16:37:37 < Ryan> k
16:37:43 <@Narrator> [alrighty]
16:37:49 < Ryan> [sure]
16:37:53 <@Narrator> !logon FXCategoryRyan
16:38:08  * Narrator Ryan finds himself landing face-down on what is most likely cold, hard stone
16:38:16 < Ryan> Nngghhhh
16:38:24 < Ryan> What /did/ I do to deserve this....
16:38:46  * Ryan gets up lazily
16:39:03  * Ryan holds his head, which likely aches
16:39:05  * Narrator Examining his surroundings, Ryan may find himself in what looks like a small dungeon - an open cell door ahead of him, and several skeletons chained to the wall to his right and left
16:39:10 < Ryan> I swear, when I find Alia I'm going straight home
16:39:20  * Ryan looks around
16:39:22 < Ryan> ....
16:39:25 < Ryan> Oh geez
16:39:28 < Ryan> What now?
16:39:47  * Ryan talks along the path, examining his surroundings
16:39:53  * Ryan walks too
16:40:17 < Ryan> I wonder if everyone else is ok
16:40:19 < Ryan> ....Wait
16:40:19  * Narrator Ryan exits his cell shortly, coming into a long hallway of cells - in each one, it's either empty or has a number of skeletons
16:40:30  * Ryan looks into the cells
16:40:35 < Ryan> Where /are/ they?
16:40:37 < Ryan> o_o
16:40:40 < Ryan> .......I hope
16:40:42 < Ryan> these
16:40:46  * Ryan looks at some skeletons
16:40:48 < Ryan> Are not them
16:41:02 < Ryan> How long have I been uncounscious for?
16:41:15  * Narrator The skeletons all seem to be that of an adult human-type
16:41:17  * Ryan rubs his face, checking for any facial hair that might have grown as a result of a lot of time passing
16:41:26  * Narrator Ryan finds that he has no facial hair
16:41:29  * Narrator Pity
16:41:32 < Ryan> Huhhh...
16:41:43 < Ryan> Okay, probably haven't been out for long
16:41:48 < Ryan> So these can't be them
16:41:51 < Ryan> Hopefull
16:41:53 < Ryan> [y*
16:42:22  * Narrator At the very least, none of them are anything other than human skeletons, so you can rest assured that if these /are/ your comrades, Noel at the very least escaped and/or got put somewhere else
16:42:30  * Narrator In case that comforts you
16:42:46  * Ryan It doesn't. Who the fuck is Noel?
16:43:01  * Narrator He was the weird minigoat thing in part 1's RP
16:43:07  * Narrator Goatsquirrelthing
16:43:12  * Narrator Man I dunno he has a wiki page
16:43:17  * Ryan Yes. The one Ryan didn't pay attention to.
16:43:23  * Narrator Right, well then
16:43:37  * Ryan mostly just remembers that mage chick
16:43:43  * Ryan is like that
16:43:47  * Narrator Figures
16:44:18  * Narrator Ryan reaches the end of the hallway, assuming he didn't stop for anything - there's a stone door here, probably leading out of this room
16:44:31  * Narrator If not, it would lead to a wall and wouldn't be much of a door in the first place
16:45:00 < Ryan> Okay...
16:45:03 < Ryan> Hope this is open
16:45:08  * Ryan tries to open the door
16:45:21  * Narrator Ryan finds that the door opens, though it takes a bit of strength to do so being stone and all
16:45:30 < Ryan> Nggg
16:45:36  * Ryan manages to open with a bit of effort
16:46:00  * Ryan looks out the out, examining the next room before fully stepping in
16:46:08 < Ryan> [out the door*]
16:46:14  * Narrator Past the door is a large, ornately-designed room that looks like the inside of some palace - a huge red rug leads forward, then up several stairs and onward
16:46:45  * Narrator Lining the walls are several doors leading to other parts of the palace, as well as large dragon-head structures with blue fire coming out of their mouthes, like some sort of odd torch
16:47:03 < Ryan> .....eeeesh
16:47:07 < Ryan> I don't like the vibe of this place
16:47:16 < Ryan> Looks like I'm gonna have to eventually fight some pompous jackass
16:47:34  * Ryan holds the handle of his sword, ready to strike at any time, and sneaks out
16:47:55  * Ryan checks for any living things
16:48:29  * Narrator As Ryan steps out of his room, the dragon-torches suddenly begin burning brighter, and several ghostly-looking knights in bulky armor appear lining the hallway
16:49:04  * Narrator They go from the door Ryan entered to the stairs, up them, and beyond - they essentially block off any traversing to the rooms on the sides
16:49:38 < Ryan> ........................
