<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *After the events of the last session, as well as the events in TAW crossovers, the Vision drug trade has dealt with, the Spirits have had their cores fixed, the Mirror Universe has had Wind appointed as a stop-gap in the meantime until something can be thought of to deal with it, and everything has begun to become more normal
<DeathStar> *Lumi sits in her office, going over reports while Gwen sits outside, using a tool work on an flute*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *works in her lab on a project*
<DeathStar> *Selena is present in the conference rooms that they often are called to, going through papers, hand on her forehead*
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Geyze
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps into the conference room* "You're alot like me, you know..."
<DeathStar> *Selena glances up* Pardon?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Work, work, work."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, it's just... even though the spirits are back to normal, this latest issue has caused problems.
<Seraphna> **Threna sits by Lumi**
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *walks over and gestures to a seat next to Selena* "May I?"
<Ari`> * Nicolette has a small fort of books, trying to catch up on materials she's fallen behind on with the crisis
<DeathStar> *Selena nods and gestures* I been going over Lumi's Peacekeeping reports. Soren and Aska were unaffected, but you had Sylph, Gnome, Barak, and Salamander and certain ... circles are growing unhappy with the spirits. Hapian, the Dark Lands, and even the Ents surprisingly remain steadfast in their belief, small dissenting voices are growing tired of spirit crisis after spirit crisis.
<DeathStar> *Lumi looks up at Threna; it seems she is dealing with a problem*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The eldest spirits were relatively unexpected, so Hapian and the Dakr Lands are no surprise. As far as the Ents, their view of time is different."
<Seraphna> Threna> Credit for your thoughts Puppy~?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It seems that even after all this is over, reports are coming in on spirits causing trouble. I'm trying to send Peacekeepers out to learn if Kalam's fix didn't stick.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Or if people are lying
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **sneaking out of Selena’s shadow** Maybe we should direct the anger at those who harm the spirits instead of letting people begin to blame the victims as though they won’t just create a new crisis doing so.
<Seraphna> Threna> What are the nature of the complaints?
<DeathStar> <Selena> *folds her hands* All I know is that the Legion has the most complaints; it's also in the Naturalists second - Sylph's old Kingdom, but they're spread out all over Geyze after that. We can bring Salamander/Edna here to the Academy to join Sylph if it grows too large.
<DeathStar> <Selena> The Alliance should do some campaign against the misinformation
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "First you should find out where the misinformation is coming from... assuming it is indeed misinformation."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You know what this sounds like right?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It. Spreading strife again.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> They claim sightings of Sylph, Gnome, and Salamander have been seen attacking carriages of wealthy nobles and attacking small villages. <Selena> Mainly the information I'm getting is that the people are simply tired of spirits causing massive damage when they go on rampages
<DeathStar> *Selena turns to look at Kaelan* It?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> The lady we aren’t to name if we can help it.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I thought it was in other worlds causing problems
<Seraphna> **Threna stares** Okay we know it’s false then.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The spirits have been the foundation of Geyze civilization for centuries. Diminish our faith in the spirits, you destroy our identity."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Yeah I don't believe it either, hence sending Peacekeepers out.
<Seraphna> Threna> You have to not be from Geyze at all to suggest Gnome is randomly attacking things. As much as that sounds like their last encounter weeks ago.
<DeathStar> *suddenly, Sparkling is sent flying by someone acros the field at Nicolette's fort of books - like they were bowling*
<DeathStar> *Lumi lifting her head up at the commotion*
<Ari`> * Nicolette jumps back, holding the book she was reading to her chest, and unable to help the others.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Sorry!" *lands amongst the books*
<DeathStar> *Mélodie holds her hand out*
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "W-what was that?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Speaking of spirit antics...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm, perhaps my little Darkness can keep tabs on the spirits suspected to prove they’re innocent.
<DeathStar> *The long twin-tailed spirit dances with Aimee* I got a strike!
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "H-hey! Respect the books, you two!"
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "That's not the best place to go bowling... and I'm not a bowling ball..."
<DeathStar> *Aimée sighs at Nicolette, then regathers Sparkling and lifts her up, spotting some Academy students, trying to line her up* Ooookay.
<DeathStar> <Selena> *muses* I'll work with my advisors to try to work on a campaign with all the spirits together
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Hey!"
