<DeathStar> 5.17.6091
<DeathStar> Location: Grasslands on Mainland A
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga walks along the grassy lands, a steady march, wiping some sweat off her forehead. The weather is warmer outside the capital, which had regulated weather
<Xanatos> 6* Bix moves along towards the rear of the group, his eyes and head shifting around quite a lot as he absorbs the scenery around him.
<Seraphna> * Nell moves along matching pace, yawning a little as she stretches. "This weather... it make me wanna nap, nyow?"
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae glares at the sky, squinting
<DeathStar> 6* The sun glistens overhead, with what looks like another planet, or a moon, orbitting off to the side, everwatching. Cloe trots along quietly. Jinx asked to have put to vote the last power band be put on the cat, though Seniga thinks that it should be saved, feeling like another companion will arrive. So far Ruhi and Jinx have voted yes to do it
<Kemonohime> <Tenebrae> Picking a fight, eh..!
<Kemonohime> * Her shadow sulks, looking like it's suffering more than she actually is
<Jackieness> <Bella> *trudges forward, carrying two packs worth with her staff slung across her shoulders*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi takes up the rear with her massive backpack
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx follows along beside and slightly behind Nell, once again holding onto Nells sleeve*
<Sara> * Cherie is at the rear of the rear, having not wanted to be away from her sister and Ruhi, but she is basically hiding behind Ruhi's massive backpack
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *eyes what looks like a massive river coming up, slowing down. Cloe hops along, vanishing into the grass now and again*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> little miss you should be in front of me
<Xanatos> <Bix> Trouble: Water.
<Sara> * Cherie tugs as if wondering why
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> so youre in my sight and nothing snatches you up
<Sara> * Cherie reluctantly moves ahead of Ruhi
<DeathStar> *Seniga eyes the map they were given and continues on, as Cloe leaps and vanishes into the tall grass*
<Seraphna> Nell> "Cleo! Where you off to?"
<Sara> (Cloe/most accurately CloƩ)
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> good girl
<DeathStar> *Cloe leaps up again and vanishes into the grass again*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix looks confused when Cloe vanishes
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Why is the river trouble anyway?"
<Seraphna> Nell> "She huntin' something?"
<Xanatos> <Bix> River: Deep, fast tow.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi looks about for a tree
<DeathStar> *Seniga walks up to the shore of the river. Off to the side at a well maintained dock is a beautiful ship that seems to hover over the river, lavishly designed and decorated. It seems to be a C'en ship, with C'en upper class arriving with the lower ranking C'en.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix stops by Seniga and looks around, head shifting slightly to peer at the C'en.
<Seraphna> * Nell stops and looks on.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi looks at the docks and squints
<DeathStar> 6* The higher ranking C'en walk up the platforms, their faces covered, while the big boned C'en carry their luggage onto the massive ship. Signs read that: C'en Transportation. Departure: 1 hour. It seems it is still docking. Another sign reads: Native Transportation <-
<Xanatos> <Bix> Native transportation.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi moves for it
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga follows the arrow to the left, while Cloe catches up, panting. The Native Transportation does not seem to be insight, but the river bends out of sight. Seniga walks in that direction
<Kemonohime> <Tenebrae> ...?
<Jackieness> <Bella> *starts down to the native transport*
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae looks confused, as if she wants to just go over the water
<Seraphna> * Nell sticks to Seniga, following along with her and musing.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi moves to speak to one of the C'en
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches along.
<Sara> * Cherie sticks close-ish to Ruhi, but seems a bit hesitant
<Xanatos> 6* Bix chirps a bit as he walks along, a bit of traveling music.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> excuse me
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae tugs on Seniga. "Woof-lady speak at C'en."
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae's shadow bristles in shape mentioning C'en.
<DeathStar> *A dock C'en turns to look at C'en
<DeathStar> *rr, Ruhi*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi jabs a thumb to the sign and dock
<DeathStar> *Seniga stops, frowning*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> when does the native boat thinger come back
<Seraphna> Nell> "Interesting strategy... asking..."
