<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* The school year is in full swing and Sylph finishes a class, watching her students run out as she holds an apple given to her, adjusting her suit; at the same time Asarar and her group have begun to take over the temple and put their stuff into it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> This place is huge
* Pache has joined #TAW-Session483
<Jackieness> <Kira> "It gives us alot to work with."
<Seraphna> Luci> Room for a Gym. **she says setting up a second bar for narrative consistency**
<Xanatos> <Logan> I wonder how many bodies are buried down in the depths of this place.
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes Luci oddly. Cypher meanwhile works on setting up Chelsea's garage to be connected with the temple*
<Seraphna> Luci> What? Are we or are we not a group that meets in a bar?
<DeathStar> *Sylph closes up her classroom and the second the students are gone, tosses her suit off*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Th bar is a legitimate busienss front. We have one on this planet already. It takes less than five miutes to walk there."
<Seraphna> **Nell trots in floating a fridge** Where does this go?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *shrugs, at both Logan and Luci* Anyway
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Due to it's size we should pick our own rooms now. It's way too big for any one person. I'll map out the temple and make places of importance.
<DeathStar> *Asarar moves to the temple wall and touches it; it glows and vanishes, revealing the ability to look outside, where Lumi is comically running across the grounds*
<Seraphna> **Jaime appears, looking like a nature goddess with her current attire**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Ohhhhh... get the popcorn."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We should probably put the rooms up higher so people can't reach us as easily
<Xanatos> <Logan> Why does she run around so much? Isn't she the boss
<Seraphna> Jaime> She keeps forgetting to ask Thena to teleport her.
<DeathStar> *Lumi can be seen grabbing a student's drink and gulping it down, then continuing*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Even still, shouldn't she have assistants to do all the running around?
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around casually like she didn’t just place herself among them** Thena is her assistant.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good point. *Asarar brings out a map of the temple so far and begins to assign rooms, taking a seat*
<Seraphna> Nell> I want a big room.
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...I don't think I've ever seen Thena do anything but lounge on people's shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So, as we got this place, does anyone want any special rooms for projects?
<DeathStar> *she glances at Kira, Logan, Chelsea, etc*
<DeathStar> <Asasar> Luci clearly for a bar
<Seraphna> Luci> A training center would be nice too. Nell needs a lot of room for her metal control.
<DeathStar> *Sylph lands on a branch and studies some dark clouds in the distance*
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods* The old Unit 6 had such a training center, so we can reuse that place
<Jackieness> <Kira> "If we have a bar here... who is tending the bar in the actually business front?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> Think we should start setting up survelliance on this planet? If so we'll need a room with loads of monitors.
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session483
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Don't ask me
<Seraphna> Jaime> I don’t really need one here, but Terra would likely enjoy being with her friends.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks at Luci*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You talking about a daycare or something?
<Seraphna> Luci> Max mostly tends the bar, I do the management.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and nods**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Anyway, we need a bolthole just in case,:
<DeathStar> *Asarar makes note of making a room for Logan and the survilliance for Logan and a kid room*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *stretches out*
<Seraphna> **Terra pops next to Sylph and munches an orange**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Does earth's holonet work on this planet? I haven't checked.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I believe so
<Seraphna> Jaime> They have access to the PAX holonet like any member of the Empire.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Any other special room requests?
<DeathStar> *Sylph glances at Terra, then back at the clouds, which look larger and closer to the Academy*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Are any of the rooms earth worked or is it all stone?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We have a rec room on that list?"
<Seraphna> Terra> Storm coming aunt Fru?
<DeathStar> *Asarar glances down* It looks like there is a small rec room
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And what earth what now?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Yes. But I can't feel this storm like other normal storms. It feels off.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "MMmm... I'm thinking more like one of those holorooms..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Does this building have any floors built into the rock instead of just artificial slabs.
<Xanatos> <Logan> If there's an extra room I'll take it. Maybe turn it into a theater or something for relaxing.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> From what I understand, this temple's material is made of unknown material
<Seraphna> Terra> Dark Aunt Fru?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "anywya, aren't these temples secretly capable of flight? Thye wouldn't be slab on grade anyway."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes... it’s annoying to tear through.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *giveS Logan a room for a theater*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’ve done it before but it takes hyperspace.
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I've torn through it, also. *she lays on the ground, like a cat*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Maybe we can throw a few bags of potting soil into a room for you, Jaime.
<Seraphna> Jaime> That will do. I’ll make you all a nice mud pit.
<DeathStar> *Sylph eyes the dark clouds, then picks up Terra, moving to go inside*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Yeah, no knocking holes in the temple. Its a rental."
<Seraphna> **Terra wiggles and hugs her**
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *mumbles in the background about her temple holes*
<Sara> * Chelsea shrugs at Bonnie
<DeathStar> *Asarar stands up* Alright, I think this will do for now. As we settle in, I'll take requests later.
<DeathStar> *Cypher pets Chelsea. Outside the window, the sky darkens as a storm begins to come in and students can be seen taking shelter*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Looks like the weather is turning foul."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm... was there supposed to be a storm today?
<DeathStar> *Sylph warps Terra into the temple, dropping her off*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't pay attention to weather
<Seraphna> Terra> Eeee!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh hey sis. **she smiles to Sylph**
<Xanatos> <Logan> The weather here is weird. Kumen there was no weather most of the time...down in the slums anyway.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *nods to Jaime, peering out side as the wind picks up and howls, rain coming down*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not your work I’m assuming?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *nods to Logan, listening to the storm. Sylph peers outside*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I din't know if they even have a Geyze weather service.."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> .... ? *she turns to Jaime*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’ve caught you playing in storms before.
<DeathStar> *Lumi runs past, drenched
<DeathStar> <Cypher> There she goes again
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...she's still out there..."
<Seraphna> Terra> Hi Lumi Lum Lady
<Xanatos> <Logan> Maybe we should get some of that special grass that calms people down.
<Seraphna> **Terra waves not realizing it’s outside**
<Seraphna> Jaime> I know a girl if you need cannibus.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> No... this wind is not listening to me.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> It's like it came up out of nowhere
<DeathStar> <Sylph> It happens sometimes.... but..
<Xanatos> <Logan> Does it mean something bad or just a wild storm coming through?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Fae’s transfer speeding up?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *waves her hand, perhaps meaning all three*
<DeathStar> *as they are talking the storm seems to be picking up and the sky darkens even more, as a tornado touches down near the student's dorms*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Well if you're not worried I'm not worried. Oh Asrar we need to stock this placess kitchen up.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan pauses and slowly peers out at the tornado
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm. I think that Sparkling girl and that Nicolette girl are about to become one with the wind
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...well..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> That’s not good.
