<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.5.25 - around a week after the Prison Incident
<DeathStar> Location: The Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* During this week, Rada has left, only with a note that he has left to go to the PAX to be with the Empress. Leaving the team down a man. A few of the team has been using the teleporters to go to various worlds and relax, to get over the incident, and eventually they arrive at the Cartel world that Freyja and Iceheart mentioned. Yuki studies it in from her chair
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers over at it, and eats a brownie.
<Sathen> *Jelly yawns from the science console he has taken over behind Airym's station* Why are we here again?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> From how those two explained it, the Cartel corruption is more subtle.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And might provide good leads
<Sara> * Erica yawns in her chair
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The planetary leadership is likely already compromised."
<ChadWinters> 6Cel glances at the planet then down at her terminal, information on the planet displayed for her
<Seraphna> Cookie> *passes a brownie to Pepper* Or are they so corrupt they corrupted the corrupters?
<Sathen> Jelly> So how do we want to play things this time? I can't imagine selling me off to a corporate queen who has a fetish for petting tails is gonna work.
<DeathStar> *The world seems to be a legit world for rich people to buy and trade things, museums and art shows, galleries, lecture halls, and very, very rich schools. It is is basically a very, very rich planet*
<DeathStar> *and it deals in rich people*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "This worlds seems to be reserved for the elite of the Cartel."
<ChadWinters> <Cel> It would appear so. But every culture has their places for the elites.
<Sathen> Jelly> In other words, the more perverse fetishes that only money can buy...and remain mum about at the same time.
<Sara> <Erica> In the end, there's no escaping the whole 'social status' thing, no matter where you go... sadly.
<ChadWinters> 6Cel glances at Jelly. 1"Maybe, but find me a planet that doesn't do that. 6She then glances at Erica a bit.
<DeathStar> *Taiga taps her chin*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This would be a good place for a God and Shapeshifter to hide
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You are correct, Taiga."
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods** And Shapeshifting Gods.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Taiga's right. You have those with power and generally of greed in one place.
<Sathen> Jelly> I'll ask again...how are we going to play this? I doubt we could pass as a group of the super-elite douche-bags that frequent this place
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Shapeshifting..gods?
<DeathStar> *Yuki eyes her cousin*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well, if they're gods, why can't they shapeshift?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You just put both of those together."
<Sara> <Erica> I think the drugs have made it all mix together in her head
<Sathen> *Jelly glances towards the topic of conversation* So is this s time where we need to do sciency stuff and create a super-detox in 5 minutes drug?
<DeathStar> *Yuki pats Cookie*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Lay off the weed
* Sathen has left #TAW-Session363
<Seraphna> * Cookie sniffles. "But it makes most of the people around me bearable."
* Sathen has joined #TAW-Session363
<DeathStar> (Sathen is gone, we can tal--damn)
<ChadWinters> <Cel> I imagine a few people here have the money that'll allow us free access of the planet more or less.
<DeathStar> *Yuki turns to Erica*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You're rich and the boss. How do you think we should play it, my love?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Go down there and act rich?
<Sara> <Erica> It's something we're good at
<Seraphna> * Cookie leans on Pepper. "Ready to act all high society?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I wonder what type of God will be down there
<DeathStar> *Taiga muses*
<Sara> <Erica> If it's a good of money, I'm done. *she jokes*
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Hmmmm, I s'pose
<Sathen> Jelly> So long as it isn't that whacky magic girl who needs to get laid I don't care...
<DeathStar> *somewhere Sabrina sneezes*
<DeathStar> *Rachael eyes her*
<Sara> * Erica gives Jelly an odd look
<Seraphna> **Kaelan stretches** Must be allergies.
<Sathen> ((He was meaning the evil one...LOL))
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Regardless, you should prepare identities and a proper cover."
<DeathStar> *Taiga shifts behind Erica and Yuki*
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Wasn't that evil girl like...15?
<Sathen> *Jelly grins* What? You honestly think she'd be a problem then? She'd probably lose her magic powers.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *peers around to eye Jelly*
<Sara> <Erica> I'm on the verge of calling security
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh he means the evil one
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... I think she is around 17. Maybe.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Could be 16
<Seraphna> Cookie> How old is Jelly?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hard to tell with girls these day. *motions at herself - deaged*
<Sathen> *Jelly sighs* Point out a 15 year old who hasn't messed around with someone their age and I'll point out a candidate for potential 30 year old virgin.
