<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.5.16
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Capital
<DeathStar> *after being ambushed in the under city, the group tries to use the map and work their way to the palace*
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla leading the way while Shretrav has been poisoned*
<Seraphna> **Michelle keeps her bow ready, a frown on her face**
<DeathStar> *Shion muses, peering about the same looking areas, the heavy acidic rain pouring down here*
<DeathStar> *it threatening to melt their boots*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin has his pistol out, glancing around as they move.
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session524
<DeathStar> <Ako> I don't like this place; it is messing with my sense of smell
<Xanatos> <Kellin> What do we need to do to heal Shretrav's poison?
<Seraphna> **Michelle has shifted back to the ceiling of the walkways, giving them a better lookout**
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> Her natural healing will fight against it, she just needs time
<Seraphna> Michelle> I put a stop on it too, so that should help.
<Alicia> <Asha> "All I can smell is this rain."
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla pauses after a while at a huge crypt that looks half eaten away due to acidic back wash*
<DeathStar> *it appears to be a dead end, with a wall behind it*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Need more acid-resistant infrastructure, I think.
<Alicia> <Asha> "You'd think they'd have some way to deal with it."
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> This place was built long ago, I don't think they had such things in mind
<DeathStar> <Shion> Plus Tsvrixsh don't care much for builders
<Seraphna> MIchelle> Maybe when this is all over we can look into fixin' their atmosphere.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Unless it's ships
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla moves over to the crypt and begins to kneel down, not caring about the rain backwash burning her skin a bit and begins to play with the crypt, eyeing the map that the water is threatening to get all wet*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Well, I guess if it's new they just haven't gotten around to it."
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> Lets see.... *there appears to be symbols, what are left on it; the map has matching symbols, but they appear to be different*
<Alicia> <Asha> "The symbols are different... does that mean this is the wrong place?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> No, this is where it led us.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Maybe we can put em in the same order somehow?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Or the acid has marred them in some way.
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla runs her hand along the crypt itself, sliding it along after Michelle says that, and the sybols on the crypt push in a bit*
<DeathStar> *symbols
<Alicia> <Asha> "Oh, it's a code! Press the right symbols to get in!"
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> Well... hm. *she stands up to eye the map when a gust of rain comes in, the map with the symbols goes flying*
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> ... oops
<Alicia> * Asha rushes after to try to grab it
<Seraphna> **MIchelle fires an arrow trying to pin it**
<DeathStar> *Asha grabs it as the arrow flies through a piece of it*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Good job...Asha ... and Michelle?
<Alicia> * Asha brings it back, holding it carefully while looking at the symbols
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Well that was a double close one.
<DeathStar> *her tails look soaked and she seems unhappy. Ako looks pissed*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin shakes at his shoes, frowning adn the damage.
<Xanatos> (at the)
<DeathStar> *the symbols are right there. IT seems Asha will need to push in the right ones*
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> I never had the patience for solving ancient riddles
<Alicia> <Asha> "Which ones have been pushed so far?" *listens, then pushes the others on the map*
<DeathStar> *as Asha pushes in the right ones, the crypt shakes and slides against the wall, opening up to form a strange looking ladder that goes up to the ceiling that slides open as the ladder continues to extend upward*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Couldn't we have just ... destroyed the ceiling?
<Alicia> <Asha> "I guess?"
<DeathStar> *Shion tilts her head up* It looks like it goes pretty far up
<Seraphna> Michelle> Might have caused a lot more noise doin' that. Even if they know we're comin. Shall we?
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla makes a sigh, slugging Shretrav over her shoulder once more and begins to climb up the ladder*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Yes." *heads up the ladder* *cue MGS music*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... *follows Asha*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin lets out a low whistle to himself and follows Ako
<DeathStar> *Shion moves after Michelle*
<DeathStar> *figuring she'd want to be with Kellin*
<Seraphna> **Michelle moves along with Kellin, behind Kellin, having a good time**
<DeathStar> *the ladder climb seems to go and on. Ako after a bit mumbles out a song as they climb; at least the storm is no longer pounding them*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Nice little song, no more rain. Things are looking up.
<DeathStar> <Shion> ...I hope we all stamina for this. ... I can't see the top
<Alicia> <Asha> "I hope Ako doesn't run out of breath before we reach the top."
<DeathStar> <Shion> That would be bad if she fell down on top of us
<DeathStar> *Ako scowls while singing louder in defiance*
<Seraphna> Michelle> If anyone needs a rest I can just stick you to a wall.
* Dias` has joined #TAW-Session524
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla reaches the top and pushes agianst the ceiling, the group entering what appears to be a dusty room*
<DeathStar> *it has lots of Tsivrixsh paintings and "treasures". Weapons, relics, stuff of their history about*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... *takes deep breaths, peering about* Thomas would ... love this
<Xanatos> <Kellin> As a non-Thomas I'm a fan as well.
<Seraphna> Michelle> I lost track, did he go with the others? **she muses, not breathing at all**
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm not big on history, but this is a nice place anyway."
<DeathStar> <Shion> I believe he Kyun
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla slugs Shretrav off in a corner*
<DeathStar> *he is with
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah, they might be in trouble too.
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> There
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> The meeting with the council is suppose to be in the council chambers, but after being ambushed we know that is going to be a mess. Let's find out where we are
<Alicia> * Asha looks at the map
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin kneels to check on Shretrav's health just to make sure she's fighting off the poison on her own.
<DeathStar> *she opens the door and the team finds themselves in the upper part of the palace. It seems they are in the upper portion of the Emperor's part of the palace, with massive spires which is where they are located. The map seems to no longer direct them, perhaps assuming they can find their way through the palace. There is some stairs that go down from the spires to the main area*
<DeathStar> *Shretrav seems to be getting better by the moment, but she will take time to join them*
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> Hm. I think I can lead us to the council's chambers
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> Just be prepared for a lot of guards.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Hang in there. We'll take care of things. 6* He pats her shoulder gently and then stands to nod to Ka'pla
<Seraphna> **Michelle organizes her arrows quickly, musing, she peers around and puts a mesh blanket over Shre** This should minimize anyone detecting you here till you're ready.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Alright, let's do it.
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla nods and takes some of the material in the room to create a make shift rope, tying it around the spires to leap over the edge to create a short cut down to the bottom*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ....
<DeathStar> *peers over the edge*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Well, there goes that stuff
<Seraphna> MIchelle> I feel I should have mentioned I have grapple arrows.
<DeathStar> *she eyes the fabric used
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Tsivs are different type of folks huh? Well...let's go. 6* He moves to slip down after her.
<Seraphna> **Michelle lifts Ako over her shoulder and moves down, using her friction control to let the two sort of glide down along the wall**
<DeathStar> *Ako makes a surprised noise as Shion slides down, her tails spread out
<DeathStar> *As they reach the bottom, Ka'pla takes stock of the area and directs them toward the council chambers, where they will no doubt face heavy resistance*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Battleworld
<DeathStar> *Lorelei paces in place while the team has been given time to recover from their battles before facing Amazo*
<DeathStar> *Rachael plays with her bow as they stand outside his doors*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So, this is it. Next one is the big one."
<Dias`> <Durt> It would appear so.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ....honestly I'm just ready for this to be over. One way or another.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Anyone even been able to find out anything about him in this incarnation?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> He is a powerful Tsivrixsh general who has love of battle and sport
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses** I mean, apart from literally being in the one place he seems to devote all his energy to.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> My hope is to get him to join us to deal with the true threat
<DeathStar> *Lorelei grinds her teeth*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Seems he picked the perfect race for himself.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps a tail around Lore's arm**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *just nods, eyeing Mercy*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "OK... so why would he want to join us?"
<DeathStar> *a Tsivrixsh comes around to the side* It is time
<Dias`> <Durt> He's strong.
