<DeathStar> Location: Hotel
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga sits as she gathers art books and other material in the lobby, trying to learn about the art world
<Seraphna> * Si looks like she's doing the same, but is reading a comic.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I feel like we're getting in over our heads
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Aurica would have known this stuff better than me.
<Xanatos> <Saf> Why are these stupid things worth so much money, they're literally just throwing paint at the thing and calling it abstract!
<Seraphna> * Si fuus gently.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *turns to Saf* Do you think you can draw?
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Because some people put value behind them. 6She glances up from her datapad, having been also doing research
<Seraphna> **Cookie peers over some art, actually into the art, that was no act**
<Xanatos> <Saf> ....I bet I could draw a stick person.
<DeathStar> *Yuki muses* It's a shame we did not grab that Headmistress' servants
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Wait.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Who all here learned how to summon while we had the chance? *referring to the prison incident - allowing people to summon (even if you do not have it yet on your bio, if you have spirits you can fill it later)
<Xanatos> 6* Saf shakes her head no, that she didn't
<Xanatos> (OH this is all Pepper. Woops)
<Seraphna> * Cookie raises a hand *
<ChadWinters> <Cel> I did not. I didn't feeel it fit me.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "If you intend to attend the party, you should ensure that you look the part."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hm. I was on not on Geyze much but Kito and Neekito used to draw a lot. Did anyone learn to summon Neekito?
<Stretch`cell> *Orihime kons softly from around Taiga's neck*
<Stretch`cell> (Wait...wrong team...)
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Could we contact them for advice at least if no one can summon them?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina shrugs her shoulders* <Yuki> With the time difference it might be hard. Plus I doubt one could simply contact someone for advice on art. They live on a world without such things as art museums
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly wanders over half-asleep, almost stumbling into a chair*
<ChadWinters> <Cel> I believe that Erevis is known for her artistic nature. Could we have get a hold of her?
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses** Well I did bind with Chronos.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Shame we can't just like...download the knowledge into our heads. 6* She sighs.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> If you think you can try, I would suggest going to the PAX. It would be the only place that could deal with the time
<DeathStar> *Taiga checks the time* Can one really talk to someone about art and still understand it in person?
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly raises his head a bit* Been there...done that.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I can actually download the knowledge into my head."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I got books in front of me and it's beyond me
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps you are overthinking it."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Besides, I think the woman really just wants our checkbooks.
<DeathStar> *Taiga props her head up*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Understanding art takes a lot of study, and an ability to not think about it too hard at the same time.
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Knowledge of and understanding are two completely different things... *yawns like he hasn't slept a bit since they arrived *
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps you can switch from art expert to 'upper class twit' with too much money?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *deadpan* Thanks Airym
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway, we have a bit of time. Lets get scope the area and get ready.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I want to know what we are walking into
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am beign quite serious."
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly points at Cookie* What she said... *snerks* twit...heh
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Maybe we should see if Lorelei or any of her kiddos know anything that could help.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *nods* Alright, lets move out people. Grab your best outfits and lets go
<Seraphna> * Cookie puffs her cheeks. "I can try. My mothers were military, not upper class."
<DeathStar> *Taiga picks up her outfit, though it is bagged and moves to step out*
<Seraphna> Si> **shrugs, actually a ditzy rich girl and gets her outfit to go**
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I guess I should stay here
<DeathStar> *she notes, due to her age*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "There are many former military officers who have entered the defense industry and become wealthy. There is also prestige to having a general or an admiral in the family."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hm. Would it look odd for a girl her age to show up this type of gathering?
<DeathStar> *she asks the others*
<ChadWinters> 6Cel nods and gets up, moving to change
<DeathStar> *at this
<Seraphna> Cookie> Depends on how rich she is I bet.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I-I'm pretty poor
<Xanatos> <Pepper> She would probably stick out...yeah.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "If one is wealthy enough to appear at this event, then one can afford finishign school."
