<DeathStar> Location: Kumen City
<DeathStar> *the past few days, Ymir has slowly been seeing to taking at the metaphorical fires, seeing to giving the bar back to Asarar's group; which afterward Selena, Sylph, and Nicolette have returned back to Geyze ahead of time to make sure everything is okay there. Afterward she's turned off the barrier and everything so far seems okay, with no word from Maxwell. As trading begins to pick back up, Ymir plays with with some paper in her office and Asarar leans on the wall*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I would have thought something would have happened by now
<DeathStar> *Bonnie sticks close to Chelsea after what happened to her, a hand on Cloé and Cherie*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Maybe it has, and he's being subtle."
<Sara> * Cherie is keeping Cloé comforted
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Overt plays in a weakened position is an unsound strategy."
<DeathStar> *Cloé makes a noise*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Maybe. But there is a real threat on Geyze.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> You can't all stay up here forever.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I imagine the majority of us will unless the Queen calls for us
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Most of us are Kumen-based. Geyze has their own Peacekeepers."
<DeathStar> *Seniga is peering down at her datapad, looking lost in thought*
<DeathStar> *Chelsea's comm beeps*
<Sara> * Chelsea looks
<DeathStar> *it looks like Cypher is contacting, with urent*
<DeathStar> *urgent*
<DeathStar> <Ylva> Someone sending you lewd texts?
<Sara> * Chelsea gets up, answering the call
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Sorry to interrupt the meeting but you might want to drag Asarar and the others down here to the bar - pronto. Something is happening
<DeathStar> *She sends a video of a hazy like fog setting in*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "It must be him!"
<DeathStar> <Cypher> That or avoid the place
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I-It could be bad weather. Like the aurora borealis
<Seraphna> Luci> we never get a break Huh?
<DeathStar> *Cloé nods, as if getting Akatsuki to agree*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Aurora Borealis? On Kumen? At this time of year? Localised entirely in the bar?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Can I see it?"
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...stop. We need to move now." *heads to the elevator*
<MobileAri> <Ida> ". . ."
<Seraphna> **Luci tilts her head** Move as in go there or get outta here?
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Do you all need back up?
<DeathStar> *Asarar makes sure to tap the feed from Chelsea to theo thers; the hazy feed of the fog does seem to have some shimmering lights in there*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I already am the back up."
<DeathStar> <Ylva> Ooo. Talking big
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "That's Jikuu for you!"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Okay lets get down to the slums.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *nods* "Right."
<Sara> <Chelsea> We shouldn't wait
<DeathStar> *Cloé creeps along slowly, with Bonnie keeping an eye on them*
<DeathStar> *Asarar leads them to the van and gets in*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *climbs in* "Need me to drive again?"
<DeathStar> *Bonnie, tugging on her suit collar, hops into the back. Cloé crawls somewhere beside Cherie* <Cloé> I have a bad feeling. <Seniga> Oh it'll be fine. ... I'll remain in the van when we get there
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Sure, I'll let you drive us
<DeathStar> *Asarar takes the seat beside her*
<MobileAri> * Ida sits in the back, like a lurker
<Jackieness> <Bella> *swinga into the driver seat and starts them going*
<DeathStar> *As they drive along, the fog seems to have been working it's way up to the upper levels, leading them to drive through it on their way down*
<DeathStar> *Thankfully though the checkpoints have been taken out of their way, leading to a quicker drive down*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If it is what I think it is, we will have to deal with this in order to help Geyze anyway."
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> And what do you believe this is? *She asks Jikuu, before leaning in to whisper something in Chelsea's ear*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Spirit Realm fog?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Kira is correct."
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "As a bonus, once we're done, we can head back to Geyze that way."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "How?"
<DeathStar> *Bonnie muses and leans out the window of the van*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And what is she doing?
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Isn't the spirit realm connected?"
<Sara> * Chelsea tilts her head
<Jackieness> <Kira> "How si the Spirit Realm connected to *our* nightclub?"
<DeathStar> *Bonnie removes a glove from her hand and sticks her hand up, allowing her hand to glow, clearly drawing on her abilities*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Now that bit, I cannot answer."
<DeathStar> *After a bit she puts it back on and slides back in* This is not the spirit realm. It's tainted with eldrich energies though
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Maybe the net?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Of course it is..." *sighs loudly, obviously sick of eldritch things already*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "They unsealed the warped room, maybe."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Is this stuff safe to be driving through?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *She eyes outside* Good question
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Do we see any civilians being transformed?
<MobileAri> * Ida attempts to trace the source of the 'fog', suspecting the teleporter may be suspect
<Jackieness> <Bella> "I don't see any civilians out there, much less ones being transformed."
<DeathStar> *Bonnie quietly traces her hand over her face as Ida indeed locates the source - their bar. As they arrive at the slums*
<DeathStar> *where it's even heavier and the beautiful lights are all over the place*
<DeathStar> *but what is also weird, as they drive, buildings seem to be changing. Kira would spot buildings long since destroyed back*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...I know this palce... it was leveled years ago for the renewal."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Oh no. Not this again."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> New theory?
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I don't think they're trying to merge the two universes this time, Jikuu."
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Volume of fog increasing relative to distance to destination."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I think the fog is speeding up too. *She eyes her datapad* I think something ish appening to Kumen. We need to get into the bar and stop it
<DeathStar> *As they park at the bar, the entire bar is covered in fog*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...well...here we are."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Okay, unless we want to drive through the entrance, we'll have to ge inside
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Be ready for anything."
