"An imprint? Oh, I suppose you could say that. It's a trick I was taught, to give a golem a set personality, I do special inscriptions on the underside of the larger bits of its outer shell."
"And you'd be surprised what one of these can do when you give it more than the half parchment I gave it for a power source..." |

| Laidan pauses a little away from the group that has gathered around the 'kitten', and takes a sip of his punch. Indicating said feline-golem, he asks "What do you think of that Corsica?" Last Edited: Apr 29, 2010, 4:01 pm |

"Thank you Valadin" said Masterslug before turning and heading towards Victor. He hadn't actually spotted the crown but the glance across the room from Valadin had been enough to start him in the right direction. Cris crossing in and out of the the guest he arrives before the Guest of Honor.
"Congratulations on your err special day, please except this humble gift created by fair Kyomi on behalf of Tench Kisaragi Heavy Industries" Masterslug hands him the box. "I would have left it on the present table but you'll understand when you see the twel...six reasons inside" Masterslug quickly corrects himself as he glances into the box.
He could have sworn Kyomi said twelve, oh well maybe the rest will turn up, he thought.

Lily replies, "But Asgersdottir is such a pretty name, I found it in a book Sconi got for me from a travelling merchant from the north." A cloud crosses her features, "Where is he anyway? He promised he'd hang around, the bathroom doesn't take this long."
As if on queue, the engine of Semaj's contraption roars to life, the rotors start to spin, and Sconi takes off, wavering slightly as he hovers about ten feet off the ground, making very gentle experimental motions on the controls. |

Turing away a bit, Kaelas gestures to a dark corner and a slimly built bone golem steps into the light. Kaelas makes a few more hand gestures and the bone golem nods before heading for the service door in the back.
Looking back the group, Kaelas explains, "I just asked Golden to take a look on the roof and to send someone else to look around the area, see what the Imp has done." No, he isn't getting some kind of external information- he's just putting years of experience together with Sconi's absence and the strange noise together and getting a massive lawsuit.
----
Five blinks, then looks over at Mech. "I... I believe that is correct. I do not think I particularly like the phrasing of 'like a thing' but we are a couple, romantically, socially." He smiles a little at Mech, rather pleased with that statement being truth.
Tilting her head a little, Ceriph shrugs. "M'kay.That means you two have to dance together 'cause that's what coupled people do at social events like the party I made for Viktor but if you can't dance you could have gotten my mom to teach you but it's kind of late for that I guess so you should just stick to a slow dance which is nice 'cause then you get to hold each other all close and stuff." |

Prompted by the whooshing noise from outside Semaj excuses himself from his conversations.
"I am truly sorry but I have to go outside for a moment. If you want to see someone potential crash my helicopter feel free to join."
Semaj leaves the ball room to see his helicopter hovering in the air. He takes a sip from his flask.
"And I though tonight wasn't going to be interesting."
-------------------------------
"And I thought it would be hard to get you alone." A familiar voice was hear by Gordon as he was now encircled by the stone wall. Thou an unfamiliar figure stepped though the wall to greet him. The golem in front of his stood eight feet tall and was made of igneous rock. His eyes were smoked diamonds the left one of which was cracked. His features where rough and unrefined but very human in shape and proportion. Finally he wore peasant's clothes to include a hooded cape to hide his guise. But for Gordon the voice would give it all away.
"Don't you recognize me Gordon? You do, I can see it in your eyes. We can skip the pleasantries then. I need to remain as unnoticed as possible. Where was that wraith referring to when he said south?" Petros asked.

| "Well Petros no one ever said it was hard to get me alone. It's good to see that your still kicking, though you seem a tad worse for wear." Gordon laughs. "Well that would give you reason to have a grudge against that wraith." Gordon takes several slow steps towards the stone golem. "If you want to fight it I suggest you don't do it on the wraiths terms." Last Edited: May 1, 2010, 5:05 am |

While the warm feeling Raiden had gotten from the punch seems to be constantly building, along with it was the idea that something was wrong...that there was starting to be a build-up and somewhere around here was the cause of it. Sure, it could be a small thing, but then again there were a lot of Magi here and he was deffinatly starting to feel a little flush. That couldn't be anything good or small...so if he could find a way to vent the built-up energy, he was sure that the impending Chaos would find smaller outlets for it rather than larger ones...but how? It was fundamentally unsafe to try and redirect it to one spot...maybe he would have to find some way of dealing with it.
It was around this time that anyone that was looking at Raiden would notice that the cup of punch he was holding was actually starting to boil a bit...which was odd since there was a rim of frost on the outside of the cup. |

