<DeathStar> Date: 10-640.9.12
<DeathStar> Location: Cheryl's Mansion
<DeathStar> 6* While the team on Geyze is dealing with Autumn and getting the body back, at that moment under Cheryl's Manor, once Cran's manor, the team is deep below. These days there is no Marcus, who is off being sunny. In fact the team is kind of emptyish
<DeathStar> *Lemon stands there, eyeing the reports as the news plays in the background about Luna, who has taken a lot of damage from the Lunar quakes - which should not be possible - as well as stuff going on around Earth since the incidents going on*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane sits nearby at his station, leaned over a table soldering something to a small device.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> *steps in, shaking off some rain off her clothes* Well, I got some bad news and worse news
<DeathStar> *Ben leans back in thought, tapping his chin, rubbing a beard he's been growing out*
<Sara> <Chris> Sounds... typical.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances up, a magnifying lens over one eyes.
<DeathStar> *Ben having been hanging around the team since the manor is his home after all*
<DeathStar> <Vesta> *to Chris* Well the slight good news for you. Your home was not attacked. From what the Vice President can tell, it was.. .a natural cause ? Maybe? No one is still able to determine but it seems to be not caused by people
<Seraphna> **Reese sighs a bit and peers over**
<Xanatos> <Kane> So the device inside the moon is not the cause?
<DeathStar> <Vesta> No. <Lemon> Thank goodness
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. I was wrong. 6* He muses to himself, pulling the lens off of his head and placing it down on the table.
<Seraphna> Reese> Moonquakes aren't a very normal thing, are they?
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Earth has been scrambling as many people as they can to help out up there as they can, but the bad news is Luna has caused some issues on Earth too. It won't be too noticable at first but it is believed that Earth will begin to get more rain and crazy weather over the next few years. Especially around here. *she highlights places of Earth to expect rising water levels*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Hm. This seems somewhat familiar...
<DeathStar> *Lemon moves over to casefiles*
<DeathStar> <Ben> *peers at Lemon, then at Vesta, who peers at the others* <Vesta> Other bad news. The place we think Marcus was at under cover ? It was hit the hardest. We think he might have been... you know...
<Seraphna> **Reese yawns a bit** What's the rest of the news like?
<Xanatos> <Kane> The damage to the moon was enough to affect the gravity? That is...troublesome.
<Xanatos> <Kane> If it's not corrected... 6* He moves to a clear board and begins to write out calculations on it in dry erase marker.
<Seraphna> **Reese meanwhile checks the rest of the news, since weird stuff like this is usually a distraction from something more important, what that is could be worrisome if the moon is shaking**
<Sara> <Chris> I assume the Sunny-following crazies might have something to do with all this since it's Luna
<Seraphna> **Reese taps the news feeds, seeing what else is going on**
<Xanatos> <Kane> Dead? That is a shame.
<DeathStar> *shadows in the room wobble and vanish*
<Seraphna> Reese> Of come on. I'm sure he's like double alive now only because it's easy to assume he's dead. That's Marcus' luck.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Well we'll have to hope so. *To Chris* I don't know but they're definitely taking advantage of it
<Seraphna> Reese> Dias rubbed off on him too many times.
<Sara> * Chris gives a solemn nod
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Your Luna police force is having their hands with them
<DeathStar> *Lemon rolls her chair over* Here it is
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *she sets some case files down* There is a report that a team went to a flooded earth
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Some time in the near future
<Seraphna> Reese> Right... isn't that when we learned that Lore's kids were gonna be there?
<DeathStar> <Vesta> I think that was during that Death Spirit stuff
<Seraphna> Reese> Shit, and they're all grown now. So it was way sooner than hoped.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Was that one of our groups that visited this future?
<Seraphna> Reese> So... we know this is gonna fuck the planet. Anything we can do to stop it?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I wish I could remember the details
<DeathStar> <Lemon> But the notes are very vague
<Xanatos> <Valen> If we can find out who went there we could speak with them and learn more. If it's indeed the future we can expect...the moon is likely the cause.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Cheryl must have been the note taker.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I should try to find her and see what all she remembers
<Seraphna> Reese> At least if she can remember who did go.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Is she still doing missions with Taiga on the PAX?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. We'll have to wait
<DeathStar> *Lemon closes it* In the mean time, lets try to find Marcus.
<Seraphna> Reese> Can we like, knock the moon back into place? Shit that's a Dias answer.
<Sara> <Chris> Somehow I doubt it would even be the first time.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Psch
<Xanatos> <Kane> Theoretically we can reposition the moon. Large ships and tractor beams. But it is a very expensive operation.
