<DeathStar> Date: 10-647.5.10
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Geyze
<DeathStar> *The landscape of Geyze has still not recovered from the events of Strikers Session 75 and TAW Session 615, with holes all over the place in various areas and debris still taking up places. The Ent forest still has some damage done to it as well. However, a new problem is slowly being peeled back in the form of the spirits after the events of 615 (to be done next Sunday) (Cont)
<DeathStar> *right now, even a few weeks later, things are still a bit chaotic - the PAX having left a part of it behind to help monitor things, much to Selena's chargin and Jaime's happiness, the repair needed to the landscape, and right now a few of the children's birthdays being held at the Academy*
<DeathStar> *Cloé sits with Cherie as cake has been set up for the two as well as Bella; all the kids having been invited while the adults are using this as an excuse afterward to discuss what to do about all the events lately*
<DeathStar> *Cloe pokes at a cat shaped cake*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Today I am an official teenager. That means I'm cooler."
<DeathStar> *Cloé looks up, having become 11 and Cherie 12, looking depressed* C-Can't hang out with Bella anymore.*
<Sara> * Cherie pokes at it right next to Cloé
<DeathStar> *Yuki has Yurica with them, since the Aquarius was a part of all this. Fae has isolated themselves due to the events of 615*
<Seraphna> Nell> Welcome to the cool club.
<Sara> <Cherie> B-But why? *she looks between Bella and Cloé*
<Seraphna> **Terra hands out fruit, as though refusing to be upset or maybe as one of the youngest spirits doing her best to cheer the others up**
<DeathStar> *Selena brings in various foods and games for the children*
<Seraphna> **Saga paws at Bella and Cloe**
<DeathStar> *Cloé hangs her head even more*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *looks down*
<Seraphna> **Sephie sets down a large present from her and her sisters, Doll guards it**
<DeathStar> *Seniga nods* It does mean we get to see movies and stuff now
<Sara> <Cherie> Cloé and Bella both look unhappy...
<Seraphna> Saga> Why sad?
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Teenagers don't hang out with babies. *she sniffles* <Selena> You're only 2 years younger. *She sets down some cute little fishing toys*
<Sara> <Cherie> Cloé isn't a baby.
<DeathStar> *that seems to cheer her up*
<DeathStar> *taking a big bite out of the cat cake's head*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *shrugs and eats some cake*
<DeathStar> *Nocturne joins them with Soren; the dark spirit now looking 16, a year older than Soren; the light spirit seems completely annoyed*
<DeathStar> <Nocturne> Here's some presents. *She hands Bella a biker jacket, Cherie a cute bookbag and for Cloe a kid's game*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Oh, cool."
<Sara> * Cherie eyes Bella's jacket
<DeathStar> *Nocturne thumbs up as she moves off to eat some food*
<DeathStar> *Cloé fiddles with her's*
<DeathStar> *As the party wears down, Yuki pats Yurica* <Yuki> I'm going to a meeting. You play nice, kiddo
<Seraphna> **Nell got Bella a sword**
<Sara> <Yurica> Yeah, well.
<DeathStar> <Selena> We'll be back. *she steps out as Soren checks on Fae*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *puts on the jacket*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> You look good
<Jackieness> <Bella> *flexes to show off*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Hm, what should we do while the adults are distracted
<Sara> <Cherie> Everything?
<Seraphna> Terra> Cheer up Fae Fae?
<DeathStar> *Cloé shifts, looking like they might get in trouble, peering about the room they set up* <Seniga> Sure, lets bring her along and go exploring
<Sara> <Cherie> Where are we going?
* Chainy has joined #TAW-Geyze
<Seraphna> Nell> We could check out the other temples. Or go to the Spirit Club.
* Retrieving #TAW-Geyze modes...
* DeathStar sets mode: -ps
<Jackieness> <Bella> "I want to climb up one of the temples."
