<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.5.14
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* The scene opens up on Geyze and it everything is going well. Students are running around to their classes and things seem well. With classes wrapping up by the end of the month, things are in high gear in some areas, even Rachael can be seen in the background doing her thing. The Spirits for their part have been attending the Elder Spirits school
<DeathStar> 6* To try to get stronger and master lost abilities
<DeathStar> 6* Celes sits at the head of the table, hands folded as she listens to the students outside and the commotion, eyes closed
<Seraphna> **Jaime sets out a bowl of the strange fruits she has been developing with extra spirit-ness, guaranteed.**
<DeathStar> *Selena is going over her notes that her private tutors have given her while sitting at the meeting table*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps into the mansion to pay a visit* "Good day. Now where is my dear sister?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis steps up and shoots confetti on Jaime, making a mess of her, then sets down a fruit cake*
<DeathStar> *with 49 candles on the cake*
<DeathStar> *making it so the cake is practically on fire it seems*
<Alicia> * Sparkling has been paying even further attention to her magik classes, having gone from curious to Nicolette levels of study
<Seraphna> **Jaime flusters**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan blows party horn blower things then pauses and pulls it out to look at it since it didn't make a sound.
<Seraphna> Jaime> S-So many candles.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I thought these made an obnoxious bzzzzrt sound.
<DeathStar> *Celes opens her eyes, motioning Sasha to take a seat next to her*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please *she motions at Jaime* Blow them out
<Seraphna> **Jaime does so, blushing**
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves over, taking the offered seat next to Celes*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Happy birthday."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan claps and makes a yay sound, blows the party blower thing one more time before grumbling at the lack of sound.
<DeathStar> *Erevis pats Xanatos*
<DeathStar> *Erevis sets down a present from her for Jaime, and a mysterious silver present with no label, then sits down*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "It happens to all of us, Xan."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I didn't know it was your birthday or I'd have gotten you something
<Jackieness> <Lana> *shuffles up from her lab and slunmps in a chair*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **looks shy as she opens it** It’s okay, we’ve been so busy I forgot too.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC peers up from her drawing book.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I don't feel quite as bad about forgetting myself, now. I still plan to get you something, though."
<Seraphna> **Talia sets down a fish for Jaime, the ultimate gift** Then this from Gwen too.
<DeathStar> *the Erevis present seems to be a book on politics and galactic matters, since Jaime seems to interested on the matter on it lately, as well as a book on plants*
<DeathStar> *Gnome has left a seed for Jaime, in a pocket*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** Thanks Momma.
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods, then folds her hands together*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pulls out two baseball caps, one says #1 Dad and the other says #1 Daughter and he gives Jaime the Dad one, placing the other on his head.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats in, peering about briefly before resting on something to the side
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe your other sisters have your gifts on the PAX.
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and puts hers on** I think you might have gotten them backwards Dad.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well, since that is done
<DeathStar> <Ceels> Let us get to business
<Xanatos> <Xan> Nah this is more accurate. 6* He winks, glancing to see what Celes has to say.
<Seraphna> Jaime> O-Of course.
<Alicia> * Asha pauses a moment, before handing Jaime... a pot. An obviously handcrafted pot. "It's not much, but take this."
<Alicia> <Asha> "Earth and fire combined to make this."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon comes jogging in and takes a seat, breathing a little heavily.
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** Thank you. We’ll put a nice plant in it.
<DeathStar> <Celes> With around 70% of the monsters done, the remaining ones are still a problem, especially with the Monster Lord gone. That's good news and bad, since the population has reduced, but that means they've gone back to their old ways
<DeathStar> <Celes> Messing with people, taking people to raise their numbers, but they're limited in number.
<ChadWinters> <Id> So are we to end them while their numbers are reduced or simply work on reinforcing area's that need it?
<Seraphna> Talia> Spank them! Talia will be new Monster Lord!
<ChadWinters> <Id> Hmm. Did Jaime not make friends with one that we thought about turning in to a monster lord?
<DeathStar> <Celes> I guess that depends on what is decide by the leaders. *she peers at Sasha, then Talia* I do hope a new Monster Lord doesn't rise up.
<ChadWinters> <Id> What of that one?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> No, she caught one thta might become a Queen of one race.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Can you even be a Monster Lord, Talia?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> Ah that is what it was.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *grumbles*
<Seraphna> Talia> Am already the Kitty Lord Meowicles.
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... Ah. Of course. *she notes in a tone like when she speaks with Luna*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Still, the less organized behavior does put traditional monste rhunters back into business once again."
<Seraphna> **Thena peeks in**
<Seraphna> Thena> I hear the Kittylord?
<DeathStar> *Celes .,,,'s*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...may we return to order?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh no, they broke Celes.
<DeathStar> *but manages to keep a neutral face. Only Liana or Sasha might detect a slight twitch*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I hope this doesn't cause problems going forwards."
<Seraphna> Talia> But if I was Monster Lord, could make the monsters behave right?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *places a hand on Cele's lower arm just out of sight*
<DeathStar> *Celes rubs face* Very well. Let us entertain the idea of you becoming the Monster Lord. Do you even know the qualifications of how to become one
<Alicia> <Asha> "Can we not?"
