<DeathStar> Location: Fumoffu Club
* Jackieness has joined #fumoffu
<DeathStar> *The club room has been completely wrecked with sheets all over the place and signs of a sleep over*
<DeathStar> *The arcade machine has been vandalized with stuff on top of it with games, as Ren is sprawled out on the floor*
<DeathStar> *Taiga peers into the club room, adjusting her glasses*
<Chaintan> <Hess> How...
<Chaintan> 6* her immediate concern being the arcade machine, checking if it works and has all its parts while Kitty lifts a sheet
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think I drank too much .... *she pauses* ...,. soda. ugh
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pokes her head up* "...I do no recall things being in such a state before I went to sleep."
<DeathStar> *The arcade machine seems to be okay; someone seems to have just placed a bunch of card games all over it*
<DeathStar> *And inside it*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> It was perfectly ordered when we went to sleep
<DeathStar> <Ren> I was just watching holovids and drinking soda on the couch
<DeathStar> *Ren ughs*
<Chaintan> <Hess> doesnt anyone know what a fire hazard this can be, and with so much stuff in here....
<Chaintan> 6*Hess grumbles and sets to clearing out the clutter from inside the machine
<Jackieness> <Noire> *reaches down and picks up her glasses, putting them on* "...no...the room looks worse with my glasses on."
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty wiggles a bed sheet
<DeathStar> *Cuddles checks on X, who is in the corner with a party hat on*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I could hide it from your vision by putting this over you Noire
<DeathStar> *her arm still in a brace*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that would not resolve the reality of the situation."
<Seraphna> **Jaime curls around Adeline like a sleeping greedy cat**
<DeathStar> *Taiga cranes her head to look at the ceiling as something drips down from it on top of her, then onto Noire and Kitty*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ew
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It got into my hair
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peeks out of a shadow** Did Noire throw a rager after I went to sleep?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> no, but then you dont have to look
<DeathStar> <Ren> It was perfectly nice ... when I fell asleep wathing comedy movies...
<DeathStar> *Adeline squints*
<Seraphna> **Si yawns, on top of the fridge for some reason, cuddling a pineapple**
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty uses the sheet to protect herself from whatever is dripping
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Kaelan only wish." *looks away in a huff*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yes dear I wish you would show more spunk~
<DeathStar> *it looks like some sort of white substance was sprayed on the ceiling, spelling "hey--, though the y wasn't finished. It looks like whip cream. God, you hope it is*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty grimaces
<DeathStar> <X> ... *pulls the hat off* <X> I used to throw wilder parties in my youth.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> mom...tell me it wasnt like this
<Alicia> * Charlotte walks in to this. "What the hell did I miss?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...an excellent question, Charlotte."
<DeathStar> <X> Well, most of my parties involved killing
<DeathStar> <X> And being high on blood lust
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I can accept that
<Chaintan> 6*Hess can be heard hitting her head inside the arcade cabinet hearing this
<Seraphna> **Jaime snoozes on, blissfully unaware of the need to have the ship cleansed with fire**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I feel quite reasonable by comparison."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I just... we had a normal .... how..
<DeathStar> *her ears twitch*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This is normal?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stands up* "Mmmmmm... no. We are being messed with."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Booo, no fair if we didn’t get to do it.
<DeathStar> <Ren>
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait what? *She eyes Kaelan*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets look at the footage shall we?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It wouldn't be much of a prank if you did it to yourself."
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty squints at Kaelan
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves over to the desk and begins to look for the video feed*
<DeathStar> *Taiga aims the feed and shows it in the air* Okay, this is what happened last night
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks over, trying to comb her hair with her fingers*
<DeathStar> *it shows those taking part of the sleepover last night going to bed one by one; Ren sitting on the couch watching holovids with her soda, moving it over to romance movies and sniffling and having a good cry over them*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks over the cards that has been shoved inside the arcade cabinet
<Chaintan> <Kitty> so far so good I suppose
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... trying to hold my tongue."
