<DeathStar> 6.24.5991 - 4 days after the Duality scenes in Session 51's Aftermath
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> 6* The Academy has decided that with people going missing, with many of Geyze and Kumen remembering the alternate future and responding to it in various ways, some arming themselves, others trying to use the technology that will come to pass by trying to make it pass sooner, and others paranoidly preparing for an enemy that was already set back by the actions of our heroesm the Academy needs to do their mandate
<DeathStar> 6* Bring Geyze together as one. And if possible, bring Geyze and Kumen together as one. They somehow need to unite all the rulers together in some uniting pack. But how?
<DeathStar> 6* The footwork has been laid over the past year and a half. But they need to bring it home
<DeathStar> 6* Shion stands with Unit 6 and Miyuki, leaning on her staff. Rain is also present
<DeathStar> 6* Qui sits in the back, silent, brooding
* Xanatos` has joined #Dual-Session151
<DeathStar> <Shion> Does anyone have a suggestion on who we should begin with?
<Luci> Alita> "I would say we start with those we have the strongest ties and friendships with, that wya the more difficult ones we can use weight of peers on."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...we need to end the distrust between the dark Lands and the Hapian Dynasty."
<Vyvy> <Vyvy> Would be nice. I mean, I get along fine with you guys... home getting along would be ideal.
<Luci> Alita> "Qui is already with us, so that's a start, we have a strong friendship with the Empress of the Daemon Realm... and... yes, we have an obvious connection to the Hapian Dynasty to work ith."
<Xanatos`> <Simon> Are any of the options...an easy sell? Could go from order of least difficult to most difficult.
<DeathStar> <Qui> I cannot say how stable the Amazons will be right now. So do not count on me
<Luci> Alita> "Oh... forgive me for presuming upon you."
<Vyvy> <Vyvy> We can't sell it to them, Qui?
<Luci> Alita> "...I guess we also have the repaired relationship between Mykel and his cousins."
<Vyvy> <Vyvy> I mean, there's no point in being stubborn about homeland if there IS no homeland if they don't get their act together..
<DeathStar> <Qui> I have been rebonded with my brother. That might take my Amazon sisters back. Give me time
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The situation with Gwen adds an unstable element on that front."
<DeathStar> <Rain> If you do not mind me speaking me?
<Luci> Alita> "Of course Rain... you always have valuable intel."
<Vyvy> It's not like it was on purpose... and I still remember taking care of you both when it was that way before..." She eyes Rain, bowing her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Rain goes to rise up when suddenly there's a crash through Miyuki's ceiling. Isis jerks back, moving the cubs out of the way when someone that looks like Ellie and Sylph combined lands on the floor, along with bits of ceiling
<Luci> * Alita squeaks and hops back, Talia valaintly saves Qui.
<DeathStar> 6* Ellie glows with wind power and four slyph like wings, the power of wind emitting from her
<Luci> Talia> "Husband-Wife!"
<DeathStar> <Shion> ... *she peers up, then at Miyuki's desk covered in debris
<Vyvy> Sylph...!
<Sara> * Ellie groans, rubbing her head
<Vyvy> ... And Ellie..? Sylphie?
<Xanatos`> 6* Simon stares.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...what?"
<Vyvy> You've done what Saoirse did." She blinks.
<Luci> Talia> "Everyone! I found Ellie!"
<Chaintan> <Miyuki>...my desk
<DeathStar> <Shion> I did not know that was possible. For a person to combine with a spirit. Well, besides Kumen spirits
<Vyvy> But with a great spirit? I'm.. kind of jealous." She sniffs.
<Xanatos`> 6* Simon moves over and leans over to check Sylph-Ellie vitals
<DeathStar> <Qui> Uh, thanks, Talia
<DeathStar> 6* Simon would find them hyper racing
<Luci> * Talia nods, proud.
<Luci> * Alita blinks. "She alive, Simon?"
<Xanatos`> <Simon> Hold on, her heart rate is very quick.
<DeathStar> 6* Ellie glows bright then Sylph flutters beside a normal Ellie
<Luci> * Alita moves over tohelp, being a healing mage.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Whoaaa....
<Vyvy> Of course it is, she's linked with Sylph. She's like a humming bird.
* Vyvy plucks Sylph, squinting at her.
<Luci> Talia> "I also found Sylph!"
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph aieees, flailing
<Vyvy> Undine and I have been looking everywhere for you.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I was with Ellie! <3
<Vyvy> Is Ellie... okay?
<Xanatos`> <Simon> You alright? 6* He says to Ellie
<Luci> * Talia nods.
<Luci> * Alita checks over Ellie.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "How did you do that?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> With the power of love! ... and friendship! Love anda friendship!
