"drugs..." said Jake "i don't understand that even though they fry your brain people still use em..."

"I really wish I was back in the jungle right now..." Adykon thought. "The air was clean, they didn't have drugs or garbage, and there were no overcrowded inns..."

Meanwhile...

"Mlasia, are you just going to lie there all day?" queried Sorian. She had done that before, frequently with female friends of hers...

"You should jooooinnn me, Sor. It's funnnn. It feels goooood." Came the reply.

"Right. I'm going to inseminate all of my other wives now. Feel free to join me." This was just a ploy on his part. It sometimes worked when he needed to move Mlasia from her spot...

Standing up, she was half-mad and jealous, but was too drugged out to focus much... "SOR! That's soo... messed up! Really I..." her legs were wobbling under her and her whole body trembled. She was quite attractive, especially in her current 'natural' state. Still, after going that way most of the time, those around her became desensitized to it... especially Sorian.

"You... I... wanna come with yooooouu." She was not doing so well. Sorian helped his wife back to a bed and got her some legitimate medicine to help her sleep; it would not react badly with the drug. He kissed her in the forehead and left the room.

'this place is.. depressing really" Minna said. These were the worst slums she had ever seen..apart from the crumbling buildings, drugs and filth , was the look of hopelessness on the faces of the dracons she passed.

Noname · **Reply #6164 on:** October 06, 2009, 02:50:09 AM

The Dracons around here, especially the females, practiced such hedonism because they had no hope. Since they could not look to better things, they saw no harm in enjoying themselves now... even if it was not healthy for them...

There seemed to be no other businesses in this part of the city except for inns and alcohol... and some loud musicians.

metadude1234 · **Reply #6165 on:** October 06, 2009, 02:53:11 AM

Jake looked around at all of the Dracons that looked extremely stoned or were drunk and unhappy. He felt sorry for them...

Noname · **Reply #6166 on:** October 06, 2009, 03:04:56 AM

Vespion saw a female dracon rubbing her tail, trying to make herself feel good. If nothing else, it served as a distraction. Something about this sort of behavior, about seeking pleasure instead of progress... it reminded him of people trying to bail out water from a ship sailing on a river; if the ship was still letting in water, treating the symptoms of it would not be enough... one would have to fix the source of it.

so rhiga, are there any relatives of yours around here?' Ilsa asked her..as they continued moving along, the smell giot worse.. it was soon overpowering, the sickly smell of drugs and the females, who relaxed in more and more lurid positions as they went along. minna recoiled from these females, who were so drugged up they had exposed thier intimates to all who walked past.. ' come here beautiful.. i need company ' one of them called to ilsa..

At this point, the party was going through a neighborhood for "used up" slaves who were set free to die... after being injured or sickened with no hope of recovery, Dracon slaves were often let go... only to die. Here, several tenements was filled past the limit with the "refuse" of society.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #6169 on:** October 06, 2009, 08:34:44 PM

As they entered the slums, a badly hurt and ill Dracon female crawled to Kuja, pleading for water. Kuja gazed at her for a moment, then placed a hand to her head, casting a white magic spell.
"Stand, dear woman. Go, and find your life again."
He said softly, and then set about trying to help others, with Akio and Ruka at his side...

Akito shook his head.
"Such cruelty...'tis almost as bad as the cruelty that was practiced to Fauxen..."
He said sadly...

Kyuichi, on the other hand, scoffed.
"Trash like this. What good is there in leaving them their lives? Just kill them and be done with them, I believe..."
He sneered...

"Now now... be nice" Selturma said to Kyuichi, her normal enthusiasm gone. Normally, she would have been happier, but between Vaeri's death, the unexpected teleportation to Hekaga, the horrible inn, the lack of sleep, and the depressing sights, sounds, and smells of the streets, she wasn't feeling too happy.

To make matters worse, she was tired and hungry. It also didn't help that her back hurt; it was full of stress-induced knots and was sore due to her uncomfortable sleep the night before. Her feet were killing her as well; these streets were unpaved and very rough.

"We can be good and give this people some relief, but that will change nothing, because after we get out of this city, the situation will keep as if we were never came here... there will be no difference." - Arianne said sadly.... her mind was still troubled by the loss of Vaeri, and her body was also hurting, due to the bad night and the awful smells and sights of this city.

