ooc: Precisely.
Yes, I know how can I delagate and still appear.
Answer: With difficulty
I have limited internet access here, that means I may be on often and may not be on at all, so all jobs stand I may just take control of Atlas on occassion.
It doesn't look like I know what to do tonight though...
I'll figure some thing out.

Atlas stirred in his bed,

pain shooting through every pore in his body he fell back on his pillows, what had done this to him?
Why had his ordinarily remarkable immune system not elliminated it?
There had to have been a reason, but it was impossible for him to think with the war raging within his flesh
He could not think, it was then Kelli took the syringe left
by the medics and injected the concoction into his bloodstream.
Slowly a gentle haze passed over his pain, he lapsed back serenely.
The pain was fleeing he was very soon to be back to his own self.
As soon as his mind felt up to it he spoke to them.

"So, what happened? I cannot believe that the medics alone could have stopped a poison as deadly as that. What happened?"

He had deduced it could not have been a typical elven poison, or Kelliana's elven healing skills would have alleviated it,
In fact it could not be a typical poison at all, else Scott would have known of it well from his days as an Amorian assassin.
The dwarves did not often deal in poison, prefering more dramatic techniques.
This left one group.
He was not overly surprised, therefore,
when they explained to him that the poison was Styx Water.
It did unsettle him however, as that meant the worst was not yet over and the pain he had awakened to, may not leave him
Indeed it had already began to return from that dark chasm that the hazing effects of the drug had cast it.
He turned his mind from such area's

"Kelliana, what are you doing here?"

 

[Shadowseldil]

(((All right, let me see. Reviewing... reviewing...)))

(((As the medical team left, a single, grey-headed doctor remained at Atlas's side. "We've seen a lot of poisonings," he reassured Kelli, "He'll pull through this all right. Though, I can't say that I ever recall the champ being poisoned with Styx water after the match. Most unusual."
Another minute of casual conversation passed before Atlas stirred and openned his eyes. "Lie still," the doctor said, turning his attention from Kelli, "You were poisoned, but you should be through the worst of it now. Let me check you over."
"I'll be fine," Atlas said sitting up suddenly before the doctor shoved him back just as suddenly.
"You may not be if I cannot check you. You may be the champion of the tournament, but I know more about the body than you, and, if you will not honor my grey hairs, then I have other ways to make you cooperate."
Atlas frowned but allowed the doctor to check him. After a variety of questions and a number of numerous tasks, the doctor was satisfied. "For now," he added. "I'll be back tomorrow to check on your stiffness. It could just be the lactic acid in your muscles, or it could be the poison. We won't know until morning."
The doctor acknowledged everyone and left.
Atlas looked around at the others in the room before sitting up. He looked at the puncture on his arm, then said "What did I miss?")))

(((At least, that's how I wrote it before Drama beat me to it. I'm going to keep it for memories sake. I got to play Atlas for one brief glimspe. *sniff*)))

ooc: Oh you are going to have him a lot this month Shadow, don't worry.
I just wanted to set the tone for a drug addiction
(I just read the Seven-Per-Cent Solution what did you expect )

 

[WhiteLily]

ooc: Where are you dramaking? What are you doing?

ic: *Kelli hugged Atlas* You know, if you weren't incapacitated I would slap you silly. I needed to talk to you, but you kept running away from me. I wrote you a letter and tried to catch you at Yitai, I even threw my necklace, then you shouted, "Just leave me alone!" and threw my necklace out the window. And you didn't even try to write me back and tell me how you are, or that you loved me. I thought you hated me.

 

[dramaking]

ooc: This isn't because I can't post it's because I
WON'T post. I am being lazy and I think that Shadowseldil can handle a drug induced reaction to that than I can, enjoy.
And I am on a sort of business trip WL
An hour off MY schedule, and mooching off of a non-restricted Wi-Fi

 

[WhiteLily]

ooc: grrr.... *growls at you and points at the thread* POST!