<Ari`> * Nicolette is distracted enough not to worry about people bowling.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'll see who all has a good idea.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "While the Peacekeepers search for the souce of this disturbance."
<DeathStar> *the two spirits, after playing with Sparkling a few more rounds, hug on the magical girl; it seems they're feeling a bit lonely these days, what with no Mew Mew Ship, they're feeling listless*
<Seraphna> Threna> We should consider rebuilding their ship.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I think Cypher has tinkered with Chelsea's blueprints in her spare time but it'll take time - she only helped Chelsea.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> If Ymir and the Suisen lifted restrictions long enough, we could look for the broken Mew Mew on the Yggdrasil.
<Seraphna> Threna> I’ll see about getting some special accesses. **whispers to her**
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then go ahead and talk to them."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Please. Those two are only going to get more destructive with Sparkling
<DeathStar> <Selena> Or needy.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Only because she never says no firmly.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And their behavior is going to be counterproductive in the face of our pro-spirit iniitiative."
<DeathStar> *As Sasha says that, they're pulling Sparkling to the icecream store*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-647.8.5
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *Asarar sits on her bar when Ymir comes in tosses a report from her police force* All those bars you were going after have been dealt with. Of course, we believe that they got their foot in thanks to Kumen black market groups.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> So becareful - those clubs will likely be filled back with new faces
<DeathStar> *Cloé pauses in her milkshake*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Nooo. New people will want to nab kitties?
<Seraphna> Luci> Hmmm. Should we keep an eye on them Kitten?
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Well, in the repots, my people listed groups that I believe you should keep an eye on so you can follow money trails
<DeathStar> <Ymir> That will help you if you want to pursue this. You'll be paid accordingly. *She sets the credits down*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks out from a door behind the bar* "If we make it too expensive for them, they will move on. Criminals though they are, their main purpose is profit."
<DeathStar> *Asarar takes the money* Well, That'll be the plan then. *she watches Cloe crawl toward Bella's room*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Alright, I'll alert you when something happens
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Through Luci
<Seraphna> **Luci winks at her** Dinner tonight babe?
<DeathStar> *Ymir pauses to leave, turning her head* I .. suppose we can. I will check my schedule. *She nods her head in agreement, then steps out. Leaving Asarar to eyeball Luci afterward*
<Seraphna> Luci> What? **eyes back**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...hrrrrm..." *turns and heads into the back*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I still am just ... confused. That's all. *She sips her drink* You just don't act coupleish
<Seraphna> Luci> She’s shy in front of others.
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyebrow rises a bit at that*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> <Selena> Alright, the past week or so I been working with the Alliance, even the Legion... though, well, we'll get into that later. And we been making pro-Spirit campaigns with the Spirits all together and doing various things, along with their children and even the elder spirits.
<DeathStar> <Selena> And putting it out. *She shows the posters*
<DeathStar> *Gwen yawns, looking at the presentation*
<Alicia> * Sparkling has been trying to get the ship spirits to behave, at least in public, though likely without a huge amount of success
<DeathStar> *Melodie right now, infact, is hanging off her*
<DeathStar> *Being 10 in this time period*
<DeathStar> <Selena> IT would appear though that Mykel might be caving in
<DeathStar> <Selena> And shifting Salamander out for a brief time
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Took some inspiration from Kumen?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> For her protection
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Explain."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Keeping idiots targeting her over their assumptions away from her no doubt.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Due to the strange spirit robberies occuring, due to Sylph, Gnome, and Salamander, they are very unpopular, and the Legion nobles especially after everything wish something to be done, so Mykel to appease them and to protect Salamander thinks and Edna should stay here; then have Edna take up her duties after a time in their land
<DeathStar> <Selena> Edna was already practically doing it
<DeathStar> *Selena hands a poster to Nicolette*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks up* "Ahhhh... are the thefts actually rogue proxies leftover from the Vision incident?"
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Still not sure how I feel about this, but if it works..."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Rogue..proxies?
<DeathStar> *Selena pauses in handing out posters before handing the rest to her Knights*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Have we asked Sylph, Gnome, and Salamander if that is possible?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You know… it might be. Let’s ask one.
<DeathStar> *Mélodie poses* I'll go beat up the proxies. *She rushes off*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You know... the out-of-control proxies made by the Vision. That would explain it, if some are still around."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> However if I find out the Legion nobility is making shit up there won’t be a Legion nobility. I’m tired of this.
