<DeathStar> Date: 12.5.5997 - 2 weeks later
<DeathStar> Location: Spirialist Kingdom - Summoni Place
<DeathStar> 6* After doing their mission at the Academy - which we'll flashback to later and Simon is oddly with them now, aiding them. Yes, some important stuff has gone on here. Odd. They also seem to have the Naturalist Hero's diary and weapon (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* The weapon is not a sword but seems to be some gauntlet thing with spiked claws at the end and has the element of Wind. They are now working with Kalam to try to find more about the Twin Heroes that went to this area of the world and learn more about them, using the Spiritalist library for the past few weeks, since the Magi's part of the Kingdom was attacked and is just recently begun to be rebuilt
<DeathStar> *Erevis sits, wearing a coat due to the cold winters in this Kingdom, bundled up as she goes through the various tomes in this place
<Jackieness> <Lana> *goes through a stack of manuscripts, making digitized notes*
<Seraphna> **Jaime is bundled up a bit too, leaning a bit against Erevis, the usual tendancy to have leaves and flowers in her hair lately even when none can be found still going on**
<DeathStar> <Selena> *looks at the various magical and spirital tomes they have here, studying them, distracted from their mission for a moment*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC sits quietly, looking through the tomes and what nots, wearing a coat over her tact suit.
<DeathStar> *outside the Kingdom, a blizzard is howling*
<Seraphna> **Alita is of course having a blast, reading whatever she can like a nerd**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks through a tome as well, but is wearing his nromal alliance clothes, frost coalescing on his neck and hands.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan is bundled up as well and isn't looking over anything, instead just pacing around looking at odds and ends.
<DeathStar> <Celes> *looks fascinated as she peers out and Sylph is playing with Fae*
<Seraphna> **Alita peers over Simon** Aren't you a bit cold there?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> *strides in* How goes the search so far?
<Seraphna> Alita> Exhaustive as ever. So fun~
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ohhhh... this is great! All this information!"
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia is also reading tirelessly, barely peeling her eyes from the books
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> The tomes are interesting to say the least. 6She speaks up.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm? Ice and cold come natural to me, so I am...accustomed to it.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I am beginning to wonder if there is nothing here in the main books. There is talk about the Kingdoms origins 3000 years ago but there has to be more if the original hero was from 12,000 years ago
<Seraphna> Alita> Generally most humans don't really handle frosting over very well reguardless... did you forge another pact?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "They probably have a vault for the most delicate volumes."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. That vault
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> 12000 years is a long time for information to not get lost.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So we need access."
<Xanatos> <Simon> I have 3 pacts now, yes.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> You know how dangerous the vault is, yes.
<Seraphna> Alita> Congratulations. **She smiles** Shiva or Celcius?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Are you all sure/
<DeathStar> *she peers at Liana and Celes*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I've lost important stuff from 2 weeks ago. Let alone 12 thousand years.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pauses.
<Xanatos> <Xan> How dangerous?
<Seraphna> **Jaime squirms a bit** It sounds like it'll be interesting at least.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> No, how would we?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I think the last time some of you went in Simon got a book that still bothers him
<Jackieness> <Lana> "This type of danger is the sort that I live for."
<DeathStar> <Celes> We went into the vault a few months ago, remember?
<DeathStar> <Celes> It's where the keep the dangerous relics and tomes
<Xanatos> <Simon> Celsius. 6* He says simply, getting distracted by Kalam.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Then we just leave Simon outside this time."
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Oh that vault. I do now, my apologies.
<Sara> <Liana> They seem a bit lost
<Xanatos> <Xan> To be honest I barely remember what's happened since we moved here.
<DeathStar> <Selena> It seems any time we go in there something happens. *she admits, closing a book on spirits*
<Xanatos> <Simon> The book is a wealth of knowledge. 6* He says simply, though there's a slight shift in his expression as he looks back at his tome.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "so maybe only some of us should go in."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, we should at least try. *Kalam sighs and reaches into her kimono type outfit and pulls out a key*
<Seraphna> Jaime> *hops up and stretches*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> There you go. Becareful what you take out. Be sure you absolutely need it
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Sylph, uh, will stay here. With Fae. Fae needs to learn how to ... um. Read
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC stands up, adjusting her coat slightly.