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph does the peace sign
<Vyvy> I guess it wasn't something unique to Saorise or her weapon-like race.
<Luci> Talia> "Love and fish!"
<Sara> * Ellie is rubbing her head as she looks quietly at Alita
<Xanatos`> <Simon> Hm. Well, that was quite the distraction!
<Luci> Alita> She seems fine... other than a bump on the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Rain waits for her report, then notes
<DeathStar> <Rain> Maybe it was her virgin purity
<Vyvy> You're telling me I can't do it!?
<DeathStar> 6* Rain shows her fangs
* Vyvy puffs her cheeks.
<Luci> Alita> "Potential taken so long ago..."
<Vyvy> Just you wait, I'll succeed Kalam yet.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem... shall we return to business?"
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki grumbles as the cubs clean the desk
<Luci> Talia> "Yes! Rain about to tell us super secret Rain stuff!"
<Vyvy> Yes, Lady Rain, do tell." She sneers back at the vampire.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Anyway. *Qui pulls a chair up for Ellie to rest
<Sara> * Ellie sits
<Vyvy> * Vyvy tugs on Sylph, venting some frustration but not being malicious; She whispers to her about something private.
<DeathStar> <Rain> It's about the missing people. I think there may be more to it, something more sinister. The Daemon queen asked me to look into her missing sister, claiming she had two. I only remember her having one.
<Sara> * Ellie glances at Vyvy
<Xanatos`> <Simon> Hm, two sisters?
<DeathStar> <Rain> But the notes I wrote down indicated I did remember having two at one point
<Luci> * Alita frowns. "You only remember one?"
<DeathStar> <Rain> This leads me to believe that people are starting to forget the missing people
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Why? How?"
<Vyvy> * Vyvy winces slightly.
<Luci> Alita> "She was... with our team before..."
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph flusters at Vyvy
<Luci> * Alita frowns.
<Xanatos`> 6* Simon glances to Alita, a fluster look on his face as he thinks, but then realizes it was probably before his time, hence not knowing.
<DeathStar> <Rain> That means that likely Celes and Liana will be forgotten too in time. Which means that it might be a bid for power
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "A bid for power?"
<Luci> Alita> "But... how would that work? THey're in the line for succession but there are others."
<Vyvy> * Vyvy gently pats Sylphs head, mumbling something about 'think on it' then holds out her palm and gives her a gentle breeze of manipulated wind mana toward Ellie.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Celes and Liana would be the natural picks besides you. A sister that is forgotten. There may be others we've forgotten. If something happened to you, then Selena would be next, who could be manipulated
<DeathStar> <Rain> She may be older now due to the paradox, by a few years, but she is five
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Why did they not go directly for me then?"
<Vyvy> I'm pretty certain Selena won't be... manipulated. At least not much or long.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Likely you were too hard to find during this entire thing.
<Xanatos`> <Simon> Maybe they were the easier targets.
<DeathStar> <Rain> So my suggestion is the Hapian Dynasty
<DeathStar> <Rain> Begin there for answers
<Vyvy> It's the most troublesome piece, no offense. I'd have to agree.
<Sara> * Ellie thinks on all of this and Hapian with a frown
<Xanatos`> <Simon> I confess I would love to return home, if but for a little while.
<Luci> Alita> "It does tie into fastening relations between the Hapians and the Daemons."
<Luci> Alita> "Including the shared mystery."
<Vyvy> Ever since that Flood of Light, I think we should probably start early on mending the bridges.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then next... the Hapian palace."
<DeathStar> <Rain> also I would not worry too much about the Daemons. You may be surprised
<DeathStar> 6* Shion turns to Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Shion> Well mother, when you finish here, I am sure your presence there would do wonders. I will go in your place until you are ready
<Luci> Alita> "MAybe not surprised. We always were the more sensible crowd." *she winks to Rain*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6.26.5991
<DeathStar> 6* The flying carriage draws closer to the Hapian capital. Rain jots notes, while Slyph rides on Ellie's head, chatting with her
<DeathStar> 6* Shade comes along, despite being pregnant with twins
<Luci> * Alita muses, showing Talia a new trick of mana as they ride.
<Xanatos`> 6* Simon hums to himself as he peers out of the carriage
<Vyvy> * Vyvy leans against Shade, stroking her arm gently.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion studies information as the carriage begins to land inside the capital. Rain pauses
<DeathStar> <Rain> Hm. Who are we coming here for again? *She notes. Not having the same connection to Liana/Celes like the rest, it seems she has forgetten*
<Sara> * Ellie seems to be feeling a bit better, giving Sylph a slight tickle
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "My sister Celes..."
