<DeathStar> 6.26.5991
<DeathStar> Location: The Club
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar holds a little toy for Bella next time she goes through the gate, while watching the HoloNet news
<Luci> * Luci muses, planning to see if they can bring a care package of treats for the kids next time.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan watches the news as well, idling sipping from a glass of whisky
<DeathStar> 6* Their bartender makes tons of drinks for everyone, tossing them out left and right. Ymir works on her datapad, working on making her company's stocks go up, drinking her whiskey
<Vyvy> * Ylva whacks Ymir
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Mrowl! *she winces
<Luci> * Luci keeps to virgin drinks, still preggers.
<Vyvy> <Ylva> When did you start drinking liquor?
<DeathStar> 6* Riki tries to work again, despite being major pregnant. She uses her tail to help wipe tables, avoiding Jan and Wolfe
<DeathStar> <Ymir> W-When I became a CEO?
<DeathStar> <Ymir> All the other cool CEOs do it
<Luci> * Luci sighs and moves over to intervene, come sit.
<DeathStar> <Riki> But I wanna work. *She pouts*
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Hrmph. Guess I'm not cool.
<Luci> Luci> *raises a brow at Riki getting swollen up so quick*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Here. *She offers a drink of whiskey*
<Luci> Luci> "You need to rest for little Ruhi."
<DeathStar> <Ymir> You can be cool too
<Xanatos> <Logan> Planning to go again so quickly? 6* He says to Asarar, glancing from the holovid to her
<DeathStar> <Riki> You're not my Wolfe. You can't make it. *She acts stubborn
<Jackieness> <Kira> *leans against the bar in her slinky gown, though more distracted than as usual*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not right now. 6* Cypher tinkers, knowing that Chelsea will be called to outfit the Aquarius soon
<Luci> Luci> "Riki... we're friends. Y-You know I care right?" *she starts to sniff, using her sad little girl routine*
<DeathStar> 6* Riki jerks, dumb enough to fall for it.
<Luci> Luci> "We're Preggers-Friends. Right? I need you to watch out for me too."
<Sara> * Chelsea comes out to the bar and orders a drink that somehow has fish in it
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe picks up Riki
<DeathStar> <Riki> O-Okay. PFs forever! Eeep! Wolfey!
<Luci> * Luci thumbs up.
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> what a naughty pup you are, you said you were gonna rest and take it easy
<DeathStar> 6* Barry slides her the fish cup
<Luci> Luci> "Riki can help me plan treats for our older kids."
<DeathStar> <Riki> Oh noes. Wolfe found out. *her ears droop.* But Riki not know how to entertain herself without work.
<Luci> Luci> "You're on snack duty."
<Chaintan> <Wolfe>hmmmm what if you write letters for little Ruhi
<DeathStar> <Holonet> Breaking news!!
<Luci> Luci> "...Of which we'll be stealing lots for ourselves."
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> so when she's old enough she can read them
<DeathStar> <Riki> Write? Hm. I can draw letters!
<DeathStar> *Riki beams*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Here it comes. 6* Referring to the news.
<DeathStar> <Reporter> We have breaking news. The President today announced that she was planning to step down next month and open up elections for the first time ever memory
<Vyvy> * Ylva takes both the one she offers and Ymir's own, downing them both, then eyes Ymir.
<Luci> Luci> "So who's running?"
<DeathStar> <Reporter> A lot of people are speculating what this can mean. And what the remaining corporations will likely do.
<DeathStar> <Reporter> There are speculations that the CEOs will likely try to become President but can a CEO be President? We will find out when Tora announces more later this month
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Gasp. H-How did you?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What is Tora thinking? First she gives up her power, now this?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Barry, mix me up something strong."
<DeathStar> <Barry> Coming right up
<Luci> Luci> "Well... someone's got to be in charge right?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> It's going to be choas. Could turn into a lucrative, yet dangerous time for us.
<Luci> Luci> "She probably figures someone elected by the people would be someone who could actually command the public to fight the C'en."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Well I imagine our job will be getting busier, but I am curious if Tora will have any last minute jobs for us
<DeathStar> <Ymir> If not, we will keep hiring you for our Corporation
<DeathStar> <Ymir> *she beams*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Aquarius Dry Dock
<DeathStar> 6* Despite the fact the Aquarius was supposed to begun it's "future upgrades learned from the C'en future timeline", no work has begun. Captain Yuki has not gotten off her butt to authorize anything, simply sitting in her Captain's chair and brooding, eyeing mission logs or moving about the ship like she's a dead woman walking
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki frowns, touching things and mumbling as if something is missing
<Luci> * Cookie gently pokes her.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yes, Cookie?