<DeathStar> *Celes takes the key and moves deeper into the monestary/castle. Erevis and Selena follow*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** I have a feeling I should refrain from summoning my fiance for now.
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves to follow**
<Xanatos> <Xan> So that everyone's on the same page, we're looking specifically for information on these twin hero people, yes? 6* He says as he follows along. Simon sighs after a few moments and gently closes his book before he follows.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> That should be easy enough to narrow down.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You really think it would be that easy?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. Though I have noticed that sometimes certain items in this place seems to call out to you
<DeathStar> *she peers out to Ellie's weapon* Or just get put into one's hand
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> No I do not. 6She looks at at Lana.
<Sara> <Liana> It's almost a bit unnerving, depending how one looks at it...
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the massive library with relics and items, in the far back is the vault that is kept locked. An old man is sleeping in front of it, guarding, his beard so long it is on the floor now*
<Sara> * Liana eyes Ellie, feeling like it's luck that such a weapon wasn't cursed
<DeathStar> *Selena pats Ellie*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ohm they have a wizened old guardian too!"
<DeathStar> *Selena tugs at her clothes, as if finding them tighter*
<Sara> <Ellie> But not wise enough to use razors. *she whispers to Selena*
<Seraphna> Alita> Is it your father in a robe, Lana?
<DeathStar> *she nods at that*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks at the man, studying him for a moment
<DeathStar> *The man, placed directly in front of the door, snores loudly*
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> He needs to shave.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Nooo... the long beard is part of the effect."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Beards look like they're scratchy.
<Xanatos> <Xan> It symbolized the eons that he's been here.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> If he has really been here for Eon's, perhaps he can point us in the right direction
<DeathStar> <Celes> Liana is the wise hero and adventurer
<DeathStar> <Celes> She can wake him
<DeathStar> <Celes> *she smiles mischeviously and steps back*
<Sara> * Liana deadpans
<Sara> <Liana> You will pay for this next time we are home *she teases as she steps forward and nudges the man's shoulder*
<DeathStar> *Selena tugs at her arms as they stand there, like someone who is wearing something just a bit too small for them*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I know I will~
<Seraphna> *Jaime looks back at the old man, then Xan, then back again*
<DeathStar> *The man snorts awake.* HUH? WHO's THERE?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon stands at the rear of the group, arms pulled behind his back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He's not aloud to grow a beard, Jaime
<Sara> <Liana> I am Liana Hapian. These are my companions.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Last time I had a beard the mustache kept getting in my mouth.
<DeathStar> <Man> LIE-PIAN? *he leans forward.* YOUR CAMPS?
<DeathStar> <Celes> I think I heard about this man from Sasha
<Seraphna> *Jaime nods* Good, I was just thinking he'd look silly with one.
<Sara> * Liana sighs and turns to the others with a shrug
<DeathStar> *she giggles with mirth*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks at Celes, then the old man again.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I am losing hearing listening to him
<DeathStar> *Celes unlocks the door as Liana distracts the man and steps in*
<DeathStar> <Celes> That was fun
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...the guardian wasn't really as impressive as I had hoped..."
<DeathStar> <Man> *he leans in toward Lana* YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE GUARDIAN?
<DeathStar> *he begins to jabber at her in full volume*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "WHA?!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... I'm going inside now*
<DeathStar> *She retreats*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC just shifts away from Lana and moves around the old man to go in after Celes
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Retreat is sometimes the better part of valor. Goodbye, Lana
<DeathStar> *she bows and moves inside*
<Sara> * Liana goes in, Ellie goes in
<Xanatos> 6* Xan slips in after Ceres, Simon stands there for a moment, tilting his head slightly before stepping in himself.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Nooooo... wait for me!" *tries to run after them*
<DeathStar> <Man> BUT--BUT I HAD NOT GOTTEN TO THE BEST PART ABOUT THE FISH
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows them**
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks around - the inner vault looks different than the last time, which should be impossible. The layout of the relics in different locations, bookshelves in other places. The lighting is dim as ever*
<DeathStar> <Celes> This is unusual. *The man's voice is gone as they enter, the room muffling him(
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...this is an eldritch location..." *djusts her glasses*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I would have said it was connected to the spirit realm but that should be impossible
<Xanatos> <Xan> Eldritch?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I'm not following.
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... *peers at Liana* Right?