<DeathStar> *she says, her voice raising one octane higher*
<Seraphna> Talia> Tell them I in charge now?
<DeathStar> <Celes> .... *motions at the door* Yes. Let us try that. Report back if you survive.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *puts a hand on Talia, shaking his head no*
<Seraphna> **Talia pouts**
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would appear Gwen does not believe you can do it.
<DeathStar> *Gwen jerks*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I..uh...
<Seraphna> **Alita steps in, sighing a bit as she sits** Can we not goad my familiar into such things?
<Alicia> <Asha> "I agree with Alita."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Fffff.."
<DeathStar> *Gwen lets out a breath, clearly about to tell Talia she can do anything she wants*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Are we done playing?"
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia could do it. She gonna be good mommy.
<DeathStar> *Gwen spits out water all over Celes*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Are you sure about that?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> .... *Dabs water off her face with a look of death* .... ....
<Seraphna> **Talia nods eagerly** Yep...!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... I see."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...sister..."
<DeathStar> *Celes quietly folds the cloth up and sets it aside*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .. *to Xanatos* I sense tension
<DeathStar> *she notes loudly*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I feel like we’re losing out by not filming these meetings.
<ChadWinters> <Id> I record everything I see.
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... Anyway. As I was trying to say. The monsters might become a problem in the future. I will let you know what the Kingdoms decide what to do
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And I shall bring it befor the Alliance."
<Seraphna> Talia> I will have my agents see about me becoming their ruler mommy.
<DeathStar> <Celes> And how the Peacekeepers are directed, and if there is anything we might can do. Which brings us to points 2 and 3. The Kingdoms.
<DeathStar> <Celes> It is clear that some outside agent might be influencing them and that they do not trust each other or the Alliance. And it is only a matter of time before it breaks apart. I am getting reports myself that some of the Kingdoms are planning actions against Hapian.
<ChadWinters> <Id> And we have no clues as to who they may be?
<Seraphna> Jaime> So we need to uncover the miscreant?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have theories.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But no proof
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *frowns*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Theories can be the starting point that leads to proof.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...what proof is required? Have you leads?"
<Seraphna> Talia> It’s not the Monster Fish.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Of course not. You'd have eaten it if it was."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Geyze, Kumen, and the PAX are the only people that can allow access to Yggdrasil without causing a war. Any ship that wants to get close to the tree must get permission from the Alliance or the Empress on the PAX.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If the Alliance falls apart due to infighting and goes back to it's old ways, getting too preoccupied with years of fighting, and the PAX is drawn into wars of a galactic nature.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "So you believe that this is ultimately about that tree?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> Than that would the tree more or less unguarded
<ChadWinters> *leave the*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Wouldn't it be easier for them to gain permission, though? Unless what they are planning to do is too big to be unnoticed..."
<ChadWinters> <Id> It's a strong theory that holds weight. The tree is very powerful, if something were to happen to it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is possible. Which makes me think is might be the group that worships the Serpent, the Serpent Clan or whatever they call themselves and their shapeshifting agents. I believe we are 12 years or so until the Serpent is revived.
<ChadWinters> <Id> That has been a working theory among a few people.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And shapeshifting agents would be perfect for destabilizing governments.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Knew it!"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "One way or another, they're definitely planning to gain access."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you plant a few shapeshifters here and there to cause in-fighting here and bring down the government over a few years
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We need a way to identify them."
<ChadWinters> <Id> I believe we've considered the Serpent a future threat. Which means they've begin making their moves if anything
<Seraphna> Jaime> The others were hunting them for a while. They have methods.
<DeathStar> <Celes> That is definitely long time planning. And I believe reports state even Makas have trouble identifying Hunters
<DeathStar> *referring to the elite Shapeshifters*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...and the tall cloaked figures! I bet they are Serpent agents too!"
<ChadWinters> <Id> The best laid plans are ones that happen slowly enough that no one notices them until it's too late.
<DeathStar> <Celes> *puts on a board the team's ideas* Alright. We will look into this idea and see if there are merits, but if we go asking around it might tip our hand.
<DeathStar> *Selena sneaks behind Lana with a cloak*
<DeathStar> *standing at her full height*
<Seraphna> **The words “Meth Gators” gets on there somehow. Thena looks innocent.**
<DeathStar> <Selena> You know too much~~~~ *she says in a raspy voice*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *falls over!*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Okay, lets put our final agenda on the board. The time machine
<ChadWinters> <Id> I would believe that they won't care if we push to hard. If a few here and there get caught, they won't worry. If anything they'll push their time table further out.
<DeathStar> <Celes> *she writes it down while Selena helps Lana up*
<DeathStar> <Celes> At some point we'll have to decide when or if to use it
<DeathStar> *Celes writes cave portal on the board*
<Alicia> <Asha> "So, do we even need to discuss it yet?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> The problem is there will always be new crises coming up. So I think it will come down to setting a date when we want to use it and who wants to come. I won't decide yet
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "From what I have read in your reports, Chronos is being tight-lipped."
