<DeathStar> 6* The team, after making a shaky alliance with the winter God Solistice, have been searching out the other God, Di'Mantha, Mother of the Gods, to see if they can learn more about her and possibly use her as a weapon against the most dangerous one, Manus Dei. So far their searching has been watching the manor where Dei resides but it seems Di'Mantha does not go there often, meaning they have had to spread out and try to feel her, which ahs been difficult
<DeathStar> 6* Though they believe they have begun to feel a faint god presence in an area of the city that might be her.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta has a collar and leash on Kaelan, per Lorelei's orders*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan is a mixture of deeply worried and embarrassed**
<DeathStar> *Zegretta lifts her hand* Sit. *she seems to be actually training Kaelan like a dog.*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan squeaks and huffs, but sits**
<DeathStar> *Rachael slowly brings food to her lips, watching the two. Zegretta pats her head and feeds her a treat*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Good girl
<Seraphna> **Kaelan flusters** This is humiliating.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, *she peers around everyone at the table in the room* Let us update eveyone on what we have learned so far
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> I can't tell if this is kinky or a violation of basic human freedoms.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "... ... ...this is f*cking kinky as sh*t."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Language, Moira.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I am training Kaelan's body to obey commands. *she nods* That way if the god takes over and fails to do so, I'll know
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... I'd think there would be easier ways to know
<Seraphna> **Kaelan huffs a little**
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Honestly leaning towards the latter...
<Sara> <Kaori> Besides, what if it just wisens up to it?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And really, this isn't subtle at all."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Well, what do you suggest if he takes over? There are no indications other than a feeling at times
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> We do not know if he will have Kaelan's memories or not. But I imagine no God will... *holds out hand* Shake
<Xanatos`> 6* Kellin and Valen both listen for now, neither having much to add yet.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Do that.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Pizza box trap.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shakes Zegretta's hand**
<DeathStar> *Zegretta pats her head and feeds treat* <Rachael> Anyway. I have learned a few things. I asked Zegretta to look into it for me. *she sets the main book they got from Sol*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> *sighs and droops her ears*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The runic book is an language that we cannot read. It looks a bit like some of the progentic words on the PAX ship many of us grew up on
<DeathStar> *she opens it* <Rachael> So unless we have a Progenitor read it for us, we can't learn much about it
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> So it's a bust?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks** So we need to go to the PAX or to Geyze?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So Rachael and I were talking and we need to find a Progenitor, yeah."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I contacted Ulieah. She will ask this Empress when she has time to look at the book
<DeathStar> *will contact
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> But that'll be when we get on the Aquarius
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods, squirming** She doesn't know about the other thing right?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Do we want to give the Empress access to something potentially powerful?
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Well, do you know of another Progenitor?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei peers at Kellin*
<Seraphna> * Michelle pats him consolingly.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Erevis. Kellin. That Destiny fellow. Drasek.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well if Kellin was ever taught the ancient language give it to him
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> If not we'll figure it out
<Jackieness> <Moira> *looks at Kellin* "Do you know hwo to read this?" *reaches over to tap the book*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Meanwhile, we think we know where Di'Mantha is located. *she points at a section of the city* Kellin and Durt helped me narrow it down to here. It's a strange place to be. It's the area of the city where the best term could be middle class could be used. Even though the middle class here is still richer than most.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I felt a signature there.
<Xanatos`> 6* Kellin hmms and checks the book to see if he can read it.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So.... is she living there or just visiting?"
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> No, I was never taught this stuff. Not being an og and all.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Og?
<Sara> <Kaori> "Original gangsta"?
<Sara> * She makes a weird face
<Seraphna> Michelle> Original Generation.
