Session 69 - part 2

[17:01] <Sheena> (that fiels didnt effect her eyes did it?_)
[17:01] <Alathon> (it did while you were in it)
[17:02] <Sheena> (well thats rather crapy)
[17:03] <Alathon> Anyways
[17:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You wanna try to put something like that together in the lab when we have some time?"
[17:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Or maybe design it, and see if you can get Vanyel to do it for you?"
[17:05] <Sheena> "Worth a shot"
[17:05] <Mani> ("By my calculations, he can take on two more projects on top of what he's doing now before snapping and going on a killing spree.")
[17:06] <Mani> (Vanyel: "Fools! I will destroy you all!" Yuuno: "... give or take a project.")
[17:06] <Alathon> Alright
[17:06] * Reis frowns. "When we've got some free time, I need to see about working on something for the marines, as well. ... A lot of projects we need to do."
[17:06] <Alathon> anything else this evening, or more on to the next morning?
[17:07] <Reis> (Next morning, I believe)
[17:07] <Mani> (Next.)
[17:08] <Kuonji> (did yuuno turn back?)
[17:09] <Alathon> Did anyone bug her to?
[17:09] <Alathon> She'd have to sleep on the couch, given the size of the suite, so you'd know if she did.
[17:10] <Mani> (Well, if it's that obvious that she hasn't, Mani would bring it up.)
[17:10] * Sheena pulls and air bed deal
[17:11] <Alathon> She won't unless pointedly reminded to do so.
[17:11] * Mani reminds her.
[17:11] <Alathon> Yuuno is irritated, but does so.
[17:11] <Sheena> ( a smack on the ass probly dont clue her in)
[17:12] <Mani> (That isn't a regular occurance when she shares a room with Sheena?)
[17:12] <Sheena> (hah)
[17:13] <Sheena> (how does mani know? yuuno could be the domtype)
[17:13] <Sheena> (full ep?)
[17:14] <Reis> (Should be, we get a full night's sleep, right?)
[17:14] <Alathon> Yes
[17:15] <Alathon> Anyways.. morning will come
[17:15] <Alathon> Someone thoughtfully arranged for wake-up calls.
[17:15] <Alathon> and for room service.
[17:15] <Reis> (Yay!)
[17:15] * Reis will check on Yuuno once she's up, to see how he is.
[17:16] * Mani inquires about his health, too.
[17:17] <Alathon> He's a ferret, and wakes up grouchy.. he pretends to try to nip your hand.
[17:17] <Alathon> She quickly scurries into the bathroom.. water runs.. there's a thud.
[17:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Oof!"
[17:18] * Sheena is still waking up drinking her morning ctlight
[17:18] * Reis blinks and rushes over. "Are you all right, Yuuno-sensei?"
[17:18] <RZ_[AFK]> (Reis: "Aww... isn't he so sweet... I bet he's even sweeter with a nice caramel sauce after 30 minutes in the oven." ;P)
[17:18] <Sheena> "Merg, oof?"
[17:19] <Alathon> Yuuno made the unfortunate mistake of changing in the sink, and now has her butt wedged in the sink.
[17:19] * Mani strolls in.
[17:19] <Alathon> She blushes on seeing you come in, seeing as she's buck-naked.
[17:19] <Kuonji> (lol)
[17:19] <Mani> "So, this is what you do when the rest of us are all out of the house?"
[17:19] * Reis blinks, giggles slightly, and offers her hand to help Yuuno yank herself out.
[17:19] <Alathon> She wavers fo ra moment, then accepts the help.
[17:20] <Alathon> Yuuno: "This was a really lousy idea, you know that, right?"
[17:20] <Mani> "Hang on, there's an easier way to take care of this."
[17:20] <Alathon> It'll take some work, but you can tug her out of the sink.
[17:20] * Mani turns on the hot water, removes Yuuno to the shower, and applies cold water.
[17:20] <Alathon> ..
[17:20] <Alathon> little late for that
[17:21] * Reis tugs, smiling slightly. "I guess I can understand why you wanted to change back, though..."
[17:21] <Alathon> There's really no way to reach the tap when Yuuno and Reis are both right in front of it.. and once Yuuno's out of the way, she's not going near it.
[17:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "being a ferret sucks."
[17:22] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Are one of you two going to shower, or shall I?"
[17:22] <Mani> "You can. You're already wet."
[17:22] * Mani exits the bathroom.
[17:22] * Reis shakes her head. "Go ahead, Yuuno-sensei." She heads out.
[17:23] <Alathon> She'll procede to take her lukewarm shower.
[17:23] <Alathon> I'll assume you all shower (or not) as your morning routine dictates.
[17:23] <Reis> (Indeed we do)
[17:24] <Alathon> Alright
[17:24] <Alathon> So.. you all gonna leave for the Bar, or do you have stuff to do first?
[17:24] <Alathon> And, if you're leaving, where are you porting from?
[17:25] * Mani has nothing to do first.
[17:25] <Kuonji> (I'm assuming I came back in one piece, right?)
[17:25] <Reis> (Nothing to do ahead of time, nope)
[17:25] <Alathon> (yes)
[17:25] <Sheena> (the exit point in the building?)
[17:25] <Alathon> (so I guess that ruins some of the anticipation fo ryour chat.. no, you weren't executed out of hand)
[17:25] <Reis> (Any open area would do - heck, straight from the room could work :P )
[17:26] <Alathon> (so don't try to provoke a fight and make me retcon stuff pls ;p )
[17:26] <Alathon> It's your call Reis
[17:26] <Alathon> Or Sheena, or Mani
[17:26] <Mani> (In that case, the princess killed him and took his place.)
[17:26] <Kuonji> (but it's so tempting now!)
[17:26] <Alathon> Either way, a decision needs to be made.. and the ball is in your court
[17:26] <Reis> ("By the way - regarding that stuff last session, Kuonji was dead.")
[17:26] <Mani> "Shall we go from the teleport pad?"
[17:27] <Alathon> Is it really tempting to have your mind erased, your gender changed, and get stuck in a tube as a clone for Usagi's soul to inhabit if she ever gets offed?
[17:27] * Reis nods. "That'd work, though we should hurry so we're done before anyone else needs to use it."
[17:27] <Mani> (Do we come back where we left from?)
[17:27] <Reis> (If I remember correctly we do)
[17:27] <Alathon> No, you have inter-dim coordinates for the telepad
[17:28] * Mani nods.
[17:28] <Alathon> wait
[17:28] <Alathon> sigh
[17:28] <Alathon> now I don't remember
[17:28] <Mani> (You said you couldn't pick a spot in the target dimension, so I figured you'd return where you left from.)
[17:28] <Mani> (Unless you want us to arrive at a random spot?)
[17:28] <Alathon> I don't think I ever gave a good answer, but last time, you left at the teleport pad, and came back there
[17:28] <Alathon> so at the very least, the ingame expectation is 'where you left'
[17:29] <Alathon> I seem to recall having some misgivings about people using dim-hop as a cheap teleport if they could choose the spot
[17:29] <Mani> "If we're going to be returning to the spot we left, we should leave from there."
[17:29] <Reis> (Indeed)
[17:29] * Reis nods. "I just mean we should finish with it before anyone else comes and needs to use it."
[17:30] <Mani> "Let's go, then."
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno is ready to roll, and moves to follow you.
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno then stops at the door.
[17:30] <Mani> "I thought you weren't coming, Yuuno."
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Oh, right.. you're going there."
[17:30] <Alathon> She looks over at Mani, and nods.. a little trepidation on her face.
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It's probably best that way."
[17:31] <Mani> "Either way. It's going to be a short trip, so you won't be missing much, anyway."
[17:31] <Alathon> Yuuno: "yeah.."
[17:31] <Alathon> She walks back over to a couch, and sits down quickly, half flopping into it.
[17:31] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "Yeah... we should just be a little while as-is. ... Sorry to be leaving you behind."
[17:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "that's okay.. I'm kinda leaving myself behind after all."
[17:33] <Sheena> "We're not suposed to fight in the place, shouldnt take us long at all"
[17:34] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[17:36] <Alathon> Anyways.. you all go?
[17:36] <Mani> (Yep.)
[17:36] <Reis> (Yuppers)
[17:36] <Kuonji> (well, my reanimated usagi controlled corpse does)
[17:37] <Alathon> There's nobody at the telepad.
[17:38] <Sheena> "Wonder what this "fast" mission the boss wants us to do is"
[17:39] <Mani> "We'll find out soon enough."
[17:39] <Mani> "Anyway, whenever you're ready, take us out."
[17:39] * Reis nods, and holds out her hand. "You want this, or should I?"
[17:40] <Sheena> "Go ahaed, ill get us back"
[17:41] * Mani frowns.
[17:41] <Mani> "You know, we won't be at our best for the mission if we go to the Bar first."
[17:42] * Reis nods. "That's why I was thinking afterward... Or perhaps just one goes?"
[17:42] <Mani> "Now that I think of it, afterwards would be better."
[17:43] <Mani> "There shouldn't be anything time-critical in our mailbox. No real reason for even one of us to be less than 100% for the mission."
[17:43] * Sheena shurgs
[17:43] <Sheena> "Call the boss up then"
[17:44] <Mani> "I'd rather not wake her if she's still asleep. I'll send a text message."
[17:44] <Alathon> (wait.. so you're just gonna choose not to do the mission, without knowing she's got the message?)
[17:46] <Mani> (Well, I figured it was more like us asking to go rather than her ordering us to, but if that's not the best idea, I'll call her up.)
[17:46] <Sheena> "That sounds a bit iffy"
[17:46] <Mani> "Mm, maybe so."
[17:47] * Mani calls her directly.
[17:48] <Alathon> She'll take a little longer to answer than normal, but you'll get her.
[17:48] <Alathon> She's holding the comm a little closer to the face than is normal.. as a result, you can only see her face and hair.
[17:48] <Alathon> She blinks a few times.
[17:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "Mani, what is it?"
[17:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "Did something go wrong?"
[17:49] <Sheena> (and now the mess of pruple hair next to her)
[17:49] <Sheena> (not)
[17:49] <Mani> "Sorry for calling so early, but we recalled that visiting the Bar has a somewhat debilitating effect and were thinking it may not be a good idea to go before the mission later today."
[17:49] <Alathon> Usagi blinks owlishly, trying to parse this.
[17:50] <Mani> "Unless you say otherwise, I think it would be better to visit after the mission, instead."
[17:51] <Alathon> Usagi continues mulling this over, then responds slowly,
[17:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "...sure. Okay, that works too."
[17:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll see you in.. "
[17:51] <Alathon> She looks off to the side briefly.
[17:51] <Alathon> Usagi, shocked and dismayed: "An hour?"
[17:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "Right.. see you in a bit."
[17:52] <Alathon> Usagi, a little grumpily: "Or is there anything else?"
[17:52] <Mani> "No, ma'am. See you then."
[17:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "Right."
[17:52] <Alathon> *click*
[17:53] * Mani puts her comm away.
[17:53] <Mani> "Ok, we'll go afterwards."
[17:53] <Alathon> I'll assume you all head back to your room.. or not?
[17:53] <Mani> (Yes, we'll go back.)
[17:53] <Sheena> "Joy, more waiting"
[17:54] <Mani> "If you'd rather call Usagi back up and chat with her to pass the time, feel free. I wouldn't recommend it, though."
[17:54] <Reis> (Yuppers, I guess we'll do some more... stuff, in there. :P )
[17:54] <Mani> "I can guarantee it wouldn't be boring, though."
[17:55] <Alathon> and, End here
[17:55] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[17:55] <Ataru> damn, never got around to laundry
[17:55] <Ataru> oh well, I'm sure I can find something
[17:55] <Alathon> heh, you knwo you're gonna mostly be busy every saturday afternoon.. maybe it's not the best laundry day ;p
[17:55] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[17:55] <Ataru> I woke up late
[17:55] <Yarrow> Wear something dirty and say that's your fetish.
[17:55] <Alathon> ahh
[17:56] <Ataru> I mmeant to do it before the game
[17:56] <Ataru> but I've been getting like 4 hours of sleep a night this week
[17:56] <Ataru> I guess I had some catching up to do
[17:56] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[17:58] <Sheena> i duno al
[17:58] * Sheena is now known as DCG
[17:58] <DCG> I seem to get more work done aorund the place when we are playing
[17:58] <DCG> keeps me active insted of just lazing out some place
[17:59] <DCG> just set irc to beep when there new line to read
[18:00] <Alathon> well, I'm kinda bummed you chose to swap the order up
[18:00] <Alathon> didn't get to drop a drama bomb ;p
[18:01] <Alathon> but oh well, next week-ish
[18:01] <Yarrow> Well, going into a fight while down on con didn't sound like the best idea.
[18:03] <Pale_Wolf> Heh, yeah, that's why Reis initially proposed doing it afterward.
[18:04] <Alathon> *nod*
[18:04] <Alathon> I've certainly got no beef iwth you for doing it that way ;p
[18:04] <Alathon> everyone being down 18-20 hp, down on saving throw, etc
[18:04] <Alathon> wouldn't have been ideal ;p
[18:05] <Pale_Wolf> Besides, if the short and light mission stretches out long enough, we can get the drama bomb at the end of next week :P
[18:05] <Alathon> well
[18:05] <Alathon> Yarrow, are you still missing next week?
[18:05] <Alathon> orw as that a maybe?
[18:05] <Pale_Wolf> Or, if it's short enough, we can get the drama bomb before the break :P
[18:06] <Yarrow> That wasn't me.
[18:06] <Yarrow> I think it was Ataru.
[18:06] <Alathon> d'oh.. who was it?
[18:06] <Alathon> ahh
[18:06] <Alathon> well, sucks either way
[18:06] <Alathon> but life will go on
[18:06] <Alathon> as a side note
[18:06] <Alathon> week after next will be a short game, as I've got a "coed wedding shower" to go to ;p
[18:07] <Alathon> will only be like 4, 4 and a half hours tops
[18:07] <Alathon> actually, we could start early if that works for other peoples schedules, seeing as I'm the west coaster
[18:07] <Alathon> I could get up a bit early
[18:08] <Yarrow> Shouldn't be a problem for me.
[18:09] <Alathon> hmm
[18:09] <Ataru> oh hey, my dad got a job working at fenway
[18:09] <Alathon> 2888 exp for the session

Session 70

Postby Alathon » Sun Apr 06, 2008 4:53 am

Session 70

[11:21] <Alathon> sigh
[11:21] <Alathon> now that I've made a mockery of the whole early start thing..
[11:22] <Alathon> (I normally screen during the game and call back later, but they're travelling so..)
[11:22] <Reis> (Heh)
[11:22] <Alathon> okay
[11:22] <Alathon> you chose to delay the trip to the bar because of the life-draining cost of entry, which could be problematic right before a mission
[11:22] <Alathon> So
[11:23] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[11:23] <Alathon> you've all got a couple hours before mission departure was scheduled
[11:23] <Alathon> Is there anything any of you want to accomplish in that time?
[11:23] <Mani> (Nothing worth mentioning on my part.)
[11:23] <Reis> (Would've worked on charging a few more cartridges, if possible)
[11:25] * Ataru is now known as Sakura
[11:25] * Sakura is now known as Kuonji
[11:25] <Alathon> Alright, that sounds like a "not anything that needs to be done on screen"
[11:25] <Reis> (Heh, indeed)
[11:25] <Kuonji> (forgot about nickserv
[11:26] <Alathon> So that'll bring us to your mission briefing
[11:27] <Alathon> Yuuno shows up, as does Princess Usagi and Mercury
[11:28] <Alathon> Yuuno seems a little pre-occupied.
[11:29] <Sheena> (wasnt yuuno with us? i forget last week)
[11:29] <Alathon> Usagi's tapping away at her comm, so Mercury greets you all as you enter.
[11:29] * Reis looks up as the various peoples come in.
[11:29] <Alathon> Yuuno wasn't with you last week because you were going to the bar and she didn't want to come.
[11:29] <Reis> (No way, he ain't going NEAR Nanoha's :P )
[11:29] <Alathon> (er, as they enter ;p )
[11:31] <Alathon> Everyone gets a seat, and Mercury starts in on the mission with alacrity.
[11:32] <Alathon> Mercury: "Today we'll be visiting several backwater UST Churches and testing this team's ability to destroy their artifacts, in terms of safety and efficacy."
[11:33] <Alathon> She brings up a holographic map of the UST, then centers it off to the southwest.. actually kinda near where you previously assassinated one of their high-ranking Evangelists.
[11:33] * Reis nods, leaning forward.
[11:34] <Alathon> She then brings up several points of light.
[11:34] <Alathon> Mercury: "I've established teleport points outside each of these towns."
[11:35] * Sheena blinks at that... an offical test to see how good this crew can blow shit up?
[11:35] * Sheena gets a bit of a silly grin
[11:35] <Alathon> Mercury: "I'd like to test several methods."
[11:37] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis' long range single target attack, the same augmented by Sakura, whether a combination attack made by both Sheena and Reis, and a satchel charge without benefit of supernatural alteration of the artifact beforehand."
[11:38] * Reis nods. "Should we attempt the first three from long range without bothering to enter the church, ma'am?"
[11:38] <Alathon> Mercury: "As well, are there any additional methods that have sprung to any of your minds that you believe merit an attempt?"
[11:38] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[11:39] <Alathon> Mercury: "Yes. I can provide you targeting information."
[11:40] <Sheena> (SHeena:Well i got this antimater laying around.. Mecury: Yes.. Brilliant lets add antimater to an atrfiact filled with life engery.)
[11:40] <Reis> "All right, thank you. It's possible our own support senses might be able to see the cross through the walls, as well, I imagine we should check that..."
[11:41] <Alathon> (just remember, you don't ACTUALLY have antimatter for mechancis purposes, you could shatter the planet with the amount you described having ;p )
[11:41] <Sheena> "Thats not the type of magic you can forget about"
[11:41] <Sheena> (i know)
[11:41] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[11:42] <Alathon> Mercury: "Can you make your combination attacks single-target rather than a wide area beam or explosion?"
[11:43] * Reis nods. "Yes ma'am, we used them for an assassination in a crowd a few weeks ago. No collateral damage."
[11:43] <Alathon> Mercury: "Right."
[11:43] <Alathon> (a couple months ago, but whatever)
[11:43] <Reis> (Besides, if you just threw a kilogram of antimatter at it you'd see the largest detonation this planet has yet seen, and that's counting the fact that we had a nuclear war)
[11:43] <Reis> (Months? Huh. It was that long in-game?)
[11:44] <Alathon> (since the Addington assassination?
[11:44] <Reis> (Yeah)
[11:44] <Alathon> (yeah, there was the time spent when Mani was dead, and Kuonji was off in china, then some more time after that)
[11:44] <Reis> (I thought it was just a few weeks until the party reassembled, and then maybe one or two weeks on top of that.)
[11:44] <Reis> (Heh, righto.)
[11:44] <Alathon> (and then several days inbetween each mission)
[11:44] <Alathon> (those add up)
[11:44] <Sheena> (Sheena: Gah, Im old!)
[11:44] <Reis> (Heh, indeed. Retcon it to months then ;) )
[11:45] <Kuonji> "This better not end up like last time..."
[11:45] <Alathon> Mercury: "In the case of the satchel charge, we'll need to clear the Church first, hence bringing the whole team."
[11:45] <Reis> (Reis is still eighteen, I think. Though sooner or later I'm gonna need to have my nineteenth birthday :P )
[11:45] <Kuonji> "I've got enough curses as it is."
[11:45] * Reis winces. "Yes... here's hoping, Sakura-san."
[11:45] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll let Mercury do the evaccing this time."
[11:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "I should hope not."
[11:45] * Reis giggles.
[11:46] <Reis> (/me wonders if Ryba's posted in the area and that's how she found us so easily...)
[11:47] <Alathon> Mercury: "Ideally, we should be able to complete this mission in the space of twenty minutes or so."
[11:47] <Alathon> Mercury: "Five minutes per church."
[11:48] * Reis nods. "Roger, ma'am."
[11:48] <Alathon> Mercury: "I'll be dropping us quite near them, and will require minimal time to assess the state of the artifacts post-attack."
[11:48] <Alathon> Mercury: "Our primary objective is this assessment, Not the destruction of the artifacts."
[11:49] <Alathon> Mercury: "Should one or more attempts fail, we will procede to the next target regardless."
[11:49] <Sheena> "In what way are they protected? if at all"
[11:49] <Alathon> Mercury: "Proximity close proximity triggers a flaming effect as well as a life-draining effect."
[11:50] <Alathon> (one extra proximity there ;p )
[11:50] * Reis winces. "Be careful of that one, it even affected us when Sakura and I were in unison."
[11:50] * Mani hms.
[11:51] <Mani> "I wonder how well it can be resisted."
[11:52] * Reis purses her lips. "It's fairly heavy-duty. The fire wasn't much trouble with the enhanced barrier jacket, but the drain went straight through."
[11:52] <Mani> "It was the drain I was referring to."
[11:53] <Alathon> Mercury: "I'm hesitant to suggest any such test, but if you believe there is a means to resist them, I would not veto it."
[11:54] <Reis> (_Is_ there a mechanics way to resist EP drain? :P )
[11:54] <Sheena> "I can ask later"
[11:55] <Sheena> "I found distraction works well aginst for certent types of draining, but thats not something useless here"
[11:55] <Sheena> *usefull
[11:56] <Mani> "From my experience, it *should* be possible... I'd need to get close to test the theory, though."
[11:56] <Alathon> Usagi briefly looks up at the heavens, then back down at the group.
[11:56] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[11:56] * Reis flushes at that one.
[11:56] <Alathon> Mercury: "In that case, we will add that to the itinerary at our fourth location."
[11:57] <Kuonji> "Yeah, well, I'd like to stay as far from it as possible personally."
[11:57] <Alathon> Mercury either didn't get what sheena was talking about, or didn't care.
[11:57] <Alathon> Yuuno just looked faintly annoyed.
[11:57] <Alathon> Mercury cracks a smile.
[11:57] <Alathon> Mercury: "That is unfortunate, Sakura, in that I had planned for you to take responsibility for placing the satchel charge."
[11:58] <Alathon> Mercury: "Inasmuch as you are the most likely to be assigned this task in the future should it prove a viable method."
[11:58] <Alathon> Mercury: "And, I believe Mani was volunteering herself, rather than a teammate."
[11:58] <Sheena> "I can as well, if some one is there to pull me away"
[11:59] <Sheena> "I can get a general idea on the power of this things "drain"
[11:59] * Reis shakes her head. "We can get away from it all right. It's extremely... unpleasant, but it's possible to last for a little while."
[11:59] <Sheena> "Will be usefull information later when i see about ways to resist it"
[11:59] <Mani> (Sheena: "A medium-sized orgasm's worth. What? Why are you all looking at me?")
[12:00] <Sheena> (*sighs* sad, but true)
[12:01] <Alathon> Mercury: "Bear in mind that they are also on fire."
[12:01] <Sheena> (sheena: What thats it? I feel more when celeste grabs myass. Usagi: Really, stop shareing. It's bad enought i have to read thoes reports)
[12:01] * Mani nods.
[12:02] <Alathon> Mercury looks at Mani.
[12:02] <Alathon> Mercury: "I understand you have dabbled some in life-force manipulation. Is there anything in particular you would like to test?"
[12:02] <Alathon> Mercury: "Beyond resisting the draining effects."
[12:03] <Reis> (Draining the cross would be funny.)
[12:04] <Mani> "Well, I can resist the effect, I could see if trying to ground the cross's energy has any effect."
[12:04] <Mani> "My feeling is that it probably wouldn't, but..."
[12:04] * Mani shrugs.
[12:04] <Alathon> Mercury purses her lips for a moment.. Usagi looks a little alarmed.
[12:05] <Alathon> Mercury: "You can attempt this if you wish."
[12:06] <Sheena> "Hmm.. A soild ground could short out there network"
[12:06] <Alathon> Mercury: "If they are, indeed, networked."
[12:06] <Alathon> Mercury: "I have not yet detected compelling evidence of such."
[12:07] * Sheena nods
[12:07] <Sheena> "Another problem is i dont think mani comes with an easyly replaceable fuse"
[12:07] * Reis nods. "We'd have to steal one and examine it more closely before we really knew how they function... Are there any plans in the works for that, ma'am?"
[12:07] <Alathon> Mercury: "Yes."
[12:08] <Mani> "It makes sense to learn more about them, including ways to destroy them, before taking one home."
[12:08] <Alathon> Mercury: "In specific, we are having preparations made for a mobile laboratory, such that we can remove one of the artifacts to a neutral location and examine it outside of Crystal Tokyo."
[12:09] <Reis> (Take it to some backwater area in China? That way if it blows up a continent, it's a HOSTILE continent? :P )
[12:09] <Alathon> Mercury: "This is pure supposition.."
[12:09] * Reis nods.
[12:09] <Alathon> Mercury: "But it seems to me that with such a high concentration of energy, it ought to be trivial to build in a self-destruct mechanism capable of employing that stolen energy."
[12:10] <Alathon> Mercury: "Were it able to be triggered at range..."
[12:10] * Mani nods.
[12:10] * Reis smiles slightly, nodding.
[12:11] <Mani> "Of course, that can be a double-edged sword."
[12:11] <Sheena> "Over all this should be a lot of stolden life force reentering the envorment, Any effects from that?"
[12:11] <Alathon> Mercury: "Indeed. If we could harness it.."
[12:11] <Kuonji> (... motherfucker)
[12:11] * Sheena looks at dark heart next to her.. wonder if she should go there
[12:12] <Alathon> Mercury: "I do not know, Sheena."
[12:12] <Kuonji> (I just go to check the fridge for my barely touched bottle of soda)
[12:12] <Kuonji> (It's almost all gone)
[12:12] <Sheena> (i hate that)
[12:12] <Alathon> Mercury: "I have witnessed releases of stolen life-energy with minimal side-affects."
[12:12] * Reis frowns. "I suppose when we destroy the sample we should have instruments going to observe just what happens. And where the energy goes."
[12:13] <Alathon> Mercury: "As well, the artifacts I have destroyed do not seem to have generated much beyond a release of magic, life-force, and kinetic and heat energy."
[12:13] <Alathon> Mercury: "No, that's for later."
[12:14] <Alathon> Mercury: "When we can destroy one in a controlled environment."
[12:14] * Reis shakes her head. "No, I meant the sample that we would be stealing. The instruments would probably be too heavy to lug into a battle zone anyway."
[12:14] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[12:15] <Alathon> Mercury: "So.. beyond the addition of the two tests Mani will carry out at our fourth target, is there anything else?"
[12:15] <Sheena> (eh wasnt sheena doing that test?)
[12:16] <Alathon> (Mercury doesn't think so, she thought Mani volunteered; if you disagree, now's the time to speak up ;p )
[12:16] <Alathon> (Sheena talked about doing it, but didn't explicitly say she would do it as well, or in mani's place)
[12:17] <Reis> (And besides, the only method Sheena had in mind for resisting it was 'distraction'.)
[12:17] <Mani> (She's probably not its type, anyway. :) )
[12:19] <Reis> (... Molesting a cross. That'd be a new level of blasphemy for Sheens. :P )
[12:19] <Sheena> "I would like to test the drain as well"
[12:20] <Sheena> "More infomation to compare, i could likle bring this up with celeste and hopfully learn counters or at lest how its done"
[12:21] <Alathon> Mercury: "Time-permitting, you may do so after Mani does, and before we test the satchel charge."
[12:21] <Alathon> Usagi looks even more disturbed, but doesn't comment.
[12:23] <Alathon> Mercury: "Allright then, let's procede to the telepad."
[12:23] <Alathon> She stands up.
[12:23] * Mani rises, as well.
[12:23] * Reis stands, stretching slightly.
[12:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Good luck, and stay safe, alright>?"
[12:25] <Alathon> Mercury's already halfway out the door, so she's presumably talking to you-all.
[12:25] * Reis nods. "We will, Usagi-san."
[12:25] * Mani smiles slightly.
[12:25] <Mani> "We'll do our best."
[12:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "Fair 'nuff."
[12:25] <Alathon> She'll follow the team out, but head off in another direction at the first intersection of hallways.
[12:26] * Sheena waves to the boss as they go
[12:26] <Alathon> Yuuno walks up to Sheena along the way to the Telepad.
[12:26] <Alathon> Yuuno, to Sheena: "Is that REALLY a good idea?"
[12:26] <Alathon> Yuuno, to Sheena: "Don't you get enough of that already?"
[12:27] * Sheena does a blink blink
[12:27] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I mean, mani at least knows some stuff about all that.. you've just been on the receiving end."
[12:27] <Alathon> She says the last bit a little snarkily.
[12:28] <Sheena> "Whats wrong with testing it? I just figered having some experince i can compair, and share the memory with celste later"
[12:28] * Sheena grins get a bit off..
[12:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I dunno, everything?"
[12:28] <Sheena> "And the only reason i've stayed on the reciving end is i dont want to upset you or usagi."
[12:29] <Alathon> Yuuno's mouth hangs open for a second, then she shuts it.
[12:29] * Reis frowns.
[12:29] * Sheena holds up dark heart
[12:29] <Mani> "There are very good reasons not to take other people's energy, Sheena. It's very dangerous."
[12:29] <Alathon> Yuuno, much more seriously, "You should be more worried about yourself, Sheena.. and I don't mean.."
[12:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah, what Mani said."
[12:30] <Sheena> "Just what do you think Your old fiend used to do what she did? eh?"
[12:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "And I don't mean any sort of consequences, or me being pissed off, or anything like that."
[12:30] <Sheena> "You should trust me a bit more then that"
[12:30] <Mani> "And I don't mean to the person being drained."
[12:30] <Alathon> Yuuno, agitated, "I don't even want to think about that!"
[12:31] <Alathon> Mercury just keeps going; she doesn't seem to be bothered by the conversation in the slightest.
[12:31] <Kuonji> (fuck I'm thirsty now)
[12:31] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Just.. I dunno."
[12:31] <Sheena> "I happen to know quite a bit about the effects, thank you every much. After all two people draining from each other dont make for a very long lasting relasionship"
[12:31] <Kuonji> (knew I shouldn't have left the soda in the fridge)
[12:32] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Er, what? Never mind, I don't want to know."
[12:32] * Sheena sighs and runs a hand throguht her hair.
[12:32] <Mani> "The effects on a human drainer?"
[12:32] <Alathon> (er.. if you could drain ep back and forth, it'd be like being able to trade hits of heroin back and forth)
[12:32] <Reis> (Right. Sorry about taking so long, person came and decided to talk at me.)
[12:32] <Alathon> (oh well, it happens ;p )
[12:32] <Mani> (The crazy fool!)
[12:32] <Sheena> "If you dont want me to do it yuuno i wont, You all so should read thoes books i got. Might help you stop worring"
[12:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll read them, allright.."
[12:33] <Sheena> (err really?)
[12:33] * Reis just continues frowning.
[12:33] <Mani> "What are those books on, exactly?"
[12:33] <Reis> (No point speaking now, I got too darn distracted at the right points ;_; )
[12:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Umbrae culture, and biographical information on a few that are apparently famous."
[12:34] * Mani sighs.
[12:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "But seriously, just.. don't start with that, allright?"
[12:35] <Mani> "Do keep in mind that there are distinct differences between races and something that's safe for hers may not be the least bit safe for you."
[12:35] * Sheena smirks some
[12:35] <Alathon> Yuuno, softly: ".... I don't want you to end up like Nanoha."
[12:35] <Sheena> "Don't worrie about it yuuno. My power is my own. And when i smack around age and death it will be outa skill and work"
[12:36] <Alathon> Yuuno mutters, "Just keep it that way."
[12:36] <Alathon> (any response to sheena?)
[12:36] <Alathon> (er
[12:36] <Alathon> (sheena, any response to Mani)
[12:36] * Sheena looks over at mani
[12:36] * Reis sighs, looking lost in thought.
[12:37] <Reis> (God DAMMIT, I hate getting dragged ENTIRELY out of an RP because someone wants to go on at length about something.)
[12:37] <Reis> (I feel like freaking Dorin.)
[12:38] <Sheena> "Ya there is!.. but don't worrie we're testing a lot to see what works and what dont'"
[12:38] <Sheena> "Would you like a list?"
[12:38] <Sheena> "I htink there's still a vid of the last trial..."
[12:38] * Sheena grins
[12:38] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Sure, why not."
[12:38] <Alathon> She says this without any particular inflection.
[12:38] * Reis flushes, burying her face in her hands.
[12:39] <Alathon> Mercury: "If you could forward me a copy as well, I would appreciate it."
[12:39] <Mani> "Maybe you're not aware, but it's not something failing to work that's the biggest danger."
[12:39] * Reis chokes, and starts coughing.
[12:42] * Sheena nods at the orders
[12:43] <Alathon> Anyways.. Yuuno doesn't have anything else to add.
[12:43] <Sheena> "Well coming up with ways to block, or at lest find out how they are pulling this off would help right?"
[12:44] <Sheena> "And i dont think you would feel up to sharieng the memory of its effect with celeste mani"
[12:44] <Alathon> (Mercury collects Sheena's videos, then publishes them under the 'Hot Vampire Action' title)
[12:44] <Sheena> (it's all ways the quite ones)
[12:44] <Reis> (Heh. And Sheena isn't even particularly concerned with Mercury wanting to watch her porn.)
[12:45] <Mani> "Oh, learning to block it is certainly worthwhile. But draining life force really is dangerous and shouldn't be performed by humans without a very good reason, and even then, with great caution."
[12:45] * Sheena nods
[12:46] <Sheena> "Oh i totaly understand that, We're just not build for it. Other way around really."
[12:48] <Alathon> Having said that, you reach the floor with the telepads.
[12:48] <Alathon> Mercury will lead you to one, enter authorization to open the door, and lead you all in.
[12:48] <Alathon> Once everyone's in, she'll briefly go over the mission parameters again.
[12:49] * Sheena wonders whats up with the telepads.. its not like just any one can use em to begin with
[12:49] <Reis> (They don't exactly want people wandering in when people are landing.)
[12:49] <Reis> ('Splinch' is possibly the only good word that ever came out of Harry Potter.)
[12:49] <Alathon> Mercury: "First target, Reis attacks it alone."
[12:49] <Reis> (Though 'telefrag' works too.)
[12:49] * Reis nods.
[12:50] <Alathon> Mercury: "Second target, Reis supported by Kuonji. Begin your Unison after my second teleport."
[12:50] <Reis> "Only one shot, or fire until it takes damage?"
[12:50] <Alathon> Mercury: "One shot."
[12:50] * Reis nods.
[12:50] <Alathon> Mercury: "Or one volley, if you can direct multiple energy projectiles."
[12:51] <Kuonji> "Can you give me a minute to change here?"
[12:51] <Alathon> Mercury: "third target, Reis and Sheena together, with Sakura unisoned to Reis."
[12:51] * Reis nods.
[12:51] <Alathon> Mercury nods to Kuonji.
[12:51] <Alathon> mercury: "Yes."
[12:51] <Reis> (My god, I've gotta mix my reactions up a bit. I just did the same thing three times in a row.)
[12:52] <Alathon> Mercury: "Fourth target, we will all enter the church, remove any occupants, test Mani and Sheena's capability to resist the energy draining effects of the artifact, then attempt to destroy it with a satchel charge."
[12:52] * Kuonji strips and stows his stuff before tossing Reis a canteen.
[12:52] <Alathon> (heh)
[12:52] * Reis catches the canteen, and pours on Kuonji's signal.
[12:52] * Kuonji takes a second to take out a thermos and test the temprature of the water inside
[12:53] <Mani> ("Sheena's not going to try to resist it. She's just in the mood for a good draining.")
[12:53] <Reis> (You know, considering what she's into, I wouldn't be surprised.)
[12:54] <Alathon> (heh, makes you wonder what sort of fetishes you'd run into on fetish night at the bar ;p )
[12:54] <Kuonji> (Can I get away with saying I have hot water in the thermos or do you want me to fill it up here?)
[12:54] <Alathon> I'll assume you did so before coming to the meeting.
[12:54] * Kuonji seals and stows the thermos
[12:54] <Mani> (I suppose I don't have grenades yet. :) )
[12:54] <Kuonji> "Whenever your ready Reis."
[12:55] * Reis pours away.
[12:55] <Alathon> Kuonji changes.
[12:55] <Kuonji> "Right, well I'mready."
[12:56] * Sheena has dark heart out and ready
[12:56] <Alathon> Mercury: "Anything else before we begin?"
[12:57] * Reis nods, and triggers her barrier jacket, catching the sword as it appears. "I'm ready as well, ma'am."
[12:57] * Mani shakes her head and stands ready.
[12:57] <Alathon> Mercury: "Teleporting in 5."
[12:57] <Alathon> She doesn't count down, but in five seconds the area is filled with a flurry of blue-white specks, and....
[12:58] <Alathon> It's dusk, and you're just off the side of a dirt road.
[12:58] * Reis oddly appears to have a smallish cylinder hooked onto her armour near the skirt. New addition to the setup, apparently.
[12:58] <Alathon> There's nobody in sight.
[12:59] * Reis looks around, orienting herself.
[12:59] * Sheena looks around for local magic, then shisfts to her uniform if the coasts clear
[12:59] <Sheena> *err uniform to fuku
[13:00] * Kuonji floats over to Reis' shoulder and has a seat
[13:00] <Alathon> A pale blue visor appears over Mercury's eyes, and she looks around breifly.
[13:00] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis, follow me. the rest of you, wait here."
[13:00] <Alathon> Mercury flies straight up, a couple hundred feet, then off to the north-ish.
[13:00] <Alathon> (Reis, join me in CT2)
[13:00] * Reis nods, and flashes up after her.
[13:00] * Kuonji will teleport to Sheena's shoulder
[13:01] <Kuonji> "Damn, and I had just sat down."
[13:02] * Mani works on making a crystal marble while she waits.
[13:03] * Sheena just stands there looking cool with dark heart out and a chibi ninja on her shoulder, shame no ones around
[13:03] <Sheena> "So how long before you can make thoes killer dresses?"
[13:04] <Mani> "Years at the least.
[13:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "that's kind of disappointing..."
[13:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I have to admit.. I kinda wish I had one of those."
[13:04] <Mani> "Well, I expect we're going to be kept busy for a while."
[13:07] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[13:07] <Alathon> With less than a minute having passed, Mercury flies down.
[13:07] * Reis appears shortly after her.
[13:07] <Alathon> As soon as Reis appears, Mercury turns to her and shakes her head slightly.
[13:08] <Alathon> Mercury: "target was not destroyed, or damaged sufficiently to affect it's magical or spiritual signatures."
[13:08] <Alathon> Mercury: "Everyone, teleporting in five."
[13:08] * Reis frowns. "There was _some_ damage though, at least?"
[13:08] * Sheena hmms at that
[13:08] * Reis gets close for said teleportation.
[13:08] <Alathon> She doesn't answer before the teleport.
[13:09] <Alathon> You come out of the teleport with a similar amount of light.
[13:09] <Alathon> This time, however, you're in a copse of trees.
[13:09] <Alathon> Mercury: "Unison, then follow me."
[13:09] * Kuonji flys over to reis and initiates the unison
[13:09] <Alathon> (Kuonji, join us in CT2 once you unison)
[13:10] <Alathon> It'll go like it has the last few times, lightshow and all. Reis now glows brightly.
[13:10] <Alathon> Mercury: "Follow me."
[13:10] * Reis closes her eyes to unison, and then opens them, nodding and following Merc.
[13:10] <Alathon> Mercury flies up, then off to the southeast.
[13:11] * Reis flashes after her.
[13:12] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. I kinda wonder if I really had to come."
[13:12] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I suppose the whole 'clearing out the fourth church' part could take all of us though, if it's defended the way those Confederacy cathedrals were."
[13:12] <Mani> "If you didn't, we wouldn't have a teleporter with us when we split up."
[13:13] <Alathon> Yuuno: "..oh. Duh."
[13:13] <Alathon> Yuuno shakes her head a little.
[13:13] * Sheena reachs a hand over near yuuno
[13:13] <Sheena> "Cides, since you here i can tease your ears"
[13:13] * Sheena teases the tip of yuuno ear a bit
[13:15] <Alathon> Yuuno jerks away from it violently.
[13:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "H-hey!"
[13:17] * Sheena smirks
[13:17] <Alathon> She apparently didn't think you'd really touch her ears.
[13:17] <Alathon> Right around then, Mercury lands.
[13:18] * Reis appears shortly after in her glowey lightshow.
[13:18] <Alathon> Mercury: "Teleporting in five."
[13:18] <Sheena> (yuuno: Stop that. What would do if i just came up and grabed you chest? Sheena: ... smile and enjoy it?"
[13:18] * Sheena gets ready for the port
[13:18] * Reis blinks at the antics going down, but is then teleported.
[13:19] <Alathon> It's still dusk.
[13:19] <Alathon> It's also still a wooded area.
[13:19] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis, Sheena, follow me."
[13:20] <Alathon> She flies up and off.
[13:20] <Alathon> (Sheena, join us in CT2)
[13:20] * Reis follows at full speed/
[13:20] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Mani.
[13:21] * Mani cocks her head.
[13:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Mercury said you'd been working on life-force manipulation.. what was that all about?"
[13:21] * Sheena follows easy
[13:21] <Alathon> (#ct2)
[13:22] <Mani> "Healing, borrowing a patient's life force to power the healing spell being cast on them, grounding an opponent's life force."
[13:22] <Alathon> Yuuno bites her lower lip.
[13:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Does that work?"
[13:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "The healing-them-with-their-own-power thing, I mean?"
[13:24] <Mani> "Yes, but I'm still exposed to their energy briefly, which is a bit of a problem if I try to heal a lot of people that way in succession."
[13:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "...what's it like?"
[13:25] <Alathon> She seems a little creeped out at the same time as she's curious.
[13:26] <Mani> "Well, absorbing someone's life force is a very pleasurable experience. Too pleasurable. Just touching it briefly before it goes to power a spell simply feels pleasant."
[13:27] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah, but.. I mean, what's it feel like?"
[13:27] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Er."
[13:27] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If that's not cool, that's okay."
[13:28] <Alathon> Yuuno realizes that maybe that's none of her business.
[13:28] <Mani> "It's hard to describe."
[13:28] <Alathon> She still looks curious though.
[13:29] * Mani thinks for a moment.
[13:29] <Reis> (Huh. So they're not junkies, they're nymphomaniacs?)
[13:30] <Mani> "Think of what pleasure means to you. Then imagine it flowing through your entire body."
[13:33] <Alathon> Yuuno's ears quiver a little.
[13:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.."
[13:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll take your word for it."
[13:35] <Mani> "I should hope so."
[13:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I didn't mean it like that.."
[13:36] * Mani grins briefly.
[13:37] <Mani> "Still, you should have the chance to feel what it's like to be on the receiving end of such warnings."
[13:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I wonder what's taking them so long."
[13:37] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little worried, then grins at your comment.
[13:42] <Alathon> Yuuno then looks off past you, in the direction they flew off.
[13:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Something happened.."
[13:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I think they blew it up."
[13:42] <Mani> "You can feel that from here?"
[13:42] <Alathon> Briefly after she speaks, Mercury lands.
[13:43] * Reis comes to ground after her, breathing slowly to catch her breath.
[13:44] <Alathon> Mercury, unperturbed: "Teleport in five."
[13:44] <Alathon> Mercury: "Actually.."
[13:44] <Alathon> Mercury: "Kuonji, de-unison first."
[13:44] * Sheena lands in a blur
[13:44] * Reis clears a bit of space for Kuonji to pop out.
[13:44] * Kuonji deunisons
[13:45] <Alathon> Mercury: "Alright, teleport in five."
[13:46] <Alathon> The seconds pass.. and she once again teleports you all.
[13:46] <Reis> (Were we changing him back too?)
[13:46] <Alathon> It seems a little brighter at your destination.
[13:46] <Alathon> Mercury teleported before you could.
[13:46] <Reis> (Righto)
[13:46] * Sheena checks and magic as dark heart switchs to stirke flame
[13:46] * Reis looks around, blinking at the increased light.
[13:47] <Sheena> *checks AROUND for magic
[13:47] <Alathon> There doesn't seem to be any in your immediate vicinity, other than what came with the party.
[13:47] <Alathon> You're in what seems to be a smallish ravine, near a river.
[13:48] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis, if you could carry Mani?"
[13:49] * Mani assumes her natural form.
[13:49] <Alathon> Mercury walks over to Kuonji and holds out a hand.
[13:49] * Reis nods, and holds Mani when she comes over.
[13:49] * Kuonji floats to her hand
[13:49] <Sheena> "Ready for some speed yuuno?"
[13:49] <Alathon> She'll crook her arm around you carefully, holding you against her chest.
[13:50] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hell yeah!"
[13:50] <Alathon> Mercury: "Follow me."
[13:50] <Alathon> Mercury takes off, ascending a couple hundred feet into the air.
[13:50] * Reis smiles. "Back to the usual now..." She follows.
[13:51] * Sheena flys after keeping pace
[13:51] <Alathon> She flies south-ish.. comes up short of a smallish town.. and stop.
[13:52] * Sheena jerks to a stop..
[13:52] <Alathon> The town has maybe a couple hundred buildings, centered around one main street and three smaller streets that cross it.
[13:52] <Sheena> "Man.. we really need to set up some races back home"
[13:52] <Alathon> Everyone can see the crowd of people around one of the large-ish buildings.
[13:53] * Reis blinks at the crowd. "... Is mass in session?"
[13:53] <Alathon> Mercury: "Shazbot."
[13:53] <Kuonji> "Huh... Do we abandon target?"
[13:54] <Alathon> As you watch, the main doors of the building open.. and out comes a woman in a big puffy white dress, and a guy in what look like black leathers."
[13:54] * Reis blinks. "... Wedding?"
[13:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You've gotta be kidding me."
[13:54] <Sheena> "You got to be kidding me.. Ug i might actuly feel bad about this"
[13:54] <Alathon> Nobody seems to have noticed the people up in the air."
[13:54] <Alathon> They're focused on whatever's going on below.
[13:55] <Alathon> Mercury hesitates.
[13:55] <Sheena> "Warning shot to make then scatter?"
[13:55] <Kuonji> "A wedding?"
[13:55] <Kuonji> "Are we seriously going to attack a wedding?"
[13:55] <Alathon> Mercury: "Oh, hell. No."
[13:56] <Alathon> Mercury: "Teleport in five."
[13:56] <Sheena> "Roger"
[13:56] <Alathon> five seconds pass... and you reappear on the telepad.
[13:56] * Reis exhales in relief, and clusters together for the teleport.
[13:56] <Alathon> Mercury stares off, focused on.. soemthing or other.
[13:57] <Alathon> There's something going on on her visor.
[13:57] <Alathon> Mercury: "Alright, new target."
[13:58] <Sheena> "Ready to go"
[13:58] * Reis nods. "Where?"
[13:58] <Alathon> Mercury: "We'll have to do some flying, but I would just as soon not try to explain to Usagi why we blew up a wedding."
[13:59] <Sheena> "We got the speed for it'
[13:59] <Alathon> She's still holding Kuonji tight-ish.
[13:59] <Kuonji> "Well, at least we won't feel like some cliche anime villains."
[13:59] <Alathon> Mercury, distracted, "There is that.."
[13:59] <Alathon> Mercury: "allright."
[14:00] * Reis nods. "Yeah..."
[14:00] <Alathon> Mercury: "Teleport in five."
[14:00] * Reis braces.
[14:00] <Alathon> The teleport goes normally, and you all appear.. midair.
[14:00] <Alathon> It's noticeably brighter than the last stop.
[14:01] <Alathon> Mercury: "We're a bit further west."
[14:01] * Reis blinks and quickly catches herself before falling.
[14:01] <Alathon> Mercury: "Follow me."
[14:01] <Alathon> She jets off at a substantial clip.
[14:01] * Reis flashes after her, still carrying Mani.
[14:02] * Sheena flys after
[14:03] <Alathon> It'll take a while.
[14:04] <Alathon> You're flying over a lightly forested area.. deeper forest to the east.
[14:04] <Alathon> She's heading southish.. south by southeast, judging by where the sun set.
[14:05] * Sheena keeps pace as wingman and an eye out for problems, having a bit of experince in aircombat
[14:05] * Reis continues leaping after her.
[14:07] <Alathon> time passes.. the landscape passes..
[14:07] <Alathon> nothing happens.
[14:07] <Alathon> no random encounters with angels or nothin' ;p
[14:07] <Reis> (Whoo!)
[14:07] <Alathon> Soon enough, you come up on the outskirts of a town.
[14:08] <Alathon> This one is actually a bit bigger than the other four you've targeted today.
[14:08] <Reis> (Oh dear? :P )
[14:08] <Reis> (Ah, also, do we recognize any of the places we've been today?)
[14:08] <Alathon> Mercury flies straight over the town, waits for everyone to catch up..
[14:08] <Alathon> (nope)
[14:08] <Reis> (So none of 'em's Addy's place. Heh)
[14:09] * Reis comes in next to her, looking around at everything.
[14:09] <Alathon> Then flies straight down in front of the church, to the great surprise of the handful of people out on the street.
[14:09] <Alathon> Surprise quickly turns to terror, and they scatter.
[14:09] * Sheena lands next to her
[14:10] <Alathon> As you all land, you can hear them shouting about 'demons' and 'satan's spawn'.
[14:10] <Alathon> Mercury: "let's be quick about it."
[14:10] <Alathon> She walks up to the church and kicks one of the main doors off its hinges.
[14:10] * Mani moves away from Reis and takes human form.
[14:10] * Sheena raises an eyebrow at that and has the area around her start to darken
[14:10] <Alathon> Off the frame, actually.. the hinges tear away with the door.
[14:10] <Alathon> She enters.
[14:10] * Reis comes up alongside, following Mercury through the door.
[14:11] * Mani activates her uniform and follows.
[14:11] * Sheena takes the back smailing at the folks as they enter
[14:11] * Reis ignores the civilians unless one tries to take a shot at her.
[14:11] <Alathon> Inside it's alot like the last couple churches you went to.. just, not as ornate.
[14:11] <Alathon> There's not much in the way of stained glass, crystal, gold, or anything like that.
[14:12] <Mani> (How about evangelists? :) )
[14:12] <Alathon> The red carpet is well maintained, however, and the pews are stained wood and polished to a golden sheen.
[14:12] <Alathon> When you're about halfway to the cross, one busts in from a side door.
[14:12] <Alathon> Init
[14:12] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[14:12] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{23}
[14:12] <Alathon> He gapes for a moment, losing the chance for a surprise round.
[14:13] <Alathon> Mercury ignores him and keeps heading toward teh cross.
[14:13] <Alathon> Mercury: "Handle him."
[14:13] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+2
[14:13] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{5}
[14:13] <Sheena> (lawls)
[14:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4 Yuuno init
[14:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 Yuuno init --> [ 1d20=11 ]{15}
[14:14] <Mani> roll 1d20+9
[14:14] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{12}
[14:14] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+14
[14:14] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{30}
[14:14] <Alathon> This evangelist is in his formal robes; no armor.
[14:14] <Alathon> Alright
[14:15] <Alathon> roll 1d20+1 eva
[14:15] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+1 eva --> [ 1d20=1 ]{2}
[14:15] <Alathon> ...
[14:15] <Alathon> wow
[14:15] <Reis> (... Owie.)
[14:15] <Alathon> Fight order: Chibi-Kuonji, Reis, Yuuno, Mani, Sheena, Evangelical
[14:15] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[14:15] <Reis> (And Sheena, you thought YOU sucked? :P )
[14:15] <Alathon> Mercury lets go of you after she says 'handle him.'.
[14:15] <Mani> (Don't invite her to go on about her relationship with Celeste.)
[14:16] <Reis> (... Thank you for a thought I would never have willingly entertained on my own.)
[14:16] <Kuonji> (one sec, gotta find a stat in here)
[14:17] <Mani> (I live to inspire.)
[14:17] <Alathon> (for all that, Sheena still hasn't gone four for four with Celeste)
[14:17] <Alathon> (she's really kinda restrained when it comes to the kinky stuff)
[14:17] <Sheena> (fore for fore?)
[14:17] <Mani> (I won't ask for an explanation of that. :) )
[14:18] <Reis> (... Four for four? I have no idea what that means Alathon, but it FRIGHTENS me.)
[14:18] * Kuonji throws two black balls at the evangelical
[14:18] <Alathon> (hah, you don't remember that Sheena?)
[14:18] <Alathon> (I'll be sure to bring it up in your next solo ;p )
[14:18] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+34
[14:18] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{47}
[14:18] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+29
[14:18] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{32}
[14:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+8
[14:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{20}
[14:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+6
[14:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{17}
[14:18] <Alathon> Both hit
[14:19] <Alathon> (those are the paralyzers, right?)
[14:19] <Kuonji> (4 dc 18 fort saves for him)
[14:19] <Alathon> (four?)
[14:19] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+7
[14:19] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{8}, [ 1d20=15 ]{22}
[14:19] <Alathon> it doesn't matter ;p
[14:19] <Kuonji> (bind and irritate twice)
[14:19] <Alathon> the first one catches him square on and he just sorta.. freezes, and topples over.
[14:19] <Alathon> oh right
[14:20] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+7
[14:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{26}, [ 1d20=8 ]{15}
[14:20] <Sheena> "Cool"
[14:20] <Kuonji> "Heh, I knew that trick would come in handy sooner or later."
[14:20] <Alathon> He's motionless on the floor as the shadowy tendrils crawl over him.
[14:20] * Reis was bringing up her sword, but blinks and refrains. "Yeah... Nice shooting Sakura-san."
[14:20] <Sheena> "Toss his ass out on the street?"
[14:20] <Alathon> Alright, we're out of combat time.
[14:21] <Kuonji> "Mercury-sama, should I change back now?"
[14:21] <Alathon> Mercury: "No, that would attract even more attention."
[14:21] <Alathon> Mercury: "..I guess, yes."
[14:21] <Sheena> (awww, she liked holding yoU)
[14:21] <Mani> "What do you want us to do with him, ma'am?"
[14:21] <Alathon> Mercury, distracted: "Shove him under a pew, or somesuch."
[14:22] <Alathon> She's staring at the cross now.
[14:22] * Reis walks over to the guy and drags him under said pew.
[14:22] <Alathon> It's not hard, without the armor he isn't very heavy.
[14:22] <Alathon> He looks to be in his seven-hundreds.. maybe-eight-hundreds.
[14:22] <Alathon> Mercury turns to face everyone.
[14:22] <Alathon> Mercury: "alright.. Mani first, then sheena."
[14:22] <Kuonji> "Er, so can someone give me a hand? The thermos is a lot bigger then me."
[14:23] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis, if you please?"
[14:23] * Mani nods and approaches the cross.
[14:23] <Kuonji> (heh, she squeezed kuonji before she let him go)
[14:23] * Reis blinks and comes back over to Kuonji once she's done with the Eva, handling the thermos for him.
[14:24] * Sheena lets dark heart stand up.
[14:24] <Sheena> "Moninter for any mental attemps dark heart"
[14:24] <Alathon> Dark Heart: "xxxxx"
[14:24] <Alathon> (everyone who understands abyssal hears it say 'roger' ;p )
[14:25] <Alathon> (which iseveryone now, I guess)
[14:25] <Reis> (Heh)
[14:25] * Mani slowly gets closer until it reacts.
[14:25] * Reis will pour the thermos for Kuonji on his signal.
[14:25] * Kuonji signals then quickly changes
[14:26] * Reis hands him back the thermos as soon as he's done.
[14:26] <Alathon> As soon as you make the slightest contact, it bursts into flame
[14:26] <Alathon> roll 8d8
[14:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 8d8 --> [ 8d8=42 ]{42}
[14:27] * Reis winces and keeps an eye on how Mani's doing in there.
[14:29] <Mani> "It burns, but I can stop it from draining me easily enough."
[14:30] <Alathon> Mercury: "Alright."
[14:30] * Mani pulls back slightly.
[14:30] <Alathon> Mercury: "Sheena?"
[14:30] * Reis smiles slightly. "That's good news..."
[14:30] * Sheena holds out a hand into the burn drain area
[14:30] <Alathon> The flames continue for a few seconds after you pull back, then fade."
[14:30] <Alathon> roll 8d8 burn
[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 8d8 burn --> [ 8d8=34 ]{34}
[14:30] <Alathon> roll 8d8 ep drain
[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 8d8 ep drain --> [ 8d8=30 ]{30}
[14:30] <Alathon> They reignite promptly as Sheena tests the Cross.
[14:30] <Mani> "Shall I test grounding it once Sheena is done? Probably best to clear the area, just in case."
[14:32] <Alathon> Mercury watches Sheena.
[14:32] <Alathon> Mercury: "Yes."
[14:32] * Sheena pulls her hand back with a bit of snarl
[14:32] <Sheena> "Fuckers do it the nasty way"
[14:32] <Alathon> Kuonji, you getting dressed while they do this?
[14:33] * Sheena checks out her armoed hand
[14:33] <Sheena> "heat damage is minmal"
[14:33] <Alathon> It fucking hurts, you just shoved it in a fire ;p
[14:33] <Sheena> (armor?)
[14:33] <Alathon> given, your armor absorbed most of it
[14:33] <Alathon> Mercury: "Allright. Go ahead, Mani."
[14:33] <Mani> "Move back, please, Sheena."
[14:34] <Kuonji> (yes, yes I am)
[14:34] * Reis watches the stuff going on at the cross, keeping an eye out for anyone coming into the church.
[14:34] <Sheena> "Power would be leathal on weaker people, for me it was about what i shot off earler"
[14:34] * Sheena backs away and reclams dark heart ready to sheild
[14:34] <Mani> (Please tell me she's referring to her earlier attack and not her last date with Celeste...)
[14:34] * AlAtWork (~nlennig@tide501.microsoft.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
[14:34] <Alathon> (dammit.. I forgot to log out at work ;p )
[14:35] * Mani slices a shadowy, insubstantial sword through the cross once the flames have died down.
[14:35] <Alathon> (I suppose it's not a security concern, I've jumped through all the right hoops, but.. still kinda lame)
[14:35] <Sheena> (if celeste wants 30ep she's making dinner first)
[14:35] <Alathon> roll the ep drain
[14:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled the ep drain --> error: malformed expression
[14:36] <Mani> roll 4d8
[14:36] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 4d8 --> [ 4d8=13 ]{13}
[14:36] <Kuonji> "Huh..."
[14:36] <Reis> (... That roll sucked.)
[14:36] <Alathon> Your attack passes through the sabre, and nothing explodes or anything.
[14:36] <Kuonji> "It seems like there's a little bit less life energy in the cross."
[14:36] <Alathon> Mercury: "Hmm."
[14:37] <Alathon> Mercury: " I observed the same."
[14:37] <Alathon> Mercury looks over at Mani.
[14:37] <Kuonji> "And hey, no fair ripping off my shadow sabre!"
[14:37] * Reis cocks her head, observing the cross. "Hm... How much less?"
[14:37] <Mani> "Nothing exploded, at any rate. I definitely bit into somethng. I'd like to try some more."
[14:37] <Alathon> Mercury: "Not much.. Mani, could you repeat that several times, or is that attack difficult to repeat?"
[14:37] <Kuonji> "Not much less, just a bit."
[14:37] * Mani sets herself and performs a full round attack.
[14:38] <Mani> roll 3#4d8
[14:38] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#4d8 --> [ 4d8=15 ]{15}, [ 4d8=16 ]{16}, [ 4d8=28 ]{28}
[14:38] <Reis> (Well, at least ONE of your rolls didn't suck)
[14:38] <Alathon> Mercury: "interesting."
[14:38] <Mani> "Continue?"
[14:39] <Alathon> Mercury: "No.. actually."
[14:39] <Alathon> Mercury: "another scenario has occured to me. We will test the satchel charge on this cross, and move from there."
[14:39] <Kuonji> "So... This thing comes with instructions, right?"
[14:40] * Kuonji looks hopeful
[14:40] <Alathon> She reaches behind her back, and from nowhere, pulls out a satchel charge, with a coiled braided steel cable attached.
[14:40] * AlAtWork (~nlennig@tide534.microsoft.com) has joined #crystaltokyo
[14:40] <Alathon> She hands it to Kuonji.
[14:40] <Mani> "And won't be set off premeturely by fire, I hope."
[14:40] * Mani grins.
[14:40] <Alathon> Mercury: "No, this particular explosive will respond only to an electrical charge, which the detonator provides."
[14:40] * Reis chuckles. "That would be... a fairly embarrassing oversight."
[14:40] <Alathon> She goes on to explain the timer mechanism.. it's very simple.
[14:41] <Alathon> Mercury: "Pull the cable through this loop here --"
[14:41] <Alathon> Mercury points out a metal ring on the charge.
[14:41] <Alathon> Mercury: "And toss the cable over the top of the cross, then pull it tight after starting the timer.
[14:41] * Kuonji nods
[14:42] <Alathon> Mercury: "This should be a simple and reliable means of placing the charge near the center of the cross."
[14:42] <Alathon> Mercury walks over to the side of the church, summons an ice-spike, and starts slashing at the wall. it gives easily.
[14:42] <Alathon> Mercury: "Set it up and trigger it. We will exit to the side to avoid further notice, and monitor the result at range."
[14:43] * Kuonji walks towards the cross, puts the cable through the loop and throws the cable over the top
[14:44] <Alathon> gimme a throwing roll
[14:44] <Alathon> presumably that's just base attack
[14:44] <Kuonji> (uh... is that straight dex?)
[14:44] <Alathon> level / 2
[14:44] <Reis> (So, should be +9.)
[14:44] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+9
[14:44] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{25}
[14:44] <Alathon> don't worry it's a big metal cross, it's hard to miss ;p
[14:45] <Alathon> You succeed at lassoing the cross.
[14:45] <Alathon> You don't need any further rolls to start the timer, or pull it up. that's all pretty trivial.
[14:45] <Kuonji> "Alright starting the timer now, let's get out of here."
[14:46] <Alathon> Yuuno books it.
[14:46] * Kuonji starts the timer and pulls it uo
[14:46] <Kuonji> (up)
[14:46] * Kuonji books it with the others
[14:46] <Mani> "Evangelist?"
[14:46] * Reis will make sure everyone else is clear, and then simply teleport out and book it.
[14:46] <Sheena> "Drag em out?"
[14:46] <Kuonji> "Is he worth it?"
[14:46] * Sheena moves on as she isnt the strong one in the group
[14:46] <Alathon> Mercury has already left the building.
[14:46] * Reis blinks. "... I suppose if we put the effort to use nonlethal attacks we may as well."
[14:46] <Alathon> She's not there to ask.
[14:47] * Mani takes him and heads out at speed.
[14:47] * Kuonji follows
[14:47] * Reis heads out.
[14:47] <Alathon> His limbs are limp and unresisting as you carry him.
[14:48] <Alathon> Mercury will lead the party back a ways, near a row of houses.
[14:48] <Alathon> Soon enough, the charge will detonate.
[14:48] <Alathon> The back of the church is blown out, and the cross can be seen falling inward.
[14:48] <Alathon> Mercury: "Teleport in five."
[14:49] * Reis clusters around Merc.
[14:49] <Alathon> 4....3....2....1....
[14:49] <Reis> (Did it get destroyed or no?)
[14:49] <Alathon> Mercury teleports.
[14:49] <Alathon> You all appear... in a grassy plain.
[14:49] <Alathon> Mercury: "That charge was insufficient to destroy the cross."
[14:50] <Alathon> Mercury: "I believe one more test is in order."
[14:50] * Reis frowns. "Damn."
[14:50] <Mani> "Um, I brought ... him."
[14:50] * Mani holds up the evangelist.
[14:50] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Attaching a charge after Mani has drained --"
[14:50] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Mani.
[14:50] <Sheena> "Hope he enjoys long walks in nature"
[14:50] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Oh hell."
[14:50] * Reis blinkblinks. "... You didn't drop him?"
[14:50] <Mani> "I wasn't sure we wanted to leave a witness to our tests."
[14:51] <Alathon> Mercury: "A good point."
[14:51] <Alathon> Mercury: "Give him to me."
[14:51] * Mani does so.
[14:51] <Alathon> Mercury walks over to Mani, and takes him.
[14:51] <Alathon> She puts one gloves hand against his cheek, and..
[14:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+5
[14:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{17}
[14:51] <Kuonji> (breaks his neck?)
[14:51] <Mani> (Freezes his head solid!)
[14:52] <Alathon> His entire body pales, and she drops him.
[14:52] * Reis blinks, cocking her head.
[14:52] <Alathon> His body is clearly rigid now; the legs and arms bent as they were when she was holding him, propping him up at an odd angle.
[14:52] <Sheena> "Ouch"
[14:53] <Alathon> Mercury: "Follow me."
[14:53] <Alathon> She flies up without further comment.
[14:53] * Mani shifts and takes the Reis express.
[14:53] * Sheena gives a hop and jets after
[14:53] * Reis sighs, taking Mani and then following."
[14:53] <Kuonji> "Uh..."
[14:53] <Kuonji> "HEY DON'T LEAVE ME HERE."
[14:54] <Reis> (... Ooops? :P )
[14:54] <Alathon> Yuuno starts to fly off, then flies down, and grabs you.
[14:54] <Mani> ("He's so clingy.")
[14:54] <Reis> (Carrying him in full human form?)
[14:54] <Alathon> Yuuno has to really haul ass to catch up, but she does.
[14:54] <Alathon> Yuuno's straining, but she's got the speed to do it.
[14:54] <Kuonji> "Thanks buddy."
[14:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "No problem.
[14:55] * Reis flushes. "... I'm sorry, I didn't think about it..."
[14:55] <Alathon> She landed behind you and has you in a hug from behind to carry you.. she's mostly holding you by the shoulders. It's not super-pleasant, but it works.
[14:56] <Alathon> (er, her arms are below your arms, to be clear)
[14:56] * Reis would give a hand, but is kinda skipping along, not really regular enough for it.
[14:56] <Alathon> Mercury leads you to another town, and this one is familiar.
[14:56] <Alathon> It's the one where you offed Addington.
[14:57] <Reis> (Heh. Only so many towns IN the area :P )
[14:57] <Alathon> City is closer to the appropriate term, though it's certainly not a city like Chicago or Carson.
[14:57] * Reis frowns as it comes into view.
[14:57] <Alathon> Mercury will stop in the air above it.
[14:58] * Reis arrives next to Mercury, and will give Yuuno a hand with Kuonji once they're stopped.
[14:58] <Alathon> Mercury: "We'll need to be quick about this, there are almost certainly several hostile forces in the area."
[14:58] <Alathon> Mercury: "Sheena, punch a hole in the roof."
[14:59] <Sheena> "Roger," Dark Heart: I have a lock"
[14:59] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27 buster
[14:59] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 buster --> [ 1d20=11 ]{38}
[14:59] <Alathon> damage
[14:59] <Sheena> ROll 8d8+6
[14:59] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 8d8+6 --> [ 8d8=43 ]{49}
[15:00] <Alathon> Your beam of darkness easily cuts through the singled roof.
[15:00] <Alathon> Mercury flies down, with Yuuno following.
[15:00] * Sheena covers and flys in last
[15:00] * Reis soars in next.
[15:00] <Alathon> Mercury moves to the side a bit as she lands; the hole goes a few feet into the ground.
[15:01] <Alathon> (er reis, how do you give yuuno a hand when you have Mani to deal with?)
[15:02] <Mani> (If we're not going at high speeds, I can fly on my own.)
[15:02] <Reis> (She's a cat, and one who's not gonna claw me that easily, it takes one hand at worst.)
[15:02] <Alathon> (you were though.. I was assuming Reis was still handling Mani.. is Mani not along?)
[15:02] <Alathon> (nm
[15:02] <Alathon> (You said you brought mani)
[15:03] <Alathon> Alright.
[15:03] <Alathon> When you all land in the church, this one is much more ornate.
[15:03] <Alathon> Except for the whole busted roof thing, and the crater in the floor.
[15:03] <Alathon> Mercury quickly advances to teh Cross, then turns.
[15:03] * Reis looks around at the place, may as well see what it's like in there.
[15:03] <Alathon> Mercury: "Mani, drain this one repeatedly until I say stop, please."
[15:03] * Mani takes human form again.
[15:04] * Mani steps up to it and proceeds to do so.
[15:04] <Alathon> Mercury won't stop you after the first couple dozen slashes..
[15:04] <Alathon> Mercury: "You are making progress; continue."
[15:05] * Reis keeps an eye out for anyone coming in, staying on high alert.
[15:05] <Mani> "Not as dense now."
[15:05] <Alathon> After several hundred slashes, Mercury speaks up.
[15:05] <Alathon> Mercury: "Stop."
[15:06] * Mani stops and steps back.
[15:06] <Alathon> Mercury hands another charge to Kuonji.
[15:06] <Alathon> Mercury: "Place the charge, then follow me."
[15:06] * Kuonji nods and gets to it
[15:06] <Alathon> She procedes to the side of teh church and makes herself another exit.
[15:06] <Alathon> Yuuno follows her.
[15:06] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+9
[15:06] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{11}
[15:06] <Kuonji> (-_-)
[15:06] <Alathon> Your first attempt fails.
[15:06] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+9
[15:06] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{27}
[15:06] <Alathon> On the second one, you get the loop over the top.
[15:06] <Kuonji> "Arms must still be a little sore from being carried."
[15:06] * Sheena waits to take the rear
[15:07] * Reis heads over to Merc's exit, waiting for Sakura and the others to arrive.
[15:07] <Kuonji> "Alright, setting charge... now. Let's go.
[15:07] * Mani stays by Mercury.
[15:07] * Kuonji sets the timer, pulls it up, and books it with the others
[15:07] <Alathon> She leads you all outside and away from the church.
[15:07] * Reis heads out.
[15:07] <Alathon> Fortunately, it occupies a substantial plot of land, so you have space.
[15:07] <Alathon> and soon enough.. the charge goes off.
[15:08] * Reis watches.
[15:08] <Alathon> The detonation blows out the back of the church again.
[15:08] <Alathon> This time, there's no obvious cross structure remaining, just falling debris.
[15:08] <Sheena> "That was a much weaker release
[15:08] <Alathon> Mercury: "It is destroyed."
[15:08] <Alathon> Mercury: "Teleport in five."
[15:08] * Reis nods. "I guess now we know what happens to the energy..."
[15:09] * Mani smiles.
[15:09] * Reis preps for teleport.
[15:09] <Alathon> Five seconds later, you're all on the telepad.
[15:09] <Kuonji> "Least I won't get left behind this time."
[15:09] <Alathon> Mercury looks over at Kuonji, and actually looks a little chagrined.
[15:09] <Alathon> Mercury: "My appologies, Sakura."
[15:09] * Reis flushes. "I'm sorry..."
[15:10] <Alathon> Mercury: "I was not thinking."
[15:10] * Kuonji grins "No harm, no foul."
[15:10] <Alathon> Mercury: "... that said, this mission is completed. Thank you all for your assistance."
[15:10] * Sheena nods
[15:11] <Kuonji> "Happy to be of service mercury-sama."
[15:11] <Alathon> Mercury turns, and leaves the telepad, then the room.
[15:11] * Reis nods. "You're welcome, ma'am."
[15:11] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... so.. I guess you're all gonna head to the Bar now?"
[15:11] <Mani> "Sorry about that, too, Sakura."
[15:11] <Sheena> "We gota figer out how she did that tragerting system reis.."
[15:11] <Mani> (Was that established, or do I need to check in with Usagi first?)
[15:12] <Alathon> (I think you said you'd do it after the mission, but didn't establish a timetable or antything. She was half asleep and just said 'ok, that works')
[15:12] <Sheena> "Boss seemed worried, we shoudl check in before going'
[15:12] * Mani calls her.
[15:12] <Kuonji> (it still cracks me up how tight she was holding on to sakura, and then the little goodbye squeeze XD)
[15:12] * Reis purses her lips. "Honestly, the bigger deal would be managing to see it through the walls..."
[15:13] <Kuonji> (is unison sakura going to be the new CT mascot?)
[15:13] <Alathon> Usagi is available.
[15:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "Are you all okay>?"
[15:13] <Alathon> (She's speaking through Mani's comm)
[15:14] <Mani> "Yes, no fighting to speak of, and we got some useful data."
[15:14] <Alathon> Usagi immediately looks relieved.
[15:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "Good."
[15:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "I take it you're planning to head over to the Bar now?"
[15:14] <Mani> "Yes, unless something's come up."
[15:15] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[15:15] <Alathon> Usagi: "Nothing that I know of."
[15:15] * Mani nods.
[15:15] <Alathon> Usagi: "As always, good luck, and be careful."
[15:15] <Mani> "Thank you. We will."
[15:16] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:16] <Alathon> Usagi then hangs up.
[15:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm gonna bail.. sorry."
[15:16] <Mani> "No problem, Yuun

