<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> 6* The snow is falling harder over the Academy which is out of school for the Holidays; the end of the year is nearly here. Things seem to be winding down finally. No more Outlaws - and if there where any the snow likely has dealt with them. The snow also has likely put the monsters into a state where they will slow down for the time being and so for a brief time things are simply quiet. Almost
<DeathStar> *Celes sips her tea in the mansion, musing as she eyes the castle map*
<DeathStar> *Selena stands there, eyeing the Academy grounds covered in deep snow, tapping her foot while Erevis seems to be quiet, eyes closed*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits feeding Gnome some fruit from the demonlands. Tested herself of course. Strangely having pointed ears now**
<DeathStar> *Gnome eats the fruit, blinking a little as she nibbles, wearing thick, thick coats*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *is in her new lab in the basement*
<DeathStar> *Adeline finally trudges through the Academy toward where Lemon has set up Wade and Jenny, wearing a large coat herself*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan lazily eats on an apple-like fruit.
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles, wearing warm clothing but hardly as bundled up as most of the others**
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia reads a book while sitting in front of a window to occasionally watch the snow
<DeathStar> *leaning on a staff and it looks like she has been traveling all over the place*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I still have not found what I am looking forward. So clearly the place I want is not on the Castle maps. I might have to start thinking outside the box. Maybe see if some of the Alliance members want to join me in taking some of the castle walls down piece by piece
<Xanatos> 6* Simon stands outside, snow mounting on his shoulder as he slowly works on his ice magic. He tilts his head as Adeline passes and nods in greeting.
<DeathStar> <Selena> That will make Auntie thrilled
<Seraphna> Jaime> Have you looks into the Spirit Realm sections?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Since they no longer exist
<DeathStar> *she simply makes a hand shift*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... do they... or can we simply no longer get to them?
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods to him, carrying what looks like vials full of stuff and a monster part or two*
<Sara> * Liana shrugs
<DeathStar> <Celes> The Spirit Realm was the third planet. That was destroyed so I am told
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** Maybe... or maybe the connection to it was simply severed. Spirits remain after all.
<Xanatos> <Xan> A whole planet was destroyed?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was used to make Yggdrasil I believe
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and frowns, thinking still** This suddenly made me have another line of thinking. You need to get somewhere in the castle seemingly inaccessible without tearing down walls... we know someone who might be able to help with that.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps into the foyer of the mansion and slips off her coat*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well. To be honest a lot of the castle you are referring to was never found.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So what are you trying to find there exactly? I guess I should have led with that.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon enters after a bit, having knocked the snow off of himself, he moves to make himself a hot tea.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I never said I was trying to find it in those areas. But the Hapian Castle has lots of hidden rooms. You can ask Liana
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps into the sitting room* "Hello, dear sister. I am here for a visit."
<DeathStar> <Celes> If the weapon was in the spirit realm portion then I fear it is lost forever
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns** That would be anti-climactic.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Wouldn't it be a high chance of being there?
<Seraphna> Alita> Celes, what about that staff that your sister was using during the... succession issues?
<Seraphna> **Alita looks up from a novel**
<DeathStar> *Celes tries to think back*
<DeathStar> *Then lokos back up*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Oh. Sorry. Hello Sasha. Simon
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...ahem!" *now has a cross look on her face*
<Seraphna> Alita> It supposedly gave her a powerful connection to Aska beyond the bloodline.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows his head slightly in greeting as he lightly blows on his hot tea.
<Seraphna> Alita> Maybe it was the opposite and the bloodline gave it a poweful connection.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You think that is the weapon?
<Xanatos> <Xan> That sounds pretty similar to our things.
<Seraphna> Alita> It satisfies the usual requirements.
<DeathStar> *Neekito prepares some tea for Sasha*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Thank you, Neekito." *moves to take a seat*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Do we know where this staff was placed afterward?
<DeathStar> <Celes> I do not. I thought it maybe destroyed
<DeathStar> <Celes> Shion ordered it to be so due to it's influence on Eve
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oh? None of the other items have had any noticable negative effects. Hm. 6* He sips.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "if you wish to know of it, then I would ask Shion."
