<DeathStar> Date: 10-655.10.8
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> *at this point in time, the Aquarius has left the territory the Erusians typically patroled during their charting and finding pathways for the Intergalactic Highway, leaving a long journey still ahead. Yuki muses on the ship*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I wonder if there's anything we can put in to make this trip more...fun. *Ben quietly grunts as they gather information from the nearby star systems*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps survey the crew to learn their talents."
<DeathStar> *Cloé sits at the cafe, ordering a ton of food*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> We'll be having a problem soon in a few months, Mothers - Everyone
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Do you really need that much?"
<DeathStar> *Cloé thinks, then nods* Very hungry lately
<Jackieness> <Airym> "As I recall, the PAX had a virtual environment system available."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> True. Mother did upgrade the Aquarius with some Progenitor tech
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I should see how extensive it is. *She turns to Mireille*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So what is the problem?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Typically by using the Tiger Engine, we simply skip straight into the Templar Galaxy, but by traveling under hyperspace power, we will be having to travel between galaxies. Soon we will stop encountering any star systems in our galaxy and have to travel the expanse between the two galaxies.
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Geyze
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Unless we happen to encounter life out there, I imagine it will cause some strain on some of the crew
<Jackieness> <Airym> "My records indicate that the PAX did travel outside the galactic plane at one point. Mental issues developed among some of the crew and civilian population."
<DeathStar> *Yuki whistles in thought* Will we still have to chart it and see what's the best places for people to come after us
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I just hope the suisen have something in mind
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We may even have to consider rotating part of the crew into and out of stasis if it becomes too much of a burden."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hm. I'll have to definitely look into that entertainment now
<DeathStar> *Ben turns from the console* The only thing on the planet seems to be a world of giant fluffy birds
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Catalog it and prepare to move on."
<Sara> <Erica> Heh, yeah, when have giant fluffy birds ever been an issue...
<DeathStar> <Ben> They could be.... angry
<DeathStar> *he pauses after saying his joke*
<Sara> <Erica> I take it you'd be angry if you were giant and fluffy. *she smirks*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The earth avian 'cassowary' is both fluffy and highly aggressive."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Wait seriously?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> What is a ....cassandray?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes." *displays information on the cassowary on a screen*
<Seraphna> Nox> Birds are food, I believe.
<DeathStar> *Cloé shares some of her food with Bella*
<Sara> <Erica> Uh, only a few.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *eats some*
<DeathStar> *Yuki sits on her chair, going over the Aquarius secondary featureS*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> While we're at it
<DeathStar> <Yuki> What should we do for the holidays - a ship wide thing?
<Sara> <Erica> I guess so, we may as well
<Seraphna> Nox> You’ll be celebrating Daemon Night of course?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... pardon me?
<Seraphna> Nox> It’s the holiday in the Daemon Realm when the Dark Spirit is worshipped.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Given that the crew is composed of individuals from several worlds, each with their own holiday calendars, you should assemble a ship holiday calendar."
<Seraphna> **Nox fluffs up**
<Seraphna> Cookie> Didn’t know spirits had holidays too.
<Seraphna> Cookie> I guess Mire’s birthday is Mireille Day.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Typically Geyze has a day to revere all spiits
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yuki, cna you also see to the creation of the ship calendar as it will fall udner the purview of shipwide entertainment."
<Seraphna> Nox> Daemon Day came about from the period that the rest of Geyze avoided my precious Daemons.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'll see what I can do. I was going to do a Suisen thing and have one holiday to celebrate all of them, but I guess a diverse line up can keep their minds off things
<Seraphna> Cookie> 4/20 bayyyybeeeeee!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "That is my thinking exactly."
<DeathStar> *Yuki facepalms*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You are allowed to ignore cookie's suggestions."
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-655.12.23
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> *The Academy is covered in tons of snow as Gwen lays out in a pile and Fae and Sylph stand under the tree out at the Academy. The school for the most part is closed outside those who stick around for the holidays*
<Seraphna> **Talia puts a scarf around Gwen and a hat on him** I should get you one of those big doggies with the barrel collars.
<DeathStar> *Lumi sips some hot chocolate, while Cypher stands outside her place*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I don't like this time of year
<Jackieness> <Lana> *is sleepign at one of her lab tables, having worked three days straight*
<Seraphna> Talia> Husband is more of a Jungle boy.
<DeathStar> *Gwen warms his hands* You've noticed that things seem to have calmed back down?