Session 70 - part 2

[15:16] <Mani> "No problem, Yuuno. Everyone else up for this now?"
[15:16] <Kuonji> "I'm considering sitting the bar run out as well."
[15:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hmm?"
[15:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Worried about the TSA or something?"
[15:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "They weren't kidnappers..a t least, not in my time."
[15:18] <Kuonji> "Sure, but you know how the curse is, and remember what they said last time, there's always some powermad mage looking for a free boost."
[15:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "There is that.."
[15:18] * Reis frowns. "That's a point..."
[15:18] <Kuonji> "Why take risks, right? We're just going to check the mail drop, right?"
[15:19] <Reis> "Though, very few even know what unison devices are - an outright specialist in the matter had to do a concentrated database search for several minutes."
[15:19] <Kuonji> "He did imply we weren't the first to come asking though."
[15:20] * Sheena shurgs
[15:20] <Sheena> "If you want, i dont care'
[15:20] <Mani> "Well, I'm not sure there's too great a risk, but I won't force you to come along if you think it's better to stay here."
[15:21] <Alathon> (I'd like a yes/no soon)
[15:21] <Alathon> (because I need to end the game very soon)
[15:22] <Kuonji> "Thank you taichou, I think I'll sit this one out."
[15:22] * Mani nods.
[15:22] <Mani> "Ok. See you when we get back."
[15:22] * Mani looks at Sheena and Reis.
[15:23] <Mani> "Whenever you're ready."
[15:24] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@203-59-167-38.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[15:24] <Alathon> (which of you is doing it?)
[15:24] * Sheena holds out dark heart
[15:24] <Sheena> "Hang on"
[15:25] * Reis nods, and starts to do it, but then just shrugs when Sheena moves to.
[15:25] <Reis> "See you soon, Yuuno-sensei, Sakura-san."
[15:25] <Alathon> Yuuno steps off the telepad.
[15:25] <Sheena> (we reoll on this?)
[15:25] * Kuonji steps off with yuuno
[15:25] <Alathon> (yeah, wisdom bonus plus casting time bonus if you use it)
[15:26] <Alathon> okay
[15:26] <Alathon> this is taking too long
[15:26] <Alathon> End here.
[15:27] <Alathon> We'll pick up next week when you leave for the bar.
[15:27] <Alathon> I need to get showered up and out the door.
[15:27] <Sheena> Roger
[15:27] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[15:27] <Reis> (Right, see ya.)
[15:27] <Sheena> party to go to?
[15:27] <Ataru> later mang
[15:27] <Reis> (Sigh, was hoping to make it to the drama bomb :P )
[15:27] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[15:27] <Mani> Hmph. Oh, well.
[15:27] <Rockman_Zero> (Later man, and good morning all.)
[15:27] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[15:28] <Pale_Wolf> Xp?
[15:33] <Sheena> his in the shower all ready
[15:33] <Rockman_Zero> Heh.
[15:33] <Rockman_Zero> Well... I've watched T1 for the first time yesterday.
[15:34] <Rockman_Zero> That is, watched it for the first time, all the way through, uninterrupted. :P
[15:34] <Pale_Wolf> Heh, it sounded like you enjoyed it :P
[15:34] <Rockman_Zero> Man, poor Kyle. ;_;
[15:34] <Rockman_Zero> But yeah, I enjoyed it.
[15:35] <Rockman_Zero> And, heh... some of the special effects, you could see right through, but it didn't really detract from the film much. :P
[15:35] * Rockman_Zero wonders if he should include the hydrogen fuel cell as a weapon...
[15:35] <Rockman_Zero> Since it does work in the same manner as a backpack nuke. ;P
[15:37] <Pale_Wolf> Sure, you can always get a weapon with the Self-Destruct defect on it.
[15:37] <Pale_Wolf> But, that is rarely advisable, seeing as one doesn't often have multiple lives to bandy about.
[15:37] <Rockman_Zero> Heh
[15:49] <Yarrow> And by a series of strange events, we never will end up getting to the Bar again before the end of the campaign.
[15:50] <Rockman_Zero> Why would you wanna go there again?
[15:50] <Alathon> 2888 exp for the session

Session 71

Postby Alathon » Sun Apr 06, 2008 4:54 am

Session 71

[12:03] <Alathon> anyways
[12:04] <Alathon> we left off last week with the party having completed a 'live research' mission in the UST regarding the destructability of the UST Church's energy-storage artifacts
[12:04] <Alathon> After which Reis, Sheena, and Mani departed for Nanoha's.
[12:04] <Alathon> Yuuno and Sakura both chose to stay behind, citing concerns over their presence in the bar.
[12:05] <Alathon> Well.. sakura sited them; Yuuno just said she really didn't think it was a good idea.
[12:05] <Sheena> (we neeed to keep yuuno away from thoes blue drinks any way)
[12:05] <Alathon> (mmm.. romulan ale..)
[12:05] <Alathon> (now I want a Code Blue ;p )
[12:05] <Mani> (Yeah, right. We all know it was really Pepsi Blue. Ewwww.)
[12:06] <Alathon> (hah)
[12:06] <Alathon> We'll pick up with the lot of you on the telepad in the Bar.
[12:06] <Sheena> (damn, all i got is my ct light here..)
[12:06] <Alathon> Or rather, on one of them. It's in an enourmous chamber sized to fit.. well.. dragons, maybe? Or perhaps starships.
[12:06] * Sheena looks around the area
[12:06] <Alathon> There's nobody else in your chosen telepad.
[12:07] <Reis> (Ryo-ohki is a common visitor)
[12:07] <Sheena> "We should clear the pad before a planet decides to stop by for a drink
[12:07] <Mani> "Hm. Empty."
[12:07] * Mani moves off the pad and to the Bar.
[12:07] * Sheena follows along
[12:07] * Reis nods. "I guess they have a landing distribution setup or something so nobody comes onto an occupied one..."
[12:08] * Reis follows the others.
[12:08] <Mani> "Let's not test that."
[12:08] * Mani smiles.
[12:08] <Alathon> (if you want theme music for the bar, I recommend A Perfect Circle)
[12:08] <Sheena> "Dont seem like the place to care if any one was to stuiped to clear off the incoming pad"
[12:09] <Mani> (I'll be sticking with "On the Good Ship Lollipop", thank you very much.)
[12:09] <Sheena> (eh.. igot Sympathy For The Devil playing
[12:10] <Mani> (Actually, I have nothing. I don't like having music playing during games.)
[12:11] <Alathon> A spaceship hasn't landed on the party yet, but Sheena's point might still be valid.
[12:11] <Mani> (Yeah... that's why we started moving about 4 minutes ago.)
[12:13] <Alathon> *nod*
[12:14] <Alathon> Anyways, it'll take a few minutes to reach the exit of teh chamber, but you will without incident.
[12:14] <Mani> (Whew. I was starting to wonder if there was some sort of silent one way netsplit going on.)
[12:14] <Reis> (I've had a number of those. Quite annoying.)
[12:14] <Alathon> When you leave it, you'll find the hallway much as you last saw it.
[12:15] * Mani proceeds to the entrance.
[12:15] <Alathon> Enormous, long, and sparsely populated with a wide variety of bipedal, quadripedal, floating, and other beings.
[12:15] <Alathon> The bipeds are in the clear majority, though.
[12:15] * Reis continues along, looking around at everyone again.
[12:15] * Sheena pushs up her shades some and follows along
[12:16] <Alathon> You'll see Star Trek races, Star Wars races... etc.
[12:17] <Alathon> They tend to move in clumps of the same race, and everyone keeps their distance.
[12:17] <Ataru> (well, I'm irritated)
[12:17] <Reis> (Hm? Yo Ataru.)
[12:17] <Ataru> (I just slept through what I had to do today)
[12:17] <Ataru> (fuck)
[12:17] <Reis> (Gah.)
[12:18] <Mani> (The Pak'ma'ra have an especially large space around them.)
[12:18] <Mani> (And that sucks, Ataru.)
[12:18] <Ataru> (my roommate showed up last night wasted with a bunch of drunk people, it kinda kept me up)
[12:18] <Sheena> (sounds like your roooming with my brother,)
[12:19] <Alathon> (you can't go late?)
[12:20] <Ataru> (nope)
[12:20] <Ataru> (1-3 pm)
[12:20] <Ataru> (it was a study session for the midterm I have tuesday)
[12:21] <Reis> (Bleh. Owie.)
[12:22] <Alathon> (sucks)
[12:22] <Alathon> Anyways
[12:22] <Alathon> Do any of you want to do anything / talk about anything on the way to the entrance?
[12:22] <Reis> (Hm... don't think Reis has anything she wants to bring up.)
[12:22] <Mani> (Nope.)
[12:23] <Alathon> Alright.
[12:24] <Alathon> After a good long walk, you'll come up to the entrance. As before, there are many sets of doors, with a huge sign reading Nanoha's above them.
[12:24] <Alathon> When you walk through, as before, you feel an unpleasant tug.
[12:24] <Alathon> -1 temporary con loss
[12:24] <Sheena> (not much any of us woudl talk about in mixed groups like that)
[12:24] * Reis winces.
[12:24] <Reis> (Indeed.)
[12:24] <Alathon> And you're in the lobby. What do you want to do?
[12:25] * Sheena shakes it off and hmms to herself as she thinks on something
[12:25] <Mani> "Powerful."
[12:25] <Mani> "Well, let's check our messages first."
[12:25] * Reis glances at Mani. "Trying to resist it, Mani-san?"
[12:25] <Mani> "No, that would be ... imprudent."
[12:26] * Reis takes the PDA and starts looking for one of the tables with a linkup to the network.
[12:27] * Mani trails along behind Reis, looking around.
[12:27] <Sheena> "Ya, guess it woudl seem rude to skip out on the cover charge"
[12:28] <Alathon> It'll be easy enough to find your way to some eatery, or even just open court, where you can sit down in semi-privacy and log on to the 'net.
[12:29] <Sheena> "All tho now im rethinking that idea about draining thoes crosses insted of disburseing them"
[12:29] <Mani> "Instead of what? No, let's not talk about them at all here."
[12:29] * Reis finds a free table for the group, pulls out the PDA, and hooks it in to log on.
[12:32] <Alathon> If I recall, there were two particular mercenary organizations you made requests-for-contact to.
[12:32] <Alathon> The Skybolts and Executive Outcomes.
[12:32] * Reis presumably logs onto the network without too much trouble, and finds the inbox.
[12:32] <Reis> (And the TSA for Midchilda's address.)
[12:32] <Mani> ("You have 12,019,124 new messages!")
[12:32] <Alathon> (ahh yeah, forgot that.)
[12:32] <Alathon> (and heh, you forgot to enable the spam filters befoer logging on didn't you ;p )
[12:33] <Alathon> (..do you have antivirus? ;p )
[12:33] <Mani> (>Filter messages. "You have no messages.")
[12:33] <Alathon> So, three requests.
[12:33] <Alathon> You've got two responses.
[12:33] <Alathon> the Skybolts don't seem to be answering their mail.
[12:34] <Alathon> Or maybe they're just slow, or all deployed, or something.. but either way, nothing from them.
[12:34] * Reis frowns. "Hm... wonder what's up there?"
[12:34] * Reis opens up the other two.
[12:34] <Alathon> One is from the Midchildan authorities you contacted.
[12:35] <Alathon> It looks to be a whole lot of boilerplate, and includes a LOT of links to some Midchildan netsites.
[12:35] <Alathon> Mostly, it's rules, regulations, laws, customs, ettiquette..
[12:35] <Alathon> A few more substantial things, like climate and atmospheric information.
[12:36] <Reis> (Boilerplate?)
[12:36] * Reis saves those links for the moment, and opens up the EO message.
[12:36] <Alathon> (standard official text that doesn't get edited for a specific target)
[12:37] <Reis> (Ah, roger.)
[12:37] <Alathon> (After seeing it for a while, it's pretty easy to pick out by it's generic-ness and mode of speech)
[12:37] <Alathon> (Even in a foreign language ;p )
[12:37] <Reis> (Apparently my worry isn't much trouble, then. I was afraid we'd have some problems by reporting our allegiance :P )
[12:38] <Mani> (Don't be so sure we're beyond that.)
[12:38] * Sheena keeps an eye on the area as reis gets the info
[12:38] <Alathon> *nod*
[12:38] <Alathon> Anyways
[12:39] <Reis> "We don't seem to have a response from the Skybolts, but there is something from the TSA, we can go over it in a moment."
[12:39] <Alathon> the gist of the document is that each person who wants a via needs to go through a bunch of sites, enter information, affirm that they'll obey the law, etc etc
[12:39] <Alathon> er
[12:39] <Alathon> *visa
[12:40] <Alathon> It looks like it'll be a few hours worth of paper pushing for each, and maybe some scientific research, since they want biological information (in case of medical emergency)
[12:40] <Mani> (See. Plenty of time for them to hassle us. :) )
[12:41] * Reis purses her lips. "I guess we'll have to check the information sites and the details on all the paperwork, and there are a few more things we'll have to clear first... May as well download what we can of the legal code to peruse it before swearing that we'll obey it."
[12:42] <Mani> "Definitely."
[12:42] <Alathon> If you visit the sites, y ou'll find that they have downloadable info templates, so you can either answer online, or fill them out offline and submit them.
[12:43] <Alathon> There's also a note stating that the Midchildan Interdimensional Transit Authority appologizes for not being able to accept hardcopy applications.
[12:44] <Reis> Handy. Reis'll download what she can, what looks like a good cross-section of the information in as much detail as possible and the various paperwork that needs to be filled out.
[12:44] <Alathon> Anyways.. do you wanna investigate this further now, or move on to the next message?
[12:44] * Reis blinks. "Can't accept hardcopy? Hm... I guess it's harder to index, with the numbers they must be dealing with."
[12:45] <Reis> Not in too much detail yet, just get the most immediately available pages and save them to the PDA without reading in detail.
[12:47] <Alathon> alright, moving on to the next message, from Executive Outcomes.
[12:47] <Alathon> It's short and to the point: EO was on contract, however the terms of that contract were violated by their employer.
[12:48] <Sheena> "anything interesting yet?"
[12:48] <Ataru> (dun dun dunnn)
[12:48] * Reis blinks. "... Contract was violated by the employer? What did they do?"
[12:48] <Alathon> EO is interested in negotiating the release of any and all prisoners-of-war, and is willing to pay in SLUs, precious metals, or information.
[12:48] <Alathon> They didn't say.
[12:48] <Reis> (Yeah, that was just a comment out loud :P )
[12:48] <Mani> "Hm?"
[12:49] * Mani is looking at the surroundings, rather than the screen.
[12:49] * Reis turns the PDA screen to the others. "Apparently EO has had their contract violated by the employer."
[12:49] <Alathon> Since nobody specified, I'll assume you picked the nearest place that serves human-edible food.
[12:50] <Alathon> so you're in a court near a taco stand.
[12:50] <Alathon> The relative luxury of the seating appointments contrast sharply with the well-used condition of the taco stand.
[12:50] <Reis> (Heh. All righty.)
[12:50] <Mani> "Interesting. How long did it take them to respond to our inquiry, by the way?"
[12:50] <Sheena> (we have taco's in ct?)
[12:50] <Alathon> (um... hm)
[12:50] <Alathon> roll 1d2
[12:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=2 ]{2}
[12:51] <Alathon> (nope, somewhere along the way they got lost. probably because they suck with chicken instead of beef)
[12:51] * Reis checks the timestamp on the message. Roughly how long was it?
[12:51] <Sheena> (roger that, take out time)
[12:51] <Alathon> Looks like it was less than forty-eight hours after you sent the original request for information.
[12:52] <Reis> "Less than two days. Not too bad, but it's definitely for the best that we didn't stay and wait."
[12:53] <Sheena> "Fast, i guess since the contract falted they want any one left back'
[12:53] * Mani nods.
[12:53] <Mani> "Ok, so we should expect response time within a few days. Good to know."
[12:54] * Mani lets Reis get back to her work.
[12:55] * Reis saves the message. "Okay... I guess the next thing we'll do in this regard is to take it back to Usagi-san so she can think up a price?"
[12:56] <Mani> "Or negotiate further, yes."
[12:56] <Sheena> "Should we reply saying well be in touch for negotations?"
[12:57] <Mani> "I don't think there's a need. Do they see when we've read their message, by the way?"
[12:57] * Reis purses her lips, and checks if there's a way to see that.
[12:58] <Alathon> There doesn't seem to be an obvious 'notify-on-read' setting
[12:58] <Alathon> however that doesn't rule out there being something like that server-side
[12:58] <Alathon> though again, you haven't seen any indication that other peoples' connection records are publicly available
[12:58] <Alathon> ... which of course doesn't preclude them being stolen or purchased
[12:59] * Reis shakes her head. "I can't be sure. If they can, I don't know how to activate the function."
[12:59] <Alathon> so.. the answer is no, but they could know ;p
[12:59] <Mani> "Ok."
[12:59] <Reis> "Send a reply so they at least know there's someone on the other end?"
[13:00] <Mani> "Mm, I don't think that's necessary."
[13:01] * Reis nods. "All right then... Some more research on the Midchilda links I guess... anything else?"
[13:01] <Mani> "Yes. See if you can find the original ad that got all the mercenaries."
[13:02] <Sheena> "good idea, we can find out who made the add they replyed to"
[13:03] * Reis purses her lips, starting to look for just such an ad in the network. "It'll probably need some fairly specific details... there are probably millions of ads for mercenaries every day."
[13:03] * Reis first uses our world's address as a search parameter - if there was any mention of the specific one.
[13:05] * Reis looks up while it searches. "Do either of you know the specific wording on the ad? If they didn't outright state the address in the advertisement, I don't think it'll be possible to find it easily."
[13:05] <Alathon> No luck.
[13:05] <Reis> (Didn't think so. Three billion hits?)
[13:05] <Sheena> "Why dont we look for adds with our dim location in them?"
[13:05] <Alathon> lots of noise, no signal
[13:06] <Alathon> hmm.. computer use roll, reis
[13:06] <Alathon> actually
[13:06] <Reis> roll 1d20+26
[13:06] <Alathon> no
[13:06] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{35}
[13:06] <Alathon> research
[13:06] <Alathon> so.. 9+ int?
[13:06] <Reis> (Roger)
[13:06] <Alathon> It's still enough
[13:06] <Reis> (Just a sec, actually)
[13:06] <Reis> (There we go, Research mod is +15)
[13:07] <Reis> (So, 24)
[13:10] <Reis> (Ala? PM?)

[13:10] * Set by Alathon on Fri Apr 04 18:11:27
[13:10] <Reis> (Still here in the dicebot?)
[13:10] <Alathon> (lovely)
[13:10] <Alathon> (sigh)
[13:10] <Reis> (Welcome back Ala)
[13:11] * AlaBot (~nlennig@c-67-170-72-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) Quit (eraniss.tx.us.lunarnet.org castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org)
[13:11] * Ataru (~Pervert@c-76-119-239-12.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) Quit (eraniss.tx.us.lunarnet.org castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org)
[13:11] * Mani (~opera@lunarnet-6FCB8404.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (eraniss.tx.us.lunarnet.org castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org)
[13:11] <Alathon> oy vey
[13:11] <Reis> ...
[13:11] <Reis> Well, I was just about to post, but I guess not.
[13:12] * AlaBot (~nlennig@c-67-170-72-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:12] * Ataru (~Pervert@c-76-119-239-12.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:12] * Mani (~opera@lunarnet-6FCB8404.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:12] <Mani> (Well.)
[13:12] <Ataru> heh
[13:12] <Reis> (Didn't miss anything)
[13:12] * Reis purses her lips. "There's another source, too - basically just notes posted in a hallway in the bar. So there's a chance it's not on the network, but on the boards."
[13:12] * Reis searches to see, in particular, WHICH hallway.
[13:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20 test
[13:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20 test --> [ 1d20=3 ]{3}
[13:13] <Alathon> (yeesh)
[13:13] <Sheena> "So we check both
[13:13] <Alathon> You can find directions easily enough
[13:13] <Reis> (... Not one roll's broken ten this session.)
[13:13] <Alathon> there are halls for posting.. well.. everything
[13:14] <Alathon> every category on craigslist, plus the ones that'd be really illegal if they were on craigslist
[13:14] <Alathon> and then all the ones that don't serve a recognized purpose
[13:14] <Reis> (Heh. Is there a specific 'mercenary action' one?)
[13:14] <Alathon> there are several
[13:15] <Alathon> one's 'general', one's 'single target', one's 'small target', one's 'bonded company', ...
[13:15] <Alathon> and so on
[13:15] <Reis> (All righty, Reis will get the directions to all the ones the mercenary boards mention.)
[13:15] * Reis sighs, nodding and finding the directions to commit them to memory. "Yeah... hopefully the boards will have few enough posts to actually search through them. I think we have a million or more hits on the network... far too much to work with."
[13:16] <Sheena> "A millon or so hits with our dim adress?"
[13:16] <Reis> (Well, I looked up with the dim address right at the start - any luck with that one, Ala?)
[13:16] <Sheena> (or was my idea ust ingored?)
[13:17] <Reis> (I presumed since you said nothing it wasn't)
[13:17] <Reis> (It might've been. Twice, both when I suggested it and then when Ala did :P )
[13:18] <Alathon> No, there was no bounty for your address
[13:18] <Alathon> in fact, there's very little that comes up with your address
[13:18] <Alathon> some of the sites taht come up look totally unrelated (typoes in the address?)
[13:18] <Alathon> one's a porn site
[13:19] <Ataru> (lol)
[13:19] <Ataru> (is it sheena and whatserface?)
[13:19] <Alathon> the only legit sites seem to be anti-Senshi information/hate sites, which include your dimension's coordinates on lists of dimensions known to contain Sailor Senshi
[13:19] <Alathon> No, it's not sheena ;p
[13:19] <Alathon> "it" is in fact "its"
[13:19] <Reis> (... There's porn from our dim address? O_o )
[13:19] * Reis idly checks the non-mercenary ones.
[13:19] <Reis> (Heh, gotcha.)
[13:19] <Reis> (Tsukasa?)
[13:19] <Mani> (<dim. cord>ians Gone Wild!)
[13:21] <Sheena> (so sheena dont find a pic from training she gave tsuka? )
[13:21] <Alathon> nope
[13:21] <Reis> "No... zero with our address. I guess the mercenaries contact the employer and get the address directly, not on the public network."
[13:21] <Alathon> no tsukasa porn, no sheena porn.. no reis or mani porn, or even sakura porn
[13:22] <Alathon> at least, not when searching for your dimensional address
[13:22] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:22] <Reis> (No, I am NOT searching for our own names.)
[13:22] <Reis> (Reis's brain would break if she found porn of herself.)
[13:23] <Mani> (Of yourself with yourself.)
[13:23] <Sheena> (good thing sheena dont have the pda then)
[13:23] <Ataru> (Tsukasa and Reis?)
[13:23] <Sheena> "Darn"
[13:23] <Sheena> "And it any one else getting hungry from that smell?"
[13:25] * Reis sighs. "We'll have to check the boards, I think... Go do it?"
[13:25] <Mani> "Not really, Sheena. And, yes, Reis. Unless anyone can think of something else for us to look up on the network?"
[13:27] * Reis purses her lips. "Not right now, I don't think..."
[13:28] <Alathon> Alright
[13:28] <Alathon> You can find your way to any of the halls easily enough
[13:28] <Alathon> which do you choose?
[13:28] <Reis> (What're the categories?)
[13:29] <Reis> (Which one seems closest to what's going on back home?)
[13:30] <Alathon> 'general' is a catch-all, and 'bonded company' describes Executive Outcomes at least
[13:30] <Alathon> there's no "pillage and rape" category, or "terror for hire"
[13:30] <Mani> ("Dirty deeds done dirt cheap"?)
[13:30] <Reis> (Heh. Right... Bonded first, then.)
[13:31] <Reis> (We've got at least two bonded companies that responded, after all.)
[13:31] <Alathon> alright
[13:32] <Alathon> I don't think a navigate roll is necessary to get there... but when you do, you'll find that the 'hall' is not dissimilar from the telepad in scope
[13:32] <Alathon> it's friggin huge
[13:32] <Alathon> there are various beings moving around looking at the 'notes'
[13:32] * Reis winces.
[13:32] <Reis> "... Was afraid of that."
[13:33] <Alathon> which are posted in a variety of materials, including paper, fabric, plasticy sheet, hide, holograms, illusions..
[13:33] <Alathon> Reis and Sheena t least can tell the difference between the holograms and illusions ;p
[13:33] <Alathon> so
[13:33] * Mani looks around to see if there's some sort of index or organization to them.
[13:33] <Alathon> There is none
[13:33] <Alathon> at least.. none that springs out
[13:34] <Alathon> anyways
[13:34] <Alathon> everyone, roll the highest of your spot and research
[13:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[13:34] <Alathon> I'm assuming you all split up and start looking
[13:34] * Alathon slaps AlaBot around a bit with a large trout
[13:34] <Alathon> sigh, one sec
[13:35] <Mani> (That would be kind of funny. *boing* "Aaah!")
[13:35] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{36}
[13:35] <Mani> (Should the rest of us bother? :) )
[13:35] <Reis> (YEAH baby!)
[13:35] <Reis> (Apparently praying to a slow dicebot works.)
[13:35] <Alathon> I suppose not
[13:36] <Alathon> everyone heads off in generally different directions, and..
[13:36] * Reis frowns, closing her eyes for a while, breathing deeply.
[13:36] * Reis opens her eyes, looking blank, and briskly walks over to a specific announcement.
[13:37] * Reis blinks slightly, and examines it.
[13:38] * AlaBot (~nlennig@c-67-170-72-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) Quit (eraniss.tx.us.lunarnet.org castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org)
[13:38] * Ataru (~Pervert@c-76-119-239-12.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) Quit (eraniss.tx.us.lunarnet.org castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org)
[13:38] * Mani (~opera@lunarnet-6FCB8404.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (eraniss.tx.us.lunarnet.org castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org)
[13:38] <Reis> (... Heh.)
[13:38] <Sheena> (smooth move reis)
[13:38] * AlaBot (~nlennig@c-67-170-72-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:38] * Ataru (~Pervert@c-76-119-239-12.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:38] * Mani (~opera@lunarnet-6FCB8404.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:38] <Mani> (Suddenly the dimension collapses--more--)
[13:39] <Reis> (Heh.)
[13:39] <Reis> (So, what do I see?)
[13:41] <Reis> (... Now taking bets on Alathon being peered.)
[13:41] <Reis> (Starting at 1 SLU.)
[13:41] * Sheena (~PyroRaven@c-67-175-121-142.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[13:41] <Mani> (Looks like you bet on the wrong user.)
[13:41] * DCG (~PyroRaven@c-67-175-121-142.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:42] <Reis> (... I'm still not dropping that bet.)
[13:42] <DCG> huh.. guess it was my turn.
[13:42] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[13:42] <Reis> (Though I'll just boggle if I turn out to win it.)
[13:42] <Mani> (I'll bet he went off to make a drink. :) )
[13:43] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:43] <Reis> (We've got one bet on peer, one bet on booze! Anyone else?)
[13:44] <Alathon> (sadly, a tea)
[13:44] <Alathon> (trying to drop a few pounds for the summer, so no beer for me :( )
[13:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20 test
[13:45] <Alathon> Le Sigh
[13:45] <Mani> (I win!)
[13:45] <Reis> (Darn. ... But, yeah, Mani wins. Two SLUs, enjoy 'em!)
[13:45] <Sheena> (i got my bottle of ct light here)
[13:45] <Sheena> (Lemmonade this time)
[13:45] <Ataru> (ct light?)
[13:45] <Sheena> (crystal light)
[13:45] <Reis> (I've got like four store-bought pies nearby. I actually have to get up to snag drinks though.)
[13:45] <Sheena> (fancy coolade)
[13:45] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20 test --> [ 1d20=15 ]{15}
[13:45] <Mani> (Or in this case, Crystal Tokyo Light.)
[13:45] <Reis> (Heh.)
[13:45] <Reis> (So, where were we? :P )
[13:45] <Sheena> (so what did resis crit get us)
[13:46] <Mani> (Besides a netsplit.)
[13:46] <Reis> (My divination was so powerful it sundered the server.)
[13:49] <Alathon> Reis found the right notice; she can describe it.
[13:49] * Reis calls out lightly to the others. "I think I've got it."
[13:49] * Mani comes over and raises an eyebrow.
[13:49] <Mani> "So, it's to the casino level after this?"
[13:50] * Reis chuckles nervously. "I'll need to work this a little bit before I tried that... I'm just glad it worked this time."
[13:50] <Reis> "Um... employer's apparently the UST, contact is David Addington - we were right on that one."
[13:51] * Mani looks at the note.
[13:51] <Alathon> It's made of paper, and is handwritten
[13:52] <Alathon> The penmanship is solid.
[13:52] * Mani reads it, rather than making Reis read the whole thing outloud.
[13:53] <Sheena> "How did that guy learn of this place, let alone get the idea to hire on "
[13:53] * Mani shrugs.\
[13:53] * Reis purses her lips. "We'd probably need to ask someone in the Evangelists... Can't really ask him."
[13:54] <Mani> "Could have just been a wild talent for dimension travelling from one of their people, like Tsukasa has."
[13:55] * Reis kind of jolts at hearing that one.
[13:56] <Mani> (I would really like to hear the text of the note, from either Reis of Alathon...)
[13:57] <Reis> (I never actually recieved the full text of it. Gimme a sec)
[13:57] <Reis> <Alathon> its mostly in generic terms, but explains that the employer is one nation, and their targets are neighboring nations, low tech and moderate magic capabilities
[13:57] <Reis> <Alathon> needed mainly for support and specific large scale interventions, rather than as a long term ground force
[13:57] <Reis> <Alathon> Contact is one David Addington
[13:57] <Reis> [22:49] <Ami> Request for mercenary work.. short term (less than a century).. payment in life force..
[13:57] <Reis> [22:51] <Ami> Work is described as military support and psychological warfare.
[13:58] <Reis> (And now you know about as much as I do.)
[13:58] <Ataru> (where's the bit about people into sick shit more then welcome to apply?)
[13:58] <Mani> (Different board. ;) )
[13:58] <Reis> (There's nothing outright written.)
[14:00] <Mani> "Hm. I guess us being involved could possibly count as violating those terms."
[14:00] <Mani> "Or it could have just been the employers being their charming selves."
[14:01] * Reis chuckles slightly. "Definitely possible."
[14:02] <Mani> "Anyway, nice job finding this so quickly, Reis."
[14:03] <Mani> "Anything else we should do here before heading home?"
[14:03] * Reis nods. "Yeah... I think I'll have to practice that more..."
[14:03] * Mani looks at both Sheena & Reis when asking that.
[14:03] <Mani> (What? Rolling 20s?)
[14:03] <Reis> (I rolled a 20, but used an innate ability as an excuse :P )
[14:03] <Mani> (Blind luck would have been funnier. :) )
[14:04] * Reis purses her lips. "Nothing specific... I don't remember, did you get clearance to buy the enchantments on your swords?"
[14:04] <Mani> ("*sigh* We'll never find it in here..." *leans against wall the note*)
[14:04] * Mani shakes her head.
[14:04] <Reis> (Heheh. That would've been hilarious too.)
[14:05] <Mani> "Nope. I figure we can look around a little bit--if we can think of anything worth looking at."
[14:05] <Sheena> "We dont havce nearly enought vreds for anything really good"
[14:06] <Sheena> *creds
[14:07] <Mani> "Nothing? Ok, let's head home, then."
[14:07] <Sheena> (what is our cred count any way?)
[14:07] <Mani> "You got all the forms we'll need, Reis?"
[14:07] <Mani> (We have life force equivalent to a halfling and a half.)
[14:07] <Alathon> (I'd have to go check, it's written down somewhere)
[14:08] * Reis nods. "Yeah, I've saved all the links the message gave us."
[14:08] * Mani snaps a picture of the note.
[14:08] * Mani nods.
[14:09] * Mani starts heading back to the telepads.
[14:09] * Reis follows.
[14:10] * Sheena follows along as well, making a mental note about thoes taco things
[14:11] <Alathon> You'll all reach the telepads without incidence after a good 20+ minutes of walking.
[14:11] <Alathon> You can return home at will.
[14:12] <Mani> "Whenever you two sort out who's handling the ride, go ahead."
[14:12] <Reis> "I'll take this one."
[14:12] <Sheena> (no drama bomb?)
[14:12] * Sheena nods
[14:12] <Reis> (I'm kinda curious about that one too.)
[14:12] * Reis braces, a triangle spinning underneath her.
[14:12] <Reis> (Wis roll?)
[14:12] <Sheena> (not enought beer for al i guess, heh)
[14:13] <Mani> (You're not supposed to ask that until we're back home. :) )
[14:13] <Reis> (Heh. I figured I'd give him time to give us our drama bomb, there are a few milliseconds left :P )
[14:13] <Reis> roll 1d20+5 Wis roll need to be done?
[14:13] <Mani> (Assuming the teleport isn't blocked.)
[14:13] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+5 Wis roll need to be done? --> [ 1d20=3 ]{8}
[14:14] <Reis> ...
[14:14] <Reis> (Not. One. Word. Please.)
[14:14] <Alathon> Your attempt fails.
[14:14] <Reis> (... Though if I'd critfailed it, maybe we'd find our drama bomb.)
[14:14] <Alathon> fortunately, it's not a botch, so you don't do something terrible and fatal to yourself ;p
[14:15] * Reis licks her lips, and the triangle appears again.
[14:15] * Mani doesn't comment on the triangle briefly appearing then fading.
[14:15] <Reis> roll 1d20+5
[14:15] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{16}
[14:16] <Mani> (Of course, a botch could have landed us all in a different CT. ;) )
[14:16] <Ataru> (or china)
[14:17] <Ataru> (also, yeah al, what happened to the dramabomb?)
[14:17] <Mani> (In DCG's game. :) )
[14:17] <Reis> (Heh. DCG's game? Bah, why not be ambitious? It sends us to the PAST.)
[14:18] <Reis> (Seriously, critfailed teleports and dim hops are the stuff story arcs are made of :P )
[14:18] <Alathon> Anyways, you're back.
[14:18] <Alathon> The telepad in Espionage HQ is, unsurprisingly, empty.
[14:18] * Mani leads the team off the pad and calls in their return.
[14:18] * Reis exhales as they arrive, the lights vanishing.
[14:18] * Reis follows Mani.
[14:19] * Sheena slides her staff into place on her back and follows mani as well
[14:20] <Sheena> "That didnt take long at all, Wouldnt be a bad place to visite if i can figer out a way to recover the door drain"
[14:20] <Alathon> (You haven't even visited the nightclubs and other pickup spots, either!)
[14:20] <Mani> "I may have something for that eventually."
[14:20] <Mani> (Not much point without our own money and no good way to replenish our current funds.)
[14:21] <Alathon> (sure there is.. you get them to pay for your bill ;p )
[14:21] <Reis> (I'm not sure I dare ask how one does that.)
[14:21] <Sheena> (bwahahah)
[14:22] <Alathon> (charm, wit, raw physical magnetism..?)
[14:22] <Mani> (Any answer? Do I end up just leaving a message? Are we given new orders?)
[14:22] <Reis> (It's Sheena. Last one.)
[14:22] <Reis> "Hm... something to handle the drain would definitely help. I don't know, though..."
[14:23] <Mani> "And keep in mind, we have no spending money."
[14:24] <Mani> "Ok, Usagi would like to meet us at <gives time a about an hour away> in <location> to go over our findings. It will be catered."
[14:25] * Reis shakes herself, and nods. "All right... free until then, I guess?"
[14:25] <Sheena> "Good, bit hungry from the magical drain this moring"
[14:25] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[14:26] <Mani> "Yep."
[14:27] * Reis purses her lips. "There are a few things I wanted to cover, though I don't know if that's quite enough time..."
[14:27] <Mani> "Hm?"
[14:28] * Reis blinks and looks up. "Oh, some things I was hoping to manage in the lab."
[14:28] <Mani> "Ah, I see. Well, just don't rush things and blow up that section of the city."
[14:28] * Mani grins slightly.
[14:29] <Sheena> "Havnt done it yet"
[14:29] * Reis nods firmly. "Don't worry, there's no antimatter involved, and the magical detonations could level a room at worst."
[14:30] * Sheena bahs
[14:30] * Mani comms the meeting info to Sakura & Yuuno.
[14:30] <Sheena> "So boring, im going to wash up and soak for a bit ill meet you at the where the boss said"
[14:30] <Mani> "Yeah, a shower sounds good. Don't know about immersing myself in a tub of water, though..."
[14:30] * Mani makes a face.
[14:31] * Mani goes home until the meeting.
[14:32] * Reis looks down at herself, nodding. "Yeah... just been on a mission, I suppose I should."
[14:32] <Alathon> Alright
[14:33] <Alathon> Assume everyone does their thing, and meets back up at the scheduled meeting?
[14:33] <Reis> Yuppers.
[14:33] <Mani> Yep.
[14:34] * Sheena did say where she was headed to wash up and soak.. shows up dressed in.. *what ever the hell al described celeste are getting weaks ago..*
[14:34] <Sheena> ( i totaly forgot myself)
[14:34] <Alathon> She got an apartment
[14:34] <Alathon> a good distance from any official building ;p
[14:34] <Sheena> (ment the shoping spree)
[14:34] <Alathon> (oooh)
[14:35] <Alathon> (misread)
[14:35] <Mani> (Sheena shows up dressed in an apartment. :) )
[14:35] <Sheena> (you prased the outcome in a uniqe way, and i forgot it)
[14:35] <Alathon> (She bought you a lot of stuff, almost all of it black, grey, or white. A few dark greens and deep blues, but almost entirely monochrome)
[14:35] <Alathon> (aside from all the lingerie, there was a fair bit of semi-formal dressware)
[14:35] <Alathon> (wear)
[14:35] * Reis is a little rumpled, but putting herself back in order as she heads in to the meeting.
[14:35] <Mani> (Are we expected to arrive in uniform, btw, or is it casual?)
[14:35] <Alathon> (She didn't specify either way)
[14:36] <Mani> (Well, I'd think we'd know, in general, by now.)
[14:36] <Alathon> (rather, Usagi did't specify either way)
[14:36] <Alathon> (you should)
[14:36] <Alathon> (you've been to like 30 of these)
[14:36] <Reis> (Heh. Uniform, then?)
[14:38] <Alathon> ...
[14:39] <Sheena> (we've had on the clock, and off the clock like metttings0
[14:39] <Sheena> (anyy way i guess sheena show up in something semiformal and well cut)
[14:41] * Sheena ping?
[14:41] <Mani> (I see you.)
[14:41] * Reis will be dressed as appropriate for the usual meetings, but can't for the life of me remember the dress code from previous sessions.
[14:42] <Alathon> ...
[14:42] <Alathon> okay
[14:42] <Alathon> anyways
[14:42] <Alathon> you go to the meeting
[14:42] <Mani> (Is there really any need to give us a hard time about something that the players are unsure of (or forgot) that the characters would know?)
[14:42] <Alathon> (honestly.. at this point, kinda. I mean.. this is something you've done many, many, many times)
[14:42] <Mani> (Yeah? And how many times did the players have to decide what to wear--or was it even explicitly mentioned?)
[14:42] <Reis> (Yeah, but the dress code is usually a minor detail at most.)
[14:43] <Alathon> (and how you're dressed has a lot to do with you how define your relationship with who you're meeting with)
[14:43] <Alathon> (it was explicitly mentioned at least a dozen times over the last 70 or so sessions)
[14:43] <Mani> (And consistent throughout?)
[14:43] <Sheena> (umm mybad thing?)
[14:43] <Alathon> (absolutely not, it's changed over time)
[14:43] <Sheena> (ill use the "Its freaking sheena" defence)
[14:44] <Alathon> anyawys
[14:44] <Alathon> Yuuno was invited as well, she's in informal clothing. Usagi is in uniform.
[14:44] <Kuonji> (show up wearing a wife beater)
[14:44] <Alathon> (do it!)
[14:45] <Alathon> (too bad kuonji doesn't have the scuplted form to make it work : ( )
[14:45] <Kuonji> (what, a beer gut?)
[14:45] <Alathon> (hahahahaha)
[14:45] <Alathon> (I was thinking a sixpack, but that's probably more appropriate)
[14:45] * Reis greets everyone as she comes in.
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi gives Sheena's dress a quick onceover, a little surprised, but doesn't comment on it.
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Thanks for coming in on short notice."
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "If one of you could present your findings..?"
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Er, summarize."
[14:47] * Sheena looks over at reis and her loaded pda
[14:47] * Mani gives Reis a nod.
[14:47] * Reis pulls out the PDA, nodding. "Okay... The Skybolts, we didn't recieve a response from at all."
[14:49] <Reis> "Executive Outcomes responded within two days. They say that their employer has violated the terms of contract and they're quitting - they indicated that they want the release of any and all prisoners of war, and are willing to pay in SLUs, precious metal, or information."
[14:49] <Alathon> Usagi grins a litte at that.
[14:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Excellent. that's just the sort of news we need."
[14:50] <Sheena> "I wonder if becomeing a blood splatter is the volation, or if they did something else'
[14:50] <Reis> "Our application for Midchilda's address got a response - we'd need to go through a good amount of paperwork and give biological data and the like before we could get a Visa."
[14:50] * Reis smiles, nodding.
[14:50] <Alathon> Usagi makes a face.
[14:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "Figures."
[14:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "any indication about how likely they are to accept applications?"
[14:51] <Reis> "I saved the paperwork, so we can go over it and figure out if there's anything we're not willing to tell them."
[14:51] * Reis shakes her head. "No, nothing that I saw."
[14:52] <Reis> "And also, we looked up the original advertisement - managed to find it fairly quickly. Our guess was right, Addington was the contact person."
[14:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "Huh."
[14:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "better and better."
[14:52] <Mani> "I have a picture of it."
[14:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "Good call, I'd like a look at that afterwards."
[14:53] * Reis nods. "I have the information from the Midchildan Transit Bureau, I can send it to your communicator for you to look over in detail."
[14:57] <Alathon> Usagi mulls this over a bit before responding.
[14:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "So.... we know for a fact that at least one segment of the Texan mercenary force has left them."
[14:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "We've killed a lot of them as well.. several hundred at least, all told."
[14:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose we can't really take too much away from the Skybolts not contacting us."
[14:58] <Alathon> usagi frowns a little.
[14:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "Probably don't need to pass that on to Myshella, though.. might as well keep her content and see what we can get."
[14:59] <Alathon> She bites her lip and thinks a little more, before continuing.
[14:59] <Alathon> She speaks to the entire group.
[14:59] <Sheena> (what group was myshella from?)
[15:00] <Alathon> (Skybolts)
[15:00] <Sheena> (ahh shame)
[15:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'd appreciate it if you could all find some time to fill out those forms.. actually, damn."
[15:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "Should have asked you to pick up a few more of those PDA's."
[15:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "Seeing as we're not too keen on opening up any data pathway between them and our own net."
[15:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll requisition you all some stand-alone units for this. Probably be a couple days though."
[15:02] <Mani> "Mm, good point."
[15:02] * Reis frowns, nodding. "We can pop in and get some more PDAs next time we're there, potentially."
[15:02] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "Is that something you could do today? Or is the strain too much?"
[15:03] <Mani> "We may want to bring some experts in various fields along, too, who can see if there's any particular technology that would be very useful for us to acquire."
[15:03] <Sheena> "We still need to handle our "money" problem there. As it is we really dont have any good way to get more"
[15:03] <Mani> "And that, too."
[15:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "Actually, never mind that. I need to requisition these regardless..."
[15:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "And, yeah."
[15:03] <Reis> (Drain the life from captured Evangelists? :P )
[15:04] <Mani> (Sell the crosses. ;) )
[15:04] <Reis> (Oooooooh.)
[15:04] <Reis> (Wanna suggest it IC? :P )
[15:04] <Sheena> (donation system? Even if its just a sliver or a hard runs worth, It adds up with a nice population)
[15:04] <Mani> "As I've said, objects of art do seem to sell for good prices, so far as I've seen."
[15:04] <Mani> (Suggest it in character if you mean it. :) )
[15:04] * Sheena hmmms
[15:05] <Reis> (True, with a million people giving one sliver, that's an SLU right there, and they'll be fine within a day.)
[15:05] <Sheena> "Donation system? If if its just a frcation of a sliver, say a hard runs worth. It would add up"
[15:05] * Mani frowns slightly.
[15:05] <Sheena> *even if
[15:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose the trick will be finding artists locally whose aesthetics match up with potential buyers."
[15:05] <Mani> "Maybe, but there's the whole slippery slope issue."
[15:06] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "Yeah..."
[15:06] <Alathon> Usagi, to Mani: "Yeah.."
[15:06] <Mani> "Do we really want to open the door on sucking the life from our people?"
[15:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "We really don't want to go there. Pawning the enemy's stuff, that's at least a grey area."
[15:06] <Reis> "... Donation system like that is about two steps up from what Texas is doing now."
[15:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "I mean, it's not like we can just give it back."
[15:07] <Sheena> "An enemys stuff.. hmm, i still need to go over idea with celeste about what thoes crosses are"
[15:07] * Sheena shurgs
[15:07] <Sheena> "Mabie we can loot em"
[15:08] <Sheena> "Mani's all ready shown she can weaken them"
[15:08] <Mani> "I could try talking to my analogue and see if he's open to maybe selling some of our crystal works."
[15:08] <Reis> "Hm... Maybe a high-end storage device could drain them?"
[15:08] <Alathon> Usagi loosk over at Sheena a little sharply when she mentiones Celeste.
[15:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "Are you sure that's a good idea, Sheena? I mean.. for her, they'd be.."
[15:09] <Alathon> Usagi trails off, trying to find the words she needs.
[15:09] * Sheena does a blink blink
[15:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well. I mean, it'd be no skin off our back if she started looting them."
[15:09] <Mani> "That's an interesting idea, Reis. It also reminds me of something else I was thinking of--have we planted any recording devices to try to see just how the energy is taken from the crosses?"
[15:09] <Alathon> She still seems troubled.
[15:10] <Sheena> "A huge buffie? I was thinking more along the lines of her having experince with such technogly and how to make that kind of equipemnt"
[15:10] * Reis shakes her head. "No, I think we were planning to do that with a captured one."
[15:10] <Mani> "That wouldn't tell us what the Texans do with them, though."
[15:10] <Sheena> "The more we know about it the more options we have"
[15:11] * Reis frowns. "That's true, if it actually needs to be taken we won't have details without outright watching them harvesting the energy..."
[15:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's certainly true.."
[15:11] <Sheena> (If sheena was a good girlfriend she would nab one for celeste, )
[15:12] <Reis> "Problem is that the recorder would need to be inserted by stealth, rather than our usual strike missions."
[15:12] <Alathon> Usagi, a little uncomfortably: "I'm more worried about what could happen if she took an interest in the crosses.. or the network in general, for that matter."
[15:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "I mean, it's the lifeforce equivalent of a pyramid scheme.."
[15:12] <Alathon> Usagi then looks over at Reis.
[15:12] * Sheena hmms
[15:13] <Alathon> usagi: "Our Intelligence wing is working on stuff like that, Reis."
[15:13] <Sheena> "undercut what ever 'god' there sending that to?"
[15:13] <Mani> "And while Celeste is an ally, I think we're all rightfully wary of these things getting into the hands of other parties who can just take up where the Texans leave off."
[15:13] * Reis nods. "Yeah, I figured it'd be something for them rather than us."
[15:14] <Mani> "Or mass produce them. Imagine roving bands of mercenaries who can go from town to town with these crosses..."
[15:15] * Reis winces.
[15:15] * Mani ponders.
[15:15] <Sheena> "Woudl be the same as thoes greys"
[15:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Is that really a problem, though? I mean.. those things are already available for purchase from vending machines in that bar."
[15:15] <Sheena> "They get the life of any one they mange to kill or even cut"
[15:15] <Mani> "You know, it's possible exactly that happened in Nevada..."
[15:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Maybe the crosses have some special properties and defenses, but it seems to me that at the core they're not that different from that storage thingy we've got."
[15:16] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "Yeah... I guess the crosses aren't too much of a problem on the interdimensional market just for their drain properties. Other people harvest SLUs already..."
[15:16] <Sheena> "That easy huh/"
[15:16] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Yuuno.
[15:16] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah, the crosses technology.. or magic, whatever, isn't the problem."
[15:17] <Mani> "Maybe. But maybe not. We don't know enough about the crosses and other such devices on the market to say."
[15:17] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's the existance of hundreds, maybe thousands, of fully loaded ones.. that's the problem."
[15:17] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's a huge honeypot."
[15:17] <Alathon> Usagi suddenly gets a thought.
[15:17] * Reis pales. "... If news of those things gets out, how many 'gold raiders' will Texas be seeing?"
[15:17] <Alathon> usagi: "Hell, I wonder how the UST kept their mercs from raiding their own towns for those."
[15:18] * Reis purses her lips, pondering.
[15:18] <Mani> "Keep the unbonded ones away from towns with them, perhaps?"
[15:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hm.. wonder if any of their towns have been vanishing off the map, or been declared 'overrun by harleyriders'..."
[15:19] <Mani> "Then again, why would the mercs want to wipe out the town? How about just having a holy angel take over when the evangelist disappears?"
[15:19] <Reis> "Something else for Intelligence to look into, I guess..."
[15:19] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani, and nods slowly.
[15:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "Definately something to be mindful of.. and to alert the Riders to before they finalize occupation plans."
[15:20] * Reis sighs. "... What in hell did the Texans _unleash_ on themselves? It's starting to sound even more dangerous for Texas than for the AFS."
[15:20] <Mani> "Or if they want to be less obtrusive, have a 'replacement' evangelist arrive."
[15:20] <Sheena> "If it is like that, its jhust more of a reason to do something"
[15:20] * Reis nods. "One disguise spell is more or less the same as another, it'd be easy."
[15:21] <Sheena> "Better it destoryed, or used in a way that wont attract every leech across the demintions'
[15:21] <Reis> (... And now, I'm wondering if the next church we hit isn't gonna have an angel as Evangelist :P )
[15:21] * Reis nods. "We'd need to get as much information... Even destroying them at the fastest pace was can is a prospect that might take years."
[15:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "Years?"
[15:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "I was thinking more along the lines of weeks."
[15:22] <Sheena> "There's a ton of the things right? What if its easy for them to make more"
[15:22] <Reis> (Eh? Aren't there thousands?)
[15:22] <Alathon> (yes)
[15:23] * Reis shakes her head, sighing. "There are thousands... we've been destroying them at the rate of like ten a day? Ten thousand could take three years."
[15:23] <Alathon> Usagi: "We're going to have to step up that effort."
[15:23] <Alathon> Usagi: "We can't afford to let this lie for three years, and we really need those destroyed. For many reasons."
[15:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "When it comes down to it, each of the Inners can handle a few a day on their own. More risk, but it's feasible."
[15:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yuuno, Reis, and Sheena together could reasonably hit at least three to four a day."
[15:24] * Reis nods. "Yeah... That's why I'm hoping we'll find a convenient vulnerability if we examine the system - something that doesn't have everyone risking their lives so heavily."
[15:24] <Sheena> "Like that they would set up ambuses and be ready for us"
[15:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "absolutely."
[15:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "But if they have ten thousand crosses, there's no way in hell they can cover all of them."
[15:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "And hell, it could be a moot point if the mercenaries are no longer a factor."
[15:26] <Mani> "I suppose that's true. It'll still mean losses for us."
[15:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "The Riders are going to do their best to roll over all of Texas, and once they control the territory, destroying the crosses will just be a matter of transportation."
[15:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hm."
[15:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "Wonder what their Oathtakers will make of those...."
[15:27] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani.
[15:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "It'll mean greater risk, yes."
[15:27] <Sheena> "If they can sense what me or sakura did it would likly make them sick"
[15:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "I wonder if we can count on that. It at least seems like they're benevolent.. or at least, they haven't turned the AFS to shit, but.."
[15:28] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head a little.
[15:28] <Alathon> usagi: "We really don't know."
[15:28] * Reis nods. "That's true... I'd like to capture a couple to run some experiments on. If there's any kind of connection, or flaw in the system we can hit to get it all done _without_ everyone running a dangerous level of risks..."
[15:28] <Mani> "How much information have we shared with the AFS on recent matters?"
[15:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hell, I wonder what New England has done with that knowledge.. they've gotta have known about those for centuries."
[15:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "We've shared the information about the crosses in general."
[15:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[15:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose I shouldn't be so worried. Their neighbors have to have known the score for decades at least, and the UST seems to be the only place with a lifesucking pyrmaid scheme going on."
[15:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "So the AFS and Confederacy leadership at least aren't willing to go there."
[15:30] <Mani> "Well, they have had a chance to see what a wonderful place such practices have made of Texas."
[15:32] <Kuonji> (ted nugent is out of his fucking mind)
[15:32] <Sheena> "Could just think there above that"
[15:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose we'll need to send out diplomatic feelers on that topic."
[15:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "In addition to other measures."
[15:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hm."
[15:35] <Alathon> Usagi checks her comm.
[15:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "I've gotta bail pretty soon, anything else we should hit on now?"
[15:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll get you those stand-alone systems, and one for myself as well."
[15:35] * Mani thinks.
[15:35] * Reis nods. "Do we have a deployment coming up soon?"
[15:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yes, but not until tomorrow evening."
[15:36] <Mani> "It does seem kind of wasteful to go to the Bar just to check and leave messages. If additional objectives could be set for us, it might be a good idea."
[15:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm going on the assumption that a day will be sufficient to recover from the visit to the bar."
[15:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "Wasteful, maybe, but also conservative."
[15:37] * Reis nods. "It should be... Do we know what the mission is, roughly?"
[15:37] <Alathon> usagi: "and we're being very conservative when it comes to interaction with other dimensions."
[15:37] <Mani> "Well, I don't necessarily mean anything 'big'. Just other things we could look into while there."
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "More of the same, with Mercury."
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[15:38] * Reis nods.
[15:38] <Sheena> "Should i bring up these crossses with celste? Or no? Im rather sure her race has delt with this kinda of stuff before. And hell, she knew her way around that bar rather well"
[15:38] <Mani> "Since each trip does weaken us for a day or so."
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "To be honest.. when I think of the things I'd like to look into in a central meeting hub for beings from many different dimensions, I kinda think 'anything and everything."
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hm."
[15:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll get a list drawn up of topics to research, at least, for the next trip."
[15:39] * Mani nods.
[15:39] <Mani> "Thank you."
[15:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Actually, speaking of.."
[15:39] <Alathon> uasgi: "If something catches your eye as particularly interesting or valuable, the SLUs we have are at your discretion."
[15:40] <Mani> (That's good, since I was kind of assuming that from the start. ;) )
[15:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "That said, it'd be best if you leave the SLU container with.. hmm, Pluto, when you're out on local missions."
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi, ruefully: "I probably should have said that from the start, rather than have your team drag it all over Earth."
[15:41] * Reis nods. "All right... do you know how we can contact her to drop it off?"
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll forward you a private comm code."
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "She can usually make time for anything important."
[15:41] <Sheena> (we check the container and find it stuck on gather and filled.. ooopos)
[15:42] * Reis nods.
[15:42] <Mani> (Can that device be fed life force directly from a person, btw?)
[15:42] <Mani> (Other than one of Celeste's kind, that is.)
[15:43] <Alathon> It can be, if they have the capability to manipulate life-force.
[15:43] <Reis> "Oh, Usagi-san? Next time we're at the bar, should we purchase a storage device and see if we can use it to drain the crosses?"
[15:43] <Reis> "Or... find some kind of equipment that does it?"
[15:43] <Alathon> And also have sufficient mechanical/magical knowledge to understand how the device works.
[15:43] <Mani> (Does what we do qualify?)
[15:43] <Alathon> If you merged Mani and Reis, yes
[15:44] <Mani> (How about if we read the manual? ;) )
[15:44] <Alathon> the manual will advise you not to use it with SLU transfer devices that do not meet the ISO specifications
[15:44] <Mani> ("Oh, sure. Then, any idiot can do it. But who reads manuals?")
[15:44] <Alathon> Usagi considers Reis's question.
[15:44] <Sheena> (no answer to sheena's question?
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know, that's above my pay grade."
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll get back to you on that."
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi then looks over at Sheena.
[15:45] * Sheena wonders how much the boss makes for a moment
[15:45] * Reis nods. "It'll be a while until we go anyway, I suppose."
[15:45] <Mani> (2 SLUs a month.)
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "You don't need to hide them from her, Sheena, but I don't see a need to bring them up."
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "I mean.. I kinda figured she has a certain amount of access to your mind regardless..."
[15:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "So it's not like you can keep them a secret."
[15:46] <Alathon> (and you better believe that would give her white hairs if her hair could turn white)
[15:46] <Mani> "By the way, I might be able to develop a way to heal the drain from entering the Bar. I'll let you know if I come up with anything."
[15:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "That would be.. very useful."
[15:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "and not just for that."
[15:47] * Mani nods.
[15:47] <Mani> "I know."
[15:48] <Sheena> "That has a lot of high and low points.. While yuuno and merc will get a look at the high points. The down sides are her getting rather upset at any "foolish" stuff i do durning missions"
[15:48] <Alathon> (Anyways, how about a 10 minute break or so)
[15:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "Upset is putting it lightly..."
[15:49] <Sheena> (im game)
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi then parses what you said.
[15:49] <Sheena> (or fine for a break, hell i just ordered a pizza)
[15:49] <Alathon> usagi: "Wait, you sent them --."
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Never mind."
[15:49] <Sheena> "In my defence they asked"
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think we've exhausted the potential of that topic.."
[15:49] <Alathon> (wait, Yuuno did?)
[15:49] <Sheena> (yes)
[15:49] <Alathon> (wow, totally forgot)
[15:50] <Sheena> (last week)
[15:50] * Reis simply closes her eyes and factors out all thoughts about just what the high points of telepathy are.
[15:50] <Alathon> Yuuno looks.. um... red.
[15:50] <Alathon> Anyways.
[15:50] <Mani> (Sounds good. My system's a bit slow and could probably use a reboot. And I can get a few Brawls in. :) )
[15:50] <Alathon> Break for ten minutes
[15:50] <Reis> (Gotcha.)
[15:50] <Sheena> (oy.. i need to get a wii before yarrow ends up a brawl pro..)
[15:51] <Mani> Brb.
[15:51] * Mani (~opera@lunarnet-6FCB8404.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Quit: Mani)
[15:59] * Mani (~opera@ool-44c592f4.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[16:01] <Reis> (... Typos and dimensional coordinates. Someone shoot me if that doesn't have plotting potential :P )
[16:01] <Reis> (Also, I snickered. I typoed 'typos'.)
[16:03] <Sheena> (here)
[16:03] <Reis> (Also here.)
[16:04] <Mani> (I'm here.)
[16:06] <Alathon> alright
[16:06] <Alathon> sorry about the delay
[16:07] <Alathon> Anyways.. si there anything else anyone wanted to bring up at that meeting?
[16:07] <Alathon> or shall we considered the meeting done with, the usual pleasantries said
[16:07] <Sheena> (cant think of anything)
[16:07] <Reis> (Don't think I had anything else in particular to bring up.)
[16:08] <Sheena> (ill have to afk in like.. 40min but it will be fast, just to pay the pizzaman)
[16:08] <Mani> (I think we're done.)
[16:09] <Alathon> (Low humor wins once again: http://fukung.net/v/1371/buttcarrot.jpg)
[16:09] <Kuonji> (I completely forgotI wasat the meeting ^^;;)
[16:09] <Alathon> (nod)
[16:09] <Alathon> (I was kinda wondering about that, but didn't really have anything to prod sakura about)
[16:09] <Mani> (So stealthy, even he forgets he's there!)
[16:09] <Alathon> Anyways..
[16:09] <Reis> (Heh. A 'doh' moment? :P )
[16:09] <Alathon> Usagi leaves in a hurry.
[16:10] <Alathon> Yuuno, on the other hand, lingers with the party.
[16:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So, what're you all up to? I'm kind of at loose ends."
[16:11] * Reis smiles slightly. "I'm doing some work on the cartridge system at the moment, actually... There was information in the Velka books, and I think I can improve it a bit."
[16:12] <Mani> "I'm not totally sure. I was thinking of calling up Amiko and m

