<DeathStar> Location: The Club
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir scoots about behind the bar, shaking and mixing drinks, peeking over it to peer about, her ears twitchingh
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher studies her boredly, braiding Chelsea's hair
<Sara> * Chelsea smiles softly
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar quietly reads information, noting that still there's been no reprocutions yet on Losco vanishing 3 days ago, and so far all the land around them as been given to the owners, as well as the buildings. Making this strip of land the most hot strip in the area since the pimps and whatnot own their buildings and can make more money to spend on their dancers, strippers, prostitutes, and casinos
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher finishes her braiding at the same time Ymir finishes mixing a drink and slams it down on the bar, the creation bubbling and fizzing
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks and peers at her
<Chain> 6*Kitty plays with her sprites and cats
<Jackieness> <Kira> *is in the lounge, playing hostess as is often the case. Business likely picking up since the area is so hot now*
<Sara> <Chelsea> What in the world is she doing this time I wonder
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I try not to ask
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites, both dark and water, chases the cats about
<DeathStar> 6* The large crowd gathers to watch Kira
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir then swallows her drink and immediately slams face first on the ground
<Sara> * Chelsea jerks and leaps up, rushing over to make sure she's okay since she sees it happen before almost anyone
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar comes down the elevator and walks by Cypher and Chelsea. A few in the crowd study the two, assuming they are sisters
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir seems alive, but dead drunk
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Breathing okay?
<Sara> <Chelsea> I think she's in an alcoholic coma, actually
<Jackieness> <Kira> *casually flirts with patrons, as its all a part of the act*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm going to head out and study the area, see if anything has changed now that the corporate police is gone. *She leans over to eye Ymir*
<Chain> <Kitty> who wants to go for a walk?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Prop her up so she can breathe
<Chain> 6*she pets them all lovingly
<Sara> * Chelsea nods and gets her up onto a chair
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites bounce happily
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Want company? *she asks Asarar.* <Asarar> If you two want to come along
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar steps out the door and Cypher turns to Chelsea
<Sara> * Chelsea gives a small nod, directing Barry to Ymir
<Chain> 6*Kitty heads out with her swarm
<DeathStar> 6* Barry nods and puts hat on Ymir, to cover her face. Then he puts various objects on her head
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods to Kitty as they both step out
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher walks out with Chelsea, peering about the area with more activity going on. More prostitutes are lined up, leaning against trees
<Sara> * Chelsea glances at them vaguely as they walk, taking Cypher's hand
<Chain> 6*Kitty hums a tune about a cookie cat
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher pulls her close as Asarar moves about, studying the prostitutes. She heads northward, glancing around
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Everything seems norm--- *she studies Kitty's humming about a cookie cat*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A... cat made of ... cookies?
<Chain> <Kitty> he's a refugee of an interstellar war
<Sara> <Chelsea> That sounds like a yummy tale but with a tragic end
<Sara> Chelsea> The atmosphere out here is way different...
<Chain> <Kitty> cookie cat he's a treat for your tummy
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, the old church with the sprites that were gathered, has figures entering it
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Look
<Chain> <Kitty> cookie cat he's super duper yummy
<Chain> <Kitty> cookie cat he left his family behind
<DeathStar> *She points at a cloaked figure stepping in and closing the door behind him, the rusted, falling apart door barely closing*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Isn't that where Kitty found the water sprites?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Yeah...
<Chain> 6*Kitty blinks and moves to it
<DeathStar> 6* BonBon, in cat form, leaps on Chelsea's shoulder, drawn to the song
<Sara> * Chelsea giggles and scritches behind BonBon's ears
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher and Asarar walk to the church, Cypher pulling Chelsea along while BonBon purrs
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pushes at the rusted door and it moves with a screech, falling open. A cloud of dust rises, and footprints can be seen on the floor, moving about toward a wall
<Chain> 6*Kitty looks about and to her sprites
<Chain> <Kitty> do you feel any friends?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Good grief. *cough cough*
<DeathStar> <Sprites> *The huddle in fear behind Kitty*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar and Cypher walk about, seeing no sign of --- anyone. They walk up to the wall of a symbol of truth, where the footprints stop
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I don't see anyone.
