* Chaintan has joined #Fumoffu-Session11
<DeathStar> (this is going back in time a little, taking place between 450 and 451 - so before the mirror universe, before the recent space stuff)
<DeathStar> (you can repeat that for Ariel whenever she shows)
<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.2.12
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Kaori would know she is dreaming. She has been having this dream a lot lately. She is on a crystal like object, a beautiful world of crystal. The crystals reminding her a little of the crystal pathways
<Sara> * Kaori looks around, quiet
<DeathStar> <Voice> It is time. *like whenever she dreams, the voice is there, behind her on crystal place. They have been training her - making her train - how to use her reality powers that have been reduced greatly since bringing the mirror universe to the prime universe.*
<Sara> <Kaori> Time?
<Sara> * She looks up a bit, hearing the voice
<DeathStar> *standing there is a figure with black hair and looks rather tall* <Man> To practice again. You have recovered a decent amount of your powers that you lost. Your powers can be recharged if you focus on them. You house in you the power of reality. They won't simply die out
<DeathStar> <Man> But you need to learn how to channel it properly. You need to practice daily and never be overcome by it
<Sara> <Kaori> S-Sorry... You know these things are always confusing... *she says, apologizing to a dream, as if that makes sense*
<DeathStar> <Man> You need to learn this before they come for you --- *he goes to say something else when, like the dream sometimes does, cuts out*
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Kaori would wake up, with food before her, in Taiga's club*
<Sara> * Kaori jerks awake, ears twitching as she immediately smells food
<Sara> <Kaori> ... Are you trying to fatten me up again... *she murmurs*
<DeathStar> *Taiga is sitting there, looking a little quiet lately - not like she isn't sure what meeting to hold after the disasterous meeting with Cran* Huh?
<DeathStar> *Ren is there, arms crossed, eyeing the board with no ideas on what to do for missions*
<Seraphna> Angela> So as you see, if the Meth Gators ally with the Crack Sharks, we’re doomed.
<Sara> <Kaori> Before they come for... *she murmurs before suddenly -properly- snapping wide awake, eyes wide*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You're just makign this uo now."
<Seraphna> **Thena spins around on a table**
<Seraphna> Angela> It’s chaos theory! It’s all made up!
<Alicia> <Celeste> *looking insulted* "You're not supposed to just make up things and call them truth."
<Sara> <Kaori> Chaos theory? I ... I'm sorry, are you all right?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *Reading book* Thena is being Thena
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Sometimes, you're all so strange."
<Seraphna> Thena> Hey! I’m not the one telling this story!
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm not strange, I'm just *yaaaawns* ... tired.
<DeathStar> <Ren> You've been sleeping a lot lately, Kaori
<Seraphna> Angela> Ouch, Adeline. Ouch.
<Sara> <Kaori> Maybe I'm eating too much... *she suggests*
<Seraphna> Thena> Wait! No! Being compared to Thena is an honor!
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So, which of you just got insulted again?"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina rushes in, wearing a cute school outfit and shuts the door after her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **pours tea**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina takes a deep breath*
<Sara> <Kaori> Please tell me no one tried to arrest you
<Seraphna> Angela> You okay there Sabrina?
<DeathStar> *Taiga twitches*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Whatever happened, we're here to help."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I saw what looked like... student council president
<DeathStar> *she looks terrified
<DeathStar> *Taiga facepalms*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... how is that a bad thing?"
<Seraphna> **Si puts Taiga on her lap**
<Chaintan> <Kitty> huh
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> They're terrifying
<Sara> <Kaori> You're probably just going to get a boyfriend, Sabrina. Or be forced to join the student council and all the boys and girls there fawn over you.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... really? You don't like discipline?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wait Wha? What’re we talking about now?
<Sara> <Kaori> The lives of magical girls.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Student council presidents."
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty cant help but sweat, having been a student council president once upon a time
<DeathStar> *Sabrina sits, peering at Kitty awkwardly*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I think that's the same thing I used to be...?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Come on, where's the food?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> We're eating it right now. Unless Kaori ate it all
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty huffs and makes a shooing gesture to Sabrina
<DeathStar> *at that moment, Kaori receives a strange datapad*
<DeathStar> *datapad message*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pops out of Moira’s shadow and yawns**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina shifts away from Kitty* S-Sorry
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Finally..." *goe to grab her own plate*
<Sara> * Kaori eyes the message, blinking
<Alicia> <Celeste> "What's up?"
<DeathStar> *the message looks completely scrambled, like she's receiving bad code. It reads: Ka#$oi. Da#$nr. Mot#$r.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Spam
<Alicia> <Celeste> "What is Spam?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> That
<Sara> <Kaori> I think it says 'dinner' and 'Mothra'
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So, it isn't some kind of code, just random letters. Alright then."
<DeathStar> *Kitty AI pops out of Kitty's Datapad* Shall I take a look?
<Sara> <Kaori> ... Sure?
