* Orthogon has joined #TAW-Session304
<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.3.3 / 5.7.5997
<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Castle
<DeathStar> 6* Celes walks with Erevis and Xanatos, leading to an area of the castle that has been being reconstructed
<DeathStar> <Celes> We have finished the reconstruction and wanted to show it to you first
<Xanatos> 6* Xan walks with his hands in his pockets, peering around as they move.
<Seraphna> * Jaime peers around, ever the tag along of late.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Us first? That's nice.
<DeathStar> *Celes opens an area with a teleporter set up, a large massive room with an ancient library full of books from all the kingdoms brought in, a large meeting room table. Side rooms have been added for people for projects and research, and more. It seems to be their own private head quarters in the castle
<Sara> * Liana does a 'ta-da' type gesture
<Xanatos> <Xan> Wow...that's...a lot of books.
<DeathStar> *Shinobu is at a booksheld, going through a book deadpanned*
<Seraphna> Jaime> "It's like... a secret base?"
<Seraphna> * Alita sits with Shinobu, in heaven. This is heaven right?
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia looks around at the books in awe
<DeathStar> <Celes> Not that secret. Some word has gotten out about our interest in the lineage and ancient history of Geyze and the Spirits. So we invited those interested in joining. We will be going through the applications of those who wish to join
<DeathStar> <Celes> To weed our any spies
<Seraphna> Jaime> "Should be... interesting."
<DeathStar> 6* A 15 year old is there as well, with her back to them. She is wearing a Hapian gown, but as far as Xan and Erevis has been there, she has not been present so far and looks new, though she looks a lot like Liana and Celes
<Sara> <Liana> It takes a lot of reading, along with adventure
<Sara> <Liana> To uncover something like this
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel sits to one side in garb appropriate for the Daemon Lord-Consort*
<Sara> <Liana> ...So we have lots of books!
<DeathStar> *Erevis moves to run her hand along the meeting table and smiles softly* It seems you are working hard
<Seraphna> Alita> "The complete works of Liana's grandfather are in here, even the rare book about him fighting a flying whale!" *she looks up from it*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Would you be terribly offended if I brought in some of our tech? I think it would help organize our plans.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Feel free.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Cool, and I have a shuttle that we can use to fly from location to location. I'll use it to bring the tech in.
<DeathStar> *Celes sits down and brings an application out* So far we only have one person wishing to join.
<Sara> <Liana> Someday more people will understand the value of adventure
<Xanatos> 6* Xan rubs his chin, not even beginning to understand how information is shared around here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> "B-Besides those here of course?"
<DeathStar> *Celes peers up at Xan, amused* Once joined Mykel joinen years ago they joined
<DeathStar> *Shinobu sits in a chair, reading silently*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia finds a book about magic and starts to read it
<DeathStar> *The teenager seems to be reading her own book, face scrunched up - a book on etiquette
<Seraphna> * Talia crawls in Shinobu's lap to read with her.
<DeathStar> *it seems she's doing homework*
<Xanatos> (DS, can you clarify that Celes line?)
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, what sort of applicant do we have here?
<DeathStar> *Celes pulls out a piece of paper, wiggling it at Xan, then sets it on the table*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Lets see. After the Academy began to open up other schools, this applicant joined the drama school I think. Her name is Imogen - a fox fauna. It doesn't say if she graduated or not since I know the Academy does 4 year courses now.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan slides over to peer down at the piece of paper, peering over the application slowly.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Did she supply any recommendations or references?
<DeathStar> <Celes> No. She was pour. Apparantly she has a mask she says was made by the spirits and wants to learn more about it. I never heard of such - and she is mute
<Sara> * Liana raises an eyebrow
<Xanatos> 6* Xan rubs his neck slowly, glancing up to Erevis, curious about her take.
<Seraphna> Jaime> "So a mute Fox Fauna obsessed with spirits and a mask?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis shrugs, still learning about this world* I am still learning about spirits. Aska has been teaching me but I never heard of them making things like this
<Seraphna> * Jaime fidgets, having been trying to learn herself, always looking to find her talent.
