<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.6.9
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar's team, including Chelsea, Cypher, and Bonnie, walk through the darkness, the summer heat cooling off a bit at night. Asarar still walking through in her trench coat look, though Cypher has put her's up, thogh she usually has it on, too
<DeathStar> *switching it out for summer wear*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright everyone
<Xanatos> 6* Logan walks along in a black tanktop, dark washed jeans, and black boots. He's grown his mowhawk manbun thing out but kept the sides shaved so now it's some weird mohawk ponytail thing.
<Seraphna> **Luci peers around** Why is this planet so hot anyway?
<DeathStar> *she checks her map* We should be close
<Xanatos> <Logan> It's closer to their star.
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *rides Chelsea's shoulder, in cat form, swatting at bugs*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Geyze and Kumen are furthest but Yggdrasil somehow provides us our own light and tempature like we used to have. ... somehow
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...you mean as in actually having a star rather than giant glowing tree?"
<Seraphna> Luci> Well clearly all worlds should have trees instead fo suns. Who do we speak to about that one?
<DeathStar> *they soon find themselves in what appears to be a massive backyard, but in an area that looks overgrown a bit*
<DeathStar> *there seems to be a creepy cemetary here*
<DeathStar> *with in the distance a building with the lights on*
<DeathStar> *the cemetary has a light fog rolling through it and it looks extensive. Some of these graves seem to go back hundreds of years and look worn down. There's even some with massive doors to go inside*
<Seraphna> Luci> Think there's Vampires here? Or Ghouls? Or... Republicans?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Huh?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Probably just an edgelord or two.
<Sara> <Chelsea> What's a Republican?
<DeathStar> *Cypher has to look up that reference* Apparently a party in power a few hundred years ago on this planet
<Sara> <Chelsea> Luci, you've gotten weird.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Full on crypts... not well-tended."
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes a few of the dates* A few of these dates do not match the strange ga-lac-tic dating they have. 1800 something
<DeathStar> <Cypher> One here is 2000 somthing
<Sara> <Chelsea> Must be real old, huh?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Maybe those families decided not to follow the new standard once it became official. Stubborn.
<DeathStar> *Asarar moves to the newer parts of the cemetary, where the name Cran begins to appear*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Probably because the burial sites predate the galactic standard."
<DeathStar> *soon they pass a burial site for a Alexander Cran in the newer section, who knows which version, and then two Alighieris*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright here we go
<DeathStar> *Asarar gets the tools out* A shame Max is busy watching his holovids
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We're seriously digging bodies up
<Jackieness> <Kira> "No, we're exhuming."
<DeathStar> *Cypher rubs her face*
<DeathStar> *then looks at Chelsea as if to say: What did I say?*
<Sara> * Chelsea frowns
<Xanatos> 6* Logan takes a tool.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Which one?
<Seraphna> Luci> I just prefer someone with muscle guard the kids while we're out.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We should probably check both of them.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she begins to exhume the two clone children, as Kira puts it*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I have reason to believe that maybe there is no bodies, or Chad did it
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You think Chad is going around attacking his own family?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Alright. 6* He helps her.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hmmmm..." *starts walking, looking at the other Cran family graves for signs of recent disturbance*
<DeathStar> *Kira would see that the famous Cran lineage goes back many centuries*
<DeathStar> *but there is one disturbance to one grave*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Over here. This older one has been disturbed."
<DeathStar> *it seems to be one of the Alexander Cran one or the clone one that Angela liked, who knows*
<Seraphna> Luci> That's the dude they can't seem to keep track of right?
<DeathStar> *the others soon reach two buried caskets, but there is no bodies inside it, just what looks like a container with some ashes. Grabbing some samples, Asarar and Cypher have Logan rehelp them rebury it, looking dirty* <Asarar> I guess we need an expert to check this... if there's anything left to check
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *looks unhappy*
<Seraphna> Luci> We got one of those or do we need to take these somewhere?
<DeathStar> *Bonnie turns into human form and checks the ground at the disturbed site* Hm. Most likely this grave might have been touched, too
<Xanatos> <Logan> I don't think any of us know about biology. 6* He wipes sweat from his forehead.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *glances at chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't suppose you have any skill points in biology
<Seraphna> Luci> We get skill points now!?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Worry about the labwork later, start digging at this one."
<DeathStar> *Asarar grumbles at Kira being a slave labor and digs at the other grave*
<Seraphna> **Luci shrugs and forms a huge shovel blade and starts digiging for them**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Now don't grumble. We have a payday comign if we deliver."
<Xanatos> 6* Logan gives a thumbs up to Luci, leaning against his shovel to rest a bit.
<DeathStar> *after a long while they get inside and Cypher throws open the casket. The body seems gone and there's just a headless toy inside*
* MobileAri has joined #TAW-Session469
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...not creepy at all."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Is this supposed to also be for a child?
<DeathStar> *Bonnie holds up the headless lion* I think this person has a thing against cats
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No. The age states it's a man. Ithink it's a clone of Cran
<DeathStar> *Cypher pockets the toy - slowly*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Still, the toy must have some symbolic meaning."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I'll keep it on me for now. *she makes sure to bag it*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Alright. Lets take our ashes and go.
