<DeathStar> Date: 10-660.9.6
<DeathStar> Location: Fumoffu Club
<DeathStar> *Ren lays out on the floor, looking depressed*
<DeathStar> *untouched food beside her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks in* "Mmmmm...now I know something is wrong. Food is being spared from Ren's depradations."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I miss Yoi already. And then there's Victoire - she's the consort of the Empress. And then there's Akatsuki, she's the girlfriend of the Empress' younger self. All the kids are growing up too fast.
<DeathStar> *she sighs and reaches out with her mouth to slightly nibble at the cake*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Apparenlty it is something that is going to happen." *walks past Ren and then sits on the couch*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's not like it's forever. We can visit, and I'm sure she'll visit too."
<DeathStar> *Taiga? with a shorter hair cut comes in from the back room, wearing what looks to be a bracelet to keep track of where she is at at all times. Adeline following her*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Remember - if you walk off the ship, this bracelet will do something quite unpleasant
<DeathStar> *Ren sits up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ahhhh... and I see that someone read my case report."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, what did Alternate Taiga do again?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah, Noire wanted the higher planes Taiga released to my custody
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The bracelet will keep track of where she is at all times.
<DeathStar> *The H. Taiga rubs her wrist, glancing around the club* Interesting play room you all have here
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... did our counterparts not have a club in your reality?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline begins to set out some equipment for Taiga while they talk*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What do you even do?"
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> We did not have a club. *She thinks* I don't think.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "How boring."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, you are here now. And we *do* have a club."
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> We mainly, to answer your question, kept order and peace. Though I guess now since I'm hiding out here, I have to get used to what ever it is you guys do here
<DeathStar> *Ren leans against Charlotte, snuggling, while Adeline turns her head* Okay, I'm set up
<Seraphna> **Jaume pops in behind Adeline and leans into her**
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> You all seem quite affectionate with each other. Like Fate
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh god, do you not even have relationships up there?!"
<DeathStar> *She moves over to the equipment where Adeline has the vase at*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sounds like hell
<Seraphna> Jaime> Adeline is heavenly.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...though perhaps some people might be overly affectionate..."
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> I'm sure some of us do. Behind closed doors.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If I hadn't been down there, I would've thought they got heaven and hell mixed up."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think she is saying we're too openly lovey dovey
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... yes... let's just openly insult our guest's place of origin."
<Seraphna> **Si is somewhere contrasting this by nomming on Taiga**
<DeathStar> *H. Taiga scans the vase, getting the information on the monster inside and brings it up on screen*
<DeathStar> *Then begins to see if there is anymore signs of the second one that they supposedly destroyed via Ariel*
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> I have a question. Do you plan to destroy this one, too?
<Seraphna> Jaime> After we examine the apocalypse monster want to relax~
<DeathStar> *Adeline finger flicks*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yes do. No point leaving a sequel excuse around.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We're trying to decide, actually. Risk of releasing it to kill it versus the possiiblity that it might escape later."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan slides out of Noire’s shadow**
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> Hm. I'd like to observe it when you do so
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why's that?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... then we can bump it up on the priority list, then."
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> The monster's generation abilities was astounding, even in gas form. I want to make sure that you didn't just disperse it temporarily
<DeathStar> *regeneration
<Seraphna> **Jaime watches wrapped about Adeline**
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think, Charlotte, that she's in disbelief that we beat something that they couldn't
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...still...would not hurt to be sure."
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> So, what do you all do in this...club room?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's a reasonable worry to have, though."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mostly fight ghosts.
<DeathStar> *she looks around at the holovid, then the arcades, and trophies*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> And party.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...and investigate mysteries."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I think Ren and Char conceived a kid in here once.
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> I see. So this is one of those clubs that does a little bit of whatever then to pass the time
<DeathStar> *Ren reddens*
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> I don't suppose you could take on the mystery of learning about my Chad and his plans then
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Whether we did or didn't, that's none of your business."
