==Summary==

During the preparations for dealing with Willem and saving the plane, [[Sendhel]] arrives to sound them out about their plans and Willem's intentions. After, Xan and Justen pray to Emkathon and Kavreshar for the sake of the inhabitants of the dream plane.

==Session==
: Session date:
: Diablotin date:

* Ruchard and Kalman are chatting when you get back
* Kalman looks to you as you return to the room
[Kalman] Is everything all right?
[Xandhil] As far as things go, yes
* Justen nods as well
[Kalman] Well, while we wait for Cesar, perhaps we ought to have something to eat. You must be hungry.
[Xandhil] oh, thanks
* Kalman will call for a light meal to be served
[Diablotin_Narrator] As the staff bring in some simple food (bread, cheese, fruit, etc.) Cesar will finally make his reappearance. He looks a bit out of breath and disheveled.
* Ruchard is now known as Cesar
[Xandhil] is everything alright out there?
[Cesar] I'm back - sorry it took so long.
* Kalman also rises to go check on Cesar
[Cesar] Oh, well, things got a bit crazy at the arena when they had to announce the change of plans.
[Xandhil] ahh, right
[Cesar] I'm all right. Mostly I got held up by running into, uh, an old friend.
* Kalman gives him a bit of an 'oh really' look as he's inspecting him to make sure he's not hurt or anything.
* Xandhil represses a smirk
[Kalman] Did your old friend have anything useful to say?
* Kalman asks mildly
[Cesar] Well... I asked if he could find out anything about what du Champe might be doing with Willem, or anything about that. It's a long shot, but he does know a lot of people.
[Cesar] I mean, I tried to be more subtle than that. I just told him what I'd heard about why the bout was cancelled and let him go from there.
* Kalman nods
[Xandhil] that would be good to know
[Cesar] Yeah... It's odd that du Champe would take personal custody of a prisoner like that. If the council wanted to hold him, they can do that, obviously, but it's weird for one of them to get directly involved like that.
* Cesar sits down to join in with the food, then notices that Ruchard is there
[Cesar] Oh. Uh, hello.
* Kalman introduces them
[Xandhil] we've been working on a plan, for the moment
[Kalman] We were waiting for you before formulating our efforts, yes.
* Xandhil nods
[Xandhil] We need to get into the palace
[Xandhil] and take control of the center of the dream
* Cesar listens, while also stuffing some food into his mouth
[Cesar] So when you say take control, we need to hold it for.. how long?
[Ruchard] Hopefully not very long. A quarter hour, maybe?
[Xandhil] but we don't know if Willem might have anyone there already
* Cesar nods
[Cesar] So we should be ready for a fight?
[Xandhil] yes
[Xandhil] This is why we were waiting for you ].]
[Cesar] okay
* Cesar smiles at that
[Xandhil] hopefully we won't find one, but I don't want to bank on it.
* Cesar nods
[Cesar] Are we going soon?
[Xandhil] I think sooner is better, yes
[Cesar] All right.
[Xandhil] unless you think your friend is likely to turn up any useful information
[Cesar] I don't know... he might, but I don't know that we should rely on him.
[Cesar] I asked him to stop by if he wanted...
* Cesar says with a bit of a Look exchanged with Kalman
* Ruchard is now known as Kalman
* Kalman shrugs, but nods
* Xandhil glances between them
[Cesar] I didn't know we were making other plans at that point ;)
[Kalman] Well, he can hardly be offended if he arrives and we've gone out somewhere else.
* Kalman says, somewhat dryly
[Cesar] Well, he could be ... but I'd make it up to him another time.
[Kalman] Mm.
[Diablotin_Narrator] "There are things you should know before you enter the palace," says an ethereal voice.
* Justen sort of jumps, but Kalman just sighs and Cesar looks around with a smile.
* Mother_Alma makes her appearance
* Xandhil starts a bit as well
* Xandhil eyes her
[Cesar] What did you find out?