<Xanatos> <Logan> How do we stop that?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Hold on. *she floats outside into the rain to do so*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I guess let the Wind Spirit handle it.
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods and peers back down at the paperwork*
<Seraphna> **Jaime hands Terra to Cypher and follows Sylph out**
<Xanatos> <Logan> I should probably see if I can take a class here to learn about the spirits.
<Seraphna> Terra> Spirits cool! **says the new Earth Spirit**
<DeathStar> *Sylph holds out her hand to control the winds, then blinks as nothing. Sylph comically, being close to a tornado, is swept up and Jaime, having followed, begins to be swept up too*
<DeathStar> *at that moment, the lights flicker - if it wasn't for being an Ancient Temple, they would have lost them*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ...
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...spirits are cool when their magic juice works.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *Glances at Bonnie and Chelsea*
<Sara> <Chelsea> That... is... troubling
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...so...new ideas?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> We might have to move already, boss.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Let the tornado do it's thing?
<Sara> * Chelsea glances at Asarar
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Do you have a better idea? I'm not exactly equipped to fight one
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Not really our area."
<Sara> <Chelsea> I haven't exactly seen any need to create any anti-wind machines considering one of our good friends basically is the wind...
<Xanatos> <Logan> I have an axe and a shotgun. I bet I could mess it up.
<DeathStar> *Asarar thinks as the tornado begins to do damage to the dorm, making students flee*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Is her not being able to stop it normal, Chelsea?
<Sara> <Chelsea> I haven't known her for most of her life, all considered, but I have no reason to believe it is normal.
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleport grabs Sylph and back into the temple**
<DeathStar> *Sylph coughs, wet and dirty*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan hmms, drumming his fingers and squints trying to think.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Do we have one here capable of stopping it?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Do we have any shuttles or flying tipes around here? Could try to counteract the rotation of that wind.
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods* We have the Mew Mew
<DeathStar> *Rain helps get the students out*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I don't know the math behind how it would work but we could try to fly around it in the opposite direction.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can secure the buildings from down here.
<Seraphna> **Jaime summons Gnome and begins to do just that**
<DeathStar> *Cypher peers at Chelsea for her thoughts*
<DeathStar> *Gnome appears, rubbing her eyes sleepily*
<Seraphna> Luci> I can’t hit a storm. I think.
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... I can't imagine that being much but dangerous to us. The most I think we can do is try to evacuate people
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Remember, its the interaction of warm and cold bodies that create the conditions, so change the temperature back to what it was before might help."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey love. We need to keep tornadoes from eating buildings.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So we need the cold spirit and warm spirit?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Okay, I'll go help evacuate. 6* He grabs his coat and runs out to help Rain.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can summon Salamander if you need her.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Maybe... I'm just throwing ideas out here."
<DeathStar> *Sylph eyes the tornado* The wind is not listening to me
<DeathStar> *Rain nods to Logan, the vampire quietly helping students out, when the tornado seems to purposely be trying to chase them - but that's crazy talk*
<Sara> <Chelsea> I do feel like only spirits could fix this... probably. *she heads out after Logan*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If it’s not talking to you... is it possible it’s because it’s not wind so much as someone sentient controlling it?
<DeathStar> *Sylph frowns at that, then follows*
<DeathStar> *at that moment, the tornado chases Sparkling around*
<Seraphna> **Luci heads out to help evacuate**
<Xanatos> 6* Logan waves people on, then squints at it chasing Sparkling and yells for her to draw it away from the school since it's after her
<DeathStar> **the group manages to get the students away*
<DeathStar> <Rain> That is unusual weather behavor
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Do w ehave any sensor gear ready to use?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not really. But let me hook into the satalite above Geyze
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I want to look at what is inside that thing."
<DeathStar> *Asarar works on connecting to it while those evacting the students get them out of the dorm; the tornado begins to suck Sparkling up*
<DeathStar> <Rain> That thing really wants that Maka
<Xanatos> <Logan> Even with my limited knowledge of weather, I know tornados aren't supposed to do that. 6*He runs to grab hold of Sparkling, then takes her and tries to lead the tornado away from the school.
<Xanatos> 6* Dangling her like bait.
<DeathStar> *it pauses as Logan grabs her and chases Logan*
<Sara> * Chelsea focuses on helping the evacuation process, but eyes Logan skeptically for a moment, before jerking at the tornado changing direction
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay, that’s controlled.
<Sara> <Chelsea> WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE!?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Wait, someone made that?
<Xanatos> <Logan> I NEED A MOTORCYCLE OR SOMETHING
<DeathStar> <Rain> A motor what?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Tornadoes don’t make 180 degree turns.
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Tornados don't do that..."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ... *focuses and tries to take control, glowing with a green energy indicating she is burning a lot of spirit energy*
<DeathStar> *the tornado suddenly jerking and beginning to dispel*
<DeathStar> *Asarar brings up the tornado on her screen to Kira* Got it
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers up into where the tornado center was**
<Xanatos> 6* Logan slows to a stop after it stops chasing him and pants, falling down to his knees.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "What have we got?" *looks at the screen*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Take a look
<DeathStar> *The tornado begins to fade away*
<Xanatos> <Logan> You don't....have motorcycles...here? 6* He asks rain, more incredulous about that than the tornado that's been chasing him.
<DeathStar> <Rain> If you mean a man made vehicle, we have such things. *she motions at Chelsea's lab*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *peers at the screen*
<DeathStar> *Sylph falls to her knees and the tornado immediately begins to reform on top of Logan*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> S-Sorry
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Chlsea, we need your brain!"
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Tornados really don't do that!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime tries giving her some direct spirit energy**
<DeathStar> <Rain> It seems it is not gone away
<Xanatos> <Logan> OHSH- 6*He grabs Sparkling back again and tries to run.
<Sara> <Chelsea> If it really is after the Maka girl, then we should get her onto the ship and take her far away from civilization
<DeathStar> *by now the students have been moved to a safer location*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Can you make us fly or teleport!? 6* He asks Sparkling.
<DeathStar> *the tornado chases Logan through the campus*
<Sara> * Chelsea runs to get her ship
<DeathStar> *Cypher follows Chelsea with Bonnie riding on her shoulder*
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Lets see..." *attempts to fly*
<Seraphna> **Luci goes Dragon and swoops in using the force of the wind to snatch the two up, the slingshots away**
<Xanatos> 6* Logan didn't pick a direction and a is sad he's causing damage, looking for a way to circle around and get away from the school bits again.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "At this point, I'd settle for that Jelly guy.. whatever happened to him anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I heard rumors he joined the Dark Ones because they had sexy women
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...aren't the sexy Dark Ones on our side though?"