<Sara> <Cherie> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Lets go
<DeathStar> *she moves over and grabs Fae, making her squeal as she lifts her up*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *heads out*
<DeathStar> *shifting focus for a bit*
<DeathStar> *Selena sits down at the Academy table*
<DeathStar> *Where Asarar, Cypher, Erevis, and others who wish to attend are located, Lumi's dog tail swishes, hands folded together*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Who all needs to be brought up to speed?
<Seraphna> **Threna serves tea**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I was there for a lot of it and I admit I could barely follow it
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *balances her hat on a finger* "It wouldn't hurt to go over the facts of the matter."
<Seraphna> **Jaime leans back, covered in mud from probably starting to work fixing the planet**
<Sara> <Chelsea> That's how it goes...
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Jaime from another reality it seems never got back Gnome or Adeline and began to seek out more and more copyed powers
<Jackieness> <Kira> *just looks over at Jaime with a dead expression*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "To try to recover them, or merely for nefarious purposes?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> And rose to the top of Suisen Empire's top ranks. <Erevis> Either forcefully or sneakily, since Lenneth has been coy with who she is keeping it under wraps on who she is choosing. <Lumi> Either way, she became the chosen heir
<Seraphna> Jaime> Probably in a vain hope to get them back somehow. When I had lost them both I got pretty desperate.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> And stayed that way over thousands of years it is believed, and slowly they became an alternate Illium Empire with copied power.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** Makes sense since I can control my aging.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Dealing with loss does not typiclaly include a multidimenional rampage." *spoken curtly*
<Seraphna> Threna> One can easily lose sight of their goals in despair.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> They traveled here since we have Yggdrasil - we were guessing hoping to make theirs the Prime Reality and I don't know, incorporate Gnome and Adeline into their reality. She was eventually defeated here on Geyze.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But not before that battle had an adverse effect on the planet.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs and nods**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have left a piece of the PAX here to help monitor everything incase anything like this happens again.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "And to facilitate quick travel?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> While we are here, we should take a look at the adverse effect her being here caused. Come with me. And some one should get Ellie too
<Sara> <Chelsea> I kind of always knew Jaime would try to conquer the galaxy if she could
<Seraphna> **Jaime huffs** I'm right here you know.
<Sara> * She notes to Asarar
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods to Chelsea, then peers at Jaime innocently*
<DeathStar> *Selena stands up as Erevis pats Jikuu8
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is the least we can do.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So Jaime... going to take yourself completely out of the royal running?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm sure we all have alternate evil selves somewhere in the multiverse.
<DeathStar> *Lumi suddenly without warning snatches Nicolette's hat, still deadpanned, and runs ahead*
<Seraphna> Jaime> No, that would be silly.
<Seraphna> **Threna blinks and follows after Lumi** Dear?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> .. what?
<Seraphna> Threna> Are you okay?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Umm..."
<DeathStar> *she turns, holding the hat* <Lumi> ... At least I'm not biting it. *she tosses it back*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...is that normal?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lumi is quite the dog
<Seraphna> Threna> She is my adorable wife.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Let me rephrase that. Lumi is quite the bitch
<Seraphna> Threna> Grandma!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I jest
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves over next to Asarar and leans in to whisper to her*
<Ariel> * Nicolette catches the hat on a finger and lets it orbit, "Eheh... I'll stay out of the family drama."
<DeathStar> *Asarar leans in*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I cannot say they do not go well together."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **grumbles a bit that people keep seeming to blame her for someone else's actions**
<DeathStar> *as the group moves over, there is a large pad near the bar*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Here, allow us to step in to this. ... Fingers cross that Myria set this up correctly
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you have a test subject you do not mind using and losing?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think one of Tabetha's old robots is running around here.
<DeathStar> *Asarar considers thoughtfully, grabbing Gwen by the collar and puts him on it*
<Seraphna> Talia> Hey that's mine!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<Seraphna> **Talia tosses Asarar over to it too** You go too.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Ah... it is not good to use a person there..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Why do I feel in danger
<Seraphna> Jaime> We could have used like a horse or something.
