<DeathStar> Location: Noire's Apartment
<DeathStar> *Taiga has the group watching holovid movies as the club's agenda*
<DeathStar> *while eating Noira's food*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *seems pleased that the venue has returned to her apartment*
<Alicia> * Charlotte has finally returned to the group after her hiatus
<DeathStar> *Taiga eats on some snacks, while watching the kung-fu movie she has up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *chose to prepare and serve dim sum to go with the film*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> These types of movies are always fun.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It gave me an opportunity to go with a theme of Cantonese cuisine."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Nice theming."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmm-hmmm."
<DeathStar> *The front door busts open and Ren steps in dramatically*
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers up, having been eating more than normal**
<DeathStar> *Taiga turns in as the movie gets to the best part*
<Seraphna> Si> Hey! No watch this part!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "The movie already started and we're already eatting." *stated offhandedly without looking at Ren*
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes all them watching TV and eating* ....This is what the club has become?
<Seraphna> **Jaime shrugs and leans into Adeline**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's a nice change of pace... though I do think we should go back into mysteries once we're rested."
<DeathStar> *Adeline is wearing larger clothes these days
<DeathStar> *Ren moves over to Charlotte and points* I need you!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... mini-pork buns, Ren?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Maybe later
<Seraphna> Si> Ren has been replaced with a Doppleganger.
<Seraphna> Si> Turning down pork buns.
<DeathStar> *Ren seems to have a large backpack slung over her shoulder, wearing what looks to be a school outfit*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Now? In the middle of the club room?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> She usually can't resist eating
<DeathStar> <Ren> What? I don't mean sex. T-This time
<DeathStar> <Ren> I need your help. I'm going to Japan to wrap up our final case.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We still have a case left over?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> A case we never finished. I want to go back and look into it properly. That and the school has gotten worse since we let it go
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I'm going to go, but what about the rest of you?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... is it the school with the corrupted shrine hidden underneath?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *looks lost*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *peers* That's right. The school has been having more sightings of stuff the past year
<Seraphna> Jaime> I thought we destroyed the shrine.
<DeathStar> <Ren> It's currently closed down.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "No, we had to run. That place was basd news." *gives Si extra pork buns*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We didn't know if the shrine was holding it back. So I been interviewing the locals
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and munches**
<DeathStar> <Ren> They believe, according to ancient tale
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, I wish we could regularly get in contact with Monster World, then we could get Cedarton to help.
<DeathStar> <Ren> That the shrine is bad news. And the old school was build around it to house the shrine to seal it away with seals to be watched over the Principal of the school. Overtime the more modern one was built around it. And the seals must have gone to rot
<DeathStar> <Ren> So whatever is down there is coming out
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Cederton?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Is that all they know?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> He runs a school in Tokyo right now
<DeathStar> *munches*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I think we already knew the shrine is bad news."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes, I was hoping for details about what manner of yokai might be associated with the place."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm not sure. I did get a scroll of kappa
<Seraphna> Jaime> Does he? I thought he took over Monster World.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Kappa? Are you sure?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Maybe we could get his help, after all these ghosts are interefing with... EDUCATION.
<DeathStar> *Ren holds out the scoll with Kappa like creatures*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, ... *Writes down the address* If you want to try to find him
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why do we want to go after a Cedar tree?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Isn't that just his name?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Kappa? That shrine seemed more dangerous than just kappa."
<DeathStar> *Ren sneaks some buns into her backpack*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets go, Char!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hold on, I suppose I should go too."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Who else is coming?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'll check on him then meet up with you all.
<Seraphna> Si> I suppose I should watch out for Ren Ren.
<DeathStar> <Ren> You really think this guy is that important?
<DeathStar> *She asks Jaime*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We couldn't handle it last time, help is help. But he tends to be rather extreme when it comes to schools being in disorder.
<Seraphna> Jaime> He even made Dias study once.
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... Fine. Lets get help from Mister Tree.
<DeathStar> *She steps outside to where she has their vehicle waiting*
<DeathStar> *hopping into the driver seat. Taiga grabs some noodles and moves into the back, sprawling out*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and eyes the address, then vanishes with Adeline**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Lets finish off the investigation!"
