WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO LEAVE IN THE TIMESTAMP AND THE NICKCHANGES AND SOME OF THE 'WHISPERINGS' DURING AN IMPROMPTU SCENE - SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE FLOW AND TIMING OF HOW AN IMPROMPTU  SCENE IS DONE.

 

<Fanci`> we could do a Gorean one
[23:37:53] <Scarron> then yall need to get me organized
[23:37:53] <Fanci`> just a simple proposition .. like
[23:38:19] <Fanci`> The guard makes his round on the top of the city wall ..
[23:38:29] <Fanci`> suddenly his attention is drawn to motion below
[23:38:38] <Fanci`> he leans over and sees ....
[23:38:50] * Fanci` looks to the others
[23:39:07] <Scarron> nothing... it must have just been his imagination
[23:39:10] *** Fanci` has left IRC
[23:39:10] *** Fanci` is now known as SlaveGirl
[23:39:12] <Scarron> but alas... something is there

 

[23:39:25] *** SlaveGirl is now known as SlaveGirl``

[23:39:42] *** Scarron is now known as Shoraq`

 

[23:39:50] * SlaveGirl`` darts from the shadows, hurrying as she fears the footsteps behind her will catch her

[23:40:27] * SlaveGirl`` looks up, sees the startled face of the guard looking at her and knows an alarm will be sounded now

[23:40:49] * Shoraq` draws the blade slowly upon the wall... sparks lightly fly as the steel hisses upon the stone.... his quarry is not far not

[23:41:34] -> *nickserv* info guard

[23:41:39] * SlaveGirl`` hears the scraping and a shiver runs over her body, causing her to stumble on the rough cobble stones .. she nearly loses her balance but limps into the Paga Tavern known as Crook'sLanding

[23:41:42] *** LadyKnight is now known as Guard

[23:42:23] * Shoraq` stops and listens... he can hear her... her heart beating fast... her pulse rapid... the thrill of the chase consumes him

[23:42:57] * Guard watches the spark appear... and he motions to one of the other guards to continue the watch, as he moves down to that tavern - one not noted for its peaceful nature.

[23:43:04] * SlaveGirl`` slips in the doorway and quickly disappears into the shadows of the servery, every sense quickened, nerve ends tingling with fear

[23:44:03] * Shoraq` grins slightly... a very unique man... an accident in his youth caused his malady... a wise man had the solution... the arm parted at the elbow... the sword grafted and fit... he is the perfect weapon... and none escape him... not this girl... no

[23:44:04] * SlaveGirl`` find a small space behind the wine casks and hides herself there, barely breathing as she hears rough voices starting to rise with excitement ... He has told them! Now they will all search for me

[23:44:28] * Guard watches as the man moves... with the stealth of an assassin.

[23:45:04] * Shoraq` mind races... his thoughts unclouding... he breathes deeply and with a smile remembers

[23:45:15] <Shoraq`> ((ok lets try some flashback))

[23:45:49] * SlaveGirl`` pauses .. clouds pass in front of my eyes

[23:46:09] * Guard removes his red cape... and the markings of his caste, as he slips into the tavern.

[23:46:11] <Shoraq`> ((ok perhaps not... maybe thats too deep))

[23:46:54] * SlaveGirl`` holds her breath and hears a hush as the crowd settles down, back to its low rumbles of cheap jokes and smacks of wet kisses

[23:46:56] * Shoraq` wraps the cloth around the swordarm and slowly enters the tavern

[23:47:39] * Guard looks towards the Keeper and signs to him to keep quiet of the Guard's presence.

[23:47:40] * SlaveGirl`` thinks of the Master who used her so severely .. and then, kicked her into the streets .. laughing, jeering ... Oh yeah, girl! if you are unhappy now .. try life as a runaway!

[23:47:43] * Shoraq` moves to the side wall and scans the room slowly

[23:47:55] * Guard looks to where the assassin is moving, for surely this man must be one.

[23:48:30] * SlaveGirl`` 's breathing slowly resumes its normal pace and her brain begins to function again

[23:48:53] * Shoraq` knows the retrieval of runaway slaves is a dangerous game... a fat master who pushed his girl too far... now in his lament wants her back...