<DeathStar> *Asarar pulls Talia along*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So many willing people. Okay.
<Seraphna> Luci> Those horses are paid for meals! **calls out from the bar**
<DeathStar> *she shows Lumi the button and the group vanishes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alright it appears they made it safely. We can step on
<Seraphna> **Jaime floats Kira onto the platform** We could always do a second test.
<DeathStar> *Erevis steps on with Lumi and the rest*
<Seraphna> **Jaime gets on as does Threna**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What if there had been a teleporter accident? We could have gotten alternate universe Gwen!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Is it really that easy?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I dunno, my alternate self nearly destroyed the planet.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I have no idea."
<Sara> * Chelsea scratches her head
<DeathStar> *the group warps and appears on the PAX*
<DeathStar> *where Gwen is pressed against the wall, freaking out*
<Seraphna> **Talia pokes him**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *goes and tries to draw him away form the wall*
<Seraphna> Jaime> He acts like he's never been warped before.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah, Gwen? Are... you alright?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Just stop bullying him!"
<Seraphna> Talia> Gweeeennnn~
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Oh, okay.
<DeathStar> *Gwen lets out breaths*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I apologise for the rudeness of my colleagues."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please remain still. We're going to port back to a second pad; Jaime wanted the second one installed at the Ent Forest, where we wished to go anyway.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm definitely going to be using that pad."
<DeathStar> *when the timer finishes, the pad they are on warps them back down and they arrive at the Ent Forest; where they see something familiar, at least the ones that used the Time Pyramid*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah!"
<DeathStar> *There's a massive gouge in the forest, as if something cut into it and ripped right into the land*
<DeathStar> *Right where the Ent are at*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh...?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's taking forever to close this up.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...but... you can do it, right?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mostly because I don't want Terra to have to spend all her time on it.
<DeathStar> *Kalam is there*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks at it, frowning in a mix of anger and annoyance**
<DeathStar> *thankfully, Kalam seems to have Ellie with her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> That she would even dare to endanger the forest is the real reason I know that that woman and I are not the same.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "This is the worst impact I've personally seen. Have you found the impact object?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> We know what caused it
<DeathStar> <Lumi> A few of us saw her
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... it's been... dealt with, right?" *she actually sounds angry for once*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I admit I was not privy to that - It is one reason I wished to bring the PAX tech here
<Seraphna> Jaime> All this in spire of our air support and shields I installed here during the Dark War too.
<Sara> * Ellie turns to the others
<DeathStar> *As they walk over, Kalam and her Spirit people combing the area for information*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Jaime, tell me... is Gnome well?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs** A little roughed up, but healing.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I can barely recognize this place..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Thankfully even with the damage the Ent's took, their faith in her and Terra is strong so she'll recover.
<Sara> <Ellie> It really could have been much worse.
<Sara> <Ellie> Trust me on that one.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It'll grow back right? Of course it will
<DeathStar> *he eyes the trees, actually seeing the sky some for once*
<DeathStar> *Kalam moves over*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I got some news that isn't going to set well
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...oh no..."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, better to know I suppose
<DeathStar> <Kalam> That Jaime might have helped push things, but as we've been seeing for months now, our spirits have been at odds. I think this has helped me a bit
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs, touching a trunk** I'm actually starting to think the reason Terra was born so much more aligned with plants and not just the ground was because she'd be needed to heal all this.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... we need to fix the spirits before we have a repeat of the Croza war."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> The elements are suppose to work together but there is at time when they work against each other. I believe - for some reason - that switch has been flipped.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...yes."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> The elements are in a state of working against each other.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Like they are back to factory default
<DeathStar> <Kalam> The way the two went at each other when they were best friends made no sense
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Right. Something was lost when they had to change cores..."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But if they were inherently at odds as their default, then the only path open is entropy."