<Chain> 6*Kitty blinks
<DeathStar> <Asarar> He only entered a minute ago
<Chain> <Kitty> the sprites are scared
<DeathStar> 6* Both study them, frowning
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher heads down to the basement, checking everything out, and comes up a minute later, shaking her head.
<Sara> <Chelsea> I have a bad feeling about this *she notes to Asarar*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *excuses herself and goes into a curtained booth, activating her comm* "Where are you?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So do I. *she takes her comm* An old church
<Chain> 6*Kitty pets the sprites
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I cna be there in three minutes. Need any goodies from the store room?"
<Chain> <Kitty> its alright I'm here, but I need to see if the bad person is near by
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I see no way to enter the Net from here
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *comm* Bring some surveilance. Other than that, I am not sure what else
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites hover outside, letting Kitty do her job
<Jackieness> <Kira> *comm* "On my way." *heads upstairs to ninja-change and grab a pack of tech gear*
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher sneezes, sitting in a pew and musing
<Chain> <Kitty> Chel? can you watch the sprites?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Roger. *she nods, keeping an eye on them*
<Chain> <Kitty> they like petting too, it reassures them
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar checks all the rooms, but sees no footsteps in any of the rooms except the main room
* w00t has joined #DualSession117
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No sign of human activity in the other rooms
<Chain> 6*Kitty gives them one last pet before moving in to look around too, eying the floor and ceiling
<DeathStar> 6* Other than the Truth symbol, the rest of the church looks like an old, decayed church. It still has some water left in it and has essence from when Undine was about, and one can feel the mana energy in here
<DeathStar> 6* A small tree is trying to grow through the floor boards
<Sara> <Chelsea> *comm* Hey, Asa, Cy. I have a thought.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Shoot. *she peers and looks through the front door*
<Sara> <Chelsea> *c* There's a Truth symbol here, right? So maybe the Net.
<Chain> 6*Kitty kneels and pulls at the boards to get to the tree
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You'd think, but I see no tech to travel into it from here.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks through the door into the church, clad in her tactical catsuit and with the tech pack over her shoulder
<DeathStar> <Cypher> So how did the guy vanish in here? I mean, I can see entering the Net elsewhere and coming in here
<Sara> <Chelsea> it ... *she pauses* what if they managed to power it with spirits?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I have the gear here."
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher peers at Asarar, shrugging as if saying: Possible
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar takes it, thanking Kira with a hug and climbs up to the rafters, placing cameras
<DeathStar> 6* Kitty reveals more of the tree growing up from the basement. It's a pretty cherry blossomish tree
<Chain> 6*Kitty blinks and keeps on digging
<DeathStar> 6* That's about it. Just a tree trying to grow up.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If they can enter the Net from here, we don't have that ability, but we'll see them if they come back out
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I think I have a deck in here too."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A Net Deck? That's pretty big and heavy to carry.
<Chain> 6*Kitty takes off her jacket, pulls up the tree and soil and bundles it all up
<Chain> <Kitty> I have gained a tree
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Well, if they are using the spirits to travel about, I think Kitty uprooted that
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher leans down\
<Sara> * Chelsea plays with the sprites
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites bounce against Chelsea playfully
<Jackieness> <Kira> "That's why I have it in this big pack."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar takes it and begins to spread it out across the full length of the church, kicking pews out of the way, breaking them
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Give me time to get it working
<Chain> 6*Kitty walks back to Chelsea with it
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites bounce over to the tree, bouncing against it
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> 6* Eve quietly drinks hard wine, peering out across the grounds.