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Still not okay, creep-o. Anyway, high society? Let's get to it.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "This topic is not relevant to the mission."
<Sara> <Erica> Can magical girls de-age? That's actually a weird question, but I didn't hear anything about it...
<ChadWinters> <Cel> In old news, Jelly's a pervert like water is wet.
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods and sticks out a pinky finger** I'm fancy now.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That'd be a nice way to keep your powers
<Sara> <Erica> Still, at this rate Jelly is going to have to be taken in for mandatory therapy
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And keep him away from our younger girls
<Sara> <Erica> ...Needless to say. *shudder*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Alright team, we're going to dress up and look rich then head down
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> How dressy can my dress be. Is this like awards season level of dressy?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Pepper and I shall be such a duo. Who hasn't heard of a rich party girl?
<Sathen> *Jelly grumbles* Not my fault I had a good portion of Kumen's Net re-wire my brain...
<Sara> <Erica> Therapy will *help* you
<DeathStar> *Yuki whispers to Erica* According to Cypher he has always been a perv
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Seraphna> Cookie> He had the INTERNET in his head. No wonder he's a perv.
<Sara> * Erica gives a slight knowing nod, having read the files Cypher turned over
<Sathen> *Jelly's ear twitches* I can hear you you know...
<DeathStar> *Rachael stands there in her rich girl outfit --- but still somehow makes it look super revealing*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta is wearing a dress that makes her look like a princess almost, like her past self*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wears a fashionable dress alongside Zegretta, their mother being a fashion designer. So Kaelan's similarly taken after a parent like her past self.
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen grumbles, wearing a tux but he's somehow ditched the tie and vest so it's mostly like a blazer over slacks and a dress shirt
<Sara> * Erica is wearing a formal business dress suit
<DeathStar> *Lorelei wears a simple, elegant outfit, while Sabrina keeps falling down in high heels*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt tugs at his tie, in a business suit-esque outfit, he looks miserable even if it's well fitting.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Ow. .... Ow.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm with you on this one, Val.
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, heels kinda suck, don't they. *she sympathizes*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *is dressed like a high-class secretary, posing as Erica's custom 'executive assistant mech'*
<Sathen> *Orihime shakes her head and smiles, wearing an almost see-through sheer dress; she helps Sabrina stand up without falling more*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan's tail gently flicks and she looks over Zegretta's dress, smiling.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... *she thanks her*
<ChadWinters> 6Cel stands where a fancy black dress with a slit cut up on the one side.
<Xanatos`> 6* Pepper wears a bright red dress with a plunging v-shaped neckline. Her shoulder length hair is slicked back almost like a greaser and she's wearing ostentatious jewelery.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *she beams and gives her a kiss on the cheek* <Taiga> That everyone? *she is wearing a low cut black dress while Yuki is wearing a kimono oddly - her armor though it looks like a normal kimono*
<Seraphna> * Cookie despite all her talk shows she can rock a dress, her long dark hair flowing behind her, let down from the twintails.*
<Sathen> *Jelly just hides behind Airym in tux as well, but he keeps tugging at the collar* This stuff itches...
<Xanatos`> <Valen> This shoes hurt my feet. 6* He says flatly, despite all the heel talk.
<Xanatos`> (these)
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We might find out that we can dress normally down there. But Iceheart gave us some locations to check out.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and gives her a gentle squeeze around the waist.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I feel like a sausage overstuffed in it's casing. 6He grumbles a bit then loosens the tie on his neck some more, undoing the top button.
<Sathen> *Orihime whispers some pointers on staying upright in the heels to Sabrina, smiling at her encouragingly*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You clearly overdid it then."
<Sara> <Erica> I considered that. That's why I went with business dress. It works both ways.
<DeathStar> *as they exit, the Aquarius already been given permission to land, she leads them along. The massive team walks along and soon stops at an art museum* <Taiga> We were told that this art museum does a lot of shady deals according to Iceheart and that a new owner recently took over
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And they have art exhibits and personal shows for rich patrons and other events if one can get in
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Should we like, split up?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei looks at the lists of suggestions that Iceheart gave them*
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses** We are quite the sizeable group.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well we could check out some of these other locations
<Jackieness> <Airym> "An enttourage of this size does seem suspicious."
