<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki is taking Erica and any one else out on a nice summer day, with Ren going out with Reikana. So far the band as skyrocketed in popularity since Ren's mysterious benefactor bought their contract and let the band do whatever they want venue wise, leading to them going and doing what they want, ehre they want (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* Even leading to them choosing what merchandise they want to do. Yuki leads the group to a nice park area to buy some ice cream and snacks, handing Erica some, while holding Yurica
<Seraphna> * Cookie walks along, buying extra ice cream.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *walks along behind Erica and Yuki*
<Sara> * Erica bites into her ice cream like a weirdo.
* Chaintan has joined #TAW-Session302
<Seraphna> * Cookie gets Pepper an extra scoop.
<DeathStar> *Ren is waving at some fans, having been coy so far on who bought their contract*
<Seraphna> * An'Mi makes peace signs at the fans. The crazy drummer.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper exhales some smoke and smiles at the ice cream, taking a lick.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC walks along with the group, her drawing pad under her arm as she peers around
<Seraphna> Cookie> "If the Aquarius goes on another trip, we totally have to stock up on ice cream this time."
<Xanatos> <Pepper> So, you're super famous here? 6* She asks Ren and Reikana, offering the blunt to Cookie.
<Seraphna> * Cookie takes a drag and coos.
<Seraphna> * An'Mi bounces. "Super cool band. Make lots music."
<DeathStar> *as they walk, they pass a giant holoscreen in the park talking about politics. However, it seems that isn't the biggest story going on. It shows footage of Lev from the court room from months ago*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *takes off her sunglasses and then throws a fist into the air as she stands up, wearing a pleated black skirt as part of 'the look'*
<Seraphna> * An'Mi peers at the screen. "Bad Weapon Boy. Double double cross."
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper eyes the fist, then glances from Cookie to the weed and gives a shrug.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC pauses to peer up at the holoscreen when it begins to mention Lev
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Hm? You know him?
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Was on team. Went very bad.":
<ChadWinters> <SPoc> He worked with a few of our teams before quitting then, becoming a protaginst.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Got to play to the fans."
<DeathStar> *a senator appears* <Senator> While this man was a known terrorist, he brought to light about the dangers of unchecked, secret organizations that have been used by our government for decades now.
<DeathStar> *Ren peers up*
<Sara> * Erica watches, but not with huge interest
<Seraphna> * Cookie puts out the blunt and pocket dimensions it. She sighsa bit. "Oh not this nonsense again."
<DeathStar> <Senator> And with the appearance of this tree and this Geyze and Kumen, with our proper military not being part of the ordeal, but secret military organizations being part of the entire situation, I think the public deserves more clarity of what is going on
<ChadWinters> *As Xan corrected, antagonist*
<Xanatos> ( :) )
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Oooh, they're talking about you all.
<Seraphna> * An'Mi fuuus. "Could swear happened. This whole thing."
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Senator> That is why I am pushing for the organizations to be shut down and rolled up into the military proper. It is time for these shadow organizations having no oversight. My bill will shut down such groups. It is time for our military to have proper oversight as is proper
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps we should move along. This is dragging down the collective mood of our outting, captain."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Translation: He's probably dirty and wants the guards out of the way while he plunders the vaults."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *puts her hands behind her head* Yeah. That is true. *the news moves on talking about Hale and other new Senators running*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> That is doubtful. Most people do not like clandestine programs that are unchecked doing things in their name
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> As unfortunate as it is for us, it is a proper reaction considering
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Back on Kumen the corps did loads of sneaky shit and it was never good. When Cypher and Asarar brought most of that to the light the people were happier for it.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It might be that the days of what mother and Warren began is coming to an end
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I'm sure it will for awhile before it happens again.
<Seraphna> * Cookie hmms. "I guess it has been nice that we've acted openly and on behalf of Kumen."
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Hope fallout good. Not bad. Maybe friends help?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *pats An'Mi* From what I've been reading, I think this has been brewing for a while
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Hey, let's go do something."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Reikana is right
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Lets go
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> (Well Scene Shift)
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze, same time)
<DeathStar> 6* The Academy group has spent 3 months looking into the Daemon Queen's death and has ruled that it was likely murder, by poison. There has been little leads so far, but they are keeping the case open. Shinobu has not returned to the Academy however
<DeathStar> 6* Joining the Royals group, who are setting up their own location meanwhile
<Seraphna> * Alita has kept the Mages academy going and concentrated on her studies, having her husband around less often as he's got obligations in two places now.
<DeathStar> 6* The Alliance Building seems to have been finished and a meeting is taking place soon. Sasha has been asked to attend and the Alliance seems to be gathering a lot of people. The Academy seems to have grown up nicely and is thriving in general these days
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *is currently wokring in her office*
<Seraphna> * Alita if finishing a lecture on Mana Flows and tapping oneself before taking from the world around.
