<DeathStar> Date: 10-640.11.2
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
* Xanatos` has joined #TAW-Session433
<DeathStar> 6* It has been some time since the last session, clearly, as you can tell by the date. Taiga has spent the past two weeks retrieving Kellin, and during the period the EarthGov ship is in worse shape doing that long of a distance jump, showing damage all over. Also, since returning, she has begun to work with others on the Aquarius to apply upgrades to the ship to prepare it for the Dark Ones, now that they know how to protect against future attacks. During this period, Yuki has begun to become more of the Captain of the ship. (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* During the jump, Kyouki has moved to Geyze to spend time with the other Spirits and hung out with Erevis and that team, Andrea has begun to train those with Dark One powers, including Reikana, Kaelan, and so on, as if preparing something, and Dias has returned to Earth to try to save his presidency from an unexpected threat - the return of the original Kane and Ceil. But we don't care about Dias right now. Oh and Fate has resumed training him, too. (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* With all this time off, the team has simply resumed their studies and tried to catch up on their school work they have been missing and just... relaxing.
<DeathStar> *Thomas walks around the PAX, still learning everything that is on the ship*
<DeathStar> *Rachael eyes some papers, doing what courses she had on the PAX before going to Geyze to do her real course work*
<Seraphna> **Truth accompanies him... also learning.**
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I think I'm officially going to fail, even after Lorelei explained why we were gone for so long.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan is staring at a mountain of possible courses looking lost**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well at least we get to make up any tests missed
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And get one on one lessons
* kalonZombie has joined #TAW-Session433
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, I'm not terribly behind. Thye cna be flexible."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I don’t even know what to do. I don’t suppose they have courses in deep space aliens, fighting Dark Ones and jury rigging alien technology?
<DeathStar> *Rachael peers at Kaelan, having figured she'd have picked a course over the past month she was here*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I took the easy stuff and fashion courses but I need more... **she explains**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Fashion courses?"
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...I took 7 classes...half are on geyze...and work a job...and fight fake gods in other people's bodies...I'm SO over it all. No wonder I'm going to die alone.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan jerks and blushes**
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Just take throw away classes if need be
<DeathStar> *Sabrina is listening, sitting off and doing something - it looks like drawing*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Or don't take any at all. I never had any formal schooling and you guys turned out great.
<DeathStar> *Rachael and Sabrina slowly turn to stare*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You didn’t learn anything!?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt seems to be picking at something in his teeth with a tooth pick, making it hard to tell if he's lieing or not
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Mr. Durt should go to school. I will tell Miss Lorelei to send you to elementary
<Seraphna> Sia> We know more than Durt!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...Durt... we're socially awkward basketcases who could barely function once we got into normal society!"
<Seraphna> Lia> We’re on charge now!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I mean, look at how my brother acts
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So is pretty much every teenager out there.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And you were in charge of his education
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And Leruste has run away I think
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Can't win 'em all. 6He shrugs.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Good idea! Valen, what’s your best course?
<DeathStar> *Rachael holds up a note that was sped written, the letters so badly written she still is not sure what is written*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I'm offended right now, but I can't figure out a good response. 6* He tilts his head. "Best course?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yep.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I don't know what that means.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt takes the note, eyeing it over. 1"Even in writing he can't slow down."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Maybe he ran so fast, he entered another dimension. A speed dimension
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That is dumb.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's dumb.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina hangs her head*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Everyone knows speed is a force, not a dimension."
<Seraphna> **Thena appears** You can all take special lessons with Professor Thena, Attorney At Law!
<DeathStar> *Rachael peers at Michiru* Oh hey. That Hotaru kid
<Xanatos`> <Valen> After all the weird shit we've seen, I bet you're right Sabrina.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina brightens*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Hey."
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Don't believe what he says about our education. It was tougher than what you guys have been dealing with. 6She gives Durt a look as she shakes her head at him
<DeathStar> *Rio stands by Thena, wearing glasses and holding a lawyer briefcase*
<Seraphna> Thena> This is my sexy law secretary, Assistant First Class Rio.
<DeathStar> *on Katrina's bar's Holovid. it talks about EarthGov discussing Kane and Ceildah trying to get Kane to become President, citing Kane's claim to the Presidency, and wanting to be elected next term and how that works and the laws*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *whisper* "...they are being weird again."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *Deadpan* When are they NOT being weird?
<Alicia> * The bartender blinks, then mutters something about "First Dias' moonpunch, now this..."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I did say formal education. 6He notes to Cel then glances at Thena. 1"Hey, it's the Swiss Army knife Thena."
<DeathStar> *Thomas walks into the bar and looks around, Truth following him*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> This place is quite large.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena cannot help being a multitalented Princess.
<Alicia> * Celeste follows Thomas in. She wants to see the PAX, and now seems a good time to.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's the proper attitude!
<DeathStar> *a voice calls out from the bar* Thena should learn to act more like a princess
<Alicia> <Bartender> "Oof."
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks and looks around**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Ruh roh. Someone's about to get a scolding.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hah!"
<DeathStar> *Lenneth is at the bar, drinking something heavy*
<Seraphna> Thena> A-Auntie Len Len!
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *peers at Thena, holding her drink* With all your antics, you could put that energy into doing something more serious. And I quite know you have it in you
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Who's that?
