* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session475
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> -Late Night, a few hours after Fumoffu 25
<DeathStar> Song 1: Valen's Search
<DeathStar> *Rachael walks with Valen, Moira having fallen behind while they walk along the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So, what's your plan again? *she asks with her hands behind her head*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Andrea knows a lot about dark...stuff. I thought maybe she could help us communicate with Dusk and find out who...well who killed her.
<DeathStar> *due to the late night of the PAX, outside the main areas of the PAX like the main strip of shops, the Market Place, the hallways with the rooms and other places of the ship, it is rather empty of people due to it being night time outside a few late birds or people working the night shift*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Think it'll be that simple?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *peers around the hallways, eyeing one guy suspiciously that comes out of his room*
<Xanatos> <Valen> No, probably not. I think maybe someone will have to be like a host to dusk.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes the guy too.
<DeathStar> End Song
<DeathStar> *the guy eyes the two, rubbing his eyes like a guy who is making a late run to the Market Place at night at 2 AM for food. He walks off, hands in his pockets*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think it's Durt. *she announces suddenly* I think Gartareh is in Durt.
<DeathStar> *they soon reach a room a place that has been directed to them as a place that Andrea is using while on the PAX. Room 666*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I hope it is, I've been wanting to get that asshole back for betraying us last time. Everyone seemed so quick to forgive but...nah not me.
<DeathStar> *Rachael nods*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen deadpans at the room number and sighs before giving a knock on the door.
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session475
<DeathStar> *The door opens and Andrea opens it, wearing a robe, her hair down and still in her teenage form. She looks like she just came out of the shower, or perhaps she planned this on purpose* Hmmmm?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Uh, hey what's up. Bad time?
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session475
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hu hu hu. Is it ever a bad time for me? Come on inside. *she leads them inside the PAX room, which has been redecorated - into something that looks rather comfortable*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen steps in and pauses.
<DeathStar> *it has relaxing music playing, the bed has snacks on it, some opened and being eaten and it looks like Andrea had a movie playing, some sort of romance movie*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *walks over to join Rachael and Valen*
<Xanatos> <Valen> This is way less gothy than I was expecting.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Er, I mean, it looks nice really.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Mmm. You should see my mansion. I might like black but I like comfortable stuff too
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ah, you found the place... and whoa. This is plush."
<DeathStar> *Andrea moves and sits on the bed, eating some candy, some of it looking expensive out of those candy boxes you have to pay a lot to get*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So what brings you to me?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Sorry to bother you so late. We're in a bit of a panic and run around mode. Can't exactly wait till morning. But basically the gist of it is we have this shard to one of the god named Dusk. She was all about dark things and we're hoping we can communicate in some way and find out who killed her.
<DeathStar> *Rachael looks around and grabs a candy, eating it*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Its kind of really important."
<DeathStar> *Andrea studies the two but holds out her hand*
<DeathStar> *the three
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh I don't have any money...OH you want to shard. 6* He pulles it out of his pocket and places it in her hand.
<DeathStar> Song 2: Shard of Dusk
<DeathStar> *Andrea studies it, holding it in her hands*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We spent alot of time in Cartel space, so I hope you understand he emant no insult when he thought you wnated money."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm. *she floats off the bed and lands on the floor, not caring if her robe slips a bit* For these false Gods, this is a bit of power. An Elder Vampire. I could absorb it and gain her knowledge, make it part of myself. It'll take time
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well, the confrontation is going to be tomorrow.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well, I can only move so fast
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Unless you want me to destroy the being inside
<Xanatos> <Valen> Taiga and Lorelei suspect that each are secretly housing the god Gartareh who's a real dickhead6* He explains *
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh uh, no I don't want that...because they might be able to help Rachael. Or Vesper may want her back. It's...well it's why I've been holding onto it.
<DeathStar> *Andrea nods.* Take a seat then.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Is there any way to speed it up without destroyign it? Like, we cna try to get you stuff..."
<DeathStar> *Andrea then begins to take the shard and swallows it*
<Xanatos> <Valen> WHOA. That uh. I wasn't expecting that. 6* He takes a seat out of pure shock
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm. Speed it up. *puts her hand on her hips* I guess you can get Charlotte and Noire. Their dark energy can help. *she smiles, showing some vampiric features*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *pulls out a comm* "Calling..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *takes a deep breath* This is going to be a long night
<DeathStar> *Andrea takes a seat and resumes eating her candy, despite having point-ier teeth8
<DeathStar> -End Song/Scene Shift-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> Song 3: Geyze Early Morning
<DeathStar> 6* For Geyze, it is early morning for them, since the PAX is in a different part of the galaxy.
<DeathStar> *Celes stands at the manor, peering outside while the sun comes up*
<DeathStar> *Lumi comes over with some paperwork and stops at the manor while Selena wakes up, with bed hair - which is bad due to her long hair*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats idly in the courtyard, what with being an early riser.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *comes up from the basement, yawning as she shuffles to the bathroom*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon stands on a pillar of ice out in one of the empty areas off on the outskirts of the alliance and academy area. His spear is in his hands and he's moving through stances and forms.
<DeathStar> Song 4: Geyze
<Xanatos> 6* BIX marches on patrol, rarely ever sleeping or powering down. He takes big steps and swings his arms wide as he doots his usual marching song.
<DeathStar> *Selena sits waiting on food at the table.*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Everything normal like usual Bix?
<Seraphna> **Jaime yawns, quietly contemplating everything that's happening right now**
<DeathStar> *Erevis it seems is MIA*
<Sara> * Ellie rolls out of bed, literally, with a thump to the floor.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *shuffles into the bathroom*
<DeathStar> *Sylph floats over Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Ellie is so cuuuute
<Sara> <Ellie> Five more minuh
<Sara> <Ellie> Zzz...
<DeathStar> *Fae tugs on Ellie*
<Alicia> * Sparkling is half-awake, having woken up early for her. She usually sleeps in.
<DeathStar> *Lumi and Celes talk and Lumi then has food provided on the table while Celes rings the bell for a meeting*
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns, but stretches a bit and gets some food, mostly vegetables lately**
<Sara> * Ellie rolls over
<Xanatos> <Bix> Everything = within: Normal Paramters!
<DeathStar> Song 4-1: Possible Geyze Music
<Jackieness> 6* There is stumbling and thumping in the bathroom as Lana reacts to the bell ringing.
<Seraphna> **And meowling**
<DeathStar> *Fae sits on Ellie*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *sits with a cup of tea, just taking in the smells
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Ack! I'm late again?! But I tried *so hard* to be up on time!"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan drinks a coffee and sits on their front porch area watching people as they get up and move about their day.
<DeathStar> *Cypher arrives at the table; not about to pass up food*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That is good to hear.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tumbles out of the bathroom and then heads for the meeting room*
<Seraphna> **Talia rides on her head**
<Alicia> * Sparkling rushes to the sound of the bell, grabbing some toast as she goes.
<DeathStar> *Cloé steals bacon*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pauses at the bell ringing and moves towards the meeting. BIX nods to Id then blinks at the ringing and runs towards the meeting too. Simon pauses and the ice under him dissipates slowly lowering him to the ground and he moves for the meeting as well.
<DeathStar> *nomming and looking around like a wild cat when it comes to food*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats after Bix
<DeathStar> *Selena waves blankly to Nicolette, not really seeing her - not a morning person*
<Sara> * Chelsea allows Cloé to "steal" bacon. She knows she thinks she's clever.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits and eats, nodding to her Dad when he shows up**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *sits down, looking semi-disheveled*
<Ariel> * Nicolette shifts over next to Selena, "...gotta love early meetings, right?"
<DeathStar> *As the group arrives slowly, Fae dragging Ellie in her nightgown*
<Sara> * Ellie yawns, her mouth open such that it could swallow worlds. Or so some would joke.
<Alicia> * Sparkling hurries over, toast in mouth, removing it only to apologise for her "lateness". "I'm so sorry, I tried so hard to not sleep in this time!"
<DeathStar> <Fae> Food! *she goes for the fruit* <Neekito> Oh dear. *she covers Ellie with a blanket*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I get up early a lot lately... gotta get back here from the Great Forest usually... but yesterday I was busy with stuff on the PAX.
<DeathStar> *Selena nods and soon seems awake* Yes. I like to train first thing to wake myself
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Now that I have all of you here
<DeathStar> <Celes> We want to discuss something
<DeathStar> <Lumi> While you eat it is something you can mull over for the next few weeks
<DeathStar> <Celes> You have until the next school semester.
<Alicia> * Sparkling nods, and eats her toast
<DeathStar> *Celes takes her food, playing with it slowly* As you know we are planning to go back into the past to learn about the Ancients. So those among the team who wishes to partake in that needs to decide if they are going to commit or not. It could be a long time. We do not know if or when we will come back; for example, Autumn has not returned yet.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Those of you who wish to remain and help defend Geyze in this upcoming War or take classes need to decide on that as well
<DeathStar> <Celes> That's just as important
<Xanatos> <BIX> BIX Defend! 6* Simon tilts his head at Bix saying that and then glances to Celes.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "School vs time travel..."
<Sara> <Liana> It's certainly awful to think it could be 'if' and not 'when', but... that's the nature of such things
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns a little** If it's time travel... won't you all possibly arrive back seconds after you leave, no matter how long you're gone?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well I'm definitely not going. Unless Erevis makes me.
<Xanatos> <Simon> There is that potential, yes. 6* He says to Jaime with a nod.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That is not true. It is hard to know when the return portal will open if there is one.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Also Autumn may not want to come back. She did take all of her followers, afterall."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> She does have an entire planet to rule essentially.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Of course, there's the possibility that she was supposed to go back and stay there.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "She didn't give the impression of wanting to return..."
<DeathStar> <Celes> We cannot know after all. We might return immediately after
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I don't think she's coming back."
<DeathStar> <Celes> But if the risk is we do not know return for a long time...
<Sara> <Liana> Besides, Jaime. Realize that seconds to Geyze could be decades for those who go
<DeathStar> *she trails off*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It is interesting though, that the possibility of going back may coincide as to why the Spirits either do not remember much about the past or refuse to talk about it.
<DeathStar> *Sylph looks up from eating fruit*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** I likely won't be going, I have to attend to matters on two worlds and I don't think I could possibly leave Gnome behind alone.