* Cesar asks her
* Cesar is the only one to seem totally unperturbed by her
[Mother_Alma] The girl, Channel, is indeed hidden with Char. They have ways beneath the palace, into the palace...
[Cesar] So are they in this... what's it called, center of the dream?
* Xandhil nods, having expected all that
[Mother_Alma] Not yet. They have not yet found a way past its defenses - at least, not that both of them can pass through.
[Xandhil] is it just the two of them?
[Mother_Alma] The girl's mother is not with them, but her little minion comes and goes, delivering communcations.
* Xandhil nods
[Cesar] What are the defenses? Are we going to be able to get in there?
[Mother_Alma] With my assistance, you can.
* Cesar nods, but Kalman looks a bit wary at that.
[Xandhil] ...how do you mean?
* Mother_Alma turns her masked face to you
[Xandhil] @_@
[Xandhil] ...
[Mother_Alma] I can pass without harm through wards and spells and defenses - there is little they can do to me. And I can assist you by means of Owl's power to pass safely as well.
[Xandhil] ...thank you @_@
* Mother_Alma tilts her head in a gesture of acknowledgement of your thanks
[Cesar] Yes, thank you
* Mother_Alma turns her attention to Ruchard
[Mother_Alma] You - the sleeping king.
[Ruchard] I'm neither, now.
* Ruchard says, but respectfully
[Mother_Alma] Do you believe you can restore this world to its former stability?
[Ruchard] For the time being. Hopefully long enough.
[Mother_Alma] But not indefinitely.
[Ruchard] ...No.
[Mother_Alma] Can you do what the sleeping queen could not, and eject the shard of void from this realm?
* Ruchard looks momentarily puzzled
[Xandhil] ...is that what's causing the erosion?
[Xandhil] or at least, the faster erosion?
[Ruchard] I... don't know.
[Ruchard] It could be.
* Ruchard nods
[Xandhil] hmm
[Ruchard] If it wasn't sufficiently sealed off, perhaps.
[Ruchard] I'll try to see what I can do.
[Ruchard] assuming we even get to that point.
* Xandhil nods
[Xandhil] do we know where it is?
* Xandhil remembers reading about it
[Mother_Alma] The queen took it and concealed it, wrapping it to prevent it falling into the wrong hands.
* Xandhil nods
[Xandhil] ...How do you know about it?
[Ruchard] I think once I get to the heart of the dream, I'll be able to sense where it is - at least, if it's ... leaking, somehow. But probably even if it's not. Something that powerful...
[Mother_Alma] Through my communion with Owl.
* Xandhil nods to both
* Xandhil has probably heard that from Regular Reverend Mother Alma enough to accept it as an answer ].]
[Xandhil] Hopefully we can figure out what to do with it, one way or another
* Ruchard nods
[Diablotin_Narrator] Someone knocks at the door, and Mother Alma fades from sight (but possibly not leaving entirely...)
* Mother_Alma is now known as Kalman
[Kalman] Come in.
[Diablotin_Narrator] A servant enters. "Master Sendhel is here," he announces.
* Kalman glances at the rest of you, maybe particularly focusing on you for a moment, Xan.
[Kalman] Is this a good time?
* Xandhil raises his eyebrows
[Cesar] Maybe he has some news...
* Cesar looks hopeful
[Xandhil] Uh... I think if that's a possibility it would be good to know more
[Xandhil] and hopefully we can extricate relatively quickly otherwise?
* Kalman nods
[Kalman] Very well. Show him in.
* Cesar sort of glances around once the servant's gone
[Cesar] Alma, you probably don't want to stick around for this - can you come back in ... an hour or so?
* Cesar says to the air
[Diablotin_Narrator] There is what sounds sort of like a sigh, and then a sense that the air is less heavy, or like you're not being watched by invisible eyes anymore - presumably she's gone.
[Cesar] Uh, she doesn't like Sen.
* Cesar explains to you and Justen
* Xandhil nods
[Cesar] Mostly managed to come to terms with things, but .. I don't wanna have any problems break out right now.
