<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session442
<DeathStar> *The final few days of finals. Snow is coming down hard now. Not quite on par with the snowy kingdom but it feels like it. Rachael comes out of her class and stretches, in a better mood with the classes here*
<DeathStar> *Selena sips her drink in the mansion, finishing some things with tutors as they exit to leave before the weather gets worse; Celes nods to them as the tutors leaves and Selena finally relaxes some*
<Seraphna> **Jaime seems to be building the world's biggest snow monster around a mud base**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen steps out of his class and pulls out his datapad to check the time, looking stressed.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps a cloak around her kimono as she steps out of class**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm going to go relax. They usually have some time between these magik classes unlike on the PAX *she tells Valen*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> They have a hot springs here, Rach.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I doubt I have that much time. I'm just going to find a warm place and relax. *she waves and moves to go when the sky lights up*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah I need my other class to hurry up so I can get back up to the PAX.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well. You could just teleport up there I guess. *she says slowly, watching the lights in the snowy skies*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shrugs** Library maybe? Or do we just crash one of the old folks homes?
<Ariel> * Nicolette has her face buried in a pile of books. Even if everything is canceled today, term papers don't wait. Damn advanced classes.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina glances at Nicolette* Looking forward to winter break?
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'll just call Jen again and make sure she's okay. 6* He steps off to the side to do that.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *looks up* "Huh? Oh... break. Yeah, it'll be nice. I have some reading to catch up on."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *is, on the other hand, in the hot springs*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina nods and lets Nicollete work. She walks over to the window and watches as the Aquarius lands outside the Academy*
<DeathStar> *Cypher leans out of Chelsea's workshop* Huh
<Sara> <Chelsea> I'd recognize that engine sound anywhere. *she says without looking outside*
<Alicia> * Asha reads and rereads a passage in a book of magic, trying to comprehend the deeper meaning.
<Seraphna> **Thena appears on top of the ship and makes peace signs**
<ChadWinters> 6Id stops floating along and turns, watching the ship land
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Looks like they're finally back. In the end it is Erica's ship. So nothing says she can't help us out at the same time.
<Stretch`cell> *A pair of large dragons seem to have flown through "escorting" the Aquarius during its landing, with it on the ground they turn and head towards the Southwest*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Well, it is their choice to make, after all.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Your ship could have handled it. *She rubs Chelsea, hovering around her a lot more lately since Chelsea's incident*
<DeathStar> *Lumi can be seen helping Erica and Yuki to their homes on Geyze when they do stay, talking to them about something. Mireille trudging along and Aimée eyes Mireille, giving her a look and playing with her giant hammer*
<Alicia> * Sparkling Justice has been rushing through books on magic like a kid overindulging in chocolate, but the moment she hears the ship landing, she throws her books down and runs to watch the ship land.
<DeathStar> *it seems Mireille's boasts of being the fastest ship in the galaxy has not gone unheard*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Oh dear. Our little one looks antsy.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We might should keep them seperated? *Aimée and Mélodie inch out the door into the snow to stalk Mireille*
<Sara> <Chelsea> That may prove difficult
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Hmmmm..." *sips some cherry liquer*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What's going on?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime slides through the snow to join the others, fixing a Geyze style overcoat**
<DeathStar> <Celes> *turns to Sparkling* That is the Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Celes> That ship will help us into getting into the Mirror Universe when the time comes. Tora is working on it with Simon and Lana
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is it usually accompanied by dragons?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I don't believe so
<Seraphna> **Anyata yawns a bit and sets down a pile of books** Is that what all the excitement is about?
<Seraphna> **Alita, wow
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps out of one of the class buildings and approaches the Aquarius.
<DeathStar> *suddenly Mireille vanishes into the snow behind Erica and Yuki*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Well. Try to get some rest. I have some other things to take care of. Today is an important day and I need to handle things
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper walks down the ramp, feels the cold and immediately turns to go back up into the warmth of the ship.
<Sara> * Liana points. "Didn't they have a spirit with them a moment ago?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> *steps out of the mansion, carrying some notes with her*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I think they did. *peers out the window*
<Seraphna> **Cookie peeks out, then at Pepper** I think we have winter stuff?
<DeathStar> *a snow trail comedically can be seen behind them all the way behind Chelsea's workshop, as something is dragged - thud style*
<DeathStar> *thug
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Something is afoot!"