* Stretch`cell has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
* Stretch`cell has joined #DualSession117
<DeathStar> 6* Shion walks about, trying to organize stuff
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *sits at her desk, reading through some papers*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Mother takes a trip away, will be back she says. Leave Shion in charge again
<DeathStar> <Shion> *her tails rattle*
<DeathStar> 6* Selena meanwhile is playing with Mykel's mother's journals, babbling as she organizes them, taking the various journals and shuffling them about
<Stretch`cell> *Miyasha mewls at her mommy*
<DeathStar> *Shion gives her treat as she pauses, reading an entry and rings the Unit 6 bell, standing outside the main temple*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *sets down the papers and rises, moving outside to the main temple*
<DeathStar> 6* Selena finishes and the covers of the journals form a picture when they are arranged just right
<DeathStar> <Selena> *babbles and crawls off, her job done*
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen walks toward Shion, leaning to the side, all cool
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel glances at Selena with the diaries and noting the design before heading off towards the main temple. Maeryn following Sasha quietly as the ferret chitters from her shoulder*
<Sara> * Liana writes in her room, oblivious to what Selena is doing, while Ellie practices her archery in yet another reckless spot in the team's area
<DeathStar> <Shion> This is everyone? Good. I just got word that the Naturalist Capital area is being attacked by some one. The details are not much since communication from the Inner Council member from there was cut off
<DeathStar> <Shion> All I got was masked figures
<Sara> * Ellie and Liana peer in
<Stretch`cell> Maeryn> Sounds ominous.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Helen Gerer is a close ally and I would not like to lose them. I am unsure what they could be trying to hit, or where they are from.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Perhaps more of the Kumen agents gathering spirits."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve drains her wine quickly and moves off, having overheard
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> Weren't they all accounted for?
<DeathStar> <Shion> We believed so. Either way, you will have to find out
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *looks stunned, flopping onto Ellie's hat*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I am not discounting that they are opting to be more subtle were they to try again."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Travel there with all due haste
<DeathStar> 6* Shion moves to go inside and reach other contacts
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Of course." *looks to the others* "Prepare and meet back ehre to make the trip."
<Sara> * Ellie shrugs and nods
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen nods, moving to get his armor and other supplies. Sylph sits on Ellie's hat, looking worried, twitching
<Sara> * Ellie pats her lightly. "I don't like the sound of it either, Sylphie."
<Sara> * Liana goes to check on her wife and child before packing
<DeathStar> <Sylph> They can't be after me. I'm here
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn just closes her eyes and stands there, her panther padding up beside her* I'm ready.
<DeathStar> 6* Selena babbles at Liana, waving her hands at. Celes lets out a sigh
<DeathStar> <Celes> Duty calls again, yes?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *heads back for the team 6 temple to prepare*
<Sara> <Liana> 'fraid so. Another day, another adventure. Sounds like it might be spirit-takers again
<DeathStar> 6* Celes gives her a hug
<DeathStar> <Celes> Becareful
<Sara> <Liana> Always, my love.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki finishes tinkering with the Virgo to take Cam'dee to see Henry II
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Let's hope this works. *she murmurs*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki naps in her quarters while Wolfe is napping near Yuki, magazine over face
<Sara> * Erica glances over Yuki's work with an admiring sound
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki taps a button to let everyone know it is time. Cam jerks and leaves her quarters, coming down toward the Virgo
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *flusters* I just added a few things so we can warp Cam out in case Henry decides to get stabby or shooty
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin meets up with Cam and walks along with her*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Never discount rage
<Sara> <Erica> Well, Cam is like a daughter to us in a way after all we've been through, so I can only approve
<DeathStar> 6* Cam gives Kaylin a weak smile as they enter the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* Riki adds custard to Wolfe's hands
<DeathStar> 6* Then puts his feet in water
<Chain> 6*Wolfe yawns as Miyuki gets ready. He wags at the custard
<DeathStar> 6* Then massages him
<DeathStar> 6* Who knows her logic
<Chain> <Wolfe> Riki? whatcha doing
<Jackieness> <Airym> *comm* "I will be remotely monitoring your status from the Aquarius."
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin gives a smile back, and tries to give a small hug* Its good to have you back.
