[21:21:59] Syyva clan chatted 'Hello, Officer Donovan.'

[21:22:08] You clan chatted 'Gud day..'

[21:54:28] Agmeel clan chatted 'Curious: Am I a thing, Donovan?'

[21:54:43] You clan chatted 'Yesss.'

[21:54:50] You clan chatted 'A Consssstruct.'

[21:55:00] You clan chatted 'Not like living.'

[21:55:07] Agmeel clan chatted 'Curious: Like a couch... or signpost?..'

[21:55:43] Syyva clan chatted 'Agmeel, remember what I said. We exist on two opposite sides of the same door. Alive, not alive. Person, thing. Before the end, both of us will cease to be any of those.'

[21:56:31] You clan chatted 'Like Zombiesssz, have feelingsszz, feel szaad, feel hungry, have dreamszz, we exissst.'

[21:59:28] You clan chatted 'Any come Marshall Iukkut's funral?'

[21:59:44] Agmeel clan chatted 'No! I'll have no part in that fools burning!'

[21:59:57] Syyva clan chatted 'I will attend, to give him his rites.'

[22:00:10] You clan chatted 'Undersstand...'

[22:00:12] Syyva clan chatted 'Traitor as he was, his soul must find peace.'

 

[22:01:08] The scenery is somber as Donovan, and a few others stand over Marshall Iukkut's closed casket.

[22:01:26] Syyva bows her head.

[22:01:45] Donovan takes a step over to the podium, to address those present. 'He waszz my friend. My protection.

[22:01:56] Donovan gurggles. ' my comrade in armsszzz....

[22:02:14] Wounds open and skin falls away as Donovan rasps. ' when thingszz tuff he fought brave.

[22:02:46] Donovan begins sniveling but there are no tears. 'It tuff know all he was, and all he be is now in that box.

[22:03:13] Donovan motions to the casket on the raised dias, then begins to step down for another to say a word.

[22:03:27] Donovan continues shambling slowly back to his seat.

[22:04:17] Todd the elderly man, that's worked for Donovan for years takes the podium. 'Ahem..

[22:05:06] Donovan watches on his Todd speaks. 'My name is Todd, I oft work here tending to the bodies. This one may have caused his own death but his life was full of adventures.

[22:05:37] Donovan continues to gaze foward as Todd adds. 'A better life than being around the dead and undead all the time.

[22:06:18] Todd closes by saying. 'May he rest in peace.' As he steps down, Donovan peers over to you whispering. 'Dirgesinger turn...

[22:06:43] Syyva takes a step towards the podium.

[22:07:25] Donovan watches on in anticipation. You notice two little girls standing in the isle, creepy.

[22:08:10] Syyva said 'I did not know Officer Iukkut personally, but his legacy remains. In his prime, he was a proud Officer of the Empire.'

[22:08:48] Syyva said 'And as any proud officer deserves, his soul must find rest.'

[22:09:05] Syyva said 'Any friends and family with us this day, I ask that you bow your heads.'

[22:09:07] Agmeel glows an angry red color, ' I'll not pay respects!'

[22:09:11] Agmeel glows a soft blue color, ' I'm here for Syyva.'

[22:09:38] As you each walk in you hush your voices noticing the closed casket in the center of Donovan's Funeral Home. This must be a Memorial Service in progress.

[22:09:52] Donovan bows his head.

[22:10:19] Syyva draws out a violin, cradling it between her shoulder and chin. A long, soft note wails on, piercing the silence like a knife.

[22:10:36] Sefer said 'I'm just here to make sure the bastard is dead.'

[22:10:37] Donovan glares at Sefer and Agmeel. Hoping they bow there heads.

[22:11:03] Donovan attempts to hide a chuckle but remains serious for the rest of the service.

[22:11:06] Agmeel dims in color, and bows its head.

[22:11:21] Sefer sits back in the cornor.

[22:12:05] As her song continues, it grows louder and louder, the somber tune bringing tears to many of those watching. Syyva's own eyes let loose tears of their own, as her notes waver, and her voice - shaking and soft - can be heard.

[22:13:05] Syyva continues her tune, which draws low, and the pacing slows.

[22:13:11] Agmeel says way too loud, not understanding social ques 'Because he was a wolf! I understand!'

[22:13:33] Donovan glares at Agmeel. 'Sssh!

[22:13:46] Agmeel dims in color, and bows its head once again.

[22:13:55] As her tune continues, Syyva moves to stand before the casket. Again, she sings, and a pale blue light takes to the air, as if in a fog that cannot be seen itself.

[22:14:50] Donovan turns forward again, you think you hear a sniffle coming from somewhere.

[22:15:22] A long, low note marks the end of the song, and the pale blue light takes on the ghastly form of a skull as it rises towards the ceiling. Syyva hangs her head low, and the light disappears through the stone above.

[22:15:23] Donovan sniffles. 'Sssso beatful..