<Seraphna> **Si stacks a plate of food and joins everyone, munching**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets!
<DeathStar> -twirling TAW logo-
<DeathStar> Location: Outside Tokyo
<Jackieness> <Noire> *puts the food away then changes into her school uniform before heading down to the car*
<DeathStar> *The group arrives at a small, country school for a small village*
<DeathStar> *Ren parking the shuttle and turning it back into a car*
<DeathStar> *Ren approaches the school with Taiga lurking in the background; the small school seems to house high schoolers in this particular building*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I wonder if we'll run into the Ruler of Japan. *She jokes for Noire's benefit*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "My mother is the Governor of Tokyo."
<Seraphna> **Si bounces in a school uniform, she fixes her skirt and looks at Taiga**
<Seraphna> Si> Hey... if Andrea declares herself Empress of Japan will that make Noire a Princess?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, being the Governor of Japan, she'll keep trying to climb the ranks I imagine
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Take Dias' job. You think next election, it'll be her and Stacey?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh god. I'm going to have to try for president soon at this rate."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Do it
<DeathStar> *As they step inside the school, there's a "no talking sign" and an office to the side*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..."
<Alicia> * Charlotte stays quiet, at least for now
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves for the office*
<DeathStar> *Taiga opens the office door and a person sits behind large desk, dealing with paperwork. They eye the group*
<DeathStar> *in a low voice, as not to upset the signs* "How can I Help you?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Prinicpal Cedarton please. We require his assistance in taming an unruly school building."
<DeathStar> *the officer worker lifts a device* Principal Cedarton. Some students here wish for you to help deal with a school. Yes. Yes. *She eyes them, especially Taiga, probably thinking she is the youngest* Probably deliquent problems, yes. *She lowers the device.* Please go on in. *as she lowers her head to go back to work, a third eye on her head watches them as the door to Cedarton's office opens*
* Sara has joined #fumoffu
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps into Cedarton's office*
<DeathStar> *the office gives off a strange vibe, as if the pictures on the walls are watching them, as well as awards of best Principal. Cedarton is a thin, pale man, with his hands folded on his lap as he stares at them, window blinds closed*
<DeathStar> <Cederton> .... *sniffs the air as he looks at the group, then speaks like dried leaves, raspy* You said something about school?
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes... we wish to ask for your assistance in cleansing a haunted school building."
<Seraphna> **Jaime appears with Adeline** Oh you found him.
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes the man with a look* <Cedarton> Is this school a breaking school rules?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I-
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...I believe so."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Attacks on the faculty and student body would qualify, yes."
<Seraphna> Jaime> They even desecrated a bathroom. School property has been damanged.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "They had to suspend classes, encouraging truancy."
<DeathStar> *Cedarton turns to Jaime, studying her, leaning in, then uses a ruler on Adeline's back* Sit up straight. No looks. *Adeline pauses, then complies with a narrowed look* <Cedarton> Very well. Let us look at this school
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why do we need this old geezer?
<DeathStar> <Ren> He's boring. <Cedarton> No backtalking. Corner. *Ren frowns, facing the corner*
<DeathStar> *Cedarton slides to his coat and hat, putting them on, looking like something out of a detective story now*
<Seraphna> Jaime> He is an excellent school administrator. My mother hired him for her school before.
<DeathStar> *Ren mumbles that clearly he messed up to be running this place. As Cedarton slides out, she gets a wrap on her knuckles*
<DeathStar> *Rap
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ow!
<DeathStar> <Ren> Char!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *adjusts her glasses* "Now then, as a former student council president, I have an interest in this affair as well."
<DeathStar> *Cedarton leads them out to a boring looking school van*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... I'll take my ride.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There's no harm in travelling in two seperate vehicles."
<DeathStar> *she sucks on her knuckles and slides in. Taiga emerges from the shadows, finding it safe now to run into Ren's car*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes. Lets ride seperately. *She leans against Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Si conintunes to feast in the car**
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes Si* ... did you eat all the food?
