<DeathStar> *peers at the bloody item*
<Jackieness> What did they do, DS?! :0
<DeathStar> Chad tried to kill Kalon and Sera wiggled in joy over it
<Seraphna> Chad was being Chad.
<DeathStar> *hangs head* It is a shame
<Seraphna> My wiggling was a dance sending Kalon off to the next plane

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Castle
<DeathStar> Date: 11.3.5997
<DeathStar> 6* With most of the team gone, the remaining few are planning to get the mummy out of the fire plain. Celes puts her backpack on and smiles softly, musing
<DeathStar> <Celes> Hm... *she seems lost in a thought that makes her smile, that makes Selena raise a brow as she gets her clothes on*
<Seraphna> * Alita sighs, dressing for the hot occasion, which means barely anything except what she needs.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *packs some more specific tools this time* "Hmmmm... wonder if the princess cna resist overpacking again..."
<DeathStar> *Sylph puts on some lotion made from fruit*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I realized something. *she tells Liana*
<Sara> <Liana> Mmh?
<DeathStar> <Celes> It has been a while since we all have gone on an adventure. *referring to the original Geyze people*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Alright." *picks up her bag and head sout of her lab to meet the others*
<Sara> <Liana> Everyone's gone so many separate ways... *she notes*
<Seraphna> * Alita stretches out, then pauses realizing the crowd around her. "You're right... the new people have all gone."
<DeathStar> <Celes> I am used to Erevis and her people leading the missions
<Sara> <Liana> Feels weird, right?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia walks up next to Alita
<DeathStar> <Selena> Poor Lana, ignored when she is the reason we are going.
<Seraphna> * Alita tilts her head. "She's not from Geyze?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I suppose I should do what Sasha does and lead missions more often.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I'm from Mars... remmeber?" *said flatly*
<Seraphna> Alita> That's the red one?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...yes..."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Yeah.
<Sara> <Liana> I have been told that men are from Mars
<DeathStar> *Celes pauses at that* That would explain a lot
<Seraphna> Alita> I would have assumed Venus, yes, I heard that lore too.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "and women are from Venus... well... know what? Venus sucks!"
<Seraphna> Alita> But it's all girls there, no?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Anyway, do you think we should call on the Academy for any back up?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "There's no one there! The atmosphere is acid and poison!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Or do you think we can handle it
<Seraphna> Alita> We are lacking in numbers right now... couldn't hurt?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I say we can do fine
<DeathStar> <Selena> But up to moms
<Sara> <Liana> I don't think there's going to be any trouble..
<Jackieness> <Lana> "OK... we've been to the site... so we can teleport straight there by spirit express, right?"
<DeathStar> *Sylph begins to rub the lotion into Ellie's body - slowly and sensually*
<Seraphna> Alita> I'm cautious with those Dark Spirits out there.
<Sara> <Ellie> A-Ah! Sylphie! W-We're in public!
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I should be able to. Hm? Oh. Sorry. *she lets go of Ellie's breasts*
<DeathStar> *Neekito shakes her head*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'd rather not go through the Legion capital again ebcause of the shapeshifter spies that obviously ratted us out."
<DeathStar> <Celes> I wonder
<DeathStar> <Celes> Anyway, if you would Sylph
<DeathStar> *Sylph motions for people to touch her*
<DeathStar> *Selena and Celes do so*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *mumbles something about wishing she would be lotion felt up by some cute guys but then shakes her head* "Yes, let's." *joins the love chain*
<Seraphna> * Alita does so, Talia riding on her shoulder.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia does so as well
<DeathStar> <Celes> I have guards here that would be willing, Lana
<DeathStar> <Celes> Shall I call them in? Or one of the servants
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... what?" *blush* "I don't know what you're tlaking about!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I am told *whispers a name in Lana's name* is quite cute.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Eve likes him
<Jackieness> <Lana> "W... we have an archaeological expedition to do!"