<DeathStar> Eng Song
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia can go if Mistress goes... well, has to go if Mistress goes. Talia needs mana!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I don't want to leave my friends behind, but..."
<DeathStar> <Celes> I know I will go. But if it is just me and Liana
<DeathStar> <Celes> I will understand
<Seraphna> Talia> Mistress will want to go, she is research crazy like Simon.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will most likely go. Time does not have a major factor on me.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And if you get destroyed again?"
<Seraphna> **Si steps into the room, fuuing a bit as she looks them all over**
<Ariel> * Nicolette puts down her cup to seriously consider the pros and cons of this operation.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will bring along a few spares. If they are all destroyed then so be it.
<Sara> <Liana> If you're going, Cel, then naturally I would rather not leave your side
<DeathStar> *Celes smiles and hugs. Lumi blinks and peers at Si*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Do we know this rabbit person?
<Sara> * Ellie exchanges a look with Sylph
<Xanatos> <Simon> I'm afraid that you must go Bix. Us finding the head of that other you...I believe if you don't go it could spell trouble for us. 6* Bix seems to be processing this, staring at the ground.
<Seraphna> Si> Well, everyone's here, so this makes things easy.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Plus, if we are trapped back there. I have the best chance of surviving the natural flow of time to catch up with everyone and possibly change something
* Chaintan has joined #TAW-Session475
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "If it's that important, I can't not go..."
<DeathStar> *Selena looks ready to volunteer, but remembers what time travel does to her
<DeathStar> *Ceels and Lumi peer at Si*
<Seraphna> **Si waves** I'm Si'Chi Bennet. Taiga's companion. And... Lumi, Taiga needs you.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Taiga what?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Huh? Is Taiga going back in time too?"
<Ariel> * Nicolette rests a hand on Selena's arm sympathetically
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Not everyone can go though..."
<Seraphna> Si> Needs you, up on the PAX. Things are coming to a head and she needs your help in unmasking Garterah.
<Sara> <Ellie> Do what now?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Yeah, do what what now?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Who's Gartareh?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Isn't that the big bad my mom is beating up
<Seraphna> Si> It's... a loooong story. But he's a God who's threatening to take over reality and Lorelei and her kids have been fighting him for years now. He's the person behind Autumn.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "But... time travel!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Or who Autumn was trying to escape from."
<Seraphna> **Si nods** And Taiga needs your help uncovering him.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe she is requiring you to bolster her ranks.
<DeathStar> *Lumi sighs and rises, peering at the group* Anyway, you have until the school semester starts. As Celes says, think on it. I'll go with Si to the PAX
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Let me know whoever wants to stay with me and help out around the Academy
<DeathStar> *Celes bows*
<Seraphna> Si> That's because Lore is in trouble and we'd rather everyone comes out of this alive. Oh, and any of you that wanna join in the party can come along. I need to go pick someone else up on the way.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Be wary Lumi, Si is not telling you that they also think that Taiga is the one who is possessed
<DeathStar> *Lumi's ears perk up at that*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm going to pass on that too. You all have fun, I'm going to go find my wife. 6* He stands and steps out.
<Seraphna> Si> Her, and Lore, and Durt.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm sure it's Durt."
<Xanatos> <Simon> This Gartareh has possessed a friend of the group? That is most troubling.
<Seraphna> **Si waves her hand** I know it's not Taiga though. But we're gonna need to solve this.
<DeathStar> *Cloé meanwhile has stolen more food*
<DeathStar> *while they all yammer*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "OK, seriously... we need to consider the team who is going to go, and not just randomly ask for volunteers."
<Seraphna> Jaime> We've got weeks to decide on the time travel.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe for sure, BIX and I should go. But if BIX chooses not to, I can understand that. I believe the kids call it, "Screw the man."
<DeathStar> <Selena> I wish I could go... *she mutters as Lumi steps out*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon muses and steps out to follow Lumi.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Next order of business?"
<Seraphna> **Si moves with Lumi** Welp, one stop on the way and we're off to the PAX.
<Sara> * Ellie frowns, thinking to herself that if Jaime isn't going to the past, she more or less needs to -- because who knows what matters may come up relating to spirits
<DeathStar> *Sylph tilts her head at Ellie curiously*
<Xanatos> <Bix> Meeting = Adjourned. 6* He declares with a fist clenched, being dramatic and a little angsty before running out. Not to go with Lumi but because he is a confused boy.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I should go with Bix.
<DeathStar> *She stands up and smooths out her robes, and kisses Liana*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> He needs time to process everything.
<Sara> * Ellie hugs on Sylph
<DeathStar> *Sylph hugs Ellie* There there
<Seraphna> Jaime> I may as well as see what happens. **she sighs and hops up, writing a note and passing it to Xan** When Momma gets back, tell her what's up.
<DeathStar> *offers her fruit*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I saved this for you
<Sara> * Ellie eats
<Jackieness> <Lana> "To be fair, we don't know if BIX has to go this time or if he goes into the past on another occassion."
<Alicia> <Asha> "Well, I'm off to the PAX. I'll see you all later?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> True. *props her head up*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan gives a nod and a salute as he moves on.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> Song 5: Late Night PAX
<DeathStar> 6* A few hours after Fumoffu's finale, it would see the PAX is quiet. Almost too quiet. Like a mouse is not stirring. Andrea has brought her little gang to the bar, that is closed for the most part but opened just for their meeting
<DeathStar> *the market place is mostly closed outside a few stores that are opened at night or opened 24/7*
<Xanatos> <Valen> You know, this place is creepy at night.
<DeathStar> Song 6: Tension in the Air
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It has a totally different ambience."
<DeathStar> 6* Hess and Kaori are in the room; even they can feel the tension in the air. It's like it's almost papable. Yuki wakes up on the Aquarius and sits up on Erica's bed
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ....
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I don't like this feeling
<DeathStar> *Ren walks over to join Charlotte* <Ren> Something feels wrong
<Chaintan> 6*Hess grimaces, hugging Koari to her side
<Alicia> * Charlotte hugs Ren to her side, even before she notices Hess
<Jackieness> <Noire> *from behind Valen* "...creepy, is it?"
<Sara> * Kaori looks at Hess with uncertain eyes, as the atmosphere is uneasy
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks at Noire sneaking up on him and grabs his chest putting his head on the counter.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I died. Good thing I missed all the bad stuff.
<DeathStar> *Andrea has her eyes closed, focused*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks past the dying Valen and sits down*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's more than darkness."
<DeathStar> *Yuki creeps out of the bed and heads for the bridge of the Aquarius*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You need soem water, valen?"
<DeathStar> *Ren grabs a drink from behind the counter and shugs it*
<DeathStar> *outside Hess and Kaori's room, a shadow passes it*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper sits on the bridge, legs propped up and her eyes closed, mumbling singing
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch
<Chaintan> 6*For a moment, Hess holds her breath as the shadow passes before she inches towards the door
<Seraphna> **Cookie snoozes with her head against Pepper's hip, sitting on the floor clearly in a high-snooze**
<DeathStar> *Yuki sits beside Pepper and boots up the scanners*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is it just me, or does this feel like one of those pivotal moments Fate always talks about?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Naw I'm okay, thanks though. 6* He sits up with sigh.
<DeathStar> <Voice> You're getting better at this. *to Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *behind Valen*
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks to the voice
<DeathStar> *Hess would see female like shadow pass her doorway and move onward down the hall*
<DeathStar> *Young Fate is there, holding a bottle of alcohol*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't know whether to be proud of myself for that, or just worried that it is."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Oh hey. I can grow wings. *she grows wings and floats like some elder vampire*
<Chaintan> 6* Hess quietly opens the door and peers out to get a better look
<DeathStar> *turning the corner are fox tails*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother..."
<DeathStar> *Andrea lands*
<Xanatos> <Valen> What uh. What are we waiting on now? 6* He asks Andrea
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Piecing Dusk together still
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Still?"
<DeathStar> *Yuki's scans begin to hit alarms and at the same time CHIP begins to speak alarms on the PAX. Shutters begin to lower in areas*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It takes time."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> She was in a tiny frag---
<DeathStar> *she looks around*
<DeathStar> Song 8: The Threats
<DeathStar> Song 7: The Threats
<Sara> * Erica has been taking it easy and not overexherting herself ever since all the things that happened with her
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Warning. Dark One fleet has been detected nearing the Sol System. The PAX and it's allies are preparing for combat and will jump soon
<DeathStar> *At the same time those with pings get a God Ping on the PAX*
<DeathStar> *perhaps using the distraction*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...feel that?"
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper snorts awake at the alarms.
<DeathStar> *Yuki eyes the scans and shows the Dark One Fleet. She bops Pepper and Cookie*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> L-Loud!!
<Seraphna> **Cookie sits up and blinks** Wha it was the Brownie monster... huh?
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...oh shit
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The Dark Ones are headed for Geyze
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks sharply at Andrea* "Mother...did you anticipate this?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm. You think I happened to be hanging out here on the off chance they might attack somewhere close by>?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Welp, we'd better get shipped out! **she hops over to the pilot seat** Hey Mirei! Wakey wakey!
<DeathStar> Song 8: Dark Loomings
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm getting a god ping.
<Chaintan> <Hess> Kaokao, Im going after it
<Sara> * Kaori gives a little nod
<Xanatos> <Valen> On the PAX. 6* He gets up, looking conflicted.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'm nearly done
<DeathStar> <Andrea> But you can chase after it if you want
<Chaintan> 6*With a nod, Hess ripples after, hopping to tail the escaping figure
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'll report in my findings
<Xanatos> <Valen> I...maybe I can slow them down at least!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen turns and runs out.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers out of the shadows and peers around at the others** Came as soon as I heard the alarm.
<DeathStar> *Rachael follows*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Then its time for us to go."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan yawns, forms her shield and heads after them**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *heads out with Valen and Rachael*
<DeathStar> *while they head around, more areas are shutting residental areas with shutters to protect civilians. Hess and Kaori would see shutters coming down*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... and what should we do, mother?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Let them go for now
<Seraphna> **Thena pops into the bar and takes a seat** I'll let you know if they need you.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ack! Damn it Thena, don't just jump in like that! ...but thanks."