<DeathStar> *Ren's right ear twitches*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at ren and Charlotte... and judges*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Wasn’t the point not to interact anymore? We might tick him off.
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> I suppose it was a selfish request
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... Kaelan is correct. Also, that is beyond our club's resources."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's not really yours either, but at least you're not the one implying it."
<Seraphna> Jaime> We can talk it over with Jikuu later. After monsters and… relaxing~
<DeathStar> <Ren> You really want some ghost and monsters
<DeathStar> *She moves over to her books*
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> You all are not joking about doing that for fun?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I want Mud~
<DeathStar> *Adeline seems to be staring at something*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It works out for us, in the end.... as long as Ren does her homework first."
<Alicia> * Charlotte cycles dark energy to cool down from Kaelan's comment
<Seraphna> Jaime> Something up Addy?
<DeathStar> *Adeline points at the vase; it is now a colorful vase with clown colors*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...oh, not again."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Did Tim Bo do it?
<Seraphna> **Jaime taps her comms** Security, Code Polkadot.
<DeathStar> *she looks around for it*
<Alicia> * Charlotte just smashes the vase, using the clown colours as an excuse for stress relief
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Tim Bo. Do show yourself."
<DeathStar> *Adeline jerks in surprise, her mouth open*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What? It's worthless now."
<DeathStar> *The vase lays in shattered pieces all over the table; inside seems to be a note with creepy handwriting*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It… had it…
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...don't just smash things, charlotte. It could have been a trap..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I don't think this is the same vase
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... ah, right." *actually looks guilty now*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ...*she closes her mouth slowly and grabs the paper* "I have what belongs to you"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Thankfully for that..." *looks at Adeline* "...this is strictly rhetorical... bu I'm saying it anyway: Are you kidding me?!"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I guess clown murder will make me feel better."
<DeathStar> *Ren makes a slight growl*
<DeathStar> *Tim Bo's area of the room seems to be empty*
<Seraphna> Jaime> At least if he lets it out it’ll eat him first.
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> Whatever clown it may be, the monster would devour
<Seraphna> Jaime> Exactly.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmm...it must have taken Tim Bo too."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We don't exactly have a lead on where to go
<Jackieness> <Noire> "As for the beast eatting it... maybe, maybe not. It could not take control of Future Xevil, instead choosing to destroy the universe around him. This clown may be eldrithc enough to be likewise immune."
<DeathStar> <Ren> If it is eldritch in nature
<DeathStar> <Ren> Then do we go down?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It would explain why it tried sabotaging the reality gate to lead to the lower planes on our last outting."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That was... a surprisingly clever trick. I know at least some of us were almost ready to declare war on heaven over that."
<DeathStar> *H. Taiga muses on that declaration*
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> I bet that would have made our Chad annoyed
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...alot of things seem to annoy Chad."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well we need a way to descend
<DeathStar> <Ren> Mother said the gate can do it but it'll have a toll on it
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Chad gets annoyed at too many things."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Anyone else have an idea on how? We don't have Fate with us
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... so do I... though I don't start entire conspiracies as a result."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I've noticed... Andrea knows pretty good exercises for that."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother is the source of a great deal of those annoyances."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Maybe Mistress can contact Logan to take us.
<DeathStar> *Andrea sneezes at her manor*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pushes ehr glasses up on her nose* "Please stop calling her mistress."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well it can't hurt to talk to her if we don't have a plan
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Very well." *pulls out her comm and tries calling her mother*
<DeathStar> <Andrea comm> Hello, Noire
<DeathStar> *she seems to be chatting with someone*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hello Lady Andrea~
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Kaelan
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother... we have a situation. The clown in the lower planes has finally struck again."
<DeathStar> <Andrea comm> Hm. Reikana, do you think you idols can do anything about it? *it seems she is with Reikana*
<DeathStar> *Ren calls someone up to join them*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I could call up Athena. Try to see what we cna do."