[23:49:26] * Guard hopes the slave is not a runaway. he tires of killing them - but the law must be upheld. and as Captain of the Guard, he would kill the girl if indeed she was a runaway.

[23:49:56] * SlaveGirl`` straightens slowly, not touching any of the surfaces that now seem to crowd in on her and she takes slow, silent steps into the back hallway

[23:50:08] * Shoraq` remebers the words 'Remember Shoraq` she is very special... do not kill her... bring her back to me... bring her in chains if you must... but bring her back'

[23:50:34] * Guard loosens the quiva - the welloiled blade always sharp and always finding its mark.

[23:50:38] * SlaveGirl`` speeds along a silent corridor, her bare feet skimming the worn boards and she spies a door left barely cracked

[23:50:50] * Shoraq` spies her and begins to move quickly toward the corridor

[23:51:16] * SlaveGirl`` slips inside the room, her eyes momentarily sightless in the pitch dark

[23:51:32] * Guard chuckles and sits back - waiting for the assassin to flush the girl out.

[23:51:38] * Shoraq` pushes a kajira out of his way as he moves toward his quarry

[23:51:52] * SlaveGirl`` gently closes the door behind her with no sound of the latch and waits a moment while her vision adjusts

[23:52:19] * Shoraq` moves in real time as the area around him seem to move in slow motion... in real time he moves the cloth revealing the wicked SwordArm

[23:52:42] * SlaveGirl`` senses a presence in that room and holds still, as she waits to learn more about this one who stays in darkness

[23:53:11] * Guard turns to the keeper... "kalana - and make it quick. I dont want an hour serve by most of these kajira."

[23:53:14] * SlaveGirl`` hears a sepulcheral voice ..... To Me, girl

[23:53:20] * Shoraq` enters the corridor... he moves the sharp blade across the wood of the wall, peeling splinters and making a horrid sound

[23:53:57] * SlaveGirl`` gasps! she feels a strong hand grasp her wrist and pull her forward into what seems like a bag of bones

[23:54:03] * Shoraq` says in an almost rasped voice "Come out... come out... I wont bite"

[23:54:31] * SlaveGirl`` hears the sword scraping and the rough tone in the hallway and her heart stops ...... what should a girl do?

[23:54:34] * Shoraq` goes to the closed door... decides on the flamboyant approach and prepares to kick the door off the hinges

[23:55:05] * SlaveGirl`` falls into the bony huddle and moans in a whisper ..

[23:55:09] <SlaveGirl``> please .. hide me ..

[23:55:25] * Shoraq` with a heavy boot, the tip of iron... a grin on his twisted face... with a crashing sound kicks the door open

[23:55:37] * Guard chuckles...

[23:55:46] <Guard> there goes the door to the supply room.

[23:56:04] * Guard looks over his shoulder, and indicates to the musicians for a loud song.

[23:56:33] * Shoraq` waits a second as the door splinters fall slowly... then very slowly begins to walk into the room... the light from the main room glinting off the wicked SwordArm

[23:56:36] * SlaveGirl`` shrinks back, the crash sounding loud as an earthquake to her ears .. and then she feels herself picked up by strong hands and quickly pushed forward to what appears a solid wall

[23:57:28] * SlaveGirl`` blinks in surprise as a passageway opens with the sound of a quiet *click* and she is propelled forward by the hands again .. knowing not where they go

[23:57:34] * Shoraq` stands his ground letting his eyes grow accustomed to the murky depths of the storeroom

[23:58:16] * Shoraq` walks into the room and looks around... sniffs the air... she was here...but...

[23:58:29] * SlaveGirl`` runs swiftly, never considering looking around to see her Rescuer and they pass door after door

[23:58:49] * Guard looks to the Keeper.

[23:59:01] * Shoraq` catches another scent... there was another... another

[23:59:47] * SlaveGirl`` is roughly pushed down flights of stairs and after ages pass .. always running .. her chest beginning to hurt now, starved for air .. she notices a rank, mouldy odor ..

[23:59:55] <SlaveGirl``> oh god! its the catacombs!

