HF 030 Hank and Rune visit the Agostos

[10/7/16, 9:56:54 PM] Josh: You two ride.  Sadly, it's about noon and there is no sunset to ride off into.

[10/7/16, 9:58:57 PM] Caleb L: Why do we always need to buddy up? It is just visiting my parents.

[10/7/16, 10:02:29 PM] Rune: Because horrible things happen when we split up, Hank.

[10/7/16, 10:02:37 PM] Josh: You arrive at the Agosto home fairly quickly.  Kai looks ready to fly off periodically, but Hank kept him trotting.

[10/7/16, 10:03:06 PM] Rune: Rune made him let her be in the front again just in case.

[10/7/16, 10:04:20 PM] Caleb L: Yes and having more people doesn't mean it is going to be better.

[10/7/16, 10:04:32 PM] Josh: You arrive.

[10/7/16, 10:04:47 PM] Caleb L: Caleb L goes and knocks on the door

[10/7/16, 10:04:56 PM] Rune: Rune tries to look presentable.

[10/7/16, 10:06:04 PM] Josh: Morab answers the door.  "Hank!  You come home again, yes.  And hello again.  You being same girl, yes?"

[10/7/16, 10:06:15 PM] Rune: Rune smiles and waves at her cheerfully.

[10/7/16, 10:07:31 PM] Caleb L: Yes good to see you mom.  Is Detek in?

[10/7/16, 10:08:12 PM] Josh: Morab: "Yes, your papa.  He is inside, yes."

[10/7/16, 10:08:48 PM] Caleb L: Caleb L will give his mom a hug and enter the house.

[10/7/16, 10:09:38 PM] Josh: You enter the house.  Detek is sitting in the living room, reading a book.  He turns to see you both enter.  "Hank!  Good to see you.  How are you doing?"

[10/7/16, 10:10:47 PM] Caleb L: Not great it has been a rough couple days.

[10/7/16, 10:11:16 PM] Josh: Detek: "I'm sorry, son.  Wanna talk about it?"

[10/7/16, 10:11:27 PM] Rune: Rune waves.

[10/7/16, 10:11:42 PM] Rune: I can go make some tea in the kitchen if you want to talk about it alone.

[10/7/16, 10:12:07 PM] Josh: Morab: "We go.  You help me?  Yes?"

[10/7/16, 10:12:21 PM] Rune: Of course!

[10/7/16, 10:12:23 PM] Rune: Rune smiles.

[10/7/16, 10:12:42 PM] Caleb L: I would but I am not sure if you would agree.

[10/7/16, 10:15:00 PM] Josh: Detek: "What wouldn't I agree with?"

[10/7/16, 10:16:19 PM] Caleb L: Well the first big piece of news is winter has fallen.

[10/7/16, 10:17:06 PM] Caleb L: And then maybe we can talk about how long you were in service to the fey?

[10/7/16, 10:18:38 PM] Josh: Detek: "I see."

[10/7/16, 10:18:44 PM] Josh: Detek: "...is Quill alright?"

[10/7/16, 10:19:29 PM] Caleb L: Yes

[10/7/16, 10:20:31 PM] Josh: Detek: "That's good.  ...what do you need to know?"

[10/7/16, 10:21:53 PM] Caleb L: First answer the question of how long you were in service to the fey.

[10/7/16, 10:22:04 PM] Josh: Detek: "...a very long time."

[10/7/16, 10:22:18 PM] Josh: Detek: "I was in and out for a while."

[10/7/16, 10:22:45 PM] Josh: Detek: "I'd say I was first there...about a thousand years ago."

[10/7/16, 10:23:52 PM] Caleb L: And do you know any reason that Damh would willingly work with the Marquis?

[10/7/16, 10:24:51 PM] Josh: Detek: "...you need to understand, when I was there, the Marquis wasn't The Marquis."

[10/7/16, 10:25:49 PM] Caleb L: Then who was he?