<Sara> <Liana> I would not say anything is ever truly impossible after all we have seen
<DeathStar> <Selena> Our universe was destroyed. So it should be gone.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You know... Eldritch... weird... ghostly... even sinister."
<DeathStar> *as they walk along, there are a lot of relics on a table, with lables, but many are just labeled unknown*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan mumbles something about 'nerd talk' and wanders off to loko at relics.
<DeathStar> *some look like weapons, one looks like a lathern, one is a box that looks a lot like Pandora's Box, and more*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC glances around for tomes/old books
<DeathStar> *there are spirital relics that those with Spirits can tell, many with their Spirit's element*
<DeathStar> *and there are weapons on other tables. Swords, spears, one looks like a long range weapon and more. All look powerful*
<DeathStar> *Celes moves to the books and stuff*
<DeathStar> *Erevis flips through the books and Selena studies the weapons quietly*
<Seraphna> **Jaime walks along looking over the weapons as well, leaning in close to Selena** Anything seem to call to you?
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC grabs a book, and begins going throuigh
<DeathStar> <Selena> I use great-grandpa's weapon. Seems wrong to tossi t
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Now then... we need to find the oldest relics."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon silenty paces, eyes moving from one relic to the next. While Xan picks up a random sphere thing and shakes it slightly before putting it up to his ear.(to see if he hears something moving inside after he shakes)
<Jackieness> <Lana> *starts searching*
<Sara> * Liana and Ellie wander around cautiously looking at things
<DeathStar> *the sphere swishes, likely having something in it - probably some energy. In the back are armors and stuff. Lana would see that all of this are ancient relics*
<DeathStar> *SpoC and Erevis find a strange map that looks blank*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well that is odd
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Ceres do you all have smoke bombs on this world?
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks the weapons over some more, musing to herself**
<DeathStar> <Ceres> There are such things
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Do not maps usually have....something on them?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes they do
<DeathStar> *something seems to whisper to Jaime behind her*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... here is some old stuff." *tries getting out an arcane function to detect the energies similar to the other relics they have encoutnered*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan hmms and places the glass sphere back on the stand.
<Seraphna> *Jaime blinks and turns, looking for the whisper curiously*
<DeathStar> *there is a strange staff behind her*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I would say it is an unfinished normal map, but it wouldn't be in here if that were the case.
<DeathStar> *Liana also gets a whisper*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and moves over to it, gently feeling it out with spirit energy** What's this...
<Sara> <Liana> A sparse map is one merely waiting to be filld in, but could be argued to not be a map at all, just yet, when it is truly empty
<DeathStar> *Simon gets a whisper*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses, his eyes drifting in that direction.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You think it is a magik map?
<DeathStar> *the staff seems to have a darkness to it calling out to her element*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks over at Liana a confused look then at Erevis. 1"That would be my guess. Maybe if you wish it to show you something it'll do that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Magic map? That was the name of my band. 6* He walks over to SPoC and Erevis.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You had a band?"
<DeathStar> *Simon would see a spear calling out to him*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I assume it is. Perhaps someone who is proficient with magic can tell.
<Seraphna> **Jaime picks up the staff, looking it over**
<DeathStar> *it seems to attach to her hand and bond with her. She gains a staff with the ability use dark portal and other powers as Jaime glows with darkness for a second, her older staff vanishing*
<Seraphna> **Jaime squeaks and blinks, looking surprised** Huh...? Yeep.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh yeah. It was awful.
<Sara> * Liana peers around uneasily
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *studies Xanatos*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Awful, huh?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves over to it and leans in slightly to peer at the map, doing something similar to Jaime and feeling out for it's element.
<DeathStar> *Liana would see one of the swords with her element*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan smiles
<Sara> * Liana seems suspicious of it
<DeathStar> <Celes> Problem, love?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well it's my base element... pretty cool. **she shoulders the staff and moves back over to the others**
<Sara> <Liana> Grandpa says never trust a talking sword
<Sara> * She nods to herself
<Seraphna> **Alita continues to look through the books curiously**
<DeathStar> *it seems to be an ice based weapon*
<DeathStar> *Alita would see forbidden spells and other stuff - like love spells, mind compulsion spells, body taken over spells*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances around, then reaches out to lift up the spear to inspect it more closely.