<DeathStar> *Selena walks toward the new treehouse that Sylph made - it looks even crazier than before, with a cat section added*
<DeathStar> *as they approach though, a flaming comet heads toward the group*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Holy crap. *he panics and curls up*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan opens a Foxhole. The other end pointed skyward**
<DeathStar> *As the flaming comet comes closer, they can see it's actually Sabrina out of control and on fire; she enters the foxhole and shoots upward, going upward now*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... *dusts himself off* Ah, well... I'm sure she'll be fine.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What is going on up there?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I have no idea.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well I saved her from crashing.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Someone else can save her in general.
<DeathStar> *Gwen moves and knocks on Sylph's door.
<DeathStar> *a moment or two passes - then Neekito peeks out suspiciously*
<Ari`> * Nicolette heads out to check on Sabrina, because this is kinda concerning
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Yes? *To those who are at the door?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hi. Know anything about rogue proxies robbing nobility or do I get to kill nobility today?
<DeathStar> *Selena goes with Nicolette, transforming into spirit mode and gives her a lift to try to find her*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> .. what?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Legion nobles are claiming Sylph, Gnome and Salamander are attacking people.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> ... *eyes how Kaelan phrased that* Can we speak to Sylph? <Neekito> Some people have been throwing stuff at the house at night. But I'll bring her out.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **glowers**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> For the record, it's not just the legion noble that are accusing. They're just the more vocal ones - who want Salamander out. Other nobles from other lands like the Naturalist and what not are also accusing
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Remember the carriages being robbed?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> After that they took to robbing houses when the carries stopped
<DeathStar> *Sylph steps out and looks sheepish, fluttering about in pixie form*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Kaelan, you might want to consider your phrasing more carefully in future..."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns** Wait.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Waaaait.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *works on one of her ethereal consoles while the others prepare to talk to Sylph*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Are ALL the complaints claims of larsony?
<DeathStar> *Sylph pauses*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ohhh... what was stolen, anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> And some attacks on the carriages and noble houses mostly. It's why I said it was un-spirit like
<DeathStar> *Sylph begins to fall down to not moving*
<DeathStar> *meanwhile nicolette and Selena find a crater
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah that sounds like serial robbers trying to frame spirits.
<Seraphna> **Tendrils prop Sylph up**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> The poblem is there was spirit energy found by my Peacekeepers
<DeathStar> <Sylph> .. can Sylph go now?
<DeathStar> *she sounds tired*
<Ari`> * Nicolette jumps down and hurries over, looking for Sabrina. She already has her cards in hand, in case she's hurt
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks up* "...why are you so tired?"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina is half buried into the ground, comedically upside down almost; signs of ice magic dripping off of her can be seen, likely as a way to protect her as she tries to free herself*
<DeathStar> *though she still looks burnt a bit*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Is there a chance there are rogue Sylph proxies, Sylph? And who is throwing stuff?
<Ari`> * Nicolette kneels by Sabrina, helping her into a resting position as she casts a healing spell
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Ow ow. Thanks. *She eyes her long silver hair ruined in places* Aw geeze. This will take time to fix. *she uses her wand to fix her outfit* I was attacked by... Salamander.
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... Excuse me?
<DeathStar> *Sylph blinks* Rogue Proxies *She thinks* Like in what way? *she ignores the throwing question*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> There’s a theory that some of the Vision proxies might be behind the attacks.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Did we get them all?
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Salamander? Why would..." She frowns, "We might need to step things up if they've reached THIS point."
<Alicia> * Ceilidh sighs. "This is going to turn out to be a bigger problem than any of us thought, isn't it?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> All proxies are controlled by me but.... there might have been a loop hole
<DeathStar> *Selena helps Sabrina up* I'll fly you both back tot he others
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Loop hole?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh?" *looks up again*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> We did not control proxies while over there but when came back they should have gone away
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Only one way they could have stayed
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Controlled by an alternate version?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Controlled by a summoni
<DeathStar> *Selena arrives with Nicolette and Sabrina, who is playing with her hair*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...what sort of summoni would do that?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> It is only theory; if I am not control of proxy, and proxy is not rampaging, it is a summoni's
<Ari`> * Nicolette is keeping an eye on Sabrina, despite having already healed her
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "The kind who want an easy way to steal."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I was attacked by Salamander
<DeathStar> *Sabrina pulls out a charred map and points at a hole* There!
