<DeathStar> Date: 4.14.5992 - nearly a month after the 2 session opening
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> 6* The Academy has been a lot of building being built up, the team has been being busy teaching classes if that is what is what they are into, as well as Grad Classes are being offered now to further their own education. Vyvy is just a day or two away from exploding it seems with yet another spirit baby. And things seem calm. They are using the compass to find the shards, gathering them at the Headmistress office, and all seems to be peaceful
<DeathStar> 6* Qui and Gwen spar with each other in the courtyard
<Seraphna> * Alita has been both teaching and taking grad classes, this is pretty much paradise to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Both of them topless and using real weapons as they try to get the upperhand
<Seraphna> * Talia has been teaching Gwen to be a strong teacher in teaching battles.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon sits near by the sparring, reading from a book, having also been teaching and taking grad classes.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia has been teaching pretty exclusively, not wanting to do too much that's strenuous since she's pregnant
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel has been doing both some teaching as well as a few of the grad classes, though he currently stands near the sparring siblings*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *is doing paperwork in her office*
<Sara> * Liana is absent; having departed for the castle for now
<DeathStar> *Chronos grabs Simon* Hey you
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances up occassionally, judging Gwen and Qui's form. He pauses and glances to Chronis.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes, my lady?
<Xanatos> (Chronos)
<DeathStar> <Chronos> You all are looking for answers and whatnot. *Rain lately hasn't been around that much.
<Seraphna> * Alita finishes another class on mages, her current study mostly on Summoning though. She yawns as she gathers her papers.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes, for a few things.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *picks up a small bell from her dfesk and rings it*
<DeathStar> *Kito shows up*
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Well, back in my time, there was a book that would answer your questions.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon perks up
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Kito, has Rain been about?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> A book?
<DeathStar> <Kito> Not lately. She shows up a few days, then vanishes a few days. Mostly at night
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel glances to Chronos* That sounds like something you would want to keep track of...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...I wonder what she is about... but anywya, how is delgi doing?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> How exactly does it...answer?
<DeathStar> <Kito> Recovered
<DeathStar> <Chronos> I don't know. I never used the damn thing. Supposedly though you had to pass it's tests and it answered a limited number of questions. Many didn't seek it out since you had to be a smart scholar to find it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ah, excellent." *stands up* "Yime for soem face time, I think."
<DeathStar> <Chronos> So you want to talk to the headmistress and try to find it?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes, yes I'll go mention it. Though, do you have an idea of where to begin the search?
<Seraphna> * Alita finds Mykel and the others and leans against him.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> *muses* I would check the Spiritalists archives
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia walks out after her class is done, heading for her sisterwife and husband
<DeathStar> *Gwen and Qui flops over nearby*
<DeathStar> *Delgi is busy tinkering in a room, stacking things*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you, lady Chronos. I will do just that. 6* He stands and quickly moves off, a fair bit of excitement to his movements.
<DeathStar> 6* From the forest, nymphs come running out* Vyvy exploded and popped out a tiny kid!
<DeathStar> <Chronos> ... *she whistles and heads the opposite way*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *leaves her office to do her rounds of the campus*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Sasha, a word? 6* He approaches as she steps out of the building her office is in.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Another one?"
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Another one what, love?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...walk with me." *starts walking*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon turns in step with her.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "What is on your mind?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Lady Chronos has brought to my attention an anchient book from her time. Supposedly it would answer questions when asked. If we sought it out, it could perhaps lead us to more discovery either by understanding more of our reality, or more of what seperates Kumen and Geyze. I believe it's something worth pursuing.
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy sents nymphs out to hunt Chronos and harass her.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Vyvy and her kids."
<DeathStar> *Chronos is captured and dragged away*
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Oh.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Is this all you know?"
