The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 74

<DeathStar> Date: 10.18.5990 CE
<DeathStar> Location: Naturalist Territory, the Grass/River Plains (more to come)
<DeathStar> 6* Shion, having detonated the Naturalists' main weapon supply, have started a fire that is spreading, having set several of the Naturalists on fire. Also, in the prisoner cage, one of the seemingly dead Naturalists is now standing up and staring at them. Meanwhile, the Daemons have vanished in the direction of a nearby river while all this is going on. The 300ish NAturalists are in a panic, the attention drawn to the explosion and their comrades on fire
<AquaKoala> *Little drops from the trees and rushes to free the gods
<Seraphna> <Cookie> *through her Team Coordination* <This is bad... Death seems to be taking the dead ones!>
<AquaKoala> (Spirits sorry)
<Seraphna> Cookie> "The Daemons took the spirits Little."
<AquaKoala> *Little stays in the trees
<Seraphna> * Cokie whispers, from on her back.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion backs away from the cage as the Naturalists point at her, not having spotted the others yet
<DeathStar> <Naturalists> Get her!
<DeathStar> 6* Shion turns and runs for it as they give chase
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *keeps her voice low* "We will need to get to the daemon realm to warn them about the coup. Need to rescue shion first though.
<Sara> <Liana> *at a whisper* Yeah, we can't just let them get her...
<Seraphna> <Cookie> <We need to escape towards the river, can you lose them, Shion?>
<DeathStar> 6* The naturalists don't notice the prisoner decaying the bars and approaching them
<DeathStar> 6* Shion dashes into the swampish area to get away. Yuki peers around
<Seraphna> Cookie> <If those Naturalists die to the prisoners, we'll have a Death swelling here!>
* SuperKoala has joined #Duality
<Sara> ((Yuki is with the other group I thought))
<Seraphna> * Cookie frowns and forms her guns. She aims carefully and fires at one of the "un-dead" decaying the cage from her vantage point.
<DeathStar> 6* The naturalists, so used to using the Kumen weapons, gather just rocks and stuff to give chase into the swamp lands, many getting stuck comically as Shion glides along the swampy areas gracefully
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Take out the bodies. Shion seems to have this."
<DeathStar> 6* The many little spirits in the area begin to transform into death spirits and float into the undead prisoner, even as it's shot. It slowly begins to turn into Death
<DeathStar> 6* The Naturalists that remain behind peeru p int othe trees
* AquaKoala has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 192 seconds)
<Sara> <Liana> I don't think doing much of anything to the bodies is a good idea here...?
<DeathStar> 6* Kito peers down silently
<DeathStar> 6* The Naturalists begin to throw rocks up at them in the trees
<DeathStar> 6* Taking out limbs to drop them
<DeathStar> 6* Shion meanwhile merrily leads the majority of them along, still leaving a good number behind
* AquaKoala has joined #Duality
* SuperKoala has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> 6* Little falls toward a group of them with spears
<DeathStar> 6* While Liana falls toward gropey hands
<AquaKoala> *Littlw flails and transforms into a bear
<Seraphna> * Cookie fires down at the ground around them to try and scatter the spearholders.
<Sara> <Liana> Guh!? *tries to land safely in any case*
<DeathStar> 6* They scatter and Little crushes a few
<DeathStar> 6* While Liana is groped and grabbed
<DeathStar> 6* Sasha meanwhile is knocked down with Kito toward a fire
<Sara> * Liana pulls her sword out rather quickly and recklessly
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *leaps down at the gropered Liana*
<DeathStar> 6* Liana slashes and takes out a few people. Kito lands in the fire, becoming a cooked fox.
<DeathStar> <Kito> Yiiip!
<DeathStar> 6* She unleashes her limiters and leaps out, rolling
<AquaKoala> *Little rights herself and starts heading for the group, roaring
<DeathStar> 6* Shion stops as she notices the group following her is sinking in the swamp and heads back
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Don't kill them!"
<AquaKoala> *Little continues for Shion
<Seraphna> * Cookie holds onto Little, she grumbles and tries to track the death spirit.
<DeathStar> 6* Death finally forms, but at that moment, a new group arrives, led by a female weretiger and a Legionare
<DeathStar> 6* The Naturalists with them throw nets, trying to subdue the people here
<DeathStar> 6* Death moves, heading for the swamp to get those there since they are stuck. Shion catches up to Little, then jerks at seeing Death heading toward them
<Sara> <Liana> Don't mean to kill anyone... *she slashes air, not wanting to be caught in a net*
<DeathStar> 6* The new people avoid Liana, seemingly helping them.
<DeathStar> 6* Quickly subdueing the Naturalists left at the camp. The female weretiger and Legionare rounding them up and tying them up.
<Seraphna> Cookie> <We need to stop that Spirit, and it's heading towards the naturalists in the swamp.>
<AquaKoala> *Little scoops Shion onto her back with Cookie and heads for the new group
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns to look where death has gone*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Rescue operation, now."
<Seraphna> * Cookie points it out for the others through the Coordination.
<DeathStar> 6* Death floats and the Naturalists scream in panic. Sylph floats with the Weretiger and Legionare, then jerks at Death, and flies out there
<DeathStar> <Female Weretiger> *walks up to Sasha* What IS that?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *starts at a run toward the swamp*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "It's Death. It feeds and grows on dead things. It also makes dead things."
<AquaKoala> Little> IT'S DEATH RUN RUN AWAY
<DeathStar> 6* The friendly Naturalists stare
<DeathStar> 6* Death begins to touch victims, draining their life and growing stronger
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *stops* "Death has awakened by the war. It seeks to destroy Geyze."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Someone awakened the First Spirit and it's broken. It's consuming everything."
<DeathStar> <Female Weretiger> Brother said living here was crazy. Live at his club he said
<DeathStar> <Female Weretiger> I got responsibilities here I said.
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks. "Is that... a Tiger man named Max?"
<DeathStar> <Female Weretiger> Yes. I'm Helen
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We need to get those Natuarlists out of there before it consumes them... if its not already too late."
<Sara> <Liana> There's no time for that! We have to get out of here, something!
<AquaKoala> *Little shifts back, looking anxious
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Oh neat. Now let's find a way to hold that thing back."
<DeathStar> <Helen> Alright, lets get them out. Grab and run people. *She orders the first group to rescue them, and turns to the younger Legionare*
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers, trying to see if it has a center like last time.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And if you see Death, don't let it touch you!"