<Seraphna> Talia> Well we made Malfoy go splat!
<DeathStar> *Gwen adjusts his alliance forces outfit* Just wondering. It might be a nice time to maybe step away from all this business for a bit. Go back and see my sister more. *he turns to Talia* You interested? Lana is too important here so I wouldn't want to bother her, plus she would hate it among the Amazons.
<Seraphna> Talia> Sounds fun! I barely get to try out my being a Royal.
<DeathStar> *Lumi watches Melodie crash something in the background*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *slips and crashes to the floor, waking her up* "Wahhhhhh!"
<DeathStar> *Cypher pretending not to see the aftermath of the large tree tipping over due to Melodie*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Our tree!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Ahhh!" *tries to catch the tree*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *climbs on to her feet, rubbing at her eyes before she slips her glasses back on*
<DeathStar> *Melodie flails and tries to help keeping it steady*
<Seraphna> **Terra gasps and appears by the tree** Poor little one!
<Seraphna> **Terra takes it with one hand and puts it back in place, growing it’s roots in deep**
<DeathStar> <Melodie> Sorry. Someone gave me a little push it felt like. <Lumi> Uh huh. You and Aimee are always getting into trouble
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Geyze
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Spirit Day is saved.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Or something
<Sara> <Ellie> Barely...
<Jackieness> <Lana> *leaves her lab, trudging through the snow, half-asleep*
<Seraphna> Terra> Be kind to trees. **she nods**
<DeathStar> *Gwen turns to Lana* Ah. Lana. It's rare to see you out.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Talia, hand her some food and water
<DeathStar> *Lumi pulls Melodie to the side to lecture her while Sylph wraps an arm around Ellie*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...need food... and sleep..." *starts to nom*
<Seraphna> **Talia feeds her** There there,, gotta feed my pillows.
<DeathStar> *by now, Soren, Tenebrae, Edna, Cloud, Avenir, Salamander, Brooke, Gnome, and Shin have shown up around the tree, mainly using it as a focal point to meet with the other spirits*
<DeathStar> *Avenir keeping to herself*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I'm not just a pair of booooo...zzzzzz...."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Have you been getting enough sleep?"
<DeathStar> *Selena steps up behind the others* We should send her back
<DeathStar> *people have slowly begun to show up to give their thanks directly to the spirits*
<Ariel> * Nicolette quietly wanders up and stands by Avenir, sipping on a mug of cider.
<DeathStar> *some to talk or ask favors*
<DeathStar> *Avenir peers at Nicolette and nods to her*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...zzzzz..." *has nodded off again*
<DeathStar> *Asarar stands by Cypher, Bonnie looking displeased with the cold*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Not joining in?"
<DeathStar> <Avenir> I'm practically a useless spirit these days. My powers are too dangerous.
<Seraphna> **Terra saves herself energy by making a Christmas looking tree with fruits for people to eat**
<DeathStar> *Bonnie hands Chelsea a gift while they're all together*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh....ahhh?" *wakes up again as she starts to slip*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm sorry to hear that."
<DeathStar> *Gwen lifts Lana up with one hand*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Yeah... they're kinda rough right now. But it doesn't mean you're not appreciated. You don't think your powers are the only thing that makes you special, do you?"
<DeathStar> *Avenir doesn't answer that, peering at the people who've come to see the spirits; many flocking to Terra or Brooke/Cloud, or Fae and Sylph*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhh... are the spirits here yet...?"
<DeathStar> *Melodie hangs on Sparkling's arm after being freed from Lumi*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> They're being swarmed with adoration right now
<DeathStar> *He turns her to face the crowd*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Yep!" *checks if Aimee's here too*
<DeathStar> *Aimee seems to be lurking near the tree, as if debating something evil toward it*
<Seraphna> **The Tree wiggles at Aimee**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... need to share my findings..."
<DeathStar> *Gwen carries her over to Soren*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It's not like the people you've already helped, aren't thankful toward you because you can't use those powers right now."
<DeathStar> <Avenir> That is true. Thank you, Miss Nicolette. *she bows*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh....hiiiii..."
<Ariel> * Nicolette hugs Avenir, "Just Nicolette. I'm not old yet."
<DeathStar> <Soren> Hello, Lana. Did you need a blessing, too?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Ah, Nico.. how are you holding up?"