<DeathStar> <Celes> But I think maybe those who wants to know about the past of the Ancients and our history should go, while anyone else who wants to stay here and help with things should stay when the time comes.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Time travellers usually are."
<Seraphna> Thena> Mmm, I can investigate.
<DeathStar> *Selena peers at Thena* You think it's wise for you of all people to go?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I mean you're a mote, right?
<DeathStar> <Selena> If I poked you hard enough you'd like explode
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And kill us all, really."
<ChadWinters> <Id> And who's to say a mote can surive time travel. It may explode during the trip, killing us all like Lana suggested
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I veto the Mote Thena coming
<DeathStar> *Gwen raises hand*
<Seraphna> Thena> Was gonna ask Fate stuff.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *Raises hand* That works
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "If Thena comes, it should be the real Thena, and not a copy."
<Seraphna> Thena> **sniffles** I-I real.
<DeathStar> *Selena moves to poke Thena*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Do not, please, daughter
<Seraphna> **Thena squeaks**
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Lets not poke hyperspace bubbles. Even potential ones."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I want to go and Simon should go too."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...unless this is how Simon got trapped in the past!"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Of course I will.
<Alicia> <Asha> "How *does* Thena avoid killing us all with these motes, anyway?"
<DeathStar> *Celes writes the names down so far* Alright. We can add more when the time comes. *Celes has her name, Liana's, and Selena's*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Her motes warp back to her on release.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Huh."
<ChadWinters> <Id> I will come with.
<DeathStar> <Celes> For now. We need to work on tools on finding the shapeshifters. Lets talk to Cypher and Chelsea. And if that is not enough some of us can volunteer to go to the PAX.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Sister, is it wise for you to go?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I .... have a need to go. I will have Eve be in charge for a time. She has been doing better.
<DeathStar> *Celes rises. Erevis nods; Celes leads them next door to Chelsea's workshop*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well I have the most access to the PAX of anyone here...
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm probably staying. I'm more interested in the present than the past."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Perhaps we could talk to the shapeshifters we made peace with. They may be willing to help us avert a disaster caused by their own
<DeathStar> *Celes also has Sparkling come along*
<Sara> * Cherie sees the group pass by, and hides
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "From what I have read, The PAx is already at peace with them. These are rogue elements."
<DeathStar> *Cypher has Aimée and Mélodie sitting down to be lectured*
<ChadWinters> <Id> This is true, but they may be willing to help out to prevent someone from getting the wrong idea.
<DeathStar> <Selena> *Waves at Cherie*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The ones giving trouble are the elite ones called Hunters
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are capable of giving the Makas trouble at detecting them sometimes
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They will even kill regular shapeshifters to maintain their cover
<Sara> * Cherie hides in a bush
<DeathStar> <Selena> Uh... I... *holds up a Luna to lure Cherie*
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm guessing they smell normal, too?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Here you go
<ChadWinters> <Id> And you do not believe they would have a way to track their own kind?
<DeathStar> *Cloé hides with Cherie*
<DeathStar> *Cypher looks at the group approaching and Celes curtseys*
<DeathStar> <Celes> We have need of Chelsea's aid
<DeathStar> *she pushes Sparkling forward*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Me?"
<DeathStar> *Cypher eyes them, then sighs and lets the two Spirits go. They run off*
<DeathStar> *Mélodie hides behind Sparkling*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Chelsea. Celes wants you do something unreasonable again
<DeathStar> *she yells out*
<Sara> * Chelsea comes out
<Sara> <Chelsea> Why are you so loud? Did something get smashed again?
<DeathStar> *Cypher motions at Celes having a hand on Sparkling* Hello, Chelsea. We have need of your ability to invent things so I am wondering if you think you might can build something with Simon
<Sara> <Chelsea> I mean... I'm always willing to try to help...
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?" *rises a hand*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We need a shapeshifter detector.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes, the elite Shapeshifters. Makas can detect regular ones, but they have trouble detecting the elite ones - the Hunters. *she pats Sparkling*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Ah, you are tasking her with doing what is near impossible. Interesting
<DeathStar> <Celes> I am not sure if Sparkling's power would be of help but I can lend her to you
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'll do my best!"
<Sara> <Chelsea> Uh, well... *she blinks, her ears twitching*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Nothing is impossible, the method for doing it just hasn’t been determined yet.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Well, magically speaking there are many types of detection spells. This transformation is more biological so I would hope that they cannot shield against the spell. But finding the spell and imbuing the device will be...challenging.
<Sara> <Chelsea> That sure is a tough question, given everything... I mean, I'm willing to try if Simon is...
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes. If we do not try, we can not succeed.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Maybe you can find something to strengthen Sparkling's power?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahh-hhmmm!!!" *waves a hand* "Does someone need a technomancer?!"