<Luci> Alita> "And our friend Liana, her wife."
<DeathStar> <Rain> ... right! Sorry. *she rubs her face*
<Vyvy> <Vyvy> Maybe I should bite you and transfer some of my connection." She flashes her teeth at Rain
<DeathStar> 6* Rain steps out of the carriage onto the modern grounds of the main capital, where the steam punk nature of the city can be seen, spirits powering the lights and other vechicles
<DeathStar> <Rain> If you want me to drain you dry you can do so
* Xanatos` has quit IRC
<Luci> * Alita steps out with Talia in kitten form on her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* A suitcase jerks about near Sasha
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses in his humming, glancing to the suitcase.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns to the suitcase, raising a brow*
<Xanatos> <Simon> What was that?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion carries Miyuki in fox form, moving for the castle
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...I am thinking my niece Selena."
<Luci> Alita> "Creative, but that has to be terribly uncomforterable..."
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki's tails flick
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves over to open the suitcase*
<DeathStar> 6* Selena pops out, gasping for air
<DeathStar> <Selena> That fox girl could have given me some air.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Astute. 6* He nods to Sasha.
<Luci> Alita> "I..."
<Vyvy> Tch, relax, Lady Rain. And here I was thinking of naming the twin after you.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Just a warning. When bit I get excited
<Vyvy> Yes, I remember.
<DeathStar> *Rain grins at her with fangs showing as she walks up to the barrier, peering at the fog*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Selena, what are you doing here?"
<Luci> Alita> "Probably heard what we were here for."
<DeathStar> <Selena> If this is about rescuing my moms, I had to come. They might need me. *She hops out in a cute princess outfit, then rushes along before Sasha can stop her*
* Vyvy plucks Selena up, holding her by the nape like she does to Sylph sometimes.
<DeathStar> 6* Selena flails
<DeathStar> <Selena> Damn this small body...
<DeathStar> 6* She sulks like only a kid can
<Vyvy> I'm sure Tenebrae would be livid you got a headstart on her.
<Luci> Alita> "Tis could be a good thing."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "It is too late to send you back now. Come then, but stay alert.
<Luci> Alita> "Selena will likely be the last person to forget them."
<Vyvy> But it would seem we have a missing link for the fading memory. Come along, little niece-removed." She puts her on her shoulders, carrying her.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...could be dangerous.
<Vyvy> I'll protect her.
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph helps Ellie along, turning big to offer har arm
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Come along my lady! Tee hee
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph tries to act all lady like
<Sara> * Ellie blinks
<Sara> * Ellie comes along, though
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the castle, which exists partially in the spirit dimension, Sylph pauses, peering around oddly.
<DeathStar> 6* Rain keeps walking to enter the castle proper
<Luci> ALita> "Something up Sylph?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon peers around curiously.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *continues forward toward the main entrance*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon walks along, arms pulled behind his back as he goes.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Something feels wrong, like something has been...co-opted here. But I'm not the main spirit here. Aska would be the one to ask I guess. *As they finish enter, they reach the castle proper. Rain waits for Sasha to get them in. The Hapian castle being huge, a city unto it self, but it's kept small due to parts of it being in the spirit dimension. Parts of the castle literally vanishing in the strange world
<DeathStar> 6* Selena runs up to the guards, who peer down, blinking at the young princess looking older
<DeathStar> <Selena> I want to see grandmother now
* Vyvy frowns, musing about what Sylph said
<DeathStar> 6* They peer up at Vyvy who is with Selena
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps forward to the guardsman* "Announce the arrival of the Crown Princess."
<DeathStar> <Guard> I am afraid the queen is ill
<DeathStar> <Guard> But we will arrange escort for you
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly there is a flash of bright light and Aska appears
<Vyvy> <Vyvy> Hold on a moment, ill?
<Vyvy> Aska...
* Vyvy takes one of Selena's hands.
<Luci> * Alita frowns a bit. "...Well I was going to suggest we ask her directly."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns to Aska*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon frowns at that news, pondering to himself.
<Vyvy> I was going to say that perhaps Selena and I should see Lady Aska first, but she saved us the trip...
<Sara> * Ellie peers around quietly, feeling out of place in a place like this
<DeathStar> 6* Aska stands there, the beautiful woman made of pure light reaching out. She touches them all with her light, except Shade lest she damage her
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Lady Aska, I did not expect to see you meet us on our arrival."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks at the light, peering towards Aska in awe.
<DeathStar> 6* Ellie would feel the spirit realm being vast, and powerful. If a summoner were to summon in here, they would find their mana endless
<Luci> * Alita shivers just a bit. "Aska... what is wrong here?"