<ChadWinters> <Cel> All you have to do is look rich. 6She notes as she moves off
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I will look in on the other teams
<DeathStar> *Sabrina waves after them*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps she could stay with Lorelei's team. They are enrolling in a prestiguos academy."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Urk. I suppose I could do that.
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Dont ask me...I stand out like a sore thumb wherever I go... she could be a visiting niece from a "less wealthy" family member.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper smirks and moves off to get changed.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Lorelei walks with a mini team, scoping out the planet in a rented vehicle. Driving Kellin, Michelle, and whoever did not fit into the school team around. She jerks the wheel getting her driving skill from Cheryl*
<DeathStar> *she peers down at her lap, studying something, not paying attention*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt's head bounces off against the window causing him to wince and rub it furiously.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You're supposed to decelerate into the turn and then accelerate AFTER the apex!
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Watchtheroad!
<Seraphna> **Michelle holds onto a handle** "A-And actually watch the road."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Oh. Sorry. *she does the opposite*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> This is it, this is where my long long life ends.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets see. *She drives around a rich complex - it puts to shame some of the places on Earth - the neighborhoods are massive with nice security* Here we are.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Nope, that's my fault for zoning out. 6He rubs his head a bit then shakes it
<DeathStar> *Lorelei slows and drives normally now, peering up*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Worst case, we go mech. *she whispers to Kellin*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Wow. *cameras watch them as they drive by*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I've seen military bases with less security than this.
<Seraphna> Michelle> I've lived on a black ops base with less security than this.
<Seraphna> Michelle> ...Though to be fair that's probably why we had a monster of the week thing going on for a while there.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm rather impressed and not at all shocked. 6He stares in slight awe
<DeathStar> *some of their pools, from what they could see, look to be as big as some houses on Earth*
<Stretch`cell> *Orihime hangs around Lore's neck like always, tense and ready to open a foxhole on a moment notice to save herself*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she checks the map again* Okay. This is one of the poorer neighborhoods believe it or not
<ChadWinters> 6Durt lets out a low whistle
<DeathStar> *Lorelei drives and exits and soon enters areas where one building places, where they have their own location, not together, pointing it out. The buildings look like mansions and their area massive*
<Seraphna> Michelle> In nomine Patris....
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Hah, oppulance is gross.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Some of the richer people here
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> What government people here are in another sector and as for the working class, what little there is kept out of sight and commute. Though they are paid well too. Better than most people.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And that's how this planet operates
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So a shapeshifter or god could be in any location - though I think the rich have more power than the government here
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Technically the rich has more power than government on earth too.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> It's just not as open as this.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt poitns at Kellin. 1"Man's got a point.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Really? I suppose so
<Stretch`cell> *Orihime fuu's from Lore's neck *
<DeathStar> *She nods* Mom used to have a lot of money before she had to burn through it on base after base getting blown up
<DeathStar> *Lorelei heads back to the hotel*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Huh...Never thought about where my money came from. 6He muses a bit
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I don't think I've ever had so much as a bank account.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Chad whores his weapons out
<DeathStar> *she notes*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Speaking of which, he needs his money for this months whoring. 6He holds his hand out
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I just mooch off those far wealthier. 6* He thumbs towards Lorelei
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Oh you two.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Dad was Admiral before becoming a Senator so... we were pretty well off.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei turns and eyes them with a dark look behind her blue eys*
<DeathStar> *still driving*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You're drifting....DRIFTING! 6* He points
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We got company?
<Seraphna> * Michelle sighs, still worried since Peter was amongst those who got replaced by shifters.
<Stretch`cell> *Orihime vibrates soothingly around Lore's neck*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *turns back* Anyway, if you want money, I'd ask Erica or Taiga. What little I got is for the kids
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> For when this is over
<ChadWinters> 6Durt waves his hand dismissively. 1"I'm doing it for the kids."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'm doing it because I'm bored otherwise!
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You two.
<DeathStar> *she smiles though and lands*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So where do you think we should begin our search?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> For this "third" God?