<DeathStar> *Sylph just stares at the team and warps them. They soon appear near the valley, the heat hitting them immediately*
<DeathStar> *Selena draws her sword and looks around, circling in place as she turns*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Woooo... like a sauna out here." *tries to get her bearings*
<Seraphna> Alita> Sylph, can you call Salamander to us to shield from the heat?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Will she come? She was... indisposed last time you tried calling here."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I can try to feel out but... *she shrugs* Probably be easier for me to fly out to the capital
<DeathStar> <Celes> Leaving us without a spirit
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...plus the bad guys might see you and know we're here."
<Seraphna> Alita> I can call Undine, but I don't think she'll do so well in the heat.
<DeathStar> *Selena walks along toward the valley since it's nearby, wearing Amazon armor due to the heat*
<DeathStar> <Selena> There's shade in the valley. Come on
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Come on, we're not in the actual lava fields!" *starts walking*
<Sara> * Ellie desperately fans herself off as they walk
<Seraphna> * Alita shrugs, glad she is essentially in a bikini.
<DeathStar> *Celes is glad there's no leering guys, unless you count Alita and Ceilia*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia shrugs as well, dressed similarly to Alita as always
<DeathStar> *Celes walks along, already a sweaty mess with her long hair*
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... if we keep going to hot places I might just cut this off
<Seraphna> * Alita is not a guy, and only seems to be leering at her twin. Huff.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...here's a tip... never wear leather on a hot day... my boobs are sweaty."
<Sara> <Liana> But I like your hair...
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> <I see you peeking~>
<DeathStar> *Celes hugs Liana close* Thank you.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Besides long hair seems to be a thing in our family. I wonder if Luna will do it too
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the valley, which looks to be a bit of a mess. Things thrown out of the holes and searched*
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Huh.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I wear my hair up so its out of the way and let it down when its time to play."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...those beasts! This is a site of historic and cultural significance!"
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Well now it's holy.
<DeathStar> *Celes sets her backpack down and looks about* It seems they've taken most of the stuff here. Not a thing left other than junk
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia looks at Lana
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Holy.
<Seraphna> Alita> Certainly a lot of holes.
<Seraphna> Alita> But did they leave the corpse?
<DeathStar> <Celes> I guess it depends on if we hit it
<Jackieness> <Lana> *runs over and starts climbing up the cliff face to the burial site*
<DeathStar> *Selena follows along. Celes pauses and eyes a spirit-tech* Becareful Lana!
<DeathStar> *device
<DeathStar> *she is holding a device in her hand*
<Sara> * Liana eyes her daughter for a moment
<DeathStar> *Selena freezes*
<Seraphna> * Alita peers around carefully.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Huh?" *glances over*
<DeathStar> *Celes lets the spirit-tech device float and pings the area. It faintly detects machines in the area - partially. It seems to have trouble since the machines are not spirit-tech and Lana and Selena are about to cross the line of one. Lana is just half an inch from one*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I am an old fashioned and still use a lot of spirit-tech
<DeathStar> <Celes> This is a detector
<DeathStar> <Celes> I meant to use it for anyone hiding
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...did they trap the place too?!"
<DeathStar> *Selena pauses and begins to crawl over to the area with the device. Sylph grabs Ellie and floats over to one too*
<DeathStar> *Sylph sets Ellie down*
<DeathStar> <Selena> If it's a mine, I refuse to get near the mummy
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks all around* "Do something!"
<Sara> * Ellie glances
<Seraphna> * Alita muses, "If it is, I'm not sure how we would deal with those."
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a sensor that sends data somewhere once someone passes by it*
<Sara> <Ellie> I think Chelsea called this kind of thing a... motion sensor?
<Seraphna> Alita> Maybe to alert those shifters.
<DeathStar> *Celes moves over and studies it* Maybe. *she uses another device to take a snapshot and it draws a picture*
<DeathStar> <Celes> To show it to others when we finish. Maybe Chelsea or one of the Alliance members will recognize it
<DeathStar> *Selena nods and grabs Lana, moving to avoid the motion sensors to get up to where the mummy was located
<Jackieness> <Lana> *takes a look once they get there*
<DeathStar> *the mummy looks to be gone. Poor mummy.*
<Seraphna> * Alita frowns. "Perhaps there are traces left."
