<DeathStar> Date: New Year's Eve
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> *Taiga has some decorations up, sitting in her office before moving over to the PAX. Ren has a little tree still up from Christmas*
<DeathStar> *Where she is in fox/wolf form, hanging out*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps off the teleporter, wearing one of those sweater-dresses, her hair worn in a long, high ponytail*
<Seraphna> **Si fuuus and sips sake, wearing a ribbon**
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes the sake* You like that?
<DeathStar> *She seems to be wearing a light dress*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...?"
<DeathStar> *Ren creeps from the tree toward Noire* <Taiga> Sake
<Seraphna> Si> Mmm, it's okay. Kinda need to get used to it around Miyuki.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *adjusts her glasses and moves over* "I don't typically drink myself."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's hit or miss with me I guess. I prefer harder stuff like mom
<DeathStar> <Taiga> When I do drink
<DeathStar> *Ren leaps onto Noire and settles on shoulder*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *she seems to be checking defenses, with the Strikers not doing much the holidays other than Taiga doing scans and paperwork*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I see."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So what all are you planning for the New Year's?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *She seems to be studying a reality*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, I just got in from mother's New Year's party in Tokyo where its now past midnight."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I rarely see her drink too
<Jackieness> <Noire> "If we drank, then the world would likely be devastated in the aftermath."
<DeathStar> *Ren balances*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is an interesting reality. *marks it* Older versions of us so we never deaged. Makes me want to sometimes fix that. *jots that down*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Taiga and then just looks away* "So Si, what about yourself?"
<DeathStar> *Ren leaps off and poofs, balancing*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think they should be 50
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway. *she pours non-alcoholic drinks and hands it to everyone* I wanted to thank all of you for helping me this past year.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Arigato."
<DeathStar> *Ren takes her's* <Taiga> Lenneth wants me to formally form a team soon so taking Noire as the leader, I'll be working with her to take all of the volunteers and a few others to make a formal team soon. Maybe draw on a diverse group so we can't be easily taken by surprise
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...so we must now stop playing."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes. I've been making notes of things and with reality events affecting events, we'll probably be helping others more often in an offical event. We'll probably have a little bit more time to explore and get used to the reality map if we wanted. <Ren> Holidaaaays. *She says sulkily* <Taiga> You do know it's the holidays in the other realities too. *She opens up the reality portal* For example, most realities outside the Oddverses are aligned with out time for the most part
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Name a reality you're curious about and they're having New Year's Eve too
<Seraphna> Si>The all Bunny reality.
<DeathStar> *Taiga considers, then checks Oddverses*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... tell me there's no such thing
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes her readings* .... There is
<DeathStar> *Taiga shows an Oddverse where Gitari have overrun the galaxy*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pushes up her glasses* "We were in a reality that operated under dating sim rules, and you think a Bunnyverse is elss likely?"
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu!
<DeathStar> <Ren> So they took over with what - sex?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think I should put that reality in the restricted category less they come over her
<DeathStar> *here
<DeathStar> *She puts in a code to lock it down*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Did you want to check on a reality Noire?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...nothing speciic in mind."
<DeathStar> *Taiga goes to lock it down* Alright, I Guess we should return to the PAX and do the party thing. <Ren> Mmmm. With Adeline and Jaime on Geyze, it feels like this year's PAX party is kind of lacky
<Seraphna> Si> We could always try saucy games.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Saucy...games?
<Seraphna> Si> Sexy games.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *just looks at Si flatly*
<Seraphna> Si> **looks back fluffily**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ah, um. Not with Charlotte not here yet.
<DeathStar> *She hides behind Noire*
<Seraphna> Si> **nods and taps a datapad**
<Seraphna> Si> Then we''ll have to leave it to the crazy.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "The crazy?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> What's that> <Taiga> I have no idea
* Sara has quit IRC (Quit: Hmm?)