<Seraphna> **Alita starts copying some of the most interesting ones, once a mage, always a mage**
<DeathStar> *It bonds with Simon and becomes his new primary weapon, giving him the ability to ice slide a few times and form do 1 ice wall*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks at Xan. 1"Are you able to tell if this map is magic?"
<DeathStar> *it seems Alita would have trouble copying them - it seems the tome itself is needed to do them*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ellie
<Xanatos> <Xan> Honestly I'm forever out of my element in this place. The spirit stuff is beyond me.
<Sara> * Ellie steps over
<Seraphna> **Alita shrugs and collects the tome**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You think if we just ask this map ask something it'll work or is it just a normal map?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Fascinating, this weapon imparted knowledge into my mind, and the abilities he provides are an extension of my natural abilities.
<Seraphna> *Jaime nods** I can make some kind of shadow portals now... and other things. It's kinda cool!
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I do not know, but we won't know until we try things
<Sara> * Ellie ponders and tries to figure it out
<Jackieness> <Lana> *turns back to her own search for clues about the ancient heroes*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dad you should look around these weapons and see if anything calls to you. It'll feel like.. umm... like you've come across that perfect shuttle.
<DeathStar> *no one else was called out to, so if they want to randomly grab a weapon and risk what happens is up to you*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia moves to grab a wand
<Xanatos> <Xan> Perfect shuttle? Pfft, I already have my perfect shuttle. 6* He waves a hand, really not being in tune with spirtual stuff.
<Sara> <Ellie> Hey, map. What do we do? *she asks, feeling immediately dumb for saying that out loud*
<DeathStar> *grabs the staff --- and nothing happens. It does stronger damage, but has no special abilities. So no special abilities like her old one*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, you're you Dad, got your own thing going. **she smiles encouragingly**
<Xanatos> <Simon> So how we know this is a map? 6* He asks as he walks over to observe.
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans in and stares. it remains blank for a bit and after a bit shows a map of Geyze that is blank with nothing on it, just the continent, though it shows islands that have not been discovered yet*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You found something?" *walks back*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks
<Xanatos> <Simon> These do not exist. 6* He points to them.
<DeathStar> <Celes> They are far off.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> It is ok, Xanatos. I too am not proficient with spirt based things or magic. 6She looks at the map
<DeathStar> <Celes> Anyway, so the map does respond to commands
<Sara> <Liana> They could be long-last lands, sunken, or otherwise hidden
<DeathStar> <Celes> Map, can you show Hapian Castle?
<DeathStar> *after a lng pause it shows on the map*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hidden lands? 6* His eyes go distant for a moment.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I very much want to go there.
<Sara> <Liana> There is no way we missed part of Geyze on the whole, since it can be seen in full from the skies and space... so they must be
<DeathStar> <Celes> I will check my charts again. I do believe that is nothing but oceans and known for it's storms
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Can it bring up information about the places it shows?"
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Have you not had the planet extensively scanned by modern technology?
<Sara> <Liana> But even so... a new possibility for adventure, however slim
<DeathStar> *After a moment it brings up Hapian Castle, the amount of people in the castle at the moment and zooms in like they are actually spying on the castle itself*
<Sara> * Liana's eyes sparkle
<DeathStar> *they can see tiny people moving about*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Map, can you show the path we took to get here? 6* He asks, figuring it's worth a shot.
<Seraphna> Jaime> THis is awesome! It's like some of the security maps on the PAX... only magical?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Is that my sister?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods firmly to Liana, agreeing with Liana's lust for adventure.
<DeathStar> *the map pauses, then does not do anything*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe it can sense musical talent."
<DeathStar> <Selena> *she tugs at her clothing*
<DeathStar> *again - nothing*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Damn, I was hoping we could ask it for the twin's path through the planet.
<Sara> * Liana eyes Selena, wondering what's going on with her
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ask it where to find the final resting place of the twins."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Maybe it can tell us their last known location?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan taps his nose, nodding to Lana.
<DeathStar> *it begins to show all the twins on Geyze*
<DeathStar> *there's a decent number*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh wow, whoa this is...sorta invasive isn't it?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Perhaps we need to be more specific. Ask for the Heroe's descendants
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We need to be more specific I guess
<Seraphna> **Alita smirks a bit since two woulds how up right there**
<Seraphna> **Three, actually**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We need the Ancient twin's final known locations
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We know that it cannot sense intent though."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Known as the twin heroes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *she tries to give more information*
<DeathStar> *the map after another long pause shows two spots in the Spiritial Kingdom - one near in the Magi lands and one in the Spiritialist Lands*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> It would seem they split up.
