<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.5.19 - a few days after Session 466
<DeathStar> Location: The PAX
<DeathStar> 6* The club room has been set up and Maka stuff is on the table for Sparkling with a cake by Sabrina, and magical items dance about as people come into the room. Taiga sits behind her desk, deadpanned
<DeathStar> 6* Sabrina claps her hands, pleased with her work, having a large gift set out by the cake for when Sparkling comes in
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces around pawing at magic items**
<Seraphna> **Si yawns and leans on Taiga**
<Alicia> * Charlotte eyes the magic items
<DeathStar> *Ren stares at the decorations, rubbing her head* Should I have gotten the maka girl something?
<DeathStar> *they seem to be cute little magical toys*
<Alicia> * Sparkling eventually enters, still looking a little dazed, but recovering.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Happy Birthday!
<DeathStar> *she has the toys shoot streamers*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oh. Thank you!"
* Jackieness has joined #Fumoffu-Session14
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes a seat and stretches, looking like she just woke up, extra evident by the mud suit being a mud suit.**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina hands her the present* Here you go
<Alicia> * Sparkling opens the present eagerly
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a magical broom*
<DeathStar> *for riding or cleaning things*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oh, neat!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, even though most of the club isn't here, lets begin
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You can eat your cake and listen
<DeathStar> *Ren takes a seat and steals a slice, chewing and Sabrina also takes a seat*
<DeathStar> *Lenneth comes in and takes a seat*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles to Lenneth** Hey sis.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth nods*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *enters the club room*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hey sis!" *takes some cake*
<Seraphna> Thena> Sis?
* Chaintan has joined #Fumoffu-Session14
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lenneth gave us a request that I have no problem taking
<DeathStar> *Ren chews on the birthday cake*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Would you rather I used the japanese?"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Let me explain. *she goes to the board they use, eyeing the meth gator stuff* ... what?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Use the Japanese." *moves to take cake*
<DeathStar> *she erases it, shaking her head with disapproval*
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "Hai, Oneesama!"
<DeathStar> *Ren blinks at that*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> How many of you know about the multiverse and what causes it? *she looks to see if Kaori is there*
<Seraphna> **Somewhere, Angela knows she has been crossed**
<Seraphna> Thena> I'm from it!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I learnt a bit from mom."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm pretty sure you're from Athena, but you were born here.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... that's more Nicolette's thing than mine? And even she's not big on that."
<Seraphna> Thena> **blinks** I guess so.
<Seraphna> Thena> But Momma Jen is from it!
<Ariel> * Nicolette mumbles about alternate realities, and math. So much math...
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "See?"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Let me give a quick lesson then.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *takes a seat with her cake*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> There was a previous multiverse. *she puts a dot in the center* This is us, the Prime Universe, then there was a thousands of strange realities all over with no bearings
<DeathStar> *she makes a lot of other dots*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Looks like the universe so far."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> There were two other realities connected to us, something akin to the Mirror Universe - an alternate reality and a reality made by Wind. *she makes two realities in the form of a trinity.* The Alternate Reality formed when Cheryl changed history on Centerpoint.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Creating a branching path at that moment.
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods. So far, she's learnt this.
<Sara> * Kaori yawns
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> But then Centerpoint exploded and all this went away, so we believe. *she erases the board exept for the Prime Universe*
<DeathStar> <Ren> That sucks
<Alicia> <Michiru> *glances around, as if looking for someone* "No Templar?"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> So here's where my request comes in. Fate said that the multiverse is coming back; but only when major events happen, like Cheryl changing history.
<DeathStar> *she makes a line and forms a new dot from the Prime Universe, indicating a new reality has formed*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We need to learn what the Empress is up to if we're going to take the PAX back. We need to learn what the enemy is up to. What the Dark Ones are up to. And other things. I'm hoping we can learn stuff in these branching realities.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods, her mud slowly forming into a dress.**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks up nd then around* "...is that the sort of thing to speka of ON the PAX?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm sure it'll be reported. Anyway, this might be a little dangerous.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We're doing this?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But if anyone is interested, come with me
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We should keep the team rather small, though (meaning don't bring too many characters)
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If anyone is interested in contesting the current ownership of the PAX. Yeah, I'm coming."
<DeathStar> <Ren> So wait, we're just going to hop into alternate realities? Is it that easy?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have a method. When I was younger we had a device. *she studies Nicolette, Noire, Angela, the others*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You can think on it
<DeathStar> *Taiga rises and steps out of the room*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I'm suddenly glad the Templar isn't here."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why?
