Guild Wars II: The Summary
Chapter Four

Page SIXTEEN

S: Keng realises that she’s talking to her old shipmates and plays dumb.

Ma: Omni asks Seline if Nature’s still out there. Well, duh—Nature’s all around us. Oh, wait, wrong Nature, yet again.

S: Strife commands the station to enter DEFCON 3 Level 3 Lockdown and orders all detainees, save for Subcommander #12, to be executed. Why? He smells revolt. Or maybe that's just lion dander in his air tank? Well, anyways, down under, Fraze tells Keng he’s not at fault and to bring his Table; there may be a fight. Then, Zari tells Keng that it really is all Fraze’s fault, but that her connections in the area may remediate the situation.

K: Zari jibberish nonsense gobbledygook.

Ne: The unknown visitor, Clara, and her pig, Mr. Pig, eagerly set the White Weewoo on fire. By morning, it shall be known as the Burnt Birdie.

K: Shade asks Celestial why she cares for the artifact.

Ma: Celestial says she cares because the storm’s threatening all of the NTWF, especially her kin.

K: Zari says she retains the right of suspicion and that she can’t fly either.

P: Rider smells burning rum and rushes back to the Birdie; Ventratta yelps and the two start rowing towards the Meepits trapped inside.

Me: Hades’ shot misses, but he doesn’t care as he continues to [attempt to] cause general chaos, next by taunting Fraze and Zari by asking if they got his message or not.

P: Dragon returns to her past (reruns of Bemaged, that antiquated TV show about that one mage, Ikkin, who marries that mortal, Kit, and their ensuing adventures and mishaps) and smells a war brewing. No, that’s definitely the smell of wet Scar, I guarantee it.

S: Fraze wonders if he should return to the station or not.

Ma: Celestial says she trusts Zari but remains suspicious of Shade.

P: The kraken—which isn’t really a kraken at all, but is actually a dog/barrel/squid-thingy called a blarf—rises over the ship and extinguishes the flames, thus saving the Meepits now drowning inside.


Page SEVENTEEN

S: Keng tells Fraze to tell her all about it when he gets there.

Ma: Rikku throws a fireball at Hades’ head.

PMaK: Kat has an OBE (not to be confused with an oboe).

S: Fraze counter-taunts and takes off.

P: Speck asks Huntress if she knows of any schooners they can steal. Dragon returns and asks about Blarf, their kraken.

K: Pyro asks what in the world is going on. Seems to be a trend.

S: As Zari follows Fraze into his dropship, she finds her armor has been ruined by Hades’ rapid-fire gunslinging. Up on the moon, Keng asks if that was gunshots she just heard. Well, yeah, duh.

Me: Cyborg says they should start out, but to watch out for things that go bump in the forest.

P: Hunty commands Blarf—correction: he’s a German shepherd, mutated armadillo—to surround the arsonist and her pig, which he does. Hunty then says the damage to the Weewoo should be easily repairable.

Ma: The doorbell rings and Surf asks the others to get it.

N: The Ninjas and their hostage mage companion arrive at Castle Kestrel; after Bluisa presents the two with “summoning badges,” Cat Assassin and PFA split up to storm the castle (how ‘bout they castle the storm instead?).

P: Rider signs up for active duty. Would this be the opposite of mutiny?

I: Evan Forest tells Tamia the Invisible Guild is made up of outcasts, men and women the other guilds denied, traitors and those consumed by nothingness…. Or something like that, I wasn't really listening. Anyways, he tries to grab his bag, but—

K: Tamia intervenes, and—

I: Evan drives a dagger into her arm and slices her flesh open. He drops her to the ground and runs off into the woods.

K: Straining to hold onto her last remnants of consciousness, Tamia pleads for Shino to capture him as the fourth chapter comes to a stunning—no…no wait, the fourth chapter isn’t over yet. ^_^ But, you should know, that makes Tamia’s valiant demise no less tragic.


Page EIGHTEEN

MaK: Ikkin leaps up and demands Kit explains himself—or she will be forced to kill him. Oh, touché. How Romeo and Juliet can we get?

Ma: Scar says that, no-way, no-how, are they going after the artifact. Then, he excuses himself, Aeri, and Leoness to go get the door. Such a temperamental chronomancer. No pun intended.

