Session Ident: #TAW-Geyze
03* Now talking in #TAW-Geyze
01<@DS> *Ren relaxes on vacation by the school's planetarium*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
01<@DS> <Ren> I wonder what their stars are like
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Not terribly different from our own, just from a different angle."
01<@DS> <Ren> Probably
01<@DS> *Ren checks what else the school has to offer*
01<@DS> <Ren> It seems there is a haunted lab run by a crazy lady
01<@DS> <Ren> Lets see what that's all about
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Can you find Ursa Minor? At least that will tell us the Bear Minimum.
01<@DS> *Ren slowly looks up from the map at Kaelan*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Kaelan...why are you here again?"
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> I’m married to a Spirit.
01<@DS> *Nocturne leans forward* <Nocturne> Everyone loves me!
01<@DS> <Ren> *seems to be writing that joke down*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Because you are darkly beautiful dear.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...go spend time with your family then."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Well we were making out under the stars.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Because of course you were."
01<@DS> <Ren> Ah it is making me miss Charlotte
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmhmm. Because my Nocty is sexy. **wiggles her**
01<@DS> *Ren approaches the haunted shack slowly*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...Ren, this had best not result in repercussions."
01<@DS> <Ren> Well, we're about to leave soon - Taiga has requested us to attend a Fumoffu meeting, so I thought I'd do one last thing here. *they arrive before - the outside of Lana's lab*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This building is rather mundane."
01<@DS> <Ren> Well the students claim some scary woman who only comes out late at night lives in there
01<@DS> <Ren> And that she looks ghost like
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm?"
01<@DS> *Ren pulls out a charm and places it on the front door* Lets see if this has any effect
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> **watches amused**
01<@DS> *Gwen - boredly sitting in the lab, turns toward Lana* Someone is vandalizing your door.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...and how long is this supposed to take?"
<@Seraphna> **Alt yawns and peeks out of Lana’s boobs**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?!" *stands up and moves to the door*
01<@DS> *Gwen follows Lana; outside Ren pauses* Something is approachiing
01<@DS> *Ren prepares another charm*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *flings open the door* "You two ship spirits better not be vandalizing my lab again!"
03* Joins: MobileAri (~KAS@142.166.17.138)
01<@DS> *Ren jerks and puts the charm on Lana's forehead, bringing a sense of spiritual calm to her*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?!"
01<@DS> <Gwen> Hm - I do not think she is a ghost
01<@DS> *Gwen crosses his arms*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm....Ren, I see the mistake. This is not a ghost. Just a busty ginger."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *plucks off the charm*
01<@DS> <Ren> .... Time to retreat and pack out bags. *She bows to Lana and runs off*
01<@DS> *our
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *follows Ren at a more casual pace*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Momma’s pillows are mine! You run banditos!
01<@DS> <Gwen> That was weird
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Date: 10-661.7.2
01<@DS> Location: The Academy
01<@DS> *the past week+, Selena has provided Lana and
01<@DS> *the past week+, Selena has provided Lana and Nicolette assistants such as Kito and even Neekito, despite being a spirit, to help comb through the crest books and their other material.*
01<@DS> *Cypher meanwhile is back on Geyze at their house and meets with Melodie and Aimee, observing the house they've built*
01<@DS> *ship even
<Jackieness> <Lana> *going through the materials collected thus far*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Some of these spells... wow. I can see why it can be so tempting."
<@Seraphna> Talia> Have you found one to summon the Lobster King yet?
01<@DS> *Kito writes down information on another crest family* <Kito> If we go with Lana's theory about the one curse being used on Sylph
01<@DS> <Kito> The curse that can seep into a person and seize their body from them
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "It sounds feasible, and frightening."
01<@DS> <Kito> It is likely it was carved into the spears
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And in large numbers. Someone has been busy."
<@Alicia> <Sparkling> "Really, I'm not seeing the appeal."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks up* "Shortcuts to power. These spells are easy to pull off if you are willing to pay the price."
