** You are now disconnected ------------------------------ Logging started for Blitzed:#7thseaic on Friday, 2 October 2020 10:42:48 British Summer Time ------------------------------ ** You have joined #7thseaic (Molly) **The Sudlache looks almost the colour of dracheneisen as the sky darkens further. It's almost ten minutes later, with no sign of Edward from the guardhouse or Molly from the Mine when he hears her in his head "on my way, stay out of the guardhouse" * @Morgan continues cleaning his weaponry, putting it back in their various sheathes (Molly) Molly walks back down the lawn. Beside her, two Nieblungen are holding her hands. Each has a basket in the free hand. Molly looks as if she has given up trying to understand the oddness of the situation and us just going with it. * Molly watches Morgan's expression as she approaches * @Morgan watches them, continuing his cleaning (Molly) **They let go of her hands, then bow to him. She sits beside him ** You're now known as Nieblungen * @Morgan bows his head (Nieblungen) You did what you would do. ((They said that morning You will do what you will do)) * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Its all I can do (Nieblungen) **the other Nieblungen walks down to the board walk ** (Nieblungen) We will fix their memories (@Morgan) All of them? (Nieblungen) Yes (@Morgan) What should I do about *he gestures at the destruction around him* (Nieblungen) When the lightening strikes, burn it hot. *They reach into a basket, retrieving something* (@Morgan) They will not remember what happened? (Nieblungen) **The other Nieblungen is collecting up any bits that would risk people realising, and puts them on the boardwalk ** (Nieblungen) They will remember differently. (@Morgan) What will they remember? (Nieblungen) We will get to that. * Nieblungen hands him a wooden box, made from the wood of the schwarzenwald * @Morgan tries not to grimace as he takes it (Nieblungen) **On the top it has a worked Dracheneisen plaque, not inscribed, but it has a groove that looks finger tip sized. (@Morgan) Whats this? (Nieblungen) A box. (@Morgan) Whats _in_ the box? (Nieblungen) Nothing. (@Morgan) What do I need to do with it?\ (Nieblungen) Put the shard in it. * @Morgan frowns briefly before taking out the shard (@Morgan) very well (Nieblungen) **at present, the shard looks perfectly normal * @Morgan tries to open the box (Nieblungen) **it seems that it is impossible to open * @Morgan places a finger on the groove and tries again (Nieblungen) **he lifts the top off with ease * @Morgan puts the shard inside the box (Nieblungen) **The box appears to be lined with worked Dracheneisen. The shard fits perfectly (Nieblungen) It sleeps. It will not react to magics in there. You cannot burn the wood very hot without it heating. This protects you. (@Morgan) I should leave it in there always? (Nieblungen) No. It will be useful to you * @Morgan nods, putting the lid back on (Nieblungen) When either of you use your magic strongly, put it in there. Especially during the coupling after healing. (Nieblungen) **Molly fidgets a little at his side* * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) alright * Nieblungen gets out something else. In the background, the other Nieblungen slings the axe head far out into the Sudlache (Nieblungen) **Molly speaks quietly* Might I ask, if it was not in the box during... that, what would happen? * Nieblungen looks at her. It doesn't exactly smile, but nor does it seem annoyed or hostile. It's almost as if the question is anticipated (Nieblungen) We think it would explode (Nieblungen) M: *She blushes, glancing at Morgan* (@Morgan) That would be less than ideal (Nieblungen) Yes it would * Nieblungen hands Morgan one of his own shirts and pairs of trousers that must have come from their trunk * @Morgan takes them (Nieblungen) The blood on you does not fit with their memories * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) the wound in my leg wouldn't either, then... * Nieblungen takes out a beautiful irresdecent bottle (Nieblungen) No. You must drink this. It will stop the pain and soreness. You will be able to walk. But the scar you want to keep will remain. * @Morgan nods, taking the bottle (Nieblungen) **There is only a small volume of clear liquid in it * @Morgan sniffs it (Nieblungen) **it smells of nothing * @Morgan drinks it (Nieblungen) *it also tastes of nothing. The pain and soreness stops as if the wound occurred years ago (Nieblungen) M: *She quietly watches his reaction * @Morgan flexes his leg (Nieblungen) **it