<DeathStar> <Dock C'en> It should be around the river.
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga shakes her head and continues around the river like the arrow directed
<Seraphna> * Nell shrugs and follows her.
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae follows Seniga, still clearly despising C'en for whatever reason
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi nods
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> and if its not, when would it be
<DeathStar> <Dock C'en> I do not know. It is a Native ship. We do not interefere with their affairs, as they wish of us
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi's ears flatten
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> well thanks I guess
<Xanatos> 6* Bix chirps a bit more, keeping himself entertained while he waits.
<DeathStar> <Dock C'en> *the dock worker nods back, helping a human to board, who is well dressed*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi turns to catch up with the others
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What did they say?"
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga walks toward that appears to be the Native Dock. They are rotting, the boards creaking as Seniga walks along them. The ship is there as well, floating, but dry rotting. The building seems to be in shambles. The whole place reeks of disuse, as if people do not come here often
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> that if its not there, they dont know when it;ll be back cause its none of their business
<Xanatos> <Bix> Warning: Structural integrity at minimal levels.
<DeathStar> *Seniga eyes the place, frowning at the condition. Cloe trots along, falling into a hole as the dock creaks*
<Seraphna> Nell> "Well at least it's here. I half expected some sort of raft."
<Seraphna> * Nell grabs Cloe up and puts her on a shoulder.
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae's shadow turns into a beast and swallows Chloe before she falls
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...raft mioght be safer. Look at it!"
<DeathStar> <Cloe> Meow
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi does an about face
<DeathStar> <Seniga> D-Did the C'en do this? *she moves to the door, pushing it open*
<Chaintan> <Ruji> thats it
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae peers over her shoulder upside-down and the shadow spits it out into Nell's arms
<Chaintan> Ruhi^
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga peers inside, and spots what looks like the Captain inside
<Xanatos> 6* Bix prods the ship
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I'm getting on that other boat
<DeathStar> 6* A human sits in his chair, drinking alcohol, sitting there
<DeathStar> *sitting there mumbling
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi marches back to the C'en boat
<Sara> * Cherie frowns, hiding behind Bella
<Jackieness> <Bella> "You know we cna't board a C'en ship."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> we'll drown like rats on that
<DeathStar> <Seniga> ... *she steps inside* Are you the boat captain? What happened here?
<Seraphna> Nell> *pets Cloe* Us kitties gotta stick together.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Rats: Surprising swimming capabilities.
<DeathStar> *The Native Captain jerks, nearly dropping his drink, peering up.* Oh. People. *he mumbles.* What do you all want?
<DeathStar> *Ruhi would see more people boarding. Mostly C'en, but one or two rich looking humans*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> To use the Native ship to cross. But it is a wreck. Did the C'en do it?
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi looks about to at least try and negotiate boarding even if it means work
<DeathStar> <Captain> Oh. No... no. Humans rarely travel anywhere. So business dried up. Then I started drinking more and more, so when I did have business, I was usually drunk. Ran the ship aground
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *stares in disbelief, turning to the others*
<Seraphna> * Nell rubs her head.
<DeathStar> *the Captain of the ship is off to the side, nodding to those boarding*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> But we need to cross over!
<Sara> * Cherie is looking in the direction Ruhi went
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi's ears perk and moves to the caprain
<Chaintan> captain^
<Xanatos> 6* Bix idley pushes on the boat a few times, observing it.
<DeathStar> <Native Captain> I-I'm sorry. Only ships that cross these days are C'en ships. But you need either a Class A license, or to buy a boat pass. But maybe if I plead yer case.... *Seniga eyes the drunk man* I mean it is my fault...
<DeathStar> *The boat sinks as Bix does*
<DeathStar> *Seniga eyes their licenses, being B's*
<DeathStar> *The Captain turns to Ruhi*
<Seraphna> Nell> "If it was metal maybe I could do something but this..."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix jerks back, looking left and right. He peers up the the sky
<DeathStar> *Seniga steps back out, her belief in the Natives shaken* I- guess we have no choice but to go back. Tenebrae, you'll have to use the bracelet and focus on hiding your spirit self
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> sir, I need to negotiate passage on this boat
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...your boat finished sinking."
