<DeathStar> 6* It is a lovely day on the PAX. Maybe. At least on Athena's side of the PAX, which has been split between her and the evil Empress Erevis, another version of Erevis Zhenmei from another turn where they all failed to defeat "Duality". Since then Athena has been trying to slowly ursup the Empress in various ways, well -- maybe. It's hard when CHIP works for her. And the entire ship is against you
<DeathStar> 6* Walking through the market place with her hood down, which she always keeps down when in public, Athena muses once more what to do
<Seraphna> **Jennifer walks along, peering at Athena from time to time.**
<DeathStar> *Locket walks on the other side, being a semi "Empress" guard. Well, the Athena Empress guard, even if she isn't the real deal. John's daughter has her hands behind her head, all relaxed and never taking the job seriously*
<DeathStar> <Locket> So when do we eat?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I could go for a bite, what do you think Kitten? Thinking is done better on a full stomach.
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I rather not eat in a place where I can run into Truth. *she makes a note, walking behind the two. She glances at Katrina's bar, as if seeing if any of Lorelei's people are inside*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Still avoiding her?
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> ...
<Seraphna> **Jennifer pats her head** Wounds only tend to heal with they are tended to.
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I can quit guard duty at any time
<DeathStar> <Athena> Fine. Where do you want to eat?
<Seraphna> **Jennifer smiles** I won't press. **She looks to Athena** Katrina's? Or maybe somewhere new?
<DeathStar> <Locket> *just begins to move for Katrina's*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Well, that decides it.
<DeathStar> *as if just hearing food*
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I can kill you all just by standing near you
<Seraphna> Jennifer> It would be mean to remind you that the person you're avoiding is the only one you can't, right?
<DeathStar> *Wyrd begins to give off a dark aura, and moves to stand near Jennifer*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer forms golden healing light around her arm and tilts her head** Oh relax.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hell you all
<DeathStar> *Hello
<DeathStar> *Rachael glances over at them, then turns back to eyeing something in her hand*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *walks in and then over to where rachael is sitting* "Hey."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Hello Kat!
<Seraphna> **Kaelan appears to have engaged Thena in some kind of eating contest.**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances up at them walking in, his left hand tensing slightly before relaxing, Cel sitting across from him. The two resume working on something on their datapads
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm. *to Moira*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What can I get you all?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hey... reality to Rachael."
<DeathStar> <Athena> I'm fine. *she crosses ehr arms*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I heard you
<DeathStar> <Locket> *begins to order a lot of meat*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer muses, then looks at Athena** You sure dear? I was gonna order the super fish plate.
<DeathStar> <Athena> I'm good, really.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Eh, I'll get it anyway, that way Thena can steal food she likes.
<Alicia> * Michiru hangs around, looking thoughtful. The events of previous are still weighing on her.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Sooo... may I join you?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *motions at the seat* If you want.
<DeathStar> *Katrina motions at her bartender to handle the orders*
<DeathStar> <Athena> I guess I feel in a rut.
<DeathStar> <Athena> It's just a status quo lately.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *sits down& "...ok, what is going on with you?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Like?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Mmm, well sometimes that's not a bad thing.
<DeathStar> <Athena> It's not a good thing either.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You're been kind of distant."
<Seraphna> **Jennifer gently puts a hand on her belly as she orders her food** Well, we're going to be plenty busy soon with yet another one on the way.
* Chaintan has joined #TAW-Session447
<DeathStar> <Athena> Hm? Hm. Athena already teleported #2000 to another person to carry the kid. *she nods, then thumbs*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer huffs and leans into the hood to nuzzle her**
<DeathStar> *Athena nuzzles back - perhaps joking*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Have I?
<DeathStar> *Rachael shrugs* Just a lot going on
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Sooo... what on your mind?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs and lays her head down, Thena leaping up** Thena is Fish Stick Champion!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't really feel like talking about it right now. *she peers at Thena while Zegretta pats Kaelan's head*
<DeathStar> <Locket> *wolfs down food* Thish ish good
<Seraphna> **Kaelan huffs** Where does it all go!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...kaaaay..."