<DeathStar> *Lenneth peers back at her drink, as if the drink held the secrets of the universe*
<Seraphna> **Thena pouts** Thena saved universe! That's pretty serious no?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *whispers* "...she sure took the credit."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *the raven haired woman turns to face Thena, her famfrit ears under her hair twitching slightly and she gives a Xanatos look - flat* ho. Everyone in here who has saved or helped save the universe, raise your hands
<Seraphna> **Thena raises her hand, as does three other Thenas**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt leans over to Moira. "Some people like to have the ego's constantly stroked. 6He whispers back to her
<Alicia> * The bartender raises a hand.
<DeathStar> *Katrina shrugs and lifts it*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt and Cel do.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Did what we did count?"
<Alicia> * Michiru obviously wants to lift her hand, but doesn't.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think we could. Whole tree thing. *lifts it*
<Seraphna> **Thena reels and collapses into herself till one is left** Auntie so cruel. **sniffles**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan and Truth have raised their hands**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Am I the only one who hasn't...? I gotta step up my game!"
<Jackieness> <Moira> *raise a hand*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Of course you kids do. And if you wanna use Thena logic, every time you take down a false god, you're doing it
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I haven't saved the universe yet either..."
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena Logic is the most sound and well reasoned there is...
<Seraphna> **Thena looks thoughtful**
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The point is, Thena, if you plan to try to take my spot, act the part at least. *She downs the drink and walks past her and pats her head - hard.* Not that I plan to give it up when I'm done doing what I'm doing
<DeathStar> *she walks out*
<Seraphna> **Thena huffs, Jaime meeting her right outside and hooking an arm in hers** Almost ready to head out again sis?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Jaime. *she eyes her with a Megumish look now* You aren't getting it either. And soon. *she walks along the PAX*
<DeathStar> *Rio pats Thena's head* Um, should I still hand out the cards?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...wait was that another Erevis kid who's super hung up on RULING THE PAX?
<DeathStar> *Rio holds up Thena cards*
<Seraphna> **Thena nods**
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That is Lenneth - the true Empress of the Suisen Empire
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You kids should know that
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm working hard and you know it. **she muses, walking with her**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Thena just got schooled."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "It's almost like Erevis' kids are all strange." *looks innocent, as if making a secret joke*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Ah I don't care about who's ruling what or who's the true whatever.
<DeathStar> *Rio hands out cards to everyone*
<DeathStar> *Katrina shrugs*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's because they are. I have a theory that it's the Hyperspace in their blood.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt takes card, eyeing it and shrugs, opening it up
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen eyes his card.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I know I'd be more honest in her position, though."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What's this?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, Lenneth was the one who ran the orphanage program that gave us a home. So yeah I know who she is.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> OH THAT'S WHY SHE LOOKED FAMILIAR. Man, bummer she's so down then.
<Seraphna> **Thena huffs softly** Thena prefers to joke around and play when not in serious times...
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I know, I'm just teasing."
<Seraphna> **Thena tilts her head** And Jaime is sorta related to both Michiru and Katrina. **She notes**
<DeathStar> *the card has Thena's name - Attorney at Law*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt rolls his eyes and tosses it on the table
<Seraphna> **Thena gasps**
<Seraphna> Thena> So cruel.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Thena, I can tell what she said bothered you so I will be genuine with you. 6* He tosses the card aside. "You're smart enough to know that your whole thing works for you. If it didn't you wouldn't be here, so all I saw was someone that was bitter and blaming anyone and everyone for the bad shit that happened to them. You do you, and maybe help her out if you can.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth pats Jaime's head and seems amused* So how are you
<Seraphna> Jaime> Pretty good, I'm learning a lot in my study to become more Goddess like.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "What's so great about ruling the PAX, anyway? Seems like a lot of responsibility."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Not my interest
<DeathStar> *Rachael eyes her nails* Unless you want to use it to control the universe or some shit
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Allure of power and being imporant. 6He shrugs. "I prefer keeping the impression I make more subtle
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...how can she be a lawyer already?"
<Seraphna> **Thena sighs, her tone going serious a moment** It is, I grew up watching my grandparents and parents all be great people, and I just want to carry on that legacy. Ruling the Suisen Empire means being in charge of protecting everyone.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... *studies Thena, wondering if that is what Lenneth meant by acting more like a Princess*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt smirks a bit as a thought comes across his brain. 1"How interesting would it be if all the kids had to fight each other to become the next ruler."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "That'd be terrible."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's likely
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Leadership isn't a matter of force."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And Durt is beign a terible person again." *stands up*
<DeathStar> *Thomas muses*
<Seraphna> **Thena smiles** Part of that though is carrying on Momma Athena's message to love and be happy. Kitty Love Power used to be very big on the station.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, I guess only one person can decide that, right?
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I'd just give Rachael rulership over whatever if we were in the same situation. I'm not cut out to be a leader.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I see you're tapping into your heritage.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Good for you. I'm proud of you
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What? I mean what if more than one decided to take claim of the 'throne'?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I don't want to be leader... but... I guess if I had to be, I would..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and blushes a bit** Turns out I have a lot more control than I thought. Plus there's what Dad gave me.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth waves her hand* That's not dad's legacy. But if you want to pursue hat
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Who takes the throne shouldn't be a matter of power, though!"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> So be it
<DeathStar> *Thomas studies Celeste, wondering if she ever paid attention to such matters before*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** I know it's not... but real power comes in embracing what you have and using it for the better of all, right?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm going to go shopping or something." *stretches*
<Seraphna> Truth> Mmm... an Empress would make a powerful weilder. If they can follow my rules.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> It cool if I tag along?
