Geyze: Record of Spirit War Session 4

Session Start: Wed Sep 14 00:00:00 2022

<DeathStar> *Lumi eyes paperwork*
<Seraphna> **Thena rubs her shoulders**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Woof
<Seraphna> Thena> Mew
<DeathStar> <Lumi> *nods*
<Seraphna> **Thena nods back**
<DeathStar> *Lumi works with Thena*
<Seraphna> **Thena works diligently with Lumi and then sets a small box in front of Lumi**
<DeathStar> *Lumi reaches as if to eat it comically*
<Seraphna> Thena> Open~
<DeathStar> *Lumi blinks, then opens it up*
<Seraphna> **Inside is a ring**
<DeathStar> *Lumi blinks, ears standing up*
<Seraphna> Thena> Marry me~?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I--I... *she flusters, glancing around the office* Um. Woof.
<Seraphna> **Thena kisses her, as she speaks fluent Lumi**
<DeathStar> *Lumi returns the kiss, flushed, putting the ring on*

<DeathStar> Date: 10-644.3.23
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *it has been 3 months since the return of the Spirits and news has spread fast among the Kingdoms; however, none of the original spirits have taken up their roles, which had led to some confusion - it seems the younger spirits are now that true spirits of Geyze due to the spirits being gone for so long (Cont)
<DeathStar> *and rumor has begun to spread that the spirits are now weaker than they were before, unable to manifest as much power than they could before. Not only that, the spirits seem to be staying to themselves in their respective kingdoms, no longer interacting with each other outside Shade with Aska and Sylph, since Shade's new grotto is on the Academy grounds and Sylph lives there with Ellie (Cont)
<DeathStar> *Lumi holds a meeting to discuss a few topics, including the fact Death remains missing to this day. The Aquarius is in orbit around Geyze, and it's expected Yuki might visit later since the children are in class at the Kid's ACademy*
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Geyze
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Alright. *She shuffles her paperwork*
<Seraphna> **Jaime appears in the meeting room holding Terra, who is in turn holding a giant jackfruit**
<Seraphna> **Thena sets out the agenda**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> The Kingdoms have been getting little rowdy lately about the spirits being back. *Surprisingly in the meeting is one Neophyx, a collar on her*
<Seraphna> **Talia, Mother of Familiars, Rider of Pillows, Bringer of Cats, attends**
<DeathStar> *Aska and Shade sit in some chairs, attending quietly*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The people are disappointed with the returned spirits."
<DeathStar> <Aska> They are also not quite acting themselves yet. <Shade> We've been getting reports across the Kingdom that the spirits are lacking in certain areas and im memory
<DeathStar> <Shade> Salamander has been having to renew connections and I'm told she doesn't remember any of them
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmmm. Gnome’s been a tad different but that’s only to be expected with the trauma she went through.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "It would not surprise me if we start to hear agitators claim that the spirits are frauds."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Seems like there was some decay or something, while they were without cores."
<DeathStar> <Aska> It is possible. Brooke has returned back to the name Undine
<Seraphna> Jaime> The Ents haven’t been as bothered with the transition I think because they’ve celebrated Terra since her birth.
<Seraphna> **Terra wiggles her jackfruit**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So, it was memory loss."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Are we sure that's all?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Could the new cores also be influencing their personalities?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's possible, or it could be that the memories were on their old cores."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Notably, Gnome’s feelings towards me if anything seem more amplified. She’s also super alert and no longer sleepy so often.
<DeathStar> <Aska> The cores are part of us.
<DeathStar> <Aska> They grow with us over time.
<DeathStar> <Shade> So these new cores might not be big enough yet to house ... us.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "So...its possible that the cores have...leaked."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Shade seems rather normal so far. I haven't seem her acting all forgetful
<Seraphna> Jaime> Does that mean with time they might be more themselves?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I haven't noticed anything different about Shade either."
<DeathStar> <Aska> ... I'm not sure Jaime. It could be they might not return to normal and those memories are lost. Like Brooke never regained her memories the first time.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** It seems less a capacity issue if Brooke lost even her chosen name. She is technically the youngest since rebirth.