<DeathStar> *Selena muses and digs around where it was located*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Lets see
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I took some samples the last time, but this would have been easier with more to work with..." *plops down* "...assholes!!!!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Does Ceilia know any spells?
<Sara> <Liana> "With assholes"? *she murmurs to herself*
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> I could try and scry for it, sure.
<Seraphna> ALita> Yes, perhaps it was merely moves, or even buried."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia starts working a ritual to try and trace the mummy
<DeathStar> *Celes leans in* Do Martians curse that much?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *slips off her glasses* "...what?"
<DeathStar> *the spell fails to find where the mummy was taken, but it dies find part of the mummy. It seems in the process of moving it, part of the mummy was knocked off nearby*
<DeathStar> *it pings further down the valley*
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> I don't have the whole thing, but I found part of it. Down in the valley.
<Seraphna> Alita> Let's follow it then, careful of the sensors.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *stands up, slipping ehr glasses back on* "Its something. Show me that spell later too."
<DeathStar> *Sylph picks up Ellie and flies her down the valley, making the others do the OG to follow*
<DeathStar> *Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up*

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> *Ellie and Sylph have found a mummy arm by the time the team arrives, with Alita arriving last*
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> <Slowpoke>
<DeathStar> *Selena kneels* This enuough, Lana?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *opens her bag and pulls out a cloth, laying it out next to the arm* "For experimentation, yes. For preservation of a significant find, not really... but its already been despoiled."
<DeathStar> <Celes> I am more interested do you think we can use this to find enough of this dee-en-a
<DeathStar> <Celes> When we go to the water kingdom to try to find the descendant
<Jackieness> <Lana> "It depends on the state of the remainign soft tissues." *pulls out soem forceps and moves the arm on to the cloth*
<Seraphna> Alita> Any time! I have a ticket there with Undine.
* Orthogon has joined #TAW-Session353
<DeathStar> *Celes nods and turns to Alita and Ceilia* If she fails
<DeathStar> <Celes> Do you think you can work on a spell that can get anything off this arm that might find a decendant when we set off?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *mumble* "...I can do magic too..."
<DeathStar> *Selena glances around the Fire Kingdom. Liana would get the feeling that maybe someone is watching them, but no one is showing themselves of attacking*
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Like an alarm? I could do that, sure.
<DeathStar> *Sylph eyes her wings, mumbling about them wilting*
<Seraphna> * Alita muses and looks to Celes. "A divining with our joined power?"
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> If Alita and Lana help it'll be better.
* Xanatos` has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> <Celes> Is that what it is called?
<Seraphna> Alita> To get information off an artifact, body or not, yes.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *wraps the cloth up carefully around the arm and slips it in her bag* "OK, I got it intatc... no thansk to those savagaes that plundered the place."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Okay, we should head back. Sylph - Ellie - can you prepare to teleport us back. We will work on the arm and divining until Erevis and company return from the cube. *she turns to Liana* I think I could get used to leading
<Sara> <Ellie> Understood.
<Sara> <Liana> Ahahah.
<DeathStar> *Celes picks her backpack up, smiling with a gleam in her eyes. Selena eyes her mother*
<DeathStar> *Sylph takes Ellie's hand and prepares to warp them back*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Brief Interlude
<DeathStar> 10-639.5.20
<DeathStar> Location: The Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* After the Aquarius has gotten away from the Prison Cube and the ships are all repaired, the teams have begun to prepare to depart. Sabrina talks with the teams about something while they look into anyone who might be shapeshifters and after finishing their scans, one by one the teams prepare to depart. Taiga stops each of the leaders (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* Heading them an envelope. It seems Sabrina worked with Mireille and Taiga is handing them the results.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Open this once each of you are alone. *she hands Marcus/Lemon/Chad one*
<DeathStar> *Then she hands Erevis/Xanatos one*
* ChadWinters raises an eyebrow at that, glancing at the envelope
<DeathStar> *Asarar turns to Chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> After this current job we might try to stop by and visit - discreetly - once more. But we are not ready to reveal ourselves to the world quite yet. But I know the team is interested in maybe going back to Kumen again. We rotate jobs and it sounds like a few of them are wanting to go back home
<Sara> <Chelsea> Going back to Kumen, huh...