<DeathStar> *er summoni lands
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ah, perhaps they each foudned one of the two major spell-casting groups of Geyze."
<Seraphna> Alita> Now that feels strange.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> But with this map, we can at least find the rest of the descendants
<Xanatos> <Simon> Feels strange? 6* he glances to Alita curiously.
<Seraphna> Alita> I just immediately draw parallels to me and my sister. Twins who practice the separated artes.
<DeathStar> *Celes studies their daughter, then whispers in Liana's ear*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What drove you two to study different things?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pulls out his datapad and marks down those two locations, are either location where they've visited already?
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> I've never been good at healing magic, is al.
<Seraphna> Alita> And I had a gift for it, which eventually led me to Brooke.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe its a twin thing... if you don't mind, I'd like to run some tests on you two in my lab."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Only if you buy me dinner first 6*She jokes
<Xanatos> 6* Simon quietly pulls out his notepad and begins to draw the location of the mystery islands.
<Sara> * Liana eyes her daughter again and then looks at Celes
<DeathStar> *the one body is between the monk city and the Spiritalist City, the other body is near the Mountain Path Village on the Magi side*
<DeathStar> *Celes just smiles, making note to visit the talor*
<DeathStar> <Celes> *studies the map* The descendants could have gone onto to live in either this city or the monk city, and the other defintiely probably went onto live in the Magi City but that went on to be wiped out
<DeathStar> <Celes> But hopefully one survived
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> It would seem coming here was fruitful then.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I guess we should see about talking to Kalam. But there are a lot of Summoni. But I do not know a lot about the monks
<Xanatos> <Simon> Have we finished our business here?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Hm. *she thinks.* You will see when the time comes
<DeathStar> *she rises* <Celes> Yes. Lets go back to Kalam
<DeathStar> *they step out and soon arrive before Kalam, who is sitting in her chair, studying them. She looks at each of them who touched, or took a relic outside the map, her face not as pleasant as normal* I see you once again played with the relics in the chamber.
<Seraphna> Jaime> S-Sorry, it kinda called to me.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> That is what they do. What is even more dangerous is when they do not call to you. *She eyes Ceilia and Xanatos* Do you know what happens when you touch relics and play with them?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> The relics talked to you? 6She looks confused
<Xanatos> <Xan> Nope. 6* He says with a smile.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Very bad things. 6* He notes idely.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> *she waves a hand and a woman is brought in in her 50's and acts like a child, her hands branded by something and she smiles at them, mindless* She was once a specialist in her field
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Now she her intelligence level is no higher than a 4 year old
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Does anyone else find it weird that she had a signal for this specific thing? 6She looks at Xanatos then Erevis then Lana
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Because you do it again and again. I'm afraid I cannot trust you to go back into the vault
<DeathStar> *She takes the key from Celes* And those who have taken weapons that called to you - just becareful. They will serve you loyally up until a point. But if you discard them, who knows what they might do. Or what they might ask of you one day. They will grow stronger with you, but can you handle their strength
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It might be an awkward time to ask for a favor now? *She whispers*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Mhmm. 6*He nods to Erevis.
<DeathStar> *the guards take the woman away and Kalam sits back down* I think it is time for you to go back home, Queen Celes, if you are done here
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Not really. If I were guarding a door to an eldritch location full of cursed relics, I'd have a way of knowing if someone was messing about in there too."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well. *She looks at Liana* We might need one more small favor.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'll guard mine carefully, Lady Kalam. Sorry to upset you.
<DeathStar> *Kalam closes her eyes, then shows her teeth, her dragoon nature showing a bit like Cheryl does* Oh?
<DeathStar> <Celes> *looks at the others, then huddles with them* What do you think would be the best way to find the descendant if they are here? We have Lana's device to scan people.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon watches Kalam closely pulling his arms out from behind his back.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Gather them together in an easy to scan area
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be best. Do you have an idea?
<DeathStar> <Selena> They are summoni.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Do we have a rare summon to offer them?
<Sara> * Ellie deadpans
<DeathStar> <Selena> W-What?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Throw an event
<DeathStar> *Selena looks self-conscious* Was that a bad idea?