<Seraphna> **Kaelan eyes it** We’re going.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Okay. <Sylph> ..Should..I come?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina folds up her map*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Do you want to? You seem… harassed lately.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What would someone gain by attackign Sabrina though?"
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "What were you up to, Sabrina?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I was investigating the spirit robberies. I was over the Legion noble housing when I saw Salamander breaking into a house and when I swooped into check, I got hit with so much force of fire, I got sent flying
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> By now she's probably long gone but there might be clues
<DeathStar> *Sylph sits on Ceilidh in pixie form*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Kaelan. Take us in
<Seraphna> **Kaelsn shadow warps them**
<DeathStar> *they spot Legion investigators swarming the noble house where scorch marks can be seen on the adjacent noble house - like where Sabrina was attacked* <Selena> Well, the Salamander Proxy was here, I doubt she is anymore. <Lumi> My fear is the real Salamander might be in trouble
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I tried to get back as fast as I could. But I got sent back into the sky.
<DeathStar> *she tugs on her hair, crackling with an odd aura*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm. I wonder if any nation would ever be truly stupid enough to oust their spirit.
<DeathStar> <Selena> It is the Legion
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh...based upon what I know, if the spirits were removed, the Legion territories would either ice over or turn into an uninhabitable lava field. It depends on if the fires go out or become uncontrolled."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> They do border the line on stupid moves for selfish reasons. But it would be interesting to see how they hope to stand when they put themselves on the losing end of the balance.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> People
<DeathStar> <Lumi> We need to find these summoni.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Do we have any abilities on hand to do that?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That, I agree on. Any idea how?"
<DeathStar> *Selena thinks*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...there must be some sort of spirit connection with the summoni."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses and turns into a large dark Kitsune monster, sniffing around**
<Ari`> * Nicolette focuses on her cards, trying to sense out a general direction of where to look
<DeathStar> *Nicolette's cards point her - oddly enough - down the mountain toward the technology ridden city*
<DeathStar> <Selena> you want to risk sniffing down there, Kaelan?
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "The city... huh..."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Yes, up top is the noble part and the palace, down in the main city is where all the technology risdes
<DeathStar> *I can't spell
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I’m not really all that scared of a bunch of prissy Legionnaires.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Alright lets go. *As they walk down the path, they see the Legion city streets have large holovid sceens showing off Kumen and PAX technology, stores with the latest wares - from Kumen and the Suisen Empire, everything that is not Geyze like. It's like stepping off world. Light systems are being installed indicating vehicles might be added. Oh and soldiers are coming for Kaelan with swords, but she does get a scene from the residental district*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Oh dear. *She hides in Ceilidh's breasts*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan changes back, sans her kimono to throw off the soldiers** Problem boys?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I didn't expect to see something like this..."
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Could those fake mages be involved?"
<DeathStar> *The soldiers pause, then poke Kaelan with a sword, then move on*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan poofs back and resumes her sniffing**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> The fake mages? *She opens her notes on all their enemies*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The oens that were spreading the Vision?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Gotcha
<DeathStar> <Lumi> If it is them, then according to what I learned from the others
<DeathStar> <Lumi> The enemy would be from Earth
<DeathStar> <Lumi> They were using mage outfits along with Earth tech to pretend to be mages -
<Jackieness> <Lana> "They are considered terrorists by the Earth authorities."
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "It'd make sense why we're being led to this part..."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "This tech feels earth-like, but I'm not familiar with modern Kumen, so I might be wrong there."
<DeathStar> *As they move along they see what appears to be a residental district - one can see housing, schools for the housing, hospitals, etc - the trail is definitely leading them here*
<DeathStar> <Selena> If it is them and their Phantom leader is dead I am curious what goal they could have to rob people
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Chaos?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe just survival."
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Could just be to survive at this point. Who knows what resources they have?"
<DeathStar> *they stop outside an old looking building; the words on it read: The Science of Summoning but it looks like this particular science was no longer needed with Legion pivoting away from spirits outside Salamander being a ceremonial role*
<DeathStar> <Selena> In here?