<DeathStar> *Cypher eyes her twin as she gets the Mew Mew Ship prepared.*
<Seraphna> * Luci nods and smiles to Chel. "Geyze is close enough."
<DeathStar> *Asarar gives Chelsea a hug and pat* Take care of yourself
* ChadWinters opens the envelope and eyes looks over what's inside
<DeathStar> *Lemon snatches the envelope from Chad before he can open it* She said alone
<Sara> <Chelsea> I... I will...
* ChadWinters shrugs
<DeathStar> *Lemon puts it in her clothes to hide it*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *to Erevis* Look after the clothes for me
<DeathStar> *kids
<Seraphna> * Angela muses. "We could put mitts on him."
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Or spray him with a water bottle whenever he doesn't listen
<DeathStar> *Lemon moves to go to their ship to head off. Asarar moves to go their's and one by one the teams begin to go. Taiga nods to Iceheart and Frejya's team as Erevis' team now goes* <Taiga> Alright we need to get back on course to our planet.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So are we getting this tour bus rolling then?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets hope each of us do better this time
<DeathStar> *Cypher pulls Chelsea onto her lap* You ready? We'll see her again soon
<DeathStar> *She notes as the Mew Mew flies out and each of the ships begin to enter hyperspace*
<Seraphna> * Si leans on Taiga. "Let's hope!"
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session353
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Oh we will, if I know how these things go
<Sara> <Chelsea> Yeah... It's not like I should really be caring that much about it anyway...
<DeathStar> *Cypher studies her, as if musing on something and curious about something* Well, it just shows you care about Asar. Lets go. *she jumps*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 11.4.5997
<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Castle
<DeathStar> 6* Celes has been gathering maps the last few days and putting them in an old fashion cart that the team used to use
<DeathStar> *As well as supplies*
<DeathStar> <Selena> What is that old thing? *Selena asks, having been of a generation that grew up on the teleporters*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *has been practically living in her lab the past few days, doing her work*
<Sara> <Liana> We used to walk or fly everywhere
<Seraphna> Alita> Trips took weeks, sometimes.
<DeathStar> <Selena> So why is mom using that again when we have the current system?
<Seraphna> Alita> You can't monitor overland travel as easily.
<Sara> <Liana> Well, there *is* the advantage of being less obvious... teleporters are apparently theoretically traceable.
<DeathStar> *voice* She is correct
<Seraphna> * Alita peers around. "Dramatic reveal in 3, 2, 1..."
<DeathStar> *Adeline sits in the back, the 13 year old girl's arms crossed with a sulky look. Having taken to just walking in the door past the guards using her psionics lately*
<Seraphna> Alita> It does work for you at least. *she smiles*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The PAX teleporters use a logging system and while only the Empress and your leaders should have the logs - like Sasha or Shion or Celes - if a hacker is good enough, anyone could get a log of where you've come from or where you went
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And follow you
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So if one of the kingdom leaders wanted you dead, they could give it away
<Seraphna> * Alita frowns. "We should really get an update on Salamander."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> But everyone loves us, so obviously we don't have to worry about that. 6*She nods
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I just thought you'd like to know that Erevis and her gang have returned an hour or two
<DeathStar> *ago
<DeathStar> <Selena> I see. So mom thinks we should go old fashioned
<DeathStar> <Selena> And go on foot once Lana and the twins finish
<Jackieness> <Lana> *finishes programming an arcane configuration as a computer and then takes a vial off a homemade centrifuge and lets the 'computer' have at the analysis*
<Seraphna> Alita> I see, well it's good to know. Plus they have one of those shuttles.
<Seraphna> Alita> Yes... speaking of which , I need to begin the next part of the ritual. **she picks up a skull of... something**
<DeathStar> *Lana finishes and toget her with Alita and Ceilia have a divination spell that will ping when they are near a descendant of the fire hero - up to 20 miles*
<Seraphna> * Alita blinks and looks at the skull. "Ah, it's done!"
