<DeathStar> 1.29.5991
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> 6* Shion finishes signing Commodus off the team, who has decided to go back home. The snow is slowly becoming lighter around campus lately and Celes is outside with Selena, sitting outside the Unit 6 building and watching the new students. Lately, things have definitely changed with the Tamae and Aska's Holy Order moving across the lands, bringing justice and light to the land, however harsh
<DeathStar> 6* And the Academy stands right in the Hapian lands, despite owning it's property
* Stretch`cell has joined #DualSession86
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki yawns before she kneads her kittens
<Seraphna> * Alita sighs to herself as she looks over a worn book, then peers out over the grounds.
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy shivers, continuing her training but not as used to the whole nude meditation in snow as Kalam.
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia moves up behind Alita and massaging her shoulders
<Seraphna> * Alita sighs a bit more, happily, and relaxed.
<Stretch`cell> * Mykel sits next to Alita, smiling at Ceilia*
<DeathStar> 6* Shion gathers a few documents, moving out toward the Unit 6 building, pulling on a white cloak
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *reclines in the team lounge, reading a book*
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki swaps to fox form to move her kittens to a better and warmer spot
<Kemonohime> * Kasha perches on Shion's shoulder, wearing a scarf.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis smiles, watching Miyuki, drawing up a lesson plan quietly
<Stretch`cell> * Miyasha is perched on the opposite shoulder*
<DeathStar> 6* Shion approaches the Unit 6 building; Celes tilts her head as Shion passes her and enters the building, knocking snow off. "Commander, call your people."
<Seraphna> * Alita blinks and rises to follow Shion in as she passes.
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia follows
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *closes her book and sets it down before reaching over to ring a bell*
<DeathStar> 6* Shion picks a share and leans back.
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki's ears flick as she carries her kittens down to where the students are gathering, its about time they admire her children
<Sara> * Liana comes out of her room eating a muffin and looking like she was sleeping in
<Sara> * Maybe lack of sleep from the baby caused her to try to get extra
<Stretch`cell> * Mykel follows in and waits, listening*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Is this everyone who is left?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> It seems so. I have been gathering intel and data since the events of late, with spirits and all that is abond.
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy walks in nude, shaking. "... B-Blanket, blanket, blanket.. clear mind... blanket... clear mind..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And Vyvy... though technically she did resign from this team."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Spira, warm me! ;A;
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki settles herself in the center and puffs warmly with her kittens
<Sara> * Liana deadpans and averts her eyes
<Seraphna> * Alita peers at Vyvy, then covers her in a blanket.
<DeathStar> 6* Spira moves over and strips down to hug onto Vyvy, warming her with her body
<GhostChain> <Miyuki> Kon
<Seraphna> * Alita covers them both, and considers tying the blankets shut.
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia awwwwwwws and looks at the kittens
<DeathStar> 6* Shion peers at her mother, then pauses. "Before we begin, my mother would like to introduce my siblings
<Seraphna> * Alita looks over and smiles. "They are adorable little ones."
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki makes pleased noises as her tails swish
<Kemonohime> * Kasha hops off Shion and lands on Miyuki
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem... as you are all aware, Commodus has left us to return home for personal reasons."
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki bristles and wrestles Kasha into submission before grooming Kasha and the kittens while they talk
<DeathStar> <Shion> Yes. And we have been getting conflicting messages on how to return Shade. *She peers up at Karen as she sits quietly behind Sasha*
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy squints at Karen
<DeathStar> <Shion> I am still looking into all the writings on the ancient daemonic caves to verify for myself. Along with Lady Rain. But right now, the most pressing bit of information I want you all to look into before the Holy Order gets to it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Without Shade to balance her out, Aska is running rampant."
<Sara> * Liana finishes her muffin as she listens
<DeathStar> 6* Shion pulls out a sheet of paper, along with what looks to be a painting, hastily done. "We believe the Rogue Magi Leader is dead, and we want you to investigate his body before the Order reaches it. Use whatever spirit you need to. The body is in a village near the Amazon/Hapian border."
<DeathStar> 6* She hands over the drawing
<Seraphna> Alita> "How did he die?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she deadpans, just a little, at Alita* Isn't that part of investigating his body?
<Sara> <Liana> Died from a lack of living, I imagine. *she says dryly*
<Seraphna> Alita> "I was just curious if you knew... knowing he's dead sometimes comes from some obvious news pertaining to it."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Interesting... no wodner the rogue mago have been quiet lately."
