<DeathStar> Date: Sometime in the Future
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *the younger, teenage Fate walks along with Jikuu and Akatsuki, the three of them strangely friends; along a damaged PAX where Erevis is the Empress. They are on the cusp of what will be the Serpent War and Erevis is preparing to throw everything at it. This is the future Jikuu has grown up in*
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session641
<DeathStar> <Fate> I need to show you two something
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What is it?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> Come. *like a tape speeding up, she takes them to Yggdrasil, where Adeline has retreated to, maintaining the tree for years now after her commands kicked in; there the three meet with Adeline and watch her get controlled by some outside force*
<Alicia> * Akatsuki's mind goes over the possibilities as she watches, joining Jikuu on the trip of discovery
<DeathStar> *afterward, as they return to the PAX, the Serpent War begins that summer, the Serpent's Forces striking out and destroying everything from Geyze, Earth and the PAX begins to go down* <Fate> Jikuu. This is a last cause. Another lost future.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "There has to be something we can do."
<DeathStar> <Fate> The moment Adeline's was taken over and compromised Yggdrasil's core this future was doomed as the Serpent's forces overwhelmed them. But if you make a bargain with me, I might can do something
<DeathStar> Akatsuki of course does a bargain later
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What sort of bargain?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> You have to give something important up and I can use it as fuel to take you into the past. To hopefully help steer events. I cannot interfere too much
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I understand. How important?" *she thinks hard on what she can give up, before agreeing*
<DeathStar> *Erevis' Suisen Forces strain to keep the Serpent's at bay*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I want to join you, but... I don't know what I can, or should, give up..."
<DeathStar> <Fate> What you bargain is a strong emotion usually, Something you care about deeply
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If it can be memories..."
<DeathStar> <Fate> If the memories are important to you, then it can work. Good luck, Jikuu.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: Another Time in the Future
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Akatsuki has been shielded from the time shift that Jikuu has brought about. However, this time, the PAX is in ruins about them, so perhaps recalling the previous future possibility might not be a kindness done to her by Fate. John floats about her in a shuttle*
<DeathStar> *it looks like this time, the Serpent has done even more damage*
<DeathStar> *Fate appears* I have bad news
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "...how bad?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> The PAX will be destroyed in the past and the Serpent's forces have been able to continue onward without anything to stop it. Jikuu died in the Dark War when it was destroyed
<DeathStar> <Fate> You only exist as an anomoly right now due to me
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "... I don't have any choice but to go back, then, do I?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> You coud keep continuing to observe futures with me, but if you want, I could send you back before the PAX's fall*
* Dias` has joined #TAW-Session641
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I'd rather try to change things than just watch."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Then as a bargain, what will you give up?
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "So many options would just hurt my ability to reach Jikuu... but... I can give up my fandom. It's important enough to me, but it won't stop me helping."
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "... I just wonder... does this mean the end of my idol career?"
<DeathStar> *Fate considers* <Fate> I see. *she touches Akatsuki, taking her name from her along with the ability to ever reach people with it* Lets go
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-654.2.19
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Lenneth eyes the two, with Erevis leaning back* <Erevis> So you two made bargains with Fate in alternate futures?
<DeathStar> *Ren rubs her neck, grumbling a bit after the events on the tree*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That's right. I remember Jikuu traded her memories and I traded... my idol career, or at least fans."
<Seraphna> Jaime> That’s what she does. Though people seem able to recover what they lost if they find a new path to it.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I wonder why she chose you two if she observes futures?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "We're close, and she's Jikuu."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You make it sound like I can single handedly save the universe."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> True, but she did not choose to become friends with the younger version of Jikuu and yourself
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmmm, she does seem to offer help to friends. She’s helped me before and I suspect Thena.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She didn't want to see them keep dying
<DeathStar> *Cheryl takes a seat after arriving at the meeting*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "...I could see that."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sounds like it.
<Dias`> *Chad steps in after Cheryl, taking a seat beside her*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd distance myself too if I saw the same scene play out again and again
<Dias`> <Chad> It's that or you become numb to it.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That's why we have to change it."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...why the bargaining? Is it removing a variable to change your fate?"
<DeathStar> *Zayne hangs out in the back near Kyouki, since she's there to monitor and teach*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes, why does she bargain?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "It seems like an essential part of the process, but I have no idea." <Jikuu> "Even less here."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Could be a combination of setting the person on course and paying a cost. All power has costs.
<Dias`> <Chad> A good chance it's what's required for her to mess with the timeline. A scale of sorts.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Its not really power though, is it? A least not in the conventional sense."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Alright. We know a little about what is going on. Maybe we should talk to her again. But before we do I'd like to see what all we know about her
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Putting someone from a possible future somewhere they can change it feels like power to me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I confess I know very little. Jaime and Thena have had the most interaction, along with Jikuu. It seems the younger generation has had the most interaction
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s both ways. She’s given me a glance at a future before. I worked to change it for the better.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> It is also interesting that depending on a whim either I or mother can be the leader of the PAX
<Dias`> <Chad> Dias has spent the most time with her from what I could tell.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "As I said... not in the conventional sense."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Ah yes, learning to fight. But from what data says, the serpent will be too big to fight
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So why is she training him to fight it?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then the Serpent must be dependent upon its agents. Stop the agents, stop the Serpent."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I feel like they were really training to face… you know who.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm, that might be more likely
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dias really did go toe to toe with her for a bit.