<DeathStar> *Asarar steps out into the fog*
* Pache has joined #TAW-Geyze
<DeathStar> *Bonnie moves out; the air feels hard to breathe and it almost makes one lightheaded, like it's trying to pass you out*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And stick together!"
<Jackieness> <Bella> *steps out of the van and heads for the front door*
<Pache> <Jikuu> "Of course."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *nods and moves to the door. Asarar opens it and inside it's all foggy with no sign of Cypher*
* Alicia has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 189 seconds)
* Pache is now known as Alicia
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ida, can you pinpoint the exact location of this fog?
<DeathStar> *Bonnie keeps her arm over his mouth to try to not pass out while Cloé looks wobbily*
<DeathStar> *Asarar turns to Kira
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ideas?
<Sara> * Chelsea peers around; Cherie stays in the van, unsure about all this
<DeathStar> *outside in the streets, Cherie would swear she would see people laying in the streets unconsious*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Two main possibilities...teleporter and the sealed room. Teleporter is closer, so we should hit it first."
<DeathStar> *in addition to the transformation of the city*
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Analyzing density and flow..."
<DeathStar> *it indeed looks like this is flowing from the teleport - and into the teleporter*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "What's in the sealed room?"
<DeathStar> *Bonnie heads there slowly, and as she opens the teleporter room, it's turned on with this stuff gushing out of it, yet somehow into it*
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Eddies forming around teleporter. Possibly from a separate location, to a second location.."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> How is that possible?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We need to shut it down."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Teleporting is a well known phenomenon. I do not think that teleporter is the source." *moves to shut down the teleporter*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "I bet MAxwell's men did something to it when they were here."
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Exceeds specification of the unit. Theory: Distorted event horizon creating dimensional lens effect."
<DeathStar> *As Jikuu goes to shut it down, it somehow refuses to power down*
<DeathStar> *As if something is keeping it going*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> W-What do we do?
<DeathStar> *she begins to look wobbily*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Jikuu, do the readouts tell us where the other end is?"
<Alicia> * Akatsuki moves to disconnect the power, while Jikuu checks
<DeathStar> *it seems to be pumping the other end into Geyze*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Geyze..."
<DeathStar> *As Akatuki disconnects the power, the teleporter flickers, then keeps going*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That is impossible
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Where's the extra power source?"
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarara, Blla, cna you jump into the Net and see if there is a connection there?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I can see, but there should be none
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Altering stablization field may shift destinations and interupt power flow."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Work with IDa on that while I'm gone. *She activates the Net and vanishes*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We need to rule out possibilities."
<DeathStar> *but as she jumps, her net jump seems to look strange and her jump booms*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Asarar!?
<DeathStar> *Bonnie covers her ears*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What the hell?!" *tries to get a ping on Asarar*
<DeathStar> *There is none*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Her signal's lost...
<Sara> * Her ears droop
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...I...I could jump after her..."
<DeathStar> *Cloé looks around at the bar, then outside* Everything is still looking more and more different.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "You're going no where, young lady, until we figure out what is happening."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I'm trying to run the numbers. *She eyes her watch* I've noticed my watch has stopped since coming here
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...though I think I have an idea now. Maxwell Terran was denied ruling the present, so he is resurrecting the past."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I will deny him ruling the past either."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> That might make sense. *she pulls out her datapad, bringing up something* We're no longer connected to the Holonet. Just our local Kumen Net.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> It's like we're cut off from the world.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie puts her hand on Chelsea's shoulder*
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Confirmed. Local temporal signature regressing."
<DeathStar> *Seniga muses at that* Okay, so we're locally going back in time?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Mom must have jumped to the present day Net."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "That's why it was so dramatic."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Not necessarily. We've likely been going back for a bit. She probaby jumped into the Net while it's still regressing and now we're further back
<DeathStar> <Seniga> We're just not aligned
<Jackieness> <Bella> "So what do we do?!"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> First we got to stop gate
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Then see how it all comes out
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I'll destroy it. Stand back
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Jikuu, can you try to reset the teleporter since pwoering it down doesn't seem to work?"
<Alicia> * Jikuu works on that, with Akatsuki's help. Or maybe the other way around.
<Sara> * Chelsea gets back
<DeathStar> *Bonnie goes into purple hair form, focusing her energy while the reset seems to do little for the moment.* <Bonnie> Step back you two. Unless you have an eee, em, pee
<Alicia> * The two stand back
<DeathStar> *Cloé mumbles that this will end bad and hides*
<MobileAri> * Ida stands back
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...everyone get to cover!" *moves out of the room along with bella*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie then punches the side of the teleporter with all her might, leading to the teleporter to get cracked and then overcharge and blow, taking out the teleporter room*
<DeathStar> *Seniga hides behind the counter*
<DeathStar> *Cherie would get to see fireworks from the van*
<Alicia> * Akatsuki steps out of shadows with Jikuu once the explosion's over
<DeathStar> *Cloé peers as the fog slowly dies down*
<DeathStar> *eyeing the ruins of the room*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...well...that's going to be expensive to fix."
<Sara> <Chelsea> As expensive as fixing a temporal anomaly, though?
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *Trots over to the room and sits while Seniga muses, scratching her head* Alright we need to find Asarar and find out what state Kumen is after this
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If we can fix the current problem, I will ensure that the teleporter repair is funded."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> And where Cypher is - Did she get deaged or something. Ugh, next time we see Maxwell we shoot him.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We'll bill MAxwell Terran."