<Chaintan> <Hess> fuck theyre being serious... 6*Another ripple to form should a shutter block the way
<DeathStar> -Hallways - aka Hess, Valen, those going after the tailed one or the ping one-
<DeathStar> *Hess and Kaori manage to continue forward. Right as vAlen and his group land in the smae hallway, barely avoiding a shutter*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well this is fun!
<Xanatos> <Valen> Tch, this sure seems on purpose.
<Sara> <Kaori> Ugh
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Right. We need to move fast though."
<DeathStar> *the ping is up ahead, near Taiga's room*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hey you two, there's a lockdown! 6* He turns and runs towards the ping again.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan keeps on the ping, frowning as they near a familiar location**
<Chaintan> 6* Hess ignores i the call and continues after the ping and figure
<Jackieness> <Moira> *dashes forward toward the ping, hand on the grip of her sword*
<Sara> * Kaori stays close to Hess, relatively
<DeathStar> *Hess loses sight of the figure around a corner and the ping vanishes outside Taiga's room, where the door has been destroyed*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh no, it went for Taiga?
<DeathStar> *CHIP's voice is heard - a recording stating that security is on it's way and to remain where they are*
<Seraphna> *Kaelan feels for a moment, but not for the ping, but for Lorelei**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "No assumptions, just move."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *approaches the destroyed door*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei seems to be off the station oddly*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen enters into Taiga's room, looking for signs of a struggle or even worse.
<DeathStar> *off the ship
<DeathStar> *there's blood and the room looks to be damaged, as if there was a fight*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Lore's off the PAX... I think. No getting her here fast I think. **she peers into the destroyed door** This isn't good...
<DeathStar> Song 9: Discover While War Looms
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...damn it."
<DeathStar> *on the floor is a device*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sniffs the air, smelling out the blood, then eyes the device**
<Xanatos> <Valen> Lots of blood. Any of you know how to analyze this stuff? It's uh...probably Taiga's though. 6* He pauses and kneels by the device.
<DeathStar> *it looks to be a teleporter that would take anyone in the room and move them to another location*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Let's see... **she tries to sniff out scents in the room to figure out who was here, and who's blood that is**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What did you find, Valen?"
<DeathStar> *the blood looks to be Lorelei's and a little of Taiga's.*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This is Lore and Taiga's blood in here.
<DeathStar> *at that moment Lumi rushes in*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So... one tried to cut the other off.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> By the door damage I'd have to assume... the worst. That Lore is the one possessed, Taiga could just open her own door.
<DeathStar> *the shutters having been burned through*
<DeathStar> *Si and Asha standing behind her*
<Xanatos> <Valen> We need a smart person to trace this teleporter thing. 6* He holds it up, barely.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> What is going on?
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu... well this isn't good. **She frowns and feels out for Taiga**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We don't know ywt..."
<Alicia> <Asha> "Damn, we got here too late."
<DeathStar> Song 10: Surprise Visitor
<Xanatos> 6* Simon came with them too, he glances over Lumi, Asha, and Si. The moves forward to looks the device over seeing if there's a way to trace or not.
<DeathStar> <Strange Alien> Hm. That's a shame. Is the other kids here? *those with pings would feel a sense of a god signature behind them*
<DeathStar> *but not quite*
<Seraphna> Si> This is most of them.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks around quickly, sword and shield activating.
<DeathStar> *the alien looks to always shifting in appearance*
<Seraphna> *Kaelan blinks and turns around** No way...
<Jackieness> <Moira> *turns sharply, drawing her sword*
<Seraphna> Si> Whoa there, it's okay.
<DeathStar> *The alien jerks at their weapons*
<DeathStar> *turning into an appearance of a cloud almost*
<Alicia> <Asha> "... who's that?"
<Seraphna> Si> They're jumpy, they can sense what you are.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Who fucking just appears in a bloody room speaking like one of the bros!? Identify who you are now.
<DeathStar> <Alien> Si told me Taiga wanted me here
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...the bros?"
<Seraphna> Si> Taiga's key witness. Gartareh.
<Seraphna> Si> Well, the non-evil one.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...wait... non-evil one?"
<Seraphna> Si> Oh yeah, he totes is cool. He doesn't have to become that big baddie.
<Xanatos> <Valen> .... 6*He seems embarassed that he said the bros, looking more off put by that than the gartareh bit.
<DeathStar> *the alien floats behind Kaori*
<Sara> * Kaori feels a chill go up her spine
<Alicia> <Asha> "... wait, what?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "OK, explain. Now."
<Seraphna> Si> He was a technician here on the PAX up until the Black Hole War.
<DeathStar> <Alien> Hm. *looks around, barely paying attention*
<Seraphna> Si> Then he got caught out in space between blackness and Legacy Blood, and well, here he is.
<Seraphna> Si> We figured he could best identify who he's in.
<DeathStar> <Alien> Kitty and the others told me the path I was on in the future I would become bad
<Seraphna> Si> By the looks of things, the real Gartareh figured out our move first.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "..head...hurting..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You know we've had to sit through a lot of mumbo jumbo before, but that's got to be the most confusion pair of sentences I've ever heard.
<Seraphna> Si> Well the older Gartareh.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I barely understood any of that, but I think I got the basics. This is the Gartareh who's still a good guy."
<Seraphna> Si> Look, this is the young and innocent Gartareh. He's here to help us stop his alternate evil seld.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Is there anyone who can vouch for this cloud thing and Si?
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuuu. **she frowns**
<Xanatos> <Valen> Was Yuki on that? 6* He comms Yuki
<Seraphna> **Thena pops out of Kaelan's Kimono** I can. I was there when he was born.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hey was there a good Gartareh who looks like a cloud now?
<Xanatos> (comme to yuki)
<Seraphna> **Chibi Thena, that is**
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It's before my time. But according to the recods, when Taiga was a little kid
<DeathStar> <Yuki> They changed the future by changing Gartareh in our present
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... with love
<Seraphna> Si> Love and Peace! **she puts up a peace sign** Now. Let's figure out where that teleporter took them.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Sounds legit."
<Jackieness> <Moira> So... how did he become crazy evil then?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> *c* Gross. Well okay we're bringing him and Si to you, and a teleporter device. I have bad news but it looks like Lorelei and Taiga are already fighting. Lots of blood in Taiga's room right now.
<Seraphna> Si> Thousands of years and a corrupt future filled with crazy paraevolutionary Suisens.
<DeathStar> *the alien looks bored and begins to float away*
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm lost aga-wait, come back!"
<Seraphna> Si> Heyyyy you. Stick with me.
<Sara> <Erica> With.. with love, you say. And this was before Maka was part of this reality?
<DeathStar> *Yuki turns to Erica and shrugs* They were little kids
<Sara> * A long sigh can be heard from Erica
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs and examines the teleporter to try and get it's last destination port**
<Sara> <Erica> ...I see
<Xanatos> <Valen> Alright Team Valen, let's go hopefully save someone from dying. 6* He turns and takes the device from Simon, marching towards Erica's ship. He calls and updates Andrea on the way.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Love can change people."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Song 11: Discovery
<DeathStar> *with everyone together, they study the teleporter piece and try to figure out where Taiga and Lorelei went*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well I have bad news. *she announces*
<DeathStar> *Lenny is there, eyes closed - Lenny being Lenneth's grandkid*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Do put it sensitively, mother..."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I know who attacked Dusk
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Who was it?
<Alicia> * Celeste stands by Lenny, looking over the group
<Xanatos> <Valen> Can it please not be Lorelei?
<DeathStar> Song 11-2: Discovery 2
<DeathStar> <Andrea> They had blonde hair
<Seraphna> **Kaelan facefaults**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Blonde hair isn't exactly rare."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin has arrived once he found out there was trouble. He and Simon are standing there listening to Andrea. Pepper sits at her console mostly ignoring everyone as she has slowly drifted back to sleep.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...anythign else to help them, mother?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Rules out Taiga though.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well, blonde hair and tails. So unless Yuki is the big bad!
<DeathStar> *Yuki coughs*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, Yuki... are you?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So... Lorelei by process of elimination.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ....
<DeathStar> *Lumi frowns* Mom
<Xanatos> <Valen> Or...Miyuki?
<DeathStar> Song 12: Decision
<Seraphna> Si> As if attacking her in her room wasn't a give away.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The worst case scenario."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Time out... we're not even sure it actually was Lore."
<Xanatos> <Valen> How hard is it to do illusion magic and change the way you look? Assuming it wasn't some goddamn shapeshifter.
<Seraphna> Si> She just happens to be missing and off ship right after Taiga vanishes on a teleporter.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Good point
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It could be a shapeshifter
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe someone grabbed them both."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't want it to be Lorelei either, but..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Look, I believe it probably is Lorelei and if so us with the mark is probably pretty fucked. But I can't help but feel like this is all a plant.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It could be anyone then. I don't know. But we need to find them.
<DeathStar> <Ren> If it is my aunt. Why hasn't she used the mark yet
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Right... if it were ore, would we be feelign somethign now?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Against you
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses** Because she can't.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I've had a God in my very Marked body before. They couldn't use it either. I think it's tied to who we are in essence, not our bodies.
<DeathStar> *the teleporter device seems to go to the station. Meanwhile, the PAX and the Alliance Fleet is preparing to go to Geyze to defend it*
<DeathStar> *the Dark Fleet nearing it*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Good news bad news then.
<DeathStar> <Ren> We got it. Lorelei and Taiga are on ASteroid C
<DeathStar> <Ren> Which Taiga closed off to us
<Seraphna> Si> Urk... I hope they're both still alive then... Taiga left very creative traps on there.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Interesting. Where's Durt?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...conveniently enough too."
<Alicia> * Charlotte listens in to the bug she set up earlier, as best she can.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah, where IS Durt?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hey, cHIP, where is Durt?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> *seems distracted* Scanning
<Seraphna> Si> I guess I'm getting us onto the station then. **sighs** Damnit be okay Taiga.
<DeathStar> *Mireille meanwhile is in the Aquarius and has it powered up*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We could fly there but it'll take time. Unless there's another way to get us there
<Xanatos> <Simon> I could request a spirit to teleport us. But I do not ask of this favor often.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Risk using this teleporter?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I was just about to say that we have the teleporter."
