The lovers' drama.
#1
((To be as truthfull to the RP as possible, I decided to simply copy/paste directly the logs from Elephant. If anyone wants visual detail, you're free to add Leonard to your friendlist and tag along to watch OOCly next time one of these little RPs occur.))

--Leonard reaches the catacombs--

22:05:50 Leonard looks at the wall that's visually different than the others, poking it with his sword. Eventually a brick slides in, and the wall itself moves. He walks in warily. "...That was awesome!"

22:06:08 Leonard eyes the gates, and frowns.

22:07:04 Leonard waves at the Acherus necromancer. "Hey! Can you open up for me?"
22:07:37 The guard blinks at the Gnome. "Who are you?"

22:08:15 Leonard smiles warmly. "I'm Leonard Airslicer. Is this place a tool?I have money if you need!" He grabs a purse filled to the brim with gold coins, that he won at the tourney a few days ago. He waves it in the air, smiling sincerely at the guard.
22:15:29 The guard narrows her gaze at him. "You shouldn't be here."

22:15:52 Leonard smiles warmly at her. "I'll just look around. I swear. What can an old gnome do, any way?"
22:16:27 Acherus Necromancer says: You're in over your head, little man.

22:16:41 Leonard blinks. "Of course. Look at my size!"

22:18:31 The plaguehounds behind the guard growl menacingly as they slowly approach the gate, teeth bared and saliva dripping from their fangs. "You should go, stranger."

22:19:54 Leonard arches his brows. "But... I can take care of myself. You don't have to worry. I fought in the second war, see. General Airslicer, yes. I fought so I could return to my wife again." He beams a smile at the guard.

22:20:57 Acherus Necromancer says: The only reason I'd open these gates is to let the hounds loose on you. Turn back before that ends up being your fate.

22:21:45 Leonard sighs. "B-but..."

22:22:12 Leonard smiles weakly at the guard.

22:22:12 Acherus Necromancer says: ...three...

22:22:15 [Leonard]: I can't.

22:22:25 [Leonard]: I must... check every corner of this world even if it costs my life

22:22:56 Leonard looks at the ground, his smile still resting on his lips. "Until I find Kimee again..."

22:22:59 Acherus Necromancer says: ... two...

22:23:54 Leonard unsheathes his sword. "I'm sorry. I realize you're just doing your job."

22:25:08 Leonard closes his eyes, and sheathes his sword. "...Fine, lad. Can you just answer me two questions, then, and I'll be on my way?"

22:25:19 Acherus Necromancer says: Make it quick.

22:25:29 [Leonard]: Would you know the name of everyone that enters this place?

22:26:47 Acherus Necromancer says: No.

22:26:52 Leonard blinks his eyes.

22:27:05 [Leonard]: Then how do you know who to let in and who not to?

22:27:24 Acherus Necromancer says: That's enough questions.

22:27:40 Leonard sighs.

22:27:56 [Leonard]: But if I don't know if Kimee is there or not, I really can't leave. I can't afford not to check
.
22:29:33 Acherus Necromancer says: ... one...

22:35:09 The guard draws her wand and flicks it in Leonard's direction. Immediately, his tongue would stick to the roof of his mouth, stopping any coherent speech. "Hmph. You'll come quietly, then."
22:35:47 Leonard blinks. He smiles at her and nods.

22:36:15 The guard twirls her finger. "Turn around, wrists behind your back."

22:36:35 Leonard does what she says.

22:37:15 The guard flicks her wrist once again and thin rope of arcane tangles itself around the Gnome's wrists. "Right, this will do."

22:37:31 Leonard turns around, and nods at her.
22:37:36 You nod.

22:38:06 The guard flicks her head to the side. "Go."

22:39:16 Leonard frowns.

22:39:32 Leonard jumps several times so the guard can see him.

22:39:37 Acherus Necromancer says: What the hell?

22:39:51 Leonard nods at the gate.

22:40:02 The guard sighs. "Liz is too damn lazy to bring the prisoners down herself? f**k, man."

22:41:19 Leonard does the same to the next guard.

22:41:46 The guard opens the gate and grabs the Gnome by the back of his armor, leading him to the prison.

22:41:57 Leonard blinks his eyes.

22:42:52 You nod at Acherus Necromancer.