<DeathStar> <CeleS> Of course, Lana. I did not mean to leave you out
<Sara> * Chelsea eyes Selena, wondering if that would just result in a huge explosion
<DeathStar> <Selena> Heh..heh?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Good, because combining technology and sorcery is my thing!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> I mean, I just thought strengthening her maka detection, not her blowing up power, that would be bad. For us
<DeathStar> *Selena rubs her head*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'll be quiet. You guys are the experts
<DeathStar> <Celes> Anyway, Sparkling. Do anything they need. No matter what. *she smiles - almost evilly*
<DeathStar> *then moves to go*
<DeathStar> *Mélodie thumbs up at Sparkling*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Why's uh, she picking on the kid? 6* He whispers to Erevis
<Sara> * Chelsea yawns and stretches, then looks at Simon. "Well, I guess we have a long day ahead of us even beginning to think about this, huh."
<Seraphna> **Talia in Kitty form plops on Lana’s shoulder**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Why does that sound ominous?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Indeed! I shall prepare the tea.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think Celes is still suffering the effects of Talia. *She nods*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Don't worry, we are going to have lots of fun!"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *rises and moves after her sister*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Be our guest. *she nods to Simon*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ah. Tension. 6* He repeats with a nod.
<Sara> * Cherie picks up Cloé and carries her past in complete (read: zero) stealth
<Alicia> <Asha> "Please, no Monster Lords."
<ChadWinters> <Id> What is our next action?
<DeathStar> *Selena pretends not to see Cherie
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and moves to make some tea.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I guess I'll watch the kids. *she scoops up Cherie and Cloé, cheek rubbing them, and moves them off to play*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I suppose I could get info on the PAX. I might be able to find out what the other side knows about the Serpent people’s movements.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I could seduce the other Erevis and get her to spill her secrets.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Really, Xan?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I suppose some of us could go to the PAX and learn some things.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Wouldn't that Thena be the one to ask about such things?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan winks and laughs at his amazing(not really) joke.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Asking them would not hurt
<DeathStar> <Celes> And catch up on information. <Erevis> *eyes Xanatos* Hm. I will leave that to you
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *pats Xanatos* I will also go to the PAX.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...you always call my bluff!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Perhaps you shouldn't lie in front of her?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<Xanatos> <Xan> Because it's fun.
<DeathStar> 6* While Chelsea, Simon, Lana and so on work on Sparkling on the great Shapeshifter Detection Device, on the PAX, taking place a little before those on Geyze arrive, so we can check in on this team, Lorelei has called in Durt while the others are in Katrina's bar
<DeathStar> *Katrina and Terra are wearing cute outfits for special drinks day due to it being the last week before finals*
<DeathStar> *serving half-off drinks and food*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt steps in to whatever room Lore told him to go to, closing the door behind him. 1"You called?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime taps her chin**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *slurps a milkshake*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I have been looking into things since Lenny talked with Valen. While I did not hear the entire conversation, I did hear parts of it.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Which has been making me go back through files since we began in 639.
<Seraphna> **Thena eats a giant plate of fish**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And? 6He crosses his arms, having only lame human ears
<Seraphna> **Kaelan is also drinking a shake**
<Alicia> * Charlotte is also drinking a shake. Because it's fashionable.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> There is a chance we have a spy or worse on the group. When we were in Cartel space, this person went out of sight a few times. And over the past few months. We might should keep an eye on them.
<DeathStar> *Rachael steps in*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Whew. *sits down on a stool next to Zegretta
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stands in his room in front of a holoboard with pictures of everyone on the team and some random other people and eyes them with a scowl.
<DeathStar> *Katrina poses* For 1,000 gil I can give you the special smile*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...uhhh... who are we keeping an eye on?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Seriously, Valen, what's up with you?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> A spy huh? 6He rubs his chin. 1"Not many that would spy on us. That narrows it down a bit.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei shows the dates and the person*
<Xanatos> (Valen is in HIS room)
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps her tails around Zegretta**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *stands up and moves to take a look*
<Alicia> (Oh. Oops.)
<Xanatos> (:P)
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves forward to look at the dates and the person.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Part of me hopes it's a God. Because the spy thing makes no sense, right? But how they are managing to hide the God from us is concerning.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Moira... thanks for the warm welcome."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But they have vanished at times when the God ping has been felt.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen huffs in annoyance and closes out the program then steps out, moving to find something to eat.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And when incidents have occurred as far back as then
<Jackieness> <Moira> "No problem."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin watches some shuttles move in and out, glancing at his datapad occasionally.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It'd have to be a God. That or one of those shape shifters. How many of the remaining gods learned to hide themselves?
<Seraphna> Thena> Fish plate complete! Now for fish ice cream!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...why."
<Seraphna> Thena> Cuz it’s FISH.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But... fish ice cream?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Famfrit special! Right Katrina?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What does that have to do with being a Famfrit?!"
<Alicia> * Terra looks between Thena and Katrina with a "Seriously?" look
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What if they hop around as soon as a ping happens and hop back in?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen walks in Kat's place finally and sits down by Rachael and the others.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *muses* Only a powerful God could hide themselves. I think maybe Gartareh.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But it could be ....
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hey Valen."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Amazo, perhaps, but I think this isn't his style
<Seraphna> Thena> **paws and wiggles her cat ears**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I guess that leaves us to the important question. What do you want to do about it?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm a famfrit... well.. half."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Watch for now. If we attacked her and we're wrong, who knows what will happen
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Would *you* eat fish ice cream?"
