[21:47] Kuonji: (-_-)
[21:47] Alathon: But he manages to grab your ankle afterwards.
[21:47] Tsukasa: (... Ah, well. Could only happen once...)
[21:47] Alathon: Caoilinn is up
[21:47] Caoilinn: (Looks like Ol' Gaptooth isn't out of this fight yet.)
[21:47] Caoilinn: roll 1d20+3
[21:47] Ala-bot: Caoilinn rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{21}
[21:47] Kuonji: (if he has my ankle, can I cut off his fucking hand next round?)
[21:48] Alathon: Nobody is in a position to see it, but Caoilinn's limbs are able to move again.
[21:48] Alathon: You could certainly try, you're at a penalty attacking him but you can do it

[21:49] Alathon: Two bolts of lightning scream outta the trees to the east at Sheena.
[21:49] Alathon: -4
[21:49] Tsukasa: "Sheena-san, take care of that fool with the lightning, I'll deal with the ones down here!"
[21:49] Alathon: ouch, you can probably block the second one, but the first one ain't happening without a 20 ;p
[21:50] Gerand: "I'll catch any stragglers"
[21:50] Sheena: (fucking +12)
[21:50] Alathon: ((this is not an easy battle))
[21:50] Alathon: btw, at this point you can see where he is, after your Obsidian Buster blew away most of the trees in that direction
[21:50] Alathon: there's two other riders nearby to him
[21:51] Gerand: (so I can attack him too?)
[21:51] Alathon: Only Sheena can really see this, since she's flying and looking down))
[21:51] Alathon: anyways, how does Sheena respond
[21:51] Sheena: Roll 1d20+9 powered defence

[21:52] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4d8 --> [ 4d8=16 ]{16}
[21:52] Gerand: (through?)
[21:52] Alathon: CT armor is ineffective against this damage type.
[21:52] Sheena: (magic isnt tho)
[21:52] Alathon: Yeah, but it doesn't leave a hole ;p
[21:52] Alathon: yup, only 8 pts damage from that :(
[21:53] Sheena: (dont cry, Im sure he'll hurt me more later)
[21:53] Alathon: Tsukasa is up
[21:53] Alathon: ((let's try to speed things up just a little, it's starting to get late))

[21:55] Alathon: Er, +29 actually
[21:56] Alathon: ((no dodging crits))
[21:56] Tsukasa: (+1 burn on the first, really - there was still the -4 for cover, right?)

[21:57] Alathon: The first beam nicks his ear; the second one nicks his eyes (dead).
[21:57] Sheena: (god i love that gun)
[21:57] Alathon: (of course.. hasted, it's gonna run outta power real soon ;p ))
[21:57] Alathon: ((you can reload twice as fast though, so four power packs per round))
[21:57] Gerand: (damn, but as long as it kills everyone while it's at it right?))
[21:57] Alathon: Gerand is up
[21:58] Tsukasa: (How many ARE there up there, anyway?)
[21:58] Gerand: Is the guy I fried before still around?
[21:58] Alathon: You can see three pretty clearly on the north side of the camp.. you know there's some on the east side, but not how many.. and there's some on the northeast side fighting Kuonji.
[21:58] Alathon: No, Tsukasa just killed him
[21:59] Gerand: I can see the one's fighting Kounji? can I get a lightning bolt off at em?
[21:59] Alathon: No
[21:59] Alathon: You know there's a tussle going on in that directiont hough
[21:59] Caoilinn: (And that would almost certainly hit Kuonji, anyway.)
[21:59] Gerand: Right. who's teh next most unique looking guy?
[21:59] Caoilinn: (You. Fire away.)
[21:59] Alathon: the guy wearing the leather jacket
[21:59] Alathon: which is, all of them
[21:59] Alathon: they're not anime villains, they don't wear "Boss" uniforms ;p
[21:59] Gerand: Right! I'll Shoot him then!
[22:00] Gerand: In teh clearing, tehy anywhere near each other?
[22:01] Gerand: that is, how many can I get with Black tentacles?
[22:01] Alathon: nobody is in the camp as far as you can see, they're all in the trees to the north, east, or further to the northeast
[22:01] Alathon: you don't really know, but it seems like you could probably get three to the north
[22:01] Alathon: since you see three
[22:01] Caoilinn: (He's making a soliloquy--he must be a boss! Get him!)
[22:01] Gerand: Right. I'll cast Black tentacles at those three then.
[22:02] Sheena: (good thing im in the air)
[22:02] Alathon: Tenebrous shadows swirl up from the ground, grabbing at the Harleyriders.
[22:02] Caoilinn: ("Damn those perverted Japs!")

[22:03] Alathon: Two of them are grappled.
[22:03] * Tsukasa glances at him. "Did you just ask them to defeat your magic?"
[22:03] Gerand: (Do teh tentacles do damage thgis turn too?)
[22:03] Gerand: "Er... Feel... I meant Feel..."
[22:03] Sheena: (...if you just took away the bosses dex bonus >:)

[22:07] Tsukasa: (And... Your _precocious_ tentacles?)
[22:07] Gerand: (yes.)
[22:07] Tsukasa: (You mean they're underage tentacles?)

[22:08] Gerand: (Not under age, just curious)
[22:08] Alathon: Your Obsidian Buster washes over the lightning guy, hurting him -- badly.

[22:08] Alathon: Sanshi is up

[22:13] Alathon: Niether penetrate your armor, but stoneskin gets dropped by another 19 points
[22:13] Kuonji: (blarg)

[22:14] Tsukasa: (Sure there is. He just hates you)
[22:15] Gerand: (i still have two ranks of divine relationship to my name)
[22:15] Tsukasa: (Huh, I forgot to add the haste in to my to-hits)
[22:15] Sheena: (the rider is wondering why his geting poked in the face)
[22:15] Kuonji: (god damn, today has sucked)
[22:15] Alathon: Caoilinn is up
[22:15] Kuonji: (I worked 7 and a half hours even though I was only schedualed for 5... with only one 15 minute break >_<)
[22:16] Tsukasa: (Hey, not _everything_ can be an awe-inspiring critical kill from the shadows and returning to the shadows)
[22:16] Sheena: (welcom to life?)
[22:16] Gerand: (god is getting back at you for your successes two sessions back!)

[22:30] Alathon: Yes
[22:30] Alathon: as long as you do nothing but them
[22:30] * Sheena is slighty charded and does not like it.
[22:31] * Sheena holds dark heart out as a shield naps into place Dark Heart: Protection

[22:33] Alathon: several really, really bright bolts of energy streak out towards him....
[22:33] Alathon: ((too bad they're stoppable))

[22:36] Alathon: ((one fled west, one fled east))
[22:36] Tsukasa: (He shot Gerand and swung at Cao?)
[22:36] Caoilinn: (Then you typoed one.)
[22:36] Alathon: ((I said the one.. oh))
[22:36] Alathon: ((I meant the one who ran west shot at gerand))
[22:36] Tsukasa: (Which did which?)
[22:37] Alathon: and the one in the tentacles stays stuck in tentacles.
[22:37] Gerand: (you are dealing that guy damage right?)
[22:37] Alathon: lightning dude takes two more shots at Sheena

[22:38] Alathon: but he is taking damage
[22:38] Caoilinn: (Lightning guy's going to eat the crit attack from Sheena?)
[22:38] Tsukasa: (Yeah... shouldn't he shoot at her magical bolts?)
[22:38] Sheena: ( he has to beat the attack DC to destory them)
[22:38] Sheena: (soooo)
[22:39] Sheena: (crit count for that to? would be DC 58)

[22:41] * Sheena since this is her first time useing the shield in a major fight she doges a bit on reflex

[22:41] Sheena: (splash)
[22:41] Alathon: But it splashes against the shield with a tremendous report, and does not penetrate it.
[22:42] Alathon: drops one rank
[22:42] Tsukasa: (You keep rolling your fail and your crit in the wrong order)
[22:42] Sheena: (yes i noticed)
[22:42] * Sheena Holds Dark Heart in front of her as she strains to hold the shield up
[22:43] Alathon: Tsukasa is up

[22:44] Alathon: ((this has been a hard lesson for kuonji in why ninja style fighting is way better than brawling))
[22:45] Caoilinn: (It's an important one, though. :) )
[22:45] Caoilinn: (He should have known better.)
[22:45] Tsukasa: (Would he even be alive now if it weren't for Stoneskin?)
[22:45] Sheena: (its a lesson all young ninja learn some day)

[22:46] Alathon: You take.. uh.. zero damage, but only have 10 pts left on stoneskin
[22:46] Caoilinn: (Well, I don't think he should have dropped into the middle of them, but other than that, he's been doing ok.)
[22:46] Alathon: Caoilinn, you're up
[22:47] *** Gerand has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[22:47] Gerand: What I miss? [01:42] * Sheena Holds Dark Heart in front of her as she strains to hold the shield up
[22:47] Caoilinn: (A lot)
[22:47] Alathon: you can hear some nasty 'thuds' from nearby to the northeast, and have a rider swinging a gun at you like a bat
[22:47] Caoilinn: (Guess I really need to take care of the one that's swinging at me first...)

[22:49] Alathon: you get pretty close, you see them, and they see you
[22:50] Alathon: *nod*
[22:50] Alathon: Tsukasa is actually up now ;p
[22:50] * Sanshi runs at full speed towards the NE fight, to get Tsukasa in range.

[22:50] Ala-bot: Tsukasa rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{34}
[22:51] Tsukasa: (Aww. Just a sec)
[22:51] Caoilinn: (That's a lot of will... Probably an error, but the naked roll makes it anyway.)
[22:51] Tsukasa: roll 1d20+5
[22:51] Ala-bot: Tsukasa rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{15}
[22:51] Alathon: Sanshi is paralyzed, and skids up against a tree.

[22:52] Caoilinn: (What about Tsukasa?)
[22:52] Alathon: Tsukasa, make a ride check

[22:53] Alathon: Tsukasa avoids being entangled in straps or otherwise being injured.
[22:53] Alathon: You can act.. from where you are on the edge of the trees on the north side, you can't see who's to the northeast, but you do see the guy in the tentacles, and the guy to the west of the tentacles
[22:53] Alathon: oh, and a corpse, courtesy of caoilinn
[22:53] Sheena: And glowing balls of doom
[22:54] Tsukasa: (I didn't reach the northeast? Damn)
[22:54] Alathon: you gotto it
[22:54] Alathon: but you have to go through some brush to get to kuonji's fight
[22:54] Tsukasa: (Blah.)
[22:55] Alathon: what doyou do?
[22:55] * Tsukasa twists around on Sanshi's back and takes a pair of shots at the guy escaping Gerand.

[22:56] * Tsukasa almost drops the rifle as soon as the reflex is done, leaning forward over Sanshi.
[22:56] * Gerand thinks it's time to cast... a Fire Spell!
[22:57] Tsukasa: "Sanshi! Are you all right?!"
[22:57] * Gerand attempts to cast Scorching Ray at the dude Tsukasa just fried
[22:57] Alathon: Sanshi is a little scratched from the uncontrolled skid.. but is mostly terrified by being unable to move.
[22:57] Alathon: roll it up, +6 to hit touch attack
[22:57] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled it up, +6 to hit touch attack --> error: malformed expression
[22:58] Gerand: (that's rolling with my cha right?

[23:59] Caoilinn: (Enh. Would have been in any case.)
[23:59] *** Gerand has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).
[23:59] Tsukasa: (He's ME today...)
[23:59] Alathon: The rider with the hand-bazooka shouts: "Kill this one, god dammit!"
[23:59] Caoilinn: (About Tsukasa?)
[00:00] *** Gerand has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[00:00] Alathon: ((uh, btw.. you can't cast Protection on other people, that's the 4 point version of shield))

[00:01] Caoilinn: (So to... ok, I'll stop...)
[00:02] Sheena: (hmm you right, Sorry about that.)
[00:02] * Tsukasa drops the spent rifle and snags the beam, starting the damn thing's charge cycle.
[00:02] Tsukasa: (Beam: Meant the plasma one, oops)
[00:02] Alathon: Gerand is up
[00:02] Alathon: *nod*
[00:03] Gerand: okay, anyone dying near me?
[00:03] Alathon: uh, harleyridres?
[00:03] Alathon: sheena is in the air above you
[00:03] Gerand: or a cluster of people nearby?
[00:03] Alathon: and tsukasa is across the camp ground.
[00:03] Gerand: No, people I can kill taht are dying. I'm casting Magic missile
[00:04] Alathon: oh
[00:04] Caoilinn: (*pets her cat, who starts chewing on her hand.)
[00:04] Alathon: there's a very almost dead rider to the west, and one nearby to the east that you winged.
[00:04] Gerand: they within 15 ft of eachother?
[00:04] Alathon: no
[00:04] Alathon: it would also occur to you that magic missile might not penetrate their demonstrably heavy armor
[00:04] Gerand: which looks healthier?
[00:04] Alathon: the one to the west
[00:05] Gerand: hmm... might as well heal myself then.
[00:05] Alathon: If you try, you succeed.
[00:05] Gerand: I heal myself for 10 damage then move towards tsukasa
[00:05] Alathon: it'll take you a couple rounds to get from where you are (fringe of the south side) to get into the trees to the northeast
[00:06] Alathon: but you're making progress
[00:06] Gerand: hm then I'll go closer to teh guy I winged
[00:06] Gerand: wait, ignore that last line
[00:06] Alathon: the two riders to the right of you follow orders, and swing to aim into the trees at Tsukasa.
[00:06] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+10-4

[00:07] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{11}
[00:07] Sheena: WHAT THE FUCK
[00:07] Caoilinn: (I thought a force shield stopped the full attack)
[00:07] Alathon: ((actually, you're right, so Tsukasa takes 1 pt damage total))
[00:08] Alathon: roll 1d20+7 dodge
[00:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+7 dodge --> [ 1d20=14 ]{21}
[00:08] Alathon: he evades them, and they piffle off into bushes.
[00:08] Sheena: (how close is that guy to Tsu?)
[00:08] Alathon: he's like 20 feet or less from her

[00:13] Gerand: "so much for not torching the trees..."
[00:13] Alathon: (dead)
[00:13] Alathon: They're not on fire, fortunately, they're just gone.
[00:13] Caoilinn: (Sanshi just lost 2 feet! Sorry, I'm tired. Let's try to wrap this up quickly...)

[00:13] Sheena: (im helping! )

[00:15] Alathon: the bullet shatters on a force field.
[00:15] Alathon: the force field drops.
[00:15] Tsukasa: "Do you people... Ever bother to learn how to use your guns? Or do you point in a vague direction and hope for results?"

[00:38] Alathon: You succeed; you have to reach a bit to get to her on Sanshi, but she's up 10 hp.
[00:39] Alathon: the two riders both take their shots, at Tsukasa.
[00:39] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+10
[00:39] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{21}, [ 1d20=9 ]{19}
[00:39] Alathon: both are on target (even with the -4)
[00:39] Gerand: "Goddamn it... Next time ask for help. I almost didn't see you dying."
[00:39] Alathon: roll 2#1d12+4
[00:39] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d12+4 --> [ 1d12=12 ]{16}, [ 1d12=7 ]{11}
[00:40] Caoilinn: (Does Gerand provide any cover?)
[00:40] * Tsukasa is unable to make any kind of snarky remark, seeing as the bullets jerk her body around in the harness and leave her bleeding out and unconscious on the forest floor.
[00:40] Gerand: (...)
[00:40] Alathon: The plasma rifle, it's trigger no longer depressed, whines and powers down.
[00:40] Gerand: "DAMN IT! I JUST HEALED HER!"
[00:41] Gerand: (Tsukasa, your HP?)
[00:41] Alathon: As you watch, her bleeding form vanishes, her uniofrm settling against the ground, empty.
[00:41] Tsukasa: (-8)
[00:41] Sheena: (wtf?)
[00:42] Tsukasa: (Agreed)
[00:42] Gerand: "The Hell?"
[00:42] Gerand: "What Just Happened!"
[00:42] Sheena: (no ct armor soak?)
[00:42] Alathon: ((it did, 4 pts each))
[00:42] Alathon: Sheena is up
[00:43] Gerand: (probably should have cast stoneskin instead...)
[00:43] * Sheena pulls out her back up blaster and sicks it in the dead guys face
[00:43] Sheena: Roll 1d20+8
[00:43] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{19}

[00:44] Sheena: (whats there damage?)
[00:44] Alathon: 1d8
[00:44] Sheena: Roll 1d8
[00:44] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d8 --> [ 1d8=3 ]{3}
[00:44] Caoilinn: (Did one of the two guys that shot her have a jammed gun?)
[00:44] Sheena: (does the +2 count for gun?)
[00:45] Alathon: (hrm.. actually wierd, yeah it would.))
[00:45] Alathon: ((and, pretty sure no :( ))
[00:45] Alathon: ((but she'd be at -1 if one of em did))
[00:45] Caoilinn: (Ok... next?)
[00:45] Sheena: (you do know they have to take us back past i life in negive to kill us?)
[00:46] Alathon: (yes)
[00:46] Sheena: (k, im still wtf'ing over here tho)
[00:46] Alathon: Sanshi is up
[00:46] Alathon: (it definately wouldn't be obvious to your character what happened)
[00:46] Gerand: (you aren't teh only one)
[00:47] Tsukasa: roll 1d20-2
[00:47] Ala-bot: Tsukasa rolled 1d20-2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{16}
[00:47] Alathon: nope :(
[00:47] Gerand: Zombies?
[00:47] * Sanshi growls. "YOU! Hurt! WILL!"
[00:47] Gerand: "Me?"
[00:47] Alathon: the guy who was chasing gerand tries to tackle gerand.
[00:47] Gerand: "What did I doi
[00:48] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[00:48] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{17}
[00:48] Gerand: "Graaack!'
[00:48] Sheena: (shouldnt that have broken by now?)
[00:48] Alathon: (No)
[00:48] Caoilinn: (He needs to roll a 20, unless it has a set duration.)
[00:48] Gerand: roll 1d20+3
[00:48] Ala-bot: Gerand rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{10}
[00:48] Alathon: (it does, but it's not short)
[00:48] Alathon: (only reason it even has a duration is because the guy is dead.)
[00:48] Gerand: Damn it! That's RUDE!"
[00:48] Alathon: he connects, and tries to drag you to the ground.
[00:49] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[00:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{9}
[00:49] Alathon: roll your strength.. haha
[00:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled your strength.. haha --> error: malformed expression
[00:49] Alathon: doesn't matter
[00:49] Gerand: roll 1d20-1
[00:49] Ala-bot: Gerand rolled 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{18}
[00:49] Alathon: his balance sucks, and he totally fails to tackle you. He looks like Louisville defense trying to take down Ray Rice.
[00:49] Caoilinn: (As he tumbles to the ground and unforutanely rolls into reach of Sanshi's unparalyzed jaws.)
[00:49] Alathon: Caoilinn is up
[00:49] Alathon: as is Kuonji
[00:50] * Caoilinn runs toward the surviving Riders.
[00:50] Alathon: if you run full speed, you'll reach Sanshi at the end of htis round.
[00:50] Caoilinn: (That's fine.)
[00:50] Alathon: Alright, Gerand is up.
[00:51] Caoilinn: (...)
[00:51] Alathon: do something! spit in his eye!
[00:52] Gerand: okay. I'm casting another fire spell
[00:52] Gerand: burning hands
[00:52] Alathon: haha
[00:52] Alathon: go for it
[00:52] Caoilinn: (Setting Sanshi on fire. Check.)
[00:52] Gerand: what do I roll for it?
[00:52] Alathon: burning hands?
[00:52] Gerand: yeah
[00:52] Alathon: 5d4 damage
[00:53] Alathon: he gets a reflex save for half.
[00:53] Alathon: roll 1d20
[00:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{4}
[00:53] Alathon: yeah, roll that damage
[00:53] Gerand: roll 5d4 BURN BABY BURN!
[00:53] Ala-bot: Gerand rolled 5d4 BURN BABY BURN! --> [ 5d4=14 ]{14}
[00:53] Caoilinn: (And what effect does Gerand's curse have?)
[00:53] Alathon: roll 1d20+6 save
[00:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+6 save --> [ 1d20=9 ]{15}
[00:53] Alathon: So, yeah..
[00:53] Alathon: the rider is scorched
[00:53] Gerand: (yeah, I've been wondering that)
[00:53] Alathon: Gerand, dex save
[00:53] Gerand: roll 1d20+3
[00:53] Ala-bot: Gerand rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{18}
[00:53] Alathon: You eat 7 fire damage, 4 of which is absorbed by your CT armor.
[00:54] Gerand: Ow! Ow! Hot!"
[00:54] Alathon: That was the best Burning Hands you've ever cast.. it was a whole circle of fire from your hands, instead of just a cone
[00:54] Gerand: (Ow...)
[00:54] Caoilinn: (hehe)
[00:54] Alathon: the two riders by sheena try to club her with their guns.
[00:54] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+10
[00:54] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{13}, [ 1d20=16 ]{26}
[00:54] Gerand: (the rider dead?)
[00:55] Alathon: No, he's in semi-good health.
[00:55] Alathon: well.. he's more than half dead, but he's not on the edge of death, ;p
[00:55] Gerand: (Right. I'm stabbing him next round)
[00:55] Gerand: (in the face)
[00:55] Sheena: Roll 1d20+4
[00:55] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{16}
[00:55] Sheena: Roll 1d20+2
[00:55] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{16}
[00:55] Alathon: You dodge the first one, not the second one
[00:55] Alathon: roll 1d10+8
[00:55] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d10+8 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{16}
[00:56] Alathon: 12 damage after armor.
[00:56] Alathon: or wait

[00:56] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20-2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{16}
[00:56] Alathon: sanshi still doesn't break free
[00:56] Alathon: Sheena, what do you wana do?
[00:56] Sheena: Shoot em in the face again and speed out of there to sanshi
[00:56] Alathon: go for it
[00:57] Sheena: Roll 1d20+8
[00:57] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{13}

[00:57] Alathon: roll 1d20+6 dodge
[00:57] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+6 dodge --> [ 1d20=19 ]{25}
[00:57] Alathon: he dodges
[00:57] Alathon: the guy by Gerand decides tackling is for the birds, and just takes a straight up swing at him with his fist.
[00:57] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[00:57] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{10}
[00:57] Gerand: roll 1d20+3
[00:57] Ala-bot: Gerand rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{20}
[00:57] Alathon: He isn't much of a pugilist though.
[00:58] Gerand: HAH!
[00:58] Alathon: You dodge easily.
[00:58] Sheena: (gah fucking kill them all ready)
[00:58] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[00:58] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{15}
[00:58] Alathon: roll 1d20
[00:58] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{16}
[00:58] Gerand: (Damn it. NOW! When he fails at his roll I roll well...)
[00:58] Alathon: After the bad punch, he perks up, looking for something...
[00:58] Alathon: roll 1d20+7
[00:58] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{9}
[00:58] Alathon: roll 1d20+4

[00:58] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4d8 --> [ 4d8=24 ]{24}
[00:59] Gerand: "Yes!"
[00:59] Alathon: His left eye just.. pops out, spraying blood and gore.
[00:59] Alathon: (dead)
[00:59] Caoilinn: (Just one left?)
[00:59] Alathon: two left, by sheena
[00:59] Alathon: maybe 100 feet to the south
[00:59] Caoilinn: (I suppose we can't just autokill them?)
[00:59] Alathon: well, more like 80ish
[00:59] Sheena: (i ran way remember?)
[00:59] Alathon: okay, chasing sheena
[00:59] Sheena: (really cant get hit again)
[01:00] Alathon: it'll only take like..
[01:00] Alathon: Yuuno hops out of Sheena's hair, turns, and faces the riders.
[01:00] Alathon: Yuuno: "S-struggle bind!"
[01:00] Sheena: (Now im really wtfing)
[01:01] Alathon: roll 1d20+1

[01:01] Alathon: roll 1d20-6+3 dodge
[01:01] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20-6+3 dodge --> [ 1d20=18 ]{15}
[01:02] Sheena: (gah)
[01:02] Alathon: bands of energy form around the riders, but they avoid them.
[01:02] Alathon: Yuuno scurries north behind sheena.
[01:02] Alathon: Yuuno: "it's not fair!"
[01:02] Sheena: "Less bitching more running!"
[01:02] Alathon: Caoilinn, you can teleport to them
[01:02] Alathon: since they're chasing sheena.
[01:03] Alathon: one of 'em anuyways
[01:03] * Caoilinn does so and attacks.
[01:03] Caoilinn: roll 1d20+5

[01:03] Alathon: She never did (that you know of) until today
[01:04] Alathon: You slice him hard across the back, and his legs stop moving. Death follows quickly.
[01:04] Alathon: the last remaining rider curses, looking around at the injured but living hostiles surrounding him.
[01:04] Alathon: Gerand, you're up
[01:05] Caoilinn: "You guy should have talked."
[01:05] Gerand: anyone withing shooting range?

[01:06] Alathon: roll 1d20+10
[01:06] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{27}

[01:07] Sheena: Roll 1d20+9
[01:07] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{29}
[01:07] Sheena: (damn close)
[01:07] Caoilinn: (A 20 is good.)
[01:07] Alathon: Sheena manages to evade the bullet that coulda maybe claimed her life.
[01:07] Alathon: end of round, start of next; sheena is up.
[01:07] Caoilinn: (Or knocked her out, at least.)
[01:08] Alathon: ((yeah.. she has people around to bandage her))
[01:08] Sheena: (aheam? Tsu?)
[01:08] Alathon: Tsukasa is kinda.. not here.
[01:08] * Sheena stops near sanshi and takes a shot
[01:08] Alathon: Well.. you assume she's with you in spirit, at least.

[01:08] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d6+2 --> [ 1d6=6 ]{8}
[01:08] Gerand: (Her uniform is though, so she's probably been abducted by perverted doctor ninjas)
[01:09] Sheena: "Where the hell is Tsuka!"
[01:09] Alathon: You plug him in the chest; he staggers, shudders for a moment, and collapses onto the ground.
[01:09] Alathon: (dead)
[01:09] Alathon: Yuuno: "I... I dunno..."
[01:09] Caoilinn: (All dead?)
[01:09] * Sheena looks around painked for a moment before falling over herself
[01:10] Alathon: The forest seems unnaturally quiet, as several seconds pass without a single gunshot fired.
[01:10] Sheena: "ow.."
[01:10] Alathon: anyways.
[01:10] Alathon: We'll Finish here.
[01:10] * Caoilinn checks Tsukasa's clothes.
[01:10] Alathon: Tsukasa's clothes are fairly damaged, bullet ridden.. bloody.. and totally miss anything that was her.

Session #15
[18:09] Alathon: anyways
[18:10] Alathon: where we left off, most of the party was congregated on the eastern fringe of the Harleyrider camp, somewhat the worse for wear after a nasty fight.
[18:10] Alathon: "most" not including Tsukasa, whose clothes are present, but whose body is not.
[18:10] Kuonji: O_O
[18:10] Kuonji: (no one mentioned that O_O)
[18:11] Tsukasa: (Yeah, enjoy pervs)
[18:11] Gerand: (yes we did)
[18:11] Caoilinn: (Read the log)
[18:11] Alathon: Tsukasa was the only party member to be mortally wounded, and vanished from her clothes Yoda-style upon falling unconscious.
[18:11] Alathon: She was not, however, the only party member to be wounded.
[18:12] Kuonji: (hw badly did I get fucked up? ^^;;)
[18:12] Gerand: (Who else is wounded?)
[18:12] Tsukasa: (I think you got out without a scratch)
[18:12] Tsukasa: (Sheena's about to fall over if I remember right)
[18:12] Caoilinn: (Everyone was hurt)
[18:12] Alathon: Kuonji was down a few hitpoints after stoneskin wore off, but is otherwise in good shape.
[18:12] Gerand: (Because of stoneskin I'm barely hurt, kounji the same)
[18:13] Sheena: (im semi out of it on the ground, once that armor fades it wont be prity)
[18:13] Alathon: And... as far as you can tell, that's it for the Harleyriders in the immediate area.
[18:13] Alathon: If there are any more, they're not showing their faces.
[18:13] Alathon: Start here.
[18:13] * Caoilinn looks around for any signs of Tsukasa.
[18:13] Alathon: roll your search
[18:13] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled your search --> error: malformed expression
[18:13] Gerand: "Damn it! Anyone seen Tsukasa? She sorta vanished after being shot. Without her clothes..."
[18:13] * Kuonji appears near Caoilinn
[18:13] Caoilinn: roll 1d20+2
[18:13] Ala-bot: Caoilinn rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{16}
[18:13] * Kuonji looks at Gerand
[18:14] Gerand: "I had just healed her too...."
[18:14] Kuonji: "What?!"
[18:14] Gerand: "HEy, I didn't do it!"
[18:14] * Kuonji eyes him suscpiciously
[18:14] Gerand: "She sorta shimmered or something and left her clothes behind."
[18:15] Gerand: (Do I know anything about what might have happened? Knowledge Arcane?)
[18:15] Caoilinn: "Gerand, is there anyone else who needs healing?"
[18:15] Alathon: Caoilinn looks, but doesn't find Tsukasa anywhere, or evidence of her for that matter.
[18:15] Gerand: "I'm fine. Kounji looks good too. Where's Sheena?"
[18:16] * Sheena 's armors fades away leaving a fried and bloody body on the grass
[18:16] Sheena: ( i was by sanshi)
[18:16] Caoilinn: "She's over there, next to that emote."
[18:16] Alathon: Gerand, your knowledge would suggest that the most likely cause of this was a conditional spell such as a Contingency
[18:16] Gerand: (Can I see sheena from here?)
[18:16] Alathon: However, you haven't observed her casting magic, much less magic of that order of magnitude
[18:16] * Gerand goes and heals Sheena for 10 HP)
[18:17] * Sanshi sniffles. "Where Mommy?"
[18:17] * Caoilinn looks around for any downed Harleyriders that can be stabilized for later questioning.
[18:17] Gerand: "look, the only spell I know of that could take Tsukasa away is something like a contingency teleportation spell. But I haven't seen Tsu Cast ANY Spells, and I certainly didn't cast it."
[18:18] Alathon: There are at least a couple; each of you can make two medical rolls to see if you can stabilize them.
[18:18] Caoilinn: "What kind of teleport leaves your clothes behind?"
[18:18] Alathon: DC 15
[18:18] Caoilinn: (Would a heal from Gerand suffice?)
[18:18] Tsukasa: (Heh. Bad time to lose the medic)
[18:18] Alathon: Yes, healing for one hitpoint would succeed automatically.
[18:19] Gerand: "No idea, but that's the best I can come up with. she certainly didn't get out of her clothes, she must have been teleported out of em.""
[18:19] * Caoilinn securely binds him.
[18:19] Alathon: Since none of them are being beat to shit by tentacles, on fire, or otherwise taking continuing damage other than internal (or external) bleeding
[18:19] Caoilinn: "Could you stop this one from dying, please, Gerand."
[18:19] * Gerand heals the guy Cao bound for 1hp
[18:19] * Sheena rolls over in the grass.
[18:19] Sheena: "Can i get a hand here?"
[18:19] Gerand: "There."
[18:19] Caoilinn: "Thanks."
[18:20] Gerand: (I healed you for 10hp earlier)
[18:20] Gerand: (Sheena that is)
[18:20] Sheena: (hand up fool)
[18:20] * Caoilinn leaves the Rider someplace in plain sight.
[18:20] * Gerand helps Sheena up.
[18:20] Gerand: "sure."
[18:20] Caoilinn: "Are you all right, Sanshi?"
[18:21] Kuonji: "Taicho, how many are we planning on taking prisoner?"
[18:21] * Sheena leans heveyly on her staff while poking the remains of the uniform.
[18:21] Sanshi: "_I_ okay, but... Mommy?"
[18:21] Sheena: "Well this things wasted.."
[18:21] Caoilinn: (Is Sanshi still paralyzed?)
[18:21] Alathon: roll 10#1d20-2
[18:21] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 10#1d20-2 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{13}, [ 1d20=15 ]{13}, [ 1d20=13 ]{11}, [ 1d20=1 ]{-1}, [ 1d20=2 ]{0}, [ 1d20=2 ]{0}, [ 1d20=7 ]{5}, [ 1d20=16 ]{14}, [ 1d20=18 ]{16}, [ 1d20=5 ]{3}
[18:21] Sanshi: "Can't... move, but not hurt."
[18:21] Alathon: Yup
[18:21] Caoilinn: (Take 20, Sanshi. :) )
[18:21] Alathon: Yeah, if Sanshi wants to just focus on it for a couple minutes, he can break free.
[18:22] Sanshi: (He shall do so then)
[18:22] Caoilinn: "We don't know about Tsukasa yet, Sanshi."
[18:22] Gerand: "Sanshi, the spell that took Tsukasa away probably isn't actually harmful, and I couldn't do anything more for her."
[18:22] Gerand: "If it was a spell taht is."
[18:22] Kuonji: "That's not very reassuring."
[18:23] * Sheena breaks off the charred armor and notices she has a case of underboob now.
[18:23] Sheena: "Damn lighting freaks, Well i showed him..."
[18:23] Kuonji: (underboob?)
[18:23] Tsukasa: (Of wha?)
[18:23] Gerand: "Best I can do. I was closest to her and I barely have any idea what happened. I can't think of who could have cast that on Tsu, She didn't do it herself."
[18:23] Sheena: (top of shirt left, no middle.)
[18:23] Sheena: (you guys need to get out more)
[18:24] Caoilinn: "Hm. I don't know how many prisoners we want... I suppose we could stabilize the others who are still alive, but I'd hate to just have to kill them later..."
[18:24] * Caoilinn sighs.
[18:24] Caoilinn: "Let's bind and stabilize those who aren't dead."
[18:24] Gerand: "Eh lets take 3, that way they're easy to handle, and if we don't get anything from one we have 2 spares."
[18:25] Sheena: "How about we find tsuka in sted of playing with our enimes?"
[18:25] Sheena: "Let em rot"
[18:25] Gerand: "You have any idea where Tsu might be?"
[18:25] Kuonji: "Err... Sheena-san... I'd be happy to lend you my shirt."
[18:26] Caoilinn: "I'd be happy to, if I had any idea where she was."
[18:26] Sheena: "Nah, ill just get it all bloody"
[18:26] Gerand: cause our enemies might know something useful at least."
[18:26] Kuonji: "Really, it's... not a problem."
[18:26] Gerand: "Hey, we reported to Venus yet? She might know something."
[18:26] * Kuonji blushes
[18:26] Caoilinn: "Do you have any suggestions, Sheena?"
[18:27] Sheena: "Once Sanshi is free we follow him?"
[18:27] Kuonji: "Gerand, is it possible the spell could have been cast ahead of time?"
[18:27] Gerand: "More than possible, probably keyed to trigger when she was injured enough."
[18:28] Caoilinn: "It probably is a good idea to call Venus."
[18:28] Kuonji: "In that case, is it possible the spell took her back to town or maybe even Crystal Tokyo?"
[18:28] * Caoilinn tries to contact her.
[18:28] Gerand: "possible. It all depends on who cast it. which Is why I reccomend calling Lady Venus."
[18:29] Gerand: "I don't know anyone we've met so far with that kind of power."
[18:29] Kuonji: "Is it possible this is her... ability?"
[18:30] Alathon: Venus: "Yes?"
[18:30] Gerand: "possible, but I haven't seen her cast ANY Spells, and that's a really high power spell."
[18:30] Gerand: "beyond my level."
[18:30] Alathon: ((Venus is answering Caoilinn's request for contact in general))
[18:31] Tsukasa: (Ah, but thou assumest it to be a spell :) )
[18:31] Gerand: (of course I do! When you have a hammer, everything that pounds stuff looks like a hammer.)
[18:31] Caoilinn: "We engaged the group of Harleyriders and defeated them, but Tsukasa was badly wounded and seems to have vanished."
[18:31] Kuonji: "Err, you misunderstand. I mean, ABILITY. Like how taicho can make things out of crystal."
[18:31] Gerand: "without her clothes even.."
[18:32] * Kuonji shakes his head
[18:32] Gerand: "I don't know enough about that to say."
[18:32] Alathon: Venus: "Wait.. what do you mean by vanished? Under what circumstances, exactly?"
[18:32] Gerand: "But teleporting naked is sort of a strange ability."
[18:32] Tsukasa: (I'm a Kuno)
[18:32] Gerand: (heh)
[18:33] Caoilinn: "After taking injuries that rendered here unconscious, she seemed to vanish, as if teleporting, leaving her clothing behind."
[18:33] * Kuonji begins to look around
[18:33] Caoilinn: (her)
[18:33] * Sheena looks at the two fools
[18:33] Sheena: "Will you idoits shut up"
[18:34] Alathon: Venus: "I... oh hell."
[18:34] Alathon: Venus: "I'm on my way."
[18:34] * Caoilinn frowns and looks around.
[18:34] Alathon: Venus: "Where, exactly, are you?"
[18:35] Caoilinn: "We're in the woods north of the town, on the eastern shore of the lake." (correct me if I'm wrong)
[18:35] Alathon: ((that's accurate))
[18:35] Alathon: Venus: "How far north of town?"
[18:36] Caoilinn: "Kuonji, do you know how far north of town we are?"
[18:36] Alathon: You can see golden sparklies through the communicator, followed by the ground in the background disappearing in favor of the sky.
[18:36] * Caoilinn figures someone who operates as a scout may be good at keeping track of that sort of thing.
[18:36] * Sheena looks around as the general destrustion she has caused
[18:36] Sheena: "Belive me, you can't miss it."
[18:37] Gerand: "There's a damn impressive blast site."
[18:37] * Kuonji shakes his head briefly, as if clearing it
[18:37] * Sheena is still leaning heavly on her staff
[18:37] Alathon: Venus: "Blast site.. how big? Visible from the air?"
[18:38] Kuonji: "We're somewhere between three and five miles away from town
[18:38] Kuonji: "
[18:38] Sheena: "heh.. Bastered shot at a friend, he he didn't even leave atoms left."
[18:38] Caoilinn: "Did you catch that? Three to five miles."
[18:38] Kuonji: "Umm.. Taichou, I don't want to interrupt, but... I feel odd."
[18:38] * Caoilinn frowns.
[18:38] Caoilinn: "Odd? How so?"
[18:39] Kuonji: "It's like... someone's knocking... on my mind."
[18:39] Kuonji: "If that makes sense..."
[18:39] Sheena: "Hey..."
[18:40] * Sheena pokes her head abit
[18:40] Tsukasa: (Gonna open the door?)
[18:40] Caoilinn: "So did I, now that you mention it."
[18:40] Sheena: "Me to and its damned annoying"
[18:40] Caoilinn: (No, I'm not crazy, thank you very much.)
[18:40] Gerand: ""I don't feel anything..."
[18:40] Sheena: "Theres enought voices in there all ready damn it, I dont need ghests stoping by"
[18:40] * Gerand looks at them as if the battle has made them insane
[18:41] Gerand: "I think I'm offended."
[18:41] Caoilinn: (Is Venus still on the line?)
[18:41] Gerand: "Wait. enough Voices in..."
[18:41] * Gerand backs away from Sheena slowly
[18:42] Gerand: "Hey, where's Yuuno?"
[18:42] Gerand: "He can teleport people can't he?"
[18:42] Alathon: Venus is online, but not paying attention.
[18:42] Gerand: "Maybe he'll know something."
[18:42] Caoilinn: "He doesn't leave their clothes behind."
[18:42] Sheena: (defernt kinda of magic)
[18:42] Tsukasa: (You never know. Powers of a pervert ferret...)
[18:42] Caoilinn: "And there's usually a flash, if I recall..."
[18:43] Sheena: (Yuuno thinks other peoples teleports are wierd)
[18:43] Gerand: "still, it can't hurt to ask can it?"
[18:43] Alathon: Yuuno: "Uh.. what?"
[18:43] Caoilinn: "Sheena, are you up to trying a scan of the area?"
[18:44] Gerand: "yuuno, can you tell us anything about Tsukasa's vanishing act?"
[18:44] Alathon: roll 4d8
[18:44] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4d8 --> [ 4d8=22 ]{22}
[18:45] Gerand: (Duck and Cover!)
[18:45] Sheena: "You doing to carrie me back to town cao? That drained as it is."
[18:45] Gerand: (those are damage dice!)
[18:45] Tsukasa: (Don't worry, they're for me)
[18:45] Caoilinn: "I was just asking."
[18:45] Gerand: (As your team mate I'm worried)
[18:46] Caoilinn: (Probably how many minutes until she respawns :) )
[18:46] Gerand: (Where are you anyway?)
[18:46] Sheena: "I was just answering, i can do it if you want, just..."
[18:46] Tsukasa: (^_^)
[18:46] Caoilinn: (Ask her when she gets back)
[18:46] Kuonji: (will saves everyone! We're about to be mindcontrolled by the lloigor! :p)
[18:46] Caoilinn: "No, that's ok."
[18:46] Gerand: (the WHAT?)
[18:47] Kuonji: (it's a joke, relax)
[18:47] Gerand: (And why is no one knocking on my mind?)
[18:47] Caoilinn: (No one wants to visit *your* mind.)
[18:47] Gerand: (I feel left out.)
[18:47] Sheena: (ya really, its like the gheto of our mental naborhoods)
[18:47] Tsukasa: (Because no one loves you)
[18:48] Alathon: There's a soft 'pfft' sound; anyone to the north sees Tsukasa appear, standing, then collapse to the ground.
[18:48] Alathon: She's a bit north of where she was.
[18:48] Caoilinn: (Well, gee, I don't know where I am.)
[18:48] Gerand: (Are we to the north?)
[18:48] Kuonji: (yeah where am I? I was near cao)
[18:48] Sheena: "Tsuka!"
[18:48] Gerand: (I was where she vanished, can I see her?)
[18:48] Alathon: You're all together around sanshi at this point, with the tied up Riders.
[18:49] * Sheena moves over to the downed gunner
[18:49] Alathon: You can all see her now that Sheena pointed out that she appeared to the north.
[18:49] Gerand: "She's back?)
[18:49] Gerand: *"
[18:49] Kuonji: (where are her clothes?)
[18:49] Alathon: SHe's unconscious, and very, very pale. And naked.
[18:49] * Sanshi bounds over. "Mommy!"
[18:49] * Gerand picks up Tsukasa's clothes and brings them to her.
[18:49] Kuonji: (if no one has picked them up, I do)
[18:49] Caoilinn: "I'll take those."
[18:49] Kuonji: (fuck, beat)
[18:49] Caoilinn: "If you wouldn't mind..."
[18:49] * Gerand hands over said clothes
[18:49] Gerand: "not at all."
[18:49] * Caoilinn gestures for them to turn around.
[18:50] * Kuonji turns
[18:50] Gerand: "I'll just... wait over here... Out of sight."
[18:50] Alathon: As soon as Tsukasa's body hits the ground, blood spurts out.
[18:50] * Caoilinn sees what condition Tsukasa's in.
[18:50] Alathon: From multiple gunshot wounds.
[18:50] * Gerand turns around
[18:50] Gerand: (Can I heal her any more? Or no?)
[18:50] Alathon: Even to an untrained eye, she's obviously in very poor condition.
[18:50] Kuonji: (looks like gerand might need to look after all)
[18:50] Alathon: Nope, once / day.
[18:50] Tsukasa: (You BETTER)
[18:50] Gerand: (Fuck. I can't)
[18:50] Caoilinn: (Does she need to be stabilized?)
[18:51] Tsukasa: (Bah. I'm fucked then)
[18:51] Alathon: DC 15 medical check to stabilize her, for anyone who wants to try.
[18:51] Tsukasa: (YES. -22 HP)
[18:51] Caoilinn: "Anyone here have medic skills?"
[18:51] Alathon: That was when you popped in, more like -25 by now.
[18:51] * Caoilinn tries.
[18:51] Kuonji: (we need training, huh?)
[18:51] Caoilinn: (Any stat modifier?)
[18:51] Tsukasa: (*Raises a hand*)
[18:51] Tsukasa: (Int)
[18:51] Gerand: "I can't heal her any more. I healed her to the max today already."
[18:51] Sheena: (yuuno does)
[18:51] Kuonji: (lol, go medical ferret, go!)
[18:51] Caoilinn: (We can try without having points in the skill, right?)
[18:52] Gerand: (int 16)
[18:52] Alathon: Actually.. heh.. you do get a fort save to stabilize on your own, though with your negative hp you'll need a natural twenty. You're free to roll it once per hp.
[18:52] Alathon: Yes, you can try without having points. stat mod is wisdom
[18:52] Gerand: (Fuck. Wis 10)
[18:52] Caoilinn: (Wis? I like int better. :p )
[18:52] Caoilinn: roll 1d20
[18:52] Sheena: (venus sure is takenign a long time to get here)
[18:52] Ala-bot: Caoilinn rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{18}
[18:52] Kuonji: (shit, I got jack in wis... and that makes no sense -_-... damn you d20!)
[18:52] Tsukasa: (Saved!)
[18:52] Tsukasa: (Good time to roll well Cao)
[18:53] Gerand: (Could have always Divined it)
[18:53] Caoilinn: "Ok... I think I have her stabilized.."
[18:53] Alathon: Caoilinn succeeds in plugging the very worst of the holes, and gets a hold of what apears to be a spurting something-or-other and holds it tight.
[18:53] Alathon: You'll need to hold onto her to keep her from getting worse.
[18:53] Caoilinn: (What, forever?)
[18:54] * Sheena plops down on the grass near the injured Tsuka and Dr.Blenderchan
[18:54] Alathon: Well, she'd die a long time before forever, so no.
[18:54] Caoilinn: (How about bandages? I'm sure there'd be some in our gear.)
[18:54] Gerand: (Can stoneskin help?)
[18:54] Alathon: No.
[18:54] Alathon: Bandages did indeed help.
[18:54] Alathon: Without your kits you wouldn't have been able to make even this attempt
[18:54] Gerand: "here, take my Med kit, I don't usually need it."\
[18:55] Caoilinn: (Ok, so what would she need to be stable stabilized?)
[18:55] Gerand: "Damn it, Venus better get here soon..."
[18:55] * Sheena digs in her hair for the ferret
[18:55] Alathon: A magical healer, or a competent surgeon.
[18:55] Tsukasa: (Right. Since Tsukasa's probably the best surgeon IN these parts, we need magic)
[18:55] Alathon: Right after Gerand says that, Venus appears on the horizon, and drops down into the party.
[18:56] Caoilinn: "She reappeared."
[18:56] Kuonji: "Venus-sama!"
[18:56] Sheena: "hurt bad, but shes back"
[18:56] Gerand: "Can you help her?"
[18:56] Alathon: Venus walks over, and kneels by her.. takes a quick look at her.
[18:57] *** Ion has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[18:57] Alathon: roll 1d20+12
[18:57] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{25}
[18:57] Kuonji: (where's saturn when ya need her?)
[18:57] Alathon: Venus pauses for a moment, then opens up her communicator and taps something into it.
[18:58] Alathon: After a few 'rings', Renee shows up on screen.
[18:58] Alathon: Venus: "Renee, get back to the suite."
[18:58] Gerand: (renee?)
[18:58] Alathon: Venus: "Tsukasa is in critical condition."
[18:59] Sheena: (you havnt met them yet)
[18:59] Alathon: ((You would recognize the name, one of Venus' Aides, but you haven't met her.))
[18:59] * Gerand is not happy to hear that
[18:59] Alathon: Renee: "On my way."
[18:59] Alathon: Venus looks around for a moment, then speaks.
[18:59] Alathon: Venus: "Hold tight to her, Caoilinn, we're teleporting."
[18:59] Caoilinn: "Got it."
[18:59] * Caoilinn holds tight.
[19:00] Sheena: "Should we follow?"
[19:00] Alathon: YOu're all surrounded by golden sparklies, and after a moment of vertigo and discomfort, you appear somewhere else. Apparently in a rather nice hotel room.
[19:00] Alathon: Caoilinn, roll your medical again.
[19:01] Caoilinn: roll 1d20
[19:01] Ala-bot: Caoilinn rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{6}
[19:01] * Gerand uses his last EP to cast resistance on Tsukasa
[19:01] Sheena: (murderer!)
[19:01] Alathon: You had a good grasp before the teleport, you don't anymore. Blood spurts out.
[19:01] * Caoilinn curses.
[19:01] * Kuonji turns at Caoilinn's cursing
[19:01] Gerand: "I'm casting Resistance on her, Hopefully It should give her a fighting chance.
[19:01] Kuonji: "Oh shit."
[19:01] Alathon: Venus: "Dammit. Caoilinn, let me."
[19:01] * Caoilinn moves aside.
[19:02] Gerand: (Tsukasa, your Saving throws are +1
[19:02] Alathon: roll 1d20+22
[19:02] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{40}
[19:02] Alathon: Venus succeeds in stabilizing her.
[19:02] * Kuonji averts his eyes again
[19:02] Alathon: Around this time, you can hear the sound of someone fiddling with the lock on the room door.
[19:03] * Kuonji walks over to the door and opens it
[19:03] * Gerand Opens teh door
[19:03] Gerand: (Roll initiative!)
[19:03] * Sheena is to tired and to worried to laught at her other team members
[19:04] Alathon: Renee walks in, and immediately rushes over to have a look at Tsukasa, who is still covered in blood, and has sprayed a bit on the carpet as well.
[19:05] Alathon: ((For those who haven't seen her, Renee is a young woman who appears to be in the high twenties or low thirties, has a slight frame, with short dark hair, and dark eyes.))
[19:05] Gerand: (this is a tarantino game?)
[19:05] Alathon: It is when people get shot a whole shit ton of times ;p
[19:05] Tsukasa: (No, this is a girl at like -26 HP)
[19:05] Gerand: ($0 gallons of blood under high pressure?)
[19:05] Gerand: (*40)
[19:05] Alathon: Spurt would have been more accurate
[19:05] Alathon: Her heart's still beating, fortunately.
[19:06] Gerand: (that'll lead to blood loss)
[19:06] Tsukasa: (Only if you let it escape!)
[19:06] Alathon: Renee takes one look at Tsukasa and shoves a coffee table out of the way, and lies down next to her.
[19:07] Alathon: Renee grabs Tsukasa's flaccid hand in one of her own, and holds it, gritting her teeth slightly.

