More surprises ("semi-open")

[Chingaso]

Chingaso in Orgrimmar. Typical day. Chingaso think on many thing.

Chikana; sister appear, then disappear as quick. Chingaso never hear word, have to ask trainers to hear any news. Latest news is abandon train. Chingaso not no where sister.

Vilmah; warboss stay nice to Chingaso, even though elemental of Core abduct and burn. And still have eye for troll. Chingaso stay friend becasue Vilmah good friend, but also maintain hope of someday.

Shaggy; still convince must hang self from tree three day for some kind of purify. Chingaso agree stand guard, not sure can stand though. Pain of Shaggy will burn Chingaso like elemental burn Vilmah. Shaggy say be change after ritual. Chingaso think be change as well. Chingaso fear change for worst, not best.

Lelenia; elf continue have feel for Chingaso. Latest escapade, Chaindog "arrange" meet, Chingaso find self in catacomb under Cathedral of Light in Stormwind! No explain from Lelenia or Chaindog. Chingaso think be kill, but after talk elf, use stone escape before detect by all but one very young paladin.

And Chaindog; quickly become one of favorite hunt friend Chingaso. Troll know much of hunt, make for good hunt every time. Much productive. Become very good friend. Friend. Word sometime cut Chingaso to bone.

Grim; Chingaso still unsure of Lascivious leadership. But as good Grim, Chingaso continue to follow loyal, just watch close.

As Chingaso walk down drag, see something unusual, something remind Chingaso of old friends not see many month, triplet shaman of Grim. Three orc sister walk side-by, look too much alike not be sister. But something odd, she-orc all have bluish tint to skin. Like Chingaso. Like only of Bloodfoot. But Chingaso father always say no other Bloodfoot survive great war.

Now Chingaso not know what think...

[Gorvena]

So, there we are, minding our own business, walking through Orgrimmar. Me, Gor'vena the warrior, Gor'oka the rogue, and Gor'rena (who, oh how embarrassing, insists that we call her Maca'rena...), enjoying the sights and sounds of the big city for the first time. Still new to the Horde, we have made our way into town for some shopping and relaxation between training.

Anyway, we're walking down the drag, near the bag vendor, when Gor'oka pulls up short and points. To a really big, imposing looking orc. In a Grim tabard. With a pet raptor...

"Oh my god! It's that Chingaso guy we've heard of!" whispers Maca'rena. "He's like famous and stuff!"

"Yeah," says Gor'oka, "but why does he look Just. Like. Daddy?"

[Chingaso]

Chingaso see sisters stop, look at Chingaso, point and whisper. Oh, goody...

Sisters approach. One say, "Hey, are you that Chingaso guy we've heard so much about? You're like famous and all that."

Other sister eyeball Chingaso and start say, "What I want to know is why you look..." before cut short by third sister.

"Please excuse our rudeness," third orcess say, "My name is Gor'vena, and these are my sisters Gor'oka and Gor'rena, er, Maca'rena," correcting self when third girl give dirty look. "We're really new to serving the Horde, and never expected to run into one like you, who we've heard so much about."

"Hm," say Chingaso, "good things, Chingaso hope, but that depend on where hear."

"Oh, yes, only good things." say Gor'vena.

"So," say Chingaso, "anything Chingaso do for sisters?" Chingaso still have strange sensation of familiar...

[Gorvena]

"Well, thanks so much. We'll have to think about that. But it was really cool to meet you." I said. Man, he was huge!

"Safe travels, then," Chingaso said as he walked away, a troubled look on his face.

"Well, that was just totally rude," Gor'oka spat at me. "Why'd you cut me off like that? Don't you want to know why he looks so much like our father?"

I looked her straight in the eye, and calmly said, "'oka, do you realize who that was just now? Have you heard of the Grim? Do you realize that if you startle or upset him he's just as likely to feed you to his raptor as say hello? Besides, he already looked disturbed and somewhat unhappy. Do you really think that it would have been a good idea to blurt out something about, 'Are you my father?' or some such?"

Gor'oka calmed down a bit, and said, "Yeah, I guess you're right. But, geez! He looks just like daddy!"

"Yes, I noticed it too," I said. "And I'll do some asking around, see what I can find out. But until then, leave the poor guy alone. I've heard stories about how sometimes he can't hunt in peace for all of the people wanting to talk to him because he's famous."