<DeathStar> 6* The Alliance is filling up with members and taking seats
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn sits and waits in the Alliance building, trying to be more helpful as of late*
<DeathStar> *A few of the public is waiting to see the first offical Alliance meeting now that the building is finished. Hapes is there as the Alliance offical and takes a seat, and Qui and Kalam arrive, deciding to attend themselves until they get officals*
<DeathStar> *as does Shinobu*
<Seraphna> * Alita dismisses the class, then heads over to the meeting, since she has pull to be there as she's related to the Legion and Daemon Royalty now.
<Seraphna> * Talia hops into Shinobu's lap as a kitten.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps in and sits down, only really being an associate and not a full fledged member, but wanting to keep in the loop nontheless.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *sets down her pen and rubs her eyes before rising, heading to be present at the Alliance meeting*
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel arrives with Shinobu, been bouncing back and forth a lot to help Shinobu behind the scenes as well as keeping Alita and Ceilia happy with visits and spending time with the little ones*
<DeathStar> *Shinobu peers at Talia, then at the time, then at the others. As the last of the officals, or leaders, arrive, minus Sasha who is late, a surprise person arrives. Shion
<DeathStar> *Shion takes the head of the table and sits down*
<Seraphna> * Talia waves to Shion, or rather, paws, then looks up at Shinobu. "Hello, Talia misses!"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *enters the Alliance building*
<Seraphna> * Alita moves over to join Mykel and Shinobu, waving to Hapes.
<DeathStar> *Shinobu gives Talia a look* This is an offical meeting. You are not allowed to talk until questions time. *she seems harder*
<DeathStar> <Shion> I call to order the first offical meeting for the Alliance
<Seraphna> * Talia's ears fold back and she sits quietly in Shinobu's lap. Though they all know that means she won't shut up during question time.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a brow as she takes a seat*
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she takes some papers* The Alliance has decided on a few things. With the Academy deciding to push for longer teaching periods for their students, like Earth schools, the Alliance has been debating what to do with the Units that have been formed previously
<DeathStar> <Shion> The Academy with longer teaching periods can now teach longer, more extensive lesson plans. Meaning students from the Academy can go on to do any one job. So the Alliance believes the previous units are no longer needed for their previous function
<Seraphna> * Alita tilts her head, seeing a small gap in that.
<DeathStar> <Shion> They will instead be assigned as Peacekeeping forces all over Geyze and Kumen. We will speak with the units and see where they are best suited to be assigned
<DeathStar> <Shion> They will protect their assigned location much like police do for Earth
<DeathStar> <Shion> Any future classes in five years can choose to become a Peacekeeper as well if they so wish
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes in a deep breath*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Or continue to serve the Academy
<Seraphna> * Alita nods, peering over at Sasha.
<DeathStar> <Shion> As teachers, and so on
<Xanatos> <Simon> Who do the Peacekeepers report to?
<DeathStar> *Shion holds up a hand to Simon*
<DeathStar> <Shion> The second agenda. The Magi children and the Magi adults that were saved long ago. Despite certain groups in the Alliance, they wish to return to their homeland and restore it
<DeathStar> <Shion> The majority agree and so the Magi will be returning to the Magi Tower to restore it and teach a new generation of Magi. They will of course become part of the Academy as well
<Seraphna> * Alita tilts her head a bit. "Will they be discussing the new curriculum?"
<DeathStar> *Shion holds up a hand again*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Thirdly, with the Earth technology, we have finally figured out how to add hyperspace tech to our ships and begun conversion. Any ship that wishes faster space travel may see the Alliance to get hyperspace drives installed now
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she sits down* Simon, your question, then Alita
<DeathStar> <Shion> Who do the Peacekeepers report to
<Xanatos> 6* Simon clasps his fingers in front of his face, leaning forward on his elbows to wait for the answer.
<DeathStar> <Shion> They report to the Alliance, as well as the provience they patrol. They answer to the the laws in that area, but they also report to the Alliance and follow the over all Alliance laws that were agreed to
<Seraphna> * Alita takes notes, musing.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods a few times before he leans back and pulls out his notepad, also writing that down, as well as touching up some of his other notes
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she turns to Alita* I am sure the Magi will release that eventually. For now I think they are more interested in repairs and restoring their village
* kalonZombie has joined #TAW-Session302
<DeathStar> *Shion peers out* You have to realize, the Alliance needs to prepare - we are in a precarious position. We in an universe we do not understand. That is why they chose me to lead the Alliance.
<Seraphna> Alita> "They couldn't have chosen better, in my opinion."