<DeathStar> <VestA> Like someone could do that
<Seraphna> Reese> Probably less expensive than the planet turning into an ocean world.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Look into it
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 9.17.5999
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> 6* Luna woes! Luna continues to be in trouble according to the HoloNet on the datapad playing on the table
<Alicia> * Sparkling watches, worriedly, unable to help
<Xanatos> <Xan> Poor Moon. I lived there for a while, nice place.
<DeathStar> <News Caster> According to sources, there are reports that secret, elite, hidden teams are planning to push the moon back into place. But what about the colonists? How will that effect them ? Also there are reports about Dark Shadows seen in the rubble. Are shadows trying to eat you now? News at 11!
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** It's too bad we don't have a Moon Spirit.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was always fond of Tokyo
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh no the house...
<DeathStar> <Selena> *eyes the datapad* Is that how Earth does their news?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And there's the clickbait."
<Seraphna> Jaime> It'll get flooded....!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...maybe I could knock it back in place?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis blinks* I do hope the flood is slow...
<DeathStar> *Gwen peers at Sparkling slowly*
<ChadWinters> <Id> I believe you should have your head checked.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...you're right, I'm not strong enough."
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks at Sparkling** Can you? Aww...
<Xanatos> <Xan> People only read headlines, so they do that shit to try and tempt people to click through to the article.
<Seraphna> **Talia pounces on top of Id** GOT YOU BALL FIEND!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I should be doing something, though..."
<ChadWinters> 6Talia would hit a light barrier and bounce off, causing it to flicker then disappear
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *pats Sparkling* Magik is as powerful as you believe in it
<Seraphna> **Talia mewls and hides behind Gwen, hissing at Id**
<Seraphna> Talia> He has evil demon ball magic.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Then... I'd just need to hype myself up...?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah but like...moving a whole moon?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Don't mock my belief in myself!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe you cna do special training."
<DeathStar> *The datapad begins to talk about everyone who is running in this year's election - yes, this is surprisingly the final year of Dias' Presidency, 640, I did the math, and many are surprised Dias is not around and his Vice President is having to do his campaigning*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Yeah, and I can power up into an even sparklier form and fire moon la... wait, no. I can't fire lasers from the moon at the moon."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...maybe you could use lasers from another moon to fire at the moon that is in trouble."
<Sara> <Ellie> I have no idea what anyone is saying anymore
<Sara> <Ellie> Do you, Sylphie?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> She wants to blow up the moon
<Sara> <Ellie> Oh.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Firing a laser at the moon would only drill in to it, not repulse it.
<Sara> <Ellie> *pause* Why?
<DeathStar> *the datapad talks about how a young teenager tried to run against Dias but rules say she was too young - can you guess who it was*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and tilts her head**
<Xanatos> <Xan> How many of our allies have became president? It's like...most of them, right?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Cheryl, Angela, Cran, Dias.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mr. Darien, Angela and Cheryl... Kane... umm... do we count Cran?
* kalonZombee has joined #TAW-Session429
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I do not know
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... is it okay for a hero to be president at the same time?"
<DeathStar> *Celes clears her throat* Anyway. I guess we have two things on the table
<DeathStar> <Celes> Ellie and Sylph want us to do an experiment with the Ice Twins, and Sparkling wants to punch a moon
<DeathStar> <Celes> Which shall we focus on? Or should we split teams?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Experiment with the Ice twins?
<DeathStar> <Selena> If Nicolette was here SParkling might have more of a chance
<Sara> <Ellie> I had a realization the other day
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Ellie is smart!
<Sara> <Ellie> The elder spirits seemingly can't co-exist with ours, right?
<Sara> <Ellie> But there's already two co-existing ice spirits
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** That... is true.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances up from reading and considers that before nodding in agreement with Alita.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And I wonder if we could do fusion..."
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia is there. She's been there the whooooole time.
<ChadWinters> <Id> The idea of fusion could cause several out comes. I am curious at that.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm, Simon, are you close enough to them to join with one?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I do not join.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ah... should I call in Jennifer then? She's got that level of a pact with them.
<DeathStar> *Celes to Sparkling* For now, it looks like we are splitting teams up
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So, I'm on the moon team?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> I could discuss joining with Celsius if that would help. 6* He considers.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I Want to watch this little weirdo push the moon.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will go with her
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> I'm with whatever my sister does because someone needs to be with her and make sure she doesn't pull a Mykel level move.
<Seraphna> Alita> I'll assist with the Spirits.
<kalonZombee> 6*She eyes Alita
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Mykel-level move?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> You mean becoming a geeky assistant?
