<DeathStar> Location: PAX
* Ariel has joined #Fumoffu-Session9
<DeathStar> 6* The club members slowly file in as the new year has begun to start not too long into the start of the year
<DeathStar> *Taiga sits at the desk, with her hair up in a ponytail, looking grumpier than ever and tired, tapping a pen on her desk.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty settles a long glass of sliced friut and water down on the desk
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Keep tapping and youre going to make a hole into the wood.
<DeathStar> *Taiga pauses and moves her pen* Sorry
<DeathStar> <Taiga> How was your holidays?
<DeathStar> *Shion comes in, this time not peddling her wares and takes a seat - wearing cute outfits that Miyuki made her*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *glides on in* "Hey-yo."
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty shrugged her shoulders* 1<Kitty> Hmmnn, quiet, uneventful. Hey Reikana
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Hey, no refreshments tonight?"
* Seraphna has joined #Fumoffu-Session9
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I'll get them
<Sara> * Kaori stumbles in and yawns, looking like she didn't get enough sleep
<Seraphna> **Jaime is here, where, her player is unsure, but here is occuring.**
<Chaintan> 6*Tucking small tray under arm, Kitty takes a few steps before opening a hole for herself, walking in and then walking back out with the needed snacks,nibbles and accoutrement
<DeathStar> *Shion claps for Kitty slowly*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Worthy of a Kitsune
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *claps her hands* "Rock. On."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm, now I wonder why I don't use Foxholes for snack deployments.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Im not getting drinks, youre on your own.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods and opens a small foxhole, and pulls out plum wine and earthenware sipping cups**
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *eyes Kaelan*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Not even soda?"
<Chaintan> <Kitty> anyway Taiga, you have an audience and snacks. What are we looking at for today
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What? It's Kitsune drink. I-I can get other stuff.
<Sara> * Kaori tucks into snacks half-awake-ly
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances down and spreads her hands* Actually, today we're pretty clear. *she opens her mouth before Thena or Angela speaks up* And no, we're not going to Lousiana to deal with Meth Gators.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Soooo... ummm... what then?"
<Seraphna> Thena> What about Florida for the Bear Sharks?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...whut?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Not every club meeting has to about meetings. *she puts on some glasses despite not really needing them - I mean, she was deaged. Surely her eyesight is fine* But if anyone has any personal assignments, or knows anything they'd like us to tackle, we can hear them
<DeathStar> *to be about missions
<Seraphna> Thena> Bears and Sharks have long been natures best friends! Now they have found love and created an army of bear sharks.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Thena needs her head examined.
<Seraphna> **Thena pulls out a picture, drawn in crayon, of a bear riding a shark holding a bazooka**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She does really go into detail huh?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin peers in, then walks over and takes a seat pretending like he's always been part of this club.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> well, I dont think I need a group outting for my errands today. After the meeting I was going to get some stuff for Hess since she's not feeling well.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Still?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan puts Zegretta in her lap and pours her some grape juice**
<Alicia> <Michiru> *appears seemingly out of nowhere, once more. Anyone would think she teleported from the way she suddenly appears behind objects* "It must be interesting in Thena's world."
<Seraphna> Thena> That's a while now, is she pregnant?
* ChadWinters steps in, and takes a seat beside Kellin.
<DeathStar> *Taiga pauses a that, and slowly peers at Kaori*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> No, just...I guess when a weapon gets sick its for a while.
<ChadWinters> Since when?
<Alicia> <Michiru> Aww. *she seems almost disappointed*
<Sara> * Kaori deadpans tiredly at Taiga. Irritated tired eyes
<DeathStar> *Shion thinks on it* Mothers have been acting weird, but they're always weird. I'm sure it's nothing.
<Sara> * As if to ask "what do you think I am"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *shrugs and goes to get snacks*
<Seraphna> Thena> I wonder what will happen if the Meth Gators and the Bear Sharks have a gang war...
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty slowly turns to look to Shion1 <Kitty> Surely theyre not pregnant either....are they?
<DeathStar> <Shion> Momma Isis has sworn off kids.
<DeathStar> <Shion> So no
<Xanatos> <Kellin> People don't just act weird or stay sick for a long time. Something is wrong, but is it our place to figure out what that is? I'd say probably not.
<Seraphna> Thena> Sis seems tired of having so many. She keeps offering them up.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Not the whole club at least. Family members? Sure, go nuts, get suspicious.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *rubs her face* Hm. *jotting notes* Well, I admit lately that I've been keeping my ear to the ground
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty nods to Kellin
<Alicia> <Michiru> Some people act weird all their lives. *glances at Thena when she thinks she's not looking*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But I'm sure there's nothing to be worried about.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *waves a hand* "Not my fmaily drama."
<Seraphna> Thena> If we have nothing else to do we could always go on one of my pirate adventures!
<DeathStar> *Taiga point direct ignores Thena*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I thought you defeated your rival Dread Pirate last time? After we saved the foxes.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Water Pirate or Internet Pirate
<Seraphna> Thena> There's a whole fleet of those!