S: Fraze tells Keng that he’s at fault, but not really at fault, and that Hades should not be trusted.

Me: Jernath starts heading towards the forest. Geez, these Mercs move slower than the Ninjas!

N: Speak of the devil! Well, anyways, PFA starts sneaking around the perimeter of the Castle.

Ma: Surf says she’s going, whether Scar likes it or not, and asks the others to join her masquerade—I mean, her escapade! Now, I ask, is this mutiny?

Me: Hades sidesteps Rikku’s fireball, which strikes a tree and starts burning. (Just then, Smokey the bear cub pops out of the woodwork and shouts, “Only YOU can prevent forest fires!”) Meanwhile, Hades chases after Rikku, madness on the brain, money on the mind.

S: Leoness gets lost in her thoughts and doesn’t know what to do. Moonside, Strife races towards his office and informs his subcommander to take Fraze and Zari to his office should they arrive before him. But then, wait, wouldn't he arrive before them? Wow. I'm actually confused.

K: Shino quickly treats Tamia’s wound in an episode of KnightiER before rushing off after Forest; Shino soon tackles the man, pinning him to the ground and declaring that he's Sir Evan Forest, the first Black Knight of Dunburrow.

Ma: Rikku discovers a pile of dead bodies in the woods. How kind. She seeks vengeance.

K: Trilly fears her first battle as a Knight might be against another Knight. Ohh, the irony!

S: Zari says they’re in trouble. So, what’s new?

K: Zari summons her staff, interrogates Kit, and realises that Zaha has appeared at her feet. Such a nifty little Ninja cat, indeed.

Ne: In an ocean far off the coast, Clara calls out for Mr. Pig as she swims into the kraken and attacks it—with hugs and kisses.

K: Back at the Castle, Kit taps into the artifact’s powers to send a message out to all guilds, to all persons, human or otherwise, saying that he can end the storm once and for all, for a price: Demonkind must be accepted as equal to humankind. With this, he bribes the people with their deepest desires before fleeing the room with his entourage.

S: Fraze hides his Universe Box—and the doomsday device hidden inside it—in his shoulder and hides the ensuing welt with his skinsuit as the dropship lands on the moon. Meanwhile, Keng seems determined to investigate the circumstances surrounding these strange events, in part to help clear Fraze’s name and in part to figure out what in the universe is going on here. Just outside, Strife intercepts Kit’s message and is aroused by the prospects set before him, now convinced that this storm is the work of a superior lifeform and that this crystal, this artifact, is the source of his psionic abilities. Yes, he says, the world shall be mine, all mine….


Page NINETEEN

S: Keng gets Kit’s message, but doesn’t like the prospect.

PMaK: Kat gets the message and likes the allure of courage, wisdom, power….

Ne: Someone stands at the front door of the Manor, waiting and waiting to be let inside….

N: Cat Assassin is brought to his knees by Kit’s promise of reviving Vyt, but in his heart, he knows that Vyt would never want it with this way, so in a burst of passionate rage, Cat Assassin literally rushes through the castle towards Kit. I really do hope my castle insurance covers rampant Ninjas.

Ne: One of the corpses Rikku stumbled upon isn’t as dead as he should be, and as Derek sees catches sight of Rikku above him, he grabs a nearby javelin and hides in silence. Well, actually, he hides in a pile of corpses, but you get my point. Or his point. The javelin's point?

Ma: Rikku considers that she should probably see what happened to all these dead guys. Oh, yeah, about that…

S: Amneiger continues to monitor the storm whilst receiving Kit’s message; he radios the Station, asking if the others had heard it, too. He follows it up by scheduling an appointment with the nearest psychologist, just in case.

K: Pyro considers her feelings, but tells herself she’ll contemplate some more later. For now, she has other things to concentrate on, like the issue of what in the world is actually going on. Yeah, I’d have to agree.

Ma: Nature begins walking back towards the Manor while Seline corrects Omni: her name is Seline, not Sabine. Get it right next time.

Me: Cyborg and Midknight follow Jernath in the trees, playing lookout.