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Yes, that, no monkey suit, I want to check out those spots.
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Well my fancy ass is going in!
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods and waves to the others* We will meet up later at the hotel you picked out
* Stretch has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well if we're going to be doing this along side the other group. It'd be best to split in groups where atleast one of those god beacons can sniff them out. 6He flicks Valen's ear
<DeathStar> *she moves off with her group. Rachael follows and Sabrina studies the art museum*
* Stretch has joined #TAW-Session363
<Sathen> *Jelly yawns into his sleeve, looking at the other group as they head off*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 6* He runs off with Lorelei.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *heads off with the God Hunter group*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt rubs the back of his head and moves after his group
<Xanatos`> 6* accepting Durt's ear flick
<Sara> <Erica> Well, guess it's business as usual, then. *she rubs the back of her head*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan moves off with Zegretta**
<Sathen> *Orihime heads off with Lorelei's group*
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Trying to find a shapeshifter in this area's going to be hard.
<Seraphna> **Cookie grins** Well, we are two separate teams.
<Sara> * Erica peers at the museum
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well. Yes. Maybe we can make connections here and work our way up. *she studies the datapad* There is a government here but it seems to be a little hands off
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It proclaims this world to be really peaceful
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And welcomes business
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Is that a lie? Feels like a lie.
<Sara> <Erica> Yes, well, it -would- say that either way.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Business is a whole other kind of battlefield.
<Sara> <Erica> But it's one we've been getting used to fighting, wouldn't you say?
<Xanatos`> 6* Pepper muses to herself and moves up to the entrance, holding the door open for the others.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Sometimes what you see is what you get though. But with what is known about the Cartel, they'res probably going to be an underbelly if we look deep enough
<Seraphna> * Cookie distracts herself by looking over Pepper with an eyebrow waggle, walking with her, then inside*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So how do you think we should approach this. *she walks in and studies the place. It is massive*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina walks in, stumbling a bit. Sometimes giving panty shots as she falls over. Yuki tries to stand in place, blocking Jelly's sight*
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Offer them something to sell
<Seraphna> *Cookie helps Sabrina up* Let the heels take your weight.
<Sathen> *Jelly follows along behind the others, not really looking around as he seems to be focusing more on his datapad*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We do not have any art pieces. Further, selling will be harder without credentuals established."
<ChadWinters> <Cel> I doubt art is the only thing they'll take to sell
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And I doubt any of us can really draw art to "sell"
<DeathStar> *she jokes*
<Sara> <Erica> We should take in the exhibits first, see what kind of things they really deal in
<DeathStar> *Sabrina nods and walks a bit better*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Does cake art count?
<ChadWinters> <Cel> But Airym is right. We'll need to start at the bottom.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "They likely are interested in something more permanent."
<DeathStar> *Taiga walks around - their art is varied. They have all sorts of art. From all worlds. Earth, Tsivrixsh, the Cartel itself. And some rare pieces. Erica even sees a rare piece of art from Geyze that was thought to be lost*
<Xanatos`> 6* Pepper offers out her arm for Cookie to take, moving about to look at art.
<Sara> * Erica frowns at that, gesturing subtly to the others
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I do not believe all of these pieces were acquired legitimately."
<DeathStar> *there is also an Erusian standing in front of a piece of art, frowning at it*
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, guessing they went on the black market and ended up being sold here...
<Seraphna> * Cookie takes it with a swoon and smiles, walking with her.
<Sara> * Erica looks to see if it's anyone they know
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a Erusian piece*
<Sara> <Erica> Guess the Erusians have had a case of this too
<DeathStar> *no. From their stance they seem to be a fighter - at leasT*
<DeathStar> *maybe special ops*
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Isn't it common in the art world?
<Sara> <Erica> So what this place wants must be illicit rare pieces, huh...
<Xanatos`> 6* Pepper tilts her head to peer at the Erusian, approaching.
