[LOG] Brill Social Society Hallow's End Masquerade

[Qabian]

The Sha folds its arms and screeches unhappily.

The Sha peers at the town and counts on its fingers. Then holds up one and looks around.

Syreena Shadowblade scratches her head. "Maybe I printed the wrong date on the posters...."

The Sha claps its hands together, when it spreads them, the words 'Fashionably late?' are burned into the soil

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Yeah....maybe....

Syreena Shadowblade looks at Jriley.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: What is your costume?

The Sha cocks its head

[James Riley] says: Just some rags I found in my old home. I came as a thief.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Oh. That's....original....

The Sha cackles maniacally at the situation.

[James Riley] says: Heh, last second thing...I uh couldnt grab anything else.

Syreena Shadowblade tilts her head, peering at the Sha. "Laugh again."

The Sha releases a screeching laugh that is as unpleasant to think about as it is to hear

The Sha cackles maniacally at Syreena.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire clasps "her" hands behind "her" back, just watching, a bit creepy.

Syreena Shadowblade lifts a hand to her head. "Hey, that's enough of that!"

The Sha cocks its head, whatever could she mean?

[James Riley] says: I just kinda showed up to say hi.

Syreena Shadowblade reaches for the Sha's hand and presses a small pouch into it.

The Sha tosses a [Chocolate Cookie] up in the air, a sha tainted tendril flicks from the maw and snatches it like a toad would a fly. It looks at the package curiously... Then stuffs it in a hip pouch.

Syreena Shadowblade looks at Borghul.

Borghul points at Jack.

The Sha greets Borghul with a hearty hello!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Nice mask.

[Borghul] says: Stole mah idea!

Syreena Shadowblade cackles maniacally at Borghul.

The Sha screeches accusingly at the little pumpkin

The Sha threatens Jack with the wrath of doom.

[James Riley] says: This is why I didn't wear the Pumpkin.

Borghul pokes at the pumpkin on his head, a little juice oozing out of it's mouth. "S'the real deal."

The Sha cocks its head and shrugs a spiny shoulder.

The Sha cackles maniacally at Jriley.

Borghul stretches a little. "An heavy!"

[Borghul] says: Dibs!

Borghul snatches up the rat. "Fer later."

The Sha nods.

Borghul looks at you.

You clearly state, NO.

The Sha pokes at one of the daggers, mostly to see if that is actually fire

[Borghul] says: Terrifying...

You nod at Borghul.

Syreena Shadowblade has a magical fire enchantment on the blades.

Borghul looks at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

The Sha draws the hand back quickly and nods approvingly. He holds out a goodie bag...Only to receive an orb to his elongated face. The unnatural material puckers as its dented inward, it pops back into place, shooting the orb at another partygoer.

[James Riley] says: Why is there a pumpkin on my head? Where am I?

[Borghul] says: A question I ask myself every day...

[The Sha] says: Scree?

[Borghul] says: ...yup. Nailed it.

Borghul nods at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

[James Riley] says: I see...vague memories of...I don't recall.

[Borghul] says: Was it a graveyard? Cuz if so, yer doin' pretty well.

[The Sha] says: Scree

The Sha nods in agreement

[Borghul] says: What he said.

James Riley shrugs. Who knows?

The Sha shrugs a shoulder, then grabs a fistful of whatever is in the pumpkin and tosses it at Syreena

James Riley sits down and begins to fiddle with a deck of cards mumbling.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Ack!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Ooh, candy.

Syreena Shadowblade cackles maniacally at the situation.

The Sha raises its head and sniffs at the air, then without another word, begins vaulting over gravestones and attacking the helpless critters in the graveyard

[Borghul] says: Don't eat too much. It's rot yer teeth... oh yeah.

Borghul shrugs at Syreena. Who knows?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: What is he doing?

[James Riley] says: Why should that both-oh right you can't replace your teeth.

[Borghul] says: Goin' fer the gold.

[The Sha] says: SCREE!

The Sha shoos Voodoo Gnome away. Be gone pest!

