((seams like it.))

(( I think everyone is just really busy with school, has computer problems or is avoiding Mene. I know that's what Zelda's been doing. And I've been trying on cutting back on my online hours. XP ))

[no idea....im waiting for zen or sam to answer~ but yeah i think it did~]

((Darn, and here I thought I could probably get a nice long-term RP here...Too bad.))

(I've been waiting for Zelda to answer but ok))
Sam shook his head. "let's wait for Rin," he said uncertainly.

Justin rolled his eyes,"Go get her so we can go, the sooner we leave, the less chance we'll run into more foes."

Sam snorted and made a show of rolling his eyes longer. "Please, if anything is going to get us caught, it'd be her," he said, pointing to Ink who was somehow flying thirty some feet up in the air. "As if that won't attract anyone's attention. Any other senior citizen here'll have a heart attack if they see Ink. Better call her down."
(k, I'll go notify gloomy)

Justin raised an eyebrow,"She's there to destroy any enemies from the air," Justin turned on the car,"Besides, can't Ink turn invisible?"

((ARGHHHHHHHH SORRRRRRRRY GUYS, I WAS FAILING THREE CLASSES SO I WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT MY SCHOOL WORK, SO WHAT IS GOING ON, DON'T HATE ME))

[HATE! :3 Zen, Sam, and Justin are in Justin's car right now, Ink is flying somewhere above them!]

((Annnd Reaver and Ludwik are still with Tellyah. Which I haven't seen Reaver for awhile now so he might have quit.))

((Busy day D: ))

Lolth looked at some of the delicate lacey things that litter the store. She had never seen such things before. She touched a black nightie that barely covered anything. She smiled thinking how lovely Ebony would look in such a thing. She picked it up from the rack and held it up. "What do you think of this?" She asked her campanion.

"Well this seems to be just a lot of bickering..." Reaver murmers, he had been silent, listening and observing the two communicate back and forth. He hadn't even gone so far as to answer the question that she had asked him. He was growing quite bored of simply standing around and wasting such time, and the sudden thought of something that needed to be done had crossed his mind. "It seems you two are getting along well enough, though I am afraid I may need to leave momentarily for a small purpose of my own, that needs to be fulfilled. I expect the two of you will get along decently enough that I will not need to come back and pull one of you to pieces?" He says, with a slowly raised eyebrow as he looks from one to the other for a moment, his gaze slowly sweeping onto Tellyah as he raises a hand without any real purpose at first. "Select a weapon. Preferably a bladed one, that you would figure yourself adept with manipulating and using.." He says with a small smirk sweeping across his face, it wasn't clear exactly what he was planning, but it would be revealed soon enough.

[(Forgive my late replies.
My laptop's logic board fried, so I have very little internet access anymore. I'll try to reply as much as I can, considering, but I'm not sure how frequent my posts will be. I will aim for once every weekday. But at this time I am supposed to be doing classwork on an online course in school; that is more important because I am behind in it as of now.
So as it stands; forgive my lateness.)]

Tellyah shot to her feet. "You're leaving me with him?" she said, glaring at Reaver, and pointing to Ludwik. She groaned and crossed her arms. "This is so stupid." she muttered under her breath. After a moment, she returned Reaver's smile and laughed. "I promise not to hurt him too bad." Because it was in her nature, she gave Reaver a hug and kissed his cheek. "Come back in one piece, okay?" there was a sadness in her voice that she had failed to hide. She took a few steps back, and felt a cool breeze rustle her hair. She lifted up her hand and formed a ball of water, then she turned it into a clear ball of ice - it was about the size of a softball. She knelt down and set it on a stump. The sun shone down on it and she said, not taking her eyes off of it, "You have till this melt completely to return." she looked Reaver in the eye, "If you don't return by then, I'm coming after you." she smiled. I can play your games Reaver. You know I'm not a patient person. She shifted, looking through her eye lashes towards Ludwik. And there is no way I trust him.

((Reaver, I'm not using the Ice ball as a real timer - seeing that Tellyah can just keep it frozen. Take your time, don't feel too pressured by us. xp))

At the same time Tellyah yelled 'You're leaving me with him', Ludwik said outloud with a smile to Reaver, "You're leaving me with her?" He clapped his hands together, "Oh this is going to be so fun~ Oh yes it is~!"

