<DeathStar> <Narrator> This world...
<DeathStar> <Narrator> It is a beautiful and crazy world me and my lover found ourselves thrown into after Centerpoint collapsed and broke apart.
<DeathStar> <Narrator> Sometimes, I wonder if the dream makes the dreamer or does the dreamer make the dream?
* Sathen has joined #DualSession116
<DeathStar> <Narrator> I have been hiding my real name and job the last few narrations because I no longer believe, my dear daughter, you will be the one who is listening to this. As things are falling apart around us, and things get ever so closer, I have to wonder, who will listen to this story?
<DeathStar> <Narrator> As the groups came to me to talk about the spirit situation, we decided it was time to tell a little more about this world
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar adjusts her coat as she walks with Kitty and whoever else came with her, parking the van with a jerk
<Sara> <Chelsea> Ack!
<Seraphna> * Luci adjusts her armor and the bracer under her coat that holds her shield.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Sorry, the van's been acting up since the fire fight
<DeathStar> 6* She steps out.
<Sara> <Chelsea> S-Sure... I-I guess that makes sense. *she steps out too*
<kalonLappy> 6*Max steps out, hammer and sword at the ready
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Need to get it worked on." *steps out* "Can't risk having the engine drop out in a getaway."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks up the ramp toward the tower, the guards there with their armored up bodies and masks, peering at them with visors. They scan the groups' datareaders, Asarar's hand glowing
<Seraphna> * Luci hops out, keeping her gear concealed.
<Sathen> *Jelly just listens in through somebody's datareader, having stayed back at the Club to continue looking into a possible 4th Corporation behind the launch*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks along after Asarar, hands in the pockets of her coat*
<DeathStar> <Guard> You can enter. One of your own is already up top
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar raises a brow and steps into the elevator
<Seraphna> * Luci raises a brow too, and heads onto the elevator.
<Sara> * Chelsea raises an eyebrow too, but heads after Asarar
<kalonLappy> <Max> Okaaaay.... 6*He heads after Asarar
<Chain> 6*Kitty blinks as she follows
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans against the elevator, adjusting her coat. One of the guards peers over Kira's school girl outfit
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Eyes up, soldier." *moves into the elevator*
<Sathen> Jelly (c) Wait...what? Somebody we know is already there? Who?
<Seraphna> * Luci waggles her eyebrows at the guard.
<kalonLappy> <Max> <Are you flirting with the guard?>
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator pad rises up the pyramid structure, taking the tower that is on the side of it
<Seraphna> Luci> <I am speaking ancient languages passed down by perverts, sharing in the enjoyment of Kira's sexy costume.>
<DeathStar> 6* Kitty's sprites play about on the elevator, covering their eyes whenever someone looks at them, then advancing on the person when they look away. BonBon sits on Chel's shoulder in cat form
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator plays boring elevator tunes
<kalonLappy> <Max> This station sucks. Can we change it?
<Chain> <Kitty> come on now, behave
<DeathStar> 6* A screen showing advertisements from Nue Age's new make up line that is coming out soon, promising to make you look young and feel young
<Seraphna> * Luci plays peekaboo with one.
<Chain> 6*Kitty talks to them like theyre her kids
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* You know, I hate it when you people ignore me...do I have to do something to make you answer me?
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites swirl back over to Kitty, hiding in her clothes, seemingly vanishing
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We don't know, Jelly
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Otherwise we would have
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* Thanks Boss Lady.
<Seraphna> Luci> For all we know it could be you, Jelly. Craft foxy boy.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator reaches the top, and the elevators slide open to reveal Sen, her pregnancy definitely showing now in her maid outfit. She waves them to follow her
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* No...I gotta slow your elevator so I can hide now!
<DeathStar> <Sen> Welcome. Come this way.
<Seraphna> * Luci blinks and steps out to follow.
<kalonLappy> 6*Max follows
<Chain> 6*Kitty walks along after them
<DeathStar> 6* Sen walks along, leading them into the pyramid structure itself, moving to where a pool full of nymphs are playing. There, they see Ylva and Ymir, who somehow went from their bar, to here, before them.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks along and double-takes* "What happened here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir sits, her tail teasing the nymphs, working on a large device, trying to figure out the spirit problem
<DeathStar> <Sen> Somehow these nymphs came from Captain Erica's ship who is docked above
<DeathStar> <Sen> Well, was docked above. They are finishing up a meeting.
<Seraphna> * Luci holds up a finger. "How...."
<DeathStar> 6* Tora is sitting at her desk, finishing talking into a modified datapad before setting it down and rising.
<kalonLappy> <Max> Don't ask
<Sara> <Chelsea> She kinda already did.
<Sathen> *Jelly just keeps working to see if he can find traces, however faint, of a 4th Corp in the Net while he listens in* *c* Um...what now?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It seems to be two of our Corporate bosses
<Seraphna> Luci> "I was gonna ask about Ymir and Ylva beating us here."
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be absolutely no sign of a 4th Corporate spy, whatsoever.
<kalonLappy> <Max> Don't. It's a secret
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Can tell
<DeathStar> <Ymir> For pets.
<kalonLappy> <Max> Just like it's a secret that you like to-
<Chain> 6*Kitty pets
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir looks up from her work
<DeathStar> <Ymir> *purrs* Took corporate shuttle
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Zoom zoom, fast.
<Chain> 6*Kitty rubs belly
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir wags, rolling over happily
<Sathen> Jelly> *C* Oh, so it's the so called twins, gotcha...
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We came to talk about the events going on, but I see we were beat.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits down at a table Tora provides
<Chain> 6*Kitty sits as well
<Sara> * Chel sits
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar makes note to "Borrow" the Macross shuttle
<DeathStar> <Tora> Well, what can I do for you, everyone?
<kalonLappy> <Max> Whis... water.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, we came because of Losco
<kalonLappy> 6*He promised Luci he wouldn't drink as long as she was pregnant
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she looks at her team* Kitty probably can explain best
<Seraphna> Luci> "Jerk's threatening to buy out the land around us and bulldoze us for the spirits."
<DeathStar> 6* Sen provides drinks and water
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or that works
<Seraphna> Luci> "I am something of a wordsmith."
<kalonLappy> <Max> <This is all a ploy to get me to stop drinking entirely before the kitten is born isn't it?>
<Chain> <Kitty> This pontz comes in and tried to just take the sprites...6*since that was kinda glossed over
<DeathStar> 6* Tora nods, listening. "I take it most of the land around you isn't owned and that you can't afford to buy up the property."
