<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* At Katrina's bar, a giant cake is set down before Kaelan with streamers and other stuff all over the place
<DeathStar> *Zegretta hands Kaelan a wrapped box*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks a bit in surprise** ...Is it my birthday?
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *narrows her eyes* ... How could you forget?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *puts something down in front of Kaelan - it looks to be a ring of sorts*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Year in deep space, all the crazy stuff going on... **she blushes, looking at the ring and box**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina uses magik to have magical confetti fall down on Kaelan*
<DeathStar> <Locket> Congrats. *She thumbs up*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **she giggles a bit and opens Zegretta’s gift**
<DeathStar> <Ren> So how old are you now, 19?
<Alicia> <Michiru> *likewise thumbs up*
<DeathStar> *it looks to be a necklace with a heart*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> 24. **she blushes and puts it on before examining the ring**
<DeathStar> <Sudako> Does one usually give gifts? *she muses* I could take you behind the bar and mate. *Zegretta whaps her so hard she spins behind the bar*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Don't worry. I forgot it was your birthday too."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I still haven't picked up on everyone's."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It’s fine silly... **her tails swish as she tries the ring on**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt leans back in his chair, his hands resting behind his head
<DeathStar> *Kaelan feels a warm sensation go through her, likely some power granted to her*
<DeathStar> *at that moment the bar's door opens up*
<DeathStar> *Rachael stands there, her eyes a little sullen, and Erevis' hand on her shoulder. Zegretta makes a slight face, recalling slightly Rachael had a birthday a week or so ago, but she was "away" on doctor's orders*
<DeathStar> *Rachael moves and sits down, putting down a box by Kaelan*
<Alicia> * Charlotte glances over
<Alicia> * Michiru just chills
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hey, Rachael."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hey, Moira
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances over at Rachael briefly and then back over at the rest
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **blinks and takes it gently to open it, pulling another out of her tails to give Rachael** Now that I think of it, You we’re away for yours.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'appens
<DeathStar> *the gift looks to be some store bought candy - the cheap kind*
<DeathStar> *Rachael puts her's up for now*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan literally remembered someone else’s birthday a week ago but not her own, her gift seems to be a gothic dress she made Rachael**
<DeathStar> *Katrina claps her hand, and the red haired assistant bartender comes out to sing and dance "Happy Birthday" to them*
<Alicia> * Charlotte is quietly glad she's not expected to remember anyone's, and edges towards Ren. "So, when's your birthday?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen walks in and places a gift down in front of Kaelan before turning and walks back to stand by the door.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Me? It's uh... 5.31
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blushes and opens that next** so same month as Zegretta.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta peers at Ren*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Mine's in less than a month, but you don't need to get anything. Just... be patient with me?"
<DeathStar> *Rachael listens to Erevis and nods, cupping her hands*
<Xanatos> 6* It's a gift card for a spa.
<DeathStar> *Ren smiles and pats Charlotte, making note of that*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Thanks you two~
<DeathStar> *Lorelei peers at her datapad, then blinks a little at some alert.* Oh. Oh my
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What is it?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Something up, Lorelei?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Something up?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lemon contacted me, hoping for some back up; it looks like there's a bounty on Christina's life.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And she doesn't know who issued it.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Zayne, the Smiling Suns, or who
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Seem's like an odd bounty for someone who doesn't have a high profile. So probably someone from the Smiling Suns.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Who?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hmm. Sounds like that one's made friends.
<DeathStar> <Locket> *brings up the profile on Christina*
<DeathStar> *and shows it*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wasn't she the sster of the original cult leader?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Yeah.
<DeathStar> <Locket> She likes suckers according to her profile picture
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Don't we all?"
<DeathStar> *Ren sends Kaori a message about what is up and where she'll be at, then stands up*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *to Kaelan* Sorry your birthday is being cut short. Lemon asked us to go to Luna and help look into this while her team investigates leads on Earth
<Sara> * Kaori sends a fox emoji in response
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What does a fox emoji even mean?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I get to possibly beat up cultists?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Its such a flat expression that it could mean anything."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> It means -_-
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Well, I'm up for going."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will stay here with Rachael. She shouldn't be overly stimulated right now. <Rachael> *sighs and shrugs*
<DeathStar> *should not
<ChadWinters> 6Durt stands up, glancing down at his datapad briefly and then stretches. 1"Well let's go then I suppose."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I guess I'm going too." *likewise stands up*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina follows Lorelei to the teleporters and begins to program in Luna. Locket and Ren follow along*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I give someone a beating for you, Rachael."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Rachael and then the others.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Have fun. I'll eat cake.
<DeathStar> *Rachael cuts a slice*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan steaks a hug from Rachael and hops up, gifts vanishing into her tails**
<DeathStar> *After the group is gathered, they arrive on Luna, where they meet up with Lemon's agents - Marcus and Tabetha*
<DeathStar> *Locket nudges Charlotte and points* That one is the legendary werewolf.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There are non-legendary werewolves?"
<DeathStar> *Locket thinks on that* Uh..
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hi Lorelei. Hello other people I totally know.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei holds out her hand* Hello, you two
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes her hand
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm Charlotte."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *poses for Marcus* I'm Sabrina, agent of love.
<Seraphna> Thena> Is the wolf from teen wolf legendary?
<Seraphna> **Tabetha nods to them all**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt shifts his hands in his hoody pocket, glancing around a bit then at Marcus and Tabetha
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So let's cut to the chase then."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Do you turn into a wolf during full moons?
<Seraphna> Thena> Do you like doggie treats?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "As long as you don't go crazy on full moons, I'm okay with whatever."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> .....
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Oh yeah. *brings up the information Lemon send and holds up her datapad. It shows a picture of Christina, her address, and her place of work, as well as the amount of money being offered for her life, which is surprisingly high. It seems to have been posted on the holonet, on the blacknet of the holonet*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I suppose the first thing is to reach Christina?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> They are not mine like Cookie or Adeline so I don't think I can spank them, Marcus.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Was that not polite enough?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, she's the target so the action will be centered around her.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Christina first, then I'll eat some of you and then we'll continue the investigation.
<Seraphna> Thena> Gasp! He eats maidens!
<DeathStar> *Sabrina jerks at Marcus and hides behind Lorelei*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... ... ...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What? I thought you were only afraid of the studen council?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Please don't eat me. I'm sure I don't taste good." *says the girl with the cake name*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> *whispers** You can't give Thena that kind of opening.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> He's the big bad wolf, I read about him!
* Sara has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well this is going to be a long day. They don't get my jokes. Come'on. 6* He turns and moves for Christina's apartment.
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session458
<Seraphna> **Tabetha pats Old Man Marcus consolingly and heads along with him**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *nods awkwardly, following*
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces along**
<Alicia> * Michiru bounces afterwards
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Maybe one day, Marcus
<DeathStar> <Locket> I got it! *she punches his shoulder and grins*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan fixes her kimono and smiles a bit, walking along.**
<DeathStar> *they soon reach Christina's place after walking along Luna. There's news reports as they go along, with people noting concerns that Luna might be slipping back out of orbit and causing problems for Earth, but so far it is minute if it is*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "....soooo... her house is still standing?"
<DeathStar> *right as they say that, Christina's place explodes*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Why wouldn... damn it."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> See? Now that makes sense.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It is surprising they didn't just blow it up to get her....6He throws his left hand up to cover his face
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Not that she's inside there if she had any sense whatsoever.
<DeathStar> *sending pieces of it raining down - a sink lands near Durt*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha holds up her hands and shield the group with some TK**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I hope that wasn't a magical shot that took that out, that was quite the explosion
<DeathStar> <Locket> Geeze
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Magic would leave a trace.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> It's not beyond Sunny's followers to use Sunny's favorite method of attack though.
<Alicia> * Michiru would help, but sees Tabetha is handling things.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> You know, bombs.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus frowns and attempts to get inside to see if there's any trace of Christina inside.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Any of you kids, sense magic?
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I didn't
<Seraphna> Kaelan> No god ping either. And.... I don't think anything Dark One.
<Alicia> * Charlotte and Michiru shrug
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Then it's a fair bet it was a bomb or something similiar
<DeathStar> *as Marcus enters the room, he sees a figure burning in a seat that looks Christina like*
<DeathStar> *oh no, is Christina dead already?(
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Hmm... well this would be a short mission.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pulls his coat off and wraps it around the body moving to leap out and then pat out the flame
<Jackieness> <Moira> "....so maybe death faking?"
<DeathStar> *Marcus leaps out of the room and sees he's holding fake doll*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I... could have just floated the chair over to us, but good work.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Fission Mailed."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Huh? Mailed?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...well she wasn't in there I don't think.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We mailed a generator somewhere?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "No-one gets my jokes."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I think she was faking her death maybe.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Then we probably just ruined it.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Puns are the lowest form of humor."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Only if we let someone else see this. Let's take it away like it's a real body.
<DeathStar> *At that moment, Marcus would spy on a rooftop nearby someone spying on the place with binoculars, with his wolf sight*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Marcus, can you smell any explosive residues?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Rooftops. 6* He says quickly running for the building and beginning to climb it.,
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks and a second Thena pops up on the roof, looking about**
<DeathStar> *Marcus climbs up and finds the real Christina*
<Alicia> * Michiru teleports onto the roof as CHarlotte climbs, much more slowly.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh. Hey. 6* He sits down on the edge to catch his breath after climbing.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> They all ran off. *she floats up there*
<Sara> * Chris jerks
<Sara> <Chris> ... Hey. *she notes*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt watches everyone take off and follows behind everyone
<DeathStar> *Locket and Ren shrug and move off*
<Seraphna> *Kaelan provides a foxhole up to the roof for the others**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "We're here to get you to safety, and hopefully stop the bad guys."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...yeah...this is gettign stupid." *steps out of the foxhole*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances at the foxhole and just moves through that
<DeathStar> <Ren> How so? *to Moira*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Looks like you've got some issues. We're here to help.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "If anyone is watchign that house, they are now seeing us congregating up here."
<Alicia> * Charlotte grumbles, half way through climbing when the foxhole appears, and climbs the rest.
<Sara> <Chris> Not exactly inconspicuous. ... I'm fine, but as you can see, yes, there is trouble here.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Miss Alder
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Moira's right./
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Moira is right. *right as they say that, a rocket heads their way*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Anyone you piss off recently?
<DeathStar> <Locket> Incoming
<Alicia> <Michiru> "So, we... everyone, get down!"
<Sara> * Chris dives
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances around, eyeing the rocket coming in. 1"Kaelan."
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods and forms a foxhole to redirect it
<DeathStar> *Ren tackles Charlotte down*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leans back to hang off the edge.
<Alicia> * Michiru grabs the closest person and teleports away
<DeathStar> *the rocket is redirected and goes back*
<DeathStar> *when suddenly something lands on the roof - a grenade*
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<Sara> <Chris> I don't know if you ever noticed this, but all of Sunny's old followers KIND of love to try to kill me. *throws it off*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You gotta be kidding me
<Seraphna> **Thena teleports them all olt the ground
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Can we discuss it somewhere we're not being shot at?"
<DeathStar> *the grenade threw off landsw on the ground where Thena teleportd them?*
<DeathStar> 1
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Stupid!" *runs*
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs Ren and runs
<DeathStar> -0-
<Alicia> * Michiru teleports away
<Seraphna> (wait, what?)
<ChadWinters> 6Durt's skin hardens as he leaps on it.
<Seraphna> (the grenade skipped off the roof and onto the ground level?))
<Alicia> (It was thrown)
<Seraphna> ((from where to where?))
<Alicia> (from the roof to the ground)
<DeathStar> *Durt takes the explosion*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Is he dead?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Durt! Are you alright?!"
<Alicia> * Michiru rushes over
<DeathStar> *Locket kneels and pokes*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt stands up, smacking the dust of him as he coughs a bit.
<Seraphna> Thena> He takes the spicy meatballs.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Wow... thanks..."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what the hell, Durt?!"
<Sara> <Chris> Fuckin' hell. I guess there were too many cooks in the kitchen solving that problem... I'm sorry.
<Sara> <Chris> You guys don't really have to concern yourselves so much. It's me they want.
<Seraphna> Thena> Weird amount of chance it would fall and bounce over here... did someone make Hess mad?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Don't worry about it, we know you didn't mean to."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcu glances around to see if he sees anyone watching them.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt sighs a bit as he tips off his hoody and throws it to the ground, his tact suit having pieces of shrapnel in it. 1"You people need to be more careful with explosives. Kaelan. Sending the rocket back where it came from was dangerous. What if there's innocents there?"
<DeathStar> *so far it's all quiet*
<DeathStar> *perhaps their attacker is planning how to get around their abilities*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'd aimed it for the sky... but there's not a lot of places you can send a rocket where it doesn't hit something.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It seems the attacks have stopped for now
<DeathStar> <Locket> Well it's hard to do long range with out powers
<DeathStar> *our
<DeathStar> <Ren> *muses*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt grabs a piece of metal and pulls it out of his tact suit, tossing it and some blood on to the ground, the tact suit seems to melt back over the open wound.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Whoever is after her sure likes a lot of firepower though.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Nevermind than. Good job.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Any idea why the bounty was placed on you now? Anything new you've done to piss someone off?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Mmm... is it possible it's Cobalt or the Cult then?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We need to teleport off the streets and into a secure location."
<Seraphna> Thena> Okay. **she charges her Teleport again** Ready?
<Sara> <Chris> Well, you know the Suns love their explosions, chaos, and confusion. Mass panic is their game.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Ready." *takes Thena's hand and Chris'*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Do we have a secure location?" *looks at Chris*
<Alicia> * Charlotte holds Ren's hand, offering the other to whoever.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'd suggest somewhere she doesn't have. They probably know where hers are.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha nods and transmits a location to Thena** Here, a bunker we use. Central room.
<DeathStar> *Ren takes it*
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and teleports them there after people are joined**
<Sara> * Chris shrugs. "Well, no getting you guys out of this now anyway..."
<DeathStar> *Thena would fail*
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks**
<Seraphna> Thena> Teleport not working.
<Sara> <Chris> Is that normal?
<Seraphna> Thena> No that's not normal. Especially since mine is Hyperspace.
<Alicia> * Michiru attempts to, despite her teleport being much less powerful
<DeathStar> *as Thena tries, she would see an armored vehicle approaching on the street*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Company!"
<DeathStar> *Michiru fails, too*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think they have some sort of anti-teleporting device
<Seraphna> Thena> I think that thing is jamming translocation.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Seem's they're adapting.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Makes sense."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus adjusts his gloves as he eyes the armored vehicle and begins to approach it.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *draws her sword* "Thena, wreck the street in front f them!"
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and forms three nodes, using her triple blast beam on the ground in front of the thing**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'd say a little to fast for the Smiling group.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> My money is on Cobalt now.
<DeathStar> *the ground explodes*
<Sara> * Chris unholsters her gun and removes the safety.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why does the Cobalts want her?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> For the money?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Heck if I know. The bounty probably.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Bounty hunters or mercs, duh. We'll cut through te ruines of Christina's house while we have a moment. Let the smoke and heat scramble their tracking."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Smokescreens. Good tactics."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *heads for Chris' house*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Not bad
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Could still be the Sunnies who put the hit out on her. But these are professionals
<DeathStar> *the vehicle stops and fires a beam at them*
<Sara> * Chris moves ahead with that plan in mind
<DeathStar> *it fires like a super railgun*
<Sara> <Chris> Fuck.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Shit
<DeathStar> *she dives*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan dives into some shadows**
<Sara> * Chris dives, a bit late
<Jackieness> <Moira> *dops and rolls*
<DeathStar> <Locket> *goes down*
<Seraphna> **Pulling Zeg with her**
<Sara> * Due to the fact she was starting to move already
<ChadWinters> 6Durt leaps to the side.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta goes down*
<Seraphna> **Thena leaps for cover**
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs Ren and jumps for cover
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leaps to the side, then runs forward trying to shorten the distance.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Do we have any flashbangs or somethign like that?!"
<Seraphna> **Tabetha seems to have already started moving before it's fired and shifts her position to get missed**
<DeathStar> *the railgun slams into Chris' side, and keeps going like there's no resistance*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh my god
<DeathStar> *it looks like it's shaved off some of her side, but it's not fatal*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *grabs Chris and starts hauling her to the wreckage*
<Alicia> * Michiru moves to help Moira
<Seraphna> **Tabetha then focuses on a mind inside the vehicle and starts to TK break bones in the body attached to it**
<DeathStar> *Marcus gets in range, and the thing takes a bit to recharge; two little mini guns rise up and fire at Marcus*
<Sara> <Chris> Uuugh... damn...
<Sara> <Chris> Fuckin' shitheels...
<DeathStar> *Ren hurries over to Chris and begins to try to help patch her side and put pain killers in her*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt stands up, eyeing the vehicle then at Chris. 1"Someone needs to get her wounds sealed or she's going to bleed out.
<Seraphna> **Thena frowns** Can do that but it will hurt a lot.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta looks a little scared, even as Locket bounces and gets closer, avoiding them; Tabetha attacks does something until a psionic shield rises*
<Alicia> * Charlotte sticks with Ren, looking for her medpack.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Okay, Psionics are now out.
<DeathStar> <Ren> You'll be fine
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus half-shifts into a wolf, his arms and legs only, and leaps to the left to avoid the fire, circling to try and get a better angle on the big vehicle.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks at Zegretta reassuringly in the darkness and readies her sword**
<Sara> <Chris> Sorry, I guess I messed up. Got distracted...
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... I guess I'd better help. You can handle Chris, you three?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey, once the medicine kicks in, you'll be fine. *she nods to Michiru*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That was a military grade rail gun. You're lucky to be alive still
<Jackieness> <Moira> "These guys aren't dicking around... and I've got her easy."
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods too then.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> You're right... that means it's feedback load will be... powerful.
<DeathStar> *the vehicle keeps firing at Marcus, when Sabrina flies overhead, her wand forming into weapons*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> .. .... ..
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Don't attack the vehicle, attack the canon.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina fires a magical shot to slow the tank down for Marcus*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We just need to get away from here."
<Alicia> "Got it." * Michiru rushes over towards the tank, putting her hands together to fire a beam of energy at the cannon
<DeathStar> *the rail gun finishes recharging, right as Michiru damages it by 5%*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan lashes tendrils at the cannon and tries to bend the barrel**
<DeathStar> *it's damaged by 10%*
<DeathStar> *it turns the rail cannon and aims at the group and fires a super rial gun blast Kaelan and Zegretta*
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<Seraphna> **Kaelan grabs her and leaps**
<DeathStar> -0-
<ChadWinters> 6Durt reactivates his armor.
<DeathStar> *a building blows up in the distance*
<Xanatos> 6* With it slowed down Marcus can now move in and attempts to force the miniguns around so they fire at the rail cannon.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What the hell is going on now?!"
<DeathStar> *the rail gun begins to rack up damage slowly*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha unleashes her 1000 Shots move on the Cannon with her summoned guns**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina switches to archer form and aims at the cannon and fires, as it reaches 25% damage*
<DeathStar> *then 40%*
<DeathStar> *the mini guns retract*
<Seraphna> **Thena looks a little pale as she starts forming Crystals inside the gun itself to damage it**
<Alicia> * Michiru continues to barrage the main cannon with her beams
<DeathStar> *60%*
<DeathStar> *Locket leaps onto the tank and begins to punch it*
<Sara> * Chris groans a bit, eyeing what's going on
<DeathStar> *Ren gives her a stim pack to help counter the pain medicine*
<DeathStar> <Ren> There, all patched up
<Jackieness> <Moira> "These maniacs are turning Luna into a battlefield."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shifts to protect Zegretta and continues using tendrils to bend and tear at the cannon**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt rubs his face a bit as he eyes the cannon, trying to guess where it's going to fire next
<DeathStar> *Zegretta retreats to Moira and the others*
<DeathStar> *the super rail gun recharges again as it reaches 70% damage, and begins to target a building, not the group*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... what is it doing?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to full wolf form, and unleashes his wolf parts upgrades attack for the cannon barrel but doing a big double fisted slam.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Collateral damage. We either give it Chris or it murders a building full of people.
<Seraphna> **Thena frowns** We need to move. They might bring it down on us.
<DeathStar> *the cannon reaches 90% damage and looks bent*
<DeathStar> *it begins to charge to bring down a building on them all*
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Seraphna> **A second Thena appears on top of the truck and balsts the canon*
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 93%
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leaps off of it
<Alicia> * Michiru fires one last blast, her biggest yet
<DeathStar> 1
<Seraphna> **Tabetha TK rends the cannoin
<Alicia> * And then teleports away
<DeathStar> *Locket smashes it around and leaps off*
<DeathStar> *Michiru would fail the teleport*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pulls Michi to safety with Tendrils
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... thanks. I forgot..."
<DeathStar> *the rail gun fires at the building, and instead the rail gun cannon explodes**
<DeathStar> *the armored device smokes*
<DeathStar> <Locket> Is it over? <Lorelei> ....
<Alicia> * Michiru breathes a sigh of relief. "Go team!"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina lands*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Thena, can you teleport now?!"
<Seraphna> **Thena grabs them and tries**
<DeathStar> *she cannot*
<Seraphna> Thena> Jamming still up.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "No good! Going to have to leave the old fashioned way!"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...that means the jsmmer wasn't in the fancy truck."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Whatever's causing it might not be part of that armored vehicle
<Sara> <Chris> Then let's get a move on.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Right... **her eyes glow red and she forms a ball of darkness, firing it out at the vehicle**
<DeathStar> *the armored vehicle suddenly charges them to run them over when Kaelan does that*
<DeathStar> *it jerks and falls into Thena's hole*
<DeathStar> *Ren nods and moves to go through Chris' house*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha sighs, she pulls a grenade and tosses it into the hole**
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... *she goes back to civilian clothes an follows*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts back into his normal ol human body to look at the vehicle in the hole and moves to follow the others.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *she turns and goes along as the grenade booms*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *continues carrying Chris out of there*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You know, that wasn't cheap what they just used on us.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Always double tap.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How much was that bounty again?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Now it's not.
<Alicia> * Michiru runs along with the group away from the tank.
<ChadWinters> *No*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Oh. It was something like 1 million
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Chris, anywhere we can go form here to get off the street?"
<Seraphna> Tabetha> That was quite the investment they just... blew.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha looks around for reactions to her amazing pun**
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I got that
<DeathStar> *she claps*
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks amused, at least
<Sara> <Chris> Tough question. These guys aren't messing around, so they could have safehouses covered, but there are quite a few police safehouses around, of course.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's not a whole lot considering what that thing cost
<Seraphna> **Tabetha looks pleased**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives Tabetha a thumbs up.
<DeathStar> *as Durt says that, there's a rumbling sound behind them*
<Sara> <Chris> ... For what it's worth, I don't mind losing my place. I'm not the kind of person who keeps... attachments. Not any more.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...craaaaap..."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ...Somethings up everyone.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "To be fair, they probably expected... really?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Its probably that truck's big brother. Chris, pick a place and fast."