<DeathStar> *Lumi taps a feather* We'll have to look into it. Maybe spirit tech or something can help out down the road
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Alright next on the agenda
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Death is still missing and hasn't popped up in months
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Should we assume she is gone?
<Seraphna> Thena> Perhaps she is keeping to herself to sort things out.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I recall a plan to try to put in a trigger to change her back to her original self..."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I don't know. At the very least, she doesn't have the same vendetta."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Maybe she's still achieved her goals?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I don't like mysteries. I asked Kalam and she claims she never appeared. The Summoni have surprisingly been rapidly recovering the past 3 months, much quicker than I would have thought - locating missing tomes and relics and been restoring their old monestary. They've even begun a recruitmen drive
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I suppose outside our spirits and the Kingdoms being in tizzy, things are returning to normal.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I wonder what the purpose of all this was."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Is there a possibility that Death is helpign the Summoni to make up for her actions?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> With Alita helping and the Ents throwing in their hands it shouldn’t be too surprising, though the Ents aren’t too eager to take part up north.
<DeathStar> <Neophyx> You should be wary of organizations being out to use the spirits now that their memories are compromised
<Seraphna> Terra> Use Terra?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It's a possibility I suppose.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> But I'm not sure why Kalam would lie about using Death
<DeathStar> <Neophyx> No, using your mother.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Perhaps Death swore her to silence. I would not blame either of them."
<Seraphna> Terra> If they use Momma I will not give them any fruit.
<Seraphna> Jaime> The ultimate penalty.
<DeathStar> <Neophyx> Some would not care about lack of fruit.
<Seraphna> **Terra looks at Neophyx alarmed and disbelieving**
<Seraphna> Terra> Even monsters like fruit!
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Well if that is the case
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Then there is little we can do unless we wanted to send Peacekeepers up there to find out
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "According to reports across campus, Sylph has apparently abandoned fruit and has been steelign candy."
<Jackieness> stealing
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Wait, seriously? Now I'm worried..."
<Seraphna> Terra> Auntie Sylph might be ill…
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... that's not just memory loss."
<DeathStar> *Sylph sits on a tree with some hard candy*
<DeathStar> *sucking on it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It could be if her love if fruit was tied to a memory.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Maybe she just found something else to entertain herself
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It is Sylph
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Regardless, its become a bigger nuisance. Fruit fat leats gows on tress. Candy means raids on shops and houses."
<Jackieness> at least
<DeathStar> *Lumi glances at her communication device, checking a message*
<DeathStar> <Aska> Surely Sylph will not raid stores
<Seraphna> Jaime>Mmm, could arrange offering of candy with her people.
<DeathStar> <Shade> We are suggesting she takes candy from strangers?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I was gonna say her packed should be safe but you worry otherwise?
<DeathStar> <Shade> I have had packed before be dubious. But very well
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Asarar is asking for some of us to come up briefly. Which does lead me to my third point, which I'll go over briefly before we head up there
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mm?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Aska is going to become the Spirit of Light for Kumen, since it lacks one and Soren is the Spirit of light here. <Aska> I am aware things with the spirits here a little dubious, so I will continue to lend my wisdom here when needed. Simply call on me when you need me.
<DeathStar> <Shade> They also need a Spirit of Darkness. I asked Nocturne and she turned down the idea.
<DeathStar> <Shade> So I'll be joining Aska on Kumen
<Seraphna> Terra> Wonder what Nocty up to…
<DeathStar> <Shade> I believe she said "cooler things"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well, you won't be going far. And Kumen could use your guidance."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Though your pacted bloodline is ehre on Geyze, Lady Aska."
<Seraphna> Terra> Soren make sure we behave.
<DeathStar> <Aska> I imagine even though I'll be on Kumen, I'll still be here quite often. Soren is here and I am tied to the Hapian Castle
<DeathStar> <Aska> *nodding to Sasha*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nods as well*
<Seraphna> Terra> Need make sure Tenebrae like fruit.