<Jackieness> <Bella> *tries to ping Asarar*
<DeathStar> *the signal seems distorted, but at least there's something this time*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I mean, it sounds like he won't be needing his money any more."
<DeathStar> *The ruined teleporter room shifts suddenly, some of the wreckage lifting up*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Aaaahhh!?
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Anomaly intensifying."
<DeathStar> *Bonnie emerges*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...got her...sort of."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You were inside? Brave of you."
<DeathStar> *Bonnie drops the wreckage with her good arm, letting the other hang limply, her form faded a bit as her suit seems to have taken the brunt of it outside some visible wounds that are healing slowly and yanking out a piece of the teleporter* It happens when you punch it directly
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...why."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Assist Bonnie. I'm going to check the situation outside." *heads back to the front door*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *nods to Bella and works on isolating Asarar*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie just raids the bar for alcohol for the wounds and the pain*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Mao. *Goes to get Cherie*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze (a few hours back)
<DeathStar> *Selena is at the Academy, listening to reports on the Croza*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well, we been tracking it and trying to find where it went after the Peacekeeper attack. Thankfully thanks to all our allies across the Kingdom we think we might know where it is
<MobileAri> * Nicolette rolls a coin between her fingers as she listens to the report. "So what's the current theory?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... that armor it stole should be easy to track once we get close enough."
<Seraphna> Talia> Space Lobsters.
<DeathStar> *Lumi folds her papers and points at the map* After trying to wipe out the Peacekeepers, we've had to rely on others and according to them, we've had sighting of near the Amazon capital. Qui is there ready to help
<DeathStar> <Lumi> She'll have some Amazons on standby to assist.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "For some reason, I'm hungry."
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans back, present since the Aquarius has been grounded since all this* Do you need us there? Or should we stay out of this?
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia proposes we bring butter and little hammers.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Erica in an Amazon outfit would be amazing
<Sara> <Erica> That's nothing you've never seen before
<Seraphna> Cookie> I second Pepper in an Amazon Outfit.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... do we still have any maps of the Croza era Geyze?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> I suppose it couldn't hurt. As for maps, I know my mother has them and I need to get in touch with her and my sister still as is
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If you need my help, I am available."
<DeathStar> (Jikuu would be on kumen)
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I wonder if we could figure out what itss looking for if we knew what was there in its original time."
<Alicia> (Wait, isn't the Aquarius on Geyze ATM?)
<Alicia> * Jikuu does not say that then, being not there, and not available anyway
<Alicia> * Ceilidh tries to determine this, though it's very difficult
<Seraphna> **Threna sits back and muses**
<Seraphna> **Amber peers over the map, hood up at the moment**
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'll go travel there and retrieve the maps while the rest of you go to the Amazon
<DeathStar> *Sylph refuses to leave her tree house, having been traumtized the past few days*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Send scans of the maps my way when you get them."
<DeathStar> *Origin chirps, looking cheerful as ever*
<Seraphna> **Terra stuffs Sylph with fruit**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Alright, lets go to the carriages then
<DeathStar> *Gwen heads on over and Yuki drags Erica off, then returns with her in an Amazon outfit*
<DeathStar> *Wearing her own*
<DeathStar> *Selena nods and heads for Castle Hapian*
<Seraphna> **Cookie goes to do the same, but never returns, presumably distracted by Pepper**
<Sara> <Erica> Why do I let you do this *she says dryly*
<Seraphna> **Talia and Amber get in the cart**
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans against* You love me~
<DeathStar> *Gwen is trying not to glance at anyone, chanting some matra*
<DeathStar> *mantra
<Jackieness> <Lana> *stares at Yuki and erica*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Hmm, maybe I should get some lighter weight business wear..."
<DeathStar> *Gwen chants faster when Nicolette says that*
<Seraphna> Talia> Should I get my Amazon clothes on Gwen?
<DeathStar> *Gwen has the carriage take off*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Aah! Whoa!
<Alicia> * Ceilidh is not in amazon garb, but goes anyway.
<Seraphna> Talia> Ambersis I brought you a set too.
<Seraphna> Amber> Buhhh...
<DeathStar> *As they travel along toward the Amazon Kingdom, at first it's a normal flight, but soon down below a fog seems to set in*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh come on, we just fixed the spirit fog!"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> This is unusual weather for this time of year
<DeathStar> *Origin peers down and begins to make practically growling sounds*
<Seraphna> Amber> We're not in the spirit realm so what is that...?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh...?" *weaves ehr console and then sends out a sensory spell*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh casts an analysis spell
<DeathStar> *The fog seems to be a type of reversal spell with eldrich energy to it*
<DeathStar> *As they land near the capital, Amazons are laying on the ground and buildings seem to be different, or gone, back to places years back*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> This fog might not be good to breathe in. We should probably take back off.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> But Qui....
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... ugh. Anyway, this is some sort of reversal spell? ... TIME TRAVEL?! That's way too powerful!"
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "This is serious... how did they get this much power?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...this is bad. Eldritch incantation of some sort. Reversing time's arrow."
<DeathStar> *Gwen runs off to find Qui*
<Seraphna> Talia> Gwen!
<Sara> <Erica> Well, there goes the himbo.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'd love to know who has the power to cast such a spell. The Magi?
<DeathStar> *Gwen fades into the fog*
<Seraphna> **Amber grumbles and taps her staff on the ground, trying to part the mist for him**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Can't believe Sparkling learnt something from him..."
<DeathStar> *their carriage right begins to look like it's deaging, probably due to the fact it's a newer model*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Uh guys...