<Sara> * Erica eyes Pepper, but allows her to go ahead
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> This piece seem to have left you...upset.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets hope that person is not after you know who that is on our ship
<DeathStar> *referring to the true leader of the Erusians*
<Seraphna> * Cookie low key makes with the mental scans while they get closer, but seeing it's a military type she doesn't press as they tend to be trained, so she keeps it to surface.
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "It is stolen. It is all stolen."
* kalonZombee has joined #TAW-Session363
<DeathStar> *Taiga blinks at that accusation* That is a bold calm. *she whispers* I bet the dealer would claim they only place pieces here that are lost to time or something.
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Oh my, that is a shocking accusation. 6* He says, a more 'refined' pronunciation.
<DeathStar> *claim
<ChadWinters> 6Cel moves over to a piece of art, studying it
<Sara> * Erica takes the opportunity to note down the art pieces she sees
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> But I confess, I felt that may be the case. 6* She says in a whisper, leaning forward.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *accompanies Erica, inventorying the gallery*
<DeathStar> *most of the pieces are rare, new, or otherwise. Though there are some where one could question the origins. How did they get to be here? Is it the original? A counterfeit? Is there proof of purchase?*
<DeathStar> *There is about 20 such pieces*
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "You are being too familiar."
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers around at the pieces*
<Sara> * Erica frowns slightly at the results of their inventory-taking
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Yes, I apologize. 6* She leans back.
<Sara> <Erica> I know stolen art is common, but this is more stolen art that one museum should normally have *she notes to Airym*
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Is this yours? If so I'm very sorry. If not...well I am also sorry about that as well. I'm not sure what I would do in this situation.
<Sara> <Erica> Assuming it really is stolen, of course. *she adds dryly, not convinced of the other options*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "IT would be no surprise for a Cartel world."
<DeathStar> *a woman in a very high profile outfit walks the halls, talking to people and smiling, motioning at the paintings. She seems very friendly and open, discussing paintings with them*
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "What do you want?"
<DeathStar> *having dark hair and dark eyes*
<Seraphna> * Cookie looks over curiously*
<DeathStar> *Taiga muses then turns to Erica* So do you think we should try to get on the list of -- what do people do get on the museum's lists?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Or move on?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina watches the woman, using a wall to be more steady*
<ChadWinters> 6Cel glances to Sabrina. 1"You sense anything?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> She's not a shapeshifter. If that's what you mean
<Sara> <Erica> Something is definitely shady though. Do you think that's the owner?
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> You seemed upset, I was concerned. That is simply it. I'll leave you alone. 6* She nods politely, stepping back.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I do not have sufficient data."
<ChadWinters> <Cel> I mean more this area, I guess.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> But she might be hiding something... I feel ... something maybe
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Maybe it's just these heels
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Probably. It looks like she's trying to get something from these people. I recognize that type of stance in trying to get money
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *Deadpan*
<Sara> <Erica> Cookie, do me a favor and try talking to that woman? You're the one who could best figure out if something is odd.
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor is here too. He's been here the whole time. Yup. That Gor sure can be quiet a lot.
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods a bit and walks over curiously, in a way that they'll naturally meet instead of an outright approach. She tries to look full of money.
<DeathStar> *the woman finishes with the couple and peers at Cookie and offers a smile.*
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles back, keeping her senses up, looking over at a piece of art * What do you think of this piece?
<DeathStar> *the woman's mind is slippery and hard to grasp* Ah, this piece. *she goes over the entire history, practically a book on it* It is a wonderful piece, isn't it?
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> ...quite a memory. 6* He says quietly to Erica and Yuki, looking at another piece.
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods slowly and muses * Provoking in a way, the way the lines are laid out. The artist really meant to zero you in on the scene.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Are you interested in art?
<DeathStar> *Yuki nods* I doubt I could do that.
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> I can't remember what I did this morning.
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods * It speaks to me in ways people cannot.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Oh that I can remember. Me and Erica learned a new..
<Sara> * Erica clears her throat
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... new gaming code in our video game
<Jackieness> 6* The Erusian is now watching the group.
<DeathStar> *the woman motions for Cookie to follow her* Come this way. I always love people who appreciate art. *she leads her to her office*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So what now?
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks a bit, following with curiosity. <Apparently I'm going to her office.>
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Well the woman's distracted. That could work to our benefit
<Sara> <Erica> Well, it looks like she took Cookie with her... I don't get the feeling that anything is going to go wrong, but at the same time, something is 'off' to me. Sabrina, what do you think?
