'Katie's back hurts from time to time but she is better for the most part. I know who Ed Begley Jr is now. xd '

Sasori regettingly lets go of Ally as Gippal pulls him up, "Hey, what's your problem? It's just a game. Ally was going to step on that clay spider and be blown to bits. Did you whant me to let that happen?" Ally stays on the ground looking for the molment in time she can get way.

Deidara sees this attack coming and jumps up to get out of the way. He lands with no sound from his feet and has a board look on his face, "Do you think my a fool? I grow tired of this, Sasori, get the girl. We're leaving." Sasori nods, and before Ally can get up Sasori grabs her and jumps onto the back of the owl next to Deidara.

Draco looks into Paine's eyes and simles in spite of his words, "I'm sorry...... Please save Ally." Draco falls uncontious on Paine.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:

OOC: I'm glad for the most part she is better. (^_^)

Paine catches Draco and tries not to let it bother her than limp, he rests between her breasts.

Deidara is so nimble at moving out of Nooj's swing that Nooj is thrown off balance. He lands heavy into the side of the owl. Baralai leaps over the fallen door after Sasori, but Gippal is much closer. He uses the recovering Nooj as a springboard and leaps onto the owl's back, also.

Baralai: "No! Gippal, Ally said--"

But Gippal gloats, "Can't let you go off and have all the fun!" Gippal fires his shotgun pointblank roughly towards the owl, but more to make close noise, "Heeyaw, chocobo! Mad'c neta 'as lufpuoc!"

In the middle of the ruined inn, Seymour watches with a slightly agape mouth. Who are these desert people? They're seriously mad! Seymour sees Gippal's death leap after Ally, And naturally, the Al-bhed is no exception. A small smile finds its place on his mouth. But then his cold contemplation returns, Not being harmed, I'll be questioned as to why I didn't intervene. Not wanting to be harmed, I suppose I must enter the arena. How not to show my hand, and yet be the casual victor? Without an answer, but deciding he doesn't want to potentially loose face, Maybe there's a way to have Deidara leave under the pretense he's a fiend... Seymour walks to the beginning of the ruinous hall.

Seymour: "Pardon me, I've forgotten my manners. You've shown us your magnificent array of powers, but I've not yet delineated mine. Come, Anima." Seymour begins summoning.
Then you win. --Mohandas Gandhi
'I'll let her know for you that you wish for her good health. 3nodding '

Even with Gippal the owl takes flight. Deidara is displeased with the fact that there are one to many people on flight. "Leave off, there is no room for you on my art!" Deidara kicks Gippal hard in his stomach to try and throw him from the bird.

Deidara takes notice of Seymour and looks at him stright in the face. Sh^t, I don't what to mess with this guy. We've taken to much time. Pein will kill me.... Deidara masks his true emotions with a fake smirk, "My array ain't done showin' but for now I must report to my Elder. He needs his 'jewel' of power back, and I have a feeling I woln't have an excuse this time."

Ally tries to break from Sasori's strong hold but he's like a frozen statue. "Don't stress yourself babe, if Deidara says we're taken' you then your coming." Sasori casually takes advantage of Ally once again and engulfs her in a tight embrace. Ally hits Sasori's right shoulder with as much force as posible from her disadvantage. Sasori doesn't let go but says calmly, "Don't do that either, thats my bad arm."
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:
Gippal doubles over and begins sliding off the owl. He snatches the edge of Ally's ankle and holds tight, dangling off the side of the owl precariously. He sees the wreckage of the inn swirling between his feet, So this is how I'm gonna die? How... cool! But, not today. Gippal looks up and swings his other hand onto Ally's other ankle, "Sorry for using you like a--! Sasori!" Gippal cheers Ally's attack on. Bad arm? It's my only chance... Gippal winces, "Ally, prepare!" Gippal then lets go of her and kicks the side of the owl to give himself height. Gippal fires his shotgun into Sasori's arm and then plummets to the ground far below.

From the ground before Seymour the tortured figure of Anima rises. Soon, its form towers over the rubble of the inn.

Baralai shades his eyes watching the fight on the owl. He sees Gippal fall, "No! Paine--Gippal's fell!" Paine takes a deep breath.

Nooj turns to his master, "Sir--Gippal!"