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> Original Gangster. Like full blooded progentiros.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well the only words I think I reognize is .. *she points at* Power. Source. And maybe a few. And that is due to the PAX's words being displayed
<Seraphna> ** Kaelan listens, deep in thought still. Leaning against Zegretta a bit**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I guess it's up Lore really. I just think finding out without her find out would be the best for everyone
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well, you all thought we should turn Di'Mantha. We could just go there and kill her
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Our ride took off, so how will we get one of those nerds to help us read this?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *sits back* What does everyone want to do?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We hold onto it until they come back.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I want to do this peacefully! We're not a bunch of cold blooded killers!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'm more in the camp of trying to make as many friends with them as we can than ever. **she sighs a bit**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Oh right. Di'. I think it couldn't hurt to talk to her. I wish we had some leverage to use to put at odds with Manus
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You do know that unlike your girlfriend each of those Gods probably took over their host unwillingly.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah... I know I don't wanna be a host but it still seems like it'll happen.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Her power position relative to Manus Dei could be inverted without hubby around to back her."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses on Gartareh* Lets go talk to Di'Mantha and learn more. Is Tareh back. Or has he not been reborn yet.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei rises* Okay class. We're going to find her. And find out her stance.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So how will we play this?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We know that Di'Mantha and Manus Dei are at odds. Mantha seems to want no one hurt but wants funds
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Correct?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> OR at the least, does not approve of torturing
<Seraphna> **Michelle nods**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The do not play with your food approach
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> An approach I appreciate more than the other one, anyway
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Manus Dei is making mind slaves and on the side is enjoying some sick torturing after taking their will
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Rubbing Mantha wrong
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> And the third one, Sol, will not aid us unless the school is threated
<ChadWinters> <Durt> But she's allowing it to happen as long as she doesn't kill them. So that would say she's not strong enough to stop her.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We don't know what their long term goals even are."
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen sighs, looking frustrated.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So that means we need to approach Di'Mantha to learn more and keep her off balance
<Seraphna> Michelle> And there's a chance if Manus is hurtin' the elite, she's hurtin' the parents of her children.
<Seraphna> **the school's children
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's a possibility.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes. Lets go. *she steps out*
<Xanatos`> 6* Kellin stands and adjusts his coat sleeves before stepping out. Valen pushes himself up looking sour and stomps out.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blushes a bit and sticks close to Zegretta so the leash doesn't show. Michelle moving along with Kellin.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt rises up and stretches as he moves with the group
<DeathStar> *after an hour or so travel, the team arrives at a household that Lorelei and the others scoped out - a decent sized house with a decent yard. It is gated with a 5 foot fence and inside strange plants grow, showing Di'Mantha is definitely the Spring Goddess, and being Spring it seems Di'Mantha should be at the height of her power*
<DeathStar> *the plants grow all through the front, side, and back yard around the house - though it's not large she's made use of the space there*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses, peering at Kaori*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Dang, she should quit her day job and become a landscaper.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Interesting.
<DeathStar> *Rachael eyes all the color in the yard - it's quite beautiful*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *undoes the leash but leaves the collar*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Kaori, we might need your fire power
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> I wonder how many of these plants will warn her of intruders?
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> That's a thing, isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well probably.
<Sara> <Kaori> Might, or do? *she clarifies, pulling out her cannon*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I suppose there's one way to find out. 6He moves to the gate, eyeing it
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Soooo... you're goignt o just burn it down then?"
<Sara> <Kaori> I guess we'll see.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We might need to. She does have an explosive attack. I'm keeping it in the back of my mind. Di'Mantha is at the height of her power
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And we cannot avoid the plants unless we foxhole
<Sara> <Kaori> I'll make sure to be ready if you tell me to use it.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "She's suppsoed to be... but is she really? Something is kind of off about this..."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan scratches her head**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If she is at the height of her power then why does she look like she's not in a position of power over Manus.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Dei must be even stronger
<Seraphna> Michelle> Which is the odd part... Di'Mantha was the second in command in the past. So how is Manus stronger?
<DeathStar> *the gate does nothing, since Durt is on the other side*
<DeathStar> *it looks unlocked*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I wish I could remember more.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Same.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> But only when it comes to beating them
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The rest I could do without
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well let's find out. 6He reaches to grab the gate and then swing it open.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks down and for once doesn't seem so interested in speculation.**
<DeathStar> *The gate opens, but the path through all the flowers is about 25 feet*
<DeathStar> *not a super large yard*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> ...Should we beware the grass?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Blades of grass could be literal..."
<DeathStar> *the grass shimmers in the wind in response*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Next you're all gonna be worried about Doors or something.
<DeathStar> *is has 3 HP but it's armor is Reality class*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves along the path towards the front door, keeping mind of the plants slightly
<DeathStar> *as Durt begins to move, the plants shoots out almost tentacles and begins to bound Durt up*
<DeathStar> *pulling him toward the plant field*
<DeathStar> *spreading his legs and arms apart so he cannot react*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt stops as the wrap him up. 1"Ok, this is just uncalled for.
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler runs over, pulling out a sword to cut at the grass
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Ha!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wow, I figured this type of stuff would happen to me, not Durt."