<DeathStar> <Riki> I'm soaking your feet, giving you nice food, and massaging you
<DeathStar> <Riki> Multitaksing!2
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille climbs up Erica's back, peering over her as Cam enters the shuttle. Yuki gets in to pilot unless Erica wants it
<Chain> 6*he pets her and dries his feet
* Luci has joined #DualSession117
<Chain> 6*Miyuki boards the shuttle
<Sara> * Erica lets Yuki pilot
<DeathStar> 6* As they wait to take off, a commerical for the new make up from Nue-Age plays. Promising to make you feel and look younger. At now at your local store!
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin tenses at Miyuki's arrival and finds her seat*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki pilots the shuttle, flying them past a large scale ad for the make up, showing a woman with wrinkles using it and losing them. The ad flashes a second before continuing
<Sara> * Erica blinks at it flashing
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hm, do you think I need make up? *she wags her tail at Erica teasingly*
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<Sara> <Erica> Your natural beauty exceeds that of a hundred make-ups
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki lands on Henry's shuttle platform, where bodyguards wait on them to lead them inside. They seem more tense, perhaps due to Cam. Yuki steps off, frowning at how they eye her. Cam quivers as she is led along. Yuki hurries up, smiling at Erica
<Sara> * Erica gives Cam a reassuring squeeze as they walk
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin walks beside Cam, like her own bodyguard*
<DeathStar> 6* When they reach the office, they find Henry at his desk, drinking from a wine cup. He peers up, almost nervously surprisingly, at meeting his father's killer. His eyes dart to Yuki, Erica, then to Miyuki and Kaylin, then finally to Cam. Behind him in a seat is a masked fellow, his eyes the only thing not covered, but one cannot see the eyes. He wears a cloak and body armor, and his hand shows what appears to be a mark of some sort
<DeathStar> <Henry> Captain. Yuki. Miyuki. You... came. *he sounds somewhat surprised, his voice showing only a hint of slurring* And you are Cam'dee.
<DeathStar> 6* He turns to face Cam as Yuki walks in with her and Cam bows her head down, unable to meet his piercing stare
<DeathStar> <Henry II> My father's killer
<Sara> <Erica> Greetings, my esteemed man. *she offers handshake in greeting*
<DeathStar> <Cam> I... I'm... sorry...

<DeathStar> (Going to be stuck in here)
<DeathStar> (Since if I click on a tab, it automatically closes it)
<Chain> (want me to repost?
<Sara> (Consider turning on the treebar and using that)
<DeathStar> (Okay it seems to have stopped)
<DeathStar> (I clicked esper.net)\
<DeathStar> (Then tentatively clicked something else)
<DeathStar> (Yes pleasE)
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin just watches from the rear of the room, her hands clasped behind her back; watching the masked figure for a few moments and appraising him*
<Chain> <DeathStar> 6* Yuki lands on Henry's shuttle platform, where bodyguards wait on them to lead them inside. They seem more tense, perhaps due to Cam. Yuki steps off, frowning at how they eye her. Cam quivers as she is led along. Yuki hurries up, smiling at Erica

His eyes dart to Yuki, Erica, then to Miyuki and Kaylin, then finally to Cam. Behind him in a seat is a masked fellow, his eyes the only thing not covered, but one cannot see the eyes. He wears a cloak and
<Chain> 6body armor,
<Chain> <DeathStar> 6and his hand shows what appears to be a mark of some sort
<Chain> <DeathStar> <Henry> Captain. Yuki. Miyuki. You... came. *he sounds somewhat surprised, his voice showing only a hint of slurring* And you are Cam'dee.
<Chain> <DeathStar> 6* He turns to face Cam as Yuki walks in with her and Cam bows her head down, unable to meet his piercing stare
<Chain> <DeathStar> <Henry II> My father's killer
<Chain> <Sara> <Erica> Greetings, my esteemed man. *she offers handshake in greeting*
<Chain> <DeathStar> <Cam> I... I'm... sorry...