<ChadWinters> 6Cel side glances the Erusian
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> I'm ready to start shooting. 6* She says to them quietly
<Sara> * Erica deadpans
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> It's hard to describe. *she shrugs* It's like she has something supressed but at the same nothing is ringing alarm bells. Kinda like I get the feeling Miss Erusian there has something more to her.
<DeathStar> *Taiga muses* I guess for now we should learn more about the museum owner and wait on what Cookie brings back?
<Sara> <Erica> I hope shapeshifters haven't just gotten better at hiding or something. *she nods to Taiga, frowning*
<Jackieness> 6* The Erusian then turns backto the 'stolen' art piece.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> It's not a bad idea.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei studies the paper as they walk
<kalonZombee> <Ler> So what's it say?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Where's our first stop, Lore?
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen has his coat off and his sleeves rolled up, he lets out a sigh of relief.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan flicks her tail about, peering around as they go.**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Just checking out a few other location. *she stops them outside a massive college* Here is suppose to be a massive campus that teaches the elite. *it has a ton of flowers and other stuff growing all year long*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Apparently a lot of students from many cultures - all rich - come here to learn. Security will likely be high.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So what do we want to do here? Get some of the school uniforms and blend in?"
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances down to each of the kids. 1"Any of your god senses pinging high?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...rich people our age? Oh no...can I go back!?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Depends on the ages. Is it a college campus?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> God-dar? Is that the term we coined for it? 6He looks at Rachael as he flicks the back of Val's head
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Godsense seems better.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> ...Rich you say?
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *peers in* I think it might be? <Lorelei> What pamplets I'm getting seems to be they teach high school and college. ... I think they might send kids here all their life to get rid of them. How mean
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Oh like of those boarding school things
<DeathStar> *Lorelei walks in and they see various buildings set up but their is also eating places and other places for the kids to spend their money*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head, "We might be overdressed now."
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Uggghh. 6* He huffs, following Lorelei
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How long before we get tackleD?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, seriously? We don't fit in now."
<DeathStar> *as they step further in the group might get a faint tickle feeling inside*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... Alright. I guess we should turn back
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...whoa..feel that?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I feel sober. Is that what you're referring to?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. I think there might be someone in there
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We need to get in and check it out."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "Well, we know where to look now, so we should prepare first."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks at Lore then the kids. 1"Guess it's time to go back to school
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I never been to school
<DeathStar> <Rachael> outside your boot camp
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...if it's anything like that just kill me now.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Same.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We taught you school lessons
<Seraphna> * Kaelan rolls her eyes* Boys...
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> At the same time as hitting you
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses* I guess I should enroll you first. *she eyes some guards slowly heading their way* Lets head back.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's because you twerps kept falling asleep during my classes!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm glad Durt was rarely my instructor
<Xanatos`> <Valen> That was you, you drunk.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, let's get the paperwork done."
<DeathStar> *rachael mumbles*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You ever think I drank beacuse you never listened to me?! 6He starts unrolling his sleeves
<DeathStar> *going back to the hotel and checking in, Lorelei leaves Durt and Valen behind to play*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You all can go back to your rooms to unwind while I do the paperwork
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler follows Lore
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen leaves after Lorelei, rolling his eyes at Durt
<Jackieness> <Moira> *goes into their room and flops on the bed*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt follows along, grumbling a bit
<DeathStar> *Rachael strips off and grabs her casual clothes while Zegretta spins in her's*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Whee
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Finally..."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles, watching her while she starts to get changed too, taking a few snapshots of Zegretta.*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Not a fan of dresses?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt changes in his room, tosses his tie on to his bed as he lets out a huge sigh of relief
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I hope this place doesn't do uniforms.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I don't know... it wasn't like when we went clubbing and I wore that dress then."
<DeathStar> *walking up to the hotel, the other team arrives* <Taiga> So Cookie got a card with a number to call that woman and mentioned a party. And hinted at a large dontation might let her join
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I hope she's not being strung along. *she enters the lobby, where Lorelei is at a table on the phone, talking to someone about sending the kids to school. She eyes her sister oddly*
<Sara> <Erica> ... School?