<Seraphna> Michelle> Plant monsters that attack men. Truly we live in a new age.
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> So, I'm not going in there.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well let's not over react. They're probably just defensive.
<DeathStar> *as, uh Leruste attacks the grass, dropping it's HP down, the flowers shoot out vines to wrap up Leruste in another direction*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe we should have just tried ringing the door bell."
<DeathStar> *pulling him toward another set of plants*
<Seraphna> **Michelle snaps pictures** Who's overreating?
<kalonZombee> 6*If his player is able to he burns a speed to dodge them???
<DeathStar> *Durty meanwhile is losing some of his armor*
<DeathStar> *Leruste dodges one set of vines, but with so many plants - another set begins to come in quickly*
<DeathStar> *and another set*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt doesn't seem to fight back against the vines, as much as readies himself incase things get life threatening. 1"Well, I'd like this to end. Might as well yell out for her."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No no. We're fine
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We'd like to watch a bit longer
<Seraphna> MIchelle> Such progressive tentacles.
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler tries to cut again before trying to run away from the vines, burning another speed to do so
<Seraphna> *Kaelan seems to cheer up at this turn of events*
<DeathStar> *Leruste escapes out of the garden to the others. Rachael turns to Leruste. * Boo. BOOOO
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *looks half-tempted to push him back in*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Don't you dare.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> It wasn't me this time. 6* He says in disbelief
<Seraphna> Michelle> Interesting... **she eyes Valen, then the other two, comparing and contrasting**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, there was something exciting about this..."
<DeathStar> *Durt is dumped back out after losing his weapons, armor and other stuff - left in his under clothes*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> See? It dumps you back out. *She puts her hands on his back*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> I tried to save you, you know.
<Seraphna> Michelle> So it's a robber plant that enjoys moleting males. Interesting.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *to Kaori* I guess we will have to burn it unless we wish to be left with nothing
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances down, wearing only boxers right now. 1"And almost get captured in the process. No need to jump in so quick.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well she has to know we are here. Can we foxhole 25 feet?
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> We let that damn horny rabbit guy go, he coulda done it...
<Sara> * Kaori eyes the antics
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> How nice were the stuff you got stolen?
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Wait where's his sister?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Enough of this. 6He sighs a bit as he moves to stand at the gate now. 1"Eh. I wasn't attached to them. Clear.yt 6He cups his hands around his mouth. 1"Di'Mantha. We wanna talk!"
<Sara> <Kaori> So, what, should I or shouldn't I?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei lifts her hand* Let the naked man do his play
<Sara> <Kaori> You got it.
<DeathStar> *A voice can be heard - perhaps from the house, perhaps from the plants* And why would I wish to speak from you who hunt us? Yes, word us spread
<Seraphna> MIchelle> Well did word spread that we like to chat first before deciding to hunt?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well that's the wrinkle we have. We'd like to find out where you stand in all this and whether it's worth hunting you, or working with you.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Lets se if Durt can charm a god like I could. 6* He whispers, heh heh-ing at himself.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Our existence is at odds with what you stand for. *the door stands and Di'Mantha stands there. Her hair brings about the feeling of spring almost - and seems to be different for each person if you were to ask them. Blonde? Perhaps*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I totally spend more time with her than you do, Valen."
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> *she does not move from the front porch* Speak then. But know that my plants can reach you still
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Can you give Durt his pants back at least, first?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm aware what your plants are capable of. 6He holds his hands out, showing himself in his skivies
<DeathStar> *she seems to be trying to make herself look taller, but she seems to be a little short, not Taiga short*
<DeathStar> *Di'Mantha makes a bland look and clothing smacks Durt and Leruste in the face almost*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Thank you.
<Jackieness> <Moira> snrrks.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *snrrks*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei studies the layout, wondering the best way to have Kaori bring down fire*
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> My time is not infinite. What do you wish?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt winces slightly and grabs his clothes, putting them on. 1"Thanks. So from what we've gathered. You and Manus are...in a tenuous partnership
<DeathStar> *She makes a sour face and something else*
<Seraphna> MIchelle> We can't help but notice your far more... nonlethal approach to matters compared to others.
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> So you were the spies we felt that day and those she lost. She has been looking for her missing toys
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm not a big fan of being tortured for pleasure.
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> I'd leave this planet then
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> If she gets her hands on you, you would not enjoy it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And if she chooses to not hold back as you've asked?