<Seraphna> Si> A teleporter, just like they took. The traps might be sprung but if not I should be able to protect us. I think. Assuming she considered me for the traps.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... Be safe then. I'm going to stay here and prepare to protect Geyze. <Lenny> As am I.
<DeathStar> *Yuki pulls Ren close* Go protect our Mom
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'll be on Geyze protecting it too. They're not screwing with my home.
<DeathStar> *Ren nods and hugs Yuki*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So found Durt yet?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> I shall go to Geyze as well if you all have other means. 6* He bows and moves to leave with Jaime.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> He was last seen spying on Taiga
<Jackieness> <Moira> *glances at the others*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I swear if it's him and he has them both I'm going to enjoy kicking his hard skinned ass.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I..." *looks to Lenny* "I'd like to go and deal with Gartareh, if that's alright with you?"
<Seraphna> Si> Well we've determined nothing so far. Let's get to the ass kicking portion of this adventure.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pulls out a pistol and then takes the teleporter device, holding it out so they're ready to use it.
<DeathStar> <Lenny> *nods* Very well, my Knight. Good luck
<Seraphna> **Kaelan gets her sword ready and Si fixes her punching gloves**
<Seraphna> Si> I'd... better take point till we're fully on board.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Lets go. Once we're done with Gartareh, I'm going back to Geyze but we're not done yet."
<DeathStar> Song 13: Fire Path
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Right... unless they beat the dark Ones before we get back."
<DeathStar> *Andrea touches Valen*
<DeathStar> *and seems to do something, transferring a dark aura to him*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Good luck
<DeathStar> *she steps back, showing her vampiric teeth*
<Seraphna> *Si closes her visor and fixes her hero cloak** Alright Valen, let's go.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks and then nods slowly, moving over to touch the teleporter that Kellin has.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Are you really going to go like its Halloween, mother?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'm staying for the battle here.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Redy."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Good luck everyone
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I meant the teeth, mother."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods, the sword blazes with light in response, being Truth**
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> 6* Those going on the rescue team, they arrive on the Station, which seems to be already in red alert. Parts of it damage. As they arrive, another alarm goes off and a timer begins to count down
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and peers around for something to turn it off**
<DeathStar> *Ren jerks* Trap
<DeathStar> *Si would see a device to the side with a pass code*
<Seraphna> **Si moves over, tapping into Taiga's thoughts as she does to see if she can enter the passcode**
<DeathStar> *it'd be a passcode that Si would know*
<DeathStar> *But the timer is already at 4
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...not a surrise, really..."
<DeathStar> 3
<Seraphna> **Si enters it then**
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> *it stops*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Si, cna you pull up any records or logs? What happened here?"
<DeathStar> *as Moira asks that, the Station shakes*
<Seraphna> Si> Ah, the usual. Okay. Let's get butt kicking. **she frowns and focuses on Taiga and starts to move** Mini Taiga AI! Let us know what happened.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess balances herself as it shakes
<DeathStar> Song 14: Station 1
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "All that effort placing a bug, and I forget to monitor it..."
<Sara> * Kaori wobbles
<Chaintan> <Hess> fuck what was that
<Seraphna> Si> I'd say it's at least two powerful people fighting.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen feels for Lorelei now that they're here.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan moves forward, pinging for Lore**
<DeathStar> *as Hess asks that, Taiga slams through Hess' favorite vending machine. The team with God Pings can feel it in here*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Quesiton is which is really which!" *tries to lock on a God ping*
<Alicia> * Celeste moves forwards, followed by Asha
<DeathStar> *Taiga stands up, covered in soda and spitting up blood*
<Seraphna> **Si slides over to help her** Fuuu! Careful love, you might break something!
<DeathStar> *As Lorelei looms over her and lifts her weapon*
<Alicia> * Celeste moves to block the weapon
<Seraphna> **Si leaps up and kicks at Lore's arm**
<Chaintan> <Hess> Taiga! Lorelai!
<Xanatos> <Valen> STOP!
<DeathStar> <Lumi> *rushes in*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ah. ... you caught up
<Seraphna> Si> Told you I would.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sorry it took so long."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess lifts her hands1 <Hess> [BAD LUCK]
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin begins to charge up his pistol, glancing between the two carefully before taking his time to look around for any third party
<Seraphna> **Kaelan watches from a distance, trying to pick out the God**
<Alicia> * Asha smells the air, searching for the scent of a third party
<DeathStar> *Lorelei peers at them, then points* You need to pin her down.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen focuses on Taiga, trying to see if the god ping is there.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *also looks around for a sign of Durt*
<Seraphna> Si> Hey Gar! Wanna tell us who is who!?
<DeathStar> *the alien floats and zooms around Taiga*
<DeathStar> *as if sniffing her*
<DeathStar> *Taiga whispers to Si*
<DeathStar> *then floats to Lorelei and sniffs. It turns* It's. *Lorelei grabs the alien cloud*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps tendrils around Lorelei**
<Chaintan> <Hess> let it go Lore
<Alicia> * Celeste turns to point her blade at Lorelei
<Jackieness> <Moira> *leaps and tries to strike Lore with the flat of her blade*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei looks like she's about to absorb it when they do that. The cloud retrats with a sequeal*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen can't move, just staring in disbelief.
<Seraphna> **Si nods and frowns, focusing** What do you need me to do love?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Gartareh, let our Momma go.
<DeathStar> *Taiga hits a button and blows up more of the station, dropping Lorelei a few decks down*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Get New-Gar to safety!"
<Seraphna> **Si shields the rest from any blast flames**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan lets go before she falls with her and instead grabs Garterah the Good*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin lets out a low whistle and leaps down to follow Lorelei. "I'll keep her busy!"
<Seraphna> **Thena floats Moira up**
<DeathStar> Song 15: Station 2
<Chaintan> 6*Hess follows after Kellin to back up
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves to a console* I'll set up a trap
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wooo... for reals..."
<DeathStar> *the good Gartareh moves to hide*
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6* He stares at the ground, slowly chewing on the inside of his lip.
<Sara> * Kaori follows after Hess in turn
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Guys, I speak from experience, we're going to have to beat her up enough that Lorelei can get her own body back.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "...understood."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Remember what damaging Harbinger did for me.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei climbs up slowly after them when suddenly she stops*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Beat her up, but don't kill her. Got it!"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what just happened?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I think Lore's been fighting this whole time.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Taiga blew out the floor."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So what do we do now?"
<DeathStar> *suddenly their marks act up and the group drops as Lorelei rises up*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan, Si and Thena all drop**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...cr...crap..."
<Alicia> <Asha> "I got this!" *rushes Lorelei, striking at her*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess nabs Kaori and ripples up
<Xanatos> 6* Valen, already conflicted drops without resistance.
<Sara> <Kaori> Good grief
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin tchs and climbs back up too, oh he'll get there someday.
<Seraphna> **Thena growls and tries to resist, forming a markless double if she ca**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei uses her angel blade and blocks it* Taking the Angel was already troublesome. The one who defeated me last time, and she's fought me every step of the way even if she hasn't realized it.
<DeathStar> *Kellin catches up behind Lorelei*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *Hess and Kaori arrive behind Lorelei*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Lore... keep... fighting him... it's your mind not his!
<DeathStar> *Taiga sets the self-destruct*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Sup. 6* He shoots hyperspace shots for her back.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> REALLY glad I stuck to my loner ways and never got one of those mark things.
<Chaintan> 6*catching up, Hess levels another [Bad Luck] at Lore but withdraws as Kellin takes the shot
<DeathStar> *Lorelei drops and the marks let go. Infact the marks change a bit, as if turning off*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *rises up* "...we ned to get that monster out of her."
<Alicia> * Celeste swings her sword at Lorelei, water forming on the blade as she does.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan hops up** Hah! Good Momma! **She picks up truth who sparks back to life and leaps at Lore**
<Chaintan> <Hess> Kao? get me an opening?
<Xanatos> <Valen> EVEN WITH ALL THE EVIDENCE I STILL TRUSTED YOU. I FELT SO GUILTY ABOUT WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE TREE THAT I GOT A TATTOO TO MAKE UP FOR IT.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You fucking stood there and let it all happen, probably laughing the whole time.
<Seraphna> **Thena pats Valen** Calm... it's Gartareh who decieved you, not Lore. We need to save her.
<Sara> <Kaori> I will try. *she moves to distract and attacks with Fox Fire*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *just coughs lightly at the mention of the tattoo*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei rises and kneels, forming a blade and stabs herself in the gut at the same Kaori and Celeste attack*
<ChadWinters`> 6Several stun shots come out from a side hallway aimed at Lorelei.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan tries to smack the sword aside too**
<DeathStar> *Taiga returns as a coutndown begins*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... I--- What just happened
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Self inflected...she fighting in there?
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt stands there, several pieces of metal sticking out of him near vital points, his muscles tensed as he uses the wall to hold himself up
<Seraphna> Si> Lore and Gar are fighting while Gar fights us all.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei rises and heals the wounds* Hm, there. Asleep. Finally.
<Xanatos> <Valen> GRAH. 6* He runs forward and charges his lightning spell, this time around his fist as he goes in for a lightning punch.
<Seraphna> Si> **leaps and kicks at Lore**
<Seraphna> Si> Then I guess she needs to WAKE UP!
<Jackieness> <Moira> *tries to feel out if the God ping is dominant first*
<DeathStar> Song 16: The Fall of One
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin places his hand inside his pocket and then tosses a stim towards Durt.
<DeathStar> *Loelei fcharges up and slams attacks into everyone*
<DeathStar> *aiming to kill them*
<DeathStar> *even as Valen and SI's attacks spin her*
<Seraphna> **Truth forms her body and Shields them all**
<Alicia> * Celeste helps shield the group with her own power
<Xanatos> 6* Valen is knocked back and struggles to form his shield, widening it as a third backup shield. since Truth and Celeste are doing their thing.
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt drops the gun to grab the stim and slam it in him as the attack hits him, driving the pieces in further, a scrapping noise being heard.
<Seraphna> Si> Wake up Lore! FIGHT! **she aims her hand and pours fight at her**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan meanwhile lands and draws her own sword now**
<Alicia> * Asha launches a firebird at Lorelei, before moving to strike physically
<Seraphna> *fire, not fight
<Jackieness> <Moira> *then darts forward after Gar's attack and uses her Twin Heavens technique to try to overwhelm them*
<DeathStar> Song 18: Station Collapse and Gartareh
<DeathStar> *at that moment the 2 minute countdown begins from Taiga's actions.