Zhash felt uncomfortable as Kelli started to lay in on Atlas, but he could have sworn that it had been Kelli who had abandoned and mistreated Atlas, not the other way around. Either way, it was not for Zhash to cut in on. He would do much better by himself for now.

As Zhash paced one of the small bedrooms of the suite, he pondered the group's next moves. He of course would now be using his influence on the king for the cause. He wondered now if he had a complete hold on the king; Retta was always a threat, and the new arrival, Roche, seemed to be even a bigger threat. Nevertheless, Zhash would have to try his manipulative power. He decided tomorrow would be a good day to work out the details. He had already done a good deal of hinting at the idea of something greater than Amoria, something the king could be a part of, but now was the time to act. That is, if Atlas is not dead. How can the king sign allegiance to a dead man?

 

[Shadowseldil]

(((ok, I'll do something with Atlas tomorrow.)))

 

[dramaking]

ooc: Please do, my former internet is down AGAIN and I am not going to be on long enough to count BEANS...good luck and one final note...
you are in charge of the drug addiction make it good!

 

[WhiteLily]

ooc: *thumps head on keyboard, once again* How many times have I done this since Timeless?

 

[Shadowseldil]

(((Too many perhaps.)))

"No," Atlas replied wearily, "I don't hate you. I need you."
Looking around, he saw that Scott was no longer with them. "Where is Scott? I need Scott."

(((For further reference, Who is still in the room?)))

 

[WhiteLily]

ooc: Just Kelli and Atlas. Scott went somewhere, Zhash is somewhere else, and Dae is a moonbeam on the beach somewhere. Hope that helped!

ic: *Kelli shrugged, not exactly pleased about Atlas' answer to her. She sat back* He went with Sierra somewhere.

 

[boxers]

Scott walked into the room in his own little world still noticing everything around him just not hearing he went and sat down on a rocking chair.

 

[WhiteLily]

Nice to see you too Scott. Atlas is fine by the way.

 

[WhiteLily]

*Sierra walked back to the inn and went into the room. She looked up, saw Scott, then sat across the room near Kelli,*
How is he?
Definitly better, he may have some lasting effects though. I hope they won't be too serious.
Me too. We need at least one guys here to step up to the plate.

 

[sampson x]

Once Zhash thought he had given Atlas and Kelli enough time to settle their problems, he made his way back to the main room. He was surprised to find that Sierra and Scott had returned as well. Still uneasy, Zhash began to pace the room before directing his attention to Atlas, "Atlas, if you're feeling better, I believe we need to speak of our next moves. Too many people know our true identities. We have to act fast," Zhash looked away for a second, not wanting to say what he was really thinking, "Besides, I fear for Yitai. I need to return as soon as possible."

 

[WhiteLily]

*At the mention of Yitai, Sierra piped up*
I saw lots of activity across the channel in Yitai, I couldn't see anything very well, but something BIG happened

 

[Shadowseldil]

(((Ok, being in charge of the main character whilst sporting gentleman's boxing glovery, I mean, whilst not knowing where the story is going to go, is not an easy task. However, I'm bound an determined to try. So... here-sa I-sa go-sa.)))

Atlas attempted to sit up in bed, but his body still ached; whether from the poison or the battle with Daethalion, he could not tell. He groaned and made it with another effort. "You are right, Obacai. We must plan for the future, and quickly. First, we will gain a hearing with the king. Using your familiarity with him and my status as the tournament champion, we can open him to an alliance. That should not be too difficult.
"Scott, you will have the more difficult task. You will need to go to Camador and prepare the way for us. Try to find these people: Alecia Brightstar, Jakim Dracosbane, and Cador Solomon. They are fairly prominent people, and your position should be enough to introduce you. They know who I am, but try to keep our identity secret from everyone else. We will follow you after we have the king's mind to our cause."
"Perhaps," Atlas said to Zhash with a slight wince of pain, "We can stop by Yitai to ensure that all is well."

 

[WhiteLily]

*Kelli sat back on her heels and crossed her arms over her chest, and Sierra stood. Kelli rocked back and forth* And what are we supposed to do? Sit here and be damsels in distress?
