<DeathStar> Location: Spirit Realm
<DeathStar> 6* The Aquarius has been armed and ready, as the creatures are gathering in the Spirit Realm; before Erica and those onboard, they black masses seem to be swarming the area and taking over areas. The castle, the lakes, the trees, the structures with the cores inside
<DeathStar> 6* Trying to devour any Spirit Energy inside
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ...
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Wow
<Seraphna> Cookie> Can we boom them now?
<DeathStar> *Mireille looks wary*
<Sara> <Erica> I mean, we could try. With conventional weaponry.
<DeathStar> *the black sludges seem to be growing size*
<DeathStar> *Pepper locks on and begins to fire at it, blowing away at pieces of it*
<DeathStar> *but it seems to be regrowing*
<DeathStar> *the entire area just feeding it*
<Sara> <Erica> Well, that's fucky.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well it feeds on what? Everything? Can we anti-matter or something?
<DeathStar> *Mireille muses and seems to be thinking*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well we can hurt it
<DeathStar> *Sylph appears on the ship*
<DeathStar> *looking winded but recharging*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> But we're not doing enough damage.
<Seraphna> **Cookie frowns in thought**
<Alicia> <Asha> "Can we hold it back until everyone gets back, and then hit it with everything?"
<DeathStar> **the monsterous thing seems to be getting bigger in size, that it's now on height with the Aquarius*
<Seraphna> Cookie> WE're gonna have to, it keeps getting bigger.
<Sara> <Erica> ... Sylph? *she turns to look at her*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> The others are on their way. They have the pieces.
<Sara> <Erica> Well at least we can get away from this horrible thing soon then. I'm pretty sure it wants to eat... literally everything?
<DeathStar> *she nods outside the ship where the others can be seen approaching the ship, and some floating and in bubbles*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yeah, but if we leave this place, won't it eat the Spirit Realm?
<Sara> <Erica> Well I'm a bit worried punching it won't work, but I'm open to suggestions.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Probably, so we'd better make it stop.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Unless we could somehow bait it away.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I wonder. One moment. *she teleports out, leaving the Aquarius without it's spirit*
<DeathStar> *Pepper's attacks meanwhile have made the black monster turn it's attention to the ship*
<DeathStar> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy6cyUV_UH0
<DeathStar> <Pepper> Uh oh
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well that's worrying. I'm a bit afraid to try a Psychic attack, I don't know what it's brain is like.
<Sara> * Erica jerks at Mirei disappearing
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Did Mireille just abandon us in our time of need?
<Sara> <Erica> Well we don't have that many options here, Cook!
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session459
<DeathStar> *Mireille returns with Nicolette, Lana, and those holding relics*
<DeathStar> *just as the monster grabs onto the Aquarius and begins to drain it*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Nah, she's doing something. Lemme see... I could... **she links to Pepper and feels out slightly into the future to give Pepper a better chance of hitting in the most effective spots**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We're finally... ok, not that great in here either."
<DeathStar> *Pepper begins to aim at various spots, blowing away arms and pieces, though they begin to regrow rapidly. Chronos dusts herself off*
<Seraphna> **Alita blinks, tilting her head at the scene, she and Talia start summoning fireballs outside to hit the thing**
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I have a question of the people who know stuff.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Mireille> You said the Spirit Realm is a metasomething. Does this mean the Spirit Realm is really powerful for spirits and connected to all things, right?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Pretty much.
<Sara> * Erica shrugs. She's not the most technical one.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "It appeared to respond to the will of spirits."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I mean... yeah, I'd think so. It's been drained out some, but..."
<DeathStar> <Mireille> *nods* Momma, I will need your help.
<DeathStar> *she sinks into the spirit chamber*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I'm going to will the Aquarius using the Spirit Realm.
<Sara> * Erica blinks
<Sara> <Erica> Well, I mean, whatever you need.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And what does that even mean? *she whispers*
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns** I'll try a bit to buy us some time... wish Thena was here to do this bit. **She frowns and holds out her hand, forming a node outside and blasting a line of Hyperspace across the creatures, her hand smoking after** Gahhh...
<Seraphna> Cookie> SHe's gonna power the ship with FIGHTING SPIRIT!
<DeathStar> *the creature howls at the attacks and turns to try to drain the ship; at the same time, warnings appear on Erica's console*
<DeathStar> *asking her if she accepts an unknown spirit item that is above this ship's acceptable range of power*
<Seraphna> **Cookie cheers** Do it Mirei!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Are sensors getting any close up data on these things?!"
<Sara> * Erica peers at the console and shakes her head, accepting it because Mirei
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Usually I'd say to be careful about that, but the time for not accepting power is over. Full force."
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius begins to power up, consoles blowing out - as the Aquarius seems to be drawing in the Spirit Realm itself*
<DeathStar> *Pepper's weapon console literally sparking with the spirit energy*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... wait, is she doing what I think she's doing?"
<Ariel> * Nicolette braces herself, because this will be big one way or another
<Seraphna> Cookie> Whoooo!
<Seraphna> Jaime> It scares me when Cookie gets excited.
<DeathStar> *Erica begins to see unknown commands on her console; as if Mireille is tapping into will itself by doing this.*
<Alicia> <Asha> "I thought it was only Sparkling who did things like this!" <Kyouki> "You have no idea."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Alright lets give it a try. Pepper - fire
<Sara> <Erica> And by that, she doesn't mean the fact that your console is literally on fire
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well that, too
<DeathStar> *As the Aquarius takes aim, a massive laser beam forms and takes aim, firing at the creature and destroys a chunk of it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...well...don't stop now!"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Evertyone, take up consoles and take aim
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Don't make Pepper do all the shooting.
<Seraphna> **Jaime grumbles and nods, waiting for the next blast while holding up her other hand.**
<Seraphna> **Cookie puts goggles on so she can look into her console better**
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia eye the consoles and start summoning a bigger fireball outside instead**
<Sara> * Erica is attending her console, naturally
<DeathStar> *the console seems to be running spirit energy - Alita and Talia would be able to summon and tap into the spirit realm if they want to form bigger attacks*
<DeathStar> *even Nicolette could probably do it*
<Alicia> * Asha joins Alita and Talia, adding her own flair to the flare.