<Sara> * Kaori just snacks. She doesn't really care to hear about all the alternate universe things.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Hmmm. I think I'll pass on this
<DeathStar> *Sabrina rubs hs cheek*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses to herself**
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena is ready for duty!
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Aren't Templars against all this inter-universe travelling stuff?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, I didn't know that. *she stands up* Anyway, I'm going to go. *she steps out of the club*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "They are against what they pereive as unnatural."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This shoul be amusing...regardless." *stands and moves after Taiga*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> 6* For those who decide to come along, they arrive at Asteroid C. They find Kitty and Hess there, where the old Strikers used to do their things. And the old Strikers equipment laying around
<Sara> * Kaori is here, but only because someone said there would be food. She frowns.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, this is neat."
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves to hook up the Strikers equipment to a device*
<Seraphna> **Jaime, Thena and Si'Chii are there, each for obvious reasons and to keep Sera's characters to 3.**
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think Yuki said there is food in the fridge here
<Chaintan> <Kitty> theres a reason why we ordered duplicates...so where are they 6*muffled from within storage while Hess waves
<DeathStar> <Ren> As well as games
<Jackieness> <Noire> "But how old is it?"
<Alicia> * Michiru looks over the equipment. She's felt like reality-hopping is within her expertise.
<Sara> * Kaori waves
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Uh, I'd say...
<Chaintan> <Hess> Pardon the mess, mom's doing inventory check and cleaning
<DeathStar> <Taiga> When I was 16ish?
<DeathStar> *she notes, looking that age now
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, before my time."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So how is this going to work?"
<Sara> * Kaori yawns again
<DeathStar> *Taiga finishes and the device powers up*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There we go
<Seraphna> Si> Yeah back when we were just teenagers! **says, looking the same age as Taiga**
<DeathStar> *Taiga hands everyone little wrist watches* Try not to lose these
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And these are?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte puts one one, Michiru following suit, looking over it as if it's a cool toy.
<DeathStar> *Ren puts her's on* <Taiga> These are your emergency exit watches. Press the button and it will return you to Asteroid C.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *slips on the watch*
<Seraphna> **Jaime fits hers on and Thena poses after putting hers on**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We don't know what kind of situations we are jumping into, but we're going to be mapping the multiverse as we jump. *Lenneth takes a seat at a console*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Oh wow, this is the coolest."
<DeathStar> *putting a headset on. Taiga puts her watch on* <Taiga> Kitty, you got everything? *she calls*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> yeah yeah just let me lock this up then we're good. Hess should be getting in with you guys
<Sara> * Kaori glances at Hess and then shrugs, joining the others in that case
<Chaintan> 6*On cue, Hess scurries to take seat and buckle in
<Seraphna> **Jaime, Thena and Si get ready too**
<DeathStar> *Taiga leaves a watch for Kitty and moves to get ready*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "When we get there, do you need us to actually do anything?"
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty eventually snaps up her watch and gets in, nodding to Taiga.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We'll be searching for information in these realities that has to do with our current adventures
<DeathStar> <Taiga> See if these alternate realities has anything that might be helpeful
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Is this technology that we really should have sitting around? The ethics of this..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Don't worry. Only I know how to work it, but I also keep it dismantled
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is that really what you're worried about?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 3
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 2
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 1
<DeathStar> *she pulls a lever and they all are lurched, as if they are going down the 2001 tunnel*
<DeathStar> -Unknown Reality 1-
<DeathStar> *the group appear on Earth, apparently the pod jetisoning them there*
<DeathStar> *and into water*
<DeathStar> *it looks like Earth has been flooded, like major flooding*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Oh no! Climate change!"
<DeathStar> *Ren flails and turns into fox mode, getting onto Charlotte's head*
<DeathStar> *her teeth holding onto her watch*
<DeathStar> *Taiga sputters*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Didn't we hear about this possibility?
<DeathStar> *Lenneth speaks to them through the watches* Did you all make it safely?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It is wet!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A flooded Earth was a possibility?
<Seraphna> Thena> Aunt Len! I'm WET!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yep.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... that better not be an innuedo
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's not."
<DeathStar> *she notes darkly through the watch*
<Chaintan> <Hess> water world?
<Seraphna> Thena> Is actual water!
<Seraphna> Thena> Need see Auntie Len naked for other one to work!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *shiftsfrom her unfirom into a bikini* "Better!"