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Too cold! Not worth it!
<DeathStar> <Selena> *finishes her tea* I think we should stay out of it.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *scribble scribble scribble*
<Seraphna> Cookie> I guess that means we have no choice but to cuddle up in the room and get high.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...if you think that's best. We're still going off to the Mirror Universe though, aren't we?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Not right away. After the incident with Chelsea, I think it will take time to perfect it.
<DeathStar> <Celes> But in a month or so, yes
<Jackieness> <Lana> "simon, I am ready to get to work!"
<ChadWinters> 6Id moves back to floating along the grounds
<DeathStar> *after Erica and Yuki are situated, Lumi walks into the manor, looking apologetic to Nicolette as she sits down. Gwen walks in a few minutes later*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So, after exams. That works out great!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> That is the plan
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Dope!
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I am sorry to bother you, but can I call an impromptu meeting.
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods** Yes, Dope is what we will be on.
<Sara> <Liana> What's wrong?
<Xanatos> 6* SImon nods to Lana, then glances around to see they're not immediately leaving and moves to the mansion to wait for everyone to be ready.
<Seraphna> **Talia hops off Gwen's shoulder and onto the table, turning into a girl** Talia is here for meeting... Impromptually!
<Seraphna> **Alita sits back with her glass**
<DeathStar> *Lumi muses, leaning back, the small framed girl musing as her ears twitch.* It might not be anything, but I've been keeping an eye on things lately and it feels like things are ... well
<DeathStar> *Lumi thinks how to phrase it*
<Seraphna> *Jaime steps in and pulls her bare feet out of the boots she uses in the snow, then walks over to the others**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... is it me, or do they not seem to be taking things seriously?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> *trudges back in with Simon*
<ChadWinters> 6Id moves to follow people inside
<DeathStar> <Lumi> *she sets out a few things on the table* It might just be the end of year stuff. But I will lay out what is concerning me.
<DeathStar> *after Chelsea arrives, since she thinks Chelsea might be interested in hearing this* <Lumi> First, tonight Ylva will be come President's, which isn't a problem in itself. Don't get me wrong. But the dynamic of Kumen will change.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm confident in my ability! I'm going to ace all the magic classes!"
<Sara> * Chelsea looks a bit uncomfortable
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *perks up* "Kumen? Changing?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> It isn't uncommon between leadership changes.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> She is polling well and Riki just seems to be ... being beat bad. I think people were happy with how Riki changed things but maybe she changed things too much? Or what
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... did Riki campaign hard for another term?
<DeathStar> *Lumi nods to Nicolette* Yes. *She brings up a picture of Ylva* She is the sister of the Macross leader Ymir who runs most of the Corporations on Kumen
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Not overly hard I think.
<Sara> * Chelsea finds herself subconsciously flashing back to what she saw
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sometimes it's the energy of the leader, if they grow tired or don't fight an election it can easily go towards the opponent. People sense when a leader isn't actually into leading.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is something wrong?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Things have improved so much... I hope they don't backtrack."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Is that perhaps what is also happening with Mr. Dias on earth?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Good point
<Seraphna> Jaime> Considering he vanished for months just as a political opponent appeared... yeah, that was damaging.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Coupled with the uncertainty of his having been replaced for part of his term.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I also heard he just punches all the problems
<ChadWinters> <Id> I believe that Stacey spun it as him going to meet with the Templars
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Anyway, Ylva and Ymir making a power couple is appealing to some Kumen I think
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Since Ymir has been investing a lot of money to help Kumen
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So, is he a good president? Mr. Dias, I mean."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Riki has been relying on Ymir a lot for most of her projects
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I mean, our armor and weapons come from her Corporation
<DeathStar> *Erevis listens, stepping in from the back room*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan walks out behind her, whistling.
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around, realizing that Id and Lumi are the only other Earth people present, her parents not there.** It does help Ylva's case. Though it really does put Kumen back in the hands of the Corporations... **She nods to her mother as she appears, then her father**
<DeathStar> <Lumi> The second thing
<ChadWinters> <Id> I am curious as to why her winning Kumen is a concern.
<Xanatos> <Simon> The corporations are a shadow of what they used to be, correct? Perhaps everything will be alright.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Like I said, it's not. I just lead with that. *she holds up her hand*
<Alicia> * Kyouki listens from the doorway, in sprite form, glancing at Xan as he passes by.