<Seraphna> **Thena twirls on her seat without falling off and then hops over to sit in Athena's lap** Hello Momma. I'm Fish Stick Champion.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "We all have a lot to think about." *looks over at Locket for a moment*
<DeathStar> *Locket peers at Michiru, studying her* Hey, nice red hair
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Thanks."
<DeathStar> *at that moment, a loud clap is heard*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt and Cel both tense up light eletrical energy crackling off her fingers as the turn to look towards the clap
<Seraphna> **Jennifer blinks and looks around**
<DeathStar> *Zephyr walks in with Ako, Erevis, and Cheryl in tight armor. Zephyr smirks at the Weapons reactions.*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Oh, hey everyone.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ...Somethings clearly up. Care to let us know?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl tugs at her armor and moves to take a seat, trying to shift and sit all cool like, while Ako and Zephyr move over* <Zephyr> Well, I was looking for Athena.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Mew?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> With Erevis and Cheryl in armor?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, because it makes me look cool
<Seraphna> **Jennifer tilts her head** New fashion statement, Cheryl?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Is there a problem?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Looks like Angela designed it for you.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl wobbles in her chair while doing one of her poses*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Right.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So... going to Geyze full time?"
<DeathStar> *Ako moves to the bar and orders a sweet drink* <Zephyr> I have some news for you, Ath. *As she talks, Riki sneaks in to a table to sit down, ordering something meaty*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> There seems to be some major activity on the other half of the PAX. Ako and I were watching security moving around while the ship seemed to be changing directions; on the way over here we ran into your mother
<DeathStar> <Athena> *muses at that*
<DeathStar> *Locket swallows the last of her food*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Will they even see us? **she looks to Athena**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances at Athena. 1"I'm guessing that's news to you."
<DeathStar> <Athena> *though Durt can't see her face, due to it being hidden under the hood, she clearly makes a face*
<DeathStar> <Athena> It is not like I talk to that fake Erevis.
<DeathStar> *it seems lately she is using more I's*
<DeathStar> *Erevis muses* I am curious what could cause such activity.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer muses**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, Erevis, what would make you do something so sudden?
<DeathStar> *Katrina polishes a glass*
<Seraphna> **Jaime steps in, blinks at everyone, and takes a seat by Erevis**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Ama or Megumi falling down stairs?
<Chaintan> <Ama> not me
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sudden movement from Mom? If it starts with a P and ends in "Rogenitor", she tends to perk up.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Potential war outbreak. A Templar fleet arriving in our system? Or something was found that she wants.
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods* Yes, not me--. *she pauses, turning her head slowly* Oh my. Are you done with your God Meetings?
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session447
<DeathStar> *Rachael orders a glass of alcohol, downing it*
<DeathStar> <Riki> Losing an election
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We haven't gotten them all yet, and definately not Garterah.
<DeathStar> *she sniffles from her table*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Uhhh... yeah..." *raises a hand* "I'd like to order."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And what would you like?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well. It's hard to tell what could cause such hussle and bussle. But we do have some insiders in security. Namely Ao and Leyeah.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Don't drink to much kids. I don't want your judgements or reflexes dulled because your knackered. 6He moves to get out of the booth
<Chaintan> 6* The sun goddess floats down to kiss at Erevis's cheek and nods*
<DeathStar> *Erevis gives her a smile and hugs* <Athena> Let us speak with them, then. .. I mean. Merowl
<DeathStar> *she does a false sounding Athena sound, pawing*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... weak sauce
<Seraphna> **Jennifer squeezes her gently** Let's.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Oh, I'm not going to be drinking... though I'm tempted."
<Seraphna> Thena> I will lend my kitty powah!
<DeathStar> *Erevis holds Ama's hand as they walk along.* So tell me something about what you think about shipping.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Wait, wait, what?!"
