<DeathStar> Date: 10-762.1.18
<DeathStar> Location: Fumoffu Club
<DeathStar> *Taiga has the Erevis AI on her desk while tinkering with some Progenitor tech; Adeline is off to the side with some Cartel folders*
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers between the AI and her wife**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I invited Sparkling to come join us today
<DeathStar> *She tells Jaime*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps into the club room* "Mmmmmmm...I sensed that someone was in the club room today."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I figured you had little cameras
<Alicia> * Charlotte and Sparkling head in, Astra a bit after.
<DeathStar> *Taiga attempts to rotate the sphere in her hands like a rubux cube* Ah, welcome.
<DeathStar> *Ren pulls Charlotte close to her, nuzzling*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..cameras are not my style, Ren."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan steps out of Noire’s shadow** And I prefer to use them with willing models.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Sparkling, since I knew you were still in the neighborhood, I wanted to have you be with us as we go over to the Mirror Universe. There's an experiment I'd like to conduct
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oh? What's that?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Since time travel no longer works here, I wanted travel over to your side and see about not really traveling into the past but check on a few things to help with our investigation.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ask a few questions that deal
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, have you any idea what Taiga is going on about?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think she wants to ask a few questions about the past
<DeathStar> <Ren> What, I have no idea
<DeathStar> *Taiga leads them to her ship*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well the first question I'd like to see if we can answer - is Erevis, Megumi, and Xanatos still in their time loop.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I have no idea there."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...perhaps she wishes to consult their time spirit."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Noire has the basic idea.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Observing shouldn't cause problems."
<Seraphna> Jaime> It has confused me why she would be free but not them.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Now I see... Taiga wishes to answer that question."
<DeathStar> <Ren> That is one quick way to cut to the chase
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is that even Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I don't know, but if the answer is she's not in the loop, then we can rest easier. On the other hand...
<DeathStar> *Taiga sets up position on the bridge, with Adeline and Ren sitting in the back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Presumably, if Erevis is still locked in that tiem loop, then we have a stranger in our midst."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I expect it's that."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Someone, but possibly not a stranger. Though the other possibility is one I thought long gone.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Of course, grasping at time is like trying to catch the ocean in your hands."
<Seraphna> Jaime> A long time ago when Athena and Isis were babies, another Erevis tried to seize control.
<DeathStar> *Taiga flies them out toward the gate*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I been conversing with the AI Erevis that she left Kyouki
<Seraphna> Jaime> We thought she was destroyed when Sammael and Jennifer each defeated her in the past.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The AI does not match up with the new Erevis on the majority of actions
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It also lacks most of the knowledge this Erevis has, but -- but--- I have to confess, it's an AI with limited capacity to store information in
<Jackieness> <Noire> "MMmmm...did Erevis ever exist in Wind's reality?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think so
<DeathStar> <Ren> She at least knew about it
<Seraphna> Jaime> That is a complicated question, but yes a version of her at least.
<DeathStar> *Taiga stops at the gate and begins to open it, the swirling vortex appearing*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...is there any chance this might be that version of Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Everyone buckled in?
<Seraphna> **Jaime and Kaelan buckle in**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *buckles in*
<Alicia> * Astra nods
<Alicia> * already buckled in
<DeathStar> *Taiga flies through the gate; as they are passing through, the ship oddly hits turbulance as if something is attacking it and those onboard would feel like their heads are full of fog and are having trouble concentrating*
<DeathStar> *Ren reaches to hit the alarm off button as it rails loudly, warning them not to crash into the hyperspace tunnel walls, but the multiverse tunnel walls*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What is this?!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is this what Gnome goes through each time!? **foggily noms on Adeline’s hair**
<DeathStar> *Taiga gets them out the other side and the foggy feeling passes and they'd see Geyze/Kumen and their memories of how the future is cements back to normal, how has it? Is everything really normal?
<DeathStar> *Adeline blinks and peers at Jaime, as she holds her head, glancing at the two worlds* At least we're here.
<DeathStar> *their ship is hailed as Hapian space ships approach them*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Can one of you get that?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **taps comms** Empress Zhenmei here.
<DeathStar> *A Hapian soldier's face appears* Welcome, Empress. May we give you escort to the castle?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That works. *she flicks switches to follow them*
<Seraphna> Jaime> That would be lovely.
<DeathStar> *they come in and follow the ships; outside Hapian City is now a spaceport of sorts with a statue of Luna being built*
<DeathStar> *Taiga slowly lands the shuttle near where the statue states at them - judging*
<DeathStar> *Ren steps off the shuttle and stretches, peering back as Taiga gathers her stuff* <Taiga> Sparkling, I'll need your help while here - Astra too
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps off of the shuttle* "Mmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Something up Noire?
