<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.2.23 - a month after 450
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> 6* After the events of 450, time marches onward - as stuff in Fumoffu (to be RPed later, this month is being left opened since arcs and stuff will be going on long past April and this month will be used for them), the team has been using it to deal with the aftermath of everything (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* Chad has had Dawn and Aya leave back to PAX, being Chad, along with other events. Kyouki has done things to be done in upcoming Fumoffu events. The group has been gotten the Aquarius ready go to into the Mirror Universe. Tsukiyomi's body has been taken to the moon to be healed.
<DeathStar> 6* And there are rumors that Zayne is still around
<DeathStar> *Erevis bows to the group as the Aquarius is being loaded up with food and supplies* I am afraid I cannot join you all
<DeathStar> *Celes blinks*
<DeathStar> *Selena has been packing her bags, her hair fully restored by now* Why not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been requested to work with Rachael Hilund and I am afraid I am not nearly done yet. So I will remain here to continue helping her. *she turns to Kyouki* But I believe you should go to the Mirror Universe and seek out this "Spirit Realm".
* Retrieving #TAW-Session451 modes...
<Sara> <Ellie> Why are you saying it like that? Like it's not a real thing?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *head tilts* I am not indicating it is not. I merely mean it is something Kyouki should seek because it relates to her and I do not wish for her to miss it
<DeathStar> *Sylph is packing a tiny bag on Ellie's head*
<DeathStar> *putting fruit in it*
<Sara> * Ellie deadpans, having very definitely heard Erevis put a strange emphasis on the words 'spirit realm'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I apologize if I offended. *She bows deeply*
<DeathStar> *not rising*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It's okay Kyouki, Sylph and I will look out for you."
<DeathStar> <Celes> *crosses her arms* I wish I could go but I am afraid if I left now that Hapian might fall apart
<DeathStar> *Celes peers at Liana, wondering if one of them should keep Selena in check*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *loads some equiipment on board the Aquarius*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "While I want to stay by your side... you're right. I have other things I have to do."
<Sara> * Liana makes an odd face, taking the hint as she moves over by Selena
<DeathStar> *Selena pauses* W-What?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'm an adult!
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... hrn
<DeathStar> *Erevis remains bowed, apparently feeling like she offended Ellie*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oh, hey! I can watch her!" *waves an arm*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats along and up the Aquarius loading ramp
<Sara> <Ellie> I hope you haven't thrown out your back
<DeathStar> *Celes shrugs* I will leave it up to Liana to decide
<Sara> * Liana eyes Lana skeptically, never fully trusting her daughter's... friend
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I care more about your feelings
<Sara> <Liana> Cel wishes she could go. I owe it to her to go in her stead.
<DeathStar> *a shuttle from PAX lands and Riki arrives with Ruhi and Celes blinks* I wonder what Riki is doing here. I know Ruhi still attends school here, but Riki and Wolfe left to go to PAX after the election
<Sara> <Ellie> I hope it's not an emergency. We have too many of those anymore.
<DeathStar> *loading onto the Aquarius, Asarar and her group are marching up, Asarar talking to Cypher as Asarar carries Bella up and Cypher with Cloé*
<DeathStar> *Riki lets the almost 8 year old Ruhi run around and play as she studies the Aquarius. Gwen moves to take his luggage up the Aquarius' ramp*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, I will go up the ship and join everyone. *Yuki is supervising people going into the Aquarius and supplies, waving her hand*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *boars alongside Asarar and Bella*
<Sara> * Chelsea eyes Cherie, peering out at the Academy and wondering if they're taking too big of a risk bringing the children... but she moves along
<DeathStar> *Celes to the group* Be sure to take clothes, and whatever you need. You do not know how long you will be there
<DeathStar> <Celes> And time moves funny there
<DeathStar> <Celes> You might be there for many months
<Sara> <Ellie> I'm not sure I -understand- time anymore
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Time is weird. Should we bring some of my sisters to join us?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "More spirit power sounds like a good thing."
<DeathStar> *Riki moves to join the group as they near the Aquarius*
<Sara> <Ellie> I'm mostly worried about... not having Neekito. I don't want to trouble the Great Spirits too much, though.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Is it wise to bring Spirits from this reality to their pocket reality?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Neekito should be around on the Academy grounds. One moment
<DeathStar> *Sylph vanishes*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Good point
<Sara> <Ellie> Is it, though? We've taken the spirits everywhere up to and including nowhere before
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi follows after her mother
<Jackieness> <Lana> *whisper* "SElena, I don't think your mother likes me."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Mother thinks I am having a sexual relation with you. *she whispers* She doesn't realize I think you're into Gwen
<ChadWinters> <Id> I do not know. This is uncharted territory is it not? Unless the Spirits have commonly traversed different branches/turns or are known for bouncing between realities.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...wait.... whaaaaaaaaat?!"
<DeathStar> *Riki bows to the group* Pardon me. But may I join you all? *she pleads the team*
<Sara> <Liana> For all we know, there's a Great Reality Spirit
<Sara> * She turns to look at Riki, a bit perplexed
<DeathStar> <Sylph> T-There is?
<DeathStar> *Selena looks amused at Lana, then blinks at Riki*
<Sara> <Liana> Did... something happen, Madam President? (disclaimer: talking about past presidents the same way it's done in the US most of the time, as if they still were)
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "A reality spirit... that would make sense, but what would be the difference between that and a capital-G God?"
<DeathStar> <Riki> I would like to see home one last time, and I'd like to show Ruhi where she came from. *She takes the small girl's hand*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Semantics, Nicollete.
<Sara> <Ellie> At least a few letters.
<DeathStar> *Yuki peers at Riki* Simon's already on the ship doing stuff, so it's your call Ellie
<ChadWinters> <Id> On the right back water planet even I would be considered a God.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> mama says its important I see it with my own eyes at least now that I am old enough to remember it
<Sara> * Ellie appears to be waiting for Sylph to collect Neekito
<DeathStar> *Sylph appears a moment later Neekito who is wet and naked from a shower* <Neekito> SYYYYYLPH!!!
<Sara> <Liana> I mean, I know none of us are -really- going to say no, but with a trip like this, there's always the chance no one comes back...
<DeathStar> *Neekito forms clothes, blushing hard*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Found her!
<Sara> * Ellie pauses and freezes in place for a moment
<DeathStar> *Selena to Nicolette* Sylphs can also be dangerous
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Sylph! Bad! No stealing people."
<DeathStar> *Sylph awws and hangs head*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Knock before entering, and don't teleport people without permission unless you have to."
<DeathStar> *Riki curtseys to Liana* I will risk it. It is not like I am doing much these days besides eating at this Katrina's bar.