<DeathStar> <Shion> From what I know, his body turned up in the quiet village and that painting was done for law purposes. I managed to get a copy by chance
<DeathStar> <Shion> The Holy Order is on it's way to get it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Why are they so interested in it?"
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy calls on Salamander.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Amazon border... Lady of Flame it is...
<DeathStar> <Shion> The Holy Order, it seems, is putting it's foot down on evil magi users
<Seraphna> * Alita sighs. "And of course they're probably loose on the meaning of 'Evil'... I suppose I will have to be careful."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Smart girl
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then we had best move with haste."
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander appears, then jerks at Spira and her being nude
<DeathStar> <Salamander> A-An-Another one!?
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Another..? Spira has always been here.
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki konlaughs snidely
<DeathStar> 6* She lights her hand up with a fire ball. "I thought she was your handmaiden or something!"
<DeathStar> 6* Spira sticks out her tongue
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Lady of Flame, can you take us..." She describes the border between them and Hapian
<Sara> * Liana facepalms and shakes her head
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> She is my bonded...
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy scrunches her face, this isn't new
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander twitches, but accepts that she knew that, and motions then to touch her, grabbingf Spira's tail a bit rough, making her merowl
<DeathStar> 6* Kalam peers out, nodding to Vyvy for taking control
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy grabs her clothes before they disappear. "See you soon, teacher."
<DeathStar> 6* Shion rises. "I'll stay here and continue to investigate things."
<Kemonohime> * Kasha nods under Miyuki
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves to touch Salamander* "We shall return as quickly as possible."
<Sara> * Liana steps out to quickly say goodbye to Celes and Selena, then comes back for the teleport
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Bye-bye li'l Selena!
<DeathStar> 6* Celes and Selena wave to everyone
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* Sen muses on the viewscreen of their progress so far. Yuki palms the reality shard as Sen talks quietly, the image distorted a bit by the distance
<GhostChain> 6*Kitty peels a mango
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse twitches, feeling she's still crippled the ship
<kalonLappy> 6*Gor sneaks a bite from said Mango
<GhostChain> 6*Kitty flicks his nose
<DeathStar> <Sen> There seems to be an air of ... dread here. We might be out of contact. The tension between Kumen and Geyze is still on the rise following the events last year, and all it will take is a single spark. Each side is poking at each other constantly.
<GhostChain> <Kitty> bad bun
<Sara> * Erica listens, paying no attention to Saoirse
<kalonLappy> <Gor> You don't seem to mind too much.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Anything that could ease the tensions?"
<DeathStar> <Sen> It seems the Geyze governments and the corporations are no longer favorable, and we cannot calm them down. Also I will look into how you managed to gain a second spirit. The fact they can multiple was not forseen
<DeathStar> <Sen> *the main crosses her arms, thinking*
<DeathStar> <Sen> We are two different cultures with two different ways of life. I do not know at this point
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki peers up
<GhostChain> 6*Kitty sits on Gor and slices up more of her mango before eating
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> S-Sorry
<DeathStar> <Narrator> If only I had gotten on and spoken at that point, maybe it would have made a difference. Then again, I had no idea the turn events would take. Who could forseen what would happen?
<kalonLappy> 6*Gor rubs at Kitty's back
<DeathStar> <Sen> Sorry for what? It is something unique to investigate and I already told the Captain to use the spirit egg when she wanted to do so. I will get back in touch with you when I can, or the PResident wishes to. Good luck
<DeathStar> 6* Sen ends transmission and Yuki picks up the map
<Seraphna> * Cookie frowns a little. "There's got to be some sort of link you two have... but... good luck to you too."
<Sara> * Erica leans back, pondering
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Now that we've met the shapeshifters, we'll be moving further out into the Delta Quadrant and the Empire. There's a few uncharted worlds to the left, or we can go on the known traveled sections
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And deeper into the Empire where there's definitely known worlds
<Jackieness> <Airym> *steps on to the bridge and moves to the science station*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Well... uncharted is a gamble, but known worlds also seem to carry their own baggage."
<Sara> <Erica> The unknown's more of a wildcard, to be sure...
<Sara> <Erica> It's a tough call to make. We're doing our job either way, technically.
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> What do we know about the Empire?
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Could flip a coin. Or choose whichever would give you time to maybe wake that egg up."
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> The egg only takes a day if it's like Yulindhe..
<Jackieness> <Airym> *projects data on the known worlds to the command console alongside astrometric data on the unknown region*
<Sara> <Erica> *seemingly ignoring Saoirse* Granted, the unknown's more exciting, and that's both good and bad. *she peers at the data*
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse peers at Erica and walks out
<Seraphna> * Cookie looks between the two sensing the tension, but goes back to looking outward. "Let's take a chance."
