Alright. *sighs* I better be back for my cooking class this week though.

I was going to go help DarK with the vamp problems too. Maybe I can still make it there if I leave immediately. I'll arrive within two hours.

The orange dufflebag will be making an appearance.

Welcome to The Appocalypse Bert, glad you were invited.

So, now that we know who the seven are, let's go kick some unholy ass back to the Hell that spawned it.

We shall endevor to keep this short Bert. Welcome to the Party you had to see this coming thou, the end of the world comes around need to call the Turtle. :lol:

You seem to be at most of these events.

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:00 am

The only reason I show up to most of them is because KT and/or Holister do and they both have families. I always support a family man.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:07 am

Can't argue with that logic, and wouldn't.

Ok…so as soon as I step outside the mansion and link up with the Greybeard satellite, all kinds of data and notes come streaming in from Fate. He’s made it to his first stop and it looks like he found some interesting stuff. I’m relying it to our new HQ for analysis.

As far as the mansion goes, I’m glade something’s never learn to dodge shotgun blasts. I swear it’s the only weapon that works on everything. I think we’re about ready to head back in. Hold on Tony, we’re on our way.

The things Ive seen, the things I now know. Sigh, why does it always work like this, I get my greatest wish, an dcant put any of it into print to see publication?

Nothing in there seems to take much notice of me, with a few welcome exceptions. I am going back in to get to work at rebuilding the seal, or at least what little of that I can do, I can draw the images, but I can do nothing to power them.

Shang Li · Post by **Shang Li** » Fri May 04, 2007 9:28 am

NAKAMURA KEI, What do you think you are doing here, you are not dead yet.

I still have a little time to spend here before I get another chance to do it all right, I had too much baggage when I found my path and was not able to let it all go.

I will help against those who try to open the seal from this side.

Mr. Caliburn, I will watch over Ms. Hannah while she is here.

Mr. Hollister, I trust things have been take care of on your side, do enjoy the tea.

Ms. Hannah, you no longer needed help in learning how to think for yourself, I too however, miss our conversations (they brightened my days a great deal).

Mr. Turtle, it is another situation like the one I encountered - the seal must be made inacessable, without being destroyed. You have my thanks for keeping my fate from having had been in vain.

To all of the rest of you, Keep up the great fight, and I bring you news, Mr. Lazlo is not here, take comfort in that for it means that either he was bhuddist, or he is not dead.

It is not a threat, unless you make it one, just remember as you go about your business. We are watching you all.

Now pardon me for a bit, I have to go and stop something from coming through the pinholes someone keeps opening that makes this communication possible.

Will you please hurry up so a tired old man can get back to his rest?

Uhhhhh.....Master Li's ghost?

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Fri May 04, 2007 10:19 am

We're on the way - explanations to follow.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Fri May 04, 2007 11:08 am

Yes Shang Li"s Ghost. I am unsure how I feel about that, and moreso if we find others? It could confirm our worst fears, but at least we would know.
Ron? ("We're on the way") I understand you wouldn't let Hannah come alone, but who is driving, and what changed your mind?

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Fri May 04, 2007 11:23 am

Shang Li, well, this confirms the fact that you've passed but its still good to hear from you again.

I've been here for several hours setting up equipment and unloading things from my Stationwagon and trying to figure out what'll work on what in there.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:18 pm

I'm well enough to drive, just not in shape for a fight.

Hannah told me we were going.

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Fri May 04, 2007 3:03 pm

I have some Hannah-sized armor for her if she wants it.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Fri May 04, 2007 3:28 pm

May be a good idea.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:39 pm

She's already got her own.

Her Pa does know how to build this sort of stuff.

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:44 pm

True, but being incapacitated as soon as you were after rejoining Hannah I thought it prudent to put together some for her myself in case you haven't been able to.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:49 pm

My hands have been fine the whole time.

Uhm . . . how did you get her measurements?

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:50 pm

I was there when we rescued her. I just eyeballed it. Can't get a great fit that way, but I knew you could do alterations later.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:53 pm

Bert, Fathers worldwide get nervous when they hear about you eyeballing their daughters.

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:59 pm

Ron, be at ease, I only have eyes for one particular lady.

Hannah · Post by **Hannah** » Fri May 04, 2007 5:00 pm

Hi Everyone,

Lastnight, I was told I had to go. So Pa is bringing me.

I am glad to hear Shang Li, maybe we will get the chance to talk more before this is over. Is it what you expected there?

Hannah.

PS: We would be there sooner, but it takes a while at the rest stops because I have to show the cook how to make a good liquid meal for Pa.

Haha, smartass.

Bad news. Josh is down for the night. He suffered some kind of mental or nervous breakdown.

We're taking care of him even now. I'll let everyone know how he's doing as news develops...

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Sat May 05, 2007 12:20 am

It was terrible. I don't know why it happened, but KT just... lost it.

He was throwing things and screaming and swearing. If what he threw didn't break it just pissed him off more. After he had spent all of his rage he just curled up in a ball in a corner and wept.

I didn't know what to do for him. I just sat down beside him and held him for awhile til he seemed like he passed out.

fate · Post by **fate** » Sat May 05, 2007 4:38 am

Guy’s I’m running out of bullets and the house is NOT running out of demons and the like. What’s the plan? I need to know what going on and soon.

Koralth · Post by **Koralth** » Sat May 05, 2007 5:55 am

now, wait a minute, *ahem* Tony, that sounds like a *ahem* bad idea to me! I only took a several day course with Bert, on things like this, but *ahem* letting in bad spirits is never a good idea! I may be misunderstanding what you're saying, but hold on, wait for someone else to help you out.

fate · Post by **fate** » Sat May 05, 2007 8:16 am

I’ll be headed to this mansion since everyone seems to be congregating there. I’ll be relieving Agent Godhand, I hope he’s been useful. I’ll be there in five hours give or take a few.

KonThaak · Post by **KonThaak** » Sat May 05, 2007 8:25 am

The sun is sleeping quietly,
Once upon a century,
Wistful oceans calm and red,
Ardent caresses laid to rest...
For my dreams I hold my life,
For wishes I behold my nights,
A truth at the end of time,
Losing faith makes a crime...

I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time.
The darkness around me - shores of a solar sea...
Oh, how I wish to go down with the sun...
Sleeping, weeping, with you...

Sorrow has a human heart,
From my God it will depart,
I'd sail before a thousand moons,
Never finding where to go...
Two hundred twenty two days of light
Will be desired by a night,
A moment for the poet's play,
Until there's nothing left to say...

I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time.
The darkness around me - shores of a solar sea...
Oh, how I wish to go down with the sun...
Sleeping...weeping...with you...