<Sathen> *Jelly looks over at a separate hack he's working on, to pull up all of the police activity Losco has been involved in no matter how shady*
<Chain> <Kitty> throws around his name and badge, intimidate and once we didnt back down he threatens to just but the strip and take by force and of course
<Chain> 6*Kitty eye rolls
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* I like her...she gets straight to the point!
<Chain> <Kitty> "you dont know who youre messing with"
<DeathStar> 6* Losco's Corporate Police files come up. It seems he's rather clean, if brutual. With a few questionablely rough ways to achieving his goals
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Could always let me clean their house."
<DeathStar> <Tora> I am surprised he backed down. Sen?
<Sathen> *Jelly continues searching through the Police Database for any complaints against Losco, whether they've been dismissed or not*
<DeathStar> *Sen nods and brings up a screen, where the rebel Corporations announced that their plans to the citizens to take the sprites to help achieve their goals*
<DeathStar> <Sen> It seems it's becoming law there to take the spirits
<DeathStar> 6* There's been a few complaints to the police, but the Corporate Police basically shut them up
<Seraphna> * Luci sighs. "This is getting rediculous."
<DeathStar> <Sen> They are claiming the sprites are mindless.
<Sathen> *Jelly checks to ensure his connection hasn't been detected before looking for the details on the complaints*
<kalonLappy> <Max> If you spend 30 seconds around them you know that's BS
<Seraphna> Luci> "They claim a lot of things that aren't true and get away with it all the time."
<DeathStar> 6* The police files have a layer of defense that a mod would be needed to access
<Sathen> Jelly> *C* Mindless. That pogo-stick of a jackass's brother was more 'mindless' than the sparks.
<Seraphna> Luci> "There's a layer of defense the executive branch can't access?"
<DeathStar> (Don't let Jelly's side stuff confuse the main plot)
<Sathen> ((thats in regards to my hack, not the exec's))
<Seraphna> Luci> "Wait, why am I acting surprised?"
<Seraphna> ((oops))
<Seraphna> ((Scratch those lines then))
<DeathStar> (*Thumps you both*)
<DeathStar> 6* Tora clears her throat
<DeathStar> <Tora> I am guessing you want money or something to try to buy your neighborhood?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Personally, I'd rather just make it too expensive for them to continue their plan."
<DeathStar> <Tora> And how would you propose that?
<Seraphna> <Luci> "Something. Anything really."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Break their machines, torch their assets, early-retire their managers, etcetera etcetera."
<DeathStar> <Tora> That seems impractical. Frankly
<Sathen> *Jelly grumbles about paranoid cops before using Hacking Implant Lv. Max to get past their firewalls* *C* Not sure if that's possible, don't they control the cost of the area? Better option would be to lower the price to dirt-cheap, then stall their bid and we swoop in to nab it.
<DeathStar> <Tora> The area is in rebellion, and they'll just shut down your place of operations. It won't take much to figure out where the source of problems is coming from
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I meant blow up their entire board of directors too, but whatever."
<DeathStar> <Tora> I can't use my army as well as I could in my past - I don't know how many sympathize and want spirits, so I can't help
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar studies Kira
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* Wait, I thought we weren't in the business of corporate destruction like that...
<DeathStar> <Tora> And then what? What is your end game? The people of Area 5 suddenly cheer for you? They might turn against you if you killed them all
<kalonLappy> <Max> Kira, that's insane.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Plus one of the other Corporations might just take over once the previous Corporations fall - assuming you could accomplish it without them bringing all their Tech Runners, their men and forces.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Ok, fine... we'll do it the the sane way."
<Seraphna> Luci> "What we need, is a means to keep people off our backs."
<Sathen> *Jelly on a whim looks up the current market values for the surrounding blocks around the Club*
<Seraphna> Luci> "Is there a way we can get Ani-Mon to let us do our own thing?"
<DeathStar> <Tora> I can give you some money to try to buy it, but in the end they want sprites for experiments. <Sen> ... *She seems to be thinking hard* Tora... it might be time to talk about... it.
<Sara> <Chelsea> I guess in the worst case we could always look for somewhere better... *she notes to the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks at Chelsea, and makes a face.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I suppose
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir's ears perk up at Sen
<Seraphna> Luci> *frowns a little* "It's home... but what're we gonna do."
<DeathStar> <Tora> ...
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* Um...wait, what?
<Chain> <Kitty> what is 'it'
<DeathStar> <Tora> Come, if we are going to discuss this, we should do it with a view. *She seems a bit reserved now, rising from her seat, her fox ears ticking as she walks away. Sen watches her go up some stairs to a higher height*
<kalonLappy> 6*Max blinks, following
<DeathStar> <Sen> Forgive her, what she is about to talk about is not something that will come easier
<Chain> 6*Kitty rises and follows
<DeathStar> 6* Tora takes a datapad, much like Yuki's group has, and uses it to contact Erica's group
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Club
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki steps into the club, wearing a ridiculously sized coat
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher sits at the bar still, with communications open so she can listen in on the group that is gone. Yuki's ears twitch toward them
<DeathStar> <Yuki> <I'll try to see if I can convince Cam to come with me>
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki walks along all non-chalant
<Sara> <Erica> <Go for it, Yu.>
<DeathStar> 6* Outside the club, Losco's group returns, with even more cars
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers around all disguised cleverly too.
<DeathStar> 6* Samson points at the Virgo's sensors. "Captain, the Cypher Club is being surrounded."
<Sathen> *Jelly blinks as the exterior cameras show the arrival* *c* Oh crap...shit head cop has returned with even more of his goon squad...
<Sara> <Erica> Bloody hell.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Umm... what'd..."
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> I'm guessing I can't just take care of them without something getting worse, huh?
<Sathen> *Jelly sends a signal to Cypher downstairs as well as any other staff to get somewhere secure and to usher the Sprites with them*
<DeathStar> 6* Jelly's readings of the market value show that the surrounding area is quite poor, with buildings costing about 50,000 - 100,000 credits to buy due to how run down they are, and the electricity is usually 1,000 a month - the club is much higher due to the height
<Sara> <Erica> That's... bad. "Something getting worse"... I don't think we have a choice here. If we did nothing, it'd be every bit as much the case.
<Sara> * Erica cracks her knuckles
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher hops out and starts trying to corral them, but Losco aims a gun at her
<DeathStar> <Losco> We have a warrant this time. Stop in the name of the law or be arrested.
<Seraphna> * Cookie frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki meanwhile drags Cam out the side door
<Sara> <Erica> <Yu, status?>
<DeathStar> <Samson> Who knows. We are part of a group that isn't associated with the club
<DeathStar> <Samson> So you could probably attack them without worrying. They are rebelling against us, after all
<Sara> <Erica> I'm eager to get my fist nice into someone's face.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> <I'm out of the building with Cam. I told her we were taking her to Cookies>
<Sara> <Erica> <Roger. Stay safe.>
<DeathStar> 6* Losco eyes the 30 cops snapping whips around sprites and carrying them to their armored cars, the gun sitll on her. Losco just smiles cruelly
<Sathen> *Jelly hits record on the cameras as ques Cypher* *c* Duck and Cover!!!