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt's eye turn a white as his skin turns reddish, activating Rage of Lyssa on Garterah/Lore
<DeathStar> *the station shudderingU*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *staggers and moves slowly*
<Seraphna> **Thena frowns, then begins gathering energy for a teleport**
<DeathStar> *healing*
<Sara> * Kaori restores Hess' [Bad Luck] for her, using her Player Two Press Start ability
<Seraphna> Si> You can't have my cousin you jerk!
<Alicia> * Charlotte pours energy into Thena, to support her teleport
<DeathStar> *Lorelei eyes Hess and KAori*
<Seraphna> Thena> Everyone, get close to me as soon as you can! We need to go.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen restores his templar lightning and throws it out for Lorelei, tears on the edges of his eyes as he grits his teeth.
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt starts to move towards Lorelei now, a waver around him as if his body is turning the his sweat into steam
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What about Lorelei?!"
<Alicia> <Celeste> "But what about Lorelei?!"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei grabs a piece of the station and throws it at Hess to stop her from bad lucking ehr*
<DeathStar> *aiming to impale her*
<Seraphna> Si> I think she'll take care of herself!
<DeathStar> *right as Valen shocks her*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei kneels, the God Ping stopping*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess ripples through to reach for Lore
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin shifts to aim and fire to knock the station piece off course from Hess.
<Seraphna> **Si stomps and forms a fire pillar under Lore**
<Chaintan> <Hess> BAD
<Seraphna> **Si stops when the ping stop**
<Seraphna> Si> Lore...?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... ... *reaches and reactivates the marks*
<Xanatos> <Valen> NO!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...she's back in control for the moment..."
<DeathStar> *and seems to be doing something to protect the marks*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess grasps for what she can of Lore
<Alicia> <Celeste> "How do we keep Lorelei in control?"
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks, and closes her eyes, using her powers to bolster Lore's mind against Gartareh temporarily**
<Seraphna> Thena> Dunno... but... can buy her till I gotta teleport us all.
<DeathStar> *Taiga coughs up blood and eyes the timer* 30 secons left
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We're almost out of time!"
<Seraphna> **Si touches Taiga and gives her regeneration to her**
<Alicia> * Charlotte closes her eyes, using a point of ability to restore her Sin of Lust move to bolster Lore's mind
<Xanatos> <Valen> Give me back my mom! 6* He says desperately, burning another recharge of the templar lightning to throw at Lorelei again.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan starts picking up Durt and carrying him to the others**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin has backed up to Taiga and the others now.
<Seraphna> ((You're doing that while she's in control?))
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Valen, cool it!"
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That's Lore, not Gartareh! Cool it!"
<Seraphna> **Si's ears wilt, but she seems to pump all her energy into Taiga now**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks and lets it dissipate, wiping at his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> S-Sorry Valen. *she falls over*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Someone grab her.
<Alicia> * Celeste moves to grab Lore
<Jackieness> <Moira> *runs over and tries to pick up Lorelei*
<DeathStar> *the station begins to collapse*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We need to go now*
<Alicia> * Celeste nods to Moira, assisting
<Seraphna> **kaelan wraps her up in tendrls as Thena starts teleporting them all out**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves Lore over to Taiga*
<DeathStar> *Taiga takes Lorelei* Well, at least we got her and I didn't have to blast her into nothing. *she then passes out on Lorelei*
<DeathStar> *right as the yarrive back on the PAX
<Seraphna> **Si wobbily picks up Taiga** She... took a fatal blow fighting Lore. I need to get her to Medical.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We need to keep Gartareh suppressed until we cna remove him."
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and teleports again, this time just the three of them**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen falls to his knees and breathes heavy, then scrambles over to Lorelei and lift her up in his arms. He tries to focus on the dark aura to see if maybe that can help him sense Gartareh.
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt collapses to the ground, blood starting to seep around the shrapnel now.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks between Lore and Taiga, releasing Lore
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'll take this idiot to medical. 6* He lifts Durt up with a grund, wobbling before moving on.
<Chaintan> <Hess> Si, lets go, I can get us to medical
<Seraphna> **Si has teleported awya with Thena**
<Alicia> <Celeste> *looks to Moira* "You did great. Those moves seem familiar, though."
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks pale and her tails tick a bit*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei seems to have Gartareh clawing to awaken; Lorelei seems to be using all her pwoer to put him in a box*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... don't you dare die..."
<Seraphna> **Si rushes her to a medical bed and Jennifer is soon there and working on her**
<DeathStar> *Ren looks panicked; the PAX right now is over Geyze doing war stuff, which we will get to in a moment*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Familiar?"
<DeathStar> *Cuddles looks up at Lorelei and Taiga*
<Seraphna> Si> **slumps, seeming to be giving nearly all of her own energy and life force to keep Taiga, a sliver held back, but that's for someone else**
<Alicia> * Celeste nods. "I can't say how or why, but... I could've sworn I've seen them before."
<Sara> <Kaori> ...This is all awful *she says to Hess*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen continues to work on the dark aura that Andrea applied to him, trying to figure out if it's something he can tap into here or if it was just more of a good luck gift.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer starts using spirit magic and her medical skills to get Taiga treated, and the PAX tech of course.**
<DeathStar> *Cuddles opens Taiga' armor and there's a gut wound from Lorelei's sword*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess makes a face, then looks to Kaori
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Idiot
<Seraphna> Jennifer> It's bad... but we can still save her. **She says determined**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...well, I've got some kenjutsu and destreza..."
<Chaintan> <Hess> Mom...said that when Taiga was young...she could turn into a fox...maybe she needs something more
<DeathStar> *Valen would see it's the power of Dusk; so it can help Lorelei from the box*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer eyes the readings** So far Si is keeping her from death's door using her own life... we'd better repair this with the window we have.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen reaches out to take Lorelei's hands, focusing to try everything he can to help her, primarily the aura but anything to do with the mark including burning it up to give it's power back to Lorelei.
<Sara> * Kaori frowns, unsure what to do but wishing she could help
<Seraphna> **Kaelan closes her eyes and holds Lore's hand, trying to help as best she can too**
<DeathStar> *Cuddles nods* Well if you foxes know any tricks it cna't hurt.
<Seraphna> **Thena resumes trying to help Lore shield her mind from Gartareh**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I mean, I could make her a dark one.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Human-ish chain..." *reaches out to take a hold of valen's hand*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei soon seems to be resting better*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *sits, looking panicked*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan then moves over to help with Taiga, giving her some of her foxfire**
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> Song 20: Second War Starts
<DeathStar> *Yuki flies the Aquarius, with the PAX close by, over Geyze*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Wheee!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *looks worried about the others* At times like this I wonder how mom, Kitty and Miyuki *since she was mentioned* Did all this
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Do we get hazard pay for a time like this? 6* She jokes
<DeathStar> *Mireille scans the area; the Giant Dark One Ship hovers over Geyze, with the seeds*
<DeathStar> *the Empress appears on the screen* <Empress> If we can we need to take out the Seed Ship.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Lots of hazard pay I imagine. Okay, so from what we know, we need to stop those seeds.
<DeathStar> *Andrea has gone down to the surface*
<Seraphna> Cookie> If they touch down they will quickly start to infect Geyze.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I wonder how that'll affect the Spirits
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well Shade probably won't complain.
<DeathStar> *as they talk, the Dark Ships launch and begin to attack the PAX and some head for the Aquarius*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is definitely with Andrea.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Incoming!
<Seraphna> **Cookie sets up targetting patterns and gets ready, opening fire**
<DeathStar> Song 21: Target Geyze and PAX
<Jackieness> <Noire> *has accompanied her mother to the surface*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Well I'm stronger now than last time
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper seems aghast at Cookie stealing her thunder.
<Sara> <Erica> Full battlestations!
<Seraphna> Cookie> Together babe! I'm synching out minds!
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hive mind couple, full blast!
<DeathStar> *Mireille brings up various new techniques for them to use - including the Mireille Dark Special, Dark Go Away, Light Blast, etc*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Ooooo. 6* She begins to work with Cookie to target and fire.
<Seraphna> **Cookie activates her Battle Meditation for the team**
<DeathStar> *a Dark Ship launches it's tendrils at the Aquarius, slamming into the shields and trying to drill into it*
<Seraphna> **Cookie fires a pattern along the tendril to knock it away and explode it**
<DeathStar> *while the PAX blasts away a few with it's canons, heading for the Seed ship; meanwhile a seed drops onto Geyze*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Modulating shields to resist, captain."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Booo! It cheated! **she shifts some of the guns to try and take out the seed**
<DeathStar> *the shields repel it and the attacks destroy it easily compared to the last time they faced them*
<Sara> <Erica> Keep it up, Cookie, Airym.
<DeathStar> *more Dark Ships swarm them, getting in the way of the shots*
<Seraphna> **Cookie's eyes unfocus and she starts reacting to things seconds ahead of time, going Ace of Spades**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> They're being really annoying!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Captain, a dark seed has been deployed against Geyze."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The PAX is not being able to get near the Seed Ship.
<Sara> <Erica> That's extremely bad. We need to stop it.
<Seraphna> **Cookie sends targetting patterns to Pepper that seem entirely off, only things fly into where the shots go**
<DeathStar> *she announces as they take out more ships. Suddenly a new type of ship arrives, that moves faster and has stronger weapons; it looks like it was designed to combat the stronger Aquarius*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> We have a Mark II Ship.
<Sara> <Erica> Sigh, how convenient
<Seraphna> Cookie> Shifting focus to defensive measures... sending information on it's attacks before it fires, please compensate.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Scannign new combatant now."
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper seems impressed at Cookie's forthought but also very worried because she knows what it does to her.
<DeathStar> *As they near the Seed Ship, it's massive size dwarfing them by many times, the new ship -- is still weaker*
<DeathStar> *just as fast*
<DeathStar> *The Seed Ship however, is stil lstronger*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> This new ship seems pretty nasty.
<DeathStar> *the Mark II zooms around them, peppering them with attacks*
<DeathStar> *while the Seed Ship attacks the PAX*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am compensating for their attacks and speed."