Session 71 - part 2

[16:12] <Mani> "I'm not totally sure. I was thinking of calling up Amiko and making sure she's ok. And after that, maybe practicing with some crystal crafting or music."
[16:12] <Mani> (Btw, was there, in fact, catering or just Usagi and a bunch of empty plates when we arrived at the meeting? :) )
[16:13] * Reis looks over at Yuuno. "Hm... Actually, Yuuno-sensei, if you want I could do that checkup we discussed now. Or whenever you feel up to it."
[16:13] <Alathon> (she left more than half of the food)
[16:13] <Alathon> Yuuno makes a face.
[16:14] <Reis> (Yay! We gots some foodz!)
[16:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I should probably get it over with."
[16:15] <Mani> "With regard to the effects of being in cursed form for a long time?"
[16:15] <Reis> "All the magical effects on her, actually... Especially that phantom reading that I wasn't able to get a good view of."
[16:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "All that, yeah.."
[16:16] <Mani> "Mmm. A pretty complex situation, really. Yuuno basically has the choice between two different 'cursed' forms."
[16:16] <Sheena> (sorry, pizza guy showed up a LOt sooner then i fgered0
[16:16] <Mani> (How dare he! I hope you withheld his tip for that!)
[16:16] <Reis> (Heh. At least you have your pizza.)
[16:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Or choice C, elderly human male, if we can unlock it."
[16:17] <Kuonji> "So, three cursed forms then?"
[16:17] <Mani> "Well, if you break the Nanoha's spell, your ferret form isn't a cursed form."
[16:17] <Sheena> hmm"
[16:17] <Sheena> "Dont you want to stay like that yuuno?"
[16:17] <Sheena> "if thats your choice we'll work for it"
[16:18] * Reis nods. "If you want it and it's possible, I'll see what I can do."
[16:19] <Mani> "And you can count on my ... um, moral support."
[16:19] <Alathon> Yuuno smiles at Mani.
[16:19] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll gladly accept it."
[16:19] * Mani smiles back.
[16:19] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Anyways, we need to figure all this stuff out before we can start messing with it."
[16:20] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So.. off to the lab, I guess."
[16:20] <Alathon> (that'll be handled as a solo session with Reis)
[16:20] <Alathon> (so you know at least that probing the curse won't release lethal countermeasures taht kill them both)
[16:20] * Reis nods, standing with a smile. "Whenever you're ready."
[16:20] <Reis> (Heh.)
[16:21] <Reis> (Always good ta know!)
[16:21] <Mani> "Good luck."
[16:21] <Kuonji> "We're rooting for you."
[16:22] <Mani> (*with clasped hands and big shimmering eyes* "You can do it, Yuuno!")
[16:23] <Sheena> "If you need help just call me"
[16:23] * Reis nods. "Yeah... I don't think we'll need to blow anything up, though."
[16:23] <Mani> "Anyway, see everyone later."
[16:23] * Mani goes off and does what she said she was planning to.
[16:24] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Thanks again.."
[16:24] <Alathon> Alright
[16:24] <Sheena> (not every thing sheena does is related to blowing shit up)
[16:24] <Mani> (True. There's sex, too.)
[16:24] <Alathon> You've basically got the rest of the day to yourselves, so you'll succeed at doing whatever you want
[16:24] <Alathon> as long as it's not bizarre
[16:24] <Reis> (Darn.)
[16:24] <Mani> (So much for Sheena's plans.)
[16:24] <Sheena> ( i mean there's the autocannons... err well the pylons.. hmm.. ill think of soemthing just give me amin)
[16:25] <Alathon> (she could always go with the missionary position)
[16:25] <Mani> (Sure, but where's she going to find a missionary around here?)
[16:25] <Sheena> (consdering the list of 4 you brought up, that would fit in bizarre to)
[16:25] <Alathon> (she can always visit the bar, I'm sure there are plenty of missionaries there)
[16:25] <Alathon> (and heh, there's that, too)
[16:26] * Sheena checks her com and notes the time
[16:26] <Mani> (Hm. There isn't a rule that explicitly states 'No leaving the dimension', is there? :) )
[16:26] <Sheena> "Well i got to meet celeste for dinner, later"
[16:27] <Alathon> (nope, there's no rule about porting around the planet either)
[16:28] <Alathon> (Usagi and Venus both are operating on the assumption that common sense will be applied)
[16:28] <Mani> (The fools.)
[16:28] <Reis> (Common sense... damn you! My eternal nemesis!)
[16:28] <Kuonji> (heh)
[16:29] <Alathon> what does Sakura do?
[16:29] <Sheena> (makes a recording of reis having her way with yuuno)
[16:30] <Kuonji> (head to thelibrary, unlessanyone needs him for something)
[16:30] <Reis> (... I will note, that when Reis has her way with Yuuno, the recordings will NOT fit in the same category as the ones you sent to Mercury.)
[16:31] <Mani> ('When'?)
[16:31] <Reis> (Due to, y'know, not being porn and all, but fairly dry sciency stuff? :P )
[16:31] <Reis> (I'm presuming 'has her way with Yuuno' means what's happening today :P )
[16:38] <Alathon> Alright
[16:38] <Alathon> (sorry was in PM for a bit)
[16:39] <Reis> (No problem.)
[16:39] <Alathon> Yuuno will get his exam by Reis, Mani attends to her business, Sakura to his, and Sheena gets busy
[16:39] <Mani> (Down and dirty?)
[16:39] <Sheena> (we wash first)
[16:39] <Sheena> (often durning0
[16:40] <Mani> (You need to wash afterwards, too...)
[16:41] <Alathon> I'm sure sheena has figured that part out by now as well :)
[16:41] <Alathon> So, this brings us to the next day.
[16:42] <Alathon> You all get official notice/scheduling of another strike mission
[16:42] <Alathon> Time, 4pm Tokyo time
[16:42] * Mani passes on to everyone that Amiko seems to be doing well.
[16:42] <Alathon> Again with Mercury.
[16:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That's good.. "
[16:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Honestly, I don't remember her that clearly.. some of the stuff from back then is kinda fuzzy."
[16:43] * Reis nods. "I don't know her, but yeah..."
[16:43] <Mani> "So were you, back then."
[16:46] <Alathon> Yuuno snerks at the horrible joke.
[16:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Anyways... where's mercury?"
[16:46] <Alathon> (I'm assumign you all are meeting up for the mission, seeing as you're together)
[16:46] <Reis> (Righto)
[16:46] <Alathon> (does anyone want an informal gathering beforehand?)
[16:47] <Sheena> (i dont mind)
[16:47] <Mani> (either way)
[16:47] <Kuonji> "I dunno, maybe she's afraid of meeting sheena again after that video..."
[16:47] <Mani> "She'll arrive when she arrives."
[16:48] <Sheena> "I dought it, but she may know a bit more about slow and fast contact draining them she wanted"
[16:48] * Reis ... just kinda sweatdrops.
[16:48] <Mani> "And now we do, as well."
[16:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "TMI!"
[16:49] <Reis> (Didn't Yuuno watch it? :P )
[16:51] <Sheena> (she did want to know what sheena was upto)
[16:51] <Mani> roll 1d20+20
[16:51] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{40}
[16:52] <Sheena> (what the hell did you just crit?)
[16:53] <Reis> (/me is scared now.)
[16:53] <Mani> (Oh, just a ... personal project.)
[16:53] <Alathon> Sore wa, himitsu desu
[16:55] <Sheena> (guess its paying off)
[16:55] <Alathon> Anyways
[16:55] <Alathon> Once everyone's done being indignant about Sheenas exceptional openness, something happens.
[16:57] <Alathon> Venus shows up instead of Usagi.
[16:57] <Alathon> (er, instead of Mercury)
[16:57] <Mani> (Merc... yeah.)
[16:57] <Alathon> She's got a grave look on her face.
[16:58] <Alathon> Venus: "Change of plans, Mercury's pinned down at her last stop."
[16:58] * Reis blinks, frowning. "... Rescue mission?"
[16:58] <Alathon> Venus: "Exactly. Let's go."
[16:58] <Sheena> "Ready"
[16:58] * Mani nods.
[16:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Should we--"
[16:59] <Alathon> Venus doesn't wait for Yuuno to finish.
[16:59] <Alathon> There's a nasty, gut-wrenching nausea-inducing lurch, and you all come out of teleport about 20 feet aboveground.
[16:59] <Alathon> reflex saves for those with flight, everyone else drops
[16:59] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+12
[16:59] <Mani> (What about those with feather fall rings?)
[16:59] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{14}
[17:00] <Sheena> ...
[17:00] <Alathon> (you hover)
[17:00] <Alathon> (or rather, slowly fall)
[17:00] <Kuonji> (and my catlike reflexes?)
[17:00] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[17:00] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{25}
[17:00] <Mani> roll 1d20+9
[17:00] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{20}
[17:00] * Sheena floats for a bit and then gains controll of herself, getting pissed offf she has dark heart ready, darkness all ready starting to gather at her feet
[17:00] * Reis glurks slightly, rapidly triggering her barrier jacket and drawing her sword while she orients herself.
[17:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+16 Yuuno
[17:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+16 Yuuno --> [ 1d20=6 ]{22}
[17:01] <Mani> (Nice reflexes she has...)
[17:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27 Venus
[17:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 Venus --> [ 1d20=4 ]{31}
[17:01] <Mani> (I'm starting to get the feeling we should work on our saves.)
[17:02] <Alathon> (they kinda suffer when you take Adventurer a lot)
[17:02] <Reis> (Indeed.)
[17:02] <Sheena> (venus does have a few years on us)
[17:02] <Kuonji> (I'm assuming I land on my feet)
[17:02] <Mani> (Yeah, and now we know how she lived so long. ;) )
[17:03] <Alathon> (hmm.. Kuonji has catlike reflexes, right?)
[17:03] <Alathon> roll 2d6
[17:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d6 --> [ 2d6=5 ]{5}
[17:03] <Alathon> falling damage is 5 / 2 for him then ;p
[17:03] <Kuonji> (yes, he does)
[17:03] <Kuonji> (-_-)
[17:03] <Alathon> so, 0 damage after armor
[17:03] <Kuonji> (lol)
[17:03] <Alathon> Venus: "Fuck."
[17:03] * Mani quickly looks around.
[17:03] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Anti-teleport wards of some sort.."
[17:04] <Mani> "Hard to pin down a senshi, otherwise."
[17:04] <Kuonji> "Permission to go invisible and scout?"
[17:04] <Alathon> Venus: "Granted."
[17:05] <Mani> "Do we know where we need to go from here?"
[17:05] * Reis frowns, peering forward.
[17:05] <Sheena> "Ya i see that huge field"
[17:05] <Sheena> "SHalli break it?"
[17:05] <Alathon> Venus heads straight into it.
[17:05] * Kuonji activates his invisibility and starts scouting.
[17:05] <Alathon> She then stops.
[17:05] <Alathon> She turns, and speaks.
[17:05] <Alathon> Venus: "If you can, now's the time to try."
[17:05] <Sheena> (i forgot the roll)
[17:05] <Alathon> (caster level)
[17:05] <Alathon> (which is ranks of magic * 2)
[17:06] <Sheena> (and greater dispell is another x2 isnt it?)
[17:06] <Alathon> Off in the distance, y ou can all see specks whirling in the sky
[17:07] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20
[17:07] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{22}
[17:07] <Sheena> (or +40..)
[17:07] <Alathon> (no
[17:07] <Alathon> (greater dispel just lets you use a bonus above +10)
[17:07] <Mani> (DRing it?)
[17:07] <Sheena> (ahhh)
[17:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Damn."
[17:07] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+20
[17:07] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{24}
[17:07] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+21
[17:07] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{25}
[17:07] <Kuonji> (wtf)
[17:08] <Sheena> (it iddnt fail so ill not dr)
[17:08] <Alathon> Venus: "That's a no?"
[17:08] <Alathon> Venus is a little antsy.
[17:09] <Kuonji> roll 2#1d20+16
[17:09] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 2#1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{31}, [ 1d20=18 ]{34}
[17:09] <Sheena> (BAH!)
[17:09] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20
[17:09] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{24}
[17:09] <Sheena> FUCK
[17:10] <Sheena> "Damn it!, we have to move in"
[17:10] * Reis looks up at the aerial battle and follows Venus as she heads in. "Right."
[17:10] <Alathon> Venus moves on, at great speed on the ground.
[17:10] * Mani follows.
[17:10] * Reis does her moving at great speed in the air.
[17:11] <Alathon> Reis fails.
[17:11] <Alathon> Teleport doesn't work.
[17:11] <Reis> (... Joy.)
[17:12] <Alathon> Venus doesn't seem to have noticed, she's proceding on the ground at great speed.
[17:12] <Alathon> Yuuno slows and looks back, questioningly.
[17:12] <Mani> "Need a lift, Reis?"
[17:12] * Reis frowns and tries to run as fast as she can to keep up. "My teleporting doesn't work, yeah, I'm down to normal speeds."
[17:12] <Reis> "Thanks, Mani."
[17:12] <Alathon> You'll be moving at half speed, Mani
[17:12] * Mani carries Reis.
[17:13] * Sheena flys along?
[17:13] <Alathon> Sheena, do you try to keep up with Venus, or stick with the rest of the team?
[17:13] <Alathon> Yuuno slows down to match speeds with Mani and Reis.
[17:13] * Reis will pull a scope out of her pocket and eye the aerial battle.
[17:13] * Sheena notices yuuno falling back and stays wing for venus
[17:13] * Mani comms to Venus: "Be aware that most of us can't keep up with you."
[17:14] <Reis> (Wondering if I can fire from here in Mani's arms :P )
[17:14] <Alathon> No answer
[17:14] <Mani> "Don't tell me her comm is off..."
[17:15] <Alathon> Yuuno, loudly: "Or she's not checking it.. damn!"
[17:15] * Mani tells Sheena to pass that on to Venus.
[17:15] <Alathon> (you have had this problem with Venus before ;p )
[17:15] <Reis> "... She didn't get issued our headsets, did she?"
[17:15] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+21 hide
[17:15] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+21 hide --> [ 1d20=9 ]{30}
[17:15] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+20 move silently
[17:15] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+20 move silently --> [ 1d20=5 ]{25}
[17:15] <Reis> (Does the scope yield a decent view of the battle going on up in the air, Ala?)
[17:17] <Alathon> It's better but not great.
[17:17] <Alathon> It's like trying to watch TV through a straw
[17:17] * Sheena tells venus the stat update as they move
[17:17] <Alathon> alright, Sheena join me in #ct2 please
[17:17] <Alathon> and kuonji
[17:18] <Reis> (Darn. Can I semi-identify any of the combatants?)
[17:18] <Mani> (I'd be surprised if you don't get motion sick, trying to do that while being carried at a fast run. :) )
[17:18] <Alathon> (I'd be really surprised if you managed to see anything of use at all ;p )
[17:19] <Alathon> (I'll give you a pass on the motion sickness )
[17:19] <Reis> ('Dammit, if I'm gonna be slowing the whole thing down, I'm at LEAST gonna try and get some shots in to make up for it!')
[17:19] <Reis> (Heh, no spot roll but no motion sickness?)
[17:20] <Mani> "Reis, keep an eye on our surroundings instead of looking up there."
[17:20] * Reis sighs and puts the thing away again, keeping an eye out. "Sorry..."
[17:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Ah, shit!"
[17:21] <Reis> (Oh dear?)
[17:21] <Alathon> Yuuno promptly throws up a forcefield.
[17:21] <Mani> (Around us or just around herself?)
[17:21] <Alathon> just herself
[17:21] <Alathon> she breaks off a bit to the side of you two as well
[17:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Gun angels!"
[17:21] <Reis> (You don't see it, but there's already one around the entire group :P )
[17:21] * Mani activates her uniform.
[17:22] * Reis frowns and floats out of Mani's arm. "Which way?"
[17:22] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Right --"
[17:22] <Alathon> and, init
[17:22] <Mani> (How fast can Reis fly without teleportation?)
[17:22] <Reis> (Gunfire comes from said direction? :P )
[17:22] <Reis> (Walking speed.)
[17:22] <Reis> roll 1d20+9 init
[17:22] <Mani> roll 1d20+9
[17:22] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 init --> [ 1d20=17 ]{26}
[17:22] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{24}
[17:23] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4 Yuuno
[17:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 Yuuno --> [ 1d20=13 ]{17}
[17:24] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+8 gun angels
[17:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+8 gun angels --> [ 1d20=10 ]{18}, [ 1d20=16 ]{24}
[17:24] <Reis> (Do I see 'em?)
[17:26] <Alathon> Where yuuno points, there's a slight different in the quality of the magic in the area
[17:26] <Alathon> the entire area is bathed in magic ffrom the anti-teleport field
[17:26] <Alathon> but that area has a smidge more
[17:26] <Reis> (Normal eyes don't see anything?)
[17:27] <Alathon> They do in about 2 seconds
[17:27] <Alathon> alright
[17:28] <Alathon> fight order: Reis, Mani, Gun Angel #1, Gun Angel #2, Yuuno
[17:29] <Reis> (We've got visible gun angels to shoot at?)
[17:29] <Alathon> unfortunately, they get a surprise round
[17:30] <Reis> (Darnination :P )
[17:30] <Mani> (See--this is why I told you to watch our surroundings instead of playing with your telescope. :) )
[17:30] <Reis> (Heh.)
[17:31] <Alathon> sorry for the slowness, multitasking
[17:31] <Alathon> anyways
[17:31] <Reis> (Yeah, no problem.)
[17:31] <Alathon> the snipers are reasonably smart, and pick one target to pelt with attacks
[17:31] <Alathon> roll 1d2
[17:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=1 ]{1}
[17:31] <Alathon> Lucky Reis
[17:32] <Alathon> (was gonna be one of the two mages)
[17:32] <Reis> (Whee?)
[17:32] <Mani> (I guess they have our pictures...)
[17:32] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+30
[17:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{47}, [ 1d20=5 ]{35}
[17:32] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+25
[17:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{29}, [ 1d20=2 ]{27}
[17:32] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+20
[17:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{33}, [ 1d20=8 ]{28}
[17:32] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+15
[17:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{26}, [ 1d20=11 ]{26}
[17:32] <Sheena> (...)
[17:32] <Alathon> Reis, you're at -4 for being carried ;p
[17:32] <Reis> (Any more coming up?)
[17:32] <Mani> (She left my arms.)
[17:33] <Alathon> oh she did?
[17:33] <Reis> (Yeah, the moment Yuuno yelled.)
[17:33] <Alathon> oh right righ thtere
[17:33] <Mani> (Yep. As soon as Yuuno gave her warning, she floated out.)
[17:33] <Alathon> alright, full dodge
[17:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32+2+2
[17:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32+2+2 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{56}
[17:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32+2+2-2
[17:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32+2+2-2 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{47}
[17:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32+2+2-4
[17:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32+2+2-4 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{37}
[17:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32+2+2-6
[17:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32+2+2-6 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{40}
[17:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32+2+2-8
[17:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32+2+2-8 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{41}
[17:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32+2+2-10
[17:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32+2+2-10 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{42}
[17:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32+2+2-12
[17:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32+2+2-12 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{40}
[17:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32+2+2-14
[17:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32+2+2-14 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{27}
[17:35] <Mani> (Not bad...)
[17:35] <Alathon> where are the extra +2's from?
[17:35] <Reis> (Using Swordbreaker to block 'em.)
[17:36] <Alathon> that's one, and?
[17:36] <Reis> (Ring of Protection)
[17:36] <Alathon> oh, you aren't including that in the base value? okay
[17:36] <Reis> (Yeah, figured it'd work a little cleaner that way.)
[17:36] * Reis grits her teeth, whirling her sword into place before the attacks are actually fired, spinning eight dark bolts of energy off to the sides.
[17:37] <Alathon> yup, all 8 blocked
[17:37] <Alathon> they're bright bolts, but yeah
[17:38] <Alathon> anyways
[17:38] <Reis> (Oh? I thought they were dark, oopsie.)
[17:38] <Reis> (Are the snipers near each other?)
[17:38] <Mani> (Oh, no! She was blocking the dark ones! All hit. ;) )
[17:38] <Alathon> two human-looking beings in tan leathers appear over where Yuuno is pointing
[17:38] <Alathon> each has partial cover by a tree
[17:38] <Mani> (These are the ones that just fired?)
[17:39] <Alathon> (yes)
[17:39] <Alathon> (they're less than a hundred feet away)
[17:39] <Reis> (Hm. Can I toss a spreading autofire to hit the both of them? What kind of penalties would I be looking at?)
[17:39] <Reis> (No wings today?)
[17:39] <Alathon> Not these ones
[17:40] <Mani> (It'd be a major faux pas to wear them after Labor Day.)
[17:40] <Reis> (Heh.)
[17:40] <Alathon> and you can add a spreading to the autofire
[17:40] <Reis> (What kind of penalties to hit them behind the cover? Or would my Accurate cover it?)
[17:40] <Alathon> your accurate does
[17:40] <Alathon> they have partial cover so it's -4
[17:40] <Reis> (Whoo!)
[17:40] <Alathon> and you have +8
[17:40] * Reis almost in the same motion braces Swordbreaker in front of her, snapping out, "S Cartridge, Adlern Richter!"
[17:40] <Alathon> no calling shots to the head with autofire attacks or spreading attacks
[17:41] <Reis> (Heh, yeah, I learned that one at least.)
[17:41] * Reis fires a massive stream of ribbons, depleting the outermost layer of her clothing for a moment as the things whirl out at high speed attempting to gut the angels.
[17:41] <Reis> roll 1d20+30+12
[17:41] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30+12 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{56}
[17:42] <Reis> (Or the... not-angels. The dudes who shot at us? :P )
[17:42] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+34
[17:42] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{48}, [ 1d20=3 ]{37}
[17:42] <Mani> "Don't you usually wear something under that?"
[17:42] <Alathon> one hit on angel #1, three hits on angel #2
[17:43] <Reis> (Reis is wearing something under that. It's just the outermost layer, the ribbons, that went flying.)
[17:43] <Mani> (I said it anyway. ;) )
[17:43] <Reis> roll 4d8 AP 2
[17:43] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 4d8 AP 2 --> [ 4d8=26 ]{26}
[17:43] <Reis> roll 3#4d8 AP 2
[17:43] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 3#4d8 AP 2 --> [ 4d8=17 ]{17}, [ 4d8=23 ]{23}, [ 4d8=13 ]{13}
[17:43] <Reis> (Judge Opponent on #2.)
[17:44] * Reis chokes and looks down at herself as the bloody ribbons whip back into place.
[17:46] <Mani> (We need a dual core DM. :) )
[17:46] <Reis> (Heh.)
[17:46] <Reis> (Anyway, I have no further actions this round.)
[17:48] <Alathon> *nod*
[17:48] <Alathon> Mani is up
[17:48] <Alathon> at your speed, you can reach one of them this round and get a single set of attacks off
[17:49] * Mani charges for the wounded one, and attacks from the side opposite the other one.
[17:49] <Mani> roll 3#1d20+33
[17:49] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{39}, [ 1d20=14 ]{47}, [ 1d20=19 ]{52}
[17:51] <Alathon> he does his best to dodge
[17:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[17:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{45}
[17:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[17:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{32}
[17:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[17:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{47}
[17:51] <Alathon> but only evades the first swing.
[17:51] <Mani> roll 2#1d10+9 0AP
[17:51] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d10+9 0AP --> [ 1d10=8 ]{17}, [ 1d10=2 ]{11}
[17:51] <Alathon> Your swords easily shear through the leathers it's wearing, and penetrate
[17:52] <Mani> roll 6d8
[17:52] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=26 ]{26}
[17:53] * Mani smiles and says pleasantly in Abyssal, "You're going to die here."
[17:53] <Alathon> He looks like he believes you.
[17:53] <Alathon> some combination of fear and desperation.
[17:54] <Reis> (Given the circumstances? I would certainly believe it.)
[17:55] <Alathon> angels #1 and #2 switch their fire to point blank shots at Mani
[17:55] <Alathon> They seem to be aiming at her head
[17:55] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+30+1
[17:55] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+30+1 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{32}, [ 1d20=12 ]{43}
[17:55] <Mani> (Any defensive bonus for having one of them between me and the other?)
[17:55] <Reis> (And one of them hits... his own head.)
[17:55] <Alathon> one of them is shit outta luck though.
[17:55] <Mani> (And, apparently, I unnerved one of them very badly. ;) )
[17:55] <Reis> (Or maybe the other guy's head. :P )
[17:55] <Alathon> The one you hit shoots his partner once, then stops, horrified
[17:55] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25+1
[17:55] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25+1 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{29}
[17:55] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20+1
[17:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20+1 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{40}
[17:56] <Alathon> roll 1d20+15+1
[17:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+15+1 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{35}
[17:56] <Alathon> so, um, dodge four ;p
[17:56] <Mani> (Mm, wouldn't it have to be the other way around, actually?)
[17:56] <Alathon> yeah but that wouldn't really make sense
[17:56] <Mani> roll 1d20+25
[17:56] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{43}
[17:56] <Alathon> well
[17:56] <Mani> roll 1d20+23
[17:56] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{43}
[17:56] <Reis> (Unless you being really ludicrously close to his buddy was what unnerved him badly enough to miss his shot.)
[17:56] <Mani> roll 1d20+21
[17:56] <Alathon> it'd make perfect sense for the order I rolled the dice in
[17:56] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{24}
[17:57] <Alathon> one more dodge
[17:57] <Mani> roll 1d20+19
[17:57] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{31}
[17:57] <Mani> (Ok. Where's the 4th attack, btw?)
[17:57] <Reis> (15+1.)
[17:57] <Alathon> first one was the 43 in the first 2#
[17:58] <Alathon> (2nd 3rd 4th were the single rolls)
[17:58] <Alathon> roll 2#3d10+10 AP 1
[17:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#3d10+10 AP 1 --> [ 3d10=19 ]{29}, [ 3d10=12 ]{22}
[17:58] <Mani> (So, those were one shot by both, then 3 by the 2nd?)
[17:58] <Alathon> so.. 19 and 12 real damage
[17:58] <Alathon> yeah
[17:58] <Alathon> the one that botched didn't get the shots for the rest of the round
[17:58] <Alathon> and lets see if the other dude dodges
[17:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28 flatfooted
[17:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=9 ]{37}
[17:59] <Alathon> he does, but barely ;p
[17:59] <Reis> (Awwww.)
[17:59] <Alathon> Yuuno is up, and she wastes no time attacking the wounded gun angel.
[18:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[18:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{43}
[18:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[18:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{30}
[18:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[18:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{32}
[18:00] <Alathon> three globes of green light shoot out towards it..
[18:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+26
[18:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{33}
[18:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+24
[18:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{26}
[18:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+22
[18:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{40}
[18:01] <Alathon> it evades the last, but not the first two
[18:01] <Alathon> roll 2#5d8+10
[18:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=14 ]{24}, [ 5d8=16 ]{26}
[18:01] <Alathon> The globes slam it backwards, but don't appear to do physical damage.. but it's staggering.
[18:01] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order: Reis
[18:02] * Reis turns slightly, targeting #1 and figuring Mani will make perfectly fine mincemeat of #2. Five ribbons blast off at him again.
[18:02] <Reis> roll 1d20+30+12
[18:02] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30+12 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{50}
[18:02] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[18:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{52}
[18:03] <Alathon> It jerks to the side and evades them all.
[18:03] <Alathon> They make sawdust of several trees.
[18:03] <Alathon> kinda like that scene at the start of Ninja Scroll where all the ninjas are peppering the rock guy with ninja stars and shread the forest
[18:03] <Reis> (Heh.)
[18:03] <Alathon> Mani is up
[18:04] * Mani attacks the one she was fighting.
[18:04] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+33
[18:04] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{40}, [ 1d20=10 ]{43}
[18:04] <Mani> roll 1d20+28
[18:04] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{31}
[18:04] <Mani> roll 1d20+23
[18:04] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{34}
[18:04] <Mani> roll 1d20+18
[18:04] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{23}
[18:05] <Mani> roll 1d20+33
[18:05] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{47}
[18:05] <Alathon> (gonna use the extra attack on this.. nm
[18:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[18:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{40}
[18:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[18:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{47}
[18:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[18:05] <Mani> (I didn't think I had a choice.)
[18:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{36}
[18:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[18:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{46}
[18:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+26
[18:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{37}
[18:05] <Mani> (If he goes down before it, I'll be happy to use it on the other with that same roll.)
[18:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[18:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{40}
[18:05] <Reis> (Isn't that +24?)
[18:06] <Alathon> (Yeah, I think you can.. since you're in melee for this one, you can attack move and then use the remaining extra attack
[18:06] <Alathon> (though I dunno if I've been consistant on that.. and yes)
[18:06] <Reis> (The dice loved him this round, though.)
[18:06] <Alathon> well
[18:06] <Alathon> that last attack is the only one that hits the angel
[18:07] <Alathon> for the sake of not having mani do something silly like walk away from a standing opponent on the brink of death, we'll assume you were still targeting him with it
[18:07] <Mani> (Tie goes to the defender in this one, huh? I'm confused between the two systems now...)
[18:07] <Mani> roll 1d10+9
[18:07] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d10+9 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{17}
[18:07] <Mani> roll 3d8
[18:07] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=18 ]{18}
[18:08] <Reis> (Heh. He's standing with like 10 HP.)
[18:08] <Alathon> penetrates
[18:08] <Alathon> and yeah he's down now
[18:08] <Reis> (Oh? I musta miscalculated, excellent.)
[18:08] <Mani> "I keep telling people... you have to avoid them *all*."
[18:08] <Alathon> Gun Angel #1 fires rapidly at Mani, backing away.
[18:08] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[18:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{44}
[18:08] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[18:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{42}
[18:09] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[18:09] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{27}
[18:09] <Alathon> roll 1d20+15
[18:09] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{34}
[18:09] <Mani> roll 1d20+25
[18:09] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{39}
[18:09] <Mani> roll 1d20+23
[18:09] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{31}
[18:09] <Mani> roll 1d20+21
[18:09] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{39}
[18:09] <Mani> roll 1d20+19
[18:09] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{26}
[18:10] <Alathon> It's aim is pretty good.. maybe outta fear, or maybe from practice.
[18:10] <Alathon> anyways, three hits
[18:10] <Alathon> roll 3#3d10+10 AP 1
[18:10] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#3d10+10 AP 1 --> [ 3d10=22 ]{32}, [ 3d10=16 ]{26}, [ 3d10=15 ]{25}
[18:10] <Alathon> so 53 real damage
[18:11] * Mani calls, "Try not to let it do what it did last time, Reis."
[18:13] * Reis blinks. "Shoot Sheena-san down?"
[18:13] <Alathon> Yuuno fires again at the one remaining angel
[18:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[18:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[18:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{35}
[18:13] <Mani> "Well, I meant, evade..."
[18:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{33}
[18:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[18:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{30}
[18:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[18:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{48}
[18:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[18:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{49}
[18:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[18:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{42}
[18:13] <Alathon> wait.. it's already down -2.. doesn't change anything though
[18:14] <Alathon> It's way ahead of Yuuno's aim.
[18:14] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order: Reis
[18:14] * Reis runs towards it, making sure to keep Yuuno's angle of fire clear, and sends another burst of ribbons at him.
[18:15] <Reis> roll 1d20+30+12
[18:15] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30+12 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{55}
[18:15] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[18:15] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{43}
[18:15] <Alathon> two hits
[18:15] <Reis> roll 2#4d8 ap 2
[18:15] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 2#4d8 ap 2 --> [ 4d8=18 ]{18}, [ 4d8=17 ]{17}
[18:16] <Alathon> Two of the ribbons shear through the gun angel's armor and felsh.
[18:16] <Reis> (I _presume_ I'm nowhere near melee range yet?)
[18:16] <Alathon> Mani is up.
[18:16] <Alathon> No
[18:16] <Reis> (Yeah, figured normal running speed wouldn't make it.)
[18:16] * Mani moves in and attacks. (One set, I assume?)
[18:16] <Alathon> yeah
[18:16] <Mani> roll 3#1d20+33
[18:16] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{42}, [ 1d20=19 ]{52}, [ 1d20=2 ]{35}
[18:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[18:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{34}
[18:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[18:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[18:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{39}
[18:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{41}
[18:18] <Alathon> your first and second slashes connect.. it manages to twist away from the third.
[18:18] <Mani> roll 2#1d10+9
[18:18] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d10+9 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{11}, [ 1d10=8 ]{17}
[18:19] <Mani> roll 6d8
[18:19] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=28 ]{28}
[18:19] <Alathon> It staggers, cringing, as it's flesh aches from the force of the detonations within it.
[18:19] <Alathon> It raises it's gun to your head and fires, point-blank.
[18:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30+1
[18:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30+1 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{35}
[18:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25+1
[18:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25+1 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{31}
[18:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20+1
[18:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20+1 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{32}
[18:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+15+1
[18:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+15+1 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{24}
[18:20] <Alathon> and it's aim kinda sucks
[18:20] <Mani> (It's aiming at my head and has a higher bonus than before?)
[18:21] <Reis> (I'm kinda curious what that +1 is, too. Especially if it's an item of some sort :P )
[18:22] <Alathon> (it's the bonus for the point-blank shot feat)
[18:22] <Mani> (Ah.)
[18:22] <Alathon> Yuuno shoots...
[18:22] <Mani> roll 1d20+25
[18:22] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{44}
[18:22] <Mani> roll 1d20+23
[18:22] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{36}
[18:22] <Mani> roll 1d20+21
[18:22] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{22}
[18:22] <Mani> roll 1d20+19
[18:22] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{25}
[18:22] <Alathon> there's a botch in there
[18:22] <Mani> (Oh. DR the botch.)
[18:23] <Mani> roll 1d20+21
[18:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{23}
[18:23] <Alathon> yeesh
[18:23] <Alathon> but only one hit
[18:23] <Reis> (Well... at least it's not a botch. :P )
[18:23] <Alathon> roll 3d10+10 ap1
[18:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d10+10 ap1 --> [ 3d10=20 ]{30}
[18:23] <Alathon> so 20 real damage
[18:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30 shoot
[18:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[18:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 shoot --> [ 1d20=5 ]{35}
[18:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[18:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{41}
[18:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{23}
[18:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+15
[18:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{31}
[18:26] <Alathon> roll 1d20+26
[18:26] <Alathon> roll 1d20+24
[18:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{31}
[18:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{34}
[18:26] <Alathon> roll 1d20+22
[18:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{41}
[18:26] <Alathon> this time, Yuuno's a bit more on the ball, and manages to land a shot ;p
[18:26] <Alathon> roll 5d8+10
[18:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=16 ]{26}
[18:26] <Reis> (Yay!)
[18:26] <Alathon> The gun angel staggers, but stands.
[18:26] <Mani> (Not two?)
[18:26] <Alathon> end of round, top of the order. Reis is up
[18:26] <Alathon> oh right
[18:26] <Alathon> looked at them backwards
[18:27] <Alathon> roll 5d8+10
[18:27] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=25 ]{35}
[18:27] <Alathon> it actually collapses
[18:27] <Reis> (Heh.)
[18:27] <Alathon> both are now on the ground, bleeding
[18:27] <Alathon> in the darkness it's hard to tell exactly what species they are, but they look humanish
[18:27] <Alathon> no glowy halo shit
[18:27] * Reis runs up to the gunners, giving a quick check to see whether they're regenerating.
[18:27] <Mani> ("I'm still alive!" "Actually, I got an another hit on you. Look at these rolls." "Oh..." *dies*)
[18:27] * Mani decapitates them to be sure and then heals herself.
[18:28] <Reis> (Heheh. Gotta love retcon-pain, dontcha? :P )
[18:28] <Alathon> they're not regenerating now, that's for sure.
[18:28] <Reis> (Were they before? :P )
[18:28] <Mani> "Damn... I've got to get a healing spell that can be used more than once per day on a person..."
[18:29] * Mani energizes her swords.
[18:29] <Mani> "We ready to move on?"
[18:29] * Reis nods and boards the Mani express.
[18:29] <Mani> "Try floating while I carry you, Reis."
[18:30] * Reis does so.
[18:30] <Reis> "Right... hopefully that'll lighten the load a bit."
[18:30] <Alathon> You'll find that there's still some 'drag', and Reis feels kinda.. strestched
[18:30] * Mani starts running, slowly at first, in case this doesn't work as hoped.
[18:30] <Alathon> but you can move much closer to your max speed
[18:30] <Alathon> Yuuno flies, very close to the ground, alongside you.
[18:31] <Alathon> in the distance, there are bright flashes and magical detonations in the night sky over the town ahead
[18:31] <Alathon> Several people approach you, running.
[18:31] <Alathon> Well.. they're coming in your general direction
[18:31] * Reis gets as good a view of them as she can.
[18:31] <Alathon> looks more like they're heading a bit leftish.
[18:31] <Mani> (Do they look like they want to attack us?)
[18:32] * Mani comms Sheena: "Had a little fight. How are things with you?"
[18:32] <Mani> "Looks like civilians running for their lives."
[18:33] <Sheena> Com: Shot to shit, and droping birdies.. hang on a moment, i got two little angel to make shit there pants
[18:34] <Mani> ("She says she's playing golf...")
[18:34] <Reis> (Heh.)
[18:35] <Alathon> They look liek they wanna get away from you and anyone else who looks like a freak
[18:35] * Mani lets them.
[18:36] * Reis looks up at the aerial battle, can we see enough to be shooting by?
[18:36] <Alathon> No
[18:36] <Reis> (Darn)
[18:37] <Alathon> as you get closer, you'll see more citizens fleeing the town
[18:37] <Alathon> the reason is obvious as a number of energy bolts crash down into it from above
[18:38] <Reis> (What kind of energy bolts?)
[18:39] <Alathon> several different hues.. look like straight magical blasts, unguided
[18:41] <Alathon> sorry for the delay, closing things out in the other room
[18:41] <Alathon> if enough time passes, you'll get in on that fight too
[18:41] <Reis> (Heh)
[18:51] <Reis> (Well, tell me when we see something to kill or do, otherwise I presume we're just closing in more :P )
[18:51] <Alathon> *nod*
[18:51] <Alathon> actually, a round has passed
[18:52] <Alathon> now you can see that there are also flashes of light in the streets below
[18:52] <Alathon> you're two rounds out from the fight
[18:52] <Mani> (Just 1 round?)
[18:55] <Alathon> there's been some back-and-forth on rules
[18:57] <Alathon> There's an enormous golden flash in the village
[18:58] <Alathon> which resolves into a brillian golden column of energy streaking up into the sky at a slgiht angle.. then hitting something high in the sky and spreading out against it in what loosk like a big golden 'T'
[18:59] * Reis blinks. "... Wow?"
[19:00] <Mani> "Hm."
[19:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What'd it hit?"
[19:00] <Alathon> Yuuno snaps her fingers.
[19:00] * Reis 's eyes widen, and she calls Sheena. "Sheena-san, are you all right?"
[19:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Wait, there'd have to be something, or else Mercury could have just flown away"
[19:01] <Alathon> if you keep going, you can make out the fight now
[19:02] <Alathon> there's a figure down in the street, sheena is swinging her enormous energy lance at another
[19:02] * Sheena could be heard humming to herself over the com with dark heart sizzling in the back gound
[19:02] * Reis takes a shot from Mani's arms if the guy survives Sheena.
[19:03] <Mani> (Total time since the last round of our fight?)
[19:03] <Alathon> 30ish seconds
[19:03] <Alathon> so five rounds
[19:03] <Mani> (Bleh.)
[19:05] <Alathon> Sheena slashes the figure twice, then seems to almost dance around a series of bright gun-sparks
[19:06] <Reis> (He survives the slashing?)
[19:06] <Alathon> Yes
[19:06] <Alathon> or at least, he's still standing
[19:06] * Reis tosses two lances of silver light into his skull from Mani's arms.
[19:06] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[19:06] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{47}
[19:06] <Reis> roll 1d20+25
[19:06] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{44}
[19:09] <Kuonji> (lol)
[19:09] <Alathon> they arrive just in time to hit the figure as Sheena is slashing it, and it goes down.
[19:09] <Alathon> At this point, you can consider the party reunited
[19:10] <Alathon> You see blood spray from one of the figure's necks, the one that was already down, and it's head falls off.
[19:10] * Reis sticks with Mani while we're soaring along at max speed, looking around quickly to get an idea of the situation.
[19:10] <Sheena> "Ahh, was fun"
[19:10] <Mani> (Is Venus in sight?)
[19:11] <Kuonji> ( I take it there's no need to coup #2?)
[19:11] <Alathon> since you're looking for her, it's easy to find her
[19:11] <Sheena> (any senshi level magic around to sheena's eyes?)
[19:11] <Alathon> it's been a few seconds since the golden energy blast
[19:11] <Alathon> and you'll see her streak straight up into the air from further into the village
[19:11] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Sheena!@"
[19:11] <Sheena> "Yes?"
[19:11] <Alathon> Yuuno reacts badly to Sheena's rather cut up appearance."
[19:11] <Alathon> Yuuno sputters
[19:11] * Sheena got a fresh kill smile on
[19:11] <Alathon> Yuuno then looks over at Mani.
[19:11] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Mani, heal her!"
[19:12] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I mean, um.. please."
[19:12] <Mani> "No problem."
[19:12] * Reis gets out of the way once the group's all together, wincing at Sheena's appearance.
[19:12] * Mani tosses Reis up into the air and heals Sheena.
[19:12] <Mani> (+50)
[19:12] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[19:12] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{20}
[19:12] <Reis> dr
[19:12] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[19:12] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{30}
[19:13] * Sheena closes her eyes for a moment as the healing hits
[19:13] <Sheena> "Ahh.. Took me a bit to hit my groveee, "
[19:14] <Mani> (Are we still in combat time?)
[19:14] * Reis looks deeper into the village, and grins slightly. "Guys, I think I've found the source of the wards. Break that and we're done."
[19:14] <Alathon> No
[19:14] <Alathon> End here
[19:14] <Sheena> "Shall we reis?"
[19:14] <Alathon> (you can add a little banter if you want)
[19:14] <Mani> Apparently, we shall not.
[19:14] <Sheena> heh
[19:14] <Sheena> Sheena got to choppa shit for once, was great
[19:14] <Reis> Heh, good ta hear.
[19:15] <Reis> Did Venus just race off?
[19:15] <Kuonji> (needs more dakka)
[19:15] <Reis> I'm still gleeing at the jedi moment, though.
[19:16] <Kuonji> (jedi moment?)
[19:16] <Reis> Up with the gun angels in the surprise round, eight shots at me and none hit :P
[19:16] * Sheena got shot to shit
[19:17] * Mani definitely needs to improve her ranged dodge more.
[19:17] <Kuonji> (ditto)
[19:18] <Reis> It's kinda weird having Reis as one of the more survivable characters all of a sudden.
[19:18] <Sheena> well sheena tanked it
[19:18] <Sheena> i just got have the reflect feet
[19:18] <Sheena> so couldnt block with the uber stafff with out ruining the paint
[19:18] <Sheena> *dont have
[19:18] <Reis> Heh. I had a perfect opportunity to use it, and no action. ;_;
[19:18] <Alathon> deflect
[19:19] <Alathon> but yeah

Session 72

[12:11] <Alathon> anyways
[12:11] <Alathon> we got three, so lets get started
[12:11] <Alathon> and he'll presumably be back soonish
[12:11] <Alathon> we left off last week pretty much smack dab in the middle of the fight
[12:11] <Yarrow> I hope he isn't feeding that drug habit of his... ;)
[12:12] <Alathon> The team had been briefed on the missions they were going to do, together with Mercury..
[12:12] <Ataru> yeah
[12:12] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[12:12] <Ataru> I can't believe my mom thought I was a junkie
[12:12] <Ataru> jesus
[12:12] * Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis
[12:12] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[12:12] <Yarrow> Sorry, mom, I have to come clean. I'm addicted to food.
[12:13] <Alathon> instead, you've been deployed ad-hoc to rescue Mercury in concert with Venus
[12:13] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:13] <Alathon> After a quick teleport to the location, you found that there was a powerful anti-teleport ward up; at least, powerful in the sense that Sheena was unable to dispel it
[12:14] <Alathon> Due to speed considerations, the party was temporarily split up, Mani Reis and Yuuno in one team, and Sakura and Sheena in the other
[12:14] <Sheena> (and the dice had nothing to do with it.)
[12:15] <Alathon> Both encountered resistance along the way, but have now formed up in the street in the village below the battle propper
[12:15] <Alathon> above your heads, Sailors Mercury and Venus are duking it out with a substantial number of 'angels'
[12:15] <Reis> (And Reis spotted the apparent source of the wards)
[12:15] <Alathon> On the ground, Sheena has divined the general area of the source of the anti-teleport ward
[12:15] <Alathon> (oh right, it was reis)
[12:16] <Alathon> Several of the team members are a little bruised, but after Mani's healing, the team is mostly intact
[12:17] <Alathon> which is to say..
[12:17] <Sheena> (not shot to shit any more, yay!)
[12:18] * Mani (~opera@lunarnet-A243C0D0.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[12:18] <Alathon> Reis is full, Yuuno is full, Kuonji is 177/204, Sheena is 138/142, and Mani is 180/216
[12:19] <Kuonji> damn
[12:19] <Alathon> doh
[12:19] <Kuonji> still on my 18 sheet then?
[12:19] <Alathon> no
[12:19] <Alathon> just reading off last sessions combat record
[12:21] <Alathon> we'll give Mani five minutes, then continue
[12:23] <Sheena> roger
[12:27] <Sheena> kinda odd, normaly yarrow dont lose conn
[12:27] <Alathon> yeah
[12:27] <Reis> (Indeed, hope she can get back soon)
[12:27] <Alathon> anyways
[12:27] <Alathon> damn
[12:27] <Alathon> yeah, I'd kinda like to have her here at thes tart
[12:28] <Alathon> since you need to make decisions about what you're gonna do
[12:29] * Mani (~opera@ool-44c5854b.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[12:29] <Alathon> (ah, good)
[12:29] <Reis> (Welcome back, Yarrow)
[12:29] <Alathon> (net burp?)
[12:30] <Mani> (Windows near-lockup.)
[12:30] <Reis> (Gah)
[12:30] <Alathon> (no doubt due to driver issues or some third party application....)
[12:31] <Alathon> (;p)
[12:31] <Sheena> (reboot?)
[12:31] <Alathon> anyways
[12:31] <Alathon> picking up where we left off, the party is in pretty good shape, and has just got together a couple moments ago, in a street under the midair battle.
[12:31] <Mani> (No, I managed to stabilize it without forcing a powerdown. Rebooting wasn't an option.)
[12:31] <Alathon> Yuuno looks relieved once Sheena's got some healing.
[12:32] <Mani> (I probably should reboot during the break, though.)
[12:32] <Alathon> (nod)
[12:34] <Alathon> Yuuno then looks up at the battle.
[12:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Daaaamn.."
[12:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Kinda takes me back to the day.."
[12:34] <Alathon> She trails off.
[12:34] * Sheena Is watching the fun to.
[12:34] <Sheena> "THat looks like fun.."
[12:34] <Alathon> It's hard to tell exactly where Mercury is, other than by the swarm of angels following her.
[12:34] <Mani> "We should break the teleportation ward."
[12:35] <Alathon> Venus is easier, since she's lashing out with what looks to be a glowing golden strand of.. something.
[12:35] <Kuonji> "Well, it doesn't look like I'll be able to do much."
[12:35] * Reis looks up, nodding. "Should we just fire straight from here, or approach it at close range?"
[12:35] * Reis whistles at the show.
[12:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Have you got a clear line-of-sight?"
[12:35] <Sheena> "Should we give them some cover?"
[12:36] <Sheena> "I could probly pull a few targets off them"
[12:36] <Mani> "If we try to take it out from here and fail, we're going to get a lot of interference really quickly."
[12:36] <Alathon> One of Venus's attacks connects repeatedly on the same target, and it begins falling to the ground.
[12:36] <Mani> (Where is the source of the ward?)
[12:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "A *lot* of interference!"
[12:37] <Kuonji> "I think I'll run over and make sure that thing is dead, any objections?"
[12:37] * Reis nods. "We can probably expect that to happen, yeah..."
[12:37] <Sheena> "It's a lot farther then it looks sakura, lets take care of the shield first."
[12:37] <Reis> "I can get LOS, we don't have it at the moment though."
[12:38] <Mani> "Where is it, exactly?"
[12:38] * Reis points. "I don't have an EXACT range, I'd need to triangulate it. It feels like at least a few blocks, though."
[12:39] <Mani> "Ok, let's go track it down and take a look at it."
[12:39] <Mani> "Lead on, Reis."
[12:40] <Mani> "Everyone spread out a bit but don't wander off."
[12:40] * Reis nods, and starts jogging through the streets, trying to take the nearest path to get towards it.
[12:40] * Mani follows Reis.
[12:40] * Sheena takes her wing positon a bit higher to the side.
[12:41] <Alathon> As you move through the village, you'll see evidence of flight everywhere
[12:41] <Alathon> open doors, houses with lights on but no movement inside.. etc
[12:41] <Alathon> while they may be ruled by a soul-sucking church, apparently these people aren't dumb enough to stick around and watch when there's a battle going on above them
[12:42] <Alathon> It will take about a minute for everyone to reach their destination
[12:42] <Alathon> (those with regen, heal 10 hp)
[12:43] <Alathon> The most properous looking house in the village so far, despite being only one story, and in this one the lights are on and there are figures inside
[12:43] <Sheena> "Shall we knock?"
[12:43] <Alathon> the drapes are drawn, but not particularly effective at blocking the silhouettes of at least two 'angels'
[12:43] <Mani> "Any shield on it?"
[12:44] * Kuonji scans the house with his xray vision looking for more
[12:44] * Reis takes aim with her sword, catching her breath and narrowing her eyes slightly. "Not that I can see, there is some magic inside though."
[12:46] <Mani> "Ok... I think we should go in rather than try to take out the entire building and risk burying the source, intact, under rubble."
[12:46] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[12:46] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{26}
[12:47] * Reis purses her lips. "Two sword angels inside... and a man in black... He looks like Celeste."
[12:47] <Sheena> "The antiteleport system is stronger around here.. there's shielded zone inside the house as well."
[12:47] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+17
[12:47] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{37}
[12:47] <Reis> (Oh my GOD. Wow.)
[12:47] <Mani> "Shielded as in stopping ranged attack?"
[12:47] <Kuonji> (hot damn that's a hell of a spot roll O_O)
[12:48] <Sheena> "Not sure, its probly protecting what ever is making the wards"
[12:48] <Kuonji> "I see five people inside."
[12:48] * Reis purses her lips. "The non-angel seems... translucent? I can see through him."
[12:49] <Mani> "Ok, sounds like we definitely need to go in, then..."
[12:49] <Kuonji> "They're all rather close, but two are slightly farther back."
[12:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "We could clear the house away from around 'em before going after that magical barrier.."
[12:49] <Alathon> Yuuno suddenly looks amused.
[12:50] <Alathon> She keeps whatever amused her to herself though.
[12:50] <Mani> "Mmm... dunno about that. What if the barrier is reflective? And if the place collapses, it'll make it hard for us to get to it."
[12:50] <Sheena> "If what reis said is right you dont want to be stuck inside with them"
[12:50] <Alathon> Yuuno: "there's that."
[12:50] <Mani> "Explain."
[12:52] <Sheena> (what did reis mean?)
[12:53] <Mani> (I was asking Sheena whan she meant.)
[12:53] <Reis> (Reis meant that she saw a guy dressed in black who reminded her of Celeste, and that he is translucent)
[12:54] <Sheena> "It could just be a look, but if there is an umbera in there. letting them touch you would be bad. So be carefull"
[12:54] <Sheena> "We really should get moving tho, "
[12:54] <Mani> "Yeah. Ok, can you guys open up the facing wall without taking down the whole building?"
[12:54] <Reis> (Can we Ala?)
[12:55] <Alathon> Um.. hm
[12:55] <Alathon> Reasonably, yes.
[12:55] <Alathon> Fly up a little and you can angle a blast to take out a wall without the whole building, or the opposite wall
[12:55] <Mani> "If you can manage to get the angels in the shot, all the better, but not taking the place down is more important."
[12:56] * Reis purses her lips, gauging it, and nods. "Yes, with a little altitude differential we can get it from the side."
[12:56] <Kuonji> "Want me to sneak around back?"
[12:56] <Mani> "Sounds good, Sakura."
[12:56] <Reis> (CAN we get the angels with a Spreading shot at the same time without busting the building? :P )
[12:56] <Mani> "Sheena, is energy draining the danger from the one in black?"
[12:56] * Kuonji begins sneaking around to the back
[12:57] <Sheena> "Might be, we're just going on looks here i duno what that is"
[12:57] <Kuonji> roll 2#1d20+22 hide and move silently
[12:57] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 2#1d20+22 hide and move silently --> [ 1d20=9 ]{31}, [ 1d20=16 ]{38}
[12:57] <Mani> "Ok. Guess I should try to keep his attention if we have to fight him."
[12:58] * Sheena flys up to target the wall removal.
[12:58] * Reis floats up to take aim.
[12:58] * Mani moves to the side a bit so she can go in after the wall's gone.
[12:58] <Reis> (Ala, can we do the Spreading bit without levelling the house?)
[12:59] <Alathon> (yes, if you angle it right)
[12:59] <Alathon> (since you're angling it against a stationary structure though, that's not too hard)
[12:59] <Reis> (Righto)
[13:00] <Mani> (Watch it turn out that we could have just taken out the ward by blasting the place with a combo attack...)
[13:00] <Reis> (Heh.)
[13:00] <Reis> (Well, I was considering that to kick off the session :P )
[13:01] <Sheena> (im temped to start a mach 2 dog fight. but then i remember the dice hate me)
[13:02] <Sheena> (shall we blast? whats the wqait)
[13:02] <Alathon> I dunno what you're waiting for ;p
[13:02] <Reis> (Good point.)
[13:03] <Reis> "Go?"
[13:03] <Sheena> "Say hello to the good people dark heart"
[13:04] <Sheena> Dark Heart: Knock knock"
[13:04] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27
[13:04] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{43}
[13:04] * Reis braces Swordbreaker at her side, and a single cartridge is popped, the action cycles, and she swings forward. "Eisentau."
[13:04] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+21
[13:04] <Reis> roll 1d20+32
[13:04] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{40}
[13:04] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{44}
[13:04] <Reis> roll 1d20+27
[13:04] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{43}
[13:04] <Mani> (The roof promptly slams into the floor. *splat!*)
[13:05] * Reis fires a pair of wider-than-usual beams, attempting to smash down the front wall and hit the baddies for good measure.
[13:06] <Alathon> go ahead and roll damage
[13:06] <Alathon> all attacks hit (roughly) as intended
[13:06] <Reis> roll 2#7d8 AP 2
[13:06] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 2#7d8 AP 2 --> [ 7d8=24 ]{24}, [ 7d8=35 ]{35}
[13:07] <Sheena> Roll 2#8d8+4 ap
[13:07] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 2#8d8+4 ap --> [ 8d8=41 ]{45}, [ 8d8=49 ]{53}
[13:08] <Reis> (... My rolls were fairly unspectacular. I guess Sheena had to get the good ones :P )
[13:09] <Alathon> *nod*
[13:09] <Alathon> either way, it's sufficient to rip the front off a wooden building.
[13:09] <Reis> (Does it hurt anyone?)
[13:09] <Alathon> Without taking out anything too important either, as the entire thing doesn't come crashing down.
[13:09] <Alathon> No
[13:09] <Alathon> or at least, not as far as you know
[13:09] <Reis> (Heh, roger)
[13:09] <Alathon> after a couple momens the energy beams fade and the dust settles.
[13:10] <Alathon> Those in the air don't really have a view
[13:10] <Mani> (Is anyone caught in an embarrassing situation? "Eeek!")
[13:11] <Alathon> nope
[13:11] <Alathon> and, init
[13:11] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[13:11] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{11}
[13:11] <Reis> (...)
[13:12] <Mani> roll 1d20+9
[13:12] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{21}
[13:13] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+2
[13:13] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{4}
[13:13] <Sheena> ...
[13:13] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+14
[13:13] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{16}
[13:13] <Kuonji> god damn
[13:13] <Mani> (What's with the 2s?)
[13:13] <Kuonji> (no shit)
[13:13] <Reis> (Someone HATES us tonight.)
[13:14] <Reis> (Apparently, it wasn't a lucky 7.)
[13:14] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+7 sword angels
[13:14] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+7 sword angels --> [ 1d20=6 ]{13}, [ 1d20=20 ]{27}
[13:14] <Mani> (Even the better roll ends in 2.)
[13:14] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+13 ???
[13:14] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+13 ??? --> [ 1d20=1 ]{14}, [ 1d20=15 ]{28}
[13:14] <Alathon> roll 1d20+9 that guy
[13:14] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+9 that guy --> [ 1d20=11 ]{20}
[13:15] <Kuonji> (That Man???)
[13:15] <Kuonji> (are pedro and nabeshin going to showup?)
[13:16] <Alathon> (you'd better hope not, because the Plot Hole would be backing them up)
[13:16] <Reis> (Only when the Minoriteam does.)
[13:16] <Alathon> anyways, let's see..
[13:16] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+25
[13:16] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{27}
[13:16] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+20
[13:16] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{29}
[13:17] <Kuonji> (... seriously, what the fuck is with these 2s?)
[13:17] <Reis> (Well, it IS a bad guy's roll)
[13:17] <Mani> (Kuonji is a bad guy now?)
[13:17] <Reis> (Eh? Ah, oopsie.)
[13:17] <Reis> (I missed the one rolling and presumed it was the first init :P )
[13:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+5 yuuno
[13:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+5 yuuno --> [ 1d20=11 ]{16}
[13:20] <Alathon> alright
[13:20] <Alathon> Fight order is..
[13:20] * Alathon changes topic to 'Sword Angel #1, ??? #1, Mani, That Guy, Kuonji, Yuuno, Sword Angel #2, Reis, Sheena, Gun Angel #2'
[13:21] <Alathon> (... er.. that gun angel was supposed to be ??, but I think you'll all figure that one out ;p )
[13:21] <Reis> (Heh.)
[13:21] <Kuonji> (am I attacking 1 or 2?)
[13:21] <Alathon> and, before anyone else goes
[13:21] <Alathon> (#1)
[13:21] <Alathon> Kuonji's got a surprise round
[13:22] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30-4 flatfooted
[13:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30-4 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=6 ]{32}
[13:22] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28-4 flatfooted
[13:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28-4 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=2 ]{26}
[13:22] <Kuonji> (I'm about to get gangrapes, aren't I?)
[13:22] <Kuonji> (did that take invis into account too? >_>)
[13:22] <Alathon> (roll damage on the second one)
[13:22] <Alathon> (yes)
[13:22] <Reis> (At least the 2s aren't JUST for us.)
[13:22] <Kuonji> (*gangraped)
[13:22] <Kuonji> (so, one hit with sneak?)
[13:23] <Mani> (Ironically, Sakura ends up getting gangrene.)
[13:23] <Alathon> (yeah, on the head)
[13:23] <Reis> (Oh baby, that'll hurt)
[13:23] <Kuonji> roll 6d10
[13:23] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 6d10 --> [ 6d10=25 ]{25}
[13:23] <Kuonji> roll 6d6
[13:23] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=19 ]{19}
[13:23] <Kuonji> (... that's pretty weaksauce right there)
[13:23] <Alathon> Everyone sees some blood spray out of midair behind the sword angels and the guy
[13:24] <Alathon> Aaaand.. start of the round.
[13:24] <Reis> (Do we have an angle at it from up here? Ie to see?)
[13:24] <Alathon> (no)
[13:24] <Alathon> (I shoulda said.. mani and yuuno)
[13:24] <Reis> (Righto)
[13:24] <Alathon> Sword angel #1... does nothing. He/She/It just stands there, flaming twohanded sword at the ready.
[13:24] <Alathon> Gun Angel #1 however is not just standing by idly while someone cuts him up.
[13:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30-4
[13:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30-4 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{43}
[13:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25-4
[13:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25-4 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{32}
[13:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20-4
[13:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20-4 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{22}
[13:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+15-4
[13:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+15-4 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{31}
[13:25] <Kuonji> (well I'm fucked)
[13:25] <Alathon> Yuuno and Mani see a series of white bolts streak out.... towards the back of the building, away from the party.
[13:25] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+25
[13:25] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{39}
[13:25] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+23
[13:25] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{36}
[13:25] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+21
[13:25] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{41}
[13:26] <Alathon> two dodged, one hit, one crit
[13:26] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+19
[13:26] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{29}
[13:26] <Alathon> roll 3d8+10 AP 1
[13:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+10 AP 1 --> [ 3d8=14 ]{24}
[13:26] <Alathon> roll 6d8+10 AP 1
[13:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 6d8+10 AP 1 --> [ 6d8=38 ]{48}
[13:26] <Kuonji> (oh, missed the last one)
[13:26] <Alathon> Those all easily pierce your armor, and fuckin' hurt.
[13:26] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[13:27] <Alathon> That Guy, in abyssal: "How crass.. doesn't anybody knock anymore?"
[13:27] <Kuonji> (72 damage total?)
[13:27] <Alathon> (yes)
[13:27] * Mani goes for the nearest sword angel.
[13:27] <Mani> (1 set of attacks, I assume?)
[13:28] <Kuonji> (HP at 115)
[13:28] <Alathon> (nod)
[13:28] <Mani> roll 3#1d20+33
[13:28] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{38}, [ 1d20=17 ]{50}, [ 1d20=15 ]{48}
[13:28] <Alathon> It attempts to parry..
[13:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36+2
[13:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36+2 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{43}
[13:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34+2
[13:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34+2 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{51}
[13:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32+2
[13:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32+2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{43}
[13:29] <Alathon> It manages to block the first two, but Mani's third cut snakes past its guard.
[13:29] <Mani> roll 1d10+9 AP1
[13:29] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d10+9 AP1 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{11}
[13:30] <Alathon> Despite the power suffusing it, your sword faces substantial resistance.. but pushes through to cut into the 'angel's flesh.
[13:30] <Mani> roll 3d8
[13:30] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=9 ]{9}
[13:30] <Kuonji> (...)
[13:30] <Kuonji> (the dice want us dead)
[13:30] <Alathon> (maybe it's the GM that wants you dead ;p )
[13:30] <Kuonji> (that or Al has them rigged because he's tired of DMing)
[13:30] <Kuonji> (yeah...)
[13:30] <Alathon> (if you're gonna go with conspiracy theories, shoot for the top)
[13:31] * Alathon hands out tin-foil hats.
[13:31] <Mani> (No point shooting for the top with the way AlaBot's been acting today.)
[13:31] <Alathon> So.. that guy, pushes himself off the desk with his hands.
[13:31] <Kuonji> (I'd hardly call the DM going for a TPK a conspiracy theory, it's really pretty plausible :P)
[13:32] <Alathon> That Guy, in abyssal, "I am certain that you perceive some sort of duty.. but good help really is hard to find."
[13:32] <Alathon> That Guy, "If you deprive me of mine, I will fuck you all up beyond repair."
[13:32] <Alathon> He says this in an urbane tone, despite the cuss word.
[13:33] <Alathon> Delays action.
[13:33] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[13:33] <Mani> <abyssal> "Very well. Leave now and we'll let you go unmolested."
[13:33] <Kuonji> (... great, he's like level 35 isn't he?)
[13:34] <Alathon> That Guy, in abyssal, "You have taken my measure, and I yours. Please do not embarass us both with ultimatums."
[13:34] <Sheena> (sheena hear any of this?)
[13:34] <Alathon> You can hear it all, you're not too far away, but not see any of it
[13:34] <Alathon> Mani is out of your line of sight at this point, as are the sword angels and the guy.
[13:35] <Mani> <abyssal> "Oh, that was simply a suggestion that would suit us and not risk your valuable help."
[13:36] <Mani> <a> "If you'd rather stay and fight, so be it."
[13:36] <Sheena> Abyssal "Could just drop this ward, insted of making us kill every thing in it"
[13:37] <Alathon> That guy shrugs a little.. he doesn't seem terribly moved.
[13:37] <Mani> <a> "I suppose that would be acceptable, also, in which case we would leave."
[13:37] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up.
[13:37] <Alathon> That guy seems to consider this, but doesn't act.
[13:39] <Kuonji> (hold action)
[13:39] <Alathon> Yuuno is up.
[13:40] <Alathon> She starts to cast a spell, seems to stop, then casts something else.
[13:41] <Alathon> Yuuno, sharply: "Let it happen!"
[13:42] <Alathon> As she completes a spell, a field of.. grey-green seems to emanate from her, and you all feel a sort of 'yank'
[13:42] <Alathon> Do you try to resist it?
[13:42] <Reis> (Nope)
[13:43] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+10 gun angels
[13:43] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+10 gun angels --> [ 1d20=2 ]{12}, [ 1d20=14 ]{24}
[13:43] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+10 sword angels
[13:43] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+10 sword angels --> [ 1d20=9 ]{19}, [ 1d20=8 ]{18}
[13:43] <Mani> (I suppose not, unless I have some sort of indication she's under someone else's control.)
[13:43] <Alathon> Sakura, Sheena?
[13:43] <Alathon> y/n?
[13:44] <Alathon> if you do choose to resist, will save
[13:44] <Alathon> DC 26
[13:44] <Kuonji> (O_O)
[13:44] <Kuonji> (Sakura decides to trust yuuno)
[13:44] <Sheena> (nope)
[13:44] <Alathon> Okay
[13:45] <Alathon> the entire world seems to go... grey-green. All colors are dulled, and tinted faintly greenish.. as is the sky.
[13:45] <Alathon> that guy vanishes.
[13:45] <Kuonji> ("Everyone's dead, you've all been suckered!")
[13:45] <Alathon> Mani, Sakura, and Yuuno will see that the rest remain.
[13:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yes! No inter-dim wards!"
[13:46] <Alathon> Yuuno continues, in a somewhat commanding voice: "Wrap this up quickly, I'm only good for a couple minutes!"
[13:46] <Sheena> "Hey, isn't this?"
[13:46] * Reis grins. "Roger that, Yuuno-sensei!"
[13:46] <Mani> "So, we have some time without the boss to interfere?"
[13:46] <Alathon> Sword Angel #2 is a little discombobulated, but figures it should go for the nearest enemy
[13:46] <Alathon> so it rushes Mani, and takes a wide swing at her with its burning sword.
[13:47] <Kuonji> (can I use my action now? ^^)
[13:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33
[13:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{52}
[13:47] <Alathon> (after this one, sure)
[13:47] <Reis> (Which Sword Angel is Mani on? #1 or #2?)
[13:47] <Kuonji> (hot damn, I need to not tangle with those guys O_O)
[13:47] <Mani> roll 1d20+36
[13:47] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{55}
[13:47] <Alathon> (mani attacked #1, this is #2)
[13:47] <Reis> (Roger)
[13:47] <Alathon> Mani evades the Sword Angel's swing.
[13:47] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[13:49] <Kuonji> (shit, what's it take to disarm someone again?)
[13:49] <Reis> (-4 in melee)
[13:49] <Alathon> (-4 in melee and a strength check)
[13:50] <Alathon> (accuracy can decrease or negate teh penalty)
[13:50] <Sheena> (days like this make me miss mook bashing)
[13:50] <Kuonji> (ah yeah, no point since I have no strength)
[13:50] * Kuonji takes another two shots at #1's head
[13:51] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+25
[13:51] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{36}

[13:51] <Sheena> (Fuck bad timeing)
[13:51] <Kuonji> (god damn, I need to stop calling shots)
[13:51] <Sheena> (can we take a break kinda soonish?)
[13:51] <Alathon> (what do you mean, in like half an hour?)
[13:52] <Reis> (What's up?)
[13:52] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34-4
[13:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34-4 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{46}
[13:52] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32-4
[13:52] <Sheena> (Well i got called away just *now* and im like wtf? )
[13:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32-4 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{45}
[13:52] <Alathon> Whatever kuonji was aiming for evaded his attacks easily.
[13:52] <Sheena> (Meh, nm ill just take my turn, and likly miss one)
[13:52] <Sheena> (shoudlnt take long)
[13:52] <Alathon> (okay)
[13:52] <Alathon> Reis is up
[13:53] * Reis narrows her eyes, and attempts to teleport.
[13:53] <Alathon> You succeed
[13:53] * Reis drops into place behind Sword #1, making a valiant effort at sawing his head off.
[13:53] <Reis> roll 1d20+33
[13:53] <Alathon> Incidentally, here's what That Guy looks like: http://www.alathon.net/images/Fei_Long_ ... mortia.png
[13:53] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{44}

[13:54] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 8d10 AP 2 --> [ 8d10=46 ]{46}
[13:55] <Alathon> Your cut meets little resistance as it cuts the back of the Angel's head, drawing blood.
[13:55] <Alathon> It's still in pretty good condition though.
[13:55] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[13:55] * Reis grins as she brings her blade back.
[13:56] * Sheena flys to get a view of the angels on mani

[13:56] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 Bind --> [ 1d20=2 ]{29}

[13:56] <Sheena> (its targeted)
[13:56] <Mani> (Well, at least I didn't get hit by a friendly bind again...)

[13:57] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[13:57] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{47}
[13:57] <Alathon> It doesn't have much trouble evading the bind, though.
[13:57] <Sheena> (Dark heart can't target ct citsens remember? ok ill brb)
[13:57] <Alathon> Gun Angel #2 and Sword Angel #1 finally get their shit together, and attack
[13:57] <Mani> (Each other!)

[13:58] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{51}

[14:01] <Alathon> They don't seem to hit as hard as some of the Sword Angels you've fought in the past, but these two seem to be a bit more skilled with their weapons
[14:02] <Alathon> Gun Angel #1 keeps shooting at its invisible assailant.

[14:06] <Alathon> doesn't seem like it
[14:06] <Kuonji> (yo)
[14:06] <Alathon> you're being attacked ;p
[14:06] <Alathon> dodge or be perforated
[14:06] <Reis> (Thankfully, no crits, and all but the first one suck.)