<DeathStar> *Sparkling bounces like superman*
<DeathStar> *Cypher takes a seat on the Mew Mew*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Ready?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Punch it, we've gotta hurry
<DeathStar> *Cypher flies the Mew Mew out of the hanger*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Anyway, sned these particle readings to Chelsea so she can do soemthing science-like."
<Seraphna> **Luci tries to fly the two away from more property damage**
<DeathStar> *Logan and Sparkling egin to circle back as Asarar sends the readings in - it looks like the tornado is made up of powerful energy, off the scale. It's like the storm was formed by them*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm seeing if I can figure out if there's a comparison
<Xanatos> <Logan> Thanks Luci. Are you making this Sparkling?
<DeathStar> *Luci manages to snag Sparkling and Logan in a bounce and the tornado's winds lash out like an arm*
<DeathStar> *trying to knock them all*
<DeathStar> <Rain> *eats something, watching them all*
<Seraphna> **Luci forms a shield behind her and flies**
<Sara> <Chelsea> Is that Luci? ... Whatever, let's see if we can get a hold of them, we're still faster
<Pache> <SParkling> "Why would I be making it?"
<DeathStar> *Cypher opens the back ramp, the wind/storm howling inside*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie motions for Luci to come in*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I have no idea what's going on. Maybe you lost control or something. Why else does it want to murder you?
<DeathStar> *The tornado begins to grow larger and it looks like there might be a face in it*
<Seraphna> **Luci tucks her wings and flies in**
<DeathStar> *Sylph focuses, trying to do something*
<DeathStar> *the tornado aims to knock the Mew Mew down as they crash inside the back and Cypher closes it up*
<Pache> * Sparkling tries to identify the face
<DeathStar> *it is not one she recognizes it. But it seems unhappy*
<Seraphna> **Luci pops back into a smol teenager and sighs**
<Xanatos> <Logan> I need to learn how to fly and control win.
<Xanatos> (*wind)
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I will give you a glider
<Xanatos> <Logan> I'll take it.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie rummages in the back and puts a glider on Logan's back*
<DeathStar> *Even as the tornado begins to shake the Mew Mew*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Is... is this really the right time?
<Sara> * She stares, in disbelief
<DeathStar> *Cypher turns to Aimee and Melodie*
<Xanatos> <Logan> You watch, we're going to fall out of here and this'll save my life. Thanks Bonnie.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Alright, you two, do your thing
<DeathStar> *the two spirits enter their spirit chambers and the Mew Mew transforms and winks out of existence, appearing in space in a second*
<Seraphna> **Terra offers everyone on the Mew Mew oranges**
<Xanatos> 6* Logan oohs and takes the orange, beginning to eat it.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Well, we did it
<Sara> <Chelsea> *slightly wobbling from the jump* ... Let's see what's happening down on the surface
<Sara> * She scans
<DeathStar> *back on Geyze, the tornado pauses, looking for the ship, then runs over the grounds, looking for Nicolette*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ...
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Oh no! It's a maka seeking tornado!"
<DeathStar> *then seems to turn toward Sylph*
<Seraphna> Luci> I’m sure that’s not a thing.
<Pache> <Sparkling> "What's that then?"
<DeathStar> *the tornado goes for Sylph and lifts her up, with Sylph putting her power into dispelling it*
<Seraphna> **Jaime steps up and eyes the tornado, she looks irate**
<DeathStar> *Asarar looks out the window* What is that thing doing?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Should we go back and try to help...maybe shoot the tornado with this ship?
<Seraphna> **Jaime leaps after her, covered in rock armor as she peers for the source**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Maybe it thinks fairy-looking spirits are close enough."
<Xanatos> 6* He puts and orange wedge in his mouth and chews a bit before pulling the rind out and tossing it in a bin.
<Pache> <Sparkling> "It's magik. It's attracted to magik."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Do you think we could fire a missle at the tornado from here?
<Seraphna> **Terra eats the orange like an apple**
<DeathStar> *the tornado oddly seems to have no source*
<DeathStar> *Sylph works on making the tornado smaller, but is putting a lot of spirit energy into it*
<Sara> <Chelsea> I mean... we could, but... won't it just go flying pretty much anywhere? That's what worries me. I have no idea how to deal with this.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Good point
<Seraphna> **Jaime frown and reaches out her hand, trying to track where the controller is**
<DeathStar> *Jaime gets a good roll and finds -- no controller source to track.*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Is there a wind spirit kid that would have more power than sylph?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s not being controlled....?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Fae. Yeah.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Let's go find her and make her fix this.
<DeathStar> *Fae for her part is looking for fruit*
<Seraphna> **Tera vanishes and reappears with Fae**
<Seraphna> Terra> Mine.
<DeathStar> *Fae blinks*
<DeathStar> *Sylph and Jaime are soon ejected and the tornado moves to take Sylph off*
<Seraphna> Terra> Fix mean wind, give lots fruit.
<DeathStar> *the six year old stares, tilting her head*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grabs at Sylph with TK**
<Seraphna> Terra> **points to it** Bad wind. Eating your Momma.
<DeathStar> *Fae ooohs and vanishes*
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Is this... the Wind I've heard of?"
<DeathStar> *Fae appears to beat up the bad ol tornado and is immediately defeated*
<DeathStar> *she's a kid*
<Seraphna> **Terra munches a fruit**
<Sara> <Chelsea> They seem to have sent a child to fight the tornado, and it seems to have failed
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I see that
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs and catches Fae too**
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Can anyone defeat Wind?"
<DeathStar> *The tornado just takes Jaime. Fine. You'll do. It leaves the spirits behind*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Did none of them think to pact with you?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ack! Hey!
<Xanatos> <Logan> I'll be hoenst I didn't know she was that young. But I did say Kid.
<DeathStar> *Cypher works on something*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Keep that satellite on that rogue storm... its going somewhere."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Oh yeah, those Elder Spirits we had to seek out. 6* Logan's player winks to the camera
<Seraphna> Luci> **peers at Fae and Sylph** How do we become Summoners?
<Pache> <Sparkling> *thinks back on her classes* "You pact with a spirit and..."
<Seraphna> Luci> Fine, pact with me.
<DeathStar> <Asarar on comms> You all depend on the Spirits way too much
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns, keeping a stone shell up so she doesn’t get battered**
<DeathStar> *The tornado slowly works at tkaing it down*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I mean, right?"
