Cliodhna Eoghan

Cliodhna glanced in the direction Siha's voice came from. "I wasn't planning to have her go in there blind anyway, but the more people we have on our side is better.....Provided we get there early enough; we can plant a few people around and inside the building along with the ones that will pose as Kiht's guards. Once they start talking and it's clear they're in a passive state; We'll let our real intentions be known." Idly she twirled a lock of hair around a finger as she leaned back in the chair; feet propped up on the table. It was gonna hurt quite a bit and take more concentration than usual, but she was planning to cloak herself and stand near Kiht just in case. There was no better position than right on top of her for an easy defense in addition to her added guards. This wasn't a doubt of the woman's skills on any part; Erik had trust in her, that was enough for Cliodhna but it was still best to get as much leverage as they could quickly. Youkio bounced his leg while still straddling the chair, he wanted to get out of there already and get this started. Since there was no chance in hells they'd wipe out the miserable lot he had taken to another idea. Clearly from the card game the other night and a few other points of reference from whispers; they took on a lot of odd jobs...more so than what Youkio himself took. Since he couldn't buy Geruda back with what little he was earning....it might just be worth a shot to seek employment with them till he earned enough gil. He let out a sudden chuckle at the though; tossing his head back and covering his eyes with a hand while the other held onto the back of his chair. It was a stupid idea, but he'd be damned if he wasn't gonna try it anyway. "Somethin funny?" Cliodhna asked, brow raised at the male Keeper. "Nah...just nother one of my dumbassed ideas is all." He replied with a smirk and a wink. Cliodhna shrugged it off with little regard. "You have a lot of those...but you best not be doin anything stupid that'll get us killed." She replied sharply before looking back to the others in the room. "Siha, how fast can you get your contacts out near the spot to meet up with us before headin into Candlekeep?"

go ahead and toss erik and i on the list, looks fun!

You think your character is cool? My character is a fucking emotional Dragonborn Sorcerer from the petrified wood who constantly places themselves in danger, just to prove a point

these are so cute. O^O

Congrats to Sounsyy for winning! Everyone else; get your livers ready for next month! *opens sign up sheet* Thanks as well to HoD for letting us use their tavern. Updates will be made to the first post as we near getting ready for next month.

hour and a half buuuummmp

The same people that taught her how to kill properly. c:

You nailed it, Clio. And that's the part I don't get. Yes, I've hit the login queue on a lot of nights, but it has never lasted more than a few minutes, tops. It takes longer for Mor Dhona to completely spawn everyone for me than it does to weather the login queue. :surprise: exactly, usually the que time is in single digits for me when it does happen (3-7 is the usual range for me) there was maybe one or two times i've seen a massively high number (around 130's) and that was the times everyone was getting dc'd and trying to log back in at once.

generally i log out when i'm done, however there are occasions where i'll be fishing/spam crafting and i've passed out at my desk for an hour or so....but usually when that happens; i either go back to playing or log off depending on what time it is. what i find slightly annoying are when i see a pc left doing the manderville for two days straight afk simply to keep them logged instead of logging out and jumping in the (normally low) que line when it's time to log back in.

bummer, would you like to be on the tentative list for next month?

i plan to be changing dates/times on them in a sort of loose rotation each month so more people have a chance to compete c:

i drew my sig art o3o

C had to drop from this one to next moth so i can add you in for this saturday. c:

Theme for the next one? :lol: Chachan doesn't drink, though. He's underage. Warren would have to sit out. Or play the home version. /think you bring your wife and i'll bring erik; we'll double-date it and the rest can go with whoever's wiling ;D

( SABLE IS FRENCH FOR SAND. SAB- LEH ) ( -I- KNOW THAT. OSRIC DOESN'T. ) [[Osric should know since he works in Sable Hall......]] Cliodhna looked over the paper with mild interest, from all sounds it was just another cat house trying to be more than what it actually was. Not that she cared one way or another, it just seemed to be a rather counteractive stance the apparent owner was taking concerning the options for buyable intimacy....but sex sells.

hmm....from the sounds of it, times are pretty flexible and clio does take random jobs on the side for monies (her first love...) so i wanna join if there's still room to o3o

