<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.1.13
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* A new year, more school begins - yet again. Vesper hangs out on the PAX these days, mainly following Valen around, while the others deal with Taiga having been impaled on one of her club outings a few days ago
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga works on stuff from her hospital room, using her good arm to do work on her datapad
<DeathStar> *Rachael leans back in a seat at Katrina's, avoiding school work - glad next semester she'll be on Geyze full time*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sits across from her in the booth, eating some fries.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I still don't know why I need to understand physics. 6* He says with a sigh.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *walks into Katrina's and goes into her own booth, rather than sitting with anyone she knows*
<Seraphna> **Si feeds Taiga** Gotta eat up to heal up!
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sips her shake, sitting by Rachael** I took almost all technical courses this semester. Tailoring is pretty great~
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well at least we'll be done with the core shit this semester and can do what we want from here on out
<DeathStar> *Vesper peers at the two* You know, I hated classes, too, but math came in handy when it came to.... *she hesitates* I ran something. And it came in handy with it...
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes Si, eating with a Cheryl look*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I got lucky and Mom somehow argued that I didn't need the core stuff because I knew how to survive in deep space and astronavigate already.
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and pets her ear**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt sits in his own booth near the kids, a hardened expression on his face that's only gotten worse lately.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You ran a...I don't know how to describe it. Club?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt seems to be writing in a small note book as he looks over his datapad.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina sits in front of Durt, then slowly smiles for him, holding it*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *points at the adjacent building next to Katrina's place, attached to it on the other side that is not Shion's* That. You had something like that. *it seems Katrina has her club like place up and running*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Only fancier
<Jackieness> <Moira> *just orders a shake*
<Xanatos> <Valen> It may have been lewd, but I don't actually know. I didn't ask.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Like Athena's club?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Bartender T, one shake on table M.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Lewd? Not really.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin lays on a bench near the shopping area, arms behind his head and his eyes closed.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Some of the massages were designed just each sex. And some were universal.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If that is what is meant as lewd
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I appreciate the intent, Sabrina, I really do.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> You need to try this more!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She had horse back riding, it was pretty great.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well I didn't ask, because I wasn't ready to know.
<Alicia> * The bartender... tends the bar, as expected
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I will after something clears up.
<DeathStar> <Vesper> Interesting,. *she jots notes from them all and moves off, murmuring "space horses"*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *hears talk of the massages and just covers her face*
<Alicia> * And thus, table M soon acquires their shake
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... is she planning to open up something here?
<DeathStar> *Katrina nods to the red head in approval*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sips her shake a bit more** I hope so! I'd love to ride more horses. I mean... we could go down to Geyze and do it but...
<Jackieness> <Moira> *slurps her shakes*
<DeathStar> *as the group is resting, they get their communicator beeps from Lorelei*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh look. Meeting time
<Xanatos> <Valen> I dunno, she's just trying to get it all back together I think. 6* He pauses and glances at the communicator.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ohhh no, how will I read this chapter nowwwwww. 6* He says sarcastically and stands up.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *nods at Durt, then moves off quickly to the meeting area*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt quickly snaps his book shut, sliding it behind his back as he stands up. 1"Seem's like Lorelei needs something."
<DeathStar> *Rachael rises, pulling her long sleeved gothic sleeves down below her wrists*
<DeathStar> *then moves along comically covering her hands*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...I just got my shake... cna I have this in a to go cup?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tilts his head oddly at all the other people in their group being in the same place but in different booths and hmms before following Rachael.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *nods and has the assistant do it for Moira*
<DeathStar> *Taiga tries to sneak out of the hospital room without Si noticing to attend*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin snorts, sits up and rubs his face then eyes the communicator and moves towards Lorelei's meeting area.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan heads to the meeting, Si sighs and picks up Taiga and carries her along**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *takes her shake to-g- and ehads to the meeting*
<Seraphna> **Thena pops in on Lorelei's lap**
<DeathStar> *as they arrive, they find Yuki there, despite the Aquarius being on planet. And a Kaori present for some reason*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt walks along, behind the kids.
<DeathStar> *Thomas studies Kaori as they step into the room*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei turns from talking with Athena who is also present in the room*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hiyo.
<Seraphna> **Thena pounces Athena**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *raises a hand as she slurps her milkshake*
<Sara> * Kaori rubs her eyes
<Seraphna> **Kaelan's tails sway as she walks up, adjusting her kimono**
<DeathStar> *Athena catches Thena, her hood down* Hello there
<DeathStar> *Sabrina takes a seat and Rachael leans back in her's; Zegretta runs in a few moments later*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Sorry to call you all in like this
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What's up Lorelei?