<Seraphna> **Thena appears and pounces Noire**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Errr?!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey, watch where you're touching her
<DeathStar> *Taiga seems to be distracted by an alert, monitoring it silently*
* Sara has joined #fumoffu
<DeathStar> <Taiga> One moment
<DeathStar> *She steps off, leaving Noire to her fate*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *eyes Taiga leave*
<DeathStar> *Ren is eyeing Thena's hands*
<DeathStar> *Taiga returns* There's something I'd like to check out unless you girls want to party.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *makes a hand motion, like she could go either way*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> As you know, I've been working on detectors for the C'en reality for if they directly return and if the 25th Reality ever comes here directly. But I been testing to see if I can detect if either reality invades another reality using their movements - well just say it's a complicated process to explain and I'm getting a slight ping of a reality on my map that might have our pirates going to it. If it's reading it correctly. We might not even find them if we do go
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Assuming it's working
<DeathStar> <Ren> They might not like knowing we can track them
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Right, we need to be careful. Thye might escalate if they know that they cna no longer hide from us."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright. Lets see how it goes. *She enters the reality and Ren goes to change into her Striker outfit*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If we do run into them, we should not engage. IT's just a confirmation
<Jackieness> <Noire> *goes to change as well*
<DeathStar> *Taiga lifts Si up to toss her into her uniform* Come on.
<DeathStar> -P-
* Jackieness has quit IRC

<DeathStar> -R-
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to rapidly input coordinates*
<DeathStar> *Ren overlooks her Strikers uniform*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps out, wearing her Strikers' uniform* "So what do you have for us?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets see if we can find them without them finding us and confirm that my device works. If they do run into us, it's game over and they'll get pissed
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Anything else you can share?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Too little information without risking being detected. *she steps through*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So much for planning..." *follows*
<DeathStar> *Ren hops in and they find themselves in a Japanese like world with a PAX floating overhead and it being a New Year's Eve like celebration going on. Ren avoids a celebration with lots of universe's stuff going by*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I was not expecting this
<Jackieness> <Noire> *adjusts her glasses* "Reminds me of home cranked up to 11."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I've detectd various races celebrations here and PAX overhead. Curious. *she watches a Tsivrixsh walk by and a Erusian*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...now that part is different. Regardless, we should locate a base to operate from where we can avoid detection during your tests."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Agreed
<DeathStar> *Taiga walks along and points at KFC that looks busy* How about that?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...really? A KFC? And what if they feel hungry and stop in too?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. You got an idea? *She eyes the crowded city*
<Wisp> 6On closer inspection, it's not a C, it's a G
<Wisp> 6A chicken in a military costume proclaims before the window. "KENTUCKY FRIED GACHA! Come try your luck! Is it savory? Is it deadly spicy!?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We lack vital intelligence... ... ..." *looks at the KFG and sweatdrops*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *leans in* Hm. I have no idea about this reality.
<Wisp> <Chick> If you have a kernel of courage, try your luck! One in one thousand receives the golden nugget!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *inhales deeply* We will..use this place as a temporary basecamp, until we identify a more secure location."
<DeathStar> <Ren> What changed your mind? You want to win the gold nuggt?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "No, as Taiga said, we have no intel at all. Stumbling around blindly is riskier than this place."
<DeathStar> *Ren slides in and tries to win the nugget*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> My daughter...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...she was looking for an excuse, wasn't she?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think so
<DeathStar> *Taiga takes a seat for them*
<Wisp> 6Some are teriyaki, some sweet, but the vast majority... thai and ghost pepper...
<DeathStar> *Ren soon returns, her tail poofed*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We need to try to find them and confirm their presence and then go
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sits...then looks at Ren* "What happened to you?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Without them seeing us. Then we know I can ping their movement.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If we can't do that its just a wash
<DeathStar> <Ren> H-Hot
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And how are we to do that?"
<Wisp> 6Several buckets are set at the table and the Colonel Chick hums, trotting off
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well they are likely here for the PAX. *Ren chews on her chicken*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Maybe we can--- *outside people wearing dragons go by*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Right, but...mmm? What is it?"
<DeathStar> *They seme to be dancing through the streets*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Reminds me of Chinese dragon dancers."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *munch munch* It seems every New Year thing is going on at once.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmm-hmmm... even though Chinese New Year shouldn't be for another month."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *munches more as fire works go off from the PAX* <Taiga> We got less than an hour left until the new year. Hm. I'd like to get a vantage of the ship
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, we don't know this reality too well...mmmm..."