Maca'rena looked disappointed. "But, he's like so totally awesome. You mean I can't like talk to him and junk?"

"'rena, I don't think he'd mind talking to you, just don't bother him. Ok?"

We all nodded our heads in agreement. This was something I would definitely have to do some investigating on.

[Chingaso]

As Chingaso walk back toward Grim Hall, think on meet with sisters. One call Gor'oka seem ready to ask something but other stop. What question?

And why girls look so familiar? Maybe Chingaso just miss Chikana much and look for similar. But skin hue...

[Gorvena]

So, I decided to start my investigations "high-up." As I was wandering around the Barrens looking for tin (because, really, just how much copper can a girl dig up before she's just sick of the stuff), I was fiddling around with my hearthstone and found Vilmah, the Warboss of Sanctuary. Now I have heard that she is friends with this Chingaso, so I decided to ask some questions.

Under the pretense of asking warrior advice (sounded good to me, and she certainly opened up), I began some slow push-and-prod type of questions about how Chingaso might react to finding out he had relatives he didn't know about.

Because, from what I can tell, he has to be the son of our father's brother, uncle Gor'sir, who father absolutely hated. We never got any details about him, but something happened before the orcs were abducted to Azeroth that put a rift between the two that was never closed. And according to daddy, Gor'sir told people he had no brother, that he and his family were the only remaining Bloodfoot.

Gah.

Vilmah was so nice, and had some nice suggestions, saying that Chingaso would probably be fine with knowing who we were, that he wasn't nearly as mean and evil as his reputation...

I wish I knew what to do. I know for sure that I can't ask daddy...

[Chingaso]

Chingaso sit in tavern in Brill, relax from slay scourge in Plaguelands.

Look to door and see in walk Gor'vena. Chingaso strike again as how familiar look. Why strange girl look like family Chingaso?

Gor'vena see Chingaso and walk over. "Hiya, Chingaso! How've ya been?"

"Chingaso good, just tire," Chingaso answer. "Slay many in war against scourge."

"Ooh, gawd that sounds so dangerous. I hope you're being careful." say Gor'vena.

"Chingaso careful, but Chingaso also Bloodfoot orc. Bloodfoot orc spirit never die true death, always return stronger." Chingaso see Gor'vena look odd when say family name. "Gor'vena ok? Look strange."

Gor'vena shake head brief and say, "No, I'm ok Chingaso. Must've been the odor of the undead in here or something." Chingaso not sure true, but say ok.

"By the way," say Gor'vena, "I ran into a friend of yours recently. A really nice orc named Vilmah. She's like Warboss of a big guild named Sanctum or something like that. She seems to be a pretty good friend of yours."

"Vilmah?" say Chingaso. "Where Gor'vena see Vilmah? Oh, and it Sanctuary, not Sanctum."

"Whatever," answer Gor'vena. "Well, I didn't so much see her as hear her on my 'stone and spoke to her a bit. She had some awesome suggestions for my warrior training."

"Chingaso hope Gor'vena not bother Vilmah," Chingaso say. "Vilmah very busy, very important."

"Oh, no, she was really nice to me and very helpful," say Gor'vena. "She said I could contact her any time."

"Well, ok, but Gor'vena be nice like Vilmah and remember Vilmah important and busy. So, how sisters?" Chingaso ask.

"'oka and 'rena? They're slackers," say Gor'vena. "The both got through the tenth season of their training and now 'oka just disenchants things while'rena plays with flowers and makes potions and stuff."

"Enchanter and Alchemist important," say Chingaso. "Also very important to train. Gor'vena remember and not judge sisters too harsh. Chingaso have sister who not train any. Chingaso very disappoint."

"I heard something about her," say Gor'vena. "Her name is like, Chikana or something? I didn't hear that she quit the Horde though."

Painful memory of lost sister hit Chingaso when not ready, and sit here with orc girl remind so much of, Chingaso choke back emote. "Yes, well Chingaso see if can find and fix. Very nice see again, Gor'vena. Speak Chingaso any time. And give regard sisters."

"Oh, ok. I hope I didn't, like offend you or anything," say Gor'vena.

"Oh no," Chingaso say, "just must return to slay scourge. Much to do. Safe travels, Gor'vena."

"Safe travels Chingaso," Gor'vena say.

[Gorvena]

"Chingaso careful, but Chingaso also Bloodfoot orc. Bloodfoot orc spirit never die true death, always return stronger."