<Seraphna> Thena> And you’ve never had fish ice cream!?
<DeathStar> *Rachael watches them, while Zegretta snuggles Kaelan and Ren snoozes on Char's lap*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hey. Hey. 6* He orders a drink and a cheese sandwich.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei closes the file*
<Seraphna> Thena> Two please Ms. Kitty Kat!
<DeathStar> *Katrina gets Valen's orders and offers a smile (sparkle)*
<DeathStar> *then gets Thena one (sparkle)*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If it's Amazo, are they going to be a threat? If it's Gartareh, I assume we worry about the worse.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...you are crazy!"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Both are pretty bad. Amazo is stupid strong if I remember right.
<DeathStar> *she walks with him to the bar8
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But he is also kind of stupif
<DeathStar> *stupid
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, basically, it's just Thena obsessed with fish. Have some Dark Candy." *hands Moira a stick of licorice*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Who's to say he hasn't learned a new trick or two?
<DeathStar> *right as the group arrives in the bar, Taiga busts into the bar*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Everyone!!!
<Seraphna> **Thena hugs and offers some to Moira**
<DeathStar> *Taiga points, dark circles under her eyes*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei studies Taiga suspiciously*
<DeathStar> *then looks normal*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> FOLLOW ME!!!
<DeathStar> *she flails*
<Seraphna> **Si slowly rises up behind Taiga**
<DeathStar> *she turns and bounces into Si*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *staggers comically*
<Seraphna> **Si fuuus** Not sleeping again are we?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Follow me! *bouces into Si*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...but my food
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *makes a fox whine*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You can take it with you if you want
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Probably should entertain her self destructive tendencies
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yay! *poses at Durt*
<Seraphna> **Si carries her** Where to naughty?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *grabs her shake and the offered licorice and heads to go after taiga*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The Aquarius
<DeathStar> *huffs at Si*
<Alicia> * Charlotte follows, carrying Ren
<DeathStar> *Ren rides on Charlotte, all fluffy*
<Seraphna> **Si carries her** Nap after this.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mrrrr
<Xanatos> <Valen> I guess I missed something? Taiga's acting weird.
<DeathStar> *Rachael shrugs*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Seems like normal Taiga to me.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She's probably just tired."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei comes along and they reach the hanger where Airym has a robotic looking Erica*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hence normal.
<DeathStar> *hooked into the Aquarius computer*
<DeathStar> *Yuki stares and looks worried*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is a temporary solution we have made!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Greetings."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Until we can find Erica's real body
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So you gave her a robot body.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It is patterned after the mechanics of my original chassis."
<Alicia> * Michiru wanders up, followed by Hotaru.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The plan is to hopefully download her consciousness into the body. For periods. She'll have to return to the computer after 7-8 hours. Since hr real body might somehow still be in the ship.
<DeathStar> *Taiga points and does a haughty laugh*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ha ha ha. Are we not great?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I approve of the decision to go with less boob. Made the bot too top heavy.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How is her body ... in the ship?
<Alicia> * Charlotte and Michiru both shrug
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Airym, Pepper, flip the switch!
<Xanatos> <Valen> ....is...is this just denial after a sad death?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Possibly.
<DeathStar> *Yuki glares*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Dragoon bond?"
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper motions for Airym to do the job, being here as gopher support.
<Xanatos> <Valen> S-Sorry Yuki.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "the hypothesis is that her bodyw as effectively digitized a sinformation." *turns and works on a consoel*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "This is totally weird."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> She is there and she tells you that ... *she goes into various colorful captainy words*
<Seraphna> Cookie> It's not exactly outside of what we know.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Believe me, if she had died, she'd know."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Yeah, losing a bonded partner is VERY apparent. I know from experience.
<DeathStar> *Mireille watches, hands together as the power flickers and the body powers up*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'm sorry you had to go through that..."
<DeathStar> *all frankenstein like*
<DeathStar> *Taiga leans forward*
<Sara> * The body jerks, uncertainly
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am fairly certain that she will not go insane and attempt to murder all organics."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Wait, what?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Heartening!"
<Seraphna> Cookie> Also not out of our realm of experience.
<DeathStar> *Ren messages Kaori and takes a picture*
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans forward* Eri?
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...I don't like this
<Jackieness> <Airym> "That was a joke... or is the punchline thejoke?"
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Come'on Cap-Tin, show us some moves. 6* She hoots
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What part don't you like?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There is only a 5% chance she will do that due to it not being her body and stuff like that
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's okay, if she does we just... umm... upload a virus? That's what they do in the movies.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Something about this feels familiar somehow."
<Sara> * The body moves, shakily
<DeathStar> *Yuki offers her hand to help Robo Erica up*
<Sara> * Kaori sends a message back: "That looks like the start of a horror movie in the making, to me"
<Seraphna> Thena> She's twitching!
<DeathStar> *Taiga has fallen asleep during all this*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So this is, uh, suppose to give us more time to find the real body of the Captain
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well unless someone programmed that body as a super weapon, the group here can handle it if it goes rogue.
