Session 136: The Grand Time Tour Part II

* Day changed to Monday, 13. Oct 2025
<@DeathStar> Alright

<@DeathStar> -0-
<@DeathStar> Date: Further Back Than the Croza War 12,000 Years Ago
<@DeathStar> Location: The Peacemaker Landwalker
<@DeathStar> *Selena sits on top of the ship, eyeing a floating city up in the sky. Verdant has been having her hand in the air, listening to something, the past few hours, while Gwen looks stressed out, his helmet beside him on the boat deck. Zayne for her part simply paces about the ship, keeping up a patrol for trouble*
<@DeathStar> *Verdant's hand glows, clearly using her time powers; thankfully it would appear that the team has seemingly escaped the time anamolies that were appearing in the sky earlier, ever since the giant hand dropped them there*
<@DeathStar> *Peeps and Speedy are below deck, working on making some food, while Azif remains unconscious, leaving Wyrd, Heyu, and Mirage surprisingly to protect Alt*
<@Seraphna> Talia> You know, this means I get to claim even more things.
<@DeathStar> <Selena> A giant hand grabbed us and ripped us personally away from everything and dropped us into a time period where there's floating cities in the sky and you want to try to lay claim?
<@Seraphna> Talia> Always look on the bright side Selly.
<@DeathStar> <Qui> Do we have any ideas what it was yet?
<@Seraphna> Talia> Plus I put my name on the Hapian castle foundation last time.
<@Seraphna> Alt> It was Eldritch I think
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> Eldwhat?
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> Is protecting you going to be a problem or is something I can easily eat.
<@Seraphna> Alt> The same power Azif and I use.
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Well... we know, vaguely, what it was. Now the question is, why did it drag us here?"
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> I have a vague idea when we are. *She removes her hand* Why it dragged us here, I have no idea
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> I been listening to transmissions of the time period
<@DeathStar> *Shin arrives with Lavenza, both of them carrying soup from Peeps and Speedy to pass out*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Would this be the time Autumn went to?
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> *takes the soup with a nod of thanks* "So what do we know, Verdant?"
<@Seraphna> **Alt feeds Azif soup**
<@DeathStar> *Verdant turns to Nicolette* Alright you remember how you had me do that check to see what transmissions I could find in the past? We are actually in that time period - a week before *she motions at the cities* All this comes down.
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> I been listening to broadcasts and they are the same ones I listened to last time - Gerborlg is demanding Crimore turn over the Creation Machine
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> And our location seems to be near the Floating City of Xohan. The future version of what will become the Bandit King's domain
<@Seraphna> Alt> Are we gonna break time again?
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> If I attempted to do another time break it might not go well
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> Plus we do not have Avenir this
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> Plus we do not have Avenir this time
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Let's try to avoid breaking time. It's not good for reality."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> I also want to point out - we do not have any of the spirits at this point - Aska, Shade, and Void would not be born yet, right? That would also mean no Chronos
<@Seraphna> Terra> **slumps**
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> The Keepers are here I believe, but they would not have made any of the spirits yet
<@Seraphna> Terra> We chopped liver again Fae.
<@DeathStar> *Selena reaches out and chops Terra's head*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Alright, while Lana is recovering, we need to decide what we want to do - we are utmost and foremost a discover expedition, right?
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Well, our role might have changed.... but you're right. We need recon."
<@Seraphna> Alt> Azif still asleep.
<@DeathStar> <Qui> I can stay on the ship and watch her if you all decide to leave it.
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> Well, it appears it isn't too hard to enter any of the floating cities. They have systems that can teleport from the ground up to the city. But the question will be which city is worth the most watching? We know Greborlg and Crimore will be the biggest suspects in this upcoming week. We also know the Keepers are located in their temples if you all want to seek them out
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Crimore is the one with the Creation Machine and the one that no longer exists, right?
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Hm, what do you think, Nico? You have any ideas on where you'd like to focus your attention toward?
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "I suspect things are more complicated than they look, but the creation machine does seem important."
<@DeathStar> <Shin> We might possibly can get information on each of the cities if we have time. *Gwen sits up* <Gwen> It might be a bad idea for me to leave the ship. This is the era of the Knights right? If I showed up, they might arrest me
<@DeathStar> *Verdant stands up* Lets form a party. We'll head toward the Floating City of Xohan. If the transmissions I've picked up correct, we should be able to get a ride from there to the other cities. *Selena turns to Alt* <Selena> You going to be okay coming or do you want to remain behind?
* @Pache (~Home@pres-24-b2-v4wan-161431-cust1803.vm29.cable.virginm.net) has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Pache (~Home@pres-24-b2-v4wan-161431-cust1803.vm29.cable.virginm.net) joins #Geyze
<@DeathStar> *Lavenza shrinks herself and goes under Nico's hat*
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> I got a question
<@DeathStar> *She asks Nicolette*
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Hm?"
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> Does whatever that thing is come with the hat? When you pass that hat on to your kid, do you give both of them away?
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> Cause I'll buy the hat if it's a two for one deal
<@Seraphna> Alt> Her name is Lavenza.
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> I call it emergency food
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "One, no, I'm not selling my hat. Two, she's family, not a pet."
<@DeathStar> *Lavenza chirps in outrage and pokes herself back fully under the hat*
<@DeathStar> *Selena and Zayne gather supplies up and step off the ship. Selena turns and offers a hand to Nicolette if she needs it*
<@DeathStar> *Verdant and Shin follow suit*
<@Seraphna> **Alt eyes Mirage** Be good~
<@DeathStar> *Mirage jerks and straightens up*
<@Seraphna> **Alt makes sure Azif is comfy and takes her blades to follow**
<@DeathStar> *Wyrd, Heyu, and Mirage escort Alt off the ship*
<@Ari`> * Nicolette graciously accept the step up, though her attention seems to be elsewhere.
<@DeathStar> *Verdant runs ahead of them, with Shin and Zayne kepeing up with her at least, while Selena walks by Nicolette*
<@DeathStar> *as they near the floating city above them, flying vehicles can be seen going in and out, flying all about the place, some even landing on the ground in the distance. The mana in the area seems high, higher than even in the present*
<@DeathStar> <Wyrd> It is hard to imagine that there is flying vehicles in this time period
<@DeathStar> <Wyrd> How did an advanced civilization vanish almost completely?
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Well, I expect we're going to find out."
