You have just entered room "t3hsoulroomagain."
Omega19x has entered the room.
silverbluedreams has entered the room.
FluffySongbird: ((Just a reminder to a certain couple, no hanky panky in Mahaado's head.))
ph33r my rod: (( ...*snickerdie* ))
FluffySongbird: ((His head's already messed up as it is.))
Omega19x: (thanks.)
Omega19x: A group of friends arrive at Mahaado's hospital room. His condition has neither improved nor deteriorated since he was brought in. Things seem very much the same.
Omega19x: Has it been what, two weeks now?
FluffySongbird: *all weepy*
ph33r my rod: *has Ankh, of course*
silverbluedreams: ((for the record, who's all here?))
FluffySongbird: *clings to Mado-chan*
FluffySongbird: ((Yuugi, Kat-chan...))
ph33r my rod: (( *Isis* :X ))
Omega19x: (Mahaado.)
silverbluedreams: ((ok))
Omega19x: (is Kisara joining, or just Mado chan?)
FluffySongbird: *is also weepy*
silverbluedreams: ((no, i think there's enough people here))
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
FluffySongbird: ((Okay, Just pic one. XD; ))
silverbluedreams: ((well you said you wanted mado-chan, so he's there))
FluffySongbird: ((Okay, sure. Kisara can come another time.))
silverbluedreams: ((we'll see))
Omega19x: Mahaado lies on the bed, still completely unresponsive.
FluffySongbird: *sniff* "He'll get up, soon. I just know he will..."
FluffySongbird: "..."
ph33r my rod: (( *back* ))
FluffySongbird: ((You didn't miss much. ;P))
Omega19x: They've since put a feeding tube down his nose for a more permanent solution to the IV. But other than that, there is nothing new in the room, save a few cards.
Omega19x: His boss had brought a gift as well, of origami cranes the customers had made as a get well gift.
silverbluedreams: *hugs kat-chan* "He'll get up. When, it's hard to say."
Omega19x: *no response*
ph33r my rod: *takes out Ankh* "Maybe we should see how he's doing in his mind...?"
Omega19x: (now there's a fine idea.)
Omega19x: (*prodeth the chat*)
ph33r my rod: (( *poketh* ))
silverbluedreams: ((brb))
Omega19x: (la la la la la la la)
FluffySongbird: ((Oh sorry. Nature called. ^^; ))
Omega19x: (it happens.)
FluffySongbird: *hugs Mado-chan*
Omega19x: *unresponsive*
FluffySongbird: ;~; "He gave me the pendant..."
ph33r my rod: *heck with it, just uses the Ankh already*
Omega19x: (lol)
Omega19x: And everyone is taken into Mahaado's soul room.
FluffySongbird: ((Yay.))
FluffySongbird: *magical Ankh-lapse*
silverbluedreams: ((i don't know how much longer i can last in this chat....not feeling good :x))
FluffySongbird: (Aw.)
Omega19x: The room is quite neater since the last time several of them were in there. A long line of stones forms a semicircle on the ground.
FluffySongbird: ((You can just make Mado-chan get hit by something. XD; ))
Omega19x: The stones are large, reaching up past Mahaado's waist. It's clear he didn't move THOSE on his own strength.
silverbluedreams: ((trip and fall and hit his head on one of the stones? XD))
Omega19x: (or he stayed in the hospital room.)
FluffySongbird: ((Yeah, something like that.))
silverbluedreams: ((that works for me.))
Omega19x: The magician is lying against the stone wall, resting.
FluffySongbird: *gasp*
FluffySongbird: "...Is he all right?:
FluffySongbird: *"
ph33r my rod: *walks over, kneeling down next to him* "...Mahaado?"
Omega19x: Without his magic, he wasn't aware that they had even entered. He looked up, startled. "Oh! Priestess... Little pharaoh. .. friends."
Omega19x: He tried to sit up, but just slumped back down. He and Honda had worked hard yesterday. Very hard.
FluffySongbird: *hugs* "Oh...you're all right...!"
Omega19x: "As well as I can be..."
ph33r my rod: "... It looks a bit better in here since the last time I was here. You must have been working hard."
Omega19x: "Much progress has been made."
FluffySongbird: "You've done well. I know you can patch things up."
Omega19x: The rubble has all been sorted through, for the most part. At least, between normal stones, stones with carvings, crystal, papers, and miscelaneous.
Omega19x: He groans weakly. "I will try."
ph33r my rod: "We know you can do it... we have faith in you."
FluffySongbird: ((Now I don't feel like using Kat-chan anymore. Shall we say that he's in the hospital with Mado-chan?)
Omega19x: (okay)
Omega19x: Though, it's probably at least a little unnerving that two weeks have passed, and he still doesn't even possess the strength to stand in his own soul room.
Omega19x: "Honda helped build this. I... was unable to move the stones." he looked down, regretful.
FluffySongbird: "It's all right. you're exhausted."
Omega19x: "Some things, unlike the contents of this soul room, have not improved..."
FluffySongbird: "Don't worry about it."