<DeathStar> *Hess would recognize that they near where Kitty and Hess live, but it's underwater. Even Miyuki's house is under water*
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts her own clothes into a swimsuit**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... too much information."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... I don't suppose Kitty's supplies contain a raft
<Chaintan> <Kitty> of course I have rafts
<DeathStar> *Taiga thumbs up*
<Alicia> * Charlotte does similar to Jaime.
<Sara> * Kaori floats
<Alicia> * Michiru is just soaked.
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks soaked, too, her ears flattened*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty and Hess deploy rafts.
<DeathStar> *Taiga climbs onto it*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Can anyone fly?
<DeathStar> *Ren gets onto the raft and shakes herself dry*
<Seraphna> Thena> I can! But only about 20 feet above the... I guess water.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... sortof."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *through the watch* I am doing a scan. It looks like this Earth has suffered terrible climate change due to Luna getting close.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *climbs on to the raft* "Then you are nominated to scout ahead."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> It seems that Sparkling destroyed the moon
<Seraphna> **Sera's people get omn the raft**
<Chaintan> 6*Hess climbs in and helps Kaori in
<Sara> * Kaori flails but gets in
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...how did Sparkling destroy the moon?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... holy shit."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth shows images from the watch and shows Sparkling punching the wrong spot, and the moon cracked*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... Maka are strong..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Are we certain that is not Dias in drag?"
<Alicia> <Michiru> "It's not Dias."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Just saying."
<DeathStar> *as they float along, they soon come across a shuttle, a PAX shuttle, scanning the area for people*
<Alicia> * Michiru waves to the shuttle
<Sara> <Kaori> Well that isn't ominous or anything
<DeathStar> *it seems to have not noticed them yet*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You think it's a bad idea to get it's attention?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Given the amount of water, it seems odd tha there is a PAX shuttle here still lookng for survivors, don't you think?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You think they're looking for something else?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It is possible.. any mindreaders in our group?"
<DeathStar> *Ren peers at Charlotte, Nicolette, Noire, Kitty, Hess, Kaori*
<DeathStar> <Ren> What's the vote?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Get their attention?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Or not
<Seraphna> *Thena muses and reaches out to feel the minds on the shuttle**
<Alicia> * Charlotte tries to feel the minds, but can only feel the hearts. Oh well, that works too.
<DeathStar> *the shuttle seems to be floating around, definitely searching the ocean; as Thena reaches out to the shuttle, she would find it is.... a familiar mind.*
<DeathStar> *Well, as familiar as an alternate reality can be*
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks, trying to match it** I know the mind aboard...
<DeathStar> *the shuttle seems to have detected the scan and it moves over and hovers them*
<DeathStar> *then lowers and opens up, revealing what appears to be Iceheart*
<Seraphna> Thena> Well they know we here now!
<Seraphna> Thena> Oh hi... Ruby?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> What the hell are you all doing out? *she blinks at Nicolette* And what is she doing here?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sightseeing?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... it's complicated."
<DeathStar> *Iceheart looks suspicious, scanning them with something*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> You need a lift?
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty and Hess nod
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Please."
<DeathStar> *Iceheart nods and motions them into the shuttle*
<Sara> * Kaori makes a curious face, head tilted, but boards
<DeathStar> *Ren leaps into and shivers, while Taiga hops in*
<DeathStar> *Iceheart eyes her device and muses*
<DeathStar> *putting it up on a shelf where one could get it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *climbs into the shuttle*
<Ariel> * Nicolette climbs out awkwardly, and uses magic to gather up the water and throw it back into the... flood.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty and Hess climb on, and deflate the rafts to pack away...just in case
<DeathStar> *then she moves to the front* Where to, PAX or Geyze? *she asks slowly*
<Alicia> * Michiru climbs on board the shuttle, followed by Charlotte.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> PAX please.
<DeathStar> *Iceheart nods and flies them along, while Iceheart types something onto her personal computer*
<DeathStar> *looking up something it seems*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Nico, do you know a spell to warm someone up?
<DeathStar> *she sneezes*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, fixing her swimsuit into a dress**
<DeathStar> *they soon arrive at the PAX where they see the ship is more militaristic*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Oh, that's something to try..."
<DeathStar> *the ship's weapons have been brought out and The Progenitor defenses armed*
<Ariel> * Nicolette pulls out a magician's wand, and conjures heat and wind to make... magic hairdryer.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh, thank you. *she smiles, her tails fluffing up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "HMmm... PAX looks less cozy."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... so much for PAX being a haven of peace..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh, nice. *she smiles, too, as the shuttle lands.*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> *she eyes the group oddly*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm. So Iceheart, finished checking us out?