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over** Kaori... Something... Mother?
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves to organize files*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Well, if there's a chance that it's a secret message, we should look into it."
<DeathStar> *Kitty AI enters Kaori's datapad and a moment comes out looking frizzled, her hair all fried*
<Sara> <Kaori> ... Can AIs even burn?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "You were attacked?!"
<Chaintan> *Kitty gives a look at Taiga
<Chaintan> <Kitty> when did you make a AI version of me
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think my AI made it when she was bored.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... to be honest, that's kind of cool."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> it better not be for anything weird.
<DeathStar> *Taiga shrugs* Ask them.
<Alicia> * Celeste looks over at Kitty.
<DeathStar> *the Kitty AI shakes her head* A-Anyway.
<DeathStar> <Kitty AI> It says Kaori. Danger. Mother.
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What does that mean?"
<Sara> <Kaori> Well it can't mean I'm pregnant, so I'm not sure
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey I was close.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Either your mother is in danger, or your mother is telling you you're in danger."
<DeathStar> <Kitty AI> The message came from no server on the holonet
<DeathStar> *the re-enters the datapad*
<DeathStar> *Taiga's ears twitch at that, glancing at Kaori*
<Sara> <Kaori> My mother situation is rather complicated. I don't have a mother in the conventional sense, just Lady Kasha and Lady Miyuki.
<Sara> <Kaori> ... And, well, it's complicated.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Could they have sent it, or be in danger?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What about Centerpoint?
<Sara> * Kaori eyes Kaelan weirdly, given everything
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Isn’t that kinda like your mom?
<Sara> <Kaori> I kind of doubt they could have sent it? But I should probably check...
<Alicia> * Celeste eyes Kaelan weirdly
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Why not?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Are you really suggesting she was born from a location? Or a force?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah, why? We have plenty of friends who were made instead of born.
<Sara> * Kaori looks a bit uncomfortable
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That's... not the same thing."
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes Kaelan*
<DeathStar> *and TK tips her seat over*
<Sara> <Kaori> W-Well, I'm going to send a message to Lady Kasha and Lady Miyuki about this weird message, just to be safe
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Clones are not the same as being born directly from the forces of the universe."
<Sara> * Kaori taps away at her data pad
* Ariel has joined #Fumoffu-Session11
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns** My point is that I don’t find anything wrong with that. But okay.
<DeathStar> *after Kaori sends the message, she gets an error message. ER0RR0R*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Eh?
<Sara> <Kaori> ... Great. RenRen, you wanna try?
<Seraphna> **Kaeoan grumbles**
<Chaintan> <Kitty> perhaps one of their many children chewed on their devices? its happened before
<DeathStar> *Ren tries, but gets ERROR*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "It's not that it's wrong, it's..." *sighs*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Communication isn't getting through to them
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Do they even have net?"
<Sara> <Kaori> I... guess I ought to check in on them... *she says, with some hesitation*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *Eats on cheesecake as she watches Taiga erase the gator stuff on the board*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Don't force yourself, Kaori
<Seraphna> Angela> My work. **she pouts**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "If you want help, you only need to ask."
<Sara> * Kaori looks at the board, as she starts to get up
<DeathStar> <Ren> *nods* Celeste, go to this address *she hands it to her*
<Alicia> * Celeste takes the address and nods to Ren. "Will do!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Good luck!
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... *deadpans, which is something for a Maka*
<Alicia> * Celeste sets out. "I'll be back as soon as I can!"
<Sara> * Kaori moves to follow, unless Taiga has anything to say
<DeathStar> *Taiga grabs her coat* Lets go. *she frowns, still in a mood lately*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Adventure!
<DeathStar> *Ren turns into a fox and lands on Kaori's head*
<Sara> <Kaori> It's probably nothing but a prank, you know that, right? But, yeah. Let's go.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty sighs and picks up datapad to follow after Taiga
<DeathStar> *Adeline puts up a message for all future club members where they will be and to head there*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina adds Nicolette's name and Sparkling's name and that she left cake for them here*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I sure hope I sent Celeste to the right spot.
<DeathStar> *she notes, even though she is just right ahead of them*
<Sara> <Kaori> You don't even know the address for sure?
<DeathStar> <Ren> .... Sure I do! We're family!
<Sara> <Kaori> Sometimes I really wonder about you RenRen
<DeathStar> *Ren just looks foxy*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *the team arrives on Earth, where they find the Nue Household. A figure is on the house, where they have been for years. They look like a skeleton*
<Sara> <Kaori> Uh.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So... this normal?"
<DeathStar> *okay, technically, since the Nue is a mansion that rivals Cheryl's, the skeleton is really a speck*
<DeathStar> *so it might be nothing*
<Sara> * Kaori squints
<Chaintan> <Kitty> did they leave a random halloween decoration up?