<DeathStar> <Helen> Hapes, cn you lead a group out there? Miyuki owes us
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes nods, looking ill at doing this, wearing glasses and orders people out there to move fast.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns and resumes back toward the swamp*
<DeathStar> 6* Shion moves out, dnacing and trying ot grab people up. Death moves, touching and growing
<Seraphna> Cookie> "We should help him." *she moves out to help*
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph blasts Death, jerking it and making it turn toward her. It begins to form it's scythe and slashes at her
<DeathStar> <Kito> *rubsd her burnt tail, then rushes out and grabs people since Sasha is doing so*
<AquaKoala> *Little rapidly firea her rockets at Death
<Sara> * Liana helps out with the rescue efforts, as best she can
<Seraphna> * Cookie frowns and aims her gun at the scythe, firing to mess with the attack.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *lets herself get dirty and works to pull Naturalists loose*
<DeathStar> 6* Death jerks, knocked down
<DeathStar> 6* AFter a long hour, the group manages to get the goods, with only mild loses. Shion orders Sylph to warp them out of there
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Under the School in the Tunnels
<DeathStar> 6* Celes sits with Kitty on a strange human shaped rock, going over the various reading materials that Isis gave her to learn about the Geyze culture to help her with the negotiations on the refugees once the crisis is over
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia sticks by Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Celes> My mother will be most difficult but she would be able to hold a lot with her spirit dimensions. *she watches the Temmies dance about in the tunnel*
<Chain> 6*Kitty scratches her head a little
* SuperKoala has joined #Duality
<Chain> <Kitty> how difficult are we talking here
<Stretch> 6Mykel sits nearby using a whetstone to sharpen his sword, waiting for the moment.
* AquaKoala has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> <Celes> My mother is a bitch among bitches
<Chain> <Kitty> how'd she wrestle that crown from Miyu
<DeathStar> 6* The human shaped rock shakes a bit, a crack appearing it. In fact it looks more like a cacoon
<DeathStar> <Celes> She's always been the Empress here.
<Chain> 6*Kitty lowers her gaze
<DeathStar> 6* Isis keeps receiving gifts from the temmies while working on making the students comfortable
<Chain> <Kitty> keep it up and I'll go in there and give you something to squirm about
<Stretch> 6Mykel pauses in his sharpening, glancing at the rock-coccoon.14 "Princess, you may want to move..."
<DeathStar> 6* Celes peers down. The cacoon cracks more, revealing Vyvy. Seems Qui wrapped her up in some strange caccoon of healing for some odd reason instead of just ressurecting her
<DeathStar> <Celes> Aiee!?
<DeathStar> 6* She leaps up
<Chain> 6*The temmies cower behind their red haired goddess
<Chain> <Kitty> uhhhhh
<DeathStar> 6* The entire cacoon shatters and Kitty ends up on Vyvy tits
<Chain> <Kitty> is this how...you make babies here
<DeathStar> <Celes> N-No
<DeathStar> 6* Celes stands behind Mykel
<DeathStar> 6* Isis pets them, comforting them
<Chain> 6*Kitty taps Vyvy with the tip of her boot
<DeathStar> <Celes> Is Qui some sort of spider?!
<Chain> 6*Miyuki shudders at the thought
<Chain> <Kitty> rise and shine
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, Shion and the rest appear in the tunnels from Sylph, who looks weak, some dark spots on her from wounds. They also have Hapes Guyus with them, as well as Helen and good Naturalists
<DeathStar> <Shion> Coming through
<kalonZombie> 6*Eiji moves over to help herd everyone
<Chain> 6*Kitty checks to see if Vyvy is even breathing
<DeathStar> 6* She is - peacefully, likely in sleepy mode after being cacooned
<SuperKoala> *Little flails and falls onto the ground
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Sylph requires aid."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "We destroyed the weapons cache but... Death showed up in the body of a dead prisoner."
<Seraphna> * Cookie pats Little.
<Sara> <Liana> It... wasn't pretty.
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy hands snaps quickly to grasp Kitty's rest tightly, then loosens as she frowns.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Also, we have warning about a coup in the daemon realms."
<Mukurokuma> rest~wrist
<Chain> <Kitty> did you at least burn the body? wait scratch that you wouldnt be running away if you did
<Stretch> 6Mykel shakes his head in bewilderment at the coming of Vyvy from the coccoon, before looking over towards Shion and her group. Sheathing his sword he stands and moves to assist them
<Chain> 6*Kitty looks down at Vyvy
<DeathStar> <Shion> Mother isn't back yet I see...that means they are still up north dealing with the Amazons...
<Chain> <Kitty> hello to you too sweetheart
<DeathStar> <Shion> Which means we should deal with the Legion...
<Seraphna> Cookie>
<Sara> <Liana> ... What happened here? I... *she looks surprised at Vyvy*
<DeathStar> 6* Shion sits, exhausted
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes raises his gaze at that, then lowers it. Helen peers at him silently
<Seraphna> Cookie> "We'd... probably better get to the Demon Land place and save those spirits then. And this Empress lady."
<Chain> 6*Temmies comfort Shion
<DeathStar> 6* Shion pets them
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy slowly opens her eyes, the one feral red as it's uncovered now, but she looks culled for a moment gazing at Kitty, then winces. She looks around, feeling with her hands about for her belongings, more specifically the blade she always carries.
<Stretch> 6Mykel looks to Cookie then Shion, 14"The Empress? What about her?
<DeathStar> 6* They are all there with her
<DeathStar> <Shion> They think they overheard a plot against her. But there are a lot of Empresses out there
<SuperKoala> Little> Why didn't I just stay a normal engineer ;A;
<Chain> 6*the Temmies swarm with Temmie flakes and other items of food and such
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Some demons with were the naturalists, they took some younger spirits that looked special off while a young blue demon girl was talking about overthrowing her sister. All evil like."
<DeathStar> 6* Shion thanks them, chewing. Sylph sits and eats, tired.
<SuperKoala> *Little eats for therapy
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Didn't Fufufufu though."
<Sara> * Liana peers around, confused at all the Temmies. She feels like her head is spinning in confusion
<Chain> 6*Temmies stuff Vyvy with life nurishing Temmie flakes
<Seraphna> Cookie> "How many demon empresses?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> Right now there's a war going on up north. The Kaiser elections will be over soon, and then they will move against the Amazons again. Itwill take a while for them to get near the Daemon territory by boat
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And since my aunt does not have a daemon sister... it stands to reason that she was talking about the daemon empress."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Legion first
<DeathStar> <Shion> The reason I can guarentee the Kaiser Elections will be over is only one person is running
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy jerks at Temmie, gently pushing her back as she frantically feels for the moonflower blade
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "You are certain they are moving by boat, Shion?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> "One person? Isn't there anyone other than one person who could run?"
<Stretch> 6Mykel looks between the new faces before looking to Shion, 14"I would agree with you on that ma'am."
<DeathStar> <Shion> I saw something in the river
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then we do have time. Very well, we shall have to deal with the Legion while we have the chance."
<Sara> * Liana takes a breath, moving over to Celes' side
<DeathStar> 6* Shion glances at Eiji
<kalonZombie> <Eiji> I'll go check it out S...hion.