* Xandhil 's eyebrows go up again, but opts not to pry atm ].]
[Xandhil] . o O (things, eh? ].])
[Sendhel] Problems?
* Sendhel says from the doorway with a smirk.
[Sendhel] I hope it's nothing serious.
[Cesar] Oh... no. Thank you for coming...
* Sendhel casts his gaze (more of a leer, really) over the assembled group.
* Xandhil tries to seem only a reasonable amount of curious and not any real concern
[Sendhel] You didn't tell me it was more than an... intimate gathering, darling.
[Kalman] Purely business.
[Sendhel] Oh? What 'business' is this?
[Sendhel] And with such fetching business associates ;)
* Sendhel says with a smile
[Cesar] If it works out, I promise I'll tell you all about it.
* Sendhel looks intrigued
[Kalman] Some refreshments?
* Kalman offers him, and gestures for him to take a seat if he wishes
* Sendhel takes the seat, but not the food.
[Sendhel] Will you at least introduce me to your... business partners?
* Kalman glances over to you
[Kalman] Sendhel, this is Xan, Justen, and Ruchard.
* Kalman says after a moment's hesitation
* Kalman can't help being polite -_-
* Sendhel looks at each of you in turn - you're not sure where his gaze lingers longest, he certainly takes a good long look at you, but also at the others.
[Sendhel] A pleasure to meet you.
[Justen] Nice to meet you too.
* Xandhil nods
[Sendhel] (Ruchard also greets him but I don't have enough windows ;)
[Xandhil] (hee, fair)
[Sendhel] Well - I must admit I'm intrigued ^-^
[Sendhel] Mysterious business indeed.
[Sendhel] How can I possibly be of assistance?
[Cesar] Well... have you heard anything more about the situation with Father Willem?
* Cesar asks carefully
[Sendhel] Since you asked so nicely, darling, I did inquire with my dear friend on the council whether she knew anything of the matter.
[Kalman] With Pheria?
[Xandhil] . o O (D: This keeps getting better @_@)
[Sendhel] I don't have any other dear friends on the council, now, do I? At best, I have other ...acquaintances ;)
[Sendhel] Getting a direct answer out of her is sometimes a challenge
[Sendhel] But my impression is that they have no intention of permitting him to go without punishment. If it's not to be a public spectacle, then it will be a more subdued affair.
[Sendhel] A simple walk through the Arch, say.
* Kalman looks concerned at that
[Xandhil] ...
[Xandhil] that's a terrible idea @_@
[Sendhel] Well, I think so too, darling. The arena would have been a much better show.
[Cesar] ...yes.
[Cesar] Would it really be appropriate to send such a criminal to the Arch? Um... it might be sort of disrespectful as an offering, wouldn't it?
[Sendhel] I'm not a theologian, darling, I don't know. If the Arch doesn't want him it can spit him back out I suppose.
* Xandhil glances at Justen, and tries to remember what we know about the arch here
[Xandhil] Do you know when they are planning this?
[Sendhel] That, I'm afraid I don't know.
[Cesar] It would be better if they just cut his throat in a back room somewhere, with no witnesses at all.
[Sendhel] You're so cute when you're bloodthirsty.
* Kalman rolls his eyes slightly
[Xandhil] . o O (true though.... about the throat slitting ].])
[Kalman] Whatever audience they give him, he's going to take advantage of it.
[Sendhel] So he shouts some slogans to whatever pathetic little crowd might be there?
[Kalman] We don't know. He's not limited to slogans.
[Xandhil] . o O ( he's fishing ].] )
[Sendhel] Well, they're not going to let him get away.
* Sendhel says idly
[Xandhil] . o O (don't take the bait - he doesn't want to get away though ].])
[Xandhil] of course not.
* Xandhil agrees
[Kalman] Just try to imagine, for a moment, what the worst is he could do. Then go further than that. He's a mass murderer, he won't stop at speech-making.
[Sendhel] Are you suggesting you don't trust our esteemed council to control him?