<Seraphna> Thena> Hello Momma! How are you? **as if she probably didn't see her just that very day probably**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan curls some tails around Zegretta**
<Sara> * Kaori just waves, with a little yawn
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> That's what we're not sure about. *she holds her hands up, interfacing with the PAX systems - what systems they are allowed to interface with*
<DeathStar> *it seems Kaori is there under protection a little*
<DeathStar> *Yuki sits down and looks interested*
<Alicia> * Celeste listens patiently, relaxed. She's been reading up on "cultural studies" which actually means reading the local heroic fiction
<Jackieness> <Moira> *sits down, slurping from ehr shake*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> As you know, ever since you all first encountered Yggdrasil a few years ago, a few... *she turns to eye Moira*
<DeathStar> *fox ears twitching*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks and looks over**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *quietly casts magik as she sits*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm listebning."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Anyway, a few tears in reality have been occurring. Slight ones, not usually ones to be overly concerned about. *she says slowly, turning from Moira with a look, as if making a note about something* Such as beings from other reality or items appearing in our universe.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Such as reploids appearing, or the organization the 5th Column on Earth, though they have been low key.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Is it, a lack of control or anything like that?
<DeathStar> *Taiga takes a seat using Si*
<Seraphna> Thena> Is there an army of catgirls invading somewhere? I must add them to my legions.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt crosses his arms, glancing slightly at Kaori before looking back at Lorelei
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I don't know. Your encounter with "Duality", or whatever he calls himself these days, was abusive with the power.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Probably the tears will take time to heal
<Sara> * Kaori notices the glance, her own gaze lowering
<Alicia> <Celeste> "In the meantime, we just have to protect reality."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Taiga made a device to try to get a heads up with the tears and we detected something unusual. *she brings it up on screen*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Could we alter reality so my muscles are bigger?
<DeathStar> *a tear appears out in space, with signatures and numbers that make no sense to anyone in the group who knows what Taiga's device does*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Taiga, care to explain?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Why don't you just train?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I do. Not enough time.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I have time to train." *flexes one of her arms*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Did Taiga punch a hole in reality?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh yes. Yes. ...*she rubs her cheek* You know how people from this universe have signatures related to that universe.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods in approval at Moira's guns.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets call us Universe 0001.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena is from Universe 0000.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "The prime reality?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Because I'm.. *she eyes Thena* I'm vain. And because we are from 0001. The Prime Reality
<Seraphna> Thena> Which is even more Prime.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Or at least on this plain of it. *she muses*
<DeathStar> *thinking about what Fate told them*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "You don't get to be from a more Prime reality, Thena."
<Seraphna> Thena> Do too! Right Momma? **she looks to Athena** Momma made my reality so it's even better.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "If Thena were, then she couldn't possibly in line for the throne here since she's from a different universe."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Thena quiet. Let Taiga explain.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway, from there major events would branch out and make universes called 0002 like the Mirror Universe.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And so on.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> By those numbers, are you postulating that there could be thousands of realities?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I wouldn't be surprised."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well it's starting to become that. Remember things got wiped out. Or should be. That's part of what the device is for. To check. After Centerpoint broke, the multiverse was erased. And the Mirror Universe was the first split born
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hence designation 0002
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And recently thanks to Kaori, a new one is being reborn, like Cheryl did long ago
<Xanatos> <Valen> A new one?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glance sat Kaori again. 1"On purpose or on accident?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A byproduct of saving us
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway, that number there though, if you want to know what it means
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Is it a superior Universe where everyone is a Fox?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Is 0001D.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "What does the D mean?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's an alternate future of this universe
<Alicia> <Celeste> "...time travel?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> One that's signature that is matching Kellin and Elwyn based on the signatures of my device. And Athena and Isis maybe.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We're gonna need flow charts again, aren't we?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Sooooo... what does this mean?"
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Wait, really? I thought we overwrote that.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well theoretically you can't overwrite a timeline, just branch off a new one.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Good point. *she crosses her arms* It means that future is "appearing" briefly like everything else.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Who knows for how long
<DeathStar> *Athena muses on that*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> How many alternate futures did you guys used to make?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I can't imagine there's much there.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If you go into the future and change a timeline, it's not like the old one just goes out of existence, it keeps going, but there's now a second path time takes and in theory a completely new reality gets born that way. It's the Choice Theory, where every reality is based on important choices.
<Seraphna> Si> Before this tree thing, if you changed the timeline you fractured reality... so that sounds pretty resilient!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes. Erevis once said that every major choice made a new reality
<Sara> * Kaori pushes her fingers together awkwardly.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So whats the game plan? Can we even close them?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So far I'm not sure we have the power to close them.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Then find them and set up systems to monitor the tears.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Kellin is right, I can't imagine there is much left back home
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Well, maybe some bad things. It would be good if we could close it...just in case.
<Alicia> <Celeste> Yeah...
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well, lets go check the tear out
<ChadWinters> <Durt> How long have these tears been going on again?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Since that crazy Progenitor Duality tried to take over the tree, so since...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The end of 637.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They don't happen often.
<Sara> <Kaori> I just want you to know I didn't mean to do anything bad...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Kaori.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt scratches the side of his face. 1"Shit happens."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So fourish years."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You did something great. The tears are on him, not you
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin muses to himself, trying to think of who isn't already here that may be alive in that work, but sighs since there's no indication why year it is there.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And as for starting the multiverse again, you made multiverse full of life start again due to major choices. How is that bad? I mean sure some realities might be shit, but it happens.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But if you hadn't, we'd all be dead.
<Sara> <Kaori> I-I mean, I know, I just... you know.