[10/7/16, 10:26:26 PM] Josh: Detek: "Many people.  Karabas would give him a new name, he'd try it, it didn't take, and he eventually got the title to make up for it."

[10/7/16, 10:29:03 PM] Josh: Detek: "If you want my opinion, I'd say Damh's trying to win and the Marquis...well, fuck me if I can ever tell what he's doing."

[10/7/16, 10:30:14 PM] Caleb L: And what is Damh's version of winning consist of?

[10/7/16, 10:31:00 PM] Caleb L: Because allied with the Marquis and merrshaulk and winter down it seems like he has won already.

[10/7/16, 10:31:20 PM] Josh: Detek: "That does sound like winning."

[10/7/16, 10:34:15 PM] Caleb L: Well I guess that is it.  Oh as a warning watch out for the drow vampires. We kind of annoyed them.

[10/7/16, 10:35:09 PM] Josh: Detek: "...vampires don't scare me."

[10/7/16, 10:35:12 PM] Caleb L: Rune you can join us if you want to.

[10/7/16, 10:36:34 PM] Josh: Detek: "Hank...if Damh's won...I don't know what he'll do...and that should scare us."

[10/7/16, 10:37:31 PM] Caleb L: What can he do if he's won what does that mean other than he controls the Feywild.

[10/7/16, 10:38:31 PM] Josh: Detek: "It means he has to find something else to occupy himself...something bigger."

[10/7/16, 10:39:25 PM] Caleb L: Do you know of anyone who could talk to him and convince him not to trust the Marquis?

[10/7/16, 10:40:06 PM] Josh: Detek: "...he always hung around with this one guy...centaur...Vorpol, I think his name was."

[10/7/16, 10:40:58 PM] Caleb L: Oh he is real then?

[10/7/16, 10:41:30 PM] Josh: Detek: "...what?"

[10/7/16, 10:42:21 PM] Josh: Morab re-enters the room with Rune and a tray.  Morab is looking shocked at Rune.

[10/7/16, 10:42:37 PM] Caleb L: Long story short.  When winter fell me and Quill got stuck in the inbetween and the Marquis showed a vision of the fall of winter.

[10/7/16, 10:43:11 PM] Caleb L: Everything ok?

[10/7/16, 10:43:20 PM] Rune: Oh yes. I told her about the dragon baby.

[10/7/16, 10:43:22 PM] Caleb L: Call

[10/7/16, 10:43:49 PM] Rune: ((Ack, was that me? If so, sorry!))

[10/7/16, 10:43:50 PM] Josh: Morab looks at Hank as she sets down tea.  "You can tell me anything, yes?  I will love you no matter what."

[10/7/16, 10:43:56 PM] Josh: ((S'ok))

[10/7/16, 10:44:56 PM] Caleb L: What else did you tell her?

[10/7/16, 10:45:47 PM] Caleb L: And by dragon baby you mean dragon that tried to melt me I assume?

[10/7/16, 10:46:26 PM] Josh: Morab: "...she no say that."

[10/7/16, 10:46:28 PM] Rune: The baby that some heartless person left all alone in the sewers.

[10/7/16, 10:46:59 PM] Rune: And to be fair, I frightened the poor thing half to death, so that was really my fault, Hank.

[10/7/16, 10:48:23 PM] Caleb L: Maybe but the vampire biting me was definitely my fault.

[10/7/16, 10:48:51 PM] Caleb L: And I don't see why a dragon "baby" would shock you mom.

[10/7/16, 10:49:35 PM] Josh: Morab looks petrified at this point.

[10/7/16, 10:49:49 PM] Josh: Morab: "...could you not be tailor?  No one bite tailor."

[10/7/16, 10:50:03 PM] Caleb L: Did I mention it was a rough week.

[10/7/16, 10:50:15 PM] Rune: They weren't very good vampires. I don't think we were in any serious danger.

[10/7/16, 10:50:32 PM] Josh: Detek: "The rough week came up."