[19:07] Kuonji: (she gonna take some of the injuries?)
[19:07] * Gerand looks, intruiged despite Cao's earlier request not to. Magical healing is too interesting to pass up looking at)
[19:08] Caoilinn: (Btw, are there bound Harleriders cluttering the room or did they stay behind?)
[19:08] Alathon: roll 1d20+9
[19:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{15}
[19:08] Alathon: ((the harleyriders stayed behind.))
[19:08] Sheena: (blink kitty food)
[19:09] Alathon: Renee cries out in pain, and her clothes darken with blood. She passes out.
[19:09] Alathon: Nothing appears to happen to Tsukasa.
[19:09] Alathon: Venus curses.
[19:09] Kuonji: (hey, I was right... and... that's not good)
[19:09] Caoilinn: (Divine relationship? :) )
[19:09] Tsukasa: (... Ooops)
[19:09] * Kuonji turns again
[19:09] Kuonji: "What just happened?"
[19:09] Alathon: However, the handful of injuries which are visible on Renee (neck, face, arms) close rapidly.
[19:09] Alathon: Venus: "Goddammit.."
[19:09] Alathon: Venus looks over to Kuonji.
[19:10] Alathon: Venus: "Renee can take people's wounds.. she calls herself an Empath."
[19:10] Alathon: Venus: "The knack is taking them so fully that they're removed from them."
[19:10] Alathon: Venus shakes her head.
[19:10] Alathon: Venus: "She probably tried to grab everything."
[19:11] Alathon: About thirty seconds later, Renee's eyes will flutter open; she immediately looks over to Tsukasa, and grimaces in consternation.
[19:11] Gerand: "That's can't be good for her."
[19:11] Kuonji: "So... now we'll have two injured people in neeed of medical assistance?"
[19:11] Alathon: Venus: "She bounces back."
[19:11] Alathon: Venus: "But Renee... seriously, take it slow. Just get this one first."
[19:11] Kuonji: "Ah, useful."
[19:11] Gerand: "well that's good."
[19:11] Alathon: Venus motions with one hand to the wound her other hand is holding closed.
[19:11] * Sheena slumps againt a wall as her staff fades.
[19:12] Gerand: "You okay Sheena?"
[19:12] Alathon: Renee: "Yes.. good idea.."
[19:12] Sheena: "Oh ya.. Right as rain"
[19:12] Alathon: Renee has her teeth set, waiting for the pain to fade, before she starts again.
[19:12] * Gerand isn't sure if that's sarcasm.
[19:12] Alathon: Renee takes a deep breath, and squeezes Tsukasa's hand.
[19:12] Alathon: roll 1d20+10
[19:12] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{12}
[19:12] * Caoilinn absentmindedly licks her hand while watching Renee.
[19:13] * Kuonji looks for some glasses and a sink
[19:13] Alathon: It tastes coppery.
[19:13] * Gerand is also watching renee
[19:13] * Caoilinn looks at her hand and goes, "Bleah!"
[19:13] * Caoilinn makes a face.
[19:13] Gerand: "damn I wish I had more mana to work with..."
[19:13] Tsukasa: (Vampire!)
[19:14] Gerand: "and once Tsukasa gets better we're gonna talk about where the hell she went..."
[19:14] Alathon: Renee sucks in a deep breath, and one of the bloody spots on her clothes gets bloodier.. but she doesn't pass out, and when Venus tentatively lets go of Tsukasa, no blood spurts or jets.
[19:15] * Gerand mutters under his breath "That has to be hard on closthes"
[19:15] Alathon: It will take a good fifteen minutes of this, with each attempt taking a bit longer in between, but when Renee is done, Tsukasa's body will appear whole and unharmed, albeit very bloody in places, and very pale in others.
[19:15] Alathon: And yes, the carpet matches the curtains.
[19:15] * Caoilinn only hears the middle of that and gives Gerand a hard look.
[19:15] Tsukasa: (... Who's looking?)
[19:15] Kuonji: (any glasses in this hotel?)
[19:15] Tsukasa: (Tell me now.)
[19:15] Gerand: (middle of what?)
[19:15] Alathon: When you look around, you'll see that the suite is lavishly appointed.
[19:15] Tsukasa: (Hard on.)
[19:15] * Gerand is avidly watching Renee)
[19:16] Sheena: "At lest now i can answer any one who asks, WHats a hero?"
[19:16] Alathon: There are wine glasses, and a bottle of wine (empty) with them.
[19:16] * Gerand looks at Cao puzzled
[19:16] Alathon: A couple of the glasses are unused.
[19:16] Alathon: roll 1d4
[19:16] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=2 ]{2}
[19:16] * Gerand decides to go follow kounji.
[19:17] Caoilinn: (What's Sanshi doing during all of this, btw?)
[19:17] * Kuonji takes the glasses and gets some water for renee and tsukasa (assuming tsukasa is strong enough to drink when she comes out of it, if not, I'll give it to Sheena :p)
[19:17] * Gerand looks for food in this hotel
[19:17] Gerand: room
[19:18] Alathon: Renee looks up at Sheena, and shoots her a small smile.
[19:18] * Sanshi smiles and curls up around Tsukasa.
[19:19] * Tsukasa twitches slightly.
[19:19] Alathon: Venus will make space for Sanshi, and help Renee up; the both sit down on a couch, with Renee leaning heavily against Venus.
[19:19] Gerand: "she gonna be okay?"
[19:19] Alathon: Venus: "Yes."
[19:19] Alathon: Renee: "Yes."
[19:20] Gerand: "good."
[19:20] Kuonji: (I manage to find a tap or something?)
[19:20] Gerand: "and you? renee was it? you aren't hurt are you?"
[19:20] Alathon: You'll find a pitcher of what was probably ice water, with a couple glasses left.
[19:20] * Sheena closes her eyes and nods off at hearing the good news
[19:21] * Kuonji pours the water into the glasses and hands one to renee, setting the other near Tsukasa
[19:21] * Gerand heals Renee for 10HP.
[19:21] * Sanshi picks up the glass in his hand. "This for Mommy?"
[19:22] * Kuonji smiles at Sanshi, "Yes."
[19:22] Gerand: "I'll heal you. Least I can do for your help."
[19:22] Sheena: (your not the brightest are ya?)
[19:22] Alathon: It has no effect on Renee, who has already regenerated all the damage she took.
[19:22] Kuonji: (who, me?)
[19:22] Gerand: (ah well. It's the thought that counts.)
[19:22] Alathon: Renee: "Thank you, but I'll be fine. I just need a breather."
[19:22] Kuonji: (^^;;)
[19:22] * Caoilinn wiggles her fingers uncomfortably and looks around for something to clean them with.
[19:23] Alathon: There's always the drapes.
[19:23] Gerand: "ah. thanks by the way. I was kinda worried."
[19:23] * Caoilinn looks for something less expensive.
[19:23] Alathon: But, you can reasonably expect to find a washcloth or three in the bathroom.
[19:23] Caoilinn: (Is this the Marriot?)
[19:23] Alathon: It is a Marriot, you don't know which.
[19:23] * Gerand takes the cloth he used to wrap his athames earlier and gives some to Cao.
[19:24] Gerand: (Earlier as in first session)
[19:24] Alathon: Renee: "Is anyone else injured?"
[19:24] Gerand: "Slightly, but I'll live."
[19:24] Caoilinn: "Thanks, but I'll just use the washroom. Could you point me in the right direction, Renee?"
[19:24] * Sheena would answer but is passed out.
[19:24] Kuonji: *feeling rather useless, Kuonji looks for a blanket to drape over sheena
[19:24] Alathon: Renee points out that the washroom is through the door over 'there'.
[19:25] Gerand: "sheena doesn't look to good though."
[19:25] * Sheena slumped agsint the wall on the fall, in her broken and chared armor, being ingored.
[19:25] * Caoilinn goes through it and washes up.
[19:25] Sheena: (what a crule world!)
[19:25] Alathon: "Could you bring her over here?"
[19:25] Alathon: That's REnee speaking.
[19:25] * Gerand attempts to do just that.
[19:26] Gerand: (She's gonna skin me alive ain't she?)
[19:26] Alathon: Sheena doesn't weigh too much, so with some effort, you can get her over to the couch.
[19:26] * Gerand does just that then.
[19:26] * Tsukasa just twitches again, and her eyes open. "I don't hurt. How'd that happen?"
[19:27] Gerand: "Thank Renee here."
[19:27] Gerand: "She's an empath. She healed you."
[19:27] Kuonji: "Welcome back, Tsukasa-san."
[19:27] Sanshi: "Lady took you hurts."
[19:27] Alathon: Renee will lever Sheena up onto her lap; she wraps her arms around Sheena, and rests her chin on Sheena's shoulder, with her head against Sheena's.
[19:27] Gerand: "where the hell did you dissappear to? and you might wanna put some clothes on."
[19:28] * Tsukasa carefully levers herself up to lean on Sanshi.
[19:28] Gerand: "not in that order though."
[19:28] * Gerand turns away to make it obvious he's not looking at Tsu"
[19:28] Tsukasa: "Really, Sanshi? Renee, I... Thank you."
[19:28] Alathon: Renee pulls Sheena in tight, and gets to work.
[19:28] Kuonji: "Ack!" *Kounji tosses Tsukasa the blanket he was going to give Sheena.
[19:28] * Caoilinn comes back in with a damp towel that she offers to Venus.
[19:28] Alathon: roll 1d20+10+4
[19:28] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10+4 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{22}
[19:28] Gerand: "i'll get you a towel or something if you need it. you're a bit bloody."
[19:29] Alathon: A few moments pass..
[19:29] Alathon: roll 1d20+10+4
[19:29] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10+4 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{26}
[19:29] Gerand: "Or you can use Kounji's..."
[19:29] * Tsukasa flushes and grabs the towel, quickly wrapping it around herself.
[19:29] Alathon: At this point, all of Sheena's visible wounds have been transferred; Renee moans softly, Venus has a hand on her shoulder and squeezes it.
[19:30] Tsukasa: "Uh... thank you, Kuonji-kun..."
[19:30] * Kuonji blushes "Uhh... I got you a glass of water Tsukasa-san... I believe Sanshi has it."
[19:30] Sheena: (internal lighting damage, thats a new kinda pain)
[19:30] Alathon: Venus looks at Caoilinn's proferred towel.
[19:30] Alathon: Venus: "What for?"
[19:30] * Gerand is grateful that, however limited his healing is, It doesn't screw him over like that."
[19:30] Caoilinn: "Your hands."
[19:30] Alathon: Venus glances at her hands, which are indeed covered in blood.
[19:30] * Tsukasa looks over at Sheena and Renee, and starts glowing red.
[19:30] Alathon: Venus: "Oh, right. Thanks."
[19:31] Alathon: Venus accepts the towel, and wipes her hands mostly free of blood. They're still brown-ish.
[19:31] * Gerand notices the riders aren't with them.
[19:31] Gerand: "Hey, the riders we captured still in the clearing? I don't see em in the room."
[19:31] * Tsukasa nods to herself and takes the glass from Sanshi's hand. "Thank you for... that as well, Kuonji-kun."
[19:31] Caoilinn: "Presmedly."
[19:32] * Gerand nods.
[19:32] * Caoilinn returns the towel to the bathroom.
[19:32] * Kuonji scratches the back of his bandanna clad head "It was nothing, don't mention it."
[19:32] * Tsukasa sips the water.
[19:32] Tsukasa: "I think I lost a lot of fluid, because I am VERY thirsty."
[19:32] Gerand: "Tsukasa, you really freaked me out vanishing like that. Wher'd you go?"
[19:32] * Sheena mumbles a bit and starts to wake up.
[19:33] Caoilinn: (It even shocked him into talking more normally!)
[19:33] Gerand: (Yep. Reality checks do that for you.)
[19:33] * Caoilinn dismisses her armor.
[19:33] * Sheena opens one eye a bit and notices what shes feeling
[19:34] * Tsukasa pauses. "You know, I'm still rather confused on that myself. I think I shared a glass of wine and a chat with my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather in the bar at the end of the universe."
[19:34] Gerand: "freaky."
[19:34] Alathon: Venus: "Indeed."|
[19:34] Gerand: "Who was he? any interesting?"
[19:34] Alathon: Venus: "So... NDE, or something else?"
[19:35] Kuonji: "We still need to figure out that mental "knocking" as well"
[19:35] Gerand: (NDE?)
[19:35] Caoilinn: (Tatewaki? No wonder you're dazed and confused. :) )
[19:35] Caoilinn: (Near death experience, I suppose)
[19:35] Tsukasa: "Knocking? Well, it was troublesome when you people wouldn't listen to me."
[19:35] Alathon: NDE, pop culture term, near-death-experience
[19:35] * Sheena feals a warm cheek on hers, she snuggles into the hold more
[19:35] Caoilinn: "Ah, so that was you?"
[19:35] Gerand: "That actually happened? Why wasn't I knocked on?"
[19:35] Tsukasa: "It was warped enough to be a near-death experience, but I think I was actually coherent."
[19:36] Sheena: "Best wakeup ever."
[19:36] * Gerand looks at Sheena.
[19:36] Caoilinn: "Sorry, but I wasn't about to open my mind when the Harleyriders may very well be controlled by someone."
[19:36] Alathon: Anyone who's looking sees Renee plant a soft kiss on Sheena's right cheek.
[19:36] * Gerand looks away from sheena quickly.
[19:36] Alathon: Renee: "Now, up with you."
[19:36] Tsukasa: "Hm... actually, I think opening the mind is only for conversation. Control or anything else will... whoa."
[19:36] Alathon: Renee is smiling.
[19:37] Sheena: "awwww,"
[19:37] Alathon: Renee lets go of Sheena, and nudges her over towards the open spot on the couch.
[19:37] * Caoilinn glances at them.
[19:37] Gerand: "Well, learn something new everyday about your comrades I guess..."
[19:37] * Sheena moves over but is still really tired
[19:37] Alathon: Venus looks at Tsukasa, appraisingly.
[19:37] Sheena: (unless that restored engery to?)
[19:37] * Tsukasa shrugs. "I simply had the feeling I could have bull-rushed in, but I didn't want to."
[19:38] Alathon: Venus: "Indeed."
[19:38] Gerand: "You two know each other then?"
[19:38] Gerand: (At Renee and Sheena)
[19:38] Alathon: Renee: "Of course.. we arrived together nearly a month ago."
[19:39] Alathon: Renee: "Sadly, we haven't had an opportunity to get to know each other terribly well, what with this Harleyrider business.."
[19:39] Alathon: Renee shrugs.
[19:39] Gerand: "Ah. I just recently got shipped in."
[19:39] Gerand: "Glad to see sheena's making friends I guess?"
[19:40] Alathon: Renee: "Well, then.. welcome to the Protectorate of Nevada. Don't trust the water."
[19:40] Alathon: Renee can't help but roll her eyes slightly at Gerand's complete lack of subtlety and need to state the obvious.
[19:40] Gerand: "don't trust it? will it eat me?"
[19:40] * Sheena smiles tiredly "ya dam shame,"
[19:40] Tsukasa: "Or the people in leather jackets. Or the forests they may be hiding mental traps in."
[19:41] Alathon: Venus: "Alright.. someone mentioned some tied up riders?"
[19:41] Alathon: Venus looks around for an explanation.
[19:41] Gerand: "Was that why Sanshi couldn't move all battle?"
[19:41] Alathon: Venus: "Wait.. mental traps?"
[19:41] * Sheena missed the bit about mental knocking as she had other things on her mind.
[19:41] Caoilinn: "Yes. We decided we may as well try questioning some that weren't quite killed."
[19:41] Gerand: "Yeah. I stabilized a rider and Cao tied a few up."
[19:41] Alathon: Venus shakes her head.
[19:42] Alathon: Venus: "Probably isn't worth it.. you won't get much from them. But who knows, maybe you snagged a talkative one."
[19:42] * Tsukasa shakes her head slightly. "The rider that got me seemed to be applying compulsive paralysis against us. He got Kei-san earlier."
[19:42] Caoilinn: "One of the riders we fought had some sort of ability to paralyze people."
[19:42] * Sheena giggles to her self a bit, "I made some dissapear"
[19:42] Gerand: "Cao collapsed shortly into the battle, sanshi did too. I guess it was a mental attack."
[19:42] Caoilinn: "Probably not. But I figured it was worth a try."
[19:42] Alathon: Venus: "Let's save the debriefing for later. And yes, there will be a debriefing."
[19:42] Caoilinn: "Oh, and these Riders said they didn't want to fight and just wanted to go home."
[19:43] Caoilinn: "So I figured they might be different."
[19:43] Alathon: Venus: "I'll go fetch those Riders. The have a stout gallows here."
[19:43] Gerand: "They were also lying through their teeth, and thought we were picking them off before the battle."
[19:43] * Sheena starts to nod off again and leans agsint Renee a bit.
[19:43] Kuonji: "Well, we sort of were..."
[19:43] Alathon: Venus pauses, and starts to say something, then changes her mind, and vanishes in a spray of golden sparklies.
[19:43] Gerand: "NO, they were the same riders that you saw attacked by fire dude remember?"
[19:43] Tsukasa: "I have the suspicion they were talking about whoever slaughtered the main group."
[19:44] Gerand: *no
[19:44] Kuonji: "And remember the guard I killed?"
[19:44] Caoilinn: "Let's hold off on this for now."
[19:44] Alathon: Renee leans into Sheena and whispers something in her ear.
[19:44] Gerand: "I don't think that's what they were talking abou- Oh, Jim was that guy's name?"
[19:44] Kuonji: "Oh... what happened to make them open fire on you anyway? Were you spotted?"
[19:44] Tsukasa: "Agreed. No point briefing Lady Venus before she arrives."
[19:45] Tsukasa: "Well, they were calling 'Jim' through the communicator, so I presume so."
[19:45] Gerand: "Er... that might have been my fault..."
[19:45] * Caoilinn looks over at Renee and Sheena.
[19:45] * Tsukasa sighs. "That... was Gerand's fault. He cast a spell to make us invisible."
[19:45] Caoilinn: "Would you two like a hand getting someplace you can rest?"
[19:45] Gerand: "I sorta... attracted some attention when I cast the invisibility spell."
[19:45] Tsukasa: "Apparently we all forgot his light show."
[19:46] Gerand: "I'm so used to it it slipped my mind."
[19:46] Kuonji: ...
[19:46] * Kuonji just stands there looking rather stunned
[19:46] Alathon: Renee shoots Caoilinn a somewhat irritated look.
[19:46] Gerand: "None of us got shot though. so that turned out okay."
[19:46] Alathon: Renee: "No thank you.. this couch works fine."
[19:46] Gerand: "I think..."
[19:47] * Tsukasa smirks to herself. "Kind of defeats the purpose of an invisibility spell, but... well, we can't really blame him. We've seen him cast spells and forgot the light show."
[19:47] * Sheena mumbers a bit before cracking an eye open to look at the room "Perverts the lot of ya,"
[19:47] * Tsukasa pauses and glances at Gerand. "I take it back."
[19:47] Gerand: "Well, they did have trouble hitting us. so it dd some good. I think."
[19:47] Gerand: "take what back?"
[19:48] Caoilinn: "Huh? You look exhausted and I figured you might want to be someplace without everyone chattering."
[19:48] Tsukasa: "Um... 'Nobody got shot'?"
[19:48] Alathon: Renee smiles at Caoilinn.
[19:48] Gerand: "While we were invisible?"
[19:48] Alathon: Renee: "How thoughtful of you, but, this is just fine."
[19:49] * Tsukasa sighs and shakes her head. "The repercussions of an act last longer than it takes for the act to be completed."
[19:49] Gerand: "You got shot up after you turned visible. Not my fault at all."
[19:49] Gerand: "Well, I did heal you, before you got shot again."
[19:49] Caoilinn: "Guys, let's just relax. Quietly."
[19:50] * Caoilinn takes a seat.
[19:50] * Kuonji shakes his head and looks for somewhere to sit
[19:50] * Sheena pulls herself up a bit, the flops over the other way while yawning
[19:50] Gerand: "Eh. I'm exhausted. I used up all my mana in that battle."
[19:50] * Tsukasa nods and leans back against Sanshi. "It doesn't honestly matter. There's no need to throw recriminations, simply stop it next time."
[19:51] Alathon: Renee: "A little downtime would do you all good. Especially you, Tsukasa.. I can heal your wounds, but I cannot entirely replace that of which your body is deficient -- namely, your blood."
[19:52] Alathon: Renee scootches over to where Venus was sitting, on the other end of the couch from sheena, and leans back against one of the large pillows there.
[19:52] * Tsukasa nods. "I can feel that. I'm going to need a lot of food and water."
[19:52] Gerand: "The room is sorta covered in blood isn't it?"
[19:52] Alathon: Renee: "I, for one, am going to get some rest."
[19:52] * Gerand goes to look for food in the room
[19:52] Tsukasa: "Leave it. It's aesthetic. Or something."
[19:52] Gerand: "Renee, there any food in here?"
[19:52] Alathon: Renee: "To hell with the room.. the carpet is already bloody."
[19:53] Sheena: "Where the hells thats ferret at?"
[19:53] * Sheena tries to feel around in her hair"
[19:53] Gerand: (Any food at all?)
[19:53] Alathon: Renee: "There should be some sandwiches on that platter over there, under the cover.
[19:53] Alathon: Renee points out an ornate platter near where the water was.
[19:54] * Gerand takes the sandwhiches and brings them into the room setting the platter on the table
[19:54] Caoilinn: (At a somewhat metaphysical bar: Yuuno: "So, you're saying this foul sorcerer was enslaving the pigtailed goddess?" Tatewaki: "Indeed.")
[19:54] Sheena: (where is yuuno any way?)
[19:54] Alathon: When someone raises the lid, Yuuno is lying there, stomach slightly distended, looking quite contented.
[19:54] Gerand: "I think we could all do with some food.
[19:54] Sheena: (hah!)
[19:54] * Kuonji blinks
[19:54] Alathon: Yuuno wakes up, and looks around blearily.
[19:54] Sanshi: (Gah. Apparently the Tsukasa window's behind)
[19:54] Alathon: Yuuno: "Huh.. wha?"
[19:54] Gerand: "And I'll have to find it somewhere else..."
[19:54] Kuonji: "So, who's up for ferret sashimi?"
[19:54] Sheena: "Yuuno get over here!"
[19:55] Alathon: Yuuno: "But.. but..!"
[19:55] Gerand: "this place have room service?"
[19:55] Alathon: Yuuno looks left and right, and then decides to scurry under the couch.
[19:55] Alathon: Renee looks up.
[19:55] Alathon: Renee: "Yup.. one sec."
[19:55] * Sheena makes a pouty voice " Yuuunoooo come here."
[19:55] Alathon: Renee flips out her communicator, taps something into it... waits a bit.
[19:56] Tsukasa: (Huh. I never got the chance to answer the 'who was he' one. You guys were posting too fast :P )
[19:56] Alathon: Renee: "Dear, could you whistle up some food in the suite? A couple of Venus' guards came down with a serious case of blood loss."
[19:56] * Sheena giggles a bit, "Better then catching a bad case of dead"
[19:57] Gerand: "And some food for the rest of us Too? Kounji and I are hungry too."
[19:57] Caoilinn: "Or an acute case of lead poisoning."
[19:57] Alathon: The answer isn't loud enough to hear.
[19:57] * Sheena nods off again, Damn that slow engery regain"
[19:57] Alathon: Renee: "Thank you!"
[19:57] Alathon: Renee flips the communicator shut, and pockets it.
[19:57] Gerand: (What is the EP recharge rate anyway?)
[19:57] Tsukasa: "Two out of three isn't bad... Actually, in this case I suppose it is."
[19:57] Alathon: EP recharge is your highest int/wis/cha mod + 1
[19:57] Alathon: per hour
[19:57] Gerand: "Better than three outta three I guess."
[19:57] Sheena: (highest char,wis,int +1)
[19:58] Gerand: (+1) that's 4 ep per hour then. need to change my sheet.)
[19:59] Caoilinn: (highest)
[19:59] Gerand: (yeah)
[19:59] Gerand: "So, this great guy you were With Tsukasa. Who was he?"
[19:59] Caoilinn: (I thought you had a high int/cha)
[19:59] Gerand: (+3 Int and Cha)
[19:59] Caoilinn: (Ah.)
[19:59] Gerand: (Average everything else)
[20:00] Gerand: (+3 dex too)
[20:00] Tsukasa: "A... distant ancestor. Interesting man. Although he said his name was Susan."
[20:00] Gerand: "usan?"
[20:00] Gerand: *Susan
[20:00] Caoilinn: "Susano?"
[20:00] Gerand: "That's a... Manly name..."
[20:01] Tsukasa: "Actually... Although Kei-san raises a point, I'm not sure. He never claimed to be a god, at least."
[20:01] * Tsukasa shrugs.
[20:02] Gerand: "Well something happened to make you dissapear."
[20:02] Tsukasa: "I... Actually, that was my fault."
[20:02] Gerand: "how?"
[20:02] * Gerand is very interested
[20:02] Tsukasa: (... Where's everybody else?)
[20:02] Gerand: (Around)
[20:03] Alathon: Renee and Sheena are both semi-napping on the couch.
[20:03] Tsukasa: "Apparently I hopped out of my body."
[20:03] Gerand: (Kounji's the quiet Ninja boy)
[20:03] Gerand: "And your body went where then?"
[20:03] Caoilinn: "You seemed to take it with you."
[20:04] Tsukasa: "I... think it got dissolved into the atmosphere, actually. Not entirely clear on that."
[20:04] Gerand: "astral projection doesn't make your body vanish... Where'd you go?"
[20:04] Gerand: "besides the restraunt at the end of the universe I mean."
[20:05] * Tsukasa shrugs. "The space between universes."
[20:05] Gerand: (so been waiting to say that since Tsu brought up the bar thing)
[20:05] Caoilinn: "She doesn't seem to know, Gerand."
[20:05] Tsukasa: "Or so Ami told me."
[20:05] Gerand: "could you do it again?"
[20:05] Caoilinn: "Ami?"
[20:05] Gerand: "ami?"
[20:05] * Kuonji blinks again
[20:05] Gerand: "more long dead relatives?"
[20:06] Tsukasa: "... Again, Gerand? I have every intention of practicing, but I'd rather make sure my body can hold up first."
[20:06] Tsukasa: "No, Ami was someone I met out between there."
[20:06] Gerand: 'Really. sounds like an interesting trip."
[20:07] Caoilinn: "Do you think it's something you can do when you're not mortally wounded?"
[20:07] Gerand: "wonder If I can find some way to duplicate it with magic...."
[20:08] Tsukasa: "Yes, I think I can. Now that I've DONE it, I have a bit of a handle on how it was done."
[20:09] * Caoilinn nods.
[20:09] Gerand: "any idea how you did it?
[20:09] Caoilinn: "It sounds interesting."
[20:09] *** Ion has signed off IRC (Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.76 [Firefox 2.0/2006101023]).
[20:09] Tsukasa: "Gerand, even mind-to-mind communication doesn't have the terms to phrase it."
[20:10] Gerand: "hmm... Well, it seems absolutely fascinating."
[20:11] Gerand: "which brings up another question. You were knocking on our team mates minds. Are you a telepath?"
[20:11] * Caoilinn quietly relaxes and just waits for food and Venus.
[20:11] Tsukasa: "No. I AM thought."
[20:12] Gerand: "hmm?"
[20:12] Gerand: "Currently? or in that form?"
[20:13] * Sheena mummbles in her sleep a bit, "yuuuunooooo no that don't go there"
[20:13] * Gerand looks at Sheena oddly.
[20:13] * Tsukasa was about to answer, but has Sheena catch her attention entirely.
[20:13] Kuonji: "... Do... Do I want to know?"
[20:13] Gerand: "I didn't hear anything. did you?"
[20:14] * Gerand is vehemently denying it.
[20:14] Alathon: Something thunks against the wall under the couch, and Yuuno scurries behind a dresser.
[20:14] Tsukasa: roll 6#1d20+5
[20:14] Ala-bot: Tsukasa rolled 6#1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{25}, [ 1d20=12 ]{17}, [ 1d20=9 ]{14}, [ 1d20=17 ]{22}, [ 1d20=2 ]{7}, [ 1d20=2 ]{7}
[20:14] Gerand: (Hmm?)
[20:14] Tsukasa: "Kuonji-kun... No. You don't. I really don't know, and I can tell that much."
[20:15] Gerand: "Moving past that... Disturbing thought, Are you thought now? or only when you poof away?"
[20:16] * Tsukasa pauses.
[20:17] Tsukasa: "Right now, the thing that is 'me', or that is 'you' for that matter, is thought. When I 'poof' away, I just detach that part from the body."
[20:18] Gerand: "and the body goes 'poof'?"
[20:18] Tsukasa: "I'm not sure. I think the body just dissipates into air molecules."
[20:19] Gerand: "right, well that's enough confusing metamagical physics for now. Wonder where the food is?"
[20:20] Tsukasa: (Heh. Give up, mageman? I can only theorize :P )
[20:20] Alathon: The food isn't here yet.
[20:20] Alathon: Neither is Venus, for that matter.
[20:21] Alathon: But you can wait for either or both if you want.
[20:21] Gerand: (yep)
[20:21] Caoilinn: (ff!)
[20:22] Alathon: The food will get there first.
[20:22] Alathon: Two staff members wheel in a cart, which is laden with assorted foods.
[20:22] Alathon: They smell good, and if you eat them they taste good.
[20:22] Alathon: They're horrified at all the blood on the carpet, but don't ask for an explanation, except..
[20:23] Alathon: Staff: "Sirs.. would you like the cleaning crew to attend to .. this.. now, or later?"
[20:23] Caoilinn: ("You're not getting your deposit back.")
[20:23] Gerand: "er... later?"
[20:23] Caoilinn: "Later."
[20:23] * Sanshi remembers that Tsukasa said she needed food, and reaches out to snag as much of it as is feasible.
[20:23] * Gerand wakes Sheena and Renee.
[20:24] * Gerand saves some food from Sanshi
[20:24] * Sheena cracks and eye open and glars at Gerand
[20:24] Gerand: "Food's here."
[20:24] Gerand: "Renee said you need to eat."
[20:24] * Tsukasa chuckles. "Leave a bit for the others, Sanshi. Have some for yourself, though."
[20:24] Sheena: "meh, damn lighting punks"
[20:25] * Kuonji picks at some of the food
[20:25] * Caoilinn has something to eat.
[20:25] * Tsukasa takes the first bit and digs in. Then starts inhaling it.
[20:25] * Sheena grabs something that looks like food and a bottle of whatever before heading back to her spot.
[20:25] * Gerand grabs some food for himself, and passes the platter to Sheena so she need not get up.
[20:25] Alathon: The staff will leave you with the food.
[20:25] Kuonji: "I miss mom's okonomiyaki."
[20:27] Caoilinn: "I miss showers."
[20:27] Gerand: "I miss my books."
[20:27] Tsukasa: "I miss not getting shot."
[20:27] Kuonji: (Tsukasa: I miss about 6 pints of blood)
[20:27] Alathon: Yuuno peeks out from behind the dresser.
[20:27] Gerand: "you would."
[20:27] Alathon: Yuuno: "I miss my doujinshi..."
[20:28] Tsukasa: "Still, on the whole it was a worthwhile experience."
[20:28] Gerand: "You perverted food thief!"
[20:28] Alathon: Yuuno: "Who's a thief!?"
[20:28] * Sheena "Not getting shot is nice. But im so hitting the hottub when we get back"
[20:28] Gerand: "you!"
[20:28] Tsukasa: "Not one I care to REPEAT, no matter how many other fascinating individuals may be in my ancestry."
[20:28] Caoilinn: "Say, Gerand, what was with alternately shouting to the Riders that you never did anything to them and that they were cowards back in the battle?"
[20:28] Alathon: Yuuno: "Hey! I didn't steal a darned thing, they were leftovers."
[20:28] * Sheena finshs off her snack and lays back on the couch, " I wouldnt let him pack em,"
[20:29] Tsukasa: "I think he was complaining about getting shot at."
[20:29] Tsukasa: "And then, um, trying to convince them to shoot him?"
[20:29] Gerand: "er... Tsukasa's right. I guess I wanted them to stand still out in the open and not shoot at me."
[20:30] Caoilinn: "So ... it was just a ploy to confuse them?"
[20:30] Tsukasa: "..."
[20:30] Gerand: "I was also trying to draw fire away from Sheena and Tsukasa. Since I had stoneskin armor."
[20:30] Alathon: Yuuno sniffs.
[20:30] * Tsukasa 's eyes widen. "I... see."
[20:30] Gerand: "I figured I could take being shot at."
[20:30] Gerand: "doesn't mean I enjoy being shot at though."
[20:31] Gerand: "which is Why I was complaining."
[20:31] Gerand: "damn but getting shot at stings!"
[20:31] Alathon: Yuuno: "I miss my Threes Company..."
[20:31] Gerand: (I'll three's company you!"
[20:31] Gerand: *)
[20:32] * Sheena reachs around to try and snag yuuno
[20:32] Alathon: ((to anyone who has ever looked into naughty doujinshi, you'd recognize the name -- Three's Company is a well known story about the friendship of a young college student and two long-haired teenage girls, one blonde, one dark haired.))
[20:32] Gerand: "not that it worked. Next time I'll cast protection from Arrows on Tsukasa or something first."
[20:33] Gerand: (It's not a sitcom?)
[20:33] * Tsukasa pauses, blushes, and looks at the ferret. "No matter how innocently I attempt to take your nature, you make it very difficult." (Doesn't recognize the name, just guessing)
[20:33] Sheena: ((oh good, i was worried about him watching oldies)
[20:33] Sheena: (~Theres a knock on my door~)
[20:33] Alathon: ((the plot is ostensibly one of their deep friendship occasionally turning into 2 or 3 person relationships.. it's generaly pretty thin, just an excuse for some serious smut))
[20:34] Gerand: "well he only denied being a thief when I called him a perverted Food thief."
[20:34] Alathon: ((betrayals for sex in secret, reconciliations for make-up sex))
[20:34] * Sheena pouts again "Yuuunoooo"
[20:34] Tsukasa: "Well, if he isn't a thief, he's not a perverted thief."
[20:34] Alathon: Yuuno: "There's nothing perverted about Three's Company, it's a lovely story of enduring friendship!"
[20:34] Alathon: Yuuno is scrambling around the room now.
[20:34] * Tsukasa actually believes him.
[20:35] Alathon: Yuuno: "Just ask Sheena, she's read them!"
[20:35] Gerand: "And... enduring friendship is code for what? Rampant sex?"
[20:35] Alathon: Yuuno DIVES under a dresser.
[20:35] Gerand: "you know... they do say that owners and pets become more similar over time..."
[20:36] * Sheena holds up her tits
[20:36] Sheena: "So yuuno's going to grow a big tits?"
[20:36] Tsukasa: "I'm not sure with which it originated."
[20:36] Gerand: "I think they meant personality-wise?
[20:36] Caoilinn: (Does Sheena have a large chest?)
[20:36] Sheena: (yes in deed)
[20:37] Sheena: (but she still falls short of your guy mag x3)
[20:37] Caoilinn: (That doesn't make sense, and I don't have 3 ranks of it.)
[20:37] Sheena: (how else could she hold yuuno down there?)
[20:37] Gerand: "I could give Yuuno a pair of 'large tits' if you want though."
[20:37] Sheena: (you dont? Your just lucky then?)
[20:37] Alathon: Venus BAMFs into the room, carrying two packages.
[20:38] Sanshi: "That make him really hard to throw, though!"
[20:38] Sheena: "Ya sanshi's right, No tits for yuuno"
[20:38] Gerand: "Easier to catch though.."
[20:38] Tsukasa: "Ah, welcome back Milady."
[20:38] * Sheena yawns and leans back again.
[20:38] Alathon: On examination, each package is a Harleyrider, with their arms and legs twisted behind their backs and handcuffed crosswise, left arm to right leg, etc. Venus carries them by the chains, like suitcases.
[20:38] Alathon: Both appear to be unconscious, and alive.
[20:38] Gerand: "wow. that's really ergonomic of you lady Venus!"
[20:39] * Caoilinn looks relieved that Venus is back.
[20:39] Tsukasa: "That looks strangely uncomfortable."
[20:39] Gerand: "You want some food?"
[20:39] * Gerand gestures to the food.
[20:39] Alathon: Venus snorts.
[20:39] Alathon: Venus: "All their ills'll be cured soon enough."
[20:40] Alathon: Venus: "And, yes, thank you."
[20:40] * Gerand hands the platter to Venus
[20:40] Tsukasa: "Oh, I didn't mean to phrase it as a complaint."
[20:40] Alathon: Venus drops the riders on the blood carpet and scores some food.
[20:40] Tsukasa: "He SHOT me. Make him uncomfortable."
[20:40] Gerand: "You sure that one did it? they all sorta look the same don't they?"
[20:40] Alathon: Venus, in between bites: "You shot him too, right?"
[20:41] * Sheena takes notes on proper handling of packages for future refernce"
[20:41] Tsukasa: "No, he's alive."
[20:41] Sheena: "I took care of that guy who shot ya tsuka, wasn't even ash left"
[20:42] Tsukasa: "Most of the ones that lasted long enough to get knocked out instead of killed lasted long enough to take potshots at me."
[20:42] Gerand: "A lot of guys shot her."
[20:42] * Tsukasa smiles. "Yes, I saw that. Thank you."
[20:42] Gerand: "Wonder what happened to they guys I wrapped in tentacles?"
[20:43] Tsukasa: "They mostly escaped and got killed, didn't they?"
[20:43] Alathon: ((they all escaped and got kilt sooner or later))
[20:43] Gerand: I guess.
[20:44] Alathon: Venus finishes with a couple sandwiches, chugs a glass of water, and sits down.
[20:45] Alathon: She then stands up.
[20:45] Alathon: Venus: "Hell.. better deal with this garbage first.
[20:45] Alathon: Venus: "If you wanna ask them questions, now's the time.. once we're done, I'll hand 'em over to the Deputies."
[20:46] * Gerand quiets down and makes himself scarce
[20:47] * Tsukasa frowns and glows red again, staring consideringly at the Riders.
[20:47] * Caoilinn thinks.
[20:47] Alathon: Looking at them, you're reminded of a fact that was fairly obvious, but not important during the fight: All the riders were in their thirties at the youngest, and they tended to be more in their forties.
[20:47] Caoilinn: (They're conscious?)
[20:47] Caoilinn: (And were they all male?)
[20:47] Alathon: Both are on the older side, with greying hair. One is bearded.
[20:47] Alathon: All were male, neither are conscious at this time.
[20:47] Kuonji: "Come to think of it, there is one little minor thing I want to know."
[20:48] Kuonji: "What's with the tears on the back of the jackets? They all have them, like something as torn off."
[20:48] Caoilinn: "Ma'am, did you say that no one's ever gotten any useful information out of them?"
[20:48] Alathon: Venus: "Hm. Useful information, no."
[20:49] Alathon: Venus: "They won't speak willingly, and unwillingly.. well, that doesn't generate much in the way of accurate information, regardless."
[20:49] Tsukasa: "Unit patches? The jackets may be ex-military equipment."
[20:49] Gerand: "Maybe they have something that might be useful to us? We should search them for more of those 'Cell' Things."
[20:49] Caoilinn: "That seems incredibly suspicious to me, considering the sort of interrogation they know must be awaiting them."
[20:50] Alathon: Venus: "As for the patches... I'm curious about that myself. I asked around, and "Harleyriders" is an Old World reference to a brand of motorcycle. Gangs of motorcycle riders often wore patches to declare their allegiance."
[20:50] Alathon: Venus: "So many bikers missing patches is odd, to say the least."
[20:50] Gerand: "hmm."
[20:50] Alathon: Venus looks at Caoilinn.
[20:50] Caoilinn: "I can't imagine many groups, especially one like theirs having *no* members breaking under questioning or threat of torture..."
[20:50] Alathon: Venus: "Don't underestimate humanity's willingness to spend the last moments of their life spitefully."
[20:51] Sheena: "Mabie there kicked out of normal groups?"
[20:51] Caoilinn: "Few, yes... but not a *single* one?"
[20:51] Alathon: Venus: "That'd be a logical conclusion, but What groups?"
[20:51] * Gerand thinks to himself, that's why mind reading was invented.
[20:51] Caoilinn: "Maybe I'm being overly suspicious, but it sounds to me like they might be under

Session #15 - Part 2
[20:51] Caoilinn: "Maybe I'm being overly suspicious, but it sounds to me like they might be under some sort of mental control."
[20:52] Sheena: "Duno, where are there familes? Children? Ladies? Must be some place"
[20:52] Alathon: Venus: "Not that I know of. Not according to the Deputies I've spoken to, or the Militia captains, or anybody else who's had a Harleyrider captive that I know of."
[20:52] Alathon: Venus: "That's certainly a possibility."
[20:52] Caoilinn: "Is there any way we could verify it? And maybe counter it if it is true?"
[20:52] * Tsukasa pauses, thinks to herself, then suddenly vanishes, leaving the towel to fall to the ground.
[20:53] Alathon: Venus, to Sheena: "Also a good question. They've been around for more than just a few years, so unless they've got some other means of reproducing, they should have women somewhere."
[20:53] Caoilinn: "Mm. They could be outcasts from other bands."
[20:53] Alathon: Venus: "Well, i --"
[20:53] Alathon: Venus snaps around to face where Tsukasa was.
[20:53] Kuonji: "What the hell? Again?"
[20:54] Gerand: "She said she became Thought when she did that. IS she trying to read their minds?"
[20:54] Gerand: "I thought we were clear on not doing that after last time?"
[20:54] Sheena: "I take it we are going to see a naked Tsuka rather often?"
[20:55] Gerand: "I'm not certain I mind that."
[20:55] Sheena: "And gerand, shut up. You don't have a clue as to what she is doing"
[20:55] Gerand: "I was talking to her whiole you were asleep."
[20:55] Sheena: "Poor girl,"
[20:55] Tsukasa: roll 1d20+2
[20:56] Ala-bot: Tsukasa rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{15}
[20:56] * Kuonji stifles a snicker
[20:56] * Sheena nods off a bit before snaping back awake.
[20:56] Alathon: One of the riders stiffens, then thrashes a bit.
[20:56] Sheena: "bah, way to tired to traid insults"
[20:56] Gerand: "yeah... taht's not normal."
[20:56] *** Sheena has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).
[20:56] *** Sheena has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[20:57] Caoilinn: "Tsukasa?"
[20:57] Sheena: (oh oww, that was me this time, What i miss?)
[20:57] Gerand: "that looks rather coincidental."
[20:57] Caoilinn: (Nothing)
[20:58] Alathon: Venus sucks in a breath, but doesn't do anything.
[20:58] Alathon: Renee has apparently dozed off, and does nothing.
[20:58] * Sheena is about to doze off again, all so does nothing
[20:59] * Gerand is out of Mana so also does nothing.
[21:00] * Caoilinn watches intently and waits.
[21:00] * Kuonji is considering carrying around a blankent from now on for whenever Tsukasa goes on one of these trips and comes back naked
[21:00] Kuonji: (*blanket)
[21:01] Gerand: (Do I know anything about what might be happening? Knowledge arcane?)
[21:02] Alathon: You don't need any knowledge check to suspect that Tsukasa, having stated she's telepathic when invisible, is going after the rider's mind.
[21:02] Alathon: having vanished, and the rider convulsing.
[21:02] Gerand: (thought not, just checking)
[21:02] * Caoilinn glances at Venus.
[21:02] Alathon: Venus looks down at the Rider, her face unreadable.
[21:03] * Gerand hopes Tsukasa won't get in trouble for that.
[21:04] Sheena: "Well, if they are mind controlled, And tsuka finds whats doing that, Would she be fighting it with no back up?"
[21:05] Gerand: "possibly."
[21:06] Kuonji: "Lovely."
[21:08] Gerand: "if she's gone totally into his mind that could leave her vulnerable. I really don't know enough about how Tsukasa's power works to say for sure though. It leaves her a loty more vulnerable than my way. A lot more invasive too it looks like."
[21:08] Sheena: "hmm, Hey sanshi, why dont you go help mommie?"
[21:08] Gerand: "i hope she's okay."
[21:09] Alathon: Venus, quietly: "I can't be certain, given that I don't know for certain the scope of Tsukasa's powers, but it's unlikely she's in any immediate danger. At least, not from the rider.. physical beatings take a toll when it comes to resisting this sort of... thing."
[21:09] Alathon: She says "thing" with disgust.
[21:10] * Kuonji is suddenly feeling very nervous for Tsukasa
[21:10] * Gerand is VERY Glad he asked first before doing this last time)
[21:11] Sheena: (hmm?)
[21:12] Caoilinn: (He asked if he could cast a spell to read our prisoner's mind back in the town.)
[21:13] Caoilinn: (I told him no. :) )
[21:13] Gerand: "This, this is unlike anything I've ever read about."
[21:15] Gerand: roll 1d20 for connectivity
[21:15] Ala-bot: Gerand rolled 1d20 for connectivity --> [ 1d20=7 ]{7}
[21:15] Gerand: (So everyone is just really quiet?)
[21:15] Alathon: ((sorry for the lull, but Tsukasa has a lot to do))
[21:15] Caoilinn: (Not much to say right now.)
[21:15] Caoilinn: (Not really a babble moment.)
[21:15] Gerand: (Might as well get some food for the rest of us then)
[21:16] Gerand: (Take a break)
[21:16] Sheena: (reloading my drink)
[21:16] Caoilinn: (And, what? Alathon & Pale don't get one?)
[21:16] Sheena: (heh, ill be 1min,)
[21:17] Kuonji: (bleh, I hate centipedes)
[21:17] Caoilinn: (The legs get caught in your teeth?)
[21:19] Kuonji: (I just had to kill one... they're icky >_<)
[21:19] Caoilinn: (Why did you have to kill one?)
[21:19] Sheena: (iit attacked him)
[21:19] Alathon: yeah, if you need food, or to take a leak, nows the time
[21:19] Caoilinn: (Don't worry... You get at least a +4 to your saves.)
[21:20] Kuonji: (god I hate bugs)
[21:21] Kuonji: >_>
[21:21] Kuonji: ((Link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3APJA0EedSE)http://youtube.com/watch?v=3APJA0EedSE)
[21:21] Tsukasa: (Blah. Doesn't help that my connection is being a bitch of some kind)
[21:26] Caoilinn: (A pale wolf is my guess.)
[21:27] *** Ala-bot has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[21:28] Gerand: (the bot can time ourt?)
[21:28] Caoilinn: (No.)
[21:28] *** Ala-bot has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[21:29] * Gerand starts hummong Another Brink in the wall Prt 2.
[21:30] Gerand: *Humming
[21:30] Gerand: (We don't need no thought control...)
[21:30] Gerand: *Brick
[21:33] Tsukasa: A sweatdrop forms on the Harleyrider's brow.
[21:34] Caoilinn: (He must be embarrassed!)
[21:34] Tsukasa: (No, I am)
[21:34] Caoilinn: (Stay out of *those* thoughts, pervert!)
[21:35] Tsukasa: (Believe it or not, I am. I just saw something severely WTF)
[21:35] Caoilinn: (Him trying on his new pink sundress?)
[21:41] Kuonji: (am I still on?)
[21:41] Caoilinn: (No.)
[21:42] Sanshi: (Yes, although my other window hasn't even recieved your message yet...)
[21:43] Alathon: anyways we're finishing up
[21:43] Tsukasa: (And now I'm just waiting for all that little conversation to arrive over here...)
[21:45] Tsukasa: (Well, now I have to wonder if Al sent anything to me, since this window is sucking hard)
[21:46] Alathon: uh
[21:46] Alathon: [21:42] Alathon: He was naturally both disowned and outcast.
[21:46] Alathon: last line
[21:46] Sanshi: (Have yet to recieve it.)
[21:47] *** Tsukasa has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[21:47] *** Tsukasa has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[21:47] Sheena: cant read that even highlighted
[21:47] Alathon: well, good ;p
[21:48] Caoilinn: (So, I shouldn't quote it for him? :) )
[21:48] Kuonji: (heh)
[21:50] Tsukasa: roll 1d20+5
[21:50] Ala-bot: Tsukasa rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{17}
[21:50] Alathon: Tsukasa appears, wearing a what amounts to a sack of rough fabric.
[21:50] Alathon: Venus: "Well?"
[21:51] Tsukasa: "There's... Quite a lot."
[21:51] * Tsukasa pauses and looks down. "And... am I?"
[21:51] * Tsukasa blinks. Then she blinks again.
[21:51] Gerand: "You aren't naked."
[21:51] Kuonji: "Gerand is dissapointed."
[21:51] * Sheena smiles that tsuka is back and starts to nod off again
[21:52] * Sanshi blinks and nuzzles Tsukasa's hand, pushing her over.
[21:52] Sanshi: "Mommy's standing?"
[21:52] * Tsukasa chuckles to herself, starting to smile. "Was standing."
[21:53] Alathon: Venus: "Go on."
[21:53] Kuonji: "So, what happened?"
[21:53] Caoilinn: (What's Venus's tone of voice, btw?)
[21:53] Tsukasa: (Oh, come on, nobody's surprised that the cripple's standing?)
[21:53] Sheena: ( i wonder)
[21:53] Alathon: ((Hard))
[21:54] Alathon: The rider who was twitching before has quit twitching, btw, and is still.
[21:54] * Kuonji blinks... "Were you standing just now?"
[21:54] Caoilinn: (Well, it's obvious that after mind-raping the Harleyrider, she stole his life energy to heal her legs.)
[21:54] * Tsukasa grins at him. "Yes. I was!"
[21:54] Kuonji: (Venus promptly executes)
[21:54] * Tsukasa pauses and takes Sanshi's arm, successfully pulling herself onto her feet, although stumbling.
[21:55] Tsukasa: "And I wasn't deluding myself either."
[21:56] * Tsukasa giggles to herself, and hugs Sanshi.
[21:56] * Caoilinn checks the Harleyrider for signs of life.
[21:56] Sheena: "Hey... Whats the story all ready? Im starting to pass out again."
[21:57] Gerand: "enough of the miricales of your standing. What did you get from teh harley rider?"
[21:57] * Tsukasa calms down slightly, although she's still having trouble holding down her grin. "He's not a Harleyrider, just a filthy Yamaha."
[21:58] Sheena: (and no one gets it)
[21:58] Tsukasa: (That's why I'm waiting for you to ask)
[21:58] Gerand: "right. information?"
[21:58] Sheena: "ok ill bite, whats a yamaha?"
[21:58] Caoilinn: (*checks Alathon for signs of life.)
[21:59] Tsukasa: (There are no signs of life :P )
[21:59] Tsukasa: "It's... something like a fake. A knockoff of the real thing, a cheap imitation."
[21:59] Alathon: ((I'm here))
[21:59] Gerand: "And did you gain anything important?"
[21:59] Caoilinn: (Ok. Just wanted to make sure you hadn't gotten disconnected. Is the Harleyrider alive?)
[21:59] Alathon: Venus is paying attention, but does not comment.
[21:59] Gerand: "something worth doing what you did?"
[22:00] Caoilinn: (*checked a while back.)
[22:00] Alathon: Now that you look at the rider.. he's not breathing.
[22:00] Tsukasa: "In this case it basically means he's a cast out Harleyrider. A coward, criminal, traitor, who was exiled."
[22:00] Caoilinn: "He's dead."
[22:00] * Caoilinn sits back down, frowning.
[22:00] * Gerand frowns.
[22:00] Tsukasa: "They organize into bands and apparently try to get by through raiding."
[22:01] Sheena: "meh, would have died any way,"
[22:01] Tsukasa: "The real Harleyriders are... Actually more analogous to the Crimson Guards, or us."
[22:01] Gerand: "oh?"
[22:01] Gerand: "they work for a government then?"
[22:02] Tsukasa: "They're part of the Alliance of Free States. They work directly for the towns."
[22:02] Tsukasa: "Every town has a chapter of Harleyriders."
[22:03] Gerand: "Oh?"
[22:03] Kuonji: "Why hasn't anyone mentioned this?"
[22:03] Caoilinn: "Because only the so-called Harleyriders know."
[22:03] Tsukasa: "The Nevadans don't know - the AFS is on the other side of the Rocky Mountains."
[22:03] * Caoilinn still doesn't look happy.
[22:03] Tsukasa: "The Yamahas don't bother - telling people their history just gets them more hated."
[22:04] Gerand: and the attacks?
[22:04] Gerand: "and the attacks?"
[22:04] Tsukasa: "The general attacks are your typical raiding thing. Presumably for resources and food, mainly - they're cast out with nothing but their equipment."
[22:05] Gerand: "and on the Yamahas?"
[22:05] Alathon: Venus: "I believe she means that the riders we've titled Harleyriders, are known within their society as Yamahas."
[22:06] Alathon: Venus: "Please, continue."
[22:06] * Tsukasa nods. "Yes Milady."
[22:06] Tsukasa: "This 'alliance' is harder to tell on. As far as he knew, a few of the tougher Yamaha chapter heads got together, decided a serious push would be worthwhile, and cowed the rest of the chapters into line."
[22:07] Tsukasa: "If there's anything deeper going on, he didn't know it."
[22:07] Sheena: "Just what did ya do any way?"
[22:07] Sheena: "and the sack..."
[22:07] * Sheena frowns at that.
[22:07] Kuonji: "Did he know anything about the attack?"
[22:07] Gerand: "and teh legs?"
[22:08] Kuonji: "The one they were recovering from when we found them?"
[22:08] * Tsukasa pauses for a second. "Let me take that in order."
[22:09] Gerand: (hmm?)
[22:10] Tsukasa: "He knew nothing about the attack. All he knew was that a man on fire with a wild red beard and no shirt attacked them, attacked, killed whoever fought back, then ran east after a lengthy fight - that IS in the direction of the AFS, but it's impossible to tell whether there's any relation."
[22:11] Gerand: "I see."
[22:11] Tsukasa: "Okay, Jim's raid was apparently just 'fun'." She spits that word out.
[22:12] * Tsukasa glances at the sack. "Not exactly the height of fashion, but I basically made it out of the air."
[22:13] Tsukasa: "As to what I did... I basically looked through his memories. I was... pretty sure I could... well... But I didn't want to."
[22:14] Gerand: "and your Legs?"
[22:15] Tsukasa: "I... think I managed to modify just what I made when I made my body again."
[22:15] Kuonji: (JESUS)
[22:15] Tsukasa: (Jesus?)
[22:15] * Sheena yawns
[22:15] Tsukasa: (Ah, that brings to mind the WTF moment in there... :) )
[22:15] Sheena: "well i hope you didnt forget any parts,"
[22:15] Gerand: "impressive."
[22:16] Kuonji: (it's 1:17am... and a bunch of assholes on REALLY loud motorcycles are driving up and down the street)
[22:16] * Sheena leans back and falls asleep again
[22:16] Tsukasa: (Shoot the filthy Yamahas!)
[22:16] Alathon: ((it just wouldn't be as fun if people weren't asleep to wake up))
[22:16] * Gerand looks at Venus to see what she thinks.
[22:16] Kuonji: (looks like they're gone now... fuckers)
[22:16] * Tsukasa pats her legs down, wobbling slightly. "I'll find out sooner or later. They're still better off than they used to be."
[22:16] Alathon: Venus' expression is unreadable.
[22:16] Sheena: ( a harly race useing yamaha as an insult, thats an lol)
[22:16] Caoilinn: (You need some caltrops.)
[22:17] Kuonji: (make me more :P)
[22:17] Gerand: "lady Venus?"
[22:18] * Tsukasa glances at Venus, sobering a little more.
[22:18] Kuonji: (dun, dun, DUNNNNN)
[22:19] Alathon: Venus: "What."
[22:19] Alathon: Venus: "I'd like to hear the rest of what Tsukasa has to say."
[22:19] * Gerand sobers and asks "Do you have any questions?"
[22:20] * Tsukasa nods. "There was... also a good bit of information on other nations - we were looking for diplomatic partners, right?"
[22:20] Alathon: Venus: "Yes.. continue."
[22:20] * Caoilinn supresses a sigh and shakes her head slightly at Gerand asking Venus if she wants to ask Tsukasa any questions.
[22:20] * Gerand shrinks away and is now VERY Glad he wasn't allowed to cast that spell.
[22:21] Sheena: (are you rping an idoit or is this normal?)
[22:21] Gerand: (he changed his mind about what he was going to ask)
[22:21] Tsukasa: "All right. There is the Alliance of Free States. They are a good deal more 'together' than the Nevada government, so far as I can tell - they've been holding together under a war quite effectively."
[22:21] * Caoilinn has a stony expression, herself.
[22:22] Gerand: (Venus intimidated the shit outta him)
[22:22] Gerand: "a war?"
[22:22] Tsukasa: "Yes... With the United States of Texas to the south."
[22:23] Tsukasa: "I can't comment on that nation's inner workings, however his main impression of the UTS was... '"Blood and Souls! Blood and Souls for the LORD!"'."
[22:23] Kuonji: (...HAHAHAHA)
[22:23] Tsukasa: (Now you see why I sweatdropped)
[22:23] Gerand: (More Blood for teh Blood God!)
[22:23] Caoilinn: (So, it hasn't changed much, huh?)
[22:23] Alathon: ((if anything, they're more honest about what the score is ;p ))
[22:23] Gerand: (UTS? Not UST?)
[22:24] Tsukasa: (... My typo)
[22:24] Gerand: (Cause we all know Texas is full of UST)
[22:24] Caoilinn: (Should be Jesus's United States of Texas -- The JUST!)
[22:24] Alathon: ((It would be, except that.. well.. we'll get to that later))
[22:25] Tsukasa: (Heh. I'll have to raid a Texan and see about their religion :P )
[22:25] Gerand: "Perhaps, The UST might not be a great diplomatic partner... Are tehre any other countries you found out about?"
[22:26] Tsukasa: "The Confederacy. He... never thought exactly what they were the Confederacy _of_, but it's apparently a vassal state to the UST."
[22:26] Caoilinn: (Do it in front of Venus and you may get some questions about your own religion answered. :) )
[22:27] Gerand: (Like what's the afterlife like)
[22:27] Tsukasa: "The main option seems to be the AFS, to be truthful. They're socially relatively stable, perhaps a touch _more_ compatible with Crystal Tokyo then Nevada, apparently quite coherent with their government..."
[22:28] Tsukasa: "That's only my impression, of course. And his."
[22:28] Gerand: "why did the, did you call him a Yamaha? Die when you did, whatever you did?"
[22:29] Tsukasa: "I... triggered an aneurism."
[22:29] Tsukasa: "I'm... I think I can do a lot more, but I don't really want to experiment..."
[22:30] Caoilinn: "On purpose?"
[22:30] Gerand: "on purpose?"
[22:30] Tsukasa: "Yes, on purpose. He was going to be executed regardless, I thought it less self-delusional to kill him myself than hand him over to someone else to do it."
[22:31] Gerand: (that's not gonna go over well with venus.)
[22:31] Gerand: (not at all.)
[22:32] * Caoilinn frowns.
[22:32] Sheena: (this is the venus that tied em into handbags for easy lifing..)
[22:32] Gerand: (yeah, but this same venus was gonna give em to the authorities. and Add to that it's a mind rape thing.)
[22:33] * Gerand fall silent.
[22:33] * Gerand looks at Venus again.
[22:33] * Sheena snores a bit
[22:34] Alathon: Venus is just looking at Tsukasa, waiting for her to continue.
[22:34] Tsukasa: "I... don't believe there is much else, Milady."
[22:34] Caoilinn: (Venus: "Stop looking at me.")
[22:34] * Gerand looks at Caoilinn
[22:35] Alathon: Venus: "Do you know where they're getting their gasoline from?"
[22:35] Tsukasa: "I..." Tsukasa pauses and curses to herself. "I apologize. I didn't think to check that."
[22:36] Gerand: (yep. You're doomed.)
[22:36] Alathon: Venus: "That's okay. Was he aware of any other 'Yamaha' bands operating in the area?"
[22:37] Tsukasa: "This particular one was apparently planning to head back east... Nothing came up on other bands nearby."
[22:37] * Tsukasa winces to herself.
[22:38] Alathon: Venus: "Understood."
[22:39] Alathon: Venus pauses for a moment, as if thinking to herself.
[22:39] Tsukasa: (Advantage of going without pre-approval: 'Tis easier to ask forgiveness than permission'. Disadvantage: can't get the list of questions they want answered.)
[22:39] Alathon: Venus: "I have some business to attend to.. I'll be back in an hour, tops."
[22:39] Alathon: Venus looks around the room.
[22:39] Alathon: Venus: "Anything you need before I go?"
[22:39] Caoilinn: (Another disadvantage: You can get punished for it, too.)
[22:39] Sheena: (the other guy on the ground)
[22:39] Gerand: (We need guns. Lots of guns)
[22:40] * Caoilinn thinks.
[22:40] Caoilinn: "Not that I can think of."
[22:40] Tsukasa: (Hey, don't tell her to take him! I could get the other answers!)
[22:40] Caoilinn: (You do that.)
[22:40] Kuonji: (I have a handcannon, if anyone is actually strong enough to use it)
[22:40] Tsukasa: (Then I'll be gone for the rest of the day, though Tsukasa doesn't know that :P )
[22:41] Alathon: Venus nods.. and vanishes into a teleport.
[22:41] Gerand: (So do I)
[22:41] * Caoilinn looks at Tsukasa.
[22:41] Alathon: At this point, Renee stands up, and heads for the door.
[22:41] Caoilinn: "Was there any sign of mind control?"
[22:42] * Tsukasa collapses back down to the floor, using Sanshi as a backrest.
[22:43] Gerand: "New legs not working right?"
[22:43] * Tsukasa shakes her head. "Not that I was aware of. No other entities in there. They could have been modified - _I_... But I'm not skilled enough at this yet to tell."
[22:43] * Caoilinn nods.
[22:43] Kuonji: "Think you'll get in trouble for this?"
[22:43] Alathon: Renee leaves the room, closing the door behind her.
[22:44] * Tsukasa pauses to LOOK at Gerand. "Do something that might tick off Lady Venus. Stand in her presence afterward. THEN ask me again."
[22:44] * Tsukasa winces. "I... don't know."
[22:44] Alathon: The other harleyrider has been gagged, but will start making some noises soon.
[22:44] Kuonji: "Gerand, were you born with your foot in your mouth?"
[22:45] Alathon: Around this time, room service arrives to clean up the meal they delivered earlier.
[22:45] Caoilinn: (Do they take the body, too? :) )
[22:45] Gerand: "Quite possibly. I haven't had to deal with people often.. I mostly just read about magic. My, people skills aren't the best."
[22:45] Alathon: Staff: "Um.. should we call the Deputies?"
[22:45] Tsukasa: (Oh, this's gonna be awesome)
[22:46] Alathon: The Staff are a little skittish, even though the riders are obviously trussed up.
[22:46] Gerand: "no. Just dispose of the body."
[22:46] Caoilinn: "Not yet, thank you."
[22:46] Gerand: "Leave the live one where it is."
[22:46] * Tsukasa glances at Gerand. "You are asking normal hotel staff to dispose of a Yamaha corpse?"
[22:46] Alathon: The staff member looks from Caoilinn to Gerand, trying to decide which to do.
[22:46] Caoilinn: "I doubt disposing of bodies falls within their duties."
[22:46] Gerand: "Well, we can't exactly stick it in the garbage now can we?"
[22:47] Caoilinn: "We'll be turning them over to the deputies, but not just yet."
[22:47] Gerand: "Eh, I'll search the dead guy. He might have something worth looking into.
[22:48] Gerand: roll 1d20+9 spot check looting the corpse
[22:48] Ala-bot: Gerand rolled 1d20+9 spot check looting the corpse --> [ 1d20=4 ]{13}
[22:48] Alathon: The staff avoid further questions, and clean up the leftovers of the meal as quickly as possible, and leave.
[22:48] Alathon: roll 2d8
[22:48] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2d8 --> [ 2d8=9 ]{9}
[22:48] Alathon: Nine double dollars.
[22:48] Tsukasa: (I'll assume you looted the corpse AFTER the staff left)
[22:48] Gerand: (NOPE!)
[22:48] Kuonji: (err I thought search was... well, search, not spot)
[22:48] Tsukasa: (Ah yes. Gerand)
[22:49] Sheena: (again i ask, is that rp or are you really an iodit? Your lucky sheena is passed out)
[22:49] * Gerand takes 20 looting the corpse looking in the jacket seams and everything. being very thorough and taking any weapons/chains that he might have
[22:50] Gerand: (it's RP)
[22:50] Alathon: At this point, there's a soft 'pfft' and three figures appear in the room, while Gerand is rifling through the dead Yamaha's belongings.
[22:50] Gerand: (He has bad people skills. at least he waited till venus left)
[22:50] Alathon: They're immediately recognizeable as Sailors Venus, Mars, and Pluto.
[22:50] Kuonji: (dun dun DUNNN)
[22:50] Gerand: (And He's so fucked)
[22:50] Caoilinn: (With his take 20, he may well be stripping it. :D )
[22:51] Gerand: (So not stripping the pants off)
[22:51] * Tsukasa blinks to herself, and tries to leap up to attention. She fails and knocks herself over again.
[22:51] Alathon: Venus takes a LOOK at what Gerand is doing, but decides it's too stupid to deal with right now.
[22:51] * Tsukasa stands up more cautiously in her second attemp.
[22:51] * Caoilinn stands up and bows.
[22:51] * Sheena cracks open an eye at Gerands loudness and catching the incoing pfft
[22:51] Alathon: Venus nods politely to Caoilinn.
[22:51] * Kuonji bows
[22:51] Alathon: Venus nods to Kuonji as well.
[22:51] * Gerand notices and politely stops his looting
[22:51] Alathon: Mars: "Tsukasa Kuno?"
[22:51] * Sheena Halls herself up and tiredly stands and bows.
[22:52] Alathon: Venus nods to Sheena as well.
[22:52] * Tsukasa winces and nods. "Yes Milady."
[22:52] * Kuonji breaks into a slight nervous sweat
[22:52] * Gerand looks down ashamedly
[22:52] Alathon: Venus: "We'll be heading back to Crystal Tokyo."
[22:53] Gerand: (SO FUCKED!)
[22:53] Alathon: Note that only Pluto has any sort of weapon hand, and her Key Staff is at her side, at rest.
[22:53] * Sheena thinks on that for a moment
[22:53] Sheena: "All of us?"
[22:53] Kuonji: (time to start rolling another charachter pale...)
[22:53] Alathon: Venus nods.
[22:53] Alathon: BAMFs... sparklies.. disorientation...
[22:53] Sheena: "We left out bags and suplies at the town we where guarding"
[22:53] Caoilinn: "Should we leave instructions to have the deputies take possession of the riders before we go?"
[22:53] Sheena: (or not)
[22:54] Alathon: Sheena says this on the other side, as does Caoilinn.
[22:54] Gerand: "wow. that was sudden."
[22:54] Sheena: "I'll never get used to that"
[22:54] Kuonji: "That... Takes some getting used to, I must admit."
[22:54] * Gerand blinks trying to orient himself
[22:54] * Caoilinn decides that things must be pretty serious for this sort of action and stops talking.
[22:55] Kuonji: (We all gon' die!)
[22:55] Alathon: On the other side, Venus is not present.. just Mars, Pluto, and two members of the CT Police force.
[22:55] Tsukasa: (Oh.... joy)
[22:55] Gerand: (So fucked)
[22:55] Alathon: One of the CT Police speak up.
[22:55] Gerand: (You killed us all Tsu!)
[22:55] Alathon: Officer: "Tsukasa Kuno?"
[22:55] Kuonji: (we probably just need to testify against her)
[22:55] Alathon: He looks for one of you to identify yourself as such.
[22:55] * Gerand mutters "that can't be good..."
[22:56] Kuonji: (I am spartacus!)
[22:56] * Tsukasa nods. "I am."
[22:56] Caoilinn: (More likely, they want to make sure none of us are being mind controlled.)
[22:56] Sheena: (im spartaes!)
[22:56] Gerand: (I'm sparticus!)
[22:56] Caoilinn: ("She's Spartacus")
[22:56] Tsukasa: (... Where's your loyalty to your comrades, Cao? ;_; )
[22:56] Alathon: Officer: "Tsukasa Kuno, you are under arrest, on charges of Mental Invasion and Mental Manipulation."
[22:56] * Sheena tires to gather what little engery she has left and stay fully awake
[22:57] * Gerand looks shocked
[22:57] Alathon: Officer: "Anything you say can be used against you. You will be provided with counsel at your request."
[22:57] * Tsukasa winces. "... All... all right."
[22:57] Alathon: Officer: "Understand that as Mental Manipulation is a capitol offense, any perceived attempt at escape will be met with lethal force."
[22:57] Alathon: Pluto's staff up-tics just a little at that.
[22:58] Alathon: Officer: "Step forward."
[22:58] * Tsukasa shakes her head. "No. I'm not going to run."
[22:58] Alathon: Officer: "Good."
[22:58] * Tsukasa does so, very wobbly.
[22:58] Caoilinn: (How's Sanshi taking this?)
[22:58] * Sheena grumbles abit about strong arm tatics
[22:58] Sheena: "Don't worrie Tsuka, We'll watch sanshi,"
[22:58] * Sanshi steps forward with Tsukasa.
[22:58] Sheena: (or not)
[22:59] Alathon: The Officer steps back fearfully.
[22:59] Sanshi: (Well, we'll see. It's what he'd do though)
[22:59] Kuonji: (furball's gonna bite it protecting his master?)
[22:59] Sheena: (lame)
[22:59] * Tsukasa winces and presses her hand into Sanshi's fur.
[22:59] Alathon: Officer: "You may not bring your... associate.. with you."
[22:59] Tsukasa: "No, stay back Sanshi. Sheena will... have to take care of you for now."
[22:59] Gerand: "we'll all help. Sanshi will be well taken care of."
[23:00] * Sanshi looks at Tsukasa. "But Mommy!"
[23:00] Sheena: "Ill keep him far away from Gerand"
[23:00] * Kuonji winces
[23:00] Gerand: "Hey! I think I'm insulted."
[23:00] * Gerand is trying to lighten the mood a bit.
[23:00] * Sheena ingores him
[23:00] Alathon: Both the officers look at Sanshi with slight degrees of pity on their faces; neither of the Senshi appear moved.
[23:00] Tsukasa: "No, I... This is... a place where you're not allowed to go until you're older, okay Sanshi?"
[23:01] * Kuonji whispers to Gerand "Now's NOT the time."
[23:01] * Gerand whisphers to Kounji, "if not now then when? Tsu's not coming back. you know that as well as I do."
[23:01] * Caoilinn hisses at the two of them, "Quiet!"
[23:02] * Sheena glares at gerand
[23:02] * Sanshi hears and snarls at Gerand. "She come back! Right, Mommy?"
[23:02] * Kuonji gives Gerand a very dirty look
[23:02] * Tsukasa swallows hard. "... Yeah. Real quick."
[23:02] Alathon: Mars: "Ms. Kuno has been arrested, and will stand trial."
[23:03] Sheena: "Trial for attackign some one who did there best to kill us?"
[23:04] * Sheena frowns at that, but its what shew figered
[23:04] Alathon: Mars: "Trial for invading and coercing a human mind."
[23:04] Alathon: Mars: "Her guilt is as yet to be established."
[23:04] Alathon: Mars: "... or innocence."
[23:04] * Tsukasa twitches, but thinks loud protestations may hurt her case right now.
[23:04] Gerand: "..."
[23:05] Gerand: "When is the trial?"
[23:05] Kuonji: ((*points to Gerand "he can do it too, he can do it too!" ;p))
[23:05] Alathon: Officer: "Ma'am, please hand over any and all weaponry or Crystal Tech."
[23:05] Gerand: (But I Didn't! And I asked permission first, and I can't mind rape someone.)
[23:05] Sheena: "Its back at the battle sight, along with her torn and bloody uniform"
[23:06] * Tsukasa glances at the sack she's wearing. "I don't have any with me at present."
[23:06] Alathon: Mars: "The date has yet to be established, as Ms. Kuno has not y et been assigned counsel. Rest assured, it will be timely."
[23:06] Tsukasa: (Right. Gerand, next time we need information. YOU are going to be the one to do it)
[23:06] Caoilinn: "Sheena, if you have something to say, it should be at the trial."
[23:06] Gerand: (Ask first!)
[23:06] Tsukasa: (The bullet is YOURS to take)
[23:06] Alathon: Officer: "Understood."
[23:07] Alathon: Officer: "You will also be provided with, er.. sufficient attire for dignity's sake."
[23:07] Alathon: Officer: "Step this way please, Ms. Kuno."
[23:07] * Tsukasa blushes. "Uh... thank you."
[23:07] * Tsukasa unsteadily does so.
[23:07] Gerand: (And my technique is borderline, not at all coercive.)
[23:07] Tsukasa: (There was ZERO coercion)
[23:08] * Tsukasa looks back at Sanshi, tears brimming in her eyes.
[23:08] Alathon: The officer who has been speaking steps forward to assist you.. the other one cuffs you.
[23:08] Caoilinn: (You invaded the person's mind and *killed* him. You don't think they're going to take that very seriously?)
[23:08] Alathon: ((handcuffs, not hits))
[23:09] Sheena: (we would have killed em any way)
[23:09] Alathon: The officers and Pluto will take Tsukasa away. Mars remains to speak with the group.
[23:09] Caoilinn: (That's not the issue.)
[23:10] Alathon: Once the doors close behind Pluto and the rest, Mars sighs.
[23:10] Kuonji: (well, look at it this way... there's a difference between executing a criminal legally in prison, and having one of the guards dose him in his sleep)
[23:10] Alathon: Mars: "We've contacted External Affairs.. they'll provide lodging during your stay."
[23:10] * Gerand looks visibly upset.
[23:11] * Kuonji looks a bit ill
[23:11] Sheena: "Stay? I guess where not in the city then?"
[23:11] Gerand: "and Tsukasa? will we be able to attend her trial?"
[23:11] Alathon: Mars: "Hopefully it will be brief, but we'll need to take statements from you all, and most likely, you will all be asked to serve as witnesses."
[23:11] Kuonji: "we'll probably be witnesses"
[23:11] Kuonji: (shit, beat)
[23:11] Tsukasa: (Oh joy. Gerand's one of my witnesses. I'm doomed)
[23:11] Sheena: "You think we goign to help you kill a team mate?"
[23:11] Kuonji: (by mars no less)
[23:11] Alathon: Mars: "We are in Crystal TOkyo. Given the circumstances, we would prefer that you restrict your movements to your designated quarters and building."
[23:11] * Caoilinn glares at Sheena.
[23:12] Alathon: Mars sets her jaw when Sheena speaks.
[23:12] Alathon: Mars: "I expect you to convey honestly whatever pertinent information you possess."
[23:12] * Gerand looks even more upset.
[23:13] Gerand: "yes sir."
[23:13] Alathon: Mars looks a little disgusted at Gerand, but doesn't respond.
[23:13] Gerand: "Is taht all sir?"
[23:14] * Sheena tiredly tired to rub away the incoming headake
[23:14] Sheena: *tries
[23:14] Alathon: Mars: "Yes. Any questions?"
[23:14] Gerand: "no sir. No questions sir."
[23:14] Sheena: "Are gear is back in the town we where defending, might wana keep that from the locals."
[23:15] Alathon: Mars nods at Sheena.
[23:15] Alathon: Mars: "Venus will take responsibility for it."
[23:15] Alathon: Mars: "Ms. Kuno's gear as well."
[23:15] Caoilinn: (Actually, I think we would have taken it with us to the battle, but it's no big deal.)
[23:15] Kuonji: "Yes... There was that techhead with that strange ability. We would not want him getting ahold of anything left behind."
[23:16] Alathon: Mars: "Any further questions?"
[23:16] Caoilinn: "No, ma'am."
[23:16] Kuonji: "No, Mars-sama."
[23:16] Alathon: Mars moves to turn, then turns back, and sighs.
[23:16] Sheena: (eh, this is a rather big hassle is wolfs quiting)
[23:16] Sheena: (if)
[23:16] Gerand: (is wolf quiting?)
[23:16] Alathon: Mars: "I am sorry about this, but.. we cannot take any chances with.. charges such as this. For Crystal Tokyo's sake... and, I might add, your own."
[23:16] Tsukasa: (Hey, I'm not quitting)
[23:17] Alathon: ((if he is, he hasn't told me yet ;p ))
[23:17] * Caoilinn gives a short nod.
[23:17] Gerand: "we understand sir."
[23:17] Sheena: "Tsuka is good people, Im not worried that she might have done something to us"
[23:17] Alathon: Mars: "I hope that is the case as well."
[23:18] Alathon: Mars turns, and moves to leave.
[23:18] Alathon: Mars: "Follow me."
[23:18] * Caoilinn follows her.
[23:18] * Kuonji follows
[23:18] * Gerand follows Cao
[23:18] * Sheena brings sanshi along
[23:18] Gerand: (poor Sanshi)
[23:18] * Sanshi sniffles and nuzzles Sheena.
[23:19] Alathon: Mars leads you through what is, after some examination, obviously a Department of Justice building, to the lobby.
[23:19] Sheena: "Hey Sanshi, this is probly a bad time to ask, but did tsuka ever teach you how to use the bathroom?"
[23:19] Alathon: On reaching the lobby, Mars explains where you are (you all recognize the location in general), and gives you directions to the External Affairs building where you'll be housed.
[23:20] * Sanshi nods quietly. "I big boy."
[23:20] Alathon: Mars glances over at Sanshi for a moment, before looking back at the group.
[23:20] Alathon: Mars: "Anything else?"
[23:20] Gerand: "no sir."
[23:20] Caoilinn: "No, ma'am."
[23:20] Alathon: Mars nods.
[23:21] Alathon: Mars: "It's a little late in the day.. you'll get the first requests for statements tomorrow."
[23:21] * Sheena grumbles about it being paper work time
[23:21] Alathon: Mars turns, and heads back into the building, leaving you in the lobby of the headquarters of the Department of Justice.
[23:21] Alathon: End here.
[23:21] Gerand: "Ugh. Paperwork."
[23:22] *** Tsukasa is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[23:22] *** Ala-bot has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[23:22] *** Kuonji is now known as Ataru.
[23:22] Gerand: Holf fuck but that was unexpected.
[23:22] Pale_Wolf: ... Hooo, boy.
[23:22] Ataru: how was that unexected?
[23:22] Caoilinn: (Geez, don't you think you're being a bit informal for being in front of someone of that rank/position?)
[23:22] *** Sanshi has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[23:22] *** Caoilinn is now known as Yarrow.
[23:22] Ataru: did you really not see that coming?
[23:22] Stratagemini: (me?)
[23:22] Yarrow: She really shouldn't have killed him.
[23:22] Stratagemini: I thought it would be me not Wolf.
[23:22] Sheena: You do know that if i had any ep i would have blown Gerand into the wal for that remark.
[23:22] Yarrow: Emphasis on the really.
[23:22] *** Sheena is now known as DCG.
[23:23] Stratagemini: (Whichj remark? the She's not coming back one?)
[23:23] Ataru: WHICH remark?
[23:23] Ataru: he made a lot
[23:23] DCG: um ya?
[23:23] DCG: yes i know.
[23:23] DCG: it pains me deeply
[23:23] Pale_Wolf: Tsukasa wanted to shoot him for that one too.
[23:23] Ataru: he better sleep with one eye open -_-
[23:23] Stratagemini: I had no idea sanshi could hear that.
[23:23] Pale_Wolf: One eye open? He better sleep with EVERYTHING open.
[23:23] Yarrow: *Not* the place for a murder, Ataru. :)
[23:23] Stratagemini: Wouldn't have said it if I knew.
[23:23] Ataru: Oh, don't worry
[23:23] DCG: its a quite room, we all heard it
[23:23] Ataru: I'll wait til we're in the field again
[23:24] Stratagemini: It's th truth isn't it?
[23:24] Yarrow: Oh, that's ok, then.
[23:24] Pale_Wolf: Well, I didn't know for sure either, but I figured feline hearing and RP made it the way to go.
[23:24] Yarrow: No. Gerand has no idea.
[23:24] Ataru: how many times can we tell your charachter to shut up before we listen?
[23:25] Pale_Wolf: Yes. You see, if it's 'the truth', Al would be telling me to set up a new character now.
[23:25] * Pale_Wolf waits.
[23:25] Yarrow: Oh, you might still have to do that, but it's not a given. :)
[23:25] Pale_Wolf: Okay then. If I don't blow the trial, I may yet live.
[23:25] Stratagemini: Nah. Al will wait until after yuor trial probably,
[23:25] Ataru: it's not you, you need to worry about
[23:25] DCG: bah
[23:25] Ataru: it's gerand's statement
[23:25] DCG: they dont care about the lump of meat she killed
[23:25] Ataru: who knows what he'll say
[23:26] DCG: its that she might be effecting us
[23:26] DCG: Not even thinking that the powers just freaking turned on that moring
[23:26] Alathon: Well.. there's several things
[23:26] Ataru: there's also the slippery slope concern
[23:26] Stratagemini: I won't lie. But I'm not volunteering any info either.
[23:26] Alathon: here's the line from the CT documents that's relevant:
[23:26] Pale_Wolf: Gerand will put his foot in his mouth, and in MY mouth too.
[23:26] Alathon: "To this day, telepathic manipulation remains utterly taboo despite the absence of metahumans until recently, and is considered tantamount to rape, torture, and murder rolled into one crime."
[23:27] Alathon: It's not a rule you can bend and not be called on.
[23:27] Yarrow: Reading minds *might* be borderline. Killing telepathically is not.
[23:27] Stratagemini: right. but even then I had to ask for permission.
[23:27] Ataru: best bet would have been to say nothing to venus
[23:28] Ataru: and hope she believed we tortured it outta him before killing him
[23:28] Stratagemini: she did it right in front of her.
[23:28] DCG: idoit
[23:28] Ataru: what?
[23:28] Alathon: she's not being chaged with murder at this time, because Venus specifically authorized you all to use deadly force against the riders
[23:28] Alathon: now, killing a captive isn't the same thing
[23:28] Alathon: but it's not as large a concern to Mars
[23:29] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, Tsu _didn't_ manipulate within the mind (although she did drop some hints that she was pretty sure she COULD).
[23:29] Alathon: ...
[23:29] Ataru: also not smart on her part
[23:29] Ataru: seriously
[23:29] DCG: meh
[23:29] Ataru: did she make some crack outta thin air too?
[23:29] Pale_Wolf: She wasn't going to lie, there. Perhaps unfortunately.
[23:29] DCG: i can blow up buildings now
[23:29] DCG: Dont mean im going to
[23:30] Alathon: you didn't alter his mind, or force him to take any physical action, but you did force his mind to cycle through the memories you wanted access to
[23:30] Stratagemini: you don't go around telling people that though do you?
[23:30] Alathon: that, and invading his mind at all, are the major offenses here
[23:30] * Yarrow considers killing to be manipulation, too.
[23:30] Stratagemini: would reading surface thoughts be an issue?
[23:30] Pale_Wolf: It cycled? Huh. Useful to know.
[23:30] DCG: nah, that was more of "Whats this botton do"
[23:31] Yarrow: She said she did it on purpose.
[23:31] Ataru: anyway, bed time
[23:31] Pale_Wolf: Nah, she did it intentionally.
[23:31] Pale_Wolf: Night Ataru.
[23:31] Ataru: good night
[23:31] Alathon: gnight
[23:31] Pale_Wolf: Here's hoping I live.
[23:32] Ataru: here's betting you don't
[23:32] Stratagemini: yeah. Pale. After the whole mess with my interrogation thing, you dived into his mind in front of Venus, without asking, and then killed him.
[23:32] DCG: and we still like her better then you
[23:33] Stratagemini: heh.
[23:33] Ataru: sanshi will probably have to be put down if Tsukasa gets it ;_;
[23:33] Stratagemini: I doubt that.
[23:33] Ataru: yeah, what happened to playing sane?
[23:33] Pale_Wolf: With the killing him, she was basically thinking 'he's going to die anyway, and CAN I actually do that?'
[23:33] Stratagemini: yeah, in front of Venus. not the time for experimentation.
[23:33] Stratagemini: And Ataru. that was perfectly sane. just not good people skills.
[23:34] Ataru: ...
[23:34] Ataru: survey says?
[23:34] DCG: i line you two up for a buster?
[23:34] Ataru: two?
[23:34] Ataru: what'd I do?
[23:34] * DCG checks the bords
[23:34] Pale_Wolf: Which two? Kuonji's good.
[23:34] DCG: 75 people agreed!
[23:35] Yarrow: Sanshi & Gerand?
[23:35] Stratagemini: What did Sanshi do?
[23:36] Pale_Wolf: Poor kitty.
[23:36] Stratagemini: maybe Yuuno and Me.
[23:36] Yarrow: If he has to be put down.
[23:36] Stratagemini: Yuuno's at least a pervert.
[23:37] Stratagemini: Oh. EXP for the session?
[23:37] Stratagemini: Do Kounji and I level?
[23:38] DCG: now that i think about it me and yuuno should have head a mental thing going for a while.
[23:39] *** Stelas has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[23:39] DCG: how woudl that be writen up?
[23:39] Stratagemini: who's Stelas?
[23:39] DCG: some gimp from the server
[23:39] Pale_Wolf: Mental connection?
[23:39] Yarrow: A curious server admin who popped in to say hello to the new channel at a weird time of day.
[23:39] DCG: yes
[23:39] Pale_Wolf: Rank one telepathy, one point.
[23:39] * Stelas points at Yarrow
[23:39] DCG: or that.
[23:39] Pale_Wolf: I've got the same with Sanshi.
[23:39] DCG: Lol
[23:39] * Stelas doing random 'hello' sweep
[23:39] Alathon: That only gets you sense and feelings, though
[23:39] Alathon: you need a couple more ranks to actually talk to each other
[23:40] DCG: hmm
[23:40] DCG: more points i dont have.
[23:40] DCG: oy.
[23:40] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, two ranks each and you can chat.
[23:40] Stratagemini: ah. hello then.
[23:40] Pale_Wolf: It's only the one CP a rank version.
[23:40] DCG: makes it better, but still.
[23:40] Yarrow: And hello. :)
[23:40] Stelas: Yo. Just saying hello and poking my nose around, really. I like new games and consider it my job to say hello to new channels.
[23:40] DCG: Hello, ircop?
[23:40] DCG: we just finshed.
[23:41] Pale_Wolf: Heh. Ten minutes late. Just finished.
[23:41] Stelas: I figured! Wasn't going to disrupt session after all
[23:41] Stratagemini: yeah. it was a really good session though.
[23:41] Stratagemini: No fighting, but a whole hell of a lot of plot.
[23:41] Stelas: That's an impressively long session for IRC, tho
[23:41] Ataru: bleh
[23:41] Stratagemini: This is one of our shorter ones actually.
[23:41] Ataru: I got work at 9
[23:41] DCG: Weekly session on fridays.
[23:42] Stelas: woahs. BESM d20 same as #Tarou?
[23:42] DCG: ALl tho if our current server dont get its act toghter we may be moving our main room here
[23:42] Alathon: staying closer to the SRD combat mechanics, but yeah
[23:42] DCG: Ya tarou's part of our group.
[23:42] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, Tarou started the bug :P
[23:42] Stelas: Hah. Which server's currently failing? I've noticed a couple different relief channels
[23:42] Stelas: nabiki?
[23:42] DCG: >_<
[23:42] Ataru: yeah...
[23:42] Stratagemini: yep.
[23:43] Pale_Wolf: Yeah. Hacker's farking with it.
[23:43] Alathon: that reminds me, next week is gonna be short.. will be at home, and I know we're gonna end up doing something on Friday evening
[23:43] DCG: Other people know about this?
[23:43] Stratagemini: There's a guy constantly changing the ports
[23:43] Ataru: we gotta play port roullette
[23:43] Pale_Wolf: He started his campaign, a few other Crystal Tokyo campaigns sprung up, and finally this one came.
[23:43] Stelas: DCG: I spotted at least one channel with like 1 person just saying 'nabiki back up' in topic, so.
[23:44] Pale_Wolf: Heh, yeah. Fukufics is backing itself up on Lunar.
[23:44] Stratagemini: No. Mage owns the channel here.
[23:44] DCG: ...
[23:44] Pale_Wolf: Well, Mage is backing it up :P
[23:44] Stratagemini: Unless he gives it to Stacy.
[23:44] Pale_Wolf: By the way, here are our logs.
[23:44] Pale_Wolf: (Link: http://www.fukufics.com/viewtopic.php?t=639)http://www.fukufics.com/viewtopic.php?t=639
[23:44] Stratagemini: He said he would though.
[23:45] Pale_Wolf: This session's one should be up by some time next week :)
[23:45] Alathon: heh
[23:45] Stratagemini: Check friday morning.
[23:45] DCG: Rude or premptive? meh any way.
[23:45] Alathon: just ASK him to give it to stacy/sunny
[23:45] Alathon: and he would ;p
[23:45] Alathon: yeesh
[23:45] Yarrow: Think there'll be enough time for a trial next week?
[23:45] DCG: Al you up for going over that sheet tonight or do it another day?
[23:45] Alathon: I don't know
[23:45] Alathon: if you'll be up for a bit sure, I need to go afk for a few
[23:45] Stratagemini: doubt a complete one.
[23:45] DCG: k
[23:46] Yarrow: Well, she could just plead guilty to speed things along. ;)
[23:46] DCG: jail break!
[23:46] Pale_Wolf: Hey!
[23:46] Pale_Wolf: Sadly, though Tsukasa quite possibly COULD jailbreak quite successfully, she's not gonna try.
[23:46] Stratagemini: possibly?
[23:47] Stratagemini: She can dissolve her body.
[23:47] Pale_Wolf: Well, I don't know their exact level of security.
[23:47] Yarrow: She also has the attention of several senshi.
[23:47] Stratagemini: you're Dissolved!
[23:47] Alathon: anyways bb in a few minutes
[23:47] DCG: that could be good or bad.
[23:47] Pale_Wolf: Indeed. The Senshi and little things like that are why it's 'possibly'.
[23:48] Pale_Wolf: But since she's not gonna try, it's moot :P
[23:48] Stratagemini: not even if she's guilty?
[23:48] DCG: Nothing wrong with mental powers working for ct.
[23:48] DCG: eh.. There ither going to look at gerand and decide she used him for experments.
[23:48] Stratagemini: she can take a ride with Sanshi.
[23:48] DCG: or beg her to fix him
[23:48] Yarrow: Wiseman taught them how serious mental powers and their abuse can be.
[23:49] Stratagemini: yep.
[23:49] Pale_Wolf: If she's considered guilty, she's considered guilty. The pitfalls of loyalty...
[23:49] Stratagemini: damn.
[23:50] Stratagemini: I really need to know if I level.
[23:50] Pale_Wolf: Sorry, party ain't going on the run from Crystal Tokyo with their criminal member.
[23:50] Stelas: Roight! I'm off; have fun, enjoy etc. Any problems feel free to poke us in #lunarnet and I may peer around at logs and session <s>if I remember</s>.
[23:50] Yarrow: Damn right. :)
[23:50] DCG: cya
[23:50] Stratagemini: well, I mean you could escape and come back as an NPC villain later.
[23:50] Yarrow: Thanks. Have fun.
[23:50] *** Stelas has left #CrystalTokyo.
[23:50] DCG: see the problem with that is
[23:51] DCG: tsuka isnt lame like gerand
[23:51] Stratagemini: gerand wouldn't run either.
[23:51] Stratagemini: but with tsukasa's powers she could concievably change her appearance.
[23:52] Pale_Wolf: Not yet, but if she should go NPC, she can develop there :P
[23:52] Stratagemini: yeah.
[23:52] Yarrow: If she's not going to run away, it's academic.
[23:52] Stratagemini: true.
[23:52] Stratagemini: it's also academic if she wins the trial.
[23:52] Yarrow: Especially considering the penalty for the crime. :)
[23:53] Pale_Wolf: Oh, there's the option. There's not just her loyalty to consider - she'll certainly make a damn good effort not to have lied to Sanshi (damn you Gerand).
[23:54] Pale_Wolf: However, that's going to be... interesting to see her decide.
[23:54] Stratagemini: if I makes sure you come back...
[23:54] Pale_Wolf: Uh, buddy, you just forced her to make a promise to a toddler that she has no real clue whether she can keep.
[23:55] DCG: thats ok
[23:55] Yarrow: I don't think there's much chance of her escaping. The senshi know what her abilities are, and there's no way they're not going to take seriously someone who can take control of others' minds.
[23:55] DCG: ill feed the evil gerand to sanshi for making mommie go aawy
[23:55] Stratagemini: I didn't MAKE her go away!
[23:55] Pale_Wolf: Gerand, if Tsukasa escapes, get a Mind Shield. Get Wis. And run anyway. :P
[23:55] Stratagemini: I have ranks in Mind shield. many many ranks.
[23:56] DCG: do you have ranks in "Oh shi-!" shield?
[23:56] Stratagemini: yes. It's called Stoneskin and Dimension door.
[23:57] Pale_Wolf: Reeeeeaaally. Keep 'em up 24/7?
[23:57] Stratagemini: meanwhile I'm rolling a new Character.
[23:57] Stratagemini: Stoneskin? yep.
[23:58] Pale_Wolf: And you haven't run out on that wand yet?
[23:58] Pale_Wolf: Ah well, plasma rifles bust straight through it :)
[23:58] Stratagemini: 40 charges left.
[23:58] DCG: its the only thing keeping the ninja alive
[23:58] Stratagemini: Yeah! You can't kill me! The ninja'll die!
[23:58] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, but I mean does Gerand keep that spell active on himself while he's eating? Sleeping? Bathing?
[23:59] * Stratagemini doesn't bathe. That's almsot as effective as stoneskin.
[00:00] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, the dirt's your armour.
[00:00] Alathon: 1400 exp for the session, btw