<DeathStar> *Sylph nods slowly, listening to Nicolette seriously, while Neekito hangs on Ellie*
<DeathStar> *blushing furiously*
<Sara> * Ellie looks at Neekito, not saying anything, just thinking things
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm going as well, 'spirits from this reality' or not."
<DeathStar> *Riki leads Neekito up the ramp.*
<Sara> <Liana> Well, it sounds like people have made up their own minds. Who are we to argue?
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi scampers after
<Alicia> * Sparkling Justice heads up the ramp, not one to miss out. Asha pauses a moment, considering, then follows.
<Sara> <Liana> Cel, no hot secret boyfriends while I'm gone. *she jokes, knowing full well her wife isn't into men, as she goes up onto the ship*
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> *standing in the hanger of the Aquarius, Asarar stands off to the side with whoever came from her group, along with whatever children that was brought along, since yes - those who recall the Mirror Universe is timey wimey. Cypher and Asarar lean against the wall, Cypher holding Cloé's hand, the 5 year old looking shy and scared*
<DeathStar> *Selena double checks to see if Luna snuck on board, then relaxes*
<Sara> * Liana offers a sympathetic shrug, knowing exactly what Selena is looking for -- she's seen that expression plenty of times
<DeathStar> *Yuki is telling Yurica to becareful around all the children and not to push buttons*
<Sara> * Cherie trips and falls to the hangar floor right in front of Cypher
<Jackieness> <Lana> *sets up her lab*
<DeathStar> *Cypher helps her up*
<DeathStar> *Tora steps up and studies everyone*
<DeathStar> *looking like an older Taiga with paler hair*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats there, scanning everyone and logging in the vitals and bio signs
<DeathStar> <Tora> In a few moments, Erica and Yuki will be attempting to enter the Mirror Universe with Asarar and Chelsea's help
<DeathStar> <Tora> We do not know how it will go or how long this will go. *she studies all the children, smiling*
<Ariel> * Nicolette hangs out with the spirits, wondering if she can get extra credit for this field trip...
<DeathStar> *Neekito and Sylph sit with Nicolette*
<Sara> * Cherie dusts herself off, pouting
<DeathStar> <Tora> We have an area set up for all the children during this. With lots of fun things.
<DeathStar> *Riki kneels and points at at Cherie* You remember your classmate?
<Alicia> * Sparkling hangs out with Nicolette and the spirits, wondering what the group will be doing.
<DeathStar> <Riki> You two met when you were really young, too and used to play
<Sara> * Cherie shakes her head, unsure
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And Bella... if anyone messes with you, don't be afraid to cut them."
<DeathStar> *Asarar jerks*
<Sara> * Cherie having heard what Riki was saying to Ruhi
<DeathStar> <Cypher> It's true. You can ask Momma Bonnie. *she says to the blue cat. That's sleeping*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks and tilts her head looking at the girl
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I wonder how many sets of spirits this world will have... I mean, we have three in our reality."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>...kinda?
<Sara> * Yurica is running around and making low-grade trouble
<Alicia> <Asha> Hopefully plenty, and not corrupted.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi takes a step forward and gingerly rubs Cherie's head
<DeathStar> *Tora has Gwen lead the kids to the area of the ship designated for them. They find a huge floor with a school room and a playground set up, Yuki having been designing it for Yurica, doing it after Ruhi rubs Cherie's head* <Gwen> This way guy's. #TAW-Session451-Kids
<Sara> * Cherie almost takes a step back... but she stops herself, just closing her eyes and enduring this
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks at Asarar* "...but no datal shots. Just... make them back off."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Thanks.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Cherie, just remember, it took you ages to make friends with Luna and the others, too. Just give her a chance
<DeathStar> *She smiles*
<DeathStar> *Tora turns back to the others after the kids move to their play area*
<Chaintan> 6*at the obvious dislike of her touch, Ruhi takes a couple steps back, ears pinning to her head
<DeathStar> *Riki hugs her daughter*
<DeathStar> <Tora> Alright. Here's the plan
<Sara> * Cherie doesn't seem -that- bothered... just... unaccustomed
<DeathStar> *Tora has Asarar and Chelsea step up and motions at a screen on the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> <Tora> The plan is to enter the Net briefly and go through the Spirit Portal
<Sara> <Chelsea> I suspected that was pretty much all...
<ChadWinters> <Id> You can bring an entire ship of this size into the Net?
<DeathStar> <Tora> I bee nspending the last month dealing with that
<DeathStar> <Tora> Anyway, after that Erica, it's up to you
<DeathStar> <Tora> Everyone ready?
<DeathStar> *Selena nods*
<Sara> <Erica> We do as we must, because if we don't... well. You know the rest.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well, lets go to the bridge. *Yuki walks up to the Aquarius' bridge*
<Sara> * Erica heads up
<ChadWinters> <Id> Interesting. The tactical uses are limitless.
<DeathStar> *Sylph turns to Nicolette*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Well since we came from the Mirror Universe originally, I think there will be none
<DeathStar> <Sylph> .. Unless we were replaced?!
<DeathStar> *Sylph gasps*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It'll be interesting to see."
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** Has it changed over there?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Hmm. So a Spirit world that theoritically could have lost all of it's Spirits.
<ChadWinters> <Id> I am curious to how the planet would adapt to that.
<DeathStar> *Yuki takes her seat in the co-captain's seat while Asarar stands by Chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ready?
<Sara> <Chelsea> They're so busy theorizing... but yes, of course.
<DeathStar> *Selena looks eager, bouncing by Liana*
<DeathStar> *Asarar focuses a the Aquarius flies to the Spiritalist Kingdom, where it is snowing*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Of course it's snowing.."
<DeathStar> *Nicolette and Asha, Sparkling, and Kyouki would see a monestary like building with a giant Stargate like portal*
<DeathStar> *when suddenly Asarar and Chelsea focus and the world goes blue and the snow vanishes*
<Seraphna> Talia> Gasp! The world is blue... Talia mode?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *takes readings!*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I.. hate this place
<DeathStar> *she frowns, no longer eating her fruit. Even Neekito looks uneasy, her tail swishing like an angry cat*
<Alicia> <Asha> "What just happened?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *blinks, trying to take in and make sense of this*
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would seem those present are experience side effects.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Spirits normally aren't supposed to go into the Net... per se
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We're in the Net.
<Seraphna> **Jaime checks on Gnome, concerned at that line**
<Alicia> * Kyouki remains quiet, actually concerned now.
<DeathStar> *Gnome wouldn't have come, afraid to leave Geyze*
<Seraphna> **Jaime is less concerned**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "That was... freaky, to say the least."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Alright, I guess it's time. *Sylph stands and vanishes*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I always hated a Net insertion."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Thank you for not calling it an 'upload'
<DeathStar> *Outside on the viewscreen, they see Sylph touching the portal*
<DeathStar> *and it begins to "dial*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "That would just be silly."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Be prepared
<ChadWinters> <Id> Is this when those creatures will erupt outwards?