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> You know as the supposed sex maniac in the group I have far less evidence of how much I have it than she does.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Mostly, she believes that additional information on it may be in the spiritualists archive.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I need more information before I can authorize an expedition. See if you cna arrange access to the archives with the spiritualist representative here at the Academy."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm. Fair enough. 6* He eyes her for a moment then steps away to find the representative.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Hmmmm..." *watches him leave and then turns to walk and inspect the classes*
<Seraphna> * Alita muses, moving to join Simon. Joining forces to use her bookworm powers to help.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia does so as well, not having a class to teach at the moment
<DeathStar> *Kalam would be in the Spiritalist building*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Kalam, a moment?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> *she nods, one of the nymphs with her. They seem close and Kalam nods, nodding the nymph to head into the back. It seems the nymph is part of the spiritalists now*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> How can I help you, Simon?
<Seraphna> * Alita stays quiet and lets Simon do the talking.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Perhaps you would either have the information I seek, or allow access to the archives. Lady Chronos mentioned a book, if one pasts certain tests the book would then answer questions that are asked to it.
<DeathStar> *Kalam muses, thinking* We might have it. The Spiritalists collected a lot of what remained from the old Magi libraries that survived their destructions. You are welcome to explore them. I will send word to explore and search the magical store rooms. I would bring the others with you. And have Sasha's familiar with you. She might can sense it
<Seraphna> Alita> "Ohn yes... Talia!"
<Seraphna> * Talia poofs to Alita and paws.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Perhaps Talia can help too.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Talia might can help but she isn't as old Delgi. But every hand can help. *she hands Simon a key from her keychan*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows his head
<Seraphna> Talia> "Talia like... one or two?"
<Seraphna> Talia> "Talia need calendar."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you. I'll see if I can find Delgi while you three begin looking. 6* He hands the key to Alita and moves to go recruit delgi for their cause.
<DeathStar> 6* Qui, dressed now, waits outside Kalam's room. Shade has the babies and young children taken care of incase Vyvy wants to advanture
<DeathStar> *alerting her to the quest*
<Seraphna> * Alita nods and moves to get started.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia goes to help her twin
<Xanatos> 6* Simon calls out for Delgi as he walks, moving towards the headmistress building.
<DeathStar> *Delgi peers out the headmistress building, holding some of Sasha's unmentionables, including a sexy silk outfit that goes see through in certain lights* Yes? Did I hear my name?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Ahem. Yes. When you have a moment, would you be able to assist me? I'm looking for some information in the spiritialist archive and Kalam suggested you may be able to sense it easier.
<DeathStar> *Qui and Gwen walk with Simon*
<Seraphna> * Alita has Talia start sniffing out the book while she reviews the organization of the collection.
<DeathStar> *Delgi nods and puts the laundry up, then leaps out the window, landing by them* If my mistress wishes me to assistant you, I am yours
<Sara> * Ellie emerges from who-knows-where, her clothes a little out of sorts, and casually falls into step with the others as if she was there all along
<Xanatos> <Simon> Excellent! Thank you. 6* He turns and moves back to the archives at almost double speed.
<DeathStar> <Delgi> Shall we use the magic transport to the Hapian Castle and from there to the spiritalist?
<DeathStar> <Delgi> Otherwise it will be weeks
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy holds the youngest all bundled up, looking a little on the tired side, but was curious since it involves the older magi books and artifacts. She chats up Kalam about the nymph that was there earlier.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses.
<DeathStar> *Kalam smiles, talking about the ex-priestess of Shade that is her assistant now*
<Seraphna> * Alita peers up. "I suppose that could work... they're still working?"
<DeathStar> *Delgi heads for the magic transport tower* It is how Queen Celes comes
<Xanatos> <Simon> I...yes, let's gather everyone. Sorry, in my rush I almost forgot proper protocol. 6* he moves back towards Sasha
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Seems it.
<Seraphna> * Alita shrugs and follows, Talia hopping on her shoulder.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia follows, wrapping an arm around Alita's waist
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps out of the classroom building, reviwing some notes*
<DeathStar> *Gwen goes with Simon, while Qui waits at the magic transport with Delgi*
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Shimia seems happpy." She smirks at Kalam.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Yes. *she huffs* I might propose to her some day soon.
<DeathStar> *Sylph rides on Ellie's head*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Ah, Lady Sasha. I spoke with Kalam who gave us the key to the archive and suggested that Delgi may be able to assist us in finding the text easier. Could I gather those that would like to go and make a trip to the spirtialist archives?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Did you pack all your warm stuff?