<DeathStar> <Cypher> So, we've mentioned cold and hot before. You think we could mimic it techniques with the Mew Mew?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Maybe microwaves or something?
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks, then uses something she hasn’t in a while and starts sinking into the ground as she keeps up the barrier**
<Seraphna> Luci> I hit things and sing.
<DeathStar> *Asarar sends the numbers to the Elder's School to Logan while Sylph sits up and eyes Luci*
<Seraphna> Luci> I don’t know science, but I know protecting people and beating up baddies.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Wait
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I got an idea
<DeathStar> *Cypher whispers in Chelsea's ear*
<Sara> * Chelsea's ear twitches
<Xanatos> <Logan> Let's be honest, I'm just a useless gopher who happens to be big...and I'm not even the big guy on the team because there's a damn dog man wandering around. 6* He takes the numbers and steps to the side to call the elder spirits and see if they're available to help as a backup.
<Sara> <Chelsea> I guess it's all we can try at this point, Cy
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Tornados do their thing on land right, unlike hurricanes
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Unless there's water tornados
<Pache> <Sparkling> "You mean a fauna?"
<DeathStar> *Cypher flies them in while Jaime sneaks into the ground. While Logan gets Gale on the phone, Cypher uses microwave beams on the tornado*
<DeathStar> *Trying to disrupt it* <Cypher> I'll let you try to catch it
<Sara> <Chelsea> The more I would have thought about it I'd almost have said fill it with water, then freeze it, then defeat it, but ... I'm not a summoner, just a common mage
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Hmmmm
<DeathStar> *Bonnie steps out to the back of the ship*
<DeathStar> *Her hair turning white*
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Will freezing it make it not able to move? Wait, if a tornado can't move, is it still a tornado?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> That seems like a philosophical question
<Xanatos> 6* Logan informs Gale of the problem and asks if she would be able to help should their other attempts to quell the tornado fail.
<Seraphna> **Terra does her best to help by providing the team with... Watermelons.**
<DeathStar> *As they get over the tornado, Bonnie leaps out and falls into it, using aw ater attack on it; sadly she is beaten around and her clothes get torn up and thrown around, then caught, the tornado choosing her now to take after Bonnie does the water attack in it*
<DeathStar> *Gale appears in the ship*
<Seraphna> **Terra tosses a watermelon out after her**
<Sara> <Chelsea> So... this is a person-eating tornado. Tornado, Lady Gale. Lady Gale, Tornado. Everyone's introduced now.
<DeathStar> *Gale studies the tornado* Hm, this tornado is not a tornado, but a person I think
<DeathStar> *The watermelon hits the tornado, making it catch it and let go of Bonnie for a second*
<Pache> <Sparkling> "It really is Wind?!"
<DeathStar> *Bonnie then tries to freeze the tornado, but only partially succeeds before she is regrabbed*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Who?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I tried to trace the control but there was nothing... **wipes dirt off her shoulders**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Could...you stop this? 6* He asks Gale, pointing out at the tornado.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So that would suggest it is controlling itself.
<Pache> <Sparkling> "There's someone called Wind, and they're powerful and... I don't know anything else about them."
<DeathStar> *Gale plays with her short hair and poofs out, attacking the tornado and slices it in half, making it a mini-tornado and bringing Bonnie back inside*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wind doesn’t make tornados. And he’s kind of classy.
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Oh. What kind of air magik does he use?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> Wait a person? 6* He pulls out his pistol, sets it to stun and stars blasting towards the tornado because why the hell not
<Seraphna> Jaime> None, he’s a progenitor.
<Xanatos> 6* From the ship ramp, that is.
<Pache> * Sparkling blinks, obviously confused by this information
<DeathStar> *the stun shot hits the tornado and it disperses*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I guess technically my uncle. Like Drasek.
<DeathStar> *fading into nothing and the sky returns to nothing*
<DeathStar> *to blue*
<Seraphna> Jaime> But less drunk.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Holy shit. I should've shot the thing ages ago.
<DeathStar> *Gale sighs at no one recognizing how great she is and instead of talking about this Wind
<DeathStar> *oddly also, the wind seems to stop blowing*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Thank you Lady Gale.
<Pache> <Sparkling> "... I guess sometimes, you do have to just shoot. Don't worry Gale, you're classy too."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Thank you for saving Bonnie. I'll make sure Asarar gets you paid.
<Seraphna> Terra> **gives her a cantaloupe**
<DeathStar> *Sylph rubs her arm a bit, eyeing the area* ...
<Seraphna> Terra> Say hi to Auntie Gaia.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Something about this still feels ominous
<Xanatos> <Logan> Bring us downt to land Cypher, let's see who that was.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I agree
<Sara> <Chelsea> I hope she didn't just kill the intangible concept of wind
<DeathStar> *the Mew Mew flies down, with Melodie and Aimee play wrestling. The dorm has taken a little damage and the students are returning*
<DeathStar> *so far, the wind has not blown once*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan walks off the back and moves over to where the tornado was to see who it may have been.
<Seraphna> **Jaime works at putting it right, carrying Gnome around like a cat**
<DeathStar> *no sign of a body*
<DeathStar> *or anything*
<Sara> * Chelsea rubs her temples
<DeathStar> <Sylph and Gale> *look at the sky as the students are ushered back into their rooms by Rain*
<DeathStar> *Sylph and Gale whisper conspiratorally*
<Sara> <Chelsea> All of this stuff has to happen when I'm the smart one left... *she mumbles to herself*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan scratches his head, looking around. He pulls out a datapad and starts scanning around for life under the ground or something.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "OK, the show is over."
<DeathStar> *Logan finds just typical stuff*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Where the fuck is the body I stunned!?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I think you stunned the wind
<Seraphna> Luci> I think the wind was the body.
<Xanatos> <Logan> ....this place makes zero sense.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.1.10
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* Several days after Sessions 179-182, the group has been getting ready for the new semester. Sylph is in her outfit and greeting the new students and everything seems normal - well outside the fact of the rumors at the Legion and the stuff on Kumen lately*
<DeathStar> *the wind is even blowing, or is it?*
<DeathStar> *Asarar relaxes in the temple, having gotten used to it the past few months lately*
<DeathStar> *Lumi sits in Asarar's office, eyeing notes*
<Seraphna> **Thena sits in there too, playing a game**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> So, it looks like Princess Selena has responded
<Xanatos> <Logan> I need a new project. I did the surveillance room with the satellite access and the secret cameras...I did the theater room thing with the nice seats and the snack bar. I put a loft in my room....and then took it down again when it didn't feel safe.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It looks like it was in code but we managed to decipher it
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Anyone told her aunt yet?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Of course
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It was titled to her
<Xanatos> <Logan> Is it serious?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It looks like Selena is aware that Eve might be doing a power play, but for some reason is allowing it right now. And to not worry
<DeathStar> <Lumi> And that the Legion concerns might be legit
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So... has the Alliance considered employing semi-independenct agents?"