01<@DS> <Neekito> There is anothre curse that is much more frightening - assuming the spell book is giving the right formula and it is not a trick. *for the body shut down one, it seems the caster just needs to whip up the ingridents listed, then someone get it onto the target*
<@Alicia> <Sparkling> "I guess if that's all you can do..."
01<@DS> <Neekito> The true name curse is much more devastating to me. *the spell book claims once you know the name, you do not need much - all you have to do is make a effigy of the person and state the name into it and as long as you keep it close, you will control them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "True name magic is actually quite common. In ancient Judaic texts, the Supreme Being was always reffers to by a shorthand called the Tetragrammaton rather than by name for that reason."
01<@DS> <Kito> Were they powerful?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Well... we can test for traces of a concoction. True name... is harder to check for."
01<@DS> <Kito> Right now, if we can locate Vol 1, it will help us decode more of our book. As for the crests.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What have you learned?"
01<@DS> *she motions at the work they've done so far* We might need to have a talk with Shade later. Neekito and I been studying the royal families and the oldest royal lines both belong to the Hapians and the Dark Lands. So we been tracing the Dark Lands oldest noble familie s first
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh, did you find something?"
<@Seraphna> **Alt pops up** I found this cookie!
01<@DS> *She lays out 5 main houses as well as 12 branching houses from them* One of the branching houses for this noble family. *she points at the fourth house, with what looks to have a crest of slaying some sort of strange demon* Has been clashing with Shinobu's family for a while and is known to be actively trying to remove her power. The main family is likely as well, but is using them to do their dirty work for the time being
01<@DS> <Kito> Looking into it, they are known for having a massive library dating back to the beginning of the Dark Land's creation
01<@DS> <Kito> And rumor has it they know many dark spells
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "That's definitely enough to put them on the short list."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So that is one suspect...though...there are things that don't fit either. How does random raids before the big move in remote parts of the Hapian kingdom help their cause?"
01<@DS> <Neekito> If we are unsure about them
01<@DS> *she points at 4 Hapian family crests and the families that branch off from them*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "It's possible they're not working alone. Maybe teamed up with another disenfranchised family?"
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "It's pretty common for super villains to go, 'Hey, we all hate the good guys. Maybe we can defeat them together'."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Sells more issues."
01<@DS> <Neekito> One of the oldest families *she points at a sword and shield protecting the light* has been allies with the crown for generations until Selena's mother was defeated
01<@DS> <Neekito> They are not openly hostile, but things have cooled in a typical Hapian snub
01<@DS> <Neekito> Due to the power of their family, they have accumilated many books and relics over the years
01<@DS> Aw
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "We'll have to look into them too. They'd fit with the earlier troubles."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What family rules over the land where the raids happened?"
01<@DS> *Kito glances over the paperwork*
01<@DS> <Kito> One is partially owned by the Hildebrands and the other is owned by the Hawkthrones. <Neekito> The oldest family we are discussing is the Godwins
01<@DS> *while all this is going on, tt
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Are the Godwins rivals with with either of them?"
<@Seraphna> **Talia nods and listens, eyes vacant**
01<@DS> <Kito> Not to my knowledge
01<@DS> *while all this is going on, Sparkling would hear some commotion outside with Melodie and Aimee's voices*
<@Alicia> * Sparkling hurries out
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhhh...its not so simple." *flops* "...what is the connection?!"
<@Seraphna> **Talia rushes out glad of a distraction**
01<@DS> *It looks like the two are essentially pointing at Cypher who looks a bit upset, both of their voices raised and along the lines of Cypher taking the stuff in the house as well as the Mew Mew back up to Kumen*
01<@DS> *Zayne speaks up from the shadows, her dark colored school uniform hiding her a bit* It may be that we do not have enough pieces yet
01<@DS> <Zayne> Send your spies and wait for more information. It could be that none of the houses are involved.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...yeeeeeeah..." *sits up* "Zayne is right, we need more."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Godwins used to be in a place of power, they're not now. The Hildebrands have raised in status during their decline."