<DeathStar> *Hess would find all the cards that ended up in the arcade machine to be mostly joker cards - a lot of joker cards.*
<Chaintan> <Hess>...well that isnt weird, this is a Joker card pinata now
<DeathStar> *Afterward she too goes to sleep; then a few hours pass and the footage begins to act corrupted, but what can be seen looks like the group has begun to move around like something out of Blair Witch 2 and are sleep walking and something stuff in the room before returning back to their spots they were before; the room trashed afterward*
<Alicia> * Charlotte sighs. "Yeah, an obvious prank. Did they think they were being clever?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You all definitely were on the move
<Jackieness> <Noire> *purses her lips* "...something dared to puppeteer my body?!"
<DeathStar> *Ren tilts head*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> well if they had played with a ouiji board or something then it'd narrow it down but now we got...whatever happened
<Chaintan> <Kitty> unless Noire used one as a charcuterie board again
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "They couldn't even edit the footage properly."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Excuse me?!"
<DeathStar> *Ren's ears are flat* I don't recall bringing any such object to the party.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> listen, it was tasteful when you did it at the last halloween party and it was a nice board so I cant blame you for bringing it out again for a sleep over
<DeathStar> *Taiga works on cleaning the ceiling by bringing a step ladder
<DeathStar> <Ren> I swear if it's something from the vault wanting revenge...
<DeathStar> **she mumbles*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, who do we know who can edit video footage?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's not so much edited as it looks like the footage was corrupted
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then try to recover the missing data using all this processing power."
<Chaintan> <Hess> say Taiga, before you get your face too close to that goop, maybe it might be something gross...or ecto cooler
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Seriously? They're making that again?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga motions at Charlotte* Charlotte, run the program on the video file then
<Seraphna> **Si walks over to Taiga, carrying the pineapple**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> See if you can restore more of it using all of the PAX's free allocated resources
<Chaintan> <Hess> yeah, they bring it back from september into November
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... would you stop speaking nonsense."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Si.... why the pineapple?
<Alicia> * Charlotte does so
<DeathStar> *Taiga attempts to protect her face by putting on a face mask and begins to feather dust*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Now, had it been a watermelon, that would've been a mystery for the ages."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...why?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'll tell you later."
<DeathStar> *Charlotte would see bits and bits of the video looking completely scrambled as if something was interfering with it, but as the PAX tries to restore the info, during one period where Ren and Noire are dancing on top of the arcade machine, a figure seems to appear briefly before it scrambles again*
<Seraphna> Si> I’m not sure. I woke up with it and thought it could be Taiga turned into one but she is here.
<DeathStar> <Ren> ..... *attempts to delete the video file* I can't let Kitty see this
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "HEY! STOP THAT!"
<DeathStar> *Ren flails*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, do not tamper with that evidence!"
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Ren, I am right here you know
<DeathStar> <Ren> I was not dancing on your machine
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs and hides*
<Alicia> * Charlotte continues to try to unscramble the video. "We know, it's faked."
<DeathStar> *remaining in her fox form*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty shakes her head and looks back to Si
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I---
<DeathStar> *she seems to be eyeing Si*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> ok, you had a reasonable excuse, but I think we can put the pineapple down. Plus its got to be a little rough on the skin
<DeathStar> *the figure appears again on another scene - tiny and fae like*
<Seraphna> Si> Don’t worry love, I have determine if you were a fruit you would be a water melon.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ah?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... really?"
<Seraphna> Si> Mmhmm. She is cute and tasty.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... and what would I be?"
<DeathStar> <X> ...
<DeathStar> <X> *peers to the side* Ah, anyway
<Seraphna> Si> Hmm, pomegranate.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I was hoping to get a peek at the culprit, but unless they're some kind of fairy..."
<DeathStar> *Ren peers, poofing back*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait
<DeathStar> <Ren> That looks familiar
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... the fruit that tied Persephone to Hades... I'm flattered."
<DeathStar> *zooms in*
<DeathStar> <Ren> That looks a bit like Tim Bo?
<Seraphna> Si> I was thinking tough exterior but filled with sweet seeds.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...still has a mythological significance." *looks over* "...mmmmm...our imp friend pranked us."