<Seraphna> Alita> And of course who did we hand it off to to be destroyed?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "That being said, there was a Rogue Magi involved in the affair, if you recall."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well if you need to find hidden rooms and they could be underground, maybe my shuttles scanners could sonar to find them. 6* He shrugs slightly, going back to Celes' first though.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Sasha had the staff last. Yes.
<DeathStar> <Celes> But that was 6 years ago
<DeathStar> <Celes> I thought Shion as temporary Headmistress at the time would have taken it
<Seraphna> Alita> The Tamae had an amazing ability to strongarm whatever they wanted all the time.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Oh, did I?" *leans abck* "I don't remember... perhaps Rain might know where I put it?"
<DeathStar> *Celes eyes the map* But yes. I plan to go over to the castle later. If any of your people want to come Simon, let me know. I mean searching a castle can not be fun. And I would not mind, Xanatos.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And how do you intend to find anything in the castle, dear sister?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Me and Liana have been exploring it for years already. So I have ideas where to look.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** I... have an idea of how Gnome and I might be able to help too.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I will go see if I can round up help. 6* He bows again and moves off to find Shion.
<DeathStar> <Celes> And I will look into the spirit realm question. Even though it is gone, can the Spirits exist without it is a question to be asked
<Sara> * Liana nods to Celes
<Sara> <Liana> Exploring the castle has always been such an adventure, hasn't it. *she muses*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "What if your objective is not atually in the castle, though?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> If you think it is the staff, please grab it and bring it to us at the castle.
<DeathStar> <Celes> But I do not think mother would keep such an important weapon outside the castle.
<DeathStar> *Celes goes to change into her clothing to explore the castle* And yes Liana. I agree
<DeathStar> *Shion is playing.. in the snow oddly*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses nearby, clearing his throat slightly after giving her a few moments.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "i'll go see if I cna uncover this staff then... also, perhaps you should interrogate Eve. Who knows what could have happened inside the castle while she was under the influence of corruptive elements."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan bites his apple thing again and slowly gets up to go get his shuttle ready.
<DeathStar> *Shion sits up, in her smaller form before rising and shakes off, immediately big again* Yes?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Maybe. Try not to join us as soon as you can. The castle is part of your family history, too
<Xanatos> <Simon> Sorry for bothering you. Celes is requesting for volunteers to help them search the castle for their families ancient weapon. I thought I should ask you before I send out the request.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *sips from her tea cup and then rises, going to pull on her coat and head back to her apartments*
<DeathStar> *Shion sends the message to the Alliance team - letting it know it is voluntary. Cypher is holding up a ship wing as Chelsea is working, ignoring her pager*
<Sara> * Chelsea's ears twitch but she seems focused on her work
<DeathStar> *Celes steps out in her adventure outfit and Erevis rises, moving over to the teleporter as Celes activates*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix runs towards the Hapian mansion so he can volunteer.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Rain, Kito. I Do either of you recall what happened to the staff that I captured from my sister Eve?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Also, they are thinking it could be that staff that allowed a strong connection to Aska. Sasha is looking for it if you know anything about it. The negative effects it had leaves me to believe that it is not the case.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek watches people move around, and goes in the opposite direction, avoiding work.
<DeathStar> *Rain pauses, dressed in her Daemon Noble outfit as she is finishing putting something on Sasha's desk* Ah.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Give me a moment to think on it
<Seraphna> **Sammael appears by Drasek** Soaps time.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Also I will be going to the Hapian palace on a family matter as well."
<DeathStar> *Celes nods to BIX* Thank you for the help. Please come this way. *she teleports them to the castle. Erevis looks around - the castle looks the same, the maids and staff maintaining things like usual. Selena carries Luna from the Mansion to come with them*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I've got a new one to try, luv, it's got witches and werewolves in it.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Of course. I will find it before you and have it sent.
<Seraphna> Sammael> Consider me already invested.
<Seraphna> **Jaime carries Gnome to follow the others, while Alita takes out a new book**
<DeathStar> *the scene will now focus on the Hapian team in 1 minute so get your lines in*
<DeathStar> *Adeline steps in after them, apparently dressed in a mage like outfit with vials on her belt*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "thank you, Rain."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *goes to get her things and then heads to the teeporters*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Your child-like joy in the snow was pure and wonderful. 6* He says after a bit of thinking and then steps off to go help.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Of course. *watches her go, then smooths out her noble dress and sits with grace as not to wrinkle it, very serious*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan is flying towards the castle, he'll probably be a bit.