01<@DS> *Cypher begins to put her and Chelsea's belongings into the Mew, shaking her head*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "And honestly, I expect, if it is them, the Godwins and that other family are being used by a third party trying to destablize Geyze."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Or, at least, that's my off the cuff guess."
01<@DS> <Gwen> I wouldn't be shocked. There is another angle we can take to try to solve this
<@Alicia> <Sparkling> "What's going on?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "As good a guess as any right now."
01<@DS> <Cypher> Apparantly the two have made their own ship and plan to attach themselves to it and do not want to move to Kumen, saying we do not spend enough time down here as it is. Which I guess is fair. I just would have expected more from them - we are family.
<@Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is this my fault...?"
01<@DS> <Gwen> I'd try to find the goblins that took those women. The goblins weren't acting properly, after all - usually goblins would have done much worse
01<@DS> <Gwen> But all we Peacemakers could find was a village kidnapping
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Then they disappeared underground."
01<@DS> <Cpher> I don't see how, so don't worry Sparkling
01<@DS> <Gwen> And we couldn't locate them when we tried to follow; it was like they had a destination in mind. Usually they would hide out in their caves
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I bet the Dark Mage was waiting there."
01<@DS> <Kito> Okay....
01<@DS> <Kito> Why would he need a village of women and children?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhh...human sacrifices?!"
01<@DS> <Zayne> If you noted, the Sahigan also went after the Amazons
01<@DS> <Zayne> Though your mass stomping might make one rethink that
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The goblin raids probably meant our alert was up, so that's why the goblin raids make no sense as a prelude to the sahuagin raid."
01<@DS> <Zayne> Did another raid occur that no one has reported yet?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...good question."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Blood magic has been something they've been using... I wonder if they need to obtain specific bloodlines for their plot."
<@Seraphna> Alt> Blood Magic sucks.
01<@DS> *Kito eyes Alt*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh..its only in how you sue it. A bad blood mage would use the blood of sacrifice victims. A good blood mage would burn their own vitality to heal others."
<@Seraphna> Alt> **looks cute and kitteny**
01<@DS> <Kito> It is okay. I find this black magic to be abhorant and any blood mage who missuses it. And I am sure these people dabble in both
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Dark magic is different. It can only cause harm, either directly or indirectly."
01<@DS> <Kito> Lana is correct; I been reading over the material you all managed to scrape up, like the diary
01<@DS> <Kito> I know you may not care about my outlook that much but this is how I view this type of magic
01<@DS> <Kito> Black Magic is not creation type magic like the Spirit's magic or the magic you all draw from Geyze. Even to a small degree Blood Magic can be used as a type of creation magik by drawing on the living such as yourself. This black magik is akin to destructive magik. It might mimic all the elements, but it's actually ripping them out
01<@DS> *Cypher finishes emptying the house and gets into the Mew, turning to Sparkling*
01<@DS> <Cypher> I'll try to stop by later to see how they are. If anything happens let me know.
<@Alicia> <Sparkling> "Alright."
01<@DS> *Cypher flies off toward Kumen*
01<@DS> *Zayne closes a book* Do we want to stop for today? Unless someone has a plan of attack?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...I wish we had a plan of attack, but we are still missing data points."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Kito, we do value your opinion. It's just hard not to be wary about blood magic, since it's so easy to abuse."
01<@DS> <Neekito> I will talk to Queen Selena about spies for Hapian. I suppose I can also stop by and talk to Queen Shinobu but I do not know her as well
<@Seraphna> Talia> She’d my mom soon.
<@Seraphna> *she’s
01<@DS> *Kito pauses, then nods* Thank you
01<@DS> <Gwen> Well, Talia, why don't we all go visit your new mommy
<@Seraphna> Talia> Okay!