[00:00:11] * Shoraq` grins knowing the game has gotten new players... good... with a few quick thrusts and slashes makes an Omega symbol into the wall next to the door

[00:00:21] <Shoraq`> She tasks me... she tasks me...

[00:00:30] * Shoraq` turns to go back into the main room

[00:00:34] <Shoraq`> and i will have her...

[00:01:02] * SlaveGirl`` feels herself jerked to a halt and shoved roughly into a cold dank room

[00:01:31] * Shoraq` walks back into the main room... slowly scans as he covers the swordarm

[00:02:17] * Shoraq` says in a rasped but loud voice "I am in need of a guide... and I will pay handsomely"

[00:02:21] * SlaveGirl`` rests a second, though terrified .. and feels a rising need to know the identify of her Rescuer? or New Captor?

[00:02:31] * Guard chuckles... and turns around.

[00:02:49] <Guard> guide for what?

[00:03:05] * Shoraq` says unemotionally "The Catacombs"

[00:03:20] <Guard> and how much is the pay?

[00:03:35] <Shoraq`> ((help me with the gorean money procedures))

[00:04:06] <Guard> (giggles - you think i learned money???????? *wink*)

[00:04:11] <Shoraq`> 1 silver tarn disk for the night's work

[00:04:13] <Sezana`> 2  {SPECIAL NOTE: SEZANA IS THE BOT- RESPONDS TO #COMMANDS)

[00:04:17] <SlaveGirl``> lol!

[00:04:26] <Shoraq`> 1

[00:04:26] <Sezana`> 2

[00:04:28] <Shoraq`> 2

[00:04:29] <Sezana`> 3

[00:04:36] * Guard chuckles

[00:04:38] <Guard> 3

[00:04:38] * SlaveGirl`` collapses onthe bag of bones, howling

[00:04:39] <Sezana`> 4

[00:04:40] <Sezana`> 5

[00:04:42] <Sezana`> 6

[00:04:44] <Sezana`> 7

[00:04:46] <Sezana`> 8

[00:04:48] <Sezana`> 9

[00:04:50] <Sezana`> 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[00:04:55] <Guard> oh shoot... stop!

[00:05:02] <Shoraq`> Well... any takers?

[00:05:06] <SlaveGirl``> *laughing hysterically*

[00:05:38] <Guard> 10 silver tarn disks!

[00:05:41] <Guard> I shall take the job.

[00:05:58] <Shoraq`> Ten? baaa Five

[00:06:39] * SlaveGirl`` 's breathing somewhat calmer, turns to the figure that holds her from behind and takes a quick step backward as the face and form comes into view ....

[00:06:39] <Guard> I believe the last number shouted was... 10

[00:07:09] <Shoraq`> you insult me... no guide is worth ten... what do you think I am some slobbering urt

[00:07:16] <Guard> well.

[00:07:25] <Shoraq`> Eight

[00:07:27] <Guard> You dont know your way in the catacombs. a slobbering urt does.

[00:07:40] * Shoraq` holds back his anger

[00:07:54] * Guard chuckles

[00:07:58] <Guard> 12 silver tarn disks

[00:08:17] * Shoraq` smiles

[00:08:31] <Shoraq`> Very well... 8 now... and then the other four when the job is done

[00:08:42] <Guard> done.

[00:09:08] *** MstrTopGun (x@=Tz5Idzl05.tnt9.chi5.da.uu.net) has joined #Theatre_in_the_Round

[00:09:14] * Shoraq` pulls out the eight disks and slaps them upon the bartop

[00:09:17] <MstrTopGun> bye

[00:09:17] *** MstrTopGun (x@=Tz5Idzl05.tnt9.chi5.da.uu.net) has left #Theatre_in_the_Round

[00:09:22] * SlaveGirl`` sees a tall beetle-like figure holding her wrists .. eyes looking impassively into hers .. bony arthropod fingers pressing into her sweet slave flesh. She freezes, knowing she is in the presence of a Priest King

[00:09:30] <Shoraq`> ((high into the danger zone))

[00:09:41] * Guard motions the keeper to take the disks.