<Dias`> <Chad> That's most likely the case, but there's also the fact that she answers to someone. Since she seems to have a set of rules she has to adhere to.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Which? Fate? She definitely answers to a higher power.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She’s mentioned them… sort of auditors who watch reality trees and branches.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I mean, if you'r talking higher powers, and that thing is from the lower levels and are you know whats
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You're making it seem like Fate is literally a you know what
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It is possible."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Angels and Demons. Order and Chaos.
<Dias`> <Chad> We're just reaching for descriptions on that now.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Lets call her in
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Jaime?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **jaime muses and tries to call her in** Oh Faye?
<Seraphna> **Fate
<DeathStar> *a feather floats down and lands on Jaime's head before Fate appears, sitting at the table* <Fate> I see you regained your memory, Jikuu
<DeathStar> *Fate is holding in her other hand Kaori, who she tosses into a chair*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You never told us why we needed to trade things."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **picks up the feather curiously**
<DeathStar> *it is... a bird's feather.*
<Sara> * Kaori makes a complaining noise at just being randomly brought in and tossed into a chair, looking around at the others
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You are important."
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh deploys her Kaori calming measure, a burger**
<DeathStar> <Fate> I have limitations placed on me due to how I was brought here.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Even though I'm getting stronger by the day, to bring out my power, I need strong emotions from the person to perform my ability - a pact/bargain between the person and myself, still.
<DeathStar> <Fate> This is your realm, after all
<Sara> <Kaori> *to Leyaeh, quietly* How long have you been carrying this!?
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> We keep fresh measures on deck for any reality power users.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Hey, what about me?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> May I ask why you brought this poor orphan girl here?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...might we get back on topic?"
<DeathStar> *she motions at Kaori*
<Sara> <Kaori> Excuse me?
<Sara> * She stares
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> I believe she is officially a Nue.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I mean, you are being given burgers and being fed, I assumed you were of the needy. *She keeps a straight face*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Just hungry. And worthy."
<DeathStar> <Fate> I have something important I need of Kaori after you are done asking questions
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> How often are you checking the future? <Fate> Quite often. I could take a few of you there, but I'd have to do bargains with those I took.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That sounds lovely...
<Dias`> <Chad> How much are you allowed to mess with our branch?
<DeathStar> *Fate looks down - quiet for a bit* Too much. I'll soon be unable to help you anymore. *Another odd voice* It's already happened. I'm on a limited timer
<DeathStar> *Fate looks up* Sorry, *Rubs her forehead*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I wanted to wait to ask this, but I cannot now... is Adeline really as important as you said?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> I try not to to overstep my boundaries
<DeathStar> *Lenneth looks oddly at Fate*
<Dias`> <Chad> But you clearly have.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I will.
<DeathStar> *She corrects, tiredly*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm lost
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think from what you said you actually already changed Adeline’s fate.
<Sara> * Kaori tilts head
<Dias`> *Chad leans back a bit, drumming his fingers* I see. *he glances at Cheryl* Everything has a cost, Cheryl. She's been breaking the rules she's been told to adhere to and they're punishing her for it.
<Dias`> <Chad> Or in her words, she will break them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Okay.
<DeathStar> *Fate turns to the others* Adeline's fate
<DeathStar> <Fate> Is always in flux
<Seraphna> **Jaime puts a hand over Adeline’s and gently squeezes**
<Dias`> <Chad> So we're running out of time then for how much longer you'll be able to help us.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "This was not my fault, I hope."
<DeathStar> <Fate> It will be when I fight NYarl .. have fought Nyarl. I shift between time. For you, I was already punished
<DeathStar> <Fate> For me, I've yet to do that battle. Remember, I told you I am tacking her. *she says the name without fear, likely having protections up*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s why you’re aging backwards isn’t it?
<Dias`> *Chad studies her for a second* I see.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...now that is itneresting."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So... is that why we only have to worry about the Serpent? Or is that incorrect?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> I'm aging backwards because of how I was brought here. Being brought into this reality was imperfect, remember. Or maybe it was a test. So, I'm here now - with my undivided attention to prepare ou
<DeathStar> *Fate thinks* I think that thing's plans are madness
<DeathStar> <Fate> It too is everywhere and anywhere like myself
<Seraphna> Jaime> Angels and Devils.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Not just in the tree?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> The tree? It ironically can't touch the tree fully yet. It's why it's focus is on the other realities
<DeathStar> <Fate> It is one reason I've directed you all toward the serpent
<Dias`> <Chad> Because if we can't stop the Serpent, what happens next wont' matter.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Exactly."
<Dias`> <Chad> And I imagine your 'watcher's' have plans in place if we fail for our branch
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm.m..I don't think its even allied with the Serpent. Its just exploiting the situation to spread chaos."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Who would?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yes. The serpent is like force of nature; it's forces are just misguided being that will want the world to end, perhaps egged on by Nyarlathotep.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Let’s not fail.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "That was always the plan."