<@Seraphna> Alt> I have two grandmas again.
01<@DS> *Melodie and Aimee are off in the woods, working on the coolest ship ever still; by now it looks almost complete*
01<@DS> <Neekito> ...
01<@DS> *she lifts hre hands* Does anyone else want to travel?
<@Seraphna> Talia> **hugs Neekito**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh..let's get all these research materials secured first."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "I'll stay. Still have to get through a lot here. And I want to try to get a plan together to diagnose Sylph."
01<@DS> *Kito gathers stuff* If the spell in the book is correct I'll see if we can't gather some stuff to counter act it
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Are you sure?"
01<@DS> *Kito hands Neekito a pouch* Just buy some of everything at the market - to be safe
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Location: Dark Lands
01<@DS> *those who decided to come along arrive in the capital, down in the market place where it seems to be busy as always*
01<@DS> *Neekito leaves Alt and Talia behind to go shopping*
<@Seraphna> Talia> **stocks up on Daemon fish**
01<@DS> <Gwen> You came here to get that?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...Gwen...its Talia..."
01<@DS> <Gwen> I thought you wanted to see Shinobu
01<@DS> *rubs face and turns toward the tower*
01<@DS> <Gwen> Lana
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?"
01<@DS> *as they walk, more daemons seem to be keeping an eye on them, especially the large brute types that are closer to demons. One seems to be smoking something and slowly begins to follow them at a steady pace and no one seems to notice*
01<@DS> <Gwen> Anything feel off?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...plenty..."
01<@DS> *as they reach the gate, the daemon guards lean down*
01<@DS> <Guards> Bus-ness? *it smnorts smoke*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Here to see Mommas.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh...she means Shinobu...ahhh...Queen Shinobu."
01<@DS> *the guard lifts Talia up and eyes her dangerously, then opens it's mouth and stuffs her in, making licking sounds, before removing Talia back to the ground*
01<@DS> <Guard> Verified. You may rise to see the Queen
01<@DS> *it steps over to the platform and places a hand on the large lever*
<@Seraphna> Talia> I taste of royalty and fish.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *walks over* "...Talia must have a distinct flavor profile."
01<@DS> <Gwen> ... *steps on, looking completely baffled; soon the guard pulls the lever and they zoom up*
01<@DS> *thankfully they do not have to battle any of the tower's various champions nd arrive at the throne floor*
01<@DS> <Gwen> Ready?
<@Seraphna> Alt> Awww, no battles?
01<@DS> <Gwen> I--
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?!"
<@Seraphna> Talia> Ready!
01<@DS> *Gwen steps forward and pushes the doors open, where they see Shinobu talking about missing when she cuts off and turns from Alita*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Hi Mommas!
<@Seraphna> Alita> They had more than Gwen so no direct warp.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh..is this a bad time?"
01<@DS> <Shinobu> The Academy paying a visit? *Neekito appears, having a seat and setting down hre supplies* <Neekito> I am here to talk about your noble family Corson
01<@DS> *Shinobu pours what looks like blood wine and shakes it* I suppose it is not the worse time. We were discussing the nymphs who went missing the night of Qui's birthday a weeks back
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Their were abductions in similar attacks in Hapian territory. We believe they are related."
01<@DS> <Shinobu> *sips* I am not entirely surprised to hear that.
01<@DS> <Shinobu> There were many tracks, it looked like goblins, and the nymphs were merely carried off
<@Seraphna> Alita> Indeed, with the magic we saw, both blood magic and black magic are involved.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "That matches our own findings."
01<@DS> <Shinobu> Is there any assistance you are needing>
01<@DS> *she hands Lana the map of the location*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *takes a look*
01<@DS> *it does not appear to be Shade's grove at least, but it is close by*
01<@DS> <Shinobu> As far as the Corson family, how much do you know about the Royal family?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *updates their own map with this new raid point*
<@Seraphna> Talia> I know I’m a triple princess?