<DeathStar> <Shade> Plus that would leave Void to babysit the others
<DeathStar> <Shade> And he would just be hands off.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I am sure he would love that."
<Seraphna> Jaime> He has Alita now to handle the hands on parts.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Left alone with that responsibility, we'd never see him again."
<DeathStar> *somewhere, Void has made it so his cave has even more trials to reach him*
<Seraphna> **Alita wonders where they will get the water lizards**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Alright, lets go see Asarar real quick. *She stands up*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Follow me. *Aska and Shade stand up and she walks out to go to Luci's bar*
<DeathStar> *Sylph is hanging out in the bar now, pestering Luci about hard candy*
<Seraphna> **Luci muses** I can stock up on more but I’mma need something in return cutie.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *rises and walks with Lumi*
<Seraphna> **Talia and Jaime follow while Terra goes Fae hunting**
<Ariel> * Nicolette heads after
<DeathStar> *Fae is trying to make something for Sylph - it looks like a doll*
<Seraphna> **Terra tilts her head** Doll?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Cannot give anything Ellie would not approve of
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Maybe let see chest - that is limit
<DeathStar> *Lumi stares as she walks in*
<DeathStar> *Fae nods to Terra*
<DeathStar> *Neophyx heads back to cell for now*
<Seraphna> Luci> Was talking wind related help babe.
<Seraphna> **Terra makes some dancing mud dolls**
<DeathStar> <Sylph> How so?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> We're using your teleporter.
<DeathStar> *walks by them* This way
<Alicia> * Ceilidh walks wiith
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps on to the teleporter*
<Seraphna> Luci> You know, summoning magick and makin it blustery when I need.
<DeathStar> *As the leave, it seems Sylph has made a deal with a demon*
<DeathStar> *for candy*
<DeathStar> *arriving at Asarar's bar, Asarar looks up, gesturing them over* Ah, you're here. *The other Elder Spirits seem to be standing about and Aska and Shade move to join them*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Welcome. Drinks? Food?
<DeathStar> *The children seem to be here from Bella to Cherie and Cloe - who is in her cat armor*
<DeathStar> *Cloé waves at Nicolette*
<Seraphna> **Nell floats Cloe in the armor**
<DeathStar> *Cloé merowls in side, flailing*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Let's discuss the matter first. Then I'll decide if i need a drink."
<Seraphna> Nell> Not fun? Oh well. **puts her down**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, there's two. Ymir is finally going to try to move the spirits to their respective temples soon now that they're popular.
<DeathStar> <Frost> ... you made us idols
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Isn't that what you were going for?"
<DeathStar> <Gale> We know lots of songs and dances.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Perhaps we should import your spirit training methods to Geyze if they truly are working."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, hopefully it works out this time. We'll be protecting them again as they go to their temples. We just would like some of you to help out when the time comes.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Just to be safe.
<DeathStar> <Gaia> Can we still do the idol thing? <Cypher> I'm told Ymir has a system set up so you can all keep coming together to do your idols. She plans to have you compete against Athena's idols.
<Ariel> * Nicolette still hasn't wrapped her head around this sort of idol worship
<DeathStar> <Aska> I have no idea how to do idols. Me and Shade will stay out of that.
<DeathStar> <Shade> Agreed.
<Seraphna> Thena> No doubt my counterpart will visit you soon.
<DeathStar> <Pyro> ....Why should you not suffer with me?
<DeathStar> *burns*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyway, in addition to needing spirit protection help, we might have a situation on the Aquarius.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "If it's so bad, why DID you decide to do it?"
<DeathStar> <Pyro> The others and Thena made me.
<Seraphna> Jaime> A situation?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Of course Thena would do something like that..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Please, do continue."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Back when we were all turnd into children. *She turns to Nicolette since she was one of the few not deaged*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It seems the Aquarius was in orbit around Geyze and Kumen. When the ship was contacted, it looks like someone was on it, having taken it over. Jelly
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But when it was all resolved there was no sign of him
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Despite promising to visit te kids
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Who was it?"