<DeathStar> *Zephyr and Ako follow along, while Rachael opts to remain in Katrina's bar.* <Erevis> Did I say something strange?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Cel, let Chad know whats going on and what we've been talking about. 6He moves after the group while Cel nods but stays near the kids
<Chaintan> <Ama> depends, is it by ship, packaging or relationship 'shipping'
<Seraphna> Jaime> **fixes her hair a little** N-Nothing strange about shipping. Especially shipping your mom with one of her old crushes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, Jaime keeps tryig to ship me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that not strange?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Ah, I... yeaaah. That."
<Chaintan> <Ama> very
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods* I thought so.
<Seraphna> **Jaime puffs her cheeks**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did not know why she wanted to put me on a boat with Kyouki.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I wonder."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Y-You're cute together! A-And that's not what it means!
<DeathStar> *as they walk along, they run into Taiga, who still banged up from her Fumoffu adventures; arm in a cast and medical stuff, but at least she is moving around. She seems to walking near the security station between the two halves of the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm.
<Seraphna> **Angela falls in alongside Cheryl** Fuu.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *glances at Angela* ... what?
<Seraphna> Angela> Love the armor~
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... eeeee. *she jumps away*
<Seraphna> **Angela tackle hugs her**
<Alicia> * Michiru watches with amusement
<DeathStar> *Locket and Wyrd eye the two from the back of the group as they escort Athena, pausing to watch the scene* <Cheryl> Would you get off of me?! What is with you?! Argh!
<DeathStar> *Cheryl flails in a girly panic*
<Seraphna> **Angela picks her up**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I swear I will punch you
<Seraphna> Angela> Been doing stuff without your devoted little sister?
<DeathStar> *Zephyr watches the antics* This amuses me
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I know, right?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *whispers* To this day I'm in awe at how Angela seems to not ever get intimidated by her.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Angela's just like that."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl punches at Angela, trying to take her down,but being halved, does little damage*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What are you, a freak?!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ...
<Seraphna> **Angela nuzzles her** Worse, a Bunny.
<Seraphna> **Angela makes a cute face** Y-You just punched a bunny.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina and Nicolette exit a resturant due to the noise*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... Should we do something?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I'm not sure who needs to be saved here.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ME
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I-I'm not trained for domestic disputes..."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl looks ready to strangle Angela*
<Seraphna> **Angela puts her down and kisses her cheek** So what're we doing?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl flees behind people8
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *pants, muttering something*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm here to do work
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Give her space, Angela."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have no fucking idea why the rest of you are here
<ChadWinters> <Durt> PAX changed course. Trying to figure out why.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> We're looking into what's going on on the other side.
<DeathStar> <Athena> ... Angela. Behave or get off the PAX. *she notes, her tone serious*
<Seraphna> **Angela blinks** I... wha...
<DeathStar> <Athena> *she lifts her face up a little under the hood, showing her eyes for once*
<Seraphna> **Angela's ears lower**
<Seraphna> **Jennifer sighs**
<DeathStar> <Ako> *pats Angela as they reach the security station. Sabrina pats Angela and there they find Leyeah and Ao*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is has been some time.
<Seraphna> **Angela looks dejected now, wind completely out of her sails**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina flails, not sure how to handle when a person does not respond to her magical cheer up touc*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *rests a hand on Sabrina's shoulder and shrugs helplessly*
<Seraphna> **Angela looks confused and sad, since this is how she always acts around Cheryl.**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina pauses and nods*
<DeathStar> *Zephyr pats Angela* I'll explain later since you're slow on the uptake
<Seraphna> Angela> Okay...
<DeathStar> *it's all she says*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl meanwhile hums, victoriously*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So who should talk to Ao or Leyeah? I feel it has been ages since I spoke to my sister.
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances at Ama, then the others*
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I do not know her at all. <Locket> Not me. <Zephyr> Eh.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm not friends with either. 6He stands there, crossing his arms
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Don't ask me."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... Leyaeh is more likely to talk, but she's less in the loop than Ao is.
<DeathStar> *Taiga rubs her head*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *approaches Sabrina and Nicolette* "Hey, I've met you two, right?"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina turns toward Reikana* Hm? I think so!
<Ariel> * Nicolette smiles politely, "I think, but briefly..."