<DeathStar> *coming out of the hole, the damaged armored tank climbs out, losing pieces and a smaller, more fit vehicle emerges*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...We should continue
<Sara> * Chris reads off an address off the top of her mind
<Seraphna> Kalean> What kind of Robotnik nonsense is this?
<Sara> <Chris> The fuck?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan tries forming a Foxhole trap in front of the smaller vehicle to fall into**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Something tells me this ones going to be quicker.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I'm impressed, but really... that's overkill."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Where's X when you could use her Ripples to tear holes through that thing.
<DeathStar> *the smaller vehicle zooms in quickly and goes into the foxhole and vanishes*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...so... where did you send it?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan points up high into the sky**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hopefully it can't fly.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I could really use a potein bar.
<Xanatos> (*protein)
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I want to say they wouldn't send a second, but I don't want to jinx it."
<DeathStar> *Ren shields eyes* uhhh
<DeathStar> <Ren> Bad news
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...it flies, doesn't it?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Lemme guess, it can fly?
<Sara> <Chris> They fly now?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I see a black speck in the far distance.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Flying
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are you kidding me?!"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs** Next time I'm just making the foxhole in the middle of the vehicle and pulling an X.
<DeathStar> *as they walk along the Lunar streets, heading for thee destination, they pass civilians who look confused at everything*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hopefully we can lose it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We shouldn't be out in the open like this. Too many innocents
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...I've been saying that...but they keep comign up with ways to trap us."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What if we had a diversion?"
<DeathStar> <Locket> How so?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "A fake, to lure them away."
<DeathStar> *Zegretta puts a blonde wig on Marcus*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> They probably have Chris' bio signature locked down. Fake won't work
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...yeah...that would totally fool anybody."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus winks, fixing his wig hair
<DeathStar> *At that moment, the winged vehicle comes flying in*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Might need to cover yourself in her blood.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And then hope for the best.
<DeathStar> <Ren> We need to get off the street
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It was worth a try."
<Sara> <Chris> That's pretty fucked-up.
<DeathStar> <Locket> Or shoot it down
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks for a good sidestreet.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey weapon boy. How hard can you get? Like could I throw you like like a cannonball at the thing?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Cut the chatter, incoming!"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> How hard can you throw?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If I had to guage it on a scale...about a 8.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And if it dodges?
<DeathStar> *they are nearing the Blade Runner -esque area of Luna if they keep running ahead and out of the civilian living areas. Up ahead if the Noir areas with the large holographic street signs like in Blade Runner and plenty of side streets*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hope you can fly.
<DeathStar> *one just needs to run ahead further*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha muses, looking like she's calculating, then holds out her hand, using TK to try and bend part of the wing of the vehicle so it loses it's ability to fly straight**
<Sara> <Chris> May as well duck into an alley along the way.
<DeathStar> *Tabetha manages a partial bend*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well I can't, but worth a try I suppose. It'll atleast put me behind it to keep tabs on it that way.
<DeathStar> *Ren nods and hurries along with Chris, getting further up*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta hurries and ducks into an alley*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Good luck, you two. I believe in you two
<Jackieness> <Moira> "The narrower the better!"
<Alicia> * Charlotte runs with Ren and Chris, looking over the alleys
<DeathStar> *She says in a deadpaned way*
<DeathStar> *then hurries off*
<DeathStar> <Locket> *thumbs up*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *keeps going with Chris and co*
<DeathStar> *then runs off, right as the enemy gets in range*I
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If not I guess I die. 6He scratches the back of his head.
<Seraphna> **Sera's people follow the others**
<DeathStar> *it pulls out laser cannons, targetting Marcus and Durt*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt cracks his neck as his skin tenses up and he leaps at Marcus
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Cool. 6* His bones crack and shift into the wolf form as he catches Durt and throws him as hard as he can for the flying thing.
<DeathStar> *Durt goes flying and the vehicle tries to swerve as best it can with the damage; Durt smashes through the center and damages it, causing an explosion and it goes spinning out of control right over Marcus' head and down the street, where it blows up a second time*
<ChadWinters> 6Marcus would hear a grinding noise almost as the skin becomes jagged like
<DeathStar> *Ren peeks out*
<Alicia> * Charlotte peeks out as well
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I hope that blast was the flyign thing and not our guys."
<DeathStar> <Locket> He was a true EarthGov hero
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We will always remember them.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Lucky for us. That 8 was out of 100. 6* He says as he shifts back to normal squinting out to see if Durt is dead.
<DeathStar> *Ren turns back to Chris* Lets get to that police safehouse
<Sara> <Chris> Yeah. *she repeats the address, not far by now*
<Seraphna> Thena> Will hold funeral services for Durt when we get back. **she sounds like this will happen even if he lived**
<Sara> <Chris> That fastball special, though... they're brave, I give them that.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We will never forget his sacrifice."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hmms after waiting a bit then jogs over to check the wreckage.
<DeathStar> *the others head off, leaving Marcus and Durt behind, since Durt is just playing in fire
<ChadWinters> 6There's nothing from the firey wreckage until a shadow emerges and then Durt emerges, his hand patting at parts of his body, blood dripping from his head
<DeathStar> *civilians stare at Marcus and Durt, several calling the police on them*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nice. Let's go catch up with the others and one of them can heal you head.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt then tosses a stump of an arm. 1"Cobal I think. But this is all that's left of the operator."
<DeathStar> *the arm burns; it has the name Justin on it*
<Seraphna> ((NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!))
<Seraphna> ((The trauma is back.))
<DeathStar> (It's going to get you)
<Alicia> (( Oh no. ))
<ChadWinters> <Durt> But yeah, we should before the adrenaline gives out and I start hurting.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> *at a police safehouse, they have Chris resting on a chair and all patched up*
<DeathStar> <Ren> At least we're safe now
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... maybe
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Doubt it. 6He leans back in a chair, a ice pack on his head.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta looks into who posted the bounty* I think I might have an idea who wants Christina out
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Now lets figure out what's going on."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Who are you thinking, Zegretta?"
<Sara> <Chris> Your theory?
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> It's designed to look like a rich Smiling Sun person, and it might be
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> But I've been in touch with Adeline and she thinks they might be being set up and the Cobalts themselves want you dead
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Or that could be... a smokescreen."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right."
<DeathStar> *Zegretta motions at the chat with Adeline*
<DeathStar> <Ren> And why do they want her dead?
<DeathStar> <Ren> With a fake bounty?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Diversion. Chaos. 6He waves a hand. 1"Maybe to draw us out since they know we'd come to aid her."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Ooo, my girl is good at this.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Adeline mentioned something about Sunny being their agent and stuff
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Those mercs still hit Chris when they had the chance.""
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, whoever set the bounty is your enemy. Or one of them."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> So that might be a reason
<DeathStar> *Sabrina muses*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Petty vendetta for an old agent? Seem's weak.,
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Hm, I wonder if there's some other reason
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I think it's more than that, yes."
<DeathStar> *Ren peers out the window* Uh, Chris
<Sara> <Chris> The Cobalts... I mean, unless that Lev guy is alive or something...
<Sara> <Chris> Sigh. Are we made?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...are they right outside, Ren?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *motions* Not the Cobalts, but I think someone leaked this location to another grou0p
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A million is not a lot for a bounty either.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If that Lev guy was a threat, he would've made his move already.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Marcus is right.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Booo.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...who is outside, Ren?"
<DeathStar> *outside is a large group of Smiling Sun cultists*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Who leaked this place to THEM?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Probably the Cobalt.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina forms her magical girl outfit* I thought they were the one who posted the bounty
<Sara> <Chrs> Well... that's great.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Perhaps they have agents among the police too. Either way, I suppose we need to deal with these morons.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Seem's you might want to tell your police friends to create a better safe house system. 6He groans a bit as he pushes himself out of his chair, tossing the ice bag to the ground
<Jackieness> <Moira> "How many?"
<DeathStar> *The Smiling Suns move up and knock on the door* If you all wish to leave here alone, please hand over the evil one
<DeathStar> <Ren> A couple dozen
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Will that even help, if they have agents amongst them?"
<DeathStar> <Locket> Oh we can handle that
<DeathStar> *Lorelei leans back, her tails curling in thought* Marcus, go eat them
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Most of them are gonna be cowards anyways. Scare them enough and they'll run.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> H-He really does eat people?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You got it dude. 6* He thumbs up and turns into a werewolf sprinting to slam through the door.
<DeathStar> *the door slams open and the flattens 3 of them*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan opens a foxhole to sneak outside some distance and get around behind the cultists**
<DeathStar> *the other couple dozen stare in shock at Marcus, before they pull out weak looking weapons, and stun rods*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *steps outside, with her sword resting on her shoulder* "You have 15 seconds to begin to vacating these premises before the rest of you become collateral."
<Seraphna> **Tabetha holds out a hand and grabs one with TK, using him as a flail for the cultists around him**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leaps and throws punch and kicks. Not really trying to kill here.
<DeathStar> *Tabetha begins to whap people and knock them around*
<DeathStar> <Locket> *steps out and cracks her knuckles, and punches one in the gut, sending them flying*
<DeathStar> <Locket> Come on then
<Alicia> * Michiru heads out to punch a few of them too. "You really think you can take us?"
<DeathStar> *one tries to stun rod them, and she blocks with her arm, grinning wildly like John and uppercuts them up onto the roof*
<DeathStar> <Smiling Suns> .. ... *they back up, worriedly*
<Sara> <Chris> ... Are these guys really Suns? They seem unprepared.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan moves in behind them and starts bashing into them with a sheathed Katana and shield**
<Sara> * Chris is standing up behind everyone, her gun drawn
<Jackieness> <Moira> *steps back iside* "We need to move. This may be a diversion."
<DeathStar> *one suddenly pulls out a detonator and begins to push the button* We have this place wired - prepare to die! *suddenly his hand vanishes in a magical beam*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Recruits. Most of them are made of it I think now. So they're just normal people who follow a dumb path
<DeathStar> *the smiling sun member howls*
<Seraphna> Thena> Okay, Thena's teleport service open for business.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Thena, get us out of here."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I... I didn't do that
<DeathStar> *at that moment the back door begins to burn*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs
<Seraphna> **Thena teleports the group to the other location**
<DeathStar> *the teleport fails*
<Seraphna> Thena> I am feeling VERY, VERY blocked lately!
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> You are being railroaded *She pats*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...then start using your legs, go!"
<Seraphna> **Thena crosses her arms and huffs**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If it wasn't you, then it was probably her ex.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You sense any other Maka or other bad Maka around?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And this time no cop stops."
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs Chris, pulling her away from the back door
<DeathStar> *Ren tries throwing water on the back door*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina goes to feel out something when mroe magical beams shoot down at the Smiling sun members, burning off legs, arms, and leaving them falling down in agony*
<DeathStar> *several shoot just around Marcus'' head*
<Sara> * Chris grumbles at being tugged around so much
<Seraphna> Thena> Ummm... I think she's here but not the one after Chris.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt pulls out his gun and aims it for the back door, then fires a warning shot through it in the lower right corner
<Sara> <Chris> I would love to know when things will stop exploding.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses looking up towards the beams.
<DeathStar> *Durt takes out a Smiling Sun Cultist with a flamethrower*
<DeathStar> *another with a bomb stares at him*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We need to get rid of that teleport jammer!"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Seem's the heats stopping.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Did'nt you hear her?! No more explosions!" *grabs a piece of furniture and lobs it at the bomb cultist*
<DeathStar> *Zayne is standing there, with a magical orb floating behind her, taking down all the smiling suns ruthlessly; she lands after they are all on the ground, unable to move and are bleeding badly, even as Moira smacks the bomber and stops them*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> That went more smoothly than I thought. Unless Zayne is here to kill you, Christina
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That one. Sabrina, do you sense that one?
<Seraphna> **Thena waves** hi Zayne!
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Yes. I sense her
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Bloodthirsty, isn't she?"
<Sara> <Chris> ...Zayne.
<DeathStar> <Locket> It seems that way
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves to step outside now, crossing his arms as he looks over at Zayne
<Sara> <Chris> What is she even doing...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "My guess... the cultists have gone rogue and she is cleaning house."
<DeathStar> *Zayne's gun weapon turns into a scythe, peering at Marcus, with a cruel smile*
<Seraphna> Thena> Assuming you don't want to kill Chris, we should like, hang out sometime.
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *Then to Thena* And if I was here to kill her for the bounty money?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina keeps her wand ready*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... then we'd have to do whatever we could to stop you."
<Seraphna> Thena> Well that would be upsetting. If you need a small loan I can match that bounty.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus snarls, watching Zayne.
<Seraphna> Thena> Otherwise, we should hang!
<DeathStar> *Zayne shakes her head* I heard that these corrupted fools, using my Sunny's name, put up this foolish bounty.
<DeathStar> <Zayne> So I stepped in.
<Seraphna> Thena> Well that makes you our ally for the moment! Thank you!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "oK... so why have these guys gone rogue anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> And why would I know anything about that? I have nothing to do with them
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... wow. That..." *turns away*
<Sara> <Chris> If you're not planning on killing me, I presume you really could not care less about the actual details of this, just about what the Suns are doing.
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *steps up to Chris, inches away* And... is there more to the details?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina stands by Marcus, her hand holding her weapon so tightly her knuckles are going white*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *glares at Zayne*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Like where would these guys get that much money for a bounty?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus' hand turns from wolf to normaly and he puts a hand on Sabrina's shoulder, glancing at her and slightly shaking his head no
<Seraphna> Thena> Hmm... someone could have financed them, or they faked the bounty.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and jerks around, pulling Sabrina up into his arms as he looks around quickly.
<Seraphna> Thena> They are kinda stupid.
<DeathStar> *Zayne glances back at Charlotte, her purple eyes studying her* Do you have a problem? I can sense the darkness in you, too
<DeathStar> *Sabrina pauses as he calms her down, then blinks at that*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That's because she's like me.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks over at Zayne, letting her dark features out**
<DeathStar> *Zayne eyes Kaelan, then turns bck to Chris*
<Sara> * Chris eyes Zayne, as well as the magical orb
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Someone sneaking. Look for a sniper, assassin, anything. 6* He says in a gurgly wolf voice to Sabrina.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well if they put the hit out on you Chris. The only way it'll stop is if you get one of these idiots. 6He kicks one lightly with his foot. 1"To take it down."
<DeathStar> *Sabrina uses her magic and throws up something*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...right..." *moves to stand in front of Chris*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sets Sabrina down and runs towards Zayne.
<DeathStar> *Zayne turns to Marcus, tensing and her scythe switching to gun mode* What---?
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus diverts at the last second to leap at someone sneaking up on Zayne.
<DeathStar> *Marcus tackles a figure that is revealed by Sabrina's magic*
<DeathStar> *it looks like a cloaked figure with a needle and trying to grab the orb was nearly on Zayne*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What the?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> ...!
<DeathStar> *she turns and eyes the figure*
<DeathStar> *the figure recovers quickly and pulls out a knife, trying to stab Marcus with a heated blade like Chris uses*
<Seraphna> Thena> Hey! Naughty bad thing!
<DeathStar> *Sabrina uses her magic to heal Marcus of any damage done to him while Lorelei tenses up and gets ready; Locket springs into action*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...could this entire bounty have been a plot to draw Zayne out?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus howls out in pain and loses his grip on the person, laying back as the healing takes over.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think it might have been, but what could be so important that they wanted her?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt raises his pistol, doing his best to try and track the attacker
<Seraphna> Thena> This plot complicated and not ending in a shopping trip with me and Zayne.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> The more important part is how did they sneak up on Zayne without her noticing.
<DeathStar> *Zayne quickly hugs the large orb, aiming at the person with one hand with her gun, firing at the figure who begins to spring away*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So many anti-something somethings..."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...is that orb... actually Sunny?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *looks like she is ready to kill that person*
<Sara> <Chris> ... Why are they copying -me- now?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> If it is, it is quite the trick. Since her body is in a grave
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Oooohhh....
<ChadWinters> 6Durt fires a shot at the person
<DeathStar> *Lorelei notes to Moira, since Lemon has cameras on it, to keep looters away*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I think... maybe the cultists were not after Chris, but this copy that's been posing as Chris.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I thought you said biometrics would spot that?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, but she looked like she was ready to ask that orb to prom for a moment..."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Not if you have the same DNA or can mimic it. Like a Shapeshifter.
<DeathStar> *the attacker is hit and begins to stumble from the attacks, and begins to try to bite down on something*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...suicide pill! 6* He says in gurgled wolf talk
<ChadWinters> 6Durt flicks his pistol to stun and fires a quick shot at it's throat
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That would have been nice to know."
<DeathStar> *The attacker is stunned and goes out cold*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait, are you saying Christina is a fake Christina?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wuuuhhh?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei moves over and pulls the mask off - it looks like a Cobalt officer*
<Sara> * Chris's eyes narrow
<Sara> <Chris> Seriously, now?
<Sara> * She eyes Tabetha
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves over with Lore and kneels down, patting it over for any devices
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly reverts back to normal, looking injured and tired.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... this one is fake?"
<Seraphna> Tabetha? No, that one.
<DeathStar> *they have a teleporter jammers, a maka thing to fool Zayne, a DNA scanner, a personal teleporter to get away, a needle to to get DNA from Zayne*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> **points at the one that went down**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Now I'm more lost
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Me too... and why would they want to get DNA from Zayne?"
<Seraphna> **Tabetha tilts her head** More clones.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Make their own Maka.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei scans the person* This is a human. No clone DNA
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Well my theory is shot then.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Can we drop the clone theory. Its obvious we were beign played either way."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> If you are done being stupid, can I kill the person
<Sara> <Chris> ... What even is their game, though, imitating -me-? Fucking... fuck.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes the Maka thing, pulling out a small orb to scan it.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Don't care.
<DeathStar> *Zayne grabs Durt's hand*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Don't
<Seraphna> Thena> Leave a girl's familiar alone.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt slowly looks back to eye Zayne. 1"Problem?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Can I just say I have no idea what's going on?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> ...
<Sara> * Chris eyes the poor sap of a Cobalt officer
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Don't kill the idiot. We need to get what's in their head."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> What's in his head is dangerous
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Can't find a way to negate it if I don't know how it works. 6He nods towards Sabrina. 1"We have our own Maka to protect.
<Sara> <Chris> Then fill us in on it, girl.
<DeathStar> *Zayne pauses, then throws down her magical shield on the orb, revealing a cute little 1 year old sleeping*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Now should I break my code and shoot you all
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wonder if this gear came from the Cartel vault..."
<Sara> <Chris> ... A baby? What the fuck are you doing with a baby?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And looks like a second reason why I should finish scanning this thing.
<DeathStar> *Zayne takes the little one in her arms*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Why do you think I have a baby?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...who is that?"
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks** Was... is that Sunny?
<DeathStar> <Ren> You kidnapped them?
<Sara> <Chris> She probably stole someone's baby.
<Seraphna> Thena> Or is it yours and Sunny's...
<Sara> <Chris> Sunny's dead. We made sure of it.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei motions Durt to finish scanning while Zayne is distracted*
<Seraphna> Thena> People get better from that all the time.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Can Maka have babies? They're all young right?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Good point..."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt motions his finger and the orb drops from his hand and moves over to the device, and begins to quickly scan it
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ... 6* He squints, looking skeptical of the whole thing.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't want to think about that."
<DeathStar> *Zayne tilts her head at Marcus* How old do you think I am?
<Seraphna> Kalean> Yes, they can.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I don't know. 12?
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I am 40 years old, and physically 16
<Seraphna> Kaelan> In your 20s or so? Wow older, cool.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Not my cup of tea.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Shapeshifter?"
<DeathStar> *Ren makes a face*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I don't know. I don't see age.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Really, Marcus?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *turns to Christina* She is your niece, Chris
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *smiles a little twistedly* Would you like to hold her?
<Sara> <Chris> ... *she narrows her gaze at Zayne*
<Sara> <Chris> ... Fine
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nah I'm lying. 6* He winks at Michiru.
<DeathStar> *Zayne holds out the baby*
<Sara> * Chris takes hold of it carefully, eyeing it suspiciously
<Seraphna> Thena> So cute!
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Tries to do it in her head and makes a face again when Sunny and Zayne were together* She WAS evil
<DeathStar> *Zayne eyes her*
<Sara> * Chris deadpans at Thena being baby-struck like that
<Sara> * She eventually holds the baby out toward Zayne again
<DeathStar> <Zayne> By the way *to Chris* Her name is Sunny. *she takes her back*
<Sara> <Chris> Of course. *she says, dryly, masking her disgust -- barely*
<DeathStar> *for her part, the baby looks normal, even cheerful - as much as a 1 year old can be*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You... want to come back with us? We can provide a safe place for you to raise the kiddo.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Allllright. I'm going home. You all be chill. 6* He stands up and walks off.
<DeathStar> *Zayne smiles* And if I want to keep killing criminals*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha sighs and follows him**
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm out of here.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I mean, we tend to beat up bad guys.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *to Marcus* I will help you locate the Cobalts base on Luna
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It was clearly a ploy to get Sunny's kid and a Maka
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Different strokes for different folks. 6He motions his finger and the orb comes back to his hip, grabbin the teleport blocker. 1"Knock yourself out with this person. But just remember, they know the kid exists."
<DeathStar> < Lorelei> To maybe the bounty will be retracted
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah shit, you're right. I forgot.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I will assume once they learned their ploy failed the bounty should be retracted. But maybe keep Christina around to be safe
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I will keep it in mind. *she tells Kaelan* After all, I have an organization to destroy
<DeathStar> *to Christina* Maybe we'll work together in the future
<DeathStar> *she smiles cheerfully*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina gags*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... ugh..."
<Sara> <Chris> ...You know how to reach us as long as you don't come here with ill intentions. *she isn't comfortable with it either, but...*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...can we wrap it up?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods and smile**
<DeathStar> *Zayne magics out*
<Sara> * Chris's stomach grumbles discomfortedly, as she ponders how many people are going to die from this, many of them simply naive -- and how she's going to have to prepare for it
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *holds head*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Does anyone else hate that girl?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> .. I-I don't hate her. *she lies* But she makes me uncomfortable.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Hate's a strong word.
<Sara> <Chris> She's driven by hate herself. We should endeavour not to be.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> But unless your strong enough to get rid of her. And then leave her kid an orphan, there's not much you can do about it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She just needs to learn to control her darkness.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Assuming she doesn't push her luck and make her daughter an orphan."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I can never figure out what drives her. She thinks she's doing justice by killing evil
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yet she looks emotionless most of the time
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Except when it comes to you, Chris
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think she enjoys poking at you
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... that's it, I'm sure. And of course, they define evil as whatever they don't like."
<Sara> <Chris> Some sort of sick pleasure in messing with me who Sunny hated so much, no doubt.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's probably one of the last connections she has to Sunny. Might be what keeps her from going fully in to evil mode.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I'm not even going to comment on that."