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles a bit* Hmm, maybe...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Do you think she got fed up with them?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances back at Valen. 1"Why wouldn't they?"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina wobbles past them all to the rooms*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps they wish to infiltrate one of the academic institutions."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I want to get out of this..
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> I hope she is being strung along.
<Sara> * Erica looks at Pepper oddly
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I'm going to take a sick day tomorrow.
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> It means she's not trying to steal my fiance!
<ChadWinters> 6Cel walks with the group. 1"I don't think you have to worry about anyone stealing her from you
<Sara> <Erica> Naturally, though, we've just gotta try to get into this party, and if it's a dead end, it's a dead end... something *is* weird, though...
<ChadWinters> <Durt> No you're not.
<Seraphna> * Cookie giggles and grins, mock whispering* I like it when she's possessive.
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Yeah...yeah you're right.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> COUGH COUGH, I've got the shits.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It would be weird if it were not weird, captain."
<Sara> <Erica> That ain't how the shits work, mate.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt rotates his shoulders a bit as he moves to the fridge, eyeing it for a minute then goes to his back pack and pulls out a beer. 1"You're about to get a case of the beat downs." 6He holds the beer out to him
<Seraphna> Cookie> I dunno, around us not weird is pretty darn weird. Rada was sane and he went running for the hills.
<DeathStar> *Rachael peers out their room at the boys anticS*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Valen
<Jackieness> <Moira> "..is he being lame again?"
<kalonZombee> <Gor> This school seems... depressing just to even read about.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> He's being 6 again
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen pauses at the beer offering, looking confused and slowly taking it.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan finishes changing and peers to Zegretta. "I've got some casual dresses if you wanna go about looking adorable."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Rada. Hmph. The Empress is probably just showing her boobs. *she hmphs.*
<DeathStar> *then talks into the phone* Yes, I'd like to enroll a lot of my kids.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Please ignore that snarky comment ago
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Here's how I know you're going to go tomorrow. Put on a uniform. 6he grabs a second beer, cracking it open and pulling a drink from it. 1"And be a good student. I know you love disappointing me. But you'll never disappoint Lore. 6He points a non-threating finger at him as he moves to a window and looks out it
<DeathStar> *Taiga turns to Erica*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So what do you think we should do? Pay to go to this private art thing?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ....oh fuck you. 6* he sighs, since it's true. He takes a drink from the beer and makes a face.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei hangs up* Your uniforms will be sent here in the morning.
<Sara> <Erica> We'll give it a shot, it's the lead we have, and those people are shady. Worst case scenario, we still may end up uncovering something.
<kalonZombee> <Gor> I mean, if you need me to, I can cover the entry fee.
<Seraphna> * Cookie stretches, "I can always play the honeypot, up until Pepper kills the target of course." *she winks*
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> I am a profressional and I can't fit my gun in my dress.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'll see if Kaori will go with the children as their guardian and keep an eye on them since she looks their age
<ChadWinters> 6Durt just let out a loud ha at Valen's response, a huge smirk on his face, reflecting off the window. 1"But you've been doing good kid. Keep trusting your instincts.
<Seraphna> * Cookie giggles and smiles.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei moves off*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta pulls Kaelan close and gives her a kiss. Rachael peers at the two and slides out of their room and down to the lobby*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Yeah...but then you all get pissed when I trust my instincts and run off.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *pats Valen's back* If you want to run off you should use the teleporter to go see your maybe girlfriend
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's my job Vale.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan is too preoccupied by kissing back to notice Rachael leaving, making happy fox noises.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Man..." *quickly changes and then heads after Rachael*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Moira's been there like 4 times for massages
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...m-massages?
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen chokes on his beer.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... She does run a place that gives them out you know
<Sara> <Erica> In any case, I'll arrange the money for you, Cookie
<DeathStar> *suddenly Kaelan would find her world go black and passing out. Zeretta blinks and screams for help*
<DeathStar> *Rachael pauses and peers up*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Yeah but now I'm thinking about her giving Moira one and now their both naked...oh look now there's oil. Do you see my problem Rach-6* He pauses looking around quickly
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... did those two kiss that much?
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen jumps to his feet and runs towards the screaming.