<DeathStar> <Andrea comm> We will be there in a few.
<Seraphna> **Jaime is looking about paranoid**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *Taps Jaime's shoulder*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Are you okay?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s in Hell and not here… right?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh, don't you know? The empress has coulrophobia."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Just have a seat. *she has Charlotte hold her hand*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It is not insane to fear such demons.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wonder if Jaime's fear turned it into a literal demon
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... its possible, I suppose."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...why..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Next you’ll tell me there is a turkey devil.
<DeathStar> <H. Taiga> .... is this ... normal?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...when I said I wanted to like Noire, I didn't mean getting angry all the time."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Everyone has their fears…
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I am not angry all the time."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's fair."
<DeathStar> *The Idol gang comes walking in, plus Andrea, Cheryl, and Chii*
<Seraphna> Jaime> There is no Turkey Devil, right?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl lifts Jaime up a bit and slaps her with no real force, like something out of Airplane*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Jaime, focus on one threat at a time."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do you expect there to be a Chainsaw Devil too?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Woman, you're the Empress. You eat turkeys and clowns, okay
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** Oh, Cheryl. When did you get here?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ren called me in to help out
<Seraphna> Jaime> HE was here.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then you show that clown who's boss.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Okay then
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So I can catch up, you all want to get to hell to fight a clown
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes. Bring guns.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *indicates the smashes vase* "...the clown has escalated the situation."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I want to say something, but it's risking speaking ill of the dead... or is he dead? Anyway, it's unfair, impolite and generally bad, so I won't."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> If it makes you feel better, it's probably a demon that posed as a clown
<Seraphna> Jaime> It is whatever it always was.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I wonder if it feeds on annoyance rather than fear."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I certainly feel more annoyed than afraid."
<DeathStar> *Athena paws at the others*
<Seraphna> **Jaime steals Athena**
<DeathStar> <Athena> You should feel happy!---ek
<DeathStar> *Athena wiggles cutely*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Big Sis.
<DeathStar> *Andrea turns to the other idols*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well with Athena captured, one of you start singing for me. *She opens a tome* Focus on singing to empower me
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *starts a song*
<Alicia> * Victoire and Akatsuki sing along
<DeathStar> *Andrea closes the tome after a moment and a gate opens* Alright
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You'll probably want an idol to go with you
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Their song magic will be needed
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...then do we have any volunteers?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline checks her gear while Athena snugs Jaime*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I won't be needed up here, will I?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> The gate can be maintained with who we have
<DeathStar> *Cheryl slides through with Chii; Ren following a moment later*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads through*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright lets do it
<DeathStar> *she heads through leaning on her staff*
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads through. <Akatsuki> "Take it slowly, take a deep breath if you have to, and take care everyone."
<Alicia> * Victoire follows, after a "You too."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "And there goes half my family... greeeeeeat."
<DeathStar> *the level of hell seems to be one level above the one Logan rules, and is just as creepy. It appears to be mostly dark, as if the sun has set and the moon hasn't quite risen enough to give light*
<DeathStar> *buildings of a civilization are crumbling around them and what buildings there are seem to be almost alien*
<DeathStar> *some full of webs*
<DeathStar> *The ground is sticky and almost pulsing*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... not really the theme I was expecting."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "...why did I agree to come...?"
<DeathStar> <Chii> I would suggest running while the gate is open
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Run where, mmm?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> so. Where is this vase at
<DeathStar> *Adeline kneels and begins to bring out a datapad*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I don't like this. *her ears are flat as Adeline points straight ahead down the road, toward the buildings*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It wants us to come.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *proceeds forward toaward the buildings*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why do we even care about some stupid vase?"