* Sendhel teases
[Kalman] No, of course not.
* Xandhil eyes Kalman
* Kalman 's expression remains impassive
* Sendhel laughs
[Sendhel] No, of course not.
* Sendhel echoes him
[Xandhil] Anyway...
[Xandhil] It's good to have some idea what they're going to do with him, even if there's no chance to see if in person.
* Kalman nods
[Kalman] Thank you for your assistance.
[Sendhel] Oh, it was nothing - well, nothing you can't pay me back for.
* Sendhel says with a sly smile
[Cesar] Yes, thank you.
[Cesar] We do have to ... uh, tend to our business plans. But... can I see you out?
[Sendhel] Always, darling. Always.
* Cesar exchanges a brief look and a nod with Kalman, and then rises to show Sendhel out.
[Sendhel] A pleasure to meet you.... I have the nagging feeling we've met before.
* Sendhel says to you on his way out.
* Xandhil shakes his head
[Xandhil] i'm afraid not.
[Sendhel] Perhaps I'd recognize you better with fewer clothes ;)
[Xandhil] I think you would definitely remember that
[Sendhel] Oh, I'm sure it would be indelibly engraved in my memory.
* Sendhel gives you a wink and departs with Cesar
* Kalman gives a bit of a sigh and sinks back in his chair once Sen is safely gone.
[Xandhil] well... that was.... something o_O
[Kalman] He's something, yes.
[Ruchard] Sending Willem through the Arch would be ... a terrible idea, like you said.
* Ruchard seems less preoccupied with Sen's shenanigans and more with that point @_@
[Xandhil] yes
[Xandhil] I don't even entirely know what it would mean here but.... it would be bad @_@
* Xandhil wonders what it would do to the chancellor back home @_@
[Ruchard] At all costs, we should try to avoid that
[Ruchard] even if it does mean, ah, slitting his throat in a back room, so to speak.
* Xandhil nods
[Xandhil] right
[Xandhil] we should get going then, as soon as possible?
[Ruchard] Yes, as soon as Cesar's sister is back, I think.
[Ruchard] Well, and Cesar too, of course.
[Justen] I guess I'll get my gear, then.
* Justen says with a glance at you
* Xandhil nods
[Xandhil] me too
[Xandhil] we should meet back here?
[Kalman] Yes - I'll gather some supplies as well.
[Xandhil] okay
* Ruchard doesn't have anything to gather, but he'll just chill for a bit ;)
* Justen will go with you to your room, then
[Justen] ... how are you doing? I mean with... you know. the Sendhel thing.
* Justen asks once you're safely out of earshot of people
[Xandhil] um, okay
[Xandhil] Glad there were lots of people around
[Justen] not too weirded out?
[Xandhil] No.
* Justen nods
[Xandhil] I think if I'd had to deal with him on my own it would have been different
[Xandhil] but there were other things to distract him and I have other things to worry about.
[Justen] yeah...
* Justen squeezes your hand anyway
* Xandhil smiles and gives him a kiss
[Justen] he and Cesar kind of have a thing, I guess? I'm not really sure of the details of what's going on there.
[Xandhil] yeah me either
[Xandhil] for some reason, my father didn't elaborate on all of that :p
[Justen] heh
[Justen] I was going to ask, did I miss something juicy in those notes? ;)
[Xandhil] I don't think it is the sort of thing he would have written about @_@
[Justen] yeah...
[Xandhil] liker, I knew he had something to do with Cesar coming to, uh, work for Kalman
[Xandhil] but nothing 'juicy' ;p
[Xandhil] and I'm totally okay with that @_@
[Xandhil] anyway
[Xandhil] I'm fine
[Xandhil] how are you?
[Justen] Okay... I mean, kind of anxious about this plan.
[Xandhil] still want to try praying?
* Xandhil nods
[Justen] ...yeah.
[Xandhil] yeah, there isn't a whole lot to it - the plan I mean - but there's not a lot more we can do
* Xandhil squeezes his hand
[Xandhil] when?