<Sara> <Ellie> Um... Maybe. I always keep a couple things just in case, besides
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...with Delgi?" *tilts her head to the side*
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Ohh! Exciting. I look forward to it and both your blushing faces.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes. Being a familiar, and an experienced one at that. Finding the information may come easier to her(him?whatever).
<DeathStar> *Delgi taps her hand, while Gwen studies Ellie, musing and leaning forward* Hmmm. Hi!
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...come with me." *walks back to her office*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Good. Good.
<Sara> * Ellie tilts her head slightly, blinking.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon walks after her.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *he smiles* How are you doing lately?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps into her office and rings her bell*
<DeathStar> *Kito shows up, sweeping*
<Xanatos> <Simon> I...apologize but I already spoke with Delgi who is fine with going as long as you allow it. I got ahead of myself and almost overstepped my bounds.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Kito, pack up warmly. We're going on a quick jaunt to the Spiritualist archives."
<Sara> <Ellie> ... I think I'm okay
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks
<Xanatos> <Simon> You are coming?
<DeathStar> <Kito> Ah. Yes. That place. *shivers* Always an adventure at that place *she heads out and 2 minutes later is bundled up*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Delgi is still mending, so she is my responsibility."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes, of course. 6* He bows his head.
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods and sits by Ellie, chatting and perhaps flirting. Sylph narrows her eyes*
<DeathStar> *Kalam walks with Vyvy to the magical transport place*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Yeah. We'll see
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I will meet you at the transport tower." *heads to her private rooms*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...besides...I want to see if that old archivist has moved an ince since the last time I was there."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Understood. 6* He turns and quickly moves off.
<Seraphna> * Alita hums, reading a novel while they wait.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Spiritalist Compound
<DeathStar> 6* The frozen compound has been repaired and rennovated a bit since the battle. There is new towers being built and magical towers of flame to keep the area warm and soldiers
<DeathStar> 6* There is also more entertainment built to make it less drearier. The magical transport now dumps them inside near the middle of the complex
<Seraphna> Alita> Well this is looking better finally.
<DeathStar> *Gwen looks around and Qui shivers a bit, wearing a coat for once. Delgi looks around quietly*
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Still needs a few curtains, maybe a throw rug...
<DeathStar> <Qui> I think you might insult Kalam if she came along
<DeathStar> *she notes* I myself would bring plants!
<DeathStar> <Qui> And trees
<DeathStar> <Qui> And grass
<Xanatos> <Simon> Let's see...Archive...archive. 6* He mumbles to himself, glancing around.
<Seraphna> Alita> I was remarking on an improvement... could use more study desks.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "This way, if I recall..." 8walks to where she rememebred the archives being*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> If I remember, it was downstairs, toward the basement area
<Sara> <Ellie> ...So this is the infamous spiritualist compound *she notes*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia nods to her twin
<Xanatos> <Simon> I spent most of my time out there. 6* He motions out where the fight happened, moving after Sasha.
<Sara> <Ellie> It's not as cold as I thought it would be here
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> The wards are helping that.
<DeathStar> *Gwen walks along with Ellie, heading that way. The stone walls are thick and huge and there seems to be magical materials to keep warmth in. As they arrive at the stairs, there is the outer archives they are allowed to browse, with shelves of walls all the way to the ceiling
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks to see if the old archivist is sitll about*
<DeathStar> *with ladders. A younger male archivist now is in charge, with a beard trying to grow. He reads eagerly, blonde hair*
<Seraphna> Alita> "Well... this should be fun."
<Xanatos> <Simon> This is the key that Kalam gave. 6* He holds it out to Sasha.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Since you are here I am sure you want to take the lead.
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> <10:1 this boy is a virgin>
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...perhaps he passed away. Pity... I never did determine if he was faking deafness." *takes the key* "Thank you."
<DeathStar> <Qui> I can ask this one what happened to him
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Be my guest." *looks abck at Simon* "Did Kalam say that this was the key to the inner archives or is it to another lock?"
