Well, a farmer discovers a Gem in a field--*slapped*

All right. The Pirates go into a cavern inside a glacier, trying to hide from the Gem army. Mage ships find them and started attacking. Leraye and TMC make a deal to restore power to Leraye's Philosopher's Stone (aka the second Gem), by trapping the souls of the various Guilders inside it. The Pirates discover a race of peaceful ice worms in the glacier, and later a not-so-peaceful ice wyvern. The Pirates are made aware of Leraye's intentions, and several people attack him at once. TMC tries to intervene, but is stopped by Death. The Gem is knocked out of Leraye's hands, but he gathers the Weewoo's mist around him to act as a shield. Spacefleet gets the Gem. Death kills TMC. Leraye takes TMC's essence and forms it into another, more powerful Gem. The ice wyvern begins to attack.

*hides slapping glove* Go on.

... I understand now. So basically Leraye's the real evil one. :3

Oh, except Fraze forgot the part where Leraye disappeared from the NTWF, without so much as a poof or whoosh or anything.

Pestilence's daughter is Pandora? I'm not sure how you thought that up or how that can ever have relevance to the GW, but okey-dokey.

[Deleted]

Guess I best catch up these 150 pages an' get involved in this t'ing...

Ever tried writing a GW-post at 3 a.m. after eating quite a bit more cookies and chocolate than you really should? Mrmyes, thought so x3 But she probably won't have any impact or relevance to the GW. I've tried to keep all of 'em off the active plotline (actually I only ever brought them in because said active plotline dropped dead and became an inactive plotline, and I wanted a twist).

Leptony, there's hardly a point in catching up with all the 150 pages (though they're a good read. A very long read, but a good read.) All you really need is Wolf's summary for context and the last five-ish pages of the RP to get acquainted with.

I doubt Zari's ship would fit through there, or fare well in the enclosed space. Like it's creator, it needs at least 30 times it's mass in airspace to do any good. It's a shuttle with some attatchments, not much more, although it's computer can play chess and cards against itself and lose. In war or tight spaces, it's pretty much doomed.

EDIT: Hmm. Ienalle needs a refpic. Lemme fix that problem, kthx?

Point taken. And in the same vein, Spacefleet's cover has been blown for the past 100 pages, at least. Even in this most recent expedition, it was established quite a while ago that the pirates found out about Fraze aboard their ship. (It was the rope's fault, seriously.)

^^; Sorry I haven't been posting a lot. Could I have a quick recap on what is going on?

Death killed TMC. Leraye made a gem out of TMC and disappeared. Hunty asked Death to call for a parley (at first he [it?] thought she said 'party'). A skeletal ice snake emerged from the depths, and now we're fighting the ice snake, which is currently underwater, shaking things up, literally.


Cyborg, how exactly how you know that I'm using your energy? The crystal acts like a rechargeable battery, and while she has to charge it by drawing energy from something or someone, once she takes the energy, it's essentially detached from the source. You wouldn't be able to feel Omni using your energy. So unless you have some way of sensing magical energy, particularly from a distance (which I haven't heard any mention of you using, so I'm guessing you don't), then for all you know she could be using some other earth mage's energy, or something.

[zarikrahia]

Yes, FrazeFraze, it was all the rope's fault. We'll sue the rope later.

[Cyborg]

Well see he feels a loss of energy, and remembers Omni could take energy, since his stint with the mages.

No, you shouldn't be able to feel it. Like I said, the energy is essentially detached from you once she's taken it, so you shouldn't feel a connection to the energy she's taken anymore. Using a rechargeable battery in a portable device wouldn't do anything to the outlet the battery was charged from, it should only do something while charging.

Or should I compare it to cutting off a limb?

Edit: I just noticed you still have the 'mouse' personal text, even though you've changed your avvie and screenname back. Maybe you should change that?

[Cyborg]

Thanks, but anyways with the rechargeble battery when you plug it in the electricity flows into the battery, but when the battery is removed the electricity no longer flows into the battery, like there`s part of the current missing. With the limb, if a limb is gone, sure it sometimes feels like there`s still a limb there, but you realise it`s not.

True, but what I mean is, you can feel it being severed (and boy do you ever) and once it has been, although you may still feel like you have it, anything done to the flesh and bone you don't feel. It could be smacked around, cut up, burned, boiled, stomped on… whatever you could think of, but you wouldn't feel it, neither could you control it no matter how hard you try. One big difference would be that severed limbs don't grow back, though (unless you're a starfish or something).

[Cyborg]

No, but all Cyborg knows is someone, stole his magic energy, then remembers, how the traitor Omni could steal energy, and was taught some earth spells by him, and references from that. He has no clue what Omni is doing with his earth magic energy.Plus how is his magic energy tainted?

Maybe I should compare it to more of a container.

Lets say you draw a bucket of water from a river. As you take water from the bucket (to wash your face, get a drink, whatever) the amount of water decreases, and eventually you'll have to draw from the river again. There will be a very slight affect on the river as you draw the water, but just when you draw the water, not when you take it from the bucket.

Now the thing about the crystal is that it can store multiple kinds of energies. Though unlike a bucket, it can keep them separate, normally. Now Nature was zapped by gem energy, which spread through her. Omni took a bunch of it out of Nature and stored it in her crystal. Over time, the gem energy spread, infecting energies that she had stored. Note that because these energies are separate from the source she drew them from, the energy your persona has (and feels and accesses) is untouched, it's like murky water being put into the bucket and mixing with the water in the bucket, but not touching the stream.

Edit: *looks at your post again* Wait… if that's the case, then how does your in-character persona know that I'm using your energy and/or that I'm the one casting spells? It doesn't make sense.