<DeathStar> *The creature tkaes the attacks, and and a black massive sweeps down to try to eat those outside*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and pulls Gnome into a hug and combines with her, she forms a huge boulder outside and hurls it at the stuff**
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia rain fire down on the thing**
<DeathStar> *right as the boulder hits it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I wonder if I can tap into some of that juice." *goes ti give it a try, trying to casting a massive dealto lock down the creature*
<Jackieness> deal == seal to
<Alicia> * Kyouki pauses, before moving to throw a black hole at the creature
<DeathStar> *the attacks seem to be making it bigger and hurting it at the same time; as Lana lcoks it down, and Kyouki's blackhole attack, something appears; a core*
<Seraphna> **Jaime squeezes her hand and the shattering stone forms into smaller fist shaped stones to rain down on the thing**
<DeathStar> *it might have been a spirit core once*
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia wrap the stones in fire for added fighting spirit.**
<DeathStar> *The Aquarius takes aim*
<Ariel> * Nicolette finds the tech a bit over her head. She watches over the weakened spirits, trying to magically sooth their symptoms
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Permission to fire?
<DeathStar> *Sylph and Neekito smile at Nicolette*
<DeathStar> *the creature is hit and the core shudders; it does one last attack and grabs the ship's front*
<DeathStar> *and begins to crawl up it*
<DeathStar> *going for the bridge*
<Alicia> * Asha attempts to intercept it with a wave of flames
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia join their fire**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries pouring more power into her seal to drag it back down*
<DeathStar> *the fire cuts it off and Lana drags it back down and Pepper takes aim at the core* <Yuki> Get this thing off my Erica's ship, please. *the Aquarius takes aim and a massive Spirit blast destroys the creature.
<DeathStar> *the black dissolving and the sky clears in the Spirit Realm*
<Alicia> <Asha> "The Academy wins again! Wooh!"
<DeathStar> *Mireille exits the pod, smoking*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Whew... I need a toke badly.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I need a party, stat!"
<Sara> * Erica moves over and 'catches' the smoking Mireille, holding her
<Alicia> <Asha> "I feel like this deserves a party!"
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Ah... *she jerks, her body twitching badly and she looks younger, since she puts a lot of her power to look older than she is*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> hah..hhaha.01101... Ahh..ow..
<Alicia> * Kyouki shadowports to Erica and Mireille's side. "Are you alright?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> Ah, she'll be fine, she didn't say 2. But let's get you to medical anyway, sweetie.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> *looks at the two, looking a little confused* Who are you..? Oh... right. Momma. Kyouki. Cookie...
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> *Chronos speaks softly* It isn't over yet.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Can someone... scan or something?"
<Seraphna> **Cookie hits the scan button**
<DeathStar> <Chronos> We still need to free the Spirit Realm from the mirror universe and bring it back to the Prime Universe. To do that we need to go into the Mirror Universe one last time and I will guide you. You'll need the Aquarius for that job.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> But you have friends somewhere else and this will cut them off from it forever.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> You should send someone else to retrieve them while the rest of you do this.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Ah yeah. Selena and the kids, as well as Chelsea and Cypher
<Seraphna> Luci> Yeah... I'm getting my kid.
<DeathStar> *Asarar tenses up*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Don't forget one of the Id shells."
<Sara> <Erica> You all right? You look like you just had a squirrel crawl up your ass. *she asks Asarar*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Who?
<Jackieness> <Kira> *glances at Asarar* "Sounds like a personal job."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I do not like the idea of leaving Chelsea and Cypher in this broken world forever.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Isn't that why we're getting them back?"
<Seraphna> Luci> Well good thing we aren't. Let's get them.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Just know the more you send off the less people you have to do the main job
<DeathStar> *Asarar makes a face*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah... umm... the slight hitch, my daughter and Fae are there too.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I... yeah, I wish I could help you guys get this set up, but I need to make sure Sel gets back okay."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Go get them, you guys. Erica and I will see to this mission and wait for you
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods and puts her hands in her coat*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Crystal Kumen
<DeathStar> *the boat has been sailing a few days; during this time the sky has become pitch black and stormy*
<DeathStar> *they soon approach the Priest Island, and see the mountains with the sandy desserts around it*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> ...
<Sara> * Cherie is holding on to Bella or Ruhi -- possibly both -- and seems tense
<Seraphna> Nell> This all feels wrong.
<Alicia> * Sparkling looks relieved to be arriving, not understanding the issues.
<DeathStar> *Cloé has her arm in a sling and Seniga is wearing some guase on her face*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...so we going in with a plan this time?"
<Seraphna> Nell> Us? With a plan? That was Selena's thing.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi pats Cherie
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *uncertainly* "So, Selena...?"
<DeathStar> *Selena looks up with food in her mouth
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hm?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I got plan! *nods*
<DeathStar> *Selena beams at the attention*
<Seraphna> Nell> I meant our Selena, when she was old--- oh you do?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Alright! We're good!"
<DeathStar> *Seniga deadpans*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...so... what is the plan?"
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the mountains* <Seniga> Well, I guess we'll have to climb these and go on foot. <Selena> Fly over! <Seniga> ... Anyway, if we climb over and go on foot we might find a carriage --- *suddenly the boat begins to shake*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Merowl!?
<DeathStar> *she shakes on Cherie's shoulder, having been a cat scarf*
<Seraphna> Nell> Why are we shaaaaaking?
<DeathStar> *the boat begins to lift off a bit*
<DeathStar> *and floats*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *moves to look over the edge of the boat*
<Seraphna> Nell> ...Welp, she's in charge now.
<DeathStar> *it seems the boat is very old model air boat model*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Neat!"
<DeathStar> *that looks barely functional. The air model seems to be straining to work and Selena beams*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...so... it is legit flying. How did it get switched on?"
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi pulls Cherie close so not to fall over
<DeathStar> <Selena> *poses*
<DeathStar> *kid luck, or some Selena power*
* DeathStar sets mode: +ooo Stretch Ariel Dias`
<Seraphna> Nell> Princesses are like, magic right?