feels perfectly fine (@Morgan) Alright then. (Nieblungen) Now, you must have a second memory (@Morgan) a second memory? (Nieblungen) You will know that memory as well as if it happened, but you will know it did not. You will see what they saw. * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I understand * Nieblungen places it's finger on the centre of Morgan's forehead, tapping rhythmically (Nieblungen) **The executioner raises the axe. It flashes with reflected light at the top of its arc. His stroke is hard and fast, perfectly accurate. With a wet crunch and a thud, Alarice's severed head hits the boardwalk, a brief spray of blood. Beside Morgan, Adalbrecht says "Father into your hands we commend Alarice, a daughter, niece, and cousin, and we ask for mercy upon her soul. Amen". (Mtf) (Nieblungen) Morgan and Edward say Amen also. They all stand quietly a moment, and then guards bring out the coffin, wrapping her body and nailing it shut. They all congregate, and it is decided that Edward and Morgan will stay with the coffin until a cart is brought, and that Claudia will go and get Molly so she can be with them, whilst the others go for a steadying drink (mtf) (Nieblungen) Everyone disperses, and Edward goes with the guards, priest and executioner into the guard house to get coffee. Molly arrives. * Nieblungen removes it's finger * Nieblungen moves to Molly, finger outstretched (can interupt if he would) (@Morgan) She will remember as I do? (Nieblungen) Yes and no. She will also have a second memory, and know which was real, but her memory will be of being in the nursery, not the beheading * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) but her real memory will remain (Nieblungen) Completely. You both need to remember. * @Morgan nods * Nieblungen waits watching him, as if waiting for permission * @Morgan nods to him (@Morgan) go on * Nieblungen does the same thing to Molly. There's a quiet rumble of thunder. The other Nieblungen returns (Nieblungen) ((Attention?)) (@Morgan) ((the clouds)) (Nieblungen) **The clouds are gathering. A storm looks likely * Nieblungen looks back to Morgan (Nieblungen) When the rain starts, they will all awake with their new memories, and assume to lightening ignited the boardwalk (Nieblungen) The* * @Morgan nods, taking off his coat (@Morgan) I suppose the shirt and trousers need to burn as well... they don't fit with the memories they'll have * Nieblungen bow (Nieblungen) Yes. We will leave you now * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) thank you * Nieblungen bow to Molly, and then walk fast up the lawn and towards the woods * @Morgan watches them go, taking off his shirt ** You're now known as Molly * Molly stands, shaking off the grass from her skirt (Molly) That was odd * @Morgan pulls the clean shirt on, nodding (@Morgan) That was one of the easier to follow conversations * Molly manages, heroically, not to stare whilst he is briefly half undressed (Molly) They were waiting for me * @Morgan glances round before changing his trousers (@Morgan) They do that... They knew you were coming * Molly blushes, smiling, watching the lake (Molly) They had their baskets ready * @Morgan nods, throwing his clothes onto the boardwalk before putting his coat back on (@Morgan) If nothing else, that should tell you the fates blindness is wrong (Molly) **The thunder cracks, louder, closer. His fingers begin to tingle (@Morgan) come on, away from there (Molly) I have put a pin in that all for now *She smiles, moving away from the twisted wood and back up on to the grass aways* * @Morgan stands apart from her, rubbing his fingers against his palms * Molly watches him. The tingling increases massively, his fingers almost throbbing with it. The thunder is louder this time (Molly) **There is a very bright fork of lightening directly above, the electricity running to the exact spot in which Alarice had died. The thunder that occurs at that moment is the loudest he has ever heard * @Morgan concentrates hard on increasing the heat from the lightning strike (Molly) **As with when he ramped up the intensity whilst creating Marcheline the fire becomes white hot and furious. It spreads the full length of the board walk in a matter of seconds. It roars, an inferno. * Molly watches in shock * @Morgan concentrates on keeping it that way for a few seconds (Molly) **It is disturbingly easy for him to do that (Molly) **There is another crash of thunder, lightening arcing between the heavy clouds (Molly) **The boardwalk is well ablaze, and there is no way anyone could