<Dias`> <Durt> So I can see why.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Because Harbinger only "allowed" himself to be killed by Gartareh
<DeathStar> <Mercy> He can see the future with his powers
<DeathStar> <Mercy> He is still out there
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I believe he is likely usurped the power at some point
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns deeply** And if he is out there, I want a piece of his body snatching beard... to chock him with.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *stands and stretches* "Come up with better persuasion tactics." *starts walking toward the door*
<DeathStar> *the doors open and they are led before a massive arena, full of weapons on both sides of the room and Amazo sitting in a chair before them*
<Alicia> <Asha> "We'll deal with things."
<DeathStar> *he studies the team with interest as they near him*
<DeathStar> <Amazo> This is a familiar sight. I had a feeling it would be your people again, Angel
<DeathStar> *Lorelei frowns a bit*
<Dias`> <Durt> I guess history is meant to repeat it self.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Then you know we may want to talk before anything else.
<Xanatos> <Valen> God does everyone remember this other place but me and Rach?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Not well."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I just nod and smile. Through clenched teeth. *she holds her head, looking illish. Havig been off her meds for months, she looks pissy*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Psssst. I don't really remember that stuff either."
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Then speak
<DeathStar> *He gestures*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You might guess we're not going to end our hunt here, we'd like to offer you a chance to join a battle with bigger stakes.
<DeathStar> *Rachael quietly chants under her breath, gathering magic at her fingertips - more than she should be able to hold, looking ready to end this any moment, just due to her mood*
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Bigger stakes? *laughs* What interest do I have in hunting a few weakling Gods that are hiding in cowering fear of you.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well, Harbinger and Gartareh might prove quite a bit more challenging, you know how they hate to die.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Ah, you haven't heard. Gartareh is dead
<Xanatos> <Valen> Huh? How?
<Dias`> <Durt> Oh? You pretty sure on that?
<DeathStar> *he peers at the team and Lorelei blinks in surprise*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan raises a brow** Well we've been in your prison for a while now.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Your friends destroyed him on Geyze. He had tried to take over the entire planet
<Dias`> <Durt> Interesting. Hard to get news past the war front.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Huh... Mercy you might be right there... there's no way they could have done that on their own, even with a couple marked I think.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Not unless Harbinger took his power.
<DeathStar> *Mercy frowns, tapping her arms*
<DeathStar> <Amazo> You credit the sight seerer to much.
<DeathStar> *too
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I had him in my head for a year. He's not relying on a book of prophecy in this time.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> ...
<Jackieness> <Moira> *places a hand on Rachel's shoulder*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So, I feel like I'm missing something."
<DeathStar> *Amazo leans forward* So you want me to join you to hunt him down. That seems rather odd. Wasn't this entire exercise to stop me
<DeathStar> *Rachael jerks, peering at Moira*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Stop you from what? Running a battle pit?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...relax..."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...so if Gartareh is gone that leaves this beefcake and...one other?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Are you okay, Rachael?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Supposedly. But Harbringer is dead.
<Dias`> <Durt> Unless your actually running this battle pit to find a stronger body to reside in.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We only got Mercy's word that he's alive
<Xanatos> (Valen)
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I trust her.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well then we don't need this dude to take out one more, so let's just be done with this.
<DeathStar> *Amazo leans back* Hmmm, finding a stronger body. That's a good idea. *He points at Durt* I haven't thought of that
<Alicia> <Celeste> "..." *slumps*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You... haven't? I'd figure that's why you took your current body.
<Dias`> <Durt> Interesting. Not much for forward thinking department.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Did we really just give him the idea?"
<DeathStar> <Amazo> But then what do I do when I have the stronger body. Wait for even stronger opponents?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Sounds boring.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Indeed.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So... what exactly are you doing now?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> The endless cycle that starts is rather boring. Fighting should create greatness.
<Dias`> <Durt> ...I can't tell if who's more special. Him or Dias.
<Dias`> (-if)
<DeathStar> <Amazo> I'm content with challenging people who have what it takes to reach me. *He cups his hands together and leans forward* I'm confident in myself as I am now.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That's good."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Out of curisoty, what would happen if someone beat you?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So come with us, take that confidence and make something of what you've gathered.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> They win and the prizes that come with it. And I'd have to better myself. *he studies Kaelan* You are really pushing me to join you all
<DeathStar> *He steps down from his seat and walks forward toward her*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I remember what you did for Rune.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So I know there's a hero in there.
<Xanatos> <Valen> To be fair, the people we grew up around are ALWAYS fighting. To the point it's kinda irritating.
<DeathStar> <RAchael> They're all idiots. I think we just blew heads up
<DeathStar> <Amazo> You don't have much evidence your enemy is even alive. And your team doesn't like me much. The Angel has kept herself aimed at me this entire time, ready to lunge
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Some people just don't have faith. *tries to think what Harbringer is likely to do first*
<Dias`> <Durt> If all you're looking for is challenging opponents to face, I'm sure we can find you several with this war ended.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *shrugs* "To be honest, his motivations seem legit."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Because she herself had a God in her head not long ago. I'm sure you haven't let your guard down either.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I mean, if it wasn't a battle to the death I wouldn't mind that much
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Same."
<Dias`> <Durt> Hear that? That's one. President Dias would take you on any time you asked. I believe there's a behemoth of a man on Geyze.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> True... those that die that reach you are wasted potential.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Ah. Fine. I will hunt Harbringer with you. *motions* Let us be off
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Wait, what? Just like that?
<Xanatos> <Valen> .....
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Lorelei
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ok... cool. Let's go."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **giggles a bit** ...Funny enough I remember him changing gears with us the same way before.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... ... ... I blame Durt.
<DeathStar> *she mutters*
<DeathStar> *Amazo moves over and begins to close the battleworld down, tapping buttons*
<Dias`> <Durt> Sometimes it's best to avoid violence if ya can. Plus, worse case he does something dangerous, we'll be there to stop him.
<Xanatos> <Valen> So the people down in there are free to leave?
<Xanatos> <Valen> You know the ones we didn't violently murder on the way here. 6* He says bitterly
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Yes. Though I imagine those living in luxury that refused to advance will not thank you. Since the building will be destroyed by the end of the day
<Seraphna> **Kaelan's tails swish** Well, level 7 and above were here willingly.
<Dias`> <Durt> Or you could just leave it here to continue to raise warriors for you to fight.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "This place has a self-destruct?"
<DeathStar> *Amazo finishes entering commands* It is better this way. I can build a bigger one later. <Zegretta> Without death I ope
<DeathStar> (Hope
<DeathStar> *a door on the side of the room opens to the outside and Amazo puts on a general's uniform*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Come on. Lets see if we can find Vesper and the others
<DeathStar> *Lorelei moves for the exit
<Dias`> 6Durt shifts his hands behind his head as he moves with the group after Amazo
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Less paperwork without death.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *eyes the weapon racks for a suitable sword replacement*
<DeathStar> *as they step outside, they find themselves on top of the tower they were once fighting in; the wind blowing and it looks like they can overlook the entire planet from here. Off in the distance the shuttle they were using can be seen, landed*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Plus, they have the chance to get stronger, so you can fight them again."
<DeathStar> *there is indeed plenty of weapons of a higher level thtat matches what they were using*
<DeathStar> *Rachael slyly grab a weapon*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well we should check on Vesper definitely. She's been babysitting the twins for a loooong time now.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *grabs a suitable sword and then heads out with the others*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen also sneaks to grab a sword with Rachael, getting something for all of this.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan inspects a sword casually, taking it as she moves**
<Alicia> * Celeste takes a sword, checking the heft as she moves
<DeathStar> *Lorelei signals the ship; at first there is no response*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... that's not good.
<Dias`> <Durt> What?
<DeathStar> *Amazo stands there, peering out at nothing, as if he's not all there*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeesh, and I thought I was supposed to be the sword-girl."
<Xanatos> <Valen> ....I hope they're okay.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Vesper isn't coming. Lets see if the auto pilot might respond
<DeathStar> *Lorelei tries it and the ship then begins to fly over to the tower*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Sorry, I pretty much just trained with swords."
<Dias`> <Durt> That's odd.
<Dias`> <Durt> Amazo, any reason why that could be?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts anxiously.