Omega19x: The magician sighed. It was like Honda had told him. He needed to accept his limitations, or he was never going to make it back to consciousness.
ph33r my rod: "Right... if you try to do more than what you can do, then it'll only slow you down further."
Omega19x: "Why does the first ring of stones have to be the biggest ones?"
Omega19x: There are a couple pieces of stone there that are close to Yugi's height.
ph33r my rod: "Because it can only get easier once you have them in place... I think."
Omega19x: He pauses a minute, and then looks up. "Please... my friends. Can you help me?"
FluffySongbird: "Sure. You've helped us."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "We'll help in any way we can..."
Omega19x: "On the bottoms of the biggest stone pieces are hieroglyphs. They match those on the floor, the circumference of temple. That's how we know where those stones fit."
Omega19x: "I have tried, but with all the strength I currently possess, I can neither move the stones, or even tip them over."
Omega19x: "I cannot build the first level... without help."
Omega19x: His eyes are cast to the floor. "I am completely helpless..."
FluffySongbird: "No you're not. We'll help, too..."
FluffySongbird: *tries to pick a huge stone up*
Omega19x: "Do not injure yourself, little pharaoh, please."
ph33r my rod: *tries to help*
FluffySongbird: *puts it down* *tries to find a smaller one*
Omega19x: Fortunately, it is easy to tell which stones are the bottom level. They are the biggest, and all have very flat bottoms.
FluffySongbird: "Oh, man..."
Omega19x: The magician watches them struggle, and it pains him to see his friends reduced to that kind of hard labor.
FluffySongbird: "We...can...do...it..."
ph33r my rod: *push, shove, lift, etc*
FluffySongbird: *ditto*
Omega19x: *any progress?*
ph33r my rod: *minimal, I'd guess*
FluffySongbird: "Ugh. They're so hard..."
Omega19x: After a while, Mahaado cannot stand the sight. He forces himself to his knees, and weakly crawls to his companions. He leans against a stone with all his body weight, and tries to push it. All he does is fall down.
FluffySongbird: *runs to Mahaado*
Omega19x: His body collapses next to the stone.
ph33r my rod: *runs to him too*
FluffySongbird: "Are you all right?!"
Omega19x: *groans weakly*
Omega19x: "... why, Ma'at, can I not even have the strength to help myself?" he whispers to the stone floor.
FluffySongbird: "It's all right, Priest... But don't overexert yourself."
ph33r my rod: "Right, it's no good if you tire yourself out before you even regain any strength..."
Omega19x: "I... know."
FluffySongbird: "Maybe...Isis would pick up the heavier ones and I'll pick up the lighter ones."
FluffySongbird: ((Bad idea, considering they're roughly the same weight.))
ph33r my rod: (( XD And Isis is taller; so she's actually smaller than Yuugi if you take the height-weight ration into consideration. @_@ ))
FluffySongbird: ((I think Yuugi could use a smarter mun.))
Omega19x: He just lies there.
Omega19x: (while I'm on the phone.)
FluffySongbird: "Oh, Priest..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *helps him sit up a little* "We may not be very strong, but we'll help the best we can..."
FluffySongbird: *also helps*
FluffySongbird: ((Man, this is going NOWHERE. XD; ))
ph33r my rod: (( ...nope, not really. :X; ))
silverbluedreams: ((want me to bring in mado-chan?))
Omega19x: (well, in the beginning, four people could probably move stones better than Yugi and Isis.)
ph33r my rod: (( He might be more help than these two are. XD If you're feeling up to it, then it'd probably be a good idea to bring him in. ))
FluffySongbird: ((If you're feeling better, yeah.))
FluffySongbird: ((Kat-chan, you too.))
silverbluedreams: ((sure, i'll give it a shot. i think the body has calmed down enough))
FluffySongbird: ((Kat-chan: But I don't wnna! ;_; ))
FluffySongbird: ((>())
FluffySongbird: ((Kat-chan: Okay... T___T))
Omega19x: *the others, wondering what is taking everyone so long, go in with the ankh next.*
silverbluedreams: *Mado-chan looks around and notices the cleaner environment. Slowly he approaches the group.*
FluffySongbird: *runs after them*
Omega19x: The magician weakly lies against the stone, helpless and powerless.
silverbluedreams: "I see you've been busy. Trying to rebuild alone?"
fai tiger has entered the room.
Omega19x: The magician weakly shook his head. "No... friend Honda built this. I have been unable to do much of anything..."
Omega19x: And speak of the devil...
Omega19x: (food. I'll bbl0
fai tiger: (...okay)
ph33r my rod: (( ...*ded* ))
silverbluedreams: ((food sounds like a good idea....))
Omega19x: (my mahaado just lies here. For now. Until I return.)
fai tiger: ((So... anything particular I need to know?))
silverbluedreams: ((construction continues))
FluffySongbird: ((Um... we're helping Mahaado with... stuff.))
fai tiger: ((Okay. Honda is happy to know that he's not the only one offering help.))