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Well. *she notes as stnading in the hanger is the Empress, in what seems to be armor and a group of followers, including Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I had to report you. I mean, one of you is dead, the rest of you is on the PAX or on Geyze.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, thought that could be a possibility too.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yet you are not shapeshifters
<Sara> .
<Sara> (Oops)
<Sara> (Hand slipped)
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... oh."
<Seraphna> Jaime> We're sort of from another reality.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Eheh... that's a sensible precaution."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, there goes that secret!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Busted already
<DeathStar> *Taiga slumps*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Makes things less of a hassle.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *just stares at Jaime*
<Alicia> * Charlotte sighs, not really wanting to argue at this point
<DeathStar> <Empress> *studies Jaime and the group, walking to the shuttle* So you are invaders from another reality
<Alicia> <Michiru> "We're not invaders."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not invaders, more like intel scouts.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Jaime, language!"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *waves her hands defensively* "No no, visitors, not invaders!"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Don't call us spies!"
<DeathStar> *Taiga facepalms*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs** You could let me finish.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Kitty, make a note to gag Jaime
<Seraphna> Jaime> She's perfectly capable of reading me.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Erevis kids are bad at lying, I guess."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> noted
<Seraphna> Jaime> That too.
<Sara> <Kaori> I am Kaori
<Sara> * She notes as if that's all that matters
<Seraphna> Jaime> We have no reason to lie either. So no idea why you're all acting like I gave up a ghost.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *slips off her glasses and rubs the bridge of her nose, very Cassandra-like*
<DeathStar> *she glances at her Jaime, then at the others* <Empress> .... So you came here to get intel for your world. *she glances at Kaori* Kaori.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Do we have a Kaori on file here?
<DeathStar> *She glances at the others*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Lying, and not saying things that will provoke people unnessisarily, are NOT the same thing!"
<DeathStar> *the Taiga here shakes her head and moves to look into it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Charlotte. The adopted daughter of Stella Akai, also known as Red Fox. You probably know her, if not me?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Yeah, we're looking into the angles our enemies might have used.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Red Fox is known to me, and Charlotte. *she peers at Nicolette* Though seeing this one alive is rather uncanny
<Alicia> <Michiru> "We're sorry if it seemed like we were trying to invade your world."
<Sara> * Kaori looks at Nicolette
<DeathStar> <Empress> So what were you hoping to achieve here. We have attacks by Dark Ones, Makai, and more.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Find out anything we can about those parties to see how they align with our own attackers.
<DeathStar> *Taiga perk up*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Uncanny? Me? It's too early for me to meet my curtain call, isn't it...?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hopefully get more sense of their overall goals and strategy.
<DeathStar> <Empress> I see no reason to help you. *she talks with them, moving along the way. Prepare for a brief info dump*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I mean, there's no reason not to help us either.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *twitches s they move along*
<DeathStar> *it looks like this world does not have the Serpent - how strange, and their problems, and so the shapeshifters and all that are not a problem. The Dark Ones are still a problem, and the Empress still has taken over, though it looks like she wants to kick Erevis into shape. Perhaps due to branching off of the Prime Universe, events here are playing off similiarly, but if the Serpent one in this reality, it would cause all realities to fall, so the Serpent is not here.*
<DeathStar> *It seems Makai are the main problem and that they are rising in number - and that Sparkling Justice is the biggest one of them all, having risen up after she killed millions with her failed thing with Luna*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "...oh shit..."
<DeathStar> *having fallen into despair, Sparkling was unable to control herself and Sabrina and Nicolette fell. Leading to a powerful Makai.*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well... that's not good at all, is it?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> **muses over the interesting shatterpoint** To think Magical Girls are the threat here...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Remind me not to anger Maka
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... and you thought Zayne was bad..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This is really mor of the fallen maka."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So you essentially took over because you want to make Erevis shape up. ... all this was for Erevis. But now you are dealing with a dead Earth and Makai. <Empress> Yes. So Erevis is far from my mind. I need to lead. Her weakness is far from my mind these days
<DeathStar> <Empress> The growing number of Makai have to be handled as well as the Dark Ones
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I can't imagine having that sort of power, but... I could see Sparkling ending up..." *shivers*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth on comms> To take over the PAX for such a reason. I cannot get that Empress.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *pats Nicolette* You okay?
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and looks away, observing some of the sights**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think we got everything we can get from here. Should we move on?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So you do think that Sparkling could turn, Nicolette?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It seems reasonable to me. You egg on your rival, hoping to... you know."