<DeathStar> 6* Yulindhe follows along after Saoirse
<Sara> <Erica> Maybe it's worth a shot, it's not like we can't turn back...
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki peers back and forth, then pockets the shard
<DeathStar> <Yuki> True
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Alright, so the left it is
<Sara> * Erica gives a small nod toward Yuki
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am projecting a course to the nearest possible inhabited world based upon the most recent astrometric surveys we have available."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki rises. "It could take a bit exploring the unknown path, but we might find good stuff too. We can set it up on automatic for now."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sets it in for now and moves
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Club
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir flips lands on a table, dancing to the music
<Seraphna> * Luci claps.
<kalonLappy> 6*Max sips a beer and watches
<Jackieness> <Kira> *sits at the bar with a cocktail*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar comes downstairs with her datareader, working hard on something and grabs food from Barry
<Jackieness> <Kira> "What are you working on there?"
<Sara> * Chelsea peers out from fixing something but looks a bit blank compared to normal
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers at Kira, blinking her purple eyes. "Oh, just doing some research."
<Kemonohime> * Ylva is locked away in her lab room
<Seraphna> Luci> <I'm sensing a love-square getting moody.>
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Anything juicy?"
<kalonLappy> <Max> <Love squares are messier than love triangles.>
<Seraphna> Luci> <At least it's not a love decahedron.>
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No, just personal stuff
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir hops along and knocks on Ylva's door
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Ah, ok."
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Siiiiis, whatcha doing?
<GhostChain> 6*Wolfe walks down, phigglets following
<kalonLappy> <Max> <Whats a duckdoorheadiron?>
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pauses in her work to notice a high level corporate worker on the floor, clapping to the dancers and singers on the mild first floor
<Seraphna> <Luci> <A kind of jam donut, dear.>
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Son of-- *She closes her reader and turns to face him*
<DeathStar> 6* Then touches her ear, talking to the computer, trying to figure out what corporation exactly
<Jackieness> <Kira> *glances over at the suit*
<kalonLappy> <Max> <...Can we have them for the wedding?>
<GhostChain> 6*Wolfe's ears flick sensing some unease
<Seraphna> Luci> <Sure.>
<Sara> * Chelsea returns to what she was doing for the moment, her brief distraction having caused a burst of flame from a stove that fortunately doesn't burn anything before it's gone
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar finally identifies him as one of the board of directors for Bio-Tech
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie hisses and hides
<DeathStar> <Asarar on comm> We have a board of director here people.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar muses on how to take advantage of this.
<Seraphna> <Luci> "Oh. Hmm." *she peers over at the person carefully*
<GhostChain> <Wolfiecomm> shall we go and say hello?
<DeathStar> <Asarar on comm> I'd rather not tip off we are. I wonder if we could get listening device on him
<DeathStar> 6* The young man seems to be heading up to the second floor, in search of more dancers
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I could always slip into something nice and get up close."
<GhostChain> <Wolfiecomm> I got someone on it then
<GhostChain> 6*Wolfe holds up a phigglet
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'd rather not use one of us who goes on missions a l-- *she blinks*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You want to send a phigglet?
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> its small enough
<Seraphna> <Luci> He'll never see it coming.
<Seraphna> <Luci> I deem this one... Agent Smithlet.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...seriously?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I guess we can try. I was going to ask Riki or Ymir. He seems to be gravitating to faunas and aurits
<GhostChain> <Smitlet>oui
<Sara> * Chelsea deadpans as she listens
<kalonLappy> <Max> About 00Bacon?
<Sara> * Knowing she goes on missions too much to be an option anyway
<Seraphna> Luci> REmind me to get cool shades for Agent Smithlet.
<kalonLappy> *How about
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar points, not looking happy at how the executive acts toward the female workers she employs, trying to make a safe environment. He slaps them on the ass, flashing money for private dances
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> so? Riki can hold it and while she's distracting him it can bug him
<Kemonohime> * A grinder and some torch-like sounds repond to Ymir, nothing more.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Sis has gotten the inventor bug!
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir wanders back over
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Sure, go for it, Wolfe. Send in the pig
<Seraphna> Luci> "Granted with how he wants to go into private rooms with our girls... planting anything should be easy..."
<GhostChain> 6*Wolfe lets Smithlet waddle over to Asarar for the device before going to Riki for deployment
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar kneels and hands it over
<kalonLappy> <Max> Hmmm... You sound like you're brewing a plan.