<DeathStar> <Aska> Sounds like a condiment
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well suddenly the Aquarius was locked down by a hidden program left on the ship and Yuki can't move it out of orbit and Mireille has stopped moving. And the ship is slowly approaching the bar. Despite us being underground
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Did you run into anyone like that during the whole incident?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And where is this...elly?"
<DeathStar> <Cypher> No idea.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyway, if you all didn't run into Jelly, he must have prorammed it into the Aquarius before everyone was aged back up
<Seraphna> Jaime> And it has affected the little Mire?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll go to the Aquarius and see if I can try to fix the hack and keep it from crashing into the bar. *To Jaime* I can't say until I see his work. Can you all start the journey to the temples just in case I fail and this place blows up
<DeathStar> *puts on her coat*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "This may be a feint to draw you away from the bar."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It could be.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "This is a lot to take in."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Grab some drinks and take your time before you set out. I'm sure the ship won't hit the bar right away
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Assuming I Fail
<DeathStar> *she steps out*
<DeathStar> <Frost> She sure gives a lot of confidence
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Asarar's the only hacker like person we have right this second
<Seraphna> Jaime> I could bring my wife in.
<DeathStar> *Lumi glances at the map of the temples for the Kumen spirits*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Are you sure you want to bring her in?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is it terribly risky?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I would have thought a ship crash would be a more serious threat to the planet..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "WE should evacuate the children to Geyze where Luci will be able to watch them over."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, kids! Time to go to Geyze!
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *flees to the teleporter with Cherie when the teleporter makes a noise*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> *looks up* ...?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "That's... not what I meant..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...and there it goes."
<DeathStar> <Pyro> I Think what Nicolette is saying is we need to blow that ship up
<DeathStar> *she zooms out the door*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I could take them myself.
<DeathStar> <Frost> ... *Facepalms*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *makes fighting fists* Me and Bella can beat up Mustard
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...still not what I meant..."
<Jackieness> <Bella> *poses*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I wonder if Ymir knows about the Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Lumi> There isn't alarm going off or anything
<Seraphna> **Thena tries to contact her**
<DeathStar> *the comms see offline*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Still, I find the timing of the teleporter malfunction to be suspect."
<DeathStar> *the lights go off*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> ...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "On your guard, everyone."
<Seraphna> Thena> Is there some reason this Jelly might be an asshole?
<Ariel> * Nicolette casts a light spell so they're not in the dark
<Seraphna> Jaime> Kay I am taking the kids.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> If I recall, he molests women's asses
<DeathStar> *Nicolette would spot someone moving around in the darkness*
<Seraphna> **Jaime gathers the runts**
<Ariel> * Nicolette pulls her cane from her cloak, "Who's there?"
<DeathStar> *and then after slapping Ceilidh's rump, a terminal makes noise as data is being downloaded*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves from the shadows and slashes at the terminal*
<DeathStar> *the terminal makes noise as it dies*
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports with the kids if possible**
<DeathStar> *Jaime escapes with the kids as Cloé tries to leap at the figure, making her slam into the wall og the new location*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...take the choildren to safety. I will deal with this." *moves back into the shadows*
<DeathStar> *The figure scurries around, trying to avoid Nicolette's light and whaps Sasha's rump and goes for the stairs*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> They're running
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ah, it got me."
<Jackieness> <Kira> *follows the footsteps to the stairs*
<DeathStar> *The figure freezes*
<Seraphna> **Talia floods the room with Kitteny doom, tiny spirit cats hunting the figure**
<DeathStar> *The lights come back on and all there is, is a suspicious cardboard box*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> What in the world?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Is that?
<Jackieness> <Kira> *kicks the box over*
<Seraphna> **The kittens attempt to fill it**
<DeathStar> *it is empty outside the cats
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Nothing."
<Seraphna> **Talia gets in it too**
<DeathStar> *Talia might notice something off about the room, but she got in the box*
<DeathStar> *so she is defeated*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> But who put the box down?
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks the perimeter of the room, looking for cluses*
<DeathStar> *it doesn't look like anyone left the room*
<Seraphna> Talia> Something different about the world outside the box.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> They were near the stairs, my ears told me that much
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Well unless we have a detect spell
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves to examine the stairs*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We'll have to drop it probavly.
