Character lodge

[Kal]

J:  *sighs*  "SHUT UP ALREADY!!!  Look, no fighters, no conflicts, no guns-"

L:  But you have a gun.

J:  "I know!  But I'm the only one without a reason to kill you all, so don't give me one!"

R:  Number one rule of the lodge.  No fighting, no killing each other.  This is a neutral zone, and the staff of the lodge will enforce that.  Hate each other all you want, but leave the bloodshed to the battlefield.

J:  "I don't wanna have to keep tellin' y'all, and I'm not taking sides.  So just sit down, hate each other quietly, and order somethin'!  And no killing each other in your sleep!"

[Guest Whirlpool]

*Comes out of kitchen carrying a large tray full of mugs a pot of coffee**sets tray on coffe table in the middle of the room*

"'Couldn't find the hot chocolate mix, so I made coffee. *pause* I want pancakes now. I think I'll go make some. ~<3"

*goes back to the kitchen*

.....Did she just bring us all coffee while we're threatening to shoot each other?

"..Um....Apprently...."

[Lilacs]

.....Did she just bring us all coffee while we're threatening to shoot each other?

To a bunch of meat eaters?

[Kal]

J:  "Yyeah, she's kinda...well, not dumb, but...unobservant."

"Alright, count of three, everybody drops their guns.  One, two, three!"  *doesn't*

[Sideways]

Do you see a gun on me?

[Guest Whirlpool]

*Something flies out of kitchen and hits Kal in the head*

"Hol, did you just throw a spatula at me?"

"Nope, I did." *Trep leans out of kitchen with pancake*

"Why?"

"*eats pancake* I don't have to answer that. Want a pancake?"

"...No thanks."

"Your loss. Holly's not a bad cook. Anyway, you're not gonna get anyone to drop their guns like that. They're not stupid. And I doubt that these guys *motions to the Eras* are gonna be that willing to just drop their weapons and enjoy a cup of coffee together. (Why did she bring that out anyway?)"

"Then what exactly do you suggest I do?"

"Hm. Well, there's always fire. Or knives. Both of which we have in the kitchen.....*evil look*

"NO. Just....no. Go back to your pancakes."

"*shrug* Fine, fine.... I'm taking Scruff up to her room. She fell asleep on the floor." *picks up Holbrook* "Have fun with, Jasho." *heads up stairs, stops and turns around* "Just remember that the oven can still spit flames if you ask it nicely."

"*sigh*  I"ll keep that in mind...."

"'Kay then. Later." *goes upstairs*

[Kal]

R:  You know she's right, Jasho.  I was wondering why you tried something like that, anyways.

J:  "Yeah, yeah, it was a good idea at the time.  So your turn."

R:  I was wondering when you'd say that.  Who was here first?

J:  "Uh...*points to Lilacs*  Him.  Why?"

R:  Because I've been waiting to try the new security system.  And you just provided the parameters.

J:  "Hm?"

All Eras but Lilacs:  *prick*  Ow!  Wait, what?  *fyoosh!*

J:  "...Well, that's one solution."

R:  Indeed.  I needed a use for the tag rifles after the Venom mission.  *sentry guns decloak*  It's the only peaceable use I could come up with for them.  That was a warning, however.  The next time they attempt to start a war in this lodge will not be as...pleasant.

Wait...wait...where'd they go?!

R:  They're fine.  I changed the tag location.  It will take them a while to return, if nothing else.  I apologize for tagging your men as well, but I wanted to maintain neutrality.

But...but...I-

J:  "Hold up, buster.  Your turn to do the explaining.  Who the hell were those freaks?  And why do they all want ya dead?"

-----------

...

K:  ...

*slowly whirs back to life* Ugh...

...I'm...this is the lodge, yes?

K:  Yeah, it came back here.

!  Did he...did it say why?

K:  Yeah, seemed to be going after Holbrook, of all people.  Kinda strange.

...Why am I in a hogtie?  -_-

K:  Heh, Jasho found the EM shackles you had upstairs.  They came in handy.

Well, get me out of here!

K:  Wait...how's the Demon?

Pissed that it couldn't play much longer.  I blacked out around the time of the...the...oh God, is Lilacs upstairs?

K:  Yeah.  You know those troopers weren't your fault.

