I13DT - Now Deboarding the Baggage Compartment

by **Narrator** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 1:22 pm

"I can eat, but that... meal... will keep me going for a while yet," she said, lifting the other dead creature and throwing it off the trail. "Scavengers will smell the blood and the bodies, we should keep going." If she had heard their conversation, she gave no indication of it.

"Oh, okay." she says, unwrapping one of the bars for herself instead.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 4:19 pm

"...yeah, the things that eat these are kinda worse."

"I can take you as far as the village. They will welcome the daughter of Ka-zar. If you wish, I can guide you further than that, but they will not allow me in the village." She began leading them through the jungle again.

"Just cause of your hand?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 6:38 pm

"Because she reminds them of... someone nobody in the Savage Land wants to think about."

Kliran turned her head to the side and spit. "I would also like it if you did not mention the name again. It is bad enough being compared to that... thing. There is no sense in angering the Great Ones or tempting fate by speaking his name aloud."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 6:49 pm

Kay frowns. "That hardly seems fair for you."

by **Narrator** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:27 pm

"Life here is hardly fair. I'm surprised the da... I mean Brigid, has not conveyed that to you."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:30 pm

"People with powers around here usually end up with the Mutates. It's kind of a vicious cycle, because what the Mutates usually do... really doesn't make people want to trust people with powers."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:37 pm

"Where do you live then?"

by **Narrator** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:39 pm

Kliran spread her arms wide, hands up to the sky, "The Great Ones provide for me."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:46 pm

"Oh. You don't have a home anymore?"

by **Narrator** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:02 pm

"I believe that would be the definition of being, as you said, 'kicked out'."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:09 pm

"I just thought... I dunno. I got kicked out by my parents, but I still got a place to sleep..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:13 pm

"Not everyone's that lucky, even back where you're from."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:24 pm

"I... I guess..." she says, feeling kinda stupid.

by **Narrator** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:33 pm

"I have explored a bit. There are many interesting things to see, so it is not all sadness."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:43 pm

"Oh! Yeah. Living in the jungle and having adventures has gotta be pretty cool sometimes, right?"

by **Narrator** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:48 pm

"Adventures are dangerous and nasty things. They usually involve pain at a minimum."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:58 pm

"Well they're not adventures then. Those things just kinda suck..." she says meekly.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:59 pm

"Can't all be fun."

by **Narrator** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 9:44 pm

"I don't know that anything that might be called an adventure has ever been fun," she said, ducking under some low-hanging branches.

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 9:51 pm

"Then you're using the word wrong..." Kay grumbles to herself.

by **Narrator** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:48 am

Kliran changed the subject, "You might be able to get mounts in the village. They would gladly lend the assistance or at least that was the attitude the last time I was there. I doubt things have changed that much."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 9:35 am

"Will you... be okay? I mean, I know this is what you do, but..."

by **Narrator** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 9:45 am

"I'm not sure I understand," she said, glancing over her shoulder at Brigid. "Are you concerned about me?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 1:55 pm

"It just... feels weird to just leave you."

by **Narrator** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 2:02 pm

"Why so? You didn't know me before today and once you've gotten to your parents, you'll never see me again. Best not to get attached." She motioned to some plant in the way, "Don't step on that, it might try to eat you."

by **Kay Haddock** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 2:34 pm

"You helped us a bunch. Just feels wrong to not do the same..." she interrupts herself for a second to carefully step over the plant. "...the same for you."

by **Narrator** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 5:52 pm

"You're outsiders, there's not a lot that I think you could do," she said, making a face at the plant before moving on.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 5:57 pm

"Well, maybe I could..." wheels are clearly turning.

by **Kay Haddock** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 6:03 pm

"Oh! Yeah, your parents could probably do something!" Kay chimes in.

by **Narrator** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 6:12 pm

"My state is not something that I think think the great Ka-zar or Shanna should concern themselves with. They have greater things to concern themselves with," she says. She stops without saying anything, leaning down to put her right hand against the ground, murmuring softly to herself.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 6:48 pm

"Well, we'll see..."

"...after they're done being mad at me."

by **Narrator** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 12:34 pm

After a moment, she stands up. "Okay, the way is clear. We should keep moving." There was a roar from up ahead and to their right that moved away from them into the distance rapidly.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 12:42 pm

"How did you know?" Kay asks quietly.

by **Narrator** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 12:45 pm

"Souls as big as a King's are easy to sense and with the proper prayers to the Great Ones, I informed him that there was a tasty herd of Tall Necks that would make a much better meal," she said, sniffing the air before setting off at a decent pace.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 12:50 pm

"Your people are stupid for kicking you out. That's awesome."

by **Narrator** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:27 pm

"They have their reasons."