P: Shiva rushes forward to kill Ikkin before Ikkin can kill Kit. Being a half-demon horse and all, it’s obvious where his allegiance lies. Meanwhile, his master, Rider, asks her captain, Huntress, what in the name of Davy Jones’ locker that’d been.

Me: Hades accepts Kit’s proposal and agrees to join him. He sidles up behind Rikku, drawing his gun, and asks if they’re allies or enemies.

P: Brp—Blarf’s real name, apparently—begins swimming back to the ship with Clara and Mr. Pig. Hunty gets the message, but ignores it for the moment as she checks up on her saturated Meepits.

Me: Salah questions the message’s integrity and asks the others what they think of it.

Ma: Deep in thought, Celestial flies out of the castle and steers herself towards the south gate of Dunburrow, where Kit will await his coming allies. Somewhere over the forest, Overlord the Weewoo spots Rikku and settles in a nearby tree to warn her that something is alive that shouldn’t be….

N: PFA declines Kit’s offer and sets her course to the south gate. She’ll be waiting for Kit, she’ll be waiting for the crystal…

You know, ever since the artifact was discovered, it’s been variously called a shiny, a five-by-three-by-two inch box, an orb, and now, at last, a gem/jewel/crystal. I must assume that, once it was activated and began drawing energy from other various sources, such as from Kat when it was purple and now from Kit, it is slowly changing shape and readjusting the properties that comprise it. How very intriguing, and hoe even more interesting… The possibilities are endless.

Me: Jernath says, yeah, he heard the message, but doesn’t know if he should take it up or not. It certainly seems tempting, but, yeah, he just doesn’t know yet. Anyways, Salah says she thinks they should go and check it out; after all, they’re headed that way already. So as the fourth chapter comes to a close, the seven guilds are diverging into sides, those for the demons and those against the demons, oddly similar to a past war in which, when the guilds were meant to be fighting against one another, a greater force came into play and brought the guilds together, much as this suggests may once again occur here.

In all our haste for war, in all our haste for fighting, perhaps we forgot to plan the one thing that truly needed planning: How to keep the war among the guilds, not merely around them.

Just so you know, I've been reading this and laughing. A lot. xD It's awesome.

Aww, thanks, Rikku!

That makes me feel so much better. :) I don't even feel sick anymore!

Well, I kinda do, but I don't really feel it right now, so.... Thank you. :)

[Strife]

Wolf, you're the Google of Guild Wars II. This summary is really well-organized and understandable, and I find myself discovering things about the plot that I didn't pick up on or understand when they were first posted. Awesome job, and keep at it! ^_^

I read through the entire summary for Guild Wars I, and it was really clever. ^__^ Usually summaries are boring and difficult to read, but this one seems to have all the major points down without being monotonous.

That there is impressive. You are gifted. XD

[Amneiger]

"Burnt Birdie" and "Bemaged" made me laugh out loud. xD

Speaking of which...hey Scar, I'll trade you this Thunder Stone, Water Stone, and Fire Stone for that nice gold watch you're wearing. What do you say?

[Celestial]

This is an amazing summary Wolf! It's very helpful and perfectly keeps track of all the guilds and their characters. It's also very clear and simple, helping everyone who is too lazy to read through all those pages to understand the whole of GWII so far.
I'm amazed how condensed this is: barely two pages and a perfect summary of everything that happened up to that point in the roleplay.

Keep up the amazing work! ^_^

[Wolf picking pages]

Aww, guys, now you've gone and made me feel all giddy like jelly. -^_^-

COMPUTATION ALERT!!! JELLY DOES NOT EXIST.

Uh-oh.

*poof*


Anyways, the virus I came down with last Tuesday seems to finally be working its way out of my system, so with all luck, I'll be able to get Chapter Five up later today and finally be able to say I've made it half way.

And with that little jingle aside, ever find it odd how we come down with illness but come up with ideas?

Wolf, I adore this summary. It's clear and yet still hilarious. <3 [/glow]

After I put this next chapter up, I'll be putting the last page summarised in the title.

It'll make more sense when I get to it. Trust me. ~_^


EDIT :: And, hey, Rider, I love the name!