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I said it was eldritch!"
<Seraphna> **Talia looks at the fog in sheer terror, of course considering she's a familiar she doesn't have as much time to lose as most.
<Seraphna> Amber> We either get in or accept our fate, pick now.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Okay narrow it down, who cast it besides "it"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I think we should move, unless this is an old carriage."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'd say their 'Sin'. So the Croza is my guess. Maybe it wants to turn the clock back to its original time period."
<DeathStar> *Yuki hurries and begins to get the carriage up in the air* Come on
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We're going
<Seraphna> **Amber and Talia get on**
<Seraphna> **Talia mewls at the mist where Gwen went**
<DeathStar> *a figure begins to appear in the mist, returning as Yuki lifts off*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *starts her weaving, trying to build a barrier against eldiritch energy around thw carriage*
<DeathStar> *Gwen can be seen shouldering Qui*
<DeathStar> *heading toward where it was parted*
<Seraphna> **Amber casts a spell, sending hinm and her up iafter them in a wind gust**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Wha?!
<Seraphna> Amber> Talia, catch the inlaws.
<DeathStar> *Gwen flails*
<Seraphna> **Talia squeaks and leans out to grab at Gwen as he passes the carriage**
<DeathStar> *Gwen lands in after being caught*
<DeathStar> *Yuki takes them high enough above the fog* <Yuki> So what now
<Seraphna> **Talia then baps him multiple times**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Ow ow ow. *Qui seems unconscious*
<Seraphna> **Amber checks over Qui**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I found her laying there like the others
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...Ceilidh, cna you look at her? I'm maintaining the barrier."
<DeathStar> *the carriage crackles and Lumi's voice can be heard*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> You all need to get back. Quickly
<Alicia> * Ceilidh does so, using her medical knowledge and magical knowledge
<Seraphna> Amber> At least it didn't seem to reverse her age or something. Maybe it's just changing their minds, maybe to accept Croza rule?
<MobileAri> * Nicolette attempts to use wind magic to hurry the carriage while it's still in one piece
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That would be terrible. *As the carriage zooms along*
<DeathStar> *Yuki examines Erica*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> No signs of Croza loyalities yet
<Sara> * Erica makes a face
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... the question is... which side was this Croza on? Its easy to call it one of the renegades... but what if it was on our side back then and its on a mad quest to avert the war."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "At least it's just sleep."
<DeathStar> *as they arrive at the Academy, it's overrun with Fog; students can be seen laying around as Sylph is working hard to push it back. Shin is trying to get them to higher ground and even Vyvy and Ben are doing all they can do help*
<DeathStar> *Gnome is forming earth barriers to try to redirect the fog*
<Sara> <Erica> Not much different here, huh...
<DeathStar> *portions of the academy has been transformed to the old days*
<DeathStar> *Yuki moves in to land when Gnome suddenly seems to fall face first into the fog*
<Seraphna> **Terra squeaks and tries to pull her back with Earth**
<Seraphna> Terra> Momma!
<DeathStar> *Gnome is pulled along, looking like she's asleep*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...we need to find the source of the fog to stop it!"
<Seraphna> **Terra huffs and forms more earth walls to kep the mist back, and creates a large platform that rises to keep other above the fog**
<DeathStar> *Sylph seems to grow tired with her wounds and poofs into pixie form, dropping*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh attempts to track the source
<DeathStar> <Shin> Can I kill the fog?
<DeathStar> *Yuki landso n one of Terra's platforms*
<DeathStar> *it seems to be coming from Luci's bar*
<DeathStar> *But somehow it's spread all over Geyze in a matter of hours*
<Seraphna> Threna> The teleporter.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> How is that possible. I'm getting reports all over the place
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "You have permission to kill the fog if you can figure out how!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's spreading from its source."
<Seraphna> Threna> The Fog isn't really fog. It merely needed to cross space.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Alright, anyone have any plans?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah, do we have a teleporter network?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...we need to get down and shut down the teleporter."
<DeathStar> *Shin works on stabbng the fog*
<DeathStar> *Yuki eyes the bar area* It's completely flodded in fog. We wouldn't last more than a few minutes
<DeathStar> *flooded
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well, its not slowing down either..."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Can we shut down the teleporters here?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> As for a teleport network, we do. But I don't think it's on the same as the one to Kumen
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Wait
<DeathStar> <Lumi> *She eyes the Suisen teleporters*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Is it using them to spread>?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<Seraphna> **Threna nods to Lumi and muses** One moment. **she takes out her datapad, using her codes to issue an emergency shutdown on Geyze**
<DeathStar> *there's a noise, as if they don't want to shut down*
<Seraphna> Threna> ...We'll need to do it the other way.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What is the other way?"
<Seraphna> Threna> Destroy them.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That's a lot of teleporters
<Seraphna> Threna> If we create feedback on these while they are on they will destroy the ones they are currently transmitting to.
<Seraphna> **Threna checks to see where they are going**
<DeathStar> *it looks like they are simply on here, and have been turned on in other places, allowin the spread of the fog faster*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I wonder how they hijacked the teleporter network."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Erica
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The Aquarius is down there - is it okay?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "They were pretty interested in the teleporter on Kumen... Never expected something like this though."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "If we can reverse the spell, then everything shoudl go back to normal."
<Seraphna> Threna> Comm Mire and tell her to get above the fog.
<Seraphna> Threna> It seems we can't cause feedback or we might kill the empire's network.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... are the Suisen seeing anythign weird on their end?"