<Sara> * She looks sheepish
<Xanatos> <Valen> In an infinite possiblility you're going to have 50% shit, and 50% good.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena wouldn't exist without a multiverse. And Momma Jen either.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Now if I had the power...nah it would've probably been way worse for us.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei rubs Kaori's head*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I can't say I like the idea of making multiverses, but..."
<Sara> * Kaori tolerates this
<DeathStar> *they all move to the EarthGov ship, the Tiger Cruiser and Yuki moves up it*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Probably goes hard against the Templars core creed. 6He glance at Thomas then Celeste.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I feel overwhelmed. *Zegretta has checked out*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, I suppose it is outside our purview...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So here we go again."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nuzzles Zegretta** I'll give you notes on it later.
<DeathStar> *as they all pile into the ship, it lights up a voice with Taiga's speaks to them* Welcome. *Chibi Taiga appears on the console*
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> I am you friendly Computer Guided A.I!
<Sara> <Kaori> ... *quietly* Taiga is a narcissist, isn't she
<DeathStar> *Zegretta nods as they all get on the ship. Rachael takes a seat*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Hahahaha, 100%
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> Of course she is!
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sits with Zegretta, Thena points at Chibi Taiga** Hello! This is Captain Thena!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *eyes the Chibi Taiga* What was that?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt pulls out his datapad and begins typing out a message before sending it off to someone.
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> *scrambles and talks to Thena* Hello, Captain! Where to?
<Alicia> <Celeste> I can't help but feel like Thena is one too.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... *eyes Thena, then moves to let her take command*
<DeathStar> *Taiga takes a seat and nurses her side and arm*
<Seraphna> Thena> To the space tear!
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> ... of course! .... where is that?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *tries to muffle a laugh at that*
<Seraphna> **Thena looks over to Yuki** Navigator Yuki will tell you!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Oh no no no. This is all you
<Seraphna> **Thena puts on a hat that says "CAPTAIN" on it**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen rubs his face and gives a big stretch as he sits there.
<DeathStar> *Taiga reads out the coordinates*
<Sara> * Kaori rubs her eyes and forehead
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'm torn between wishing there was a Mini Celeste, and dreading what you'd consider me to be."
<Seraphna> Thena> Thank you, XO Taiga.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can do that if you want. The ship needed an A.I so I provided it from my datapad.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But do you even have a datapad?
<Seraphna> **Thena hands Celest a paper legal pad with data on it.**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe you cna make this your project ship since the Aquarius got grounded while all the modificatiosn that were made to it were stripped out."
<DeathStar> *the ship shakes and Chibi Taiga acts almost like a Spirit, in a way, in how she controls the ship, or least Cam'dee in the old days. The ship takes off and the engines and controls have a glow as the Tiger Engines, having the 2.0 and other upgrades, work in tandum*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, the Aquarius is going to do it's own mission soon and will be gone for a time, so we'll have to rely on this ship.
<Sara> * Kaori naps.
<Seraphna> **Thena twirls** We are Girls... of... The SEA!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So I made a faux spirit engine for us
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I doubt it'll hold up well
<Alicia> <Celeste> "...joy."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...not inspiring condfidence."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> My A.I is not a Spirit. It's a complex A.I based off me.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But at least the Tiger Engine will be fine
<DeathStar> *the ship jumps using normal engines to the location*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, lets not use it if necessary
<Seraphna> Thena> Captain Thena has guided us into space! The... SEA of Stars!
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> *after awhile, the ship comes out of hyperspace and arrives in what appears to be normal space. You wouldn't think there was a tear in space here*
<Seraphna> Thena> Avast! Lower the sails! Scan that space! Swab the deck!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We don't have any sails..."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "And I don't think the deck needs swabbing."
<Seraphna> Thena> Good job taking them down then, First Mate Moira!
<Seraphna> Thena> Valen can swab it.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So what are we looking for?
<Seraphna> Thena> ...Who is doing the Avasting?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin steps forward to peer at the viewport curiously.
<Sara> * Kaori murmurs 'Hessie' in her nap, snoring quietly. She is totally unphased by the hyperspace jump and Thena antics.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I think we're looking for a gaint hole in space and time.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *steps forward and scans the area, and the ship soon detects a giant tear up ahead*
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...right?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Looks like it
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Do you even know what that means?"
<DeathStar> *Rachael looks up from her arm glowing*
<Seraphna> Thena> We need a HUGE space needle and cosmic thread?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I think that one has the mind of a child.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> How big is that tear?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan snickers at that one. Tailor joke.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen points to his eyes then to Rachael's arm as subtley as possible.
<DeathStar> *Chibi Taiga brings it up on screen for all to see. It is big enough for a ship to fly into*
<DeathStar> *Rachael holds up a rock and plays with it in response*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> That's pretty huge. Someone wake up Kaori.
<Seraphna> **Thena switches to a pirates hat** YAR! Do we head into the maelstrom, Ms. Lorelei Foxypants?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I admit I am a little curious.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "At least she's asking."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And if we get disintegrated?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Do we know it's even safe on the other side?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> This ship have any probes you can send through?