<Seraphna> Thena> Space Pirates!
<Seraphna> **Jaime leans against Gnome** I regret telling her about the gap years sometimes...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well since some of you are tired, *motions at Kaori* and some of you are hyper, lets call the meeting to an end early. *she stands up and gathers her papers* You all can stay and mingle if you like.
<Seraphna> Thena> Without adventures!?
<Sara> * Kaori scratches the side of her face
<Alicia> <Michiru> It'd be hard to have a space pirate adventure just in this room. Unless...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm not into forcing adventure where it's not needed. And while the club is meant to hang out, you all can talk. *she nods and steps out*
<Alicia> <Michiru> Nah, just telling stories wouldn't be as much fun.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Well. So who wants to "hang out"?
* ChadWinters glances at Kaori, then at Taiga. 1"Take the chance to catch up on some sleep ."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Let's hang."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Sounds good to me!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It might be nice. **She wraps arms around Zegretta**
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty moves for Kaori and pats her on the head. 1 <Kitty> If you like, we can pick up what we need for Hess and you can visit her.
<DeathStar> *Shion stands up* I should go back home myself. See if moms are okay.
<DeathStar> <Shion> And make sure Theau hasn't gotten into trouble.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I guess so.
<Seraphna> **Thena pouts a bit and lays on a table, mewling**
<Sara> <Kaori> Yeah... I'd like that. I just didn't get much rest last night, so don't mind me too much.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks over to Reikana** So how's things? We haven't really gotten to know each other very well despite our shared... similarities.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Sooo... everyone without family drama... what's up?"
<Chaintan> <Kitty> what were you getting up to then to leave you so tired?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Me? School, career, the nine yards."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I think Thena is throwing a temper
<ChadWinters> If you ignore it, it tends to go away eventually
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Do spraybottles help?"
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Behaviour unbefitting of royalty."
<DeathStar> *Shion foxholes out*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Nah, but she gets like this when she's bored. Hopefully her wives will distract her soon.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'm obviously used to these meetings so I know that they always go like this.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...right?
<ChadWinters> 60% of the time it seems that way.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Usually we go and do some zany adventure. Taiga seems a little umm... tired lately?
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> More like she didn't give a shit?
<ChadWinters> Probably a combination.
<Seraphna> **Si, who was quiet for once, fuus and heads after Taiga**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Maybe she just needs some vacation."
<Sara> <Kaori> I just couldn't manage to sleep right... I had weird dreams. *she notes with a shrug* This happens sometimes, lately.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "What sort?"
* ChadWinters glances at Kaori again, his finger tapping his shoulder briefly
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** Yeah... that could mean something.
<DeathStar> *Taiga is in her work station on the PAX, wearing a glove and working on something, looking up data and studying information*
<Sara> <Kaori> Well... I dreamt there was a world of carnivorous burgers behind a portal
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty nods and forms a ripple.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Sounds a bit like what that other team is working on
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Carnivorous burgers?"
<Sara> * Kaori inclines her head curiously for a moment... but then moves to head out with Kitty once Kitty is ready
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Something like that
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah... we're currently trying to get to the Spirit Realm and it's filled with monsters. The Burgers thing is new.
<Sara> <Kaori> Huh, well... as long as you don't get eaten. I did... It sucked...
<Sara> * She glooms
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ok... that's... yeah... that's just crazy."
<ChadWinters> Sounds like a nightmare. 6He leans back.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty passes through with Kaori, leaving the ripple open for a short while in case anyone was still conversing with Kaoru, while the other end opens into a supermarket.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Have you been eating burgers lately?
<DeathStar> *Taiga closes her data up and moves to foxhole to the teleporters*
<Sara> * Kaori shakes her head as she steps through
<Alicia> <Michiru> "That surprises me more than the dream, somehow."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> How so?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "It all makes sense if she's been eating burgers. If she hasn't..."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I could go for a fancy steak
<ChadWinters> You're just overthinking it. If it was any real concern she'd ask for help.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Probably not, but you can't force it either. Welp, cheers. 6* He nods and moves for the xit.
<Xanatos> (exit)
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Maybe."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I suppose. *she eyes Chad, then stands up* I'm going to Katrina's for a meal
<Seraphna> **Kaelan gets up with her** Mind holding something for me love?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *looks back over at Kaelan*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Like what?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan puts her hand in hers** This. Wanna join us Reikana?
<DeathStar> *Zegretta takes her hand and holds it, glancing at Reikana*
<ChadWinters> And I believe that's my cue to find something else to do. 6He stands up and moves to leave.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Guess I'll leave too."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ah, sure." *stands up*
<Alicia> * Michiru stands up and heads for the exit.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan smiles and heads for Kat's with Zegretta and Rei then.**
<DeathStar> *a few weeks pass, and another Fumoffu meeting comes around. Only Taiga is not there to hold the meeting, meaning the second chair person has to stand up to do it. Which according to the books is...Thena*
<Seraphna> **Thena is wearing a pirate hat and cloak with a skull and crossbones on it.**
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> What the hell is this
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Let me guess. Pirate adventures."