<DeathStar> <Shion> I will do the best I can for you all. The Academy cannot be the force it was before - it needs to be a teaching place and a place where people can go to for learning, and gathering
<DeathStar> <Shion> But I still will work with the Academy
<Xanatos> <Simon> I am glad to see your return, even if in another capacity. 6 * He says with a nod.
<DeathStar> *Shion turns to Sasha* Do you have any questions?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "If anything comes up, we cna discuss it on an as needed basis as we foillow through this transiiton."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia is totally there, and has been the whole time
<DeathStar> *Shion rises* With the teleporters, Geyze and Kumen are now more connected than ever. I will see about where the Peacekeeper forces will be sent. *she peers at Alita, Ellie, and the rest*
<DeathStar> <Shion> If you all wish to keep teaching, I will understand, but if you wish to become part of the Alliance and a Peacekeeper, let me know
<DeathStar> *She steps out with the other Alliance members*
<Seraphna> * Alita sits back, musing, she looks at Mykel and Shinobu, as Talia takes her change to hug onto Shinobu. "Missed!"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon rises and bows slightly in greeting to the other academy members before turning to step out, moving to have a conversation with Shion about how he can assist.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *presses her hands on the table and then rises*
<DeathStar> *Shinobu pats Talia* If you really miss me, you can always join me and my new group *She notes*
<DeathStar> *Shion nods to Simon as she goes, waving a hand as she goes* Sure, follow me
<DeathStar> *Sylph peers at Ellie, then tilts her head left, then right*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...I need a drink." *turns and leaves the meeting room, heading back for her office*
<DeathStar> *Kito and Rain are talking, Rain looking a bit heated*
<Seraphna> Talia> "Talia has to be with Mistress... but... maybe Mistress joins?"
<Sara> * Ellie tilts her head in time with Sylph
<Seraphna> Alita> "The house is feeling empty without Shinobu and Mykel only here to visit."
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> *shrugs* They are welcome. But I doubt I will becoming back
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> At least until I am done
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Sis, I've offered to use that particular potion I brewed to fill the house up with another baby, but you keep refusing me.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Of course, you have a Kingdom to rule now."
<Seraphna> * Alita tickles Ceilia's side.
<DeathStar> *Shinobu heads off to teleport*
<Seraphna> * Alita sighs softly.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> So what is Ellie thinking?
<DeathStar> *Sylph pokes fingers* Because Sylph goes where Ellie goes
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia giggles and then kisses Alita's cheek
<Xanatos> 6* Simon discusses his current journey of self discover but explains his connection with Celcius and how he coudl easily teleport to them to assist on field missions.
<Xanatos> (discovery)
<Seraphna> Alita> "Perhaps we should follow the family... though there's so much left to teach..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *walks past the pair and pulls out a bottle and pours herself a drink before finally speaking* "...and what is all this now?"
<DeathStar> <Rain> Discussing how the Alliance is leeching off our people.
<DeathStar> <Rain>
<DeathStar> <Rain> Maybe I should pull some strings to see if I could get some of the peacekeepers to be assigned here
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "See what you can do." *sits in her chair* "I feel like I've been blindsided."
<DeathStar> <Rain> The Academy/Alliance is an imporant spot, I'm sure Shion would agree
<DeathStar> *Rain heads off*
<Sara> <Ellie> ...I don't really know.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> You could run off with me!
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks at Kito* "What do you think, Kito?"
<Sara> <Ellie> I don't know where we would go. Granted, I have it a bit easier, since I can technically commute back and forth with your help if I want to keep teaching, but...
<DeathStar> <Kito> *taps finger* Hm. I suppose I would not mind if Shion put Peacekeepers we knew here.
<DeathStar> <Kito> Maybe let them teach too if they want.
<DeathStar> <Kito> But I imagine we might also get a lot of new Peacekeepers too
<DeathStar> *Sylph hugs*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The academy's goal is to unite and elevate both Geyze and Kumen." *holds up her glass and looks through it*
<DeathStar> <Kito> Well, I suppose you have done that
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP_
<DeathStar> Date: 10-638.7.1 / 2.1.5995
<DeathStar> Location: Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* The holovid shows Stacey going through what looks questioning by several senators about secret military groups and oversights. Meanwhile, on other shows, Dias can be seen, looking super professional these days, campaigning for sentors, some very hawkish about abolishing secret military groups and being forthright about organizing the military
<DeathStar> *it seems Dias has realized how the ill wind is blowing*
<DeathStar> *Even Hale and Peter is getting grilled about their thoughts in their campaigning*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus watches the holovid with a squint, a supsicious look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *rubs her forehead as she sits in her office with Cheryl gone these dayS*
<Xanatos> (suspicious)
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Good thing Cheryl is gone so I can ignore these summons
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps in and places a tea on Lemon's desk, being fairly terrible at it but getting better.
