Heroica RPG - Quest#93: School's Out

[-obelix-]

The party decides to split up. Heckz leads his party to the Gallery, where they find the big box still intact.

"Here's the box. Should I try to send the people with us home now?"

Thalion nods, "Please do so."

[Kintobor]

Karie watches the rest of the group leave out of the classroom, leaving her and her grandfather alone with the student. Quietness filled the room.

"I guess that means I'm in charge for now."

Meanwhile, Karie and Sorrow stay in the Physics Classroom with the elven student.

"Are we just going to sit around and wait here? My friends might be in trouble, you must help me find them!"

"Well, that depends on your take of Fonzies and Cherls, or whatever they're called. I know a few we can pick up, but if not, it would be wise to stay here until the rest of the group returns. Do you know where any of them might be? It would be wise to look around for supplies."

Karie looks around the room, trying to find anything of use, still speaking with the elven student.

"Can you fend for yourself? Have you ever held, say, a dagger before?"

[Myrddyn]

Thalion nods, "Please do so."

"Sounds good. You gonna want my tonic afterwards, or is someone else givin' you one?"

[Endgame]

"Sounds fine to me."

"I'm unsure if going through the school while split up is a good idea. Who knows if we encounter another sort of Reaper? We may not be able to fend it off, and I'd rather not perish before my two years or so are up."

Speaking of my mortality...

"Karie, have I been acting different, this quest?"

[Cutcobra]

"Noel, send all this people to Eubric, like now. Then you can drink this, like later." Heckz gives Noel a Grand Tonic.

[Endgame]

"What's our course of action, Karie?

And, um, I did ask my previous question, right? I didn't forget to vocalize it, did I?"

This isn't good...

[Sandy]

"Noel, send all this people to Eubric, like now. Then you can drink this, like later." Heckz gives Noel a Grand Tonic.

Professor Watt looks at the big box suspiciously, but climbs inside.

"Well, if you are sure... Please, save everyone you can!"

Joy peers down to the entrance hall where her brother's body is still lying.

"P-please, can you send Ixion after us so we can give him a proper burial in Mopag?"

Peppy, Willow and Sheldon also get into the box, and the heroes close the lid.

"Here goes nothing... Mom, I've got Z-mail for you!"

The box disappears in a swirl of light. The party waits for several grueling minutes. Then the box suddenly pops back, empty except for a note.

Everyone arrived safe and sound. Great work, Noel!

Love,

Mom

"Aww, hell..." Noel cusses as he blushes.

Karie looks around the room, trying to find anything of use, still speaking with the elven student.

"Can you fend for yourself? Have you ever held, say, a dagger before?"

Karie looks around the classroom, but only finds scattered papers, tattered books and pencils. Nothing useful.

"We elven students do not get along with neither Midgets nor Greenies. That is how it has always been. And no, I do not think I'd know how to use a dagger without stabbing myself with it."

[-obelix-]

Relieved that they saved the first group of people, Thalion turns and looks at the party, "Alright, shall we get back to Karie and Sorrow?"

[Kintobor]

"What's our course of action, Karie?

And, um, I did ask my previous question, right? I didn't forget to vocalize it, did I?"

This isn't good...

"Well, we could wait. They shouldn't be too long now. Utuilë, do you know the layout of the school? Could you draw it out for us?"

She hands Utuilë a pen and paper.

"About you acting weird? Not really. I get why you don't want me wearing this, Sorrow. Why, is something wrong?"

[Endgame]

"I've been feeling... Irritable. I've been pretty leveleheaded for most of my adult life. I would get sarcastic easily, sure, but that really ha dno true emotion assocaied with it. The only thing that could really anger me was discrimination against undead. But now... Here i am, glaring at my only flesh and blood with contempt just because of some dress, brimming with frustration just because of some adolescents. I cannot remember the last time I was so drained of patience, and this quest is probably just beginning.

I've beginning to foret things as well. Not just the past, but the present, as well. I can hardly remewmber the layout of ths confounded place - I'm starting to struggle with remembering what's on my personage. This hasn't happened before. The anger, frustration, lack of patience, memory loss... None of it has occured in the past.

Do I seem like I'm going senile, Karie? Don't be afraid to tell the truth."

Edited February 8, 2014 by Endgame

[Cutcobra]

"Yeah, let's get back to Karie and Sorrow, and let's take this box with us too."

[Myrddyn]

"Yeah, let's get back to Karie and Sorrow, and let's take this box with us too."

"Yeah, lets go back, but I don't think there's much point taking the box.

It's heavy, and we've mostly cleared that wing anyway, so we'll be coming back this way when we go to clear the rest of the place."

[Kintobor]

"I've been feeling... Irritable. I've been pretty leveleheaded for most of my adult life. I would get sarcastic easily, sure, but that really ha dno true emotion assocaied with it.

The anger, frustration, lack of patience, memory loss... None of it has occured in the past.

Do I seem like I'm going senile, Karie? Don't be afraid to tell the truth."

Karie looks down. She's not afraid to tell Sorrow, she's afraid in knowing what the answer is.

"No, you have a right to be angry with me. I mean, even I think this skirts a little too skimpy. I'm angry at these kids too, Sorrow, for the most part, but I've lived this whole thing out five years ago. It was all about being popular and trendy, and being with your own clique. Amelia fit right in with hers."