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuuu?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "At least its not going to waste."
<DeathStar> -twirling Charlotte-
<DeathStar> *The group arrives at the school, as night stes*
<DeathStar> *Sets
<DeathStar> *Cedarton studies the school, putting his coat and hat to the side in the van*
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Hm. *his eyes seem to glow a bit*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... Ren, please provide Mr. Cedarton with the lore you gathered to supplement his observations."
<DeathStar> *Ren goes over what they she learned and Cedarton nods* There is definitelysomething wrong wiht this school
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> I will let you know this - the moment we step inside, we should be prepared not to exit. *he turns to Jaime* You - teleporter?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I expected it would be rough."
<DeathStar> *he hands her a piece of paper with some sketches* Along with the girl clutching you, try to have someone prepare these - at least 5 of them and return to the school. On the chance we do not find any inside
<DeathStar> *Adeline studies the sketches, then shrugs* Guess we'll be back everyone
<DeathStar> *Cedarton steps through the school doors without needing a key - almost like he turns to mist. Ren blinks*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... Right. *She pulls out the gate keys* Ready everyone?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ready as I'll ever be."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "MMmm.m.. let's see this through then."
<DeathStar> *Ren unlocks the doors and as they step inside, the air of the school feels heavier*
<DeathStar> <Ren> So, I heard a rumor. *She notes, pulling out a flashlight*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "A rumor?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> They say *she holds up her flashlight under her chin* If you're in a dark room, if you go up to a mirror and say Kaori's name 3 times, she'll appear behind you
<DeathStar> <Ren> Scary huh
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what does she do then? Yip at you?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, probably ask to play games.
<DeathStar> *Cedarton is standing in the hallway frowning*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Something is up with him
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What is wrong, sir?"
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> We're trapped in the building; by the malice coming from something deep under this school. We will need to find the source of it. *As he says this, a whistling sound can be heard*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...I hear something
<DeathStar> *her ears perk up*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Probably Si
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...we were here before. The source was through a wall in one of the restrooms."
<Seraphna> Si> Mmm? I was playing a game.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and peers around, feeling out the structure**
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> We should go there then. *as he says this, a night guard comes into view, waving their flashlight around*
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods, waiting to see what happens
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...suspicious."
<DeathStar> *The night guard is humming, acting rather normal, but then he spots them. And suddenly begins to freak out, rushing at them*
<DeathStar> *shouting curses in Japanese and pulling out a tazer*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That seems overkill. I got permission
<DeathStar> *Ren
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mr. Cedarton, is this man possessed or just overworked and underpaid?"
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Possessed by this place. IT is affecting the feelings inside him
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> IT will likely begin to get to us
<DeathStar> *Ren pushes Si to the front to protect them
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lashes out with her tendrils, trying to knock out th watchman*
<DeathStar> *Tazer swing, Up, Up *WHACKED by Tendril*
<DeathStar> *he goes down*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "There, problem resolved."
<DeathStar> *Strangely enough, despite a clear KO, the man begins to stir a few moments later*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... whoa
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think we should go now before he spots us again
<Seraphna> Si> Hmm. We need to restrain the zombie.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is he *still* being affected?"
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> HE will remain a threat until we cleanse this place of all problems
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> All weak hearts that do not trust the school system will fall victim
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then let's tie him up, stash him in a broom closet, then fix the problem."
<DeathStar> *he eyes each of them*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey, why you eyein' me. I finished school
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I do not have a weak heart."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I am srtudent council president."
<DeathStar> *Taiga works on tying up the man and rolls him out of sight*
<DeathStar> <Ren> There, problem solved. *She heads up the stairs*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads upstairs after Ren*
<Seraphna> **Si follows, fuuing, and munching on spring rolls**
<DeathStar> *as they go, the steps count up to 13 on the stairs and Ren hops off onto the floor*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm heading into the bathroom. *She skips in and Cedarton stays out in the hallway*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...alright, take care."
<DeathStar> *something trips Charlotte on the 13th and final stp*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *hops over and then follows Ren into the bathroom*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What is wrong with these stairs?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They're old?
