*The ESCHER is using its impulsors as impromptu melee weapons, slamming clowns to the floor, or blasting holes through them, but is very much in the process of being dragged down, due to power drain making it close to impossible to use impulsors defensively*

*Marla and Maria wave in greeting to anyone present including new people /things.

*Maria*
Welcome.
*seen stranger round here than a talking fox spirit*

...

*Furia paces on upper levels getting frustrated that no news on anything at all is coming back*

...

*Hanna sits sipping her coffee quietly*

Ooc me have a few.
Family graduation. Count in alcohol.

OOC: Hey gaiz, long time no see this part of Dakka
It looks like the RP structure has changed a little since I was last here... What's the custom, and what's going on atm?

Things changed. Anyone free to join still and will explain and outstanding plots going on though. Ye welcome as ig ot was page one, one thousand or 25 thousand.

Also I'm...well.. Out of loop a tad as... Well kinda had alot of free prosecco after a graduation!

OOC:
At the moment not a whole lot is going on. 2 of my characters, Verviedi's character are running from a bunch of killer clown esque demons. And a bunch of characters are just hanging out in a former Imperial Assassin base. Welcome back Selym.

BIC:
*Milo and Hrorki are both running like their butts are on fire, which is to say they're going super fast*

OOC: Hi Wk ^.^

BIC:
*Farseer Irilis sidles pretentiously out of some kind of portal into the Assassin's Base*

*shouts into it*

"You lost this war before you started, fool!"

*portal closes and Irilis turns to face the room, looking somewhat roughed up*

OOC:
Also, don't be overly concerned if replies are slow in coming, we've been kind of in a slump of sorts lately. I won't go into the specifics, but posting has slowed down a fair bit.

*Hanna jumps at the shouting*

*She doesn't like hearing about war*

OOC Sorry if I don't reply quickly. Still at school.

OOC: Last working day of college today for me :3
Off to Uni this September.

BIC:

*sees Hanna and strikes a haughty pose*

"And what are you?"

*Hanna backs off and doesn't say anything*

Hanna: (Maybe if I ignore her she'll go away...)

*She holds in a whimper of fear*

OOC Good luck mate.

OOC: Welcome back Selym
BiC:

*Iris quickly stands up and puts herself between Hanna and Irilis*
*She stands tall, over 7 and is the picture of conventional attractiveness, athletic, but still with perfect curves. Also her skin is blue and her hair silky white.*
Iris: Easy Hanna, it's okay...
*She smiles kindly at Hanna and squeezes her shoulder then turns to face the Farseer*
Iris: This is Hanna, my name is Iris. Who are you may I ask?
*Despite the haughtiness, Iris smiles disarmingly at the Eldar Woman*

*Hanna nods and shifts behind Iris*

*She holds onto one of Iris's arms*

*a lock of hair falls uncouthly onto Irilis' face, and she seems to become aware that she's not exactly the spitting image of finesse right now*

*reduces haughtiness rating from 11*

I am Farseer Irilis, of Craftworld Ærouin. Where am I and who are you?

*begins dusting herself off*

*Iris blinks*
Iris: Well, I already told you, my name is Iris. My full name is Iris the Rainbow Goddess.
*Waits for a second or so before continuing because people have had bad reactions to her calling herself a goddess before.*
*Upon not immediately seeing one she continues speaking*
Iris: As for where you are... Well you're in a Imperial base, or at least it was a Imperial base. I don't know what the planet is called though, I'm sorry for not being so helpful

*Irilis straightens up, and begins trying to put her hair into a ponytail*

It's better than I usually get.

I'm stuck here for a while, what do you do for fun around here?

*Iris seems a little stuck on what to say*
Iris: Er... Well not much right now. We've mostly just been stuck here, hiding from invaders... Fun's not really been a priority.
*She shrugs then smiles slightly*
Iris: We've mostly been reading, I've been getting to know Hanna here.
*She smiles down at Hanna and ruffles her hair in a motherly fashion*

*Hanna calms slightly from the hair ruffles and lets go of Iris's hand*

*Hanna likes the sound of fun*

*Irilis fails to ponytail her hair, gives up, and pulls out a chessboard*

*despite reducing her haughtiness, Irilis still has a fairly condescending tone*

Do you know how to play this?

Ooc

Mine are blonde, sisters, 5'4/5'6, Martian in origins, Marla has ice blue eyes and matching highlights in ice blue, Maria golden blonde with eyes that are gold.

My character list will expand back once in back in propper posting as I'm currently away at a family graduation.

*Furia heads in fairly slumping her shoulders as no news on much*

*looks over to Iris and selym. And grabs a meal and coffee*

Hello. News of beyond hall and clan?

...

*Maria waves over*
Welcome to the last remaining place on the planet intact known.
Fun Iris? You and Horus managed ro find some time alone.
*teases her a tiny bit*

Names Dr Maria, and she,s my sister Marla, a doctor like me.

*Marla waves and sips a coffee trying to work put what her strange feeling was quietly thinking to self*
(Can't be... He never been seen in weeks... Surely... )
*teeny bit hopeful but not wanna have them dashed again*

*Iris nods and smiles to the Farseer*
Iris: Of course I do, I've played that game for millennia!
*She walks over to the table, sits down and pats a spot for Hanna to sit next to her*
Iris: Come on Hanna, why don't you come learn how to play Chess?
*She looks over at Maria, smiling knowingly*
Iris: Oh yes, you could say that.

*Hanna nods to Iris*

Hanna: O-ok...

*She is still slightly afraid of Irilis*

*Irilis sets up the chessboard and places the pieces*

*somehow manages to give off an air of bored superiority*

Which version of chess do you know?

*Iris crosses her legs calmly, fully aware she's probably about to get her butt kicked in chess, but happy to be able to show Hanna how to play*
Iris: Is there more than one kind? I was unaware of that. I'll play whatever version you choose.

*Irilis has already taken out several complicated apparatuses, many of a crystalline nature, but reconsiders*

Perhaps that's not the best idea. I'm going to assume you play the Mon'keigh version.

I choose black. Your move.

*Iris nods*
Iris: Sounds good! Now then, Hanna, this is how you play Chess...
*She plays rather averagely, partially because she's explaining all her moves to Hanna, making it super easy to read everything she's doing and counter it.*

*Hanna listens and watches*

*She seems to like the idea*

*She smiles and goes to say something but stops herself*

*She want's to play chess but is afraid she'll have to go against Irilis*

*Irilis spends several turns matching Iris' average plays, and leaves weaknesses in her defences*

*Looks up at Hanna and grins wryly*

Watch this.

*Somehow makes it so that all the white pieces have swapped places with all the black pieces*

*Iris frowns and blinks*
Iris: How did you-
*She stares at Irilis*
Iris: Okay seriously, how did you do that?
*She frowns and continues to play, losing spectacularly*