<DeathStar> <Locket> You hear that, Chris? You're family to her
<DeathStar> *she pats her back*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Some family."

<DeathStar> *Charlotte feels like someone is stalking her*
<DeathStar> *it is now behindher*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *spins around*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Hello
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> *he holds little Sunny*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...what is it you want?" *she's very guarded around the Makai*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I was hoping to be shown around - after all, I was asked to join you all
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why me, though?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Because you do not like me
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... what's with that logic?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I can learn more from you then someone trying to lie or butter me up
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You're sure I wouldn't lie?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> It is a probability with your character
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I can't tell what you're up to."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *she walks along* I'm here to learn and observe; what are you here and up to?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I have people I care about here, and that's enough."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> And I have little Sunny
<DeathStar> <Zayne> So where do you recommend I go first?
<Alicia> * Charlotte points out a place. "You seem very calm for someone who just slaughtered a bunch of people before you came here."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I did aim for their legs, arms, and other parts - if people were quick enough I am sure most could have been saved
<DeathStar> <Zayne> After all, they were not my "type"
<DeathStar> *Zayne checks out Katrina's bar*
<DeathStar> *Ren is drinking a smoothie*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt is sitting across from an older looking guy talking to him in a quiet voice before stopping when Charlotte and Zayne walk in.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Did you just blame us for their deaths?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *tilts her head* Are you saying they did not get medical attention after I left?
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Then yes
<DeathStar> *Zayne walks around the area, studying it. Katrina is teaching the red haired Misses T, who you all probably know her name by now, it's ____, some things*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What a lack of responsibility."
<ChadWinters> 6The older man, moves to stand up, pocketing something. 1"I'll let you know if anything changes."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *turns to Charlotte* Hm. Very well. I take responsibility for their deaths. And figuring you all could have done something
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I will not assume next time
<Alicia> * Charlotte watches out of the corner of her eye, trying to identify the older man
<ChadWinters> 6The would depend if she's met Chad before
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm not happy about any of this, but since nothing bad is happening right now, I'll let it slide."
<ChadWinters> And stop being reckless. It's hard to say what your bodies limit is. 6He moves to leave, giving a side glance at Zayne
<DeathStar> *Zayne studies Chad, an odd smile on her face*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> ...
<Alicia> * Charlotte watches the exchange.
* ChadWinters looks like he's been working non-stop for a month yet he moves like he's rested.
<DeathStar> *Zayne watches him go, smiling, then turns back to Charlotte, then holds up Sunny* Would you like to hold her?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You trust me to?" *seems uncertain about all of this*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *smiles oddly* Should you ... not be trusted to?
<DeathStar> *Ren glances at the two*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Don't put words in my mouth."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *Even though she smiles - she doesn't really have emotion in it*
<DeathStar> *almost like she is faking it*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> If you will not harm a child, then I trust you, how is that?
<Sara> * Kaori pats Ren and offers her food, mumbling something about how they probably shouldn't get involved in this
<DeathStar> *Ren leans into the pat and her tails fluff up, eating the food, offering some of her smoothie*
<DeathStar> *Zayne glances at Kaori, spotting her and smiles softly - a geninue smile perhaps*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... this kind of examination is uncomfortable. I feel like you're trying to trick me somehow."
<Alicia> * Charlotte cautiously takes the child and holds her.
<DeathStar> *Zayne curtseys in her gothic like dress* I apologize *she notes in her flat tone* I will take Sunny and leave then
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I should find where the boarding is anyway
* kalonZombie has joined #taw-mini
* kalonZombee has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *hands Sunny back after a moment* "It feels like... you have something missing, at the least."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Do I? *she snuggles Sunny, smiling at her and looks like she is happy*
<DeathStar> <Ren> This is good. *snacks with Kaori*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why do you do what you do?"
<Sara> <Kaori> Yes, the food is good. *she notes, distancing herself mentally from the situation going on near them*
<DeathStar> *Ren orders them a giant chocolate dessert - whip cream, ice cream, chocolate brownie*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *peers at Charlotte, her attitude changing again, and she can see something on ehr shoulder*
<DeathStar> *moving - the maka's little "Friendly" pet*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Are you sure you want to know?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If I say yes, are you going to do something horrible to me?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Mmm, I just might if you want to learn how I see the world
<DeathStar> *her eyes glow a little*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'd rather you not attack me."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Hm? *her eyes stop* And why would I do that to a possible teammate?
<DeathStar> *she smiles at Sunny, all back to "normal"*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *ears twitch*
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch too
<DeathStar> *the foxes are wary*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *eyes Zayne, trying to figure out how much is threat and how much is... emptiness*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I will go now; let me know when you have made up your mind
<DeathStar> *she goes to leave with Sunny*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I can tell you have hesitation on what I might do when I show you, yes?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Obviously."
<DeathStar> <Zayne> When you get over that, let me know and I will show you then
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do you even know what you're saying?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I have no intention to agree to some kind of unknown attack."
Session Time: Tue Apr 21 00:00:00 2020
<DeathStar> *Zayne shrugs, like she could care less*
<DeathStar> *and moves to leave*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Some kind of zombie puppet, I think..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Come join us, Char
<DeathStar> *she waves her over*
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods, heading over... and then she practically clings to Ren.
<DeathStar> *Ren hugs her and pets her head*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm not even sure she should be onboard..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I completely agree
<DeathStar> <REn> I'm still not sure why Kaelan did that
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves to stand up. 1"It's because Kaelan has a Savior Complex.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hrnnn
<DeathStar> *Ren pats Charlotte and Kaori's head, vowing to protect them*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Being irrational at times seems common in Dark Ones... I'm sure it's because of Andrea that Noireikana ended up as sane as she did." *Charlotte starts saying Noire, then halfway through the name remembers recent events*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Noireikana?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I was about to say Noire."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *nods, understanding8
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I hope she's still... Noire. I don't know Reikana well, so that part doesn't bother me."
<DeathStar> *Ren's ear twitches* I am sure she is
<DeathStar> *Ren makes a soft smile*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt grabs something off his table. 1"You shouldn't hope for someone's identity to be supressed like that." 6He then grabs a bottle of booze from his table and pops the top off.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Noire or Reikana?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Based on your last statement, you want Rei's identity to be suppressed.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Reikana and Noire share time
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...if one of them had to be, yes. But I just don't know Reikana, so that part is..."
<DeathStar> *Ren folds her hands quietly, listening to Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I thought they'd become the same person?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> It is possible
<DeathStar> <Ren> Reikana, from what I understand, was the original personality and she made Noire due to something in her past. Some trama
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Easy for you because it's a nobody to you. 6He takes a pull. 1"Makes sense. Has logic behind it. A little on the inhumane side, but reasonable.
<DeathStar> <Ren> But I don't know if the two have reintregrated or not
<DeathStar> <Ren> Noire has always has Reikana's memories, but not the other way around, since she's rejected Noire.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> She's similiar to how Chad and Id were. Two sides of the same coin with one being boxed away.
<DeathStar> <Ren> If this has caused it to stop, we'll see. But we'll find out in the upcoming months. But I think maybe we'll see the two sharing memories
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *to Durt* "Yes. And I am evil, after all." *to Ren* "I'd be happy if so, just as long as it doesn't mean me losing my friend."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Evil is a relative term. 6He shrugs. 1"You just don't have a problem making a decision based solely on your personaly needs
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm impressed."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That was a very nuanced understanding of the world."
<DeathStar> *there's a crash in a table nearby*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt scratches the side of his arm with his free arm. 1"People are selfish, it's just, well human nature." 6He glances over at the crash
<DeathStar> *Locket is arm wrestling with Michiru*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Those two
<DeathStar> <Ren> They get along well
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "They really do."
<Sara> * Kaori scratches the side of her head
<DeathStar> <Ren> *to Kaori* Charlotte, Kaori!
<DeathStar> *she announces suddenly* I've decided I want to throw a party of sorts, But we need a theme.
<Alicia> * Charlotte considers
<DeathStar> <Ren> Besides having plenty of food, should it be a beach party, haunted house theme, dance like party. *eyes her datapad*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Um, what else is popular
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, I should get back to trying to help Lore find a world suitable for the soul Well.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Good luck. I'll send an invite to you, too
<DeathStar> <Ren> Maybe a spy theme?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If I have free time. 6He waves a hand behind him as he moves to leave
<Sara> <Kaori> Anime party. *yawns; her stomach rumbles*
<DeathStar> *Ren nods* With cosplaying
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sounds good!"
<DeathStar> *Ren begins to set things up, holding out some of her food to Kaori to eat*
<Sara> * Kaori eats
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'll get the venue for us
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We're inviting... Reikana, right?" *Charlotte pauses to ensure she gets the name correct this time*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sure, we can invite Reikana / Noire. *she smiles softly, since she knows Charlotte will hope it is Noire that attends*
<DeathStar> *Ren plots with the two what all they should do and have to eat*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess I'll have to pick a cute outfit when we do this
<DeathStar> *meanwhile, at the hell of justice - aka the medical bay*
<DeathStar> *Cuddles checks in on a mysterious patient*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Mmmhm. Mmmhm
<DeathStar> *jots notes*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I think Patient C is ready for the wide world soon
* kalonZombie has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Seraphna> **Jennifer wraps Cuddles in a hug from behind**
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Hm? Ah. Hi
<DeathStar> *she smiles*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> How’s work going hon?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> It looks like patient C is ready to leave when they wish
<Seraphna> Jennifer> That’s good, I’ll notify her contact. What about you? Ready to get lunch when you wish?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Sure. *she puts her hands into her doctor's coat* I guess I can do that
<Seraphna> **Jen nods and leads her out as she lets someone know to pick up the patient**
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I will be curious what they do from here
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Personally I say they shouldn’t care what others think. But you know me. **wraps an arm around her**
<DeathStar> <CuddleS> True. *they pass Zayne who has a room card now*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer gives her a polite nod** So dear, still all work and no play?
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Play? *she looks confused* There is still a lot of bad people left. *she says simply, then rocks Sunny and moves on*
<Seraphna> **Jen smiles to Cuddles** And you?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Oh, yeah, I totally have a ton of bad people left on my check list
<DeathStar> *she notes casually, yawning sleepily*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> ... *Raises eyebrow and moves on*
<Seraphna> **Jen tickles her ear** Now now, patients are sick, not bad.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Oh right, I forget
<DeathStar> *she follows Jen*
<Seraphna> **Jen snickers and heads for Katrina’s**

<DeathStar> *Ren rolls in the snow in the PAX Snow zone*
<DeathStar> *there is also news of a Cosplayer Party being planned*
<Alicia> Yes
<DeathStar> *a mysterious voice says yes, as if urging people to join the party*
<DeathStar> *Ren makes a giant snowman that is 10 feet tall in fox form*
<Alicia> * Charlotte helps, being impressed with Ren's abilities
<DeathStar> *Ren leaps onto Charlotte's head, then onto the snowman, putting a hat*
<DeathStar> *she then leaps back onto Charlotte*
* KAS_ has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Alicia> * Charlotte hugs the fox warmly, smiling
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs into her humanoid form and Ren smiles, her tails swishing* Thanks for the help. *she studies the big snowman, adjusting her coat* Is there anything else you want to do out here?
<Alicia> * Charlotte blushes a little. "What do you want to do?"
<DeathStar> *Ren takes her hand and muses* Let's see, other than playing in the snow, this place has skiing, snowboarding, *she glances at a pamplet* Lodges to enjoy snow related things. I think if there is anything related to snow, Erevis packed it in. Or we could go to the beach, or back to the bar.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hmm... I think I want to try snowboarding."
<DeathStar> *Ren grins* That does sound fun. *they go over and Ren studies a few snow boards to pick out* Hmmm.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Have you done it before?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I admit I haven't. I semi-skateboarded when I was little, but that was about it. *she grabs goggles and eyes the mountain*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think it's about the same thing?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Probably. I want to learn it."
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> *Ren rides a lift up to the top of the mountain with Charlotte, holding their boards*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You ready?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods as they reach the top of it, where it's surprisingly realistic - it is hard to believe they are on a ship*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Okay, this is a beginner's course
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I bet you'll ace this."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'll try to live up to your expectations. *she moves and begins to slide down on the board - and comedically begins to balance, using her tails to compenstate. It looks rather funny as she begins to pick up speed and avoids things along the way, flailing her arms; but she does seem to do a little better along the way until she tumbles a little, landing on her rump and laughs*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I guess it is different after all."
<Alicia> * Charlotte moves to help Ren up
<DeathStar> *Ren brushes snow off* I guess so, but I think I know what to do next time
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And I don't even have tails to help balance."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I believe in you.
<DeathStar> *she whispers something*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...you know that already? Clever little fox."
<Alicia> * Charlotte then moves onto the board, sliding down perfectly... for about two seconds, before she too loses balance and falls over.
<DeathStar> *Ren eeks and runs over and helps Charlotte up*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Are you okay?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah, I just... didn't realise it was so difficult."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We'll get this."
<DeathStar> <Ren> You're right
<DeathStar> *she beams and tries again with Charlotte, getting a little further, clearly relying on her tails - the cheat*
<DeathStar> *before wobbily crossing the end*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I-I did it. *very, very poorly*
<Alicia> * Charlotte doesn't mind cheating at all, but just wishes that particular cheat was possible for her. Instead, she just tries the normal way, doing a lot better than before, but still doing little more than just balancing on the board... mostly. She makes it about halfway this time before falling over, but she's definitely getting the hang of things.
<DeathStar> *Ren rushes back over, panting back up the mountain and helps her up*
<Alicia> * Charlotte hugs her tightly. "You're so sweet.. I think I have it now."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets do it then
<DeathStar> *Ren follows Charlotte's lead and tries her method, going down*
<DeathStar> *Ren makes it finally and twirls*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yay
<Alicia> * Charlotte tries once last time, a little clumsily, but managing to correct herself whenever she's starting to lose her balance, making it to the end without too much trouble.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Got it!"
<DeathStar> *Ren twirls with Charlotte* We did it! We're boarding masters
<DeathStar> *her tails wag*
<Alicia> * Charlotte considers mentioning that this is the beginner course, but decides against it. Maybe next time. For now, it's time to revel in victory.
<DeathStar> *Ren seems chipper, having forgot that detail*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Want to try something else or keep practicing?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No reason to stop. Lets increase our mastery."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods and leads Charlotte up, looking all serious - apparently one who takes mastering something seriously. She goes down the course one more time, this time a little better*
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods in approval, heading down the course once more, her previous clumsiness gradually fading as she practices.
<DeathStar> *soon, the two have leveled up in snowboarding to Level 3*
<DeathStar> *Ren pants, tired* Whew, I think we're good at it
<DeathStar> <Ren> Want to get hot cocoa or something?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *looking tired* "Yes. Lets go somewhere more relaxing."
<DeathStar> *Ren takes them to the lodging and gets them nice hot drinks and sits at the table* That was fun. Thank you for joining me. I haven't had this much fun in .. for a long time
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I hope it never ends. Or at least, something like this happens every day."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *nods* Lets make plans to do stuff then whenever we hve time
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right. And plans to do new stuff when we're able."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I like that idea. *she finishes her drink, her tails curling*
<DeathStar> *Ren beams*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So cute."
<DeathStar> *Ren blushes and her right ear twitches* T-They move without me realizing sometimes. Anyway, I have an interesting location I can show you today if you want
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Where's that?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> The PAX's sister ship; it's not as powerful since it's not a true Progenitor ship, but it was built "based" on it. It's called the Iron Paw
<DeathStar> <Ren> It's a ship for the Famfrits
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Neat. Even though... isn't Thena a Famfrit?" *she grins a little as if making fun of her indirectly*
<DeathStar> <Ren> She is!
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Kaelan's mother runs the Iron Paw
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, well I'm sold again."
<DeathStar> *Ren takes them back to the normal PAX, putting up the winter clothes, and moves to the hanger and crosses into the Iron Paw - which looks a little like the PAX in design - but cat themed*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ooh, nice. The kitty PAX."
<DeathStar> *they pass the various types of Famfrits*
<DeathStar> *the cat types, the elven types*
<DeathStar> *the types like Megumi who have trouble with light, the type who ar fine with it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Some bits of this seem familiar, like someone I met once who I can't remember..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, did you ever come here before?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No, it was someone on the PAX, a while ago.."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, I wonder who that could have been,
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Someone important, but I haven't seen them around."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wonder who it could have been.
Session Time: Fri Apr 24 00:00:00 2020
<DeathStar> *Ren takes them to the Ulieah room* This is where Ulieah lives as well as the bridge area
<DeathStar> <Ren> *knocks*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No clue.. I probably won't see them again for a long time."
<Seraphna> **The door opens and a Kitsune girl peeks out, tilting her head** Hello Ren.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hi!
<DeathStar> <Ren> I was showing Charlotte around the Iron Paw
<DeathStar> *her tails wave in greeting
<Seraphna> **Gabby nods and lets them in, smiling, she's older than Kaelan and Zegretta, and resembles in some ways Jennifer and in other ways Cheryl**
<DeathStar> *Ren looks around the command area/living area of the Iron Paw*
<Seraphna> **The living area is for a large family, a kitchen and living room setting with a door leading to the bridge and various bedrooms, and a bathing area, Ulieah is in an apron cooking while Kaelan seems to be trying to get a dark haired Kitsune to play a game with her**
<DeathStar> *A famfrit sits in the corner that looks a little like Megumi but isn't quit like her, messing with things - Imugem
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is that... no."
<DeathStar> <Imugem> Hm?
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Oh hello!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sorry, you just look like the first Famfrit I ever met. I haven't seen them since though."
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Oh, Megumi, that's because she spends like 23 hours a day in her lab.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That was her!"
<Seraphna> Ulieah> This is my wife Imugem! **the reverse name seems entirely lost on her**
<DeathStar> <Imugem> Call me Gem
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh. Ohhh. Well, I hope you see her all the time!"
<DeathStar> <Gem> Megumi is the Famfrit de-facto leader in some ways
<Seraphna> Ulieah> And in other ways, we are. **She grins**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hard to lead from a lab... except in science."
<DeathStar> <Gem> You are right about that
<DeathStar> *Ren meanwhile is getting into some food*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Mom says it's incredible how much she's changed, but then, Mom changed as much since they met." *correct if Fox and Megumi never actually met in main line TAW*
<Seraphna> **Uliesh smiles and fixes them both plates, then calls to the rest** Girls! Food time!
<DeathStar> (they met briefly)
<DeathStar> (S12)
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I heard Katrina's bartender used to be wild, too."
<DeathStar> <Ren> She had another bartender before the one now?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I mean... before she became a bartender."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "At least... I think before then...?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, what do bartenders do when they are not bartending , I woner
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Normal people things?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, I wonder. *looks like she plans to spy on Katrina's bartender now, curious*
<DeathStar> *tail swishing*
<Alicia> * Charlotte hears that, and then also looks like she plans to spy on Katrina's bartender too
<DeathStar> <Gem> You two kids have a lot of time on your hands, huh?
<DeathStar> <Gem> *shows them Ulieah's beanie collection, as well as the Iron Paw's bridge controls*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan follows around eating a sandwich and dragging around the dark haired Kitsune who seems mostly silent and out there**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm still in training... who's that?"
<DeathStar> *Sudako stalks them, too*
<DeathStar> *Ren snacks some more*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This? This is Zeal, she’s my sister.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I thought Zeal was a rumor
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Nah, she’s just quiet.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's fine.. I understand shyness. Or... maybe it's more than that?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *shrugs*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are you alright?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *offers Zeal a snack*
<DeathStar> *Charlotte's Thena radar button goes off*
<DeathStar> *I mean, every nemesis has to have one*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan smiles and offers it to Zeal for Ren, she eats it quietly**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh no."
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Zeal been like this for long time.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wonder what happened.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I wonder too..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I won't pry though..."
<DeathStar> *the Thena Radar seems to be back on the PAX - it looks like she is up to something. outside the Iron Paw's window, one can see what looks to be like something in the hanger*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> When we were little, there was an accident they killed off most of our family. Momma Ulieah adopted us after.
<DeathStar> *Sudako eyes her, like she might eat her*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nips Su’s ear**
<DeathStar> <Sudako> Ow
<Seraphna> Kaelan> No eating my twin.
<DeathStar> <Sudako> Y-Yes mistress
<DeathStar> *Gem eats food, peering out the window at the antics on the PAX*
<Alicia> * Charlotte stares at the table, with an expression that suggests that her mind is elsewhere after the family comment
<DeathStar> <Sudako> Does Charlotte have a twin sister?
<Alicia> * Charlotte brings herself back to reality. "I... don't think so... I don't remember well that far back..."
<DeathStar> <Sudako> Oh. *mumbles about not being able to eat her's*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan curls her tails around Su**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... what are you saying?"
<DeathStar> *Sudako eeps*
<DeathStar> <Sudako> I can tell my jokes are failing
<DeathStar> *she hangs her head*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I might have a twin sister somewhere, though."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Really?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's possible, it's not like I'd know."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *she takes Charlotte's hand* Well if you do we'll find out one day.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Here I thought you just liked my punishments my little Puff.
<DeathStar> *Sudako jerks*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It just hit hard, hearing someone else lost their parents."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan smiles** Well... something to know about our group. Almost all of us reborn kids are orphans.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Reborn kids?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Me, Zegretta, Zeal, Rachael, Valen, the others, those of us Lore says are from another time.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No wonder I feel like I understand Zegretta so well."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> From what I can gather, that was true of our old selves too. I guess time plays jokes like that.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Must be nice to have such a strong bond..."
<Alicia> * Charlotte edges closer to Ren
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Nothing stronger than family.
<DeathStar> *Ren nuzzles Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess it's lucky Erevis and Lenneth, as well as Isis and athena have a good orphan program..
<DeathStar> *she notes softly*
<DeathStar> *since they were all Empresses*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Especially the family you make." *doesn't seem to have realised the alternative meaning of her words
<DeathStar> *Ren nods at Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *since her family motto is all about that due to Cheryl*
<DeathStar> *Warren comes in, stalking something*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Ummm... hello Warren.
<Seraphna> **Gabby and Lilith peek out at their grandfather**
<DeathStar> <Warren> Thena snuck in this way after stealing my stuff
<DeathStar> *likely his pills*
<DeathStar> *Warren holds his gun*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... what a cheeky little pirate."
<DeathStar> *Warren lifts things up with his gun, checking the room out*
<DeathStar> <Ren> She is a Dread Pirate
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is she really so dread?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, more like dread-ed?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ninjas are still better."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *nods* I can see that
<Seraphna> Gabby> Grandpa, how many pills are you taking?
<DeathStar> *Warren eyes her* .... *then goes back to hunting Thena*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Enough to cover my old body
<Seraphna> Lilith> I dunno, baby sis would only take them if you’ve been naughty.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *aims at a certain spot, having locked in on Thena*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Warren, no firing a gun in my family chambers.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *sighs, and puts it up, having it on stun anyway*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Was he really going to shoot?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is that really true? Mom always spoke highly of Warren... except about being so trigger happy."