* DeathStar sets mode: +oo Jackieness Xanatos
<Jackieness> <Bella> *looks back at the others* "That engine is in lousy shape though. Like the van was a model of safety and efficiency by comparison."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Magic!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Pretty much!"
<DeathStar> *as they go over the mountain, something suddenly lands on the boat and rocks it even harder - and comically rocks the mall*
<DeathStar> *all
<DeathStar> *a magical girl with a hat standing there*
<Seraphna> Terra> Want Land-Sleeeed!
<Sara> * Cherie gasps, hand on her mouth and everything
<Jackieness> <Bella> "The hell?!" *tries to steady herself*
<Alicia> * Sparkling blinks. "Another maka here?"
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> uhhh
<Seraphna> Nell> Umm... hi, Hat Lady.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> All this rocking is making me sick
<DeathStar> *she leans over the side*
<DeathStar> *the person appears to be Nicolette*
<Alicia> * Sparkling's magical outfit is already fading to her Luna school uniform, her pink hair fading to brown
<Seraphna> Nell> Why're you going all... not pink?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Uhhh... I'm magik..."
<DeathStar> *Cypher is sitting in the back with Chelsea, eating popcorn watching this*
<DeathStar> *where she got it, who knows*
<Seraphna> Nell> This seems the opposite of magical. Turn into a Dragon like I can.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "No, I mean... I'm normally magical, and I can't recover here..."
<DeathStar> *as they near the Priestess fortress, the wind picks up a bit; blowing Cloé off Cherie. The blue cat lifts up and over the railing*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *runs to grab Cloe*
<Sara> <Cherie> Nngh. *she reaches for Cloé, worried*
<DeathStar> *Cloé grabs onto both of them, the cat making a merowl*
<DeathStar> *poofing into her human form,*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Bad idea to be small here, bad idea!
<DeathStar> *The wind is picking up bad*
<DeathStar> *even Selena slides about*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Soemthing is up!"
<DeathStar> *and the bad is rocking*
<DeathStar> *boat
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Can we finish up here?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> How do we land this thing?!
<DeathStar> *she eyes Ruhi and Bella*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *scrambles to find the controls*
<DeathStar> *the crystal like fortess can be seen up ahead; Bella would see levers on the controls*
<Seraphna> Terra> Faeee, wind being mean!
<DeathStar> *with a button*
<Jackieness> <bella> "Hang on..." *tries to drop the altitude a bit*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Hm.
<DeathStar> *she focuses*
<DeathStar> *Bella pulls the lever; sadly it is stuck and when she does it, it sinks them comically like a rock*
<DeathStar> *they all go flying down*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Cherie, I never told you but I---
<DeathStar> *her voice is lost*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> let me tryyyyyyyyyyyyyy
<Jackieness> <Bella> *tries to pull the lever back up* "Shhhhhh-!"
<DeathStar> *the boat bounces back up*
<DeathStar> *with a crack sound heard*
<DeathStar> *Selena goes flat*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> why did it crack!?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I-I don't think I want to know
<Seraphna> **Terra squeaks and puts her hands to the boat, trying to join the metals together**
<DeathStar> *the boat can be heard melding together*
<Sara> * Cherie lets out a yelp
<DeathStar> *Nicolette's hat lands on Sparkling's head*
<Sara> * Chelsea offers soda to Cypher
<DeathStar> *Cypher sips it*
<Alicia> * Sparkling wears the hat, now the hat girl.
<DeathStar> *right now the boat is floating near the top tower of the fortress*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Its old! Metal fatigue and crap!"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> W-Well we kind of made it
<DeathStar> *there seems to be a window if they can make the jump*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *goes to look over the side of the ship, trying to spot any activity on the ground or at the tower*
<DeathStar> *it is strangely still down below; Bella sees one person but they seem to be laying down on the ground. How odd*
<DeathStar> *there is a shadowy thing moving around on the ground*
<Seraphna> **Nell picks up the spirit babies and moves towards the window**
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *leaps across with the grace of a cat*
<Seraphna> Nell> Everything okay?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "OK... I am officially creeped out. Anyone have binoculars?""
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi gages if she can make the jump
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> nope
<DeathStar> *it is about six feet*
<Seraphna> **Nell moves over to peek with Dragon eyes**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> ".... sorry."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "There is a body down there and....something else."
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a black blob of some sorts that moves about and looks almost spiritish in nature; the body is a C'en priest*
<DeathStar> *looking drained*
<DeathStar> *the door looks boarded up and there is activity inside*
<Seraphna> **Nell frowns and peers around for a metal cable or something of that nature**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Nell? What did you see?"
<DeathStar> *there is no metal cable that could go down that far if you're wondering*
<Seraphna> Nell> A priest and something big and dark.
<DeathStar> *After all they're on the top tower of the fortress*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...I think this place is under siege."
<DeathStar> *Cloé peeks out of the window* <Cloé> That good?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Then Selena has won?
<Seraphna> Nell> I doubt I can float metal down that far without something to channel through. We'd better stick away from the ground floor for now.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Can everyone make the jump inside or should I try to float the boat closer?
<DeathStar> *she asks, since the jump is 6 feet*
<Seraphna> Nell> I'm fine. This is nothing for a tiger. **she grins, holding Fae and Terra, and leaps across**
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I probably can but...
<Jackieness> <Bella> *hefts up her pipe* "I'll go first."
<Sara> * Cherie shakes her head
<Chaintan> 6*she looks down to herie
<Chaintan> Cherie^
<Sara> * Cherie looks scared
<Jackieness> <Bella> *uses the staff like a polevault and jumps across*
<DeathStar> *Bella lands inside and rolls up to a statue*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi kneels down, and cups Cherie's cheek
<DeathStar> *of some C'en priest statue*
<DeathStar> *in the robes and looking hooded*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> you just hold onto me tight, and dont look ok?
<DeathStar> *Selena focuses and flies across like Aska*
<DeathStar> *Seniga leaps and omcially slams into the ledge, then climbs up*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *goes to the window and tries to use her staff to let people grab on*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> You can do it, sis! You are my hero
<DeathStar> *She paws*
<Sara> * Cherie nods quietly
<Alicia> * Sparkling waits, and then crosses with the staff.