<DeathStar> <Fate> As for the other higher beings, if the tree falls here, they will work to cut this branch off so the damage does not spread upward
<DeathStar> <Fate> And so it does not try to climb higher
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Understandable..."
<DeathStar> <Fate> I apologize... leaving an entire multiverse to rot rather than deal with that thing
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I have a question
<Dias`> <Chad> I figured that was their solution
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I'm no Lana, but this Nyarl thing. There are other Elder Gods, right? Can't one of them deal with it?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> All down there?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "They probably could, but won't."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...Lana is an expert in this matter, yes?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess we can see what she has to say
<Seraphna> Jaime> Do we really want to invite more beings like her in?
<DeathStar> <Fate> *keeps a hand on Kaori's head* Are there any other questions I can answer? *She avoids the Elder Gods thing*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Is Lana that bad?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Goes to do a connection to Lana meanwhile*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Meant the Old Gods. It’s like solving a rat problem by loosing an adder into the same space.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *comm* "Ahhh... hello?"
<Dias`> <Chad> Problem with that is you eventually needs to deal with the adder
<DeathStar> <Ren> What do you think about releasing more Elder thingies to beat up our one Elder God?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "That was the point."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *comm* "...are you serious?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Keep having to get a bigger enemy
<DeathStar> <Ren> So that's a no?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "... I can't believe you even asked..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey, there might be one that has a beef with ours
<Dias`> <Chad> And if there is, they'll probably require something in trade.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well... first off, most would not even notice our existence. The Crawlign Chaos is the only one that interacts with our level of existence on a regular basis."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "If they're not helping out already, we shouldn't ask."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lucky us
<Alicia> <Victoire> "So, the real question is... how do we prepare?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Others that might interact with our plane of existence are not exctly benign...at least by our standards."
<Dias`> <
<Dias`> <Chad> Frankly that's a problem we'll need to deal with down the road. Our focus should remain on the Serpent.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Right, if we lose, it is all over."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright, we got it. Thanks, Lana
<DeathStar> <Fate> We need to ... *sets Kaori on table*
<DeathStar> <Fate> Start here
<Sara> * Kaori blinks
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I can probably cook somethign up... anywya, I need to go. Ahhhh... bye!"
<Alicia> <Victoire> "With Kaori?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> She needs her powers back
<DeathStar> <Fate> Or something similiar
<Seraphna> Jaime> She’s still without?
<Dias`> <Chad> And what's similiar to reality powers?
<Sara> <Kaori> Video game powers? ... Well they're real to me... *she mumbles*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...magic?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Throw your hat on the frog, and you are the frog?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> Kaori did massive amounts of reality with Yggdrasil to pull the mirror reality into the Prime Reality
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yggdrasil and her will always have a connection, even if she is powerless
<Dias`> *Chad rubs his face a bit* So you're saying she could use her connection to Yggdrasil to more or less affect reality.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Less effectively
<DeathStar> <Fate> It might be something to remember.
<Dias`> <Chad> Then she should work on trying to strengthen that connection
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I got accepted as a proxy, maybe I can help?"
<DeathStar> *Fate hmmm's* We are going to the tree - those who wish to come
<DeathStar> <Fate> Prepare
<DeathStar> *Ren stands up*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **looks to Adeline**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll go
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Ah?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *prepares to go*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Then I go too.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...very well. I still need to level up."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Obviously, I'm going." <Jikuu> "Then so am I."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll go report to Lemon
<DeathStar> *Zayne makes a call to someone to meet her*
<Sara> * Kaori just blinks at them all
<Dias`> <Chad> I'll go with and keep you up to date, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> *Fate warps and the group appears on the Aquarius* <Yuki> ...
<DeathStar> <Fate> We're borrowing ship
<DeathStar> *Fate moves over to controls, sitting down to fly it toward Yggdrasil* <Yuki> Excuse... me? *she eyes everyone*
<Sara> <Erica> What.
<Dias`> <Chad> Easier to not ask questions.
<DeathStar> *Adeline shrugs at the group while Ren looks sheepishly at her sister*
<Seraphna> Cookie> I knew this day would come. Mire, prepare the tree snacks!
<DeathStar> *Yuki, clearly with the dark vibes going on for months now, twitches, not in a great mood*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Also hey little sis. **she winks at Adeline**
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Victoire!"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... I'm so tired of your crap...
<Alicia> <Older Jikuu> "Hello me." <Younger Jikuu> "Good to see me."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *steps on to the bridge* "Report."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hey Cook. <Yuki> Fate hijacked the ship to go to Yggdrasil
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yuki, contact the Peacekeepers and inform them of our change in mission."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Umm… consider it a mission request from the Suisen Empire I guess.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yada Yada, Princess of the Empire, formal request.
<Sara> * Erica is rubbing her temples and taking a painkiller
<Alicia> <Older Jikuu> "Ask Erevis if you have any doubts."
<DeathStar> *Zayne's guest appears - Sunny. She has Sunny study all these new people with her, incase one is a bad guy8
<DeathStar> *Yuki marches off, annoyed*
<Sara> * Erica gives up and goes off after Yuki
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh and we still have no idea if there’s a hunter in the tree so… watch your necks.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "In the meantime, is there anywhere we can go that is more comfortable than the bridge?"