Gor'vena felt a cold sensation at this. So, he was Bloodfoot. Probably the son of their uncle, Gor'sir. But how to bring this up? It was fairly obvious that her side of the family was completely unknown to him.

Leaving the Gallow's End, Gor'vena puzzled this over. Surely he'd be happy to have family. Surely...

[Gorvena]

Back at the camp, I told 'oka and 'rena what I'd discovered.

"He's a bloodfoot? No way! I freaking knew it!" said Gor'oka. "I'm gonna go find him and tell him!"

"Whoa, Bloodfoot, not so fast," I said. "What if the bad blood between our fathers still exists? He might hurt you. We need to be careful."

"Geez, 'vena; for a warrior, you sure are a wimp." said Maca'rena. "I mean, like, he's family, right? What's bad about having family?"

"That's my point," said Gor'oka.

"Maybe we should ask daddy," I said, and my sisters both looked at me and nodded...

[Vilmah]

Chikanah kept a close watch on the undead woman in front of her. She'd been tailing the lady for days, ever since she watched her take a pig and disect it, then create a Quilboar from the remains. How had she done that?? It both interested and frightened Chikanah. After tracking her to an abandoned section of the Undercity, she managed to discover a laboritory. Inside were dead humans. Chikanah hid behind the wall of the next room, peeking through a crack in the wall as the undead woman forced drink after drink into their their mouths.

She thought about alerting Chingaso, her brother. Maybe he'd know what to do. Then again.. Chingaso hated the Alliance. Why would he care? She had no idea what to do in this situation, so she kept quiet. Silently watching, thinking about her next move. That is, until she saw a human woman change before her eyes. Her body shifted, and she could hear bones grinding to create a frail figure. The human's ears grew, and she was changed into an elf. It was a bloody and disgusting process, so the undead woman sighed and shook her head.

"Another one failed... what the heck is the problem??" She said angrilly.

The undead woman threw up her hands in defeat. "It seems like the elf DNA isn't fusing properly. How in the heck can I get it to work right? Hm.. maybe a trigger of some sort.. like that girl I took before....."

Chikanah watched, her curiosity surging. The undead woman pulled out a chart with a woman's body drawn on it. The woman was human, with curly brown hair and dark skin. There were many notes littered here and there on her. The undead woman thought out loud.

"Perhaps if I add to the syrum I already gave her.. perhaps I could trigger the change directly! But someone would have to give it to her. Someone close." She paused. "You there! Orc!"

Chikanah froze.

"Don't think I don't know you're there... get in here!"

The young orc walked into the laboritory, her axe in hand at the ready. "..I-I not afraid of you, lady. I going report you to--"

"To whom?" The woman laughed. "As if anyone would care about a few dead humans.. I need you to find someone for me. His name his Laron Ravenshank, and I believe he's in Orgrimmar disguised as a troll. I want you to give him something for that girl he has."

Chikanah folded her arms. "I no help you. You crazy!"

Again, the undead laughed. "My dear.. you have no choice!"

Chikanah didn't have a chance to object as the world exploded around her, in a series of brilliant white lights, and faded from view.

[Laron]

((Um did you mean to add this to the current post? Or make a new one?))

[Chingaso]

((I'm pretty sure, from what she told me in Orgrimmar the other day, that it belongs here))

[Chingaso]

Chingaso pass through Undercity on way to Light Hope Chapel when smell familiar...

"Chikana?"

[Gorvena]

Well, I met the most adorable little orphan girl in Orgrimmar the other day, although I think "Spoops" is sort of a silly name...anyway, I decided to go trick-or-treating for her. It would help me see new exciting places.

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I find it hard to classify the Undercity as either New or Exciting. Decrepit and Creepy are better words if you ask me. But still, I'd never been there, and Spoops wanted one of the mints that the inkeeper there has, so there I was.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see Chingaso, looking confused and heading out of the central trade district. Well, I may not be ready to tell him we're related, but we are and Bloodfoots watch out for each other. So I follow him, but at a distance.

If it wasn't for him sniffing the air (ugh, embalming fluid), I'd swear he was randomly wandering around, but he is a hunter and all, so I guess he was tracking something. And he kept muttering something to himself, but I couldn't quite make it out. So I snuck a bit closer when he rounded a corner, and heard him say, "Chinkana?"