<Seraphna> Luci> So we found a man in the wrong grave and a creepy headless toy.
<Sara> <Chelsea> It could have been worse...
<Seraphna> Luci> We are truly the best investigators.
<DeathStar> *Cypher nods to Chelsea*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We've just gathered some physcal evidence. Now we need to turn it into data points."
<DeathStar> Location: Cheryl's Mansion
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, Lemon is throwing a birthday party and has invited a few people to it. Adeline is standing there, deadpanning as Lemon is making a fuss and Adeline has a hand on her brother's head, since it's for her and her twin - though their ages would make it hard to believe
<DeathStar> *Cheryl sips a drink, sitting in a chair with the presents as Wade opens his presents, quiet and happy*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane controls a drone that's flying around taking pictures.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You really do like those things. *Ren hops and tries to swat at the thing, in her fox form, then switches back, now having a white stripe in her hair*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. Congrats, Adeline. *Yuki is there, too, since Lemon is her Aunt, having brought Robo Erica*
<Seraphna> **Angela sits with Cheryl, smiling** Congrats you two.
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuu!
<Seraphna> *Si has a blue stripe in her hair and seems quite pleased with herself. This makes her look even more like Angela*
<Alicia> * Charlotte blinks at the hair-stripe before hugging Ren, then looking to Adeline. "Congrats!"
<DeathStar> *Ren wiggles her fingers at Charlotte*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles, sliding a present over to her friend**
<Xanatos> 6* Kane takes pictures of Adeline with an amused look on his face.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias slides in to the room with a crudely wrapped box and hands it to Adeline. 1"Sorry for being late. I had to trade several things to pay for your gift."
<Seraphna> Angela> ...What did you do with your salary?
<DeathStar> *Adeline takes the present from Jaime, then one from Dias, eyeing him slowly* Ah. ... thanks
<Seraphna> Angela> No I don't think I want to know.
<DeathStar> *she looks baffled, for once, which is hard to do with her*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I get paid?
<DeathStar> *Yuki holds Erica's hand*
<Seraphna> **Angela just stares at him**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... oh wow."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ...does Stacey steal your money
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *is also there* "Maybe he can use this as a campaign strategy. The president that refuses a paycheck."
<Seraphna> Angela> Knowing her she's probably putting it into an account somewhere so he doesn't waste it all on arenas and gym equipment.
<DeathStar> <Adeling> Knowing her, it's hazard pay
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Nah, she wouldn't steal from me.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> She can just have it.
<Sara> * The Robo-Erica eyes Dias.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer plops down a present and moves over to hug Lemon**
<DeathStar> *Adeline turns to Kane* Now that I am 17 and about to graduate college early, I am thinking about getting my own apartment on the PAX since I am an "adult" there. But I would like your permission. Since you freak out
<DeathStar> *Lemon pats her head*
<DeathStar> *Wade runs around with one of his toys and speaks one of his first words* Toy
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses, arching a brow.
<DeathStar> *Adeline blinks at Wade*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Oooh, nest egg leaving. 6He reaches behind his back and pulls out some popcorn, munching on it
<Xanatos> 6* Kane kneels in front of Wade and smiles at him, rubbing the top of his head.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Good place to start looking for a career. We've got a lot of R&D labs and such looking for girls like her. Oh my was that his first word?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> His second word.
<DeathStar> *She nods*
<DeathStar> *At that moment, the alarms go off. Lemon brings up and she sees the Asarar team in the cemetary*
<DeathStar> *having tripped an alarm out there*
<Seraphna> Angela> Huh, looks like those Cypher people are getting rusty.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane goes to respond to Adeline, then pauses and looks tot he screen.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Are they grave robbing?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It seems so.
<Seraphna> Angela> The Cran Family Graveyard? **looks at Cheryl** Who would want to dig up those bones?
<DeathStar> *Adeline peers at Erica, since she knows them*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are they trying to clone someone?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I barely go out there
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *she studies where they are* They seem to be in the newer area meant for us
<Seraphna> Angela> Mm, the Cypher group is work for hire. So someone else would be paying them.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Shall I contact them and ask them politely to leave?
<Seraphna> Angela> Can't see much harm in what they're doing, so may as well try the polite way?
<Seraphna> **Tabetha hops up from the base area, blinking at the alarm and sliding Adeline a present**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl stands up* I'll deal with them. *she grabs Angela and moves to do so*
<Seraphna> **Angela squeaks and moves to go with her**
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Well anyway, happy birthday sweetie.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *suddenly looks up* Everyone... out of this room now. *She grabs the present from Tabetha, then grabs Wade and moves to go*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Eh?