[00:10:26] <Shoraq`> ((pause please... I have to use the little warriors room))

[00:10:44] <SlaveGirl``> (lol! go ahead .. this might get exciting)

[00:12:17] <Shoraq`> ((ok thanks... resume))

[00:12:56] <Guard> now... let us move quickly. we will need to get some tarns.

[00:12:56] * Shoraq` looks to the Guard "Now we shall go... you will honour your end of the bargain"

[00:12:57] * SlaveGirl`` looks to the tall figure, tries to see feeling in those opaque eyes

[00:14:17] * SlaveGirl`` almost forgets her fear as it dawns on her ... why has this PK done this? why has he intervened in ordinary mortal affairs?

[00:14:32] * Guard looksto the assassin.

[00:14:37] * Shoraq` follows the Guard

[00:14:45] <Guard> you will need about another 30 tarn disks to get us the tarns.

[00:15:07] * Guard chuckles

[00:15:14] * SlaveGirl`` feels a tension in the strong grip .. and she senses something has changed

[00:15:25] * Shoraq` nods.... knows when the job is finished this man with no name will have to be terminated... but for now he needs him...

[00:16:07] * Guard leads the assassin - for now he knows this man is an assassin, who else would have that much money - to where his tarns are kept in the tarncots.

[00:16:16] * Shoraq` leaves the SwordArm hidden and follows

[00:16:51] * Guard chuckles... knowing exactly where the slavegirl will end up at.

[00:17:07] * SlaveGirl`` feels herself being whirled around again and the strong fingers now push her back into the hallway ... where they stop! She is restrained .. unable to go in either direction .. the PK is using her for bait!

[00:17:38] * Guard looks up to the skies where the Sardar Mountain range is at. He sees the smoke.

[00:17:47] *** Skrymir (me@=2Yia-275-940-498-031.prodigy.net.mx) has joined #Theatre_in_the_Round

[00:17:48] * Guard turns to the assassin. 'follow me... the girl is in danger!'

[00:18:01] * Shoraq` counts his losses in his mind... knows the Fat Porthios will pay him dearly... or pay with his life

[00:18:15] * Shoraq` follows but says nothing

[00:18:35] * SlaveGirl`` feels a sudden terror .. what is happening???? What game is being played with her? Was she not a simple girl? And now .. a pawn in some dreadful game .. of which she knows nothing.

[00:18:53] * Guard moves back to the tower, and turning the torch - he watches as the wall opens. "quickly. if the golden beetle has found her - we have very limited time."

[00:19:13] * SlaveGirl`` struggles against the strong bony grasp .. then stills, knowing it it futile

[00:19:39] * Shoraq` has the feeling this man knows more then he tells him... but that is no concern to him at this point... only the game is afoot and the prey is close now

[00:19:54] * Guard slides into a chute... body hurtling straight down, and as he hits the bottom he rolls to the left.

[00:20:26] * Shoraq` looks to the chute... then with a deep breath slides into it, rolling to the right as he hits the bottom

[00:20:45] * Guard starts moving down the hallway - torches flickering.

[00:20:59] * SlaveGirl`` shivers, sensing the Hunters are drawing closer .. and she hears a strange murring sound from the One behind her

[00:21:02] * Shoraq` removes the cloth from the swordarm and follows

[00:21:14] <Guard> careful... the PriestKings communicate by scent.

[00:21:40] * Guard listens to the soft chirping sound... and slows his pace.

[00:21:45] * Shoraq` resists the urge to thrust the blade into this one... just nods slowly

[00:22:08] * SlaveGirl`` hears a faint sound .. realizes it is the voice of a Hunter .. closer now .. even the stealthy footsteps are faintly audible

[00:22:38] * Guard turns the corner and sees the Priest king on his belly... the golden beetle destroying him. the kajira, already in the trance - to be the repository.

[00:22:41] * Shoraq` begins to have second doubts... but is too far into the game now to turn back

[00:23:10] * Guard whispers to the assassin... 15"drag the girl... hopefully it is not too late."