<DeathStar> *as it hovers there, the ramp lowers and tons of drawings by Sia and Lia cover the ramp and walls, Sia and Lia's forts canbe seen*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I see, Catgirl invasion.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Hm? I have not given any orders to mess with any ships in the order. We only stopped you due to you being the Angel's team
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Did something happen to Vesper?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Vesper! 6* he calls out from the ramp.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Check the shuttle logs."
<DeathStar> *Rachael steps onto the ship slowly and looks around. Zegretta getting a bad feeling.* <Vesper> In here!~ *A dark, but sing songish voice can be heard from up front, causing Rachal to freeze and hide behind Valen*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Not going further in
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... how long did we leave Vesper alone on the ship with them?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs and leaps up, melding into the shadows**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Weeks probably.
<Alicia> * Celeste sighs and heads in
<Dias`> 6Durt eyes Rachael and moves in.
<Xanatos> <Valen> .... 6* He gulps and steps in.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Oiii..." *heads into the shuttle*
<DeathStar> *those who move forward find Sia and Lia strung upside down, their necks poked like a vampire might do, thankfully no blood was drawn*
<DeathStar> *Amazo stares at all this, looking baffled*
<Seraphna> Sia> She didn't want to play Pirates anymore.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I think I'll go back to battleworld
<Seraphna> Lia> So we're playing Vampires.
<DeathStar> *Vesper looms behind Valen, looking a bit Duskish*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Why didn't you respond to the comms?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...Battleworld is self-destructing, remember?"
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... of course..."
<Dias`> <Durt> So you found the end of her patience then.
<DeathStar> <Vesper> .... Valen... *she holds a fork*
<Seraphna> Sia> Nah, she's just hungry.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ....yes?
<Seraphna> Lia> We ran out of blood so we had to use red objects.
<DeathStar> *she smiles creepily when Rachael smacks her on the head* <Rachael> Return to normal!
<DeathStar> *Mercy ... makes a note of how much cleaning it will take to get rid of all the drawings*
<Seraphna> Sia> We made drawings of everyone!
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm sorry it took so long...it got harder the higher we got.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Anyway, Mercy, Kaelan, where do we even start looking for harbringer, or should we try to meet up with the others first?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Amazo, Not-Dusk. Not-Dusk, Amazo."
<Seraphna> Lia> **holds up one of Amazo, how, or why...**
<DeathStar> *Vesper rubs her head and sits down* I'm glad to see you all
<DeathStar> <Amazo> *nods to Vesper* Dusk was one of the reasonable ones
<Dias`> <Durt> We should try and meet up with the others. Amazo should be able to get us clearance for a lot of places.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "He decided to join our cause, at least for now."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'd say his fortress in the other Galaxy, but I think it's overrun with Dark Ones at this point. So... probably towards the tree.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *nods at Kaelan* If that's the cause, I want to get Kellin. Amazo, lets see if we can find the others then
<Seraphna> Kaelan> He's time obsessed and it's literally a temporal focal point.
<DeathStar> *Amazo sits down and begins to work on findng Kellin*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> (well not the PAX, but the group that is going after Sommelier)
<DeathStar> *Ren's team manages to get through the warp thing and land on Sommelier's strange area in the cloud, chasing after Noire and Jaime*
<DeathStar> *Ymir looks about, the place seeming to be artifical and not normal*
<DeathStar> *the dark grounds and aura of the place being all over the place*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus, cracking her knuckles.**
<DeathStar> *Yuki even
<DeathStar> <Ren> This place feels ... wrong
<Dias`> 6Idlet takes scans as they take everything in
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks around and sniffs slightly then shakes his head.
<DeathStar> *Ren uses what datapads they have, picking up Noire and Jaime up ahead*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How the hell we going to fine Noire in this mess?
<DeathStar> <Ren> They're the only lifesigns besides us
<DeathStar> *Ren shows him*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh. Smart. Let's get to it then.
<Seraphna> Si> Plus Jaime's a progenitor, it's like looking for a flash light in the dark.
<DeathStar> *Ren hurries along with Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *the sky looks alot like SOTN's skies on some levels, swirling rapidly*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If it was anyone else, it might be tough."
<DeathStar> *Yuki leaves hear Gear behind as she hurries along and follows, still in her hospital gown*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah holds out a hand, Ixion joining them to walk along, while Tabetha keeps her guns out**
<DeathStar> *as they walk along, it feels like the entire area is watching them and soon they catch up to the two, where the trees seem tobe surrounding them and the ground eating them*
<Dias`> 6Idlet floats along. 1"I'm having troubles making heads or tails of this place.
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... They're being attacked. ... by the area
<DeathStar> *the trees seem to be trying to push them into the ground to be swallowed*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is that the grass? Or just the floor?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> This is bullshit! I'm the one that attacks people with the ground! **she pushes back, growling**
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think it's just the ... . ground
<DeathStar> *dark grass forms at Charlotte's words*
<Alicia> * Charlotte launches tendrils to attack the grass
<Seraphna> **Ulieah sighs** I think it's a fear pocket, we need to pull them out.
<Dias`> <Idlet> Using dark attacks maybe pointless against this place.
<DeathStar> *And begins to form around Charlotte and the others; the tendrils destroy some of them, but the bladed grass shoots out, cutting Marcus, Ren, and Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ow ow ow... *she drips blood*
<DeathStar> <Ren> That's .. .sharp
<Seraphna> **Tabetha tries to lift Jaime and Noire up with TK**
<DeathStar> *Ren looks woozy, also poisoned*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *outfit has shifted, halfway between resembling some sort of armor pieces designed in the style of Yoshitaka Amano and her school uniform, including a helmet like headdress. She is wielding her Dark Edge in her hands, slashing at the ground*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah whispers and Ixion lightning flashes the grass**
<DeathStar> *Tabetha pulls the two out of the ground*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Grrr. 6* He covers his face from the attack, barely keeping werewolf form from happening prematurely.
<DeathStar> *the grass is destroyed*
<DeathStar> *For now*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Try not to focus on any fear. Especially marshmallow men.
<DeathStar> *Ulieah feels tiny somethings attacking her leg*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Now I'm hungry."
<Seraphna> **Ulieah looks down, forming crystal armor on her legs**
<DeathStar> *it's dark marshmellow looking attackers*
<DeathStar> *trying to pull her into the ground*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Sommelier, show yourself!"
<Seraphna> Ulieah> My ancient, fake foes. **she darts small skewers of crystal through them**
<Seraphna> **Jaime dusts herself off as Tabetha sets them down in safety**
<DeathStar> *Noire would see a Sommelier form from the ground*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> It's not real.
<DeathStar> *Ren meanwhile has fallen over*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah puts a hand on Ren and starts healing her**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What's the play here Noire? Can you sense the guy around or anything?
<DeathStar> *The Sommelier? moves toward Noire*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No, show me the real Sommelier."
<DeathStar> *another Sommelier appears*
<DeathStar> *Ren sits up a bit*
<Seraphna> **Jaime lights up a hyperspace orb to push back at the shadows**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Stop mocking me!"
<DeathStar> *creatures appear to laugh at Noire*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I said the real Sommelier."
<Dias`> <Idlet> This place has an interesting effect on peoples commands.
<DeathStar> *a third Sommelier appears*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Yes, we will be trapped here perpetually until people decided to move on and stop feeding it.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm afraid to speak
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Fine. Coward."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *takes a deep breath* "...stop giving it troll fodder...this place seems designed specifically to irritate me..."
<DeathStar> *the second Sommelier suddenly skewers at Charlotte with a dark energy ball and the third chants something and the ground begins to spin the team around*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Charlotte!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> .... *gets dizzy*
<Alicia> * Charlotte jumps to one side, throwing out a tendril as she does
<Seraphna> **Jaime aims and releases her blast at the third one while Tabetha fires at the second one**
<DeathStar> *the third is destroyed and the ground stops spinning slowly and the Tabetha knocks the second into the ground*
<DeathStar> *which absorbs it*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> We need to go.
<DeathStar> *Yuki takes deep breaths and Ren rises shakily*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ok... let's go...without namign names...to find the unnamed one..."
<Dias`> <Idlet> To be fair, it was foolish to think that he would let something like commanding him to appear would actually work.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus grabs his head from the spinning and tries to keep from puking.