<DeathStar> <Captain> Do you have a Class A passage? or a Boat passage?
<Xanatos> 6* Bix nods to Seniga quickly and begins to march away quickly.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi provides what she has
<DeathStar> *The Native Captain eye it, saluting the boat, his lips trembling*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I dont need a good room, I can work out of sight too but theres no other way to cross
<Seraphna> * Nell sighs and moves back.
<DeathStar> <Captain> This is a B pass. I'm afraid the only way you might get on is if one of the C'en passengers agree to be your patron. It's not that I wouldn't agree to bend the rules, but we have a lot of C'en nobles aboard
<DeathStar> *Seniga walks up, spotting Ruhi talking to the captain*
<Sara> * Cherie mouths the word nobles and then keeps moving her mouth a little bit, as if it tastes bad in there
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae salutes Seniga about hiding, rattling about mention of C'en, but then drops down into her shadow.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi's face falls for a moment with a spot of desperation in her eyes before she firms up
<DeathStar> 6* Another group of C'en nobles arrive, their boned counter parts escorts them up the platform. One looks rather young*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> so I have to ask for one of them to be my patron
<DeathStar> *Seniga follows them up the ramp, peering at Ruhi, while the drunk Captain bows and pleads the Captain for mercy. The Captain nods to Ruhi, while he deals with the drunk Captain
<DeathStar> <Seniga> You learn anything?
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> the only way we can get on is if the C'en are our patrons
<Xanatos> 6* Bix does a weird chirp whistle and looks away every time the human captain is around.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I see.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Maybe there is another way to cross..."
<DeathStar> *She eyes the current group getting their tickets. The youngest seems to be in command, despite there being adults. She pats the sobbing Captain, asking him what is wrong
<Seraphna> Nell> "Maybe her?"
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi moves to try and see if she can win any C'en's interest
<DeathStar> <Robed C'en Girl> I see. We will build you a new ship. That sounds horrible. *she checks the time. Let us go before it is time to leave*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I guess we can try. *she wiggles Cherie at the robed girl to get her attention, making the girl stop*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Um, miss?
<Xanatos> <Bix> Young miss? 6* He waves an arm along with the wiggling Cloe. Doing his part.
<DeathStar> <Young C'en> Can I...help you?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...what are you doing?!" *dagger-eyes at Seniga for using Cherie as bait*
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga holfs out Cherie*
<Seraphna> * Nell pokes Bella's side. "It's okay.":
<Sara> * Cherie looks discombobulated; tries to hide her panic
<DeathStar> <Seniga> This poor girl needs to cross the river. To meet with her mother
<Xanatos> <Bix> Request: Transport. Need: Patron!
<DeathStar> <Seniga> But the Native boat is broken. Can we ask you to help us? We cna't get on without patronage
<DeathStar> <Robed C'en> I see. *with her face hidden, it's hard to tell if it worked, but the C'en pauses, then moves to the Captain, talking*
<DeathStar> 6* Then she steps onto the ship. A moment later, the captain walks over, and hands them all Boat passes
<DeathStar> <Captain> Please enter. Your room is on the pass
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi exhales with relief
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga sets Cherie down, patting her head
<Sara> * Cherie looks at Seniga with a scrunched nose
<Seraphna> * Nell takes hers and nods, carrying Cloe on.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Sorry about that. She steps onto the ship. The first thing that greets them is lights, the hallway covred in lights
<Sara> * Cherie is probably exercising a great deal of restraint right now
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi scoops up Cherie and boards with her
<Jackieness> <Bella> *purses her lips as she steps on board*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix whirs in delight and steps on.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems they are in the passenger section of the ship. Stairs lead both up and down. Seniga reads. It seems higher up leads to entertainment floors, and lower down leads to more passenger floors. Seniga eyes the pass and goes down a floor, leading them to what looks like the VIP section. She ues the pass and the doors open to a huge room, complete with a bathroom, snack bar, and small mini pool
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks as she looks at her own pass
<DeathStar> *They all seem to be in the same room*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *steps into the room* "... ... ...wow..."