<DeathStar> *Avenir reddens a little* Ah, r-right, Nicolette
<DeathStar> *Selena seems amused; while Sylph is busy pampering Ellie*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Hm? Me? I'm doing good."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... I have a report from my research!"
<DeathStar> <Soren> Oh? Well, feel free to tell me then. I'll pass it on to the others
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... I think we're running out of spirit energy."
<DeathStar> *Aimee backs off for now*
<DeathStar> *retreating to Luci's*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What? Why?!"
<DeathStar> <Soren> Hm; Geyze should have had a recharge some years ago, I thought
<Seraphna> **Luci has Familiar maids selling booze and special holiday dishes, including the elusive Deertard Roast**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I built a spirit meter to search for signs of the Super Spirits that attacked the proto-Croza... and the meter should be staying relatively constant, with a spike once the super spirits get close... but... its actually going down."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Something is draining it..."
<DeathStar> <Soren> Well, then we'll have to look into it after the holidays
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...still need to work on anti-super-spirit... defenses..." *starts to nod off*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Haaa.... it's always something. I'll put off my trip to Qui for now
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> *the ship has been traveling between galaxies for a few weeks now, holiday stuff up, however outside whenever they stop to make adjustments and chart stuff, it is pure darkness*
<DeathStar> <Ben> So far not not picking up any sign of life
<DeathStar> *Cloé hands Bella a present*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "For me?"
<DeathStar> *Cloé nods*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Dark Space, the final final frontier.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *opens the package*
<DeathStar> *it is a homemade red scarf*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *takes it out* "Did you make this?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> All we can do is press forward
<DeathStar> *Cloé nods*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...I didn't get you anything..."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I been entertaining myself in my room!
<DeathStar> <Cloé> It's okay~ - I don't mind
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Hm. I might be detecting something
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Doing what?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "On screen."
<DeathStar> *she goes to bring it up on screen - the sensors seem to be picking up what looks to be a ship some distance away from them still, straight ahead a few days away, but it's giving off no power*
<Seraphna> Nox> Ghost Shiiip!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Ugh, in this area of space don't joke
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Plot an intercept course. Raise shields when we draw near. Until we know what we are dealing with."
<DeathStar> -Time Hop-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-655.12.28
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> *the ship can now be seen much better on the sensors, floating and spinnng in dead space; however, the Aquarius' on power has begun to slowly deplete*
<DeathStar> <Ben> We're at 95% power
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It must be a trap or anomaly. Start backing us off."
<DeathStar> *Yuki ponders as Ben does so* <Ben> Our power is still slowly going down
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Now I hate that ghost comment even more
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Should we blow it up?
<DeathStar> *Mireille yawns and sits by her pod*
<DeathStar> *Cloé looks worried* Are we going to be stranded out here? Without a tow?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Get some scans of the ship while we can and see if you cna match it to known civilizations. If we start to drain faster, then permission to fire."
<Seraphna> Cookie> We must be near some anomaly that drains power.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "That is my thought, so I do not wish to destroy the ship if we can avoid it."
<DeathStar> *Ben scans and it comes up as some unknown alien ship, not appearing in their databases* New tech - or old tech. It doesn't match any civilization we have on file. I'll put my scan further and see if I can pick up any anamolies
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Proceed."
<DeathStar> *Yuki paces around*
<DeathStar> <Ben> There. *he zooms in on what appears to be nothing.* Mireille? *the dark area of space with no light is zoomed in again and again and again until a dark sphere can be seen*
<DeathStar> <Ben> I don't know what it is, but it is drawing power from us despite shields
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The ship was an unfortunate that was caught in the anomaly. Ben, can we go to minimum power use, fire maneuvering thrusters, and let m=intertia move us away?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I suppose we'll need to chart another path away from this thing
<DeathStar> *she brings out the map they're making*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes, we need to mark this sector off limits to traffic."
<DeathStar> *Ben nods and has them go do so* cookie?
<DeathStar> <Ben> Get ready to get around this
<DeathStar> *Ben lowers their power and sends them forward for Cookie to do her thing*
<Seraphna> **Cookie does her thing!**
<DeathStar> *as Cookie fires the thrusters and moves past it, the orb attempts to fire something at them and reel them back in*
<DeathStar> <Ben> Evasion needed
<Seraphna> **Cookie moves just before it does, in Spade mode**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "This appears to be more than just an anomaly."