You're assuming Lilacs is as forgiving.  He holds grudges like you do.

K:  ...

Just get me out of these shackles.  I'll...stay down here a little longer.  *ka-Shyuu~!*

*gets up and stretches a little*  Ah, I need a moment anyways.  Go on upstairs.

...Hey, where's the rest of the Demon?!

K:  In the kitchen.  But you gotta come up first.    See ya!  *goes upstairs*

---------

K:  Good news, it's passed over.  What...what'd I miss?

[Four-eyed Vulpine]

*a humanoid red fox named Novar, wearing black boots, green cargo pants, and a gray t-shirt under a hooded green jacket opens the door and comes in*

Woah, crowded.

[Lilacs]

*The Leaf Eras return*

*Grabs Jasho*Grrrrrr.......

This is new.

Rifle Grunt: Try that again and Katara will get a Leaf Battle Tank on your ass!

Battle tank, she wouldn't dare.

The Frill's right this small party isn't worth the gas, ammo or men of a Battle tank.

J: Whats a Battle tank?

The biggest baddest tank class ever made by Era hands. With a good strategy the tank could level a entire city.

Still doesn't say how you came back.

Leaf are full of surprises.

[Four-eyed Vulpine]

Novar:  Holy crap, look at all the guns.

*I walk further inside and sit down at a table, seemingly indifferent to the many firearm trajectories I pass through on my way there*

So, what, exactly is going on?

[Kal]

J:  "That's exactly what I wanna know!  *eyes Lilacs*

R:  The tag rifles were for security purposes.  No one was harmed in the transfer, I presume.  It was a warning.  I do not wish for this lodge to take up any side in this conflict.  The purpose is to provide a haven from conflict, not a front for it.  Keep the peace and you will not be tagged again.

Now then, Jasho, get some food for the commanders.

J:  "But they-"

R:  Are still our guests here, and we will treat them as such.  Perhaps that girl could assist you for when the other groups arrive.

J:  *sigh*  "Fine, fine...*goes back to the kitchen area*  Wait, where'd she go?  Where'd Holbrook go?  What's that girl's name?  Waah!"

R:  Upstairs, Jasho.  You don't need her just yet.

Ignore him for the moment.  Now, would either of you care to explain what is behind this conflict?

[Guest Whirlpool]

*Has just come back downstairs* "......Did I just miss something important here? Anyway Jasho, Holbrook's asleep. I can lend you hand if you want though."

[Lilacs]

Well It happened, back ago a couple of years

*Crawls out from under the sofa*

You see back on my home planet there is a line between the Frill Nations and the Thorn Empire, That boarder was guarded by every type of unit each army had. It stayed like this for as long as I can remember-

The Frill and Thorn boarder was in that shape for longer than any of us were laid.

Yes, That all lasted until-

Until The former leader of our Race launched an all out attack on the Frills, you see at that time his son Rink was hatched and his father wanted him not have to grow up into a world where he had to live every day making sure the Frill haven't broken through. So what he designated to destroy the Frills once and for all, We had no idea the power they had.

How does Leaf Empire come in.

*Lowers his Ears*

*Looks down*

Fine, It happen when the Frills felt like making a pack with our Empire of small Islands, but when they did the Thorns followed in a sub. That sub sank 8 crews liners full of people, this and the War angered my Queen so she declared war on of of there nations, in hopes of stopping it.

[Four-eyed Vulpine]

*I listen in to the conversation, moving to another table so I can hear better*

That sounds like a horrible situation...

[Kal]

(OoC:  That's Dr. Cut in the teal, right?  Er...who is that?)

J:  "Yeah, sure, thanks.  I still think the oven hates me."

Oven:  *growl*

J:  "Say, I didn't catch yer name.  Trep?  Huh.  Well, Trep, nice to meet ya, I'm Jasho.  Thanks for the help."

J:  "Alright, fellas, the kitchen is officially re-opened!  Whatch'all want?"

-----------

K:  "So you've been fighting your entire lives and...you don't know why."

L:  Well, we have to protect ourselves from the Thorns-

K:  "Nah, that's not what I meant.  Conflicts don't start themselves.  Even the Scourge didn't invade Koulthos until they were absolutely desperate for energy supplies.  Go back to the beginning.  What started this whole thing?  Do you...even know?"