<Chaintan> <Hess>...kinda similar to Erevis's anime logic
<Alicia> <Michiru> "If you need to take a break from things to calm down... do so."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She is Erevis, after all."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well... yeah. She has a lot of heart. A strong maka makes a strong makai."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then best not to let her fall, hmm?" *snaps a finger* "We should move on."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess Ic an see that. Erevis refuses to accept her Progenitor side. The Empress sees that as a weakness. Erevis is missing something fundamental
<DeathStar> <Ren> And Sparkling if she fell would be a powerful makai if she lost heart
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And guilt like that..."
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and pushes a button* Hold onto someone everyone.
<DeathStar> *they move on like 2001 a space odyssey*
<DeathStar> -Unknown Reality 2-
<DeathStar> *they land on Earth again, but things feel different.*
<Seraphna> **Thena lets go of Charlotte**
<DeathStar> *The air feels a little stiffer, like things barely avoided the apocalypse*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "What's the deal with this one?"
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes Thena*
<Chaintan> <Hess> yeah...kinda wondering how bad this one is
<DeathStar> *Taiga grabs the holonet and gasps*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Whoa whoa whoa
<DeathStar> *she shows it to the group*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> what?
<Alicia> * Charlotte quickly looks
<Sara> * Kaori eyes Nicolette, wondering about Maka and the dangers of their powers
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...well... this one is even worse."
<Seraphna> Jaime> What's this one? The rifts dodn't get fixed?
<DeathStar> *it looks like this reality has no Yggdrasil, which means no Maka, nothing. Which means Kaori never saved the Mirror Universe. No Geyze, etc
<DeathStar> *so what happened to Kaori?*
<Seraphna> Jaime> No Geyze...
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks over at Nicolette
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks to Kaori
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *uses her datapad here, hoping it's close enough to this reality's systems*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Let's see if we can find out anything
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And let's make it quick."
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch and lower
<DeathStar> <Ren> So in this world's reality, the opposite happened
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I got it. I found Kaori
<Chaintan> <Hess> where?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> She's at your place.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances around* "This looks like the sort of place where roving bands of shirtless men with mohawks and Australian accents roam the wastes."
<Sara> <Kaori> So... what? Did I just...
<Sara> * Kaori makes a face
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sloth or Gluttony?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *shows Kaori. Kaori Giblin*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess reddens
<Chaintan> <Hess> wai-wait
<Sara> * Kaori looks down and buries her face
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... or maybe Lust."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess scrambles to turn it off
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hey, there's no shame!"
<Sara> <Kaori> H-Hessie...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks bummed**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "...what did I miss?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> its...just being respectful 6*reddening to the point of being luminous
<Sara> <Kaori> H-Hessie, if... I mean, if you'd like--
<Sara> * Kaori quiets herself
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Are we done here?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *wonders what led to Kaori going from the events of 300 to Kaori Giblin*
<Chaintan> <Hess>...we gotta check things out...anyway..
<Sara> <Kaori> R-Right...
<Seraphna> Jaime> O-Okay.
<DeathStar> *they soon arrive at the place, though it looks super fancy. Like better than X's place, or cheryl's mansion, or even Kitty's place*
<DeathStar> *but it still has the Kaori sensibilities*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...based on everything else said, this is not what I expected."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... there has to be a story here."
<Seraphna> THena> Kaori has become Queen of Earth? \
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty looks about while Hess strangles behind a bit
<Sara> * Kaori looks unsure as she looks around uneasily
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But....but...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *puffs cheeks*
<DeathStar> *Ren rubs Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So do we knock on the door?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> yes?
<Alicia> * Charlotte knocks
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs** I can't imagine a reality without Gnomey.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty also knocks
<DeathStar> *it opens and Kaori is wearing a sexy like gamer outfit, smiling super bright and clearly happy beyond words. Altenate Kaori is all Sara's*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> SO...bright
<DeathStar> *flails*
<Sara> <A. Kaori> Helloooo?
<Sara> * Kaori jerks and cowers
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Hi!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..what?"
<Chaintan> 6*Hess shields her eyes while Kitty presses on shades
<Sara> <A. Kaori> ... *she pauses, looking at the people there*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I love Kaori like a sister, but I didn't know she could smile like that
<Sara> <A. Kaori> What is this, a crossover episode?
<Seraphna> Thena> Yes!
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Yes."
<Chaintan> ,Kitty> I suppose?
<Seraphna> Thena> I am from the Princess Thena Show!