<DeathStar> *Taiga walks over to Leyeah* Hey
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Do you like Earth food, too?
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh peers up** Oh, hey Taiga.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I'm actually from Earth."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Hm. *she studies her* Hmmm. I think I've seen your face somewhere
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Maybe."
<DeathStar> *while they are talking, Zephyr whispers to Angela*
<DeathStar> (just waiting on Sera)
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh shrugs** We caught something on the censors around Geyze and the bodies around it, so we're going in for a scan. No big deal so far.
<Seraphna> Angela> **nods a bit in understanding and looks over Cheryl again, this time with an engineers eye**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> But enough of a deal it warrants close-range scans.
<Sara> <Kaori> I heard someone mention food
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Kaori! *she offers a taste of the food they were eating*
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> You know a good way to get accurate scans from systems away?
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Nicolette and I were just eating this
<Sara> * Kaori accepts; that is clearly why she is here, food
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Care for some company?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Sure. We just followed them because of a girl's cries for help. *she nods at the large group outside this security station*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I-I don't sound girls..
<DeathStar> *girly
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Yeah, that... wasn't quite as expected."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You do.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina hands more food to Kaori to taste test*
<Sara> * Kaori eats it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Cute. 6He scratches the side of his face then looks at AThena. 1"What ya thinking?"
<Seraphna> Angela> You sound cute.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *sits down with them* "And I'm Reikana."
<DeathStar> *Athena muses*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** Maybe we can find out more by just asking directly? Have we?
<DeathStar> *Ao steps in - she looks a bit like Erevis, only shorter and a little more built*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "What's wrong with sounding girly, anyway?"
<DeathStar> *Cheryl grinds her teeth* ... nothing
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "The magnificent magical Nicolette; Off duty."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How do you become a magical girl anyway?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Come with me. *she tells the large group*
<DeathStar> *Erevis blinks in surprise*
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> **sighs with relief**
<DeathStar> <Ao> I have been instructed to ask if "Kyouki" is among you
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Why are you curious about our side's spirit?
<DeathStar> *Erevis tilts her head*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Oh, just need a magical talking animal show up and tell you that you need to use your dormant magical powers to fight world threatening giant monsters."
<DeathStar> <Ao> *shrugs*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Oooh..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... oh.
<DeathStar> <Ao> She said if she wasn't here, that "Ama will do"
<DeathStar> *Ao eyes Ama with a snerk*
<Sara> * Kaori blinks
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm not liking this at all.
<Sara> <Kaori> ... What do magical talking animals look like?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I rarely like anything to do with this woman
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "And if you heard of me, that's because I'm an idol."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It varies! Sometimes oddly intelligent ferrets, or cats with magic glyphs... or fatass rabbits that spend most their time lounging."
<DeathStar> *Ao walks along into the other half of the PAX. Locket looks around with Wyrd, Zephyr and Athena and Ako following. Athena pulls her hood down more as they find themselves taken to a lift and Ao steps aside* <Ao> Take this
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It has been some time since I have been to this part of the PAX...
<DeathStar> *Erevis steps onto the PAX with the others following* <Athena> We will be back soon - full time*
<Sara> <Kaori> Fat-ass... rab... *she makes a face*
<Seraphna> **Jaime, Kaelan, Thena and Angela get on.
<Sara> <Kaori> Now I feel hungry again.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *she eyes Angela at the rabbit*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well I'm guessing you're about to have a face to face with the Empress.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt steps on
<DeathStar> <Athena> It will not be the first time. Nyao,
<DeathStar> *Athena touches her face underneath the hood she wears*
<Alicia> * Kyouki picks this moment to appear, stepping onto the lift.
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances at Athena*
<Seraphna> **Angela raises her eyebrow at Sabrina. "What? I work out and my ass is quite a wonderful thing thank you."
<DeathStar> *Sabrina jerks and reddens and runs up the lift* I DID NOT SAY ANYTHING
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Mmm, well last time we battled her.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...right. That was weird."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Should I... call Sammael over, love? Or are we going to keep the agreement for now?