<Sara> * Kaori deadpans
<Seraphna> Thena> Pirate Adventure Day! **she waves her hand towards the snack table, with candies and treats all pirate themed and a bowl of punch with a cardboard sign that says, "GROG! (Actually Katrina's Sweet Tea)".**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...why is she in charge now...?"
<ChadWinters> I assume because Taiga is punishing everyone.
<Seraphna> Thena> I hear whispers of mutiny! Today we have fun Pirate times instead!
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *turns to go*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Because for some reason, she's second chair."
<Seraphna> **Jaime grabs her hand gently** Don't leave me alone in this.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I assume Thena killed Taiga
<Seraphna> Thena> Probably because I donate loads of money.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That is the only logical sense
<Seraphna> Thena> I mean... PIRATE BOOTY!
<DeathStar> *Adeline sits, disgruntedly*
<Seraphna> **Jaime hugs her thankfully**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So... what do we do on this Pirate Adventure?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Soooo.... bribery works."
<Seraphna> Thena> We are going to scour the Seven Galaxies... and claim the booty! **in a more serious voice** I decided we should have a day out at a very prestiguous Cartel Shopping Mall.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta stares* What?
<Seraphna> **Jaime lets out a sigh of relief**
<Sara> <Kaori> I...
<ChadWinters> Of course it does Reikana. That's been known for a long time.
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm sorry, what?
<ChadWinters> I prefer black mail though.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Soooo... priate day is really just girls day out?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Arrr! Matey!
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Pretty much."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I pass.
<DeathStar> *Adeline holds up her datapad*
<Seraphna> **Jaime pouts**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "OK, sure."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'm beginning to wonder if all her pirate adventures are shopping trips.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *rolls her eyes and puts it up* I think her brain was damaged as a child
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** I'm amused people who know better keep falling into her ruse, to be honest.
<Seraphna> **Thena puffs her cheeks** Let's go to the good ship Heaven's Bounty and go to the Space Mall to raid it for booty!
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I refuse to accept it is a ruse until she can speak in normal tones for a day straight
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Why not challenge her to try it then?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime shivers** I'll accept the ruse then. Last time she did that it wasn't a good day.
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Zegretta rise*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess peeks in
<Seraphna> **Thena twirls and looks at them all, then notifies Heaven that they are coming**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Not everyone can be 100% serious all the time. Though... Thena seems closer to that Sparkling girl sometimes."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> We should bring her to the club again
* ChadWinters eyes Michiru. 1"It's not that hard."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *peers at Hess* Oh. It's Kaori's girl
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "You're just comedically serious."
<Chaintan> <Hess> the very not pregnant one
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I can see that.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan rolls her eyes a little, taking Zegretta's hand to follow Thena to the Hangar that Athena controls**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Feeling better?"
<Chaintan> 6*Thumbing a finger towards herself as Kitty comes from behind her daughter to peek in as well
<Chaintan> <Hess> -Much-.
<Seraphna> Thena> We going shopping!
<Sara> * Kaori chuckles
<DeathStar> *Adeline walks by the two* <Adeline> I would run if I were you two. Thena is apparently in charge today
<Seraphna> Thena> ...Pirate Shopping I mean!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *heads off with them*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> For some reason she is the second chair person
<ChadWinters> That's even a stretch, Reikana.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Was there a vote? I wasn't there for the first meeting."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I hear it was more only a few people volunteered. Jaime's next in line maybe?
<Sara> <Kaori> So guys, why -is- it that whenever a girl is sick you always assume they're pregnant, anyway
<ChadWinters> It was more of a, nobody wanted it type thing nor objected it, so she got it.
<Seraphna> Thena> We're gonna give Chad a makeover.
<DeathStar> *Heaven waits by her ship, eyeing her nails*
<Seraphna> **Thena skips up to Heaven and leaps into her arms** Hiiii!
* ChadWinters glances at Kaori. 1"I assumed it was a genetic deviation personally."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "FFFFFFF"
<DeathStar> *Heaven catches her and glances* So when you called me saying Taiga didn't show up and you planned to take them on this trip on a pirate thing, it's not to really raid pirates
<DeathStar> *Adeline studies the ship and jots notes*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "More like to raid a Cartel mall."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *shrugs at Kaori*
<Sara> <Kaori> Mall Pi-rats
<Seraphna> Thena> Nah, Pirate Mall Day!
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Legally." * She pauses. "Hopefully."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well it is Cartel Mall, so legal is always in the air.
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Okay. *she walks up the ramp* It'll take a bit to get there. Hope you have time cleared on your schedule
<Seraphna> Thena> I am operating on Princess Time!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "We'll just say we got Thena'd."
<Seraphna> Jaime> That's actually a valid report category on the PAX forms.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Why am I not surprised?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Athena uses it a lot.
<DeathStar> *Heaven powers up and "kidnaps" them off the PAX and into hyperspace*
<DeathStar> *to go to the mall*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> just so Im clear, are pirates why Taiga isnt here?