<Sara> <A. Kaori> Well, come in and refresh yourselves. *she gestures with a smile*
<Sara> * Kaori looks timid
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods, and Ren leads Kaori inside*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..." *walks inside*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... umm. Wow. I kind of hope we don't end up in a reality where I never became a Dark One."
<Alicia> * Charlotte walks inside
<DeathStar> <Ren> That is a higher probability
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks back and reaches for Kaori's hand
<DeathStar> <Ren> I gues that means Yuki isn't here. *she muses*
<Ariel> * Nicolette looks around, idly noting that this is another reality where she doesn't exist.
<DeathStar> <Ren> And is likely wherever the mirror universe is
<Sara> * Kaori takes Hess' hand
<Alicia> <Michiru> "...ouch."
<Chaintan> 6*Nodding mutely, Hess follows the others
<Sara> * Alt Kaori's ears twitch as she hears Yuki's name, but she says nothing in response
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So... we're here."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We won't take much of your time
<Sara> <A. Kaori> So where are all of you from? Is something bad going on there?
<DeathStar> *she glances around, peering at what she assumes is Hess' room*
<Sara> <A. Kaori> *she whispers* Is it the Magic Robot Army again?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Huh?
<DeathStar> <Ren> The what?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Magic robot army?
<Sara> <A. Kaori> Oh... Sorry... I guess maybe that hasn't happened yet. *she blinks innocently and beams*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ....
<Alicia> <Michiru> "They're not called Reploids, are they?"
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch
<DeathStar> *she glances at the others* I guess we're trying to learn things about our reality and secrets, but while yours doesn't fit the pattern of what we're looking for
<Sara> <Kaori> I said MAGIC robots.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Some of us are curious about you
<DeathStar> *she glances at Kaori*
<Sara> * A. Kaori
<Sara> * For both
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I assume things played out differently in this world with your reality powers? And that you're happy with Hess?
<Sara> <A. Kaori> Well, you seem to have your own me, so that seems kinda silly! *her ears twitch when questioned about reality powers* I mean, of course me and Hess are very happy, but what's this about reality powers?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... oh no."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...you said 'oh no'."
<Sara> * Kaori shuffles awkwardly
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... it's probably a bit rude to ask, but... do you have reality powers?"
<Sara> <A. Kaori> I mean, I'm real, and I have... fox... powers?
<Sara> * She blinks
<Sara> <A. Kaori> And I have the world record high score on Dig Dug
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Fascinating
<DeathStar> <Taiga> She never got it here.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I think I've figured out why the mirror universe didn't merge here."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So no one whas here to actually do the merging."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm lost. Like always
<Sara> <A. Kaori> Dearest? *she calls out* We have company
<DeathStar> *She raises her hands*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...so, at this rate, I could do a multiverse tour without upsetting anyone? Heh."
<DeathStar> *Taiga rubs* Well, Kaori, unless you got any questions, I guess we should go
<Chaintan> <??> Kaokao? whats going on here? 6*The voice sounding a little...deeper than expected but Hess peering up. She called Kaori Kaokao, and the figure that emerged matched in nearly every regard. The same pale lilac hair, skin, and heigh difference...just....the lack of breasts and figure spoke of something else, as a distinctly -male- form came beside this alternate Kaori.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "In our world, Kaori had special powers that she used to merge the two universes together. In this, she didn't, so she didn't, so there were never Maka, or Templars, or..."
<Chaintan> <Hess> WHAT
<DeathStar> *Taiga stares* Wait, that's not possible
<Alicia> <Michiru> "It's not?"
<Chaintan> <A.Hess>...what isnt?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is a branching reality path. From our reality
<Sara> * A. Kaori blinks curiously
<Chaintan> <Kitty>...I see..a son
<Sara> <Kaori> H-Hess, what is... what is *that*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh... my.
<Chaintan> <Hess> I- I I look like a tuxedo mask reject!
<Chaintan> <A.Hess>...thats kind of rude
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *grabs her head, and begins to mumble various math formulas*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Can a branching path produce gender swaps of us?
<Sara> <A. Kaori> Taiga? Are you all right?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Still, this is more than just a branched timeline."
<Chaintan> <A.Hess> should I get a pitcher of water and glasses?
<Sara> <Kaori> ... I have a lot of thoughts rolling around in my head and they are getting a bit overwhelming *she notes to her Hess*
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks woozy, clearly not processing this*
<Seraphna> Jaime> There are genetic treatments that can cause this...