<DeathStar> *Athena takes a breath and removes the hood, showing her face. Her face showing a partial handprint scar on her face, no doubt from a hyperspace hand touching it*
<DeathStar> <Athena> I will not start anything if she will not
<Seraphna> Jaime> Y-You can both behave for now... I think. At least till we know what this is.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...ah, yeah, I'm not touching that..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime gently runs a finger along Athena's face.** You don't need to hide it you know. It just shows you're the bravest of us.
<DeathStar> *they reach their floor where Syiean, Ao's daughter, meets with them*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena has a reputation to keep. *she smiles though*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods to Syiean** Hello Cousin.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *loks at Nicolette* "Like I saidm I'm Reikana the pop idol."
<Alicia> * Michiru has tagged along, staying quiet.
<DeathStar> <Syiean> *they are lead to 1A, directly above 1B where Athena now controls and has made her home once again. 1A, the bridge and control center of the PAX, has been warped into a home/bridge combo. Standing in the center is the other Erevis, wearing a cloak and peering out the viewport at the stars, before turning to look at them, giving off an overpowering aura*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *makes a face while Ako peers away*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... <Locket> Whoa. I kind of do want to challenge her kind of don't.
<Seraphna> **Jaime doesn't seem phased by it for some reason, nodding to the other Erevis.**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks over at the Empress, his arms remaining crossed then looks over at the others briefly before looking back at the Empress again.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "You... oh! So you're in the entertainment business too?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Presently that would be like trying to fight... 3 or 4 Winds at once. If I'm keeping track properly.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Ah. Kyouki and Amaterasu. *she smiles and steps forward, peering at both of them*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I just... don't."
<Alicia> * Kyouki doesn't seem phased at all either.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "that's right!"
<DeathStar> <Empress> So what brings you all here.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina moves behind Durt, peering at the Empress*
<Chaintan> 6* Ama gives a polite bow in return
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances back at Sabrina then ahead at the Empress again. 1"I'm sure you know why we're here."
<DeathStar> *Erevis just seems displeased*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'll let the others explain."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "An idol though... wow. You must have a LOT of fans then."
<DeathStar> *Syiean stands by the Empress' side*
<DeathStar> <Empress> I do. But I like to hear people say it.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Fair. We wanna what interests you on Geyze so much you'd divert the PAX to take a personal look.
<ChadWinters> *know what*
<DeathStar> *The Empress TK lifts a coin up in the air and bounces it off Amaterasu's butt while she listens*
<Chaintan> 6*Ama yelps and looks back
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks a bit and blushes**
<Alicia> * Kyouki also blushes slightly
<DeathStar> *Erevis blinks then twitches, blushing and angered*
<DeathStar> <Empress> *nods* I approve. *She tells Ama - who knows why she did it, perhaps to try to poke Erevis into something*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks down, fidgeting**
<Alicia> * Michiru looks between the two Erevises, seeming almost confused
<DeathStar> *she speaks to Durt* I will tell you what I detected. Even if it will mean we will likely come into conflict
<DeathStar> *she turns to face the screen*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I imagine that would suit your warrior side.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Hardly.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt doesn't react much, most likely just making a mental note
<DeathStar> *she begins to show the readings from Geyze* At some point, earlier this day a massive amount of Spirital Energy emitted from Geyze and scattered not all over it, but over Earth and a few systems nearby.
<DeathStar> <Empress> The Spirital Energy was of a level even higher than the Spirits, but somewhat similiar.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks over at Erevis. 1"Your spirit friends should be able to help us pinpoint where it originated from."
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** I feel like I should have felt this... were we too far away?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Probably."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I could call Gnomey...
<DeathStar> <Empress> There may be reason it wasn't detectable. The only reason the PAX detected it was due to how advanced it was. *she motions* The spirit energy has a count down and it's getting "weaker"
<DeathStar> <Empress> Meaning something is going to happen in few more moments. During that I have been looking into anything similiar.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So more like a massive beacon or a distress signal that's losing power.
<Seraphna> Angela> A count down? Like it's going to go off, or go away?