<Sara> <Kaori> I wonder
<Sara> * She leads the way
<Chaintan> 6* Kitty reaches to stop Kaori while she brings out her sprites
<DeathStar> *Taiga walks along, studying the sprites*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *stands in a school girl outfit, warming her hands* How can you live in such a place?
<DeathStar> *she eyes the big house*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> can you check whats up there?
<DeathStar> *the sprites fly up there*
<Sara> * Kaori peers up, watching them
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I bet it's haunted."
<DeathStar> *they come back and begin to yammer in sprite language that summoni and magic people undestand*
<Chaintan> <Kitty>...ah, its nothing to worry about then
<Sara> * Kaori moves to head in then
<Chaintan> 6*she pets the sprites
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what did they say?"
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the door*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Eh...heh....heh...
<Sara> * Kaori knocks
<DeathStar> *the door creepily opens*
<Sara> * Kaori briefly looks at the others nearest her and then steps inside
<Sara> <Kaori> Helloooo? Lady Miyuki?
<DeathStar> *Kaori is grabbed up*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Intruders!!!
<Sara> <Kaori> Kya!
<DeathStar> *Isis squeezes*
<DeathStar> <Isis> Hello~
<DeathStar> *Isis has grown her hair out longer, her ears twitching like Megumi's before she went cat*
<Sara> <Kaori> H-Hi! Lady Isis!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Hello!"
<DeathStar> <Isis> What brings you here, little Kaori. We have not seen you for ages. *she has squished Kaori into her chest*
<DeathStar> *Ren slides in, as has Sabrina, Taiga, and Adeline*
<Sara> <Kaori> I was just... looking for Lady Miyuki... I got this weird message and it made me kinda worried... *she half-flails, but only a little*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...this how it always works around here?"
<DeathStar> *Isis nods to Sparkling* Hm? Oh, sure. *she leads them to a certain room in the giant mansion, passing various creepy looking things on the wall with power*
<DeathStar> <Isis> *peers at Moira, with sharp eyes* Well, lately I haven't been home, but helping Athena on the PAX. But I been missing home
<Jackieness> <Moira> "No offense... but I feel pinpricks around here."
<Sara> * Kaori pulls up the message and shows it to Isis
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Do you know where Lady Miyuki is?"
<Sara> <Kaori> Apparently it says 'Kaori, danger, mother'
<DeathStar> *something skitters beghind them and a door shuts as Moira satys that*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...definitely haunted."
<DeathStar> <Isis> Hm, nothing is wrong here, Kaori. And Miyuki is one of the strongest women I know
<Chaintan> <Kitty> youre looking well Isis
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Like that. Just like that."
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances behind her*
<DeathStar> <Isis> Thank you, Kitty. *she smiles*
<DeathStar> *more doors shut behind them and skittering*
<DeathStar> *And sounds of stuff moving on the ceiling*
<Chaintan> 6*As they enter a new hall way, chandelliers rattle and sway
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I want out of here
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Even if I know what it is
<DeathStar> *she apparently is using her future vision*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...so... what is it?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You'll see in a few minutes
<DeathStar> *Adeline touches her face, paling*
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the den, where Isis motions at Miyuki in a rocking chair*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... can't I have a hint? I'd like to prepare."
<DeathStar> <Isis> Miyu, dear. Kaori is here to see you
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Dozens.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I'm suddenly glad Nicolette didn't arrive here yet
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...how does THAT..." *gestures at Miyuki and the rockign chair* "...accoutn for all of this?!" *whirls aorund the environment with her hand*
<Sara> <Kaori> Lady Miyuki? *she blinks at Moira being so nervous*
<Chaintan> 6*Paintings eyes move as they finally arrive at the foyer Miyuki had settled in.1 <Miyuki> Oh, I did not realize we would have guests. 6*Turning in her chair, the seemingly ageless white fox turns to look at the newly arrived visitors while behind her dozens upon dozens of glowing eyes peek out from the inky blackness of the room behind her.
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *actually takes a step back*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... ....
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...exactly!"
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> children, dont be shy say hello
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Ungh
<Sara> * Kaori seems oddly unphased by this
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I still don't know what's going on."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "H-hello, I'm Sparkling Justice, Luna's Maka!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I know grandma once joked you were trying to turn the world into foxes. But wow
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> So many eyes.
<Chaintan> 6*from the darkness, the many eyes come into view as being numerous kitsune and Famfrit children, here and there are some gitari children as well
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... I'm not sure how to react here."
<Sara> <Kaori> Lady Miyuki, I got a weird message and felt like I should make sure you and Lady Kasha were all right
<Sara> * She doesn't tend to call them her mothers, even though they are...
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> I was never intending to overtake any race but...ugh some wives....
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... quite."
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Am I old enough to be listening to this?"
<DeathStar> *Isis seems to be peering off to the side*
<Chaintan> 6*Stepping forwards Miyuki approaches Kaori1 <Miyuki> I must confess our youngest chewed on my new datapad 6*she holds one with a teething famfrit
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty whispers "told you"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So it is nothing/
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So... there is no danger...?"