<Luci> Cookie> "Gettigng worried about you. I ca feel your obsession from the other side of the ship."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It just feels like someone important to me is not here. *she touches the Captain's seat* I keep going over the mission logs. They state that day we crossed over to this reality that the previous captain was amongst those the Aquarius lost and I took over and led us on all our missions
<DeathStar> <Yuki> But I just feel so lost
<Luci> Cookie> "How about this. I'll scan you at night, I can even dream walk and try to find any scattered memories. Meanwhile you focus on what we need to do here to center yourself?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We still require your authorization to begin the Aquarius' latest refit."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yes. Of course, Airym. *She peers up as she sees Cypher and Chelsea outside
<Luci> Cookie> "I don't deny there's something missing. I can feel the gaps in your thoughts."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I guess I can't put it off for ever. 6* Yuki opens the side of the ship to let the two in
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Thanks for the thought, Cookie
<Luci> * Cookie nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher walks in, letting anyone else from the Club crew in with her to see the Aquarius. Riki trots along, working on her first "letter"
<Xanatos> 6* Logan moves along, jumping to go on any mission or errand.
<Luci> * Luci walks with, peering about.
<DeathStar> 6* Riki draws her and Wolfe holding hands, along with Ruhi and another small child, naming it "Siblings"
<DeathStar> <Riki> This is fun!
<Sara> * Chelsea gives a small nod to anyone who looks at her as she boards
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe smiles and rubs Riki's head
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> Gonna include a new word for her in each letter?
<Luci> * Luci slips Riki a picture from her Max and Wolfe comics.
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille meanwhile has the other spirits gathered in a lower deck, not knowing Chelsea has come onboard to work. She holds the blue gem she formed in Session 50 of TAW. The images of Erica and someone else faintly gleaming in them
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> you stop that Luci
<DeathStar> <Riki> W-What is this? Dirtyu!
<DeathStar> 6* Riki looks flustered
<Luci> Luci> "Educational! So Ruhi understands her Daddy's love for her Uncle Max."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *She turns to face the Club crew* Welcome. It's been a while
<DeathStar> <Riki> Luci dirty!
<Luci> * Luci gives her most innocent look.
<Luci> * Cookie waves.
<DeathStar> *Riki paws at her face
<DeathStar> "Slapping"
<Vyvy> * Saoirse sits down with the spirits, watching over them, affected by Yuki's mood.
<Luci> Luci> *pouts and sniffles*
<Sara> <Chelsea> It has.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan peers around the aquarious.
<DeathStar> <Cyphyr> Did you hear Tora's announcement, Yuki? <Yuki> Announcement? <Cypher> Did you ..have you taken a bath lately?
<DeathStar> *Cypher sniffs her*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> .... Dunno
<Xanatos> <Logan> You seem very depressed.
<Luci> COokie> "She's umm... been working overtime is all."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Is there anything we can do to assist?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Just a few things on my mind
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks
<Luci> Cookie> "Tora stepped down today, Yu Yu."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We require a ship's counselor."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Chelsea, you can begin where-ever you like. I think Tora brought the next-gen C'en requipment in the lower levels
<DeathStar> <Yuki> She said when you're done you can keep what's left over for your ship
<Sara> <Chelsea> Yes, ma'am. *she walks off, heading to engineering to start*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Okay everyone. What we're going to do will require a lot of spiritual energy. It may burn a few of us out. But who we are bringing back is like a mother to some of us
<DeathStar> <Mireille> If you share a mind link with me, you will see who I am talking about. *the other spirits nod*
<Luci> Cookie> "Mmm? What?"
<Xanatos> (She's in a lower deck)
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I will be the focal point and share the energy. *the other spirits don't notice Chelsea entering engineering*
<Luci> (scratch that)
<Sara> * Chelsea tilts her head, wondering what they're doing
<DeathStar> 6* They spirits begin to pour major spiritual power, making engineer light up, with Mireille taking the focus. The entire ship seems to glow
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Anyway. Do you think we should confront Tora?