[Lilacs]

(OOC: Its Drake)

Desperate? Looks like the Koulthos haven't heard of sharing.

[Four-eyed Vulpine]

(I'm having trouble figuring out who everyone is.  Can someone post like a list of who is who and what color?  That would help me a lot.)

Novar:  The kitchen is open?  Sweet.  You got any coke or something?

[Kal]

(OoC:  I thought Drake was navy...

Alright, I'll give you my character list.

K:  Kal.  Plain text, usually no quotes.

J:  "Jasho.  Plain text, usually quotes.  I had to add first initials since Trep and Lilacs use the same notation."

R:  Raj.

R:  Revin.

Silver Demon.  Usually in brackets, thinking to to Raj.

Brackets indicate telepathy/mind linked.

Lilacs, your turn.)

J:  "We got lotsa coke.  What kind?"  (OoC:  coke = soda)

K:  You're calling us selfish?!  They wanted to steal our resources to power their war machines!

That's one side of the story, and for the record I don't like casting my kind as the villians all the time.

K:  Oh really?  Cause that sounded pretty accurate to me!  How would you describe it?

We had no choice, Kal.  We were stranded on a primitive planet with limited resources.  Our purpose was to acquire enough to get off and return to the Homeworld-

K:  And you had to kill my family to do that, you son of a ****?!

It's complicated, Kal.

K:  You keep saying that so you don't have to fess up!  I'm not an idiot, Raj, I'm not as stupid as you make me out to be!

ENOUGH!

Both:  ...

Arguing won't change the fact that it's done.  Raj had his reasons for-

K:  So you're defending him, the man was a murderer!

Not of his own design-

K:  Enough!  I've had it!  *storms upstairs*

R&R:  ...

Pardon that.  Kal is quite touchy about...what happened.

Understandably so.  I never wanted any of it to happen.

You seem curious.  We could tell you, but...it is a rather long story.

[Guest Whirlpool]

(Ooc: As Kal pointed out, Holbrook (Who has several nicknames) Normally speaks in quotations -->"Hi!", and then Trep speaks in quotes, and in black -->"...Hey...")

"*Ears droop a bit*Hm...................I'm curious to what had happened.  Don't want to say the wrong thing to him when he comes back down. *yoinks cup from tray on coffee table* And I have time. Mind tellin' the story?"

----------Upstairs------------------

"*Yawning and stretching*...Mmm.....Huh? Wha..? Since when did I fall asleep up here?" Loud stomping, mumbling and slamming doors are heard out in the hallway. "...?" *Looks out door to see Kal slam door to his room*

".....Kal?" *goes up to door and knocks*

"...Kal? You alright?"

....I'm fine.

"People don't slam doors when they're fine."

...........

[Four-eyed Vulpine]

(Ooc:  Ok, thanks everyone!  Novar will be in this color from now on.)

Um, just the regular kind will suffice.

*Meanwhile, outside, a streak of fire plummets from the sky and crashes into the ground not ten feet away from the lodge with a loud noise and a minor tremor that is heard and felt throughout the building momentarily*

*Novar is startled by the shaking, but all is calm again in a few seconds*  What the heck was that?  An earthquake?

*back outside, the thing that crashed regains consciousness and shivers in the deep snow accumulation.  The large red being soon notices the cabin and crawls toward it, leaving a trail of blood and melted snow behind him.  Eventually, he makes it onto the porch and crawls toward the door.  Finally, with the strength he has left, he raises a fist and pounds on the door.  Then he passes out*

[Guest Whirlpool]

"*hears pound on door* Hold on, story'll have to wait. I heard something..." *opens door*

"O.O"

All:....?

"Um...does anyone know just who or what this is? *stands to side so rest can see*"

[Four-eyed Vulpine]

*there lies a giant red humanoid lizard, lying shirtless on the snow-covered porch with black torn pants.  Behind him is a slight trail of blood and the snow is completely melted*

*I get up and come over to see*  Oh my gosh...uhhh....should we help it??

[Guest Whirlpool]

"If he didn't want our help, he wouldn't have bother to try knocking." *grabs lizard by the shoulders and drags him in* *whisles* Damn, he looks bad. Anybody have decent medical training around here?"

[Lilacs]

I do