<DeathStar> *as she says that, warnings go off and multiple tears appear. Taiga sits up and she eyes her scanners*
<Seraphna> Thena> We could always send Durt in first to see if it's safe and to open this jar of pickles. **Hands a jar of pickles to Durt**
<DeathStar> *some tears cross into others, others off to the side, but one thing isfor certain - they are surrounded*
<Seraphna> Thena> Quick! Open the pickles! We're surrounded!
<Alicia> <Celeste> "...what."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ....it's almost like it was a trap. 6* He muses.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt steps forward, ignoring Thena as he glances down at the sensors. 1"Almost as if it was a trap."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 0001B, 0001E, ...Another reality altogether I think
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well it was nice knowing you all. Goodbye forever.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think this part is a nexus.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That or maybe it's reacting to Kaori.
<Sara> * Kaori yawns and rubs her eyes, having been disturbed a bit by the warning noises
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I am beginning to think you think everything is Kaori
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Oh, tear it! Helm, ride out the storm!"
<Sara> * Kaori fortunately fails to make out the people talking about her at that moment
<DeathStar> *Lorelei and Taiga both hold up their hands, a tiny bit of reality power forming*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "In that case... Kaori, stop opening rips in reality!"
<Seraphna> **Thena hops over and starts wiggling Kaori**
<Sara> <Kaori> Huh...? *she blinks, waking up*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Wasn't sure you still had any juice left in you two.
<Seraphna> Thena> Lemme see if I can fix it with this reality key!
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Oh no, we're doomed."
<DeathStar> *as Thena wiggles Kaori about, the Tiger Cruiser suddenly lurches*
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> One moment. We seem to be moving.
<Seraphna> Thena> I think it's working?
<Xanatos> <Valen> How are we moving!?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What's moving us?
<Seraphna> **Thena experimentally tilts Kaori another way**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...exactly what is supposed to be working?"
<Sara> <Kaori> What... did I miss?
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> I believe it is called plot--- *they enter the tears (plural)*
<Sara> * She seems unamused by being wiggled
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Scene A:
<DeathStar> *Everyone but the Tareh kids and Durt and Lorelei appear on the Aquarius in space, floating along*
<DeathStar> *er Tiger Cruiser*
<Seraphna> **Taiga peers around** Where'd the kids go? Did they find a better ship?
<Seraphna> **Thena
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well that seems fine. *She peers* ... Thena...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What did you do? Si hit her for me
<Seraphna> **Si flicks Thena's nose**
<Seraphna> **Thena dramatically spins and falls over**
<DeathStar> <Athena> *steps through the door and looks around* I heard alarms. *she keeps her hood down, and Ako comes around from behind her, having decided to see what her older counter part's world is like*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *scans for the tears* I'm not detecting anything on this side.
<Seraphna> Thena> Odd, it looks like mostly marked are missing, but Si and I are marked and we're still here. **she sits up, serious now**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei kneels by Kellin and checks on him*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'm okay, stumbled and hit my head on the viewport like an idiot.
<Seraphna> Thena> Hmm... so the common thread is they're all the reborn kids. **She notes after taking a headcount**
<DeathStar> *Ako examines his head*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Durt wasn't.
<Sara> <Kaori> So... we're probably in a different reality now...? But the others...
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin smiles and stands up, then blinks.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So odd he went
<Xanatos> <Valen> Wait, when did you tag along?
<DeathStar> <Ako> I was in Athena's quarters.
<Seraphna> THena> Are we sure Durt wasn't?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh? Sneaky.
<Seraphna> ((Psst, Valen not there))
<DeathStar> (Valen is not here)
<Xanatos> (Those are Kellin!)
<DeathStar> *Sabrina appears, posing* I am here.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Durt wasn't marked. Neither of us took the mark.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...Taiga any indication what reality we're in?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Your reality and Athena's
<Sara> <Kaori> A-And are we stranded here? ...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> All I can guess is to go to Earth. And look for a tear back home.
<Alicia> * Michiru pokes her head out, having been around all along, but quietly hiding. "I don't think it has anything to do with marks."
<Seraphna> Thena> Should work in theory! If anything it's proximity to Yggdrassil should help.
<Seraphna> Thena> Yeah, like I said, the common thread is the reborn kids.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Was the Templar kid reborn too?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Maybe? Thomas was definately.
<DeathStar> *Taiga works on getting the ship moving and soon they are headed back to Earth*
<DeathStar> <Athena> *paces on the bridge at the idea of returning to Earth*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Keep sensors going, there's bound to be dark ones around.
<DeathStar> <Ako> Geeze. *she watches the older Athena go around*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "This is going to be really awkward if we run into the templars again..."
<DeathStar> <Ako> I don't know. I know she said Erevis like did al ot of bad things in her timeline
<DeathStar> <Ako> But that's all I know
<Seraphna> **Thena slowly connects some dots** Momma...? If this is your future, isn't this where the first Momma Sammael...
<Xanatos> <Kellin> No Templars in this reality. Unless something is different.
<DeathStar> <Athena> *nods quietly*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... well, that's good... Mom's gonna have a fit though."
<Seraphna> **Thena looks somber for once**
<Sara> * Kaori is hugging herself, trying to keep herself calm
<Xanatos> <Kellin> This is a vile, bad, and deadly place. We should all be very serious and aware here.