Karie bit her lip. She remembered the few times she had friends during her schooling, if they could even be called that. She tried lightening up the mood.

"Pfft. I don't even know where we are. I'm... kind of bad with maps and directions, and stuff along those lines. But if you feel like your forgetting things... I don't know what to say, honestly. Generally speaking, when it comes to that kind of stuff, I'm trying to forget things. Things I regret doing. Things others did to me that I wish I could forget..."

Karie stops speaking, looking worried.

"Sorrow. I'm not worried about you going senile. I'm worried about losing you."

[Endgame]

I give a small, sorrowful smile. With my hood off it looked absolutely grotesque, but at least recognizable now.

"Only a 'little' too skimpy, huh?"

My expression hardens as I continue.

"It's just... So unlike me. I rarely get frustrated. My patience never just vanishes at the drop of a hat like this...And this constant memory loss, both short-term and longterm? Brand new.

When I die, I want to die as Sorrow. I don't want my mind to wither and decay, and my body to just expire after. Do you understand what I mean? I want to be aware when I perish, I want to be able to remember the people I've met and the things I've done. I'm more afraid of the senility than death, to be perfectly honest."

"Karie, I still have a year left in me, minimum. I'll be around for a while. It may not seem like a long time, but in my over four hundred centuries, the ages just seem to drag on by now. Time was never really an object to me, before. As long as I didn't let some racist stab me, I could keep chugging along. But now? Not so much. I've got a bucket list of sorts.

1. Get a roof over my head, maybe just a tiny little room in some tavern.

2. Become a necromancer.

3. See the Wolfgang fall, or at least weakened.

4. Be there for whenever you choose to get married... Which I'm guessing isn't too far off, is it?

[Kintobor]

Karie's attitude still seemed down, but she gave a small, innocent, but genuine smile at Sorrow's comment on the marriage.

"I'm not sure when it's going to be, but it'll be soon. It's just... weird, I guess. I've never been told by someone they're going to die. It was always just... so sudden. It's not something I ever expected to hear. I feel vulnerable. I feel really vulnerable."

She sat on one of the desks and stared off into nothing.

"Did I ever tell you what happened on my first quest?"

[Endgame]

"That's... Another reason why I objected so much to the dress. I knew what you were planning, to a degree. I knew you wanted to marry that man, and yet... Here you were, walking around with that dress on. He seems more than devoted to you, and I just see harlotry as the inability to be devoted to any one person. It just reminded me of what I did to Sarah far too much.

I'm not saying you're not devoted to Masson, Karie. In fact, I'm guessing if a woman is willing to propose to the man, you must like him quite a bit, huh? Does the rest of your family know about him at all?

No... No, you never told me about your first quest. Do you want to?"

[legobodgers]

Amorith stands back and lets Karie and Sorrow talk in private, happy that at least some of the complaining teenagers had left.

[Kintobor]

"That's... Another reason why I objected so much to the dress. I knew what you were planning, to a degree. I knew you wanted to marry that man, and yet...

No... No, you never told me about your first quest. Do you want to?"

"Well, my adoptive father and sister walked in on us a few weeks ago. They left shortly thereafter. They're apparently still in Eubric."

Karie sighed. Now wasn't the time. Not with Utuilë in the room. They'd been through enough.

"When we return to the hall, I'll tell you there. It's... not something I like to dwell upon."

Lab rat.

[Endgame]

"...Okay.

Heroica hasn't been too kind to you, has it, Karie? Anything good come from your questing?"

[Endgame]

"Oh, and before I forget..."

I down a mead, Smelling Salts, and Nostrum.

Any consumable you want, Karie?"

I look at the doorway, and see the rest of the party standing there.

"Or any of you, for that matter?"

[Kintobor]

"Quite the collection you've got there."

Karie quips.

"I'll take one of your meads, nostrums, and smelling salts, if you don't mind. I've got a few on me, but they're more for emergencies."

She uncorks the lid of the nostrum and begins to chug it down. She turns around and realize the rest of the party's standing in the doorway apparently.

"...how long have you guys been standing there?"

[Endgame]

I'm guessing that the party gets back without hindrance, but if not, disregard those lines and chalk them up to Sorrow's senility.

"Catch, then."

I throw Karie a bottle of mead, nostrums, and smelling salts.

[Sandy]

"Well, we could wait. They shouldn't be too long now. Utuilë, do you know the layout of the school? Could you draw it out for us?"

"I'm not your personal scribe. Just get me out of here!"

The heroes at the Gallery return to the Physics Classroom carrying the big box there. They are lucky not to run into any enemies on their way. They are reunited with Karie, Sorrow and Utulië.

"Shall we go to the lavatory? I don't believe those brats hate Pointers so maybe they'll follow us." He then turns to Sorrow. "I wouldn't mind one of your Smellings Salts or a Nostrum..."

"We still have Noel with us though, Heckz. We'll need to find this Amanda and bring her to them. We need to keep moving. What rooms have we not been too?"

She felt awkward having just let everything out only to have the rest of the party walk in on the tail end of Sorrow and her's discussion.