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...It's probably the concern of how absolute power corrupts absolutely, and they will absolutely have it
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Unless you think Ymir and Ylva can't be trusted. But my concern is the other Kingdoms
<DeathStar> <Celes> What? Why? *she asks, since she is Queen of one*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It might be the end of the year stuff, or Kumen changing regimes, but the Alliance members have been acting oddly
<DeathStar> <Lumi> You know I sit in and lead the Alliance after Shion. Each Kingdom leader is represented. Kumen's leader. And Sasha.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Maybe it's an evil plot."
<ChadWinters> <Id> And how are they acting differently?
<Seraphna> Jaime> All or some? Celes seems left out of the loop at least. And I imagine we can easily check on Qui or she'd let us know if she saw anything weird?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Why are the kingdoms always testy about something?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> But lately it feels like something I can't put my foot on. *shakes her head* Shinobu is the same as always, but a few of the other Kingdoms are beginning to act a little hostile toward each other and I can't figure out why. They are accusing each other of stuff, grievances and broken promises. Or stolen items. The Naturalist against the Legion. The Amazons against the Legion. The Spiralist against the Ents. And so on.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It is slowly getting to the point little being accomplished. Right now it is petty things.
<Sara> <Liana> Ordinary human emotions sadly get in the way of peace often
<Seraphna> Jaime> Could someone be working to destablize them?
<ChadWinters> <Id> I wonder if this is because of that False God that resides on the now Monster Island.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Oh. And one other thing. *she slides something across - a picture*
<Xanatos> <Simon> We have been focusing on our pressing tasks so we have not been able to continue to foster peace as we were before...
<DeathStar> <Celes> It is concerning...
<DeathStar> *Gwen leans over. It is a picture of something not too far from the Academy. It looks to be something Earth made and blown up.*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> We found this and destroyed.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps inside* "I didn't realize you had called a conference... I was taking some 'me' time."
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers at it** What was it?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It is no problem.
<Xanatos> <Xan> That tech is familiar at least.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats over the picture, scanning the object and running it against known earth tech to try and match something up
<Xanatos> 6* Xan squints.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Should I go out there and check it out?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> We're not quite sure. Inside was a lot of equipment and informtion. Whoever was in it had equipment on studying people and gathering info to send out to someone*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Someone knew where to target it and try to kill who was in it.
<Sara> <Liana> Well that's suspicious and then some.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So one person was spying and another person knew where to find and kill the spy?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sounds like the plot of a novel.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a brow* "Someone has sent a spy or assassin to the vicinity of my academy?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> That is odd in itself.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I'm not sure I like the idea of someone plopping someone near us to monitor things.
<DeathStar> *Lumi leans back and holds up her hand to her ear* Well, it looks like Ylva has been won the election
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I should go prepare stuff. *She moves out*
<ChadWinters> <Id> This seems like a inefficient way to spy on someone.
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns a bit, musing**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Someone should warn chad that his spy shit was destroyed.
<DeathStar> *Erevis peers at it* Hm
<ChadWinters> 6Id flickers a bit. 1"According to my records. He does not have something like that."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I mean, that's a possibility, but isn't Id like right here?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We kind of already know he's spying.
<Xanatos> <Xan> You genuinely believe he keeps your records updated?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Poor naive ball. 6* He pats Id.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I remember... Jennifer told me that when they took out the Outlaws in the Great Wood, they were doing something similar, had notes on the rulers, myself and Gnome.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well. Let us assume it is not his spy "shit" then.
<DeathStar> *she smiles at Id, and puts the picture in her cleavage*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We could ask one of the old guard brains if they can identify the make of that thing?
<ChadWinters> 6Id spins in Xan's hand/pat to face him. 1"I have access to a wealth of knowledge. Naive is not the word I would use.
<ChadWinters> <Id> But thank you for your concern.
<DeathStar> *at that moment, Cuddles steps through the door*
<DeathStar> *snow on her head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Cuddles
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Is this where you magik users hang out? By the way. Two Spirit kids have another Spirit kid tied up outside.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> And are making a snow man out of her
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...umm..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> I...there are some of us that can use magik.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm, I’ll let Erica know.