It, like, took me a couple hours to realise it'd changed, and then I was like, "WHA?!" but then I just started laughing. XD

Guild Wars II: The Summary
Chapter Five

Page TWENTY

Me: Jernath agrees with Salah: He needs to know if Kit will really give what he offered….

K: Shade agrees to side with Kit…if Nyia puts her down already!

S: Keng tells Amneiger he’s not crazy, then messages The Commander about the message, suggesting Spacefleet have a small army at the meeting with Kit.

Ne: Mr. Pig feels neglected.

S: Fraze declines Kit. And, no, Kit is not a Latin noun. Well, he could be. I don’t know.

P: The General and his army of shiny-obsessed weasels side with Kit’s offer of limitless shinies and follow him out of the throne room. At the ship, Zylaa wonders if Kit was responsible for the fire while the Meepits tell Huntress it was definitely the girl with the loose screws who set fire to the ship, subsequently sending Hunty off to interrogate the mind-dead girl and her sidekick pig.

Ma: Apparently, it’s day again as Celestial lands at the South Gate—apparently a tomb—in the daylight.

P: Rider says she owns the Weewoo. "Thank you, Stal"?

MaK: Ikkin dodges Shiva’s attack and retaliates. With fire.

Ma: Sev contemplates fried kitten, while Surf starts amassing her own army and Sev offers to buy out Magecraft Airlines in exchange for Frequent Phoenix Flier Miles. Just then, after receiving Kit’s transmission, he contemplates how to attack without tearing their soul bond. Ah, phoenix and demon…such a love-hate relationship.

Ne: The blonde (henceforth The Blonde) outside the manor snaps her fingers and summons a purple storm before snapping her fingers and summoning herself somewhere else.

Ma: Omni answers the door and turns down Kit.

S: Ethan considers checking into sickbay.

P: Shiva tells Ikkin he’s making fire chicken for dinner.

Ma: Rikku tells Hades she sides with the Mages.

MaK: Ikkin tells Shiva to snap out of it. They’re having fire chicken for breakfast, not dinner.


Page TWENTY-ONE

P: Shiva says it’s time for the demons to rise! Actually, it’s morning, so maybe it’s not.

Me: Cyborg and Midknight decide they’ve got a job at Kit’s castle. But…uh, Kit’s at the tomb, and the castle’s mine. >:|

P: Goosher the Pirate Yurble—or is that the Yurble pirate? I can never tell—stumbles into the roleplay feeling rather lost.

S: Amneiger radios Keng and tells her the storm appears stronger than usual—which apparently means the purple clouds are rather usual—before packing his things and heading home. Meanwhile, in the moon garage, Bacon hums Johnny Cash and reads Koontz. Down the hall and around the corner, Zari tells herself to focus on the matter at hand.

K: Zari parrots her cat and says, “Norem.” Far, far away, in a distant land full of ponies and talking kittens, Oran helps Tamia to her feet as they begin heading towards Dunburrow to meet Kit. But are they friends, or foes?

MaK: Ikkin cracks the air like a whip, attempting to get Shiva to remember just who he’s fighting for before jumping over him and flying after Kit: If killing him is what it takes, then that's what it means to be the guardian of his soul.

Me: Hades delights in taunting Rikku and fires two lasers at her wand.

S: Strife tells Keng sending an armed unit planetside is sheer madness, but that everyone should meet in Sector 2 for debriefing. Well, hope you wear boxers.

Ma: Aeri blames her struggling marriage on the storm outside. Hmm, I can refer you to an awesome marriage counselor, if you want. Her name’s Lucy; she works out of the Peanuts Gallery in Tabloid Town. She charges five cents a visit. That aside, Drakhé bangs hid head against a tree before deciding he’s dead anyways, so he might as well side with the dying side: those of goodness and iddle pink bunnies.

Ne: Clara feels sad. All her matches are wet and her pretty fire died. Clara feels very sad. Mr. Monster swam away and everyone’s mean to her. Clara starts crying. Clara wants fire. Fire pretty. But Clara sad.