[Borghul] says: Make 'em fight!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: That...is the creepiest thing I've seen all night....

[Borghul] says: ...a draw!

The Sha bows down graciously.

James Riley puts the cards away and pulls out a mask. "Huh..."

The Sha cackles maniacally at Jriley.

[James Riley] says: Apparently we wear masks today.

The Sha nods at Jriley.

[James Riley] says: And freeze things?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: So now you're a human thief?

[Borghul] says: Yeah. Today. Only today...

[James Riley] says: Yes? No. Dead thing. Brain not right...remember that now.

Borghul agrees with Jriley.

The Sha snaps at the air, then points at the ground

[The Sha] yells: SCREE!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Well....smaller crowd than I expected. Who wants to start the costumed date auction?

You stare Syreena down.

Syreena Shadowblade points at you.

[James Riley] says: Is that what we're doing?

Borghul tugs the corners of his pumpkin mouth into a wider grin.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: I'm sure you gentlement will all bid high on the lovely lady here.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire says in a terrible falsetto, "Nooo, no no no."

The Sha clears his throat. When it speaks the voice is screechy.

James Riley digs in pockets. "I've uhh...I've got lint and a few coppers...and a pussy looking bug."

[The Sha] says: PerHAPS wE wAIt jUst A LITtle LONger? BAd sssssTORIES?

Syreena Shadowblade looks at Jriley.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: You're a terrible thief.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Fine, we'll wait a bit longer.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Who has a Hallow's End story then?

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire covers his mask with his hands, regretting everything.

[James Riley] says: Not thief. Darker thing. Whispery voice. Not weak one...

The Sha looks around the group, clearly ready to lead the charge

Borghul scratches the side of his head, which makes a little squeaky noise.

The Sha's voice changes to something far deeper and smooth, almost human.

Syreena Shadowblade tosses a mini mana bomb at "Jaina."

[The Sha] says: The end of the Alliance was a strange opportunity for many

Syreena Shadowblade listens intently to Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

[The Sha] says: A chance to start anew... To forget old debts and escape the life once lived... IF you escaped with your life at all

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire flinches at the bomb.

[The Sha] says: Such was the story of John Oswald Kennedy. A man of Lordaeron.

James Riley fidgets but does so queitly as the nervous ticks of a rotten brain slowly smoothing out.

[The Sha] says: Born a country farmer, like his father and his forefathers, John sought to escape the meaningful yet unrewarding duties that had kept his family chained for generations. He moved to Lordaeron, hoping to make his living on easier work

[The Sha] says: But like many before him. He found the golden possibilities were exaggerated. He did not wind up a farmer, but his back was bowed under labor nonetheless. Working in a crew to keep the vehicles of the trade routes supplied paid well enough yet it was

[The Sha] says: as unfulfilling as ploughing dirt. Until the day that he met Alice. A simple girl whose simple beauty attracted him, while her interest gave him hope.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Is this a love story or a scary story?

[Borghul] says: Love IS scary!

[The Sha] says: He courted her for a year, his life finding new joy in her company, his days spent sweating over wagons and his nights in pursuit of her...

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Ha.

[James Riley] says: A fools game...weak one fell for it...

[The Sha] says: Yet despite his carnal desires being sated... He found himself running at a slower pace from other problems

[The Sha] says: He enjoyed Alice... Yet he did not see his future with her

[The Sha] says: This doubt grew in him, a cancerous evil that turned joy into complacency and complacency into bitterness. Whatever he had with her, slowly died

[The Sha] says: ...Just as the lands around them began to wither

[The Sha] says: On the day that she demanded to speak with him, a scream rang through Lordaeron! The dead arose! The villages were falling!

[The Sha] says: ...And just like that, John found a way a reason to flee once more, and avoid more problems
James Riley exhaled, almost revelling in the descriptions of those days.

[The Sha] says: She awaited him at the coast, death itself would not stop her from receiving her answers

[The Sha] says: ...But with a new wagon, and death on his heels, John never came

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Where did he go?