<Alicia> <Victoire> "...you broke it, didn't you?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> It holds the other monster, Charlotte.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Why is it in a vase?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...the beast, Charlotte. Its the jar used to trap the Beast."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll explain
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The first monster was trapped in the vase. The second monster jumped into the time stream. We managed to kill that one
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Why a vase?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I don't know if it was due to the time stream weakening it into three pieces that allowed us to kill it or what, but the first one is a whole entity.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Vases hold spirits, I think.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That's flowers."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Flower spirits too yes.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...are we really having this conversation?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, we haven't had time to clone it a body yet to tranfer it. The vase has Wind's special metal keeping it locked in.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If that vase is cracked or the metal removed, it can float out and find a new host
<DeathStar> *As they walk along down the road, faces peer at them from the empty looking buildings*
<DeathStar> *the faces --- appear to be wearing masks*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... don't let the locals psyche you out."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm more feeling crushed by the fact that people thought a vase was an ideal containment unit... and how we can't seem to keep the club room safe from intruders."
<DeathStar> *Ren hangs head*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "It is just a club room..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> But... I do have like...protection fields
<DeathStar> <Ren> I don't get how it keeps happening
<DeathStar> *Ren oddly starts crying*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We can assume that this particular entity is powerful."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl adjusts her hat back* Uh.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks*
<DeathStar> <Chii> That's strange overeaction
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I guess we can just deal with the entity in a more permanent way?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Ren?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You okay?"
<DeathStar> *Ren sorry rubs eyes; as they all ask, standing in the door way of one of the buildings is a person with a mask with a tear*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Y-Yeah. Sorry
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...did you make eye contact with the masked people in the buildings?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Probably
<DeathStar> <Chii> That a problem?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...these aren't people. They are embodiments of emotions."
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "... I shouldn't have come."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ...? *she looks at Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ah, just... my own emotions are a problem."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Stay focused on the path and avoid interacting with them."
<DeathStar> *as Noire says that, more of the masked people begin to approach them, trying to get in the line of sight of the group. Cheryl begins to laugh, as if in a good mood suddenly, then jerks, covering her eyes*
<DeathStar> *having no doubt been looking at a happy mask person*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises ahand, conjuring panels of Dark Matter in a ring around the team to block the line of sight*
<DeathStar> <Chii> That works
<Alicia> * Charlotte hasn't been looking, her eyes pointed downwards for the past few seconds
<Jackieness> <Noire> "For now anyway." *starts moving her circle forward*
<DeathStar> *Ren puts an arm around Char as they keep walking. Adeline muses over Charlotte's words*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You know, you might could drive them off Charlotte if you're right
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I can use my psionics to boost oyu
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Or at the very least, make them bother Kaelan instead."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Char I’m beginning to think you don’t like me.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Just let me know if you want to try.
<DeathStar> *she knows as the team heads the sounds of the masks outside the circle*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why not?"
<Alicia> <Victoire> "What did you even do, Kaelan?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline focuses, her psionic energy glowing as she boosts Charlotte*
<Alicia> * CHarlotte attempts to push the masked beings away with her sheer frustration at the situation
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Be myself I guess. The haters always hate one living their truth~
<DeathStar> *it's suddenly quiet outside*
<DeathStar> *like the entire town has emptied*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...could be a trick..."
<DeathStar> <Chii> I'll find out
<Alicia> <Victoire> "... did you really just call yourself annoying?"
<DeathStar> *Chii leaps over Noire's barrier
<DeathStar> <Chii> .... *is heard whistling*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well?!"
<DeathStar> <Chii> Damn girl..... the entire city is empty
<Jackieness> <Noire> *drops the panel that Chii leapt over*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Mother feels things very strongly, after all."
<DeathStar> *Adeline drops the boost* It worked things to our advantage then
<DeathStar> *Ren snuggles* In all ways
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If that’s the emotion then it’s not me.
<DeathStar> *with no masks, they group continues their march through the creepy city with no one to bother them all the way up until they reach what looks to be a run down looking circus*
<DeathStar> *the rides looking to be part circus, part monster, eyes being on the ferris wheel watching them and the tent having a mouth on the top*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Do you honestly think you never do anything that bothers anyone?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... <Adeline> The signature for the vase is inside here
<Seraphna> Kaelan> No, just that annoyed isn’t the feeling I am holding…?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...thematically appropriate."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I have no desire to ride the ferris wheel with Charlotte
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Oh, so you're not evading responsibility. Okay then."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well... its not the first haunted park we've strolled into."