<Vyvy> It feels like the Summoni right now. I wouldn't be surprised if Teacher Kalam showed up, too.
<DeathStar> <Aska> I sensed you, my liege. Come, I will take you all up top. *They find themselves at the top where the royality and noblity reside. Simon would see out the window a view of the city and sometimes the spirit realm. Only the finest for the rooms up here, silk and other material. The maids and butlers gape as they arrive
<Luci> Talia> "Mewwww! That always feel strange!"
<DeathStar> 6* Shade arrives a moment later, taking herself up. Shion sets Miyuki down so she can morph herself to adult form when she is ready
<Vyvy> We apologise for the sudden arrival, though it seems even Lady Aska finds it imperative, you see.
<Xanatos> <Simon> All these years...never imagined seeing the city from this view.
<Sara> * Ellie looks disoriented for a moment
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps forward* "Now what is this about my aunt?"
<DeathStar> <Aska> *she eyes the servants* Leave us. Now
<DeathStar> 6* The servants fleet, leaving the throne room empty
<Sara> * Ellie whispers to Sylph about how she feels out of place in places like castles
<DeathStar> <Shion> Wow. *she eyes Miyuki*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I know what you mean. Give me forests!
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph flies over to sit on the throne
<DeathStar> <Aska> I do not know if it is because I am no longer her summon and her age is now catching up to her, or if it is foul play, Sasha. But the queen is dying.
<DeathStar> <Aska> It came on rapidly about a week.
<DeathStar> *ago
<Luci> ALita> "A week ago..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...I do not believe this to be a coincidence. Celes has gone missing."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon snaps his gaze from the city back to the interior of the room.
<DeathStar> <Aska> I see.... Malfoy has taken over as the right hand of the queen and been making preparations. Now that you are here, he will no doubt wish to make either you, or Selena the new queen. Zhuian does not have long left
<Xanatos> <Simon> Dying...how?
<Luci> Alita> "Perhaps we could help her somehow?"
<DeathStar> <Aska> It is as if her body is breaking down. Even my healing is only slowing it down
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...that sounds familiar..."
<Sara> * Ellie mouths the word Malfoy, feeling like it sounds like an evil person's name
<DeathStar> <Rain> Do you mind if we look around the castle? Ellie and Sylph say they feel things from the spirit dimension?
<DeathStar> <Aska> From the spirit dimension?
<Sara> * Ellie gives a nod
<Xanatos> <Simon> Could be the same thing we dealt with with the Legion? 6* He glances to Sasha.
<Xanatos> (second with = at)
<Luci> * Alita frowns more in thought.
<DeathStar> <Aska> I have not had much time to move into the spirit realm since dealing with the queen. But if you wish you investigate, I can lead you. The castle's history with it is interesting
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Exactly what I was thinking."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "It could be our mysterious conspirators are making another move..."
<DeathStar> <Aska> *she peers at the two, confused. Selena takes on Aska* Please, take us?
<DeathStar> <Rain> I guess we should split up. Some of us go see Malfoy and the queen
<DeathStar> <Rain> The rest look into the spirit realm thing
<Sara> <Ellie> The castle's history... huh.
<Vyvy> As I said, I'll protect Selena." She notes to Sasha.
<Luci> Alita> "It may be best if I see Malfoy and the Queen. I can perhaps help while Aska is busy."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks conflicted, wanting to go with both teams.
<Vyvy> I believe you have a history with Malfoy." She refers to the attendants she got from him.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I should go to my aunt's side. I am the eldest."
<DeathStar> <Shion> You got Kito from him, yes?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yes."
<Vyvy> And her... sister.
* Vyvy rubs her head a little, remembering the sacrifice.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I will...go with the those going to the queen.
<Vyvy> Watch after Sasha carefully, then." She smiles at Simon.
<Sara> <Ellie> I'm sure Sylphie wants to see what's going on here with the spirit realm, so I'll be with her in that.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and winks.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The rest of you, be careful in the spirit realm."
* Vyvy bows to Ellie. "Of course, having a second summoner will be invaluable if we meet trouble there."
<DeathStar> #Duality151-SpiritRealm
<Vyvy> We'll both be empowered. But don't let it get to your head.
<Vyvy> It may make... Lady Sylph giddy.
<Vyvy> More than usual.
<Sara> <Ellie> I don't care about stuff like power. *she notes delicately*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *hugs on Ellie*
<DeathStar> 6* Rain heads upstairs, with Shion putting a nice leash on Miyuki and walking her that way
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph then heads after Aska as she heads toward #Duality-SpiritRealm
<DeathStar> <Aska> Come, young Ellie. I will explain it to you on the way
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves after Rain and Shion.