<Seraphna> Jaime> It takes everything to try and keep Gnome rational when they get close.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And the kids still aren't even the slightest bit affected.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I need to examine everything more. For now we should keep the two seperated.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Unless you want to punish her. *She glances at Ellie*
<Sara> * Ellie gives a full shrug
<Sara> <Ellie> I don't think that'd help.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Alright, I'll try to learn more about these cores then.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We could go to the spirit realm where we found them."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Right.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alright let us go back
<DeathStar> <Selena> *As she turns to go, she pauses* This might be stupid
<DeathStar> <Selena> But could the spirits be affected by that other thing?
<DeathStar> <Selena> The - you know what?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...maybe..."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "The thing that gives the marks?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...but it usually plays mindgames."
<DeathStar> *Erevis pauses, grabbing Jaime and checking her's - seeing it has grown an arm*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "The... other thing?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's growing again. Yeah.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Considering it's been two whole years, I'm kind of surprised to be honest.
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes her8
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Could be using your connection to Gnome to infect the spirits."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We need to talk to Fate - your protection has worn off
<Sara> * Chelsea eyes Jaime warily
<Seraphna> Jaime> Don't worry I'm not seeing things yet.
<Seraphna> Jaime> But yes we should.
<DeathStar> *Selena turns to Nicolette*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Um, some elder god that likes to turn people into fish things
<DeathStar> <Selena> Did I summarize it correctly?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Fish... things?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Oh, well, that's... horrifying."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *just stares at Selena*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe Ama has been off dealing with it
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, I just know you all are terrified of it and it's mark, but so far I just know it turned people on Kumen into fish people
<Seraphna> Jaime> As for my connection to the spirits, I'm pretty sure this started before that? Am I wrong?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We should start with investigating the nature of their cores."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then let us return
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Seniga poses on top of the temple*
<DeathStar> *Fae sits at the bottom*
<DeathStar> *depressed*
<DeathStar> *Cloé pants, crawling up slowly*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What a view." *stands at the edge*
<Sara> * Cherie collapses next to Cloé
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I need...my suit...
<Seraphna> **Terra hugs on Fae**
<DeathStar> <Fae> Sorry my mom tried to kill yours...
<Seraphna> Terra> Is not her fault, whatever making them bonkers did it!
<Jackieness> <Bella> *walks into the middle of the pyramid and just flops down, arms and legs splayed* "Ahhhhhh..."
<Seraphna> **Terra nuzzles her**
<DeathStar> *Seniga takes pictures*
<DeathStar> *Cloé stubbornly tries to crawl further up despite being exhausted, then begins to flail*
<DeathStar> *losinf balance*
<Sara> * Cherie looks over at Cloé but seems unable to make herself move
<Seraphna> **Nell hikes a metal disk under her and floats her up**
<DeathStar> *The disk bounces her upward, but isn't completely stable*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Nyaa?!
<Seraphna> Nell> You're a cat, balance!
<DeathStar> *she clings to it*
<DeathStar> *as the others arrive back, Gwen points at the temple*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ...
<DeathStar> *Yuki holds up a datapad to record*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...well...I know whose idea this is..."
<DeathStar> *for Erica*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Oh dear...
<DeathStar> *Cloé waves fro the top*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *To Nicolette* Are kids always like this?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Yes
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Especially when they become teenagers."
<Seraphna> **Nell goes dragon and scoops up the other kids**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> You're 23 now, shouldn't you recall?
<Seraphna> Threna> She spent a good deal of her adolecence on Yggdrassil training with Lore's kids.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> That is true
<DeathStar> *when the kids lands in front of everyone, Cloé runs up to Chelsea and leaps on her*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I climbed Sasha's mount doooom
<DeathStar> *Cypher peers out of the garage, having been working on a new Mew Mew for Chelsea, the two tech spirits all depressed*
<DeathStar> *for once acting subdued*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Congrats
<Alicia> <Sparkling "What's wrong?"