<Seraphna> Kaelan
<DeathStar> *She eyes the creepy thing; passing the popcorn and cotton candy, it looks normal at first, but if you tilt your head it looks rotten and wrong*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So she does dislike me. That is sad.
<DeathStar> *Ren presses her face against the window, eyeing the food at first*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "You could apologise?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Eat nothing here Ren.
<DeathStar> <Ren> .. how?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I’m not even sure what I did though.
<DeathStar> *Athena is still being carried by Jaime meanwhile, and seems to be shaking a bit*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "... mother, why are you asking how not to eat food?"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Y-You could sing the mew mew song
<Seraphna> **Jaime holds Athena like a ward** Sing sister.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm asking why would they ruin good food
<DeathStar> <Ren> This clown is EVIL
<Jackieness> <Noire> "ITs not real food at all."
<DeathStar> <Ren> That's even worse
<Alicia> <Victoire> "We already knew that."
<DeathStar> *Athena sings the mew mew love song for Kaelan and Victoire*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Luckily, clowns are incompetant. That's their theme."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This thing is not a real clown."
<DeathStar> *As they enter the tent, the vase is there in the center, but Adeline seems to be eyeing her datapad and shakes her head once as Chii is about to rush for it, causing her to stop*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Illusions… hmm.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Are you saying it's not incompetant, or just incompetant in an unfunny way?"
<DeathStar> *The tent seems to be a large tent for putting on shows for a large audience, all empty now except for the vase in the middle of it. Ren looks around*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think it wants us to grab that vase. It just screams trap
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, it's certainly no good at traps. This one is totally obvious."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...and an obvious one at that."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That tells me there is likely a twist."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It's not even the real one. It's in here somewhere though
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, lets just ignore the fake."
<DeathStar> *Ren looks up at the high ropes* <Cheryl> Could be back stage
<DeathStar> <Ren> There might be something up top
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Too many nooks and crannies where it could be hiding..."
<DeathStar> <Athena> And that is kitty love~ Oh. And try not to get eaten by the mouth up top.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Yoiyami would hate this place. Inedible food, and she wouldn't let something trying to eat her stand."
<DeathStar> *Ren heh's*
<DeathStar> <Ren> That's my girl
<DeathStar> *Ren begins to climb up while Cheryl heads for the back*
<DeathStar> *Chii slips into the shadows*
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks to Jaime*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Charlotte, watch Ren." *follows Cheryl into the back&
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can’t just blow it up can I?
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods, then heads after Ren
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Blow up what exactly?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I think she means the entire tent."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I mean, that might put Ren and the others in danger
<Seraphna> Jaime> Right. You’re the smart one.
<DeathStar> *Ren balances on the tight rope area, looking around
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Maybe when we leave."
<DeathStar> *Adeline motions* You can blow up the fake vase
<Seraphna> **Jaime blasts it**
<DeathStar> *those with Cheryl enter the back where it appears to be a rotted area for staff; there's dressing rooms and other supplies.*
<DeathStar> *The vase explodes - almost literally. IT shoots up clown stuff and fireworks and honks and things go zipping upward toward where Ren and Charlotte are at. Ren flails*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Aiee?!
<DeathStar> *Ren lands on her butt*
<DeathStar> *a creature lays dead from what was in the vase*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm..nothing out of the.." *looks back* "...what have they done out there?"
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "Jaime decided to blow something up. Probably the vase."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Blowing stuff up
<DeathStar> *suddenly, the big top tent seems to begin to move and feels smaller*
<DeathStar> *those at the top would notice that it's beginning to feel wet and smell bad*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl begins to check the rooms in the back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *assists with the search of the back*
<DeathStar> *the first room Cheryl checks, there's a cage on a desk, with a cloth thrown over; and there's noises heard inside*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Charlotte? You hearing something?