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns, moving to go forward the way they intended originally**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I was hoping he'd actually respond personally."
<DeathStar> <Ren> W-Well, we don't know much... about how this place works or him
<Xanatos> <Marcus> God even his robots are dickheads. 6* He says about Id, getting up and motion for Noire to lead the way.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Of course, he wouldn't. I was just screaming at him because it makes me feel better."
<Seraphna> **Ulieah hops on Ixion and starts trotting after Jaime**
<Seraphna> **Tabetha starts after them, feeling out for thought patterns**
<Dias`> <Idlet> He's a scientist by nature, he'd rather watch his experiments unfold.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *starts forward, trying to sense something from the real Sommelier... or at leats a point of interst that isn't here*
<DeathStar> *as they move along the area, Noire continues to not sense Sommelier outside him being here on this planet*
<DeathStar> *well, whatever this "planet" is*
<DeathStar> *as they walk, something forms behind the team*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Perhaps feel for the largest gathering of Dark Power.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I don't feel him yet."
<Seraphna> **Tabetha whirls as it does, guns up**
<DeathStar> *Andrea is there, gathering dark power. Ren blinks, caught off guard at seeing Andrea; Yuki tilts head*
<DeathStar> *Andrea throws it at the team*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Uh, that looks dangerous
<Dias`> <Idlet> Incoming.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Whoa! Did anyone think or say her name? 6* He dives to the side
<DeathStar> *Ren rolls*
<DeathStar> *Yuki flops*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Not me." *rolls with Ren*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah actually sings, Ixion throwing up a static shield**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *darts to the side*
<Seraphna> **Jaime forms a barrier of the ground**
<Seraphna> **Tabetha rolls**
<Seraphna> Jaime> What the hell Andrea!
<DeathStar> *Andrea sneers at the attack hits the shield, and begins to hold out a hand; the entire planet begins to put all it's power into it and Ulieah and Ixion begin to get rolled back, even Jaime's barrier cracks to pieces slowly*
<DeathStar> *it's like they're trying to use a pebble to stop a tidal wave*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We're out of the way, just move!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Not mother."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Another clone, or just a fake?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and moves, Ulieah backing up and starting to whisper something new while Tabetha books it**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pull up his shotgun and starts firing slugs at the andrea.
<DeathStar> *Andrea is hit and looks muddy for a moment, turning to look at Marcus*
<Dias`> <Idlet> It appears to be weak.,
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Just a fake."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *waking it personally, dashes toward the distracted Andrea to cut her in half*
<DeathStar> *Andrea is cut in half and both halves hit the ground and are aborbed int othe planet*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, glad that's over.... *when 3 more Andreas appear*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Umm... Noire.
<Seraphna> Jaime> You said you can feel him here, but not pinpoint him right?
<DeathStar> *The Andreas begin to form their Dark Matter attacks*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Stop thinking about my mother!"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... he's the planet."
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... what?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah... I think we're standing on him.
<DeathStar> *the andreas aim at Jaime*
<DeathStar> *firing 3 Dark Matter attacks*
<Dias`> <Idlet> It is a possiblity. It's more likely he's part of it and not the entire thing.
<DeathStar> *one veering off for Charlotte at the last moment*
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports out of the way**
<Alicia> * Charlotte dodges, expecting the sudden veering.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmmm..." *stabs at the ground with her Dark Edge*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah finishes her chant and a golden knight appears in shining armor** Armitage, DEFEND! **the Knight summons holy light and bursts outward with it**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How the hell do we hurt a planet!? 6* He takes off running to avoid the attacks
<DeathStar> *the dark matter attacks hit the ground and then rise up behind Noire as she stabs the ground. <Andreas> Nice try. That's like a kid digging in a sandcastle
<DeathStar> *the three dark matters fly at her back*
<Dias`> <Idlet> One would need an incredible amount of force.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Only way I can think of... is to drain it dry."
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, then aims down and spreads her hand, trying to split the ground near her into a hole**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *turns and attempts to absorb the dark energy*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey, they talked back
<Alicia> * Charlotte also attempts to absorb the dark power
<DeathStar> *Noire is sent flying along with Charlotte but they manage it*
<DeathStar> *the Andreas turn into Sommelier, peering at Jaime, warping in front of Jaime as she does that; the ground begins to fight back, refusing to be split easily and Sommelier forms a hedge clipper and tries to cut her head off*
<Seraphna> **Jaime drops low, and drops the orb of Hyperspace shes tarted to form into the hole, rolling away**
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> ... I hate Progenitors. *He sinks into the ground*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *shifts her outfit completely, her cosplay-idea of battlewear full forming like some cross between Final Fantasy and Kill La kill*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus fires a shot at the Sommerlier trying to snag him before he's sunk up
<Seraphna> **Armitage stabs a holy sword into the ground and fires a Holy Bolt down into it**
<DeathStar> *Marcus hits his head, mud splattering out of it*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah keeps singing, now using it to inspire the others**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Uh, I feel like ... how do I ... do anything.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ...hm
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Because you can't win?" *continues to try to drain the dark energy from the planet*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If he's become a planet, he's got a core.
<DeathStar> *Charlotte would find this planet much more difficult to absorb then the previous one. Continue?*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Its time..." *stabs her Dark Edge into the ground again and tries to consume Sommelier World as well*
<Alicia> * Charlotte's not going to give up, even without Noire doing... oh okay then
<Alicia> * Charlotte continues!
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus backs up to them with the shotgun raised, looking aroudn to try and keep the covered at least.
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes the moment to pop her staff away and instead readies her rocky looking gloves**
<DeathStar> <Ren> *they both get medium rolls and the feed back jolts them both as they drain; giant hands form, as tall as 8 story buildings, and it begins to sweep in to just crush and knock the team over*
<DeathStar> <Ren> 'ey 'ey 'ey 'ey 'ey
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ...
<DeathStar> *peers up*
<Seraphna> **Jaime holds up her hands and uses the Titan Gloves to try and destroy one**
<Dias`> <Idlet> Those look dangerous.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha fires into the other one, trusting the Mud GIrl to know how to fight living dirt**
<Alicia> * Charlotte mostly just tries to avoid being crushed for now
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus puts the shotgun over is shoulder and begins to shift into the werewolf, attempting to mimic Jaime and attack the other hand.
<Seraphna> **Ulieah adds attacks to the other hand, having Armitage leap to slash at it**
<DeathStar> *Jaime destroys one hand, due to having the glove, giving people an out to run from the other hand that continues to push people forward; as they attack it, it seems to take little damage so far and even as it shrinks down to 5 stories due to their effort, it knocks the absorving ones forward*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Rolls along and begins to run forward with Yuki*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Okay, Okay, we got one angry hand left
<DeathStar> *it stops pushing them and begins to hover over them*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> What is it doing?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Nnnnn!" *shifts her Dark Edge to the Darkness Glaive and then slashes at the hand's wrist*
<Dias`> <Idlet> Preparing to attack I imagine.
<Seraphna> **Armitage shifts in place to act as a party tank for the group, Jaime shakes her head** Nothing good. Here's my take.... **She clenches her fist with the glove and starts forming her own fist**
<Alicia> * Charlotte uses tendrils to try to break the hand's fingers, hoping this will actually have an effect
<Seraphna> **of ground**
<DeathStar> *it takes damage and begins to try to slam down on them with slaps, minus a finger*
<Seraphna> **Jaime punches it with her own rock formed fist**
<DeathStar> *Ren shifts to stand in the finger that was bent up*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha takes cover in the finger and holds up a TK barrier around them**
<Dias`> 6Idlets move to hide behind Ren
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gets in place to try to catch it so it doesn't smash the ones doing the ol succ
<Seraphna> **Ulieah hides under it, Armitage raising it's sword to parry**
<DeathStar> *Marcus shifts and manages to catch the palm and push against it while the others are doing the barrier and the sword parry. Yuki stares*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> What is Marcus doing under the giant hand
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'M SO STRONG
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think this is where Dias says something dumb, like he's being a hero.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "He's being a werewolf, I guess."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Charlotte, Formation!"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Quick, Char, break more fingers or absorb
<DeathStar> *The hand presses down on Marcus*
<Seraphna> **Jaime has the giant fist she's formed grab at the other fist**
<Dias`> <Idlet> I would take this chance to try absorbing more of the Dark planet.