<Seraphna> **Nox nods** To the bar!
<Sara> <Kaori> You can eat the hostility in the air with a fork it's so thick...
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am taking the conn." *steps over and sits in the Captain's chair*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Especially you, Adeline."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Me?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "If you get got, that'd be really bad."
<Seraphna> Jaime> They think you might still get snatched by an outside force.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think there's higher priority targets than myself.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...apparently the bad guys win if you become compromised."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm not connected to Yggdrasil in this timeline after all
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm. My genius wife is a high priority target.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Not sure how she'd compromise the tree, but she's Adeline."
<Seraphna> Cookie> I had an idea about that.
<DeathStar> *Adeline sits at the bar with the others* <Adeline> Apparently in the other timeline, my protocols kicked in and so I isolated myself in the tree
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What does that even mean?"
<Seraphna> **Cookie pulls scarves from subspace** Behold! My anti-body snatcher devices!
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Where I worked to protect it. But something corrupted me and the entire tree went down?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "From what I know, yes."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *looks lost on the protocols thing*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Heh… I think Fate wound up preventing that with my trip to the future then.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I think the protocols are a Spade thing."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Wait, you did?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes.
<DeathStar> *The ship arrives at Yggdrasil; Fate takes them in toward the lower branches to a specific area and parks the tree*
<DeathStar> *the ship even*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We kicked her protocols.
<Dias`> <Chad> This our stop, Fate?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We still need to avoid her being snatched, but it should be easier now."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yes.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And where is here, exactly?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Then got married. And had cute kids.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I'll take you there. *Fate contacts those ready to come along and begins to exit through the hanger. Ren and Adeline follow, as does Zayne*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "...take care of mom."
<Sara> * Kaori, dragged along, goes with them
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows as does Nox**
<Dias`> *Chad moves to follow, releasing an Idlet to follow along*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *goes along with the landing team*
<Alicia> * Victoire follows, her confidence occasionally being shaken by any kind of strange noise.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You did not cause the problems."
<DeathStar> <Fate> If you want to try to defeat the serpent as soon as it becomes solid, you will have a few problems. I will show you
<DeathStar> <Fate> The first is that part of it is on the other side forming; meaning that you'd need a fleet ready in the Mirror Universe, which is hostile to you
<Dias`> <Chad> Say we manage to to stop the Serpent. Is this a permanent thing or is it something that will come back?
<DeathStar> <Fate> It is my hope that it is and it won't be reborn.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...hope." <Victoire> "It's all we can do there."
<DeathStar> *they reach the core area of Yggdrasil, where the group can enter the pathways of Kaori's, and while the Serpent can't be seen, one can 'feel' it*
<DeathStar> <Fate> The Serpent on this side is coiled along the core here, forming.
<Alicia> * Victoire looks visibly shaken from this, obviously not enjoying knowing *it* is around.
<Dias`> <Chad> So that's the feeling it projects.
<Seraphna> Jaime> One thing that always bugged me.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Horrible, isn't it?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... and what exactly is this thing?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why what?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why is this serpent even here, why is it here to destroy?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Even the most seemingly cosmic accidents seem to have a purpose after all.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I believe due to Destiny's actions, a type of Ragnarok scenario began for your reality tree.
<Dias`> <Chad> So something that's "programmed" in to all core branches.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So, will defeating the Serpent end this?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> It should be possible. We'd like to belive it. <Ren> You're afraid it might spread up to the other trees
<Seraphna> Jaime> Man I hate that guy. Took my brother, planned a Ragnarok, had terrible dress sense…
<Dias`> <Chad> Hence why those above her are willing to cut us off from the rest of the tree.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...why is this playing out like the Norse Ragnarok myth?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Of course Angela killed our Thor.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "And how much else is like that?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> That is a curious thing. I do not believe just because it is the life tree. It might be because of Destiny's actions years ago. It could be another factor when your Centerpoint turned into Yggdrasil
<DeathStar> <Fate> We could enter the core and the pathways to try to find out while trying to restore Kaori
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Let us do that."
<DeathStar> *Adeline turns her head*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I believe we should hurry
<Sara> <Kaori> Danger?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hunters?"
<DeathStar> *Faint footsteps can be heard approaching along the branch, the branch trembling; Zayne turns* <Zayne> I will stand and hold the line. Sunny can stay with me or join you
<Dias`> *Chad clicks his tongue*
<DeathStar> *She forms her gun form as what looks to be crew members of the Aquarius charging them - tons of them* <Ren> That's way more than 3
<DeathStar> *The Aquarius crew fires weapons at them, some lethal, some stun, at them; the lethal shots flying for Jaime and Chad, the stun for Jikuu, Victoire, and Adeline*
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and shifts to protect Adeline, firing Hyperspace to counter**
<DeathStar> *Ren makes a fox noise and begins to head for the pathways* Kaori, Victoire, open it!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Let's go! Zayne is holding the line!"