<DeathStar> *the teenager walks around in the background with a book on her head, bored*
<Sara> <Liana> Honey, didn't we do the book-balancing ages ago?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Either way, the Alliance snaps up so many people I think we should take her
<Xanatos> <Xan> Is that...her, or another new recruit? 6* He points to the teenager.
<DeathStar> <Teenager> Reading the book is boring
<Sara> * Liana frowns, but then glances at Celes. "Teenagers, huh?" she murmurs
<DeathStar> <Celes> That is my other daughter. *she notes, which might seem odd since Luna is like 4ish*
<Seraphna> * Jaime looks over at the other girl.
<DeathStar> *Celes waves Selena over who sits at the table, all straight backed and proper*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan eyes her for a moment, wondering her age before giving a shrug and a nod.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Unless you think we should speak with the academy headmaster first, I don't see how having more help would be a bad thing.
<Seraphna> * Jaime holds out a hand to her. "I'm Jaime."
<DeathStar> *Celes nods and has Gwen in a butler suit go get the recruit. Gwen also drops a new recruit paper onto the tray.*
<DeathStar> *Selena shakes the hand slowly* Selena
<DeathStar> *Celes looks at the paper* ... SPooc? SPook?
<Sara> * Liana eyes the new paper
<DeathStar> *she eyes the name* Oh. I see the name. Nadine
<Sara> <Liana> I think this is some kind of acronym here. *she gestures to the part Celes saw first*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Wait, SPoC?
<Seraphna> Jaime> "Nice to meet you..." *Jaime seems to be a akward sort who seems out of sorts with herself*
<DeathStar> *Celes nods, showing the paper* Apparantly this S.P.O.C wants to join too
<DeathStar> *Shinobu puts her feet on Mykel's lap, leaning back*
<Sara> * In the background, Ellie stumbles in carrying a vase, which she drops. It does not break by sheer luck
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah she's cool. From the cartel technically but an ally of ours.
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> "Technically"?
<Xanatos> Well, during that world tree stuff, we got shuffled around to other timelines and she came from one of them. She's been working with Cheryl's team I believe.
<DeathStar> *Celes marks okay, and when Gwen brings in the new girl, and takes the new applicant
<DeathStar> *Neekito, in a maid outfit, shows Ellie, who is trying out as a maid too, despite being on the team long ago, since Ellie would have joined in Alita's time period, how to do it properly*
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes Ellie, not forgetting their first encounter as a kid with Neekito. She points at her eyes, then back at Ellie as the two clean the room*
<Sara> * Ellie blinks a couple of times
<Seraphna> Jaime> *leans in to whisper to Selena* "That one trouble...?"
<Sara> <Ellie> ...I don't think she's forgiven me for the duel *she whispers to Neekito*
<DeathStar> *Erevis smiles at the new girl, Imogen* Hello
<Orthogon> *Imogen curtseys, looking at the faces in the room with cautious eyes*
<Sara> * Liana tilts head
<DeathStar> *Neekito whispers to Ellie* Is Selena the reason you are a maid in the castle, by the way, or is this a fetish for you, mistress?
<DeathStar> *Selena just nods to Jaime*
<Seraphna> * Jaime nods, keeping an eye out.
<Sara> <Ellie> G-Grk. It's just, they're looking into really interesting stuff... I think.
<Orthogon> *Imogen smiles slightly, and waves to Erevis.*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan nods politely, wondering how she communicates, he considers after a moment and then does sign language in greetings. Not sure if it's the same but he did learn it for Angela years back.
<Orthogon> *Imogen looks at Xan, and rolls her eyes, as if to say "What are you doing, you fool...?"*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I-I don't think they'd have the same kind of ASL, Dad."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah guess not.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Worth a try.