<Seraphna> Michelle> Maybe the cream of the crop. These gods enjoy comfort no?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks around curiously, though he does pause when he noticed Michelle, placing his hand on her knee before he looks back out again.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei hmmms. She begins to look into the richest people on the planet*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, I will begin this. In the meantime
<DeathStar> *she holds up something for Michelle*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Here you go
<Seraphna> **Michelle blinks, taking it**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Thinking maybe Angelus?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Was Angelus big on...wealth?
<DeathStar> *it's a school girl outfit and a teacher outfit*
* kalonZombie has joined #TAW-Session364
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You can choose which you'd like to try to wear around campus
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Angelus?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Royalty is just another word for wealth right?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. Angelus was a weird one.
<Seraphna> * Michelle tilts her head, looking to Kellin* Whatcha think? School girl or teacher?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she tries to recall the files on him*
* Stretch`cell has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Going on our list, it's the only one that openly fits.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Slightly older looking student or very young looking teacher. Conundrum.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It is possible. *she also picks up Ori*
* Stretch`cell has joined #TAW-Session364
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Swell. And us without our gay monk.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It is possible. *she also picks up Ori*
<DeathStar> *and stuffs her into an outfit as well*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm not familiar with the others ones honestly. Unless there's some huge underground fight fing.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Oooh, posh fight ring would be dope
<Stretch`cell> *Orihime squeaks at being stuffed into an outfit*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, you gotta spend money on something.
<Seraphna> Michelle> I tell yah, this long youth stuff is both a blessin' and a curse.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You'll be back up for Michelle
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Man if it's not a posh fight ring I'm going to be dissappointed.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Fingers crossed Kelling.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei pushes Ori and Michelle out* Alright here's a map to the school. I'll let Kellin join you later to admire your outfitd
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> If it's a fighting ring we might have a chance if we can find that Tanan guy, go pick him up, come back, and then let him fight
<Seraphna> Michelle> Righto. *she sighs* I'll let yah know how the kids are doin.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei turns to the others* Alright. For now, I'll borrow you a little longer.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Then we'll all check on the kids
<Stretch`cell> *Orihime shrugs and ruffles her hair before following after Michelle*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei checks the watch then drives off, barely avoiding a few people on the street*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'm driving next time!
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Sorry, sorry, I keep looking down
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *rewinding back in time a bit*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael checks her classes, still in her male uniform and sits in class. The huge college campus massive and Lorelei signing all of the kids in classes they'd enjoy being in. Rachael seems to have her first class in college orientation - all of them are in it, but from there they will spread out into classes that will be of interest to them*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits with Zegretta, looking pleased as punch.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm, after this I have archery... then poetry and history after that and some strange class I don't really understand. Something about Runes.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Runes?"
<DeathStar> *Zegretta eyes her's* I have Royality... and things to do with leadership. Posture. History later. English...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That's what it says.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> What kind of college teaches posture?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Finishing schools.
<DeathStar> *Mireille eyes her classes, fascinated*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen yawns, adjusting his skirt.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers at her own schedule and muses.
<DeathStar> *Rachael eyes Valen's list* Why does a lot of your classes have to do with boy stuff?
<Xanatos> <Valen> What? I have pottery too! But like why wouldn't I take Introduction to lasers?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler peers at his list as well
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> ...I have home ec, for some reason.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm more wondering about the 'runes' thing."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... maybe Lorelei is sending you a messagr, Leruste?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Why does everyone pick on me?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah, the message is to get in touch with your fucking sensitive side. Bake a cake or some shit.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What are you talking about? I pick on Valen way more.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You set yourself up."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I meant like... the universe, Kaelan.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> It's like I'm the comic relief of the universe or something.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe you're just a crybaby and get the same amount of shit as like...all of us.
<DeathStar> *the teacher comes in - they get no vibes off of him. He looks bored and goes through the stuff. The rules of the college, how they expect great things from them. He ignores some of the students cutting up and talking in the corner - they look rich and the rest of the class seems to ignore or shy away from them*
<DeathStar> *they give off an air of money*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slowly pulls a sucker and watches the teacher talk.