<Alicia> * Celeste hasn't studied succession, and is speaking from her heart, though she does expect that sometimes, the throne is taken by force.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What? You really want to come with?"
<DeathStar> <*Thomas hands Celeste a book on history of such things*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *puts her hands on her hips* Look. IF you want to use that power, go ahead. I think that power is a bad idea and it's going to end badly for you. Also, dad hated that thing
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> You can ask him or mom
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well your mom
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks thoughtful.** I'll be careful with it. And talk to them.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Yeah, sure. I need a break from this paper.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... what kind of power is this?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... shit
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We're suppose to be studying
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Argh
<Jackieness> <Moira> "come on then..." *heads out the door*
<DeathStar> *Rachael grabs her stuff and heads out*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-640.11.4
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* A few days later, Rachael finishes classes on Geyze and steps out, the weather much colder these days now
<Seraphna> **Thena is here, wearing glasses. Because this is how we signify a strayed clone Thena. She stretches and fixes a warm dress.**
<DeathStar> (no Thena here)
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Well how did it go? 6* He's standing there in a coat, his stuff ended a bit earlier.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Okay. *she seems to be staring out at the school, looking distant* You?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan steps away from a training grounds, having chosen some no-thought physical courses to cover her gaps**
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Think I'm okay, only just barely. I was up to 4am working on that last paper on runes and honestly why do we have to use real paper here.
<Alicia> <Asha> *waves and heads over* "Welcome back, you guys!"
<Seraphna> **Alita steps out from the classroom, looking over some students** Because technology is unreliable here, Valen.
<DeathStar> *Rachael waves at Asha*
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen grumbles and then gives a big yawn, barely waving at Asha through it.
<DeathStar> *Sylph runs by, traiing Kyouki*
<DeathStar> *training
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I see Kyouki has abandoned us for this place
<Alicia> <Asha> "Have you met the new Dark Spirit yet?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> New Dark Spirit?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Oh, you know her anyway. She's new here, at least."
<Seraphna> **Jaime can be seen making a big Fox statue**
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Oh I thought someone was replacing Shade. Who I now know because of schooling. 6* He gives a dramatic wink
<Alicia> <Asha> "Good work!"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina steps out of class, holding some papers - at this point having not met this planet's Maka, I realize*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> You're right. Courses on this world is more interesting
<Xanatos`> <Valen> You enjoyed it? Nice. I thought this was more your style.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina hops out and lands by Valen and Rachael*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Yes!
<Alicia> <Asha> "I didn't expect magic classes to be so interesting."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You should try courses on PAX. It's boring.
<Xanatos`> 6* Xan saws on a piece of wood out in the yard, several other pieces already cut and leaned up against a pallet.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Nothing but sitting in a small room
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> In my class they had us use our magic on a dummy
<Seraphna> **Kaelan adjusts her kimono** I do admit, I love moving around again.
<DeathStar> *Sudako travels with Kaelan, peering around paranoid - having become paranoid since almost dying*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps tails around her**
<Xanatos`> <Valen> PAX classes are all STEM focused. Science, Maths, Engineering, and....wait what does the T stand for?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Technology?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Technology?
<DeathStar> *they reach the teleporters. Sabrina is peering out curiously* <Sabrina> Odd. I thought I felt two Makas on this planet...
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...oh crap it is. WELL I missed that question on the general exam.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Oh, the new one is kinda... weird."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> There's another Maka? *she glees and runs off to find her. Rachael watches her go, then waves at Asha.* Well, you should come up to the PAX sometime. *she warps up to it*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Yeah we've got like...robots that do stuff for us. 6* He holds up a piece sign as he warps. Bix marches by on guard patrol.
<Xanatos`> (peace)
<Alicia> <Asha> "Like Bix?"
<Xanatos`> 6* Bix pauses and waves, then marches on.
<DeathStar> *arriving on the ship, Taiga walks past those who warped up, covered in dirt and grime and grumbling about the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ....##$#$#$#
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ...
<Xanatos`> <Valen> My virgin ears!
<DeathStar> *Taiga turns slowly and stands on her tip toes to peer into his eyes*
<DeathStar> *well, tries to*
<DeathStar> *and fails*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What was that!?
<Seraphna> **Si looms above her and eyes him in a terrifying way**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think you said a new curse word he never heard before. <Taiga> Oh
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ... 6* He eyes Si and backs away.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *looks confused* Geeze, what is wrong with you? *she begins to turn, not knowing Si is there*
<Seraphna> **Si goes back to normal and looks away like she did nothing**
<DeathStar> *Taiga bumps into Si* Oof
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *harumps and continues onto her room*
<Seraphna> Si> Oh hi! **she follows her** Fuuuuu!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... that was... weird
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Why was Si being so creepy?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So... absolutely normal for us?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How often do you think Si stalks her quietly without her knowing
<DeathStar> *Rachael pats Valen protectively*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm, I couldn't know what that's like. **she says, unironically**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *is in a taining room currently*
<DeathStar> *Sudako quietly follows Kaelan*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I have one last assignment to turn in tomorrow even though we took our exams up here yesterday...I wonder if i'll be able to get it done tonight.
<DeathStar> *peering around and making sure that bloodlust isn't there*
<Alicia> * Asha heads in shortly after, curiously eyeing the robots and other technology. She's not as 'What's this' as she used to be, but she's obviously still new to tech.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Ask for an extension if needbe. I have been
<Seraphna> **Kaelan puts an arm around Su's waist** Mmm, I think I'm gonna have a soak in the baths.
