<DeathStar> You have failed! The two S girls have beaten you
<DeathStar> *wiggles them*
<ChadWinters> That's lifef.
<Seraphna> See, he’s not actually alive. He uses Lifef, not Life.
<DeathStar> :O
<Sara> It stands for Lifeforce, and is actually a life DRAINING skill.
<ChadWinters> Lies. Just my fat finger slipping
<DeathStar> *hides from Chad*
<ChadWinters> Good choice
<Sara> So few people. Where is everykitty ;.;

<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Session421
<DeathStar> 6* After dealing with events of 420, which we'll get back to probably on December 9th, which deals with Bix's head, the team is back to focusing on the monsters once more. The team is out in front of the plant girl's cage with Liana's grandfather in front of it
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Lumi called him in as the "monster expert" to try to understand the captured plant girl monster
<Seraphna> **Jaime rocks on her heels** So ummm... I can kind of communicate with Silica now.
<DeathStar> *Selena studies the plant girl, who in the large cage area, has been making plants and other wild plant life in her cage area and eyes them now and again
<DeathStar> <Selena> Who?
<Seraphna> Jaime> The plant girl. I named her Silica.
<Alicia> <Asha> "You know her name?"
<Alicia> <Asha> "...oh."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Sounds rocky, not planty."
<DeathStar> *Windrunner lifts Liana up over his head as they all talk*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I am biased towards Earthen names for some strange I identifiable reason.
<DeathStar> <Celes> You named the monster?
<Ariel> * Nicolette doesn't question why the plant is named rock, and just accepts it.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats there. 1"And if she already has a name?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Just after taming her.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> And what makes you think you tamed her?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I just think that it should be a good woody name. A tinny name does not do at all."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I got her to not try and mate us.
<DeathStar> *Gwen throws up his hands* Oh good. *he says in a sarcastic tone*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Wait, try what?"
<Seraphna> Talia> Yes good! Gwen is mine!
<DeathStar> <Gwen> He means the plant girl didn't try to shove a seed down her throat
<Xanatos> <Simon> I..appreciate your hard work Jaime.
<DeathStar> *she
<DeathStar> <Gwen> And cause plants to sprout out
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s just an instinct she needs to be taught not to follow. She’s intelligent enough.
<DeathStar> *Erevis muses* Well it is a newborn. What are you going to do when it gets ... bigger.
<Alicia> <Asha> *is about to say something, then pauses* "I guess. It's not like I haven't had to learn not to do things."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...watch it, Talia."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Or it's base instincts kick in. Or something older and stronger influences her.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Teach it to work for the better.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Yeah, I'm more worried about the last one."
<Seraphna> Talia> Lana is allowed to mate Gwen.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... *Covers Talia's mouth* Be serious for a while, please?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Anyway.
<Sara> * Liana eyes everyone
<Ariel> * Nicolette sighs.
<Seraphna> ** Talia puffs her cheeks**
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> *the giant of a man places Liana on his shoulder, watching them all* You all are energic
<ChadWinters> <Id> I look forward to seeing either happen.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’ve been using empathy and telepathy to do it.
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> Also ... *He holds out a giant hand toward Asha and Nicolette.* Nice to meet you.
<Xanatos> <Xan> As long as you're careful.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Nice to meet you too!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> This is Liana's grandfather. Apparantly he's battled a ton of monsterd and wrestled dragons barehanded
<ChadWinters> <Id> Hmmm. Re-writing it's core instincts. Interesting form of brainwashing
<Alicia> * Asha looks impressed. Very much so.
<DeathStar> *He shakes their hands, with enough force to shake their bodies*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *shakes his hand* "I'm Nicolette. It's an honor to meet you."
<Alicia> * Asha then looks to Id. "What, why does this have to be brainwashing?!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s more like training a child to not hurt others and to behave.
<Sara> <Liana> He wrote aaaaall those books. *she gestures widely as if it explains* Grandfather is a famous author!
<Alicia> * Asha nods to Jaime.
<Alicia> * She then looks back to Windrunner
<DeathStar> *Gwen eyes Windrunner* Yes. .... *he looks jealous*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Anyone who wrestles dragons barehanded has my utmost respect."
<Seraphna> **Talia pouts still**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Gwen, what is it?"
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> As for the monsters. I'm not sure Jaime can manage it. It's like trying to get certain animals not to do what is in their core beings. But you might can lessen it. This monster here is a newborn. But I was brought here to teach it to talk and communicate, right?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well... I-I bet I can do some of what he can do. *he looks jealous, finally uncovering Talia's mouth*
<Seraphna> Talia> Gwen is strong!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Don't let it get to you."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** I can help teach it that at least. We already have a thought dialogue going.
<DeathStar> *he brings out something a type of weird fertlizer and the plant girl perks up.* <Windrunner> I'm using this to get to get the plant monster to communicate.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Oooh, I remember that trick!"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You... do?
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats up high, watching.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Huh... that works with monsters too?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> That works too.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Proper motivation is key." *she nods*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "what if she turns out to be a Plant Monster Queen and we can get it to command the plant monsters to stop attacking?"
<DeathStar> *Windrunner motions the plant monster over and motions for the plant monster to wait, sit, hold out her hand, then gives the fertilizer*
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> Well. Any monster can technically become a Queen
<Alicia> <Asha> "Then we got really lucky, and we should do that."
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> But they have to get stronger and stronger.
<Sara> * Liana listens with interest
<Sara> * She's always like a kid when her grandfather is around
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> Do you really want a Queen on your hands?
<ChadWinters> <Id> For research purposes, yes.
<Alicia> <Asha> "So, if we take good care of her, we..." *she pauses. That question sounds bad*
<DeathStar> <Celes> That sounds like a bad idea to me...