<Seraphna> **Cookie compensates, trying to get ahead of it in time to react to it's speed**
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper fires in response using as much of Cookie's help as she can give.
<DeathStar> *Cookie knicks it and and Pepper destroys it, leaving the Seed Ship*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> If we could slow it down we could try the Dark Go Away!
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Woo, nevermind!
<DeathStar> *the giant seed Ship's massive guns begin to aim at them*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I don't see a weak point.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That thing is so big we could fly inside it
<Xanatos> <Pepper> What's the strongest movie Mire!? We can shoot it right up that gun!
<Seraphna> **Cookie wipes some blood from under her nose and frowns** Maybe that's the weak point.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The Seed ship is locking on, captain."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Can't shoot us from the inside.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Our strongest attack is Mireille and Erica Love Beam
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... From now on we're naming the attacks
<Sara> <Erica> ... *deadpan*
<Sara> <Erica> Well, fire it
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Let's do it!
<Seraphna> Cookie> I demand a cool attack named after me.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper aims...at the gun? She glances questioningly to Cookie.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> There is one. The High Beam
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods and passes data to Pepper**
<Sara> <Erica> Pfffft
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I bet that one gives cool vibes.
<DeathStar> *the Seed Ship fires and the shields drop and the ship shakes*
<DeathStar> *consoles spark*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Now or never.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Shields are down, captain."
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper shields her face and then fires the Mireille and Erica Love Beam back at the gun to retaliate.
<DeathStar> *the ship glows and fires all it's power into the attack*
<DeathStar> *leaving them without power while it has to reboot. Even Mireille goes quiet*
<DeathStar> *the major weapon on the left side blows up*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> ...well that's concerning.
<DeathStar> *there's now a huge hole; the seed ship begins to retreat*
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius powers back up*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Enemy is withdrawing."
<Xanatos> <Pepper> ...you okay Mire?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Huhhhh? Yeah.... Just tired
<Seraphna> **Cookie takes a breath** The plus side is we don't show up on radar when we're off. **she starts looking forward and readies the ship to move** Do we chase or do we retreat? We've held off for Geyze already.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> You okay Cook? 6* she checks out her nose.
<DeathStar> *Yuki looks at Erica for orders*
<Seraphna> **Cookie wipes it clean again** Yeah, I was just using the 3 second window.
<Sara> <Erica> Let them go, we still have our obligations not to commit war crimes here
<Sara> <Erica> ...Even if I doubt they appreciate that
<DeathStar> *Yuki nods*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> Song 22: Seed of Geyze
<DeathStar> *The Seed has landed near the Academy and the landscape begins to look corrupted*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *stands on top of the Sasha's building, overlooking the area as trees begin to look wrong*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ...
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and stops the ground, starting to fight back against it, adding hyperspace** Stop. That. Thing. NOW.
<Seraphna> **stomps
<ChadWinters`> 6Id has accessed the local area to better direct people from the area's sensors.
<DeathStar> *A student rushes to stop it and when they touch the land - is turned into a monster*
<DeathStar> *Andrea approaches the seed*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We have to do something!"
<DeathStar> <Rain> ...
<Seraphna> **Alita forms a fireball and hurls it towards the seed**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "What-...?"
<Alicia> * Sparkling moves to launch a magical blast at the seed
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *orders an evacuation of the impacted area*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How do we proceed, mother?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> What in the world is that? This is the war we signed up for?
<DeathStar> *Selena leaps down*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon stands with his spear ready, frowning at the lost student.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus bounces from heel to heel.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Simon please keep a distance.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's the war we're getting."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> We need to destroy the seed completely while avoiding the corrupted areas.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright, don't touch the goop. 6* He yells out.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias slams into the ground beside Marcus, leaving a small crater.
<Seraphna> **Jaime is shifting earth to make the spead harder, burning out sections of tainted ground as she goes**
<DeathStar> *the corrupted landscape spreads from the seed, turning anything it touches into this Dark One landscape. But worse. Trees, ground, anything. Gnome stares horrified*
<DeathStar> <Gnome> I feel sick
<Xanatos> 6* Simon lets out a breath of frost and kneels to begin focusing, forming his ice wall...horizontally to give people something to stand on.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This is my first time, so I'll have to follow your lead."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Did you rest up enough?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We have to resist it love. We can't let it win.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey I told you Dias would be back. Nah I feel like shit so this should be interesting.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And how do you keep showing up form no wher?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "This is horrifying... do we need some sort of artillery for that thing?"
<Xanatos> 6* BIX runs up and pulses with heat energy, outlined in his usual red.
<Seraphna> **Alita combines with Brooke and starts to work purifying waters against the spread too** We could really use that Earth Dark Spirit.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Fighting at a handicap huh? 6He laughs. 1"Then I won't use my right arm.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Use both arms!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'm not sure
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Why don't you just use your left thumb?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Maybe I could touch it when I'm in my Hapian Royality mode
<DeathStar> *Andrea grabs a healthy tree and throws it into the corrupted area and leaps onto the tree before it goes corrupted, landing on the top*
<DeathStar> *she goes into her adult form*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oh? 6He eyes his left thumb and undoes the bandage around it, exposing a normal thumb with a bit of dark tattoo on it.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Challenge accepted.
<Seraphna> **Alita uses Brooke and Shiva in unison to form large ice missles and fires them for the seed**
<Xanatos> 6* BIX begins to throw blasts of flame at the seed.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "That... sounds risky."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon continues to focus on forming a layer of ice that people can stand on even as the corruption expands.
<DeathStar> *Andrea slams into the seed with attacks with everoyne else, each attack damages it, revealing a core slowly*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias leaps after Andrea.
<DeathStar> *Lenny meanwhile appears*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Simon, support everyone on the ground. Make sure anyone that falls has something safe to land on.
<DeathStar> *it looks like the ice on the ground works*
<DeathStar> *for a brief time*
<Seraphna> **Jaime keeps doing her best to slow the spread, scooping out land so it has longer to travel, more to go against, blasting especially thick areas** Can't... keep this up forever.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias leaps over Andrea, his body spinning as he slams his thumb into the seed with full force.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I see Simon's tactic works. So laying stuff on top of it can work
<Jackieness> <Noire> *leaps on to her own vantage point, using dark tendrils to lob debris at the seed*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon quietly nods just trying to keep the ice ahead of the corruption. Using up most if not all of his mana here.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It appears for a short bit, the corruption needs to spread up it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hrm... **she Summons Salamander** Go help burninate that thing.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Don't touch the gunk.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Ideally a strong psionic holding them in the air would be the most effective.
<DeathStar> *after some rolls, they expose the core*
<Alicia> * From darkness, rises a familiar figure, pushing back the corruption, at least a little. <Kyouki> "Am I late?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus' body shifts and cracks, arms and leges elongating and hair growing as he turns into his werewolf form. He lets out a loud howl and leaps to the seed with Dias and Andrea.
<DeathStar> *Kyouki and Jaime push back the corruption*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Momma Kyo, beat up the seed, it's upsetting my wife!
<DeathStar> <Andrea> There, the core. We need one good attack
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Dias, use your thumb!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Will a blast of pissed off hyperspace do?
<DeathStar> *Sylph looks wary*
<DeathStar> *peering at Ellie*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Jump SLAM. 6* He motions to Dias.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I don't like that
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Sure. *to both*
<Ariel> * Nicolette flies closer so she's not touching the ground, and then attempts to use a card to summon chains to pull the seed open to better expose the core.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus grabs Dias and leaps up into the air, shifting around as the apex to throw Dias back down towards the seed.
<DeathStar> *the chains rip the core completely open, so anyone can hit it*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias is sent rocketing towards the core as he twists in the air like a drill, with his left thumb held out towards the core.
<DeathStar> *it also slows the corruption to nothing; it looks like ripping the core completely open stalls it. Lenny meanwhile begins to touch things and cleans up the corruption*
<Seraphna> **Jaime stomps and launches herself in the air with a stone pillar, then holds out both hands and uses her powered Hyp;erspace Blast**
<DeathStar> *the combined attacks from the people decimates the core. It leaves behind the corruption, but it's gone. Lenny keeps up her clean up work*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> There. Not bad
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Not bad at all."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...well... he really did it with his thumb."
<DeathStar> *a sarcastic clap is heard*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias rips out the opposite side, smoking from the hyperspace, as he slides across the ground.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon kneels, pulling out a handkerchief to dab at his forehead.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix lets out a confused sound as he looks around for the clapping.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "And... they mass produce those things?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> You did well, Simon.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lands with a thud beside Andrea.
<Seraphna> **Jaime lands and pants, her hands steaming from the heat but bearing no burn marks**
<DeathStar> *Andrea turns and moves over to Nicolette, going back to her teen form* Yes.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> And they might try this world again. *she looks up at the clapping*
<DeathStar> *standing there is a figure that looks exactly like Andrea, though her hair looks more grayish*
<DeathStar> Song 23: Dark Battle and Dark Copy
<Seraphna> Jaime> You have the tempo of your dramatic clapping intro off by three measures.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias turns towards the clapping, looking at the copy Andrea.
<Seraphna> Talia> It's... It's... AREDNA!
<DeathStar> <Person> Oh my. I'm sso sorry. *she bows her head sarcastically*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... what? *she eyes Talia*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias sniffs the air for a moment, as he sizes up the person. 1"You the one running this campaign?
<Seraphna> Talia> She's another you so is Andrea backwards. Aerdna.
<Seraphna> Talia> This is perfectly logical!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *leaps down to land next to Andrea* "Hmmmm..."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ??? 6* He just looks confused.
<Sara> <Ellie> That's... uncreative. *she notes, looking at Sylph*
<Seraphna> Talia> It is super genius!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You don't just reverse someone's name to make a copy."
<DeathStar> *the person eyes Dias, and she laughs playfully* Oh I like that. *she appears behind Dias* I can see why you kept this one as a pet
<Seraphna> Talia> Do too!
<DeathStar> *Andrea eyes the other person* You're like me
<Xanatos> <Simon> Lady Andrea, can you explain who this is?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> She was created like I am. A Dark One homonculus.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Seem's like you're quick too. 6He notes as he looks over his shoulder.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "If there's an 'Ikuoyk', I'm going to scream. And then break things."