<DeathStar> *Jenny is sulking about Adeline being gone*
* ChadWinters glances down from the holovid feeds, it seem's he's been spending less time on the base, with most of his stuff in his rooms down to bare minimum. 1"It was only a matter of time before this happened again."
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly hoists his bag as he walks by* Yeah, but is ignoring it the best idea?
<Seraphna> Angela> "We should probably make a move, go public somehow."
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Perhaps slowly.
<DeathStar> *Taiga sneaks up on Erica and pulls her and Yuki close*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hey girls
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. Going public...
<DeathStar> *Ren is eyeing her datapad at messages*
<DeathStar> *Ren bounces and heads off*
<ChadWinters> There would be no slowly with it. The moment the team went public, it'd be pulled in to the publics view instantly
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Chad is right
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ren, where are you going?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> My boss needs me. You know, the guy who is helping our band?
<DeathStar> <Ren> *spins her paintbrush and heads off*
<ChadWinters> If you wanted this team to stay together doing the same thing, it'd be best to start getting in as many senator's graces as possible.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I don't like it. We work in the shadows to keep other shadowy fucks at bay.
<Sara> * Erica watches Ren go
<Seraphna> Angela> "We have the benefit of friends running..."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...huh..."
<Sara> <Erica> ...I wonder what she's gotten into. *she notes out loud, with Taiga being able to hear of course*
<ChadWinters> Two people aren't a majority, Angela.
<DeathStar> *Taiga watches her go* I wish I knew. I can't hack her datapad
<Seraphna> * Angela tilts her head. "I'm half tempted to get in the game myself. Former Presidents going back into Senator work tend to have an easy ride."
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> It is with three people.
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na stares at Angela
* ChadWinters glances at Marcus. 1"That's always an option, but that also puts a bullseye on everyone's back.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <No.>
<Seraphna> * Angela pouts.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You are assuming those three will win. If they go against the secret organizations
<DeathStar> <Lemon> The public will not vote for them
<Xanatos> <Kane> If your connections to this group came to light you would lose, Angela.
<ChadWinters> Lemon's correct. It'd be career suicide right now to stand against it.
<Seraphna> * Angela sits back and sighs. "We could always just screw off and go to some vacation world, retire and let them burn themselves down."
<Sara> <Erica> You'd think saving the world would win the popular vote on its own.
<Sara> * Erica scoffs
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> As long as you take me with you, dear.
* ChadWinters glances at Erica. 1"That's not how it works."
<Seraphna> * Angela nods to the screen. "Sullivan seems to be playing to the interests of the whole."
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Why don't y'all just find someone that you're already in good with but these Senators don't know have a connection to to run for this presidency.
<Seraphna> * Peter indeed seems to be for it, in fact, preaching a full review of the military and putting these groups to the interest of the people.
<DeathStar> *the people just nod and keep asking the same question*
<DeathStar> *refusing to let him slip away*
<ChadWinters> The President only has so much power. The senate still decides by majority. Dias has already caught on to the game it appears.
<DeathStar> *likely wanting him to say yes or no*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty balanced a waterbottle a top Taiga's head while she fiddles with her hoody
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale also answers around the question, a common tactic
<Seraphna> * Peter winningly sighs and nods. "Of course, I agree. Yes."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hm. Dias caught on. Yes.
<DeathStar> *Hale would later would see his face in ads about how Hale can't answer the question*
<ChadWinters> Stacey. 6He notes to Marcus
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hi Kitty. OH yeah! Erica!
<Sara> <Erica> What's up?
<ChadWinters> That and with his superhero complex, being in the light in front of all to see is right up his ally.
<ChadWinters> *alley*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Wannnnna give me your ship and go on a space adventure?!
<DeathStar> *Taiga pulls Yashna out*
<Seraphna> * Cookie peeks out of a side room. "Are we going on an adventure? Please?"
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "...excuse me?"
<Xanatos> <Pepper> ADVENTURE!?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It might take me a few months to prepare but we're going to defeat the big bads who have taken over the other races
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus just nods once, mumbling to himself.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Anywhere but this planet that's slowly becoming crazy again!?"
<Sara> <Erica> ...Look, I'll take you on an adventure if you really want, but it's my ship, y'know? I've been through hell to keep that thing intact.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll put hyperspace engines on your ship
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks cute*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> SHAPESHIFTERS, ERICA.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Aunt Taiga, your mother in law, is an amazing inventor mechanic."