<Luci> * Alita moves along for Malfoy and the Queen.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *heads up to her aunt's bedside*
<DeathStar> 6* A guard stands outside the bedroom. Rain gives him a glare
<DeathStar> <Guard> No one's allowed in without Malfoy's permission
<DeathStar> 6* Shion puts Miyuki on her shoulder
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances from Sasha to the guard.
<Luci> Alita> "Then ask him."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps forward* "Do you say that to the crown princess?"
<DeathStar> <Guard> s-Sorry
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Where is Malfoy now? Is he within?"
<DeathStar> <Guard> No ma'am. He is coming to meet you now
<DeathStar> 6* The guard opens the door
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nods and then looks inside*
<Luci> *Alita moves inside and peers around the room as she moves towards the bedside*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods to the guard and utters 'Thank you' as he passes by.
<DeathStar> 6* The once powerful queen now looks like a shell of her former self, withered and old looking. She lays on her bed with attendants around her, trying to get her to eat
<DeathStar> 6* Shion puts Miyuki on the bed with the woman to cheer her up
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...aunt..."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows in front of the queen, keeping his eyes on the ground.
<DeathStar> <Queen> Sasha....so you've come. I imagine Malfoy will try to thrust....the crown onto your head. Despite your work.
<Luci> * Alita frowns and looks over over with magical sight, trying to see if anything like a spell or a curse has been placed on her, and if not she tries to figure out the sickness.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki-Fox puffs her tails and trots over to the queen and kneads on her
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...if it needs to be so... but tell me... what has brought you to this state?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon slowly raises upright, to peer towards the queen.
<DeathStar> <Queen> *peers at the fox*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ah, your majesty... this is headmistress Miyuki."
<DeathStar> 6* The queen stiffens
<DeathStar> <Queen> ....
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Is soemthing wrong?"
<Luci> * Alita keeps up her evaluation with magical senses.
<DeathStar> 6* The queen reaches over to smack Miyuki off with her withered old hand. Alita would not sense anything magical or anything ordinary.
<Luci> Alita> "Odd, no magical residue nor anything among the ordinary ailments..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a brow*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Oh no...
<DeathStar> <Queen> I do not know. I suddenly began to feel sickly after I was dining a week ago. I believe it was one of my favorite dishes
<Xanatos> 6* Simon arches a brow, but remains quiet for now,
<Luci> * Alita stares.
<Chaintan> 6*Theres a white blur and a billowing of bed sheets before a full sized Miyuki lays in place of the queen, her body gone.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> Miserable old bat...
<Luci> Alita> "And you did not once consider poison?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...what?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Malfoy walks in and stares in horror at Miyuki w
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> What have you done to the queen?!
<DeathStar> <Shion> Oh no no no
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki rubs her belly and yawns
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Headmistress Miyuki, where is my aunt?!"
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> .... *he runs over to peer under the bed, while the attendants scream*
<DeathStar> <Attendants> Daemon!!
<DeathStar> 6* They run out
<Vyvy> * Kasha rises out of Shion's clothes. "..."
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> I'll give you two guesses
<Vyvy> <Kasha> This seems like something I'd be blamed for normally.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pulls a hand up to rub the bridge of his nose.
<Luci> * Alita sighs. "Headmistress... I can't treat her like this."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...with all due respect... this is a serious matter..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> This...is spiralling out of control.
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> ... ... *he points at Miyuki, then runs out for guards, stumbling and gawking*
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> with all due respect, you wouldnt have been able to save her anyway
<Luci> * Alita frowns. "And I'm slightly annoyed by the servants racism."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...did you actually eat my aunt?!"
<Luci> Alita> "But... I haven't started testing for poisons."
<Luci> Alita> "I mean unless she had consumed a corrupted reality shard..."
<Vyvy> * Kasha in fox form leans her head backwards up at Shion
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki turns away and coughs into her hand before looking into her hand, broken corrupted crystal shards in her hand
<Xanatos> <Simon> This is...this is punishable by death, you've killed us all.
<Luci> ALita> "...Wow I'm good."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Oh no no no no no
<Vyvy> <Kasha> ... can I strangle her now?
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> correction, I may have killed YOU all
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> I'll be just fine
<Luci> Alita> "Hrm... someone poisoned her food with a corrupt reality shard."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Teach her to play dead for me.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *stares at Miyuki flatly*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Tell them we killed her
<Vyvy> <Kasha> Oneechan, hand over her wisp, right now.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Is this...normal behavior for her? Is she evil now?