[14:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+10 AP 1 --> [ 3d8=6 ]{16}

[14:10] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26+2 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{29}
[14:10] <Alathon> (and that's a lotta twos)
[14:10] <Alathon> (wow)
[14:10] <Reis> (Yeah, the dicebot hates EVERYONE tonight)
[14:10] <Alathon> (don't ever complain that the PC's get the worst rolls ;p )
[14:10] <Alathon> (though Mani's were close)
[14:10] <Reis> (Kvetching about rolls is part of the experience)
[14:11] <Alathon> It manages to parry most of the attacks, but one slips by, and another knocks the sword right outta its hands.
[14:11] <Alathon> two hits
[14:11] <Mani> roll 2#1d10+9 AP 1
[14:11] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d10+9 AP 1 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{14}, [ 1d10=4 ]{13}
[14:11] <Alathon> both penetrate
[14:11] <Mani> roll 6d8
[14:11] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=18 ]{18}
[14:11] <Mani> (Flaming sword sets the place on fire and we all die.)
[14:11] <Alathon> The cuts hurt it, but it's still in fair condition.
[14:12] <Alathon> (that's be highly ironic, but unfortunately it takes a fair number of rounds for a fire to spread, without like.. gasoline involved ;p )
[14:12] <Reis> (Heh)
[14:12] <Mani> (What a lousy damage roll...)
[14:12] <Alathon> Kuonji is up
[14:13] * Kuonji stabs #1 twice in the gut (no called shot this time)

[14:15] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32-4
[14:15] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32-4 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{38}
[14:15] <Alathon> Unfortunately, it has a lot better luck with the dicebot than you
[14:15] <Alathon> It evades both
[14:15] <Alathon> Yuuno is up
[14:16] <Alathon> Yuuno flies back a bit, then thrusts her staff forward, and shouts out..
[14:16] <Sheena> (sorry about that,)
[14:16] <Alathon> "Stinger sword... execution shift!"
[14:16] <Alathon> (it's cool)
[14:16] <Reis> (Welcome back)
[14:16] <Mani> (An at aside, be very wary about fighting any priest whose holy symbol is a 20 sided die.)
[14:16] <Alathon> And three waves of dozens of glowing green-white blades stream into the room, hitting..
[14:16] <Alathon> all four hostiles, Mani, and Sakura
[14:16] <Reis> (Brrr, indeed)
[14:16] <Alathon> DC 22 for half, 3x each

[14:16] <Reis> (/me blinks? What about me? Aren't I in the room?)
[14:16] <Mani> (Reflex?)
[14:17] <Alathon> (and resi too, yeah, forgot)
[14:17] <Alathon> (yeah, reflex for half)
[14:17] <Alathon> (on each wave)
[14:17] <Reis> roll 3#1d20+11
[14:17] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 3#1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{15}, [ 1d20=10 ]{21}, [ 1d20=14 ]{25}
[14:17] <Mani> roll 3#1d20+9
[14:17] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{26}, [ 1d20=15 ]{24}, [ 1d20=7 ]{16}
[14:17] <Alathon> (god this one fucking spell is gonna take 5 minutes to resolve)
[14:17] <Alathon> three reflex saves kuonji
[14:17] <Sheena> (its a heck of a spell)
[14:17] <Kuonji> (roll 3#1d20+17
[14:18] <Kuonji> roll 3#1d20+17
[14:18] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 3#1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{19}, [ 1d20=3 ]{20}, [ 1d20=7 ]{24}
[14:18] <Alathon> roll 3#1d20+9 sword angel #1
[14:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d20+9 sword angel #1 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{16}, [ 1d20=11 ]{20}, [ 1d20=8 ]{17}
[14:18] <Alathon> roll 3#1d20+9 sword angel #2
[14:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d20+9 sword angel #2 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{15}, [ 1d20=18 ]{27}, [ 1d20=6 ]{15}
[14:18] <Mani> "Yuuno?!"
[14:18] * Reis winces under the impacts, though her shield eats the first one. "What the-?!"
[14:18] <Alathon> roll 3#1d20+16 Gun Angel #1
[14:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d20+16 Gun Angel #1 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{26}, [ 1d20=14 ]{30}, [ 1d20=7 ]{23}

[14:18] <Alathon> okay
[14:19] <Alathon> the swords mostly shatter into sparkles of light against Mani's armor, but a single one manages to penetrate and stick, before fading (11 stunning damage)
[14:19] <Kuonji> (stunning damage? how's that work?)
[14:19] <Alathon> Reis is less lucky, and while her focefield splinters the first wave, the second wave comes in hard, before she evades the third
[14:19] <Reis> (Hm, does that regen faster?)
[14:20] <Reis> (And yeah, I took a total of like 31 damage.)
[14:20] <Alathon> (it's basically the same except there's no lasting physical harm, and you regen it faster if you don't have regen)
[14:20] <Alathon> (and some things are immune to it)
[14:20] <Alathon> (like constructs)
[14:20] <Mani> (And if you do have regen?)
[14:20] <Alathon> (for the purpose of this session it'll be the same, we can discuss after game if it'd be appropriate for stunning damage to be regenned fasted)
[14:21] <Alathon> (I dunno that it really should be, but I'm open to changing th at position if there's a reason)
[14:21] <Kuonji> (wait, so how much damage did I just take?)
[14:21] <Alathon> one sec
[14:21] <Alathon> I'm getting to that
[14:22] <Alathon> Reis eats 31 like she said.
[14:23] <Alathon> Kuonji gets the worst of it, at 71 damage
[14:24] <Alathon> 63 damage on Sword Angel #1
[14:24] <Sheena> (yuuno did say we have only a little time to finsh this)
[14:24] <Mani> (This, not us.)
[14:24] <Alathon> 43 on sword angel #2
[14:24] <Mani> (And she said a few minutes. That's like 30 rounds.)
[14:24] <Kuonji> (29hp)
[14:25] <Reis> (Well, we WERE on the short end, and we definitely took this one better than the bad guys did.)
[14:25] <Sheena> (stuning damage is another hp pool isnt it?)
[14:25] <Alathon> and 31 damage to both gun angels
[14:26] <Alathon> Yuuno, a little panicky: "Sorry, but we need to finish this -- shit, Sakura!"
[14:26] <Alathon> Sword Angel #2 keeps hacking at Mani, regardless of the stinging injuries
[14:26] <Alathon> (no, it's not a different hp pool)
[14:27] <Alathon> (but if you go below 0, and the non-stunning damage doesn't take you below 0, you don'
[14:27] <Alathon> (don't bleed to death)
[14:27] <Alathon> okay
[14:27] <Reis> (Always handy)

[14:28] <Mani> roll 1d20+26
[14:28] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{43}

[14:28] <Alathon> roll 3d8+19
[14:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+19 --> [ 3d8=14 ]{33}
[14:29] <Mani> (Reis's turn?)
[14:29] <Alathon> yes
[14:30] * Reis pops a cartridge and continues sawing away at #1's neck, gritting her teeth slightly.
[14:30] <Reis> roll 1d20+33
[14:30] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{50}

[14:30] <Reis> (And, damage cartridge)
[14:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20 flatfooted
[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=10 ]{30}
[14:31] <Alathon> roll 1d20+18 flatfooted
[14:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+18 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=7 ]{25}

[14:31] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 2#9d10 AP 2 --> [ 9d10=49 ]{49}, [ 9d10=57 ]{57}
[14:31] <Alathon> And now it's in pretty bad shape, blood gushing from it's head and neck.
[14:31] <Alathon> Sheena is up
[14:31] <Sheena> (whats #2's dodge down to?)
[14:32] <Mani> (Hasn't been attacked.)
[14:32] <Reis> (Up at max)
[14:32] <Reis> (So +38)
[14:32] <Alathon> (+36 but yeah)
[14:33] * Sheena gives reis air support and does a fly by
[14:33] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27 charge
[14:33] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 charge --> [ 1d20=19 ]{46}

[14:33] <Sheena> (1)
[14:33] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[14:33] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{38}
[14:33] <Reis> (And that's against like a +20 defence and 37 hp by now, he's doomed)
[14:33] <Alathon> It tries it's best, but can't get out of the way
[14:34] <Sheena> 15d8+4
[14:34] <Sheena> doh

[14:35] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 15d+4 --> [ 15d4=45 ]{45}
[14:35] <Sheena> >_<
[14:35] <Sheena> Roll 15d8+4
[14:35] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 15d8+4 --> [ 15d8=78 ]{82}
[14:35] <Mani> (Of course you got a decent result. That had the power of three rolls!)
[14:35] <Alathon> your blade blade of doom shears through it.
[14:36] <Alathon> it goes down, bleeding.
[14:36] <Alathon> Gun Angel #2 keeps shooting at Yuuno
[14:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[14:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{31}
[14:36] <Sheena> "Eat it!"
[14:36] <Reis> (Or... maybe he doesn't)
[14:36] <Alathon> unfortunately, it's aim sucks
[14:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36
[14:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{41}
[14:37] <Alathon> It almost hits Sword Angel #2
[14:37] * Sheena brings dark heat back up holding the bladed end ready
[14:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Are we killing them or going back with 'em frozen by Sakura?"
[14:38] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[14:38] <Mani> "How long before we have to go back?"
[14:38] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I can hold this for a few minutes, but it'll tucker me out."
[14:39] <Mani> "Don't finish off any downed ones."
[14:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "...and I can't promise that a competent mage couldn't penetrate the field, or collapse it."
[14:39] <Kuonji> (Sakura will be down after Gun Angel one goes most likely)
[14:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... if we have to, we could dim hop out as soon as we return."
[14:39] <Sheena> "Leave them injured but down? Good barging position"
[14:40] * Reis frowns. "Dim hopping out will still leave Mercury and Venus in the dogfight, though..."
[14:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... yeah..."
[14:41] <Alathon> Sword Angel #1 has no particular moral issues to work through, and keeps hacking away at Mani.
[14:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33

[14:41] <Alathon> (wait asec)
[14:41] <Alathon> (no it doesn't)
[14:41] <Alathon> (and it didn't even have a fucking sword regardless)
[14:41] <Reis> (Heh)
[14:41] <Mani> (The morals are willing, but the flesh is weak.)
[14:41] <Kuonji> (heh)
[14:41] <Alathon> Gun Angel #1 shoots at.. someone.
[14:41] <Reis> (And bleeding)

[14:44] * Kuonji falls to the floor unconcious
[14:44] <Reis> (44? No armour?)
[14:44] <Alathon> (you have 17 hp left)
[14:44] <Reis> (Ah, doh)
[14:44] <Alathon> (they're AP 1 and he has 8 total armor)
[14:44] <Mani> (And bounces right back up!)
[14:44] <Reis> (Owie)
[14:45] <Alathon> ( should be for this fight, Kuonji 207/234 217 145 146 147 131 60 61 17)
[14:45] <Kuonji> (uh, 207?)
[14:45] <Kuonji> (I started off at one something according to you earlier)
[14:45] <Alathon> (your hp increase with your level)
[14:45] <Alathon> (yeah, that was for whatever you had listed as your max hp on your previous sheet)
[14:45] <Reis> (Yeah, you levelled thankfully)
[14:46] <Kuonji> (I didn't realise regular hp would go up with the max)
[14:46] <Alathon> (nod)
[14:46] <Alathon> (I don't think it's been addressed before, but I'm saying that they do, Everquest style)
[14:46] <Alathon> anyways
[14:46] * Kuonji almost goes down but holds on by a thread
[14:46] <Alathon> Mani is up
[14:46] <Mani> (Too bad they don't go up Diablo style. ;) )
[14:47] * Mani attacks the remaining sword angel.
[14:47] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+33

[14:47] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{48}

[14:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26+2 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{38}

[14:48] <Mani> roll 2#1d10+9

[14:48] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=34 ]{34}
[14:48] <Mani> (AP1 on the initial swings, of course.)
[14:49] <Alathon> Both cut through it's tough armor, and you see flashes of light emanating from within it's flesh.
[14:49] <Alathon> Those cuts hurt it quite noticeably, but it's still in fair condition.
[14:49] <Alathon> Kuonji is up
[14:50] <Sheena> (ninja vanish?)
[14:50] <Alathon> (... I imagine that dude from the TMNT movie saying that)
[14:50] <Alathon> (and it is awesome)
[14:50] <Reis> (Indeed, not like he can see ya right now. Just don't attack and move somewhere, and he'll have no idea where you went :P )
[14:51] * Kuonji bolts out the back door adheres himself to the outsidewallabove it
[14:51] <Kuonji> (fuck my spacebar)
[14:51] <Mani> (Ah, the nonmagical version. :) )
[14:51] <Reis> (I'd really rather not. It looks uncomfortable)
[14:51] <Alathon> someone shouts, in abyssal, "Pussy!"
[14:51] <Kuonji> (teleport wards arestill up)
[14:51] <Reis> (Nope, they're not)
[14:52] <Mani> (Nah, Reis teleported.)
[14:52] <Reis> (I just teleported into the fight ;) )
[14:52] <Alathon> (Kuonji might not have noticed that though)
[14:52] <Kuonji> (yeah, when the hell did the get brought down?)
[14:52] <Reis> (We're in another dimension, there ARE no wards here ;) )
[14:52] <Mani> (They didn't. We left their area of effect.)
[14:52] <Alathon> anyways, Yuuno decides to go with a less dangerous option, and aims at the thing that was shooting at something.
[14:52] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30-8
[14:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30-8 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{28}

[14:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=16 ]{44}
[14:53] <Alathon> roll 1d20+26 flatfooted
[14:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=12 ]{38}
[14:53] <Alathon> But she just hits air.
[14:53] <Mani> (Wow, that was much less dangerous. No one got hurt at all.)
[14:54] <Alathon> Sword Angel #2 turns a bit, backing away from mani, and swings at Reis
[14:54] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33
[14:54] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{51}

[14:54] <Reis> roll 1d20+36+2+2-2-2-2
[14:54] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+36+2+2-2-2-2 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{41}
[14:54] <Mani> (I suppose he mistakenly thought she'd be an easier target...)
[14:54] <Alathon> dude, include the ring with your base defense roll
[14:54] <Reis> (Righto)
[14:55] <Sheena> (*facepams*)
[14:55] * Reis casually deflects all four blows aside with Swordbreaker, cocking her head slightly. "Bad day?"
[14:55] <Alathon> only show the modifier if there's something situational
[14:55] <Reis> (Roger)
[14:55] <Alathon> like being flatfooted, invisible target, inviisble yourself, etc
[14:55] <Sheena> (i havint had that ring in the rolls for months! damn it! sheena's got the +2 dont she?)
[14:55] <Reis> (Gotcha)
[14:55] <Alathon> and Swordbreaker is more than strong enough to sustain those blocks
[14:55] <Alathon> (I believe she has one, yes)
[14:55] <Reis> (Deflection is a Feat of Win)
[14:55] <Alathon> (a +2 and a featherfall)
[14:56] <Alathon> (reis is wearing a +2 and a infravision)
[14:56] <Alathon> Reis is up
[14:56] * Reis hops back slightly, firing a few ribbons to smack that stupid thing out of his hands.
[14:56] <Sheena> (+4 cloak of hwat as well, but every thing we fight dont seem to fall for the power of bouncy racks)
[14:56] <Reis> roll 1d20+44
[14:56] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{45}
[14:56] <Reis> DR.
[14:56] <Reis> roll 1d20+44
[14:56] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{64}
[14:56] <Reis> ...?
[14:57] <Reis> (Now I'm sad that I was shooting at the SWORD instead of his face)
[14:57] <Mani> (Maybe the sword will hit him in the face.)
[14:57] <Alathon> roll 1d20+10 strength check
[14:57] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+10 strength check --> [ 1d20=6 ]{16}
[14:57] <Alathon> It goes flying.. not into his face, but well out of his grasp.
[14:57] <Reis> roll 8d8+4d8+4d8+4d8+4d8 AP 2 Did I destroy the damn thing?
[14:57] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 8d8+4d8+4d8+4d8+4d8 AP 2 Did I destroy the damn thing? --> [ 8d8=36 4d8=12 4d8=19 4d8=15 4d8=17 ]{99}
[14:58] <Reis> (I think I cut IT to ribbons.)
[14:58] <Alathon> Nope, none of those hits were strong enough to break it
[14:58] <Reis> (Awww.)
[14:58] <Alathon> you need a single hit that exceeds its hp
[14:58] <Alathon> and even with AP 2
[14:58] <Mani> (But you got a nice juggle combo.)
[14:58] <Alathon> it's 24*3 = 72 hp
[14:58] <Reis> (Heh)
[14:59] <Reis> (Remind me to pop a pair of APs next time I do this.)
[14:59] <Alathon> Sheena is up
[14:59] * Sheena holds dark heart and its gigiblade ready
[15:00] <Sheena> "Your boss wants you boys alive.. does he get what he wants or do we keep dancing"
[15:00] <Alathon> (you just charged #1, and #2 is right near it, can't charge it without getting distance)
[15:00] <Sheena> (in abyssal) or whats needed
[15:00] <Alathon> (delaying action?)
[15:00] <Sheena> (yes)
[15:00] <Alathon> alright
[15:01] <Alathon> voice, in abyssal, "The elf! Get the elf, you inbred morons!"
[15:01] <Sheena> (he is unarmed and srounded)
[15:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{48}
[15:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[15:01] <Sheena> "Wrong anser"
[15:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{30}
[15:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[15:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{32}
[15:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+15
[15:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{17}
[15:01] <Mani> (Who is? There are two gun angels and 1 sword angel left.)
[15:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34-4
[15:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34-4 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{43}
[15:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32-4
[15:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32-4 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{38}
[15:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30-4
[15:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30-4 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{28}
[15:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28-4
[15:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28-4 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{37}
[15:01] <Alathon> Two more shots splatter against Yuuno's forcefield.
[15:01] <Alathon> It's fading, but still up.
[15:01] <Sheena> (sheena moves then)
[15:02] <Alathon> alright
[15:02] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27
[15:02] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{31}
[15:02] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+21
[15:02] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{38}
[15:02] <Mani> (+22?)
[15:02] <Sheena> (mybad)
[15:02] <Alathon> (say who you're attacking first please)
[15:02] <Sheena> (sword 2)
[15:02] * Reis turns slightly to the side, speaking in Abyssal to... empty space. "You don't want to do that."
[15:03] <Alathon> roll 1d20+24
[15:03] <Alathon> roll 1d20+22
[15:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{25}
[15:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{25}
[15:03] <Alathon> unfortunately for the sword angel, it stumbles pretty much right into your swings
[15:03] <Sheena> Roll 2#5d8+4
[15:03] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 2#5d8+4 --> [ 5d8=30 ]{34}, [ 5d8=20 ]{24}
[15:03] <Mani> ("Never become dependent on your weapon.")
[15:04] <Alathon> and it takes a hurting from the energy-blade slashes, but is still in fair condition.
[15:04] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[15:04] <Alathon> Gun Angel #1 switches targets, and fires at Yuuno
[15:04] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:04] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{33}
[15:04] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[15:04] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{26}
[15:05] <Alathon> after one shot, no more come out.
[15:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[15:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{46}
[15:05] <Mani> (Gun angel #1: "When did we become PCs?")
[15:05] <Alathon> And Yuuno evades it easily.
[15:05] <Alathon> Mani is up.
[15:05] * Mani goes after the sword angel, as she's right next to him.
[15:05] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+33
[15:05] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{38}, [ 1d20=2 ]{35}
[15:05] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+28
[15:05] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{39}, [ 1d20=10 ]{38}
[15:06] <Mani> (Er, oops.)
[15:06] <Alathon> (I'll drop the second 28)
[15:06] <Mani> roll 1d20+23
[15:06] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{24}
[15:06] <Alathon> And mani runs into a bit of bad luck.
[15:06] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36
[15:06] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{48}
[15:06] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[15:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{50}
[15:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[15:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{50}
[15:07] <Mani> (Do I get my extra attack?)
[15:07] <Alathon> The angel bobs and weaves, evading her slashes, then in a surprise move, brings up an armm with a heavy bracer on it and knocks one of the slashes aside.. disarming Mani of one of her swords.
[15:07] <Alathon> No
[15:07] <Alathon> actually
[15:07] <Alathon> hm
[15:07] <Alathon> Yes
[15:08] <Mani> roll 1d20+33
[15:08] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{47}
[15:08] <Alathon> that's probably a better precedent, that a botch ends a full attack, but not all actions for the round
[15:08] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{46}
[15:08] <Alathon> It just barely fails to evade the last swing.
[15:08] <Mani> roll 1d10+9
[15:08] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d10+9 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{14}
[15:08] <Mani> roll 3d8
[15:08] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=16 ]{16}
[15:08] <Mani> <a> "Nice move."
[15:08] * Mani stabs him.
[15:09] <Alathon> You see a grimace as

Session 72 - part 2

[15:09] <Alathon> You see a grimace as the thrust penetrates.
[15:09] <Alathon> It's edging into poor condition now.
[15:09] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[15:10] * Kuonji drops down from the wall in a crouch and observes what's happening inside
[15:11] <Kuonji> (that's it for this round)
[15:11] <Alathon> (if you're holding action, please say so explicitly)
[15:11] <Alathon> (cool)
[15:11] <Alathon> Yuuno is up.. she switches targets, firing at the one she thinks she can actually hit. Once.
[15:11] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{45}

[15:11] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{35}
[15:11] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[15:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{44}
[15:11] <Alathon> roll 1d20+26
[15:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{43}
[15:12] <Alathon> The sword angel evades the second and third energy bolts, but is rocked by the first one.
[15:12] <Alathon> roll 5d8+10
[15:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=20 ]{30}
[15:12] <Alathon> Sword Angel #2 hesitates..
[15:12] <Alathon> It takes a quick look at Mani, then switches back to fighting her.
[15:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33
[15:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{42}
[15:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[15:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{43}
[15:12] <Reis> (With no sword?)
[15:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23
[15:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{34}
[15:12] <Mani> (What's it using?)
[15:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+18
[15:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{29}
[15:12] <Alathon> (it's fists)
[15:13] <Alathon> (they're substantially less threatening)
[15:13] <Reis> (Heh)
[15:13] <Alathon> (they're gauntleted.. but not edged or flaming)
[15:14] <Mani> roll 1d20+36
[15:14] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{54}
[15:14] <Mani> roll 1d20+34
[15:14] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{46}
[15:14] <Mani> roll 1d20+32
[15:15] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{50}
[15:15] <Mani> roll 1d20+30
[15:15] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{42}
[15:15] <Mani> roll 1d20+28
[15:15] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{38}
[15:15] <Alathon> (there were only 4 to dodge.. and you dodged them all)
[15:15] <Mani> (Why did I dodge an extra time?)
[15:15] <Alathon> the Angel proves substantially less threatening without it's sword than with.. whiffing.
[15:15] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[15:15] <Mani> (*dances circles around him.)
[15:16] <Alathon> voice, "Dammit, go for the elf you fucking backwater shitspawn!"
[15:16] <Alathon> (in abyssal)
[15:16] * Reis turns and shoots the gun out of Gun #2's hands. "Try NOT, scheisskopf!"
[15:16] <Reis> roll 1d20+44
[15:16] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{53}
[15:16] <Alathon> (...
[15:16] <Mani> "Yuuno, maybe you should find some cover."
[15:16] <Alathon> (that's impossible)
[15:16] <Alathon> (you can't see it)
[15:16] <Alathon> (there's nothing to aim for)
[15:16] <Reis> (Uh... Thermal vision?)
[15:16] <Alathon> (uh, no way ;p )
[15:16] <Alathon> (it's a gun not a person)
[15:17] <Reis> (Doesn't give me an outline?)
[15:17] <Sheena> (thats a rather cool gun)
[15:17] <Mani> (The gun isn't hotter where the energy bolts came out?)
[15:17] <Alathon> (it's not a M-2 with a huge heat bloom)
[15:17] <Alathon> (.. if you really wanna try it
[15:17] <Alathon> (it'll be at -16 for the combination of things)
[15:17] <Alathon> (and you negate 8 of that)
[15:18] <Reis> (Hm... I'll make the try.)
[15:18] <Reis> roll 1d20+44-8
[15:18] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+44-8 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{43}
[15:18] <Alathon> (you can use your last roll of 9)
[15:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[15:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{41}
[15:18] * Mani calls, "They seem pretty focused on Yuuno, Sakura."
[15:18] <Alathon> and you hit
[15:18] <Reis> (Thank you :P )
[15:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+2
[15:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{12}
[15:18] <Reis> roll 4d8 AP 2
[15:18] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 4d8 AP 2 --> [ 4d8=22 ]{22}
[15:19] <Alathon> and a gun goes flying
[15:19] <Reis> (Can I teleport over and catch it this round?)
[15:19] <Reis> (Just for style points? :P )
[15:20] <Sheena> (where are the gunngers to sheena?)
[15:20] <Alathon> you have a move action available, you can try
[15:20] <Alathon> with an athletics roll
[15:21] <Reis> (Dex?)
[15:21] <Alathon> +dex if you don't have it
[15:21] * Reis teleports out to where the gun's flying, reaching out with her left arm to catch the thing.
[15:21] <Reis> roll 1d20+6
[15:21] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{13}
[15:21] <Alathon> Judging by where Sakura and Reis have been attacking, they're a bit over a dozen feet back into the building
[15:21] <Alathon> spread out a bit
[15:22] <Alathon> one to the left, one to the right
[15:22] <Alathon> and Reis, you grab for the gun but it evades your grasp.
[15:22] <Alathon> and clatters to the floor.
[15:22] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[15:22] <Reis> (Righto. At the least, he'll need to dare me before going for it :P )
[15:22] <Alathon> Reis is now a bit behind where you think Gun Angel #2 is
[15:22] <Alathon> having attempted to catch the disarmed gun
[15:23] <Sheena> "Ill go play with the other boys, Don't break this one to much"
[15:24] * Sheena flys to the back to take some heat off yuuno
[15:24] <Mani> "Have fun."
[15:24] <Alathon> (whcih one are you going for?)
[15:24] <Sheena> (swing at gun1?)
[15:24] <Mani> (Sakura going to do anything this round, btw?)
[15:24] <Alathon> (go ahead, at -4)
[15:24] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27-4
[15:24] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27-4 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{39}
[15:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[15:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{45}
[15:24] <Alathon> It evades.
[15:25] <Sheena> (...)
[15:25] <Alathon> Those of you with heat or other non-vision vision will see Gun Angel #2 scramble for it's gun, scoop it, and take a single shot at Yuuno.
[15:25] <Sheena> (thats it, im so buying highly skilled like 5 times)
[15:25] <Alathon> Now standing very near Reis
[15:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{46}
[15:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[15:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{43}
[15:25] <Reis> (Can I attempt to defend the gun and keep him from getting it?)
[15:26] <Alathon> no, you already acted
[15:26] <Reis> (Righto)
[15:26] <Alathon> this energy bolt splashes against Yuuno's shields once again, which dim a little more.
[15:26] <Alathon> Sakura, you gonna act this round?
[15:27] <Reis> (Would've been handy if he snagged the gun before angel #2 got it :P )
[15:27] <Kuonji> (what do I see?)
[15:27] <Alathon> Sheena is fighting #1, #2 is right by Reis shoting at yuuno
[15:27] <Alathon> Mani is fighting the remaining sword angel
[15:27] <Alathon> Yuuno is a bit back, shooting and being shot at.
[15:28] <Kuonji> would it be possible to teleport behind gun #1?)
[15:28] <Alathon> you can certainly try
[15:28] <Alathon> you saw it attack so you have a pretty good idea ofw hich way it's facing
[15:29] * Kuonji teleports behind number #1 and attempts a good ol' fashioned back stab
[15:29] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+31
[15:29] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{42}
[15:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28-4 flatfooted
[15:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28-4 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=12 ]{36}
[15:30] <Alathon> you hit
[15:30] <Alathon> Everyone else sees a spurt of blood spray out into midair, then drop to the floor, around near where Sheena is swinging.
[15:31] <Sheena> "Looks like that hurt"
[15:31] <Alathon> (roll damage)
[15:31] <Kuonji> roll 6d8
[15:31] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=19 ]{19}
[15:31] <Kuonji> (oh come on, what the fuck?)
[15:31] <Reis> (Backstab?)
[15:32] <Kuonji> (do I get a sneak attack off?)
[15:32] <Sheena> (isnt backstab more?)
[15:32] <Kuonji> roll 6d6
[15:32] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=17 ]{17}
[15:33] <Sheena> (...)
[15:33] <Reis> (... Someone DESPISES us.)
[15:33] <Kuonji> (lovely, the bot really wants to gimpmy damage today)
[15:33] <Mani> (I confess... it's me.)
[15:33] <Alathon> anyways
[15:33] <Kuonji> (man, I wish I could jump attack this bastard)
[15:33] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[15:33] <Kuonji> (and Sakura dies)
[15:33] <Alathon> You all hear a click, shlick, ka-click.
[15:33] <Reis> (His gun's jammed :P )
[15:33] <Alathon> Then a single shot is fired at Yuuno.
[15:33] <Reis> (Though, now it's not.)
[15:33] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:33] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{40}
[15:34] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34-4
[15:34] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34-4 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{37}
[15:34] <Alathon> Yuuno isn't quite fast enough, and while the energy bolt shatters against his forcefield, the forcefield itself shatters into a spray of greenish panes of energy, that fade as they hit the ground.
[15:34] <Alathon> Mani is up
[15:34] <Alathon> (her forcefield)
[15:34] * Mani tries to finish off the sword angel.
[15:34] <Mani> roll 1d20+33
[15:34] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{42}
[15:34] <Mani> roll 1d20+28
[15:35] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{45}
[15:35] <Mani> roll 1d20+25
[15:35] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{28}
[15:35] <Mani> roll 1d20+18
[15:35] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{38}
[15:35] <Mani> roll 1d20+33
[15:35] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{47}
[15:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36
[15:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{52}
[15:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[15:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{52}
[15:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[15:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{35}
[15:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{41}
[15:35] <Mani> (1 hit, 1 crit?)
[15:35] <Alathon> Mani's last two swings cut right through it's defenses, one of them right on target.
[15:35] <Alathon> yup
[15:35] <Mani> roll 1d10+9
[15:35] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d10+9 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{13}
[15:35] <Mani> roll 2d10+9
[15:35] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2d10+9 --> [ 2d10=18 ]{27}
[15:36] <Mani> roll 6d8
[15:36] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=31 ]{31}
[15:36] <Mani> (AP1)
[15:36] <Alathon> It's hurting now, in pretty bad condition.
[15:36] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[15:37] <Kuonji> (again?)
[15:37] <Alathon> (it's a new round)
[15:37] <Alathon> (last round you held an action)
[15:38] <Kuonji> (ah, but I thought gun angel #1 was before me, and I didn't see him go)
[15:38] <Alathon> (it went)
[15:38] <Alathon> (it got a single shot, since it had to reload it's gun)
[15:38] * Kuonji will attempt to teleport behind the second gunner and backstab him now
[15:39] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+31
[15:39] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{41}
[15:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30-4
[15:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30-4 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{31}
[15:41] <Alathon> You connect, damage + backstab
[15:42] <Kuonji> roll 6d8
[15:42] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=25 ]{25}
[15:42] <Kuonji> roll 6d6
[15:42] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=30 ]{30}
[15:43] <Kuonji> (now that's more like it)
[15:43] <Reis> (YEAH baby!)

[15:46] <Reis> (Apparently, it gets stuck in the ceiling)
[15:46] <Alathon> it catches its sword on the ceiling as it jumps.. the sword is lodged in the ceiling, but the angel keeps going, and lands off a bit to the side of Yuuno.
[15:46] <Mani> (It has no sword.)

[15:51] <Reis> (Two hits and a crit?)
[15:52] <Alathon> (oh right)
[15:52] <Alathon> the first, magically powered cut, hurts it bad.. the second hit slides off, and the third one draws a papercut worth fo blood
[15:52] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[15:55] * Sheena flys out of the house to cover yuuno, but see's the idoit near her

[16:08] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[16:09] <Mani> (Is there any cover Yuuno could duck behind, btw?)
[16:10] <Alathon> (it's a village, she could fly behind all sorts of stuff)
[16:10] <Alathon> (she hasn't though)
[16:10] <Mani> "Why haven't you taken some cover?"
[16:10] <Sheena> "No need"

[16:20] <Mani> <A> "So, you want to surrender now, or are you going to make us cut you down?"
[16:20] <Alathon> It doesn't respond.
[16:21] <Kuonji> (Hey, maybe Pirotess will go hunting for Deedlit and find Yuuno?)
[16:21] <Kuonji> (ok, is anyone actually left standing?)
[16:21] <Reis> (Gun #2)
[16:21] <Kuonji> (just #2, right?)

[16:24] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{43}
[16:24] <Mani> (Just use your attack on your turn.)
[16:25] <Alathon> No luck for yuuno, though at least she didn't punk an ally.
[16:25] <Alathon> this time ;p
[16:25] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[16:25] <Kuonji> (bitch already did earlier)
[16:25] <Kuonji> (she got me worse then the enemies!)
[16:25] <Reis> (Heh)
[16:26] * Reis simply raises her sword and drills a grey beam of light into the angel's head.
[16:26] <Reis> roll 1d20+32
[16:26] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{49}
[16:26] <Mani> (Hmmm. Maybe her whole story about Nanoha was a lie and she just got cursed and kicked out because she kept hitting her teammates...)
[16:27] <Sheena> (nanoha looking like scareface from black lagoon?)
[16:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[16:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{46}
[16:28] <Alathon> hits
[16:28] <Reis> roll 7d10 AP 2
[16:28] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 7d10 AP 2 --> [ 7d10=38 ]{38}
[16:28] <Alathon> (fryface? yeah.. heh)
[16:28] <Alathon> (now That'd be a deviation from canon)
[16:29] <Reis> (How badly is he punked?)
[16:29] <Mani> (Can't tell? :) )
[16:29] <Alathon> there's a thud, and another gun angel appears.. on the ground.
[16:29] <Alathon> it looks liek the other one.. short, stout, bearded, grey, and unconscious
[16:29] <Alathon> oh, and bleeding
[16:29] <Alathon> and
[16:30] <Alathon> Fight's over, i think this is a good time for a 15 minute break
[16:30] * Reis stretches slightly, lowering her sword.
[16:30] <Mani> Ok. Guess I'll reboot.
[16:30] <Sheena> "Guess we better giftwrap these boys for there boss and make a deal, or splater him all over"
[16:30] <Reis> (Break Sheens :P )
[16:30] <Sheena> (im good)
[16:30] <Kuonji> brb
[16:30] <Sheena> (for a break that is)
[16:30] * Mani reboots.
[16:30] * Mani (~opera@lunarnet-A243C0D0.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Quit: Mani)
[16:47] <Alathon> hmm
[16:47] <Alathon> no mani yet
[16:47] <Alathon> so we'll wait a couple
[16:47] <Reis> (Roger.)
[16:50] <Sheena> can see why mani dont like rebooting
[16:51] <Reis> Indeed.
[16:51] * Mani (~opera@ool-44c5854b.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[16:51] <Reis> (Welcome back)
[16:56] <Sheena> Your back right?
[16:56] <Reis> (Probably getting everything in order)
[16:58] <Mani> (I'm back.)
[16:58] <Kuonji> (yo)
[17:01] <Reis> (Greetingsness... has everyone left again?)
[17:01] <Sheena> (nope)
[17:01] <Sheena> (never left in the first plaec)
[17:01] <Kuonji> (yo)
[17:02] <Alathon> alright
[17:02] <Alathon> we all here now?
[17:02] <Reis> (Yep)
[17:03] <Mani> Yep.
[17:03] <Sheena> (ya)
[17:04] <Kuonji> (yo)
[17:05] <Alathon> Alright
[17:05] <Alathon> we left off with the fight ending
[17:05] <Alathon> All hostiles are unconscious and bleeding
[17:05] <Sheena> "Guess we better giftwrap these boys for there boss and make a deal, or splater him all over"
[17:05] <Alathon> all friendlies are a live, and some are regenerating
[17:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "if you think we can pull it off.."
[17:06] <Mani> "Let me heal you up, Sakura."
[17:06] <Sheena> "We need that shield down"
[17:06] <Kuonji> "Please do."
[17:06] * Mani heals Sakura for 50hp.
[17:07] * Reis purses her lips. "Do you have some rope, Sakura-san? We may as well tie them up at least."
[17:07] <Mani> "While I'm not thrilled about just letting their boss go, our mission is to get Mercury home; if we can do that quickly without a fight, we should."
[17:08] * Kuonji pulls out some rope for Reis
[17:09] * Mani makes sure none of the downed enemies are about to expire.
[17:09] * Reis takes a bit and goes around starting to tie the gunners.
[17:09] <Mani> "What do people think? Give him back his minions if he agrees to drop the wards, leave the dimension, and not return?"
[17:09] * Reis pauses. "Question. How will we restrain the swordsmen? They're unbelievably strong."
[17:09] <Sheena> "We need to get the senshi in on this battle com system as well. We get slip like this far to often.
[17:09] <Mani> "By leaving them unconcious."
[17:09] <Kuonji> "Let me hit them with my bind."
[17:09] <Kuonji> "It'll only last a few minutes, but it might be enough."
[17:09] <Sheena> *split
[17:09] <Mani> "And bound by Kuonji."
[17:10] <Mani> "So, does that sound good to everyone?"
[17:10] * Reis nods. "I'm worried about if they regenerate awake, though. If they got up at a bad time, it'd be problematic."
[17:10] * Reis nods. "Yes."
[17:10] * Mani makes sure none are about to regenerate awake, either.
[17:11] * Kuonji goes around and hits all the downed enemies with a shadowbind
[17:12] <Sheena> "Im ready when ever"
[17:12] * Sheena looks over to yuuno
[17:12] <Sheena> "Try to keep close thill your recovered"
[17:12] <Mani> "Ok, let's position ourselves so it's clear we can quickly kill our prisoners if need be."
[17:13] * Reis nods, and takes a position with her sword ready by one of the fake angels.
[17:13] <Reis> (How much will we regen before the thingy goes down?)
[17:13] * Mani does the same.
[17:13] <Alathon> depends how long you chooose to wait.
[17:13] <Alathon> All of them are bound, and Kuonji can re-bind to make sure it lasts after the dimensional affect ends
[17:13] <Mani> "Shall we go when your force field is back, Yuuno?"
[17:14] <Reis> "If he refuses, do we take the time to kill them, or just focus on him?"
[17:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I can hold this for a few minutes at most.. but the longer I hold it, the less I can do after I drop it.."
[17:14] <Kuonji> "Let me know before you drop it Yuuno."
[17:14] <Kuonji> "I'll rebind these guys."
[17:14] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[17:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "it's almost back now."
[17:15] <Reis> (Any answer to Reis's question, Mani?)
[17:15] <Kuonji> "So, what exactly is this anyway? It seemed like he could see in here."
[17:15] <Kuonji> "But I don't see him."
[17:15] <Mani> "Mm. If it comes to an actual fight, focus on him. He's dangerous."
[17:16] * Reis nods. "Yeah... seemed so to me too."
[17:16] <Kuonji> "It'd be pretty funny if he was actually all talk... Somehow I doubt we're that lucky though."
[17:16] <Mani> "If he just acts reluctant, I'll see if I can ... persuade him before it comes to that."
[17:16] <Reis> "It's possible he's just a holographic projection or something. He was translucent, remember."
[17:17] * Reis nods.
[17:17] <Kuonji> (... I really, really hope he doesn't have like 7 ranks of insubstantial or something.)
[17:18] <Kuonji> (I might have to hunt down al and beat him with a bag full of doorknobs.)
[17:18] <Reis> (Heh)
[17:19] <Sheena> (sheena can cut em, but it would take a while with only her damage)
[17:19] <Reis> (We've got them helpless, I believe it's presumed that you can instantly slit their throat in that circumstance)
[17:19] <Alathon> (ugh dammit)
[17:20] <Reis> (Hm? What's wrong?)
[17:20] <Alathon> (sorry for my afking, dropped a perfectly good plate in the kitchen and had to clean it up)
[17:20] <Reis> (Gah)
[17:20] <Reis> (Back now?)
[17:20] <Alathon> (yeah)
[17:22] <Alathon> Yuuno: "There's one other thing.. if we NEED to evac, remember we can do it dimensionally."
[17:22] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If I thought we could get both Mercury and Venus down with us without bringing a lot of head, I'd suggest that."
[17:22] <Sheena> "Roger"
[17:22] <Sheena> "If needed ill fly over to them"
[17:23] <Mani> "Btw, these guys don't seem to be regenerating."
[17:23] <Sheena> "we meet up and get out"
[17:23] * Sheena pokes a body
[17:23] <Mani> "I've made sure they won't die on us, but we don't have to worry about them waking up on their own."
[17:23] * Reis nods. "Understood... If we're _going_ to evac, let's take a combined shot at the ward source and hope that takes it down first?"
[17:23] <Kuonji> (all I saw was mercury venus down and head... >_>)
[17:23] <Mani> roll 4#1d20+11
[17:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 4#1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{18}, [ 1d20=15 ]{26}, [ 1d20=6 ]{17}, [ 1d20=1 ]{12}
[17:23] <Sheena> "After this we really need to find or make a friendly dim landing zone for fast evacks"
[17:25] * Reis nods, frowning. "Something else to see if we can research at the bar next time around."
[17:26] <Alathon> (...heat! heat!)
[17:26] <Alathon> (anyways)
[17:26] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So, what's the plan?"
[17:26] <Sheena> (didnt we cover that part?)
[17:26] <Alathon> Yuuno: "tell the guy, 'drop the ward or we kill your goons' or what?"
[17:26] <Reis> "Negotiate, then pile onto him if he refuses, I think."
[17:27] <Alathon> (several ideas were suggested)
[17:27] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[17:27] <Mani> "Like I said, I was thinking that if he agrees to drop the ward, leave the dimension, and not return, we give him back his minions."
[17:27] <Alathon> Where are you all situated
[17:27] <Sheena> "he does want em alive, all he has to drop it and the senshi will likly make there moves'
[17:27] <Alathon> ?
[17:27] <Sheena> (around yuuno withthe bodies)
[17:27] * Kuonji reapplies his bind to the bodies
[17:28] <Alathon> (inside the house, outside, ?)
[17:28] <Reis> (Inside, I think?)
[17:28] <Mani> (Inside.)
[17:28] <Alathon> Alright
[17:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Dropping the barrier in 5... 4... 3..."
[17:28] <Alathon> Yuuno stops counting, and starts concentrating.
[17:28] * Reis braces herself.
[17:28] <Alathon> And when 'zero' is reached, the grey-green tint that was covering everything evaporates.
[17:28] <Mani> (How many rounds passed since the fight ended?)
[17:29] <Alathon> You're back in the real world, with the sounds from the battle above, and that guy, who is right where youleft him.. and looking rather vexed.
[17:29] <Alathon> (about a minute or so, so everyone with regen, heal 10 hp)
[17:29] <Alathon> and, Init
[17:30] <Mani> roll 1d20+9
[17:30] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{10}
[17:30] <Reis> (Owie)
[17:30] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[17:30] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{14}
[17:30] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+14
[17:30] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{28}
[17:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+9 that guy
[17:30] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+2
[17:30] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{19}
[17:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+9 that guy --> [ 1d20=10 ]{19}
[17:30] <Sheena> (yay!)
[17:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4 Yuuno
[17:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 Yuuno --> [ 1d20=8 ]{12}
[17:30] <Kuonji> (woot, I can jump attack him if we lure his ass outside somehow)
[17:31] <Mani> (Simul Sheena + That Guy <cue theme music>)
[17:31] <Kuonji> (or blow the roof off ^^)
[17:31] <Mani> (You'll have to do a lateral leap attack through the missing wall. :) )
[17:31] <Kuonji> (this theme music? http://youtube.com/watch?v=EaHDut6z8yg)
[17:32] <Kuonji> (I could do it since I can wall stick I suppose... it's up to al really)
[17:33] <Mani> (No, this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=M9rapJrbNRA )
[17:34] <Sheena> 9scary)
[17:34] <Mani> (Or this one for the version with words: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YRaMIKRZ19M&feature=related)
[17:34] <Kuonji> (... are you... That Girl?)
[17:34] <Alathon> (I was thinking something like this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=auikBu7soMs, but your mileage may vary)
[17:35] <Sheena> (can work with that)
[17:36] <Alathon> Anyways
[17:36] <Kuonji> (pffft lamb of god)
[17:36] <Alathon> 'That guy' doesn't waste any time, and starts a series of arcane gestures with his fingers..
[17:36] <Alathon> but Kuonji goes first.
[17:36] <Kuonji> (anyway I can leap attack him from here?
[17:36] <Kuonji> )
[17:37] <Kuonji> (like run up a wall and dive at him? :P)
[17:37] <Alathon> (no ;p )
[17:37] <Kuonji> (aww, why not?)
[17:37] <Alathon> (you need enough vertical space to get heigh, and be accellerated by gravity)
[17:37] <Alathon> (height)
[17:37] <Reis> (Weren't we gonna try negotiating first?)
[17:37] <Kuonji> (damn)
[17:37] <Sheena> "Drop the wards and we'll leave"
[17:38] <Kuonji> (http://youtube.com/watch?v=5MEeoj_K2QU)
[17:38] <Mani> <A> "If you want your *living* servants back, we're willing to negotiate."
[17:38] * Kuonji holds action for now
[17:40] <Alathon> That guy finishes his spell, and is bathed in a violet glow that lifts off his skin in wisps.
[17:40] <Alathon> that guy, "I stated that I would be displeased should they be slain, not that I valued their lives."
[17:40] <Alathon> Sheena is up.
[17:41] <Mani> "So, it's a fight you want, then?"
[17:41] <Alathon> He shrugs again.
[17:41] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal: "Not particularly."
[17:42] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal: "Yours is the party attempting to adjust the status quo."
[17:42] <Mani> <A> "Well, unless you're willing to drop the ward, you're getting one. Do we have anything left to discuss or shall we simply begin?"
[17:44] <Alathon> He whips out.. a PDA, and glances at it.
[17:44] <Alathon> (Sheena, do you act or delay or what?)
[17:44] * Sheena stand up and taps dark heart on the ground.
[17:44] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20 mass dissspell
[17:44] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 mass dissspell --> [ 1d20=8 ]{28}
[17:45] <Sheena> (FUCK YOU BOT)
[17:45] <Mani> "Of course, even if we fight and you do manage to end up winning, you might just be making things harder for yourself."
[17:45] <Kuonji> <Abyssal> "Right, the invading jackass from another dimension is claiming WE'RE the one's trying to change the status quo."
[17:45] <Mani> (abyssal)
[17:45] <Alathon> Alright.
[17:45] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[17:46] <Sheena> (guess it didnt do jack? oy)
[17:46] <Alathon> (nope)
[17:46] <Mani> <A> "Fine. Take him out."
[17:46] <Kuonji> (you gotta keep em seperated)
[17:46] <Reis> roll 2#1d20+28
[17:46] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{33}, [ 1d20=19 ]{47}
[17:48] * Reis flashes and disappears, reappearing slightly behind him and firing her ribbons (at an angle so that a miss shouldn't catch anyone else).
[17:48] <Reis> (Doh)
[17:48] <Reis> (Retcon that :P )
[17:48] <Kuonji> (hah)
[17:48] <Alathon> Your attacks clang against... something, and slide away without reaching him.
[17:49] <Kuonji> (dude, isn't teleport wards back up?)
[17:49] <Reis> (Just ran to the side and fired at him, instead :P )
[17:49] <Alathon> (yes, you can't teleport)
[17:49] <Kuonji> (also... what the fuck?)
[17:49] <Reis> (Yeah, they are, that's why I retconned it)
[17:49] <Alathon> (was about to say)
[17:49] <Mani> "Any idea what that spell is, Sheena?"
[17:50] <Reis> (Is there a pattern to the shield? Like a wall or anything?)
[17:50] <Alathon> Yuuno.. flies back a bit to get some distance from the fight, then launches a single energy bolt at him
[17:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[17:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{32}
[17:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+48
[17:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+48 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{54}
[17:51] <Sheena> (working on it)
[17:51] <Alathon> he takes one step to the side, avoiding the attack.
[17:52] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+23 arcane
[17:52] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+23 arcane --> [ 1d20=16 ]{39}
[17:52] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+23 arcane
[17:52] <Kuonji> (48?... this guy islevel20+ isn't he? >_<)
[17:52] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+23 arcane --> [ 1d20=1 ]{24}
[17:52] <Sheena> (...)
[17:52] <Alathon> (other one?)
[17:52] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+23 arcane
[17:52] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+23 arcane --> [ 1d20=12 ]{35}
[17:53] <Sheena> (i know since we roll so much 1's will happen, but its all ways at the oddist time)
[17:53] * Reis purses her lips, frowning.
[17:53] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[17:53] * Mani moves up and attacks him.
[17:53] <Mani> (Single set?)
[17:53] <Alathon> (yes)
[17:54] <Kuonji> "Taichou... I say we coup these guys now."
[17:54] <Mani> roll 3#1d20+33
[17:54] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{53}, [ 1d20=17 ]{50}, [ 1d20=15 ]{48}
[17:54] <Kuonji> (or not)
[17:54] <Alathon> One of your attacks is absolutely perfectly aimed
[17:54] <Alathon> roll 1d20+46
[17:54] <Alathon> roll 1d20+44
[17:54] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+46 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{47}
[17:54] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{55}
[17:54] <Mani> (All hit? :) )
[17:54] <Kuonji> (hah, go mani)
[17:54] <Alathon> and in his arrogance, he moves far too slow to avoid any of them
[17:54] <Sheena> "His has a strong shield, but thats kinda aparent now"
[17:54] <Mani> roll 2d10+9
[17:54] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2d10+9 --> [ 2d10=5 ]{14}
[17:55] <Mani> roll 2#1d10+9
[17:55] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d10+9 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{11}, [ 1d10=4 ]{13}
[17:55] <Alathon> All three clang off something short of his skin.
[17:55] * Kuonji uses the action he held to coup some underlings
[17:55] <Kuonji> (can I get two if they're close together or something?)
[17:55] <Alathon> (you can only do one per round, but you'll succeed if you do)
[17:56] <Alathon> (whcih one?)
[17:56] <Mani> <Japanese> "This thing around him weakening when I hit it, Sheena?"
[17:56] <Kuonji> (one of the sword angels)
[17:56] <Sheena> (is it?)
[17:56] <Alathon> One of the sword angel's heads falls away from it's body, rolling slightly.
[17:56] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[17:56] <Sheena> <j>"Thoes hits didnt do shit"
[17:57] <Alathon> The guy's lips compress into a thin line.
[17:57] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[17:57] * Kuonji coups sword angel #2
[17:57] <Sheena> "Think its time we changed plans and swap targets"
[17:58] <Mani> <J> "Reis, is he the source of the ward or is it something else?"
[17:58] <Kuonji> <Abyssal> "and another one gone and another one gone and another one bites the dust."
[17:58] <Alathon> He makes a series of complicated gestures, and...
[17:58] <Reis> Japanese: "It's either him or near him."
[17:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27 (better hope he rolls low on this)
[17:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 (better hope he rolls low on this) --> [ 1d20=11 ]{38}
[17:58] <Alathon> ...nothing happens.
[17:59] <Alathon> except he gets a surprised look on his face.
[17:59] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal: "Curious... so, the rumors are confirmed."
[17:59] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up.
[17:59] <Kuonji> <Abyssal> "Hey, we're gonna come for you, and another one bites the dust."
[17:59] <Mani> <J> "Well, if you manage to pinpoint it, let us know."
[18:00] <Mani> roll 1d20+12
[18:00] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{19}
[18:01] <Reis> Abyssal: "Are they interesting rumours?"
[18:01] <Alathon> that guy, "Oh, yes."
[18:02] <Kuonji> (so I'm guessing that roll wasn't low enough?"
[18:02] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal: "I'm afraid I could never quite give credence to the idea of an artifact that trammelled time itself, barring manipulation thereof from all save it's owner."
[18:02] <Kuonji> (Dark Heart?)
[18:03] <Alathon> anyways, Sheena is up
[18:03] <Kuonji> (or is this going to be where the GM drops a massive bomb on a PC?)
[18:03] <Reis> (Heh)
[18:03] <Sheena> "So you say,"
[18:03] <Kuonji> (I remember when Taro did a reveal in one of his games...)
[18:03] <Reis> (Bomb us! Bomb us with vigour!)
[18:03] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20 dispell
[18:03] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 dispell --> [ 1d20=17 ]{37}
[18:03] <Kuonji> (my charachter ended up being a construct)
[18:03] <Sheena> (yes)
[18:04] <Reis> (Heh)
[18:04] <Mani> (And in this game, we discover Sheena's really Nanoha.)
[18:04] <Kuonji> (heh)
[18:04] <Sheena> (draining life gives you boobs?)
[18:04] <Alathon> (is that targeted on the forcefield?)
[18:04] <Sheena> (yes)
[18:04] <Sheena> (sheena hitting him with that)
[18:04] <Alathon> Nobody seens anything happen..
[18:05] <Reis> Japanese: "It's down, fire away."
[18:05] <Sheena> "Yes,"
[18:05] <Sheena> Dark heart: It is so, lets shoot
[18:05] <Alathon> He pockets the PDA as soon as the field fades.
[18:06] * Reis suits actions to words, attempting to circle around behind him and firing another burst of ribbons at him.
[18:06] <Reis> roll 1d20+44
[18:06] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{55}
[18:06] <Mani> "Danke."
[18:06] <Kuonji> "Aww I wanted to keep killing his subordinates, it looked like it was pissing him off."
[18:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+48
[18:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+48 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{56}
[18:07] <Alathon> He barely evades the swarm of edged ribbons.
[18:07] <Alathon> Yuuno fires three energy bolts at him.
[18:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20=30

[18:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{31}
[18:07] <Mani> "Multiple attacks, Reis. He's too good at dodging."
[18:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+46
[18:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+46 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{55}

[18:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[18:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{49}
[18:07] <Alathon> He proves Mani's owrds right, easily avoiding Yuuno's attacks.
[18:07] <Reis> Japanese: "Trying to get in range for that."
[18:08] <Alathon> Mani is up
[18:08] * Mani attacks.
[18:08] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+33
[18:08] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{39}, [ 1d20=13 ]{46}

[18:08] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{47}, [ 1d20=12 ]{40}
[18:08] <Mani> (just 1)
[18:08] <Mani> roll 1d20+23

[18:09] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[18:09] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{37}
[18:09] <Alathon> He evades all except the last slash..
[18:09] <Mani> (Yay for extra attack.)
[18:09] <Mani> roll 1d10+9 1AP
[18:09] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d10+9 1AP --> [ 1d10=9 ]{18}
[18:09] <Alathon> roll burst
[18:09] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled burst --> error: malformed expression
[18:09] <Alathon> Your sword passes through, without apparent affect...
[18:10] <Mani> roll 3d8
[18:10] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=15 ]{15}
[18:10] <Alathon> except for the burst of white energy, which wars with the magenta energies.. apparently causing him some discomfort.
[18:10] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[18:10] <Alathon> Kuonji is up
[18:11] <Kuonji> "Taichou, permission to finish off his underlings? I don't have any magic I can hit him with."
[18:11] <Kuonji> (that was in Japanese)
[18:11] <Mani> "How about your bind?"
[18:12] <Kuonji> <J> "I can give it a shot."
[18:12] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+21
[18:12] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{25}

[18:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+48 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{55}
[18:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+46
[18:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+46 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{55}
[18:12] <Alathon> He evades both easily.
[18:12] <Kuonji> (yeah, unless he critfails no way I can hit him)
[18:12] <Mani> (Still eats up dodges.)
[18:13] <Kuonji> (I still think we should kill them while we have the chance)
[18:13] <Reis> (Eh, no need, they won't wake up, it just slows us down on him)
[18:13] <Mani> (Enh. They're just angels. There are thousands more of them out there.)
[18:14] <Kuonji> (but it seems to annoy him, and that's fun!)
[18:14] <Alathon> anyawys
[18:15] <Alathon> the guy makes a short leap, nearly touching the ceiling, over to the side of teh room, and turns to face the party as a whole... making a series of arcane gestures.
[18:15] <Alathon> Launching a wide code of cold that hits everyone other than Yuuno
[18:15] <Reis> (My force field's up)
[18:16] <Alathon> roll 15d6
[18:16] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 15d6 --> [ 15d6=51 ]{51}
[18:16] <Kuonji> (jesus)
[18:16] <Reis> (Area force field, handy eh?)
[18:16] <Alathon> reflex save for half, DC 25
[18:16] <Alathon> reis.. you've been moving around
[18:17] <Alathon> you can't guard people you're not near
[18:17] <Mani> (Who's covered by Reis's force field?)
[18:17] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+17
[18:17] <Reis> (Hm, not close enough then?)
[18:17] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{19}
[18:17] <Kuonji> DR
[18:17] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+17
[18:17] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{33}

[18:17] <Reis> roll 1d20+28
[18:17] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{39}
[18:17] <Alathon> CT armor does not apply to this
[18:18] <Mani> (Anyone other than Reis covered by her shield?)
[18:18] <Sheena> (sheena got like 5 layers up)
[18:18] <Alathon> (no)
[18:18] <Mani> roll 1d20+9
[18:18] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{15}
[18:18] <Alathon> (sheena's got her normal forcefield, plus a protection)
[18:18] <Reis> (She popped a pair of cartridges too, I believe)
[18:19] <Alathon> (nod)
[18:19] <Kuonji> (so I take what, 21 damage?)
[18:19] <Alathon> (yeah)
[18:19] <Mani> "Reis, he still register as the source of the wards?"
[18:20] <Kuonji> (you know, I'm putting in a request for better armor when we get back)
[18:20] <Reis> "Yes, it's either him or something he's carrying."
[18:20] <Kuonji> (we've had the same armor for the entire game)
[18:20] <Alathon> (if you want better, pay the CP ;p )
[18:20] <Alathon> (either for iop armor, or armor use so you can use something heavier than armorcloth ;p )
[18:20] <Alathon> anyways.. the cone barely hurts mani, and freezes Kuonji a bit
[18:21] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[18:21] <Mani> <comm> "Found the person holding the ward. Have doubts we can take him."
[18:21] <Kuonji> (bah, this is why I tend to like D&D better)
[18:21] <Kuonji> (you can actually buy and find shit instead of having to sacrafice things like feats and ability increases)
[18:21] <Alathon> (no instant response)
[18:21] <Sheena> (eh?)
[18:22] <Mani> (Um, we have found stuff.)
[18:22] <Sheena> (ya we got loot)
[18:22] <Kuonji> (no decent armor though :P)
[18:22] <Alathon> (you found some heavily enchanted chainmail you coulda had resized)
[18:22] <Sheena> (Im telling ya, we keep getting raped by dnd mages, im rolling a freaking cleric of serenity, its going to be magical girl flame stikes for all)
[18:23] <Kuonji> (yeah, DnD mages seem to have an advantage in this setting)
[18:23] <Sheena> "Well his good, but can he dance? Hit it dark heart"
[18:23] <Kuonji> (you roll up a cleric, I'll roll up Darsh)
[18:23] <Sheena> Dark Heart: Twilight Rondo
[18:23] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+31
[18:23] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{50}
[18:23] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+26
[18:23] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{44}
[18:23] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+21
[18:23] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{27}
[18:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+44
[18:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{59}
[18:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[18:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{53}
[18:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+40
[18:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+40 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{55}
[18:24] <Alathon> He evades all three with ease.
[18:24] <Alathon> (er.. when they reach him at the end of the round)
[18:24] <Alathon> (sigh)
[18:24] <Reis> (Apparently he CAN dance)
[18:24] <Alathon> (which would be after mani attacks)
[18:24] <Alathon> (so never mind.. nothing happens.. energy bolts just go at him)
[18:24] <Sheena> (the end of the round when he has shit rolls, :P )
[18:24] <Alathon> (and he'll get those rolls, with decreased mods, at end of round)
[18:25] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[18:25] <Mani> (Set topic to current init?)
[18:25] * Alathon changes topic to 'Kuonji, That Guy, Sheena, Reis, Yuuno, Mani'
[18:25] * Reis attempts to close in, firing another burst of ribbons as she moves.
[18:25] <Reis> roll 1d20+44
[18:25] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{56}
[18:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+44
[18:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{55}
[18:25] <Alathon> you score one hit, by a hair
[18:25] <Reis> roll 4d8 AP 2
[18:25] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 4d8 AP 2 --> [ 4d8=22 ]{22}
[18:26] <Alathon> and it seems to hurt him.. there's no blood, but it leaves a crease in his form.
[18:26] <Reis> (Quick, someone else score a hit and we can get him below five hundred HP!)
[18:26] <Alathon> Yuuno is up, and this time she holds action.
[18:26] <Alathon> Mani is up
[18:30] <Sheena> (ping?)
[18:30] <Mani> (pming)
[18:32] <Sheena> (k
[18:34] <Alathon> okay
[18:34] * Mani charges him, sheathing one sword and slashing twice with a translucent beam of energy.
[18:34] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+33
[18:34] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{39}, [ 1d20=19 ]{52}
[18:35] <Alathon> His eyes widen a little, and he tries to dodge
[18:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[18:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{61}
[18:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+40
[18:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+40 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{45}
[18:35] <Alathon> Your second slash connects
[18:35] <Mani> roll 4d8 ep
[18:35] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 4d8 ep --> [ 4d8=13 ]{13}
[18:35] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal, "You have taken your first steps on the path, then?"
[18:36] <Alathon> He seems genuinely curious.
[18:36] * Sheena glars at that comment
[18:36] <Kuonji> (That Man... are you sure he's not blond and wearing a suit?)
[18:36] <Alathon> End of round.. so sheena's energy bolts zoom at him.
[18:36] <Reis> (Yuuno doing anything?)
[18:36] <Alathon> Yuuno isn't doing anything.
[18:37] <Reis> (Roger)
[18:37] <Mani> (Does he seem inconvenienced by it? And does it seem to 'grab' anything?)
[18:37] * Reis frowns at that. "No, she's not eating it, she's throwing it in the trash."
[18:37] <Mani> <A> "We may have some things in common, but I doubt it's the same path."
[18:38] * Sheena sighs
[18:38] <Sheena> "And yet im the one the boss worries about"
[18:38] <Alathon> He dances a little, evading Sheena's twilight rondo, as the energy bolt
"Last week, I tried praying. But I found I was only talking to myself. Don't worry, I learned my lesson last time. This time, no disciples!" - N. Reynolds, To Tell a Hawk from a Handsaw

Session 72 - part 3

[18:38] <Alathon> He dances a little, evading Sheena's twilight rondo, as the energy bolts circle and come around for another pass
[18:38] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal, "There is only one path to true ascendancy."
[18:38] <Alathon> He says this semi-sage-like.
[18:38] <Alathon> and, end of round, top of the order
[18:39] <Alathon> Kuonji is up.
[18:39] <Reis> "You speak so proudly of becoming a strung-out drug junkie."
[18:39] <Mani> <A> "But many manners of ascendancy."
[18:39] <Kuonji> <A> "Yeah, less chatter, more dieing."
[18:39] * Kuonji tosses another two shadow binds at That Jackass
[18:40] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+21
[18:40] <Alathon> He rolls his eyes just a little at Reis' comment.
[18:40] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{37}
[18:40] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+16

[18:40] <Alathon> roll 1d20+46
[18:40] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+46 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{52}
[18:40] <Alathon> He evades both..
[18:40] <Alathon> He turns to face Kuonji.
[18:40] <Kuonji> (lovely)
[18:40] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal, "I agree. More dying."
[18:41] <Alathon> He opens both hands and seems to grasp at nothing.. before dark spheres appear around his hands, compressing into two long dark bars of energy.
[18:41] <Mani> (What, you didn't realize that was the obvious response?)
[18:41] <Alathon> (if you've seen the Tenchi OAVs, you know what this looks like.. it's just like Ryoko's energy sword, except purple-black instead of orange)
[18:41] <Reis> (Heh, roger)
[18:41] <Alathon> He attacks twohanded, at Kuonji, aiming for his head.
[18:41] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+43
[18:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+43 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{47}, [ 1d20=19 ]{62}
[18:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38

[18:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{49}
[18:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33
[18:42] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{37}
[18:42] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[18:42] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{42}
[18:42] <Alathon> (melee, no invis bonus)
[18:42] <Mani> (Was Sakura's attack melee or ranged?)
[18:42] <Kuonji> (wait, so he moved to get to me?)
[18:42] <Kuonji> (I was ranged)
[18:42] <Alathon> (wait, I thought you were right by him?)
[18:42] <Mani> (I don't see how he gets a full round attack, then.)
[18:42] <Reis> (He was tossing binds from his old position)
[18:42] <Mani> (That Guy jumped away from us.)
[18:42] <Alathon> (and.. right, sakura hasn't closed since he moved)
[18:43] <Alathon> (so yeah, only the first two)
[18:43] <Reis> (Yeah, it's Mani and I who charged in close with him)
[18:43] <Alathon> He moves to engage Kuonji.
[18:43] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+39
[18:43] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+39 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{58}
[18:43] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+37
[18:43] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{40}
[18:43] <Alathon> you evade the first one, but the second one connects..
[18:43] <Alathon> roll 6d10 AP2
[18:43] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 6d10 AP2 --> [ 6d10=20 ]{20}
[18:44] <Alathon> roll 6d10 ep drain
[18:44] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 6d10 ep drain --> [ 6d10=41 ]{41}
[18:44] <Sheena> "Slow him down so i can get a shot in!"
[18:44] <Alathon> Sheena is up
[18:44] * Kuonji dies
[18:44] <Mani> (From 20 damage? I doubt it.)
[18:45] <Alathon> (dude, you have 46 hp)
[18:45] <Alathon> (you haven't used any ep this battle either so you're still conscious)
[18:45] <Kuonji> (er wait, what happens when you drop from EP drain?)
[18:45] <Kuonji> (dude, I only have 38 EP)
[18:45] <Alathon> (... good point)
[18:45] <Reis> (Owie)
[18:45] <Alathon> (you collapse, unconscious)
[18:45] <Kuonji> (that's my max in human form)
[18:45] <Reis> (You faint)
[18:45] <Sheena> "Breaker, Set up!"
[18:45] <Alathon> (yeah, forgot, y ou have more in the other form)
[18:45] <Sheena> Dark heart: Standby, ready
[18:46] <Mani> <comm> "Anyone getting this? Kuonji's down."
[18:46] <Kuonji> (like they care)
[18:46] * Sheena holds dark heart across her body as slats on it shift and open..
[18:47] <Kuonji> (oh well, least I won't bleed to death)
[18:47] <Mani> <comm> "Going to have to pull out if we don't get a response."
[18:47] <Sheena> (hold turn, for a good shot)
[18:47] <Reis> (Am I in range to get a full-round attack on him?)
[18:47] <Alathon> No, he just moved
[18:48] * Reis slings a pair of beams of light at him, frowning.
[18:49] <Reis> roll 1d20+32

[18:56] <Alathon> He's stung by the attack, but still in fairly good condition
[18:57] <Mani> (That's the only reason the answered, don' you know?)

[19:03] <Reis> (Ouch. What fic?)
[19:03] <Sheena> (damn you mani)
[19:05] * Sheena brings dark heart to bare on het target, The gathered magic flowing around her like dark fire flows down into heart. Parts of the staff shift and open as dark wings spring from it, the area around the tip blacks out and starts to suck in the light around it.

[19:06] <Alathon> The wave of energy slams straight into, and through the guy...
[19:06] <Alathon> when it passes, he looks.. tattered.
[19:06] <Reis> (No, the holy mother of fuck is that he's still not even at 50% yet)
[19:06] <Mani> (And I think my description was also accurate. :) )
[19:06] * Reis whistles. "Was wondering what that reuse research was going into."
[19:07] <Alathon> to add insult to injury, sheena's energy bolts from last round come around for another pass

[19:08] <Alathon> The guy turns and unlocks a series of sharp thrusts at Mani.

[19:14] <Reis> Comm: "We're down to sixty percent force, I don't know if we can hold out any longer than ten seconds!"
[19:15] <Alathon> (did you add the 10 hp regen after the fight in the dimensional barrier, and the 10 hp you healed before reaching the ward center?)
[19:15] <Mani> (Yes. Did you subtract for that ice storm?)

[19:22] <Reis> (Pass it on to us by means of telepathy? :P )

[19:25] <Alathon> (and mani regens a hp)
[19:25] <Alathon> That guy is first.. he makes a series of gestures.. and nothing seems to happen.