FluffySongbird: *tries to lift one*
FluffySongbird: "Owww~!"
fai tiger: *appears*
silverbluedreams: *walks to Katsuya* "Don't be so foolish. These can't be lifted alone. We'll have to do it together."
FluffySongbird: *blush* "Oh...okay."
fai tiger: *looks around* "...Um, hi..."
fai tiger: *wanders over to random stone to help too*
FluffySongbird: "Hi, Honda-kun!" *smile*
fai tiger: *smile* "Hey, if I'd known you all would be here I'd have come by the hospital sooner."
fai tiger: *looks back to stone and pokes it* "...No weird hurty-thing this time? Good."
FluffySongbird: "Oh,. good! We could really use your help!" *grabs a stone with Honda*
ph33r my rod: *is sitting there with Mahaado, having already found she's nowhere near strong enough to move these things* "...'this time'?"
silverbluedreams: *joins them* "It'll be easier if we all move them one at a time."
fai tiger: *glances over* "Yeah, this time. One of them apparently didn't want to move last time I was here."
FluffySongbird: *joins everyone as well.*
FluffySongbird: *joins too*
fai tiger: *shrug* "Mahaado said it felt like he was being torn apart or something like that, so I didn't move that one."
fai tiger: *gestures over* "It's that one over there, with the baby carved on it..."
FluffySongbird: "..." *blink*
fai tiger: "...What?"
FluffySongbird: "I guess we'd better not move that one..."
fai tiger: "I guess it was already where it needed to be."
fai tiger: *goes back to poking a stone* "Where does this one go?"
silverbluedreams: "Hells if I know..."
fai tiger: *pause...* "Check the bottom. There should be a marking."
silverbluedreams: *nods* "All right, let's roll this thing over and have a look."
FluffySongbird: *helps tip it over*
fai tiger: *helps tip it over*
fai tiger: *looks* "Hm... okay."
FluffySongbird: "Hm?" *looks*
fai tiger: "There should be a matching one on the floor... somewhere."
fai tiger: *wanders off to look*
silverbluedreams: *looks, then points* "It's over there."
fai tiger: "Oh... okay then." *wanders back*
FluffySongbird: *runs*
fai tiger: "Then that's where it must go." *starts moving the stone*
silverbluedreams: *pushes and curses in Egyptian.*
fai tiger: *glances up* "Something wrong?"
silverbluedreams: ((any youngins here? mado-chan has a bad habit of swearing))
fai tiger: ((Nope, don't think so.))
silverbluedreams: ((okay))
silverbluedreams: "No....just really fucking heavy..."
FluffySongbird: ((I think we all knew that. XD; ))
fai tiger: *decides not to mention that he can move them by himself...*
silverbluedreams: ((captain obvious over here))
silverbluedreams: ((he's still recuperating...give him a break))
fai tiger: ((Yeah, Honda and I know.))
fai tiger: *helps push the stone*
FluffySongbird: ((Random note: I'm tempted to draw Mado-chan as Daisy, to go with the Yuugi Peach.))
fai tiger: ((*snerk*))
silverbluedreams: ((oh gods))
ph33r my rod: (( ...would that make Kat-chan Luigi? ))
FluffySongbird: ((Yes.))
fai tiger: ((lol))
FluffySongbird: ((The Super Jounouchi Bros.))
fai tiger: ((...Dare I ask about Shiz?))
silverbluedreams: ((it would be really amusing if a new crack!plot came of that))
FluffySongbird: ((Yeah, where we get to step on turtles. XDDD))
ph33r my rod: (( ...Shiz = Wario. :X *shot* ))
FluffySongbird: ((Maybe I'll make Shiz Wario.))
FluffySongbird: ((XD;;; ))
ph33r my rod: (( *snerk* ))
fai tiger: ((lol))
FluffySongbird: ((...What would Shizuka be?))
FluffySongbird: ((Mokuba=Bowser))
fai tiger: ((Heh. Think I know what that makes Honda then.))
FluffySongbird: ((What? XD; ))
FluffySongbird: ((Oh. *snerrrrrrk*)
fai tiger: ((*evil grin*))
silverbluedreams: ((explanation for those of us who are clueless? XD))
fai tiger: ((Honda's one of the one characters that puts up with Mokuba willingly.))
FluffySongbird: ((I think it's all because Kat-chan calls Jou 'Onii-chan', since they're fake siblings and all.))
fai tiger: ((Is still cute.))
FluffySongbird: ((Someone's got to be the Goombas.))
fai tiger: ((Yes!))
FluffySongbird: ((Okay, I should stop watching the old Mario anime and start RPing.))
fai tiger: ((But it's so amusing.))
FluffySongbird: ((Yeah, the voices really suck. No wonder I watch dubs. XD; ))
FluffySongbird: ((And Luigi's in blue. ><; ))
fai tiger: ((*snerk*))
ph33r my rod: (( ... It's very weird when your friend's AIM gets hijacked by their pervy brother. ))
fai tiger: ((Ack.))
FluffySongbird: ((OMG. That's why I never reveal anything to my family.))
ph33r my rod: (( Well, she went AFK and left her AIM logged on. XD; ))
fai tiger: ((Ah.))