<Seraphna> **Jaime huffs a little**
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... Wait. Am I the only one?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Well, if we can get her to behave, wouldn't it be fine?"
<Alicia> *Asha sounds... uncertain
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> The stronger the monster gets, the more willpower it gets, the smarter it gets...
<ChadWinters> <Id> It is a very bad idea Celes. It's why it's interesting.
<Seraphna> Jaime> You have to maintain a strong bond the whole time or you might be serving it.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I think he means that if she gets strong enough and smart enough to become a Queen, she's going to become less cooperative."
<DeathStar> *Erevis stares at Id, then motions at Xanatos*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Kind of like the concept of rogue AI."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can at least help manage it's powers for a time too.
<Alicia> <Asha> "The idea is that it's a cooperative relationship... but yeah, there are some possible issues!"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan reaches over and drapes a cloth over Id
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It's hard not to see her as a person... all of the monsters I've dealt with were more, well, beastly."
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> Well there are beasty type monsters. I put them into categories
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats there for a moment, like a shitty ghost, then spins, causing the cloth to drop.
<ChadWinters> <Id> That feels like a slight towards me, Lana.
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> The humanoid types, to try to lure humans, flying types, and so on. *He laughs*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Its been a recurring fear since at least the 20th century!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think we should work to make friends with the monsters, our current situation is really over an assumed aggression, I think, on both sides.
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> Anyway. *seriously* Queens can be reasoned with, don't get me wrong.
<Alicia> <Asha> *to Lana and Id* "The idea that someone who doesn't agree with you might have power over you!"
<DeathStar> *Erevis tilts her head*
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> I said they were smart and cunning, and strong. They are smart like humans and Daemons. A Monster Queen can be as smart as a Daemon practically - no offense. *to Asha*
<Seraphna> **Jaime watches Silica quietly while they talk, a vine patting Silica.**
<Alicia> <Asha> "None taken.." *though her tone suggests that she's unsure if she was just being looked down on*
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> And they will usually have a few daughters or sons, depending on the monster, to become the next Queen if they can get that strong. *Silica looks confused*
<DeathStar> *while they are talking Lumi runs up, the Celestial Dog/Kitsune mix panting* <Lumi> Hey! Everyone! Good news!
<Seraphna> **Jaime has the vine wrap around her arm and she sends warm feelings to her**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> The scout is up for talking.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oh? Good.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Great! Lets get to the bottom of this!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "He probably won't look at a salad the same again..."
<DeathStar> *Grandpa Windrunner nods and lifts Selena and Liana up, as well as Nicolette and Asha* Here, let me help
<DeathStar> *he aims them at the direction Lumi came running*
<Alicia> <Asha> "All meat diet for him!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Uh.. .wait a minute...
<Sara> <Liana> Meat is the most important meal of the day!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh my... okay Silica, be good.
<DeathStar> *then throws them with precise aim at the building, having all four land at the doorstep*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> @.@
<Seraphna> Jaime> How'd you do that without them even taking an impact!?
<DeathStar> *Selena lands gently* I'm going to get him?!
<DeathStar> <Windrunner> Practice with bears
<Seraphna> Jaime> Maybe I should drop the pheramones and copy you...
<ChadWinters> <Id> This planet's logic continues to confuse me.
<DeathStar> *Windrunner holds out his arms* Anyone else?
<Alicia> <Asha> ".... that... was pretty cool."
<DeathStar> *Gwen for his part has run off*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Umm, sure I'll try it!
<DeathStar> *he throws Jaime and she lands right behind Liana*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Huh... where did Gwen go?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wheeee!
<DeathStar> *Gwen is running all the way to the building*
<DeathStar> *refusing to be thrown*
<Seraphna> Talia> Speed of a cheetah, Gweny!!!
<Xanatos> <Simon> ... 6* He walks there like a normal person.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats alongside Simon
<Sara> * Liana chuckles
<Sara> <Liana> He's still so scared of some things, after all these years...
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ah! Wait for me!" *heads to the building on foot*
<DeathStar> <Selena> He's an odd one
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Is... he really human?"
<Sara> <Liana> The most human!
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks along with Simon, as does Celes. Soon the rest catch up. Lumi has herself be thrown and lands and Lumi shows herself inside. The scout is sitting there, eating some pudding like food*
<Sara> * Liana smiles cheerfully
<DeathStar> <Selena> I wonder actually. *Gwen pants as he stands there, leaning on a wall. He begins to talk with Asha, between deep breaths* <Gwen> Oh--yeah... I heard you met my sister... and had a fight with her...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oo, who won?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wait.. we'd know if Asha became the Amazon Queen or something.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tilts his head at the pudding and slips off to the side to get some from a cart as well. 6* He sits down and starts to eat some.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Wait, WHAT?!"
<Alicia> <Asha> "No, it was just training, it wasn't for the position, I didn't even know she was queen!"
<Sara> <Liana> That's Qui for you.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **winks** I see, totally didn't know. Not sizing her up to seize the kingdom huh?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Sooooo...?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'm just teasing. She said she had fun
<Xanatos> <Simon> What can you tell us about everything you saw. 6* He asks the scout after taking a few bites.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "He seems like a better monster fighter than any Maka I know. If he's just Human, he's some sort of paragon."
<Alicia> <Asha> "I got lucky, really. We both ringed out, but she ringed out more."
<DeathStar> *the scout looks up from his pudding* Oh. Hello. *He waves, looking like a small, and scruffy, and about to lithe.* Well. It was near the giant mountain range here... *he points*
<DeathStar> *it's along the mountain with the Magi Tower, but far north near the waters, almost, along the border*
<DeathStar> <Scout> A bunch of monsters were gathering and I could tell they were Queens. And they had powerful monsters, too. And there was a figure with a hood talking to them but I couldn't hear much of what they were saying. I could tell they were female though. Since the voice that carried in the wind was female
<Xanatos> <Simon> Any details of their face?