<Sara> <Erica> Be prepared for anything, really.
<Sara> <Erica> We don't really know for certain what will happen, just theoretical. Good theoretical, but, I never fully trust theories.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Just be glad the Aquarius is shielding you and allowing you to be here. The Spirit shielding is working *she muses*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Well, rely on instinct then."
<DeathStar> *Mireille watches, looking like she is feeling a little - off herself as Sylph warps back in. The Portal gate opens and these strange dark blob monsters begin to pour through and head for the ship, going right for it; on the other side of the portal is a ruined Spirital Kingdom*
<ChadWinters> <Id> I will rely on my programming. Worse case, the memory this this shell holds will be lost.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I guess we better gun it!
<Sara> <Erica> Not a problem.
<DeathStar> *the monsters begin to attach to the Aquarius' shields, trying to attack and the ship rocks*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Hey, if we get through that portal, won't be be okay then?"
<Sara> <Erica> I'm trying-- *she notes*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I hope so.
<DeathStar> *Mireille enters her spirit chamber and gives Erica spirit engine powers, moving the Aquarius forward toward the portal. More and more of the strange icky monsters attack, slamming into the viewport*
<Seraphna> Jaime> What the heck ARE those things?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Uh... *tries to work the scannerS*
<Sara> * Erica takes manual control over the navigation, given how dangerous this situation is
<DeathStar> *Neekito helps*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Get me a sample if you can!"
<Seraphna> **Cookie frowns rubbing her head**
<DeathStar> *Erica busts through and they are on the other side*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright lets get us out of the Net.
<ChadWinters> <Id> We never fully determined. Perhaps we should shut the gate before we do.
<Sara> <Erica> Well, that was easier than I thought...?
<Ariel> * Nicolette grips her seat, feeling a bit helpless with this ship stuff
<DeathStar> *right as Erica says that shields die*
<Sara> <Erica> Fuck.
<DeathStar> *and Mireille screams*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Shields are down!
<DeathStar> *it looks like all spirit power are being eaten - the monsters are literally eating all spirit power*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ...
<DeathStar> <Sylph> W-What
<Seraphna> **Alita taps the floor with her staff and tries to form a shield.**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm having trouble exiting the Net
<Sara> <Erica> Fire on the remaining monsters. We don't have time to do much else.
<Alicia> * Sparkling likewise attempts to shield the ship, much less expertly.
<Sara> <Erica> If we can break from them then it's enough for us to move on to another step in a constantly developing plan.
<DeathStar> *Gwen does so; the shield is keeping the mosnters from eating Mireille's life energy or getting in to get to Sylph and neekito*
<DeathStar> *prepare yourself to see if you can shake them off*
<Seraphna> **Luci grumbles and touches the ship floor, creating an Aegis around it**
<DeathStar> Up, down, Left, Right, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up, Down, Right, Left, Down, Up

<Alicia> D,U,R,L,U,D,U,LRUDULRUD
<DeathStar> *the monsters are shaken off and suddenly they snap out of the net*
<DeathStar> *Asarar falls to her knees* Haaa
<DeathStar> *Neekito lets out a breath* I got us some scans
<Sara> <Erica> Bloody hell. *she goes to deactivate the spirit engine for Mirei's sake*
<ChadWinters> <Id> It seems the Ship and everyone on it has survived the trip.
<DeathStar> *Mireille comes out and looks wobbily*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well... this has been an experience..."
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Haaaa.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Rest up. That can't have been healthy."
<Sara> <Erica> Mireille! Are you all right!?
<Ariel> <NIcolette> "We've barely started..."
<Sara> <Erica> *over her shoulder* I want a full report. Damage, systems, possible locations... anything.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I hope this isn't a taste of what's to come."
<DeathStar> *the sky looks dark here; before them is the same monestary, only it looks completely ruined, with cracks and as if smoething completely ate away at it in places. The entire area is barren and there is no snow here, despite it being a snowy area*
<DeathStar> *it looks almost like a barren mountain now*
<DeathStar> *the spirit portal is the only thing intact*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... this is a nightmare.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...it's like the elements have been drained from this place."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well... the creatures appeared to be spirit vampires..."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Nicolette might be right... with no spirits here and those things..
<Jackieness> <Lana> *mouths it* "...what if they are undead spirit sprites?!"
<ChadWinters> <Id> And this is the place we wanted to go to?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I get why Gnome didn't want to come... imagine what would happen to Geyze if we took them all with us.
<DeathStar> *Mireille sits down* I felt like they were eating my life
<Sara> <Ellie> Sylphie... are you... are you okay?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> But I'll be okay..
<ChadWinters> <Id> I have an idea now.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Yes. They didn't get to me thanks to those shields
<Sara> * Ellie hugs on Neekito
<Alicia> * Kyouki hugs Mireille. "Take it easy, okay?"
<DeathStar> *Mireille nods*
<Sara> <Erica> An idea?
<Seraphna> **Jaime lets out a breath** Good thing we had them... they could have gone for the kids next.
<ChadWinters> <Id> This place seems to need Spirits. If we can confirm that. Then we have a place for the outcast Spirits to live in.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "If we can make it safe for them, first!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> But doesn't this universe have no more life thanks to Kaori?
<Sara> <Erica> Let's not jump the gun.
<DeathStar> <Selena> IT was all warped to our universe
<Sara> <Erica> Scan for lifesigns. Please.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Yeah, I don't think they ould go for a world with no worshippers."
<DeathStar> *Neekito nods and is working on it*
<ChadWinters> <Id> That is a theory.
<Sara> * Erica eyes the scans that were taken earlier
<DeathStar> *the scans come up on the monsters - it looks like it is some sort of anti-spirit thng*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Those... things,, were definitely more like anti-life. Maybe something that filled the void..."
<DeathStar> *it has no mass, just a sludge thing, but it looks to be the opposite of a spirit*
<DeathStar> *and just feeds on them*
<Sara> <Erica> Well that's gross.
<Seraphna> Alita> Not even Void is this... void like.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "*looks at the scan data* "....freaky."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Erika. Please scan this world and see if there's anything alive here.
<ChadWinters> *ca*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Bringing up a map of the Mirror Geyze.
<DeathStar> *Neekito does so*
<DeathStar> *it looks like parts of Geyze has fallen into the ocean - parts of the Dark Lands no longer exist, and the Great Forest has been completely decimated. The Legions are just a lava pool now*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Oh my...
<Alicia> <Asha> "I hate this."