<DeathStar> <Ben> We're now clear of it
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius continues onward and power slowly begins to return*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We can go over the data on the way forward - we'll have plenty of time after all
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We shall need to investigate further when we are better prepared. That last behavior implied some sort of intelligence."
<Seraphna> Nox> I wondered if Dark Matter might be out here… could be it.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> What will you do with dark matter?
<Seraphna> Nox> Avoid it! It’s also what you call… Anti-Matter?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Anti-matter and Dark matter are entirely different things."
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Oh. I thought you'd eat it
<DeathStar> *Yuki glances at Erica, then at Nox*
<DeathStar> -Time Hop-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-656.3.15
<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Castle
<DeathStar> *Selena folds her hands, the other spirits present, as they go over Lana's information* So this is what is causing the drain
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Jaime overflowed Geyze 18 years ago with spirit energy; while there is still large amount, I am shocked it's been depleted by this much
<DeathStar> *15 years ago at this point
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...and not going back up. That is the key data point."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Essentially, what is causing it is whenever the spirits tap into their powers for anything, a small amount goes down
<Seraphna> **Terra blinks** But why not going back up?
<DeathStar> <Selena> All I can think is the spirits are being asked to do too much and it is not having enough time to restore itself
<DeathStar> <Selena> If you have 12 spirits, which we have more than that now, doing 30 things a day minimum each..
<Seraphna> Terra> That not seem fair… shouldn’t worshipping give back?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...you're spirits, not faith-based divinities."
<DeathStar> <Selena> The spirits get stronger with faith
<DeathStar> <Selena> Yes.
<Seraphna> Terra> Ents have big faith!
<DeathStar> <Selena> But I am not sure how much it puts back into a spirit pool
<DeathStar> <Selena> Even if it say, did, you all might be doing too much still
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... maybe its not actual worship... more neediness."
<Seraphna> **Terra looks heartbroken** This means Terra cannot make as much fruit now…
<DeathStar> *Soren eyes Terra* Terra - how much fruit a day do you make?
<Seraphna> Terra> Ummm… lots?
<DeathStar> *Soren folds her hands*
<Seraphna> Terra> People and me and Fae Fae hungry.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So... how did Jaime fill Geyze up anyway, and can we do it again?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> She used essentially a massive magnus wishing device I believe.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You said it was overflowing... maybe Jaime did it too much and... Geyze... ahh... sprang a leak."
<DeathStar> <Selena> It was used up
<Seraphna> Jaime> A wish from some ancient challenge I completed. **she says appearing** A pity… it was enough to make me into a spirit if I had wanted.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I guess we have to do it again..."
<DeathStar> <Soren> I think we just need to be more selective. If I went around holy spamming my powers
<DeathStar> <Soren> I would be harming Geyze
<DeathStar> <Soren> Allow me to explain to the younger spirits
<DeathStar> *Avenir just eyes Soren quietly*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Did I hear something about those huge spirits shrinking as they were coming here or was that a garbled message?
<DeathStar> <Soren> While we are not exactly like our parents and having come from the world itself, we are still connected to Geyze. We tap into it to perform our powers. Everytime we use it, we change the balance somewhere to do something here
<Jackieness> <Lana> A"hhh... actually, they ahve not gotten close enough for me to pick them up on my spirit meter yet."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hopefully those spirits will remain far away for some time
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Preferably, forever."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We do need to prepare... and if our spirits are too weak to fight them.... its... ahhh... over."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Fae and I can cut back on teleports. In fact, everyone can cut back on group teleports
<DeathStar> <Sylph> And some other little things we do. That should help stop the decline
<DeathStar> *Shin makes a face* I'm not afraid of no spirit from another galaxy/time/world.
<DeathStar> <Melodie> Hey! Hey hey hey! Can we steal... THEIR spirit energy?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We don't knwo what will happen when they show though..."
<Seraphna> Terra> Terra can help more with teleports. Terra uses Hyperspace for that.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It's not an issue of being afraid. They're powerful, and we need to be cautious."
<DeathStar> <Melodie> Steal steal steal!
<DeathStar> *Soren facepalms and Selena just props her head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If they come here to attack, it may be an option.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...that didn't sound good... but you do have a point."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Nicolette is right. I have to imagine they're so far away that the reason they're not here is the distance.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Anyway. Thank you Lana
<DeathStar> <Selena> It would have been bad to let this continue
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...and I don't know how long we have."