01<@DS> *it seems the goblins are using old cave systems to attack, but when they are explored, they are not found*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Perhaps they are in a central point?"
01<@DS> <Shinobu> Unlike the Hapian Dynasty, with it's one family forever - which I believe will fail one day, the Dark Lands allows it's people to change their minds if the chosen nobles fails them
01<@DS> <Shinobu> The Corsons were the first ruling family for many many generations but then things began to get strange. People vanished, constant fighting with the Hapians, rumors of .. well, stuff. So my family led the charge of replacing them and afterward they were chosen to become the new royal family
01<@DS> <Shinobu> It is why lately the nobles have been after the Illas family - looking for something to stop me
<@Seraphna> **Alita keeps quiet with a frown on her face**
01<@DS> *Gwen studies the cave system for some central point*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...that sounds like the plot for a holonovel."
01<@DS> <Gwen> I'll see if I can't find it
01<@DS> <Shinobu> Holonovel?
01<@DS> <Shinobu> It is most likely just the allies of the Corsons and others
<@Seraphna> Alita> A Kumen kind of book I think.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...dramatic performance shows on the holonet."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "They are called novels due to their story structure being inspired by old printed novels."
01<@DS> <Shinobu> Is one able to get their hands on these books for research material?
<@Seraphna> Talia> I can hook you up Momma Shinny.
01<@DS> *Shinobu finishes her wine* Oh yes. I wanted to bring up something while it was on my mind
01<@DS> *she nods to Talia*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?"
01<@DS> <Shinobu> Tenebrae has been pushing for this very hard and it is not often our spirit wants something so much. We have found homes for the Visage here and have begun taking them in, though many of people are not pleased. I heard Queen Selena is also doing this as well, as is Queen Qui and *taps Alita's shoulder* the Legion most likely, but the others seem to still be quiet on the subject
<@Seraphna> Alita> We should not expect the Spiritualists or the Naturalists to be receptive. They have always been closer societies.
01<@DS> <Shinobu> IT just makes me wary if around half of us is not partaking in bringing them in
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...their territory and populations are also smaller, so the Visage footprint would have a bigger potential impact on them than the larger states."
<@Seraphna> Alita> Perhaps we can have their leaders host a small amount. To get to know them?
<@Seraphna> Alita> A token response is better than nothing.
01<@DS> <Shinobu> Hm. *she eyes her tower* Maybe. I will speak with Qui and Selena
01<@DS> -SHIFT
01<@DS> Location: The Academy
01<@DS> *a few Visage are reading the pamplets on the school, curiously, while Melodie and Aimee prepare a countdown to take off*
01<@DS> *Rain stands by Sasha, monitoring*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Thoughts?"
01<@DS> <Rain> They are outside school grounds so it should be okay
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And if they get airborne and then crash into Academy grounds?"
01<@DS> <Rain> I'll see what I can do if Sparkling does nothing
01<@DS> *Zayne plops into seat beside Nicolette*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Have any remaining students and staff get to shelter before they launch."
<MobileAri> * Nicolette sighs, "This stuff is like reading another language... its so much easier to figure out what the spells say, than understanding how they work."
01<@DS> *Rain bows and vanishes like mist; after she does, Selena contacts Sasha*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *walks to her deska nd sits before opening the comm* "Niece."
01<@DS> <Zayne> I fear looking into this will paint a target on you, from whoever is using this magic, or whoevr is commanding them
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Oh, if it didn't, I wouldn't be working hard enough, heh."
01<@DS> *Zayne offers a strange look at the idea* As long as you have a plan to keep yourself safe
01<@DS> <Selena on voice box> We might have a situation
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "What is the situation?"