16:49:55 < Ryan> Great. It has ghosts too.
16:50:06  * Ryan sighs. "It's gonna be a long night"
16:50:35 < Ryan> [For clarification: The ghost knights left the room?]
16:50:46 < Ryan> [Or is there one standing in front of each door?]
16:50:47 <@Narrator> [Picture a path leading from your door /straight/ on]
16:50:53 <@Narrator> [Picture knights standing at the edge of the part]
16:50:54 <@Narrator> [*path]
16:51:03 <@Narrator> [essentially Ryan doesn't have much room to move left-right]
16:51:49 < Ryan> [They are lined up on both sides of the room, then?]
16:51:52 <@Narrator> [yes]
16:51:59 < Ryan> [And they haven't seen me]
16:52:08 <@Narrator> [No, they're just standing there]
16:52:23 < Ryan> [Does it look like they /could/ see me?]
16:52:33 <@Narrator> [Nope]
16:52:45 < Ryan> [And the dragon torches are attached to walls, meaning I can't hide behind them, right?]
16:52:53 < Ryan> [Is there anything one could use for hiding?]
16:53:00 <@Narrator> [Hold on]
16:53:51 <@Narrator> [ http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/5716/picture22tc.png ]
16:53:59 <@Narrator> [Ryan is the black dot. Ghost knights are the grey]
16:54:10 <@Narrator> [they're railroading you.]
16:54:38 < Ryan> [k]
16:54:43 < Ryan> .....
16:54:55 < Ryan> Are these guys here just for ambiance?
16:55:08  * Ryan begins walking forward
16:55:22  * Ryan pays attention to the guards as to not be caught by a surprise attack
16:55:29  * Narrator The ghost knights continue standing in their positions as Ryan moves head
16:55:59  * Ryan goes along. Weee railroading
16:56:05  * Narrator Eventually, Ryan reaches the stairs, then heads up them - not too far ahead is a very decorative and oversized door
16:56:27 < Ryan> .......
16:56:30 < Ryan> Craaaaaaaap
16:56:34 < Ryan> Whatever's behind this
16:56:36 < Ryan> can't be a good thing
16:56:37  * Narrator The knights actually curve off a bit near the end of this room, though they don't go far enough to let Ryan enter any door other than that one
16:56:59  * Ryan goes through the door
16:57:06  * Ryan assumes it's open
16:58:07  * Narrator Ryan pushes open the door, and enters the room behind it - a large, circular room, with a very tall ceiling. In the center of the room stands a pedestal, with a sword stuck inside it. On the very opposite side of the room is a large stone dragon head similar to the ones lining the previous room, also emitting blue flame
16:58:58 < Ryan> .....
16:59:00 < Ryan> Uh
16:59:10 < Ryan> So, this is a very roundabout way of giving me a present?
16:59:12  * Narrator The door Ryan went through suddenly shuts on its own
16:59:18  * Ryan steps toward the pedesta-
16:59:19 < Ryan> !!!
16:59:22 < Ryan> ...
16:59:24 < Ryan> of course not.
16:59:38  * Ryan pulls out his sword, readying himself for whatever beast shows up next
16:59:52  * Narrator Before Ryan can reach the sword, two blue flames appear next to it
17:00:24  * Narrator From them emerge to gauntleted hands, which grab the sword and yank it out themselves - the flames continue moving, down the arms, then body, of the one holding said sword
17:00:27  * Ryan meant his own, but he was walking toward the one in the pedestal too
17:00:30  * Narrator Aaaw
17:00:34  * Narrator WELL ANYWAY
17:00:53  * Ryan watches the ghost knight form
17:01:04  * Narrator Someone stands, holding the sword above their head as ghost knights suddenly appear around the perimeter of the room - each of them holding dangerous-looking oversized swords
17:01:13  * Narrator Ryan notices that it wasn't a ghost knight that formed
17:01:15  * Narrator But rather
17:01:19  * Narrator http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5296/picture21ho.png
17:01:24 *** You're now known as AMalivari
17:01:26 < Ryan> ........................................
17:01:36 < Ryan> Oh YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME
17:01:48 <@AMalivari> [I love your reaction so much]
17:01:55 <@AMalivari> You've kept me waiting, knight!
17:02:07  * AMalivari holds his sword out threateningly at Ryan
17:02:10 < Ryan> Yeah I'd have waited for longer if I knew about this
17:02:16 < Ryan> [kept you waiting*]
17:02:21 <@AMalivari> Well now there's no avoiding it
17:02:28 <@AMalivari> We are fighting to the death
17:03:02 < Ryan> ....
17:03:04 < Ryan> All right then.