Eriol placed an arm around his wife's shoulders, trying to cheer her up some bit. he then commented. - "Many years ago, I was in danger of becoming a slave... I am grateful that never happened. But I still know some of the pain this people here has to suffer. But Arianne is right, we cannot make a difference by ourselves, more has to be done in order to turn "this" into a real society." - he sighs - "... but we do have our own problems too... if that demon triumphs, there will be no society to try to change. There will be nothing... and if he triumphs, then what could stop him from trying to conquer our homeland too?."

The party eventually came to a fetid, stinking tenement. It was getting warmer in the day, and the sun was beating down on them. One of Rhiga's half-sisters lived in this sad place. "Hold on. I'll go in and get her out." Rhiga said.

She had to tell her younger sister that their mother was dead. There was nothing for her now. No hope in Hekaga.

"Plythia! Are you in here?" Rhiga asked. The smell was bad, but Rhiga has experienced worse. Walking up the splintered wooden stairs, Rhiga felt the soft skin of her toes get cut just a bit... that hurt. She used to have to live with splinters all the time... she was used to it.

Nick22 · **Reply #6173 on:** October 07, 2009, 12:16:32 AM

marcus went in after Rhiga.., the boards cracked as he walked up, this place was filthy, and looked like it would easily collapse in a storm.. 'wait up rhiga.' he called out..
Minna and Ilsa went about, trying to help the dyingas best they could.. many were in thier last throes..

Noname · **Reply #6174 on:** October 07, 2009, 12:20:24 AM

Plythia was a teenage Dracon girl who had a pale white belly, red skin, and unusually good balance for her age. Her mother had wanted to train her as a dancer when she returned... but now, she would never get that chance.

It was Marcus who found her first. She looked like a younger version of her mother, but with slightly different horns and a slightly different shade of skin.

Nick22 · **Reply #6175 on:** October 07, 2009, 12:27:35 AM

Plythia? marcus asked kindly.. " my name is marcus, i'm the fiance of rhiga, your sister,, we've come to take you with us.: he said looking at her,

Noname · **Reply #6176 on:** October 07, 2009, 12:34:17 AM

(OOC: Please fix the spelling on that, Nick. Thanks)

"Fiance? You mean, Rhiga wants to marry you?" Plythia asked incredulously. "I don't believe you. Rhiga would never tie herself down to one male. Mom didn't either."

Nick22 · **Reply #6177 on:** October 07, 2009, 12:38:52 AM

(Fixed) "well its true, marcus said. ' i wouldn;t have said it, if it wasn't true.. I'm going to marry your sister, but i'm afraid we have some very bad news for you.."

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #6178 on:** October 07, 2009, 02:28:32 AM

Kuja and Akio joined Minna and Ilsa, tending to the ill and dying, as did Ruka.
Akito, Touga, Miki, Juri and Utena all stood in the house, each tending to others as best as they could...

Noname · **Reply #6179 on:** October 07, 2009, 02:40:27 AM

Plythia laughed. It sounded like Vaeri... it was an uncanny resemblance. "Rhiga once told me that she would never marry. Why should I believe you? Is this some sort of a trick?"

"No, sister, it is true" Rhiga said as she entered the room.

Plythia's eyes widened as it dawned on her. For the first time in memory, someone in her family was marrying, a female no less. "Sister!" the young female ran over to hug Rhiga. After a long embrace, the two of them separated and began to talk about what had happened.

"You see, Plythia... I went to the city of Minbenthac. There, I met a group of adventurers who went on a journey with me to a lost city. After we returned, I met Marcus here and we decided to marry... but on the day of the wedding, I was taken by an evil overlord who threatens us all... he threatens everything. Once I was freed by my fellow adventurers, we had intended to return to Minbenthac, but something went from with the magic which was to take us there... so we ended up here."

Hardly believing what she was hearing, the teenage half-sister could only sit there, wide-eyed.

Continuing, Rhiga had to go to the most unpalatable part of her story...

"We met mother on the journey to the lost city. She had been taken prisoner, so we freed her... but..." Rhiga's mouth trembled and tears welled up in her eye "... she was killed by the evil lord that we are fighting. That's it. She's dead... gone... buried."

"What?! Mother...! No!" Plythia cried, hugging her half-sister once again. After many long minutes of sobbing, Rhiga was able to continue, speaking through the tears... "Since mother is no longer with us, you have nothing here now. I'm here to take you away from Hekaga, away from this... pit of a city."