<DeathStar> *she asks, lookig upward at th roof
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Anyone want to bet it's alive?"
<DeathStar> *As Charlotte says that, she would hear breathing sounds*
<DeathStar> *and what looks to be saliva dripping from the ceiling near Ren*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm..." *moves to pull away the cover*
<DeathStar> *Noire would locate - Tim Bo, tied up in the cage*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... yeah, I'm starting to get tired of being right, somehow."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ah, okay, we're climbing down and getting out of here
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait
<DeathStar> <Ren> I got a better idea
<DeathStar> *Ren offers her hand to Char*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..good, we found you." *tries to free Tim Bo*
<Alicia> * Charlotte takes Ren's hand. "Lets save Tim and go."
<DeathStar> *Ren forms their mech form as Noire frees Tim Bo; a moment later, Ren unleashes an attack on the mouth and the entire tent shakes*
<DeathStar> *And a pained roar is heard*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> .... *looks at Jaime*
<DeathStar> *The big top tent begins to shrink on them*
<DeathStar> *especially as Ren continues to unload on them*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Noire, do you have the cage?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I have Tim Bo with me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come on. *She steps out and heads for the main tent area as the tent continues to shrink quickly*
<DeathStar> *trying to crush them*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "*heads out with Cheryl*"
<DeathStar> *Ren/Charlotte continue to attack the mouth that is above them, trying to eat them*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *is eyeing the situation, debating escaping or staying due to Jaime*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I love this family."
<Seraphna> **Jaime warps herself and Adeline clear**
<DeathStar> *Athena paws in victory*
<DeathStar> *Chii rolls out of the tent*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan has ridden out in Chii’s shadow**
<DeathStar> *Ren has her and Charlotte escape*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We found Tim Bo. Any sign of the vase?"
<DeathStar> *Cheryl gets out of the tent with Tim Bo and the tent shrinks and shrinks until it turns into.... a clown. Bim Bo*
<DeathStar> *Adeline points* It is still.... inside that. *She points at Bimbo*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> Oh my. Are we looking for this? *he reaches inside himself, pulls out the vase, wiggles it, pretends ot almost drop it, then drops it into his mouth and burps*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Jaime, this is your fear. Deal with it."
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> What do you call a bearded vase maker? Hairy potter. *he honks his nose*
<DeathStar> *he begins to approach them* You want more?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Isn't that joke thousands of years out of date?"
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> My son just had his first day at the British Museum, his first task was to guard a multi million pound glass vase...Apparently he said he smashed it!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...we are not amused."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I can already hear mother screaming."
<DeathStar> *Ren twitches*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then makes a show of yawning*
<DeathStar> <Bimbo> That's okay, I'm not really hear to tell jokes anymore.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then what do you want?"
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'm sure you can write better ones if you put your heart into it."
<DeathStar> *He lifts up Victoire and begins to try to stuff her into his mouth if not stopped, transforming slowly into a horrific eldritch like monster* To eat all of you in front of the girl. And then leave her behind. Now that's a joke
<DeathStar> *Ren grabs Victoire and begins to tug at her*
<DeathStar> *Adeline begins to prepare her staff*
<Alicia> * Victoire uses reality power to start to crush Bimbo. "How about you start by learning to read the room."
<DeathStar> *Bimbo gags and recoils from Victoire in pain, burning*
<DeathStar> *fleeing from the scene*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well. I think, Victoire, you put the fear of reality into him
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises a hand and lobs several dark matter spikes at the retreating clown*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Good."
<DeathStar> *the spikes do slight damage and the Bim Bo sinks into the ground, becoming part of the landscape*
<DeathStar> *Adeline holds her staff* Alright, we need to yank the vase from it's gut
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That or destroy it and retrieve it
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Victoire could probably just outright vaporize it with her reality power but it could be costly.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Though he could keep pulling this run away act."