<DeathStar> <Qui> YOUNG BOOKKEEPER, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR DEAF FORMER BOOK KEEPER
<DeathStar> *the young archivist falls backwards, scared shitless*
<Sara> * Ellie jerks at the sound
<Xanatos> <Simon> I believe it is to the older archive? But now that I think I don't believe she specified.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...Qui, he's not the deaf one!"
<DeathStar> *the young man stands up, rubbing his ears* What? *he eyes the key, taking it* Oh, you need help getting into the sacred part of the library? This way, this way
<Sara> <Ellie> Sylphie, my ears are ringing
<DeathStar> *he walks and leads them through the huge library/storeroom. There is parts where there is armor/weapons that seem to be here to be sealed away. Who knows what they are but Alita/Ceilia and other magic users can feel dangerous magics from them*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *wobbles* Me to
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...no touching..." *walks along*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia looks over that way, eyeing them
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy stares, shocked, cradling the child closer hoping it didn't get spooked by Qui's outburst.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Interesting applications..."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> ... Lady Qui... you simply wished to do that, didn't you?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks back and forth quickly, in awe.
<DeathStar> <Young Man> As for the man I replaced, it said he was moved somewhere warmer. Or he read a forbidden book and was sucked in. Or maybe he died. We don't know. Some think the Mistress Kalam is making a new library somewhere and he is in charge of it. Me, I think it was the forbidden book
<DeathStar> <Qui> Hee hee
<DeathStar> *she looks sheepish*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...new library... need to look around campus then..."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> You've been couped up in court too much." She huffs at Qui.
<DeathStar> *Gwen walks as they soon reach large doors. The man unlocks it for them and hands the key back* The items here are very dangerous so becareful. Good luck
<DeathStar> *he walks back to the desk*
<DeathStar> <Qui> Aw.
<Seraphna> ALita> *rubs her hands together*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nods ans opens the doors, heading inside*
<Sara> <Ellie> ... It feels colder the deeper we go in
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Let's be sure not to forget Simon when we leave; he may become too engrossed.
<DeathStar> *there is twice as many books here, and more weapons and armor. A black dagger that gives off an eerie vibe. A cloak that seems to be making things invisible that it drapes over. (I wonder if anyone recognizes this). And more
<Xanatos> 6* Simon, almost as soon as Vyvy says that quickly moves off
<DeathStar> <Delgi> ... I am definitely feeling Magi relics here
<Seraphna> Alita> "Is that... a cloak of invisibility?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "No touching. We're here for a very specific purpose."
<DeathStar> *she eyes the cloak and other magical items. She nods at Alita at the cloak* But it has a curse on it.
<Seraphna> * Talia looks around. "Sooo much mana!"
<DeathStar> <Delgi> You have to resist being absorbed by it each time you put it on
<Seraphna> Alita> "Hrm... a curse huh?"
<DeathStar> <Delgi> If you can, none can see you. Well, some can. It is not fool proof
<Seraphna> Alita> "Interesting... and sounds familiar somehow."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Yeah...
<Xanatos> 6* Simon slides up by Delgi.
<DeathStar> *she follows out and searches for the magical book that Simon wants. Simon for his part seens all sorts of titles*
<Xanatos> <Simon> I see many things I want to read, but I remembered our reason for being here...
<DeathStar> *ancient titles that are hundreds, thousands years old. Old Magi titles, written in that time period. Books on making familiars, how to control them, how to make soulless, etc*
<Seraphna> * Alita brows the titles, tilting her head, she looks for guides on raisng and nurturing new familiars as Talia still needs training, while she searched for their goal of course.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *browses some of the titles herself*
<Seraphna> * Talia tails Delgi to help / learn.
<DeathStar> *there is a few here and there. Sasha would see a book on Hapian histor. Delgi soon pulls out a book: Truth/Riddles
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy finds herself lured by prospects of finding books on old spirits and their interactions with summoners, or otherwise close-related.
<DeathStar> <Delgi> There is large amounts of mana in this
<DeathStar> *she hands it to Simon and the others. Qui walks up to it*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...as tempting as much of this is... we should be wary."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon peers it over carefully.
<Seraphna> * Alita browses a few of the guides since it seems they found what they needed.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Excellent, thank you Delgi.