<DeathStar> 6* Riki blinks and moves over to take the phiglet
<GhostChain> 6*the phigglet wiggles cutely as it takes it before hopping into Riki's arms
<DeathStar> <Riki> O-Oh kay.
<DeathStar> *she nervous walks up the stairs*
<GhostChain> <Smithlet>oui
<Seraphna> <Luci> That Agent Smithlet is a cool operator.
<DeathStar> 6* As Riki approaches the young executive and he turns around to face her, he suddenly clutches his chest in pain and jerks. Suddenly the dance floor pauses and turns to face him, and Riki freezes in shock and fear as the man makes a face of pain and reaches out toward her, before collapsing onto the dance floor, the dance music and lights flashing. Asarar, watching on a private monitor, jerks
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... was he allergic to phiglets?
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> I dont think thats how it works...
<kalonLappy> <Max> ...That phiglet is a master assassin.
<DeathStar> 6* Barry rushes up the steps
<Seraphna> Luci> "...If so he should have shown signs a lot earlier, the place is crawling with them... that was a heart attack."
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> that and theyre hypoallergenic
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar follows as the dance floor people crowd into corners and Barry kneels. Riki hugs the phiglet, looking pale
<GhostChain> 6*it nuzzles her to reassure her
<Sara> * Chelsea peeks in and moves in, wondering what happened
<DeathStar> <Barry> *checks his pulse* ... he's dead.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Blast it. that means cops with this many people
<Sara> <Chelsea> He just... died? HERE? Wait, what if they think we...
<Seraphna> * Luci moves over as well, fixing her dress a bit as she moves. She raises a brow. "Not a heart attack then... they take a bit longer than that..."
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> damage control boss
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If he died of a heart attack, there's no way we can be blamed. *she takes the device from the phiglet and crushes it*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets pray he's not been poisoned
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> check his drink and mouth
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Which drink? He's had a few."
<Seraphna> * Luci peers him over, "My stabilizer might have worked, but this was pretty instant death. Anurism maybe?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves to the spelt drink and touches it, bringing it to her tounge, her eyes glowing, the other side taking over
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Clean.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Scan him... discreetly."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar puts her gloves on as her hands look messed up again, doing so
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No sign of malpractice.
<Sara> * Chelsea peers at Asarar somewhat curiously
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers about the room methodically, frowning, and standing up
<Seraphna> Luci> "Probably just got overexcited then and had a heart attack..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Call the cops, Barry. We'll play this by the books.
<Sara> * Chelsea frowns but offers, "if we play it completely legit like that and they don't find anything, it does help us look better in the big picture..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Chelsea is correct. Kira, make sure all our agents are not doing any side operations
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I will be reviewing the footage of this. He looks to be in good health. This makes no sense
<kalonLappy> <Max> Right... by the books... 6*He goes to hide his stash
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Only one off my radar is Otto. He's not active with us anymore, but he is a known associate."
<Seraphna> Luci> "You never know with these things. Outward health is decieving sometimes."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We'll work through it. They try to connect us, we can just say he stayed here
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We are a hotel
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander appears in the village with the others, then hugs Vyvy
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I missed you
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, a group of Amazons stand, guarding someone with a hood on
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Over there."
<Seraphna> Alita> "Mmm." *she adjusts her own hood, taking care to not be too obviously demonic*
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia does the same, hiding her tail
<DeathStar> 6* Karen flaunts her's
<DeathStar> 6* Red eyes peering about
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Come." *approaches thw Amazon guards*
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander hugs and kisses Vyvy all over
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Missed me..? I call a lot!
<Sara> * Liana follows after Sasha
<DeathStar> <Salamander> But every moment I am away is like a moment I am not in bed with you.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Making you mine
<Seraphna> Alita> "Harem..."
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander walks along, peering at Alita with a brow raised. "Shall I add you to it, little daemon?"
<kalonLappy> <Ceilia> Totes harem.
<Seraphna> Alita> "I-I'm taken."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Ah, I see. Well, I apologise, I will call more often?
<DeathStar> 6* The female amazons stand attention, even though a few look like they wished they were not there guarding their charge
<DeathStar> <Salamander> OF course! *She seems to be more into Vyvy since she's taken to ordering her*
<DeathStar> <Captain> This is an Amazon site, turn away
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We are with the Academy. We understand that you have recovered the body of a rogue magi."
<DeathStar> <Captain> This target has offended our lands and is ours to-- <Male Voice> These are my friends, stand down
<Seraphna> * Alita looks over curiously.