<@Seraphna> Alt> Big boom!
<@DeathStar> <Heyu> Big boom
<@DeathStar> *Heyu mimics*
<@DeathStar> *as they get closer underneath the city, they would spot what looks to be a large Keeper temple off to the side near some mountains; and off to the left is a small city built around the teleportation system*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Probably whatever broke the creation machine.
<@DeathStar> *Verdant turns and points at the small city*
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> That is our destination
<@DeathStar> *The small city looks to be the type of city for people arriving on the ground, or for those leaving to go to the city - it looks to various items and shops set up, as well as some places to eat as Verdant leads them toward it*
<@DeathStar> *oddly, there does not seem to be much of a line at the teleportation center as they step in and there is a bit of tension in the air among the store owners*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Can cut tension with butter knife
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Hm. *She looks around*
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> Should I run around and scare them?
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Yeah..." Nicolette glances around for some sort of news. Hoping that maybe she can get a better sense of what's going on.
<@DeathStar> <Wyrd> Maybe they don't like being so close to that scary temple. *she murmurs as they approach the teleport center; at first as Nicolette glances around, it would not seem as if there are any sort of news, but as they enter the teleportation center, large screens are on the wall, showing broadcasts from each of the cities, playing news from their top channels. Some of the labled screens are listing cities that no longer seem to exist anymore, or at least cities the team hasn't run across*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Should we check it out?
<@DeathStar> *the broadcasters seem to be discussing the fact the Order of the Knights have been asked to come together from each of the 12 Kingdoms and discuss what to do about Crimore and Greborlg.*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> I can see why there are so many rogue Knights now...
<@DeathStar> *one of the screens discusses Kumen and what their plans are in all this, as newscasters are stating their fear they might launch an attack during all this and that Crimore is not the real problem*
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> How is it that these people are so paranoid?
<@Seraphna> Alt> They make us seem relaxed!
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Hm..."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> If Kumen might have been the attackers, that adds another layer to the mystery
<@Seraphna> Terra> I wonder when their spirits came about.
<@DeathStar> *the channels seem to be going over things now - about how Greborlg is demanding Crimore turn over the Creation Machine or it will use the Tower on them - the Magi Tower - and destroy them and it - otherwise. Many Kingdoms have been trying to get the Kingdom to back down but due to it's heavily military power, they do not think it is possible, hence calling in the Knights due to their neutrality in situations*
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> Timeline wise
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> The Keepers should be working on the first ones now - that would be Lavenza and perhaps these new ones that are located over here that were never awakened or have been sealed away. As well as my brethern
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> The two projects were being worked on at the same time on two different worlds.
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> Aska and company would then be activated a few hundred years later to restore the planet after whatever happens here in a week, I believe
<@DeathStar> *Selena steps up to the person running the teleporter* I would like to .... *motions up* Go up
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Yeah. We have a lot to look into, and not a lot of time."
<@DeathStar> *the man behind the booth, looking to be in his 40's, eyes all of them, glancing over them slowly, then brings out a odd looking scanner and waves it over Selena's hand. The second it begins to run, it begins to fire a beam of magic out, as if scanning her hand as well as printing something onto the back of it. After it's done, it looks like she has been given a temporary stamp to allow her to use it*
<@Ari`> * Nicolette steps forward for her ticket, "...it's like an amusement park, eheh."
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> If we are interested in the Keepers, we could approach one of their sites. We know the Keepers survive to keep working - they only leave due to whatever is going on with the Croza
<@Seraphna> Terra> Selena has… the Mark!
<@DeathStar> *The man scans Nicolette and she also gets a stamp.*
<@DeathStar> *Zayne holds out her hand and at first the machine acts a bit odd, like it's picking up something unusual from the spirit, but then it gives her the stamp as well*
<@DeathStar> *the man studies the machine, then shrugs*
<@Seraphna> **Alt tries it**
<@DeathStar> *Alt also easily gets a stamp. Wyrd and Heyu hold out their hands and the man scans them, then looks at them* <Man> Sword Familiars? *he ties a string to them, then the same color to Alt* There.
<@DeathStar> *he goes to scan Verdant and tilts head* You have no magic ability? Hm. *looks up* Do any of you mages vouch for them?
<@Seraphna> Alt> I do.
<@DeathStar> *Mirage meanwhile seems to have hidden herself on Alt*
<@Seraphna> Alt> I collect companions. Fox noises.
<@DeathStar> <Man> Hm. Okay. *he wraps a white color around Verdant and Shin, then places the same color around Alt*
<@DeathStar> *he boots up the teleporter* Step on and have fun
<@Seraphna> Terra> I think we’ll scan fine, Fae fae.
<@DeathStar> <Fae> Why do you think that?
<@Seraphna> Terra> We have mortal parents.
<@DeathStar> *Fae holds out her hand and is scanned - and flunks*
<@Seraphna> Terra> **tries** Wait how can you flunk it?
<@DeathStar> <Man> It is rare, but some people do not have magic talent
<@DeathStar> <Fae> Fae is a faiiiilure
<@Seraphna> Terra> She with me.
<@Seraphna> **Terra pats and creates a fruit for her**
<@DeathStar> *Terra flunks*
<@DeathStar> *Selena pauses, then vouches for them*
<@Seraphna> Terra> Guess Hyperspace not count either.
<@DeathStar> *the man eyes Terra oddly at being able to make fruit, yet flunking the scanner. He moves off to report the odd group*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> I think we should move
<@DeathStar> *she steps onto the teleporter and vanishes*
<@DeathStar> *Zayne mm's and follows; Verdant and Shin follow suit, then all of Alt's followers*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Alt Corps move out.
<@Ari`> * Nicolette plucks a flower from thin air, without using magic, and hands it to the man. "Stage magic is wonderous, isn't it?" She smiles, and steps onto the teleporter
<@DeathStar> *The team appears in what looks to be a hub like building; people seem to be moving about the building, stopping at various desks to inquire about taking ships to other cities and the entire place looks very busy and crowded. There seem to be a sense of dread in the air and on the board various flights are being listed and their departure times. However, two of the cities look to be having trouble - Crimore flights look to be canceled, and Greborlg seems to be hit with heavy delays*
<@DeathStar> *on the large news screens, the newscasters are talking about how Crimore is halting all flights to their Kingdom currently "for protection" while Greborlg is having issues with many people trying to leave the city for fear of them firing their magic tower*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> I--- *she looks flustered and her breathing begins to pick up due to the sheer amount of people crowded around her*
<@Ari`> * Nicolette puts her hat on Selena's head, "So where do you think we should head first?"