<Alicia> * CHarlotte hurries to absorb more
<Jackieness> <Noire> *resumes trying to drain the planet again*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm severely... tempted... to copy him right now.
<DeathStar> *the giant fist grabs at the hand; since it's straining with Marcus, it is easily grabbed*
<Seraphna> **Jaime begins the Titan arm wrestle**
<Dias`> <Idlet> What is the worst that can happen?
<DeathStar> *holy shit, Charlotte and Noire both get 1's on 7's, getting a good absorb this time and begin to drain Sommelier for a bit and the mass of the area shrinks*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... Huh?
<DeathStar> *The two eat Sommelier. IT's not very good*
<DeathStar> *but there's still a lot more to go*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Does he taste like dying?
<DeathStar> *while the hand is wrestling, something begins to happen along the ground*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sommelier is up to something
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...feel that?!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Someone mind getting that one?
<Seraphna> **Tabetha peers down**
<DeathStar> *the ground turns into spikes*
<DeathStar> *it begins to spike spike spike spike all around towards them*
<DeathStar> <Ren> eeeeee
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ....
<Seraphna> **Tabetha growls and closes her hands, then starts to form a flat area around them as she pushes down with crushing TK, varying up her TK Goddess strength**
<Dias`> 6The Idlet floats up and moves to dodge between any incoming spikes
<Seraphna> **Armitage takes a swing at the spikes**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...shit. 6* He garbles out in wolf voice, trying to ride on Idlet despite being a massive werewolf man.
<DeathStar> *Tabetha has to fight constantly forming spikes*
<DeathStar> <Ren> .... I feel I'd be crushed if Iw ent into Tabetha's safe area
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pulls her Dark Edge from the ground, then forms it into its polearm form to slash at the circle of spikes*
<Dias`> 6The Idlet lifts Marcus up.....or doesn't as it was never designed to lift people and rests in Marcus' palm
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, then uses her Rock Hand to try and slam the other hand down and provide everyone a platform**
<DeathStar> **soon though Tabetha's spikes end and they continue on*
<Alicia> * Charlotte briefly stops to attempt to deal with the spikes
<DeathStar> *Ren and Yuki leap for the Tabetha area, cut a bit*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah begins to sing a healing song, floating on Ixion**
<DeathStar> *as everyone deals with the spikes, the areas not cut now have spikes*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus tosses the idlet back up into the air and curses to himself just trying to avoid as best he can.
<Dias`> <Idlet> I'm sorry this shell isn't designed to be battle ready.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Charlotte, I think we finally really got his attention!"
<DeathStar> *The hand, soon defeated, is absorbed and Sommelier creates a spiked giant version that towers over the team, peering down; on the shoulders is an Andrea and mini Sommelier*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I think so too!"
<DeathStar> *Yuki looks up*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Does he have some history with Andrea that I don't know about?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> He's fucking with Noire.
<DeathStar> *Sommelier in his hands forms a Dark Seed to try to wipe out Charlotte and Noire*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well Andrea was alive during the time of his first appearance
<Seraphna> **Armitage starts slicing at the tower, inteding to take it down in chunks**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, he's just fucking with us."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Most likely
<Dias`> <Idlet> Sommelier is attempting something. It appears to be a Dark Seed
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'd say it's time to drain him before he drains you.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus joins Armitage using his claws not having anything else to do to help.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Cover us then!" *stabs the ground to drain more*
<DeathStar> *Sommelier peers down at the two and suddenly the ground forms as they attack his legs; it eats Armitage and sucks him down into the planet*
<Seraphna> **Armitage uses any response to toss Marcus to safety**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hold him off!" *goes to help Noire drain Somellier's planet more*
<DeathStar> *they both get bad rolls again and damage themselves as they drain. As they recover from the feed back, sparking with bad Sommelier energy a second time, it begins to toss the Dark Seed at them*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus blinks at being tossed to safety and tries to assess.
<Seraphna> **Jaime summons, becoming a Combination ofJAIme and GnoME, known as... JAIME! ((See what I did there?)) She shifts her hand and tosses a Hyper infused spike of stone up at the seed and Sommelier**
<DeathStar> *the Dark Seed explodes in the air, the dark one corruption falling to the ground all over*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah forms a static shield above them**
<DeathStar> *it lands all about between the team and Charlotte and Noire, not falling on anyon thankfully*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Congratulations, you got me to take this seriously. **she narrows her amber eyes**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Nnnnnnn... Charlotte, again!" *stabs the ground*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh no. *it begins to spread however just like if it was on a planet, probably faster.* <Ren> Tch. This stuff?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus squints and kneels in a position ready to spring forward after buffing himself with the alpha werewolf move to double hist stats then using his upgrades Wolf Parts to give his many hundred damage hit against the base of the fist thing.
<Alicia> * Charlotte continues, not giving up until she wins or falls
<Xanatos> (trying to topple it over)
<Seraphna> **Jaime stomps the ground and creates a ring of hyper infused stone around them as a barrier to the corruption**
<DeathStar> *The giant Sommelier jerks and begins to topple a bit, clearly caught off guard. At that moment Ren and Yuki begin to try to climb up it*
<DeathStar> *Andrea appears in front of Marcus, eyes narrowed*
<DeathStar> *while mini Sommelier goes after Jaime*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *attempts another drain*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah smiles and sings again, this time her third and final "summon" for the day manifests as a big dark cloaked spectre, who begins to fly up after the others**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sup girl. 6* He is paused to catch his breath, the big hit taking a bit out of him.
<Seraphna> **Jaime twirls her staff out in combined form and sends a rocky fist of power at Mini-Somm**
<DeathStar> *Charlotte gets feed back again, damging her a third time. She can feel that another might not be a good thing for her, even as she is still draining the planet with these fails. It's just it's damaging her. Noire thankfully gets a 1 and does a major drain and the planet shrinks massively this time compared to the failed ones.*
<DeathStar> *at this point, with the fails and the two wins, it looks like they're almost to the core*
<DeathStar> *if they dare risk it all*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *presses on*
<DeathStar> *The Andrea goes after Marcus with an attack, stabbing at him with dark energy while mini SOmmelier dodges and stabs at Jaime with dark power*
<Alicia> * Charlotte takes a deep breath, and tries once more. Everyone else is putting themselves in danger, so...
<DeathStar> *Ren and Yuki climb up the base while everyone distract it, both using reality powers to try to keep on the low down*
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports back a little to dodge and strikes back by trying to crush him with Telekenesis**
<Seraphna> **Tabetha takes the time to aim before firing at Sommelier's head**
<DeathStar> *Both get 1's and the planet shakes and shudders, revealing a core below*
<Seraphna> **mini
<DeathStar> *mini Sommelier's head splatters into mud*
<Dias`> <Idlet> It would appear the core has been revealed.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gets stabbed and tries to throw a kick to knock the andrea back after he recovers a bit.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Okay, finish him off!"
<DeathStar> *Andrea is kicked back, forming dark power to finish MArcus off*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Why didn't anyone tell me how bad it hurts to get stabbed!?
<Seraphna> **Ulieah's Death Summon looms up, slicing a scythe at the Andrea**
<DeathStar> *Ren and Yuki reach the top of the giant Sommelier and begin to work on taking control, even as it tries to grab and crush them*
<DeathStar> *Ulieah cuts Andrea in half*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises her weapon up* "Let us end this!" *leaps down to the core*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus chalks that one up to his moron's luck and gives Ulieah a thumbs up before wincing at grabbing at his wound.
<DeathStar> *An epic battle over the giant Sommelier occurs above, with it trying to crush Ren and the two trying to bring it down; it soon topples over and lands on top of the core*
<DeathStar> *Ren and Yuki falling over and not moving*
<Dias`> <Idlet> Does no one want to attack the core?