<Sara> <Kaori> Doesn't seem like it
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Thena was acting like Taiga put her in charge
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Apparently the club charter says she is in charge when Taiga isn't around."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes. That is true. It says that
<DeathStar> *she eyes the charter* So Taiga wasn't here, Thena made the mission to go to the mall
<Seraphna> Thena> I think we've started to tire her out so she only wants to show when there's something important. Decided a team building day was best idea without her here.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yeah."
<Seraphna> **Thena leans against Heaven**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "But we have only, like, part of the team here."
<Seraphna> Thena> So girls day out... with Chad.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Hmmm
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Hopefully she'll feel better after a break." * She pauses. "Shall we make Chad an honorary girl for the day?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Chad needs full makeover.
<Seraphna> Thena> He's all icky and boy like.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta begins to work on Kaori ahead of time*
<Alicia> * Michiru nods mischieviously.
<ChadWinters> I plan on disappearing to do some underground deals the moment we land. 6He leans back in his seat
<Sara> * Kaori stays still for it
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "And he's planning to go off creeping."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I mean, I could use some more clothes. Cloth samples. A few new accessories... **she smiles a bit, going into fashion mode**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "That sounds a good idea."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I could always use a few new things."
<DeathStar> *soon Kaori's features are brought out nicely - no heavy make up or anything, just bringing out what she has*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta holds up a mirror*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty tries texting Taiga while Hess snaps a few shots of Kaori.
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces around, Jaime sits with Adeline and smiles a bit**
<DeathStar> *Kitty's text soon goes to Taiga's datapad and receives a standard message - from like weeks ago. "Going to investigate something because I'm bored. Be back soon. - T. P.S. Don't touch my shit, Tora."
<Sara> * Kaori smiles and otherwise poses for the camera
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Jumping into hyperspace in 5.
<Seraphna> **Thena hops into Heaven's lap for cushioning**
<DeathStar> <Heaven> 4. Oof
<DeathStar> <Heaven> 3.
<Seraphna> **Jaime straps in**
<Alicia> * Michiru straps in
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "So does that mean anyone who isn't Tora can touch her shit?" *buckles up*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I wouldn't advise it."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> 2.
<DeathStar> <Heaven> 1.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty makes a face, trying to look over anything that Taiga might have left behind in her notes.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan takes in a small beath**
<Seraphna> *breath
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Jumping. *the ship jumps. While Kitty looks over it, it seems Taiga's datapad is pinging somewhere in the North American state of Earth, not moving, and it looks like she was looking into stuff to do with clones and V.I and information on Isis. As well a scatter of information from Miyuki old VI information to tons of information relating to it. Even Chad pops up in her searches and Aya. Who knows where her brain was going*
<DeathStar> *Heaven turns to the team* Well
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Who knows any good games while we go
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I don't see any game machines here..."
<Seraphna> **Thena ahems and taps a button, opening her entertainment system**
<Chaintan> <Kitty>...well didnt expect to see Chad there...
* ChadWinters glances at Kitty
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> One never does
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena also maintains Mew Mew Dance Dance Athena Edition machine.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Uh-huh... you realize I sing and dance for a living, right?"
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Since Taiga didnt respond, I wanted to see what she was even looking for. Mostly clone stuff and yeah you popped up Chad but nothing gratuitous.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena was intergalactic pop star when you was baby.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Tell me there is no Chad out there in the galaxy
<DeathStar> *porn
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's true, she used to do concerts with my Mom.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I'm more worried about Chad clones."
<Alicia> * She says it in a light hearted tone, but there's a real sense of concern hidden deep down.
<ChadWinters> I wouldn't be. 6He notes as he stands up, stretching. 1"Odd you were able to access her notes easily. Must be slipping."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Kitty must have special privledge
<DeathStar> *they soon arrive over the Cartel planet*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Soooo... its just narcissim, right?"
<ChadWinters> Regardless. Clones aren't really a threat anymore.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs a bit and gives Adeline's hand a squeeze**
<Sara> <Kaori> Maybe it was a hint to make Chad into a girl for a day
<Sara> * She nods to herself
<Seraphna> **Thena leaps up** Mall time!
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I guess they're less of a big deal than shapeshifters, and we cope with those too."
<DeathStar> *Heaven glances at Kitty* Did you want to give you a lift back to PAX?
<DeathStar> *Adeline muses and nods to Jaime as the ramp lowers*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *unbuckles* "Let's ruin this place." *slips on her shades*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta hops off the ship*
* ChadWinters walks off the ship and pulls out his datapad, glancing through it a bit as he taps at it
<Seraphna> **Kaelan hops off too**
<Seraphna> Thena> Now we get all the booty from the mall!
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> There are some outfits I have had my eye on.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> No theres nothing of Chad in any lewd flavor...gods why suggest that
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Some people have weird tastes."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That is a relief.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> more of a mutual thing, Taiga has access to my things as well in case of an emergency.
<ChadWinters> That would require having sex. 6He notes as he looks up from his datapad
<Chaintan> <Kitty> but she's not moved from her spot
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "See? Total creep."