<DeathStar> 5
<Xanatos> <Kane> ... OUT NOW
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks but doesn't q1uestion it, Sera's people also move**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *moves out*
<DeathStar> *Lemon and Cheryl move*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane turns and grabs Lemon's hand to run after Adeline
<ChadWinters> 6Dias eyes Adeline then sniffs the air, grabbing whoever's close and yanks them out with himself
<DeathStar> 2
<Seraphna> **Tabetha TKs any laggers**
<DeathStar> *Yuki grabs at Erica and moves to go*
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs Ren and runs
<DeathStar> *a large crashing through the roof, the second floor, and down into the living room, kicking up dust and debris, even as the house shield slows it down and makes the damage lessen. Standing there is a Venerator Intelligence, looking like Venerator but clearly more machine than man. It does an attack to kick up damage, reaching for people*
<DeathStar> *damage - smoke
<Seraphna> **Jaime doesn't hesitate to turn the rubble in on the VI, stabbing at it with the material of the mansion**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias shifts on the floor, and enters the smoke moving to intercept the VI's grab
<DeathStar> *Dias is snatched up as one of the people and it reaches for another person*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and hurls a fireball at it**
<DeathStar> *even as Si melts some of Venerator's face*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane tries to gauge if it's reaching for anyone in particular.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pulls his hand back and swings for the melt's Ven face
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *morphs into Noire and then forms her dark sword, leaping to slash and destroy the arms*
<DeathStar> *it lokos to be trying to snatch: Adeline, or Charlotte, or Yuki, or Cheryl, or Ren*
<Alicia> * Charlotte keeps away from the Venerator robot, despite her obvious anger at seeing it.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Go for it's core! **she tries to crush the arm with Goddess TK**
<DeathStar> *it snatches Yuki, even as it's head clangs*
<DeathStar> *Tabetha and Noire destroy it's right arm*
<DeathStar> *it falling otno the ground*
<DeathStar> *the monster turns and begins to walk off*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias then brings both his arms back and swings them inwards towards the robot's head, aiming to crush it.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer aims her hand and lances Spirit energy at it's back*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Let ... me... go *she snarls*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane send the drone forward, looking for some sort of port it can jack into so Kane can access it's internals to shut it down.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *shifts, dismissing her sword and then lashing out with tentacles to try to wrestle the thing to the ground*
<Alicia> * Charlotte points at the robot, her robotic drones moving in to attack, firing upon it. "Don't you just grab people and leave!"
<DeathStar> *the head smash slows it down the others allow it to slow down enough for Kane to shut down. It falls over*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias lands on his feet and reaches out for Yuki to help her up.
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around, checking on people, Adeline and Wade first**
<Sara> <Robo-Erica> Ugly thing.
<DeathStar> *Yuki hops away even as it turns back into a clone and the Venerator Intelligence turns back into nanomachines and slides away from the body and away*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Extremely."
<Seraphna> Angela> That attack was directed on top of where we were... they knew where to go?
<Seraphna> **Jaime stomps the floor and tries to swallow crush some of the nanonmachines as they flee with rock movements**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That was too ugly to be an attack meant to really get anyone
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I'm sure the floor plans are common knowledge at this point.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They had to know here was too many of us
<Seraphna> Angela> A distraction?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Maybe it eas a stupid trap set up in the graveyard."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. Maybe.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well. *arms crossed* I am defintely interested now in that graveyard stuff. Erica, tomorrow we're going to visit your friends
<Seraphna> Angela> And the roof is trashed AGAIN. We have to have the world's best insurance on this place.
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes the debris filled living room*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well. We do have a lot of money...
<DeathStar> <Lemon> But it's not limitless...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We're going to have to deal with VI."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sorry they crashed your party Addy...
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *smiles softly* It's okay.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> This was the best birthday I've been to in awhile!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Also invest into some anti-grey goo defenses... because seriously."
<DeathStar> *Adeline deadpans, then TK slams Dias out the front door hard enough to break it*
<DeathStar> *before picking up Wade*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias leaves a Dias shaped hole in it
<Seraphna> Angela> Now it's the best party I've been to.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Thanks Adeline. You did what I wanted to."
<Seraphna> **Jaime hands Wade a toy**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Sadly, it did no damage
<Seraphna> Angela> He'd have to have a brain to get brain damage unfortunately.
<Jackieness> noi "Tell me... was Dias even invited in the first place... or does hs just show up?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can't hurt that which has no pain. Besides, I thoguht he left Earth to go play with X
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess he lost
<Seraphna> Angela> Wait... yeah, why was he here?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl shrugs her shoulders*
<Xanatos> <Kane> We can discuss specifics, but I'm inclined to say yes. 6* He says to Adeline now. Still eyeing the rubble.
<DeathStar> *Adeline pauses, then nods*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Another pro, we have less shuttle crashing into our place.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 10-641.6.10
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Asarar walks with her team through the Academy. Her shades on as she looks tired, having pulled an all nighty*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie snoozes on Chelsea's head in kitty form*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Surely someone here can help us
<DeathStar> *Cypher eyes the bagged headless lion toy*
<Xanatos> <Logan> They've got than big brained girl. Starts with.....a C? Not wait, L. L something.
<Seraphna> Luci> **sips a drink from her nearby bar** I think they have some kinda head honcho to ask. And I think you mean Lana.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Right.