<Sara> * Kaori keeps an eye on Lorelei, one hand on her cannon
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> ... I imagine she is not. I only hope that I can one day soon be away from such a creature like her
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And what if we helped you with that?
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Sounds like you're not too keen on most of the other gods.
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> When did I say that? *she peers at Leruste* I imagine most other Gods are not keen on me. I once held many of their fates in my hands. A word spoken in my husband's ear and their rank would fall
<Seraphna> Michelle> What changed?
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> *smiles a crooked smile*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *whispers* "I knew it... hubby doesn't back her right now."
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> You have the Angel next to you and yet you do not know what happened.
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> Your familiar faces have returned and you do not know what happened
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> All we're interested in, is making sure that what happened before in that other world isn't repeated here. You want to carve out a niche of the world for yourself, awesome, just no hurting people in the process. So we want to stop Manus for sure, you...we're a bit more ambilient on because we want to know more about your goals, what you want in this world.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances back at the team. 1"I think she's talking abotu you guys."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks, thinking** You... you turned against him in the end, didn't you?
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> I mean... we didn't bring Tanan this time so...
<DeathStar> *Di'Mantha sems on the verge of saying something about the past, but peers at Kellin*
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> You want to bring down Dei fine. But I cannot help you that much. *she seems to think*
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> I might can give you an opening but nothing more.
<DeathStar> *she turns to go back into her house*
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> ...I wonder if I just ruined something. 6* He rubs his chin
<Seraphna> Michelle> An opening is better than nothin'.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Is she inviting us inside? 6He eyes the plants cautiously
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> Then I will contact you when the time comes.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> I don't think so.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Thank you, Di'Mantha!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I think she means that we're done here and to leave her alone."
<DeathStar> *she peers back at the others, and Kaori especially, shutting the door*
<Sara> * Kaori raises an eyebrow
<Sara> <Kaori> She kinda gave me an odd look...
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. I think she remembers the past better than most of the Gods strangely
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs and rubs the back of her head again**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Many have claimed like Dusk not to
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Or she was purposefully reminded of it.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well that went well atleast.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Y'all need some manners.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I didn't do anything."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I do not think we will learn anything more unless we push the issue. We can only wait. *Lorelei muses*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Well I can't remember any of it and yet somehow most of you do.
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> Time for a break until then?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, getting Manus to attack the school may be impossible but we'll atleast have a chance to attack Manus in a suprise way.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> An opening might just be a trap for both of us
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And get rid of both problems, you know
<Xanatos`> <Valen> If that happens we'll just have to survive and kick her ass!
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Which is why I'm being polite.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We still got the book to translate, so there is that."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I don't know. That was disgust in her tone about Manus.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "She's Miss Spring with pastels haivng to socialize with Miss Black LEather and Chains."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Let us go back to the hotel. We do not know when she will contact us again
<DeathStar> *Lorelei turns to go, patting Kaori*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So what should we do in the meantime?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Come up with a strategy to fight Manus.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It is a shame we cannot study her place more
<Seraphna> **MIchelle muses** I think we need to get her outside of her chosen ground. If I remember that little witch loves traps.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> That will likely be hard to do
<DeathStar> *As they arrive at the hotel, Lorelei peers at the kids* For now, try to get some rest for tomorrow
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Rest.. right..."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods and wraps an arm around Zegretta**
<Seraphna> **Michelle stretches** I think I could use a drink and a lie down, eh Kel?
<Sara> * Kaori sits down and ponders things
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances over to Lore. 1"Let's hope we're ready for this."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses on something* I hope so as well
<Jackieness> <Moira> *glances at Rachael and shrugs before heading up to their room*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.6.7
<DeathStar> Location: The Hotel
<DeathStar> *the team would wake up to pounding on the door*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what's all that noise?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei sits up as the pounding is both on the girl's and boy's door*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt jerks awake as he eyes the door briefly before moving over to it.
<kalonZombee> 6*Leruste snores as Tanan walks to answer the door
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks and sits up, gently poking Zegretta**
<DeathStar> *Di'Mantha stands there, only her stance is completely different. She looks haggered and cofused, peering left and right, peering behind herself. She seems to be in a nightgown and her feet look dirty - perhaps having run here*
<Sara> <Kaori> Uuuugh... Hessie, not so early... *she murmurs and rolls over*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks** Di... are you the vessel...?