FluffySongbird: ((That sucks.))
FluffySongbird: *helps...and stuff*
silverbluedreams: *helps push the stone to where it's meant to go*
Omega19x: (back. And the kurribo can be a goomba. Since the japanese name for goombas are kuribos.)
fai tiger: ((Heh, didn't know that.))
Omega19x: (yeah, in Super Mario 3, the big green shoe was called kuribo's shoe. It was left untranslated.)
Omega19x: The magician leans against the stone, watching his friends do what he cannot..
fai tiger: ((Cool.))
fai tiger: *helps move stone...*
FluffySongbird: ((Actually, I think 'Goomba' is slang for 'man' in Italian.))
FluffySongbird: ((Please don't step on the Kuribohs. ;_; ))
silverbluedreams: ((that wouldn't be fair to Azizi))
fai tiger: ((*pats Azizi*))
Omega19x: (we love azizi!)
ph33r my rod: (( 8D *snugs Azizi* ))
FluffySongbird: ((Can we step on another Duel Monster?))
fai tiger: ((...The guy with the really big shield? He probably wouldn't mind much.))
silverbluedreams: ((how about a real ugly one?))
fai tiger: ((Like who?))
silverbluedreams: ((haga's bugs are kinda ugly...pick one from his deck XD))
Omega19x: (sangan.)
ph33r my rod: (( Let's step on Cyber Jar. That thing is a biiiiitch in the card game. D: ))
fai tiger: ((Heh. Works for me.))
silverbluedreams: ((then it's settled))
Omega19x: *and a bunch of stones get moved*
Omega19x: (hey, can Ryou be in your Mario picture?)
FluffySongbird: ((Is the Cyber Shield small enough?))
FluffySongbird: ((Well... Ryou can be a... ummm... Toad. XD; ))
Omega19x: (toad?!)
FluffySongbird: ((The little guys with big round hats.))
Omega19x: (I know who Toad is.)
ph33r my rod: (( ... If Ryou's a Toad, then what would that make Malik? XD ))
FluffySongbird: ((...*brainfart*))
FluffySongbird: ((Umm... another Toad. XD; There are bazillions of them.))
fai tiger: ((Heh.))
Omega19x: (but he doesn't have a white head.)
Omega19x: (I can picture Ryou being toad with his white hair having a couple spots on it.)
FluffySongbird: ((Oh, whatever. Toads come in all shapes, colors and sizes.))
FluffySongbird: ((Actually, I think those things are hats.))
FluffySongbird: ((I mean, think of the princess.))
Omega19x: (yeah, but these are a bunch shrooms)
FluffySongbird: ((How was the princess made? Or was she a mutant creation?))
fai tiger: ((She's royal, they're special.))
FluffySongbird: ((Meh, let's just drop this. Mahaado's dying.))
FluffySongbird: ((Though I think it's odd that I made Yuugi Peach, when you know that Peach is really taller than Mario.))
fai tiger: ((*nod* But anyways...))
fai tiger: *is moving stones*
silverbluedreams: *also moving stones*
FluffySongbird: *helping Honda move stones*
Omega19x: (lol)
FluffySongbird: *helps Mado-chan*
Omega19x: And stones are moving now.
silverbluedreams: ((are we making any headway?))
FluffySongbird: ((I suppose...))
fai tiger: ((I'd say yes.))
Omega19x: By now, thanks to their combined efforts, at least two thirds of the circumference has been filled in. The outlines of a couple of archways are visible now, where the doors to this temple would be.
Omega19x: The headway they are making is amazing.
silverbluedreams: ((*does happy dance*))
fai tiger: *looks around* "Wow."
FluffySongbird: *grows a bit tired*
Omega19x: The magician, though weak, is impressed. He has tried on numerous occasions to get up and help, but each time, he just collapses again.
FluffySongbird: "Oh! Be careful!"
fai tiger: *looks over at Mahaado* "Any idea what the next step is?"
silverbluedreams: "Damn it would you stay put?! Keep this up and you'll just make more trouble for yourself. You need to rest."
fai tiger: *rolls his eyes and smiles a bit* "He just doesn't listen."
silverbluedreams: "Tell me about it."
ph33r my rod: *still sitting there with Mahaado, for the record* "Yes, please... don't strain yourself."
ph33r my rod: (( *alive, rly* ))
fai tiger: ((Heh.))
Omega19x: "I... am grateful to you all. I am forever in your debt."
FluffySongbird: "Just stay there. We'll all be glad to see you as yourself again."
Omega19x: "There are only a few more of the large stones left, am I correct?"
FluffySongbird: *huff* "Yeah..."
fai tiger: *goes back to stone-moving* "Seriously though, what comes after moving the first layer of stones? I don't see enough for the next row."
FluffySongbird: "Oww..." *hold arm*
Omega19x: In the few hours that they have slaved, most of the bottom layer has been built.
fai tiger: "What's wrong Katsuya?"