<Seraphna> Alita> She's sour that I considered giving my body to Autumn to maintain peace.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Oh that. <Gwen> What if she is already Autumn?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...Autumn was totally feling us up..."
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> Sour is putting it lightly, dear.
<DeathStar> *Gwen jerks backwards*
<DeathStar> *runs off*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Clearly plotting to become us!"
<Seraphna> Talia> I'm tying a rope to him.
<Seraphna> Talia> Lana, make me a magic Gwen rope.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Team Moon
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers over the destruction of the moon - it's not super bad, but buildings have cracks and area look in shambles. Gwen rubs the back of his head
<Seraphna> **Talia has a rope around his waist**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Honestly it was shittier than this when I was a kid running around here.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You came from Luna too?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> No, one of the other colonies. But I lived her for a while with my old man.
<Xanatos> (here)
<Seraphna> *Jaime peers around, having come unless the other Summoni needed her**
<Xanatos> <Xan> That was like...70 years ago, so a lot has changed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos used to tell me lots of stories of his younger days when I was a bitch
<DeathStar> *she looks around*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dad, you're not allowed to be old.
* Wisp has joined #TAW-Session429
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks around a bit.
<DeathStar> *adjusts her kimono, thinking, Erevis walks along the damaged Luna colony; thankfully they are in a terraformed area*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It feels a bit stale here
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm not old. I'm just weathered. There was a bunch of food stands like 2 blocks that way, good food and cheap too.
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers at her mother, then double takes** Did she just use the B-word?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... I think she did."
<DeathStar> *where Xanatos points, he points at Christina near some Lunar Cops, dealing with lunatic Smiling Sun supporters, spray painting Sunny's face on walls to honor her now that she's dead*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... did I do something strange? *She tilts her head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You're cursing again, you like, used to never do that.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I am a very bad influence. Hey don't we know here? 6* He says of Christina.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well it is true; I was one back then.
<Seraphna> **Jaime huffs** I refuse to believe that.
<Xanatos> <Xan> She was, and I was a selfish asshole. A perfect pairing!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Truly
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "This brings back memories, and complicated feelings..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I perfected the art of passive aggressiveness
<Seraphna> **Jaime flails** You are destroying my innocent view of my parents!
<Xanatos> <Xan> You're the one that keeps making up some idealic version of us. We've always been honest with you!
<DeathStar> *Erevis muses* It is good. You can become your own person then. *She looks around in thought*
<Seraphna> **Jaime puffs her cheeks**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So tell me. *to Sparkling* How do you think you can move Luna?
<Xanatos> <Xan> In the... 6* Checks watch* Year? I've been around, I've been honest with you. 6* He smiles
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are losing time again. It has been 6 years
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...what? No. Really? Noooo.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dad stop getting ollllld.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I think it's common to make up idealised versions of people..." *she pauses* "I..." *she's not quite willing to admit she has no plan*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I have a plan. We build giant ship thrusters and attack them to the moon....and then we turn IT into a spacecraft. It'll be awesome.
<DeathStar> *Gwen eyes them; the Smiling Sun people shove some cops and come running this way*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I was going to use magic, but..."
<DeathStar> *one stealing from an old lady*
<Sara> * Chris is in pursuit
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *suddenly notices, rushing after*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan moves to show how big the thrusters could be, elbowing out towards one of the running thugs.
<Xanatos> <Xan> THIS big
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm... well, the moon is essentially just a giant rock in space right?
<DeathStar> *Chris and Sparkling move toward each other head on and the three Smiling Suns pause; Xanatos elbows one and they fly and land hard*
<DeathStar> *The other two are tackled*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .. Alright then. *as she is saying this, someone that looks like Andrea is moving toward an area of the city heavily damaged.* Hm
<Sara> <Chris> Look, I will tolerate your free expression, but you CANNOT steal! *she says sternly to the thugs*
<Seraphna> **Jaime absently stomps her foot into the ground and rock hands grab at the tackled Suns and hold them**
<Xanatos> <Xan> ... 6* He looks around for a second, confused.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Stealing is wrong."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Uh, yeah. Don't steal.
<Alicia> * Sparkling seems frustrated by being unable to think of a cool speech in the moment.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC watches this all happen then looks at Sparky. 1"If you plan on moving the moon. Do you know where to push from and how far to push?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hello person we know by association, glad to have uh, helped. 6* He gives a thumbs up to Christina and then pauses as he also notices Andrea.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I wonder if Gnome can move this... think that would be TOO much?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I wish."
<DeathStar> *the Smiling Suns smile but nod at them all*
<Sara> * Chris slow blinks at Xan's wording as she is cuffing the thief
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Can Gnome affect gravity?