[00:23:13] * SlaveGirl`` begins to writhe and twist .. tries to tear herself away from this scene .. and suddenly ... she is hurled hard against the wall, discarded .. a bait that served its purpose

[00:23:57] * Guard draws his shortsword... moving slowly towards the golden beetle - the only creature that can destroy a priest king

[00:24:37] * Shoraq` sees the scene in front of him ... moves to the slavegirl and attempts to drag the girl away

[00:24:46] * SlaveGirl`` scrabbles frantically down the hallway, trying each of the doors, only to feel the immovable handle of each ... all locked! she whirls around, frantic eyes watching the scene, unable to turn away

[00:25:20] * SlaveGirl`` looks to the Hunter with the sword protruding from his stump arm .. and faints!

[00:25:47] <Shoraq`> It is time erisa... Porthios has sent me for you

[00:26:11] * Shoraq` bends down to pick her up in my arms

[00:26:22] <Guard> take her! quickly! other beetles approach.

[00:26:47] * Shoraq` grabs hold of her and quickly moves down the catacombs toward the exit

[00:26:48] * SlaveGirl`` lays limply, hearing nothing .. feeling nothing as He lifts her with strong arms

[00:27:07] *** SlaveGirl`` is now known as erisa

[00:27:45] * Guard drives the blade straight down into the thorax of the PK - ending his euphoria, before reality sets in.

[00:27:50] * Guard starts to follow

[00:28:10] * erisa rouses slightly, her pert nose twitching with the dreadful scent of urts, human waste and dank mould of centuries .. she looks up and .... see Him! Portio's master-at-arms

[00:28:28] * Shoraq` waits for the guard near the chute

[00:29:11] * Guard hears the rattling sound of 2 more beetles... knowing they will be angered there will be no human body to lay their eggs in.

[00:29:26] <Shoraq`> I will climb up the chute... then you hand me the girl... then I will help you up

[00:29:49] * Guard kills the first beetle, and slits open the thorax... and grunts as he sees it is empty. the girl must be helped and soon! before the eggs hatch.

[00:30:02] * erisa struggles weakly, her muscles turned to jelly by the night's events .. her mind flailing as wildly as her pitifully weak limbs

[00:30:39] * Shoraq` sees the small bumps on her abdomen

[00:30:46] * Shoraq` lays her down upon the ground

[00:31:10] * Shoraq` uses the SwordArm and begins to cut the eggs out

[00:31:28] * erisa feels the cold ground beneath her soft flesh and feels the man's eyes on her belly, now barely covered by the tatteredsilks

[00:31:58] * erisa feels a ripping pain and blacks out entirely

[00:32:23] * Shoraq` can feel his profits dwindling with each cut he makes

[00:32:45] * Guard scrambles back towards the chute... knowing the beetles can't climb up.

[00:33:08] * Guard reaches it, and sheathes his sword... he leaps up, and using his quiva - he thrusts it into the wall and pulls up.

[00:33:28] * Shoraq` satisfied that he got the last one out... holds her up and positions her toward the chute

[00:33:32] <Guard> then using the second one... he makes his way up out of the chute.

[00:33:44] * erisa moans and shifts as consciousness starts to return

[00:33:52] * Guard leaves all seven quivas in the wall... watches for them to start climbing.

[00:34:34] * erisa feels herself being propelled in swift jerks .. upward and upward .. a dizzying journey

[00:34:52] * Shoraq` boosts her up, can hear the beetles approaching behind him

[00:35:04] * Guard reaches down... trying to grab her arm!

[00:35:05] <Guard> hurry!

[00:35:29] * Shoraq` is having trouble with the SwordArm... the old handicap... he cannot climb properly

[00:35:52] * Guard sighs... and slides into the chute... reaching the second handhold... and reaches for the girl again.

[00:36:05] * erisa 's eyes slowly flutter open and fall again on the face of the MasterAtArms .. she hears the Guard's hissed words .. filled with urgency .. and she adds her plea ..... Hurry, Master!

[00:36:19] * Shoraq` holds on as the beetle reaches for his boot

[00:37:06] * Guard pulls the girl up and unsheathing his sword... he slides down two more handholds... reaches for the assassin's hand.