FluffySongbird: "I...I can't do anymore..." *looks sad*
Omega19x: "Look over the wall..." he gestured to what was behind them, massive piles of sorted stones, stretching quite some distance.
FluffySongbird: *faints*
Omega19x: "K..Katsuya."
silverbluedreams: *catches him* "Wonderful...."
fai tiger: *stops* "Note to everyone... know your limits."
silverbluedreams: "I keep telling him to watch himself."
FluffySongbird: "But I wanna help too..."
silverbluedreams: "No. You've had enough Katsuya."
ph33r my rod: "..." *stands up* "Katsuya, you should rest. I can try to help, in your place..."
fai tiger: "Go sit with Mahaado and Isis. Be... the planning committee or something."
FluffySongbird: "But Mr. Mahaado needs me..."
silverbluedreams: *moves him over to his other self.* "You're resting and that's final."
FluffySongbird: ;~;
fai tiger: "He needs you not hurting yourself."
Omega19x: "I... will take your place."
FluffySongbird: "...Okay..."
FluffySongbird: "No!"
silverbluedreams: "You are supposed to be resting too!"
fai tiger: *rolls his eyes* "No Mahaado. Sit."
FluffySongbird: ((Good doggy. XD; ))
Omega19x: (... woof...)
Omega19x: (beat me to it!)
fai tiger: ((lol, so didn't notice that til after he said it.))
Omega19x: (rofl)
silverbluedreams: ((does anyone else watch or has ever watched Inuyasha?))
Omega19x: (fwump.)
FluffySongbird: ((YES. XDDD))
Omega19x: (been there, done that, have the costume.)
Omega19x: (*pokes Honda-mun/my Kagome.)
silverbluedreams: ((my first thought after Honda's 'sit'))
FluffySongbird: ((My sister watches it more than I do, and she's only 12. She's been a fan for three years.))
ph33r my rod: (( ... That would be PAINFUL if Mahaado was sat like Inuyasha was. x_X ))
Omega19x: (that kind of power could only be used on puppies... Like Jou or Kat-chan.)
FluffySongbird: ((He'd be DEAD.))
fai tiger: ((Good thing Honda is not Kagome.))
FluffySongbird: ((XDDD; ))
FluffySongbird: ((...Naughty thoughts...))
fai tiger: ((Honda =/= magic))
silverbluedreams: ((i could have too much fun with that....))
ph33r my rod: (( ...mental images... ))
fai tiger: ((*is ignoring mental images*))
Omega19x: (ART BUNNY!!)
FluffySongbird: ((Nah, Mado-chan already has magic. He can suspend Katsuya in the air and have his way with him.))
Omega19x: (quick! someone draw a Honda!Kagome sitting a Mahaado!Inuyasha)
FluffySongbird: ((Do you want to scare everyone? ! XDDD; ))
FluffySongbird: ((And I thought drawing Mado-chan/Kat-chan pr0n would shock everyone...))
Omega19x: (yes. lol)
FluffySongbird: ((*IS actually doing that...but not now. >>;*))
Omega19x: Mahaado sits.
Omega19x: As if he ever really got up in the first place.
fai tiger: *goes back to moving stones once he's convinced that Mahaado won't get up*
FluffySongbird: *is feeling a bit tired since he's so small*
ph33r my rod: *starts... trying to move stones*
FluffySongbird: *shoulder aches like heck*
fai tiger: *tips over another stone* "...Okay, don't think I've seen that one before..."
fai tiger: "Anyone know where this marking is?"
Omega19x: There are only a few places left where it could be, thankfully.
fai tiger: *wanders off to look for it since he's getting no answer*
FluffySongbird: *still wants to help Priest but is hurting*
Omega19x: The magician looks down, slowly accepting that he cannot do anything but watch his friends slave at the stones.
silverbluedreams: ((sorry trying to fix dinner))
FluffySongbird: ((It's okay.))
fai tiger: *finally finds the matching marking*
silverbluedreams: *is thankful there aren't many more to go now*
FluffySongbird: *falls*
ph33r my rod: *struggles to push*
fai tiger: *is too far away to catch Yuugi*
Omega19x: *gasp* "Little pharaoh!"
silverbluedreams: "All right, I think you'd about had enough little one." *helps him stand*
fai tiger: "...New plan: I finish moving these last few stones while you guys figure out what comes next."
silverbluedreams: "Like hell you're doing it alone. Don't need you to go off and hurt yourself either."
fai tiger: "Okay fine, you and I will do it."
Omega19x: It pained the magician to watch another of his friends fall.
FluffySongbird: "B-but..."
Omega19x: "No... No one else needs be hurt on my account, please. "
fai tiger: "Hey, Mahaado, did you ever sort through those stones with pictures on them we found? Those probably have an order to them."
ph33r my rod: *rubs arms, deciding to stop before she overexerts herself*
silverbluedreams: *moves Yuugi to where Katsuya is.* "Don't bother arguing. You've had enough."
FluffySongbird: "But I need to help the priest..."
Omega19x: "I have not sorted through them all, but there seems to be only a couple dozen of them." he answered Honda.
silverbluedreams: "I said no."