<Sara> * The body stands, then immediately falls over forward
<Seraphna> Thena> Well if she went insane, we are probably safe for a bit.
<Alicia> * Hotaru sighs
<DeathStar> *Yuki rushes to try to support Erica*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Eek!
<Seraphna> Si> Taiga, did you add the boob cannons?
<DeathStar> *Taiga's tail swish in a way that say "maybe"*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> We're going to call her Cap-Tin E. I've decided. Everyone start saying it.
<Seraphna> Si> And the rocket punch?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What happens if that bodies damaged before it can re upload to the ship?
<DeathStar> *other tails swish yes*
<Seraphna> Si> And the Bluetooth?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Does she need so many weapons?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No. no she does not
<DeathStar> *Yuki helps Cap-Tin E to a seat*
<Seraphna> Si> Bluetooth is for headphones and wireless controllers.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Erica. It's me.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yuki
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Take all the time in the world to adjust.
<Seraphna> Si> ...I wonder if she gets holonet...
<Jackieness> <Airym> "In truth, she is actually unarmed."
<Sara> * The body is still shaky
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... is she even in the robot yet?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ....Seems no one wants to consider that. 6He glances at Yuki. 1"Better hope she's never put in that situation
<DeathStar> *Yuki holds the hand* <Rachael> Maybe we should give them time
<DeathStar> *she moves to leave the Aquarius where Erevis and the others are standing about*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *puts Xanatos in a suit*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei pats the robot and Yuki, then bows and steps out to study the Geyze team*
<Seraphna> Jaime> A-Are we supposed to be formal?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Does it matter?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...this is for the seduction that I was joking about!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> When seducing, one must look their best
<DeathStar> *she tries to comb his hair, eyeing it, then tries more*
<Alicia> * Kyouki stays silent.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What the hell?
<Xanatos> <Xan> I told you I need a haircut.
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts her outfit into a lovely green dress with iron-colored trimmings**
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...honestly everyone is losing their goddamn minds.
<DeathStar> *Erevis seems amused by all this* Now remember when you try, just think of me. *doing a play of think of England*
<Alicia> <Asha> "It's not easy to stay calm sometimes."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Seem's the Zhenmei clan is here for something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *nods to the others* Hello there. We came to speak to you all. But we were told you were here
<Seraphna> Jaime> I could probably handle it myself... but now I want to see this.
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes Jaime at that*
<Seraphna> **Jaime gives her an innocent look**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods to Asha* Hello, Asha Syao
<Alicia> <Asha> "You already know me?"
<DeathStar> *Yuki can be seen trying to teach Erica how to walk*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was not aware your name was Asha Syao
<DeathStar> *she tilts her head at Asha*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Is it important?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. *muses* How did I miss this one
<DeathStar> *she puts a hand under her chin*
<Seraphna> **Jaime rubs the back of her head**
<Alicia> <Asha> "This one?" *tilts her head*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Last names are overrated. Because then you remember your wife doesn't share your last name and you just....not like cry or anything.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Oh, so sad."
<Seraphna> Jaime> You could be Xanatos Zhenmei, you know.
<DeathStar> *Erevis smiles, all flirty* Would you like me to become Erevis Durran Zhenmei?
<Seraphna> **Jaime gasps**
<Xanatos> <Xan> And ruin my abusive dead father's good name?! 6* He pauses and smirks at Erevis, looking amused now.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I mean. That's pretty nice.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Grandpa Durran was a jerk huh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I will do it. *it seems to her that Zhenmei isn't really Megumi's name anymore but her's*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I don't have to be Kyouki Durran Zhenmei, do I?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> You could be. Momma Kyo.
<DeathStar> *Erevis laughs* It is a thing for me and Xanatos. *takes his hand* I would not expect Athena or Isis or anyone to take Durran if they did not want to. Or Lenneth
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "When you put it like that..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... Lenneth is Dad's blood too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Zhenmei has just been tied to the Susien Empire for so long
<DeathStar> *Suisen
<Seraphna> Jaime> That reminds me. Daddy, you have to have a day with me and Lenneth.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei studies Asha for so long, then peers at the other kids*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh? Give me a date and I'm there.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What? She's one of us too?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So what did you guys want with us again?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes. Asha Syao. *brings up an information file she has on her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh, we're hunting Shapeshifters.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Sorry, but I don't remember any of you?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *nods* Come, let us go to the meeting room. *She turns to watch Yuki practically moving Robo Erica*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't know you either, don't worry. 6* He says to Asha.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I do not think there is anything left to be done here.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. And we can share information there.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sounds good.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Alright. I do want to know how you know my name, though."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's a long story.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Sounds like a plan.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei moves them to an empty moving room, explaining about the Angel and who the kids are to her as they arrive.*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Weird though..."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei takes a seat; Erevis uses the time to also catch Lorelei and the others up on their end*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Why am I the only one born on Geyze?"