22:43:20 Leonard is tossed unceremoniously into the prison, the iron doors creaking shut behind him. "Got another one here. Didn't want to leave. Well.. now he won't."
22:44:21 The guard removes the binds, but nothing more. The Gnome would remain silenced.
Leonard sighs. Leaving him with his weapons was certainly a mistake. He unsheathes his sword and waits patiently. They'd have to be fed eventually.
22:49:36 Kimee scrunches her nose as she approaches the prison. "Minerva, darling... I've just been informed that we have a new guest."
22:50:27 Minerva nods inside. "Some old Gnome... didn't want to leave when asked and was taken captive willingly..."

22:51:25 Kimee comes closer to the gate. "Willingly? What's he on about, then?"
22:52:22 Minerva shrugs boredly. "You want him?"

22:53:27 [Kimee]: Hmph. Probably some spy from those Axes of Summer, or whatever they're called. Yes I'd like a word with him.

22:54:26 Minerva looks down at Kimee. "You mean Blades of Autumn?"
22:55:08 Leonard has his sword ready, and is otherwise somewhat away from sight.

22:55:45 The gates creak open, and the two ghouls that flank the guard enter and grab ahold of the Gnome.

22:56:31 Leonard leaps back. Ghouls? FFFFF- He wasn't expecting ghouls! He sighs, sheathing his sword.

22:57:41 The Gnome is dragged along the dirt floor toward Kimee's chambers.

22:59:38 Leonard is totally dragged. Is he inside?

23:00:02 You look around.

23:00:45 Leonard looks at Kimee, narrowing his eyes. He unsheathes his rapier without saying a word and dashes towards her. Then again, he really can't speak so.

23:01:32 Kimee holds out her left hand and pushes Leonard away with a bit of arcane energy.

23:03:36 Leonard is pushed back, sweeped off his feet. He flips like the boss he is, landing on the ground and in position to rush at Kimee again. His sword is ready, but he's obviously hesitating.

23:04:50 Kimee quirks a brow, but doesn't turn, holding up a small vial in her right hand to eye-level. "You will only die tired if you continue to fight me."

23:05:18 Leonard raises a brow when he hears her voice. He sheathes his sword and tugs her clothes.

23:06:30 Kimee frowns at the feel of his tugging. "And I would quite appreciate it if you didn't get your filthy hands all over my robes." She turns her head to look at him, still scowling from his daring
.
23:07:01 Leonard tugs her clothes stronger. Damn woman won't turn around!

23:07:43 Kimee finally turns, but only to send her heel to the man's face

23:08:49 Leonard backs off. He lets go of her hand and pulls his head back enough to dodge the blow, melee being his expertise and all. He looks to Kimee, after a few seconds his eyes opening so wide his monocle falls to the ground.

23:09:58 Kimee maintains that scowl frozen across her face and, after a few moments of her eyes scanning the Gnome, her lips twist into a smirk. "Well well, he's still alive."
23:11:32 Leonard blinks several times. He opens his mouth and points to his tongue, glued to the sky of his mouth
23:12:19 Kimee only smirks even wider at this, but flicks her wrist and the curse is removed. "But not for long, no. How ironic."
"
23:12:45 [Leonard]: Kimee!

23:13:07 Leonard smiles warmly at her, a tear running down his face. "I thought you... I thought you were..."

23:13:30 Kimee holds up a hand to silence him. "Dead? No, not yet. But I am trying."

23:13:41 [Leonard]: What?

23:14:02 Kimee frowns a bit. "Never were one for wit, were you, Leo?"

23:14:46 Leonard smiles weakly at her. "I usually left that part to my wife." his smile dies as he continues. "Though I'm unaware as to why she wasn't home when I returned from war."

23:15:36 [Leonard]: ...I abandoned my job... our home... And searched for you ever since. I- I lost track of the years.

23:16:01 Kimee narrows her eyes. "That's hardly my problem, is it, Leo?"
23:16:49 [Leonard]: Why did you leave?
23:18:09 Kimee turns her back on him. "I had my reasons," she says, snatching a small vial from the table. "But it hardly matters now, and there's no need for you to trouble your mind when in a few minutes it will no longer be your own, hmm?"

23:18:27 [Leonard]: What are you talking about, Kimee?

23:18:29 [Leonard]: Have you gone insane?

23:19:14 Kimee removes the cover of said vial. "Sanity is a point of view, my dear." She turns and holds out the vial. "Now be a good... -husband-... and drink this."

