You call THAT roleplaying?

Logs

You say in xyllic: Well.. who should start, you or I?
Beron leans back against an old tree and gives you an oddly expressionless
look.
Beron says in xyllic: well, if you dont mind, i would like to know something
You nod solemnly.
Beron says in xyllic: good
Beron says in xyllic: i left this part of the realms when my father died. he
was the head of our family and i had to take care for my relatives and
continue the clan buisness for some times.
You nod slightly.
Beron says in xyllic: i told bianka about this before i had to leave - still
i did not knew that it would take me that long
Beron says in xyllic: however, i tried to reach her. i send her letters. many
letters. still i got no reply.
Beron says in xyllic: it can not be the mail system, because i could reach my
brother as well, at least until he ... until he ...
Beron fells silent for a moment
Beron says in xyllic: well, until whatever happened to him.
Beron says in xyllic: now i came back under circumstances i will not describe
to you. just that it was a long journey.
You sigh deeply.
Beron says in xyllic: my brother, is missing
You say in xyllic: Yes, he looks just like you ..
Beron says in xyllic: i came to live in peace as a warrior but the current
need of my guild made me already guardian again.
Beron says in xyllic: i tried to find out what happened to my beloved wife
and did not hear a single word about her. no one has seen her.
Beron says in xyllic: and the only person who does slaps me and tells me that
i am a bad husband
Beron looks directly into your eyes.
Beron says in xyllic: so either it is me who has become mad during my absence
Beron says in xyllic: or the world itself become - however, if i dont find
out what the hell happened here, it wont make any difference.
You say in xyllic: well, it is somehow comforting to see that you still seem
to care for her ..
Beron still looks at you ... there is an odd expression in his eyes. the
glance is cold ... but it seems he is just trying to hide his real emotions
benath that mask.
You say in xyllic: but I shall tell you things from my point of view
Beron says in xyllic: if i do care for her? can you imagine how it feels to
be that far away from home and do not hear a single word from her?
Beron sighs slightly.
Beron says in xyllic: but i am sorry. please speak.
You say in xyllic: maybe you can come, to this understanding that she has of
you
You say in xyllic: I met Miss Bianka a long, long time ago.. but while you
were still very far away, I believe, on this business
Beron nods slightly.
You say in xyllic: she was distraught, unhappy.. after many years of not
hearing from you
Beron closes his eyes and listens. You can somehow feel that it is not easy
for him not to draw his tschekal and start to cut something down.
You say in xyllic: To make a long story short, she let me read her life's
journal.
You say in xyllic: a monumental work that she has been compliling for more
than 50 years, I think
Beron nods, eyes still closed.
You say in xyllic: she had a hard life, Mr. Gil-Esthel.. but she found hope,
and redemption, because of you
You say in xyllic: she put her trust in you.. she put her heart with you, and
she credits you with much of her learning and rescue from a bad life
Beron nods again ... you can see him swallow.
You say in xyllic: then one day, you left for this trip.. this she did not
mind
You say in xyllic: but the years went by..
You say in xyllic: she missed you, but could find no word of you.. she left
to search for you, and when she returned she was peniless, and unrecognized
by her fellow guildmates
Beron opens his eyes again, looking at you, unbelieving.
You say in xyllic: ok, not all of them.. but the majority
You say in xyllic: she even had some scuffles I think with the shogun at that
time, or someone high ranking.. because they thought she was a bad satai
You say in xyllic: she was depressed, without hope, and convinced you had
taken the savings that you two compiled together and left her
You say in xyllic: the world as she saw it had seemed to turn against her,
including you..
Beron's eyes suddenly get a hurt impression.
You say in xyllic: and with your former position as her savior.. well, you
know what this can do to a person, espc. as she loved you.
Beron closes his eyes again, the face is almost expressionless. He nods.
Beron suddenly stands up again and begins to walk up and down.
You say in xyllic: I had a long talk with her.. and I hear, she made some
friends who also helped more than I..
Beron says in xyllic: but why ... why didnt she ...
Beron says in xyllic: why didnt she reply to the letters i send her then ?