<Seraphna> **Talia peeks out of a building and looks back and forth, passing Luci a pouch that she pockets in a completely unsuspicious manner**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Lana's a head honcho? We should congratulate her on the promotion.
<Seraphna> Luci> No I mean the big brain. The head honcho is the puppy lady.
<Seraphna> Luci> Umi? Lumi?
<DeathStar> *Asarar studies the Academy, watching and when she sees Lana, moves along with Chelsea, using Chelsea since Lana knows her*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hello
<Seraphna> Luci> Moon Moon?
<Alicia> * Asha eyes Luci as they pass
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Huh? Ah, hi."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Chelsea here needs a favor
<Alicia> * Mouthing the words "Moon Moon", somehow getting the idea it's an insult
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *paws at Asha*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *Glances around* Can you, or anyone else smart. *She glances around, looking to see if Nicolette or any of the bookworms are around, help me us with this
<Jackieness> <Lana> "A favor? What sort of favor?"
<DeathStar> *she holds up ashes* I need you to anaylze this
<Sara> <Chelsea> It's a bit of a mummy favor. *she notes dryly*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I got that
<Jackieness> <Lana> "A bag of ashes? ...wait... did you desecrate someone's urn?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ....
<DeathStar> *gives a creepy look*
<Seraphna> Luci> Only slightly.
<Sara> * Chelsea whistles innocently
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *then smiles* Of course not
<DeathStar> *pats her back and laughs*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *waves a hand* "I'm not gong to judge, and yes, I totally can."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Hey Lana, did you want to look ov-oh, you have company..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hello. *she nods to Nicolette*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "...a lot of company."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *holds upa finger* "They need some scince done."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Unless you have magic that can do it
<Xanatos> 6* Logan pulls out a package with a nozzel and begins to suck something out of the package.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Science? Not like... magicience?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> Anyone want some energy gel? I'm going to pass out if I don't get something in me. 6* He offers out the pack to everyone else.
<DeathStar> *in the background, Cheryl appears with her team, which can be named later, looking for the Asarar group, beginning to hold up pictures*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I can fallback to magic if science fails me."
<DeathStar> *Bonnie to nom on the gel*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...we're about to be made."
<DeathStar> *Asarar lowers her glasses* ... rm
<Alicia> <Asha> "What did you do?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Anywya, my lab is in the royal mansion on the grounds."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Can we go there now?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lead the way
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ok...this way." *starts walking to leave the current building and go to the mansion*
<DeathStar> *as they step inside, they find Erevis scribbling furiously on a paper*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC is off to the side, painting something
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ....
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Chelsea
<DeathStar> <ASaraR> This place is weird. Come back and work for us
<Jackieness> <Lana> "This way..." *headsthrough the atrium/meeting room and then down to the basement*
<Xanatos> <Logan> The lack of technology is...not great. 6* He says absently to himself as he eyes the scribbling Erevis.
<MobileAri> * Nicolette judges.
<DeathStar> *Erevis scribbles words and rips the current paper off, then more words* I... will not accept... you taking the last...of my tea.... without attaining me.... me more. It will...be...war...
<DeathStar> *Asarar glances around the basement as they arrive and Cypher leans against a wall*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Anyway, this is my lab." *opens the door* "The samples please." *holds out a hand* "If you are feeling twitchy, I won't be offended if you nominate an observer."
<DeathStar> *Asarar complies*
<DeathStar> *then glances at Nicolette* As you a researcher too?
<DeathStar> *Are
<Jackieness> <Lana> *pours out some ash on to a glass plate and then divides it up into smaller samples, transferring them into small phials* "Right, now then... spectroanalysis." *moves over to a machine*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Me? Oh, no. I'm a student. Just... well, you could say I'm working on my graduate studies early."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So looking for anything in particular?" *inserts the phial in the machine then closes it up*
<DeathStar> *after a while, and to speed it up, it would claim that it is the cloned children of Aya Winters - a cloned Aya and cloned Chad* <Asarar> I guess we're looking to see if they weren't that. But it appears that is the case. Unless you have a way to tell it's fake.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Spectroanalysis sounds made up. 6* He mumbles.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Hey. Chelsea has tools that she makes up
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Spectroanalysis... oh, hmm, that gives me an idea."
<DeathStar> *Asarar glances at Nicolette*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ok, test results are in... and... these appear humanish... genetic traces. Gene markers suggest the DNA was reused, so cloning?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah. Apparently it was cloned kids.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Technically, *she notes,* all types of tools and analysis are, in fact, made up. Because nothing like that becomes real until someone figures it out first, after all.
<MobileAri> * Nicolette shrugs, "Not regarding this. I'd been working on paper about comparing different schools of magic... if we could figure out the proper waveforms of the spells, then we could calculate the eigenvalue and... well, that would be useful."
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Chel is so smart
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That went over my head
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *to Lana* So no fudging the results to try to fool a person>
<Jackieness> <Lana> "This tells us that their genetic material is definitely in the ashes. Whether these are their ashes or someone intentionally intruduced genetic amterial into the ashes is another matter entirely."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> No markers that say these are not the real cloned kids
<Jackieness> <Lana> *raiees a finger* "If you want that answer, I need a baseline sample."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Oh yeah that's happening
<DeathStar> *Asarar shakes head and turns to Kira* Okay then
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So where do we go from here
<Jackieness> <Lana> "See the problem then?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Of course..." *starts digging in a drawer* "...there is necromancy."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "If the DNA survived, what about those... telly thingies? Couldn't you measure them?"