Session #16
[18:11] Alathon: anyways
[18:11] Sheena: yarrow's making me want to order a pizza
[18:12] Sheena: of corse in chicago we dont put that pussy shit on it
[18:12] Alathon: we left off last week with Tsukasa taken into custody, and the rest of the group standing in the lobby of the Department of Justice headquarters, with directions to procede to the External Affairds hq for lodging.
[18:13] Caoilinn: (Shall we start bicker--er, interacting now?)
[18:13] Alathon: You all know where this is. Which is more than you know about Tsukasa.. last you saw, she was being escorted off to somewhere (presumably, jail) by Crystal Tokyo police officers, and Sailor Pluto.
[18:13] Alathon: You've been advised that the interrogation -- er, statement-taking, will begin tomorrow.
[18:14] Alathon: You're free to do what you want at this point.. you can procede straight to ExAff if you want, chat along the way, etc..
[18:14] Alathon: or flee Crystal Tokyo if you feel so inclined, though I don't recommend that
[18:14] Caoilinn: "Let's go get our quarters."
[18:14] * Caoilinn gives the others a hard look.
[18:15] Caoilinn: "NO arguing with each other."
[18:15] * Caoilinn heads to ExAff.
[18:15] * Caoilinn looks back to make sure Sanshi is ok.
[18:16] Alathon: Sanshi is not okay, but he's following.
[18:17] Sheena: (its been so long i forgot my motavation!!)
[18:17] Caoilinn: (Well, that's enough for now.)
[18:17] Sheena: "Meh"
[18:17] * Sheena just walks along to there temp rooms
[18:18] Alathon: You'll need to find out where they are, but that won't be hard; you'll reach the ExAff HQ without incident (via subway)
[18:18] *** Tsukasa has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[18:18] Kuonji: back
[18:18] Caoilinn: (They offed her early!)
[18:18] Alathon: ((apparently))
[18:18] *** Tsukasa has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[18:18] * Gerand heads over to ExAff as well.
[18:18] Tsukasa: (Gah. What'd I miss?)
[18:19] Alathon: ((last line?))
[18:19] Gerand: (Peered without a trial?)
[18:19] Tsukasa: (Just a minute)
[18:19] Alathon: When you reach the receptionist's desk, and askf or that information, you'll be told that Venus' administrative assistant will be handling your lodgings.
[18:19] Alathon: They page the admin; several minutes later, he arrives, and introduces himself as Yuri Andropov.
[18:20] Tsukasa: ([21:18] <Alathon> You'll need to find out where they are, but that won't be hard; you'll reach the ExAff HQ without incident (via subway))
[18:20] Caoilinn: (Now, that sounds familiar, too...)
[18:20] Alathon: He's tall-ish, over six feet, and while he's only moderately handsome, he's very much ripped -- not quite steroid ripped, but very muscular.
[18:20] * Gerand doesn't leer at him.
[18:20] Caoilinn: (And that may explain the 'yuri' line by Venus earlier :p )
[18:20] Sheena: (lol)
[18:21] Gerand: (Would Yuri be up for some Yaoi you think?)
[18:21] Caoilinn: (Not once he got to know you.)
[18:21] Gerand: (too bad)
[18:21] Sheena: (thats it, your getting shoved down the staires)
[18:21] Alathon: Yuri is a little brusque, but polite, and will lead you to a series of rooms several floors up. They're interconnected. He'll ask whom Sanshi should stay with.
[18:21] Gerand: (What? that was out of character!)
[18:22] *** Switchblade has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[18:22] *** Switchblade is now known as Sanshi.
[18:22] Sheena: "Sanshi's with me"
[18:22] Gerand: (Was it sheena that Tsu left him with?)
[18:22] Gerand: (Yeah thought so)
[18:22] Sanshi: (And THAT was why I peered. I forgot how to make a new server window)
[18:22] Gerand: (heh)
[18:23] Caoilinn: (Oh, you missed nothing before, Pale)
[18:23] * Gerand walks around the complex exploring now that he's seen his room.
[18:23] Gerand: (Anything interesting about?)
[18:24] Sheena: (the pink slip on the desk for you)
[18:24] Alathon: Sanshi is nervous, grieving, and a little unsure about what to do.. but hesitantly follows Sheena to her room.
[18:24] Kuonji: (poor sanshi)
[18:24] Gerand: (Trial first, then I get fired)
[18:24] Gerand: (Poor sanshi? poor Tsu!)
[18:25] * Caoilinn says to Sheena & Kuonji once Gerand is off somewhere, "I know it's hard, but please try not to get into a fight or argument with Gerand."
[18:25] Caoilinn: "It really won't help things."
[18:25] Kuonji: "..."
[18:25] Sheena: (is later found out the mental damage the party suffered is from spending the day with gerand, and tsuka was the only thing keeping them alive)
[18:25] Kuonji: "Yes, taichou."
[18:25] Kuonji: (lol)
[18:25] Sheena: "For now,"
[18:25] * Caoilinn nods.
[18:25] Caoilinn: "For now."
[18:25] Gerand: (mental damage?)
[18:26] Caoilinn: "I'll be in my room for now if anyone needs me."
[18:26] * Caoilinn suits action to words.
[18:27] Caoilinn: (Are there data terminals in the rooms, btw?)
[18:27] * Kuonji nods and enters his room
[18:27] * Gerand continues wandering around.
[18:27] Alathon: There are
[18:27] Kuonji: "Hmm... wonder if I should call home..."
[18:27] Alathon: They're fully equipped, and a little on the luxiour side.
[18:28] Alathon: Including minibars, though the prices for the minis are exorbitant
[18:28] Gerand: (mini bars in government facilities?)
[18:28] Alathon: With your salaries, you can easily afford them, however
[18:28] * Sheena passes yuuno off to Sanshi and logs online.
[18:28] Gerand: (We get paid?)
[18:28] Sheena: "Hmmm, hover bike prices.. How about converting gas to crystal tech?"
[18:28] Alathon: ((... you've been working for External Affairs, and yes you get paid. Very well, in fact))
[18:29] * Caoilinn rests, since the party was up late last night fighting, then got up early to attack the Riders before meeting up with Venus.
[18:29] Alathon: If you turn on the holovision and look through the news, it'll be pretty standard fare.. and no mention yet of Tsukasa.
[18:29] Sheena: (why would they?)
[18:30] Kuonji: (mind crimes... serious buisness)
[18:30] Gerand: (It's a government op though)
[18:30] Caoilinn: (A capital offense like telepathy with one of the first graduates of the new Infinity Academy?)
[18:30] Caoilinn: (You can bet it'll be on the news.)
[18:31] Sheena: (its only a capital offense if uses aginst the people, Not on a mission, Or for having it)
[18:32] Gerand: (the biker wasn't a person?)
[18:32] Sheena: (Not to us no.
[18:32] Caoilinn: (The identity of the victim does not always mitigate an offense.)
[18:32] Sheena: (venus just about gave us driect orders to wipe them all out)
[18:32] Alathon: ((.. if you're gonna discuss it, In Character please ;p ))
[18:33] Sheena: (sheena wants a bike! better come up with somethng dm.)
[18:33] * Sheena lets her searchs run heads over to the over priced bar.
[18:33] Sheena: "How are ya holding up sanshi?"
[18:33] Alathon: That's a good point. If you think about it a bit, it may occur to you that the situation you were involved in was a little odd. Bandit extermination is really a job for the military, not External Affairs.
[18:34] * Gerand heads back to his room and goes online.
[18:34] * Sanshi looks up. "... I okay."
[18:34] Caoilinn: (Bandits around CT, maybe...)
[18:35] Gerand: (Why are infinity graduates in ExAff anyway? it seems that they'd be more suited to military.)
[18:35] Sheena: (we are elite, no grunts)
[18:35] Kuonji: (are we allowed to leave the premises?)
[18:35] * Caoilinn announces later that afternoon that Lady Venus will be coming to meet with the group.
[18:35] Caoilinn: (Yes, but not the city)
[18:35] * Gerand nods.
[18:35] Alathon: ((because Venus wanted Metas as bodyguards, both to maintain an illusion in a meta-heavy culture that CT had the same sort of meta presence, and for the firepower in general))
[18:35] Gerand: "To take our statements?"
[18:36] Gerand: "or for something else?"
[18:36] Sheena: "Im guessing your still to young to drink, eh sanshi?"
[18:36] Caoilinn: "That's probably not something that'll be done by her."
[18:36] Caoilinn: (Meet the group that evening, that is)
[18:36] Gerand: "what does she want then? debrief us?"
[18:36] Kuonji: "Hmm... I was hoping to visit some family. Perhaps later then.
[18:36] Kuonji: "
[18:36] * Caoilinn nods.
[18:37] Caoilinn: "Well, if you can be back by evening, I don't think it should be a problem."
[18:38] Gerand: "makes sense. Do you know when They'll take our statements? the sooner this is all over with the better I'll feel. my stomach's trying to eatitself right now.""
[18:38] * Kuonji looks like he wants to say something, but looks at Gerand and stops
[18:38] Caoilinn: "I don't know. Maybe we'll find out tonight."
[18:38] * Gerand nods.
[18:38] *** Tsukasa has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).
[18:39] Gerand: "I hate waiting. Wish there was something I could do."
[18:39] Sheena: "You could shut up?"
[18:39] *** Tsukasa has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[18:39] * Kuonji nods agreeably
[18:39] Gerand: "I'm going out. maybe the fresh air will help me feel better."
[18:39] * Sheena finds a bottle of wine and heads over to see of Caoilinn wants to split it.
[18:39] * Gerand turns and heads out.
[18:40] Caoilinn: "All right. Just be sure to be back before evening."
[18:40] * Gerand nods
[18:40] Sheena: "Hey yuuno order some food"
[18:40] * Kuonji waits for Gerand to leave
[18:40] Kuonji: "Actually... I wanted to invite you both to the family restraunt."
[18:40] Gerand: (Okonomiyaki?)
[18:41] Kuonji: (yes, but you're gone so nyah :p)
[18:41] * Gerand heads off for some Ramen.
[18:41] Sheena: "Family restraunt? That sounds interesting"
[18:41] Caoilinn: "That sounds nice. What do you think, Sheena?"
[18:41] Gerand: (Is there a Cat Cafe in Crystal Tokyo?)
[18:41] Sheena: "Do they let giant cat beasts in?"
[18:42] Caoilinn: (Yes, but it's operated entirely by mooncats. Do you like cat hairs in your food?)
[18:42] * Caoilinn nods.
[18:42] Caoilinn: "Only is Sanshi can come, too."
[18:42] Kuonji: "Hmmm, I can call ahead and ask."
[18:42] Kuonji: "I hope you don't mind okonomiyaki."
[18:42] Sheena: "Can't leave the guy alone right now, might start nawing on yuuno"
[18:43] * Kuonji leaves to make the phone call
[18:43] Gerand: (Entirely by moon cats? Damn Luna and Artermis have been busy.)
[18:43] * Caoilinn took a shower (ah, heaven) before anouncing Venus's upcoming arrival.
[18:43] Sheena: (who do you think staffed the city?)
[18:43] Kuonji: (well, they've had 1000 years)
[18:43] Alathon: ((there is no cat cafe))
[18:44] Gerand: (Ah well, can't blame a guy for trying. There IS Ramen though? right?)
[18:44] * Sheena ichs herself and notices she still in a chared and bloody uniform
[18:44] Kuonji: (so, are catbeasts allowed? yes/no?)
[18:44] * Sheena heads off to get cleaned up and ready
[18:44] Gerand: (Your Family Kounji wouldn't you know?)
[18:45] Alathon: ((plenty of ramen stands))
[18:45] * Gerand goes to the nearest Ramen stand then.
[18:45] Kuonji: "Well, they said Sanshi is welcome, but it'll take us a while to get there. It might be best to wait till tomorrow."
[18:45] * Caoilinn tries to comfort Sanshi while Sheena's getting ready.
[18:45] * Sanshi will appreciate the comfort.
[18:46] Caoilinn: (He likes being petted and hugged, I assume?)
[18:46] Tsukasa: (What cat doesn't?)
[18:46] Alathon: ((normally.. he isn't as thrilled now, but it seems to calm him a little))
[18:46] * Gerand will drown his not quite sorrows in Liquor and Ramen (they do have Liquor right?)
[18:46] Caoilinn: (One that my friend had. He'd attack anyone (other than my friend) who tried.)
[18:47] Alathon: Yes, Gerand, you will succeed in getting drunk if you wanna.
[18:47] Gerand: (Roll The Dice to see if I'm getting drunk.)
[18:47] * Gerand gets drunk.
[18:47] Caoilinn: (He liked to lie on his back looking soooo cute to lure people over to pet him.)
[18:47] Caoilinn: (And then he'd attack them.)
[18:47] Gerand: (My cat does that.)
[18:47] Tsukasa: (Heh, I like this cat)
[18:47] Sheena: (cats like that rock)
[18:47] Tsukasa: (He's evil)
[18:47] Gerand: (Yep)
[18:47] Kuonji: (lol... I'm hitting on girls. are there any girls there?)
[18:48] Gerand: (If there are girls there I wanna doooo them.)
[18:48] * Sheena finshes her shower, but notices they dont have there packs, so no cloths.
[18:48] * Gerand is loudly singing a drunken ditty.
[18:48] Sheena: "Well this sucks"
[18:48] Alathon: Gerand fails to hit on girls because he's covered in wierd tattoos.
[18:48] Kuonji: (sounds like my cat.... evil little bastard. I swear he shuts my modem off on purpose)
[18:49] Gerand: (Being Marked 3 sucks siometimes!)
[18:49] * Gerand is 4 sheets to the wind by now.
[18:49] * Kuonji shivers
[18:49] * Sheena is stuck in her room with just a towle and a bloody uniform
[18:49] Kuonji: "I just had a feeling... Like someone stepping on my grave."
[18:49] * Gerand can't hold his liquor.
[18:50] * Caoilinn frowns.
[18:50] Kuonji: (He got trashed before the fucking meeting.)
[18:50] Caoilinn: "Have you had such feelings before?"
[18:50] Kuonji: "No. Not that I recall."
[18:50] * Gerand stumbles back to sleep it off.
[18:50] * Sheena heads off to check if Caochan has an extra uniform, walking up to her and ninja boy in just a towel
[18:50] Caoilinn: "Well, let's hope nothing comes of it."
[18:51] Sheena: "We all left out packs behind didnt we?"
[18:51] * Caoilinn looks up at Sheena.
[18:51] Gerand: (Can't cao make crystal clothes?)
[18:51] Caoilinn: (Well, since I'm wearing something, I'll assume I took mine. :) )
[18:51] * Kuonji blushes and turns around
[18:51] Sheena: (but you didnt!)
[18:51] Gerand: (granted they'd be uncomfortable and transparent... but still)
[18:51] Sheena: (but yours wasn't destoryed like mine way)
[18:51] Alathon: Crystal really doesn't work for clothes; Caoilinn does not have sufficient science knowledge to make microfiber threads out of crystal ;p
[18:52] Sheena: (was)
[18:52] Caoilinn: "Um, I have mine, but my clothes won't fit you."
[18:52] * Caoilinn glances at Sheena's chest.
[18:52] * Gerand could make loots of cloth, if he weren't drunk.
[18:52] Gerand: *lots
[18:52] Caoilinn: "Let me see if Yuri can get us some. We'll need dress uniforms for the trial, too."
[18:52] Sheena: "Great, all i got is that bloody and torn uniform"
[18:52] * Caoilinn contacts Yuri and relates their problem.
[18:52] Alathon: If you ring him, he'll be glad to get you some clean clothes.
[18:53] Alathon: They won't fit perfectly, but they'll be comfortable -- and not encrusted in blood.
[18:53] * Sheena pulls a wet yuuno out of her hair and shakes him off.
[18:53] Alathon: He'll also put on order fresh uniforms, since your current ones are a little on the patched side.. or a lot.
[18:53] Caoilinn: "By the way, Kuonji says that Sanshi can come, but we should probably go to the restaurant another day, since it's pretty far."
[18:53] Alathon: Yuuno: "Gaaaah, whachadothatfor?!"
[18:53] Sheena: "Sounds good."
[18:54] Sheena: "You needed a bath!"
[18:54] Sheena: "Speaking of.. sanshi probly does to"
[18:54] Alathon: Yuuno: "Well, fill the sink up already."
[18:54] Sheena: "How do we pull that off?"
[18:54] Caoilinn: (Does Sanshi look dirty? Cats do normally take care of keeping themselves clean.)
[18:55] Gerand: (i could conjure a sleet storm)
[18:55] Alathon: ((he's reasonably clean, but he has become a little whiffy over time))
[18:55] Alathon: Sanshi is capable of using a bath tub to launder himself, given time.
[18:55] Alathon: If someone asks him, he'll explain this, and do so.
[18:56] Gerand: (is he in the mood to do so?)
[18:56] Sheena: "Let me know when that stuff gets here, im going to go take care of sanshi"
[18:56] Alathon: He's not in the mood for anything, but he's capable of bathing.
[18:56] * Sheena heads back to her room
[18:57] * Caoilinn offers to help Sanshi.
[18:57] Sheena: "Come on Sanshi, we'll help you wash up"
[18:57] Sheena: "got to look good when you see mommie later"
[18:57] * Gerand continues sleeping it off.
[18:58] Kuonji: "I'm going to go rest for a bit."
[18:58] Sheena: (is that idoit drunk in a ditch some place?)
[18:58] Gerand: (his room)
[18:58] * Kuonji heads back to his room to lay down
[18:58] Alathon: Sanshi goes with Sheena to wash up.
[18:58] * Sanshi nods slowly. "Okay."
[18:58] Alathon: Anyways.. time passes, and eventually it's time for the meeting with Venus.
[18:59] * Caoilinn takes care of things like washing Sanshi, getting the replacement clothing, lunch, and such during the day.
[18:59] Gerand: (Am I sober yet?)
[18:59] Sheena: (lol no)
[18:59] Alathon: If you were "four sheets to the wind", you won't be sober until tomorrow.
[18:59] Caoilinn: (Between afternoon and evening? Hell, no.)
[18:59] Gerand: (that was stupid of me. am I at least less obviously drunk?)
[19:01] Gerand: (Ah well.)
[19:01] * Caoilinn goes back to her room after taking care of the mundane stuff in the afternoon.
[19:01] Kuonji: (well, I guess we know how Gerand's gonna get the ax)
[19:01] * Gerand stumbles out of bed and towards the meeting.
[19:01] Kuonji: (shows up drunk to the fucking meeting)
[19:01] Alathon: You're drunk, and smell it, but capable of walking and performing simple motor actions.
[19:02] * Gerand walks towards the meeting room and sits down before the world starts spinning.
[19:03] * Kuonji will try to meet up with Caoilinn and Sheena before the meeting so they can all go together
[19:03] Alathon: There's a common room across the hall from the rooms.
[19:03] * Sheena puts on her new dress uniform, sticks yuuno and her top, and leads sanshi to meet up with cao
[19:03] * Gerand is still wearing what he was when he came to CT.
[19:03] Alathon: Caoilinn is apparently busy beforehand.
[19:04] * Kuonji changes into his dress uniform before heading out
[19:04] Alathon: Anyways.. when the time comes, Venus and Caoilinn will leave Caoilinn's apartment, and move to the common room together.
[19:04] * Caoilinn pauses briefly in midstep when she sees Gerand's condition.
[19:05] Alathon: Venus doesn't seem terribly happy... which is rather uncommon for her.
[19:05] * Kuonji walks in... and looks at Gerand.
[19:05] * Gerand looks up and frowns, blinking but saying nothing.
[19:05] Kuonji: "I think... I understand that feeling slightly better now."
[19:06] Alathon: Several couches and recliners are arranged around a coffee table; she'll take one of th recliners.
[19:06] * Gerand is on a couch.
[19:06] * Caoilinn exhales deeply and sits down in another one.
[19:06] Alathon: Venus will take a deep breath, then addresses the party.
[19:06] * Kuonji sits away from Gerand
[19:07] Alathon: Venus: "I'll say straight off the bat, I'm sorry to put you all in this position."
[19:08] Alathon: Venus massages her forehead for a moment, before looking up.
[19:08] Caoilinn: ("We understand, ma'am. You hadn't met Gerund personally before he was assigned to us.")
[19:08] Gerand: (Heh.)
[19:08] Alathon: Venus: "And if any of you choose to resign from service with External Affairs, I'll understand entirely."
[19:08] * Kuonji shifts uncomfortably a bit
[19:08] Caoilinn: ("Especially you, Gerand.")
[19:08] Gerand: "I'll take that offer."
[19:08] Alathon: Venus snorts.
[19:08] Alathon: Venus: "Damn straight you will."
[19:09] Sheena: "... I was actuly thinking about that, It depends on how the trail goes"
[19:09] Alathon: Venus looks up at Gerand, and her expression curls into disgust.
[19:09] Sheena: "I don't want to be locked up some day just beccaus my powers grow past an accepable point"
[19:09] Alathon: venus sighs.
[19:09] Alathon: Venus looks over at Sheena.
[19:10] Kuonji: (woot, Gerand's officially gone, huzza)
[19:10] Alathon: Venus: "Do you really think Tsukasa is under arrest pending trial for what her powers are?"
[19:10] Gerand: "nope."
[19:10] Kuonji: (sheena&kuonji: yes)
[19:10] Gerand: "else I'd be on trial too."
[19:10] Sheena: "Given the history we studied? Ya a bit."
[19:10] Gerand: "'ts not hwat you have. 'ts how ya use it!"
[19:10] * Kuonji mumbles something about drunken fools
[19:11] Alathon: Venus: "Well, she's not."
[19:11] Alathon: Venus nods her head over at Gerand.
[19:11] * Caoilinn nods, too.
[19:11] Alathon: Venus: "The difference between what a person can do, and what they CHOSE to do, should be immediately obvious."
[19:11] Caoilinn: (In response to Gerand's comment.)
[19:11] Sheena: "Don't mean on dissrespect Lady venus. But you just about ordered us to wipe out ever rider we ran into"
[19:12] Alathon: Venus shrugs.
[19:12] Sheena: "I don't see how tsuka doing that would be a bad thing"
[19:12] Alathon: Venus: "I orders you to kill them when the situation allowed it."
[19:12] * Gerand mutters about "ends and means"
[19:12] Alathon: Venus cocks her head.
[19:12] Caoilinn: "The person being an enemy only excuses some acts."
[19:12] Alathon: Venus: "Sheena.. how would you feel about an order to rape them?"
[19:12] Caoilinn: "She could kill him reasonably, but that wouldn't allow her to rape him."
[19:13] Sheena: "I don't have to proper equipemnt for that"
[19:13] Alathon: Venus laughs, harshly.
[19:13] * Caoilinn makes a face at Sheena and shakes her head.
[19:13] * Gerand snorts
[19:13] Alathon: Venus: "Don't kid yourself.. you command more magical power than most people will ever see, and you can wield a broomstick as well as anyone else."
[19:13] Sheena: "Some attacks cao? Hell.. I vaped some people out there that night. I mean shit. There wasn't nothing left."
[19:14] Alathon: Venus looks at Sheena, waiting for an answer.
[19:14] Gerand: "tentacles ain't no pretty sight neither."
[19:14] Alathon: Venus shakes her head slightly at that comment.
[19:14] Sheena: "But no, i wouldnt do that."
[19:14] * Sheena ingores the drunk
[19:15] Alathon: Venus smiles, slightly.
[19:15] Alathon: Venus: "Why not?"
[19:15] Sheena: "It's up there on my list off stuff that would make me quit, Near Orders to have sex with some one."
[19:16] * Sheena shurges.
[19:16] Sheena: "It's just not how i am"
[19:16] Gerand: (no sexual espionage? no secrets between the sheets?)
[19:17] Alathon: Venus: "But why? You were obviously willing to kill them."
[19:17] Alathon: Venus: "And mind you, I have absolutely no quarrel with a willingness to kill 'people' like them."
[19:17] * Sheena thinks on that one
[19:18] Sheena: "I can't really say.. It's not something i thought of before."
[19:18] Alathon: Venus pauses.
[19:18] Sheena: "I just know it would disagree with me"
[19:18] Alathon: Venus: "Rightly so, I suppose. Most decent people don't have to think about a question like that.. they just know it's wrong."
[19:19] Alathon: Venus: "It would arguably do less harm to them than killing them... but you know in your heart that it'd be worse."
[19:19] Alathon: Venus pauses.
[19:19] Alathon: Venus: "Well.. it'd be worse for you to do it, at least."
[19:20] Caoilinn: "It'd be an unwarranted violation."
[19:20] Alathon: Venus looks over at Caoilinn.
[19:20] Alathon: Venus: "Is there such a thing as warranted violation?"
[19:21] Caoilinn: "Killing people like the Riders."
[19:21] Alathon: Venus shakes her head.
[19:21] Alathon: Venus: "I have a hard time seeing that as a 'violation'."
[19:21] Alathon: Venus: "Oh, I guess you could spin some sort of argument about being a 'violation of their free will', or their 'right to exist'..."
[19:21] Alathon: Venus: "But that's not really what the word means in this context, and you know it."
[19:22] * Caoilinn ponders.
[19:22] Alathon: Venus pauses, then continues.
[19:22] Alathon: Venus: "What Tsukasa did was evil."
[19:22] * Sheena blinks at that
[19:22] Caoilinn: (*kills the line she was going to say since Venus is going on.)
[19:23] Sheena: "Now thats a bit harsh, Tsuka sure as hell isnt a bad person."
[19:23] Alathon: Venus looks over at Sheena.
[19:23] Alathon: Venus: "Does she have to be a bad person to commit an evil act?"
[19:23] Gerand: "Said what she did. not who she was."
[19:23] Alathon: Venus: "I, for one, think she did what she did with the best of intentions."
[19:23] Caoilinn: "No. A good person can commit an evil act."
[19:24] Sheena: "Meh, Stuiped girl didn't even think about anything like that. Just that we needed questions answered"
[19:24] Alathon: Venus lets out a long sigh.
[19:24] Alathon: Venus: "And if they could have been answered via rape, would that have been acceptable?"
[19:25] Alathon: Venus: "never mind the mechanics.. just ask yourself that, yes or no."
[19:25] Gerand: (Sounds Like Tsukasa's getting the chair.)
[19:25] Kuonji: (rape is pretty ineffective for interrigation, actually.)
[19:26] Sheena: (ya)
[19:26] Alathon: ((Venus wouldn't have practical experience with that, I'm afraid ;p ))
[19:26] Alathon: ((but obviously, that's not what she's driving at))
[19:26] Alathon: Venus waits... then says again, "Yes, or no?"
[19:26] Kuonji: (I'm sure it would have been covered in any interrigation classes in the acadamy)
[19:26] Gerand: (Torture would be a better example maybe. not as stark though.)
[19:26] Gerand: "nah."
[19:27] Caoilinn: (She's asking Sheena specifically?)
[19:27] Alathon: ((yes))
[19:27] Sheena: "No of corse, and i know tsuka would agrea"
[19:27] Alathon: Venus nods.
[19:27] Sheena: "She probly didnt even think of it that way,"
[19:27] Alathon: Venus: "I suspect she would as well... and yes, I dearly hope she did NOT think of it that way."
[19:27] Kuonji: "She was probably thinking about how many lives the information might save."
[19:27] Sheena: "Had her powers for what? A whole hour? And she spend most of that near death"
[19:27] Alathon: Venus: "She probably wasn't thinking at all!"
[19:27] Alathon: Venus says this angrily.
[19:28] Alathon: Vemis
[19:28] * Sheena sighs
[19:28] Alathon: ((bleah))
[19:28] Sheena: "ya,"
[19:28] Alathon: Venus' armchair splinters and collapses under the strength of her fist.
[19:28] Gerand: (Well wwe know whose side Venus is on)
[19:28] Alathon: Venus looks down at the busted arm rest.
[19:28] Alathon: Venus: "God dammit."
[19:28] Caoilinn: (What's really impressive is that it's a metal chair.)
[19:29] Gerand: (heh. she's in a recliner.)
[19:29] Gerand: (That makes it cushy)
[19:29] Sheena: (Oh sure, she gets to be a magical girl with more then 8 str)
[19:29] * Kuonji blinks
[19:29] Alathon: ((both the cushy part, and the wooden part, are busted))
[19:29] * Gerand stares, and snickers
[19:30] * Caoilinn just stares at Gerand.
[19:30] * Gerand stops snickering abruptly
[19:30] Alathon: Venus: "Well, regardless, what's done is done. And.. Tsukasa will have to answer for her actions."
[19:30] Alathon: Venus looks up at Gerand for a moment.
[19:30] Gerand: "what's gonna happen to her?"
[19:30] Alathon: Venus: "I.... never mind."
[19:30] Sheena: "Sorry about putting you in a spot like this lady venus, after you recruited us and all that."
[19:31] Alathon: Venus: "What happens is largely up to her. She will have the right to choose how she pleads, after all. Guilty, Innnocent, No Contest.."
[19:31] Alathon: Venus: "Beyond that, it'll be up to the Courts."
[19:31] Gerand: "no contest?"
[19:31] Alathon: Venus looks over at Sheena.
[19:31] Alathon: Venus smiles bitterly.
[19:31] Alathon: Venus: "I'm not really the one in the spot.. but thanks."
[19:31] Alathon: Venus looks up at Gerand.
[19:32] * Gerand lookss back.
[19:32] Alathon: Venus: "Tsukasa could choose to plead no contest.. that she commited the crime, per the letter of the law, but does not acknowledge wrongdoing."
[19:32] * Gerand looks confused
[19:33] Alathon: Venus: "Under normal circumstances, that'd be considered by the panel of Judges for sentencing.. in this case, it's more likely to be considered by the Crown Inquest."
[19:33] Gerand: (ssems like the best way to plead, either that or guilty)
[19:34] Kuonji: (inquest is mars?)
[19:34] Gerand: "when do they take our statements?"
[19:34] Gerand: "if at all?"
[19:35] Gerand: (Tsukasa need Phoenix Wright on her side.)
[19:35] Alathon: Venus: "tomorrow."
[19:35] * Gerand nods.
[19:35] Sheena: "Are they really going to question.. him?'
[19:35] Gerand: "Can I be excused?"
[19:35] Alathon: Venus: "To the bathroom? Sure."
[19:35] Alathon: Venus says this derisively.
[19:36] Gerand: "no. I meant is this meeting over?"
[19:36] * Gerand is not phased my Venus in his drunken state
[19:36] Sheena: "How high up are we? Any one got aproblem with me flinging him from a window?"
[19:36] * Gerand turns to sheena.
[19:37] Alathon: Venus sets her jaw, to stifle whatever response she was about to make.
[19:37] Gerand: "shut up."
[19:37] * Sheena just raises an eye brow at that
[19:37] Tsukasa: (Well... you know, this is probably good for me. Venus may like me again if only 'because she's not as annoying as Gerand')
[19:37] Kuonji: "Want me to open the window for you Sheena-san? Or would you prefer he goes through the glass?"
[19:37] Alathon: Venus: "Gerand Current, you're dismissed. Report to the front desk."
[19:38] Caoilinn: (It's not a question of her liking you, unfortunately.)
[19:38] Gerand: "Thank you Lady Venus."
[19:38] Alathon: Venus nods.
[19:38] * Gerand leaves for the front Desk.
[19:38] Gerand: (And that's it for Gerand?
[19:38] Alathon: Yes.
[19:38] *** Gerand is now known as Stratagemini.
[19:38] * Kuonji clenches and unclenches his fist
[19:38] Sheena: "Soo... Do you mind me asking where you found that guy?"
[19:39] Kuonji: "If I never see him again, it'll be far too soon."
[19:39] Tsukasa: (Gonna try to intro your new character this session, too?)
[19:39] Stratagemini: (That's up To Al)
[19:39] * Caoilinn slowly shakes her head.
[19:40] Alathon: Venus pauses, opens her mouth, then closes it and shakes her head.
[19:40] Alathon: Venus: "I'm sure he'll do well in research.. or on frontier patrols, maybe."
[19:40] Stratagemini: (or maybe he'll become a supervillian.)
[19:40] Alathon: Venus: "Still.. if you need a reminder that we are not a metahuman heavy society, consider his assignment to this team, said reminder."
[19:40] Stratagemini: (never know.)
[19:41] Sheena: "You know he glows a bright green right?"
[19:41] Alathon: Venus: "Yes, I know he glows a bright green, like he's some sort of radioactive biker bar reject."
[19:41] Kuonji: "Even when he's casting an invisibility spell."
[19:41] Stratagemini: (Hey!)
[19:41] Alathon: Venus: "Just... whatever."
[19:41] Sheena: "Sorry.."
[19:41] Alathon: Venus: "Like I said.. research."
[19:42] Alathon: Venus: "But.. back to the point."
[19:42] Caoilinn: "Yes. Let's go back to what's *important*."
[19:42] Alathon: Venus: "I don't know what Tsukasa's fate will be. The law is crystal clear... but in this case, the law is subject to Serenity, Neptune, and Pluto's judgement."
[19:43] Alathon: Venus's expression softens.
[19:43] Sheena: "Ya know, if you just told her not to do it again im sure she would listen"
[19:43] Alathon: Venus: "I might add, that I trust their judgement implicitly."
[19:43] Alathon: Venus looks over at Sheena.
[19:43] Alathon: Venus: "For some things, 'don't do it again', just doesn't cut it. You know, like what we were discussing earlier?"
[19:44] Stratagemini: (Can Pluto see the future?)
[19:44] Caoilinn: (How in the world would you know?)
[19:44] Stratagemini: (Asking out of Character)
[19:44] Sheena: "Ya but... Hell tsuka isnt like that"
[19:44] Caoilinn: (Same answer. :p )
[19:44] * Sheena sighs
[19:44] Alathon: ((as far as any character in this game knows, Pluto is one of the sailor senshi, with an advisory role in the castle, and unnamed other duties))
[19:45] Alathon: Venus: "you're all lucky in a way, you know.."
[19:45] Stratagemini: (She runs assasination doesn't she?)
[19:45] Alathon: Venus: "To live in this time, I mean."
[19:45] Caoilinn: (Strat, could you hold the stupid questions until the end of the session, please.)
[19:45] Stratagemini: (Eh, fine)
[19:46] Alathon: Venus: "It's a good thing, really, to not understand just how heinous and despicable mental manipulation is."
[19:47] Alathon: Venus: "because not knowing, means you haven't had to live in times where you were exposed to it.. or your friends were, or your family."
[19:47] Alathon: Venus just sorta stares off at this point, in contemplation.
[19:48] Sheena: "We read the history, but thats only reading about it."
[19:48] Alathon: Venus: "Not the same..."
[19:49] Alathon: Venus catches herself.
[19:49] Alathon: Venus: "But anyways... here's what you can do for Tsukasa."
[19:49] Alathon: Venus looks around the group, to make sure she has your attention.
[19:49] * Kuonji perks up a bit
[19:49] * Caoilinn looks attentive.
[19:49] Alathon: Venus: "Answer the questions you're asked fully, completely, and honestly."
[19:50] Alathon: Venus: "Without any attempt to shade things, evade the intended question, and most especially without any attempt to protect Tsukasa."
[19:50] * Caoilinn looks a little let down.
[19:50] * Kuonji does as well
[19:50] Alathon: Venus: "Because one of the surest ways to condemn her would be to create evidence of your own domination under her will."
[19:50] * Kuonji blinks
[19:51] Alathon: Venus looks around.
[19:51] Alathon: Venus: "You do realize that will be one of the most pointed concerns, don't you?"
[19:51] Kuonji: "We don't have some sort of test for that?"
[19:51] * Sheena looks confushed
[19:51] Sheena: "Domination and tsuka so don't fit in the same line"
[19:51] Stratagemini: (Tsukasa the dominatrix)
[19:51] Alathon: Venus looks at Kuonji.
[19:52] Caoilinn: "Yes, ma'am."
[19:52] Sheena: "Ya, I figered that what ever one was worried about."
[19:52] Sheena: "Why else would we be sent here underwatch?"
[19:52] * Caoilinn nods.
[19:52] Alathon: Venus: "It's not that simple.. for an ongoing, forceful control, certainly. But for implanted memories, pre-planned coercions... that's not so simple."
[19:52] Caoilinn: "And they're right to be concerned."
[19:52] * Kuonji nods
[19:53] Alathon: Venus shakes her head, and lets out a breath.
[19:53] Alathon: Venus: "I don't have much else to say... any questions?"
[19:54] Sheena: "Did we at lest take care of that rider problem?"
[19:54] Caoilinn: "How will the proceedings go and what will our part in them be?"
[19:55] Alathon: Venus pauses.
[19:56] * Caoilinn looks a bit confused at Sheena's question.
[19:56] Alathon: Venus: "From what Tsukasa gleaned, I doubt the rider problem will go away any time soon.. but I do think we'll have prevented them from conquering the Nevadan Protectorate outright."
[19:56] Alathon: Venus: "As long as there's a steady stream of thugs heading west... well, that's a problem for another day."
[19:56] Alathon: Venus: "But yes, you did good."
[19:56] Alathon: Venus: "As far as I'm concerned, anyway."
[19:58] Alathon: Venus looks over at Caoilinn.
[19:58] Alathon: Venus: "As to the proceedings... i don't know yet. You may not even be asked to testify, if Tsukasa chooses to plead No Conest... or Guilty."
[19:59] Alathon: Venus: "You will certainly be asked to make statements, however."
[19:59] Stratagemini: (Tsu what's your plea?)
[19:59] Sheena: "Do you still want our reports?"
[20:00] Alathon: ((er, didn't you give those last session, before the whole rider incident?))
[20:00] Caoilinn: (I believe so.)
[20:00] Sheena: ((did we? Duno)
[20:00] Sheena: (k)
[20:00] Alathon: Venus: "By all means, write up reports.. include anything you consider relevant. I'll guarantee that I'll read it."
[20:03] Sheena: "Ok,"
[20:03] Alathon: Venus: "Anyways... I'm going to head out."
[20:03] Alathon: Venus stands up, and walks to the door, before turning around.
[20:03] Alathon: Venus pauses.
[20:03] * Caoilinn nods and stands.
[20:03] Alathon: Venus: "I'll put in a good word for her, you know."
[20:03] * Kuonji stands
[20:03] Kuonji: "Thank you, Venus-sama."
[20:04] Alathon: Venus: "And have faith.. in more than a thousand years, I've never lost faith in Serenity's sense of justice."
[20:04] Alathon: Venus leaves the room.
[20:04] * Caoilinn relaxes a bit.
[20:04] Sheena: "Well..."
[20:04] * Kuonji sighs
[20:05] * Sheena pets sanshi some
[20:05] Kuonji: "On the bright side, Gerand is gone."
[20:05] * Caoilinn lets out her breath.
[20:05] Tsukasa: (All things considered, that's a pretty damn bright side)
[20:05] Stratagemini: (Hey, you might be gone too Tsu)
[20:05] Caoilinn: "I can't believe he showed up drunk and even worse than he usually is."
[20:05] Sheena: "She was going to let me toss him out the window, i bet ya"
[20:05] * Caoilinn shakes her head.
[20:06] Sheena: "Since we are back in town, we don't we hit some place good for dinner?"
[20:06] Sheena: "I've had enought rations and stew for a while"
[20:06] Kuonji: "Sure."
[20:08] Caoilinn: "I ... need to contact my family. Let me see if I'll be able to go with you guys."
[20:08] * Kuonji nods
[20:08] Caoilinn: "I'll let you know soon."
[20:08] * Caoilinn goes back to her room.
[20:10] Sheena: "Am i the only one with out family around here?"
[20:10] * Sheena Leads ssanhi back to the room.
[20:10] Sheena: "Come on sanshi im going to raid that bar a bit, and i wonder if they search found anything"
[20:11] * Kuonji heads back to his room, and decides to see if the news is on
[20:13] Alathon: The news is indeed on.. but, Tsukasa isn't on it.
[20:14] Alathon: The west side Patriots clobbered the coastal Seahawks in Gridiron, though.
[20:14] Kuonji: "Go Pats!"
[20:14] * Sheena after blowing so many of them up, Sheena is interested in a bike for her self and is tracking down what crystal tokyo has to offer."
[20:15] Alathon: Hoverbikes are a common conveyance.. racing them is also a sport.
[20:15] Alathon: You haven't accrued enough credits to actually buy a racing hoverbike, but you could get a normal one easily.
[20:16] Alathon: racing bikes are an order of magnitude more expensive (and powerful) than normal ones
[20:16] Alathon: Anyways..
[20:16] Alathon: The evening will continue without incident.
[20:18] * Caoilinn comes out of her room after a bit with a rather stony expression and says she's free for dinner.
[20:19] * Sheena 's ready, still in the dress uniform.
[20:19] Sheena: "Do you want to come with, or take a nap Sanshi?"
[20:19] Kuonji: "Everything ok, taichou?"
[20:20] Caoilinn: "You shouldn't wear that tonight. You may need it for the trial."
[20:20] Sanshi: "I... I not hungry."
[20:20] * Caoilinn says shortly, "Fine."
[20:20] Sheena: "I guess your right,"
[20:20] * Kuonji decides not to press
[20:20] * Sheena tosses on what ever yuri brought up
[20:20] * Kuonji changes as well
[20:20] Sheena: "Not the best, but i hardly care about that"
[20:21] * Kuonji steps out of the room adjusting his bandana
[20:21] * Sheena fishs yuuno out of her top and set em down
[20:21] * Caoilinn goes over to Sanshi and strokes him.
[20:21] Sheena: "Keep an eye on Sanshi, I'll bring you something back"
[20:22] * Caoilinn gently asks, "Would you like to come with us anyway?"
[20:22] Sanshi: "I... yeah."
[20:22] * Caoilinn squeezes him.
[20:23] * Caoilinn smiles at him.
[20:23] Caoilinn: "All right. Let's go."
[20:23] * Kuonji smiles
[20:24] Kuonji: "Where to boss?"
[20:24] * Sheena stuffs the ferret into her hair since that problem solved itself
[20:24] Caoilinn: "Hmmm. I don't know this part of town. Let's ask at the desk."
[20:25] Caoilinn: (Does anyone want to play out dinner or should we just skip to the next day?)
[20:25] Alathon: At the desk, they will recommend a number of restaraunts, organized by price range.
[20:25] Stratagemini: (Skip)
[20:25] Caoilinn: (I'm fine with skipping.)
[20:25] Alathon: and degree of formality.
[20:25] Caoilinn: (You don't get a vote, Strat. :p )
[20:26] Stratagemini: (I have to read this waiting to intro my new Char)
[20:26] Stratagemini: (which probably won't happen this session anyway)
[20:26] Caoilinn: (And whose fault is that?)
[20:26] Stratagemini: (the not this session thing? yours actually. The new character? Mine.)
[20:27] Stratagemini: (yours as in all of ours)
[20:27] Caoilinn: (Sheena, Kuonji?)
[20:28] Sheena: (we can skip, Unless we can force cao to talk about family problems)
[20:28] Kuonji: (I'm with sheena)
[20:28] Kuonji: (if we can get something out of this, lets)
[20:29] Caoilinn: (If you ask, she'll say she doesn't want to talk about it.)
[20:29] Sheena: (booo, guess we wait thill your on a drunken rampage, LEts move ahead)
[20:30] Stratagemini: (only one drunken rampage per session)
[20:30] Alathon: Well, regardless of what you want to do
[20:30] Alathon: Today will involve your being 'asked' to give statements at the police station.
[20:30] Alathon: This will last most of the day for Gerand and Kuonji.
[20:31] Alathon: It will last well into twilight for Sheena and Caoilinn, both of whom are a little more attractive than the average material witness.
[20:31] * Caoilinn does speak to the others (not Gerand) briefly the next morning.
[20:32] Alathon: .. do so now, or hold your peace ;p
[20:32] * Caoilinn frowns briefly and says, "There's something I need to say to you before the trial and all."
[20:32] Sheena: "hmm? what is it?"
[20:33] Stratagemini: (Gerand gives the story as he saw it, along with what little he knows about Tsukasa's powers from talking to her)
[20:33] Alathon: *nod*
[20:34] Caoilinn: "Due to a dispute with my family over my career choice, I enrolled in the Academy ... under an assumed name."
[20:34] * Kuonji blinks
[20:34] * Sheena wonders why bring this up now..
[20:34] Stratagemini: (HEr real name is?)
[20:34] Alathon: ((Tiberia, obviously.))
[20:35] Caoilinn: "I don't really want to get into it before I talk with my parents again tonight, but I wanted to let you know in case it came up."
[20:35] Sheena: "Ok... So your not caochan?"
[20:35] * Caoilinn smiles slightly.
[20:35] Sheena: (key khe kah? I still duno how thats said)
[20:35] Caoilinn: "And I didn't want you to think I was a spy or something, in case you found out from someone else."
[20:35] Stratagemini: (Tiberia? daughter of a roman emperor?)
[20:35] Tsukasa: (Tiberia, great demoness of the Tarou RPG)
[20:36] Stratagemini: (Ah.)
[20:36] Stratagemini: (So she's really Mars' daughter or something? Must be something big if it comes up in Trial)
[20:36] * Caoilinn sighs.
[20:36] Sheena: "I can't help you to much with Parent problems... But im all ways around for a chat ya know?"
[20:37] Caoilinn: "That's pretty much it."
[20:37] * Caoilinn smiles.
[20:37] Caoilinn: "Thanks."
[20:37] Sheena: "Hey wait, You didnt tell us the name. Cheater"
[20:37] Kuonji: "Me too."
[20:37] Caoilinn: "Mani."
[20:37] Kuonji: "Hey.... Sheena's right!"
[20:37] * Caoilinn goes to give her statement.
[20:37] Stratagemini: (Mani?)
[20:38] Stratagemini: (this tels us nothing!)
[20:38] Sheena: "... She said that like im suposed to know that name, But i really dont.."
[20:38] * Sheena heads off as well
[20:38] Caoilinn: (What? Were you expecting Chibiusa or something?)
[20:38] Stratagemini: (YES!)
[20:38] Caoilinn: (No... she said it like you'd asked what her name was. :p )
[20:38] Stratagemini: (Not exactly... maybe ChibiRei...)
[20:38] Sheena: (at lest you have a last name!)
[20:38] * Sheena cries
[20:39] * Kuonji goes to give his statement
[20:39] Stratagemini: (hmmm... I wonder if We'll meet ChibiUsa at all.)
[20:39] Sheena: (she wouldnt be chibi after this long)
[20:39] Stratagemini: (She was chibi for 900 years...)
[20:40] Stratagemini: (In Canon)
[20:40] Alathon: Anyways... how do you all give statements?
[20:40] Alathon: i.e... with what degree of veracity
[20:40] Kuonji: (I hope no one notices the resemblance... I'm probably going to have to take off my bandana during the statement >_<)
[20:40] Alathon: and what degree of detail?
[20:40] Stratagemini: (Kounji's ChibiUsa!)
[20:41] * Caoilinn gives her in great detail and veracity (but will ease up on the level of detail if asked. :) ).
[20:41] * Stratagemini gives his statement with total Veracity and Detail. he has no reason to Lie, if Tsukasa is innocent the truth will set her free.
[20:41] Kuonji: (I AM NOT! Though I could probably be a body double with some padding ^^;;)
[20:42] Stratagemini: (ChibiUsa under Nannichuan?)
[20:42] * Sheena full details and how she saw every thing. Inculding Tsuka giving a mental knock asking if she could come in
[20:42] * Kuonji does as Venus asked and answers honestly and with detail
[20:43] Sheena: (we're probly going to get yelled at for poor tatics if anything.. that fight was hoirred"
[20:43] Stratagemini: (Maybe Kounji is related to Usa? after all she could be his mom, or grandma if she's no longer Chibi)
[20:43] Caoilinn: (Not by these people.)
[20:44] Alathon: Statement giving is about as fun as you'd expect: it's not
[20:44] Alathon: those with girl/boy magnets end up spending at least half again as much time being questioned
[20:44] Alathon: because the questioners like the way their tits, legs, or some other aspect of their body looks
[20:45] Stratagemini: (heh)
[20:45] Kuonji: (lol)
[20:45] Stratagemini: (Better to be Marked 3)
[20:45] Kuonji: (so, I either have a women interrigator, or a gay guy)
[20:46] Caoilinn: (Or someone who thinks you're female. :) )
[20:46] Tsukasa: (Hey, she's a looker... wait, she's MALE?)
[20:46] Sheena: (hah)
[20:46] Caoilinn: ("A trap!")
[20:46] Sheena: (dude did you see her hair? And thoes legs? Killer man,)
[20:46] Sheena: (you idoit thats a guy!)
[20:47] Stratagemini: (Heh, Kounji's a Trap!)
[20:47] Stratagemini: (So? what's next?)
[20:47] Kuonji: (hahahhaha)
[20:48] Alathon: The next day, Sheena and Caolinn are called back for additional questioning.
[20:48] Stratagemini: (hah. Sucks to be a girl)
[20:48] Sheena: (they found out kounji was a trap..)
[20:48] Alathon: Ostensibly because you were in contact with Tsukasa the longest of the group.
[20:48] Stratagemini: (probably)
[20:48] Alathon: But you know in y our gut it's because they wanna bang you.
[20:48] Stratagemini: (in reality cause they're hot chicks)
[20:49] Caoilinn: (If they're just asking the same things over and over, she'll ask if there's a particular reason for it.)
[20:49] Alathon: ((Verification, of course))
[20:49] Alathon: And asking the same questions in slightly different ways is part and parcel of what they do
[20:49] Kuonji: (guess my magnet's not as strong as theirs ^^)
[20:50] Alathon: Nope
[20:50] * Caoilinn will make it obvious (without actually saying anything) that she has not the slightest interest in anyone there.
[20:50] Alathon: That doesn't matter, you're still eye candy
[20:50] Stratagemini: (That's why it's a defect)
[20:52] Stratagemini: (So?)\
[20:52] Stratagemini: (Is iT Trial Time?)
[20:52] Stratagemini: (And does Sanshi get questioned?)
[20:53] Sheena: (hmm,)
[20:53] Sheena: (Sanshi's not the brightest, All tho im sure he would be more informative then glowboy)
[20:53] Alathon: If Sanshi is questioned, you didn't hear about it.
[20:54] Stratagemini: (nah. Gerand actually talked to Tsu about her powers he's a fount of knowledge)
[20:55] Stratagemini: (Anyway, questioning over yet?)
[20:56] Alathon: On the third day.. nothing happens.
[20:57] Stratagemini: (God rested?)
[20:58] Kuonji: (we have enough time to swing by the family restraunt?)
[20:58] Stratagemini: (if nothing's happning? probably.)
[20:59] Alathon: You can if you want
[20:59] Alathon: On the third day, even Sheena and Caoilinn will be free.
[21:00] Kuonji: (even? Gerand wasn't invited.)
[21:00] Caoilinn: And no trial or other business that day?
[21:01] Alathon: Not that you know of
[21:01] Alathon: No word from Tsukasa either.
[21:03] Sheena: "Oh well, lets check out Kuonji's place"
[21:04] Tsukasa: roll 1d20+2
[21:04] Ala-bot: Tsukasa rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{4}
[21:05] Kuonji: (...)
[21:05] Kuonji: (not good, not good at all)
[21:05] Caoilinn: "Lunch sounds good, but I'm seeing my parents for dinner."
[21:05] Kuonji: (will we have enough time Al?)
[21:06] Sheena: "ahh"
[21:06] Sheena: uh oh
[21:06] Sheena: (bad roll for wolf)
[21:07] Caoilinn: (Well, if the day is free, I'd assume there's time for both lunch and dinner.)
[21:07] Sheena: (just let em finsh up in pms
[21:07] Kuonji: (if that roll was important... devine relationship)
[21:08] Caoilinn: (But the senshi have a better relationship with that divinity! ;) )
[21:10] Tsukasa: (Don't worry, was an idle curiousity roll)
[21:10] Alathon: Well.. apparently nothing's doing
[21:10] Alathon: so
[21:10] Alathon: You succeed at having lunch at Kuonji's place
[21:10] Sheena: (woot!)
[21:10] Caoilinn: (Yes! Extra xp! ;) )
[21:11] Alathon: Their main dish is Okonomiyaki, though they serve various teriyaki dishes as well.
[21:11] Sheena: (gain 8 stam and spirt for 15min)
[21:11] Sheena: (problem is that got spent walking to the train)
[21:11] Alathon: Whatever you have, it's damned good.
[21:11] Stratagemini: (heh.)
[21:11] * Caoilinn tries their specialty.
[21:11] Alathon: The place is run by a young-ish guy, who looks to be 300-400ish.
[21:11] Stratagemini: (Blue wizard needs food badly)
[21:11] * Sheena wonders if the rest of Kounji's family are traps
[21:12] Alathon: Whatever you request, Okonomiyaki-wise, you'll get.. within reason.
[21:12] Alathon: If you want triple fish, you'll get triple fish.
[21:12] Stratagemini: (yes. they are. ever since the great Founder Ukyou.)
[21:12] Alathon: The uncle is obviously a guy.
[21:12] Alathon: The waitress certainly looks like a girl.
[21:13] Tsukasa: (In other words, it's his aunt and her boyfriend)
[21:13] Kuonji: (heh)
[21:13] Caoilinn: "This is a nice place."
[21:13] Caoilinn: "And the food is great."
[21:13] Stratagemini: (Traps galore!)
[21:15] Alathon: The proprietor thanks you for your generous assessment of their establishment.
[21:15] Stratagemini: (the proprietor is what gender now?)
[21:15] Caoilinn: (It was actually to our Kuonji, but I guess that one could hear, too. :) )
[21:15] Sheena: "And they let Sanshi in"
[21:16] Alathon: Chef: "He's on your tab, right?"
[21:16] Kuonji: "Yeah, I
[21:16] Kuonji: 'll cover him."
[21:16] * Sheena blinks at that.
[21:16] Alathon: The chef grins.
[21:16] Alathon: Chef: "just kidding, it's all on the house!"
[21:17] * Sheena gives Kuonji the thumbs up
[21:17] Sheena: "Cool stuff"
[21:17] * Kuonji smiles
[21:17] * Caoilinn starts to look a bit distracted after a while.
[21:17] Sheena: "Hey next time we bag a mutacow remind me to get some steak shiped over here."
[21:17] Alathon: The chef grins.
[21:17] Sheena: "I wana try a steak Okonomiyaki"
[21:18] Stratagemini: ...
[21:18] Alathon: Chef: "We haven't got to make steak okonomiyaki in nearly a decade.. I never get a chance to go hunting."
[21:18] Alathon: The chef seems a bit downcast at this.
[21:18] Stratagemini: (You'd eat Mutacow?)
[21:18] Sheena: (moo)
[21:18] Alathon: Chef: "I'll guarantee you the best Steak Okonomiyaki in Crystal Tokyo if you can provide a side of beef!"
[21:18] Stratagemini: (Sidequest!)
[21:18] Kuonji: (lol)
[21:19] Stratagemini: (heh.)
[21:19] Sheena: "hmmm.. wonder what amiko is up to. If she's back on the field it shouldnt be hard"
[21:19] * Kuonji chats with his family a bit, mostly catching up on what's been happening while he was away
[21:19] * Caoilinn falls silent, idly petting Sanshi.
[21:20] * Sheena looks over Cao's way.
[21:21] Sheena: "We should get going in a bit,"
[21:21] Alathon: Time will pass.. Okonomiyaki gets eaten.. etc etc.
[21:21] Alathon: Unless you have anything else to do, I'll assume you make it back to the External Affairs transitional housing without incident
[21:21] Kuonji: (sounds good)
[21:22] Caoilinn: "Thanks for lunch. It was great."
[21:23] Kuonji: "You're welcome, my family was happy to have you."
[21:25] Alathon: When you get back, there still won't be any news..
[21:26] Alathon: nor will there be the next day.
[21:26] Alathon: ((anything else any of you want to accomplish during this time?))
[21:26] Kuonji: (uggg
[21:26] * Sheena will spend her time praticing with the target caoilinn made for her
[21:26] Kuonji: (I need to afk for a few secs)
[21:26] Sheena: (asuming we got our gear by now)
[21:27] Alathon: actually
[21:27] Alathon: a 10 minute break wouldn't be outta place
[21:28] Alathon: though we do need to get back quickly... want to finish early tonight, before 11 EST
[21:28] Alathon: er
[21:28] Alathon: before 11 PST
[21:29] Alathon: so anyways
[21:29] Caoilinn: (10 minutes? Not long enough to go to the convenience store, but ok.)
[21:29] Alathon: *nod*
[21:29] Alathon: long enough to use the pot at least ;p
[21:29] Alathon: anyways, afk for 9
[21:31] Caoilinn: (To the microwave!)
[21:35] Kuonji: (back)
[21:35] Stratagemini: back
[21:35] Tsukasa: (Still here)
[21:36] Kuonji: (how many minutes ago was the 10 minutes given?)
[21:36] Stratagemini: 6
[21:36] Kuonji: ouch
[21:36] Stratagemini: you don't timestamp?
[21:36] Kuonji: not even enough time for a smoke
[21:36] Kuonji: no, I don't
[21:36] Stratagemini: didn't you quit?
[21:37] Kuonji: new years resolution
[21:37] Kuonji: I've got a month left
[21:37] Stratagemini: heh.
[21:38] Kuonji: new Pale Force ep tonight
[21:38] Caoilinn: Back.
[21:38] Tsukasa: (Pale Force?)
[21:38] Kuonji: look it up on youtube
[21:39] Alathon: anyways, we all ready?
[21:39] Caoilinn: Yep.
[21:39] Tsukasa: (Yep)
[21:39] Kuonji: da
[21:40] Sheena: (ya, just got back)
[21:40] Alathon: Anyways
[21:40] Alathon: Day five... the news is not so silent.
[21:40] Sheena: (damn pets, as soon as i look away from they sceen they all demand something)
[21:40] Alathon: In fact, the news is positively buzzing.
[21:40] * Caoilinn storms into her room after dinner and doesn't talk to anyone.
[21:40] Stratagemini: (gerand isn't giving interviews is he?)
[21:41] Sheena: (err woudlnt they keep it quite?)
[21:41] Alathon: The top story of the day is that an Infinity Academy graduate pleaded no contest to charges of mental invasion and mental manipulation, and is scheduled to face a Crown Inquest tomorrow.
[21:41] * Stratagemini worries about Gerand now that he's an NPC.
[21:41] Kuonji: "Oh. Shit."
[21:42] Sheena: "its i figered she would to."
[21:42] Alathon: Optinion pieces are all over the place. Talking heads are all over the place. For that matter, blogs are all over the place.
[21:42] Sheena: "Loyal and trusting"
[21:42] Kuonji: "Poor Tsukasa-san."
[21:42] Alathon: There's one very obvious rift in the population in general though.. and this soon enough becomes a topic of it's own.. the degree to which anyone who was alive in the 400s is condemning the so-far unnamed student out of hand.
[21:42] Stratagemini: (no contest isn't guilty though)
[21:43] Caoilinn: (Do they give the details of the invasion/manipulation on the news?)
[21:43] Alathon: They do not.
[21:43] * Caoilinn shakes her head.
[21:43] Alathon: In fact, the general lack of information is obvious... which results in all manner of wild speculation.
[21:44] Kuonji: "Gerand's probably selling information to the media as we speak."
[21:44] Tsukasa: (No contest is 'guilty, but it wasn't a crime in that case mister!')
[21:44] Stratagemini: (No! Gerand wouldn't do that!)
[21:44] Kuonji: (yeah he would, he needs booze money now that he's unemployed)
[21:44] Stratagemini: (I think.)
[21:44] Stratagemini: (He's a researcher, or patrol guy now)
[21:44] Alathon: He isn't as far as you know.. but he hasn't contacted the party lately, and none of you have seen fit to contact him.
[21:44] Caoilinn: (Or dead by friendly fire.)
[21:45] Sheena: (i didnt do it!)
[21:45] Alathon: Heh... Neidermeyer... "Killed by his own troops in Vietnam."
[21:45] Stratagemini: (you aren't really friendly Sheena)
[21:45] Caoilinn: (Gerand has a way with people.)
[21:45] Sheena: (not to guys like that.
[21:46] Sheena: (the group of people she spent school and training with, 1 transfered, and ones in jail, No she isnt friendly
[21:49] Alathon: The media frenzy will continue throughout the day.. even less news-oriented stations pick up on the story.
[21:49] Stratagemini: (no Gerand on the news though right?)
[21:50] Sheena: "At lest they kept the name out of it,"
[21:50] Kuonji: (are we together or seperate?)
[21:50] Stratagemini: (did they?)
[21:50] Alathon: Thus far, no names.
[21:50] Alathon: And except for Gerand, you're generally together.
[21:51] Alathon: You have adjoining apartments, with a common living space across the hall.
[21:51] * Kuonji points at Caoilin
[21:51] Kuonji: "T-t-taichou! What.... what's that?!"
[21:52] Caoilinn: "Hm? Oh..."
[21:52] * Caoilinn shrugs slightly.
[21:52] Caoilinn: "Pretty much what it looks like."
[21:53] * Sheena wanders by the check on the yelling
[21:53] * Kuonji closes and opens his mouth, but no sounds come out
[21:53] Sheena: "Whats going on?"
[21:53] Sheena: (what are we suposed to be seeing?)
[21:53] * Caoilinn says without a trace of accent, "Probably this."
[21:54] * Caoilinn points to the golden crescent moon on her forehead.
[21:54] Stratagemini: (She IS Chibi's Daughter!)
[21:54] * Sheena blinks for a moment
[21:54] Sheena: "Your a cat?"
[21:55] Caoilinn: "Yeah."
[21:55] Kuonji: "..."
[21:55] Stratagemini: (or that.)
[21:55] Sheena: "Cool."
[21:55] * Sheena gives a thumbs up and heads back to her room
[21:55] * Kuonji recomposes himself
[21:55] Kuonji: "That... was quite a surprise."
[21:56] Caoilinn: "Well, like I said, I enrolled under an assumed identity."
[21:56] *** Caoilinn is now known as Mani.
[21:56] Stratagemini: (Skeleton in teh closet?)
[21:56] Kuonji: "Any relation to the queen's advisors?" (assuming they're well known... other wise, nix this question)
[21:56] * Sheena yells from down the hall
[21:56] Sheena: "And you can't eat yuuno!"
[21:56] * Kuonji blinks, then sweat drops
[21:57] Alathon: ((they are well known... Moon Cats are well known for being part of the Crystal Tokyo beaurocracy, and for holding high positions in the Palace administration))
[21:57] Stratagemini: (no wonder Sanshi likes her)
[21:57] Sheena: (sanshi likes ever one but genard)
[21:57] Mani: "Of course."
[21:58] * Sheena wanders back in with a jug of her water
[21:58] * Sheena mmmm orange
[21:58] Sheena: "So whats the big deal?"
[21:58] Sheena: "I mean, is there a reason your showing it now?"
[21:58] Mani: "Yeah. There's no point hiding it any more."
[21:59] Mani: "You've seen the sort of thing mooncats do in this city, right?"
[21:59] Mani: "Administrating, some advising, various other desk jobs..."
[21:59] Sheena: "Not really, We only talked to one so far. And passed some in the offices at base"
[22:00] Mani: (I think it's been mentioned by Al as common knowledge)
[22:00] Kuonji: "I can see why your family would.... disagree with your career choice."
[22:00] Alathon: On a couple occasions yeah
[22:00] Sheena: ( i figered you where asking "us" and not whats common)
[22:01] Mani: "Well, even if you haven't seen them personally..."
[22:01] Sheena: "There really making a big deal about this?"
[22:01] Sheena: "Well i guess its a good thing they care..."
[22:01] Mani: "Maybe a thousand years in that sort of career is fine for all the others, but I'd go crazy."
[22:02] Mani: "Well, they wouldn't hear anything to the contrary, so...."
[22:02] Mani: "I ran away and enrolled in the Academy."
[22:02] Kuonji: "So... How'd you come up with your assumed identity?"
[22:02] Sheena: "man.. that was a while ago."
[22:03] * Sheena shudders at being a freshmen
[22:03] Mani: "I added a member to the family of a human friend of mine."
[22:04] * Kuonji nods
[22:04] Mani: "Anyway, like I said, I couldn't very well deal with the court with a false identity..."
[22:04] * Mani shakes her head.
[22:05] Sheena: "Venus probly knew of corse,"
[22:05] Mani: "To make a somewhat long story short, yeah, she and a bunch of others--including my parents--knew."
[22:05] * Mani scowls.
[22:06] Mani: "Apparently, they decided to let me get the whole 'interesting life' thing out of my system until I'm out of this 'phase'."
[22:06] Alathon: Yuuno pops out: "Uh.. isn't that a good thing?"
[22:07] Mani: "Insomuch as they didn't get me transferred to something boring or kicked out, yes."
[22:08] Sheena: "Well venus knows you can hold your own now, She isnt going to sign off on a transer to easy now."
[22:08] Sheena: "Let me guess when you stoped by for dinner they just happened to know about some prim job opengins?"
[22:08] Alathon: Yuuno: "Uh.. yeah! I mean, you're like, making your own connections.. right?"
[22:08] Mani: "The part about just humoring me and not bothering to let me know that they knew where I was, so I didn't keep hiding for no reason isn't so good."
[22:09] Kuonji: "Ouch."
[22:09] Sheena: "Im failing to see how a desk job can beat out Venus honor guard, but hey that may just be me"
[22:10] * Mani shrugs.
[22:11] Mani: "I suppose it's like if Kuonji's family insisted he stay in the family restaurant business."
[22:11] Sheena: "ahh, well can't help ya there"
[22:11] Mani: "I guess thinks with my family could be a lot better but they could be a lot worse."
[22:11] * Kuonji scratches the back of his head
[22:11] Kuonji: "Well... actually..."
[22:12] Kuonji: "We have a very strong tradition of being both fighters and chefs."
[22:12] * Mani smiles thinly.
[22:12] Kuonji: "It's a little embarrasing really... Family legend says we used to fight with giant spatualas."
[22:12] Mani: "Well, if you'd wanted to be an accountant, then."
[22:12] * Kuonji nods
[22:13] Stratagemini: (Giant Spatulas? That's ridiculous)
[22:13] Mani: "Like I said, there's no reason to be Caoilinn now, but I have to admit I kind of liked her."
[22:14] Mani: "And I love the accent..."