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats in.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Might not be. I bet we haven't located everyone still.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Actually I beleive Gemane was born there, too
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Or on Kumen
<Alicia> <Asha> "Gemane?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hmm... one of the two.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> A strange Maka that seems to mainly keep to herself.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **just smiles**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt takes a seat, tossing his feet up on something
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That Mercy girl seemed to be born far away
<Seraphna> Kaelan> And she got all her memories unlike the rest of us.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So some of us were scattered pretty far. And Cersei was with the Templars
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That or something gave them to her
<Alicia> <Asha> "I guess it makes sense if you even have Templars in your number."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I was born here on the PAX>"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Most of us were
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I wonder if that was a coincidence
<Alicia> <Asha> "I've never been one to overthink things."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Zeg and I were with a merchant family till an accident brought us here. Along with Zeal.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Probably not.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. *she muses* Anyway. *she peers at Xanatos* So you believe the Shapeshifters are guiding things toward war. And want to know more about them. Well, that my be the case. But, I think there's also other enemies that aren't with the Serpents or the Shapeshifters.
<DeathStar> *she frowns*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *muses*
<Seraphna> Jaime> One of those Gods did attack on Geyze during the Gift. And we have Autumn.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "But Autumn has left now."
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Yeah... **she pouts**
<ChadWinters> <Id> Lorelei is probably right. There are definetly a few outside groups that seem to be moving on their own. Most likely having noticed the Serpents movements and are planning their own plot
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The Dark Ones I think are doing their own thing. Maybe someone gave them the idea, but they definitely acting on their own agenda. Maybe someone gave them the idea
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think they are the biggest problem. <Erevis> Maybe, but they are still working toward the goals of the Serpent Group
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Just because they aren't working with them, doesn't mean their actions are helping towards their goal
<ChadWinters> *aren't*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei lets out a breath* When are you all planning to take the PAX back?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I get the strangest feeling that the Dark Ones and the Gods never exactly saw eye to eye. '
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "...what?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *She eyes Kyouki* When is Erevis going to take her ship back
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Plant a few seeds here and there to various groups that crave power. Promise the Tsiv something. Give the Dark Ones the hint to make a move. Use the shapeshifters to sow chaos here and there.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **frowns and looks at at her hand**
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks over at Kaelan at that
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I can see it."
<DeathStar> *Erevis frowns, listening to Durt, thinking he is right, and Kaelan, then frowns at Lorelei* I am not ready. <Lorelei> ... hmph
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's a scattered memory, I think a combination of what I am now and my old memories.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Would trying to take the ship back during all of this not be a bad idea? Chaos on the PAX, the seat of power through the galaxy could cause many allies to think twice about remaining here
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And leaving it in a fake leader's hand be better?
<Seraphna> Thena> Gotta prepare. Alternate Grandma has the power of like, 4 or 5 progenitors.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I don't remember anything about my old life. I don't think it really matters that much, though?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Maybe it's unrelated but Chad has been trying to hunt down someone causing his family trouble. They could also be working on some of these other things.
<ChadWinters> <Id> All I am saying is if you make a move, then you sohuld make it quickly and efficiently and make sure other members of the PAX alliance are preapred for it. Some may have grown accustomed to the Empresses ways
<Xanatos> <Xan> At leas that's been my theory, that they're why we've had so many issues on Geyze.
<Seraphna> **Jaime has busied herself with a datapad**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. <Lorelei> Taiga claimed, once, that she had ideas about a person messing with clones and it might be tied to Chad, but I'm not sure how trustworthy she is right now
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah, this isn't the time to cause additional mayhem."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So you think that grumpy guys thing might be a connecting thread?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So... what do we do?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We'd have to bring Taiga here
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and vanishes, then returns with Taiga**
<DeathStar> *Taiga is drooling*
<DeathStar> *asleep*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well maybe, maybe not. Chad felt like all of the stuff he was doing was done to get him 'off the board'...his words.
<Xanatos> <Xan> That would imply greater aspirations, goals, plans, whatever.
<Seraphna> Thena> Si seemed upset when I took her. **she whispers**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> should we...wake her?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hasn't she went a long time without sleep to make that robot Erica?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> She's here.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She's pretty tired."
<Seraphna> **Thena muses** Can bring her back later.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Wake her up. She can handle it.
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs into human form and eyes her mom*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Someone here has a healing power. Best use it.
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks, but shrugs and starts poking her**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I don't think healing replaces sleep...
<Seraphna> Alita> Mine can, actually.
<DeathStar> *Ren then pulls her mom's tail. Taiga jerks awake* Keep the jello aawwaaaay
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... what?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Hmm..."
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes them through half-lidded eyes*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We need to know about Chad's creepo issues.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Huhhh? Oh. Yeah. He told me to stay out of his affairs
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So I did
<Seraphna> Jaime> After you found out what?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... oh yeah, lets not investigate suspicious people."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But I keep coming across things that I don't ike
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And if you are a suspicious person points to him
<Alicia> <Asha> "People are like that." *sighs*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I guess we tie up Chad now.