<Sara> <Erica> You mean on *your* ship, if I agreed. *her eyes narrow*
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *tries to keep her composure* "I would gladly accept any assistance you can render."
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper ooohs at the narrowed eyes.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, I'll be like, you know
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Third captain after you two
<DeathStar> *Taiga pulls Kitty*
<Sara> * Erica facepalms
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Fourth. 6* She points to herself.
<DeathStar> <TAiga> And Kitty can be fourth captain
<ChadWinters> But ultimately, everyone will have to decide how we want to move forward with this team.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper narrows her eyes now and mouth fourth and points to herself.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I-I think mom is dragging us into her hijinks
<Seraphna> Cookie> "As Ship Doctor I still have power over you all."
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty makes a sour face but resigns herself to her fate, throwing an arm around Taiga
<Xanatos> <Kane> What would Cheryl do?
<Sara> <Erica> Look, if you want to upgrade my ship, that's fine. But if you try to take it away from me, I'mma fight you. Savvy?
<Sara> * She wiggles eyebrows
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly goes to stand behind Erica* Hey, get me outta here already...these people are way too serious.
<Seraphna> * Si tackles Taiga. "ARE WE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE? I'LL BRING GOR!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It'll be like old times!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> With my daughter!
<DeathStar> *Taiga mushes her face against Yuki*
<DeathStar> *then oofs at Si*
<Seraphna> * Si mushes her face against them both. "Adventurrrre!"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> O-Oh god, is this one of this old people things?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> youre lucky I'm only doing it to get into you pa---- 6*is stopped via Si-tackle*
* ChadWinters glances over at Kane. 1"Depends on our ultimate goal."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Where you take your kid and relive your past?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Our? 6* He regards Chad curiously
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Well, they do look... younger than when we left, Yu Yu."
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor feels a dread coming on, like his third retirement is going to get cut short
<DeathStar> <Yuki> True
<DeathStar> *Lemon peers back and forth*
<Seraphna> Angela> "Lem, I think our staff is shrinking again."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well if we're about to outted from the closet
<DeathStar> <Lemon> It might be good
<ChadWinters> Last I checked, I'm still part of this group. 6He looks over at Kane.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "I still say we all retire."
<Seraphna> Lisa> "We can't be fired if we already retired."
<DeathStar> *Darien reads a magazine in the corner, making Kaori run laps*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Capttain, perhaps we should show our guests around the Aquarius."
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, sure.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> YEAH. 6* She runs for the Aquarius.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Onward! To the ship! I'll get it up and running in no time
<Chaintan> 6*Hess presses Darien's chair down with her foot so he's looking up at her
<Chaintan> <Hess> whats with the regime?
<Seraphna> * Cookie follows Pepper.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *peers up* Checking to see if she's stronger since getting Inari's power. She seems to be in better shape than most people
<Xanatos> <Kane> If we go public then my survival comes to light. 6* he muses.
<Seraphna> Si> <Fuuu! Get the bags packed, smuggle the other wives on board!>
<Seraphna> Angela> "I'
<Sara> * It's ironic, because Kaori still has her pudginess despite all the extra training she's been through
<DeathStar> *Darien holds a can to Kaori* Crush this for me
<Seraphna> Angela> "I'd say I'd just retire, but we all know I won't."
<Sara> * Kaori puts a foxhole in the middle of the can
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Whatever, let's go public, hell let's have a press conference and explain how a jagoff fucked us all over and we stopped him.
<DeathStar> *Darien blinks* That works
<Chaintan> <Hess> youre lucky I dont show you the trick I can do with my thighs old man
<Sara> * Kaori reddens, awkwardly enough
<DeathStar> *Darien pushes up his glasses* I---
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "I personally agree. If we oust ourselves we will end up standing above any groups dragged out of the dark."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Very well. Kaori, there is nothing more I can teach or test you
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I need to hit the town." *walks out*
<DeathStar> *Darien rises*
<ChadWinters> If that's the decision, then I'll need some time before I can join up with you again.
<Chaintan> <Hess> the watermelon trick Kaokao
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Then the narrative is that we chose to make ourselves known, harder for us to be labelled as shady then. Guilty people do not come clean."
<DeathStar> *Yuki watches Reikana go and peers at the others as they head for the ship* I hope Ren joins us but Ren has been acting odd lately
<Sara> <Kaori> Y-Yeah.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Getting art lessons from her benefactor and all that
<Seraphna> * Tabetha muses. "Perhaps we should use our current organization to let people choose."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "A Special Unit and a Shadow Unit."