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Right. *She looks at the chaos* If I'm hearing this right, they closed off Crimore and getting to Greborlg is going to be harder. *turns to Verdant* Maybe we can look around this place a bit and see if we can't find another way to one of those two cities then. Maybe find a private ship like we have with the Aquarius
<@Seraphna> Alt> Just think of it as a big bin of kittens!
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> It couldn't hurt
<@Seraphna> Talia> We’d probably have to… acquire… it.
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> We could also try to steal one if we want. That shouldn't hurt the timeline too bad
<@DeathStar> *Zayne pauses, then turns to look at Talia*
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Well... let's try to avoid unnessisary trouble."
<@DeathStar> <Shin> I been thinking. *she notes as Verdant leads them outside; outside the door, they would find themselves indeed in the sky, large buildings towering among the clouds and everthing appearing to run all on magic. Vehicles looking a lot like flying cars almost drive by in the air and there are some parked outside the building, offering rides to people that are arriving at the hub. People sit down and show their stamps before getting rides. The city seems to stretch on for miles and there are terminals all over the place, offering maps and directions. They also appear to be interactive, answering questions when people direct queries at them. Large magic airships with balloons fly about as well in the air - everything seems to be run on a type of magic tech*
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Oh?"
<@DeathStar> <Shin> That Keeper Temple we saw below, that must hold Lau. Wasn't it said that the Bandit King's descenants fell on it or came across it after whatever is to come? And they then used her?
<@DeathStar> *ancestos
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Oh, that's a good idea. I wonder if she's about yet..."
<@DeathStar> *Fae lays on Terra*
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> It's a high probability. But I'm not sure what we could do in our favor even if we went and saw her. If we woke her prematurely, that could cause a time break
<@Seraphna> **Terra nuzzles her wife**
<@Seraphna> Alt> If we make friends with Lau…
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Well, she'd have to see. We don't want to change time, buuuuut..."
<@Seraphna> Alt> Maybe we can at least make things easier when we get back?
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> I will see if I can find a moment in time then for us
<@Seraphna> Talia> Oh I think we should see her.
<@DeathStar> *as they speak, there's a commotion down the street*
<@DeathStar> *Zayne cranes her head, trying to see*
<@Seraphna> Alt> A commotion!
<@DeathStar> *it appears as if a large group of women have gathered around in one spot*
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Alt
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Turn into a cat for me
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> I clearly need to work on transformation magic
<@DeathStar> <Selena> .... *tries to picture Zayne as a cat*
<@Seraphna> **Alt poofs into a kitty**
<@DeathStar> *Zayne grabs Alt and rears back, calculating the angle and throws her into the crowd of women*
<@DeathStar> <Heyu> H-Hey!
<@DeathStar> *Alt would land on top of a Knight, who is surrounded by adoring fan girls, as they make their way toward a private ship*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Meow.
<@DeathStar> *the Knight pauses, lifting Alt up* <Knight> Now who do you belong to?
<@Seraphna> Alt> Meow, mew. Give me treats. Mew.
<@DeathStar> <Knight> .. did you speak?
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew.
<@DeathStar> <Knight> .... *looks past the fangirls, seeing if they can find the owner. Zayne pushes Talia, Selena, and Nicolette forward*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Oh there she is.
<@DeathStar> <Knight> Is this little one yours? *they ask while petting Alt*
<@DeathStar> *the fangirls glare daggers at Talia*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew. Pet me. Mew mew.
<@Seraphna> Talia> Yep. My little Alt.
<@DeathStar> *The Knight holds out Alt out to Talia* You should becareful. You wouldn't want such a cute little kitten to get hurt, m'lady
<@Seraphna> **Talia takes her and Alt paws**
<@DeathStar> <Selena> You seem very popular
<@Seraphna> Talia> Thank you.
<@Seraphna> Terra> She’s a trouble maker but cute.
<@DeathStar> *The Knight looks ataken back at someone not knowing who they are* <Knight> Ah, I'm one of the Knight Order, m'lady. Knight Sheera. I am glad your kitten is unharmed. *the fangirls hiss at them now*
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> I must depart now - I have to make haste to Greborlg.
<@Seraphna> Talia> Ooo, we’re heading that way.
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> You have urgent business there?
<@DeathStar> *she looks at their stamps* I see you are high tier mages
<@DeathStar> *Selena glances at the stamps given to them*
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Eheh... I might know a little bit about magic."
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> I see you are modest. I do not mind giving you a ride, if your business is important. Come along. *the fan girls are now sharpening their blades. Well, their fangirl stuff*
<@DeathStar> *Sheera walks along through the city toward the private docks*
<@Seraphna> **Talia turns and smiles murder at the fangirls when she’s not looking, her giant cat form outline showing a moment**
<@Seraphna> **Talia then follows with Alt**
<@DeathStar> *passing large billboards advertising the latest in magic tech - located in one's cape, sure to not only be stylish, but will improve one's magic by 3x. Only 99.99. There's also a deal in a new magic hat that can improve one's magic abilities and charisma, great for storing magic items, increasing one's storage as well as doubling one's mana capabilities*
<@DeathStar> *onle 199.99 gold*
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> We should rob this place before leaving - and eat the clerks
<@Seraphna> Alt> No eating clerks. They taste bad.
<@Seraphna> **Talia grabs a cake after Alt gives her kitten eyes**
<@DeathStar> *Zayne walks along and Selena shakes her head*
<@DeathStar> <Fae> .... *Gives Fae eyes to Terra*
<@Seraphna> **Terra gets her a cape too**
<@Seraphna> Talia> Nicolette is kind of our hat girl.
<@DeathStar> *Sheera arrives at what looks to be a private dock* Hat girl?
<@DeathStar> *they turn to look at Nicolette* That is quite the magician's hat
<@Seraphna> Talia> It’s full of surprises.
<@DeathStar> <Heyu> ... *begins to stare at the hat intently now*
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Thanks. It was a present." She's quite proud of her hat.
<@Seraphna> Alt> I would look good in hat too.
<@DeathStar> *Sheera touches the ship and gives it a burst of magic energy so that it unlocks the side door for people to enter; they pause and turn to look at Alt* Did she..?