17:03:06  * AMalivari hops off the pedestal, the blue flames coming from this room's sole dragon head burning more intensely
17:03:08 <@AMalivari> ...
17:03:11 <@AMalivari> Oh come on where's the enthusiasm
17:03:14 <@AMalivari> I mean really
17:03:24 <@AMalivari> not everyone gets to have a fight to the death with /Fantasy/
17:03:27 *** You're now known as Fantasy
17:03:44 < Ryan> A fight with fantasy? That doesn't make any-
17:03:46 < Ryan> ...Oh
17:03:48 < Ryan> That's your name.
17:03:53 <@Fantasy> Yyyeah
17:03:55 <@Fantasy> Fantasy, the genre
17:03:59 <@Fantasy> that's my name
17:04:21 < Ryan> Okay okay. It is an hoooonor
17:04:31  * Ryan rolls his eyes as he says this
17:04:35  * Fantasy The dragon wings attached to Fantasy's helmet flap, causing him to go up into the air
17:04:41 <@Fantasy> I CAN TELL YOU'RE SARCASTIC
17:04:47 < Ryan> Oh great, those aren't just for show
17:04:49 <@Fantasy> Man I was hoping for somebody who'd /want/ a fight
17:05:04 <@Fantasy> I hope everyone else got paired up with terrible fighters
17:05:21 <@Fantasy> For crying out loud you're a knight how can you not like this
17:05:23 < Ryan> Huh?
17:05:31  * Fantasy suddenly flies down at Ryan, swinging his sword
17:05:37 < Ryan> You mean the others are each fighting another one of you?
17:05:42 < Ryan> Well tha- WHOA THERE
17:05:47  * Ryan sidesteps
17:05:49 <@Fantasy> Well DUH
17:06:00 < Ryan> DAMMIT I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CUTSCENE ENDS AND THE BATTLE BEGINS
17:06:03  * Fantasy swoops up into the air, then changes course to fly at Ryan again
17:06:09 <@Fantasy> THIS ISN'T A CUTSCENE
17:06:14 <@Fantasy> [PRESS A, PRESS A]
17:06:21  * Fantasy swings at Ryan a second time
17:06:25 < Ryan> [It's a QuickTime Event totally]
17:06:36  * Ryan parries this time, pushing Fantasy away
17:06:48  * Ryan then counters with his own diagonal slice
17:07:04  * Fantasy is a bit shocked by the parrying, allowing him to be hit by the slice - it hits him in the helmet, sending him tumbling away
17:07:24  * Fantasy rolls right up to one of the ghost knights - it brings up its sword and swings it down, which Fantasy manages to quickly roll away from
17:07:29  * Fantasy ... Right up in front of another knight
17:07:30 <@Fantasy> GAH
17:07:40  * Ryan dashes towards the enemy-
17:07:41  * Ryan stops
17:07:41  * Fantasy continues rolling away before finally flying away from the edge
17:07:54 <@Fantasy> dammit they don't pick sides do they
17:08:07  * Fantasy hovers up in the air, watching Ryan from above
17:08:15  * Ryan looks up
17:08:19 <@Fantasy> So are you just a swordsman?
17:08:25  * Fantasy stops flapping, falling down towards Ryan
17:08:41 < Ryan> Well, right now, yes
17:08:52  * Ryan prepares to strike when Fantasy is close enough
17:09:06  * Fantasy gets within range as his wings curve in front of him, acting as a makeshift shield
17:09:42 < Ryan> [Oh man Fantasy = Meta Knight]
17:10:05  * Ryan stabs
17:10:08 <@Fantasy> [I swear I made the wings before noticing anything >_>]
17:10:28  * Fantasy Ryan finds that his stab does not do well with penetrating the wings, which, being part of the helmet, are made of metal and are therefore rather sturdy
17:10:37 < Ryan> NNGH
17:10:37  * Fantasy And then there's the fact that it's a /malivari/ thing
17:10:48  * Fantasy quickly unfolds his wings, going for a slice at Ryan
17:10:54 < Ryan> !!
17:11:01  * Ryan rolls out of the way
17:11:25  * Fantasy 's wings flap, causing him to slide over to Ryan, going for a stab
17:12:00  * Ryan blocks the stab with his sword, kicking at fantasy
17:12:03  * Ryan has metal boots
17:12:20  * Fantasy Metal whats
17:12:23 <@Fantasy> *BOOT*
17:12:25 <@Fantasy> OW
17:12:34  * Fantasy stumbles back a bit, wings flapping to keep his balance
17:13:06  * Fantasy 's wings pull him up into the air, and he circles around Ryan
17:13:11 < Ryan> !!