<Stretch> Mykel> 14"And yes, there is at least one other who can vie for the position."
<kalonZombie> 6*And like a shadow, he's gone
<DeathStar> <Shion> We have a Daemon Tamae here. We can always let them know
<DeathStar> <Shion> Of our worry
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Who's that?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> A student
<DeathStar> 6* Celes hugs Liana
<Seraphna> Cookie> "A student can run for Legion commanderwhowhatsis?"
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy grasps the sheathed sword and holds it to herself, her face scrunched up terribly before she starts to audibly sob
<Chain> <Kitty> uh...guyes? youre cacoon friend is crying
<DeathStar> <Shion> We'll head north after we're done here. *She pats Vyvy's head comfortingly. Sylph gives her pets too*
<Sara> * Liana smiles a little at Celes, before looking at Vyvy and her face changing to one of concern
<Stretch> Mykel> 14"The younger brother..."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 10.19.5990 CE
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* After getting the shuttle fixed up and the Aquarius repaired again after the explosion, Asarar seems hellbent on using a shuttle to get back home to save Ylva and the others. As she sits in the shuttle, letting the others get things finished in the ship, having Chelsea in engineering and Otto on the bridge doing last minute checks, Chelsea would see in engineering, by pure coincidence a signal coming in that the ship is getting a transmission since she is doing work on it
<DeathStar> 6* It appears nowhere else on any other station ,even the bridge, and seems to be coming beeming to floor 14, Room 4
<DeathStar> *beaming
<Seraphna> * Luci is getting ready to kick ass on the surface, psyching up. And reminding herself that if Max got arrested she will have to eat Posco. She might actually eat Posco anyway. With lots of salt.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We'll be leaving in about 5 minutes, everyone. *she sells through the comm*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Huh? ... Hey, can you guys handle things here? *she says to the Engineers* Thanks. *she heads to the room directly to see what's going on*
<DeathStar> 6* As Chelsea approaches the room, she would hear Kira's voice talking to another female
<Sara> * Chelsea, with her superior aurit hearing, eavesdrops
<Chain> 6*Wolfe finishes dressing his reds and moves to meet with Asarar
<Seraphna> * Luci helps prep the shuttle. "Thought, bosslady, should we ask CorSec for help busting them out? I think they owe us now."
<DeathStar> <Sen> Kira, I need you try to convince Asarar and the others to detour and deal with the Corporations. They are trying to spin the incident yesterday that rogue Biotects stole an unfinished prototype ship to attack the Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Sen> And lined it with explosives. They are likely angling that we are not effective enough to protect the city anymore
<DeathStar> <Sen> We picked up an agent that will see to the group's friends and we believe one of them was fighting and not taken
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Of course, they did. What about their friends? They are working half-cocked on emotions, not seeing the big picture."
<Sara> * Chelsea tries to look busy as she listens from outside the room, frowning a bit
<DeathStar> <Sen> Posco is still trying to break into the upper floors - someone is keeping him out so far. And the rest are at the facility run by those crazies. Our new investigative agent will try to get in with the help of their Max
<Jackieness> <Kira> "How much can I tell them?"
<DeathStar> <Sen> Our fear is that the three Corporations may try to do a coup, or do something else. We could use you planetside. It's up to you if you want to reveal about your true self. Have you decided if you're going to stay or go back to being 'her'?
<Seraphna> * Luci stretches. "When I get in range, I can try and reach Max and get some intel on what's happened. Gonna eat Posco."
<Sara> * Chelsea narrows her eyes a bit as she hears that last part
<DeathStar> 6* Sen uploads the locations she fears the coup might actually happen on Kumen
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hey Wolfe
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I haven't decided yet. I'm not even sure which me is me anymore. Not relevant to the mission right now anyway."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *peers at Luci* Can't hurt I guess. We'll try once we're in range
<DeathStar> <Sen> Alright. closing link in case anyone picks up on it. Sen out
<Sara> * Chelsea decides she's heard enough and moves to head to meet Asarar before Kira moves
<Chain> 6*Wolfe nods petting Bonnie and Riki
<Seraphna> Luci> "Never heard of anything that could intercept a bond message before. So it's our best bet at secrecy."
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie leans into it, as does Riki, wagging, holding a super death ray 5950
<DeathStar> 6* R5 rolls around, talking about being alive
<Jackieness> <Kira> *cuts off the terminal and leaves the room to meet with the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods to Chelsea as she arrives
<Seraphna> Luci> "Even Psions can't peek in."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hey, Kitty Cat. You just barely made it
<Chain> <Wolfe> ok remember girls we dont want Posco dead, we need him to answer to everyone
<Sara> * Chelsea gives a half-hearted smile, absorbing. "Where's Kira?"
<Sara> * She asks even though she knows
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Running a bit late like you
<Seraphna> * Luci pouts. "But I wanna eaaaat him. In the non-sexual, digestive act way."
<Sara> <Chelsea> S-Sorry!
<Chain> <Wolfe> Can that wait till after we get infomation from him
<Seraphna> Luci> "Maybe I can just take his legs? He can't run away then."
<Sara> * Chelsea sits by Bonnie
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *eyes them all wanting to eat Posco, shuddering and just waits until Kira is on and flies ahead*
<Chain> <Wolfe> if I give you a leg then Bonnie will want his eyes and it gets messy and complicated
<Chain> <Wolfe> so no eating
<Seraphna> Luci> "So what's the plan anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Fly for the club, kick their asses
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Then head to the Psyco Building and rescue the others
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar flies along toward Kumen
<Jackieness> <Kira> *steps aboard* "Before we launch, CoreSec sent me a message. There is some activity going on that may be signs of the corporate coup. If we work this misison for them, they have already started an operation to crack the psycho cops and get out people out."
<Seraphna> Luci> "I like, I like, but haven't we determined that the Pyscho Building is protected by some serious hardware? I'm thinking we could use CorSec's help. We did save their---"
<Seraphna> * Pauses and listens to Kira.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers at Kira
<Sara> * Chelsea glances at Kira, subtly
<Seraphna> Luci> "...Well she was on my line of thinking."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That's a bit out of our way of work
<Seraphna> Luci> "Getting CorSec's help is the realistic way we get our friends back.?"
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I gave them my business card before the tour, remember? Anyway, Max is still out there so they are trying to work with him. Upper floors are still secure."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers ahead, frowning
<Seraphna> Luci> "Good, the doofus is safe."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, lets do it. We can't let Macross take over...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And if the 'bad guys' win, then the psycho cops will just show up again... this time with tanks and crap."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Look, I don't care what defenses they have. If they've got Ylva, or Ortora...
<Seraphna> Luci> "So who do we have to punch? It's still ass kicking."