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew.
<@Seraphna> Talia> It’s my catty voice.
<@DeathStar> *inside the ship, it's magic tech looks quite advanced. It doesn't seem to be Aquarius level due to the fact the Aquarius has spirit tech and other technology added to it, but the magic tech inside it is quite impressive. The Knight sits down at the captain's chair*
<@DeathStar> *various systems have mana running through their systems and the entire ship seems to be charged with magic power. Shin and Verdant look a bit nervous since spirit and mana do not mix well, but they take a seat*
<@DeathStar> *Selena finds a seat, as does Zayne; Alt's crew sit aroud Talia in the back and Fae sits on Terra's lap*
<@Seraphna> Terra> **kisses Fae**
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> Knight Sheera. I was wondering if I might impose on your time for a bit longer; it is something important and I think being a Knight of Xohan, it could benefit you as well
<@DeathStar> *Sheera's head turns toward them, and due to wearing a helmet it is hard to tell what they are thinking*
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> Could you fly us to the temple in the mountain below? With everything happening we are worried for your kingdom's future
<@DeathStar> *Sheera grabs the controls and takes off; they begin to fly away from Xohan, leaving the city behind. As they get some distance away from it, Xohan appears to be larger than Varia which managed to remain in the air, but the overall size for the city isn't that massive. Sheera begins to navigate down toward the ground and lands next to the Keeper Temple*
<@DeathStar> *Selena slowly steps out of the ship and glances over the temple while Sheera fiddles with something; the temple itself doesn't have an apparant entrance that she can see*
<@Ari`> * Nicolette heads out, "Hm... think they have a doorbell or something?"
<@Seraphna> Talia> Big but no door?
<@DeathStar> *Lavenza peeks head out from under the hat while Sheera isn't looking*
* Alicia (~Home@pres-24-b2-v4wan-161431-cust1803.vm29.cable.virginm.net) joins #Geyze
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew. Purr.
<@DeathStar> <Lavenza> Might respond to spirit energy or Keeper language
<@Seraphna> Talia> I only know Ancient.
<@DeathStar> *Lavenza rehides herself*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Signs work?
<@DeathStar> *Sheera steps out from the private flying ship, studying the temple* It looks the same as ever. The Keepers are a mysterious bunch from what I'm told
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> Only a few in the government are kept apraised of what their projects are all about.
<@Ari`> * Nicolette ponders a moment, before tentative speaking the word "Open" in keeper language.
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> Gavin might have an idea as well. *they pause as something begins to shift in the back of the structure, and an opening begins to rise up*
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Oh, hey, that worked."
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> Are you some sort of Keeper committee? *They look around the area, lifting their gauntlet hand* I think I see something in the distance. *referring to their Peacemaker Landwalker - the odd thing is, it would be so far out, that the others would have a hard time spotting it*
<@DeathStar> *except maybe the catgirls*
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "What? No. They're still much a mystery to us. I'm just... well, I read a lot."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> That's my Nicolette
<@Seraphna> Talia> Oh that’s nothing.
<@DeathStar> *Zayne slowly creeps inside the structure. It is designed a lot like it was for Lavenza's, with information on the spirit information on their element being displayed, as well as information on the spirit, which right now simply has the code name based on her element which seems to be a moon based element. Deeper inside in a chamber Lau can be seen, spirit energy being infused inside her still until she is awakened by whomever*
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> And what is this?
<@DeathStar> *Fae pulls Terra to the side*
<@DeathStar> <Faer> Terra.
<@Seraphna> **Terra blinks**
<@Seraphna> Terra> Yes love?
<@DeathStar> <Fae> Before we leave, you should set it up so the others on the ship can follow us by setting up a teleport link from the Peacemaker ship to the Knight's ship. Once we go far far away, they will have trouble following us otherwise
<@Seraphna> **Terra nods** Okay.
<@Ari`> * Nicolette heads inside, looking for information on how they're preparing the moon spirit. "The keepers seem to be developing entities to stabilize the energy of the world. This is one of them."
<@Seraphna> Terra> Must be hard job.
<@DeathStar> *it appears Lau's spirit energy was meant to link with the many moons of Geyze and Kumen, as well as keep everything stable. She was also designed to protect the planet from anything that might strike the two worlds from outside by acting as a shield. The spirit energy being given to her looks to be cosmic spirit energy mixed with spirit energy from Geyze itself, connecting her to the world, but also allowing her to do more than just be part of the life cycle like others*
<@Seraphna> Alt> So that’s why she unstable… Mew.
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "I'm not sure she's unstable, but... they were ambitious with this one." She keeps scanning the data, looking to see if they're feeding any information to the spirit at this point.
<@DeathStar> *it appears at this point, nothing more is being fed to her; she is simply on standy mode and being fed spirit energy to help make her stronger*
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> If everything is working properly, should we not leave it alone?
<@Seraphna> **Terra sets things up**
<@DeathStar> *Zayne glances at Terra* Are you intending to mess with the Keeper code?
<@Seraphna> Talia> **muses, and Alt seems to be thinking of what she can do to help Lua**
<@Seraphna> Terra> Just setting up relay for others.
<@DeathStar> *Zayne nods*
<@DeathStar> *Verdant whispers* I do not know when they create the slave crest. I'm sorry. I would have to jump ahead in time.
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> My best guess is they create it sometime after the fall and then apply it to her
<@Seraphna> Alt> Alt has… idea.
<@Seraphna> Alt> Let’s see if I can replicate Azif servant binding? If leave it now it will be hidden under mark.
<@Seraphna> Alt> Might let me supersede it.
<@DeathStar> *Sheera stands behind Alt, arms crossed, peering down at her*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew.
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Yeah... we don't want to wake her. That'd be trouble for everyone." She turns back to the enterance, using a spell to send a quiet psychic whisper to the spirit, "Sleep well, Lua."
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> Servant binding magic? That is some dark magic you are discussing there little kitten
<@Seraphna> Talia> I throw my voice for fun.
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew mew. I’m a kitty.
<@DeathStar> *Mirage giggles wildly at Alt suggesting using it, wildly amused*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mirage sit.
<@DeathStar> *Zayne nods at Nicolette and begins to head for the exit, while Mirage sits forcefully*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew. Purr.