<DeathStar> *Athena kneels and begins to sing softly*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Would that... affect the thing inside?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Vaporize it?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> No. It shouldn't. Hell. If we could get a two for one...
<Alicia> <Victoire> "In that case, I really shouldn't break the vase... at least unless you're sure we can take it on here and now."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Let me see
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The gas was taken out by Ariel with a move that could strike gas. If while you're destroying Bimbo with your reality powers you could charge Noire and have her unleash a blackhole
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So large and powerful it could destroy all trace of the gas
<Alicia> <Victoire> "It's worth a try."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I imagine it'll be big enough to affect us so be on the look out
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... sounds fun."
<Seraphna> **Jaime puts an arm around Adeline**
<DeathStar> *while they're talking, Tim Bo begins ot freak out as Cheryl and Chii are standing by Tim Bo; The clown rises up andn begins to open up to eat Chii*
<DeathStar> <Bim Bo> Fox - tastes like chicken
<DeathStar> *Chii throws explosive stars in his mouth and tries to leap away*
<Alicia> * Victoire starts to attack Bimbo with reality powers. "I was going to just ask if you'd just give us the vase then leave us alone, but no, I guess I have to finish you off."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan lashes shadowed moonlight at Bimbo**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *spawns her tendrils and tries to grapple Bimbo*
<DeathStar> *Bim Bo begins to wiggle and make honking noises*
<DeathStar> *Chii gets free and Cheryl pulls out her new arm to unleash a blast of energy*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Okay. *She begins to have everyone get away as Victoire's reality power begins to burn Bimbo away from existence slowly, her power level depleting slowly. The eldritch creature, despite half it's body gone and being tendrilled,, as part of it's body lunge for Noire and grab at her*
<Alicia> * Charlotte pauses, then pulls out a familiar sword. "I guess I can use this..." And seeing what Bimbo is doing, slashes at him.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Release me!"
<DeathStar> <Bim Bo> I will take you with me~. *it screeches until the sword strikes it, and it's limbs vanish*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Yes erase it!
<Alicia> <Victoire> "You will not."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *leaps back and then summons dark matter blades to try to impale the clown from every angle*
<DeathStar> *The clown jerks as it's impaled, by now the vase can be seen in it's gut due to how much of it's body has been erased by Victoire*
<DeathStar> *it still attempts to lunge forward even after being impaled, trying to bite at whoever is closest*
<DeathStar> *it's head going unnaturally far, the neck streeeeeetching*
<DeathStar> <Athena> *keeps her singing up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries raising a dark matter spike from the ground through its head*
<Alicia> * Victoire keeps her voice for the vase.
<Seraphna> **Jaime blasts of** Bad!
<Seraphna> *it
<DeathStar> *the Bim Bo creature finally begins to seemingly be erased/destroyed, leaving just the vase behind*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Did we do it?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..hopefully this is the end of it..."
<DeathStar> *something moves suddenly - a red clown nose*
<DeathStar> *it rolls to the side*
<DeathStar> *headed for a rock*
<Alicia> * Charlotte slices the nose in half
<DeathStar> *Charlotte's hand would twitch and the sword would flicker red for a moment, but the nose would be cut in half and then fade from existence*
<DeathStar> *never to be there again or exist again*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ...*taps her foot where it was*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "... ... ...let's get out of here."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...this sword is a difficult weapon... but given its power, it's for the best. I shouldn't rely on things like that."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> While we're here
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Lets deal with the case
<DeathStar> *Vase
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think the sword can destroy it
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...then, I'll rely on it one more time."
<DeathStar> *Ren looks worried, ears down*
<DeathStar> *Adeline seems to be observing something*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You sure you're up to it, Char?