 Beron stops and looks at you. You can see that something is within him.
Beron slowly shakes his head in disagreement.
Beron says in xyllic: i fear ... i begin to understand ...
Beron says in xyllic: but i should have known that ... how simpleminded of me
You say in xyllic: she said shse never received any letters.. though she was
away for a long time, too, searching for you
Beron suddenly feels weak, he looks hurt ... and very old for a moment.
Beron nods slightly.
You say in xyllic: all I know is, that I hear she was brought out of her
depression by a new savior..
You say in xyllic: and she no longer carries the name, Gil-Esthel
You say in xyllic: I'm sorry..
You emote: Blue gets quiet.

Beron does not reply for some time.
Beron says in xyllic: i understand.
You say in xyllic: I'm sorry to misinterpret and have punched you, but all I
knew was that you sounded like a money-hounding scoundrel who took advantage
of a fragile girl
Beron suddenly shakes a little, as if he needs to get rid of the weakness
that overcame him.
Beron says to you in xyllic: i understand your motives, and i do not blame
you for the punch.
Beron says to you in xyllic: as well as i fear i deserved it ... i do not
know what happened to my letters ... if she did not receive them or ...
You smile sadly at Beron.
You say in xyllic: Oh!
Beron says to you in xyllic: but i failed. i failed in another point. and
this was ...
Beron shakes his head in disagreement.
You say in xyllic: I also think, I met your brother and told him to contact
you
Beron says in xyllic: no, i can not speak about it
You say in xyllic: about this .. also a long, long time ago
Beron nods solemnly to you.
You say to Beron in xyllic: you need to say this things to her, not to me
Beron says in xyllic: this was before his disappereance. he wrote me about
it. he even told me that he met bianka once, but that she did not wanted to
speak with him, or had no time.
Beron sighs deeply.
Beron says in xyllic: anyhow, i thank you for your time blue - and the
information you brought.
Beron says in xyllic: you increased my pain considerably, psionic
Beron says in xyllic: but at least one of the 'riddles' is solved now
Beron frowns.
You nod solemnly to Beron.
You say in xyllic: good luck to you, Mr. Gil Esthel.. I hope you can help to
solve this pains now ..
Beron says in xyllic: i can not blame her for ... seeking hope ... with
someone else
Beron says in xyllic: if you see her, please tell her ...
Beron slowly shakes his head in disagreement.
Beron says in xyllic: tell her nothing. i need to speak with her by myself.
You nod understandingly to Beron.
Beron says in xyllic: well
Beron says in xyllic: all i can say is that i am feel sorry for how things
have turned out
Beron says in xyllic: however, i think i begin to understand the real mistake
i made
Beron sighs slightly.
Beron says in xyllic: it is the misunderstanding of the question of time
Beron says in xyllic: she is a human. i am an elf.
Beron says in xyllic: but i wont bother you with this any longer
Beron says in xyllic: thank you for helping me. but thank you even more for
helping her.
You smile sadly at Beron.
Beron looks at you ... his eyes show the same emotionless state as before.
You say in xyllic: that.. don't do that .. that is what hurt her the most
You emote: Blue points at your eyes.
You say in xyllic: my last request to you.
Beron says in xyllic: what do you mean ?
You say in xyllic: don't hide your emotions.. we are not made out of steel,
none of us
You say in xyllic: even the elves
Beron's voice is a bit unstable, as if he has to be careful to pronounce the
single words.
Beron says in xyllic: i ... am sorry. but
Beron says in xyllic: but if i do not find a way to seal my heart right now
Beron gives you another glance ... this time it looks as if he is beeing
hunted by something unseen. If he could speak with his eyes, he would
probably just shout for help now.
Beron says in xyllic: i need to leave.
Beron says in xyllic: take good care blue. and ...
You say in xyllic: Selyra guide your ways ..
Beron suddenly stops and hurries out of the garden.
Beron stretches his legs and stands up gracefully.