<Alicia> <Astra> "What's up?"
<DeathStar> *a few of the citizens are staring at Noire and company, looking hungry*
<DeathStar> *a group of escorts arrive for Jaime, making a grand show of it* This way
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this place is not the way I remember it."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> When was the last time you been here? A few decades?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "MMmm...I suppose that's a fair point."
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads out, watching the hungry people
<DeathStar> *The group is escorted up the levels of the palace to where Luna is on the throne, eating a meaty piece of meat while reclining. Soren standing by her side like how Aska used to do*
<DeathStar> *Soren eyes them - these days she looks a lot like Aska*
<DeathStar> <Soren> The Queen greets you all
<DeathStar> <Ren> .. *peers around Charlotte, eyeing the food*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, manners."
* Ariel has joined #fumoffu
<DeathStar> <Soren> ... a-hem
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The food is eaten later, Ren."
<DeathStar> <Soren> The Queen offers you room and board as her guests. And will prepare a feast in your honor. Please, stay
<DeathStar> *Soren motions for them to follow her as Luna keeps eating*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *muses thoughtfully*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> *Adeline walks along with Ren looking hungry now*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lowers her voice* "...did that not seem odd to you?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Soren, is it possible we can get in touch with a time spirit or someone with time abilities here? *Soren pauses, glancing back* <Soren> .... I would becareful of asking after time spirits. As for the latter, ... I will see what can be done. *she stops at their rooms after showing it to them, then moves to go*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, I try to stop up to date on Geyze history - everything should be accurate. I stress should be. But I admit something feels off since going through entering the gate here
<DeathStar> *stay
<Seraphna> Jaime> You know who I want to check on.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah, my head has been a little wobble
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... and who do you want to check on?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Do you not find it odd how the queen said nothing?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> You think Luna is under a spell?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I don't know...it just seems strange."
<Seraphna> Jaime> My wife and daughter?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Can't you just summon Gnome here?
<Seraphna> **Jaime tries**
<DeathStar> *Gnome appears, yawning*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright. *She looks at Sparkling* You getting any bad vibes?
<Seraphna> **Jaime scoops her up**
<DeathStar> *Gnome blinks*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hello darling.
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Hello
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances over* "...that does not seem to be a particularly enthusiastic welcome, Jaime."
<DeathStar> *Ren directs the question to Astra
<Alicia> * Charlotte instead feels for vibes
<Seraphna> Jaime> My dear mudpie, Noire wants to see our love.
<DeathStar> *Charlotte would feel everything being normal*
<DeathStar> <Gnome> H-Here? In front of everyone?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Uh...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Jaime, don't make it weird."
<Seraphna> **Jaime just gives her a soft kiss**
<DeathStar> *Gnome leans into the kiss while Taiga checks out the room* As much as I'd like to be pampered here, my goal is to ask questions about the past
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You think the Academy or the Magi can do it?
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... No Clue!
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If Soren is against using a time spirit, it can't hurt? *She looks to Sparkling and Astra*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Don't see how it would."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Jaime, can you take us to the Academy
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...time spirits may even be off of the menu."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "How strange."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think Jaime is too busy kissing
<DeathStar> <Ren> So --- walk?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...borrow one of their local vehicles."
<DeathStar> *Ren heads down to the castle exit* Come on
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Now, where is the carriage...?"
<DeathStar> *As they reach the carriages, and Soren ambushes them* <Soren> Leaving already?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Just an outting to visit the Academy. We'll be back in time for dinner."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Sorry we can't stay until the feast, but we're very busy."
<DeathStar> <Soren> ... Hm. Alright. *she gives the Aska stare down, stepping aside* Try not to get into trouble.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What trouble could we get into at 'school', mmmmmm?
<DeathStar> <Soren> *arches eyebrow*
<DeathStar> *Ren hurries inside the carriage*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *takes the seat to drive it while Adeline steps in*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *climbs in*
<DeathStar> *Ren mumbles about missing Selena as Queen as Taiga drives them off toward the Academy once they're all in, passing Luna's statue*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hopefully we see some more friendly faces at the Academy
<Jackieness> <Noire> "The current queen barely acknowledges our existence, does not speak yto us, and erects giant statues of herself. Quite a different style than her predecessors."