<@DeathStar> *Selena leads Sheera for the exit as well*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Dear. You can actually purr… **she whispers following**
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> As a Knight, I should warn you - even if you think it to be for a good cause, do not go using certain magics all casually
<@Seraphna> Alt> Trying to counter worse magic.
<@Seraphna> Alt> Meow.
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> Every spell cast will have a price paid - it is always better to have it be a price you're willing to pay, then one you'll regret later
<@Seraphna> Terra> You mean the Creation Machine?
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> Ah, it is on the news a lot. I can see why people would be fearful. *he sits down at his ship*
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> Hopefully we Knights can get to the bottom of it
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Skillful subject change."
<@DeathStar> *Sheera lifts off from the ground and begins to fly them away from the area*
<@Seraphna> **Terra gives Nico stealthy respeck knuckles**
<@DeathStar> *Fae looks back and forth, confused*
<@DeathStar> *Verdant seems lost in thought while Shin seems to be rubbing her temples*
<@Seraphna> Alt> May have to sneak back to try…
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew.
<@Seraphna> Talia> I think she caught on.
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "No, you're not sneaking back to enslave a spirit."
<@DeathStar> <Shin> I would hate to stab you
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> That would make you bad guys which means nom nom
<@Seraphna> Alt> I was just gonna lightly put my own on before the bad people do. Do can command her free.
<@Seraphna> Talia> The logic could work but…
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Sheera, what all do the Knights do? *She asks while they talk in the back, distracting Sheera from hearing them*
<@Seraphna> Talia> A pity we can’t form a pact sign her now.
<@Seraphna> Talia> That might work to break a mark later.
<@DeathStar> <Sheera> The Knights typically focus on each of their Kingdoms and impartially see to fairness, order, all that. They do not let anything come between them, so even if a leader were to become rotten, they would stop them just the same as a commoner. They also are the ones sent to mediate between Kingdoms, meeting with the other Kingdom's Knights. And when something like this happens, we all will meet up to come up with a solution
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> There's a possibility....
<@DeathStar> *she studies everyone*
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> That going in there was meant to happen
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "That's very noble, Sheera. And I hope that all of the knights can uphold that ideal."
<@Seraphna> Alt> Cat Noises??
<@Seraphna> Talia> You’re doing that on purpose.
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Well, I thought it strange at the time that Lau was willing to talk to Nicolette instead of just outright attacking
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> For an attack dog, that seemed rather odd to me. I would not have given the target a chance to change my mind
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "You think she remembered, because we already did this?"
<Alicia> * Yoiyami walks up around that (Zayne's) line.
<@Seraphna> Talia> So we are in a time loop again.
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> It is hard to say. It could also be you being you, but the fact she gave you the chance is amazing
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Again?"
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> I don't want to jump to conclusions on time loops
<@Seraphna> Talia> Before your time little miss.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Ah. Wanted to make sure I hadn't been losing memories."
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> If we go jumping to that conclusion, we might start making mistakes
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Hmm... could be. I want to believe she's a good person, and just wanted to be treated like an individual."
<@Seraphna> Alt> Alt was born during time loop.
<@Seraphna> Talia> That’s true, Alt’s date of birth is actually before the literal founding of Hapian.
<@DeathStar> *Shin seems quiet, then suddenly moves to the back as if to be ill*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Really, making sure people have the chance to change their minds about things is pretty wise."
<@Seraphna> Terra> You okay Shin?
<Alicia> * Yoiyami uses empathy to check Shins emotions... if it works on spirits that is
<@DeathStar> *up ahead Greborlg can be seen floating in the sky - the massive military like city looks much like it did in the present day, only now it is much more prestine, and more powerful looking. The weaponry looks to be in tip top shape, the various magic cannons pointed out and ships are all over the sky, some waiting to be let in due to how backed up thigns are right now. And in the middle of the city is the massive Magic Tower. Even from here, one can see it is prepped and ready with mana, glowing and ready to be used at any moment*
<@Seraphna> **Terra likes to think she has emotions. Like her love of Fae and Fruit, possibly in that order.**
<@DeathStar> *Yoiyami would see that Shin is feeling nauseou due to feeling something growing and it's driving her ill*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "...okay, that is really not good."
<@DeathStar> <Shin> I am seeing --feeling - what is to come. I have sixth sense of death
<@DeathStar> <Shin> And many many people are going to die soon... *She says softly so Sheera doesn't hear* It is making my head hurt
<@Seraphna> Terra> Thst sound bad.
<@Seraphna> Terra> Means the weapon will fire soon.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "... I remember big sis saying how hard violence is for her. Even just being around it..."
<@DeathStar> *Shin glances at Sheera, as if she is eyeing a dead person walking*
<@DeathStar> *The ship lands in the private hanger*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "How quickly can we get to the tower?"
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Even if we could.... it is not our place to change things, is it?
<@DeathStar> *she sounds grim*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "...what are you talking about?"
<@DeathStar> *Zayne looks at Yoiyami* We are currently in the week before everything burns and all these cities fall. Before what leads to the current state of things in the present day. If we made a move to change that, it would lead to a time break so massive, it is impossible to tell the ramifications
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "...maybe. But we need more information to know for sure."
<@DeathStar> *Selena muses* Something or someone brought us to this moment. We need to know what is going on before we do anything too big
<@DeathStar> *Sheera meanwhile has been outside the ship and has met with a large number of other Knights - one of them is a large Knight with fancy armor. Armor that Nicolette would recognize - The Magic Emperor's armor*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Wasn’t Momma Autumn’s hologram from here?
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "It's not like they're going to change their mind."
<@DeathStar> *Selena is also staring outside the ship*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> ...
<@DeathStar> <Fae> Yes. You're right. Autumn supposedly is in this time period somewhere
<@DeathStar> *Fae wiggles*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "But, I get it. I've been holding back because I don't know what to do either."
<@DeathStar> *The Knights all begin to approach the ship and Sheera leans in* Talking Kitty, Talia, Nicolette, Selena, Zayne -- I would like to introduce you to the leader of our order.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Not sure if I'm included, but I'm Yoiyami, if it matters."
<@Seraphna> Alt> Can call me Alt the Magnificent.
<@DeathStar> *Sheera motions at the Magic Emperor person* This is Gavin, the head of our Knights. *the Knight bows their head, removing their helmet to reveal a dark haired man in their mid 30's* <Gavin> Hello, Yoiyami. Alt. I hear you all were able to open a Keeper temple. You must be quite impressive.