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy in her peculiar formal-attire with blade on hip stands calmly besides Salamander, letting Sasha deal with nuances
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia peeks over someone's shoudler to see who spoke up
<DeathStar> 6* The hooded figure turns to face them, walking a few steps over then lifts their hood, Gwen smiling at them, his dark hair longer these days. A strange dagger lays across his waist. He looks a bit paler these days
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Hello, my friends. *his attire suggests he is a high ranking general*
<kalonLappy> <Ceilia> Gwen! 6*She moves over to hug him
<Seraphna> Alita> "Gwen... how are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen blinks in surprise, freezing
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Gwen, it is indeed good to see you again."
<Sara> * Liana blinks and moves in closer... but not latching onto him like Ceilia
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I am well. I am doing some investigations for Queen Qui
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy tackles Gwen
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Regarding the rogue magi?"
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen nods then acks, falling onto his back. His protection deal tenses up
<Sara> <Liana> Hey, don't harass Gwen too much...
<Seraphna> Alita> "It's okay, we assure you it's purely loving attacks upon him."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> H-Hello, V-Vyvy. *He seems to be getting over his shyness of women a bit, used to Vyvy and Liana a lot more than most, and the others a bit too, due to his time with the team*
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> It's been a while!!
<kalonLappy> <Ceilia> Completely innocent.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I-Indeed
<Seraphna> Alita> "However, we should get down to business. Aska's people could be here any time."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy nuzzles her face on him a bit, then smiles and crawls off
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Quite."
<Sara> <Liana> Hello, Gwen. *she says gently before glancing at Alita*
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen points his gloved hand at a building with a decaying body, due to being left out in the sun, with a body, rising up and adjusting the dagger
<Stretch> 6*Mykel smiles and waits quietly behind Alita, being more reserved due to their presence in Amazon lands*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Yes. We are here due to the Rogue Magi Leader and what he did. His body is not in the best of shape due to time, but he's been mostly preserved
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The Academy sent us to investigate as well."
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen kneels by the bloated body
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia moves over to look the body over as well
<Seraphna> Alita> "Is it able to be transported? Maybe we shouldn't linger too long." *she peers about the scene* "Is this where he died?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *circles around the body then kneels* "Does anyone have a small stick or the like?"
<DeathStar> 6* The body seems to be curled up as if in pain, the face and mouth opened wide
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen hands a large stick
<Sara> * Liana kneels by Gwen, frowning a bit as she looks at the body
<kalonLappy> <Ceilia> Possibly magical torture?
<Stretch> Mykel> "I could lay him out flat without touching him if you want?"
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia looks for obvious wounds that might contribute
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...close enough...do not move him."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I planned to call upon our spirit to transport it.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Either way... you'll have to explain how you got the Dagger of Dra later too, when we're away from here."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I talked with the people here and the reports that I got have me frowning.
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander kneels, peering at it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *kneels down and examine the eyes and mouth*
<Seraphna> Alita> "Why's that?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well, one is that a woman stumbled away from this scene and she has not been seen since. She looks disoriented according to some reports. The second was that a woman was visiting this village right before the body was found and one little girl claimed she was a magi that did tricks for the girl, like growing her flowers. The reports placed the magi about her mid-twenties
<DeathStar> 6* The eyes seem to be wide, as if straining, and mouth open wide to the max
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We planned to have Undine look at it since she is the spirit of life
<kalonLappy> <Ceilia> Freightened to death?
<Seraphna> Alita> "...Hmm... so the woman might have killed him or..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I would find the missing woman if possible. He may have used a transmigration ritual."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> A what?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Admittedly its arcane theory... unproven theory, but transfer a mortal spirit from one physical shell to another."
<Seraphna> * Alita shakes her head. "Body hopping."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So the magi rogue is now a woman. Meaning this man might not be his first shell?
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I can't sense such things unfortunately
<Seraphna> Alita> "A cheap means toward immortality, which would also explain how a Magi from so long ago is even alive today."
<kalonLappy> <Ceilia> If it even was a he to begin with.
<Sara> <Liana> That could... explain some rather unfortunate things, yeah...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "As I said, its theory. However your missing woman is still a possible witness, even if not the rogue magi himself."
<Seraphna> Alita> "Like how he keeps escaping death."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> The way the Legionares tortured him, that might be why he did it. *he shows the wounds all over the body*
<Stretch> Mykel> "There were rumors of a female magi in the Republic that was still causing troubles there."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> This body was crippled for good
<Seraphna> Alita> "So either way, we need to find the woman. But... we should confirm the theory with Undine or some other means."
