01<@Ardweden> [Day: Sunday, September 12. Time: Morning, likely.] 01<@Ardweden> [You're in Rockefeller Center at Christmas, if it were basically a carnival with animalistic people. Imp's been searching for Tony this entire time, and he seems to have finally gotten a lock on him! Which is good. He's leading you down to the ice skating rink now, though how he gets there... well, he CAN glide, so, hm.] 01<@Ardweden> [Puck is there, too, but he is no longer eating a sausage roll. He says he's agreed to help you, though whether it's his or Toci's idea to *actually* help, well. He's picking at his panpipes as he follows Imp.] 01<@Ardweden> [Session Start!] 06* @Imp just half floats off in the direction he thinks he should go focused on it and not Puck 01<@Ardweden> [Puck gets to the railing at the end of the walkway and looks down to the rink, which is a good twenty-five foot drop. "Huh," he says.] 06* Kali makes her way to the edge of the rink as well, behind the two, lower arms wrapped around her torso. She places them on the railing, while her upper right hand cups at her brow as she looks out and down over the rink. Joan looks around for stairs or some such. "'Ow to get down zere?" 06* Joan does that too. ooog 06* Susano-o makes his way over to the side of the rink, and stands beside Kali, looking down. He peers with concentration after the Imp. 06* Hien brings up the rear and gazes down at the rink. 01<@Ardweden> [Puck shrugs. "Not a problem for me," he says, disappearing in a swirl of leaves to reappear on the side of the rink.] I could get down. But I don't know if I could carry anyone while I do it... 06* @Imp looks back and then stops struggling to float back. I could get down and carry someone. Possibly both of you. Flying would proooobably be more reliable for you two. But we need to find out where Imp's going first. Don't want to land in the wrong spot. 06* @Imp barely gets back. "Why did you stop?" 06* Kali nods. "Well, either way, I think we should also keep an eye on Puck. Let me know if it ends up being the wrong way." She lifts her fingers off the railing and snaps her fingers, reappearing at the side of the rink. Off of the ice if possible. 01<@Ardweden> [Below, Puck has pulled out his pipes and is playing them while he waits.] We were trying to see where you went. 01<@Ardweden> [Puck nods to Kali when she pops in!] 06* Susano-o peers deeply off in the direction the Imp had been going in still. 06* @Imp just dives down again going for the direction he knows he should! "Come on! Follow" 06* Hien looks at Joan and Susano-O. "Ready?" 06* Susano-o blinks a couple of times, his eyes lightening a little, and nods. "Yeah." 01<@Ardweden> [The skaters, for the record, look like they're having a GREAT time: hippos, giraffes, hyenas, and warthogs all skating about. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which direction they're going, however, and there are a few nasty spills as they collide with each other.] 06* Kali watches Puck and his pipe playing suspiciously, taking a glance around the rink now that she's more at eye level. 06* Hien picks Susano-o up under one arm - carefully - and Joan under the other - also carefully - spreads her wings, and glides down to the rink. 06* @Imp doesn't look at them he's focusing on saving his friend. 06* Hien sets the two down next to Kali. 06* Joan is picked up! 06* Susano-o tries not to look down or move too much or anything while they're moving. 06* Kali nods to Hien and then glances at Imp, going to follow him. 01<@Ardweden> [Imp feels a tug... there, towards the side, and thankfully off the rink. A series of doors, all with Christmas wreaths, lights, and bows.] 06* Susano-o squirms a little bit after they land, and he checks to make sure everything's still in the right place, weapon-wise. 01<@Ardweden> [Puck finishes his tune with a shrill pitch, and the ground rumbles slightly, knocking a couple of skaters into each other.] <@Imp> THIS WAY! 06* @Imp zooms for it 06* Kali glances at Puck's sudden tune and scowls a bit. "*Please* tell me that is actually intended to help. I'd hate to kill you." 01<@Ardweden> [Puck smiles cheekily at Kali. "I'd hate to kill you, so we're even! I just invited a friend."] 06* Kali loses the scowl into a more normal frown. "Friend?" 01<@Ardweden> [Imp zooms straight into Toci, who just sort of blinks slowly as he bounces off of her and onto the ice, skidding backwards a bit.] 06* Susano-o watches the Imp go, and makes to follow while he's still visible, but then stops when he bounces off, surprised. 01<@Ardweden> ["Yup." And Puck points out Toci.] 06* Hien takes a few steps after Imp but also stops. She waves at Toci. "Oh, hello." 06* Kali looks at that and sighs, rubbing her face with upper righty. "Look. As much as I appreciate the humor if that was planned...." 01<@Ardweden> ["Hello," Toci responds to Hien, before blinking at Imp again. "Are you okay?"] <@Imp> HEY! 06* @Imp rubs his head glaring at Toci. 06* Joan says, "Greetings." to Toci. How polite. 01<@Ardweden> [Puck grins. "*She* didn't plan it. She's got no sense of humor." At that, Toci frowns at Puck.] 01<@Ardweden> [But she does manage to nod her greetings to Joan. Slowly, but there it is.] Stone-faced? 06* Susano-o nods to her as well, then. No use not being as polite as Joan. 01<@Ardweden> ["Damn straight," Puck says. "See, I knew you'd get it."] <@Imp> That fucking hurt and you blocked the path 01<@Ardweden> ["Not on purpose," Toci explains, taking her time with those three words.] 06* Kali folds her arms. "Get over it." She sighs and looks at the tree and series of doors. "Where do we need to go exactly?" <@Imp> eeeh That way 06* @Imp points all confident like, glaring at the statue. 06* Susano-o cranes his neck to try to look around Toci, then. 06* Kali frowns and looks around as well. 01<@Ardweden> [Toci looks innocent. Well, really, she looks like she always does, but innocent enough!] 01<@Ardweden> [Behind her is another door, much like the others, all decked out for Christmas time.] This isn't a maze, is it? I hate mazes. 06* Susano-o nods to Toci again, then. "If you'll excuse me for the moment," he says, and tries to angle past towards the indicated door. 01<@Ardweden> [She stands there! And Susano-O makes it to the door.] 06* Susano-o tries opening the door, then! 01<@Ardweden> [Behind the door is a gray mist! DO YOU DARE ENTER?] 01<@Ardweden> [Hey Imp, Tony's definitely behind that mist.] <@Imp> Come on guys! 06* @Imp enters! 03* Hank2 is now known as Hank 06* Hien follows! 06* Kali pauses for a moment, then enters in as well. 01<@Ardweden> [Puck thumbs ups and heads right in after the other guys!] 06* Susano-o waits until everyone makes it in, holding the door. 01<@Ardweden> [Toci moves for the doorway, but OH GOD is she slow, and while her legs do move, both feet remain firmly planted on the ground. Despite being right the door, it still takes her a full minute to enter. "Thanks," she says to Susano-O before she goes through.] 06* @Imp is very impatient. 03* Hank is now known as Joan 06* Susano-o nods to her, and waits for Joan to go, as well. 06* Joan does go! Joan went earlier, only you didn't realize it 'cause of the d/c 06* Susano-o follows behind her, then, taking a look back over the rink before heading into the mist. <@Imp> Come on he's in here! Joan turns up the light, in an effort to make it easier to see in there. 06* Joan does that, too. 06* Susano-o looks ahead into the lightened mist, then! If the Imp knows where they're going, he'll follow. 06* @Imp keeps going following his instict. 01<@Ardweden> [Behind the door is... SESSION END.]