<DeathStar> *Rachael nods and as they walk down the hallways, Lorelei, Lemon, and oddly Lenneth are talking at Katrina's*
<DeathStar> *Adeline is there, with Ren too, listening in on the side*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Something up? 6* He asks after they approach
<ChadWinters> 6Durt sits in the corner, a mug of beer in his hand and his feet up in the table
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Ren peer up, then casually sip their drink; the three L's peer up* <Lorelei> Valen. How did you do on your test?
<Seraphna> **Cookie sits down by Adeline and stretches with a yawn**
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Wellllll, I think I passed...
<DeathStar> *Lorelei hands Valen a cookie. Then Asha, Rachael, and the others*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Good job, Val. 6He hoists his beer towards him
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *walks into Katrina's* "Hey."
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia hold up top marks**
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen takes the cookie and the beer even though it wasn't being offered.
<Seraphna> Lia> We are...
<Seraphna> Sia> The Best!
<DeathStar> *Reikana would find a hand patting her head - Andrea* Tonight we're training some more. *she notes to her. Andrea moves to sit on a seat and lean back*
<DeathStar> *Sia and Lia get more cookies*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Right. OK."
<Alicia> * Asha munches her cookie happily
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We simply discussing the Earth election thing. <Lorelei> Boring subjects. <Lenneth> Among other stuff
<Seraphna> Sia> Yay!
<Seraphna> Lia> And with our Lemonade Empire we can do lots!
<ChadWinters> 6Durt makes a confused face at that, actually taking a moment before it registers and he lets out a hearty response. 1"Bold, Val. Bold!"
<DeathStar> *Rachael sits down and orders some food*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Also, I was being informed about the God on Geyze
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *sis down and orders food and a shake*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And learning more about that
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia sit in Rachael's lap to get food**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Any ideas on how you're going to want to handle that? 6He looks over at Lore as he orders another mug of beer
<Alicia> * Celeste is suddenly paying a lot more attention, as is Asha.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Trust me, I need this. I have to write a song for my music final. 6* He pauses and eyes Lorelei "Wait, we were just there, I didn't sense anything."
<Alicia> <Asha> "You didn't know about that?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It seems to be on an island. And controlling a lot of monsters.
<Seraphna> **Jaime steps in, dirt on her face, and flops in a chair to join in**
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...I could ask for an extension if we want to go now.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We could probably go in and take her out this moment. But the monsters going on a rampage is the problem. It's why I haven't done much
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> If I had control of the PAX we could take the island out. *She sighs*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Sounds like there's some important relics on that island. Destroying it would be a bad idea.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Eh. I suppose.
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** Yeah... that might actually cause problems on a temporal level.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *steps into Katrina's after a while* "Woooo... oh, hye, you guys are back."
<Alicia> * Celeste seems about to speak up, but is cut off by Asha saying "As long as they're not causing trouble, it's fine?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei glances at Asha*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If you care about that. Me, meh. The Geyze people. Probably so
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Do you really think that will be the case for long?
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm not sure, but I don't think we should strike first."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei studies her, then glances at the others* Well, the person from Geyze believes we should wait. Do you all agree?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's her planet
<DeathStar> *she eats her food
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> You should respect the natives
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Definitely stay alert, though."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth doesn't state she agrees though*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Apparelty there's a god on geyze. They're trying to figure out how to approach it. 6* He tells Moira, eating his cookie and finishing Durt's beer.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I don't. But I'd like to meet this False God first. Have you and kids get a god feel on her and her intents
<Alicia> <Asha> "Right. It's a delicate situation."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Autumn seems up to something, we don't know exactly what... but... she also didn't really put up a huge fight either.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Our own backyard. crazy." *sits with Valen and rachael*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> That seems fair. A group of us can meet with this God. And those with training or classes can remain here
<ChadWinters> <Durt> From what I've heard. She's...6He motions to Jaime. "That and there's a time table. "
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Didn't put up a fight? 100% they're up to something.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> It does sound suspicious but didn't Dusk not fight, either?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Right. If we can't find a solution soon... there's going to be a fight either way."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's because Val here tamed her heart.
<DeathStar> *Lemon glances at Valen*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You're a good boy
<Seraphna> Thena> Garterah will come for her power eventually either way.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "hah!"
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Err....then she dumped me.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Did she dump you, or did you ... stop calling her and assume she dumped you
<DeathStar> *Rachael points out*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And I'll be blunt about this, if we feel a need to take her out. We can go directly to the Daemons *He sounds unsure if he's saying it right* and use them to get to her
<Seraphna> Thena> *hums to herself innocently*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ... 6* He slowly looks to Rachael
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Just saying. Just remember to be more proactive with Moira
<Alicia> * Celeste stays quiet, musing over this. This sounds like a bad situation either way.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I mean...I was gone in space and she stopped texting...
<Seraphna> Thena> Waiiiit. Are Valen and Moira dating!?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina busts in* There's another Maka named Sparkling Justice and she is neat
<DeathStar> *Adeline speaks up * You know...*to Valen*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *facepalms*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Odd, Justice is my Grandmother's name.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> What if she assumes you're busy and assumes you two are still dating
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *amused tone* And then you start dating Moira.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hilarious
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Anger the God
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ....no that's not hilarious!