<Sara> * Kaori looks at her mother and holds out her own pad, with the weird corrupt message
<Sara> <Kaori> I've been having weird dreams and I got this message
<DeathStar> <Ren> Dreams?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "That was a pretty specific way of chewing."
<DeathStar> *as Kaori reaches out her datapad, the two are in reach of each other and something glows*
<DeathStar> *between them*
<Sara> <Kaori> Aah?
<Chaintan> 6*Delicately Miyuki takes the datapad, eyeing the date and time1 <Miyuki> hmmm...it shouldnt have sent you that error, since I couldnt read it it should have remained as 'unread' So I think its something else using my signal as a proxy?
<DeathStar> *the traces of reality in Miyuki reacting to Kaori's powers*
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> ah....that
<Sara> <Kaori> So someone is messing with you in some way then...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...o...this supposed to happen?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Interesting
<Chaintan> 6* Miyuki shakes her head
<Sara> <Kaori> In my dreams... I think I've been seeing a tall guy... with black hair...?
<DeathStar> <Isis> You might not know that, but Miyuki once held some of the power long ago. And still has trace amounts of power.
<Alicia> * Sparkling squeals in delight
<Sara> <Kaori> is that what that is...
<DeathStar> *Ren blinks* You been dreaming about some dude? Don't let Hess hear that
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> No, it shouldnt, to be frank, when I held the power briefly I thought it had all been expunged from me but it seems that within close proximity it had reacted to you Kaori, even without my notice.
<Sara> * Kaori seemingly just assumed her mother was magic
<Alicia> <Celeste> "It might well be just a dream, but we should take it seriously, just in case."
<DeathStar> *Taiga muses and begins to flick through her datapad* Is it him? *she shows Warren's picture, probably forgetting Kaori has met him*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's not just a dream! It's... prophecy!"
<DeathStar> *at that moment, the mansion's internal defenses alert that stuff are landing outside the mansion*
<Sara> <Kaori> What's that noise?
<DeathStar> *Isis moves* It seems we are having company
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> actual uninvited guests
<Chaintan> 6*the many children seem to dissapear as Miyuki follows after Isis.
<Sara> <Kaori> ... Great. *she pulls out her cannon, following after them*
<DeathStar> *Isis brings up a monitor and it shows drop ships and Cobalt mercs with a strange device to capture*
<Sara> <Kaori> ... I don't suppose they are here for tea
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Looks like we need to wreck some stuff."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'm fine with that."
<Sara> <Kaori> Well then, shall we give them a welcoming party
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Can we listen in on their comms?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It would be nice if we could find a way out of her without endangering the kids
<DeathStar> *Taiga fiddles with her datapad, trying to do get into comms*
<DeathStar> *the monitors show them working their way around the house*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What are the other doors that you have?"
<Sara> * Kaori eyes the monitors, cannon at ready for conflict any moment
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> Isis...we should lock down while I go to tell these..goons to get off my property
<DeathStar> *Isis nods and works on adding up barriers and moves to go with Miyuki*
<DeathStar> *as they go off, a voice speaks in Kaori's head*
<DeathStar> <Male Voice> o..wr
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Be careful. They may be after you."
<Sara> * Kaori rubs her temple
<Sara> <Kaori> Power? *she asks no one*
<DeathStar> <Male Voice> Use your...power...to escape. Like you have...been trained..
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I have it, it's fine."
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki steps out the front door, gloweing at the sudden arrival of drop ships. 1 <Miyuki> you have no permission being here
<Sara> * Kaori closes her eyes and focuses
<Sara> * Thinking of anywhere but here
<DeathStar> *the Cobalts motion and begin to fire energy draining nets to try to capture Kaori; meanwhile, Kaori would have in the living room, the Crystal Pathways appear*
<Sara> * Kaori opens an eye and moves to go into the pathways, eyeing anyone who is in the room with her as she goes
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...so... Kaori just walked through a hole in the air."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ....
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Yeah. Should we follow/
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What aboutb the bad guys?"
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We can handle them, right?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> And if we can't and a bombing happens/
<DeathStar> *Isis meanwhile works on the house defenses to aid Miyuki*
<DeathStar> *Adeline just leaves and goes with Kaori*
<DeathStar> *Ren peaces out*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Then... everyone should evacuate, I guess."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Taiga, you go with them. I'll stay and help here.
<DeathStar> <Kitty> .... *she was about to grab Kitty and go, but nods* Fine
<DeathStar> *she walks out, motioning people to leave*
<DeathStar> <Isis> I welcome your help, Kitty. *She notes, even as Miyuki begins to beat up Cobalt offers and foxfire their asses*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Sera's abandoned people would find they have been left with cake*
<DeathStar> *at the club*
<Seraphna> **Thena noms cake**
<Alicia> * Charlotte sneaks in, eating cake.