<DeathStar> *they soon reach Earth, which is still there* However, the planet does not look as advanced as the Earth today, like it's gone through some things. Is the Dark Erevis still around?*
<DeathStar> <Athena> This timeline is where mom found the PAX and went on her take over spree. And Isis escaped to the past tochange things. It was thanks to her, the current Erevis found the ship. I think. I try not to remember that time period.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... I have a bad feeling about this..."
<Seraphna> **Thena hugs onto Athena**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin tilts his head.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Something's different, can we get some scans?
<DeathStar> *Taiga scans the planet*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Everything seems to be okay down there. ... just wow, their tech level compared to today is like way back. I guess I never considered how much they progressed thanks to Suisen technology
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Also Earth seems to be in a post-war state
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's taken a hit along the way.
<Alicia> * Michiru visibly winces.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Hm. Post-war. 6* He tries to reason out who the way would be between.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You have to remember - time would have continued here just like us
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If this reality continued
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Plus weren't you guys further into the future as well
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks** So... Sammael would have remained behind in this world, it didn't end...
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I was found at the end of time. But this is different to me.
<DeathStar> *Taiga lands the PAX* Lets find out some information. This might be an alterned alternate future
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A D-1
<Seraphna> Thena> This classification system makes my eyes go cross.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Do you have a better one?
<DeathStar> *Taiga huffs*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin rubs his chin and frowns.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Who's ready to step out and find some information?
<Seraphna> Thena> Could name it after we learn about it. Like this is potentially the "Dark Evil Naughty Grandma Reality".
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Fine. I will let Kaori name the realities
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Is that 0001AD, or... did the classification system change?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin glances out at the PAX they're landing in and then turns to move for the exit.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway, lets head for a place that has a lot of information and go from there
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Seraphna> Thena> Ready I thinks...
<DeathStar> Scene B:
<DeathStar> *the other group wakes up on the Tiger Cruiser, nose dived into sand. Kaori is laying on the ground, dreaming of food*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "...what just happened?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...did we... crash?"
<DeathStar> *Chibi Taiga seems to be offline*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... it looks like it."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *sits up* What the hell? *she looks out the window and sees an unfamiliar terrain*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt groans a bit as he pushes himself up. 1"What the hell happened?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Well. This is unusual.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers about, frowning** Where... are we?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen growns and sits up, holding his head.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta looks around, adjusting her clothes*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *stands up* "Everyone alright?"
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Where did everyone else go? They haven't left the ship, have they?"
<Seraphna> **Michelle steps out from the back rubbing her head** What the bloody 'ell happened?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. Sure. *looks about* I think we got abandone
<DeathStar> *Rachael moves to use the ship's systems to try to figure out where they are located, but what power is left keeps turning up unknown*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves over to a console and tries to boot it up
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't see what happened, just... we crashed, and a lot of people have vanished."
<Seraphna> **Michelle frowns, feeling out for Kellin** Mmm, nope, somethin' else happened. I can't feel Kellin.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "What's the range on that?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> You think they died when we were pushed through that tear?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So we got seperated from the others. 6He looks around getting a head count.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Normally? Pretty f'in far. When did we crash tho'?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's possible.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns and feels for the mark in those that have it**
<DeathStar> *as they are talking, something peers into the window and stares at them*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers up**
<DeathStar> *it looks to be a famfrit maybe, wearing medival clothing*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Aaah!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Did we crash on Geyze?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I was out cold when it happened. Sorry."
<DeathStar> *she lands on her ass*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> ...
<ChadWinters> 6Durt turns to looks at Rachael then out the viewport. 1"Is that a...famrit?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah... no it's not an Aurit then, that's a Famfrit alright...
<Alicia> <Celeste> *looks out the viewport herself* "It seems to be."
<DeathStar> *the Famfrits seem to whisper to each other, motioning at the pointy ear "elf" versions in the ship. Moira, Valen, and Rachael, before breaking the viewport*
<DeathStar> *and begin to speak to them in some sort of language*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *sits up, holding her head* ... ungh.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt reaches for his gun, eyeing them as they break the viewport
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers around for a doorway out** Let's see if we can get out, else I've gotta shadowport you all. **she ears flick**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That's gonna take forever to fix...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "That viewport is totally a design flaw."
<DeathStar> *they also seem to spot Lorelei, before bowing before her, then studying those with marks, kneel before them, gibbering at them*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well they clearly have never seen a ship.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ....
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Umm... Lore? Why are they treating us like gods now?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen rubs at his eyes, blinking in confusion
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... I don't understand any of this."
<Seraphna> MIchelle> Erm... I've gotta sneakin' suspicion.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Sooooo...?" *turns to look at the others*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Oh. Oh.... that's not good."
<Seraphna> **MIchelle points at Lorelei, then looks at the Famfrits** Angel?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt taps his datapad, to turn the translator on letting it cross reference and then learn and adjust
<DeathStar> *they tug on them to follow them*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Should we?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Interesting.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well we're not splitting up.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta lifts Kaori up, holding food under her nose*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Maybe we'll at least figure out where we are.