[Xandhil] like... do we pre-pray? or just go for it at the time?
[Xandhil] both?
[Justen] I really have no idea @_@
[Xandhil] maybe both, to hedge out bets :p
[Justen] I guess it can't hurt to pre-pray...
* Justen says a bit uncertainly
[Xandhil] let them know we're out here?
[Justen] yeah
[Xandhil] do you remember when were were in Am?
* Justen nods
[Xandhil] After I'd been ..hurt
* Xandhil takes his hands
* Justen holds yours tightly
[Xandhil] Maybe we should pray like that?
* Justen nods slowly, smiling
[Justen] make a circle with me?
* Xandhil nods
[Justen] . o O (Please)
[Xandhil] . o O (Please if you can hear us, Emkathon - we're here, and this place needs mercy)
[Justen] . o O (Please... for justice, Father, if you're listening - this isn't their fault, they don't deserve this punishment)
* Justen 's hot, burning energy surges through you, feeding in a loop that you've created
[Xandhil] (yes.. let us...help)
[Xandhil] (help us)
* Justen 's mouth is yours, and your cock is his, and you can feel everything from both sides of the circle
* Xandhil feels is burn though him, sending it back out, sending out more of himself to make more room for justen, in his mouth, in his core...
* Justen writhes and arches and you know it won't be long, not with this power flowing through you both
* Xandhil squirms with him, letting this carry him as far as it can @_@
[Xandhil] . o O (this, forever this @_@)
[Justen] . o O (open to you, for you, for anything, please)
[Xandhil] . o O (Please)
* Justen 's thoughts seem to pass through your mind like lightning- you can tell they're not yours, but they feel so familiar, so right
* Justen struggles to grasp something that's beyond him - maybe that's beyond anyone
* Xandhil tries to...help?
* Xandhil lends him his energy, and strength, we're so close, almost one...
* Justen seems to grasp it just for a instant before his mind trembles and lets go, flooding you, your mouth, your mind, with himself
* Xandhil is released as well @_@
[Justen] t-that.. gods @_@
* Justen manages to choke out
[Xandhil] un huh
* Xandhil squirms around and limpets
* Justen is just as clingy for once
[Xandhil] you okay?
* Xandhil manages after a moment
* Justen nods
[Xandhil] I think they heard us @_@
[Justen] yeah... I thought I could hear them too.
* Xandhil nods
[Justen] but I don't know what... what it means, or...
[Xandhil] we'll see
* Justen nods
[Xandhil] I love you
[Justen] I love you too
* Xandhil is still panting
* Justen buries his face in your shoulder and holds on tight
* Xandhil kisses his neck
[Xandhil] We have to get going though
* Xandhil says, not actually loosening his grip any
* Justen nods, a bit reluctantly
[Justen] I guess we'll probably have to pray some other way in the middle of things, if we need to...
[Xandhil] we can improvise
[Justen] folks might find it distracting otherwise ;)
[Xandhil] i bet they wouldn't complain
[Xandhil] well
[Xandhil] maybe Ruchard
[Xandhil] and Alma
[Justen] heh
[Justen] definitely Alma
* Justen gives you more kisses
* Xandhil kisses back, slowly easing himself more apart
* Justen stretches tight muscles, gradually de-limpeting from you
[Xandhil] limp on out to meet the others?
[Xandhil] ...Well they probably aren't wondering too hard at what's keeping us ].]
* Justen nods
* Xandhil will grab his things
[Justen] hey we might still make it back before Cesar, who knows ;)
* Xandhil savours the lingering burning sensation in his lips
[Xandhil] heh
[Xandhil] maybe
* Justen gets himself pantsed again and then into his armor
* Xandhil helps
* Xandhil shimmies into his chain shirt as well
[Justen] ... you have the amulet too?
[Xandhil] yes
[Xandhil] just in case
* Justen nods
* Justen grabs his weapon and is ready to go, then @_@