<Sara> <Erica> I say we see if we can't squash this rebellion a little bit more, mates.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "You're the Captain."
<DeathStar> 6* Samson nods and brings the Virgo in on them. Losco pauses and looks up, as Cypher ducks down
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Lemme know if you want me to spook them. I have something appropriate in mind."
<Sara> <Erica> Give it a go.
<DeathStar> 6* Samson fires rockets at a few of the armored cars, blowing them up. He grins a bit wildly
<DeathStar> <Samson> Ho ho ho
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods and uses Mental Tricks Lv. 2 to make a nearby parked car suddenly appear to be a less than happy, huge spirit at the cops.
<DeathStar> 6* The cops whip their cat, trying to lasso
<DeathStar> *car too
<Sara> * Erica smirks with approval at them
<Sathen> *Jelly watches on the Cameras and sends a signal to Cypher to retreat into the Club while the cops are distracted attacking their own car*
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher grabs a few sprites and moves inside
<DeathStar> 6* Samson lands the Virgo, opening the hatch up so Erica can punch people
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki flees in with Cam'dee, who looks around for her cookies.
<Sara> * Erica laughs, grinning big as she rushes out and tackles a cop
<Sara> <Erica> 'sup, crookeds!
<DeathStar> 6* The cop makes a noise, falling into a rut. The sprite he had flees off, squealing
<Seraphna> * Cookie forms her guns and leaps out, aiming shots at the nearest two cops Erica isn't smothering.
<DeathStar> 6* The two cops go down, and more sprites flee. Cam'dee watches all this with a strange expression at them freeing sprites. And Yuki pats her.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> See? People do care.
<Sara> * Erica looks around for Losco, ready to attack
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander appears and drops Kaylin from 60 feet in the air down on some cops.
<DeathStar> 6* Losco has jumped onto the last remaining armored vehicle, and is retreating, talking into his data-reader about the attack
<Seraphna> * Cookie focuses on Losco and uses Scramble Slam to stun him as he drives. Bad to loose control after all.
<Sara> <Erica> *comm* Hey, the leader's taking off.
<DeathStar> 6* Samson lifts the Virgo and takes after him, jerking Yuki and Cam about in the back
<Sara> * Erica punches the cop she tackled clean in the jaw, then gets up and goes for another
<DeathStar> 6* Three cops surround Erica, shouting derogatively insults, since this is the whore district
<Sathen> *Kaylin eeps softly as she pulls her SMG's while falling, finding her ship mates locaters in regards to combatants; firing off a couple bursts at some more of the cops before landing*
<Seraphna> * Cookie then spins and fires at two more cops, two of the ones on Erica.
<Sara> <Erica> Oh yeah? Well your mom didn't seem to mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Losco jerks, but since he isn't driving, he just jerks about on top of it
<Sara> * Erica leaps at a cop and goes straight for the jugular.
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse calls on Yulindhe to merge so she has breathing room to stalk and hunt the Losco group without killing them or getting herself hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Cookie shoots two in the back, making them stumble, then Kaylin shoots them down into the mud. Erica then rips out the jugular of the remaining one
<Sara> * Erica looks at the blood on her hand. "Whoops."
<Sathen> Kaylin> Retreating vehicle, Shall I dispatch it Captain? *putting an SMG away and reforming it into something with considerably more firepower*
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse blinks, since she was intending to go unlethal.
<Sara> <Erica> *comm* Try to disable it.
<Sara> <Erica> Virgo is in pursuit.
<Sara> (Silly me, no comm needed)
<DeathStar> 6* YUlindhe and Erica form into a spirit and glows, floating. Samson rams into Losco's vehicle, knocking it off road into an abandoned park
<Sara> *Yulindhe and Saoirse?
<DeathStar> *er, yeah
<Sathen> *Kaylin levels a rifle that seems to weigh a good 80 lbs, aiming and tracking for a second before lowering it since Samson has accomplished it*
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher goes up to Jelly and sits in the office
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse focuses on routing the remaining ground soldiers since they appear to be rolling Losco's vehicle, making it a point to round them up and not kill them.
<Seraphna> * Cookie spins her guns and peers for more targets, ushering the spirits with a thought to retreat inside.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We had nothing to do with this. Send that out. *She eyes the dead people outside the front door*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We can't afford troopers on our front door
<Sathen> *Jelly continues to watch from the Cameras, already opening up a Net port to stream it out* Way ahead of you...
<Sara> <Erica> Looks like the enemy forces are largely neutralized. Let's regroup with the Virgo.
<Sara> <Erica> Deal with the 'big boy'.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Okies."
<Sara> * Erica starts heading that way
<Seraphna> * Cookie heads after her, peering around for a ride.
<DeathStar> 6* The troopers surrender to spirit Saorise. Samson then rolls the Losco vehicle, crushing him beneath it and traps him. He then lands and waits on them. At that moment Sen sends the join her message
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Huh, that was fast."
<Sara> * Erica hops in as she gets there, wiping her hands off on something.
<Sara> <Erica> Damn, I didn't mean to rip out his arteries...
<Sathen> *Kaylin hoists the rifle that easily weighs as much as she does, walking quietly along as she peers at them* Interesting, we have become vigilanties and are fighting the quadrant police now?
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Remind me to be careful around you when you're flailing."
<Sara> <Erica> The police here are with the rebellion after all.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki looks dizzy in the back of the Virgo, laying on top of Cam. She seems to have missed all the fighting being thrown about
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I-I achieved my mission... I got...Cam?
<Seraphna> Cookie> "What should we do with the rebel ringleader?"
<Sara> <Erica> Good work, Yu. *she pats her... then notices the message*
<Sathen> Kaylin> Understood, they're hereby designated as hostile combatants.
<Sara> <Erica> Leave 'im. I think he'll think twice.
<DeathStar> 6* Losco glares at them, struggling in the mud
<Seraphna> Cookie> "By his mind I think he'll probably actually just get mad and try to get revenge."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "We could detain him as a terrorist."
<Sara> <Erica> Sure, why not?
<Sara> <Erica> Book 'im, Cookie.
<Sathen> *Kaylin turns and lowers her weapon towards Losco under the vehicle* Can't I just shoot him?
<Sara> <Erica> Maybe later.
<Sathen> Kaylin> I've been wanting to use this one for a while...
<Sara> * Erica moves to check Sen's message, then nods afterward. "Looks like we've got out next destination."