[The Sha] says: Years passed, and the horror faded. The guilt faded. He was a survivor with nothing, but a chance to start anew in Stormwind

[The Sha] says: Older and afraid of anchoring himself in one spot, he found himself traveling the countryside. Elwynn to Westfall to Darkshire and even to the city of Booty Bay, hawking wares and never staying long enough to call any place his home

[The Sha] says: It seemed though, that he had not traveled far enough

[The Sha] says: As the world itself changed with the coming years, the land became less and less safe. His profits shrank as he was forced to hire guards to keep him alive along the now dangerous road

[The Sha] says: When he returned to camp, he found his money wasted

[The Sha] says: The guards lay dead, their entrails spilled along the ground and their blood soaking the earth

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Ooh

[The Sha] says: Reeling away in disgust, his horror grew as he realized they had not been left where they fell

[The Sha] says: 'I waited' they said in gory, loopy script

[The Sha] says: Hell itself would not outpace him as he abandoned all his valuables once more to save his own life

[The Sha] says: But Hell has no wrath like that of a woman scorned. An arrow found his side, and despite his pleas he found the animal just as unwilling to save him, as he was to save any life but his own

[The Sha] says: A face, pitted with rot and eyes gleaming yellow greeted him as the emaciated form of Alice towered above him

[The Sha] says: And one by one... Those he had left behind rose from the shadows to greet him. Alice with a hook

[The Sha] says: Father with a mace

[The Sha] says: Mother with a bow

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Did they kill him?

[The Sha] says: You have a problem staying still, they said

[The Sha] says: Hung in place by Alice's hook, his knees were splintered by blows from the mace until the sweet poison of the arrow finally robbed him of what life he had left

[The Sha] says: That very night... He rose from the dirt, pitiful and mewling, begging for aid

[The Sha] says: But just as he had abandoned everyone he knew... Everyone abandoned him

[The Sha] says: In Duskwood, some say you can see where he has crawled, forsaken by all

James Riley laughs cruelly lat the story. An icy fog emanating from beneath the mask. "A just dessert."

[The Sha] bows down graciously.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Were the others happy then? The wife and his parents?

Koileus pants as he arrives, having run over to here.

Borghul wipes a bit of pumpkin ooze from his pumpkin mask. "Happy endings always bring a tear to my eye..."

Koileus smiles at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

[The Sha] says: Yes not so much a scary story as a feel good tale, is it?

[The Sha] says: Hello

[The Sha] greets Koileus-Hyjal with a hearty hello!

Koileus blows Tahzani-Ravenholdt a kiss.

[The Sha] says: ...Wait I mean

[The Sha] yells: SCREEEE!

Syreena Shadowblade cackles maniacally at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

Koileus chuckles.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Any other stories, or is it time for the auction now?

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire mutters, "That sounds like a threat."

Borghul looks at you.

[Borghul] says: Heh...

[Borghul] says: Heh...

[Borghul] says: Heh.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire stares at Borghul. "You're the worst."

Syreena Shadowblade points at Borghul.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: You're up for sale first!

[Borghul] says: Woo!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Who wants to start the bids on Mr. Pumpkinhead?

Koileus blinks at the pumpkin heads and tilts his head.

[Borghul] says: Now don't go an' blow all yer coins on lil' ol' me... We got this lovely... "princess" over here, too!

Borghul points at you.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire says: ....I'd rather tell a story.

Koileus grins widely at the 'princess,' throwing a wink 'her' way.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Oh, maybe the princess should go first!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Ok! Princess first! Start the bids!

Syreena Shadowblade points at you.

Borghul laughs at you.

Koileus lets out a hearty chuckle.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire sighs, and stuffs one of the coconuts back in his shirt as it threatens to fall out. "Can I bid on myself?"

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Let's start with 100 gold.

[James Riley] says: Ive got a rock.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: No, you can't bid on yourself.

[Borghul] says: I got... some...

Borghul digs in a pocket.

[Borghul] says: Lint-covered candies...

The Sha screeches and raises a hand

[Borghul] says: From last year, I think...

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 100 gold to Scree.

You stare Tahzani-Ravenholdt down.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Really?