<DeathStar> *the stairs have a bit of a smudge, like someone quickly got off of them due to cats coming in*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Here."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We'll have to drop it probably need to move onto something else. *She glances at the smudge*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> That just doesn't tell us much
<DeathStar> <Lumi> We could leave Talia here to keep an eye out
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Move on then. I'm hunting."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Fair enough. *Turns to Nicolette*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Nico
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Hmm?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> What do you feel like pursuing most?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Right now we have a few cases open
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well... what are the most important ones right now?"
<Jackieness> <Kira> *slips away as she hunts for 'Jelly'*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> The ship is one, but if we trust Asarar and Jaime's wife to handle that since we're not hackers.... There's escorting the Elder Spirits to their temple. There's investigating the other spirits in their Kingdoms to see how they're doing. Right now we just have eye accounts of Sylph, but I'd like to have some of our people check out Salamander and Brooke and so on. And try to follow up on leads with Death
<DeathStar> *After Kira walks off, a ninja wallpaper drops revealing Jelly*
<DeathStar> *he begins to creep up the stairs, Cypher staring incredulously*
<Seraphna> **Thena fixes her glasses and floats Jelly into the air**
<DeathStar> *Jelly aims something at Thena and she begins to have her brain filled with images of the other Thena's thoughts*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *runs and kicks at jelly's face*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Feel like getting the elders to their temples is probably the first priority. The ship... well, that's out of my field. And things on Geyze are stableish for now."
<Ariel> * Nicolette doesn't seem to notice the Jelly situation
<Seraphna> **Talia leaps and bites Jelly’s wrist with the device**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Alright lets see to that then. *pockets the locations as Jelly yelps*
<DeathStar> <Frost> ... such crude methods.
<DeathStar> <Gale> ... he probably has rabies
<Seraphna> **Thena rubs her head**
<DeathStar> *Jelly shakily tries to smoke bomb*
<DeathStar> <Lumi. Come on Thena.
<Seraphna> Thena> You will now fix the ship or be disintegrated.
<Seraphna> **Talia cat leaps at his face and clings**
<Jackieness> <Bella> *kick kick kicks*
<DeathStar> *Jelly goes down, more tools and other things spilling out*
<DeathStar> *including pictures of Asarar, Kira, and Yuki*
<Seraphna> Talia> Bad Jelly!
<Jackieness> <Bella> *kicks him while he's down*
<DeathStar> *Cypher holds what looks to be a contract to steal information from the Aquarius and them for another company*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ... Jelly jelly. *she grabs a thing and frees the Aquarius* Consider your contract nulled.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Lumi leads a group along Kumen's grasslands, which have become even healthier with the spirits on Kumen. Plant life is growing more rapidly and as they use a flying car, Aska mumbling about it beinga car instead of a carriage, they pass over wheatfields*
<DeathStar> *Gwen leans back, having joined them*
<DeathStar> <Gaia> So the other spirits are not doing as well lately. That is not good
<DeathStar> <Pyro> What they've been through is practically unheard of.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "We're still trying to work things out, but... yeah. It's not good. But better than the alternative."
<DeathStar> <Leviathan> I have been researching Kumen history and it seems Brooke/Undine did have a slight incident once that might be something akin to it. She was died protecting this planet I believe and was essentially exploded and her essence was sent flying over the city. When she was restored, she had no memory
<DeathStar> <Leviathan> Her core likely was completely destroyed, but managed to regenerate somehow.
<DeathStar> *they soon arrive at a beautiful water village where a water palace has been constructed from the nearby waterways. The people there hold up posters of idol Leviathan for her to sign*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> ..
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ...That's a lof of merch
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...I still don't know what to think of this."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...yes. I've never seen the like on Geyze."
<DeathStar> <Leviathan> I confess we still do not know what to think of it too
<Seraphna> Talia> Pretty stuff! I want some!