<DeathStar> 6* Though with the size it's not a problem
<Seraphna> * Nell peers around. "W-Where are we? Are we in trouble?"
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>....since Cherie did the work she gets the bed
<Xanatos> 6* Bix boops in delight as he marches around the room looking at things.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I don't know. *the boat shifts, slowly moving. Seniga peers out the small window, eyeing the boat moving. Seniga nods, peering at the two beds*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi moves and places Cherie down on the bed
<Sara> * Cherie sits on it, legs crossed
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi crouches infront of Cherie
<Jackieness> <Bella> *puts the packs she is carrying down*
<Seraphna> * Nell peers around, then slowly crawls under one of the beds.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I'm sorry that had to happen that way
<DeathStar> *A voice on the intercomm speaks* The game rooms on the floors have opened up and the dining hall will open in an hour
<Sara> * Cherie gives a small nod in response
<Xanatos> <Bix> Game?
<DeathStar> *Seniga sits down in a chair, letting out a breath*
<Seraphna> * Nell peers out. "Like... tag or something?"
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi strokes her hair
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches out of the room, trying to find the games.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> but you did a good job, thank you Cherie
<Sara> * Cherie whispers about not understanding why people keep doing things like that to her
<DeathStar> *At that moment, the door beeps and the robed C'en comes in, moving over to the free bed*
<Seraphna> * Nell hides under it again.
<DeathStar> *the small girl climbs up on the bed and sits down*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi's eyes fall downcast as she tries to find the words to explain when she twists to look at the C'en
<Seraphna> Nell> *from under the bed* "Didn't touch nothin'"
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...sooo..." *shoots a look over at Seniga*
<DeathStar> <C'en> I see you all made it. I can't wait to talk and learn more. I rarely get to meet Natives. *she turns to Cherie* I hope we can become friends. *she pulls the robe off, shaking her hair free, revealing a blonde haired girl with blue eyes* So please, tell me more.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I-I think I will leave that to you all. I have to go check on Bix
<DeathStar> *she retreats*
<Sara> * Cherie blinks and gives a small nod, looking to Ruhi and tugging on her
<DeathStar> *The C'en girl pouts, turning back to Cherie*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi deadpans at Seniga before she looks down at Cherie and loosely holding her close
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> the little miss is special, she doesnt talk too much
<Seraphna> Nell> *from under the bed* "Are we in trouble?"
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> Aw. Vocal cord damage? I could help with that. *she peers at them holding each other, musing* Trouble?
<DeathStar> <C'en> Why? Did you do something... bad?
<DeathStar> *she lingers on the last word*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi shakes her head
<Seraphna> Nell> "N-No."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> no, the little miss is just a sensitive one
<Seraphna> Nell> "Just... not normally allowed in a place like this."
<DeathStar> *The C'en slowly peers down under the bed, her blue eyes going red*
<DeathStar> <C'en girl> You stuttered.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...we're not used to being around C'en. Nerves."
<Seraphna> Nell> "Y-Yeah."
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> I gotcha. *when she looks back up at the others, her eyes are blue. No one else seeing the red*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> Miss...we're appreciative of your kindness but we're all out of our element
<DeathStar> <C'en girl> *she pulls Nell out, setting her on the bed*
<Seraphna> Nell> *shivers*
<Seraphna> Nell> "You're strong..."
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> You want me to go, out of my own room? *she pouts*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks and looks around, not sure herself where that line of reasoning came from
<DeathStar> *The C'en girl looks 12ish maybe, her hands twiddling together* You all look so nervous and say you're out of your element
<DeathStar> <C'en girl> I feel like I'm making you uncomfortable
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi shakes her head
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> we've literally never traveled, much less on a boat
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> Oh, okay. *she pulls Bella, Ruhi, and Cherie onto the bed* Then lets talk. We'll take turns*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Upper decks
<Xanatos> 6* Bix looks for the game.