<DeathStar> <Ren> But why is here?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "An excellent question."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **yawning** What’s here?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Some fairy, apparently."
<Seraphna> Jaime> A fairy?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> He's been pranking you guys
<Seraphna> Jaime> …The abomination?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... finding him might be tricky."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I wanted to ask you all to help me with something before the meeting
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If this fairy is pranking you
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It might follow us
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This time it caught us with our defenses down."
<DeathStar> <Ren> How do we keep an eye out for it?
<Seraphna> **Jaime taps her comms** Security. Ready the flamethrowers.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I need to pick up something and could use some help
<DeathStar> *Taiga indicates lifting motions*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? What do you need, Taiga?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm going to the 25th
<DeathStar> <Taiga> To both ask them to keep an eye on things here and pick up stuff for the runes
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You'll see if you're interetested/bored. If not, feel free to hunt the little imp
<DeathStar> *Taiga grabs some tools from the drawers*
<Seraphna> Si> Pineapple and I will accompany you.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I--
<DeathStar> *she eyes the pineapple*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Really, we probably should hunt for the imp regardless."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Make sure to um....
<Seraphna> Si> **holds it against her chest**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What tools do we usually bring for such creatures
<Seraphna> Jaime> Flamethrowers. And C4.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Adeline have we invented that clown killing gun yet?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Baka. Iron. Fae are weak against iron."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *hands Jaime a gun*
<DeathStar> *Taiga points Charlotte to a particular cabinet* You'll find Iron weapons there then
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "I believe iron spikes would be the ideal form. Or other sharp implements."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Excellent. Guns shoot iron right?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Not usually."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Which is why I packed iron nails when we went to that castle. Remember how he was quiet until I pulled them out?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks to Adeline**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Charlotte could try to eat the imp
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You said kill clowns
<DeathStar> *She jokes*
<DeathStar> *Ren puts a necklace around Charlotte's neck*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And what's this?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> As for fae, most guns here won't do damage no
<DeathStar> <Ren> It should glow if our little fae friend shows up
<DeathStar> <Ren> Emphasis on should
<DeathStar> <Ren> It might do nothing
<DeathStar> *Taiga thumbs* Alright I'm heading out
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is my sword iron? **she summons an evil looking Dark blade**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... I suppose I'll go with you Taiga. I can handle quite a load with creative use of my powers."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why are you asking me?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> My genius and beautiful wife is right here.
<DeathStar> *Adeline studies the sword and scans it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *blurs and is back in her normal clothing*
<DeathStar> *Adeline gives the answer*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Part iron, should do. Perhaps I can control that with Earth Spirit powers.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Striker HQ
<DeathStar> *Taiga taps at the gate*
<DeathStar> *Ren paces around in a circle*
<DeathStar> *Taiga frowns a bit*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> For a moment there the destination jumped to another dial on me
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright got it locked in
<DeathStar> *Taiga opens up to 25*
<DeathStar> *Adeline stretches*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what other destination?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte watches the dial while Taiga opens the gate
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That was the funny thing, it tried to jump to an impossible destination - a lower realm
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This gate isn't designed for that
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I mean, it can technically
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It would've been convenient if we could have just used the gate to go there last time."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There's a reason I never opted to use the gate
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm.... don't you find that suspect, Taiga?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *she glances at Charlotte's necklace*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I do. We can only progress onward for now
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Unless you want to try to see if you can find "it"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why would one seek damnation?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Usually because they think they're invincible."
<DeathStar> <Ren> It is odd to try to dial to the lower regions
<DeathStar> *Taiga steps through gate once the dialing is done*
<DeathStar> *Ren following and Adeline glancing around*
<Seraphna> **Si follows with the Pineapple**
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads through, after ensuring that the dial was not changed during the dialing.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *follows through*
<DeathStar> *the 25th Reality has risen up over the years since the fall of Cheryl 25; it has become a sprawlng Metropolis and their PAX hangs high in the sky over it. At the space port where they arrive through the gate, a massive amount of guards await, with Char 25 waiting, tapping her weapon on her shoulder boredly, chewing something*
<DeathStar> <Char> Eh? You into jewelry now? *She asks Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The necklace has a purpose."