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Wait, you're going to use what?
<DeathStar> *eyes Lana*
<Xanatos> <Logan> ... Is this real?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What does this team do again
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Telomeres... and how do you think I knew the DNA was cloned? And yes, I can try to fallback to necromancy since we don't have a baseline sample."
<DeathStar> *Asarar peers at Kira*
<DeathStar> *then Chelsea*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "But wouldn't a clone of a clone have different ones? Or if this is a second clone from the same base, then... geez, how would you check that even? That's the same degree of separation."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...someone needs to keep watch to make sure Team Cheryl doesn't knock on the door whule you have your seance... or whatever it is."
<Sara> * Chelsea deadpans at the mention of necromancy
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Probably each cloning has damage markers or something
<Jackieness> <Lana> "That's why I need a baseline sample of the clones they are looking for. I cna't tell if this is the first generation clone or the second."
<Xanatos> <Logan> We could get you samples of Chad and Aya, would that work?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Er. The originals. 6* He pinches his nose looking annoying at himself.
<DeathStar> *Asarar unghs* That'll take time, Logan. But using necromancy.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You know what. Do it
<DeathStar> *she throws her hands up*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> ... we .. are going to do what ... on what now?
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I am having flashbacks to ancient Magi
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> They did this kind of stuff
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Its not as bad as it sounds... yeeesh."
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *whispers to Chelsea*
<Seraphna> Luci> Is my head going to explode?
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Yeah. *she frowns*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *seems to be protecting her blood*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What do you need to do?
<Seraphna> Luci> Whatever it is, don't mispronounce the words.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Draw out a spell circle, put the remaining ashes in the middle, take off my clothes, and then do some magic."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *eyes Nicolette*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> .... do you do this, too?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Necromancy or naked magic?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... both
<Xanatos> <Logan> This is by far the weirdest thing we've ever been part of.
<Sara> <Chelsea> At least one of the most disturbing.
<MobileAri> * Nicolette considers, "Haven't learned any necromancy, and my clothes are special and don't cause interference."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *pauses, wondering if that means she would otherwise*
<DeathStar> -brief sceneshift0
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...just go upstairs and I'll do my thing. Have soem coffee, tear or booze, and I'll come and tell you if I have any hits."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl stomps her foot with her group*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I got a hit
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh?
<DeathStar> *Yuki tilts her head*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They were seen near that manor. *she points*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Ah, yeah. That's the manor run by Celes
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, come on, I'll show you guys in.
<Xanatos> 6* BIX marches by the group, then pauses and waves.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Looks homely."
<Seraphna> **Jaime waves them to follow and heads that way.** Hey BIX, report!
<DeathStar> *Bonnie runs out of the manor*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> She is going to become a Blood Magi!
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** Who? Wha?
<DeathStar> *Bonnie flees toward the workshop next door*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Is that a thing?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I think Kito is one
<Seraphna> Jaime> Umm... probably.
<Alicia> * Hotaru just stares
<Xanatos> <BIX> Area peaceful! 6* He says with a serious salute. Then pauses and follows them.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs and hops onto some dirt and starts skating over to the house**
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats with BIX and follows. 1"What brings all of you here?"
<DeathStar> *they reach the manor where Erevis is furiously writing another memo*
<DeathStar> *Yuki peeks inside*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Momma.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sips on a tea, standing behind Erevis quietly, reading her writing.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Something wrong?
<Seraphna> **Angela gives Erevis a wave**
<DeathStar> *it looks like she is writing various memos about complaints - minor ones about tea thiefs, cookie thiefts, etc*
<Seraphna> **Jaime tilts her head** I could get you a resupply from the PAX if you'd like Momma.
<DeathStar> *Asarar and Cypher come upstairs and pauses, seeing the group*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh yeah. They were looking for us
<Seraphna> Tabetha> A COOKIE thief!? Most vile.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I think we found them."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Told you we needed to put someone on watch duty..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *slams her hand down and points* I have you now
<Xanatos> <Xan> How did I miss a whole group going down int he basement?
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would appear Asarar's group is here.
<Seraphna> Luci> Oh no, they... wait, why are they looking for us?
<Xanatos> <Logan> She seems aggresive. 6* He says of Cheryl
<Sara> * Chelsea waves
<Seraphna> Angela> **gives Cheryl a light squeeze**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your group stole stuff from me cemetary (not that I usually care) and moments later an attacker crashed my roof. -- Again!
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "...wait, what is going on here?"
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks asymmetrically.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, that did sort of spoil Adeline's birthday party.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Grave robbing, mostly."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Uh. *To Nicolette* We grave robbed their manor last night
<Xanatos> <BIX> Criminals!? 6* His eyes turn red and he points at Asarar's group.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Yep!"