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga walks around what seems to be VR type games, gambling type games, games to test the mind, etc. Being the Suizen Faction there are no fighting games
<Xanatos> 6* Bix looms over a gambling game, watching it but not able to participate if it needs money.
<DeathStar> *Seniga eyes the C'en, some are about to remove their robes. Thinking that the humans here are oky. They slide the robes off, revealing what looks to be aurit/famfrit hybrid like aliens, with yellowish eyes
<DeathStar> *they seem to be gambling with some sort of strange colored gems*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> What are weird place.
<kalonZombie> 6*LJ looks around for food
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *she moves to the side of the boat, watching the river. The boat barely moves, going slow for the passenger's comfort*
<DeathStar> *There seems to be none*
<Xanatos> <Bix> Greetings: Seniga. 6* He steps up to her.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Colored gem > Trading game.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Bix. - okay?
<Xanatos> 6* Bix points a few times
<Xanatos> <Bix> Fun?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I don't know. Never played it before. Not interested in playing with C'en
<Xanatos> 6* Bix stares at her for a moment, trying to process.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Why?
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the time, another 20 minutes until the dinner hall opens. She shuddders, since that means having to eat with C'en
<DeathStar> <Seniga> They took everything from me. I'm not interested in making nice with them. If you are, go ask for some colored gems. I'm sure they will
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga shrugs
<Xanatos> <Bix> Everything? 6* He chirps sadly.
<DeathStar> *Seniga muses* Yeah, just about
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<kalonZombie> <LJ> No appetisers. They suck.
<DeathStar> Location: Room
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> So, why are you all traveling?
<DeathStar> *She puts on a cute gothic lolita outfit for dinner*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi works on washing Cherie's hair
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>we all have different reasons
<Sara> * Cherie has her eyes closed, trying to avoid anything getting in them
<Seraphna> Nell> "Make a life for ourselves outside the junk heaps. But yeah, varying reasons."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "That's my little sister, so I'm sticking with her." *indicates Cherie*
<DeathStar> *The C'en girl leans in to watch Cherie* I see. You should be careful out there. It's not all fun and games in the Native Cities
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi whispers to Cherie she's going to rince her before pouring warm sweet smelling water over her
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx curls up in a nearby chair, her tail twitching slightly*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> well thats why I'm with them
<Sara> * Cherie makes a small sound, but she seems to remain calm, in Ruhi's care
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I look after them
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...yeah... Ruhi is the oldest."
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> Maybe, but it might be rough for you, too. Us C'en do not watch over the Native Cities. *she smiles coldly* Since we agreed not to. We check in once a year to make sure they're not building a bomb or breaking rules, but there's the other days of the year that they can flaunt it against us and so.
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> Old laws like prostituting again, using Biotects as slave workers, using Aurit or Fauna as their toys, so on
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi envelopes Cherie in the plushest and softest towel and dries her off
<Seraphna> * Nell frowns a bit.
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> You ever change your mind, you can seek out one of our cities
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> that wont happen to them
<DeathStar> *The bell rings for dinner* <C'en Girl> Fair enough. *she pats Ruhi> I'll save a table for you all. *She steps out, the door beeping. A moment later, Seniga walks in, peering around
<DeathStar> <Seniga> She's gone, thank the spir-- Thank goodness.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix walks in behind her.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Gem trading games!
<Seraphna> * Nell rubs her head a little. "Yeah... a little scary, that one."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> she's just different
<Seraphna> Nell> "You didn't see her eyes glow red."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...Ruhi, I got a seriously bad vibe about all this."
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi slides a clean dress over Cherie before she combs at her hair
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *she hands Cherie a few things she got on the top floors. A VR handheld and a toy that dances*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> To apologize
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> I know but we need to play nice
<DeathStar> <Seniga> We could hide in here and not eat?
<kalonZombie> <LJ> WOuld they look for us?
<Xanatos> 6* Bix stands off to the side marveling at a gem he found on the floor
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> you really want to go hungry?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Totally not suspicious at all..."