17:13:18  * Ryan watches the malivari carefuly
17:13:34  * Fantasy Meanwhile, this room's sole dragon torch 's flames suddenly increase in intensity - the ghost knights take one step closer towards the center of the room, making the fighting area smaller
17:14:03  * Fantasy darts towards Ryan, sword held back
17:14:32  * Ryan waits in a stance, his own sword also pulled back. The sword glows white
17:15:00  * Fantasy suddenly veers to the side, opposite of whatever side Ryan is holding his sword to
17:15:11  * Fantasy attempts to quickly get to Ryan's backside and stab him there
17:16:21  * Ryan turns, slashing his sword in a crescent shape, a white trail following the sword as he does so - and hits Fantasy head on
17:16:27 < Ryan> *CRESCENT SLASH*
17:16:37 <@Fantasy> *OW*
17:16:48  * Fantasy is knocked right out of the air, sword falling out of his grasp
17:17:04  * Fantasy slides along the ground a bit before hopping to his feet, holding his head in pain
17:17:06 <@Fantasy> OW
17:17:07 <@Fantasy> /OW/
17:17:14 <@Fantasy> HOLY CRUD THAT WAS PAINFUL
17:17:21 <@Fantasy> my ears are still ringing
17:17:24 < Ryan> [So the sword is in the floor right next to me?]
17:17:28 <@Fantasy> [Yes]
17:17:32 < Ryan> !
17:17:58  * Ryan looks at the Malivari
17:18:03  * Fantasy turns to face Ryan, noticing he lacks his sword
17:18:04 <@Fantasy> ...
17:18:09 <@Fantasy> Oh you dick
17:18:18 < Ryan> Hey it was you who dropped it
17:18:22 < Ryan> Here
17:18:27  * Ryan kicks the sword towards the malivari
17:18:33 <@Fantasy> ...
17:18:35 <@Fantasy> Really?
17:18:39 <@Fantasy> ... You're really just
17:18:41 <@Fantasy> giving it back
17:18:52 <@Fantasy> after everything and I even said we're fighting to the death which means I'm supposed to be killing you
17:18:57 < Ryan> It's not like you have a chance of winning
17:19:00 <@Fantasy> ...
17:19:13 <@Fantasy> this is some sort of
17:19:18 <@Fantasy> weird fusion of assholery and kindness
17:19:19 <@Fantasy> or pity
17:19:21 <@Fantasy> maybe just pity
17:19:22 <@Fantasy> ...
17:19:29 < Ryan> [XD]
17:19:43  * Fantasy The dragon's flames grow in intensity again, knights stepping in
17:19:49 <@Fantasy> ...
17:19:53 <@Fantasy> Actually
17:19:54 < Ryan> It's not fun to fight an unarmed opponent
17:19:59  * Fantasy picks his sword up
17:20:04 <@Fantasy> So you're saying that no matter what
17:20:09 <@Fantasy> I'm absolutely going to lose this?
17:20:52 < Ryan> I'm not saying anything. It's just that you haven't managed to hit me even once
17:20:55 <@Fantasy> ...
17:20:59 <@Fantasy> Well then
17:21:07  * Fantasy 's wings begin flapping, pulling him up towards the ceiling
17:21:14  * Ryan watches
17:21:24  * Fantasy just stays there, up next to the ceiling
17:21:32 <@Fantasy> You don't see any knights up /here/, do you?
17:21:46 < Ryan> ...
17:21:58  * Ryan looks at the ghost knights next to him
17:22:03  * Fantasy flies over to the dragonhead torch, landing on it
17:22:18  * Fantasy They've still got at least ten steps before they close in so Ryan has space
17:22:20  * Ryan is aprehensive!
17:22:30 <@Fantasy> Just give it maybe ten minutes
17:22:57 < Ryan> Do you think I can't hit you up there?
17:23:08 <@Fantasy> You're just a swordsman right now. You already said that.
17:23:17  * Fantasy The dragontorch's flames increase in intensity - the knights step in again
17:23:24 < Ryan> Well, even a swordsman...
17:23:45  * Ryan reaches in his pouch, pulling out a bomb and quickly lobbing it straight at Fantasy's head
17:23:49 < Ryan> Should be well-prepared!
17:23:51 <@Fantasy> !!
17:23:53 <@Fantasy> DI-
17:23:56 < Ryan> *BOOM&
17:24:01 < Ryan> *BOOOOM*
17:24:01  * Fantasy is hit in the face with an exploding bomb
17:24:12  * Fantasy is launched right into the wall, bouncing off
17:24:12 <@Fantasy> @_@
17:24:19  * Fantasy falls down, landing on a ghost knight-
17:24:24 <@Fantasy> *SLICE*
17:24:36  * Ryan rears back
17:24:37  * Fantasy And then there was no more Fantasy
17:24:42 < Ryan> That's gotta hurt!