<Sara> * Kaori murmurs something about turtles
<Seraphna> **Kaelan helps Zegretta up**
<DeathStar> *the group is led with the strange Famfrits and they are taken to a massive medieval Kingdom while Durt's datapad works. It begins to pick up words like Angel and Chosen Ones*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Le's go then. Not like we cna fix the ship without Taiga."
<DeathStar> *as well was elves*
<Seraphna> Michelle> I'm gettin' stupid levels o' Deja Vu.
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the something Di'Neer, written in their tongue, a massive medieval Kingdom, and in the square are statues of many of them. Rachael eyes an adult version of herself*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Strangely, I'm getting deja vu too."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm not
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Why is my name here?
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> What the fuck
<Sara> <Kaori> Where are weeee. *she whines*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Oh you've got to be kidding me....
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think hell. *they take a picture of Valen and nod, then Kaori and Durt, perhaps planning to add them to the statues*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "An alternate reality..."
<Seraphna> MIchelle> Are we... somehow in that other future?
<DeathStar> *Rachael begins to glow with magik rapidly, clearly near on freak out mode*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Whoa, Rachael! Deep breathes!" *runs over*
<Sara> <Kaori> I hope Hessie is okay. *she seems a bit slow to process all of this*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Haaa haaaaa.... *she holds her face*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen puts a hand on Rachael's shoulder.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan moves over to her** It's okay Rach... we'll figure this out.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Lorelei, what are you thinking right now?
<DeathStar> *the group is led to an area with tons of food - apparently they are to be treated like heroes from here on out. And elven women and men stand about trying to win their affection*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> How to get back. I'm not their Angel
<DeathStar> *Rachael peers at the two, then takes a breath and just sits at the table, just slowly using her magik now*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Lore... do you know what's going on?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This is all pretty wild... maybe there's someone here who can help though?
<Sara> <Kaori> Well, if the ship really crashed and Taiga isn't with us... *she noted grimly*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> If I had to guess, one of those tears took us to the alternate future of Geyze. Or a version of it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Then we need to get a lay out of this place and find a way to repair the ship.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So we need to find a tear to get back
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... I'm guessing Taiga wouldn't have left without us."
<Sara> <Kaori> If this is Geyze, where *are* we?
<DeathStar> <Voice> Maybe I can help you? *someone speaks in their language*
<Sara> * Kaori looks over
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah there's no place with my name on Gey--- huh?
<DeathStar> *a red haired woman walks over with a queen's crown - Mercy, their arch nemesis*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mercy!? You're okay!
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Could you tell us what's going on?"
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks over at Mercy
<DeathStar> <Mercy> And so are you, Kaelan.
<Sara> * Kaori blinks, no recognition on her face
<DeathStar> <Mercy> You look younger
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So this is the future."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Where are we?
<DeathStar> *she also studies Valen, a strange quirk on her face*
<DeathStar> *Rachael eyes someone touch her and slaps their hand off - roughly*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hrrrrm..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I... might not be the same person... **She frowns** You're... you're her before she was reborn... **She says slowly, remembering what her Mercy told her**
<Xanatos> <Valen> After we get through still, we'll go somewhere and let you vent everything, get it all out of your system. No more bottling it in. 6* He says quietly to Rachael, not knowing who the Mercy person is, but pausing he looks at her at she studies him.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Do I know you?
<DeathStar> *Valen might recognize her as the person who battled Kaelan in the tournament a few arcs back*
<DeathStar> *with the scythe*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm Moira..."
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm lost!
<DeathStar> *Rachael nods to Valen and tries to relax*
<Alicia> * Celeste does not recognise her, however
<Seraphna> **Kaelan rises, looking her over** I-I'm sorry...
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Hm. You have lost me a little with your talk. But I can answer where you are
<Sara> <Kaori> ...please do
<DeathStar> <Mercy> You are in the Kingdom of Neer. Named after my lover who vanished after the battle with Gartareh.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen squints and then connects the tournament stuff...before his eyes widen and he sighs.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> On the world of Tareh.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh goddamnit.
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch, but her face falls just a bit
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods, looking a bit numb, she gently puts a hand on Zegretta's shoulder**
<DeathStar> <Mercy> And you are different from I remember. *she smiles at Valen* I like the new you
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So we're in the branch you kids came from.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta muses and leans on Kaelan*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Durt... I think we might 'ave all come from here.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. *she thinks*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'll assume the old me sucked then.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> It was probably to do with the halfling insanity.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Pretty confident I'm not from Tareh, Michelle.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I wonder what the old me was like."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Do you still have the problem where you are from?
<Alicia> * Celeste looks lost
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's... complicated.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...
<Sara> <Kaori> I guess the tear in reality sent us to the Terahn reality.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You might say we're just beginning to have the problem, where we are from.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Half-elves go crazier and more magically powerful as they near their 21st birthday. *no doubt meaning Famfrits in this case*
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...is it a problem here?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> We have been looking into this problem for ages
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So we need to fix the ship. 6He looks at Mercy. 1"Where's the most advanced place here?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Those who live past it are the strongest in their field, but ar a little .. .well..