[00:37:09] * Shoraq` the swordarm which has killed dozens... is now the maker of his own doom... as he goes to reach for another quiva the swordarm does not connect and he falls

[00:37:15] * erisa frowns as that dank smell envelopes them again... that smell! it is the smell of the beetles! the catacombs are their laboratory .. their breeding ground!

[00:37:22] * Shoraq` scream can be heard then quickly silenced

[00:37:29] * Guard grumbles.. and slides down all the way again...

[00:37:46] * Guard jumps in... and slices off two beetles heads...

[00:37:51] * Guard looks at the assassin, almost dead...

[00:37:59] * Guard picks him up... carries him up.

[00:38:01] <Guard> reach girl!

[00:38:05] <Guard> now! har=ta!

[00:38:05] <Shoraq`> I still owe you... you four... four disks

[00:38:13] * erisa feels the grasp on her is gone now .. and she has a strange loneliness .. he saved her ... only to die Himself.

[00:38:26] *** sexysoft{LiH} (GoAway@=n6xki-ra-280sunqgzD121.dialsprint.net) has joined #Theatre_in_the_Round

[00:38:33] * erisa reaches a hand up and takes the strong hand of the Guard .

[00:38:47] * Guard takes a deep breath and starts pushing him upwards... 'reach! you lowlife! you owe me money! now reach and live!'

[00:39:02] * Shoraq` slowly reaches out

[00:39:07] * erisa smiles ... He lives!

[00:39:20] <sexysoft{LiH}> hi all

[00:39:20] * erisa helps the Guard to push Shoraq` ...

[00:39:21] <Sezana`> yeah, yeah hi HI sexysoft{LiH}

[00:39:41] <erisa> we all live! and they are behind us ..

[00:39:41] <sexysoft{LiH}> hello Sezana` Sir? Ma'am?

[00:39:42] <Sezana`> hello sexysoft{LiH}

[00:39:57] * Shoraq` falls out of the chute onto the ground... the swordarm broken off... left behind for the beetles

[00:40:03] * Guard sees another beetle reaching up... he cuts the damn creature's head off! "stupid animals... only thing they are good for, is they get rid of the PKs."

[00:40:42] <sexysoft{LiH}> perhaps i shall comeback whe the beetles are gone..

[00:40:45] * Guard continues to pull up... seeing the girl and the assassin both onthe ground now.

[00:40:47] * erisa tumbles down, landing on the Assassin, now not nearly so fierce without the dreadful sword arm .. she smiles softly to Him and The Guard

[00:40:49] *** sexysoft{LiH} (GoAway@=n6xki-ra-280sunqgzD121.dialsprint.net) has left #Theatre_in_the_Round

[00:41:15] * Shoraq` looks to the guard... "you came back for me... why"

[00:41:34] <Guard> you owe me 4 silver tarn disks.

[00:41:36] * Guard chuckles

[00:41:52] * Shoraq` grins "aye.... that I do"

[00:41:56] * erisa lies panting, weak with exertion and blood loss .. aware that her value is Zip now .. her soft slave flesh is scarred

[00:42:07] * Guard looks to the runaway.

[00:42:15] * Guard sighs and hefts his shortsword.

[00:42:20] * erisa turns to the Assassin ... I am still a woman

[00:42:22] <erisa> and ....

[00:42:24] <Guard> you know girl... if you had another collar...

[00:42:28] <erisa> You are still a man

[00:42:31] <Guard> you would not be a runaway.

[00:42:38] * Guard lols. "I have too many kajira already."

[00:42:42] <erisa> Can we comfort each other ..

[00:42:48] <erisa> and bind each other's wounds?

[00:42:48] * Shoraq` lays there... the swordarm now gone... he looks up at her

[00:43:26] <Shoraq`> I was hired to find a runaway kajira

[00:43:30] * erisa drops her eyes in respect of these two Masters .. who saved her from worse than the whipping .. or even death .. that she might have suffered at Portio's hands

[00:43:39] * Shoraq` looks down

[00:44:00] <Guard> and i am hired to kill them.