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> Or Magnificent as you say
<@DeathStar> *Selena seems to be frozen, not moving much as she eyes his face, despite the fact he is smiling*
<@Ari`> * Nicolette curtseys, using the motion to regain her smiling demenure. "It's nice to meet you, Sir Gavin."
<@Seraphna> Tali> **whispers** What?
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Nice to meet you."
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> Greborlg is not the most friendly of places. Sheera indicated you seemed a bit ... out of town. Perhaps from over the sea. If you need a place to stay while here, feel free to seek our establishment and we can provide a room for you. *he turns to the others* We must meet up with the other Knights and speak to the Greborlg leaders before moving to Crimore. *he puts his helmet back on and the Knights bow, before beginning to leave*
<@DeathStar> *Selena exhales finally*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> That was the Magic Emperor.... or at least... his ancestor...
<@Seraphna> Talia> Well the other one goes by Gavin too.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "I was just about to ask if we're judging people by their ancestors."
<@DeathStar> <Fae> But how could the Magic Emperor be alive after more than 12,000 years?
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Time travel, ressurection, cryogenics, time stasis..."
<@DeathStar> <Fae> Yoi wins
<@Seraphna> Terra> Well, Aska’s almost that old..
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "I'd normally assume one of the latter, but it's not like the former two are that rare around this group."
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> There are many dark spells that could keep him alive that long - plus we do not know everything about those armors. Gwen indicated each armor does something different
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Apparently immortality too."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> An immortal armor?
<@DeathStar> <Selena> If that is the case, I wonder what Gwen's is
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Some sort of super-life-support, anyway"
<@Seraphna> Talia> It’s fun~
<@DeathStar> *Selena turns slowly toward Talia*
<@DeathStar> *noticing a giant eyeball floating near her, watching the team*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "What's fun? Immortality?"
<@Seraphna> Talia> **looks innocent and fixes her hair**
<@Seraphna> **Alt shows off her new cloak to the eyeball**
<@DeathStar> *Shin mumbles to herself* I know some of those Knights are going to die soon.
<Alicia> * Yoiyami says nothing, but hopes the team know to not discuss the future around the eyeball
<Alicia> * Well, the far future
<@DeathStar> <Shin> But clearly their armor will survive
<@DeathStar> *the eyeball seems focused on Alt's cloak*
<@DeathStar> *Selena stands up and turns to the others*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Alright, if Shin and Verdant are right, our time is limited
<@Ari`> <Nicolette> "Nothing says he's active all those years... but yeah, evidence has suggested it's the same guy."
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Do you have a plan?"
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Do we want to get rooms at a normal inn and see what we can pick up around town - or do we want to risk it all and see if we can't ask the Knights to let them stay with them? As much as it makes me shudder? We
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Nico, should we really be discussing the future around floating eyeballs?"
<@DeathStar> <Selena> We'll be closer to the action
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> The eyeball is fine. It's Gwen's.
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> He clearly has some monster control
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "So, did he gain or have immortality, die, or get thrown through time?"
<@Seraphna> Talia> Fun control~
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> It is a good question
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Does anyone have *that* power?"
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> There is a lot about Gavin that is hard to know
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> We should use this time period to study him
<@DeathStar> <Verdant> I vote we take up his offer to bed with the Knights
<@DeathStar> *Shin coughs on the phrasing*
<@Seraphna> Alt> I’m not supposed to recruit him to Alt Squad right?
<@DeathStar> *Malice eyes Alt*
<@DeathStar> <Malice> Do you just want to get every bad person on your team?
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "...I mean, if it works..."
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "I don't think it will, though."
<@Seraphna> Alt> Like a… Bad Girls Squad.
<@DeathStar> <Selena> ... *closes eyes at the idea* If you want to try to make friends with him, I will not stop you
<@DeathStar> <Selena> After all, if it can lead to more information, the better
<@Seraphna> Alt> **puts an evil eyepatch on Heyu**
<@DeathStar> *Heyu blinks and flails at the lack of depth perception*
<@Seraphna> Alt> We gotta be bad girl looks.
<@DeathStar> <Heyu> R-Right
<@DeathStar> *Wyrd crosses her arms*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Wyrd already have sexy gothic Lolita look.
<@DeathStar> *Wyrd jerks*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Alright, I will get us room and board with the Knights then
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "I'd complain that it's rude, but... a dark one from a pirate lineage hardly has room to be complaining about this."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Just keep one thing in mind
<@Seraphna> Alt> Yoi want to join Bad Girls Squad?
<@DeathStar> <Selena> This Gavin might not be the Magic Emperor yet, but do not underestimate him just because everyone claims he is a wonderful guy. In a few days time, that will change and he'll likely become our enemy
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Just because people say he's wonderful doesn't mean he is."
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Exactly.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "He could be faking it... or he could just turn evil."
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Everyone should remain extra vigilant while we're over there
<@Seraphna> Alt> Unless he Emperor’s Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandpa.
<@DeathStar> <Fae> That's pretty great

<@DeathStar> -Minis are open-
<@DeathStar> *the team has been granted room and board over at the Knights private lodgings near the Magic Tower and castle*
<@DeathStar> *Selena keeps to her room while Zayne seems to be doing a head count on the 12 Knights*
<@DeathStar> *Fae makes Terra feed her*
<@Seraphna> **Terra makes fruits**
<@DeathStar> *Fae munches*
<@DeathStar> *Zayne quietly jots down notes* So tell me something Alt
<@DeathStar> *she watches Gavin sitting with the other Knights*
* Day changed to Tuesday, 14. Oct 2025
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Do you plan to still mark the spirit?
<@DeathStar> *Gavin moves off by himself and sits, eating some food, Zayne watching*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Maybe… should I?
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> I would seek other solutions first, myself.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "This is a delicate situation, and I don't agree with a lot of marks."
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> *nod* I know Azif did the servant mark for you when it came to Mirage, but I think it is because Azif would do pretty much anything for you. And Mirage is can be pretty dangerous, so she might have been thinking of your safety
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> But if you use that ability everytime, it could end up a deteriment
<@DeathStar> *Gavin brings out a large piece of paper and begins to do something, occasionally glancing up at Yoiyami, Zayne, and Alt*
<@Seraphna> **Alt sneaks over and peeks**
<@DeathStar> *he seems to be drawing them*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Like how we look~?