<DeathStar> *they arrive outside the massive Academy - it is now even larger than before, practically the size of a small city, with multiple buildings and set ups all over the place. The Peacekeepers are no longer there and have been relocated elsewhere as they come in*
<DeathStar> *Fae smashes into the carriage, having been flying around and slides down painfully*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I hit a bird
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that was a spirit, Taiga."
<DeathStar> *Fae twitches on the ground*
<Alicia> * Astra lifts Fae off the ground. "Does anyone know spirit first aid?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Not really
<Alicia> * Sparkling heals Fae, at least a little
<DeathStar> *Fae sits up and sways comedically*
<DeathStar> <Fae> W-Welcome
<Seraphna> **Jaime helps** Daughter in law.
<DeathStar> *Fae stands up* What brings you all here - to enroll?
<DeathStar> *Taiga surveys the school and one can see an ancient looking Sasha up in her pyramid, staring at the kids*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ah, no, we're looking for someone who can find out something for us."
<DeathStar> *striking fear into the academy*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "while I still retain my schoolgirl looks, I am not here to attend as a student."
<Alicia> <Astra> "What's wrong with the time spirits?"
<DeathStar> <Fae> Oh. *hangs head* It's a long story. .... Ours is dead! *nod*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Not so long
<Alicia> <Astra> "Ah."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm....I think the part leading to the spirit's death is the long part, Ren."
<DeathStar> <Fae> But if you need help with time, follow me
<DeathStar> *Fae flutters off*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *folows*
<DeathStar> *Taiga, Ren, and Adeline follow; they arrive where Chelsea's garage use to be and Melodie and Aimee used to hang out. Now they find Origin there, hovering around in her big form*
<DeathStar> *she seems to be tinkering with all sorts of machines, having made it her place*
<DeathStar> *tiny little Nicolette dolls are moving about on their own and greet the team*
<Seraphna> **Terra pops up behind Fae**
<DeathStar> *Fae squaeals in freight and crashes into some Nicos*
<DeathStar> <Origin> ...
<DeathStar> *she eyes the dolls sadly*
<Alicia> * Astra tries to repair the dolls
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This spirit seems accident-prone."
<Seraphna> Terra> Fae pretty and perfect
<DeathStar> <Fae> S-Sorry
<DeathStar> *Origin seems happy at Astra's attempt and takes them*
<DeathStar> <Origin> *speaks normally and not in their heads* How can help you?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We're trying to find out what happened in the past."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga, do explain what 'specifically' we want."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ah right, I should have been more specific."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We'd like to check a few things in the past - not really go there. For example, see if Erevis Zhenmei is still in the time loop. *Origin listens almost blankly, looking around for someone as she listens, holding her doll*
<DeathStar> <Origin> Can try.
<DeathStar> *They group begins to witness - Nicolette's young past on Kumen. Taiga pauses, then deadpans* Huh?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Wrong time and space."
<Seraphna> Terra> Grandma back and didn’t bring presents!?
<DeathStar> <Origin> Oh. Try again. *the cute Nicolette poofs*
<DeathStar> *As Nicolette goes to try again, a voice speaks up* <Voice> No using time, Lavenza. Not when I'm busy doing it.
<DeathStar> *Origin
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Who's that?"
<DeathStar> *the group would see a petite green hair spirit form, younger looking than Avenir - the super spirit time spirit*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Eeeek
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm....how annoying."
<DeathStar> *Origin/Lavenza turns to look at them slowly when the super spirit lifts their fingers* Lets try this again. Maybe this one will stick. *she snaps*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Cutie~
<DeathStar> *the group would wake up on the ground, the same foggyness from when they were traveling through the gate tunnel. This time, the academy is not super large, but is mostly shrunk due to a large battle decades ago and it seems not many students are there. Sasha is not even the Headmistress, but some no name. Their brains are telling them this future is correct, but a naggling is in the back of their brains*
<DeathStar> *Taiga sits up* My head hurts
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *barfs*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "....what just happened?"
<DeathStar> *Melodie and Aimee are helping Sparkling up, since they're right in front of Chelsea's garage*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Something very annoying."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I felt like we were talking to Origin, but....
<DeathStar> <Melodie> You okay? *she waves hand in front of Sparkling*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ah well, lets go find them."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm okay..."
<DeathStar> <Aimee> ... *they look at each other, perhaps thinking the group is a little loopy, but they begin to lead them toward where Nicolette teaches*
<DeathStar> *it turns out to be a massive building*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I see now why you two still look young
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Ah?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> A building that size must house a lot of books
<DeathStar> *Lumi in the background is teaching someone to take over the Peacekeepers, standing beside someone who looks familiar. Ren jerks and holds up her hand, then runs off*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<Alicia> * Yoiyami waves, not looking any older somehow.