<DeathStar> *as if proprly lectured and listening - maybe it's the masks making them smile*
<Sara> <Chris> Unfortunately I have to take you in
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Wasn't Billy suppose to be in the Unknown Regions?
<Sara> <Chris> ...even though I'm just helping *she murmurs*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not directly... hmm.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I thought so, yeah. Maybe they just got back or something?
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns and peers at Chris* Hello, Officer Christina I believe
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Adler, correct
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'll... let the people with the speech prepared tell you why stealing is bad."
<Sara> <Chris> Alder. Like the tree.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My apologies. *She bows*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Is she a bad guy? Should I go after her?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Nah, but let's be creepy and follow her. 6* He walks off in the direction Andrea went.
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods and to Chris* We are trying to move the moon
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks with Xanatos* Can you fly? *to Sparkling*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Huh... I have been interested in introducing Nocturne to more Dark Ones.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC walks after Erevis and Xanatos
<Sara> <Chris> What a coincidence
<Seraphna> **Jaime heads after them, Talia leads Gwen after them with the rope**
<Sara> <Chris> We too are looking into moving the moon
<DeathStar> *Andrea seems to be searching the rubble and is throwing stuff without a care, debris flying around*
<Sara> * She seems unamused by this
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Do you know where the best place to push would be?"
<Sara> <Chris> I would say the orb-shaped part
<Sara> * Deadpan
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think she is being sarcastic
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Note her facial expression
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *stares at the ground* "You don't think I can do it, do you?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan leans forward and squints.
<Seraphna> *Jaime muses** Would it be nerdy to point out that Luna is an oblate spheroid?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<DeathStar> *Gwen is dragged along and makes whimpering sounds*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Nice. Obate Spheroid was my nickname is basic.
<DeathStar> *Erevis peers at Jaime* That was a joke
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I suppose I failed
<DeathStar> *Andrea begins to go down some uncovered stairs*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** Nah, I just realized I might actually be a nerd.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's fine. I've been called much worse."
<DeathStar> *Mélodie peers out from behind Sparkling*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Coo Coo. 6* He makes a bird sound and moves to approach the stairs.
<DeathStar> *holding a Giant Spear like she might attack*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *notices after a moment* "... how did you get here?"
<DeathStar> <Mélodie> Followed
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> What is she after? 6She follows close with Xan
<Xanatos> <Xan> Dunno, probably something personal and we're just wasting our time.
<DeathStar> *Andrea finds Marcus - who was buried under here and pokes him in his injuries; she lifts him up and peers at the others* Having fun?
<Xanatos> <Xan> AWW just Marcus? Told you we wasted our time.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Yes. It would appear so
<DeathStar> <Andrea> What brings you idiots to the Moon?
<DeathStar> *Andrea dangles Marcus and Cherry behind her*
<Xanatos> <Xan> This idiot wants to move it, so these idiots. 6* He motions to the rest. Decided to come watch.
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session429
<DeathStar> <Mélodie> *peers at SParkling* Wants to move moon?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oblate Spheroids are egg shaped... so... right! There's a spherical part on the other side from the point!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> To stop that whole... Earth flooding thing.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Right! If I can move the moon back into position, that'll fix everything!"
<Xanatos> <Xan> They okay? Also how was the unknown regions?
<Seraphna> **Jaime pokes Marcus** Is he alive? He looks like raw hamburger. ..Or does he always look like that?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Still out there - a religious order has them
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would be easier if she could fly
<Seraphna> Jaime> And you left them there?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Can she breathe in space?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I heard Marcus was buried alive and maybe dead, so I switched places with my other self that was here.
<DeathStar> *Andrea affectionately pats Marcus' head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ah... that works I suppose.
<Xanatos> <Xan> You can do that? Immpressive.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> She's old. She can take being crucified and dying
<Xanatos> <Xan> Uh...what?
<DeathStar> *Mélodie muses and vanishes; a few minutes passes and Mélodie returns and seems to have Sylph's power, touching Sparkling who can fly temporarily*
<Seraphna> Jaime> That... sounds really bad.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> What?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> That does not sound fun.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Our friends being crucified in deep space by religious nutters?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So, now I just have to find a good spot to push..."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'm sure they managed to talk the church down.
<DeathStar> *she smiles evilly* I mean they have Dias with them. I bet he totally did not piss them off
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods, knuckles clenched so hard they're white in the knuckles**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Actually, does it matter that much? Wait, yes it does, I have to move it in the right direction..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Please tell me they're okay...
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Fine. I'll go back. *she throws Marcus into Xan's arm*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Give the big lug my evil love
<DeathStar> *she moves off*
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....I don't want this....