<Sara> * Ellie peers around at the things they are passing, but seems to have no interest in the books
<Xanatos> 6* Simon...opens to the first page.
<DeathStar> *Ellie would see in the back a sword; being a summoner, she would feel in it a sword full of spiritial energy/wind energy. And it seems to be a Legendary blade. It doesn't look dangerous and Sylph is eyeing it*
<DeathStar> *the first page is blank and a moment later, a voice speaks* "Seeker of Truth, what do you wish to know?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *runs a finger along the spine of the Hapian book* "Hmmm..."
<Sara> * Ellie glances at the sword suspiciously but then blinks and turns as she hears the unfamiliar voice
<Xanatos> <Simon> This is it. 6* he nods, then closes the book, seeing if it resists or anything.
<Seraphna> * Alita walks over, reading the guide on familars as she goes.
<DeathStar> *it closes*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Well then. I would like to spend more time here, but I believe our mission is a success for now. We'll then need to open and explore the book, does anyone have any pressing questions they want answered?
<Sara> <Ellie> Where's the bathroom?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...be sure you really want to know the answer before you ask it."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You sure closing it was a bad idea?
<DeathStar> *the book glows*
<DeathStar> <Qui> I hope that wasn't our three questions
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm. I...don't know. I was hoping it reset it or at least stopped the communication between man and book from happening.
<Seraphna> Alita> "I would assumne each individual gets three."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Never assume anything."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon openes it up again
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well, are we going to ask it here, or take it back to the school?
<Seraphna> Alita> "Well it would be weird to assume we all count as a single entity."
<Xanatos> <Simon> I will go now, at least.
<DeathStar> *the pages are blank still, then the voice speaks again* "Please do not close me again if you wish to have your questions answered. And as a group you came, as a group your questions will be answered"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks
<Xanatos> <Simon> My apologies, great book. May we deliberate between ourselves what questions we wish to ask?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...tch
<DeathStar> <Book> You may. *it sounds haughty*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon lets out a sigh, rubbing the bridge of his nose before glancing to the others.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "You have no idea what you want to aks, do you..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Heh. I don't either
<Xanatos> <Simon> I have many questions in my mind.
<Sara> * Ellie glances at Sylph
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy sulks having not found much until she's near Ellie, Sylph and the sword, pausing a moment.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *just looks innocent*
<Seraphna> Alita> "Perhaps we could carry it open and head back..."
<DeathStar> <Qui> Simon wanted to do this quest. What are your questions, Simon?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I would point out that the book is in the care of the spiritualists. Be sure we can carry it out."
<Xanatos> <Simon> How do we balance our world with that other wise. How do we power kumen tech on Geyze. What equates a perfect life. Why do I find physical intimacy revolting... 6* He continues to mumble.
<Xanatos> (other world)
<DeathStar> <Qui> *pauses* Well the first two can be useful. Um. I am not sure it CAN answer the third one
<Sara> <Ellie> That third question is subjective
<Sara> <Ellie> Perfection is in the eye of the one observing it
<Xanatos> <Simon> I confess they're much more selfish past the first two.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then ask the first two and the group decides the last."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows his head to Sasha.
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy holds out her moonflower blade next to the other sword, contemplating.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Great book. We have encountered beings from another world, another reality. We have noticed that the two worlds are in turmoil, as if one cannot exists without taking from the other. Is there anything we can do to achieve a balance and peace between them?
<DeathStar> *the two swords have a resonnance, thugh the moonflower is more suietd to Vyvy8
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Huh. Rending Gale.
<Seraphna> * Alita muses over a third.
<DeathStar> <Book> That is your final choice for your first question?
<Xanatos> <Simon> It is.
<DeathStar> *the room darkens*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia blinks, looking around
<Sara> * Ellie looks up
<Sara> <Ellie> Well that's ominous
<DeathStar> <Book> To prove your worthiness, you must answer 2 riddles correctly
<DeathStar> <Book> The first riddle:
<DeathStar> <Book> What language do people speak without saying a word outloud?