[22:16:10] As the last verses of song linger in your ears, you notice Four large male Palebearers begin to near the casket while Funeral Director Donovan supervises.

[22:16:16] Sefer said 'Death is freedom.'

[22:16:54] Each of the Palebearers take a corner of the closed casket and begin moving toward the door. Donovan motions for each of you to follow him.

[22:17:04] Donovan beckons all of you. 'Followww..

[22:17:20] Shuffling along on an ankle twisted at an obscne angle, Donovan can be seen dragging his left foot behind him.

[22:18:56] As you all enter, you notice a patch of dirt near the edge of the Cemetery. The palebearers trail behind but fiinally catch up. Donovan rasps. 'As one that was taken us goes back to dirt, anyone lasszt wordszzz?

[22:19:28] Syyva simply bows her head. 'May he find peace in the world beyond.'

[22:19:31] Sefer said 'None for me.'

[22:19:32] Agmeel glows a soft blue color, ' Thank you, Iukkut... I exist because of you.'

[22:20:06] The palebearers manage to place the casket unto the platform. Donovan gives the signal as it begins to lower into the dirt of Aabahran.

[22:20:44] You can hear Donovan whisper. Return to me my friend. Death is not the end.

[22:21:58] All is silent as the last bits of dirt covers the plot. Donovan stands in place gazing at nothing. All is silent but the occasional breeze and moans of the dead nearby.

 

[22:22:31] Wounds open and skin falls away as Donovan rasps. ' drinksss on me at Tavern.

[22:22:44] Syyva places a hand on your shoulder.

[22:22:58] Donovan attempts to hold his composure as he begins to limp away.

[22:23:03] You hear the faint scraping of footsteps as Donovan shuffles by.

[22:23:36] Tamara gives Sefer a passing glance.

[22:24:07] Donovan takes a seat at the bar, he's taking this very hard. 'Brainsssz on rockssszz please

[22:24:43] Donovan turns about in his seat. 'Aren't ya drinkin? It's on me..

[22:24:47] Syyva takes a seat next to Donovan, a sad look on her face. 'Is there anything I can do for you, Officer Donovan?'

[22:25:13] Donovan gurggles. ' drink wit meee..

[22:25:35] Agmeel glows an angry red color, ' It does nothing for me.'

[22:25:42] Agmeel glows a soft blue color, ' I'll watch though...'

[22:25:47] Sefer said 'Ill have a drink but I don't get drunk.'

[22:26:03] The bartender behind the counter gives Donovan a wink and passes him a jellyish drink of red and pink liquid. 'Thankszzz favorite..

[22:26:05] Sefer said 'One of your hardest drinks Tamara!'

[22:26:28] Tamara looks over to Sefer, 'Oi, Ain't you too young to be drinkin in me bar!?

[22:26:48] Donovan peers over his shoulder. 'Mebbe red wine for human?

[22:27:21] Sefer said 'I know I appear young in age, but that is because I do not.'

[22:27:28] Wounds open and skin falls away as Donovan rasps. ' know remember time Iukkut fought Torbalan, Tedins, and Kotrag all once!

[22:28:05] Syyva said 'He sounds ferocious.'

[22:28:08] Donovan takes another swig of that strange concoction.

[22:28:18] Agmeel said 'Curious: Did he win?'

[22:28:31] Donovan raises his hand toward you. 'Yuh! Ferocuzzz

[22:28:48] Syyva throws back a swig.

[22:29:06] Agmeel appears to be looking at the bottles on the wall.

[22:29:08] Sefer drinks from the red wine, the entire bottle... in one long gulp.

[22:29:10] Donovan looks to the back of the room where another patron shouts out. 'He won with Donovan's help! Long live Tribunal

[22:29:25] Sefer wipes the excess red fluid from his lips.

[22:29:42] Sefer said 'I have four livers, it's like drinking flavored water.'

[22:30:06] Donovan takes another swig and bangs in hand on the bar making a loud *BAM* 'Why he have to hate Zombiesszz!

[22:30:58] Wounds open and skin falls away as Donovan rasps. ' why he have work

with Knights to get rid of Undead?! Szztudpid Szzztupid!

[22:31:33] Syyva pats you on the shoulder, trying her best to offer condolence.

[22:31:54] Agmeel walks behind you, patting a bit too hard on his back. 'There,there?'

[22:32:03] Donovan lowers his head, attempting to calm down a bit.

[22:32:29] Raylith folds his arms into his sleeves.

[22:32:30] Donovan looks so sad. 'He wuz only friend Tribunal.

[22:33:27] Donovan rises from his chair. 'Shexucse meh. Musszt ussze bathroom..

[22:33:30] Syyva said 'There, there, Donovan. More friends will come soon enough.'

[22:33:36] You hear the faint scraping of footsteps as Donovan shuffles by.

