  1. Darkleaf shrank back against the wall, trying to stay out of sight whilst still looking down on Ghost of Death, Jemma, Lucard and Elizabeth.

    She looked from Ghost of Death to Jemma and back again, thinking to herself, "Hmm... It looks like I'm going to be needing that high powered hoover thing after all...."

    Meanwhile, inside Castle Bathory....

    Darkleaf watched in fascination, from her hiding place on the platform, as Elizabeth disciplined Jemma, her eyes wide with a mixture of curiosity and a dark sense of glee. The whip reminded her a little of the carrion creeper vines she could summon, that would erupt out of the bodies of those trying to harm her, feeding off their flesh. She smirked, wondering what the Ghost of Death would do...

  3. Darkleaf follows silently behind Elizabeth and Ghost of Death, trying to stay out of sight. She'd already explored most of the Castle, including the dungeons, but she'd never seen anyone in there before... She glances up at the cage containing the woman, then at the unconscious longbow officer before returning her gaze to Elizabeth.

    Finding a place to hide without being seen, she crouches down and watches with huge round eyes as Elizabeth chains Jemma to the wall and begins to punish her. Listening to Jemma's screams, Darkleaf smiles...
  4. High above the Throne Room on a small platform, sitting curled up as small as she possibly could, sat another hidden figure, that of Darkleaf..

    She watched, wide eyed, as Elizabeth whirled on Ghost of Death ,and let out a small squeak of surprise as the vial of liquid seemed to turn Ghost of Death from ghost to something else. She quickly clamped a tiny hand over her mouth, hoping that she'd not been noticed.

    As Elizabeth dragged Ghost of Death from the room Darkleaf cautiously descended on silent wings from her hiding place, following a little way behind the Countess, hoping not to be discovered.

    "Damn my curiosity" she thought to herself....

    Moth Cathedral

    Elizabeth bit her lip cursing... then made the image shift. "Show me Moth Cathedral!", she commanded the mirror. The image changed and she saw the destruction Tower created on his way through Dark Astoria... Although it was hard to see... the mystic mists where only allowing visibility to about ten meters. Then she could finally focus on teh entrance of the Cathedral. There she saw Tasker showing the PDA to Pious. She couldn't see the image on it... but the guess wasn't that hard.

    "These idiots ae looking for Tower too... but they will not find it before I do!", the vampire-witch spoke softly to herself... knowing that it would still be hard to pinpoint its excact location and to open a gateway to let it pass through.
    High above, in her now usual hiding place, was Darkleaf... watching, listening. Her sharp ears caught Elizabeths softly spoken words.

    She'd seen the big robot leaving the Court a few days previously, had had to scoot quickly out of it's way. She still wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but.. given enough hiding and evesdropping she might eventually put enough of the puzzle together to be useful to someone.
  7. Yay! *does happy dance*

    Also, might I suggest looking here

    Good to have you back ML, you've been missed.
  8. Any idea how I go about changing the thread title? It could do with being "The Unofficial EU/UK Birmingham Player Meet" or something seeing as it's now been organised... :S
  9. The centre opens at 10am on the Saturday, and will be open till Sunday night.. So, depends on when you fancy coming along I'm probably just going to be there 10am till 5pm both days, depending on how my health is holding up. If necessary I can always game from my hotel room and annoy everyone from there

    I've still not heard back from the powers that be regarding any planned TF type events for an all nighter (the place is open all Saturday night), but as soon as I do I'll post details on here.

    Darkleaf watched with horror as the tentacles appeared, her eyes widening in terror. She clapped a tiny hand across her mouth to stifle a scream, but a small sound still managed to escape, a half squeak.

    As The Countess left the room Darkleaf decided it might be a good idea to follow, as oppose to staying alone with the gateway! On silent wings she flitted after her, trying to stay out of sight - curiosity getting the better her.

    Elizabeth stroked the surface three times slowly and it became like a dark liquid...
    From her vantage point, high above in the room, Darkleaf shrank back further against the wall. Her eyes wide watching the mirror, waiting to see if the dark tentacles that she'd encountered would come out and grab at the Shinobi.

    He looked around the room again seeming studying it, noticing the movement happening above him but not saying anything...

    I'm not sure if he would actually be able to see her from the hallway or the sitting room unless he were looking around the corner?..

    Here's a screenshot of where she's actually hiding in the room with the mirror, and a view down the corridor to the adjoining sitting room where Liz has taken him..



    From the where she's looking, the mirror is to her left in the room. Hope this helps!

  17. Unseen above everyone on the balcony Darkleaf edges silently on her tiny feet to the side nearest the doorway, still keeping a wary eye on the mirror which is still an open portal, and an ear toward the conversation in the lounge... She sits with her back to the wall, wings pressed up against it, knees drawn up to her chin and arms wrapped around her legs.
  18. Well, with the 15 computers already there, there should be enough
  19. Right! *she says looking nervously around*

    I would like to announce that I have organised a venue!

    Date: Saturday 25th September till Sunday 26th September 2010

    Location: The Net Adventure Cyber Cafe which incorporates GlobalGaming Arena. They are situated just around the corner from where Omega Sektor used to be. There's a map HERE, and they have off street car parking.

    Prices: Half day pass - 10am till 5pm / 5pm - midnight - £7
    All day - 10 am till midnight - £12
    All night - midnight till 10am - £12


    *Example 5pm Saturday till 5pm Sunday inlcuding all night £26

    GGA only has 15 computers BUT in their email back to me they say they have space for a further 8 computers in the main room, and another room which can also accommodate 8 more. So, if any of you would prefer to take your own computers they don't mind. I know that I'll be taking my laptop, as will a couple of other people that have said for definite that they're going.

    Hopefully will see lots of you there (I'll be the one disguised as a box).
  20. Ammon, all I can say is... Wow...

    Why aren't you a best selling author?

He watched carefully as the vampire weaved her magic in front of the strange mirror.
    Unnoticed and high above everyone in the room on a small balcony, level with the hanging cages and, to the left of the doorway crouched Darkleaf. She'd been sneaking in to the room on occasion to sit and watch the mirror. Although it had terrified her the last time she'd been anywhere near it, she'd developed a burning curiosity about it. She'd been watching the Countess for quite some time now.

    As the Lich and other person walked in to the room she stayed very still. Watching.
  22. Would anyone be interested in a meet up?... I'm going to try and organise something I think, in the UK, unless one of you lot would like the honour instead

    Looking to find out when you think would be a good time? Last weekend of September perhaps (25th-26th)? Out of season so hotels/B&B's would be cheap...

    Where? I'm looking at possible places with lots of PCs in Nottingham or Birmingham that wouldn't mind sticking CoX on their machines for a weekend, but any other suggestions for suitable places would be good!

    Trying to think of somewhere central, or at least easy to get to with places to stay and possibly touristy things to look at if folks get bored... Or beaches, I don't mind sand castles... Sorry, I'm rambling there...

    Also, I think we'd need about 30 computers maybe? Someone to install CoX or a trial version or something on all of them... some of those trial key card thingamies? Anything else? I've not really tried to organise anything like this before, so help is appreciated!
  23. No, Schmitt turned around and Jack had disappeared, run off. Is the way I read it.