<Xanatos> 6* Logan scratches his chin at that.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Best I can do access wise is to act as one of Salamander’s Summoni.
<Xanatos> <Logan> We could probably infiltrate the Legion if we needed. It's not like they're doing dna scans here.
<DeathStar> *Vyvy can be seen outside with the Elder Spirits, latching onto them and trying to get close to them*
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...though I'd probably need to hide my tattoos. I'm screwed.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs a bit at Vyvy**
<DeathStar> *Bonnie plays with some yarn*
<DeathStar> *Vyvy seems to be spending her time at the Elder School lately*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, we could check it out I suppose, but I feel like we'd stick out like a sore thumb.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I mean, what do we know about them
<Xanatos> <Logan> I just know what little i've read. There's a book about the kingdoms I swiped from the library.
<DeathStar> *Asarar glances at Chelsea, their expert*
<Xanatos> <Logan> You know there's a group of mostly women? You and Kira would fit in well there.
<DeathStar> *Sylph soon enters, finishing class early today and grabs a beer and sits down*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ...
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Power play or not, I don't know Sel being isolated like this."
<Seraphna> Jaime> The Legion is Patriarchal, the Amazons are Matriarchal.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So your concern is still the Hapian Dynasty
<Jackieness> <Kira> "This would be a mission for the boys."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way she could take over would be to do a coup and murder all other lines of succession to the throne.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> She has the power of authority right now, but Selena is the true heir. It's like the prince being too young and having viceroy being in charge of you until you're of age
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Its a regency."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But if Selena died under mysterious circumstances
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Eve Hapian would be in trouble I would think
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I also think if Selena declared herself queen she could take over but that's just me
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Unless she could frame someone else who would also stand to benefit."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Wait how old is Selena?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> 18. On the cusp of becoming queen
<Xanatos> <Logan> ....18 isn't old enough? You sure?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> She is. I think The only reason Celes didn't hand it over when she left is she felt she wasn't ready
<Seraphna> Jaime> In the Empire we consider 17 to be adulthood.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Maturity issue."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Hm. Poor young 18 year old girl.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> It's why I said if she declared it herself, I don't think there would be problems
<DeathStar> <Cypher> But what do I know
<Xanatos> <Logan> So what are possible ways she could play for power if it could easily be taken away from her at the whim of a young lady?
<DeathStar> *Sylph tilts her head*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I guess if Aska backs Eve?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or Eve made Selena seem too inexperienced yet and she needed to stay in control for her sake
<Xanatos> <Logan> I still don't get how the spirits could sway any of that.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Divine right. By the grace of the Spirit."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> People ask our opinions a lot.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Most of our nations revere their spirits.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Do you think it's weird Sylph? I think it's weird.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Heck, the Queens of the Great Forest do like half of Terra's babysitting.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Why do you think I'm not around politics?
<DeathStar> *Sylph drinks her beer*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I'm free as the wind
<Seraphna> Teera> Fru for all. **gives Sylph an apple**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Ha. 6* He nods his approval at Sylph, sitting down to pop some grapes in his mouth.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Politicians have rotten fruit?"
<DeathStar> *Asarar thinks* Alright, so we have a group concerned about Selena and a group to look ito the Legion. So lets do two groups
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll even ask for some back up. Who wants to look into the Hapian issues and who wants to look into the Mad King Leer issue?
<DeathStar> *Asarar leans over to Logan, bringing up some male companions for him to call on - faces like Chad, Darien, Ben, etc*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I'll do the Legion shit I guess.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Any of these bro types look alright to you?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Frnakly, would be easier if the guys formed their own team to deal with the Legion."
<Xanatos> <Logan> May as well ask for them all and see who shows up.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I may be the only practical contact you all have for the Legion, so I should probably go there... though I am deeply concerned about Selena.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll go with the boys, too. To supervise
<Xanatos> <Logan> If only you could clone yourself Jaime then you could be in two places.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Mad king wha..." She shakes her head, "I'm staying here either way. I was supposed to help Selena, and I've failed miserably at that so far."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I haven't figured out how Thena manages it yet.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie gets on Logan's shoulder, going with him in cat form*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan offers Bonnie a grape.
<DeathStar> *Frost flails in the background as Vyvy pounces*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Team Hapian:
<DeathStar> *Cypher walks with Chelsea up to the castle doors, being allowed through; it looks like the soldiers have doubled for protection*
<DeathStar> *Vyvy hums, having joined them, and Neekito casually adjusts her maid outfit, moving in with them*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...barely recognize the place. Reminds me a lot of 'home'."
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, having gone full blast with the appearing as Gnome's Wife side for this**
<DeathStar> *Neekito leads them inside, having ties to the castle*
<DeathStar> *as they step inside, maids bow and greet them* Hello. Welcome to Hapian Castle
<Jackieness> <Kira> *has also decided to go with the Hapian team to keep an eye out since Asarar went with the Legion team*
<DeathStar> *The maids lead them up the castle; the castle seems as beautiful as ever and things seem to be in order, despite there being a tense atmosphere in places. Like people are preparing for .. something*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *whisper* "...can you feel it?"
<DeathStar> *they are lead to the upper levels of the castle and shown to the throne room where Eve Hapian is on a seat - not on the throne, but a chair next to it, showing respect to the throne it seems. Her hair is blonde and eyes blue, a strange contrast to the other Hapians that many have seen with their black hair and red eyes, and Selena is beside her with Luna, with her red hair and red eyes*
<DeathStar> *Selena wearing a beautiful dress and hair done up, looking like a princess for once, as is Luna.*
<DeathStar> <Eve> *studies the group as they enter and Neekito bows*
<Seraphna> **Jaime gives Selena and smile and a wink as she nods to her**
<Ariel> * Nicolette just blinks
<Pache> * Sparkling... doesn't seem to recognise Luna.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Welcome. You are Selena's friends. That means you are friends of Hapian
<DeathStar> *Asarar studies everything, taking it in*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Indeed, and the Suisen Empire is happy to be friends with the Hapian Kingdom. As it is with all of Geyze.
<Ariel> * Nicolette curtseys. Even if she's usually here all the time, today seems oddly... formal.