[James Riley] says: Heheh

Koileus blinks.

Borghul says: Oh geez, real money.

[James Riley] says: Lovely.

[Syreena Shadowblade]says: Anyone for 200?

[Borghul] says: 200!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 200 to Mr. Pumpkinhead!

[Koileus] says: [Thalassian] C'n ah bid 250?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 300?

[The Sha] says: SCREE!

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire covers his mask with both hands again. "I hate you all. So much."

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 300 to Scree! Anyone for 400?

Koileus waves a hand excitedly.

James Riley cackles loudly.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 400 to the elf. 500?

[Guild] Borghul: Jaina Proudmoore up for sale in Brill. Get 'er while she's hot!

[The Sha] says: Scree!~

[Guild] Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire: Fuck you.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 500 to Scree!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 700?

[Guild] Borghul: Watch out, she's saucy!

Koileus rubs his goatee and hesitates.

[Guild] Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire: Why are they actually bidding?

[Guild] Syreena Shadowblade: Maybe they're turned on by your coconut boobs.

[Guild] Borghul: I dunno. Why do you have coconuts in yer robes?

[Guild] Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire: Because that's what Jaina has.

[James Riley] says: This is entertaining.

[Guild] Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire: Realism

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: If by entertaining you mean agony.

Koileus hesitantly raises a hand, glancing over at 'scree'.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: The elf at 700.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Anyone for 1000?

[The Sha] says: Scree

Koileus shakes his head, not going any higher.

[James Riley] says: Your discomfort is soothing.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 1000 to Scree! Anyone else?

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire sighs. "I'm sure it is."

[Guild] Neevah: What females are you associating with who have breasts as round as coconuts?

[Guild] Aquizit: Uh.

[Guild] Borghul: Tonight is a good night. Learning so many things!

Syreena says: Going once....

[Guild] Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire: Don't. Just don't.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Going twice....

The Sha rubs its hands together

Koileus blows a kiss at the 'princess' and winks, "Next time handsome."

James Riley pulls the human mask off. The glow of his eyes occassionally touching green.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Sold! Scree wins Jaina for 1000 gold.

[Borghul] says: They'll look so adorable together.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Great. Wonderful.

[Guild] Aquizit: Alright.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Now that the princess is out of the way.... Back to Mr. Pumpkinhead!

Borghul flexes his muscles. Oooooh so strong!

[James Riley] says: Im sure it won't bite much.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Let's start at.... 50 gold.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: 2000.

The Sha blinks five eyes

[Borghul] says: High roller!

Koileus was a bout to rais a hand but coughs on hearing the bid price.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Wow, 2000 for Mr. Pumpkinhead to Jaina!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 2500?

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire laughs unpleasantly behind his mask.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 2200?

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Good luck.

James Riley whistles. "Quite a pretty penny."

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 2000....going once.....

[Borghul] says: Somethin' tells me this is out of spite! Perhaps some folks can up that there ante...

Koileus tells Borghul NO. Not going to happen.

The Sha cackles maniacally at the situation.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Anyone?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Going twice....

Koileus shrugs at Syreena. Who knows?

[James Riley] says: Best I've got is paper backs

[Borghul] says: At least I know I'm worth twice as much as you.

Borghul grins at you wickedly.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Sold to Jaina for 2000 gold!

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Yes, that's why I did it.

[Guild] Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire: Payback.

James Riley pulls books loosely bound out of his shirt. "Weak one won't miss these..."

James Riley is clearly grinning.

[Guild] Borghul: I'm tremblin' in my little booties.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Let's just keep going that direction....

Syreena Shadowblade points at Koileus-Hyjal.

Koileus blushes.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: What are you supposed to be?

Koileus says: Ah, dark knight?

Borghul applauds at Koileus-Hyjal. Bravo!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Uh huh...

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Okay.....let's start the bidding on the elf at....100 gold. His ears look tasty at least.

Koileus shudders.

Koileus says: Ya ain't gettin des ears Sy sy.

Koileus grins wickedly at Syreena.