<DeathStar> <Scout> Sorry. The hood covered a lot of it. *He thinks*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So our Monster Lord is really a Monster Lady?
<DeathStar> <Scout> They were tall, like super tall
<DeathStar> <Scout> And they might have had blue skin under the hood
<Alicia> <Asha> "Tall, blue skinned..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well that rules out a lot doesn't it? What races have blue skin? A couple spirits but they'd never be involved.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "So maybe more on the Daemon connection?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Blue skin? 6* He flances to Erevis.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Who's to say they're from here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would hate to think a Tsivrixsh was here but there are monsters with blue skin, right?
<ChadWinters> <Id> It could also be a shapeshifter.
<DeathStar> <Celes> If you are talking blue skin from here?
<Seraphna> Jaime> The Daemon Asmodeans look a lot like Tsiv in some aspects, including the skin.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I wonder if she could be strong enough to impose her will over a number of queens..."
<Alicia> <Asha> "Should I know what a Tsivrixsh is?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. Daemon Asmodeans are the elite Daemons
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No Asha. They are a race from our part of the universe
<Alicia> <Asha> "Alright then!"
<Xanatos> <Xan> But if there's blue skinned daemon's then it's likely one of them. Right?
<DeathStar> <Celes> You are likely right, Xanatos
<Seraphna> Jaime> The only other Daemons that are blue are the Nymph's right? And their blue goes away after they start to grow up so it wouldn't be one of them...
<DeathStar> <Celes> It could be a Asmodean
<ChadWinters> <Id> And how many of them exist?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I don't think Nymphs get that tall though..
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Probably. Unless she was super ancient. But probably Asmodean."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Asmos look like this... **She pulls out a large book and opens it, chanting a bit before turning into an Asmodean girl, taller, blue, and winged** Does that help?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Also I think hair color is their thing
<Alicia> <Asha> "We should definitely look for Asmodeans first."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Their hair color shows their age
<Alicia> <Asha> "What did you just do?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well, that would make sense for why she wears a hood then."
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** Mmm? Oh I used a spellbook that the Daemon Empress gifted me.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Looks like shape magic."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Other than dramatic purposes, of course."
<DeathStar> *the scout eyes Jaime* That could be it. *he nods to Jaime*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you for your information. Is there any other details, even mundane that stood out to you?
<Alicia> <Asha> "I keep being reminded how elite everyone here is..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, far as I can tell it doesn't do anything but change my physical looks. Asmodeans are the hardest to do though so I'm umm... stuck like this for a bit.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> .... 6* He gives Jaime a look
<DeathStar> *Erevis facepalms*
<Seraphna> **JAime blushes a bit**
<DeathStar> <Celes> From what I understand, that race has the qualities of ALL the main daemons
<DeathStar> <Celes> The vampires, the nymphs, and so on
<Seraphna> Jaime> It'll wear off though, no worries. And yeah, that's why it's so complicated.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Oh, ha... not everyone here is elite."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmm... strange."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... if she starts to suck my blood I'm running
<Seraphna> Talia> THat's mine too.
<DeathStar> *Gwen throws up his hands*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Talia, not everything is yours to claim..."
<Seraphna> Talia> Is too, but I share with you.
<DeathStar> <Celes> In all seriousness though, do we go to where the monsters were last spotted, or do we investigate these "elite" Daemons?
<DeathStar> *she peers at Simon*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Shinobu would know more about them after all
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, doesn't the academy have some Asmodeans?
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would be wiser to go for the head.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I do not think so.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Elite daemons are likely a good step. Though perhaps a smaller team could go investigate the location. But with snowfall it may not provide any more insight.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... I can at least get some tor relate to me right now. **nods, having found justification for the form change**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well I don't want to go to the snow area
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So not it
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'd rather not go into the cold yet again so soon..."
<Xanatos> <Xan> I don't care to go. Better than being confused about cultures I'm too ignorant to understand.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I can go investigate the location the Scout gave us
<DeathStar> *Selena stands up*
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia will go with Gwen so no one steals his blood.
<ChadWinters> <Id> I am curious about these uber Daemons.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I will go meet with Shinobu and speak with her.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'll go to the follow up the Asmodean lead too."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Though I am not sure how much she will want to speak on the subject
<Seraphna> Jaime> She might speak with me more... we're kind friends? We could drag Alita in too.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Ah-! Hm... I should probably go investigate the Asmodean side. I mean, I don't know many Daemons, but the sisters might be able to help."
<Alicia> <Asha> "Can I go talk to Lady Shinobu too?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Of course Asha
<DeathStar> *Celes hugs Liana* What about you, love?
<Seraphna> **Jaime glances at her own shadow for some reason**
<DeathStar> *Jaime's shadow trips Jaime, making it look like Jaime is a klutz*
<Seraphna> **Jaime huffs and pouts at it**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *she peers at Xanatos* ... She is yours, you know
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is clearly no cat in her
<Seraphna> **Jaime flicks a pointed ear** M-Momma.. **she pouts**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well there goes my theory. Damn
<Alicia> <Asha> "A clumsy cat... must still be a kitten?"
<Alicia> *did she just call Jaime a kid?*
<DeathStar> *Erevis will not argue that*
<Sara> <Liana> I admit I'm more interested in tracking the monsters.
<Seraphna> **Jaime, who oddly has looked about 15 or 16 lately, wouldn't argue either**
<DeathStar> *Selena hugs Liana*
<DeathStar> <Selena> That's the spirit, momma!
<DeathStar> <Selena> So I guess it is up to me and momma Liana to save the day
<DeathStar> *She takes her hand and moves off*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm probably better off tracking Asmodeus right now anyway, no idea if the monster DNA will affect me like it does Alita.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "H-hey, we're being useful too!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Do not mind my daughter, she just loves adventure
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Errr... is it ok to let them go off on their own?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I will have Alita join them.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan muses on something, then shrugs and moves to go get his shuttle prepped.