<Sara> * Chelsea leaves her statement unfinished then the scene shifts either way
<DeathStar> 6* Sen stands before Kaylin, and the new agent recruit she got, Sao
<DeathStar> <Sen> Since you know the slums so well, Sao, you're going to be point on this. I need you to go to Quad 5 and find this guy. You will have access to his DataReader code to pinpoint him. *She holds up his image of Max* Then go to the club and clear it out. Then we need you to go to the Quad 5 Psyco Pass Building and retrieve their prisoners from the club that they took illegally.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> That's a pretty tall order given the state of things
<DeathStar> <Sen> If they refuse to recognize the CoreSector authority you have as an agent, Sao, you have the full power of the badge to free them however you see fit
<DeathStar> <Sen> I know. But most of our agents and forces are tied up elsewhere given the state of things
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Oh, well now it just sounds like fun
<DeathStar> 6* The dark haired maid stands there
<Stretch> 6Kaylin is standing in her tact-gear, her hands clasped behind her back; 12"So we have full combat capability if the circumstances call for it?"
<DeathStar> <Sen> Yes.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Just to be clear, all I have to do is verify that they won't tip their hat to CoreSec, aye?
<DeathStar> <Sen> Agents make their own calls on the field. So whatever Sao decides, her word is law.
<DeathStar> <Sen> Yes. As an Agent, you are able to do and make whatever agreements you wish out there. Um, what is the equivalent. An old west Sheriff on the Homeworld
<DeathStar> <Sen> You can even make deals with the Corporate Presidents if you so wished to get equipment and do jobs for them in return.
<DeathStar> <Sen> So, get whatever firepower you feel you need out there to get these people back
<Stretch> 6Kaylin nods, waiting for Sao to finish her questions; she has her orders: locate, search and rescue...by any means neccessary.
<DeathStar> 6* Sen checks her datareader, tracking the shuttle coming in
<DeathStar> <Sen> I leave it to you two
<DeathStar> -SCNE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Amazon Territory
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius sits beside Yuki, watching Qui train under Gweneve Yi, traiing in hand to hand Amazon combat
<DeathStar> 6* Qui sweats and looks exhausted, having been training since they arrive late yesterday afternoon.
<Sara> * Erica watches with some interest, sitting at Yuki's other side
<DeathStar> <Gweneve Yi> And once you attain leadership, what will you do, daughter? Throw us to the Legionare? Have us bow before men? <Qui> Hah... I want peace, I did not say I would bend knee...
<Seraphna> * Alita peers over a book,sitting by Yuki.
<DeathStar> <Gweneve Yi> Men always make you bend knee, child
<DeathStar> 6* She trips her daughter onto her back, hard
<Sara> <Erica> There are more positions than just that... *she mumbles*
<Seraphna> Alita> "If you apply the right touch they often beg you to make them bend over."
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> The Matrons will eat you up in combat.
<DeathStar> 6* Gweneve turns to face them, hard face. "Men raped and killed your mother, Qui. Did you know that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Qui sits up.
<Seraphna> * Alita slowly looks up and tries to make sense of Qui's mother saying that to Qui.
<DeathStar> <Gweneve Yi> She was a simple minded nymph. She wanted peace too. But the Legion is the Legion.
<Seraphna> * Alita gets it now and looks back down.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki watches quietly before she moves closer
<DeathStar> <Qui> Mother... there has to be an end sometime. Us. Them.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia sits, watching quietly
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *peers at Erica, hugging her*
<Chain> <Miyuki> sometimes however, bending the knee is the best way to get in close and deliver the killing blow
<Sara> * Erica hugs back
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Even if Qui beats the matrons, would her mother turn the crown over?
<Seraphna> Alita> "Violence only begets more violence."
<Sara> <Erica> Who can say...
<DeathStar> 6* Gweneve turns toward Miyuki
<DeathStar> 6* Qui drinks water, trying to recover.
<DeathStar> 6* Oddly, she seems to be getting stronger as the day goes on
<Chain> 6*Miyuki looks down at Qui
<Chain> <Miyuki> can you stand child
<DeathStar> 6* While Erica feels a little tiredish
<DeathStar> 6* Qui nods, rising
<Chain> 6*Miyuki looks Qui over, inspecting quietly before nodding
<Sara> * Erica takes a deep breath
<Chain> <Miyuki> then keep fighting
<DeathStar> 6* Qui nods, going back and training with her mother. Soon three matrons walk up, each holding weapons
<DeathStar> <Matron 1> We challenge you, Qui Yi, to ritual combat of succession. 6* Gweneve turns to face them with Qui
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> I have not named her my successor yet. <Matron 2> We all know you will. She is your daughter. Either say you will not now, or stand aside, Gweneve Yi.
<DeathStar> 6* Gweneve Yi eyes them. "She is not fully trained. You disgrace the name of the Amazons." 6* She steps aside. Qui tiredly eyes the three
<DeathStar> <Yuki> This feels like cheating
<Sara> <Erica> It doesn't feel like it; it is.
<Seraphna> * Alita tilts her head. "There should always be ways to even the odds."
<DeathStar> 6* The first Matron enters the combat ring with a spear while Qui grabs her own spear, not using her usual spirit-tech gun
<Seraphna> Alita> "Qui is handicapping herself..." *she mumbles*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Shame you can't do the whole honor fighter thing you see in holovids
<Sara> <Erica> I'm feeling kinda drained for some reason anyway. *she says as if matter-of-fact that she would have done it*
<Chain> <Miyuki> you have to consider students
<Seraphna> Alita> "I could make one of them my love slave and make it 2 to 1... but that would be dishonorable I think." *she looks over Erica curiously*
<DeathStar> 6* Qui fights the first Matron, and takes a slice along her ribs, protecting herself, and manages to cut open the Matron's stomach after a bit, winning.
<Chain> <Miyuki> your enemy will rarely give you the chance to fight at your best on the best day
<DeathStar> 6* She refuses to kill, despite the Matrons demanding it, and the matron is dragged away. The second Matron steps up with a spear
<Seraphna> Alita> "Is she allowed healing between bouts?"
<DeathStar> 6* Qui winces, leaning on the spear
<DeathStar> <Gweneve Yi> Sadly, no
<DeathStar> <Gweneve Yi> Unless you are volunteering to take her place?
<Sara> <Erica> *quietly* Maybe I'm still working off that shrapnel...
<Chain> <Miyuki> if you cannoy fight even at your lowest and the cards are against you then you were better to have not tried at all
<Seraphna> Alita> "I'd be useless unless magic was allowed."
<DeathStar> <Gweneve Yi> It is not
<SuperKoala> *Commodus watches on the sidelines
<Seraphna> Alita> "Then it would be unwise for me to do it."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Same.
