Andia: The Revolution

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Ashriel turned in his cot. "Yeah yeah, Valentin, calm down!" Ashriel called, Valentin's voice carrying during the last sentence.

[Duh]

Spoiler:

I'm trying my best to be evil here. I'm doing good? Yes? No?

The screaming and laughing in Aarys' head stopped. "He threatened us!" said a series of small whispering voices. "Threatened us! Threatened...Threatened...Kill...Kill...Kill...Kill...Kill..."

Everything went quiet. The voices stopped.

[Kerr]

Spoiler:

If I say yes will you not be evil to me?

[Eltee]

"They... They're gone..." Aarys muttered. She sat up slowly. "It's a demon, or something, I think."

Spoiler:

Well, the Crawler scared the bejeezus out of me, and you are eerily similar.

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

Ha! He doesn't have anthing on me... I hope. Nothing apart from the assorted eye arguments and the fact that I apparently enjoy kicking poor Ash in the nads. Anyways, goodnight!

Hremai turned in her sleep, lightly roused by the cries from nearby. She didn't react to them though, and was soon asleep again.

[King Acunasti]

"That scared the hell out of me." Valentin said, kissing Aarys on the cheek. "I felt like I couldn't help you!"

[Eltee]

"It heard you... I think it's coming for you next."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin locked his teeth together in anger, thinking of the terrible things he'd do to the creature that had appearently attacked Aarys. "I don't care." he murmured. "I want it to come."

He leaned forward and gave Aarys a long kiss.

Spoiler:

I did some research on demonic possession for one of my horror stories a while back. Appearently, the worst thing you can do is to challenge a demon. Did I, or did I not just screw myself over?

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Either way it will be entertaining.

Aarys sighed deeply, letting Valentin kiss her. She felt safer with him near her.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Spoiler:

Pansies. I got it much worse than that.

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

...And Ash is an insensitive prick...

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Yeah, Matt. That's probably because your character is such a stubborn [censored].

Valentin broke away. He gazed into Aarys' eyes with a small grin. "Stay close to me tonight." he said. "They won't touch you with me around. I swear, I'll beat their asses right back into the Gloom."

[Kerr]

Spoiler:

Saying na na na na na to a demon and blowing raspberrys is probably a bad idea.

[Eltee]

"I'm sure you will." Aarys whispered, then kissed him lightly on the lips. "Goodnight. I love you."

[King Acunasti]

"You know I love you too." Valentin laid back down. "If you have another dream like that, wake me up immediately."

[Eltee]

"Okay..." Aarys murmured, drifting off to sleep.

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

Unless he wants to play with us more, would it be too much to ask if Leyyuce and KCK went to bed, so we could see what slly antics Duh's got in store for us tomorrow?

[Kerr]

Spoiler:

"Right, i'll leave you two love birds alone." said Gladro before leaving and entering a nearby tent, striping down to his t-shirt and underwear and going to sleep under a heavy blanket.

I have already have.

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

Well, then... Sorry about that.

[Kerr]

Spoiler:

Its alright.

[Leyyuce]

Peter remained active for several more hours, well-maintained rifle his only companion as he wordlessly wandered the fringes of the isolated encampment. Recognizing the obvious need for rest, given the unpredictable nature of the group's situation, Peter slipped into an unoccupied tent once even the moonlight had grown insubstantial.

Spoiler:

My apologies for the delay.

[Duh]

The next morning was just as freezing as the night had been. The snow was building up fast. And it just continued falling.

But the eight were allowed to sleep in (due to the One stating that they would need their rest).

Spoiler:

Wake up whenever you want.

[Eltee]

Aarys opened her eyes at the first hint of dawn. She had slept lightly, not having truly recovered from her night terror. She did not immediately wake Valentin. She yawned, and pulled on her clothes. I wonder how Eru is doing... He was pretty damn drunk. Aarys thought, opening the flap of the tent. She made her way to his tent. "Uhhh... Eru? Are you awake?" Aarys asked softly, opening the tent flap a little bit.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin cracked an eye open. But he was fully shocked awake when Aarys was not there. "Sh*t!" he whispered to himself. "Aarys!"

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Oh, dearie me...