<DeathStar> *she aims what looks to be a large knife at Charlotte* Izzat so
<DeathStar> *she turns to Jaime* Empress #1
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Someone else explain why we came, I don't want to look crazy."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Tiga*
<Jackieness> Taiga
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Right
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We're here for the stuff I need for the runes. <Char> Right, we got it ready. Line is bringing it here now.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Cheryl. **she nods**
<DeathStar> *The Charlotte steps aside as their Adeline arrives with a large truckload of runes and minerals*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is what I needed. *she picks up one of the runes* This will allow me to attempt to do tracking
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How useful."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I just needed to combine the stuff. Also, Empress. These mini trackers in my runes will do the job
<DeathStar> *Line steps up to Jaime* So I hear you're going to do something crazy again. Will you need any help from us or you plan to go it alone?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We might need you help. I’m not one to turn it down when the fabric of reality it’s at stake.
<Seraphna> **Jaime slips her a letter**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, that. Right."
<DeathStar> <Char> It's a shame
<DeathStar> *She leans in toward Charlotte* I wanted to test how strong you are
<DeathStar> <Line> You know, all she does is talk about you and your achievements, Charlotte
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Line> We keep apraised of how you are doing at the Prime
<DeathStar> <Line> After all, if you fall, we all fall
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...ah." * She seems to be drawing parallels between her own actions and this Charlotte's
<DeathStar> <Line> Is there anything else you need? *Taiga seems to be preparing to dial back, pausing, glancing at the others in the group seeing if they want anything else here before loading the runes back*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ah, I'm good. *she eyes Char 25 and how "obsessed" she always is with her wife*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Taiga* "Are we done here?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm good. *She finishes dialing back to their reality and at that moment, Charlotte's necklace lights up, glowing*
<DeathStar> *Ren begins to lift up the runes, to carry it through, not noticing yet*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "MAke sure its dialed correctly, Taiga."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We got elf-sign."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I do wish we had more time to talk and learn the differences between our worlds. *Taiga looks down, then reaches to try to shut it off* Ren, stop! *the gate here is already showing signs of massive amounts of power drainage*
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs Ren to stop her going through just yet
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lashes tendrisl out to catch Ren before whatever happens, happens*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Looks like we may have time.
<DeathStar> *Ren dangles half-way with Charlotte and Noire holding on*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ah! That's not safe@!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Taiga, what do you think?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's connected to... the realm just above Nyarl's realm
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This gate doesn't have the safety measures as mine does
<DeathStar> *The gate begins to overload*
<DeathStar> *Ren steps back as Taiga shuts it down*
<Seraphna> Si> It looks bad!
<Seraphna> Si> Pineapple was scared.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't think the Pineapple felt anything."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Surely this is not a coincidence."
<DeathStar> *Line studies it* Damn....these things are one of a kind. They're not meant to be dialing to such places.
<Seraphna> **Si looks at Charlotte like she just spoke heresy**
<DeathStar> *She looks annoyed while Char 25 takes he knife and walks over to the Pineabble and slides her knife into it if not stopped*
<DeathStar> *Adeline, Line, and Taiga pull out a few circuits; meanwhile, Charlotte's necklace lights up again, briefly*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So... is the gate still usable, or do we have to hunt down... okay, lets hunt down an imp."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... yes... let's go looking while they fix the gate."
<DeathStar> <Line> It is useable. I just don't think you can take as much of the material now. I don't think it's safe to leave it open that logn now
<DeathStar> *Ren muses*
<DeathStar> <Ren> So, how do we bring it out?
<DeathStar> <Char 25> Throw pineapple juice around
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "As good a plan as anything else we have right now."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... an excellent question."
<Seraphna> **Si looks crestfallen and sniffs**
<DeathStar> *Taiga rubs Si for a moment* I'll get you a new onw
<DeathStar> *Char shakes the bleeding pineapple all over the place*
<DeathStar> *by miracles of miracles, the group finds tiny little foot prints*
<Seraphna> Si> She’s a monster.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "There."