<DeathStar> 6* Qui begins the second battle, the second Matron younger and faster, stabbing her in the leg and cutting her, crippling Qui's fighting abilities in half. She circles around her, taunting her
<Sara> * Erica frowns
<DeathStar> 6* Qui reaches, grabbing dirt and throws it in her face as she taunts, then stabs her through, actually going for the kill more in desperation than anything
<Chain> 6*Miyuki cips her hands and calls out " REMEMBER WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS QUI, GET. UP. AND. FIGHT."
<DeathStar> 6* The Amazons on the side line drag the body off
<Seraphna> Alita> "Maybe someone should second her for the third..."
<DeathStar> 6* Qui peers at Miyuki, shoving herself up on the spear, her right leg useless as the third one walks in, the true fighter. The red haired Amazon bounces, the daughter of the original Matron before her, so she's at her prime
<DeathStar> <Matron> Qui. I won't go easy on you
<Sara> <Erica> <Man... I saw something like this on a holovid about a starship crew once... Of course the Captain -did- do the honor fighter thing there...>
<SuperKoala> Commodus> Stick and move Qui, Stick and move!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> <Yeah. She's going to lose>
<Seraphna> Alita> "If I could heal her..."
<Sara> <Erica> ...Qui
<Chain> 6*Miyuki casts a side line glance at the others
<DeathStar> 6* Qui tries to follow Commodus' old training orders, swinging and moving, using the stick somewhat to help her. The Matron girl moves in viciously attacking and hitting against the sticks. Trying to force her out of bounds, going for any attack
<Chain> <Miyuki> have faith in her
<Sara> * Erica nods to Miyuki
<DeathStar> 6* She even slashes at her breasts, since they are both topless, hoping to leave scars. Qui takes cuts all over before she shoulders rams her, clearly fighting Gwen taking over, and knockls the girl down, raising the spear up and slamming it down to pin her
<DeathStar> 6* Then punching her out
<DeathStar> 6* Qui crawl falls over to the others, sitting
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> It is over. No more Matrons may approach until she is healed
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hurries to Qui
<DeathStar> <Yuki> 3 of the remaining 10 beaten. I hope it gives them pause
<SuperKoala> *Commodus kneels by Qui "Don't forget you can fight dirty, kick them in their bathing suit area.
<DeathStar> <Qui> *flusters at Commodus*
* Sera has joined #Duality
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki trots over and kneels, patting Qui
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> When you are healed we can train more. *She walks into her tent*
<SuperKoala> Commodus> Any advantage is an advantage worth using when you are in a corner.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia moves over to Qui
<Sera> * Alita moves over and begins to heal Qui's wounds with Mage Cure 1 and 2.
<DeathStar> <Qui> Any advantage... I wonder if momma will give me the crown...
<Sara> * Erica moves over by Yuki
<Sara> <Erica> If your opponents fight dirty, fighting clean is only showing off.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki peers out at the amazons. Many had gathered to watch and many walk off, looking impressed
<Sara> <Erica> You did good.
<Chain> <Miyuki> child, if you think like that you'll never receive it
<DeathStar> 6* Qui nods at Miyukji, sitting up straighter
<Chain> 6*Miyuki gently cups her face looking into her eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius claps at them, making snow fall
<DeathStar> 6* Qui looks at Miyuki, all serious faced
<Sara> * Erica blinks and shivers
<Sera> * Alita whispers. "I forgot the fight was really 3 to 2." *she finishes mending Qui*
<Chain> <Miyuki> its not about when she will give you the crown. Its when YOU take it
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 206 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Qui> Right!
<Chain> 6*Miyuki gives a motherly smile and kisses her forehead
<Chain> <Miyuki> thats my girl
<DeathStar> <Yuki> <Erica, since they lost fairly, I doubt more will challenge her. That means we have teo be on the look out for dirty tricks now>
<DeathStar> 6* Qui beams
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tunnel Temmie
<Chain> <Temmies> HOI
<DeathStar> 6* Shion tests her body, feeling better.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Hoi. *She pets Vyvy* Alright, I'm heading up north with Sylph's health. Who all is coming?
<Sera> * Cookie checks people over for injuries as they prep to go she nods to Shion. "I'll help again."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I shall, of course."
<SuperKoala> *Little seems better now, still chomping on Temmie flakes
<Stretch> 6Mykel moves over to stand next to Shion,12 "I'm going."
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> I.." She trembles, still clutching the blade.
<Sara> <Liana> *raises hand* May as well. I'm a little worried about Celsius too. I know my Cel is in good hands, so I need to make sure my other Cel is okay... And that's why, Vyvy, you should come, too...
<Sara> <Liana> If you're well enough.
<Chain> <Kitty> I'll be staying Shion, I think it'd be a short fight if I came with you and Miyu would kill me if something happened to Isis
<Sara> * Liana's voice is soft when she addresses Vyvy
<SuperKoala> Little> I'm coming.
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Well...? Well..! Haha... ha... I'm always well... weller than I'd like to be... die... die, I don't die, just those with me... you should just go.. just go, make sure Celsius doesn't also... Sylph...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a brow*
<Sera> Cookie> "Not that I'd mind staying to finish my bond with Little, but there doesn't seem to be time right now."
<Sara> <Liana> I... *she looks concerned*
<DeathStar> 6* Celes smiles at Liana softly
* kalonZombie has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 206 seconds)
<Sara> <Liana> I'll... make sure Celsius knows you're okay... *Liana kisses Celes softly on the cheek* You stay okay, too, okay?
<Chain> 6*Kitty places a firm hand on Vyvy's head
* Sathen has joined #Duality
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy fingers the edges of the blade, slipping its sheath from it and holding it limply in her offhand, smiling at the short sword. "This was just a dagger when she gave it to me... heh.."
* Sathen_Gor has joined #Duality
* kalonZombie has joined #Duality
<DeathStar> <Celes> I will
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Vyvy...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes walks over to Shion
<DeathStar> <Shion> Will you be okay, Vyvy?
* Stretch`PC has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 206 seconds)
* Stretch has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 206 seconds)
<Sathen> nick Stretch
* Sathen is now known as Stretch
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Why wouldn't I be..? I'm fine, right? I'm always fine... you could shoot me right through the head..." She taps below her feral eye as she smiles. "I still wouldn't die."
<DeathStar> <Shion> *eyes her dubiously since she was dead for a tiny bit*
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> I bet even if my heart were torn away, I'd keep ticking... it's what makes me valuable, ha ha.
<DeathStar> <Shion> ...
<Chain> <Kitty> hoo boy...
<DeathStar> <Shion> Alright. Maybe after we beat Death we can free Shade
<Sera> * Cookie moves to join Shion. She eyes Vyvy, as if feeling the madness wafting offher.
<DeathStar> 6* She sounds dubious, but pats her
<Chain> <Kitty> look I'll look after her and see if I can get her mind straight
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Free, free her?
<Stretch> 6Mykel waits next to Shion, waiting for the others to prepare.