<Jackieness> <Airym> *sees soemthing on scans* "I need to check on something." *heads to a lift to engineering*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Probably best. *She peers at Logan* Or profit from it
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Sure. *She says listlessly to Airym*
<Xanatos> <Logan> It's tempting.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan pulls out a flask and offers it to Yuki.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Why not one of you run for President. Then you can make more money
<DeathStar> *She takes it, then drains it all, handing it back*
<Luci> Luci> "President Luci has a nice ring to it."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I... *she eyes Luci*
<DeathStar> <Riki> Wolfey...
<Xanatos> <Logan> I don't have the face for it. 6* He blinks at that and holds it upside down, shaking a few times.
<Luci> * Luci grins a little.
<DeathStar> <Riki> Can I be Presidente>?
<DeathStar> 6* Riki wags
<Chaintan> <Wolfe>...if you want?
<DeathStar> <Riki> What does a President do?
<Jackieness> <Airym> *steps off the lift into engineering*
<DeathStar> *Confusing Sen and Tora, she images a maid*
<DeathStar> 6* Airym would see the entire engineering area glowing. The fire spirit collapses, then the water, then the wind spirit*
<Luci> Luci> "Has to lead the whole planet, a lot of work."
<DeathStar> 6* Next is Yolunde*
<DeathStar> <Riki> Oh. I thought it was the maid
<DeathStar> *Riki slumps*
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> usually, make people angry and happy at the same time
<DeathStar> <Riki> Oh. I can do the latter!
<DeathStar> <Riki> People get angry and happy at Riki at the club all the time
<Jackieness> <Airym> "...what is happening here? My sensors detect large amounts of spirit energy."
<DeathStar> <Riki> This order isn't perfect you stupid dog bitch!! Oh, you are a nice dog fauna. Can I touch your breasts?
<DeathStar> *Riki nods sagely*
<Chaintan> <Wolfe>...
<Xanatos> <Logan> I wonder if Asarar would consider running?
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> hon when people say that tell me
<DeathStar> 6* As Airym comes closer, she would see Mireille is glowing like a god, the blue gems crackling
<Jackieness> <Airym> *scans to gather data*
<Vyvy> <Saoirse> ... Um..
<DeathStar> 6* Chelsea would find engineering acting whacky and messing with her work
<DeathStar> <Riki> Okay. But I might have to stop my work at least a few times a night then!
<DeathStar> *Riki wags, a happy oblivious dog fauna*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Mireille?"
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> no no I mean...
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe is flustered
<Luci> Luci> "You'd have to stop it every night... and possibly get someone else to raise Ruhi for you."
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> you stop that Luci
<Luci> Luci> "I'm telling her what it fully means. Since I know she won't want that."
<Luci> * Luci puts her hands on her hips.
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille opens her eyes, glowing, when there's a loud boom below. Asarar goes to answer Logan when it happens, and Cypher jerks
<DeathStar> 6* Chelsea would be knocked on her butt
<Luci> * Cookie rubs her head at the mix of emotions all around, then blinks and looks downwards. "Wha...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Airym would also be thrown back
<Sara> <Chelsea> Ack!
<DeathStar> 6* When Saoirse can see again, Mireille is gone, the other spirits are unconscious but laying there is a nude Erica, holding a baby, like her's and Yuki's
<Jackieness> <Airym> *flies into a bulkhead*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan blinks and reaches out to catch himself quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* The baby having cute little ears
<Xanatos> <Logan> What the hell was that?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> It was below. Chelsea!!
<DeathStar> 6* She rushes down
<Xanatos> 6* Logan moves after her
<Luci> COokie> "Chelsea getting really into her engineering? SOmething seems... different."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hurries, while Riki draws an explosion and "danger"
<DeathStar> <Riki> I am a good momma
<Jackieness> <Airym> "...impact damage to chassis..." *comm* "Captain is on engineeering deck."
<Luci> Luci> "Exactly."
<Luci> Luci> "Riki you should just focus on being the best Momma ever."
<Sara> * Chelsea shakes her head, wondering what the hell just happened
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Captain is on engineering...?
<Luci> * COokie looks at Yuki, then down at the floor, then up at Yuki.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki hurries down, arriving with the others. They would find a woman with a baby there. the moment seeing her memories of Erica returns
<Luci> Cookie> *follows Yuki*
<DeathStar> 6* And her sacrifice to stop the C'en
<DeathStar> <Yuki> .... Eriiii! *she leaps and tackle hugs*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan blinks and widens his eyes.