<Xanatos> 6* BIX jerks at the teleport looking to and from andrea and other andrea.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So is she... Bobby?
<DeathStar> *like I was
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I think this just turned into a family matter."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Suppose there's no way this can all end peacefully with you guys going back to your corner?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm sure the newest member of your dark tribe is going to be mad she missed this."
<DeathStar> *The Dark One girl eyes her nails* Hm. I don't know. You plan to adopt me too and make me a good little domesticated pet
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts back into his normal form
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Nah. But if you wanna be a friend and a sparring partner. I wouldn't say no.
<DeathStar> *the Dark One girl eyes Dias. She opens a dark hole like Billy used to do and drop kicks Dias into it*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh
<DeathStar> <Dark One Girl> The adults are talking
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...wow, that's self aware."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *whispers* "Marcus... try to get some of these locals to back off..."
<DeathStar> Song 24: Dark Copy
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> Listen. *she turns to the Geyze people*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias attempts to grab on to the hole edges as he's dropped kicked through
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> Your planet. *she puts her hands on her hips, ignoring Dias, figuring he's gone* We'll be back for it. It's rich with power. *she points at Salamander, who glares. And Sylph. And Gnome*
<Xanatos> <Marucs> Hey do you have a name?
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> Name? *she makes a face*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I figured as much."
<Sara> <Ellie> Power... is overrated. This world and these people are things we love.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I do not believe you will get it without a fight.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I mean we need something to shout in a curse when you get the better of us.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I didn't have a name either until you all gave me one
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> Call me whatever suits you
<Sara> <Ellie> Whatever Suits You is a convoluted name. *she looks at Sylph*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright Bobby. It's going to go like this. You can come back, but we'll continue to drive you back and one day we'll win.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ... I got that!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Bobby.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Name her Xevil... then grandmother can feel vindicated."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias slowly pulls himself out of the black hole, his fingers smoking a bit as blood drips off several of them. 1"Interesting. You've got quite the kick."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "NO! DON'T DO THAT!"
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy Bobby Xevil?>
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I think last time we had to go to your home planet and wreck shop. Suppose it'll come to that again, but it is what it is. You could join the winning team, or you can lose.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "..."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias then cracks his neck. 1"Because of that, I'll give you a second chance to rethink your plans here.
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> ... *she eyes them.* Hm. The fact is, this place is rich with spirit energy that we can use to power our Well. And other devices. And stands between the tree that other factions want
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Are you finished with the gesticulating here?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Really. You come to this planet, under my care, and talk about how it's going to be yours. Could you be any ruder to your superior?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sorry, but that energy is no one's to claim.
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> So why would I think about my faction betraying the others
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> And joining you
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Unfortunately, this planet isn't negotiable.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> There's more than one group again
<DeathStar> *Andrea sighs*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> To be fair there's loads of us too. All just as powerful as the smattering here. And here's the thing, we all work together.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You'd think that the group with the blessing of the Dark Rune spirit would be more popular."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother, our relatives are stupid."
<DeathStar> *Dark Copy eyes Kyouki* Fine. I'l lmake a deal
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> We'll spar and if you win we'll join you
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> Just my faction mind you
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oh? And how do you want to set up this spar?
<DeathStar> *she notes to Noire and Kyouki*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I wouldn't expect you to convince the other factions."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias get's a grin on his face as he starts hopping on his toes
<DeathStar> *the Dark Copy flicks her finger and those in the PAX hospital appear*
<DeathStar> <CuddleS> What?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Wait, what's going on?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> What the hell!?
<DeathStar> Song 25: Countdown to Battle
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt lays there, looking like he's on death's door.
<DeathStar> *Taiga lays there, no longer near hospital equipment*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer frowns. But seeing a golden opportunity, she motions Alita over and others.**
<DeathStar> *The Dark Copy moves to Lorelei and seems to be doing something*
<Seraphna> **Alita rushes over, using a full heal on Taiga as Si slumps giving her everything but what the baby needs**
<Seraphna> **Talia paws at Durt and sniffs, then starts healing him**
<DeathStar> <RAchael> Ah, what is going on?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mother, is this deal wise?"
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias eyes the Dark Copy and a wave of heavy and oppressive energy slams against her. 1"What are you doing?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I have no idea
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I still don;t udnerstand how we arrived at this one."
<Seraphna> **Jennifer works on the three's wounds, now having powerful magic healers with ressurection magic at hand.
<Xanatos> <Valen> What's happening right now!?
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> *seems unphased and pulls something out, holding something in her hand - Gartareh*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id instantly begins scanning those that are in an injured state
<DeathStar> <Dark Copy> Ready?
<Seraphna> Si> Hey! That's our buddy!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is this the... ohhhh. I get it now."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Uh...did she...help?
<Seraphna> **Si flops over**
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I don't think she meant to. But yes.
<DeathStar> *Dark Copy merges with Gartareh and powers herself up*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I imagine she's taking it for herself and is less helping you and more her self.
<DeathStar> <Selena> That is bad right?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Yeah, very bad.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I... yes, probably."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Aw shit. 6* He lifts Lorelei up and moves her back to safety, using his healing magic on her now.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Yes. 6He notes, his stance shifting to a serious one. 1"Sorry, Noire. Lookis like I'm gonna have to use more than my thumb."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...right...of course that happened." *draws her sword*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, this just got tougher than I thought it would."
<Seraphna> **Alita works to make sure Taiga is stable after healing her wounds away, casting Stay Awake to give her the strength to pull through before sitting tired**
<DeathStar> <Ren> *to Kaori* When this is over, tell your mother I'm retiring to her house for my honeymoon
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You destroyed the core with your thumb, so I'll give you credit for that one."
<Seraphna> **Talia keeps pawing Durt back to life**
<DeathStar> *Durt is stablized*
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> if thats what you'd like Ren
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus begins to shift back into wolf form, looking a bit tired before he does. He dashes forward to do a leaping punch at Bobby.
<DeathStar> *Ren squeaks*
<Sara> <Kaori> I-I see
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt is stabilized but doesn't seem like he's gonna be getting up anytime soon, seems like he burned all his energy to keep himself from bleeding out
<DeathStar> *Sylph merges eith Ellie*
<DeathStar> *as if to prove she can do that*
<DeathStar> *giving Ellie wings*
<Alicia> <Asha> "We just have to beat her, right?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin scratches his chin and then fires hyperspace bullets for the dark copy, flanking off to the left away from the others in case area attacks come in.
<DeathStar> *Selena forms her weapon and moves off with Nicolette*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias moves in after Marcus, coming in from the backside.
<Chaintan> 6*Slitheriing out of Hess and Kaori's shadow, the fox woman sniffs the air and scowls before looking towards Taiga
<Seraphna> **Si shivers as the Stay Awake spell starts to restore her own spent energy and stamina, allowing her to keep up Taiga's recovery and properly hold her**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon is still very winded and retreats to the back to conserve energy.
<Seraphna> Si> Don't you dare die on me... not when we've finally gotten together.
<DeathStar> *Bobby uses Gartareh's power to try to protect from hyperspace, since it does double damage to her, but all the attacks just pile on and and send her roling into a hole*
<DeathStar> *wheer she appears behind the team and forms a dark hole to try to crush them*
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki coils a tail around Si
<ChadWinters`> 6Id moves to hide behind Simon, pressing against his back so he isn't sucked in
<Jackieness> <Moira> *turns and leaps to try to get over the hole and slash down with her sword*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias slams his foot into the ground and then his hand to grab on tight
<Seraphna> **Jaime, now recovered, finally moves and leaps up, firing a Hyperblast up into the Dark move**
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> thats enough, anymore and your child will get hurt
<Seraphna> Si> K-Kay...
<Xanatos> 6* Simon sticks his spear into the ground and holds on. Valen forms his shield and holds on to Lorelei trying not to sleep into the hole.
<Alicia> * Celeste readies her sword, charging it up with mana
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki pulls Taiga into her arms and strokes at her to heal her further
<Seraphna> **Luci steps out and forms a barrier around the healing group, giving the wounded a shelter** DRAGOON AEGIS!
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias then slams his other foot into the ground and kicks outwards with his buried left foot, sending ground flying towards Bobby
<DeathStar> *All the healing and Miyuki's healing seems to be finally helping; it seems Taiga's depression over the years has been working against her somewhat, even if she has done better lately*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei is protected by the shield*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX throws fire blasts out towards dark copy to distract.
<Alicia> * Asha launches firebirds at Bobby as she approaches, shifting into werewolf form
<DeathStar> *the Dark Copy's dark hole blows up in it's face and is firebired and attacked by other hits away*
<DeathStar> *rolling*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *finds a safe spot along the perimeter of the battle and begins weaving a hex to debuff the Dark One*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus comes running in, leaping to either pin or drive dark copy further into the ground.
<Seraphna> **Jaime leaps up more, sending another blast of hyperspace at Bobby** Let that boy go!
<DeathStar> *Selena charges with her sword as Lana debuffs it and Selena slashes and Andrea comes in and begins to attack witrh everything she has. The Dark Copy powers up to try to punch through Andrea and Marcus' chest*
<DeathStar> *though Jaime' attack knocks her attacks off some*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias dashes in, his eyes narrowing as he blurs to grab on to and stop/slow down Bobby's punch
<Ariel> * Nicolette isn't sure what to do with a dark one like this, and simply attempts to throw some flash powder in it's face as a distraction
<Jackieness> <Noire> *dark holes just behind the Dark Copy, slashing with her dakr Edge*
<DeathStar> *Dias knocks it off even more and Nicolette blinds it*
<Alicia> * Celeste waits until she has a moment to strike, her sword covered in mana, before launching it in a beam at Bobby
<Seraphna> **Jaime lands and holds up her hands, thrusting them up as two spikes of earth form on either side of her, she then starts punching the air and shards of the stone slice off and go flying at Bobby** You want my planet? HERE'S A TASTE!