<Seraphna> **Terra looks crushed**
<DeathStar> *Soren pats her head* If the people who summon you want fruit or if you're feeding the hungry, continue as is
<Seraphna> Jaime> We can bring you fruit from new worlds Terra. Focus on other things. **pats her**
<DeathStar> <Soren> Just be mindful
<DeathStar> <Soren> And by hungry, I mean those who can't feed themselves
<DeathStar> <Selena> Is there anthing else on the agenda? Since Malfoy has been defeated, it seems peace has returned.
<DeathStar> <Selena> So I do not have anything to bring to the table
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, I’ll need to have a meeting of the Alliance soon. It’s time we made sure things stay safe.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Very well
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'll be going to the Amazons for a while to see my sister. I'll return later.
<DeathStar> <Melodie> My announcement is I plan to marry Mina!
<DeathStar> *She shows off a ring that she made to Sparkling*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grabs up Gnome** Until then, wife time.
<DeathStar> *Gnome makes a surprised sound, hanging in her arms* Bye bye
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's weird hearing that name though."
<Seraphna> Terra> I marry Fae Fae.
<DeathStar> <Melodie> I can keep calling Sparkling Sparkling!
<DeathStar> *Fae blinks*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...oh, is that her name?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... should I open the castle's chapel for everyone?
<Seraphna> Terra> Okay!
<DeathStar> <Selena> Let me know when you are interested. I will have it readied for you then
<DeathStar> *Fae blinks more
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-656.7.24
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> *months of traveling through the expanse of darkness, some of the crew have become a little batty, having taken gone to the recreational areas to play games all the time or other weird things besides their duty*
<DeathStar> *Cloé hangs off the ceiling to scare Bella one day*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "... ... ..."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Rawr
<DeathStar> *paw*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I have some good news and bad news. *She notes on the bridge*
<DeathStar> *Yuki braids Erica's hair, sitting on her lap*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *side-steps*
<DeathStar> *Cloé flails and falls off, landing on her feet*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Still trying that?"
<Sara> <Erica> What's the bad news?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> We have what looks to be a fleet fighting each other in the expanse, blocking our way. We simply can spend a few days or more to go around them. The good news - we're almost out of the expanse and in the next galaxy. If we cut through the fighting, we're only a few days away. Going around will add to that time
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I will get you one day
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Mom trained me to deal with ambushes."
<Sara> <Erica> Mmm... well, it's not like we're not equipped to survive a situation like that. Still annoying.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> True
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And we don't know if one is bullying the other without more information and they're delaying us
<DeathStar> *Cloé walks on the bridge all sad and thinking on how to defeat the mighty Bella*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *heads to a training room*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Shall we proceed straight ahead for now? <Ben> As you said we can pretty much handle them
<DeathStar> <Ben> If you wish to do so
<DeathStar> <Ben> And the closer we are the more info we get
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, steady as she goes
<DeathStar> *Ben nods and the Aquarius proceeds onward; a few days pass and the battle is, indeed, still occurring between the two sides, with remains of ships floating about. The two sides seem to be using junk ships for the most part, both of them similiar in nature, indicating they are from the same world, or at least the same system* <Ben> If Mireille is correct they are from the closest system to the expanse on this side.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Friendly lot. Wonder what ticked them off
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Cookie
<DeathStar> *she calls down to her*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Yes my Foxy Cousin.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Aw. Make sure to keep our shields up. We're going to try to go through them. Unless Erica wants to try to talk both sides down
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Plot a course around them and lets try not to aggro them.
<DeathStar> *Cloé hides in a package outside Bella's door*
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods, beginning their path around the fight and keeping a watch into the near future**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "... ... ..."
<DeathStar> *Yuki studies the map as they move past them* <Yuki> alright our goal is to reach Templar Space
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Once we get there by there in a few months, we should be able to return home by the end of the year
<DeathStar> -Time Hop-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-656.10.12
<DeathStar> Location: Templar Space
<DeathStar> *The Aquarius, finally docked at it's destination after a little over a year, is greeted by Cersei and Thomas, who leads them inside a large fortress*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I hope your trip wasn't too harsh
<Seraphna> Nox> Feed me fruuuits.
<DeathStar> *Cloé walks along, eyeing all the armored men and women in the halls as they are led into what appears to be a dining hall full of food and wine*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Quite a spread here."