<DeathStar> -Team Castle-
<DeathStar> <Celes> Alright. Before we begin our search.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix salutes to Celes, ready for his task.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Selena, can you call out Aska. I think it is time we all talked
<DeathStar> *Celes shifts a bit behind Liana*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps off of the teleporter as she arrives*
<Sara> <Liana> Mm...
<DeathStar> <Selena> Oh Great Light Spirit, please come before us. *Erevis tilts her head curiously, while Adeline leans forward. A moment later, Soren appears, looking to be 5ish maybe. With Aska behind her*
<DeathStar> *Aska removes her hand from Soren's shoulder*
<DeathStar> <Aska> Selena. Celes. Sasha. Liana.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Lady Aska."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon appears on the teleporter, pausing when he steps off.
<Xanatos> <Bix> BIX!
<DeathStar> *Selena seems to study Aska with a squint, then Soren*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I think we need some questions answered. You been avoiding us for months
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Hmmmm..." *looks from aska to Soren and then back again*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...that might explain matters."
<DeathStar> *Celes peers at Sasha* Hm? What is it, sister?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...later, sister."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Can you explain what truly happened in the war 12,000 years ago? We been putting pieces together but you are always vague. <Aska> .... <Celes> The spirits are back. Is it not time for you to talk. What if you vanish like Shade.
<Sara> <Liana> I understand if it's difficult, but we need to know.
<DeathStar> <Aska> There are some things I cannot answer despite being there. Even if I wanted to
<Sara> <Liana> Why, what stops you?
<DeathStar> <Aska> I cannot remember it
<Sara> * Liana exchanges a look with Celes
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...mmm-hmmm..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Is this simply lost memories due to time, or something else?
<DeathStar> <Aska> Something else. I will try to answer. The fact is none of you should know about this war either if it was done correctly, but I suppose ... Well. When I am done you will see why there is some evidence
<DeathStar> <Aska> There was one race - the Ancients. We spirits came into contact with them and learned our powers were bolstered by them. So we began to make more Spirits. Chronos. Then the fire, wind, earth, water, lightning, and so on.
<DeathStar> <Aska> The Ancients though began to have two differing thoughts on things, almost like two people. And over time they were essentially two. <Erevis> Almost like the mirror universe version of Progenitors and Dark Ones. <Aska> One wanted to be in harmony with us, the other wanted to use us and made devices to do so. The former race then made devices to .. destroy the spirits that were... changed
<Xanatos> <Simon> Naturally such differing ideologies would lead to conflict.
<DeathStar> <Aska> After that, what happened I cannot remember. Chronos was pacted to destroy the Ancients that had changed. To try to rewind time back to no more Ancients. The Ancients tried to wipe themselves out. But I think that would have also destroyed us so Chronos could not do it fully
<DeathStar> <Aska> That is all I know of how it ended. Afterward the Ancients were all but gone but evidence of them remained - some of them still were there. That became your descendants
<Sara> ancestors*?
<DeathStar> (derp)
<DeathStar> *Celes muses* <Selena> No wonder Chronos is so prickly on pacts
<DeathStar> <Aska> I admit the story might have holes and might be incorrect. Chronos' power might change memories, too, for all I know. And when I ask she said she is forbidden
<Sara> <Liana> Unnerving to think about, though.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Time travel... always complicates stuff more than it fixes anything.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a dangerous tool. Becareful of it, Simon
<Sara> <Liana> I cannot disagree. And for some reason thinking about time travel makes me want to puke
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "So in trying to undo a mess... a bigger one may have been created..."
<DeathStar> <Celes> W-Well then. The next question, does the spirit realm still exist? Are the spirits tied to it?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I understand very well the dangers it invokes. I simple use it to affect myself, which admittedly shortens my time but it does not affect the greater timeline.
<DeathStar> <Aska> The spirit realm made us stronger and where we made new spirits. I think it might still be out there, maybe the mirror universe still exists, but that is beyond our grasp at this time. We are now in this universe. So we can only make artifical spirits, or make spirits through sex. When Vyvy was around, I pondered if something were to happen to the spirit realm, how would new spirits happen, so it was an interesting theory to test. Can spirits be born like you all
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think it must exist... actually, it keeps making me think of our friends on Kumen.