Seymour gives a cool glance to Nooj, and then turns to his beast, "Catch the Al-Bhed, Anima." The great monstrosity uncurls a unnerving human hand encased in heavy metal chains and catches Gippal. It brings him into a many armed hug.

Gippal yells as soon as he is in earshot, "Ally! Ally! You have to snatch Ally too!"
then you win. --Mahatma Gandhi
Sasori seems to feel no pain but frowns at this inconviniance, "F**k, now my arm is jamed." Sasori tries to move his arm but it stays still and makes a loud claning noise. Ally pushes away from Sasori but also falls back, slipping off the owl. Sasori moves forward and grabs Ally's hand but she slips free and continues to fall. "Deidara! The girl is falling!" Sasori calls to Deidara as the red eyed Ally's feet slide off the owl. Deidara turns around and pushes Sasori from his way, then leans almost right off the owl to put his arms around Ally's waist and pull her back onto the large bird, "My art can cause death, but it should never harm art as good as you." Deidara then puts his hand on the back of Ally's head and pushes her face into his shoulder as a sign of mock kindness. Ally doesn't realize this as a fake movement and submitst to it, but Sasori sees Deidara's plan, "Hey man, your movin' on my clame." Ally looks over the back of Deidara's shoulder and gives Sasori an evil glare, "I may have you in me but I'm not yours to have." Sasori laughs silently but only to cover his regret.

On the ground, Draco's left hand starts to twich.
A minute later Draco makes a painful sounding groan.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:
Gippal leaps down from Anima's arms and nearly barrels over Seymour: "Cen! Fa ryja--E sayh, Sir! We have to--"

Baralai moans, "Oh holy High Yevon...!" Gippal turns in slow motion to see Baralai staring at the sky.

The group looks up to see Ally's flirt with danger. They can only gasp as Deidara nimbly saves Ally. Gippal turns stunned back to his master, "Maester--we have to--"

Seymour begins to dismiss Anima.

Gippal: "Stop! What are you doing?! Ally--" Gippal looks back to the fleeting bird. Under its shrinking form, Baralai has been overcome with a somber look and glances sadly at Gippal.

Seymour speaks quietly, "They are gone. We will have to plan something new. It is useless to fight, now."

Gippal sputters in anger.

Draco is still in Paine's arms. She looks down, "Draco...?" Draco begins to moan in pain. Paine looks up frantically, "Something's wrong! Fetch Shelinda--Draco's..." Paine looks back at him and carefully lays him on the ground, "I don't know what's wrong."
then you win. --Mahatma Gandhi
The big owl starts to shrink into the distance.

Draco puts his hand over his heart hand opens his eyes slowly, "It hurts..... Ally.....is to far.....away from me. Need....to folow.... Must go....home." Draco gets up and walks over to the hole in the wall. He climes through and makes his way into the street.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:
Seymour dismisses Anima as Draco stumbles away. Paine goes to follow Draco but Seymour speaks, "Do not. This is a matter beyond our current realm of affairs."

Gippal whips around to face his master in outrage, "She's--she's being stolen and tortured and those bozos are running around unchecked--you all think this is--this is somehow beneath you?!"

Seymour says nothing.

Gippal throws up his arms in disgust. He grumbles, "Syopa E cruimt veht drec Sin pavuna canjehk ouinc."

Nooj shakes his head, "No, the Maester is correct. Our first priority is to, and always has been to, be present and fight during the Mi'ihen Operation. It is only in a few days, Gippal, then perhaps we shall be assigned to follow Ally and her captors."

Gippal wheels on his friend, "Didn't you see what Sasori can do with five minutes let alone a 'few days'!? And how many few more days will it take us to find their trail and follow it again?!"

Baralai braves the argument, "I actually agree... It may be impossible to find them again if we give them too much of a head start."

Seymour shows a little anger, "It is redundant. I know where they are headed, and I shall go there once we face Sin. Now, to your stations and report to your captains."

Regretfully, they each climb out of the rubble out onto the road. Paine watches Draco, "You three are sworn to Seymour and his wishes... But I'm not." She looks back at her friends, "I'm going to follow him. After Mi'ihen, call my comlink. Likely, if Seymour is correct, we'll all meet up at Deidara's hideout."