<Seraphna> Threna> ...But just the ones on Geyze.
<Seraphna> Threna> Seems it's already isolated.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Strangely, you'd think they'd notice but nothing
<DeathStar> *She eyes her datapad* Also time has stopped according to the datapad
<Seraphna> Threna> We need to reverse this or destroy them quickly then before it starts going the other way.
<DeathStar> *Yuki tries to get in touch with Mireille* Mire? I'm not getting anything
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The Aquarius may be in another time slice already."
<Seraphna> Amber> Time must have reached a stasis in the fog then.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I guess we have to make a c---*suddenly there's a flux coming from the gate in the fog, as if something happened, but fog continues to pour out*
<DeathStar> *sputtering*
<Seraphna> Threna> I believe that is the Kumen teleporter being shut down.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I don't see it shutting down here
<Seraphna> Threna> I think the fog itself is in the network now.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "They must have been pointed to a third, itnermediate location."
<Seraphna> Threna> Pinpoint it.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Working on it." *is, infact, still trying to track the fog*
<DeathStar> *Ceilidh would find that the source seemed to be coming from Kumen*
<DeathStar> *but once that flux, it vanished*
<DeathStar> *but it stills continues to come*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "The source is gone, but..."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Urg, this doesn't make sense..."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So the source was Kumen but the source is gone
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Its an Eldritch-fueled spell. Of course its grown beyond the original source."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And what does that mean? It'll continue forever?
<DeathStar> *She kneels, eyeing the fog geting higher up their platform* I really can't accept tht
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Potnetially, unless we can unravel or seal the spell."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> But Ceilidh just said...
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "My guess it's it's coming from the teleporter in Kumen, in the past."
<DeathStar> <Shin> So I should kill the teleporter? The spell? The past? Kumen?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I would weave a seal into the teleporter network, and it might stop it."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "The spell. Or the fog."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Killing the teleporter won't work, it's already been 'alive'."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Alright what do we need to do
<Seraphna> Amber> Kill the spell you kill the fog, and right now since the teleporters are carrying the spell it should chain in both directions.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Unless you can kill the teleporter in the past."
<Seraphna> Amber> ...We might be able to.
<DeathStar> *Shin looks at Nicolette*
<Seraphna> Amber> I'd say that Avenir must have noticed that time is wonky here and is waiting outside it.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But we need to get in there somehow."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "That... could be tricky. And dangerous."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I'm not sure how I can help you all achieve what you want to do
<Seraphna> Threna> We may need to get offworld in order to be able to work on this wihtout being affected, we can do little from this platform.
<Seraphna> Terra> Worried about Forest and Leafy and Fae Fae.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...another option... find a powered down or disconnected teleporter that we can connect to the network logn enough to counterpell through it."
<Jackieness> counterspell
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I mean we can try to find a Suisen teleporter. If you think it'll affect this one
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Or better yet try to use one of the spirit teleporters
<Seraphna> **Threna grumbles** I had a few backups in Academy Storage but I'm not sure if the fog has gotten to them.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "If we can get it on the network."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I doubt it would be.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Question
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Before we go out and try to find a teleporter not being used and waste a few hours doing this
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If it's on the network, there's a good chance the fog has gotten to it."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> What do you think *nods at Ceilidh* is the point of this reverse time spell?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And who caused it
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "To bring back something, or remove something, and... I couldn't say."
<DeathStar> *she looks down at the Academy* <Gwen> Right now things remind me of when I was a student. We've lost a ton of tech
<DeathStar> *he
<Seraphna> Amber> I would say it's the Sin that came here. Possibly working with the Sin on Kumen?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "They better not be trying to reverse our victory... we worked hard at that!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It wouldn't work, it's too localised."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "And yes, two planets is too localised."
<Seraphna> Amber> It seems to be soley affecting this world, maybe Kumen.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I wonder if they realize its not even in the same universe anymore..."
<DeathStar> *Ceilidh and Lana get a message*
<Seraphna> Amber> I'm one of the only people I theorize can't really be regressed easily... seeing as I was born in the Croza Era.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh looks
<DeathStar> *it seemstto from Rain, encouraging them to go to Sasha's pyramid*
<DeathStar> *that is right now covered up to the top almost in fog*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm just wondering if it is the Croza
<Jackieness> <Lana> "To the admin pyramid!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Okay, lets go to Sasha's pyramid, I guess."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> This time fog will continue all the way 12,000 years
<Seraphna> Amber> I'm pretty sure that Croza is the Sin.
<DeathStar> *Lumi eyes all the dog between them and the pryamid*
<DeathStar> <Shin> I'll cut you a path
<DeathStar> *She uses her scythe and begins to cut them a path*
<Seraphna> Threna> I could teleport us into her office.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Go for it
<Seraphna> Threna> **She nods and attempts to teleport the group to Sasha's office**
<DeathStar> *she succeeds, but also feels like the fog made it 10x harder*
<DeathStar> *Rain peers at the group*
<Seraphna> Threna> Ugh... I must nap now.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Napping would be bad right now..."
<Seraphna> Threna> I think I just learned how to teleport in time.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "No sleep."
<DeathStar> *Yuki kicks Threna onto Erica* Here, paddle her
<Seraphna> Threna> Mewwwllll
<DeathStar> <Rain> We have a teleporter in here if you want to use it
<Sara> <Erica> ...Fine, whatever, I will
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *comes back into the office from the balcony* "As much as I miss my student days, I want to make sure my present day students are saved from... this."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Show us."
<DeathStar> *Rain shows them a teleporter*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ceilidh, let's get to work."