<Seraphna> **Jaime stands up and drops a treat into her shadow**
<DeathStar> *Celes contacts Ellie to join the Shinobu team and they head off*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So... if you all want, I can teleport us to the Empire so we don't have to bespeak a Spirit to do it.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon finishes his pudding and stands up.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You cna do that?"
<Alicia> <Asha> "That'd be good. I don't mind spirit transportation, but it's quicker if you can."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your little wand thing?
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Yeah, my staff lets me create shadowports.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Right. Two transports a day, if I recall
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I have to study this..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> That would be acceptable to me as long as it does not weaken you like it did the spirits.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods more** Yep! Doesn't seem to limit how many I can take with me though.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be bad if it does.
<DeathStar> *she muses to SImon* Come, let us go then
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Daemon Capital
<DeathStar> The Daemon Capital, sometimes referred to as Eus, is a large network of structures. Black, with spidery-web like substances connecting them that is also black, but strong enough to walk upon - serving as catwalks, these buildings stand at various heights, anywhere from 1-2 floors all the way up to 15 stories. The buildings and floors are connected to each other with these substances, allowing Daemons to move to each structure easily in various neighbors, since the Capital is divided into such neighborhoods.
<DeathStar> The Neighborhoods, as they are called, allow the Daemon races to live amongst their own kind - if they wish. Despite there only being 3 playable Daemon races, there are in fact many. There are Oni, Inugami, Vampires, Adi, and more. Each neighborhood in the capital allows the Daemons to have their own tastes and stores, fancies and housing, so they can partake in what they desire. The werebeast live amongst them and escaped Fauna that have married into werebeast culture.
<DeathStar> The Main Block is fancier, with the buildings here still being black designed, but looking more gothic in design, with statues and beautiful, creepy artichtect, like something out of Dracula. Taking up the main portion of the capital, it leads along the middle area of it, while the Neighbors spread out along the sides.
<DeathStar> The Main Block also has schools, libraries on Daemon culture, and more. Growing along all the buildings, including the Neighborhoods, are luminescent vines and mushrooms, providing lighting at night and during the twilight. And in the center of the Capital is The Tower, which is where the Daemon Empress and her family lives, as well as workers, and Advisors.
<DeathStar> *Celes peers about as they walk, passing various stores and whatnot, used to the scene now - even the areas where servants, or indentured slaves - are being sold*
<DeathStar> *heading for the Tower*
<DeathStar> *Sylph flies along, eating a dark fruit*
<Sara> * Ellie eyes the fruit quietly
<Ariel> * Nicolette has to set a quick pace to keep up with the determined Celes, her cape fluttering behind her.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon walks along, arms pulled behind his back as he glances around, having seen this a fair bit himself there's no surprise on his face but the occassional perked eyebrow as he remembers something that differs to their norm.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> This place has too many things to keep track of. *the area seems to still be in a bit of distress like last time they saw it, and an air of mistrust - whatever is going on is still happening but not as badly*
<Alicia> <Asha> "It's strange how the big city can feel strange yet like home at the same time."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I sense a tense vibe though."
<Alicia> * Asha nods. "What happened here?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Yeah, there's always been tension, but..."
<DeathStar> *they reach the Tower and the Tower Guards see them, two giant Oni like guards and they wave them in* <Celes> If I recall there is a slight undercurrent of rebellion of some houses though Shinobu has taken some ou
<Alicia> <Asha> "That doesn't sound good."
<DeathStar> <Celes> But I suppose once that is seeded it does not fully go away
<DeathStar> *the fruit, Ellie would see, seems to be a strange dark fruit, like a corrupted version of an apple. Smells good*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats along, taking everything in. 1"Memories are not easily forgotten.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods, moving along, peering over thing as they walk**
<Xanatos> <Simon> Dissent in the ranks of various daemon clans. Shinobu insisted she would take care of it.
<DeathStar> *once inside they step onto a large platform that begins to rise up*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I get vertigo going up this everytime
<ChadWinters> <Id> I've never experienced vertigo.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Afraid of heights?"
<DeathStar> *they pass floor after floor rapidly* <Gwen> No. It's just this thing is so fast. *they reach 49 something and the platform stops. Shinobu is behind her desk. Long white hair and red eyes, she exudes a presense - one can tell she is a Daemon Vampire as she peers at them. Wearing a black dress, and next to her is another white haired vampire in a gothic dress - Rain.*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Is it the sense of upward motion, Gwen?"
<DeathStar> *both are on the short size, though both give off an aura - right now the aura is toned down a bit*
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> Simon. Queen Celes. *she nods to the rest* I was not aware of an emergency.
<Seraphna> **Jaime waves** Hey Shinobu, Rain.
<Ariel> * Nicolette stands up straighter.
<DeathStar> *Rain nods, peering over to see if Sasha is with them perhaps, though it is hard to tell*
<Alicia> * Asha enters, and bows in respect
<Xanatos> <Simon> Apologies for the sudden arrival. 6* He bows his head as he approaches.
<Alicia> * Asha is excited to even be in the presence of Shinobu
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> It is no problem. *The Queen of the Dark Lands rises and moves over to the team, hands behind her back; she smiles to Asha*
<DeathStar> <Celes> We wanted to discuss something with you about the Monster Lord
<Xanatos> <Simon> Based on information from a scout we believe we may know their race. 6* He begins to go over what little details the scout gave them.
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> *eyes Jaime out of the corner of her eyes, frowning a little, then turns, her face frowning some more* ....