<Seraphna> **Ulieah moves over to the two, using her Manifest to stablize them if possible**
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods to Noire, rock and dust in the air beginning to form into a huge rock in the air before it glows with Hyperspace, Jaime stabbing down at the core**
<DeathStar> *The core glows and begins to draw Jaime in*
<DeathStar> *and then Ulieah and Ren,Yuki since they landed near it*
<Alicia> * Charlotte checks on Ren and Yuki
<DeathStar> *Then Charlotte*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stabs down at the core and tries to drain it*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha reaches out and starts pulling those drawn in back**
<DeathStar> *Noire feels herself being sucked into the core*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Noire... drain it!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...trying!"
<Dias`> 6Idlet records for science
<Seraphna> **Jaime does her best to resist, tendrils with rocks in them forming to latch to something above**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm about at my limit, but..." *also tries to drain the core*
<DeathStar> *Sommelier laughs everyone*
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> You have my energy in you. You are me now
<DeathStar> *everywhere
<Seraphna> Jaime> If that's so, they can control your power too.
<DeathStar> *it says as they are half-way int othe core*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...sounds like a pervert.
<Dias`> <Idlet> Yes, but power can corrupt.
<DeathStar> *a Sommelier head pops up beside Marcus*
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> ...
<Seraphna> **Jaime growls and focuses, pushing against the pull, putting Hyperspace into it**
<Alicia> * Charlotte tries to copy Sommelier's move and punch him with the planet... hand... thing
<DeathStar> *Jaime manages to pull out bit*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey can you go fight one of them, I'm injured. 6* He says just hanging on from the core trying to suck him in.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to attack the core while being tug-o-war'd*
<DeathStar> *Charlotte, despite being half-way stuck in, forms a hand and smacks the core*
<DeathStar> *allowing Noire and Jaime to free themselves more
<DeathStar> *At this point Ren and Yuki are gone*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha has been trying to pull them**
<Seraphna> **Jaime pulls out more and growls, closing her eyes and stabbing a rock hand into the core, as if trying to find them, since she can't really drain it and exploding it with them inside is not an encouraging prospect**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises her weapon and then burns the corruption energies that she has acquired over time to supercharge it as she unleashes her ultimate attack, Endless Waltz, on the core*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> He's still a mind... **She frowns, focusing and reaching out, trying to pinpoint Sommelier's thoughts enough to start scrambling them**
<DeathStar> *a moment or two passes, as Jaime searches the core and finds more than just the two; but then a moment or two passes and it begins to crack, then break apart, then the core shatters*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grabs whoever she can and starts to pull them out as it shatters**
<DeathStar> *as the pieces break apart and those inside are freed, Yuki and Ren laying there all gooey from the stuff inside and Sommelier revealed*
<DeathStar> *sliding away to escape*
<Dias`> <Idlet> Someone should kill him.
<Seraphna> **Jaime uses her other hand to wrap around him**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Not this time!" *leaps at Sommelier!*
<DeathStar> *The "place" begins to break apart*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Everyone come to me.
<DeathStar> *Sommelier opens his eyes as Noire tackles him*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah and Tabetha move to get to her, Tabetha dragging Marcus along**
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> So insistant
<DeathStar> <Ren> *coughs fluid out* W-Where is the ship
<Seraphna> **Jaime squeezes him with the rock hand**
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Don't remember
<DeathStar> *Sommelier searches his pockets for something*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Tabetha. Do your thing then give me the coordinates.
<DeathStar> *groaning at the squeeze*
<Dias`> <Idlet> It would appear Jaime is trying to squeeze Noire and Sommelier
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries slashing his arm off*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Thanks Tab
<DeathStar> *he howls at the slash, his arm dropping away*
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> ... Ah, it would appear ... this is my .. exit call.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "No more tricks. No more games." *reaches out to use Dark Absorb on his dark heart*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha nods and her nose starts to bleed as she future sights over and over again, till she finds the choice where they get to the ship properly**
<DeathStar> *Sommelier begins to glow like what Andrea showed them*
<DeathStar> *right as Noire does her thing*
<DeathStar> *Sommelier goes to Dark Teleport, right through Noire's Dark Absorb*
<Seraphna> **jaime has backed up, keeping control on the arm as the other brings the injured to her**
<DeathStar> *TAbetha leads the heroes right to the ship, right as the ground is now looking seriously unstable*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha lead them on, Jaime teleporting the injured on board**
<DeathStar> *Ren leans against Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Did we win?
<Dias`> <Idlet> It would appear we have made it.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm too tired to go save my gear
<Seraphna> **Ulieah muses, then sets up a small crystal to produce a Shadow for Noire to slip through, if she makes it**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "He got away, but we wrecked his planet."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'll get it buddy. 6* He pats Yuki's face leaving some of his blood and moves to try and get it but flops over.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **splits with Gnome and sets her on her lap, getting the shuttle going**
<DeathStar> *Yuki glances down at Marcus* I think Marcus needs...healing
<Seraphna> Jaime> We'll get you a new one.
<Seraphna> Jaime> A new Marcus too.
<Seraphna> **Ulieah shakes her head and starts healing Marcus**
<DeathStar> *Gnome looks around*
<DeathStar> <Ren> IS this where we do the replacing him with a woman thing?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sorry for the sudden pull, need to head back love?
<DeathStar> <Gnome> I'm okay for now.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *returns to the others at the last moment*
<Dias`> <Idlet> Did you succeed in killing him?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Char and Noire were pretty cool
<DeathStar> *the plant is now just a small piece of land, the sky swirling madly*
<Dias`> <Idlet> Charlotte's body looks like it's about to fall apart.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I think if we're going to escape, now is the time
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm not that badly off... but I need to rest."
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts flying them off**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pokes out her tongue and licks her fingers* "Mmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *raises eyebrow*
<DeathStar> *the ship flies out shakily right into the PAX battling the remnants of the Tsivrixsh, well, what's clean up duty. They seem to be finishing the battle with Victorie's song forming to end it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Welcome aboard Durran Shuttle Service, transporting badassery into and out of battle for a long ass time.
<DeathStar> *A TSivrixsh cruiser flies at them, firing*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I-Incoming!
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts to dodge**
<Seraphna> **Ulieah looks mad, and the Death Summon goes flying into the Tsiv's bridge**
<DeathStar> *the PAX is off to the side, two cruisers trying to pincer it*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Can you get us to it?
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and flies them for the PAX**
<Seraphna> **Tabetha rubs her head, down with a migraine after using her future guidance**
<DeathStar> *The song launches and wipes out the remaining enemy ships as they approach, leaving the PAX alone with what Suisen Ships are left since the Iron Paw was taken out*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits up now that Ulieah has healed him.
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Repairs are going to take a long time, Gemmy will be upset.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fleet looks smaller...this was a rough one.
<Dias`> <Idlet> Ships can be replaced.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We're approaching then end I think.
<Seraphna> Jaime> All that really remains is Earth.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah. Yeah their focus will be on Earth, won't it?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I just feel like we're forgetting somethig
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... like?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> **muses** We are.
<DeathStar> *As the ship lands, crews are running around doing repair work*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Erusian Space.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If not Earth, then where?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right. We haven
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right. We haven't heard from them in a while
<Dias`> <Idlet> It'll depend on how much that want to focus there.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm. If they totally fail we have one way of knowing, so I assume they're either still fighting or something happened.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'll be in medical. 6* He walks off to get fully healed up.
<DeathStar> *Ren steps out and looks around, then pulls Charlotte close* I'll go report to Xanatos and Lenneth. <Yuki> I guess I'll go check on the wife and kid
<Seraphna> Jaime> Same. Erm, the kid. **she nods, holding up Gnome**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm... steps off the shuttle, looking around*
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports with her**
<DeathStar> *another ship arrives after their's, docking*
<DeathStar> *Gnome blinks at being held up*
<Dias`> <Idlet> Noire, I would keep an eye on yourself. You absorbed a lot of....Dark One...Specifically Sommelier. They may have unknown consequences.