<Seraphna> Jaime> S-Sure.
<Xanatos> <Xan> If they need help, let us know and we can be out there in a few years.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... *she eyes Marcus' disguise*
<Seraphna> **Jaime still looks deeply worried**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus has a real mullet and a real pencil thin mustache.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Okay
<DeathStar> *she turns to Sparkling* Do you know what you are doing?
<DeathStar> <Mélodie> Flight will only last a few minutes
<DeathStar> *she warns*
<DeathStar> <Mélodie> Better make it count
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I don't know if it'll work, but yes!"
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> A few minutes might not be enough for her to get in place.
<DeathStar> *Mélodie glares at SPoC*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Then tell me where I'm supposed to push to get the right direction!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *peers at Xanatos* Do you know?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> You would need to talk to someone who is an expert in that area.
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's...a bit beyond me.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Where am I supposed to find one in a few minutes?!"
<Seraphna> **Jennifer sighs** Hold on...
<DeathStar> *Jaime
<Seraphna> **Damn autocompletes**
<Seraphna> **Jaime pulls out her datapad and sends a message out to Love, seeing if she can use her knowhow to pinpoint them an impact point**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan meanwhile sits down and takes a bit of his blood and places it in a cut on both Marcus and Cherry, the nanobots in his blood would probably heal them, but it may take a while.
<DeathStar> *Mélodie meanwhile is huffing and acting like a child feeling insulted*
<Seraphna> Jaime> My niece is Momma Meg's protige, if anyone can cook up complicated astrophysics on the fly, it's her.
<DeathStar> *Love eventually gets back to them - but by the time she does and all that, Sparkling has 1 minute and 20 seconds left of flight*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sends the data over to Sparkling, pinpointing it for her with a stone marker she creates** Hit the nail!
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah this'll totally work.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... that is... sarcasm right?
<DeathStar> *she points at Chris*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Do it with... I dunno... the Moon's Justice?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan winks at Erevis
<Alicia> * Sparkling boosts into the air, gathering as much power as she can. "Take this, my dreams and all of my resolution!" And then, she launches an impressively powerful blast at the point, but... nowhere near impressively powerful enough to actually move the moon noticably. She keeps trying though!
<DeathStar> *the moon shakes hard*
<Seraphna> Jaime> D-Did that actually work?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I think I heard a crack
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> WHAT?!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I thought she just planned to push it.
<Sara> <Chris> If you have a deity of choice you better talk to them now and beg
<Sara> * She notes with some unease
<Seraphna> Jaime> Umm, Momma? Save us?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... I'm trying to push! Is this too focused?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You expect me to psionically push a moon I am on? Maybe if I had my old body
<Seraphna> Jaime> She said if I had a diety of choice to talk to them.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Okay I just thought she would smash the ground, not destroy the fucking moon!
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Apparently this Maka, while well intended, is not very bright.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is very strong
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It might work though
<Alicia> * Sparkling tries widening the beam, to see if that helps it push better without breaking things.
<DeathStar> (see #taw for a second)
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Right, Left, Left, Right, Down, Up, Down, Up, Left, Right, Up

<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> *the moon actually -- moves this time without cracking or anything*
<DeathStar> *there is some shaking of buildings due to moving a moon but it moves*
<DeathStar> *right where it should be*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I... think she just saved the world.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....well fuck me, I think it's time to retire.
<DeathStar> *Sparkling would see that the moon for some reason does not want to seem to want to stay. But it looks like the moon will stay for at least the time being. Something has happened to make the moon's orbit a little wrongish, but that's a problem for someone else*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I have given up on believing in logic when I'm around everyone here
<Sara> <Chris> We're all getting too old for this shit
<DeathStar> *she's bought them time*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *foams at the mouth*
<Alicia> * Sparkling floats down. "...that was good enough, right?"
<Seraphna> **Talia sighs and sits on Gwen**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Yes. Somehow... yes
<DeathStar> *She seems in disbelief*
<Seraphna> Jaime> That was pretty cool.
<Alicia> * Sparkling flashes a victory sign.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Are we sure I'm too old to be a Maka?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *to Xanatos* Are relics of the past?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Melodie! We did it!"
<DeathStar> *Melodie looks up from pouting and smiles*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I've got a nice patina on my old bronze ass.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. *she muses* I used to be the top of the class. Now I am old.. It is weird to consider
<Alicia> * Sparkling hugs Melodie tightly, crying tears of joy.
<DeathStar> *Mélodie blinks and hugs her back*
<DeathStar> <Mélodie> Sad?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "No, the opposite, this is the best thing I've ever felt."
<DeathStar> <Mélodie> Yay!