Omega19x: "And no, little pharaoh. You have done more than enough."
FluffySongbird: "..." *whimper*
Omega19x: The magician sighs.
fai tiger: *shrug* "Just thought that might be something people could do without tiring themselves out."
silverbluedreams: "Don't make me tie you down..."
FluffySongbird: *gulp*
fai tiger: *...no comment...*
silverbluedreams: *pervert!!*
FluffySongbird: ((*snerk* When will the innuendo ever end...? ))
fai tiger: *goes back to moving stones while they argue*
FluffySongbird: ((Cheater. XDDD; ))
ph33r my rod: *moves back over to the resting people* "Really, it's no good if you overwork yourself... it'll take longer to regain energy if you do."
FluffySongbird: ((I thougth Mado-chan was faithful.))
FluffySongbird: *pants*
FluffySongbird: ((Besides, Jou will be angry.))
Omega19x: "I cannot thank you enough, good priestess. My friends."
silverbluedreams: ((didn't mean it like that!!!!! XD))
fai tiger: ((He'll invite Jou over after he ties Yuugi up?))
Omega19x: (do all the hard work for Jou so he doesn't have to)
fai tiger: ((*snicker*))
Omega19x: After a little while, there's only one more stone left on the bottom level.
fai tiger: *walks over to it*
silverbluedreams: *joins him*
FluffySongbird: ((I'm tempted to bring Shiz in now, even if she wouldn't fit.))
Omega19x: *watches*
fai tiger: *starts moving the stone, since there's no need to tip it over to check the hieroglyphs*
Omega19x: He sits up more.
ph33r my rod: *watches*
FluffySongbird: "Wait. Priest..."
silverbluedreams: *helps to push the stone, this one not nearly as heavy*
Omega19x: (shivers with antici...............)
silverbluedreams: ((o.O))
Omega19x: (......pation.)
fai tiger: *stone gets where it belongs*
Omega19x: And the first level of stones is complete!
FluffySongbird: *sighes* "Oh, good..."
Omega19x: (WOOT!)
fai tiger: (Yay!)
FluffySongbird: "Katsuya-chan?"
ph33r my rod: (( :D ))
FluffySongbird: "Hm?"
silverbluedreams: ((*victory dance*))
FluffySongbird: *girns* "YAY!"
fai tiger: *stretches*
FluffySongbird: *gets up and runs to everyone*
ph33r my rod: *smiles*
silverbluedreams: *Breathes a sigh of relief*
Omega19x: The magician blinks for a moment, slowly coming to his knees.
Omega19x: Cautiously, he tries to stand, bracing himself against the wall.
FluffySongbird: "Be careful!"
fai tiger: *walks over and watchs*
Omega19x: His legs are unsteady, but he is able to support himself somewhat. The magician holds on to the wall, so that he doesn't fall again. "I feel stronger than before."
Omega19x: "Not much, but... I feel stronger."
fai tiger: "Good."
FluffySongbird: "Oh, that great!"
silverbluedreams: "I'd be surprised if you didn't. It'll all come back as this place gets rebuilt."
FluffySongbird: "I must thank you, even if I didn't get to do much."
FluffySongbird: "But you're so much stronger than me, Yuugi-kun."
fai tiger: "So, on to the next step."
Omega19x: The magician smiles. He really smiles. "I could not have done this with out you. I could not have."
ph33r my rod: *looks at Mahaado* "See, it's not completely hopeless..."
fai tiger: *looks around* "Uh... what is the next step? No one ever answered me..."
FluffySongbird: "huh?"
Omega19x: "The next step would be the second level." the magician answered.
FluffySongbird: "...Okay." *still wants to help*
fai tiger: "Yeah, but..." *looks around* "What?"
Omega19x: "But I still do not know which stones go where. From here on up, it will certainly be a long puzzle."
fai tiger: *sigh* "Okay then... That's all I wanted to know, if anyone else knew which ones are next."
FluffySongbird: "Oh, God..."
ph33r my rod: "...we just have to keep building it up."
Omega19x: "Perhaps there is a stone with a carving to get me started, as there was before."
fai tiger: "...That's kinda why I asked about the picture stones."
FluffySongbird: "Um...Is there any way I can still help?"
Omega19x: "I do not know yet." the magician carefully tested his weight as he took a step towards the open doorway.
silverbluedreams: ((maybe something that could wait? everyone seems at their limit....))
ph33r my rod: *stands near Mahaado in case he falls*
FluffySongbird: *clings to Mado-chan*
Omega19x: The magician is grateful for that, because he stumbles several times before he finally reaches the pile of carved stones.
FluffySongbird: *is near Mahaado so he can support him* "So, um...what do they say?"
silverbluedreams: ((brb...feel free to move mado-chan wherever necessary))
ph33r my rod: *helps keep him steady*
Omega19x: They can all look through them. Various carvings are etched into the stones. They are not words, but actual pictures.
fai tiger: "Any childhood memories?"