<Seraphna> Nell> "...My stomach demands food."
<Sara> * Cherie looks at Seniga but doesn't say anything
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Fine. Alrighr. *she eyes the closet for anything good and finds some clothes. She dresses and steps out a moment later in the same lolita like outfit, though Seniga has ripped it in parts*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Okay, lets do this
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx has already fallen asleep in the large cushioned chair, curled up with a very kittenish look on her face*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi rubs the back of her head, only having what she's got
<Seraphna> * Nell tilts her head and shrugs, getting up to go.
<Xanatos> <Bix> I want: clothing!
<kalonZombie> 6*LJ follows Nell, but then blinjks and moves to Jinx to wake her up
<DeathStar> <Seniga> ... *she pats Bix and moves down the hallway, waiting at the staircase
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi looks to Bella
<Xanatos> 6* Bix lets out a sad whir and marches after her.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...somehow I doubt those clothes will fit me...so you and Cherie coming?"
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi nods and stands up, offering a hand to Cherie
<Sara> * Cherie takes Ruhi's hand
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi heads after Seniga with Cherie and Bella
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae pssts from Seniga's shadow
<DeathStar> *Seniga leads them up to the top floor, where the night sky has fallen. The dining hall is on the top deck, under the stars. Part of it is covered in case it rains/gets called, though tonight it is fully opened up. The sight of the river is all around them. The tables are filled with the C'en nobles ucovered, and there's music being played, a haunting tune. The singer and person playing the instrument seem to be unearthly with their ability
<DeathStar> <Seniga> ?
<DeathStar> 6* Most of the tables are full already, with several C'en, though a table or two has a human sitting, mingling, or humans alone to a table. However, one table alone has the blonde girl. Sevral C'en give her a glance now and again, as if she is someone important
<kalonZombie> 6*LJ assumes his sister's player will wake her up and walks in all dressed up
<DeathStar> 6* Once she spots them, she waves her hand, calling out to them to join her, drawing eyes to the team now, some surprised they are joining whoever the blonde C'en is now
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Great....
<Xanatos> 6* Bix seems entranced by the singer, staring after he takes a seat.
<kalonZombie> <LJ> Know who she is?
<Seraphna> * Nell blushes a bit but goes over to sit.
<Kemonohime> <Tenebrae> Little C'en have eyes like Tenebrae-called
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae sinks back down, hiding again
<Jackieness> <Bella> *walks over and takes a seat*
<Chaintan> 6*as does Ruhi
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Okay? *she sits at the table. The blonde peers Seniga over, studying her hard, before smiling at the others*
<Sara> * And Cherie between them
<DeathStar> <Girl> You finally came, *she hands over the menus. There is a list of foods there that sound amazing, some before the invasion, like Geyze dishes, or even Kumen, but some also seem to be foreign sounding, perhaps from offworld? Sushi, Miso Soup, etc.
<Seraphna> * Nell drools.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi reads over few
<Xanatos> 6* Bix snaps out of it and peers at the menu looking confused.
<kalonZombie> 6*LJ blinks at Nell "What are you thinking of getting?
<DeathStar> *Wine arrives for them all. The girl drinks it, despite looking Cherie's ag
<Jackieness> <Bella> "..I don't know what half this stuff is..."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Uh, Ham-bue-gah I guess
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> thats a meat paddy
<Seraphna> Nell> "Beef. Ramen."
<kalonZombie> <LJ> Chicken... phar-mee-shawn?
<Xanatos> <Bix> Far Mi Shawn!
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>....
<Xanatos> <Bix> Bue gah! 6* Bix doesn't actually order, just seems to enjoy repeating the new words.
<Sara> * Cherie looks at the wine, but doesn't touch it
<DeathStar> *the waiters go off with their orders*
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> So, are you all enjoying yourselves so far?
<Xanatos> <Bix> Yes! Gem trading.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> actually I'm starting to feel how much its taken out of me
<Xanatos> 6* Bix holds up the gem he found on the floor.
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> *she nods* You get a massage before you get off.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks
<Seraphna> Nell> "What's that? Does it hurt?"