<Seraphna> Nell> **winks a dragon eye and then turns back to normal, her dragon form is black with orange stripes**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *eyes Bella* "...so I know who keeps trying to climb that period, so I know whose the ringleader."
<Jackieness> <Bella> *just shoves her hands into the pockets of her jacket*
<Sara> * Cherie looks innocent... and exhausted
<Seraphna> **Terra is loving on Fae**
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Alright. *picks up Cherie* Lets get you kids inside
<Seraphna> Terra> Like Momma says the hugs will continue till Fae Fae smile!
<DeathStar> *Fae gives her a false smile since she feels Terra deserves one*
<Alicia> * Sparkling goes to hug the tech spirits
<Seraphna> **Terra nuzzles her more**
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-647.5.11
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *Asarar relaxes at the bar*
<DeathStar> *Riki cleans the bar cups behind it*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It looks like the spirit study has begun at Ymir's
<DeathStar> *she is studying the information on her pad*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *distracted* "...so I took Bella to buy her first bra... can you believe it?"
<Seraphna> Luci> My kitten is working hard.
<DeathStar> *Asarar glances up* Already? *she sips her drink*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *then eyes the bar's patrons*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I'm prepared to eliminate potential boyfriends and/or girlfriends."
<Seraphna> Luci> You should probably get to know them before eliminating them, Kira. The paperwork alone is a hassel.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina flops over the counter, holding roses*
<Seraphna> Luci> And if it's a girl you at least don't have to worry about kids.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Hi!
<Jackieness> <Kira> "That is what the kidnapping and interrogation is for."
<DeathStar> *Asarar turns to eye her, then the roses*
<Seraphna> Luci> Hello Sabby.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *eyes Sabrina* "...those had better not be for Bella."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Can I get a drink? <Asarar> *hands her one, since she's like 17ish physically, or almost 18* <Sabrina> Hm? *she glances at them* Oh I found these on the floor in your bar!
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I thought I'd keep them!
<DeathStar> *She downs the drink* Have a good day!
<DeathStar> *She moves to go*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Did a date go south?"
<Seraphna> Luci> Maybe. I'd have them tested though.
<DeathStar> *Riki watches her go, cleaning the glass* <Asarar> In this place, who knows. *She grabs her coat* I'm going to check out some things
<Seraphna> Luci> I should check in on Ymir myself.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Just things?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Back sure these Spirit Studies go well. *She grabs her cigs* You plan to up Bellas' training now that she's older? We can start bringing her in on some easy missions
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Yeah, time to ramp up."
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods and drags Luci along*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Selena watches Kalam set up a work station at the Academy with Kito*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I'll probably be here for awhile so I should be ready to do some work for the next few weeks. Ymir and her people will be my partners up on Kumen and will send their results to me as well
<DeathStar> *Cloé puts a funny hat on Chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> While Kalam does that, what would everyone else like to do?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> There's still normal classes and Peacekeeping assignments if you wish to go about your normal day to day jobs
<DeathStar> *Lumi
<Seraphna> Jaime> My normal day to day job seems to be punching the enemies of Tareh and the Suisen Empire. And now putting Tareh back together.
<DeathStar> *Lumi hands Jaime a piece of paper*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks at it**
<Seraphna> **Geyze
<DeathStar> *it seems to be dealing with an uprising of skeletons in the Dark Lands*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Selena!
<DeathStar> <Selena> Yes?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Honest to goodness Skeleton fight!
<DeathStar> <Selena> I would love to - but I am probably needed to help with the Spirit Situation for when Kalam deals with it
<Seraphna> Jaime> I mean, I would be too and can just teleport us back.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "We have more crisises than normal these days..."
<DeathStar> *as Nicolette says that, a massive shadow looms over her*
<Seraphna> **A student runs by yelling** Crisis alert! We're almost out of Macaroni in the cafeteria!