"My fight was interrupted. I would like to finish it... and worse for wear doesn't begin to describe me." Petros chuckles just a bit though it seems forced. "The seal I broke that gave me that surge of energy permanently upped my energy out put and cracked my power core. These where both known possibilities and in short it means I am dieing." Petros becomes somber at the thought of his own mortality.
"If you don't suggest doing it on the wraith's terms what had you in mind?"
The wall of stone surrounding the two recedes back into the ground as Petros motions to walk. He pulled his hood up over his head and hides his hands in his sleeves in front of him. |

| Of course Sconibulus would find Semaj's flying toy irresistable thinks Laidan. Looking back at his date he asks "Well given that, shall we pay our respects to the guest of honor?" |

| Corsica tightens her grip on her date's arm. "A... a bit longer. I'm not quite..." She takes a sip of her punch then, blinking. "Huh. Someone spiked it. That might come in handy." She'd been drinking enough alcohol in the last few months to recognize that particular kick right away - and to think it a good idea to rapidly drain her cup. |

Semaj would then notice a slim figure leap from the roof to land neatly on the back of the flying machine. Sconibulus would notice the bone golem politely tapping him on the shoulder. "Lord Chancellor Kaelas wishes for you to not start another war." Golden stares at the young Magus with unblinking yellow eyes. He's not supposed to hurt humans but that doesn't mean he can't make them very uncomfortable.
---
Inside, Kaelas closes his eyes. "Who else?" he asks with a mournful sigh. Alpha frowns at Raiden. Heating fruit punch will completely ruin the delicate mix of the flavors- if he had wanted a hot beverage, there are plenty of teas and even a nice mulled wine available. |

"Oh, my..." Semaj was almost breathless as he saw the bone golem jump down and somehow get though the propeller of the helicopter without getting sliced and diced, landing in the only open spot behind the pilots seat. His worry would then turn to reality. The helicopter was a light weight model. At best it holds two people. Its not that it couldn't hold both Sconibulus and the golem but the quick addition of weight would throw the helicopter off balance and the front of the top propeller into the ground. If Semaj had been piloting he might have been able to recover but someone with no true idea of the controls wouldn't even have a chance.
As the blade catches the ground the helicopter body would spin about as the blade was ripped apart. The impact would also brake open the tanks. One was just was just water but the other was a slightly toxic chemical. BOOM the tanks would go as their pressure was quickly released.
Semaj dropped his flask and could only hope the two survived. |

"Well Petros we'll be moving in in just under a week. Though I've totaled about 40 wraiths, but haven't been able to pin point The location of the being you fought. Which lead me to believe he is hiding himself and many more wraiths. You wouldn't get 30 feet before you where ripped apart. I'm literally going in with an army.
As for your power source breaking down, could we, at the very least, bleed off the excess energy to give you time, and I highly suggest you see Semaj... he isn't doing so well."
Gordon Bent down scribing his quick walk spell, (OOC: See The SFC Conference.) "I really need to get going, If you won't come with me please go south of Fellin, and get your self destroyed, that way Semaj won't need to know how you abandoned him." With that Gordon stepped forward launching forward towards his workshop. The quick walk spell humming gently on the ground a small speck of light came off it and landed on Petros' ankle where it left an white mark. Same as last time the spell would only last about 5 minutes or so before burning out. |

| Laidan nods his agreement, and after a quick stop at the refreshment table to top off the cups (just in case), they begin working their way toward the "birthday boy". "Hey, I just realized I don't know how to address a sentient golem," he whispers to his date as they walk. "Do they just use standard pronouns according to their shape?" Perhaps I could have thought of this a little earlier he thinks wryly. |

"He considers himself male," she replies, softly. "Far as I know, they take their gender identity from their form, same as their personalities and whatever else."
Interestingly enough, she's wrong on some of her points - but as far as the current scene goes, not too wrong. Viktor does, indeed, consider himself male; furthermore, he looks more and more miserable the more he's forced to socialize with people he barely knows. As they approach, he turns to Laidan, clearly steeling himself for yet another painful encounter with someone who barely knows how to address him, let alone what to say. As much as he likes "little sister" Ceriph, this may have been one of the most idiotic ideas she'd come up with, in his eyes. Last Edited: May 11, 2010, 8:40 pm |

| Before they get very far from the refreshment table, the old man that had been standing off to the side of everything by himself approaches them. Stabbing at Laiden with his cane, he demands in a strong but dry voice, "what did you mean, sentient golem?" That's strange, how had he heard Laiden's softly spoken comment? Not being able to lean on his cane, he starts to stagger a little and his golem reaches over to steady him. Hermes scowls, swatting at the golem's hands but it doesn't seem bothered. Probably just a regular golem then. |

| Laidan seems to puff up, a bit like an angry cat. "I'm sorry, you must have mis-heard me, understandable at your age, but I distinctly said 'salient golem,' as in 'this specific golem'. I don't believe we've been properly introduced, I'm Laidan." He stares expectantly at the older man, though he doesn't actually expect much civility after his response. The old fart's lucky Laidan didn't just grab the cane and let him figure out how not to tip over the rest of the night after that interruption. |