<Sara> <Ellie> Body language
<DeathStar> *before the room darkens, Vyvy would notice the resonnance seems to be more in tune with Ellie/Sylph*
<DeathStar> <Book> Correct.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks and nods to Ellie.
<DeathStar> <Book> I am the beginning of the end,
<DeathStar> and the end of time and space.
<DeathStar> I am essential to creation,
<DeathStar> and
<DeathStar> I surround every place.
<DeathStar> What am I?
<Seraphna> Alita> "I think I know this one..."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances to Alita and bows his head to her.
<Seraphna> Alita> "This is word play, the letter E."
<DeathStar> <Book> Correct
<Xanatos> <Simon> I'm glad you were with me, I fear riddles are not my strong suit.
<Xanatos> 6* He says to both Ellie and Alita.
<Seraphna> * Alita nods.
<DeathStar> *the room goes back to be normal lighting*
<DeathStar> <Book> The answer to your question now
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Ellie, Sylph.
<DeathStar> <Book> Yes. *he says to Simon* You can do something to achieve balance.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Yes? *she flutters to Vyvy, landing on her head*
<Xanatos> <Simon> .....
<DeathStar> <Book> Though a poorly worded question, I will continue
<Seraphna> Alita> "You asked if, not what."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I think you two should take this.
<Sara> <Ellie> But... they said all of the stuff in here was dangerous?
<Xanatos> <Simon> ....... 6* His face is red, embarassment, anger, maybe both.
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy nods, holding it out to Ellie. "I will speak of it to the keeper and Kalam. But it should be okay..."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> It speaks to me as Rending Gale, erm... a sibling of sorts to the Moonflower Tear that Shade gave to me.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *flips through the history book*
<DeathStar> <Book> One pathway is to try to balance the shards of realtiy but it is a poor pathway. Another is the child Kaori. And have her nuture her reality powetrs
<Sara> <Ellie> I'm not sure what you mean or what its name is but okay. *she blinks and takes the sword, looking at it somewhat confused but examining it. she glances at Sylph*
<DeathStar> <Book> She is the last of the reality wielders. Have others unlock the shards as you did with spirits and have them unlock their for causality. You all will need to unlock aspects of the three colors. Causality, the spirirs, and supernatural
<Seraphna> Alita> "The cute little fox girl? Hmm."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pulls his notepad out and hands it to Alita.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Please take notes for me.
<Seraphna> * Alita nods and jots it all down.
<DeathStar> <Book> You will also need to allow Destiny to bring back Yggdrasil. And turn his plans on it's head. And use it to bring the worlds together
<DeathStar> <Book> That is all I can say
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you, great book, for taking pity on my poorly worded question.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Mmmm.. I suspect it will expect you to learn better for the next question."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy blinks, then smiles at Ellie. "Ah.. I wasn't originally, either. I was just happy to have it gifted to me. It's simplest to think of them as a weapon, but as a fellow summoner, I think you'll find it more like a key or..." She muses. "A tuning fork?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods in agreement.
<Sara> <Ellie> I have never wielded a sword in my life. *she admits*
<DeathStar> *Sylph muses and hugs Vyvy. The sword in Ellie's hand, she feels her powers increase, wind powers increase. etc. She has gained her legendary weapon*
<Seraphna> * Alita peers at Ellie. "We could have Mykel or someone give you lessons."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> You might can change the weapon. Give it time and make it a bow
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> It may change forms if it senses your comfort with something else. This Moonflower Tear was given to me as a knife-- as I grew, so did it, eventually becoming this slender sword.
<DeathStar> *she nods* Like a Gladius. Have it fire wind shots
<Sara> <Ellie> We'll see what happens but we have to make it out of here without it backfiring on me and killing us all first. *she is suspicious of the danger*
<DeathStar> <Book> What is your next question?
<Xanatos> <Simon> The next question. Kumen tech does not work on Geyze. It would be a great boon for us to unlock the ability to power their technology. What do I need to do in order to get mana to power the kumen technology?
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy chuckles. "Your caution is admirable, but try not to worry yourself silly."
<DeathStar> *the room darkens*
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Sylph, you should help her. That 'tuning fork' Rending Gale is most tied to you, after all.