<DeathStar> *Ren pounces Yoiyami and nuzzles. Lumi deadpans* <Lumi> Ren
<DeathStar> *she sounds old and tired despite not looking it*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Hi mom! Hi other mom! And you brought Astra!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> For some reason I was super worried when I didn't... see you. But you're here. So I am seeing you.
<DeathStar> *Yoiyami's peers and students begin to whisper about Ren*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "How long were you looking?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Charlotte, how long were we looking?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "A while, but not long enough to search the whole place."
<DeathStar> *Melodie meanwhile opens Nicolette's doors to her building and steps in after Aimee*
<DeathStar> *Taiga throwing a wave at Yoi before stepping in*
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns a little, pouting, and tries to summon Gnome again**
<DeathStar> *Gnome appears on Jaime's lap, yawning*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Uh guys
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You might want to come in here
<Seraphna> **Jaime carries her Gnomey over to Taiga** Hello again~
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads over, with Yoiyami and Astra
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm?" *moves to join Taiga*
<DeathStar> *They find a little shrine dedicated to Origin in the corner, indicating Origin is gone, a Lavenza name on it. Nicolette can be heard working in the building, but last time Nicolette was in the club, didn't she have...?*
<DeathStar> <Melodie> See? Origin gone long time
<DeathStar> <Aimee> No way you saw
<Seraphna> Jaime> So either we saw a ghost or we are not connected to our current timeline.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...no...this does not seem right."
<DeathStar> *Selena steps around the corner holding some books of Nico's, wearing her queen outfit* Oh. Hello
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And how are we not in our timeline? When..?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Probably just before I got annoyed by... probably whatever caused this."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...ladies, we have been played, I think."
<DeathStar> *Selena listens to them, folding her book* <Aimee> This a fake timeline again? I hate it when that happens
<DeathStar> <Melodie> If this is fake, I can do this
<DeathStar> *she kisses Sparkling and dips her*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You could do that anyway."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright so how do we trace ourselves back to the correct one?
<DeathStar> <Selena> A spell?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No clue."
<DeathStar> <Selena> If you are correct, a spell would be the easiest way
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I feel like there was something like this before..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think when we first came here
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "No, before that."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We had to save Sylph from... oh wait, you mean this time."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Do not tell me this is a regular occurrence on this side of the gate."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Question, if we borrow cute spirits in one timeline can we take them into another?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oh, no, it was years ago."
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Oh, right, when the students came over?"
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "That was so long ago..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> If it was rhat long ago, you're right this happens alot
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga, was the gate acting up because we were connecting to an altered timeline?"
<DeathStar> <Melodie> We could try asking Avenir, but she's been missing for ... a long time I think.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Only way that could happen is if it was acting up due to someone powerful enough to mess with it mid-transport
<DeathStar> *the spirits meanwhile have begun to step away from Kaelan*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...would someone powerful to manipulate the timeline be powerful to tamper with the gate in such a way?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pouts** What? I want a spare Nox.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's all beyond what I know. You'd need to ask someone like Lana---- <Aimee> Oh, Sorry, no can do
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm? Oh right she was human... she'd be terribly old now wouldn't she?
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Also Nox in naughty spirit jail
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What? Why?
<DeathStar> <Gnome> For being a traitor!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **blinks** MY Nox? A traitor!?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Traitor?"
<DeathStar> <Gnome> You don't remember? You were at the trial and threatening to break her out
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'm going to break her out right now! There's no way my Nox would do that.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Good luck with that."
<DeathStar> <Gnome> But she was the one who let the Super Spirits get close enough to kill so man of us
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...Kaelan, enough, Find out information, then decide on a course of action."
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Poor Fae.
<Seraphna> Jaime> WHat!?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> No... this is all fucked up. I want to see her now.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Please enlighten us with the details."
<DeathStar> *Gnome seems dumbfounded at them*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I can fill in some of the details
<Seraphna> Jaime> Where's Terra? She wouldn't have kept something like that from us?
<DeathStar> <Selena> The Higher, or super Spirits, stuck sometime after summer break after Nox supposedly had given them all the information they needed on locations, plans, where to attack, when to attack. They came ---- <Voice> That's enough of that
<DeathStar> *the green hair girl is back, floating*
<DeathStar> *Selena looks up* <Selena> I thought we ---
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What kind of joke is this!?