Session #16 - part 2
[22:14] * Kuonji chuckles
[22:14] Sheena: "pfft"
[22:14] Alathon: ((for those who may have forgotten.. Caoilinn has been speaking (at least most of the time) in a Irish accent))
[22:15] Mani: (But not for this conversation.)
[22:15] Sheena: "Been calling you caochan for years now, You think im picking up a new habbit just for you, ya got another thing coming"
[22:15] Mani: "I suppose I should probably continue being her if we go back to Nevada, at least."
[22:15] Mani: "So I don't confuse everyone there."
[22:16] Sheena: (wait don't mau's have tails?)
[22:16] Mani: "But at least I won't have to keep it from you guys."
[22:16] * Mani frowns.
[22:16] * Sheena shurges
[22:16] Sheena: "What ever ya feel like"
[22:16] Mani: "Not that it seems I ever *had* to keep it a secret."
[22:16] Sheena: "I do have one question tho.."
[22:17] Sheena: "Don't mau's have tails?"
[22:18] Mani: "Not in human form."
[22:18] Sheena: (google is unddecided, some say yes some say no.)
[22:19] Kuonji: "Well... I guess if we're sharing secrets... There's a reason I usually keep my head covered."
[22:19] Stratagemini: (So Cao can scout secretly now?)
[22:20] Alathon: ((only if she wants to risk being punted into a tree by bad guys ;p ))
[22:20] Stratagemini: (who'd be so evil as to kick a kittenm?)
[22:20] Mani: ("Who, me? I'm just a blink kitty!" <blink> <blink> <blink>)
[22:20] Alathon: ((me))
[22:21] Sheena: (evil)
[22:21] Kuonji: (lol)
[22:21] Stratagemini: (you wretched man you!)
[22:21] Kuonji: "Umm... promise not to laugh?" *Kuonji shifts uncomfortably
[22:21] * Mani nods.
[22:21] Tsukasa: (Aw, poor Tsukasa's missin' all the secrets)
[22:22] * Kuonji pulls off the bandana
[22:22] Alathon: ((sproing! out comes a massive afro))
[22:22] Kuonji: *Pink, waist length hair cascades down his back
[22:23] Stratagemini: (It's Nabeshin!)
[22:23] Alathon: ((nabe-hame-haaaaaaa!))
[22:23] Kuonji: (hahaha, well, I can pull weapons out of it :D)
[22:23] * Mani looks and waits expectantly for Kuonji to reveal his embarrassing secret.
[22:23] * Kuonji fidgets
[22:24] Mani: "So... what's the secret?"
[22:24] * Sheena blinks
[22:24] Kuonji: "Look, I'm really self conscious about my looks, ok?"
[22:24] Sheena: "Wait i know, its some kinda tentacle hair that can stangle people"
[22:24] Kuonji: "It's really hard growing up looking like a girl... the princess, at that."
[22:25] * Kuonji is blushing very hard
[22:25] Sheena: "So.. it's only pink? Well it does look better then mine."
[22:25] Sheena: "All tho im not much tom compair to"
[22:26] Kuonji: "It's also really long... and impossible to cut or dye. Believe me, I've tried."
[22:26] Mani: "Oh. I guess you do look rather like her."
[22:26] Sheena: "Wait, you can't cut it?"
[22:26] Mani: "It's pretty, though."
[22:27] Stratagemini: (pretty girly)
[22:27] Kuonji: "Yeah, it won't cut."
[22:27] Kuonji: "I kind of wonder if it's related to my ability or not."
[22:27] Mani: "Is it still growing longer?"
[22:28] Sheena: "Ill be nice and not say "Getting tackled", so whats your abiliy?"
[22:28] Kuonji: "No, thankfully. Once it reached my waist it seemed to stop."
[22:29] Kuonji: "Well..." *Kounji puts his hand into his hair... up to his elbow. He then pulls out a handful of shuriken.
[22:29] * Sheena does the same and pulls out yuuno
[22:29] Sheena: "Ok, so yours is more usefull"
[22:29] Kuonji: "Well... it's not really limited to mine."
[22:30] * Kuonji slowly sticks his hand into Sheena's hair... then pulls it back, minus the throwing stars
[22:30] Mani: "It's just pocket space, isn't it?"
[22:30] Stratagemini: (that's a hairbrained power)
[22:30] * Mani looks a little confused.
[22:30] Kuonji: "Yeah."
[22:30] Mani: "Is it only limited to hair?"
[22:30] Kuonji: "My medium is... well, hair."
[22:30] Mani: "Weird..."
[22:30] * Kuonji looks embarassed again
[22:31] Sheena: "Hair based subspace? Thats kinda cool"
[22:31] Stratagemini: (a hairy situation)
[22:31] Sheena: (fail!)
[22:31] Stratagemini: (wonder if it works on beards?)
[22:31] Sheena: "hmmm.. secreats, Wait i know"
[22:31] * Sheena waves yuuno abit
[22:32] Stratagemini: (he's really a cursed prince!)
[22:32] Sheena: "Caught him reading cheesy manga the other day... Ya ok thats lame.."
[22:32] Sheena: (i didnt take all cool sectreats for cp :( )
[22:33] Kuonji: (my secrets were lame and not worth anything ^^)
[22:33] Stratagemini: (gerand had a whopper of a Secret)
[22:33] Mani: (Pale blew my secret by getting tried for a capital crime. He's so selfish. :( )
[22:34] Stratagemini: (gerand was a direct descendant of Wiseman)
[22:34] Mani: (Yeah, we all knew that.)
[22:35] Kuonji: (If anyone needs to be executed, it's him)
[22:35] Stratagemini: (Except he didn't break the law)
[22:35] Mani: "Have you ever tried unusual methods for cutting your hair?"
[22:36] Stratagemini: (Anyway. Secrets all over now?)
[22:36] Sheena: "Caochan has some rather nasty blades that might work"
[22:36] Mani: "Or a laser or a heated blade."
[22:36] Sheena: "but then he would get split ends"
[22:36] Mani: "I bet hair that strong could actually be very useful if you could get some off of your head."
[22:36] Stratagemini: (or Sheena's magical evil thingy)
[22:36] Kuonji: "I suppose it's worth a shot."
[22:37] Kuonji: "With my luck, it'll be normal once it's off my head."
[22:37] Mani: "Hmmm."
[22:38] * Mani concentrates for a second before her crescent moon glows dimly and she shifts into a silver mooncat.
[22:38] Mani: "Ahhh, that's better."
[22:38] Alathon: She is, indeed, a talking cat.
[22:38] Alathon: Though the voice is a little squeaky.
[22:38] Mani: "You don't know how much of a pain it was staying human for so long in Nevada."
[22:39] * Mani goes over to Sanshi and affectionately butts her head against him.
[22:39] * Mani purrs and rubs against him.
[22:40] Sheena: "Yaa.. thats a lot more odd they hearing about it"
[22:40] Kuonji: (great, now we look like chibi and Diana)
[22:40] Sheena: "So its painfull to stay in one form to long?"
[22:40] Stratagemini: (body double duty anyone?)
[22:40] Mani: "No, but it's more comfortable to be myself."
[22:41] * Mani curves her spine in a feline stretch.
[22:41] * Stratagemini watches as his cat does the same thing.
[22:43] * Sheena figers it would be rude to pet her friend
[22:43] * Mani yawns and says, "I proclaim that from now on for all long marches, one of you should carry me while I nap."
[22:43] Sheena: "Hah! Ya right"
[22:43] Sheena: "Your a strong girl, im sure you'll surive just fine"
[22:43] Stratagemini: (And Mani's the leader?)
[22:43] Kuonji: "Well, I suppose I could stick you in my subspace pocket."
[22:44] * Mani jumps onto Sanshi's back, kneads a bit, then lies down, purring.
[22:44] * Kuonji sticks his tongue out at Mani
[22:44] Mani: "Never heard the expression 'cat got our tongue'?"
[22:44] Sheena: "Hmmm.. Must be a pain in the ass to get cathairs out of your own uniforms"
[22:45] * Mani casually swipes a paw in Kuonji's direction.
[22:45] Mani: "I don't mind cat hairs."
[22:45] Sheena: "Ya, funny that"
[22:45] * Mani grooms Sanshi a bit.
[22:47] Stratagemini: (so what's up with Tsu?)
[22:48] * Mani jumps down and rubs against Sheena and Kuonji.
[22:48] Stratagemini: (She alive?)
[22:48] Sheena: "hmm, I guess that why you would get mad at guys for hitting on you."
[22:48] Sheena: "Wrong spechies?"
[22:48] Mani: "I wouldn't mind them if they were civilized about it, but yeah, I'm not attracted to humans."
[22:48] Kuonji: "I supose that would be a little akward."
[22:49] Tsukasa: (I'm not sure. I surprised Serenity)
[22:49] Sheena: (you brought icecream with you?)
[22:49] Sheena: (good job!)
[22:49] Kuonji: (in a good or bad way?)
[22:49] Kuonji: (lol...icecream and manga)
[22:49] Tsukasa: (I'm... not sure whether it was a good way or a bad way)
[22:49] Mani: (Well, I'm sure she didn't expect you to do I'm a Little Teapot in front of the throne...)
[22:49] Tsukasa: (I'm hoping it was a good way, but...)
[22:51] * Kuonji sighs... "I wonder how Tsukasa-san is faring."
[22:52] Mani: "We can only just wait and see."
[22:52] Tsukasa: (Oh... dear)
[22:53] * Mani jumps onto the table and lies down in front of Sheena.
[22:53] * Mani looks at her expectantly.
[22:53] Alathon: Time will pass.
[22:53] Alathon: Tomorrow comes... tomorrow evening comes.
[22:54] Stratagemini: (tsu's alright right?)
[22:54] Sheena: "what?"
[22:54] Alathon: When the news is broadcast, there's one soundbite that dominates every news report.
[22:54] Sheena: (oh to late)
[22:54] Mani: "Don't you know how to pet a cat?"
[22:54] Sheena: "Figered it would be rude."
[22:55] Kuonji: (/me hyperventilates)
[22:55] Alathon: A soundbite of Queen Serenity stating the following: "We have declined to grant Tsukasa Kuno clemency."
[22:55] Mani: "Only if you do it in the wrong direction."
[22:55] Sheena: ...
[22:55] Kuonji: (PHEEEW)
[22:55] Kuonji: "She's alive!"
[22:56] * Mani just stares at Kuonji.
[22:56] Sheena: (isnt that a bad thing?)
[22:56] Alathon: The talking heads pretty much rally around the statement.
[22:56] Kuonji: (woops, misread, please strike that)
[22:56] Mani: (Ok.)
[22:56] Alathon: As a whole, everyone interviewed is glad to hear that the Crown isn't willing to spare the rod when it comes to mind crimes.
[22:56] Kuonji: (I somehow missed "declined")
[22:57] Alathon: (("decided?"))
[22:57] Mani: (Saw it as 'decided'?)
[22:57] Kuonji: (yeah)
[22:57] Kuonji: (aww, poor Tsu-chan is dead.)
[22:57] Alathon: Executions aren't public affairs.
[22:57] Sheena: "Whats this bull shit?"
[22:57] Alathon: If you choose to investigate it, however, you'll find out that the law requires that they be timely. i.e. the next day.
[22:57] Stratagemini: (Tsu is Dead? what killed her?)
[22:58] Mani: (I'd hope they let her see Sanshi, at least.)
[22:58] Stratagemini: (Who knows if Sanshi's getting killed too?)
[22:58] Kuonji: "Poor Tsukasa-san... What will happen to Sanshi now?"
[22:58] Mani: (I should hope this is being said without Sanshi around.)
[22:58] Alathon: ((We can assume Sanshi was in a different room, for decency's sake))
[22:58] Stratagemini: (Well you can't really hide it from him now can you?)
[22:59] * Mani sighs.
[22:59] * Sheena hand twices as dark heart pulses in her shirt
[23:00] Mani: "I don't know. I'd like to hear more about this from Venus..."
[23:00] Sheena: "Ya, some well placed trust."
[23:00] Stratagemini: (Tsu what did you say to Serentity?)
[23:00] Sheena: "Tsuka is as loyal as you freaking get"
[23:01] * Mani sighs.
[23:01] Stratagemini: (Shoulda pleaded guilty)
[23:01] Alathon: At some point in the next few hours, everyone's communicators will receive notification from the Department of Justice of a request for visitation by a prisoner.
[23:01] Stratagemini: (including Gerand?)
[23:01] Alathon: ((no ;p ))
[23:01] Kuonji: (NO!)
[23:01] Sheena: "Some one message venus so we can find out what the hell is going on"
[23:01] Alathon: ((unless Tsukasa wants to invite him))
[23:01] Stratagemini: (Thought not.)
[23:02] Mani: "It's not all about loyalty, and Tsukasa understood that she wasn't sure of receiving clemency."
[23:02] * Mani reassumes human form.
[23:02] Kuonji: "Well, shall we go?"
[23:03] Sheena: "Of corse,"
[23:03] Mani: (So, she wants us to visit? Did it specify all at once or separately?)
[23:03] Kuonji: (does she want Sanshi?)
[23:03] Alathon: ((The messages didn't specify either way.))
[23:03] Mani: (And was Sanshi mentioned?)
[23:03] Alathon: ((Tsukasa, your call whether you want to invite Sanshi))
[23:03] Stratagemini: (You think she'd not invite Sanshi?)
[23:03] Mani: (Considering the time frame, we'd better all go together.)
[23:03] Stratagemini: (Just leave him?)
[23:04] Tsukasa: (... No, I... Think she'd probably send a message to him through the others. She wouldn't want to lie to him again)
[23:04] Stratagemini: (of course if sanshi ain't coming the only one around to take care of him might be Gerand....)
[23:04] Tsukasa: (He can take care of himself)
[23:04] Alathon: ((he's sentient, he can take care of himself in general))
[23:04] Sheena: (ok hows this going to effect the game?)
[23:04] Tsukasa: (For a few minutes, at least)
[23:04] Sheena: (caus sheena will quit)
[23:04] Alathon: ((OOC discussions will definately be had.. after this scene))
[23:05] Sheena: (i find this made of lame and fail)
[23:05] Stratagemini: (k)
[23:05] Mani: (Based on hearing nothing that Tsukasa said for the past X days.)
[23:06] Stratagemini: (I don't know, I sorta suspected this would happen ever since I read the outline for the campaign)
[23:06] Mani: (You should no that no escape route/way out is player-proof.)
[23:06] Alathon: You'll all be lead to Tsukasa's cell.. which is reasonably comfortable, but definately a cell.
[23:06] Stratagemini: (not to Tsukasa mind you... but still.)
[23:06] Alathon: Sailor Pluto is leaning against the bars of the cell across from hers, watching.
[23:06] * Mani has her crescent moon showing.
[23:07] Alathon: Pluto gives each of you a once over, before going back to watching Tsukasa.
[23:07] * Sheena 's hand is still twitching but she calm
[23:07] Alathon: You're free to talk, wail, hug each other goodbye through the bars, etc.
[23:07] * Kuonji looks rather depressed
[23:07] Sheena: "This is freaking insane,"
[23:07] * Mani says quietly, "Hi."
[23:07] Sheena: (Do we know whats going to happen?)
[23:07] * Tsukasa glances at Mani. "Uh... Kei-san?"
[23:08] Alathon: You know she's slated to be executed tomorrow.
[23:08] Mani: "Hm? Oh, that... I'm a cat. I kept it concealed because of a family dispute."
[23:09] Tsukasa: "I... see. I'm sure you have a real name, then, but I'll just call you Kei-san for now instead of getting used to it..."
[23:09] Kuonji: "Hi... Tsukasa-san."
[23:09] Tsukasa: (Is K's bandanna off?)
[23:09] Kuonji: (yes)
[23:09] Mani: ("Princess?!?")
[23:09] Sheena: "So what the fuck happened that screwed ever thing up?"
[23:10] Sheena: "Last we heard is "You can trust there judement"
[23:10] * Tsukasa blinks at Kuonji. "Um... I think I can see why you were sensitive, Kuonji-san. My apologies."
[23:10] Sheena: "Sounds like polical bull shit, There little meta experminte getting out of hand"
[23:11] Kuonji: "It's ok. You really shouldn't apologize over something so trivial."
[23:11] * Sheena rant rant rant
[23:11] * Kuonji tears up a little
[23:11] * Kuonji attempts to hug Tsukasa through the bars
[23:12] * Tsukasa makes her own attempt at the hug.
[23:12] Tsukasa: "Is... Sanshi all right?"
[23:12] * Sheena sigh
[23:12] Sheena: "His alive if thats what your asking, I don't know about all right."
[23:12] Kuonji: "He misses you. We all do."
[23:13] Mani: (You know she did promise he'd see her again... are you sure she doesn't want us to bring him?)
[23:13] Tsukasa: "Will you guys... take care of him? I'm... really not sure I can keep my pro... What kind of mother am I supposed to be?"
[23:14] Sheena: "This is such bull shit, Your as loyal as it gets."
[23:14] * Tsukasa shakes her head. "It... I don't think it's about loyalty. I think it's that... the queen doesn't want the loyalty of someone like me."
[23:15] Kuonji: "I have a feeling loyalty wasn't the issue, Sheena-san"
[23:15] * Kuonji winces
[23:15] Kuonji: (what a bitch)
[23:15] Sheena: "They she shoouldnt have started her little expermeint, Im sure they are younger kids at the school who may end up doing the same"
[23:16] Alathon: Pluto watches the goings-on, but doesn't move to interfere, even when you hug through the bars.
[23:16] Tsukasa: "No, it's not about my powers. It's... me."
[23:16] * Sheena sighs
[23:16] Kuonji: "What the hell happened in there?"
[23:16] Sheena: "Meh, bull"
[23:16] * Stratagemini wants to know that too.
[23:17] * Tsukasa sighs. "I told them that I was willing to do things I hated if the end result was worth it."
[23:18] Sheena: ".. damn it girl, Your suposed to say "Im sorry it will never happen again"
[23:19] * Mani turns to Pluto and asks, "There's no other recourse?"
[23:19] * Tsukasa shrugs. "I wouldn't lie."
[23:19] Sheena: "lock her powers or something?"
[23:19] Alathon: Pluto turns to face Mani.
[23:20] * Sheena closes her eyes and leans aginst the bars.
[23:20] Alathon: Pluto: "None."
[23:20] Sheena: "this sucks"
[23:20] * Mani sighs and looks down.
[23:20] Kuonji: "You can say that again."
[23:21] Alathon: Around now, one of the jailors will come up behind the group and quietly inform them that their visiting period is almost over, so wrap it up.
[23:21] Stratagemini: (should have pleaded guilty and said that)
[23:21] Tsukasa: "Could you... apologize to Sanshi, for me? I... I don't want to lie to him again. Just... tell him I'm sorry."
[23:21] * Kuonji sniffs, and nods
[23:21] Sheena: "We can try.. but sanshi isnt ours.."
[23:22] * Tsukasa stares her down. "TELL them that he is. I will not have him raised by anyone other than the three of you, if I can't."
[23:22] Sheena: (hows a pet monster gain levels with out a trainer?)
[23:22] Alathon: ((uh, it doesn't?))
[23:23] Sheena: (wtf is the point then?)
[23:23] Tsukasa: "Take care of him, teach him how to be... Just..."
[23:23] Stratagemini: (it doesn't unless it's an NPC then GM determined)
[23:23] Mani: (That would have been my guess.)
[23:23] * Tsukasa closes her eyes.
[23:23] Alathon: Pluto: "That, at least, we can arrange."
[23:23] * Tsukasa nods to her. "Thank you, milady."
[23:24] Alathon: Jailor: "Uh... ladies... sir..."
[23:24] Alathon: Jailor: "Your time is up."
[23:24] Kuonji: (Pluto: We'll be taking him to... a concentr... "re-education center")
[23:24] Sheena: "Bull shit, Think im going to continue to be part of this little experment when it kills off my friend? One who i damn near died saving just the night before? bah..."
[23:24] * Mani sighs.
[23:24] Mani: "Good bye, Tsukasa."
[23:24] * Mani bows.
[23:24] Alathon: Pluto looks at Sheena for a moment, but declines to respond to the rant.
[23:24] * Tsukasa sighs. "Thank you, Sheena. Just... whatever you do, take care of yourself."
[23:24] Kuonji: "Good bye Tsukasa-san." *Kuonji bows as well
[23:25] * Tsukasa bows to them. "Goodbye... everyone."
[23:25] Sheena: "meh"
[23:25] * Mani turns and leaves.
[23:25] Sheena: "Hey tsuka comhere"

[23:25] * Tsukasa leans over. "Yes?"
[23:25] * Sheena Steals a deep kiss
[23:26] * Tsukasa just STARES, eyes wide.
[23:26] * Kuonji decides now might be the time to follow Mani
[23:26] Stratagemini: (...!)
[23:26] Mani: ("EWWW! Oh, thank you SO much for that last memory!")
[23:26] * Tsukasa goes red FAST.
[23:26] Alathon: Pluto Blinks.
[23:26] Sheena: "lol
[23:26] Sheena: "Hmm, be waiting for that chance"
[23:26] Tsukasa: (Let me go yet?)
[23:26] Sheena: "shouldnt have been like this"
[23:26] Sheena: (yes)
[23:26] Tsukasa: "... Uh, should I have been more nervous when we were in the showers, Sheena-san?"
[23:26] Kuonji: (LOL)
[23:26] Sheena: "Nah"
[23:27] Sheena: "Well...
[23:27] * Kuonji catches up to Mani, looking beet red
[23:27] Tsukasa: "Well... I'm glad you got the chance, at least. Or, uh..." She twiddles her fingers. "Something.
[23:27] Mani: "What's with you?"
[23:27] Sheena: "Hah!"
[23:28] Stratagemini: (I love you)
[23:28] Sheena: "hmm, well i still belive in you, I'll cya around. Oh and don't worrie about Sanshi"
[23:28] Kuonji: "Uhh, well see, uhh,... Sheena... she sort of... kissed Tsukasa."
[23:28] Stratagemini: (I know)
[23:28] Mani: "Oh."
[23:28] Kuonji: "I mean, really, REALLY kissed."
[23:28] * Mani shrugs.
[23:28] Tsukasa: "I think... he's going to stand a pretty good chance if you happen to be taking care of him. If only for attitude..."
[23:29] * Tsukasa mumbles and tries to figure out just WHAT to think.
[23:29] Sheena: "You beta, ill teach em to blow shit up with the best of them"
[23:29] * Sheena gives a bow and walks off stiffly
[23:30] * Tsukasa returns the bow. And stumbles to the ground.
[23:30] Stratagemini: (OOC Discussion Time?)

[23:32] Sheena: "Thoes minibars are over priced"
[23:32] Kuonji: "Not like we can't afford it."
[23:32] Sheena: "Lets raid a store and teach sanshi how to get smashed the right way"
[23:32] Kuonji: "Isn't he a little young to be drinking?"
[23:32] Sheena: "Not after tonight"
[23:33] Kuonji: "I don't think Tsukasa-san would appreciate us corrupting him."
[23:33] Sheena: "or would that be tommaro? bah fucking expermeint, damn hiiportics"

[23:43] Ataru: ?
[23:43] Pale_Wolf: What do you think the damage roll was?
[23:43] Alathon: And during this time.. the team is broken up.
[23:43] Stratagemini: okay.
[23:43] Ataru: oh, is this a timeskip?
[23:43] DCG: Rather high
[23:43] Yarrow: Seems like light damage for a dead scream.
[23:44] DCG: how did you get out past a dead scream

[23:44] Pale_Wolf: 39.
[23:44] Ataru: when I come back I'll have mastered the rasengan!
[23:44] Stratagemini: ah.
[23:44] Ataru: er wait, wrong show >_>
[23:44] Stratagemini: ...
[23:44] DCG: how can they target you when you err become thought like that?
[23:44] Stratagemini: anyway. how does this affect us then?
[23:44] Alathon: You don't know, you'd have to ask Pluto
[23:44] Pale_Wolf: The Senshi have powerz.
[23:44] Yarrow: They're very good at what they do.
[23:45] Alathon: How does this affect the group? I'll be discussing with each of you what happens in the mean time.
[23:45] Ataru: it doesn't effect you, Gerand is homeless now
[23:45] Yarrow: And I suppose that even spread out as air, you can get hit by an area effect.
[23:45] Alathon: However.. the short of it is, years pass, and levels are gained.
[23:45] Ataru: SWEEET
[23:45] Alathon: four levels, and four CP.
[23:45] Stratagemini: yay!
[23:45] DCG: ...
[23:45] DCG: only 4?
[23:45] Alathon: Yes
[23:45] * DCG cries
[23:45] Pale_Wolf: (YEAH baby...)
[23:45] DCG: I train ever day damn it!
[23:45] Alathon: In fact, you know what
[23:45] Alathon: 4 cp
[23:45] Yarrow: That's a huge jump...
[23:46] DCG: lol
[23:46] Stratagemini: well looks like my Character is starting at level 10 then.
[23:46] Alathon: plus 1-3 for your writeup of what you choose to do with the next four years of your life
[23:46] Alathon: it's a rather huge jump, yes
[23:46] Pale_Wolf: Have fun Strat.
[23:46] DCG: So we are still working for Venus?
[23:46] Pale_Wolf: Sorry, my cross-universal navigation... sucks.
[23:46] Alathon: I'll talk to strat about the circumstances of his character
[23:46] Ataru: well, he said we were split up
[23:46] DCG: wait
[23:46] DCG: split up?
[23:46] DCG: that sucks
[23:46] Pale_Wolf: I might be a Hibiki, instead of a Kuno :P
[23:46] Ataru: hahahaha
[23:46] Alathon: Only if you want to, and I kinda got the vibe Sheena really didn't wanna keep working for the Man
[23:46] Yarrow: Maybe you're both.
[23:47] Alathon: regardless, they wouldn't keep you together on the same team
[23:47] DCG: She will now that tsuka got loose
[23:47] DCG: That sucks!
[23:47] Ataru: oh god, a hibiki and a kuno rolled into one
[23:47] Stratagemini: Gerand goes into research wich is his passion anyway. books are a lot easier to deal with than people.
[23:47] Yarrow: We don't care what Gerand does. :p
[23:47] Ataru: He is found dead in a library with thousands of papercuts
[23:47] Alathon: ... if you get the vibe that you've rubbed the entire groupt he wrong way, well, yeah ;p
[23:47] Ataru: even the books can't stand him
[23:47] DCG: kinda hard to do a write up if we dont know who we are working for.
[23:48] Stratagemini: and what's gonna happen after a few years?
[23:48] Pale_Wolf: Well, that's why the discussion.
[23:48] Alathon: It's at your discretion.. just don't start until I've had a chance to talkt o you about what you'd likely be doing (generally) with any given group
[23:48] Pale_Wolf: The triumphant return! :P
[23:48] Alathon: What's gonna happen, you'll find out next session.
[23:48] Pale_Wolf: Maybe.
[23:48] Alathon: in the mean time, cue the "without you" music from Rent
[23:49] Ataru: I'll probably try to follow Mani ^^;
[23:49] DCG: sheena has to ttake care of sanshi with caochan..
[23:49] Stratagemini: I'll need to talk to you tommorow.
[23:49] DCG: what do we do with the big kitty any way?
[23:49] Pale_Wolf: Kuonji's allowed to, too.
[23:49] Alathon: That's partially up to you
[23:49] Pale_Wolf: Raise him like a little kid ;)
[23:49] Pale_Wolf: Does Sanshi level-up too? :P
[23:50] Pale_Wolf: Heh, thought so.
[23:50] Pale_Wolf: Ahem: thought NOT, my phrasing sucked.
[23:51] *** Sanshi has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[23:51] Ataru: so
[23:51] Ataru: sanshi will have to mommys and a daddy that looks like a mommy?
[23:51] Ataru: eerrr two
[23:51] Pale_Wolf: Yep.
[23:51] DCG: tsuka is hidding in sanshi
[23:52] Pale_Wolf: Nah, I wasn't joking. I got lost outside the universe.
[23:52] Ataru: are you going to reform as fucking Dr. Manhattan?
[23:52] Pale_Wolf: Who?
[23:52] DCG: who?
[23:53] Stratagemini: no. Manhattan. Who is a different Doctor.
[23:53] Yarrow: Ah, Nostalgia.
[23:53] * Stratagemini had to make the joke.
[23:53] Ataru: you've never read Watchmen? O_O
[23:54] Pale_Wolf: No...
[23:54] Alathon: And just for the record.. this was totally not linearly scripted
[23:54] DCG: lies!
[23:55] Alathon: I'd kinda assumed Tsukasa would be able to get clemency
[23:55] DCG: its was all politces
[23:55] DCG: What did wolf fuck up?
[23:55] Alathon: ... he didn't really fuck anything up
[23:55] Ataru: O_o
[23:55] Pale_Wolf: <Alathon> Serenity: "If you had the choice to make again, would you make the same choice?"
[23:55] Pale_Wolf: * Tsukasa clears her throat. "Yes, my queen. The information was still necessary, and I believe turned out even _more_ important than I had thought. Against that, having to do things I hate is a minor concern."
[23:55] Pale_Wolf: <Alathon> Serenity's eyes widen slightly, before her expression returns to normal.
[23:55] Pale_Wolf: That.
[23:55] Alathon: But that was part of it, yes
[23:55] Alathon: That was the final straw
[23:56] * Ataru shakes his hea
[23:56] Ataru: d
[23:56] DCG: kuno following anything goes.
[23:56] Ataru: what were ya thinking wolfie?
[23:56] Yarrow: So, she basically said that explicitly knowing the law and how her act was viewed, she'd do it anyway.
[23:56] DCG: whats the world coming to!
[23:56] Yarrow: In effect, that she'd only follow the law when she felt it best.
[23:56] Pale_Wolf: The truth shall set you free.
[23:57] Yarrow: Not the philosophy you want a telepath to have.
[23:57] Alathon: Certainly not the philosophy Serenity or the Senshi want telepaths to have, that's for sure
[23:57] Pale_Wolf: Even when the telepaths are doing that FOR them.
[23:58] Alathon: especially then
[23:58] * Alathon points to the Psycorp next door in the b5 universe.
[23:58] Pale_Wolf: Hm, haven't actually seen that so I wouldn't know the comparison.
[23:58] Alathon: heh, well, you can probably make a general guess based on the name "Psycorp"
[23:59] Stratagemini: so Pale is keeping Tsu as her character? or rolling a new one with Tsu as the new pseudo-villain?
[23:59] Alathon: what happens in four years, is that you all year from Tsukasa
[23:59] Alathon: hear ;p
[00:00] Stratagemini: where's my new Character come into it then?
[00:00] DCG: so is wolf rerolling or what?
[00:00] Alathon: we actually have to work that out
[00:00] Stratagemini: childhood acquaintance?
[00:00] Alathon: No, he's not rerolling
[00:00] Alathon: at least not yet ;p
[00:00] DCG: umm
[00:00] Yarrow: What is it with you and getting characters lost in time and space, Pale?
[00:00] Alathon: rofl, this is the second one, isn't it
[00:01] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, although this one's gonna come back...
[00:01] Pale_Wolf: Of rather, come back within the century.
[00:02] Pale_Wolf: And it wasn't Sam's fault she got dragged out into the future!
[00:02] Stratagemini: I think, that I might have to rethink my character a bit.
[00:03] DCG: what no more catgirl?
[00:03] Yarrow: You think you'll have to think it out again?
[00:03] Pale_Wolf: Heh, your typical IA grad isn't going to be so handy.
[00:03] Stratagemini: yeah.
[00:03] Alathon: Actually..
[00:03] Stratagemini: and has no connection to Tsu.
[00:03] Alathon: there's another possible background.
[00:03] Alathon: You could be an offworlder that comes back with Tsukasa
[00:04] Stratagemini: cool.
[00:04] Yarrow: Raine!
[00:04] Stratagemini: sounds good.
[00:04] Alathon: But you'd have to work some history with Tsukasa, and she'd actually have to not hate your guts
[00:04] DCG: Wouldnt that put us at odd's with ct?
[00:04] Stratagemini: I'll work on that with Pale either tommorow or sunday.
[00:04] Alathon: depends how you look at it
[00:04] Ataru: can I recreate Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now for my next 4 years?
[00:04] Alathon: there will be 'circumstances'
[00:04] Alathon: Uh... not really, no.
[00:04] Ataru: I'm sure there's a rogue general somewhere that needs assassinating
[00:04] DCG: oh circumstances huh?
[00:04] Pale_Wolf: Hm... So how would I work the ability to carry OTHER people between universes?
[00:05] Alathon: You cannot go off into the boonies and become a tribe's god and lead them into barbarism
[00:05] DCG: hmm,
[00:05] Stratagemini: can he assasinate the guy who does?
[00:05] Alathon: You don't have it right now
[00:05] DCG: we spend the next 4 years trying to get ninja boy into a dress?
[00:05] Alathon: we'll be discussing what sort of abilities are available for purchase
[00:05] Alathon: Honestly.. there aren't many people who need assassinating as far as you know
[00:06] Stratagemini: If I'm not an IA Grad I'd have different abilities at the start.
[00:06] Alathon: unless you request assignment to Nevada
[00:06] Alathon: Yes
[00:06] Alathon: if you're not an IA grad you lose CT freebies
[00:06] Ataru: "It was like a diamon bullet entering my brain... Looking at that pile of little arms, and thinking about the love required for that." (paraphrased badly from memory)
[00:06] Alathon: you also have a lot more freedom
[00:06] Stratagemini: Do I gain anything?
[00:08] Alathon: the freedom to not be bound to CT's laws, among other things
[00:08] Yarrow: Except when you're in CT. :)
[00:08] Alathon: if you do a CT character, you'll need to work out something with one of the remaining CT characters... Kuonji, Mani, or Sheena
[00:08] Stratagemini: can I keep the slow aging at least?
[00:08] Alathon: No
[00:08] Alathon: But that's only 1 point to buy anyway
[00:09] Pale_Wolf: Well, couldn't you be from ANOTHER CT?
[00:09] DCG: Mine!
[00:09] DCG: Lol
[00:09] Pale_Wolf: If you're a universe-popper...
[00:09] Stratagemini: another CT?
[00:09] DCG: drag her back from my ct
[00:09] Alathon: haha
[00:09] DCG: hmm.. 1000 years in the future
[00:09] Stratagemini: ...
[00:09] Alathon: Sorry... just, no. I don't wanna get into that sorta stuff, at least not yet
[00:10] DCG: would have ranma incharge
[00:10] * Stratagemini has a horrible vision of Kakashi and Karasu coming back.
[00:10] Pale_Wolf: ... Karasu. That IS a horrible vision.
[00:10] Stratagemini: ain't it?
[00:10] DCG: For revenge tsuka dumps Ranko in the middle of town
[00:10] Ataru: except.... instead of Karasu and Kakashi
[00:10] Ataru: it's Karasu and Gerand
[00:10] Yarrow: So. Is there anything more we need to discuss now?
[00:10] Pale_Wolf: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
[00:10] Stratagemini: that's repetitive.
[00:10] Alathon: and they're level 5.. and you're all level 10.. and instagib them
[00:10] Alathon: No
[00:11] Alathon: go to sleep :)
[00:11] Alathon: I"m gonna take a break anyways
[00:11] DCG: level 10 magic girl?
[00:11] DCG: thats going to be unfair to some
[00:11] Stratagemini: I need to work this out with Al and Pale tommorow.
[00:11] Alathon: for those that wanna discuss their four years, I'll be back in a few
[00:11] DCG: k
[00:11] Yarrow: Ok. I'm not so sure I like a 4 level jump, btw.
[00:11] * Yarrow goes to bed.
[00:11] Alathon: 4 levels of the classes you want, within reason and justification
[00:11] Pale_Wolf: I... should probably be sleeping, so I'll get in touch with you at LEAST tomorrow.
[00:11] Ataru: ok
[00:12] Stratagemini: that's right. multiclassing is allowed.
[00:12] Pale_Wolf: I may still be stupid enough to be around.
[00:12] Stratagemini: how do multiclass saves work? is it highest? or do they stack?
[00:12] Stratagemini: and how does Multiclass BA work?
[00:12] Pale_Wolf: Stack.
[00:13] Stratagemini: both?
[00:14] Pale_Wolf: Yeah. If a point of BAB comes in, that means the class was made with it bought. So taking a level adds the point as if you bought it yourself.
[00:14] Pale_Wolf: Heh, I think I'll be level 5/5.
[00:15] Stratagemini: 5/5?
[00:15] Stratagemini: what and what?
[00:15] Pale_Wolf: Monster Trainer, Adventurer.
[00:15] Stratagemini: ah.
[00:16] Pale_Wolf: Need Adventurer CP to explore my new gifts properly, and I don't have my pet with me anyway...
[00:16] Stratagemini: level 10 shapechanger here. I'm wondering whether to incomplete training my Mimic for 10 point return.
[00:16] DCG: level 10 magical cannon girl
[00:16] DCG: bwhahahaha
[00:16] Pale_Wolf: ... You know, I think I PITY the universe.
[00:17] Pale_Wolf: Strata, WHY would you do that? Mimic's one of the best abilities you can get.
[00:17] Stratagemini: hmm?
[00:17] Pale_Wolf: Think about this... DC, what level is Obsidian Blaster? And the 'Shoot' attack?
[00:17] Stratagemini: not sure I understand how it works actually.
[00:18] DCG: hmm
[00:18] DCG: right now 6
[00:19] Pale_Wolf: Owie. And Shoot?
[00:19] Stratagemini: it can mimic rank 1 attributes that's like. Hieghtened senses.
[00:19] Pale_Wolf: Uh, Strat. Rank 1.
[00:19] DCG: my shoot is rank 4
[00:19] Pale_Wolf: Not 1-CP. Rank 1.
[00:19] Stratagemini: yes.
[00:19] Pale_Wolf: As in, Rank 1 Dynamic Sorcery.
[00:19] Pale_Wolf: Rank 1 Flight.
[00:19] Pale_Wolf: Rank 1 Speed.
[00:19] Stratagemini: but at level 10 almost everyone's attributes are ridiculous.
[00:19] Stratagemini: higher than rank 1 anyway.
[00:20] Pale_Wolf: Yes, it's a lesser version, but you can mimic... uh... ALL of them.
[00:20] DCG: will they cost power?
[00:20] Pale_Wolf: If it does you, I assume it would.
[00:20] DCG: Caus if you can toss busters around with out draining yourself that will be scary
[00:20] Stratagemini: But can't I only mimic attributes that the other character has at level 1?
[00:20] Pale_Wolf: No, you can only mimic one rank of it.
[00:21] Stratagemini: or do I mimic level 6 attacks at level 1?
[00:21] Pale_Wolf: Yeah.
[00:21] Pale_Wolf: Still, Strat, if you get six levels of Mimic at this point, you are Sheena. You are Tsukasa. You are Cao, and Kuonji, and...
[00:21] Stratagemini: That IS useful.
[00:21] Stratagemini: I only get 1 with my class.
[00:22] Stratagemini: and that's a 15 foot limit for 5 rounds. 30 seconds
[00:22] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, I know, and even then Sheena's going to be advancing to scary heights. (Are you going to be able to reach series-level?)
[00:22] Pale_Wolf: However, even one rank of it is bloody useful to mimic peoples lesser attributes.
[00:23] Stratagemini: It does seem to fit with My Kitsune build.
[00:23] Ataru: ....
[00:23] Ataru: yeah, I'm taking the next 4 levels pure ninja
[00:24] Pale_Wolf: Gonna give yourself a bit of Kitsuney fire/illusion powers?
[00:24] Pale_Wolf: Heh, advance to the heights of stealth, oh sneaky one.
[00:24] Ataru: dude... I get some AWESOME shit
[00:24] Stratagemini: Illusion Powers actually.
[00:24] Ataru: 7 +5 +5 +5 +2 Teleport +1, Sixth Sense (Sense Ki-Energy) +1
[00:24] Ataru: 8 +6/+1 +6 +6 +2 Sneak Attack Feat, Environmental Control (Darkness) +1
[00:24] Ataru: 9 +6/+1 +6 +6 +3 Speed +1, Heightened Sense (Sight) +1
[00:24] Ataru: 10 +7/+2 +7 +7 +3 +3 Character Points, Improved Initiative Feat
[00:24] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, you TELEPORT.
[00:25] Stratagemini: finally get those CP?
[00:25] Ataru: all of that is actually useful
[00:25] Pale_Wolf: And you're going to land some severe punishing with the all-out-attack chance.
[00:26] Stratagemini: definitely going for a more coyote/loki/anansi type character here.
[00:26] Stratagemini: prankster.
[00:26] Pale_Wolf: Think you'll want to level up your attack and learn Flurry?
[00:26] Ataru: hmm
[00:26] Ataru: worth thinking about
[00:26] Ataru: you know what's sweet?
[00:27] Pale_Wolf: If you've got that, you don't need to find some strange second trick to do damage.
[00:27] Pale_Wolf: Like Griselda punching people then using a sword.
[00:27] Ataru: at level 11, I get blind fight, AND another rank of jump
[00:27] Pale_Wolf: But then again, you could just buy a one-point alternate attack :P
[00:27] Stratagemini: you can fly!
[00:27] Ataru: that's another 10 damage for leap attack XD
[00:27] Pale_Wolf: Fuuuuck, Sanshi ain't the killer no more.
[00:27] Ataru: ypu
[00:28] Ataru: err yup
[00:28] Ataru: leap attack at level 11 will be +32 for me
[00:28] Ataru: that's in addition to my regular damage, and possible sneak attack damage (which I'll be getting a free boost in)
[00:29] Ataru: people are gonna fuckin 'splode
[00:29] Pale_Wolf: Yeah... get some more aim, though.
[00:29] Pale_Wolf: You'll wanna actually HIT.
[00:30] DCG: less naruto
[00:30] DCG: more ninja
[00:31] Ataru: my aim's not bad
[00:31] Ataru: it's my dodge ^^;
[00:31] Ataru: I just had some unlucky rolls
[00:32] Ataru: but yeah, i already boosted dodge
[00:32] Ataru: when I hit 6
[00:32] Pale_Wolf: Well, yeah, so compensate for those unlucky rolls.
[00:32] Ataru: so I'll boost more too
[00:32] DCG: hmm
[00:32] Ataru: the cp helps a lot
[00:32] DCG: now how do to a cartrage system
[00:32] Ataru: anyway, I'm going to bed
[00:32] Ataru: later guys
[00:32] Pale_Wolf: See ya.
[00:32] DCG: stuiped tsuka
[00:33] DCG: your supsoed to run durning a guard shift
[00:33] Pale_Wolf: Uh, Setsuna hasn't shifted for FIVE DAYS.
[00:33] DCG: oh
[00:33] Pale_Wolf: Standing there, not moving, all the time.
[00:34] Pale_Wolf: Yeah, no guard shifts available.
[00:34] Pale_Wolf: About all I could do was surprise her and make her shoot through the wall first.
[00:34] DCG: hows that?
[00:35] Pale_Wolf: I abandoned the fleshmeats and ran through the wall opposite her.
[00:36] Pale_Wolf: Oh, and you guys DID tell Sanshi about my escape, right?
[00:36] Stratagemini: (nope!)
[00:37] Pale_Wolf: Well, Gerand better not have...
[00:37] Stratagemini: Gerand's gone.
[00:37] Stratagemini: he's a CT Researcher or something now.
[00:37] Pale_Wolf: And actually, I was just thinking at the time... Thank GOD Gerand wasn't at the meeting, to LOUDLY ask me why I didn't discorporate and escape.
[00:38] Stratagemini: Gerand wouldn't do that.
[00:38] Pale_Wolf: ... He has. Remember when we were trying to interrogate the Yamaha?
[00:38] Stratagemini: and he already told them you could discorporate. He assumed they had measures in place.
[00:38] Pale_Wolf: Yeah. Pluto.
[00:38] Pale_Wolf: Thanks for gettin' me Dead-Screamed, buster.
[00:38] Pale_Wolf: :P
[00:38] Stratagemini: see? no reason to even ask.
[00:39] Stratagemini: oh they would have sicced Pluto on you anyway.
[00:39] Stratagemini: Since you have Mind Woogieing powers
[00:39] Pale_Wolf: But she may not have been on guard, and I may not have had to run from this plane of existence...
[00:40] Pale_Wolf: Been back in less than four years, ya know...
[00:40] DCG: meh
[00:40] Stratagemini: and we wouldn't have grown more powerful. and you wouldn't have met my new character.
[00:40] DCG: i thinking spliting up the team is lameness
[00:40] DCG: along withthe time skip;
[00:41] Ataru: hey, I'm always happy for free levels
[00:41] Ataru: anyway, night for real
[00:41] Pale_Wolf: Hey, that would be my fault. I got lost.
[00:42] Pale_Wolf: If you'd wanted it to come back right away, I'd have had to scrap Tsu ;_;
[00:44] DCG: i not sure i get that come back part
[00:44] DCG: wouldnt you be kos?
[00:45] Pale_Wolf: If you'd wanted to carry the game on immediately, I'd be out, lost between the universes, and have to play someone else.
[00:47] *** DCG is now known as DCG-CartridgeLOAD.
[00:48] Pale_Wolf: Heh, having fun? I'm gonna wait and see what possibilities and such Al's got for me...
[00:49] *** DCG-CartridgeLOAD is now known as DCG-plot.
[00:49] DCG-plot: i duno how to do it
[00:49] DCG-plot: It was suposed to get pulled off with cao
[00:49] DCG-plot: but since al has us spliting up
[00:49] DCG-plot: for some unknown rteason
[00:50] Pale_Wolf: Hm, well, if you're raising Sanshi with her you're not exactly going to be strangers.
[00:50] DCG-plot: true
[00:50] DCG-plot: but thats not the same as killing people toghter.
[00:50] Pale_Wolf: I think he just meant you wouldn't work together, but I'd run that by Al and find out.
[00:54] *** Pale_Wolf is now known as WolfieBed.

Crystal Tokyo: Outward bound, Season Two

Crystal Tokyo: Outward Bound
Season Two

The Time Skip
At the end of the last session, I announced a four year time skip. This will begin shortly after Tsukasa's escape, and end after four years and change. We have at least a couple loose ends to tie up at the beginning of next session before the time skip takes place, to help everyone determine just what they'll be doing during the skip.
Mechanics wise, each character will gain 30,000 exp; all characters should thus be leveled up to level ten. At the same time, characters each get 4 cp for the completion of the Nevadan Protectorate story arc, and will have an opportunity to gain another 1-3 cp for turning in a writeup describing how their character views current and past events, people, their opinions and motivations, and how they've changed, or why they've stayed the same.. etc.
Why do a time skip?
A number of reasons. For one, the story arcs I'd originally planned to follow the Nevadan story arc, look to me like no-goes, based on the last several months of play. One just wouldn't go terribly well (the Infinity Academy instructors arc), and one (the Alliance of Free States arc) would have, in my opinion, turned into a re-run of the last dozen sessions, with fights at higher levels. I find myself entirely uninterested in running these. Also, given how long our fights tend to take, I didn't want to gratuitously burn something like eighteen to twenty-four hours on dice rolling for fights I didn't feel would offer much for meaningful advancement of characterization or plot.
Which raises the question, why not come up with something else? I thought about this.. and the problem I run into is that, at least as I've chosen to portray it, the Sailor Moon world doesn't have a lot of space for people who are more than neophytes/apprentices, but less than full powered Heroes of Justice. This is something which, as DM, I could choose to alter arbitrarily.. but I really don't wanna. I want the world I'm presenting to be internally consistent, and that doesn't include much in the way of bush league nations. It's been a thousand years.. by now, most cultures that has survived, have pretty much got their shit together. Threats that really matter to these cultures, which have obviously incorporated metahumans as major components of their military/police, have to be pretty powerful to not be a contrived joke.
The way I see it, gaining exp and leveling up isn't an edifying thing in and of itself. If people really wanted to spend their time grinding levels, they'd be playing WoW instead. So the down side, is losing some of the freedom to determine what your characters have been doing over this time period, since most of it won't be covered by detailed player interaction. Which isn't good, but I think that in this case it's worth it.
What's the deal with Tsukasa?
Two questions here. One of 'em, how could she credibly escape from the Sailor Senshi, given that the Senshi are really powerful and have been portrayed as largely competent? The answer is, the power set Tsukasa has legitimately allowed her to escape, and the Senshi have either chosen not to pursue her, or are incapable of pursuing her. If you want to know the what's and why's, ask Tsukasa, and whichever of the Senshi you think you can get an answer from.
Second question, why wasn't Tsukasa GNC'd once she'd been declared persona non grata in Crystal Tokyo? If I hadn't already planned a time skip, she would have been. She would have lived on in game, but been NPC'd if she'd ever returned. With the time skip taking place, it seems to me that it'd be criminally lame to not at least give her the option of trying to get back with the party, given the opportunity it presents. Especially since her return had the potential to dovetail reasonably well with the ideas I'd had banging around for what to do next.
So.. what's happened in the last four years?
A lot happens in four years. Largely speaking, it's a lot of nothing as far as the world is concerned. But some fairly important things do happen now and then, some of which the characters aren't directly involved in. Crystal Tokyo has established regular diplomatic relations with the Protectorate of Nevada and the Alliance of Free States, with embassies in Carson City and Chicago, but have not established embassies in the United States of Texas, the Confederacy, or New England. The UST invasion of the AFS continues, but has been pushed back almost to pre-war borders by AFS offensives. The Protectorate of Nevada mounted an offensive against the recently discovered Yamaha tar sand refinery at Provo, eradicating the majority of the remaining Yamaha presence west of the Rockies.
Protectorate of Nevada
Drawing on the obvious issues the Protectorate had during the Yamaha invasion, the Senate has tightened it's control over the Protectorate as a whole, centralizing everything it can get it's hands on, especially the militias. With the location of Provo provided by Sailor Venus, the Senate mounted an offensive with sufficient numbers to grind under the vastly superior but numerically lacking Yamahas, captured Provo, and have begun making gasoline available in useable quantities.
At the same time, interest in Crystal Tokyo has spread throughout the Protectorate. Rumors are all over the place, but the effectiveness demonstrated by Sailor Venus' aides, honor guard, and herself personally in opposing the Yamahas has done a lot to buy goodwill. The limited merchant marine the Protectorate possesses is ramping up to make ocean crossings for trading and potentially tourist purposes. While there's a certain amount of concern over technological differences, and the sheer degree of violence Venus demonstrated in handling the Yamaha leadership and their chapters, the overall mood in the Protectorate is one of cautious optimism that association with Crystal Tokyo will be for the best.
Alliance of Free States
The Alliance was already hunkered down for an extended war when it was first discovered by Venus' staff, and it hasn't really changed. The nation as a whole has been whipped up to focus on pretty much one thing and one thing alone: it's continued survival. The AFS was glad to accept diplomats, but remains somewhat hesitant to engage in diplomacy.. while the advantages of pulling another nation in on their side are obvious (and the nature of the UST alone makes this argument somewhat compelling), CT diplomats have been very hesitant to seriously consider entering this war, for a wide variety of reasons. This makes the Alliance somewhat nervous, as the disasterous flip side of the coin would be Crystal Tokyo allying with the UST.
United States of Texas
Not all that much is known about the inner workings of the United States of Texas. One of the first “requests” made, once diplomatic channels were opened, was that no foreign metahumans whatsoever enter UST territory. Concerned with the exposure a purely human embassy would face, Crystal Tokyo has declined to establish one. Crystal Tokyo has thus done it's communication through the Confederacy. The UST has made it clear that it feels it's war against the AFS is entirely justified, and one of self-defense in response to incessant raiding and small scale guerilla actions. Which the AFS, of course, denies outright.
The Confederacy
The Confederacy is a vassal state of the UST. Supposedly this was a result of a war which took place over two decades ago; there is vast discontent with the UST occupation, and especially with the UST's use of their resources (and people) in their ongoing war with the Alliance of Free States. The Confederacy has publicly declined to allow Crystal Tokyo to establish a proper embassy, but diplomatic officials have been allowed to operate out of temporary locations, and have rented a hotel to use in the mean time.
New England
There's a lot of second hand information about New England available from the Alliance of Free States, but it's all very much dated. Newer information has been hard to come by, as requests to establish diplomatic relations with NE have been (for more than two years now) met with the reply that this request has been “taken under consideration”, and the request that New England's territorial boundaries be respected by foreign nationals until such time as relations are established. AFS contact with New England centuries ago left them with the impression that NE is a despotic Thaumocracy, ruled by magical might.
Crystal Tokyo
What's changed the most in Crystal Tokyo is public opinion. The population as a whole has been bombarded with new things to worry themselves about, with not just one, but five other North American powers to consider. All manner of concerns have been aired over how Crystal Tokyo will relate with the outside world. Concerns over CT's influence on it, it's influence on CT, how the current state controlled economy will interface with what appear to be free markets, whether CT has an obligation to offer medical or technological aid to other cultures, whether CT should involve itself in foreign wars, should CT have even involved itself in the Nevadan conflict... etc, etc.
Despite Sailor Venus' overwhelming success against the Yamahas and the purported friendliness of the Nevadan Protectorate, there's an undercurrent of fear. Tsukasa's conviction was the proof everyone needed that the Crown and Senshi would continue to uphold the law, and that metahumans wouldn't be exempt. Her escape on the other hand, was a disquieting reminder that the Crown and Senshi are powerful, but not invincible. As well as a reminder of the Black Moon attacks three decades past, and the Wiseman affair centuries ago. These are not the sort of things the citizens of Crystal Tokyo wanted to find themselves thinking about as they step out into the rest of the world, but they are nonetheless.

[18:09] Sheena: ok fine, but thats making me give up cooking
[18:09] Sheena: and you guys never tried my pizza yet.
[18:09] Alathon: On one hand, Tsukasa was denied clemency by the Crown Inquest, and scheduled for execution. On the other hand.. today's holovision news report mentions her escape.
[18:09] * Fumiko puts on Kajiura Yuki - The Wolrd
[18:09] Alathon: As well as pictures of her from various angles, and directions that citizens of Crystal Tokyo should treat her with extreme caution.