<Sara> <Liana> Cruelty begets cruelty, I suppose...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I advise relocating this to Undine body now. That would buy us some time as the Holy Order has to travel further than just this village."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *he turns to the Amazon captain* Call her
<Seraphna> Alita> "Agreed, waiting where we know they're heading is unwise."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'll see if I can get a painting of the woman from the girl
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen moves off
<DeathStar> 6* The captain focuses and Undine appears, then leaps back from Salamander
<DeathStar> <Undine> Oh ho ho, Salamander. <Salamander> Undine. *they smile sweetly at each other*
<Seraphna> Alita> "Be at peace, Lady Undine, you and Salamander are allies today."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> ... Um." She raises an arm between the two
<Seraphna> Alita> "Both in a race against Aska's movements. So we mustn't waste time."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Hello again, Lady Undine.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem. Might we get on with this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Undine peers at Vyvy
<DeathStar> <Undine> Hello, little Vyvy
<DeathStar> *Undine pats her*
<DeathStar> <Undine> *she turns gracefully to the body and moves over to it, leaning forward*
<DeathStar> 6* She moves her watery body about, examining the corpse, then leans back. "This body gave out all of a sudden. As if a cord was cut. The essence inside is also gone."
<Sara> * Liana flinches at that thought
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Which would be the case if he did intdded transfer his spirit."
<Seraphna> Alita> "So the spirit left the body... and it was a mode of death."
<DeathStar> <Undine> That is indeed a possibility.
<Seraphna> Alita> "I knew it couldn't be so easy..."
<DeathStar> <Undine> Two essences in a jar does not fill it easily. Look at Gwen and Qui
<DeathStar> <Undine> Now that they are separate, they are still recovering
<DeathStar> <Undine> Typically, one knocks the other out
<Seraphna> Alita> "Assuming the Magi left the spirit of the woman in her body."
<Seraphna> Alita> "If he can hop bodies, I don't think expunging a soul is a huge leap in magical technique."
<Sara> <Liana> Or morality...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "That is irrelevant either way. The magi's spirit would undoubtedly be the stronger."
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia shifts, looking uncomfortable
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen returns slowly with kiddy drawing
<DeathStar> *Undine wraps up the body, vanishing for now*
<Seraphna> * Alita nods to Gwen. "We should leave, and do brainstorming after."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *he shows Sasha a child's sketch drawing of a brown haired woman with mid-length hair, blue eyes, a nice smile*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> The female magi. Though I doubt she kept that nice smile
<DeathStar> <Gwen> If your theory is right
<Seraphna> * Alita nods. She holds out a hand for the drawing.
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen hands it over
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I would have preferred to end this case this day. I guess I have bad news for my Queen
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen climbs up on his horse
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I hope my theory is wrong and that the magi is indded gone..."
<Seraphna> * Alita puts it in a folio carefully and peers around, looking to Salamander. "We should go." *she looks back to Gwen* "Safe travels old friend."
<kalonLappy> 6*Ceilia smiles and waves goodbye to Gwen
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You too. Maybe one day I can rejoin the Academy
<Sara> <Liana> Please take care, Gwen... *she doesn't add that she misses him even though it's true*
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen waves back
<Seraphna> Alita> "Please do keep in touch."
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen gives Liana a smile
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I will
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander gathers her charges
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Be well, Gwen."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You two, Commander. *He rides northward*
<Seraphna> * Alita moves over to Salamander.
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander heads back for the Academy
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back on the stool as the cops question the people there.
<DeathStar> 6* William Tell moves about, the chief investigator for the police, and he collects information. So far he's remained a little suspicious of the group
<Seraphna> * Luci has done her best to be respectful and not an old lady in a young body for Asarar's sake. Cooperating and telling their simple truth that he died suddenly and it looked like a heart attack, if asked.
<DeathStar> 6* The police begin to lift the body up, their scans coming back a heart attack just like the group's
<kalonLappy> 6*Max cooperates with the cops for once, also answering the same as Luci
<DeathStar> 6* Tell moves over, his clothes dumpy and wrinkled
<DeathStar> <Tell> So, you telling me this Riki girl who approached him had no vendettas?
<DeathStar> <Tell> I heard tell he really liked the furry girls
<DeathStar> 6* He chews on some gum
<GhostChain> 6*Wolfe huffs as he rubs Riki's shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar's eyes, glowing, refuses to take the bait like her counterpart, merely sipping her drink. "They never met before tonight; infact, he never came into this club before tonight. Plus, she was 7 feet away at the point he collapsed."