Ludwik was going to make a comment back about Tellyah hurting him, but then he noticed her hug, kiss, and her sadness that Reaver was leaving. He scratched his head and sighed for a moment, thinking that are these Ring-bearers that easy to manipulate. He heard rumors about their life, how they lived some terrible times. Maybe all of the ring-bearers are looking for someone to care for them. To be loved.

"Oh dear Reaver," Ludwik spoke out to him, "Not to worry at all. I'll take care of the young Ring-bearer till you come back and sweep her off her feet and go away to whatever plan you have in your little head. Your secret is safe in here." Ludwik poked at his head.

Ludwik then noticed the glare that was coming out of Tellyah. Clearly the sign of, 'I don't trust you one bit...'. In response he smiled back to her, "Let's get along, shall we my dear Tellyah?"

Tellyah stood slowly, and looked at Ludwik. "Did you want a hug too?" she laughed, and walked to stand a few feet in front of him - mirroring the scene that had happened only moments before Reaver had spoken. She stepped closer and hesitantly reached out to set her hand on his shoulder. I'm going to have to trust him. No matter how much of a shady person he appears to be. "Darling Ludwik." she said in a soft, sweet voice. "I do believe you are jealous for no reason. If you did your research, as I assume you did, you would know that I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. At least, out of the ordinary for me." She blinked and stepped closer, so their thighs touched slightly, she slide her other hand around his neck and caught the opposite wrist. Her hands now linked behind his head, she squeezed him lightly - a quick, simple hug. Without letting her hands drop, she placed a kiss on his cheek. She stood still for a moment, then unlinked her hands and stepped back. She kept her eyes on the ground, as if waiting to be scolded.

"Me? Jealous? You're so funny! Why would I-" Then all of a sudden Tellyah hugged and kissed Ludwik on the cheek. He didn't seem to move after that but his face looked stuck with a smile for a moment. It's been a while since he's had physical contact with anyone since he acts wicked to everyone around him, but it's been a while since he's been hugged or greeted with a kiss. Where Ludwik use to live, people would sometimes do that all the time. And that was the last place he thought anyone would greet someone like that...

Finally snapping out of it, his smile widen as he stepped forward to Tellyah, "Well, well, formal aren't you dear Tellyah." He then gently reached down to her right hand and lifted it up to his chest, "I believe we'll be good friends in no time, hmm?" He then kissed the top of her hand lightly to respond back to her greet. Letting her hand go, looked over at Reaver once more, "Dear Reaver. Safe trip and be back soon. You'll find us at my usual locations if you wish to see her once more."

"Come dear child!" Ludwik said as he spun around, "Let's head off out of this place. As much as I adore nature's beauty I think it's time we get ourselves something to eat!"

"Friends. Yes, I suppose." Tellyah said with a smile. She stepped forward to follow Ludwik, then stopped and cast a glance back at Reaver. "Don't take too long. I'm not sure if I'll be able to deal with him for more than..." she trailed off, then added hastily, "Just hurry, okay?" She bit her tongue - literally - and drew a small amount of blood; something she had learned at The Factory. I really need to learn to hold my tongue. She shook her head and turned back to follow Ludwik. She matched his long strides easily. "How are we leaving here?" she asked. "Reaver he - no, you'd never believe me. Anyway, I don't even know where we are." She looked him over as they walked. He, like Reaver, was good-looking. Why is it all the good-looking people are bad guys? She laughed out loud, then stopped. She looked down and saw that she was still only wearing her one-piece swim suit. She looked around, but could not find her dress - or her wallet. "Damn it." she muttered, and walked to catch up with Ludwik. It seems that I don't exist anymore. Like I ever did.

"You're so mean~" Ludwik called out to her comment about being with him, "I guess you don't want to eat anything do you?" He chuckled at himself.

The two walked for a bit until the tree began to become less dense and the land became more roomy. Then in front there was a seal like sign on the ground. The ritual symbol was wide enough to have three people to stand in it.