K: Kit instructs Nyia to set Shade down before telling the Bronze Knight that all Knights in the history of Dunburrow who associated with demons were sent on suicide missions (but what Kit fails to realise is that, despite Dunburrow’s dark past, it’s got a bright future ahead of it with a new King at its helm. Say, is it wrong to use Pirate metaphors when talking about Knights?). Regardless, he gives a weasel a golden coin and sends it home to mommy with a message that he will, in fact, keep his end of the bargain if everyone else keeps theirs.

Ma: Scar and Aeri continue down the hall towards the door. My guess? The Manor doesn’t want them to find the door. Come on, they left to get the door before Omni did, and Omni got there first!

S: Speak of the devil! They weren’t headed to the door at all, but instead to Leoness's guest room. And when they arrive, said lioness locks them inside before collapsing on the bed in fear of all the demonic things that Dictator Strife might do in her absence.


Page TWENTY-TWO

K: Trilly takes a guess that demons aren’t really that bad and goes to side with Kit, but after seeing Shiva attack Ikkin, decides it’d be best to run away and think about things for a while, maybe mope about Kit’s betrayal on the roof for a while. But, hark! Who goes there?! Why it’s none other than PFA, and as the Ninja runs away towards the South Gate, Trilly decides to follow...using the stairs.

Ma: Rikku’s wand explodes on impact and the dead rise up from the outburst of stored magical energy inside, intent on attacking their resurrector—Hades. Meanwhile, Rikku peruses the other dead bodies and decides they were the work of demons. Now, Kit’s definitely going to pay.

K: Shino writes “determination” on his face before he and Evan reminisce about old times, specifically that one time, at band camp, when Evan recovered the Lord’s legendary sword but was never honored for his deed, while in the castle, Shade informs Kit about an incoming Magecraft Airliner by the name of Ikkin.

Ma: Aeri jumps to Leoness’s aid; Scar claws at her and and howls her name. Wait, did that kitten just howl?

K: Shino and Sir Evan embrace each other and as Shino apologises for not standing up for him before he was exiled, Evan begs for forgiveness from Shino, his lifetime friend and friend forever.

S: Keng passes on The Commander’s massage.

K: Sirs Shino and Evan make up and make out for Lady Tamia— O_O *blink blink* That, erm, did not come out as expected. Erm…I…um…well—Shino pulls out a strange device and redios Ethan. Wait, wait…have we a double-agent here?! No, Shino—do not betray me, my love!

PMaK: Kat stands up and suggests she find out what Kit is up to. Um, yeah, Kat, you do that. >.>

Ne: The Blond appears before Bianco, but her spells are for someone else. Urp, uh, Shino…?

K: Kit and Shade arrive a the orchards surrounding the South Gate in the late afternoon and ignore Ikkin as they feast upon some purple apples. Hmm, whoever’s entombed there must have been a noble soul indeed.

Ma: Nature arrives at the Manor, ecstatic to see everyone. In a distant land, far, far away, Bluisa rides her shadow around Castle Kestral. Five-dollars admission. You must be this tall to ride.

N: Cat Assassin finds Shiva and pounces on the horse.

P: Huntress asks first and stabbity-stabs later. Clara is relieved. But still sad. ;_;

Ma: Kwoiffei starts back towards the Manor and smells something a bit like manure.


Page TWENTY-THREE

PMaK: Kat collapses. Again.

Ma: Celestial realises she’d flown to the West Gate, not the South Gate—and now I feel rather stupid myself, and a bit let down, actually; the white tomb amidst the orchard of apple trees was such a beautiful site and I liked it -_- —and quickly flies to greet Kit at the South Gate and, just as the sun begins to set, she appeals to Kit, saying she shall join him for a different price than first offered.

At this point, you're probably wondering just what exactly the South Gate is, right? Well, if it's not a tomb, and if it's not actually a gate, and if it's big enough to have an orchard all it's own, just what in the world could it be? Quite frankly, I didn't know myself, so I went to the archival chambers in the Castle and did some research.

Apparently, South Gate—not to be confused with the southernmost gate of the city, or the country, for that matter—is a small village on the south side of the capital's outer wall, est. c. 1856, that delights itself in growing apples and other various fruits for visitors to the city to nosh on. When referred to as "the South Gate," it's generally understood that the speaker means "the South Gate Village," as opposed to simply "the south gate" (note the lack of capitalization).