<DeathStar> *Cypher whispers with Chelsea* <Cypher> We'll guard the boat and wait on you guys
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi gathers up Cherie in her arms,getting as far back as she can,running before making the jump.
<DeathStar> *the group finds themselves in the tower with the C'en priest, who looks important, a desk with paperwork, and stairs going down*
<DeathStar> *Seniga has been reading through it*
<Ariel> * Nicolette appears, and reclaims her hat. "Urg... I think that teleport was misaligned."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> It looks like they been writing about all of us
<Seraphna> Nell> Does it say how awesome I am?
<DeathStar> *Seniga> You're that other Maka that Smacking Justice tlks about
<Alicia> <SParkling> "Hi Nicolette!"
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What did they write?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *bows with a flourish, her hat waiting in mid air for her to stand straight again* "The magnificant mystical Nicolette, at your service."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Careful not to overexert yourself... this place is bad."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> It mentions how they been studying all of us - Bella, Ruhi, and Cherie especially, due to you guys connection and how they believe it makes you three powerful. And Cloé as well, being a familiar and tied to the spirits, and of Cherie's bloodline. Bella, and her lineage with the parents who could use this thing called the Net. And Ruhi's parents, who apparently were tied to another reality.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> It's mostly babbling. As for Nell, they have a lot of details on you and been studying ways to stop you, seeing you as the powerhouse. And learning about your connection to the Dragons.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "That sounds... really interesting, but you guys are going to need to hurry up. This reality is going to be sealed off from the other forever, soon."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> And they been studying Jinx and myself,
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *glances up, then thinks* Oh. Right. Mom mentioned something that we'r a pocket reality. I guess we're being sealed off?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Can't we just take the notes with us?"
<DeathStar> *Seniga grabs it*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...what? What does that even mean?!"
<Seraphna> **Nell looks all proud** I am rather badass.
<DeathStar> *Selena wanders down the steps*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I have no idea, Bella.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It means if we don't hurry, we'll be stuck here forever."
<Seraphna> Nell> Hey! No starting an escort mission without me Sel! **she moves after her**
<DeathStar> <Seniga> We'll talk to our Cypher and figure it out. But for now lets wrap this up and get back
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Wha? Hey, Sel! This isn't the time to go adventuring."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'll go after her." *follows*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "So what exactly are we doing here again?"
<DeathStar> *Selena leads them down a hallway, where they see what looks like a massive chamber. Crystals are all over the place and some major machine has been set up. The priests are all over, praying to it and there is a seat in the middle, designed for someone to be put inside and drained of blood into the crystals
<DeathStar> *and it's Cherie sized*
<DeathStar> *it looks like the machine is designed to do something*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi grimaces and holds Cherie a bit tighter to keep her from looking
<DeathStar> *the machine looks to be two stories, with the group on the second story, looking over the railing at the massive machine with the priests down below moving about. There's various doors on their floor and stairs leading down to the bottom floor*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> What in the hell
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *makes a growl*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Lets smash that thing."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Wait... what is this place you have found?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> That's what I'd like to know
<DeathStar> <Voice> Ah. So you all come. *a hooded C'en priest approaches them from the a door that opens on their floor*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "The C'en think that if they grab Cerie, they'll win. They have no idea the universe is ending."
<Seraphna> **Nell frowns, shard blade forming as she gets into a defensive stance**
<DeathStar> *The Priest C'en stands there, facing them*
<DeathStar> <Priest> You made it just in time
<Seraphna> Nell> Go on, make the speech.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... that's sad." *prepares to fight, despite her low magical power remaining, but definitely doesn't make the first move*
<DeathStar> <Priest> Mmm? Speech?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We're expecting the villain monologue now."
<DeathStar> <Priest> I am just glad you children have finally come to see reason and come to offer the girl
<Seraphna> Nell> There it is.
<DeathStar> *he extends his hand toward Cherie*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I'm just confused why you need her
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What are the crystals for?"
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> like hell Im handing her over
<DeathStar> <Priest> She controls the rare ability of manifestation and bonded this creature called a familiar. *Cloé jerks and looks huffy*
<Seraphna> Nell> You... know this world is about to come undone right?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...what? That's not how that even worls."
<DeathStar> <Priest> Her blood and power will power all our structures to repel the monsters invading and repower our people, and reverse the damage you children have done.
<Jackieness> works
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Not happening."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "OK, why are we here again? These guys are full on cukoo."
<Seraphna> **Nell rolls her eyes** Suuuure, we caused the damage. Not the people who invaded the place.
<DeathStar> <Priest> Hm. *he closes his eyes* Are we? We offered your world peace and prosperty? We forced the world called Kumen to no longer mistreat other races under their care
<Sara> * Cherie hides behind Ruhi quietly, watching unnervedly
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We're here to stop them... from taking Cherie..."
<DeathStar> <Priest> No slavery, no forced labor, no sexual trades.
<DeathStar> <Priest> We gave peace
<Seraphna> Nell> And just happened to black out the other planet, kill a bunch of people and make orphans of a whole lotta kids. But sure, you made peace.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... s-s-s... I shouldn't be listening to this!"
<DeathStar> <Priest> There is always a price for peace.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We definitely felt like slaves and forced laborers when you were in charge."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I can't believe we're even listening to this
<Seraphna> Nell> And the road to hell is pathed with the best intentions.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You can't just do what you want and call it justice!"
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Right, let's blow this joint!"
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> and theres always another way, if Cherie is the -only- one that can do what your suggesting, how the hell were you ever gonna test your theory?
<Seraphna> Nell> Course you wanna kidnap a kid to use in your... blood machine. How noble.
<DeathStar> *the Priest waves his hand and the crystal device begins to power up* <Priest> You may have a point. But since she has come within in range, it has begun to react to her already. I suppose we shall see
<DeathStar> <Priest> If it has enough power without placing her on it and using her blood
<Sara> * Cherie's ears stand on end and she is now more scared, emitting a whine
<Seraphna> **Nell growls low in the back of her throat**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...screw it." *hefts her staff and tries slamming the priest int eh face*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well, then I guess everyone is happy. Let's go, people? Oh, ah, too late."