23:19:43 Leonard narrows his eyes at her. "Kim... What have you done to yourself...?"
23:24:24 Leonard sighs. He reaches for the vials and eyes it, smiling weakly at Kimee. "Why do I believe my wife is poisoning me?" He smiles, drinking whichever venom lied in there willingly. Before it's effects could work, he glances at her. "...I still love you. And I'm happy I got to see you again."
3:25:34 Kimee shrugs, her scowl fading to one of apathy and sadness. "Sit in the corner there after you've finished."

23:27:31 Leonard nods. "...I just wish... I could see our son next." another tear runs down his face as he walks to where she appointed.

23:29:27 Kimee closes her eyes, her head coming to a soft bow, and she opens a small cabinet filled with tiny stones upon which a rune is carved. She takes one in her hand and whispers into it, and not long after that a faint violet light would be emitted from between her fingers.

23:31:53 Leonard looks at her, worried.

23:32:13 [Leonard]: R-runes... I r-remember when you teached me about them...

23:34:32 Kimee lowers her fist, still emitting the faint violet light. "Be silent, Leo."

23:37:18 Leonard doesn't say anything. If Kimee looked he'd realize he still stared at her, his eyes teary, but in his lips resting the warmest smile the Gnome had ever bestowed upon anyone.

23:40:13 Kimee casually tosses the stone aside, and the image of some snowy lands come into view within a misty sphere. "Get up, Leo. We are leaving." She holds out a hand to him.

23:41:30 Leonard stands up, and only afterwards grabs her hand, holding it tightly with his. He still smiles at Kimee, but is silent.

23:42:11 Kimee 's face remains blank, though she makes a point of not meeting Leo's eyes with her own as she pulls him into the portal.
23:48:18 Leonard blinks his eyes. "What's this?"

23:49:36 Kimee brings a gloved hand to brush off the dirt and snow that had accumulated over the words on the tombstone. "...it's our son," she says, not looking at Leo and taking a step back to reveal the name carved into the stone.

23:50:19 Leonard falls on his knees. "N...no..."

23:50:21 You kneel down.

23:52:23 [Leonard]: H...how...?

23:52:54 Kimee maintains her stoic expression, and even in the chill of the Dun Morogh air, she remains unflinching to it, but looks down at Leo. "Died of sickness while you were at war."

23:55:13 Leonard shakes his head. "No... no... what did I... fight for...? I killed... so many just to come back to..." Leonard doest finish, burrying his face in the snow.

23:58:25 Kimee straightens her posture. "I have given you what you wished." She turns to walk away and takes a few steps before stopping to look back at him. "And if there is anything resembling intelligence in that head of yours, stay clear of the tombs. I have given the order to kill any who trespass from here on."

23:58:46 [Leonard]: ...

23:58:51 [Leonard]: Then I'll be dead by the morning.

23:59:04 [Leonard]: ...I'll join my son... and my wife.

00:00:49 Kimee narrows her eyes at his back. "Who do you think you are? What do you think you will accomplish with any of this nonsense? It is over. Both your son and wife are dead, and here you are grieving after so many years. Tell me, why do you plague your mind with such foolishness?"

00:01:56 Leonard glances over his shoulder. "...Because I love you. I love you and our son more than I've loved anything in this world... By your request I'd take my very life, if it's what would make you happy. What does this old fool has besides his wife to rely on now that his boy is dead?"

00:03:55 Kimee shakes her head once. "What you love is a memory. There is nothing in this rotting body that was once your wife. Were it not to revel in the pain the sight of your deceased son would bring, you would not have left my chambers alive. But I will warn you once more to keep your distance."

00:04:21 [Leonard]: Then you can kill me right now, my beloved.
00:04:33 [Leonard]: For with no wife nor soon, this shell holds me no longer any purpose.

00:05:18 [Kimee]: But my dear, what vengeance would there be if I were to end your suffering by my hand here and now?

00:06:03 [Leonard]: ...Vengeance?

00:07:20 Kimee glares at him. "You left her. When she had no one, you left to fight some war that had nothing to do with your kind. And in your absense the only family she had left died in her very arms, and you were nowhere. No, Leo... I intend to make you feel the same pain you made her feel all these long years."

00:08:22 [Leonard]: ...I didn't leave you, Kimee. You know as well as I do that had I not left for war, they would brand us both traitors and kills us both. I did it so you and our son could be safe even at the cost of my own life.

00:09:40 [Kimee]: And marvel at how well that worked.

00:09:58 [Leonard]: ...What happened to you, my love?