<Chain> * DeathStar (~Mysteriou@162.218.7.112) has left #DualSession117
<Chain> * DeathStar (~Mysteriou@162.218.7.112) has joined #DualSession117
<DeathStar> *Henry pulls his eyes away, then he shakes Erica's hand*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki places a hand gently on Cam's back for reassurance
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin just watches from the rear of the room, her hands clasped behind her back; watching the masked figure for a few moments and appraising him*
<Sara> * Erica gives a gentle yet polite smile
<DeathStar> 6* The masked figure sits there, just watching for now
<DeathStar> <Cam> *she bows her head* I am sorry. I have wronged you greatly. I-I wish I could take it back. But I can't. Anything I say is hollow.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *passively scans network traffice from the Aquarius while the meeting happens, watching for anything unusual*
<DeathStar> 6* Henry sips his drink. "You are right."
<DeathStar> 6* Airym would just pick up chatter from the Club about a church and vanishing people
<DeathStar> 6* And a message from Shion to Miyuki about an attack on the Naturalist from masked men. Targetting Helen Gerar. And that she has the team looking into it.
<DeathStar> <Cam> If there is anything I can do to make it up to you, I will.
<Sara> * Erica stays quiet for now, giving Miyuki a small glance
<Jackieness> <Airym> *notes it for her reports to Erica upon the captain's return*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki glances at the message, and asks to describe the mask
<DeathStar> <Henry II> *he turns away* Anything? ... After we are doing helping the spirits, if all of us are still alive, would you come to work off your debt to my father, and his company, here? To see the faces in this company that miss him every day until I release you?
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin looks to Miyuki since she's supposed to be the one leading this entire thing, looking back at Henry II*
<DeathStar> *Shion responds she doesn't have a description. But she is going through files, thinking she heard mention of masked people before, around the time of the Hapian incident*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki> Sir....thats asking for her to be an servant
<Chain> <Miyuki> Sir....thats asking for her to be an servant
<DeathStar> <Henry II> It's better than a trial and arrest, in a cell, unable to leave, yes? I plan to work her like I would an employee. Which means she can at least, in my arrangement, go home to her family at the end of the day.
<DeathStar> <Henry II> Until her contract isu p
<Stretch`cell> Kaylin> Contract?
<Chain> <Miyuki> forgive me, but some of your...word choices leave me very concerned
<DeathStar> <Henry II> It's an old practice.
<DeathStar> <Henry II> Criminals in the past would sometimes forge contracts to work off their sentences
<DeathStar> <Henry II> So they could still have some freedom
<Chain> <Miyuki> if she was to consider it, how long would this contract be
<Sara> <Erica> In some way, it's another version of the idea of 'a life for a life'...
<Stretch`cell> Kaylin> The term is 'indentured servitude'.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki casts a sidelong glance, to plead that they keep silent for the moment
<DeathStar> <Henry II> *he considers* In the past, it was considered by the age of the person killed, if the person was remourseful, and how hard they worked. Ten years working for my company. Beside me. I will pay you like a normal employee. Assuming you are remourseful, Cam. And I believe it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cam considers, thinking
<Chain> 6*Miyuki looks at Cam
<DeathStar> <Cam> I'll do it
<DeathStar> <Henry II> Good. We'll draw up the details after the current crisis is over. So that my end of the deal is lived up to
<Chain> <Miyuki> I want to read and have copies made of the contract
<DeathStar> <Henry II> Of course. You can be part of making it up if you want. I won't bother making it until we are all satisfied with the now
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods
<DeathStar> <Henry II> Now go... I want to be alone
<Chain> <Miyuki> as you wish
<Sara> * Erica bows her head. "Thank you very much for your time."
<DeathStar> 6* He walks off, and the bodyguards escort them off. Another escorts the masked man off in another direction
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Tch. I'm not sure I'm happy with how it went
<DeathStar> <Cam> I had to take some punishment...
<Chain> <Miyuki> I had hoped he would have let it go but this could have ended far worse
<Sara> <Erica> It is Cam's decision to make, and it's a far cry from death or permanent slavery
<DeathStar> <Cam> Maybe he has reasons for wanting me to work in his company.