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and muses**
<DeathStar> <Celes> An event might be a good idea.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Offer? Hm. Perhaps they would be intersted in meeting lady Chronos
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... summoners for Gnome are rare, but summoners of Chronos or some of the newer ones ARE even more rare. Like, Super Rare.
<Sara> <Liana> There is that, I guess.
<Xanatos> <Simon> But I would prefer to keep lady Chronos out of this if possible. I understand if there is no other way hoewever.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Isn't Chronos kind of ornery though?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> A-And I do not want to offer Neekito
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And if people had the power of time that might be dangerous
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Wouldnm't it be rude to the summon's to offer them up like candy on a silver platter?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Indeed. 6* He says almost wistfully in response to Lana.
<Seraphna> Alita> I'd say Void, but he's not exactly the type for public appearances.
<Seraphna> Alita> Or conversation.
<Seraphna> Alita> Or frankly being around anyone.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Why not get some normal summons together and throw a festival or something then?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I did want to go meet with the Dark Twins sometime... maybe I could try and bring them here?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah Lana has a point.
<DeathStar> *Celes nods* Lets do that
<DeathStar> *Celes turns and explains their need to scan people, and their hope to throw a summon party*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And this time, no rogue occultists at THIS festival."
<DeathStar> *Kalam stares at them, then leans forward* Let me get this right, you want to throw a party in the hopes Summoni of all kind will gather. To meet all the summons. So you can find a descendant to talk to them and learn from them
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Yes.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well... and have a party?"
<DeathStar> <Kalam> And there is still a chance they might be from a Monk. Hm. *she muses*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I could do this - I might could even involve the Monks some what to end this sooner for you. But the question is why. *she defintiely seems annoyed with them today. Normally she is pretty laid back and easy going with them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *whispers* "I think she's ticked off for you guys taking stuff from the vault."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Jaime, do your cute look from when you were 5
<DeathStar> *erevis
<Seraphna> Jaime> **blushes heavily, inadvertently doing it** M-Maybe... we could include her in things...?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> ... *she taps her head* I'll do it. But if this hurts the spirits in anyway, Vyvy will kill me
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I'll get the preparations started.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Trust us we don't want anything to happen to the spirits.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "My detection spell would not hard the spirits... rogue occultists should not be invited though."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> You know what they say. The best laid plans. You are about to have a lot of spirits in one location and a lot of summoni and monks in one location. Who knows what could happen that might be outside your control.
<DeathStar> *she moves off to begin*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, can't leave Gnome out of that. I'll see about having Salamander take me to see the Twins... I want to form a pact with them anyway. After I return I'll bring her in on all this?
<Jackieness> <Lana> ".h, man... she has a point!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I am sure we can control it. ... Right?
<DeathStar> *she looks at Liana*
<Xanatos> <Xan> ... 6* He looks clueless, scratching his cheek.
<Sara> <Liana> ...Hopefully, but risks mean adventure
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos is the master of parties - he was in a band
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> There are numerous things that can go wrong.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "He admits his band sucked, though!"
<Xanatos> <Xan> I was, we were called the Wet Pancakes.
<Sara> <Liana> Were dry ones better?
<Seraphna> Jaime> That name sounds so sad....
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...even the name was lame..."
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I thought Magic Map was the name of your band
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am beginning to think Xanatos was in many bands
<Xanatos> 6* Xan smiles once again.
<DeathStar> <Celes> For now, we need to take our daughter to see a tailor here
<Seraphna> Jaime> I"m just thinking of a cute little pancake mascot with a sad face and looking all soggy now.
<DeathStar> *she grabs Selena* Coming Liana?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Huh?
<Sara> <Liana> Yes
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...he was in two suck bands..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I must speak with my summons and get their input on the matter. 6*He rotates on his heels and walks off.
<Xanatos> <Xan> No the suck band was the Vlad-Pires.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I suppose I can ask Gnome about stuff first. **she muses**
<DeathStar> *Erevis checks the date, noting how long before the duel in two weeks* I am still surprised that Mykel went off to observe the upcoming duel with the Alliance team
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...are you kidding me?!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> You have been tugging at your clothes all day. You are obviously out growing it. We need to fix that. <Selena> But I like my style. *she flails as Celes and Liana drag her off*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ok I wasn't in that one. They rejected me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wish to be in a band now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Jaime, be in a band with me
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will join Sugar
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Xan... you are lame..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime blushes again** Well... I know the guitar.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *nods* And I can sing
<DeathStar> <Celes> So, Liana, are there any new outfits you want while we're here? *she eyes mostly the clothing her designed for winter but there are some other outfits as well*
<Sara> <Liana> Probably just some warm things for the season
<Xanatos> <Xan> I am very cool. All my friends say so.