<DeathStar> <Heaven> Well if you want I can fly you back to Earth
<Seraphna> Thena> There also teleporters, I think. This is a commerce planet.
<DeathStar> <Heaven> There is that too
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I'll take a teleport, no sense in making you take an extra trip.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll go with Kitty. I'm interested in what Taiga might have been looking into
<DeathStar> *Adeline also just wants to get out of a girly trip*
<ChadWinters> Beats dealing with this torture scenario. 6He slips his datapad on his hip.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *has already left to do stuff*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'll come with.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan with Zegretta**
<DeathStar> *Heaven moves to be a guide for Thena and the others*
<Seraphna> Thena> **puffs her cheeks, and moves with Heaven**
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks to Kaori
<Alicia> <Michiru> "It seems like more of an adventure than shopping. I'll come too."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "And well be shopping. Ciao bella."
<Sara> <Kaori> As much as I like to shop, we can shop any time
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, that's that. Lets go and find the missing jailbait fox.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> alright, then to the teleporter kids.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *heads out into the mall*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *The group soon arrives at a facility that looks like it has run down from disuse. The sign claims it is a facility for people who have missing limbs or other body parts and need new body parts cloned. It looks to be several stories and is ready to break down*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well this looks pleasant. It's like Chad's soul was a building.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm. *she tries to bring up information on the building but it is not getting much information on it*
<Chaintan> <Hess> weird....this building seems like it shouldnt have ended up this way, like thats actually a useful service.
<ChadWinters> Angelas here? 6He peers around
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty checks her datapad for the ping*
<Sara> <Kaori> So perhaps something odd happened...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Huh? I notified her and Si since they're all about Taiga, but I suspect that Si is already stalking Taiga.
<DeathStar> *it seems to be inside*
<ChadWinters> Oh that was you that said that. Sounded like her for a moment. 6He looks back over at the building and moves for it.
<DeathStar> *Adeline steps inside and the building makes noises, like it suffered damage inside it*
<ChadWinters> Watch your step, Adeline. 6He glances around as he steps in behind her
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Whoa. This place has taken quite a hit. *the building has holes and the floor has metal bent upwards in ragged edges*
<DeathStar> *the walls have holes in them with the other side with the ragged edges on the other side*
<Seraphna> **Jaime rolls her eyes, wondering if Chad actually thinks Angela is the only one who thinks negatively about him... and how much more dellusional that is than Thena.**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Well, it's definitely about cloning.."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hrm... Too much metal, not enough stone... I'll have a challenge bracing all this.
<ChadWinters> Seem's like some an explosion or something pushed the floor upwards.
<Sara> <Kaori> Doesn't look burned to me so far... an earthquake? Well, could go either way...
<DeathStar> *Adeline glances downward, the signal coming from the basement level*
<ChadWinters> Earthquake wouldn't cause this kind of damage. 6He looks for a stairwell
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty nods and forms a small ripple towards the basement.
<Sara> * Kaori hops through
<Chaintan> 6*Hess follows after
<ChadWinters> ....I hope she didn't misjudge the distance or thickness of the floor.
<DeathStar> *Adeline steps through and the bottom level has metal creaking above them and the damage is even more apparent above them. Ahead seems to be where the cloning tanks were once located, but every one of them is empty - or exploded now*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and follows follows**
* ChadWinters doesn't hear any screams of pains and steps through
<Alicia> * Michiru shrugs and follows
<DeathStar> *and in the center of the area is a metal spire of chaos that seems to be thrown down, or attacked down at something, where the ping signal is located*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty follows afterwards and checks the datapad before stowing it away as she advances on the spiral
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and slides along the floor to move over that way, starting to strengthen the earth around them in case they need to brace the building**
<DeathStar> *at the center is Taiga, having pierced and pinned, bleeding out for who knows how long and unconscious, her datapad out of reach*
* ChadWinters walks along as he eyes the center spiral, glancing around briefly before locking on to Taiga finally. 1"Not good."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... glad we investigated now. **she pulls out her datapad and calls Jennifer to get there moving over carefully**
* ChadWinters slides his hand under his hoody, pulling out a small med stim and moves up to her, reaching out for her neck for a pulse
<Chaintan> <Kitty> oh fuck, how did she...
<DeathStar> *she has a weak one*
<ChadWinters> She's still alive. 6He injects her with the med stim.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *kneels* Well I don't think she did this by accident...
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm shocked Si isn't around here or worried... have we heard a peep from her? **she muses and starts to form a bed of earth and mud under her to brace her**
<Sara> <Kaori> Oh no. Bloody...
<ChadWinters> Based on everything. I'd assume she was jumped.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> try and see if you can gently wake her, we need her conscious
<Alicia> <Michiru> "How badly is she hurt?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga gasps a little and opens her eyes, then makes a noise like a hiss*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer would arrive as soon as possible, Sammael teleporting her to expedite things**
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Taiga shhh its us
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ..f..uck...
<ChadWinters> Focus Taiga. It's your friends and family.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Stay calm.. we're here to help."