<Luci> Cookie> "She's... Erica? Oh!"
<Luci> * Cookie smiles since Yuki is happy again.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *Cypher picks up Chelsea* Are you okay? I'll take you right home this moment
<Sara> * Erica stirs
<DeathStar> 6* Riki peeks downstairs
<Jackieness> <Airym> *stands up* "I have an owwie."
<Sara> <Chelsea> I'm okay, just a little jostled...
<DeathStar> <Riki> *she draws a picture of all the women laying around, Erica naked, and the baby* Orgy
<DeathStar> <Riki> I am on a roll.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Well that was jarring. Like suddenly a switch was turned and memories of Erica just appeared.
<Vyvy> * Saoirse blinks, poking the collapsed spirits.
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> no no
<DeathStar> <Riki> Luci taught me that one
<Luci> * COokie looks at the baby, tilting her head, then walks over to the three, she takes a subtle scan of the kid to make sure it's well and figure out if it's fully a Yuki-Erica-baby.
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> absolutely not
<DeathStar> <Riki> Okies!
<DeathStar> *She tosses it out
<Luci> Luci> "Hey I merely explained what it was."
<DeathStar> *The baby somehow is a Yuki-Erica-Saorise baby. Figure that out
<Sara> <Erica> Yu...? Saoir?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You're back. You're alive. *She sobs into her chest*
<Luci> * Cookie eyes the scan and goes cross eyed.
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...hm I wonder if this is why Yuki was so depressed?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Probabl.
<Sara> <Erica> Yu... *she wraps her arms around her*
<Luci> * Cookie raises a finger to ask, then closes her mouth, looks at the scan, raises the finger to ask again, then looks back down.
<DeathStar> *Cypher sits Chelsea down away from the chaos*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *walks over, head tilted a little more than is normal* "I would hypothesize thatthe infant is Mirielle."
<DeathStar> 6* The spirits stir and rise up. Mireille is the only one missing right now
<Sara> <Chelsea> Maybe we picked the wrong day to do this, huh. *she laughs dryly*
<Luci> Cookie> "It would explain how you get three different people's DNA markers into a baby without engineering."
<Luci> Cookie> "The baby has Yuki, Sao and Erica's DNA."
<DeathStar> <Cyphyr> It's always the wrong day on this ship. I say we steal the equipment and go work on your ship
<Luci> Cookie> "Which I now deem a Dragfoxweaponuman."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Agreed.
<DeathStar> 6* Riki doodles on her letters, making life lessons with letters
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki wags rapidly like a happy dog
<Sara> <Erica> Where's... Mireille?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I missed you so mu-- *the baby starts crying for food
<Sara> * Erica jerks
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I don't know. She was on the ship a momen aa--- Owwww.
<DeathStar> *she covers her ears*
<Luci> Cookie> "...Oh... none of you had the usual pregnancy now so... no milk."
<Luci> Cookie> "I can fix that though!"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> W-What kind of horror magic are you going to use on us?
<Vyvy> * Saoirse moves over and puts her palm on the kid, funneling spirit energy to it
<Luci> Cookie> "Dr. Carmichael trained me. I once came across a forula her wife uses on her."
<Luci> * Cookie nods and pulls out a datapad to start the sythesis.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *Takes the baby as Saoirse calms it a bit* I'll go feed it with Cookie's help. Let you get settled Erica
<Luci> * Cookie rises to lead Yuki to the medical lab.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I shall go and straighten my head."
<Sara> * Erica gives a small nod, trying to find something to cover herself
<Luci> COokie> <And I can totally make more if you wanna have them feed her too.>
<Vyvy> * Saoirse watches Yuki go. "Do anything weird to her I'll get you back, Cookie.
<DeathStar> 6* As Yuki goes, no one notices the invisible Mireille trying to hug Erica, unable to interact with anyone. She eyes herself, a true spirit of a spirit. She tries to leave the ship but seems stuck to it, a prisoner trapped on the Aquarius. Mireille eyes herself, wondering what she is now.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Vyvy> * Then she peers at Erica, frowning, looking upset.
<DeathStar> Location: Presidental Tower
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leads a group of whoever wants to follow, mixed of Aquarius/Club up to Tora's office
<Luci> * Luci trots along, considering what life as President could be like.