<DeathStar> <Cam> He said working beside him
<Sara> <Erica> Likely... but that he doesn't want you dead is at least an encouraging thought to me
<Chain> <Miyuki> it might help relations to see spirits as people and not as objects
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *gets back in the shuttle and eyes Airym's messages to Erica as she flies them back*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *She motions Erica forward*
<Sara> * Erica checks them and frowns
<Sara> <Erica> Masked men... you say
<DeathStar> 6* Cam leans back
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I wonder who Asarar is chasing now
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Vanishing people
<Sara> <Erica> I can't help but feel like this is all related
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Me too, me too
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Church
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar finishes the last bit of the Net Device and powers it up
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, BonBon, watch the spirits
<DeathStar> <ASarar> We need everyone if we're about to enter a trap
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar steps onto the platform and vanishes
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher steps on and vanishes next
<Sara> * Chelsea steps on reluctantly
<Chain> 6*Kitty pets her sprites
<Chain> <Kitty> be good till I;m back
<DeathStar> 6* BonBon turns into her humanoid form and salutes Kitty
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I'll watch them
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *she plays with the sprites*
<Chain> 6*Kitty nods to her and steps on
<Jackieness> <Kira> *steps on as well*
<DeathStar> 6* Kira and Kitty step on and the world morphs, changing into a digital form of the church. The church looks completely normal and solid, with no damage except where Kitty ripped out what was a giant tree
<DeathStar> 6* Her taking out the tiny tree seems to have removed a giant tree
<Chain> 6*Kitty blinks
<DeathStar> 6* The puddles of water that was in the church is a giant pond here
<Chain> <Kitty> weird
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, they might know we are coming if we've changed the landscape
<Chain> 6*Kitty cracks her knuckles
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes the truth symbol glowing here in the Net
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So what is the plan?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher walks to the the church doors and pushes them open
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ... No one here either
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *she gestures*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So either they've left this area.... or we guessed wrong
<Sara> * Chelsea stays on her guard, peering around
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar crosses her arms, eyeing the pond and glowing symbol
<Chain> <Kitty> I assume they just left
<Sara> <Chelsea> It is interesting that there's a difference in the water...
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Maybe they've been bringing the spirits here to regrow the net space."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Or to make some sort of sanctuary?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pauses then shoves everyone down into the basement
<Sara> * Chelsea jerks but doesn't make even a peep as she's shoved
<Jackieness> <Kira> *is herded down*
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, figures step out of the Truth symbol, coming from some third area of space, not the Net or Real Space
<DeathStar> 6* The masked men wear cloaks and have a religious mark, and talk in a strange language. Words like PAX and Tsivrixsh can be heard and Asarar squints, thinking she heard Yuki say them once
<Sara> * Chelsea's ears twitch as she tries to listen closer, burning perception
<Chain> 6*Kitty glowers
<DeathStar> <Masked Man> Cartel Ambassador #$#235#$#$ #$#%# #$$$#. *they nod and motion, the words Jem, Lenneth, PAX, Erevis, Godiva and Nagisa said once or twice, as if arguing about them*
<Chain> 6*Kitty's eyes widen, as she tries to see if she can move closer
<Sara> * Chelsea tries her 5 Manifestation move to create a channel and read the masked man, IF possible to do without revealing herself -- though her Mind isn't very high
<DeathStar> *finally they hold a religious ceremony, and a crystal shard is held up. Kitty's reason for crossing over. A piece of Centerpoint. Asarar narrows her eyes, since her group has hunted them for Yuki before. They touch it, and it darkens and goes black, like what happened with Eve.
<DeathStar> 6* The masked men's minds seem very alien and rigid, their minds seem out of synch with things and at the same time powerful, and religious, as if they are there to bring order and religion
<Sara> * Chelsea makes a bit of a face but keeps herself still and quiet otherwise
<DeathStar> 6* They hold the corrupted reality shard, and move on, vanishing into thin air
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What the hell was that?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Good question
<Chain> 6*Kitty growls
<Chain> <Kitty> theyre plotting something...with everyone back home..