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes them, her tails shifting and curling* ah... *she talks, her voice barely above a whisper* Kitty.... everyone... forgive me... for not standing up...haaaa
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks around as the others focus on Taiga
<DeathStar> *she seems to be not looking around at anyone person, clearly not focused*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer frowns, Si with them and moving over, ears low and worried, Jennifer starts to use her Spirit Healing to get her stable** Here hon... this will help your Dragoon Healing to move you further.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> dont worry about that you dolt, what happened. Did you fall?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> You just concentrate on healing for now.
* ChadWinters glances to see if they can free her easily or if it's going to require cutting
<Seraphna> **Jaime slowly raises the mud / rock bed as a stretcher**
<Sara> * Kaori helps Hess look around, not wanting to see the graphic stuff that may happen in helping Taiga
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... *pauses, clearly trying to think, hard, her brain moving* shit... the clones. I was looking into stuff... Theau... other stuff... *pats Chad's face* Isis. *it seems to be through her gut and chest pretty good* Ran into ... old enemy...
<Seraphna> **Jennifer makes sure that nothing piercing gets worse, focusing healing on the areas they remove stuff from**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lots of old enemy...
<Alicia> * Michiru helps
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Sounds like yet another Encore for the old guard... this part will sting more.
<ChadWinters> It's gonna be easy to cut her free and treat her then.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> are they still here or did they leave Taiga?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I've restored Cheryl from scrap parts. It seems to be in her blood to recover from this stuff.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Then do it. I'm not much good for cutting."
<Seraphna> **Si peers around angrily**
<Alicia> * Michiru waves a gauntlet around.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The V.I Venerator survived. One of them was not wiped out... *she whispers* Still around. Meaning any clone is in danger. But who is backing him did not... get a good look. At least three Venerators and whoever was directing them
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Was looking into stuff for Isis, curious about her information and Chad's clone and Aya's clone
<Chaintan> <Hess> well if any are around, theyre gonna notice all the noise we're making so, we might have to be ready to run more than fight.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I knew it.."
<ChadWinters> Kitty. Open up ripples...6He motions to all the points that are piercing in to taiga
<DeathStar> *Adeline glances around*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Shit. Hopefully I'm still innoculated
<Seraphna> Jennifer> You should be fine Addy, I looked you over last week as usual after all.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You haven't had one of those try to take over your body. *she says dryly*
<ChadWinters> As long as they didn't modify it. 6He notes in a neutral tone as he looks away from Taiga for a moment.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer muses** True. We'll look you over when we get Taiga back to the PAX.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty nods to Chad and forms a ripple
<DeathStar> *the chunks in her are cut off*
<DeathStar> *Taiga keeps babbling stuff that's too quiet to hear - sounds like equations*
* ChadWinters listens to her babble the best he can and moves to grab her datapad, not pulling it away it she resists
<Seraphna> **Jennifer nods, then works on getting Taiga on a stretcher, trasferring her from the stone brace**
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I"m going to have Sammael teleport me and Taiga back to the teleport pad. The rest of you will have to move on your own.
<Alicia> * While not a trained medic, Michiru knows enough about first aid to assist Jennifer here, so she does.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Thats fine
<DeathStar> *theer's sounds upstairs*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer nods to Sammael, who concentrates and takes the three of them away**
<DeathStar> *like someone is bringing the buildingdown*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty and Hess tilt their head up before forming new ripples to the outside
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *glances up* If I recall, those Venerators were like Terminators in those movies
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Everyone, get out of here. It's no longer safe."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> hurry!
<DeathStar> *she dives in*
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns, she touches the ground, then dives in too**
* ChadWinters waits for everyone to go through first then moves in after
<Seraphna> Jaime> Move fast!
<Chaintan> <Hess> Kaokao move!
<Alicia> * Michiru follows Jaime out
<Sara> * Kaori rolls through
<Chaintan> 6*Mom and daughter hop through once everyone has
<DeathStar> *The building collapses a moment or two later*
<ChadWinters> Kitty. I need you to unlock her datapad. I'd like to see everything she was looking in to. 6He holds her datapad out
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over at the building from wherever they emerge**
<Chaintan> *Kitty takes the datapad and taps on the screen
<DeathStar> *a cute Taiga chibi appear on screen and wiggles as a password appears, dancing*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Is everyone out?"
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> Cha cha cha!
<Seraphna> **Jaime specifically is looking to see if anyone is outside the building to have caused the collapse**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Looks like it...
<Alicia> * Michiru nods, relieved.
<Seraphna> **Si fuus, bouncing and looking for a fight**
<DeathStar> *Jaime would see no one. Though one part of the building looks like it might be shifting - slightly*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> stupid loading screen
<Seraphna> **Jaime stomps the ground and holds out her hand, a mud and rock hand slowly lifting up under the area shifting as if to raise anything in there up and out**
<DeathStar> *The password is soon unlocked and the datapad is opened. The Chibi Taiga Avatar apparently is an A.I that is there to help guide the user*
<Sara> <Kaori> I never understood people who put themselves on their lock screens
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> I am here to help Master Taiga!