<Seraphna> * Jaime considers. "Maybe... a notepad?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> So your notes say you wish to join to seek information on our world and the spirits, as well as your mask? It says you perform with it
<DeathStar> *she peers up*
<Orthogon> *Imogen sighs, as if exasperated by having to deal with this song and dance with everyone she meets. She takes out a wooden mask, at first expressionless, and places it on her face.*
<Sara> <Liana> Hello, Ms. Imogen. It is nice to meet you. *she doesn't curtsey or bow -- being royalty and all*
<Sara> <Ellie> Huh, who's the girl in the mask? *she whispers to Neekito*
<Orthogon> *The mask takes on the appearance of Liana, down to the small curves of her face*
<DeathStar> *Neekito shakes her head, not knowing*
<DeathStar> *Selena studies the new girl*
<Sara> * Liana makes a creeped-out expression and looks away
<Orthogon> <ImoLiana> Hello, Ms. Liana. It's nice to meet you, too.
<Sara> <Liana> ...Y-Yes.
<DeathStar> *Erevis taps her chin, watching* So that's what Celes held back
<DeathStar> *that is
<Orthogon> *She carries on, imitating Liana's mannerisms*
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's...useful at least.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes it is
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel shifts slightly in his seat with Shinobu's feet still in his lap* Well that's an interesting artifact...probably works on a type of telepathy with the user.
<Xanatos> <Xan> But weird.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms, musing
<Orthogon> <ImoLiana> Yes, Ms. Celes. I would like to learn more about the magic which binds this mask to me. Apparently, I am the only one capable of utilizing it.
<Sara> * Ellie inches closer
<Orthogon> *Imogen takes the mask off and places it on the table. It retains the likeness of Liana.*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Do the fox fauna have powers here like the Kitsune do back home? Could be a combination of latent power and spirit energy fusing together. 6* He muses.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Not quite to their degree from what I have read
<Orthogon> *Imogen raises an eyebrow at Xan, not knowing what he means by 'Kitsune'*
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> Not like you're thinking...elemental manipulation in others in some.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Could bring up one of those Nue kids to check it out and see...wait isn't there one running the alliance? Wonder if she would have the time... 6* He shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Celes> We will not be quite like the Alliance in we will not be fighting a lot of enemies - or any hopefully. We mainly wish to explore and learn. You are welcome here to join us
<DeathStar> *Gwen returns in his butler outfit with SpoC*
<Sara> * Ellie inches closer still and pokes the mask
<DeathStar> *Neekito, a spirit, joins Ellie*
<DeathStar> *Gwen bows and moves off to find Qui*
<Orthogon> *Imogen motions towards her dagger, and makes motions resembling a parrying technique.*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC peers around a bit, then nods to Gwen. 1"Thank you." 6She looks over at Erevis and Xanatos. 1"Thank you both for accepting my application."
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> Miss Neekito, do you feel anything about it that is connected to the Spirits?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am curious. Why would you wish to join us?
<Orthogon> * Imogen puts the mask back on, this time taking Erevis' face on.*
<DeathStar> *Erevis peers at Spoc*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> There is something about the mask - but I cannot say if a spirit made it
<Sara> <Ellie> Creepy. *she mutters*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah are you a changeling? 6* He leans in to eye SPoC.
<DeathStar> *Erevis tilts her head a bit. Erevis looks to be a typical read haired woman with a white streak in it.*
<Orthogon> <ImoErevis> The reasons are thus - I do not have any way of my own of determining the origins of these things. They are beyond my ken, and I require the help of those who already have a vested interest in discovering these mysteries.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *bows her head to Imo*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC makes a thinking face. 1"I'm not sure. I don't know if I want to continue the path I have done so often, so I figured this maybe worth exploring to see if it'll be different."
<Orthogon> *Imogen bows back, mocking every aspect of the motion. Finally, she smiles wryly.*
<Xanatos> <Xan> That path being? War?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Not the strongest reason, but I will not turn you away. *she tells SPoc*
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel muses on it for a moment as he looks over to Erevis* (to Erevis: it may even be that she's a latent telepath and it has linked to her that way...)
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I appreciate it. 6She bows to her then looks to Xan. 1"War? No."
<DeathStar> *Erevis tilts her head toward Mykel, then nods once as if acknowledging*
<Orthogon> <ImoErevis> Do not worry, I am capable of rendering assistance otherwise. I have skills in combat, and am ready to offer my services as such, perhaps in a covert role.
<Seraphna> Jaime> "You were special ops in the past right? Ms. Natalie?"
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Yes.
<Seraphna> * Jaime nods. "Could be useful..."