<DeathStar> *She eyes Nico and Kaelan*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...would be almost like advertising."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sniffs**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's the obvious first place to look.."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah they’re in there.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina marches through the doors - which causes them to fall off the hinges and clatter on the floor*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> .. oops
<Ari`> * Nicolette cringes
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I'll remain outside and keep an eye on any runners
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...maybe they are making a statement?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> *Carefully steps over the fallen door* And what might that be?
<DeathStar> *there's a long hallway before them that splits off into a plus shape. With no lights working, it's rather dark. Sabrina squints as she shuffles ahead*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... soemthign political."
<Ari`> * Nicolette conjures a small orb of light as she heads in slowly
<DeathStar> *as they reach the center of the + in the hallway, down the bottom of it, a massive wave of flames comes flying at them. Sabrina jerks her head* <Sabrina> Ah! Not again!
<Jackieness> <Lana> *raises her hands and weaves a barrier field generator into existence*
<Seraphna> **A wall of consuming shadows flies up to protect them**
<DeathStar> *The flames hits the protections put up, the heat not even reaching them, but the rest of the hallway can be seen taking massive damage. The Salamander steps through the door at the end and vanishes*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well then
<DeathStar> *At the opposite end of the hallway, wind begins to form and flies at their back*
<DeathStar> *while they're focused on their barrier*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses, then moves towards the door but stops outside the wall near it… and stabs tendrils through into the room**
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ! *turns to try to make her own wind to cut it off while on Ceilidh*
<Ari`> * Nicolette creates a windbreak of stone behind them. "Such a greeting!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "If you cna pin her down..." *arms one of her spirit traps* "...bang."
<DeathStar> *with Nicolette's help, they stop the wind attack*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan then Kool-Aid mans into the other room swords forming**
<DeathStar> <Selena> We're sort of being hit from both sides
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... one is a wind proxy,b ut we have the real Sylph with us."
<DeathStar> *The wind proxy does a retreat too, after Nico and Sylph stop it*
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Sylph, can you tell us anything about this?" *lets the wall crumble*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I can definitely 'feel' it, but I have no control over it. Maybe if I can touch it, I can regain control. <Selena> But it might have vision in it. <Sylph> It might. Right now it's like *She thinks* I made a piece of myself to answer a call and instead of being able to jump to that body or even am faintly am aware of it, I have no idea it exists.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> But it's there faintly
<DeathStar> *Kaelan meanwhile finds herself in a stairwell*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So what do weo do?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sniffs about**
<DeathStar> <Selena> We can either fight it, or have Sylph grab control
<DeathStar> *upstairs?*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What do we do if it does have vision in?"
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "What do you want to do, Sylph?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *thinks* I'll risk taking it over. Fighting 3 proxies could be troublesome. That way you have only two.
<DeathStar> <Selena> It looks like Kaelan ran off. She's probably about to be ambushed
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses, then steps into a shadow, sneaking along in them as she has Su come out and summons Nocty to join her. Silly people, Kaelan IS the Ambush.**
<DeathStar> *Selena leads her team up the stairs with Sylph Proxy*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Lets go
<Jackieness> <Lana> *proceeds with Team Selena*
<DeathStar> *As they reach the top floors, they see the "summoni" have made a defensive line of broken desks, tables, and more. Men in Summoni cloaks hide behind them with Earth weapons, aimed at the doors and begin to fire a Kaelan's team, set to vaporize, hitting Nocturne who vanishes - perhaps gone forever. As Sudako goes for the men when Salamander appears to burn at Kaelan and Sudako. At the same time setting the place on fire. (cont)
<DeathStar> *meanwhile at the same time, Selena's team as they arrive on the burning floor, having vaporizing shots fired at them, chunks of their cover taken out, Gnome PRoxy and Sylph Proxy do a combo for their team*
<DeathStar> *Earth and Wind flying at the group*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan splits into two and as Kaelan foxholes fire away her other self stabs for "Salamander"'s back**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'll try to contain Gnome. Tag Sylph with...ahhh...Sylph!" *triggers the spirit trap before tossing it toward the Gnome proxy*
<Ari`> * Nicolette throws up an earth wall, trying to block some of those vaporizing shots
<DeathStar> *one of the men grabs a bag of their riches and tries to escape*
<DeathStar> *Gnome tosses an Earth wall to block the spirit trap*
<DeathStar> *while Sylph and her Proxy wrestle*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan's real self opens the fox hole under the fleeing man, with the fire waiting to spout out**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...Ahh, can someone do soemthign about Gnome's powers!"