<DeathStar> *Seniga looks like she wants to interrogate the C'en for information, not knowing the others think she is dangerous*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>...isnt that how babies are made
<Seraphna> Nell> "What!?"
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> That is through the c- through sex. I can show you later if you want. Ha ha
<DeathStar> *she smacks her hand down, laughing*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Muh?"
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> A massage is where someone rubs your body to relax it
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi's ears flatten a bit
<kalonZombie> 6*LJ suddenly pays much more attention to the girl
<DeathStar> *Seniga jerks, her question lost8
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> well you get naked and start touching eachother
<DeathStar> *The blonde girl finishes her wine as their food arrives
<DeathStar> <C'en girl> Only you get naked. You don't touch back
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Ruhi!"
<DeathStar> <C'en Girl> Touching back would be sec
<Xanatos> <Bix> Rub. Each other.
<DeathStar> *Seniga is still thrown off asking questions*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix rubs Nell's face with his cold metal hand.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Massage!
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> w-what
<Seraphna> * Nell squeaks.
<DeathStar> *The C'en smiles evilly
<DeathStar> <C'en> I will show you tonight what a massage is then
<Seraphna> Nell> "I-I'm not going to have kids now am I?"
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Stop helping to make the conversation dirty!"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Er-I--
<kalonZombie> <LJ> ...Go on.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Bix Jr.
<DeathStar> *she throws up her hands, her mind short circuited, unable to ask the blonde a single question
<Seraphna> * Nell shivers.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>....but what about that...low-tion
<DeathStar> <C'en> Done
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Location: Room
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga drools, unconscious when the blonde, still in her lolita outfit, has Ruhi lay first down, too out of it to ask follow us
<DeathStar> *Cloe growls, eyeing the blonde*
<Seraphna> * Nell peers over other outfits.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks
<DeathStar> <C'en> You can all watch if you want. *she kneads Ruhi's back, after lotioning her back,*
<DeathStar> <C'en> Then you simply work out the kinks
<Chaintan> 6*A long scar runs down her side towards her back
<Seraphna> * Nell selects a gown and starts changing into it.
<kalonZombie> 6*LJ doesn't watch out of respect
<Xanatos> 6* Bix gets bored and focuses on his gem, quietly playing a recording of the song from dinner.
<DeathStar> *C'en keeps it up, getting the kinks out, when there is a knock. Seniga snaps out of it as Cheryl moves to answer it. Standing at the door is a tall fox with white hair, and eight tails
<Kemonohime> * The shadows about Seniga flicker slightly, Tenebrae clearly keeping watch over her
<DeathStar> <C'en> M?
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks and side glances
<Seraphna> * Nell peers over, adjusting the gown.
<DeathStar> 6* The fox eyes the room, frowning in disguist at the C'en girl playing around. She looks familiarish from Seniga's datapad talks
<Xanatos> 6* Bix peers up at the new person, staring
<DeathStar> <M> You are needed to help with something. Quit playing around. *The C'en girl frowns, her aura changing completly. She turns to the others* <C'en Girl> I have to go. I hope we meet again
<DeathStar> *the two step out, the door shutting*
<Xanatos> <Bix> Goodbye!
<kalonZombie> <LJ> ...Okaaaaaay.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...ok..." *then eyes Ruhi* "Seriously?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> So much for getting answers now
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae jumps out of Seniga's shadow atop her
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi sits up a finger to her lips as she listens for how far away they are
<Xanatos> <Bix> Weird aura.
<Seraphna> Nell> "She'll be back."
<Kemonohime> <Tenebrae> Th'eraanieuu! Kiizuune a'tieana zanu!!
<kalonZombie> <LJ> Yeah probably
<Xanatos> <Bix> Unknown dialect.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>of course its weird, but like I said, its not gonna do us any good to bite the hand thats getting us across the water
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...yeha...but I think she's dangerous..."
<DeathStar> *it seems they are already gone*
<Sara> * Cherie gestures that she agrees with Bella
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>all the more reason to not stay on their radar
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae flails at Seniga more
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Speak Basic
<Seraphna> Nell> "That other one seemed kind of familiar though."