<Seraphna> **Angeka sneaks her theories back on the board**
<DeathStar> *the message and address has been left behind by Ren about where the other's have left to*
<DeathStar> *and it feels like hours have passed*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm, maybe we should follow this message.
<Seraphna> Thena> Okay but we take my future Roman e prospect. **nabs Charlotte**
<Seraphna> *romance
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm not going to be your girlfriend."
<Seraphna> Thena> Never said that word.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But you meant it."
<Seraphna> **Thena takes her along with them**
<DeathStar> *will the two close the club for the day, since it doesn't look like anyone else will join them?*
<Seraphna> **Angela and Jaime makes four! But will a fifth rise!?**
<DeathStar> *as they make it to the teleporters to Earth, they see what look like suspicious men, and the name Kaori comes up*
<DeathStar> *it looks like they have put up scouts for her, perhaps hoping she will come back*
<Seraphna> **Angela muses** Should we like... clobber them or something?
<DeathStar> *they sit there with coats and glasses, reading papers*
<DeathStar> *one playing a deck of cards with himself and the other doing a crossword*
<Seraphna> **Jaime taps her chin then says, “My oh my, we’d better meet up with Kaori.”
<Alicia> * Charlotte eyes the card playing one. "I remember when I did that."
<DeathStar> *they goons all turn to Jaime and suddenly she is tackled and carried off*
<DeathStar> *leaving the teleporters safe to use*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Should we do something?"
<Seraphna> **Thena and Angela shrugs and move to head down, Kaelan popped out of a shadow with the real Jaime shortly after that**
<Seraphna> Thena> When they figure out it's a fake they're gonna regret it!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You set that up in advance just for that?"
<Seraphna> Thena> No one ever said my clones have to look like me. People jsut assume that like everything else about me.
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the mansion and see the drop ships on fire, cobalts hanging up in trees, and other crazy things; but 2 of the remaining ones have Miyuki in a net, who angerily making fox noises*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's not what I was asking."
<Seraphna> **Jaime huffs and uses a Rock Trap on them, trying to grab their legs in rock**
<Seraphna> **ANgela meanwhile leaps for them, forming armor and her sword**
<Alicia> * Charlotte moves to try to rescue Miyuki, despite not being sure how.
<DeathStar> *the Cobalts are quickly overwhelmed*
<DeathStar> *as they tryh to get free*
<DeathStar> *turning to look for their attackers, and Angela tackles them*
<Seraphna> **Thena pops over to join in the beat down**
<DeathStar> *Miyuki is freed. They gained an angry Miyuki*
<DeathStar> *Isis steps out* <Isis> I'm sorry to inform you but ... the others vanished into thin air
<DeathStar> *dun dun..dun*
<Seraphna> Angela> The mystery of the missing everyone huh?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It is a mystery."
<DeathStar> <Isis> I just hope they are okay.
<DeathStar> *Isis frowns like Erevis*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So... did they teleport or something?
<DeathStar> *Isis shows video of Kaori forming the crystal pathways and the team walking into it, then it vanishing - in the living room*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Ah... they went to that Centerpoint place.
<Chaintan> 6*Despite being a very angry fox, Miyuki presses a quick peck to her wife
<DeathStar> *Isis snuggles into her*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Where Kaori's Momma is.
<DeathStar> <Isis> But Centerpoint is gone
<DeathStar> <Isis> I thought that place was used to make Yggdrasil
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Haven't people said that like a dozen times and it always turns out to not be true?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If only I'd gotten here sooner..."
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> if she can get there...maybe my limited resonance with centerpoint could get us there?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I mean, I thought my brother was lost forever in it and he's back now.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Are you sure you can do it, sweetie?
<Seraphna> Angela> If it did become Yggrassil, than theoretically that space is still there, in Yggdrassil.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... are we really going there?"
<DeathStar> <Isis> It might be a one way trip
<DeathStar> *she warns*
<Seraphna> Angela> So it's tuesday?>
<DeathStar> <Isis> *sighs*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I mean... I think we're all getting a little numb to risk.
<DeathStar> <Isis> *takes Miyuki's hand* I think then you should retire
<DeathStar> <Isis> And do something else
<Seraphna> Jaime> You know me sis.
<Seraphna> Angela> I did retire!
<DeathStar> *she turns to Miyuki and begins to use her psionics to focus on what little bit of reality power is inside of Miyuki*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "..." *pauses, deep in thought* "Alright. I'll go."
<Seraphna> **Thena winks at her**
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* meanwhile, during all this, Kaori lands on top of the others in a Crystal Hallway
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm broken
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks annoyed
<DeathStar> *Taiga floats down somehow*
<Alicia> * Sparkling drops through shortly after. "HEY, NO FAAAAAAIR!"
<Sara> <Kaori> Oof!