<DeathStar> <Book> 2 more riddles, for one more question
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I will. I feel stronger already myself
<DeathStar> <Book> What goes up and down but doesn't move?
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> If you want to learn, though, I would be glad to help you learn, Ell. But I suspect you have a more comfortable form it would liken to you.
<Sara> <Ellie> We'll see... but I very much appreciate the offer and will consider it
<Seraphna> * Alita frowns, thinking.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hmm...temperature? AH no wait, stairs.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Yes, stairs."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Well done, Simon."
<DeathStar> <Book> Many things could that be. That was one of many. Good job
<DeathStar> <Book>
<DeathStar> 4) Three doctors said that Robert was their brother.
<DeathStar> Robert said he had no brothers. Who is lying?
<Seraphna> * Alita grins. "None of them."
<Seraphna> Alita> "You don't have to be a man to be a doctor."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Eh? Ah....yes...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "M.... sisters."
<Seraphna> * Alita seems proud of this one, being a healer by trade as well as magical skill.
<Sara> <Ellie> Alas, some people who would say otherwise still exist in this day and age...
<DeathStar> <Book> Correct
<DeathStar> *the room goes back to normal*
<DeathStar> <Book> It is challengingly. Hapian is an example of combining spirit-tech.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Mmm-hmmm... its part of our powerbase."
<DeathStar> <Book> Slowly use spirit-tech, and over years, weed spirit-tech out more and more. As half-spirits are born
<DeathStar> <Book> Geyze will change
<DeathStar> <Book> The original spirits will not be here forever
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods, glancing to make sure Alita is still taking notes for him.
<DeathStar> <Book> Also, your first question ties into your second
<Sara> * Ellie slowly looks at Sylph
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Book> When you combine this world with the other, you will be it's playbook
<Seraphna> * Alita takes notes with ease, she is in her element.
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy frowns a little, but doesn't look surprised, holding the child she has closer.
<DeathStar> <Book> So you have many paths. If this world does not change, slowly weed out spirit-tech. As more half spirits are born, the more regular tech will work
<DeathStar> <Book> If you do combine with the other world, then tech will likely start working very soon
<DeathStar> <Book> It is the paths you all choose
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *looks all dizzy during this*
<Xanatos> <Simon> In it's playbook...subject to its rules? Combining worlds...hmm, there is a lot more to think about, I fear I have more questions. But you have allowed me to ask mine and assisted with the riddles. I gladly step aside for the last question.
<DeathStar> <Book> What is your third question?
<Seraphna> Alita> "I feel like our third question should gain us intel about our enemies, such as Destiny. He must still be moving and we are blind."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Discuss... who has questions to propose?"
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> In a way I feel you just answered that, Alita
<Seraphna> ALita> "We know he's moving, just not how and through whom. We know the Others are dealt with due to freeing the Jamie person."
<DeathStar> *sylph focues, making a bow for Ellie*
<Seraphna> Alita> "Also for consideration, we no longer have a means to directly communicate or cross to the other side."
<Xanatos> <Simon> We do need to understand Destiny's goals more if we are to subvert them with that Kaori girl. 6* he nods.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "C'en, not Others."
<Seraphna> Alita> "Which we will need to find Kaori."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Sounds like it is decided then, unless anyone has any objections."
<Sara> * Ellie pats Sylph on the head. "Sylphie, don't worry about that right now. We'll figure it out."
<DeathStar> *Sylph nods* Oookay. *she sits on her head*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Alita, please ask as it is your question."
<DeathStar> (Yes please ask, 10 mins oveR)
<Seraphna> ALita> "Which one specifically, Destiny's movements?"
<Seraphna> (confusion since I brought up two)
<Xanatos> (destiny one I think, though the communication one is pretty important too)
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns a page in the history book* "Work it out."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I merely suspect that since we thwarted him once, as we may wish to know about him, he may wish to know more about us.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> It's possible we're being observed
<Seraphna> Alita> "What are Destiny's plans now and how is he bringing them about?"
<DeathStar> *the room super darkens*
<DeathStar> *with rumbling*
<Seraphna> Alita> "...Did I go overboard?"