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> Oh it's a hilarious one in my eyes. *she lifts her hand up* Lets try another one *She begins to snap it again*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan is something the opposite of glowing, growling at her** You...
<DeathStar> *snap*
<Alicia> * Sparkling gathers energy around herself.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh, we're being toyed with---
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *The group would find themselves face first in sand*
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and sits up**
<DeathStar> *Taiga groans and pushes herself up* I think someone does not want us using any time
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... that or they're locking down the future
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this is long past annoying."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan hops up, growling a bit still** I agree, I'm Noire levels of annoyed!
<DeathStar> *all around them - the Academy is no more*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I feel like things have gotten worse.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yoi!? *she looks around* Yoiyami!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So, we need to beat the spirit."
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes a breath and focuses, glowing as she spreads spiritual awareness out**
<DeathStar> *Jaime would sense ... powerful spirits way stronger than their own. They're all over the planet, as the planet's spirit and mana are almost totally tapped out*
<DeathStar> *Gnome, who Jaime is holding onto, looks deathly ill and is unresponsive*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I feel... those mega spirits, all around us.
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Gnome!? **she blinks, confused as to how she came with them and pulls her into herself to preserve her with her own spirit**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So, we need to defeat them..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "They must have shifted us to another time period where they have already won."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This Lavenza is kind of a bitch huh?
<DeathStar> *Origin is offended*
<DeathStar> *the spirits seem to be converging onto them, perhaps sensing spirit energy among the group*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...these beings are like parasites... leeching off the vital force of a world before moving on."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **muses and pulls out Truth from her Katana Sheathe** If you're trying to convince us not to mess with time, you won that one already. Quit playing.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Discount Avenir, you hear me?
<DeathStar> *a large spirit appears in front of them, with flaming red hair and flames literally, bulking arms, beside him is tall ice woman, and then the petite time spirit appears since called out*
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> Discount Avenir? That is a new one
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well I liked my model better.
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> You wished to have words before you are gone?
<Seraphna> **Jaime eyes them with growing ire and hate, after all, they're treatening Gnome and probably killed off her family members here**
<DeathStar> *she steps toward them, giving off a strange killing intent* It is not often you get to kill the same people again
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah, why this bullshit game? We never asked to mess with your timeline. That's not our intent.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can only see a few reasons to mess with the timeline
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Fear of losing
<Seraphna> Jaime> Indeed.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm getting the feeling we have to beat up these guys anyway..."
<DeathStar> *The time spirit says nothing* If you are pleading to go back to your gate, you are not making a good case
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hmmm?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *pushes her glasses up along the bridge of her nose*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If you're hoping to intimidate us away because we mean to turn the future away from this, then you've already underestimated those you think we came to help.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Funny thing is, I had no intention of fighting anyone until all this happened."
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> And what can you do? 100 years too late?
<Alicia> * Sparkling blasts the Time Spirit
<DeathStar> *The Time Spirit vanishes*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...that just happened."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Clearly not too late if you felt the need to stop us being here. Or hiding the past from us.
<DeathStar> *the group would begin to find time distorting to the point they're barely able to move and the spirit appears again, slowly walking toward them*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Your game is to scare us. Which means you yourself aren't certain.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *Tries to move*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, it's working! I'm getting scared.
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts to let her full powers out, speeding herself, trying to move against it as a Progenitor**
<DeathStar> *Jaime would find she can barely move her limbs about now
<DeathStar> *The Time Spirit zooms forward - but not at Jaime*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...she has us in a time dilation."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> What is the best way to get out then
<Seraphna> Jaime> Move outside the current continuum or dimension she controls the space in.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *narrows her eyes then tries to form a dark matter singularity*
<DeathStar> *The Time Spirit forms weapons and stabs Ren in the chest, turning to Noire and Jaime as they're moving about*
<Seraphna> **Jaime tries to warp herself at the Spirit**
<DeathStar> *then leaps for Charlotte as Jaime intercepts*
<DeathStar> *meanwhile the singularity slowly begins to form*
<Seraphna> **Jaime slams a hyperspace fist at her**
<DeathStar> *The time spirit bounces back and seems to have massive damage until it rewinds*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *focuses on expanding the singularity*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan reaches into her darkness and divinity and beings to try something too, pulling at the Spirit energy of these beings**
<DeathStar> *The fire one erupts fire under Kaelan - slowly it begins to rise up due to the time bubble*
<Seraphna> Jaime> And if that can get you... you didn't win in every timeline. **She grins, eyes glowing as she warps and does it again**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan forms a foxhole for the fire and directs it at the ice being as she keeps trying to absorb**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah, they're scared."