<DeathStar> *a quick jump though this will not negate any minis for this time period*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *snrrrk* "Your... snrrrrrk... your right hand doesn't count."
<DeathStar> *as the group begins to gather spirits, Gnome looks unhappy to be in the cold - Salmander absolutely refuses to come. Neekito looks around, confused. Aska is staring at them with a look. Sylph bounces. Celsius and Shiva are there. Brooke.
<DeathStar> *Chronos leans over them, eyeing them*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Your summon friends look annoyed.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> They do not look like they enjoyed being summoned so friviously
<Xanatos> <Simon> I explained the situation, but I believe not many enjoy being the center of attention.
<DeathStar> *Celsius and Shiva are wearing pretty dresses - despite the event being in a day or two*
<Seraphna> **Jaime has bundled Gnome up and is keeping her warm**
<DeathStar> *And Brooke seems to be relaxing. Chronos pokes* <Chronos> Anyone who tries to pact me will have to do the "test"
<DeathStar> <Gnome> So cold here.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The test?"
<DeathStar> <Cronos> The test.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I know, but the sooner we solve the Twins thing the sooner we can get to your lands and... well, you know.
<Seraphna> Alita> I am a bit curious about the test myself.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I suspect few if any will be worthy of you. 6* He says to Chronos
<DeathStar> *two teenage shapes move about looking for food*
<DeathStar> *wearing hoods over them*
<Sara> * Liana gestures subtly
<DeathStar> *Selena is in the same clothing, but resized*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "but what is the test?"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> I cannot tell you until you take it - but it will break you. I promise.
<DeathStar> *Chronos munches on some snacks*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan tilts his head, picking at some food. He slowly offers some to the teenagers.
<DeathStar> *the teenagers pause and take it, eating it and then begin to take some into a bag to take home*
<Seraphna> *Jaime carries Gnome along and moves over to the teenagers curiously**
<DeathStar> <Celes> Anyway, we just need you to stay here a day or two. The party is almost ready. If you have calls we understand.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Lady Chronos' power is dangerous in the wrong hands. The test must be equally difficult to match.
<DeathStar> <Celes> We just wanted to get everyone here to let them know what this was about
<Jackieness> <Lana> *turns and mutters* "...not fair... I want to know what it is... but I don't like stuff that hurts!"
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC tilts her head a bit at Chronos
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hi I'm Xan. 6* He says to the two.
<DeathStar> *the teenagers wave, wearing human like masks under the hood* Hello. *one says, the other elbows. After taking like half the food, they begin to subtlely move to the door to leave*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is weird
<Xanatos> 6* Xan patches them go and glances to Erevis.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Did they have masks on? 6* He whispers.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Reminds me of Jaime when she was little
<Xanatos> (watches*)
<DeathStar> *she whispers back*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey... umm... **she moves over to the two** Before you go...
<DeathStar> *the two pause and look up*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You're Shade's daughters, aren't you?
<DeathStar> *they jerk, then one mimics a deep voice trying to act like a man but it comes out more comedic* Nuh uh. No pacts to be made here.
<DeathStar> *Shade studies them and whispers to Xan* That is them. They have taken up the Dark Spirit mantle. Being near them I can feel them I think
<DeathStar> *Erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are the Dark Spirit now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wonder what happened to Shade
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** Are you staying in the Grove? I'd like to discuss that pact later when I can take a new one.
<DeathStar> *the two take off the mask and eye Jaime* You can't have our bodies. *they note in protest, covering their chest*
<Xanatos> <Xan> SHould I jump them and take them prisoner? 6* He jokes.
<Seraphna> **Jaime giggles** Don't worry about that, Gnome is territorial. **she wiggles her**
<DeathStar> *they look to be late teens, but act more like kids right now, at least one does. The other seem to act truly like a late teen.*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well. Now that we have everyone here. I guess we can get the spirits rooms and let Kalam know
<DeathStar> <Celes> That the party is on
<DeathStar> -END-