<DeathStar> *at that moment, before the Empress can speak of what she found on record, the countdown hits 0*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Hm. Athena thinks we're about to find out
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks nervous**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks towards a view screen or whatever the Empress has up
<Alicia> * Michiru tenses
<DeathStar> *a spike of spirital energy can be felt, or heard, or who knows what. Showing spirit objects that can fit together being scattered, 10 in all, and a voice - while clearly in the Ancient Language, talking about if they are put together, can grant a spirital boon to whoever does so. A gift from the Ancient ____ word untranslated. To whoever amasses the relics, use it for what they think is proper, this is the final gift of the ___ untranslated.* *the words seem to be in whatever language is native in everyone's heads*
<Seraphna> Angela> This again!?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... This is bringing back bad memories,
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes over at Angela then Erevis. 1"What are you talking about?" 6He looks at them expectantly.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer looks pale suddenly, since this is associated with a very traumatic thing for her**
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...*her eyes change color to blue*
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I am clueless. Like what?
<DeathStar> <Locket> ... Hm?
<Seraphna> Angela> The Gift of the Ancients... a long while ago, there was a contest that happened, the winner got a wish, we used it to wish Zephyr back to life.
<DeathStar> *The Empress closes her eyes* Well. That is that. Are you happy now?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> In our case it was my race. The Progenitors
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And it was not spirit based.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And if the Ancients were our counterparts in the other world... is this their equivalent?
<DeathStar> <Athena> This said a spirital boon.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt's arm tenses a bit as he get's a slightly dangerous look on his face. 1"And it worked?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Zephyr is here, is she not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thanks to Chad Winters.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr turns and steps out of the room*
<Seraphna> **Angela sighs and moves after her**
<DeathStar> *Taiga taps her face* Well. This seems like the ultimate adventure*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt turns and moves to leave.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Just need to get 10 of these huh
<DeathStar> *Taiga steps out herself*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm reminded of the runes."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not like where this is going.
<Seraphna> Thena> Then we summon the ancient spirit of something and wish for Thena's eternal conquest of the galaxy! ...Or a Ham Sandwich.
<DeathStar> *she notes to Ama*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt hits the lower button on the elevator, his foot tapping in impatiently
<DeathStar> *the Empress walks over to Ama and Kyouki* Well. It was nice to see you again. Hopefully we can speak again soon. Though I must prepare soon. *she has Syiean escort them out of the room*
<DeathStar> *Erevis makes a face and heads out; Reikana and Nicolette, meanwhile, would have heard the voice in the head themselves*
<DeathStar> *while talking about idols*
<DeathStar> *as everyone converges in the food court, Taiga begins to pull out her datapad, making a note* <Taiga> So who all will want to go for these things. What bad guys. They're our main competition. And who among us will we have to compete with.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...what... was that?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga writes Cran's name, that one bad Progenitor's name, and a few other's*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It did occur to me that Garterah, if he heard it, will want these badly.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh yeah. Him. *she adds him, but seems a little dismissive.*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> T-This seems kind of over my magical grade.
<Seraphna> Angela> You don't actually think Alex is going to go for it do you?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "So, how many people heard it?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks out at the marketplace with people looking confused*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... oh, everyone
<Seraphna> Thena> I can see it now, Thena, Eternal Kitty Empress of Love.
<Alicia> * Celeste wanders over. "What was that voice?"
<DeathStar> <Athena> I am afraid I plan to win
<DeathStar> <Athena> And win my PAX back
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Anyway... I actually used to have more fans."
<DeathStar> *Athena pulla her hood up*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...that sounded like some existential level magic."
<Seraphna> Thena> If I win I'll win PAX back for Mommy.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena will win and win her PAX back
<Seraphna> Thena> It will be a duchy of Thena's Galactic Empire.
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes the two, deadpanning* Winning the PAX back with magik seems ... cheating
<Sara> * Kaori bites into a burger ravenously. She isn't paying much mind to it all.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> That moment you don't know if one of them is serious.
<Seraphna> Thena> Since Thena never ruled yet, will not be winning PAX Back, will just be winning it!
