• Imaran stood, arms hanging loosely at his side. "Sir, with all due respect, if you are looking for an explanation, I'll give you one gladly, but I know for certain that my sister and I feel justified in our actions." (NT) -- Imaran, 22:22:39 02/14/04 Sat
• Crello nods once, gravely. "Please, do tell us this explanation.” (NT) -- Crello, 19:32:44 02/18/04 Wed
• Imaran nodded in submission. "My sister and I have been running for our lives from the family of this bandit. We would move from place to place, and somehow, some member of this bandit's family would always manage to find us. Countless times we escaped barely by the skin of our teeth. And we came here, but still he managed to find us. He had been the last of his family. You saw the havoc he wreaked, didn't you? And he got away with a brand on his forhead. But Crystaline and I still had fears that he would come silently from the dark one night, and take both our lives. How long were we supposed to live with this fear? How long did were we to cringe around every corner, in fear that some unfriendly being would plunge their dagger into our hearts? So we took the option that would end the whole feud then and there." (NT) -- Imaran, 22:40:10 02/18/04 Wed
• "But you obviously did not take the option to think beforehand." Crello leaned forward slightly, and his voice hardened. "I am not so dim-witted as to send out a proven threat against my people, as such the bandit was, unwatched and unguarded. Bandit was to be watched until he was far on his way through the Forest. We were watching as you encountered him and attacked." (NT) -- Crello, 15:56:02 02/20/04 Fri
• Imaran looked thoughtful... (ooc: More inside.) -- Imaran, 14:43:02 02/21/04 Sat
• Crystaline felt her chest grow tight. She hated being under a spotlight. She was glad that she wasn't Imaran standing before the council just now. She discreetly interlocked her fingers with Twilight. (NT) -- Crystaline, 16:48:16 02/22/04 Sun
• during the pause after what Imaran said Qu stood up "I'm sorry, but, I really have no idea why it is that I'm here. I had nothing to do with the fighting between these people, I only carried Imaran to his home. Why am I called before the council? What offence have I made?" (NT) -- Quuephe Thundertrom, 20:22:34 02/23/04 Mon
• Crello turns his gaze from Imaran to Qu. “One moment, Quuephe. Please sit down.” He waits for Qu to seat himself before returning to Imaran and the rest of the group. “I understand that you and everyone else wanted to protect yourselves, but chasing after an armed and dangerous criminal was not the way to do this. The bandit had much more experience in fighting then any of you, and even though you had him outnumbered, he held the advantage of the fight. Killing him was a lucky chance. Following him was an incredibly dangerous act, as Twilight learned.” He paused, gathering his breath. “It is my responsibly to protect the members of this Colony, and I cannot allow you to risk your lives in such a way until you have proven yourselves by way of dragon quest.” (NT) -- Crello, 17:18:20 02/24/04 Tue
• Imaran shook his head, and closed his eyes, as if he were in pain. When he opened them again, he said, "That is a matter of opinions, whether he was more expirenced than I. However, I will not argue with you. If there is a punishment to be had, I will take it. The only thing I ask is that since it was my idea in the first place, and also since I was the only one that fought, punish only me." Imaran looked pleadingly up at Crello, and the others. (NT) -- Imaran, 16:51:18 02/25/04 Wed
• Twilight stood up at this point. "No, Imaran. It was NOT just you. I should have stopped you, therefore, let him punish both of us. I would say just me, but then you'd just yell at me. So I say punish both of us. But not Crystaline. Leave her be." (NT) -- Twilight Moon, 18:07:53 02/26/04 Thu
• Imaran nodded at Twilight, thankful for the support. "Yes, leave the girls out of this." (NT) -- Imaran, 19:10:13 02/26/04 Thu