<DeathStar> *Aska pats Soren's head*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "mmmm-hmmm..." *looks at Celes* "The big question then, sister."
<DeathStar> *Celes muses* Well that means if the stuff is not in this castle I do not see how we can reach it. *Rain sends a message through the portal to Sasha - "Destroyed"*
<DeathStar> <Celes> We cannot go to our old universe to search for a castle segment
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nods* "Sister, the rod taken from eve was destroyed."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Was the link to centerpoint severed in this universe?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *then turns* "Lady Aska, do you know if House Hapaian' hero's weapon still exists?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. But Fate said that Cheryl sealed it
<Xanatos> <Simon> Sealed it? I see. That is a shame.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So using the tree to go to their universe right now is not possible. Though I do think I saw a Cheryl looking woman with Thena the other day
<DeathStar> <Aska> *kneels and talks to Soren a moment, Soren whispering back*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Should we seek out this Cheryl or search this castle for the weapon?
<Seraphna> **Jaime colors a bit** Two actually... but one's only part of Cheryl.
<Seraphna> Jaime> The other one is kinda like Lemon.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes. The other Cheryl is half a Cheryl. Thena and Jaime get into all sorts of adventures
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The other Cheryl we believe is Cheryl splitting her power to keep others from using her. Namely her son
<Seraphna> **Jaime colors more** Yeah... Thena's been having issues getting a lock on Ben. But it seems she's progressing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Like Ren and Yuki split themselves in two. I see
<DeathStar> *Aska rises* The weapon is in the castle.
<DeathStar> <Aska> So you need not go to drastic means
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks confused at the Cheryl talk, while Bix looks confused at ALL of the talk.
<DeathStar> *Celes lets out a breath of relief and turns to the others, handing out maps to them*
<DeathStar> *Adeline hands Simon a diagram* The Mizukaze family has power to divide their power in two to make a duplicate of themselves
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So if you wanted to half your power to not unlock the seal
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks at a map of the castle. It shows areas of red that Liana and Celes have explored already*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then we shall begin..."
<DeathStar> *It looks like 80% of the castle has been checked out*
<DeathStar> <Selena> This is going to take a while
<DeathStar> *Erevis uses her datapad to scan it for Xanatos in the air*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah... either Cheryl made the future set in stone now by a split preventing her from every unsealing it again or maybe Thena's changing something, who knows. Oh... and the think I think I can help with is taking out a wall without having to bust up the castle.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos would be making slow passes, pinging sonar scans and then sending results to Erevis.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks a few times.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I suppose with such a power one must make extra precautions.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Let us focus on the task at hand then."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Academy
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar stops in to check on Chelsea and company, taking a seat as they work on Thena's ship. Heaven is there, checking things out*
<Seraphna> **Thena is bouncing around, making notes on paint she needs to make the ship pretty. Such is the true role of the protagonist.**
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Thena better be happy with these new engines. Sheesh. My poor ship
<Seraphna> Thena> Course I will be silly.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So the other day Max managed to get caught in sticky glue and we had to shave some of his fur off
<Jackieness> <Lana> *coems up from her lab and looks around* "Whoa, I think i missed something."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek walks by with a case of beer under one arm and wine under other, pausing to look at the gathering.
<Seraphna> **Thena passes by Asarar carrying a ladder with someone else carrying the other end, which shortly thereafter appears to be Thena**
<DeathStar> *There's a racket inside Chelsea's place and Aimée runs by carrying something and outside*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *goes to get something to eat instead of wondering about it more*
<DeathStar> *running past Drasek*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Little thief. Little thief. 6* He calls out lazily.
<Seraphna> **Thena also takes a seat on Drasek's shoulders, patting his baldness** Hey Uncie Drasek!
<Sara> <Chelsea> Huh? Is Aimée making a racket again...
<Xanatos> <Drasek> 'lo luv, you also gettin in t'trouble?
<Seraphna> Thena> All the time!
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I think she stole something that looked important
<DeathStar> <Cam'dee> Looked like a spirit egg
<Xanatos> <Drasek> How's there so many of you? 6* He asks after he realized Thena was in 3 places.
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks** Wait, not the one I need right? **Another Thena runs after her**
<Seraphna> Thena> My Hyperspace trick!
<DeathStar> <Cam'dee> *eyes Thena* ...