For reference, Dunburrow is a country. The capital (which STILL needs a name—come on, guys, seriously, GO VOTE! Even you non-Knights, yes, that means you, too, GO VOTE!!!) is a city. Castle Kestrel, which rests towards the north end of the capital city, is a castle, and it's a pretty darn good one at that, thankyouverymuch—and I'd really appreciate it if everyone would stop running through the walls already!!!

*deep breath* Thank you. I needed that.

We now return to our regularly scheduled media presentation.

S: Ethan returns Shino’s phonecall. Long distant rates, however, are still out of this world.

Ma: Omni holds the door for Nature (and Dragon?) to come inside from the storm and asks to examine Nature’s aura for anything out of place.

P: Rider writes poetry and asks Zylaa if the girl looks demonic. Clara, a demon? Well, they do say, “kill with kindness…” In the castle, Shiva smells fresh cat and screeches loudly. It’s DINNER TIME! Yeah, baby!

S: Leoness spills the Spacefleet beans for Aeri and Scar. Up in space, Strife arrives before Fraze and Zari and pins the former to the wall before telling them there are more important matters at hand, that they should count their blessings and debrief him. Wait, now he’s going commando, too?!

Me: Jernath says they have to find out just what Kit is offering. Uh, didn’t he already do that?

N: PFA follows after Kit and jumps up to talk to him just as a guard jumps after her; Cat Assassin continues attacking the horse.

Ma: Bluisa tells Cat Assassin that she’s there if he needs her. So if he doesn’t need her, is she not there?

P: Shiva lunges at Cat Assassin, hungry for a taste.

S: Fraze debriefs The Commander. I feel a dance number is in order.

N: Cat Assassin tells Shiva many have tried to taste him, but few have succeeded. Then he tells the horse he (the horse) isn't worth his time and dishonorably declines the battle.

S: Bacon reports to Sector 2. Yep, because Sector 6 doesn’t exist. And, uh, Zari agrees with Fraze’s story and chooses not to continue debriefing The Commander. There's comes a point when too much embarrassment is, well, too much. This is that point.

K: Trilly continues to follow the ninja…who might not actually be PFA…and fires an arrow at her. *blink blink* Um, actually, I do believe the ninja is PFA. Yes, and that would make Trilly the guard that jumped PFA! Ah, sweet justice, life is BLISS!

PMaK: Kat’s awakened by the sound of battle and, after seeing the horse and cat ready to get. it. on, she demands to know what they’re doing! Um, erm, Kat, may I have a word with you…?

MaK: Ikkin calls Sev for back-up before storming the party and sticking her finger in Kit’s face before turning towards (Lady?) Bladetail and asking why she(?!) would assist Kit.


Page TWENTY-FOUR

P: As evening dawns the South Gate, Goosh emerges from the apple trees.

K: Pyro rushes to the courtyard to ponder her position and decides demons are not worth their liberation.

N: PFA throws her kunai at Trilly’s legs.

Ne: Clara justifies her actions: It was a very polite fire. -^.^-

Ma: The other dead bodies rise from the ground and bow down to Rikku, declaring her their master. Rikku smiles proudly as the sparrow lands on her shoulder—good thing she didn’t eat it earlier—and goes on to correct the zombies’ posture and diction before Derek—who’s not a zombie, need I remind you—knocks her unconscious.

Me: Hades flees the zombies, through the fire and over the hills, towards Dunburrow, the South Gate.

P: Zylaa gets Kit’s second message and considers he might be worth checking out. In a not so innuendo-filled way, of course.

Ma: Scar tells Leoness they can all return to Spacefleet together. Yes, time spent with Aeri alone on the moon would be very pleasing, indeed—imagine all the things he could do in zero-gravity! :D

K: Shade feels strangely attracted to Kit. Hang on everybody... our triangle... has just become... a quadrangle. Outside the castle (not that Shade’s actually in the castle for that to truly be an acceptable segue any longer), Trilly barely dodges the kunai before challenging PFA to a fight—it’s time to d-d-d-d-duel!

N: Zaha stands and challenges Shiva to a d-d-d-d-duel. Okay, that's enough now. Seriously, stop it.