<DeathStar> *Cypher whistles*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...I can handle this." *steps outside and give the pair the look*
<Alicia> * Sparkling follows Sasha
<Seraphna> Alita> I am a Magi and a Summoner, how can we help?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Witch, right here."
<ChadWinters> <Id> I imagine we should have a meeting with the leaders to see how we can help. 6He turns to look at Simon
<DeathStar> *Mireille is tied up and is now a snow man, wiggling* I am the fastest! <Aimée> Take that back! *her sister nods*
<DeathStar> <Aimée> We are! *She adds more snow* <Mireille> *she does a muffled no*
<Sara> <Chelsea> I have no idea what you could mean *she says innocently*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> My Clo is an innocent girl who would never do that.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem! Release her this instant."
* Stretch`cell has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Sathen has joined #TAW-Session442
<Xanatos> <Simon> We can meet witht he leaders, yes. Perhaps determine the cause for their concerns.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> There's someone who has a lot of medical problems who needs surgery to fix it but your magik can speed it up. But I think we might need more - the nanomachines found in two people on Earth
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> So I could use some back up on getting those nanomachines. Anyone want to help me?
<DeathStar> *the two peer at Sasha* <Aimée> She won't admit we're faster
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well as your aunt I suppose I should.
<Xanatos> <Xan> You can't make your own nanomachines?
<DeathStar> *<Mélodie> *nods*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Why should she? Did you have a fair race?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> These nanomachines are different than what we currently use.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I can assist with healing magiks. But Alita is superior in that area.
<Seraphna> Alita> I can aid you in healing, that is my speciality.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> These seem to be a special type. I mean, like these are something we haven't seen before to bring back the dead
<DeathStar> <Mélodie> She refuses to race us. Make her race us
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I already know I'm the best. Why should I.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I see. So if, like, someone here had nanomachines inside of them you're not interested in that.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Mom told me I am
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "That does seem the best way to adjucate. Unless you're scared you'll be beaten."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Got something to tell us Dad?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Well. Can I kill you and see if your nanomachined can bring you back to life from the ground up?
<DeathStar> *Cuddles muses*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Interesting that they want to make a move on those two already.
<DeathStar> *she studies Xanatos in interest*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Cuddles, no killing your grandpa.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *deadpans*
<Xanatos> <Xan> You can try, I'm very good at surviving.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> What? If he can be brought back to life, he can live forever
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *wandering over* "I can understand the sentiment, but... no."
<DeathStar> *Cuddles gives an Athena surprised look*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "See? Its soemthing her mother figure told her, so let her have her moment to shine. In the meantime, you cna train to become even faster."
<DeathStar> *the two growl and knock Mireille free.* <Mireille> Besides, not allowed to use ship without permission. *she runs off and waves*
<Seraphna> Jaime> She’s Momma Meg with a Medical Degree.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... I had a feeling it was like that."
<DeathStar> *Cuddles jabs Xanatos with a needle without a warning to take a look at it*
<DeathStar> <Aimee> She is scared! *huffs* We'd win!
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ow! If you have questions ask Kane. He put them in me.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Well, Kane is who we want to go after
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> *She moves off, studying them*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Alright, now I'm interested."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "You two should have your own ships upgraded to beat her ship."
<DeathStar> <Aimee> We can beat her already
<Seraphna> Jaime> Kane Kane it Possible Venerator Kane?
<DeathStar> <Melodie> We are faster than her
<Xanatos> <Xan> Wait, going after Kane? Is the other person lemon? 6* He follows Cuddles
<DeathStar> <Aimee> She just won't race her
<DeathStar> *us
<Seraphna> it = or
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows Cuddles**
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> What? No. Kane and Lemon are on standby to help us get Kane
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "But the word is she had her ship upgraded, so you should too... just to keep it fair."
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats along. "You clearly have not been paying attention to Earths Presidency Race
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Wow, that's not confusing at all."
<Seraphna> Jaime> So Robo-Kane.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is a confusing grandchild
<DeathStar> <Aimee> Hah. We do not need to ugprade to beat her. Momma Chelsea's designs are better
<DeathStar> *she nods and the two move off, proud*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "They should race."