<DeathStar> *Rachael sits up*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> W-What's going on??? 6* He says from his bed.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ....This is a surprise.
<kalonZombee> <Tanan> Di'Mantha?
<DeathStar> *Zegretta flops on the floor, holding the leash*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan flusters and helps Zegretta up**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *goes to open the door to lok out with the others*
<DeathStar> *Di'Mantha? peers at those opening the door* Y-You are real. I'm not going crazy. *she pulls her hair and laughs, almost hysterical*
<kalonZombee> 6*Tanan raises an eyebrow
<DeathStar> *Lorelei moves over and Rachael walks over, more alert*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods** Yeah we're real... so... she did take you over unwillingly.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Somethings wrong Lore. 6He studies the person, looking for any type of visible wounds
<Xanatos`> 6* Kellin quietly waits by his bed, arm behind his back with a pistol formed in it.
<Seraphna> **Michelle is with him, calmly holding a bow**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *she studies Di'Mantha? She looks to be okay, outside maybe some bruises. The woman continues.* <Woman> Sometimes I'd dream things and the last thing was you all. There's information on you all and other people. IT had your address so I came here. Am I mad?
<DeathStar> *she grabs Tanan and shakes him*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... This is definitely the host. Or Di'Mantha has lost her memory
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shakes her head** Trust me you're not mad. But... you're unaware too... huh...
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It possible she's like Valen's girlfriend?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I do not believe Di'Mantha would let herself go. And I am not sensing even the slightest tingle of the god
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Yeah maybe you should bring her in out of the hall?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think Di'Mantha has been removed
<kalonZombee> <Tanan> Please stop shaking me ma'am.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods** Vesper can't remember what happens most of the time when she's taken over. Wait... so... the hosts can fight back?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Like I did with Yeger
<Jackieness> <Moira> *whispers to Rachael* "Maybe she's the opposite... only active during the day?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ...Manus?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Wait...removed REMOVED, or just like the god is dormant?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks** Removed? But... who would have done that?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ummm... another Angel?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We can wait and see if Di'Mantha surfaces. *as Zegretta helps the woman in the woman looks shakey* <Woman> I... I... the last thing I fully remember... I.. *she struggles to remember* I was walking home from work
<kalonZombee> <Tanan> Take your time.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Valen, get her a glass of water. 6He shuts the door behind them
<Seraphna> ** Michelle leans out, fixing on a shirt** Well if ya'll remember my theory... Gartareh could have. And if this lady knew our address it means whoever took Di does too.
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen nods and runs to get her the water.
<kalonZombee> <Tanan> Would you like some coffee, ma'am?
<DeathStar> <Woman> And then I just felt like I was dreaming. I'd see things sometimes. Like going to a mansion and seeing these people. And you all stood out... And hearing a voice saying I knew too much and had to be removed. And then I woke fully.
<DeathStar> <Woman> And... And then my house was totally different. There was all these holovids. And diaries I never made.
<DeathStar> *she looks up, wild*
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> Do you understand the basic concepts of possession?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Knew too much...?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Lore. 6He looks over at her. 1"We need those things."
<Seraphna> **Michelle curses under her breath**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods*
<Seraphna> Michelle> We said it ourselves, she remembered more than the rest o' them.
<kalonZombee> <Tanan> Perhaps we can enter the house now that the host is no logner being possessed.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Split up, some protect her while others check her house?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I imagine those plants are going to be more dangerous now.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You are probbably right. <Rachael> I'll stay with the woman. <Zegretta> Kaori can burn them
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Agree.
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> You are not crazy, what happened to you was very real, and we're going to help you get back to your life. 6* He kneels down across from here as he says this.
<ChadWinters> (Agreed)
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> I guess I'll go in the house...
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen runs out with the water and offers it out to her.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks troubled as for what to do.**
<DeathStar> *The woman sips the drink*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Let's get there now before whoever did this to her, tries to get rid of anything she left behind
<Jackieness> <Moira> *nods* "right."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets go. Those who want to remain do so and watch the woman. Whoever did this might come back. But .. .since Di'Mantha is gone it is probably unlikely
<Jackieness> <Moira> "But is anyone else stayign here with Rachael and the lady?"
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> I am.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Be careful..."
<kalonZombee> <Tanan> I will stay.
<DeathStar> -Spinning Kaori Weapon-
<Seraphna> Michelle> He'll have me for backup.