<Vyvy> * Kasha hops out of Shion, poomfing into her humanoid form in tattered clothing.
<Luci> Alita> "She technically saved us all. Actually."
<Luci> Alita> "There's no telling what the shard would do after it finished consuming the Queen."
<DeathStar> <Shion> True. I just wonder who gave her that favorite meal
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki harumps and shapeshifts into the Queen, crossing old knarled arms
<Luci> Alita> "We should find out."
<Chaintan> <Miyuki-Queen> Have absolutelty no faith in me
<Xanatos> 6* Simon groans and rubs his face.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...investigate the matter. We need to get this under control."
<Chaintan> <Miyuki-Queen> I should have you all beheaded
<Vyvy> Her wisp." She holds out her hand to Miyuki. "She wasn't dead when you ate her."
<Vyvy> * Kasha deadpans.
<Luci> Alita> *nods* "We'll need to find out who made it and who served it."
<DeathStar> 6* Malfoy enters with the guards
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> Kill them all. The Crown Princess killed the queen!!
<DeathStar> 6* Shion grabs Kasha and poofs her into a fox as they enter
<Luci> Alita> "Ah Malfoy. We have questions. Rather the Queen does."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...have you gone mad, Malfoy? Assumign that is who you truly are?"
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> She's...alive?
<Luci> * Alita crosses her arms.
<Chaintan> 6*M-Queen pets the fox on her lap
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> But you brought in that headmistress...
<Xanatos> <Simon> Blaming the Crown Princess? Curious.
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> I saw it...the attendants saw it...
<Luci> Alita> "And you just atttempted to accuse the wrong person."
<DeathStar> 6* He points at Sasha
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> SHE brought her in...I know it...
<Luci> Alita> "And?"
<Chaintan> <M-Queen> perhaps Malfoy is also coming down with whatever it is that has struck me..
<Chaintan> 6*She scatches behind Kasha's ears
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> ... *he looks broken and the guards look to Sasha for orders*
<Luci> Alita> "Quite possible. Malfoy, we will need to question the Queen's personal cooks and food servers. Can you assemble them please?"
<Vyvy> * Kasha's remaining quiet, not dumb enough to break the ruse, but looks severely angry.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Malfouy, you have my gratitiude for your service is this time of need. However it is clear that the pressure of your duties has begun to wear upon you."
<Chaintan> 6*M-Queen picks up Kasha and plays with her paws
<DeathStar> <Malfoy> Y-Yes... *the guards carry him out and move to get the food people*
<Chaintan> <M-Queen> it won't be long...I'll soon expire, and rot in the ground....worms making homes in my eyes
<Luci> Alita> *sighs a bit* Okay, so what we know is it was her favorite dish and it was a week ago."
<Vyvy> <Kasha> Give me her wisp before it deteriorates." She snaps at Miyuki
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...it is time to shake up the game board." *turns to MiyuQueen* "Would you be willing to name me princess-regent?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> So the queen is dead? Or did some hijinks just happen?
<Vyvy> <Kasha> A little bit of both. But I think I can restore the queen's 'remaining time' if I get her wisp and use the uncorrupted shard I'm harboring.
<Luci> Alita> "We need to find out the poisoner. Those crystals are rare to begin with. It's deep trouble that someone's poisoned her with one."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The actual state of my aunt is not to leave this room."
<Chaintan> <M-Queen> well technically m'dear, you have to be married into the family to be a princess-regent.
<Vyvy> <Kasha> It's served its purpose, and I would prefer to fix this state of affairs in which my usually righteous sister just scarred emotionally one of our chicks forevermore.
<Chaintan> <M-Queen> you however are blood
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...you are thinking princess-consort."
<Chaintan> 6*M-Queen looks at Alita
<Luci> Alita> "Yes my Lady?"
<Chaintan> <M-Queen> Personal chef, by the by
<Luci> Alita> "That's who prepared it?"
<Chaintan> 6*She nods
<Vyvy> * Kasha bristles a bit, probably close to getting physical as Shion would know at this point.
<Luci> Alita> "...We'll also need her taster, come to think on it."
<DeathStar> 6* Shion takes Kasha, petting and soothing her
<DeathStar> <Shion> It'll be okay
<Luci> Talia> "Can Talia be Princess-Regent?"
<Chaintan> <M-Queen> that 'wisp' isnt going anywhere 'fox'
<DeathStar> 6* The attendants return, eyeing the queen and giving weird smiles, havin been told they were imagining things
<Chaintan> 6*M-Queen waves pathetically
<Xanatos> 6* Simon stills seems somewhate distressed, moving over to stand by the door and out of the way.