<Sara> <Kaori> RenRen, when did you get so... non-pillowy! *she says, as if Ren hasn't always been how she is now*
<DeathStar> *the hallways look a lot like the place of Kaori's dream, but instead of being a giant world like structure - hallways. The crystals not all bright and shining, but a dull, dark throb of light going off now and then*
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs into fox form*
<DeathStar> *yipping*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...where are we?" *smooths out her skirt as she stands up*
<Sara> * Kaori gets up, looking around
<DeathStar> *Ren climbs Kaori*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think the Pathways
<Sara> <Kaori> It's awfully dark in here, but... I suppose we're inside of Centerpoint?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The remnants of Centerpoint
<Sara> <Kaori> Except... does Centerpoint even exist anymore? That's...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Good question
<Sara> * Kaori starts to walk
<Alicia> * Celeste, stepping through belatedly, actually not landing on anyone, responds. "Isn't that part of Yggdrasil now?"
<DeathStar> *as they walk along, the hallways are as twisted and maze like as ever, though as they walk, one hallway just ends in the abyss, Adeline pausing and glancing down*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Long drop. *the abyss seems to go on and on*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I do not care for this place at all
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I've seen something like this before... but I can't remember which anime."
<Sara> * Kaori scoffs at Taiga's reaction
<Sara> <Kaori> I've been having dreams about crystals lately... and a tall man with black hair
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I also do not care for this place much."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh yeah. I was asking you about people. *she shows Darien's picture* Him?
<DeathStar> *as they walk down the hallways, they pass Miyuki and company, even though they entered the Pathways much, much later, just entering*
<DeathStar> *like time is all timey wimey*
<Sara> <Kaori> Is... is this really the time? *she blinks* Lady Miyuki?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, if you want to find the identify of your mysterious boyfriend
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is that Mamoru?"
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki leans on Isis for support
<Sara> <Kaori> Well excuse me, but I don't like boys. *huff*
<DeathStar> *all boys in the group vanish.*
<Sara> <Kaori> ...
<DeathStar> *wait, there was none*
<Sara> <Kaori> Lady Miyuki, are you okay?
<DeathStar> *Isis hugs her*
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> Not exactly, unlike you, I really shouldnt be here and this is eating whats left inside of me in a very bad way.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Miyuki and the power do not mix very well
<Sara> <Kaori> Th-Then you shouldn't have come here! *her ears droop a bit, looking guilty*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... it's alright to leave the field."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe we should head back then."
<Sara> <Kaori> Please don't push yourself, L-Lady Miyuki...
<DeathStar> <Isis> It is okay. *she pats Kaori* We are here to help you
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki huffs and pats Kaori on the head
<DeathStar> <Ren> *yips*
<Sara> * Kaori eyes the maze-like corridors, thinking she might know which way to go
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> I would be a poor mother if I did that
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If we can figure out where here is. *she shows another picture* Is it him? *she shows the face of the man in Kaori's dreams*
<Sara> <Kaori> ... well thank you, just know I don't feel like you had to go this far for little old me
<Sara> * Kaori's ears stand up as she looks at the picture
<Sara> <Kaori> ???
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oooh! We found him!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well that got a reaction
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is Wind
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The holder of the reality power once
<Sara> <Kaori> I feel like I've actually seen them once before, maybe...?
<Seraphna> **Angela raises a brow** She's dreaming of Wind?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wasn't he supposed to be bad news?"
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I have this strange feeling I should be upset."
<Seraphna> Angela> Well, it's complicated.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Wind reformed and worked with Cheryl and Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Isis> But I thought he died myself after the multiverse collapse
<DeathStar> *as they walk along the hallways, they soon come to the center where they see a large crystal like center that is a lot like in Kaori's dreams, but just room sized now that goes on and on and on*
<DeathStar> *with little structures and buildings*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Fascinating
<Sara> * Kaori peers around at the empty room
<Sara> * Well, presumably empty
<DeathStar> *they are partially lit, having power, and in the middle is an area much like the Avatar Airym's area*
<DeathStar> *though it's partially damaged*
<Sara> <Kaori> It's not as bright in here as it used to be, but then, Centerpoint isn't as it used to be, either... *she walks up to that area*
<Sara> <Kaori> If Centerpoint even -is-, now...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That it even exists is amazing
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes as crystals rise up from the ground and it tries to build itself structures, poorly*
<Sara> <Kaori> Maybe it doesn't. Maybe this is all me. I don't know. The world stopped making full sense a long time ago, I think.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I understand..."
<DeathStar> *Kaori would reach the hub with the avatar systems and other consoles*
<DeathStar> *they all appear dead*
<Sara> <Kaori> Whatever it is, it looks like it's struggling... *she looks at the consoles, trying to turn them on, though they appear dead*
<Sara> <Kaori> ... *she lets out a soft sigh, in thought*
<DeathStar> <Isis> *whispers to Miyuki* This is over me
<DeathStar> *the console tries to boot up, then it does, showing the power is at 35%*
<Seraphna> Angela> Well there were people even on the PAX looking for Kaori, so something had to happen to trigger all this.