<DeathStar> *the device begins to drain the team of their strength; Bella's whap barely does anything*
<Seraphna> **Nell hurls the blade out, sending shards of metal flying out, but not at the priest, at the machine**
<DeathStar> *the Priest casually palms Bella and sends her flying into Rui and Cherie*
<Alicia> * Sparkling charges up a magical blast, aiming it at the device.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...whose idea was this again?! Let's get out of here!"
<DeathStar> *The device is damaged a little*
<DeathStar> *other priests casually lock the door*
<DeathStar> *and bar it*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi shields Cherie and grunts when impacted with Bella
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Grrr
<DeathStar> <Head Priest> Your attacks are weakening. Do you really think you can do enough damage against the machine?
<Seraphna> **Nell starts to pull at the metal back, to cause more damage and regain her weapon** Now I'm pissed off.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...can you see the front door from up here?"
<DeathStar> <Head Priest> Hmmm?
<Chaintan> *Ruhi cracks her neck
<Seraphna> Nell> By the way, what you want to shield this palce from? It's in the courtyard already. **she grins**
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> dunno if id say my strength comes from any other power but...lets give it a shot.
<Seraphna> Nell> And it's feeding.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...if you can break th front doors from here... do it."
<DeathStar> <Selena> *swings her sword but falls over*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Well my main strength is sapped. *she tries to use her bracelet*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> Bella take over with Cherie ok?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is it really alright to take out the doors instead of the machine?"
<Seraphna> **Nell taps her bracelet and starts trying to send parts of the room into the machine, and weaken the floor under it**
<DeathStar> *Nell would find the bracelet is being affected too*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "It is if they creatures break the machien for us!"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Wait... how are you powering that machine of yours?"
<DeathStar> *Nell's attacks hit the floor but without the usual punch*
<Seraphna> **Nell focuses on using the power to weaken the stone more, hoping to get the weight of the machine to be it's own... literal downfall**
<Sara> * Cherie eyes the machine warily, letting out the occasional little yelp from the noises people make attacking it
<Seraphna> Nell> Only thing I can think of... is Cherie... they say that machine amplifies your power...
<Seraphna> Nell> Maybe... you can use it for what YOU want?
<DeathStar> *The Priest eyes Nicolette, curious why they would explain that to her
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi attempts to pick up the smartmouth priest
<DeathStar> *Ruhi strains, her strength not what it is; it looks comical*
<DeathStar> *as she lifts him up a bit*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...because if that thing is using realityish or spiritual power? Those THINGS are just going to eat it up and multiply."
<DeathStar> <Priest> What are you doing?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Wait, what are you saying?
<DeathStar> *she eyes Nicolette*
<Seraphna> Nell> Heh... figures the C'en would be dumb enough to try... and stop something with it's own source of power...
<Alicia> * Sparkling continues charging, putting her whole magical power into this one attack, waiting on a target. It's her last magical blast, she doesn't want to waste it.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Those black things are like the corruption of spirit energy. They absorb it and convert it into more of them!"
<DeathStar> *Selena looks frustrated as her bracelet isn't doing much. She tosses her bracelet over at Cherie*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> well it was worth a shot 6*headbutts his nose
<DeathStar> *The Priest goes down*
<DeathStar> KO
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Did we win?
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> not till we get Cherie out of here and away
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Nice!"
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Door or machine?"
<DeathStar> *the device turns a red color*
<DeathStar> *and begins to act strange*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...hey, soemthing is uop."
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi checks him over for any key or device
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I got a bad feeling.
<DeathStar> *She would find a thing to lock Cherie into the seat*
<Sara> * Cherie looks uneasy and shivers
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Tell me what to blast!"
<Sara> * Cherie picks up Selena's bracelet, keeping it safe, however, for lack of anything else to focus on
<Seraphna> Nell> I dunno, the machine!?
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> Cherie!
<DeathStar> *Cherie would feel stronger*
<DeathStar> *the other priests in the room seem to be moving to get weapons, giving the team a bit to regroup*
<DeathStar> *Even as the device seems to be up to something*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Maybe we should try to get out now before those guys come back."
<Seraphna> **Nell backs up, pulling her weapon back together and panting hard**
<DeathStar> *Nell has made a crack in the floor by now*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Well
<Seraphna> Nell> Sparking
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Hey
<Seraphna> Nell> THe floor... under the machine, I weakened it.
<Alicia> * Sparkling takes a deep breath, then blasts the machine with everything she has.
<DeathStar> *the machine goes down and vanishes
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Cherie, do you feel any better?"
<Alicia> * Sparkling's magical outfit fades from her, leaving her just a brown haired girl in a Luna school uniform.
<Sara> * Cherie shakes her head; most of her unwellness is purely psychological anyway right now
<DeathStar> *suddenly the room shakes and the floor gives out and they all fall down to the level below*
<DeathStar> *Seniga squeals and falls and Cloé falls down and lands on her head*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Ow..
<Sara> * Cherie shrieks as she falls
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi reaches for Cherie
<Jackieness> 6* Bella tries to grab Cherie and cushion her
<Seraphna> **Nell lands cat like, because, well, cat.
<Alicia> * Sparkling drops to the floor below, landing on her rear, which is still better than landing on her head.
<DeathStar> *they have landed on the first floor. Near the boarded up door*
<Sara> * Cherie lands on Ruhi and Bella, the hard way @_@
<DeathStar> *suddenly Bella and Ruhi are snatched by crystals and pulled onto the chair meant for Cherie*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Uhh..
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What the?!"
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi snarls and twists
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> stupid....priests
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...we don't really fit on this thing..."
<DeathStar> *Selena points* Are they cuddling?
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I sure dont
<DeathStar> *she asks nicolette at the two sitting on each other's lap*
<Alicia> * Sparkling runs over to try to free them, not especially well given her lack of magik.
<Seraphna> Nell> Smash it!
<DeathStar> *as they are poked with needles to drain them*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Ow! Cut it out!"
<DeathStar> *Seniga pulls at them*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> How? We don't have the power.