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Kumen is just a lifeless rock here.
<DeathStar> <Riki> ...
<DeathStar> <Neekito> But the buildings are still there
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh great
<Jackieness> <Lana> "OK... ummm... what about Monster island?"
<DeathStar> <Neekito> That island is... still there oddly.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> And .. this is strange. I am picking up something near the Academy.
<Alicia> * Asha looks troubled by practically everything about the map, as if it's her home in trouble.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Wait, what?"
<Sara> <Erica> What kind of "something"?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> How are we suppose to find the Spirit Realm here...
<DeathStar> <Neekito> I am not sure. *she brings up the location for Erica to check it out*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "We have to check it out."
<Seraphna> Jaime> If the place lacks spirit energy then it's going to be the only place here that has some, right?
<Sara> <Erica> Well, laying course.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...and Monster Island too." *rocks on her feet* "...maybe this has to do with the sealed portal there."
<DeathStar> <Selena> We have a lot of mysteries to check out then
<DeathStar> <Sylph> The Spirit Realm is a place not quite on Geyze or Kumen, remember?
<ChadWinters> <Id> But atleast there doesn't seem to be any threats currently
<DeathStar> <Sylph> It exists on it's own place
<DeathStar> <Sylph> That is why the portals take you there
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "But, it's linked, right? There wouldn't be an academy if it wasn't."
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius soon arrive at the Academy, that is completely destroyed, outside the Ancient temples, but there is a strange futureistic tower much like the one to the alternate future*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Interesting. There's something that remains.
<DeathStar> *it has a portal glowing*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I wonder if the Spirit Portals work on this side...
<DeathStar> *She muses* <Selena> Or do we have to find the Spirit Planet...
<ChadWinters> <Id> An active portal. That would indicate a power source of some sorts.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well that's very portally.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "It is seriously lit up though."
<Sara> <Erica> Whole thing seems kinda messed-up to me... makes you wonder what the fuck really happened here.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What's through the portal?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well. If this universe was "Destroyed"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> After we all left. This might be the aftermath.
<ChadWinters> <Id> This is what would happen after that fact.
<DeathStar> *Neekito looks up* I have bad news
<ChadWinters> <Id> It's course would continue.
<Sara> <Erica> I'm not surprised that there's bad news, we're in the middle of bad news. What is it?
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Using the Aquarius' scans, all the planets nearby in range have the same damage. And it looks like the stars in the system are damage. This universe is damaged.
<ChadWinters> <Id> That would make sense.
<Sara> <Erica> I mean, that's... yeah... but we just gotta do what we came here to do.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> If the Spirit Realm is here, we need to do something about it
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Right."
<DeathStar> <Selena> But what is this tower?
<ChadWinters> <Id> There must be some sort of life though. How else would that tower been constructed
<Sara> <Erica> A broken husk of death, Princess.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Unless the damage is because the psirit realm was dumped into this universe..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> What if that tower leads to it?
<DeathStar> *he nods at the portal*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It could... that portal has to go somewhere.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Then we'll have to climb it."
<Sara> <Erica> Well, we should check the portal out. There's pretty much nothing else of interest.
<ChadWinters> <Id> The Spirit Realm may have absorbed some of the damage. That could explain why everything is damaged yet still remains.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Sylph. Does that portal feel familiar?
<DeathStar> *Sylph shrugs* Kind of. I think we've seen it before... *Thinks* It does look a little familiar!
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Considering what we've seen, that..."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Would you trust it for us to go through?
<Seraphna> Luci> I remember something about a portal... vaguely. And the kids..?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *she lands on Erica's breasts* Yes! For Science! I want to see something
<DeathStar> *she points forward* Go forth, Captain D!
<ChadWinters> <Id> I appreciate your sacrifice if this all goes bad.
<Sara> <Erica> You what, mate?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... *Deadpan*
<Sara> * Regardless, the Aquarius is moving on its way
<Seraphna> JAime> Pfft. I say we promote Id to head exploratory drone.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "For Truth, and Justice, and... wait, there are people called that, right?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> My grandma and that sword lady.
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius enters the portal and comes out --- into a place that looks familiar to Geyze, but with crystal spires*
<DeathStar> *and crystal buildings*
<Alicia> <Asha> "We can do it for them if you want."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Now we're in Crystaltopia.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Wow... this is a fancy looking place."
<DeathStar> *the world doesn't look decimated and has farm lands. Sadly, there doesn't look to be a lot of spirit energy her. The tower behind looks to be in the center of it*
<Sara> <Erica> *audible confusion* ... but does that mean -that- was the spirit realm or-- ... *she slumps*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Sylph. Does this look like the Spirit Realm at all?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Not at all!
<Seraphna> Jaime> There's... not much spirit energy here but that's rich compared to the last place.
<DeathStar> *Neekito scans* Bringing up the world map
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Do... we have an alternate alternate Geyze here? That developed without spirit energy? This is so much..."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Perhaps this is a fracture of one of the turns that was eliminated.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> I belive we are on Kumen
<DeathStar> *Neekito shows images of Kumen, then this planet*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I thought you said it was dead."
<Sara> <Erica> Well, our next move is to check out this decidedly not ruined tower, then
<ChadWinters> <Id> Has there ever been a Portal that connected to the two planets?
<DeathStar> <Neekito> IT was dead.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "This looks like the future that the Templars want."
<Seraphna> **Luci frowns** Yeah that would explain the lack of spirit energy... wait... did this portal just take us from one planet to the other and keep us in the same... I dunno universe?
<Sara> <Erica> No.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Wait, what... THIS is Kumen?" *stares*
<Sara> <Erica> I'm pretty sure it is, yes. Whatever, I'm taking us closer in.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Yes. *shows comparisons - their Kumen, the dead Kumen, and this*
<ChadWinters> <Id> So the question is then. Who built that tower?
<DeathStar> <Neekito> The planet formation all matches
<Sara> <Erica> Crystals. *she says with a resigned shrug*
<Alicia> <Asha> "... did everyone move here after Geyze ended up... like that?"
<Sara> <Erica> I'm pretty sure if we'd flown to Kumen without using the portal it would look this way too
<ChadWinters> <Id> But there is life here and Spirit energy. This very well may be an ideal home for the other Spirits to reside in
<Seraphna> Jaime> I guess we need to prepare a flow chart again.
<DeathStar> *As they fly along, they are suddenly---jailed*
<DeathStar> *hailed*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well someone's here.
<Sara> <Erica> Look, we went through the net, into Dimension 2, then we went through the portal, into Dimension 3. What these are, we can't be fully sure. Just look at it that way.
<Sara> * Erica eyes the hail
<Sara> * Bringing it up
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It gives me a headache just thinking about it
<DeathStar> <Riki> I find it fun!