<ChadWinters> <Id> You raided the Cran Manor cemetary?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Why would us digging in dirt cause an attack on you?
<Seraphna> Luci> I mean... umm... **looks to Asarar** <I mean, is it technically stealing considering the employer?>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And then mechanical Venerator that takes over clones crashed our manor seconds later
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm kind of glad I wasn't there now."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *muses on that* So you were attacked afterward. Look, we had nothing to do with the attack. We were paid to investigate those graves.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh, of course you'd say that."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We were gone before the sttack even happened."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl takes a seat, playing with an apple. The apple vanishes from ehr hands a moment later, making her blink*
<DeathStar> *Asarar also sits down*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "You unleashed the mummy's cur-" * Hotaru stares, and Ceilidh stops mid-sentence
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But it is odd that someone timed an attack on them during it
<Seraphna> ANgela> We have a thief in our midst I think.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can't be Terra, she usually announces her Fruit Looting.
<Xanatos> <Logan> We're not criminals. 6* He says flatly, crossing his arms.
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would mean that you're not as discreet as you claim to be.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Fine. I can guess who hired you
<DeathStar> *Cheryl
<Xanatos> <Xan> I mean, I can tell you if you'd both like to keep your privacy.
<DeathStar> *Erevis motions at Xan* Xanatos was playing with the culprit for months
<Seraphna> **Angela groans and rolls her eyes** Now I feel like we wasted our time.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl and Asarar stare at Xanatos*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sips the tea and winks.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Playing with?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wait, Chad?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I said I didn't approve of this ship.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Question though. Chad never mentioned checking out the graves to me, that's something he could do himself. Why're you doing it?
<DeathStar> *Asarar motions Nicolette and everyone to sit down*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Fine, we will fill you in
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Chad came to us to hire us
<Jackieness> <Kira> *takes a seat* "...desperate, I might add."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But he seemed a little ... crazy. He gave us a list of us suspects, one of which included himself and another his ball here.
<Seraphna> Angela> If I had to take a guess, they were doing it so we'd have someone to chase and be distracted over something.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh well Id is a total spy.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So the first thing we did was dig up the "victims" to see how mentally sound he was.
<Seraphna> Jaime> He tells us all the time.
<Xanatos> <Logan> It's called going above and beyond. Not something your groups typically do. 6* He says idly.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Wait, what?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> Why would he think that I am responsible for anything outside my programming?
<DeathStar> *to Nicolette* A few months ago, two of Chad Winters' family was killed during the Ancient nonsense
<Seraphna> **Angela sours** Yeah, poor kids...
<Xanatos> 6* BIX seems confused by all of this and arrests Bonnie in the background, for fun, then lets her arrest him.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie fluffs up and tackles Bix like a cat*
<DeathStar> *pawing his head*
<Xanatos> 6*BIX collapses, defeated.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So I think that catches you all up to what we have been doing --- *at that moment there's a rumble downstairs that shakes the manor*
<DeathStar> *and the floorboards light up with magic*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ....
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...what uh, is Lana doing?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Naked necromancy
<ChadWinters> <Id> That seem's....not normal
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... is that... normal?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Naked? Nice.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Huh... so magical works do better naked... I will remember that.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Should I go check on her?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Um... normally it's not this reactive."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets go down there
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Especially magic users
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Why would magic care what clothes you wear?"
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I have no idea
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... maybe they like nudity?
<Xanatos> 6* BIX sits up with Bonnie on his head and places her gently on the floor before walking downstairs first.
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> ...blood magic...
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats down after the group
<Xanatos> <Xan> I messed up by datapad so I haven't seen non-Erevis boobs in like...weeks. 6* He moves to walk downstairs.
<DeathStar> *Asarar, Cypher, Cheryl, and Yuki walk downstairs*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm not a witch!"
<DeathStar> *Erevis deadpans*
<Seraphna> **Jaime and Angela head downstairs**
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "When you're trying to interact with dead things, and your clothes are made of dead things... think about it." She heads downstairs.
<Alicia> * Hotaru sticks with Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Wait, that's it? Really?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh
<ChadWinters> <Id> Why would you try bringing back the dead anyways?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh, so I don't have to be naked to do that.
<Xanatos> <Logan> That must mean her clothes are alive. She said she didn't have to worry about it with hers. 6* He says casually to Asarar as he follows down.
<Seraphna> Jaime> My clothes are alive.
<DeathStar> *Yuki's tails scratch their heads*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *following* "So, if your clothes are artificial, it's fine?"
<DeathStar> *they find Lana knocked on her ass, smoking*
<DeathStar> *and nude*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ....
<Seraphna> **Talia was watching the ritual with popcorn**
<DeathStar> *the ashes seem to be used up*
<Seraphna> Talia> What happens next Gwen? Is this part of it?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "It's still a bit tricky... artificial fibers are generally made from oil, which was once alive."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ehhhhhhh..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Lana, can you hear my voice?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "You okay, Lana? They ashes weren't made of flash powder, were they?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> My clothes are just mud really.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I'm...wow...wasn't expecting that..."