<Seraphna> **Jaime motions over herself to silently indicate what his details correlate to**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Also you were right... this form seems to lock for a bit for some reason. I'm kinda stuck this way until the spell wears off on it's own.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats along with the others. "It's the only lead that we have. It may be wrong.
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> If you are lucky. *she tells Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs and nods** If I'm lucky.
<Alicia> <Asha> "...oops?"
<DeathStar> *Shinobu sighs and turns* What do you know about them?
<Seraphna> **Jaime shrugs** No use worrying over spilt milk. I'll just have to find a way to change back otherwise if it fails to restore.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "That... seems a reckless risk to take, for a demonstration..."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...you mean Jaime never tried that before?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well I got excited and I've been a bit more spontaneous than usual lately.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well I've done some fauna forms and a lilen... among some other stuff, but not this one.
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> The Asmos Daemon are considered a ruling class Daemon. *she begins*
<ChadWinters> <Id> I'm sure Gnome will love you regardless
<Alicia> <Asha> "It's... just a superficial transformation, right?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Very little. Female, blue skinned, but somehow able to control monster queens.
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> *she paces around, restless* One of my parents was an Asmos Daemon
<Seraphna> Jaime> Also on the tall end.
<Alicia> <Asha> "We know they're tall too."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes. Tall. Thank you. 6* He nods to the two.
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> *nods* <Rain> There are not many of them. In Shinobu's family, her father was one, and her two sisters. Shinobu had vampire traits.
<ChadWinters> <Id> That does help narrow it does. Out of curiosity, are there any that may be trying to move against you?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Few enough, that we could check up on the whereabouts of the known ones?"
<DeathStar> <Rain> Asmos daemons have traits of all the daemons, though not as strong as the daemon they are based on. Their phermones are not as strong as a Lilin, their vampire powers are not as strong as a vampire, but they have ALL of them.
<DeathStar> <Rain> And they usually mate for life.
<DeathStar> <Rain> So yes. It should be easy enough
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** I've heard they can also shapeshift. Is THAT why this spell is so different?
<DeathStar> <Rain> Yes they can. Likely why it is giving you trouble is because of the strength. Maybe it will run out in a few hours. For now. *she moves to the noble family registry*
<Alicia> <Asha> "If they have all the daemon traits, that would make sense..."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe you cna try shapeshifting back into yourself?"
<DeathStar> <Rain> I suppose you want to look into the daemons who are single first
<Seraphna> Jaime> I-I suppose?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Does single or mated even matter in this instance?
<ChadWinters> <Id> I would prefer those that have been known to have a hidden agenda or have made power grabs in the past
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'm guessing that a mated Asmodean would not trave without their mate."
<Alicia> <Asha> "Being in, or not being in, a relationship influences agendas... but I don't know how."
<DeathStar> <Rain> Asmos mates usually are close by each other. The Monster Lord seems to be off on their own from what you described
<DeathStar> <Rain> I mean it is not conceivable the mate is going off for a few hours at a time, but this sounds like days or weeks at a time project
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "By that logic, a previously mated Asmodean would be even more likely."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I suppose that works. **she frowns** Is it weird the only real thing that bothers me about this form is that monogamy thing?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Unless they are working together.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Well, if you want me to add every name, very well
<DeathStar> *she begins to jot namesdown*
<DeathStar> *Rain looks at Shinobu, perhaps wondering if she wants her to add her remaining sister*
<DeathStar> *Sylph tugs on Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Elliiiie
<Alicia> <Asha> "Is monogamy that big a deal~?"
<DeathStar> *after a while Rain turns over 45 names*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *sighs* "Knowing our luck, it'll probably be an Asmodean that is thought to be dead, but isn't, so has teamed up with monsters for a personal agenda..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> This is a long one but... Shinobu, did they ever recover your sister's body?
<DeathStar> *Shinobu twitches*
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> No. I am still working on that
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods, frowning**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *mouths 'sister?'*
<Alicia> <Asha> "... that was..." *she pauses* "I get that it's important to find out who it is, but..."
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> I am pretty sure I know what house has it and am just monitoring them
<Xanatos> <Simon> Are we able to assist in any way?
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> I will be fine
<Seraphna> Jaime> I just remember that cult during the last hallows end festival summoning those monsters, and I feel like at least some of this is connected.
<Alicia> * Asha nods, respectfully
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> You are probably not too far off. But you have our names
<DeathStar> *Shinobu moves back to her name, probably not too thrilled at talking about Asmos Daemons since her sister was one*
<DeathStar> *name - desk
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... if I do get out of this form I think I'll forget about that page in the book in the future.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmmm..."
<Alicia> <Asha> "Aww." *she says this in a joking tone*
<DeathStar> *Shinobu nods to Asha* You are welcome to stop by again another time. *she notes to her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm fine with Daemon forms, but also like my own. **she grins a bit**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Wow. Look at you
<Alicia> <Asha> "Thank you!" *she bows again*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you lady Shinobu. We appreciate all you have done for and will do in the future. 6* He bows his head and moves for the exit.
<Xanatos> (done for us)
<DeathStar> *Celes walks out with Simon, peering at the list of names* I guess we start checking out these names?
<DeathStar> *Sylph eyes the names*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles to Shinobu** Sorry for causing you distress... see you later Shinobu?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Is there food?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Should we split up to check all these names?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Sooooo...elephant in the room... and we are likely all thinking it... the sister..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime turns to follow the others**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are thinking the dead sister is the hooded woman?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Are we? 6It looks over Lana
<Seraphna> Talia> THink was brought back as evil monster lady using complicated Daemon Ritual to lead revolution to overthrow Shinobu and steal her deamon fishing supplies?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There was a rumor a year ago the houses thought something about the dead sister's name was being used to overthrow Shinobu, but it was just the houses, was it not?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well... it wouldn't have been brought up in there if someone else didn't think it!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But if you are right, then we will be wasting our time checking these names.