<Sara> * Chelsea fidgets, awkward in formal situations
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I feel udnerdressed now..."
<Pache> * Sparkling curtseys too, because Nicolette did, so it's probably the right thing to do.
<DeathStar> <Eve> *motions them to relax* We'll prepare a meal to celebrate your visiting this evening. For now - Selena, please see to your friends and their accomodations
<DeathStar> *Selena inclines her head and takes Luna's hand, moving to join the team* Please, join me. *she motions and walks out of the throne room*
<DeathStar> *Neekito follows along while Eve leans back, watching them go*
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves with Selena, seeming to skate along more than walk**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks along with Selena and Luna... then whispers* "...signal when its safe to speak frankly."
<Ariel> * Nicolette follows a step behind Selena, feeling this isn't the time for familiarity
<DeathStar> *Selena smiles at Kira and soon they are in beautiful bedrooms* Here is your rooms. *she closes the doors after they are all in the rooms*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *then puts Luna on the bed*
<DeathStar> <Selena> It is good to see you all again. *she gives Nicolette a hug, then Jaime*
<Ariel> * Nicolette returns the hug, and seems to loose a lifetime worth of tension.
<Seraphna> **Jaime hugs back** So, what's up? I can make a mental link if you want. Hard to overhear that.
<DeathStar> <Selena> We can talk freely here
<DeathStar> *Cypher takes a seat in a chair, crossing her arms and Neekito paces*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and takes a seat, putting Luna in her lap and giving her a treat**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "OK. Your aunt is worried about you and your sister. They turned her away at the gate last time she came to visit."
<DeathStar> <Selena> I heard about that. I'm sorry. I think Aunt Eve is trying to isolate us
<DeathStar> <Selena> If it wasn't for all of you pushing so hard and she couldn't be forced to let you see us
<Sara> * Luna is quiet, frowning
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So... was it true? Did your aunt's mother try to assassinate you?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, that woman. Already tried to assassinate her own daughter.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'm not sure if that is true, but there was someone who tried something in the castle a few months ago. Someone wanted me out of the way.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I think personally someone is trying to start something
<DeathStar> <Selena> I've been reading the reports and it feels like the past few months things have been unusual between my kingdom and the Legion, and the Legion and the Dark Lands
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Something's definitely up."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Eve is the best positioned person to assume emergency powers..."
<DeathStar> *Selena cups her hands* But if a war broke out, I'm not exactly in the position to be queen
<Sara> * Luna looks over at her sister questioningly
<Seraphna> Jaime> I was wondering, why is that Selena?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I don't have the experience or wisdom; people would die
<DeathStar> <Selena> Aunt Eve at least is older than me
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Surround yourself with loyal but knowledgeable advisors."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Did she sit on the throne while a civil war erupted here?
<DeathStar> <Selena> And how would I know who that would be? I've been learning slowly who to trust but it's still difficult. My lessons weren't finished
<Jackieness> <Kira> "From what I read, she participated in a coup staged by some rogue magisters against Celes."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Even with my Aunt continuing them
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *just listens*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, seems to me there's ultimately only one person in this kingdom who can really deem if you're ready to rule or not.
<Sara> <Luna> Sister. Being older isn't being smart
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Why don't you see how Aska feels about it?
<Sara> <Luna> Some adults are really really dumb, but think they are really smart.
<DeathStar> *Selena blinks at Luna*
<Seraphna> Jaime> She's the one spirit who actually gets involved in the politics. And since you as ruler would be working with her, I think she has the whole experience and wisdom thing covered. You don't need to be old to be a good ruler.
<Ariel> * Nicolette giggles at the unexpected wisdom.
<Pache> <Sparkling> "I want to agree, but I don't know anything about politics and leadership."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Sparkling, you know about justice, right?"
<DeathStar> *Selena considers*
<DeathStar> <Selena> It might not hurt to talk to Aska. But Luna is a smart girl
<DeathStar> *she hugs*
<Pache> <Sparkling> "Absolutely!"
<Sara> * Luna gives a little smile... for a moment. She seems like she's been less happy in general however, with how things have been recently, unsurprisingly.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So you do have somethignt hat you cna teach." *llooks over* "Take it from a mother."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I don't think your parents would have left the kingdom in your hands if they didn't think you could handle it Sel. Eve was only supposed to watch out for you, not take over for you.
<DeathStar> <Selena> *raises an eyebrow and lets out a breath*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Aska, come forth
<DeathStar> *the room is filled with light*
<DeathStar> *Aska steps forth and lifts Luna up, peering at everyone. Next to her is Soren, looking like most of the light power is coming from her*
<Ariel> * Nicolette pulls down her hat to shade her eyes
<Seraphna> **Terra hops over and hugs Soren**
<Sara> * Luna lets out a little noise at being lifted
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hello Aska.
<DeathStar> <Aska> *the light tones down* You wish to speak with me>?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Um
<DeathStar> *Selena thinks how to phrase it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Selena has some questions for you about her ability to rule. **She smiles helpfully**
<Pache> <Sparkling> "She's been worrying that she's lacking experience and wisdom, but that feels like a sign that she has the wisdom part."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Yes, I feel like that Aunt Eve is more right for the throne right now. And I need to learn still, especially if there is a possibility of conflict and war breaking out between our Kingdoms and the Dark Ones
<DeathStar> *Aska listens* They say what makes a Queen is her overcoming the conflict and coming out the other side. You will not be ready until you are ready to take the throne yourself. Only you will know when you're ready
<Seraphna> Jaime> You've seen many queens, Aska, has age and experience ever overridden foolishness or folly?
<DeathStar> <Aska> We are all fools until the day we die.
<Pache> <Sparkling> "That can't be true, can it?"
<DeathStar> <Aska> We will still be learning to fix mistakes and the pain we've created until the end, it is a matter of learning to do better
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Soudns pretty true to me."
<Ariel> * Nicolette nudges Selena in the side, "Anyways, just being queen doesn't mean you have to do everything yourself."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Nor does age mean you're not ready. What matters is if you feel you can do the job of being a leader and making decisions... even with help.
<DeathStar> *Selena lets out a breath, peering at Nicolette* You are right. Just incase this doesn't go the way it should, be sure to take Luna with you to the Academy.
<DeathStar> *Selena rises, adjusting her dress*
<Pache> <Sparkling> "It's alright to seek help. In fact, that's wisdom itself."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Right... how do you want to play this?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Would you mind another Princess there to witness?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I will talk to my Aunt and inform her I am ready to take the throne.