<DeathStar> *Selena watches all this, fascinated*
<DeathStar> <Selena> .... *then drags Neekito off all stealth like*
<Xanatos> <Xan> It would be nice to have someone that has strategies and tactics similar to my own.
<Xanatos> <Xan> So. 6* He claps his hands togther.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Welcome. Anyone else, Celes?
<Sara> * Ellie looks over to Neekito and jerks when seeing Neekito is absent, cartoon-style
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> If I recall, do you're not usually result in crashing?
<ChadWinters> *yours*
<Xanatos> <Xan> You're fired.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will miss you. *she tells Spoc*
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel smirks and stifles a laugh*
<Orthogon> *Imogen takes the Erevis-styled mask back off, and it slowly returns to its wooden, blank form.*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I see. That is understandable. 6She bows slightly and turns to leave
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> Take a seat Miss Natalie, playful banter is nothing to turn away.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan turns to look around and starts planning where they can fit in some consoles.
<Xanatos> <Xan> No, I'm serious. I put up with that shit for too long. I will not have my legacy remembered as the guy who crashes.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks over at Mykel. 1"It's not your decision to make."
<Sara> * Ellie slumps. "My dear Neekito has left me after all this time"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is Xan's button. Though you can remain. It is Celes's decision
<DeathStar> <Celes> Please remain
<DeathStar> *Celes motions for SPoc to remain*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC nods to Celes then looks at Xanatos. 1"I will refrain from bringing it up again then."
<DeathStar> *Selena returns to Neekito who looks razzled*
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> Legacies are what you make of them, if your current legacy isn't what you like then change it. *smiles and bows his head to Celes*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan hms, then nods once before stepping off to one of the side rooms to start planning where equipment will go in there.
<DeathStar> *Selena sits at the table. Celes looks around*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I believe this is everyone.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC moves to sit down.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I hope to have soon a brand new ship with the Aquarius and Earth tech ready. We are having some setbacks lately but we are almost finished.
<DeathStar> *Celes brings out a map of Geyze* We have been searching for where to begin and we think we have an idea
<Seraphna> * Jaime and Alita take seats. Alita's sitting next to Mykel.
<Sara> <Ellie> What did you do to my Neekito. *she mutters, eyeing Selena as she sits, inviting herself*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia sits on Mykel's other side
<DeathStar> <Selena> Pacting.
<Sara> * Ellie eyes her suspiciously
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes her back*
<Sara> * Liana blinks at the two
<Orthogon> *Imogen takes a seat with everyone, pulling out the seat so as to make as little noise as possible*
<DeathStar> *Celes touches the snowy region of the Spiritalist Realm*
<DeathStar> <Celes> There.
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel muses at having Alita, Ceilia and Shinobu all around him*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps in and glances around before bowing to Celes.
<DeathStar> *Celes closes the map and peers up* Simon. Hello again
<Xanatos> <Simon> My lady. I heard of your group and would like to offer my assistance. At least in a part time capacity. I've been exploring Geyze for a while now searching for secrets.
<Seraphna> Alita> "It seems we've robbed the Academy of all it's summoners."
<ChadWinters> 6Cele's looks over at Simon
<ChadWinters> *SPoC sheesh*
<Sara> <Ellie> Lady Vyvy isn't here
<DeathStar> <Celes> Part time? *she raises a brow* I doubt Shion would like that
<Xanatos> <Simon> I will be helping the Alliance some as well.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I doubt she would like that even more
<Xanatos> <Simon> I have a vested interest in both groups and their efforts. I can share what data and theories I have.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So what are you a free agent now? What is the word. *muses* Working both sides? Double penetration?
<Sara> <Liana> Oh-ho. Simon is a two-timer. *tone makes it clear she's being playful*
<Xanatos> <Xan> NOT DOUBLE PENETRATION> 6* He calls from the side room.
<DeathStar> *Erevis peers up trying to grasp the words*
<DeathStar> *Selena blushes*
<Orthogon> *Imogen slips on her mask, copying Simon's face, glasses and all.*
<Sara> * Ellie reddens at the words 'double penetration' and suddenly can't figure out where to look. She looks anywhere but at Neekito
<Xanatos> <Simon> Freelance.
