The Liquid Wallaby - It Melts My Heart (No more Posting)

[Barboneia]

Dr. Yeardling sits across from her, thinking.

The empty socket on her eye seems to glow faintly blue for a few moments before fading as she finishes the tea, putting the cup on the floor. "And so it'll be done."

"What?"
Dr. Yeardling achingly gets off the ground.

"What?"
Dr. Yeardling achingly gets off the ground.

"A few Reils will be lost in exchange for several thousand seasoned warriors and a brilliant leader. It is a trade I regret, but a fair one in the grand scheme of things."

Dr. Yeardling achingly gets off the ground.

"A few Reils will be lost in exchange for several thousand seasoned warriors and a brilliant leader. It is a trade I regret, but a fair one in the grand scheme of things."

Dr. Yeardling takes off his beret and bows to her.
"You are truly the leader this place needs. I commend you."

Dr. Yeardling takes off his beret and bows to her.
"You are truly the leader this place needs. I commend you."

She returns the bow. "Thank you kindly. I just need to get Culdranthine to step in line... They're being very 'iffy' about assisting us or not. And I'm pretty sure half of their senators are dead now because I've been trying to eliminate the ones opposing intervention."

He smiles warmly.
"I'm sure you'll figure something out."

He smiles warmly.
"I'm sure you'll figure something out."

"Perhaps. I would really rather not have to fight them... Culdranth firing lines and MEC's fuel my nightmares. The closest thing to an MEC we've got is Byron's old shitty brass mechsuit."

[Chaos Crescent]

A loud thumbing can be heard closing in on the building right before it stops, the thumping was a battlemech that was standing near the building, Drake climbs out and down. Enters.

'Oi.....'

[Barboneia]

He smiles warmly.
"I'm sure you'll figure something out."

"Perhaps. I would really rather not have to fight them... Culdranth firing lines and MEC's fuel my nightmares. The closest thing to an MEC we've got is Byron's old shitty brass mechsuit."

Dr. Yeardling strokes his chin.
"You know, I have some ties to a resistance group back in my home country. They've been quiet for a bit, but they love helping overthrow evil tyrannical governments. I might be able to get them to support you."

"As much as I'd love accepting help I would like to keep this a strictly Tinellian affair. When other nations get involved they almost always have some sort of outside agenda. Like when the King of Reiltam was overthrown by a 'homebred' Communist coup. Bullshit. The Soviets were in on it."

He nods.
"I understand."

He nods.
"I understand."

"Besides, this'll make for a far better story. The Reils, once considered pests, a nuisance, a scourge upon the land... Led by a former enemy and assisted by holy orders from across the land, supported with an alliance from Culdranthine finally defeating the dreaded Arkadacians? Oh, if Adicei could see me now..."

[Barboneia]

He nods.
"I understand."

"Adicei?"
He pulls out his pipe and lights it with the strange black lighter given to him by Drake.

He pulls out his pipe and lights it with the strange black lighter given to him by Drake.

'How's the lighter working?'

[Barboneia]

"Adicei?"
He pulls out his pipe and lights it with the strange black lighter given to him by Drake.

'How's the lighter working?'

He shrugs.
"Good enough."

"My adoptive mother, so to speak... After my tribe was killed she stumbled upon me and Crysal and raised us. I never saw her face, she always had it covered but she contributed to who I am, even thousands of years later..."

[Chaos Crescent]

'How's the lighter working?'

He shrugs.
"Good enough."

'That's good. It was made for the souls of the stupid.'

[Barboneia]

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"It was over 10,000 years ago. The scars have healed. I don't even make pilgrimages to the tribe site anymore. It's not necessary."

[Barboneia]

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"It was over 10,000 years ago. The scars have healed. I don't even make pilgrimages to the tribe site anymore. It's not necessary."

He shrugs.
"So now what?"

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

"It was over 10,000 years ago. The scars have healed. I don't even make pilgrimages to the tribe site anymore. It's not necessary."

He shrugs.
"So now what?"

She throws her hood up and covers her face up with fabric. "Now, I make my move." Adri heads outside.

[Barboneia]

He shrugs.
"So now what?"

She throws her hood up and covers her face up with fabric. "Now, I make my move." Adri heads outside.

Dr. Yeardling follows.
"Wait! Can I..."
He stares at his shoes.
"Can I, uh, come?"
He smiles a nervous smile.

[Chaos Crescent]

He shrugs.
"So now what?"

She throws her hood up and covers her face up with fabric. "Now, I make my move." Adri heads outside.

Stares at her leaving wondering when this chess match ends and how it will end. Stalemate or checkmate. Is the king or queen in this, out in the open get captured.

Dr. Yeardling follows.
"Wait! Can I..."
He stares at his shoes.
"Can I, uh, come?"
He smiles a nervous smile.

She turns around and blinks. "I have to get the ships fixed and send word to the Knights. It's not like I'm going there now. It'll be a few days. Have patience."

"Oh."
He puts his beret back on and bows.
"Well then, god speed to you."
He walks back inside the bar.

[Saurisisia]

"Er... I, uh, wish to speak with her in person."

"Then I, the King of Zombies, will escort you. Come along now..." He motions down the hall opposite the one from which he came.

"That's a little creepy..." Whispers Jehanne.

"Eh?" He responds before following the King.