17:25:05  * Fantasy The dragon's flames dim down a bit, and Ryan feels the ground underneath him changing a little
17:25:12 < Ryan> ...?
17:25:15  * Fantasy It goes from feeling like cold stone to something more like... Paper?
17:25:25  * Fantasy The world around Ryan begins changing, into something more like an illustration in a book
17:25:28 < Ryan> What the..
17:25:35 < Ryan> ....What did I do now?
17:25:37  * Fantasy Then sketches, then guidelines - then just lines, and then nothing
17:25:46  * Fantasy Ryan finds himself standing on the page of an oversized book.
17:25:53 < Ryan> .........
17:25:56 < Ryan> The book, right..
17:25:58  * Fantasy Ahead of him is a single blue door, with text written on it in fancy script
17:26:01  * Fantasy "Fantasy"
17:26:06  * Ryan looks around
17:26:21  * Fantasy Ryan sees nothing but an expansive whitespace and the text on the book beneath him
17:26:34  * Fantasy And, well
17:26:36  * Fantasy The door
17:26:46  * Ryan goes up to the door, despite the fact it apparently leads to nothing
17:26:53 < Ryan> This doesn't make any sense...
17:26:58 < Ryan> (damn malivaris)
17:27:01  * Fantasy :D
17:27:02  * Ryan opens the door
17:27:06  * Fantasy Ryan opens the door.
17:27:07 <@Fantasy> !logoff
17:27:13 <@Fantasy> PART 3 COMING SOON I just need Zeph
17:27:17 < Ryan> Well that was fun
17:27:18 *** You're now known as Shonikado
17:27:26 *** Ryan is now known as Leo
17:27:27 <@Shonikado> Fantasy stands as the one I had literally nothing planned for
17:27:40 < Leo> Well it was good like that
17:27:44 <@Shonikado> Thanks :D
17:27:44 < Leo> pretty straightforward
17:27:48 < Leo> Just a sword duel
17:27:50 < Leo> Although of course
17:27:51 <@Shonikado> Well, they're all straightforward
17:28:03 < Leo> Once Fantasy started to do other things, Ryan realized it was fair game
17:28:26 <@Shonikado> Fun fact
17:28:29 < Leo> And /hey I get to use one of his normal abilities isn't that fun/
17:28:30 <@Shonikado> I had no idea Ryan had bombs
17:28:36 <@Shonikado> Yay normal abilities
17:28:37 < Leo> Amazing
17:28:58 <@Shonikado> anyway, so yeah, the only person left now is Zeph
17:29:05 < Leo> Both Ryan and Sophie carry bombs
17:29:20 <@Shonikado> Bombs are very useful items, yush
17:29:24 < Leo> Some are event stat-effect bombs
17:29:34 <@Shonikado> Stat-effect bombs? Like, poison?
17:29:35 < Leo> Like paralyzing or freezing ones
17:29:37 < Leo> even*
17:29:39 <@Shonikado> ah
17:29:44 < Leo> Poison too I guess
17:29:58 < Leo> Sophie used ice bombs in an eldred RP
17:29:59 <@Shonikado> Poison bomb would probably just be a smokebomb where the smoke is poisonous
17:30:07 < Leo> Sure
17:30:30 <@Shonikado> As a side note, when I had Fantasy sit up on the dragontorch
17:30:36 <@Shonikado> there was basically one thing going through my mind
17:30:45 <@Shonikado> |I hope Ryan has a ranged attack or he's /fucked so badly/|
17:30:53 < Leo> XD
17:31:13 < Leo> I thought you wanted me to fight the guards to reach him
17:31:26 < Leo> But I thought, |Fuck that I'll surprise him|
17:31:28 <@Shonikado> No, the guards were invincible. And ghosts.
17:31:35 <@Shonikado> Basically they were like insta-kill walls
17:31:43 <@Shonikado> like
17:31:47 <@Shonikado> like like if there were phantoms
17:31:50 <@Shonikado> just sitting around a wall
17:31:56 < Leo> Mhm
17:31:57 <@Shonikado> the ones from Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass
17:32:09 <@Shonikado> I think that's pretty much what I had in mind actually
17:32:10 <@Shonikado> huh
17:32:43 <@Shonikado> anyway, thanks for participating
17:33:21 < Leo> it was fun
17:33:32 <@Shonikado> thanks :D
17:33:38 < Leo> Oh hey Zeph is here
17:33:42 <@Shonikado> oh what