<DeathStar> *Riki sips from a bottle*
<DeathStar> *from Katrina's*
<DeathStar> <Selena> It kind of is...
<Alicia> <Asha> "It's... better than this place's Geyze..."
<DeathStar> *appearing on the viewscreen is another Cypher, who looks older*
<Sara> * Chelsea's ears stand up
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Salutations. *she blinks and peers at the other Cypher with her arms around Chelsea*
<ChadWinters> <Id> She matches Cypher.
<DeathStar> *Other Cypher* Well. Look who it is. We thought we'd never see you again
<Seraphna> Luci> Whoa Cypher. You have a doppleganger.
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would seem we have entered a thought to be destroyed turn.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ...
<Sara> <Erica> This is Captain Erica Hildegard of the Kumen ship Aquarius. Permission to land?
<Sara> * Erica plays it relatively cool
<DeathStar> <Other Cypher> Of course. *she gives coordinates* I'll be curious what happened to you all. *she does a little wave and signs out*
<DeathStar> *coordinates appear at what looks like a giant Crystal Tower, with a makeshift spaceport*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I am lost. *as they go along, Selena has begun to sweat a bit*
<Sara> <Erica> It's-- whatever, you guys will catch up sooner or later. Taking us down.

<DeathStar> *Gwen leads the kids to the level of the ship with all the classroom and toys and books nd other things*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Have fun. Try not to destroy the ship
<DeathStar> *He heads off. *Cloe hides behind Cherie*
<Sara> * Cherie shuffles a bit, awkwardly, looking around for Luna and Fae, but absolutely not finding Luna
<Sara> * She then just looks at Ruhi, as if sizing her up
<DeathStar> *Fae is playing with a wind shaped toe*
<DeathStar> *toy*
<DeathStar> <Fae> *waves*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *looks around*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Hello, Cherie! Cloe!
<Sara> <Cherie> Fae
<DeathStar> *Fae hurries over and Cloe slides behind Cherie*
<DeathStar> *she holds out the toy*
<Sara> * Cherie looks at Cloé who clearly seems out of her element too, and then glances at Ruhi again
<Seraphna> **Terra is building something out of toys**
<DeathStar> *Fae tilts her head, peering at Ruhi* Friend?
<Sara> * Cherie glances at Fae and gives a little nod
<Chaintan> 6* Ruhi is easily the tallest so hard to miss, though a bit apprehensive
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> uh...yeah... Mama said we met before but were too little to remember
<Seraphna> **Nell pounces Ruhi** Hey Ru!
<DeathStar> *Cloé the tiny blue haired familiar squeaks at Nell*
<DeathStar> *her hair now past her shoulders to her mid-back now*
<Sara> * Cherie, contrary to the C'en timeline, is not that much younger than Ruhi... but is still a twerp in terms of stature
<Seraphna> **Nell smiles and paws at Cloe**
<DeathStar> *Fae floats about like a wind spirit*
<Sara> <Cherie> P...please excuse us... if we... have any trouble... *she mumbles*
<Sara> * Trying to speak up for Cloé's sake
<Chaintan> 6* Ruhi wobbles a little as she's pounced and gives a cuter than expected yelp
<Seraphna> **Terra waves Fae over to her growing tower**
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> i-its fine
<Sara> <Cherie> C-Cloé is... is shy
<DeathStar> *Fae studies the tower with interest*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> H-Hi
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> its nice to meet you
<DeathStar> *Fae pauses and sits down, frowning and begins to cry*
<Sara> <Cherie> N-Nice to meet you. Um... Ch-Cherie.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi turns away as Fae starts to cry
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> w-woah whats wrong
<Seraphna> Terra> Fae Fae?
<DeathStar> <Fae> I have an icky feeling. *she rubs her eyes, calming down*
<Sara> * Cherie frowns, never seeing Fae suddenly start crying before
<DeathStar> <Fae> ... *she still looks upset*
<Seraphna> Terra> **rubs her head a little** Does feel icky.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *sits in a corner*
<DeathStar> *Cloé hugs onto Cherie*
<Seraphna> Terra> **she does start to look less and less happy, but is a quieter kid so she just hugs onto Fae and puffs her cheeks**
<DeathStar> *Fae hugs onto Terra*
<Chaintan> 6* Pressing her lips thin. Ruhi digs into her pockets*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> like...a tummy ache or worried tummy?
<Seraphna> **Nell hmms**
<DeathStar> *the ship begins to rock*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Like there is no life here
<Seraphna> Terra> Like... wrong. Very icky. **She squeezes Fae a little**
<DeathStar> <Cloé> N-No life. *sniffles*
<Sara> * Cherie suddenly feels a chill as Cloé says that, just from the thought, even though she doesn't consciously understand the extent of it
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Blah!"
<Seraphna> Terra> Like... not near home...
<DeathStar> *Fae brightens up*
<DeathStar> <Fae> ... Hm.
<Chaintan> 6*at the shaking, Ruhi grimaches and pulls them all together and shells herself over them
<DeathStar> *the shaking ends a few minutes later after Ruhi protects them, especially after the ship spins a little*
<Sara> * Cherie would have fallen over if not for Ruhi, though a stick of gum falls out of her pockets
<Jackieness> <Bella> *looks up* "We're out again."
<Seraphna> Terra> Thank, Ruhi.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi lets go, kneeling down to pick up the wayward piece of gum
<DeathStar> <Cloé> T-Thank you
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> its ok...its what my dad does and says I should do cause Im bigger
<Sara> * Cherie is about to kneel down but almost bumps into Ruhi in the process; she gives a little startled bounce, avoiding bumping
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Now." *tumbles to snatch the gum*
<Sara> <Cherie> Huh!?
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks, holding one end with Bella
<DeathStar> *Cloé watches them*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Gum!
<Seraphna> Nell> I'm not so good at that yet.
<Sara> <Cherie> B-But... *she looks between the two*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "... ... ...I'll cut you!"
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> but its Cherie's?
<DeathStar> *Cloé looks afraid of Bella*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *lets it go, puffing out her cheeks*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi returns the gum to Cherie but digs into her pockets, presenting different wrapped snacks from individually wrapped wheels of cheese to round bubbles of chocolate
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> would this be ok? 6*holding out to Bella
<Sara> * Cherie accepts her gum back
<Jackieness> <Bella> *snatches up a snack from Ruhi* "Ok."
<DeathStar> <Fae> Sharing is fun!
<Jackieness> <Bella> "OK... I won't cut you... my momma just told me to say that..."
<Seraphna> Terra> Like fruit.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks at that
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> thats kinda mean but...I guess parents say stuff like that
<Seraphna> Nell> I gotta be careful about that.