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> You are an unusual group
<@Seraphna> Alt> Most would probably say the Knights are too.
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> Oh? *he looks up* I didn't know people found us unusual
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Outsiders are often unusual because they are unfamiliar."
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "So, travellers also find new places unusual, even though they are the outsiders."
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> Ah. I suppose even though each Kingdom does have a Knight, they can't be everywhere. *He admits* I have found that the towns on the ground often are neglected compared to the cities in the sky
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> Well if you have any questions, me or my Knights can answer them.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "How common are flying cities?"
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Since not everyone can live in the sky, I'm wondering how many can."
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> Well, some of the Kingdoms, while they have flying cities, also have populace on the ground under the city through teleportation systems, since not all can live in the city as you said, but for those who do have cities in the sky or multiple cities in the sky - Well, you have Greborlg here. You have Varia - Gradia, Xohan. There is also Pheria. Tirent. Vivenul. And well, my home Kingdom of Crimore. But it's an unusual case.
<@Seraphna> Alt> Why that?
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> I suppose you all must be further south never ot see Crimore. *he pulls out a drawing of it - it looks as if an entire island - no bigger, a massive landmass, who knows based on the drawing how big it is, is floating in the sky, with the a large city on top of it*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "So, less a city, more a... megapolis?"
<@Seraphna> Alt> Megalovapolis?
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> I suppose that is an apt way of putting it. Many consider Crimore the largest magi-tech city in the world.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "It literally just means 'really big city'."
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> Then yes, then it it is a megapolis
<@DeathStar> *he hands Yoiyami a drawing of herself*
<@DeathStar> *it seems laced in magic*
<@Seraphna> **Alt has occupied his lap as a cat**
<@DeathStar> *Gavin raises an eyebrow, then gives Alt a drawing of her - in her humanoid form*
<@Seraphna> Alt> I’m pretty.
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> The magic in the drawing will keep it safe from harm or changing. But if you find yourself in need you can draw the magic from the picture to protect yourself. *to both of them*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Wow, thanks. I haven't heard of that type of magic before."
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> Yes, there are certain paints and drawings one can do to create magic
<@DeathStar> *Selena explores the Knight building; studying portraits of the 12 Knights on the wall*
<@DeathStar> *Selena touches one*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Careful not to touch the fun one.
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Fun one?
<@Seraphna> Talia> Mmhmm.
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Which one is that?
<@Seraphna> Talia> Gwen’s.
<@DeathStar> *Selena points at woman Knight* That one
<@DeathStar> <Selena> That one looks like Gwen's
<@DeathStar> *she is showing a red haired Knight's portrait, wearing what looks to be Gwen's armor. She is next to Gavin's picture*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Rika is her name, I believe. Maybe she knows more about the armor he has now
* Day changed to Wednesday, 15. Oct 2025
<@Seraphna> Talia> Yeah, gonna squeeze her for info.
<@DeathStar> *Gavin works on more drawings, laced with magic*
<@DeathStar> *glancing up at Rika nearby*
<@Seraphna> **Alt poses on Rika’s head**
<@DeathStar> *Gavin blinks and Rika glances up, picking Alt up* <Rika> You're a cute little monster, aren't you
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mew! Gavin should draw us!
<@DeathStar> *Gavin grabs new paper and begins to do so* <Rika> Wasting your magic drawings on such a manner, Gavin. <Gavin> It is fine.
<@Seraphna> Alt> **bes extra cute**
<@DeathStar> *Gavin sketches, his pen and paper glowing as he draws the two onto paper; the Alt and Rika on paper glowing as well as they are created onto paper with a spell tying them to their real life counter parts. He finishes and hands it over, but Rika motions for Alt to take it*
<@DeathStar> <Gavin> I need to prepare for the meetings tomorrow, so I will be busy going over the documents for the rest of the night - join me early in the morning, Rika. *he rises*
* #Geyze created on Fri May 02 15:30:01 2025
<@DeathStar> *Rika sets down a cup of coffee for Alt* So, what brought you to my head, little monster
* Day changed to Saturday, 18. Oct 2025
<Seraphna> Alt> It’s pretty. Also I’m no monster.
<@DeathStar> <Rika> Oh? You certainly have some traits of one. Then what are you?
<Seraphna> Alt> Half Human. **she flicks her tail** This my Kitten form. Kitties are the best animals.
<@DeathStar> <Rika> Interesting. I suppose I should talk to that monster expert up north about you then
<Seraphna> **Alt tilts her head, then hops down to become a sexy Alt** Monster Expert?
<@DeathStar> <Rika> Yes, a while back monsters started appearing and they have been researching them
<Seraphna> Alt> Terra’s our Monster expert. I’m just a kitty. **she nods**
<@DeathStar> <Rika> Oh? When did this Terra become a Monster expert? Lady Autumn has not been around for that long and I was unaware many claimed to follow in her footsteps
<Seraphna> Alt> Natural talent I guess. **smooth Alt, now just don't call Autumn your Grandma**
<Seraphna> Alt> You know G- Autumn?
<Seraphna> *Alt is very smooth**
<@DeathStar> *Rika studies her a bit, her eyes looking a bit cat like for a moment* I do - I have worked with her
<Seraphna> Alt> You like her?
<@DeathStar> <Rika> I would say so
<Seraphna> **Alt nods** How'd you meets?
<@DeathStar> <Rika> We Knights ran into her when dealing with the rise of monsters and that led to my armor being commissioned
<Seraphna> Alt> You only made that armor recently? Seems so intricate!
<@DeathStar> <Rika> It has been a few years, but I thank you
<Seraphna> **Alt leans over curiously, letting her tail sway** She tell you where she's from?
<@DeathStar> <Rika> Hm? She keeps it close to the vest
<Seraphna> **Alt nods**
<@DeathStar> *Rika studies her* Why are you so interested in her, may I ask?
<Seraphna> Alt> She's a friend.
<@DeathStar> *Rika raises an eyebrpw* So you know lady Autumn
<Seraphna> **Alt nods and smiles** I can say with 100% truth that Autumn set us on the path that caused us to be here.
<@DeathStar> *Rika seems to try to discern the meaning behind her words*
<@DeathStar> <Rika> Well, Lady Autumn is currenrly residing in Gradia
<Seraphna> Alt> We can go there?