[10/7/16, 10:50:53 PM] Rune: And now we've got a guard posted outside, so it's quite safe really. It'll be paperwork and diplomacy all the rest of the week. Safe as houses.

[10/7/16, 10:50:56 PM] Josh: Morab: "I not even care if you be gay.  Be gay tailor.  They make money and you can adopt."

[10/7/16, 10:51:43 PM] Caleb L: What did you and my mom discuss Rune?

[10/7/16, 10:52:24 PM] Rune: Just what we've been doing lately and the future and that sort of thing, why?

[10/7/16, 10:52:47 PM] Josh: Morab: "She say you may like boy named Quill.  Which, is good, yes."

[10/7/16, 10:53:33 PM] Rune: Quill's a musician--a very good one. I think classically trained.

[10/7/16, 10:53:41 PM] Josh: Detek has his face in his hands, to hide his laughter.

[10/7/16, 10:54:59 PM] Caleb L: Well thanks for the tea I think we have stuff to do.  So have a good afternoon.

[10/7/16, 10:55:27 PM] Caleb L: Caleb L will get up flustered ready to leave.

[10/7/16, 10:55:29 PM] Rune: All right.

[10/7/16, 10:55:41 PM] Rune: Bye! Thank you for the tea!

[10/7/16, 10:55:51 PM] Josh: Detek: "...snrk...al...always good to see you, son."

[10/7/16, 10:56:03 PM] Josh: You guys leave.

[10/7/16, 10:56:25 PM] Rune: Your mother is so nice.

[10/7/16, 10:57:15 PM] Caleb L: Yep.

[10/7/16, 10:57:33 PM] Rune: ... I think that's the first time I've ever seen the point of them. Mothers, I mean.

[10/7/16, 10:58:13 PM] Caleb L: To embarrass their children?

[10/7/16, 10:58:48 PM] Rune: Oh, no! Why would you be embarrassed? No, to take care of people. Even adult people. And love them and go on loving them.

[10/7/16, 10:59:58 PM] Caleb L: I guess.

[10/7/16, 11:00:02 PM] Rune: I mean, I knew that in my head but I didn't really know it, that's all.

[10/7/16, 11:00:54 PM] Josh: Taeral: "...Rune...it's possible we should talk about how to tell when people...like each other."

[10/7/16, 11:01:52 PM] Rune: I don't really know how. Some people don't like to show it.

[10/7/16, 11:02:00 PM] Rune: Do you like Quill?

[10/7/16, 11:02:21 PM] Caleb L: Meanwhile I found out a name for someone who might be able to talk to Damh.

[10/7/16, 11:02:33 PM] Rune: Oh, who is it?

[10/7/16, 11:03:28 PM] Caleb L: Vorpal a centaur who acts as his advisor, me and quill saw him in the inbetween Marquis vision thing.

[10/7/16, 11:03:46 PM] Rune: I didn't tell her you did.

[10/7/16, 11:04:14 PM] Rune: In case you wondered.

[10/7/16, 11:04:35 PM] Caleb L: No she likes to assume based on the tiniest hints.

[10/7/16, 11:05:25 PM] Rune: She just wants you to be happy. But I could see where that would be awkward.

[10/7/16, 11:07:23 PM] Caleb L: Especially when the last couple weeks have been the craziest of my life.  Liking someone like that is definitely secondary to surviving the crazy stuff we deal with on a daily basis.

[10/7/16, 11:08:11 PM] Rune: That's true. Though I doubt things will get much quieter.

[10/7/16, 11:08:29 PM] Josh: About now, you are starting to approach the prison.

[10/7/16, 11:08:50 PM] Josh: You may rejoin the chat, at your leisure.

[10/7/16, 11:09:33 PM] Rune: If you want me to tell her you definitely aren't interested in Quill, or me, I can do that too you know.

[10/7/16, 11:12:00 PM] Caleb L: Don't worry about it, I can do that myself if she gets to insistent.  Let's head in and make sure nothing bad happened to the group.

[10/7/16, 11:12:25 PM] Rune: Right!