tell what is traditional Eisen magic and what is just an Act Of God * @Morgan watches the flames (Molly) **Suddenly, the rain starts * Molly watches him still * @Morgan sighs (Molly) **The rain starts to dampen the flames, but does not extinguish them. It is clear the fire will now destroy the boardwalk entirely left to its own devices * @Morgan moves to stand beside her * Molly puts her hand in his. The rain is heavy, cool, and would smell wonderful if it weren't for the smell of burning timbers (@Morgan) Now what... (Molly) **There is another rumble and flash in the distance** * Molly wraps her arm around his waist (Molly) I wish I knew, liebling. I wish I knew. (@Morgan) Would you care to go and raise the alarm? (Molly) **There is a shout of alarm from within the guardhouse, and the door is flung open (@Morgan) or maybe not * Molly squeezes him briefly. The rain pours down on them. She lets go * @Morgan takes his hat and puts it on her head * Molly looks up at him, blushing and giggling, and a little giddy about it (Molly) Why thank you, my Lord * @Morgan nods, shedding his coat and placing it around her shoulders * Molly blushes further (Molly) Liebes herz, you will get soaked! (@Morgan) It wouldn't be the first time * Molly laughs (Molly) I have always liked you in wet clothing anyway! * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I dont mind, until I get to that half dry stage (Molly) **Edward comes barrelling out of the guardhouse, not looking at the fire as the guards are, but looking around the lawn frantically (Molly) Maybe we will prevent you getting to that stage! *She smiles with mischief* (Molly) **large parts of the boardwalk start to fall into the Sudlache (@Morgan) Whats the problem Edward? (Molly) **Edward runs over, looking relieved* Nothing now. * @Morgan looks confused (Molly) E: I was concerned for you * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) We're fine (Molly) **Edward seems to be tolerating the rain. The guards appear to be discussing whether to try and put out the fire, then pick up Alarice's coffin, moving into the dry guard house (Molly) E: *he nods* I should check on Father * Molly looks to Morgan (Molly) I think we should probably also go back for Varick * @Morgan nods (Molly) **Edward inclines his head, moving off at a jog up the lawn * @Morgan looks over the boardwalk before turning and heading for the main house * Molly walks beside him (Molly) I did not realise you could do that (@Morgan) What? (Molly) That level of intensity (@Morgan) I didn't expect it to be quite _that_ spectacular * Molly tucks her hands into the pockets of his coat (Molly) It was incredible (Molly) ((Attention?)) (@Morgan) ((the house)) (Molly) **There's Nothing much to see, expect for Edward's back. Everyone seems to be staying dry indoors. (Molly) Does it trouble you? (@Morgan) Somewhat * Molly nods sadly (Molly) Does it trouble you that they know about my healing? * @Morgan smiles slightly (@Morgan) No more than anything else they know does * Molly glances at him (Molly) What do you think about how that specific after-effect could probably explode raw Dracheneisen? (@Morgan) I've no idea what to make of that (Molly) It's... concerning... * @Morgan nods * Molly sighs a moment, then inhales deeply (Molly) Well, liebes herz, I guess that means we absolutely cannot get up to any unexpected mischief in a Dracheneisen Mine ever (@Morgan) Aside from the fact I wouldn't dare anyway... I daresay it'd mean most of Eisen exploding * Molly blushes, smiling (Molly) It would be rather a spectacular way to go, I suppose * @Morgan nods * Molly glances at him (Molly) It was a little embarrassing that they knew about it though (@Morgan) I'm more or less resigned to them knowing everything * Molly nods (Molly) I think you're right * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I'm fairly used to that * Molly tilts her head (Molly) Being right? * @Morgan nods, smiling slightly * Molly giggles (Molly) It was very, very difficult to stay put when you commanded me to stay away (@Morgan) I am grateful that you did... I could not bear it if she'd hurt you * Molly watches him a moment, biting her lip (Molly) I will follow your commands, liebes herz, always * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) She wanted to make me suffer... harming you would have been the most effective way to do that * Molly watches him, water dripping from the hat (Molly) I did not understand that yesterday... I think I do today * @Morgan looks at her (@Morgan) oh? (Molly) I just did not... _could