Syreena blinks at Koileus-Hyjal.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: I'll be 100 gold then!

Koileus says: Oh mon... please, anyone bid o'er 'er?

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Ha.

[The Sha] says: Scrrr....

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Anyone for 200?

[The Sha] says: Ree

Syreena Shadowblade looks at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 300

Koileus casts a grateful look at 'scree'.

[The Sha] says: Reeeee...

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: I'll bid 400.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 500?

Koileus covers his young face with his hands, ears pinning back.

The Sha sucks in a great, lungful of air. Then in a bizarre act, hocks out what may or may not be its own skull at Syreena

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Hey...what the....

[The Sha] says: SCREE

Koileus hears something strange and peeks out from between fingers.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: What....we're not taking bones as payment here!

[James Riley] says: Interesting choice of spittle...bit chunky.

Syreena Shadowblade throws the skull at the elf.

Koileus eeks and ducks the skull.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: See tha lack of ears on that? That'll be you when I'm done with you.

Syreena Shadowblade cackles maniacally at Koileus-Hyjal.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 600 to me! 700?

[Borghul] says: Not even the weirdest thing I've seen tonight.

The Sha points at the gnomes

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: that's just creepy.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Gnomes don't count either, unless they're holding your gold. 700?
Koileus looks uncomfortable.

[James Riley] says: They do make such adorable choking sounds when their throats seize up though.
Syreena Shadowblade snickers at Jriley.

Syreena Shadowblade points at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 700? Or are you giving up on the elf?

[The Sha] says: Screeee...

Koileus looks pleadingly at the 'scree.'

The Sha shakes his head

Syreena Shadowblade slowly turns to look at the elf.

Koileus shrinks down a bit under her gaze.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 600 for the elf...to Lady Pumpkin.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire chuckles.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Next we have a terrible thief.

Syreena Shadowblade points at Jriley.

James Riley shrugs at Syreena. Who knows?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 100?

James Riley holds out his thumb and points it downwards.

Koileus raises a hand, glancing from the 'theif' to pumpkin lady.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 100 to the elf! 200?

[The Sha] says: Scree

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 200 to Scree. 300?

Syreena Shadowblade looks at Koileus-Hyjal.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 300?

Koileus looks nervous and nods.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 300! 400, Scree?

The Sha folds its arms

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Anyone else?

Syreena Shadowblade looks around.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 400 for the thief?

[James Riley] says: Far too much.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Sold to the elf for 300 gold!

Koileus siddles up closer to the 'thief,' "Ja bettah protect m' from da laday mon."

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: And now....

Syreena points at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Scree! Bids start at 300?

[Koileus] says: 100?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 100 to the elf.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Anyone for 200?

[James Riley] says: Honestly Im more likely to up and make off with your insides and wallet.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: I'll bid 200!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 300?

Koileus raises a hand.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire brushes snow off his sleeve. "I think I already won."

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 300 to the elf.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 400?

Borghul picks snow off of the pumpkin. "I know I did."

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: He comes with gnomes.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Joy.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: No extra charge.

Koileus smiles at the gnomes.

[Borghul] says: A bargain!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 400 to Mr. Pumpkinhead!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Anyone for 500?

Borghul looks at Araun.

Borghul points at you.

[Borghul] says: Check it.

Koileus eyes Araun up and down.

[The Sha] says: Scree?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 500 to Scree. 600?

[James Riley] says: Another

The Sha waves his hands in a no gesture, then points at the newcomer with a questioning look

James Riley seems to be losing focus. He kneels down so as not to fall over.

James Riley kneels down.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: You can't bid on yourself!

Koileus moves over to check on the other man.

Araun shrugs at Tahzani-Ravenholdt. Who knows?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 500? Anyone for 500?

The Sha hacks up his own skull at Lady pumpkin in rebuttal

[Koileus] says: Ja doin ahlright der?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Bah!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 400 then! To Mr. Pumpkinhead!

[Borghul] says: Woo!

Araun claps excitedly for Borghul.

[The Sha] says: Scree?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: And the new person....what are you supposed to be?