<DeathStar> *Salamander tries to bring down Kaelan with her into the flames while they wrestle and being stabbed; the man curses*
<DeathStar> *Gnome throws a rock at Lana*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan winks at her and thrusts tendrils out at Salamander from close, doing the scary Dark One thing while she morphs herself out of the hold and leaps back, her shadow self slashing up Salamander's back**
<Jackieness> <Lana> A"hhh, h-hey! Now she's throwing rocks at me!"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina aims and blasts Gnome's wall*
* Ari` has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Now!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She's an Earth Spirit, use Water.
* Ari` has joined #TAW-Geyze
<DeathStar> *Sabrina keeps her wand charged and blasting at Gnome*
<DeathStar> *Gnome keeps trying to reform her defense, a large hand reaching out to grab everyone*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to retrigger the trap*
<DeathStar> *Salamander's turns into a firebird and flies at both Kaelans when suddenly Sparkling is thrown into the room at the man firing their blasts; Nicolette's wall nearly depleted by now, and hits them like bowling pins*
<DeathStar> *at the same time Gnome the proxy is trapped*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh, got her!"
<DeathStar> *Sylph returns to Ceilidh, looking shakey*
<Seraphna> **The fake takes the hit for the real, dispersing in a splatter of lcky dark one goop that starts pressing in on and eating at the firebird as Kaelan foxholes out of the way**
<DeathStar> *by now with all 3 proxies gone, the building is completely burning. Melodie and Aimee stand behind the group, having thrown Sparkling*
<DeathStar> <Selena> We need to do ; this place is going up
<DeathStar> *go
<Seraphna> **Kaelan grunts and opens another foxhole, tossing people through it and out into the street**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh!"
<DeathStar> *Selena grunts and Sylph clings to Ceilidh in pixie form*
<Ari`> * Nicolette strengthens her wall, forming it up into a dome to try to support the building
<DeathStar> *Melodie and Aimee hurry and grab Sparkling while she does this*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh keeps Sylph safe, while Sparkling uses her shields to support the building
<DeathStar> **As they get everyone out, as well as the bag of riches, one of the men crawl away as they all get out*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan growls at the man, reaching to toss Su at him**
<DeathStar> *Lumi pulls back his summoni cloak; a tattoo can be seen on his face that looks military like*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Catch that guy! And don't let him bite his teeth!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Wait what?
<DeathStar> *She grabs his jaw all the same*
<DeathStar> *Melodie hugs off of Sparkling* We saved the day.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmhmm. **she takes pictures of each of their faces**
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> You need to quit abusing Spark
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Come on, lets get you all back
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Academy
<DeathStar> *As the team arrives, Salamander is there waiting for them with Edna, both of them having their priestesses and bags*
<DeathStar> *The men they caught having been sent in to get information on - it looking like they are remnants of Venerator's Vision operatives who had nowhere to run and controlled some proxies*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Good news, you've been exhonerated already Sally.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I heard. But there's still a little unrest so Mykel wanted to err on the side of caution until your campaign worked fully. So we'll stay here for a bit
<DeathStar> *She looks around* We'll try to find a spot that won't bother anyone.
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Well... think of it as a vacation!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How does he keep doing this?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... he cna't keep his own nobles in line."
<DeathStar> <Salamander> True. It is nice to have a change of pace. <Sabrina> It is nice to change things up. And if they keep acting up I can go have a talk with them *She smiles creepily*
<Seraphna> **Alita appears** I just heard from my husband... ah Lady Salamander I see you and Lady Edna made it safely here.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well over the next few weeks we'll think of more activities - maybe things with the spirits and public. We need to help get the community ties back outside just having the spirits appear and do jobs
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Don't worry, if they keep accusing the spirit swithout cause he won't have to worry about them long.
<DeathStar> *She moves off, working on ideas*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Sabrina..."
<DeathStar> *Salamander bows to Alita* I did
<DeathStar> *Sabrina bounce hugs Sparkling and drags her off* Come on. Lets do something.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Right!" *seems to instantly improve in mood*
<DeathStar> -END For Now-