<Seraphna> **Muffled Arrrr from under a couch**
<DeathStar> *Warren suddenly, despite his old age - he looks to be in his late 50's, which means he's probably older, or he's treated his body badly, moves like a viper, and yanks Thena out*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oooh, you so clumsy!"
<Seraphna> **Thena squeaks, dangling** Oh hi Grandpa!
<DeathStar> <Warren> The goods. Then go play with your friends. Also, tell Fox I said hi.
<Seraphna> **Another Thena hides behind Charlotte**
<DeathStar> *to Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Will do!"
<Seraphna> Thena> Yarrr, a Dread Pirate never gives up her Cap’n!
<DeathStar> *Warren tosses his gun, without firing, at an angle over Charlotte, to land on the other Thena's head, and flicks something at another corner*
<Seraphna> **Thena 2 squeaks and stumbles, and a third leaps out of hiding**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *approving* "Now that's the kind of moves I'd expect from you."
<Seraphna> Thena> When did Grandpa get so fast!?
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's not fast, you just rely on that move
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Maybe you got slow."
<DeathStar> <Warren> A lot
<DeathStar> *Warren sits down, dangling the Thena he's holding*
<Seraphna> Thena> Cuz it’s fun!
<Seraphna> Thena 2> And they never expect the rest of my moves.
<Seraphna> Thena 3> Or my sassy style!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... that is a good reason, actually."
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... You better hope that is the case, because if they predict this move enough, they'll stop you cold before you move onto them
<Seraphna> **Thena hands him his pills, in a box of solid manifestation crystal, as if to emphasize the fact that she keeps other moves hidden**
<DeathStar> *Warren grunts*
<Seraphna> Thena> Love you grandpa.
<DeathStar> *Then slowly lifts his hand up, not caring if this is the real one or not, and grabs Thena with one hand*
<DeathStar> *lifting her up*
<Seraphna> **Thena wiggles**
<DeathStar> *holding her by the head with it*
<DeathStar> <Warren> *Grunt* *grunt grunt* *Grunt*
<Seraphna> Thena> Awwww, Granoa
<Seraphna> Thena> Grandpa~!
<Seraphna> (Typo)
<DeathStar> *Warren hands Thena to Charlotte*
<Seraphna> **The other two Thenas “hop” into that one**
<DeathStar> *Warren nods approvingly*
<DeathStar> *Warren moves to go* Have fun with your bestie
<DeathStar> *he steps out*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... did he just roast me?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Nope. Once I unlock your romance path it will be true.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think he roasted Thena?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Meaning Thena thinks you're her BFF?
<Seraphna> Thena> He said he loves me|
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Gasps* Thena has no friends but you?!
<DeathStar> <Ren> That's kind of sad to only have a nemesis as a friend
<Seraphna> **Thena looks hurt** Y-You’re not my friend, Ren?
<DeathStar> <Ren> *jerks* I-I'm your friend, jeeze
<Seraphna> **Thena paws**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Also he just grunted, when did he say love?
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena speaks fluent Warren.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What a tsundere."
<DeathStar> <Ren> A-Am not
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I meant Warren."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You're just a cutey."
<DeathStar> *Ren blushes*
<Seraphna> Thena> Gasp! Ren is cutting off my romance path!
<DeathStar> <Ren> *her ears perk up*
<DeathStar> <Ren> H-hmph. *she leans against Charlotte a little* Y-You'd just tease her
<Seraphna> Thena> Guess I’ll have to romance her too.
<DeathStar> *Ren jerk more*
<Seraphna> Thena> Have Lotsa friends. Got Charlotte and Ren and Rio and Heaven and Grandpa and Ben and... and... Katrina and...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are you really trying to Suisen Law your way into this?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think so, but doesn't Thena have ...
<DeathStar> *she counts*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hmph.
<Seraphna> Thena> Mew?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You have too many wives."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I mean there isn't a limit...
<DeathStar> <Ren> But come on. Hmph
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Trying to snag us too is just too much."
<DeathStar> *Ren playfully pokes Thena*
<DeathStar> <Ren> But you are invited to our cosplayer party when we hold it
<Seraphna> Thena> I only have two though!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... two what? Outfits? Because there's no way that's wives."
<DeathStar> *Ren giggles*
<Seraphna> Thena> Rio and Heaven are wives.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I do like you two's dynamic
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, what about everyone else?"
<DeathStar> *Ren leans into Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm

<DeathStar> *Cheryl decides to have a Dragoon thing later, inviting Hotaru and Angela when they have time (the players), to chat in a booth*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl hands Angela a fruit drink that is safe* Here you go
<Seraphna> **Angela sips**
<DeathStar> *Zephyr props her head up at the table* Is it good?
<Alicia> * Hotaru sits nearby. "I'm wondering myself."
<DeathStar> *Zephyr offers her older sister a smile*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It is if you like sweet stuff.
<Seraphna> Angela> Yep! Bunny Approved.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It feels like it's been ages since all of us just had a while to chat. If Ariel was here it'd really feel like old times
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I should invite her next time
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Reminds me of times we would all hang out and deal with problems with VI or Erusian crisises
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I could do without dealing with VI ever again, mind."
<Seraphna> Angela> Peace is a bit more enjoyable.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Agreed, though I have a feeling it won't last forever. All the more reason to enjoy it right now, though."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, the VI of your era is gone; some knock off Sun VI is around, but it's mostly just a ghost of itself
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> They made some A.I version of Venerator that we destroyed. It downloaded itself into any clone on the planet before we did.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Creepy stuff
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... that really is creepy. Especially if it's not just Venerator that could happen to." *shudders*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, especially if there are any left. Taiga's club fought a few, which means that there might have been some clones there were transformed even after we stopped it
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, basically, the Venerator Intelligence transformed clones into a robotic Venerator. Adeline almost turned into him.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It was rather extreme stuff.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Wait, Adeline too?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It seems clones all over the globe were seeded with the virus by Sun VI. We did a counter virus to stop it. But if Zephyr is right and some clones were missed, that means some Venerator A.Is might be running around.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. If you had any cloned parts, like a hand, or an eye, the virus attacked you
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "You countervirused the Kane and Ceilidh clones, I hope."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm sure Cuddles and Jennifer were on it. *She peers at Angela*
<Seraphna> Angela> One of the first things they covered I believe.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'm not surprised, but I felt I had to make sure."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How are those two anyway?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think Cuddles checked them out onto their own devices
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Last I saw, they're adapting, but it might take a while. A lot has changed."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *nods* Well we can just be around to help how we can
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, Hotaru
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'm sure they'll be fine though, if losing your blog is big enough to be on Ceilidh's mind."
<DeathStar> *she leans in* I've been wondering
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Oh?"
<DeathStar> *Zephyr cozies up and puts an arm around her* You and Em have a kid. Congratulations. But I also noticed her name is Michiru. Anything you're keeping from your sisters? *Cheryl looks clueless, having been a drunk in S9*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I don't know what you're suggesting."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aw.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She's a tough nut to crack
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aw, leave her alone. Hotaru though, you certainly have grown up. *she smiles* I'm just glad to see you happy
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Thanks. I'm glad to see everyone happy."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So have you been involved in any projects or anything big lately?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes, made any nemesises?
<Seraphna> **Angela muses** Speaking of which, there’s another McCormick walking about.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *to Cheryl* "I hope not..." *to Angela* "You mean Locket?"
<Seraphna> Angela> Well, not walking yet.
<Seraphna> Angela> Nah, Tabetha’s latest kid.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Oh.. no wonder I didn't know yet then."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I heard rumors that Tabetha demanded a kid or something because John left this timeline
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Isn't John senile?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> His DNA is breaking up
<Seraphna> Angela> Kind of a momento. John’s condition was getting close to terminal and the cure won’t exist for about 13 years.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "You're making him sound like a clone."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> From what I understand, it's genetics
<Seraphna> Angela> So Fate sort of took him forward to get cured.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Katrina and Erevis kind of have a mild case of it, but being female, it didn't hit them like it did John.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Apparently males in his family have it worse
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... I'm so glad a cure's on the way."
<Seraphna> **Angela nods** Jennifer is brewing up the cure.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, it would be nice to see John in his prime again. He's been off for a while now
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The last time I saw him he was talking to a plant
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... weirdly, I can imagine that."
<Seraphna> Angela> Well we won’t see him again for a while. Tabetha has changed too... I’d been wondering if his condition affected her through the bond.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He also claimed to hear voices of people in another place once, talking about various things. About things called Ace Combat, or Final Fantasy 7 Remake, or Persona 5 Royals.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl muses*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Now that's just weird."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I thought the bond was fixed so the pilot couldn't affect the Dragoon
<Seraphna> Angela> Reminds me of that time after the box got opened that we met that loon that said he broke the fourth wall. Whatever that is.
<Seraphna> Angela> True, but Tabetha was also one of the only Psionic Dragoons. We don’t know how that affected her.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "It's a theater term... but this isn't theater."
<DeathStar> *Zephyr tries to look up various terms* Well, for now, we can just distract Tabetha if need be. By the way
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Have you all heard about the new super hero on Luna?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is that Sparkling Justice? She left.
<DeathStar> <ZephyR> No no no, this one wears a mask and cape
<Seraphna> Angela> Lunar Girl?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "So, Luna loses a Magical Girl and gains a Superhero."
<Seraphna> Angela> Wonder if my daughter is training people.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *eyes photos of Lunar Girl prancing around the rooftops of Luna*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She looks young
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who seriously dresses like a super hero
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hotaru, wear a mask and cape
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Well, Sparkling looks younger... and... no, Maka have a reason to... wait, what?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Now?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll buy it for you next time we meet up
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look forward to it
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Why am I dreading this?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because you are smart?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl just is humming*
<Seraphna> Angela> Si dresses like that. **shows them a picture of a woman in a red leather biker suit with gauntlets, shin guards and a helmet, bunny ears visible and a flowing cape with a fire design**
<Seraphna> Angela> I swear if she didn’t have the Gitari ears I’d think John somehow snuck his DNA into that one.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "That actually looks kind of cool."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That is cool
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh. *takes notes for some reason*
<Alicia> * Michiru peeps in, looking at the picture.
<Seraphna> **Angela giggles** I suppose so. She's totally into the Superhero thing.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Which superhero would that be?"
<DeathStar> *Zephyr studies the picture, then Michiru, then back, huhing*
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh this? Blaze.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I should make a cool outfit for myself. Hey, Michiru, do you want a super hero outfit, too, when I make Hotaru one?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I never thought about it, but that would be cool."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm on it then
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are we starting like a super hero club here?
<Seraphna> Angela> Well I already do form the full suit of armor and magic sword.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cheater
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Now I feel like the emo kid of the group."
<DeathStar> *Zephyr hugs*
<Alicia> * Hotaru hugs back
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You been up to anything fun lately, you two?
<DeathStar> *she asks Hotaru and Michiru*
* Jackieness has joined #taw-mini
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<DeathStar> *Cheryl leans back in her seat. Suddenly, something leaps onto Michiru's head*
<Alicia> * Hotaru looks over, while Michiru tries to but fails
<DeathStar> *a wolf looking fox cub tries to nab their food*
<DeathStar> *reaching down with a paw*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *gives the fox cub some of her food*
<DeathStar> *they sit down and nom*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sighs* My family
<Alicia> <Michiru> "What's up?"
<Seraphna> **Angela grins** Oh just wait, the next one will have a huge carnivore trait.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just them begging for food. *another fox cub climbs up Angela*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Should I be scared?"
<DeathStar> *and sits on the table*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *Facepalms*
<Seraphna> **Angela smiles and feeds the cub**
<DeathStar> *they eat it*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "But really, should I ask?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This is my daughter and my granddaughter
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Taiga and Ren
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And they like to use their cuteness to get free food
<Seraphna> **A teenage bunnygirl with white hair, ears and tail and a slightly asian look to her pops up and nab Taiga** Fuuuuu.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "If I could do that..."
<DeathStar> *the one fox squirms*
<Alicia> * Hotaru looks over. <Michiru> "I'm not sure."
<DeathStar> *flailing for fun*
<DeathStar> *flailing for help even*
<Seraphna> Si> Gotcha!
<Seraphna> Angela> And this is Si'Chii.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You want to turn into something cute for free food?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Not so much for free food, but..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah, I see. Hm. Well. If you want that, only one person can teach you that power. Or.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can build you a device that might can semi do that that for you
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Wait, you can just... learn it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come see me later
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It is possible. Maybe
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I hate this growing feeling of dread."
<Seraphna> **Si starts to make off with the Taiga fox** Fuuuuu.
<DeathStar> *Taiga yips for heeeelp*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But you might can get the power of turning into a cute fox by bonding with a Kitsune. Maybe
<DeathStar> *Cheryl works on a gadget*
<Seraphna> **Si gasps** Taiga! Bonding time! **she runs off with her to become the world's first Foxbunny**
<DeathStar> *Taiga flails*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "...oh, okay. That was more normal than I expected."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I'm not going to just select a bondmate by who gives me the cutest alternate form though."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, you should care about them as a friend
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Or more
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> In the meantime I'll work on a device, like I said. come see me later
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What sort of device is this?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I figure I can make something that might can temporarily use your dragoon powers to make you into a fox for a little while, tapping into your dragon form and do that. If that fails, do an illusion thing that makes you look like a fox
<DeathStar> *Ren sprawls out, full*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Would you like a device, too, Hotaru? Angela?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... I feel like this..." *she pauses* "I want to say yes, and yet... I feel like this is a trap, somehow."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aw. No trust in your big sister
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... you're right. I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> *She hugs*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's the spirit
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> *Cheryl goes to the lab she has set up on the PAX and begins to work on a bracelet*

<DeathStar> *Ren props head up
<DeathStar> *Ren goes through paperwork on Cran stuff, ordering meat. Taiga sits by her, going stuff on her datapad at Katrina's, who is talking to Madame T*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps inside, adjusting her glasses*
<DeathStar> *Ren glances up* Hey, Noire. *she pats a seat*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hello." *moves over to take a seat*
<DeathStar> <Ren> How have you been? *she offers her some food* Charlotte has been asking after you a lot. She also invites you to a Cosplay Party we're going to hold in a little while if you're up to it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... a cosplay party?" *grabs a bite*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'll send you the information when I know more. *she studies Noire to see how she is holding up, when Katrina sets a plate of Noire's favorite food; walking by she hears two girls talking about how there's a new date for Reikana/Zero's singing next month* I was --- *at that moment Sabrina trips when she sees Noire, then shakily comes in and takes a seat, sweating*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Someone has been training."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> M-Miss Student Council President!! *she hands her something*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmmm? Is this a letter of challenge?" *looks at it*
<DeathStar> *it seems to be homemade candy to show her respect*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Do colleges even have council presidents...?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmmm.... yes, they do, actually... though..." *looks up* "I accept this epace offering."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wow. ... wait, you really are our council President?!
<DeathStar> *Ren jerks*
<DeathStar> *Taiga snickers*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina bows her head repeatedly to Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You cna stop now."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> May I stop by and talk to you from time to time?
<DeathStar> *she asks*
<Alicia> * Charlotte wanders in, heading over to the group
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You may do so."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "How is everyone?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Hello, um. *she studies Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Sharbot?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Charlotte. Though I've got to remember Charbot for a puppet name."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey, Charlotte. *her tails wag a little*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Noire is here
<Alicia> * Charlotte blushes a bit at Ren, then nods, before looking over to Noire. "I wasn't sure when I'd see you again."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh? Did uou need to see me?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Need, no, want, yes. Though I've got to at least mention the cosplay party coming up." *she gives a date, or as close as one as has been decided on* "You'll be there, right?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes, how could I resist?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte hugs Noire. "I knew you'd like it."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *watches the two, eating her food8
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Cosplay. Hm. That means costume player, right?
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Am I a costume player?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do you want to be?"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina shrugs, not really sure what it means*
<Jackieness> .noi "A magical girl would be one by definition, I think."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "A magical girl would be one by definition, I think."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Straight from the expert."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I see. *she transforms her clothes into a cute outfit*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wish I could do that with my clothes
* Stretch`cell has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 378 seconds)
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's a better quick outfit change that I could ever do."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ah, yes... you never got to see the rest of Reikana's concert."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I hear it's been rescheduled for next month
<DeathStar> <Ren> Along with that Zero girl
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And hopefully without an interruption this time."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, I really hope so..."
<DeathStar> <Voice> What sort of interruptions/
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances over*
<Alicia> * Charlotte does too
<DeathStar> *Andrea prances inside, looking young again and bows, hopping onto the counter and hands Charlotte something* So, I heard rumors that a crazy makai lives on the PAX now
<Alicia> * Charlotte shudders a little, remembering Zayne. "That's true."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then looks at Sabrina*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *frowns a little*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> apparently she was invited onto the ship. Like a vampire!!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...is that how that works?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Maybe. I just not sure if I can shoot her if she has blessings while on her. Maybe I should ask Nico or Sparkling
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I thought she was just going to be one of those judgemental types who declares people evil for not fitting their criteria, but... she's... more like a zombie."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Sounds like she's emotionally dead then."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Absolutely."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm. She doesn't sound very fun then
<DeathStar> *sighs*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Now now, mother. What plans did you have?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well I was going to check her out and see while I was finishing a project. By the way, after the first of April, I'll be gone for a long while
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Gone? Where? Why?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I felt it's time for me to have a change of pace; with Elwyn gone right now doing her own things, I thought I'd look into this enemy Dark Ones for you all. It might take a while
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that's dangerous..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... please take care of yourself..."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You know me, I'm not going anywhere. *she pats their backs* Now let me go check out this Makai. *she hops into the shadows*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I can never follow that one
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I want to believe that."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'm her daughter. Seh actually cranks it up when I'm around."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You have a good mother."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmm... I guess I do." *crosses ehr arms*
<DeathStar> *Ren orders them all a giant chocolate sweet*
<DeathStar> *to share, studying Charlotte and Noire, wondering how those two will get along*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I hope I'm not causing trouble for anyone."
<DeathStar> <Ren> What makes you think that?
<DeathStar> *her tails curling around her a bit*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She started acting weird after... well..." *she trails off, unsure how to say any of it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "About the time of my confessing my feelings."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *blinks, peering after the way Andrea, then Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm lost
<Jackieness> <Noire> "As am I."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't feel qualified to talk about her feelings, if I even understand them."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Still lost."
<Alicia> * Charlotte does not understand them
<DeathStar> <Ren> *offers a brownie* So you confessed to Andrea?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No. I confessed to Noire, and that bothered her."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods* Oh. Huh. Strange... I didn't think anything got to that one.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Confessed what to me?"
<DeathStar> *Ren blinks at Noire not remembering the other day*
<DeathStar> *then again the past few days have been crazy*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... it was supposed to be a love confession? It ended up being just giving you both chocolate..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I recall the chocolaate... didn't really pick up on the love."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But... that was the most stereotypical tsundere act I could muster..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Of course... considering that one of my mothers died in the meantime..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... yeah... I... I'm glad you're holding up."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...now then... is this confession the true purpose of trying to lure me to that frozen wasteland?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yes, that was supposed to be a date... it ended up as one, just not the type I intended."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises a brow*
<DeathStar> *Ren munches happily*
<DeathStar> *not listening fully as she gives them privacy*
<DeathStar> *or at least - pretending to*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...Ren's cute."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmm-hmm..."
<DeathStar> *a tail wags slightly*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *amused to Madame T* Should I hook you up with someone, too? Or is you know who good enough for you. *pats T's body*
<Alicia> <T> "It'd feel like cheating, somehow. It's strange how love works, isn't it?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> So, um
<DeathStar> <Ren> *she speaks up, figuring the two are done*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Should we have a theme, or should we have more fun
<DeathStar> <Ren> And do surprise cosplay at the party
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Surprise cosplay is when we wear anything? *she speaks up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "A theme would be fun."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If we have a theme, we'd have to decide on one. Any ideas?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, good question. Mecha?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lots of characters in gears/mecha
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I like it if you do." *looks to the pair*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Explain how that would work."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Dressing up as characters in mecha anime?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right
<Jackieness> <Noire> "But the same frnachise, I mean?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte pauses, considering
<DeathStar> <Ren> I would think any characters that would fit. like either those super old Gundams, or maybe
<DeathStar> <Ren> What else had mecha
<DeathStar> <Ren> But if we're going to pick a specific franchise, I don't know those well enough
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Me either."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You have steampunk mecha, sci fi mecha, fantasy, mecha.. see where I'm goiugn with this?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh wow. Geeze
<DeathStar> <Ren> Uh. *she looks at Charlotte* What do you think we should pick?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We'll have to pick one that people know."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well since so many of us are in military, lets pick one that's a mecha that is on Earth
<DeathStar> <Ren> So normal mecha?
<DeathStar> *Andrea bounces into the room, a little smokey*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Ow
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are you alright?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mother?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I don't think that Zayne likes me
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what happened?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *she sits on the counter, blowing at her shoulder.*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Oh, after annoying her a while she gave me a warning shot to leave her alone
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Noting I was untrustworthy, specially with super dark aura
<DeathStar> *she grins*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, she is certainly one to talk."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I know. She follows me around because I don't like her, and then she does that..."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well I think CHIP locked her room down
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Good."
<DeathStar> *crosses her legs - surely she did not do that just to screw with the Makai*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I feel like she was subtly insulting me. Constantly."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well, if you can make friends with that one
<DeathStar> <Andrea> She is a powerful ally - but
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *she looks serious* She can never be redeemed
<DeathStar> <Andrea> She will always do what she thinks is "justice". *Sabrina shudders*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Just what we need..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's pretty much what I expected..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances at Sabrina* A"nd will your fellow Maka do somethign about her then?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And of course, Kaelan has no problem with letting someone like that on the ship."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "To be fair, at least she is now being watched instead of acting freely."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> If they learn about it, probably
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> It is our job
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> She is just an odd ball compared to most Makai.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Killing bad people instead of making monsters
<DeathStar> *Andrea gives Noire a kiss on the cheek, a tentacle pat to Charlotte's head* I'm off
<DeathStar> *Andrea steals some food and drink and moves to shadow port*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Be careful, mother."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'll keep working on the mecha idea
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I will. *she smiles as she steps out*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes..."
<Alicia> * Charlotte feels about the same
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, what popular mechas that take place not on Earth can we pick I wonder. *She jots ideas*
<DeathStar> <ren> Or at least non-space
<Alicia> * A new figure, at least to most, looks in uncertainly, walking in like they haven't been in a bar in over 50 years, even though they're not old enough for that to be possible, surely.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *blinks* Oh, come on in
<DeathStar> *Ren turns and studies* Hm?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Uhh.. hello. This is still so weird. Anyway, I'm... Ceilidh Hughes."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Celidh. Come on in
<DeathStar> *she moves her to a seat*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh, I heard about her
<DeathStar> <Ren> She was from Warren's day. Old Man Warren
<Alicia> * Ceilidh steps in. "You know, that bit isn't weird. Even when he was young, he was old."