[19:28] <Kuonji> (lol)
[19:28] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[19:28] <Reis> (Bad time to fail a roll.)
[19:29] <Alathon> (eh, it's only fair, since reis ooc'd you the information)
[19:29] <Reis> (Heh, sorry, I thought she could see it at the time)
[19:29] <Sheena> (its getting near 10 here, and while i dont mind an day andnight game.. my dogs about to kill me)
[19:29] <Alathon> (nod)
[19:30] <Alathon> (was about to bring that up after this round)
[19:30] <Alathon> (it's getting late, do people want to keep going, or break here-ish for the week?)
[19:30] * Reis nudges Yuuno and starts floating in an attempt to get ABOVE the building, hopefully taking Yuuno with her.
[19:30] <Mani> (I'd rather not break here.)
[19:30] <Reis> (I'm good to keep going)
[19:30] <Reis> (Yeah, fairly bad time to break)
[19:30] <Alathon> (nod)
[19:30] <Reis> (Especially since we're not on next week, if I remember right?)
[19:30] <Alathon> (if you need a 10 minute break to feed your dogs or let 'em take a shit, that's cool)
[19:30] <Alathon> (and yeah, no game next week, I'm out of town)
[19:30] <Reis> (Seriously, three seconds from TPK ain't a good time to take a two-week break :P )
[19:31] <Alathon> (so lets keep things going)
[19:31] <Sheena> (sheena can take a beating for a while)
[19:31] <Alathon> (Reis, it's your turn)
[19:31] <Sheena> (IE plan something)
[19:32] <Kuonji> (yeah, I really will hunt you down and beat you with a sack of doorknobs)
[19:32] * Reis nudges Yuuno and starts floating in an attempt to get ABOVE the building, hopefully taking Yuuno with her. <- - - Did.
[19:32] <Kuonji> (you'll be in MA too, so I won't even have to go that far)
[19:33] <Alathon> Yuuno moves with Reis, over the building.
[19:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What now? Open a hole in the ceiling?"
[19:33] <Reis> "Only way out other than a dim hop."
[19:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.. you'll have to do it, all my stuff won't damage structures."
[19:34] <Alathon> (and yeah, you can get off an attack at an angle)
[19:34] <Reis> (Do I have an angle with my movement in this round?)
[19:34] <Alathon> (but it'll be tricky, you can't get all the away straight above)
[19:34] <Alathon> (yes()
[19:34] * Reis takes aim and attempts to rip off as much of the roof as possible with a burst of ribbons.
[19:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+32

[19:36] <Alathon> (yeah)
[19:36] <Alathon> Your ribbons punch holes in the roof easily, but don't really tear it off teh way a beam attack would.
[19:36] <Alathon> still, it's clearly weakened.
[19:36] <Alathon> end of round, top of the order.
[19:37] <Alathon> I suppose only Sheena can see what's going on now.. but that guy faces sheena, and says something.
[19:37] <Mani> ("Give in to the dark side, Sheena. Join me, for I am your father.")
[19:37] <Alathon> He then attacks
[19:37] <Reis> (No, father-in-law)

[19:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+43 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{62}, [ 1d20=20 ]{63}

[19:39] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{47}
[19:39] * Sheena she says seomthing while daceing around the rest
[19:39] <Alathon> (there were five attacks, one was a crit)
[19:39] <Alathon> (do you let teh first three hit?
[19:41] <Alathon> (sgheena?)
[19:41] <Sheena> (was PMin)
[19:41] <Sheena> (and how does he get 5? You made the lilmite 4 didnt you?)
[19:41] <Alathon> (same way mani gets six)
[19:41] <Alathon> (dual wielding)
[19:41] <Reis> (Two-handed? Like he's been doing for a while now?)
[19:41] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+25
[19:41] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{44}
[19:42] <Kuonji> (mercury sure is taking her sweet ass time)
[19:42] <Sheena> (eat two, dodge 3)
[19:42] <Reis> (Also, that last one was a 38, not a 48, it was +28)
[19:42] <Alathon> Sheena evades two of the strikes
[19:42] <Alathon> three hit, shattering against her forcefields.. but shattering them as well
[19:42] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[19:43] <Sheena> (do i see reis magic above me? or more to the side?)
[19:43] <Alathon> are you doing a spot check?
[19:43] <Alathon> that's.. kinda non-trivial
[19:43] <Reis> (I'm still to the side, I believe)
[19:44] <Alathon> in the middle of a fight, with a half-busted ceiling between you two
[19:44] <Sheena> (can i still fire?)
[19:44] <Sheena> (the idea is to make a new hole in the roof)
[19:44] <Alathon> you can reasonably fire at an angle
[19:44] <Reis> (Valiantly channelling Nanoha, eh? :P )
[19:45] <Mani> (I wonder when the whole place is just going to collapse...)
[19:45] * Sheena laods a spreading and removes the roof
[19:45] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27
[19:45] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{39}
[19:45] <Kuonji> (we should have just flattened the damn place)
[19:45] <Reis> (Mani belayed that back at the start of the session :P )
[19:45] <Alathon> You tear most of the roof off...
[19:46] <Alathon> the rest collapses in, piling rubble over the fallen.
[19:46] <Alathon> roll 4d6
[19:46] <Reis> (Heh. Well... they'll be harder to coup like that.)
[19:46] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=9 ]{9}
[19:46] <Alathon> which doesn't appreciably damage either
[19:46] <Mani> (There was a reason I told you to be careful taking down that first wall...)
[19:47] <Alathon> Yuuno curses, but doesn't hesitate to fly on in and start searching for Kuonji
[19:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20 strength check
[19:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20 strength check --> [ 1d20=8 ]{8}
[19:47] <Alathon> ... she's not exactly good at heavy lifting though
[19:47] <Alathon> anyways
[19:47] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[19:48] <Alathon> And everyone will hear a loud flam outside, as Mercury hits the pavement, standing.
[19:48] * Reis heads in with Yuuno, trying to keep everyone guarded. (Forget about my turn?)
[19:48] <Alathon> if you look up, there are multiple angels following her
[19:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+13 init
[19:48] <Kuonji> (what, no venus?)
[19:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+13 init --> [ 1d20=17 ]{30}
[19:49] <Sheena> "Wana switch?"
[19:49] * Alathon changes topic to 'Mercury, That Guy, Sheena, Reis, Yuuno'
[19:49] <Alathon> Mercury is clearly hurting, but still standing.
[19:49] * Reis smiles tightly when Merc arrives. "Good to see you ma'am! Be careful, there's a force plane on the building, you'll have to come in from above!"
[19:50] <Alathon> She hesitates a moment, before rushing at that plane and trying to smash it with an ice-spike
[19:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[19:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{43}
[19:50] <Reis> (... Owie.)
[19:50] <Alathon> Which fails, and the ice-spike shatters against the field.
[19:50] <Alathon> She says something un-shenshi-like.
[19:50] <Alathon> That guy speaks up again, and this time most people can hear what he says.
[19:51] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal, "But I suppose she'll come around in a century or twenty. She always does."
[19:51] <Alathon> He then continues attacking Sheena.
[19:51] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+43
[19:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+43 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{59}, [ 1d20=18 ]{61}

[19:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{36}
[19:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[19:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{37}

[19:52] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+29
[19:52] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{47}

[19:52] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{28}
[19:52] <Sheena> (...)
[19:52] <Alathon> Unfortunately, sheena evades none of them.
[19:52] <Alathon> roll 5#6d8 AP2
[19:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5#6d8 AP2 --> [ 6d8=23 ]{23}, [ 6d8=17 ]{17}, [ 6d8=17 ]{17}, [ 6d8=22 ]{22}, [ 6d8=31 ]{31}

[19:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5#6d8 EP Drain --> [ 6d8=25 ]{25}, [ 6d8=33 ]{33}, [ 6d8=25 ]{25}, [ 6d8=21 ]{21}, [ 6d8=29 ]{29}
[19:53] <Alathon> (.. damn, sheena has 5 hp left)
[19:53] <Kuonji> (and sheena bites the dust too I take it?)
[19:53] <Alathon> (and um.. do you have any ep left?)
[19:53] <Sheena> (what? Even with armor?)
[19:54] <Alathon> (er wait.. was counting the ep ones as hp, lemme see
[19:54] <Alathon> (and they're AP2
[19:54] <Alathon> (110 hp damage)
[19:54] <Alathon> (and.. 133 ep drain)
[19:54] <Alathon> (so yeah, she's laid out)
[19:55] <Sheena> (well fuck i would have winged it)
[19:55] <Alathon> Reis, You're up
[19:55] <Alathon> You'll see sheena go down
[19:55] * Reis moves up to hold the line against him, focusing on not letting anything through.
[19:56] <Reis> (Total defence)
[19:56] <Alathon> (hold the line between him and whom?)
[19:57] <Reis> (Trying to keep him from getting at Sheena or Yuuno)
[19:57] <Alathon> (er.. pick one)
[19:57] <Reis> (Dammit... Yuuno.)
[19:57] <Alathon> (yuuno's off to one side trying to did kuonji out)
[19:58] <Alathon> (mani's off to another side under rubble)
[19:58] <Alathon> (sheena's center-ish)
[19:58] <Sheena> (that sucks, I wanted to respond to his comment)
[19:58] <Reis> (Right, I'll keep Yuuno clear then)
[19:58] <Sheena> (damn old boyfriends)
[19:58] <Alathon> yuuno tries again to lift all that crap
[19:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20
[19:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{13}
[19:58] <Reis> (Hah! Oh that's awesome, you stole his girl?)
[19:58] <Alathon> and STILL can't lift it all
[19:58] <Alathon> (sigh, dc 14 ;p )
[19:58] <Reis> ('course, _we_ don't know that.)
[19:59] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[19:59] <Alathon> there are detonations outside, and the building shakes
[20:00] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+9 init
[20:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+9 init --> [ 1d20=1 ]{10}, [ 1d20=9 ]{18}
[20:00] <Reis> (Things are getting just that nice little bit more exciting?)
[20:01] * Alathon changes topic to 'Mercury, That Guy, Sheena, Gun Angel #1, Reis, Gun Angel #2, Yuuno'
[20:01] <Reis> (Whee!)
[20:01] <Sheena> (rejuvnation dont work for this does it?)
[20:01] <Alathon> (for ep? no)
[20:01] <Alathon> (wait lemme check)
[20:01] <Reis> (Yeah, you've gotta designate one when you buy the attribute)
[20:02] <Kuonji> (EP sucks)
[20:02] <Kuonji> (seriously, getting one hit KOed is lame)
[20:02] <Alathon> (you don't face many enemies that target it for a reason)
[20:02] <Mani> (Don't you have an attack that can incapacitate in one hit?)
[20:02] <Alathon> (the ones that do are very dangerous, and.. yeah ;p )
[20:03] <Kuonji> (the DC for mine is 18)
[20:03] <Kuonji> (and it's not even instant hit, like a lot of spells that can do the same are)
[20:03] <Alathon> Mercury leaps up, flies over the bulding, and then down into it..
[20:03] <Alathon> That guy spits out the word 'Senshi' like a curse.
[20:03] <Alathon> There's a bit of revulsion on his face.
[20:03] <Alathon> and contempt.
[20:04] <Kuonji> (he's one to talk, the jackass)
[20:04] <Alathon> She looks quickly moves to assist Yuuno
[20:04] <Alathon> roll 1d20+10
[20:04] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{27}
[20:04] <Alathon> And is easily able to clear away the rubbish, freeing Kuonji and tossing him into Yuuno's arms.
[20:04] <Alathon> Mercury: "Outside!"
[20:05] <Alathon> That guy is up next.. and he's unimpressed with that.
[20:05] * Reis speaks back over her shoulder. "If you get everyone together I can get them out, but I don't think we can wait for Venus!"
[20:05] <Alathon> that guy, in abyssal, "I think not."
[20:05] <Alathon> He makes a series of gestures, and...
[20:06] <Alathon> hops to a corner of the room, near the front of the building, as everyone else aches and steams.
[20:06] <Alathon> roll 20d6
[20:06] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 20d6 --> [ 20d6=74 ]{74}
[20:06] <Alathon> DC 28 fort save for half)
[20:06] <Mani> (How about those of us buried under rubble?)
[20:06] <Alathon> (no save)
[20:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+24 mercury
[20:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+24 mercury --> [ 1d20=15 ]{39}
[20:07] <Mani> (Hmph. I was hoping for 'shielded from the spell'.)
[20:07] <Reis> roll 1d20+9 Any chance my shield protects anyone else?
[20:07] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 Any chance my shield protects anyone else? --> [ 1d20=16 ]{25}
[20:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+8 yuuno
[20:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+8 yuuno --> [ 1d20=12 ]{20}
[20:07] <Sheena> (thats rather pull shit, he cast them moves?)
[20:07] <Alathon> Yuuno's forcefield fades a little, sparkling.
[20:07] <Kuonji> (so I just got hit for 74 damage, right?)
[20:07] <Alathon> (he moved then released teh spell.. it was sloppy description on my part)
[20:07] <Alathon> (yes)
[20:08] <Kuonji> (well, I'm bleeding out now)
[20:08] <Reis> (Yuuno's field doesn't cover Sakura?)
[20:08] <Mani> (Don't you have regen?)
[20:08] <Alathon> Mercury only barely seems to have been affected, but she's not thrilled.
[20:08] <Kuonji> (oh yeah, point)
[20:09] <Alathon> Yuuno's field is personal
[20:09] <Reis> (Darn)
[20:09] <Kuonji> (so will I stay where I am, or will my hp still go up by 1?)
[20:09] <Alathon> Reis's forcefield gets knocked down a notch
[20:09] * Sheena dont mind me! *toasts*
[20:09] <Alathon> (it goes up one from 74 less than where it was last round ;p )
[20:10] <Alathon> Gun Angel #1 fires.. at the barrier. Fail.
[20:10] <Alathon> this one actually looks like a typical angel.. just with a gun.
[20:10] <Alathon> It's also a bit wounded
[20:10] <Mani> (Is it a flaming gun?)
[20:10] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[20:10] <Alathon> No ;p
[20:11] * Reis moves back to cover Yuuno and Mercury with her shield, continuing to defend.
[20:11] <Alathon> Alright
[20:11] <Reis> (I'll follow them wherever they're going)
[20:11] <Alathon> another gun angel flies up out of people's line of sight.
[20:11] <Alathon> Yuuno hefts Sakura's body and flies up out of the building...
[20:12] <Alathon> Mercury, sharply, "Reis, get Sheena."
[20:12] * Reis nods. "Right ma'am!"
[20:12] <Alathon> ... and Yuuno gets shot at by an angel
[20:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[20:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{36}
[20:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34-8
[20:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34-8 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{37}
[20:13] <Alathon> Yuuno, despite carrying a body, manages to evade.
[20:13] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[20:13] <Alathon> Mercury rushes over towards the guy, then veers off towards the rubble, and begins roughly knocking it aside
[20:13] <Alathon> roll 1d20+10
[20:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{22}
[20:14] <Alathon> she's able to quickly clear the rubble,. and get Mani's body out.
[20:16] <Alathon> On seeing what's going on, that guy's face is filled with rage.. and launches a series of what looks like flaming meteorites at Sheena's body
[20:16] <Alathon> roll 4#1d20+43
[20:16] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4#1d20+43 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{61}, [ 1d20=19 ]{62}, [ 1d20=8 ]{51}, [ 1d20=15 ]{58}
[20:16] <Reis> (Gack. Any chance I can do something about that?)
[20:17] <Alathon> (no, you're over by where yuuno/sakura was)
[20:17] <Reis> (Righto)
[20:17] <Sheena> (dark hearts shield back up?)
[20:17] <Kuonji> (PK time)
[20:18] <Alathon> (not til next round, I believe)
[20:18] <Sheena> (rats)
[20:18] <Alathon> the spheres slam into her, and explode into flame, burning everyone including that guy
[20:18] <Alathon> roll 4#8d8 just sheena
[20:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4#8d8 just sheena --> [ 8d8=45 ]{45}, [ 8d8=39 ]{39}, [ 8d8=38 ]{38}, [ 8d8=30 ]{30}

[20:19] <Alathon> four reflex saves, DC 29, for half on the latter for everyone else
[20:19] <Reis> roll 4#1d20+11
[20:19] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 4#1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{13}, [ 1d20=11 ]{22}, [ 1d20=19 ]{30}, [ 1d20=4 ]{15}
[20:19] <Alathon> Sheena's body is lifted, juggled, and exploded violently.
[20:20] <Alathon> Reis doesn't dodge too well, but fortunately her boosted forcefield eats most of the hits
[20:20] * Reis winces under the impact. "Sheena-san!"
[20:21] <Alathon> lets see
[20:21] <Alathon> Mani's armor just plain absorbs almost all of that
[20:21] <Alathon> she eats another 35 damage
[20:21] <Kuonji> wow... I'm at like -145)
[20:21] <Reis> (That right there is kinda creepy. She's unconscious and almost doesn't notice.)
[20:21] <Alathon> (you're out of the building with Yuuno)
[20:21] <Sheena> (Yes foools free sheena from the her prison of flesh, It be on your heads! bwwahaha)
[20:22] <Kuonji> (oh, nm then)
[20:22] <Reis> (You are not Black Mage.)
[20:22] <Alathon> (she didn't used to be ;p )
[20:22] <Sheena> (eh?)
[20:22] <Mani> (Ewww. I don't want Sheena's prison of flesh on my head!)
[20:22] <Reis> (Yeah... it's sticky.)
[20:22] <Sheena> (It be on your heads, and shirts, and walls, and oh never mind)
[20:23] <Reis> (Uh... did Sheena survive that?)
[20:23] <Alathon> You can check when you next get a look at her body
[20:23] <Alathon> wait, you'rei n the room
[20:23] <Alathon> nope, she'd didn't, it's very exploded.
[20:23] <Reis> (Owie. Even her barrier jacket didn't protect enough?)
[20:23] <Alathon> if not for the forcefield, you'd have some sheena in your hair to remember her by
[20:24] <Alathon> roll 4#1d20+25
[20:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4#1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{30}, [ 1d20=12 ]{37}, [ 1d20=13 ]{38}, [ 1d20=4 ]{29}
[20:24] <Alathon> Mercury is unaffected by the flames
[20:24] <Alathon> roll 4#1d20+20
[20:24] * Reis grits her teeth. "Damn you..."
[20:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4#1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{38}, [ 1d20=9 ]{29}, [ 1d20=18 ]{38}, [ 1d20=14 ]{34}
[20:25] <Alathon> The guy isn't doesn't seem too badly hurt either, the magenta energies having warded off the worst of it
[20:26] <Alathon> Gun Angel #1 aims up, and fires at Yuuno
[20:26] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30

[20:26] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30-8
[20:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30-8 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{42}
[20:26] <Alathon> Even burdened by Sakura's body, Yuuno evades.
[20:26] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[20:28] * Reis rushes forward, ducking slightly to pick up Sheena's staff and then flying up as far as she can.
[20:29] <Alathon> You can clear the roof of the building, barely, with flight 1
[20:30] <Alathon> Gun Angel #2 keeps firing at Yuuno
[20:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[20:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{48}

[20:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{32}
[20:30] <Alathon> this one can actually shoot
[20:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28-8
[20:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28-8 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{34}

[20:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+24-8 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{22}
[20:30] <Alathon> And it's wearing down Yuuno's forcefield rapidly.
[20:30] * Reis pants for breath as she makes her way out, staff clutched in her off hand.
[20:31] <Alathon> Yuuno flies over to the building neighborning the one you've been fighting in, across from the one where the 2nd gun angel is, and fires an energy bolt at him.
[20:31] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[20:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{36}
[20:31] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[20:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{35}
[20:32] <Alathon> The gun angel loses its balance on the uneven roof, and gets hit despite the poor aim.
[20:32] <Mani> (What does this elf have against cover?)
[20:32] <Alathon> roll 5d8+10
[20:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=21 ]{31}
[20:32] <Sheena> (same thing sheena does, its not in there stile of fighting0
[20:32] <Alathon> (her rationale is that she wants to be where people can see her so they can get together and port the fuck out)
[20:33] <Kuonji> (where the hell is Venus?)
[20:33] <Reis> (But now I have to chase her down again to port the fuck out. :P )
[20:33] <Alathon> (take a wild guess ;p )
[20:33] <Alathon> (she's only like 20 feet from you reis)
[20:33] <Reis> (Ahh, not that far then?)
[20:33] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[20:33] <Alathon> (yeah, it's the building right next to the one youw ere fighting
[20:34] <Alathon> Mercury throw's Mani's body up out of the hole..
[20:34] <Alathon> roll 1d20+43
[20:34] <Mani> (I don't get no respect.)
[20:34] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+43 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{61}
[20:34] <Alathon> And lands it only a few feet from Yuuno.
[20:34] <Alathon> the falling damage doesn't get through the armor.
[20:35] <Alathon> she then turns and launches a series of jets of blue-white ice at the guy
[20:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[20:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{62}
[20:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+37
[20:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{46}
[20:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[20:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{42}
[20:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27
[20:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{31}
[20:35] <Alathon> He tries to evade..
[20:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+48
[20:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+48 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{54}
[20:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+46
[20:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+46 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{61}
[20:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+44
[20:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+44 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{48}
[20:35] <Alathon> the first one is perfect, but the rest are evaded
[20:36] <Alathon> roll 18d8
[20:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 18d8 --> [ 18d8=76 ]{76}
[20:36] <Alathon> He's stung badly by it though
[20:36] <Alathon> He responds with a bolt of lightning that goes through her, and on to hit everyone else in the area other than the gun angels
[20:37] <Alathon> (actually, lemme check ardius)
[20:37] <Alathon> (yup, 30 ft)
[20:37] <Alathon> roll 20d6
[20:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 20d6 --> [ 20d6=55 ]{55}
[20:37] <Mani> (It curves out through the hole in the ceiling, then loops around to hit everyone outside the building?)
[20:37] * Reis grins at seeing him _bleed_.
[20:37] <Reis> (I think it used me as a conduit)
[20:37] <Reis> (Sorry?)
[20:37] <Alathon> (yup, it's like when you see those arc generator thingies in the museum)
[20:38] <Reis> (Reflex or anything?)
[20:38] <Alathon> (that, and the ceiling is kinda gone
[20:38] <Alathon> (one sec)
[20:38] <Alathon> (okay..
[20:38] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25 mercury
[20:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 mercury --> [ 1d20=1 ]{26}
[20:38] <Alathon> Mercury... wow
[20:38] <Alathon> actually gets hurt by this
[20:38] <Reis> (Well, Merc doesn't reflex...)
[20:38] <Alathon> but not very much
[20:39] <Alathon> everyone else has 27 point lightning bolts coming at them, DC 26 reflex for half
[20:39] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[20:39] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{22}
[20:39] <Mani> (No CT armor protection...)
[20:40] <Reis> (Mani barely even notices?)
[20:40] * Reis winces at his counterstrike.
[20:40] <Alathon> (yeah no ct, but mani is still minimally affected ;p )
[20:40] <Alathon> (jut a little worse, same for sakura)
[20:41] <Alathon> Anyways
[20:41] <Alathon> Angel #1 shoots at yuuno some more
[20:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30

[20:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{35}
[20:41] <Reis> (Am I in a position to block those?)
[20:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[20:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{38}
[20:41] <Alathon> (yes, if you want)
[20:42] <Alathon> (you can roll at a -8 to do that)
[20:42] <Alathon> (er, -4 actually)
[20:42] <Alathon> (you're almost right in the way)
[20:42] * Reis braces Dark Heart in her left hand and Swordbreaker in her right, and starts spinning in an attempt at sending them all back.
[20:42] <Alathon> (and remember, -4 per attack)
[20:42] <Reis> (Sending the fourth?)
[20:42] <Alathon> roll 1d20+15
[20:42] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{32}

[20:43] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{39}

[20:43] <Alathon> and hits yuuno
[20:43] <Reis> roll 1d20+32
[20:43] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{34}
[20:43] <Reis> roll 1d20+27
[20:43] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{44}

[20:43] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{44}

[20:43] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+10 AP1 --> [ 3d8=13 ]{23}
[20:43] <Alathon> and hurts it pretty badly.
[20:44] <Alathon> You've attacked, so now you can move if you want
[20:44] * Reis backs away, attempting to scoop up Mani and make it to Yuuno.
[20:45] <Alathon> You can do that, mani is right by her.
[20:45] <Reis> (Righto)
[20:45] <Alathon> Gun angel #2 switches to shooting at you
[20:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[20:45] <Mani> (Could also just stand by me and keep your hands free.)

[20:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[20:45] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{39}
[20:45] <Alathon> (yeah, -8 for carrying her ;p )
[20:46] <Reis> (Well yes, but standing by you doesn't get us out of the way of his AoEs, nor does it get us near the others to get out)
[20:47] <Reis> (Where does my defence start? -2 for each defence I made?)
[20:47] <Reis> roll 1d20+38+2-8-2-2-2-2 Presuming that?
[20:47] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+38+2-8-2-2-2-2 Presuming that? --> [ 1d20=20 ]{44}
[20:47] <Alathon> (you were -4 per each, so -2 from teh last one you made)
[20:47] <Alathon> (no)
[20:47] <Reis> (All righty)
[20:47] <Sheena> (Dark hearts should would be up for reis now0
[20:47] <Alathon> (you don't revert back to -2s)
[20:47] <Sheena> *shield
[20:47] <Mani> (Still critted it. :) )

[20:48] <Alathon> (you might consider quitting it with those 80 mods and just do it the sane way)
[20:48] <Alathon> (by decreasing the base roll for each dodge)
[20:48] <Reis> (Heh)
[20:48] <Reis> (True)
[20:48] <Alathon> anyways
[20:48] <Reis> (It's a little simpler to just tap up and tag on another -2 though)
[20:48] <Alathon> No, Dark Heart isn't doing that
[20:49] <Alathon> roll 2#3d8+10 AP 2
[20:49] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#3d8+10 AP 2 --> [ 3d8=12 ]{22}, [ 3d8=19 ]{29}
[20:49] <Reis> (AP 2 now?)
[20:49] <Mani> (AP 2? I thought they were AP 1)
[20:49] <Alathon> (er, ap 1 yeah)
[20:49] <Alathon> (typo)
[20:49] * Reis winces under the shots, but is still standing.
[20:49] <Mani> (No problem.)
[20:50] <Alathon> Yuuno, on the comm, "Get Venus down here soon!"
[20:50] <Alathon> Yuuno fires three shots at the gun angel that was shooting at him

[20:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{23}

[20:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[20:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{45}

[20:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=19 ]{29}
[20:51] <Alathon> It's staggering, almost down.
[20:51] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[20:51] <Alathon> Mercury leaps up out of the building and lands a few feet from the rest of teh crew.
[20:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20
[20:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{15}
[20:52] <Alathon> (yup, made her jump roll)
[20:52] <Alathon> She then fires two ice beams straight up.
[20:52] <Reis> (Let me guess, she just needs to not critfail?)
[20:52] <Alathon> not even rolling those, she's shooting at thes ky ;p
[20:52] <Alathon> That Guy leaps out after her, and takes two quick swings with his energy blades.
[20:52] <Reis> (Heh)
[20:53] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+43 headshot
[20:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+43 headshot --> [ 1d20=10 ]{53}, [ 1d20=19 ]{62}

[20:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+45 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{65}
[20:53] <Alathon> She evades both.
[20:53] <Reis> (Holy fucking god. He's higher-level than the SENSHI.)
[20:53] <Alathon> He's snarling at her, spitting out obscenities in abyssal, decrying their cowardice.
[20:54] <Alathon> apparently, he's not so good at keeping up that pseudo-debonair attitude when he's not getting what he wants
[20:54] <Alathon> Gun Angel #1 shoots at Yuuno

[20:55] <Alathon> (er, -8 on the other two of course.. but still dodges two)
[20:55] <Alathon> And the last bolt drops Yuuno's forcefield.
[20:55] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[20:55] <Reis> (I'm in the area and my field's back up, btw)
[20:56] * Reis puts Mani down next to Yuuno, and holds for a moment.
[20:56] <Alathon> (nod)
[20:56] <Alathon> (wait, was that the boosted one, two ranks?)
[20:57] <Reis> (Yep)
[20:57] <Alathon> okay.. it hits Reis' field and diminishes it, but doesn't finish it
[20:57] <Alathon> Reis, go
[20:57] * Reis puts Mani down next to Yuuno, and holds for a moment. < - - - -
[20:57] <Reis> (Holding action for the moment)

[20:58] <Mani> (Stop pissing off the DM by adding all those modifiers. :p )
[20:58] <Reis> roll 1d20+32 Can I headshot with this?
[20:58] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+32 Can I headshot with this? --> [ 1d20=4 ]{36}

Session 72 - part 4

Postby Alathon » Fri May 02, 2008 11:56 pm

Session 72 - part 4

[21:06] <Alathon> She jumps back out, to the party, but is done for the round.
[21:06] <Alathon> She's noticeably injured as well.
[21:06] <Alathon> Mercury: "Get us out of here, now!"
[21:06] * Reis glances at Mercury. "Go?"
[21:06] <Reis> "Roger!"
[21:06] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[21:06] <Alathon> (go go gadget wisdom roll)
[21:06] <Kuonji> (we're finally all together?)
[21:07] <Alathon> (yes)
[21:07] <Kuonji> (hurrah)
[21:07] * Reis crosses the Devices in front of her, triangle spinning out underneath her. "Swordbreaker, Withdraw!"
[21:07] <Reis> roll 1d20+5
[21:07] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{23}
[21:07] <Alathon> Aaaaaaaaand.
[21:07] <Alathon> The party has left the building.
[21:07] <Kuonji> (phew)
[21:07] <Kuonji> (thank god there wasn't a dim anchor)
[21:07] <Alathon> You appear at your only available otherdimensional coordinates, on the telepad in the bar.
[21:08] <Mani> (What Yuuno did was something different, though, yes?)
[21:08] <Alathon> (yes)
[21:08] <Kuonji> (so, hop back to CT before the senshi draw undue attention?)
[21:08] <Alathon> (combination of creating a pocket universe, and forcing everyone he targeted into it)
[21:08] <Alathon> I think we'll end here
[21:08] <Kuonji> (and damn, I KNEW we should have looted those guys when we had the chance)
[21:08] <Kuonji> (NOOOOOO)
[21:08] <Reis> (... Actually, I think we return to the same place we landed at.)
[21:08] <Alathon> Everyone's on the pad, except Sheena.
[21:08] <Kuonji> (you bastard)
[21:08] <Alathon> who's in pieces
[21:08] <Kuonji> (...)
[21:08] <Kuonji> (say what?)
[21:08] <Mani> Yuuno's spell would let us move and return at a different spot that we left from, though, right?
[21:09] <Alathon> (you missed teh part where she got blown up?)
[21:09] <Reis> (Hm, it might, actually)
[21:09] <Kuonji> (I didn't realise she was dead dead)
[21:09] <Alathon> (I think the only coordinates he has are back in CT, so functionally yes)
[21:09] <Kuonji> (so, she actually got PKed?)
[21:09] <Kuonji> (fuck.)
[21:09] <Alathon> but we'll deal with that next week
[21:09] <Kuonji> (you mean next next week?)
[21:09] <Kuonji> (dude, that's EVIL)
[21:09] * Reis shivers violently, eyes wide and staring forward as her jacket drops.
[21:09] * Sheena is bisy tracking down thoes pussy little angel souls around... bwahaha
[21:10] <Alathon> that guy was kinda pissed that he was losing his targets
[21:10] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@203-59-117-240.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[21:10] <Alathon> no game next week :(
[21:10] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[21:10] <Mani> Well, it seemed like we were in another version of the town and when the spell ended, we came back at the corresponding spot in the real world.
[21:10] <Alathon> I'm outta town
[21:10] <Kuonji> (dude... god damn... I mean.. god damn)
[21:10] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[21:10] <Alathon> You can discuss it more ingame with Yuuno
[21:10] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[21:10] <Ataru> this is a pretty fucked up place to end
[21:10] <Alathon> but the limitation with Yuuno's power is that, that dimension only extends a few blocks
[21:10] * Sheena is now known as DCG
[21:11] <Alathon> it gives DCG plenty of time to get to work
[21:11] <Pale_Wolf> (That's still a few blocks that can get us away from pursuit, actually.)
[21:11] <DCG> eh work?
[21:11] <Yarrow> Well, we can always hang out at the Bar for a while and then return and immediately teleport/fly away.
[21:11] <Ataru> new charachter
[21:12] <Pale_Wolf> (Yeah, though, didn't we leave our Bar-Money with Pluto this time?)
[21:12] <Yarrow> Mm. It wasn't played out. Did we, Alathon?
[21:12] <Yarrow> You can drop the parentheses, btw, Pale. :p
[21:12] <Pale_Wolf> I just noticed :P
[21:13] <Rockman_Zero> ....
[21:13] <Rockman_Zero> Holy shit.
[21:13] <Rockman_Zero> DCG: My condolences man, :(
[21:13] <Alathon> you were asked to.. I'll assume you did
[21:13] <Ataru> yeah, we came kinda close to a TPK
[21:13] <Alathon> unless you want to have not done so
[21:13] <Pale_Wolf> Well... hopefully there's a REALLY cheap inn we can pay for off our bodies.
[21:13] <Pale_Wolf> At the time, we knew of no reason not to :P
[21:13] <Yarrow> Well, we would have tried, I think, so unless Pluto couldn't accept it for some reason, I guess we turned it in.
[21:14] <Yarrow> I really hope you mean life force, Pale.
[21:14] <DCG> eh
[21:14] <Pale_Wolf> Yes, that kind of payment.
[21:14] <DCG> im not the one who has to deal with a cleric now, so ha ha
[21:15] <Ataru> it's pretty gay that the enemies can get rezzed but we can't
[21:15] <Yarrow> What I wanted to say to That Guy, btw, was asking his name.
[21:15] * Yarrow ponders.
[21:15] <Yarrow> I don't think Sheena's sexuality had anything to do with it.
[21:15] <DCG> Sure it does
[21:15] <DCG> she so ganked that dudes all girl firend
[21:15] <Rockman_Zero> So, here's what I'm confused about.
[21:16] <Rockman_Zero> ...
[21:16] <DCG> what umbra dont grow on tress ya know.
[21:16] <DCG> *hwat
[21:16] <Rockman_Zero> What the HELL did the party do to piss off Mr. T!? o_O;
[21:16] <Ataru> yeah, I wonder how Sheena's girl is going to take the news
[21:16] <Yarrow> Poorly.
[21:16] <Rockman_Zero> Because... it sounds like he's the one who kicked their asses.
[21:16] <Ataru> how does it even remotely sound like Mr. T?
[21:17] <Rockman_Zero> [12:19] <Pale_Wolf> First, we arrived at the place with the guy and his four mooks.
[21:17] <Rockman_Zero> [12:20] <Pale_Wolf> We talked smack for a while, Yuuno yanked us into another dimension, and we brawled with the mooks, taking them all down.
[21:17] <Rockman_Zero> [12:20] <Pale_Wolf> After that, we returned, faced off with the dude.
[21:17] <Rockman_Zero> [12:20] <Pale_Wolf> He DEMOLISHED us.
[21:17] <Rockman_Zero> <- Thats how.
[21:18] <Rockman_Zero> All kidding aside though...
[21:21] <Alathon> (I'm gonna grab a sandwich real quick before subway closes)
[21:21] <Alathon> (be back in like 15ish)
[21:21] <DCG> Hmm.. ya know now al needs to make two schools of power or what ever it is clerics get.
[21:21] <Yarrow> Ok. XP then?
[21:21] <DCG> For serenity
[21:21] <Alathon> what?
[21:21] <Yarrow> Shperes?
[21:21] <Alathon> as opposed to assigning her spheres?
[21:21] <DCG> is that is?
[21:21] <Alathon> it'd be healing and something
[21:21] <Yarrow> Spheres, that is.
[21:21] <Yarrow> Hearing and Compassion. :)
[21:22] <DCG> compassion=moonkick
[21:22] <Yarrow> Ok... who swapped my keyboard for DCG's?
[21:22] <Pale_Wolf> Heh.
[21:22] <Alathon> that would fit, but I'd have to look at the compassion sphere, I don't know those... they're in one of those addons
[21:22] <DCG> better run al,
[21:22] <Alathon> there's a moon sphere too
[21:22] <Yarrow> Actually, it was a joke.
[21:22] <Ataru> Man, poor Yuuno
[21:23] <Ataru> he's gonna freak the fuck out when he has the chance
[21:23] <Rockman_Zero> Did someone manage to recover Dark Heart? :P
[21:24] <Yarrow> Of course.
[21:24] <Rockman_Zero> Right.

Session 73

Postby Alathon » Sat May 03, 2008 12:11 am

Session 73

[12:14] <Alathon> anyways
[12:14] <Alathon> lets get started
[12:14] <Alathon> we left off last week with the party having narrowly escaped a very messy situation
[12:14] <Kuonji> (poor sheena ;_;)
[12:14] <Alathon> Mercury was trapped in what looked to be an ambush, and the party and Venus were sent in for the rescue
[12:16] <Alathon> While the Senshi drew fire and tried to whittle down the odds (and generally survive) in the air, the team rushed to engage the enemy mage responsible for anti-teleport wards and other barriers
[12:16] <DCG> (it was messy! sheeena all over the place)
[12:16] <Alathon> Thanks to a timely dimensional barrier by Yuuno, the team was able to take down the enemy commander's guards with a minimum of fuss
[12:16] <Reis> (Oh indeed, I suppose we'll all need to peel bits out.)
[12:17] <Alathon> though not without effort, and when the team engaged the commander himself, an Umbrae that nobody has met before, things turned ugly
[12:17] <Mani> (Not necessarily. Did the roof collapse before that happened?)
[12:18] <Alathon> The team escaped, eventually, by dim-hopping to Nanoha's Bar
[12:18] <Alathon> but not before the battle claimed a casualty: Sheena
[12:19] <Alathon> The nature of her death precluded bringing home her body for a proper burial, but Reis managed to grab Dark Heart on the way out.
[12:19] <Alathon> Which brings us to the present.
[12:19] <Alathon> You're all standing on a telepad outside the Bar
[12:19] <Kuonji> (not all of us are standing :P)
[12:19] <Mani> (Actually, I think Sakura & Mani are lying there or being carried.)
[12:20] <Alathon> The room is friggin enourmous, and the senshi are looking around, scoping the place out.. a little warily.
[12:20] <Alathon> (true)
[12:20] <Alathon> (I should say, everyone who is conscious si standing ;p )
[12:20] <Reis> (Hiya!)
[12:20] <Mani> (Pretty bad encounter when only 1 PC is left standing...)
[12:21] <Alathon> (and that was with a massive crit hit with a 'finishing move' attack)
[12:21] * Reis shivers violently as she looks around.
[12:21] <Kuonji> (I'm pretty sure Al was planning a TPK)
[12:21] <Alathon> (and all the wall trash being taken out first in a seperate fight)
[12:21] <Alathon> Yuuno looks.. even more nervous.
[12:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Should I just take us straight back home?"
[12:21] <Alathon> She sounds like she really wants to.
[12:21] <Kuonji> (yes)
[12:22] <Alathon> Venus and Mercury, in sync, "Yes."
[12:22] <Reis> (Do we know where the Dim Hop back home will take us? Where we just left from, or CT?)
[12:22] * Reis nods jerkily. "Yeah..."
[12:22] <DCG> (yuuno just knows the CT dim hope location)
[12:22] <Alathon> (it will take you to the coordinates in CT)
[12:23] <Reis> (All righty)
[12:23] <Kuonji> (unless he botches it)
[12:23] <Reis> (It's Yuuno. Bets?)
[12:23] <Mani> (Hnh. I thought it took you back to where you left. That drastically changes what this session's going to be like. :) )
[12:23] <Kuonji> (Kuonji puts up a week's stay in China)
[12:24] <Alathon> Yuuno wastes no time in casting, and a large green magic circle inscribed with runes spins out beneath first Yuuno, then the entire party.
[12:24] <Mani> (Yuuno has DR, fortunately.)
[12:24] <Reis> (Indeed. Well, critfailed dim hops are always good for surprise story arcs)
[12:24] <Alathon> (I was never really clear before how it'd work.. said I had to decide which it'd be, because I didn't really want dim hop to be a perfect 'recall home' power)
[12:25] <Mani> (But is it one, now?)
[12:25] <Alathon> Aaaaand...
[12:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+2
[12:25] * Reis looks down at the staff in her left hand, blinking slowly.
[12:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{7}
[12:25] <Reis> (Hahahahahahahahah!)
[12:26] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Dammit!"
[12:26] <Alathon> She sounds half angry, half afraid.
[12:26] <Alathon> And, starts over.
[12:26] <Mani> (Well, two consecutive critfails have happened before with AlaBot...)
[12:26] <Alathon> (I kinda hope that doesn't happen)
[12:26] <Kuonji> (... TPK?)
[12:26] <Alathon> (because I'll have to totally ad hoc it if she botches the teleport, instead of just mostly ad hoccing it ;p )
[12:26] <Mani> (Hell, I got one for each of my weapons in my first set of attacks!)
[12:26] <Alathon> roll 1d20+2
[12:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{13}
[12:27] <Kuonji> (PHEW)
[12:27] <Reis> (Just yesterday DCG rolled a 3, then DRed and got ANOTHER 3.)
[12:27] <Mani> (In a particular fight... Not my first set ever.)
[12:27] <Alathon> This time, the magic 'clicks' into place, and the party vanishes... and when you reappear, you see around you the walls of Espionage HQ.
[12:27] <Mani> (Some of us do.)
[12:28] * Reis is still shivering as she taps Swordbreaker to turn it back into a cross and pulls out her communicator, trying to call Usagi.
[12:29] <Mani> (Hmph. And I had a basic plan in mind for what we should do in the Bar with no currency.
[12:29] <Kuonji> (yes, well, this is better)
[12:29] <Alathon> (sell plasma?)
[12:29] <Kuonji> (sell Reis?)
[12:30] <Mani> (No, go to the trader Celeste introduced us to last time and see about selling either some CT items or a minor magical item of ours.)
[12:30] <Alathon> (well, the smart thing to do would be to try to barter some of your loot for a collection device)
[12:30] <Alathon> (yeah)
[12:30] <Reis> (Wait, why am I the one who gets sold off?)
[12:30] <Alathon> (the inconvenience of being penniless int he bar is that you need money to own money ;p )
[12:30] <Alathon> (you've got a strong linker core, you'll fetch a good price)
[12:31] <Reis> ( ;_; )
[12:31] <Reis> (No love... none at all...)
[12:31] <Alathon> (and there's a lot of demand out there for readheaded witches)
[12:31] <Mani> (And see if she could help us out with advice or maybe (but unlikely) some credit or letting us leave something as security for a device and SLUs until we can get our own stash back.)
[12:31] <Alathon> Anyways
[12:31] <Alathon> You'll get Usagi on the comm promptly.
[12:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm on my way down."
[12:31] <Mani> (Until you get dragon slaved by one you just bought.)
[12:31] <Alathon> And she's off it promptly.
[12:32] <Reis> (Didn't even get the chance to report on it :P )
[12:32] <Alathon> there's only one person in the room.
[12:32] * Reis sighs and puts the comm away.
[12:32] <Alathon> You'll recognize him, he's another Operations metahuman, by the name of Yurimaru.
[12:32] <Mani> (Mm, is this the telepad room?)
[12:32] <Alathon> He quickly comes over to the party, then stops a little short.
[12:32] <Alathon> (yes)
[12:33] <Alathon> Yurimaru: "I know some first aid.. is it needed?"
[12:33] <Alathon> He's looking down at the two unconscious, and not-undamaged bodies.
[12:34] <Alathon> Venus: "No, both regenerate.. but thanks."
[12:34] <Alathon> She reaches up to cover he faces with her hand and drags them down, as if trying to get the sleep out of her eyes.
[12:34] * Reis shivers, nodding. "Y-yeah, they'll be okay..."
[12:34] <Alathon> Yurimaru: "Where's --."
[12:34] <Alathon> He cuts off.
[12:35] * Reis shakes her head.
[12:35] <Alathon> Mercury gives a sharp shake of her head, as she steps off the pad.
[12:35] <Alathon> She's very obviously messed up.
[12:35] <Alathon> Not quite so much as Jupiter was after the attempted attack on the Hand of God, but she's suffered a lot more physical damage than a normal human would be able to take without collapsing.
[12:36] <Alathon> She walks, slowly, over to a wall, turns her back to it, leans against it.. then slides down against it and wraps her arms around her knees.
[12:36] * Reis crouches down and takes a closer look at Mani and Kuonji, just to be _sure_ there's nothing more wrong with them.
[12:36] <Alathon> medical rolls
[12:37] <Reis> roll 2#1d20+5
[12:37] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 2#1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{12}, [ 1d20=3 ]{8}
[12:37] <Alathon> Mani is clearly unconscious but regenerating.
[12:37] <Alathon> Kuonji's regenerating too, but you can't tell if his sleep is natural, coma, or what.
[12:37] <Alathon> (hm)
[12:37] <Mani> (I'll be fine. It's only a matter of moments before I'm up to -100...)
[12:38] <Alathon> (you've got judge don't you)
[12:38] <Reis> (Heheh.)
[12:38] <Reis> (Yeah)
[12:38] <Mani> (Btw, are we being carried or are we on the floor?)
[12:38] <Alathon> Mani is a bit below -100/216, kuonji is around -55/234
[12:38] <Alathon> You're ont he floor now
[12:38] <Alathon> probably shoudl have mentioned someone putting youd own ;p
[12:38] <Alathon> Mercury is 260/520, and Venus is 420/560
[12:39] <Mani> ("Just leave them lying on the telepad. I'm sure nothing can happen to them there.")
[12:39] <Kuonji> (wait, I dropped below 0 hp?)
[12:39] <Alathon> The senshi don't seem to inclined to move, maybe they know the schedule
[12:39] <Mani> (Horrid wilting area effect and collapsing roof and meteor swarm.)
[12:39] <Alathon> yeah, when the room got blasted with a meteor swarm
[12:40] <Kuonji> (Daaaaamn)
[12:40] * Reis shivers again and just drops to her knees, wrapping her arms around herself.
[12:42] <Mani> (Good thing we're not playing by the old -10 hp = death D&D rules. :) )
[12:42] <Reis> (Heh. Indeed)
[12:42] <Alathon> Venus, quietly and bitterly, "all that time in Carson, and I fuck it up out of the blue five years later.."
[12:42] * Reis looks up. "M-ma'am?"
[12:43] <Alathon> She looks up sharply.
[12:43] <Alathon> Venus: "Nothing. We'll discuss it later."
[12:43] <Alathon> Venus then gets an irritated look on her face.
[12:43] * Reis nods. "S-sorry..."
[12:43] <Alathon> Venus, irritated: "Where the hell is Usagi, anyway."
[12:43] <Reis> "Sh-she said she was coming down."
[12:43] <Alathon> She looks over at the door, then crouches by the two unconscious bodies and checks pulses, examines wounds, etc.
[12:44] <Alathon> Yuuno just sort of stands around, occasionally glancing over at Dark Heart.
[12:45] <Alathon> Venus' and Mercury's wounds heal much faster than everyone elses.
[12:45] <Alathon> By the time Usagi arrives, several minutes later, Venus is entirely healed.
[12:45] <Alathon> And Mercury is well on the way.
[12:46] <Alathon> When Usagi arrives she rushes over to Mani and Kuonji without comment, and begins pouring healing magic into them.
[12:46] <Alathon> (mani, you'll wake up -- Kuonji, not)
[12:46] <Reis> "Th-thank you Usagi-san..."
[12:46] <Alathon> Usagi then looks up.
[12:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Where's Sheena? She taking the long way home in the air?"
[12:46] * Mani quietly forms a crystal sword in her hand and then opens her eyes.
[12:47] <Reis> "N-no, she's... she..."
[12:47] <Alathon> Venus has stepped back to let Usagi do her thing.
[12:47] * Mani gets up, looking around.
[12:47] <Alathon> Venus, a little sharply: "Let's clear the telepad."
[12:47] <Alathon> Yuuno does so quickly.
[12:47] * Mani picks up Sakura and clears the pad.
[12:47] * Reis nods shakily, and gets up to move.
[12:50] <Alathon> With everyone off to the side, the conversation, such as it is, resumes.
[12:50] <Alathon> Venus has a quick, quiet word with Usagi, and Usagi gets a stricken look on her face.
[12:50] <Alathon> (those with enhanced hearing can reasonably guess what's being said ;p )
[12:51] <Alathon> Usagi glances over at Dark Heart, then up at Reis, then over at Yuuno, then back to Venus.
[12:51] <Reis> (Well, I imagine those without have SOME idea...)
[12:52] <Kuonji> ("Well, it saves us the trouble of doing it ourselves a few years down the line."
[12:52] <Kuonji> )
[12:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "What happened to Kuonji?"
[12:52] <DCG> (=\)
[12:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "His body mended well enough, but he's drained."
[12:52] <Alathon> She looks around for someone to answer her question.
[12:53] <Mani> "We encountered a powerful umbrae."
[12:53] <Alathon> Usagi clenches her teeth at that.
[12:53] <Reis> "W-we encountered an, um... umbrae, he drained while attacking..."
[12:53] <Alathon> Mercury, quietly, from like ten or fifteen feet away where she's sitting against the wall, speaks up.
[12:54] <Alathon> Mercury, quietly: "We threw them at the enemy commander, more or less."
[12:54] <Alathon> Venus gets an angry look on her face, but doesn't disagree.
[12:54] <DCG> (well we kinda charged in guns blazing)
[12:54] <Alathon> Venus: "More like I did; you didn't have time to do anything other than duck."
[12:55] <Alathon> Mercury: "My order."
[12:55] <Mani> "I think it's more fair to say that we took it upon ourselves to throw us at him."
[12:55] <Alathon> Venus looks confused for a moment, then glances up at the comm unit on Mercury's ear, then looks guilty.
[12:56] <Alathon> Usagi growls, "Time enough to assign blame when we have a debriefing."
[12:56] <Alathon> She stalks over to Mercury and gets started on healing her.
[12:57] <Mani> (I suppose we'd have basic gear, like canteens, on us?)
[12:57] <Mani> (Not full packs, of course.)
[12:58] <Alathon> Um.. we haven't really been keeping track of the mundane stuff much since Kuonji usually handles it
[12:58] <Alathon> I'd be willing to say yes , you have something to drink
[12:58] <Alathon> and it's probably water
[12:58] * Mani goes over to Sakura and pours some water on him.
[12:58] <Alathon> Sakura shinks, then vanishes into a lump inside his now-oversized clothes.
[12:58] * Kuonji sits bolt upright to find himself trapped in a world of black
[12:59] <Mani> "Sakura, are you awake in there?"
[12:59] * Kuonji starts squirming
[12:59] <Kuonji> "What the fuck?"
[12:59] <Mani> "Hang on. I'll give you a hand."
[12:59] * Mani helps him out.
[12:59] <Alathon> You'll manage to get out.
[12:59] <Alathon> Things as they are now:
[13:00] <Alathon> Usagi is leaning over mercury, healing her, while Mercury sits in a ball against the wall.
[13:00] <Alathon> Venus is just sort of standing around looking somewhere between angry and guilty.
[13:00] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little shellshocked, as does Reis.
[13:00] <Alathon> Mani is standing over you.
[13:00] <Kuonji> "What the hell happened? I feel like I've been threw a woodchipper."
[13:00] <Alathon> Sheena is nowhere to be seen.
[13:00] <Alathon> and Reis has dark Heart.
[13:00] * Kuonji looks around
[13:00] <Kuonji> "Where's Sheena?"
[13:01] <Reis> "She's... she didn't... get out."
[13:01] <Mani> "I don't know the details, but she was killed."
[13:01] <Alathon> Venus: "bastard got her."
[13:01] <Kuonji> "..."
[13:01] <Mani> (Mani's not one for euphanisms.)
[13:02] * Kuonji is just sort of... speechless
[13:02] <DCG> (mani: Dibs on the water bed)
[13:02] <Mani> (Oh, yeah... Because it would go so well with sharp claws.)
[13:02] <Alathon> (who's going to tell celeste? one..two..three..notit!"
[13:02] <DCG> (my cat seems to like it)
[13:02] <Mani> (*purr* *purr* *knead* *YOWL*)
[13:03] <Alathon> (heh, comical as it seems, I think waterbeds are tough enough to withstand claws
[13:03] <Mani> (Normal claws, maybe, but super strong level 20 claws? ;) )
[13:03] <Alathon> (tell me when you buy those ;p )
[13:03] <Alathon> (well.. you have the strength, but normal claws.. hm)
[13:03] <Alathon> (yeah, I guess you could probably tear through a waterbed lining)
[13:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It was all so fast.."
[13:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I thought we had a chance, after we got those guards down quick.."
[13:04] * Mani nods and frowns.
[13:05] <Kuonji> "I couldn't even touch the bastard."
[13:05] <Alathon> (dude, you never tried, how would you know ;p )
[13:06] <Mani> "I could tell he was a good fighter--better than any of us--but if I'd known how strong his spells and weapon were..."
[13:06] * Mani shakes her head.
[13:06] <Mani> (I think he did take one shot just to make him dodge.)
[13:06] <Kuonji> (I tried hitting him with an attack :P)
[13:06] * Reis nods. "Y-yeah... I thought we'd be able to keep him weighed down, and hit him a few times..."
[13:06] <Alathon> (that was the paralysis net, right?)
[13:06] <Kuonji> (yeah)
[13:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Sheena hit him, with her Breaker.."
[13:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I think that's when things got ugly, when he was actually injured."
[13:07] * Mani seems pretty calm but closed.
[13:07] * Mani looks at Yuuno.
[13:08] <Mani> "Do you have any idea whether Sheena will be coming back?"
[13:08] <Alathon> Yuuno suddenly looks hopeful.
[13:08] * Mani glances around the roob briefly.
[13:08] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You thinks he can?"
[13:08] <Mani> (room)
[13:08] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I mean, that I could, was part of the curse.."
[13:08] <Alathon> She droops.
[13:08] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I don't think she ever mentioned anything.. I mean, not that she could actually do."
[13:09] <Mani> "I know I did, so it's not impossible. I don't know whether she has any such ability though."
[13:09] <Mani> "Mm."
[13:09] * Reis closes her eyes. "I... I didn't hear it, and I didn't see anything like that on her research desk..."
[13:09] <Mani> <Abyssal> "How about you, Dark Heart?"
[13:10] <Alathon> Dark Heart, in abyssal: "Humans who are not destroyed come back."
[13:10] <Mani> <Abyssal> "As herself?"
[13:10] <Alathon> Dark heart doesn't answer that one.
[13:10] * Reis blinks, and was hopeful for a... moment, at least.
[13:10] <Alathon> Venus mutters, "Way to go, buddha jewel."
[13:11] <Reis> (... That's an awesome nickname.)
[13:11] <Alathon> Venus: "What'd it say?"
[13:11] <Kuonji> (venus knows abyssal?)
[13:11] <Reis> (Just saw our reactions, I guess :P )
[13:11] <Alathon> Venus: "I got something about coming back, and figured reincarnation, but I've only started.."
[13:12] <Mani> "I asked if it had any idea and it said all humans who are not destroyed come back."
[13:12] * Reis nods.
[13:12] <Mani> "I asked, 'As herself?' and it didn't answer."
[13:12] <Alathon> Venus: "Figures."
[13:12] * Kuonji is just sort of floating in the air, not really paying attention to anything
[13:13] <Mani> "You probably shouldn't change back for a while, Sakura. Your energy was drained low enough to knock you out in human form."
[13:14] <Alathon> Venus: "fucking leeches."
[13:14] <DCG> (sheena:SHould try it some time!)
[13:14] <Alathon> Venus closes her eyes, and takes one deep breath.. then another.. then another.
[13:15] <Alathon> Yuuno then gets a wildly hopeful expression on her face.
[13:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "The Queen can bring her back!"
[13:15] <Alathon> This gets immediate glances from both Senshi and Usagi, all of them with a hint of chagrin on their faces.
[13:15] * Mani gives Yuuno a look of sympathy.
[13:15] <Alathon> Venus shakes her head a little.
[13:16] <Mani> (chagrin?)
[13:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "But.. the entire city, just a couple decades ago!"
[13:16] <Alathon> (yes)
[13:16] * Reis winces at the Senshi's expressions.
[13:16] <Alathon> Venus: "No, she .. can't."
[13:16] <Reis> "Wh... Is something different with this...?"
[13:16] <Alathon> Venus hesitates slightly choosing the word can't.
[13:17] <Mani> "She hasn't brought back anyone else killed in battle."
[13:18] <Alathon> Yuuno, eyes narrowing: "What do you mean she can't?"
[13:18] <Mani> "And we don't even have Sheena's body."
[13:18] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over to Mani, an angry and accusing look on her face.
[13:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "But!"
[13:18] <Alathon> She whirls around and looks at Reis
[13:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "We have Dark Heart, that's got to count for something."
[13:20] <Alathon> Venus walks over behind Yuuno, and rests a hand carefully on her shoulder.
[13:20] <Alathon> Yuuno flinches as she touches her, but doesn't move.
[13:20] <Alathon> Venus: "I'm sorry.."
[13:21] * Reis closes her eyes.
[13:21] <Alathon> Yuuno hesitates a few moments, blinking, before breaking into tears and sort of collapsing onto Venus, who quickly catches her and pulls her tight.
[13:22] <Alathon> Venus: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry.."
[13:22] <Mani> (I suddenly imagined if we also had Gerand here to offer consolation...)
[13:22] <Alathon> She murmurs this quietly, rocking Yuuno ever-so-slightly.
[13:22] <Reis> ("Bah, she's never coming back, get over it!")
[13:22] <Reis> (Yeah, that'd be Gerand's... consolation.)
[13:23] <Alathon> (Gerand: "Hey, at least her body was blown to bits, so she won't come back as a zombie."
[13:23] <Mani> (That sounds pretty accurate...)
[13:23] <Alathon> Usagi, a little uncomfortable, speaks quietly.
[13:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll leave the debriefing off a few hours."
[13:24] * Reis nods slowly.
[13:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "We should probably clear out to one of the suites.. or somewhere else if you like."
[13:24] <Alathon> Usagi addresses this mostly to Mani.
[13:24] <Mani> "I think a suite would be best."
[13:24] * Kuonji seems to snap out of his funk a bit and finally speaks up
[13:24] <Kuonji> "Who's going to tell Celeste?'
[13:25] <Alathon> Yurimaru has watched all this without comment from his position b ack at the door, where he moved after the order to clear the telepad.
[13:25] <DCG> (send the new guy)
[13:25] <Mani> ("Yuuno will.")
[13:25] <DCG> (she gets snacky when upset)
[13:25] <Alathon> Usagi closes her eyes and mouthes something that looks a lot like it starts with a V.
[13:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "If she doesn't have some sort of mystical connection and know already, we'll go together."
[13:26] * Reis winces. "... Uh... Right..."
[13:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "To invite her to the wake. I'll organize."
[13:26] * Mani nods.
[13:27] <Mani> (Celeste sees us all turn up at her door and with a big smile exclaims, "You found out about the engagement and this is a surprise bridal shower, isn't it!")
[13:28] <Alathon> (too likely to incite her to an insane murderous rampage)
[13:28] <Kuonji> (ouch)
[13:28] <Alathon> (otherwise it'd be funny)
[13:28] <Kuonji> (dude, you HAVE to do it now XD_
[13:28] <Reis> (... Owie. That would be... hilariously painful.)
[13:28] <Kuonji> )
[13:29] <Kuonji> (hahaha, even better, the Umbrae can reproduce like the Asari in ME)
[13:29] <Reis> (Oh? How's that?)
[13:30] <Mani> (Maybe she knows Sheena is dead and just says that to torment us.)
[13:30] <Kuonji> (the asari is an all female race that mates with psychic abilities :P)
[13:30] <Kuonji> (hahaha)
[13:30] <Alathon> (you find out that Sheena is reincarnated... as Celeste's baby)
[13:30] <Mani> (In fact, she hired the guy to kill her, just for that result.)
[13:31] <Alathon> (hired? he was a personal friend, it was just a favor ;p )
[13:31] <Mani> (Why do you think he put so much effort into destroying her specifically?)
[13:31] <Mani> (He'll step in and be Sheena's dad.)
[13:31] <Reis> (I thought it was 'cause she stole his old girlfriend :P )
[13:32] <Mani> (No, the two of them wanted the perfect child but couldn't have one of their own. Sheena was the solution.)
[13:33] <Mani> "Are we going to consider the possibility that Sheena might come back for a while before having, well, a funeral and such?"
[13:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yes, but not today."
[13:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "And.. bear in mind, being reincarnated with your full 'self' remaining the same, or even similar.."
[13:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "Is not common."
[13:35] <Alathon> She lets out a long breath.
[13:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "Let's take this discussion upstairs."
[13:36] * Mani nods.
[13:36] <Alathon> Usagi leans over and asks Mercury how she feels.. Mercury nods, and Usagi heads for the door.
[13:36] <Mani> (I imagine being reincarnated and not remaining the same is pretty uncommon, too. :) )
[13:36] * Mani follows.
[13:37] <Alathon> (well, Dark heart just intimated the opposite)
[13:37] <Alathon> Yuuno and Venus stay behind.
[13:37] <Alathon> Venus still consoling Yuuno.
[13:38] <Mani> (I meant the not-reborn-as-a-baby-with-no-memories form of reincarnation. :p )
[13:39] <Alathon> Usagi will lead you all to a lift, and then to one of the suites you're familiar with.
[13:39] * Reis grits her teeth, frowning to herself.
[13:40] * Kuonji floats after everyone
[13:40] <Mani> (That probably looks pretty weird...)
[13:40] <Mani> (The gritting teeth & frowning thing.)
[13:41] <Reis> (Heh.)
[13:42] <Alathon> She more or less flops hard into one of the chairs, eyes closed.
[13:43] * Mani takes a seat.
[13:44] * Kuonji continues to float in silence
[13:44] * Reis sighs and finds a seat off to the side.
[13:44] <Kuonji> (heh, almost typoed that as gloat)
[13:44] <Reis> (Hahah!)
[13:44] <Mani> (HaHa! She died and I didn't!)
[13:45] <DCG> (sakura: That'll teach her.. no one to change my cothes out for a dress and panties any more. Im free!)
[13:45] <DCG> (corse it was mani the hole time)
[13:45] <Alathon> Everyone just sorta sits in solitude for a good while
[13:45] <Alathon> Until someone chooses to break it.
[13:45] <Kuonji> (HINT HINT)
[13:45] <Kuonji> (:P)
[13:46] * Mani remains silent with her thoughts.
[13:46] <Mani> (Cats are good at that.)
[13:47] * Reis raises the staff and whispers to it.
[13:48] <Kuonji> (what's she say?)
[13:48] <Kuonji> (Kuonji has super ears :P)
[13:48] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:48] <Mani> (All remaining party members besides Reis do. :) )
[13:48] <Reis> (... Doh. May as well just have this out in the main channel then, eh? :P )
[13:49] <Alathon> Dark Heart, in abyssal: "I continue to function."
[13:49] <Kuonji> (kuonji now has enhanced smell too... I have a feeling that's going to bite him in the ass at some point.)
[13:49] <Alathon> (it's already done that to Mani, she gets extra vivid descriptions of smelly places)
[13:49] <Reis> Whisper: "I'm... sorry, I couldn't get to Sheena-san in time..."
[13:51] <Kuonji> "What the hell is going on over there?"
[13:51] <Mani> (Sakura: "If a dog craps anywhere in the universe, you can bet I won't be out of the loop.")
[13:51] <Kuonji> "A guy like that couldn't have come cheap."
[13:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "A guy like what?"
[13:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "Umbrae.. what sort of abilities?"
[13:52] <Kuonji> "He out classed all of us, pretty badly."
[13:52] <Mani> "It's possible he just took over the town and its energy draining operation on his own."
[13:53] * Reis looks up. "Spellcasting primarily... He threw a number of insanely powerful attacks around, and we could barely even _touch_ him..."
[13:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "And just happened to set some sort of trap for a Senshi, rather than driving them off?"
[13:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "how'd that work?"
[13:53] <Kuonji> "Physical attacks passed right through him."
[13:54] <Mani> "When we got there, there was a ward against teleportation up and a lot of angels flying around."
[13:54] <Mani> "You'd have to ask Mercury about the details of the trap, though."
[13:55] * Mani frowns.
[13:55] <Mani> "He seemed to recognize Sheena."
[13:56] * Reis frowns. "Yes, he said... something odd, just before Mercury-san arrived... I think they might have been talking while we were out of the loop..."
[13:56] <Alathon> Usagi looks troubled, and tired.
[13:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "How did things go down? Short version, you don't have to be too exact.."
[13:57] <Alathon> usagi: "Time enough for a debriefing at the debriefing."
[13:57] <Mani> "I wasn't up to see that, but he seemed to recognize her by the start of the fight and checked his PDA. Kind of like he had info on her but hadn't met her personally."
[13:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[13:57] <Alathon> Usagi looks interested at that snippet.
[13:58] <Mani> "Short version? He started casting spells on himself while we were still in the 'talking' phase, so we decided to move on to the actual fighting part before he could do much."
[13:59] <Mani> "He was hard to hit and pretty much immune to my attacks and didn't seem to show much of an offense at first."
[14:00] <Reis> "He wasn't even bothering..."
[14:00] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head a little at hearing that.
[14:00] <Mani> "After a while, he seemed to get serious and cast some spells and move on to using two powerful energy swords that also drained life force."
[14:00] <Mani> "I can't say what happened beyond that point."
[14:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "Odd that he'd ramp up, rather than starting strong."
[14:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "But, whatever."
[14:01] <Mani> ("My theory is that he'd watched too much Dragonball Z.")
[14:02] <Reis> "Maybe he just wanted to save the effort... we were already being smacked down even before he went past the swords..."
[14:02] <DCG> (hey, sheena blasted the fukc outa the guy,dont forget her last attack)
[14:02] <Mani> (I can't. I never saw it.)
[14:03] <Mani> "He probably had a fair idea of our capabilities and knowing he could handle us wanted to play with us first. I can understand that."
[14:03] <Alathon> Usagi looks.. quizzical at that.
[14:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll take your word for it."
[14:04] <Alathon> Usagi: "How'd you all get out?"
[14:04] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "Yeah... it was only after Sheena hit him with the collection attack that he started getting serious."
[14:05] <Reis> "Mercury-san engaged him close in while we extracted the bodies, and once Venus arrived, I transferred everyone to the bar..."
[14:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm sorry to ask, but how was Sheena killed?"
[14:06] * Kuonji looks interested in hearing as well
[14:06] * Mani looks at Reis, curious herself.
[14:06] * Reis winces. "The man... _juggled_ her with a storm of... fireballs? Rocks? Something..."
[14:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "Like meteorites?"
[14:08] <Mani> ("Not anymore, I don't!")
[14:08] * Reis purses her lips. "... Yeah, I think so."
[14:08] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[14:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "I ask because one of our mages recently mastered something like that."
[14:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think you worked with her before."
[14:09] <Mani> "Talia?"
[14:09] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[14:09] * Mani decides it's probably Amiko, then.
[14:09] <Alathon> usagi: "No, talia's focusing on replicating the enchantments we've seen on common enemy items."
[14:09] <Reis> (Bets that it's Gerand?)
[14:09] <Mani> (Who's now female?)
[14:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "Er... Amiko, I believe."
[14:10] * Mani nods.
[14:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sorry if I'm vague, we have a lot of briefings on meta powers.. we're trying to keep tabs on all of them."
[14:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "and that doesn'tw ork so well for the mages, who have dozens each."
[14:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "Either way.. I take it that Sheena wasn't in a, um, recoverable state, or you'd have her with you."
[14:12] <Alathon> Usagi looks a little guilty at having to ask.
[14:12] <DCG> (lies, ries has some in her hair)
[14:12] * Reis shakes her head. "No... not unless..." She runs her free hand through her hair just to make sure she DOESN'T have Sheena with her.
[14:12] <DCG> (lulz)
[14:12] <Reis> (GM prerogative)
[14:13] <Alathon> (you had some behind your ear.)
[14:13] <Mani> (She's with us in bits and pieces.)
[14:13] <Alathon> (part of a nipple)
[14:13] <DCG> (EWW)
[14:13] <Mani> (Save that. Celeste will want it.)
[14:13] <Alathon> (... gods I hope not ;p )
[14:13] <DCG> (dude thats so wrong)
[14:13] <Kuonji> (jesus, what, were they the size of dinner plates?)
[14:13] <Alathon> (well, her breasts were teh size of basketballs)
[14:13] <Alathon> (they weren't That big, but they had substantial area)
[14:13] * Reis gasps and throws a red bit of... something from her head down to the floor.
[14:14] <Mani> (What were they zoned as?)
[14:14] <Alathon> Usagi looks down, then reaaaaaly quickly looks right back up.
[14:14] <Reis> "I... did." She looks VERY queasy.
[14:14] <Mani> (Recreational area, I suppose.)
[14:14] * Kuonji looks rather ill as well
[14:14] <Alathon> Usagi stands up, walks over, reaches down.. picks something up without looking at it, and stashes it.. somewhere.
[14:15] * Reis checks her hair and clothes a LOT more carefully.
[14:15] * Mani casually checks herself but finds only plaster.
[14:15] <Alathon> She then walks over to the kitchenette and gets some cleaning supplies, and heads over to handle it.
[14:16] * Kuonji thinks he'd notice if there was something on him, given his size currently
[14:17] <Alathon> (if there is, it's probably on your clothes back in the telepad)
[14:17] <Mani> (Probably just debris from being buried under the collapsed roof.)
[14:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anything else I should know?"
[14:18] <Kuonji> (now would be a bad time to pick his teeth)
[14:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "Um.. why didn't Mercury just fly up?"
[14:18] <Kuonji> (Pork? I don't remember having any... OH GOD)
[14:18] <Mani> "Up and away, you mean?"
[14:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah."
[14:19] <Mani> "We don't know. You'll have to ask her."
[14:19] <Reis> (Long pork, yum.)
[14:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "Right."
[14:20] <Mani> "Oh, Yuuno had another spell she used."
[14:21] <Mani> "It seemed to shift us, and the guards, slightly out of the dimension or somesuch--I'm not sure of the exact mechanism."
[14:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "Oh."
[14:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's useful."
[14:21] <Mani> "It was like we were out of phase with the area or somesuch. The umbrae himself wasn't brought with us, so we took out the guards."
[14:21] * Mani frowns.
[14:21] <DCG> (That spells well covered in sheena work area, she just never been able to do it herself)
[14:22] <DCG> (of corse its in abyssal)
[14:22] <Mani> "I didn't think to try to use it to get Mercury and Venus out until later."
[14:23] <Mani> "Otherwise, we could have likely avoided the fight entirely. Same with the interdimensional travel spell."
[14:23] * Reis sighs. "Yeah... and we didn't even know their positions, so we couldn't use it once we found out that it worked..."
[14:23] * Mani shakes her head.
[14:23] <Mani> "We were able to reach Mercury on the comm. We could have done it that way."
[14:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "Why didn't Venus ask mercury to come to you and stick together?"
[14:25] <Mani> "I don't know. We were unable to reach Venus on the comm, though."
[14:26] <DCG> (Merc didnt know we where around thill sheena's blast,?)
[14:26] <Alathon> Usagi's brow wrinkles at that.
[14:27] <Mani> "For that matter, Mercury didn't seem to know we, presumedly excluding Venus, were in the area until she answered our comm message."
[14:27] <Mani> "My guess is that Venus's comm was nonfunctional."
[14:28] <DCG> (looking like the princess is going to go batshit insane on some senshi later)
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi finishes up with the cleaning, tosses the stuff on the coffee table, and flops back into a chair.
[14:30] <Reis> (Yeah, the whole thing was fouled from start to finish...)
[14:31] <Alathon> Usagi, eyes still closed: "anyone want or need a drink?"
[14:31] <Kuonji> "Yes."
[14:31] <Mani> "No, thank you."
[14:31] <Reis> "... No, thank you though..."
[14:31] * Kuonji looks down at himself... "Damn it."
[14:32] * Mani looks over at Sakura.
[14:32] <DCG> (chibisakura: Just leave the bottle)
[14:32] <Mani> "Can you drink like that?"
[14:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll pour you a bottle cap."
[14:32] <Alathon> She heads over to the minibar and procedes to do just that
[14:32] <Alathon> filling the cap of a mini with alcohol, and bringing it over to Kuonji.
[14:33] <Mani> (She comes over with the cap for Sakura and finds him gone. Turning around, she seems him in the liquor bottle.)
[14:33] <Kuonji> "Thank you."
[14:33] <Kuonji> (can I even hold it?"
[14:33] <Kuonji> )
[14:33] <DCG> (one way to find out)
[14:34] <Mani> (The cap or your liquor? :) )
[14:34] <Alathon> (it's the cap of a mini, it's about half an inch wide, a quarder deep)
[14:34] <Alathon> (it's like a bowl of liquor for you)
[14:35] <Alathon> Usagi knocks something down quickly.
[14:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "You can all chill for a bit.. get cleaned up, whatever."
[14:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll have a propper debriefing later."
[14:36] * Reis nods. "Right... thank you..."
[14:36] * Kuonji gets started on his drink
[14:36] <Mani> (About how far are we from our homes?)
[14:37] <Alathon> you're in espionage.. so say, 10 or 20 minutes by train.
[14:37] <Mani> (I'm guessing that's more than a mile as the cat teleports.)
[14:39] <Alathon> (yes)(
[14:39] <Mani> "Yeah, showers would be nice. Too bad we don't have clean clothes here."
[14:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "There are bathrobes.. I'll have some fresh uniforms sent up."
[14:40] <Mani> "Thank you."
[14:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "Or you can head home, either works."
[14:40] <Kuonji> "I don't think I could handle home right now."
[14:41] * Reis nods slightly. "Yeah... I'd rather not for a little while..."
[14:41] <Alathon> Usagi sighs.
[14:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah, I can understand that.."
[14:42] <DCG> (mani: it was sheena's week to do laundry. )
[14:42] <Mani> "And Yuuno certainly shouldn't..."
[14:42] <Alathon> usagi: "I've gotta get my ass back in gear."
[14:42] <Alathon> She stands up.
[14:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll comm you with a time for the debriefing."
[14:43] <Mani> (Usagi: "And you've got that other mission with Mercury to go on.")
[14:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "Until then, you're free."
[14:43] <Alathon> She moves to go.
[14:43] * Reis nods. "Right..."
[14:43] <Alathon> (anyways, 20 minute break for food, bio, and what-have-you)
[14:44] <Alathon> (and PLEASE make it 20 minutes, not 40)
[14:44] <Reis> (All righty)
[14:44] <Reis> (Heh)
[14:44] <Alathon> We'll pick up a bit after the hour
[14:47] <DCG> (ordered a pizza,)
[14:47] <DCG> (not that i have to rush or anything)
[14:47] <DCG> (hey.. how many flame srikes can i stack in a row? )
[15:00] <Reis> (Yo, back)
[15:00] <Kuonji> (yo)
[15:06] <Alathon> aaaand
[15:06] <Alathon> alright
[15:06] <Alathon> we all ready to roll?
[15:06] <Kuonji> yo
[15:06] <Reis> (Yup)
[15:06] <Mani> (Yep.)
[15:06] <Mani> "I think you should get the first shower, Reis..."
[15:07] <Reis> "Thanks..."
[15:07] * Reis gets up and heads quietly into the bathroom.
[15:08] <Mani> (And the last bits of Sheena go swirling away down the drain.)
[15:08] <DCG> (>_<)
[15:09] <DCG> (sheena put a lot of work into her bits you know)
[15:09] <Mani> (A lot of something, at any rate.)
[15:09] <Alathon> Anyways
[15:09] <Alathon> you all have a few hours to yourselves
[15:10] * Mani shifts to cat form and takes a nap in her chair while Reis showers.
[15:10] * Kuonji continues to work at his bottle cap
[15:11] <Mani> (My, we look like a little freak show here. :) )
[15:11] <Alathon> I'll assume you all get cleaned up, and dressed
[15:11] <Alathon> at some point
[15:11] <Alathon> if you all wanna talk, or whatever, now's the time
[15:12] <Mani> (Does Yuuno join us any time soon?)
[15:12] * Reis will come out of the shower, and hand it off to whosoever wishes to use it, and then settle down in a chair with Dark Heart, speaking to it quietly.
[15:12] <Alathon> No
[15:12] * Mani rouses herself and takes a shower.
[15:12] <Mani> (Presumedly in human form)
[15:12] <Reis> (Hells yeah.)
[15:13] * Mani comes back in cat form and lies someplace comfortable.
[15:14] <Reis> roll 1d20+28
[15:14] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{35}
[15:14] * Mani doesn't start conversation but isn't giving off don't-talk-to-me vibes.
[15:16] <Mani> (Guess no one else does, either?)
[15:17] * Reis sighs and leans back in the chair.
[15:17] <Reis> (Nope)
[15:17] * Mani dozes until roused, then.
[15:19] * Reis will just sit back with her own thoughts then.
[15:19] <Mani> (Hm. Just think of the money Sakura can now save when getting drunk.)
[15:19] <Kuonji> (on food too)
[15:20] <Alathon> anyways
[15:20] <Alathon> it gets late into the afternoon, then early evening, before you're called upon for a debriefing.
[15:21] <Alathon> It'll go like most others, save for the substantially more sombre tone.
[15:21] <Alathon> Is there anything in particular any of you want to bring up, other than describing what all happened?
[15:21] <DCG> (merc get any readings or records some of the fight? If what i ask maters :P )
[15:22] <Mani> (Is Yuuno there?)
[15:23] * Kuonji sniffles quietly when they get to sheena biting it
[15:23] <Alathon> Yuuno is there, her eyes bloodshot from crying.
[15:24] <Mani> (Is explaining reasons for our actions something to bring up or is that assumed?)
[15:26] <Alathon> (it's assumed)
[15:27] <Mani> (Nothing, then.)
[15:28] <DCG> (we've got a real talkive group even on the best days...)
[15:28] <Alathon> Yuuno explains briefly about the dimensional barrier she put up.
[15:28] <Reis> (Heh, don't we?)
[15:28] <Alathon> And explains that she hadn't made an issue of that ability before because she wasn't sure she had the magical strength to actually succeed in putting it up, and to drag targets into it
[15:28] <Kuonji> (Sakura's currently a drunk pixie that's just lost a good friend, it's rather amazing he hasn't broken out into full blown sobbing yet)
[15:29] <Mani> (Well, we'd be chatty enough if we were telling what happened. Since we're skipping that, we don't have much else to say.)
[15:29] <Mani> (It's been a few hours, so Sakura could probably have reverted to human form.)
[15:29] <Alathon> (opinions/speculation can be thrown in)
[15:30] <Mani> (Pretty much said anything else worth saying earlier with Usagi, I think.)
[15:30] <Mani> (Are Venus & Mercury there, btw?)
[15:33] <Mani> (Ok, one opinion has come to me.)
[15:34] <Mani> "I think it might be a good idea for teams with dimensional travel capabilities to carry devices with small amounts of SLUs."
[15:35] * Reis rubs her eyes slightly through most of the meeting, and nods at that. "Yeah... if we weren't able to return back immediately, we'd have been in trouble without any currency..."
[15:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hm."
[15:35] <Alathon> usagi: "You have a point."
[15:35] <Mani> "Or it might be possible to arrange for an account at the Bar."
[15:37] <Reis> "... Also, we need to have a LOT more of the communicator headsets distributed... It was extremely difficult to get in contact with Venus and Mercury."
[15:38] <Mani> (Was the problem with contacting Venus explained?)
[15:38] <Alathon> Yes.
[15:38] <Mani> (Ah. What caused it?)
[15:39] <Alathon> Very simply, she wasn't anticipating being on an op, and didn't have an ear-comm with her.
[15:39] <Alathon> And her comm unit was stashed
[15:39] <Mani> (And why Mercury didn't just fly up?)
[15:39] <Alathon> She's suitably guilty, for what that's worth.
[15:39] <Reis> (Ahhh, Merc had one after all then? I figured the delay time for her to answer was because it took time for her to answer the comm)
[15:40] <Kuonji> (well fuck, there goes my touch pad then)
[15:40] <Alathon> The barrier had some sort of forcefield component.
[15:40] <Mani> (She was planning on going on a mission with us.)
[15:40] <Alathon> She tried breaking through it physically and with attacks, neither of which worked.
[15:40] <Kuonji> (fucking vista)
[15:40] <Alathon> Merc had the comm, Venus didn't
[15:40] <Kuonji> (I blame you Al)
[15:40] <Mani> (I meant Mercury. She was planning to go on a mission with us after finishing the one we had to jump into.)
[15:40] <Alathon> yeah, and she had a comm unit
[15:41] <Alathon> she just wasn't super fast answering because she was surrounded by hostiles, with explosions all around her, gunfire, etc
[15:41] <Reis> (Heh)
[15:41] <Mani> (Ah, she has the easily distracted defect. ;) )
[15:42] <Mani> "Does this incident alter our future plans for such operations?"
[15:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yes."
[15:42] <Alathon> usagi: "it's highly improbable this was anything other than a calculated attempt to pick off one of the Senshi."
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "best guess being, they profiled our targets, camped at one, and waited."
[15:43] <Kuonji> "Any idea how they knew where to set the trap?"
[15:43] <Kuonji> (err retcon, I guess)
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "Some sort of espionage is possible.."
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "But a lot less likely than a simple brute force effort."
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "there were just too few people who knew where Mercury would be."
[15:45] * Reis frowns, nodding. "_We_ didn't, and we were on a mission with her immediately afterward..."
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:45] <Alathon> usagi: "We've done our best to compartmentalize all such information."
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "But we can't hide which targets we've struck."
[15:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "That said.. it's obvious that we should Always have at least several spare comm sets with us."
[15:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "In the mean time, we will take steps to make ourselves less subject to ambush, by consolidating such strikes."
[15:49] <Mani> "Having more people capable of interdimensional travel may help, too. That being said, we should probably try to learn some other destinations."
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "True."
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "Unfortunately, taht's not a resource we have in abundance."
[15:50] <Mani> "I have a feeling you can only pop up in the parking lot of the Bar and then go home so many times before they take notice."
[15:51] <Kuonji> (Huh, wonder if we could use hairspace :P)
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi: '.... also a good point."
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "And that's not the sort of notice we want."
[15:53] * Mani nods.
[15:54] <Kuonji> (hmm, wonder if I should suggest that in charachter)
[15:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "..I should add, we'll be seeking assistance from our allies in these strikes."
[15:56] * Reis nods.
[15:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "Since they have what we really lack: Numbers."
[15:56] <Mani> "Good. And will we be assisting in some of their operations, also?"
[15:56] <Kuonji> "How does one go about mapping dimensional coordinates?"
[15:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "Most likely.. I don't know how it will pan out."
[15:56] <Mani> "I imagine you can buy charts of them at the Bar."
[15:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm assuming the AFS will want some reciprocal assistance in their operations.. air cover, I don't know."
[15:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "What the Protectorate will want, I don't know."
[15:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "Some sort of economic assistance, maybe?"
[15:56] <Alathon> She shrugs.
[15:57] <Kuonji> "Well, yes, but I mean, someone has to have done it in the first place, right?"
[15:57] <Mani> "Up until today, I would have offered Celeste as a resource... Now I'm not so certain."
[15:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know... Yuuno?"
[15:57] <Alathon> She looks over at Yuuno.
[15:58] <Alathon> Yuuno looks uncertain.
[15:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "The TSA was never too open with that sort of thing.. local authorities would handle it."
[15:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "We've started to take steps to get a point on Midchilda."
[15:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I suppose that sort of thing must be available on the market in the Bar."
[15:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "For how much, I don't know."
[15:59] * Reis nods. "Yeah... we've just got to go through their immigration department."
[15:59] * Mani nods.
[16:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "If there are devices which allow dimensional travel, we should try to get our hands on those."
[16:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "Though I'd think that sort of thing would be expensive.. but that's just a guess."
[16:01] <Mani> (A D-hopper.)
[16:02] <Mani> "Things to research on our next expedition."
[16:02] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[16:02] <Mani> (Maybe we can get coordinates for the Bazaar on Deva. :D )
[16:02] <Alathon> (if you go there, you KNOW you'd get dragged off into some sort of bizarre sidequest though ;p )
[16:03] <Kuonji> (?)
[16:03] <Alathon> (from the Myth books by Robert Asprin)
[16:03] <Alathon> (very much worth picking up)
[16:03] <Mani> (At least the earlier ones are.)
[16:03] <Kuonji> (myth?)
[16:03] <Reis> (Heh)
[16:03] <DCG> (I started thinking of the Amn market from bgII..)
[16:03] <Alathon> (all thet itles are puns on the word myth)
[16:04] <Mani> (Watch Mani and Sakura encounter a Pervish restaurant and have to save or flee in panic.)
[16:04] <Reis> (... Pervish?)
[16:04] <Mani> (From the dimension of Perv. Their cooking smells incredibly bad.)
[16:05] <Reis> (... The dimension of Perv? Do I want to know what they do over there?)
[16:05] <Alathon> (they don't appreciate being called perverts, either)
[16:05] <Alathon> (it's actually an entire dimension that's like New York)
[16:05] <Mani> (Read the books. The whole issue is addressed.)
[16:05] <Alathon> (everyone's an asshole, being nice or helpful is illegal, etc)
[16:06] <Reis> (Hah!)
[16:06] <Alathon> (and it's populated by scaled humanoids that are strong as hell)
[16:06] <Mani> (And loud and abrasive as hell. Well, the males, at any rate and some of the females.)
[16:06] <Reis> (Scaled humanoid New Yorklike Pervs.)
[16:06] <Reis> (Scaaaaary.)
[16:07] <Mani> (Anyway, good books, but Asprin's series seem to have a shelf life. After they get to a certain age, they start to go bad.)
[16:09] * Mani stretches and tries to smother a yawn.
[16:10] <DCG> (guezz people, its not like some one died or anythign)
[16:10] <DCG> (oh wait)
[16:10] <Mani> (No one important, at any rate.)
[16:10] <Alathon> Usagi sighs.
[16:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think we've covered everything we can today."
[16:10] <DCG> (=\)
[16:11] <Mani> (Just kidding. :) )
[16:12] <Mani> "What about Celeste?"
[16:12] <Alathon> Venus and Mercury don't have anything to add.
[16:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know.. I was thinking we'd tell her in person."
[16:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "But maybe it'd be better to comm her and let her know."
[16:14] <Reis> "No... something like this probably shouldn't be handled over the comm..."
[16:14] <Mani> "Well, we certainly can't show up unannounced. The question is whether we call and give her an ominous message saying we need to talk or let her know that Sheena's dead and then go over and talk to her."
[16:17] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose it should be the former."
[16:18] <Mani> "All right. Tonight or tomorrow?"
[16:19] <Alathon> Usagi massages her forehead for a moment.
[16:19] <Kuonji> "I say the sooner the better."
[16:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "Might as well do it tonight."
[16:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll comm her, and we'll head over in.. say, half an hour."
[16:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "Assuming she's there to answer."
[16:21] * Reis nods. "Right..."
[16:21] * Mani nods.
[16:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright."
[16:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Lets break.. eat some more if you're hungry, or haven't eaten. I'll be right back."
[16:24] <Alathon> She motions at the catering.
[16:25] * Reis nods.
[16:25] * Mani gets some food.
[16:26] * Reis takes a little bit.
[16:26] * Mani sighs.
[16:26] * Kuonji will switch back to human form now, assuming it's safe for him to do so
[16:27] <Mani> "Healing quickly is great, but it can really take it out of you if you do a lot of it."
[16:27] * Mani looks over at the senshi.
[16:28] <Mani> "At least mine seems to. Especially today."
[16:28] <Alathon> Neither of them has been terribly hungry, or talkative beyond what they needed to say.
[16:29] * Kuonji will pick at some food
[16:30] <Alathon> Mercury h as been a bit more animated than she previously was.
[16:31] <Alathon> (as in, on previous missions)
[16:31] <Alathon> It's clear that she's distressed by the whole fuckup.
[16:31] <Alathon> And the fact taht Sheena's life was more or less traded for hers.
[16:32] <Alathon> Anyways
[16:32] <Alathon> there'll be a brief interim period, with Usagi making her call.
[16:34] <DCG> (sheena did step up to the plate herself knowing the chances... Why the hell whent any of you around to see how cool that was!)
[16:35] <Mani> (Enh. Sheena's always had a sacrifice-herself-for-everyone-else complex. :) )
[16:35] * Reis frowns to herself and checks on Yuuno.
[16:36] * Kuonji walks over to Reis and Yuuno
[16:37] <Kuonji> "How're you two holding up?"
[16:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Poorly."
[16:38] <Reis> "... Yeah."
[16:38] * Kuonji nods, "It's going to be rough for a while. Honestly, I don't think it's even really sunk in for me yet."
[16:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I feel like I shoulda.. I don't know."
[16:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "She was always so aggressive, and I never really managed to curb that one bit."
[16:40] <Kuonji> "It's who she was, there was nothing you could do."
[16:40] * Reis sighs. "And if I were a hair faster I'd have been able to get her out... The entire mission was a mess from start to finish."
[16:41] <Kuonji> "There's no point in thinking about "what ifs"
[16:41] * Mani comes over.
[16:41] <Mani> "Sakura's right."
[16:41] <Kuonji> "They won't bring her back, and I doubt Sheena would want us feeling miserable over hypotheticals."
[16:42] * Reis rubs her eyes, nodding. "No point casting recriminations, but we CAN keep from ever going through a fiasco like that again."
[16:42] * Kuonji nods
[16:42] <Mani> "We can try."
[16:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I guess.."
[16:42] * Mani sighs.
[16:43] <Kuonji> "This was a wake up call."
[16:43] <Kuonji> "We can't just charge head first and hope things we'll work out."
[16:43] <Mani> "We've all known that what we do is dangerous and that there's a good reason we're doing it."
[16:43] <Reis> "First problem was that we went in without any kind of plan, yes..."
[16:44] <Kuonji> "We need to get stronger and start coordinating more effectivly."
[16:44] <Kuonji> "We need to have contigincies for our contingincies."
[16:45] * Reis nods.
[16:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You'd think in a thousand years.."
[16:46] <Alathon> Yuuno says this quietly, and a little bitterly..
[16:47] <Alathon> You're away from the two senshi a bit, and they don't seem to have heard.
[16:47] <Mani> (Is Yuuno saying more or has she just trailed off?)
[16:47] <Alathon> She's trailed off
[16:47] * Reis sighs.
[16:47] <Mani> "Live a million years and you still won't be perfect."
[16:47] <Kuonji> "I know it's difficult, but we need to think about what Sheena would want, and I think the last thing she'd want is for us to beat our selves up over what could have been done differently."
[16:48] <Kuonji> "She'd want us back out there kicking ass for her."
[16:48] <Mani> ("And for Reis to fill the new void in Celeste's life.")
[16:49] <Alathon> Around now, Usagi returns.
[16:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright, I've made the call. She's around."
[16:49] * Reis sobers up. "Right..."
[16:49] <Kuonji> "Reis, Yuuno, I'd like to talk to you guys privately later."
[16:50] <Mani> "Do you think she has an idea what this is about?"
[16:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think she could make an educated guess."
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "I didn't bring up Sheena.. I thought she'd probably ask some pointed questions if I did."
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just said we had something important to discuss, and could we come over."
[16:51] * Mani nods.
[16:52] * Reis nods.
[16:53] * Mani heads over to Usagi.
[16:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "Let's go, then."
[16:56] * Reis braces herself and nods, standing.
[16:57] <Alathon> She heads out, and will lead the party to the subway.
[16:57] <Alathon> The trip over to Celeste's pad will take a short while.
[16:57] * Reis will follow.
[16:57] <Alathon> It's well into evening now, around 8ish.
[17:00] <Alathon> When you reach it, it's.. normal.
[17:00] <Alathon> Nothing special, just an apartment.
[17:00] <Alathon> Usagi knocks.
[17:02] * Reis focuses on breathing calmly.
[17:02] <Alathon> Celeste answers.. she's wearing a white tube top and black jeans.
[17:03] <Mani> (If she'd answered dressed in pink, we'd be really worried.)
[17:03] <Kuonji> (heh)
[17:03] <Alathon> She backs away.
[17:03] <Alathon> Celeste: "Be welcome to my abode."
[17:04] <Alathon> Celeste: "Not, perhaps, as accomodating as my own home, but it should suffice for a discussion of some import."
[17:04] <Alathon> She'll hold the door open for everyone.
[17:04] <Kuonji> (well this is going to be awkward)
[17:05] * Mani lets Usagi lead but gives Celeste a nod.
[17:05] * Reis nods weakly, leaving the lead to the boss.
[17:06] <Alathon> The apartment doesn't appear to be bleached the way her home was.
[17:06] <Alathon> There's stuff that's colored, though.. not much of it.
[17:06] <Alathon> Her preferences remain as expected.
[17:06] <Mani> (Celeste: "And were is Sheena?" Usagi take a little lump of flesh out of pocket space.)
[17:08] <Alathon> Her living room isn't super large, but it's sufficient to accommodate the party and Usagi
[17:08] <Alathon> With a couple couches and a couple single chairs.
[17:08] <Alathon> All grey, of course ;p
[17:08] <Mani> (Did the senshi come?)
[17:08] <Alathon> (No)
[17:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "Thank you for the hospitality.."
[17:09] <Alathon> Celeste: "it is nothing."
[17:10] <Alathon> Celeste: "If I might ask, what topic of import brings you all to me this eve?"
[17:11] <Alathon> Usagi only hesitates a moment before continuing.
[17:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll be honest, we have some bad news."
[17:12] <Alathon> Celeste: "By my beloved's absence, I would suspect she has been captured?"
[17:13] <DCG> (ouch)
[17:13] * Reis winces.
[17:13] <Reis> ("Not... as such.")
[17:15] <DCG> (well some one answer, dont need al talking to himself :P )
[17:15] <Mani> (We're not going to speak for Usagi. She's leading this thing.)
[17:17] <Alathon> (sigh)
[17:17] <Alathon> (got distracted looking something up)
[17:18] <Alathon> (which wasn't even directly relevant)
[17:18] <Reis> (No problem)
[17:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "No.. I'm afraid it's worse than that."
[17:18] <Alathon> Celeste looks.. confused.
[17:18] <Alathon> Celeste: "How so? She has not been killed. I would certainly know."
[17:18] * Reis blinks.
[17:18] * Kuonji blinks as well
[17:19] <Kuonji> "Come again?"
[17:19] * Mani cocks her head.
[17:20] <Mani> "What if she were dead but returning as I did?"
[17:20] &l

