<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi sits in a meeting with what Alliance leaders have deemed to show up. Qui is there, Kalam, Sasha, I assume, Cassava at least is there, though Leaf seems to not be there right now. Celed and Ylva. The Naturalist leader isn't there right now.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I see quie a few empty seats."
<Seraphna> **Alita takes a seat**
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel walks in and takes the seat reserved for the Kaiser* Sorry for being late, still getting used to all of the responsibilities.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Well, the Alliance is still having some issues.
<DeathStar> <Cassava> I suppose my vote will still matter even if Leaf is being *she uses some Ent word that isn't a good word*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats to the side a bit, always watching and listening.
<Seraphna> **Alita gently leans against Mykel**
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Circumstances being what they are, it is still good to see you, Cassava."
<DeathStar> *Ylva seems to be wearing some sort of clothing that makes her look a little like Ymir*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I just wanted to hand out some documents on what we'll be covering the new year, as well as bring Ylva and I suppose Mykel on responsibilities. And we're going to vote on just one thing
<DeathStar> <Lumi> *she hands the members present a paper and Qui, Kalam, Cassava, and Ylva glance at their's*
<Seraphna> **Alita peeks, even if with Mykel having joined them her position as his stand in has reverted to wife arm candy**
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel looks over the documents quietly*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It is a vote to bring out date system in line with the galactic date system. So it would be 10-641.1.5. <Ylva> Why should we change out dating system? <Lumi> Well your date is based on some ancient number system no one else uses
<DeathStar> *bring our
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Please explain the rationale."
<DeathStar> *Lumi explains so that when papers are stamped and sent to other planets, like the Suisen Empire or Earth, they don't have Geyze or Kumen's dates and have to be converted to the galactic date*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And explain why these provide benefits for our members."
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> And how would this work due to the time difference that occurs here? There's what? 3 days here for every day in the Suisen Empire?
<DeathStar> *Lumi eyes Mykel oddly*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> What?
<Seraphna> Alita> <Dear, the time difference is gone now.>
<Stretch`cell> (Disregard, missing info)
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Basically you guys are one of the few planets that aren't in line with galactic time. This would bring you in line with the same galactic date that Earth, the Suisen Empire uses, the Tsivrixsh uses, that the Erusians use, the Cartel, and so on
<DeathStar> <Lumi> So do you want to use the galactic calendars or not. That is what the vote is about
<Seraphna> Alita> It would benefit our relations with these other planets then?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> It could. Like I said, from what I understand people have to revert the dates back and forth
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "If approved we'll need to lay out a transition plan."
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> While I believe it may have benefits from a government perspective, transitioning the populations as a whole will be difficult. It would take time to implement fully.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Let the Alliance handle that.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Anyway, give me your votes.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We vote to support the motion."
<DeathStar> <Qui> I am fine with it
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I see no reason to say no
<DeathStar> *Cassava says no, to be contrary*
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Ylva> Yes? Yes.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Okay, the date is now offically 10-641.1.5. I will take Mykel and Ylva aside and bring them up to speed on things. *she lets everyone else go off to their own things*
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> I have reservations about losing part of our heritage, but will vote yes as well.
<DeathStar> *Shinobu moves off to go back to the Dark Lands. Kalam and Qui as well as Cassava move off. Meanwhile, at the Manor, Selena peers out at the snow during winter break*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We will transition to the new calendar."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "It will not be all at once."
<Seraphna> **Jaime hums sits at the window with Terra, showing her the falling snow**
<DeathStar> *As Sasha is stepping out, a servant walks up. The servant is wearing clothes that was once likely the finest - a high noble clothing, but it's seen better days. Though it's not the best and one can see the wear and tear on it a little, they are dressed perfectly and smarly*
<DeathStar> *As they exit the Alliance meeting room, they hold out something to Sasha*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Hmmm?" *holds out her hand*
<DeathStar> <Celes> *studies the snow silently and turn to the others* I suppose we should deal with the Naturalist soon
<DeathStar> *she takes a seat and sips her tea*
<DeathStar> *the servant bows and moves off after leaving Sasha what appears to be some sort of note*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *opens the note and reads it*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC peers over at Celes. 1"I imagine so."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "WHAAAAAAAT?!"