Ma: Nature authorizes Omni’s aura-scan before coughing up smoke and passing out. Get her sitar…

P: Speck fantasises about lemons. Don’t fall in the water; no need to have a wet dream.

K: Kit tells Celestial to name her price while Bladetail tells Ikkin that Kit is more honest than she is.

Ma: Bluisa draws her staff and watches over the girl (PFA? Ikkin? Trilly?).


Page TWENTY-FIVE

K: Shino fills in Ethan and asks if he can count on him; Evan fetches Bianco and finds The Blonde. Uh-oh.

Ma: Surf says they should get going before the goings get gone.

S: Amneiger leaves his measurements and equipment for Zari to analyse for trace magical samples.

Ne: The Blonde introduces herself as Asthielle, Ielle for short, and says she’s looking for a purple-clad woman with Mage and Knight affiliations. Could she oh-so-possibly be referring to Kat?

Ma: Celestial tells Kit she’ll be his ally if her dragons gain equal rights as his demons. Deal, or no deal? In the clearing of DEATH (near Rikku), Overlord squeaks and squawks at the zombies in an ill-fated attempt at saving the necromancer.

P: Goosh shuffles up to Ikkin and asks her if she knows what in the seven seas is going on here. Tsk tsk. Shoulda bought the guidebook. Or the summary (on sale Tuesday). Back at the Weewoo, Hunty tells the Meepits to get some food for Clara before discussing Kit’s message with the others: No doubt about it, there’s going to a war (quite frankly, I thought there was supposed to be a war twenty-five pages ago…), and the Pirates need allies. Kit’s offering them allies, the demons. And if Shiva’s not half-bad (note: Shiva’s only half-demon), the other demons can't be half-bad, either, right? Right. Er, wrong? Either way, they set sail (set shoe?) for the South Gate and their possible future allies. Along the way, Hunty plans to use Clara to burn down the Ninja Dojo and, ergo, offers the girl temporary Pirate status; after all, a braindead arsonist with an obsession with burning everything in sight could come in handy later. Face it, she’s even handier than a mechanical lighter or a barrel of matches. Or even Rikku or Ikkin or even Pyro's flameblade. Face it, give her a match, and she's hot. Seriously, she's, like, on fire. Poor girl.

N: PFA tries to stab Trilly in the shoulder with kunai.

Me: The Mercs reach Dunburrow and begin heading for the South Gate.

Ma: Jasor pleads for the other Mages to take him along. All he had to do was ask....

P: Rider agrees: They need to be to Dunburrow by midnight. In the castle, Shiva realises he’s outmatched and instead of fighting, starts small-talking his way out of this one.

Ma: Celestial tells Goosh they could always use another ally; he should join them.

K: Trilly deflects PFA’s stab and keeps fighting. Quite a distance away, in the fields west of Dunburrow, Tamia collapses and sees salvation rearing up on the crest of a hill. A white stallion…Shino, could it be…? No, it couldn’t be, for this stallion is Deus, Deus Ex Machina, and he’s come to save the daaaay! That is, he’s here to give Tamia a ride back to Castle Kestrel.

N: Cat Assassin and Zaha introduce themselves to Shiva before the latter resumes chasing after Kit. Finally! It's only been, what, a couple hours? And with that, although practically nothing of dire consequence has happened since the last chapter, this chapter is over. But stay tuned, something’s bound to happen eventually. I hope.

(( EDIT :: forgot the letter "a" ))
(( EDIT ii :: to clarify "the girl" ))
(( EDIT iii :: to update allegiances ))
(( EDIT iv :: to add linkage ))

S: Fraze declines Kit. And, no, Kit is not a Latin noun. Well, he could be. I don’t know.

Kit
Kitum
Kiti
Kitum
Kito?
Yeah, it's been a while since I took Latin.

Of course, were I to conjugate Kit, it would obviously be Kio, Kis, Kit, Kimus, Kitis, Kunt.

'Tis better to decline, I think.

I didn't realise so many people in the NTWF knew Latin (of course, "so many" would only imply two to four individuals, but for a "dead" language, you know...). Anyways, I love Latin. :) In fact, I plan to use a bit in the roleplay, if I ever get to posting it, that is, or should I say id est? xD