<Sera> Cookie> "Death absorbs things, it stands to reason they can be... unabsorbed."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Alright, everyone. Grab onto the flying spirit
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> What do you mean ... free her..!? I sundered her in two! Free her from what..!
<Sera> * Cookie leans over to touch the spirit.
<Sara> * Liana looks concerned, but moves over and does so.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *reachs out to Sylph, glancing back to eye Vyvy*
<DeathStar> <Shion> She did cut her in two, but Shade kept moving for a long time after that
<Sara> <Liana> Vyvy, remember... we're talking about a spirit, and a spirit's weapon. We don't know for sure...
<Stretch> 6Mykel will reach over and touch Sylph's shoulder.
<Sera> Cookie> "I doubt a spirit really is finished with a simple mortal blow?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> It seemed to be after she started to stagger and fall that Death grabbed her finished her off by absorbing her into her like she does the little spirits
<DeathStar> <Shion> I am not saying she is alive mind you
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> I c-cut her.. cut her... I cut her..." She drops the sword, looking panicked, both hands grasping at her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Celes leads Vyvy off
<DeathStar> 6* Shion touches Sylph
<Sera> Cookie> "Vyvy, it wasn't you... that guilt..."
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy she eyes Shion, at a loss for words.
<Sara> * Liana bites her lip as she's still touching Sylph
<DeathStar> <Shion> You weren't evil alive when that happened Vyvy. I am shocked you remember
<DeathStar> *even
<Sara> * Liana thinks to herself how much she hopes Vyvy will be okay
<DeathStar> <Shion> Though it says something about life after death that you do
<DeathStar> <Shion> Or at least being possessed by it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Of course... the mental damage was perhaps from having Death overwhelming her physically*
<Chain> 6*Kitty sighs
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> I died.. how did I die..? It was a spirit, I'm a vessel.. vessel...
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph pats Vyvy once, then warps them out
<DeathStar> 6* Celes watches them go, peering at Vyvy, then at Kitty
<DeathStar> <Celes> Would Vyvy like a nap?
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Celes... ha, Celes... you're so warm, so bright it hurts.
<DeathStar> 6* Celes leads her to a bed
<Mukurokuma> * She covers the feral eye with a hand, smiling.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
* SuperKoala has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen, Quad 5 Slums
<DeathStar> 6* Sao and Kaylin run into Max near the club, Maxing it out after several days
<kalonZombie> 6*Max grumbles, not having gotten a drink in a while
<DeathStar> 6* He was lucky to have been fighting at his fighting ring when the club was Poscoed
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Oiii. You there, state your name and profession
<DeathStar> 6* Now the club has PSyco Pass guards outside it
<Stretch> 6Kaylin stands behind Sao, watching everybody closely that comes within a certain range of them.
<kalonZombie> <Max> John Doe. Everyman.
<DeathStar> 6* The data-reader reader Sao has says that is not true.
<DeathStar> 6* It claims he is Maxmillion Gerar. Nickname Max
<DeathStar> 6* Lover's nickname for him: Maxy
<kalonZombie> 6*Oddly enough it lists his occupation as "Pillow"
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Gonna give you a shot to correct that, Mr. Doe
<kalonZombie> <Max> Who's asking?
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> 'Cause something I got here says otherwise, and a a Looksie Luci would like to hear I found her Maximillian, not that I beat the shit out of some smart ass that's been MIA for about a week.
<kalonZombie> <Max> If you already know why even bother with the pretense of asking?
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> 'Cause I like a good working relationship that has the trust of friendship, Maxi.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> If I can't trust you I'd rather you're unconscious. We have other work to do.
<DeathStar> 6* The Psycho Pass guards eye them, wondering if Sao is soliciting Max.
<Mukurokuma> * She taps her ear and reports back though.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Moving onto beta.
<DeathStar> 6* Yes, the girl asking the guy. Max does looks kind like a prostitute
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Come along, giggolo, we need to talk.
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse gestures away from the known scanning points and the curious guard
<DeathStar> 6* They debate scanning them, but have to watch the club. So they just shake fists
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Wait your tuuuurn!" She calls out toward the guard
<Mukurokuma> * Then smiles devilishly at Max. "I'm sure he's got stamina."
<kalonZombie> 6*Max just rolls his eyes and follows "I can tell I'm going to hate working for you."
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Oh posh, that's a shame.
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse drags Kaylin along
<Stretch> 6Kaylin eye's the guards, checking them for weapons before following Sao and Max.
<DeathStar> 6* They are loaded
<DeathStar> 6* Posco is moving up in the world, it seems. Perhaps it has to do with finding Ylva
<Stretch> 6Kaylin makes mental notes of weapon types of guards, locations of the guards, etc. as they move.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Legionare Capital
<DeathStar> 6* Shion and company step out. Shion peers around, Hapes near her. A large crowd is turned out, preparing for the election voting soon.
<Sera> * Cookie peers around.
<Sara> * Liana peers around slowly.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Not versed in Legion ways, I must ask, what then should be our move?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jules is nearby, talking to the crowd about the future of the Republic, and that the Amazons will not stop
<DeathStar> <Shion> I do not know. Kill Jules?
<Sara> <Liana> That's quite... direct.
<Sera> Cookie> "Could have Hapes here run against him?"
<DeathStar> <Jules> They have attacked us repeatedly. Their Matrons have been found. We need a safer, stronger Republic and I am the only leader here that will do it
<DeathStar> <Hapes> I do not want to lead
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes shakes his head
<Sera> Cookie> "That just makes you more qualified in my book."
<DeathStar> 6* He walks forward toward Jules.
<Stretch> 6Mykel looks around as well but will glance to Shion at her comment...
<DeathStar> <Shion> I was being sarcastic. We can always talk to Jules again about what Qui is doing
<Sera> Cookie> "Let's try that."
* AquaKoala has joined #Duality
<DeathStar> 6* Shion walks along. Jules turns and spots Hapes, and beams, spreading his arms and grabs his younger brother in a hug, slapping him on the back
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yes, let us reason first."
<DeathStar> <Jules> Hapes! You are safe
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"Then let's start with that and see where it goes...because a trial by combat is not the best course in this..."
<DeathStar> <Jules> I am glad to see you here with me
<DeathStar> 6* Jules peers up at Shion and the others
<DeathStar> <Jules> You have brought my brother back to the Republic. Thank you
<AquaKoala> *Little nods to him
<Sera> Cookie> "We came with important news."
<DeathStar> <Hapes> Jules. We must stop this war. Now. There is a powerful Death spirit that is thriving off of it. It will decimate all of GEyze
<DeathStar> <Jules> *he looks at Hapes* A Death Spirit?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion walks up to join them
<Sara> <Liana> *speaking up as she stays with the group* I know it sounds ridiculous. But the Dark Spirit has been done away with by this spirit, and the Ice Spirit nearly was.
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"It's true cousin..." 6He moves to stand next to Hapes.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> It is scary.