<DeathStar> *Cypher peers out of Chelsea's workshop at the yell*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes a deep breath and heads back to her building*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> What the hell was that?
<DeathStar> *she scans the snow*
<Seraphna> Jaime> And that Terra, was the sound of a noble woman learning something unexpected. Never make that noise.
<Sara> <Chelsea> It sounded like someone screamed
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *returns home and immediately start ringing her bell for the domestic staff*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, if we are going to make the journey to the Naturalist Kingdom we should--- *at that moment she notes what appears to be several Hapian carriages coming into the Academy. There seems to be 10 of them coming up and they all seem to be an older model - large and bulky, and while they were once probably very regal and impressive, age has chipped at some of their impressiveness. They slide in with their Hapian regal looks and power, symbols of the Royal crest on the side and servants driving them along and even though they shake a little due to age, they begin to draw some heads*
<DeathStar> <Celes> .. what... the hell...
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Is that an uncommon sight
<DeathStar> *the Nymphs that help Sasha step forth*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You seeing what I'm seeing
<Sara> <Chelsea> Is there a queen we don't know about?
<DeathStar> *Celes looks pale at the sight of them and breaks her tea cup with her gloved hand. Erevis tilts her head at the sight*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> You appear to recognize them.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Good question. I think that's the Hapian crest on them.
<DeathStar> *the moves into the manor - sensing a good story*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Make ready to receive guests... sharp-tongued and overly critical guests. And brandy for my bedside... alot of it."
<Seraphna> **Jaime makes her way over to find out more, wiggling Terra** Let's go see all the neat political intrigue, my little Goddess.
<DeathStar> *the servants begin to roll out a carpet onto the snow toward Sasha's building and Celes seems to be staring out the window at nothing. Selena peers at Liana*
<DeathStar> <Selena> What is going on, Momma?
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats along to follow while SPoC sets down her pencil and moves to follow
<DeathStar> *Cypher stands near the manor and the carriages, watching. The two spirit kids run around with Mireille, who they have made friends with. The three all stand to watch as the servants begin to bring out old bags that look very warn and run toward Sasha's building*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *tries to quickly prepare herself, moving into her finest clothing and having a nymph brush her long hair*
<DeathStar> *one servant runs over to the manor and knocks on the door*
<Sara> <Liana> I have no idea...
<Seraphna> **Jaime changes her outfit to a fine nature themed gown and steps inside, carrying Terra.**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *takes notes* Should I do the carpet on the snow thing?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We're more badass then that Momma. Use a little bit of hyperspace to melt the snow around you as you walk like a boss. **She nods**
<Seraphna> **Jaime pauses and realizes** Well, once you get it back.
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns to Kyouki*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Kyouki!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You will melt the ground before me since I lack hyperspace right now.
<DeathStar> *she nods in thought*
<Alicia> * Kyouki nods, and sets out to do so.
<DeathStar> *Gwen opens the door and the servant hands everyone notes*
<DeathStar> *Gwen blinks and sees they have been given invitations to go to Sasha's place. Stepping out of the carriage is a woman with long black hair and red eyes that looks a lot like Celes and Selena and Sasha.*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves for the grand entry to her building and waits a moment before she steps outside*
<Seraphna> **Jaime winks to her mother**
<DeathStar> *she has a stern face that looks liks she could chew glass and the servants walk ahead of her to the building, one holding her cloak behind her as not to let it drag. If one studies her closely, they would see her clothes look a little worn*
<DeathStar> <Celes> I can't believe it is her. *she peers at Liana, taking her hand*
<DeathStar> <Celes> It's my Aunt.
<Sara> <Liana> I feel like I may have seen her once... from a distance...
<DeathStar> <Celes> She puts my mother to shame.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I don't think I've ever seen her
<ChadWinters> <Id> Interesting. More political drama.
<DeathStar> *Erevis follows behind Kyouki*
<DeathStar> <Celes> My mother was not a good person
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *stays in place as she has the nymphs open the doors*
<DeathStar> <Celes> *peers at Selena*
<Seraphna> Jaime> *whispers to Erevis* It's like if Lenneth never mellowed out.