<DeathStar> *the fire, as soon as the foxhole forms, begins to work it's way around it*
<DeathStar> *She stretches and licks her lips*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You fucked with my Puffs. **She forms more foxholes, all over**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Charlotte, help Ren." *continues to form her singularity*
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods, doing that
<Seraphna> **Kaelan slides one over herself to move into the space between**
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> Well, it is fun to see what ou can do
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> But lets end this
<Seraphna> **Jaime warps at her again** Fuck you.
<DeathStar> *Jaime would find herself somewhere in space, while the others in the bubble, right as the singularity begins to break the time bubble up, has a giant comet flynig down, much larger than the entire area of the academy*
<DeathStar> *Ren drops into Char's arm as time returns to normal*
<Seraphna> Jaime> SParking, hit it! **She holds out her hands and starts trying to slow it**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... Astrophysics 101. The event horizon of a black hole can affect time."
<Alicia> * Sparkling pushes the comet away, doing so at an angle rather that just trying to push it backwards, so it misses completely
<Seraphna> **Kaelan considers what to do, then starts seeping darkness out around the bigger ones to try and cloud them and keep them occupied**
<DeathStar> *prepare yourself SpARK*

<Alicia> (Sorry, I don't know what the proper counterpart to "Tight" is)
<Ariel> (Reft, clearly)
<DeathStar> *Sparkling manages to get it from crashing, but it she would find the effort at her age has tapped her out*
<Seraphna> **Jaime begins warping back, forming her blade as she goes**
<DeathStar> *The other three spirits for the most part seem to be observing*
<DeathStar> *Ren is straining her healing mechanics and holding her chest*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...are we done with this nonsense yet?"
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> We have all the time in the world. Do you?
<Seraphna> **Jaime appears, eyes shining** Do you though?
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> Oh, I would enjoy stomping you. *She licks her lips, and Jaime would feel time being played around her body*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I can't help but realize, you're a spirit no matter how much power you have. You follow the same rules. You're here. For real.
<Alicia> <Astra> "Thinking about it, they obviously don't. They wouldn't be doing this if they did."
<DeathStar> <Large Spirit> I want to break the little one
<DeathStar> *he snorts fire*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Just how much time do you have to give Avenir? **she focuses, resisting as best she can** While you play games?
<Alicia> * Astra forces the fire back into the spirit
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> *smiles* That's who you're counting on to help you?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **hops out of a hole** Oh I know your type. You fashioned yourself as Gods.
<DeathStar> *The Time Spirit tosses something on the ground*
<DeathStar> *it looks like a hand*
<Alicia> <Astra> ".... oh, sorry, I thought you were attacking me." *is legitimately apologetic*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What is your point to all this? Flexing your power? Do you get off on torturing?
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> Well, Lets just say we're establishing the groundwork for the future. Several of them. You just happened to blunder into it. And now you've gotten my bloodlust up
<DeathStar> <Time Spirit> So the offer to flee back to your side is off the table
<Seraphna> Kaelan> As you did mine, Discount.
<DeathStar> *Taiga's ship has slowly been creeping along*
<DeathStar> *trying to remain out of sight*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If you mean to take what's mine, I intend to take you. And all you value.

<DeathStar> *Kaelan and Jaime would feel attacks from nowhere, slices appearing on their arm, but nothing hitting vital organs*
<DeathStar> *the Time Spirit never moving from her spot*
<DeathStar> *right until one of her fingers get snipped*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan doesn't move, holy light working to patch her**
<DeathStar> *Taiga beeps Noire to get Charlotte and Ren ont othe ship*
<Seraphna> **Jaime pauses in her own reaction seeing the finger go**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Just another God.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to shadowport Ren and Charlotte to theship*
<DeathStar> *Adeline stps into it*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> <Jaime, you plan to keep fighting?>
<DeathStar> *Taiga is flickering switches, trying to figure out how to reverse what they did*
<Seraphna> **Jaime responds in the negative, shifting intentionally to throw a shadow close enough to Kaelan, who steps into it as she warps**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm hoping if we try this it'll reverse the process at least for a bit
<Alicia> <Astra> "I don't get any of this." *sighs and teleports onto the ship*
<Seraphna> **Jaime then collapses and lets her Dragoon Healing take over**
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to fly back and takes them when alarms go off; the engines are overheating due to fire attaching itself to it and ice on the other attaching to it*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan slips out of Noire's shadow and looks livid, but Truth takes her human form to hug her, probably the reason she left the fight**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We have problems
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs** Now that I can do soemthign about. **she touches the ship and starts covering it in a shield of Divine Moonlight**
<DeathStar> *Kaelan gets a lucky RNG ad the shield holds partially, only one engine exploding*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *stands and moves to the back of the ship* "...and now mother will spank." *raises a ahand and starts conjuring a swarm of dark matter needles to attack the two spirits*
<DeathStar> *Ren coughs and eyes as Noire as the fire one lands on the shield outside and the ship lurches*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If our loves don't win in the past I'm going to eat these creeps.