<Alicia> * Jikuu grabs Victoire and darts down a pathway
<DeathStar> *Zayne begins to fire back*
<DeathStar> *The passage opens up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads down the path* "Its clear they want to capture specific individuals alive."
<Dias`> *Chad quickly drops for cover as he let's his tact suit take some of the shots. He then turns to move for the passage
<Sara> * Kaori heads in
<DeathStar> *cafe staff leaps for Jaime and Adeline, trying to knock them off the branch*
<Sara> * Sunny Jr. follows the others inside, though not before a long look at her mom staying behind
<DeathStar> *Ren rushes in as Zayne takes shots for the legs*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *Goes in* "Can you sela it behind us once we are all in?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime scoops Adeline up and skates for the door as she throws a wall of vines up at the staff**
<Jackieness> seal
<DeathStar> *dropping crazed people*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "How did they grab so many?"
<Sara> <Kaori> I'll try
<Dias`> *Chad leans out of the passage and begins firing stun shots for the crew*
<DeathStar> *Adeline makes a noise as the two get inside and the vines protect them*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *TK blasts more back*
<Seraphna> Nox> It’s the corrupting despair. **she tosses a dark orb out to knock some of them out and then dives into shadows**
<DeathStar> *Kaori seals the passage*
<DeathStar> <Fate> That was unexpected
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That should hold them. Hopefully Zayne has the sense to escape now that the eay is closed to our pursuers."
<Sara> * Sunny Jr. looks at the closed passage with a frown but then turns to look ahead
<DeathStar> <Ren> *scans the crystal passages*
<Dias`> <Chad> Depends. She's holding back to not kill them which means she's fighting at a reduced capacity.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> For now
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hopefully some of the crew resisted. Not everyone is losing it to the dark.
<DeathStar> *Ren adjusts her scarf*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not sure Airym can even feel it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I didn't see any of the bridge crew, else our escape may not have been so easy."
<DeathStar> *Fate leads them along the pathways; she touches walls, showing them shortcuts*
<DeathStar> *walking through them*
<Dias`> *Chad walks along, his left hand holding on to his pistol, as he memorizes their path*
<DeathStar> <Fate> As I was saying, the serpent is forming there and in the Mirror Universe. You have two options - to wait for it to rip out of the tree to do battle, or try to attack it in the tree and in the Mirror Universe while it is forming. Both options have their own peril
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I would rather not lose the tree."
<Dias`> <Chad> Whoever we send the mirror universe will have the hardest time based on what you've stated about it earlier.
<Dias`> <Chad> And it could be a one way trip.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then a pre-emptive attack makessense... but... cooridnating it on both sides."
<DeathStar> <Fate> The second it becomes solid is when you can do damage. I will inform you when that time comes of course. It varies depending on certain factors. I've seen it already awaken in some futures
<DeathStar> <Fate> Others it takes longer
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah the other side team will have it rough
<DeathStar> *The group arrives at the central area with the old computer system*
<DeathStar> *As they near it, Victoire and Kaori glow when near it*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Hi! I brought Kaori this time!"
<DeathStar> *the computer awakens, taking Airym's form* <Airym> Victoire. Kaori. Welcome
<Sara> * Kaori blinks
<Sara> <Kaori> "This time"?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I've been here before. I had to act as proxy for you."
<DeathStar> <Computer> Victoire is the current proxy of the facilites for you.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We need a name for her.
<Sara> <Kaori> Uh... huh. I see.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Victoire. Do you want to transfer some of your current holdings back to Kaori? If so, how much? <Fate> Victoire. *She leans over to whisper something to her*
<Alicia> * Victoire listens
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Mmm... 90%?"
<Dias`> *Chad glances around*
<DeathStar> *two stepping pads rise up for the two*
<Alicia> * Victoire steps on
<Sara> * Sunny Jr. looks around when she notices Chad glancing about
<Sara> * Kaori steps on
<Seraphna> Jaime> **wraps an arm around Adeline as she watches**
<DeathStar> *they receive not a painful jolt, but a jolt as Kaori's reality power is slowly recharged and Victoire's is reduced*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *glances at her and smiles*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles back**
<DeathStar> *Adeline moves to examine the computer system as it transfers power, quietly glancing over stuff while Jaime holds her, studying it and then begins to type some commands*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? What is it that you are up to there?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Checking how this place is tied to the core and seeing if we can use it to fight the Serpent
<Sara> <Sunny Jr.> Use it how?
<Sara> * She moves over to her, eyeing the console
<Seraphna> Jaime> My genius~
<Sara> * Sunny Jr. gestures to Chad
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...now you have my interest."
<Dias`> *Chad glances at Sunny Jr* Yeah?
<DeathStar> *Adeline begins to input commands with what looks like giving her control of stuff* Well, if the Serpent is coiled around this place outside somehow in some sort of spatial way, this means this is like a pocket dimension
<Sara> * Sunny says nothing but seems... wary
<DeathStar> <Computer> *seems to go quiet*
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> ...?
<DeathStar> *Adeline reaches into her pocket and puts in something* These systems are so old, lets see if this works.
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> But what are you doing?