<DeathStar> *remembering how Selena's birth caused Hapian to into crisis mode*
<DeathStar> * Lucera arrives at the door and studies Sasha*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Lucera Hapian, Grand Duchess of the East. Welcome to my domain... mother."
<DeathStar> *she examines Sasha, then the building, then bows her head a fraction* Show me to my room. I am tired. I request a banquet this evening. I have an announcement. *she strolls in without waiting*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well she just took over. *Celes and Selena move over to Sasha*
<ChadWinters> <Id> She seems to carry a lot of weight behind her.
<DeathStar> <Celes> My mother and aunt always did. It's why I vowed never to be like them
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a hand and signals the nymphs to comply with her mother's request*
<DeathStar> *Celes turns to Liana* Do you think you can handle this type of thing once more, my love?
<Sara> <Liana> I-I will do my best...
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'm having flashbacks. *Referring to the Hapian banquets of the past*
<ChadWinters> <Id> I am curious how Sasha will handle this. Bow before her or stand up to her.
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> *evening comes around and the elder Hapian has turned the Ancient Temple that Sasha uses as her building and made the nymphs turn it into a banquet. Tables are set up and the Hapian servants that she has brought along move around to supervise*
<DeathStar> *Celes stands in a beautiful dress and Selena moves from table to table, studying things*
<DeathStar> *Kito and Neekito peek around the place, perhaps drawn to this place due to their origins*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *is there in a dark red dress that matches her eyes and her mood*
<DeathStar> *Gwen hides in the corner with the alcohol and food*
<Alicia> * Asha stands around, in a simple yet elegant dress, looking less out of place than she would have done a while back in a place like this, while Sparkling Justice looks a different sort of out of place. Her outfit is definitely fancy enough, though.
<Seraphna> **Jaime is dressed up in her finest forest gown look.**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. *she stands with Kyouki, holding a cup, watching things and Cypher whispers in Chelsea's ears* <Cypher> So. Think we can dance?
<Sara> <Chelsea> A dance is just a blueprint you assemble through body movements, step by step
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... I just said something incredibly dry, didn't I
<Jackieness> <Lana> *goes into the same corner with Gwen, sporting a gothic ball gown*
<Sara> <Chelsea> What I mean to say is, we can always dance
<Alicia> <Asha> "No, that sounds like wisdom."
<DeathStar> *Celes looks nervous and downs another cup of punch. Selena secretly unleases Luna to play*
<Sara> * Luna runs around unchecked
<DeathStar> *Cypher smiles at Asha and Cypher, then moves to dance with her. Syph slides in wearing a beautiful leaf gown and her hair even longer than normal, somehow grown longer with spirit power; little flowers in it*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats up high, moving about the room
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "So... mother. What draws you away from your palace?"
<DeathStar> *at that moment some servants step forward to announce Lucera and Lucera comes in with all pomp and noise, moving to the head of the table that should technically be for Celes*
<DeathStar> *seating herself slowly and looking stern at the people milling about, then peering at Sasha* You.
<DeathStar> *Celes studies Lucera and whispers to Liana* I don't think she respects me a great deal
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps forward* "Yes, mother?"
<DeathStar> *as the food begins to be laid out on the food, Cypher gives Chelsea a kiss and takes a seat. Selena quickly grabs Luna and takes a seat and Celes sits down as well near Sasha and Lucera, having Liana beside her. Erevis finds a spot with Kyouki next to her*
<Sara> * Luna flails, as if she hadn't had enough mischief
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I bet we're going to hear something boring. *He whispers to Sparkling and Lana*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *takes a drink* "This seems a bit formal for my taste, but that's how things go."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *nod nods*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Or really entertaining... cna you feel that tension?"
<ChadWinters> 6Id drops down from the ceiling and to Lana. 1"I can not. But I do not feel."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Now then... to what do I owe this visit?"