<DeathStar> *as she steps out, she is flooded by people, making her sign stuff and pose with the people. Frost and Pyro stare*
<DeathStar> <Frost> That'll be money
<DeathStar> *Asarar catces up finally, looking annoyed and sits in the carriage, leaning back*
<Seraphna> **Talia paws at Pyro** I protect. You mine. Saw first.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "W-well, it seems to be effective for now..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Is that how it is? *He jokes*
<DeathStar> *outside some pushy fans, it looks like Leviathan is fine.. She waves to them as she goes into her temple, where some water priestesses have things set up*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Alright, lets hope things continue to be smooth*
<Seraphna> Talia> Yep. Just like I claimed husband.
<DeathStar> *she flies them and so far, it indeded continues to be so. Frost is next - she has a decent crowd as the leader and it goes smoothly, then Pyro, who seems to have a lower turn out due to her attitude*
<DeathStar> *finally they reach Gaia, who has a massive crowd due to her small size and friendly attidue, making it hard for her to go. Since Gale is set up at the Ymir HQ, she is the last and has to sign and work her way, but it's clear there might be some problem, as she has some fans that look a little possessive*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm, some of these fans are geting a little too touchy.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yes, this could spell trouble in the future."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Especially when it comes time to pact
<Seraphna> Talia> Cat Squad! **tiny kittens wearing shades and ear comes move about distracting fans**
<Seraphna> *comma
<Seraphna> *comms
<DeathStar> *Talia gets a lucky roll and the people are distracted somewhat*
<DeathStar> *allowing Gaia to get closer to her earth temple and slip in with her earth priestesses*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Now, while they are distracted. Get the spirits to safety."
<DeathStar> *The fans loiter abou the entrance now*
<DeathStar> *looking unhappy*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That going to be enough?
<Seraphna> Talia> They should get her some guards.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I agree."
<DeathStar> <Aska> The priestesses are trained in combat
<DeathStar> <Shade> They can deal with fans
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, lets take you back to the bar until your temples are ready.
<DeathStar> <Shade> I am fine staying at your place. I can make a grotto on some floor
<DeathStar> <Aska> Of course you would be. I can do thesame
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Be careful, you might be required to provide service at the bar."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not a bad idea
<Seraphna> **The original Thena appears**
<Seraphna> Thena> I have new idols to train!?
<DeathStar> <Both> No
<Seraphna> **Thena paws and looks cute**
<DeathStar> *They return to the bar, with Aska and Shade heading upstairs to find a floor they like and passing Jelly tied upside down until they decide what to do. He moans Bubblebutt at women passing by*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *to Kira* The Spirits are taking two floors to be their shrine
<Seraphna> **Thena gives chase**
<DeathStar> <Jelly> Bubblebutt. *As she passes*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *takes running jump kicks at Jelly*
<DeathStar> <Jelly> OOF
<Seraphna> **As does a second Thena when they try to split up**
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *Joins in kicking Jelly*
<DeathStar> *with her armor*
<DeathStar> <Jelly> ... Non---Bubble...
<DeathStar> *passes out, a ghost floating out of his mouth*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "W-was that called for?"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *Checks her butt after being called a non-bubble butt
<DeathStar> <Cloé> ... was insulted?
<Seraphna> **Threna spanks Jelly with TK
<DeathStar> *the KOed Jelly jerks about*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "don't worry. He was stupid."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh come on, I feel bad now
<DeathStar> <Asarar> He clearly never intended to crash the ship, just steal our info
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyway, *to Kira* Be sure to charge the two spirits for the floors. Charge it to Ymir
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I already itemized."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Take care of them. Aska and Shade are good friends.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Alright, lets go back.
<DeathStar> *Lumi heads for the teleporter back to the Academy*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *heads back as well*
<Seraphna> **Threna follows her**
<Seraphna> **Jaime does as well**
<DeathStar> *As they arrive back, there's a commotion going on. Cloé, who has returned with them, jerks and stomps out with her armor to save the day when she's hit by wind and sent flying*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> MEROWWWL
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "What is going on?!"