<DeathStar> *to Kaori*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Uh...Mini Taiga, show me the last documents
<DeathStar> <Chibi Taiga> Of course! *she holds out her hands and the documents begin to appear on the screen*
<DeathStar> *the A.I Venerator is raised out and leaps with the momentum at Jaime*
<Sara> <Kaori> I think Jaime found somethi... oh, no.
<ChadWinters> Have it send it to my datapad. 6He glances at the A.I. Venerator
<DeathStar> *a tall looking man of about 7'feet*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... Great
<ChadWinters> Someone care to take it out? I didn't bring my gun with.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> shit, Mini taiga, send everything over to Kitty Basket (her server) then power down.
<Seraphna> **Jaime rolls to one side, forming rock around her own arm and shifting it up to guard**
<DeathStar> *The Mini Taiga complies then powers down*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and leaps at the Venerator, delivering a flaming kick** FLYING DRAGON USAGI!
<DeathStar> *The A.I Venerator swings and smashes the rock and sends Jaime flying across the area. The kick hits Si and she'd feel like she was hitting a hard metal surface as it stumbles*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess hurries over to A.I. Venerator, hands out stretched,1 <Hess> [Bad Luck]
<DeathStar> *it turns and moves to grab Si and moves to throw her as hard as it can but she lands on her feet somehow*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and throws a fireball at it**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Huh. That is amazing
<DeathStar> *The Venerator burns, the flesh burning as it steps back away*
<Seraphna> **Jaime twists and rolls, earth rising behind her to slow her so she can stand, she grunts and whispers Gnome's name, forming with her as soon as she appears**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Huh. I guess clones really aren't a threat any more."
<DeathStar> *Adeline uses vines to restrain the target and begins to restrain it, breaking free slowly*
<ChadWinters> That's less of a clone and more of an AI housed inside that body.
<Seraphna> **Jaime Gnome holds put a hand and a huge rock fist reaches out of the ground to grab at it and crush**
<DeathStar> *the Venerator target picks up a piece of the building o throw at Michiru's head at high speeds to knock her head off*
<Seraphna> **Si leaps and kicks at the rubble as it flies by** DEFLECTING DRAGON STRIKE!
<DeathStar> *deflected*
<Alicia> * Michiru eyes the rubble, before... oh well, never mind
<Chaintan> <Hess> Try and get it to throw more stuff
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Seriously? Okay
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Alright then. Two can play that game."
<Seraphna> **Jaime works the fist to try and crush it, seemingly focused**
<Sara> * Kaori runs around waving her arms
<DeathStar> *Venerator stumblesfrom Jaime as Adeline moves in and and the Venerator backs away and begins to throw thigns at them at high speed, first Adeline, then Kaori, then Michiru*
<Alicia> * Michiru puts her hands together before thrusting them forwards, launching a telekinetic shockwave at the rubble to deflect it back to sender
<Chaintan> 6*Hess opens two ripples as Kitty follows suit, two to catch other debris being tossed, and one ripple to attempt bisecting the Venerator.
<DeathStar> *The machine is hit by it's own weapon and stumbles, from the shockwave, and the as the ripples do the others, it is hit. Finally it is sparking some*
* ChadWinters just stays by Kitty, probably planning on using her to keep himself safe
<Alicia> <Michiru> "You're not the only one who can throw things!"
<DeathStar> *The Venerator moves over to the building and grabs pieces and begins to grab them and begins to do something weird*
<DeathStar> *it looks like anything metal it begins to graft onto it's body*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh no. We need to do something now
<Seraphna> **Jaime, standing there with darker skin, green hair and a very Gnomey appearance, chooses a new odd thing to do, throwing a small orb of flickering light out at the Venerator.**
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Chad try and get us a ride out of here, and keep the datapad safe
<Chaintan> 6*Hess attempts another bad luck to fuck with the graft.
<ChadWinters> Getting a ride's not going to fix this as long as that thing can keep attacking us. Best to finish it off now.
<Seraphna> Si> Mom used to mess with these, you need to destroy the core!
<DeathStar> *the machine begins to have trouble with the grafting when Jaime's attack burns through the machine. It pauses, then stumbles, falling down and , rising with a hole in it now*
<ChadWinters> There. Si, use your flame powers to strike it's core.