<DeathStar> <Line> Please forgive her. I'll make it up to you.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It was a fruit."
<DeathStar> *Char 25 shows her teeth* I'd do it again
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Enough about the pineapple. We have a trail."
<Seraphna> Si> Pineapple was too precious for this world.
<DeathStar> *Ren tracks the footprints*
<DeathStar> *it seems to loop around, somehow, going around behind Noire and behind Taiga to behind Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *causing Ren to comically go around in a giant circle*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It probably thinks it's being funny."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **muses and peers about**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That seems to be its MO."
<DeathStar> *Where is Jaime's eagle eyes looking?*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I am rapidly losing patience... and starting to sound like you, it seems."
<DeathStar> *Char 25 nods*
<DeathStar> <Char 25> Your necklace still glows
<DeathStar> <Char 25> So it must be close by
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...Ren... check your pockets."
<DeathStar> *Ren begins to empty her pockets, pulling out salt, a trap for the Fae, iron knives, an iron trap, sexy positions to try with Charlotte, and snacks*
<DeathStar> *Charlotte's chest wiggles a bit as Ren sets the stuff down*
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts glancing in spots where everyone else is facing away from**
<DeathStar> <Line> The gate is fixed
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmm?" *picks up an iron knife and then approaches Charlotte*
<Alicia> * Charlotte searches for any hiding fairies there by poking around with an iron nail, avoiding stabbing herself though.
<DeathStar> *Tim Bo poofs out of Charlotte's shirt* Ay Ay Ay!
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> Hey hey hey now! *the clownish fae looks around* No need for violence
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh really. Trying to send us to hell doesn't warrant that?"
<DeathStar> *Ren lifts a large iron knife, killing intent on her face* You were on my wife's chest....
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Explain yourself."
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> I had no choice!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I won't accept that excuse."
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> It's not like you hadn't been to hell a few times any way, eh?
<DeathStar> *Ren attempts to stab him as they talk, forcing the fae to try to avoid her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren! Down!"
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> Okay, okay
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> Bim Bo is my all-father and he is forcing me.
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> I just want to be left alone, truly.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Of course... and why does he want us sent to the Lower Planes?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Then leave us alone too."
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> Oh that's where he resides. He wants to drag you to hell.
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> I think he's big fans of yours?
<DeathStar> *Adeline has covered Jaime's ears*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I believe we should have a talk with Logan about his tenants.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We could do that
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No autographs."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We decline his invitation."
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> Very well. *He looks worried* I'll pass it on
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...you look pensive."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Too much fire down there for flamethrowers. Cryo-guns?
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> All Father will not be happy ... with me. But Tim Bo is not strong enough to make you go. *the Fae slinks off*
<DeathStar> *Line leans over* <Line> You sure you don't want to kill that thing while you have the chance?
<DeathStar> <Char 25> I'd do it for free
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... Tim Bo. Come here."
<DeathStar> *Tim Bo slinks back, especially to Noire. Ren continues to hold the iron*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm... against my better judgement, I shall allow you to stay until Bimbo can be dealt with.""
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm okay with letting him live, if it'll get that tiresome clown off our backs... and if not, better to deal with the head directly."
<DeathStar> <Ren> So we're in agreement. Bimbo is Bim Bo?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Most likely. This can't be a coincidence."
<DeathStar> *Tim Bo looks a little relieved and finds a spot to hide nearby*
<DeathStar> *Adeline keeps her hands on Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What does Bim Bo look like? <Tim Bo> *voice* A terrible, terrible hell monster.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Does he look like a clown?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> **looks at Adeline to keep calm**
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> ... Rumor has it maybe he likes to pose as clowns when in the human world. Maybe.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'll take that for confirmation then."
<DeathStar> *Line and Taiga finish dialing to Prime*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We're locked and set
<DeathStar> *Taiga kneels and picks up her runes*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Come then. LEt us return home."
<DeathStar> *Ren grabs a box of runes*
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "And no more defacing the club room either."