Youkio rushed back to his small shack on the river's edge. His long legs feeling fully stretched for the first time in a long while. Though his news was important, it felt nice to run, to feel the winds comb through his hair, the slight ache reminding him muscles were there, it all felt exhilarating. He broke into a grin and keep running full speed until he neared the house. Slowing to a jog, he absentmindedly gave Pepper a quick pat on the side as she shuffled around the yard. He had asked about hitching the bird, but Tempest insisted against it and so far the chocobo had made no move to leave and even let Skittles snuggle on her back where the saddle usually was. Upon Youkio's return, Skittles moved from chocobo to Youkio, settling on his head; fluffing up his feathers with an all over shiver as he landed. "What's with ta excitement, ey?" The pink bird cawed. "Somthin big, seems talk's been goin round and we got us a meetin." Youkio replied to his friend. Though this wasn't the only reason for his excitement truth be told. He had a small plan of his own, one that Youkio hoped to place into effect shortly. Cliodhna re-read the parchment, her jade eyes scanning the lines quickly. Forging documents were not new to her, but that didn't stop her from double and triple checking the contents to ensure it sounded correct in linguistics regarding the supposed sender and overall look of the document. Half the work had been easy enough thanks to proper planning; the few blank papers she grabbed from Erik's desk with the generic Flame Hall letterhead and swiping his ring were both in foresight for just this sort of occasion. The exact details of the letter mattered little, it simply stated that they were displeased with the events on the bridge and that a demand for the money was to be made and given to the Flame Currier that was in possession of the letter with a minor few backhanded death threats tossed in; all mimicking the written mannerism of a Flame personal. Near the bottom it was left blank save for a short statement saying the recipient should already be aware of the sender's identity. After folding the letter carefully, she applied the wax and pressed the seal firmly into the puddle as Youkio burst into the door. "Somethin up, Piper?" She asked, not looking up from the newly formed seal; the edges crisply outling the scales that was the Flames' insignia. "Yeah, we got ourselves a meetin! Overheard it down at back part of Hawker's alley, we got a bite and a meetin's bein set up over 'round Candlekeep for a sit down chat an some drinks." He replied, bouncing from foot to foot; tail swaying. "Sit down Piper, you're actin like ya got fleas." Cliodhna replied as she carefully tucked the letter in the pocket of her Flame coat. She was close enough to Khit in size that it should fit her alright but it wouldn't be a tailored cut appearance-wise like it was on herself. "Can't help it, I wanna help an get Geruda back." Piper sighed over exaggeratedly and swung a free chair around; straddling it with his chin on the top of the backrest. "Piper.....how much do you owe them?" She asked, glancing up at him for the first time since he entered the room. Frowning, Youkio looked at the floor, grinding the toe of his boot in a circle. " Nuff an I'm leavin it at that." He mumbled, his secret hope of them offing the group in one sweep dashed as Tempest brought up the payment arrangement. "Three thousand, ta dummy owes em three thousand gil. It ain't worth that much if ya ask me but he insists on buyin it back." Skittles pipped up, already swooping out of hitting distance and landing on a nearby exposed support cross beam for the roof. "Damnit all, keep yer beak shut!" Youkio grolwed but it was more subdued than before. He just didn't have the heart to start up an argument when he was right; it had been stupid to try and gamble that much and had he been more sober, Youkio would have known something wasn't right when the bet was offered. This issue with Tempest aside and all; Youkio hadn't thought too poorly of the Lala, he did offer to let him buy Geruda back after all...it's just would have been a much shorter time if he could actually use her for his real job. This washing dishes thing was giving too little over too long of time. Cliodhna sighed, that was a hefty fee for someone and Youkio's current income level made it worse from the sounds of it. Stretching, she leaned back in the chair, languidly enjoying the feeling of her spine popping before wincing slightly and sitting forewords quickly. The tale-end of the stretch pulling the muscles under that stupid wound expectantly. During her part of the watch; she had tried to treat it again best she could but it was getting worse. The medical salve she had just wasn't doing much by this point and any sort of healing magic was out of the question. Once this was all over, she had to find a proper doctor of some persuasion to take a look at it, but that was of course provided they all survived this little adventure. As far as Youkio's bill, she remained silent on it; already aware he wouldn't take money from her if she offered but something had to be done. If the meeting went as planned, perhaps a rework of his deal with the pirate captain could be made. The only thing left for them now was to gather up and head towards Candlekeep Quey, hopefully gathering Osric and the others in hiding at Limsa in the process for added support before leaving La Noscea and heading back to Thanalan.