Session 73 - part 2

Session 73 - part 2

[17:20] <Alathon> Celeste shakes her head.
[17:20] <Kuonji> (I'd like to be absolutly clear here, Sheena doesn't have any ranks of reincarnation, correct?)
[17:21] <Alathon> Celeste: "As I understand it, Mani, you were well and truly dead for some time."
[17:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "Um.."
[17:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "Celeste.."
[17:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "Are you certain?"
[17:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "As far as we were able to tell, Sheena was.. definately slain."
[17:21] <Alathon> Celeste, to Usagi: "How do you know this?"
[17:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
[17:22] <Alathon> (er, last line was from Celeste)
[17:22] <Reis> "... Yes."
[17:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "No.. I wasn't there, but Mani, Reis, and the rest were."
[17:22] <Alathon> Celeste suddenly looks a little anxious.
[17:22] <Alathon> She looks over at Reis.
[17:22] <Alathon> Celeste, a little abruptly: "What happened"
[17:22] <DCG> (she told your old boyfrend where to stick it and spin)
[17:23] <Reis> "We were fighting an umbrae... before we managed to escape, he... destroyed her body."
[17:24] <Alathon> Her brown creases a little at the mention of her species.
[17:24] <Alathon> Celeste: "Destroyed.."
[17:24] <Alathon> She doesn't sound like she entirely believes it.
[17:25] <Alathon> Celeste: "Reis, may I see this?"
[17:25] * Reis glances at Usagi. "... Is it classified, or...?"
[17:25] <Alathon> Usagi, a little reluctantly: "If you'll swear not to pry into anything else.."
[17:26] * DCG (~PyroRaven@c-71-228-41-86.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[17:26] <Alathon> Celeste promptly pulls a dagger made of some silvery metal from a pocket.
[17:26] <Alathon> Which looked empty.
[17:27] <Alathon> Celeste: "I shall view only those events specified."
[17:28] <Alathon> She draws the dagger carefully across the back of her left hand."
[17:28] <Alathon> Celeste: "So I swear."
[17:28] * Reis swallows, and nods, closing her eyes and composing herself.
[17:29] <Alathon> She allows several drops of blood to drip to the carpet, before wiping the dagger on her jeans, pocketing it, and then wraping a thick black cloth around her hand.
[17:29] <Mani> (Ha! The shoe is on the other foot now, isn't it, Reis--or should we say, Tsukasa!)
[17:29] <Kuonji> (hahaha)
[17:30] <Reis> (Heh)
[17:30] <Alathon> Celeste: "If you would, open yourself.."
[17:30] * Reis jerks slightly.
[17:31] <Alathon> Usagi wasn't quite sure what to make of the whole blood oath thing, but hasn't spoken up to say not to do it.
[17:32] * Reis winces.
[17:33] <Alathon> Celeste's expression is neutral at first..
[17:33] <Alathon> Then darkens, and she closes her eyes and her jaw grows tight.
[17:34] * DCG (~PyroRaven@c-71-228-41-86.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[17:34] <Alathon> (last line dcg?)
[17:34] <DCG> (i thought eveyr one jsut got quite..)
[17:37] <Alathon> Her hands tighten into fists.
[17:38] <Alathon> Celeste's eyes open, and she stares accusingly at Usagi for several moments.
[17:38] * Reis blinks and opens her own eyes.
[17:39] <Alathon> She opens her mouth, hesitates a moment, then speaks carefuly, and somewhat tonelessly.
[17:40] <Alathon> Celeste: "Have my thanks for the courtesy of conveying this news in person."
[17:41] <Alathon> Usagi starts to speak up, but Celeste cuts her off.
[17:41] <Alathon> Celeste: "With that said, please leave this place."
[17:42] <Alathon> Usagi hesitates, then decides to nod.
[17:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "I am sorry for your.. for our loss, Celeste."
[17:42] <Alathon> Celeste snaps back, "You are sorry for the loss of a valuable asset."
[17:42] <Alathon> Usagi looks stung.
[17:43] <Alathon> Celeste looks like she's about to really tear into Usagi, then just seems to pull back into herself.. then vanish.
[17:43] * Reis narrows her eyes, but reigns herself in.
[17:44] * Kuonji puts his hand on Usagi's shoulder
[17:44] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm sorry.."
[17:44] <Alathon> She doesn't seem to direct this at anyone in particular.
[17:44] <Kuonji> "It's not your fault. Don't let her get to you, she's angry and she wants someone to hold responsible."
[17:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well, who's that supposed to be, other than me?"
[17:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "Mom and Dad? They weren't the ones who assigned your team to do this work."
[17:45] <Mani> "Me, Sheena, the person who killed her."
[17:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Dammit!"
[17:46] <Kuonji> "How about the bastard that killed her, and the fucks that started this whole conflict in the first place?"
[17:46] <Reis> "Someone else looks a lot more worthy of being hated."
[17:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Goddammit!"
[17:46] <Mani> "We should leave now. Even if Celeste has gone, we were asked to leave."
[17:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "And we just missed our best opportunity to find out who it was!"
[17:46] <Alathon> Usagi stands up abruptly.
[17:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Right."
[17:46] <Alathon> She stalks over to the door, and jerks it open.
[17:46] * Reis stands, following quietly.
[17:47] * Kuonji follows as well
[17:49] <Mani> (Kind of an ominous place for a long pause...)
[17:49] <Alathon> (heh)
[17:49] <Reis> (Indeed)
[17:49] <Alathon> There's nothing waiting outside.
[17:49] <Alathon> Usagi heads out.
[17:49] <Reis> (Awww)
[17:49] * Mani follows.
[17:50] <Mani> (Alathon: "Ok, you all head out into nothing.")
[17:50] * Reis continues to follow.
[17:50] <Kuonji> ("Hey, who's that guy... and did I just see a window fly past?"
[17:50] <Kuonji> )
[17:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "The worst thing is, for a moment, I really thought she knew something."
[17:51] <Mani> "What do you mean?"
[17:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know.. that Sheena wasn't dead, somehow."
[17:52] <Mani> "Perhaps the umbrae was able to block her noticing it."
[17:52] <Reis> "Or maybe it was being under the wards..."
[17:52] * Mani nods.
[17:52] <Mani> "Same thing."
[17:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "Or maybe she was just being obsessive."
[17:52] <Alathon> She says that last bit a little snarkily.
[17:53] <Mani> "It's possible. But saying it like that is beneath you."
[17:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well, maybe --."
[17:53] <Alathon> Usagi cuts herself off.
[17:54] <Alathon> She sounded like she was about to say something less than polite.
[17:55] <Alathon> She just keeps walking back the way you all came, to the subway.
[17:55] * Mani walks in silence, too.
[17:58] * Reis doesn't have anything to say either.
[17:58] <Mani> (I hope you can forgive us for not being overly chatty this session, Alathon.)
[17:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. I do sort of know what you mean, though. For a moment, my heart was in my throat."
[17:58] * Mani nods.
[17:59] <Kuonji> "No kidding."
[17:59] <Reis> "Yeah... for a second, I thought she knew something we didn't..." She wipes her eyes.
[18:01] <Alathon> Usagi sighs.
[18:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's hard not to hope."
[18:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "Especially with the precedent."
[18:01] <Mani> "Yes."
[18:02] <Mani> "I'm still not giving up on the idea of her returning, even though I know it's unlikely."
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah.. so, what next."
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "... I'm guessing we should probably give her at least a day before inviting her to the wake."
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "I might delegate that one, Mani."
[18:04] <Mani> "I understand."
[18:05] <Alathon> It won't take long to reach the subway.
[18:07] <Alathon> the trip back will be silent, unless someone chooses to make it otherwise.
[18:07] * Mani takes a seat and leans against the divider/wall/whatever's appropriate.
[18:07] <Kuonji> "I'm... probably going to stay with my family tonight, I don't think I could take being back in our house tonight."
[18:07] <DCG> (kinda suprised no ones asked why celeste was sure sheena was alive, mabie *some* people wanted to know that.)
[18:08] <Mani> (I aksed about that.)
[18:08] <Mani> "I understand, Sakura. What about you, Yuuno?"
[18:08] <Reis> (Well, of COURSE we want to know, but it's not like she gave us an opportunity)
[18:09] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I don't know.."
[18:10] <Kuonji> "You could come with me Yuuno, I don't think my family would have a problem with that."
[18:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I.. that'd be good."
[18:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Thanks, Sakura."
[18:10] * Reis smiles faintly.
[18:11] <Mani> "Well, I'll be going home, if that helps. I think I'll find it comforting to sleep next to her room, with all her things and her scent around, really..."
[18:13] <Mani> (Everyone else: "You are *so* weird...")
[18:13] <Alathon> Yuuno doesn't comment on that ;p
[18:13] <Alathon> (cat thing I guess )
[18:14] <Alathon> Anyways.
[18:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Reis, you have someone to be with?"
[18:14] * Reis shakes her head. "No..."
[18:15] <Mani> (Enh? What about her family?)
[18:15] <Reis> "Not that really knows, at least..."
[18:16] <Mani> "You're welcome to stay with me... but I'll understand if that's the last place you want to be."
[18:17] <Reis> "... Yeah, sorry, but..."
[18:17] * Mani smiles faintly and looks around at everyone else.
[18:17] <Mani> "I guess it's one of those cat/human differences."
[18:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That's really not cool, that we're leaving you alone though."
[18:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Er, both of you, really."
[18:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Let's at least do something together before we all split up.. go somewehre for dinner. My treat."
[18:18] <Mani> "I'll be with my memories of Sheena."
[18:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Drink a few toasts, or whatever.."
[18:18] <DCG> (mani: I can hear her snorning now... hey wait. )
[18:18] <Kuonji> "Sounds good to me."
[18:19] * Kuonji gives a weak grin
[18:19] <Mani> "That sounds nice, but I'm sorry... I'm really tired."
[18:19] * Reis nods. "Yeah... that would be nice... Thank you, Yuuno-sensei."
[18:19] <Mani> "I'll drink a toast to Sheena at home, but all I can think about is curling up and going to sleep."
[18:20] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little disappointed, but nods.
[18:20] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That's cool."
[18:21] * Mani does look tired, as she's leaning against whatever's to the side of her seat.
[18:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well."
[18:23] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think I'll pass as well.. sorry."
[18:23] <Kuonji> (yuuno sighs in relief)
[18:24] <Alathon> At this point..
[18:25] <Alathon> I think it's fair to say that people go their ways.
[18:26] <Alathon> Yuuno treats Reis and Kuonji to a dinner.
[18:26] <Alathon> Usagi and Mani go to their respective homes.
[18:27] <Alathon> A night's sleep is had.
[18:28] <Kuonji> (don't suppose I could work that convo in with them that I mentioned earlier?)
[18:29] <Alathon> (hm? I don't remember)
[18:30] <Kuonji> (I said I wanted to talk to Yuuno and Reis earlier)
[18:30] <Kuonji> (we could always do it later)
[18:30] <Kuonji> (it's not that important)
[18:31] <Reis> roll 1d20+28
[18:31] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{35}
[18:31] <Reis> (... The same roll, AGAIN? DR.)
[18:31] <Reis> roll 1d20+28
[18:31] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{38}
[18:31] <Reis> (... Well, at least it wasn't a 7 again.)
[18:33] <Kuonji> (the hell are you rolling?)
[18:33] <Alathon> (sorry, doing a bit in PMs)
[18:33] <Alathon> and yeah.. mighta s well do that conversation now
[18:34] <Reis> <Alathon> hell, you were going out with reis and yuuno for dinner, so you coulda had that conversation then
[18:34] <Reis> <Reis> Wrong channel :P
[18:35] <Alathon> hell, you were going out with reis and yuuno for dinner, so you coulda had that conversation then
[18:35] <Alathon> doh
[18:36] <Kuonji> (yeah I figured during dinner would be good)
[18:38] <Alathon> ..
[18:38] <Alathon> so you can go ahead and have that conversation ;p
[18:38] <Kuonji> (I thoguht you guys were doing something in PM :P)
[18:39] <Alathon> we can do both
[18:39] <Alathon> not gonna have everyone else wait on it
[18:39] <Reis> (Indeed, I can multitask)
[18:39] <Kuonji> "I was wondering if you two would be interested in helping me improve the abilities of my unison form."
[18:40] * Reis blinks, and nods. "... Yeah, of course."
[18:41] <Kuonji> "That last fight... I couldn't touch the guy, and even if I had hit him there's no guarantee it would have done anything."
[18:41] <Kuonji> "Not to mention he took me out in one shot with that energy drain attack."
[18:42] * Reis sighs. "Yeah... we _all_ need to get better..."
[18:42] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23 talia
[18:42] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23 talia --> [ 1d20=9 ]{32}
[18:43] <Kuonji> "Yeah, and if the stories about youma are true, we'll be facing more energy draining opponents."
[18:44] <Kuonji> "In those situations, I'm a liability."
[18:46] <Kuonji> "Once we're strong enough, I want to hunt that bastard down and flay him alive, an inch at a time."
[18:46] * Kuonji 's tightens his hands into fists.
[18:47] * Reis shakes her head. "No need to take it slow. Simply kill him and be done."
[18:47] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[18:47] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I can understand that.. but I think Reis has the right of it. Better swift and sure."
[18:47] <Alathon> Yuuno: "and, of course I'll help you."
[18:48] * Kuonji grumbles "I still think he should suffer first, but you're right."
[18:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. you know, Sheena's probably say the same thing."
[18:49] <Alathon> Yuuno smiles weakly.
[18:50] * Reis closes her eyes. "She... probably would, at that."
[18:51] * Kuonji chuckles slightly... "I guess she did rub off on me quite a bit."
[18:51] * Reis covers her mouth and looks nauseous for a moment.
[18:52] <Kuonji> "... Very poor word choice on my part."
[18:53] <Mani> (Heh. :) )
[18:53] * Kuonji sighs
[18:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Just, ew."
[18:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... I guess I must have had enough alcohol to dull it all.. cuz that seemed almost funny."
[18:54] <Kuonji> "You know what I meant."
[18:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "and you know she woulda laughed."
[18:54] <Reis> (Well, it seems REALLY funny here :P )
[18:54] <Alathon> Yuuno, in fact, has definately had a few.. her ears are drooping.
[18:55] <Kuonji> "Yeah, she would have."
[18:55] * Reis nods, chuckling weakly. "Yeah... she'd have found it hilarious."
[18:55] <Mani> (A few? With her tolerance, that must be a few bottles.)
[18:56] <Alathon> (she's had a good bit of wine)
[18:56] <Alathon> (Pinot Noir, in point of fact ;p )
[18:58] <DCG> (Poke the ears!)
[18:59] <Kuonji> ("I... swear I just heard Sheena... She said something about poking yuuno's ears...")
[18:59] <Mani> (And the new expression around CT becomes "Sheena made me do it!")
[19:00] <Reis> (Heh. Better than 'Tsukasa made me do it'.)
[19:00] <Mani> (Sheena for the fun, mischievous things, Tsukasa for the horrible, evil things.)
[19:01] <Kuonji> (heh)
[19:01] <Reis> ( ;_; )
[19:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "In fact.."
[19:02] <Alathon> Yuuno raises a half-full glass of dark red liquid.
[19:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Heersh to Sheena, and her fucked up sense of humor!"
[19:02] <Alathon> Yuuno slams the glass.
[19:02] <Reis> (Does she pronounce it like that?)
[19:03] * Reis raises her own glass - "And everything she didn't get to blow up yet." - and drinks.
[19:03] <DCG> (hah! poor tsuka)
[19:03] <Mani> (Like by the explosion, die by the explosion.)
[19:03] <Kuonji> "To all her god damn pranks!"
[19:04] * Kuonji pounds his drink and slams it down
[19:04] <DCG> (sakura: What do you mean im the only one she swaped clothes on and made wear panties? Hey dont look at me like that)
[19:04] <Kuonji> (he would have freeballed)
[19:05] <Kuonji> "Heh... Remember when she painted my chopper pink? I was pretty pissed."
[19:08] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Eh.. you didn't hafta live with her your whole life!"
[19:08] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You remember yuuno-ball?"
[19:08] * Reis blinks.
[19:08] <Kuonji> "Umm.. refresh my memory."
[19:08] <Reis> "... Yuuno-ball?"
[19:09] <Mani> (I do! I do!)
[19:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Oh, she'd toss me around, an' what's his name.. that big cat-thing, would toss me back to her."
[19:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You know, when I was a ferresh."
[19:11] <Mani> ("He almost always managed to catch me by the second bounce.")
[19:11] * Kuonji snickers
[19:11] <DCG> (ill have you know yuuno earned +5 tumble doing that)
[19:11] * Reis blinks. "... Wha?"
[19:12] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Tsukasa's pet.. oh, hell, I can't remember now."
[19:12] <Mani> (Reis: "Big ... cat-thing? That's no way to talk about Mani.")
[19:12] <Alathon> Yuuno, slowly, like this is a big revelation: "Probably because I'm drunk."
[19:13] <Kuonji> "Hah, no shit."
[19:13] <Kuonji> (sanshi, right?)
[19:13] <Mani> (Yep.)
[19:13] <Kuonji> "Sanshi?"
[19:13] <Kuonji> "I think..."
[19:14] <Mani> (And Gerand almost got killed when Tsukasa was arrested and being taken to jail and he said within Sanshi's hearing that we all knew she wasn't coming back.)
[19:14] * Reis blinks. "I... see?"
[19:14] <Mani> (Killed by the other party members, that is.)
[19:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah, shanshi."
[19:15] <Kuonji> "We haven't seen him in a while now, I wonder how he's doing."
[19:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "He was goin' to the academy, right?"
[19:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Got his citizenship, going to follow in Tsukasa's footsteps.."
[19:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well, not that way."
[19:17] <Alathon> Yuuno gets a sad look on her face.
[19:17] <Mani> (Hopefully no one at nearby tables heard that. :) )
[19:17] * Reis looks a little lost at this point in the conversation.
[19:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Man.. Mani and I are the last ones left from that first team. Well, other than Amiko."
[19:20] <Kuonji> "Never met her."
[19:20] <Mani> (You did meet her at least twice, actually.)
[19:20] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Sheesh the one who was all cut up with Jupiter."
[19:21] <Kuonji> "Ah, I'd hardly call that a meeting."
[19:21] * Reis blinks. "Ah... you were chatting when you met her back at the coast..."
[19:22] <Kuonji> "Huh... Don't remember that."
[19:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hm.. I'm really drunk."
[19:23] <Alathon> She blinks owlishly.
[19:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If I was really honoring Sheena's memory, I'd be hitting on someone."
[19:23] * Reis blinks.
[19:23] <Alathon> She looks slowly back and forth between Reis and Sakura.
[19:23] <Reis> (Gotta love drunk logic.)
[19:24] <Kuonji> "I'm a guy, remember?"
[19:24] <Alathon> She doesn't seem to be able to decide which.
[19:24] <Alathon> She then focuses on Kuonji
[19:24] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Whats that have to do with it? You look more like an elf than Reis does."
[19:25] * Reis giggles.
[19:25] <DCG> (drunk logic? yuuno spot on)
[19:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "But you know.."
[19:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I should really be hitting on BOTH of you!"
[19:25] <Alathon> She says this like it's an amazing idea.
[19:26] * Reis blushes. "Uh...?"
[19:26] <Mani> ("Now behold the mistress of seduction at work! ZZzzzzzzz...")
[19:27] <Alathon> Her ears are like small arches now, they droop almost back to where they sprout from her head.
[19:29] <Kuonji> "I think you've had enough."
[19:29] <Reis> "... Yeah, probably."
[19:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "But I haven't even had either of you!"
[19:29] * Reis chokes.
[19:30] * Kuonji coughs
[19:30] <Alathon> She looks between you trying to figure out what your problems are.
[19:32] <Alathon> Yuuno then tries to stand up.. and finds that it takes some real effort.
[19:32] * Kuonji stands up to help her
[19:32] * Reis stands up and helps her keep her balance.
[19:32] <Kuonji> "You ok?"
[19:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I think I'm okay."
[19:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "As long as I've got someone to lean on."
[19:33] <Alathon> Yuuno leans on Reis.
[19:33] <Alathon> Yuuno looks up at Reis.
[19:33] * Reis nods. "I guess we should get you home... or, to Sakura-san's place?"
[19:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Mind if I crash at your place.. I think I'm kinda done."
[19:34] * Reis nods. "Sure, no problem Yuuno-sensei."
[19:34] <Kuonji> (if Sakura weren't such an upstanding guy, he'd definitly be clinging outside that window.)
[19:34] <Reis> (Heh)
[19:34] <Alathon> (heh, Animal House style?)
[19:34] <Mani> (Yuuno: "I'll teleport us there!" Reis & Sakura: "NO!!!")
[19:35] <Alathon> (after the pillow fight, Yuuno and Reis hear a 'thud')
[19:35] <Reis> (Heh)
[19:35] <Alathon> Anyways
[19:35] <Alathon> I'll assume you can manage finding your way home
[19:36] <Alathon> CT isn't really a bad city, even after dark ;p
[19:36] <Reis> (Fortunately, elves are light?)
[19:36] <Alathon> and the odds of someone in Espionage armor cloth being accosted are pretty slim
[19:36] <Alathon> And yeah
[19:36] <Alathon> It's not hard to keep Yuuno going.
[19:36] <Mani> (Since the insanity rate is pretty damn low...)
[19:36] <Mani> (Except among dynamic sorcerors.)
[19:37] <Alathon> heh
[19:37] <Alathon> the new scourge of CT in the next generation
[19:37] * Reis will take care and get Yuuno to her place, settle the elf in on her bed, and make herself comfortable on the couch.
[19:37] * Kuonji would still walk them back to Reis', ifthere were no objections
[19:37] <Alathon> asshole mages
[19:37] <Kuonji> (Mage IS an asshole, come to think of it)
[19:37] <Mani> (You're not putting a locked door between the two of you?)
[19:38] <Alathon> Yuuno won't object to you walking them home ;p
[19:38] <Alathon> But Yuuno isn't objecting to much ;p
[19:39] <Alathon> Anyways
[19:39] <Alathon> I know it's getting late
[19:39] <Alathon> but we have one more small point I'd like to hit this evening before we call it a night
[19:39] <Alathon> just need to finish a short bit in PMs
[19:39] <Mani> (I'm good to go until whenever.)
[19:46] <DCG> (not that it maters but im still around, heh)
[19:46] <Alathon> (good)
[19:49] <Mani> (You're around in spirit.)
[19:49] <Alathon> Alright.
[19:50] <DCG> (considering reis flushed the rest donw th drain, it would be all that sleft)
[19:51] <Mani> (Usagi has a little piece. How else will she clone armies of Sheenas?)
[19:51] <Alathon> Well, having part of your flesh bronzed would be rather grotesque
[19:51] <Alathon> When you all get up, there's comm messages waiting for you
[19:52] <Alathon> From Usagi
[19:52] <Alathon> apparently Reis has taken Dark Heart outside Crystal Tokyo, after it started some sort of magical reaction during the night
[19:52] <Alathon> which was later noticed by the cleaning staff.
[19:53] <Kuonji> (say what?"
[19:53] <Kuonji> )
[19:53] <Alathon> The concern being that it's self-destructing after Sheena's death
[19:53] <Kuonji> (...)
[19:53] <Kuonji> (well, there goes the IoP)
[19:53] <Mani> (It's looking for a new person to bear it!)
[19:53] <Reis> (Well, it hasn't exploded yet.)
[19:54] <Alathon> anyways.. figure it's 8 or 9 am
[19:54] <Alathon> maybe earlier if you want
[19:54] <Alathon> you're free to comm each other, do something else, or do nothing
[19:55] * Kuonji comms Reis
[19:55] <Kuonji> "What the hell is going on?"
[19:55] <DCG> (had to be one freaked cleaning staff)
[19:55] * Mani sends a message to Reis asking what's up, as well.
[19:55] <Reis> Comm: "Honestly, you probably know as much as I do... Dark Heart's pulsing with a fairly powerful magical reaction."
[19:56] <Reis> "I'm keeping an eye on it, but right now, it's just been speeding up the pulsing..."
[19:56] <Mani> (Reis make it a conference call?)
[19:56] <Reis> (Yeah)
[19:56] <Mani> "Why isn't Yuuno out there? She's got to know the most about it."
[19:57] <Reis> (OOCly, because I didn't know Yuuno would even BE there until after the actions were already taken.)
[19:57] <Mani> (Like you'd have been able to wake her up, anyway.)
[19:58] <Reis> "I couldn't wake her up... I left a message and asked Usagi-san to tell her once she was up."
[19:58] <Mani> "Oh, busy night, huh?"
[19:58] <Mani> "I suppose Dark Heart isn't answering any questions?"
[19:58] * Reis blushes. "Um... we can leave that for later. And no... it's not saying anything."
[19:59] * Mani raises an eyebrow at Reis's blush.
[19:59] <Kuonji> "Better you then me."
[19:59] <Reis> (Hey, what's wrong with a hawt elf chick?)
[20:00] <Mani> (You'd know better than we would, apparently.)
[20:00] <Mani> "Ok... So, what's your plan?"
[20:00] <Reis> (An Austrian lady doesn't kiss and tell.)
[20:00] * Mani yawns and stretches.
[20:01] <Kuonji> (when the hot elf chick is really a transexual ferret?)
[20:01] <Mani> (And totally bombed the night her best friend in the world was brutally killed?)
[20:01] <Reis> "Right now, I'm just watching it. The pulsings are accellerating very slowly, so SOMETHING is happening... When Yuuno is up, we'll see if she knows what's going on."
[20:01] <Reis> (Indeed)
[20:02] <Mani> "Want me to go to your place and see if I can get her up?"
[20:03] * Reis purses her lips. "If you can, yeah... This reaction's probably not going very fast, though, so don't worry if you can't."
[20:04] <Mani> "No problem. Anything else you want either of us to do? I don't see much point in coming out there, since I wouldn't be any help."
[20:05] <Reis> "Hm... not right now, I don't think. But if you don't mind and Yuuno doesn't know what's wrong, maybe we should watch it in shifts, the accelleration is going _very_ slowly."
[20:05] <Reis> "Even now it's barely over one pulse per six seconds."
[20:06] <Mani> "That's fine. How are you holding up?"
[20:06] * Reis rubs her neck slightly. "I'm all right, I've only been up for about three hours now."
[20:06] <Mani> "Yeah? And how much sleep did you get?"
[20:07] * Reis blushes. "We didn't do anything like that!"
[20:07] <Mani> "Like what?"
[20:08] * Reis reddens further. "... Being unable to win, I will simply say, I got a bit over six hours of sleep."
[20:08] <Reis> (Presuming we got home at 11?)
[20:08] <Mani> "Sheesh, Reis, I'm just asking how much sleep you got."
[20:08] <Reis> (Can edit that if necessary)
[20:09] <Alathon> (sure)
[20:09] <Mani> "Thank you. Being up three hours wouldn't mean much if you'd only had two hours of sleep."
[20:09] <Reis> "Sorry Mani..."
[20:09] <Alathon> (sure to both)
[20:10] <Mani> "Ok, I'll get ready and check on Yuuno now."
[20:10] * Reis nods. "Thanks..."
[20:10] <Mani> "I'll get back to you once I've done that."
[20:10] <Reis> "All right."
[20:10] * Mani disconnects.
[20:10] <Reis> (Conference call, anything from Kuonji?)
[20:10] * Mani gets ready and goes to Reis's place.
[20:11] <Reis> (Or is he too busy snickering?)
[20:11] <Kuonji> "So, you sure you guys didn't do anything "like that"?"
[20:11] * Kuonji snickers
[20:11] * Reis flushes. "Yes! It would've been a horrible time for it!"
[20:12] <Mani> (Btw, Mani's questions weren't at all said in a teasing tone.)
[20:12] <Reis> (Ah, well, just presume Reis overreacted then. :P )
[20:21] <Kuonji> (tonight is apparantly right wing circle jerk night over in fuku)
[20:22] <Reis> (To be frank, MANY nights are that.)
[20:24] * Mani comms Reis.
[20:25] * Reis answers.
[20:25] <Mani> "Hey, Reis. Yuuno's up."
[20:25] <Reis> "Ah, good... is she there?"
[20:26] <Mani> "Yeah."
[20:26] * Mani adjusts the comm so Yuuno's in the pickup too.
[20:27] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@203-59-36-194.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[20:27] <Rockman_Zero> ('sup homies!)
[20:27] * Reis smiles slightly. "Good morning Yuuno. Sorry to have ditched you there..."
[20:28] <Mani> ("In that ditch...")
[20:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "No problem.."
[20:28] <Alathon> Yuuno sounds a little nervous.
[20:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm good."
[20:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What's happening? Where are you?"
[20:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Is it somewhere I can teleport to?"
[20:29] <Reis> "Ah, yeah, I'm a few miles outside Crystal Tokyo. Just a second..."
[20:30] <Reis> "Can you make the teleport from what you'll see on the comm?"
[20:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Not I."
[20:31] * Reis frowns. "Okay... Would coordinates work?"
[20:32] <Alathon> Yuuno shakes her head.
[20:32] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I need to feel it."
[20:32] <Mani> "A car or hoverbike should."
[20:33] * Reis nods. "Yeah... I could teleport back to the outskirts to pick you up, but that'd require either leaving the staff alone or bringing it, which kind of defeats the purpose..."
[20:33] <Mani> "Or you could just teleport here and take her back in, what, 10 seconds?"
[20:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah, just pick me up, then I can do shuttling."
[20:33] * Reis nods. "All right, I'll be there in a few minutes."
[20:34] <Mani> "Ok. We'll expect you soon."
[20:34] * Reis puts RH down, memorizes the position, and does so.
[20:34] <Mani> "You want something to eat before you get whisked away, Yuuno?"
[20:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Nah, I'm good."
[20:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "But thanks."
[20:35] <Mani> "And want me to come along? I don't see what I'd be able to do, but if you think I'd be useful in some way, I'll come."
[20:36] <Alathon> Yuuno shrugs.
[20:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Wouldn't hurt."
[20:37] * Mani grins.
[20:37] <Mani> "Unless it destroys the surrounding area in a violent explosion."
[20:38] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Good point.."
[20:38] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little less confident.
[20:38] <Alathon> Anyways..
[20:38] * Reis arrives?
[20:38] <Alathon> I thinkw e can assume you manage the teleporting, and get everyone who wants to be there, there
[20:38] <Alathon> btw, is Sakura in the loop on this?
[20:38] <Mani> ("Sheena?! We thought you were dead!")
[20:38] <Reis> (I think so, if he wants to be)
[20:39] <Kuonji> (sure)
[20:40] * Reis will, btw, be fairly obviously in her barrier jacket when she arrives, and teleport out anyone who wishes to come.
[20:40] <Mani> ("I want to come!" "No! I'm teleporting you out!")
[20:41] <Alathon> So, everyone comes, or selectively, or what?
[20:41] <Mani> (Sure. I already offered to come and was taken up on it.)
[20:41] <Alathon> well, I was assuming everyone included sakura ;p
[20:41] <Kuonji> (everyone's there, we don't want to miss the fireworks)
[20:41] <Reis> (I'm coming, obviously.)
[20:41] <Alathon> who wouldr equire asome collection by Kuonji
[20:41] <Alathon> ahh
[20:41] <Alathon> *nod*
[20:41] <Alathon> then everyone is there
[20:41] <Alathon> and when you arrive.. you're out in the middle of nowhere
[20:42] <Alathon> and Dark Heart remains in staff mode
[20:42] <Alathon> It's glowing, though not too brightly, and every six seconds or so there's a slight pulse to the glow.
[20:42] * Mani looks at Dark Heart.
[20:42] <Mani> (Anything here besides us and Dark Heart, btw?)
[20:42] * Kuonji blinks "What the hell?"
[20:42] * Reis resumes watching Dark Heart.
[20:43] <Reis> (Nope. Picked an utterly abandoned area)
[20:43] <Kuonji> "umm guys..."
[20:43] * Reis blinks. "What...?"
[20:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What?"
[20:43] <Kuonji> "Dark Heart has a soul."
[20:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It doesn't seem baleful.."
[20:43] <Kuonji> "This is new."
[20:43] * Reis blinks. "... It does? It's picked up a linker core somewhere too..."
[20:43] <Mani> "So, want to get some sensors and such from the lab now that we're here to watch, Reis?"
[20:43] <Alathon> Yuuno, to Reis: "Me too."
[20:43] * Mani nudges Yuuno in the ribs and grins.
[20:43] * Reis nods. "Yeah... those would probably help..."
[20:45] * Reis aways for a few minutes to grab some gear.
[20:45] <Mani> (Any reaction from Yuuno?)
[20:46] <Alathon> Yuuno is concentrating, and hardly notices it.
[20:46] <Kuonji> (Yeah, I kind of expected something after the "Hey, the previously soulless object now has one.")
[20:46] * Rockman_Zero is now known as RZ_[GTA-SA]
[20:46] <Mani> "So, Dark Heart has picked up a soul, you say?"
[20:46] * Mani looks at Sakura.
[20:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That doesn't just happen."
[20:47] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I've never in my life heard of it happening."
[20:47] <Reis> (Alathon, tell me when I'm done grabbing the gear)
[20:47] <Alathon> (a lto of it will be too big to move, or dependant on stuff in the lab that can't be moved easily)
[20:47] <Kuonji> "Yeah, it's got a soul alright."
[20:47] <Reis> (Well, I'll grab whatever sensors I can, at least.)
[20:48] <Reis> (If there's nothing of any value I can get, then I would've never gone in the first place :P )
[20:48] <Alathon> (you can get some stuff, just not much)
[20:48] <Reis> (All righty. Tell me when my trip is done.)
[20:49] <Alathon> it's done now ;p
[20:49] * Reis returns, bearing gifts.
[20:51] <Alathon> hmm
[20:51] <Alathon> do another arcane roll, with +5 for the equipment
[20:51] <Reis> roll 1d20+28+5
[20:51] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+28+5 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{44}
[20:51] <Reis> (... Well, at least I've finally broken 10 this session...)
[20:51] <Mani> (Broken 10 whats? :) )
[20:53] * Reis frowns. "It's mostly a... soul cage, of some sort?"
[20:53] <Mani> "A soul cage?"
[20:54] * Mani shifts to cat form and sits down, rather than just standing around.
[20:54] <Reis> "It doesn't LOOK hostile..."
[20:54] * Reis purses her lips. "Or like it'll explode."
[20:55] * Mani makes a face as she remembers something unpleasant.
[20:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "This is.. substantially beyond the scope of what I've known Dark Heart to be capable of in the past."
[20:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "By a long shot."
[20:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It was always just.. well, combat oriented magics."
[20:55] * Reis frowns. "Maybe Nanoha-san modified it...?"
[20:56] <Kuonji> "On a scale of 1-10, how concerned should we be right now?"
[20:56] <Mani> "Maybe it never had reason to do this before."
[20:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "4."
[20:56] <Mani> "See if it'll talk to you, Yuuno?"
[20:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.."
[21:00] * Reis looks at her. "I didn't have any luck... do you think you will?"
[21:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Dark Heart, what's your status?"
[21:00] <Alathon> ....
[21:00] <Mani> (Dark Heart: "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me what my status is...")
[21:00] <Alathon> nothing happens.
[21:01] <Mani> "Try Abyssal?"
[21:01] <Alathon> Yuuno, in Abyssal: "Dark Heart, what is your status?"
[21:01] <Alathon> .... nothing
[21:01] <Reis> (I think we were assuming that... I was assuming I was talking in abyssal to it, anyway)
[21:01] * Reis frowns. "Guess not... worth a try at least."
[21:02] <Mani> "So, do you have any idea how long this process is going to take?"
[21:03] * Reis glances at the others. "Okay... it's probably not going to explode, at least. Take it back to the main lab and give it a more thorough look?"
[21:03] <Mani> "Did Usagi order you to take it out of the city?"
[21:03] * Reis shakes her head. "No, that was on my own initiative."
[21:04] <Mani> "Ok, then if you think it's safe, yes, move it to the lab."
[21:04] * Reis purses her lips and nods, pulling out her comm. "Should report in to her at least, though..."
[21:04] * Reis calls up Usagi and passes on the new developments.
[21:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."?
[21:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "If that's your judgement.. hm."
[21:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "Could you perhaps use the training center you were working on instead?"
[21:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's well outside the city proper."
[21:06] <Reis> (Can I move the scanners and such out to there?)
[21:06] <Reis> (Or, does it have its own equivalents?)
[21:07] <DCG> (was suposed to be the big lab remember?)
[21:07] <DCG> (so we didnt blow up the office)
[21:07] <Alathon> If you take a whole lot of time, you can move some of it.
[21:07] <Alathon> moving all of it would be days of work
[21:08] <Alathon> it does seem that you have time though.
[21:08] <Reis> "It'd take days to get all the scanners out there. We _probably_ have the time."
[21:08] <Reis> "Should we?"
[21:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "You won't be assigned another mission for several days at least, while we make arrangement."
[21:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "More likely a couple weeks, at the speed these things tend to move."
[21:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "So, go for it."
[21:10] * Reis nods. "All right, should we consider this our mission for now then?"
[21:10] * Reis nods.
[21:11] <Reis> "Okay then."
[21:11] <Mani> "Do you want Sakura and me to stay with this or do you have other things for us to do?"
[21:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "... you're welcome to stay if you want."
[21:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "Or if you think there's anything you can do, by all means."
[21:12] <Mani> "What about Sheena's wake? Or are we holding off on that until we figure out what's going on with Dark Heart?"
[21:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't think it would hurt to wait a day or two."
[21:13] <Mani> "I imagine I'm not the only one here wondering if that could be Sheena's soul in there."
[21:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "Indeed."
[21:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "One can hope."
[21:14] * Reis shivers slightly and nods. "I hope so..."
[21:14] <Mani> (Unless Dark Heart ends up consuming the soul inside it. ;) )
[21:14] <Reis> (Heh)
[21:14] <Alathon> Anyways
[21:14] <Alathon> I think here's a good place to end
[21:14] * Reis will close the connection and resume shuttle service, then?
[21:14] <Alathon> It's been a long afternoon.
[21:14] <Alathon> Yeah
[21:14] <Reis> (Heh)
[21:14] <Kuonji> (cool, I'm starving)
[21:15] <Alathon> Yeah I'm fucking hungry as hell too
[21:15] <DCG> ...
[21:15] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[21:15] <DCG> Why am i trobled that your ending on mani's line
[21:15] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[21:15] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[21:15] <Pale_Wolf> Because you have an innate intelligence.
[21:15] <Yarrow> What's it matter to you? Do you know something about that soul that we don't? ;)
[21:19] <Ataru> so sheena is only mostly dead?
[21:20] <DCG> since al couldnt do that solo the other day im in the same boat, heh
[21:25] <Yarrow> Watch DCG laugh hysterically when the soul that pops out of Dark Heart ends up being his new character.
[21:25] <Yarrow> Or Dark Heart expands into his new character--now, complete with soul!
[21:25] <RZ_[GTA-SA]> So, Sheena's soul is trapped inside of DH huh.
[21:25] <Pale_Wolf> SOMEONE'S is.
[21:26] <RZ_[GTA-SA]> Dark Heart (In abbysal) "I got SOUL!"
[21:26] <RZ_[GTA-SA]> Dark Heart (In abbysal) "Nigga."
[21:26] <RZ_[GTA-SA]> :P
[21:26] <Yarrow> So... that's what happens when you roll a critfail on humor.
[21:26] <Pale_Wolf> I didn't know you COULD critfail humour.
[21:26] <Pale_Wolf> 'till now.
[21:27] <RZ_[GTA-SA]> Apparently you can. :P
[21:27] <Pale_Wolf> That's what Rocko's for, teaching us new things every day.
[21:27] <RZ_[GTA-SA]> Yeah, yeah.
[21:27] <Alathon> hmm
[21:27] <Alathon> I definately could have moved that session along a little faster
[21:27] <Alathon> there were parts where I let it lag
[21:28] <Yarrow> Yeah. We weren't being chatty for obvious reasons.
[21:28] <Pale_Wolf> Indeed.
[21:28] * RZ_[GTA-SA] is now known as Rockman_Zero
[21:34] <Rockman_Zero> Hmm, what made you realize someone's soul was inside DH anyway?
[21:34] <Yarrow> Sakura Sight (TM)
[21:39] <Rockman_Zero> Right.
[21:41] <Yarrow> So, xp?
[21:42] <Alathon> 2950 exp
[21:43] <Yarrow> You're kidding?
[21:43] <Yarrow> That's 85xp from level.
[21:43] <Alathon> why?
[21:43] <Alathon> ...
[21:43] <Alathon> seriously?
[21:43] * Yarrow nods.
[21:43] <Alathon> ...
[21:44] <Alathon> 3050