<DeathStar> *Lemon lets out a breath*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Those that do not wish to go public stay in reserve."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Give me some time to decide
<Seraphna> * Tabetha nods.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I am not thrilled at the idea
<Jackieness> <Airym> "My observation has been that Reikana will typically go wherever her friend Ren goes."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess trots over to Kaori and gives her a peck
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *rises and walks off*
<ChadWinters> You forget that the majority of people have public lifes Tabetha.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "I do not believe there is any aspect of this in which we will all be thrilled though."
<Sara> * Kaori blushes and attempts counter-peck
<Xanatos> 6* Kane watches her go, a look of sympathy in his eyes.
<Seraphna> * Angela sighs. "Yeah, though you don't Chad. In fact aren't you still legally dead?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I already got my death fixed, boy was that a chore. 6* He turns and moves to go find a drink, sending stacey a message to ask how things are going.
<ChadWinters> Yes. 6He crosses his arms. 1"One thing I will note, is that if this group stays in the shadows, Lev will make sure we're hunted."
<Seraphna> * Angelos walks in, wearing sunglasses, probably back from a trip to Cran's corporation. "What'd I miss?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> If we come out of the shadows
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're hunted just the same
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-638.11.1 / 2.1.5996
<DeathStar> Location: Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* On the news, it looks like with some comments from Dias now and again, the senators that are running that are supporting the bill and the senator that wants an overall of the military is going to win in a month's time. With this looming and grilling and searching, it's clear time is running out.
<kalonZombie> 6*Even Hale caved after the first ad and gave a definite "yes"
<DeathStar> *Darien has volunteered to talk before the tribunal, being one of those that started the group long ago, letting Lemon have time to monitor things, while meanwhile the Aquarius is finished being overhauled*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Let's go. Let's go. Let's fucking goooooo. 6* She chants from behind her console.
<DeathStar> *Ren is on the couch, messing with her datapad and writing some songs, while Taiga is on the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The hyperspace engines will not run at the same time as the spirit engines
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I've stocked the stores with sooooo much ice cream."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But it will run with the ship
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *flops on the couch next to Ren*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey
<Seraphna> * An'Mi flops on Ren and fuus.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *is at her console, monitoring the integration of ship systems*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty listens as she pets her sprites
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Hey... sooooo... what's up?"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole is mostly oblivious to the goings ons. Just waiting for missions to come in.
<Seraphna> * Si has set up a place for herself, Gor, and possibly the other two wives on the Aquarius for more adventures.
<DeathStar> *Darien winces at some questions and has to admit some times they messed up, but points at times in the past they were forced on the run due to a corrupt EarthGov in TAW4*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane muses, having offered his opinion only if Lemon asks, but mostly just being there to be supportive to Lemon.
<DeathStar> *a hand lands on KittY*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Kane.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes?
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty looks up
<Seraphna> * Angela watches, sitting back and musing over the future.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> This will not end well, even with Darien pointing out our track record. And frankly, the people might be right
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes indeed.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We probably do oversight. But once they know about this base, the mansion is likely forfeit and all the tech here
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I want you to start moving all of it to a location only you and I know about. Just in case
<Sara> * Erica lazes in her chair on the Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Lemon> The important stuff, like books from the mansion, family momentos
<DeathStar> <Lemon> And the tech
<DeathStar> *Lorelei waves at Kitty*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes ma'am. 6* He rises and moves over to kiss her cheek.
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *steps on to the bridge and walks over to the captain's chair* "I want to express my gratitude for this, captain Erica."
<Seraphna> * Angela peers up at the old house and sighs, figuring the same as Lemon. "Cheryl's gonna be so pissed."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei looks rougher her hair much longer due to the time on the tree*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ren?"
* ChadWinters eyes the lone monitor in his room, watching Darien doing his work
<DeathStar> *Ren thinks* Well, been running some errands for my boss, and writing songs. Was taught a few techniques
<Chaintan> <Kitty> heya Lore
<DeathStar> <Ren> Overall, been busy
<Xanatos> <Kane> Later we can discuss some of my theories. Wild theories likely but perhaps between the two of us we'll figure out some potential avenues of investigation. 6* He turns and moves off.
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, well... I'm president of an influential company back on Kumen, but over in Kumen even the slums are dead now... and Yu deserved her chance to come home.
<DeathStar> *Darien scores some points, but at best it's a draw*
<Sara> <Erica> So I guess this is just my place right now, and as a result it just makes sense. Still my ship, though. *she notes matter-of-factly*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ha ha ha, we're so fucked. 6* He says in the lounge, watching Darien.