<DeathStar> *they arrive and the plants look still. Lorelei and Zegretta eye them*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Ready?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I wish I could fly right about now.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wait..." *picks up a rock* "Let's see if this gets a reaction first, ok?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Okay. I was just going to push a man in
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Wish I could see spots that were easier to break into... usually the back is less protected than the front.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We're not promoting molestation right now." *tosses the rock into the garden*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Molestation is later, obvi.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Is that why I had a sense of impending doom? 6He looks at Lore
<DeathStar> *the plants half-heartedly try to grab the rock, but it seems whatever life is fading*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "They are dying off."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> The god power is draining from them... she really must have been fully taken...
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Seems like they plants aren't feeling too hot.
<Sara> * Kaori yawns
<Sara> <Kaori> Yeah...
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> That is still a distance. Do a firebomb
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm almost feeling sad for them.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We probably could justs tick to the walkway and be alright then."
<Xanatos`> <Valen> But like who the hell could TAKE their power. I thought Lorelei was special and unique.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Gartareh could.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. That is a thought.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> How do you know that, though?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I think Di'Mantha should ask for a divorce."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If he gave it to them, logically he could take it away.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Ah yes, the whole "I brought you into this world and I can take you out" line of thinking
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I've started to think since I found out about Harbinger, and how he marked me... what if the God's power is very similar to our own Marks?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei grows wings and grabs a few of them to fly over the plants while letting Kaori deal with some as well for the ground troops*
<Sara> <Kaori> A staple of evil fathers everywhere.
<Sara> * Kaori does so, as necessary
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen WEEEs at flying
<Seraphna> * Kaelan flies over**
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler claps
<DeathStar> *as they enter the building they find plants everywhere and spring like life that is growing weak*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks around, as they enter.
<DeathStar> *they also find a study with a desk that has been ransacked, either by the intruder or the woman aftr she woke, with paperwork all over the floor, and lights on all over the house*
<DeathStar> *a holovid with a crystal slot has a crystal, playing the info on it, and other stuff*
<DeathStar> *A few datapads, etc*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler starts to look for places that havne't been ransacked, placed that usually don't get thought of as hiding spots
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves over to the desk, moving through it
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> For once having someone who steals things on the regular will help you out
<Jackieness> <Moira> *goes to check the bedroom*
<DeathStar> *Durt would find paperwork for a bank and the account number, and other stuff*
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen starts gathering up the datapads.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei gathers the crystals with the recodings on it*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt starts gathering up the paperwork and then reaches under the desk, feeling for any hidden compartments or switches
<DeathStar> *Leruste would find a loose board*
<DeathStar> *Durt finds nothing*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler looks at the board to see if anything important is on it, or if maybe it's hiding something inside / behind / under it
<DeathStar> *Leruste would find a cute plant in a pot under the board*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler pulls the plant out and looks in the pot
<Jackieness> <Moira> *searches the bedroom, checking under the bed, between the matresses, in the pillows, etc.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei sits and inserts datacrystals into the device; the plant tries to attack Leruste but he does note a datacrystal under the pot while his face is eaten*
<DeathStar> *Moira finds conservative lingere*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler tries to pull the plant off his face as he grabs the datacrystal
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Boring..."
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> AH FNND FRMFFNK
<DeathStar> *The plant attaches to the top of his head, as if it's found a new home but leaves his face alone*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Leruste is silly
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> I found a datacrystal.
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen whistles at the lingere and laughs at himself before moving to look for anything else that they may have missed.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'll play it a second. *DI'Mantha begins to talk and mentions important information* Everyone, you might want to listen to this. *She takes Leruste's datacrystal*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *keeps looking*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan listens**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves to the group, to listen
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler walks over to listen
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wha?" *heads back into the main room with the others*
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen peeks his head around a corner, looking curious, then waits there and listens.
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> Since being reborn I have been experimenting. I have learned that you are not stuck in one person. Though it drains a lot of energy. You can leave the host and move to another person. But you have to do so in an hour. So if if we Gods are in danger we can escape to a new host. *Lorelei shakes head* <Lorelei> Something tells me this is not what happened to her but this is useful information. If the host dies by normal means they can jump to a new host
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Yeah, that's useful to know.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> So we gotta suck them out of there before they can do it.
<Sara> * Kaori frowns
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It also means Harbinger doesn't have to stick around in my head.