<DeathStar> *A woman with monsters steps out, hood down and moves off with the monsters for the bridge, the mosnters keeping the crew from nearing her*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...Okay then
<Seraphna> **Tabetha waves at them and offers them some cookies**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I've absorbed each of the generals in one form or fashion."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Who's that?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Still, just take care of yourself
<DeathStar> <Ren> Nobody I know
<Dias`> <Idlet> And Sommelier is far smarter than the others.
<DeathStar> *Ren takes Charlotte's hand and heads for the bridge herself*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Asarar kneels with Logan, eyeing an encampment of Tsivrixsh plotting how they can make a comeback. One would think that is their mission,but in the background a spirit is studying the Tsivrixsh, floatting there. One moment she is tall and lean, then she flickers and is more muscular, indicating a power change*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If we want to capture that spirit we'll have a fight on our hands. IF the Tsivrixsh notice her, they'll use those trap things
<DeathStar> *it seems they've settled in on the Amazon territory*
<Xanatos> <Logan> How haven't they noticed her anyway?
<Seraphna> Luci> Dunno, but better we don't let them.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...what if we take out th invaders and take their traps to use on the spirit?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...maybe we can lead her away? Get her interest?
<Xanatos> <Logan> I have the trap covered.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good question. I --- *a moment later, the spirit is in the middle of the encampment, unleashing physical attacks on the Tsivrixsh and sending them flying*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> .. *points*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Ah crap
<DeathStar> *the spirit lifts a bulkier Tsivrixsh over her head and does the Bane thing
<Seraphna> **Luci sighs and forms her armor, moving and getting ready to play interference**
<DeathStar> *then flickers and seems more sleek and lithe and avoids their retatliation attacks, using spirit weapons like a sword user*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Or we have to save the spirit now."
<Seraphna> Luci> She's... so... cool!
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh begin to fumble with a spirit trap and move to intercept her*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> She's dangerous
<Seraphna> **Luci tosses her shield at the one with a trap**
<DeathStar> *they go down*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan begins to sneak to get closer
<Seraphna> **Luci lets it fly back to the bracer and forms her Shard Blade, moving in**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *draws her shortblade and then moves down low along the perimeter to take out any other trap wielders*
<DeathStar> *Asarar follows and keeps low as the spirit cuts and takes them down slowly even transforming again, her hair growing out and looking a bit like the spirits the know, unleashing a strange type of spirit magic and sending the Tsivrixsh flying as she blasts them*
<DeathStar> *The spirit hovers as she thinks she is the last standing, not noticing 3 sneaking in behind her to jump from the air with the trap*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *grabs one to cut his throat*
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh gurgles and goes down*
<DeathStar> *Cypher stabs the second and casually takes the trap off their hands*
<DeathStar> *sliding it into her coat*
<Seraphna> **Luci hurls her blade into the third**
<DeathStar> *the spirit pauses, peering about, then shrugs it off, moving to go*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan motions for someone to get her attention so he can attack from behind.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *steps out in front of the spirit
<Seraphna> Luci> Good hits!
<DeathStar> *The spirit pauses, going all bulkier with shorter hair*
<Seraphna> Luci> Took those blueberries down without a sweat.
<DeathStar> *it peers and eyes Luci too*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan gets the trap out and then attempts to toss it for the spirit's backside.
<Seraphna> Luci> I haven't seen you before, who are you?
<DeathStar> **the spirit jerks and pauses, peering at her backside, then Logan as she warps and disappears, the trap lands on the ground*
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...did a screw up?
<Xanatos> 6* Logan stands up, looking confused.
<DeathStar> *Asarar kneels down and picks up the trap*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Nope, I'd say we got her
<Seraphna> Luci> **tilts her head confused, but shrugs**
<Xanatos> <Logan> OH I thought she teleported or something. That was quick.
<DeathStar> *Asarar wiggles the trap, the light blinking*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah, it looked like she tried to fight it
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Maybe she remembers the old trap
<Seraphna> Luci> Let's make sure she's okay.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> What, you want to open it to see if she's okay?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Let's get her to a secure place first."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We can hand her over to the Elders
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They'd know best, but the only way to cure her is a very hard process I'm told
<DeathStar> *Asarar looks around* Lets go, there might be more Tsivrixsh patrols
<Xanatos> <Logan> Roger roger.
<Seraphna> Luci> Fiiiine. **she pouts**
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 1:
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Capital
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla arrives outside a hallway, pointing at all the guards, much more than you would expect.* Inside is the council room. Most likely Kyun is in there to try to get them on his side about the fake Emperor
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> But we know someone betrayed you all
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> The "Emperor" might even be in there
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah, probably is. We expected some bullshit.
<DeathStar> <Shion> So we're going to have to fight our way in
<DeathStar> <Ako> If it ends this war, I'm down
<Seraphna> Michelle> Maybe.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah, I'm going to try to make this quick. 6* He forms his bustah, leaning against the wall.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 2: Earth
<DeathStar> *after bending the Light Rune, Kyouki and the others have seen the power of the Tsivrixsh super ship*
<DeathStar> <Kru'ul> You have seen our power, simply surrender and I will not have to fire again
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I think it's going to have to come down to Kyouki
<Seraphna> Angel> **mumbles about guys and their toys**
<DeathStar> <Lemon> If her power can disrupt their ships
<DeathStar> <Lemon> But can she do it before the countdown of surrender
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns
<Xanatos> <Kane> Otherwise we have no choice.
<DeathStar> *Lemon nods*
<Dias`> <Dias> She's going to have to.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Because Earth won't surrender
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'd expect nothing else." *does her best*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 3: Erusia
<DeathStar> *The swarm has decimated Erusia and it's defenses, the Templar ships and more. It's gotten everyone off guard. Warren sits there in their heavily defended bunker, trying to raise the Templar Ships*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I think... we ..... *He pauses in his words*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> **eyes the situation, fixing her glasses**
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Warren?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't think we can stop them
<DeathStar> *he finally says when Cersei comes on the line* <Cersei> .. my ship is heavily damaged. It is floating here and the swarm seems to have left me alone. But .. .something weird happened
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... Weird?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Commander Leon's ship was disabled as well and they ... took his ship. Swarmed it and made it part of their swarm and moved on with it. As well as some of the more powerful Erusian ships.
<DeathStar> *Cersei
<DeathStar> <Cersei> The Swarm has ... moved on now out of sight after battering the Erusian defenses
<DeathStar> *Warren leans back*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "They did not finish what they started... the Madara be praised, but why?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> It seems they are after something deeper in our territory. But I can't raise anyone with our communications down. We need to repair the Templar ship and our communications, then join the PAX.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Should I go for help?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm afraid of where the swarm might be going.
<DeathStar> *he peers at Jennifer, then nods, knowing she mgiht have a faster method*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer nods, looking to her side as she summons Celsius to her** Time to go dear.
<DeathStar> *Celsius nods an warps out with her*
<DeathStar> *Warren stands up with Theron, then moves with him to get to work*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> -Final Epilogue-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Lenneth leans back on the bridge with Xanatos and Ren, who has arrived*
<Alicia> * Charlotte slumps a little, just listening
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I finally got an answer on who ordered the attack on space station that the Tsivrixsh had taken over, leading to mass casualities on both sides
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We all thought it was a general
<Xanatos> <Xan> It wasn't?
* Dias` is now known as ChadWinters`
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> No. *she hands Xanatos the name*
<ChadWinters`> Who do you got?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan glances at it
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....Stacey?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Her name is on the document
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Interesting..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks in* "Mmmmmm... is that so?"
* ChadWinters` drums his fingers. 1"That doesn't track with her."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Either a forge, she ordered it behind Dias' back, or Dias ordered it and she did it on his behalf?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Or she's been compromised." *takes a seat*
<ChadWinters`> It'd most likely be behind Dias' back. 6He points a finger at Noire. 1"That's the most likely scenario.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well that's the she ordered it behind his back part.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> It was a stain on them having EarthGov property for so long. She might have felt pressure to take it back
<DeathStar> *Lenneth muses* But yes, unless she's done this sort of thing for a while now behind his back
<ChadWinters`> I'll do some looking in to seeing if this is a repeat pattern or if this is something different.