<Seraphna> Thena> I have to tell Valen's ex Goddess all about this! **gets out her datapad**
<Alicia> * Michiru, Asha and Celeste all look over at Adeline and then Valen. "Awwwwkward."
<Xanatos`> <Valen> THENA I WILL RIP YOUR FACE OFF
<ChadWinters> <Durt> God drama! 6He points a finger at Adeline. 1"Man that would be a great life lesson for you Val
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...we...we're not dating!"
<Seraphna> **Thena is texting something**
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen tackles for Thena
<Alicia> * Michiru's tone is teasing, while Asha's is understanding and Celeste's is more "...that's bad."
<Seraphna> **Thena squeaks and teleports to the counter.. then texts more**
<DeathStar> *Adeline watches the chaos begin*
<Seraphna> Thena> Now he's after me too!
<DeathStar> *Adeline chuckles evilly*
<Alicia> * Michiru watches, pauses, then pulls out a datapad and starts texting.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Seriously SERIOUSLY stop. I'm going to go call her so just stop! STOPPP
<Seraphna> **Jaime giggles and orders a glass of water**
<Seraphna> Thena> **takes a picture of Valen**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Don't worry about it Val. She doesn't have the nerve to do it.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> DON'T TEMPT HER. 6* He tackles again
<Xanatos`> (for Thena)
<DeathStar> *Rachael pats Moira*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Valen will one day see you for you
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm not. Because doing something that isn't closely what a Royal who wants to take over the PAX would do.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...whatev."
<Seraphna> **Thena appears on Durt's shoulders and texts more**
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ... 6* He slowly pushes himself up having dove behind the bar and sighs.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Valen, you know the more you try
<ChadWinters> 6Durt and the chair collapse from Thena's suddenly mass since he was leaning back on it
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The more she will act up
<Xanatos`> <Valen> 1. I told her how I felt. Balls in her court. 6* He says to Rachael. "2. I'm going to go make a call. 6* He hops over the counter and stomps out.
<Seraphna> **Thena hops over and sits by Rachael, showing her the actual texts**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *After he is gone* Are we sure Dusk is even alright?
<Seraphna> Thena> I warned her to get out of dodge last time I was there and it apparently changed her Fate. But I don't know for sure.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt sighs as he holds his new beer up right to keep it from spilling. 1"Lore, whens the last time you've talked to her?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It has been a while. Let me see.
<Alicia> * Michiru seems almost disappointed that no-one reacted to her texting.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina pats Michiru*
<Seraphna> **Jaime leans over to peek at Michiru's datapad**
<Alicia> * Michiru was texting her mother.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt sighs as he get's up and grabs a new chair
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think I last talked to her a little while after Kaelan was taken
<Alicia> <Asha> "You should keep in touch."
<Seraphna> Thena> I've seen her since, at the club, but that was still a fair while ago.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I was hanging with Vesper last spring break."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, if Val can't get a hold of her. He and I can go check in on her.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And I saw her a little bit after Moira.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Might be a good idea then
<Alicia> <Asha> "Definitely."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods* For now, lets split into those teams
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Island
<DeathStar> *while Andrea trains the Dark Ones, Lorelei leads the team to the Island, along with any Geyze people who are interested in checking up on the Autumn*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei looks around at all the monsters*
<DeathStar> *many of them massive in size and looking at the team like lunch*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ...
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> I've seen a lot in my time...but this is different.
<DeathStar> *covers herself from one of the monsters with lots of wiggly bits that look like they could grab you* Ew
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Charming vacation spot."
<Seraphna> **Jaime and a plant monster seem to give each other knowing nods**
<DeathStar> *A slime girl moves along, leading them to the cave* <Slime Princess> Wait. Here. *Her voice sounds bubbly. Sabrina has brought Sparkling Justice, just to hang out with the Maka
<Seraphna> Michelle> Some are cute in a weird way. Wouldn't wanna build a summer 'ome here, but yah know.
<DeathStar> <Slime Princess> Monster...Lord...has to...get...ready...
<Alicia> * Asha seems quite comfortable in the area, while Michiru is less confident. Not nervous, just uncertain.
<DeathStar> *she waits, the slime monster looking like a girl made of slime. After a bit, as if getting a message in her, she begins to lead them into the cave. Down a tunnel. Monsters are all over the cave down the path past the gems*
<ChadWinters> 6Id, a round sphere, floats about, studying the group slightly and also the monsters
<ChadWinters> 6Durt walks along with the kids, his eyes constantly taking in his surroundings, a slight defensive posture on him
<DeathStar> *reaching the bottom, they seem the monsters have been working on the equipment, trying to learn how it works, but not getting far. The strange spirit portal has stuff hooked up to it, and getting readings. There is also a makeshift bedroom in the corner, and something seems to be in it - a drape hiding something. Standing in the room is a weak looking woman, the comatose patient that was arranged for Autumn to take over. She stands to face them, a pale woman with long blonde hair*
<DeathStar> <Autumn> ... *their god pinging going off from her*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *holds onto Justice's hand*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...she doesn't look too good."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hello Autumn.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I wondered when you would come for me.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt studies Lore and the kids seeing their reactions a bit before focusing on Autumn
<Alicia> * Michiru looks over at Jaime, wondering what she missed
<DeathStar> *Autumn spreads her hands; in this body, she truly does not seem to appear very strong*
<DeathStar> *hard to believe the monsters follow her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I wouldn't jump to conclusions yet Autumn. They wanted to meet you first.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. <Rachael> I'm shocked she agreed to take this body
<ChadWinters> <Id> Perhaps we should let them do the talking Jaime.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...anyone ask the owner for permission though?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> The body was thought to be deceased.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "...the comatose owner?"