<Sara> * Chelsea shakes her head in disbelief of all this
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You don't think so?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> The nerve of her not playing with my daughters
<Sara> <Chelsea> Does she think she's that much better
<Sara> * She scoffs
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *glances back at Sparkling* "I'm going to need to support the Aquarius on general principle now."
<DeathStar> <Chelsea> I-I think she just isn't allowed to take the Aquarius out to race
<DeathStar> *Cypher
<DeathStar> *Cypher pets Celsea*
<Sara> <Chelsea> So they should race each other personally like kids do, y'know
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I do wonder how fast they are on foot now
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I'll talk to the three and see what they think about an old fashioned foot race.
<DeathStar> *she kisses Chel*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "If that works, that's great. We can settle it!"
<Alicia> * Sparkling punches the air excitedly
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Your nanomachines are alright; it may with magik make the surgery move from the orange to the yellow
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Anything that makes it more likely to work is good."
<DeathStar> *she nods* Up to you if you want to go to ssee Jen and offer them. I'm still going to Earth to see if I can get some of the Kane nanomachines
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Just as a backup
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'll help, that way we have more options for you.
<Seraphna> Alita> Between Brooke and my healing Magik, we shall help a lot.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You really have gotten more reliable, Xanatos."
<Xanatos> <Xan> It's almost like your 4 decade old grudge is a waste of everyone's time. 6* He makes a shocked face and then winks before moving to get his shuttle ready for the earth trip.
<Alicia> * Kyouki laughs at that
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He can be very funny.
<DeathStar> *She smiles and puts Kyouki on her head*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles to Kyo and hops in the shuttle**
<DeathStar> *as those going to Earth leave, those doing classes hear the bell ring*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Crap crap crap. My last class of the day
<DeathStar> *Racheal grabs her books and runs off*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* The team meets up with Lemon's group outside a political thing of Kane and Celidah
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... *arms crossed in thought, she peers at Kane doing some speech with Celidah*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *She peers at the Kane on stage, then the second Kane, then back
<Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his neck, letting out a sigh.
* ChadWinters crosses his arms, listening a bit, his datapad held in his right hand as he glances at it occasionaly.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So I've always wondered, does this count as twinsies?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pats Kane's back and hugs Lemon in greeting, scratching his cheek with a middle finger pointed to chad. He looks at the Kane giving a speech
<DeathStar> *Lemon returns the hug*
* ChadWinters side glances at Xan. 1"Good to know I'm still number one in your thoughts."
<DeathStar> *Kane steps down from the podium and moves off to a back room out of sight*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats above the group, watching/scanning the area.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So how should we play this. *she listens to other speakers speak for the night*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Anyone have any magik that can help?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We could just ask?
<ChadWinters> Ask to talk to him.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I could go ask to talk, being half brothers and all that.
<ChadWinters> That could work.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Direct route is easy, and just hope he's not an evil clone planted for world domination or..." She cuts herself off, "...I need to stop reading Sparkling's books."
<DeathStar> *Lemon nods to Xanatos and using her military clearance, they are soon in a room with Kane 1.0 and Celidah before they move to their next location. His wounds are almost 100% healed*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is it weird I sometimes forget Kane is my uncle?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "That's not weird at all. I sometimes forget Xanatos is your father."
<DeathStar> <Kane> What can I do for you? *He smiles, adjusting his suit and stepping up to them*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blushes** Well, I get most of my looks from Momma.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You certainly do."
* ChadWinters shifts his datapad away as he locks his gaze on the OG Kane
<Alicia> * Sparkling eyes Kane, as if trying to determine if he's an evil shapeshifter or something.
<DeathStar> *Kane seems to be perfectly find - well, you know, except any V.I programming that might be in him to run for the President to take over Eath*
<DeathStar> *Earth*
<Xanatos> <Xan> What do you mean what can you do, you come back from the dead and you don't give me a call?
* ChadWinters glances at their Kane
<DeathStar> *Kane smiles all politically* Ah. That. My apologies. You have been off planet. *he waves his hands* It is hard to get communications to Geyze on the best of days. How are you. *he studies Xanatos* You look rough.
<DeathStar> *Lemon studies Celidah beside Kane*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh looks over. "Is something wrong?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Do I? 6* He glances to Chad, then shakes his head and looks to Erevis.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ahem. 6* He shifts out from behind the group to face the other Kane.