<DeathStar> *she looks at Simon*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Unless the houses were in fact doing something with it. But that's just a theory, it could well be anyone.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Then we should check it out.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But that's just it... how do we folllow that line of inquiry without pressing the wrong buttons?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I mean, I just demonstrated that it's possible to even pretend to be one.
<Seraphna> Jaime> That is... if the person is strong enough to go back...
<Xanatos> <Simon> The lack of a body is suspicious...
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I was expecting someone who was mistakenly reported as dead, but if they could have brought back someone actually dead, that complicates matters."
<Alicia> <Asha> "I think it's more likely to be a pretender"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> This is going to take a bit
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Mountain
<DeathStar> *Selena trudges through the snow, wearing a furry coat*
<DeathStar> <Selena> This is way more fun than investigating
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes the map as she works her way with her mom*
<Sara> <Liana> Yeah, just talking to people and stuff... overrated.
<Seraphna> **Alita pulls her coat about herself** I feel as though I might have been miscast for this one.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Also, these are SOME views, huh? 6* He extends his arms out and spins, slips slightly, catching himself and moves forward.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan whistles to himself, zipping his bomber jacket up more and pulls out a datapad to begin scanning the area.
<DeathStar> *Selena laughs; then trips over a snowdrift*
<DeathStar> *she pauses and peers down, eyeing what looks to be a tunnel*
<DeathStar> *much like the slime queen tunnels*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Now that was karma.
<Seraphna> Alita> Seems you've found something.
<DeathStar> <Selena> This was hidden. Ow.
<Xanatos> <Xan> What? But my scans...I was going to show how great our technology is.
<DeathStar> *Selena slides a bit into the cave and there are torches, recently lit, along the wall*
<Sara> * Liana follows after
<DeathStar> *well cave/tunnel*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sighs, pockets the scanner and moves after, pulling out his pistol.
<Seraphna> **Alita holds out her staff and slides down too, using her wings to glide and land gracefully**
<DeathStar> <Selena> *peers around as they go, the torches flickering silently as they soon reach a 3 way path and the torches end.*
<DeathStar> *Selena kneels and studies the ground, trying to see which way to go, left or right*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hm. ...hm...
<DeathStar> <Selena> *laughs* Momma, which way does your adventurer's heart say?
<Sara> <Liana> Most people go left at intersections first so... right, of course!
<Xanatos> <Xan> See I would've went left. What a sheep I've become.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I agree! Right is the best choice. *She beams at her mother and heads that way*
<Seraphna> **Alita pats Xanatos and follows them**
<DeathStar> *they soon come across an area with a few torches and a few monsters. Liana, Alita, and Xanatos would see a Slime Monster that looks a lot like the Slime Monster in its final form - a slinder girl like figure, standing by a hooded tall woman, a large beast - a behemoth? And a dragon like creature*
<DeathStar> *the hooded woman is finishing orders and the behemoth and the dragon is moving off down the tunnel and the slime monster remains as a guard as the hooded woman waits - perhaps for more monsters or until the monsters are gone*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan glances down, he doesn't have the little wind spirit with him does he? He tchs and tries to quietly get an image of the hooded person's face, zooming in with his cybernetic eye.
<DeathStar> *no - the little wind spirit seems to still be huffy with him since his "disrespect". Guess he better make it up to it. It's probably off eating cheese*
<DeathStar> *Xanatos would zoom in and see what looks to be a blue woman with silver hair*
<DeathStar> *and dark black eyes*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan takes pictures of every enemy present, including the hooded woman.
<Sara> * Liana squints
<DeathStar> *the hooded woman pauses and begins to walk in their direction*
<DeathStar> *with the slime monster body guard - it might be the slime is a candidate to be the next slime queen*
<Seraphna> **Alita frrowns, gripping her flame staff and standing ready**
<Xanatos> <Xan> .... 6* He motions for them to back up with him and begins to pull himself back away
<DeathStar> *Selena frowns at Xanatos wanting to retreat when they have the Monster Lord right there*
<DeathStar> *She glances at the other two, wondering if they disagree with her assment to deal with this now*
<Sara> * Liana draws her sword
<Seraphna> **Alita seems to be getting ready to hide, a healer, not a fighter**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan eyes the two and shakes his head.
<DeathStar> *Selena draws her Hapian Sword with Liana. The Monster Lord nears them, then suddenly stops, lifting their head up*
<DeathStar> <Monster Lord> ....
<DeathStar> <Monster Lord> Huh. Xanatos Durran. Husband of Erevis Zhenmei. I see you are back in the picture.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Uh what? 6* He says dumbfounded, forgetting he was being stealthy
<DeathStar> <Monster Lord> And you two. Queen Consort and the Princess of Hapian.
<DeathStar> *she peers at Liana and Selena*
<Seraphna> **Alita blinks a bit** You... know her?
<DeathStar> <Monster Lord> I studied this place extensively. Alita Endarr
<DeathStar> *they pull the hood back - it is clearly an Asmos Daemon*
<Seraphna> **Alita tilts her head** So you are an Asmos... but... why?
<Sara> <Liana> Not exactly very polite to try to intimidate us with our names without introducing yourself first.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm sorry, back in the picture? Do I know you?
<DeathStar> <Monster Lord> No. But I know about you. I am the Tarehian God - Autumn. And I am using this body of Neophyx Ilas, the Empress of the Dark Lands.
<Sara> <Liana> It's not yours to just use!
<Seraphna> Alita> Tarehian God... Autumn...
<DeathStar> <Autumn> She wasn't exactly around to use it anymore, was she?
<Seraphna> Alita> The ones those children from the Tree are hunting?
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Hunting me? Hm. I have missed out on a lot of things.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan rubs his face.
<Xanatos> <Xan> So what's the play here? Take over the planet?