<DeathStar> *it seems Sylph and Shiva, who got her own core a little after the incident and the team could retrieve one from the core chamber when they had time, are facing off. Shiva still on the Academy since she's been recovering slower due to being in spirit form longer than the others.*
<DeathStar> *Sylph gathers wind while Shiva gathers ice, both eyeing the other as Shiva lobs ice at Sylph and she forms wind to send it flying into a tree*
<Seraphna> **Jaime wraps between them and forms esrth walls**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> This looks bad.
<Seraphna> **warps
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *pulls out a whistle worn around her neck like a necklace and blows on it, releasing a high-pitched shriek*
<DeathStar> *Sylph blinks and glances at the two*
<DeathStar> *Shiva winces and glances*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Enough of this!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Fighting, girls? I will call your sisters.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "What's going on here?!"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ... *backs down since everyone is here, peering at people watching them; she shoots a glance at Shiva*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *then pops a candy in mouth* She should go back to her ice lands. Dangerous.
<DeathStar> *She turns to go*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Syyyyylph.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Oh. Here. *offers candy to each of them*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Explain what’s going on missy. Or do I need to get Ellie.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Shiva dangerous. Said that she did not know care or know many of you, and that she only wanted her sister. *Shiva is already looking to go, not giving a crap about this* And once she is strong enough nothing would stop her finding her sister. Not even you
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Memory less spirit is a dangerous one
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Sister?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Also she gives off bad vibes
<DeathStar> <<Lumi> Celsius
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wait that’s all?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Shiva, come here silly.
<DeathStar> <Shiva> Why?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I know where Cel is right now.
<DeathStar> *Shiva looks suspicious but moves over*
<DeathStar> *Cloé returns, looking annoyed*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grabs her data pad and calls Jennifer**
<Seraphna> Jenn> **comms** Yes Jaime?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Celsius with you?
<DeathStar> *Lumi peers at the others, wondering what they make of all this*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer checks** Probably.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer would warp over with her after getting her out of the fridge**
<DeathStar> *Celsius appears and Shiva grabs onto her*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> See she’s fine.
<DeathStar> *Shiva drags her off*
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Shiva~. You're doing better~. Eep~
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Oh this again… **follows after them**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Hm. Well, I'll let Jennifer handle that
<DeathStar> *turns to see Sylph has entered Ellie's house*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> What do you all make of this?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Hmmm...I don't know. We really need to summoni's insight into spirits."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Shiva probably lost the memories of rescuing Celsius.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Yeah, I agree."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> You're right, I'll schedule some time with Kalam
<DeathStar> <Lumi> But Sylph seemed overly hostile
<DeathStar> <Lumi> And the spirits seem to be sticking to their Kingdoms and not leaving them like they're avoiding each other
<Seraphna> Jaime> Are Wind and Ice opposing elements? **she muses**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Actually..
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Wind does damage to Earth
<DeathStar> <Lumi> And Ice does damage to Wind
<Seraphna> Jaime> So Sylph would have reason to primally fear the Twins.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I hope there isn't anything wrong. The cores didn't look as... well, clean, as I would have expected."
<Seraphna> Jaime> But Gnome and Sylph are practically sisters…
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Well, I'm just considering the future.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> If the spirits are inclined to be more hostile toward each other, maybe it's better if they are kept apart,
<DeathStar> <Lumi> But we need another test to be sure
<Seraphna> Jaime> I dunno… it feels like we’re encouraging a separation that Aska previously taught against.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then they are likely akin to sisters who are feuding over their mother's will & estate."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> That's fair. Come with me then Jaime. I want to bring Brooke and Salamander
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Together
<DeathStar> *She motions everyone*
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Location: Amazons
<DeathStar> *Qui bows and greets them, wearing little today as she pours them drinks*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *eyes the ceiling, avoiding glancing at his sister or the other amazons*
<DeathStar> <Qui> It is been too long
<Seraphna> **Talia hops in Qui’s lap**
<Seraphna> Talia> Hi Sis
<DeathStar> *Qui pets* Is everyone well? *food is brought out*
<DeathStar> *including the hard candies, since they are from here*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Pretty well.