<DeathStar> <Cam'dee> I'm so going back home
<Sara> <Chelsea> We should prooobably go get that back...
<Seraphna> **The first Thena hugs Cam'dee from behind** I am just being goofy silly.
<DeathStar> *Aimée sits with the spirit egg and begins to touch it, using her spirit powers as she does so*
<Sara> * Chelsea carefully puts her tools down
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Right. *Bonne pops up, grabs Chelsea, and vanishes, appearing out in the snow near Aimée*
<Seraphna> **The one chasing Aimee stops, slides, then poofs**
<DeathStar> <Cam'dee> Uh huh
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Hyperspace, eh? Interestin. Interestin. 6* He leans in closer, trying to sense how it works.
<Seraphna> **Thena starts tickling her**
<Sara> * Chelsea is grabbed
<DeathStar> *Aimée seems to be using her Override program. As Thena nears, she forms her giant mallet and smashes Thena into the snow without mercy*
<Seraphna> **Drasek would probably sense the Thena on his shoulders is just a tiny mote of Hyperspace running a weak physical shell**
<DeathStar> <Aimée> Go away.
<Seraphna> **That Thena poofed more dramatically than in the previous line!**
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I like that trick. Might steal it sometime.
<Seraphna> **Thena giggles** It comes in handy a lot.
<DeathStar> <Airell> If you want to burn yourself out. Well, Drasek won't
<DeathStar> *Bonnie warily approaches Aimée who seems to be about to finish reprogramming the egg*
<Seraphna> **Thena pouts** I do sometimes. But no progress comes without cost. And have saved lives with it.
<Seraphna> **She pauses a moment** Okay, also destroyed several ships with it but that was to save other lives.
<Sara> <Chelsea> What is going onnnn.
<DeathStar> <Aimée> Waking sister.
<Sara> <Chelsea> But shouldn't she wake naturally? This seems dangerous!
<Sara> <Chelsea> It was going to happen soon anyway!!
<DeathStar> *Aimée huffs* Aimée when is soon?
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...as soon as the ship's done...?
<DeathStar> <Aimée> You gave them that old spirit.
<Seraphna> **Thena picks up Cam'dee** You're the only Ship Spirit for me. Now let's go over the ship a bit.
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks
<DeathStar> <Aimée> When does sister wake
<Sara> <Chelsea> True...
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Sound like a lot of effort. 6*He muses, also thinking about how much energy it would take to maintain.
<Sara> <Chelsea> But at least let me activate it more properly on our ship, then?
<Sara> <Chelsea> I don't want anything bad to happen.
<Sara> <Chelsea> To your sister.
<Sara> * She holds out a hand to Aimée
<Seraphna> Thena> It does leave me drained after a bit. There's some downsides even to using too many at once like a lack of mass to do much with. The good part is that the motes maintain themselves and can come back into me.
<DeathStar> *Aimée pauses, likely a few seconds away if she decides to resume. Cypher peers at Aimée, then at Chelsea, then back*
<Sara> <Chelsea> We'll go right now.
<DeathStar> *Aimée finally holds the egg back*
<Sara> hands*?
<DeathStar> *hands
<Sara> * Chelsea takes the egg delicately and starts moving off toward her ship
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Motes. Hm. Hm. D'no if I can even make them. 6* He says after a bit, moving off to return back to Sammael.
<DeathStar> *Aimée follows, holding her mallet and looking at the egg and petting the weapon. The two "Twins" peer at each other warily*
<Seraphna> **Thena smiles and hugs him** Have fun with Momma Samm! **she poofs**
<Sara> * Once Chesea is on the ship she moves to activate the egg properly
<DeathStar> *Cypher whispers* You sure this is a good idea? Didn't we deem the egg was a little ... wonky? Even if it was stronger?
<Seraphna> *The real Thena, probably, is seeing what colors Cam'dee likes most**
<Sara> <Chelsea> Well, that was the risk with Aimée too, wouldn't you agree? If it will make her happy and she's this eager, it falls to us to make sure it at least happens the right way. What if she tried to activate it her way and it broke?