<DeathStar> *Fae offers fruit to everyone*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Friendship is better
<Seraphna> **Terra takes some and nuzzles Fae**
<DeathStar> *Fae smiles*
<DeathStar> *Cloé hides behind Cherie*
<Sara> <Cherie> ...Cloé is scared of her *she eyes Bella*
<Jackieness> <bella> *noms*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Y-Yes
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I dont think she's all that scary
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> she could have pushed me and taken all the snacks
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Biiiiiiih."
<Sara> <Cherie> M...Mom says... you shouldn't rate someone... just by what they... aren't doing
<DeathStar> <Cloe> T-True
<DeathStar> *they feel the Aquarius landing*
<Sara> * Cherie falls over
<Seraphna> Terra> What happening?
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi helps Cherie up
<Sara> <Cherie> ...thanks
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> dont mention it.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> is everyone else ok?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Uh-huh."
<Seraphna> Nell> I think so... I'm used to being on ships though.
<DeathStar> *Riki pops in*
<DeathStar> <Riki> Children. We found the spot we're going to be staying at over the next few days, so be sure to pack your toys and clothes. *It seems Riki is planning to have them move into the Crystal Tower*
<Seraphna> **Nell whispers to Ruhi** Did we bring enough recharge packs for the games?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Huh?"
<Seraphna> **Terra starts gathering stuff, the tiny pink haired gnome like girl able to lift a scary amount**
<DeathStar> -End in here-
Session Close: Mon Apr 06 21:33:17 2020

<Seraphna> Luci> I feel like we should remember something here that we don't.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Maybe you were from this place in a past life?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe they knew other versions of you."
<Seraphna> Luci> It's possible?
<Alicia> * Kyouki is about to refute that, then pauses, realising it could be true.
<Seraphna> Luci> Or I'm more drunk than I think I am.
<Alicia> <Asha> "...this place is safe, right?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...hey Sel, are you feeling okay?"
<Seraphna> Luci> Wait... yeah. Should be safe?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We're we're we think I am
<Sara> <Erica> I wouldn't say you should assume it's safe, but for now I believe we can relax.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Right?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Feeling hot all over
<ChadWinters> <Id> Your body temperature has risen.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Alright... as long as I'm not going to be eaten by space ghosts the moment I step out of the ship, I'll be fine."
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius lands and Cypher walks out to meet them - so far no sign of anyone else*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *focuses on one of her cards as she tries to sense Selena's energy levels, worried something metaphysical might be affecting her*
<Sara> * Erica leads the landing party, whoever may be with it, down the ramp
<Seraphna> Luci> I think this was some alternate future we prevented. But... we left it kinda okay?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *presses a hand to Selena's forehead*
<DeathStar> *Nicolette would see that her entire body is changing and she's running a fever - since entering the gate, it looks like Selena's body is undergoing something*
<DeathStar> *since Selena is tied to this place*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "she is burning up. We should get her to the medbay."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sel!?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> From what I'm told, you all saved our kids in the future
<ChadWinters> <Id> Her body is undergoing a change. 6The orb notes
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...I-I think this is beyond me."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Selena, to the medbay with you for monitoring."
<DeathStar> *Selena moves to go then falls over*
<Seraphna> **Alita frowns, peering her over** It's not a sickness, so I can't just cure it.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Selena?!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Help me!" *tries to move Selena*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Is anyone else feeling strange?"
<ChadWinters> <ID> I suggest lowering her body temperature to prevent brain damage.
<DeathStar> *no one else seems affected*
<DeathStar> *a Lana lifts ehr, Selena seems lighter*
<Alicia> * Asha helps Lana. "Get some ice, or cold water, or...?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> I also warn that your magik may not work well here with Spirit energy being so low
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...oh. That's... not good."
<DeathStar> *Selena looks -- younger as they lift her*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That can't be good
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Selena is using neat magik
<Alicia> <Asha> "Is she de-ageing?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> She's going to hate that.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I-I'm fine. *she says crankily*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Let's make sure she doesn't de-age out of existence!" *carries Selena to the medbay*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "No, no you're not fine! This is serious..."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Gosh if Luna could see me now... *she notes as she is carried off*
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Huh?
<Ariel> * Nicolette is freaking out a little, for once not having an idea when it matters.
<DeathStar> *Yuki looks at Erica, shrugging*
<DeathStar> *after Selena is squared away, the others go to see Cypher, who is wiating on them. The two Cyphers stare at each other*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... what do we do? Just... hope things turn out fine?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> All we can do. *to Sparkling* Let Nico and Lana handle Selena for now
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats around the two, taking scans of each one
<Seraphna> Luci> Cypher, meet Cypher. Cypher, this is Cypher.
<Alicia> * Sparkling nods, seeming unconvinced, but with no better ideas.
<Ariel> * Nicolette stays behind, more concerned about her friend than this strange new reality
<DeathStar> *the other Cypher looks to be older and has another signature to their's*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Interesting.
<Sara> * Chelsea shuffles uncomfortably
<DeathStar> <Future Cypher> Well, it's been 4 years. Where have you all been? <Yuki> 4 years? It's been... Almost 8 years or more I think since we last saw them
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Threesome? *she jokes timidly*
<Sara> * Erica turns her head slowly to look at Chelsea
<DeathStar> *Future Cypher blinks and flusters, especially since she hasn't seen Chelsea in a long time*
<Seraphna> Luci> Yeah it's been way longer for us... we didn't even know this was still here.
<DeathStar> *Asarar boinks Chelsea*
<Sara> <Erica> To be frank, your universe didn't even exist anymore, from our point of view.
<ChadWinters> <Id> The older Cypher's heartrate has increased. I believe she is aroused at this idea
<Sara> <Chelsea> Oww! Asarar, wait your turn...
<Jackieness> <Kira> "No threesome."
<DeathStar> <Future Cypher> Well, we're a pocket universe. I think maybe our universe only appears .. .when it wants to? After you all vanished due to that Destiny guy, we thought maybe you died.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "That's familiar."
<Seraphna> Luci> We kicked his ass.
<Sara> <Erica> No, you don't understand. Your 'pocket' is in a universe itself, right? And that universe is dead now.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Because by all means. It should not. Something incredibly strong would have to be anchoring this pocket universe.
<DeathStar> <Future Cypher> ... Dead? ... *She muses* I see we have a lot to be caught up on.
<Sara> <Erica> Unfortunately, yes.
<DeathStar> <Future Cypher> But we have our own problems right now.
<DeathStar> <Future Cypher> *she walks, leading them toward the Crystal Tower, that once long ago held Miyuki*
<Seraphna> Luci> I'll say this, your pocket is super well hidden, all things considered. Who'd think to look for a pocket reality in a dead reality.