<Sara> <Chelsea> Feels like it's always been this way to me.
<DeathStar> *and feels something hard and cold press into her back*
<DeathStar> <Ice Cold Voice> ... Tea?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *turns sloooooooowly*
<DeathStar> *a large Tsivrixsh stands there, holding a tray of goodies like tea and other drinks.*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Ah, um... t-thank you."
<DeathStar> *he nods, then takes the tea and hands her a cup, then moves on and does the same to Chelsea*
<Sara> * Chelsea takes her cup
<Seraphna> Talia> Blue Man! Did you get the fishie crackers!?
<DeathStar> *he lifts his right hand, with signs of his right arm having been chopped off and reattached through magic, and drops them on Talia's hand, before moving onward*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I still don't get why they wanted to kill that one on sight
<Seraphna> Talia> He's pretty nice.
<Seraphna> **Jaime shivers**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, skeletons. Come on Sel. **she grabs her**
<DeathStar> *Selena makes a noise as she's dragged off. Kalam steps over to Chelsea and Nicolette*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Alright, here is my plan
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I could use feed back.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I want to take a look at the cores of various spirit "Generations" and take information on them to see if there is anything there. I suppose the oldest would be Shin, if she would allow it, then the Elder Spirits, then the Spirits like Sylph and Gnome, then their children
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I want to study the differences and then study the cores just in the buildings not being used
<DeathStar> <Kalam> The question is what sort of studying should we do to the cores.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Nothing destructive, goes without saying.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> We should sing to it!
<Alicia> * Ceilidh continues to muse, this helping to keep her mind off the Tsivrixsh in the room
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Stranger things have happened
<Jackieness> <Lana> *shuffles in*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I am here to render assistance."
<DeathStar> *Cloé holds her hands together, magik glowing between them and she suddenly touches Lana; then recoils onto her rear*
<DeathStar> *her eyes wide as a cat's*
<Seraphna> Talia> Laaaana. Come be my pillows!
<Sara> <Chelsea> Cloé!
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Something happen? *she kneels*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *rises up and hides behind Chelsea*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhhh?"
<DeathStar> *peering at Lana*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Did something ... happen?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What did you do?"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Saw into her dreams. Scary.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Huh? What happened?
<DeathStar> *she begins to describe what seems to be naughty dreams, indicating an overworked Lana*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Terrifying!
<Jackieness> <Lana> A"hhhh! That's enough!" *flails*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah... ummm... maybe you shouldn't do that again."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "And Lana, you need to get more rest."
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> That's an ability of mine. *she notes sneakily, picking Cloe up* <Cypher> You never told me that
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I wonder if dream reading might could benefit us. I'm unsure how, but I'll keep it on the table
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Alright, if we're going to get some blank cores to study, we need two spirits to help us to get into the chamber.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Who should we ask?
<Sara> * Chelsea's face is stuck in a weird expression
<DeathStar> *Bonnie playfully touches her, then muses*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Oh my
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We could ask the Elder Spirits if we don't trust any of ours.
<Sara> <Chelsea> None of my business, at least.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie is drawing something from Chelsea's dreams*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *flops into a chair*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Well, if we ask Neekito, we should be able to ask someone like Gnome or---
<DeathStar> *as Kalam goes through the choices, the wind softly begins to pick up*
<Sara> * Chelsea's hair stands on end
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I'll go find Neekito then. *she heads off*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah?"
<DeathStar> *Ellie's house sways as Cypher approaches*
<DeathStar> *as this is going on, a bone lands on Lana*
<DeathStar> *Then a few on Ceilidh and one on Chelsea*
<Sara> <Chelsea> ???????
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh?" *looks at it*
<DeathStar> *skeleton soldier remains. Selena dusts herself off, hair blowing as the bones fly about*
<DeathStar> <Selena> A storm seems to be comingin
<Jackieness> <Lana> *picks up the bone and carries it to her lab to analyze*
<DeathStar> *it looks like it was the remains of a undead skeleton warrior*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmmm.