<DeathStar> *Ren jerks at being heard and poofs into a fox, landing on Charlotte's head*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "OH MY GOD, A KITSUNE. A REAL LIFE KITSUNE."
<DeathStar> *the fox jerks and falls down - Charlotte's cleavage*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what just happened?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte blushes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes, that is Ren, Cheryl's granddaughter. And a kitsune
<DeathStar> *she brings the menu, wondering if Ceilidh will recognize MAdame T*
<DeathStar> *Ren peeks her head out of the clothing, staring at Noire, startled at the reaction*
<DeathStar> *before climbing out and getting on the counter*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I've never seen one before! ...but then, they weren't around when I was still..." *she trails off again* "... I wish I'd at least gotten to finish college."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmm-hmmm..."
<DeathStar> *Katrina pats* Well, there is a college on the PAX now
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you are interested. Many of the kids on the teams are in it
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I really am." *pauses, looking over Katrina and T* "Do I know you two?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Katrina McCormick
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That is... *She looks at T to see if she wants her name out*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Terra Kershaw."
<DeathStar> *Ren stretches and sits*
<DeathStar> *fluffy, three tails curling*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So... what's going on? The world moved on without me, but... I think I can finally live in the same time as everyone again."
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks between Noire and Ren, trying to work out if they think the wording was weird too.
<DeathStar> *Ren glances up at Charlotte, then Noire, yipping*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. *she sets some food down* Right now the kids are planning a party
<Alicia> * Ceilidh, noticing this, looks between everyone. "What sort? I've not really the party sort, but... I want to get to know people again."
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs into her human form* cosplay!
<DeathStar> <Ren> We're just deciding on a theme
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmm-hmmmm..."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Yes." *her eyes sparkle at the mere mention*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You are interested?
<Alicia> * Ceilidh nods. "I hope I'm not acting too weird. I... got nicknamed Spooky at college."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Spooky...?
<DeathStar> <Ren> *whispers* Is she a ghost? Or does she investigate Kitsune?!
<DeathStar> *she hides behind the two*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Clearly a delinquent."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh, it's not just kitsune. I'm trying to catalogue alien DNA."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...rude. She's not an alien."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I-I really am not
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...sorry. I meant... non-humans... if... that's acceptable?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You could cause an interstellar incident."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... but..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Noire has a point. Stop."
<DeathStar> *Vyssa, about to enter the bar, hears Ceidih and alien DNA, leaves*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'm the student council president, and I ahve to ensure tht the student body, human or not, remain unharassed."
<DeathStar> *only to appear who knows when*
<DeathStar> <Ren> True. If you re-enter college, Noire here is will be your student president
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *sighs at the harassment line* "I... don't intend to harass anyone. I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> <Ren> It's okay
<DeathStar> <Ren> Maybe you can ask and some will give it to you
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Also Jennifer might have some on file
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's just a blood donation, after all."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And Cuddles
<DeathStar> <Katrina> They are the PAX doctors
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I never asked your names."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Have you conidered that the other civilizations are already more than advanced enough to have mapped their own respective genomes?"
<Alicia> * Ceilidh makes a noise as if to say that no, she didn't, and she feels terrible for not having realised something so obvious.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So... I should just ask for the data? That's... probably safer for the Tsivirish..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I am Ren Mizukaze, grandaughter of the legendary Dragoon Alpha Cheryl, and daughter of Taiga
<DeathStar> *Taiga waves, another kitsune nearby*
<DeathStar> *adorable*
<DeathStar> *she appears to be the same age as Ren*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm Charlotte, pleased to meet you."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I am Sabrina Evangelia
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Noire. Arakawa Noire.""
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Could you be... Cassandra's daughter?" * Charlotte collapses from shock.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Granddaughter."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh... I forgot how much I missed..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Cassandra has become a legendary figure
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And her playboy issue still sells for millions
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *looks over at Charlotte, who seems to be recovering, slowly* "... I'm not really surprised."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'm sure my grandmother would be thrilled to hear that."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How is she doing, anyway?"
<DeathStar> *A shadowport opens and the playboy in issue lands on the counter*
<DeathStar> *wrapped up in one of those wrappings to protect it*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...what just happened?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *snorts*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "She sniped some renegade Dark Ones with a rail gun a few days ago."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lets out a breath* "...do you know how embarassing this is for me?" *picks up the issue between two fingers*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So... what is a Dark One anyway? I'd like to... find out, anyway."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I was going to say meet one, but... I don't think I want to that way."
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks nervously between Ren and Noire.
<DeathStar> <Ren> There is a safe one you can meet
<DeathStar> <Ren> Just chant Andrea 3 times
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think she has safe words, like playboy and Cassandra. *motions at how the issue fell from a shadowport*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "This sounds like one of those urban legends, but I'll bite." *does so*
<DeathStar> *suddenly, a shadowport opens nad andrea lands on her lap*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...safewords?!"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Why, hello there. *she peers up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... what."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Now why did you all bring me back here again?
<DeathStar> *she adjusts her short skit*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *holds the issues out to her mother* "You dropped something."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Oh right. *she takes it* I have it set up to fall on people who mention mom's name. And come back to me after a few minutes
<DeathStar> *she takes it and puts it in a shadow pocket
<DeathStar> *her name and playboy
<DeathStar> *Andrea wiggles her butt on Ceilidh's lap and studies her* So really, why am I here?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "She wanted to meet a Dark One... even though she had one sitting on front of her"
<Alicia> * Ceilidh stares blankly for several seconds, then speaks in an oddly even voice, as if possessed. "would you be so kind as to offer me some of your blood?" She pauses a few seconds after, blinking. "...ah, sorry, I mean..."
<DeathStar> *Andrea laughs* You mean she didn't realize you were one?
<DeathStar> *studies Ceilidh* And what do you plan to do with my blood? Make a Dark One army? Use it on yourself (that won't work, you need something more than that)
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *seemingly back to normal* "...well, mostly look at it. I'm really into genetics?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte has been edging away slightly for some time
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Not at all."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *studies Charlott, then Ceilidh*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "also stop asking for blood, or you'll be devoured."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'll try.. I get kind of weird when scared though."
<DeathStar> *Andrea grabs the sides of Ceilidh's head, searching for something*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What are you doing?"
<DeathStar> *perhaps using her dark powers to make sure there's nothing in her that might make her do anything "evil" with the blood - and if she is cleared, holds up her finger* Have fun
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother, really. You shouldn't indulge her."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It can be amusing sometimes. To throw a pebble into a lake and see what ripples
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Anyway, lets get you home this time, Noire
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You have school tomorrow.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... that sounds like mad science." *gives the finger a pinprick*
<DeathStar> *Andrea pretends it hurts and gives Cel a look, with teary eyes*
<DeathStar> *Before moving to Noire and putting a hand on her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Very well, mother."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Later, Noire
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm sorry..." *seems to have been fooled*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You can make it up to me later. *she tells Ceilidh, beaming*
<DeathStar> *Before warping out with Noire*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You know she was teasing you with the finger poke
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...it's better to play along, even so."
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> *Ren nuzzles Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *yawning all foxy*
<DeathStar> *Taiga stretches and yawns like Ren*
<Alicia> * Charlotte cuddles Ren
<DeathStar> *the two clearly related*
<DeathStar> *Ren smiles happily and cuddles back*
Session Time: Mon Apr 27 00:00:00 2020
<DeathStar> *Katrina chats with Ceilidh*
<DeathStar> *talking to her about various things and showing her the college programs*
<DeathStar> *Ren lays about in fox form, letting people pet her*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...why do I feel like I said something unforgivable?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know? I mean, I get the being curious about other races. If you want to know more, I'd go to terminals or medical
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Files should be there you can study
<Alicia> * Ceilidh nods. "I think I just went too far again. I can do that when I'm passionate about things."
<DeathStar> *Ren shows her belly, dreaming about something, her leg twitching*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That is fair enough.
<DeathStar> *she offers her a coupon for free meals here*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh takes it. "I'm surprised how human Dark Ones look. I couldn't tell the difference."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> They have "true" forms that are more in line. *she brings up Dark One pictures - that are dark monsterous beings*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This is just Andrea's lot
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...oh. That's kind of cool, though."
<DeathStar> *Ren wiggles along the counter, showing belly in her dreams*
<Alicia> * Charlotte admires the fox
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess so
<Alicia> * Charlotte also pets the fox
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I see you and Ren have gotten close. *Ren curls around Charlotte's hand*
<DeathStar> *looking happy*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yes. I.. like her. I don't know how Noire feels about me, but... it matters a lot less now."
<DeathStar> *Taiga smiles softly, looking a little forlorn like Ren can* It is good to have someone you can be with like that
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is something wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Just thinking to better times. Anyway, I am rooting for you two.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Better times... are a good thing to think about."
<DeathStar> *Taiga peers down, her ears a little downcast* If you need anything, let me know
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I don't think there's anything I can ask for right now."
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and ruffles her hair*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... I hope I can get more polite, even if I do seem creepy to people at times. I don't think that bit's going to change."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> As you get more used to nuances of things I think you can do it
<DeathStar> *Ren soon is on Charlotte's lap*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I made a really bad first impression, though, I can tell that much. I guess I'm... still not used to the idea of... whatever the proper term for 'aliens' would be, living on Earth now."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Let's call them neighbors? Hm. So many live under the Suisen Empire umbrella after all
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs into her human form on Charlotte's lap, stretching* That was a nice nap. Whenever I go into fox form I get so sleepy
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I like that, even if 'neighbour DNA' sounds weird."
<DeathStar> *Kat laughs*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh pauses, checking something on her datapad.
<DeathStar> *Kat hhms*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How come there's both you and an Erevis... wait, multiple Erevises? on the PAX?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You likely heard how Erevis killed me and replaced me during your tenure.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I came back a few years later when Wind split us
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I thought she was gone when... oh."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> as for this other Erevis, I still have little information on her
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I understand so little about progenitors. Somehow, I know more about Dark Ones from just today than I learnt about Progenitors at all."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well Erevis is your person to ask; she is on the PAX right now, despite this being her ship once, she left it
<DeathStar> <Katrnina> And is on Geyze most of the time
<DeathStar> *Ren shifts on Charlotte's lap to face her* Want to do something fun? *Taiga smiles sofrly*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *tries to think of something she hasn't shown her* Been to Geyze?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *blushing* "Do you want to go?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sure! Just let me know when you're ready
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Whenever you are."
<DeathStar> *Ren grabs her hand and moves off to go on wil adventures*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Kids. *props her head and watches them go*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What's Geyze like, anyway?" *isn't sure if she was included in the 'kids', but doesn't ask*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A world of magik, monsters - medievalish?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Spirits, summons
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... maybe I should give up trying to catalogue all the DNA."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *shows a picture of some of the spirits*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's still in my area of interest though! I love ghosts and things like that, and even though I know spirits aren't ghosts, they seem close enough? If they're not, I should learn how they're not."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Good question, I don't know enough about them to tell you

<DeathStar> *Katrina hugs Terra*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sample this! *she gives her a muffin*
<Alicia> * Terra takes a bite.
<DeathStar> *it is muffiny goodness*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> By the way. If you want you can run this place more if you want. You are overly qualified.
<Seraphna> **Terra is set down on the counter... the other Terra! Jaime smiles and waves as she takes a seat, with her little Earth Spirit daughter**
<Alicia> <Terra> "Thanks. I'm just glad to be here."
<DeathStar> *Something leaps onto Terra's head*
<Alicia> * Terra would look at the something, but has trouble at that angle
<DeathStar> *one of the foxes is curled up on her head, looking comfy and kneading*
<Alicia> <Terra> "That's so cute." *tries to identify which fox*
<DeathStar> *it looks like maybe Taiga, oddly - maybe having come in here and being liked her red hair.*
<DeathStar> *minus being
<Alicia> <Terra> "I heard that, in japanese culture, having foxes around is a blessing from Inari."
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** We should ask Inari sometime.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I forgot you can do that."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So you feel blessed?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yes, even if just that the place feels so much more alive with them around."
<DeathStar> *Ren rides around on Charlotte's head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Terra, this is Terra!
<Seraphna> Terra> Me?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're named after her
<Alicia> <Terra> "Wow, I'm honoured... I really am blessed."
<DeathStar> <Woman> *whispers* Is it a new fad? should we find foxes to put on our heads?
<DeathStar> *she eyes Terra and Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Terra> "No, they just like it here."
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** I was going for Earth Goddess and it was just the perfect name.
<Seraphna> Terra> Big Me.
<Alicia> * Terra seems a bit embarrassed at the praise, however indirect.
<Alicia> <Terra> "She's cute."
<DeathStar> *Katrina gives Terra another food to taste -a pie*
<Seraphna> **Terra wiggles**
<Alicia> * Terra takes a taste
<DeathStar> *it is a strange tasting pie but it tastes fruity and good*
<Alicia> <Terra> "What fruit is this?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Some geyzian fruit. I thought maybe it would taste good.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's safe, don't worry.
<Alicia> <Terra> "It does taste good, I just didn't recognise it."
<Alicia> <Terra> "We should serve this."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I will add it to the list
<DeathStar> *she gives a bite to lil' Terra*
<DeathStar> *Taiga stretches out on Terra's head, her tails tickling her face*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *pokes Jaime*
<DeathStar> *Thomas adjusts his glasses, reading a report by Celeste*
<Seraphna> **Terra noms**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, yes Momma Kat?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Should I have Terra wear a cute waitress outfit?
Session Time: Fri May 01 00:00:00 2020
<Seraphna> Jaime> Which one?
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> Should we have her try on some?
<DeathStar> *she peers at Terra*
<Alicia> <Terra> "...ha?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *smiles*
<DeathStar> *the fox shifts on Terra - surely this cute fox couldn't be disturbed for outfit changes, right?*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Well, we can't right now, the fox is comfy."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Aw. But I had designs like this. *She shows cute outfits that shows a lot of leg, other cute outfits that look super adorable but are reasonable, and more*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Well, maybe later then."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Fair enough
<DeathStar> *Taiga shifts and her tail drops a note onto Terra's hand*
<Alicia> * Terra reads the note
<DeathStar> *it's an offer to hang out and do things with the fox hat later if she wants - it seems Cheryl's daughter must like her*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Now I really feel blessed."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh?
<Alicia> <Terra> "The kitsune like me."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *smiles* That is good. You can take your break whenever you want then and play with her
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks between Kat and Terra curiously**
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Something up?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Huh uhhh... nope! All good! **she blushes**
<DeathStar> *Katrina shrugs at Terra while Taiga hugs onto the head*
<DeathStar> *tails wagging*
<DeathStar> *Ren mimicing it to Charlotte*
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts shipping Kat and Older Terra**
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh no, this doesn't feel like nothing..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I Agree
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She has that look
<DeathStar> *Taiga flops onto Terra's lap and snuggles*
<Seraphna> **Jaime puffs her cheeks** You two make a cute match.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Huh?
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks between Kat and Terra**
<Seraphna> Terra> Mew Momma and Me Momma?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes sweetie.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *tilts head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You are Mew Momma because Cats go Mew.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And Athena took Cat Momma.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I'm kitty now? *she looks amused*
<Alicia> <Terra> I thought so... you're shipping us.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. We should be wary her shipping powers
<Alicia> <Terra> "Why's that?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Rumor has it she has mysterious powers. *she jokes* *Taiga shifts and paws for fod*
<DeathStar> *food
<Alicia> * Terra feeds the cute fox while listening. "I wouldn't be surprised with Erevis' daughter."
<DeathStar> *Taiga noms* <Katrina> Well we old guard will have to use our old tricks to keep up when the time comes
<Seraphna> **Jaime pouts** I also have Momma Kat powers.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> IF you do, order these pies
<Alicia> <Terra> "They're good pies, but what does that have to do with Jaime's powers?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The power of good taste and spending money on my business
<Alicia> <Terra> "Good point."
<DeathStar> *stares at Jaime with Terra*
<DeathStar> *Warren enters the scene and sits at the bar counter* ..... *Grunt*
<DeathStar> *Katrina moves and slides an apple pie over and a drink* <Warren> ... *nod*
<Seraphna> **Jaime orders a whole pie**
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You have great power!
<DeathStar> *she squeezes Terra's but as a reward*
<Alicia> <Terra> "You should train it further."
<Seraphna> **Jaime snickers, feeding pie to her daughter, who gets fruit all over**
<DeathStar> *Katrina laughs*
<Seraphna> **Terra wiggles** Terra Fru!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *pats*
* Jackieness has joined #taw-mini
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<DeathStar> *Katrina has left Terra in charge*
<DeathStar> *taiga is sitting on the counter in fox form, pawing at Terra*
<DeathStar> *Ren slaps down a costume*
<DeathStar> <Ren> This will do
<Alicia> * Charlotte is keeping her ideas under wraps for now, but pays attention to Ren's costume
<DeathStar> *Before she can speak, Adeline sits down* I think I will go as this ancient anime person. *she shows Tessa Testarossa* Unless someone wnats to fight me
<DeathStar> *Adeline grins evilly*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps into Katrina's place*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... you would..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh? Did you want to be Tessa? I suppose we could dye your hair
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Or we could both be her.
<DeathStar> *Ren glances back and forth*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, hmm. I don't need to, it was just my top choice."
<DeathStar> *Adeline ahhh* Well, how about this. *She holds up her hand* Rock, paper, scissors
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are you sure?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I didn't even think about the hair colour thing."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves over and takes a seat*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well I don't mind playing with you. It can be fun
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hello. Noire
<DeathStar> *Noire would find Terra serving stuff today*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hey Noire, what's up?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga turns to Noire and yips*
<DeathStar> *Adeline holds up her hands* Okay, lets do it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'm out and about. It is actually easier for me to move about than it is for Reikana."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh? Something up?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't mind giving up my 'position', but if we're going to play it, I'm going to play seriously anyway."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I expect no less
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *looks to Noire* "And we're always happy to have you around. Either of you." *she then looks to Adeline again* "Alright, lets do it." *and with that, she concentrates hard, way harder than one would expect for Rock, Paper, Scissors*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Reikana is an idol now. I'm her less famous 'sister'."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But you're closer than that, right?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "In a manner of speaking. We are the daughter of Janus."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...who?"
<DeathStar> *Ren tilts her head a little* Eh? You changed your identity?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Janus was a Roman god depicted with two faces."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I understand
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, so not the literal daughter."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I was being theatrical."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I guess I can relate. I too can be two-faced."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ohhhh... have you more secrets to tell?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That... is a secret."
<DeathStar> *they tie*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Cheeky."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Aren't I just?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Just."
<DeathStar> *Taiga pads over and paws on cheeks*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, it is good to have secrets
<DeathStar> *she grins*
<DeathStar> *whispers something to Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Exactly, I can't just tell everything. Especially not here."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Round 2?
<DeathStar> <Ren> *orders nachos, musing on changing her oufit now*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sounds good!"
<DeathStar> *Adeline even raises her fist*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So I take it that you have decided on the specific theme then?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Any mecha anime that is not space based
<DeathStar> <Ren> If you can think of a way to limit it more let me know
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Not space based?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah, any that take place on the ground.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That rules out any macross, which is a shame."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Didn't that Plus one not take place in space?
<DeathStar> *Ren digs through ancient archives*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Might've."
<DeathStar> *the shadows around the group darkens*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...hmmmm..."
<DeathStar> *they rise up behind Noire* <Heaven> *Rises up and pats Noire on the back* How are you?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, hi Heaven. I don't usually see you away from Thena."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well. We are discussing our iminent cosplay party."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I may have to invest in hairdye after all. It's so hard to find a suitably smart redheaded character."
<DeathStar> *Adeline leans back*
<DeathStar> <Heaven> That sounds fun; I'll let Thena know
<DeathStar> *Heaven sits down and orders a fancy drink from Thena*
<DeathStar> <Heaven> I wonder if there's a pirate she can do
<DeathStar> *Adeline holds out rock*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Best of three?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Alright."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We have a mecha theme."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Ah, no pirate mechas?
<DeathStar> *Adeline prepares again*
<Alicia> * Charlotte likewise prepares
<DeathStar> *Adeline throws out her hand in the paper gesture*
<Alicia> * Charlotte throws out scissors, the second time in a row.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Not bad. LEts up this up then
<Alicia> <Terra> "What an intense game of Rock Paper Scissors." *shrugs*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "They agreed on rules to forbade space-based settings."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Makes it hard for me to find a good strategist sort without dying my hair."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Should I allow space?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hmmm
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Or I could just use dye."
<DeathStar> *Adeline throws out scissors*
<Alicia> * Charlotte takes deep breaths, before throwing out rock
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Good job.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Pin your hair and go with a wig then."
<Alicia> * It almost seems as if the game itself was a major exertion.
<DeathStar> *Adeline turns back to the bar, stretching*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess so. *she blinks and pats Charlotte* You won Tessa
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I wonder if that means double Tessas or not."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Up to. Noire,. want to be Tessa, too?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We can't all be Tessa!"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh?
<DeathStar> *she smiles*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Two's fine, but..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *giggles*
<DeathStar> <Heaven> This going to be some duo party thing, two people come in as the same thing?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I don't even know who that is."
<DeathStar> *the holovid plays news about the upcoming Reikana concert, with a brief clip about Zero*
<DeathStar> *Alouette peers in and huffs*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I really hope these don't clash... I don't want you to miss out."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I plan to make that Zero renounce their name! They're not even blonde!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why does that matter?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Zero is blonde! And uses a saber! And a hero!
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... <Adeline> .... <Heaven> ...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Zero is totally a villain name."
<DeathStar> *Alouette gasps*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> H-How dare you. *The little girl walks over, holding her stuffie* Z-Zero was amazing!
<DeathStar> *she lightly whaps on Noire's side, but she wouldn't feel anything*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmm-hmmm.."
<Seraphna> **Angela walks up, long blonde hair back in a pony tail** I thought I heard Allouette in here.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She's not that great an idol. I mean, have you heard her?"
<DeathStar> *Alouette tackles Angela, eyeing her with hero worship - clearly seeing Zero in Angela*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I mean, just that once so far.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Angela... wanted in the Erus Ascendancy as an alleged drug lord."
<DeathStar> *Adeline smirks* I am sure she will pop up more and get more deals as time goes on.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What great heroes we have here."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait, Angela is a drug lord?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right now it's only allegations, but I heard she was found in the Erusian area with Omega Coke."
<Alicia> * Terra just sighs
<Seraphna> **Angela scowls** Not wanted, I was already forced to watch Theron's terrible home movie. And it was a joke can.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh yeah, I heard rumors about something with Omega in it
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm not sure I should bring it up yet (in mini). *she muses*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Regardless..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> But for a snack I guess I could tell
<DeathStar> *Fox Taiga makes noises for food at Terra*
<Alicia> * Terra feeds the fox, while Charlotte considers. "Deal."