<DeathStar> *Ren's ears twitch*
<Alicia> * Jikuu listens carefully
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There. *She finishes and turns toward Sunny Jr.* Just turned this place into something we could use to destroy the Serpent possibily when it goes solid. It's tied to my datapad. <Fate> *is quiet*
<DeathStar> <Fate> Do you all wish to head back to the entrance now? The only other way out is the Mirror Universe
<Sara> * Sunny looks at the console again, uncomfortable
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Lets not leave that way..."
<Sara> <Sunny> So you just gave youself full control, huh?
<Dias`> *Chad eyes Adeline for a bit*
<Sara> <Sunny> And weaponized it?
<Seraphna> Jaime> At least it’s your datapad and not you in this instance l but… cutting it close dear.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Is that a problem?
<Dias`> <Chad> Potentially.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Now we really have to make sure you are never compromised."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm. *Adeline holds out her datapad* Here then.
<Dias`> <Chad> It's more concerning you did it without consulting anyone.
<Sara> <Sunny> Yeah, you didn't fill us in at all, you just... went right ahead. I'm sorry but I don't trust you right now.
<Sara> * She is rather frank
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...the computer seems to have gone quiet."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I trust her. And she told you all what she did up front.
<Dias`> <Chad> After she did it, Jaime.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "She means well, I can tell you that... but I don't blame you at all."
<DeathStar> *Adeline puts the datapad back in her pocket, then heads for the exit herself*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Jaime, lets go
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, smart people seem to act on their own once in a while, don’t they Chad?
<Seraphna> **Jaime goes with her**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am a little concerned about the idea destroying this place, even to stop the serpent, though."
<Dias`> <Chad> And I get questioned for my actions all the time.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hrn
<Sara> * Kaori seems very pensive, looking at the computer
<Alicia> <Victoire> "And you answer them?"
* Dias` moves over to the computer, eyeing it
<Dias`> *ChaD*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks back** He doesn’t. People trust him anyway. Try to remember we’re all in the same fight here.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Well, that puts Adeline ahead of him then."
<Sara> <Kaori> Mom...? *she mumbles quietly*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "... what happened to the computer though?"
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> We like to think we are at least, Jaime. My mother has taught me to trust but verify.
<DeathStar> *The computer seems to have been overriden and given Adeline full control of it's systems, using her hacking and datapad, giving her full control of the core, pathways, etc. *
<DeathStar> *and setting it up to do anything, including use it, destroy it, etc*
<Dias`> <Chad> She's taken full control. Which means neither of you have any control of this place potentially.
<Sara> <Kaori> What...?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "...it's not the control I'm worried about right now."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The Serpent, when it awakes, is going to possibily destroy this place anyway. *she walks along*
<Dias`> *Chad motions to Kaori to look*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It is coiled around it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...but now they do have a reason to go after you, Adeline."
<DeathStar> *with that, she steps out of range*
<Sara> * Kaori looks, seeming rather unnerved with this situation -- she has historically seen this place and this computer as essentially one of her parents.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah… **steps with her** I do worry about you being a target though. I’ll protect you.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *touches Kaori's shoulder*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You want me to go make her give it back?
<Sara> <Kaori> ...
<Dias`> <Chad> If you want, I could leave an Idlet here to try and take control back if things go...wrong.
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> Then do that. But she and Jaime are already on their way out. If we're going to do anything...
<Dias`> <Chad> Jaime will follow Adeline blindly without question.
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> That's the impression that I get. That's unfortunate. A true hero is discerning, even of the people close to them. That's what I think.
<Seraphna> Nox> Mates trusting each other. Scary prospect?
<Dias`> <Chad> Blind faith is dangerous. *He pulls out his datapad typing on it and an Idlet pops out of his belt* I'll leave it here for you Kaori.
<Sara> <Kaori> Okay...
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> Which way do you think they went?
<DeathStar> *Adeline arrives at the exit where Fate is already at, having warped there. It seems she's avoiding conflict*
<DeathStar> *Ren meanwhile is hunting down Adeline*
<Sara> * Sunny peers out into the passages
<DeathStar> *charging along the pathways*
<Dias`> <Chad> I imagine back where we entered. We should head that way. *He moves, following the path they took
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Lets see if I can open this without Kaori or Victoire
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hoping they’ll pull their heads out of their butts.
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> I've got a real bad feeling about this. *she draws her wand, holding it at ready as she moves along with Chad. Kaori eventually follows, reluctantly*
<DeathStar> *Adeline adjusts her scarf and then TK works on the entrance. Ren, using her speed, zooms up and can be heard coming up behind Adeline and Jaime, leaping at Adeline*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...where is Ren?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts in the way as though knowing she would**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *then uses her datapad, seeing if that works; the entrance opens*
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> She slipped out while we were talking about it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Did you need something Ren?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sighs* "We need to catch up before Ren does something ill-advised."
<Alicia> * Victoire hurries after Ren and Adeline
<DeathStar> *Ren bounces off Jaime and shifts back* <Ren> Adeline, give me that datapad. You made her sad. <Adeline> You all didn't take it when you ahd the chance.
<DeathStar> *She pockets it again*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And you just attacked me
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think the despair is getting to them love.