<DeathStar> *Wyrd moves off to Lemon to have them get ready*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Oh no, we've entered kitten logic.
<Seraphna> **Jaime seems to keep to herself, musing.**
<DeathStar> <Athena> *pulls Thena by the ear to compete with her on who should win the PAC
<DeathStar> *Cheryl meanwhile just gets the hell out of there*
<DeathStar> *Erevis hugs on Ama's arm * I will go confer with Ama on the matter
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And meet up with you all later.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina turns to Nicolette* I suppose your team will want to win this too, right?
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, then seems to vanish as they're close enough to Geyze**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Oh hey, you're back." *looks at sabrina*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *blinks* "Oh... probably someone will. I never actually considered that."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *to Reikana and Nicolette* So um what were you two talking about? (for mini stuff)
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFt-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Celes leans back in her seat, musing on the voice* So what do you all make of it?
<DeathStar> *she peers out at the snow on the ground as Nicolette and Jaime make their way back to the Academy*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Prank, right?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I... should make sure the spirit balls don't fall into the wrong hands."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Probably one of those tests of character deals... like if you make the wrong type of wish, the universe will end."
<Alicia> <Asha> "It sounds like the beginning of an epic quest." <Sparkling> "Yeah, it's time to find the Waku Waku Balls!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime seems to pop right in from nowhere, calling Gnome to her**
<Sara> <Liana> I'm wary of trusting mysterious voices
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You heard it too, right?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> Unlikely. Something similar to this happened decades ago.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "If it was aprank, someone gatehred then released a helluva lot of spirit energy to pull it off."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Considering what it promised... I think it's important that we try to win this.
<ChadWinters> <Id> A fair question would be how far are any of you willing to go to retrieve these items?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Hm
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What are you even saying?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> Something this powerful may require killing people to get.
<DeathStar> <Selena> It does seem too serious to ignore even though I am wary about it, too
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Especially if you want to collect all of them.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Actually.. did anyone pinpoint where that spirit energy burst came from?"
<DeathStar> (Pssst)
<ChadWinters> *Id*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If it promised a Spiritual Boon, it might be what decides things in our Spirit conflict.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Here is my fear
<DeathStar> <Celes> That we'll have to deal with enemies wanting this. And friends, and any on our team that might want it in the end.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We will. But.. it's that important. I doubt barely any of the other sides fully understand what they're going for, just power.
<DeathStar> <Celes> But I don't think we should leave it out there either.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Celes is correct. Anyone and everyone that believes they have the power to retrieve these items will go after them.
<DeathStar> *Celes looks troubled*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Good or bad.
<ChadWinters> <Id> This is something that may spark a galactic war.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well. If it's tied to the Spirits in someway, we have to do something, right? *she turns to Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Who knows what a Spiritual Boon might do them
<DeathStar> *Sylph looks up from eating fruit, oblivious*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Exactly. And Gnome and Terra are my future, I have to make sure that our spirits are the ones who benefit.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Would any of the odler spirits have any ideas about what this is?"
* Sathen has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<ChadWinters> <Id> And if that means someone else's loved one remains dead? 6It turns to look at Jaime
* Stretch has joined #TAW-Session447
<Seraphna> Jaime> That's going to be the case no matter who wins, Id.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We've all lost people in our lives.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Agreed. So I ask my question again, how far are some of you willing to go?
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... *lets out a breath* Alright. *she stands up* Let us begin the search. *she pulls Liana close*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We'll see. I won't do evil actions to complete this task... but I will go every mile I can for my family.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I vote we ignore the evil angel on our shoulder and do what we think is best
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Agreed.
<DeathStar> <Selena> *she glances down,though she seems troubled*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... Oh. Right, I'm not going to do anything evil either."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Journey Before Destination, and all that.
<ChadWinters> <Id> I look forward to seeing just how far everyone is willing to go. It will make excellent data to learn from.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I don't want to start a war, but if it's that important... won't someone else do that anyway?"
<Alicia> <Asha> "...ow."
<DeathStar> <Celes> *rubs her face* Okay. Let us do this. *she nods*