00:10:19 [Leonard]: Where in that body that mirrors hers, is hidden my kind wife?

00:11:51 [Kimee]: She died at the same instant as her son.

00:12:47 [Leonard]: Then their father may as well join them.

00:13:01 Leonard unsheathes his sword, aiming the tip to his own neck.

00:14:31 Kimee raises a brow. "So soon? You do not feel the punishment for your choices is just, my love? Is it fair for your loving wife to have been made to suffer for decades and you, as her half, not share in it?"

00:15:00 [Leonard]: Not suffer?

00:15:16 [Leonard]: I spent all those years roamind the land searching for you, Kimee.

00:15:38 [Leonard]: What makes you think I did not suffer? You at the very least, knew our son's fate.

00:15:54 [Leonard]: Do you have any idea how much the doubt of your safety and his own killed me? Every day, every night.

00:15:54 [Kimee]: Too little, too late, Leo. You weren't there when we needed you.

00:16:43 [Leonard]: Indeed.

00:16:58 [Leonard]: And now there is nothing else for me to do, but give the woman I love her revenge.

00:20:22 [Kimee]: I will leave you to decide your own fate.

00:21:11 Leonard prods the sword against his neck. "...I have no further reason to live. There's no hope. For all these years, you suffered knowing the truth. While I tried not to while living a lie."

00:22:21 [Kimee]: Then prove to us both how weak you truly are. How weak you've always been. Yes, take the easy road. Take your life to avoid what you deserve.

00:23:11 Leonard glances at the gravestone before dropping his sword. "You want your revenge? Than take it now. Torture me, rip me apart."

00:23:26 [Leonard]: ...There's no pain greater than the one I felt today.

00:24:03 [Kimee]: Precisely. And so I would be wasting my time torturing you when the greater pain is leaving you here to rot just as you left me.

00:24:47 Leonard glances at her. "Indeed."

00:24:55 [Leonard]: 'tis what I must deserve.

00:27:09 Leonard glances over his shoulder, and smiles warmly at Kimee.

00:27:37 [Leonard]: ...If there is but one pleasure left for me is to see how after all this years you're still... utterly beautiful.

00:29:36 Kimee 's jaw slackens a bit and for a split second, but she immediately turns her head away and clenches her jaw shut, glaring at the snow below her.

00:31:27 [Leonard]: Even as you are now... You're still my wife. The one I vowed to spend the rest of my life with.
00:31:37 Leonard turns around. "The one I'm still willing to do it."

00:33:46 Kimee 's breathing is loud and heavy as if angry, which she is, but she doesn't turn her head toward Leo.

00:34:50 Leonard walks towards her slowly. "Do you truly hate me that much?"

00:37:02 Kimee lifts her head to look at him, her own eyes as teary as his were before. "...I don't hate you, Leo." She smiles faintly and unnaturally.

00:39:03 Leonard suddenly wraps his arms around Kimee, holding her tightly. "...I loved you all these years, Kimee. And I still do."

00:41:07 Kimee 's form fades and in a flash of light materializes behind Leo, her back to him as she looks down at their son's tombstone. "It is too late, my love. Far too late." She runs a hand gently down the marking on the stone before looking over her shoulder at him. "I ask you not to come looking for me again."

00:42:16 [Leonard]: ...That is the only thing I will never do for you, darling. It's the only thing I can't do.

00:44:43 Kimee looks to the tomb again. "I... I did this for him. I thought I could bring him back..." She goes silent for a few moments before shaking her head.

00:45:55 Leonard looks at her. He walks to her untill he's standing next to her and puts a hand on her shoulder. "You tried your best, I am sure. He couldn't have a better mother."

00:47:18 Kimee moves her shoulder away from Leo's touch and turns her back on him. "Take care, Leo."

00:47:55 [Leonard]: ...You too, Kim. I'll be seeing you soon. Hopefully sooner than both of us expect.

00:50:12 Kimee starts walking forward and stops after a few meters to turn and look at Leo. From under her there forms a circle of a deep purple, and not long afterward the energies it emits surrounds her like a wind storm, leaving nothing standing where she once stood.

00:51:15 Leonard would look at her as she walks, his usual warm smile resting on his lips. He'd mutter "I love you" before she disappears, but the potion had finally had effect, making the Gnome fall asleep just as Kimee disappears.

((...Yes, even the english mistakes. It's 1:20 AM. I might check them in the morning, but either way, I don't believe it's impossible to understand any sentence.))