<Seraphna> **Thena appears and dumps water on Lana**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What happened?"
<Seraphna> Thena> No smoking on campus. **She vanishes**
<Xanatos> <BIX> Danger!? 6* He checks Lana, then pauses and pulls of his shirt to gives to Lana.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ... *eyes the area; it looks like a mini explosion happened or something, some things jumped, but there's no sign of explosion, but those with magic abilities can sense it in the air*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Gack! I'm melting! Melting!"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> .... I will get that Thena
<ChadWinters> <Id> This place looks...like a small bomb went off.
<Seraphna> Talia> The Self Appointed Vice-Headmistress?
<Alicia> * Ceilidh shudders involuntarily
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "...Lana, you're not that type of witch, remember?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan looks around for blast marks or any other physical representation of an explosion.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *covers herself up* "...right...anyway... wow... someone rigged those ashes with a hex."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Wait, what?
<Seraphna> Jaime> So... magic was involved? And these ashes were on Earth?
<DeathStar> *Xanatos would see nothing, but there is slight signs of magical residue all over the room*
<Xanatos> <Logan> A hex? That is also not made up?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "So, a boobytrap? Not magically created ashes?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You heard me. I totally wasn't expecting it."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I really need to study up."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> But what were the chances anyone would use magic to study them
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh it's all real. We've got all the fantasy stuff here.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Magical explosion, I'm a little shocked you're still alive Lana.
<Seraphna> Jaime> There's even dragons.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> 50/50?
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would appear someone made sure you couldn't mess with the dead.
<Seraphna> Luci> I'm standing right here you know.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Please, this isn't my first rodeo."
<Seraphna> Talia> Yeah! Lana really good at taking heavy banging!
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Language."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *twitches*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Well... if they could cast a hex, then they're knowledgable with magic. Of course magical analysis would be something they'd consider."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait. So either Chad did it, which I find unlikely - or the person who killed the kids put the hex on their bodies
<Seraphna> **Talia blinks** Huh? Was just saying Lana really good at bracing herself for a pummel.
<Xanatos> <Xan> And you wouldn't put a head on the ashes unless there's something you want to hide.
<ChadWinters> Wouldn't the hex have been destroyed during cremation?
<Xanatos> (hex)
<Seraphna> Jaime> It could have been put on there after the fact.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "I don't think it was a very good cremation. I mean, the DNA survived..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It seems it didn't go off until magic was used
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's a really lousy cremation."
<Seraphna> Angela> A WEIRD safeguard for ashes buried on Earth.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Someone was expecting wizards."
<Xanatos> <Xan> So uh. Should I let Chad know or is that something you'll do?
<ChadWinters> <Id> To be frank, I do not believe Chad knows how to use magic, but it is within his wheelhouse to pay someone to booby trap them incase someone tried to do something.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Just to be clear, whatever that hex did, it for sure destroyed the ashes?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So, what. We got the possibility that Chad did this. And he might still be a suspect. Or the suspect did this after he killed them
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Still leaving us nowhere
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I feel like that was the point of the hex."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *aves a hand* "I'll need to dispel my lab to be safe after this is over with... anyway... those ashes only had primal imprints on them."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl hmmms?*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So, what does that mean?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> ....what are primal imprints.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Mr. Winters was no where near the children while the attack happened.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm. But you keep saying he's a masterp lanner. He could have hired or blah blah
<Seraphna> Luci> Isn't Winters that bloke that visited the bar and vanished like a ghost?
<ChadWinters> <Id> So you believe, that he had his kids killed, his daughter, her husband and their kids and Eve harmed to do this?
<Seraphna> Luci> How'd he do that anyway? Seemed like Shadow Magic or something fancy.
<ChadWinters> *the clones not his kids*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "It means that the ashes came from a bodies that only had a sense of awareness of an unborn child."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait
<Seraphna> Angela> Wha?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Wait, unborn?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... so, definitely not the originals."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl raises a hand* More than that
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Though I suspect the wombs in question were cloning tanks."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She just said way more than that
<Seraphna> Angela> What's up sis?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ashes from bodies that only sense of awareness of an unborn child.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Does that sound like Aya's cloned kids
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who were what, like 8ish
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Obviously not."
<Seraphna> Angela> Definately not... so... they were clones of the kids? Like fresh ones?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *points to Cheryl* "Very good. Someone slipped you ringers to bury."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "It sounds like that old mystery trope of planting a body to make you think someone is dead."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And then cremated the fake ones
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ooh, a mystery fan! I like you already."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Why not just say that in the first place instead of such a convuluted way?
<Seraphna> Angela> So someone didn't want us to know they had them, or Aya and the family faked their deaths?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... I thought you robots had a big vocabulary
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Their awareness was only advanced enough to breathe, feel hunger, fight or flight... i.e. the most primal imprints."
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'll just say this once. Chad didn't do this.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Of course. There's a lot of thematic overlap between magic and mystery."