<DeathStar> *Sylph turns to Ellie* Should we bring Fae? Do I need to pack fruit? It's been a long time since we've done this
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> You're a goober. 6*She gives Alita a kiss
<Sara> <Ellie> Well... I worry about Fae's safety, but we can't shelter her all the time. But if there's any trouble that risks her, I'll have you warp her back home.
<DeathStar> *Celes walks in and slaps her hands together* Alright everyone. I have spoken to Erevis and her family and friends about what is going to happen next. We are going to be on the road for months now. I do not know when we will be returning to the Castle except with a spirit
<DeathStar> <Celes> Or in an emergency with a teleporter - which I would like to avoid. We will be doing this like Liana and Sasha's unit used to do. We will be traveling around Geyze until we found all the books, all the decendants.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *stores the configuration in her PAN* "OK, we now have it!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> It might take a long time so make sure to pack everything you need. We will be buying what we need from each city and village
<DeathStar> <Selena> Part of me thinks you just wanted to do a road trip, Momma
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> You hear that, sis? Fashion time.
<DeathStar> *Selena goes to pack all her stuff. Sylph nods and goes to get Fae all ready*
<DeathStar> *Neekito muses*
<Seraphna> Alita> Are Erevis' people coming with us?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhh... fashion time? Are you going to do makeovers and stuff?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. They are going to meet us at the carriage
<Seraphna> * Alita nods, looking to Talia. "We'll have to use you as a messenger to the palace from time to time dear one."
<Seraphna> * Talia wiggles.
<DeathStar> *Neekito goes to prepare some stuff*
<DeathStar> *Celes takes Liana's hand, looking a little shakey - either from excitement or worry*
<Sara> * Liana squeezes it gently
<DeathStar> *Celes squeezes it*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Should we bring Luna along?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Or leave her in the care of the castle
<DeathStar> <Celes> She is six now
<Sara> <Liana> Luna... I think I'd rather she stay safe for now
<DeathStar> *Celes nods and arranges it with the castle staff*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to put stuff into the carriage - clothes, weapons, etc. The carriage is rather huge surprisingly*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It has been sometime since I have been on a road trip
<DeathStar> *Selena meanwhile is kneeling near Luna, giving her candy* <Selena> I wish I could sneak you along, sis
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC stacks things. 1"Does something this big not stick out?"
<DeathStar> *Neekito decides to stay behind to watch Luna - and because she can warp to Ellie and Sylph when needed. Sylph hops on top of the carriage to feel the wind*
<Sara> * Luna eats the candy without unwrapping it first
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Maybe. I suppose they will think we are rich people on a trip?
<Seraphna> * Jaime loads some of her things into the cart, having a very sparse amount. "M-Maybe?"
<DeathStar> *Selena gives Luna a cute little armor to wear*
<DeathStar> <Selena> There. To protect you
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I've been on a road trip only once. College party. We were going to go out to one of the wilder biomes on Mars, get drunk, high, and have sex... ... ...and yeah... no one wanted to touch the creepy goth girl who 'liked dead people'."
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Hopefully we aren't targetted by bandits then.
<DeathStar> <Selena> While I am gone. You are the princess of the castle. If you need help ask Aunt Eve
<Seraphna> * Jaime fingers the vine band around her wrist, musing.