<Alicia> * Charlotte likewise tries to turn one on, and inevitably... fails?
<Sara> <Kaori> 35%? I don't know if that's a lot...
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki gently pets Isis
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Don't ask me."
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> its alright
<DeathStar> *The Avatar appears, looking a bit like a mix of Airym and Miyuki* H-Hello. *she twitches, the progrma looking barely on*
<Sara> * Kaori looks at the Avatar, ears twitching. "...Cennie?" She sounds unsure, given everything.
<DeathStar> <Avatar> Kaori. *she pauses, as if trying to remember something* It is good to see you. H-How... *she flickers off, then on* How are you
<DeathStar> *Taiga to Moira* Be ready for anything
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Wow, Miyuki is like, the template for all Fox Mommas.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> When you have the best, why settle
<Jackieness> <Moira> *nods and moves a hand to her sword*
<Sara> <Kaori> Please do not push yourself. A lot has changed. The universe is different now. And... well... I never thought I'd even see you again. I've just... I've been trying to just live my life... be with Hessie... but things still get... complicated sometimes...
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> oh...thats right
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses** I have much to learn from Miyu.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki rattles a tail, dumping out an assortment of things from food, to outfits...knicknacks chairs till Hes pops out.
<DeathStar> <Avatar Cennie> This place is tied... to--you... And your development. This pathway is regrowing as you...get stronger... *she notes, smiling* It isa reflection of your..heart and power
<Alicia> * Celeste looks to Kaori, as if to say "You're telling me."
<DeathStar> *Ren jerks at Hess being there*
<Sara> * Kaori jerks too.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess mutters something about Social Links as she gets to her feet
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Wait, are we really in Kaori's heart?
<Sara> <Kaori> So this... isn't Centerpoint? Or... is Centerpoint just... that tied to me, now?
<Sara> * She holds out a hand to Hess and helps her up
<DeathStar> <Avatar Cennie> You could look at it... as a combination... or both.
<DeathStar> *of
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Diving into people's hearts... that's really weird."
<Seraphna> Thena> I wonder if we can decorate her heart and thus increase it's power.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "May I relax now, Taiga?"
<Sara> <Kaori> ... I really... didn't think I'd see you again. Cennie. *a single tear streams down her cheek*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Of course she'll always be in your heart."
<Sara> <Kaori> Lady Miyuki, meet ... one of my other ... moms. *she gestures at the Avatar*
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki nods to the Avatar
<DeathStar> *The Avatar Cennie hugs Kaori, then nods to Miyuki, posing like her*
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> Kaori is a good girl
<DeathStar> <Isis> ... Huh
<DeathStar> <Avatar Cennie> She is. I-I am proud o... of her... *flickers in and out*
<Sara> * Kaori looks a little concerned
<DeathStar> <Avatar Cennie> D-Do not worry. As you get stronger I b...believe I will get more stable
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki tries to reach out, to see if she can stabilize Cennie
<DeathStar> <Wind> *behind Kaori, and next to Hess* Assuming she lives that long. *Cennie seems to relax a little as Miyuki touches her*
<Seraphna> Thena> How do we make her stronger? Training? Cake? ...**gasps** TRAINING TO EAT CAKE?
<DeathStar> *Taiga screams at Wind appearing among them*
<Sara> <Kaori> Well... then I guess I will have to keep... um... listening to this... Wind? Guy? *she looks at Taiga*
<Sara> * Kaori falls over
<DeathStar> *And Ren leaps up high on Kaori's head*
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh hi Wind.
<Sara> * And then Kaori quickly gets back to her feet
<DeathStar> <Wind> *Stands there - is he the original deal, a C'en copy, or what*
<Sara> <Kaori> Good lord! It's you!
<Seraphna> Jaime> **looks him over curiously**
<DeathStar> <Wind> Kaori Nue.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oh wow..."
<Sara> <Kaori> Th...that's my name, yes...
<DeathStar> *Wind stands there, a much more imposing Darien/Death Star*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *draws her sword*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Shall we get to the point?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Kaori has been targetted by a big player and is using pawns to get to her
<Sara> <Kaori> But why? Is it because of my power?
<Alicia> * Celeste nods, expecting something like this. "Do you know who?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> No one is going to use my girlfriend for anything
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yes. If you want to surrender it to me, go ahead. Or you can keep getting stronger. They know you hold the keys to beating and changing reality. The Serpents are after you, using any tool - the Cobalts, the shapeshifters, even empires
<DeathStar> <Wind> And you might even have traitors in your team who might betray you
<Sara> <Kaori> Well, yeah. Zayne.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *frowns*
<DeathStar> (Zayne wouldn't hve joined yet)
<Sara> (My bad)
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Traitors?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That seems seedy to me.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "He said might, not definitely."