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods and grabs some cuffs from the shuttle and goes to mentally knock him out before cuffing him and using Mind Over Matter to dig him out and drag him to the shuttle.
<Sathen> *Kaylin will stow her 20 mic-mic and help Cookie*
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> You're a private security force under that lug, right?" She asks the ones she rounded.
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> How was the pay?
<Seraphna> * Cookie secures their prisoner, none to comforterably but in a way his probably broken body won't kill him and sits.
<DeathStar> <Losco> You all will pay for this. I'm Corporate Police. That means I'm the offical police, not private security
<Sara> <Erica> Everyone secured? Agent, take us out. Destination: the tower.
<DeathStar> 6* He bleeds, glaring at them. "We serve and protect where the police can't."
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> Right, the definition of 'private security.'
<DeathStar> <Losco> You all will burn for this
<Sathen> *Kaylin will move to stand guard over Losco, pulling one of her SMG's again and regarding him* Silence, before the Captain gives me clearance to empty a magazine into you.
<DeathStar> <Losco> *he spits blood in Kaylin's face*
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> So as I was saying; How was the pay, any of you have family?
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse eyes the non-Loscos
<Sara> * Erica smears some blood on Losco's face in retalliation. "Don't."
<DeathStar> <Losco> My remaining brother will get you for this.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Sathen> *Kaylin smiles sweetly*
<DeathStar> Location: The Presidential Tower
<DeathStar> *er, the Aquarius first
<DeathStar> 6* The Virgo Parks into the docking bay, since the Aquarius is docked at the tower
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki walks with Cam.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Cam, if you can wait here, we will talk more. I promise.
<DeathStar> <Cam'dee> Back here again... *she shudders*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It's just a short time while we see what President Tora wants.
<DeathStar> <Cam'dee> Fine. *She walks off to find a room*
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Hello, Miss Yuki. ..
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *she messages Miyuki that they have Cam on board, though she likely knows*
<Kemonohime> * Ylva she eyes Cam'dee, as if wanting to say something, but hesitates for some reason.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki asks for her to come and see her
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *jumps at Ylva being on board the ship, though with it being docked, she can walk on board*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Oh, hi. Lady Ylva, right?
<kalonLappy> 6*Gor works on various engineer things, on autopilot
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> ... Yes. Never mind, you look a little rough around the edges. I guess something happened.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "We brought a present."
<Sara> * Erica finishes wiping blood off of her hands, though can't get out some that's on her shirt
<DeathStar> 6* Cam pauses, then walks toward Miyuki. Samson moves to the bridge. Yuki walks with Ylva toward the tower.
<Sathen> *Kaylin hands Losco off to some additional security on the ship after ensuring he's completely unarmed*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We had a firefight
<DeathStar> <Losco> You all are making a big mistake!
<Chain> <Miyuki>...what.happened.down. there
<Kemonohime> * Ylva hands Yuki a teacup she was holding, and hands Cam'Dee a small tiramisu cake.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki's tone is ice
<Seraphna> * Cookie eyes Losco. "Quiet or you will spend the rest of your life thinking you're a kitty cat."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki jerks and hides behind Ylva
<DeathStar> <Cam> Thank you... *She bites into the cake*
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Hm, by the sound of that voice I believe I have some idea of what happened.
<Chain> <Miyuki> Answer me
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Relative of Posco?
<DeathStar> <Losco> *he rambles to Miyuki about everything and that her threats will do no good*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "A bunch of cops showed up and were hurting spirits, they pointed guns, and well, we responded to active rebel movements."
<Chain> <Miyuki> SHUT UP YOU MISERABLE WASTE OF AIR AND CARBON
<Sathen> *Kaylin goes deer-in-the-headlights as she freezes in front of Miyuki*
<DeathStar> 6* Losco goes silent
<Chain> <Miyuki> Yuki, Erica. What.happened
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> ..." She blinks at Miyuki, the hair on her ears and tail standing on end despite her calm, deadpan expression.
<kalonLappy> 6*Gor blinks, moving towards the source of the excitement
<DeathStar> 6* Tora winces, having heard that in her office
<DeathStar> <Yuki> When we picked up Cam'dee, Losco showed up to take the sprites. A firefight ensued.
<Sara> <Erica> The Club was being raided. Our attempts to stop it may have gone a little over.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Miss Yuki, I recommend the tea for your nerves... I'm going to have a word with Miss Cam'dee if you do not mind...
<Chain> <
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sips the tea, just nodding
<DeathStar> <Cam> I seem....to be very popular...
<Chain> 6*Miyuki eyes Losco then the pair
<Chain> <Miyuki> I imagine he said he had a warrent
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> You're very special and unique.
<Sathen> Kaylin> I...I didn't...I'm sorry? *she offers*
<Chain> <Miyuki> did you actually SEE it? Read it?
<Seraphna> Cookie> "From a corporation currently in rebellion."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "And nope! He didn't show it. Just his gun."
<Sara> <Erica> We didn't see a warrant, but he IS working for the rebels.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Actually, he did show it. To Cypher.
<Sara> <Erica> Hm.
<DeathStar> *She rubs the back of her head, ha ha haing*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "He... did? I just saw the gun pointing."
<Chain> <Miyuki> ARE YOU ALL FUCKING INEPT
<Seraphna> * Cookie is being honest.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> My sister and I are performing some research hoping to improve the status quo for synthetic spirits and Kumen alike in a beneficial way rather than forced. Yourself, the hybrid types that follow the captain and her other as well as the great spirits are important to it.
<Sara> * Erica stares
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *winces*
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks.
<Chain> <Miyuki> if you didnt see a warrent, why did you just jump to violence, enough to draw BLOOD
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse sits and has a chat with the non-Loscos, maybe.
<Sara> <Erica> Thaaat... was an accident.
<Chain> <Miyuki>DO YOU HACE ANY IDEA HOW THIS MAKES US ALL LOOK
<Sathen> Kaylin> I wasn't there at the time! *Drops to her knees in the traditional japanese manner and bows* I just appeared due to the Firey one...and they were already fighting! I'm sorry!
<DeathStar> <Cam> You are?
<Sara> * Erica sighs and rubs her head
<Seraphna> Cookie> "They were already resorting to violence against the spirits." *she says softly* "They were enjoying it too."
<Chain> <Miyuki>AFTER EVERY MEETING AFTER EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *stands there stoically, holding Erica's hand, squeezing it*
<kalonLappy> 6*Gor winces at that, and he wasn't even part of it
<Kemonohime> * Ylva nods. "With the cooperation of the president here, I am using their research as a basis for something less intrusive to the end result. Your circumstances must be avoided in the future, and Kumen needs to become self-sufficient. Would you not agree?"