<DeathStar> *Selena gives Luna a hug and moves into the carriage. Celes picks Luna up and hugs her and gives her kisses all over*
<DeathStar> <Celes> You be good, my little Luna
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I have rejection issues..." *sighs and climbs into the carriage*
<DeathStar> *Selena awkwardly pats Luna*
<Seraphna> * Jaime takes a moment to say goodbye to any of the Erevis clan staying with the house, since people like Lenneth are there too.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth is not there*
<Seraphna> * Jaime blinks. "Umm... where's Lenneth at?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis tilts head at Jaime and wonders about her memory sometimes
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Another day. *she evades the question - like she typically does*
<Seraphna> Jaime> *blinks and rubs her head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Damn, I'm so mixed up lately... **she frowns and looks embarrassed**
<DeathStar> <Selena> It is likely because you are so busy with Gnome. *she notes dryly*
<DeathStar> *Celes hands Luna over to Liana for hugs, then Neekito, getting into the carriage*
<Seraphna> * Jaime flusters. "I-I... that is..."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Is this everyone? *She glances around, counting heads* <Erevis> I have Xanatos in the luggage
<DeathStar> <Celes> I will not ask
<Seraphna> * Jaime climbs in, pouting just a bit, and not seeming to think twice of her father being packed in luggage.
<DeathStar> *Sylph pulls Ellie onto her lap*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I believe I have our stuff secured.
<DeathStar> <Celes> If we left anyone behind, they can catch up later
<DeathStar> *the driver begins to get the horses moving and the carriage slowly begins to move out, riding away from the hapian capital*
<Seraphna> * Jaime tells Selena all about the epic raid on the prison and space battle.
<DeathStar> *Selena listens politely. Celes takes a few deep breaths, looking like she misses Luna already. Sylph comes into the carriage and holds Fae out the window*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks out one of the carriage windows at the scenery
<DeathStar> *as the carriage moves they see mostly plains and nothing remarkable. The roads are well maintained and it looks to be a good day. Selena leans back and wonders if this is how adventurers used to do it*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I hope winter does not slow us down too much
<Seraphna> Jaime> Earlier in my life I hitched a lot of rides... this isn't too unlike riding in a freighter between destinations.
<DeathStar> *Celes muses, since it is warm in the carriage but outside it is not overly green*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...soooo... Queen Celes... cute guards?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I hear about them from my other sister. She says we have many cute guards, yes. And servants. She goes on about them sometimes
<Seraphna> * Jaime blushes at that.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> So Fae, do you have any cute boyfriends or girlfriends? *she asks the little girl*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *deadpan*
<Sara> * Liana deadpans too
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I don't think I've ever met this third sister."
<DeathStar> *Sylph looks confused*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Eve keeps to herself since her incident
<DeathStar> *Celes
<DeathStar> <Celes> In case she has any relapses
<Seraphna> * Alita frowns at that and looks down.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Incident?"
<Sara> <Liana> It's a long story...
<DeathStar> <Celes> *nods*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC pulls out her notepad and starts drawing on it. 1"How long will it take us to get to our destination?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> If we do not attempt to fly, it will take... *she opens the window to the driver and talks*
<DeathStar> <Celes> About a week and a half to the border of the Amazon Kingdom maybe
<DeathStar> <Celes> If winter weather does not hit
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> ...
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I see.
<DeathStar> <Celes> It's just I was not sure if we all wanted to risk the flying carriage mode with so many people inside. I take it you want to?
<DeathStar> *Celes leans to talk to the driver*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I doesn't matter to me. I'm just curious
<Seraphna> Alita> I'm not sure why we didn't teleport via spirit to be honest.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Driver, can you fly us to the border of the Amazon territory
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I could. But with all your stuff...
<Seraphna> Alita> True... though I am pacted to Undine... and Void, but you know.
<Seraphna> * Jaime squirms. "When we stop next I need to try summoning Salamander and see if everything is alright."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. But we should not be reliant on the spirits. What do you expect to do. Have them carry us from place to place and we carry all our stuf? Plus we do not know if spirits can be tracked yet.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at Alite* "Seriously, you and your sister should hang out more with me sometime. We should share notes."
<DeathStar> <Celes> With all this new equipment being made
<Seraphna> Alita> That would be nice.
<Seraphna> * Jaime nods.
* Stretch`cell has joined #TAW-Session353
<DeathStar> *The carriage has been rumbling during their talk and begins to fly shakily and wobbily*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Whoooooa... thisa does not feel safe!"
<DeathStar> *The spirit-tech in the carriage working to fly them at low altitude like some sort of airship*
<DeathStar> *after a moment or two it steadies*
<Seraphna> Alita> Rough ride at first... but... there we go.