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That sounds like a problem."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **shifts a bit awkwardly, since her Mercy explained to her that this Mercy never saw Kaelan again**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Huh? I'm half-Famfrit and I've hit 21 and I'm not crazy."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Well, that is good then!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I mean, compared to Thena we're all sane.
<Sara> <Kaori> ... Also, to be clear, I don't come from here or anywhere really. *she notes quietly*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses at Durt and Kaori not being from here*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Maybe Kaori can sense the tear then
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'd like to think I'm the sanest, but... that's probably not that accurate."
<Sara> <Kaori> The tear in Tareh to tear us back to Terra?
<Xanatos> <Valen> I have the problem. How do I fix it? 6* He says after a bit of contemplation.
<Sara> * Maybe she hit her head too hard...
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Well if you want to leave, I will explain it to my people you had to leave. They miss the Angel and the heroes. It has been quite some time,
<DeathStar> *Rachael eyes Valen*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "The Angel?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's not really our problem. 6He looks to Kaori. 1"Can you do as Lorelei suggests?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns a little** Lorelei is the Angel. Or at least, a version of her.
<Sara> <Kaori> I have no idea!
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Well, like I said, so far there has been no cure, but there have been remedies to slow it and some halflings have made it quite some time. Here. Hold on. *she moves off, soon returning with a satchel of potions*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses* Here. Focus out and feel with your reality power anything that feels off.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'll try the same
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...Valen, you don't have the magic crazy..."
<Sara> <Kaori> I-I mean, I'll try... *she closes her eyes and focuses quietly*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I hide it.
<DeathStar> *Kaori not only feels it, she feels her counter part in another reality, the tear to get there, and the correct tear to go back home - it's behind the castle - and everything*
<DeathStar> *Rachael rubs her arms, peering to the side awkwardly* We don't like... to talk about it.
<DeathStar> *she mutters*
<Sara> <Kaori> ...
<Sara> * Kaori makes a very strange face and flinches
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Something wrong?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Based on your face. You found it but something else.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Well Rach, we can always get you treatment, they must jus' not have the tech here.
<Sara> <Kaori> Another... another me
<DeathStar> *Mercy hands Valen everything* Here you go. *she smiles*
<DeathStar> *all maid like*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Who said I had a problem.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mercy, if you'd like to talk before we go... maybe we should.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Thank you. 6* He says sincerly to Mercy.
<DeathStar> *Mercy nods and walks off to the side with Kaelan for a moment - that can be done later*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *looks at Racahel* "...what do we not like to talk about?"
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'm concerned about this."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... I see. It is possible you were briefly split. Like I can do or Ren or whatnot
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets worry about it if the problem persists
<DeathStar> *she pats her head*
<Sara> <Kaori> ... anyway, I feel something behind the castle, it's just... ugh. What a strange feeling...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Anyway. *she rises* I'll be behind the castle
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's not anything we can deal with currently. Second thing. Do we want to leave the ship here? We won't know where we'll reappear.
<DeathStar> *she moves off*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We'll tell Taiga. She can deal with it
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets get the kids out of here
<DeathStar> *Zegretta muses and peers at Kaelan, then nods and heads to the back herself*
* ChadWinters nods
<Xanatos> 6* Valen holds the satchel of potions protectively as he moves after Rachael.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "First, we have to find her."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Not even with a planet of Dark Energy can I shadowport that ship anywhere. So I dunno how we'd move it anyway. **She nods to Zeg and moves to follow**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves towards where Kaori mentioned and Rachael headed
<DeathStar> *Lorelei leads Kaori along protectively and gets them out of there*
<DeathStar> -Scene Shift-
<DeathStar> Scene A Last:
<DeathStar> *the group finds themselves in a library of sorts, having been reading about the history of this world; it seems to line up with Athena's telling. Erevis and family lived on Earth for a while until events made her go evil, start her war of sorts. And later down the road Elwyn and Kellin and Elder Elwyn were on the road must have happened. The question is where did Kellin come from in this time line? Wasn't Zephyr already gone at this point, or did she evade the Erevis sweeps*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. Mysteries
<DeathStar> *Elder Andrea
<Seraphna> Thena> Hmm...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have one question. Your stories line up but I still have to ask, where or when did you come into this story, Kellin
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin frowns
<DeathStar> *it seems after all the fighting Earth began to try to repair itself*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I...was born in a resistance bunker.
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch, but she says nothing, not having any of the connection to this that some do
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We have the beginning and the end, but the middle part I'm still fuzzy on. *she nods* Okay
<Seraphna> Thena> Wonder if Momma Sammy survived... but so far not seeing anything about her.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Drasek and Zephyr had a fling, I was born, then they were both gone and I was raised by the community.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin frowns and shakes his head at the timeline.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I'm really not sure what'd cause this to happen...
<Xanatos> <Kellin> But if that's true why was she gone so soon? It doesn't line up.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It does seem according to records she was gone fairly early when Dark Erevis began to rise up
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Maybe it was different here.
<Alicia> <Michiru> The idea of Erevis turning evil still... bothers me...