<DeathStar> <Future Cypher> First the good news. We beat the C'en. Kumen is our's now
<DeathStar> *she smiles at them*
<DeathStar> <Future Cypher> The bad news. Well. The lack of spirits after their hunt for them is leading to problemsfor us.
<ChadWinters> <Id> We may have a solution for that.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "And surprisingly, it's not me."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Huh... yeah this is one of those two problems solving themselves things isn't it?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "If this works, then yes."
<DeathStar> *Future Cypher cocks her head and nods, riding up the elevator and arrives at the top of the tower where the Future Kids are located*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Not suprisingly Kyouki. You're our universes Spirit. Having you leave would be destructive apparently.
<DeathStar> *Being 4 years older now, she is 26 and sitting at a console, the Tower being designed to look over Kumen's operations.*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, I guess I'll have to make sure this trip doesn't take too long."
<DeathStar> *it seems to be set to try to deal with the lack of spirit energy*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Yeah, we got here by passing through a portal on Geyze."
<Sara> <Erica> So did you know there was a tower like this on Geyze outside of the pocket? It was ruined though.
<DeathStar> *Cloe is now 21 and seems to be studying them as they arrive. Future Cypher clear her throat to get the kid's attention*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Regardless of Kyouki's faith in herself. We have a set of Spirits that desperately need a place to be worshiped.
<Seraphna> **Nell looks up, also in her early 20s, but looking younger still** Huh? Whhhhhaaaat. I was just... oh, hey!
<Seraphna> **Luci is tackled to the floor**
<DeathStar> *Cloé turns, looking a lot like Bonnie when she is older, cat ears twitching, her long blue hair down to her butt* Huh? Who are they...? *She studies Chelsea and Cypher, having vague memories of them when she was a little girl*
<DeathStar> *Seniga just leans back and watches Tora in the background*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Unless everyone believes we should just bring them all back with us to our universe.
<Sara> * Chelsea eyes Cloé, a slight hint of sadness in her eyes, given everything she's witnessed in short order
<Seraphna> Nell> Mom your back!
<DeathStar> *Cloé bows her head* Mother. *she tells Chelsea*
<DeathStar> *The other Cypher pats Chelsea*
<Seraphna> Luci> I see you chose to stop aging around where I did.
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Cloé. I hope... that you're doing well.
<Seraphna> Nell> Pfff... just happened that way.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I'm doing fine. *She smiles* I have to watch after little Cherie after all. Well, Ruhi does that mostly. But I help.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Hmmm....We know the Spirit Realm still exists. What if it's stuck between this pocket universe and our main one. That could explain how this place still remains. It would also explain why the remants of Geyze's original universe still remains albeit damaged.
<Sara> * Chelsea mimes counting on her fingers. "...But wouldn't Cherie be old enough to take care of herself by now?" She then sighs. Maybe not... That kid...
<DeathStar> *Cloé smiles softly at that*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> She is 20 going on a kid now.
<DeathStar> *The other Cypher keeps to herself what Id said just yet, not wanting to give false hope - or if they find their own hope. Yuki studies them all, shaking her head*
<Seraphna> Nell> I do all the heavy lifting around here.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *tilts her head* Do children rule the world here?
<Seraphna> Nell> We're just the heroes who kicked the baddies butts!
<ChadWinters> 6Id spins a bit and moves over to the nearest computer like thing and scans to see if it can interface with it, wanting to learn as much about this place quickly
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I dunno about that Nell
<Seraphna> Nell> But... we did!
<DeathStar> *as they are talking, Nicolette, Lana, and Liana arrive with a tiny figure, looking to be about 6 years old - that looks a lot like Selena*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ....
<DeathStar> *she is pouting like a kid*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sel... how'd you get so little!
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... ... ....
<DeathStar> *stomps her foot* Not.. faaaaair!
<ChadWinters> <Id> So it would be seem that Selena's body did go through a genetic change.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What we witnessed was reverse cell-division. The heat was due to the crazy metabolic processes involved."
<Seraphna> **Jaime thinks** Oh boy...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> If I recall, this place aged Selena the last time she was here
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And made her older from a baby.
<Seraphna> Jaime> No the years she lost seem equal to that she spent on Yggdrassil.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "She... de-aged, somehow. Maybe she turned into a Maka? But you don't usually get young... ohhh."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I mean you being the only one doing the heavy lifting
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oh, maybe you coudl train her as a maka! I would love to observe!"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "At least it stopped, but..."
<Seraphna> Nell> Hey, I literally lift the heavy things.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *eyes the frustrated little kid* That little kid was the great Selena that saved us long ago?
<Sara> * Cherie is slightly frustrated at the idea that Nell did all the work
<Jackieness> 6* There is a tap on the top of Nell's head.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I think she's back to the age she would've been if she'd never been aged up in the first place?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> But... why? How?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Magik!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "It likely subtracted the extra years that she gained from her real age... settled the debt, so to speak."
<DeathStar> *Selena sits in the corner, arms crossed* I hate this plae. I want to go back to our time
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes Liana, glraing*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Sparkling. Did you question your own statement?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But you were so excited!"
<DeathStar> *glaresat Lana, then looks tired*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well we should figure it out before we do Sel, what if you wind up staying this way otherwise?
<Sara> <Liana> I didn't do it, dear. Please don't look at me like that.
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx shifts off to one side* Yeah, you lift...I cut and put stuff down.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I mean... I'm not certain that's what it is!"
<DeathStar> *Selena> Sleepy
<Jackieness> <Bella> "You mean the crap that I don't lift, don't you, Nell?"
<Ariel> * Nicolette rests her hands on Selena's shoulders.
<DeathStar> *Selena seems to be reverting more and more to a little kid with every passing moment - hopefully she reverts back to ehr true - well aged up age - when they go back*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Erica. What do you want to do now that we're here. We have options.
<Seraphna> Jaime> My sister in law went through something like this once, but circumstances were super different... and I've deaged before but that's just a... umm... thing I do.
<DeathStar> (reverting in personality)
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *studies Cherie and Ruhi with fascination, then Cloe*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *adjusts her glasses* "Well... we'll probably have to leave her with the rest of the kids we brought along."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You do? Why? How?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Wow you all are so different*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh umm... has to do with my ability to copy powers.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It... might be best..."
<DeathStar> *Cypher claps her hands* Anyway, we should find you some rooms. *She begins to lead the team off, then calls out to Ruhi and the rest* We should have a meeting after this about what to do next.
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx peers at them slowly, a small rush can be felt by those who have an actual mind* So why come back now?