[18:10] Alathon: you're gonna have to give up most of at least one of those skills
[18:10] Sheena: (ya ya,)

[18:11] Alathon: At this point, the three of you are in the common room.. Tsukasa's escape has just been announced.
[18:11] Alathon: Nobody else is there.
[18:11] * Mani frowns.
[18:11] Fumiko: (Cooking comes under teh Seduction skill doesn't it? I mean the way to a man's heart is through his stiomach...)
[18:12] Mani: (I thought it was between the ribs.)
[18:12] Sheena: "Im really not to suprised..."
[18:12] Alathon: ((yeah, and you don't need anything other than pick pockets, because everything can be rationalized to be a pocket of space, right?))
[18:12] Kuonji: "Tsukasa-san... escaped? The senshi?"
[18:12] Fumiko: (Maybe that was a man's heartburn then?)
[18:12] Fumiko: (no pick pocket anymore. it's now slieght of hand)
[18:13] Fumiko: (Caolinn quit?)
[18:13] Kuonji: (.... you're an idiot.)
[18:14] Kuonji: (Did you leave early last game because you weren't playing?)
[18:14] Kuonji: (Cao=Mani)
[18:14] Fumiko: (Yeah, I knew that. I meant Cao isn't coming back after the time warp?)
[18:15] Kuonji: (...)
[18:15] Sheena: (you really are an idoit)
[18:15] Sheena: (she isnt hiding undercao any more)
[18:15] Alathon: ((they're the same person, Mani was using an assumed name. This was discussed at length.))
[18:15] * Mani drums her fingers rapidly on the table. If she had a tail right now, it'd definitely be swishing from side to side.
[18:15] Fumiko: (oh, yeah. mooncat. I reemember now)
[18:15] Alathon: Tsukasa doesn't appear.
[18:16] Mani: (Is anyone else going to do or say more?)
[18:17] Fumiko: (Anyone gonna talk about the escape?)
[18:17] Kuonji: "Do you think... She'll show up?"
[18:17] Alathon: ((apparently there really weren't any loose ends to tie up.))
[18:17] Mani: "Not if she's smart."
[18:17] * Mani scowls.
[18:17] Kuonji: "Well, considering what she did in front of Venus-sama..."
[18:17] Mani: "If she knows what's good for everyone, she'll go far away and never return."
[18:18] Alathon: The holovision will drone on, with talking heads discussing the implications of blah blah blah...
[18:18] Kuonji: "Not much we can do either way, I suppose."
[18:18] Sheena: "Stuiped girl, i figered she would at lest let em kill her first."
[18:18] Fumiko: (... what?)
[18:19] Sheena: (you shut up)
[18:19] Fumiko: (kill her before she escapes?)
[18:19] * Mani grumbles, "Unless she actually comes here."
[18:19] Sheena: (last time she "died" her body fades away)
[18:19] Sheena: (easy fake death)
[18:19] * Kuonji looks a little uncomfortable: "So... What are the standing orders if we do encounter her?"
[18:19] Mani: (I'm pretty positive the execution wouldn't leave enough of her for that.)
[18:19] Pale_Wolf: (Sadly, I can only save myself from death like that in cases of plot-shielding, I think)
[18:20] Mani: "We don't have any."
[18:20] Alathon: (which could lead you to conclude either she was stupid, or didn't feel that was an option))
[18:20] * Sheena looks around for a bit.
[18:20] Pale_Wolf: (Unless Al says otherwise)
[18:20] Sheena: "Well if she was around, i asume she would mental knock like last time."
[18:20] Mani: "I'm actually kind of surprised a senshi hasn't come here just in case."
[18:20] Sheena: "We follow her last wishs any way, and take care of of sanshi"
[18:20] * Mani ponders.
[18:20] Alathon: There aren't any Senshi in evidence.
[18:20] Sheena: "Oh, im sure we are being listened to or watched in more then one way"
[18:21] * Sheena shurges
[18:21] Sheena: "Kinda a given ya know?"
[18:21] Mani: "If she were to come here when we don't have any instructions about her, I think I'd feel obligated to try to capture or disable her."
[18:21] Pale_Wolf: (... Can't ya just FEEL the love?)
[18:22] Kuonji: "There's really nothing else we could do."
[18:22] Fumiko: (The peace the evening brings?)
[18:22] Mani: (Yep. Love for CT. :p )
[18:23] Fumiko: (So, anything more in present time? or is it time to do the time warp again?)
[18:23] Sheena: "I would calmly file a report at the local security office, And try ont to laught at the panic it causes once they figer out the names"
[18:23] Sheena: (stop talking please?)
[18:24] Sheena: "Any way... What not?"
[18:24] Mani: (now?)
[18:24] Sheena: "Do we head back to the mission?"
[18:24] Pale_Wolf: (Ya know, Tsu might suggest that herself if she developed a sense of humour about it...)
[18:24] Sheena: (yes now...)
[18:24] Mani: "I have no idea. We'll have to wait for instructions."
[18:24] * Mani gets up and paces around the room.
[18:24] * Kuonji rubs his forhead and sighs
[18:25] Alathon: Nothing happens.. no instructions are forthcoming.
[18:25] Alathon: Though you aren't promptly ordered to vacate your temporary lodging either.
[18:25] Sheena: "Any one have ideas on taking care of a gaint cat beast? Sanshi is at lest a "big boy" so that takes care of most of the problems"
[18:26] Pale_Wolf: (Yeah, thank the gods Tsu got him past the breastfeeding stage :P )
[18:26] Sheena: (... huh?)
[18:26] Sheena: (the catgirl can handle that!)
[18:26] Pale_Wolf: (Have fun Fumiko.)
[18:26] Mani: (Sickos.)
[18:27] Kuonji: (lol)
[18:27] Mani: "I don't know... I can't really think of that right now."
[18:27] Fumiko: (The moon cat is closer in physiology.)
[18:27] Fumiko: (And I'm a fox-girl)
[18:27] Sheena: "Well lets leave a message for venus, and get some sleep. Its been a long day"
[18:28] Mani: (I think it's morning.)
[18:28] Kuonji: (it's morning)
[18:28] Pale_Wolf: (It's _already_ been a long day :P )
[18:28] Alathon: It is midday-ish by now, but yeah.
[18:28] Sheena: (didnt we wait around for a while before gettin called in?)
[18:28] Sheena: (my bad)
[18:28] Mani: (No, we just heard it on the news when we got up.)
[18:28] * Mani sighs.
[18:28] Sheena: (k)
[18:28] Alathon: it's the next day.
[18:28] Sheena: (woot!)
[18:28] Kuonji: (heh)
[18:28] Fumiko: (Yay!)
[18:29] Mani: "I wish she'd just accepted her sentence."
[18:29] * Kuonji blinks
[18:29] Sheena: "Eh? Why the heck would you want that?"
[18:30] Alathon: ((wow, what a pal.))
[18:30] Kuonji: "I suppose if she never comes back, there won't be much of a difference. Tsukasa-san did not seem the type to start terrorizing innocents."
[18:30] Pale_Wolf: (Yeah, I'm starting to get nervous of contacting you guys...)
[18:30] Sheena: "I just wonder what the hell she said to screw herself like that."
[18:30] Mani: "Because it's all of our duty to serve the Queen and Crystal Tokyo."
[18:31] Fumiko: (Well, that's a reall bousom buddy there ain't it?)
[18:31] Pale_Wolf: (Yeah, I think that's what put me in this mess to start...)
[18:31] Mani: "And even though I like her, that doesn't mean she's allowed to break the law as she pleases and escape any punishment."
[18:32] Sheena: "I stil dissagreee withthe breaking the law part, But only becaus of the target"
[18:33] Mani: "Nevertheless. She submitted herself to the Queen's judgement and her mercy. And then when she doesn't like the result (which I don't blame her for), she just says, 'To hell with you,' and runs away."
[18:33] Sheena: "Thank fully i dont have to think of stuff like that in battle, it's just comes down to how much i leave behind"
[18:33] * Sheena laughts a bit
[18:34] Sheena: "I really can't see tsuka saying "To hell with you" like that."
[18:34] Mani: "She may not have said it, but that was the message."
[18:35] * Mani shakes her head.
[18:35] Mani: "I don't know about anyone else, but I'm fully willing to die for my Queen and country."
[18:36] Sheena: "Die? Sure. Kill? You betya. Be killed by? eh... that would have to be a judgement call on the sceen. It's really not somnething i want to think about"
[18:36] * Kuonji remains quiet
[18:36] Mani: "I trust her, and it, not to do something like that unless they truly believed it was for the good of the people."
[18:38] Sheena: "I don't want to sound mean caochan, but thats not something you will ever have to worrie about"
[18:38] Mani: "Maybe that's why."
[18:38] Sheena: "me tho.. Well yuuno's full of stories of what this little rocks done long long ago."
[18:38] Mani: "Rock?"
[18:38] Sheena: "Now i feel i need to worrie about being locked up one day."
[18:39] * Mani shakes her head.
[18:39] * Sheena pulls the small dark heart gem out of her top
[18:39] Mani: "Any of us here is more than capable of mass slaughter and destruction."
[18:39] Mani: "It's not what you're capable of. It's what you do."
[18:39] * Sheena looks over at ninja boy
[18:40] Sheena: "hmmm..."
[18:40] Kuonji: "...What? Is there something on my face?"
[18:40] Sheena: "Ya, true."
[18:40] Mani: "You don't even need any special powers to do horrible things."
[18:41] Sheena: "true, any way.. Im not waiting around all day again. lets put some calls out"
[18:42] Sheena: "need to check the bank to.. Can't keep sanshi in a condo, that means a home, and lots of room.."
[18:42] * Sheena sigh
[18:42] Sheena: "Good thing i can fly now"
[18:42] Mani: "Why? We've been waiting around for a week already."
[18:42] Mani: (Since this all started)
[18:42] Sheena: "I ment permentaly."
[18:42] *** Rockman_Zero has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[18:43] Kuonji: "I believe Sheena-san means long term."
[18:43] Sheena: "Can we ever bring sanshi back on missions with us? if not he needs a home"
[18:43] Mani: "Oh, sure. But without knowing what we're going to be doing next, we can't really make plans."
[18:43] Sheena: "And if any one connects him with tsuka, .. well its best to be outa town"
[18:43] Sheena: " ya ya, Just got a mind full of random ideas now"
[18:44] Mani: "Ok."
[18:44] Alathon: You'd realize immediately that the connection will be made by pretty much anyone associated with the Infinity Academy, as well as at least a few dozen CT Marines you've worked with.
[18:44] Alathon: Plus dozens of others who have seen them together and might or might not remember.
[18:44] Sheena: (right, hench the outa town coment.)
[18:44] *** crystlshake has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[18:44] Sheena: (or in the more open parts)
[18:45] * Mani frowns and sends a text message to Venus asking for instructions in case Tsukasa shows up.
[18:46] Mani: "May as well settle what we're supposed to do if we see Tsukasa and remind them of our existance."
[18:47] Sheena: "Venus was rather upset all this had to happen to start with, she may not want to see us yet."
[18:47] Mani: "'Call the police.'..."
[18:47] Sheena: (or is stil drunk)
[18:47] Sheena: "What?"
[18:47] Mani: "That's what she says to do if we see Tsukasa."
[18:47] Sheena: "Ok..."
[18:48] Sheena: "So we are on our own thill venus decides to do something with us i guess"
[18:48] Kuonji: "It appears Venus-sama is of the same mind as Sheena."
[18:48] Mani: "I guess so."
[18:48] Sheena: "We left the normal service, and the acadmy long ago, She's basical our only boss with now"
[18:49] Sheena: (*right)
[18:49] Sheena: "Well, looks like its time for thoes long term plans. so..?"
[18:49] Mani: (Have we told Sanshi anything yet?)
[18:49] Alathon: Not as far as I know
[18:49] Sheena: (us no, his still in my room)
[18:50] *** Switchblade has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[18:50] *** Switchblade is now known as Sanshi.
[18:50] Sheena: "It's been a day, lets go fill sanshi in"
[18:50] Mani: "Yeah..."
[18:50] * Kuonji nods
[18:52] Sheena: (Sanshi your moms a horrable person who ran away, oh and shes a bad kisser)
[18:52] Pale_Wolf: (;_;)
[18:52] Sheena: (hmm,)
[18:52] Kuonji: (lol)
[18:53] Pale_Wolf: (And you can't blame me for being limp-fish! TELL me first and I'll do better!)
[18:53] Sheena: (haha)
[18:53] Alathon: You'll find Sanshi where he was left; Tsukasa hasn't returned to extract him.
[18:54] Sheena: (hmm, i really dont know how to tell a gaint cat monster his mom left)
[18:54] * Mani lets Sheena do the talking.
[18:54] Sheena: (crap!)
[18:54] Mani: (Well, you played with him more.)
[18:54] Sheena: ( i tossed rodents at him!)
[18:54] Mani: (So we're in agreement.)
[18:55] * Sheena walks over to sanshi and pets him a bit
[18:55] Sheena: "(so sasnhi hows the weather? Oh ya your moms dead)
[18:55] Sheena: "Sanshi..?"
[18:55] * Sanshi sniffles and looks up. "She-miss?"
[18:57] Sheena: "Tsuka's left for a bit, And i don't know when she's going to get back"
[18:57] Sheena: "But she did promise you right?"
[18:57] * Mani purses her lips but doesn't say anything.
[18:57] * Kuonji winces
[18:58] * Sanshi perks up slightly, perhaps sensing something in the air. "Yeah! Mommy did!"
[18:58] * Kuonji looks relieved
[18:58] Sheena: (you should have noted that Sheena has zero family and lives with a talking ferret, she dont do people)
[18:58] Sanshi: (Little kid's perceptive. He realizes the somber air about her execution passed :) )
[18:58] Kuonji: (she do animals?)
[18:59] Kuonji: (you did say she lives with a ferret... pet with benefits?)
[18:59] Rockman_Zero: (ewww! >_<;)
[18:59] Sheena: "Now Sanshi, The people in the city are very worried about what you mom did. So from no one don't talk about her to strangers ok?"
[18:59] Mani: (They're all perverts here.)
[18:59] Sheena: (yarrow just stoped talking to you)
[18:59] Sheena: (ill hunt you down with a chainsaw)
[18:59] Sheena: (theres a slight defernce in reactions)
[18:59] * Sanshi nods firmly. "Okay!"
[19:00] *** Fumiko has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[19:00] Sheena: "Now the tree of us are going to take care of you from now on, And guess what? No more glowing wierdo"
[19:00] Sheena: (tree? Heh THree)
[19:00] * Kuonji chuckles at the refrence to Gerand
[19:01] Sheena: "Problem is, It looks like we are on our own for a while, Venus don't want to deal with us right now."
[19:01] Sheena: "So we need to decided what to do."
[19:01] * Sheena scratchs her head a bit
[19:01] * Sanshi nuzzles her. "Okay, stay with!"
[19:01] Alathon: Yuuno pops his head out.
[19:02] Alathon: Yuuno: "You could wash your hair, for one! It's getting whiffy in here."
[19:02] Sheena: "at lest i do, These bums got homes and stuff"
[19:02] Mani: "I'm ... not really on the best of terms with my family right now... and I don't have a place of my own.
[19:03] Sheena: "What was that? It sounded like, "Hey toss me in the washing mechine"
[19:03] Sheena: "hmm,"
[19:04] Sheena: "Well Sanshi's with us. so..."
[19:04] Alathon: Yuuno: "Eep!"
[19:04] Alathon: Yuuno hides in the stinky hair.
[19:04] Kuonji: "I lived at home before entering the acadamey, so I don't really have a place of my own either"
[19:05] Mani: "Lived at home? Where else would someone live?"
[19:05] Sheena: (What to do? Sheena and mani would be well off from there work so far.)
[19:05] * Sheena waves
[19:05] Kuonji: "Rather, I lived with my parents."
[19:05] Pale_Wolf: (Plus, rooming with two hot babes... There's a sight better than living with your parents)
[19:05] Alathon: ((you'll be well off in four years.. right now you're making good money, but have only been doing so for a few months))
[19:05] Sheena: "goverment housing, i wouldnt really call it home"
[19:05] Mani: "Oh. And you don't want to stay with them again?"
[19:06] Mani: (Watch the wacky hijinks when these three very different roommates try living together with their giant cat beast!)
[19:06] * Kuonji shrugs "It's not that I mind, but I would like to be... a bit more independant."
[19:06] Alathon: ((between you, you three each have fairly impressive earnings))
[19:06] Alathon: ((If you wanted to rent a large place, you could. Right now, buying a large place would be beyond your means.. for the first couple years at least.))
[19:07] *** Fumiko has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[19:07] Sheena: ((how usefull for magical genius be? For money that is)
[19:07] Mani: (Or if we managed to stay someplace as part of our jobs, it's free. ;) )
[19:07] Fumiko: (What I Miss?)
[19:07] Pale_Wolf: (Welcome back. Last line?)
[19:07] Sheena: (im taking a bunch of ranks in it)
[19:07] Fumiko: [21:57] <Sheena> "But she did promise you right?"
[19:07] Fumiko: [21:57] * Mani purses her lips but doesn't say anything.
[19:07] Fumiko: [21:57] * Kuonji winces
[19:07] Alathon: ((not very in Crystal Tokyo.. potentially very useful in New England))
[19:08] Sheena: (bah there money is useless tho.)
[19:08] Alathon: ((keep in mind that the levels will be gained over the years..so what you're doing right now, has to be based on what you had at lvl 6 ;p ))
[19:08] Sheena: (duh)
[19:09] Alathon: Anyways.. you'll have time to do assorted minor tasks, and won't receive a request to meet with Venus until late in the day.
[19:09] Alathon: The meeting request is for tomorrow at 10am
[19:09] Alathon: Location is in the common room across the hall.
[19:10] Mani: (Anyone have anything they want to do before then?)
[19:10] Fumiko: (nothing here.
[19:11] Kuonji: (nope)
[19:12] Sheena: (i can't think of anything)
[19:12] Mani: (Ok, let's skip ahead, then.)
[19:12] Sheena: (all tho i do need to stuff yuuno i that washing mechine)
[19:12] Fumiko: (that can be done off screen)
[19:14] Alathon: You succeed in stuffing Yuuno in a washing machine. He'll actually die from it, but come back a couple months later.
[19:14] Pale_Wolf: ("... Oops?")
[19:14] Mani: (And be your new nemesis. :D )
[19:14] Alathon: ((you can choose to skip that if you want, actually, was operating on the assumption you were genuinely pissed at him for interjecting when you were trying to break the news to Sanshi))
[19:14] Alathon: ((You'd already know from past misadventures that Yuuno 'bounces back'.))
[19:14] Sheena: (it was kinda joke..)
[19:15] Alathon: Yuuno get spun around for a couple minutes before being yanked out, then.
[19:15] Alathon: He does smell a bit nicer than before.
[19:16] Sheena: (oh good)
[19:16] Alathon: When the time comes, Venus will arrive on time, at ten am sharp.
[19:17] * Mani gets there slightly early.
[19:17] * Kuonji does as well
[19:18] Alathon: There are still comfy chairs around a coffee table; Venus takes a seat in one.
[19:18] Mani: (And in a moment of exceptionally poor judgement, even for him, Gerand attends.)
[19:18] * Mani sits once Venus does.
[19:18] Alathon: ((you were all standing around? ;p ))
[19:19] Alathon: Venus looks around the group.. how do people look?
[19:19] Fumiko: (no he doesn't, he's been reassigned)
[19:19] Alathon: Venus looks.. well, not particularly anything. Certainly not happy.
[19:19] Mani: (Mani was. She's still agitated. :) )
[19:19] Sheena: (Like she has a lot on her mind)
[19:20] Sheena: (with freashly washed hair as well, damn complaning ferrets)
[19:20] * Kuonji looks clean, well groomed, alert, and slightly nervous.
[19:20] Sheena: (with the best hair in the room)
[19:20] Alathon: Venus: "I want to make one thing crustacean clear from the outset.. when I said to 'have faith', I said that in.. well, good faith."
[19:21] Fumiko: (Crustacean???)
[19:21] Kuonji: (Venus: Sakura, what do you use in your hair, it's beautiful!)
[19:21] * Mani looks a bit tightly wound, like she wants to do *something*.
[19:21] Alathon: ((she'll get to that, her hair does look a little limp ;p ))
[19:21] Kuonji: (lol, several thousand years and she's still fucking sayings up XD)
[19:22] Alathon: Venus: "I didn't know how Serenity would rule, any more than you all did."
[19:22] Mani: (Your hair would be a distant second if I were in my true form. :p )
[19:22] Sheena: "None of us blame you Lady Venus, at lest not now.. I was thinking in lots of smaller words yesterday"
[19:22] * Sheena sighs
[19:23] Alathon: Venus waits a moment for further reaction.
[19:24] * Mani doesn't react, obviously not having a problem with the queen's judgement.
[19:24] Alathon: Venus takes a deep breath, and sighs.
[19:24] * Kuonji shifts uncomfortably but remains silent
[19:24] Alathon: Venus: "With that said, I'll understand entirely if any of you wish to discontinue your work with me."
[19:25] Kuonji: "I have no problem remaining in your service, Venus-sama."
[19:26] Alathon: Venus looks to Sheena and Mani.
[19:26] Sheena: "I did think about it, but im not leaving."
[19:26] Mani: "I don't have any problem."
[19:27] Alathon: Venus honestly seems a little surprised by this, but the look passes quickly.
[19:28] Alathon: Venus: "Well.."
[19:28] Alathon: Venus: "In that case, there is work to be done."
[19:28] Alathon: Venus pauses.
[19:29] * Mani relaxes a bit when work is announced.
[19:29] * Sheena raises her hand
[19:30] Sheena: "There is one member on the team not here Lady venus"
[19:30] Alathon: Venus: "And before we go any further, I'll reiterate what I told Mani yesterday.. as far as I'm concerned, your only obligation of Tsukasa should show up is the same obligation any other citizen of Crystal Tokyo has.. to notify the police, so we can handle the affair."
[19:30] Alathon: Venus pauses again.
[19:30] * Kuonji nods
[19:30] Alathon: Venus: "I'm guessing you don't mean Gerand?"
[19:30] * Mani coughs so as not to laugh.
[19:30] Sheena: "Large, 4legs, cat ears, Senshi feels he needs to be a "big boy" now. I guess we should treat him as such"
[19:31] Alathon: Venus pauses.
[19:31] Sheena: "At the very lest I will have to take care of him,"
[19:31] Alathon: Venus: "Would that be.. right? I know he's a lot smarter than the average cat, but.. is he competent to make decisions like that?"
[19:32] Sheena: "I would place mental age from 8 to 10, He can't go into battle any more, but he can handle himself rather will with normal life"
[19:32] Alathon: Venus: "Take care of him, certainly. Ask him to fight for us.. yes."
[19:32] Alathon: Venus nods at Sheena.
[19:33] Alathon: Venus: "As long as the complicated affairs are handled for him?"
[19:34] Sheena: "Ya, i have to say i was very relived when Sanshi told me he was potty trained"
[19:34] Alathon: Venus: "Right.. well."
[19:34] * Sheena smiles a bit at that.
[19:34] Pale_Wolf: (Give Venus the job!)
[19:35] Sheena: "You have it right, as long as complicated stuff is handled"
[19:35] Alathon: Venus: "One possibility would be to place him at the Infinity Academy."
[19:35] Mani: (She'll just assign us to it. :) )
[19:35] Alathon: Venus: "We don't know if he'll achieve human-comparable intelligence.. and if he does, that would be the right atmosphere for him."
[19:36] Sheena: (hey wolf, is you cant smartor what?)
[19:36] Pale_Wolf: (He's already at the intellect of a human youth)
[19:37] Alathon: Venus: "Any better ideas?"
[19:38] Mani: "Not without knowing what we're going to be doing next."
[19:38] Alathon: Venus: "I might add that I'll make sure the officework gets done to confirm Sanshi as a Citizen of Crystal Tokyo in his own right, rather than as an adjunct of... Tsukasa."
[19:38] Sheena: "The less people that know of that connection the better for sanshi."
[19:39] Alathon: Venus is a little surprised by that.. then nods in understanding.
[19:39] Alathon: Venus: "I suppose so.. though that wouldn't be an option at the Academy."
[19:39] Sheena: "Speaking of.. Probly shouldnt bug you about this but. We really dont have any place to live. Now if we are heading right back to work i guess thats not a problem"
[19:39] Alathon: Venus: "It might make sense to wait a few months first..."
[19:40] Sheena: "But we left the base and whent right into field work"
[19:40] Alathon: Venus: "Ahh.. well, you've got these rooms in the mean time. And as for the next assignment.."
[19:41] Alathon: Venus: "Well, that depends."
[19:41] * Sheena 's staff hand twitchs a bit wanting to blow somethign up
[19:41] * Kuonji perks up at the mention of an assignment
[19:42] Alathon: Venus: "To be clear, your last assignment is pretty much done. Another couple weeks stationed in Erickson as a precautionary measure would probably be best, but I'm doubtful you'll see any further action."
[19:43] Alathon: Venus: "Yesterday, I was informed by the Nevadans that no less than five 'chapters' of riders have been discovered slain in the last week."
[19:43] Alathon: Venus: "All of them by fire, by the looks of it."
[19:43] Mani: "Hm."
[19:43] Sheena: "We ran into that as well"
[19:44] Alathon: ((you did tell her that previously in your report back before the whole Tsukasa thing, right?))
[19:44] Sheena: (yes)
[19:44] Alathon: Venus nods.
[19:44] Sheena: (that is if she reads our stuff)
[19:44] Alathon: Venus: "Not terribly subtle, assuming it's what it looks like.. someone tying up loose ends."
[19:44] Mani: (And Tsukasa mentioned him in her description of the rider's memories.)
[19:45] Kuonji: (fuck... my ipod won't charge)
[19:46] Alathon: Venus: "Regardless... that particular threat seems to be abating."
[19:46] Alathon: Venus: "And with one of the main rider hosts annihilated and their leaders mostly slain, the Senate's being a bit less cowardly in their assignment of Crimsons."
[19:47] Alathon: Venus frowns.
[19:47] Alathon: Venus: "'And mind you, that assessment of the Nevadan Senate's intestinal fortitude need not be advertised."
[19:48] * Kuonji blinks
[19:48] Mani: "Yes, ma'am."
[19:48] Sheena: "Of corse,"
[19:48] * Sheena nods
[19:49] Kuonji: "Right."
[19:49] Alathon: Venus: "Regardless.. stepping back and looking at the so-called big picture, here's what we have."
[19:49] Alathon: Venus: "One disorganized nation state which we pretty much completely bailed out."
[19:50] Alathon: Venus: "And at least four other nations on the same continent, with two of them purportedly at war."
[19:51] Alathon: Venus pauses for a moment, then addresses the group in a more questioning sort of voice.
[19:51] Alathon: Venus: "How do you feel about our.. intervention.. in Nevadan affairs?"
[19:51] Mani: "In what way?"
[19:52] Sheena: "All of the outlaying town would have been wiped out had we, mostly you, not cut down the number of rides the way we did"
[19:52] Alathon: Venus nods at Sheena, then looks questioningly at Mani.
[19:53] Alathon: Venus: "In a 'how do you feel' way."
[19:54] Mani: "I feel we accomplished something worthwhile, both for the people in Nevada and for Crystal Tokyo."
[19:54] Alathon: Venus nods.
[19:54] Alathon: Venus: "I agree, on both counts."
[19:55] Alathon: Venus: "And I'm not entirely sure closing out all those thugs was even the larger of the two.. not in the scheme of things."
[19:55] Alathon: Venus: "Consider this... to the Nevadans, we are the Other. The Them. And we're "those people" who possess vastly superior technology.. among that, military technology."
[19:56] Alathon: Venus: "But by employing it, and ourselves, as we did.. we're 'those people" who stuck up for 'em, and fought their battles."
[19:56] Alathon: Venus: "I don't think we could hope for a better position when it comes to establishing permanent relations."
[19:56] Alathon: Venus: "However..."
[19:57] Alathon: Venus: "What we did went far beyond the bounds of anything that would normally be termed a diplomatic visit."
[19:57] * Mani nods.
[19:57] Alathon: Venus pauses here, to see if anyone has anything to say.
[19:57] Mani: "It sets the scene for an uneven relationship."
[19:58] Alathon: Venus nods.
[19:59] Alathon: Venus: "It does."
[19:59] Sheena: "There going to be scared of us, in some way or another"
[19:59] Alathon: Venus: "And I think both sides of the equation matter.. sure, we saved their bacon, but that only goes so far."
[19:59] Alathon: Venus nods to Sheena.
[20:00] Alathon: Venus: "After all, how's that saying go... Gratitude is just a lively expectation of putting out?"
[20:00] Sheena: (new one to me)
[20:00] Alathon: Venus: "We've established what we can do for them.... or to them."
[20:00] * Kuonji blinks
[20:00] Alathon: Venus: "And lest it need be said.. no, that's not a nice way to think about it."
[20:01] Alathon: Venus: "But we live in the real world.. and the real world demands realpolitik."
[20:01] * Mani ponders.
[20:01] Kuonji: "It's an important thing to keep in mind."
[20:01] Alathon: ((I think the original saying was, lively expectation of repayment))
[20:01] * Sheena smiles uneasly
[20:02] Sheena: "We didn't do to hot on our first shot at politiks"
[20:02] Sheena: "Looked good, smiled a lot, but couldnt think of a dang thing to say when srounded by people"
[20:02] Alathon: Venus: "True. Mediocre, at best."
[20:02] Alathon: Venus: "But don't kid yourself.. it could have gone much, much worse."
[20:03] * Mani nods solemnly.
[20:03] * Sheena nods
[20:03] Alathon: Venus: "Especially that "chance" meeting with Trebek."
[20:03] Mani: "I'm just very, very glad that Gerand wasn't with us then."
[20:03] * Sheena shudders
[20:04] Kuonji: "Yes, Gernand and diplomacy sound.... messy."
[20:04] Alathon: Venus shakes her head.
[20:04] Kuonji: "Venus-sama... if you don't mind my asking, how did he get this assignment in the first place?"
[20:04] Alathon: Venus pauses, looking slightly abashed.
[20:05] Alathon: Venus: "Well.."
[20:05] Mani: "It looked good on paper?"
[20:05] Sheena: "Lost a bet?"
[20:05] Fumiko: (Didn't she explain that there's weren't a lot of Meta's around?)
[20:05] Alathon: Venus: "He did well in frontier work, and your assignment in Erickson was very much similar."
[20:06] Alathon: Venus: "And honestly, there just aren't that many truely combat capable metas available, and I felt.. correctly, I might add.. that you would benefit from the backup."
[20:07] Mani: "That's true. I never said he wasn't good in combat."
[20:07] Alathon: Venus: "And no, none of the reports issued by his superiors previously indicated the.. personality traits.. you experienced."
[20:07] Kuonji: "Not very good at stealth, common sense, or logic though."
[20:07] Alathon: Venus shrugs.
[20:07] Alathon: Venus: "The first, at the very least, is easily forgiveable."
[20:08] Alathon: Venus: "If you're asking if he was some yahoo who got kicked over from frontier duty for trying to mate with mutacows, no, he wasn't."
[20:08] Sheena: "Im finding white magical uniforms not very stealthy myself"
[20:08] * Mani snorts.
[20:08] * Kuonji snickers
[20:09] Fumiko: (MATE WITH WHAT?!?!?)
[20:09] * Sheena mumbles about abused steak
[20:09] Mani: "I'm sure none of us thought that anyone who wasn't expected to help the mission would be assigned to it."
[20:09] Alathon: Venus frowns.
[20:09] Sheena: (bad wording?)
[20:10] Alathon: Venus: "I might add that in the field, it's not terribly productive to allow such problems to fester. They should be addressed in a timely manner."
[20:10] Alathon: Venus says this facing Mani.
[20:10] Alathon: Venus: "And at least part of that means helping someone who obviously needs.. direction.. rather than trying to shove them out of the way."
[20:11] * Kuonji thinks the drapes look mighty interesting all of a sudden
[20:11] * Mani cocks her head.
[20:11] Mani: "Yes, ma'am. I already admitted I didn't handle matters well."
[20:11] Alathon: Venus nods.
[20:12] Alathon: Venus: "Fair enough. Knowing is half the battle, and all."
[20:12] Alathon: Venus: "Now, moving on.."
[20:12] * Mani frowns as she remembers hearing a Nevadan waiter say that.
[20:12] Mani: (She got an expression right--run!)
[20:13] Sheena: (You can't run, thats like deviding by zero)
[20:13] Alathon: Venus: "Our efforts in the Protectorate of Nevada went well beyond the scope of normal diplomacy... but they were, in my estimation, the right choice."
[20:13] Mani: (Well, we *did* graduate f rom Inifinity Academy... ;) )
[20:13] Alathon: Venus: "For multiple reasons."
[20:14] Alathon: Venus: "Based on my assessment of events in Nevada, I believe we'll need to expand the scope of External Affairs operations extensively."
[20:15] Alathon: Venus: 'As well..In the long run, I suspect that we'll expand beyond what a single organization is reasonably capable of handling."
[20:16] Alathon: Venus: "Mind you, in the short run this won't be the case... but in the years to come, yes."
[20:16] Alathon: Venus: "We will need an organization that handles robust implementation of our foreign policy."
[20:17] Alathon: Venus pauses a moment for reaction.
[20:18] * Mani looks a bit thoughtful.
[20:18] Sheena: "More work, with more people, and a side of ass kicking when needed. About it right?"
[20:19] Alathon: Venus: "Sort of."
[20:20] Alathon: Venus: "Largely, we'd like to avoid blatantly military operations.. which is, I might add, part of why this wouldn't be the Marines job."
[20:20] * Sheena nods
[20:20] Kuonji: "So... Black Ops?"
[20:21] *** Sanshi has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[20:21] Alathon: Venus: "Jupiter and I have discussed this at length, and while she isn't keen on the idea of forming what amounts to a pseudomilitary force.. she's even less keen on the idea of trying to turn her Marines into that pseudomilitary force."
[20:21] Sheena: "It sounds like something i want to be apart of. And if you will still have us?"
[20:21] Pale_Wolf: (Don't mind me, canning the extra window for now)
[20:21] Alathon: Venus, to Kuonji: "In some cases. Not military black ops, those would stay within the Marines."
[20:22] Alathon: Venus: "But we need options short of outright war and military deployment."
[20:22] Alathon: Venus, to Sheena: "I would."
[20:23] Alathon: Venus: "I might add that this is not likely to be a steady string of fights. We're also very much concerned with our lack of knowledge of the North American continent.. and the rest of the world, for that matter."
[20:24] Alathon: Venus: "This as-yet to be named organization would likely end up two parts espionage, one part operations."
[20:24] * Mani nods.
[20:24] Alathon: Venus: "Mind you, that's our initial assessment. We'll need to see how things play out."
[20:24] Pale_Wolf: (... Wait, is she saying you get to think up your OWN cool name?!)
[20:24] Sheena: "Beats a desk job, eh caochan?"
[20:25] Kuonji: (do we get 00 classificatuons? ;p)
[20:25] Kuonji: (classifications)
[20:25] Alathon: ((heh, possibly.. but that'd be out of character. naming it,t hat is))
[20:25] Sheena: (handing sheena a licence to kill would be a very BADTHING)
[20:25] Mani: "That's for sure."
[20:25] Alathon: ((No, you're not british. only the british get to be 00's))
[20:25] Mani: (She'll get a learner's permit to kill.)
[20:25] Sheena: (heh)
[20:25] Fumiko: (does britain still exist?)
[20:26] Kuonji: (But england might all be dead, and I'm sure Venus has seen a Bond movie or two)
[20:26] Alathon: Venus: "To be honest, I see you three more on the operations side, though Kuonji clearly has competences in the espionage arena as well."
[20:26] * Kuonji glows at the praise
[20:26] Alathon: ((you don't know, you haven't visited, or asked anyone who'd know.. or had any reason to do either, for that matter ;p ))
[20:26] Mani: (Stop that! :) )
[20:26] Mani: (A glowing ninja... sheesh.)
[20:26] Kuonji: (huuuur)
[20:27] Sheena: "With pratice... Remember Kuonji, No wierd magic to protect you this time."
[20:27] Alathon: Venus faces Kuonji, and raises one eyebrow.
[20:27] Kuonji: "I could always steal that staff of his... Err.. Did I say that out loud?"
[20:28] Kuonji: "Kidding, of course."
[20:28] Fumiko: (YOU can't steal his staff!)
[20:28] Pale_Wolf: (And now why am I seeing a culture that formed itself with James Bond movies as its holy scripture up in England?)
[20:28] Alathon: Venus: "Of course. With judgement like his, he obviously needs it more."
[20:28] Alathon: ((because you're stoned))
[20:28] Kuonji: (better then one based on 1984... which is the way they're currently heading)
[20:28] Fumiko: (But it would be amusing...)
[20:28] Alathon: Venus: "Anyways.. all of this is very much up in the air."
[20:29] Mani: (England has gone back to the faeries.)
[20:29] Alathon: Venus: "I doubt I'd head it in the long run.. External Affairs itself will have to extend our diplomatic operations extensively as it is."
[20:29] Alathon: ((The english mutated into faeries.))
[20:29] Kuonji: "If you didn't head it, who would?"
[20:29] Pale_Wolf: (Of course not! Tsukasa'll head it! :P )
[20:29] Alathon: Venus pauses for a moment, considering-like, then speaks.
[20:30] Fumiko: (Faeries with bad teeth.)
[20:30] Alathon: Venus: "This is by no means hard-and-fast, but most likely, Princess Usagi."
[20:30] * Mani blinks.
[20:30] Mani: "Oh."
[20:30] Fumiko: (Chibi Usa?)
[20:30] Alathon: ((And yes, she's been growing for the last 25 years))
[20:30] Pale_Wolf: (Woo! New Senshi!)
[20:30] Fumiko: (Another red head!)
[20:30] Alathon: ((that would be common knowledge))
[20:30] Sheena: (pink)
[20:30] Mani: (For the last 25 years? She must be *huge* by now!)
[20:30] * Kuonji holds back a groan... maybe a transfer wouldn't be all that bad
[20:30] Pale_Wolf: (Start training for body-double, Kuo!)
[20:30] Sheena: (dark lady as a boss? oh boy)
[20:31] Fumiko: (close enough)
[20:31] * Mani glances at Kuonji.
[20:31] Fumiko: (You're fired! Literally!)
[20:31] Alathon: ((heh, she's not Dark Lady in this sphere of existance ;p ))
[20:31] Alathon: ((but she's not a total ditz either ;p ))
[20:32] Fumiko: (you sure she's raised by Usagi then?)
[20:32] Sheena: "I know nothing about the princess but what they teach in school"
[20:32] Alathon: Venus notices Kuonji's expression, and stifles a giggle.
[20:32] Alathon: Venus shrugs at Sheena.
[20:32] Alathon: Venus: "Well.. she's done some work with all of us, really. Myself, Mercury, Mars, and lately Jupiter."
[20:33] Alathon: Venus: "I'm sure you'll have an opportunity to meet her in the years to come."
[20:33] * Kuonji stifles a sob
[20:33] Kuonji: (cursed, cursed I tell you!)
[20:34] Alathon: Venus: "And yes, I'm certain your hair will.. well.."
[20:34] Alathon: Venus grins.
[20:34] Alathon: Venus: "We'll see, won't we."
[20:34] Sheena: "Compire shampoo brands?"
[20:34] * Kuonji slams his head on the coffee table
[20:34] Sheena: "eh.. sorry to easy"
[20:34] Fumiko: (Heh. Nice one sheena)
[20:34] Alathon: Venus laughs briefly.
[20:34] Kuonji: (least she didn't mention the eyes too)
[20:35] Alathon: Venus: "Alright then.. you have at least some idea of what we'll be working toward at this point."
[20:35] Alathon: Venus: "Are you all on board?"
[20:35] * Kuonji groans. "Yes, Venus-sama."
[20:36] Mani: "Yes, ma'am."
[20:36] * Mani looks quite interested.
[20:36] Sheena: "Ya, im in for the longhall"
[20:36] Fumiko: (Fumiko's in)
[20:36] Alathon: Venus: "Oosha!"
[20:36] Alathon: Venus pumps her arm in victory.
[20:37] * Sheena grins at that
[20:37] Alathon: ((is there anything else anyone feels they need to do in the past?))
[20:38] Sheena: (mani's problems)
[20:38] Sheena: (and.. thats about it)
[20:38] Kuonji: (I'm good....
[20:38] Kuonji: (though I need to run to the store ^^;)
[20:38] Mani: (That's nothing that needs to be played out.)
[20:39] Kuonji: (scratch that, I'll go in the morning)
[20:39] Mani: (I suppose there's nothing particular that needs to be done.)
[20:40] Fumiko: (nothing here.)
[20:40] Alathon: Alright.. the record skips.
[20:40] Alathon: For a while, you (the players) hear the theme music from Rent playing for a while..
[20:40] * Sheena replaces the niddle
[20:41] Alathon: "Five hundred twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes.. how do you measure.. a year in your life..."
[20:41] Mani: (Four year food break? :) )
[20:41] Fumiko: food break sounds goo.
[20:41] Mani: (Enjoy your goo.)
[20:42] Alathon: ""In daylight, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.."
[20:42] Alathon: "In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.."
[20:42] Alathon: anyways, yeha, 10 minute food break
[20:42] Sheena: am i going to need to kill shit?
[20:43] Alathon: very possibly
[20:43] Sheena: fixed my skills by the way, there +5 now.
[20:43] Alathon: for both attack and defense? You might wanna consider slanting 'em towards attack
[20:43] Alathon: given that you've spent cp for armor and a shield on the defense
[20:43] Alathon: and keeping in mind that the max rank for a combat skill at your level is 13
[20:44] Fumiko: All my skills that were +9 are now +13 by the way.
[20:44] Sheena: at 3 each its a lot lower
[20:44] Alathon: er
[20:44] Alathon: the max for the skills is the same, regardless of cost
[20:44] Alathon: if your aim sucks, you're gonna have trouble with people your level who are good at dodging
[20:45] Alathon: or maybe cough up some CP for highly skilled
[20:45] Sheena: thats what my write up will be for.
[20:46] Sheena: years spent targeting shooting on and off better be good for somethign
[20:46] Sheena: I a third grader can bounce a can 90 times...
[20:46] Sheena: *if
[20:46] Alathon: that third grader wasn't good at anything else, remember? she didn't have anything she felt made her special!
[20:46] Alathon: she obviously put a lot of sp in combat skills
[20:47] Alathon: and that extra training? obviously cp spent on Highly Skilled, for more sp to dump into Ranged Special ATtack
[20:48] Pale_Wolf: And she levelled fast.
[20:48] Fumiko: Sent you an updated Char sheet with my new Skill points, and the abbreviations you asked for.
[20:50] Mani: Do we get to roll to see who survives the CT judicial system over the next 4 years?
[20:51] Alathon: No, because you've officially joined the dirty tricks squad
[20:51] Alathon: unless fumiko wants to find someone with mind control or telepathy and mimic it
[20:51] Fumiko: Nope!
[20:51] Fumiko: Telepathy isn't too bad, if it's just recieving.
[20:52] Alathon: too bad they can't ressurect Hoover to be your boss
[20:52] Fumiko: J. Edgar?
[20:53] Kuonji: why would we want a paranoid transvestite?
[20:53] Mani: Herbert.
[20:53] Kuonji: oh
[20:54] Sheena: usa as boss? thats more screwed up then venus
[20:54] Mani: Why? What do you know about a grown up Usa?
[20:54] Kuonji: I know I'd prefer Saturn ^^
[20:55] Sheena: nothing
[20:55] Fumiko: that's cause you're in lust with her.
[20:55] Mani: So what's wrong with it, then?
[20:55] Sheena: but so long as a kid? now grown up and in charge of her own magical girl swuad?
[20:55] Sheena: Nothing
[20:55] Alathon: Well, obviously she's gonna co-opt you and stage a coup d'etat
[20:56] Alathon: oh wait, wrong universe
[20:56] Fumiko: maybe Usa'll be a great boss... willing to tolerate little mistakes like mind control.
[20:56] * Sheena hides his plot
[20:56] Fumiko: after all, Dark Lady.
[20:56] Alathon: sorry for the delayin restarting
[20:56] Alathon: putting stuff together in my head
[20:56] Mani: I'm sure she'll be a good daughter and carve out her own empire somewhere outside of CT.
[20:57] Fumiko: in north america obviously. for the glory of the emipre of usa.
[20:57] Kuonji: U.S.A, USA, coincidence? I think not
[20:58] Fumiko: heh.
[20:59] Mani: We meet our new teammate, Fumiko, and all get a very bad feeling as she looks eerily like Gernad in a wig.
[20:59] Fumiko: nope. I'm all woman baby.
[21:00] Mani: I'll take your word for it.
[21:00] Kuonji: so... Gerand post op?
[21:00] Fumiko: nope. no glowing.
[21:00] Kuonji: lol, after 4 years, he finally finished surgery and hormone therapy
[21:01] Mani: He did a Sovann and fumbled a spell.
[21:02] Alathon: anyways... four years passes about like four years.. pretty quickly really, when you're busy
[21:02] Alathon: and you've been busy
[21:02] Sheena: (you just dont know what yet, heh)
[21:02] Rockman_Zero: <@Alathon> Venus: "'And mind you, that assessment of the Nevadan Senate's intestinal fortitude need not be advertised." <_ And I laughed. :)
[21:05] Alathon: The first most-of-a-year was spent acting as Venus' "honor guard".. first during ongoing talks in Nevada, then later when Venus established relations with the Alliance of Free States.
[21:05] *** Sheena has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).
[21:05] *** DCG has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[21:05] Pale_Wolf: (I have yet to get any credit for that.)
[21:05] Alathon: ((last line?))
[21:06] Kuonji: (of course not, your enemy of the state)
[21:06] Mani: (Turn yourself in and it can be your epitaph.)
[21:06] *** DCG is now known as Sheena.
[21:06] Sheena: rocks spam
[21:06] Rockman_Zero: (Sorry, I though the game was finished.)
[21:07] Fumiko: (nope.)
[21:07] Sheena: k gtg
[21:08] Alathon: [21:05] Alathon: The first most-of-a-year was spent acting as Venus' "honor guard".. first during ongoing talks in Nevada, then later when Venus established relations with the Alliance of Free States.
[21:08] Alathon: alright
[21:08] Alathon: another eight months or so were spent dragooned into instructor duty at the Infinity Academy
[21:09] Alathon: at least partially because there just wasn't any real need for "operations" at the time.
[21:09] Alathon: what questions do people have about either of these chunks of time?
[21:09] Kuonji: ("God damn brats. I hear one more Princess joke, and they're all building poison immunity the HARD way!")
[21:09] Sheena: we get a place to live? and what about sanshi?
[21:10] Mani: Do we play much of a role when we're her honor guard, or are we more just for show this time?
[21:11] Kuonji: (christ, my cat is going crazy)
[21:12] Fumiko: does Mani keep the name caolinn?
[21:12] Sheena: (not to you)
[21:13] Alathon: More for show this time.. Venus is slow to commit you to an outright war.
[21:13] Alathon: And outside of the southern edge of the AFS, things are generally pretty quiet and under control.
[21:13] Mani: We'll try not to commit her to one, also. ;)
[21:13] Alathon: It's a civilized nation.. not nearly as technologically advanced, but they generally have their shit together
[21:14] Kuonji: (when do we liberate Boston? >_>)
[21:14] Alathon: Each state has an assembly of chapter heads, which elects a representative to speak for them on a national level.. and to make macro level decisions during times of duress, such as now.
[21:14] Alathon: Probably never, h onestly. You'd need one helluvan army
[21:15] Kuonji: (...)
[21:15] Kuonji: (I hate you.)
[21:15] Kuonji: (Oh, actually... what's california a part of?)
[21:15] Fumiko: (hey, we're not liberating NYC either)
[21:15] Alathon: It's within the scope of hte possible
[21:15] Sheena: the ocean
[21:15] Alathon: California sank into the ocean
[21:15] Kuonji: (WOOT)
[21:16] Kuonji: (/me does a victory dance... oh, I'm totally vacationing at Arizona Bay)
[21:16] Alathon: as far as the UST is concerned, that was obviously God's Will
[21:16] Alathon: as for sanshi
[21:16] Sheena: (ya blame usagi,)
[21:16] Alathon: have been discussing with pw
[21:19] Alathon: It's hard to tell if Sanshi has grown more intelligent, or has just become better at managing his understanding of the surrounding world.
[21:20] Alathon: His speech has gotten better, and he's accumulated more knowledge
[21:20] Alathon: but it's not obviously clear whether he's become more intelligent.. and there's no way to know what a normal rate of growth is for his species.
[21:20] Alathon: Since he's the only member of it.
[21:20] Kuonji: (has Mani had to give him the "talk" yet?)
[21:20] Alathon: Given that he's the only member of his species, probably not.
[21:21] Alathon: The odds of him finding a date are slim.
[21:21] Kuonji: (some people (or mooncats) are probably into that sort of thing)
[21:21] Sheena: (shut up)
[21:21] Kuonji: (heh)
[21:21] Alathon: Honestly.. you'd have to reach pretty far to find someone with that particular deviancy in a population of only six million.
[21:22] Alathon: And Sanshi isn't going on tour.
[21:22] Pale_Wolf: (Don't worry Sanshi, Mommy'll make a girlfriend for you right quick!)
[21:23] Fumiko: (...)
[21:23] Kuonji: (lol)
[21:23] Alathon: ((and she won't be a dunce like eve and lead you into sin, either!))
[21:23] Fumiko: (there's just so many things wrong ith that...)
[21:25] Sheena: (crap so much of my shits fucked up)
[21:26] Kuonji: (What if God smoked cannabis, had a bong and rode the bus)
[21:26] Fumiko: (drove a tie died microbus? and he subscribed to rolling stone?)
[21:27] Alathon: so..
[21:27] Alathon: any other questions about those two periods of time before I move on?
[21:27] Kuonji: (nope)
[21:28] Fumiko: (none)
[21:28] Mani: (Not really.)
[21:29] Alathon: alright
[21:30] Alathon: after that, woudl have come a roughly six month campaign in Nevada, assisting the Crimsons and Nevadan regulars in the approach and capture of Provo.. not to mention the near eradication of the Yamaha presense on this side of the Rockies.
[21:30] Alathon: It would be obvious at this point that Venus is taking a rather heavy hand in Nevadan affairs.. and that the Nevadans are going for it.
[21:30] * Sheena cries
[21:30] Sheena: (my magics so screwed up)
[21:31] Alathon: bah, why?
[21:31] Alathon: ((honestly, we're not gonna get to a fight this game I think anyways))
[21:31] Alathon: ((so we'll discuss it after))
[21:31] Sheena: (my points have been wrong for a while, im redoing all my math.)
[21:31] Sheena: 9k)
[21:31] Alathon: ((and yeah, I did notice that you had 2 pt defects on your spells for 'requires focus' rather than taking the magic 'focus' limitation, for half ep cost))
[21:32] Alathon: Nevada is at this point ramping up their merchant marine, which have previously been very limited.. just coastal trawlers.. so they can begin trans-oceanic trade.
[21:33] Alathon: This is actually going a bit faster than it is on the CT side.. because everything on the CT side has hover tech incorporated, and it just doesn't work well on water.
[21:33] Kuonji: (umm... hover not work on water?)
[21:33] Sheena: (last i checked hover works damn well on water)
[21:33] Alathon: ((a hovercraft uses bigass fans and a skirt.. not the stuff that makes CT vehicles hover))
[21:34] Alathon: ((CT, unfortunately, does not have any 20th century Hovercrafts in operation))
[21:34] Alathon: ((though they've been considered as an alternative to hulled craft.))
[21:34] Sheena: (and cao's first atempt at a crystal boat sank rather fast.)
[21:36] Alathon: anything anyone wants to know about this bit of time in particular?
[21:36] Sheena: (has cao snaped and killed her family yet?)
[21:37] Alathon: ((presumably not))
[21:37] Alathon: ((or if she did, she somehow avoided getting caught))
[21:37] Fumiko: nope
[21:37] Sheena: (did gerand have an "accident"?)
[21:37] Alathon: ((Not that you've heard.))
[21:37] Kuonji: (yes, did he?)|
[21:37] Alathon: ((in fact, as of your time at the academy, he was doing fine))
[21:38] Pale_Wolf: (That only means we did a good job)
[21:38] Kuonji: (damn... I didn't do anything to him?)
[21:38] Alathon: ((If you did, it was neither lingering nor permanent))
[21:38] Sheena: ( my students had to wonder why i popped into fuku when ever he came by)
[21:38] Fumiko: (We? You're somewhere in another dimension Pale. what's this we?)
[21:39] Pale_Wolf: (Counting myself part of the group)
[21:40] Fumiko: next time period?
[21:40] Alathon: ((that's a no I guess?))
[21:40] Sheena: (cant think of anything
[21:42] Mani: (No questions.)
[21:43] Sheena: (would we have been working for usa all ready?)
[21:43] Sheena: (or still venus?)
[21:43] Kuonji: (sanshi can help me work on my jump attack)
[21:43] Pale_Wolf: (Not many people who can claim to have been taught by the mightiest of cats how to pounce)
[21:43] Alathon: The next period of time.. something like a year and three quarters, would be a mix of occasional appearances with Venus when an occasion demanded an honor guard, training some of the metas that Venus' new branch/organization is recruiting in how to handle themselves -- the Marine middleman is at this point being cut out for those who aren't actually interested in joining or at least working with the Marines.
[21:44] Alathon: No, you wouldn't have been working with Usa yet. In fact, you haven't met her.
[21:44] Alathon: If you ask, she's working with the Outers.
[21:44] Kuonji: (yay, outers)
[21:44] Pale_Wolf: (... Wait, WE are training new metas what to do? The universe is doomed.)
[21:45] Pale_Wolf: (Ah well, so long as it starts with the enemies, we're all good)
[21:45] Alathon: Venus will make clear that she meant Usa might run the place in the long term.. years down the road.
[21:45] Kuonji: (it's kinda funny... all my favorite senshi are the outers)
[21:45] Fumiko: (you're one of said enemies right now Pale.)
[21:46] Fumiko: (and that brings us to present day?)
[21:46] Alathon: No real call for field ops lately.. the situations in New England and the Confederacy are purely diplomatic in nature.
[21:46] Alathon: And Venus would like to keep them that way.
[21:47] Pale_Wolf: (Hush, I'm only a criminal. No enemy of the state)
[21:47] Alathon: You wouldn't know that from how peopel talk about you
[21:47] Alathon: Tsukasa is the new boogeyman
[21:48] Mani: ("Go to sleep or Tsukasa will get you!")
[21:48] Kuonji: (eat your vegetables or Tsukasa will get you!)
[21:48] Mani: How many 'based on a true story' movies have there been about her?
[21:48] Pale_Wolf: (;_;)
[21:48] Kuonji: ("I hear if you say Tsukasa's name three times in a dark room with a mirror, she'll pop out and kill you!")
[21:49] Pale_Wolf: (Noooobody knows, the trouble I've seen...)
[21:49] Kuonji: (Tsukasa and her evil cat beast)
[21:49] Pale_Wolf: (Noooobody knows, my sorrow....)
[21:49] Alathon: Thankfully, none. One attempt was made, but as far as you know, nothing ever aired. You could guess that they just didn't have enough material.
[21:49] Sheena: (the one that lives down the block mommie? What!?)
[21:49] Mani: (Since when does that stop them?)
[21:49] Fumiko: (they couldn't get the rights)
[21:49] Kuonji: (made of stitched together mooncat parts)
[21:49] Alathon: Whether by fortune or some other agency, the police haven't leaked what they know about her.
[21:50] Pale_Wolf: (Hey, plus side of my return. They'll get a from-the-source account, if they ask)
[21:50] Alathon: The trouble with a movie about Tsukasa is that there isn't even really a story.
[21:51] Mani: (Since when does that stop them? ;) )
[21:51] Fumiko: (and since they haven't gotten any info Gerand hasn't leaked either)
[21:52] Alathon: Apparently (miraculously?) not
[21:52] Alathon: The press isn't as obnoxious as it is in the U.S.
[21:52] Alathon: They can be stepped on by the state if they get really out of line, and know it.
[21:53] Alathon: Generally speaking it's free.. but it's free press within the bounds of "will this get me smacked?"
[21:53] Alathon: policy is traditionally fair game.. personages are.. not so much. and Venus is a personage.
[21:54] Pale_Wolf: (Aren't I?)
[21:54] Alathon: Yes, but studios aren't as concerned with official reprisals from you, as they are from Venus.
[21:54] Mani: (<Alathon>Tsukasa is the new boogeyman)
[21:54] Alathon: One is at locations unknown, the other is routinely in Crystal Tokyo.
[21:55] Alathon: hrm
[21:56] Alathon: I think that pretty much covers the macro level stuff for the last four+ years.
[21:56] Fumiko: Cool. Time for RP then?
[21:56] Alathon: Which brings you to the present.. a meeting, with Venus, and Fumiko, in the Crystal Tokyo embassy in Carson City
[21:58] Alathon: You'd have met previously, but not at any length.
[21:58] Alathon: Fumiko has been employed in the same branch as you for several years, but has worked entirely on the espionage side.
[21:58] Sheena: (so fumiko isnt with tsuka?)
[21:58] Alathon: ((nope))
[21:59] Alathon: ((You should describe yourself, Fumiko))
[21:59] Alathon: ((and the general scope of your powers, since at least the basic ones would be known))
[21:59] Mani: (Am I expected to be in human form for this?)
[21:59] Alathon: ((out of character, not in character ))
[22:00] * Fumiko is a 4'5 Copper haired girl, she has a pair of leather bracelets on and has slitted pupils.
[22:00] * Fumiko is also wearing a nice red dress.
[22:01] Kuonji: (... four five?)
[22:01] Kuonji: (are you a halfling?)
[22:01] Sheena: (is very short as well.
[22:02] Kuonji: (she's supposed to be seductive... who's she gonna seduce, pedophiles?)
[22:02] Sheena: (think ranmachan short)
[22:02] *** Stratagemini has joined #CrystalTokyo.
[22:02] Stratagemini: [01:01] <Fumiko> (I can change my shape, mimic the powers of others, stretch my bodfy, and have a battle form. oh, and teh bracelets span a pair of energy chains.
[22:02] Stratagemini: [01:01] <Kuonji> (... four five?)
[22:02] Stratagemini: (Yeah, I';m short.)
[22:02] *** Ala-bot has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[22:03] Alathon: [22:01] Kuonji: (are you a halfling?)
[22:01] Sheena: (is very short as well.
[22:02] Kuonji: (she's supposed to be seductive... who's she gonna seduce, pedophiles?)
[22:02] Sheena: (think ranmachan short)
[22:03] Kuonji: (I'm talkin about strat DCG)
[22:03] Stratagemini: (And My battle form looks like a man sized 2 tailed fox)
[22:03] Stratagemini: (Anthopomorphic
[22:03] *** Fumiko has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[22:03] Mani: (man sized being...?)
[22:03] Stratagemini: (Yeah, with man posture. I'm a japanese girl. I'm short.)
[22:04] Mani: (Also around 4'5"? Or taller?)
[22:05] Stratagemini: (agh. meant 5'4")
[22:05] Kuonji: (oh -_-)
[22:06] Alathon: ((Okay, that makes a little more sense))
[22:06] Kuonji: (that's a BIG difference)
[22:06] Stratagemini: (only 11")
[22:06] Stratagemini: "Lady Venus? You wished to see me?"
[22:07] Alathon: ((might wanna change names))
[22:07] Alathon: Venus nods.
[22:07] *** Stratagemini is now known as Fumiko.
[22:07] Alathon: Venus: "New assignment. Something of both."
[22:07] Alathon: Venus looks from Fumiko, to the rest of the party.
[22:09] Kuonji: ("it's not Gerand in a skirt, is it?")
[22:09] * Sheena just wonders who the new girl is
[22:09] Fumiko: (No, Gerand was a lot taller)
[22:09] Alathon: ((you'd have met professionally))
[22:09] Alathon: ((so you'd know her name, and that she does espionage work, and what Strat said about her powers.. but not much else))
[22:10] * Kuonji waves to Fumiko "Hello Fumiko-san"
[22:10] * Sheena just nods to her
[22:10] Fumiko: (And I'd know that these were Venus' Honor guard?)
[22:10] Fumiko: "hello Minna-san."
[22:10] * Fumiko gives a polite smile and nod.
[22:10] Alathon: ((Yes.. and that they're essentially in charge of the 'operations' side of things.))
[22:10] Alathon: ((well, not so much in charge, as the first & best at it.))
[22:10] Sheena: (we are? err cool)
[22:10] Sheena: (awww)
[22:11] Alathon: ((Think John Clark / Kelly))
[22:11] Mani: (Is cat form appropriate for this, or do I need to be human?)
[22:11] Sheena: (no wiat thats good to)
[22:11] Alathon: ((It's a business occasion, going in cat form would be perceived by some people as a slight. You wouldn't know enough about Fumiko to know if she would. Venus wouldn't.))
[22:11] Sheena: (does mani ride sholders like luna and artmis did? )
[22:11] Alathon: ((That's up to the owner of the shoulders in question. In cat form they could punt her against a wall, so, it's pretty much their call.))
[22:12] Mani: (People would consider it a slight? Why's that?)
[22:12] Fumiko: "A new assignment? in Operations?"
[22:12] * Fumiko looks confused.
[22:12] Alathon: Venus shakes her head.
[22:12] Alathon: Venus: "We have a situation that's a little of both."
[22:13] Alathon: ((same reason people woudl consider it a slight to show up in a t-shirt and flip flops))
[22:13] * Fumiko looks less confused
[22:13] Mani: (So, you're saying it's not as formal to be in natural form?)
[22:13] Alathon: ((not to mention that it's consciously making yourself stand out as different.))
[22:13] Kuonji: (wellm you are naked)
[22:13] Fumiko: (hah.)
[22:14] Mani: (How can you get more formal than a beautiful fur coat? :) )
[22:14] Kuonji: (heh)
[22:14] Alathon: ((good point.. fur coats do look nice. On humans.))
[22:14] Fumiko: (if it's yours it doesn't count.)
[22:14] Fumiko: (so? This assignment?)
[22:15] Alathon: Venus: "I received a discreet request this morning, from Martin Trebek."
[22:15] Alathon: Venus: "I'm sure by now you've all heard the rumors of a number of outlying hamlets being burnt to the ground."
[22:15] Alathon: ((you have, but not from reliable sources))
[22:16] Fumiko: (Disco inferno!)
[22:16] * Fumiko nods politely.
[22:16] Alathon: Venus: "They're accurate, at least in that several villages are known to have been destroyed by fire. With no survivors, I might add."
[22:16] * Fumiko looks appalled
[22:16] Alathon: Venus: "That's several that we know of, starting somewhere between two to three weeks ago."
[22:17] Sheena: (this is after we helped em take the oil station?)
[22:17] Alathon: ((yes))
[22:17] Pale_Wolf: (Well, looks like we get to go up again

Session #17 - part 2

Session #17 - Part 2
[22:17] Pale_Wolf: (Well, looks like we get to go up against redbeard the firestarter)
[22:17] Alathon: ((that thought would certainly occur to you ;p ))
[22:17] Fumiko: (not to me.)
[22:18] Alathon: Venus: "Now, normally this would be a purely domestic matter."
[22:18] Alathon: Venus: "And strictly speaking, it should be."
[22:18] Kuonji: "I sense a but coming..."
[22:18] Alathon: Venus nods.
[22:19] Alathon: Venus: "The but is this.. things have stabilized here in the protectorate. And we like them that way."
[22:19] Alathon: Venus: "The loss of life alone is bad enough, but the potential damage this could due to affairs here is significant, given who is most likely to be blamed."
[22:19] Fumiko: (who is that? Trebek?)
[22:20] Alathon: Venus: "Under normal circumstances, people would likely assume it was what the Nevadans call a 'firebug'.. a disturbed or outright insane pyromancer. Apparently they show up on a semi-regular basis."
[22:21] Kuonji: "Lovely."
[22:21] Fumiko: (isn't that disturbing)
[22:21] Alathon: Venus: "The trouble is that, barring some sort of transportation related talent, these incidents have been taking place too far apart to be the work of a single deranged individual."
[22:21] Pale_Wolf: (Eh, it's not really that unexpected. Psychos are as likely to be metahuman as not)
[22:22] Alathon: ((and if you spend a lot of time burning stuff....))
[22:22] Pale_Wolf: (Hiya Gerand!)
[22:22] Sheena: "Renage crimsons?"
[22:22] Alathon: Venus: "That's the most likely concern."
[22:22] Fumiko: (It's not Gerand is it?)
[22:23] Alathon: ((*rolleyes*))
[22:23] Kuonji: (Please let it be gerand)
[22:23] Sheena: (if you kill yourself, do you get ariested for agravated sucide?)
[22:23] Alathon: Venus: "Of course, another culprit springs to mind as well."
[22:23] Fumiko: (not if you're dead you don't.)
[22:23] Fumiko: "Oh?"
[22:24] Alathon: Venus: "Someone we know by way of.. reports.. from a Yamaha in captivity."
[22:24] Alathon: Venus: "Who was supposedly responsible for an attack on their band, before our people --"
[22:24] Mani: "Or surviving Yamahas, for that matter."
[22:24] Alathon: Venus nods to Sheena/Mani/Kuonji
[22:24] Alathon: Venus: "-- wiped them out."
[22:24] Pale_Wolf: (I'm acknowledged! :P )
[22:24] Sheena: "Same guy as years before,"
[22:24] Alathon: Venus frowns.
[22:24] Fumiko: (yes. you're "Reports")
[22:24] Kuonji: "After all this time?"
[22:25] Alathon: Venus: "Yamahas? That honestly seems unlikely, at least from the preliminary reports I was given."
[22:25] Alathon: Venus nods to Kuonji.
[22:25] Alathon: Venus: "To my knowledge, they were largely eradicated."
[22:25] Alathon: Venus: "Did some survive.. certainly."
[22:26] Alathon: Venus: "Would they be killing entirely villages, and leaving all manner of valuables among the rubble?"
[22:26] Alathon: Venus: "Not so likely."
[22:26] Alathon: Venus: "Though it wouldn't hurt to keep them in mind.. some sort of revenge motive is, of course, a possibility."
[22:26] Mani: "Ah, valuables weren't taken?"
[22:27] Fumiko: "Do we know why someone might do this? Aside from being insane?"
[22:27] Alathon: Venus: "According to the reports Trebek provided me, from two of the villages, no."
[22:28] Alathon: Venus: "One possible reason would be a desire to hurt the Protectorate in general. Another would be to manipulate public opinion within the Protectorate."
[22:28] Alathon: Venus: "A third, less savory possibility, is that they were sacrificed for some occult purpose."
[22:29] Fumiko: "This is disturbing, do we have any leads?"
[22:30] Sheena: (have we ran into anything occult?)
[22:30] Alathon: Venus: "Trebek doesn't believe any of his people are responsible for this, and claims they're accounted for."
[22:31] Mani: (Would we have reason to think of Texas?)
[22:31] Alathon: ((this would be possible because there just aren't that many, and they're largely stationed in a handful of major cities))
[22:31] Alathon: ((no major reason, other than that they're waging a war in a relatively nearby geographic area))
[22:31] Sheena: (hello? occult?
[22:32] Mani: (Ok, I checked the log. Tsukasa did say "Blood and Souls! Blood and Souls for the LORD!")
[22:32] * Mani frowns.
[22:32] Alathon: ((that'd be a fair reason, if you went with the occult option.))
[22:32] Mani: "Wasn't there ... mention of Texas dedicating 'blood and souls for the lord'?"
[22:32] Alathon: Venus frowns.
[22:32] Alathon: Venus: "I.. believe so, yes."
[22:33] Kuonji: "Certainly puts a damper on diplomacy."
[22:33] Mani: "Do we have a map showing the villages that were razed and the order they were burned down?"
[22:33] Alathon: Venus: "Yes."
[22:33] Alathon: Venus provides a map.. five villages are marked.
[22:34] Mani: (Anything look significant?)
[22:34] Alathon: They're all in outlying areas, to the northeast, east, southeast, or south of the core of major nevadan cities.
[22:34] Fumiko: (any relation at all? pentagram pattern or something?)
[22:34] Alathon: Their doesn't appear to be any immediately obvious correlation, geometric shape, or anything like that.
[22:34] Sheena: "I see what you mean, these are far apart."
[22:35] Alathon: Though Venus points out that that'll be something to watch for emerging.
[22:35] Mani: (What are the names of the village? Or tell me if it's irrelevant. :) )
[22:36] Fumiko: "Any idea where we should start searching?"
[22:36] Alathon: Two on the northeast side were, according to reports, burned in a similar period of time.. the rest are seperated by a couple days each.
[22:36] Mani: villages
[22:36] Alathon: Doomed Village A, B, C, D, and E
[22:36] Alathon: Not literally
[22:36] Mani: (I've found the connection! :) )
[22:37] Mani: ("We should stake out this town here: Doomed Village F. I have a hunch...")
[22:37] Pale_Wolf: (Where's Doomed Village F?!)
[22:37] Fumiko: (that's where you come in Pale.)
[22:38] Alathon: ((you discover Tsukasa sacrificing Nevadans by the dozens at Village F.))
[22:38] Pale_Wolf: (;_;)
[22:38] Mani: (By the baker's dozen, Al.)
[22:38] Fumiko: (Tsu got a flamethrower then?)
[22:38] Kuonji: (village F? Is Across going to get involved?)
[22:38] Pale_Wolf: (She gets no love)
[22:38] Fumiko: (that's the city of F)
[22:38] Sheena: (she makes em play pokemon for weeks on end, and after she leavs they all bathe in the cleansing fire)
[22:38] Fumiko: (what do you mean no love? Sheena Loves you!)
[22:40] Alathon: Venus: "I'm not sure, honestly. Investigating one of the more recently burned villages might be one way to start..."
[22:41] Alathon: Venus shakes her head.
[22:41] Alathon: Venus: "The trouble here is that there's so little to go on.. and these villages are too far apart for anyone to really see anything other than a pillar of smoke."
[22:42] Alathon: Venus: "normally, this would be a strictly espionage side operation.."
[22:42] Sheena: "But this guy needs to be taken out. hard."
[22:42] Alathon: Venus: "Our "red bearded pyro" is the reason it's not."
[22:43] * Fumiko nods.
[22:43] Mani: "Was anything more ever found out about him?"
[22:43] Alathon: Venus: "I don't think Trebek takes this possibility as seriously as I do."
[22:43] Alathon: Venus shakes her head.
[22:44] Alathon: Venus: "For that matter, I think he secretly hopes all the burned riders we found after the first war were the work of individuals, and not some mastermind."
[22:44] Alathon: Venus shrugs.
[22:44] Alathon: Venus: "Which is possible, of course.. there are plenty of people with a bit of pyromancy... but.. enough to take out entire chapters of riders?"
[22:44] Alathon: Venus: "Doubtful."
[22:45] Alathon: Venus: "And no.. we don't really know much, other than what Tsukasa said."
[22:46] * Fumiko nods "Is there anything else we know? Perhaps something correlating the incidents? Messages burned in the ground? Some common thread?"
[22:46] Alathon: Venus: "Not really."
[22:46] Alathon: Venus: 'I haven't heard of such things taking place in the AFS, but, the AFS is a big place. It could be weeks before we heard."
[22:47] * Fumiko nods obviously not liking the lack of info.
[22:47] Alathon: Venus: "We don't have the same sort of relationship with their government.. it's unlikely they'd bring it to our attention."
[22:47] Alathon: Venus: "So we can't even really say difinitively that this is a series of attacks on Nevadan assets.. rather than attacks on humans in general."
[22:48] Sheena: "And if they are the ones doing it?"
[22:48] Alathon: Venus, a little incredulously: "The AFS?"
[22:49] Sheena: "No sorry, the texas people. What cao said is still in my head"
[22:49] Alathon: Venus nods.
[22:49] Alathon: Venus: "Well.."
[22:49] Alathon: Venus: "I don't know. I certainly wouldn't like it, but I.. well. I suppose it'd depend on just who was doing it. And if we could catch them in Nevadan territory."
[22:50] Alathon: Venus: "We don't have a free hand here, per se, but I'm sure the deaths of a few murdering UST nationals wouldn't be held against us by the Protectorate."
[22:50] Alathon: Venus grins.
[22:50] Alathon: Venus: "Though.. we should keep in mind that Nevada's position on the UST cannot necessarily be the same as our own.. we have the luxury of an ocean between us and them."
[22:50] * Fumiko smiles softly.
[22:51] Mani: (Bedtime soon.)
[22:51] Sheena: "Ya, Lucky them"
[22:51] Fumiko: "Alright then, when do we ship out?"
[22:51] Alathon: ((good timing, I'm about threelines from being done))
[22:51] Alathon: Venus: "Tomorrow."
[22:52] Kuonji: "What time?"
[22:52] Alathon: Venus: "At this point, this is a fact finding mission.. but it's a fact finding mission which may be encountering extremely dangerous individuals.. and which is authorized to handle them."
[22:52] Alathon: Venus rolls her eyes.
[22:52] Alathon: Venus: "After sunrise, before sunset."
[22:52] Fumiko: "So we can use lethal force then."
[22:53] * Sheena grins at that.
[22:53] Pale_Wolf: (Considering everything, I really hope Mani doesn't decide to redefine me as said 'extremely dangerous individuals' and use her authorization to handle me...)
[22:53] Fumiko: "That's a bit of a change for me."
[22:54] Sheena: "Do you even have lethal force?"
[22:54] Fumiko: "Of course I do."
[22:54] Fumiko: "i'm just generally not assigned to Operations."
[22:55] Fumiko: "So I've not needed to use it."
[22:55] Kuonji: "Better hope you aren't rusty then."
[22:56] Fumiko: "we'll see won't we?"
[22:56] * Fumiko smiles
[22:56] Mani: (Ok, I'm done.)
[22:56] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[22:56] Sheena: (cya
[22:56] Fumiko: (night Yarrow.)
[22:56] Yarrow: (Night.)
[22:56] Pale_Wolf: (Night Yarr)
[22:57] Kuonji: (night)
[22:57] Kuonji: (so, we done, or is she NPCd?
[22:57] Kuonji: )
[22:57] Alathon: well
[22:57] Alathon: there's not much else to do
[22:57] Alathon: you're free to talk/discuss, but Venus has said her part.
[22:58] Fumiko: (I'm pretty much done. How much EXP for the session?)
[22:58] Kuonji: (damn, I'd hoped tsukasa'd pop back up this session)
[22:58] Sheena: We will just stare at the newbie
[22:58] Alathon: ((.. why do you always ask that ;p))
[22:58] Fumiko: (Cause I like to keep track.)
[22:59] Alathon: ((would have liked to get there, but stuff took longer than I thought.. as usual))
[22:59] Alathon: ((and iddn't wann really fast forward... any more than I already am))
[22:59] Fumiko: This was a good ending point.
[22:59] Fumiko: though I do feel Pale's pain.
[23:00] Alathon: 2000 exp for the session

Sheena's looks have changed over the years so im posting a bit of the updated bio for the other players to read.
Bio: Sheena has changed a lot in the 4 year span. A major one that sticks out is that her eyes are now a solid dark pink. She has no irises or anything else for that mater. To others it’s very freaky, and they can’t tell where she is looking. Sheena hasn’t noticed a major change in vision. But has taken up to wearing reflective black glasses to avoid annoying questions.
Being part of Venus honor guard, and now no longer just bum around school she has started take-in better care of herself. Wearing uniforms for so long and very very long hikes on missions has affected her taste in clothes; She now likes it tight and supporting. Having filled more out then up this has the effect of showing off her body even more. .. If asked Yuuno would have sweet stories of Sheena fighting with old bras that no longer fit all the while complaining that’s she’s to old to grow up, but not to old to keep growing out. Not to be out done by the guy on the team, and to improve her image in the guard, her long main of red hair is now treated better. Well brushed and styled it falls down her back in red waves. This new mentality on looks and showing off has effected her magical uniform to some degree. It’s now less, “Look at me!” with layers, ribbons , bows, and details, its changed to a “Look at Whats under me!” With a tight form-fitting top and chocker, bare arms but large armored gloves and cuffs. Her long flowing skirt remains the same, along with her over sized rear bow, but now she can feel her underwear shift during the change to hose clad legs, proper garters, and panties. For some reason this is off set by cute but armor clad boots.