<DeathStar> <Lucera> *she sips her drink* You are getting older and have not thought about producing an heir. *she glances at Celes with a look - not covering her distaste* You have not been looking to the future to make ties with families or hold onto what you have built up. So. I have fixed the problem for you, Sasha. *she nods* I have arranged the perfect marriage for you. One that will cement your future forever.
<DeathStar> *she finishes her wine and Celes coughs on her's*
<Sara> * Liana sputters and then plays it off coolly, dabbing her face with a napkin
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *lips twitch a moment* "...so I see..."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... I can't say I'm happy with this development."
<DeathStar> *Celes frowns, clearly not happy with this since she knows Sasha likes Rain*
<Alicia> * Sparkling holds back from speaking her mind on the arranged marriage thing, but obviously doesn't like it one bit.
<DeathStar> *more food is brought out at that moment*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... I--- isn't arranged weddings... not a thing anymore...?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Such an archaic practice. 6It lowers it's voice so that Lana and those close can hear.
<DeathStar> *Lucera eyes Selena like she is a dolt*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a hand* "...and who exactly am I betrothed to?"
<Alicia> * Sparkling finally speaks up. "People should be allowed to marry who they love."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So Gwen... what do you think?"
<DeathStar> <Lucera> Of course. *she gives the details about a Hapian noble with a lot of money and has connections to the Legion and the Amazons. Apparently he is a noble that is very close to the family as far as relations*
<Sara> * Liana resists the urge to stick out her tongue and retch
<DeathStar> *having some black hair like the Hapians,etc*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I hate it.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...and why should I agree to this?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...and why should I agree to this?"
<Seraphna> **Talia pops out of Gwen's shirt and turns into a girl** Hmph.
<Seraphna> Talia> Or me!
<DeathStar> *Sasha's mother stares at her, then rises* You would disregard me? Come with me, then, Sasha. *she steps off to the side, clearly angered*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Very well." *rises and moves after her mother*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I wonder if Talia's gonna pull her new weight around.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I wonder if she will threaten to cut Sasha off.
<Sara> * Liana eyes them going
<Alicia> <Asha> "... this feels like trouble."
<Sara> <Liana> What would that even accomplish at this point? ... Actually, does Sasha even make money as it is? I'm not sure whether her role pays or...
<DeathStar> <Celes> Not a lot
<DeathStar> <Celes> The Academy itself is what makes the money.
<ChadWinters> <Id> I am sure if money is a factor that can be deal with by many of the rich people she's become friends with
<DeathStar> <Celes> I mean Sasha is paid but not a whole lot. I usually help supplement. Probably my Aunt thinks with that noble's connection and Sasha's position here she can bring in more money for Sasha herself. And maybe set up a legacy. This Academy and city is growing every year.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That woman is broke
<Sara> <Liana> The Academy virtually *is* Sasha's legacy, at this point.
<DeathStar> *Gwen eats and speaks up*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Good call."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Because of her worn and clearly reused clothing. Gwen raises a good point
<DeathStar> <Celes> What?
<Alicia> <Asha> "I don't want to lose the academy." *resumes eating*
<Sara> <Liana> So... here to take advantage of Sasha, then.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So, basically, Sasha should just refuse to do what she asks."
<ChadWinters> <Id> In theory yes. But I would believe she has some sort of leverage to force her to obey.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Arranged Marriage is terrible! Love is everything!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well I just know she likes Rain but for some reason she doesn't seem interested in marrying her. Maybe because of her mom
<DeathStar> <Celes> Her mom is the type that would flip out on marrying a Daemon
<DeathStar> <Selena> So a racist and old school Hapian
<DeathStar> *pushes her food aside and lets Luna run free*
<DeathStar> *Celes seems to lose her appetite*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *listens to the dance floor music and Sylph pouts* <Sylph> Sylph no longer feels like dancing
<Alicia> <Asha> "... now *I* agree that she should ignore her."
<Sara> * Luna runs circles around a table
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "If only there were something we could do."
<DeathStar> *the return and Lucera notes to the table* I apologize. I have a terrible headache. I hope you all enjoy your meal. *she shoots Sasha a look, as if she disowns her and leaves*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Based on the look of death she gave us, I assume you told her no
<ChadWinters> <Id> You could always eliminate her. 6Id notes to Kyouki once Lucera leaves
<Seraphna> **Talia hugs onto Gwen jealously, then pulls Lana over to help**
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I could... but that would cause more problems than it solves."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> D-Did I do something?