"Here's our ride!" Ludwik said as he guided Tellyah over the symbol. He then took a good look at Tellyah and realized that the clothes that she's wearing are not the proper outfit to wear outdoors. "Haha," He laughed at her for a sec, "Silly goose, you forgot your spare clothes? Well, not to worry! Let's start our friendship by taking you out to eat and get some new clothes for you, hmm? Sounds lovely doesn't it?"

Tellyah was a little skeptic about their "ride", as Ludwik had put it. "Spare clothes?" she said and laughed, "It's not like I packed for a trip, Ludwik. Reaver showed up at the house, for certain reasons I decided to go with him; one minute I was in the house, the next I was here." She spread her arms wide in a circular motion. While she enjoyed the surrounding nature, she didn't like the claustrophobic feel it gave her. She looked at the symbol again, and curiosity got the better of her, "What is this anyway?" She looked back up at him, "And why are you being do kind to me?"

"This is our ride," Ludwik answered back as he pulled out two cards from his pocket, "I told you this didn't I? Also, am I not allowed to be generous?"

With the two standing on the symbol, Ludwik then threw the two cards on the opposite sides from each other, right now the borderline on the symbol. Ludwik then clapped his hands together, "You might want to hang out to something~" and suddenly the two cards grew and turned into a stone wall. The walls then twisted and turn to shape into two cup like shapes and clashed together with Ludwik and Tellyah in it. Then the two combined walls began to descend underground at a speed where it was hard for the two users to maintain their balance; well expect for Ludwik since he's getting the hang of it.

"This will take a minute~!" Ludwik yelled at Tellyah, trying to overcome the loud scraping noise that was heard outside the little pod.

Tellyah swung her arms around Ludwik's neck and pressed her face into his chest to muffle her surprised scream. Her heart beat increased as her panic rose. "Earth?" she said loudly, still clinging to him. Of course you idiot. she thought. She had thought he was a darkness user, light Zen was. As the ground moved underneath them, her stomach clenched and heaved - she had never been one to ride roller coasters; she had a weak stomach. She thanked God that she hadn't eaten in a few days. She coughed to cover up the pain she felt. "Where are we going anyway?" she asked between heaves.

(Lol. It's ok Zelda, midterms are approaching. Can u answer the pm I sent?)

Sam nodded, his eyes went wide for a split second before resuming a poker face. Ink had only discovered her powers yesterday and yet this stranger already knew a skill that she was capable of? Wait, not only that, Ink also knew what Justin was capable of as well. Panic seized Sam and he glanced up at Ink's floating figure before letting his gaze fall upon the door. The windows were already rolled down and the door unlocked and his fingers twitched with the urge to get out of the vehicle and run as far away as possible from this possibly deadly driver. Who knows what else they might be hiding from him..Biting his lip, Sam laced his fingers together and looked out ahead to avoid meeting eye contact with Justin. "How is it you two know about the elements before Ink was kidnapped here?" he inquired "Are you with those guys who killed this old guy yesterday?"

Justin snorted,"No way," He put his hands behind his head,"Ink usually has some sort of machine that does stuff like that, like a terrorist or something..."
"I heard that!" Ink somehow got control of radio waves and was talking to them over the radio.
"Errr, no you didn't!" Justin replied nervously.

"Yyyyyeeesss~" Ludwik answered back while the pod was still shaking, "What? Did you think I used darkness? Haha, everyone always thinks that. I wonder whhhhyyyyy~"

The pod then started to get less rough but still going at a fast speed. Their destination was close. "Annnnnnnnd, we're here!" As soon as he said 'here' the pod immediately stopped moving. The pod then began to split open and descend into the ground, releasing Ludwik and Tellyah out of it. The two walls then turned into the cards he threw down early and the symbol that they were on was still under their feet.

The room that they appeared in seemed small, big enough to only have two people to live in. It had one bed, one closet, etc... a room that seemed fit for someone that was traveling.

"Welcome to my hotel room," Ludwik said as he took Tellyah's grasp off of him, "you don't look so well so why don't you just sit here for a moment." Ludwik carefull guided the sick-looking Tellyah to a bed and let her sit down.