<DeathStar> *Selena leads them to the throne room; Neekito takes Luna*
<Seraphna> **Jaime walks with her**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks at the others* "Well..."
<DeathStar> *As they enter the throne room, Eve is talking to some advisors and some Hapian Generals*
<DeathStar> *Cypher looks at them*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ... So, who thinks this will not end badly? *after she leaves*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I'm expecting to fight our way out."
<DeathStar> *Selena clears her throat politely*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *As she draws eyes to herself* I would like to announce something. *As Eve looks at her* Aunt, I want to thank you for all you've done these past few months, ruling in my stead and helping wiht my education. *she inclines her head* I will be taking the throne and resuming my duties to the Hapian people by becoming the Queen.
<DeathStar> *Eve is quiet, a flicker on her face for a moment* I understand. We will announce your coronation as soon as people for the people and see you crowned the new Queen of Hapian as soon as possible
<Pache> * Sparkling watches
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks her over, reading her**
<Ariel> * Nicolette says a quiet prayer under her breath
<DeathStar> *Eve rises and nods to the generals and advisors* We will have to put this on hold as we prepare for the Crown Princess' coronation and set a date
<DeathStar> *Eve strides out of the room and the advisors congratulate Selena before leaving*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *lets out a breath
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well now I have to see if I make it to whatever date is set
<Pache> * Sparkling looks over to Nicolette, wondering if she has the same suspicion
<DeathStar> *She quietly sits down on the throne*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'll be sure to check in regularly. Guards aren't much of an issue for a goddess.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I smell trouble brewing..."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I agree. *she takes Luna's hand*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Should one of us stay behind and watch over her?
<Sara> * Luna looks unsure
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I mean... probably. I'll be staying, and getting notes from school sent over, but one of your team would be wise in case."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Probably wouldn't be a bad idea... also report to her aunt what happened as soon as we get back to the academy, assuming she doens't hear first."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can spend the night at least. Even take our new Queen for a trip up to the PAX.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Okay. *she kneels down* Luna. Would you like to come back to the Academy with me. A new semester of school is beginning and you can see your friends
<Pache> <Sparkling> "I think sticking close is better watching over... oh right, classes!"

<DeathStar> *A blue cat is sent to bother Chad Winters*
* ChadWinters` glances up from his room at Aya's on the PAX. 1"Now what did Dawn decide to adopt."
* ChadWinters` eyes the blue cat, tapping his pointer finger as he eyes it.
<DeathStar> *the blue cat begins to tug Chad along, surprisingly strong*
<DeathStar> *headed for the teleporters*
* ChadWinters` grabs his back pack as he's tugged out, an annoyed look on his face before he starts walking along. 1"I feel like a headache is about to come on."
<DeathStar> *Chad is led to Logan*
<DeathStar> *the blue cat leaves and soon drags Darien in*
* ChadWinters` crosses his arms, eyeing Logan. 1"Wasn't expecting to see anyone from your group anytime soon."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ah, you came
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she is gathering Legion stuff*
* ChadWinters` glances over at Asarar. 1"Didn't seem I had a choice, and opening fire on the PAX is heavily frowned upon."
<Xanatos> <Logan> We're going to the Legion to figure out why that Mykel guy is being a prick. Their semi-modern now that they've had links with the PAX but i think your standard earth gear will probably stick out.
<ChadWinters`> Legion area...6He scratches his chin a bit. 1"I should have gear to fit in for their region."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *leans on his cane*
<DeathStar> <Darien> And why is it only men?
<DeathStar> *Darien texts someone*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Boys club
<Xanatos> <Logan> They're a patriachary, so men have more power generally. Sounds boring to me.
* ChadWinters` pulls out his datapad and sends a message to someone. 1"Archaic system."
<DeathStar> *Darien nods and steps away, soon appearing in a Roman-esque outfit*
<DeathStar> <Darien> There
<DeathStar> *The blue cat arrives with Ben*
<ChadWinters`> 6A shadow shifts beside Chad and a bag is through upwards for Chad to grab.
<Xanatos> <Logan> I don't know what that outfit is.
<ChadWinters`> Are you expecting combat? 6He looks between the two, ignoring Dariens poor choice.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Not usually.
* ChadWinters` drops the bag he brought with on to the shadow and it falls in to it, disappearing. 1"That's good to hear." He moves off to change.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie appears, ears twitching*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So ready?
* ChadWinters` steps back out from a side room, wearing more common legionaire clothing that's weathered and worn a bit, having been used.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie leans in*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> So, boys, are you ready to have fun? <Darien> ... sure. <Ben> Why am I here?
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<ChadWinters`> Same question I asked myself.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Most of the people who handle this sort of thing took a mystery portal to the past and are probably dead. We needed some fill ins while the rest of the team deals with some royalty issues.
<DeathStar> <Ben> I see. *he makes a Warren grimace* Fine. *Asarar opens the teleporter* There you go
<Xanatos> <Logan> We will need nicknames. Mine is Strong Bear. Asarar is Momma Cougar. 6* He says straight faced.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ...
<DeathStar> <Bem> I am Dragon
* ChadWinters` grunts and moves to the teleporter
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wind
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Blue!
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> He's Grunts-A-Lot
<Xanatos> <Logan> Hah. Nice names. 6* He moves for the teleporter.
<DeathStar> *The team arrives in the Legion, where things look pretty much the same, outside the technology being reduced by Mykel. The armed forces seems to have indeed been increased*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Oh. Sending you each data sheets on this region and Hapian so you know what the whole point of this is. 6* He pulls out his datapad and taps a bit before pocketing it again.
<DeathStar> *Ben eyes it* So it looks like that the Legion and the Dark Lands are acting odd and the Legion is building up forces on the border of the Hapian lands and the Amazons
<ChadWinters`> You're worried a war's about to start because the various kingdoms have been making moves about themselves.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Yup. So this is mostly recon, trying to sort out why it's suddenly happening.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I know a pretty blonde that could eat him.
<DeathStar> *as they move about the people seem to be acting normal ,despite the armed build up*
<DeathStar> *running their stores and selling their goods in the capital*
<ChadWinters`> Most likely someone behind the scenes.
<DeathStar> *Ben moves to talk to the ladies of the Legion*
<ChadWinters`> I'm surprised your team hasn't already figured out who's behind all this. 6He idly wonders as he glances up at the sky then towards the capital building.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *on comm* That Mykel has gone insnae or someone is controlling him?
<ChadWinters`> More likely he's just being manipulated. My files on him don't paint him as a bright man.
Session Time: Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 2020
* ChadWinters` has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 198 seconds)

<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm maybe
* Retrieving #TAW-Session483TheOtherStory modes...