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander emerges, walking along
<Sera> Cookie> "It's already done massive damage. Sylph here can act as witness."
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Shade is ...dead?
<Sara> <Liana> Or something like it.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *also walks forward* "It feeds from battlefields and charnel houses."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Yes.
<Sera> * Cookie blinks, but nods.
<Sara> * Liana says solemnly
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander lifts her head to south. "Vyvy."
<DeathStar> 6* She vanishes
<Sera> Cookie> "Meep... well maybe she can help Vyvy break out of her funk."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Regardless..."
<DeathStar> <Shion> So you must stop your war with the Amazons. Qui is already there, trying to take over the crown
<Sara> <Liana> I hope so. I want Vyvy to be well... even if I can't imagine the pain she must be feeling.
<DeathStar> <Shion> We have told you about her before
<DeathStar> <Jules> Yes...
<DeathStar> <Hapes> Listen to them brother. Qui is a good person.
<DeathStar> <Hapes> I love her
<Sera> Cookie> "At least a cease fire until this is resolved."
<AquaKoala> Little> If the war continues Geyze will be effectively lost
<DeathStar> 6* Jules eyes Hapes, shocked a bit
<Sera> Cookie> "That way the spirit won't get stronger. For the good of everyone, including your Legion."
<Sara> <Liana> Both sides will lose...
<Sara> <Liana> No matter who "wins"...
<Stretch> 6Mykel glances to Cookie, 12"that's why she left most likely, to comfort her." 6He returns his attention to Jules.
<Sara> * Liana looks grave
<DeathStar> <Jules> ... I see. So you two are close? <Hapes> Very. <Jules> *nods* Very well. Support me in my campaign to get the election votes, brother, and I will halt my campaign. And if this Qui is elected...we will see about making peace.
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes beams
<DeathStar> *campaign against the Amazons
<Sera> * Cookie sighs in relief, looking at Jules though, in case she might pick up anything from him.
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"Wait..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jules leans against the podium, having too many thoughts to pick up any one thought
<DeathStar> 6* Shock being most prevailant
<Sara> <Liana> I'm sorry that we had to bring such difficult tidings...
<Sera> * Cookie rubs her head, the shock at least assuring her. Men with plans don't reel that often.
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"Jules, how do you propose to halt your campaign?"
<Sera> Cookie> "This should be a smooth election... you're unopposed aren't you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes pats his brother, moving into the crowd.
<DeathStar> <Jules> Yes. And we haven't been on the attack in a bit. Halting it is easy enough, Mykel. I had to go through the election process after all as father wished
<DeathStar> 6* Jules steps away, moving to greet and talk to people
<Sera> * Cookie looks around slowly, frowning.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Well, that is one worry down.
<Sera> Cookie> "Hope so..."
<Sara> * Liana smiles a little, actually feeling reassured by seeing this attitude in Jules
<Stretch> Mykel> 12Jules...do you know of any legionaire being dispatched to the Amazon about a month ago to weaken Undine?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Jules has so far shown himself to be a man of honor. The worry is with the Amazons."
<Sara> <Liana> I believe in Qui.
<DeathStar> <Shion> All that is really left I suppose is the Hapians. They don't know about the Naturalists being beaten. Plus they ran into the Death spirit and might try for revenge
<DeathStar> 6* Jules looks back. "Yes, I dispatched them immediately after our attack and before speaking with father."
<AquaKoala> Little> She seemed stronger than she looked when I saw her.
<DeathStar> <Jules> I never heard back from them though and didn't think twice
<AquaKoala> Little> What about the Daemon Coup?
<Sara> <Liana> Well, fortunately, we have me and my sister-in-law, the Commander... even if I doubt the Empress Hapian would be eager to listen to me. *she notes*
<Sera> Cookie> "Yeah... we know a direct threat coming to this Demon lady."
<DeathStar> <Shion> We still have a bit more time. But once we reunite with mother we can send someone there. I'm trying to fix the wars. And they still won't have time to have reached them
<DeathStar> 6* Shion turns to Sylph to get a ride, preparing to go to the Hapians
<Sera> * Cookie nods slowly.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I shall have to face my aunt eventually..."
<Sara> * Liana follows Shion
<Stretch> 6Mykel looks to Shion and shakes his head before returning his attention to Jules, 12"you sent a man to attack one of the Great Spirits?"
<AquaKoala> *Little touches Sylph
<Sera> * Cookie moves over to join Shion.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Amazon Territory
<DeathStar> 6* Qui collapses, needing a break again, drinking water and looking exhausted, twitching. Evening is beginning to descend
<AquaKoala> Commodus> Qui, perhaps you should try another weapon.
<AquaKoala> Commodus> They know your fighting style with the spear.
<DeathStar> <Gweneve Yi> *peers at her daughter* You still haven't convinced me, dear daughter, fighting with the spear or not, why I should even let you challenge me for the crown.
<Sara> <Erica> Eh. One of the best tricks I know of is to switch hands instead of weapons.
<DeathStar> <Gweneve Yi> Why I should let someone who wishes to ally with men rule us
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki's ears twitch. Behind the tent there is movement, subtle and quiet
<Chain> 6*Miyuki's ears wiggle
<Sera> * Alita frowns, even she's getting to the point where she wants to say 'fuck it' and challenge the woman.
<Sara> * Erica glances in the direction of the sound, noticing it because of Yuki
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Aunt..? You hear..
<Chain> <Miyuki> ssshhh
<Chain> <Miyuki> go to the others, I'll look
<DeathStar> <Qui> At the rate we are going mother, the Amazons as a people are doomed to die. We need allies, and not just women.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki slowly nods, shifting over to Erica
<Chain> 6*Miyuki moves quietly for the sound
<DeathStar> <Qui> We are doomed to a cycle of violence forever. Battling the Legion, then the Legion us, then them
<Sera> * Alita raises a brow and gently puts a hand on her staff.
<Sera> * Talia lazes in Alita's lap. One eye partly open.
<AquaKoala> *Commodus eyes everyone becoming alert and unsheaths his sword
<DeathStar> 6* As Miyuki rounds the tent, a Matron is setting up an explosive, but a second one, prepared for anything, throws a specialized net over Miyuki, designed to sap energy from the target more than catch them
<DeathStar> 6* They attempt to yank it tight around her
<Chain> 6*Miyuki gives a fox scream
<Sara> <Erica> <Move.>
<AquaKoala> *Commodus bull charges that direction
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki jerks and rushes around the tent. Gweneve turns
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia rushes for her Miyuki
<Sara> * Erica goes the other way compared to Yuki, for a pincer
<DeathStar> 6* The Matron 2 turns the bomb on, set for 15 seconds and runs, as does the first, but the others around
<Chain> <Miyuki> Unhand me you waxen face bitches
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki tackles one and punches
<DeathStar> 6* Freeing Miyuki
<AquaKoala> *Commodus grabs the bomb and hurls it away with his full strength (Burn 4 strength)
<Sera> * Alita rises and frowns, she begins to move out of the tent. "My Lady I suggest we move from here now."