<DeathStar> *Cam'dee says blue*
<DeathStar> *Cypher nods and watches as the egg begins to work, doing it's thing. Thankfully, Aimée is already on the systems so this egg seems to be pausing and not overriding it, so that's a good sign*
<DeathStar> *Asarar contacts her crew, in case there's an incident*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan responds with a simple 'Standing by'
<DeathStar> *After a bit, it seems the egg begins to simply compliment what is there, boosting it and the spirit begins to hatch, looking like a younger twin perhaps, though the hair color is different. But by boosting the Mew Mew's system, it might be a little too much boost. Looking at the readings*
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and looks to Heaven** Whatcha think, a blue and pink scheme with black accents?
<DeathStar> <Heaven> My poor ship..
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Probably not a good idea to have both spirits do the spirit thing. *she notes, eyeing the readings* Right?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Probably.
<Sara> <Chelsea> So, good morning, little one. *she says to the hatching egg*
<DeathStar> *finally Aimée seems to grab the new spirit and looks pleased as it finishes. The new spirit peers about, then at Chelsea* .... Good morning, little one.
<Seraphna> **Thena wiggles**
<Sara> * Chelsea facepalms
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Well at least this one is chatty unlike Aimée in the beginning
<Sara> <Chelsea> I'm your new mom! And Aimée here is your sister!
<DeathStar> *the new spirit pauses, about to mimic the words, then peers at Chelsea, then at Aimée. It pauses, then hugs Aimée* Sister. *then eyes Chelsea* New Mom.
<Sara> * Chelsea nods and smiles
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Castle
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks with Liana through the castle, and Gnome with Jaime. Selena has Luna ride on her shoulders
<DeathStar> *Xanatos would find pinging the castle hard due to interference oddly - the spirit-tech and spirit energy of the castle is giving odd readings*
<DeathStar> *Celes with Liana
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches along methodically, while Simon moves.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *is also assisting in the search*
<DeathStar> *Celes knocks on walls*
<DeathStar> *and moves statues*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is this necessary?
<Seraphna> **Jaime squeezes Gnome's hand, walking about, fixing her hair a bit so her ears poke out of it less**
<DeathStar> *Adeline muses as she walks along the corridors*
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Spirit energy is really messing with my sensors, I'm trying to adjust for it but it's...overwhelming.
<DeathStar> <Erevis on comm> Then the previous Queen must be hiding something. That or maybe the castle is still connected somewhat with the spirit realm. But that is a question for another time.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I daresay... perhaps my mother might know... though i would rather not involve her."
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* I'm recording all the data, we can go over it later.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well. Take a look at this hallway. *She motions at a hallway that has a statue, three paintings, a large rug, chandliers, and spirit-tech candles8
<Xanatos> 6* Bix knocks on each wall as he steps, pausing to hear for hollow parts.
<DeathStar> <Celes> What would you think might lead to secret passage.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Me and Liana have encountered such hallways before after all
<Xanatos> <Simon> Behind large paintings?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The candle holders are a classic."
<Sara> <Liana> Behind lots of different things
<Seraphna> **Jaime closes her eyes and feels out the spirit energy of the place** Maybe we can use what's here to find what we need, or maybe the stone itself?
<DeathStar> <Celes> The paintings have hidden levers before, yes
<DeathStar> *Celes struggles to lift them off*
<DeathStar> <Gnome> I can try to feel out hallowness.
<DeathStar> *after getting the paintings down, the back sides are dusty of where the paintings where at*
<DeathStar> *Selena tries the candle holders, getting nothing, hmming*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Odd.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix looks under the rug.
<DeathStar> *polished.*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix gives a dramatic shrug
<DeathStar> *Gnome touches the wall* Solid. *touches the next wall* Solid. *Touches the third painting wall* Empty behind here
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. But then how do you open it
<DeathStar> <Celes> These passages always have some trick
<DeathStar> <Celes> Lest the hired help can open it by accident
<Seraphna> Jaime> Interesting.... I wonder if we can shift the wall safely. Move the bricks with power and reform them into a doorway?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *tries manipulating the candle holders*
<Xanatos> <Simon> A-ha. The paintings weren't perhaps the machanism but the opening behind the walls is true.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix checks the statue to see if it can be moves or something placed in it.
<DeathStar> *while Bix and Sasha are both doing it, the wlal opens up*
<Xanatos> <Bix> Victory and success!
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Well, there is that."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Come. Let me show you a hidden secret of the Hapian Family
<DeathStar> -TBC-