<Seraphna> Thena> Well, Auntie Zephyr is usually good at vanishing when she wants to.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Erevis being good IS the anomaly.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "It doesn't feel that way to me."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, I can't argue that
<Sara> <Kaori> So I guess this is more or less the Fallen Earth timeline
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Depending on who encounters her when she loses her memory, Erevis can go one of two directions
<Seraphna> Thena> Yeah, I only ever knew Grandma to be nice... but Momma Athena has told me where she came from and how Momma Sammy and Momma Jen have beat up Dark Grandma before.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Her true nature, or her subverted nature.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Or the third option, the Empress, her true nature dulled.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *stands up* Anyway, I want to look more into you Kellin. You are a mystery to me.
<Seraphna> **Thena hugs on Athena**
<DeathStar> *Athena smiles softly*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Probably best not to look.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You have Zephyr's powers. How?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And are you really related to Mykel. Hm. *she looks dubious* You are just one big reality anaomly yourself.
<Sara> * Kaori eyes Kellin at that statement from Taiga
<Alicia> <Michiru> "It's not that strange for a dragoon's children to have dragoon powers."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> She doesn't believe Zephyr's my mom.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> This timeline sure doesn't make it seem that way either. But either it's wrong, or this isn't the same reality...it's different.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That's my point. If he isn't Zephyr's kid, how did he get it. Just musings. Kellin to me seems like a reality enigma. Coming and going.
<Seraphna> Thena> Cloning?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That's old news
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Kaori, can you feel a tear to get us home?
<Seraphna> Thena> A different Dragoon with Zephyr like powers?
<Sara> <Kaori> I... I guess I can try, I don't really know...
<Sara> * Kaori closes her eyes, taking a deep breath
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin frowns and stares at Taiga for a bit before looking back to the information he was reading over.
<DeathStar> *Kaori doesn't feel her other self, but does find the tear; it's near where Erevis' Tokyo home is located*
<DeathStar> *Ako touches Kellin*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Lets download everything we can
<Sara> * Kaori relays what she felt, although not so exactly, since she doesn't really know that kind of thing so 'personally'
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Oh, good idea. I...can't believe I didn't think to do it already. 6* He gives her a smile and then begins the download process.
<Seraphna> Thena> Is near Tokyo house, Momma.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *to Kellin* You know, a DNA test would solve everything. *she whispers after Ako moves off to download stuff, perhaps to study Athena's reality*
<Alicia> * Michiru pays special attention to anything related to Hotaru, Erevis, or the McCormick line in general in the history.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *whispering* But I won't push it
<Xanatos> <Kellin> It's really not going to solve anything.
<DeathStar> *Taiga muses thoughtfully* You cool anyway, Kellin. Just so you know. No matter the answer.
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and moves off*
<DeathStar> *you are
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin lets out a sigh, checks that everything downloaded then follows along.
<DeathStar> -Final Scene, 2 minute warning-
<DeathStar> *as the ship emerges in normal space, the other group appears on the ship at taht exact moment and two Kaoris stand there*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ..... ....
<Sara> * Kaori and Kaori do the Spider-Man pointing thing
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ....
<DeathStar> *Before they begin and merge*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... now there are two of them!"
<DeathStar> *Begin to glow
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...This isn't one of those cases where the universe is destroyed if they touch, is it?!"
<DeathStar> *soon only one Kaori remains*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> That was weird.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ...If we left the ship behind then what's this ship?
<Seraphna> Thena> Hey! Kaori! I have a copyright on copies!
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin checks to scans to see if they're still surrounded.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Taiga, we left your ship wrecked in some desert.
<Seraphna> Thena> License fee is 9,999.99 Credits.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen holds the potion satchel and looks around.
<DeathStar> *she moves to sit down and Yuki just shakes her head, piloting them out of there; all the tears seem to be gone*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "On some 'Tareh' planet?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .,. wait what?
<Sara> * Kaori just slumps to her knees with a little sigh
<DeathStar> *she eyes the ship right beeneath them*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That was... a bit unreal. **she wraps around Zegretta**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei pets Kaori's head* You okay? *she asks, even as Kaori has two sets of memories now from both adventures*
<Sara> <Kaori> My head hurts
<DeathStar> *Lorelei offers food*
<Seraphna> Thena> You just need to compress the memories!
<Sara> * Kaori gently turns the food away
<Xanatos> <Valen> We woke up in this ship, crashed in sand, then left it and returned without the ship.
<Seraphna> Thena> It only results in minor insanity!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...Rachael, we need to talk."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... okay...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Look. Valen will be okay. *she leads Valen away*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We'll talk later. Come on Valen.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Which clearly can't be true since we're currently on said ship. Unless another was created like another Kaori was created.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Don't try to understand it. ... All I can guess is the tear split things.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And made a duplicate, like Mom's power
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena will call the other ship the SS Thena.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "You don't have any room to talk about insanity being minor."
<Seraphna> Thena> Mew! Princesses can be minorly insane, it's in the bylaws!
<Jackieness> <Mira> *lets out a breath* "...feel like I'm being left in teh dark about something."
<Seraphna> **Thena paws agressively at Michiru**
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> -However, the end credits, a new tear opens up and a figure emerges on Earth, wearing a cape and mask, peering up at the moon. Lunar Girl.-