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Team Spirit
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer arrives at the Academy
<Seraphna> **Jennifer peers around, locating Ellie. "I believe I was needed for a Spirit Experiment?"
<Sara> <Ellie> We are looking for a way to help the elder spirits co-exist with the existing spirits, and we believe that since Celsius and Shiva can co-exist, we should study them
<DeathStar> <Selena> *Studies Jennifer*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> That sort of makes sense.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Should I call the sisters now?
<Sara> <Ellie> Yeah
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Do you need us to prepare a site for the location?"
<Jackieness> experiment
<Sara> <Ellie> Hopefully anywhere should do
<Xanatos> <Simon> You are bound to both?
<Seraphna> **Jennifer nods, fixing a long doctor's coat, a bit older now, but showing signs of pregnancy currently. She calls the sisters. "Oh girls, mind coming here~?"
<Ariel> * Nicolette has her tome open to take notes... this is relevant to her thesis after all.
<Seraphna> Jaime> More like they decided to share me.
<DeathStar> *Celsius and Shiva appear - the two Ice Spirits look the same, being twins and the room chills down a lot*
<Sara> <Ellie> Lady Celsius, Lady Shiva, it is good to see you
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows his head in greeting
<DeathStar> *Celsius and Shiva smiles and waves at them*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer smiles softly** The Summoni here would like to discuss how you share your mantle.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats. 1"Temperature has dropped significantly. I will monitor everyones core temperature in case hypothermia kicks in."
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Hello. *Celsius explores the manor curiously; Celsius hugs Liana while Shiva gives Ellie a hug*
<Sara> <Ellie> Yes, we were wondering if you'd be willing to help us do some research into your ability to co-exist as twin spirits. *she gives a soft smile at Shiva*
<Ariel> * Nicolette conjures a small flame to keep her ink from cooling.
<Sara> <Ellie> Perhaps, er, even a small few experiments
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Share our mantle? *they blink and the room goes back to normal*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *lets out a breath of relief as it does*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Supposedly only one spirit can be a Prime Spirit. Yet you are both the Ice Spirit at once.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We promise not to do anything that causes you harm or discomfort."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> This suggests that the first is not true.
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Hm. <Shiva> I think they want to cut us up
<Sara> <Ellie> Indeed, all of the spirits are precious to me. I won't let any of this hurt you. But if we could get to the root, it could be very beneficial to other spirits in suffering.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer rolls her eyes** There's fresh ice treats in my freeze for you two.
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Hm. <Shiva> Well if you recall the Magi forced us into existence while in the Spirit Realm while doing their experiments. *She makes a face, peering at Celsius*
<Seraphna> *freezer
<ChadWinters> 6Id, if he had a face, would be frowning at Ellie
<DeathStar> <Shiva> Celsius still has memory gaps of that time.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Does that mean there is some way in the Spirit Realm to split the mantle?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Memory gaps?"
<DeathStar> <Shiva> Hm, I don't know and all the Magi who did it are long dead. But if you want to examine us okay
<DeathStar> *they lay on the table*
<Ariel> * Nicolette puts her pen down and reaches out with her senses, trying to determine if the twins are bound to each other.
<DeathStar> *it seems they indeed share their power. There is not split; their strength is tied. Their mana is tied. Likely if one overused it it would affect the other*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon begins to form runes of magick in the air as he creates a spell to analyze the cores of each spirit.
<Sara> * Ellie stands by as safety while she watches Simon work
<Seraphna> **Alita steps up, peering over them curiously, using her mana sight to look it over more**
<Seraphna> Alita> For once, I think the fact that I was a Magus before a Summoni might actually come in use.
<DeathStar> *as for the cores, they have one Core and Shiva has something akin to a core, but it's tied to Celsius' core. Or is Celsius' core the back up core and Shiva's core the main. Either way one is not a true core*
<DeathStar> *or maybe one is just there to help the other spirit function*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *shivers a bit at the implications*
<Seraphna> Alita> A bonded Mana Link... a secondary core to the main... and shared spirit energy. The latter likely the product of both of the former.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmmm... what do we know about these spirit cores?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Certainly a unique situation.
<Xanatos> <Simon> We know very little.
<Sara> <Ellie> It sounds like the reason this was possible may have been related to the Spirit Realm, still.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Magi Experiments within the spirit realm...yes I believe you're right.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I just know Spirit Cores are the core of their being. I think Spirit Cores take a lot of time to come into existence with those crystals we saw in the Spirit Realm
<DeathStar> *Sylph muses in thought*
<Sara> <Ellie> I think it's clear that we need to find the Spirit Realm.