<@DeathStar> <Rika> Getting out of Greborlg will be difficult unless you are a Knight
<Seraphna> Alt> Does your armor fly?
<@DeathStar> *Rika studies Alt* I suppose you want me to fly you there
* Day changed to Sunday, 19. Oct 2025
<Seraphna> Alt> Was mostly curious!
<@DeathStar> <Rika> I have a flying monster ability yes
<Seraphna> Alt> You copy monster moves?
<@DeathStar> <Rika> That is the power of my armor - to copy or control monsters
<@DeathStar> *she rubs Alt's head, as if seeing she can look into her power*
<Seraphna> **Alt probably comes off as a powerful permanent spell work mixed into
<Seraphna> a human and tainted with… something.**
<@DeathStar> <Rika> Interesting. I have a few hours before morning if you want to go see Autumn. Come.
<Seraphna> Alt> Okays! Bad Girl Squad Assemble!
<@DeathStar> *Wyrd, Heyu and Mirage show up*
<Seraphna> Alt> How is Azif?
<@DeathStar> <Wyrd> Sleeping
<Seraphna> Alt> Auntie tied to her as per Cutie Book Protocol?
<@DeathStar> <Wyrd> Yes
<Seraphna> Alt> We are going on a side quest!
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> I get to eat someone? *Rika eyes her*
<Seraphna> Alt> Only if they’re baddies.
<@DeathStar> *Rika steps outside. Wyrd and Heyu transform into swords for Alt*
<Seraphna> **Alt puts them away and trots along with Rika**
<@DeathStar> *outside a dragon is waiting*
<Seraphna> Alt> Oooo! What’s your name? **she hops on**
<@DeathStar> <Mirage> It's the Knight
<@DeathStar> *they begin to take off*
<Seraphna> Alt> The Knight is an odd Dragon name.
<@DeathStar> *Mirage looks at her*
<@DeathStar> *they begin to leave Greborlg and head out*
<@DeathStar> *soon they are flying over some forests and plains*
<@DeathStar> *and the dragon begins to head down toward the forest*
<Seraphna> Alt> Wheee!
<@DeathStar> *They land in a village of people where Rika transforms back to normal, holding Alt in her hands*
<Seraphna> Alt> Ohhhhh.
<@DeathStar> *Mirage looks at her a bit with a strange look while Rika looks down at her* <Rika> Oh?
<Seraphna> Alt> Silly Mir, The Knight was Rika!
<@DeathStar> *Mirage narrows eyes, like she is plotting how to eat Alt now*
<Seraphna> **Alt pats her head** Okay let’s go see Autumn!
* Alicia (~Home@pres-24-b2-v4wan-161431-cust1803.vm29.cable.virginm.net) has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<@DeathStar> *Rika leads them through the jungle like village toward the back*
<@DeathStar> *Where up ahead, a scantily dressed Autumn can be seen working ove a monster pen. She also seems to have what looks to be something on her back, looking a lot like a cute kid*
* Day changed to Monday, 20. Oct 2025
<Seraphna> **Alt squeaks and hurries over**
<@DeathStar> *Autumn seems to be studying the monsters and taking notes on them; there seems to be cute cat like ones in the pen. She glances up as Alt runs up to her*
<Seraphna> Alt> Hello...!
<@DeathStar> <Autumn> Hello, cute little familiar
<Seraphna> Alt> **smiles** Alita's granddaughter.
<@DeathStar> *Rika looks between the two as they talk*
<@DeathStar> *Autumn blinks, then looks her over more carefully* I see. *she takes Alt's face in her hand, tilting her head left and right* Yes, I can see the resemblence now of Talia
<Seraphna> Alt> She's here too, but back with the others. I was actually there last time with you, but Momma kept me hidden.
<@DeathStar> *Autumn nods* Wise woman. *she shakes some food into the pen that the cat monsters seem to go wild for, then heads for a hut* <Autumn> I am surprised to see you all here. *She glances at Rika, keeping her words careful* After all, it is a bit ... out of your way
<Seraphna> Alt> Oh Rika mentioned you so I asked to see. Umm... sorry Amber couldn't make it. We'd have gotten her along if we knew we were coming.
<@DeathStar> *Autumn folds her hands together, looking thoughtful* How is she doing?
<Seraphna> Alt> Oh, head of the Magi, Princess of the Realm. Not a Triple Princess like me but still doin' good. Wants to meet you one day.
<@DeathStar> *inside the hut is all sorts of strange magi-tech and self-created items that looks like Autumn herself made. She sets the child down in a seat, who appears to be watching Alt intently*
<Seraphna> Alt> Is this my auntie?
<@DeathStar> <Autumn> Well, you never know how the winds blow. *Autumn turns toward the child* You want to lift her up? *she looks to be about a year old*
<Seraphna> **Alt nods and tries** Hello~
<@DeathStar> *the child reaches out and holds onto Alt*
<Seraphna> Alt> So who's the other parent? Rika made it sound like you've been here for years.
<@DeathStar> <Autumn> You are an observant one. *Rika pokes around the place, obviously listening in* I'll speak on such matters later - maybe I will return with you to meet the others
<@DeathStar> *Autumn folds her hands under her chin; as Alt holds the child, she suddenly would be hit with visions of Azif, two of them, and Nyarl - it looks like it is at some point in the future. Her Azif looks to be weak and barely awake, as the other Azif is ripping out pages from her's*
<Seraphna> Alt> They'd like that... ...a vision... Azif's going to be in danger.
<@DeathStar> <Autumn> It sounds bad. People speak of seeing visions of things they want to know sometimes when they hold her. They call her a Magic Seer.
<Seraphna> Alt> I'd want to know, Azif is my Mate.
<@DeathStar> *Autumn nods and brushes the toddler's hair back* Well, your future sounds like it will be difficult then
<Seraphna> Alt> All in the line of work for a Triple Princess.
<@DeathStar> <Autumn> *takes the child back* My little Merlyna. <Rika> The problem also with Seers is that their visions sometimes lead to the problem itself

<Seraphna> Alt> I’ll just be sure to watch out for her then.
<@DeathStar> <Autumn> So where are you all set up then?
<Seraphna> Alt> That place all the Knights meet. For the moment.
<@DeathStar> <Rika> I can take you back with us
<@DeathStar> <Autumn> I'll gather my stuff