<Luci> * Alita peers them over. "Who among you tastes the Queen's food?"
<Vyvy> <Kasha> ..." She glowers angrily, unable to believe Miyuki would eat family in front of Sasha, then carry on the masquerade when she could restore the queen without illness.
<Vyvy> <Kasha> This is not. Okay.
<Vyvy> * She hops down, moving for a window.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a hand* "I fear one of my companions has had a bad joke at everyone's expense. Please return to your duties."
<DeathStar> <Attendants> Usually it is Rebecca
<Luci> Alita> "Usually?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "You speka as if Rebecca were not here."
<Chaintan> <M-Queen> In any case, my dear, if you were to be regent I am afraid you would need to stay here.
<DeathStar> <Attendants> We have not seen her in a while. We were switching and taking turns as tasters
<Xanatos> <Simon> How long?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "True. Thta being said, poor Malfoy is clearly too exhausted to continue to carry out his duties."
<DeathStar> 6* The door busts open
<Xanatos> 6* Simon speaks up, then jerks at the door bursting open.
<DeathStar> 6* Aska walks in with Ellie, Sylph, Selena, and Aska, carrying two more people
<Luci> Alita> "Would you say she stopped being seen about a week ago?" *she looks bothered, but unphased at doors busting open*
<DeathStar> 6* Celes and Liana are in their arms
<DeathStar> <Attendant> Probably.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Celes!" *runs forward*
<DeathStar> <Attendant> Around that time the main chef also quit too. It was chaos
<DeathStar> 6* Celes stirs, holding Liana's hand
<Luci> * Alita frowns. "Her personal chef?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Sasha...?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Where have you been?! What do you remember?!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... Some place with...lots of spirits... I felt like I was being absorbed... I felt like I was tossed in there
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Do you recall who?"
<DeathStar> <Aska> She was trapped in the spirit realm. Someone trapped them in there to be absorbed into the mana there and erased
<DeathStar> 6* Selena holds onto Liana until she wakes
<Luci> * Alita peers over at Aska. "The QUeen was poisoned. WIth a corrupted Reality Crystal."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks to the servants* "Leave us."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon peers out from behind the door and moves over to talk to the attendants while Sasha has her reunion with family. He tries to find out who replaced the main chef, if any of the food testers got sick, and generally tries to tighten up the time line between the queen getting sick and the chef quitting/tester vanishing.
<DeathStar> <Celes> A bunch of ... nobles I think. People I grew up with. I think I heard them mutter about the future...wanted change. A new leader. Wanted ...someone they could manipulate
<DeathStar> 6* The servants run out
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...so its treason then..."
<Luci> Alita> "That's why you couldn't restore her."
<DeathStar> 6* Rain returns with a notebook
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Rain, have you learned anything?"
<DeathStar> <Rain> I looked into a few things. It turns out the chef was paid a large sum of gold. He ran off but I think I can track him through his family records the castle kept. The Rebecca girl was killed so they could put their own taster in
<DeathStar> <Rain> Give me a day and I'll have all the noble families names.
<Luci> * Alita sighs and sits back. "She's been dead for a week without knowing it."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves to get a better idea of the timeline from the servants as best he can before coming back.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "You have that day and every resource that you need."
<Luci> Alita> "A single shard we could have removed with surgery but a powder of shards?" *she looks frustrated*
<DeathStar> <Rain> They likely didn't know Selena had aged to 5 years old and kept her future memories. They thought she was a toddler still. Put her in as queen and Malfoy would guide her with the nobles pulling Malfoy without him knowing it. Kill Malfoy one day when she had been trained after noble society
<DeathStar> <Rain> *She turns to Queen Miyuki*
<DeathStar> <Rain> I suggest you make Celes queen and have Liana remain on the team. She can teleport to and fro from the castle. Then have the queen die.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Then one day Celes can turn the leadership role over to Sasha when she wants it
<DeathStar> <Shion> And since Celes is loyal to us and her wife, she will help us unite Geyze
<Luci> * Alita nods, frowning. "We need to get a hold on these crystals bein spread about somehow."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The I name Celes regent in my stead."
<DeathStar> <Rain> That's a problem. With the C'en gone, people who have future memories know their value
<DeathStar> <Rain> And can buy them up
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Where is the source?"
<Luci> Alita> "Then we need to buy them up first."
<Vyvy> <Kasha> You're okay with this?" She chimes from the window, sitting in it in humanoid for again.
<Vyvy> * Kasha eyes Sasha.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Well, either left on our two planets from C'en plots, for one, or from others who had them for the C'en
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ok with what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Celes sits dazed, holding Liana's hand, quiet
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... I wonder how Liana will take it. Me queen. Heh.