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think we should hit the button and move on before mom overloads*
<Chaintan> <Hess> I know the feeling
<Chaintan> <A.Hess> but I was born one?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "This is a very branched timeline. It's not really weirder than my alternate version being a flying cat though."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes yes, if you cross the 1 with an a... *She nods to them* It was nice to meet you
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I hope our Kaori has a happy life like you. *and mumbles about dividing with a b*
<Sara> * A. Kaori exchanges a perplexed look with A. Hess
<Chaintan> <A.Hess> Uh..huh... 6*matching looks with A.Kaori
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "To the next universe."
<DeathStar> *Taiga warps them*
<DeathStar> -Unknown Reality 3-
<Chaintan> <A.Hess> Weirdos
<DeathStar> *they find themselves on the PAX*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I have arrived onto my domain?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Home sweet home?
<Chaintan> 6*Hess sinks into the floor
<DeathStar> *so far it looks normal*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This time.. find out information first."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> sweetheart...at least you make a beautiful man?
<Sara> * Kaori droops next to Hess
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Someone connect to the local holonet."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *is still mumbling formulas and pushes buttons on the console*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess groans
<Sara> <Kaori> ...she looked so happy *she basically murmurs to herself*
<DeathStar> *bringing up information*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... interesting.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well? Wher re we and what should we be ready for?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Nicolette, you'd be glad to hear you're on the PAX
<Alicia> * Charlotte examines the holonet.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Along with Sparkling Justice. It looks like the Empress has been hiring the Makas to aid her against the Dark Ones
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Along with a new enemy
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well... that's two in five so far!"
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Five?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga brings up information on enemy*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I am so annoyed that my people keep making ourselves into the bad guys."
<DeathStar> *using VI ships and commanding them*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You and me both."
<DeathStar> *looking like they have united all the broken factions of VI as well as factions they never even heard about under them*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** Doubt I'm doing much. Jamie never got found so I probably never came out of my shell.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We should find someone to talk to on the bridge.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Maybe some of these VI cells exist and this knowledge of their existence could be used in our own reality."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We need to find out more about them."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well VI was scattered to the winds in our reality
<Seraphna> Jaime> Or was that after the whole fight.... yeah I might have.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yet they keep showing up over and over."
<DeathStar> *Taiga helps Kaori and Hess to their feet and moves to find someone to talk to*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "It's hard to completely get rid of some enemies."
<DeathStar> *they soon come across Charlotte and Sparkling Justice, along with Sabrina. They are all in PAX Uniforms, standing with Adeline, who is in a sexy uniform*
<DeathStar> *Adeline is standing there, arms behind her back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Really commands respect..."
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks for a tail. "Really."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...how is that dress code?"
<DeathStar> *Charlotte was Nicolette
<Alicia> * Charlotte was a Maka all along!
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes another Nicolette standing there, then eyes the Alternate Nicolette*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> .....
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh my.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> A relative of yours?
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes Jaime and moves over, grabbing her arm and whispers in her ear about something, a commanding tone*
<Sara> * Kaori is quiet, but is at least on her feet now
<DeathStar> *as they are talking, Kitty would see Taiga and Kitty walk up, holding hands like a coupe. The other Taiga and Kitty deadpan* <A. Taiga> ..... Did you clone us as a surprise?
<Seraphna> **Jaime's eyes go wide, she then blinks and gently touches her forehead**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What's up?"
<DeathStar> *A. Taiga pauses, then points* It's her.
<DeathStar> <A. Taiga> Arrest her.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Anyway, brass tacks. Who is your one unique enemy that is not the Dark Ones?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... what."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what?""
<DeathStar> *Adeline narrows ehr eyes at Jaime, perhaps wondering when she got a back bone, then turns*
<Alicia> * Charlotte places her hand on her wrist, where the bracelet is.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps in front of Charlotte, arms spread out* "You'll have to go through me."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Stop. *she eyes Noire* ... Oh. So you want to go rogue and show your true colors?
<DeathStar> <Ren> What is going on?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "What is this about?!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That's what I want to go know
<Seraphna> Jaime> A lot of confusion, where I suggest we use my original strategy.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It seems appropriate now this time, especially as Charlotte is under my protection."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That person is a war criminal and has been waging war against Earth and the PAX for years.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I just got here!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks**
<Seraphna> **Thena raises her brow at Charlotte**
<DeathStar> *Ren hugs Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Lets just go. There's no reason to stay here."
<DeathStar> <Ren> No one will hurt my Charlotte
<DeathStar> *Ren nods*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... It might be best. They really seem to want to hurt you
<DeathStar> *The Alternate Taiga has pulled the Alternate Kitty behind her*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I can't imagine why, seeing as I'm from a completely different reality."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ...