<Sara> <Kaori> You have helped me up to now. I may not know you very well, but I thank you for that. Because of you we made it through today.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I would just becareful about who joins you in the upcoming days, if you are certain of your current roster. *Wind nods* You need to keep getting stronger.
<DeathStar> *He turns and eyes Hess*
<DeathStar> <Wind> The girlfriend. Hm. You need to get stronger, too
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch and her eyes glance slightly to the side to look at Hess
<DeathStar> *Wind touches Hess' forehead*
<Seraphna> Thena> So we need to feed Kaori lots and lots of cake.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Does that really work?
<Sara> <Kaori> Cake heals you, it doesn't increase your attack power! ... it might increase your EXP gain by 1% though...
<Seraphna> Thena> Well no one objected.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Cake is good, but it doesn't make you stronger."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Unless you're hungry."
<Seraphna> Thena> So... burgers?
<DeathStar> *Hess has a jolt of pain go through her body that makes her convulse for a second; her bad luck power increases, since it's her favorite power*
<DeathStar> <Wind> There.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You have to train."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Does all your training involve food by chance, Thena?
<Seraphna> Thena> Gotta load up on energy to train!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We all need to get stronger. Well, mostly you. I'm already a powerhouse."
<Sara> <Kaori> H...Hessie? Are you okay? Did he do something weird?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think he fried her
<Seraphna> **Thena floats Charlotte upside down**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *studies Charlotte, making a note to keep an eye on her*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "See? This is nothing to me."
<Seraphna> Thena> *gasps* She isn't flailing comically!
<DeathStar> <Avatar Cennie> Kaori. Would you like to return to the real world?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do you want me to?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> ngh....I think he forced a level up...but fuck it hurts
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs into her humanoid form and rubs Hess' back*
<Sara> <Kaori> It's probably time to. *she hugs on Hess* I'll give you a massage later, okay?
<Chaintan> <Hess> you dont have to Kaokao
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We need to get back to Normal World, not Crystal World."
<Sara> <Kaori> Hey, I'm offering.
<Seraphna> Thena> Can we stop in Ice Cream World?
<Sara> <Kaori> Wind, I'll keep what you said in mind. Cennie... I... will see you again.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And now you're making that one up."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "If you know the way!"
<Seraphna> **Thena wiggles Charlotte in the air**
<Alicia> * Charlotte now flails comically
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch, accutely aware that there is almost certainly an Ice Cream World out there, statistically
<DeathStar> *Avatar Cennie nods and whispers a goodbye to her on a low channel only Kaori can hear; suddenly, the group, minus Wind, appear in the club*
<Seraphna> **Thena nods, feeling complete**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Stop that, I'm a powerful magician!"
<DeathStar> *Taiga behind the podium, Ren in a seat, Adeline in a seat*
<DeathStar> *almost like they never left*
<Seraphna> **Jaime hops off Adeline's lap and fixes her skirt**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...hey, the food is still warm."
<DeathStar> *theer is ice cream on their desks, like Kaori used their power*
<Seraphna> Thena> Gasp!!! ICE CREAM!
<DeathStar> *big ice cream*
<Seraphna> **THena pounces**
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch and she collects her ice cream
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Hey did I get back here?
<DeathStar> *she looks aruond, having been with Kitty*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Nope, you're still back there.
<Seraphna> **Sneaks ice cream**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That was tiring
<Chaintan> <Kitty> welcome back
<Seraphna> Jaime> Glad you're alright... umm... everyone.
<Sara> <Kaori> Did you buy us all ice cream?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I will assign extra protection to Kaori for the meantime
<Chaintan> <Kitty> maybe
<Seraphna> Thena> Tell me Kaori has an ice cream power now!
<Seraphna> Thena> Wiggle her to see if more Ice Cream appears.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "As long as it doesn't interfere with me getting to know you all, I'll be willing to help protect Kaori."
<Alicia> * Charlotte eats her ice cream.
<Sara> <Kaori> I suppose I'll have to deal with less privacy for a while, but hopefully not none. *she notes*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, I can assign Hess as your body guard
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If you want
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 24/7
<Sara> <Kaori> Hessie, let's get you home. *she holds out Hess's ice cream to her*
<Seraphna> Thena> Ohhh yeah...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And don't forget to start training."
<Chaintan> <Hess> alright
<Seraphna> **Thena hums and tells her Mom about the goons hanging around**
<Sara> <Kaori> I've literally been training in my sleep. *she notes with a handwave as they go*
<DeathStar> *cut to the goons being beaten up by cat guards*
<Chaintan> 6*Taking the ice cream with one hand and wrapping the other around Kaori's shoulder
<Seraphna> Angela> Why didn't you think of that earlier?
<Seraphna> Thena> There was no time!
<DeathStar> <Thena> ... meeting is adjourned
<DeathStar> *Taiga
<DeathStar> *Taiga signs and slams the gravel down
<DeathStar> -Session Ends-
* Ariel has left #Fumoffu-Session11 (Leaving)