<Seraphna> Alita> Well not you specifically... they are after Gods. **she tilts her head** We don't have anything in our world that makes such a claim.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> *she slowly walks forward, forming a weapon made out of the earth - it seems Autumn's powers are made out of nature*
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Hm. I'm not really into such things. So can I pass? Or do I have to deal with you?
<DeathStar> *she eyes Liana* Because with this body I think I can win
<DeathStar> *Selena is circling on Autumn's right*
<Sara> <Liana> You can't.
<Sara> * Liana moves around the left
<DeathStar> *Autumn frowns, clearly ticked off*
<DeathStar> <Autumn> And this is why I like the monsters of this planet better. They are more in tune with nature to me.
<Sara> <Liana> A woman's body is sacred, and only she gets to decide how it's used.
<Seraphna> Alita> Beginning to feel like we should have brought Jaime here to talk to her... look... perhaps we could all try and discuss this?>
<DeathStar> <Autumn> *smiles sweetly* Tell you what. Beat me and I'll find another body. *She tells Liana*
<Seraphna> Alita> You don't need that particular body right? Another would do?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Errr. Yeah I think most of the alliance people would rather be diplomatic here.
<DeathStar> *she launches her attack at Liana and swings her rock sword at Liana's head*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well shit.
<Seraphna> Alita> Or we could go right into that...
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Well if you want to talk her--- *grunts with the swing* I will be glad to
<Sara> <Liana> Dammit. *she moves to parry the sword, wondering where her tertiary move went at a time like this*
<Seraphna> Alita> Then perhaps we can put our swords down?
<DeathStar> *Selena comes in and attacks from the side, forcing Autumn to parry back and step back* <Autumn> ... And?
<DeathStar> <Autumn> What then?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Tell us what you want. What's the point of all this monster stuff?
<Seraphna> Alita> Reaching an understanding is what talking would be for. Needless agression only wastes life on both sides.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I am just giving them a voice. And helping them organize - get stronger, become a nation onto themselves under me. They can become smarter and since they are part of nature I can tap into that.
<Seraphna> Alita> That doesn't sound so bad. The Daemons were once thought of as monsters too and had to make their own nation. Perhaps we can agree to give them land and a place to call their own?
<Xanatos> <Xan> That sounds exactly what Simon or Celes was agree too. 6* He nods to Alita. Watching careful to make sure no one is about to slip and get really injured in this fight.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> *smiles at Liana at that triumphant way*
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Looks like your allies are against you, dear
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I do not mind being given some land.
<Seraphna> Alita> At the same time, I think our advanced allies from space might be able to get you a body that is your own, so that we can lay that girl to rest.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Hm. I will need a body like this to keep the monsters in check you now
<Seraphna> Alita> One of my former coworkers, Sammael, mentioned she was once in a manufactured body.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> But I will agree if it meets my standards
<Seraphna> Alita> Perhaps they can replicate it.
<Sara> * Liana seems completely unimpressed
<DeathStar> <Selena> Wait - we're going to give the monsters their own land. To a body snatcher?! What kingdom will give them the land?
<Seraphna> Alita> Maybe a little of them all, even the Academy.
<Seraphna> Alita> That is what talks will decide.
<Xanatos> <Xan> What would you rather have, a war? Innocents dying because we couldn't work out a deal?
<Seraphna> Alita> I think giving a little land is far less of a loss than the lives in a senseless war between monsters and all others.
<DeathStar> *Selena makes a face and turns to peer to the side*
<DeathStar> <Selena> No
<Sara> <Liana> Terrorism shouldn't be allowed to win so easily either, though. That much is true.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I completely understand the frustration, I promise. But more voices need to weigh in on this than are here currently.
<Seraphna> Alita> I'll address the nations of the Legion and and the Empire, as I am connected to both.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I will look forward to it. I will meet you all to talk again. *she peers at Liana and moves off*
<Sara> <Liana> Frankly, no one has a right to just steal a body, so why should they be rewarded for that!?
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *grips her sword handle*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan waits for her to leave.
<Seraphna> **Alita nods** We're not rewarding her, we're allowing her to live, and she is clearly only trying to survive in the way she know show.
<Xanatos> <Xan> If she dies now the monsters might rampage.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Momma would have won you know. That body might have been stronger. But that woman clearly was not a fighter
<Seraphna> Alita> What person or thing doesn't deserve that right?
<Seraphna> Alita> Maybe... though a nature 'goddess in a cave of earth...
<Seraphna> Alita> She may have been holding back.
<Sara> <Liana> This will come back to bite us someday. *she says simply as she sheathes her sword*
<Seraphna> Alita> I'm sure similar was said when an accord was reached with my people.
<DeathStar> <Selena> If that woman fails to keep the monsters under control, you can bet on it
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> (final scene)
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So... let me get this straight
<DeathStar> <Gwen> A strange so called God has taken over Shinobu's sister's body
<DeathStar> <Gwen> And is rallying the monsters
<Xanatos> 6* Xan taps his nose and points to Gwen.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...this is not good.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Shinobu is going to go nuts when she learns about this in reports
<Alicia> <Asha> "So it was her... but also an imposter!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I imagine Rain will be coming back to the Academy to deal with things and be Shinobu's eyes
<Xanatos> <Simon> She certainly will and if we hide the information she will stop trusting us.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Interesting. I wonder how Lore and her kids will react to this.
<Seraphna> **Alita sighs** Frankly, half my reason to push for an exchange was so that we didn't have to desecrate my sister in law's body in order to free her.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *listens to all this without a word*
<Seraphna> Alita> If we can return it in tact to be laid to rest, it will help her credit with the nobility.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am actually a bit more concerned for another reason
<Alicia> <Asha> "What's that?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> That these so-called Gods aren't always trustworthy?
