Cup 011: Iroh [Video]

[Iroh looks like he's in some store. It's hard to tell, because it's somewhat dark. Iroh looks rather winded and on high alert.]

Those creatures out there are dangerous. I don't know if anyone else has dealt with them, but they don't go down without a fight.

[The camera angle shifts. The shelves behind Iroh are filled with what looks like bricks and wheels of cheese. A natural hiding place, it is.]

If anyone's out there, find somewhere to hide. You shouldn't be out alone.

[Dende nods in understanding]

It would be foolhardy without knowing what you're facing. Of course from what I remember there are many at the manor just headstrong enough to attempt something like that. Although just sitting in wait seems just as dangerous...

[Dende looks up at the shelves of cheese and lets out a chuckle]

Well at least we've got plenty of suplies.

That is true. But I'd rather not sit around here and wait to be found and attacked.

[In the meantime, Iroh's going to grab a wedge of brie and nibble the edge.]

True, but hopefully with the two of us we should be able to fend off our attackers long enough to make an escape.

[Dende decides to follow Iroh's lead, but rather than going for some cheese he materializes a small cup of water to sip on.]

[Iroh notices Dende's new trick.]

That is a useful ability.

[He thinks as he eats his cheese.]

Let's make a break for it. We can do it together, I'm sure. Comfortable though this place is, it won't be long before they find us.

Ah, it's called magic materialization. It's a skill unique to my people. I can create any material object so long as I know what it is.

[Dende smiles and nods]

That sounds like a good plan. Any idea of where to head next?

[Iroh shakes his head.]

Wherever everyone else is, I guess. There is strength in numbers.

Well hopefully we will fond someone eventually... I don't suppose you have seen any of these Kishin fly have you?

[if they couldn't then it may make escaping safely much more easy...]

I don't think so. Somehow, though, I wouldn't put it past them to do so.

Well that will certainly make this easier. Should we make a go for it?

[Hope you don't mind flying Iroh....]

Why not? Let's try.

[He rolls up his sleeves.]

I'm ready.

[Dende crouches, ready to sprint]

As am I.

[Oh he can't help but be a bit on the excited side. This is the first time he's ever gotten to do something like this! It was exhilerating! Of course he still tried to keep himself calm, he didn't want to do something foolish...but he couldn't hide the grin on his face.]

Then let's not delay.

[Iroh goes to the door and kicks it open. He looks left, then right, but sees nothing. Yet.]

Come on.

[Flames simmering around his hand, he takes off down the street.]

[Dende follows, keeping an interested eye on the flames under Iroh's control. As soon as they reached a safer area Dende was definitly going to ask him about that. It looked like quite an interesting skill. oh wait. right he's supposed to be helping here too. Dende forms a small Ki-blast in his hand, just in case. So far there's nothing.]

Iroh, if things get dangerous on the ground I hope you wouldn't be adverse to flying?

[He casts a quick side glance to Iroh, but still keeping a close watch on their suroundings]

[Iroh gives Dende a quick look as he runs.]

I take it you can fly, then? By all means, do. It'll be quite the experience for me.

[Still nothing yet, but Iroh's wary. His warrior senses are buzzing. This isn't a safe place.]

Alright then!

[While running Dende ducks a bit and swings Iroh's arm over shoulder]

Hold on Iron!

[Wrapping his other arm behind Iroh's back for some added support, Dende takes off high into the air. He quickly finds a nice tall building to perch on. Gently he sets Iroh down. He would've remained skyborn longer, but he didn't want to drop Iroh if they were attacked in the air... besides Iroh was a bit heavy ~~someone's been indulging the French quisine a bit much eh Iroh?~~

Hopefully the rooftop would be a safe enough place to get there barings. While not entirely inaccessable to those wandering around, it was hopefully just troublesome enough to discourage any unwanted guests]

[Iroh brushes the dust from his robes. ~~don't blame him. It's darn good!~~]

An extraordinary trick. Thank you, Dende. Hopefully we'll be safe up here.

[Iroh looks about, hand shading his eyes from the sun.]

I cannot see anyone else. You have younger eyes, Dende; what do you see?

Ah thank you... it's not that amazing really...

[he rubs the back of his neck shyly]

Ah... let's see...

[Dende closes his eyes. Unfortunately he couldn't sense the kishin as they had no life force, the other members of the manor, however, were a different story]

Most of the people from the manor are in pairs... a few groups of three... maybe a bit more... but they are all very scattered, no large groups. I can't sense any of the kishin though.

Troubling.

[Iroh strokes his beard in thought.]

There is safety in numbers. I suggest we find the nearest residents of the manor. Where are they?

[Dende leans over the side, looking off into the distance for a moment before turning back to Iroh]

Right... they are... to the North. Should we fly again? Or would you rather travel by foot?

[Iroh considers.]

Do you have enough strength to fly any longer? I can walk by foot if you're not up to it.

Ah! Of course... well at least for part of the distance...

[and a nervous neck rub, he's not keen on admiting his physical frailties even though he's got quite a few of them]

It's not that distance that I have a issue with... um...well you're just a little bit heavier than I thought you would be... I'm sorry....

[Iroh laughs.] It comes from a life of good eating and relaxation. And the food in this city is far too good not to eat.

[Dende chuckles]

I must admit I do recall them having amazing pastries...

[He sighs]

It's a shame that the Author doesn't allow us to relax more, this place would be much more bearable...

Indeed. Though I feel I had plenty of relaxation last week. Too good to last in a place like this, I suppose. But it was wonderful while it lasted.

[He sighs and folds his hands together.]

To business, then.

Unfortunately I don't recall much other than the sweets, I was rather new to eating at the time... and became rather enthralled with them...

[he chuckles]

But yes to business.

[Dende bends down a bit and reaches out to Iroh]