<DeathStar> *outside things begin to light up more, with more special beautiful lights*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I think whatever is about to happen is finishing up
<Alicia> * Ceilidh starts to go over the teleporters systems
<DeathStar> *The fog now is completely covering the pyramid*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Then we need to move fast." *starts working on prepping the teleporter*
<DeathStar> >Yuki> I believe it's out to finish the last of us and make us sleep
<DeathStar> *Gwen props up Qui*
<DeathStar> *The teleporter works with them easily*
<DeathStar> *As fog creeps into the room*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Yeah, eternal sleep. Rather not."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I think we're about ready."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Okay, now how do we access the network without..." *works to reverse the fog*
<DeathStar> *seeking out Erica and Nicolette*
<Seraphna> **Amber uses Wind Magic to push back at it**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> *Swings a frying pan at it*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Show us your magic
<MobileAri> * Nicolette conjures a gust to force the fog back down the hall
<DeathStar> *the fog is pushed back*
<DeathStar> <Shin> *Tries to stab it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ceilidh, trigger the teleporter." *weaves the counterspell*
<DeathStar> *The fog slowly begins to return back in more places*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh activates the teleporter!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> No fair... *As it powers up*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *sends the coutnerspell through the teleporter network*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen City
<DeathStar> *Cloé merowls beside Cherie as she Seniga pulls Cypher down the stairs, finding her asleep*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Got her. Also I'm pretty sure I got Asarar in the Net. We can pull her out
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Give me a position and 80% sure I cna get mom back."
<DeathStar> *Bonnie seems to be hanging back quietly with a drink in her hand, her wounds mostly healed up, outside her faded look*
<DeathStar> *Seniga sends it to Bella*
<DeathStar> *outside in the streets, it looks more busy than usual*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So, what is going on?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I'm not sure. *a few people walk in and eye them all* <Man> Where's the dancers?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "OK... wish me luck..." *tries doing a fast-jump in to pull Asarar out*
<DeathStar> *he eyes Jikuu and Akatsuki* You're not dancers
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "No, we're not. Why?"
<DeathStar> <Man> *He sulks and leaves, mumbling about dancers*
<DeathStar> *Bella and Asarar a moment later appear, with Asarar jerking*
<DeathStar> *her body twitching as she tries to control it*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Mom, you ok?!"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I-I'll be f-fine
<DeathStar> *Asarar slowly lays there on the floor, getting her breathing under control* What.. is the sit-rep?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Fog is gone... " *looks at the others* "Anytthing else happen?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Man wanted dancers
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Jikuu turned him down
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Maybe I should've sung for him."
<Jackieness> <Kira> *comes back inside after scouting things outside*
<DeathStar> *suddenly as Kira steps in, a figure busts in with her and rushes over to Chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *pauses at that, drink held up to her lips*
<DeathStar> *Cypher sits up, groaning*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "... ... ...yeah...guys, we're udner the dome again."
<DeathStar> *Ylva peeks around Chelsea, adjusting her hat*
<MobileAri> <Ida> "Dome?"
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I feel like I've drank too much. *She eyes Jikuu, Akatsuki, Cloe, Cherie, and Ida* Who are they?
<DeathStar> *Asarar pauses, then eyes Kira* Repeat that?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *eyes Cypher* And you, repeat that?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I asked, who are the new faces.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "The dome is back, all the old corpo towers are where they were. ITs like the clock was dialed back 25 years."
<DeathStar> *Cloé looks flabbergasted*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Jikuu Zhenmei. It looks like I have travelled through time once more."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Well, this sucks..."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Hm. I'd love to look at Cypher's memory. She's clearly not deaged
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Akatsuki Mizukaze, don't worry if the name isn't familiar yet."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I think.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Either way, this is bad. I'm guessing the fog got most of the populace then
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Right. ... Dammit
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *outside Sasha's pyramid, the fog has begun to clear up*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What a relief."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "It appears to be working. The Academy is saved."
<DeathStar> *there's a sudden knocking on Sasha's door*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...and now I'm feeling sleepy after that..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Enter."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves back behind ehr desk*
<DeathStar> *Someone wearing Tamae clothing enters, then eyes Sasha* What is a student doing trying to pretend to be the Headmistress? I do not care how talented your Unit 6 may be, this is no laughing matter
<DeathStar> *Lumi pauses, then peers back and forth*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...excuse me?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's even less of a laughing matter than you think."
<DeathStar> *The Tamae offical eyes her* Excuse me. Where is the Headmistress.
<Seraphna> **Amber sighs a bit** It looks like the shift wasn't as far back as we worried, but this idiot can't see you're much older than you should be.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Clearly not." *stands up from ehr chair*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "...awkward."
<DeathStar> *He is waiting, tapping his documents behind his back*
<Seraphna> Terra> Excuse me mister.
<DeathStar> *then eyes Terra*
<Seraphna> Terra> You are being rude to friend. **she glows and shows her full spirit nature**
<DeathStar> <Tamae> And?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... I..." *sighs* "I don't even think they'd listen if I pulled rank."
<Seraphna> Autumn> That would be the Earth Spirit you're speaking to.
<Seraphna> **Amber
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "He only remembers Gnome."
<Seraphna> Autumn> **eyes Sasha, since Terra oculd pass as Gnome**
<DeathStar> <Tamae> .... *He looks at Autumn, then Terra* And why are you here, Gnome, backing up a disobiedent student
<DeathStar> <Tamae> Or are you a proxy doing it
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Look, lets just ignore this whole headmistress thing and deal with the current problem."