Omega19x: One has a young Mana being instructed. Another has a snake. One has the sennen ring. One has the wicked thief, Bakura. One has a wand. One has his former master.
Omega19x: "I am looking."
FluffySongbird: *tries to follow the story, or whatever they could be saying*
Omega19x: He pulls out the stones in no particular order. "Here is one of the magician's training grounds."
fai tiger: *nod*
FluffySongbird: "Hm..."
Omega19x: "This one looks as though it depicts me as a child, meditating." He looked at the stone. The boy in the image looked to be about four.
fai tiger: "The thief would be towards the end..."
FluffySongbird: *looks as well*
Omega19x: He continues to dig through them. "Here is one of the pharaoh's court."
fai tiger: "Would that be before or after the one with that guy?" *points to the former master one*
fai tiger: *continues looking and trying to make sense of them*
FluffySongbird: "So, um...this is what happened in your Egypt?"
Omega19x: "Before. Apprenticeships began at age ten."
fai tiger: "Ah, okay."
Omega19x: "In parts, you might say that."
fai tiger: "Well, Mana obviously comes after the childhood stuff. She before or after the pharoah court one?"
Omega19x: "Before. I began instructing her before I was invited to join the sacred court."
fai tiger: *nod*
ph33r my rod: *looks* "The one with the Ring... that would be after that then, correct?"
Omega19x: "It would be around the same time. The sennen items were made prior to my time on the sacred court. When I answered the call, the ring allowed me to be its bearer."
fai tiger: "Ah."
fai tiger: "...What's the snake one?"
FluffySongbird: *nods*
Omega19x: "In the palace, while I was taking a break from practice, the pharaoh asked me to watch the young prince. There was a snake in the tree, ready to bite the prince."
Omega19x: " I jumped in the way, so that it would not harm him. The snake bit me instead."
fai tiger: "Ah. Okay then."
FluffySongbird: "Oh..." *gasp*
ph33r my rod: "Oh dear..."
fai tiger: *takes the explanation as completely normal*
Omega19x: "I had received training in poisons. It was not too dire. But the future pharaoh helped draw the poison out."
FluffySongbird: "That's a relief."
Omega19x: "Mana was there. She was but a young student at the time. It was noble of the prince to assist me. He did not need to do so."
fai tiger: *continues looking at the pictures* "So, getting an idea of what order they go in? Or should we let you sort them and come back later?"
Omega19x: Mahaado just sits there for a minute. A lot of these were memories he had not sorted through in a long while. "You have been so helpful. I am forever in your debt."
FluffySongbird: "It's all right..."
fai tiger: *puts a hand on Mahaado's shoulder* "It's what friends do. You want some time alone to look over these and remember for awhile?"
Omega19x: He looks through more stones, and finds several that depect lessons he learned at the training grounds: Air spells, fire spells. Water and earth spells.
Omega19x: "To be honest, I am grateful for your company." he smiled.
FluffySongbird: *looks over as well*
fai tiger: *nod* "Okay."
fai tiger: *sits down next to Mahaado*
Omega19x: he pulls out one of the illusion magician. "Interesting."
ph33r my rod: *sits too*
fai tiger: "Hm?" *glances at the picture*
FluffySongbird: *sits, wary of his shoulder*
silverbluedreams: ((back))
Omega19x: "This would be from my apprenticeship, when my heka was strong enough to reveal my ka."
FluffySongbird: "Wow..."
Omega19x: He finds a few other stones like it, depicting mock ka battles with his master.
fai tiger: "Well, guess that tells us where they go in the timeline."
silverbluedreams: *stands by and watches*
Omega19x: He then finds one he did not expect to see. A picture of Thoth, handing a scroll to both himself and Isis. And with the carving was the sennen spellbook.
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
Omega19x: He looked up at the good priestess.
FluffySongbird: *wonders if Mado-chan will tell him more about his own childhood*
fai tiger: "...Guess the thief picture isn't last after all."
Omega19x: "This one is quite recent."
FluffySongbird: *looks at the stone and wonder's what's going on*
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Only a few months ago, if I remember correctly..."
fai tiger: *nod* "Yeah, I heard about it..."
Omega19x: "It was the day we were granted the spell that could translate the sennen spellbook. Isis journeyed with me." he added. "Such powerful magic, from the gods themselves."
fai tiger: "Makes sense that it'd be a strong enough memory to be made into a picture-thing."
FluffySongbird: "I bet many more stones will be created after this, right?"
Omega19x: "I suppose so. I do not remember creating them."
Omega19x: "But they are here."
FluffySongbird: "not by you, I meant, but..."
Omega19x: "Somehow, I am certain that the last stone I lay will have an image of this very temple." he smiled to the little pharaoh.
fai tiger: "Makes as much sense as anything else."
Omega19x: He pulls out a stone with carvings of potions. "I first started learning potion making in my apprenticeship. During the later half." And he put it in the timeline.
fai tiger: *looks over the timeline in interest*
FluffySongbird: "Do you want us to help you?"
fai tiger: "...Isn't that what we're doing already?"