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher creeps forward and eyes the Truth symbol no longer glowing
<Sara> <Chelsea> I think they're from... *she trails off, wondering if others realized it, and Kitty obviously may have*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Even their minds, feel a little 'off'
<Sara> <Chelsea> As if it... doesn't sync up with ours
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Great. *she jerks as she sees the Net Platform warp vanish*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They must have re-entered the real world, because the Net Platform was destroyed
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We are stuck in the Net
<Chain> <Kitty> theres no way out?
<Sara> <Chelsea> That also means they know we're here
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I have a Net Platform in the Club
<Jackieness> <Kira> "What abotu Bonnie?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But that means crossing the streets in the Net
<Chain> <Kitty> then how do we access it
<Sara> <Chelsea> Oh... Oh no.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Oh that's fun. Any Hacker can have a field day with us
<Chain> 6*Kitty blinks
<Chain> <Kitty> not if we flag one specifically
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We're only like two streets away. Lets just move carefully and hope Bonnie wasn't noticed
<Sara> * Chelsea gives a small nod
<Chain> 6*Kitty moves after Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar opens the church doors, peering out. The city in the Net looks very different to Kitty. The buildings are much stronger and look digital
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Also let's make a not to smash the truth symbol back in the real world as a big fuck you to these guys."
<DeathStar> 6* The streets are all digital and look like something in a computer. It's constantly being built by people and shaped
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks along. There's signs of trees growing all about in the Net now unlike before. Somehow, by a miracle, they make it to the club without incident and Asarar lowers the barriers she put up to keep Hackers out
<DeathStar> 6* And rushes in
<Jackieness> <Kira> *runs inside the virtual club*
<Sara> * Chelsea rushes in after Asarar, even though she's worried
<DeathStar> 6* The virtual club ground floor has a swimming pool
<Chain> 6*Kitty hurries after
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher enters and falls into the pool, gurgling and lifts her head
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ... a pool?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I like to relax, okay?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar raises the barriers
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You should see the other virtual floors
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* After getting to the top floor and exiting the Net, Asarar and company return to the church, finding it razed to the ground
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Seems like they covered their tracks
<Sara> <Chelsea> But now we know the Truth are involved, among other things
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar kneels and picks up debris
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Only problem is where they are going to start operating from now. But we heard their crazy talk."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or their symbols are being used. But you are probably right
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie peeks out from under the ruined church and wiggles out, holding the sprites
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Cheeeeel!
<Sara> * Chelsea jerks
<DeathStar> *She leaps on her, knocking her over*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Bonnie! You're okay! ... A church fell on y-- aah!
<Sara> * Chelsea falls over with Bonnie on top of her
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I hid from the scary people. Sniffle. Oh, I also took a camera
<DeathStar> *She holds one up*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Huh. Good cat.
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie cheek rubs
<Sara> <Chelsea> Looks like you've learned a lot. *she says with a sly smile*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Reward me.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I can tell who is getting Chelsea in bed tonight
<Sara> * Chelsea pets her. "I think you deserve rewards I can't give right here."
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *wags her tail and crags Chelsea back toward the club, while Asarar takes the camera*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll go over this
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites chase after Bonnie and Chelsea
<DeathStar> -END-
<Jackieness> Fuuu~
<Sara> I think it was a nice session in the end
<Sara> With some very good information
<DeathStar> Yep
<DeathStar> Basically the TAW session you missed gave info that Masked people were in it
<DeathStar> And if you recalled Eve mentioned masked people with marks controlled her
<DeathStar> This session just reaffirmed that yes, masked people are in Duality
<DeathStar> It's why I said you didn't miss much since I knew the next Duality session had masked people
* Sara paws to be held
* DeathStar picks up
<Sara> Mew!
<DeathStar> Mew!
Session Close: Sat Aug 06 22:01:27 2016