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler also runs for the screaming
<ChadWinters> 6Durt twists at the scream and sprints after Valen
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *She hurries after. Sabrina stumbles out of the bathroom, half dressed and flails to help*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What about them?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei moves in - carrying a certain fox*
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks at the scream, moving to investigate.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... <Yuki> ... Should we follow?
<DeathStar> *she eyes the stampede*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> What's going on!? 6* He bursts into the room.
<kalonZombee> <Gor> I think they have enough people
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Cautiously on reserve?
<Xanatos`> 6* She says to Yuki with a shrug
<Jackieness> <Moira> *runs back for their room*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta points at Kaelan unconscious* We were kissing and she just passed out. Did I kill her?!
<Sara> <Erica> Wonder what the fuck happened...
<DeathStar> *Zegretta flails*
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen blinks and moves over to check for a pulse
<DeathStar> *she is alive but in a deep, deep sleep/KO state*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves over eyeing Kaelan and he taps his ear comm. 1"Lore, get back to the room. We have a problem with Kale
<Xanatos`> <Valen> She's alive...but what the heck did you do?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Something laid her out."
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Is there any magic anywhere?
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> My kisses are toxic. *she is clearly freaking out*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina forms her magical outfit and examines her*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes Zegretta. 1"And you two still kissed?"
<DeathStar> *Zegretta is about to have a true panic attack after Durt says that*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... there is definitely something going on -- from within
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Okay, okay. Whoa. Let's step back, I don't think that's actually a thing. 6* He walks over and puts a hand on Zegretta's shoulder.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "From within?"
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Whatever this is Lore will figure it out.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves over to Zegretta, putting his hands on her shoulder. 1"She'll be fine. We'll figure this out*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> R-Really. *she calms. Lorelei studies Kaelan and tilts her head back* Hmm....
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Did she say anything before going unconcious?
<Seraphna> * Cookie moves in, scanning Kaelan with her medical pad, frowning.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... *she closes her eyes, using the Angel Link.* <Zegretta> N-No. Just complimented me. *Cookie would see something happening between Lore and Kaelan then the brain waves return back to normal, like coming out of a deep, deep sleep*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> There. Are you back, Kaelan?
<Sara> * Kaori looks between Lorelei and Kaelan
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> hmmm. *she studies*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and looks around, bewildered. "I... I saw something..."
<Xanatos`> <Valen> What'd you see?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> See, Zeg. Everything fine." 6He looks over at Kaelan, his shoulders no longer tense
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I couldn't make out who he was but... someone was trying to tell me there were more than two gods on this planet.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> ... *begins to calm down then pauses at that*
<Sara> <Kaori> That's... oddly specific and oddly relevant...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What? Who?"
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...someone...well this sounds like a shit new ability, Kae.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt crosses his arms. 1"That complicates things."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... Hm.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan rubs her head. "I dunno if it was just some crazy dream, it was really blurry and I really couldn't make him out."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Don't you guys have trouble beating 1 at a time usually?
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Well... uh... yeah.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Yes
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We might be fine if they aren't teaming up.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> My go to move is to empathize with them to wear down their defenses. I can't do that with more than one, I'm only a young lad.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Seriously though, this is bad new. Bad bad news.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well... your brain waves read fine now.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Why so many here? Don't they hate each other, more or less?"
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Not as much as we thought apparently
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We're not sure yet.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *muses* I don't remember much of the past but they would work together
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Maybe... a turf war or something...? **she sits up fully and tugs Zegretta into her lap**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think. They just had different agendas
<DeathStar> *Zegretta hugs*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Maybe they see you as a threat now
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Consider this. If they know we're coming after them. And they know that we defeated one already. Why wouldn't they team up to protect themselves
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *she gives each of them a hug*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Anyway... that was weird... sorry if I scared you Zeg... it just happened so suddenly.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Congratulations
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I-It's okay. Just don't do it again. Please
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If I can help it. I think... that person did it to me, rather than the other way around.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Well uh, I guess back to kissing... 6* He rubs his necks, stepping out.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Take it easy. And go to sleep early. All of you
<DeathStar> *she moves Kaori out* So will you supervise them?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *shrugs and walks out*
<Sara> <Kaori> Yeah...