<DeathStar> *Erevis closes her eyes, perhaps trying to read their minds, but taps to a portion of their brain, indicating whatever V.I has in their head is blocking it from reading it*
<Xanatos> <Kane> We discovered your...test tubes. We know that VI grew you back from nothing and implanted directives inside your brain.
<DeathStar> *the original Kane studies the other Kane, then pours himself a drink and points at Kane* I've heard about you. Another universe. Right? *he listens to Kane* Is that right? *he peers at Celidah* Do you know anything about that?
<Ariel> * Nicolette is a little unsettled by this weird science
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Nothing."
<DeathStar> <Kane> I just know I felt like being President after I woke up one day.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Uh...huh...
<Xanatos> <Kane> Your life ended with a bomb years before I ran for office.
<ChadWinters> And so you decided to claim to be him? 6He nods towards their Kane
<DeathStar> <Kane> *twitches a little with a sour look* And what do you want? *he peers at all of them, then Xanatos*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Okay so you got some weird stuff in your head, who hasn't had that once or twice? Chad made up a fake personality just so he could be a dickhead, it happens. But we can help, we can strip those directives out of there, get you back to making your own choices and in return those nanites in your bloodstream could help save a life on the PAX. Win win, right?
<DeathStar> <Selena> *peers at Chad* You made up a fake personality to be a jerk?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Is that normal, momma?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Are we just supposed to trust you there?"
<ChadWinters> Eh. It's complicated.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I want to say it's not, but..."
<Sara> <Liana> ...No
<Seraphna> **Jaime tilts her head** I mean, Uncle Chris is family, so why shouldn'
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, there you go then."
<ChadWinters> <Id> They found the V.I. lab that they believe you were revived in.
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...shouldn't there be trust?
<DeathStar> *Kane taps his glass and drinks it down, sitting on a desk* I see.
<DeathStar> <Kane> ... *He seems to be thinking for a moment, an internal struggle going on, then smiles a little like Kane does* Sure. Why not. *he peers at Ceildah* You want to trust them?
<ChadWinters> We haven't given you a reason not trust us, yet.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If you trust them, I will."
<DeathStar> *Kane nods and hands something to Xanatos and the rest* Here hold onto this for me while I get my coat.
<ChadWinters> 6Id scans the thing as he holds it out
<Xanatos> 6* Xan glances down at what he's holding.
<DeathStar> *he moves to his desk to grab the coat*
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a datapad*
* ChadWinters instinctively moves backwards and away from Xan
<Xanatos> 6* Kane reaches into his coat, hand on an emp grenade.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh moves to get her coat as well
<DeathStar> *Kane grabs his datpaad, then eyes Chad out of the corner* Not very trusting
<Xanatos> 6* Xan waits, watching Kane. Not jumping since he's pretty sure it's a test.
<ChadWinters> No, I'm not.
<ChadWinters> But you would remember that.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Isn't that just a datapad?"
<DeathStar> *Kane grins a little like a bastard as he follows them out, changing it to a politican's smile as he waves to the crows as he leaves; up above the group a ninja with her sword out watches them leave, whispering "zombie"*
<Seraphna> Jaime> For Chad this is downright vulnerable.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I--guess so?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh yeah but you can make a lot of stuff explode if you wanted. 6* He slips the datapad back to Kane and moves along.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh puts her coat on. "Alright then. Lets go."
<Xanatos> <Xan> One time I almost blew off my fingers because I put some mints in a soda and put the lid on.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Why am I not surprised?"
<DeathStar> *as they all leave, it seems Kane and Celidah barely escaped with their heads as the ninja leaves*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats along.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Those with healing powers are gathered in medical as OG Kane and Celidah are to be deprogrammed later. Right now they are around Vesper
<DeathStar> *Cuddles has the nanomachines and injects it into Vesper and steps back to let Jennifer do her thing*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen has rushed back as quickly as he could after his last exam.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Okay, healers, make sure you do your healing thing to keep her life signs up
<Xanatos> 6* Simon readies a healing spell, letting Alita take the lead.
<DeathStar> *Rachael and Sabrina stand on either side to do what they can, Sabrina looking to see if any Makas are there*
<Seraphna> **Alita summons Brooke to aid them**
<DeathStar> *Brooke appears and looks confused*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt watches from outside, his eyes watching Valen briefly
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sits in the waiting area, tossing a ball that isn't Id up into the air, catching it, the repeats the process.