01<@DS> <Selena on voice box> I have been told that some of the nymphs were taken. The Visage arriving in their new homes, but Shinobu has suggested taking a few in at the royal palace to conduct peaceful relations The idea is being passed around in each of the kingdoms. But lastly, Ymir indicated something strange was going on up on Kumen - I am not sure if it is Visage related or not. She indicated she'd like us to send our Peacemakers to meet up with Asarar
01<@DS> *The spirit ship finally takes off*
01<@DS> *zooming high int othe sky*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "It's hard to make a good plan their, until we know who we're up against and what they can do."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I'll make the arrangements to see to the Peacekeepers. As for the Visage...we still know very little about them."
01<@DS> <Zayne> Then I will stick around by you until you have enough informatiion to to do so
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "I... thank you. I appreciate that."
01<@DS> <Selena on voice box> I agree. It can be used to keep an eye on them to see what they do
01<@DS> *the ship rises high and then spirit jumps out of sight*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Still...keep them at arm's length."
01<@DS> <Selena on voice box> You know I will
01<@DS> *Zayne nods when Gwen and company return*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Anything else?"
01<@DS> <Selena on box> Nothing right now. I'll get ready to see what is happening
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Until next time then."
01<@DS> *Gwen jogs over to Nicolette and Neekito drops the supplies*
01<@DS> <Neekito> To help cast spells
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...we are back!"
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Alright, I guess we're about ready to litmus test this."
01<@DS> <Gwen> Anything else we need?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Most likely! But I don't know what yet."
01<@DS> *Zayne studies the spells* We are going to try the one on Sylph?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "It is the most pressing one."
01<@DS> *Gwen sets Sylph down on a table before everyone while Zayne looks over the spear with the carvings and takes a bit of a sample from it and places in a jar*
01<@DS> *Neekito places what looks to be a root that can paralyze you once boiled complete away in liquid type deal, a piece of Sylph's hair*
01<@DS> *and finally eye of newt* <Neekito> I think I saw that in a top of spells
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...eye of newt is actually an herb. Not a literal newt's eye."
01<@DS> <Neekito> Wait, I Got the wrong item!?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Mustard seed! Eye of newt is mustard seed!"
01<@DS> <Neekito> The person assured me this is what I wanted for my soup
01<@DS> <Gwen> I'll go get the right thing unless you have it, Lana
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "...Lana, why couldn't you have just written mustard seed?"
01<@DS> *Neekito's cat ears are down, depressed at messing up*
01<@DS> <Neekito> I-I'll travel as far as I must
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...they have mustard seed in the kitchen...its a common ingredient..."
01<@DS> *off the spirit cat goes*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *lets out a breath* "...I didn't make the shopping list. Neekito did...you think a witch like me, even though I have abandoned the stereotypical props, would make such a mistake?!"
01<@DS> <Zayne> Alright, since we're trying to do the opposite of the spell. *the spell has a picture of how to enchant and make the spell, so Zayne attempts to follow the steps the opposite way for the ingridents unless stopped; Neekito returns wwith the seed*
01<@DS> <Zayne> She was just copying what was written. Blame the book
01<@DS> *she muses
<Jackieness> <Lana> /takes the mustard seed and then takes one out, setting it down* "Note the size, shape, and coloration...not unlike the eyes of certain newts."
01<@DS> *Neekito kind of just nods, but it seems it is not something she has hung out with much; Kito arrives, looking lost in thought*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ok...ahhh...learning opportunity." *lets out a breath* "...but we can make this work."
01<@DS> <Zayne> Do we want one of us to be the focus in chanting or all of us helping?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "This type of magic works better with a group."
01<@DS> <Kito> I will help where I can
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "A-ah, is that so..."
01<@DS> *Zayne offers her hand to Nicolette to do the group thing*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *goes to join hands*
<MobileAri> * Nicolette takes hands, and resists the urge to sing campfire songs
01<@DS> *Kito takes Lana's and Zayne's* <Gwen> Shame Sparkling isn't here to lend power
01<@DS> <Gwen> But I think she is playing with the ship
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We can probably manage. We just need to perform the chant in unison."