[18:09] Sakura: (wha?)
[18:09] Sheena: we? the rest of us live toghter, expect you furball
[18:09] Fumiko: (Where'd we end last time? It was a while ago.)
[18:10] Sakura: (Hmmm, I'm a little sad about the xray vision)
[18:10] Mani: (Why? Always on? :) )
[18:10] Fumiko: (That's MS. Furball to you!)
[18:10] Sakura: (I would have liked to be able to go "Venus-sama... why is there a tatoo that says "Property of Haruka Tenou on your ass?")
[18:10] * Fumiko smiles in a vulpine manner.
[18:10] Sheena: pfft
[18:10] Mani: (Since when does x-ray vision work like that, anyway?)
[18:11] Sakura: (superman :p)
[18:11] Sheena: you would see her bones,
[18:11] Sakura: (and Naruto)
[18:11] Sheena: ahem...
[18:11] Fumiko: (Selective restriction, only looks through clothing.)
[18:11] Sakura: (I DO see her bones, hence dissapointment)

[18:12] Fumiko: (Yes. We were to... what was it again?)
[18:12] Alathon: namely, an investigation of Nevadan villages which are turning up burned, citizens included
[18:12] Mani: (Am I still 'in charge'?)
[18:12] Sakura: (burned villages)
[18:12] Fumiko: (ah. that's right.)
[18:12] Alathon: ((Mani is still the Team Leader.. but keep in mind that's what you are. as opposed to, say, their bosses.))
[18:13] Fumiko: (We couldn't see a pattern in the burning, andhad no suspects except the guy from last time.)
[18:13] Mani: (Yep. Just wanted to make sure, since it has been 4 years.)
[18:13] Alathon: ((there was no obvious patterns the towns reported burned, no
[18:13] Sakura: (oh yeah, did you draw up that map?)
[18:13] Alathon: ((no, I didn't, I got wasted instead
[18:13] Fumiko: (a map of nevada?)
[18:13] Sakura: (lol)
[18:13] Alathon: there's a map of nevada available at.. uh.. lemmee see
[18:14] Alathon: (Link: http://staticchaos.webservepro.com/ctob/PoN.png)http://staticchaos.webservepro.com/ctob/PoN.png
[18:14] Alathon: those are the major cities.. there are lots of small towns and hamlets that don't qualify to make it onto the map
[18:15] Alathon: such as Northup (just north of Carson City), Erickson (a bit northeast of Fernley)
[18:15] Alathon: and others
[18:15] Fumiko: Reno makes it but Las Vegas doesn't?
[18:15] Sakura: (is there a Southdown?)
[18:15] Alathon: If there is, you haven't been there yet
[18:15] Alathon: and, Las Vegas is a lot further south
[18:15] Alathon: or would be, anyways
[18:16] Fumiko: (So let's start the session at the last place burned then.)
[18:16] Alathon: uh, no?
[18:16] Sakura: (heh)
[18:16] * Sheena slaps Fumiko around a bit with a large trout
[18:16] Sheena: stop acting like yourself and get in charter, ifyou even have one
[18:16] * Fumiko is duely slapped
[18:16] Alathon: How about you decide what you want to do ;p
[18:17] Sakura: "Sheena-san, where did you get such a large fish... we're landlocked."
[18:17] Fumiko: (We are? weren't we in carson city?)
[18:17] Alathon: We're definately in carson city
[18:17] Sakura: (eerr, there should be parentheses)
[18:17] Sheena: "I'll take you along next time i go to my test range, Lot biger fish then this float up"
[18:17] Mani: (And aren't trout freshwater fish?)
[18:17] Fumiko: (We aren't land locked...)
[18:17] * Sheena she smirks at this
[18:17] Sakura: (Nevada isn't landlocked?)
[18:18] Mani: (Not any more. ;) )
[18:18] Sheena: (Cally sank!)
[18:18] Sakura: (heh)
[18:18] Fumiko: (Nope. the west coast fell into teh ocean.)
[18:18] Alathon: dude, look at the map
[18:18] Sakura: (woot! Arizona Bay!)
[18:18] Alathon: exactly
[18:18] Sakura: (it's a png, that'll slow the fuck outta my laptop while it loads)
[18:18] Alathon: Tool so called it
[18:18] Sakura: (no, bill hicks called it)
[18:18] Sheena: (as a side note, Sheena tests out her buster shots by fireing into the ocean, ONly safe place she can really let loss at.)
[18:18] Fumiko: (Casron city's a natural harbor.)
[18:19] Mani: "Well, since we don't know which town is going to be hit next, I suppose we should check out the last one and see if we can find any clues there."
[18:19] Fumiko: (that's a fun way to fish.)
[18:19] Sakura: (Tool's a real big fan of Hicks, they dedicated an album to him)
[18:19] Sheena: (when do we meet the princes or all that lot?)
[18:19] Alathon: There's a knock on the door.
[18:19] Fumiko: "I suppose that's as good a place as any, since we don't have any other leads."
[18:19] Sheena: "Im game, a good look at the damage will shows us what we are dealing with"
[18:19] Mani: (Venus is still with us?)
[18:20] Alathon: She left.
[18:20] * Mani answers the door.
[18:20] Alathon: It's a fair bet that she'd just walk in if it were her.
[18:20] * Fumiko looks to the door.
[18:20] Alathon: It's one of the servants, they'll be serving lunch soon, and want to know if the party wants some.
[18:20] Alathon: ((You're in the Crystal Tokyo consulate))
[18:20] Fumiko: (no thanks, we'll eat Sheena's Trout.)
[18:21] Mani: "Yes, that would be fine, thank you."
[18:21] Alathon: You're informed that a table will be prepared for you.. etc etc.
[18:22] Fumiko: "So, Mani, if I may call you that, what gear will we need once we set out?"
[18:22] Sakura: (what's the spread look like?)
[18:22] Alathon: The most recently burned town is up a bith north of Fernley
[18:22] Mani: (I assume we have gear already?)
[18:22] Alathon: You do
[18:22] Alathon: formal uniform, standard ExAff uniform (tan)
[18:23] Mani: "Mani is fine. And our standard gear should suffice."
[18:23] Alathon: and any clothes you need if you don't want to be any more obvious than three redheads and a pinkhead
[18:23] * Sheena has her sunglasses on, covering her startling pink eyes.
[18:23] Fumiko: "Okay, I'm used to espionage, we change gear for each mission depending on perameters usually."
[18:23] * Sakura of course, has the bandanna
[18:24] * Fumiko can change shape
[18:24] Fumiko: (human shape too.)
[18:24] Mani: (How long should it take to get to the town, btw?)
[18:24] Sheena: (incase any of you didnt read the update, sheena eyes are now soild pink from her training, She covers em normal with a pair of shades)
[18:24] Alathon: Depends how you travel
[18:24] Alathon: You *do* have four motorcycles waiting for you in Northup
[18:24] Fumiko: (launch us vial catapult!)
[18:24] Sakura: (yuuno express?)
[18:24] Sakura: (or did he teleport not get upgraded?)
[18:24] Sakura: (*his)
[18:25] Mani: (Yeah, does Yuuno have a teleport destination near our target?)
[18:25] Alathon: and gasoline is slowly becoming available, since the oil sand refinery to the east was taken from the riders
[18:25] Fumiko: (Is sanshi with us?)
[18:25] Sheena: (BIKES!)
[18:25] Alathon: Sanshi is not
[18:25] Mani: (Since we've been here for a while.)
[18:25] Sheena: (sanshi's at home, and hopfully not playing with the stuff in sheens lab/room)
[18:25] Alathon: and, you'd have the bikes with you if you wanted to
[18:25] Sakura: (who's watching the furbal?)
[18:25] Alathon: the Academy
[18:25] Fumiko: (Bikes are cool with me. I'd rather not run there.)
[18:26] Fumiko: (that's right. Sanshi enrolled didn't he?)
[18:26] Alathon: Yes
[18:26] Sakura: (are they motorcycles, or choppers?)
[18:26] Alathon: It'll be a few days by bike, a few weeks by walking
[18:26] Sheena: (harly choppers)
[18:26] Fumiko: (Bicycles actually)
[18:26] Sakura: (sweet, Easy Rider)
[18:26] Sakura: (Wait... that film didn't end so well...)
[18:26] Alathon: and yes, they're exactly what you'd expect
[18:27] Alathon: the closest teleport point you have is outside Erickson
[18:27] Sheena: (Hey all, what would yuuno port spots be around here? oh nm)
[18:27] * Fumiko wonders if Sakura got a Kawasaki Ninja)
[18:27] Alathon: which will put you within a day's ride of where the village of Barley used to be
[18:27] Sheena: (no sakura dont)
[18:27] Sheena: (read the logs?)
[18:27] Fumiko: (was a bad joke.)
[18:28] Sakura: (wait... he wouldn't have to... he was with us, remember?)
[18:28] Mani: "Well, we could teleport to Erickson to start..."
[18:28] Sheena: (its hard tot ell your jokes from your lack of info)
[18:28] Sakura: "Sounds like a good idea, Taichou."
[18:28] Sheena: "Put the ferrent to work, all ways a good idea to me"
[18:28] Alathon: anything else you want to do here, other than get lunch?
[18:29] Mani: "And from there, we could either walk, use line-of-sight teleports, ... or use the motorcycles, I suppose."
[18:29] Fumiko: "teleportation? I guess that's nicer than walking."
[18:29] Alathon: a note on bikes.. they're semi common now, especially among the Crimsons
[18:29] Sakura: ("They're not motorcycles, they're choppers")
[18:29] Sheena: "We dont often get to use our bikes, you guys mind if we break em out for this trip?)
[18:29] Fumiko: "I'd prefer the bikes as well."
[18:29] Alathon: large numbers of them were taken when Venus butchered the Harleyrider leadership, and later at the oil sands refinery
[18:30] Alathon: so they're not totally wierd to see around
[18:30] Sheena: (the pink one is right, choppers from now on)
[18:30] Sakura: "Best to save our enerfy in case we run into trouble."
[18:30] Mani: (Sakura's is the one we painted pink.)
[18:30] Sakura: (energy)
[18:30] Sakura: (fuckers :p)
[18:30] Mani: "All right, then."
[18:30] Sheena: (... ya sheena woudl do that.)
[18:30] Fumiko: (... I am afeared.)
[18:30] Alathon: You succeeded at some point in pranking Sakura by pinking his bike ;p
[18:30] Alathon: unless he says otherwise, I'll assume he had it re-painted
[18:31] Sakura: (definitly)
[18:31] Mani: (To fuchsia)
[18:31] Sheena: (Mina talked me down from switching all his undies with panties. so we painted the bike insted)
[18:31] Sakura: (Sheena got a laxative in her next meal)
[18:31] Sheena: (my cooking is higher then yours i belive)
[18:31] Fumiko: (I'm staying away from this prank war thankyouverymuch.)
[18:31] Sakura: (it is?)
[18:31] Mani: (Obviously--Sakura's cooking makes people sick. ;) )
[18:32] Sakura: (just the people I don't like ^^)
[18:32] Sheena: (she only pranks becaus she cares,)
[18:32] Sakura: (or I'm getting back at, since it'd be inaccurate to say he doesn't like her)
[18:32] Fumiko: (You sure your Ukyou's decendant not Akane's?)
[18:32] Mani: (Ok, will we be able to reach the village before dark if we leave after lunch today?)
[18:32] Sheena: (can i spek cooking (pizza)? )
[18:32] Sakura: (lol)
[18:32] Mani: (Maybe she's both.)
[18:33] Alathon: No, but you'll be able to reach Erickson, and make it to Barley by mid-afternoon the next day
[18:33] Fumiko: (Akane and Ukyou's lesbian love child?)
[18:33] Alathon: your teleport point is a bit outside of Erickson
[18:33] Alathon: ((lesbian? you're assuming Akane stayed female))
[18:33] Sheena: (hey all did we see any action at the sands refinery?)
[18:33] Alathon: You saw lots of action
[18:33] Alathon: it was pretty fuckin' bloody
[18:33] Sakura: (can we leave the speculation of my charachter's family tree outta this?)
[18:33] Sheena: (go blender chan!)
[18:34] Alathon: the riders knew they'd lose their way of life without it
[18:34] Fumiko: (not me, I'm espionage, not operations.)
[18:34] Alathon: and the Nevadans.. well, they wanted blood
[18:34] Sakura: (many a head went spinning that day)
[18:34] Alathon: generally speaking, no quarter was asked or granted
[18:34] Sheena: (with venus, pyrograndpa, and me around hows it still standing?)
[18:34] Sakura: (I liked how that first one I got ended up impaled on a fence... that was a nice touch)
[18:35] Fumiko: (...)
[18:35] Alathon: Venus mainly used her chain scythe to take down waves of riders... and you were instructed to NOT nuke the refinery
[18:35] Fumiko: (chain scythe?)
[18:35] Sheena: (ok, just checking backstories :)
[18:35] Sakura: (venus is a ninja too? sweet.)
[18:35] Sheena: (yes, she upgraded to venus loveme chainsaw now)
[18:35] Alathon: her weapon of choice in the 31st century
[18:36] Fumiko: (... I don't know wether to laugh or cry at that pun.)
[18:36] Alathon: Anyways.. you'll reach Erickson without incident
[18:36] Sheena: "Your the best as allways yuuno"
[18:36] Alathon: Do you want to just bunk out, or try to catch up with any of the people you met previously (if they're around)?
[18:36] Alathon: Yuuno: *huffs a little*
[18:36] Fumiko: (I'm for moving on.)
[18:37] Sheena: (Ghost lady and big guy still around?)
[18:37] Fumiko: (weren't they temp mercs?)
[18:37] Alathon: If you ask the militia captain, he'll say that they both moved on when he quit paying them
[18:37] Fumiko: (how bout the engineer?)
[18:37] Sheena: (they where the only interesting people in town =\ )
[18:37] Alathon: which was something like three and a half years ago
[18:38] Mani: (Well, we could ask if they know anything about the burning.)
[18:38] Alathon: The engineer has been gone since almost immediately after your party left.
[18:38] Sakura: (hmm... that seems a tad shady)
[18:38] Mani: (Say, was the burnt village one that was razed by the Riders last time we were in Erickson?)
[18:38] Sakura: (bets he was a spy from new england stealing our tech for their society!)
[18:39] Fumiko: (new england?)
[18:39] Sheena: (thats a bit far off..)
[18:39] Fumiko: (Is it still called that?)
[18:39] Fumiko: (maybe from texas.)
[18:39] Alathon: No, Mani
[18:40] Alathon: Marlon: "Nah.. that was.. aw hell, what did they call it.. Little Whiskey?"
[18:40] Alathon: ((Marlon being the militia captain)
[18:41] Alathon: Marlon: "Nobody's moved back there yet.. people ain't too keen to move out here from 'round Carson, even with the riders all but gone."
[18:41] Mani: "Were there any survivors from Barley?"
[18:41] Alathon: Marlon shakes his head, slowly.
[18:41] * Mani sighs.
[18:41] Alathon: Marlon: "Not that I've seen or heard... an ugly thing, that."
[18:42] Alathon: Marlon: "I didn't have folks there, but a few here did."
[18:42] Fumiko: "any idea what happened?"
[18:42] Mani: "So... what do you think of all this? Any ideas?"
[18:42] Alathon: Marlon pauses.
[18:42] Alathon: Marlon: "Could be the riders, maybe, a few of 'em out for revenge.. but it'd take more'n a few to torch a whole town an' get every single man, woman, and child.."
[18:43] Alathon: Marlon: "As for what happened.. all I know, is Pete.. Pete trades in liquors, spices, and such.. anyways."
[18:43] Alathon: Marlon: "Pete headed over that way.. an' came back, and said they'd all burnt.. an the buildings too."
[18:43] Fumiko: "every man woman and child? that's either incredibly thorough or it must have happened all at once. Were there any corpses found outside the town borders?"
[18:44] Fumiko: "Did anyone have time to flee?"
[18:44] Alathon: Marlon: "I haven't heard.. there were some militia types over that way a week ago, an' according to them.. well."
[18:44] * Fumiko listens intently.
[18:44] Sakura: (obviously not... EVERY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD)
[18:44] Alathon: Marlon: "They said there were.. greasy lookin' black spots on the outskirts of the town."
[18:45] Alathon: Marlon: "An' nobodys heard a word from anyone as lived there."
[18:45] Fumiko: (no, they could have fled and been cutdown.)
[18:45] Alathon: Marlon frowns.
[18:45] * Mani frowns.
[18:45] Alathon: Marlon: "I'm guessing you can draw your own conclusions."
[18:45] Mani: "We're going to check it out tomorrow."
[18:45] Alathon: Marlon: "Glad ta hear it."
[18:45] Fumiko: "Most ominous."
[18:45] *** Strata|AFK has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[18:45] Sakura: "Sounds like we have a fire bug."
[18:45] Alathon: Marlon pauses.
[18:46] Alathon: Marlon: "That's what some folks say.. I dunno."
[18:46] *** Stratagemini has joined #crystaltokyo.
[18:46] Alathon: Marlon: "I guess it's more likely'n the riders."
[18:46] Mani: "I wish we could have gotten here sooner."
[18:46] Sakura: (Talk to pluto...)
[18:46] Alathon: Marlon: "Eh? Even with them bikes the couriers are usin', it's still, what.. better part of a week to Carson?"
[18:46] Fumiko: "You can't reduce people to greasy black spots with normal fire. Well, not in any portable weapon I know of.
[18:47] Alathon: Marlon nods slightly to Fumiko.
[18:47] Alathon: Marlon: "Yeah.. I reckon you're right."
[18:47] Fumiko: "sakura's probably right about it being a firebug."
[18:48] * Fumiko frowns.
[18:48] Mani: "We'll just have to find out."
[18:48] Mani: "Not much point in making assumptions at this time."
[18:48] * Mani sighs.
[18:48] Sheena: "Are we going to waste time trying to question who evers do this, or right to bisness?"
[18:48] * Sheena adjusts her glasses a bit
[18:48] Mani: "I just have a feeling that whoever's behind this will be able to hit more towns before it's through."
[18:49] * Fumiko looks a bit upset at that.
[18:49] Alathon: Marlon: "That's.. well, we're keepin' lookouts again. Haven't in more'n two years, but."
[18:49] Mani: "There might be more than one group. If we can question anyone, we should try to."
[18:49] Alathon: Marlon: "Better safe than fried, the way I figure."
[18:49] * Mani nods.
[18:50] Fumiko: "assuming you have time to fight back. How well armed was Barley?"
[18:50] Mani: "You might want to make plans for evacuation, too, if the worst happens."
[18:50] Alathon: Marlon shakes his head.
[18:50] Alathon: Marlon: "Armed? they wasn't, really. Oh, they had their own squad of militiamen, but I doubt they trained more'n a week a year."
[18:51] Alathon: Marlon: "Always figured they was far enough west not ta hafta worry so much about it."
[18:51] Alathon: Marlon: "Leastways, that's how I heard it."
[18:52] Fumiko: "that doesn't tell us much about the culprit's strength at all then. but perhaps it tells us something. were the other towns burned similar? in how well defended they were I mean?"
[18:52] Alathon: Marlon: "Other towns?"
[18:52] * Fumiko looks depressed
[18:52] Alathon: Marlon: "There's more'n two, now?"
[18:52] Mani: (How many have there been?)
[18:53] Fumiko: (more than 2.)
[18:53] Alathon: You know of five
[18:53] Mani: "Five."
[18:53] Fumiko: "We know of five."
[18:53] Alathon: Marlon looks vaguely sick at that.
[18:53] Sheena: "That's why we are here,"
[18:53] * Fumiko nods
[18:54] Alathon: Marlon: "Wait.. I heard of one over to the east... there're more to the south, or what?"
[18:54] Alathon: Marlon: "How long's this been goin' on?"
[18:54] Mani: (Mm, DM? :) )
[18:54] Fumiko: "Mani? What did Venus tell us?"
[18:54] Alathon: ((a few weeks))
[18:54] Mani: "A few weeks."
[18:54] * Mani grimaces.
[18:55] Alathon: Marlon closes his eyes, and takes a couple deep breaths.
[18:55] Alathon: Marlon: "Makes me wonder if word ain't made it out here yet, or.."
[18:55] Alathon: Marlon: "Well... no use worryin' on that account."
[18:55] * Sakura blinks...
[18:55] Sakura: "Or?"
[18:55] Alathon: Marlon shoots a vaguely irked look at Sakura.
[18:56] Sheena: (should we leave him a com?)
[18:56] Alathon: Marlon: "Or word ain't made it out here on purpose."
[18:56] Fumiko: "you know something?"
[18:56] Alathon: ((You don't have a spare))
[18:56] Alathon: Marlon shrugs.
[18:56] Alathon: Marlon: "Could just be the Crimsons not wanted word of one.. well, some firebug, doin' such things."
[18:56] Alathon: *wanting
[18:56] Fumiko: "one? one what?"
[18:57] Alathon: Marlon: "That's just me rambling, though.. it ain't like the old days, Trebek may be a right bastard, but he's got em on a leash."
[18:57] Sheena: "Another fire users.."
[18:57] Alathon: Marlon nods in Sheena's direction.
[18:58] Alathon: Marlon: "Still.. it'd have ta be more'n one, for sure. A whole town, by just one of 'em? I doubt even Trebek could manage that himself."
[18:58] * Mani nods.
[18:58] Alathon: Marlon: "They tire themselves out with their flamethrowing and all.."
[18:58] Alathon: Marlon: "And it'd be all too easy for a few to have slipped by just one."
[18:59] Mani: "And there'd be some survivors... Unless it was a single massive attack."
[18:59] Fumiko: "That's true."
[18:59] Alathon: Marlon: "You all be careful.."
[18:59] Alathon: Marlon pauses.
[18:59] Alathon: Marlon: "Well, I suppose I ain't hafta say that. You knew what you was doin' with the riders, that was fer damned sure!"
[18:59] * Fumiko smiles.
[18:59] * Mani smiles at him.
[18:59] Sheena: "Ya well.. that was a bit close,"
[18:59] * Sakura grins
[18:59] Alathon: Marlon grins.
[18:59] Mani: "We always try to be as careful as we can."
[19:00] Alathon: Marlon: "That was a good bit 'o work, there."
[19:00] Alathon: Marlon pauses.
[19:00] Fumiko: (he gonna ask bout Gerand?)
[19:00] Alathon: Marlon: "Say.. how's that other lady you had with you doin.. soo-casa, was it?"
[19:00] Alathon: ((no ;p ))
[19:00] * Fumiko goes stonefaced.
[19:00] * Sakura looks down at that
[19:00] Mani: (The one with the Spanish name. ;) )
[19:00] Sakura: (mi casa!)
[19:01] Alathon: Marlon: "Oh.. um, I'm sorry I asked."
[19:01] Sheena: "she's off on her own for the time being,"
[19:01] Mani: "Mmm."
[19:01] Alathon: Marlon gives Sheen a queer sorta look at that.
[19:01] * Sheena pushs her glasses a little closer to her eyes.
[19:01] Sheena: "It's not something we talk about."
[19:01] Alathon: Marlon: "Oh.. well.. don't go lookin' to rejoin her any time soon, okay?"
[19:02] Alathon: Marlon nods.
[19:02] Alathon: Marlon: "Like i said.. sorry ta re-open old wounds."
[19:02] Sheena: (eh?)
[19:02] Fumiko: (he think's she's dead?)
[19:02] Mani: "I don't think there's much chance of that."
[19:02] Sheena: (oh thinks shes dead)
[19:02] Mani: "So, how's the town been doing since we were here?"
[19:03] Alathon: Marlon perks up a little.
[19:03] Fumiko: (And teh Clever change of topic award goes to!)
[19:03] Alathon: Marlon: "Pretty well, all told."
[19:03] * Mani nods.
[19:03] Mani: "Good."
[19:03] Alathon: Marlon: "We've got more trade'n there used ta be, on account of those heading east to Provo."
[19:03] Fumiko: "Provo?"
[19:04] Alathon: Marlon: "An' they're workin' on rebuilding Easton, too."
[19:04] Alathon: Marlon: "That's what they're callin' that ree-fina-ree."
[19:05] Alathon: Marlon: "Where they suck the oil right outta the black sand."
[19:05] * Sheena wonders if the forest grew back any from her last two busters
[19:05] Mani: "Do you get much motor traffic through here?"
[19:05] Alathon: It's been four years.. there's brush, and very small trees.
[19:05] Alathon: Marlon: "More every season."
[19:05] Mani: (And a Starbucks.)
[19:05] Sheena: (coffie woO!)
[19:05] Alathon: Marlon: "It's a change, I'll tell you that.. but.. way I reckon it, it's a change for the better."
[19:06] Alathon: Marlon: "I can get a letter to Carson in less'n a week!"
[19:06] Alathon: Marlon: "That's something."
[19:06] * Mani smiles.
[19:06] * Sakura smiles as well
[19:06] Mani: "Yeah, that is a good thing."
[19:06] Fumiko: (starbucks everywhere these days...)
[19:06] Alathon: ((if only Crystal Tokyo had coffee, it could have starbucks ;p ))
[19:06] Sakura: (... no coffee???)
[19:06] Mani: (We'll get coffee when we go for the cocao.)
[19:07] Alathon: ((wrong climate to grow))
[19:07] Sakura: (How does Ami survive?)
[19:07] Fumiko: (Most advanced civilization on earth has no cofee?)
[19:07] Mani: "Does this town have any bikes?"
[19:07] Sakura: (to chew cocao leaves, or not to chew... that's the question)
[19:07] Fumiko: (Is this Usagi's fault?)
[19:07] Sakura: (energy drinks?)
[19:07] Alathon: ((didn't you bring yours?))
[19:07] Fumiko: (More of her no mindfucking thing?)
[19:07] Sheena: ( i belive we got ours)
[19:08] Mani: (Yes. I want to know if the town has any.)
[19:08] Alathon: Marlon: "We've still got a couple.. they requisitioned the rest of 'em."
[19:08] * Mani nods.
[19:08] Alathon: Marlon: "The militia that is.. for their couriers an' suchlike."
[19:08] * Fumiko nods.
[19:09] Mani: "You might want to keep them ready to go quickly from different sides of town ... in case there's trouble."
[19:09] Alathon: Marlon frowns.
[19:09] Alathon: Marlon: "Yeah... I suppose."
[19:09] Alathon: Marlon: "Maybe stick a couple of the younger guys on 'em."
[19:09] Mani: "I'd hate for anything to happen to this town or its people, but if something does, any news could save other towns..."
[19:09] Fumiko: (not to mention make our jobs easier.)
[19:10] Mani: (Yes. Don't mention that.)
[19:10] Fumiko: (Did they ever find out who torched teh harley riders last time?)
[19:10] Fumiko: (I wouldn't know enough about it to ask)
[19:10] Alathon: NOpe
[19:11] Fumiko: (Damn.)
[19:11] Sheena: (something came up)
[19:11] Fumiko: "It was nice meeting you Marlon."
[19:11] * Fumiko smiles at him coyly.
[19:11] Alathon: Marlon grins back at Fumiko.
[19:11] Alathon: Marlon: "Aye, it was."
[19:12] Fumiko: (I've still got it!)
[19:12] Alathon: Marlon: "I'm wishing you all the best of luck catching whoever.. or whatever, is as responsible."
[19:12] Mani: "Thank you."
[19:12] Alathon: You'll be offered free lodging at the militia hall for the night.
[19:12] Mani: "We'll check in on the way back, if we can."
[19:12] Fumiko: (i'll take it. Fresh start early in the morning.))
[19:12] Mani: (We take him up on the offer.)
[19:13] Fumiko: *I'd
[19:13] Alathon: The food is plain, but plentiful.
[19:13] Alathon: And the beds free of bugs.
[19:13] Alathon: Marlon nods.
[19:13] Fumiko: (is it the same soup?)
[19:13] Alathon: It's the same large pot, it's probably a different soup
[19:13] Sheena: (same pot they just keep refilling)
[19:13] Mani: (Yes, and that's where all the bugs ended up.)
[19:13] Fumiko: (they emptied it?)
[19:13] Alathon: Though there may be some fraction of last years soup still present
[19:14] Sakura: "Ah, the never ending stew."
[19:14] Sakura: "I actually kind of missed it."
[19:14] Fumiko: "never ending stew?"
[19:14] Alathon: Some of the militia types who are eating can't help but check out Mani, Fumiko, Sheena, and (unfortunately) Sakura
[19:15] Fumiko: "I don't think I want to know..."
[19:15] * Fumiko preens at the attention.
[19:15] * Sakura looks pissed
[19:15] Alathon: roll 1d4
[19:15] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=1 ]{1}
[19:15] * Sheena just brushes off her uniform a bit, same old same old.
[19:15] Sakura: (number of people that hit on me?)
[19:15] Alathon: One militiaman in his late twenties will make a pass at Fumiko later that evening.
[19:15] Mani: (Which one of us gets pestered, no doubt...)
[19:16] Alathon: He's decent looking, but nothing special.
[19:16] Fumiko: (nah, you're a guy magnet, you get 1d20.)
[19:16] Sakura: (I'm guy/girl magnet actually)
[19:16] * Fumiko will smile and turn him down politely.
[19:16] Mani: (Oh, good. I was afraid you were using the order in your last line instead of the /who listing.)
[19:16] Alathon: He'll be disappointed, but he can deal -- increased trade has made a brothel possible in Erickson.
[19:17] Fumiko: (A brothel? do we have time to stop?)
[19:17] Alathon: Well.. you'd have to know it exists.
[19:17] Fumiko: (Damn.)
[19:17] Sakura: (brothel? out in buttfuck nowhere? well, the whores probably don't have teeth... which is both a plus, and a minus)
[19:17] Mani: (If you want to wander around town on your own and go there, feel free.)
[19:17] Fumiko: (Nah, I'm tucking in.()
[19:18] Alathon: ((it used to be buttfuck nowhere, now they're actually getting some trade))
[19:18] Mani: (I so hope you mean sleep by that...)
[19:18] Fumiko: (and jiust plain getting some.)
[19:18] Alathon: Anyways.. morning comes.
[19:18] Fumiko: (Food and sleep. I need to try this "Never ending stew"")
[19:19] Alathon: Morning rolls a natural twenty and annihilates your eyes with bright rays of sunshine.
[19:19] Sakura: (all over Fumiko?)
[19:19] Fumiko: (Ow...)
[19:19] * Sheena rubs the sleep from her eye
[19:19] Alathon: The weather is beautiful, the birds are singing.. apparently neither much care about crimes against humanity.
[19:20] Sheena: (birdy; Burn monkies burn!! ahhahahaha)
[19:20] Fumiko: (...)
[19:20] * Sakura stretches and yawns
[19:20] * Fumiko gets up looking perfectly fine and beautiful as always.
[19:20] * Mani gets up and stretches.
[19:21] Fumiko: (Ah the joys of metamorph-hood)
[19:21] * Sheena reaches down her her shirt a bit and pulls out a sleeping ferret.. she tosses him to the side and reachs back in for her glasses.
[19:21] Alathon: Yuuno: "Oof."
[19:21] Alathon: Yuuno shivers.
[19:21] * Fumiko decides she'll have... Bright pink hair today.
[19:21] * Sheena with a praticed flick and snap they are back on her face, as she readjusts her uniform to a proper tight fit.
[19:22] Alathon: Yuuno: "Hey! I was warm in there.."
[19:22] Mani: "Sleep in a sunbeam."
[19:22] * Mani shrugs.
[19:22] Alathon: You'll succeed at bright pink hair.. if you want exactly the same shade as Sakura, you'll need to roll for it
[19:22] * Sheena snorts, "Says the one with fur"
[19:22] Alathon: Yuuno: "It's just not the same.."
[19:22] Fumiko: (What's challenge?)
[19:22] Sakura: (hey, she hasn't seen my hair... right?)
[19:22] Mani: "I'll take your word for it."
[19:22] Alathon: ((uh, easy?))
[19:22] Fumiko: (True)
[19:22] Fumiko: roll 1d20
[19:23] Ala-bot: Fumiko rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{17}
[19:23] Alathon: ((don't you have some ranks in disguise?))
[19:23] Mani: (What are you rolling for if you haven't seen his hair color?)
[19:23] Fumiko: (I do.)
[19:23] Alathon: Regardless, you succeed. Your hair is exactly the same shade as Sakura's.. and the same shape, if you want that.
[19:23] Fumiko: +13 for disguise
[19:23] * Sheena with her pink eyes once again hidden from the world Sheena break out a clear bottle of water and one of her small flavor packs.
[19:23] Fumiko: (Nah, that'd be overkill)
[19:24] * Sheena she takes turn chugging it with yuuno.
[19:24] Alathon: A few of the militiamen give Sheena's shades odd looks, but nobody comments.
[19:24] Alathon: ((glasses are quite uncommon))
[19:24] * Mani gets breakfast.
[19:24] Sheena: (so are soild pink orbs for eyes)
[19:24] Fumiko: (flavoured water?)
[19:24] Sheena: (Orange jusice this moring!)
[19:24] * Sakura washes up and heads down to for breakfast
[19:24] Alathon: ((wait.. sigh))
[19:24] Mani: (Yeah, we have a dental plan. ;) )
[19:24] Alathon: ((Sakura is correct, Fumiko probably wouldn't have seen his hair yet.))
[19:25] Fumiko: (personell files)
[19:25] Sheena: ((thats good, as the insult isnt ment)
[19:25] Sheena: (Like you could get them from venus? I dought it)
[19:25] Fumiko: (But yeah, it was unintentional)
[19:25] Mani: (What, you've just been snooping through our files?)
[19:26] Fumiko: (Nope. but if they were given to me Id read em. seeing as I was a new teamate I thought I'd be given a summary at least of your powers)
[19:26] Alathon: His picture includes him wearing his do-rag
[19:26] Fumiko: (Okay, unintentional then)
[19:26] Fumiko: (I just like that shade.)
[19:26] Alathon: Okay.. you all succeed at getting breakfast, getting baths, etc etc.
[19:27] Alathon: What.. do you do?
[19:27] Mani: "Ok, let's move out."
[19:27] * Fumiko follows the cat.
[19:27] Alathon: Side note.. with no ride skill, you can manage to drive the bikes as long as you're mindful, but any attempt at combat on them or maneuvers will fail miserably.
[19:27] Sakura: (I stare at fumiko's hair before pulling sheena aside and asking if she's behind it)
[19:27] Mani: (In character?)
[19:27] Sakura: (yeah)
[19:28] Mani: (Don't put it in parentheses, then. :) )
[19:28] Sakura: (sorry, I'm a tad loopy ^^;;)
[19:28] Sheena: (fix yourself then)
[19:28] * Mani leads the group to Barley.
[19:29] Alathon: When you get there.. well.. it's pretty much as described.
[19:29] Sakura: (err...)
[19:29] Mani: "Sheena, could you take an aerial look at the town?"
[19:29] Sakura: (so no retconning me pulling sheena aside?)
[19:29] Sheena: (skaura wanted to grill sheena)
[19:29] Sakura: (ah, well, he'll ask her later.. he's stewing now)
[19:30] Mani: "And be careful, everyone. I have a bad feeling..."
[19:30] Fumiko: "Well, this is pretty... burned."
[19:30] Sheena: "I don't think it will look better from up there.."
[19:30] * Mani dismounts and summons her armor.
[19:30] * Sheena heads up thill she can get a good look at the whole town
[19:30] Fumiko: "I'm goint to shift to combat form and see if I can't see anything.
[19:30] Mani: "I want you to see if it looks like this was all done by one large blast."
[19:30] Mani: (Can't she fly?)
[19:31] Sheena: (i can)
[19:31] Mani: "Or from the air."
[19:31] * Sheena yells down, "No problem)
[19:31] Mani: "Kuonji, want to scout around?"
[19:31] * Sakura nods
[19:32] Mani: "Be careful, ok."
[19:32] * Fumiko changes into a Kitsune, a three-tailed bipedal fox with a copper coat the same color as Fumiko's natural hair.
[19:32] Alathon: Fumiko can see the town very clearly.. it's very burn.
[19:32] Sakura: "Any particular direction or the perimeter?"
[19:32] Alathon: It does NOT look like it was one single blast.
[19:32] Mani: "No, whatever you think best."
[19:32] Alathon: There are scorches all over the place.. some buildings look to have been knocked from hwere they stood.. others are just burnt.
[19:33] Sakura: "Understood."
[19:33] Alathon: Well, all of them are burnt, some of them just seem to have been forced from where they used to stand.
[19:33] Fumiko: (hieghtened senses gives me +2 on vision related checks right?)
[19:33] * Sakura activates his invisibility
[19:33] Alathon: yes
[19:33] Sakura: (depends on the heightened sense... err...it's +4)
[19:33] Fumiko: roll 1d20+15 spot check for anything interesting or unusual
[19:33] Ala-bot: Fumiko rolled 1d20+15 spot check for anything interesting or unusual --> [ 1d20=8 ]{23}
[19:33] Sheena: (anything standing our from the air view?)
[19:34] Fumiko: (+4? make that +17 then)
[19:34] Alathon: ((er, heightened awareness? Or heightened sense: vision?))
[19:34] Alathon: with vision, it'd be +4 to spot, and vision related search checks
[19:34] Fumiko: (hieghtend seses sight)
[19:34] Fumiko: (So that's 25 not 23 then)
[19:34] Fumiko: do I see anythingh?)
[19:34] * Mani looks around, searching for human remains, among other things.
[19:35] Mani: (Or signs that someone buried such since the town was destroyed.)
[19:36] Alathon: You see what I described.
[19:36] * Sheena floats down to a semi safe high before cutting her powers and falling for a bit.
[19:36] Alathon: You, and Sheena, both see something else... a bike abandoned in the middle of the street, lying on it's side.
[19:36] Mani: (You? You who?)
[19:36] Fumiko: "Mani. why are some buildings moved on their foundations?"
[19:37] Alathon: You=Fumiko
[19:37] * Fumiko goes to investigate the bike
[19:37] Sheena: "It looks like a war zone caochan.. If this was one person they whent nuts."
[19:37] Mani: "I don't know, Fumiko."
[19:37] Sheena: "Or it was an attack by a group meaning to wipe this place out"
[19:38] Sakura: roll 1d20+10
[19:38] Ala-bot: Sakura rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{25}

[19:40] Ala-bot: Fumiko rolled 1d20+18 spot to see anything strange about the bike (Forgot my nat bonus last time) --> [ 1d20=15 ]{33}
[19:40] * Mani sees where Sheena & Fumiko are going.
[19:40] Mani: "Careful of booby traps."
[19:40] Alathon: If you haven't followed them, you'd have to shout that
[19:40] Alathon: since they'd be 100+ feet away
[19:40] * Fumiko takes 20 searching the bike
[19:41] * Mani gets close enough that she doesn't have to shout loudly but doesn't approach the bike.
[19:41] * Sheena felt her com buzz and beep, she got the message
[19:41] Alathon: everyone other than fumiko, roll spot

[19:45] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{5}
[19:46] * Fumiko senses something sinister and spins around.
[19:46] Alathon: You'll be spinning around to get a face fulla demon, since you were taking a 20 to search.
[19:47] Fumiko: (Damn... But I go first!)
[19:47] Alathon: Yup, in the 2nd round
[19:47] Sheena: (al did say no take 20's)
[19:47] Fumiko: So fucking fucked...)
[19:47] Alathon: You can take 20s on skill checks.. just not ones for attribute use.
[19:47] Sakura: (he did?)
[19:47] Fumiko: "Oh fuck..."
[19:47] Sakura: (when?)
[19:47] Alathon: in this case, it's more taking a 20 in a combat situation
[19:47] Sakura: (ah)
[19:48] Fumiko: "Shit! GUYS! HELP!"
[19:48] Sheena: (you wouldnt notice yet...)
[19:48] Sheena: (they are still hidding)
[19:48] Sheena: (reading is unfair to some!)
[19:48] * Fumiko has an excuse, she's not a combat oriented character! She's espionage!
[19:48] Mani: (That means you should have been better prepared. ;) )
[19:48] Alathon: Anyways, here's what happens.
[19:49] Sheena: (any way.. *hits random on winamp* err.. Dark omen from Chrono trigger, That can't be good)
[19:49] Fumiko: (He said I spin around to a face fulla demon)
[19:50] * Fumiko gets BGC2040 Konya Wa hiurricane
[19:50] Alathon: A bony monstrosity, about eight feet in height, leaps a good 10 meters into the air, intent on mashing Fumiko to a pulp.

[19:50] Alathon: Fight order: Fumiko, Sakura, ??? #1, Mani, ??? #2, Sheena
[19:50] Fumiko: (Where's Sanshi when you need him?)
[19:51] Fumiko: (I go second round though not first?)
[19:51] Alathon: Everyone other than Fumiko gets to act this round
[19:51] Sakura: (wait, I thought fumi goes first next round?)
[19:51] Sakura: (ah)
[19:51] Alathon: though Mani will need to cover a fair bit of distance to get in on the action
[19:51] Mani: (How far?)
[19:51] Fumiko: (there are two of em?)
[19:51] Alathon: around a hundred feet
[19:51] Alathon: There might be hundreds.. but you only see one right now
[19:52] Sheena: (why's blender chan all ways just out of range when we get ambushed?)
[19:53] Fumiko: (Talk later, save me now.)
[19:53] Sakura: (I'm workin on it, gimme a sec)
[19:54] * Fumiko is screaming obsenities loudly soo anyone not aware that there are enemies by now should be.
[19:54] Fumiko: (any enemies should be aware too
[19:55] Mani: (Actually, I think it's more like a moment frozen in time right now.)
[19:55] * Fumiko can scream a lot of obcenities in a frozen moment in time.
[19:56] Sheena: (fumiko is searching the bike and dont know wants coming at her, Do try to keep up)
[19:56] Fumiko: (thriller just came on Winamp)

[19:57] Alathon: roll your melee attack.. I'm assuming you're using a shadowsabre?
[19:57] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled your melee attack.. I'm assuming you're using a shadowsabre? --> error: malformed expression
[19:57] Fumiko: (That's Shack!)

[19:58] Sakura: roll 1d20+13
[19:58] Ala-bot: Sakura rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{33}

[19:59] Ala-bot: Sakura rolled 8d8+12d6 --> [ 8d8=31 12d6=40 ]{71}
[19:59] Sheena: (puts on "turtle power-Go ninja go")
[20:00] Alathon: Nobody sees Sakura jump, or attack... but everyone sees a gigantic, bony arm just sorta fly away from the demon.
[20:00] Mani: (The attack is so incredibly powerful, it goes right through the demon and then right through Fumiko, too!)
[20:01] Sheena: (71 and not dead! zomg..)

[20:02] Alathon: Roll your dodge, parry, or eat the hit ;p
[20:02] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled your dodge, parry, or eat the hit ;p --> error: malformed expression
[20:02] Fumiko: (Dodge is dex+ac?)
[20:02] Sheena: (+18? wtf )
[20:02] Alathon: It's roaring.. maybe in agony, or anger, it's hard to say
[20:03] Alathon: dodge is dex + defense combat mastery + unarmed defense
[20:03] Alathon: parry is dex + defense combat mastery + melee defense, and requires a weapon to parry with
[20:03] Fumiko: roll 1d20+5
[20:03] Ala-bot: Fumiko rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{11}
[20:04] Alathon: The bony foot wasn't terribly well aimed, but it was good enough to hit Fumiko.

[20:04] Alathon: roll 1d4+10
[20:04] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4+10 --> [ 1d4=1 ]{11}

[20:04] Sheena: (all tho i am wondering about how well these towns where checked out if they missed fucking demons!)
[20:04] Alathon: ((You might also wonder where the dude who was riding that bike went ;p ))
[20:05] Sheena: (dinner?)
[20:05] Mani: (Who says they were here before recently?)
[20:05] Fumiko: "Fuck! That hurt you asshole!"
[20:05] Fumiko: "What the hell are you by the way?"
[20:05] Alathon: Mani is up
[20:05] Sakura: (does it bleed all over her too?)
[20:05] Alathon: It doesn't bleed as far as you can tell.
[20:05] Alathon: Bone Demon #1: "xxxxx xx xxxxxx!"
[20:05] Fumiko: (Does it answer?)
[20:05] Mani: (Mm, how long would it take me to get there?)
[20:06] Sakura: (wait a sec)
[20:06] Alathon: (If you run, you'll be able to engage normally next round.. if you teleport you can get one attack off))
[20:06] Sakura: (FUCK)
[20:06] Sakura: (we left off +22 damage from the leap attack)
[20:06] Mani: (Could I tell by seeing Sakura's attack if it has any armor?)
[20:06] Alathon: ((no, we didn't.. you were leaping up to meet it))
[20:06] Fumiko: "I'm not sure what that means... but that sounded offensive!"
[20:07] Alathon: ((not leaping up, then down on it))
[20:07] Alathon: ....
[20:07] Alathon: you didn't see sakura attack, all you saw was an army just sorta fly away from it's torso.
[20:07] Alathon: though you could reasonably intuit that sakura attacked it
[20:07] Alathon: so, no, you know nothing
[20:07] Mani: (Ok, I guess I wouldn't be able to tell, then.)
[20:07] Alathon: other tahn it looks like a big friggin hunk of bone
[20:08] * Mani runs over, drawing her swords, which begin to burn with an inner light.
[20:08] Alathon: alright..
[20:08] Mani: (AP)
[20:08] Alathon: There's an explosion of rubble, and another one leaps out.. this one aiming at Sheena.
[20:09] Alathon: roll 1d20+18
[20:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{22}
[20:09] Alathon: dodge/parry/power defense?
[20:09] Sheena: (your just taunting us with thoes low rolls,)
[20:10] Sheena: (Even powered d would only give me +3
[20:10] Mani: (Oh, I activate my uniform's armor, too.)
[20:10] Sakura: (jesus, any roll over 5 and I litteraly can't beat it)
[20:10] Fumiko: (Thank the dice Kami. they'll be vengeful later otherwise)
[20:11] Fumiko: (Same here Shack)

[20:12] Alathon: roll 2d4+22
[20:12] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2d4+22 --> [ 2d4=4 ]{26}
[20:12] Alathon: It hurts.
[20:12] Alathon: Sheena's turn.
[20:12] Sheena: (no really..)
[20:13] Sheena: "First ones free, jackass"
[20:14] * Sheena slames the but end of her staff into the ground summoning her armor.
[20:14] Sakura: (Has Sheena been hanging around my grandmother?)
[20:14] Alathon: ((anything else?))
[20:15] Mani: (Uniform armor, too?)
[20:15] Sakura: (or great grandmother... or whatever... need to work out my family tree with al)
[20:15] Alathon: ((there is no tree.. it does not branch ;p ))
[20:15] Sheena: Grizle wing, going up.
[20:15] Sheena: Or is that a nother roll?
[20:15] Alathon: you can fly up normally
[20:15] Alathon: but you can't use two spells in one round
[20:17] Alathon: You make it a good 20 feet off the ground.
[20:17] Alathon: End of round, start of next.
[20:17] Alathon: Fumiko, you're up
[20:17] Sheena: moves back a abit then wait.
[20:17] Alathon: One of the bone demons is missing an arm and roaring, the other is undamaged.
[20:17] Fumiko: "You're going down you bony asshole! DEADLY CHAINS!"
[20:17] Sheena: (hmm, +22, thats a bit much in the ouch deparment)
[20:17] Alathon: ((it's a leap attack))
[20:17] Alathon: ((with a fair strength bonus))

[20:19] Mani: (Just one unless you have flurry.)

[20:25] Alathon: And then.. nothing.
[20:26] Fumiko: "Uh... that wasn't me..."
[20:26] Alathon: Though one of the ribs seemed to fall oddly.
[20:26] Sakura: (Fumiko can distintly hear a "whiif" sound)
[20:26] Alathon: Demon's turn.
[20:26] Sheena: (are thes things just bones or is there mass to them?)
[20:26] Alathon: it whirls and tries to pound the stuffing out of whoever just cut it almost in half, with a heayv kick and a wild swing of it's remaining arm.
[20:26] Alathon: They're bigass masses of bones, from the looks of it.. no sinew, or flesh.. just creaking, screeching bone

[20:49] Alathon: it'll take a successful powerlifting check
[20:49] * Mani teleports to the area where Sheena was.
[20:49] Mani: (Any attack or do I need to regain my bearings?)
[20:49] Alathon: Mani appears over by Sheena, and the pile of loosely attached bones clatter to the ground.
[20:49] Alathon: None
[20:49] Alathon: you couldn't really have targeted a teleport well enough to be in melee range whiel covered in bones ;p
[20:50] Alathon: One of the bones stays hanging in the air, then disappears.
[20:50] Mani: (Yeah, I figured I wouldn't get to attack unless I get lucky. :) )

[20:54] Sheena: (there in my way arnt they?)
[20:54] Alathon: for a spreading attack, yeha.
[20:55] Sakura: (wait, you have to turn it on?)
[20:55] Mani: (I was wondering why no one else was bothering to turn on their armor...)
[20:55] * Sheena dont need to fly off as mani shows up to rock
[20:55] Sakura: (why has no one told me this?)
[20:55] Sakura: (I thought that activating stuff was specific for their armors)
[20:55] Sheena: "Dark heart, lets try two Armor breakers this time. Cartridge Load!"
[20:55] Sheena: Roll 1d20
[20:55] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{20}

[21:03] Ala-bot: Fumiko rolled 1d20+18 to hide --> [ 1d20=10 ]{28}
[21:03] Alathon: Yes, and they have lots of megapixels too
[21:03] Sakura: (she hides behind another demon)
[21:03] Sakura: (my camera only has four ;_;)
[21:03] Alathon: You think you did a pretty damned good job of hiding yourself
[21:03] Mani: (gigapixels!)
[21:03] Fumiko: (Does the demon think so too?)
[21:04] Sheena: (venus: hmm, i got a voice mail *plays* *demon roar* *click* well fuck.")
[21:04] Sakura: (on the bright side, I got it for half price)
[21:04] Alathon: Sakura is up
[21:04] Fumiko: mimic sucks.
[21:04] Sheena: (mmmm megapixles)
[21:04] Alathon: eh, being able to grab a rank of flight when you're falling to your death is nice
[21:05] Sheena: (minic owns, you just need more points in the skill)
[21:05] Sakura: (what's good for a camera megapixel wise? I wanna know if I got ripped off ^^)
[21:05] Sheena: (rei seems to like mimic a lot :P)
[21:05] Fumiko: assuming there's someone flying within 15 feet...
[21:05] Sakura: roll 1d20+13
[21:05] Ala-bot: Sakura rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{17}
[21:05] Fumiko: and he only has one rank of flight....
[21:06] Fumiko: (Can I get a skill usage for mimic, like special attack?)
[21:06] Sheena: (yes)
[21:06] Alathon: roll 1d20+8 dodge
[21:06] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 dodge --> [ 1d20=13 ]{21}
[21:06] Sakura: (bummer, and he knows I'm here)
[21:07] Sakura: (waaait)
[21:07] Sheena: (Power use: mimic. Of corse thats my game not al's so i duno)
[21:07] Alathon: The bone demon, aware of some threat, jerks itself to the right.
[21:07] Sakura: (how much do I get for being invisible?)
[21:07] Sakura: (attack bonus?)
[21:07] Alathon: none, it has blind fighting
[21:07] Sakura: (ah, damn)
[21:07] Fumiko: Fucking asshole demons!
[21:07] Alathon: Mani is up
[21:07] Fumiko: (That was ooc)
[21:07] Sheena: (considering it has no eyes?)
[21:08] Fumiko: (I didn't scream it out from hiding like an idiot)
[21:08] * Mani finds her enemy and attacks.
[21:08] Mani: roll 2#1d20+21
[21:08] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{28}, [ 1d20=11 ]{32}
[21:08] Alathon: You can make one set of attacks, since you gotta move to it
[21:08] Alathon: roll 1d20+6
[21:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{25}
[21:08] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[21:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{8}
[21:08] Alathon: and again, it's not dodging a damned thing.
[21:09] Alathon: roll the damage
[21:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled the damage --> error: malformed expression
[21:09] Mani: roll 2#1d8+5
[21:09] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d8+5 --> [ 1d8=6 ]{11}, [ 1d8=3 ]{8}
[21:09] Mani: (1ap)
[21:09] Alathon: The first one penetrates, teh second one does.
[21:09] Alathon: doesn't
[21:09] Mani: roll 3d8
[21:09] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=13 ]{13}
[21:09] Sheena: (no wonder we are figting demons, damn blender chan)
[21:09] Alathon: Your blade barely chips bone.. but the flash of light from within the scratch you made blows away a nice sized chunk.
[21:10] Alathon: The bone demons pauses for a moment..
[21:10] Alathon: roll 1d20+5
[21:10] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{22}
[21:10] Alathon: And isn't there.
[21:10] Fumiko: (Please no instant regen...)
[21:10] Fumiko: (isn't there? it disappeared?)
[21:10] Alathon: Disappeared.
[21:10] Alathon: Vanished.
[21:10] Fumiko: (FUCK!)
[21:11] Alathon: you can make spot or listen checks if you want.
[21:11] Sheena: "Get back here you ugly white bitch! Im not finshed with you!"
[21:11] Fumiko: (Invisible or tsukasa style?)
[21:11] Alathon: Wouldn't you like to know?
[21:11] Mani: roll 1d20+3 spot
[21:11] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 spot --> [ 1d20=13 ]{16}
[21:11] Fumiko: roll 1d20+18 spot the demon
[21:11] Ala-bot: Fumiko rolled 1d20+18 spot the demon --> [ 1d20=17 ]{35}
[21:11] Sakura: roll 1d20+10 spot