<Sara> * Erica tries to grab the bomb and throw
<Sara> * Oh, Commodus beat her to it
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb flies high, landing in the Matron section
<Sara> * Erica instead goes to punch someone Yuki didn't
<Chain> 6*Miyuki pants as she takes the net and pockets it
<DeathStar> 6* Erica nails the other Matron
<AquaKoala> *Commodus reels "MATRONS RUN, CLEAR AWAY"
<DeathStar> 6* The Matrons freak and run, as it blows a few seconds later, destroying their tents
<DeathStar> 6* Gweneve pers, watching. "Karma justice."
<AquaKoala> Commodus> Sorry!
<Chain> 6*Miyuki goes into massive fox form and coils around them to protect from the blast
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> *peers at Commodus* I suppose you could be my mating sperm base if you wished
<Sera> * Alita frowns, peering outside the tent for any back up trouble.
<Sara> <Erica> Tch. I'm getting a bit tired of these unexpected explosions.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki peeks over Miyuki after it does down
<DeathStar> *dies
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Wow
<AquaKoala> *Commodus deadpans a little at Gweneve
<Chain> 6*Miyuki goes to normal and snarls
<DeathStar> 6* Gweneve seems to be offering it truly, peering him over
<Chain> <Miyuki> they ruined my hair
<DeathStar> 6* Then turns to the two Matrons
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> Guard, tie them up to die
<DeathStar> 6* The two matrons are dragged off
<AquaKoala> *Commodus looks legitimately not interested
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> Qui, tomorrow morning, you may battle me for the throne
<Sara> <Erica> <I think he likes men>
<Mukurokuma> * burn
<DeathStar> 6* Qui jerks
<Sera> Alita> "Well then... all in all are we calling this a success?"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki brushes her hair
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> Be ready, for it will be a fight to the death. And I will not go easy on you, daughter
<DeathStar> 6* She turns, moving off
<DeathStar> 6* Qui winces, watching her mother go
<DeathStar> <Qui> Mother...
<Sera> Alita> "My lady?"
<DeathStar> 6* Gweneve goes inside her tent to rest and be ready. Qui takes a deep breath to steady herself
<Sera> <Alita> "May I suggest imprisonment for the Matrons for now? The Death spirit might start to look this way."
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> Very well
<DeathStar> 6* The two Matrons are tied up on posts
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Sara> <Erica> *quietly* Princess Qui... you could always substitute.
<DeathStar> Epilogue 1:
<Sara> ((Oops))
<DeathStar> 6* At the Hapian Territory, a bright light begins to form over the battlefield. Those with good morality, would begin to feel much stronger and heroic feeling, like a blessed crusade is coming. A figure in pure white light forms on the battle field before the Hapians, making the Hapian army bend knee
<DeathStar> 6* Eve walks forward, with her red eyes. "It is time, people. Let us march."
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, those who are daemons who begin to feel weaker, as do those with bad morality (including Vyvy since I haven't updated her from neutral since she began banging Shade)
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 2:
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander appears in the tunnels, finding Vyvy and hugging her and petting her.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> There there.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis peers at the fire spirit appearing, surrounded by Temmies, while meanwhile Celes grabs her stomach in pain, having cramps much like when Death was around earlier
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy sniffs, but opens her eyes and smiles. "Ahh, the flame."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Ungh...
<DeathStar> <Salamander> You are talking strangely, Vyvy...
<Chain> 6*Kitty reels and moves to Celes
<Chain> <Kitty> woah woah whats wrong
<DeathStar> <Celes> The cramps are back...
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> I was just feeling cold, so warm..." She laughs, probably referring to the feeling of Eve's descendance.
<Chain> 6*Kitty picks her up
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander muses, then carries into the back to make her feel much warmer, likely sex. Yes sex.
<Chain> <Kitty> come on its probably the stress and being on your feet
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, in one of the back tunnels, one of the students begins to twitch, wounded too much for healing despite the best efforts of the Tamae healers. They sigh, closing the students eyes as they pass on and move to help others that were hurt in the battle.
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> So warm, ahah, so warm... warm
<DeathStar> 6* Not noticing as the dead student twitches
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 3:
<DeathStar> 6* After clearing out the club of Psyco Pass Guards and recruiting Jelly, Sao's crew stands outside the Psyco Pass HQ. A heavily fortified building
<DeathStar> 6* An armored car is parked out from, empty, and three guards guard the doorway.
<DeathStar> *front
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Gonna be straight. They have better weapons and shit, but... we got hometown advantage, and pretty sure the folks I recruited want to evict these assholes.
<Stretch> 6Jelly peers at the three people with him, holding his pack tightly on his shoulders; 3"Ticky-tock voluptuous helicopter..."
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> I'll be right back, follow the plan we discussed. All of you. Even the roughnecks.
<Stretch> 6Kaylin studies the layout and guards, 14"So do we attempt peaceful negotiations or...?"
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse moves away from them holds her hands up. "Yoohoo. Hey guys."
<DeathStar> <Guard> Yeah?
<Stretch> 6Kaylin reaches behind her back, preparing herself for a fight...
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> So I have a few questions. First, have you seen these people." She holds up a datapad with the images of the crew scrolling by
<DeathStar> <Guard> I can't say to a civilian
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Which brings me to the second. Will you comply with CoreSec standards?" She holds up her new badge
<DeathStar> *The guard pauses, scanning the badge and jerks at the Agent level, which is what Kira was said to be when Chel talked. He talks frantically on his comm for 10 minutes , eyeing Sao with color fading, then finally Barry is brought out and the robot that Aqua plays*
<DeathStar> 6* As well as some strange sword on the back of the robot
<AquaKoala> *Prometheus sparks "Hello friends! You have sprung us from the clink!"
<DeathStar> 6* However, there is no sign of Ylva
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> There's still one more.
<AquaKoala> Prometheus> I am a changed man!
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse gestures, describing Ylva
<DeathStar> <Guard> We have no records of that one. I am afraid you have it wrong. *there is also no sign of Chief, the fake Asarar*
<DeathStar> 6* The guard motions them gone
<DeathStar> <Guard> Move along please
<Sera> * The sword looks swordlike.
<DeathStar> <Guard> *to Prometheus* Yeah yeah. Be glad you didn't drop the soap
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Very well, then you won't mind me checking the security logs
<DeathStar> <Guard> I'll have to clear it with my boss. Just wait there for now please.
<DeathStar> 6* He looks a bit fishy now.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Alright!
<DeathStar> 6* Will Sao get the logs? Or will they be shot? Find out
<DeathStar> -To Be Concluded-