Syreena Shadowblade points at Araun.

[Araun] says: Why, only the stars themselves, that watch in cold, merciless judgement.

James Riley holds a hand up. The cold breath fading away as he seems less shaky. "I...I'm better now...I blacked out there..."

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Careful stepping up here. You just end up sold.

[Borghul] says: Sounds like a punk.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Okay.....bidding starting on....The Stars. 100?

[Araun] says: I've been called worse.

[Araun] says: Wait, what?

Borghul shrugs at Araun. Who knows?

Koileus offers the other man a hand getting up.

Borghul laughs at Araun.

James Riley takes the hand and stands up. His hand pulling off the hood for a moment. "What did I miss?"

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: I'll start it at 100. Anyone for 200?

[Koileus] says: Nah too much.

[Koileus] says: Oooh, ah'll do 200!

[Koileus] winks slyly at Araun.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 200 to the elf. Anyone for 300?

James Riley blinks. "Are you sure...when did...when did half of you get here. Is the fire out?"

[Araun] says: This is not going to end well for anyone.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 200 going once....

Koileus glances back in concern at the undead next to him.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Twice....

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Am I allowed to kill him?

[The Sha] says: Scree

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 300, Scree?

James Riley looks back at Brill and then shakes his head.

The Sha nods.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 400 anyone?

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: I think he's starting a collection.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: To add to his gnomes?

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Ugh. Most likely.

Koileus chuckles.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Anyone for 400 for the stars? Sounds like a deal!

The Sha lets out a screeching cackle

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: 400

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 400 to Jaina. Anyone for 500?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Going once...

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: We're really going to let Jaina buy the stars?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Going twice.....

[Koileus] says: Ah tink dey make nice couple.

[Borghul] says: It'd be funny.

[James Riley] says: Wait whoa whose buying what now?

The Sha ponders the implication. The shudders

Syreena Shadowblade points at Araun.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: I'm not sure the terrible thief even knows he was purchased.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: That one is for sal enow.

[James Riley] says: Wait I missed the auction?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: The bid is up to 500. Do you want to bid 600?

[Koileus] says: Ah, ja dun 'member it?

James Riley seems a bit relieved seeming to have saught up.

[James Riley] says: No...I black out now and aga-...

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Sold! The Stars to Jaina for 500 gold.

Koileus peers at Jriley searchingly.

[Araun] says: And I have found a new low.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: That's just where we are now.

James Riley starts to look himself over as if he's remembered something. Mumbling to himself, "Oh good it held up..."

The Sha cackles maniacally at the situation.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Time to pay up!

Syreena Shadowblade mutters, "So I have gold for the costume contest prizes."

James Riley rubs over his exposed bones. "I had meant to play a little gag for the auction though I suppose I'll save it for another night."

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire laughs. "Always thinking ahead."

Koileus nervously heads on up to hand over a small pouch to tpumpkin gal.

James Riley mutters something to himself under his breath and smirked pulling his hood over his head again.

Syreena Shadowblade collects all the gold into a pouch.

Syreena Shadowblade nods at Koileus-Hyjal.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Okay, now time for the costume contest!

[The Sha] says: Scree?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: One at a time, come up where I am and strut your stuff! You can say a few words if you like.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: After, everyone can whisper me their vote of the best costume, and then I'll announce the winners!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Start on this end this time.

Syreena Shadowblade points at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

The Sha clears its throat

[The Sha] yells: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Syreena Shadowblade cheers at Tahzani-Ravenholdt!

Araun claps excitedly for Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

The Sha folds its arms, satisfied

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Next...the terrible thief!

[James Riley] says: Huh...neat.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Flashy.

[Borghul] says: Great, now there's a door in the way...

James Riley walks up carving a few marks into his arm.

James Riley gets up to the top and then throws down a smoke ball...

The Sha blinks at Jriley.

[James Riley] says: TADA!

The Sha cackles maniacally at Jriley.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: That's....creepy!

[James Riley] says: Spent a fortune on that rune.

James Riley bursts into dance.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Elf!