<DeathStar> *Taiga helps Charlotte up*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I guess they can't afford proper maintenance."
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and follows in, leaving SI behind*
<DeathStar> *inside the bathroom, they'd find the crack in the wall has been ... repaird and seald off*
<Seraphna> **Si is in front of Taiga! But how! She eats another steamed bun**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well damn
<DeathStar> <Ren> Do we want to bust it open or find another way down there? The basement?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Cedarton might become cross if we damaged school proprty."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Basement it is
<DeathStar> *Ren steps out of the bathroom, however Cedarton is eyeing the roof*
<Seraphna> Si> Something up there?
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> I heard swimming on the roof.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Most likely more "Friends"
<Seraphna> Si> Swimming? Pool on the roof?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And if it's other students?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That snuck in?
* Pache has joined #fumoffu
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We should check it out all the same."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right, basement after the roof
* Alicia has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Pache)))
* Pache is now known as Alicia
<DeathStar> *Cedarton follows them as Ren shines her flashlight up the next set of stairs, which has only 12*
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads up carefully
<DeathStar> *as she slowly walks up them, a ghostly hand flips Noire's skirt, making it look like Charlotte did it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Unusual that the lower level has one step more than the next..." *looks back* "Really?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga walks in front of Si, innocently*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... what was that?"
<DeathStar> <Charlotte> It is unruly ghosts that desire to see girls. *he pulls out something*
<DeathStar> *Cedarton
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So there are ghost of perverts around here?"
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Begone, deliquents. *he uses his ruler to destroy the ghosts*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Seems so."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I kind of feel bad for the ghosts
<DeathStar> *As they reach the top, they find a giant roof pool as rain begins to fall on top of them*
<DeathStar> *looking over the edge of the roof, there is only a mist below*
<DeathStar> *As if nothing exists*
<DeathStar> *Taiga scans the dark pool, looking for people*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "There are likely drowning ghosts in there."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ah... .great...
<DeathStar> *on the other side of the pool are a set of doors*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I wonder where those go
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Over there..." *starts walking toward the doors, but staying away from the pool's edge as best she can*
<DeathStar> *Ren walks along the edge of the pool, avoiding the edge of the pool; figures can be seen moving in it*
<DeathStar> *swimming lightly in the rain*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I am not ... *she shifts, the rain making the side slick and begins to flail*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Enjoying Thiiiiiis. *topple*
<Alicia> * Charlotte goes to rescue Taiga, keeping out of the water herself
<DeathStar> <Ren> B-Becareful
<DeathStar> *as Charlotte reaches for Taiga, something else goes to grab her. Cedarton smacks it with his ruler to keep it back and Taiga grabs onto Charlotte, pulling herself up with her help*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Bleck! That water has gotten old with lack of anyone coming up here
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Thanks for your help, sir."
<DeathStar> *she slings stuff off*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "The school could not have been shut down this long."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, something is messing with it."
<DeathStar> *Cedarton nods and moves to step through the doors; it seems to be the other half of the building and it looks a little older here in parts.* <Ren> We were here last summer. I think they began to quit having classes a few months ago.
<DeathStar> *As they walk back down, they can see faculity rooms here and other parts; what's more, the malice ooze they saw down below seems to have creeped up in areas of the building here.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This pool looks like it was abandoned for years." *heads through the doors*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... TAsted it too
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Eww."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well I guess we're close
<Seraphna> Si> I hate water.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> I would avoid touching the malice.
<DeathStar> *as he says that, another night guard can be heard approaching from a hallway as they are in the stairwell. *He seems to be checking the rooms, oblivious to the malice*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets keep going down.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "An odd way to build this shcool though... having to go to the roof pool to access this half of the school building."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I Think the hallways there connect back to the other part of the school to. *she squints* That night guard looks a bit like the one we tied up earlier
<DeathStar> <Taiga> No way, I tied him up good
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sarcasm* "Then maybe its his brother."