<DeathStar> <Tim Bo> Oh, okay.
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads back after that, carrying runes.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves through the gate*
<DeathStar> *once they're back at the Strikers, Taiga looks at them* I'll get this ready for the meeting
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You all can do what you want until then.
<DeathStar> *Ren lets out a breath and thinks* I'll return to the club room then for now
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... we are ging to need to deal with this clown situation soon."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well
<DeathStar> <Ren> Jaime will be no good against it. Jikuu will have to take the lead
<DeathStar> *Adeline huffs and pets Jaime's head*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...the empress should not be going to the lower planes anyway."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well it'll be a problem for after the current one is dealt with
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hopefully he won't make a move while we are in the middle of the other."
<DeathStar> *Ren steps into the club room, where a box has been left where it seems X, Kitty, and Hess finished cleaning the place*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Sus box
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmmm..." *taps the comm to contact Hess*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I fully expect it contains either a gift, a stupid trap or some dumb joke 'gift'."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... like a pineapple."
<DeathStar> *X answers*
<DeathStar> <X> Yes?
<DeathStar> *Ren circles the box*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I know mother said she would handle getting Si a new pineapple
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...do you know anything abotu a box in the middle of our club rooom?"
<DeathStar> <X> There should be no such box; we cleaned everything up and locked up after we left. Do you want me to interrupt Hess/Kaori ritual mating time to ask?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... no, I shall spare you having to walk into that."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Stand back, I shall open the box."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... be careful."
<DeathStar> <Ren> B-Becareful
<Alicia> * Charlotte uses a tendril to do so at a distance, just in case, fully understanding that if it's actually a gift, she'll look silly for this.
<DeathStar> *inside is a pineapple with a clown nose; it suddenly begins to jerk and speak, saying: What do you call a fat pineapple? A Pineapple chunk!*
<DeathStar> *it continues: Why was the pineapple all alone? Because the banana split*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...okay, that one wasn't bad."
<DeathStar> *Where do you get pineapple milk from? From it's pinenipples*
<DeathStar> *it nose honks after each joke*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that last was not so good."
<DeathStar> <Ren> .... I--
<DeathStar> What is a bank's favorite fruit?
<DeathStar> *The pineapple leans in* A PIN-apple
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I don't get it."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Eh?
<DeathStar> *shrug*
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts eyeing everyone oddly**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Noses…
<DeathStar> <Ren> Noses?
<Seraphna> Jaime> You’re all growing red noses…
<DeathStar> *Ren rubs her nose; indeed, everyone's noses are looking a little reddish the longer they listen to the jokes*
<DeathStar> <Pineapple> What do you get when you mix a pineapple with a snake?
<Seraphna> **Jaime forms her sword and stabs the pineapple much to Si’s horror** Die demon!
<DeathStar> Ananas-conda---urk!
<DeathStar> *it oozes pineapple juice and dies*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this needs to end.
<DeathStar> <Pineapple> You've been a great crowd...folks...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey. **she stabs the pineapple again**
<DeathStar> *pineapple slices now*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *She puts a hand on Si* I think... when mother brings that third Pineapple..you should just...turn it away
<DeathStar> <Ren> Anyway
<Seraphna> Si> This feels familiar though.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *sits down, their noses normal - if they ever were red*
<DeathStar> <Ren> YeaH?
<DeathStar> *Ren begins to log down what happened for the club's diary* By the way - thank you all for the sleep over
<DeathStar> <Ren> After things calm down I have one more thing I'd like us to do as a club
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, besides defeat Bim Bo
<Seraphna> Jaime> Defeat his turkeys too?
<DeathStar> *Ren pauses* Ah...?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...ignore the mad queen, Ren."
<DeathStar> <Ren> We'll discuss that when the time comes. But when things are calm, I'll go over what I'd like to do. Consider it a big club event. I want to try to get as many club members as I can
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm going to go shower and prepare for the meeting on these runes mom has ready. *she takes Charlotte's hand* See you all there
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..."
<DeathStar> -TBC-
<DeathStar> *Ren dances*