<DeathStar> *Gnome bounces off Jaime and lands on her butt*
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Ow
<Chaintan> <Hess> we have a visual?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Huh, didn't realize that would end our combo love, sorry. **she picks her up**
<DeathStar> *It turns and lifts a hand to protect it's core*
<Seraphna> **Si nods and points her finger like a gun and sends a huge gout of flame towards the hole, Col. Mustang style, the flames acting like napalm and wrapping around, sticking, crawling around the hand**
<DeathStar> *it smokes as it stumbles toward Michiru and grabs her, shuddering*
<DeathStar> *trying to crush ehr*
<Chaintan> <Hess> Hands off! 6[Bad Luck]*
<DeathStar> *it drops her*
<Seraphna> **Jaime holds out her hand again and this time tries to grab it by the arm sockets with vines and pulls hard**
<DeathStar> *it's arm is yanked back, the damaged core exposed*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh ho ho ho
<Chaintan> <Hess> Kao, LB
<ChadWinters> There. 6He points
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and snaps her fingers again, sending another gout of flame, this time more focused, at the core**
<Sara> * Kaori fires her Fox Fire into the core along with firing her cannon
<DeathStar> *and the core is set on fire once again, as Kaori doesher fox fire and firing her cannon, rocketing the Venerator clone away as it explodes*
<Alicia> * Michiru adds her own energy blast to the strike
<DeathStar> *Michiru just adds insult to injury as the pieces explode*
* ChadWinters taps his comm, letting someone know to pick them up.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well I guess we're done here.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Well, okay. That was a little worse than a regular clone."
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs a bit and gently cracks her neck, holding Gnome close** Thank you love.
<DeathStar> <Gnome> *nods, sleepy now*
<ChadWinters> When you get a chance, Kitty. Send me the info.
<Seraphna> Si> Venerators Suck. Never let up on them.
<Seraphna> **Jaime lets her vanish back to their home**
<DeathStar> *the head lands near Si*
<Seraphna> **Si eyes it and muses, putting the head in a container** Might have data we can look at.
<DeathStar> *as the time jump goes, back at the club as the others arrive back from their shopping spree, Adeline sits there in the club room*
<Seraphna> Thena> We did amazing! Especially against those pirates!
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I admit I am curious why Taiga was interested in Theau, Isis, Chad, and Aya
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Enough to get impaled
<Seraphna> Jaime> It does seem like a channel she normally doesn't look into....
<Chaintan> <Kitty> let me wake up the datapad...
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty makes a face and....rubs the tablet like one does a cat belly*
<Seraphna> **Si eyes the head, which she's put a dampener on to make sure it can't transmit any data**
* ChadWinters sits there, looking over his datapad now keeping his stoic look.
<Seraphna> **Thena sets down a box of puppies**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Are you really keeping that? Though, I guess if you can get more information, it's worth it."
<DeathStar> *The Chibi Taiga appears*
<DeathStar> <Mini Taiga> Mmmm. Hi Kitty~ *she purrs*
<Seraphna> Si> At least till we go over what's in it. Momma will want to analyze it against the original specs too.
<DeathStar> *her tails wag happily*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Sorry Mini Taiga, think you can send the documents to Chad too?
<DeathStar> *she forms a holographic image of herself and walks on a desk and studies Chad, then warps over to stand on Chad's lap*
<DeathStar> <Mini Taiga> Hm. I suppose if it's you asking. *She wiggles her hand at Chad* Bap! There you go
* ChadWinters glances over at the Taiga then nods. 1"Thanks. Figured I'd try a different route on his one."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Kinda feel bad we went shopping now, but at least you guys were able to take care of things. Our spree was umm... Thena'd.
<DeathStar> *Mini Taiga puts her hands on her hips* Ho ho ho ho. It's no problem for one as great as me!!
<DeathStar> *makes you wonder at what age she programmed this avatar*
* ChadWinters datapad accepts it but seems to keep it locked in a seperate area to keep her/anyone from accessing the rest of his datapad
<DeathStar> <Mini Taiga> Ho ho ho ho. He doesn't trust me
<DeathStar> *Mini Taiga nods, rubbing her chin*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty shrugs
<Sara> * Kaori just shakes her head at the holographic antics
<DeathStar> <Mini Taiga> So basically. *she sits on the desk* To sum up what is in the stuff
<DeathStar> <Mini Taiga> Taiga was wondering where Theau came from and was investigating that line of thought. He seems to be a mysterious one. Sun VI? Also the Aya and Chad clones are a little odd themselves. What are their purposes other than a new Aya and Chad. There are a lot of left over questions. And there has been questions - stuff that Taiga still hasn't fully answered. There might be more clones of you out there Chad
<ChadWinters> I assumed there could be. 6He leans back, not looking surprised.
<DeathStar> <Mini Taiga> It might all tie together so she was going around to various cloning organizations and seeing if she can learn more about Theau first when she ran into the Venerators.
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *to the others* Who is this Theau?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> The newest Nue child, the famfrit that came in looking for Isis
<ChadWinters> That Isis apparently never knew she had.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Huh okay...
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That is odd.
<ChadWinters> For normal people, I'd agree.
<DeathStar> <Mini Taiga> Once Taiga is recovered she will follow up on a few other leads. I will explain more later when she is better in a week or so. Kitsune are known for their accelerated healing rate
<Chaintan> <Kitty> if he came from here...6*she looks back to the smolder from the fight
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Lets hope not.
<ChadWinters> Then he can be considered dangerous and should be dealt with. 6He notes as he stands up. "But that's Isis' decision to make."
<DeathStar> *Mini Taiga appears on Kitty's head, eyeing the Sprites*
<DeathStar> <Mini Taiga> This is my spot now.
<ChadWinters> Thanks for the information. 6He turns to move to leave
<DeathStar> -END-