<DeathStar> *she has slipped out of her clothes, opting to wear a hoodie* <Taiga> ... tch. *As they reach the basement, the door isl ocked*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Does anyone have the key?"
<Seraphna> **Si steams, her natural heat evaporating the water on her**
<DeathStar> *Ren pulls out the keys and unlocks the door*
<DeathStar> *as she opens it, the basement has malice goo in various places*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Not much has changed..."
<DeathStar> *Ren moves along and opens a foxhole* I Think this is where we should be
<DeathStar> *aiming it at the wall*
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods to Si and steps into the foxhole*
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads through
<Seraphna> Si> **hops in**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *passes through*
<DeathStar> *They are in the older school with the shrine, but it's mostly mucky muck now. The air is hard to breathe. Cedarton eyes the area*
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Hm, we need to locate the source of malice
<DeathStar> <Ren> That would be the shrine wouldn't it?
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Perhaps. Or behind it; or under it
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We don't want to disturb it too much.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "One wonders who thought that this was a good idea."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Charlotte - Noire
<DeathStar> *Sweet voice*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You girls know a way to get past malice? *She asks, due to the amount blocking their way*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Let me try..." *raises her hands and tries using Dark Absorption on the malice*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Foxholes, going above it, or..."
<DeathStar> *Noire sucks in all the malice; her aura changing to a dark malice filled one and her body looking more like Andrea's when she's in Dark One form.*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Did she upgrade herself again?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... well, that works... as long as she's okay."
<DeathStar> *as Charlotte says that, Noire backhands her a large distance, right through the top of the shrine and into the playground of the school*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Charlotte. *she's grabbed by Noire and makes a gwak like fox sound as she's bounced up and down and tossed after Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> She is maliced.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *books it*
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> We need to find the source now that the area is cleaned up
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... right. Lets hope she returns to normal later."
<DeathStar> *he goes to grab his ruler to boink Noire*
<DeathStar> *Ren helps Charlotte, looking woozy*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets check inside the shrine...
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stabs at the floor and ceiling with her tendrils and then pulls*
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods, looking a bit dazed herself
<DeathStar> *Things begin to go flying and Ren instinctively winces as she steps inside. Taiga flails and foxholes things to try to protecT*
<Alicia> * CHarlotte heads in after Ren
<DeathStar> *Cedarton ruler-fus to try to hit the objects being destroyed and weakening the area, then goes to try to hit Noire*
<Seraphna> **So forms a flame barrier around them**
<Seraphna> Si
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then flails at Cedarton*
<DeathStar> *the shrine seems to be your typical Japanese floor, but the malice bubbled up out of the floor. Ren begins to rip the floor up*
<DeathStar> *not caring if she is being disrespectful*
<DeathStar> **Cedarton gets a lucky 1 and boinks Noire, his ruler breaking and lower Noire's malice level enough she can think again*
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Hm. .... my trusted school tool
<DeathStar> *he seems sad*
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks for the source of the malice
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ohhh... my head..."
<DeathStar> *The ceiling has been weakened, pieces of it falling into the flames of Si*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That's no good.
<DeathStar> *Charlotte and Ren find ... a self-mummified monk, but something seems off about it*
<DeathStar> *they are wearing strange robes and look to be holding strange ritualistic objects that give off a bad vibe*
<DeathStar> <Ren> What is this?
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks into the shrine*
<DeathStar> *Jaime and Adeline return at this time*
<DeathStar> *Adeline holding a few seals; she eyes Noire and slaps a seal on her*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Here.
<Alicia> * Charlotte uses her datapad to take a picture and transmit it to the others
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well... technically Mr. Cedarton already saved me."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well we’re not too late.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't trust those objects enough to even touch them."
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> *Studies the picture* That is strange. I would say what you found is suppose to be a holy man, but those objects are foul objects meant to bring about the hatred in one.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> An unholy monk? Or a holy monk used in some ritual
<DeathStar> *Adeline motions* I guess we should put seals on this place and the monk?
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> It might be better to find a way to destroy the objects.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Then seal this place
<DeathStar> <Ren> What do you think, Char?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... Ren, looking up this sort of ocult lore is your area."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *muses* Well.
