Stabbith was late coming back to the Mists and it was Crysania’s turn to leave next and she was getting impatient. So She, Spike and Rain decided to check in on Dandd squirreled away at the new wiki – finally unpacked and organized.
Crysania knocks on the outer door to Wiki: Anyone home?
Dandd, almost bouncing the back of his head off of a shelf: Yes! In the back, near the new Vanquisher section.
Crysania wanders around for a while, amazed at how Wiki seems to get larger every time it gets moved.
Crysania: Hey old man, got a minute?
Dandd: Sure, what do you need?
A voice from behind the group startled everyone: Like, Message and stuff!
Everyone turned to see what appears to be a female Norn Elementalist, and very scantily clad even by Elementalist, or Norn, standards.
Dandd tries to suppress a grin as the Norn hands him a scroll.
Dandd: Thanks Jeni [yenny]
Jeni: Like, No problem. Is there, like, anything else?
Dandd: Not right now, maybe later. You’re free.
Jeni: Like, Killer!
Jeni turns to find that Rain has been mesmerized by her fashion and movement choices.
Jeni grunts in digust: Kids…
Jeni waves and leaves, and the moment she’s out of earshot Spike whips around to Dandd: YOU DIRTY OLD MAN!!!
Crysania: So how did you get a norn-
Dandd clears his throat: One moment, I got a text!
Crysania: I see two options, one is about patience and is in blue and the other is about thwapping you upside the head and it is in red.
Dandd puts the scroll down: …and I imagine your secondary isn’t Paragon is it?
Crysania grins: We’re looking for our dear Raz-One.
Dandd picks up the scroll again: Actually, this is a message from our dear Razy. Says something about being caught up in competitive Shiverboarding near Thunderhead Keep and that she’s doing really well. My lovely assistant scribbled “like omg that’s totally awesome” on the bottom.
Dandd pauses: What’s omg?
Spike, without hesitation strikes the bottom of his dagger to Rain’s sternum, knocking the wind out of him and leaving him groaning on the floor of Wiki.
Spike: THAT is omg. It was ‘sshhiihh’ followed by ‘plluhhh’ then ‘thud’ then ‘oooommmggggg’ and finally ‘GASP’ from the rest of you.
Crysania: Nah. It’s more like ‘oowww’ or ‘ooohhh,’ not really a ‘omg’ sound.
Rain is still groaning painfully.
Spike: I guess you’re right. So I have no idea what omg is.
Crysania shrugs in agreement.
Spike: I’ll ask Jeni later.
Crysania: So how DID you get a mostly naked, submissive-
Spike: Fully figured!
Crysania continues, pretending to be uninterrupted: Norn Assistant.
Dandd reaches for his Grail.
Crysania: Glad to see that made the trip.
Dandd nods and sips.
Dandd: I received a message from Olaf saying that they had a Norn that was of no use in a hunt. She wasn’t good with sword or bow and distracted too easily to be a good spell caster. Then she started annoying everyone about being bored or some such nonsense, a real Sacnoth Valley Girl type and Olaf asked my advice.
Rain managed to climb to his feet.
Dandd: So when it was my turn to go topside, I paid Olaf a visit and before I knew it, the Norn were pawning her off on me.
Crysania: You make it sound like you’re taking her in as a favor to the Norn.
Dandd tried to hide his grin with the grail.
Spike, grinning: You dirty dirty old man.
Rain: Maybe I’ll have to…study more, Wiki and all that.
Colonel Spike: Listen son, Jeni’s got a pair of Meteors that would knock you the Quin out.
Dandd nods happily.
Rain: @#$% you, I could so handle that.
Rain begins to make a hasty exit when he runs into, then bounces off, Jeni.
Jeni looks down at Rain: You are so, like, not Norn.
Rain, instead of snapping to his feet, just lies there and utters a defeated groan, the likes of which makes Spike, Dandd, and Crysania burst out in laughter.
Crysania yelled out: Keep Studying!
Rain climbed to his feet: Yeah, yeah…
Jeni: So, like here’s another message.
Dandd: Thanks. I have a question. What is omg?
Jeni: Like, Oh My Grenth.
Crysania just shook her head.
Dandd: Grenth?
Jeni: Totally! Like, Grenth is the God of cold right? Well, Like there’s a lot of cold where the Norn be and stuff.
Spike: Don’t you ever get cold?
Jeni: Like all the time! But Gwen made me these super-awesome charr-pelt gloves and then everything’s ok.
Dandd: …gloves?
Jeni: Totally! OMG you should so feel them! Super-warm.
Dandd grins to himself: Bring them with you next time.
Jeni nods and leaves.
Crysania looks at Spike, then Dandd: Just another day in Quinland, eh?
Spike and Dandd echo back, grinning: Just another day in Quinland.