<DeathStar> *Ren shows images of the brand new Omega Corporation, with a new line of Omega Products*
<DeathStar> *along with classic Omega Products*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I saw this trending on the Net lately
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "'Brand new' Omega Corporation. I'm sure they're just the same as before."
<Seraphna> **Angela tilts her head** Huh. I feel used.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Why is that?
<Seraphna> Angela> The Omega thing was my bit... though I suppose it's gotten a little spread, what with Anne, Ben and my kids around now.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You're behind all this?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> You run a corporation
<DeathStar> *Gasps*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... what's wrong with that?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> It's neat!
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Make a line of the real Zero dolls
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... oh. Okay then."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Make Heaven drinks
<DeathStar> *She calls out*
<Seraphna> Angela> I don't run Omega Corp.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wonder who took it over
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Oh.
<Seraphna> Angela> But I do run a Steak House Chain.
<Alicia> <Terra> "What do you want then?"
<Seraphna> Angela> It's called Angie's.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I guess that's... alright
<DeathStar> *Heaven puts in another order of a fancier drink and leaves a tip*
<Seraphna> **Angela tickles Alouette** If you want we could start up a company for Zero stuff though.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If only there was some cool corporate princess around, right?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> *squirms* There's a corporate princess around?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Maybe?"
<Seraphna> **Thena appears in Heaven's lap** Did someone say Princess?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I'll go see if I can find them
<DeathStar> *She hops off*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I should've just said Billy instead."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Hello there, Thena. Charlotte was just talking about her bestest Nemesis
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'd point out that 'Billy' is my mother. MOTHER."
<Seraphna> Thena> But I am her best nemesis!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is there something wrong with summoning her?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "She's busy doing... something..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh. Well, I won't interrupt then."
<DeathStar> <Ren> OH yeah, I heard she's getting ready to go on a journey
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *she looks over to Noire, about to ask something* <So, are you...?>
<DeathStar> *Heaven orders Thena a lollipop*
<DeathStar> *Adeline reads a book and sips coffee*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Never mind, I guess that's rude."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmmm?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You do consider yourself the same person, right?"
Session Time: Sat May 02 00:00:00 2020
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's quite alright if you don't want to answer, I won't get mad or anything."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That is complicated."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I think I understand. I'm not... completely sure though."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I can barely understand myself sometimes."
<Seraphna> **Thena noms it and leans into Heaven**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> <Like a different part of you?>
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... that's a way to put it."
<DeathStar> *Adeline turns the page*
<DeathStar> *Taiga snoozes*
<DeathStar> *sprawled out on the counter*
<DeathStar> *refusing to move for Angela to sit*
<Seraphna> **Angela picks her up**
<DeathStar> *Taiga is defeated*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> <I think I understand... wait, I'm not actually speaking this?>
<DeathStar> <Adeline> <No>
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Mmm..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *to Adeline* <Thanks>
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *to Noire* <Most of why I was asking is... do I need to get to know Reikana too?>
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes a seat by Adeline and orders some fries**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Night and day."
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods to Jaime*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> <Guess I'll actually spend the time to next chance I have. Unless she's already decided she doesn't like me.>
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I wouldn't mind being friends with both of you."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I prefer the 'sister' metaphor, honestly."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Tilts her head at them both*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *looks to Ren* "I've never spoken to Reikana. Only Noire."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh wow, I didn't know that
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So I literally know nothing about her other than being an idol, keeping to herself most of the time, and being Noire's sister."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Sister in quotes."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yes, I know, but if you feel that way, then it's good enough for me."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> *pops back up* Clearly they were twins at birth
<DeathStar> <Alouette> And one twin ate the other
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why would you think that?"
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Isn't that how twins work?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...no?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Oh
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *to Noire* <Anyway, this is that secret you were asking about. I can do this.>
<DeathStar> <Alouette> *bounces ideas off Angela*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Several people here can do so."
<Alicia> * Charlotte leans back, before giving Ren a hug. <So, did you know I could do this?>
<DeathStar> *Ren snuggles into the hug*
<DeathStar> <Ren> mmmm?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This is still new to me."
<DeathStar> <Ren> What is?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well..." <This.>
<DeathStar> *Ren tilts head, then right* Oh. Ohhh. OHhhh!
<DeathStar> <Ren> No lips move
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right. It feels like only yesterday I was completely normal. Well, 'normal'."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *nods* What is normal. *her tails swish*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm not going to pretend I wasn't awkward from the beginning."
<DeathStar> *Ren cheek rubs*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, we're all in this together?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmm... I'll think on a cosplay..." *stands and heads out*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Good luck
<DeathStar> *Ren nods, her tails rubbing Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *Adeline offers a snack*
<Alicia> * Charlotte holds Ren close, but not so close the snack offer is invalidated.
<DeathStar> *Ren goes snuggles and noms on snack*

<DeathStar> *Taiga sleeps on Terra's head*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps into KAt's place*
<DeathStar> *Ren lands on Noire's head - Spider-Ren*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what?"
<DeathStar> *Ren sits there in her kit form*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *adjusts her glasses and moves to take a seat at the bar*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Noire.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Hope you're doing fine."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh, just peachy."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Glad to hear it."
<DeathStar> *Sabrina hurries in* Oh, Miss President
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> How are you?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I see that you are finally relaxing around me."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> W-Well you haven't tried to kill me yet, or have the school surround me for combat
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Do you wish me to play up those cliches?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> N-No!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Very well then. I won't try to challenge you."
<DeathStar> *Sabrina lets out a breath of relief*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Do student presidents usually do that? I thought they spent all day in a boring room
<Alicia> <Terra> "I have no idea."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "In the real world, yes. The anime and manga, we have armies of students to throw at the heroine."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> They are quite fearsome
<Jackieness> The anime and manga => The anime and manga WORLD
<DeathStar> *Katrina peers at Terra*
<Alicia> * Terra looks back. "Kids these days? Well, I say that, but I remember how I used to be."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Where is 'Gumi nowadays anyway? Still holed up, sciencing?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She has a lab somewhere on the floor with that kind of stuff. Probably near Medical. Maybe if you laid out this food. *she lists it* She might appear
<Alicia> <Terra> "I might do that. Even if she's too busy, she's got to eat."
<DeathStar> *Katrina nods and tells her what to make and to put a bell at the end of the counter*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you want to see her, lift that cage up and you might catch her when she comes in to snatch it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It sounds more like you are setting a trap."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Would I do that to my dear sister?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh, yes. I can hear it."
<Alicia> * Terra does her best to look angelic. It might actually work on people who don't know what she used to be like.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "A Dark One can see right through you."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Nyoro~n."
<DeathStar> *Katrina puts the food down and bell for Terra*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm-hmmm."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ring it whenever you want
<DeathStar> *Ren hops off and transforms*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm bored. We should do something
<Jackieness> <Noire> "such as?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I don't know. What do kids do for fun?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You tell me. I'm actually a young adult now."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Cards?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Don't ask me, I was a mess at your age."
<DeathStar> *Katrina puts the food under the cage*
<Alicia> * Terra gets ready to ring the bell. If Kat's going this far, may as well!
<DeathStar> *Katrina thumbs up*
<DeathStar> *Taiga kneads Terra's head*
<DeathStar> *who needs cats when you have foxes*
<Alicia> * Terra rings the bell, hoping, but not expecting
<DeathStar> *a first nothing, then somthing moves to retrieve the food quickly*
<DeathStar> *the food is snatched off the counter*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *summons tentacles to capture the foor snatcher*
<Alicia> *isn't the cage supposed to drop on it's own? although, that also works*
<DeathStar> *Megumi is snatched and eyes them, eyes closed*
<DeathStar> <Megumi> ...
<DeathStar> <Ren> Huh. So she is still around
<Alicia> <Terra> "Hi sis!"
<Alicia> * Ceilidh wanders in, wearing a bunny-ear headband apparently?
<DeathStar> *Megumi turns to eye Terra* ... Oh. Hello, Terra. *she nods and opens her eyes* When did you get back?
<DeathStar> *she chews on food*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... what? *she eyes Ceilidh*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Bunny. *her tail swishes*
<Alicia> <Terra> "..." *sighs a little, giving the date*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh. I still have that DNA installed..."
<DeathStar> *Megumi nods* Welcome back. How have you been? *Megumi these days no longer looks like an elf, but a pink cat: http://thealienwars.com/TAW6/DaCapo/Megumi.png
<DeathStar> <Megumi> *She offers some food*
<DeathStar> <Ren> DNA installed? <Taiga> You installed Gitari DNA? Have you felt like bumping things?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Pretty good. I missed you though."
<DeathStar> *Megumi nods and pats her head* We should catch up.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *blushing* "Not... especially...? Having super-hearing is really great though."
<DeathStar> *Taiga's ear twitches* It is
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes... Gitari have a reputation for beign amorous."
<Alicia> <Terra> "We really should."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Foxes can hear just as a good and we're cuter
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I...is that so...?"
<DeathStar> *Ren and Taiga pose together*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Also foxes eat rabbits."
<Alicia> * Ceilidh blushes even more at that
<DeathStar> *the two eye Ceilidh, licking lips*
<DeathStar> <Megumi> *Writes something down*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Awawawawa."
<DeathStar> *and hands it down to Terra while Ren and Terra playfully tackle Ceilidh*
<DeathStar> *tickling her*
<Alicia> * Terra reads the note while Ceilidh squirms
<DeathStar> *it's her datapad number to talk to her*
<Alicia> * Terra writes down her own, and hands it back to Megumi.
<DeathStar> *Megumi nods, pocketing it*
<DeathStar> *then shifts in the tentacles, sitting on them to eat*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmm..."
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Are you running the bar now?
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Ren finally finish eating Ceilidh
<DeathStar> *and get in their seats*
<Alicia> <Terra> "It's still Katrina's, but I'm handling things when she's away, or busy, or just wants a break."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I could call it K&T's Bar *she notes*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Maybe I should remember not to leave DNA installed."
<DeathStar> *Taiga giggles and offers her hand to help her up*
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Neat. *she nods* I remember back in the day when you had one, too
<DeathStar> *referring to PAX3*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh presses a button and the ears disappear
<Jackieness> <Noire> "K And T still comes out as 'Kat'."
<Alicia> <Terra> "I'm fine with that though."
<DeathStar> *Katrina grins at Noire*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, would you like me renaming it?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Sounds good to me!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Speakign for Rei and myself, we just coem ehre for the sodas and food."
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> Well if you have ideas for stuff you'd like on the menu
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Let me know
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Soda ne."
<DeathStar> *Katrina hands Ceil a soda*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh pays and drinks, but did she pay for that pun?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ginger soda. I like the fizz and burn."
<DeathStar> *Katrina checks to see if they have it*
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I want udon
<DeathStar> *Katrina jots things down that are named*
<Alicia> * A fox darts in, before shapeshifting into a kitsune idol disguised in a hoodie and sunglasses. "Did someone mention udon?"
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Yes. I want udon. <Taiga> I wouldn't mind it.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sounds nice
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ahhh... a kitsune udon line of bowls."
<DeathStar> *Alouette somewhere screams*
<DeathStar> *but not near them*U
<DeathStar> *Katrina nods and moves int othe back to experiment*
<Alicia> <Totally Not Zero> "Perfect."
<DeathStar> *and smells of the food whift back there*
<Alicia> * The kitsune who is obviously not Zero in disguise eyes Noire a moment. "Have I met you before?"
<DeathStar> *Ren studies the Totally Not Zero*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Uh..
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...maybe."
<Alicia> <Kitsune> "I guess it could be my imagination."
<DeathStar> *Katrina returns and sets out udon for everyone*
<DeathStar> *Megumi munches*
<Alicia> * The totally-unfamiliar-to-everyone kitsune likewise munches
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Eats some* Not bad
<Jackieness> <Noire> *takes some chopsticks and eats from the udon bowl*
<DeathStar> *And Noire gets her soda*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sips her soda*
<DeathStar> *Ren eats, her tails playfull wiggling* So, are you a idol, Miss Kitsune?
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances up, nomming*
<Alicia> <Kitsune> "Why would you think that?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, you just have the air about you. *she nods and smiles; meanwhile Megumi is talking Terra's ears off about research stuff*
<DeathStar> *And showing her notes*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "... ... ...enough of this farce. You are obviously the opener for Reikana's last concert."
<Alicia> <Kitsune> "Is that so? Well..." *removes sunglasses* "I thought wearing eyewear was supposed to be a better disguise."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Your tails are so fluffy
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Reikana tried it all the time. No one ever was fulled."
<Jackieness> fooled
<DeathStar> *she picks one up*
<Alicia> <Zero> "The animes have lied to us all." *looks to Ren* "Are you a fan then?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Very soft! I approve
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So how was the udon?
<Alicia> * Zero waves her tails around playfully. "I loved it."
<Alicia> <Zero> "...got any more?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *to Terra*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> IF you can turn away from Megumi, lets go make some more Udon for everyone
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh, right, right." *pauses* "I'll make some more for you too, 'gumi."
<DeathStar> <Megumi> *she actually - smiles*
<DeathStar> *TErra and Megumi's harmonics rises*
<DeathStar> *Katrina goes into the back to make more*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess the Udon is a hit?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyone else got foods they want to recomment that we can make Katrina make?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I shall think on it."
<DeathStar> *soon more udon is brought out*
<Alicia> <Zero> "You have a very dignified air to you, miss...?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wish I could sing.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I mainly do guitar and stuff. I can sing alright
<DeathStar> <Ren> But I'm better for back up stuff
<Alicia> <Zero> "Singing has to come from the heart. I think all music does."
<DeathStar> *Ren usually doing guitar and backing up Reikana in the band*
<DeathStar> *and when she did sing was a back up singer*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Me? I am Noire."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Zero. Or maybe you already remember that."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I do. And Ren here played second guitar in Reikana's original band."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Glad to hear I've made some impact... though I wish that concert hadn't been... interrupted."
<DeathStar> <Ren> The band is a bit on hold due to life.
<DeathStar> *she notes to Zero*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Though I know members of it are still helping Reikana out
<Alicia> <Zero> "I guess a duet would work too."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Anyway... I am... Reikana's sister."
<Alicia> <Zero> "That explains why I thought I recognised you."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *just gives an enigmatic half-smile*
<Alicia> <Zero> "So how is she doing?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga poofs into fox form and gets on Terra's head*
<DeathStar> *Megumi chats with Terra about the old days and blinks at the fox hat*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Still upset about the concert. She had this entire thing choreographed."
<Alicia> <Zero> "I'm not exactly happy about it either."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Well, next time, right?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes... well..."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Well...?"
<DeathStar> *A Reikana advertisement appears on the holovid*
<DeathStar> *along with an ad*
<Alicia> <Zero> "... did you know that was going to happen?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Hmmm?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmm?"
<Alicia> <Zero> "The advert."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I don't control the holovid."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Convenient timing, anyway."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I do!
<DeathStar> *Ren nods*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Okay, I really don't
<Jackieness> <Noire> "A happy coincidence."
<Alicia> <Zero> "So what were you going to say?"
<Alicia> <Zero> "It wasn't about the upcoming concert, was it?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "No. Its already left my thoughts."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Oh."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Oh. Now I think, I could've sworn I saw you helping out with the cleanup."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Am I wrong?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I was there."
<Alicia> <Zero> "If it was your work, nice work."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Let's just say that I felt personally offended by the attack,:
<Alicia> <Zero> "Me too, actually... but perhaps not as much?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmmm..."
<Alicia> <Zero> "Lets just say that interrupting a concert like that... pisses me off."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes..."
<Alicia> <Zero> "I think we're going to get along fine."
<DeathStar> *Ren jams her finger*
<DeathStar> <Ren> OW@
<Alicia> <Zero> "Are you alright?" *hurries over*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, what happened?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I just stupidly jammed my finger in my datapad while working while you two were talking. *she sucks on it, having drawn blood a little*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *popping up out of nowhere* "Oh, let me deal with that!"
<DeathStar> *Ren glances up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How did you manage that?"
<Alicia> * Zero eyes Ceilidh as she moves to provide medical assistance for such a small injury
<DeathStar> <Ren> I was opening a special function on the side. *She shows how her datapad slides open on the side; the large datapade having side areas to store things, put stuff in, have compartments, etc. One of those special large models*
<DeathStar> <Ren> And when it snapped shut it almost got my damn finger
<Alicia> * Ceilidh does in fact, seem to be an excellent medic, if a strange one.
<DeathStar> *who knows if it would have taken her finger off or not*
<DeathStar> *Ren lets her treat it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Strange."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Maybe you should have someone look at it?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Thanks. *she carefully opens the side and puts a vial in it*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh, what's that?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Just something my boss wanted to check out. Some test nano stuff for the Reploids
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...for a moment, I thought it was a blood sample. Or is that effectively reploid blood anyway?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, I think I'm done here. See you around." *leaves the bar and ehads for the door*
<Alicia> <Zero> "Well, see you around. Tell your sister I told her... is the phrase 'Break a leg'? That sounds mean."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Its theater tradition... saying 'good luck' before a stage performance is considered a curse."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks out the door*
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess it might be?
<Alicia> <Zero> "I never figured myself for a hexer..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *holds her tail* I wish you good luck at the next concert
* Alicia has quit IRC (Read error: No route to host)
* Alicia has joined #taw-mini
<Alicia> <Zero> "Hey, careful with that!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *puts a bow on it*
<Alicia> <Zero> "I do hope Reikana does well, though. I want to surpass her, but I also wish her success."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey. I wish you success
<Alicia> <Zero> "Thanks."
<Alicia> <Zero> "I'd have thought you'd have hoped for hers more than mine, though."
<DeathStar> *Ren gives a mysterious smile* Kitsunes stick together!
<DeathStar> *she winks though*

<DeathStar> *Thena is drawn to the bar*
<DeathStar> *cool people are there, like HEaven*
<Seraphna> **Thena yawns, drawn by a need for tuna**
<Alicia> * Ceilidh eats a tuna melt, looking over at Thena, wondering who she is
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces in looking about**
<DeathStar> *Heaven is making a shake*
<Seraphna> **Thena watches something shake**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Umm... hello." *isn't sure if she's interrupting something*
<Seraphna> **Thena looks over and paws** Hello!
<DeathStar> *Heaven finishes an evil chocolate shake*
<Seraphna> Thena> Add a broken cherry, love.
<DeathStar> *Heaven does so*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm Ceilidh Hughes. I'm new here. I've been trying to get to know people.... broken cherry?"
<DeathStar> <Heaven> I'm Heaven
<DeathStar> *Heaven whispers in Ceilidh's ear*
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<Alicia> * Ceilidh blushes. "You're... a couple then?"
<Seraphna> **Thena smiles** I’m Thena Carmichael-Zhenmei.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Carmichael as in Warren?"
<DeathStar> *Warren walks by the entrance, eyeing her*
<Seraphna> Thena> That’s my grandpa!
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> *he passes on by*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "At least that wasn't weird. It's still weird thinking about Cassandra having a granddaughter."
<Dias`> 6A small orb passes by Warren
<DeathStar> <Heaven> If you say her daughter's name she'll appear and bother you.
<DeathStar> *she eyes the orb*
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Weird
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh right. I expected her to look older for some reason? She looks too young to have children."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Mysterious
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... I'm going to guess I have everyone's ages wrong, and both her and Thena are old enough for that sort of thing..."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Thena is really 15
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... with a dirty mind, apparently."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> You should call protective sevices on her
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh, completely fooled, starts to call up someone, before realising she's not sure what she's supposed to be reporting. A 15 year old in a bar, making dirty jokes?
<Seraphna> Thena> Wife is being naughty.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Wife? Already?"
<DeathStar> <Heaven> I'm kidding; she's a famfrit. She ages 3 years to 1
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Half famfrits age 2 to 1
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh... Zhenmei like... Megumi wasn't it?"
<DeathStar> <Heaven> She's a granddaughter of her's
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I keep running into people's granddaughters, when I don't even remember them having kids in the first place... I guess that happens when you're dead for 50 years."
<DeathStar> *Katrina props head up, yawning* Erevis nd Megumi had kids. This one is Athena's kid. Athena being Erevis and Megumi's
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Does that make her a McCormick too?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Uh?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Well, she... umm..." *suddenly gets a look like she's stepped into a minefield*
Session Time: Wed May 06 00:00:00 2020
<Alicia> * Charlotte watches from the shadows, amused
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I suppose they have my genes in a round about away. I carried some of Erevis' children when she was having trouble
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Since we're genetically close, outside her being an energy being
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...c..lose...? Does being possessed change your genes?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No, I just meant being what she is I'm not even sure how close we are anymore
<DeathStar> *Katrina muses*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess we could be looked as nearly like twins otherwise
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I don't know how space ghost energy beings work either... I really want to though!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Progenitors?
<Dias`> <Id> Externally speaking your are the same but internally you are different. 6The small orb floats in, tilting a bit
<Alicia> * Ceilidh nods to Katrina, then looks to Id. "Thank you floating robot."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Progenitors are made up of something called hyperspace. It's why they don't mix well with human flesh well
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Otherwise I don't know much
<Dias`> <Id> I am not a robot persay. This is nothing more than a housing unit or shell for my programming.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
<Dias`> <Id> Apologies are only needed for this with emotions.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Machines and programming are Kane's specialty, not mine."
<Dias`> <Id> Hmm. The only Kane that fits in that perameter is currently with Lemon. Of which some of his tech has been utilized in the creation of my shells
<Seraphna> **Thena waves at Kat** Alternate Grammy Kat! I want one of your galaxy famous tuna sandwiches!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *to Id* "...well, okay." *to Thena and Kat* "They're really good tuna sandwiches."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Is there more than one Progenitor around?"
<DeathStar> *Katrina prepares it*
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Oh yeah. Drasek is a full one. The Empress is
<DeathStar> <Heaven> A few half -ones
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Erevis is a "full" one but in a human body
<Seraphna> Thena> I’m a Dream Princess Progenitor.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Half-Progenitor?! How does that work? Does... what..."
<Dias`> <Id> It'd be no different than half human or half Weapon. Or half insert race
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Well, if Erevis and you had sex
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Your kid would be half-progenitor
<Seraphna> **Jaime steps in with comical timing, looking like a young Erevis, though her hair is a bit darker with a red undertone that shows when it moves**
<Dias`> <Id> Roughly. It would depend on dominant genes and luck at times. But for someone who is interested in different species blood and I presume their DNA sequences, you should understand how races can mix.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Jaime. *feeds Thena*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Can I have..." *pauses* "No, that's... not something I should ask."
<Dias`> <Id> If you would like access to the Holonet's worth of genetic data I can access them all and send them to your datapad in an easy to follow power point.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "You'd do that for me?"
<Dias`> 6Id blinks several times. 1"It is done. I also believe based on what data I've collected on you it would make you appear less "creepy".
<Dias`> <Id> If you need live samples for personal reasons. That I cannot do. I cannot replicate genetic material
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I've never understood why people find blood so creepy."
<Dias`> <Id> Because of the fact that cloning is a prominent issue. Alongside shapeshifters. There is a realistic fear of misuse
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...ohhhh... clones are a big deal, yes."