<ChadWinters> 6Id notes to Moira
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I was told I could use this body.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Is there going to be a problem... again?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "If you can, then sure... but..."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei seems content to let the kids or others talk for now, just studying and getting a reading off of her. The monsters all seem to be eyeing them if they do anything*
<Xanatos`> 6* Kellin shifts towards the drape, trying to see who's behind it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Her presence slowly helps the body heal, in the end when she has what she wants the coma patient may just have the benefit of waking up when she previously wouldn't. We chose someone with no relatives or other baggage.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Just saying..." *shrugs*
<DeathStar> *a monster growls at Kellin and blocks him*
<Xanatos`> 6* Kellin slides back towards the group.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I do not wish to fight you all
<DeathStar> <Autumn> So, God Hunters, what do you want?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Why are we here again?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> To guage if she is a threat.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> To get a feel of you. See which side of the specturm you fall on.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I am no threat. I
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I am just giving monsters a home and working with them. *she smiles*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You'll have to understand our reluctance to believe that. You aren't the first god we've come across now.
<Xanatos`> 6* Kellin doesn't have a mark, so no god pinging for him, but he does have hypersense and that allows him to sense all energy within 30ft and how it fluctuates. He eyes the portal, then the drape'd area, and then autumn.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> And all of them are dead. You can see my desire to avoid that
<Seraphna> Michelle> Y'know it wasn't us that took em all right?
<ChadWinters> 6Id also seems to be scanning the room, checking for a life source behind the drape and also take comparison pictures and readings of the portal
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We're probably not at the top of your worries."
<Alicia> * Asha scans the room, with her eyes and her feelings
<DeathStar> <Autumn> *lets out a tired sigh and sits, peering at them* Again. What can I do to make you comfortable with me
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses, and peers at the team*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I am not sure I trust her enough to be an ally, but I suppose attacking her would be ill advised
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> Tell us what you know about the remaining gods.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> They're kind of that way because they went a little bit to heavy on the evil side. 6He shrugs.
<DeathStar> *Autumn muses* I am not sure who all is alive, to be honest. But if you give me their names, I will tell you what I remember of them.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods slowly* A list can be prepared
<DeathStar> *Lorelei hands a paper after a moment and Autumn studies it*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You have a datapad that we can talk to you on? If you're a noble as you want us to believe, if another god decides to come after you, we can provide you a heads up.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I can try to get one. This island hates technology. If it wasn't for shields that the glasses man put up it wouldn't work
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Amazo. I can tell you about him. He is a God who loves fighting. And battle
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> We should tell Dias about him.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> You will likely find him with a race or a place or person with such things.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Unless Dias is secretly Amazo."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Eck
<ChadWinters> 6Durt thinks for a moment then eyes Id. "I'm billing Chad for a new one." 6He pulls his pad out and begins working on it, and after a moment he holds out his datapad, everything on it having been wiped clean from one of Chad's protocols
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Angulus. He is into religion and worship.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I would look for him in a place like that.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Hmmm..."
<DeathStar> *angelus
<Seraphna> Michelle> Feckin' knew it.
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> Ha, so he was who you all felt with the Templar.
<DeathStar> *Autumn takes it*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...either he was the pope guy or he was the evil adviser."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Makes sense. 6He notes to Kellin
<Seraphna> Michelle> Angela was sure he seemed familiar too.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Solitice, the Goddess of Heroes, and Phoen, I have no idea where they might be.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei takes notes*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Of heroes...? Are they one of the good ones then?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> She took over Lenneth's granddaugther
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So kinda?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Anyone can have their ideals perverted so it's hard to say
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "But... but... heroes!"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, hopefully she's a good guy? *shrugs*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Lets hope it's the case
<DeathStar> *Lorelei turns to go*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We'll keep an eye on you
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Sorry kid. The real worlds not all gum drops and unicorns
<Alicia> <Asha> "Keep out of trouble, okay?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... *hangs head and turns to Sparkling, mouthing that they will help her*
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> Here's all I'm concerned about, but I don't speak for everyone. You've surrounded yourself with a lot of power that you control and innocent people have died because of your actions. That's usually enough for us to take action. But you've been working with the people here to prove you just want to make your own way. So I say as long as you keep that up, we should be fine. 6
<Xanatos`> 6*He considers. Sorry if we're being loud, is your friend in there going to be able to sleep through all of us?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wonder what it feels like to have one jump in you... tingly or what?"
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's because the world isn't all gum drops and unicorns that we need heroes, though."
<DeathStar> *Autumn studies Kellin, then speaks softly* They'll be fine. Thank you for your concern. *Lorelei studies Kellin, then Autumn*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses a bit, tilting her head**
<DeathStar> <Autumn> *rises and motions at the Slime Princess* Please escort them to the surface - safely. They are our guests
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's some pretty faulty round logic.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> But, believe what you need to.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Do you even know what a hero is?"
<Xanatos`> 6* Kellin reaches into his coat and pull out two packages for instant tea, offering it out.
<ChadWinters> 6Id spins a bit.
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> Thank you for being civil. 6* He turns to leave afterward.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Don't worry so much, Durt is just... well..."