<Sara> * Cherie points her bracelets at the chair
<Sara> * And focuses
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi tries to bite at whatever is holding the needle
<DeathStar> *combining light with wind, a super attack destroy the chair*
<DeathStar> *and knocks Bella and Ruhi up comically*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I can't break the chair by smacking it with my wand! I'm not Smacking Just..."
<DeathStar> *it looks like having two braclets supercedes the strength drain*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...this day sucks..."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> can say that again....
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... I want to go home..."
<Sara> * Cherie nods sadly
<Sara> * Agreeing
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Is it over?
<DeathStar> *the eyes the hole in it*
<DeathStar> *The device seems to shut down*
<Seraphna> Nell> I'd like to complain to a manager.
<DeathStar> *there's a knocking at the door*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *moves to open the front door*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I want to say yes...but I rather they cant salvage this....but it sounds like thats our cue to get out
<DeathStar> *Selena slowly moves the boards on the front door*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "..wait... stop that princess!"
<DeathStar> *Selena opens the door*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi rushes to hold the door shut
<DeathStar> *Ruhi sotps just as the monsters nicolette was fighting begin to slide in*
<DeathStar> *it's forced out*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Eep.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> what the fuck is wrong with you
<DeathStar> <Selena> It knocked.
<DeathStar> *the six year old blinks*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So... how do we get out?"
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> put the boards back, NOW
<DeathStar> *Selena strains to put it back on*
<Sara> * Cherie cowers under somethings
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We need to get back upstairs somehow..."
<Seraphna> **Nell starts boarding it up with metal too**
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi rubs her face
<DeathStar> *Cloé pets Cherie* Cherie. I believe in you. Just so you know. You're my hero.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Hey, who has the wind bracelet?"
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> maybe with the bracelets or something, we can---yeah
<DeathStar> *Cherie has it*
<Sara> * Cherie blinks, unsure
<Sara> * But then focuses her bracelet power
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Not me."
<DeathStar> *a massive monster suddenly knocks down the front wall*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Sis, now!"
<DeathStar> *leaving everything gone and showing the outside*
<Seraphna> Nell> Rude! Use the door!
<DeathStar> <Seniga> What door?!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We wouldn't open it."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> no solicitors
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Hmmm. I'll buy Ruhi time for her plan
<DeathStar> *they can see the air boat flying in the sky*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm glad someone has a plan."
<DeathStar> *Cloé forms her familiar attacks, drawing on her life attacks and dives forward*
<DeathStar> *drawing the monster's agro*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> all of you get to it, I'll pummel on this for a minute...gods I need it
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Can you really do it?
<DeathStar> *Cherie would have wind gathered in her bracelet*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> the machine isnt sapping me anymore I think
<Sara> * Cherie tries to help the others get back up
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi tries a test punch on the monster
<DeathStar> *Ruhi is at full power, and Cherie is using her wind power; Cloé has distracted the monster and punches it, finding it gooy and and spiritish.*
<Seraphna> **Nell nods and forms a fist out of the wall remains and punches at the monster**
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> re
<DeathStar> *it turns, and swipes Cloé up into it, making her vanish, then turns to face Ruhi*
<Chaintan> ew^
<Alicia> * Sparkling helps the others up too, not sure what else she can do right now.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Cloe!"
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi glowers and smacks her braclet
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> Ive really had enough of this
<DeathStar> *Seniga shakes her hand*
<DeathStar> *the monster reaches for any with magical energy; it reaches for Nicolette then pauses, sensing Ruhi's bracelet*
<DeathStar> *going for her*
<Seraphna> **Nell sends metal from all around the room at it** No you don't!!!
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi whistles, bouncing back a bit
<DeathStar> *the air boat lands nearby to help the group escape*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> thats right, over here
<Sara> * Cherie levels her own bracelets at the monster and fires her wind at it now
<Sara> * Stupidly, but, you know
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 204 seconds)
<Jackieness> <Bella> "don't attack it directly! Use the debris, Cherie!"
<DeathStar> *the monster chases Ruhi, then is hit by Cherie, turning to face Cherie, sensing magic*
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session459
<Sara> * Cherie shrieks and runs toward the boat
<DeathStar> *it chases*
<Seraphna> **Nell keeps up a barrage of metal and scraps at the thing, relying on physical damage**
<DeathStar> *magic magic magic*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> Goddamnit dont ignore me!
<Jackieness> <Bella> *runs to put herself between Cherie and the monster*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi tries to focus her rage at the bracelet and then the monster
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Everyone onto the boat!" *moves for the boat, but puts more focus on making sure everyone else gets on than herself*
<Seraphna> **Nell gets on, checking on everyone, Terra from the boat forms a ramp for people to get up faster**
<DeathStar> *just before Bella is consumed by it by running over her, it turns back to Ruhi*
<DeathStar> *and advances*
<DeathStar> *swiping at her*
<DeathStar> *Seniga gets on the boat and Selena climbs on it*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *then turns and moves for the boat*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Get on. *she has Chelsea captaining it*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi jumps to avoid the swipe
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...that thing got Cloe..."
<Sara> * Chelsea is deadpanned, used to absurd situations and monsters by now
<Seraphna> **Nell forms a sort of board and spins it around, flying it past Ruhi** Hop on Ru!
<DeathStar> *The monster seems to realize it can't beat Ruhi as it is and turns into a monsterous form of Cloé that it ate, and leaps at her*
<Sara> * Cherie curls up and cries on the boat
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Can we save Cloe?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Cherie has a connection to her, so maybe?
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> cough up our friend you son of a bitch 6*attempting to used the braclet one more time
<Sara> * Cherie whines Cloé's name, but clearly she isn't well and is fully in a panic
<DeathStar> *Ruhi punches and shatters the monster into fine mist*
<DeathStar> *the sky lightening*
<DeathStar> *Cypher kneels by Cherie and pulls her into her arms*
<DeathStar> *petting her head*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Shh, you did good
<Sara> <Cherie> ........
<Alicia> * Sparkling looks for Cloe, hoping...