<Chain> <Miyuki> You TAINTED every SINGLE THING we have been working on
<Sara> <Erica> Look, I'm not happy with this result either. I primarily wanted to stop them, and rough them up a bit for going this far.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> If possible, I would like your cooperation as all, but I will not require it. You are your own person and deserve the rights of choice.
<DeathStar> <Cam> I.. I will think about it. *she bows* I have a lot to atone for.
<Chain> <Miyuki> we will now look like aggressors, bullies, this adds FIRE to their side
<Sara> <Erica> What's done is done and we're going to have to figure out how we can fix this.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "We can't undo it. Just like we wouldn't be able to undo what they were doing to the spirits."
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Be that as it may, assisting in a secured future would be a good start.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The Club will back us up. We were not the bullies there. They were aiming weapons at people.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And whipping sprites.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We messed up. Yes.
<Kemonohime> * Ylva nods, bowing in return to Cam'Dee. "I won't take up more of your time. Please think upon your own decision."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "And they enjoyed it."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> But we can only move on. Yelling at us we will not solve anything, aunt.
<Seraphna> * Cookie eyes Losco. "This one especially."
<Chain> <Miyuki> Yuki, you asked me to come here and help you do this
<Chain> <Miyuki> to be diplomatic about it
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yes. If you want to disassociate yourself because of our mistake, I understand
<Sathen> *Jelly meanwhile highlights certain aspects of the video footage, such as Losco aiming a gun at an unidentified female with long hair who obviously had no weapons*
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> Finally arrives from the Virgo and pauses. "... Hm, this feels awkward, usually I'm the one getting yelled at... Hey, Sen, you here?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It can be seen as a Kumen vs. Kumen matter.
<Sathen> *Kaylin still is bowed down on the hangar floor before Miyuki*
<Chain> <Miyuki> I am honestly, disgustingly dissapointed in you Yuki
<Seraphna> * Cookie takes in a breath.
<Sara> <Erica> If I may, Yuki had no part in this except the rescue of Cam'dee.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Fair enough. I am willing to move on without berating constantly
<Sara> <Erica> If you must judge someone in my crew, let it be me as their leader.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki walks off to meet the president
<Seraphna> Cookie> "What do you want me to do with the rebel, Captain?"
<Chain> <Miyuki> For your sake, I hope you take everything I said in Captain
<Sara> <Erica> OF course.
<Chain> <Miyuki> because you have easily made things MUCH harder for you
<Sathen> Kaylin> M-Mrs. Nue...I'm s-sorry.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki moves to her room
<Seraphna> * Cookie just sighs and secures Losco then heads on, looking tired.
<Sara> <Erica> <Bloody hell. I want peace, not... this.> *she lets out a sigh and moves to follow after Yuki*
<Sathen> *Kaylin will raise her head slightly before following after Cookie*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Captain, I am afraid your incident on the ground is already making waves."
<Sara> <Erica> I'd prefer not to hear about it right now. Let's do what we have to do.
<Sathen> *Jelly finishes highlighting certain parts and sends a copy over to Asarar before he posts it to the Net, for her final approval*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Of course. What are your orders?"
<Sara> * Erica resolves to herself that she will turn herself in later if she must to preserve the rest of the cause
<Seraphna> * Cookie seems to be blank faced and dark of thought, but as an empath anger and screaming hits her so much harder.
<Sara> <Erica> We're heading to the President right now.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Shall I remain and continue monitoring or shall I accompany you?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Can you do both Airym? Keep a link to the ship and come on." *she heads after Yuki*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki stands with Tora; Asarar turns to look at her, then peers at her datareader, reading over it
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers at them. "Losco is in lock up."
<Chain> 6*Kitty moves over to Yuki
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Affirmative." *turns and moves after them*
<Sara> * Erica joins Yuki's side.
<Sara> <Erica> <Yuki, if our cause really is harmed by all this, I know what I'll do to make it right. Just... a fair warning.>
<Sathen> *Kaylin stays behind Cookie and looking around, her gaze pausing on Asarar for a moment, the first time she's seen her since her body change*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I see. *she looks at Kira* It seems a mini-version of what you wanted to do has happened. Just wait until the news organizations get their hands on it
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I was thinking more targeted than a shootout in the streets."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> <We'll see. It's a matter of spinning. Will we get bad PR at first? Maybe. Probably.>
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki glances at her.
<Seraphna> Cookie> *takes a seat quietly*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> <It's the long run we have to think about And we'll win that>
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* I kept it from getting out through any of the local cameras, and I've got the only feed of it from them...So, your call boss what I should do with it.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Course, since I'm probably losing it anyway..."
<Sara> * Erica sits
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Taking a corporation might generate worse feedback. Even if it got rid of a problem
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not that I don't agree with you somewhat
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits down and Tora patches into the Aquarius' controls, showing the city of Kumen
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* Should I send it over to the President so you can all review it?
<DeathStar> 6 Yuki silently sits down
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar quietly mutes Jelly
<DeathStar> 6* Leaning back
<Chain> 6*Kitty places a hand on Yuki's head and softly ruffles her hair
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki gives her a soft smile, peering ahead. Her face hiding her emotions well
<Sathen> *Kaylin head tilts in slight confusion before moving over to stand behind Cookie, Jelly is unaware of the mute being activated*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *stands just behind and to the side of Erica*
<Seraphna> * Cookie is not doing so well, if she could manifest a raincloud over her head it would be there.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Me and Sen...
<Seraphna> * Luci looks over, listening.
<DeathStar> <Tora> A few of you know this, but Centerpoint was an issue at the end.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *turns to regard Tora*
<Sara> * Erica looks at Tora, her face emotionlessly blank
<DeathStar> <Tora> Sen and I rode the remains through a blackhole to ensure the safety of our world. 6* Tora walks over to chamber and opens it up, revealing a lot of crystal shards, some of what has been gathered by the team and given to her. Granted, Miyuki's team has a decent stockpile, it seems that Tora's is quite bigger
<DeathStar> <Tora> When we arrived, we arrived on what you people call the Homeworld.
<kalonLappy> <Max> Woah
<Seraphna> Luci> *wolf whistles*
<DeathStar> <Tora> A copy of Earth. I don't know if it always existed, or if it came into existed when Sen and I arrived. It's hard to put into words. Things... just were.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Soon, that place became unstable. Time flowed wrong on the Homeworld, and I was the one who led the charge to leave. We somehow made our way here to Kumen and we built up this world. But still, things flowed wrong here as well. It felt like we brought the problems with us
<DeathStar> <Tora> You might have seen it in Kumen, or Geyze. The Kumen beneath the Kumen
<DeathStar> 6* She glances at them
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I was with you on Centerpoint. I was interfaced with Centerpoint. My memory does not recall anything after the collapse began."