<DeathStar> *Mireille goes over the new tech and registrers it*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Can I ask you all for a big favor?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Here I thought you enjoyed being done so. 6She peeks over her painting to look at Marcus
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Sooooo... when are you going to share the big secret?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *winces* I don't think many would approve it
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fuck can be used to mean many different things.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei peers at Erica and the others. Taiga shrugs, peering at Erica*
<Sara> * Erica tilts her head
<Chaintan> <Kitty> sure
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *glance sat Ren* "...its not Xevil, is it? My grandmother blames everything on Xevil."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "This ship is home, far as I consider. We'll always come back. Spent plenty of time with my Moms, Sky, Lisa and Maddie."
<ChadWinters> 6Cel has been slowly moving her stuff on to the aquarius as time's allowed
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I see. This is the uncomfortable kind for you then."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Not Xevil
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The kids are almost done training on Yggdrasil. And we discovered something during it. We could use a ride into space with you all.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> For you as well, we could go to jail over this.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> HA, I knew she was going to ask to be on the ship.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Wow. All those kids... are they still kids?"
<Sara> <Erica> So, what, a ride to Yggdrasil?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Oh, not all of them are kids
<Seraphna> Cookie> "It has to have been YEARS there. Like lots. Not that you look a day older Lore. How do you DO that?"
<Chaintan> <Kitty>....are we just a bus service?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hey. You all are going to various worlds. We just want a ride. You see.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC tilts her head a bit. 1"Yes, I suppose so. I do have many instances that could add time to my sentence."
<Sara> <Erica> Nonetheless, may I just say again that it's nice to have you back, Kitty.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Wait, how many of them are going through puberty?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The 13 gods? They've been reborn
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> In various bodies.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> ".....soooo...when aree you going to let me in on the secret?"
<Sara> <Erica> Whatever that means. *she notes about the '13 gods' thing* ...Yuki, set course for Yggdrasil
<DeathStar> *Ren lets out a breath and takes Reikana's hand* Come with me
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...all those murders you've commited.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty shrugs
<Seraphna> * Si blinks and looks over. "Huh? The Gods? Like those ones from that planet in the far future?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei pulls out a picture* Yes. Only now.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "OK." *goes with Ren*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> ...you know that God term is thrown around a lot by you all.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I mean I cant exactly say no so yeah guess we'll take you all
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Are they still all assholes or?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Unfortunately I can only recall one.
<Seraphna> * Angelos appears by Lore, eyes flaring.
<Seraphna> ANgelos> "...Angelus is back?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei says a picture of a big blocky Tsivrixsh* This is apparantly Gartareh now
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *shows a picture of a beautiful Cartel woman* And one of the female gods
<Seraphna> * Angelos eyes that one up and down for just a moment.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Apparantly they're being reborn and taking over host bodies
<Sara> * Erica goes through getting the ship ready for departure while Lorelei talks
<Seraphna> Angelos> "If my brother is back, I'm with you. I need a day or so to prepare and get the kids ready."
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Angelos. You're married. And have kids. With my mother.
<Seraphna> * Angelos' eyes flare again a moment. This is apparently the core of his psychosis speaking.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is getting more complicated. *turns to Yashna* It might take a bit longer before we launch after all
<Sara> <Erica> Sheesh.
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Of course."
<DeathStar> -Final Time Jump-
<DeathStar> Date: 6.30.5996 and whatever date that would be for Prime Time
<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Capital
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis over the past few years has settled quite a bit in the Hapian Castle, with her secondary home right next to it. Letting Lenneth and the others have it. She spends a lot of time working with Celes and Liana these days
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks along in her kimono, joining Celes, Liana, Shinobu and anyone else who has joined the Royald family while in the delayed communications talks about the elections being wrapped up for Earth*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Wonder if this earth stuff will affect us out here at all?
<DeathStar> *talking about how the new senators are now voting to end the military shadow organizations and roll it*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is hard to say. *She sits at a table, going through ancient paperwork. There is a drawing that looks like Ama*
<DeathStar> *looking bit like Aska*
<Sara> <Liana> They're our neighbors, so it -is- bound to effect us, in some way or another...
<Seraphna> * Jaime shrugs. "Maybe, maybe not. We're technically outside their territory now."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah, you're probably right. Just affecting Cheryl's group alone will affect us, since we normally rely on them for Earth related stuff.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *she takes note of it - Ama and Aska in the Mirror Universe before they were brought over*
<Seraphna> * Jaime sighs a bit. "Well generally any time Earth's government starts moving against our friends, it's never been a good thing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> From what I can tell about the First Ones and legends, it seems that Spirits and our Gods might have links
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We should probably begin there in our search
<DeathStar> *Shinobu rises to look for an equivalent in the Dark Realm*
<DeathStar> -SCENE HOP-
<DeathStar> Location: The Alliance/Acaemy
<DeathStar> 6* Shion, wearing the Alliance badge on her shirt, has a box delivered, from on Kumen abandoned
<DeathStar> <Shion> Becareful with it
<Seraphna> Alita> "What... is it?"