<DeathStar> *Yuki, Gwen, and DS' people follow Cypher to the guest room, leaving the Future Kids to chat and any other PCs*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, we were looking to solve a problem and we might just be solving yours in the process... we have too many spirits in our world.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahem! Hi! You don't know me, but I'm Lana!" *holds out her hand*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Right... none of them would know me either... I'm Jaime Durran-Zhenmei.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm not one of the 'too many'. I'm Kyouki, the Dark Rune Spirit of Earth."
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx smiles, shifting the pair of swords to her off hand and shaking it* Indeed you are...
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'm from Mars."
<ChadWinters> <Id> I am an artificial intelligence.
<Seraphna> Talia> I am the great and powerful Talia!
<DeathStar> *Seniga eyes them all*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm Sparkling Justice! The Maka of the Moon!"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Well, that's quite the group. You all have changed over the years
<DeathStar> <Cloe> Maka? *She seems to be much more outgoing than her current counterpart
<Seraphna> Luci> We've made a few new friends in the new timeline, yeah.
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx smiles* I know. *glances at the floating orb? and shakes her head a bit*
<DeathStar> <Cloe> IS that a good?
<DeathStar> *food
<ChadWinters> *Yes. So suck it mind probes*
<Seraphna> Talia> Fear not the demon ball. One day we kitties will catch it.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The floating eye is mostly here to be destroyed just to show how stong the monster is."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...no, it's... I'm a magical girl, like Nicolette."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Oh, um... Nicolette. I'm actually from Kumen..." She doesn't use her full title for once.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Magical...girl.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Yes."
<Sara> * Cherie tilts her head
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Well this is Ruhi. *she motions at her* She is the mother dog of the group
<Jackieness> <Lana> *points to herself* "Witch."
<ChadWinters> <Id> I do not recommend trying anymore Talia. This shell has been designed to defend itself. 6It turns to 'look' at Lana. "I fear not this time. I only one back-up shell and it is an outdated model."
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx grins, her cat tail twitching behind her* Sounds like a challenge.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> That is Bella. She beats up people who threaten us
<DeathStar> *She motions*
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm Asha, I'm... wait, mother dog?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "then stop tempting fate and getting blown up."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> She's a dog. *she pulls on Ruhi's ears*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Fauna, right?"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I think so. I read that word somewhere
<Seraphna> **Nell flicks her tiger ears**
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm a wolf fauna."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Do not fear Lana, I plan on using you meat shields to extend this shells life span. *It's hard to tell if it's lieing*
<Seraphna> Nell> I'm a Dragon... and a Tiger.
<Stretch`cell> Jinx> She's Alpha-bitch, but she's outnumbered by us cats.
<Alicia> <Asha> "A dragon *and* a tiger?"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> We lost a lot of information in the C'en invasion. That's Cherie. *she motions* That's the little princess. Ruhi and Bella love her dearly and so do I
<DeathStar> *She hugs Cherie*
<Seraphna> **Nell nods** Mom's a Dragoon. **she points to Luci** Dad's a Tiger.
<Seraphna> Luci> He's useful for opening jars.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I've heard of dragoons."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Seniga is Seniga. And LJ is in the vents spyinh on you all
<DeathStar> <Cloé> That's all of us
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx sighs* Brother is perv...watch your butts
<Sara> * Cherie looks up at a vent, frowning
<DeathStar> *the vent shakes*
<Seraphna> **Nell rolls her eyes** I though he was only spying on me these days.
<DeathStar> *Riki can be seen in the background leading a small group to the guest rooms that look familiar. Who can these people be. find out in next Monday*
<Stretch`cell> Jinx> Favorite.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...someone thinks highly of herself."
<DeathStar> <Selena> *stands up and tugs on Liana and Nicolette* Thursty.
<Seraphna> Nell> Not at all, just highly of him. Gonna have to change that.
<DeathStar> *She tries to hold a small weapon and it nearly topples her*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *facepalms*
<Sara> * Liana frowns and takes Selena to get water
<DeathStar> *Selena follows Liana, holding up her arms to be carried, giving her a bright smile*
<Ariel> * Nicolette ponders for a moment, then conjures a small ball of water, floating in mid air. Making some practical use of her arcane studies
<DeathStar> *Selena gasps and claps her hands*
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx peers over at the young Selena* Need to get fixed? Not sure of self?
<DeathStar> *looking thrilled*
<DeathStar> *she gives Jinx a look and moves behind Liana and Nicolette*
<DeathStar> *peering at her suspiciously*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "That's a really strange way to put it."
<Ariel> <<Nicolette> "What do you mean, get fixed?"
<Sara> <Liana> My daughter does not need to be 'fixed'. Please watch your tongue.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *whispers* "she doesn't like me either, and I havne't even done anything suspicious."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Eesh.
<DeathStar> *Selena tugs on Lana's sleeve and gives her a smile*
<DeathStar> *Then goes back to hiding*
<Stretch`cell> *Jinc nods and sets her weapons to the side before sitting on the floor, her tail swishing playfully in her lap* She's also my old friend who left us...her thoughts and memories are conflicting within her.
<Stretch`cell> (Jinx)
<Alicia> <Asha> "And that's why she de-aged?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> thoughts and memories of what?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> She is only is younger, she didn't lose her memory
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Brains are funny... they change as you get older. Not over time, but over age. I can't imagine what going back must be like..."
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx shrugs* Can't say for sure...possible. *She tilts her head to the side and closes her eyes before tilting to the other side* Can't say for sure, many memories to sort through.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...I, um... might have done some research on that... for reasons."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *studies Nicolette curiously*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Really? Why?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmmm..."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Um... you should understand, Sparkling."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Did... I miss something important...?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Um... how old are you?"
<ChadWinters> 6The Id sphere floats off to explore
<DeathStar> *Selena snuggles into her mother*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Well, if I'd kept aging like a human, I'd be 19..."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It feels kinda weird to say that!"
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx shakes her head, as if to clear it* Memory makes person, identity...memories change, different identities, identity from each is different and has different strengths
<DeathStar> <Selena> *just thinks Jinx is weird and remains attached to Liana* Momma brave - stay away
<Alicia> <Asha> "I feel like there's something very important going down here."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "See, it's not just a case of being 'young at heart'. Your mind isn't the same as it would be if you actually were '19'."
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx holds her breath and pulls out a small bracelet from her pouch with a gray stone in in, looking at it for a moment before offering it out to Liana and Selena* From years ago, helped all of us.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "That's fine! I don't need to be... oh. I get it now. Because we're young for so long, we learn differently."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Yeah, um, something like that."
<Alicia> <Asha> "So, what's that stone?"
<DeathStar> *Selena slowly takes it if Liana okays it*
<DeathStar> -END -> Note to GM check the date and see if minis happened and include it for the session logs*
<Stretch`cell> Jinx> Was my stone... bracelet made by Tora to help us all.