<DeathStar> <Tora> I am not surprised. Sen has theories. A few people on Kumen have noticed it, even if you all have not
<DeathStar> <Tora> Called Truthers
<DeathStar> <Tora> The numbers and glitches
<Seraphna> Luci> "THose guys..."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Truthers... the ones who feel the Net is the 'real' world and the rest is fake
<Seraphna> Luci> "I saw.. those once. The numbers. It's just some kinda net trick right?"
<Sara> * Erica frowns
<Sara> <Erica> I don't think you can say that, no.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Yes. It is.. something I feel is inbetween. You see, Sen and I, we have not aged a day since we came here. It's why I wear a mask a lot. I've been President for so long, it would have begun to be noticeable that I did not age.
<Sathen> *Kaylin just listens quietly*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Centerpoint operated on computer-like principles. It was why I was so important to the plan. I downloaded Centerpoint's operating system and merged it into my own systems. I could then execute the commands we needed to collapse it all."
<Seraphna> Luci> "You're immortal?"
<DeathStar> <Tora> And I have noticed glitches in this world. Sen thinks I am a type of pillar. Sometimes we joke this world is our dream. That it came into being when we came through. Other times, as Airym said, we wonder if the world runs on a computer program. But we dismiss that too at times
<Seraphna> Luci> "We saw these glitches..."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Last time was when we were trying to save Cam'Dee. Up in the tower."
<DeathStar> <Tora> Because it does not act logically all the time. Sure, there are patterns, but life is born, ages, dies. I've seen people cry and do the craziest things.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "There is a realm of throught in advanced physics that the universe is a simulation."
<Seraphna> * Cookie frowns a little and looks at Yuki.
<kalonLappy> <Max> What, like, we're just characters in a game or somethign?
<DeathStar> <Tora> Then, Airym, they know more than I. But Centerpoint lies there, in pieces. *She points*
<Sara> * Erica looks
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That would be impossible. Cookie and I came over.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And we aren't characters.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Yeah..."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps you do not age because your continued presence is essential for the continuation of this existence. Perhaps you are, indeed, the dreamer."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Data on a disk... even a person could be data if there was enough storage space to store everything about them... *she shakes her head* But that's completely ridiculous.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Well... I'm still projecting in a pod. But you came over fully, Yu."
<DeathStar> <Tora> It is possible. But then where do my dreams come from, since I lack them. <Yuki> As did Miyuki, Gor, Isis, and others. We've predicted people have fallen through in quakes and came over
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And that people from here fell over into our world
<Sathen> Kaylin> My mind and personality are nothing but data, given I have physical properties as well, but I am debatably half computer. It's not that hard to consider is it?
<DeathStar> <Tora> I just wanted to get that off my shoulders. That Sen and I have been here, and that this world isn't quite right. It might explain why Kumen plays by certain rules, and Geyze by others. It might explain why you can do somethings a certain number of times, and other things less.
<Sathen> Kaylin> What makes me me is nothing but data.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Everything here is... the same but different. Since we came it HAS been like we operate on a different set of rules."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *walks over and examines the gathered crystals*
<DeathStar> <Tora> It might help with the spirits. I do not know
<DeathStar> <Yuki> If we killed you, would the dream end? <Tora> I do not know.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...I need a drink. Hell, I need to get fucking high."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Dragoons turn into Dragons instead of Mecha. There are elements of a lot of species in the species here."
<Chain> <Kitty> I dont want to find out
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki muses, wondering if Tora has no dreams, where do her dreams come from then.
<Seraphna> * Cookie rubs her head.
<Sara> * Erica just shakes her head, silent
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You've had no dreams since coming here? <Tora> No. But I still have restful sleeps. So obviously I'm getting REM sleep
<Chain> <Kitty> well remember you can have dreams and just not remember it
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Come to think of it... I don't think I've tried to dream walk in quite some time."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That is true
<Chain> <Kitty> most dreams we dont actually remember
<DeathStar> <Tora> Maybe if this is my dream, that is why I don't remember it. *she laughs softly* I'm sorry for laying this all out. I just thought if rules were applying, it might help you solve the spirit problem
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I think that we should monitor Tora's mental activity during REM sleep."
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal shards behind the wall, look to be about 30. Ranging in various sizes.
<Sathen> *Asarar's hand will rumble slightly*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It can't hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes her comm and flips it on
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* BOOM, BOOM, AIN'T IT GREAT TO BE CRAZY; GIDDY AND FOOLISH ALL DAY LONG; BOOM, BOOM, AIN'T IT GREAT TO BE CRAZY?
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks over at Asarar*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm muting you again
<Sara> * Chelsea rubs her temples
<Seraphna> Luci> "So... all of this is some kinda... okay my eyes are going cross."
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* Oh...you muted me?
<DeathStar> *Cypher is heard strangling Jelly
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rises.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Tora, are we to attempt to reconstruct Centerpoint once we have the shards?"
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* Urk! Gah! No!!! I have something...to say!
<Seraphna> Luci> "Out with it Jelly."
<DeathStar> <Tora> From my knowledge, Yuki and company want to take the shards over to their side. <Yuki> I would say we should never reconstruct it
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *lets go*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Just having the shards on our side should stop the deconstruction of prime
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well, our reality
<Sara> <Erica> And what do you want, ma'am?
<DeathStar> <Tora> Me?
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Though... what if all of this occurred because Centerpoint was destroyed... wrong?"
<Sara> * Erica nods
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well, if it continues, then we'll know
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods.
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* IF...and I stress IF...if she is dreaming, and this is her dream as is suggested. Killing her may bring an end to the dream in and of itself, but the contents of that dream becomes the issue. What happens to all of us? Several theories exist in that regards.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Just to have Kumen and Geyze at peace would be nice. Then to retire with my child and wife.
<Sara> <Erica> Peace... would be nice. I'm afraid I may have compromised that today...
<DeathStar> <Tora> We were going to come into conflict with the Corporations sooner or later, Captain
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> People were fucked up long before we go here.
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* But at the same time also consider the premise of Lucid Dreaming, where the dreamer is able to take direct control of the environment around them and change it.
<DeathStar> <Tora> They were not going to go down without swinging
<Sara> <Erica> We went a bit too far today, Madam President. Including some accidental deaths.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki rocks, feeling like something is nagging her
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> By the way, Sen, I was looking for you. Bankrolling a district might be off the table, but could you payroll a security force?
<DeathStar> <Sen> It depends on how good they were
<DeathStar> <Sen> And if they could survive my training
<Sathen> Jelly> *c* Lucid Dreaming would also offer a suggestion that there *is* a way for the dreamer to exit the dream without dying. Even if the Dreamer is not consciously aware of it.