FluffySongbird: "Oh..." *blush* *looks down in shame*
fai tiger: *lightly pokes Mahaado* "Lost in thought there?"
Omega19x: Before he could answer Yugi, he found a stone of a very small version of himself. A mere toddler, with a tiny plaited lock of hair. He was in the arms of his parents.
Omega19x: The magician was lost in thought.
FluffySongbird: "Oh...is that...?"
fai tiger: *drops his hand when he looks over*
Omega19x: "I barely remember them." Mahaado answered, as though he really did need the stone to jog his memory. "My father was a scribe. He worked closely with the magicians."
fai tiger: *hesitantly puts an arm around Mahaado's shoulders* "Ah..."
FluffySongbird: "What happened...?"
Omega19x: "They believed I had a great deal of potential. He left me at the training grounds when I was three. It was the last I saw of him."
FluffySongbird: "Oh..." *looks down sadly*
fai tiger: "Must have been really hard for them to do that, for you."
Omega19x: "My mother, she died in childbirth, before I turned three. I barely remember her at all. The baby died." he whispered.
FluffySongbird: "I'm sorry..."
Omega19x: "It was not too uncommon." he glanced up at the other Mahaado. "Many children of our time share similar experiences."
fai tiger: *stays quiet*
FluffySongbird: "how sad..."
Omega19x: "many children died young."
ph33r my rod: "..."
ph33r my rod: (( *alive, I swear* x.x ))
Omega19x: (lol)
Omega19x: (good timing for that line.)
Omega19x: (since, you know, we're talking about people who aren't alive.)
ph33r my rod: (( ...eheh. 8D; ))
Omega19x: "Were the magicians not interested in me, I would have been trained as a scribe, like my father." He held the stone with his parents on it closely.
FluffySongbird: "You're lucky."
fai tiger: *rubs Mahaado's arm lightly* "Sounds like he really cared..."
Omega19x: "Through the grace of Ma'at, I was given such an opportunity. It was a rarity of our time. Though some made even greater strides. Priest Seth was a gypsy's son."
Omega19x: He glanced at them all. "This is the stone that goes next..."
fai tiger: "Okay. Think it goes above the first picture stone?"
Omega19x: "I do think so."
Omega19x: He held on to Honda, slowly standing again.
fai tiger: *helps Mahaado up*
Omega19x: Slowly, and with a litlte bit of help, he makes his way back to the first stone, and places this second one on top of it. It fits perfectly.
fai tiger: *watches quietly*
Omega19x: And, as though it were magic, when the stone snapped in place, it could not be moved again.
Omega19x: "You were correct, my friend. This is where it belongs."
FluffySongbird: "Wow..."
Omega19x: "But it appears I have much work to do... You need not stay for that. I have taken enough of your time."
fai tiger: *nod* "Okay, as long as you promis not to over work yourself again."
ph33r my rod: "Yes... please be careful, Mahaado."
Omega19x: "The stones are in managable fragments now. I should be fine." he answered. "And I have finally grown at least a little stronger."
FluffySongbird: "I hope so... I wouldn't want you to get hurt."
fai tiger: "Yeah, you have."
Omega19x: "It feels good to stand on my own strength."
Omega19x: Of course, just as he said that, he lost his balance and fell to the floor. "It is a start, at least."
Omega19x: "A start that would not have been possible without you all..."
fai tiger: *smile* "Yeah..."
FluffySongbird: "I really hope you'll wake up soon, now that you're stronger."
FluffySongbird: "Please...wake up..."
Omega19x: "I will try. But there is still a long way to go..."
FluffySongbird: "We'll still help along the way."
Omega19x: He looked up at them all. "Thank you. Thank you, my friends."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "We're happy to help."
FluffySongbird: "Thanks for letting us be there."
Omega19x: The magician decides to rest before attempting to place more stones, and the group of friends soon find themselves back in the hospital room again.
Omega19x: Outwardly, even with the small victory won, there is no change in Mahaado himself. He is still unresponsive.
FluffySongbird: ((So, it's finished?))
Omega19x: (I believe so.)
Omega19x: (a major victory in Mahaado's soul room was attained. good job guys!)
ph33r my rod: (( w00t! ))
Omega19x: (I do hope someone is taking care of the kuribo.)
fai tiger: ((I assumed Mana was...))
Omega19x: (nobody has brought Azizi by to visit his owner... Though, I don't know if you're allowed to take duel monsters into the hospital)
fai tiger: ((Probably not.))
FluffySongbird: ((Since it's not even housebroken.))
fai tiger: ((Heh.))
Omega19x: (it is too housebroken!)
Omega19x: (Mahaado succeeded in paper training his kurribo a long time ago)
Omega19x: (now if only he could train him to not try to run outside when someone opens the door and to not always beg for cookies.)
FluffySongbird: ((XD; ))
fai tiger: ((Heh, good luck with that.))
FluffySongbird: ((I'm gonna leave now.))
Omega19x: (me too.)
Omega19x: (I'm getting tired.)
Omega19x: (goodnight everybody!)
ph33r my rod: (( Night~ ))