<DeathStar> 6* Riki trembles and leans against Wolfe
<DeathStar> <Tell> They say he reached out to her.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Wouldn't you reach out for help if you felt yourself giving out?
<Sara> * Chelsea goes about her business maintaining things in the kitchen
<DeathStar> 6* Tell inclines his head toward Ylva at that, taking notes
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> its gonna be ok Riki
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> If one is falling, it's only natural to reach out to stop it
<DeathStar> <Tell> I've noticed that your place has had run-ins with the law before. 6* Referring to Pocco and whatnot
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Do you really consider those incidents the "law"?
<kalonLappy> 6*Jan comes up and rubs Riki's back comfortingly
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar notes simply.
<Seraphna> Luci> "I know if I was scared I'd reach out for someone to help me..." *she pouts*
<DeathStar> 6* Riki sniffles and nods
<Seraphna> * Luci gives Riki a hug.
<Kemonohime> * Ylva moves to pet Riki
<DeathStar> 6* Riki nuzzles them all and wags at Ylva, hugging
<Jackieness> <Kira> "You mean the guy that jumped over to the psychocops and tried to put the real police out of work?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir peeks over a counter at Tell, who is peering at Asarar
<DeathStar> <Tell> That's the one
<DeathStar> 6* Tell studies Kira. "You telling me he had a grudge or something?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think Wolfe, who has a room here, pissed on his boot once
<Seraphna> Luci> "He did seem to have it out for this place."
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> it wasnt that
<DeathStar> <Tell> Oh?
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> he was just...obsessive over seeing me naked
<DeathStar> *He tips his fedora back*
<DeathStar> <Tell> Oh. He was that type huh
<DeathStar> 6* Tell jots that into his report
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> and 'capturing'me
<Seraphna> Luci> "Still in the closet I guess."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "That guy hasn't been in here in months though."
<DeathStar> <Tell> Well, some police like to use their power to play out power fantasies. But he was the most sane of his three brothers
<GhostChain> <Wolfe>....come again?
<DeathStar> <Tell> I'd watch out for Losco and Rosco.
<kalonLappy> <Max> Wait, "most" sane?
<DeathStar> <Tell> They're also officers in other Quads
<Seraphna> Luci> "There's MORE of them?"
<GhostChain> <Wolfe>....what are they like
<DeathStar> <Tell> Hm. I hear they might be coming here because the other quads can't stand them. Something about live chickens and teeth
<DeathStar> 6* Tell shrugs, jotting notes
<kalonLappy> <Max> I-
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Yay." *does the finger swirly*
<GhostChain> <Wolfe>I-
<DeathStar> <Tell> I think there's even a sister, too. Never could tell she was related. Sweet girl
<GhostChain> <Wolfe>SAY MAX, GOOD FRIEND, COMPANDRE WE NEED TO CHAT
<DeathStar> <Tell> Wouldn't be surprised if she changed her name by now
<GhostChain> 6*Wolfe drags Max aside
<DeathStar> 6* Tell glances at his radio as it buzzes
<kalonLappy> 6*Max is dragged
<Sara> * Chelsea peeks out from the kitchen
<DeathStar> 6* Tell listens to the radio, then his face grows more dower, then somber
<DeathStar> <Tell> Well, good news and bad news
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What is the good news?
<DeathStar> <Tell> You are all cleared of any suspicion
<DeathStar> 6* Tell motions to his men to clear out with the body
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Another identical death?"
<DeathStar> <Tell> About 15,
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Fifteen?"
<Seraphna> Luci> "That's... nuts... a serial killer?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> Don't tell me they're all important people too...
<Seraphna> Luci> "Or people with reputations maybe?"
<DeathStar> <Tell> All high ranking corporate people in the limelight. We're still trying to find out who all was hit. Right now, all we have is a single message that just hit the news station, so we're going to have mass panic soon
<DeathStar> 6* Tell grabs his stuff
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And what was that message?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We'll probably find out soon."
<Seraphna> Luci> *frowns and rubs her hands together a bit*
<kalonLappy> <Max> What are you dragging me off for, dog?
<DeathStar> <Tell> "To those who have a hand in the despoilation of Geyze, you will die by the hands of avenger of the spirits. I can see your spirit names, all you have turned your backs on them."
<DeathStar> <Tell> I need to get out there and stay ahead of this
<DeathStar> 6* Tell exits
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And the cray-cray begins."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *she looks at Kira* What?
<Sara> * Chelsea jerks
<Seraphna> Luci> "She means a crazy person is doing things."
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> look Otto isnt here and if Posco's like his brothers I need to have someone I'm 'interested' in, and as much as I love my girls youre about as big as me
<kalonLappy> <Max> ...You... can't be serious.