<Sara> <Liana> I get the feeling that wasn't the last we'll hear of all this
<Jackieness> <Lana> "eep!"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes a seat* "I told her that she could solve all her problems by apologizing to the throne and begging the indulgence of the crown."
<DeathStar> <Celes> I doubt that will happen. She hates me
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "You are her empress."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Nice."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Then she clearly doesn't want to fix her problems the easy way.
<DeathStar> <Celes> She would see me dead before that happens,
<Alicia> <Asha> "How disloyal!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I am the child of.. *waves a hand* It doesn't matter
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *waves a hand* "Her intent was to see me installed upon the throne and ruling through me."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well, I would watch your back Celes then.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "What a surprise."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **looks to Erevis** So glad you let us all persue what we like.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Trying to acquire power through using other people just feels... weak."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Isn't that what people do when they bond with Spirits?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I try. But I got a glimpse into that woman's mind; she has a secret she kept from Sasha and Celes.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *glances at Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> In regards to your family. It flashed briefly when she glared at Sasha.
<Seraphna> **Jaime rolls her eyes** Pacting, perhaps you could say that in a really crude way, Id. But bonding is a whole other level of matching one's being.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "It's not merely 'using' people."
<DeathStar> *Celes downs her wine*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well, we have a party here. Perhaps we should try to enjoy it somewhat
<DeathStar> *Celes takes Liana's hand* Dance?
<Sara> * Liana nods
<Sara> <Liana> Let's
<ChadWinters> <Id> It is always interesting to see peoples responses when you phrase things a certain way. 6Id rolls, probably with excitement as it moves over to various foods to scan them
<Alicia> * Kyouki looks to Erevis, but doesn't outright suggest dancing.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes her glass of wine and drinks from it* "Now then... what is this family secret then?"
<Alicia> <Asha> "So you're just playing with people's hearts, Id?"
<DeathStar> *Celes pulls Liana close and begins to slow dance with her and Gwen takes Lana and Talia over to the floor nd slow danecs with them*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *leans back and watches Gnome shyly offer a hand to Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Talia is thrilled**
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes it and smiles, leading her into a dance**
<ChadWinters> <Id> More learning about people's emotions. Hearts are only used for pumping blood.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That much I did not get off of her
<Alicia> <Asha> "Don't you know what a metaphor is?"
<DeathStar> *Selena peers at Sparkling and Asha* Dance?
<DeathStar> *Sylph does a silly dance on the floor, shaking her butt*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *downs her glass of wine and rises* "I think that I have had enough of this."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'll dance!"
<ChadWinters> <Id> Yes. That is why I responded with with a dad joke.
<DeathStar> *Luna is totally not missing*
<DeathStar> *you should not freak out and search for her*
<Alicia> * Asha looks around, as if noticing something is wrong
<DeathStar> *Selena dances with Sparkling to the music*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Hey, where did Luna go?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns her heads down a corridor to return to her private apartment*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Luna is there. *she points*
<Sara> * Liana is dancing with Celes, oblivious to any worries about her certainly not missing daughter
<Sara> * Luna waves
<DeathStar> *Luna has gotten all the junk food*
<DeathStar> *oh no*
<Alicia> * Asha is eating meaty snacks
<DeathStar> *after the party winds down a little and the night gets a little later, Erevis walks with Kyouki, having been dancing with her since Xanatos is not around*
<DeathStar> *Celes walks with Liana and Selena has Luna on her shoulders as they all head through the temple to leave*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *sits on her balcony with a glass of brandy in her hand*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *either arm around Lana and Talia* That was nice.
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles and whispers to Gnome about shipping her mother with Kyo again**
<Seraphna> **Talia giggles** I had fun! Did Lana?
<DeathStar> *as they exit the temple, suddenly a malfuctioning carriage rushes right at Celes and Liana to smash them into the temple*
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Once the drama died down."