<Sara> * Chelsea peers curiously
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> A bomb?
<Sara> <Chelsea> A bomb. *deadpan*
<Sara> * She isn't serious
<DeathStar> *Cypher stands with Shion, in a peacekeeper uniform. Shion glances at Alita, surprised at the two remaining with her to this day, and not joining Shinobu in the Royals, but not turning them down*
<DeathStar> *Athena leans in*
<DeathStar> <Athena> I bet .... it's food?
<DeathStar> *Athena wiggles left, then right*
<DeathStar> *Athena forms her cystal sword and opens the box and inside is Bix, more complete than the future one, but still ... Bix*
<Seraphna> * Alita seems to still be transitioning, slowly moving the household to Shinobu.
<Xanatos> <Bix> HELLO! Brigadoon 9 = Bix = Happy to See you!!!
<DeathStar> <Shion> He was found in the slums, abandoned
<Seraphna> * Jennifer blinks. "It's a... a robot boy?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Bix?
<Sara> * Her ears twitch
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "It certainly is cheerful. Or he... wait, what do you prefer, Bix?"
<Xanatos> <Bix> Greetings Friend > Of Past.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Prefer? 6* He looks confused, climbing out of the crate and hopping down with his arms out in a pose.
<DeathStar> <Shion> You know him?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Like how do you self-identify? Male? Female? Robot? Attack spaceship?
<Xanatos> <Bix> Bix!
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Fair enough I suppose.
<Sara> <Chelsea> In a manner of speaking, I knew Bix... but it was a different time.
<DeathStar> *Shion lets out a breath and informs Sasha*
<DeathStar> <Shion> She might want him for all I know
<Seraphna> Alita> "She does like to take in new ones."
<Seraphna> ALita> "Anyway... I have to deliver my proposed curriculum, then go rejoin the others."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *comm* "Do you wish to enroll this foundling, shion?"
<DeathStar> <Shion on comm* Up to you. He's a strange on
<Xanatos> <Bix> Where? Ruhi/Cheri/Nell/LJ/Selena/Tenebrae!?
<DeathStar> *Sylph peeks in, with a tiny Sylph/Ellie with her*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Huh.
<Seraphna> * Alita blinks. "Selena is at Hapian..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *comm* "I do not see why not."
<Sara> * Ellie wanders up after Sylph, sluggish today
<DeathStar> <Shion> I believe Selena is having a birthday party right now for her little sister
<DeathStar> <Shion> Today is her birthday
<Sara> <Ellie> Oh, for Princess Luna?
<DeathStar> <Shion> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Birthday! Celebration of ones birth!
<Seraphna> Alita> "Nell and Ruhi are on Kumen, I believe. Nell is Luci's and Ruhi is President Rikki's."
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she peers up where the Aquarius can be seen*
<Sara> <Ellie> I think Chelsea's Cherie is being taken care of by her Familiar on the Mew Mew
<Xanatos> 6* Bix salutes and turns to march off to Selena's birthday, but pauses and looks around confused.
<DeathStar> *preparing to take off*
<Xanatos> <Bix> Unknown location.
<DeathStar> *Shion points to teleporter*
<DeathStar> <Shion> That way
<Xanatos> 6* Bix chirps and salutes again then marches to the teleporter, dooting a little marching song.
<DeathStar> -Final Jump-
<DeathStar> 6* The kids, and I'll do the math later are all on the ship, not having stayed as long as Selena will after the birthday party.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, all my kids are on
<Xanatos> <Pepper> God they're right in the teen angst age.
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Yuki are strapped in. Ren sends a message about joining the ship later
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Some are late teens
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Thank you
<Sara> <Erica> Whatever, I'm used to babysitting. We had an entire ship full of refugees once.
<Seraphna> * Cookie and Si are strapped in.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Teens are teens. They'll start fucking and fighting about it. Gross.
<DeathStar> *Kretrav and Shre'trav have joined the crew at some point*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt seem's to be hurding them around, having put on muscle mass and definition from all the training.
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor is strapped in, sighing
<Seraphna> * Camilla sits with Kretrav.
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Just once I want to retire from adventuring and mean it.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Man. Gor is a buzzkill
<DeathStar> *Taiga sips a a fruity drink*
<Seraphna> * Si rubs his ear. "Shhhh."
<DeathStar> *Yuki powers up the hyperspace drive*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Ready, Erica?
<Sara> <Erica> It's okay, he's saved the universe at least twice by now, by my reckoning. *she isn't even counting, but she gives her senior officers credit after all*
<Sara> <Erica> Aye, aye. Engage!
<DeathStar> *Yuki jumps the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> -END-