<DeathStar> *Adeline positions the vase for Charlotte then steps back*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This one time... yes."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... not going to wait to let the other Taiga observe the kill?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll hand her my data; it'll have to be enough. If for some reason it fails and it escapes, I rather it be down here then up there
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It'll cause less havoc down here." *moves the smash the vase, then stab the creature when it comes out*
<Alicia> *to*
<DeathStar> *the emerald sword slashes through the gas form of the monster; Cheryl, Ren, Adeline, even Athena hold her breath as it cuts through it. Charlotte then would feel the sword, while it's going through the gas body, start to act up on her, jerking and her hand cramping. The sword going from green to red*
<Alicia> * Charlotte keeps slicing, holding her arm with her other arm as she does.
<Alicia> * VIctoire sings to provide power to Charlotte, and Noire as instructed
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *starts powering up a singularity to drop on top of the Beast*
<DeathStar> *it finishes the cut through, the gas almost blowing up and fading from reality, the sword glows ominously twice as powerful than it was before, but an evil feeling comign from it, like it's fighting her for a moment, before the singing calms it down back to green*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is it over...?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *drops the singularity to hoover up any of the gas that might have escaped*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Lets give the sword a Wind-metal trim, just in case."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have to say
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seeing you use the Emerald Sword is impressive
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just becareful - the red form is dangerous from what little I know
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hopefully it won't be needed again in the near future."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't feel impressive... my arm is cramped up, and I feel exhausted."
<DeathStar> *Ren rubs Charlotte's arm*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright lets get home
<Alicia> <Victoire> "It's impressive that you could do that much."
<DeathStar> <Chii> Practice makes perfect
<DeathStar> -Time Hop-
<DeathStar> Location: Fumoffu Club Room
<DeathStar> *As they return, they find a clown that you'd find a kid's party and cake; the club hands each of them party balloons*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I got you a party clown to celebrate
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the clown*
<DeathStar> *the clown makes a fox balloon and holds it out*
<Seraphna> **Jaime aims glowing hands**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's... not exactly the way I want to celebrate."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother, you know that Jaime is afraid of clowns."
<DeathStar> *The clown hands Jaime what looks to be a crown balloon*
<DeathStar> *Then does a <3>
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You want me to fire Happy the Clown?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **stands frozen** I do not fear you demon.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'll tell Happy to kick it to the curb and no money for the kids at the hospital
<DeathStar> *Happy tilts head and offers Jaime a hug*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh boy. *Goes to break it up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Jaime... its over. Maste ryour fear... you are the empress, for crying out loud."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "This is embarrassing."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll have Happy come with me and give him a buck or two
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Please do."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl leads the clown along*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well, if everything worked out, I'll have Rei come along with me and resume our luncheon.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmm...so you two had lunch without me?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Did you two have hamburgers?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> We were discussing Idol stuff with Athena and Victoire there believe it or not. Athena wants to expand the Idols into the Mirror Universe
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That's a good idea. Idols for everyone."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Now that Mirror Universe sepeate again, Idols only located here.
<DeathStar> <Athena> They'll need either their own Idols, or have tours over there
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... if you're going to do that, then why not do some sor tof cooperation with the Maka."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That's a really good idea."
<DeathStar> *Athena jots that down*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena will look into that!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that's why I am often called in as a consultant by the Suisen nowadays."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Well, you definitely have pretty good insight into idols."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I used to be in a co-housing arrangement with my twin sister."
<DeathStar> *Ren runs up and grabs Char's hand*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm going to make sure Charlotte is okay
<DeathStar> <Ren> So I'll let you all close up shop today
<DeathStar> *Ren lifts Charlotte into her arms and carries her out*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mm...I'll clean up here then."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well lets do more idol talk later.
<DeathStar> *Andrea steps out for now though, along with Athena; Cheryl and Chii also exit*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...and Adeline, make sure Taiga gets that data."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Right. *She heads to locate H. Taiga, who has made her way to the offices*
<DeathStar> *Tim Bo sits in his little area, throwing a party that he's free of Bim Bo*
<DeathStar> *already drunk*