<Seraphna> Alita> "I'd be careful. To this day we have no idea how he actually won the favor of Chronos."
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Do you mean Double-Agent?
<Seraphna> * Alita smiles. Still curious.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. That one
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> It is not the correct term since we aren't technically enemies of the Alliance.
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel smirks and looks between them all*
<Xanatos> <Simon> With my pacts with Aska and Celsius I can be here in a moment if you need me. Otherwise I will be working on as many projects as I can manage.
<DeathStar> *Shinobu is shaking her head while Celes is looking anywhere but Liana*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I suppose that is acceptable. I will not turn away pene--I mean. Help.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows again.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you.
<Seraphna> * Jaime is crimsonfaced at this point.
<DeathStar> *Selena scoots her chair far away*
<Sara> * Ellie finally glances at Neekito as Selena scoots away
<Seraphna> * Jaime peers under the table considering the value of hiding under it.
<DeathStar> *Neekito is peering at Ellie all shyly*
<DeathStar> <Celes> No, thank you
<DeathStar> *Celes bows*
<Orthogon> <ImoSimon> *adjusts her glasses* I look forward to assisting you in any capacity you may require, my lady.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks at that, not expecting the bow, then blinks even more at Imogen, though for reference he doesn't have glasses.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon coughs, glancing off to the side, and awkward stance.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Alright, we'll have plenty of room for our stuff. Wait...why is she under the table, did you say something again? 6* He eyes Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm, I might have
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods8
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can be bad with words sometimes
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks around at everyone, studying them.
<Seraphna> * Jaime peeks back out.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Or good with them depending on who you're talking too. Cool, well, time to get to work.
<DeathStar> -Scene Shift-
<DeathStar> Location: The Alliance
<DeathStar> 6* Airell walks around, getting stares from people as he is wearing a Peacekeeper uniform
<DeathStar> *Shion walks with Sasha and a few diplomats
<DeathStar> <Shion> Apparantly a few magical girls are going to arrive to talk with them about a treaty. Hopefully Earth hasn't learned about it yet
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Magical girls?"
<Seraphna> * Sammael accompanies him, sparing Drasek for a bit.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Magic Girls = Maka! 6* He chimes in by Shion for Sasha's benefit.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...For real?" *she looks to Athena* "I thought you were the only one."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Bix read the papers. Good Bix
<DeathStar> *Shion pats his head. Cypher is wearing a suit, looking all fancy*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix beams, his uniform covering most of his mechanical parts which is also nice.
<DeathStar> *Athena poses, wearing a magical girl dress for the visitors*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I see... an odd name for their emissaries."
<Sara> * Chelsea is wearing a nice dress, not too flashy, and looking a bit awkward in it
<Seraphna> * Jennifer snaps some pictures. Sending them to their daughters.
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn stands watch near the corner of a building, declining the uniform of a peacekeeper but accepting a type of worn token*
<DeathStar> *a ship arrives at the spaceport and lands, looking like something out of an anime*
<Sara> * It's a customized shuttle though -- the Maka don't have their own ships
<Sara> * But it definitely looks ridiculously 'anime'
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...their sense of style is... rather bohemian."
<DeathStar> *Aya tilts her head, watching the shuttle*
<DeathStar> <Aya> I wonder what this will be like
<Sara> <Chelsea> Why is it painted all those colors?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon appears nearby and bows his thanks to Celsius before moving over, adjusting his peacekeeper uniform.
<DeathStar> *the doors open*
<Stretch`cell> Maeryn> Why do I have the sudden urge to send my Dragon over to melt that eyesore?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Athena, I think we found new friends."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix jogs over to stand close to the shuttle, a big grin on his face as he throws up a hand in a wave.
<Sara> * Some people emerge from the shuttle -- including an old man and some maids, but also a couple of magical girls proper
<Xanatos> <Bix> HELLO!
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Do that, Maeryn, and you are on time out."
<Sara> * The maids bow in formation as the magical girls lead the old man down the shuttle ramp
<Stretch`cell> Maeryn> I said it was an urge...not that I'd actually do it.