01<@DS> <Zayne> I will follow Nicolette's lead
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Then let's begin."
<MobileAri> * Nicolette nods, and then starts... chanting the incantation. Trying not to think about how weird this type of magic feels.
01<@DS> *as they begin their song, Zayne once against flows with magical energy to lend to the spell*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *follows along with the chant*
01<@DS> *right as they are finishing up, a spirit engine boom is heard as the ship returns and seems to be coming down right on top of hem. Sylph begins to slowly open her eyes while Gwen peers outside and squeals like Qui*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to keep her focus on the casting*
<MobileAri> * Nicolette keeps focused on the spell, tuning out distractions like she would on stage
03* Retrieving #TAW-Geyze modes...
01<@DS> *due to their focus, Sylph manages to be purged on time; suddenly the group finds themselves outside on the grass when the ship "lands" on their test roof, shaking the building*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhhh?!"
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "H-huh? What happened?"
01<@DS> *Sylph flops onto her back*
01<@DS> *having sent out little wind drafts to touch everyone*
01<@DS> <Sylph> Can finally scratch nose *she rubs it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...it worked..." *flops*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Hey, welcome back Sylph."
01<@DS> *Zayne sits on the ground like a proper student*
01<@DS> <Sylph> Thank you.... everyone. *she shakes herself* Was not fun not being able to move
01<@DS> <Sylph> Also ....
01<@DS> *Sylph thinks hard* Kept hearing something sometimes at night
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
01<@DS> <Sylph> Felt like someone was whispering to me, asking what name was. Would answer Sylph, but they wanted another name
01<@DS> <Sylph> Would not let go until given
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh! They wanted your true name so they could control you!"
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "You... didn't tell them, right?"
01<@DS> <Sylph> Sylph can't even recall it. Ha ha. So all is safe!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...what if they are allied with the Super Spirits, and this is how one of the spirits turned traitor?!"
01<@DS> <Sylph> That would be bad.
01<@DS> *Zayne turns her head and suddenly a time portal opens slowly*
01<@DS> <Zayne> Be on guard.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *climbs on to her feet and prepares a defensive weave*
01<@DS> *Avenir stumbles through, wearing an almost Dr. Strange cloak, holding her side which now sports a gaping hole*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?!"
01<@DS> <Zayne> I believe learning more from Sylph will have to wait---- *she notes as Avenir moves toward Lana and grabs her clohes tightly, looking into her eyes*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhhhh?!"
01<@DS> <Avenir> Need help. Need to hide... *she collapses, and her spirit energy seems to be depleting from the wound*
<MobileAri> * Nicolette runs to Avenir's side and tries to stablize the wound
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We need to get help her quickly! Spirit energy transfusion!"
01<@DS> <Gwen> *looks around to see if anyone is following*
01<@DS> *Nicolette slowly begins to help close the wound; studying it, it looks like it was done by another spirit*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries using her weave powers to try to contain Avenir's leaking spirit energy*
<MobileAri> * Nicolette channels her own spiritual energy to help Avenir. "Shit... this is bad."
01<@DS> *the two manage to keep anymore from leaking out and she begins to even recover some; Origin aiding in giving a bit*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I bet it was the Super Time Spiirt that did it..."
01<@DS> <Zayne> It looks like it was some sort of beam weapon. And a few of the hits look like a rod like weapon was beating on her
01<@DS> <Gwen> I'll get a safe house ready and when she wakes, we'll question her
01<@DS> <Gwen> But if it is her, we don't want to be in this spot for long
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Yeah, just... Avenir's recovery is the most important, okay?"
01<@DS> <Gwen> Right, get her stable. *he rides off to get the safe house ready*
01<@DS> *Zayne kneels and aid in the spirit recovery* Don't worry, Nicolette.