<DeathStar> 6* Sen greets them, bowing in her maid outfit. A crowd seems to be gathered outside as Sen walks with them
<Xanatos> 6* Logan marches along, of course.
<DeathStar> <Sen> Hello. <Asarar> So what is Tora doing?
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Hello again, Sen.
<DeathStar> <Sen> Ylva. A pleasure *she tosses her a cat snack*
<DeathStar> <Sen> Since Erica conviced her to release her reality power to everyone, Tora decided she should take it a step further
<Xanatos> 6* Logan gives Sen a wave.
<DeathStar> 6* Sen nods to Logan. Riki hops along excitedly
<Luci> Luci> "Yeah but what if another crazy corrupted CEO wins?"
<DeathStar> <Sen> She believes that she truly give power to the people to direct their destiny. And do not worry. If you are a CEO, which has voting power, you cannot be President. That will be a rule
<DeathStar> <Sen> Sorry, Ylva.
<Xanatos> <Logan> I can't help but feel like this is going to go south on everyone.
<Luci> Luci> "...Well then. Luci for President still sounds awesome."
<DeathStar> <Sen> However, the voting will be open to everyone else. It will be decided that every district can choose one representative from each sector, then each sector's representatives will go head to head in a final vote for everyone
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm. That might benefit the slums since we have so many people
<Luci> Luci> "Wouldn't direct voting benefit the slums more?"
<DeathStar> <Sen> The representative will be chosen by popular vote, do not worry. We will let everyone put their names in and people can vote.
<Vyvy> * Ylva deadpans. "You just assumed I wanted to become president?"
<DeathStar> <Sen> You were an example
<DeathStar> 6* They enter Tora's office, who turns to face them
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You realize hackers and others will try to manipulate the vote
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Besides, I could just absolve my position.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Of course
<Luci> Luci> "Everyone will try to munipulate the vote."
<DeathStar> <Tora> But we have you all to fight them
<Xanatos> <Logan> It's going to be hard to keep them at bay. But if this works...the slums could get some representation.
<DeathStar> 6* Riki runs over and slaps her name down
<Xanatos> 6* Logan pauses at that and frowns.
<DeathStar> <Riki> Riki's name is in
<Xanatos> <Logan> Just us?
<DeathStar> <Tora> I hope that Ylva and Ymir's company will help
<Luci> Luci> "Riki!"
<DeathStar> <Tora> And other allied companies
<DeathStar> <Tora> We will pay a hefty price, after all, Asra
<Xanatos> <Logan> What if we go evil and rig it in our favor?
<Vyvy> * Ylva moves to take a seat and crosses her legs musing.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... taking on all these other Runnnr groups will be costly
<Luci> Luci> "You heard what I said about the responsibility and stuff right?"
<DeathStar> <Tora> *She smiles* I believe in Asarar. But if you, then I guess we will be enemies in the end
<DeathStar> *you do
<Xanatos> 6* Logan smirks and nods.
<Vyvy> <Ylva> I think I might run after all.
<Xanatos> <Logan> I hope we don't let you down.
<Luci> Luci> "But aren't you a CEO?"
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Not if I transfer all authority to Ymir.
<DeathStar> <Tora> You plan to leave the company to Ymir? What about your girlfriend, the head of that one Company?
<DeathStar> 6* Riki sulks at Ylva, not liking the idea of running against her
<Luci> Luci> "I might be serious about running you know."
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Her affairs are her own, as they always have been. Are you saying that whomever runs must abandon their relationships as well? In that case, even Riki would be in quite a conundrum.
<DeathStar> 6* Riki sulks more, ears down
<Luci> Luci> "Just relationships which have huge political influence... like CEOs of companies, I imagine."
<DeathStar> <Riki> Riki will show no mercy. Will defeat
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Ymir is superior to me in every way, but that's also why she's perfect to run a company mostly dedicated to R&D at this point. I prefer the political and business aspects, which seem more useful to your position.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Fair enough
<DeathStar> 6* Riki bites at them both, trying to seem scary
<Vyvy> <Ylva> My life has taught me both the upper and low eschelon's of this moon. If that's not a qualification, and this job is not something that will allow me to use that to good ends... then I wouldn't want it anyway.
<Luci> * Luci tickles her.
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Then there's the matter of the election itself...