<DeathStar> *the head of one keeps calling Jaime names*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh blinks at the bones in her hands
<DeathStar> <Selena> That one is quite rude
<Sara> <Chelsea> Seems like they have a bone to pick with Jaime
<DeathStar> <Skeleton Head> Hey. Hey. You. Girly
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah, you know this Jaime isn't the one who caused all the trouble, right?"
<DeathStar> <Skeleton> You're fat!
<DeathStar> *it nyey hey hey's*
<DeathStar> <Skeleton> You should lose some weight and become skin and bones.
<Seraphna> **jaime teleports up to it and Hyper-Flicks it**
<DeathStar> *The head breaks apart; about now the wind has picked up enough that Sylph breaks out of her house with Ellie, Neekito falling onto the ground with Cypher*
<DeathStar> *Sylph zooms, as if she is leaving*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I think we found the source of the wind
<DeathStar> *her hair blowing into her face*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...was it in doubt?"
<DeathStar> <Kalam> We could use her as a baseline for tests. Damn
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, then teleports ahead of Sylph** Hey sis!
<DeathStar> *Sylph pauses, eyeing Jaime; a flicker of emotion at seeing her*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ..
<DeathStar> *Neekito joins the others with Cypher*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> I will help you get into the chamber when the time comes. *She glances off toward where Sylph and Jaime is at* ... Hopefully Sylph will aid us as well
<DeathStar> *Sylph blows her aside and leaves*
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports ahead again** I said, Siiiis!
<DeathStar> *Sylph doesn't stop this time*
<DeathStar> *wind knocking her aside*
<Seraphna> **Jaime reaches out and TK holds her**
<DeathStar> *Sylph urks*
<Seraphna> Jaime> ENOUGH!
<DeathStar> *the spirit wiggles*
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves over to her** WHat are you doing?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What... yes, that."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ... *she begins to cackle with wind energy, the wind currents flowing with some dark ones much like it did in the upcoming 615* <Sylph> ...go. *She whispers*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Snap out of it already. Think about Fae and Ellie and how you're affecting them.
<DeathStar> *Sylph looks like she could put her power into blowing Jaime away, but probably doesn't want to damage the area like she did before, so she powers the winds down*
<DeathStar> *switching to her pixie form*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sylph. We need your help. She needs your help.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ... *eyes Jaime, then like a high speed hornet breaks free*
<DeathStar> *Ellie would feel something arriving on her head*
<Sara> * Ellie wobbles
<Seraphna> Jaime> **eyes glaze a second and she sighs** Could have just said okay.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I take it everything is okay?
<DeathStar> *to everyone else*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah... are you... having trouble with words?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *nods*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> She is only communicating to Ellie
<DeathStar> <Kalam> That might mean something
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I hope I can help with things.. I'd need to know more about what's going on, though."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Alright *To everyone else* Here is what I'm going to do before we travel to get the blank cores
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Cores typically will react to two things. Spirit energy is the primary thing.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> So spirit techniques to probe it will get the most results naturally, if anyone can come up with the tools to do that. And magic
<DeathStar> <Selena> Any type of magic? <Kalam> That is my hope
<DeathStar> <Kalam> So if Neekito and Sylph will allow it - Sylph will be our test subject for core that might ... I don't want to use the word wrong, but lets say unusual. And Neekito for her generation
<DeathStar> *She gets the two set up to begin the tests*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I've been practising analysis magic, so I should be able to do this."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I'll work on the spirit techniques then
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> *Selena turns*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, there is little I can do - I don't have anaylsis magic
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'll return to the castle for now
<DeathStar> <Selena> Jaime. When you have time, you should join me at the castle. I plan to look into the old Croza War records mother left - maybe get her to go through them with me
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and smiles**
* Chainy has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<DeathStar> *The Queen heads off,planning to learn up*
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> *Selena is in her study with Celes and tons of books*
<Seraphna> **Jaime appears wearing her mud as a loose gown, regular mud free out of courtesy**

Session Ident: #TAW-Geyze
<DeathStar> *Asarar smokes at the bar while Riki tries to think of a new drink*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *runs downstairs, dressed like a punk-ish schoolgirl along with her leather jacket*
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes her* You going to school dressed like that?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Its my new look."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Just make sure the teachers don't get angry if you wear it around them
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Right, right." *shrugs and heads for the transporter pad*
<DeathStar> *Riki holds out a carton of milk*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Ah... thanks." *grabs the carton*
<DeathStar> <Riki> Have fun
<DeathStar> *down at the academy, students are running around, preparing for the finals coming up - same with the children's academy. With so many of them becoming teens, Seniga is sitting and musing, tossing an apple*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *steps off the pad and runs out of Luci's place toward the campus, drinking milk from the carton*
<DeathStar> *Seniga glances at Bella, chewing her apple* Hey
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Hey!" *raises a hand*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> You get your sheet yet?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Uhhhh...sheet?"