<DeathStar> <Ren> When dealing with objects that bring out the hatred in someone
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'd put the seals on them and have our best person try to utterly destroy them.
<DeathStar> *Ren motions and Adeline hands over the seals; Ren placing the seals on the monk and cursed objects*
<DeathStar> *Ren steps out with Charlotte - carefully*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Maybe Jaime can hyperspace them."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I would like to know who this was and why thery were sealed here."
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> We have a picture of the monk.
<DeathStar> <Cederton> I will use my connections on Monster World to learn
<DeathStar> *Ren glances at Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Jaime?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Of course.
<Seraphna> **Jaime focuses and aims, then starts blasting away**
<DeathStar> *the hyperspace strikes it and the monk begins to melt away as does the objects; suddenly the monk begins to laugh and move forward, the seals keeping it in place*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And what is so funny now?"
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> *looks* My connections say the monk was a worshipper of something from below this realm
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> I guess the monk finds something funny
<DeathStar> *the monk continues to strain to escape the seals as it's body begins to vaporize. The power of the attack finally destroys the body and objects of power, but it begins to cause a cave in finally. Ren grabs Charlotte and goes into gear form*
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts her feet and channels earth spirit power into the blast too**
<DeathStar> *that defintiely wipes the shrine out too*
<Seraphna> **Jaime stops**
<DeathStar> *taking out any chance of the monk's influence being left*
<DeathStar> *the gear's hand extends*
<DeathStar> *TAiga leaps onto the hand*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps on to the hand*
<Seraphna> **Jaime and Si get on**
<DeathStar> *Adeline makes a slight curse and climbs on, having trouble for some reaosn*
<DeathStar> *As she then holds onto the thumb*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I guess we research just what that monk worshipped."
<DeathStar> <Ren> <Charlotte, fly us on out>
<DeathStar> *Cedarton turns into a bat and flies onto the top of the Gear*
<Alicia> * Charlotte flies out, wondering why Cedarton can turn into a bat at all
<DeathStar> *The old school part begins to crumble around them as the Gear flies through the wooden part and into the main school, bursing into the hallway after some work, leaving the cave/old school behind. The main school shakes, as if it's falling apart too*
<DeathStar> *the hallway around them cracking*
<DeathStar> *Ren lifts a gun and aims it at the entrance, blasting it open, revealing moonlight*
<DeathStar> *Cedarton makes bat sounds as they fly out of the school and when they do get out - the school seems to be perfectly fine*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... *flops onto the ground*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... sodid the curse create a pocket reality version of the school?"
<DeathStar> *Cedarton poofs* Yes. The old school most likely destroyed itself though
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> The miasma will retreat and things will return to normal. I hazard at night this school "changed" into the "pocket reality" we just witnessed
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Full of malice
<DeathStar> *Ren splits with Charlotte, naked, and lays back* Case..closed? Maybe?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I wonder if the security guards were even actual humans."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I do stand by my assertion that building a school around the shrine was a stupid idea."
<DeathStar> <<Taiga> I assert I do not want to meet who the monk worshipped
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There are some loose ends, but those can be researched later."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Mostly who that is."
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Yes. This master from down below. That will take some digging. *he eyes Ren* You need clothes. Being naked in public is a crime
<DeathStar> *Ren grrrr's*
<DeathStar> -Epilogue-
<DeathStar> Location: Noire's
<DeathStar> *The group returns to finish the movie*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *flops out on the couch, eating* So now that we're finished with the cases, what's our club going to do now?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Be a movie club?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... a real club vacation?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That might not be a bad idea.
<DeathStar> -Epilogue 2-
<DeathStar> Location: School
<DeathStar> *the night guard is in the basement, checking things out, when there's a noise in the corner
<DeathStar> *As he moves to investigate it, he finds a clown* Hey. *jerking, the guard looks around and when 20 seconds passes, the clown rushes and kills him, before lumbering out the basement* Hey.
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> Yes, there are Japanese ghost school stories of clowns that I Read up on