<DeathStar> *as the others head out, Autumn takes it quietly, then curtseys* Thank you
<DeathStar> *as they reach the surface and to the teleporters* <Lorelei> What was that about?
<Alicia> * Michiru tries to sneak a glance behind the curtain as she leaves
<Seraphna> **Jaime heads out and muses to herself over what she saw**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm guessing I missed something and Kellin hit some sensitive spot
<ChadWinters> <Id> I would like to note that I do not believe that Autumn is telling the truth about what's behind that drape.
<Seraphna> Jaime> When we first met her on this island, she made a lot of effort to touch many of us girls who had power.
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's possible she's making her own body.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... Well. I suppose our "alliance" will be short lived then
<Alicia> <Asha> "So... did we actually get back the body she was using?"
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> There was a body behind the drape. I couldn't tell if it was alive or dead.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That would require technology.
<ChadWinters> <Id> It was currently dead, Kellin.
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> I was just trying to poke
<Seraphna> Jaime> It doesn't require technology, actually.
<Seraphna> Jaime> On this world, there are quite a few beings who were made with Mana and Magic.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> She gave back Shinobu's sister's body
<ChadWinters> <Id> My scans showed no life signs or energy signatures.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What? Like molest you?"
<Alicia> <Asha> "Then for now, we're fine." <Michiru> "For now."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Just touches, seemed casual, but that's all I need to copy people's powers so...
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So she is planning to make a body and put life into it, or is she inhabitting the lifeless body and giving life to it that way
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If that's the case, then Lore's right. We should prepare for the worst.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Hmmm. I would conjecture that she would become the spark that gives the body life.
<Xanatos`> <Kellin> Yeah I didn't sense any energy, either. That machine was off too. I left the tea so she'd think it was a bug of some kind. 6* He seems amused at himself.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well, you two discovered something big. Good job. *she offers cookies to Kellin and polish to Id*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And, depending on how smart she is. We have a datapad in her hands. 6He winks at Lore
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods in thought at that*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I gave her a datapad last time.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets hope she keeps this one
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<ChadWinters> <Id> I do not need a reward for doing my job
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Andrea charges with dark energy, showing Reikana and the others how to hold onto the dark power of their Dark One nature*
<Alicia> * Celeste watches, from what she hopes is a hidden vantage point.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Remember, this power is sometimes considered corruptive, evil, chaotic.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> But if you can control it, make it yours. You can use it to do anything.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> The problem is it will drain your body fast unless you have a lot of reserves
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "mmm-hmmm..."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods, taking a deep breath**
<DeathStar> *Andrea appears behind Reikana and Kaelan,sitting on a sheld*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias stands off to the side, his suit on still as he rests his hands on his head.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Tell me. How do you think I do certain moves like this
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Making the darkness your own and shaping it how you please?
<Xanatos`> 6* Marcus stands by Dias, drinking from a slushie.
<DeathStar> *Andrea gives Marcus a smile, studying him all over, especially since he's not undercover right now. Cherry huffs at this lesson*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yeah, I've overexerted myself before."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well, that is one thing. But. *she appears behind Marcus and leans around him* Shadows. I travel through shadows. Shadows of people I know. The closer to the person, the better I can move.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> If you can learn this technique, you can incorporate this into attacks. Or travel in people's shadows
<Xanatos`> 6* Marcus offers out a drink.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> It took me a bit to figure that out myself. Remember when I tried to punch my shadow to stop you?
<DeathStar> *Andrea tkaes the drink, then makes a face at that comment*
<DeathStar> *while they are talking, the team is arriving from their mission; during this, Valen seems to have yet to get a response from Dusk; Rachael peers at them training still*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks** I think... this one is actually not a hard concept for me. It's not too far from Foxholes...
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "you punch anything that moves."
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen is moping.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Yes, you should be able to grasp it easier. *she slips int othe shadows and grapples Reikana from behind, then leaps into a shadow in the wall with her, dangling her from the ceiling*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> True. But I had good reason. My timing was off
<DeathStar> <Andrea> See what you can do if you can learn this? *she then gathers dark energy in her hand and hardens the shadows into a blast, against her head, then drops them*
<DeathStar> *Catching her gently*
<Xanatos`> <Marcus> Your style's different from this, wonder what you could teach them after she's done. 6* He says to Cherry.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Man, Marcus, you remember when I had this bad ass form when we first got our sweet powers?
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Yes. I'm more of a berserker. But
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yeeeesh... I'd complain, but mom did the same thing for my Sweet Sixteen."
<DeathStar> <Cherry> This is interesting. *She watches, trying to finese some things*
<Xanatos`> <Marcus> Actually, your berseker and Dias' first thing weren't all that different. I think he had more control though.
<Alicia> * Celeste continues to observe, silently, still not trusting the dark ones 100%, but finding no better way to get a handle on them that... doing her "job" and spying
<ChadWinters> <Dias> It felt second nature. 6He shrugs
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Many of us branch off with our moves. You just need to keep practicing your dark nature and channel it. I'll keep sparring
<Xanatos`> <Marcus> Heh, you're like the dark one version of me with my wolf shit.
<DeathStar> *As everyone gathers, Lorelei walks over to everyone and puts ah and on Valen and Durt*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We got a problem
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It should just take a moment.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Problem? 6* He looks worried.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias peers at Lore.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Dusk isn't responsing to anyone
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So we're going to have a teleporter take us. Any volunteers
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I was worried about that possibility.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm going."
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ...yeah me too.