<DeathStar> *Seniga pats the spot next to her* The teach is handing this out this morning to us older students - it looks like when we graduate classes this year, we get to decide what sort of things we want to *she pauses on the word* Study. You know how some of the students are planning to go into the main academy or the magic academy, or do just work. The final few weeks we get to pick what we want to do and they'll have us sent there to check it out to prepare us for next year.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *sits down*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "So its like... what you want to do when you grow up?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Seems like it. I'm not sure if I want to go to the academy or pick a job like Momma Tora
<Jackieness> <Bella> "I don't know... havne't given it any thought."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Guess it's why they're doing it now
<DeathStar> *Seniga heads for class*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I think we can pick 2 things to do
<Jackieness> <Bella> *walks with Seniga* "Punch and kick?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> There probably is jobs that let you do that if you want to go into that business
<DeathStar> *As they reach the classroom, Cloe looks depressed, too young to have a sheet*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Liek I said, haven't thought about it."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Hey, Cloe."
<DeathStar> *She waves* Hey, Bella
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What's up?"
<DeathStar> *She fiddles with some paper, making a paper spirit*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Just getting ready for the tests. <Seniga> Crap. *She hurries off as the teacher comes in and hands Yurica, Nell, and Bella sheets*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *looks at the sheet*
<DeathStar> ,<Teacher> Those of you who have sheets need should come see me later to decid what you would like to do career wise. We'll speak one on one. *the papers have a list of choices and questions - asking pointed questions that might lead one towards the Academy, or towards the MAgic School, or towards certain career paths* <Teacher> Based on what you think might interest you, we'll be having someone here from there. Try to narrow your focus to two things - for now that take your time and take the sheets home
<DeathStar> *Fae props her head up, not caring*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *justs slips the sheet into her bag*
<DeathStar> *after a day of tests, Seniga flees to the look around campus* Okay, what should we do? *Cloé looks at her tests, pleased*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "I don't know..."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *eyes Sasha's place in the distance* I heard rumors that the Headmistress has the test answers
<DeathStar> <Seniga> To all the finals that are coming up soon
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...really? That true?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Supposedly! I wonder if it's possible to get it
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Rumor has it that Rain has someone in there to help her when she's not around and is aiding Shinobu
<Jackieness> <Bella> We've climbed the pyramid before. The balcony opens directly to the office."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Lets sneak in then and try to find them
<DeathStar> *Cloé eyes them*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...what?"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> If get caught can be in big trouble
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Right, we need an escape plan."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Right. IT would be nice if we had the floorplan
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Right. We need to case the place first."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Who should we send?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> If we all go it'd be suspicious
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Good question."
<DeathStar> *seniga eyes Cloe*
<DeathStar> *Who jerks*
* Jackieness has quit IRC