Session 74

Session 74

[12:14] <Alathon> well
[12:15] <Alathon> we've got three, so let's get started
[12:15] * Yarrow nods and gives her trophy to Alathon.
[12:15] <Alathon> we left off with the party moving around, and observing, an oddly-behaving Dark Heart
[12:15] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:15] <Alathon> (yaaay!)
[12:15] <DCG> (here)
[12:16] * Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis
[12:16] <Reis> (Hopefully I won't disconnect during the actual SESSION...)
[12:16] <Mani> (If you're worried about it, you can always bring a backup onto a different server.)
[12:17] <Alathon> first observed by cleaning staff, then later by Reis, it's glowing, pulsating..
[12:18] <Alathon> and more interestingly, seems to have both a linker core and an actual spirit encapsulated within it
[12:18] <Mani> (The guardian of the staff has died. Now nothing can stop the demon lord imprisoned within from emerging.)
[12:18] <Alathon> It was originally moved well outside Crystal Tokyo, to avoid widespread destruction in the case of some sort of self-destruct mechanism
[12:18] <Alathon> (hmmm.. not that far off, really)
[12:19] <Mani> (My statement or the distance from CT? ;) )
[12:19] <Alathon> (your statement)
[12:19] <Mani> (Joy.)
[12:19] <Reis> (Oh dear. Well, it WAS Raging Heart... 'nuff said.)
[12:20] <Reis> (We always knew the True Devil was the staff, and not the White Devil...)
[12:20] <Alathon> Now, it's been moved out to the training base Reis and Sheena worked on
[12:20] <Alathon> Reis has moved a substantial portion of her lab's equipment out there, to examine it, and try to determine exactly wtf is going on
[12:20] <Mani> (So, it's been a few days since we left off?)
[12:20] <Alathon> (yes)
[12:21] <Alathon> Kuonji and Mani will have had free time, or can have spent it watching the staff, with reis, etcf
[12:21] <Alathon> (mmm.. bacon, eggs, and a glass of port wine.. breakfast of champions!)
[12:22] <Mani> (Idunno... I think a good beer might go better with that.)
[12:23] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-56-163.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[12:23] * Mani split her time among watching the staff (a little), doing some research, and practicing techniques.
[12:23] <Alathon> (it would, but all I've got is a glass of wine I poured last night before going to sleep, and didn't drink ;p )
[12:23] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-56-163.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[12:24] <Alathon> The rate of pulsation slooooooowly increases
[12:24] <Alathon> it seems to be going up just a bit over a pulse a day
[12:24] * Reis was probably spending all of her time getting the requisite stuff out.
[12:24] <Alathon> after a couple days of no real change other than that, you'll all be called in for a meeting with Usagi
[12:24] <Alathon> or rather
[12:24] <Alathon> she's called out
[12:25] <Mani> (We call her out?)
[12:25] <Alathon> she suggests meeting at the training grounds, so as not to leave a powerful and unstable (?) artifact untended
[12:25] * Mani thinks that's a fine idea.
[12:26] * Reis will attend said meeting unless the staff starts doing something weird...er.
[12:26] <Mani> (Um, won't you still be there, then?)
[12:26] <Reis> (Well, I don't know whether it's in the same room or not)
[12:27] <Alathon> Anyways
[12:27] <Alathon> I think it's a fair bet everyone will be there
[12:27] * Ataru (~Pervert@c-76-119-239-12.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[12:27] <Alathon> When she arives, by hovercar, she can't help but stare a bit at the pulsating jewel in the staff.
[12:27] <Mani> (Sakura rushes in at the last moment, out of breath.)
[12:28] <Ataru> (sorry guys, my fucking net crapped out on me)
[12:28] <Reis> (No problem, morning Ataru)
[12:28] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[12:29] <Alathon> (anyways, gist of what's going on is.. it's been a couple days, now a meeting with Usagi out at the training center where Dark Heart is under observation by Reis)
[12:29] <Mani> (It's ok. Your tardiness allowed me to finish the circuit I wasn't able to complete before the official start time. ;) )
[12:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "..."
[12:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "Do you mind if I cast a couple diagnostic spells on it?"
[12:31] * Reis purses her lips. "No, any help would be appreciated, I don't think you'd destabilize anything." (If the scans suggest otherwise, Alathon, tell me now.)
[12:32] <Alathon> (no, it's been quite stable)
[12:32] <Alathon> She makes a series of gestures.. pauses.. makes another series of gestures.. pauses.
[12:32] <Reis> (Roger)
[12:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Mmm."
[12:32] * Reis observes.
[12:33] <Mani> (Is the staff outside or indoors, btw?)
[12:33] <Alathon> indoors
[12:33] <Reis> roll 1d20+28
[12:33] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{42}
[12:34] <Alathon> She shakes her head a little.
[12:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Nothing you haven't already told me.."
[12:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Powerful magical affect, containing a magical core, and someone's lifeforce."
[12:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Or, I should say, spirit."
[12:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.. let's find some chairs."
[12:35] <Alathon> She looks around.. and can presumably find some desk chairs to pull up into a circle, or whatever.
[12:35] <Alathon> She'll move to do so.
[12:35] * Mani pulls up a chair.
[12:35] * Reis nods and scrounges a few up, passing one towards Usagi.
[12:36] <Mani> (Usagi is looking the other way and Reis clocks the princess with a chair.)
[12:36] * Reis brings a chair for herself.
[12:36] <Reis> (Thankfully, I do not throw it.)
[12:36] <Alathon> Usagi will wait until everyone has gathered 'round, then begin.
[12:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "alright.. a couple things."
[12:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "First, I'll confirm what was said before: we're scaling back the number of attacks we're making on UST assets, in favor of larger forces per attack."
[12:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "There's a certain amount of overkill involved.. but I think we all understand the need."
[12:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Second, the Harleyriders have agreed in principle to support us, at the platoon level."
[12:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Which should, frankly, be more than enough."
[12:38] * Reis nods. "That's good to hear."
[12:38] <Mani> "In principle?"
[12:38] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani.
[12:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Their current offensive has them fully committed. Or at least, as committed as they're willing to be."
[12:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "They want two weeks to achieve objectives on a couple fronts and draw down their front-line forces there, before pulling them back to staging areas for our attacks."
[12:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "We broached the idea of pulling them out from the front; they're skeptical."
[12:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "From an organizational point of view."
[12:40] * Reis nods.
[12:40] <Mani> "I see. Does that mean we won't be teleporting to targets when we're expecting Harleyrider support?"
[12:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "... which may be perfectly reasonable, they have instantaneous communication via telephone, but they need to lay lines to have that, so a lot of the communication at the frong goes by courier."
[12:41] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[12:41] <Alathon> usagi: "No, we'll be teleporting.. or rather, gating."
[12:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "Pluto will take charge of that."
[12:41] <Mani> "Ah. Good."
[12:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "She's a few cuts above the rest of us when it comes to that sort of thing."
[12:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways."
[12:42] * Reis nods. "Understood... quick evacuation won't be as feasible as it was with the old system, though?"
[12:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yes, that's the downside."
[12:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll have multiple Senshi deployed for large-scale attacks, and hopefully you and Yuuno both as well."
[12:43] <Alathon> Yuuno, whom I neglected to mention previously, is in fact here.
[12:43] * Reis nods.
[12:43] <Mani> (*pop* Yuuno: "What the hell?!")
[12:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "We'll be able to pull small numbers out selectively.. but largely, we'll need to defend a 'beachhead'."
[12:43] <DCG> (yuuno: Any one else hear dark heart laughting at them?)
[12:43] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[12:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "it's a strategy that's worked for the TSA in large-scale operations, where direct teleports just weren't feasible."
[12:44] <Mani> (I'm sure Yuuno is used to it after all these centuries.)
[12:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll have measures in place to provide assistance should the UST commit it's remaining mercenary forces against one of these attacks.. otherwise, they should be more than able to handle anything short of a pitched battle against Evangelical-supported UST army elements."
[12:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Now.. "
[12:46] <Alathon> Usagi looks at Mani again.
[12:46] <Alathon> usagi: "Your team will be a part of these attacks, but until we begin them, I'm inclined to grant your team a couple weeks leave."
[12:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "partially to deal with this --"
[12:47] <Alathon> She motions at the staff on the other side of teh room.
[12:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "And partially just as time to decompress."
[12:47] * Reis nods. "Right... thank you Usagi-san..."
[12:48] * Mani nods.
[12:48] <Alathon> Usagi then looks over at Reis.
[12:48] <Alathon> usagi: "If you could continue monitoring Dark Heart..."
[12:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "?"
[12:48] <Kuonji> (?)?
[12:48] * Reis nods. "Yes Usagi-san, I'll keep an eye on it."
[12:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "excellent, thank you."
[12:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Now.."
[12:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know if she's brought it up with the rest of you, but Mani has expressed interest in obtaining information about the 'Youma' that the Senshi battled before the Fall."
[12:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "And rightly so, since there are an awful lot of signs pointing in that direction."
[12:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "At the very least, that whatever entity is backing or using the UST, is cut from the same cloth."
[12:51] * Reis frowns, nodding.
[12:52] * Mani nods.
[12:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "We really don't have much of anything in the way of records from that time period."
[12:53] <Mani> "I've been making some notes and marking possible links among various players in North America, but knowing more about the youma, how and why they may act, will help a lot."
[12:54] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[12:54] <Alathon> Usagi, to Mani: "Would you be interested in setting up an informational meeting with Venus?"
[12:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think she's most likely to have some time available, and she could at least recount her own personal experience against them."
[12:55] <Mani> "Very."
[12:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll arrange something.. probably out here."
[12:55] <Alathon> She motions at the surrounding building.
[12:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "Now.."
[12:56] <Alathon> Usagi looks a little hesitant.
[12:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'd like to broach something that's a little sensitive."
[12:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "In light of.. past events.. "
[12:56] * Reis purses her lips, and nods slightly.
[12:56] <Alathon> She glances at Mani.
[12:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "and current events.."
[12:57] <Alathon> She glances over at the glowing staff."
[12:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "I've been thinking about pushing back the funeral and wake I'd scheduled for Sheena."
[12:57] * Mani nods.
[12:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "now.."
[12:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm totally okay with being vetoed on this."
[12:57] <Mani> "I was planning to ask you about that."
[12:58] * Reis nods quietly.
[12:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "I.. just don't want to drag everyone through what you went through with Mani, if there's a chance it isn't necessary."
[12:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't want to provide false hope.. but obviously, SOMETHING is going on over there."
[12:58] <Alathon> She motions at the staff.
[12:59] <Reis> "Yeah..."
[13:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "anyways."
[13:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "Any objections?"
[13:01] <Mani> "None from me. Are you going to tell anything to her friends?"
[13:01] <DCG> (she is now..)
[13:01] <Mani> (Just us? That's so sad.)
[13:01] <Alathon> Usagi bites her lip.
[13:02] * Reis (~miraclewo@cpe001346f5370f-cm0012c9ab5798.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
[13:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll explain that there are some questionable circumstances surrounding her death, that we're investigating."
[13:03] * Reis (~miraclewo@CPE001346f5370f-CM0012c9ab5798.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:03] <Mani> "Mm. Ok, but if that's all you say, it sounds like you think she was murdered. Well, other than in the obvious way..."
[13:04] <Reis> (Grah. Sorry, my IRC went crappy for five minutes)
[13:04] <Reis> <Alathon> Usagi: "I.. just don't want to drag everyone through what you went through with Mani, if there's a chance it isn't necessary."
[13:04] <Reis> <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't want to provide false hope.. but obviously, SOMETHING is going on over there."
[13:04] <Reis> <Alathon> She motions at the staff.
[13:04] <Reis> <Reis> "Yeah..."
[13:04] <Reis> <Alathon> Usagi: "anyways."
[13:04] <Reis> <Alathon> Usagi: "Any objections?"
[13:04] <Reis> <Mani> "None from me. Are you going to tell anything to her friends?"
[13:04] * Mani frowns at the last part of that.
[13:04] <Reis> <DCG> (she is now..)
[13:04] <Reis> <Mani> (Just us? That's so sad.)
[13:04] <Reis> <Alathon> Usagi bites her lip.
[13:04] <Reis> * Disconnected
[13:04] <Reis> (That's my last line, what did I miss?)
[13:04] <Alathon> (pm'd)
[13:04] <Alathon> Usagi: "anyways."
[13:05] <Reis> (Thank ya)
[13:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "Other than Reis, you all largely have the next couple weeks to relax, train.. or whatever, as you see fit."
[13:05] * Kuonji nods
[13:05] <Reis> "Right."
[13:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[13:08] <Alathon> usagi: "Anything anyone wants to bring up while I'm out here?"
[13:08] <Mani> "Yes. Speaking of 'past events', is there still any reason I can't talk about my experiences with the others?"
[13:08] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[13:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "Within this team, absolutely not."
[13:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "Outside of the team.. we're working on a 'controlled release', so I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't."
[13:09] * Mani nods.
[13:11] <Mani> "Are we going to have other people stationed here to watch the staff? Reis does need to sleep and get some time off, too."
[13:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "I can detach Talia.."
[13:11] <Kuonji> ("What about Shee... oh...right...)
[13:12] <Mani> "Ok. Do we want to take precautions in case something hostile emerges from it or it attracts someone who wants it?"
[13:13] <Alathon> She closes her eyes, thinking this over.
[13:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't really want to have the lot of you stuck out here on guard duty.."
[13:13] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Reis.
[13:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "Do you have any idea when whatever's going on there is going to come to a head?"
[13:15] <Reis> roll 1d20+28
[13:15] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{35}
[13:15] * Reis frowns, shaking her head. "No... I'm afraid not. I could make _guesses_, but..."
[13:16] <Mani> "Perhaps some marine units?"
[13:17] <Alathon> Usagi tugs at her hair, looking a little doubtful.
[13:17] <Alathon> Usagi: "They'd help... yeah."
[13:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "We're shoving almost everything else into larger scale assault forces, so we don't exactly have loads of metas we could deploy."
[13:18] <Kuonji> (tugs at her hair? is she going to straigten her skirt next? did we wander into WoT?)
[13:18] <DCG> (wot?)
[13:18] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:18] <Alathon> (hah)
[13:18] <DCG> (hey, she has a lot of hair to tug at you know)
[13:18] <Alathon> (she'd need a braid)
[13:19] <Mani> (She'll just tug Mani's hair. "Hey!")
[13:22] <Mani> "I think that's all I have. Anyone else?"
[13:23] * Reis shakes her head. "No... I don't think I have any other questions."
[13:23] * Kuonji shakes his head
[13:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "In that case, I should probably head back."
[13:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll have a couple squads sent out here."
[13:25] <Alathon> And, she will.
[13:25] <Alathon> Only a couple hours after she departs, several squads of CT Marines will show up, with orders to guard against any sort of hostile behaviour from whatever's inside that staff.
[13:25] <Alathon> which brings us to a couple weeks of downtime.
[13:25] <Alathon> What does everyone do?
[13:25] <Alathon> in general
[13:26] <Mani> (Do they also have orders to defer to our judgement on such matters?)
[13:26] <Alathon> not explicitly
[13:26] <Reis> (Monitors and attempts to gather further information on the Device as the primary thing. If I have any time OTHER than that, tell me.)
[13:26] <Mani> (And before time marches on...) "I assume everyone else would like to be here for the meeting with Venus?"
[13:26] * Kuonji will hang around with Reis for a bit to talk with her following the meeting
[13:27] <Alathon> Talia will be spelling you half the time, so you'll have at elast a few hours a day of your own
[13:27] <Alathon> reis, that is
[13:27] <Alathon> and you don't have to stare at it for 12 hours ;p
[13:27] <Mani> ("What's she casting on me?!")
[13:27] <Alathon> if you wanna spend the time empowering Velka style cartridges, that'd certainly work
[13:27] <Alathon> or making modifications to Swordbreaker, etc
[13:27] <Reis> (Righto. And working on finishing the Device conversion in general, for that matter)
[13:28] <Alathon> *nod*
[13:30] * Mani trains, studies, keeps whoever's watching a bit of company sometimes (unless they don't want it), and socializes a bit with NPCs, seeing if she can get Reis to come along with her for some of it.
[13:32] * Reis will on occassion, though mainly when there's free time.
[13:32] <Kuonji> (wait, are we timeskipping right now? I had something I wanted to ask reis)
[13:33] <Reis> (Do it in PM?)
[13:35] <Kuonji> (/me pokes Wolfie)
[13:38] <DCG> (peer attack)
[13:38] <Kuonji> (nah, PMs)
[13:43] <Mani> (Guess I'm done if everyone else is.)
[13:43] <Kuonji> (sakura n' reis are working on something in PM)
[13:45] <Alathon> (how long-ish?)
[13:46] <Kuonji> (dunno, Reis stopped responding -_-)
[13:46] <Reis> (Um... I responded.)
[13:46] <Reis> (I'm waiting on YOU.)
[13:46] <Kuonji> (O_o for some reson my irc didn't notify me you responded_
[13:46] <Kuonji> )
[13:47] <Reis> (Maybe you changed windows at the exact time I responded)
[13:48] * Alathon sings, "Never trust in the motives of man, they failed to evolve in mother nature's plan.."
[13:48] <Kuonji> (for some reason you'd been taken off notify, I responded now)
[13:48] <Reis> (And I responded :P )
[13:48] * Alathon sings, "And though they seem safe in this early clouded state, the nature of their heresy has proven quite innate!"
[13:49] <Mani> (Please try to hurry it up before Alathon sings more.)
[13:49] <Reis> (Definitely)
[13:49] * Alathon sings, "Pain! Their kind will know Pain! For their crimes, all mankind will never be the same!"
[13:49] * Alathon sings, "Death! They will know death! Suffering for centuries, along with every breath!"
[13:50] <Alathon> it definately sounds better when it's Iced Earth singing it
[13:50] <Alathon> alright
[13:50] <Alathon> 10 minute break
[13:51] <Alathon> we restart at 2pm PST / 5pm EST
[13:51] <Alathon> please try to have the PM stuff resolve dby then
[13:51] <DCG> (hm)
[13:51] <DCG> Is sakura getting lucky?)
[13:51] <Kuonji> (we're done :P)
[13:51] <Reis> (Well... I think we just resolved it)
[13:51] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:51] <Reis> (Sorry 'bout the timing?)
[13:52] <Reis> (Sakura has a fucking insane idea)
[13:52] <Kuonji> (heheheheehe)
[13:52] <Reis> (Resume immediately, or are we taking the break after all?)
[13:53] <Kuonji> (did you REALLY not see that coming? I thought you said you had some ideas as well :P)
[13:53] <Reis> (Well I hope you told Alathon what you had in mind...)
[13:53] <Kuonji> (nope)
[13:54] <Kuonji> (I'd been hoping Reis would just go along with it, then I'd tell him)
[13:56] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:57] <Kuonji> (but noooo, guess she never heard "it's better to beg forgivness then ask permission")
[13:58] <Kuonji> (reis isn't much of a mad scientist)
[13:58] <Reis> (It's better to have many angles of feedback BEFORE trying something that might make a team member explode)
[14:00] <Kuonji> )pussy)
[14:02] <Reis> (Well, you could have Sheena if you prefer... Just make sure not to eat the antimatter she has in the fridge...)
[14:02] <Mani> (Ok, then.)
[14:05] <Alathon> well, that was irritating
[14:05] <Alathon> there was actually a LINE at the sevvy
[14:05] <DCG> (sevvy?)
[14:05] <Mani> (elevenee)
[14:06] <Alathon> anyways
[14:06] <Alathon> anything else that needs to happen over the next couple weeks?
[14:06] <Alathon> the meeting with venus is scheduled near the end of that
[14:06] <Kuonji> (yeah, we need to get the others input on something cuz reis is a chicken shit)
[14:06] <Alathon> if you wanna get everyone together before the meeting, ask
[14:07] <Alathon> comm them, or whatever
[14:07] * Reis calls everyone together, then.
[14:08] <Alathon> timeframe?
[14:09] <Mani> (location?)
[14:10] <Reis> Fairly early-ish during it, and, at the testing center since we don't want to leave DH alone. Yuuno too.
[14:10] <Alathon> Yuuno will make it there.
[14:10] <Mani> (Ok. Go ahead.)
[14:10] <Alathon> actually
[14:10] <Alathon> Yuuno would already be there, more likely than not
[14:10] <Alathon> She'd want to help Reis with the whole study thing
[14:11] <Alathon> so it'd be Yuuno and talia spelling Reis in turns
[14:11] <Alathon> presumably this would happen when Talia's on duty
[14:11] <Alathon> so Reis and Yuuno can be wherever
[14:11] <Alathon> i.e. if you want privacy you can get it
[14:11] <Kuonji> (Reis and Sakura are going to be at the testing center)
[14:11] <Reis> (Nah, not necessary to be incredibly private)
[14:12] * Reis purses her lips, pacing rapidly. "Sakura-san thought of a... test we can do on Dark Heart. It's... got a LOT of potential to be dangerous, but..." Reis sighs and looks at Sakura. "Your idea, go ahead."
[14:13] <Mani> "You want to try merging with it or something?"
[14:13] <Reis> "... Basically."
[14:14] * Reis shakes her head. "I can't really tell what would happen, it could go horribly wrong or amazingly right..."
[14:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "........"
[14:14] <Mani> "With the ideal result being that he can communicate with the soul inside?"
[14:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Okay, speaking entirely theoretically.. there's a core, and a spirit."
[14:15] * Reis nods. "Ideally. I wanted to pass this by everyone so that if someone else has any ideas on what could be done, we can confer."
[14:16] <Mani> "And any or all of them being destroyed, or Sakura being trapped inside forever, being less than ideal..."
[14:17] * Reis nods. "Plus there's a completely unknown reaction going on right now..."
[14:17] * Mani frowns.
[14:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Theoretically, this could succeed."
[14:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Theoretically, it could also fail in about a million different horrible ways."
[14:17] <Mani> "I don't know, Reis. Dark Heart seems to be completely focused on a complex operation. Throwing an unknown into it seems like a bad idea."
[14:17] <Mani> "I mean, whatever it's doing is occupying it to such a degree that it isn't even speaking."
[14:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If there were some way we could at least confirm that whatever spirit is in there is sentient, and friendly..."
[14:18] * Reis nods. "Agreed, like Yuuno said, this could work, or it could easily go REALLY wrong..."
[14:18] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Mani and nods.
[14:18] <Kuonji> ("It's a million to one odds, but it just might work! ... See? I CAN'T fail now!")
[14:18] <Mani> "I mean, if it is Sheena in there, do you want to risk disrupting the process?"
[14:19] * Reis shakes her head. "Absolutely not."
[14:19] <Mani> "Then I'm against the idea."
[14:19] <Kuonji> (saw that coming)
[14:20] <Mani> (Sakura is there, isn't he? Doesn't he want to say anything?)
[14:20] * Reis nods. "Comparing the risks to the benefits... just doesn't seem worthwhile."
[14:21] * Kuonji looks to Yuuno and Reis
[14:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Unless it's Sheena, and she needs our help."
[14:21] <Kuonji> "Do you at least have any idea on the odds for something like this?"
[14:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I might as well throw it out there, we're all thinking it."
[14:21] <Alathon> Yuuno then looks over to Kuonji.
[14:21] <Reis> "No, and that's the problem."
[14:22] <Alathon> Yuuno: "No, I've got no idea. I can't think of a precedent."
[14:22] <Mani> "Actually, I wasn't. But we don't have any evidence that she needs help, do we?"
[14:22] <Alathon> Yuuno, irritated: "We don't have any evidence either way."
[14:22] <Kuonji> "We don't have any evidence she doesn't."
[14:22] * Mani nods.
[14:23] * Reis pulls off her glasses and starts cleaning them. "That's the big issue... Sakura-san could get us more information, but we don't know if that 'information' will be acquired by blowing up the device or what..."
[14:23] <Mani> "If there was evidence that she did, it would be worth considering. But without it, let's not risk screwing things up. We know WE have no way of bringing her back ourselves."
[14:23] <Kuonji> "and suppose it isn't Sheena. Suppose it's some psychotic mass of evil that happened to come along and posses it, something we've even set up safeguards against."
[14:23] * Kuonji indicates the marines
[14:24] <Reis> "Um... in that case, would you really want to go INSIDE it?"
[14:24] <Kuonji> "Can we afford to give it time to finish doing what it's doing?"
[14:24] <DCG> (sounds like something to run by the boss, who would be upset at not geting her say,)
[14:24] <Mani> (Of course.)
[14:24] <Reis> (Well, if we shoot it down HERE, no need to :P )
[14:24] <DCG> (just dont ask venus... heh)
[14:24] <Reis> "Wouldn't that render you something like a snack for it?"
[14:25] <Mani> "Are you willing to risk losing Sheena on these what-ifs?"
[14:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Are you willing to risk losing sheena on refusing to act on what-ifs?"
[14:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Seems like a circular argument."
[14:25] <Kuonji> "We COULD be risking her either way."
[14:25] * Reis slips her glasses back on. "Yeah, the what-ifs could go either way for all we know."
[14:26] <Mani> "To be honest, I'd rather lose her by failing to act than lose her by going out and actively fucking things up."
[14:26] <Kuonji> "I'd rather not lose her period."
[14:26] <Mani> "And I believe that if she is in there, considering how much we know about bringing people back to life, we're likelier to do more harm than good."
[14:27] <Kuonji> "Umm, we know something about bringing people back to life?
[14:27] <Kuonji> "
[14:27] <Mani> "Of course, Sakura. But without any solid reason to go meddling in something that could be thrown out of balance by the very attempt..."
[14:27] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "I'd agree a bit... there are a LOT more ways for this to go very very badly, than there are for it to be a salvation..."
[14:27] <Mani> "Without a body? After so long? I don't. Do you?"
[14:28] <Kuonji> "Maybe we should ask the boss."
[14:29] <Mani> "That's fair enough. Without a compelling reason, I'm against doing anything to Dark Heart, but we can certainly ask her."
[14:29] <Mani> "Maybe she'll see it your way."
[14:30] <Mani> "By the way, another reason I'm reluctant to try anything is because we'd be risking you, in addition to possibly Sheena.
[14:30] <DCG> (yuuno: What would sheena do in this position? Mani: Dont you mean who?)
[14:30] <Mani> "Do you want to contact Usagi, Sakura? It's your idea."
[14:30] * Kuonji nods
[14:30] * Kuonji takes out his comm and dials Usagi
[14:33] <Alathon> It'll take a bit, but she'll make herself available for a video conference.
[14:33] <Alathon> Something like twenty minutes later, it's live.
[14:33] <Alathon> Usagi: "So.. you mentioned something about Dark Heart?"
[14:33] <Alathon> She looks like she's facing Sakura.
[14:34] <Kuonji> "Yes, I broached Reis with the idea of unisoning with the device now that it has both a soul and linker core."
[14:34] <Alathon> Usagi: '..."
[14:34] <Alathon> Usagi takes a moment to think that over.
[14:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "To what end?"
[14:37] <Kuonji> "Well, I can think of several things. It'll let me provide feedback to Reis and Yuuno on the state of the magical core, possibly put me in contact with Dark Heart and or the soul inhabiting it, and assess whether it's a threat."
[14:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[14:38] <Alathon> usagi: "At substantial risk, I'd think."
[14:38] <Alathon> usagi: "What happens if whatever's in there turns out to be hostile.. and you've merged yourself into it?"
[14:39] * Kuonji looks to Yuuno
[14:39] <Alathon> Yuuno shrugs.
[14:39] <Kuonji> "You'd probably have a better idea then I do."
[14:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I can't predict that."
[14:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I think that in general, unison devices can choose to de-unison at will.. but that's under normal circumstances."
[14:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I've never heard of that capability actually being tested."
[14:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "For that matter, I've never heard of it being tested against spirit-caging magicks."
[14:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "and there's something like that at play here.."
[14:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "Right."
[14:42] <Alathon> usagi: "That's an awfully high risk for a bit of intel, Sakura."
[14:42] <Alathon> usagi: "Any other reasons to attempt it?"
[14:42] * Kuonji looks to Yuuno again "You mentioned that it could help if it is in fact Sheena, right?"
[14:45] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It's one possibility among many."
[14:45] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I really don't have a good way to assess that."
[14:45] <Alathon> Usagi closes her eyes.
[14:45] <Alathon> usagi: "Thin.. very thin."
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi opens her eyes and continues.
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sakura.. I know you want to help her if she needs it.. if it's really her in there."
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "But this is really stretching it."
[14:46] * Kuonji nods
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "and I know it really, really sucks just sitting there doing nothing, waiting."
[14:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "But.. I think it's our best bet."
[14:47] * Kuonji nods
[14:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "That said, the idea is not without merit."
[14:48] <Alathon> usagi: "And it speaks well of you that you'd be willing to take that sort of risk."
[14:48] <Alathon> usagi: "Just.. let it lie, for now."
[14:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "We can consider more drastic measures if it stays this way for months rather than days."
[14:49] * Kuonji nods
[14:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright.. if that's all, I need to get back to work."
[14:51] <Alathon> She'll wait a moment to give people time to speak up, then disconnect.
[14:54] <Mani> "She is right. It is something to keep in mind if nothing seems to happen for too long."
[14:54] <Mani> "Or things change for the worse."
[14:56] <Mani> (If there's nothing else, I guess we skip ahead.)
[14:56] <Reis> (Nothing else from me)
[14:56] <Kuonji> (I'm good)
[14:57] <Alathon> alright
[14:57] <Alathon> moving on
[14:57] <Alathon> we get to a bit over two weeks since Sheena's death.
[14:57] <Alathon> Venus will show up at the appointed time for a meeting.
[14:57] <Alathon> Venus: "If you don't mind, can I have a look at it?"
[14:57] <Kuonji> (alleged death!)
[14:58] * Reis doesn't mind, and escorts her that way.
[14:58] <Mani> ("Pervert.")
[14:58] <Alathon> (there's nothing perverted about a little office-sex with your old boss)
[14:59] * Mani goes along, too.
[14:59] <Reis> (... Actually, Venus was never Reis's boss.)
[14:59] <Alathon> (now, a threesome.. that's actually a little perverted)
[14:59] <Alathon> Anyways..
[15:00] <Alathon> Over the course of the weeks, the speed of the pulses has increased to almost thirty pulses per minute.
[15:00] <Alathon> Otherwise, it's the same.
[15:00] <Alathon> talia is on duty, since Yuuno wanted to get in on the briefing.
[15:00] <Alathon> She's working on something or other, fingers flying across a keyboard.
[15:00] * Reis greets Talia as they come in.
[15:01] <Alathon> She looks up.
[15:01] <Alathon> Talia: "Oh, hey."
[15:01] <Alathon> She looks back at what she was doing.
[15:01] <Mani> (This must be doing horrible things to Talia's backlog. She was swamped when we visited her before...)
[15:01] <Alathon> It's not entirely clear if she really heard you, or just went through the reflexive motions of hearing you.
[15:02] <Reis> (... Speaking OF Talia's backlog, did we ever get the report on that massive haul we made from the bag of holding fight?)
[15:03] <Mani> (It was next in the queue until this came up. ;) )
[15:04] <Alathon> (nope, that's forthcoming)
[15:04] <Alathon> Venus will not bother Talia; she'll head straight over to Dark Heart, and stare at it for a bit.
[15:04] <Alathon> She raises one hand and starts to reach out, then stops herself, and lets it drop to her side.
[15:05] <Alathon> The current on-duty Marines are keeping busy with a holographic game of dice.
[15:06] <Alathon> in turns, one will hold their hands near-ish to a disk maybe ten centimeters across on the floor, then motion like they're throwing dice.. and they come out.
[15:06] <Alathon> it looks like they're antying power-packs.
[15:07] <Alathon> (ante-ing, rather)
[15:07] <Alathon> After a short while, Venus returns to the group.
[15:07] <Alathon> Venus will make similar arrangements as Usagi did last time, pulling up a desk chair.
[15:07] <Alathon> Venus: "---"
[15:08] <Alathon> As soon as she opens her mouth, there's an alarm sound from the machinery by Dark Heart
[15:08] <Alathon> Venus' head turns over in that direction.
[15:09] <Alathon> Talia tosses aside what she was working on and scrambles over to it.. while the Marines scramble to pick up their powerpacks.
[15:09] <Alathon> If you check, they're armed with modified plasma rifles.
[15:10] <Alathon> Sergeant, cursing: "Get thsoe Mark II's ready!"
[15:10] <Alathon> (everyone else is free to act as well)
[15:10] * Mani makes a pair of swords.
[15:11] <Kuonji> (we're here?)
[15:11] <Kuonji> (oh right, meeting with venus)
[15:12] * Kuonji stands up and forms his shadowsabre
[15:12] * Reis blinks and jerks up to a seat, turning to run to the gear by Dark Heart.
[15:12] * Reis activates Swordbreaker in mid-step, covering herself with her barrier jacket as she makes her way there.
[15:12] * Mani goes to where she can see Dark Heart but not be in the way of people who know what they're doing.
[15:13] <Alathon> The marines arm up, but keep their distance -- they don't really need to be close to be in a fight.
[15:13] * Kuonji moves to be a few feet behind Reis
[15:15] * Reis looks at the scanners to try and figure out what's happening.
[15:16] <Alathon> Venus moves as well, though she keeps her distance as well.
[15:16] <Alathon> hmm
[15:16] <Alathon> computer use roll, reis
[15:16] <Reis> roll 1d20+26
[15:17] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{34}
[15:19] * Reis purses her lips. "Containment's fading... a mass effect is replacing it right now... Creating a body?"
[15:20] <Alathon> Venus: "Well, now.."
[15:21] <Alathon> Venus pulls her hands apart, and with a flash of golden energy, she's holding a gold-and-crystal chain scythe.
[15:21] <Alathon> Venus: "Definately a good time for it to happen."
[15:22] <Kuonji> (awww, I'm kinda bummed I didn't get to unison with it)
[15:23] <Reis> (/me pats Kuonji)
[15:23] <DCG> (thats what you get for listing to logic)
[15:23] <Alathon> talia is working furiously on one console, with Reis on another.
[15:23] <Alathon> Talia: "It's building something, that is for sure!"
[15:23] * Reis frowns, working at a console. "Question is, where?"
[15:24] <Reis> (DO we know where it's building its something?)
[15:24] <Alathon> It's.. around it's current form.
[15:24] <Alathon> Which is currently on a large bench, enclosed by glass and various instruments.
[15:25] <Alathon> hmm
[15:25] <Alathon> spot check, everyone
[15:25] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[15:25] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{19}
[15:25] <Mani> roll 1d20+12
[15:25] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{15}
[15:25] <Mani> (Threes again...)
[15:25] <Reis> (... The NEXT one better not be a three.)
[15:25] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+17
[15:25] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{33}
[15:26] <Mani> (For some reason, I'm not entirely reassured by that...)
[15:26] <Kuonji> (heh)
[15:26] <Kuonji> (the bot is taunting us)
[15:26] <Alathon> Alright
[15:26] <Alathon> Talia: "It's spiking!"
[15:26] <Alathon> Nobody really needs to be told this though.
[15:27] <Alathon> As everyone sees the magenta streaks of lightning coursing around Dark Heart's form.
[15:28] <Alathon> (hmm.. is everyone here familiar with the effect when you gate in a Protoss structure in Starcraft?)
[15:28] <Mani> (Wireframe that gets more detailed?)
[15:28] <Alathon> (yeah)
[15:28] <Alathon> (with a haze of energy filling it)
[15:28] <Alathon> Well, that's what happens.
[15:29] <Mani> (Sheena and her obsession with Protoss tech...)
[15:29] <Alathon> And it's forming a humanoid body, eminently female, that looks to be a bit over five feet tall.. maybe 5'3, 5'4ish
[15:29] <Kuonji> "..."
[15:30] <Alathon> Venus watches impassively.. Talia continues to work on the console.
[15:30] <Alathon> She occasionally peers over it, at what's actually happening.
[15:30] <Alathon> If anyone looks, the Marines are a little nervous.
[15:30] * Reis blinks, turning slightly away from the console to prep her sword and keep an eye on the appearing body.
[15:31] <Alathon> Talia: "Humanoid.. female.. definately not human."
[15:31] <Alathon> Talia: "Dark heart's... changing?"
[15:31] <Alathon> Talia: "They're not seperate, it's one being, Dark Heart included."
[15:31] <Mani> "Hm."
[15:32] <Alathon> Venus, lightly: "Regarding Youma... this is pretty much what they looked like. Humanoid, female, with bizarre colors and usually some extra appendages or features."
[15:32] <Alathon> The lightshow fades..
[15:32] * Reis 's sword cycles as she splits her attention between Dark Heart and her console.
[15:33] <Kuonji> (bahahahaha)
[15:33] <Mani> "Interesting."
[15:33] <Kuonji> (if sheena is a youma.... bahahahahahahaha)
[15:33] <Alathon> Revealing a figure with human features, but very non-human coloration.
[15:33] <Reis> "... Well, that's comforting, ma'am."
[15:33] <Alathon> Venus: "There's no need to attack it. Her."
[15:33] <Alathon> Venus: "At least not yet."
[15:34] <Alathon> Her coloration is... well, pretty evil looking.
[15:34] <Alathon> Eyes are closed, so you can't tell that.
[15:34] <Kuonji> (damn)
[15:34] <Alathon> But the hair is a huge mass of spiky magenta strands. Think Washuu on LSD.
[15:35] <Alathon> Most of the skin is a shiny black, marbled with deep purple/magenta.
[15:35] <Alathon> Other than the head hair, it doesn't seem to have any other hair or fur.
[15:36] <Kuonji> (saves on razors and wax at least)
[15:36] <Alathon> In contrast to the torso and most of the body, the hands are pitch black and nonreflective.. you can only really see their outline.
[15:36] * Reis pauses and waves slightly. "Hi?" Then her hand returns to the console.
[15:36] <Alathon> They look like they'rem ade from solid darkness.. that fades into 'normal' skin.
[15:36] <Alathon> Everyone will hear a series of ker-chicks, as Reis pumps cartridges into some magical effect.
[15:37] <Alathon> The figure is.. unresponsive.
[15:38] <Alathon> Talia: "It's.. I think it's mostly done."
[15:38] <Alathon> The lightshow is done at least.
[15:38] <Alathon> Then one last thing happens --
[15:38] <Alathon> Talia: "Wait!"
[15:39] <Alathon> On the creature's chest, there's a shimmer, and a tracery of light appears..
[15:41] <Alathon> it resolves into a rectangular jewel, unsurprisingly magenta in color, which seems to be park of the creature's torso.
[15:41] * Mani nods to herself.
[15:41] <Alathon> It's centered just below her breasts.
[15:41] <Mani> (Does the creature seem to be breathing, btw?)
[15:41] * Reis blinks.
[15:41] <Alathon> And.. th at's that. No more glowey stuff.
[15:42] <Alathon> Nope, no breathing.
[15:42] <Alathon> No movementw hatsoever.
[15:42] <Kuonji> <abyssal>"...Hello?"
[15:42] * Reis continues to work at the console to see if she can figure anything else out.
[15:42] * Kuonji checks it out with his spirit sight
[15:43] * DCG is now known as Shade
[15:44] * Mani peers at her.
[15:44] <Kuonji> (awwwww, it's not Sheena)
[15:44] <Kuonji> (boo)
[15:44] <Shade> (just how big is this box she traped in?)
[15:44] <Mani> "Hmmm. Strong."
[15:44] <Alathon> It's got a couple feet clearance on each side.
[15:44] <Reis> (Box?)
[15:44] <Mani> (The force is strong on this one.)
[15:45] <Alathon> She's inside a glass (or crystal?) enclosure, surrounded by equipment.
[15:45] <Kuonji> (let's just hope she doesn't head toward the garden of madness on us)
[15:45] <Reis> (Ahhh)
[15:45] * Shade starts to stir as she's wakening up
[15:46] <Mani> (Don't worry. The chance that she'd be killed in the attempt is 9,335,452,521%)
[15:46] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+6
[15:46] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{21}
[15:47] * Kuonji blinks a couple times
[15:47] <Kuonji> "Sheena?"
[15:47] * Shade strechs out long legs and rolls to its back. Sitting up proves to be a bad idea as there's a tump from her head smacking into the top of the inclosure.
[15:47] <Alathon> Talia, sympathetically: "oh!"
[15:48] <Alathon> She looks over at the party.
[15:48] <Alathon> Talia: "Um.. do I open it?"
[15:48] <Shade> "XX xxxx xxxxxx xxxXX"
[15:48] <Kuonji> "Yes."
[15:48] * Reis (~miraclewo@CPE001346f5370f-CM0012c9ab5798.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
[15:48] <Kuonji> (lol)
[15:48] <Alathon> (all the PC's speak abyssal now, if that's what youre doing just say <abyssal> before it)
[15:49] <Alathon> (okay, gonna give Reis a couple seconds)
[15:49] <Mani> (No, that's just one of DCG's worse typoes. ;) )
[15:49] <Alathon> Talia hesitates for a moment..
[15:50] <Mani> "If she's a real threat, that barrier won't stop her."
[15:50] * Shade swearing in the dark toung as its eyes open to see what the fuck is going on. Soild pools of magenta blink at what she smashed her head on. Her swearing shows a mouth full of imposing teeth backlit by a similire glow from with in.
[15:50] <Shade> (oops)
[15:51] * Reis (~miraclewo@CPE001346f5370f-CM0012c9ab5798.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #crystaltokyo
[15:51] * Kuonji dispells his shadow sabre and starts walking towards the container
[15:51] <Reis> (Was WONDERING about the sudden silence...)
[15:51] <Reis> <Kuonji> (let's just hope she doesn't head toward the garden of madness on us)
[15:51] <Reis> * Shade starts to stir as she's wakening up
[15:51] <Reis> * Disconnected
[15:51] <Shade> (xxx= "Ow! Damn it son of a bich!")
[15:51] <Reis> (What'd I miss?)
[15:51] * Kuonji breaks out into a grin
[15:51] <Reis> (Um... dudes? What's happening?)
[15:51] <Alathon> (PM'd
[15:52] <Mani> (It's Tsukasa.)
[15:52] <Alathon> (it's actually Tsukasa and Prince Diamond's lovechild)
[15:52] <Kuonji> (which one was diamond?)
[15:53] <Shade> (the not gay one
[15:53] <Kuonji> (ah)
[15:53] * Reis nods. "Yeah, open it... Mani's right."
[15:53] <Kuonji> (that's still one of my favorite moments with you guys)
[15:53] <Alathon> (hah, yeah, rubeus and sapphire were kinda light at the heals weren't you)
[15:53] <Reis> (Heheh.)
[15:53] <Alathon> (weren't they ;p )
[15:53] <Alathon> (and, *heels)
[15:54] <Reis> (Well, Rubeus at least. I remember Sapphire as being fairly heterosexual)
[15:54] <Mani> (I'm not sure, but I think someone's been insulted.)
[15:54] <Reis> (Rubeus... trash-talking him was so fun)
[15:54] <Alathon> (heh, in DCG's game? yeah)
[15:54] <Alathon> talia goes ahead and clicks through something on her console.
[15:55] <Reis> (He's about to kill us, and all we can find time for is commenting on his sexual orientation)
[15:55] <Alathon> A moment later, the glass enclosure splits in half, sliding apart, then down into the table it was on.
[15:55] * Shade seems to be getting annoyed at the ship in a bottle deal as the inside darkens a bit
[15:55] * Reis turns from her console and stands up to keep her attention on what's going on.
[15:56] <Mani> <Abyssal> "So... Care to introduce yourself?"
[15:56] <Kuonji> "It's Sheena."
[15:56] * Reis blinks. "Uhhh...?"
[15:56] * Kuonji points to the side of his head. "These eyes don't lie."
[15:56] <Mani> ("I recognize her bone structure.")
[15:57] * Reis 's eyes widen. "Really?"
[15:57] * Shade sits up from her place on the table and gives her back a strech, arms behind her head, and chest out
[15:57] <Alathon> (look at that chest-thrust, of course it's sheena!)
[15:57] <Mani> (I was just thinking that.)
[15:58] <Mani> (Not too loud) "Sheena in what way?"
[15:58] <Alathon> Whatever it is, it is endowed at Sheena's standards.
[15:58] <Reis> (Is she, um... dressed?)
[15:58] <Alathon> No, it's butt-naked.
[15:58] <Kuonji> "Her soul."
[15:58] <Reis> (And for that matter, is she even short enough to be Sheena? :P )
[15:58] <Alathon> Not really
[15:58] <Alathon> she's substantially taller than Sheena was
[15:58] <Alathon> Sheena clocked in at 4'9
[15:58] <Reis> (Heh)
[15:59] <Alathon> This thing seems to be around.. 5'4 or so
[15:59] <Mani> "Mm. Hopefully the mind is the same, too."
[15:59] * Shade blinks at the people around her and then at herself, checking out her odd hands.. and then her body.
[16:00] <Alathon> As it's eyes open, you'll see that they're not eyes.
[16:00] <Alathon> They're just.. bright magenta.
[16:00] <Alathon> No pupils, whites, nothing.
[16:00] <Alathon> Venus: "And, folks, that's another typical Youma feature."
[16:00] <Alathon> Venus: "Pools of energy instead of eyes."
[16:01] <Reis> "... Yay."
[16:01] <Shade> Its light but every oen can hear her in the quiet as she goes over herself. "Boobs check, ass check, mm better legs. Hair insane.. and there's my crystal.. wait mine?"
[16:01] <Reis> "... Yeah, the mind's the same, Mani."
[16:01] <Alathon> Yuuno, hopeful: "The priorities are the same.."
[16:01] * Reis just... grins.
[16:02] * Kuonji leaps the rest of the distance and gives Sheena a flying tackle hug
[16:02] * Mani looks at Venus.
[16:02] <Mani> "Ok if I go ... never mind."
[16:02] * Shade yawns even tho it dont seems to breath, more habbit then anything. The same magenta glow of engery makes up what would be her throat
[16:02] <Alathon> Do you choose to defend yourself against the glomp?
[16:03] <Shade> (she's still catching up mentally so no)
[16:03] <Alathon> Okay, Kuonji's glomp succeeds.
[16:03] <Mani> (Unfortunately, Sheena's eyes work completely differently in this form, so she doesn't recognize any of us and retaliates to the leap attack.)
[16:03] <Alathon> And his clothes promptly catch fire
[16:03] <Alathon> roll 1d8
[16:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{7}
[16:03] * Reis is grinning, and runs that way... stopping short with the 'clothes catch fire' part.
[16:03] <Shade> (sooo wait.. nakkied sakura on nakkied sheena?"
[16:04] <Kuonji> "Yikes!"
[16:04] <Shade> "Woah!"
[16:04] * Kuonji stops drops and rolls
[16:04] <Alathon> (she's not naked yet)
[16:04] <Alathon> hah
[16:04] <Alathon> gimme a, um.. reflex save, sakura
[16:04] <Alathon> er
[16:04] <Reis> (She? Isn't she naked to start with? Or did you err with Saku-kun.)
[16:04] <Alathon> he's not naked yet
[16:04] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+17
[16:04] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{29}
[16:04] * Reis runs up to help Sakura get off and put out the fire.
[16:05] * Mani smiles and shakes her head.
[16:05] <Mani> "Hnh."
[16:05] <Alathon> You manage to roll your clothes out in short order.
[16:05] <Reis> (Sheena: "Yeah, ain't I hot?")
[16:05] * Kuonji stands up with Reis assistance
[16:06] <Kuonji> "Well, that kind of ruined the moment..."
[16:06] <Kuonji> "That said, Sheena, if you ever die again, I'll fucking kill you."
[16:06] <Shade> "what the hell! Who started the party while i was asleep, damn it."
[16:06] * Reis just... sweatdrops.
[16:06] <Mani> (Has Sheena reacted to us in any way yet?)
[16:06] * Kuonji gives a rather deadpan delivery for the last line
[16:06] <Shade> "Die again? Oh.. hey wait! I did it! Ahhh hahahahahaah!"
[16:07] <Alathon> Venus, deadpan: "Death one, Sheena one."
[16:07] * Shade jumps up and gives a rather scary sounding laught consdering she dont have lungs
[16:07] <Alathon> She pockets her chain-scythe.
[16:07] <Mani> "Congratulations. We should start a club. Very exclusive."
[16:07] * Shade is now known as Sheena
[16:07] <Mani> ("We'll call ourselves ... mm, Death Eaters.")
[16:08] <Alathon> The under sheena's feet blackens and starts to smoke.
[16:08] * Sheena gets distacted by the hair in her face that she brushs away again
[16:08] <Alathon> The Carpet, that is
[16:08] <Sheena> "So what's with all the chatter about youma while a girls catching her sleep?
[16:08] <Mani> "It's good to have you back. Can you turn that off, by the way?"
[16:08] <Alathon> roll 1d4
[16:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=4 ]{4}
[16:09] * Sheena blinks at mani, still a bit confused an mentally catching up
[16:09] <Kuonji> "You're burning the carpet."
[16:09] <Mani> "Your 'set everything that touches me on fire' thing."
[16:09] <Sheena> "Eeep!"
[16:09] <Reis> "And Sakura-san."
[16:09] * Sheena jump up and seems to stick in the air.
[16:10] <Mani> "Well, Sakura heals up on his own. The carpet won't."
[16:10] <Alathon> roll 1d4
[16:10] * Mani smiles slightly.
[16:10] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=4 ]{4}
[16:10] <Alathon> roll 1d2
[16:10] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=1 ]{1}
[16:10] <Alathon> roll 1
[16:10] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1 --> {1}
[16:10] * Sheena looks around confused
[16:10] <Sheena> "What the hells doing on!"
[16:10] * Sheena she then notices venus
[16:10] <Mani> (You have reached directory assistance.)
[16:10] <Sheena> "Oh hey oldboss, whats up"
[16:10] * Sheena she waves from the air
[16:11] <Reis> "Um... you... died? I think?"
[16:11] <Alathon> Venus: "I'm witnessing the miracle of the ressurection. Do I get to be a discipliner?"
[16:11] * Kuonji sweat drops
[16:11] <Mani> "... disciple?"
[16:11] <Alathon> Venus: "...yes, that."
[16:11] <Kuonji> "I dunno, with Sheena I think the former could work."
[16:11] * Reis ... also sweatdrops. "... Ma'am, is that... common?"
[16:12] * Sheena dont even notice the crystal mounted in her glowing with a beat
[16:12] <Mani> "I think she already has one of those."
[16:12] <Alathon> (Sheena: "You can discipline this ass! touches ass, makes a hissing sound, then pulls finger away like it's hot)
[16:12] <Kuonji> (it IS hot)
[16:12] <Alathon> Venus: "No.. no, it's not."
[16:12] <Mani> (Was that supposed to be can't?)
[16:12] <Kuonji> (where's Yuuno."
[16:12] <Reis> (Yes. Turn it off before you burn us down.)
[16:12] <Alathon> Yuuno's right there.
[16:12] <Alathon> She's saying nothing.. doing nothing..
[16:12] * Kuonji look over at Yuuno
[16:12] * Sheena floats down near the party, her happy smile is off set by the glown from her
[16:12] * Reis is just... fairly gobsmacked at this point.
[16:13] <Kuonji> "I think you broke Yuuno, Sheena"
[16:13] <Sheena> "Huh?"
[16:13] * Sheena looks over at yuuno
[16:13] <Sheena> "Yuuno!"
[16:13] <Mani> "Don't set her on fire!"
[16:13] * Sheena seems to come from both sheena and the crystal at the same time
[16:13] <Alathon> Yuuno: "....."
[16:13] * Sheena ends up stoping midlfight.. as she was about to glomp yuuuno
[16:13] <Alathon> She is, indeed, gobsmacked.
[16:14] <Sheena> "I do what now?"
[16:14] <Alathon> Yuuno, quietly: ".....sheena?"
[16:14] <Kuonji> ("Quick, splash some cold water on her!")
[16:14] <Reis> "..."
[16:14] <Mani> "So far, everything you've touched has started to burn."
[16:15] * Sheena spin the air and poses, witch ends up showing off her body, and the things *wrong* with it
[16:15] * Reis sighs, and lays her hand on Sheena's shoulder, probably getting fire dancing over her barrier jacket. "This, Sheena-san."
[16:15] <Alathon> There's some sniggering in the background.. those with super-hearing can hear some fairly explicit suggestions being traded among the Marines.
[16:15] <Sheena> "Know any one else this hot?.. no really its me"
[16:15] <Alathon> Talia keeps busy with her console.
[16:15] <Mani> "You look pretty different, you know."
[16:16] * Sheena hefts her chest rechecking herself
[16:16] <Sheena> "I do?"
[16:16] <Alathon> (just be glad I didn't decide to have the Marines see the "princess" catch fire, and open fire ;p )
[16:16] <Mani> (Heh. PM?)
[16:16] <Sheena> (sheena can dodge them)
[16:17] <Reis> (Did Sheena catch Reis's demonstration of 'everything that touches you catches fire'?)
[16:17] <Sheena> (nope)
[16:17] <Reis> (Also... dodge? Sheena? LIES!)
[16:17] <Sheena> (she's still a bit flightly)
[16:17] * Kuonji eyes the marines
[16:17] <Kuonji> "Just to let you guys know, most of us can hear you."
[16:17] <Mani> roll 1d20+20
[16:17] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{29}
[16:17] <Reis> (Well, Reis is touching you right now, and her arm is on fire, so... you can see it fairly easily.)
[16:18] * Sheena floats back from the burning reis
[16:18] * Mani makes something out of crystal, makes a face, and tosses it before trying again.
[16:19] <Mani> roll 1d20+20
[16:19] <Sheena> "I see.. hang on. Im still processing what the hell i jsut pulled off.."
[16:19] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{40}
[16:19] * Mani holds up a beautiful crystal mirror so Sheena can see herself in it.
[16:19] <Sheena> "Making a new body out of my frame work and linker core wasn't ea.... oh wow"
[16:20] * Sheena floats over to the mirror checking her self out in it.
[16:20] * Reis pats down her arm to get it NOT on fire, stepping back a bit.
[16:20] * Sheena moves this way and that, checking her shape.. she puts a hand over the center gem in her.
[16:21] <Sheena> "Oh wow..."
[16:21] <Kuonji> (heh, no reaction from the marines to Sakura's comment?)
[16:21] <Sheena> "I am so... Bad ass!"
[16:21] <Alathon> Yuuno starts to reach out to touch Sheena.. then catches up with the conversation, and stops herself, looking forlorn.
[16:21] * Kuonji snickers
[16:21] * Sheena is clearly impressed with herself.
[16:22] <Alathon> Venus: "Another typical Youma trait: delusions of grandeur."
[16:22] <Mani> (Well, the marines probably can't hear us. :) )
[16:22] <Alathon> She says it jokingly though.
[16:22] * Sheena looks over at venus a bit hurt
[16:22] <Sheena> "hey!"
[16:22] <Mani> "No, the original had that, too."
[16:22] <Alathon> Venus, smiling: "Just saying.."
[16:23] <Alathon> Venus: "But... damn I'm glad to have you back, after the way I half-assed that mission."
[16:23] <Mani> "We're all glad to have you back."
[16:23] <Alathon> She'll walk up to Sheena, and give Sheena a big hug.
[16:23] <Alathon> Her Senshi uniform, and flesh for that matter, seem to absorb the heat just fine.
[16:23] * Sheena hugs back tightly enjoying the feeling again
[16:23] * Kuonji pulls out his comm and dials Usagi
[16:24] * Reis pushes her glasses up for a moment to wipe at her eyes.
[16:24] <Sheena> "Good to be back.."
[16:25] <Rockman_Zero> (Venus: "Let's celebrate! Everyone, grab some sausages and steaks, Sheena, you be the barbecque." :P)
[16:25] <Sheena> "And we both knew what we we're getting into steping up for that mission, i would do it again"
[16:26] * Mani puts the mirror someplace safe and hugs Sheena once Venus is done.
[16:26] <Reis> "... Try not to."
[16:26] <Kuonji> (do I get the boss or what?)
[16:26] <Alathon> ahh, sorry
[16:26] <Alathon> Yeah, you do
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "What's up?"
[16:27] <Kuonji> "Well, I've got some good news, and some bad news..."
[16:27] <Alathon> Mani's armor is more than sufficient to not catch fire
[16:27] * Reis just steps forward and hugs as well.
[16:27] <Mani> (Kuonji: "First, Sheena has come back to life." Usagi: "And the good news?")
[16:27] <Reis> (Reis's barrier jacket is too, right?)
[16:27] * Sheena looks over at yuuno from the hug pile, wondering whats wrong.
[16:27] <Alathon> (yes)
[16:27] <Alathon> Yuuno's just sort of shaking her head.
[16:28] <Alathon> There are streaks from tears coming down from h er eyes.
[16:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I.. I want to, too, Sheena, but I can't."
[16:28] <Reis> ("Because I would _catch fire_.")
[16:28] <Alathon> (you'd be aware that she has been using forcefields rather than a barrier jacket)
[16:28] <Mani> ("My defect... I'm especially vulnerable to fire.")
[16:28] * Sheena looks a bit emberssed herself
[16:29] <Reis> (Well, elves ARE attuned to the woods...)
[16:29] <Sheena> "Ahh, im sorry yuuno'
[16:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "How.. how does it feel?"
[16:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Are you okay?"
[16:29] <Mani> "Hopefully, you'll be able to find a way to turn that off..."
[16:29] <Sheena> "Still getting the hang of this new body.. i need to fine tune the field permatiers"
[16:29] * Kuonji keeps a straight face "The bad news is that Dark Hear, for lack of a better term, seems to have birthed what appears to be a Youma."
[16:29] * Reis breathes out and backs away, starting to put herself out.
[16:29] <Alathon> Usagi, to Kuonji: "This better be some seriously good news."

Session 74 - part 2

[16:30] * Kuonji grins "It's Sheena."
[16:30] <Sheena> "Im not a youma damn it!"
[16:30] <Alathon> Usagi looks, to you, hugely relieved.
[16:30] * Sheena yells then turns back to yuuno
[16:30] <Alathon> Venus: "Oh, really? Then what are you?"
[16:30] <Mani> (Usagi: "That's great news, Sakura. By the way, you have KP duty for the next week.")
[16:31] * Sheena blinks and looks at yuuno and venus.. she thinks for a moment and the cyrtal in her glows a bit
[16:31] <Kuonji> ("A magical construct that sustains itself on the life force of... oh wait."
[16:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Thank you for letting me know, sakura."
[16:31] <Kuonji> _
[16:31] <Alathon> (Sheena: "I'm Rick James, bitch!")
[16:31] * Kuonji grins
[16:32] <Rockman_Zero> (She's a protoss archon. :P)
[16:33] <Kuonji> "... Oh... Shit..."
[16:33] <Sheena> "This body is a soild state engery matrix made from both dark heart and sheena's core. I seem to be both sheena and dark heart but since Sheena had the soul im mostly myself with.. extras?"
[16:33] <Kuonji> "Ah... Sheena? You might want to contact Celeste... She... Kinds of thinks you're dead."
[16:33] * Reis blinks and looks at Kuonji. "... Sakura-san?"
[16:33] * Sheena blinks and looks a bit paniced..
[16:33] <Reis> "... She was right after all. ... How did she know you weren't dead?"
[16:34] <Mani> (How fireproof are our comms?)
[16:34] <Sheena> "Dude... she's goign to be soo pissed"
[16:34] * Sheena looks back at venus
[16:34] <Reis> (Right, Sheena's sleeping on the couch for the next few... months.)
[16:34] <Alathon> (they're pretty durable, but not fireproof)
[16:34] <Mani> "She already is. Want me to call her for you?"
[16:34] <Mani> (Only if it's an asbestos couch.)
[16:34] <Sheena> "So there, I had to reform out of my raw magic. "
[16:36] * Sheena looks around where they are but stays sorta near yuuno with out setting her on fire
[16:37] <Sheena> "You guys jumped to the bar before jumping back home?"
[16:37] <Reis> "Uh... yeah, it was the only way out."
[16:37] <Mani> "Yeah. Not much choice, from what I understand."
[16:37] * Sheena nods
[16:37] <Sheena> "Never do that again"
[16:37] * Sheena looks quite serrious saying that
[16:37] <Mani> "Never go to the Bar again?"
[16:37] * Reis blinks.
[16:38] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Huh?"
[16:38] <Alathon> Venus holds her peace.
[16:38] <Sheena> "Umm.. well ill cover it more later"
[16:38] <Sheena> "But i got quite the clear warning.. how did it go.."
[16:40] <Alathon> sigh
[16:40] <Alathon> brb

[16:41] * Alathon|afk is now known as Alathon
[16:41] * ChanServ sets mode: +oa Alathon Alathon
[16:41] <Reis> (Welcome back)
[16:43] <Alathon> Venus: "Do tell."
[16:43] <Alathon> (sorry about that)
[16:43] <Alathon> (mirc was getting wonky.. which is wierd, cuz it usually doesn't)
[16:43] <Mani> (Is Usagi still on the line, listening in?)
[16:44] <Reis> (Okay, Sheena, you got a clear warning, how DID it go? :P )
[16:45] <Mani> (Slowly. :) )
[16:45] <Alathon> Usagi is still on the line.
[16:45] <Sheena> " i was basical told, "If you or yours ever again use my bar as a safe haven, bolthole, or refuge from combat, I'll rend the lot of you from existance." Was rather scarey to"
[16:45] <Sheena> (sorry was diging up the quoat, its a strong line:P)
[16:45] <Mani> "Ah. Yes, we weren't planning to. Figured it'd annoy the management."
[16:45] <Mani> "Guess we were right..."
[16:45] <Alathon> Venus: "...yeesh."
[16:46] <Kuonji> "What a cunt."
[16:47] * Sheena shurga and then forms a blade of darkness as she sits in the air, scraping some smoldering gunk of the bottom of her feet.
[16:47] <Reis> "... Yeah, I guess we need a new withdrawal area."
[16:47] <Sheena> "Damn this is going to be annoying..'
[16:47] <Kuonji> "About that... Think we could use my pocket dimension?"
[16:47] <Alathon> Usagi, to Sakura: "What was all that about?"
[16:48] * Kuonji looks down to Usagi
[16:48] <Kuonji> "Uh... which bit?
[16:48] <Kuonji> "
[16:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "The bit about being rent from existance."
[16:48] <Sheena> "So anyway! No youma here. And.. where the hell are we? Whats with the troops"
[16:48] <Mani> "Just who gave you that warning, Sheena?"
[16:49] <Sheena> "Thats a story for a privet setting"
[16:49] <Kuonji> "Oh, managment at the bar basically said they destroy us."
[16:49] * Sheena looks over at the techs and troops
[16:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Oh, lovely."
[16:49] <Kuonji> "If we ever escaped to their again."
[16:49] <Kuonji> (*there)
[16:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Wait, so the super evil demonic being gets all pissy when people bring their fights to its doorstep?"
[16:49] <Mani> (It's Sheena's presence. :) )
[16:49] <Alathon> She sounds a little aggravated.
[16:49] <Mani> (We did discuss the issue in our meeting last session.)
[16:50] <Kuonji> "Apparantly... Must be bad for buisness."
[16:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "bad for.. you know what, never mind."
[16:50] * Reis sighs. "I can... understand that, annoying as it is."
[16:50] <Mani> (With Usagi.)
[16:50] <Alathon> usagi: "Let's discuss this in person. Later. As long as Venus signs off on Sheena not being an agent of evil, or whatever, just take some time for yourselves."
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi hangs up.
[16:51] * Kuonji tucks the comm away
[16:51] <Kuonji> "But wait, it's Sheena... When HASN'T she been an agent of evil?"
[16:51] <Alathon> Venus snickers.
[16:51] * Sheena shurgs
[16:52] * Reis sweatdrops. "Agent of... another evil?"
[16:52] <Sheena> "Woulnd't usagi just be calling herself evil then?"
[16:52] <Mani> "The marines are here because Dark Heart was acting strange and we wanted a guard around in case anything dangerous came out or came for it."
[16:52] <Sheena> "Im sorta her agent now"
[16:53] <Alathon> Yuuno can't restrain herself, and laughs.
[16:53] <Mani> "Fortunately, we knew the dangerous thing that came out of it."
[16:53] <Alathon> She sounds ever-so-slightly hysterical.. but seems to be better for having a good laugh.
[16:53] <Alathon> (Sheena: "Dangerous? is that all I rate?")|
[16:53] <Sheena> (Sheena: im feeling snackish.. any one have an extra soul layig around)
[16:54] <Mani> "By the way... it's been almost a month."
[16:54] <Alathon> (Harry Potter: "Yo!")
[16:54] <Sheena> (lulz)
[16:54] <Reis> (Heh. "I've got eight to distribute!")
[16:55] <Sheena> "Felt like years when i was stuck, Im glad dark heart captured my soul and all.. but it was damn freaky"
[16:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What was it like?"
[16:55] <Sheena> "Boring!"
[16:55] <Alathon> Yuuno looks surprised.
[16:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Seriously"
[16:55] <Alathon> (?)
[16:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I always kinda wondered what was going on in there.."
[16:56] <Sheena> "Oh sure, there was the storm of dark engery around me. But that got old a bit to fast"
[16:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Nanoha was so nice..."
[16:56] <Alathon> She trails off.
[16:56] * Reis blinks. "... Comes back from the dead, and it's just boring?"
[16:56] * Reis blinks.
[16:56] <Reis> (Wait, what's Yuuno responding to?)
[16:56] <Alathon> (to Sheena)
[16:56] <Reis> (Which comment? The 'space between death' or...?)
[16:56] <Sheena> "Ya, she was, but got realy scary to"
[16:57] <Alathon> (she's referring to Sheena's soul being held in dark heart)
[16:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well yeah, but WHAT!?"
[16:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "She? You mean Dark Heart?"
[16:57] * Sheena blinks
[16:58] <Sheena> "No im dark heart err.. no wait thats right. Sorry it still wwierd on my end"
[16:58] <Reis> (Ah, gotcha)
[16:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "...."
[16:58] * Reis sweatdrops.
[16:58] <Alathon> Venus: "So.. ARE you an agent of evil?"
[16:59] <Sheena> "Usagi's Not evil she's just misunderstood"
[16:59] <Reis> ("No more than usual." "... Dammit.")
[16:59] <Alathon> Venus laughs.
[16:59] <Alathon> Venus: "Oh, no, that's Saturn.. but.."
[16:59] <Alathon> Venus, sharply: "Who's my Secretary."
[17:00] <Sheena> "Tho i would love to see her in that one dresss the book talked about.."
[17:00] <Kuonji> "Fuck, I don't even remember that."
[17:01] <Alathon> Venus: "Well, she better remember something identifiable."
[17:01] <Sheena> "Gah! this is confusing.. part if me is so giddy to be alive now, another wants to blow something up"
[17:01] <Alathon> Venus: "... you're not building my confidence."
[17:01] <Mani> "I don't know. That sounds like the Sheena I know..."
[17:02] * Sheena blinks and looks back over at venus
[17:02] <Sheena> "Huh?"
[17:02] <Alathon> Venus: "Hmm.. fair enough."
[17:02] <Alathon> Venus: "I suppose this really is a task I should delegate, you'd know better than I."
[17:02] * Reis giggles slightly.
[17:02] <Alathon> Venus: "So go ahead, Mani."
[17:03] <Sheena> "Wait, do what? Why's ever one looking at me funny.. well more so then normal"
[17:03] * Mani thinks.
[17:03] <Kuonji> "Out of everyone we've had on our team over the years, who made you feel the most disgusted?"
[17:03] <Alathon> Yuuno: "because you look like a terrible demon from beyond the reaches of space and time?"
[17:03] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Just without the tentacles."
[17:03] * Sheena makes a face just thinking about it
[17:03] <Kuonji> "She's become one of the Old Ones?"
[17:04] <Sheena> "Ewww.. that dunk idoit who glowed green in the midle of a fucking fight
[17:04] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Kuonji.
[17:04] * Sheena puts her hands over her eyes
[17:04] <Alathon> Yuuno, sharply: "We'd betterhope not. Don't even joke about that."
[17:04] <Sheena> "Ahhh gwhad damn it yuuno, Mental image i didnt need!"
[17:04] <Mani> "Anyone who knew he was ever on our team would know the answer to that."
[17:04] * Mani grins.
[17:04] * Reis blinks. "The... Old Ones?"
[17:04] <Alathon> Yuuno, to Reis: "Don't ask>"
[17:05] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If you see them, they see you."
[17:05] <Sheena> "Brain bleech, i need brain bleech! Gernade with tentacles, what did i ever do to desiver this!"
[17:05] <Rockman_Zero> (
[17:05] <Alathon> (*gernade?)
[17:05] * Reis blinks. "Okay..."
[17:05] <Sheena> (what ever the idoits name was)
[17:05] <Alathon> (Gerand)
[17:05] <Rockman_Zero> ("Very bad grammar!")
[17:05] <Sheena> (i totaly forget)
[17:05] <Sheena> *gerand
[17:05] <Reis> (Gerand. Disturbingly close)
[17:06] <Mani> "What's your lab assistant's name?"
[17:06] <Alathon> Venus: "Gerand, with tentacles? Oh, that's droll."
[17:06] <Alathon> Venus: "You haven't heard about... "
[17:06] <Alathon> She trails off.
[17:06] <Mani> "You know, he did cast a spell that made tentacles appear..."
[17:06] <Kuonji> "Heard about what?"
[17:07] <Kuonji> (out of curiosity al)
[17:07] * Reis glances at Mani. "Mani... I don't even know if Sheena-san bothered to remember that."
[17:07] * Sheena wimpers at the bad toughs as dark heart part of her brings up how it would look
[17:07] <Kuonji> (what would happen if I said Y'gnoloac out loud in game?)
[17:07] <Reis> (Try it and see)
[17:07] <Alathon> (I'd pm you with what it feels like to have your soul raped)
[17:07] <Mani> (How could she not know the name of her assistant at her lab?)
[17:08] <Rockman_Zero> (hehe)
[17:08] <Sheena> (...I really dont)
[17:08] <Alathon> (it's fucking Vanyel)
[17:08] <Sheena> (i think we had one scene with them)
[17:08] <Alathon> (and no, you're not fucking him, he likes guys)
[17:08] <Kuonji> (oh, that's not what supposed to happen, that's to bad, that'd be an awesome game ender right there :P)
[17:08] <Mani> (Your character should know, even if the player doesn't.)
[17:08] <Alathon> (their manifestations vary from dimension to dimension ;p )
[17:08] <Kuonji> ("Anal? oh wait, Vanyel, he was just into that."
[17:08] <Kuonji> )
[17:09] <Reis> (Yes, _I_ remember it, but DCG's memory... sucks. Badly.)
[17:09] <Reis> (It helps when he's playing Jane's horrible amnesia, though :P )
[17:09] <Sheena> "Assisant? Oh the dude we have making shells. Err.. anal no wait Vanyel"
[17:09] <Alathon> Yuuno's jaw drops.
[17:09] <Kuonji> (lol)
[17:10] * Reis sweatdrops. "... Sheena-san. I don't even want to KNOW where you got that."
[17:10] <Mani> (Yuuno: "She remembered?! Imposter!!")
[17:10] <Alathon> Yuuno then puts her face forward into her hands, covering her eyes.
[17:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... that's Sheena alright."
[17:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Subtle and tactful in every word and gesture."
[17:11] <Alathon> The sarcasm is thick enough to be cut with a knife.
[17:11] <Sheena> "Duhhhh, Really tho. Who else would dark heart even bother with yuuno?"
[17:11] <Sheena> "Becides you, me and .. well you know"
[17:12] <Sheena> "Any one else regesters as a target it or fire support"
[17:12] <Reis> "... We're fire support, right?"
[17:13] <Mani> "So, what do you want to do now, Sheena?"
[17:13] <Sheena> "Hide from celeste so she don't kill me?"
[17:14] <Mani> "Oh? I figured you'd want to get in touch with her..."
[17:14] <Reis> "She, um... apparently somehow knew you were alive. She might be able to track you down... You SURE you want to hide?"
[17:14] <Alathon> Yuuno, sarcastically: "Apparently she's burning with lust, or somesuch.."
[17:15] <Sheena> "I catch hell as it is coming back from our normal fights, but getting killed in one? Major shithouse"
[17:15] <Mani> "Or, rather, she said she would have known if you'd died. I think we managed to convince her you were dead, though..."
[17:15] <Sheena> "Gee thanks"
[17:15] <Alathon> Venus gives you all a thumbs-up.
[17:16] <Sheena> "So wait.. i can see we.. well you got away"
[17:16] <Sheena> "What happened to that jerk?"
[17:16] <Mani> "Well, this was before Dark Heart started acting funny."
[17:16] <Alathon> Venus, more serious: "We didn't get him. We just ran."
[17:16] <Alathon> Venus: "That was a bit over two weeks ago, by the way."
[17:16] <Sheena> "Damn! i was hoping some one off'ed that short dicked asshole"
[17:17] <Alathon> Venus shakes her head.
[17:17] <Alathon> Venus: "not as far as I've heard."
[17:17] <Alathon> Venus: "For what it's worth, I haven't heard any reports of him showing up in any engagements since then."
[17:17] * Sheena crosses her arms and sits in mid air sorta pouting
[17:17] <Kuonji> "Hey, look on the bright side now you can join us when we hunt him down and skin him alive!
[17:18] <Sheena> "Totaly a gelious prick, just couldnt handle that celeste traded up for a better model"
[17:18] <Mani> "You know (no, not you, Yuuno), Celeste might be pissed at you, but it's probably going to be a lot worse if she finds out you didn't try to get in touch with her right away after getting back."
[17:18] * Reis blinks. "He was... Celeste's old boyfriend?" Presently boggling.
[17:18] <Mani> "Oh, is that how he knew you?"
[17:18] * Sheena shurgs
[17:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Wait.. seriously>?"
[17:19] <Sheena> "What i got from his taunts"
[17:19] <Reis> "..."
[17:19] <Sheena> "Im going to need to see the boss, err usagi soon."
[17:19] <Reis> "... Think she recognized him and went looking?"
[17:20] <Sheena> "And ill see about contacting celeste"
[17:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You mean, when she was in your head, Reis?"
[17:21] * Sheena looks around a bit at all the techs and troops still around.
[17:21] <Sheena> "So..."
[17:21] <Mani> "Ok. We didn't hold a wake or funeral for you, since we thought you might be coming back."
[17:21] * Sheena shurgs
[17:21] <Sheena> 'Not like a lot of people would have noticed mani"
[17:21] <Mani> "Oh, at least a handful besides us."
[17:22] * Sheena shakes her head
[17:22] <Sheena> "Not really, no'
[17:22] <Mani> "Renee would have been upset."
[17:22] * Reis nods. "Yeah... Just a thought at least..."
[17:22] <Kuonji> "What about Gerand and Amiko... Wait, forget I said anything."
[17:23] <Reis> (Wait, didn't you not meet Amiko?)
[17:23] <Alathon> Yuuno, frowning: "Amiko wasn't that bad.. she was just."
[17:23] <Mani> (He never served with her.)
[17:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.. undiplomatic."
[17:23] <Mani> "Amiko wasn't bad. Just ... more suited for the marines."
[17:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Gerand can go die in a fire."
[17:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Forget gerand!"
[17:23] <Sheena> "How is renee any way, I never got to stop by again before we got active again"
[17:23] <Alathon> Venus: "She's... gotten better."
[17:24] * Sheena smiles at that
[17:24] <Alathon> Venus: "She's currently stationed a bit back from the front in the AFS, doing healing work."
[17:24] <Sheena> "Good to hear she's active again"
[17:24] <Alathon> Venus: "She wasn't willing to accept anything that didn't have an 'immediate impact'."
[17:25] * Sheena hmm to herself
[17:25] <Alathon> Venus doesn't sound as happy about this as you'd expect.
[17:25] <Sheena> "Any one mind calling the boss? and saying ill need to talk to her in privet some time soonish."
[17:26] <Sheena> "I kinda dont have any gear with me.. ahh fuck! My cloak got vaped didnt it"
[17:26] <Mani> "How soon? Sakura just had her on the comm."
[17:26] <Sheena> "Soon soon? when ever is good. It's rather important"
[17:26] <Reis> "Uh... yeah. Very vaped."
[17:27] * Sheena looks over at venus again
[17:27] <Sheena> "So do i get a pass or do you want to know where yuuno hides her echhi manga'
[17:27] * Reis chokes and just covers her face with her hands.
[17:29] <Sheena> "I guess you could com Mecury.. and ask her how that vid i sent is"
[17:29] <Sheena> "Oh right! Reis got a copy to"
[17:29] <Mani> "Well, she said we had some time to ourselves. If you want to set up a time, we can call her back now."
[17:29] <Alathon> Venus: "Where does Yuuno hide his girly mags?"
[17:29] * Sheena spins to look at reis
[17:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "H-hey!"
[17:29] <Reis> "... No, I didn't request that, no."
[17:29] <Sheena> (you so did)
[17:30] <Reis> (Nope, I didn't.)
[17:30] <Sheena> (was it sakura?)
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Three's Company isn't ecchi, it's.. intense!"
[17:30] <Reis> (Might've been. Mercury and Yuuno got it, at least)
[17:30] <Sheena> (oh right yuuno, mybad)
[17:30] * Reis flushes. "Um..."
[17:31] <Sheena> "Intense works rather well"
[17:31] <Kuonji> "Right, and that's why the pages are sticky, right Yuuno?"
[17:31] <Mani> "Here's a question you'll like. What of Sakura's were you playing with in the shower in Carson City?"
[17:31] <Mani> "If we're still playing the question game."
[17:31] * Reis ... blinks.
[17:31] <Kuonji> "Don't answer that."
[17:32] * Sheena grins
[17:32] * Reis is VERY red-faced at this point.
[17:32] <Sheena> "Why not sakura?"
[17:32] <Mani> "And, by the way, this game seems a lot more serious when you're playing it alone with Saturn on a desolate spot on the China coastline."
[17:32] <Sheena> "It's just so huge"
[17:32] <Alathon> Venus sobers up.
[17:32] <Alathon> Venus, to Mani: "Yeah, I can see that."
[17:33] <Sheena> " The way you just pull it out even tho im in the bathroom with you"
[17:33] <Sheena> "I must say its impressise"
[17:33] * Mani grins at Sheena.
[17:33] <Sheena> "You should show reis some time"
[17:33] * Reis stares. "..."
[17:33] <Mani> "That's definitely her."
[17:33] <Sheena> "hmm.. or yuuno to.. with her small soft hands"
[17:33] <Alathon> Yuuno looks confused for a moment.. then gets a light in her eyes.
[17:34] <Sheena> "Would probly take her both to hold it'"
[17:34] <Rockman_Zero> (I know it's not dirty, but god.. it does not stop the mental imagery. -.-)
[17:34] * Reis half-chokes.
[17:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Do tell, Sheena.."
[17:34] <Sheena> "Reis could probly handle it solo, she's got a soil grip from useing swordbreaker"
[17:35] <Sheena> "Could just jerk it around all by herself, would make a mess tho"
[17:35] * Reis falls into a nearby chair. "..."
[17:35] <Alathon> Venus leans back against a wall, trying and failing to stifle laughter.
[17:35] <Kuonji> "Stop before you give her an anyeurism."
[17:35] <Reis> "... Hair. You're talking about Sakura-san's hair."
[17:35] * Reis breathes.
[17:35] <Sheena> "Hair? close but no"
[17:36] <Kuonji> "Well, there's some hair involved."
[17:36] * Sheena grins
[17:36] <Reis> "..."
[17:36] <Sheena> "Hey wasn't venus with us then? Not sure if sakura whiped it out for her or not"
[17:36] <Alathon> Venus is practically crying laughing now.
[17:37] <Sheena> "He should have tho, It's something he needs to share with all the ladies."
[17:37] <Kuonji> "Jeez, you make it sound like I have no control over it."
[17:37] * Reis is... her blush is extending to her neck now.
[17:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Oh, c'mon, enough innuendo, just spit it out."
[17:37] * Sheena floats over like she's going to tug at sakura cloths
[17:38] <Sheena> "You heard yuuno, pull it out for reis"
[17:38] <Alathon> Yuuno is flushed a little, and her ears are quivering.
[17:38] <Sheena> "Show thoes shoilders over there whats up"
[17:38] * Reis chokes and covers her face. (And eyes)
[17:39] <Kuonji> "I get self concious in front of guys."
[17:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What guys?"
[17:40] <Mani> "The marines."
[17:40] <Alathon> Yuuno cups her hands under her breasts and gives them a shake.
[17:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Them? they're over there."
[17:40] <Alathon> Yuuno rolls her eyes."
[17:40] * Reis ... squeaks.
[17:40] <Mani> "Who you're currently giving a show."
[17:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "and you're over here."
[17:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So don't wuss out."
[17:40] <Sheena> "Ya ya, be a man and pull it out'
[17:41] <Kuonji> "Well, if you really wanna see it..."
[17:41] * Kuonji starts to reach into his pants
[17:41] * Reis has her face firmly covered.
[17:41] * Kuonji stops
[17:41] <Kuonji> "Oh come on, she's not even looking."
[17:41] <Alathon> Yuuno walks over to Reis, and grasps Reis' wrists.
[17:41] <Sheena> "Ya, you might have to stick it right in her face"
[17:42] <Sheena> "Some girls need a nudge"
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno tries to gently pull them back -- does Reis resist?
[17:42] <Kuonji> (oh jesus, this is quickly becoming so very wrong)
[17:42] <Reis> (Not that hard, no.)
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno will pull, then pull harder, pulling reis' hands back behind her head.
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno leans over Reis' shoulder, and whispers into her ear.
[17:43] <Mani> (But she doesn't appear to be forcibly pulling Reis's hands away, right?)
[17:43] <Alathon> Not like yanking them
[17:43] <Reis> "... I'm not entirely sure about that, Yuuno..."
[17:43] <Sheena> (well mani did want profe its sheena..)
[17:44] * Kuonji reaches into his pants... and pulls out an industrial size bottle of shampoo
[17:44] * Reis blinks.
[17:44] <Reis> "..."
[17:44] <Kuonji> "You realize we can no longer use this gag now, right?"
[17:44] <Alathon> Venus doesn't appear to care, she's chuckling to herself, eyes closed.
[17:44] <Reis> "..."
[17:44] <Sheena> "We havnt done it to usagi yet, im sure will get a chance sooner or later"
[17:45] <Reis> "... It is impressive."
[17:45] <Alathon> Venus: "....he...heheh..... do it, please... heh.."
[17:45] <Reis> "... Do you regenerate, Sheena-san?"
[17:45] * Sheena blinks
[17:45] * Kuonji chuckles
[17:45] <Kuonji> "Heh, the boss?"
[17:45] * Kuonji starts laughing harder
[17:45] <Mani> (Sheena: "Yes. Why?" Reis blows a hole in Sheena.)
[17:45] * Reis is slowly getting less red-faced.
[17:46] <Sheena> "Umm.. now reis, it's just a little joke'
[17:46] <Mani> "You know, if you're made of energy now, we probably should find out if healing spells work on you..."
[17:46] * Reis smiles pleasantly, nodding. "I finished working on an alternate cartridge system. Want to help me test it out?"
[17:47] * Sheena thinks on that..
[17:47] * Sheena then starts feeling around herself
[17:47] <Alathon> You're floating in the air.
[17:47] <Reis> (Not in public, Sheena)
[17:47] <Sheena> "I knew i forget something.. err i dont think i have a place for them.. uhoh"
[17:47] <Alathon> There's a bench a bit behind you, that was storing dark heart.
[17:48] <Mani> "Let me say for the record that I do not want to see you loading cartridges in any of the possible places I can currently see."
[17:48] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If you end up inserting cartridges into yourself that way, I am going to smack you, Sheena."
[17:48] * Reis ... flushes again, and just collapses in the chair.
[17:48] <Reis> (Is Yuuno still holding her hands behind her?)
[17:49] <Alathon> Yuuno will let go when you sit down.
[17:49] <Sheena> "Ehhhh? You perverts! huh.. i wonder"
[17:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Don't wonder!"
[17:49] * Mani looks at Venus.
[17:49] <Sheena> "Ok!"
[17:49] <Mani> "What more proof do you need?"
[17:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "When you start wondering, bad things happen!"
[17:49] <Alathon> Venus cracks one eye open.
[17:49] <Mani> (rhetorically)
[17:49] <Reis> (Well, I was already sitting down, I was there before)
[17:49] <Alathon> Venus: "Okay.. she passes."
[17:49] <Alathon> Venus: "I was going to try something else, but this is enough>"
[17:50] * Reis sweatdrops. "... What more did you NEED, ma'am?"
[17:50] <Sheena> "Shesh, should i start banging celeste on the table next?"
[17:50] <Alathon> Venus: "Close, but no cigar."
[17:50] <Kuonji> "...yes... I mean NO!."
[17:50] * Kuonji looks around shiftily
[17:50] <Alathon> Venus stands up.
[17:50] <Reis> "... Do you even have the... no, never mind."
[17:51] <Mani> "I'm sure about Sheena, but now I'm wondering about Venus..."
[17:51] <Alathon> Venus: "I'll schedule some time for youma education day after tomorrow."
[17:51] <Alathon> Venus: "That work?"
[17:51] <Mani> "Yes, thank you."
[17:51] <Sheena> "im game"
[17:51] <Sheena> "I think.."
[17:51] <Sheena> "Do we have fireprofe seats?"
[17:51] <Alathon> Venus: "Good.. Speaking of education."
[17:51] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um..."
[17:51] <Alathon> Venus pauses, then replies.
[17:51] <Alathon> Venus: "Not as far as I know."
[17:52] <Alathon> Venus: "You might want to stick to the stuff that looks like it's made of metal."
[17:53] <Mani> (No response to wondering if Venus is an imposter. Probably for the best... :) )
[17:53] <Alathon> (heh)
[17:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "We should get our place redone in armorcloth, shouldn't we.."
[17:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Er, your place."
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno then looks over at mani and Kuonji.
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um."
[17:54] * Sheena shurgs
[17:54] * Mani raises an eyebrow at Yuuno.
[17:54] <Sheena> "I guess you can have my room yuuno"
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I've been crashing there a lot.. I should really pitch in, shouldn't I?"
[17:54] * Kuonji shrugs
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Now that I've got a paycheck coming."
[17:54] <Sheena> "I got most of my stuff at celeste aparment"
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno looks surprised.. and not entirely happy.
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "you're moving out?"
[17:55] <Kuonji> "I dunno, it's still kind of hard seeing you as something other then team mascott."
[17:55] <Sheena> "Well not totaly"
[17:55] * Sheena points to her smokeing feet
[17:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hah hah, very funny."
[17:55] <Sheena> "But considering my little problem now, i can't relaly sleep there"
[17:55] <Alathon> Yuuno flips Kuonji the bird.
[17:55] <Alathon> Venus: "I'll take my leave, if there's nothing else.."
[17:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Where WILL you sleep?"
[17:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "In the lab?"
[17:56] * Sheena waves to venus
[17:56] <Mani> "Well, the water bed's out."
[17:56] <Sheena> "Err.. Not sure yet"
[17:56] <Sheena> "Worse comes to worse ill park myself in the air some place"
[17:56] <Mani> "I don't think there is. Thanks for coming out, and we'll see you in a couple of days."
[17:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... can you fly in your sleep?"
[17:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You weren't before you woke up."
[17:57] <Alathon> Venus nods.
[17:57] <Alathon> Venus: "Not a problem.. see you then."
[17:57] <Sheena> "I was in a box before i woke up!"
[17:57] <Sheena> "what was with that any way"
[17:57] <Alathon> Venus will walk out of the lab, rather than teleporting.
[17:57] <Alathon> (er, training center slash lab)
[17:57] <Mani> "Hey, from out here, all we saw was a pulsing, silent Dark Heart."
[17:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You didn't exist, it was just Dark Heart.. and it was, like, pulsing, and all this shit."
[17:57] <Mani> "Where should we have put it? On a velvet cushion?"
[17:58] <Sheena> "I am dark heart! err.. well you know"
[17:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "She wouldn't even talk to us, either.:"
[17:58] <Sheena> "Well sorry.. i was sorta bisy"
[17:58] <Mani> "That's what we figured."
[17:59] <Sheena> "That soul cage wasn't designed to keep friends hanging around, it was short term and made for..."
[17:59] * Sheena looks at yuuno
[17:59] <Sheena> "well, you know"
[17:59] * Reis winces slightly.
[17:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "....right."
[18:00] * Sheena (~PyroRaven@c-71-228-41-86.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[18:00] * DCG (~PyroRaven@c-71-228-41-86.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[18:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Speaking of which.. y ou said there was something else you wanted to discuss, in private."
[18:00] <Alathon> (last line?)
[18:00] <DCG> [19:58] <Mani> "That's what we figured."
[18:00] <DCG> [19:59] <Sheena> "That soul cage wasn't designed to keep friends hanging around, it was short term and made for..."
[18:00] <DCG> [19:59] * Sheena looks at yuuno
[18:00] <DCG> [19:59] <Sheena> "well, you know"
[18:01] <Mani> (Put your youma costume back on. :) )
[18:01] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[18:01] <Alathon> PM'd
[18:01] <Sheena> "Ya.. we got some stuff to cover.'
[18:02] <Sheena> "But i really need to talk to the boss first, and celeste..
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.. I 'm really friggin curious."
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".."
[18:02] <Sheena> "Don't worrie yuuno"
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Celeste.. I dunno."
[18:02] <Sheena> "You'll be there"
[18:02] <Mani> "I'll call up Usagi so you can schedule a meeting."
[18:02] * Sheena nods
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Okay."
[18:02] * Mani calls Usagi.
[18:02] <Sheena> "And let me see about my end"
[18:02] * Sheena closes her eyes and seems to focus on something.
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I mean.. I just wanted to let you know, Celeste was really pissed. I mean, like.. furious. And she had some words with usagi, and.."
[18:03] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm just saying, she was.. really distraught."
[18:03] <Reis> "Yeah..."
[18:03] * Sheena frown at hearing that but keeps working at something
[18:04] * Sheena opens her eyes clearly upset
[18:04] <Sheena> "Reis can you call her and leave a message for me?"
[18:04] <Sheena> "Im not sure flying into town would go over good like this
[18:05] * Reis frowns, nodding. "Right..."
[18:05] * Reis pulls out her communicator and tries to remember Celeste's number.
[18:05] * Reis calls her.
[18:05] <Alathon> She doesn't answer.. you get the video-mail
[18:06] <Alathon> Celeste: "I appologize, but I am not available at present. Please leave a recording, and I will observe it at such time as I return."
[18:06] <Kuonji> (she's screening our calls)
[18:06] <Mani> (Or she's decided she has no reason to stay around CT.)
[18:06] <Alathon> (heh, you know you're fucked when the screening kicks in)
[18:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hold it up for Sheena to say something?"
[18:07] * Sheena floats over
[18:07] <Alathon> *beep*
[18:07] * Reis sighs. "... Celeste, this is Reis, from Sheena's team... Um... I know-Much better idea, Yuuno." She holds it over to Sheena.
[18:09] <Sheena> "Celeste i err.. will im back mostly. But i have a slight probly controlling my engery and im setting stuff on fire so i had reis call. Can you call any of my team as soon as you get this? I can't reach you and thats making me worried"
[18:09] <Alathon> *beep*
[18:09] <Alathon> the recording finishes.
[18:11] <Mani> (Did I reach Usagi/schedule an appointment for Sheena?)
[18:11] <Sheena> "This sucks, i can do much setting shit on fire.
[18:11] <Alathon> (gah, missed it if you were)
[18:11] <Alathon> Yeah, you'll succeed
[18:11] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.."
[18:11] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.. think she knows any fireproofing spells?"
[18:12] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That could help>"
[18:12] <Mani> "Hopefully, it's only a temporary thing, like my problem with changing when I came back."
[18:12] * Mani frowns.
[18:12] <Mani> "That did last a while, though..."
[18:13] * Reis purses her lips. "You think armourcloth might keep Sheena's fire inside?"
[18:13] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well, it does resist heat.."
[18:13] <Kuonji> "Asbestos?"
[18:13] <Alathon> Yuuno: "but if it DID melt onto her, that'd be pretty awful."
[18:14] <Alathon> Yuuno frowns.
[18:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That causes cancer."
[18:14] * Sheena shurgs
[18:14] <Mani> "Mm... the heat seemed a bit strong for armorcloth. At least for a standard layer of it."
[18:14] <Sheena> "I dont mind hanging free"
[18:14] <Kuonji> what about a chainmail bikini?
[18:14] <Kuonji> ""
[18:14] <Sheena> "Seems being mostly engery now makes me quite perky"
[18:14] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Kuonji.
[18:14] * Sheena does a little bouncy in the air.
[18:14] * Mani yawns.
[18:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".... the metal would heat up,a nd she'd get her nether bits burnt."
[18:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "
[18:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "bad idea."
[18:15] <Reis> "... Unless she's immune to her own fire?"
[18:15] * Sheena shakes her head
[18:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It didn't look that way when she melted teh carpet... Sheena?"
[18:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "or maybe.."
[18:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Her own heat doesn't hurt her, but other stuff it heats up does."
[18:15] <Mani> "It's possible."
[18:15] <Sheena> "Well im not hurting now, but the rug melting burt my feet"
[18:16] * Reis frowns. "Right..."
[18:16] <Mani> "That's probably it, then. Hey, Reis, aim a sensor at her and see if she's hot or just ignites things she touches."
[18:16] <Kuonji> "Hey mani, how well does your crystal conduct heat?"
[18:16] * Reis does so.
[18:17] <Mani> "Mm, it varies. I can't make clothing out of it, though."
[18:17] * Mani pouts.
[18:20] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.."
[18:20] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I guess we've got something to work on this evening, don't we."
[18:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Fireproof clothes, shelter.. the works."
[18:21] * Sheena shurgs
[18:21] <Sheena> "Im not to worried"
[18:21] <Mani> "Um... do you still eat? If you do, that could be a problem."
[18:21] * Sheena blinks at that..
[18:21] * Reis chuckles. "Well... finish one task and another comes right away, that's normal."
[18:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... what would you eat?"
[18:21] <Sheena> "Im not sure"
[18:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Cartridges?"
[18:21] <Mani> (Ok, now she's worried. :) )
[18:21] <Alathon> Talia: "...."
[18:21] <Alathon> talia: "Um..."
[18:21] <Kuonji> "Delicious, delicious life force?"
[18:22] <Alathon> Talia: "She doesn't have a digestive tract."
[18:22] * Mani frowns.
[18:22] <Alathon> Yuuno shoots Kuonji a dirty look.
[18:22] <Mani> "Stop that, Sakura."
[18:22] <Alathon> (bah, it IS funny ;p )
[18:22] <Sheena> "yes stop that sakura,cides souls are meater and last longer"
[18:22] * Reis ... sweatdrops.
[18:22] <Sheena> "err.. never mind how i know that"
[18:22] <Reis> "..."
[18:23] <Alathon> talia: "Sheena, would you be willing to put up with a .. er, physical?"
[18:23] <Alathon> Talia: "It wouldn't really be very physical, just.. lots of scans."
[18:23] <Sheena> "Sure"
[18:23] <Mani> "Did you find out about the heat, Reis?"
[18:24] <Reis> (I don't know, GM, did I?)
[18:24] <Sheena> ""I wont midn at all, the boss would probly want it done any way"
[18:24] <Alathon> Talia: "Thanks.. I must admit, I'm rather curious."
[18:24] <Reis> (I checked)
[18:24] <Sheena> "Better us then mecurys girls any way.."
[18:24] <Alathon> (hym?)
[18:24] <Sheena> "Their scary"
[18:25] <Mani> "You know... now that Sheena's back..."
[18:25] <Mani> "It's no longer unseemly to mourn the loss of the cloak."
[18:25] * Mani bows her head and gives a moment of silence.
[18:25] * Reis snerks, and then calmly prays for the poor, poor cloak.
[18:26] * Sheena frowns
[18:26] <Sheena> "I like that cloak to.."
[18:26] <Reis> "And, Mani, the body temperature is Sheena-san's, she doesn't just ignite things."
[18:26] <Sheena> "But with this hair i can't keep that old stile"
[18:26] <Mani> "You're saying she's physically hot enough to set things on fire?"
[18:27] * Sheena is sitting in the air, with her hair trailing down a couple more feet behind her"
[18:27] <Reis> "Yeah."
[18:27] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Apparently her hair is made of sterner stuff than normal hair."
[18:27] <Mani> "That makes two in this group."
[18:27] <Reis> "... Indeed."
[18:28] * Mani looks at Sheena.
[18:28] <Mani> "So, you're both Sheena and Dark Heart now?"
[18:28] * Sheena archs her back a bit, and shows the dark heart gem.
[18:28] <Sheena> "Yep"
[18:29] <Mani> "Well, if you ever wanted a second name, you have a great reason now."
[18:29] * Sheena gets quite and looks off at somethign else when thats said
[18:29] <Alathon> Yuuno snickers.
[18:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Sheena Dark?"
[18:30] <Sheena> "No need... I found that out"
[18:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Huh?"
[18:30] <Sheena> "I just may take sheena dark.."
[18:30] * Reis blinks. "... Eh?"
[18:30] * Sheena shakes the emo off.
[18:31] <Kuonji> "Spill."
[18:31] <Sheena> "Nothing, Just something i have to take up with the boss later"
[18:31] * Mani looks thoughtful for a moment.
[18:31] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... what, it's just a name, right?"
[18:32] <Sheena> "If your really that interested go use your clerance and pull up my files from the birth record to the queens house for children, compair it to others.."
[18:32] <Mani> (We have clearance for that sort of thing?)
[18:32] <Kuonji> "Or you could, you know, just tell us."
[18:33] <Sheena> (we l33t, we have quite a bit of clerance, i would think mani more so)
[18:33] <Sheena> "Later sakura, i have to check things first.'
[18:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "...seriously?"
[18:33] * Sheena nods
[18:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I mean, I only know you from.. you know.. your childhood."
[18:34] <Sheena> "well.."
[18:34] * Reis blinks, frowning.
[18:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Not from birth."
[18:34] <Sheena> "Out of ever thing nanoha is yuuno, is she a lier?"
[18:34] <Alathon> Yuuno is immediately taken aback.
[18:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What do you mean?"
[18:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You mean, the Nanoha I knew?"
[18:34] <Sheena> "Its a simple question, "
[18:35] * Sheena nods
[18:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... no."
[18:36] * Sheena sighs and lays back in the air
[18:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I never knew her to be dishonest or deceptive, in any matter."
[18:36] <Sheena> "Things would have been easyer if you said yes"
[18:36] <Alathon> Yuuno:" But that was a thousand years ago."
[18:36] <Alathon> Yuuno, a little agitated: "What'd she tell you?"
[18:36] <Alathon> Yuuno, sarcastically: "Are you the real heir to the throne of Crystal Tokyo, or some shit?"
[18:37] <Sheena> "I'll tell you ever thing later when we're talking to the boss, "
[18:37] <Kuonji> "no yuuno, that's me, remember?"
[18:37] * Sheena snorts at yuuno's line
[18:38] <Rockman_Zero> (later all.)
[18:38] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-56-163.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (Quit: Want to be different? HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-)
[18:38] * Reis chuckles.
[18:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "...."
[18:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Later, right."
[18:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I look forward to it."
[18:39] <Alathon> End here.
[18:39] <Sheena> "Sorry yuuno, im still thinking on a lot of itmyself"
[18:39] <Sheena> Doh
[18:39] <Alathon> (eh, it's included)
[18:39] <Sheena> on one hand.. i got steaks to cook.. on the other i was really enjoying this session.
[18:40] <Mani> Put those things down, DCG.
[18:40] <Reis> Heh.
[18:40] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[18:40] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[18:40] * Sheena is now known as DCG
[18:40] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[18:40] <DCG> i think we're a little to good at the shampoo bit.
[18:40] <DCG> that just flows
[18:40] <Pale_Wolf> Even _I_ wasn't quite sure what you were talking about, so it helped.
[18:41] <Yarrow> I had a good line, but it was out of character for Mani to join in.
[18:41] <Pale_Wolf> Oh?
[18:42] <Yarrow> "Just be sure to clean up afterwards. I took a shower after you and slipped and nearly killed myself."
[18:42] <DCG> Hah!
[18:42] <Pale_Wolf> Heheh.
[18:42] <Pale_Wolf> Reis ALMOST managed to save herself.
[18:43] <Yarrow> Oh, does everyone know why I thought Venus was an imposter?
[18:43] <Ataru> why?
[18:43] <Pale_Wolf> Hm?
[18:43] <Yarrow> She said, "Close, but no cigar."
[18:43] <Ataru> ah
[18:43] <Ataru> hmmm
[18:43] <Ataru> she might be
[18:43] <Pale_Wolf> Ahhh. She got a saying right? Unnatural.
[18:43] <Alathon> (she got it right ;p )
[18:43] <Pale_Wolf> 'Close, but no tequila' would be more IC.
[18:44] <Alathon> after a thousand years, she can't get them all wrong
[18:44] <Alathon> I thought about close, but no cigarette
[18:44] <Pale_Wolf> Close, but no hand grenade?
[18:44] <Alathon> but it would have been overplaying it
[18:44] <Yarrow> Why not? She should have perfected the technique by now. :)
[18:44] <DCG> poor usagi
[18:44] <DCG> she's in for it
[18:44] <Ataru> heh
[18:45] <Yarrow> Aw, but won't she be happy to have her loving sister back?
[18:45] <DCG> eh?
[18:46] <Yarrow> Obviously, Sheena is really her sister.
[18:46] <DCG> no comment
[18:46] <Ataru> no, sakura's her brother... or son
[18:46] <Pale_Wolf> And Sakura's her brother... oya. Half the damn party is from the royal family.
[18:46] <DCG> tho.. what she do? Get hit with all the familes missing boob dna?
[18:46] <Ataru> or both... she always did have that thing for mamoru
[18:46] <Pale_Wolf> ... And another quarter is from the royal advisor family.
[18:47] * DCG coughs
[18:47] <Pale_Wolf> ... Oya. Reis is like the only one who's NOT a noble or the like.
[18:47] <DCG> " Nothing may interfere with the boobie display! Shoulders back, chin up! DISMISSED!"
[18:48] <Pale_Wolf> ... This would be a fairly good time for Alathon to laugh in the background.
[18:48] <Alathon> "kwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!"
[18:48] <Ataru> I'm more concerned with yuuno's reaction to a joke about the old ones
[18:48] <Ataru> AL's been drinking again
[18:48] <Pale_Wolf> Yeah, there we go, thanks Ala.
[18:49] <Alathon> absolutely I was
[18:49] <Alathon> one full goblet of port, and about 2/3 of a jug of cream sherry
[18:49] <Alathon> in fact
[18:49] <Pale_Wolf> ... Well, she IS German (Austrian, so Germanic at least)... Oh dear, only one German noble family that comes to mind. Unless you mix in King of Fighters.
[18:49] <Alathon> I think it's about time to refill my glass
[18:49] * Pale_Wolf sweatdrops.
[18:50] <Alathon> and turn the grill on.. got a nice steak marinated and ready to go
[18:50] <Pale_Wolf> Heh, sounds nice.
[18:50] <Alathon> Krauser ;p
[18:50] <DCG> i got steaks to!
[18:50] <Yarrow> Fun. How about a side of xp with that? :)
[18:50] <Pale_Wolf> ... So wait, Reis is either Krauser or Sankt Kaiser? O_o