<kalonZombie> <LJ> How?
<Seraphna> Nell> "From the stories we listened to."
<Kemonohime> <Tenebrae> Ah! Uh!
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae panics excitedly. "... Ah... Many-tail... smell like spirit... why with C'en!?
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae shakes Seniga, looking confused. "Why with C'en!"
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> and if she's content to just talking and playing with men then fine
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I have no idea
<Kemonohime> * Tenebrae recoils back, sulking
<Xanatos> <Bix> Fox lady: High rank?
<Seraphna> Nell> "Probably."
<DeathStar> *Seniga pats her head*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> But we'll find out
<kalonZombie> 6*LJ nods
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> -Next Day-
<DeathStar> 6* Seniga steps off the boat on the other side. Cloe rides on Cherie's shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* The blonde C'en is there already on the other side
<Kemonohime> * Seniga's shadow quivers
<Seraphna> * Luci steps off and stretches, yawning.
<DeathStar> *Seniga jerks, cursing*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> How did you-?!
<Xanatos> 6* Bix steps off, chirping along with the tune they heard.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks at the Cen
<Kemonohime> * Seniga's shadow spreads slowly, subtle, gradually becoming like a hydra along the ground, encircling the blond while he eyes the group, as if about to try to consume her.
<DeathStar> *The blonde is about to chat, when her eyes go red*
<DeathStar> *she turns toward the shadow, as if about to see it*
<Kemonohime> * It snaps back to 'normal'
<Xanatos> <Bix> Goodbye: C'en. 6* He waves.
<DeathStar> <C'en> ... *she eyes Seniga, as if making a mental note of her*
<DeathStar> <C'en> I wanted to say goodbye. I hope we talk again. I don't get to meet a lot of people. I hope we can be friends
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...uhhh... thanks."
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi nods
<Seraphna> Nell> "That... might be nice. Thank you for the help crossing."
<kalonZombie> <LJ> O...kay.
<DeathStar> *she hands Ruhi and Cheri a small wrapped box.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> thank you for helping us
<Xanatos> <Bix> Thank you.
<DeathStar> <C'en> It's just the decent thing to do.
<DeathStar> <C'en> *she walks over to Seniga and taps her shoulder, then the blonde walks off*
<DeathStar> *Seniga swallows, shaking a bit as the blonde leaves. She eyes herself*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...what just happened?"
<Xanatos> 6* Bix peers Seniga over
<DeathStar> 6* This side of the river, there is still grasslands, but now plants and beautiful flowers grow too*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> someone...put us oon their radar thats what
<DeathStar> *Seniga still seems the same. Or is she?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...this is bad..."
<Seraphna> * Nell gently puts a hand on her shoulder. "Breathe... and let's make some distance."
<Xanatos> <Bix> Destination. 6* He points in the direction of the city.
<DeathStar> *Ruki's gift seems to be a small vial that reads: Drink when you need to to help protect those small ones*
<DeathStar> *While Cherie's is a journal to write down her thoughts/feelings to "let it speak your thoughts for you*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> O-Okay, lets get moving. *she walks in the direction of the Native City*
<Sara> * Cherie blinks
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches along.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi blinks and pockets it
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...not weird at all."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi>...I did warn you guys
<DeathStar> *Seniga pulls out Tenebrae to let her walk on her own now*
<Seraphna> * Nell begins moving along.
<Kemonohime> * Seniga's shadow becomes a cat-like shape again, looking like it's hissing back at the C'en, then jerks as she inverts to normal form out of Seniga's shadow
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Kemonohime> * She swirls around Seniga over and over, eyeing her and looking her over, frowning with a finger to her lip
<DeathStar> Location: Up ahead
<DeathStar> *A shadow figure of a girl speaks into a radio speaker, trying to get the Natives to rise up and do something about the C'en
<DeathStar> 6* Unaware that someone called M is ever growing closer to her location due to the broadcasts
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> Minis are open of course