<Seraphna> **Jaime rocks in her seat, listening** Maybe I should have gone with Selena...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There might be the smallest chance her sister might still be in there due to the God taking over. I find it rather ... chilling ... if the God can take over dead bodies.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would lead to rot and decay, yes?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Oh! Right!"
<Seraphna> Alita> Indeed, unless their power maintains the body.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Depends on if they have a way to stop it.
<Xanatos> <Xan> We should try to get Lorelei and her crew in. But then they'll go right for the killing blow.
<ChadWinters> <Id> That's not true, Durran. They have let a few live.
<Seraphna> Alita> Ah... if the goddess does require a living body...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well they are in the Unknown Regions for who knows how long
<Seraphna> Alita> Then we may be able to save her if we can get the body back whole.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm definitely missing something here."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So it will be up to us until then. *she turns to Asha* There are 13 false Gods
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "This whole situation is really unsettling..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Who are taking over people's bodies to be "reborn"
<Seraphna> Alita> Anything but death can be healed, and if she is only bordering death....
<Alicia> <Asha> "... oh, I see where this is going."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "This situation is dangerous."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Right now Lorelei's team is dealing with them
<Seraphna> Alita> Shinobu may actually find this possibility better than we thought.
<Seraphna> Alita> I know she misses her sister.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Some of the Gods are working with their host bodies I believe, but only a few.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, one even took Ulieah's daughter as a host.
<Xanatos> <Simon> While I am typically...pacifist and willing to overlook much in our steps towards peace. I...find this unsettling...and difficult to think that the peaceful approach is worthwhile.
<Alicia> <Asha> "So, how do we get the God out of the body?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe one took a body that was sick and healed it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lorelei can force the parasite out and not harm the body
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The other way is to kill the God and the person.
<Seraphna> Alita> There is a third way.
<Alicia> <Asha> "... lets rely on Lorelei."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sounds like we either work with her, giving them land and what not or we capture and imprison her until Lorelei can get here which could be....months?
<Seraphna> Alita> That's what I was hoping to get her to do, voluntarily vacate the body for another one.
<ChadWinters> <Id> If another body is what she wants, we could clone one for her and if she becomes a problem. We can use the clone virus to take her out.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And how do you intend to delay events until they return?"
<Seraphna> Alita> Can't your PAX produce clone bodies?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Well... I'm okay with this."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan makes a face at casual clone talk.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Not really.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Clones are difficult at best. Cloned parts like a hand, foot, leg.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is easy enough. A body is much more difficult. A mind, extremely hard
<ChadWinters> <Id> Cran has more or less perfected it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Even he went insane from doing it to mcuh
<Seraphna> Jaime> What about an empty body?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Cloning takes years, hundreds of failures, and....really, cran? I don't trust that shit.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... I will look into Jaime. But the technology is on the Empress' side
<Seraphna> Jaime> Didn't you all put Sammael into a body before the PAX was even fully operational?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Agreed. But like I said, we have a fail safe for clones with that virus that was released on Earth a bit back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Which means working with her
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And how will you deal with the eatting habits and reproductive habits of these monsters? Are we to explain to the people that they must sarifice for peace?"
<DeathStar> *Selena sighs at tall this talk*
<DeathStar> *Lumi suddenly busts in*
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...the islands. If we could relocate the current survivors, they could provide a good home for the monsters. But would they be big enough? 6* He considers.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Xaaanaaaatos
<ChadWinters> <Id> They may not be habitable enough for them
<Xanatos> <Xan> .... I don't like the way you said my name.
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers over**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That might be an idea, Simon
<DeathStar> *Lumi hands an order to sign* Lorelei's kids aren't here so can you sign this?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan squints and looks at what he's signing.
<DeathStar> *it's a space station, named whatever name the kids gave it*
<DeathStar> *meant to loom over Geyze*
<DeathStar> <Celes> W-What is this?
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm sorry....what!?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> The kids saved Luna and they got a space station. They are building it right now. It's 40% done.
<Seraphna> **Jaime rises up and sighs, stretching** Well... I'm gonna go hide in my grove until this spell hopefully ends. I sense antics.
<DeathStar> *Selena leans back in her seat to eye the sky*
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...I never saved anything and was given a space station....
<DeathStar> *Erevis pats Xanatos*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *rises* "If Rain is returning to manage this situation, then I shall see that he quarters are prepared again." *steps out*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was because everytime you did something you blew something up afterward
<Seraphna> Jaime> Technically Daddy, you helped save the PAX and married it's Empress so you got that.
<ChadWinters> <Id> You technically had the entire PAX
<Alicia> <Asha> "I thought that was a moon..."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh, yeah, fair. 6* He says to all 3 and signs it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is true. You do have ownership of the PAX
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well not you can use that thing to scan stuff...
<DeathStar> <Gwen> When it's done
<DeathStar> *now
<Xanatos> <Xan> OH YEAH! TECHNOLOGY! 6* He grabs Gwen and shakes him.
<Seraphna> **Jaime picks up Erevis as she goes** I require momma comfort time till this blows over.
<DeathStar> *Gwen makes a noise*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> GAAAAAH
<ChadWinters> <Id> If they give you permission to use it
<DeathStar> *the two tiny spirits peek out of Nicolette's hat*
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...I signed for it so it's mine technically?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Possession is nine tenths of the law they say
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh this is going to be great, I'm going to scan everything. ALL OF YOU ARE GETTING SCANNED.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I-I do not like this...
<DeathStar> <Selena> At all.
<Seraphna> **Jaime carries Erevis off for the teleporters**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good luck~
<DeathStar> *Gwen foams and falls over*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps out to investigate the likelihood that the islands could provide residence for the monsters.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Gwen!" *moves to his side*
<Seraphna> Talia> You broke him! I require 1000 credits for the repair bill. Which I will spend on fancy tuna.