<DeathStar> *Ren soon looks large from eating, moaning*
<Wisp> 6The last one in front of Ren... it looks like orange chicken... is it... it-- THE GOLDEN NUGGET?!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Ren...you overdid it again."
<DeathStar> <Ren> N=Nugget.... *she tries to get it*
<DeathStar> *Taiga snatches it, since she's not weak*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises a brow*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I win?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway, I'll try to scout us out a tall building. I'll see if Andrea is governor.
<DeathStar> *She looks it up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Alright."
<DeathStar> *She works on the holo net* Yes. WE will see her building to try to monitor the area for the pirates
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And for our cover, just in case we are compromised... we came to partake of the festival."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets do it then. *She drags Ren along*
<Wisp> 6A bucket is set before Noire.
<Wisp> <Colonel Chick> Congratulations! Your friend had the golden nugget! A free dozen supernova serrano on the house!
<DeathStar> *Ren moans*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Supernova serrano?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Sounds hot
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...indeed."
<Wisp> <Colonel Chick> A delightful mix of sweet and savory serrano jam with our special supernova secret blend!
<Wisp> <Colonel Chick> Enjoy!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *eyes the bucket incredulously*
<Wisp> 6It ...glows? Maybe...
<DeathStar> <Ren> Fooooood. *She eyes it8
<DeathStar> *Taiga slips out to get things arranged*
<DeathStar> *leaving the two to their fate*
<Wisp> 6No, it really is radiating-- probably.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Seems...dangerous."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Glowy...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I can see that...not an attribute you typically find in fried chicken."
<DeathStar> *Taiga arrives with new year's masks for them when Ren begins to try to take a bite*
<Wisp> 6Ren disappears in a flash of brilliance and evaporates into the ephemeral darkness of a dying star.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...ah?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The hell?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren?!"
<DeathStar> *a bit of fox fur drifts down*
<Wisp> 6Or so Ren thinks. She probably just slumps over the table foaming.
<DeathStar> *Taiga pokes Ren*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I need to bring out the medical kit
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...can we take the rest to go?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga gives Ren a shot and hefts her up*
<Wisp> 6Somewhere, Jubei shivers.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *packs the supernova nuggets up and heads out*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Plan to use those as weapons?
<DeathStar> *as Ren poofs into fox form and rests*
<DeathStar> *on Taiga's head; she hands Noire the new year's attire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...of a sort."
<DeathStar> -P-

<DeathStar> -R-
<DeathStar> *the spy the government building, which looks normal outside the decorations, but it has hint of darkness tingling throughout it as it has Dark wards placed throughout the structure*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I'm can feel my mother's handiwork throughout the building."
<DeathStar> *Ren has sprawled on Yuki's shoulder in fox form* <Taiga> Well it'll make it easier to get in. *As they step in, the guard nods* Hello Lady Noire
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...hello." *walks through the checkpoint*
<DeathStar> *As they reach the elevator, Taiga hits the roof but it doesn't seem to give them access* Hrm
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *loooks for security devices on the elevator panel*
<DeathStar> *it does seem to be tied to security clearances and a pad can be seen for cards* <Taiga> If we talk to Andrea again she might identify you like .. *she motions, indicating the other did*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Get as high as we can and then we will check the service stairwell... though knowing mother, she's probably throwing a party up there too..."
<DeathStar> *picks the highest floor, which is Andrea's offices. They arrive and it's eerily quiet, clean and organized. The lights are off except Andrea's in the back, where movement can be heard. There's dark wards put up - not seen but felt - to boost a weak dark energy signature in the office. Taiga steathily moves for the stairwell*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves for the stairs as well after looking toward Andrea's office a moment*
<DeathStar> <Voice> Back from your parties already?
<DeathStar> *it sounds much older*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "....mmmm...we're just going to the roof to watch the festivities from a better vantage point."
<DeathStar> *an older looking Andrea - no, it looks almost like her elder counter part, peers out* Becareful then
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I will, mother."