<Xanatos> <Xan> So...we have to let Dias know somehow in private, right?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I guess so.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer appears with Celsius**
<DeathStar> <Ren> At least all we have to do is go to Earth and end things
<DeathStar> <Ren> And I jinxed it
<Seraphna> Jennifer> So... we have some news. And it's both not good and strange all at once.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth eyes Jennifer* And the news is?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We need to find the truth. The complete truth." *turns to Jennifer* "Tell us."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> We lost, or rather, can't win... but the Swarms passed us by before fiunishing us.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Pased you by?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Okay.... So... it's now....where?
<ChadWinters`> I assume, didn't finish you off.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Yeah, and we don't know, but they seem to have a different target in mind.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Either they're desperate... or they think they can land a finishing blow."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... another target in mind. I'll use the PAX to try to find out where they might be going then
<Seraphna> Jennifer> They didn't need to worry about stopping to kill us, they just didn't. We managed to reduce the swarm a bit but... still.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...that really doesn't bode well for the rest of us.
<ChadWinters`> Neither. It's more likely that they considered them a low priority.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... The Yggdrasil?"
<DeathStar> *Lenneth peers at Xanatos* But where would Dark Ones want to go most. I'm thinking us
<Xanatos> <Xan> Has to be, right? Get rid of those pesky Progens
<ChadWinters`> It's a fair theory.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yeah once we're done they can do anything. Alright, Earth is still on it's own. We need to prepare for a battle. ... I guess this time I'm disturbing the Empress and Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hopefully we can figure out a plan against a ... swarm of ships
<Seraphna> Jennifer> They might be after the Tree, it's another possibility.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Fair enough
<Seraphna> Jennifer> They were definitely acting... different.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We'll prepare for that too then
<ChadWinters`> ....if I could get one of my Id's back from the past, we might be able to use something on Geyze. In theory.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Couldn't even get the time to feel relief that this current fight was a success.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hey, you've been winning battle after battle dad
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> You'll win this one
<Xanatos> <Xan> Maybe. It only takes one loss. We definitely need to regroup and re-assess.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth nods*
<ChadWinters`> IF it's coming for us, then we can atleast choose the battle area.
<DeathStar> <Lennneth> True. I got a person I want to question about that, mabe the Empress and Erevis will have ideas. But when it comes down to it, Dad has final say
<ChadWinters`> Of course.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I got a feeling Jikuu and Fate herself will likely appear this time
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...I need a drink.
<ChadWinters`> When this is over.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's definitely one of those big moments Fate loves so much."
<Seraphna> **Thena poods on Xan's shoulder**
<Seraphna> Thena> Grandpa with power.
<Seraphna> Thena> Ooooo.
* ChadWinters` eyes his datapad and moves to get up. 1"I need to meet with someone. I'll be back within an hour."
* Jackieness has quit IRC
Session Close: Mon Oct 25 23:16:48 2021

<DeathStar> *Andrea seems to have returned from whatever it is she was doing during Noire's mission, studying the book and musing*
<DeathStar> *and is at Katrina's*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps into Katrina's, looking especially smug today*
<DeathStar> *Ren walks in with her* You'll be talking about this for years
<DeathStar> *Andrea glances up briefly, then back down, flipping a page slowly with her tail*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Because I won." *sashays over to a booth and sits down with a flourish*
<DeathStar> *Katrina moves over* What can I get for you?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Something worthy of a winner."
<DeathStar> *Katrina raises an eyebrow, then moves into the back to prepare something. Andrea speaks up from her booth* <Andrea> I take it you killed old man Sommelier
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... driven him from this mortal coil."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Just better hope he didn't leave any experiments behind to go after you. He likes to do that kind of stuff
<DeathStar> *flips the page*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *waver her hand dismissively* "He won't be around to enjoy the show either way."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> True.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Unless... No. I'm sure that won't be the case
<DeathStar> *flip*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother, do not troll me."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Leaving a part of his conconsciousness behind with the experiments to "see" how they do. Like a true scientist. Being a high lord Dark One, it is doable with enough power
<DeathStar> *consciousness
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then I'll just kill him again."
<ChadWinters`> 6And Idlet floats by Noire, scanning her.
<DeathStar> *Andrea slams the Dark One book shut and leans back in thought as Katrina brings out a massive meal as well as Noire's favorite drink*
<DeathStar> *Ren reaches to steal food*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "A meal for a winner."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think the little ball is all over you
<DeathStar> *she munches*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at the Idlet* "Stop taking X-Ray scans for your dirty old master."
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> I'm only measuring corruption levels. Are you hearing any voices that aren't your own?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmmph. No."
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Any additional body parts appearing that weren't there before? I.E. a talking head?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...no..."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> That'd be a hoot. Sommelier talking to you late at night
<DeathStar> *Andrea muses* You did eat him
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Excellent. Ah yes, I didn't think of that possibility. Please let me know if he appears in your dreams.
<DeathStar> *Ren blanches
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So annoying..." *eats from her platter*
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Also, rest assured that you do not register on Mr. Winter's attractive list.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Excuse me?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Noire is super attractive, thank you
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hot to trot."
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> You were concerned I was taking x-rays of you for my old master. I have no sub-routines or protocols that would include your name that cross with anything that might be considered qoute dirty unquote
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait
<DeathStar> <Ren> So there are people you take dirty photos for though?
<DeathStar> *of
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> No.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hmmmm
<DeathStar> *her ears wiggle suspiciously*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hah!"
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> That would be an invasion of privacy and would erode trust.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Your maker doesn't have a rep for respecting privacy."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, lets trust Idlet for now though
<DeathStar> <Ren> *she eats slowl*
<DeathStar> *Andrea mumbles some ancient Darkense, practically spells*
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> This is true, but there are lines he wouldn't cross or ask me to cross.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "i suppose I can accept that..." 8goes back to eatting*
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Are you craving food you wouldn't normally eat?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...you'll have to be more specific."
<DeathStar> <Ren> She's not pregnant
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> If you were to start craving food that you don't normally eat, it could be Sommelier influencing you.
<DeathStar> *Andrea takes a seat at Noire's table*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I act by my own will."
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Excellent.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Besides, he's not even the first Dark One leader I ever ate."
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Sommelier isn't like that others. His specialty was his brain.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Just be sure not to eat me until I'm old
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mother, I will need an increased allowance then."
<DeathStar> *Andrea barks a laugh*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *eats some more of her winner meal*
<DeathStar> <Ren> So what do you plan to do after this?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well afer the battle
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pauses* "...I had not given it any thought..."
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Is that common?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances annoyedly at the idlet*
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> It's a fair question. I've learned that some people live in the moment while others plan way ahead.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I... have not... given it... any thought..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I imagine some will resume college if they still haven't been doing courses during allthis
<DeathStar> *Ren muses*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'll keep doing what I've been doing
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm..which is?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Helping out Charlotte and her family
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ah..."
<DeathStar> *Andrea quietly helps herself to food - Noire's*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this was supposed to be my winner meal..."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Sorry
<DeathStar> *she holds it out to feed her* Here
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I'm not a child anymore..."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *sigh and puts it down, propping her head* So stubborn
<Jackieness> <Noire> *brushes back her hair with a hand*
<DeathStar> <Ren> It looks like there's still a lot here. Katrina went overboard
<DeathStar> <Ren> If you could finish all this, you deserve a prizw
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I've eaten a world."
<DeathStar> <Ren> True.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *ojou pose* "Ohohohohoho!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Have you everbeen... full?
<DeathStar> *Ren muses*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmmm? I don't know..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Interesting. <Andrea> Energy is energy
<DeathStar> <Ren> I want to enter Noire in a food eating contest
<DeathStar> <Ren> And win us lots of money!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I won't be exploited."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Aw.
<DeathStar> *Ren gives her best sad fox face*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *gives Ren her resting bitch face*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Aw. You win. *munches on her food*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *resumes eatting*
<DeathStar> *Katrina returns with a large chocolate dessert*