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You have a busy day tomorrow and you'll need your wits about you.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves after Valen
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, squeezing Zegretta gently*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 10-639.5.26
<DeathStar> Location: The Hotel
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael steps out and picks up the uniform. For the boys it is nothing restrictive. It's mostly normal clothes for them. The girls though have outfits with short skirts and other stuff*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What the hell
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Pfft. This place is sexist.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Not surprised. Its a universal law, I think."
<DeathStar> *Rachael ties her bow* You want to wear it?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> What the hell indeed. Here, let's switch.
<DeathStar> *Rachael holds out her outfit* Sure
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll wear yours
<ChadWinters> 6Durt groans a bit at the two
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen hands his over to her.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *changes into the assigned uniform*
<DeathStar> *Rachael begins to put on the boys outfit*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Damn, I was gonna take you up on that offer.
<kalonZombee> 6*He shrugs and moves to change
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ...
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Oh god is this a thong. I take it back!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan fixes her skirt and flicks her tail, "Glad I could get a cut for this... otherwise these would be really embarassing."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I swear they're going to be the death of me
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Sorry bro
<ChadWinters> 6He sighs to Lore
<DeathStar> *Rachael hurries out*
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen sighs and puts it on.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well. Valen is making a statement I suppose
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Thong and all apparently. 6He rubs the bridge of his nose
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm sure it will be fine
<Sara> * She half-jokes
<DeathStar> *Zegretta spins in her uniform, enjoying it*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Yay.
<DeathStar> *she prances out*
<Sara> * Kaori looks comfortable enough in hers
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen trounces along after them
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Siiiiigh." *heads out*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan follows directly behind Zegretta, enjoying it too.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Keep an eye on them Kaori.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'll be on campus later. Since it is a college campus I might be able to pass as a student. *she notes* I just need some time to look into this possible other god.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Until then be safe
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Want my help Lore?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Sure
<Sara> <Kaori> What I'm here for. *she half-heartedly salutes*
<DeathStar> *Taiga watches them all go* <Taiga> I'm glad I'm not on that team. I'd be pulled into high school
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... again
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Show some more gusto. 6He bonks Kaori's on the top of her head.
<kalonZombee> <Gor>I was homeschooled. Was it really that bad Taiga?
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Half our team members look like high schoolers, it would be awful.
<Seraphna> * Si bounces up behind Taiga and gropes her. "You could soooo pass though!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *she muses* Well I did not have it as bad as Jennifer but yes. Yes it was.
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Though I guess you look even younger than that... 6* She says about Taiga, peering at her
<ChadWinters> <Cel> I suppose I was home schooled technically.
<Sara> * Kaori looks at Durt. "Sorry. It's just been a long time since I felt consistently happy, I guess."
<DeathStar> *Taiga makes a noise and jerks* H-Hey!
<Seraphna> * Si grins, still a teenager again herself, fuuuing.
<DeathStar> *Taiga rubs the back of her head, making a face Kaori does sometimes, especially since Ouka has been gone for years*
<kalonZombee> <Goe> "Technically?" 6*He asks Cel
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> You're like the jailbait senior who looks like an 8th grader that all the perverts have it on for.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thanks, Pepper. Thanks.
<Xanatos`> 6* Pepper smiles and winks
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I can tell. But if all you do is keep your nose in the ground, you'll miss all the new things that could make you happy.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And I just have to look slightly japanese too.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Yes. I guess you could consider my and Durt's education, home schooling.
<Seraphna> Cookie> The busty bunnygirl groping her really completes the image.
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> Help us find this shapeshifter please lolicon sensei
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm trying... a little.
<DeathStar> *Taiga arggghhs.* The next time I tinker with your armors and guns, I'm going to add something special to it
<Xanatos`> <Pepper> ! W-well now hang on a minute
<Seraphna> * Si giggles, "She's so fun to fluster."
<DeathStar> *Taiga adds a Cherylish grin*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh am I now?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt bops her head again. 1"Eyes up, always looks forward." 6He gives her a wink and moves to go with Lore
<DeathStar> *Yuki boinks her mother's head*
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Oh. My mom homeschooled me. I guess it's almost like the same thing. 6*He says to Cel, shrugging
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Okay, enough playing. We need to get our invite in place. So... here's what we're going to do...
<DeathStar> -TBC-