<DeathStar> <Book> That is a dangerous question. I will need three riddles. There are no more back up riddles. You must answer all correctly
<DeathStar> <Book> Are you certain on this question?
<Seraphna> * Alita looks at the others.
<Sara> * Ellie tilts head, not very good at this whole saving the world stuff
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...it is important. It could change the outcome for us completely.
<DeathStar> *Sylph hugs on Ellie. She's saved the world a lot*
<DeathStar> <Book> Very well. Riddle 1
<DeathStar> <Book> 5) What occurs once in a minute, twice in moment and
<DeathStar> never in a thousand years?
<Sara> <Ellie> The letter 'M'
<Seraphna> * Alita nods.
<DeathStar> <Book> Correct
<DeathStar> <Book> I have seas with no water, coasts with no sand, towns
<DeathStar> without people, and mountains without land.
<DeathStar> What am I?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon deadpans, mumbling to himself about how much he hates riddles.
<Sara> * Ellie's eyes go crossed
<Seraphna> Alita> "A map."
<DeathStar> <Book> Correct
<Seraphna> Alita> "I like this book, very literal."
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...ah, that makes sense. 6* he nods, understanding this one
<DeathStar> <Book> What always runs, but never walks, often murmurs,
<DeathStar> never talks, has a bed, but never sleeps, has a mouth,
<DeathStar> but never eats?
<Sara> <Ellie> A river
<DeathStar> <Book> Correct
<Seraphna> Alita> "She's good."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Though I feel inadequate, I am at least happy that you two are here. Else I would have surely failed and been sucked into this book...or worse.
<DeathStar> *the room clears up but only slightly this time
<DeathStar> <Book> Destiny and Fate are hard to follow. They both have their hands on matters.
<DeathStar> <Book> Destiny attempting to steer events subtlely that will lead you either to fail so he won, or leading to his tree. Fate directing to defeating him. Sometimes directly putting players on the field to aid you, or hinder you in other directions that might lead you to him in other ways
<DeathStar> <Book> Destiny now is growing stronger than when you last fought him but is not willing to face you directly. He is counting on you all to hang yourselves. After the last battle, none of you have gotten this far. You are in new uncharted waters.
<Sara> * Ellie scoffs, finding some bitter irony in this version of herself being the one to make it this far
<Seraphna> Alita> "Which means he is in uncharted waters too. He can't plan based on previous actions now."
<DeathStar> <Book> He must use your last outing and use mistakes you made. Relics or items, he will send against you, or allow to strike at you. He does not need you like he did last time for the tree. He has agents to make Yggdrasil. He is striking both teams.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...he likely has a larger picture of the gameboard..."
<DeathStar> <Book> He only needs a little more time, and a few more pulls from outside causality forces in favor to plahnt the seeds
<Seraphna> Alita> "So we have to target his agents... or not, the previous questions said we need to let him succeed to a point."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy blinks at Ellie, musing.
<DeathStar> <Book> He will not face you again until then
<Seraphna> * Alita keeps taking notes.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Now we have things to think on."
<DeathStar> <Book> What you must beware of are of are the outside causality disrupting things. Even the smallest items can send ripples. The other side must beware of it too
<Seraphna> Alita> "We'll have to take this to the others. Form a plan of action and focus. In fact, I think if we focus it may draw Fate to either intervene or aid us."
<DeathStar> *the book goes back to being blank and the world normal*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> .... well. Seems it's done
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Should not necessarily assume that Fate is our ally... just that we have a common enemy."
<Sara> <Ellie> Well... that didn't tell us -where- our enemy is
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you, great book. 6* he murmurs, then places it back on the shelf.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Old saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Must be outside our reach for now then
<Seraphna> * Alita hands over the notes, seems she's the one everyone wanted to copy off in class because somehow it has detailed sketches and logic charts already started.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Now our next task...finding a way to communicate with the other side. 6* Simon takes the notes and offers his thanks.
<DeathStar> *from there, the team heads out with the information out*
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> *paws*
<DeathStar> All my riddles
<DeathStar> Beaten
* Jackieness curls around the DS
* DeathStar kneads
* Xanatos has left #DualSession181