<DeathStar> *One of the magical girls, a bit older - than most of them, looking to be in her teenage years, looks around, studying them. She seems a rather serious than most of the others. Shion takes note, wondering if she is one of those other world ones*
<DeathStar> <Athena> *paw waves*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer paw waves too.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows slightly as they approach, watching them with a fascinated look.
<DeathStar> <Shion> *pushes Sasha forward and bows to greet with Sasha* Welcome
<Sara> * Meanwhile, the other magial girl nearby to the older one is quite young, seemingly only 6 or 7 years old. She is adorable wearing entirely pink
<Jackieness> <Sasha> /sasha "Welcome to Geyze."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Welcome to Geyze."
<Sara> <Old Man> Ahem. Thank you for welcoming this delegation.
<Sara> <Little Magical Girl> Yes! Thank you!
<DeathStar> *The older one just nods, her outfit overly showy and cute, not matching her personality that much*
<Sara> <Old Man> I am Sugihara. I have been sent by the Emperor to handle more delicate aspects that the girls may not always be experienced with. I have heard tell of worlds like this... *he peers around at the area around* Ah, yes.
<DeathStar> <Shion> It is our honor to have you. Please, this way. We have prepared a feast and the delegation is ready to greet you. My name is Shion. This is Sasha
<DeathStar> <Athena> I am Athena. Singer of love and justice
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I am in heel
<DeathStar> *hell
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I am the headmistress of the Academy."
<Xanatos> <Bix> I = BIX!
<DeathStar> *Aya just records all this for Chad*
<Sara> <Little Magical Girl> Oh boy! A feast! Call me Flower Ray. *she gives a magical girl name instead of her real name*
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn moves along behind Shion and Sasha, taking on an official escort roll; her panther plodding along next to her*
<Sara> * The Maka delegration allow themselves to be led by Shion, the old man walking a bit more difficult than the girls
<Xanatos> 6* Simon falls in step beside them while Bix marches up and down the procession making doots and chirps of joy.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer bows. "Jennifer Carmichael, Doctor."
<DeathStar> *Ako is already at the delegation hall, eating*
<DeathStar> *Athena eyes her sister as they arrive*
<Sara> <Sugihara> This place has quite a different aesthetic than back home. My, yes. It reminds me of a dream I had once. Yes, indeed.
<DeathStar> <Aya> There is a place that is a bit like your home on Earth but right now Earth is a bit dangerous. Maybe one day you can see it
<DeathStar> *Aya shows them to their seats*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem!" *as she notices Ako*
<Xanatos> <Simon> A dream?
<DeathStar> *Ako stops and looks innocent*
<Sara> <Sugihara> Earth? Yes. I heard of this Earth, apparently some of the ones who visited us were from there. Yes.
<Sara> * Flower Ray sits and sniffs at the food audibly
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *gives her the headmistress look of disappointment*
<DeathStar> *Ako hangs head*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix leans in to peer at the magical girls.
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn clicks her tongue and her panther moves over to nudge at Ako and guide her to a seat*
<DeathStar> *Cypher and Aya take a seat. Athena waits until all the others do. The older magical girl sits down after scanning the food for poisons*
<Xanatos> <Bix> This = Food! Insert into mouth. Chew. Swallow. Easy! 6* He mimics it despite not eating much himself.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sits with Athena when she sits, Sammael joining them if Airell attends, otherwise keeping her eye on him.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes a seat with Shion*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon takes a seat and waits for everyone to begin eating.
<Sara> <Sugihara> Headmistresses are quite respected in our land. *he notes, looking at Sasha with a gentle, wise smile* So, we are here. It is unusual of an occasion for us. Things like this we do not experience up to now. But, today shall be historic no matter what the result, I am sure.
<Sara> * One of the maids tests Sugihara's food. She makes some silly happy sound upon doing so
<Sara> <Flower Ray> So! What is a treat-y, anyway? You can eat it, right? Is it dessert?
<DeathStar> *the older magical girl peers at all of them*
<DeathStar> <Shion> It is a bit more complicated than that
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "In simplest terms, it is a document of mutual agreement."