Syreena Shadowblade points at Koileus-Hyjal.

Koileus blinks with a start, then heads on up.

James Riley says: Get on up there.

The Sha raises his eyebrow inquisitively at Koileus-Hyjal.

[Koileus] says: Dis gate makin' m' nervous mon.

Syreena Shadowblade bonks Jack on the noggin. Doh!

Syreena Shadowblade cheers at Koileus-Hyjal!

The Sha blinks at Koileus-Hyjal.

James Riley cheers at Koileus-Hyjal!

Koileus flexes his muscles. Oooooh so strong!

[The Sha] says: Sc...reee...?

[Koileus] says: Fer special nights, mon.

Koileus winks slyly at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

Syreena Shadowblade cackles maniacally at Koileus-Hyjal.

Syreena Shadowblade blows Koileus-Hyjal a kiss.

Koileus blushes at Syreena.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: ...by the sun.

Koileus blows you a kiss.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire sighs.

[Borghul] says: You think you're at the bottom, then you find the trap door!

Borghul laughs at you.

[Koileus] says: Sorrah, dun got none o dat elf pride ah guess.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Quite.

Koileus grins wickedly.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Okay....next....

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: The Stars.

[Borghul] says: If he starts preachin'...

[Araun] says: The next time night falls, look up at the crumbling bulk of Argus as it hangs before the stars, and wonder this - how many other dead worlds are there?

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire chuckles at Borghul.

[Borghul] says: There it is.

[Araun] says: We may never know. The night sky is but a glittering infinity of corpses, a vast graveyard - worlds numberless, and still. The stars should always frighten you.

[Borghul] says: Atta boy.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Gah.

James Riley falls asleep, clearly in a mocking manner.

[The Sha] says: Screee!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Uhh....

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Next!

Koileus blinks at Araun.

[Borghul] says: Behold!

[James Riley] says: Gentlemen?

[Borghul] says: St. Pumpkoween! The Headless Horseman's Horrid Helper!

The Sha blinks and looks over his shoulder. The headless horseman had been surprisingly quiet

Koileus scratches his head.

[Borghul] says: While the Horseman brings mayhem and death, the Pumpkin Saint brings candies and toys! Truly, a most horrible apparition!

[The Sha] says: Scree

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: The worst.

Borghul cackles maniacally at the situation.

The Sha nods at Borghul.

Koileus lets out a hearty chuckle.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Princess...

James Riley chuckles softly.

Borghul snerks.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire turns around once, like he might have thought to twirl, but instead just... turns. He says in a godawful, deadpan falssetto, "Your people are despicable cowards. You are nothing more than rabid dogs, and you will be put down."

[Borghul] says: Work it, girl.

Syreena Shadowblade cackles maniacally at the situation.

Koileus shivers in his boots. Chilling!

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire blows the gathered a kiss, but as he leans forward to do that, one of the coconuts falls out of his shirt. He picks it up and stuffs it back in as he walks back to his place.

Araun cheers at you.

[Borghul] says: Hot.

Koileus lets out a hearty chuckle.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: I know.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Thank you everyone!

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Now whisper to me your vote for the best costume!

[James Riley] says: And the host?

The Sha mutters a sulfurous screech of irritation... He wasn't wearing shoes when frost suddenly gathered across his feet

Syreena Shadowblade blinks at Jriley.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: What?

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: I'm just the host. Lady Pumpkin.

James Riley shrugs.

[James Riley] says: Fair enough.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: The Pumpkin Saint's hideous bride.

You blink at Rat.

The Sha cackles maniacally at Syreena.

[Borghul] says: Aww.

Syreena Shadowblade pokes Araun. Hey!

[James Riley] says: Well, its almost like what happened at the Cantena the other night

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Vote?

[Koileus] says: Ah missed a Cantina night?

[James Riley] says: Another dead man walked in like he was my own long lost brother. Were I not sure I didn't have one I mighta thought it myself.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: We have a tie!

[The Sha] says: Scree?

[James Riley] says: Oh my.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: 4000 gold will be awarded each to Scree and to Jaina Coconuts Proudmoore.