<DeathStar> *Andrea muses* Hm. I haven't been there
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So I'll keep training here
<Alicia> * Celeste pauses, considering tagging along, but unsure how to do so without spilling that she's been watching the dark ones
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena will go!
<DeathStar> *Andrea punches her fist into her hands, looking more energic with Marcus around; Cherry eyes her, perhaps annoyed. Andrea just gives a dark grin*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias sniffs the air a bit then eyes Cherry and Andrea, grinning himself slightly
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, try not to hurt the ship
<ChadWinters> <Dias> No promises!
<DeathStar> -Final Scene 1-
<DeathStar> Location: Jarivan
<DeathStar> 6* Arriving at the vacation planet, they are soon walking along the sunny resort planet*
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces along in a bikini with a see through skirt and dress top over it**
<DeathStar> *arriving at Vesper's giant building, it seems intact*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *immediartely heads for vesper's club*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Everything seems fine. *they walk up and into the club where the snotty man is always located*
<Seraphna> **Thena waves** Hello!
<DeathStar> <Snotty Man> ... *eyes them, sniffing* You
<Seraphna> **Thena twirls** Me!
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen looks around nervously as he moves, his face covered in guilt.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We are here to see Vesper."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I haven't seen any reports about her so that's good atleast
<DeathStar> <Man> Vesper is not here. *sniffs*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's why we came here. We haven't been able to get a hold of her
<DeathStar> <Man> But I suppose your life long credits are still in effect.
<Alicia> * Celeste is tagging along, and was *so* not suspicious with her just *happening* to be around when volunteers were asked for
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Not here? Where is she then?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Where Vesper gone? Not answering Thena's adorable text messages.
<DeathStar> <Man> Someone else is running the club now. They said she turned the club over to them
<DeathStar> *he
<Xanatos`> <Valen> Who?
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks** Who is that?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Answers. Now."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Val, feel out for a god
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen does so
<DeathStar> *Lorelei frowns as the snotty man tells that a new club owner, with some strange Jarivan like name, like Francis, took over and claimed he bought half the club and Vesper sends reports every few months and he sends the checks; also no God pings*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I hope this Francis didn't steal the club
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I hope she is just laying low..."
<Seraphna> Thena> Maybe she followed my advice.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm more worried about Dusk's location then this club
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Maybe Francis has information?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Is there any way we can see where these reports are coming from?
<ChadWinters> *To the man*
<DeathStar> *the snotty man rings up Francis, who after a bit agrees to see them. In a TAW spinning logo flash, they are in a guady office. It tkaes them a while to realize it was once Vesper's it has changed so much*
<DeathStar> *it is so bright and ugly looking*
<Xanatos`> <Valen> ....
<DeathStar> *Francis is a man with blonde hair slicked back and glasses, and it is hard to imagine he bought the club*
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks, listening to the man’s thoughts**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... <Rachael> ..
<Alicia> <Celeste> ...
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Francis right?
<DeathStar> *the man seems to be definitely hiding something*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I don't care how you get this club from the previous owner. What we wanna know though, is where she's at.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm Moira... one of Veesper's friends."
<Seraphna> Thena> Can we skip the part where we go back and forth and you just spill what you don’t want us to know?
<Alicia> * Michiru eyes Durt, master of subtlety
<DeathStar> *Francis blinks* Uh, I bought it. See? *he hands her the transfer notes and pauses - it is clear it's all bogus and eyes them* Uh... w-who are you people?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes them all then sighs. 1"Really? This is pretty bad. Like bad bad."
<Seraphna> Thena> Vesper’s friends.
<Xanatos`> <Valen> We've been out in space for a while and when we got back she wasn't returning our calls or messages. We're worried.
<Alicia> * Celeste just goes along with things, since she can't add anything to this conversation right now.
<Seraphna> **Thena forms an orb of Hyperspace in her hand** Vesper’s good friends.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *holds up a hand* "Lay off a second and stop giving him the mob-style shakedown."
<DeathStar> *over the next 30 minutes, to wrap this up and end the session, they learn that Dusk was attacked, not Vesper, but since they are one and the same, but someone - likely Gartareh, but the it was shadowy and ht didn't see who or what they looked like. Long hair? Maybe. Yeah. Super tall? No. Did she survive? Maybe. It looked like Dusk got away and stumbled, but it might have been Vesper after Dusk was ripped way. Anyway, he knew about the club and went to her house and did somethings. Long story short*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So Dusk or Vesper might be memory damaged like that one woman
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Or on the run
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Or worse
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Need to find her."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt rubs his face for a bit then looks at Val then Lore. 1"If you want, I can stay here and do what I can to try and track her movements after the attack."
<Xanatos`> <Valen> I'm going to her place, maybe she left a clue.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Please.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets just hope Dusk is still in her and she'd gone underground
<Xanatos`> 6* Valen runs out
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *doesn't want to say if Dusk is out of her what that means for Vesper*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'll grease what palms I need to get the video feeds. 6he nods to Lore and moves after Valen. 1"Becareful Val."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Sorry I can't be more help here..."
<Jackieness> <Moira> W"ait up, Valen!" *heads after him*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *after Valen is gone* If Dusk was ripped out, it means Vesper might have memory loss and dying. So becareful
<Alicia> * Celeste heads after Valen
<DeathStar> *The team heads out, leaving Francis staring after them and sitting down* <Francis> Man, outoftowners
<DeathStar> -END-
* ChadWinters has left #TAW-Session433