Session Start: Sun Dec 06 06:23:37 2020
<ChadWinters`> But I suppose it's possible that he cracked under the pressure of running an entire nation.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We'll look into that possibility
<ChadWinters`> Either way, I suppose this is going to take some time.
Session Time: Mon Dec 07 00:00:00 2020
<DeathStar> *Asarar sends Bonnie out to gather information from the populace*
* Pache is now known as Alicia
<DeathStar> *Bonnie bothers the citizens*
* ChadWinters` looks around for a high easily accessible vantage point.
<DeathStar> *Chad finds himself on top of a building with a billboard overlooking the city*
* ChadWinters` leans against the billboard, watching for any troop movements, mostly in an attempt to get an idea of the current state of the city
<DeathStar> *there are a lot around the capital building, protecting it, and a lot around camps near the city, training and getting in military shape, and near enough to get into the city to stop trouble*
<DeathStar> *even with them being on a mountain and the troops below it*
* ChadWinters` taps his ear. 1"Seem's we can confirm the troop up building and training. They're ready for something."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Sounds fun
<ChadWinters`> <C> In theory they'd have to get some permission from the Fire Spirit. If they were planning on a war, they Spirit could just cut them all off from her powers.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not exactly from what I hear. There was a war once betweem the Amazons and the Legion and Salamander and Brooke, back then called Undine, who was more hot headed believe it or not, faught
<DeathStar> *fought
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think if Salamander gave her displeasure the populace might turn against a war though but they could still go ahead. If she cut giving her power they'd just use normal weapons
<ChadWinters`> <C> Times have changed. Odds are with their access to the PAX and well everything now, they have access to weapons stronger than what Salamander offers.
<ChadWinters`> <C> That leaves us two options. We talk to Salamander to find out what she knows or we talk to Mykel.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good point. LEts talk to the former first.
<ChadWinters`> Then let the others know. 6He moves to climb back down and head towards the spirit temple
<DeathStar> *Asarar follows and Bonnie soon rides Chad's shoulder*
* ChadWinters` makes his way, knowing where it is.
<DeathStar> *as they enter the temple, they find Salamander relaxing and she looks up*
* ChadWinters` steps inside, taking the area in to freshen his memory before locking his gaze on Salamander
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Hot tea?
* ChadWinters` studies her for a moment then nods. 1"I've heard good things about this regions teas."
<DeathStar> *Salamander pours the teA* I take it you're here about the recent events
* ChadWinters` takes the cup as his sits down. 1"Yes."
<DeathStar> <Salamander> It seems Mykel has been ordering an increase in military forces and been changing out leadership the past months. Some people wonder if it's to lock down his new regime.
<ChadWinters`> Seem's counterproductive considering the Alliance and the peace treaty among all the nations
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I agree. *she hands the tea*
* ChadWinters` takes a sip. 1"And how do you feel about it?"
<DeathStar> <Salamander> But so far I can't detect anything. I been keeping an eye on him, but he's been not seeing me or asking me advice. I don't think he's this shapeshifter though. Or wive would have detected it. So I am hoping he is just a bad King
<ChadWinters`> Hmmm. What if she's been replaced?
<ChadWinters`> Or both.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> A scary thought. I could teleport a Maka in. Just give me one of those little ones
<ChadWinters`> I don't have control over that. But that's an option. It just seems odd that she'd allow him to act this way at all unless she herself has been compromised.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I agree. I just assume she is also idiotic in leadership. You could talk to Shinobu in the Dark Lands. She hasn't been coming much since he became a King
<ChadWinters`> If he were to go to war, what would you do? Allow this nation to use your powers?
<DeathStar> <Salamander> If it was unjust? Probably not
<ChadWinters`> What determines it's unjust in your eyes?
<DeathStar> <Salamander> *smiles, looking a bit of old* I suppose that comes down to factors set by my own judgment. Is this a war that the Legion needs to thrive and become stronger. *Salamander is the warrior Spirit, but also the spirit of heroes* Is it a war to defend yourself. Is it a war you absolutely have to start because you have no other choice - in olden times, sometimes factors meant the land was poor and you ahd to find other land and talking failed. Things of that nature.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Sounds like none of those would be up though
<ChadWinters`> Those times have passed.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Indeed
<ChadWinters`> So I ask you this then, what are the odds that Mykel would continue with his current path if you threatened to pull out your support?
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I have no idea since he's not talking to me. I have seen them do it a few times in the past before with out me. It has happened. And this new world seems to need us spirits less and less. I think in a few generations we will be obsolete
Session Time: Tue Dec 08 00:00:02 2020
<ChadWinters`> I doubt that.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> We'll see
<ChadWinters`> But I do believe if his intent is to start a war, he will do it without you. We're just trying to make sure that if that is the case, that they have all the information to stop it. 6He motions at Bonnie and Asarar
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, we will keep an eye on Asarar and make sure he doesn't try to kidnap her and use her. *jots notes* And make sure we use Sabrina or Sparkling to examine him
* ChadWinters` finishes his tea. 1"I've seen people latch upon your abilties like one needs oxygen to survive, Salamander. I don't think you have to worry about being obsolete anytime soon.
<DeathStar> *Salamander muses* Perhaps you're right. *Asarar snickers*
<ChadWinters`> I have one last question to ask you. 6He leans to the side a bit, resting his head on his hand. 1"Let's say Mykel and his wife are clean and he's just became a mad king and she's allowed it. Then what?"
<DeathStar> <Salamander> The people will have to decide to deal with them. I will speak my mind, of course, about what I think, but I can't force it. It's not my place to get into the politics. ... *looks uncomfortable.* If things progress too far I might fight against the army if begin to injure other Kingdoms. Only because they are no longer true to the nature of the Legion
<ChadWinters`> Well hopefuly you're not forced to cross that bridge.
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *muses* We should just put one of our own in the Legion seat, like Luci or Logan or Chelsea.
<ChadWinters`> Whoevers the easiest to control and isn't an idiot. 6He glances at Asarar. 1"But I imagine they have their laws to keep foreigners from seizing power.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Darn
<ChadWinters`> Could just plot to murder his wife and have one of yours marry Mykel to control him. 6He looks with a stoic face.
<DeathStar> *Asarar thinks* Hm hm hm hm. Alita might get mad when she got back from the past.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyway, lets get back.
* ChadWinters` pulls out a small comms unit and holds it out to Salamander. 1"In case something changes. Tap the button, and it'll go directly to me."
<DeathStar> *she takes it* I will
* ChadWinters` nods to her and turns to go.