<DeathStar> <Celes> The spirit-tech takes a bit of time to stablize. Though there has been known kinks here and there
<DeathStar> <Celes> It is one reason giant airships in the past have not been mass-produced
<DeathStar> <Selena> Wait, we have airships?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Hapian made a few in the past
<Seraphna> Alita> You know, I've heard of them but never actually seen one. I think.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks outside her window again
<DeathStar> <Celes> But once Kumen began to get more promiment with space travel the need for airships were not needed
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Spirit-tech airships... that would be interesting."
<DeathStar> <Celes> I think the last time I saw one was when I was a little girl
<DeathStar> <Celes> It might still be in the capital somewhere
<DeathStar> *Selena sighs* Riding an airship would be neat
<Seraphna> * Jaime leans against Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Selena> But I guess we would stand out
<DeathStar> *Selena looks at Liana hopefully that they could get the airship out of the mothballs*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe there's a way to fix the problems with the airship design."
<Sara> * Liana gives a small shrug, unable to commit to anything at this instant
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, maybe when I am queen me and you can mass-produce airships, Lana
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well, plotting when I retire already
<Sara> * Liana looks between her daughter and Lana suspiciously
<Seraphna> Jaime> Maybe you could mix shuttle tech with them...?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> An airship wouold be pointless with shuttles being available would they not?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I-I know that but...
<Sara> <Ellie> It's a matter of cultural identity
<DeathStar> <Selena> Exactly
<DeathStar> <Selena> I still want to look into it one day
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Not for mere transportation! Think about it... air cruises."
<DeathStar> <Celes> It might be nice one day. They were stopped because of Kumen tech and it was close to Earth. Anyway, we should be near the border in a day or two so relax
<DeathStar> *Selena nods and closes her eyes. Sylph meanwhile leans Fae out the window to enjoy the win*
<Seraphna> * Jaime looks over at Selena a moment, then out the window.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 11.6.5997
<DeathStar> Location: Plains City Dina
<DeathStar> 6* The Carriage lands at the Amazon City once it crosses the border and everyone is able to stretch their legs and get rooms for the night. Selena stretches and walks about - the Amazons are also modernizing but they seem to be keeping their unique identity as well (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* The cities keep their greek look with some modern touches, with water flowing on each side of the streets and the air feels nice and clean. The Amazons here wear more modern clothing and none of the nude stuff and the stores and shops seem to be selling a mix of Geyze items and armor as well as Earth and Kumen stuff
<DeathStar> *There is even something called a Guild that has Monster hunts with the offer of items like high grade armor and items if people wish to hunt for them in sessions or minis*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I love this Kingdom
<DeathStar> <Selena> I even got a super cute armor here recently
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I read this place was clothing optional. What happened?"
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks around curiously
<Seraphna> Alita> Mmm, men.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Oh the topless armor stuff? That's in a few cities that's more traditionalist. The old capital and one or two cities
<DeathStar> <Selena> But for the most part the cities do not do that anymore
<DeathStar> <Selena> And they typically do that in training now
<DeathStar> <Selena> Or in tournaments in those cities
<DeathStar> *Celes pays for rooms in the inn. Selena checks out the guild board*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well, at least I can spare myself some embarassment."
<DeathStar> <Celes> We'll stay here for the night, see if we get a ping in the magic. Everyone should enjoy the day off. I want to try to head up to the capital
<DeathStar> <Celes> Part of the reason for coming here is to try to find what happened to Qui's family and if we can find any documents on them as well
<DeathStar> <Celes> So along the way I hope we can get a hit on the fire descendant
<DeathStar> <Celes> Since Shinobu had those documents maybe Qui will too
<DeathStar> <Celes> Somewhere
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods and bows, moving to check the city out. Selena thumbs up.*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Okay Fae, let us go play. *she takes Ellie and Fae's hands, moving out into the city*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC nods to Cele then looks at Erevis. 1"I'm going to take in the scenery."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I think I'm going to go explore too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Okay. Lets enjoy the city then
<DeathStar> -END-