<Seraphna> **Terra quietly forms a stone chair behind the Tamae and tips him into it** I not a proxy.
<Seraphna> Terra> I am saying you need to listen to these people. Something wrong.
<DeathStar> *Yuki and Lumi try not to be seen while Gwen has hidden himself*
<DeathStar> <Tamae> I see. And what is that problem, Spirit Gnome?
<DeathStar> *it's clear he's making his voice controlled*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Eheh... sorry about this. It seems time has been a bit displaced due to a current crisis."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "As nostalgic as I am for my student days... this is ridiculous."
<Seraphna> Terra> Something caused disturbance here. A spell that they are trying to fix that can cause harm to everyone, even spirits.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Bear with it, Sasha."
<DeathStar> *The man nods, rising and adjusts his clothing* I see. Displaced time. Well. I'll be glad to speak with my fellow Tamae and assign the proper unit to it if something comes up.
<DeathStar> <Tamae> Especially if the Headmistress is missing
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *just lets out an annoyed sigh*
<Seraphna> Terra> She on spirit business. Everything should be set right if can fix.
<DeathStar> *he eeys Sasha, burning her image into his memory, as he steps out*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "So.... um, what year is this?"
<DeathStar> *He peers at her as he goes out*
<Seraphna> Amber> Seeing as he recognized Sasha as part of the Elite unit, it would be when my Mother was around 17 I think.
<DeathStar> <Man> 5990
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Was the headmistress missing, or has she just not been replaced?"
<DeathStar> *he and leaves*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "She was not on Geyze when this effect occurred, so she must not have been brought with us."
<Seraphna> Terra> **once he leaves** Miyuki wasn't actually part of this world so she might not have been restored.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> What's the situation outside?
<Seraphna> Amber> Why are Tamae members even here? Didn't most of them move on?
<MobileAri> *Nicolette whistles, "Old calendar. Of course."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We disbanded the Tamae system a while back."
<Seraphna> Amber> So people got shifted back here.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Evidently."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> He's probably going to be back
<DeathStar> <>Yuki> With guards
<DeathStar> >Yuki> For oyu
<DeathStar> *Rain a-hems*
<Seraphna> Amber> I guess I had better keep my hood up. THere aren't all that many Asmodeans and my resemblance to the Daemon Empress is going to cause problems.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Who don't recognize me for who I am." *looks aside* "...Rain?"
<DeathStar> <Rain> Lets just see if we can find our friends
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "They recognise you as the Sasha of that time."
<DeathStar> <Shin> ... If I stab people here, will it be okay?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm worried about the Aquarius and if it came all the way with us.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I'll put the pyramid on lockdown. We don't need them messing about with the restored Ancient machinery or the Suisen tech."
<Seraphna> Amber> Your craft is a spacecraft yes? Presumably airtight?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *to Shin* "No."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It should be.
<MobileAri> * Nicolette pauses. "Waaaaaaaait... you were a student in 5990? What year were you born?"
<Seraphna> Amber> If so those inside it should have remained unaffected...
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You're making us feel old Nico
<Seraphna> Amber> I can make your feel young.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yes, its an Ancient pyramid ship. That Lana girl knows how to pilot it."
<DeathStar> *Gwen goes to lift Qui up when she suddenly wakes*
<Seraphna> Amber> Since I was born... I guess they don't have a calendar date for it anymore.
<DeathStar> <Qui> ... *looks around, then jerks* <Qui> What's going on?
<Seraphna> Talia> Qui got hit with time travel mist.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *goes over to the control console to put the pyramid on lockdown* "That shoudl buy us some time."
<Seraphna> **Terra sighs and pats Gnome gently** Hope Mom didn't lose too much...
<MobileAri> * Nicolette snoops around to see if any of the old school records are here
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It'd be nice if Gnome was actually... oh, she forgot."
<DeathStar> *Nicolette would find the first Unit 6 showing Sasha, Gwen, etc together*
<Seraphna> Terra> I can fill her in.
<DeathStar> *As well as others*
<DeathStar> *Ellie, Liana
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh right, fill her in about me being the original Earth Hero. That'll work..."
<DeathStar> *Qui looks at them all* Why aren't we in class? *since she was 'part of the first class'*
<Seraphna> Terra> You my Earth Hero.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Come on lets get outside
<Seraphna> Amber> Oh boy.
<Seraphna> Talia> We have loooots to catch Qui Qui up on.
<MobileAri> * Nicolette sneaks a look at the records, then looks like she suddenly regrets it.
<DeathStar> *As they head outside, they group will find that the Academy is much more empty, due to the fact there are only 7 units right now and they constantly get sent on missions*
<DeathStar> *it's not the school school it is now*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...I had never seen it so empty. We were in the field often back then."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Ah... yeah..."
<DeathStar> *a man spots Sasha and hurries over*
<DeathStar> <Man> You... are Sasha Hapian, right? *He looks unsure*
<Seraphna> Amber> Less people to ask questions.
<DeathStar> *he looks like a courier*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I am..."
<DeathStar> *he hands her a sealed note* This is for you.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a brow as she takes the note* "...thank you."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I noticed something else. *as the courier moves off to his horses*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> No spirits
<DeathStar> <Gwen> No Sylph, No Gnome, nothing
<Seraphna> Terra> Gnome and Sylph with us, couldn't be shifted.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... how suspicious."