<DeathStar> 6* Sen serves tea to them all
<Vyvy> <Ylva> If I'm running, isn't it fair within my rights to use some of my own money to hire Asarar to publicize the statistics and their machination?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sips it, eyeing her team getting all politcal
<Luci> * Luci shakes her head and sits back.
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...well when you have more details it may help us shore up defenses more easily.
<Vyvy> <Ylva> It would be much harder for both myself and others to make dishonest changes and adjustments in that case.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not sure if I like so many on my team getting political. *She sighs* One bomb in my place of business and three candidates dead
<Vyvy> <Ylva> And also, in that scenario, the money isn't being funneled by the existing president to a Runner group to 'rig the election'
<Vyvy> * Ylva glances at Tora through her lashes.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Who said I wanted the election rigged. *She looks offended, angry*
<Vyvy> <Ylva> You don't.
<Luci> Luci> "You'll also be facing a planet of people that nearly saw corporations become their downfall. ANd you a former CEO stepping down specifically to get around a rule that was set in place to address that."
<Vyvy> <Ylva> but if you're the one funding a Runner to 'protect' it, it becomes easy to paint it that way.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *eyes Ylva* And I wonder how that information could get out
<Vyvy> <Ylva> We've already faced a number of clever saboteurs, have we not? Prepare for anything.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Some ally, making such vile accusations. 6* He shakes his head.
<Vyvy> <Ylva> I like the idea of someone clairvoyant and honest as Riki running the place I live in.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Well, as always, I'll pay after the election is over and I've seen that you stopped such intrustions. I plan to use my own network to help and others
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Of course
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Tora, have you given thought to Kumen's relationship with Geyze given the warning?
<DeathStar> <Tora> I'll be announcing the rules at the end of the month. *She turns to Ylva* I'll be working on that the next month. And using the ground work we made during the C'en crisis to try to cement a final alliance pact
<DeathStar> <Tora> Before I leave office
<Luci> * Luci grows quieter, just listening.
<Vyvy> <Ylva> That's reassuring.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Any plans for your life post-office?
<DeathStar> <Tora> Raise my child with Sen. And see if I haven't doomed this world.
<DeathStar> <Tora> But since I had a hand in making it, it's my responsibility to watch over it
<Vyvy> * Ylva blinks. "I think you give yourself too little credit."
<Xanatos> 6* Logan nods once, probably thinking he would do the same if in the position.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sets her cup down and moves to go and get ready for the next month's craziness
<Vyvy> <Ylva> Tora, are you against my taking such an opportunity?
<Luci> * Luci gives Ylva a quiet look again, before following Asarar.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Until next time. 6* He stands, and bows slightly, moving to leave. Waiting just outside for the others before moving off.
<DeathStar> <Tora> I wouldn't be stepping down as President if I didn't want people to live heir own lives, Ylva.
<DeathStar> <Tora> You should do what you feel is right for you and those around you. It is your world, too
<Vyvy> <Ylva> That's vague. My offer seemed to make everyone else, sour. I was asking your opinion
<Luci> * Luci indeed seems sour, stalking along after Asarar.
<Vyvy> * Ylva gestures with her palm. "I evolved, maybe too quickly, telling myself that I would do anything for Fauna and my sister. I never had any interest in the company, but it was something necessary to improve."
<DeathStar> *Riki busy makes plans against Luci and Ylva, not really sour
<Vyvy> <Ylva> So I'm asking you, Tora, not the intentions of the acting president.
<Luci> * Luci looks to Riki and gives a slight smile. "No need to worry about me. I'm going to make sure the right person wins."
<DeathStar> *Tora nods to her, putting an arm around Sen* I don't have an opinion to give you because I'm here to live your life. Maybe ask your sister and others close to you. I'm sorry that's not what you want to hear. But it sounds like if you don't have an interest in running a company, then why run for president?
<DeathStar> <Tora> It seems like more of the same only on a larger scale
<Vyvy> <Ylva> It is.
<Vyvy> <Ylva> And exactly why I would defer your judgment. Take it as respect for someone who likely did the same thing.
<Vyvy> <Ylva> You really, really, don't give yourself enough credit.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Welp, this is going to be one interesting-ass event. 6* He says to Luci and Asarar.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Maybe but it's something in the end you need to discover for yourself. I became President because I made Kumen and Geyze and I wanted to help guide my people. Look to yourself why you want to be President.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yes. Yes it is