"Chinkana, isn't that the name of his sister?" I wondered to myself, dodging behind a curtain when he looked back in my direction. I thought I should watch him for a while longer. I mean, it would be great if he could find his sister again, but this place gave me the major creeps and I thought I should maybe stick around and make sure he was ok and all...

[Vilmah]

When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was in Undercity. Inhaling, she began to choke. What was that smell?? Chikanah sighed, irritated.

"It's me..." she muttered.

She smelled as if she hadn't bathed in days. But.. she remembered swimming in Lordemere Lake earlier. So.. why did she feel so filthy? And tired? And why was the sun up? Wasn't it midnight?

Chikanah was confused. She sat on the huge broken statue inside of the courtyard of Lordaeron, and tried to remember what it was she'd been doing for the past few days. She caught a glimpse of a female Orc on a wolf, trotting out of Undercity. The orc had lots of burn scars all over her skin, but she actually seemed... cheerful? In her hands was a suspicious looking bag. She recognized that bag from somewhere...

[Chingaso]

Chingaso hunt around Undercity, follow faint but distinct smell, Chingaso know it Chikana. Even odd sisters who look familiar not smell exact. Close, but not exact.

Then, out of corner of eye, catch warrior sister follow Chingaso. "Hmm, what that one name?" Chingaso think. "If warrior, then Gor'oka. Chingaso wonder why follow." Chingsao continue to watch with periferal so not let on know follow.

Then, sudden, scent of Chikana disappear.

[Vilmah]

((Earlier))

Morning came quicker than she expected.

Vilmah left Sanctuary's guildhall later than she expected, after speaking to Nojinbu about the night's occurances. Replacing her armor and weapons, she headed for the Undercity to take care of guild business. Apparently, there were more new recruits asking about Sanctuary. More and more seemed to be coming from the ruins of Lordaeron, where newer Forsaken awoke daily. She was glad that they seemed optomistic of the future.

As she walked downstairs from the zepplin tower, she noticed something from the corner of her eye. An orc female. Usually, she wouldn't have paid her any mind.. but this particular orc looked familliar. She had a bluish tint to her skin, and Vilmah noticed a familliar smell about her. Surprisingly, the stranger approached Vilmah.

"...excuse me, miss. Are you Vilmah Bloodborne?" Said the girl, in a very prim and proper dialect.

Caught off guard by her way of speaking, Vilmah nodded. "Yes, I am. And you are?"

The young orc seemed to think of a moment. She didn't blink or flinch. "... Chikanah Bloodfoot."

"Chikanah!" Vilmah smiled. "Oh, you must be Chingaso's sister!"

Again, the girl paused. "... Yes. Yes, I am! Miss Vilmah, I have something to give to you. It's for Laron Ravenshank's lady friend."

Vilmah looked confused. "Oh? How in the world do you know about them?"

"... Oh! I heard from someone that you said they were trying to have a baby." Chikanah smiled. "I've brought you something that will help her. Just tell her to make a drink from it."

With a nod, Vilmah took a small package from Chikanah's hand. "Well, that's very thoughtful of you.. I wouldn't expect any less from Chingaso's sister. Oh! You should go see him! He misses you terribly, you know.. the poor thing."

Chikanah nodded. "Yes. I will. Goodbye, miss Vilmah!"

With that, Chikanah went into the Undercity. Vilmah looked over the package, and let out a startled yelp as a pale blue hand encircled her waist. "Whachoo got der?"

"Oh! Nojinbu.." She said with a relieved sigh. "Oh.. it's something for Najme. Chingaso's sister said it would help her with a baby."

The troll raised an eyebrow in skepticism, and took the package. "Lemme see dat.."

Before Vilmah could object, he tore it open and looked at the herbs inside. Ingredients for thistle tea, with one exception; a strange yellow dust that was hidden within some of the leaves. Nojinbu frowned, and removed the tainted ingredients. "Ah.. sme o' dese is rotted. 'ere. Ah got some..."

He reached into his bag, and brought fourth some fresh leaves. Re-wrapping them in the package, he handed it back, and kept the bad ones in his pocket. Vilmah cocked her head sideways. "But, what'll you do with those ones?"

"Don' worry 'bout it," he replied with a smile, and kissed her forehead. "Ah'm gonna head up ta da Warmasta. Ya betta send dat letta ta ya frien'."

Vilmah nodded, and hugged Nojinbu awkwardly before going into Undercity. The troll watched her, and melted into the shadows.