<DeathStar> *one of the rich kids eye Valen and eyes him up and down and points him out and they laugh, while one of the girl seems to smile, perhaps liking his fashion statement*
<DeathStar> *after 30 mins the class ends and they have 20 mins until their next classes, while others have more*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, my next class is on the other side of campus, so see you. *she heads off*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Mine is near by so I will hang out.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler looks to see where his next one is
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hah, check this class out. 'Music Listneing'. How'm I going to fail listening to music?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan stretches a bit and gets up. "Mine's close by too." *she peers at Valen* "Don't fall asleep."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You fall asleep because its music that you find boring?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan fist bumps Moira*
<DeathStar> *the map shows that all sports classes are on the other side; all true classes like english/history/etc are in this building. All rich people classes are in Building B next door. All classes like Home Ec are in Building C. and all weird classes like Runes are in Building D*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Pfft, if you can sit through Dirt's dumb lecture you can sit through paint drying.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...though I guess I should go or I'll be late. 6* He moves for the music hall.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Maybe there's hypnosis involved, woogy boogie boogie
<DeathStar> <Mireille> You want to go with me to your home Ec class?
<DeathStar> *she asks Leruste*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Sure, would be nice.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta walks with Valen since her classes are in B too*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Posture classes. I hope I can do this
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Well, I'm going to head next door to get 'finished'. Ciao, bella." *stands and heads out to building B*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh you'll be fine. You've always had an 'air' about you.
<DeathStar> *the music classes in this school are very ... very expansive. Since the students in this school seem to put a lot of effort into it as there's a lot of instruments*
<DeathStar> *Mireille peers at Leruste* So you want to learn to cook?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I think it was put on there as a joke... but I mean... it's always a good skill to have, I hear.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan separates to go to a class, looking a bit shy about it. Fashion design.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta smiles at Valen* Thank you
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Good luck
<DeathStar> *she steps into her class*
<Xanatos> <Valen> You too. 6* He stretches and moves for his class.
<DeathStar> *Mireille enters Home Ec, too.* Now I can learn to cook without poisoning the ship
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Always nice.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *heads into 'Modeling 101'*
<DeathStar> --TIME JUMP
<DeathStar> *after their first round of classes the team meets up for lunch*
<DeathStar> *where they also spot what looks to be Michelle and Ori and oddly an adult looking Sabrina in student clothing*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *sits* Archery was fun. Also managed to finish a second class. What about you all?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Introduction to Lasers has nothign to do with acutual lasers. It's fucking...science.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> ...I somehow burned cereal and milk.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Music Listening was...was...whatever the hell BLUEGRASS is.
<DeathStar> <Mirirelle> My cooking cake overran the room
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Either I'm... ... ..." *smacks Valen on the back of the ehad* "Either I'm studying to be a model or a trophy wife."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Aw man I'd kill to be a trophy wife.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Posture hurt after 30 mins but Leadership was fun. I learned a lot
<DeathStar> *Rachael rubs Moira's back*
<DeathStar> *the white haired woman that looks like Sabrina sits at their table*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks at the smack and scowls.
<DeathStar> *looking to be 20ish*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Paying all this money to come to these classes. Like what even is the point?
<DeathStar> <Sabrina???> Feeling out a god?
<DeathStar> *she eats the food here happily*
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...why does she look different? 6* He points to Sabrina.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Lasers ARE science."
<DeathStar> *Rachael pauses, peering* She looks bigger and has breasts
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Cool science.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Sure. Sure. But I want to shoot the lasers, not learn about their...their...well I fell asleep but it was boring.
<DeathStar> (silver hair even)
<Seraphna> **Michelle shrugs** Magic? How're ya'll doin?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits with Zegretta and peeks at a book on fashion.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Yes. It is is a tiring spell. *she lets it drop and looks young again*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Whew. *she keeps eating*
<DeathStar> *her clothes all big on her now*
<Stretch`cell> *Orihime slowly makes her way around the cafeteria area, making small talk and friendly flirting with people but not sticking around to get hot on in return *
<Xanatos> <Valen> School sucks and I haven't got the faintest fart of a god.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well we have a few more classes.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> But unless the god is a student, there's a lot of classes here...