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> Sadly doing this eats a lot of power so I will not use this again unless I have to. *Lorelei puts in another* <Di'Mantha> I ran into Manus Dei. The bitch. She looks down on me due to being weaker. The old order is gone and I am no longer the mother of the gods in this new world. She likes my idea of trying to get money and rise up in this new world order and has taken over. She says might makes right
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Figures..."
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> I will not do anything now. I am wary - can another God destroy one another? I have heard the Angel has pulled Yeger out of his host and either absorbed him or disspelled his essence. I do not want to find out if another God can do that.
<DeathStar> *Di'Mantha frowns* So for now I will go along with it
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...sounds like she already did find out."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei puts in Leruste's*
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> I been quizzing Dei subtlely. She remembers quite a bit but not everything. I would be curious to know if the other Gods are the same way. It seems their memories are damaged. I think I remember a lot since I was so close to the epic center of Gartareh's downfall
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> I do not know how we came back but I do not think Gartareh has a need for us anymore. If he did he would come for us - and I know he is back. I feel him at times. Not always. So he must be at a location that shields himself sometimes. I know many of us turned against him and he likely will start over.
<DeathStar> <Di'Mantha> Probably near this so called Life Tree I hear about. But not before he's dealt with us. The fact the Angel and those who beat us are back will also be beaten first. Then he'll go after it. And any who help him control it.
<DeathStar> *The diary ends*
<DeathStar> *who can help
<DeathStar> *Lorelei glances at Kaori*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers down** So he is back... and was right under our noses...?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Well that's answered then.
<Sara> * Kaori blinks
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well sounds like he's some places where he's shielded. But after he's done with the Gods he'll go to Geyze
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It sounds like and use any who can help him unlock it
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she eyes the paperwork* It looks like these datacrystals might help us plan a way to draw Dei out. Maybe find her schedule. And I am sure there is more information. Maybe more of the past is recorded in her musings
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So it's very possible Gartareh is who attacked Di'. That or he created someone that did it.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> But... wait... didn'
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe he's the one pushign the Cartel into developing all this tech?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Didn't Cheryl lock it?"
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Then he'll go after her?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> If he's near the tree...maybe he's on one of them new planets.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...can anyone else unlock the tree?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I wonder if he plans to make new gods then. *Lorelei thinks* Maybe Kaori
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That's the thing... Fate told everyone that no one ever found Cheryl again. Or at least, the tree never gets unlocked.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Kaori might could do it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Could be why it's hard to find or feel him. The time difference and all that.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Maybe Taiga. If they can figure out mother's lock
<Sara> <Kaori> Me? But then....
<Seraphna> **Kaelan takes a breath and sighs** So I have Harbinger in my head and Gartareh wants me double dead. Yay.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well that sounds bad. If Fate said that
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And Kaori and Taiga are the only ones who might could undo the lock.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> DID she say that? I don't think I listened.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I mean... if I were Gartareh and I wanted the tree, i would jump into someone that had the key."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Then they must die
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods** She's vanished, and Fate assumed that since the tree is never unlocked, she never returns.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *Turns to KAori* Yes. It is possible a God could be reborn in one of the two also
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *rises* Lets gather what we can. From now on Kaori try to keep yourself safe
<Sara> <Kaori> A god? Reborn in me? ... I, I will try...
<Xanatos`> <Valen> No, Kao, we don't want a god plopped into you. We want you to be you.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Maybe we should ook in to convincing the gods to team up with us against Gartareh
<Sara> <Kaori> I will try to keep myself safe, dummy.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan rubs her head** Maybe that's why Harbinger broke cover to warn us.
<Sara> <Kaori> I didn't say I want it to happen, or that yu guys do.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses, eyeing the documents* There has to be a way to get at Dei in this. And yes, if Manus is right, Garetareh might be the enemy of the Gods
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Survival?
<Sara> <Kaori> It's just concerning.
<DeathStar> *er not Manus
<DeathStar> *Mantha
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Maybe that will get a few of them to stand down
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What do we do about Manus Dei though?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well let's get back to the hotel, and go through this stuff.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Dei? Dei I'm going to rip her out of her host. She's a sadist and will never stop
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> There's no other way
<DeathStar> *Lorelei sighs*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks down again, frowning a bit to herself**
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I'm afraid you're right Lore. OH MAN there goes our opening against her.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei pats Valen* We will find one. Don't worry
<DeathStar> -END-