<DeathStar> *The others meanwhile begin to catch up*
<DeathStar> *Ren sneers*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ren’s acting super weird.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So it's in your lover's nature to break friend's parents?
<Seraphna> Jaime> What are you talking about?
<DeathStar> <Ren> This place was like a mom to Kaori.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? What's going on here?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Isn’t it still?
<DeathStar> <Ren> You don't see it talking anymore with Adeline in control
<Alicia> <Victoire> *arriving* "I don't know, it's not talking any more."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can’t see it doing anything from here?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay hold up. Cut the drama and explain.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Adeline cut all the systems off to her; that means it's all quiet like a normal computer. Or it WAS purposely silenced.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "The computer has a personality. Right now, said personality is closed off completely."
<Sara> * Sunny Jr. arrives and glances between the others
<Seraphna> Jaime> **looks to her wife** I doubt you did that on purpose. Let’s give it to them?
<Dias`> *Chad comes to a stop, watching the scene, his hand resting on his holster*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *Turns her head at Ren and Victoire, then brings out the datapad and begins to work on it*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You sure like to bring your hand on that gun easily.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She’s seeing if she can fix it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And it’s Chad, he threatens his family with it.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm well aware. *she finishes something* There.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Go back to the computer
<Dias`> <Chad> I'm cautious, that's all.
<DeathStar> *She pockets it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> All set? Good.
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> Times may be dire but we all need the brightness in our lives that we can still have. If what you did before took some of that brightness away from Kaori, you should have thought about that.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Well spoken."
<Dias`> <Chad> Id...*He waits*
<Seraphna> Jaime> She didn’t know. She fixed it. Are we really fighting in the Serpent’s Den?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I hope not."
<DeathStar> *it seems the computer can talk again; it's currently sounding worried about having no control of it's systems and for Kaori and Victoire due to that, but otherwise is okay*
<Dias`> *Chad glances at Jaime at that, finding it hard to believe a genius didn't know*
<DeathStar> *Adeline steps out and eyes all the bodies laying around*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Did you know Chad?
<Dias`> <Chad> Id says it's talking again, but is worried about not having control of it's systems.
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows** Since if you didn’t warn us that’s a jerk move.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'd be surprised if they weren't."
<DeathStar> *Ren checks pulses* They seem alive
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? And what are we to do with them? Will they become hostile if revived?"
<Dias`> <Chad> Shift the blame all you want to protect your idealic view of her.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Go home Chad.
<Dias`> *Chad glances at Noire* Hard to say. Wake one up and find out. You should be able to subdue them easily.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> No sign of Zayne. *She muses*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Right now, blame doesn't matter. Fixing problems does."
<DeathStar> *Adeline leans against a wall, looking a little dizzy for a moment, then shakes her head* ... *she scans the area, looking about* Hrn
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> If mom isn't here, she must have left. Anyway, I really only want you to continue to consider the light in others' lives in these dark times. I do. I chose my new name, Rainbow Sunshine, because I want to bring light to peoples' lives like that, and protect it with my life. ... Huh? Adeline? *she notices her seemingly briefly unwell*
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns in concern and looks her over**
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Ah?" *checks if Adeline is okay*
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> ...... *she looks unsure, just shaking her head to herself before peering out ahead*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm okay. *she seems to be feeling her pocket, and eyeing the scene* ... Anyway, let me subdue this person
<DeathStar> *she kneels and does so, before waking them up*
<DeathStar> *The crew member wakes up and looks confused, peering around* Where am I? *they eye the bodies and freaks out*
<DeathStar> *Fate meanwhile seems to wander off, perhaps looking for Zane*
<Dias`> *Chad taps his comm to contact Cheryl as he glances around for Fate*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl comms> Yes?
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> Well then. Is it okay if I start transporting them back to the ship?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Has anyone seen Fate?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> They have to be somewhere nearby
<DeathStar> <Ren> Check around this branch
<Alicia> * Victoire looks around
<Dias`> <Comm> I'm gonna send you what's happened while on the tree. Figure out how you want to go forward with the info.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "... I want to ask an important question."
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> Yeah?
<DeathStar> *Fate seems to be checking on a hurt Zayne who is checking on something*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks along the perimeter, lookign around*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets get them back and then question them
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... agreed."
<Dias`> *Chad closes the comm and pulls out his datapad, sending her hte information* That sounds like a good plan, Sunny.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Fate...? What counts as compromising Yggdrasil?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over her wife, touching heads gently**
<Sara> * Sunny gets to work on returning the crew members to the ship
<DeathStar> <Fate> Hm. That's a good question. I'll explain on the ship. *Zayne rises8
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Hm. *She pats Victoire, walking away from what looks to be a dead body on the tree, holding what appears to be Aquarius comms*
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It appears that a large portion of the crew suddenly went mad and got in their heads to attack Jikuu, Kaori, Victoire, and Adeline then rushed out of here
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *She plays the video of them suddenly rushing out, chanting their names*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We can't find what started it, so some trigger must have been planted in their minds earlier
<Sara> <Erica> Fuck my life this stuff just storms in like a lion sometimes.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Feels a little too direct.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Direct, sure - but why play that hand and why now
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We really need to protect against things like this."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We got too close to something."