<Seraphna> * Kaelan muses* Sometimes we've had to be pretty darn close. I have a feeling classes in that weird building might get us results.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Joy. If I don't feel one out I'm gonna skip tomorrow.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Rachael has a class in there."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Do I have a class in there? What was the building again?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I have rune next.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So I can tell you if I feel anything
<Seraphna> * Kaelan checks to see if she has an D building classes*
<Seraphna> Michelle> I'll stick nearby if yer alone.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I have fencing next... its almost unfair."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen also checks his schedule.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan plays with Zegretta's tail as she reads her schedule again.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler checks his schedule as well
<DeathStar> *Class D seems to be mystic things, classes on the unexplained, magic a little, rising topics the Cartel is looking into. Lorelei would give them classes in it if the character might be interested in it*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta squeeks*
<DeathStar> *Building D seems to be the classes one takes to just pad out your schedule*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I have a class in there tomorrow. But I'm done for the rest of the day so I can go to with you just so you're not alone.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *eyes her schedule* I got a lot in there.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *stands up* "I need to get going to get to the sports building."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Good luck. *she muses* Hm. I'm wondering if we don't run into the god if we might need tomorrow to start asking around
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Any weird teachers in the last year
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sneaks a kiss to Zegretta's neck as she gets up. "Me too."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Though.. *she eyes all the preppy students* It might be hard
<Jackieness> <Moira> *puts away her tray and heads out to her next class*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers over* I... might actually be able to handle them.
<DeathStar> *she eyes Ori making friends* Maybe
<Xanatos> <Valen> I guess I could stop making a statement and start trying to...make a friend.
<Xanatos> <Valen> A shitty, snobby friend.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan shrugs and heads after Moira, having to also have fencing. Because swords.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> How does Ori do it? Promises of sex?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Basically.
<DeathStar> *she asks, watching Ori move about the area*
<Seraphna> * Michelle sighs *
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> She can be very persuasive.
<kalonZombie> 6*He says as if he knows firsthand
<Stretch`cell> *Orihime just keeps flirting and moving from table to table, smiling and joking easily *
<DeathStar> *Rachael and Zegretta turn to sare*
<DeathStar> *at Leruste*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> What?
<Seraphna> * Michelle stares too, as the judgemental adult*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *jiiiiiiii - stare*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> What?!
<Seraphna> Michelle> Am I gonna have tah keep an eye on you bucko?
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Pervert.
<DeathStar> *she moves off*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> What did I do?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Leruste... *she shakes her head and moves off*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> See Valen? This is what I was talking about.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina keeps eating, but is staring at Leruste, too*
<Seraphna> * Michelle sighs and decides to tag along with Rachael, red heads gotta stick together.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You stick your dick in someone and then act non-chalantly about it.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Casual sex leads to bad things
<DeathStar> *she nods, then goes into adult form* You should wait for true love~ *she poses and moves off*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't care, but they do. 6* He shrugs and moves off after Rachael and Michelle.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> ...Who said anything about that? What? I just- 6*He sighs and pokes at his tater tots
<DeathStar> *meanwhile, Ori gains a lot of "friendship" points amongst the student body*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Taiga Team
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga scopes out the location that was given them and studies the area,
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. *she studies some sensors* Okay. The party begins soon so we do not have a lot of time. *she eyes the building on the sensors*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Nothing too unusual inside. We need a god detector on our team later
<Seraphna> Si> I'm right here.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Is our focus on finding a God or any shapeshifters
<kalonZombie> <Gor> I mean... I'm part kitsune, I kinda detect gods. I think.
<DeathStar> *Taiga checks Si's teeth and other stuff*
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Granted most of the time the only god I can detect is Ama...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay.
<Seraphna> Si> I'm marked by Lore. Since we helped raised the kids.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I looked up a quick guide about art. It basically says....to make it up. Read too much into it and have the confidence that what you see if truth.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay, when we gt into the party get close to everyone. They might lead us to the god. We might need to work our way up the food chain
<ChadWinters> <Cel> So baffle them.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We know that questionable paintings are being sent here.