<DeathStar> *Tora pats Erica's shoulder*
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> Just the ones with family; and the one that ... died." She peers at Erica.
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers at Yuki, feeling it out.
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> The ones with family would be the trustworthy ones.
<DeathStar> *Sen nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar motions her group to pick up Ymir and Ylva
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets team up on the Aquarius to talk about the spirit thing, then we're heading back to home
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Yu..." *she puts a hand on her and gently tries to help he focus on what's nagging her*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Alright."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *Shakes head* Other things right now
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> They were led by Losco, so they should know his habits and what they operate from. And they survived skirmishing with me and Yulindhe. They might be rather pivotal in dealing with future skirmishes in more ... productive manners.
<Sathen> *Jelly sighs again, apparently being ignored* And I apparently need to find a voice modulator around here so I can be heard...
<DeathStar> 6* Sen works with Saoirse on the payroll bit, while the others gather in the meeting room. Asarar has Jelly talking to an ensign about his dream theories
<DeathStar> <Ensign> *jots it all down* Go on
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You want to put Cam'dee on TRIAL?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Actually, we're going to have her meet Henry first
<Seraphna> * Luci looks a bit cold here.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> To see if they can work things out
<Sathen> Jelly> Well this is just theoretical, right?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And if that fails, trial?
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Maybe if Henry sees that she was acting through the hand of another it will be enough."
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> She feels guilty. While I would be apprehensive, consider her feelings.
<Sara> <Erica> <I... let the eagerness get a hold of me. I didn't mean for it to happen... I swear to you, Saoir.>
<DeathStar> <Ensign> This is all very good, Jelly Donut Sir
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sits in on this since she helped in the initial negotiations
<DeathStar> *Sen writes Saoirse a huge credit check*
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> <I wasn't guilt-tripping you. I'd be the last to do that over impulsive behavior.>
<Sathen> *Kaylin just listens while checking to make sure Cam is still on the Aquarius*
<Sara> <Erica> <I just wanted you to know I didn't mean for it to happen. That's all.>
<Chain> <Miyuki> even if we bring her to trial, it would be on a lesser charge
<DeathStar> 6* Cam has decided to work with Ylva, and is ironically heading for said meeting
<Seraphna> Cookie> "With any luck if it goes to trial it will also serve to help her confront her own guilt and get closure."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It needs to be done. <Asarar> Well, Luci has more invested than me
<DeathStar> *She peers at her*
<Kemonohime> * Ylva glances at a datapad a moment. "So you know, she made a decision on her own to help my research with Ymir into making synthetic sprites to sustain Kumen."
<Sathen> *Jelly glares through the terminal at the ensign* Well anyway...*continues discussing it in the background while the sound of him typing and working on code can be heard*
<Seraphna> * Luci rubs her forehead. "I don't like it. She's just a kid. She can't be held to the same responsibility as a grown adult. I say we ask her how she feels. ANd honor what she feels."
<Sara> <Erica> We have every reason to believe Cam will be found innocent or otherwise not nearly so bad as those like Henry feel.
<Sara> <Erica> By this same standard, a trial could help to establish that spirits have rights.
<DeathStar> 6* Cam walks in on the meeting
<DeathStar> <Cam> I've decided to help you, Ylva!
<Kemonohime> * Ylva holds up a hand in greeting to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki blinks
<DeathStar> <Ymir> *peeks up from under the table, having been going around getting pets*
<Seraphna> * Luci blinks and looks at Cam, smiling gently.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> I am explicitly grateful for your assistance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cam nods, then peers at everyone meeting
<Sathen> *Kaylin looks to Cam as she enters, a small smile coming to her face*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar refuses to meet her eyes
<Kemonohime> * Ylva glances around at them and sighs.
<DeathStar> <Cam> I will let you get back to your meeting
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Cam...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Can you come over here a moment?
<DeathStar> 6* Cam nods and walks over.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> When we spoke, Cam'dee, you felt responsible for what had happened before-- when you worked with that radical.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *peers at Ylva, letting her speak a moment*
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Was that the case?
<Seraphna> Luci> *frowns, looking like she'd have rather been the one to talk to her, but watches quietly*
<DeathStar> <Cam> Yes. It's why I'm agreeing to help
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Your words you chose was 'attone'
<DeathStar> 6* Cam nods
<Kemonohime> * Ylva glances at the others. "Well?"
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> This, in itself, is not the proceeding. This is not condemnation, speak your part.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We have to ask something big of you.
<Seraphna> Luci> *nods, looking a bit choked up*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Do you want to ask her, Luci, or shall I?
<Sathen> *Kaylin stands quietly and lets others take the lead on this*
<DeathStar> 6* Cam begins to look concerned, feeling backed up
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille holds her rabbit doll, peeking in
<Seraphna> Luci> "Cam..." *she moves over to her and kneels*
<Sara> * Erica looks a bit sad and gets up to put a hand on Cam's shoulder.
<Sara> * But says nothing, letting Luci handle it
<Kemonohime> * Ylva holds her hand out to Cam'dee, offering her a smile but remains quiet.
<DeathStar> <Cam> ... what?
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille gives Cam the rabbit
<Seraphna> Luci> "THey want you to meet with Henvy IV. To talk with him and let him see who you are."
<Sathen> ((Henry II))
<Seraphna> ((II then!))
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir scoots on the floor and steathily takes some of Cam's "Blood" to add to the 3 that Yuki took, then scoots on her back to find Yulindhe
<DeathStar> 6* Cam jerks and looks panicky. "W-Why? He'll kill me."
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir scoots past Kitty and Miyuki
<Sara> <Erica> We won't let that happen.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "So he can see you're not the monster he probably thinks you are. And he won't."
<Seraphna> * Luci
<Sathen> *Kaylin steps forward and gives a small smile* Not while we're by your side.
<Seraphna> Luci> "He'll have to go through me to do that. Every scale on my body."
<DeathStar> <Cam> ... *squirms, then peers at Ylva, then Luci, then nods* I did say I want to atone. Fine. I will talk to him, No matter what he does. *she slumps*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We'll be with you. Every step of the way.
<Seraphna> * Luci scoops her up in a hug.
<Sara> <Erica> You taught us that spirits are more than a resource to be exploited. We won't let you die, and we won't let someone like that do anything bad to you.
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille claps
<Seraphna> Luci> "We need him to see too. So he can help us stop what Kumenites are doing to spirits."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "No more harvesting them."