<DeathStar> *Katrina looks shifty eyed*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hello~ **she seats herself**
<Dias`> <Id> Yes. Luckily or unfortunately there is a virus that eliminates them.
<Seraphna> **Thena devours tuna**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Is this why someone said I was about to cause an incident?" *looks over at Id* "...umm. That's... worrying."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Id up on the PAX? This is new. **she eyes the specials**
<Dias`> <Id> Depends on your views of cloning and their invasion of the originals rights.
<Seraphna> **A second Thena noms on some more Tuna**
<DeathStar> *Katrina blinks at the Thenas multiplying*
<DeathStar> *Heaven drinks her shake* So why are you interested in Progenitors?
<DeathStar> <Heaven> I could call Erevis over. She's on the ship
<Dias`> 6Id spins a bit to turn to Jaime. 1"This is but a small fraction. Unfortunately I have a limited ability to....6There's a pause. Experience things right now."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well we are pretty cool.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...well, I like my Kane..." *looks to Heaven* "Oh, I'm just interested in... neighbours is the polite term, right?"
<Dias`> <Id> You're Kane and yourself would not fall under the clone category since you both were rebuilt cell by cell.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh takes a deep breath. "So, does that mean the virus wouldn't attack me?"
<Seraphna> **Thena shares Tuna with herself** Not sure viruses are that picky.
<DeathStar> *Heaven does something* Anyway, hopefully that virus was destroyed
<DeathStar> <Heaven> I think it turned people into someone
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Didn't it?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I hope so too, and not just because I don't want to die. Again."
<Dias`> <Id> I doubt it fully has and that was a different version of it Heavan.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "There's more than one...?"
<Dias`> <Id> Yes.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's scary."
<Dias`> <Id> For those that are clones, yes.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm not sure I don't count."
<Dias`> <Id> I would believe the only concern you should have is for the one that turns a clone into a Venerator clone
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "THE WHAT!?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A robotic looking one
<Dias`> 6Id begins to describe, with a bit of exageration what a Venerator clone entails
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's horrible."
<Dias`> <Id> I assume it would be.
<Seraphna> **Jaime yawns** Can I get a red eye, Auntie Kat?
<DeathStar> *Katrina nods and goes to do so*
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Anyway, just becareful
<DeathStar> <Heaven> I think Adeline almost became one
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Who's Adenine? ...Adeline. I have DNA on the brain."
<Dias`> <Id> Accessing data.....Yes. You are correct
<Seraphna> Jaime> Adeline is Lemon’s adopted daughter. The result of VI trying to clone Tabetha to get a Spade.
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks in*
<DeathStar> *gliding in and sits down, putting a hand on Id*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Momma~
<Dias`> 6Id shifts slightly, caught off guard by someone putting a hand on it without it noticing. There's no movement for a moment until it registers Jaime. 1"Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello.
<DeathStar> *She sits*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I heard I was spoken about
<Dias`> <Id> May I help you? 6He twists a bit, not quite moving out of her hand
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I... recently learnt that progenitor DNA is a thing that exists..."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "And that progenitors are not merely... hyperspace entities that possess human bodies."
<Seraphna> **Jaime leans against Erevis**
<DeathStar> *Erevis lets Id go*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh is trying to avoid potentially being insulting by using the phrase 'space ghost'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was rubbing you for good luck. *she tells Id, then pats Jaime, then turns to Ceilidh*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We do not do that
<Dias`> <Id> That would be foolish. I have no good luck properties
<Seraphna> Jaime> I do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Jaime, rub on Id like he is an "eight ball" and make a wish
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> *Erevis pauses, then rubs Jaime's head like she is an eight ball and shakes her*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... I was led to believe it was so. I'm sorry."
<Seraphna> **Jaime runs Id** I wish for my coffee to appear.
<Seraphna> **rubs**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is not so. I was a unique case due to a cult
<DeathStar> *Katrina sighs and sets coffee down*
<Seraphna> **Jaime gasps** Like magic.
<DeathStar> *Katrina flicks her*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "At the time, you were the only case I'd heard of."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Seraphna> **Jaime giggles**
<Dias`> <Id> I believe Katrina gave you some not because of magic
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Drasek and Ao did not have any such incidents and none of my children
<Seraphna> Jaime> And Sammael is more like a human who is full of hyperspace.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Weird case though.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Isn't that dangerous?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wind made her. It’s complicated.
<Dias`> <Id> Anything related to Hyperspace is dangerous
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We should do something about Sammael. *nod nod, half-joking*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What was the story about Sam anyway?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Even more complicated.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Let’s just say she’s the Bi product of people trying to screw with fate.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And now my sister in law.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Sounds like everything worked out fine."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah... things work out if you trust in the right thing.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh nods, revitalised
<Seraphna> **Jaime sips her coffee** I’m Jaime Duran-Zhenmei by the way. Goddess in Training.
<Dias`> 6Id shifts a bit, turning to Erevis. 1"Have you talked to Xan lately?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Erevis is on an adventure with Chad.
<DeathStar> *she brushes her long bangs back, then focus on drawing something, then shows Id a picture of Chad and Xanatos naked together; Xan's manly young body with Chad's old man body*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm Ceilidh Hughes. Doctor and Genetic Scientist in Training."
<Dias`> <Id> That I know. But it has been awhile since I have heard from either....6There's a long pause and flickering of lights on it's shell. 1"I do not understand the pictures
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *glances over at the art* "...is that part of a doujin?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mom, don’t ship anyone with Chad, especially Dad.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that not how it works?
<Dias`> <Id> Doujin...Ship. Accessing data.......The Zhenmei family is polygamous. It would fall within acceptable parameters. 6There's a short pause. Chad Winters is not the type to follow that practice.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The joke is that Chad Winter's functions likely no longer work
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *long pause* Badum... dish?
<DeathStar> *Katrina runs her hands over her face, letting out an aging sigh*
<Dias`> <Id> .....6There's some blinking. 1"DNA signatures do not match Prime Data. Data denied.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...wha?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Gotta put two people who are cute together. Like you and Kyo, Momma.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think I broke Id. Should I smash this model
<Seraphna> Jaime> Or Auntie Kat and Terra.
<DeathStar> *Katrina eyes Jaime with her green eyes* Listen here, you little
<Dias`> <Id> I am not broken. I am currently being stretched thin. And for the data you talked about, I am not allowed to access the proper response properly
<Seraphna> **Jaime tries to look innocent**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh, does this mean Chad Winters is getting laid?
<DeathStar> *Adeline walks in slowly, her white hair done up in twin tails that are extremely long, down to her butt. She eyes the nonsense going on, her red eyes glowing a bit, and turns to nope out of there*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think I hear Kane calling me
<Dias`> <Id> Data not accessible.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh, is that the time? I have to be going." *follows Adeline out*
<Dias`> <Id> You do not meet the clearances to access that data.
<Seraphna> **Jaime pouts at Adeline**
<DeathStar> *Adeline glances at Ceilidh as they walk along the marketplace street*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *pats Jaime*
<DeathStar> *Katrina looks up* It got empty in here suddenly
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think Id weirded them out.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *wandering over* "So much empty space, you'd think it was hyper."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello there, Char. Food?
<Seraphna> **Thena finishes another sandwich** Victory!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So, how do you know Kane?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Please."
<Dias`> <Id> I apologize that I could not help you Erevis. 6The small orb tilts slightly to 'bow'
<DeathStar> *Adeline glancesat Ceilidh*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Me?
<DeathStar> *Katrina sets out food and a drinks and spins, puttting a brownie to share with a fox that appears on the counter*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh nods.
<DeathStar> *The fox peers at Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm his adopted daughter. His favorite daughter. *smirks*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... does that... uhh... how does this work with...?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis pats on Id*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> How does what work?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Well, ah, I guess it doesn't count. Even if clones counted as the same person, it's not like I'm married to him."
<Dias`> 6Id twitches a bit then shifts. 1"Erevis. How may I help you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am just giving you a pat to show you it is fine.
<DeathStar> *Adeline tilts her head* Hm? Hmm. *she studies her* Are you into my dad?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Or me.
<DeathStar> *she smirks*
<Dias`> <Id> That helps quanitfy my concerns about Durran and Winters. Thank you.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm probably reading too much into it, but we at least were a thing? I think...? But my Kane isn't your Kane."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’m sure they haven’t killed each other... yet.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Unless he's been adopting kids who aren't much younger than he is..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> No he isn't. *she smiles* And no, I just took a risky thing to be a little older so I could get ahead and do.. things
<DeathStar> *she says nothing more*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos would win
<Dias`> <Id> Based on the data I have researched and been programmed with, there is a 79% chance Winters will use Durran as as a meat shield.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *she nods* Your projections are incorrect. Xanatos would win, and peed in the face to call the "bears"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dad doesn’t put you with Chad’s... stuff.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... are you a clone?"
<Seraphna> *up
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And why do you want to know?
<DeathStar> *Ren climbs Charlotte*
<Dias`> 6Id blinks a bit. 1"I feel you may be wrong. Durran came to offer Winter's help. Which means he would be used as a tool.
<DeathStar> *peering down at them*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *peers at Jaime*
<DeathStar> *amused*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Id.
<Dias`> <Id> But for your reassurance. It is hard to say what state Winters is in currently.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Allow me to give you something
<DeathStar> *Erevis slides over the history of Xanatos and Chad Winters*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "In part professional curiosity, in part... I'm not sure."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Now know Xanatos will do anything you think is logical and do not only the opposite, but something completely bizzare
<DeathStar> <Erevis> For he is my man
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Also crash shuttles, according to Mom." *holds Ren close*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mom says I get my random weirdness from Dad.
<Dias`> <Id> That data is already been placed. May I insert the fact that Winters has 40 years of manipulation. 6There's a shift. 1"But with what you have stated, that may be why Winters accepted his help."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm sure there are worse people to get your weirdness from."
<DeathStar> *Ren looks pleased*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The crashing shuttles is not correct
<DeathStar> *she speaks up*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh. Well, Mom's been wrong before."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He has crashed but so has Darien Starr.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos Durran flew the centerpoint missions, and many more
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And saved our lived on countless missions
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, I don't doubt that bit."
<Seraphna> Jaime> All landings are just controlled crashes.
<DeathStar> *Erevis TK dumps water on Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you insuating something, dear darling?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **huffs and catches the water in a TK orb** I’m defending Daddy, Momma.
<DeathStar> *daughter
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmmmhm
<Dias`> <Id> If you learn of anything of them, please let me know, Erevis. 6The orbs turns to float off
<DeathStar> *Adeline thinks on it*
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Bad pilots eventually stop landing. **she winks**
<DeathStar> *Adeline thinks on it*
<DeathStar> *Adeline turns to Ceilidh* And if I am?
<DeathStar> *Ren seems to be talking to Charlotte in the language of the fox about Jaime and Erevis*
<DeathStar> *pawing at them*
<Seraphna> **Jaime puts the water in a glass and pouts at her mother**
<DeathStar> *Erevis promises Id as she nods to JAime*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I don't know. I can hardly judge you if you are, though."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well I am.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sniffles** Thinking I would say something bad about Daddy.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How much do you remember...?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis rubs her back*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> About?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Life, I guess."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I remember everything since I was born
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's better than my memory. I just sometimes wish I didn't remember... dying."
<DeathStar> *Adeline holds up a finger* Should I delete parts of your memory?
<DeathStar> *Adeline notes dryly, a gleam in her eyes*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... you can do that?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Mmm, yes. But who knows how much I'll take
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Then no."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Fair enough. I'm sure it would have only been a few months to a year or two
<DeathStar> *she smiles*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I don't want to be even more confused."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Fair enough
<Seraphna> NRP: **Adeline overdoes it, Ceil is suddenly 12 mentally**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I will let you know if I ever get better at it
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "And I'll let you know if I find anything that helps with clone issues."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How many daughters does the elder Kane have, anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Me and Jenny, his real daughter - and Wade, my brother
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "He never mentioned me, did he? My name's Ceilidh, by the way."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... no, that's not even worth asking. We weren't exactly together long."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm. *thinks* My dad is from an alternate reality so I'm not sure if you two met. But you have been brought up, yeah, in passing. There's a stone plaque with your name
<Alicia> * Ceilidh hugs Adeline. "That's enough for me."
<DeathStar> *Adeline blinks and pats her head a bit* Y-Yeah?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "A lot has changed, but it's comforting to find people still care."
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods* Well. I'm glad to help... *She pauses* Come on. I'll get you something at the bar. *she leads Ceilidh along*
<DeathStar> *bringing her back to the bar where Ren is talking to Charlotte in the fox language and showing her furry belly*
<Alicia> * Charlotte pets the fox happily, watching the proceedings
<DeathStar> *Ren stretches out*
<DeathStar> *Adeline orders Ceilidh a drink and has her hang out with her and Jaime for the night

Session Start: Wed May 06 21:58:17 2020
Session Ident: #DarkOnePower

<DeathStar> *puts up evil lights*
* DeathStar sets mode: +o Jackieness
* Alicia has joined #DarkOnePower
<DeathStar> *puts up dark chairs to sit on*
<Jackieness> :E
<Alicia> Yes, the darkest of chairs
* Seraphna has joined #DarkOnePower
<DeathStar> Alright
<DeathStar> Let us begin
<DeathStar> *Andrea calls in the Dark Ones on the PAX in the training room and allows Charlotte to hang out in the corner with Ren sleeping on her head. Heaven sits beside Thena, bored, and Sudako warily eyes Andrea, not liking something. Tamara, Heaven's twin, bounces a ball*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan stretches**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *is there in her normal form*
<Alicia> * Charlotte eyes Sudako, calmly suspecting something, yet smiling
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well this is my last training session with you all for a while
<Alicia> * Charlotte sighs a little at this, but nods.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...you myssterious quest."
<Jackieness> your
<DeathStar> *Andrea nods and steps forward* Yes, so consider this a crash course
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps an arm around Su**
<DeathStar> <Sudako> *blinks*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If you're really this nervous dear, we can combine.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *nods*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> At first I want some things
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...you can do that?"
<DeathStar> <Heaven> I don't really know anything about those two
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods** She's of my blood and my foxfire, we combine occasionally.
<DeathStar> *Andrea moves about in her teen form - one would think she's not that powerful*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... ugh... that... never mind."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> First I should answer some questions and misconceptions
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Hmmm?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps Su in her tails**
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces**
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'm not a normal Dark One.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It's one reason I can do a lot of what I do.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'm not even sure your grandmother suspected
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...this is new."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Do we have a normal Dark One in this group?
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks over at Reikana. "Do we?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Cute response Kaelan. Anyway. Females among the "original" Dark Ones do not usually rise up in power. There are some, yes, but they are mainly seen as foot soldiers or used to breed more Dark Ones, do their basic nature of instinct and emotions. You get some like those overlord types you fight, do not get me wrong
<DeathStar> *due
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I was made as a homonoculus with Dark One power to house a Dark One lord's power and to entice the original team and destroy them
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Explains a lot."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...ummm...mom...what does that meane xactly?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *smiles* Lets say, I was a doll made with dark power by a Dark One. For the most part I am a Dark One, do not get me wrong, but I was an extension of that Dark One.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So when he died I gained his power.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> And from there, I had a link to all the Dark Ones' power slowly over time.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "And that is how you were able to eat that other Dark One."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... every Dark One? All of them?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> AT that time. *to Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> But yes, Reikana
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...ah."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> But onto the other thing
<DeathStar> *Andrea up her fist* There's a few things about Dark Ones you all need to understand if you're going to reach the next level
<DeathStar> <Andrea> They are mixed with dark energy, they use emotions, instinct, and corrupted energy. The more pure Dark One you are, the more you are all those things you are - or if you take energy from a Dark One directly. *she nods to Reikana, or Heaven or Tamara* But even if you're the calmest Dark One, you can still tap your darker sides, or inside you might be more corruptive power. It is simply in you. The problem is this. It'll dull you over time. It's a weapon that hits you. Your grandmother can attest to that. When I was young
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I was powerful but I was a brat with no focus. I could do practically anything but I lashed out at everyone
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So you need to do this. It might not work for all of you
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I am full of negative emotion and anger all the time, along with corruptive power. But I keep a zen mind and peaceful things, focusing on things on top of it. This lets me use both.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> And I keep a jokey outlook
<DeathStar> *Andrea sits beside Reikana* You all need to find your own balances
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...oh god... now I understand."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Do you?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...this explains so much about my childhood."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why mom is so..." *pauses* "It does?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Uh... yeah."
<DeathStar> *Andrea motions at Reikana* Feel free to speak if you want
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Care to tell me?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Why you and... well.. other mom... did things the way you did. You were trying to help me find my balance."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is that why you're so calm?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Well... that is kind of complicated."
<DeathStar> *Andrea smiles* Yeah. I guess I always did things more in the play mode than her. She felt like you should be taught things like in a class room and be more motherly, but I just felt like being a mother who played in the outdoors. *smiles, perhaps due to how she herself grew up*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> But it also provided insight
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I wonder how bad my mother used to be..."
<DeathStar> *Andrea eyes Kaelan* You getting anything out of this?
<DeathStar> *Sudako just eyes them*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Something wrong, Sudako?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Anyway.
<DeathStar> *hops down*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> All of you come at me
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Not including me, right?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I think my 'sister' is better for this." *shifts into Noire, whose eyes flash red as she adjusts her glasses*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Yes, you can sit it out and watch with Ren. *Andrea takes a breath, looking all zen like, then her eyes goes from black to red themselves; a tentacle slams Kaelan and Sudako into a wall*
<DeathStar> *Heaven and Tamara leap to their feet*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lashes out a tentacle, forming the darkness blade that she had used during the concert battle and dashes forward*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan grabs Sudako and combines with her, pulling herself, a much darker looking Kitsune, free**
<Alicia> * Charlotte watches, concentrating. Perhaps she's trying to memorise these moves.
<Seraphna> *Thena teleports to one side and leaves a node in her space, two more forming in other random spots**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "When did you get here?"
<DeathStar> *Andrea seems to sway and avoids the tentacle and leaps over Heaven and Tamara, forming dark matter balls to send them flying
<Seraphna> Thena> Been here whole time!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *leaps after Andrea to slash again*
<Alicia> * Charlotte quietly fumes at this. Did she get outninjaed?
<DeathStar> *Andrea eyes the nodes as she grabs Noire's arm*
<DeathStar> *holding her in place*
* Dias` has joined #DarkOnePower
<Jackieness> <Noire> *withdraws the tentacle-sword, respawning it in her other hand and tries to tag Andrea that way*
<DeathStar> (even though this is meant for late TAW6, here, you can use it for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvVXyUYd03Y )
<DeathStar> *Andrea bends her back and barely avoids it as Heaven and Tamara dash in - it looks like a Dark One battle royale*
<DeathStar> *Andrea shadow ports to the ceiling*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Push yourselves, come on
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pops out of a fox hole “under” her and grabs, while the nodes form into a Thena’s and leap up**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lands on the floor and poofs, dropping out of a shadowport from the ceiling, letting the tentacle extend into a lash that she whips at her mother*
<DeathStar> *she lets Kaelan get in, and does some weird sense thing, moving to side step by a foot, then ties up Kaelan with the tentacle*
<DeathStar> *Andrea is hit by Noire, hehing. She then suddenly ages up to her adult form and grabs Noire's tentacle and begins to pull on the tentacle, yanking Noire toward her*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan's tails slither out and wrap Andrea in return**
<Seraphna> **Thena opens up her Telepathic Coordination and instructs the two to pin Andrea with her own hold**
<Dias`> 6The doors to the training room open and Dias steps through, his nose sniffing a bit as his eyes slowly lock on to everyone fighting, a grin appearing on his face as he stretches a bit while he walks in
<DeathStar> *Andrea hmmms at the tails, and HEaven and Tamara leap off the walls, and shadow port into them and throw dark matter balls at her*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *looks to Dias* "...should you be here?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *wakes up and sits up*
<Dias`> <Dias> I thought I sensed an all out battle from my tower. 6He rotates his shoulders a bit, meaning he's come from Earth and quickly.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pulls against her own bonds, wrapping around Andrea's tentacles, rooting herself to the ceiling**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *twists in place, the skirt of her school uniform flaring as she double-kicks at Andrwa* flaring
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is sensing fighting really... no, it's absolutely something that you can do."
<DeathStar> *Andrea is kicked and takes the dark matter ball attacks; after all the attacks, her clothes are a little bit torn* Well done. Well done. I approve. Okay, then. But still; let me show you something more. *Andrea shadow port vanishes and lands in the middle of the room*
<Seraphna> **The Thenas meet in midair and combine back**
<DeathStar> *Andrea lets out a breath and it's clear she's doing something*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *then slowly it seems she's dropping something; and her darkness begins to grow. It looks like she's dropping her zen facade*
<Dias`> <Dias> I can't believe you didn't give me a heads up on this Billy.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... *grabs Dias and smashes his face into the wall and steps on his back* That heads up enough, dog?
<Seraphna> Thena> Oooo, we're getting serious... **She flips and lands, smiling as she taps something under her clothes and her armor covers her body, skin tight**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... it's meant to be only Dark Ones fighting... or at least, I thought it was."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *turns, pointing the sword at Dias* "You, silence."
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena is honorary.
<DeathStar> *she looks taller, at 6'2* <Andrea> Well, if he wants to use his dark one powers. Come at me.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Cool as ever, Noire."
<Dias`> <Dias> Kid, I've had Dark One powers before everyone thoguht it was cool to have them.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... ... ... well, if you're being honest, then I can't complain."
<DeathStar> *Andrea steps forward and shadow ports and grabs Kaelan's tails and begins to tie them into a knots*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Time out, fox.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It's time you learn that you're not ready for the big leagues and go back to swords. *she seems meaner*
<Dias`> <Dias> And it looks like I won't have to hold back either. 6He begins hopping from side to side, his steps light as he bounces from foot to foot. 1"So is this everyone versus you, a free for all, or is this an ol school team up against the next generations?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Everyone against me. It's put me down enough I call quits.
<Dias`> 6Dias grins as his left foot lands and his leg bends, the ground cracks a bit below where his foot was as he comes in low towards Andrea
<DeathStar> <Heaven and Tamara> So uh.
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Dark matter her?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shifts into a darker form and uses the shapechange to rearrange her tails, as they dark out in tendrils, she forms a sword of darkness** Go back to swords eh?
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces and nods**
<DeathStar> *Andrea eyes Dias dismissively, then yawns, and then begins to bounce up to Noire and chops at her neck* And you, it's time you quit playing dress up. *she chops to KO her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother!" *then drops*
<DeathStar> *Andrea holds her in her arms and tosses her to Charlotte
<DeathStar> *even as the Dark Matter balls hit her*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan leaps in and slashes, using a Dark Matter Blade strike too**
<DeathStar> *Ren yips and paws*
<Dias`> 6Dias plants his foot, as he pivots to change directions for Andrea, the ground cracking where his foot kicks off and he goes right in to the Dark Matter Ball, throwing his fist inside of it
<DeathStar> *The attacks all knock Andrea back into the wall and she slides down it*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... ... *she then pushes herself off, then shadowports to Heaven and Tamara and whispers something insulting to them and as they look shocked, gut punches them, tkaing them down and moves to Thena and Kaelan*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... ...