<Seraphna> * Si nods and smiles.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If there isn't a god, then shapeshifters.
<Seraphna> * Cookie stretches. "It's shifters we still have problems detecting."
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Yeah talk about techniques, like how the art was made, what it means existentially, and nail down any political meanings.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Looks clear. Lets go
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves to the gathering. There's a bounces in place*
<DeathStar> *bouncer
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper walks along after her.
<Seraphna> * Si and Cookie, both dressed to party like the rich move along. Si puts on the full bunny charm while Cookie has her invitation.
<DeathStar> *the bouncer takes the invitation, eyes Cookie, then it* You may go inside with your guests
<DeathStar> *he steps aside*
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor is with Si, dressed to impress as well
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles and leads them in. "Thanks."
<ChadWinters> 6Cel moves with the group, her hair up
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves in her black dress while Yuki moves in a blueish one*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper wears a red dress similar to the one she wore the last time.
<DeathStar> *there seems to be a lot of rich people, wining and dining, and a person moves around with a tray of drinks to take something off of and another with food. They are all mingling and admiring the art and talking to each other about certain things*
<kalonZombie> <Gor> <...Amaterasu, I hate these kind of rich people.>
<Seraphna> * Si helps herself to a bit of food and starts mingling, keeping her sense tuned. Cookie grabs a glass of wine and sips, peering over some art and letting her sixth sense detect surface thoughts for any leads.
<DeathStar> *the woman from before moves over to Cookie and the others*
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor grabs the vegetarian options for food, staying with Si
<Jackieness> 6* The female Erusian from the gallery is present at the party, wearing a glossy black dress. She also sports a necklace with violet gemstones that matches her violet eyes. Granted, she would stand out with her blue azure tone either way.
<ChadWinters> 6Cel glances around, looking at various arts that are hanging out, her posture looking like it belongs here
<DeathStar> <Lady> I'm so glad you could come. I'm Linda by the way. *she tells the others in case they did not hear her name*
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles softly. "I'm happy to be here."
<DeathStar> *Taiga downs a wine bottle and puts it back on the tray*
<DeathStar> <Linda> I hope you feel at ease and feel free to to talk and mingle. *she touches Cookie's arm and moves off to talk to some other guests. A few older rich people move over to the team*
<DeathStar> <Woman> I do love these events. Seeing some of the art before others is nice and getting to bid on some art for charity is so lovely
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods a bit as she goes, sipping her drink and peering around again.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper flares slightly in jealousy at the arm touch.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> I enjoy the challenge of understanding what the artist is trying to convey in their work.
<Seraphna> Cookie> <No worries babe, our bond is unbreakable.>
<Jackieness> 6* The Erusian woman then moves over toward the group as well, holding a wine glas between her fingers.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Oh? *she peers at the art that Cel is looking, tilting her head and studying it* And what do you see, my dear?
<DeathStar> *Taiga downs another glass*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *wanders with Si - so far neither is getting a hit*
<Seraphna> ** Si pinches Taiga's butt as she passes and smiles, continuing to sense out**
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper sees the erusian approach and clears her throat, taking a drink of whatever she grabbed.
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "Are you ready to tell me what you want yet?"
<kalonZombie> <Gor> The art's pretty nice, I'm looking at that piece over there. 6*He points to one
<ChadWinters> <Cel> It's hard to say, since it's always just jecture. But this one while beautiful says there's pain behind each stroke.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Sorry, what?
<DeathStar> *the woman peers at the Erusian, half hearing what she said, but then peering at the others - not wnating to be rude*
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "From before. You are not here to look at pretty pictures."
<DeathStar> *peering at Gor's piece as well*
<Xanatos> 6* Peppers steps to side, waiting for the Erusian to follow her if she so chooses.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Urk! *she jerks with her third glass, peering about*
<Jackieness> 6* The Erusian turns and moves after Pepper.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *rubs her butt* I think we covered everyone. No hits
<Xanatos> <Pepper> We are investigating the cartel. 6* She says under her breath.