<DeathStar> *Cersei slides a plate of fruit*
<DeathStar> *Thomas leans on his cane, having an eye patch due to his injuries back in the Dark War*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We figured you could use some food. *Yuki hands him a copy of the map they made before sitting down*
<DeathStar> *Mireille excitedly samples various foods*
<DeathStar> *while Cloé focuses on the meat*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I have a question for you. *he says to Airym, Erica, and Yuki*
<Seraphna> **Nox shares with Mire as Cookie stretches**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Ask."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Now that your assignment is done, would you consider possibily freelancing for the Templars? We are now becoming closer to the alliance that is part of your other worlds like the Suisen. You all seem like you would flourish exploring out here than doing pointless tasks. And there is the third galaxy that we are planning to explore soon with our ships. We would be glad to help provide you with some extra ... umph as you call it
<DeathStar> <Cersei> There are wonders to be found out there, as well as potential dangers to your worlds.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We shall need to confer."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Think on it after you go home and rest. The offer will stand.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We will need time to prepare some exploration ships anyway.
<DeathStar> *Yuki muses as she swallows her food*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-657.5.4
<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Castle
<DeathStar> *Kito has done up the wedding chapel to look all beautiful while Selena sits in the back. Sylph is running around in the panic while Fae looks all head tilting in her outfit*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Nicolette.
<DeathStar> *Neekito finishes Ellie's outfit*
<Seraphna> **Terra spins**
<DeathStar> *Adeline is present in the audience, as is most of the spirits*
<DeathStar> <Aska> Hm. Children these days. <Shade> I feel old
<DeathStar> *Melodie leans against Sparkling*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits with Adeline**
<DeathStar> *Aska rises and moves to the front, signaling to get Terra and Fae's attention while Sylph jitters beside Ellie and Neekito*
<Seraphna> **Terra hums and pulls Leafy to her and Fae**
<DeathStar> *Selena hands Nico a key to something while all this is going on. Melodie eyes Terra and whispers to Sparkling* Can she do that?
* Seraphna sets mode: +o DeathStar
<DeathStar> <Aska> Terra. Fae. ... *she studies Leafy*
<DeathStar> <Aska> Child of the Ents
<Seraphna> **Terra smiles**
<Seraphna> Jaime> **whispers** Does she get it from me?
<DeathStar> <Aska> You all will be connected in your love with each other which will be a bond stronger than one that you give to those who believe in you. These bonds are true connections and will also give you your mightest strength in your darkest hour. *She touches the three and waves a string of light*
<DeathStar> <Aska> You are connected in the eyes of the spirit.
<Seraphna> **Terra hugs them both close**
<DeathStar> *Adeline snorts*
<DeathStar> *Fae blinks and hugs her back along with Leafy*
<DeathStar> *Aska moves back to the others*
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-657.8.1
<DeathStar> Location: Academy
<DeathStar> *Melodie muses, looking for Aimee, while the leaders of the Alliance + Sasha are in the Alliance conference to meet Jaime*
<DeathStar> *Sylph is sprawled out in the tree house*
<DeathStar> <Selena> So
<Seraphna> Jaime> In the coming years my role will be vastly changing, and Terra and Leafy are heir to the Great Forest. I wanted to be sure this Alliance stands firm before that does.
<DeathStar> <Selena> The Alliance and the Alliance Forces has become rather stable in my opinion. Even with the Peacekeepers building their HQ nearby, it has not been disruptive to us
<Seraphna> Alita> Indeed, the Legion at least will hold to our agreements in the coming future.
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> With the trade agreement now in place, the Dark Lands have been happy
<DeathStar> *Melodie locates Aimee and begins to ask her questions about Sparkling*
<DeathStar> <Selena> So if everyone is pleased, is there anything you wished to bring up, Jaime?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Only that I will hope to retain good relations with you all in the near future as Empress. If you have any need you know to reach me.
<DeathStar> *Selena clapses her hands and nods* I understand.
<DeathStar> <Qui> Hm.

<DeathStar> *Selena has her arms crossed, looking concerned*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Lana
<Seraphna> **Talia pats him**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh?"
<DeathStar> *Aska is seeing to the citizens and right now the spirit levels seem to be slowly recovering after all these yearS*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I need to talk to you. Due to my position on the Alliance, I have been kept appraise of stuff going on
<DeathStar> <Selena> There is something going on that I fear might drag Geyze and Kumen into it once again.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And you need to talk to me...? Is it... ahh... eldritch in nature?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Mmm. Maybe. I'll bring you up to speed. *she takes her to Sasha's office*
