard Thomas, he's an Incarnation of a primal sin. Good luck binding him now that she's the most powerful theurgist in the party. (is what he'd say)

Na'lsa is a very...physical being. Lev's body belongs to him as much as it does Lev himself. He's been dormant for a long time. Oh, he's stirred. He has murmured to Lev and conversed, but now he is fully realized. Fully awake. Simply banishing him away would be like trying to pull a row of hooks from the gill of a fish. It can be done, but laborious and requiring finesse.

That, and removing him from his current 'dominant' status undoes the repair to Lev's brain, which has experienced severe hemorrhaging from the extreme amount of snake venom. Or at least, that you know of. Fixing things like that requires sustenance to break down in to raw materials and repurpose. This time his hunger is not without reason.

So, about as tied as Kadia-Rurik...only 2 souls instead of a split soul...
I'll have to see if there is anything I could do...

Will try to post tomorrow; I was gonna post before other people did because Dante's reaction would probably have been a rather reflexive one -- he's not one to wait too long to take action, but...meh. I'll have to think about what he'd do.

Balrgghlrlrlarghle. Warblegarble.

May you all have a merry whatever, and may you not have to spend it with those you hate.

...too late on that second part, but Merry Christmas!
(Hmm...I think I now have an alternative to "Happy Holidays" - Merry Whatevermas!)

Victoria ad Santanos!

HI I SWEAR I'M ALIVE
just perhaps a bit out of it from pain meds and stress and such
BUT IF YOU REALLY NEED TO, JUST DRAG DANTE ALONG
I'm sure he won't mind

much.

*Tempted to invert the inverted pentagram*

Hope you feel better soon, Espy.

Okay, I have a Skype account: Thunderbird Nocturnis...now to figure out how it works...
My Facebook is Zephyr Crow

Dang it...sorry I couldn't finish my exorcism scene in time...
I don't understand what has happened...

I added you on skype, Lawtan.

And what was confusing exactly?

...did we just suddenly go to the final stage? How could that device do that...and why didn't Thomas use it in the first place - save the bullets, as it were. And why does this creature remind me of Lilith mixed with Quezacotl?

The device had nothing to do with it at all. It's for calling down a nuclear strike from the Amorpha satellite, it's extremely dangerous to have it just lying around.

The illusion was dispelled when Sin recognized Na'lsa's presence -- he is one of her many children, being the incarnation of one of the Seven Sins.

And I imagine she strikes you that way cause you've never read Paradise Lost. :|

Which is turn lifted from Spenser's the Fairie Queen in the character of Error.

And are you not thinking of Lamia? Lilith was apocryphally the first wife of Adam and was eventually damned and became a succubus who murdered newborns.

And she has feathered scales because she's a clone of Satan. :|

The Lamia makes more sense - I thought Lilith due to the sensual nature (And due to the L's, and no, I have not read Paradise Lost, and I'll need to look that up now (haven't heard of it before).

You've never heard of Paradise Lost.... *faints*

IT IS THE GREATEST POEM EVER WRITTEN IN ENGLISH IT IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER GO READ IT NOW OMG

*ahem*

:P

*Is confuddled* Why is the fainting Daemon Prince in the corner?

@Suze - I'll look it up to read soon (either today or this weekend)

Right now...have to rewrite Kadia's scene

It's 500 pages long Lawtan, might take you more than a weekend. ;)

It may not - Used to read that much in a day.

It's extremely difficult reading, but all the power to you.

I wouldn't say it's the /best/ poem, but it's certainly...interesting. That you've never heard of it is...strange.

...granted, I went to a Catholic high, but even then...

Double post, but I just read stuff, so.

I completely forgot where the party was was only an illusion. Does that mean Thomas died in an illusion.....?? Or was it "real" in a sense?

It was a psychic illusion generated by the Crown, he's really dead. Any wounds we took, any ammo we expended, etc, all really happened.

And The Divine Comedy is at least comparable in scope and power, but I did say "in English". :P

But surely Lawtan you've heard the phrase "Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven"?

That comes from Satan's most famous (though not quite my personal favorite but close) speech near the end of the first book in PL.

-how do I delete a post-

Where I come from, high schoolers are put through literacy tests.

Over 15% of my year failed them. You can imagine the treasure trove of reading we were issued.

Why would you need to delete that post...?

I've yet to read all of the Divine Comedy. That'd take...a while.

@Suze - It is actually one of my father's favorite phrases.

@Salone - Sounds like home to me

(Sorry if I am a bit snappy over this - got some bad news today)

Na'lsa is to his unborn siblings as Templeton is to fair food. For a visual reference as to what is going on.

So uh, it's a good thing I /just/ had dinner.

Kadia reaches level 2 ranger/cleric!
*I hope I didn't break the universe here. If I did, sorry Suze.*

Lawtan, I do not have a clue what that was supposed to be.

Hm...seeing that all of that was internal, italicizing might've been good.

But also, I think opening the second chakra for a power boost should also only happen if she was /weak/ to begin with, or had been restraining herself. Something that powerful (from the sounds of it) would kill a person after it's used.

And the OOC exists for a reason. Big stuff like that (also Nalsa eating the fetuses) should be talked about before posted, I think.