<DeathStar> -0-
<Sara> * Liana pushes Celes out of the way
<DeathStar> *the carriage smashes into Liana as Celes is pushed away*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats out and pauses as Liana is hit, quickly scanning for her life signature
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... *oofs and Selena screams as she rushes over*
<DeathStar> <Selena< Momma... Mommmma!
<Alicia> * Asha growls at this. This was *not* an accident. Then she heads over to check on Liana.
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... LIIAAAANNNNAAA
<DeathStar> *Celes digs through the metal and stuff and gets to Liana, who is impaled and bleeding*
<Alicia> * Sparkling hurries over herself, after the shock dies down.
<Seraphna> **Alita comes storming out as she hears the cries and rushes to Liana's side**
<DeathStar> <Celes> Oh no.. Oh no oh no oh no
<Sara> * Liana is probably not conscious given the pain alone
<ChadWinters> 6Id see's that they others have her and he moves to look over the carriage, seeing if it's a new one from the Academy or one of the ones that came in
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *sets down her glass and moves downstairs after hearing the ruckus*
<Seraphna> Alita> Careful, careful, we must extract her while I heal her wounds so that she does not bleed out**
<DeathStar> *Celes uses her ability - being linked to Liana to help Liana out*
<DeathStar> <Celes> It's okay, my love... it is Okay..
<Seraphna> **Alita starts weaving magic to stabilize her, calling on Undine as she does**
<DeathStar> *as Sasha leaves, she would see a servant move long the hallway - one of her mother's*
<Seraphna> Alita> Talia! To me. **Talia appears as well, squeaking and helps with her healing magic**
<Alicia> <Asha> "Right, right..." *she removes debris, then carefully attempts to extract Liana*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Hold there. What are you doing roaming about?"
<DeathStar> *Selena heals her mother, trying to keep her stablized and Brooke arrives. Gwen kneels and focuses and helps get the metal out slowly*
<Sara> * Liana will most likely be fine, of course, but it isn't pretty
<DeathStar> <Selena> Stay with me momma..
<DeathStar> *Selena works to make sure there is no scarring if she can help it.
<Seraphna> Alita> Brooke, cleanse the wounds as I heal, join our magic.
<DeathStar> *the servant turns, holding some weird Hapian pendant* I am just doing deliveries for my mistress.
<DeathStar> *Brooke nods and they work together*
<DeathStar> *Celes holds Liana's hand as they do their work - Asha and Gwen soon get all the debris out*
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves over, frowning with worry but healing isn't in her forte**
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves over to approach the servant* "At this hour?"
<DeathStar> <Servant> Yes, Ma'am.
<Seraphna> **Alita works to close the wounds with her magic, using much if her energies in the casting of a few full heal magicks**
<Alicia> * Sparkling helps out
<Seraphna> Alita> She's going to be alright, she'll just need a very, very long nap after this.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And what is that in your hand?"
<DeathStar> <Servant> It is nothing that important. Just a trinket.
<DeathStar> *Celes lets out a sob of relief and puts her face in Liana's chest, not caring if her black hair is bloodied a little* Oh thank the Spirits
<DeathStar> <Celes> I do not know what I would do if I lost her. <Selena> ... *she slowly touches Celes*
<Alicia> <Asha> "So... now we just need to prove that wasn't just an accident..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "May I see it?"
<DeathStar> *Selena kneels to lift Liana up and carry her to the manor*
<Seraphna> Alita> I dearly hope it was just an accident...
<DeathStar> *The servant reluctantly pauses, then nods, holding it out*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes the pendant and looks it over*
<DeathStar> *as Sasha takes it, she would feel light headed and dizzy a little. The pendant has the crest on it and looks to be very old. It is definitely of the Hapian family, but seems very old. ... v-very old. Suddenly, Sasha whites out*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 10-641.1.6
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* Liana is resting in the bedroom and the group watches Lucera's carriages leave*
<DeathStar> *without a word or even looking at them to glare, they just ride off*
<DeathStar> <Celes> .. I will find out if they had anything to do with Liana.