Baralai looks worried, "You're going alone?"

Paine grins deviously and pats his shoulder. She turns and runs to catch up with Draco.
then you win. --Mahatma Gandhi
Draco looks at Paine and smiles, "So you will.....help?"

As Paine and Draco walk a blue cloud of smoak surrounds them. Draco takes no notice of it but stops walking. "I think Ally is going to give us a ride." Draco looks around and finds the cause of the blue smoak: an overly large white tiger. The tiger walks right up Draco and lays down. "You want to go?" Draco sits on the tigers back and looks to Paine.

On the white owl the flight members have all taken seet. Sasori has been baned from getting close to Ally as she falls into mid-sleep by Deidara. Non of them speak to eachother and the only living noises come from Sasori who is trying to get the lead from his shoulder.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:

Paine catches herself gaping... and quickly shuts her mouth and swallows; "That's... a beautiful tiger." She looks up and meets Draco's eyes, "Is this really dangerous? Should I get the guys... or do you think you and I can handle this alone?" She looks away for a moment and then back, "And yeah... I'm going to help." She can't seem to meet Draco's eyes, "I sort of understand her plight or something."

At the ruined inn, the bartender is fainted and being fanned by visitors. Seymour goes into Ally's ruined room and coaxes Shelinda from hiding. She's shaking as badly as a cornered mouse and full of trembling tears. Seymour lets her hug him, and then he helps her out of the rubble. Shelinda wets her lips, "M-m-maester t-t-thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you thank you thank--"

Seymour holds a palm up, "Please. Enough. Just tell me what you witnessed and we will be even." Shelinda bows deeply all over again and proceeds to thank him. Seymour sighs, considers walking away, and then lays a hand on her shoulder to stop her. "What did you see?"

Shelinda squeaks, "Lots--and nothing--I was scared. I hid my eyes. I saw the man who got me--the one with glasses--he fell. And I saw the door--it exploded. Oh thank you for saving me. It exploded and I was scared. There was a lady in the room--no, I think two--one was pale and in black and the other was tan and in color. I hid my eyes--there was so much dust and smoke and noise! I was only supposed to see the lady in color, but--"

Seymour interrupts, "And why were you to see the lady in color?"

Shelinda bites her bottom lip, "I-I-I don't know. The man in the glasses told me he needed a female nurse. I'm not a nurse. I'm a learning healer. I'm going to be a priestess one day. I'm not that--" she sees annoyance slipping over Seymour's face. "I mean, he didn't tell me. They didn't either."

Seymour restrains a sigh and bids her goodbye. He walks before the inn listening to her calls of thanks. That was redundant to the point of sheer idiocy. I want to know what they were up to... perhaps there was another witness.

OOC: Tonight my roommates and I went to an Arab concert! It was really cool. Two men played a set of drums and flutes. They played modern music and historic. smile I think I'm going to post some recordings from my camera on Youtube!
Then you win. --Mohandas Gandhi
Draco thinks of Paines words before saying anything, "Will following the hunters be dangerous? No, we can handle this. The less people the better, I know a place that those guys will rest up before heading all the way to the sand village. It shall be faster with the two of us for now. We need to get to them before night fall... I don't think the guys are really going to bring her back. I think....maybe one of the men will take her powers." How does she understand all this? Does she really know how Ally feels? Draco waits for Paine to get on the tiger but it gets up and moves over to her. The tiger starts to purr with a loud rumble as it rubbs its head on her leg.

In the sky, Deidara spots his queckpoint: a small cave in the side of a mountain. The bird makes its way down to the earth in a steep decline. Ally doesn't take to kindly to the change in hight and starts to panic.

'I love concerts, they get me really jazzed up. I enjoy bells and flutes most of all. I hope you all had fun.'
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:

Paine breaks into an open smile as the tiger rubs against her. She tries to wipe it off her face, but it remains. She turns her crimson eyes up to Draco, "I'll trust you and the feline on this one..." She strokes the tiger's head, "And... I think you're right... Those men have no good plans for your lady." Paine carefully presses lightly on the tiger's back, "You think he or she won't mind? Maybe you should get on first...?" Even though she's worried, Paine can't keep a small smile from her mouth.