<DeathStar> *Taiga yawns* He's innocent
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is he really, though?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Good luck finding him Jaime.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But one, I came across a school
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh that's easy actually.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Where someone wanted to frame Cedarton. And they were doing experiments with high schooler agents that would have grown up in a year or two with Weapon DNA and other stuff. Basically brainwashing them and seeing how they reacted and I was glancing t it over. It was just rest runs and seeing how they did with it, you know, the place wasn't meant to do anything too meaningful
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If it got results, great, but it was mainly a testing ground with some kids that could be used in the future
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh yeah...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... ugh, that place."
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena became class president.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Then go tie him up. 6He looks at Taiga.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It was mainly using Chain's weapon formula, that the person got their hands on somehow , which should tell you how far they have breached his stuff, and seeing how it worked on normal people
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Noire already has that position."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Probably out there it's been being used proeprly
<DeathStar> *chad
<Seraphna> Thena> I am class Empress then.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Then there's the other incident where I got impaled.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Don't make me take the position of Class Goddess."
<Seraphna> Jaime> What WERE you doing there exactly?
<ChadWinters> <Id> She was following up on information.
<Seraphna> Thena> I have already relegated you to Class Servant of Empress.
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "You don't have that authority."
<ChadWinters> <Id> It was that incident that Chad had asked her to stop looking into anything that involved him.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I wanted to look into Theau. *she looks tight lipped*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway, that, plus the Aya kid stuff
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It looks to me that someoen is making ready to do a private war with Chad and dragging us into it
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why do I have the weird feeling people are holding too much to their chest again and something perfectly obvious is happening that we'd spot if all info was shared?
<Alicia> <Asha> "I think I understood most of that."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's a weird feeling?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga smiles* Then don't be close to him
<Seraphna> Jaime> Actually it's way too common.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Now you understand."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *peers at Jaime* the information she is holding is not related to the case.
<DeathStar> *is apparently reading Taiga's mind a little*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I was more referring to Chad having his secret wars again. For like the third time.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *shrugs* that's all I got.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "People have secrets."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mainly because I haven't been actively looking into it
<Alicia> <Asha> "... anyway."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "OK...I'm... I'm just going to go... ebcause all this conspiray stuff is making my head hurt.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, I think we should adjourn.
<DeathStar> *she rises*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Cool, time to make the sexy smulder eyes.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes, I was promised entertainment.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei sighs and riseS* I am not satisfied, but at least we are sharing information. The Dark Ones are likely being played by some outside force, Chad is having someone target him - again, the shapeshifters are causing the Geyze Alliance to tear itself apart
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And it seems no one will challenge the Empress
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
<DeathStar> *eyes Lorelei darkly*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If only someone could take control of the Dark Ones."
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks at Lorelei and muses**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Calm your tails.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Perhaps you should stop talking about challenging the Empress."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, could always just start throwing the clan at her one at a time until she's weakened
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Fair enough. I just feel that the PAX would be useful
<DeathStar> *Lorelei holds up her hands and turns to Asha*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Come with me and I will tell you about Tareh if you are interested
<DeathStar> *she offers Asha some time*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Maybe it'll make all this make more sense?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods and leads her outside*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen looks around suspiciously for a second then skulks off.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Valen is acting weird
<DeathStar> *she notes to Moira*
<DeathStar> *Taiga is asleep agian*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs** Should I make with the tentacles?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is not wrong
<Seraphna> **Thena brings Taiga back**
<DeathStar> *to Xanatos* But .... I am not ready
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ever since that time."
<DeathStar> *she rises and moves to step out and go to Katrina's bar*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Then perhaps it's time to get ready.
<Xanatos> <Xan> It's okay, I'll be here when you are.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Should I be worried for my mother's chasity.
<DeathStar> *she moves to follow Thena*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Likewise."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...Weird... but nto Valen weird."
<Jackieness> not
<DeathStar> *Erevis smiles at them*
<DeathStar> -Epilogue 1-
<Seraphna> Thena> Huh? No more than usual.
<DeathStar> *Sparkling is tied up to a table for experiments - by Melodie*
<DeathStar> *Mélodie pulls out Chelsea's tools when Chelsea and Simon aren't looking and holds them over Sparkling*
<DeathStar> *during all this Lana finds a card*
<DeathStar> *right next to her*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmmm?" *picks up the card*
<DeathStar> *it has a dark look to it and reads: Do you want to know the secret about us? If so, go to this location alone. Some coordinates to input into a teleporter are given*
<DeathStar> *it has a dark shape on the card*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...not suspicious at all."
<DeathStar> *the card burns away*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...not creepy at all..."
<DeathStar> *leaving Lana a chill, as if someone was behind her*
<DeathStar> *looming*
<DeathStar> *but there is only Mélodie doing experiments on Sparkling*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *glances back and then snaps back to the present* "Hey, cut that out... I mena, don't cut her!"
<DeathStar> *Melodie scampers off*
<DeathStar> -Epilogue 2-
<DeathStar> *The Empress watches the cameras on the ship, head propped up and eyes Erevis sitting in the bar, talking to them and muses*
<DeathStar> <Empress> .... *she motions at Syiean* I wonder if she is beginning to show some spine, or will someone else have to step up. *she rises and moves to peer out at space*
<DeathStar> -END-
* ChadWinters has left #TAW-Session466