Syreena Shadowblade claps excitedly.

Koileus cheers!

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Joy.

The Sha cheers at Syreena!

James Riley cheers for both.

[Borghul] says: They're the King and Queen! They should kiss!

The Sha thanks Syreena.

You bow before Syreena.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: If we could have our King and Queen stand together for an etching...

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire sighs.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Really?

[Borghul] says: Kisssss.....

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: I hate you all.

[Borghul] says: But we love you!

Koileus blows you a kiss.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Thank you, and now the rest of you join them as well.

[James Riley] says: Say Rotting Corpses

[The Sha] says: SCREE!

Borghul tries to hold Jaina's hand.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire punches Borghul.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Very good!

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire loses a coconut and just lets it roll away.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Now....remove your masks!

James Riley pulls off his hood.

Borghul takes the punch with relative ease.

The Sha grabs either side of the jaw and stretches the rubbery material off like a mask and cowl

Borghul gasps at you.

Syreena Shadowblade claps excitedly.

[Araun] says: Behold! It was I, all along!

[Borghul] says: You're a MALE??? I am SHOCKED!

The Sha blinks at you.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: I know, right?

[The Sha] says: ...Jah died jah hair?

[James Riley] says: Huh...I actually kinda thought the same.

[The Sha] says: Yeesh, props fah playin' de paht Q

Koileus looks uncomfortable and his ears droop. "Um... it's permanent."

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire sighs.

[Borghul] says: Yeah, the acting chops of a dead chicken.

Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire takes the remaining coconut out of his tunic and chucks it into the cemetery.

Borghul watches it sail into the distance. "Good throw..."

[Araun] says: Someone will find that coconut, and will never know the night it just had.

The Sha cackles maniacally at the situation.

[Borghul] says: It got more action than most, too.

Syreena Shadowblade giggles.

James Riley laughs at you.

You let out a long, drawn-out sigh.

[James Riley] says: Like I said Tahz. Those things worked out in the end didn't they?

Syreena Shadowblade blinks at you.

Syreena Shadowblade points at you.

The Sha nods at Jriley.

Syreena Shadowblade cackles maniacally at you.

Koileus gasps at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

The Sha raises his eyebrow inquisitively at Koileus-Hyjal.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Thank you everyone for dressing up and coming out!

Koileus looks relieved no one heard his mutter and smiles at Tahz instead.

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: That's all I had planned for the evening. Hang out though, enjoy the scenery!

[James Riley] says: All of my good stuff is in...anywho, I had to buy that medallion. Only works a short while though.

[Koileus] says: Ja costume was real good mon, ah didn' recognize ja!

Koileus pats Tahz on the back familiarly.

[The Sha] says: Tank jah... Araku?

Syreena Shadowblade blinks at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

James Riley nods. "A pleasure...though I do need to ask what did I miss? I blacked out when we went over to the fires."

Koileus blinks and gives a small nod.

Syreena Shadowblade peers at Koileus-Hyjal searchingly.

[The Sha] says: Heh. Only one guy I know blows kisses ta me

Koileus blushes at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

Syreena Shadowblade looks at Jriley.

[The Sha] says: Well

[Syreena Shadowblade] says: Umm....you missed...part of the auction?

[The Sha] says: Wit de need ta be coherent done wit

[The Sha] says: Who wants ta get shitfaced and fight?

Koileus gasps at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

[Araun] says: So what exactly do I owe Jaina now?

Syreena Shadowblade grins wickedly at Tahzani-Ravenholdt.

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: Noth--wait, go find the actual Jaina. She's waiting for you, I'm sure.

[Borghul] says: I think he's lyin'.

Syreena Shadowblade has defeated Tahzani-Ravenholdt in a duel

[Qabian "Jaina" Grimfire] says: I'm just... going to go pretend none of this ever happened.

[The Sha] says: ...Dat wash insultingly fast ...hic!

Koileus backs away from the action, wincing as the dmon comes into play.

[Araun] says: Oh, we'll remember.