<Seraphna> Luci> "But by the sound of that, the person has some sort of spirit power and is using it to target people responsible for... Geyze mining operations?"
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> that and maybe we should consider if shit goes bad to go to my mom's
<kalonLappy> <Max> You do realize I am getting married soon, right?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarar, check the club net-side to see if wee got infiltrated that way."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar turns on the news, where they are discussing just what the message means, and what are Spirit Names. Some people are bringing up Geyzw Legends where Spirits give you a name in your soul that you should never share, and most Kumens do not believe in
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> no offence but your bride seems to have no issue with the idea of us man kissing
<GhostChain> 6*he holds up crayon drawings
<DeathStar> 6* Many on the news are calling the whole thing a hoax and that the killer find a normal means to kill the 16 people
<kalonLappy> <Max> No but I have an issue with it.
<GhostChain> <Wolfe> if anything I think she's trying to make it happen
<Seraphna> Luci> "I've heard of this before... but when I heard of it people called it 'True Names'... must be a name that changes with the times."
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir leans against Ylva
<DeathStar> <Ymir> I'm scared
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki walks up to Erica to talk to her about earlier when red lights begin to flicker, indicating something is going on
<Sara> * Erica jerks and blinks, glancing around quickly.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Umm... Danger!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Samson crosses his arms, eyeing as the news pops up, playing the news from back home about the True Names situation.
<kalonLappy> 6*Gor walks out of his and Kitty's room... only wearing pants
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... the Aquarius was implicated in the bombing of Geyze, Erica. You're the Captain of the Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki looks at Erica
<Jackieness> <Airym> *checks the readouts on the display*
<Sara> <Erica> ...Great. *she slumps just a bit*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "But... there's no way the creepy murder thing can come all the way out here right?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> If they know her True Name
<DeathStar> 6* A few minutes pass, and nothing happens
<Sara> * Erica looks at Yuki
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Is there any way to defend against it?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... nothing
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *she checks the crew, while peering up at the staticy news report*
<Seraphna> * Cookie looks around. "Maybe they don't know her true name?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Spirit energy aboard this ship is extremely weak. The captian may be safe as long as she does not go planetside."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I don't know. That might not be it. Spirit energy wouldn't stop something if you know they're true/spirit name, right>?
<Sara> * Erica stays with Yuki for the moment, seeming surprisingly stoic about all of this -- she has a good poker face
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So how did someone get 16 people, yet can't get Erica?
<Seraphna> Cookie> "...Would waking up that egg make it worse? Or better? A spirit can help protect against spirit stuff right?"
<Sara> <Erica> Guess I'm just not on their list.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki slumps in relief
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Maybe they don't believe the corporation claims about the Aquarius."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "The creepy murder person."
<Sara> <Erica> They're going after Corporation chairmen or something? There's no way I'd be on a list like that.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> To be safe, we should probably not contact Kumen again. We don't know how they can get us
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I don't want to chance us
<Sara> <Erica> An unfortunate but very prudent conclusion, my Yu.
<Seraphna> Cookie> *nods* "At least until we figure out a defense."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *she begins to disconnect all the news channels*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Airym, let Sen know we won't be contacting again
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I can... try and amp up my precog senses to feel anything bad coming."
<Sara> <Erica> We're fugitives of sorts anyway, it would seem...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Until we know how this works
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Though the nightmares tend to be taxing..."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am sending the message now."
<DeathStar> 6* The message continues to ping, Sen not responding
<Seraphna> * Cookie tenses. "U-Umm... Sen wasn't on the list right?"
<Sara> * Erica bites her lip. "Don't say such things."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki closes her eyes. "Disconnect the channel, Airym."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Right now, Erica, Cookie, Saoirse, Airym, all of you are my priority. I can't let your Spirit Name be learned."
<DeathStar> 6* Yulindhe listens quietly, pondering
<Seraphna> * Cookie holds her head, visibly stopping herself from letting out a wave of empathic anxiety.
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> You mean the names in your heart?
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki jumps, used to her always being quiet and around Saoirse
<Jackieness> <Airym> *ends the transmission*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki hangs off a chair, cursing silently
<Sara> * Erica peers at Yulindhe stoicly
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse hasn't returned
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> I can see them. *she notes softly* They are right there.
<Sara> <Erica> <It'll be okay, Yu. The most important thing we can do right now is not let ourselves panic, even if it looks like things have gone to hell again.>
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Great. So you're telling me if some spirit went rogue, they could tell anyone?
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki tilts her head
