ostrichofevil he/him Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Maleril added an Aon Rao, just for extra power.
Haelbarde he/him Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 "Make way, make way!" Dr Rab Heatherlocke pushed his way through towards the queen. "Make way for the Honorable Sir Maestro Dr. Brightlord Seixa, Ph.D., M.D., LL.B., J.D., D.Phil., O.D., Psy.D., D.D.S., D.C., D.P.M., D.V.M., Pharm.D., N.D., S.J.D., Esq.. Doctors coming through, make way, make way!" Above the pair of them floated red flashing letters spelling out the word 'Doctor'. Dr Rab appraised the situation. "Oh, this looks serious. I see you've done some magic drawing things. Good. Now let the Honorable Sir Maestro Dr. Brightlord Seixa, Ph.D., M.D., LL.B., J.D., D.Phil., O.D., Psy.D., D.D.S., D.C., D.P.M., D.V.M., Pharm.D., N.D., S.J.D., Esq. do his job, and we'll see if we can't get out of this mess." 2
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Queen Elsa looked up at Dr. Brightlord Seixa in surprise. "Hi. Thank you for coming." She said weakly. 1
phattemer Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) "You are very welcome. I see that you obviously needed our assistance, but we can discuss the small matter of remuneration after Dr. Rab and I save your lives. Now, to business. Where exactly were you spiked? And with what?" Winter stepped up. "It's like a regular spike, but for Rayse, not Ati." Seixa looked surprised for a minute, but quickly suppressed it. "I haven't seen one of those since... er, yesterday! Routine operation, at least for someone of my skills. I could just pull it out, but that might leave you with some... let's say, side effects.They may include nausea, fatigue, blindness, permanent paralysis of the entire body and mind, loss of limbs, defenestration, bankruptcy, etc.. Just sign here." Seixa produced a white box from somewhere up his sleeve. Wait, that was paper. He opened it to the last page, pulled out a ink pot and a highly elaborate feather quill as tall as he was, covered in glitter and feathers that made everyone sneeze, and motioned for the Queen's signature. "Oh this? Don't worry, it's just regular boilerplate. The legal doctors among us insisted, myself included.Except for page 253, in which you swear allegiance to the Guild of Doctors and promise to always come to their aid, do their laundry, collect their children from sports practices, take bullets, give money, and provide anything a Doctor, whom you shall recognize by the signal "Oorlo..." will need. Edited April 18, 2015 by phattemer 3
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 "Uh...Okay. As long as the side effects aren't too major, I still need to be a queen and a ruler. But if this signature will save my life, I'm willing to sign it." Queen Elsa leaned forward and signed the paper with the royal signature.
Redbird he/him Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 "If one of those side effects is defenestration, you may want to stay on the ground floor for a little while"
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) "Oh gosh. I hope I'm not going to be doing that! Just get this thing out of me, please!!" Edited April 19, 2015 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Elsa shut her eyes and clenched her fists as the spike was pulled out, followed by a massive gasp and an exhale. "Argh...Thank you so much. I don't what I would have done without you both. Name your price for payment." Edited April 19, 2015 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
Voidus Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Voidus released the Aon, allowing its healing effects to spread into Elsa's body, enhanced by the Aon Rao Maleril had drawn."That should close the wound up nicely, if you don't mind I'd like to take the spike back to the Alley's to analyse it. There's got to be some interesting Investiture signatures in it."
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 "Thank you, and you may do whatever you please with that spike, as long as one of those things isn't spiking me or anyone else in this room.What do you think made it different from the ordinary spikes you use at the Alleys?"
Voidus Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Voidus nodded in agreement."Somehow the Parshendi have discovered how to use Odium's essence to perform Hemalurgy, which of course opens up a whole new realm of possibilities, although of course the Intent seems to be even more powerful than that of Ruin and so prolonged usage of the spikes may cause some severe emotional instability. We'll keep it safe for now, Winter you're welcome to assist with the analysis, your previous Shardic contact might help with new insights into it."
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 "So how will we stop the Parshendi from using these spikes on anyone else? Can the DA help with that, because believe me, I'm not going through that again." Elsa sat up and looked at both of them.
Voidus Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Voidus shared Winter's enthusiasm, grinning at her at the prospects, but Elsa was right, this would b a problem if left uncontrolled. He thought the problem over, the DA largely researched how to spike people, not how to prevent them from being spiked."Seekers could work I think, though they'd need to be well trained, either given extra power through a spike or a Savant at the least I'd think. The DA has quite a few, we could put them out, searching for the pulses that the spikes give out, perhaps some Lurchers and Coinshots to search for the metal as well."
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 "I would be very happy to help if you require anything or more of something. Thank you for agreeing to help." Elsa smiled, still a little weak from the spike effects, but seemed to be fine.
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 "Gemstones? That's pretty weird. Have the DA ever used gemstone spikes?" 1
phattemer Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Seixa interrupted, looking smug. "There will be no payment necessary, My Lady. The fact that we have helped you will suffice, and that I finally collected your signature. I have many of the greats, but have never been able to get yours." 2
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 "Thank you again for your help, it was greatly appreciated. But I am indeed curious, what are you going to do with my royal signature?"
Haelbarde he/him Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Rab glares at Seixa, willing him not to antagonize the Alliance. I would much rather we didn't start off as being in opposition to The Alliance. Being strong armed in have been preferable to an inter-guild incident. 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Elsa swallowed hard, noticing his glare. "Is there a problem, Doctor?" She asked, looking at Rab and Seixa.
Haelbarde he/him Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Rab had hoped no one had notice his glare, but he notice that the queen had. So then he closed his eyes. And sneeze. Maybe that'll work? A glare's not sooooo dissimilar to pulling a face trying not to sneeze, is it? He hoped it wasn't. 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 "Bless you! You alright there?"
Haelbarde he/him Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) "I'm fine, but thank you for asking. Just have mild allergies to glitter" Edited April 20, 2015 by Haelbarde
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) "Interesting allergy you've got there. Anyway, Thank you both again for saving my life." Edited April 20, 2015 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
phattemer Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 "Oh yes, it was no problem, no problem at all. And about the signature, that one has to stay on the contract, just so you don't sue us, but would you mind signing this piece of paper for my collection?" Seixa grinned winningly. 2
Coneboi Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 No one saw Frodo walk up or appear, he was just suddenly there, and seemed as though he too was surprised as to where he was. "Ah, Your Majesty, it has been far too long." He bows to Queen Elsa Steelheart, then straightens up and gives Seixa and Rab questioning looks. "Hello, who might you be?" 1