<Dias`> <Chad> They were definetly having to keep them alive based on the shots that were fired.
<Dias`> *aiming not having*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Trying to kidnap them?"
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Based on what I found, someone was sending communications or receiving them to the Aquarius from the tree
<Dias`> <Chad> You able to pinpoint where?
<DeathStar> <Zayne> I found a body near the core.
<DeathStar> <Zayne> With a comm
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Whose?"
<DeathStar> *Zayne dumps the corpse*
<Dias`> <Chad> Care if I see it?
<DeathStar> <Zayne> This one
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Ew
<Sara> <Erica> Awww, fuckin'--
<Sara> * Erica glances away
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a villager's corpse*
<Seraphna> Cookie> We never did find the mole.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Did this one have a Hunter?"
<DeathStar> *Ren makes a face*
<Dias`> <Chad> Check it's neck to see if there's any signs of one
<DeathStar> *Zayne tilts the neck in awkward direction*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Yes, there is something
<Seraphna> Jaime> A bump?
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<DeathStar> *Adeline plays with her datpad quietly while listening, spinning it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I suppose I should speak now and answer Victoire's question
<Alicia> * Victoire sits behind Adeline, watching
<Dias`> <Chad> That would most likely lead to a Hunter.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Comproising Yggdrasil
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks softly and leans against Adeline**
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yggdrasil here is unique in that it is partially made of Centerpoint, meaning it has a core.
<Sara> * Erica folds her arms and leans back against the wall, listening
<DeathStar> <Fate> Along with parts of Centerpoint in it
<DeathStar> <Fate> One could try to poision the massive tree, but that would take a lot of effort - but if one could intregrate with the core and take it over
<DeathStar> <Fate> They could help speed up the demise of the tree for the serpent
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So, taking control of the systems?"
<Sara> <Erica> Thankfully it doesn't seem like anyone's ever really figured them out on that level.
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks at the datapad**
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yes. If you are wondering, if Adeline blew up the pathways, that would not blow up the core.
<DeathStar> <Fate> It is it's own pocket area
<Seraphna> Jaime> So what she set up wouldn’t work to that end.
<DeathStar> *Adeline stops spinning it*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "At least there is that. It was a very dangerous plan, however."
<DeathStar> <Fate> But it could lead to the core
<DeathStar> <Fate> If one really wanted to hack their way
<Dias`> <Chad> Given enough time, it's possible, is what your saying.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yes
<DeathStar> *Adeline glances at Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks at Adeline, then holds out a hand**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...so have Adeline's actions made it harder for them?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "And how much would the plan hurt the serpent, if it works?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *sighs, but remains emotionless, rising from the table. She looks she's debating something, but ends up grabbing the datapad and pocketing it*
<DeathStar> *then moves for the teleporters*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs and gets up following her**
<DeathStar> *Ren watches her go*
<DeathStar> <Fate> There is more I wish to tell you before the end. *She informs them after they leave*
<DeathStar> <Fate> But I think tempers are high
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...quite so."
<Dias`> *Chad crosses his arms as he looks at Fate for a moment* And what's that?
<Seraphna> Nox> I’d be mad too if people turned on me in seconds. Sheesh.
<DeathStar> <Fate> We will go over it after a break. *To Kaori and Victoire*
<DeathStar> <Fate> Make sure your powers are okay
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Right."
<Sara> <Kaori> R-Right...
<Dias`> <Chad> If that's the case, we should do it back on the PAX so we can discuss our actions going forward proper
<DeathStar> *Fate rises to leave*
<DeathStar> *Zayne leaves the corpse behind for the Aquarius crew, leaving with SUnny*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... thanks
<Sara> * Sunny Jr glances between Yuki and her mother but then at least drapes a sheet over the corpse and bows apologetically before she hastily follows her mom out
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Wow, what are we supposed to do with that?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> Yuki, we need to prepare too.
<Dias`> <Chad> Dispose of it properly. *He moves for a teleporter*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Cookie
<DeathStar> *As they are all going*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... autopsy it, to find evidence of Hunter infiltration."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We need to do a mental scan of all the crew to see if any code words can set them off
<Sara> <Erica> You too, huh? Man, does anyone else's head feel like it's in a vise?
<DeathStar> *Yuki rises and stomps in a bad mood*
<Seraphna> Cookie> I can probably pick up programming. Can you bring them in bit by bit?
<DeathStar> *calls out the door* Fine!
<Seraphna> Cookie> Also Yu. You need a break.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> *in a mysterious scene, a group gathers in the dark, one in a cast, the other spinning something, the other having a tall machine behind them, and the other hovering around*
<DeathStar> <Cast Person> We should make our own group
<DeathStar> *the person spinning the object on the table* And do what?
<Seraphna> <Machine Person> Work around everyone’s BS.
<DeathStar> <Cast Person> Sounds good to me.
<Seraphna> <Hover> They don’t see they’re about to break our chances.
<DeathStar> *the person stops spinning the object* Fine. *leans back* Lets see how this works out
<DeathStar> -TBC-
* Jackieness has quit IRC
* Sara has left #TAW-Session641