I've had a couple people drop out because of the start time, but the ones later on (this will be a monthly thing) will have different times/days to help accommodate the ones that are unable to make it. also if you do log on later that day, send me a tell and i'll let you know if it's still going c: added right the list is semiclosed but if i have more people that can't be there, i can add them to take the open spots if you have other fc members interested in the one this saturday. otherwise, have 'em write their name in and i'll get a list started for next month. i'll call and have erik come roll him home with the big chocobo. ;D

i like your username and icon pic. it looks thoughtful but also like a high school yearbook photo so i had to giggle a little at it. c:

okay removed aeylis and replaced her spot with arc since faye said it was okay for arc to compete instead of working that night. c:

No worries, hope you had fun c:

Name: Cliodhna Eoghan World: Balmung Character main class/job/role (Optional): Ninja/Monk Cards (recommended): Judgement Reason for Card choice (recommended): The judgement card is mostly about a major shift in someone's life and their reaction to it (hence the words, judgement, rebirth, decision, reconciliation, hope, and redemption are commonly used words when describing it) Currently Cliohna is at that point in her life. She has tossed aside (at a great risk to herself) her old life because there was a inner struggle with it that has been quietly building over an amount of about ten years. Now that it's gone and she's in her now life, she has a more hopeful view of how things will be for here. She's still having a harder time adjusting than she lets on, but a large scale life change usually has it's bumps along the way. When Judgment appears in a reading, it's usually interpreted as a signal of an impending judgment, such as of postponed decisions. This decision for her to change and start over in Ul'dhh has been something that was put off for at least eight years because she wasn't ready to aside from other reasons that took a lot of evaluation of both herself and her previous line of work. As the card symbolizes resurrection, it can also be interpreted to herald the return of individuals from the past. This also holds well for Cliodhna because that life change she finally took has placed someone from her past back into her life on a very involved level.

Cliodhna leveled her gaze on Kiht, letting go of Youkio's ear in the process. "It seems this was an inside job as much as I hate to say it...The Flames our Captain has devoted so much of his life to seem to have turned against us. The bridge was for all intensive purposes, a set up, but the way the orders were given; we were unable to refuse them so now we're here...Hiding like wharf rats as they pick off our numbers." She explained, hint of venom in her voice. "I know the Captain won't take this lying down but he also knows I won't run and hide like he's told us. So as of right now, our only lead is the Pirate crew that carried out the botched mission for the set up. He must have sent us our way knowing you'll be willing to help as well." Cliodhna replied, letting a soft curve of her lips slip by. Tilting her head to the side, she paused and listened to Siha with a slight quirk of her brow. This was the first time Cliodhna had heard the small Keeper talk as much as she had...and the ideas; they weren't bad. Any of them. When Siha had first insisted on going with her, Cliodhna had just assumed it was because of that injury and was only wanting to try and watch over here. Good intentions aside; She figured most of the time on the run would be spent just keeping her alive but this, this was an interesting surprise for Cliodhna. She was finally starting to see why Erik adopted her as a sister. Her brows knitted at that comment. "It was? Right, I'm having trouble recalling details from the bridge it seems." She replied simply at the correction. "You have brought up some good points as well. Youkio might not be the best for a direct approach; if he has such a...unique history with them, they won't take his words at face value with the mention of another job. However; he will be useful to point out the group to Kiht who would be all the more convincing if she has the uniform and proper sealed paperwork." At these words, Cliodhna held up her hand for Siha to see Erik's Flame signet ring on her thumb. "She's also the only one they haven't seen from either this job or before." "We write up a false paper stating they're in need of another job but need to meet in person. In the meantime, we use your contact Siha and anyone Youkio can dredge up to spread just enough word that it's actually a plot to wipe them out in one hit." She paused, biting her bottom lip in thought. "We then find the Pirate crew...or at least the captain and tell them we've also caught wind of the supposed threat via Kiht here and in exchange for information; we get rid of the group sent out to take them out and any paperwork stating their involvement, thus keeping them safe to continue pirating with one less target on their back. Siha this other contact you have, can they help us with either this step or acquiring the needed fireworks and smoke bombs for later?" She paused, it wasn't a strong plan but it was all they had at the moment. "We'll rest a bit for now in shifts then set this into motion as soon as possible....I'll take first watch."