<Sathen> *Kaylin idly pulls out a small datachip, looking at Cam thoughtfully*
<DeathStar> <Cypher on comm> It's safe to come back home. It seems the Corporate Police have given up on our area's sprites. Maybe because so many have run off to find Kitty, or the attack, I don't know.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Well, then. You've made your choice.
<DeathStar> 6* So far, none of the news stations have picked up the attack or the deaths. Not one peep. The Ani-Mon Corporation is sitting on it. Not even the disappearance of Losco, who they have in the brig. For what purpose? Who knows.
<Seraphna> Luci> *just keeps hugging on Cam'dee*
<DeathStar> 6* Cam'dee snuggles Luci
<Kemonohime> * Ylva nods to herself. "I believe I will attend, as I can't allow my new assistant to be exploited without showing proof of her earnest intent to improve Kumen."
<DeathStar> 6* Jelly would see that several of the buildings that the pimps were renting have now been given to them, free of charge suddenly. All they have to pay is the electricity now
<Chain> 6*Kitty sighs
<Kemonohime> * Ylva rubs her cheek thoughtfully, ever scheming these days it seems.
<Chain> <Kitty> I guess I cant really go back there now or else people might come poking around for me
<Chain> 6*she pets the sprites
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It's fine to come back - if you want.
<Sara> <Erica> Kitty, you're... always welcome with us, as well.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We'll hide the sprites upstairs.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> That aside, I believe he might be interested in the investment of this research. Whomever has a hand in its success is bound to turn up prosperous... in one way or another.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No one knows they liked you
<Sathen> *Kaylin will step forward slightly and offer Cam the chip* I don't know if you recall MAC from when you were aboard, but I made a deal with her...and you're the only one I can follow that up with.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Plus I hear he's spirit-phobic. Being involved may allow him a sterile environment to get over that fear.
<Chain> <Kitty>mind if I stay here for a few days Asarar? before I come back down, just let the heat die down a little just incase
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Certainly. You're welcome back anytime.
<DeathStar> *Asarar pats Kitty*
<Chain> 6*Kitty nods
<Sathen> *Jelly glances at the screen and headtilts at it* *c* Boss, we may have more issues as well...but that can wait for when you get back to the office.
<DeathStar> *Cam takes the chip*
<Chain> <Kitty> I'll be back in a few days
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Now that the unpleasantries are taken care of...
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We will hold your spot open *She nods and acknowledges to Jelly, then rounds up her team, heading up, leaving Cam on the ship, saying goodbye*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Let's get back. Fetish night has been a wash anyway."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Ruins of the Old Macross HQ
<Sathen> *Kaylin smiles again and steps back, the chip full of stored data emotions and sensations of eating food and various other activities that would be 'firsts'*
<DeathStar> 6* A few scavangers pick through the ruins on the older levels, when suddenly, the rubble shakes and shifts, and a hand busts through and a form rises. The figure stands up, looking like a mix of Chelsea's old friend one moment, and the mad Cypher spirit the next. It looks around, then eyes the scavangers, grabbing them and draining their lives, leaving dried up husks. As it walks away, grass and trees with fruit crops up behind it
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> I enjoyed tonight's RP a lot
* DeathStar wags
<Chain> just for clarity ;w; I'm not mad at anyone even though Miyu was SERIOUSLY pissed
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 192 seconds)
<Kemonohime> She had good reason to be
<Sara> I know you're not
<Sara> You're playing your characters
<Sara> If it were you then Kitty would have been acting different because of it too
<Chain> i know but I just dont want anyone to feel like theyre targeted
<Sara> Erica of course meant well and is ready to accept the consequences, but she got way too into it
<DeathStar> I actually enjoyed the conflict
<DeathStar> In the TGC days
<Sara> And that led her to do something she didn't mean to
<DeathStar> Characters butted heads all the time
<Kemonohime> What she said was true. Saoirse was taken aback also, so she just did what she could to make it 'right' as much as possible.
<DeathStar> For example
<Chain> well its like, a lot of times, everyone just easily solves a problem or lets it slide
<DeathStar> Yuki got a little pissed at Miyuki
<Sathen> and yes Chain, I understand and was enjoying the scene
<DeathStar> Since she felt Miyuki went overboard
<Chain> and something this big Miyu wouldnt let slide
<Sathen> poor Kaylin though, left bowing on the ground at Miyu's feet
<DeathStar> And went from lecturing to nonconstructive
<Kemonohime> So she went to Sen to get any family the dead one had a severance pay for what he was working for Losco for and to potentially get the family-bound ones a job on their side.
* Chain nods
<Kemonohime> She got a taste of doing subterfuge from working for Tora/Sen before.
* Sathen pets Chain and offers a Jolly Rancher
<Chain> like I said, just wanted to make sure everyone was clear
<Sara> Granted the fallout could have been a lot worse if Erica actually HAD wanted to be ruthless
<DeathStar> In the TGC days, you'd have the team all the time butting heads on issues.
<DeathStar> And yelling at each other
<Chain> what flavor
<Sathen> grape
<Kemonohime> So she'll aim to get these guys on their side and use them to root out the other sibling Posco had apparently and prevent a future bloodbath or threat to the presidential tower.
<DeathStar> If I recall
<DeathStar> It was Posco, Losco, and Rosco
* Chain eats it happily
<Sathen> yes it was
<Kemonohime> Depending on how cooperative they are
* Sathen heads off to get some sleep
<Kemonohime> Saoirse might take them and strike Rosco first and take him out of the picture
<Kemonohime> But that's just me
* Sathen has quit IRC
* Kemonohime shrugs
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Can't we all just get along?
<DeathStar> *Rosco is a ranch farmer. He screams as Saorise appears*
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> I broke his jaw so he couldn't testify.
<Kemonohime> Difference in character.
<Chain> <Rosco> I havent seen them in 20 years!
<Kemonohime> lol. One hopes not.
<Jackieness> Wasn't Rosco the one who had it in for Kira since he saw her at the Neon Angel pad?
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> Fuck, the one time I don't do my homework before an op.
<Kemonohime> <Mirrielle> You should always do your homework! Tsk, tsk!
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> ... .. it's not that kind of homew-- beh." Hugs her.
<DeathStar> That was Losco
<DeathStar> So far Rosco hasn't shown up
<Jackieness> Ah :0
<Jackieness> Wait... isn't Rosco the guy from Dukes of Hazzard?
<DeathStar> Never watched that show, but it wouldn't surprise me
<w00t> ROSCO PECO TRAIN
<Jackieness> this guy-> https://localtvwtvr.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/roscoe-e1428441919104.jpg?w=770&h=484
<DeathStar> Lol
<Kemonohime> Oh god
<Kemonohime> So Rosco's gonna show up with the family hound Poochsco
<DeathStar> Done
<Jackieness> XD