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Scan them
<DeathStar> *a PAX scan goes over the group*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ..... I suppose we jumped the gun. You look like the war criminal Charlotte C--- <Ren> *coughs loudly*
<Seraphna> *Jaime sighs in annoyance** Like I said, let's try the truth more often.
<DeathStar> <A. Taiga> And why are you here?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... what did you do here, I wonder?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Trying to get intel on all our enemies by seeing how events played out in other realities.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "To find out about all the enemies of the PAX."
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes Charlotte* ... That's rich. *she mutters*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Fine. IF you exchange your information with us, we will exchange your information with us.
<DeathStar> *our info with you, blah
<DeathStar> *Ren rubs Charlotte's back*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **Leans in and whispers something to Adeline**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I'm not exactly happy about this, but..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime gives her a reassuring pat, though**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm. *she eyes Jaime* Problem? You are cheeky. *she sniffs* I fixed any problems. I prefer my meek Jaime. *She notes*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Is there a reason we should not exchange information?
<DeathStar> *she asks Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There's... some things that... are better left unsaid."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Anyway, is the Charlotte you're dealing with... Charloette, or did she get a God in her or something?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *turns and glances at Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *Taiga studies Charlotte.* <Adeline> God?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is Lorelei not dealing with the Tareh Gods in this reality?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Let's assume a no on the latter. Do explain the siutation."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> She grew up and followed her family's legacy. *Taiga holds up her hand*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Did something happen to... Red Fox, in this world?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thank you for the offer but we'll go.
<Seraphna> Thena> Mew...?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Fox who?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... well, this explains a lot."
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances at everyone* Everyone, hit your button in 3
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 3
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 2
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 1
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Wait, we're just leaving?!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *hits it*
<DeathStar> *She hit's her's and vanishes*
<Alicia> * Charlotte hits hers.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty and Hess hit it
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think Mom is respecting Charlotte's privacy
<Sara> * Kaori hits hers
<DeathStar> *Ren smiles and hits it*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... damn it. Sorry." *hits her button*
<Seraphna> **Jaime taps Adeline's nose** Be good to her. **hits her button after**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... peers at Alternate Taiga, Nicolette, and Kitty* I don't trust them completely.
<DeathStar> <A. Taiga> Hm. I can look into their reality signature. *she pats her Kitty's back and moves to study the scan, seeing about finding their world.*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga complies the infomation and hands it to Lenneth, peering at the group
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thank you for everyhone
<DeathStar> <Ren> *is hugging onto Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway, I will dismantle the device for the time being
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hopefully we didnt't make new enemies on that little excursion."
<Alicia> * Charlotte clings to Ren
<DeathStar> <Ren> Only ones that seemed hostile was that last group. That other Adeline, Taiga, and Kitty were eyeing us. And that Sparkling and Nicolette even had uniforms to make them look scary
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "All I'll say for the last one is... without Fox, I was never adopted... so I guess VI must have gotten to me."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hopefully the reality with the Makais won't be a problem. I do not want to deal with Makai Sparkling. And Magical Robots.
<DeathStar> *Ren hugs Charlotte* I will make sure VI never touches you
<Jackieness> <Noire> though I would point out that Dakr Ones being the enemy was the common thred in most of those realities."
<Seraphna> **Thena muses** Dat makes sense, Char is totally not secretly an intergalactic warlord.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well the Dark Ones are active right now.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Unless Andrea manages to make them all follow her
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..don't remind me..."
<DeathStar> *Taiga peers at Kaori and Hess*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You two okay?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I wanted to say that I'd try that myself, but it's in bad taste right now."
<Chaintan> <Hess> Yeah...
<Chaintan> <Hess> we're just gonna, need to talk a bit, about all that
<Sara> <Kaori> ...Yeah
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright. Meeting adjourned
<DeathStar> *Taiga hits the gravel and sits down, looking a little distant herself*
<DeathStar> *perhaps musing on something*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *whirls a finger in the air* "...yay..."
<DeathStar> *Ren takes Charlotte's hand and leads her out of the room* Come on
<Alicia> * Charlotte follows eagerly
<DeathStar> *Taiga calls out* I'll think of something fun tomorrow
<DeathStar> *next time even
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... that was... a thing."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "No-one tell Sparkling how close she became to personally becoming the biggest threat to the PAX, okay?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wouldn't dare
<DeathStar> *she eyes the cake*
<DeathStar> *Ren pulls Charlotte close*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I will always be on your side, Char.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Just so you know
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And I'll be by yours."
<DeathStar> -END-
