April 8th - The Road to Tir na Nog

by **Talos** » Wed Sep 29, 2010 8:54 pm

"I'll try to resist the urge to skip if you do."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Sep 29, 2010 9:51 pm

Stan got out, wary of the situation.

Looking back to Talos for a moment, he entered the village.

And, as if he had walked into an invisible bank of fog, Stan vanished from all of Talos' sensors.

When people start leaving the vehicles and start entering the village the circles the figure is flying grow smaller as she goes in for a landing, gently touching down in front of the group.

"I had seen it but I almost didn't dare believe it..." Nailah smiles brightly as she beholds the ragtag group of familiar faces.

by **Taliesin** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 2:36 am

"What th..." Taliesin said, seeing who it was. "Nailah?"

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 2:41 am

"Why the surprise, Will?" she asks, quirking an eyebrow at the second Will. And all the other much-too-young-looking people.

by **Taliesin** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 2:53 am

"You...I mean, we all thought..."

"It's good to see you."

by **MsChif** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:02 am

MsChif stood with a begrudged Anarchy, looking toward Nailah. "Hey Nailah, it has been a long time..", shockingly she didn't seem all that surprised, Anarchy just turned away, arms crossed and pouting.

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:04 am

"We've been forced to assume a lot of things about the ones we lost contact with." she smiles sadly.

"But never the less, I am glad to welcome you all to Tir na Nog. Whatever you went through to make it here lies behind you now." she goes on, glancing at the pouting Anarchy. "Here you are safe."

by **Anarchy** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:06 am

"I don't want to be safe, I 'want' to be with my father." She said quite matter of factually.

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:22 am

"Who says one excludes the other?" she says with an enigmatic smile.

by **Anarchy** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:24 am

"Well, Obviously he isn't here, he stayed back there." She continued coldly.

by **MsChif** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:25 am

MsChif just shook her head, sighing deeply. "Kimberly..look I'm sorry, but your father and I agreed that you would be safer here...and that was more important."

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:29 am

"You'll like it here. I promise." Nailah says with a smile, kneeling down to talk to Anarchy.

by **Anarchy** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:32 am

"Whatever you say, Lady.." She said while rolling her eyes.

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:39 am

"Just be a little patient and everything will be fine."

by **MsChif** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:42 am

"She's really upset with me on this one, Nailah.." Mschif admitted, shaking her head.

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:46 am

"You did the right thing bringing her here." she says, standing up.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:47 am

"Where, precisely, IS here? I mean..." Will began.

by **MsChif** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:51 am

"I sure hope I did.." MsChif continued..rubbing her temples..

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:54 am

"Tir na Nog, the Land of Youth." she answers Will's question, stepping aside and sweeping her arm towards the towering mountain and the fortress visible in the distance, nestled into it's side.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:13 am

"...so, what, like, Brooklyn?" Will said, though he was joking.

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:16 am

"Does it matter?"

by **Taliesin** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:18 am

"No. Not at all," Taliesin said, shooting Will a glare.

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:30 am

She nods. "What matters is that you made it here, though your journey is not quite at an end yet. The pass can be arduous, but we can provide help for the wounded or... otherwise impaired." she says with a quirked eyebrow as she notices the other Sara.

"I believe you might have some things to explain..."

by **RRR** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 11:45 am

"It's quite the tale too dear. I'd love to stay and hear it again, but this is where I take my leave."

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:13 pm

Stan looked over the previously dead
Co-worker, skeptical.

"You as well."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:15 pm

"So...it this all there is, or does Tir na Nog come complete with a roof?"

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:18 pm

"We can talk on the way." Nailah tells Stan as she starts leading the group up the mountain road.

by **Narrator** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:27 pm

The path was well-worn. Many refugees had traveled up it, and while the townsfolk at the foot appeared to all be human, the mutants lived up in the mountain fastness that was further up the trail, still nestled in snow.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:34 pm

Will whistled, soft and low.

by **Nanuq** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 3:39 pm

As they stepped onto the trail, Sergei had brought up the rear.

"It is impressive, isn't it?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:07 pm

"Fairly so," he said, not startled by Sergei.

by **Nanuq** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:42 pm

"Two of you and not one hello?" he smirked teasingly, "Remind me to take you off the Christmas list Mister Stanton."

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:44 pm

"So, give us a summary. After your message, we hardly expected to see you here."

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:46 pm

"Message? What message?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:54 pm

"you don't remember leaving a message for us?"

by **Nailah** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:57 pm

"I can't say I do, no."

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 5:10 pm

"Curious.."

Stan gave it a deep thought, unsure if it was actually Nailah in front of him.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 6:16 pm

"So, what kind of people come here?"