<Sara> <Sugihara> We will hear your words on this as we bond over this meal. *he does a brief pre-eating ritual and begins to eat slowly, his eyes watching the people who are talking in turn* An agreement, yes.
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn moves around to take a seat of her own though only will eat some of the meat*
<Sara> * Chelsea looks bored but tries to be polite about it
<DeathStar> *Cypher plays with Chel under the table*
<DeathStar> <Shion> It is like this
<DeathStar> <Shion> We wish to make a pact with you - a binding agreement
<Sara> * Sugihara nods as he listens
<Sara> * Flower Ray whispers to her senior magical girl that she thinks binding means dirty stuff
<Seraphna> * Jennifer leans close to Athena and listens.
<DeathStar> <Shion> We will become more than friends, our worlds. If anything bad happens to you, we will come to your aid. If anything bad happens to us, you will come to your aid. We can add more to the agreement upon that depending on what each party wishes
<ChadWinters> 6Aya would get an image back from Chad, of himself eyeing a bottle of pain pills.
<DeathStar> <Shion> such as trade of items *she lists economy, and such*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Or trading knowledge. 6* He adds after a pause from Shion.
<Sara> <Sugihara> Well, I can certainly agree to our end of the bargain in this prospect -- it is already what our magical girls swear themselves to do, protecting good people from evil! *he laughs, a wheezy laugh, then looks a little more thoughtful as they go over other terms*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Breaking such as a pact is seen as a poor manners in the galactic world
<Sara> <Sugihara> Well, if you do no harm to us, and it does not prohibit us from helping those in need, I do not imagine breaking such a thing -- right girls?
<DeathStar> <Shion> Yes. But I think I might can throw something else in - you can dismiss it if you wish and we can still sign
<DeathStar> <Shion> But it might be helpful
<DeathStar> <Shion> You don't know much about the worlds in this galaxy, much like Geyze and Kumen are still learning. And the worlds in this galaxy have no records of you.
<Sara> * Flower Ray has already eaten all of her food and has started sneakily (she thinks -- actually not stealthy in the slightest) 'borrowing' from the older girl's plates
<DeathStar> *Athena blinks and holds out her plate*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon regards Shion curiously.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Oh my..."
<DeathStar> <Shion> I suggest you have two of your girls remain here as advisors, to learn about our culture. We can teach you not only about our world, but other worlds. And what dangers there might be outside just fighting evil
<DeathStar> <Shion> The galactic universe here can be more dangerous than the one I think you came from - the mirror universe
<Sara> <Sugihara> We have brought materials, excerpts from our Records of Great History. *he dusts off a tome and slides it gently forward* But, you are suggesting a cultural exchange, yes? Will you also be leaving with us an... *he pauses, whispering back and forth with a maid* ...an ambassador on our own world?
<DeathStar> <Shion> That sounds fair
<Sara> <Sugihara> Then, tentatively, I believe we have an accord -- for Justice!
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The Academy will be made available to your representatives."
<DeathStar> <Shion> *nods to Sasha* Then we are in agreement. I look forward to a fruitful relationship
<Xanatos> 6* Simon smiles cheerfully, looking at the tome curiously.
<DeathStar> *the older girl eyes them all, and Cypher just bets she will be one to stay*
<Xanatos> <Bix> YAY! Justice! Peace = Prosperity!
<Sara> * Sugihara eyes the older girl and nods sagely. "You know what I will say, yes? Yes. You are the most suited of all to stay here and help them learn of us, as we learn of them."
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn mutters something about doubting that they're actual magical girls but it's maybe too soft to hear*
<Sara> * Flower Ray points her wand in the air and flowery sparkles rain from the ceiling
<DeathStar> *The older magical girl bows* I will learn everything <3 *she subtly aims a heart wand and boinks Maeryn with a heart ray - hard*
<Sara> <Sugihara> Flower Ray still has much to learn, but I will provide another of our Protectors to you once I have had some discussions with the others. *he bows his head* Blessed be this day for Justice, Peace, and Love.