[21:11] Ala-bot: Sakura rolled 1d20+10 listen --> [ 1d20=5 ]{15}
[21:12] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5
[21:12] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{10}
[21:12] Alathon: I don't think anyone is gonna get higher than Fumiko's 35
[21:12] Mani: "No one's done that when I hit them..."
[21:12] Sheena: "Dark Heart, Shooting mode!"
[21:12] Sheena: (sorry didnt see it)
[21:12] Fumiko: (do i see it?)
[21:12] Alathon: Anyways... you spot a pile of bones, slowly disconnecting further, where there used to be a bone demon. Nothing else.
[21:12] Fumiko: "I see a pile of bones, slowly disconnecting further, where there used to be a bone demon. Nothing else."
[21:13] Sakura: (... lol)
[21:13] Sheena: (idoit..)
[21:13] Fumiko: (Lazy actually)
[21:13] Fumiko: "Kill them dead!"
[21:13] Fumiko: "Deader!"
[21:13] * Sheena flys over to mani with the reformed Dark Heart
[21:13] Alathon: The bones don't seem to be doing anything, really, but you never know.
[21:13] Mani: "Are you ok?"
[21:13] * Fumiko picks up a spare rib
[21:13] Sheena: "I don't see anything else, Just your left overs"
[21:14] Alathon: The bone feels.. well, kinda light and brittle.
[21:14] Alathon: Certainly not like it was when you were hitting it, and it felt like stone.
[21:14] Mani: "I wonder if these are indigenous to the area..."
[21:14] Sheena: "I'll live, but ya that f*** hurt alot"
[21:14] * Fumiko cracks it over her knee.
[21:14] Mani: "They obviously weren't what destroyed the village."
[21:14] Alathon: YOu succeed.. it breaks easily.
[21:14] Fumiko: "no fire for one thing."
[21:15] Fumiko: "Maybe Venus knows what the fuck those fuckers were?"
[21:15] Sheena: "We should call venus in, this is way wierd"
[21:15] Mani: "Now the question is whether they just moved in after the devastation or if they were set here by whatever or whoever destroyed the town."
[21:15] Fumiko: (the bike still around?)
[21:15] Mani: "We should report this, certainly."
[21:15] * Sakura decloaks
[21:15] Alathon: The bike is lying where it was, untouched by the battle.
[21:15] Sakura: "It's a shame no one got a picture."
[21:16] Fumiko: roll 1d20+5 search on the bike
[21:16] Ala-bot: Fumiko rolled 1d20+5 search on the bike --> [ 1d20=6 ]{11}
[21:16] Mani: "There'll be a recording."
[21:16] Sakura: "Oh?"
[21:16] Alathon: The bike has a bag on the back, containing verious effects.
[21:16] * Fumiko takes the Bag to Mani.
[21:16] * Sheena checks her com on her belt
[21:16] Alathon: On cursory examination, they appear to belong to a Nevadan Militia Courier.
[21:16] Sheena: "im sure it got something"
[21:16] Fumiko: "Mani. This was on the bike."
[21:16] * Mani nods.
[21:17] Fumiko: "looks like a courier bag."
[21:17] Sakura: (thank you captain obvious)
[21:17] Mani: "Kuonji, did you see anything else around here before those things attacked?"
[21:17] * Mani turns to Fumiko.
[21:18] Mani: "Let's make sure the area's secure before we take a look at the bag."
[21:18] Alathon: Yuuno: "Or maybe just leave the area with it?"
[21:18] Alathon: Yuuno: "How's that sound?"
[21:18] Alathon: Yuuno sounds nervous.
[21:18] Sakura: "Just charred ground with bits of bone."
[21:18] Fumiko: "I'm all for that. The less freaky bone things jumping at me the better."
[21:18] * Mani ponders.
[21:18] Sheena: "Call venus here, This is something you have to see in person"
[21:19] Mani: "Someone's bones jumping you--that's a switch, isn't it Sheena?"
[21:19] * Mani grins.
[21:19] * Mani calls Venus.
[21:19] * Fumiko groans at the bad pun.
[21:20] Alathon: You get a message that she's unavailable, and are redirected to one of her aides.
[21:20] * Sakura chuckles
[21:20] Alathon: roll 1d4
[21:20] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=3 ]{3}
[21:20] Alathon: You get Kyo.
[21:20] Alathon: Kyo: "...."
[21:20] Sakura: (kyo?)
[21:20] Alathon: Kyo Anthony Ramirez
[21:21] Mani: (Kyo? Why are you using Morse code?)
[21:21] Fumiko: (Anthy? we couldent get Utena?)
[21:21] * Sheena grumbles something that sounds like "shesh its been months for me,"
[21:21] Alathon: ((no, she's too busy in some PWP lemon with eight other women and a bunch of guys who look like women))
[21:21] Mani: "Hi, Kyo."
[21:21] Fumiko: (heh.)
[21:21] Alathon: Kyo: "Greetings. You wanted Venus?"
[21:22] Mani: "Yes, we wanted to report in. We're in Barley and have been attacked."
[21:22] Alathon: Kyo: "Casualties?"
[21:23] Mani: "None, but the attackers were very strange."
[21:23] Alathon: He doesn't sound like he's irritated or intentionally being short with you.. his speech just tends to be succint.
[21:23] Alathon: succinct.
[21:23] Alathon: Kyo: "How so?"
[21:23] Fumiko: (Could be worse, the aide coulda been gerand.)
[21:23] Mani: "They seemed to be magically animated bone creatures. Very strong, very hard to hurt. Definitely intelligent, too."
[21:24] Alathon: Kyo: "...."
[21:24] Mani: "At least smart enough to strike from ambush and for one to teleport out when the fight turned against it."
[21:24] Alathon: Kyo: "Need assistance, or advice?"
[21:24] Alathon: Kyo nods.
[21:24] Alathon: Kyo: "Understood."
[21:24] Fumiko: "Able to sense Sakura too."
[21:24] Mani: "Advice would be good. We'll probably teleport out to rest and recover."
[21:25] Sheena: "Hits like a truck, picked up a building timber and used it as a bat for a bit as well,"
[21:25] Alathon: Kyo pauses.
[21:25] Fumiko: (I think they both teleported out actually, remember one bone from teh first vanished mysteriously too)
[21:25] Mani: (Say it in character.)
[21:25] Fumiko: "you had to remind me."
[21:25] * Fumiko clutches her ribs.
[21:26] Fumiko: (Didn't see it in character did I?)
[21:26] Mani: (I think that pretty much says it all.)
[21:26] Alathon: Kyo waits for a moment then speaks.
[21:27] Alathon: Kyo: "Retreat. Contact Talia DeVry for advice."
[21:27] Mani: (Who?)
[21:27] Alathon: You see Kyo's hands up by the camera, tapping something on his communicator.
[21:27] Fumiko: (DeVry? the college?)
[21:27] Alathon: A few seconds later, you get a text message, with Talia DeVry's comm code
[21:28] Alathon: ((You'd know her passingly.. faculty at the Infinity Academy))
[21:28] Alathon: ((Sheena might or might not have worked with her, at her discretion))
[21:28] Fumiko: (ah.)
[21:28] Alathon: ((She's a mage by profession))
[21:28] Mani: "Ok. We'll go back to Erickson."
[21:28] Alathon: Kyo nods.
[21:28] Sheena: (I would have worked with, or learned from any one with usefull knowlage)
[21:28] Mani: "Thank you. Mani out."
[21:28] Fumiko: (could be worse, coulda been gerand (also a mage))
[21:28] Alathon: Kyo: "Will inform Venus."
[21:29] Alathon: Yuuno: "Can we go already?"
[21:29] Mani: "Let's get the bikes and go."
[21:29] Alathon: Yuuno is kinda whiny.
[21:29] Fumiko: "lets take a bone with us in case it's needed."
[21:29] Mani: "We may as well take the other one with us, too."
[21:30] Mani: "Ok, why don't you grab a distinctive one, Fumiko."
[21:30] Alathon: Yuuno: "I dunno if I can manage that.. four of you and your bikes was already a stretch."
[21:30] * Fumiko grabs a destinctive bone (is the skull available?)
[21:30] Mani: "Ok, we'll leave it, then."
[21:30] Sheena: "Are you scared yuuno, or do you feel something odd about this?"
[21:30] Alathon: The skull is available.. one of the horns falls off, but the other one seems to be stuck on.
[21:30] Alathon: Yuuno: "Scared? Of course I'm scared! Did you see those things?"
[21:30] * Fumiko picks up the skull and both horns
[21:31] Sakura: "Hey, come on, they ran didn't they?"
[21:31] Alathon: Yuuno: "I guess..."
[21:31] Mani: "Maybe to get reinforcements..."
[21:31] Fumiko: "they might have just been scouts."
[21:31] Mani: "Let's get out of here."
[21:31] Sheena: "Ya, Big white targets,"
[21:31] Alathon: Yuuno freaks when Mani says that.
[21:31] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yeah, let's get outa here!"
[21:31] * Mani heads to the bikes.
[21:31] Alathon: Yuuno will, at that point, start teleporting the party back to outside erickson.
[21:31] * Sheena heads over to her chopper while.. or not.
[21:31] Mani: "Bikes, Yuuno!"
[21:31] Fumiko: (break time?)
[21:32] Sakura: (do we need to get yuuno, yuuno snacks?)
[21:32] Alathon: You will make it back to Erickson without incident.
[21:32] Alathon: Bikes included.
[21:32] Fumiko: (Nah. scooby snacks'll do)
[21:32] Mani: (Yay)
[21:32] Alathon: and yeah, break here for ten minutes so I can get some food
[21:32] Alathon: restart at 21:42 PST
[21:33] * Mani decides that's not enough time to play any Marvel Ulitmate Alliance and gets something she left in her car, instead.
[21:33] Sheena: ok ill let this reboot then.
[21:33] *** Sheena has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[21:34] Sakura: (I might end up cutting out early... work really wiped me out today, and I got to work again in the morning x_x)
[21:34] Sakura: (Not now, but in a bit that is)
[21:38] Fumiko: well, as we finished the fight early that shouldn't be too big a problem.
[21:39] Sakura: dude, it's easier to miss the fight then rp
[21:39] Sakura: because the dm really just needs to roll dice for the charachter
[21:39] Sakura: but if you miss rp, then you miss story and charachter development
[21:40] Fumiko: yeah, but RP is easier to end early than the fight.
[21:40] Fumiko: and we usually only go until 2am EST anyway.
[21:41] Fumiko: 2-3 oanyway.
[21:41] Fumiko: and your character says nothing anyway.
[21:42] Fumiko: you do far more in combat than out.
[21:42] Sakura: perhaps your charachter's should follow my example :P
[21:42] Fumiko: nah. mine's a non-combat focus character.
[21:43] Fumiko: espionage..
[21:45] Alathon: hmm
[21:45] Alathon: guess we start when sheena gets back
[21:45] Mani: So... does anyone in this group have healing?
[21:45] Alathon: wtf kind of computer takes 12 minutes to restart
[21:45] Alathon: not that I recall.. which means, 10 hp / day
[21:45] Alathon: of REST
[21:45] Mani: Well, I have regen, so I'm set...
[21:46] Mani: But...
[21:46] * Mani shakes her head.
[21:47] Fumiko: 2 ranks regen.
[21:47] Fumiko: healing got killed with Gerand.
[21:48] Mani: Oh, well. I guess it was worth it, then.
[21:48] Fumiko: heh.
[21:48] Alathon: sigh
[21:49] Fumiko: Fumiko's doing pretty well though. aside from getting her ass kicked by two dead guys.
[21:50] *** DCG has joined #crystaltokyo.
[21:50] *** DCG is now known as Sheena.
[21:50] Alathon: ahh
[21:50] Alathon: alright, let's roll
[21:51] Alathon: we pick up back in Erickson
[21:51] Alathon: likely in the militia hall mess
[21:52] Alathon: if you want free lodgings
[21:52] Fumiko: "anyone have any idea what those things were?"
[21:52] Alathon: Yuuno: "Trouble?"
[21:53] Fumiko: "They're not the standard Mutacows or blink cats that's for sure."
[21:53] Mani: "No. Let's see if Marlon does."
[21:53] Sheena: "Hard to hurt, it took my buster and kept going."
[21:53] Alathon: Yuuno: "The first one fell apart after you killed it.. normal things don't do that."
[21:53] * Fumiko takes out the skull thing.
[21:53] Sakura: "You think someone would have mentioned it if they were well known..."
[21:53] Alathon: Marlon is out right now, but will be back in a few.
[21:53] Fumiko: "they're certainly distinctive..."
[21:54] Alathon: You haven't seen or heard of anything like that in Nevada.
[21:54] Mani: "Why would they mention them?"
[21:54] Sheena: (whats the contacts name again?)
[21:54] Alathon: Talia DeVry
[21:54] Fumiko: "and the teleporting..."
[21:54] Mani: (Talia Dev...)
[21:54] Sheena: "Im going to give Talia a call, been a while since i last talked to her."
[21:54] Sheena: (its a her right?)
[21:54] Sakura: "You know... was taking that skull a good idea? Maybe I'm paranoid, but what if they can track it or something?"
[21:54] Alathon: ((yes))
[21:54] Mani: "Yeah... I was just going to suggest that since Marlon is out."
[21:54] * Sheena does so.
[21:55] Alathon: It'll ring for a few moments, before talia comes on screen.
[21:55] Fumiko: "That's the idea. maybe our mage can track it from the skull. Scrying supposedly works better with material objects."
[21:55] Alathon: She looks a lot like this: (Link: http://animepa.csusm.edu/galleries/K-L/ ... mal300.jpg)http://animepa.csusm.edu/galleries/K-L/Louie/lg/mal300.jpg
[21:55] Alathon: ((the redheaded woman in the foreground))
[21:55] Fumiko: "Well, that and it's easier to show that to venus than explain."
[21:55] Alathon: Talia blinks a few times.
[21:56] Mani: ("Is this a bad time, Talia? Do you have something in your eye?")
[21:56] Alathon: Talia: "Sheena.. do you have any idea what time it is?"
[21:56] Fumiko: (Rune soldier Louie?)
[21:56] Alathon: ((an excellent series.. but no, she's not Louie ;p ))
[21:56] Sheena: "Oh sorry, I foregot about the time change."
[21:57] Alathon: ((and for the record, ifyou try to score with her, you failed -- she's hetero))
[21:57] Alathon: tried
[21:57] * Fumiko hands Sheena the skull
[21:57] Fumiko: (who was that to?)
[21:57] Alathon: Sheena ;p
[21:57] Mani: (Talia screams as it looms large in her screen. :) )
[21:57] Sakura: (I've been waiting for more to come stateside)
[21:57] Alathon: Talia blinks the rest of the sleep out of her eyes.
[21:57] Alathon: Talia: "So.. what is that thing?"
[21:58] Alathon: Talia: "WHere'd you get it?"
[21:58] Fumiko: "We were hoping you could tell us."
[21:58] Sakura: (but the girl that he's probably gonna end up with really pisses me off -_-)
[21:58] Alathon: Talia, flatly. "It's a skull."
[21:58] Sheena: "Large, white, strong, dead, And it attacked us not to long ago."
[21:58] Fumiko: "To be fair I'm not sure it was ever alive..."
[21:58] Sheena: "This is the skull of a huge bone monster that ambushed out in a destroyed village"
[21:59] Alathon: Talia: "Lovely. I'm definately not going back to sleep now, not with that image stuck in my head."
[21:59] Sheena: "It was all bone, Hard as hell to hurt, and very good at hurting us"
[21:59] Sakura: "Fumiko, maybe you should let sheena do the talking... she seems to know Talia, AND she's the one with the phone."
[21:59] Fumiko: (coughStalfoscough)
[21:59] Alathon: Talia: "Are you allright?"
[21:59] Sheena: "It hurts, so im live."
[21:59] Alathon: Talia looks genuinely concerned.
[21:59] Sheena: "*still alive
[22:00] Alathon: Talia: "Oh.. good. Or, well, you know what I mean."
[22:00] Mani: "Don't forget the teleporting and super jumping."
[22:00] Fumiko: "or the picking up beams and hitting you with them. I won't..."
[22:00] Alathon: Talia: "So.. a couple things... teleporting and jumping things.. made of all bone, with a skull like that.. attacked you."
[22:00] Fumiko: ./me rubs her ribs again
[22:00] Alathon: Talia: "Beams... of wood?"
[22:00] Fumiko: "Big ones
[22:00] Alathon: Talia: "So.. super strong as well."
[22:00] Sheena: "A support beam for older style houses"
[22:01] Fumiko: "hurt like hell too."
[22:01] * Mani comes into view and nods to Talia.
[22:01] Mani: "Hi, by the way."
[22:01] Alathon: Talia closes her eyes and massages the bridge of her nose.
[22:01] * Sakura sighs and shrugs
[22:01] Alathon: Talia looks up, and nods politely to Mani.
[22:01] Sheena: "Sorry.. I really forgot about the time there"
[22:01] Sakura: "Kids these days, no manners."
[22:01] Alathon: Talia: "So... you want me to tell you what that is? Or maybe where it came from, or how best to fight it?"
[22:02] Fumiko: "we were hoping you could do that? I know my chains didn't work well... It was armored."
[22:02] * Mani shrugs at Sakura.
[22:02] Alathon: Talia: "Sorry, I can't. Demonology really isn't my specialty."
[22:02] Sheena: "Im sorry, Did you want me to hand you the com or something?"
[22:02] * Sheena looks at Fumiko glaring
[22:02] Mani: "Well, I already added something, so I thought it'd only be polite to say hello."
[22:03] Alathon: Talia pauses for a moment at the interplay on the other side of the comm.
[22:03] * Mani seems content to let Sheena speak other than that.
[22:03] Fumiko: "no, that's fine."
[22:03] * Fumiko smiles embarassed
[22:03] * Sheena snorts and gets back to the com
[22:03] Alathon: Talia: "Hmm.. did you see if it had a dorsal vent?"
[22:04] * Fumiko turns to mani.
[22:04] Sheena: "Well, <name?) recomanded we call you about this. It's like nothing i have sceen before"
[22:04] Fumiko: "A dorsal vent?"
[22:04] Alathon: Kyo
[22:04] Fumiko: (Kyo)
[22:04] Alathon: Talia: "Er.. a butthole."
[22:04] Mani: "Kyo?"
[22:04] Alathon: Talia: "Almost any natural creature will have some sort of vent, for waste."
[22:04] * Mani looks surprised.
[22:04] Mani: "Oh, the dorsal vent."
[22:05] Sheena: "I belive it had something like a pelvic bone, But these things where walking skeltions"
[22:05] Alathon: Talia frowns.
[22:05] Alathon: Talia: "HOw were they connected?"
[22:05] Alathon: Talia: "The bones, that is."
[22:05] Sheena: "Magic is my best guess"
[22:05] Alathon: Talia: "No flesh.. or sinew.. or some sort of cartilege, or muscle?"
[22:05] Sheena: "One of them fell apart once we did enought damage"
[22:05] Fumiko: "no idea. Felt hard as stone before they fell apart, afterwards I broke a bone on my knee.""
[22:05] Sheena: "Nothing like that at all"
[22:05] Alathon: Talia: "Fell apart? What do you mean?"
[22:05] Sheena: "Not even eyes,"
[22:06] Fumiko: "brittle."
[22:06] Sheena: "Mani landed a soild hit, Something flashed and it fell apart"
[22:06] Alathon: Talia: "Oh. Hm."
[22:07] * Sheena gins a bit
[22:07] Alathon: Talia: "And the bones lost.. whatever quality made them armored or resistant to attack, when the creature appeared to die?"
[22:07] Sheena: "Mostly onto her,"
[22:07] Fumiko: "yeah."
[22:07] Sheena: "Thats what it seems like, I figer the magic fades once the controll was broken"
[22:07] Alathon: Talia: "That is one among many possibilities."
[22:08] * Sheena shurges
[22:08] Sheena: "Hey, im on the battle field not the lab, give me a break here"
[22:08] Alathon: Talia: "Still.. what you're describing, doesn't sound to me like a mutated indigenous lifeform."
[22:08] Alathon: Talia: "Frankly.. it doesn't sound much like a life form at all."
[22:08] * Fumiko stares at the skull. Damn it's creepy.
[22:08] Mani: (Have we been told how to access playbacks on our communicators in the past 4 years?)
[22:09] Alathon: You know how to play back recordings you've made
[22:09] Alathon: not how to access the 'always recording' function.
[22:09] Alathon: you can use it as a video or audio recorder
[22:09] Fumiko: (Would she?)
[22:09] Sheena: "Im asuming our coms picked up most of the fight, but i can't get into any files i didn't make myself"
[22:09] Fumiko: (Talia?)
[22:09] Alathon: Uh.. if they were picking up the fight they'd be getting damaged when you got hit
[22:09] Alathon: they're safely in pockets unless you say otherwise when you're fighting
[22:10] Sheena: (ok)
[22:10] Alathon: stare at the skull? not really
[22:10] Alathon: someone's talking to her
[22:10] Mani: (Ok... I'd assume they wouldn't pick up much video except when they're being used, then.)
[22:10] Mani: (If we're keeping them in pockets most of the time.)
[22:11] Alathon: Talia: "If we were playing dungeons and dragons, I'd say you should use crushing weapons.. but I'm really not sure that's pertinent."
[22:11] Alathon: Talia: "Hmm."
[22:11] Sheena: "I hit it dead on with my Buster, it kept coming"
[22:11] Alathon: Talia: "How did you.. kill, or destroy.. the one you did?"
[22:11] Alathon: Talia: "Oh.. magic. Hm.. did physical attacks have any noticeable affect ont hem?"
[22:11] * Sheena looks over to Mani
[22:12] Mani: "We all hit it with various attacks. The final one was a surge of energy."
[22:12] Sakura: "Well, I did cut off an arm..."
[22:12] Mani: "It seemed to deflect a lot of damage from all attacks, but I don't know if any of those attacks were purely physical."
[22:12] Mani: (Wait... strike that line.)
[22:13] Alathon: Talia: "Ooh.. who do you have with you?"
[22:13] Mani: "It seemed to deflect a lot of damage from all attacks, magical or not."
[22:13] Sakura: (I just realised something... I shouldn't have gotten sneak attack)
[22:13] Fumiko: "my chains barely hurt it."
[22:13] Sheena: "Mani,Sakura, meself, and some new girl"
[22:13] Sakura: (undead and constructs are immune)
[22:13] Fumiko: (He'll retcon the rolll!)
[22:13] Alathon: ((eh, good thing these were neither))
[22:13] Alathon: ((you'll have your turn against those later))
[22:14] Alathon: Talia: "So.. crystal swords, with some sort of energy burst.. magic.. some sort of ninja sword thingy.. and something else."
[22:14] Fumiko: (not undead or constructs? so they were alive?)
[22:14] Alathon: ((as far as the mechanics were concerned, yes))
[22:14] Fumiko: "Energy Chains"
[22:14] Mani: (Stop pumping the DM for information. :p )
[22:14] Sheena: "Want us to bring whats left of it to your labes,talia?"
[22:15] Alathon: Talia: "Right... energy chains.."
[22:15] Alathon: ((no, you stay away from my labes.. that's personal territory!))
[22:15] Sheena: (damn right it is,)
[22:15] Sakura: "Ninja thingy?"
[22:15] Alathon: Talia: "You have some sort of ninja sword, don't you?"
[22:15] * Fumiko grins at the description.
[22:15] Alathon: Talia: "I'm afraid I just can't keep track of everything."
[22:16] Fumiko: "heh. Ninja sword thingy..."
[22:16] Mani: (Is Fumiko still a fox-woman in the middle of the milita hall?)
[22:16] Fumiko: (no.)
[22:16] Alathon: Talia: "I'd like a look at it, certainly, though I can't guarantee you anything more than what I've already said."
[22:17] Fumiko: (well, yes, but she doesn't look like one)
[22:17] Alathon: Talia: "But.. at the very least, I'm strongly inclined to say that whatever you were fighting was supernatural in nature."
[22:17] Alathon: Talia: "And most likely not a mutie."
[22:17] Fumiko: (cosmetic changes makes me look human until I can detransform)
[22:18] Sheena: "Supernatural huh, Thats a new one for us"
[22:18] Sheena: (it is right?)
[22:18] Alathon: Talia: 'You said Kyo sent you, right? How's he doing?"
[22:19] * Sheena gives her a puzzles look
[22:19] Fumiko: (under her breath) "monosylabic)
[22:19] Sheena: "With that guy how can you tell?"
[22:19] Sheena: "I sure can't"
[22:21] Alathon: Talia: "Oh, he's not that bad!"
[22:21] Alathon: Talia: "I mean, he's just not a man of many words."
[22:21] Fumiko: (a crush?)
[22:21] Sheena: "Heh, I didn't mean it in a bad way, i just can't really tell myself."
[22:22] Alathon: Talia: "I just never get to see him, what with his working over there."
[22:22] Sheena: "If i talk to him again ill let em know you asked,"
[22:22] Alathon: Talia: "I'd appreciate that."
[22:22] Alathon: Talia pauses.
[22:22] Alathon: Talia: "Do you want me to forward a report to, uh.. Venus?"
[22:22] Alathon: Talia: "You're working for her, right?"
[22:23] Sheena: "We let her know about the battle all ready, but sending her anything you know or can find out would be great"
[22:23] Sheena: "Yep, she's the boss"
[22:23] Alathon: Talia nods.
[22:23] Alathon: Talia: "I'll do that, then."
[22:23] Sheena: "Thanks, and sorry for wakening you"
[22:24] Alathon: Talia: "Anything else? I wish I could help more.. I'm just not entire sure what to make of that thing."
[22:24] Alathon: Talia waves a hand.
[22:24] Alathon: Talia: "Oh, it's nothing."
[22:24] Sheena: "Anything else hmmm.."
[22:24] * Sheena grins at Talia
[22:24] Alathon: Talia, laughing: "Other than that."
[22:25] Sheena: "Ahh i know, Any leads on who can help with supernatural stuff like this would be a big help."
[22:25] Alathon: Talia pauses.
[22:25] Sheena: "Should we find a priestss or something?"
[22:25] Mani: ("Since *you're* not good enough!")
[22:25] Sakura: (did we have to deal with sheena bringing lots of.... guests home?)
[22:25] Sheena: (no)
[22:25] Alathon: Talia: "Honestly.. I've made a study of all manner of mutants.. I'm not sure who would know more, other than the Senshi themselves."
[22:26] Sheena: (she wouldnt bring any one home)
[22:26] Alathon: Talia: "Supposedly they fought stuff like this, way back when, if you believe the stories."
[22:26] Fumiko: "aqnyone who would know about undead?"
[22:26] Alathon: Talia shakes her head.
[22:26] Mani: "I wonder if a psychic could pick something up from it..."
[22:26] Alathon: Talia: "They exist?"
[22:26] Sheena: "Bug the boss, I love that answer"
[22:26] Alathon: Talia: "Undead, I mean? Like.. zombies, and vampires, and suchlike?"
[22:26] Fumiko: "well if walking skeletons don't count what does?
[22:27] Alathon: Talia, abashed: "Oh.. good point."
[22:27] Sheena: "If we ever run into any, Ill let you know if they drop 10gold when i kill em"
[22:27] Fumiko: "Do you happen to have a mace of crushing on you?
[22:28] * Sheena looks at Fumiko oddly
[22:28] Alathon: Talia giggles.
[22:28] Sakura: I'd settle for some holy water
[22:28] * Mani moves back over to Kuonji and just shakes her head.
[22:28] Alathon: Talia: "No, I'm afraid not."
[22:28] Fumiko: "what? not a fan of D&D?"
[22:28] * Sheena sigh
[22:28] Fumiko: "too bad."
[22:29] Alathon: Talia: "Well.. I'm going to get going, and get cleaned up."
[22:29] Sheena: "Did you totaly miss the undertone of our little chat here? I may not have been able get Talia out on a date"
[22:29] Alathon: Talia mutters something, including the phrase 'might as well'.
[22:29] Sheena: "But a couple game session was do able"
[22:29] Alathon: Talia smirks.
[22:29] Fumiko: "she is a beautiful woman."
[22:30] Sheena: "Again, sorry about waking you up, All tho you may want to chat with kyo about that. It was his idea to call you"
[22:30] Alathon: Talia: "He thought of me?"
[22:30] Alathon: Talia beams.
[22:30] Sheena: "uh oh, I better hang up while i can"
[22:30] Sheena: "Talk to you later Tal,"
[22:30] Alathon: Talia: "bai-bai!"
[22:30] Fumiko: "but obviously straight, and in love."
[22:30] Alathon: Talia hangs up.
[22:30] Mani: "How and when are you going to get the skull to her?"
[22:31] Alathon: Yuuno: "It's not gonna be me.. at least not today.. I'm pooped."
[22:31] Sheena: "Island hop with yuuno? But i figer we can ship it home the normal way"
[22:31] Sheena: (asuming they have a normal way by now)
[22:31] Alathon: If you take it back to the consulate, you can "mail" it.
[22:31] Fumiko: "Let's send it back to teh base, they'll deal with it."
[22:31] Alathon: which is to say, it'll make it into a crate along with a bunch of other stuff that Venus takes when she makes trips back and forth.
[22:31] Mani: "Like I said, I'd like to see if Marlon knows anything about it. And maybe Venus will."
[22:32] Sheena: "Fumikochan... For a "spy" your very very talkive, and kinda rude"
[22:32] Fumiko: "Conversation is a large part of espionage."
[22:32] Fumiko: "and can I help if I enjoy talking to beautiful women?"
[22:32] * Sheena does a blink blink
[22:33] Sheena: "Really, i figered it would be sneaking around and being slient."
[22:33] Sheena: "Then call her on your own time."
[22:33] Sakura: "You know, I've been getting the oddest sense of deja vu lately..."
[22:33] Fumiko: "nah. It's more disguise and seduction than thievery."
[22:33] Fumiko: "sneaking around silently is what ninjas are for."
[22:34] * Fumiko looks pointedly at Sakura.
[22:34] Sakura: "Hey, did you hear or see me at any point while I was carving up tall, dark, and ugly?"
[22:35] Sheena: (would we have a bunch of people watching us by now?)
[22:35] Fumiko: "Nope. See, sneaky and silent is for ninjas."
[22:35] * Mani checks to make sure people aren't gathering.
[22:35] Alathon: People are curious, but nobody's leaning over your shoulders
[22:35] Alathon: you've got a table to yourself.
[22:35] Fumiko: "and ours seems to be pretty good at it too."
[22:35] Mani: (Can they overhear us?)
[22:36] Alathon: and there's a certain amount of noise from other peoples' conversations
[22:36] Alathon: some of them are a little tipsy at this point, so they're certainly not quiet.
[22:37] Sakura: (she still have pink hair?)
[22:37] Fumiko: (Nah. Back to copper.)
[22:37] * Mani keeps an eye open for anyone who looks like they're actually trying to listen in or close enough to hear.
[22:37] Sakura: (then Sakura's probably forgotten to grill sheena)
[22:37] * Sheena pets yuuno to keep em calm
[22:38] Sheena: "Well what now?"
[22:38] Alathon: mani, make a spot check
[22:38] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[22:38] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{19}
[22:38] Sakura: "You know, I'm kind of curious..."
[22:38] Sheena: "There is likly more then thoes two out and about"
[22:38] Sakura: "This isn't the first battle you've been in Yuuno... Why are you so shaken up by this?"
[22:38] Alathon: Nobody seems to be paying any more attention than you'd expect them to pay a group of attractive women.
[22:38] Fumiko: "well, we can follow up on the courier lead."
[22:38] Sakura: (fuck XD)
[22:38] Sheena: (lol)
[22:39] Fumiko: "till the skull gets to the lab it doesn't seem like we have much to go on."
[22:39] Mani: "True. Let me see if Marlon is back."
[22:39] * Mani checks.
[22:39] Alathon: He's back.
[22:39] Sakura: (Yuuno asleep or something?)
[22:40] Sheena: (no just poke al)
[22:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "Well.."
[22:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "I dunno, I just am, alright!"
[22:40] * Mani frowns.
[22:40] Mani: "Bad vibes?"
[22:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "yeah, exactly!"
[22:40] Mani: "I think I know what you mean."
[22:40] Sakura: "You're pretty old, right? Have you run into something similar before?"
[22:40] Fumiko: (walking skeletons are creepy...)
[22:41] Sakura: (we know about his age n' stuff, right?)
[22:41] Alathon: Yuuno: "I dunno.. if you say so.. I just got a bad vibe from that whole place. Probably cuz of those skeletons."
[22:41] Sheena: (sheena would have said it in passing,)
[22:41] Mani: "Anyway, let's talk to Marlon."
[22:41] Mani: (How old is he?)
[22:41] Fumiko: (you know about his pornography addiction...)
[22:41] Sheena: (all tho "That" life may only be a few months for yuuno)
[22:41] Sakura: "Right."
[22:42] Fumiko: "maybe he'll know about the skull?"
[22:42] Sheena: (yuuno's never said an agg, just that he has stores from "damn this was while back!" )
[22:42] Sheena: *age
[22:42] Mani: "Maybe. Or the courier."
[22:43] * Mani gets up and heads to Marlon's office(?).
[22:43] Fumiko: Sheena? you wanna ask him bout the skull first?"
[22:43] Sheena: "Follow mani's lead, it tends to solve problems befoer they happen"
[22:44] Fumiko: "Okay. She has the courier bag anyway."
[22:44] Alathon: Marlon will greet you.
[22:44] Alathon: Marlon: "Back so soon?"
[22:44] * Fumiko follows Mani
[22:44] Alathon: Marlon looks over, and notices that Sheena isn't quite as spry as normal.
[22:45] Mani: (Sheena's still injured, but everyone else is healed, yes?)
[22:45] Alathon: Marlon: "Run into something?"
[22:45] * Mani nods.
[22:45] Alathon: ((sheena and sakura))
[22:45] Fumiko: "Could say that."
[22:45] Sakura: (I'm a bit bruised)
[22:45] Sheena: "Ya, "Something""
[22:45] Mani: "A pair of nasty things. We were wondering if maybe you'd know what they were."
[22:45] * Sheena sheena is hurt rather bad, but nothign to stop her from moving about
[22:46] * Mani turns to whoever has the skull.
[22:46] Fumiko: "(Sheena)
[22:46] * Sheena holdes it up with her good hand
[22:46] Fumiko: "any idea what that is?"
[22:46] Alathon: Marlon looks at it, then shakes his head, slowly.
[22:47] Alathon: Marlon: "Ugly sonofabitch... but it musta been dead a good while to be clean of flesh like that."
[22:47] Mani: "That's what it looked like when it was attacking us."
[22:47] Fumiko: "I'm not sure it was ever alive."
[22:48] Sheena: "Think of a gaint bone monster with that for a head, no flesh at all"
[22:48] Mani: "Though it was on top of a body of bone."
[22:48] Alathon: Marlon frowns.
[22:48] Fumiko: "we were attacked by two of them. walking skeletons. jumping really. one fell apart the other teleported away."
[22:48] Alathon: Marlon: "Never seen nor heard of nothin' like that.."
[22:48] * Mani frowns.
[22:48] Alathon: Marlon: "Aint' sound natural to me, truth be told."
[22:48] Alathon: Marlon frounds.
[22:48] Mani: "Nor to us."
[22:48] Alathon: Marlon: "An' these things were up at Barley?"
[22:48] Sheena: "It was hiding in the remains of that burt out town"
[22:49] Fumiko: Yeah.
[22:49] Mani: "But we wanted to see if they were known around here."
[22:49] Alathon: Marlon: "They try to, ya know, burn ya or anything?"
[22:49] Sakura: "Nope, no fire."
[22:49] Mani: "They didn't use fire, so we don't think they were responsibel for destroying the village..."
[22:49] Alathon: Marlon: "Huh.."
[22:49] Fumiko: "No. really strong, no fire at all."
[22:49] Sakura: "Just pure, blunt force trauma."
[22:49] Fumiko: "there was a courier's bike too."
[22:49] Sakura: "And bag."
[22:50] Mani: "But they might have been part of it, or they may have just moved in afterwards."
[22:50] * Sheena tries to move her injured arm and changes her mind
[22:50] Fumiko: "We left the bike. you might want to pick it up."
[22:50] * Mani nods and puts the bag on the desk.
[22:50] Mani: "I don't think anyone wants to go there to pick it up, Fumiko."
[22:51] Sheena: "You got a doc around for a quick patch job? I just need a little thill we get orders"
[22:51] Fumiko: "no, I guess your right... still, we should tell him anyway."
[22:51] Alathon: Marlon is quiet for a moment, listening to the comments.
[22:51] Fumiko: (We have med kits don't we?)
[22:52] Alathon: Marlon: "I dunno.. neither of our courriers are out, but, I'm guessing whoever was investigating the town left someone there to keep an eye on it."
[22:52] Alathon: ((not "quaff a potion for instant hp" medkits))
[22:52] Sheena: (( :P))
[22:52] Mani: "All right, in fairness, a bunch of strong metahumans can handle those things if there aren't too many, but I don't think a bike is worth attempting it."
[22:53] Alathon: Marlon: "Wasn't even thinkin' about it.."
[22:53] Mani: "All right, then you have no objections if we open the contents and check it out?"
[22:53] Alathon: Marlon: "A doc? Yeah.. you got any bones that need setting?"
[22:53] * Sakura looks sheena over
[22:53] Fumiko: (Hello monkey blood.)
[22:54] Sakura: (with the xray vision... I notice anything? roll spot?)
[22:54] Alathon: Marlon opens the bag himself.
[22:54] Alathon: Marlon leafs through a sheaf of papers, before settling on one.
[22:54] Sakura: (monkey blood?)
[22:54] Alathon: Marlon reads it for a couple moments, then speaks.
[22:54] Sheena: "I might, can't tell myself. Hurting is hurting you know"
[22:55] Alathon: Marlon: "Well.. not much to say from this."
[22:55] Fumiko: (Merbromin)
[22:55] Fumiko: (Topical antiseptic, hurts like hell)
[22:55] Mani: (I don't know... I think broken bone hurting is probably a lot worse than plain old hurting, unless it's a really minor bone.)
[22:55] Alathon: ((broken bones don't always hurt severely))
[22:55] Alathon: ((depends heavily on which they are, and how they're broken))
[22:55] Sakura: (do I see anything busted>)
[22:56] Alathon: ((obviously? no))
[22:56] Alathon: Marlon looks over at Sheena.
[22:56] * Sheena isnt bleeding, but her sholder and side are rather blackand blue
[22:56] Alathon: Marlon: "Should probably get looked at then. Doc Holiday is just down the street, I'll send someone to fetch him."
[22:57] Sheena: ...
[22:57] Sakura: (doc holiday? does he carry a gun and have TB?)
[22:57] Alathon: ((no))
[22:57] Sheena: "Thanks"
[22:57] Alathon: Marlon hands the sheaf of papers back to Mani.
[22:57] Mani: (How about a bow and leukemia?)
[22:57] Alathon: Marlon: "I dunno what to make of these.. no orders to stay, but those probably wouldn't be put in writing anyways."
[22:58] Alathon: ((nope))
[22:58] * Mani takes a look at them.
[22:58] Mani: (slingshot and a nasty rash?)
[22:58] Mani: (*shuts up)
[22:59] Alathon: Various dispatches, orders to serve with captain so-and-so, lists of various requisitioned foodstuffs... blah blah blah.
[22:59] Alathon: Nothing interesting.
[22:59] Mani: "Hm."
[22:59] Alathon: Marlon: "Dunno what else to say.."
[22:59] Fumiko: (anything worth noting at all?)
[22:59] Alathon: Marlon: "Glad you did for 'em, at least."
[22:59] * Mani cheks out the bag before returning the papers to it.
[22:59] Mani: "I think there's still at least one out there."
[23:00] Alathon: Marlon perks up.
[23:00] Alathon: Marlon: "That so?"
[23:00] Mani: "We destroyed one, but the second vanished."
[23:00] Alathon: Marlon pauses...
[23:00] Mani: "And Yuuno and I had a bad feeling about the place."
[23:00] Alathon: Marlon: "Vanished, you say? Into thin air?"
[23:00] Mani: "Yeah."
[23:00] Alathon: Marlon: "Lovely."
[23:00] Fumiko: "yep."
[23:00] Alathon: Marlon: "Who knows, maybed the damned thing went back to hell."
[23:01] Alathon: Marlon: "Doubt we're that lucky, though."
[23:01] * Mani looks thoughtful.
[23:01] Mani: "Hell, huh?"
[23:02] * Mani shakes her head.
[23:02] Mani: "I think you might want to retain some metahumans again."
[23:02] Mani: "I'm not sure that any of your conventional weapons could damage those things...."
[23:02] Alathon: Marlon: "Just might, at that."
[23:02] Alathon: Marlon winces at that.
[23:03] Mani: "Yeah."
[23:03] Sakura: "They shrugged off quite a bit of damage."
[23:03] Alathon: Marlon: "I'll hafta see about that.. but even if we put the word out, it'll probably be weeks."
[23:03] Sheena: "It took my blast and didnt seem to care"
[23:03] Fumiko: "some attacks it seemed to shrug right off though."
[23:03] Sheena: "I would call in help as soon as you can"
[23:04] Fumiko: Ignored my energy chains too."
[23:04] Mani: "Do you think you could get help from the Crimson Guard?"
[23:04] Alathon: Marlon: "Maybe."
[23:04] Mani: "Basically, even *our* blows were mostly shrugged off unless they hit dead on."
[23:04] Sheena: "Would fire work on something made out of bone?"
[23:04] Alathon: Marlon: "But I'll bet you dollars to donuts that every other captain stationed near one of these towns is screaming fer aid."
[23:04] Sakura: (are you going to point that out to everyone? they're weak, get over it... or at least bitch outta charachter, like me :p)
[23:04] Alathon: Marlon: "And there ain't so many Crimsons to go around."
[23:05] Fumiko: "mercenaries then."
[23:05] Mani: "I don't know, but if they are associated with whatever burned the village, they may be immune to fire."
[23:05] Mani: (What are you talking about, Sakura?)
[23:05] Mani: (The chains?)
[23:05] Alathon: Marlon: "Lovely thought, that."
[23:05] Sakura: (yes)
[23:05] * Mani nods.
[23:05] Sakura: (it's like the fourth time I've seen it mentioned)
[23:05] Fumiko: (It's vital information he might need.)
[23:05] Alathon: Marlon: "If there's nothing else.. sounds like I've got some work to do."
[23:06] Fumiko: They didn't seem to have much to burn."
[23:06] Sakura: "What?"
[23:06] Mani: "Hopefully, the Crimsons will be willing to station some people here. This town is shaping up into part of a major trade route."
[23:06] * Mani sighs.
[23:07] Alathon: Marlon: "That it is.."
[23:07] Fumiko: "Thank you for your hospitality Marlon."
[23:07] Alathon: Marlon nods to Fumiko.
[23:07] Alathon: Marlon: "Thanks fer helping out."
[23:07] Mani: "But there are still all those other towns."
[23:07] * Mani smiles at him.
[23:08] Alathon: ((it's getting late, so we'll be wrapping it up semi-soon))
[23:08] Mani: "Aw, you know we'll always help out when we can."
[23:08] Alathon: ((less than half an hour, ideally))
[23:08] Alathon: Marlon nods.
[23:08] Sakura: (please do, I need sleep)
[23:08] Sheena: (fastest game ever then)
[23:08] Mani: (We can stop here if you like.)
[23:08] Alathon: Anyways.. it'll only take about twenty minutes for the doc to get here.
[23:08] Alathon: ((eh, wanna hit acouple other points))
[23:08] Sakura: (ok)
[23:08] Sheena: (im good to go)
[23:09] Alathon: Doctor Aaron Holiday is, in fact, a middle aged man with a round face, balding hair, and a mostly white coat.
[23:09] Alathon: When he gets a look at Sheena, who is bruised to all hell, he'll suggest she have a few glasses of brandy before he starts examining her, as it's liable to hurt like all hell.
[23:10] Mani: (And it's only fair, since he's already had a few. :) )
[23:10] Alathon: Not as far as you can tell ;p
[23:10] Sakura: (roll smell check? :p)
[23:10] Alathon: Doc: "Or not, if you don't favor the liquor."
[23:10] Fumiko: (Drunken Doctor-ken!)
[23:11] Alathon: Doc: "But this is gonna hurt something fierce."
[23:11] Sakura: (dude, the drunk doctor from tylor rocks)
[23:11] Alathon: ((hehe, yeah he does))
[23:11] Fumiko: (I was thinking the Black Jack rip off from Excel Saga)
[23:11] Mani: (the doctor came in, stinking of gin, and proceeded to lie on the table...)
[23:12] Sheena: "Ya, just get on with it"
[23:12] Alathon: Sheena?
[23:12] Alathon: roll 1d20+10 medical
[23:12] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 medical --> [ 1d20=14 ]{24}
[23:12] Sheena: (im hard core y0)
[23:12] Alathon: gimme a DC 15 fort save, Sheena
[23:12] Fumiko: (I'm getting out of the way.)
[23:12] Fumiko: (Oh hell.)
[23:12] Sakura: (Sheena you met your match, sheena said, "Doc it's only a scratch")
[23:12] Sheena: Roll 1d20+2
[23:12] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{5}
[23:12] Mani: (*grins)
[23:12] Sheena: (LOL pain!)
[23:13] Fumiko: (you already divine relationshipped once, no getting outta this one)
[23:13] Alathon: When he hits one particular spot on your shoulder, it's about ten times worse, and you can't help but yelp, before you stifle the scream that was about to follow.
[23:13] Sheena: (with yuuno)
[23:13] * Sakura winces
[23:13] Alathon: Doc: "Ma'am, you sure about tihs?"
[23:13] Mani: (And that was just the preliminary exam...)
[23:14] Sheena: "You want me to let it go as is/"
[23:14] * Sakura takes a closer look at the spot with the xray vision
[23:14] Alathon: roll your medical, sakura
[23:14] * Fumiko looks at sheena with something bordering between horror and awe.
[23:14] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled your medical, sakura --> error: malformed expression
[23:14] Mani: (Stop irradiating Sheena!)
[23:14] Sheena: "I can drink some, but enought to block pain like that would caus other problems.."
[23:14] Fumiko: (Drunken weapons of mass destruction! Yay!)
[23:14] Sakura: (oh yeah, that reminds me)
[23:15] Alathon: Doc: "If you say so."
[23:15] Sakura: (you said it'd take a long time to give someone cancer, but what about to sterilize them?)
[23:15] Sakura: roll 1d20+3
[23:15] Ala-bot: Sakura rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{7}
[23:15] Sakura: (bummer)
[23:15] Alathon: Sakura takes a hard look, but realizes that he knows fuck all about human biology, other than how to wreck it.
[23:16] Sheena: (isnt that bend natural? all thoes pointy splinters look fine to)
[23:16] Sakura: (can't make out shit... guess I should take some ranks in medical next level... especially since me n sheena lack healing)
[23:16] Alathon: The examination will take another fifteen minutes, and HURTS.
[23:16] * Mani says quietly to Sakura, "Got anything to knock her out?"
[23:16] Alathon: It'll force a few more sounds out of you, none of 'em pleasant.
[23:16] Alathon: The Doc will, eventually, produce her in need of bed rest.
[23:17] Sheena: Sheena will feel like an idoit and go get painkillers from her medkit
[23:17] Sakura: "Not on me."
[23:17] Alathon: Doc: "Nothing's broken that I can tell, but I'd say you'll want the better part of a week to let the worst of that bruising heal."
[23:17] Mani: (Btw, would Sakura prefer Mani & Sheena call him Sakura or Kuonji now, considering that they've lived together for a while?)
[23:17] Alathon: Your medkit does indeed include painkillers, both of the normal kind, and of the "dulls everything" kind.
[23:17] Sheena: "bah, It will be cleared up by morning or later tommaro"
[23:18] Alathon: The Doc frowns at that.
[23:18] Alathon: Doc: "I hope that's not bravado speaking."
[23:18] Alathon: The Doc reaches out and pokes your side.
[23:18] Alathon: roll 1d20+10 medical
[23:18] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 medical --> [ 1d20=10 ]{20}
[23:18] Alathon: it fuckin' hurts.
[23:18] * Sheena jerks a bit
[23:18] Sakura: (Sakura's fine in private)
[23:18] Mani: (You're supposed to yelp and collapse. :) )
[23:18] Sheena: "Still feel that.."
[23:18] Alathon: Doc: "You go out and about, or god forbid go pickin' fights, and it'll hurt a lot worse than that."
[23:18] Sakura: (well, actually, it's fine period)
[23:19] Alathon: Doc: "Just give yourself a couple days rest, is all I'm saying."
[23:19] Sheena: "Sounds good to me"
[23:19] Alathon: The doctor looks around.
[23:19] Alathon: Doc: "The rest of you alright?"
[23:19] Sakura: "Nothing that can't be fixed with a good night's sleep and some stew."
[23:19] Alathon: The Doc nods.
[23:19] Alathon: Doc: "Good, good.. glad to hear it."
[23:20] Alathon: The doctor looks over at Sheena.
[23:20] Alathon: Doc: "This one's on the house, of course."
[23:20] Alathon: The doctor nods to Sheena, and leaves.
[23:20] Mani: "Thank you, doctor."
[23:21] Fumiko: (i'm completely egened by now, with 2hp every 6 sexonds.)
[23:21] Alathon: Sheena, your communicator beeps.
[23:21] * Sheena pulls out her com and answers
[23:22] Alathon: ((oh wait, it was mani that called venus, wasn't it))
[23:22] Alathon: Okay.. actually.. Mani's communicator beeps. Bleah.
[23:22] * Sheena watchs Mani answer hers.
[23:22] Alathon: It's a text message from Kyo. It is, unsurprisingly short.
[23:22] Sheena: (go i got my top off or anything?)
[23:22] * Mani answers.
[23:23] Alathon: You had your top off for the examination.. and his eyes didn't linger any more than they should've. Which is to say they did, a little, but not obscenely so.
[23:23] Alathon: Kyo's message: "Conferred with Venus; reinforcements pending."
[23:23] * Mani blinks.
[23:23] Sakura: (sadly it won't be deathstar-chan ;_;)
[23:24] * Mani shows it to the others in the group.
[23:24] Fumiko: "Reinforcements?"
[23:24] * Mani nods.
[23:24] Sakura: "Hope it isn't Gerand..."
[23:24] * Fumiko has a bad feeling about this.
[23:24] * Mani says to Marlon, "It seems we may have some help of some sort coming."
[23:24] Fumiko: "gerand?"
[23:25] Sakura: "Don't ask... You're better off not knowing."
[23:25] Mani: "It's not Gerand."
[23:25] Alathon: Marlon is glad to hear it.
[23:25] Sheena: (eh? Reinforcements?)
[23:25] Fumiko: (Hear what? that it's not Gerand?)
[23:25] Alathon: He hears what Mani said.
[23:25] Mani: (That too, probably. :) )
[23:26] Alathon: He has sufficient tact not to comment on that, if he hears it.
[23:26] Mani: (He has met him.)
[23:26] Mani: "Well, we should rest, and I'm sure you have things to do in light of what we've discussed."
[23:27] Alathon: It's early evening.. there's dinner available.
[23:27] Sakura: (hmm... /me considers making Sakura a Saturn fanboy)
[23:27] * Sheena heads off to raid her medkit and get some of her water
[23:27] * Fumiko eats dinner, and more undead stew.
[23:28] Fumiko: (Is saturn common knowledge?)
[23:28] * Mani goes off to get dinner and socialize around town a bit.
[23:28] Fumiko: (I thought only the inners were.)
[23:28] Sakura: (we know she exists, iirc)
[23:28] Alathon: (Link: http://staticchaos.webservepro.com/ctob/senshi.rtf)http://staticchaos.webservepro.com/ctob/senshi.rtf
[23:28] Sakura: (they show up to balls sometimes)
[23:28] Sakura: (we just know less about the outters)
[23:29] * Fumiko ends up in the brothel somehow.
[23:29] * Fumiko quickly leaves said brothel after realizing
[23:29] Alathon: The owner is disappointed, he was hoping you were a prospective employee.
[23:29] Alathon: Anyways..
[23:30] Alathon: A couple hours later, before you're all asleep, a militia private will head over to speak with Mani.
[23:30] Alathon: Private: "Ma'am.. there's a lady here who says she's to meet your lot."
[23:30] Alathon: Private: "You expectin' anyone?"
[23:31] Mani: "Thank you, yes, we are."
[23:31] Alathon: the Private nods.
[23:31] Alathon: Private: "She's got them same clothes as you all, but I figured I should, well, ask, an such.."
[23:31] * Mani looks to see if she's in sight.
[23:31] Alathon: Private he stammers off, before heading back to the front of the building.
[23:31] * Mani goes to the front of the building.
[23:32] Alathon: He'll return soon with a young woman, who appears to be in her high teens or low twenties.
[23:32] Alathon: She's wearing a tan External Affairs uniform.. from the shoulders up, she looks a bit like this.
[23:32] Alathon: (Link: http://staticchaos.webservepro.com/ctob/usa-pretty.jpg)http://staticchaos.webservepro.com/ctob/usa-pretty.jpg
[23:32] * Mani stops and waits when she sees he's bringing her back.
[23:32] Alathon: You would, in fact, recognize her immediately.
[23:33] Mani: (The princess?)
[23:33] Sakura: (am I in the room?)
[23:33] Alathon: She kinda takes more after her father, Endymion, in facial structure.
[23:33] Sheena: (are we toghter?)
[23:33] Alathon: Everyone's in the room who doesn't wanna be
[23:33] Alathon: er
[23:33] Mani: ...
[23:33] Sakura: (what?)
[23:33] Sakura: (lol)
[23:33] Alathon: everyone's in the room, who doesn't not want to be
[23:33] Fumiko: (huh?)
[23:33] Sheena: (we get it!)
[23:33] Alathon: unless you're doing something else, you're there
[23:33] Sakura: (if you want in, your in.)
[23:33] * Mani immediately straightens to attention.
[23:33] Mani: "Ma'am."
[23:34] * Sakura 's eyes widen
[23:34] * Sheena bites back a yelp as she stands at attention
[23:34] Alathon: Usagi: "Mani, is it not?"
[23:34] Mani: "Yes, ma'am."
[23:34] * Sakura stands at attention
[23:34] * Fumiko bows
[23:34] Alathon: Usagi steps forward and gives Mani a brief hug.
[23:34] Alathon: Usagi: "Glad to meet you."
[23:34] Sheena: (uh oh..)
[23:34] Alathon: Usagi nods politely to the rest of the party as well, acknowledging their greetings.
[23:34] Sheena: (oh safe..)
[23:35] Alathon: End here
[23:35] * Fumiko stares at the pretty pink hair.
[23:35] Sheena: Cat lover!
[23:35] *** Ala-bot has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[23:35] Sheena: Our princess is biased!
[23:35] Sakura: "Sheena... not one word... not ONE word...."
[23:35] * Fumiko is definitely going to see if the princess is a lesbian.
[23:35] * Sheena sigh
[23:36] Sheena: For one thing sessions over
[23:36] Fumiko: So Pretty!
[23:36] Sheena: for another your totaly going to blow Sheena game
[23:36] Sheena: and she is going to kill you
[23:36] Fumiko: Sheena's after her too?
[23:36] Sheena: never mind
[23:36] Mani: Geez... remember who she is.
[23:36] * Sakura must stay pure for his beloved Saturn-chan
[23:36] Sakura: j/
[23:36] Sakura: k
[23:37] *** Sakura is now known as Ataru.
[23:37] Alathon: heh
[23:37] * Fumiko thinks the pinkies would look cute together.
[23:37] Ataru: man, this is going to be really, really, uncomfortable for Sakura
[23:37] Alathon: you know, it'd probably be perfectly normal for people to crush on and lust after the senshi, the way we do celebrities
[23:37] *** Fumiko is now known as Strata|afk.
[23:37] Alathon: actually try to score with them, now, that'd be a little tougher
[23:37] * Ataru wonders when the princess will notice the similarities
[23:37] *** Sheena is now known as DCG.
[23:37] Mani: Sure, but there's a huge difference between that and hitting on them.
[23:37] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[23:37] DCG: sheena was just worried about the upcoming pain if that was huges for all
[23:37] * Strata|afk will be subtle.
[23:38] DCG: but no! its biases mooncat props
[23:38] Ataru: you're as subtle as fatman and little boy
[23:38] Strata|afk: I'm sure she'd much rather date within her own species.
[23:38] Ataru: which you aren't
[23:38] Strata|afk: I am.
[23:38] Strata|afk: I'm as human as Sheena is.
[23:38] Ataru: you're a fucking kitsune
[23:39] Strata|afk: I'm a person who can turn into a Kitsune. I was born human.
[23:39] DCG: Who said sheena was human?
[23:39] Ataru: heh
[23:39] Ataru: so al, like I said...
[23:39] Strata|afk: I'm more human than Mani anyway.
[23:39] Ataru: how long before the princess notices the similarities?
[23:40] Strata|afk: my base form is human.
[23:40] Alathon: uh..
[23:40] Alathon: immediately?
[23:40] Ataru: I beg to differ
[23:40] *** Stratagemini has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[23:40] Ataru: heh
[23:40] Ataru: will she comment?
[23:40] DCG: SO is usa an uber senshi level, or is she about our norm?
[23:40] Strata|afk: Will Usagi get upset that Kounji is embarrassed by his hair?
[23:40] Ataru: will I have to will save to keep from going ballistic?
[23:40] Yarrow: I'm sure she's seen our files.
[23:40] Strata|afk: We aren't even our level DCG.
[23:41] Alathon: Usagi isn't a moron, guys aren't normally partial to pink
[23:41] DCG: ..
[23:41] Alathon: even in this universe, where people have anime hair
[23:41] DCG: huh?
[23:41] *** Stratagemini has joined #crystaltokyo.
[23:41] Alathon: Usagi is really powerful, but also, not that powerful
[23:41] Alathon: she gets the 20 pt version of dynamic sorcery
[23:41] Strata|afk: Battlewise Sheena and Kounji are on an entirely different level from say me and Mani.
[23:41] Ataru: how many ranks?
[23:41] Alathon: you'll see
[23:41] Strata|afk: Gerand had 4.
[23:42] Alathon: Gerand had 5
[23:42] Strata|afk: so probably 6?
[23:42] Ataru: of the 20point version? O_O
[23:42] Strata|afk: he did?
[23:42] Ataru: where the fuck did he get the cp?
[23:42] Ataru: that's 120cp
[23:42] Strata|afk: oh. yeah. he did.
[23:42] Strata|afk: forgot the rank of dynamic sorc
[23:42] Strata|afk: Ataru. he was a Student class.
[23:42] Alathon: Gerand had the 8 pt version
[23:42] Strata|afk: with a whole hell of a lot of defects.
[23:43] Ataru: ah
[23:43] Ataru: ok, makes sense
[23:43] * Ataru wants 10 ranks of 20 point dynamic sorc
[23:43] Strata|afk: The 20 pnt version is all class spells?
[23:43] DCG: 20 point?
[23:43] Ataru: could have done it in DCG's game too... if he let me be just a little cheaper
[23:43] Ataru: 20point i