<Seraphna> **Jaime counts the carriages as they leave, curiously**
<DeathStar> *it seems they are down one. A servant profusely apologizes for the accident last night*
<DeathStar> *claiming that one of the carriages, due to being so old, malfuctioned*
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'll back you up, whatever it turns out."
<Seraphna> **Alita is giving Liana a checkup**
<DeathStar> *Sasha was found unconscious on the floor by a nymph and seems a little shakey and confused, with a pendant in her hand. So far she seems okay*
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods to Asha* Well it was busted up pretty bad. But maybe we can find some clues.
<DeathStar> *Gwen moves outside through the snow to give it a look over one last time
<Seraphna> Jaime> Lana, can you use science or something to tell how old the cart actually was?
<Seraphna> *Talia helps Gwen**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *walks along with Gwen* "I'm actyually fairly good at mysteries."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks to see about the status of the brakes or whatever means the carriage uses to keep fromrolling wildly*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I wonder what Sasha will do about her mom and the marriage problem. I mean it's likely her mom will cut her out of the family due to this snub thing. <Celes> I will support my sister in any way. <Selena> I just wonder where Sasha will go from here.
<DeathStar> <Selena> And her mom does not seem like a woman to back down easily from the throne.
<DeathStar> *the carriage looks to be really old - it probably was made when Celes and Sasha were kids*
<Seraphna> Jaime> She doesn't retain the dellusion she's ever going to have it now does she?
<DeathStar> <Celes> If I were to die, Sasha to die, and Selena were to die. She could have the throne until Luna was of age.
<DeathStar> *she muses*
<DeathStar> (and Liana)
<Alicia> <Asha> "We'll just have to make sure that doesn't happen, then."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Asha, you're like wolf right
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Can you wolf sense anything
<Jackieness> <Lana> "At least a quarter century old, based on these smithmarks. Name, date, etc."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Where is Luna right now anyway?
<Alicia> * Asha tries, including sniffing around
<DeathStar> *Selena points behind Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Behind you right now.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *climbs into the wreckage and looks for clues*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks around** Oo?
<DeathStar> *Asha picks up a scent.
<DeathStar> *while Lana finds no clues yet. Keep looking*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *keeps looking*
<DeathStar> *Asha's scent leads to what looks to be a torn piece of a servant uniform*
<Alicia> * Asha's wolf-ears prick up, because this is a thing. "I smell something!"
<Seraphna> Talia> The servant's uniform... hmmm... **puts on a detective hat**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> When you have something let me know. *He says as Lana is launched due to a seat spring*
<Alicia> <Asha> "I bet it was that woman."
<DeathStar> *Gwen takes it as Asha leads to it, putting it into a bag* Well, when we come across a servant with the same smell Asha can jump them
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Waaaaaah!"
<DeathStar> *Lana lands comically on a horse*
<DeathStar> *The horse freaks out and rides wildly over to the carriage and throws Lana onto the jump pile where she lands and finds a clue*
<Jackieness> <Lana> /lana "...found...something... gaaaah..." *holds it up*
<DeathStar> *that it looks like someone sabotaged the circuits to make it jump forward by shortciruiting them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...this was clearly... shorted out... with a tool."
<Seraphna> Talia> Lana smart and Acrobatic!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ehhhhh..." *flops*
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods to Asha, Talia and Lana* Well, we have two clues
<Sara> * Luna stumbles around the scene
<Sara> * Unwatched
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We know a servant did this with a tool to short it out. And it was probably one of her's
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We just need to find out which one and we can have Sparkling torture the info out of them by using her magik to punch them with the power of planets
<Seraphna> Talia> Want me retrieve grumpy lady?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm not going to torture anyone!"
<Alicia> <Asha> "But do they know that?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *leans in on Sparkling* Are ou sure?
<DeathStar> *Luna manages to find something as she stumbles*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm... not comfortable with that."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *sits and rubs her bruises*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Fair enough
<Alicia> <Asha> "Want me to threaten them instead?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Please do
<DeathStar> <Gwen< Lets go back and report to Celes
<Alicia> <Asha> "Will do!"
<DeathStar> *they all head back, not moticing that Luna has found what appears to be a servant's ring with a name*
<DeathStar> -END-