<Seraphna> **Cookie keeps on mingling, keeping a mental bead on her pilot.**
<DeathStar> <Woman> Well, yes. *she explains the piece and hit's history - not really going into the art's looks*
<DeathStar> *at that moment Linda goes on stage* The moment you all have been waiting for is here. *she smiles*
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Interesting.
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor nods and listens, then looks to Linda
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "Mmmm-hmmm." *sips from her glass and then glances at the stage*
<Seraphna> **Cookie peers over, sipping her wine**
<ChadWinters> 6Cel looks to the stage
<DeathStar> <Linda> *she has a helper bring some pieces on stage* The same person who has been generously donating lately has provided some pieces once more. They could not attend tonight. *there is awwws and sad voices* But she wanted us to bid just the same. *she holds up some fluff art pieces - not really worth that much and there's many copies of them out there* Now who would like one of these on their wall? *she has her helper hold it and a few of the guests begin to call out high numbers for a painting of a butterfly*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Wonder who this person is.
<DeathStar> *Yuki looks for a pamplet*
<ChadWinters> 6Cel glances to the lady that was talking to her. 1"Do you know who this provider is?
<Seraphna> **Cookie watches, a bit surprised at the bids for such art**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Who...is this art by?
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "I have no idea." *sips from her glass* "The nouveau riche and their money are easily parted."
<DeathStar> *the woman begins to name the artist and when it was created, and details as they bid*
<DeathStar> *apparently it was created somewhere in the Cartel, around 20 years ago*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Is this the same group responsible for the art I saw you looking at?
<kalonZombie> <Gor> I honestly have no clue...
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "The piece I was looking at was Erusian." *sips again* "Seeing it for ale on a gallery wall offended me."
<Jackieness> sale
<DeathStar> *it sells and it she lifts up another piece and so it goes. This time a common piece Erusian piece*
<DeathStar> *she lists how many are out there, who painted it, and when*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper glances to her reaction when she realizes it's Erusian.
<DeathStar> *it shows the skies of one of their worlds*
<DeathStar> *Yuki finds a pamplet of who is providing these paintings*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Ah. Here we go
<DeathStar> *Yuki joins her mother and the others*
<Jackieness> 6* The Erusian remains expressionless and just sips from her glass.
<DeathStar> *it sells for a decent price* <Woman> Remember a decent amount of this will go to charity and other organizations. Thank you all for your time.
<kalonZombie> <Gor> <"Decent" amount. Feh.>
<DeathStar> *as the evening begins to wrap up and the groups talk about what decent deals they made, Yuki shows the pamplet*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I think we might have a lead. Si did not get a hit here so they all are not the gods - might be shifters
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Want me to get into the cameras and see if I can spot anything?
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper politely tells the Erusian goodbye and moves to meet back up with the group.
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "Hmmmm..." *sets the glass on a side-table and moves toward the group again*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> But the person who provided the paintings is someone called Nasami Ed I think. The last name might be smudged.
<DeathStar> *she eyes her pamplet*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Either way I think it's a woman
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Let's talk about it back at the hotel.
<Seraphna> Cookie> The name does sound feminine.
<DeathStar> *Taiga peers up* I guess we wouldn't get an address out of here since we did not buy anything
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright lets head back and plan our next move. *she peers at the Erusian* Hello
<DeathStar> *she sips her wine*
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "Well... I knew you weren't just here to rub elbows with the overpuffed locals."
<DeathStar> *Taiga peers at Pepper*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *then at the other rich people who are glancing their way* Lets bring her along before we make a scene
<Seraphna> Cookie> Yep, come along.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper gives a slight shrug
<ChadWinters> <Cel> It was a pleasure talking to you. 6She bows to the lady and moves with her group
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "Yes, let's."
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper goes to leave.
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> *from here on out Pepper gets those annoying art ads on her datapad*
<DeathStar> Would you like to buy illegal art?