Session 19
[18:09] Alathon: Anyways
[18:10] * Alathon switches off the Disturbed, and puts on the Tool
[18:10] Yarrow: Ok, now he's on the balcony with one of them.
[18:10] Yarrow: As for foxgirl, well, obviously Tsukasa will kill her when she returns. :)
[18:10] Alathon: We left off with the party having received reinforcements.. namely Princess Usagi Tsukino.
[18:10] Tsukasa: ;_;
[18:10] *** Ataru is now known as Sakura.
[18:10] *** Yarrow is now known as Mani.
[18:11] Sheena: The army of one.
[18:11] Alathon: Who appears to be in her late teens or early twenties, has her hair down, is wearing the usual tan uniform.
[18:11] Alathon: And who greeted Mani with a rather surprising hug.
[18:11] Mani: (It took me a moment to remember who the hell I am... stupid hoard of NPCs...)
[18:11] Sakura: (Sakura is torn between being thrilled to be working with the princess, to crying for the same reason)
[18:11] Alathon: Usagi looks around the room, curiously, before noting the large open pot.
[18:11] Alathon: Usagi: "Free eats?"
[18:12] Mani: "Uh, yes."
[18:12] Alathon: Usagi grins.
[18:12] Sakura: (like mother like daughter)
[18:12] Tsukasa: (Heh)
[18:12] Alathon: Usagi: "Well, well, well.. later, I suppose."
[18:12] Sakura: (!... Self control...)
[18:12] Sheena: "The never ending stew, it's... interesting"
[18:12] Mani: (And for the first time since the founding of the town, the pot gets emptied.)
[18:13] Alathon: Usagi: "Is there somewhere we could go to have a private discussion?"
[18:13] Sheena: (Whats this moving on the bottom? Eek!)
[18:13] Sakura: (so... we're now two pink heads and two red heads, huh?)
[18:13] Alathon: ((yup))
[18:13] Sheena: (any islands in range? or is yuuno still pooped?)
[18:13] Mani: (Do we know of a private room we can use?)
[18:14] Alathon: Yuuno: "I know this great spot on.. one of those Hawaiin islands. I dunno which, but it's great."
[18:14] Alathon: Yuuno: "No people, no civilization.. but best of all, no predators!"
[18:14] Mani: "Well, that sounds rather private. Will that do?"
[18:14] Alathon: Usagi grins.
[18:14] Sakura: (are there ruins?)
[18:14] Alathon: Usagi: "A bit more private than I really expected, but hey.. better safe than sorry, right?"
[18:14] * Mani nods.
[18:15] * Sheena pets the ferret that knows all the cool spots.
[18:15] Alathon: Yuuno looks around.
[18:15] Alathon: Yuuno: "We wanna leave from here?"
[18:15] Alathon: There's a certain amount of interest from the few militia types still eating.
[18:15] Alathon: Usagi is fairly cute, after all.
[18:15] * Sheena checks her pack and ammo mags
[18:15] Mani: "Mm, how about we go outside first."
[18:16] Alathon: Usagi: "That'd probably be best."
[18:16] Alathon: Usagi heads back out the way she came in, pausing at a couple turns to make sure she's going the right way.
[18:16] Alathon: She does, however, find the door.
[18:16] * Mani follows.
[18:16] Sheena: "I got all my gear, forgot two shells behind with in that town tho"
[18:16] * Sheena keeps up with there "new" leader
[18:17] * Sakura brings up the rear
[18:17] Sheena: (and while no ones looking sakura gives the fox girl a new smile, ear to ear
[18:17] Sakura: (hahahaha)
[18:18] Mani: (Stop bucking for a promotion.)
[18:18] Sheena: (lol)
[18:18] Alathon: Yuuno will succeed in teleporting the party to an indeterminate Hawaiin island.
[18:19] * Sakura takes a nice deep breath of fresh sea air
[18:19] Alathon: It's a bit further west, so it's well past dark here.
[18:19] Alathon: The sky is clear however, and the stars and moon combine to light the area reasonably well.
[18:20] Alathon: You're all on a beach. A very large beach.. it's beach as far as you can see up and down the coast, with the sand fading into tallgrasses in the distance away from shore.
[18:20] * Sheena takes off her shades to get a clear look at the stars
[18:20] Alathon: Usagi: "Nice."
[18:20] Alathon: Fumiko: "Hmm.. this is a lovely spot."
[18:20] Sakura: "I love the beach."
[18:21] Alathon: Usagi looks around for a moment, before deciding that 'here' is the right spot.. and plops down.
[18:21] Alathon: Usagi: "Everyone have a seat, please."
[18:21] * Mani sits down.
[18:21] * Sakura does so
[18:21] Sheena: "Ya great place, unless you drink to much, sleep in forgoting to feed the furball, And wake up on a random island."
[18:21] * Sheena sits with the group
[18:21] Alathon: Yuuno chitters softly.. it sounds rather like a snicker.
[18:22] Alathon: Usagi twists to face Mani.
[18:22] Alathon: Usagi: "First off.. my appologies if I got a bit more friendly than you're used to."
[18:22] Alathon: Usagi: "A couple of you looked like you were about ready to start bowing or 'your highnessing' me, and I wanted to head that off real quick."
[18:22] * Sakura blushes and looks down
[18:23] Alathon: Fumiko looks a little discomfited, but doesn't respond.
[18:23] Mani: "I was somewhat surprised.... But I figured you wouldn't want to be addressed by your title."
[18:23] Alathon: Usagi scootches over a bit, so she can face the entire group.
[18:24] Alathon: Usagi: "Anyways.. my presence here isn't precisely a secret.. but it's not information we're giving away for free, either."
[18:24] Alathon: Usagi: "No need to get any opportunists thinking in the wrong direction when we don't have to."
[18:24] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[18:25] Alathon: Usagi: "So.. before we get down to business, tell me about yourselves."
[18:25] Alathon: Usagi: "I'm sure you know I've read your files, etcetera.. but there's a lot those don't say, that matters."
[18:25] * Sheena looks over to mani
[18:25] Mani: (*sends a copy of her bio/writeup to Usagi's communicator. :) )
[18:26] * Sakura swallows a large lump in his throat
[18:26] Alathon: (Usagi puts sand down your shirt for that))
[18:26] Sheena: (considering these uniforms are a bit tight, that would indeed suck)
[18:26] Mani: ("Could we talk somewhere else, please... I feel like I'm in the world's biggest litter box...")
[18:26] Sakura: (lol)
[18:27] Alathon: Usagi: "Alright.. I'll go first."
[18:27] Alathon: Usagi stands up and backs up a bit.
[18:28] Alathon: Usagi: "Hi, I'm Usagi Tsukino, age 971. I'm a freelance assistant to whoever needs help within Crystal Tokyo."
[18:28] Mani: (Uh oh... she's going to do a dance number.)
[18:28] Alathon: Usagi: "When I grow up, I wanna be Empress of the Galaxy."
[18:28] Sheena: (why does this usa seem like that type thats going to end up crashing at our place?)
[18:28] * Alathon plops back down on the sand.
[18:28] * Sheena blinks at that
[18:28] * Sakura chokes back a laugh
[18:29] Sheena: "Galaxy? We bearly controll our own island."
[18:29] Sheena: "err..."
[18:29] Alathon: Usagi grins.
[18:29] Alathon: Usagi: "I'm not totally serious about that part."
[18:29] Alathon: Usagi: "I mean, can you imagine the bureacracy it'd take?"
[18:29] Alathon: Usagi: "It'd be a nightmare!"
[18:29] Sheena: "Only the solar system then?"
[18:30] Alathon: Usagi snorts, a little unlady-like.
[18:30] Sheena: (usa wants to bump off jurai)
[18:30] Alathon: Usagi: "I'll settle for a continent if it keeps the government to a manageable size."
[18:30] Mani: "Delegation is the key."
[18:30] Alathon: Usagi shrugs.
[18:31] Alathon: Usagi: "That's what bureacracy is, isn't it? A gigantic branching tree of delegated responsibility."
[18:31] * Sheena pokes mani
[18:31] Sheena: "Your turn?"
[18:31] Mani: "Ok."
[18:31] * Mani stands up.
[18:32] Mani: "My name is Mani aka Caoilinn, age 19. I live with Sheena & Sakura in Crystal Tokyo."
[18:33] Sheena: (gah im the oldest!)
[18:33] Sheena: (no wait usa is..)
[18:33] Sakura: (you are? O_o)
[18:33] Mani: (You're over 971?)
[18:33] Mani: (One second...)
[18:34] Mani: (Why do guests always insist on talking to you...)
[18:35] Sakura: (lol)
[18:36] Alathon: ((if someone else wants to go, go for it
[18:37] Alathon: ((we'll pretend continuity wasn't broken))
[18:37] Mani: "My parents wanted me to follow in the family business, which would be that bureaucracy you were talking about, but I decided I'd to do something a bit more exciting, as I'd go crazy doing that for hundreds of years."
[18:37] * Mani looks from side to side suspiciously.
[18:37] Mani: "And when I grow up, *I* wanna be Empress of the Galaxy."
[18:38] * Mani nods shortly and sits back down.
[18:38] Sakura: "Is it wise to advertise a military coup in front of royalty?"
[18:38] Alathon: Usagi grins.
[18:38] Alathon: Usagi: "It is if you want them to be merciful when it fails."
[18:39] Alathon: Usagi looks over at Sakura.
[18:39] Alathon: Usagi: "You?"
[18:39] Sheena: "With our record? They would likly watch us blow a bunch of stuff up then fine of for the damage"
[18:40] Sakura: "Err..."
[18:40] Alathon: Usagi looks back at Sheena.
[18:40] * Sakura stands
[18:40] Alathon: Usagi: "When you're blowing someone elses stuff up, that's usually called 'reparations', not a fine."
[18:40] Alathon: Usagi looks back to Sakura, waiting.
[18:41] Sakura: "I am Sakura Kuonji, age 29. I am a ninja by trade, but I mostly try to keep these two (points to Mani and Sheena) out of trouble... Oh, and I make a mean okonomiyaki. When I grow up, I'd be more then happy with a little private island like this one."
[18:42] * Sakura sits back down
[18:42] Alathon: Usagi: "Ooh, a potential land owner."
[18:42] Alathon: Usagi looks over to Fumiko.
[18:43] Sakura: (Fumiko: "I'll fuck anything that moves.")
[18:43] Alathon: Fumiko smiles, and stands up in one smooth movement.
[18:43] Alathon: Fumiko: "Fumiko Hayashibara, age 27. I specialize in espionage.. the fun kind."
[18:43] Alathon: Fumiko gives a saucy smile.
[18:44] Alathon: Fumiko: "I aspire to an eventful and entertaining life."
[18:44] Alathon: Fumiko sits down, indian style.
[18:45] Sheena: (shit, al whats the magic system raging heart is based on?)
[18:45] Alathon: (Midchildan)
[18:45] Alathon: Usagi looks over at Sheena.
[18:47] Mani: (Maybe DCG has company, too.)
[18:47] Sheena: (no just writing it out in word, for your sakes)
[18:47] Sakura: (O_o
[18:47] Sakura: )
[18:47] Sakura: (oh... spell check?)
[18:47] Alathon: ((heh))
[18:48] Alathon: ((You can just do it in short lines, you know))
[18:48] Sheena: “Ok this is a bit odd for me.. Mani’s been a friend for a long time now, and Sakura is the don’t ask don’t tell type”
[18:48] Sheena: “Names Sheena, Just Sheena as far as I know. Stuck as ward of that state for as long as I can remember. Then Yuuno drops in one day and lets me know im one of the rare humans with a linker core.
[18:48] Sheena: Witch lets me generate my own magical energy instead of channeling it or summoning it from some being.”
[18:48] Sheena: (i was,)
[18:49] Sheena: “I made good friends in school, got put on a team with em later. I spend my time training my core, and learning about the Midchildan system of magic from Yuuno and Dark Heart.”
[18:49] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[18:49] Sheena: “My goal it to one day take the title of the White Demon, She was supposedly the strongest magic user ever know. At lest from yuuno’s stores, then again most of them don’t sound like they are from this world.”
[18:49] Sheena: “And this is Yuuno, or Professor Yuuno when I can’t make it to classes in time”
[18:49] Sheena: (Stuck last so mins a bit longer :P)
[18:49] Alathon: Yuuno pops out from under the sand when he hears his name.
[18:49] Alathon: Yuuno: "Huh, what?"
[18:50] * Sheena sigh
[18:50] Alathon: Yuuno: "This better be good, it was comfy!"
[18:50] Sakura: (hey, you didn't mention an age)
[18:50] Sheena: (ic that)
[18:50] Alathon: Usagi stifles a giggle.
[18:51] Sakura: "You know... I've lived with you for four years.... and I still don't know how old you are."
[18:51] Sheena: "Im about 23 years old, but since i don't know my birthdate thats give or take a year."
[18:52] * Sakura nods
[18:52] Sakura: "Well, you'll have to pick a day for us to celebrate on then!"
[18:52] Alathon: Usagi grins.
[18:52] Alathon: Usagi: "Yeah, totally. Just because you don't know what day you were born, is no reason not to have a birthday!"
[18:53] * Sheena shurges
[18:53] Sheena: "Sounds good to me"
[18:54] Alathon: Usagi: "Anyways.. now that we at least sorta, kinda, know each other.. let's get down to business."
[18:54] Mani: "Celebrate on Sakura's. It's weird being around people who have birthdays all to themselves."
[18:54] Sakura: (eh?)
[18:54] Alathon: ((for those who don't immediately get it, cats litter))
[18:55] Sakura: (ah)
[18:55] Alathon: Usagi: "First things first.. we need to re-visit.. Barley, was it?"
[18:55] * Mani nods.
[18:55] Alathon: Usagi: "The village where you encountered those bony monsters."
[18:55] Sheena: "You know about them all ready?"
[18:56] Alathon: Usagi: "Less than you."
[18:56] Mani: "Yes, that was Barley."
[18:56] Sakura: "She was probably one of the first people to see that report."
[18:56] * Sheena is still hurting
[18:56] Alathon: Usagi: "This entire scenario stinks of some sort of summoning ritual. We need to confirm whether that's the case."
[18:56] Sheena: "Don't let em hit you,"
[18:56] Alathon: Usagi nods at Sheena.
[18:57] Alathon: Usagi: "I do try to avoid that."
[18:57] * Sheena pulls out a couple of her mags checking the shell load
[18:57] Sakura: (next level up I'll take some medical skill)
[18:57] Sheena: "If this keeps up im going to need more AP rounds"
[18:57] Alathon: Usagi: "If this is the case, we'll take whatever steps are necessary to interfere with it, halt it, and ideally sanction those responsible."
[18:58] Alathon: Usagi looks over at Sheena.
[18:58] Alathon: Usagi: "Rounds.. for your staff?"
[18:58] * Sheena holds out her hand and lets dark heart form
[18:59] Sheena: "Ya, It loads a shot of raw magic while im channeling an attack"
[18:59] * Sheena unloads the mag and lets DarkHeart enject a cassing itself
[19:00] Alathon: Usagi: "Ahh.. so, this lets you store magical charges, to expend when you need them most -- in combat."
[19:00] Alathon: Usagi: "Makes sense."
[19:01] Sheena: "Combat is mostly what i do"
[19:01] Alathon: ((btw, you need to give me a listing of which of your 26 remaining shells are which))
[19:01] * Sheena picks up the shell and cleans it off before reloading the mag and rearming dark heart.
[19:02] Sheena: (didnt i do that? Ahh its empty)
[19:02] Alathon: Usagi: "Well, back to the topic."
[19:02] *** Strata|AFK has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[19:03] Alathon: Usagi: "We've been asked to carry out this investigation by the leader of the Nevadan metahuman corp, which as far as I'm concerned is tacit permission to handle the situation as a whole."
[19:03] *** Stratagemini has joined #crystaltokyo.
[19:04] Alathon: Usagi: "My mother feels quite strongly about mass sacrifices to fuel summonings, as do I."
[19:04] Sheena: (ok, updated my sheet al)
[19:04] * Mani nods.
[19:04] Sheena: (the online one that is)
[19:05] Sakura: "Mass sacrafices? Like the leveled villages?"
[19:05] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[19:05] Alathon: Usagi: "If that's what they are, rather than revenge killings, or sheer insanity."
[19:05] Sheena: "To fule summons, Just what kinda bad guys we dealing with here. Thoes are real demons?"
[19:05] Alathon: Usagi shrugs.
[19:05] Alathon: Usagi: "There are real demons."
[19:06] Alathon: Usagi: "There are, in fact, many life forms which are functionally demonic from where we stand."
[19:06] Alathon: Usagi: "I can't say for sure exactly what you fought, without at least examining its remains."
[19:06] Mani: "Well, we have a skull."
[19:06] Alathon: Usagi: "Which is party of why we're headed back to Barley.."
[19:06] Sheena: (wheres that skull at any way?)
[19:06] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[19:06] Alathon: Usagi hmms to herself.
[19:07] Sheena: "Im a little sore but still good to go"
[19:07] Alathon: ((what are your hitpoints?)
[19:07] Sheena: (more like hopped up on painkillers
[19:07] Alathon: Usagi looks up at Sheena.
[19:08] Alathon: Usagi: "Oh? Where are you hurt?"
[19:08] Sheena: (50 i belive)
[19:08] Sakura: (out of?)
[19:08] Sheena: (70()
[19:08] * Sheena peals down her top some.
[19:08] Sheena: "One of the bastereds tried to drive me into the ground like a nail"
[19:09] Alathon: Usagi stands up, walks over to Sheena, and softly lays one of her hands on Sheena's injured shoulder.
[19:09] Alathon: A soft, white light is for a moment visible, seeming to come out of Sheena's shoulder.
[19:09] Alathon: roll 4d8+8
[19:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4d8+8 --> [ 4d8=13 ]{21}
[19:10] Alathon: ((Healed for 21 hp))
[19:10] Sheena: (woot)
[19:10] Alathon: Usagi looks down at Sheena.
[19:10] Alathon: Usagi: "Better?"
[19:10] * Sheena shudders a bit
[19:10] Sakura: (as long as we're getting healed.... j/k, it's only 11 hp)
[19:10] Sheena: "You have... Interesting magic"
[19:10] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[19:10] * Sheena tests her range of moition"
[19:11] Sheena: "Ya, feels good as new"
[19:11] Alathon: Usagi: "I suppose I do."
[19:11] Sheena: "THanks a lot"
[19:11] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[19:11] Alathon: Usagi: "Think nothing of it."
[19:11] Alathon: Usagi looks around.
[19:11] Alathon: Usagi: "Is anybody else injured?"
[19:12] * Mani looks at Sakura.
[19:12] * Sakura looks at Mani "What?"
[19:12] Mani: "I thought you were hurt somewhat."
[19:12] Sakura: "It's just a scratch, I'll be better in the morning."
[19:13] Alathon: Usagi shrugs.
[19:13] Alathon: Usagi: "If you say so."
[19:13] Alathon: Usagi: "Anyways.. we should head back, get some grub, and some sleep."
[19:13] Alathon: Usagi: "We'll make further plans after we've reached Barley."
[19:13] Mani: "Did you want to see the skull?"
[19:13] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[19:13] Sheena: "Do you have a chopper?"
[19:14] Alathon: Usagi: "After I've had a meal."
[19:14] Sheena: (or do we have a spare?)
[19:14] Alathon: Usagi: "Hmm.. Yuuno can't teleport us there?"
[19:14] Alathon: Yuuno: "Um.. if it's tomorrow, I can.. I think I'm good for about one more tonight, and that's it."
[19:14] Sheena: "Yuuno's got the skill, but the little guy can only put out so much power each day"
[19:15] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[19:15] Alathon: Usagi: "Tomorrow."
[19:15] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[19:15] Sakura: "You might also need one if we investigate the other villages... as far as I know, he can only teleport to places he's been."
[19:15] Alathon: Usagi: "Is there anything anyone feels a need to discuss while we still have real privacy?"
[19:16] Sakura: ("Permission to kill anyone who looks at you the wrong way?")
[19:16] Sheena: "Nothing i want to talk about"
[19:16] Alathon: Usagi: "Oh, good point. Hmm.. I do have my hoverboard."
[19:17] Sakura: (hoverboards common in CT? if so, I fucking want one.)
[19:17] Mani: (It's the Pink Surfer.)
[19:17] Sheena: "That works out side the city?"
[19:17] Alathon: ((if you want one, you can afford one.))
[19:17] Sakura: (bad timing on my part... damn you Yarrow!)
[19:18] Alathon: Usagi: "If you have the means to provide energy for them. I do."
[19:18] Mani: (Stole your line?)
[19:18] Sheena: (damn senshi!)
[19:18] Alathon: Usagi: "Anyways.. Yuuno?"
[19:18] Mani: (Probably just costs EP...)
[19:18] Alathon: Yuuno: "Okay.. one more teleport, coming up."
[19:18] Sakura: (no... but with me wanting one, that pink surfer comment could really apply to either me or the princess)
[19:19] Sheena: (luna-p's stuck with hover bord duty)
[19:19] Alathon: ((You notice a somewhat creepy cat face on the bottom of her hoverboard.))
[19:19] Alathon: Yuuno teleports the party back to behind the Militia building.
[19:20] Alathon: When you head inside, Usagi will settle down to consuming the stew.
[19:20] Alathon: A lot of it.
[19:20] Sakura: (where we surprise a guy getting a bj from a hooker)
[19:20] Alathon: Nearly a quarter of the pot, in fact.
[19:20] Sheena: "The never ending stew has met its match"
[19:20] Sakura: "Where... Where does it go?"
[19:20] Alathon: ((no, they have a brothel for that. and it's unlikely anyone in the militia has the money to get them to do house calls))
[19:20] * Sheena makes a mental note to keep her stash of water away from the princess
[19:21] Alathon: Usagi looks up, after slurping down a large spoonful.
[19:21] Alathon: Usagi: "Fast metabolism, high energy needs."
[19:21] Alathon: Usagi goes back to scarfing down the stew.
[19:21] Sheena: (ranma: *achoo* Hey some ones useing my excuse!)
[19:22] Alathon: Anyways.. unless anyone else has something they want to do this evening, you'll be able to sleep without incident.
[19:22] Sakura: (Ranma, chibi-usa's real father)
[19:22] Sakura: (how much HP is it an hour?)
[19:22] Alathon: ((blonde + red = pink?))
[19:22] Sakura: (1 right?)
[19:22] Alathon: ((10 hp per 24 hours of rest))
[19:22] * Sheena goes over her shell count one last time before bed
[19:22] Rockman_Zero: (No, Blonde + Red = Orange. :P)
[19:22] Alathon: ((since you're lvl 10))
[19:23] Alathon: ((so.. none until you have a day of rest))
[19:23] Sakura: (That's... fucking lame.)
[19:23] Alathon: ((eh, healing just isn't That fast))
[19:23] Sheena: (unless you take a bit of regen)
[19:23] Sakura: (it's anime, of course it is)
[19:23] Alathon: Morning comes.. baths are had, food is eaten, etc etc.
[19:23] Tsukasa: (Regretting turning down the healing offer now? ;) )
[19:24] Sakura: (regen is every 6 seconds)
[19:24] Alathon: ((it's anime, you're capable of healing from massive crushing blows and sword cuts, without stiches and surgery))
[19:24] Sakura: (naw, I've got a fuck load of hp)
[19:24] Alathon: roll 1d20+16 spot
[19:24] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16 spot --> [ 1d20=1 ]{17}
[19:24] Alathon: sigh
[19:25] Alathon: And Usagi totally fails to notice that Sakura is wounded.
[19:25] Alathon: Usagi: "Well, let's move out."
[19:25] * Mani looks Sakura over and frowns.
[19:25] Mani: "Are you sure you're ok?"
[19:26] Sakura: "Yup, I'm in perfect shape."
[19:26] Alathon: Usagi takes a moment to concentrate, eyes closed.
[19:26] * Sheena puts 4 oddly colored rounds down her shirt before zipping it up.
[19:27] Alathon: For fractions of a second, transparent fields appear around her.. first, hugging her body, then in a cylinder around her, then a sphere.
[19:27] Alathon: ((You're gonna need some serious acrobatics to do a Grenadier reload))
[19:27] * Sheena watchs another magical girls change to compaire
[19:27] Mani: "If you say so... it just looked like you were favoring your side here."
[19:27] * Mani pokes a spot on Sakura's side.
[19:28] Sheena: ((with a staff? Heh, Right now there in a modfide bra holster)
[19:28] Alathon: Nothing really happens to Usagi's clothes.. she's still wearing a tan External Affairs armor-uniform.
[19:28] Sheena: (hmmm..
[19:28] Sakura: (roll fort or something?)
[19:28] * Sheena "awww"
[19:28] Alathon: ((You can no-sell it if you want to, since it's a dramatic moment, not combat ;p ))
[19:28] * Sakura smiles through clenched teeth
[19:28] Sheena: (pfft)
[19:28] Sakura: "Tip-top."
[19:29] Sheena: "hey that looks like fun, can i poke to"
[19:29] * Sheena slow reachs her finger out
[19:29] * Sakura teleports to the other side of Sheena
[19:30] Mani: (Ninja teleport's at max range only. :) )
[19:30] Sakura: (oh, right...)
[19:30] * Sakura teleports 30 ft ahead of sheena
[19:30] Sheena: (really? odd defect)
[19:30] Alathon: ((huh?))
[19:30] Alathon: ((pretty sure they can only teleport UP TO the max range))
[19:30] Sakura: (er.. wait... I think al is right... ignore the retcon then)
[19:31] Sakura: (It's up to max SAFE range)
[19:31] Sheena: "Meh, i can show off to."
[19:31] Mani: (Special Note
[19:31] Mani: Ninja may only use the Teleport Attribute at the maximum safe distance.)
[19:31] Mani: (Right before table 5-12.)
[19:31] * Sheena just fall foward a bit before rolling over and floating in the air
[19:31] Alathon: Yes, and I'm interpreting that to mean "up to"
[19:32] Mani: (Ok.)
[19:32] Alathon: because there's absolutely nothing about anime Ninja's that would constrain them to teleport only 30 ft
[19:32] Sheena: "Im temped to try sleeping like this some time, but knowing yuuno he would dump me some place over the ocean for a wake up suprise"
[19:32] Alathon: I'm pretty sure that's supposed to represent how Ninja's usually just vanish then appear behind opponents, or on tree limbs, or through doors, etc etc
[19:32] Sheena: (replacement! *poof*
[19:32] Sakura: (dude, and think about if they get more then one rank...)
[19:33] Sakura: (then you'd only be able to teleport like a fucking mile... and that'd be god damn useless in combat)
[19:33] Alathon: Anyways
[19:33] Alathon: Usagi: "Are we all ready to go?"
[19:33] Alathon: Fumiko: "Ready to roll."
[19:33] Sheena: "Yes, ma'am"
[19:33] Mani: "One moment, please."
[19:33] Sheena: (poke again?)
[19:33] Mani: "Sakura, could I speak to you privately."
[19:34] Sakura: "Shouldn't we get a move on?"
[19:34] Alathon: Usagi pauses, waiting to see how this plays out.
[19:34] Mani: "It will only take a moment."
[19:35] * Sheena adjusts her shades and checks to see if she has her flight mask
[19:35] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[19:35] * Sakura looks to Usagi
[19:35] Sakura: "Ok."
[19:35] * Mani walks off a distance.
[19:35] * Sakura follows
[19:35] Mani: (For said privacy.)
[19:36] Alathon: ((go ahead.. conversation here or in PMs works))
[19:36] Sheena: (gah! Damn it, one of these days im going to track down that sound bite)
[19:36] Sakura: (what sound bite?)
[19:37] Sheena: (every time Mr.47 comes in talking about murder it freaks the hella outa me)
[19:37] Sakura: (O_o)
[19:37] Sheena: ( i got like 5000 mp3's whatnot on my HD's, mr.47 is hidding in there some place)
[19:37] Mani: "If you insist you're not hurt, I'll take you at your word, but I want you to understand that if you're not operating at full effectiveness, we as a group aren't either. And if you get in trouble because of it, one or more of the rest of us could also get hurt trying to help you."
[19:39] Mani: "So, if you didn't heal as quickly as you expected, don't feel that you should just keep quiet."
[19:39] Sakura: "I'd like to think I'm enough of a professional to know when I am, and am not operating at full efectiveness. Am I a little sore? Yes. Am I as banged up as Sheena was no, and I'm not going to ask her highness to heal me just because I've gotten a little roughed up.
[19:39] Sakura: "
[19:40] Sheena: (mani: Sakura your bloody arms cut off! Sakura; it's just a flesh wound!)
[19:41] Sakura: ("You're a bleedin' torso!" "I'll bite your legs off!")
[19:41] Mani: "There is something to what you say, but she is the healer and probably has a better idea of whether the benefit is worth what effort it would cost her."
[19:41] * Mani gives her head a little shrug.
[19:42] Mani: "And you operate on your own often. I'm a bit concerned, considering how strong these creatures are."
[19:42] Mani: "But, as I said, I will leave the final decision up to you."
[19:43] Sakura: "Thank you, I stand by my earlier descision."
[19:43] Sakura: (seriously, I currently have more HP then Sheena does at max ;p)
[19:44] Mani: "Very well. But remember that she did offer."
[19:44] * Mani walks back.
[19:44] Sheena: (i can all so fight from 2 miles up, you can't)
[19:45] Mani: (Still seems unwise to me to start a fight injured when you have the option of not doing so. *shrug*)
[19:45] Sakura: (yes, but it's in charachter :p)
[19:45] Sheena: (his a manly ninja)
[19:46] * Mani walks a little stiffly.
[19:46] Sakura: (he sometimes feels the need to overcompensate for his feminine appearance by acting really tough and macho)
[19:46] Alathon: ((it's a matter of .. yeah))
[19:46] Mani: (He's a Naruto ninja. :) )
[19:46] Alathon: ((eh, no, he's a guy stuck with bright pink hair))
[19:46] Sakura: (the fact that the princess is here, really just sort of compounds it)
[19:46] Alathon: ((of course he overcompensates now and then))
[19:46] Alathon: Usagi: "Okay.. I'll assume it's not any of my business."
[19:46] Alathon: Usagi: "Yuuno?"
[19:47] Alathon: Yuuno: "One teleport, coming up!"
[19:47] Alathon: The party will succeed in teleporting from the lot behind the militia headquarters, to the ex-village of Barley.
[19:47] Alathon: It's just as awful as it was yesterday... even after several weeks, there's a sort of cooked smell in the air
[19:48] Alathon: Like someone was roading a dozen really, really nice steaks... but without that nice steaky smell.
[19:48] Alathon: Just... that "something was roasted" smell.
[19:48] Mani: (Did Usagi look at the skull, btw?)
[19:48] * Sheena Looks around for her spent shells
[19:48] Sakura: (steaks? nah, try bacon or some other sort of pork)
[19:48] Alathon: ((I forgot.. therefor, she forgot))
[19:48] Alathon: Usagi holds out a hand.
[19:48] Alathon: Usagi: "Wait one moment... "
[19:48] Sheena: "Last time they ambushed us, jumping out of ruined buildings, Keep your eyes op..."
[19:49] * Mani frowns and looks around.
[19:49] Alathon: Usagi: "That's what I'm trying to prevent.. give me a few, and I'll have a vibe on everything within a few kilometres."
[19:49] Sheena: "Neat"
[19:49] Alathon: Usagi stands still, eyes just sorta staring off, for several minutes.
[19:49] Alathon: Nothing happens.
[19:49] * Sheena holds out her hand as dark heart snapes into place
[19:50] Mani: (And proceeds to make some biting comment.)
[19:51] Alathon: ((It says, "Damn this place smells great!" in clingon))
[19:51] Alathon: er, Klingon
[19:51] Sheena: (hah)
[19:52] Sheena: (heart has learned a bit more then "Lets shoot!" over the years)
[19:52] Sakura: (long pig, yummy)
[19:53] * Mani summons her armor (purple).
[19:53] Alathon: Usagi comes back to the lando f the living.
[19:53] Alathon: ((hmm.. it's purple now instead of green? what about the swords?))
[19:53] Sakura: (lando? is she gonna do colt 45 commercials now?)
[19:54] Alathon: ((rofl.. the guy who played Lando Calrizian did commercials for Colt 45?))
[19:54] Alathon: ((damn that's classic))
[19:54] Sakura: (yeah, billy dee williams ^_^)
[19:54] Alathon: Usagi: "I don't sense anything other than the wildlife I'd expect for an area like this."
[19:54] Mani: (The armor is summoned/dismissed at will in whatever color she desires. The swords are persistant, so unless she creates a new pair, they stay the same, which is currently a milky white.)
[19:54] Alathon: Usagi: "Mind you.. that's not a guarantee. I've been fooled before."
[19:54] Alathon: ((okay))
[19:54] Mani: "I have the same bad feeling I had last time I was here. How about you, Yuuno?"
[19:55] Alathon: Yuuno peeks up out of Sheena's cleavage.
[19:55] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yup."
[19:55] Alathon: Yuuno dives back in.
[19:55] Mani: "I suppose it could be from what was done here and not those creatures, though..."
[19:55] Alathon: The party hears a muffled "ow", as Yuuno jams his face against a shell.
[19:55] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[19:55] Sheena: "Carefully furball, if you set off one of thoes rounds its game over"
[19:55] Alathon: Usagi: "What sort of 'bad feeling'?"
[19:56] Alathon: Usagi: "Diana always had.. I dunno.. a way of having a vibe on situations."
[19:56] Mani: "I've had premonitions before..."
[19:56] Alathon: ((insert Nancy Reagan joke here))
[19:56] Sakura: (lol)
[19:56] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[19:57] Alathon: Usagi: "Well... "
[19:57] Alathon: Usagi sighs.
[19:57] Sakura: (oh that right, Diana's dead, huh?)
[19:57] Mani: "This feels similar but different. The premonitions were always brief. This feeling continues so long as I'm here."
[19:57] Sheena: (eh? when that happen?)
[19:57] Alathon: Usagi: "If this really was more than just a mass murder, if this was a purposeful sacrifice.. that can leave behind a sort of.. psychic stink."
[19:57] Sheena: "Might have something to do with that summoning.."
[19:57] * Mani nods.
[19:57] Alathon: ((Uh, diana is dead?))
[19:57] Sakura: (she gets murderd by one of the umm... whatcha ma callits... you know, there was iron mouse, and tin cat and some shit)
[19:57] Alathon: ((no shit?))
[19:58] Alathon: ((bleah, the DM needs to do more Sailor Moon research))
[19:58] Mani: (Mmm, I don't know.)
[19:58] Alathon: Usagi: "Let's procede.. and, let's be ready for a fight."
[19:58] Sheena: "Ok i got a question, How do we know what ever gate or portal they opened with this summoning is closed?"
[19:59] Alathon: Usagi will lead the group slowly down into the town, to the location of the previous fight.
[19:59] Sheena: (diana is just fine, she gets broght back as well i belive)
[19:59] Alathon: Usagi looks over her shoulder at Sheena.
[19:59] Sheena: (of corse usagi forgets about rei's crows, poor sisters)
[19:59] Alathon: Usagi: "depends on how they did it. We might not know."
[19:59] Alathon: Usagi: "I don't have enough experience with blood and death magicks to call myself an expert."
[19:59] * Sheena follows along keeping an eye out for her spent shells.
[19:59] Alathon: Usagi: "And I'd like to keep it that way."
[20:00] Sheena: (do i have to spot check or something? They should be kinda easy to see)
[20:01] Alathon: everyone, roll spot
[20:01] Sakura: roll 1d20+10
[20:01] Ala-bot: Sakura rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{17}
[20:02] Alathon: roll 1d20+16 Usagi's spot
[20:02] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16 Usagi's spot --> [ 1d20=18 ]{34}
[20:02] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[20:02] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{20}
[20:02] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5
[20:02] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{6}
[20:02] Sheena: (forgot what my spot was for a moent, Gah FAILED)
[20:02] Mani: ("What town?")
[20:03] Sheena: (didnt i fail it last session as well?)
[20:03] Alathon: Usagi looks around for a moment, before studying the skeleton.
[20:03] Alathon: Usagi: "Hmm.. one of you has the head, right?"
[20:03] Mani: "Sheena does."
[20:04] Alathon: Usagi holds out her hand to Sheena.
[20:04] Sheena: (i do?)
[20:04] * Sheena hands over the warped remains
[20:05] * Sakura is keeping a careful eye on the surroundings, and considers asking for permission to scout the perimeter again
[20:05] Alathon: Usagi carefullly places the brittle skull back with the rest of the bones, and lays a hand on the ribcage, meditating.
[20:07] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5 can i see now?
[20:07] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 can i see now? --> [ 1d20=10 ]{15}
[20:07] Sheena: (can i see my ammo now?)
[20:07] Alathon: Sheena will succeed in finding her used casings.
[20:08] * Sheena keeps an eye out as she pockets the spent ammo
[20:09] Alathon: ((btw, spent shells can't be reloaded.. you gotta get new ones))
[20:09] Alathon: ((because.. uh.. they're magic))
[20:09] Alathon: ((of course, leaving obvious evidence of your attakcs behind woudln't be too smart))
[20:09] Alathon: Usagi stands up a few moments later.
[20:09] Alathon: Usagi: "This was not an earthly being."
[20:09] Alathon: Usagi: "It was most certainly not a natural being, either."
[20:09] Sheena: ((eh? What happened to recharging them?))
[20:10] Sakura: (gee, that you princess obvious)
[20:10] Sakura: (err thank)
[20:10] Sheena: "Well thats good, i think"
[20:10] Alathon: ((eh, consider the situation.. it could very well have been mutated beings))
[20:10] Alathon: Usagi shakes her head.
[20:10] Alathon: Usagi: "No, it's bad."
[20:10] Alathon: Usagi: "because it means ....."
[20:10] Alathon: Usagi trails off.
[20:10] Alathon: Usagi: "Well, it could mean a lot of thigns."
[20:11] Tsukasa: (It means there are MORE of them)
[20:11] Alathon: Usagi: "Most likely.. something was summoned. It could have been them, or they coudl have been attracted by the easy access to our world."
[20:11] Mani: "The one good thing about it is that we should at least have a shot at putting a stop to them."
[20:11] Sakura: (can we break soon? I wanna hit the store before it's too late)
[20:11] Alathon: ((oh))
[20:11] Alathon: ((gimme a few, and yeah))
[20:11] Alathon: Usagi: "Easier said then done."
[20:11] Mani: "As opposed to it being a new species that would be very dangerous and hard to wipe out."
[20:11] * Mani nods.
[20:12] Alathon: Usagi cocks her head.
[20:12] Alathon: Usagi grins.
[20:12] Alathon: Usagi: "Well, there is that."
[20:12] Mani: ("Man, they never let me live down those toads I brought to CT from the 20th century...")
[20:12] Alathon: Usagi: "Give me a few minutes."
[20:13] Alathon: ((hypnotoads))
[20:13] Sakura: (heh)
[20:13] Mani: (Still, they did give us our most popular tv show...)
[20:13] Alathon: ((mm... I wonder what sort of hallucinogenic you'd get if you licked the back of a hypnotoad?))
[20:14] * Mani stands ready to intercept any attack on the princess.
[20:14] Mani: (The back is the safe side with hypnotoads. :) )
[20:15] Alathon: Usagi: "I.."?
[20:15] Alathon: Usagi sighs.
[20:15] Alathon: Usagi: "let's head back, I've got what I'm gonna get."
[20:15] Alathon: Usagi: "Yuuno?"
[20:15] Alathon: Yuuno: "Ready to roll.:"
[20:16] Alathon: Yuuno will wait for everyone to gather 'round, before teleporting the party back to Erickson.
[20:16] * Sakura gathers round
[20:17] Sakura: (well, behind the princess that is... gotta watch her back after all)
[20:17] Alathon: ((yeah, I'll bet))
[20:17] Alathon: The party will return to Erickson without incident.
[20:17] Tsukasa: (*wonders if you two are ever going to pull a twin act)
[20:17] Alathon: Once everyone is seated somewhere in the mess hall, Usagi will explain what she's figured out.
[20:17] Alathon: Usagi: "Okay.. "
[20:18] Alathon: Usagi: "That was a sacrifice."
[20:18] Mani: (Decoy.)
[20:18] Alathon: ((or.. stunt double))
[20:18] Alathon: ((I mean really, can you do better than a Ninja for a stunt double?))
[20:18] Mani: ("You fools! You captured their stunt doubles!")
[20:18] Sheena: (im sure the princess has better save rolls)
[20:18] Sheena: (space balls for the win
[20:18] Sakura: (lol)
[20:18] Mani: (Sure, but Sakura's infinitely more expendable. :) )
[20:18] Tsukasa: (Well, yes, but think about it this way: people thinking Kuonji and Usagi are hot _female_ twins)
[20:19] Sakura: (/me tabs tsukasa)
[20:19] Alathon: Usagi is clearly female, but she's not stacked the way her mother is
[20:19] Sakura: (eer stabs)
[20:19] Alathon: so, it'd be possible
[20:19] Alathon: from a distance at least
[20:19] Tsukasa: (Heheheh)
[20:20] Alathon: Usagi: "There's no question about it.. they killed all those people, to gather and spend their life-force."
[20:20] Alathon: Usagi: "What they brought through, I can't say for sure."
[20:20] Alathon: Usagi: "But......"
[20:20] Alathon: Usagi: "There aren't many kindly beings that'd accept that sort of sacrifice."
[20:20] Sheena: (usagi wasn't stacked at all.. if she' not like her mother that means she would give mani and sheena compation)
[20:20] Alathon: ((hmm, you're right))
[20:20] Rockman_Zero: (Meh, she doesn't have muych to worry about in the bust department, if Dark lady was any indication. :P)
[20:21] Mani: (Mani's slender with a small chest.)
[20:21] Alathon: ((Okay, so she IS like her mother.. B cup at best))
[20:21] Sheena: (*smacks al about with dark lady pics)
[20:21] Alathon: ((Dark Lady was a bad guy, bad guys automatically get two cup sizes bonus for being bad guys))
[20:21] Sheena: (pfft)
[20:22] Sheena: (welcom to the dark side, you are now a D cup, Usa: Sweet!)
[20:22] Alathon: ((dude, if your Dark Lady is stacked, that's totally cool.. because Jasmine will wanna do her))
[20:22] Alathon: ((but this Usagi isn't :( ))
[20:22] Sheena: (moveing on?)
[20:22] * Mani frowns.
[20:22] Alathon: Usagi looks over at Fumiko.
[20:22] Mani: "Do you think they summoned something to wipe out the people or that they did that under their own power?"
[20:22] Alathon: Usagi looks back at Mani.
[20:22] Sheena: "Ya, but who around here would do something like that? Or know how"
[20:23] Alathon: Usagi: "It could have been a Jacob's ladder deal.. where they summon enough to kill some more, to summon more, to kill more.."
[20:23] Alathon: Usagi looks a little disgusted discussing this.
[20:23] * Mani nods.
[20:23] Sakura: "Hmm... Blood and souls for the lord, anyone?"
[20:23] Alathon: Usagi: "But.. it looks like the entire place was burned. That suggests one murderer, or one type of murderer."
[20:23] Alathon: Usagi: "My gut feeling is, it was one giant murder, for one summoning."
[20:23] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[20:24] Alathon: Usagi looks at Sakura.
[20:24] Alathon: Usagi: "I beg your pardon?"
[20:24] Mani: "A description from a Yamaha rider of the Texan nation."
[20:24] Sakura: "We... ah... Had some rather disturbing intel about certain settlments down south. Of course, they might not even be remotely connected to what's going on now."
[20:25] Alathon: Usagi: "Explain."
[20:25] * Sheena gets a bit cold at the line of memoires that brings p
[20:25] Sheena: *up
[20:26] Alathon: ((actually))
[20:26] Alathon: ((this conversation is gonna take a while))
[20:26] Alathon: ((so.. let's break here))
[20:26] * Sheena durms her fingers on the table hoping she wont be the one to cover this
[20:26] Sakura: (right on)
[20:26] Mani: (Ok. How long?)
[20:26] Alathon: ((15 minute break for food.. sorry for the discontinuity, but if it's gotta be soon then now))
[20:27] Mani: (Run, Ataru, run! :) )
[20:30] Alathon: heh, I log into shadowbane to see whats goin on, maybe catch a mine fight during the break
[20:30] Alathon: and my nation is droppin' banes
[20:31] Mani: Wow. If I had any idea what that meant, I might be ... something.
[20:32] Sheena: How many?
[20:32] Sheena: My brother owned most of a server once.
[20:33] Sheena: once a week they would drop a bane on each town not theres
[20:33] Alathon: ... dupers
[20:33] Sheena: and how
[20:33] Tsukasa: What's a bane?
[20:34] Tsukasa: And what's shadowbane?
[20:34] Sheena: A bane is a locallisted magical circle that attacks a city's tree of life.
[20:34] Sheena: Once times up all the shileds drop and you can move your army in to burn the city, or smash and the tree
[20:34] Sheena: shampoo is a pvp mmog
[20:34] Sheena: Err shadowbane
[20:35] Mani: I make that typo all the time.
[20:35] Sheena: lol
[20:36] Sheena: and on this topic i tried to check my mail in wow
[20:36] Sheena: got a 10min relm que, oy..
[20:36] Alathon: heh, ouch
[20:41] Alathon: hehe.. gonna be great on sunday
[20:41] Alathon: we're gonna burn Zhentil Keep to the ground
[20:41] Rockman_Zero: That's nice. ^-^
[20:41] Sakura: fuck me, bought the wrong chips
[20:41] Sakura: I wanted sweet chile
[20:41] Sakura: I got spicey nacho -_-
[20:42] Rockman_Zero: Sakura: There there, it's nothing to beg rape over. :P
[20:42] Mani: Lentil Keep. :)
[20:42] * Mani smacks Rockman_Zero.
[20:43] Sakura: oh well, they'll have to do
[20:44] * Mani tries to move her mouse and gets attacked by her cat.
[20:45] Alathon: anyways
[20:45] Alathon: lets roll
[20:45] Mani: roll 1d20
[20:46] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{17}
[20:46] Alathon: You fail at life.
[20:46] Alathon: DC 20.
[20:46] * Rockman_Zero takes 20 at life. :P
[20:46] Sheena: lol just got in
[20:46] Mani: How tragic to not survive life...
[20:47] * Sheena closes out warcraft
[20:48] Alathon: Alright
[20:48] Alathon: Usagi: "So.. what do you mean by this 'blood and souls' bit?"
[20:49] Mani: (Is she asking Sakura in particular?)
[20:49] Alathon: She's asking the group.
[20:49] Mani: "That's all that Tsukasa said about Texas ... when she got that from our prisoner."
[20:50] Sheena: "Our missing member dug up some disturbing stuff form a riders mind, That line about blood and souls was one that stood out"
[20:51] Alathon: Usagi: "Tsukasa..."
[20:52] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[20:52] Sheena: "Ya,"
[20:54] Alathon: Usagi: "So..."
[20:54] Alathon: Usagi: "Well, that's something to keep in mind."
[20:54] Sheena: (shes the one that pasued, we suposed to pick up there?)
[20:55] Mani: "I also wonder if maybe there was an outside force that was driving the riders that's behind this also..."
[20:55] * Mani frowns.
[20:55] Alathon: Usagi: "It's possible."
[20:55] Mani: "Venus did chase a teleporting speedster that ended up running to the north pole."
[20:56] Alathon: Usagi: "....."
[20:56] Alathon: Usagi: "Yes, she did."
[20:56] Mani: "Maybe it's just a coincedence, but..."
[20:56] * Mani shrugs slightly.
[20:56] Sheena: (would D point be common knowlage?)
[20:57] Alathon: ((no)
[20:57] Sakura: (Whaaa?)
[20:57] Mani: (I believe Venus did refer to it...)
[20:57] Sakura: (I missed this, speedster, north pole? D point?)
[20:57] Mani: (I don't remember how much she spelled out, though.)
[20:57] Alathon: ((she didn't spell out much
[20:57] Alathon: ((other than that he vanished somwhere far north in canada))
[20:57] Tsukasa: (Speedster guy was running up to the north pole, this game)
[20:57] Alathon: ((or she lost him))
[20:58] Alathon: Usagi: "regardless..."
[20:58] Tsukasa: (Sailor Moon, Dark Kingdom was based up at D Point in the North Pole)
[20:58] Alathon: Usagi: "We have a situation. Not an invasion, precisely, but an influx of likely hostile beings, which we need to put an end to."
[20:59] Sheena: "If each of these towns was used as a summon there's going to be quite a lot of these things out and about"
[21:00] Alathon: Usagi: "Very likely,yes."
[21:00] Alathon: Usagi: "Which raises the question.... where are they?"
[21:00] Alathon: Usagi: "Why haven't we heard of much more than just five villages being affected?"
[21:00] Mani: "With whoever summoned them? Personally, I was wondering why the ones we fought had been left behind."
[21:00] Sakura: "Massing for one giant strike against the capitol?"
[21:01] Sheena: "Or black sands"
[21:01] Mani: "But what I really want to figure out is where they're going to strike--before they do it."
[21:02] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[21:02] Alathon: Usagi massages her forehead.
[21:03] Alathon: Usagi: "There's no obvious patter, at least not to me."
[21:03] Mani: "Do you have any ideas, ma'am? Because, personally, I have no idea."
[21:03] Mani: (Assuming it's one group, would they need to travel unusually fast to hit the towns they have in the order they did?)
[21:04] Sheena: (they can port it seems)
[21:04] Rockman_Zero: (Wasn't D point located in greenland?)
[21:04] Sheena: (huh? no)
[21:05] Alathon: Usagi: "Well.."
[21:06] Alathon: Usagi looks over at Fumiko.
[21:06] Alathon: Usagi: 'Regardless, I'm going to suggest that Fumiko gets a transfer. This is going to turn into a straight combat mission all too quickly."
[21:06] Alathon: Usagi: "And coldhearted though it may sound, it's inappropriate to waste espionage assets on such conflicts."
[21:06] Alathon: Fumiko pauses for a moment.
[21:06] Alathon: Fumiko: "Doesn't sound too cold hearted from where I am.."
[21:07] Alathon: Fumiko: "I'm not bad in a fight, but.. it's not where I'm at my best."
[21:07] * Sheena mouths "espionage asset?" to the group with a qustioning look
[21:07] Sakura: ("don't let the door hit ya on the way out')
[21:07] * Sakura simply shrugs and shakes his head at sheena
[21:08] * Mani gives Sheena a hard look and shakes her head slightly.
[21:10] Alathon: Usagi: "Well.."
[21:10] Alathon: Usagi pauses, and reaches down to her pants.. producing a communicator.
[21:11] Alathon: Usagi examines her communicator, and frowns.
[21:12] Alathon: ((sorry, one sec))
[21:13] Sheena: hmm
[21:13] Alathon: Usagi: "Well."
[21:13] Alathon: Usagi: "Now.. this simplifies things a bit."
[21:14] Alathon: Usagi: "Allright... I've got some bad news, and some good news."
[21:15] Sakura: "Umm... Which do you think we would rather hear first?"
[21:15] Alathon: Usagi: "The bad news is.. another town has been discovered burned. Worse.. three more towns were discovered almost entirely devoid of citizenry."
[21:15] Mani: "Almost?"
[21:15] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[21:15] Mani: "And unburned, I take it?"
[21:15] Alathon: Usagi: "Barring a handful of people in hiding."
[21:16] Alathon: Usagi frowns.
[21:16] Alathon: Usagi: "The towns were un-burned, saved for a few buildings."
[21:16] * Mani frowns.
[21:16] Sheena: "They are moving faster now."
[21:16] Mani: "That is bad."
[21:16] Alathon: Usagi's face twists in disgust.
[21:16] Alathon: Usagi: "They marched the people out... and, well."
[21:16] Alathon: Usagi whips out a map of the Nevadan Protectorate.
[21:16] Alathon: The map already has five bright red dots on it.
[21:16] Alathon: Usagi draws four more bright red dots on it.
[21:17] Rockman_Zero: (Oh geez)
[21:17] Sheena: "Thats a lot of people.."
[21:17] Alathon: Usagi: "Now.. We don't have perfect times ..."
[21:17] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[21:17] Alathon: Usagi: "Yes."
[21:17] Alathon: Usagi: "It is."
[21:17] Alathon: Usagi bites these words off.
[21:17] * Mani looks for any hint of an emerging pattern.
[21:18] Alathon: Taking into account the towns which were discovered empty, you can discern a pattern
[21:18] Alathon: A twelve pointed star
[21:18] Mani: "I think I see a pattern."
[21:18] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[21:18] Tsukasa: (Oh... crud)
[21:18] Alathon: Usagi: "As do I>"
[21:18] Sheena: "thats.. Thats very big"
[21:19] Sheena: "And im guessing it's probly going to do something we dont like"
[21:19] Alathon: Usagi: "It covers more than forty percent of Nevadan territory, in fact."
[21:19] * Mani tries to see if there's any discernable pattern to the order of the towns.
[21:19] Alathon: Usagi cocks her head to one side.
[21:19] Alathon: Usagi: "Almost certainly."
[21:19] Sakura: "..."
[21:19] Alathon: ((If you were drawing a twelve pointed star, with double points on the N/S/E/W corners and single points in between.. it'd look like that))
[21:20] Sheena: (i screw up trying to do a 5, so ill pass)
[21:20] Alathon: ((I'll draw one sometime, it's not that hard))
[21:20] Sakura: (what would be an appropriate replacement for "JEEEZUS" given the setting?)
[21:21] Tsukasa: ("Serenity!")
[21:21] Tsukasa: (Or actually... "Small Lady!"
[21:21] Mani: (Like this: (Link: http://www.interfarfacing.com/star250.jpg)http://www.interfarfacing.com/star250.jpg ?)
[21:21] Alathon: ((lady's teats))
[21:21] Alathon: ((actually.. no))
[21:21] Sakura: (12 pointed? not 5?)
[21:22] Alathon: ((though that looks cool))
[21:22] Tsukasa: (... We swear by our queen's cleavage?)
[21:22] Alathon: ((well))
[21:23] Alathon: ((they do in the D&D books..))
[21:23] Sakura: (they do? O_O)
[21:23] Alathon: ((but that isn't exactly Quality Literature))
[21:23] Sheena: (Shenna will swear by her own, kthx)
[21:23] Sakura: (hahaha)
[21:23] Alathon: ((a few of em.. ))
[21:24] Sakura: (so, it's an appropriate curse? :P)
[21:24] Alathon: Usagi: "Now... if we plot out the remaining three points.."
[21:24] Alathon: Usagi breaks out a magic marker, and puts three dots on the map. One is int he middle of nowhere, the second is very near a small town.
[21:24] Alathon: And the third is on Carson.
[21:24] Mani: (Is it really magic? :) )
[21:25] Alathon: ((It's magic enough that if you get it on your clothes, it wont' come out in the washing machine))
[21:25] Sakura: "Well shit."
[21:25] Sheena: (behold the power of sharpy)
[21:25] Alathon: Usagi: "Yeah, pretty much."
[21:26] Alathon: Usagi: "I've already forwarded this to Venus.. and she'll pass it on to the NEvadans."
[21:26] Alathon: Usagi: "I have no doubt they'll muster whatever they can to defend Carson.. but these other two spots.."
[21:26] Sheena: "This isnt some firebug gone nuts, or some nut playing with demons, This looks like all out war"
[21:26] * Mani ponders.
[21:26] Alathon: Usagi looks over at Sheena.
[21:26] Alathon: Usagi: "I wouldn't go so far as that.. but yeah, this is calculated."
[21:27] Mani: "If you don't mind me asking, if you didn't get this information from Venus or the Nevadans, where did you get it from?"
[21:27] Alathon: Usagi looks over at Mani.
[21:28] Alathon: Usagi: "I'm not a liberty to discuss that."
[21:28] Alathon: (9at))
[21:28] Mani: (What?)
[21:28] Sheena: (the green haied one)
[21:28] Sakura: (huh?)
[21:28] Alathon: Usagi: "I trust my sources."
[21:29] * Mani nods.
[21:29] Sheena: "We trust you, but you dont trust us? Well your are comand.."
[21:29] Alathon: Usagi rolls her eyes.
[21:29] Mani: (You're saying *that* to our princess???)
[21:29] Alathon: Usagi: "You know what, Sheena?"
[21:29] * Sakura looks shocked at what Sheena said
[21:30] Alathon: Usagi: "If it was your ass working under cover, I will *guarantee* that you wouldn't want your superiors discussing your identity."
[21:30] * Mani stares at Sheena.
[21:30] * Sakura actually, looks like he's about to have a heart attack
[21:30] Sheena: "True.."
[21:30] Alathon: Usagi: "Fucking A it's true."
[21:30] Sheena: "Right.. Don't bring that up again"
[21:31] Alathon: Usagi pauses.
[21:31] Sheena: *i wont
[21:31] Alathon: Usagi: "I'm sorry if this isn't immediately obvious on the operations side... "
[21:31] Alathon: Usagi: "But everything.. Everything, on the espionage side, depends on confidentiality."
[21:32] Sheena: "It just seems that with our group.. every body knows every thing about us."
[21:32] Alathon: Usagi: "And we go to great lengths to filter information which makes its way to us, to avoid identifying our sources."
[21:32] Sheena: "Even foxgirl got into our files"
[21:32] Alathon: Usagi shrugs.
[21:32] Alathon: Usagi laughs.
[21:32] Mani: (Foxgirl: "I'm right here, you know.")
[21:32] Alathon: Usagi: "Your public flies. Name, height, weight, age, eye color, hair color, and occupation."
[21:33] Alathon: Usagi: "and..."
[21:33] Sakura: "abilities?"
[21:33] Alathon: Usagi: "Well, honestly.. you've made a name for yourselves. You're no secret, everyone within a ten mile radius of Northup or erickson has heard about you."
[21:34] Sheena: "It"its""""
[21:34] Alathon: ((uh, what?))
[21:34] Sheena: mirc is fucking up
[21:34] *** Sheena has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[21:35] *** DCG has joined #crystaltokyo.
[21:35] *** DCG is now known as Sheena.
[21:35] Sheena: (sorry about that)
[21:35] Alathon: ((np))
[21:36] Alathon: Usagi: "Anyways..."
[21:36] Alathon: Usagi: "Here's my suggested course of action."
[21:36] Sheena: "We get that at home as well, all tho Sanshi is good at keeping the curious away from the house"
[21:36] Sheena: (woops late)
[21:36] Alathon: ((will assume it came first))
[21:37] Alathon: Usagi: "There are three points."
[21:37] Alathon: Usagi: "Carson City will be covered, for sure."
[21:37] Alathon: Usagi: "The next point we don't know about, isn't that far from Reno.
[21:38] Alathon: Usagi: "But there's one point, off a ways east of here, that's well beyond where the Nevadans are likely to reach any time soon."
[21:38] Alathon: Usagi: "I'm inclined to think we should cover that point ourselves."
[21:39] Alathon: Usagi: "If someone doesn't.. well."
[21:39] Mani: "If we could get Yuuno a teleport point in the other and give someone there a way to contact us instantly, we may be able to help if it's attacked first."
[21:39] Sheena: "We may end up out numbered.. But there isn't going to be any one else around."
[21:39] Sheena: "I won't have to hold back"
[21:40] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[21:40] Alathon: Usagi: "Don't."
[21:40] Alathon: Usagi: "... hold back, that is."
[21:41] Sakura: "It's been a while since we've been in a major battle... Better hope you're not rusty Sheena."
[21:41] * Sheena eyes get a bit cold at this
[21:41] Alathon: Usagi looks over to Mani.
[21:42] Sheena: "Ya no worries, i won't leave em alive long enought to hurt us this time"
[21:42] Alathon: Usagi: "That idea has merit.. anything we can do to increase our ability to project power to the points in question is worth it."
[21:43] Mani: "I wonder how many people they need to sacrifice... Are they taking some of the people from those other towns they hit to the out of the way spot?"
[21:43] Alathon: Usagi ponders this question.
[21:44] Alathon: Usagi: "I don't know.. it may not be a science, really.. it may just be, "many", is enough."
[21:44] Alathon: Usagi: "On the other hand.. there could be a rhyme to their reason."
[21:44] * Mani nods.
[21:44] Alathon: Usagi: "If only we knew."
[21:45] Alathon: Usagi: 'I don't think this continent is big on censuses."
[21:45] Mani: "I'm just wondering if we could find them en route if they're transporting a large number of prisoners."
[21:45] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[21:45] Alathon: Usagi: "That would be ideal.. an opportunity to prevent the murders, and catch the murderers."
[21:45] Sakura: (weeellll, we could always murder everyone before they get the chance...)
[21:46] Sakura: "Assuming there is a route.... What if they're capable of teleportation?"
[21:46] Alathon: Usagi just... looks at Sakura.
[21:46] Alathon: Usagi sighs.
[21:46] Sheena: "I can fly out for a bit, but it will drain me fast. And with dark heart i can see about a mile."
[21:46] Sheena: "For now"
[21:47] Alathon: Usagi: "Thank you for pointing out the obvious, that I totally didn'tw ant to think about."
[21:47] Alathon: Usagi massages her forehead.
[21:47] Sakura: (hey, that coming from someone who was pointing out the obvious earlier)
[21:47] Alathon: Usagi: "The only strategy guaranteed to work, is camping the points."
[21:47] Alathon: ((hypocracy is the province of rulers))
[21:47] Mani: "Right."
[21:48] Mani: (to Sakura) "That doesn't mean we should rule out other possibilities, if we can explore them without weakening our position, though."
[21:49] Alathon: Usagi: "Hmm...""
[21:49] Alathon: Usagi: "How about this.. I'll take Yuuno north from Northup to the target point, and establish a teleport point at some distance."
[21:50] Alathon: Usagi: "Continue to Reno, alert the Crimsons there to our concerns, and return."
[21:51] Sheena: "Alone?"
[21:52] Alathon: Usagi: "Well.. I can do close to two hundred kilometres per hour on my hoverboard."
[21:52] Sheena: (are we going to be watching a point wile this is going on?)
[21:52] Alathon: Usagi: "And it carries one."
[21:52] Alathon: Usagi: "If you all start east, I can catch up."
[21:52] Sheena: "... I feel so cheated. Now i need a faster bike."
[21:53] Mani: "If you do want someone to accompany you, I probably could..."
[21:53] Alathon: Usagi: "In cat form?"
[21:53] * Mani nods.
[21:53] Alathon: Usagi: "I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea."
[21:54] Alathon: Usagi: "Just don't be surprised if your fur gets ruffled."
[21:54] Sheena: (poor sheena can only do 10 unpowered for now,)
[21:55] Alathon: Usagi: "Well.. any last thoughts?"
[21:55] Alathon: Usagi: "I'm inclined to roll out Now."
[21:55] Alathon: Usagi: "Yuuno.. you're good for one more teleport back here, right?"
[21:56] Sheena: (we got a lot of daylight to burn still right?)
[21:56] Alathon: ((yeah))
[21:56] Alathon: ((it's not even noon))
[21:56] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yeah.."
[21:56] Alathon: Yuuno: "A couple, if I've gotta."
[21:56] Alathon: Usagi: "Well then, let's roll."
[21:56] * Sheena removes the furry one from her top
[21:57] Alathon: Usagi produces, out of nowhere, a dark purple hoverboard.
[21:57] Alathon: ((A hoverboard is like a surfboard, pretty much, except no keel))
[21:57] Sheena: "Cheer up, im sure it will be a fun ride. As you hang on for dear life"
[21:57] Alathon: Yuuno looks back at Sheena's assets longingly.
[21:57] Alathon: Usagi smirks a little.
[21:57] Mani: "And I can keep you company."
[21:57] Alathon: Usagi: "Sorry, but there's no way I can.. host you.. that way."
[21:57] * Mani gives him a feral grin.
[21:58] Alathon: Yuuno looks scared... very scared.
[21:58] Sheena: "Me and the pink ninja will head out as well then"
[21:58] Alathon: Usagi looks over at Fumiko.
[21:58] Sheena: (or do we wait?)
[21:58] Alathon: Usagi: " Fumiko, remain here. You should have your orders within 24 hours."
[21:58] Alathon: Fumiko nods.
[21:58] Alathon: Fumiko: "Understood.
[21:58] Sheena: (usagi; Go make some side money in the brothel)
[21:59] Alathon: ((hmm.. friggin major windstorm outside))
[21:59] * Mani says to Sheena, "Could you make arrangements for my bike with Marlon, please."
[21:59] Alathon: ((If I vanish, that's why))
[21:59] Sakura: (hey, I'm sure it's a valid place for intel collection)
[21:59] Mani: (Among other things.)
[21:59] Alathon: ((yeah, and VD collection))
[21:59] Sheena: "Hey no problem, You should know you don't even have to ask by now"
[21:59] Mani: (And vermin.)
[22:00] Alathon: ((just the way guys like it))
[22:00] Sakura: (Vermin? so... a buffet for Mani?)
[22:00] Mani: (Remind me to use my sword next time I poke Sakura.)
[22:00] Alathon: Usagi, Mani, and Yuuno will vanish into a teleport.
[22:01] * Sheena heads off to Talk to Marlon, bring him up to speed, and have there gear watched over
[22:01] * Sakura walks over with Sakura
[22:01] Sheena: (neat trick!)
[22:01] Mani: (Beside yourself with joy?)
[22:02] Sakura: (err fuck, sheena)
[22:02] Mani: (No, thank you.)
[22:02] Sheena: "Your way more quite then your normaly silent self there Sakura, Working with the pri-- usagi that wierd?"
[22:02] Sakura: (there's a comma there)
[22:02] Alathon: (yeah, that's Tsukasa's job))
[22:02] Mani: (Smack her for what she said to the princess! :D )

Session 19 - part 2
[22:02] Mani: (Smack her for what she said to the princess! :D )
[22:03] Sakura: (wait, so... I'm more quiet then my usually silent self?)
[22:03] Sheena: (foth and mouth problem, pops up now and then)
[22:03] Sakura: (what'd I say to the princess?)
[22:03] Sheena: (not talking much at all)
[22:03] Sheena: (not much at all)
[22:03] Mani: (Not you. Sheena.)
[22:04] Tsukasa: (Unless you're a she now and didn't tell us)
[22:04] Tsukasa: (Though, we may not have noticed)
[22:04] Sakura: "This coming from someone who questioned her right to keep her informants secret?"
[22:04] Sakura: (I missread :P)
[22:04] * Sheena shurges
[22:05] Sheena: "I really dont know why that came out, i was thinking it shouldn't have been saying it"
[22:05] Sakura: "Internal monologue issues? Happens to everyone I suppose. Of course, it's usually at the worst possible time."
[22:06] Sakura: (Sheena should change her name to Elgala)
[22:07] Sheena: (who?"
[22:07] Sheena: "Any way lets finsh up here and hit the road, my poor chopper can pull 200kph.."
[22:07] Sheena: *cna't
[22:08] Tsukasa: (<Alathon> (yeah, that's Tsukasa's job)) Which is my job?)
[22:08] Tsukasa: (The fucking of Sheena?)
[22:08] Sakura: (Elgala is from excel saga... she's one of the across girls and has no internal monologue, speaking whatever is on her mind (though she doesn't realize it))
[22:09] Sakura: "
[22:09] Sakura: "Anyway... Yeah, working with the pr... Usagi is a little uncomfortable
[22:09] Alathon: ((heh.. as far as sheena is concerned, tsu, yes ;p ))
[22:09] Alathon: ((your mileage may vary))
[22:09] Sheena: (huh what?)
[22:09] Alathon: ((sorry, delayed reaction))
[22:10] Sakura: "You've seen me sans bandanna... I'm sure you're capable of making a connection there, most of the kids I went to school with certainly did."
[22:10] Alathon: (9was in a channel with pw))
[22:10] Alathon: (9and pms with mani))
[22:11] Sheena: "Personly, i don't care. But at lest you don't react as bad as youused to"
[22:12] Sheena: (do we keep chitchat or move on?)
[22:13] Alathon: keep chitchatting
[22:13] Alathon: while you're riding, breaking, etc
[22:13] Alathon: since stuff is happening to Mani atm
[22:14] Sakura: "So, looking forward to the fight?"
[22:14] * Sheena lets Malon know whats going on and takes care of mani's bike before heading off on there own.
[22:15] Sheena: "All ways, having this much engery sitting around inside is disturbing some times"
[22:16] Sakura: "Yeah... There's really nothing like the feel of knowing you might be dead before tomorrow. It's scary... and kind of exciting."
[22:17] Sheena: "Dead? I never think like that. THen again Dark Heart is rather focused on blowing things up in new and interesting ways, It sorta rubs off on me"
[22:21] Sakura: "Oh that reminds me... One thing I want to ask of you Sheena; when you're blowing things up, please try to keep in mind our distance in relation to those things. The last thing I want is my family getting a letter that reads "Sakura died tragically in a friendly fire incident.""
[22:21] * Sakura sticks his tongue out at sheena to show he's only teasing
[22:25] Sheena: "Heh.. You may be joking oh pink one, but that is a major problem thats all ways on mine mind."
[22:25] * Sheena unzips her shirt half way showing a bra holster, She removes one of the shells with a warning painted on it
[22:26] Sakura: (it doesn't say "dear john"?)
[22:26] Sheena: "One of these will let me take out half a block, two and its much much bigger."
[22:26] Sheena: (hazard sign)
[22:27] * Sheena puts it back and zips up
[22:27] Sakura: (... I wonder if people still shout freebird at concerts in CT)
[22:28] Sheena: (freebird pwned me on GTH)
[22:28] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[22:28] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{6}
[22:29] Sakura: (uhoh, looks like Mani slipped off the board)
[22:31] Sheena: (do cats land on there feet at 200kph?)
[22:31] Mani: (Yes. Several times.)
[22:32] Alathon: ((it's like skipping a stone, except funnier to watch))
[22:35] Sheena: (they probly got yuuno killed)
[22:37] Alathon: Around this time, well into the afternoon, Usagi will zoom up next to you two, with Mani on a shoulder in cat form.
[22:38] Sakura: (do we see Yuuno?)
[22:38] Sheena: (what do they look like?)
[22:38] Sheena: "You rode back, what happened to the ferret this time?"
[22:39] Alathon: Yuuno isn't immediately visible, but he could be hiding somewhere in Usagi's clothes.
[22:39] Alathon: Usagi: "There are only two points left."
[22:40] Mani: (Or inside Mani. :) )
[22:40] Alathon: Usagi says this with a dark expression on her face.
[22:40] Alathon: Usagi: "So lets make the best time we can."
[22:41] Sheena: "Well shit"
[22:41] Sakura: "Hey, that's my line."
[22:42] Sakura: "Ready to ride Sheena?"
[22:42] Sheena: "ya, but where is yuuno?"
[22:43] Alathon: Yuuno peeks out of Usagi's backpack.
[22:43] Alathon: Yuuno: "Heeeeeeer!"
[22:44] Alathon: Yuuno dives back in, clearly not at ease with the speed he's traveling at.
[22:45] Sheena: "rightyO, We get ready for a fight at the last free point out side carson then?"
[22:46] * Mani glances at Sheena and says, "Oh, yes."
[22:46] Sheena: "Mani you ok? Look a bit mussed up"
[22:47] Mani: "No."
[22:51] Alathon: Even making the best time you can, it'll be dark soon.
[22:51] Alathon: With your goal nowher in sight.
[22:51] Alathon: After about an hour of night driving, with acouple minor mishaps, Usagi will suggest a rest.
[22:51] Mani: (Are we staying together or is each group going at its top speed?)
[22:51] Sakura: (hooray for night vision)
[22:51] Alathon: ((staying together))
[22:51] Sheena: "Ahh yes, lets take on the forces of hell at night"
[22:52] * Sheena fiddles with her com and sets it to record.
[22:52] Sheena: "should write a book when we get back"
[22:52] Mani: "Sheena... if you could hold off on levity for a while, I'd appreciate it."
[22:53] Sheena: "I was never one for being down when going into a fight mani, but ya i will if you want"
[22:53] Sakura: "Something happen?"
[22:54] Mani: "Let's just say we didn't arrive too long after it happened."
[22:54] Alathon: Usagi doesn't seem terribly talkative this evening.
[22:54] Sheena: (we are headed to the spot in the middle of no where right?)
[22:54] Sakura: "oh."
[22:55] Alathon: She produces several wrapped bars, scarfs them, and just sorta stares at the sky.
[22:55] Alathon: ((yes))
[22:55] Sheena: (dont look like we dont got time for a fight, shame)
[22:55] Alathon: ((actually
[22:55] Alathon: ((I was gonna ask that
[22:55] Alathon: ((if people are cool with staying up for a fight))
[22:55] Tsukasa: (I'm good for it)
[22:55] Alathon: ((if not, that's cool, week after next))
[22:56] Tsukasa: (*doesn't want to delay Tsukasa's return for a moment more than necessary)
[22:56] Sakura: (I'm up for it, I guess)
[22:56] Sheena: (yarrow does have people over)
[22:56] Sheena: (unelss she killed them and fed her kitty with thier remains by now)
[22:57] * Mani lies in cat form near the princess, conveniently positioned in case petting her would soothe Usagi.
[22:57] Mani: (They left a long time ago.)
[22:57] Alathon: It does.
[22:58] Mani: (Mm, how long do you think a fight would take? I'm not good for two more hours.)
[22:59] Alathon: ((let's call it an hour and change))
[22:59] Alathon: ((not a boss fight))
[23:00] Mani: (I think I'd rather put it off.)
[23:00] Alathon: ((okay, we'll go up to then.))
[23:00] Alathon: Usagi will wake everyone up before dawn the next day.
[23:01] Alathon: Usagi: "Let's get something to eat, and go."
[23:01] * Sheena checks her ammo, snakes on some food bars and water, and make sure she has packs in her uniform.
[23:03] Alathon: Usagi doesn't seem terribly concerned with the time, or the pre-dawn twilight.
[23:03] Sakura: (mmmm mutacow jerkey)
[23:04] Mani: (You wish. :) )
[23:05] * Mani rides with Usagi again, as her bike is still in Erickson.
[23:05] Mani: (Unless, of course, Usagi asks her to ride with someone else.)
[23:05] Alathon: Usagi will gladly accept Mani as company.
[23:05] Alathon: The party zooms off into the brightening eastern sky.
[23:06] Alathon: As the party heads east, the sky lights up with what looks almost like crimson flame, as the sun reaches over the Rocky Mountains.
[23:07] * Sheena peeks over her shades a bit
[23:07] Sheena: "This land does have impressive sunrises and sets"
[23:09] Tsukasa: (No, it IS crimson flame)
[23:09] Alathon: As the party continues east, something blurs the sunrise in the distance.
[23:12] Sakura: (what can we make out? is it like a heat blur?)
[23:12] Alathon: As you approach... it looks more like a smoke blur.
[23:12] Sheena: (you gys should talk more)
[23:12] Sheena: " To late again?"
[23:13] Mani: (Mani is not in a talkative mood.)
[23:13] Alathon: Usagi: "We'd better not be."
[23:13] Sheena: (damn slow bikes only do 90mpg)
[23:13] Mani: (mph?)
[23:13] Sheena: (ya)
[23:13] Mani: (And I'd be very impressed if we could go that fast on those roads.)
[23:13] Sheena: (thats true as well)
[23:13] Mani: (And terrified. :) )
[23:14] Sheena: (do i need a drive check to pull off a wide area search?
[23:14] Mani: (Does Sheena close her eyes to do that?)
[23:14] Sheena: (yes i belive so,)
[23:15] Sheena: (bad idea)
[23:15] Mani: (Then she needs a deathwish.)
[23:15] Sakura: (hmm... should I activate my invisibility now or not...)
[23:15] Mani: (While on your bike?)
[23:15] Alathon: You can't really do that while driving a bike, that you don't have Drive skill for
[23:15] Alathon: buy some drive skill and you can actually do that ;p
[23:16] Sheena: (with what cp...)
[23:16] Alathon: ((uh, none?))
[23:16] Alathon: ((you get to choose what you're good at .. and driving isn't one of those things ;p ))
[23:16] Sheena: (this is true, she a magical girl not a raec care driver)
[23:17] Sakura: (yeah... on the bike)
[23:17] Sheena: (hakura was of corse a cheeter and skimped on her sheet to take raceing)
[23:17] Mani: (Though some notable people can be both. :) )
[23:17] Sakura: (I'm just worried we'll get there and be shoved right into combat, and I'll have to use an action)
[23:19] Mani: (Better than arriving there on the 5th bounce. :) )
[23:20] Alathon: As you approach, you hear loud cracks.
[23:20] Alathon: As you get closer, they're clearly discernable as gunfire.
[23:20] Sheena: (where are we going any way?)
[23:20] Sakura: (Hey, I don't need to close my eyes to go invisible :p)
[23:20] Sheena: ( didnt we head to the empty point?)
[23:20] Alathon: Yes
[23:20] Mani: (Must be something along the way.)
[23:21] Alathon: ((As it happens, it's a point you thought was empty.))
[23:21] Alathon: As you get closer, the plume of smoke is clear, as are the flames on the horizon.))
[23:21] Mani: (Damn Mapquest...)
[23:21] Alathon: They're not loud enough to drown out the gunshots.
[23:21] Sakura: "Shit."
[23:22] Sheena: "Come on you pice of junk, move it!"
[23:22] Alathon: Usagi: "Dammit, MOVE!'
[23:23] Alathon: Usagi revs her board forward.. then slows down when she almost eats an Apple tree.
[23:23] Sheena: (DAMN YOU JHONNY APPLE!)
[23:23] Sakura: (lol)
[23:24] Mani: ("Her appetite is so big, I saw her almost eat an entire apple tree once!")
[23:24] Alathon: Usagi tries to pick up the pace, but seems to be inexplicably impeded by trees, cactii, and other irritations.
[23:24] Rockman_Zero: ((Usagi, Chiba Usagi, she's the greatest girl in history. From the, town of Tokyo, she's about to hit an apple tree. :P))
[23:25] Alathon: As you get even closer, it's clear that some sort of hamlet is burning.. or at least, it sure looks like it.
[23:25] Mani: (Simpsons did it first. :p )
[23:25] Rockman_Zero: (So? :P)
[23:27] Sheena: (great, i dot need that stuck in my head going into a fight)
[23:27] Sheena: (*puts on doom colection*)
[23:28] Alathon: The racket is quite loud now, as you approach.
[23:28] Alathon: There are Three figures.. maybe four, there's one lump on the ground nearby.
[23:28] Alathon: Four loud gunshots ring out, and one of the outlines drops tot he ground.
[23:29] Sheena: "What the hell?"
[23:29] Alathon: As you approach, it becomes clear that another one of the three is fighting one of the others.. a brilliant sword is visible even in the distance as it is swung, cleaving through the other standing person.
[23:30] Alathon: When you get there, you'll see four people.
[23:30] Alathon: On the ground are three of them.
[23:30] Alathon: The only conscious (living?) one is a young human woman, wearing cut off jeans, white tank top, sandals, and wielding the brilliant sword.
[23:31] Rockman_Zero: (Ooh! I like her already. :P)
[23:31] Sheena: (so much for demons)
[23:31] Alathon: There's another person (woman?) on the ground, wearing various leather clothes... off to the side are two more on the ground.
[23:31] Alathon: One is obviously nonhuman, with dark, ridged skin, tinged greenish yellow, wearing some sort of leather armor.
[23:31] Alathon: The other is, unmistakeably, Tsukasa.
[23:32] Alathon: End here.
[23:32] Sheena: With a sword?
[23:32] Sakura: oh you fucker
[23:32] Sheena: lol
[23:32] Mani: Or lying on the ground?
[23:32] Alathon: Tsukasa is the one on the ground
[23:32] Alathon: one of the three.
[23:32] Sheena: oh dear
[23:32] Tsukasa: Thankfully, I'm the LIVE one on the ground.
[23:32] Sheena: Sheena about to nuke a bitch
[23:32] Mani: Prone or standing on the ground?
[23:33] Alathon: ...
[23:33] Alathon: bleeding her life out on the ground
[23:33] Sheena: again?
[23:33] Mani: What, again?
[23:33] Tsukasa: Please don't nuke a bitch, Sheena, she just saved my ass.
[23:33] Tsukasa: I was the one you saw go down BEFORE she slashed one in half.
[23:33] Sheena: What happened to your kosmos guns? heh
[23:34] Alathon: Her clothing is much, much different than it u sed to be... she appears to be wearing a mix of dark gold, and purple, silks.
[23:34] Tsukasa: (Link: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1544 ... himcn2.jpg)http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1544/318shingetsutantsukihimcn2.jpg
[23:34] Alathon: There's a huge friggin multi-barrel gun on the ground, just out of reach of Tsukasa's hands.
[23:34] Sakura: good thing mani isn't driving
[23:34] Sakura: she'd probably run her over
[23:34] Rockman_Zero: (Damnit! Why is it that all of PW's characters are so darn attractive? ><;)
[23:35] Sheena: (lol0
[23:35] Sheena: so much for the demons
[23:35] Sheena: so just what did mani run into last time?
[23:35] Tsukasa: Actually, those ones weren't demons as such ;)
[23:35] Tsukasa: Pity, too, because if they WERE they'd have gone down much easier.
[23:36] Tsukasa: Oh, and don't forget the cherry blossom petals lying around, spears of rock jutting up from the ground...
[23:36] Rockman_Zero: (I'm tempted to ask something, but I'll leave it to after this session is wrapped up properly, and Al is fully rested and stuff.)
[23:36] Alathon: yeah, yeah
[23:37] Alathon: there are, in fact, cherry blossoms all over the place
[23:37] Alathon: and a couple large chunks of rock jutting out fromt he ground, near Tsukasa's body.\
[23:37] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[23:37] *** Tsukasa is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[23:37] Alathon: And yeah, we're done
[23:37] Sakura: night guys
[23:37] Yarrow: Night.
[23:37] *** Sakura is now known as Ataru.
[23:37] Alathon: just had a little description to get outta the way
[23:37] Alathon: gnight
[23:37] Rockman_Zero: Okay.
[23:37] Ataru: xp?
[23:37] Alathon: Thanks for staying up
[23:38] Rockman_Zero: it's like 4:38pm here. ;P
[23:38] Yarrow: He wasn't thanking you. :p
[23:38] Sheena: I asume she came to a bouncing stop in the middle of the demons
[23:38] Alathon: 1500 for everyone
[23:38] Rockman_Zero: Yarrow: Who said I wanted his thans. >:P
[23:38] * Ataru really shoulda become invis
[23:38] Alathon: Except Tsukasa, who gets 1800
[23:38] * Yarrow shrugs.
[23:38] Alathon: Since she had a slightly different session ;p
[23:38] Yarrow: Who said you should be an annoying git?
[23:39] Rockman_Zero: Who said I shouldn't?
[23:39] Rockman_Zero: ;P
[23:39] Sheena: me?
[23:39] Alathon: yeeesh, chill
[23:39] Ataru: hhnn 52k xp
[23:39] * Rockman_Zero has his AC on, he's chillin' :)
[23:39] Alathon: 300 exp for getting her ass kicked ;p
[23:40] Alathon: given that she's like 2 sessions behind in exp, I doubt this matters ;p
[23:40] Rockman_Zero: Hmm... If DCG gave XP for getting our asses kicked in his game, I'd be laughing. :P
[23:40] Alathon: actually
[23:40] Alathon: hm
[23:40] Alathon: 2000, and 2300