<Seraphna> Terra> Plus weren't they not really around here back then? Momma said back then not a lot of people respected Spirits as people.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *opens the notes to read*
<Seraphna> Terra> Momma preferred stay in Forest with Ents cuz they revered.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "I don't know much about Geyze now... I was back on Kumen at this point."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks around* "...my lab is gone! What am I to do?!"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We need to get to Hapian Castle immediately."
<Seraphna> Amber> Why?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *holds up the note* "Its from Selena* "She's been arrested ebcause Celes no logner recognizes her."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Wasn't she on Kumen?"
<DeathStar> Note: "Dear Aunt, I might be in trouble. Mother don't recogize me and caught me getting the map. But what's worse is grandmother. I'm in big trouble. And I don't even know where mother Liana is. Need help, noose is tightening. Have info on Croza - Selena"
<DeathStar> P.S I've protected Luna
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "She went to the castle for maps." She bites her lip, "Origin, can you bring us there?"
<DeathStar> *Origin makes an affirmative sound from the hat and the group begins to glow and they appear outside the castle, which looks like a much deadlier place*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Oh yeah, I remember now. Selena's grandmother was a real you know what
<Seraphna> Terra> I take us.
<Seraphna> Terra> Sister Threna still too drains to teleport. And no one expect Gnome summon herself.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm guessing we're going to have to raid the castle.
<DeathStar> <Qui> You do know Aska will kill intruders if we do
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I'm still the senior most princess of the realm."
<DeathStar> <Qui> And we're just students
<Seraphna> Terra> Actually... might be able to get Aska help.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well I hope your mojo is working well then.
<Seraphna> Terra> If people not born haven't changed, Soren must be there.
<Seraphna> Terra> Plus her secret room is Spirit Realm.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Whew. Okay. Lets get ready for this
<DeathStar> -TBC-
* DeathStar changes topic to 'Geyze: Record of Spirit War | Wednesdays | 7:15 - 7:30 PM to 10:15 pm to 10:30 PM | Part II - Act 1 | Session 35: The Hapian Era | 2 of 5 | '
<DeathStar> Alright minis are open. Next Wed, the crew will take on the ol leader of the Hapians
<DeathStar> A nice ol' lady
<DeathStar> Who put Celes through hell
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> ---
<DeathStar> *Gwen seems to be trying to gather information from the market*
<DeathStar> *while Yuki looks lost in thought*
<DeathStar> *also on Kumen, Asarar has Jikuu and Akatsuki learn how to sing and dance*
<Alicia> * Akatsuki already knows how to sing
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Can you do it for a rowdy bar that wants to grope your rear?
<DeathStar> *Cloé watches*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "... this sounds really demeaning."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I can look for other singers and dancers I guess
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Do you... know what the name Zhenmei means...?"
<MobileAri> <Ida> "This unit is unsuited to song and dance."
<DeathStar> <Cloé< Sexy beautiful woman?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You have not heard of the Suisen?" <Akatsuki> "They might be new? I don't know my history well enough."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Oh I thought what your last name meant. I heard of the Suisen. <Cypher> *listens to them like what?*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am one of them."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well back in the day before we got more open the bar here had strippers and stuff to make the depressed populace happier. And make money.
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I'm not stripping!"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Shame
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Is wearing nothing in that high demand?" <Akatsuki> "Jikuu, no!"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It's not so much wearing nothing; you could actually not take it all off - if you're good enough. It's the tease and the show
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll see if I can get Chelsea to do it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We also will need to look into re-establishing looking for Maxwell and connections that we lost
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Assuming Maxwell did this
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Akatsuki, you could sing for them. I am certain you can enchant the crowd without resorting to anything demeaning."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I can give you the stage. *she nods* If you can entice
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I think so..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You'll make tips and I'll pay you on the side too. Also be sure to listen to conversations for any hints we may get. People talk
<DeathStar> *Cloé maerols* I can do sneaky missions
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well there's been reports of someone who looks like Luci getting into fights and possibly acting like a bounty hunter down in quad 6
<MobileAri> <Ida> "This unit will not put on clothes if that will be of assistance."
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I think you'd have to... appear available too."
<DeathStar> *Asarar pauses at that comment*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We'll um, let you assist Cloe in following up the information, it'll probably be more up you wheelhouse
<DeathStar> *a noise hits the window like a pidgeon*
<DeathStar> *bap bap bap bap*
<Alicia> * Jikuu checks the window
<DeathStar> *It seems to be Nell, bapping against the window*
<DeathStar> *with a KOed Nox*
<Alicia> * Jikuu lets the pair in
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I located valuable clues. *she points*
<Seraphna> **Nell hops in and sets the shadow Fox down**
<DeathStar> *Bonnie sways, drunk and props her head up*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And are you okay?
<Seraphna> Nell> I hid and didn’t need to breathe but Nox here has been konked out the whole time. It’s like she’s on standby mode.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I can bite her
Session Close: Thu Jul 13 00:00:00 2023
<Seraphna> Nell> If it works. Though she might like that.
<DeathStar> *she proceeds to poke her*
<Seraphna> **Nox snoozes all dark vixeny**
<Alicia> * Akatsuki starts practicing, preparing to bring idol music to Kumen early
<DeathStar> *Cloé listens and waves* I like it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You might be the star singer
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I might."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she takes her measurements*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll see to getting the right dress for you
* MobileAri has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
* Alicia has quit IRC (Quit: BBL)
<Seraphna> Nell> So wait, are we back to when Mom did lounge singing and beating up people that skipped bail?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If we find her
Session Close: Thu Jul 13 20:03:51 2023