<DeathStar> *he pounds on it, not pleased at Noire*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses and starts to pray for increased protection**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A shame we can't send a message to the past
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll be sure to attach messages to stars in the future
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmmmm...unless we sent the message so far back that this time spirit cnanot risk altering events to stop us."
<Seraphna> **Jaime doesn't pray, for that would be talking to herself, instead she manifests a dark blade out in space and points it, so that the spirit would effectively "run" into it being outside the ship as they go**
<DeathStar> *Taiga manages to reach the portal and begins to retrace their steps, U-Turning mid-way*
<DeathStar> *the ship comes back out and there's no sign of spirits*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to sit back down* "We have established that we can hurt them."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *coughs up blood* Yeah? That looked more like pissing them off
<DeathStar> *Taiga quietly scans stuff* I think this is the correct future
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits wearily** The time spirit needed to reverse my damage. I hope Terra punches her face in.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You'd be angry if someone gave you a black eye after centuries of seeming invincibility."
<DeathStar> *She looks at Sparkling and Astra* I'm going to land somewhere neutral and see
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I want my Nox and I want these shitty mega spirits to be mega dead.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Origin examines the damage done to it, having brought the tools from their workshop, which seems to be canon in the future*
<DeathStar> <Origin> Sense lots of chrono energy
<DeathStar> *Ren hangs off Origin* Yoi~. I was stabbed~. Again~
<DeathStar> *Origin flails, chirping for Nico*
<Seraphna> **Terra offers Ren a giant fruit**
<Seraphna> Terra> Take this! It has vitamins, healing energy, and taurine!
<DeathStar> <Origin> Have theory. If interested. *as Ren chomps on the fruit*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Origin> They were testing variations of the outcome of the battle. You could have encountered time spirit from past. Much like Chronos would jump around timeline.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Makes sense."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I don't like her.
<DeathStar> <Origin> By gathering intel now, they are hoping to increase odds.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She framed my Nox. And cut at me. And isn't cute like Avenir at all.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But seeing as the future is we won, I don't think we have anything to worry about, right?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...the Nox angle needs to be worked."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> My Nox.
<DeathStar> <Origin> ..... *looks silent on the Nox sitution*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> ...If she's in Spirit Jail here too I'm gonna bite someone.
<DeathStar> <Origin> She is not
<DeathStar> <Origin> I am not a spirit of time like Avenir, but what little I can interact, Nox is deemed traitor 75% of the time in timeline variations
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That time spirit stopped Selena before she could tell us the full details. We need those details to find out the how and why."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Then 75% of the timeline variations are filthy lies.
<DeathStar> *Origin shrinks at that*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Kaelan, enough. You are being emotional." *pushes up her glasses*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She's my DAUGHTER, of course I am.
<DeathStar> <Origin> You came here because you w-wanted answers to question
<DeathStar> <Origin> Not sure if Nicolette would approve
<DeathStar> *Taiga rubs her eyes*
<Seraphna> **Jaime breathes** Well, we don't need anything timeline changing, we just need to know if someone IS currently somewhere in time at this moment.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then focus on constructive actions rather than raging to the heavens. If you want to fix this, then we need to bring that percentage down to zero."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan fumes but nods and sulks**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan whispers into her tails at Nocturne** We're cheating somehow. Saving our Nox.
<DeathStar> <Origin> Which one in which time loop are you wanting?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There's more than one?
<Seraphna> Jaime> My mother, Erevis. She should be with Momma Megumi and my Dad.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Both are with both
<DeathStar> *Origin
<DeathStar> <Origin> It is why I'm asking
* Dias` has joined #fumoffu
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks confused**
<DeathStar> <Origin> There are two sets of loops
<DeathStar> <Origin> With two sets of Erevis, Megumis, and Xanatos
<DeathStar> <Origin> Which one do you want?
<Seraphna> **Jaime's eyes go cross** Both I guess? If there's two that means either one could be loose or not?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...well, that explains a lot."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Agh... how am I supposed to fix this...?"