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi pants looking around for where any of it went and more specificly Cloe
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I know you been through a lot
<DeathStar> <Cypher> But remember something, little one, fear and panic closes your heart; just have faith and believe in your friends and your family.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> And they'll come to you
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Yeah..."
<Sara> * Cherie sniffles
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Belief makes miracles happen!"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Is that hat maka still here?
<DeathStar> *she glances at the ruined fortress*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Nico!
<DeathStar> *Selena sniffles, too*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi tries to just climb out now, exhausted.
<DeathStar> *Seniga helps pull Ruhi up onto the bota*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *pets Cherie's head* Just keep believing in her. And don't close your heart. That's all I ask
<Sara> * Cherie whimpers
<DeathStar> *the airboat tugs along*
<DeathStar> *back to C'en Tower*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...yeah...you have to try, Cherie."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "She'll be fine... I'm sure of it."
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> *the team arrives a day or two later at their home, well, the Crystal Kids. The older Cypher rushes in and scoops Cherie up*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Cherie~
<DeathStar> *The Crystal Cypher hugs her tight*
<Sara> <Cherie> ... *looks down and to the side, even quieter than usual, even around her mother*
<DeathStar> *Cystal Cypher holds her close. The other Cypher peers to the side. Asarar is there, eyeing the kids - having grabbed anyone that was around the Tower*
<DeathStar> *Seniga looks exhausted* The last of the C'en are ... gone.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Alright, what happened?"
<Sara> <Cherie> ...And Cloé
<DeathStar> *there seems to have been a battled here recently with monsters - one can see the city has taken a hit and their forces repelled the monsterous anti-spirits that Ruhi punched.*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Cherie, you need to stop and wish her back. She is your responsiiblity, so you need to wish her back!"
<DeathStar> *Crystal Cypher looks a little lost
<DeathStar> *Cloé, the kid one, peers around her Cherie at them all*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I-I'm gone?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Only for a little while."
<DeathStar> *she peers at Cherie, then the Crystal Cherie. She shyly walks up to the other Cherie and offers her something*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> These other versions of us gives me a headache.
<DeathStar> *she notes*
<Alicia> * Sparkling looks completely different untransformed, despite the only actual differences being her hair colour, style and her outfit.
<DeathStar> *she eyes the younger Ruhi, then her Ruhi, and so on*
<Seraphna> **Little Nell pounces Seniga's back** Come with us.
<DeathStar> *Ruki is chatting with her Ruhi* <Ruki> Anyway, that was a nice tour of this world
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Eh?!
<Sara> * Kid Cherie 'paws' at kid Cloé with her hands
<Seraphna> L. Nell> Come with us! We're gonna go home to our reality which is the bestest. You can stay with us~
<DeathStar> *Kid Cloé has left Crystal Cherie as flower in the shape of a paw*
<Sara> * Future Cherie cries, certainly wishing Cloé were back... but in that desperate, 'someone died' kind of way
<DeathStar> <Kid Cloé> You shouldn't cry. *she hugs; then flees back to her Cherie*
<DeathStar> <Crystal Cypher> Anyway, I was told by Asarar that you all are leaving.
<DeathStar> <Crystal Cypher> And that this reality will be sealed back off once and for all to keep those ...things out from eating our world. l
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...wait...what?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Basically they're some sort of anti-spirit monsters and they're eating the mirror universe. By locking out your alternate future, they can't reach you all
<Seraphna> Nell> Aww, I wanted to spend more time with Mom.
<Seraphna> Luci> I know kiddo.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But it means we can't ever come here again
<Jackieness> <Kira> *puts an arm around Asarar*
<DeathStar> *Asarar leans back, and flips Bella somethng*
<DeathStar> <Riki> Oh! Big Ruhi!
* Ariel has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<DeathStar> *Riki moves over to her*
<Sara> * Chelsea eyes Asarar and Kira, and glances at the Crystal Cypher, just... pondering the state of things, and all that's being left behind for good
<DeathStar> *she hands her something*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> uh...yes mom?
<DeathStar> <Riki> This is for you. I want you to have it
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session459
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Huh?" *looks at what Asarar gave her*
<DeathStar> *Riki seems to give her a heirloom from Bisby side*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi looks at it and smiles weakly
<DeathStar> *Riki hugs her*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> thanks mom
<DeathStar> <Riki> Good luck, big one.
<Seraphna> **Luci puts something in the older Nell's hair** Had this rigged up before we left... keep it safe okay kid?
<Seraphna> **Nell nods and sniffs**
<DeathStar> *Bella has received what appears to be instructions on how to run a bar, receipts on drinks, floor plans, and diaries from Asarar*
<DeathStar> *As well as a heirloom of Asarar's - a coin of sorts that looks rather odd, but uniquie*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi gives Riki a peck on the cheek
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Looks like I'm opening a bar."
<DeathStar> *Riki beams*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Wait, what?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> You?
<DeathStar> *Cypher looks a little lonely, being alone here, but smilesat her daughter. Suddenly something leaps on Cherie's head*
<DeathStar> *Asarar steps back and stands by Kira*
<Sara> * Chelsea hands Future Cherie an old gemstone, and some small random piece of Sweet tech
<Sara> * Cherie wobbles and falls over, unprepared for this
<DeathStar> *it looks to be a kitten Cloé - her Cloé*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Dreams make magic happen!"
<DeathStar> *Cloé rolls off onto her lap, looking disoriented*
<Sara> * Cherie sniffles and starts crying all over again
<DeathStar> <Kid Cloé> She looks younger than me!
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Still... hope one day can come back to visit... even if they say we can't." *gives Asarar's arm a squeeze*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Who knows
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Mireille has done the impossible before and Erica has done stuff I wouldn't think possible. She might get us back one day
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm sure we'll find a way someday. Until then... I won't forget you."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We can't rule it out
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Speaking of which. *she holds up something* Our ride is here
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Good bye everyone. *she takes Chelsea's hand*
<DeathStar> *Selena sniffles and waves at Ruhi*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Bye! Sorry!
<DeathStar> *then looks more adultish* I will be a great princess and leader one day
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<Seraphna> **Luci picks up Kid Nell and nods to them all**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *goes over to give Bella a hugm even though Kira isn't always the most affectionate in public*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I know you will."