<Seraphna> Alita> And find a means to tie their Mana veins... though all the spirits already have cores... perhaps there might be a way to attune them to one another?
<ChadWinters> <Id> So what this may come down to, is that we need access to the Spirit Realm to proceed further
<DeathStar> <Celes> I just would hate the idea of their Spirit cores being used for something. If someone attacked a spirit and took them
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmm...do the ship spirits have similar spirit cores?"
<Sara> <Ellie> According to what I've learned from Chelsea, they do.
<ChadWinters> <Id> How many Spirits have been attacked for their cores before?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Just how they were born was different
<DeathStar> <Selena> Something like eggs
<DeathStar> <Celes> I would have to look into the history books
<DeathStar> <Celes> For that
<DeathStar> <<Celes> I don't think many know they have cores
<DeathStar> <Celes> Their spirit core I think is just their essense of being. Like their pure mana in a core
<Xanatos> <Simon> Either way the cores between these two are complimentary. One if primary and one is secondary. Two primary wind cores may not adapt or link together gracefully. That's my primary concern with that approach.
<DeathStar> <Celes> All that spirit energy
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes that is how I understood it. The coals of a fire are an analogue.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Or one could siphon or send corrupted spirit energy through the link
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hm. Well
<DeathStar> <Selena> IF we could learn how the magi did it, Simon
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Still, the key here seems to be the cross-linked cores, so we should focus on that."
<Seraphna> Alita> Mmm, and we know that a spirit can remove their core and have it reinserted...
<DeathStar> <Selena> Could we not give them a secondary core
<Sara> <Ellie> Still, it feels like we have a bit more information, and another lead to follow
<Seraphna> Alita> Perhaps one core was replaced with a complimenting core?
<DeathStar> <Selena> And link it to our Spirit
<Xanatos> <Simon> If you replace the core, do you replace the spirit?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It feels a lot like... grafting a tree."
<Seraphna> Alita> I believe it is more of a... power source. Like the heart in most living beings.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I don't know
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Yeah... modern medicine has shown you can replace a heart and the person stays the same... though I can't say the same for spirits without some study.
<DeathStar> <Celes> From what I was told, our spirits used their cores to open the doors to the Spirit Realm chambers
<DeathStar> <Celes> And were fading away
<DeathStar> <Celes> That is how Chronos was found
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe they are ike batteries or capacitors."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Yes... Cookie revived her and the Magma Spirit, correct?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. I always wondered about Spirits like Magma and Infero; the secondary spirits
<Seraphna> Jennifer> A pity she's away, we could ask her if she used new cores or old ones to awaken them.
<DeathStar> <Celes> *muses* I think what little information I found on them they were not original spirits like the main ones
<Xanatos> <Simon> I was there for that, it was some type of machine I believe.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...though truthfully my memories of that time are hazy. Much has happened since then.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Built by the Ancients?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Probably or Magi or someone. I think they were man-made
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes
<DeathStar> <Celes> Using two elements
<Xanatos> <Simon> The location was specifically meant to lock the two spirits up in a form of stasis.
<Xanatos> <Simon> The doors required cores to open, I believe Sylph and...Celsius? were the two that allowed us to do that.
<DeathStar> *Celsius nods*
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Was not fun
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Bleh
<Xanatos> <Simon> But yes, the device used to revive them was ancient, from that mystery time frame where so much memory was lost. We just didn't realize it at the time.
<DeathStar> *Celes jots notes* So we are going to try to find the Spirit Realm still.
<DeathStar> *She looks up* That is our main goal?
<Sara> <Ellie> It seems so.
<Sara> <Ellie> Thank you both for submitting to our request so patiently.
<DeathStar> *Selena turns to Nicolette* How much do you know about the Spirit Realm?
<Xanatos> <Simon> It is the first step in a series of goals, yes.
<Sara> * Ellie nods to Simon
<DeathStar> *Shiva and Celsius smile and sit, watching now*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Healing the corruption from the spirits is another, but that is also perhaps tied to the spirit realm.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Not a lot... I didn't have the prerequisits for that class."
<DeathStar> *Celes moves to mark things on the map - the Daemon Realm, the Spiritalist Kingdom, and the Magi Tower*
<Sara> <Ellie> With my luck, Vyvy will have found it without us. *she half-jokes*
<Ariel> * Nicolette feels like she should have been allowed to take it anyways
<DeathStar> <Selena> The Spirit Realm is where the Spirits used to live - it's where they restore their power and can make new spirits
<DeathStar> <Selena> But it was lost when the Mirror Universe was destroyed
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe we should see if the Kumenites still ahve the notes on the artificial spirit cores they constructe. That might give us some data points."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Assuming they use cores.