<DeathStar> *she goes back to work as Taiga works her way up the stairs*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads up after Taiga*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You okay? *She works on opening the roof*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...mother seemed so...old."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Most likely it is your third mother.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There's a few realities she survives
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And Andrea does not
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...yes. Of course."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And some with all three of them. *Taiga gets them onto the roof and tries to set up a little sensor*
<DeathStar> *Ren hops off and poofs back, looking woozy*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren? What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Food still bothering me
<DeathStar> *downstairs, people are preparing to countdown as Stacey's face appears on the screen to give some message to the people of Earth and then the count down begins*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Perhaps you will learn your lesson from this." *pushes her glasses up her nose*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *clings to Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Anyway, let's try to get this done and over with, Taiga."
<DeathStar> *As it hits 1 and Noire says that, there's a commotion in the crowd as the dancing dragons begin to malfuction or something and attack the crowd. At that moment, stuff attaches to the floating PAX in the sky and gears fly up into the hanger*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think that might answer our question
<DeathStar> <Ren> Weren't we just by the dancing dragons?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...these must be robots. Traditionally, they were people."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I hope it's robots and not people
<DeathStar> *As the dancing dragons go after people in their attacks and commotions, the PAX, being unable to attack in full force due to being over the city tries to repel the pirates as it begins to shut down it's defenses it looks like*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think that's the verification we needed unless it's someone else. *she scans with her goggles trying to spot them*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I am annoyed that we must sit here as all this madness unfolds."
<DeathStar> <Ren> You want to do something?
<DeathStar> *She cracks her knuckles
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I thikn I found one. *She hands it to Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?" *looks*
<DeathStar> *it looks like Charlotte with a hood on, observing the situation, from another rooftop, with people around her*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright, lets get some distance from them lest they detect our portal. ... be better to wait a little bit but we don't want to get caught up in a battle
<DeathStar> *She observes EarthGov arriving to help the Suisen forces trying to repel the pirates*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We'll head down and then through the parkign garage. That will keep us off of the main road."
<DeathStar> *Taiga heads down and Ren follows slowly*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *leads the way since she knows the way*
<DeathStar> *they pass Andrea's office floor, which is empty now*
<DeathStar> *her lights still on*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances over again*
<DeathStar> *Taiga brings the elevator up*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ready?
<DeathStar> *She steps in with Ren*
<Jackieness> <Noire> 8seps in too*
<Jackieness> steps in
<DeathStar> *As they reach street level, there are commotions going on due to whatever the pirats did*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads through the parkign deck to one of tthe rear streets*
<DeathStar> *as they take the rear streets, Noire would sense Dark magics being used to try to quell the violence and Anima are being deployed. Suddenly one of the anima are captured by strange devices and flown up into the air*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... You dirty rotten pirates. *She tries to film it subtly*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this is getting annoying..." *shakes head* "How far do we need to go?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Preferably this way. *She along with people running this way and that, getting distance, eyeing her datapad* The more distance the better
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why not foxhole then?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Would they detect a foxhole?" *looks at taiga*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> In all this chaos, they probably will not
<DeathStar> *Ren prepares* Alright then
<DeathStar> *She opens a foxhole and leaps in*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then let's go." *heads into the foxhole*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I did say probably...
<DeathStar> *She follows*
<DeathStar> *they arrive outside the city and Taiga begins to open the reality gate*
<DeathStar> *as it opens, it seems safe as no pirates appear and Taiga waves them through*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads through*
<DeathStar> *as they leave, something shimmers behind them. But, back at C, they arrive and find New Year's glitter hitting their face*
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Happy New Year
<DeathStar> <Aurica> There's a party going on at the PAX and everyone is waiting
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...another party..."
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Lots of food too
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ugh...
<DeathStar> *Aurica grabs the three and drags them over to Terra's bar where everyone is located*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Noire.... be a friend...and eat my share
<DeathStar> *she notes as Erevis studies the food they brought back, deciding to add it to her cooking list for the kids8
<DeathStar> *and future New Year's parties*
<DeathStar> -End-