<DeathStar> *Asarar studies Xanatos* Fine. So who do we look into
<DeathStar> *Asarar pulls out the headless lion*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Sounds pretty fucking barbaric.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> He fingered the robot, and some girl that looked like Aya.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh practically squees at Nicolette's line
<Xanatos> <Xan> Some girl that looked like Aya?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *hands Xanatos the folder*
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah, that sounds a bit weird... did she have a clone too?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan flips through it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Several. Along with Eve.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright. *she eyes the group* HEre's what I plan to do
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm going to look into coloning facilities. See if one leads me to this. *she points at the magic circle* Surely one place had to have a hand in making these "dolls"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And maybe that will lead me to the suspect.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Okay, so something you might not know about Chad. He had this side of his brain called Id. I don't really know the specifics of what it was, but it did some really horrible fucking things.
<Xanatos> <Xan> My guess, he thinks either a clone of himself or of Aya has this Id type of personality and it trying to get him in some sort of revenge plot.
<DeathStar> *Cypher pauses* Ah. That is what he meant by Id. Wait, why would he name a robot Id then
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Named Id? Pretty on the nose for that..."
<Xanatos> <Xan> The fact he called this floating anal bead Id....is pretty fucked up.
<DeathStar> *Cypher eyes the orb*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Zephyr is pretty pissed about that
<ChadWinters> <Id> I had asked him the same thing myself.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I think it was to take ownership of the term, maybe? But I don't know.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> *eyes Id suspiciously*
<Seraphna> Angela> I did always kind of find it creepy.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie pokes Id*
<Seraphna> Angela> You'd think after he went psycho on the PAX he'd want to distance himself from Id.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Something like that. He had explained to me that he had no reason to let his past haunt him and that the name was nothing more than simply that. A name.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh yeah. Explain that to the others who had to deal with Id
<Xanatos> <Xan> More likely it was so he could fuck with us.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... wow. What a dick."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll hunt for Chad
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Find where his butt is hiding
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "He sounds... like a bit of an asshole."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Either way, this robot could be hacked by someone so it's not entirely trustworthy. And if any clone of him has this Id persona it's a serious problem.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just a bit
<Seraphna> Angela> Mm, alright, when are we getting on that Cherry?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So you think Id might be compromised if a clone of Chad is running around
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Chelsea
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Sounds reasonable."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I give you permission to do your thing with mechanics to Id
<ChadWinters> <Id> It is possible. It is most likely why he overrode several programs and has not made contact with me in months
<Jackieness> <Kira> "..then I wonder who the Chad that hired us was... the real one? A clone? Or Id in a clone?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> Normally that would cause several protocols to activate.
<Xanatos> <Xan> You can get Kane to help, parts of Id's stuff come from Kane.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I didn't know that."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Indeed. I would trust Kane to access what he is allowed to.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Sounds good. *she moves to go* Those interested in going to the facilities are welcome to join me. *Cheryl waves her hand, welcoming those with her as the party begins to break up*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "So... this Chad wouldn't rely on magic, but you think this evil clone of his would? That's a significant deviation to consider."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *as she walks up the stares* That's a good point, Nicolette
<Seraphna> **Angela sticks to Cheryl of course**
<DeathStar> *stairs
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I wonder what that could mean
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If it's about clones, I should probably come with."
<Alicia> * Hotaru sticks with Cheryl
<Seraphna> Angela> Mm, Chad has limits on himself, standards. Id was everything Chad wouldn't let himself be. So relying on magic fits his MO perfectly.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "So, you think it is Id?"
<DeathStar> *Yuki runs up after them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *changs back into her normal clothes once they leave and then starts cleaning up her lab, including any lingering magical residue from the hex*
<Seraphna> Angela> If it is, I have a sword with his neck's name on it.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl makes a note to maybe grab a magic user if magic is involved and Asarar jots notes, probably thinking the same thing*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 1:
<DeathStar> *As Chad is walking around in his location, suddenly he falls over as the magic from the rebound hits him, knocking him off his feet*
* ChadWinters falls to his knees, breathing heavy, his hands clenched and his face tense.
<DeathStar> *the pain fades, then Chad would notice the magic seems to have made him stand out - it looks like the spell is the type that draws attention to you, as people glance at him, without even seeming to realize it*
<DeathStar> *and things seem to keep happening that draws attention to him*
* ChadWinters pushes himself to stand up, eyeing around, a frown flashing on his face briefly. 1"Seem's they've made their move."
<DeathStar> *at that moment, Chad's datapad makes a noise*
* ChadWinters glances down at his datapad and pulls it out, taking a full look as he moves to go down an alley
<DeathStar> *all his bank accounts seem to be empty and it looks like he's in bad trouble, oweing money for various things. No doubt it can be sorted out, but who knows how long it will take.*
<ChadWinters> This old trope again.
* ChadWinters slips it back on his hip. 1"Guess it's time for phase 2 to start."
<DeathStar> *and finally it looks like some of his bases are being stumbled upon due to the magic.*
<DeathStar> Epilogue 2:
<DeathStar> *Aya stumbles as the same magic hits her. Grumbling as she steps out onto the PAX, she eyes as suddenly Aya has become the most popular person on the ship. After a moment, she closes the door to her room and taps her arm* Dad....
<DeathStar> -TBC-