<Sara> <Ellie> if anyone has that data anymore it would be Ymir or Riki
<Sara> <Ellie> ...Right?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Those spirits after all were rushed
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...was that not simply spirit fossils?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon squints as he tries to remember.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But what about the the original ship spirits?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> No. For a while Corporations tried to mimic Tora's Ship Spirits
<DeathStar> <Celes> By having Spirits help with Kumen's reconstruction. But they rushed the creation process and the spirits' lifespans were short. Vyvy gave them an earful
<Sara> <Ellie> That's horrible
<DeathStar> <Selena> Mireille, Aimee, and the rest took years and years before Tora had them awaken from the spirit eggs. It's why Kumen had that crisis
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...maybe a lack of a spirit core is why they didn't wokr out. Perhaps it helps to stabilize them."
<Xanatos> <Simon> You may be right. 6* He nods to Lana
<DeathStar> <Selena> IF you want to know how she did it we should find Tora
<DeathStar> <Selena> Ymir knows a little, but Tora probably has the original designs
<DeathStar> *she nods in thought*
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...she is alive?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Is she dead?
<Sara> <Ellie> If she is, then that's unfortunate
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Then Tora-bound we are... ... ...wait, dead?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> We can hire Asarar to look into it
<Sara> <Ellie> But either way, our #1 priority for the time being is to find the Spirit Realm, and investigating this is something we can have done along the way
<Sara> * She nods, as if she were in charge
<DeathStar> *Celes smiles* You heard Ellie
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Yay. Ellie is boss!
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I'm sorry I lived another life while most of you were in stasis. It has...complicated my memories of those times.
<DeathStar> *Celes hands Nicolette documents* To catch yourself up
<Jackieness> <Lana> *just stares at Simon*
<DeathStar> *Selena to Lana* Old people
<Jackieness> <Lana> "..yeah..."
<DeathStar> <Celes> This covers the Spirit Rea--- *at that moment, the door busts in and Sparkling Justice*
<DeathStar> *the two Makas have finally met*
<Alicia> <Sparkling Justice> "I'm back!"
<Sara> * Ellie jerks in a dramatic shocked anime pose
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *blinks*
<Ariel> * Nicolette almost drops her pen
<Alicia> * She seems tired but exhilarated, as if coming back from some grand adventure.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I am obsolete
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...uh?"
<DeathStar> *she walks past everyone*
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I am not old. 6* He huffs and turns his back to everyone.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I wasn't sure if I could handle things for a while, but... I had to, and I did."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> She moved the moon
<Xanatos> <Xan> This idiot punched the fucking moon and it actually worked so some of us are a little sour by it!
<ChadWinters> 6Id turns to look at Sparkling. 1"....And how much damage did she cause?"
<Sara> * Ellie ... looks between Sparkling and the remains of the door
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm sorry I keep calling you an idiot but I'm just mad.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Oh yes
<DeathStar> <Celes> Nicolette, *she motions* "Sparkling" here is your Maka teacher
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *waves*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I need a beer. 6* He walks off with a huff.
<Ariel> * Nicolette doubletakes, then fumbles into a bow, "N-Nice to meet you. I'm Nicolette."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I need Sake...
<Xanatos> 6* Simon retreats to the corner to study on a book.
<DeathStar> *she walks off*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...moved... the moon?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> She did it. *weeps* All my stats are useless
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm Sparkling Justice. You... didn't give yourself a new name?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "....what the hell?"
<Sara> * Ellie collects the broken door fragments
<DeathStar> *Sylph helps Ellie*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Thanks for believing in me, everyone!"
<ChadWinters> <Id> I believe I need to make sure my programming doesn't have any errors in it. 6The ball floats off
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I... uh... I have a stage name? Sabrina didn't mention anything about changing names..."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oh.. maybe that's just me then. All the magical girls I grew up with had secret names, so..."
<DeathStar> *Celes looks around at the meeting room being empty*
<Sara> * Ellie waves
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... huh...
<Seraphna> **Talia comforts Gwen** There there, come help me with stuff at home.
<DeathStar> <*Gwen follows Talia and Lana off, sniffling about putting his talents in the wrong places and now his life is wrong*
<DeathStar> -Final Scene-
<DeathStar> Location: Luna
<DeathStar> 6* Thanks to all the destruction, a secret base has been uncovered. No doubt a Ninth Circle and V.I base, if you can go by the faded wording
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping out of the base are two figures. They look around, their body parts human, though it's clear they have partially cloned and enhanced with nanomachines due to extreme damage*
<DeathStar> *Kane and Ceilidh looks around the landscape and then move off into the night*