<DeathStar> <Origin> Set 1 was created when Cheryl went back in time to defeat Xevil. Erevis, Xanatos, and Megumi's future on the PAX was cut short
<DeathStar> <Origin> Due to this action, and was put into it's own loop format while a new timeline emerged
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...oh... so that's why..."
<DeathStar> <Origin> The second loop was when Erevis, Megumi, and Xanatos went back in time to redo it all over again. This one really likes loops.
<Seraphna> Jaime> My mother is big on time loops.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "i'm not even going to voice my thoughts... you have made clear that it has become cliche."
<DeathStar> <Origin> Currently --- both loops are continuing with no deviantions
<Seraphna> Kaelan> How annoying.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So she's in both...?
<DeathStar> <Origin> The loops are not broken
<DeathStar> <Origin> Did you want to break one?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is this because of... the requirements?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Thank you, Kaelan."
<DeathStar> *Adeline rubs chin, tapping her folders in her hand*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I don't wish to break one, I just wish to confirm whether or not the woman at my palace is my mother or not...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The loops interact, don't they?"
<DeathStar> <Origin> No. They are decades apart.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We got what we wanted. Lets head back. I got a little more research to do
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thanks, Lavenza - Origin. Whatever
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Just more questions than answers."
<DeathStar> *she steps onto the shuttle* <Ren> It's how it always is
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I've got a few good answers anyway."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright, when we get back, we'll run through who it could be since they have to be related or someone using her body
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Everyone ready to go?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I will spank that Discount one day.
<DeathStar> *Origin hands Jaime something before they go, then heads off to return to the Academy*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "After all, time continued to pass outside the Erevis loops..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks a bit, looking**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *boards the shuttle* "Mmmmmm...yes, let's return."
<DeathStar> *it seems to be Lavenza's number if she changes her mind on the breaking*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Club room
<DeathStar> *Ren is resting on the couch while Taiga is eyeing the info* <Taiga> I think we should take a break for a bit then see what we can do
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If we contront Erevis with a mindset after today we could blunder. So go rest
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...confront her with what? We already know that the time loops can multiply."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If Erevis is in the loop, then she can't be out of the loop
<DeathStar> <Taiga> At least, not out of the second one
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If you pull her out of that second one, you know what would happen?
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Time would start to break again.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Right
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And the first?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have no idea actually; it was made due to Cheryl going back in time to defeat Xevil
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Back on the Centerpoint station
<Seraphna> Jaime> We could all end up Lizard People.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have no idea what would happen if you tried to grab that Erevis
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And what if there is a third loop somewhere that is misisng its Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The fact is
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I didn't even know the Centerpoint one was a time loop at all."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I been studying things - hyperspace energy, Erevis', etc
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If we can get Erevis to use her hyperspace power so I can study her signature, that will answer all our questions
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If it matches, done
<Seraphna> Jaime> The thing bothering me is what you all found at Mother's Temple.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...and how are we to do that without angering her first?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Her pod having energy running it in though being empty. And... the contained unit.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Something about this timeline of events doesn't match up.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...yeah."
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs into a fox and kneads on Charlotte's chest*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Imagine that someone needed to be from the timeline where Cheryl defeated Xevil at Centerpoint..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You are probably right; something might break
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So we'll have to figure it out ourselves
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...what if this erevis is from the future and we are in yet another time loop?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If it is, then in your words....annoying
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yes it would be very Noire.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So all we can do is verify if she is Erevis or if she is not. If she is a fake, or not. Or if she is something ele
<Seraphna> Jaime> And regardless of which, the next most important thing to learn is her motives.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So how will we go about manipulating her into using her hyperspace abilities?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> She is capable of using generic hyperspace signatures, so if we want to see the real deal
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We have to get her to do it without thinking - attack or make her use it in defense
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...and you propose doing that...how?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, I'm not doing that."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> No. Taiga is right, we need to rest before even thinking of angering a Progenitor and I'd like to have something finished first
<DeathStar> <Adeline> As .. protection
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm....then meeting adjourned."
<DeathStar> *Taiga rises*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm so tired. *she slumps bcak into her hair*
<DeathStar> *Ren yelps for food*
<Seraphna> Jaime> And yeah... I just tangoed with a super time spirit.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Even though I have my own means of neutralizing the progenitors... I need rest to do that too.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Until next time then." *stands*
<DeathStar> *Adeline exits and Ren rides on Charlotte's chest*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *goes her own way*
<Seraphna> *Jaime follows her wife**