<Luci> Talia> "Liana now Chief Consort?"
<Sara> <Ellie> Consort? Like a concubine?
<Luci> * Talia paws.
<DeathStar> <Celes> S-She is my wife!!
<DeathStar> <Celes> She is not some consort!
<Vyvy> * Kasha makes a face at Sasha asking what about, slamming her fist into the stone of the window sill and cracking it, then clicks her tongue and drops out of the window out of sight.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion muses
<DeathStar> <Shion> Time to make blackberry muffins
<Luci> Talia> "We know! Dat why I say Chief Consorts!"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "When Rain has the names of the conspirators, then they shall be dealt with."
<DeathStar> <Shion> *Turns to queen Miyuki* So---*eyes her dead with flies* Righto--
<Luci> * Alita sighs. "I've been letting her read too much."
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I don't like much of anything that has gone here to day.
<DeathStar> 6* Aska pats Simon
<DeathStar> <Aska> Then you should let me tell you about the path of Light
<DeathStar> <Aska> *she leads Simon out*
<DeathStar> -END-
<Vyvy> Aska--

Session Start: Sun Apr 30 19:58:43 2017
Session Ident: #Duality151-SpiritRealm
* Now talking in #Duality151-SpiritRealm
* nova.esper.net sets mode: +nt
* Vyvy has joined #Duality151-SpiritRealm
<Vyvy> doo doo doo
<DeathStar> (....)
<DeathStar> (I'll wait one more minute)
<Vyvy> (.-.)
* Sara has joined #Duality151-SpiritRealm
<DeathStar> <Aska> The castle was built by those who first had my contract and had me build this place in the spirit realm long ago
<DeathStar> 6* Selena trots after them, while Sylph flies about like a bird
<DeathStar> <Aska> They wanted to have my power be enhanced to serve the realm at all times
<Sara> * Ellie watches Sylph while peering around
<Vyvy> So essentially this place is anchored in both realms. It's a material-etherial bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Aska opens the door where the spirit realm is most connected
<DeathStar> <Aska> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph flies in
<DeathStar> 6* Selena heads on in, and peers around
<Sara> <Ellie> Spirit power is common but... to use the spirit realm this way... *she looks a bit conflicted, wondering if it's exploitation of sorts*
<Vyvy> It was made in accordance with Aska, so it must have had some agreement
<DeathStar> 6* As they enter, they would feel something wrong further in
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I--- *she peers further north
<Vyvy> The leylines are... distorted..?
<Sara> * Ellie frowns in response to the feeling.
* Vyvy frowns, then picks up Selena
<Sara> <Ellie> What does that even mean?
<Vyvy> We need to see for ourselves, come
<Sara> * Ellie nods, walking along that way
<DeathStar> 6* Selena pouts
<DeathStar> 6* They soon reach a black aura filled area that looks like a spirit. Full of corrupted spirits. Aska eyes it
<DeathStar> <Aska> Hm. They seem to have something in them to make the prison.
<Sara> <Ellie> A prison... but for what? Spirits?
<Vyvy> Is this the Death spirit?
<DeathStar> <Aska> No. He is dead. <Sylph> This looks like they have those corrupted shards. Four of them making a square
<Sara> <Ellie> So a corrupted crystal block, almost
* Vyvy makes a face, completely at a loss
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Yeah. We need to cure them..
<DeathStar> *Aska blasts the spirits with light*
<DeathStar> 6* The four spirits fall down with new pure crystals
<DeathStar> <Aska> There
<DeathStar> 6* As the darkness vanishes, they would feel the spirit realm become less heavy. And inside it are Celes and Liana, unconscious
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... Momma!
<DeathStar> 6* Selena leaps on them
* Vyvy breathes a sigh of relief. "... Thank you, Lady Aska."
<DeathStar> <Aska> There. *She hands Ellie and Vyvy four reality shards, purified*
<Sara> * Ellie accepts them. "So, wait. Someone is imprisoning people in the spirit realm and causing them to be forgotten? Lady Aska, who could have that kind of power?
* Vyvy muses, not sure if that's quite it
<DeathStar> <Aska> I am not sure. The spirit realm is a vast place. Normal humans can come in here and be lost, Ellie
<DeathStar> <Aska> The problem is if a human stays in here too long, they will become part of this place
<Vyvy> Dissolve back into the leyline.
<Vyvy> Humans aren't meant to be soothed by so much mana.
<DeathStar> <Aska> So I am assuming that is why they were trapped here with these "crystals". Let us get them out here to recover
<DeathStar> -Shifting us to the regular room