<DeathStar> *Selena has joined the group, not one to pass up a trip to the Amazons*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Well, we know the source of the candy that Sylph has been stealing now."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> How has Brooke been?
<DeathStar> <Qui> ... she is much more like her old self. Prideful, haughty, but wise. Vain at times.
<DeathStar> <Qui> She is quiteboastful and beieves in beautiful priestesses and women, but seems to have reverted back to some of her old wisdom instead of being the innocent wonderful Brooke that she was
<DeathStar> <Qui> But there is still information she has lost
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> A shame we can't blow her up a third time. *The Amazons stop and stare*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Lumi, let's try to avoid a diplomatic incident, shall wee? Mmmm-hmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> That was a joke, I apologize. We would like to meet with her.
<DeathStar> <Qui> A-hem. Of course.
<DeathStar> *she rises and motions for Gwen to stay there, leading everyone out to the water temple where the water priestesses are barely clothed now, probably due to the new Brooke's tastes. Undine relaxes in the water before them, looking overly relaxed*
<DeathStar> <Qui> You have guests, esteemed Undine.
<Seraphna> **Alita warps in to join them having gotten a heads up**
<DeathStar> *Undine floats closer* Welcome~. I thank you for helping bring me back together. *She nods her thanks to everyone8
<Seraphna> **Alita smiles having switched to a much showier outfit to visit with Undine**
<DeathStar> *Undine nods her approval to Alita*
<DeathStar> *While Lumi stares a bit*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Thank you for having us. We wished to check in on you and see how you were doing. <Undine> I am doing quite well
<DeathStar> <Lumi> And how is your relations with the other Spirits? <Undine> *makes a face* I see it as the same. I am fine here, in my temple, right now though. *Something in her tone though belies a lie of sorts*
<DeathStar> *Lumi motions at Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks hesitant but calls Salamander to her**
<DeathStar> *Salamander appears in the temple, having been relaxing, when the two spirits lock on with each other* <Salamander> What kind of attack is this?! *she eyes the water everywhere, clearly at a disadvantage while Undine rears back* <Undine> You dare bring her into my sacred grounds!? *she begins to gather her water together as both spirits begin to go on the offensive immeditely*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> O-Okay get her out
<Seraphna> **Jaime dismisses her and Alita hugs Undine from behind**
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...and this was a good idea, why?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Normally they would never react that way. *As Undine seethes
<DeathStar> <Undine> Out out
<DeathStar> *Qui stares at them and guides everyone out but Alita*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Yeah... that's a serious change."
<Seraphna> Jaime> That was definitely different.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I just needed to know it wasn't just Sylph
<Seraphna> Jaime> We’ve had multiple spirits in one temple before and they were nothing but friendly…
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Seeing the other two, we can safely assume it's all of them but Shade.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> She's been diplomatic around the others
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We should consult with the summoni before anyone else has any more bright ideas."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Right. For the time being, standing order - do not let anyone summon the original spirits, especially two at once
<DeathStar> <Lumi> That could be a disaster
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *joins them* Could we really stop that from happening?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Shouldn’t Aska be fine too?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We should do both."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Aska and Shade seem fine. Housing in the same building."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> If someone calls upon Sylph and another Salamander in the same location, that could end bad
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Also, Aska never had her core removed, she was healing from her damage when the others died
<Seraphna> Jaime> And Void, Celsius, and what’s his face, antisocial lightning boi.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Same with Void and Celsius I think
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Maybe that's what sets them apart. Void and Aska are tied to Shade
<DeathStar> *Lumi bows to Qui as they head back to the Academy*
<DeathStar> -TBC next week, minis are open-
* DeathStar changes topic to 'Geyze: Record of Spirit War | Wednesdays | 7:15 - 7:30 PM to 10:15 pm to 10:30 PM | Session 5: Adventures in Summoni - September 21st'
<DeathStar> *Lumi sets up an appointment with Kalam after returning, as well as trying to order people not to call on the Spirits for the time beingg*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> ... lets hope they list. Last thing we need is for two spirits to start fighting and causing damage
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> *Lumi eyes her ring*
Session Close: Thu Sep 15 00:00:00 2022