• Crystaline stood up as well, and began to scold Imaran and Twilight. "You both know darn well that I'm as guilty of any crimes as either one of you!" She turned to Crello, "I will also take my punishment gladly." (NT) -- Crystaline, 19:18:01 02/26/04 Thu
• "people. Please. Listen to yourselfs. You sound like children squabbling over her gets the last piece of pie! What ever you say, Crello will announce the councils judgement on you, what ever you do. Gladly or grudgingly, you will take your duty in this offence. please, sit down, I wish to be about myway and buisiness. I know well I am not wanted in thy company. Prithee, I pray thee, sit. (NT) -- Quuephe Thundertrom, 22:32:27 02/26/04 Thu
• (ooc: We're just passing time, and having fun at the same time. It's not as though there is anything else to do while we wait) (NT) -- Impatiently, 12:07:20 02/27/04 Fri
• "Well, it seems to me... That I'm guilty from the laws and by my 'HONOR' I will recieve it but if you punish them then by all means. Let the punishment go around to all of us." She talked while not looking at the counsel but glaring at Quuephe. (NT) -- Faye, 20:40:09 02/27/04 Fri
• Crystaline shook her head, and sat down once again. She laughed inwardly at Faye, but still she wondered whatever it was that the man did to deserve Faye's heckling. (NT) -- Crystaline, 23:20:41 02/27/04 Fri
• standing, Qu addresses Crello "Sir, I would that thou wouldst administer unto mine own punishment that I might be departed from this company, which I have, unfortunatly, been recently associated with. I am unwanted with them, and I would that I could depart from their company. I pray thee, give me mine punishment that I might be about my buisness" (NT) -- Quuephe Thundertrom, 10:10:25 02/29/04 Sun
• Twlight smiled recklessly, his old rogue days getting the better of him. He skipped over behind Quuephe, and punched him lightly in the shoulder. "Aw come on Quuephy... We don't hateyah, we just don't enjoy your uppitiness!" Twilight said with a grin. (NT) -- Twilight Moon (Getting back to his old self again thank goodness...), 17:33:46 03/01/04 Mon
• Qu decided to ignore the comment, as it was clearly another insult. OOC thats how he's seeing it. (NT) -- Quuephe Thundertrom, 15:26:07 03/02/04 Tue
• Crystaline moved up to Qu, and said, "We don't hate you. Actually I am very grateful to you, for helping us bring Imaran home. I'm not sure why Faye has such an aversion towards you. For the life of me, I can't figure out what you've done." She shot Faye a glance that said, "Cool it with the insults, all right?" And then she continued. "But I don't blame you for being angry, I would be as well, if I were in your shoes." (NT) -- Crystaline, 22:04:00 03/02/04 Tue
• (ooc: Or boots, or slippers, or sandals, or whatever it is that you are wearing. Clodhoppers?) (NT) -- Crystaline, 18:45:11 03/03/04 Wed
  • ooc clogging shoes, doesn't everyone wear those now-a-days????? (NT) -- quuephe player dude, 21:47:33 03/03/04 Wed
    • (ooc: no, I think we wear more raggedy torn up boot-ish thingys nowadats... Oh holey moley, and we draw on them like crazy man!! CRAZY!! I am SOOOO hyped up on this energy drink right now! It's cool!!!!!!!!) (NT) -- Crystaline's player, 22:34:10 03/04/04 Thu
• OOC: Don't worry about it. I get frustrated too, because I can't get on. Sorry about the mono! BIC: Crello waits for a few minutes before speaking. “I wanted to explain something to you, the originators of the plan. I understand, Imaran, that you were worried about your family, that you were trying to protect them.” He pauses again, gathering his thoughts. “Perhaps I should have been more clear on this beforehand. The brand on the Bandit’s forehead was enchanted. Not only were we able to know the Bandits exact location, but if ever he came within the vicinity of the Colony, he would have been paralyzed until I undid the spell. You were never in any danger,” he said, including Twilight in his gaze, “until you went after him in person. Again I apologize, but I did not believe you would try anything so rash. It is my duty to protect this Colony, and I take that very seriously. It would have been my responsibility if any of you had been killed.” (NT) -- Crello, 11:32:22 03/23/04 Tue