In front of the inn, the three men are in a collective funk. Gippal mutters, "I hope Paine's having fun."

Nooj responds harshly, "This is a matter of 'taking fun alway from Gippal.' You knew the responsibilities of serving a Maester when you signed up. If you couldn't have handled them, you shouldn't have agreed."

Baralai winces as his friends argue, "Really, I don't think we need to--"

Gippal crosses his arms, "Shut up. I'm feeling about as 'diplomatic' as Deidara right now, okay?"

Chastised, Baralai falls silent. Nooj stays silent in reproach of Gippal, and Gippal fumes mutely. The three form a rather dour collection. Shelinda rounds the corner (fresh from thanking Seymour half to death) and sees two more of her saviors and her captive. She rushes up and doesn't seem to notice the foul mood; "Oh! Misters! Thank you so very much for saving me! I'm very sorry, sir, I didn't... I wasn't able to be a--I got scared--she wasn't injured--I think--I was--and there was a bomb! A really scary--"

Gippal rolls his eye and sighs. He puts an arm around Shelinda and walks her off from the group, "Okay, it's okay. Thanks and all for your help. Me and my buddies are all happy and all to be a service. Maybe you should mosey on--looks like the bartender needs help--and do your... healing and whatnot."

Shelinda bows deeply to Gippal, "Oh, I will Sir Al-bhed! I will. I'll be a--"

Gippal waves and turns to walk back to his group. He espies Maester Kinoc hurrying his way. Gippal gives Nooj and Baralai a look, "Oh sh*t... this day just keeps getting better. It looks like we're going to get the Royal What the h*ll were you thinking?! speech from Maester Pork-N-Stuff."

Nooj frowns, "Gippal! Honestly! Show a little--Baralai, you're laughing too?"

Baralai can't help it and tries to hide his face, but the battle fatigue has caught up with the slight man and he--and Gippal--begin to laugh themselves senseless as rotund Maester Kinoc hurries their way.

OOC: ^_^ Thank you! We did have fun. My roommate Sandi is a big fan of Arabic cultures. Her enthusiasm is what made me go. Beth is a jazz musician--and jazz is partially stemmed from Moor culture. Anne and I just went because the others were--but I'm glad I did!
Then you win. --Mohandas Gandhi
Draco sits on the tigers back but it doesn't seem to mind. "So you do smile..... Come on, off we go. It will do us no good to wait." Draco pulls Paine onto the tiger and it starts to walk, then to run. The tiger moves faster than the owl could ever fly and soon the three of them are crossing different kinds of land.

The monsterous owl falls faster and faster but the only thing Ally thinks of is not falling off. Deidara takes no notice of Ally's fright but Sasori keen as ever does, "Are you ok, girl? What makes you so upset? Deidara, Ally doesn't like the way your landing." Deidara turns around to look at them and sees what Sasori is talking about. Deidara smiles in his non trusty way and takes Ally's hand to pull her closer, "You should be more afraid of what happens when we get to the ground. I'll give you something to worry about." The mouthes on Deidara's hands smile and then the one holding her hand sticks its tounge out, covering Ally's palm in spit.

'That sounds real cool whee '
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:

Paine rides along on the tiger with Draco. She holds on tight to him from behind, thinking of his words. She'd not said a thing since Draco had commented on her smile, and nor had she smiled again. She just simply rode, holding onto Draco, and watching the views expressionlessly.

She falls out of her revelry when she notices the changing landscape. "Draco? Where are we? Just how... how fast are we going?" The last part of her question rises in poorly hidden excitement.


Then you win. --Mohandas Gandhi
A large frown plays across Draco's face, "We're near the border of the sand country, as my people call it. Unfortunatly we aren't going fast enough. I'll tell Mar to speed up. But he might listen to you better." Mar (the tiger) starts to go even faster and the landskape changes for the final time.

The clay creation lands on the ground with a loud thud. At Deidara's last comment both Ally and Sasori frown.Recovering, Sasori leans forward to pull Ally back to his close advantage point and smirks despite the situation, "Looks like Ally's going to be between a rock and a hard place. Or just me and you, Deidara." This statement scares Ally and she strugles to get away from the boys but Sasori's hold is to strong.

The bird walks into the darker cave and seats its self without comand.