<DeathStar> <Andrea> hmm
<Alicia> * CHarlotte continues to watch intently, hugging her fox while she does.
<Dias`> 6Dias twists as he lands, his eyes darting around for a split second before unleashing a wave of warm energy from him that quickly fills the room. 1"So did you even feel any of that, Billy?"
<DeathStar> *she then appears in Dias* <Andrea> Heh. Well. *shrugs* Saying I Felt anything from you is like admitting I felt something by a washed up hazbeen
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *she then moves in and begins to battle Dias directly, swinging Thena like a weapon comedically, having grabbed her, or a duplicate*
<DeathStar> *Ren paws Noire, helping her wake*
<Dias`> <Dias> You been talking to X again? 6He laughs a bit then jerks his body backwards as the Thena swings in at him.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hey, wake up, sleepyhead."
<Seraphna> **The duplicate poofs and Thena rushes in at the side, her body glowing with Hyperspace energy as she smacks her hand out, her special gloves making her graceful touches more like punches**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan takes a breath and dark energy flows around her as her eyes glow red, her bane changing to rage as she, combined with Sudako, comes in with enhanced strength and speed**
<Dias`> 6Dias plants his hands backwards, and moves to throw a kick towards the opposite side Thena comes in at, going for a feint
<Jackieness> <Noire> *shifts back into Rei before opening her eyes* "...ow..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Nice method acting, by the way."
<DeathStar> *Andrea shifts as she loses her Thena weapon and as they come in, Andrea seems to be musing and forms a tentacle wall barrier*
<DeathStar> *making them attack to get to her*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *poofs back* You okay?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "A headache... owwww..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, that's what happens when you try to fight a Dark One of Andrea's stature. Anything I can do?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So; we're down to a girl who has to make copies of herself for company, Kaelan and her lover being too close for comfort, and Dias, who wouldn't know he was unconscious if I smashed his head off
<Dias`> 6Dias shifts his weight to on his hands and he flips backwards on to his feet. 1"Hmmm....Choices choices. Let's go with option one. 6He crouches then suddenly erupts upwards, planting himself on the ceiling above Andrea, he hangs there for a split second and kicks off, causing it to crack as he flies downwards towards the tentacle ball wall, his mass increasing to it's limit as he
<Dias`> 6punches down into it
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I can't say I like it, though..."
<DeathStar> *the tentacles begin to smash inward, then they break and Andrea then flies back and goes into the shadows, and appears behind Dias; she goes into the classic Dark One form you see, looking like a bulking hulk and smashes Dias into the wall*
<DeathStar> *then goes back to her 6'2 form, but seems to be smoking*
<DeathStar> *like she is having trouble maintaining*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Alright, dog, bring it
<Dias`> 6Dias slams in to the wall, causing it to crater in and debris to fly out.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *takes a step forward and her arm twitches*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...mom is losing power..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, yeah, it was her against everyone. Did you expect her to be winning?"
<Dias`> 6Dias pops out, wincing from it. 1"Hot damn I couldn't react in time. "
<DeathStar> <Andrea> That is my trump card, you made me do it. *she grins a little evilly*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *then takes a step forward and goes to her teen form, not even her adult form*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "No, I mean she's not suppressing her power anymore...so it starting to burning out."
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "... damn it Andrea. This is not worth this..."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Alright. How best to whip you. *she seems to be still a little dark bitchy one though; it looks like she's not back to zen*
<Dias`> 6Dias holds up a finger to Andrea then takes off his over coat and tosses it to the side. 1"And it packs a punch Billy" 6He starts walking towards Andrea. 1"It's been awhile since I've gotten to be pushed like this. Thanks."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well, I'll be glad to push you around any time. *she scans for Thena and Kaelan, seeing where they are located*
<DeathStar> *Andrea then forms dark matter onto her hands* Alright, lets end this in one shot if I can. Then I'll make you my plaything for a week
<Seraphna> **A foxhole opens**
<DeathStar> *Andrea zooms forward quickly, using the shadows, not seeing the foxhole yet*
<Dias`> 6Dias smirks, as he shifts to his lower stance again, the warm aura disappearing as it's pulled back tightly against himself. It begins to shift a bit, going from it's warmth to a much more sinister feeling. An intense killing intent that even those away from him can start to feel.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peeks out, Thena still out of view... and then a bunch more foxholes start opening all over the room**
<DeathStar> *Andrea pauses and eyes the foxholes, having to stop her charge and pauses, then seems to be calculating
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ...
<DeathStar> *Andrea then leaps into a foxhole oddly*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan closes them after she does, the only exit one with four nodes pointing at it**
<Dias`> 6Dias eye's lock on to Andrea, as his left hand begins to burn with Dark One energy, the black tattoo under the bandages quickly flaring up as it wraps around his arm, twisting. His eyes pause for a moment as Andrea leaps in to one
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *clicks her tongue* "Mom just made her getaway."
<DeathStar> *Andrea appears and a tendril wraps around the node - dark one energy and hyperspace, since that is what the node is*
<DeathStar> *and then shoots more at the other three*
<DeathStar> *At the same time she begins to shadowport*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm impressed, but..."
<Seraphna> **The nodes burn and Thena? Can be seen holding her hands out, next to another Thena**
<Dias`> 6Dias takes a step forward, the ground cracking and cratering as his body disappears for those with lower than a 6 speed with a 7 struggling to keep up. He reappears below Andrea as her shadowpoert appears.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...nice, I've only seen that kind of thing from mom before..."
<DeathStar> *Andrea begins to drop and eyes Dias below* ... what are you, some sort of tracking dog?!
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'll kick you back to your master.
<DeathStar> *she holds out her hands down toward Dias*
<Seraphna> **The two Thenas come at her wrapped in flames**
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... I don't see this ending well as they all converge
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...please tell me this isn't one of those lifespan shortening things, though."
<Dias`> 6Dias grins, and then sends out his aura's killing intent towards Andrea in an attempt to falter her as he brings his left hand from behind him to hurl out a piercing punch
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I... don't know."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...tch."
<DeathStar> *Dias manages to get a 1 in 4 since Andrea is a High Boss level and she takes the punch as the Thenas arrive*
<DeathStar> *Andrea spinning comedically almost from the punch and letting out a curse word that hasn't been heard this side of the galaxy*
<Alicia> * Charlotte will remember that
<Seraphna> **They both throw a punch, one faster than the other, the foxfire hiding the hyperspace glow**
<DeathStar> *Andrea bounces from the two hits as well if Dias doesn't stop the two Thenas and slams on the ground, not moving*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Uh, I think that is her way of giving up
<Dias`> 6The Dark energy flickers a bit off his left arm as he kicks off, putting himself between the two Thena's attacks as he moves to grab Andrea, even if it means taking the hits
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *is KOed*
<Seraphna> **One manages to stop herself, proofing and proving to be yet another clone, as the other morphs into Kaelan and blinks, checking on Andrea**
<Seraphna> **The real Thena, in a Chibi form, peeks out of Ren’s tail££
<Seraphna> **
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... Wait you cheated?!
<Seraphna> Thena> Hi!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...what do you mean, cheated?"
<Dias`> 6Dias shifts her a bit in his arms. 1"To think it took 40 years of non-stop training." 6He moves towards Rei with Andrea in his arms
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *soon twitches and lifts a finger up* Did you...learn anything...about controlling your... power?
<DeathStar> *she asks the Dark Ones*
<DeathStar> *she sounds exhausted*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Umm, yes. You okay?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I will take a few days to recover my power reserve..
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Eat an orphan or two
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...mom!"
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena realized early we needed a truck so she split into Chibi and coordinated telepathically with Kaelan.
<DeathStar> *Andrea grins almost gleefully evil, her eyes still reddish*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That was a joke, Rei."
<Seraphna> *trick
<Dias`> 6Dias sets her down next to Rei. 1"I'd say they've gotten a bit better. Hard to say if you would've gone down if I didn't even the odds a bit.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Oh alright, I'll do it the old fashion way and eat a few Thenas.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's the spirit!"
<Seraphna> Thena> Should I wear my frilliest underwear?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I just need to reach them how to maintain their anger and dark impulses, and also... maintain a zen like .. attitude.
<DeathStar> *Andrea looks tired, clearly not back to a zen state at all*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Of course, Noire did perfectly."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Also, all of you, disregard anything I said in that fight. I can't help my tongue
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What does that curse mean? It sounded badass.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Even..." *she repeats the swearword*
<Dias`> 6Dias rubs his left shoulder. 1"It's just a shame they can't learn to control it like I did.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *looks to Dias* "What does that mean?"
<DeathStar> *Andrea tells them what it means, visualizing with hand gestures, then the human body*
<DeathStar> *Andrea then a pary of it*
<DeathStar> *part
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Nice."
<Dias`> <Dias> I'm a special case. Combination of pushing it to 100%, coming out on the other end. Then figuring out my Weapon power and training that to it's max.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> If you ever want, I could eat that arm for you
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Heh heh
<DeathStar> *Andrea soon has her eyes go back to normal and that aura of her's seem a little better, but she still looks run down*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "..." *eyes Dias, not impressed*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...I wonder if I could eat Dias' arm..."
<Dias`> <Dias> Let's be fair, it'd only be a disadvantage to my enemies if I lost an arm.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Mmm, you might have the genes. I mean, you are my daughter.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why not?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> After all, with what I told you
<Seraphna> **Thena bites his arm**
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You might can do what I do
<DeathStar> *she tells Reikana*
<Dias`> 6Dias pauses for a moment, blinks then howls a bit from the bite
<DeathStar> <Ren> Thena!
<DeathStar> <Ren> Bad girl
<DeathStar> *newspaper swats*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She's always a bad girl."
<Seraphna> Thena> ...I didn’t get more powerful!
<Seraphna> Thena> Also he tastes icky!
<DeathStar> <Ren> You just bit him to use that as an excuse
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... didn't you?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... maybe I should try it. Or then again, I don't need to."
<Seraphna> Thena> They said eat his arm so...
<Dias`> <Dias> To be fair, I did spend an entire year only fighting with my right arm. 6He muses for a moment then looks at Thena. 1"Probably like sweat."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Tell you what
<DeathStar> <Heaven> LEts go to Kat's an order you an arm
<DeathStar> <Tamara> ...
<Seraphna> Thena> Okay! Can I lick you to get this icky taste out though?
<Seraphna> **Starts licking Heaven’s arm**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Wouldn't a drink be better for that?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Heaven tastes the best.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I doubt that, but okay."
<DeathStar> *Andrea leans on Noire*
<DeathStar> *to head out*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> All of you keep getting better*
<DeathStar> *Reikana
<Seraphna> Thena> I can taste you Char Char?
<Dias`> <Dias> Billy, anytime you wanna go toe to toe again, let me know. It's fun to be able to cut loose like that.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Sure, I'll think on it, doggy
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... what are you even asking?"
<DeathStar> *all of you gained dark power +1*
<Seraphna> Thena> To lick you.
<DeathStar> <Heaven> I will allow it
<DeathStar> <Ren> I don't
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The answer's no."
<Seraphna> Thena> That decides it, I must lick Ren.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The answer's no."
<Seraphna> **Thena gasps**
<Seraphna> **Thena sadly hops into Heaven’s arms**
<Dias`> <Dias> WOOO! I am so glad I wound up coming back to Earth years ago. Not only do I get to fight Fate on a constant basis, I get to fight Billy all over again!
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> *Heaven pets*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think Dias is one of those guys
<DeathStar> <Ren> Who finds meaning in life
<Seraphna> **Kaelan has Su hidden in her tails, doing things to her**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... in fighting?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> *suddenly a tournmant announcement appears on the holovid for later this year: The SUPER DIAS TOURNAMENT*
<DeathStar> <Ren> In fighting
Session Time: Thu May 07 00:00:00 2020
<Dias`> 6Dias hops over to Ren, getting close. "It's because the quickest way to understand another person is when you exchange blows. "
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... is that so?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I suppose that makes sense
<DeathStar> *she taps Dias in a pressure point like Cran taught her*
<Dias`> <Dias> Yup. There's intent behind a persons motions. 6His arm goes limp. 1"....Ho ho ho. I remember that technique."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Did I win?
<DeathStar> *she asks the others*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I think so."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well lets go to the bar for food. *She leads Charlotte off*
<Dias`> <Dias> Seems I need to bump you up on my list.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *sticks tongue out*
<Dias`> 6Dias waits for them to go then let's out a huge breath of air before he staps looking around then tapping at thin air as he feels for something
<DeathStar> *the air wiggles with dark power*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> You're fingering me
<Dias`> <Dias> Shhh...I'm trying to find something.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Hmph
<Dias`> <Dias> She said there'd be a weak spot here.....
<DeathStar> *Fate leans over Dias and studies him* Boo
<Dias`> 6Dias jumps, clearly not fully recovered from his fight with Andrea.
<DeathStar> <Fate> That was not a bad fight. Andrea's dark power almost mimics a little of what I been talking about so she is a good partner to beat up on if you can rope her in. *she seems to be in her younger form*
<Dias`> <Dias> Well beating her was partly because of the others wearing her down and my body learning how to take a hit from you. I can only still get past that limit for very short moments but you've atleast taught my body to get there.
<DeathStar> *nods* <Fate> Well, I'll train with you later this week. I just wanted to observe and then peek in on this this new girl some more s well as some other movements. We got some visitors later from other dimensions. Fun for you!
<Dias`> <Dias> Wait...like that thing you talked about dimensions or like different....6He pauses and reaches behind himself and pulls out a notebook and begins flipping through it for about 30 seconds. 1"Branches?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> Sort of. It's stuff from your previous turns right now
<DeathStar> <Fate> Like Cherry.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Echos that have not left yet. *muses* Actually in this case
<DeathStar> <Fate> No you'll see soon
<Dias`> <Dias> I was about to bop you. 6He looks at her seriously. 1"You know one of lifes greatest joys is the mystery of not knowing what's infront of you."
<DeathStar> *Fate smiles and vanishes*
<Dias`> <Dias> Alright Dias, you've got 30 minutes to find it or you're gonna have to face Staceys' wraith. 6He smacks his cheeks then begins moving about, punching at the air
<DeathStar> <CHIP> .. what ARE you doing?
<Dias`> <Dias> If I tell you, are you gonna tell the Empress?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Depends on if it affects her or our side
<Dias`> (Our or your?)
<DeathStar> (basically the Empress' half of the ship)
<Dias`> <Dias> I'm told that there's pretty much no side effects.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Side effects of what?
<Dias`> <Dias> Punching....6He pauses. 1"GOD DAMNT! I haven't been this drained that a second person has snuck up on me."
<DeathStar> <Voice> Is that what you are doing.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Interesting
<Dias`> <Dias> Doing what? 6He turns to look at the voice.
<Dias`> <Dias> Because I'm pretty sure all I do is punch things...and kick things....and knee...well I use my body on things I guess.
<DeathStar> 6* The Empress is standing there in front of him . She has the same long red hair as Erevis, minus the white streak, and is wearing what appears to be a chinese dress type outfit that looks armored to take hits and seems to be looking at him, watching his punches at the air* Yes. That is "all" you're doing.
<DeathStar> 6* The Empress is standing there in front of him . She has the same long red hair as Erevis, minus the white streak, and is wearing what appears to be a chinese dress type outfit that looks armored to take hits and seems to be looking at him, watching his punches at the air* Yes. That is "all" you're doing.
<Dias`> <Dias> Well I did just get done beating Billy in a fight. 6He taps his chin. 1"
<DeathStar> <Empress> That is an unusual power you have there. *she notes* But it looks like you cannot do it on command.
<Dias`> 6As he taps he suddenly has that oh shit moment. 1"Empress. Wait...what power? Beating Billy?"
<DeathStar> <Empress> *she waves her hand as if that is trivial* You are not one who is used to lying I think; ignorance maybe, but I do not believe you are one used to lying.
<Dias`> <Dias> Hold on....OH you mean the word version of a feint.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Hm. *she steps forward and studies the area and then after a bit touches a spot*
<Dias`> <Dias> There's a lot of Dark One energy. 6He notes proudly.
<DeathStar> <Empress> I believe this is the spot you were looking for.
<DeathStar> *she notes to Dias*
<Dias`> 6Dias looks at her curiosly then moves over rapping his knuckles towards the area
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a weak spot like Fate has been teaching him due to all the dark energy*
<Dias`> 6Dias get's a look of recognition, his knuckle stopping for a moment as he holds his hand out, the warm area flickering a bit off him before becoming steady. 1"How do you know about these points?
<Dias`> *aura not area*
<DeathStar> <Empress> Well I did cross over here, did I not?
<DeathStar> <empress> Not that I can do something like punch myself through
<Dias`> 6Dias peers at her a bit. 1"Well either can I, yet. But some day. And then after that, I'll make sure our branch won't have anything to fear."
<DeathStar> <Empress> Interesting. I look forward to seeing that. *she nods and moves to leave*
<Dias`> <Dias> Our universe needs a beacon of hope. Something that everyone aspiring hero can look forward to. The PAX does it's job but do you believe it actually inspires?
<DeathStar> *she peers back* <Empress> Hm. *she thinks, then taps her chin and gives a mysterious smile and moves off*
<Dias`> 6Dias makes a face for a moment then turns to the spot the Empress pointed out and takes a deep breathe before he shifts into a stance and begins to throw punch after punch in to it
<DeathStar> *The Empress makes notes on her thing: inspiring the galaxy*
* Pache has joined #DarkOnePower
<DeathStar> *Dias vanishes out into space for a second, looking like he's plummeting out to Earth comedically; but somehow he soon arrives back outside his office, landing outside it*
* Alicia has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 189 seconds)
* Pache is now known as Alicia
<Dias`> 6In what can only be described as a very 'controlled' fall and a small crater
Session Close: Thu May 07 01:33:09 2020

<DeathStar> *Katrina has Terra in charge*
<Seraphna> **Terra sits on the counter in a tiny waitress outfit**
<DeathStar> *Taiga rests on Terra's head in fox form*
<Seraphna> **Terra gives everyone fruits when they order something**
* Sathen has quit IRC (Quit: AndroIRC - Android IRC Client ( http://www.androirc.com ))
* Jackieness has quit IRC
Session Time: Thu May 07 00:00:00 2020
<DeathStar> *Ren eats the fruits*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yum
<DeathStar> *Heaven arrives with Thena to find food*
<Seraphna> Thena> Bring me an arm of power!
<DeathStar> *Katrina blinks and grabs something close to it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You can't just ask to eat an arm."
<Seraphna> Thena> Arm!
<Seraphna> **Baby Terra gives Charlotte a fruit** Fru!
<Alicia> * Charlotte eats the fruit, almost without looking. "Thanks."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, I think I learnt a lot."
<DeathStar> *Katrina brings out fancy dish with the paper saying "arm"*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Like that Dias likes to partycrash."
<DeathStar> <Ren> He is one of the strongest fighters, but also one of the denses
<DeathStar> *she laughs at her joke*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, I already knew that bit."
<DeathStar> *Ren muses, wondering if Andrea has a dark power battery like the older one, or if being younger Andrea recharges fast*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There are a few things I learnt that I might be wrong about..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Like everyone's weak points~"
<DeathStar> *Ren nods thoughtfully*
<DeathStar> *Ren muses*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Have you ever done any meditation?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> A little
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I never bothered with it much before, but I might now, if you think it'll help?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> It could. The way she was talking though it seemed like something about balancing stuff; I mean, it's for dark ones. Controlling their dark impulses, and anger - embracing it and pushing it under a zen mindset, so that it bubbles under it? So finding one's path to it. But The mindset might be useful for anyone
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It sounds enough like normal meditation techniques that it's probably useful in general?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It might not be as healthy for normal people, though."
<DeathStar> <Ren> We can practice together
<Seraphna> **Thena noms her “arm”** Wow... arms taste just like chicken!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I call it the Thena Special
<Seraphna> Thena> An arm of power for everyone!
<DeathStar> *Ren snuggles Charlotte, feeding her*
<Alicia> * Charlotte blushes, being snuggled and fed. "I like this."
<Seraphna> **Jaime peeks in, checking on her daughter but also sizing up Char and Ren**
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Ship approved.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, it's up to you now, is it?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *huffs at Jaime* Does she just ship anything?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Apparently if she ships something, they become a couple. I married Terra last night
<Seraphna> Jaime> My power is mighty.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's too great a power for any one person."
<Seraphna> Thena> *whispers* Rumor is Jaime is a love goddess.
<DeathStar> *Katrina just cleans dishes with Terra; neither have rings despite what she said*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Not just a crazy shipper?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Who knows
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well I am a goddess in training.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... ... I see."
<Seraphna> **Baby Terra makes a fruit appear** Fru!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Divine Fruit.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Wait, she can just... make fruit appear?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I didn't know spirits could do that
<DeathStar> *something lands on Charlotte's head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sylph has been teaching her things.
<Alicia> * Charlotte tries to look at the thing
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I sense fruit in here
<DeathStar> *she eyes all of it, in pixie form*
<Seraphna> **Terra makes another appear** Fru! Fru!
<DeathStar> *Sylph takes it and noms*
<Seraphna> Terra> Terra Fru.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "An infinite fruit loop?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Surely that burns power to make the fruit
<DeathStar> <Ren> Making you hungry
<Seraphna> **Terra eats one** Fru!
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think she found the loophole.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Uh huh.
<Seraphna> Terra> Fox Fru?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Me? Sure.
<Seraphna> Jaime> No we shouldn’t turn people into fruit dear.
<DeathStar> *Ren deadpans*
<Seraphna> Terra> Fru! **she makes a melon appear**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh I see. Why does she call melons Fox Fruit...
<DeathStar> *Ren muses and her hand glows*
<Seraphna> Terra> Fru? **offers to Ren**
<DeathStar> *it seems she fails with her reality power - she gets a 3*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Darn; I tried to make a new power
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...huh?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Maybe I can do it later. *to Charlotte* I wanted to try make something that would make candy to give you
<DeathStar> *she wags her tails*
<DeathStar> <Ren> A Candy power with my reality
<Seraphna> Terra> Fru better. Make Fru!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Cake can be both!"
<Seraphna> Terra> Fru... cake?
<DeathStar> *Ren takes the fruit*
<Seraphna> **Terra looks around curious for this mythical fruit cake**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yes! Fruitcake exists!"
<Seraphna> Terra> Fru cake! Want!
<DeathStar> *Sylph eats the melon and soon looks like a round ball*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmmm, do you serve a fruit cake, auntie Kat?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Terra?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Maybe we should."
<DeathStar> *KAtrina nods and has TErra make it for them*
<DeathStar> *it is soon brought out*
<Seraphna> **Terra dive bombs to eat it** Fruuu!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh my