[22:34:01] Donovan looks at Sefer. 'Zombie can't get no privacy?

[22:36:06] Donovan quietly slinks in, looking a bit better. He retakes his seat at the bar.

[22:36:27] Sefer said 'Death is the only true freedom mortals ever know.  You seem saddened by the loss but are they not now in a better place?'

[22:36:53] Sefer said 'Here you are plagued by disease, pain, loss and you suffer emotional damage as well.'

[22:37:04] Syyva mumbles something into her mug.

[22:37:17] Sefer said 'But in death there is nothing, truly you are free from all shackles that bound you, all vices all pain is numb.'

[22:37:50] Raylith finally speaks up from the corner, 'I must question how the act of dying can be considered freedom. Such little difference from shackles.'

[22:38:13] Donovan takes a quick look at Sefer before turning back to his drink. 'Ain't know that bedda place. Pain of Losszzz make know sztill have szzoul..

[22:38:19] Raylith said 'In death will is lost. In enslavement will is disallowed.'

[22:38:38] Syyva said 'Stop PReaching, both of you. Now iZsz not the timmme for

an ideological feud. Donovan isSz gRieving the losssSz of hiss friend.'

[22:38:48] Sefer said 'Your will is your shackle.'

Raylith sits down and rests.

Sefer says 'Donovan of all should know.'

Sefer peers at you intently.

 [Militia](Veteran) Agmeel: 'Inform: Can remove Raylith from his bonds if that will cheer you up, Donovan!

Syyva says 'Would a song help, Donovan?'

 

The Gold Dragon Inn Commons

 

  The inside of the Gold Dragon is just as impressive as it's outside.  The

whole commons sport very extravagant furniture, obviously neither effort nor

coin has been spared.  The front side of the room sports several narrow

windows which let in enough light during the day to make the room

 

comfortable.  These windows have been cleverly hidden under the dragon scale

design from outside.  The customer can choose where to sit, be it on

comfortable looking benches which are located near a fire pit or on plush

armchairs, which are set in groups around small tables to afford the

customer more privacy.  Near the exit to the stairs leading up to the guest

rooms an ebony bar has been erected, complete with ebony cupboards

exhibiting all kind of beverages the guests can indulge in. 

 

[Exits: north east]

     A long wooden bar spans the room here.

(Charmed) (White Aura) A member of the Blood Guard protects his master.

Sefer is here.

Raylith is resting here.

(Charmed) A stone golem stands here to do his master's bidding.

(Charmed) A huge three horned creature stands here.

Syyva is here.

Agmeel is resting on a bar.

Tamara the Bartender is here, lounging at her new bar.

 

Agmeel glows an angry red color and starts clapping at you, nodding.

Raylith stands up.

Sefer says 'Humans act as though life is endless until death rears it's head then you act as though there is no hope.'

Sefer says 'I will never understand emotion.'

Sefer says 'Your love for your friend was nothing more than a chemical reaction in your brain.  '

Syyva takes out a ukelale and plays a simple, chipper tune.

Sefer says 'That is what all love can be broken down to.'

Sefer says 'Why do you bury the dead in the ground?'

Donovan slams his drink on the bar, breaking it into pieces *BAM*

Sefer says 'Can anyone tell me?'

Syyva takes out a ukelale and plays a simple, chipper tune.

Syyva sings 'Sunshine, rainbows,'

Syyva sings 'Laughter? Who knows,'

Syyva sings 'Friendship, always,'

Syyva sings 'Gets me, through days,'

Syyva sings 'When I, feel sad,'

Syyva sings 'Friends make, it not bad.'

Agmeel quickly starts cleaning up the broken glass.

Sefer says 'Well, my presence seems to have worn itself out.'

Donovan turns about, raising his voice. 'Love has brought meaning. In my past life and this one. It is proof of our existenceszz, that we have ssssoulszz

You mutter quietly to yourself.

Donovan stamps out of the bar, nearly falling over his broken ankle.

Sefer chuckles at the statement as though it was a joke.

 

[22:39:47] Agmeel clan chatted 'Inform: Can remove Raylith from his bonds if that will cheer you up, Donovan!'

[22:47:06] You clan chatted 'He no care, szzeem heartlesszz..'

[22:48:01] Syyva clan chatted 'I believe that you have a soul, Donovan. You will always have a friend in me.'

[22:48:37] You clan chatted 'Believe...thankszz'

[22:49:31] Syyva clan chatted 'If you ever need anyone to talk to or work out your frustrations with, I am here for you.'

[22:50:04] You clan chatted 'You be gud employee, maybe gud friend..'

[22:50:40] Syyva clan chatted 'Why not both?'

[22:52:09] You clan chatted 'Can be. Many left down. Change mind. Die.'

[22:52:31] Syyva clan chatted 'I don't plan on dying any time soon.'

[22:53:13] Syyva clan chatted 'I couldn't bear to let down my new friend like that.'