<Seraphna> **Terra sits on Asarar's head**
<DeathStar> *they group is all teleporeed away, one by one. Except Nicolette. Kidding, kidding*
<DeathStar> <Kitten Cloé> Mew?
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session459
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I can't wait to get my magic back... I can finally feel like myself again."
<DeathStar> *after Sparkling is gone, Seniga turns to the others*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Well.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I guess things will go back to normal?
<DeathStar> Epilogue:
<DeathStar> 10 years Later
<DeathStar> *the scene opens up in Bella's Bar*
<DeathStar> *the group getting together to meet up and hang out after some time*
<DeathStar> *Seniga has been away doing adventures to help reclaim more land on Geyze. she glances to see if anyone else has shown up at Bella's yet*
<DeathStar> *her hair is cut short and dyed pink just for fun*
<Seraphna> **Nell lands as a striped dragon, stretching wings before turning into a tiger girl**
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Nell. How are you?
<Jackieness> <Bella> *is at the bar, wearing a particular slinky red number that makes her semblance to her mother all the more pronounced*
<DeathStar> *she hugs and pats her back*
<Seraphna> Nell> Good! More building than clobbering these days. **she winks, noting the pink hair, pulling her own back into a tail**
<Seraphna> **Nell returns the hug**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Welcome to my place."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Hey Bella.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Have you seen the others yet?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Not yet."
<DeathStar> *Cloé enters, looking young these days*
<DeathStar> *she bounces inside*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Wow! Hey, Elly!
<DeathStar> *Belly
<DeathStar> *Cloé bounces up on the counter*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Hey there Cloe. Where is my sis?"
<Sara> * Cherie slinks in behind her, trying her hardest not to be noticed
<Seraphna> **Nell peers about** Well the place looks nice, still holding together?
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Well, she is the world's largest idol these days. *she notes - is she serious though?*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *glanes over at Cherie*
<Sara> * Cherie looks a great deal like Chelsea these days -- aside from her hair color being a bit different
<DeathStar> *Cloé nods knowingly at Bella*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> When she puts on her idol outfit she becomes a new person. *She teases*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Has anyone seen Ruhi lately?
<DeathStar> *Seniga orders a drink for them all but Cloé*
<Sara> * Cherie looks at Cloé, making a slightly grumpy face at the teasing
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Hasn't been through here."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Well it is nice we're all here for the most part
<Sara> * Cherie reluctantly sits down at the bar
<DeathStar> <Seniga> What has everyone been up to?
<DeathStar> *Cloé sits and leans against her sister lovingly*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Let me go and get changed. This is my tipping dress, and that isn't why you're here."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> True. *to Cherie*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> So what ARE you up to?
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Feeding me
<DeathStar> <Cloé> And petting me
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Well I personally help set up settlements
<Jackieness> <bella> *disappears through a door near the bar*
<Chaintan> 6*The door quietly opens for a lean willowy figure framed with long hair mixture of white and grey the trails to the knees in bone straight fashion. The easiest tell of who it is being the pale white ears that flick to the sound of chatter as a 'uptown' woman enters with a click of stilleto heels, hose, pencil skirt and matching coat.
<Seraphna> Nell> Hey Puppers.m
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Oh wow
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Hello there
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Who is that pretty lady?
<Jackieness> <Bella> *comes back out in a much less fancy outfit*
<Sara> * Cherie looks over
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Ruhi
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Oh, look who showed up."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *gets onto Cherie's lap, looking Cherie's age, synching with her*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I heard rumors that this one is all over the place.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Like Nell. I heard rumors Nell was seen eating cows
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> everyone..
<Sara> <Cherie> ...Ruhi
<DeathStar> <Seniga> How have you been, Ruhi?
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi shrugs
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> quiet mostly
<Chaintan> 6*moving over to join everyone
<Jackieness> <Bella> "You don't look like tis been quiet. Rather fancied up."
<Seraphna> Nell> I prefer my cow cooked.
<Sara> * Cherie looks Ruhi over, eying how fancily Ruhi is dressed, feeling severely underdressed now
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Are you married or something, or do you have sugar daddy?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Spekaign of... Nell, Bar Burger?"
<Seraphna> Nell> Oh yes please.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> Dosco keeps me quite comfortable
<DeathStar> *Seniga spits her drink out*
<Sara> * Cherie's ears twitch
<Sara> * But she says nothing
<DeathStar> *Cloé pauses, thinking - her memories having holes since being "reborn"* That name feels familiar
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> relax, he's just into pretty women who bully him for money
<Sara> <Cherie> "Sugar Daddy"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I was totally joking
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I didn't really think
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...yeah... right.. Bar Burger..." *eyes Ruhi a moment and then heads to get Nell's food started*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *looks at Cherie innocently* Cherie. What's a sugar daddy and what does it mean to bully people for money?
<DeathStar> *Seniga spit takes again*
<Sara> <Cherie> Sex for cash
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I have never slept with him I'll have you know
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I believe you
<DeathStar> *Cloé nods at Cherie's wisdom*
<Sara> * Cherie returns to being quiet, as if she said nothing odd
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Wait, when did you learn that kind of stuff?
<DeathStar> *she eyes Cherie*
<Sara> * Cherie pets Cloé
<DeathStar> *Cloé purrs*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I bet it was Jinx again.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> So. Does anyone have kids yet?
<DeathStar> *Seniga shows a picture*
<Seraphna> Nell> Mm? Kids?
<Sara> <Cherie> Cloé is still a 'kid'
<Sara> * Pet pet
<DeathStar> *it's a picture of a cute girl and boy* <Seniga> I adopted them with my partner.
<DeathStar> *Cloé beams and looks happy*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> theyre precious
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Does that ..count? *for Cloé, but guesses it does even if she can synch her age with Cherie's for a bit*
<DeathStar> *Cloé for her part it back to being a cute kid*
<DeathStar> *humming*
<Jackieness> <bella> *steps out with a burger and fries that she sets in front of Nell* "One Bar Burger and fries. The secret is the special sauce, which comes in a side car for the fries."
<Sara> * Cherie yawns
<DeathStar> -PAUSe/END-