not_ understand the intensity of your love for me (@Morgan) you do now? (Molly) I am getting to, yes * Molly checks his expression (@Morgan) good (Molly) I am sorry I did not before (@Morgan) That was my failing blossom, not yours (Molly) No liebling. I should have come to you with my feelings (@Morgan) Yes, you should. Still, it is dealt with now, and we can fix it going foward * Molly nods, looking towards the house (Molly) I would like that * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) me too (Molly) **They get to the closest door, the one he put the spider out of by the guardroom (Molly) Do Edward and your Father know they are coming to Atemlos and then on The Rose? (@Morgan) Edward does * Molly nods, pushing the door open (Molly) How did he react? (@Morgan) He knew her birthday was soon, but not the exact date... He says he'll happily keep you safe while I go on * Molly nods {surprise} and goes indoors (Molly) It will give he and I time to get to know each other... * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Hopefully that'll go well * Molly takes off his hat, then his coat (Molly) We will see, I suppose. Edward and I have previously clashed... as I generally seem to with Eisen men *She smiles a little* * @Morgan nods * Molly shakes out her hair, and it flicks to and fro, kept mostly dry and curly by the hat and coat collar (Molly) Do you wish he and I to be close? (@Morgan) It would make things easier in the long run * Molly glances at him, looks as if she will say something, then focuses on how to carry the dripping coat (@Morgan) No, i did not answer your question... I'm still getting used to he and I becoming closer * Molly smiles a little (Molly) I only wish to do what would please you and not displease you * @Morgan nods (Molly) I would not force you to answer questions you are not comfortable answering. I know you will do the same if you ask any of the questions I would not wish to answer * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I think perhaps this isn't the time, thats all (Molly) No. There are many, many questions that this is not the time for. We should get dry * @Morgan nods * Molly starts to walk through the house. They get to the armoury door (Molly) **Fuchs is leaving through it just as they get there * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Colonel (Molly) F: *he bows* We are going to delay the burial for a couple of hours, and wait til the storm has blown over * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) makes sense (Molly) F: Do you still intend to go? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Varick wishes to, I will not let him face that alone (Molly) F: *he inclines his head* I will send a servant to let you know. His Grace and Graf Seeufer will not be attending (@Morgan) no? (Molly) F: They do not feel they need further closure on the matter * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) very well (Molly) F: *he inclines his head, going back in to the armoury* * Molly looks at Morgan (Molly) *quietly* I never told you the other wood warping nightmare... (@Morgan) no? (Molly) {Jealousy} Do you recall I mentioned the nightmare where you were *Jealousy becomes clear in her expression* being intimate with Alarice in your Father's library? (@Morgan) vaguely (Molly) In that, my anger ripped the wood in the room to pieces, and those pieces led to both of you dying horribly * @Morgan nods (Molly) I brushed it off, thinking it was just jealousy (@Morgan) Understandable (Molly) **They head towards the stairs for the nursery (Molly) Perhaps I would have put two and two together, foreseen it (@Morgan) I dont see that was a possibility really * Molly shrugs a little (Molly) I suppose not (@Morgan) I only really put it together when it all... kicked off (Molly) Do you think she pre-planned it? (@Morgan) No... I don't think even she knew she could do it (Molly) Like when it started with us? * @Morgan nods * Molly nods slowly, getting to the staircase (Molly) That implies possibly summerhouse * @Morgan nods (Molly) Which would be nice * @Morgan nods * Molly nods slowly (Molly) **The halls are quiet, and they get to the nursery without interruption. Claudia is still outside. Molly smiles, then goes in, giving him the option of speaking to Claudia or following * @Morgan nods to her, heading into the room * Molly glances around, seeing noone * Molly moves towards Varick's room, peaking through the door before returning (Molly) He's fast asleep * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) good (@Morgan) I wonder if you should sleep also * Molly hangs up his coat and hat (Molly) I feel fine, but if you do not wish to stay, you do not have to * Molly takes off her boots (@Morgan) No, I want to get changed and have a hot drink * Molly watches him briefly (Molly) Shall I arrange that whilst you change? (@Morgan) If you don't mind * Molly nods, smiling slightly (Molly) Of course * @Morgan nods, going to get changed * Molly deals with this task, and coffee is already there and poured when is done. She looks him over a moment with a smile (Molly) Better? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Now, there is a matter of import I wished to deal with with you * Molly looks at him, serious (Molly) Yes, liebes herz? (@Morgan) I spoke with Marta * Molly blinks {fear} (Molly) I see (@Morgan) You will not need examining blossom, you can relax * Molly does (Molly) I am glad to hear that * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) You are to avoid anything that could lead to blood loss in the meantime, the amount you lost, it would be very dangerous * Molly nods (Molly) Yes (Molly) I will do that, of course * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) aside from that, we follow your lead... our not resuming our... activities is solely to save you discomfort * Molly nods slowly (Molly) What do you think of that? (@Morgan) I'm happy about that. The danger of it was not there. * Molly looks thoughtful (Molly) I mean... I'm not sure how I will really know if it will cause discomfort until it happens (@Morgan) No, I know... I am in no rush in that respect, but I am thrilled about knowing it is not a risk to your health * Molly smiles warmly (Molly) I am glad you are thrilled... (@Morgan) The worry of it has gone. Does that make sense? * Molly watches him, nodding (Molly) I should imagine that was a very troubling prospect for you * @Morgan nods * Molly smiles (Molly) I must say though, some being in a rush would be most flattering (@Morgan) My desire has never waned, it was tempered by my concern * Molly nods (Molly) And now you have no need for concern * @Morgan nods (Molly) And so your desire...? * Molly watches his expression * @Morgan smiles slightly * Molly raises an eyebrow (Molly) You do not wish to tell me? (@Morgan) I'm not sure now is the right time blossom * Molly nods slowly (Molly) Another time then. Is there anything else you wished to discuss? (@Morgan) absolutely another time... * Molly smiles, picking up her coffee (Molly) We probably would not have long enough for what I would wish to do to you anyway * Molly sips it, watching his reaction over the rim (@Morgan) no? * @Morgan blushes * Molly smiles (Molly) Not if I am going to be as thorough as I would wish, no * @Morgan laughs * Molly smirks (Molly) I could probably manage a rushed job, but it would not be anywhere near as enjoyable (@Morgan) I would rather wait and spend hours exploring the sensations we can cause each other... * Molly blushes hard, surprised to have the teasing twisted back on her. She makes a quiet noise of both arousal and frustration, desire drawing her brows together (Molly) I would like that greatly, liebes herz * @Morgan nods * Molly squares her shoulders slightly before turning an arched brow on him. Her voice is low, quiet, playful (Molly) Tease me too much, liebes herz, and I shall be going to bed on my own... (@Morgan) Do that blossom, and I may just follow along and watch * Molly blushes hard again, biting her lip, off-guard (Molly) Y-... you would actually like that? * @Morgan nods * Molly looks surprised (Molly) But later... another time? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) probably best * Molly smiles (Molly) Then you had best not tease me, I think. I would hate to have to go against you wishes... (Molly) Your* (Molly) **She looks playful, teasing, rather than earnest * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) it would be a shame to be driven to that, wouldn't it * Molly fidgets, breathing changing in such a way that implies this would not be a shame in the slightest (Molly) It would be a lot of work on your part, liebes herz... (@Morgan) oh really? (Molly) I may not be Eisen, but perhaps I have a strong enough will to resist you from arousing me that far... * Molly 's expression of confidence looks very feigned (@Morgan) I'm not entirely sure I believe you on that blossom (Molly) No? And why is that? *She blushes further, down onto her cleavage. She watches him with wide pupils and eyes full of mischief, clearly enjoying the torment (@Morgan) Well, I'm thinking the imagery that would run rampant through your head would do most of the work for me, were you to imagine me kissing your thighs, for example * Molly has to close her eyes, breathing very slowly. He can clearly see that that has aroused her by the way her body trembles a moment (Molly) **Still with her eyes closed* It would be a blissful torment to be sure. But I think I can bear those thoughts, given how frequently they are my companions (@Morgan) But knowing I'm thinking of them, thinking how your skin would feel against my lips, taste... * Molly makes a soft moan, body shuddering. She opens her eyes looking at his expression * @Morgan is quite clearly full of lust, mixed with a slight smirk (Molly) That is my Achilles heel, definitely. My own desire is less arousing to me than yours * @Morgan nods * Molly concentrates a moment on just breathing slowly, deeply, trying to manage her reactions. It is the slight change in the set of her hips, almost a rhythmic tensing that really gives away the heat coursing through her * @Morgan smiles (@Morgan) having a little trouble there, blossom? (Molly) I am firmer in my control than you might imagine, liebes herz (@Morgan) Firmer, you say? * Molly blushes harder (Molly) Oh yes (@Morgan) like... harder, might you say * Molly blinks, making another noise full of lust (Molly) I might say harder... (@Morgan) I recall you've said that in the past, aye * @Morgan scratches his nose (@Morgan) said... more... whimpered really * Molly whimpers at that, breathing becoming shallower and more rapid (Molly) And... and that pleases you? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) greatly * Molly nods, assuming he is giving ground (Molly) Then that is what I shall have to do in retaliation, is it not? (@Morgan) I think you'll be too busy trying to fend off the _need_ to... * Molly watches him intently, eyes all over his gaze, very very clear that all she wishes to do is to take this man she desires to bed (Molly) Perhaps, perhaps my will is just too strong... (@Morgan) Then I suppose reminding you of the feeling of my mouth upon you will make no difference... the heat, the skin... the feeling of my tongue upon you * Molly shudders hard, her knuckles white as she tightly clenches her fists in the fabric on her thighs. It takes a great deal of effort to contain the moan that tries to escape her. She does not take her eyes from his face, and her expression betrays all of her nonchalance * @Morgan watches her intently (MollyK) Ah liebes herz, if only I could express to you just how much I want you (@Morgan) I do wonder if there's a way (MollyK) A way of what? * MollyK is still clearly struggling with the mass of desire she feels (@Morgan) expressing it... (MollyK) By sharing my feelings to you? (@Morgan) you mean.... (MollyK) Direct to your mind. You meant with my words? (@Morgan) or actions... * MollyK nods slowly, her fingers subconcioudly fidgetting with the folds of the dress in an undeniable expression of her needs * @Morgan watches her, finding his way to a seat (MollyK) I would think the parlour too risky... * MollyK is clearly using this as a yardstick of his opinions, rather than expressing her own * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) you're right * MollyK wets her lower lip with the tip of her tongue, breathing slow breaths through parted lips, valiantly fighting the desire to allow her hand to steal beneath her skirts under his gaze. It is a battle clearly read by someone as perceptive as him (MollyK) Unfortunately? (@Morgan) unfortunately? (MollyK) It is unfortunate, in your opinion? * MollyK watches his expression (@Morgan) Unless of course we move... * MollyK 's brows come together, nodding vigorously (MollyK) If you wish it? * @Morgan nods, standing and opening the bedroom door * MollyK brushes past him, purposefully grazing her hip against crotch, mischief in her eyes (MollyK) Then I shall trace the words with my fingers across my body, a sonnet of how deeply you arouse me... * @Morgan nods, following her in (MollyK) **There is a knock at the parlour door* * MollyK sighs frustratedly, looking at him forlornly (MollyK) Whoever it is, please shoot them. * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) it can be arranged (MollyK) If you will excuse me, I am going to scream into a pillow about the sheer unfairness of it all! * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I'm going to go and hit someone * MollyK presses a brief kiss to his mouth before flopping face down on the bed with a groan