<Seraphna> Alita> I'll need you to help keep this lady alive.
<Alicia> * Sparkling looks over to Sabrina, readying some healing herself.
<DeathStar> *when Sera is ready, I will begin the OG.*
<Seraphna> **Alita prepares to brace with her regeneration spell and a revive, the Jennifer nods and begins.**
<DeathStar> Heals will remove 3 mess up each
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Left, Right, LEft, Down, Up, Down, Right, Left, Down, Right, Up, Down, Left, Down, Down, Up, Down, Right, Left, Down, Right, Down, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Down, Right, Right, Down, Down, Left, Left, Up, Up, Right, Left, Down, Up, Right, Left, Down, Up, Right, Down, Up.

<ChadWinters> How's your eye treating you? 6He asks idly to Xan as he sits there
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sometimes it sees things that aren't there. Like a little floating orb spying on things.
<DeathStar> *Jennifer finishes and collapses*
<DeathStar> *on a K*
<ChadWinters> That's probably from the hidden code I inserted into it's power core. 6He hears a collapse noise.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Wow. She did it all. And your healing restored any damage
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Vesper will be fine
<DeathStar> *She nods to the healers*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Wait, really!?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Yes.
<Alicia> * Sparkling breathes a sigh of relief.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We did it!"
<DeathStar> *Cuddles stands on Jennifer to stand taller*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I feel drained
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's why I keep wanting to write you love letters.
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans in to stare at Chad and Xanatos*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I'm glad for the practice... that was tricky work."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... I ship you.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen looks relieved, jumping up and down and fist pumping, he grabs cuddles and kisses her on the cheek, then shakes the collapsed Jennifer.
<ChadWinters> Please. That's because you miss me in your life. 6He snorts at that
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Oh my."
<DeathStar> *she leans out*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer groans** I'm gonna need a vacation...
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh professional courtesy and all of that, you should check on your totally not working for you weapons on Geyze.
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans back in having drawn a picture of Chad and Xanatos holding hands*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *with a boat behind them*
<ChadWinters> Are you referring to the wreckage that Lumi showed you all?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sure looked like some of your tech in that picture.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "But of course, you didn't send it there, I'm sure..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime peeks at Erevis' drawings, she whispers** Momma ships people too...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *slowly draws Jaime on the boat now*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pulls out a handkerchief and dabs at his forehead, then offers it to Alita.
<ChadWinters> Why would I utilize anything that would leave a trace? You forget my old team are Weapons.
<Xanatos> <Valen> How long will she be out?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> It might be a day or two. She needs rest. But she will be fine.
<Seraphna> **Alita takes it, then hugs Brooke, getting damp**
<DeathStar> *She leads them all out of the room* Let he sleep
<DeathStar> *her
<DeathStar> *Brooke blinks then pets Alita*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Alright, don't check on them.
<ChadWinters> Besides, I have Id to spy on you all. Why would I need them?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, that was refreshing honesty."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh I reprogrammed him months ago.
* ChadWinters lets out a laugh at that, a rare geniune one. 1"That'd be the day."
<Xanatos> <Xan> I got Bix to do it for me. Why do you think most of his information is on the stuff BIX is doing? 6* He wiggles an eyebrow.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My little genius. *She pinches Xan's cheeks*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slumps into the chair beside Vesper's bad and lays his head back, finals and her condition having been weighing heavily on him.
<ChadWinters> Let's hope Id doesn't find out. Betrayl can be a rough feeling to learn to process.
<DeathStar> *Rachael pats Valen* Glad it worked out
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-640.12.18
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *the holovid plays news on Dias winning the Presidency when Kane mysteriously drops out of the running*
<DeathStar> *leading to questions why*
<DeathStar> *some saying Dias "dealt" with him*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Another term...
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is it that bad?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Even I know, that if Dias 'dealt' with someone, he'd punch them into rehab."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Depends on your view. While he is chaotic in his outward appearance. Stacey seems to guide him well
<Xanatos> <Xan> I think Dias is a good president. And by that I mean I think Stacey is a good president and Dias is a good face.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Momma? Is it alright if I settle my residence permanently on PAX and Geyze now?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... you have been living on the PAX all your life!!!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> On the Geyze thing, go ahead
<DeathStar> *with school out the school is emptying and outside the three spirits are on a foot race*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So double yes.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> ... this seems ... wrong
<Alicia> <Asha> "Well, I live here, so I'm fine."