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn looks at the girl, a glint in her eyes* Be careful in the forests here...tentacles and vines grow everywhere.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Sara> * Chelsea politely finishes her food, saying nothing. She eyes Cypher
<DeathStar> *afterward, Cypher is loosening her tie a bit while the magical girl is being guided by Sasha to her room*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Is this what our jobs are like now? Meeting delegates and dealing with politics?
<Sara> <Chelsea> I-I don't think it's the only thing we'll be doing
<DeathStar> <Shion> Be hopeful that is all we do.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Otherwise we have to fight outside threats
<DeathStar> *Shion heads to her Alliance building*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "These shall be your lodgings. I have you find them comfortable."
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...I suppose so. I still get to maintain the Mew Mew, and that's the important part for me right now, along with finishing my studies.
<Jackieness> have == hope
<DeathStar> *Chelsea's spirit girl runs by, chasing the other kids with a mallet*
<DeathStar> *the magical girl bows all formal like and goes to lay down*
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... *pauses, double takes, then somehow manages to deadpan* And Aimée is having fun
<Sara> <Chelsea> I hope Bonnie is still doing okay too. I haven't gotten to spend enough time with her lately...
<Xanatos> <Simon> As soon as I can I would like to study their historical tome. 6* He says to Shion as he moves along with her.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I think she is in the kitchen trying to make a soup that will get you horny and knock her up. Just hope that Cherie doesn't eat it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns and heads for her office*
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she hands it over to Simon* Return it tomorrow
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... I don't think Cherie would be effected, she's not old enough yet to have those urges.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Hm. *She muses, not really being a kid* I suppose so
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes ma'am. 6* He takes it eagerly a moves for his study.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Mew Mew!
<Sara> * Chelsea peers over
<DeathStar> *Aimee pauses, then chases Bix with the giant mallet*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Ahahah. She has so much energy
<Sara> * The history book regales Simon in manga format with stories of love and justice
<Stretch`cell> *The ferret dashes out of the older Magical Girls room with an article of clothing, dodging around corners quickly to avoid the girls sight*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix jerks and flees in terror.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Bix seems to have boundless energy."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon seems confused that everything is happening in reverse order, then slowly realizes it's supposed to be read from right to left.
<DeathStar> *The magical girl shrugs, still in her magic clothing after all*
<Xanatos> <Simon> ....kaiju....tsundere...6* He shakes his head slightly, slowly cross referencing words to come up with theories on their meanings.
<DeathStar> *everyime Aimee swings and hits the ground, giant holes are formed and dust flies*
<DeathStar> <Athena> That or Bix is fleeing for his life
<DeathStar> <Athena> Run Bix, Run!
<Xanatos> <Bix> !!!! Warning !!!!
<Xanatos> <Bix> !!!! Warning !!!!
<Sara> * Chelsea just seems proud of Aimée
<Xanatos> <Bix> !!!! Warning !!!!
<Sara> * Smiling
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Do we have a chill out button for the poor kid?"
<DeathStar> *Cypher just smiles nervously and apologetically*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer pulls Athena onto her lap.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix circles and comes in towards Cypher, Chelsea, and Jennifer.
<DeathStar> *Athena picks Bix up easily, despite his weight probably*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena has you
<Stretch`cell> Maeryn> As the saying goes...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
<DeathStar> *Aimee pauses, eyeing them and backs off*
<DeathStar> *sulking*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix blinks, confused.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Bix = Strong! Athena = Stronger!
<Seraphna> * Jennifer huffs a little, supporting them both. "She... sure is...!"
<Xanatos> <Bix> Jennifer = Flatcake!
<Sara> * Chelsea pats Aimée on the head and gives her a lollipop
<DeathStar> <Athena> Jen refuses to Athena carry her.
<DeathStar> <Athena> One day Jen will learn
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "You can carry me if you want..."
<DeathStar> *Athena throws Jen over her shoulder like a kid*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix slowly starts to move his arms and legs like he's swimming, making jaws music.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer squeaks.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Up~
<Seraphna> Jennifer> M-Mew!
<DeathStar> *and so the Alliance continues to be silly, not knowinf what is coming for them*
<DeathStar> -END-
* Jackieness has quit IRC
* Xanatos has left #TAW-Session304