<DeathStar> *Lenny comes in and attacks with Celeste. Suddenly the Dark Copy barfs up an evil cloud - Gartareh's form, but unlike the good Gartareh, the cloud is full of evil malice; the Dark Copy is sent flying from the cloud*
<Sara> * Ellie flies around firing arrows at the Dark Copy
<DeathStar> *the Dark Cloud flies off*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Crap!" *turns and charges at the cloud, slashign her own sword*
<Seraphna> **Alita frowns and starts casing a spell to try and contain the spirit, one of the forbidden spells her Tamae taught her**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks amused at all the attacks and fires hyperspace shots for the dark cloud.
<Alicia> * Asha rushes at the Dark Bobby, clawing at her with fire infused claws
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias nods to both Andrea and and Marcus then craters the grounds beneath them as he picks them up. 1"Double Fastball SPECIAL!" 6He hurls them both towards Bobby
<DeathStar> *alita slows the cloud down*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Simon, can you freeze that suspiciously evil looking cloud?"
<Seraphna> Alita> If one of you could please awaken Lady Lorelei...?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I am working on that spell. 6* He tries to do just that, freezing winds whirling around the cloud.
<Alicia> * Charlotte moves to try to do so... without magic. Oh well.
<Seraphna> **Jaime focuses and tries to slow it further with a telepathic burst**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is fast balled with Andrea and tries to throw a big ol punch towards bobby.
<DeathStar> *Andrea flies and Bobby, spitting up dark fluids from the other attacks, is hit and Andrea does some strange glowing attack with all her Dark Energy and drops her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to try to close in to Bobby, letting her Dark Edge sword do its thing*
<DeathStar> *Bobby no longer moving*
<DeathStar> *the cloud begins to grow heavier*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Alright Dusk power, maybe we can get some payback. 6* He holds his hand out, focusing and tries to focus on the cloud hoping to wipe it out with an attack to overwhelm it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *skids to a halt* "...well, what did you do, mother?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, good work everyone."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias then moves in after the two, albeit slower, his left arm erupting in dark energy as it begins to spiral and condense around his fist.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... Nothing nothing. *she wipes her mouth* Just did what I had to do
<Jackieness> <Moira> *is running to try to intercept the cloud as it comes down again*
<DeathStar> *andrea waves her hand*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer checks Lore over** I beleive we need her up to stop this thing permenantly right?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Please."
<Seraphna> **Jennifer pulls out smelling salts and tries to wake her up**
<DeathStar> <Bobby> ... *lays on the ground, growling* Fine fine. We'll work together.
<DeathStar> *Taiga jerks awake and holds onto Miyuki's arm*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Arh?!
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus deforms and lets out a sigh, plopping down on his butt.
<Seraphna> ((That aws for Lore))
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *she eyes Miyukui's arm oddly*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Good to hear it."
<DeathStar> *Loerlei at the same time Lorelei stirs; right as the cloud, seemingly disperses*
<Seraphna> Si> Taigy!? **nuzzles her weakly**
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> what kind of thanks is that?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sends a god ping out to try and track it**
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ... *splits with Ellie* Strange
<Alicia> * Asha cheers, before shifting back to her Fauna form.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki smooshes her into her breast
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I thought I saw the gates of--- Eeep. *she flusters*
<Alicia> * Celeste looks around for where Gartareh went
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances at his hands, really unsure if he did that or not.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias slides above Bobby, the dark energy crackling, his arm pulled back. 1"....Oh?" 6The dark eneregy dissipates
<Sara> <Kaori> Well you're going to be okay now...
<Seraphna> **Si nuzzles her more and fuus** Well you're not allowed to die, never.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Did we get him?!"
<DeathStar> *the ping seems to be gone. Maybe Gartareh purposely scattered himself into tin pieces*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I never really have to do much when we're all gathered up like this. Few pistol shots and it slike "Woo, contributions."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I doubt it... but for now he seems gone.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias lowers his fist down towards her, opening it up in to a hand.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I know the feeling."
<DeathStar> *Bobby takes it and hmphs* Now I jsut have to sell it to my leader
<Seraphna> Kaelan> He winked out the moment Lore woke up, so I think he did something to prolong his chances.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Join the winning side, we have cookies."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Damn shame the dusk power didn't do anything there, but at least it help buy us time.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias helps her up. 1"Well. If they refuse, you're always welcome with this group."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *hangs her head* I ...I'm sorry. When I was in the hallway this morning. He suddenly just grabbed me and forced me to go after Taiga
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> That ws when I realized
<Seraphna> Cookie> **on comms** My ears are burning, did someone mention me?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "It's alright, you're back with us now."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We really have a 'collecting Dark Ones' problem. This is like the 10th one!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> AHEM. PROBLEM?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't think it's a problem!"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...habit?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Well to be fair Marcus, we've only collected one. The others chose to be one.
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "...eh. I don't think Noire chose to be Noire."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mistress Andrea, can I spank them?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey I don't agree with that last statement.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Marcus, watch your tongue."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen kneels by Lorelei, staring at her to see if he can feel any Gartareh.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Well Bobby, hopefully this fight leads to a new understanding between us.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei seems clean. But it's also clear her confidence is shatered*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Bobby. Really."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So what do we do now?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Whatever floats your boat
<Xanatos> <Valen> We go home. Rest up. Wait for the next fight.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lifts up Lorelei and moves for the teleporter.
<Seraphna> *Si hugs onto Taiga and sniffles**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Celebrate, fix up any damage done, rest."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Sigh. I need a tea. 6* He steps off.
<DeathStar> *Taiga puts Si's head
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 
<DeathStar> Song 26
<DeathStar> *As the wounded group returns to the PAX, Taiga leaning on Miyuki, they return in time to see Erevis and the Empress facing each other
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Rut ro.
<DeathStar> *it is clear they have been talking and Erevis' hands are wrapped up*
<Seraphna> *Jaime rushes over to Erevis' side*
<Alicia> * Kyouki hurries over as well
<Xanatos> 6* Xan and Drasek are both there, Xan by Erevis and Drasek more in the middle.
<DeathStar> *Taiga thanks Miyuki and shifts to SI's shoulder*
<DeathStar> *Ren and Yuki stick close to their mom*
<Alicia> * Charlotte watches, but sticks with Ren
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Still think this is too soon, luv. Let's all have even heads here.
<Seraphna> **Si holds her close and nuzzles her** Alright, you're on a break for like a week.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...I know you want me to fight you. Hell, I have been having Wind train me to do so.
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over her hands with concern**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But instead, I will not do it. <Empress> You are running from your true self. You will not get stronger. <Erevis> No. You.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You will teach me what you want me to learn or you can give me back my ship and get out of here
<Xanatos> 6* Xan arches a brow at that.
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and smiles a little, glad her mother at least chose her own path to this.
<DeathStar> <Empress> *crosses her arms* Hm.
<DeathStar> *Andrea meanwhile heads for her room, looking tired*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "A gutsy move, but I approve."
<DeathStar> <Empress> Very well. But I just hope this is what you want. We are too alike in someways.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks alogn with ehr mother* "I have not seen you this drained in some tiem, mother."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mom likes to do things her own way, it's where you're both most similar.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well, I am not an unlimited bundle of power. I just need to sleep a bit,.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias yawns. 1"A shame they didn't atleast arm wrestle.
<DeathStar> *The Empress eyes Dias*
<DeathStar> *Ren hugs onto Charlotte*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Empress. I've got news on the war front.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Oh?
<Alicia> * Charlotte holds Ren close.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then rest well, mother."
<DeathStar> <Empress> *to Xanatos* Which one is he again?
<Seraphna> Jaime> This is my Dad.
<DeathStar> *(she is referring to Dias)
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> We fought against one of them. We called her Bobby. We beat her. She decided to talk about peace with her superiors.
<Seraphna> ((whoop))
<Xanatos> <Xan> Earth President guy.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> There's also factions.
<Seraphna> Jaime> As scary as that sounds.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Factions. *muses* Well that might work to our benefit.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "We may have just recruited one of the Dark One factions. Time will tell."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I just literally said that.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek and Xan both still seem to be in shock from Erevis' decision. Though Xan looks amused.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "As for me...I'll be in my hottub."
<DeathStar> <Empress> *to Kyouki*
<DeathStar> Song 26b: Mystery Sonb
<DeathStar> *Erevis meanwhile grabs her stuff and moves to 1B*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will check in with everyone that I have been out of touch with lately
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks pleased** Athena's got a space planned for you all.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Ya know, good luck finding a president whos' willing to face every galaxy shattering event head on. No...let's just get pencil pushers and cowards who hide behind there troops. 6He huffs as he walks off towards a teleporter
<DeathStar> <Empress> You, Kyouki, should work on using your status to win over that faction
<DeathStar> <Empress> *after Dias leaves* I think my joke got to him
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "It worked better than I expected."
<DeathStar> <Empress> *moves to go the other way than Erevis did*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Blood hell, what a conclusion. 6*He shakes his head in disbelief and walks off.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Told you she always finds her own answer, Empress. **she smiles, then heads after her mother**
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Truly amazing."
<DeathStar> *Taiga returns to her room and sits in the bed, holding her gut and leans back*
<Seraphna> **Si sits by her and gently gives her some of the reserve energy** Now I get to play nurse.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I might be out of commission for a while. I'll leave it to you
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuu, of course love.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 2 Minute Epilogue
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* Lenny stares out over Geyze, sitting on a building and admiring the landscape of Geyze as the corruption is cleaned up. The wind patterns feel a bit off. Sylph studies them
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ...
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Is something wrong?"
<DeathStar> *Celes has Neekito prepare meals and Cloe steals bacon*
<DeathStar> *Cloé holds it in her mouth like a cat, refusing to let it go*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I don't think so. *she eyes the dark clouds to the east and eats a fruit*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Probably nothing.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Lets hope so."
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats about
<Seraphna> **Talia instructs the Familiars to gather all the fish for inspection**
<DeathStar> *Sylph peers and lands on Celeste's head* Lead me to the best girl in the world@!
<DeathStar> *Bonnie deadpans*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> ...
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... Please don't mind my Cloé
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "There's bound to be some left over... wrongness, out there."
<DeathStar> *Cloé shares some it with Chelsea*
<Seraphna> **Talia salutes the army of familiars and begins the great inspection to weed out any evil Dark Fishies**
<DeathStar> *and snuggles with her momma*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I guess you're right
<DeathStar> *Sylph nods*
<DeathStar> *Selena leans over their shoulders* Then we'll beat it
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That's right."