<DeathStar> <Mireille> .... I'm not fast on foot...
<Sara> * Chelsea is cheering for her daughters
<DeathStar> *the other two Spirits sneer as they get ready to cream Mireille and Mireille looks sad and sniffles*
<Seraphna> **Cookie subtly speeds Mirelle's time a little**
<Xanatos> 6* BIX holds up a sign that says "Go! Race! Fun!"
<DeathStar> *Mireille gets into racing position and when the noise goes off the two zoom ahead and Mireille runs as fast as she can lagging behind them - she is really slow, hence her platforms*
<ChadWinters> <Id> But it would be fair to say he can't be that bad if no one pushed to try and take him on other than the cyborg Kane
<DeathStar> <Mireille> W-W-wait for me...
<Alicia> <Asha> "Earth will be fine. I just hope Geyze is too."
<DeathStar> *Lumi walks in* I have bad news
<Alicia> <Asha> "Oh no!"
<ChadWinters> <Id> War has broken out on Geyze?
<DeathStar> *she looks grave; meanwhile. Riki can be seen moving into the Academy her family since, you know, she can no longer in the Presidental Tower at the end of the year. She looks ... down*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Wait, what?!"
<Xanatos> <Simon> The Kumen election ended as well?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... what just happened?!"
<Seraphna> **Luci pops up behind Riki** Oh bestie~
<DeathStar> <Lumi> That ended a few days. Ylva won naturally. But. We're close to what might be war. I'll start up the ladder of bad news. The Ents and the Naturalist Kingdoms are at each other's throats. http://www.thealienwars.com/TAW6/Duality/Info/Geyze.php
<DeathStar> *she brings out the map*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Unfortunate that I was correct on my guess.
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's not a war yet! We can still act!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I guess the Spirits need to try and find a way to moderate...
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I do not know what caused it by the Ent Leaders are not speaking and refusing to go to the meetings if the other is there. And the Naturalist are arming themselves with minor forces outside the Peacekeepers and the Ents the same. I'm trying to get to the bottom of what caused it.
<ChadWinters> <Id> But I guess that means we will busy then.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> And the worse thing. There's rumors that a tragedy happened in the Legionaire Kingdom
<Sara> <Liana> We will certainly have to find out the cause...
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Over the past week, and they've been keeping it on the down low.
<Xanatos> <Simon> This is very worrysome, I will ready my things for a trip to the Ent domain.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Less they reveal their weakness, especially with everything going wrong
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...A tragedy?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can probably get the two to talk... we spend a lot of time together.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Statistically for so many nations to jump at each other or have problems at the same time. I would wager that there is an outside factor
<Seraphna> Alita> And perhaps I need to visit my husband.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I told you, an evil plan!"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I believe someone died in the Kaiser's family. Maybe even the Kaiser himself or Mykel. Supposedly a hunting or horse accident
<DeathStar> <Lumi> So I'm not sure who it is yet.
<DeathStar> *Celes folds her hands*
<Seraphna> **Alita raises a brow** Surely I'd have felt it if Mykel was dead... **she goes pale**
<Alicia> <Asha> "... that's not good."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Jules, then? 6* He frowns
<ChadWinters> <Id> Perhaps.
<DeathStar> *while they are talking, Id gets a communication from Aya*
<ChadWinters> 6Id blinks slightly then connects it internally first
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well
<DeathStar> <Celes> I guess we will all be traveling around Geyze for a while
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Normally I'd look forward to that, but..."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Yeah. I'm not going to enjoy looking at our allies being unhappy with each other. I-I don't know remember a time that's ever happened
<DeathStar> <Celes> The Alliance has not been around that long
<DeathStar> <Celes> There was a time the Kingdoms were all not friends
<DeathStar> <Celes> So we cannot afford to let it splinter
<Alicia> <Asha> "I don't want to go back to that."
<ChadWinters> <Id> We will do what we can to solve this, Celes.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Right!"
<Xanatos> <Simon> We have done this loop before, we shall do it again. We just cannot lose focus. Peace is our only option.
<DeathStar> -END-
<ChadWinters> <Id> I like your optimism, Simon