[00:44:10] <Shoraq`> I will send a scroll to Portio and tell him the kajira he once owned is dead

[00:44:16] * erisa peeks to him from beneath silky lashes and kneels at his feet, her proud breasts pressing against the tattered silks, now stained with her own blood

[00:44:28] * erisa whispers

[00:44:36] <erisa> Master Shoraq` .... may this one speak?

[00:44:46] * Shoraq` nods slowly

[00:45:01] * erisa takes a deep breath ....

[00:45:18] <erisa> Master, this girl was a willing slave ...

[00:45:24] <erisa> one who tried to please

[00:45:49] <erisa> the Old Fat Master was not a man ... and I could not help Him to be a man

[00:46:05] * Guard watches the two.

[00:46:06] <erisa> so .. he was angry ... and he chased me out ..

[00:46:13] <Shoraq`> I dont know what your talking about girl... have we met?

[00:46:15] <erisa> to be caught by sleens and eaten .. or used until I was dead

[00:46:15] * Shoraq` smiles

[00:46:29] <erisa> This girl appreciates the life you gave back to her

[00:46:34] <erisa> and would be pleasing in every way

[00:46:41] * Shoraq` looks to the guard

[00:46:45] <erisa> Master .. this girl begs your ko`lar.

[00:47:09] * erisa holds still as stone, awaiting His words

[00:47:13] * Guard shrugs... "collar her, or she dies - I have my own commander I must report to."

[00:47:49] * Shoraq` stands slowly "Time will tell... time will tell girl... come we have some catching up to do"

[00:48:04] <Guard> Shoraq`.

[00:48:07] <Guard> the law is plain.

[00:48:10] * Shoraq` turns

[00:48:11] <Guard> she has begged your ko-lar.

[00:48:16] * erisa rises obediently to her feet and pads to take a place on His left, two steps behind

[00:48:23] <Guard> the code states... you must either collar her... or kill her.

[00:48:30] * erisa halts, listening to the words of the Guard .. and her heart leaps within her

[00:48:52] <Shoraq`> then I shall....

[00:48:59] <Shoraq`> I shall

[00:49:11] * erisa looks to Shoraq` .. and moves in front of him again, dropping to her knees

[00:49:14] * Guard draws his sword...

[00:49:24] <Shoraq`> collar her

[00:49:41] * erisa lifts her hair off her satiny white neck and turns her head to the side

[00:49:45] * Guard chuckles as he puts his steel away.

[00:49:59] * erisa murmurs in muffled tones ...

[00:50:06] <erisa> Thank You , Master

[00:50:17] <erisa> this one will serve you well.

[00:50:26] <Shoraq`> We shall see... we shall see

[00:50:47] <erisa> I beg your ko`lar .. and a place at your feet .. that I may bring you joy and comfort

[00:51:18] * Shoraq` takes a collar out of his pouch, uses one hand and sets it

[00:51:56] * erisa leans further forward as she feels the cold steel around her neck and waits with joy for the *click* of the lock

[00:52:52] * erisa is scarcely able to breathe ...almost overcome by happiness, she quivers slightly and leans forward to lightly kiss His boot

[00:53:15] <Guard> do you have far to travel, assassin?

[00:53:30] * erisa lifts soft hands to the ko`lar and touches it lovingly, presses the ends to hear the *click*

[00:53:31] <Shoraq`> No... not any longer

[00:53:41] <Guard> do you have a place to stay?

[00:53:58] * erisa peeks to her Master and almost purrs with contentment

[00:54:20] <Shoraq`> No.. it seems a one armed assassin might not be as lucky as a two armed one

[00:55:04] * erisa smiles a secret smile, listening to the two talk .. knowing in her woman's heart this man will feel lucky indeed before the night is over.

[00:55:12] * Guard tosses a set of keys to the assassin. "follow the road for two pasangs. there is a small abode - it is on my land. rest there, you and your kajira. we shall see what the morrow brings."

[00:55:54] <Shoraq`> Very well

 

[00:56:36] *** Guard is now known as LadyKnight

[00:56:37] * erisa laughs with joy and smiles to the Guard with downcast eyes, then rises, takes her place as a proper slave should .. and is ready to follow Him ... en kajira!

[00:56:45] <erisa> nick Fanci`