Session 75

[13:29] <Alathon> alright
[13:29] <Alathon> lets get started
[13:30] <Yarrow> Unless Ataru's missing now...
[13:30] * DCG-sick is now known as Sheena
[13:30] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[13:30] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[13:30] <Alathon> We left off last week after Sheena's miraculous recovery.. as a youma
[13:31] <Alathon> She hasn't really spilled the beans on what all happened
[13:31] <Alathon> Despite prodding from Yuuno and the rest of the party.
[13:31] <Mani> (The 2nd degree burns put a stop to the prodding.)
[13:31] <Alathon> indeed they did
[13:32] <Alathon> Venus seems to be content that Sheena really is Sheena, and has put off the Youma briefing, to allow time for Sheena and the team to do their stuff
[13:32] <Alathon> which brings us to the present
[13:33] <Sheena> (not a youma damn it!)
[13:33] <Alathon> (Venus: "if it walks like a rose, and smells like a rose.."
[13:33] <Mani> (And figure out some interesting demonstrations she can do using Sheena.)
[13:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So.. you said you were gonna spill."
[13:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Do we have to wait until some meeting with Usagi, or...?"
[13:35] <Mani> (Wasn't she going to talk to Usagi first?)
[13:36] <Sheena> "We probly should, why what do you want to know?"
[13:36] <Alathon> (I wasn't really clear)
[13:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Uh.. everything?"
[13:37] <Alathon> Yuuno is still a little shaken, but seems to have gotten her voice back at least.
[13:37] <Sheena> "Well when can we get in to see the boss?"
[13:37] <Sheena> (did we ever get a time to go by?)
[13:37] * Mani made an appointment for Sheena with Usagi 'sometime soon'.
[13:39] <Alathon> Usagi can, in fact make time, real soon now ;p
[13:40] <Alathon> Yuuno, irritated: "She'd better be able to make time for people coming back from the dead."
[13:40] <Alathon> Reis, curious: "..were you actually dead, Sheena?"
[13:40] <Alathon> Reis then looks a little nervous.
[13:40] * Sheena shurgs doing odd things with her big main of hair.
[13:40] <Alathon> Reis: "If you're comfortable talking about it, I mean."
[13:40] <Sheena> "Well, what happened on your end?"
[13:41] <Alathon> Reis looks away as your 'shrug' sets your ample bosom bouncing.
[13:41] <Sheena> "I kinda woke up in a viod, was a while before i learned that dark heart had me."
[13:41] <Alathon> Reis, still looking away a little, "After you were.. taken down.. I grabbed Dark Heart, and we all fled the building.. it was coming donw.."
[13:42] <Alathon> She adds the last part with a vague sense that it's supposed to justify their leaving.
[13:42] <Mani> "So, Dark Heart drew your 'soul' into itself to protect it?"
[13:42] * Sheena nods
[13:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "..."
[13:42] * Mani smiles slightly.
[13:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I never knew it had that sort of power.."
[13:44] <Sheena> "Well dark hearts all ways had a major connection to me, So once my old body.. well failed i guess. She just pulled my core's in"
[13:44] * Sheena looks over at an interesting wall when yuuno says that..
[13:44] <Sheena> "Errr ya.. Seems there's some hidden systems"
[13:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".."
[13:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Or new."
[13:45] <Alathon> Yuuno shakes her head a little.
[13:45] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Never mind.. I'll start my prying later."
[13:45] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. after all, we should probably be celebrating or something, not pestering you."
[13:45] <Alathon> She tries to make the last line a bit lighthearted.
[13:45] <Mani> "What, we can't do both?"
[13:45] * Mani grins.
[13:45] <Alathon> Oddly, Reis seems to flush a little when Yuuno mentions 'celebrating'.
[13:46] <Sheena> "Hey im all up for a party, but i won't be much fun unthill i can correct this bodies output"
[13:46] <Mani> (That's not too odd for Reis. :) )
[13:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "..oh. Good point."
[13:46] <Alathon> Reis: "I suppose the typical wooden restaurant chair, or fabric booth, is pretty much right out."
[13:47] <Alathon> Reis looks over at Mani.
[13:47] <Mani> "And if you don't eat regular food any more..."
[13:47] <Alathon> Reis: "Do you think you could make a chair out of crystal? or is it too big?"
[13:48] <Mani> (Don't make me ask you questions you just asked me, Alathon... Just let me know the answer, please.)
[13:49] * Sheena looks a bit puzzled
[13:49] <Kuonji> (lol)
[13:49] <Alathon> (heh)
[13:49] <Alathon> (the answer is, you could, but it'd have to be made of interlocking parts
[13:49] <Sheena> "Not sure what i need to eat.."
[13:49] <Alathon> (lego style)
[13:50] <Mani> (Ok. I figured I'd be able to do that if I couldn't make it in one piece.)
[13:50] <Alathon> (or maybe Shaker style ;p )
[13:50] <Mani> "Sure. I'll just make it in interlocking parts."
[13:50] <Alathon> Reis looks a little startled, then impressed.
[13:51] <Alathon> Reis: "With a little design work, you could have a durable, assembleable furniture.."
[13:51] <Alathon> Reis: "That breaks down to a fraction of it's usual volume."
[13:51] <Mani> "Open my own store."
[13:51] * Mani grins.
[13:51] <Alathon> Yuuno grins.
[13:51] <Mani> (I'll call it Ikea.)
[13:51] <Alathon> Reis: "Well, why not?"
[13:51] * Mani gives a half shrug.
[13:51] <Mani> "I have more important things to do."
[13:51] * Sheena is just hanging around "sitting" in the air
[13:51] <Alathon> (heh, I've been looking at a table from them)
[13:52] <Mani> "So, want a seat, Sheena, or would you rather float for now?"
[13:52] <Alathon> (trying to decide if I really need a nicer table for my dining room)
[13:52] <Mani> (Go with cinder blocks.)
[13:53] <Alathon> (eh, I'm already the next step up: folding table ;p )
[13:53] <Alathon> (my policy has been, I'm not spending on furniture until I own a house)
[13:53] <Alathon> (but I'm kinda railing against that now)
[13:53] <Mani> (A piece of fiber board over your still-packed moving cartons. :) )
[13:53] <Mani> (Sheena?)
[13:54] <Alathon> (kuonji, too?)
[13:54] <Alathon> (you don't need to lurk ;p )
[13:54] <Alathon> (this is a momentous occasion after all, and your burns are regenerated by now ;p )
[13:54] <Sheena> "Im fine for now, it's not like we're going to stay out here long... are we?"
[13:54] <Mani> (He's a ninja. It's his job.)
[13:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.. I think we're free to go wherever."
[13:54] <Mani> (Usagi coming out here or is Sheena supposed to meet her somewhere?)
[13:54] <Sheena> "I really want to check at celestes place, and where are we meeting the boss?"
[13:54] <Alathon> Yuuno checks her hcomm.
[13:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "looks like the meeting is in one of the usual conference rooms.."
[13:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.. I wonder if Usagi took your current, um, state, into account."
[13:55] <Sheena> "Probly not"
[13:55] <Mani> "Probably best if we teleport there, rather than taking public transportation or buzzing terrified citizens..."
[13:55] <Sheena> "awww"
[13:56] <Alathon> Reis nods.
[13:56] <Alathon> Reis looks over at Kuonji.
[13:56] <Alathon> Reis: "Do you have a thermos handy, or should I go get a glass?"
[13:56] <Mani> (And drags him kicking and screaming into the game.)
[13:58] <Mani> "How do you feel, physically, Sheena?"
[14:00] <Mani> (Hello? Any other players here? Not worth staying around if I'm just chatting with the DM, you know.)
[14:00] <Sheena> "Like i merged with dark heart and we reformed a body out of raw power"
[14:01] * Mani looks thoughtful.
[14:01] <Mani> "Can't say I know what that feels like."
[14:01] <Alathon> Reis: "Um.. I don't suppose you could try to relate that in terms we'd have experience with?"
[14:01] * Sheena stands in the air a bit and bands a bit like she doing strechs
[14:01] <Alathon> Reis flushes a little but manages to avoid averting her eyes.
[14:02] <Sheena> "Good thing im still a hotty, huh?"
[14:02] <Mani> (Ah. When all else fails, embarrass Reis.)
[14:02] <Mani> "Burning hot."
[14:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Both literally and figuratively."
[14:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. though I don't know how many modelling contracts you'll be getting with that look."
[14:02] <Sheena> "Cute.. Ill get that fixed sooner or later"
[14:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Purple and black is a little stark."
[14:03] <Alathon> Yuuno: "and magenta, or whatever."
[14:03] <Sheena> "I guess, but it is what my magics like so.."
[14:03] <Sheena> "Cides, Im soild and soft where it counts"
[14:03] * Sheena just hefts her chest to show this
[14:04] * Kuonji passes Reis a thermos
[14:05] <Mani> (I'm waiting for Sheena to break into "U Can't Touch This")
[14:05] <Kuonji> "Of course I have one handy."
[14:05] <Alathon> Reis will unscrew it, and splash Kuonji.
[14:06] <Alathon> Reis does her best to ignore Sheena's posturing.
[14:06] <Alathon> Yuuno just stares appreciatively.
[14:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll take your word for it, I'd just as soon not end up in a burn ward."
[14:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Anyways.. the meeting with Usagi is in a bit less than an hour."
[14:07] <Kuonji> "..."
[14:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So we've got a bit of time if we're teleporting.. but need to get on the move if we'll be taking the normal transport."
[14:08] * Sheena nods
[14:08] <Mani> "No on the normal transportation. One short stop and we'll have a fire."
[14:08] <Sheena> "Can we stop by celesta aparment first? Even if she's not in a the time.."
[14:08] <Kuonji> (so uh, why'd kuonji get spashed? is there somethign I missed in the scroll back?)
[14:09] <Mani> "Of course, if no one has the meeting room as a memorized location, someone will have to go there first by normal means."
[14:09] <Alathon> (plan was for the party to teleport there, which typically involves being airborne along the way)
[14:09] <Alathon> (since Reis does spot teleports of a mile)
[14:09] <Kuonji> (ah)
[14:09] <Mani> (Or Yuuno goes there, teleports back here and then brings us all.)
[14:09] <Kuonji> "Can someone grab my clothes?"
[14:10] <Mani> (He doesn't store them in hairspace?)
[14:10] <Alathon> (he wasn't given a chance to do so ;p )
[14:10] <Alathon> (it's funny how that works with Jusenkyo curses)
[14:10] <Mani> "Sure."
[14:10] * Mani grabs them.
[14:10] <Alathon> Reis: "Er.. Yuuno, if I bring you there, can you..?"
[14:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Sure."
[14:11] <Alathon> Reis walks over to Yuuno, and promply vanishes with her.
[14:11] <Alathon> This leaves just the three of you alone.
[14:11] <Sheena> "I could just fly in.."
[14:12] <Mani> "Mm. I want to keep this mirror... Um, why did Reis splash you, anyway, Sakura?"
[14:12] <Kuonji> "... Good question."
[14:12] <Mani> "How about we get you changed back... Have any more water?"
[14:13] <Kuonji> (is it safe to say I do, DM?)
[14:13] <Mani> "I think you'd panic people, Sheena. We should wait until we've passed word around to at least a few people and managed to get you some clothes before you go flying around town."
[14:14] <Mani> "At very least make sure all the senshi know what you look like now."
[14:14] <Kuonji> (get her some aerogel clothing)
[14:14] <Alathon> roll 1d2
[14:14] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=1 ]{1}
[14:14] <Alathon> (yes, you have some.. or access, or whatever)
[14:14] <Mani> (And if it's cold, Sheena can heat it. :) )
[14:14] <Kuonji> "I have some more water, could you give me a hand Mani?"
[14:14] <Sheena> "Im sure venus has told the others, hmm.. or not. She might find it amusing.'
[14:14] * Mani helps Sakura out with the water.
[14:15] * Kuonji will pull the water out of Mani's hair after instructing her to catch it
[14:15] <Mani> "Or they may be busy our out of communication for the moment."
[14:15] <Alathon> (Venus: "hee hee.. oh my god, Rei will shit a brick when she sees this!")
[14:15] <Mani> (or)
[14:15] <Kuonji> (hah)
[14:15] <Mani> (Venus: "You weren't supposed to atomize her...")
[14:16] <Alathon> (Queen Serenity reflexively uses one of her purge-of-evil attacks.. and purges Sheena from Dark heart )
[14:16] <Mani> (Dark Heart: "I'm free!")
[14:16] <Alathon> Anyways
[14:16] * Mani asks Sakura if he'd store her mirror once he's human and dressed again.
[14:17] <Sheena> (your crit mirror)
[14:17] <Mani> (Yup!)
[14:17] <Kuonji> "Yeah, no problem"
[14:18] <Mani> (Sheena: "Oh, thanks for this beautiful mirror for my birthda...hey, wait a second! I recognize this!")
[14:19] <Sheena> (Sheena: Hmm.. this should fit over the bed nicly)
[14:19] <Mani> (Sheena: "Hmm... this should fit over the trampoline nicely.")
[14:20] <Alathon> Anyways
[14:20] <Alathon> I think we can assume you all manage to make it to Espionage HQ
[14:21] <Alathon> At least, that's where Yuuno teleports you.
[14:21] * Sheena blinks and looks around
[14:21] <Alathon> Right outside it.
[14:21] <Alathon> People area little startled.. but less than you'd expect
[14:21] <Mani> (Reis: "What are you doing human again?" *splash*)
[14:21] <Sheena> (eh.. no stoping at celeests"
[14:21] <Alathon> There's a certain amount of staring going on though.
[14:21] * Sheena waves
[14:21] <Alathon> (You mentioned it, but Yuuno chose to chill at Espionage so he'd have a spot to teleport you to)
[14:22] <Alathon> Most of the people staring wave back.
[14:22] <Alathon> Some of the guys shoot you winks.
[14:22] * Kuonji facepalms
[14:22] <Mani> (Sheena offers to shake hands. :) )
[14:22] <Kuonji> "Maybe we should move inside."
[14:22] <Alathon> Reis: ".. I think we should go inside. remember to fly everywhere, Sheena, and let me open the doors."
[14:22] <Sheena> "Ya ya"
[14:23] <Alathon> She'll procede to do so.
[14:23] <Alathon> Then have to spend a minute or so with the receptionist explaining that this is, in fact, Sheena.
[14:23] <Mani> "Careful in elevators."
[14:23] <Mani> ("She's with us" doesn't cover it?)
[14:23] <Alathon> (it takes a little convincing to make it stick)
[14:24] <Alathon> (she's with us certainly wouldn't cut it without 'she' having access)
[14:24] <Alathon> Anyways.. hm
[14:24] <Mani> (Next week we try to see if we can get a mutacow past the receptionist. ;) )
[14:24] <Alathon> Sheena, gimme a reflex save
[14:24] * Sheena remembers her codes, but sorta lost her pass..
[14:24] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+14
[14:24] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{25}
[14:24] <Alathon> Alright
[14:25] <Alathon> Sheena manages to make it, with the party, to the conference room, without even singing the walls or melting the carpet in the elevator
[14:25] * Sheena does have experince with the flying thingy..
[14:25] <Mani> "Gonna float again for the meeting or want a chair?"
[14:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.. want me to move one of these chairs so you have some space to float?"
[14:25] <Sheena> "Yes and yes?"
[14:26] <Alathon> Usagi arrives right about then.
[14:26] <Sheena> "Would feel nice to releax if only for a bit"
[14:26] <Alathon> She stops for a moment to stare at Sheena.
[14:26] <Mani> "Yes to what, exactly?"
[14:26] * Sheena Has a happy smile but dont glomp usagi
[14:26] <Sheena> "Hey boss!"
[14:26] <Alathon> Usagi looks happy.. then vexed.
[14:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sheena.. cross your legs, please."
[14:27] * Sheena pulls an air lazy boy and crosses her legs
[14:27] <Sheena> "Err sorry?"
[14:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "No problem."
[14:27] <Alathon> She grins
[14:27] <Alathon> Usagi then leaps forward to give you a big midair hug.
[14:27] <Alathon> roll 1d8
[14:27] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d8 --> [ 1d8=5 ]{5}
[14:27] * Sheena gets a bit wide eyes
[14:27] <Sheena> "wait!"
[14:27] <Alathon> (you can dodge if you want, actually)
[14:27] * Sheena would float back
[14:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+21 glomp attack!
[14:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+21 glomp attack! --> [ 1d20=11 ]{32}
[14:28] <Kuonji> (lol)
[14:28] <Alathon> (roll your melee defense ;p )
[14:28] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+25 ..
[14:28] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+25 .. --> [ 1d20=16 ]{41}
[14:28] <Alathon> Usagi falls short, again looked vexed.
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sheena?"
[14:29] <Alathon> She seems.. surprised.
[14:29] <Mani> (Usagi flies into the table and chairs, taking 7 pts of damage. :) )
[14:29] <Kuonji> "Be grateful she moved."
[14:29] * Kuonji eyes his singed clothes
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Kuonji.
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "Huh?"
[14:29] <Mani> "She does set things on fire now..."
[14:29] <Sheena> "Sorry usagi, while i normaly love a good hug. err i got a slight problem"
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi: '....oh."
[14:29] <Mani> "Didn't you catch that over the comm?"
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi immediately looks a little abashed.
[14:29] <Alathon> She then looks over at Mani.
[14:29] * Mani tries to remember if it was mentioned in Usagi's remote hearing.
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "Um.. you mentioned that?"
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "I must have missed it."
[14:30] <Mani> "To be honest, I don't remember exactly."
[14:30] * Sheena runs a hand throught her hair a bit nervious
[14:30] <Sheena> "I seem to be leaking a good bit of engery as heat"
[14:30] <Alathon> Usagi frowns then.
[14:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "Um.. do you know how to replace the energy you're losing?"
[14:31] <Mani> ("And if you don't have to, welcome to your new role as a pylon.")
[14:31] <Sheena> "ehh.. Not yet? All tho im not feeling much of a drain"
[14:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm.. I suppose you'll need to do some tests to determine if you can still.. you know, digest."
[14:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well, if that purple stuff can digest."
[14:32] <Alathon> (She's noticed you opening your mouth ;p )
[14:32] <Sheena> ""Ahh hmm.."
[14:32] * Sheena looks a bit sheepish
[14:32] <Alathon> usagi brightens.
[14:32] <Kuonji> (Sakura: Something other then delicious, delicious life force at least." Mani: Damn it, I told you to stop that.)
[14:32] <Alathon> Usagi, jokingly: "Fortunately, this meeting is catered, so you'll be able to find out in short order."
[14:33] <Sheena> "hey worth a shot"
[14:33] <Alathon> Reis looks over at Mani.
[14:33] <Alathon> Reis: "Are you going to make that chair, or is that something for later?"
[14:34] * Mani looks at Sheena.
[14:34] <Sheena> "Could you mani?"
[14:34] <Mani> "Did you want that chair now? I wasn't sure which questions you were answering."
[14:34] <Mani> "Sure."
[14:34] <Sheena> "Would feel good to relax a bit"
[14:34] <Alathon> (to do it.. a craft roll, and a mechanics roll)
[14:34] <Alathon> (hm
[14:34] <Alathon> (actually no
[14:34] <Alathon> (just, two craft rolls)
[14:35] <Mani> (Doesn't count as a simple task?)
[14:35] <Alathon> (making a bunch of weight-bearing interlocking parts? no)
[14:35] <Mani> (Ok. Would taking 10 succeed?)
[14:36] <Sheena> "I guess there's all kinds of tests to be done later.."
[14:36] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+20
[14:36] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{34}, [ 1d20=13 ]{33}
[14:36] <Alathon> The chair that Mani assembles from an assortment of crystal parts looks pretty sturdy.
[14:37] * Mani puts a sheet of crystal on the floor around it in case Sheena puts her feet down.
[14:37] <Alathon> Usagi, when she notices the sheet: "Good thinking."
[14:37] <Sheena> "THats all ways cool to watch"
[14:38] <Mani> "Tell me how that feels. If it's uncomfortable, I can just redo the seat and back parts."
[14:38] * Sheena floats over tot take a seat
[14:39] <Sheena> "Shoudl be good mani"
[14:39] <Mani> ("Ok. I was wondering if the crystal spikes on the seat would bother you.")
[14:39] <Kuonji> (she's into that shit)
[14:39] * Sheena don't even have to move her mass of hair out of the way, it seems to take its place hanging over the back by its self
[14:39] <Alathon> It bears your weight.. and is reasonably comfortable.
[14:40] <Alathon> No really sharp points in your backside or arms, etc
[14:40] <Alathon> It shifts a little as you sit, but doesn't fall apart or anything.
[14:41] <Sheena> "Sweet, thanks mani'
[14:41] <Alathon> Shortly after Sheena is seated, the catering arrives.
[14:41] <Mani> "No problem."
[14:42] <Alathon> A staff member wheels a cart into the room, starts setting out water classes.
[14:42] <Mani> (Splashes Sakura...)
[14:42] <Alathon> Then loses step as she sees Sheena, eeps, and pours a pitcher of icewater all over Kuonji.
[14:42] <Kuonji> "..."
[14:42] <Alathon> Staff: "Ohmigod.. I'm so... EEEEk!"
[14:43] <Alathon> She drops the pitches when she seens Kuonji melt.
[14:43] <Mani> ("I melted him!" *runs off*)
[14:43] * Sheena giggles to herself a bit
[14:43] <Sheena> "New girl?"
[14:43] <Alathon> She stands there, almost paralyzed.
[14:43] <Alathon> Usagi drops her face into her hands.
[14:43] * Kuonji teleports out of clothes
[14:43] <Kuonji> "That gets really annoying after a while."
[14:43] <Mani> "He's dry clean only."
[14:43] <Sheena> "Oh my.. you melted him!'
[14:44] <Alathon> Usagi eventually peeks out from the hands, and eyes the nametag.
[14:44] * Sheena looks on accusing"
[14:44] <Kuonji> "Yeah yeah, laugh it up."
[14:44] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's Kimberly, right? Chill."
[14:44] <Alathon> Kimberly looks from the clothes, to Kuonji, to Sheena, then to Usagi, then back to Sheena, then to Kuonji...
[14:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.. seriously, don't worry, this is normal."
[14:44] <Mani> "For us."
[14:44] <Alathon> Reis: "For us, at least."
[14:44] * Kuonji considers teleporting behind her and saying "boo"
[14:45] <Sheena> (dump a picture of water on sheena to get an insstant suna)
[14:45] <Alathon> Kimberly looks over at Usagi, and usagi nods.. and Kimberly seems to chill a little.
[14:45] <Alathon> Then she remembers what happened.
[14:45] <Mani> (Nah. Merge with Reis while screaming, "Aaah! Help! I'm being sucked in! Oh, my god, heeeelpppp!")
[14:45] <Sheena> (lol)
[14:45] <Kuonji> ("bitch be cool!")
[14:45] <Alathon> Kimberly: "Ohmigod.. I'm so sorry about that, I just saw it, I mean her, and it .. she.. I was just kinda, you know.."
[14:45] <Kuonji> (better yet, merge with sheena)
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi tries to talk her down.
[14:46] <Kuonji> (actually, wonder if I can still unison with sheena)
[14:46] <Sheena> "Shocked and amazed by the sheer levels of babeness i give off"
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Don't worry.. anyone would have been surprised."
[14:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just.. go grab us another pitcher, okay?"
[14:46] * Mani holds a glass of water near Sheena to heat it and then offers it to Sakura.
[14:46] <Alathon> She quickly takes the excuse to vacate the premises and skidaddles.
[14:46] <Kuonji> "Well, anyone normal... We're rather hard to phase nowadays."
[14:47] <Alathon> your hand will heat too.. it gets uncomfortable before the glass warms up.
[14:47] <Sheena> "I bet reis gets it next time"
[14:47] <Kuonji> "Hmm, hey Sheena, think I can still unison with you?"
[14:47] <Mani> (Armor should stop it from getting too uncomfortable.)
[14:47] <Alathon> Usagi cuts in, "That's a good question, but let's not test it just yet."
[14:47] * Sheena hmms
[14:47] <Alathon> (if you form it, sure)
[14:47] <Mani> "How come you get splashed so much, anyway, Sakura?"
[14:47] <Mani> (It's automatic/built in now.)
[14:48] <Alathon> (oh right, from the damage absorption)
[14:48] <Sheena> "Should be i guess.. but ill have to make sure some of these systems that came with dark heart dont think of you as a snack"
[14:48] <Mani> (Ever since the restructuring, actually.)
[14:48] <Alathon> (well yeah, but it's still a crystalline film over your skin.. I'd assumed you hadn't brought it up since you didn't describe it)
[14:48] <Kuonji> "Well, I've always had bad luck with water, the curse just seemed to make it a lot worse."
[14:49] <Alathon> (mm
[14:49] <Alathon> (kind of a grey area there)
[14:49] * Mani returns Sakura to human unless he says otherwise.
[14:49] <Alathon> (I suppose either of us could have described it)
[14:49] <Mani> "Yeah. I noticed the bad luck. You have any idea why?"
[14:50] <Alathon> (if you want some family info, you can do a straight int roll to remember some shit)
[14:50] <Alathon> (though even without that, you'd remember the general idea that the curse was really A CURSE, and tried to be one)
[14:51] <Kuonji> (do I want to know this? if I'm descended from ryouga I might fall into dispair)
[14:51] <Mani> (That would pretty much prove it.)
[14:51] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+4 int
[14:51] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+4 int --> [ 1d20=13 ]{17}
[14:53] <Kuonji> "Well, from what I remember hearing from my family, Jusenkyo curses tend to attract their triggers."
[14:54] <Kuonji> "Especially at the worst possible moment... Though my luck hasn't been THAT bad... yet."
[14:54] <Mani> "Sure, but I was wondering why you had a problem with water even before Jusenkyou."
[14:54] <Mani> "Hm... I wonder if that's why you ended up in China to begin with when Yuuno's teleport went wrong..."
[14:54] <Kuonji> (Al?)
[14:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That would sort of make sense.."
[14:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If you had some sort of water affinity.. and it drew you to a powerful water-based magic."
[14:55] <Sheena> "Better then you guys ending up in the ocean"
[14:56] <Alathon> Yuuno laughs.
[14:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "No kidding."
[14:56] <Sheena> "ALl tho we could have done with out the zombie girls following you home"
[14:56] <Kuonji> "Well... I can't really say for sure."
[14:56] <Kuonji> "But it's possible some aspects of the curse could be hereditary."
[14:56] * Mani ponders.
[14:56] <Alathon> Reis: "Hmm?"
[14:56] <Mani> "Was Jusenkyou part of your family history to begin with?"
[14:56] <Alathon> Reis: "You had an ancestor who was cursed?"
[14:56] * Kuonji looks slightly uncomfortable and scratches the back of his head
[14:57] <Kuonji> "Well, as far as I know, officially no.
[14:57] <Kuonji> "
[14:58] <Alathon> Reis: "Well.. if it was magical, it wouldn't have had to have been a recent ancestor."
[14:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah, it could have been a dozen generations back, and just shown up now....."
[14:58] <Alathon> Yuuno notices Kuonji's expression and trails off.
[14:58] <Kuonji> "I said "officially."
[14:59] <Kuonji> "There have been... rumors..."
[15:01] <Mani> (Sakura's kids have permanent rainclouds floating over their heads.)
[15:01] <Mani> (Has Kimberly returned yet?)
[15:01] <Alathon> She has not
[15:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "..anyways."
[15:01] <Mani> (Has it been unusually long?)
[15:01] <Alathon> (no)
[15:02] <Alathon> (or at least.. the party doesn't have a good way to assess that
[15:02] <Alathon> (unless someone wants to claim they know where the kitchens are in Espionage HQ)
[15:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "If you don't want to go into that in greater detail, that's cool."
[15:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm a bit curious, I'll admit, but there's no need for us to pry into family history."
[15:03] <Alathon> Usagi grins.
[15:03] * Mani nods.
[15:03] * Kuonji shrugs
[15:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose the gist of it is that we should seat you all the way down the table from the door, to minimize splashes on the rest of us."
[15:03] <Mani> "Or nearest."
[15:03] * Mani grins.
[15:04] <Alathon> Usagi snickers.
[15:04] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well, if we all clumped up at the far end, and left poor Sakura sitting all alone at the front."
[15:04] <Kuonji> "..."
[15:04] <Mani> "Just put Sheena between him and the door. Any splashed water will get evaporated."
[15:04] <Sheena> "if i catch the next pitcure of water this room might end up s suna
[15:05] <Alathon> Reis: "That, or Sheena will just have boiling water all over her.. ew."
[15:06] <Mani> (Actually, half the water would get heated and land on Yuuno and the other half would remain cold and hit Sakura.)
[15:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose Yuuno should count herself lucky she doesn't have a similar background.."
[15:06] <Alathon> Yuuno nods fervently.
[15:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Being bipedal beats the hell out of the alternatives."
[15:07] <Mani> "I'm not even cursed, and I know I'd hate getting splashed all the time."
[15:07] <Mani> "It has its advantages."
[15:07] <Alathon> Yuuno looks doubtful.
[15:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Maybe if I were Sheena, and wanted to look up skirts."
[15:08] <Mani> "But not something I want to be full time."
[15:08] <Mani> (I tihnk their wires got crossed there. :) )
[15:09] <Alathon> (heh
[15:09] <Alathon> (sheena doesn't have anything to say in her defense?)
[15:10] <Mani> (She doesn't consider that an attack. :) )
[15:11] <Sheena> (wtich one)
[15:11] <Alathon> (the looking up skirts bit)
[15:12] <Sheena> "Sounds like a good use fot it, useing your hands is much better tho"
[15:14] <Kuonji> "..."
[15:16] * Sheena shurgs
[15:16] <Sheena> "Hey both yuunoa reis liked it"
[15:17] * Kuonji blinks
[15:17] <Alathon> Reis: "........"
[15:17] <Sheena> "So umm.. sure ever one got questions for me.. i got got a couple for the boss"
[15:17] <Alathon> Usagi: "You know what? shoot."
[15:17] <Alathon> Usagi: "I've got questions, but they can wait."
[15:18] <Mani> "I figured we were waiting until Kimberly returned and left so we wouldn't be interrupted."
[15:18] <Sheena> "Why is my birth and file at the orphinenage fake?"
[15:18] <Sheena> *birthrecord
[15:18] <Alathon> Usagi starts to respond to Mani, then whips her head over to Sheena.
[15:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "Huh?"
[15:19] <Sheena> "well.. if you compaire it to the others at the time. Mine is a bit to clean and perfect, with no useable info on it"
[15:20] <Mani> ("Well, we changed to a new software package around then and a lot of your data was lost when we imported it... Sorry...")
[15:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "...."
[15:21] <Alathon> Usagi then looks down, and starts tapping something out on her comm unit.
[15:21] * Sheena recrossed herlegs
[15:21] <Alathon> she then looks up.
[15:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "one sec."
[15:21] * Sheena nods
[15:21] <Alathon> Around now, Kimberly returns with a pitcher of water.
[15:21] <Mani> ("What happened to the backups?" "Venus.")
[15:21] <Alathon> This time, she's cool about it, doesn't flinch or wig out or anything.
[15:21] <Alathon> end result, everyone has a glass of water ;p
[15:22] * Sheena watchs to see where the pitcher goes this time.. fearing what the girl will do with the food
[15:22] <Alathon> Usagi, distractedly: "Thanks."
[15:24] <Alathon> Usagi looks up after almost a minute.
[15:24] <Alathon> (and after Kimberly has left the room)
[15:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know."
[15:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "They're clearly falsified."
[15:25] * Sheena frowns and taps her claws/nails on her knee
[15:25] <Alathon> (that makes no sound.. it's your knee)
[15:25] <Kuonji> "So how'd you learn that sheena?"
[15:26] <Kuonji> "I mean, this seems to be something you only found out after you, well, died..."
[15:26] <Sheena> "Basicaly ya"
[15:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "Found out..."
[15:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "Are you sure your source is reliable?"
[15:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "Though admittedly, there's clearly something sketchy going on here."
[15:27] <Sheena> "Totaly? No, but consdering they have nothing to do with us, and belive i owe them for the info.. im thinking on it hard"
[15:27] <Kuonji> "They?"
[15:27] <Sheena> "She"
[15:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "Who?"
[15:28] <Kuonji> "Could you be a little more... vaugue?"
[15:28] <Sheena> "Well, lets get back to what happened"
[15:28] <Alathon> Usagi looks irritated for a moment, but it passes.
[15:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright..."
[15:28] <Alathon> usagi: "We need to do that regardless.. could you give a quick account of the events leading up to your.. incapacitation?"
[15:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "and procede from there until your revival."
[15:29] <Sheena> "Hmm.. well sakura was down, and mani just droped. We knew lady mecury was in bound, but not there yet"
[15:29] <Sheena> "So i steped up to buy us some time"
[15:31] <Sheena> "From the banter and insults mixed in with the blade play, it seems that the jerk we where fighting was an old boyfirned of celeste."
[15:31] <Sheena> "Guess he wasn't to amused to learn that she traded up as it is.. heh"
[15:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Wait.."
[15:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Are you certain of that? That there was a previous connection?"
[15:31] * Sheena shurgs
[15:32] <Sheena> "From the books i read about the, there reall are not that many adult and powerfull ubera around"
[15:32] <Sheena> "They would know of each other at the lest, but he impiled that celeste would get over my death sooner or later"
[15:33] <Sheena> "Around then i tried to shove my gigiblade down his pants and well that didnt turn out good.. Not sure what happened then"
[15:33] * Sheena looks over at yuuno and reis
[15:34] <Alathon> Reis doesn't have anything to add.
[15:34] <Alathon> (wait, didn't you use the ragna breaker?)
[15:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I think you're leaving out the part where you tore him a new one with a Breaker attack."
[15:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You hurt him worse than even Mercury's attack did.. at least, as far as I could tell."
[15:36] * Sheena smirks at that
[15:36] <Sheena> "Oh ya, that was great"
[15:37] <Sheena> "I ripped all the lose mana from the sroundings and focused it with dark heart, then blasted the shit out of him"
[15:38] <Sheena> "But i have no idea what happened after i got droped"
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Okay, I can see that."
[15:39] <Sheena> "I ended up waking up in a viod later, but i can't place the time to well. "
[15:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Short version.. Mercury showed up, there was a brief scuffle between her and that guy, then we dug everyone out of the rubble and got up on the roof next door, and dimension hopped to the Bar."
[15:40] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "I've heard about the fight.. and I'll leave it to your teammates to fill you in on the specifics, if you're interested."
[15:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'd like to hear about what happened afterwards. To you, I mean."
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi is facing Sheena when she says this.
[15:42] <Sheena> "Well like i said i woke up in a viod, there was another but twisting storms and fogs of dark engery around me"
[15:43] <Sheena> "Was boreing and had me pissed off a good bit thill i found out it was dark heart hodling me.. That woudl be about when the team hit the bars dock"
[15:43] * Sheena looks over at mani
[15:43] <Sheena> "Did you notice at all that you guys got stuck in a time stop for a good while?"
[15:43] <Mani> "I wasn't awake."
[15:44] * Sheena looks over at the others
[15:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Huh?"
[15:44] <Alathon> Reis: "I.. no, nothing like that. We were just there for like.. a minute or two."
[15:44] <Sheena> "Was a bit longer im guessing"
[15:45] <Sheena> "Any way.. it seems as soon as you droped to the doc.. Nanoha noticed something was up with dark heart. And paied me a little visite'
[15:46] <Alathon> Reis looks a little disturbed.
[15:46] <Alathon> Yuuno looks.. very disturbed.
[15:46] <Sheena> "Every thing in the envorment i was in just stoped, and she's walks up right up like doing so was an easy thing'
[15:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "By Nanoha, do you mean the supposed demonic proprietor of the Bar?"
[15:46] * Sheena nods
[15:47] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Was she --"
[15:47] <Alathon> Yuuno blurts, then catches herself.
[15:47] <Sheena> "She was a good looking women, or do you mean is she your nanoha? Seems so"
[15:47] <Alathon> Yuuno: "...."
[15:48] <Alathon> Reis: "She identified herself as such?"
[15:48] <Sheena> "Now i can't move at all in this viod space.. but she walks right up, makes some clothes and a set of chairs"
[15:48] <Sheena> "Yes"
[15:48] <Sheena> "We talked for a moment before i gave her a proper greating, She was suprised that i had no family name, i didnt find out while to later"
[15:49] <Alathon> (while?)
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "What do you mean by a void?"
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Blackness, lack of air, lack of movement.. ?"
[15:49] <Sheena> *find out for a while why
[15:50] <Sheena> "Yes, yes, and yes? I could only make out the flow of magic around me in the envirment"
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi: ".. "
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't suppose you could describe it in greater detail?"
[15:53] <Kuonji> (Why? we just want to know whay nanoha said damn it!)
[15:54] <Sheena> "Not sure i can, i mean there really wasnt much around me"
[15:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "alright.. go on."
[15:54] <Sheena> "It was dark, and filled with flowing strands, and fogs of magic"
[15:55] <Sheena> "Well like i said she seem suprised i had no fmaily name and intruduced herself as Nanoha Takamachi.."
[15:55] <Alathon> Yuuno groans a little.
[15:56] <Sheena> "wanted to know just how i ended up in dark heart"
[15:56] <Kuonji> "Hey, you know, that's like what I see when I Unison with someone."
[15:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "So...?"
[15:58] <Sheena> "Well i did find out i was stuck in my own core, and that dark heart had me"
[15:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Wait.. inside.. your core?"
[15:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "How does that work?"
[15:58] * Sheena shurgs
[15:59] <Sheena> "I havnt looked into thoes system to much.."
[15:59] <Sheena> "Wasn't sure the boss would want the knowlage on how to rip out souls being around"
[16:01] <Alathon> Usagi looks a little alarmed.
[16:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "Obviously."
[16:01] <Sheena> "Well.. we talked for a while about vairous things.. Thill we got to the point of dark heart just letting me go.. or if i wanted to try and come back"
[16:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "And?"
[16:03] <Sheena> "And i wasn't going to just toss it in yet.. so i figered i would make a go for coming back, Tho Nanoha's made it clear i owe her.. a lot"
[16:05] <Alathon> Usagi frowns.
[16:05] <Alathon> So does Yuuno.
[16:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "What do you mean?"
[16:06] <Sheena> "An.. open ended favor i belive was said. I couldn't I didn't get a choice in "price" ither"
[16:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "...."
[16:06] * Mani frowns.
[16:06] <Sheena> "She made it clear it was how much i matered to the team,"
[16:06] * Sheena looks at her group
[16:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Unless she... what?"
[16:06] <Kuonji> "I don't like the sound of that."
[16:06] <Sheena> "You,'
[16:06] * Sheena at her boss"
[16:06] <Mani> "I don't understand what that means."
[16:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Wait.. what?"
[16:06] <Sheena> "Yuuno, and celeste"
[16:07] * Sheena shurgs
[16:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That's... a very large favor."
[16:07] <Sheena> "How it was but, i guess she figered i would just charge off not careing if i get killed again"
[16:07] <Sheena> *put
[16:09] * Sheena taps her nails on the crystla chair a bit
[16:09] <Sheena> "I did make some rules of corse, what ever it is can't hurt any one i care for in any way"
[16:10] <Alathon> Usagi, irritated: "Well, at least you got that."
[16:11] <Sheena> "Nanoha had made it quite clear she had all the cards, and didn't bother hiding his poistion of power. I was basical screwed"
[16:11] <Sheena> *her
[16:13] <Alathon> Yuuno: "..."
[16:13] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little downcast.
[16:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "You couldn't have bargained for something more specific?"
[16:13] <Alathon> Usagi waves her hand
[16:13] <Sheena> "Tried to"
[16:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "I know that.. you know.. being alive is a really big deal."
[16:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "But that's a serious albatross hanging off your neck."
[16:14] * Sheena nods
[16:14] <Sheena> "I tried, there is nothing we have that she would want"
[16:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Did she.. ask for anything?"
[16:15] * Sheena hmms
[16:15] <Sheena> "Well she did seem interested in your echhi stash, but i couldnt really fork it over being just a traped soul"
[16:15] <Sheena> "Or was it the fact you had one..'
[16:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It's not a stash, it's just a couple.."
[16:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. and what's that got to do with anything?"
[16:16] * Sheena shurgs
[16:17] <Sheena> "Our conversation kinda whent all over the place, A powerfull respectable women is what i got from it, But she has as hell didn't bother hiding the fact that she has you ass owned and there sint shit you can do"
[16:17] <Sheena> *sure as hell
[16:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So what Exactly did she want from you?"
[16:17] <Alathon> Yuuno nods a little.
[16:17] <Sheena> "Nothing really"
[16:17] <Mani> "Yet."
[16:17] <Sheena> "Seems's it's something for later, ya yet"
[16:18] <Sheena> "Nanoha seemed truely confused when i told her i woudlnt be used to turn aginst the city or who i care about"
[16:18] <Alathon> Yuuno, surprised: "Confused?"
[16:18] <Sheena> "I belive her answer was, "Why not? It's a senshi world they all go down in sooner or later"
[16:18] <Alathon> She looks a little.. surprised, and dismayed.
[16:19] <Sheena> "Yes, that i would bother protecting this place"
[16:19] <Alathon> Usagi, frostily: "Oh."
[16:19] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Wow.."
[16:19] <Kuonji> "..."
[16:19] <Alathon> (I'm assuming you meant, in flames?)
[16:20] * Mani shrugs.
[16:20] <Mani> "Won't be the first time we've encountered prejudice."
[16:20] <Sheena> "Unless there's some hidden plots you havnt told us about boss.. she seemed so certent that there isnt one "good' group of senshi around"
[16:20] <Sheena> (yes0
[16:20] <Sheena> (oor how ever it was put)
[16:20] <Sheena> ( i kinda forgoet)
[16:20] <Alathon> (I don't remember, but it shouldn't matter.. this is Sheena speaking in her own words ;p )
[16:21] <Alathon> Yuuno: "We're going to run into this with EVERYONE, aren't we?"
[16:21] <Sheena> "Yep'"
[16:22] <Sheena> "Ahh right.. I owe her a much smaller favor to.. For a bit of info"
[16:22] * Kuonji looks accusingly at Usagi "Damn it, boss, why do you have to have so many evil counterparts."
[16:22] * Sheena wonders a bit..
[16:22] <Alathon> Usagi looks a little pissed at first..
[16:22] <Alathon> Then breaks out into laughter.
[16:22] <Sheena> "Must be that dress.."
[16:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "I.. fuck, I don't know. it's not my fault."
[16:23] <Alathon> Usagi, plaintively: "We've always meant the best.."
[16:24] <Kuonji> "Well, the road to Hell..."
[16:24] <Sheena> "Say.. how secure is this room?"
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "quite secure."
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's not Fort Knox, but we have things under control."
[16:25] <Alathon> (if you want, you can roll your history to recognize Fort Knox ;p )
[16:25] <Kuonji> "Fort what?"
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "Oh.. right."
[16:26] <Alathon> usagi: "Where the American Empire stored its precious metals."
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi then snorts.
[16:26] <Sheena> "Oh? still around?"
[16:26] <Alathon> usagi: "Er, United States."
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi sighs.
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "I have no clue.. um. I don't actually know where it was."
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "It was just one of those phrases that was around."
[16:27] * Sheena nods
[16:27] * Mani frowns slightly.
[16:27] <Mani> "Around when?"
[16:27] <Alathon> (the difficulty to remember where fort knox actually was is substantially higher)
[16:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "Before the Fall."
[16:28] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+6 history
[16:28] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+6 history --> [ 1d20=18 ]{24}
[16:28] <Kuonji> "Kentucky."
[16:28] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Kuonji.
[16:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "Oh. Right."
[16:29] <Kuonji> "I just remembered."
[16:29] <Kuonji> ("Think I saw it in an old prefall movie... Had some guy with a razor throwing hat.")
[16:29] <Sheena> "Well, you noticed that my records are off to. And nanoha seemed suprised i didnt give a family name.. Before she ended the time stop and boosted dark heart she decided to tell me, counting it as a small favor"
[16:30] <Alathon> Usagi, a little worried: "Another favor?"
[16:30] <Sheena> "It's something you really should know, was how she put it"
[16:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's two.."
[16:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm?
[16:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So.. what's your name?"
[16:30] <Kuonji> ("Takamichi, duh)
[16:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "er, your family name, not your regular one."
[16:31] <Alathon> Yuuno, irritated: "if you say Sheena, I'm going to smack you with a sandwich."
[16:31] * Sheena crossed her legs the other way
[16:31] <Sheena> "Hmm still need to test that eating.. any way"
[16:31] <Kuonji> "You should do it anyway, toasted sandwhiches are good."
[16:31] <Sheena> "Before restarting time she told me my family name was Meioh...."
[16:32] <Alathon> You'll all recognize the name from the senshi "tell-all" book you purchased at Nanoha's Bar
[16:32] <Mani> "Well, that's interesting..."
[16:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Seriously?"
[16:32] <Alathon> Usagi doesn't seem terribly surprised.
[16:33] <Sheena> "Not something i would make up"
[16:33] * Sheena frowns a bit
[16:33] <Kuonji> "Uhhh..."
[16:33] <Alathon> Yuuno shrugs.
[16:33] <Kuonji> "Wow."
[16:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.. cool."
[16:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Definately beats having to explain that you've only got a personal name every time you fill out a form, or meet someone."
[16:34] <Sheena> "Consdering how my records are faked, im not finding it to cool"
[16:34] <Mani> "I can imagine."
[16:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Huh?
[16:34] <Alathon> Yuuno doesn't look like she gets it.
[16:34] <Alathon> hmm
[16:34] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4
[16:34] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{10}
[16:35] <Kuonji> "Well, the question of "Why?" springs immediatly to mind."
[16:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I still don't get it. Seriously."
[16:35] <Sheena> "any one got a copy of that book for sensie?"
[16:36] * Kuonji checks his hair
[16:36] <Kuonji> "I might..."
[16:36] <Kuonji> (Al?)
[16:36] <Alathon> (you do)
[16:36] * Kuonji pulls it out
[16:36] * Sheena is mostly watching usagi's reaction
[16:37] <Alathon> Usagi doesn't seem particularly startled.
[16:37] <Kuonji> "Anything we should know, Boss?"
[16:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "So.. you think you're related to Sailor Pluto?"
[16:37] * Sheena shurgs
[16:37] <Sheena> "I don't think anything, why i was going to ask you to check it out"
[16:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Why not just ask her?'
[16:38] <Sheena> "It's just a family name after all, i duno how many are around"
[16:38] <Kuonji> "So, how the hell did Nanoha know that?"
[16:38] <Alathon> (hmm.. common knowledge would be that it's not recognized as a common family name, but it sounds like a family name)
[16:38] <Sheena> "becuas i don't know her? Caus she's never even bothered to give me the time of day?"
[16:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Have you even met her?"
[16:38] <Alathon> Usagi sounds ever-so-slightly defensive.
[16:39] <Mani> "Maybe she doesn't know who you are."
[16:39] <Sheena> "Briefly when we handed over the slu chip"
[16:39] <Kuonji> "Could it be a different Pluto?"
[16:39] * Sheena shurgs
[16:39] <Sheena> "I. Don't. Know."
[16:39] <Mani> "She could know she has a relative without knowing it's you."
[16:39] <Mani> "But you should definitely talk to her."
[16:39] <Sheena> "I don't know anything but the name that was droped"
[16:40] <Kuonji> (Well, that's one less senshi Sheena can seduce now)
[16:40] <Sheena> (you sure?)
[16:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "...."
[16:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I don't get it.. I didn't think Nanoha had anything to do with this world."
[16:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "How could she know something like that?"
[16:41] <Sheena> "Senshi worlds that have been wiped out?"
[16:41] <Mani> "It's possible she's assuming it based on other dimensions."
[16:42] <Mani> "Or maybe she found out somehow from Dark Heart being on Sheena all this time."
[16:42] <Sheena> "I don't have a clue ither way, kinda why i told usagi..'
[16:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I've never known her to be dishonest.."
[16:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm guessing that's why you asked earlier?"
[16:44] * Sheena nods
[16:45] * Sheena its not like i can just fly over and ask, let alone do so looking like this
[16:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "..."
[16:45] <Alathon> usagi: "Do you mind if I ask.. what does this mean to you?"
[16:45] <Sheena> "its not like i can just fly over and ask, let alone do so looking like this"
[16:45] <Sheena> "Im hoping you would, would mean a lot to me."
[16:45] <Sheena> "I just don't think i could try and find out myself"
[16:46] <Sheena> "How do you ask some one if theyy ever had a kid, let alone tossed aside when it was to young to remember"
[16:47] <Mani> "Even if you're related, it doesn't mean she's your mother."
[16:47] * Sheena nods
[16:47] <Mani> "At least, not necessarily."
[16:47] <Sheena> "that to, like i said its just a name that got droped to me. Could be other family"
[16:47] <Alathon> (she's really.. your Brood Mother)
[16:47] <Alathon> (barf)
[16:47] <Sheena> (for the swarm)
[16:47] <Mani> "You can comm her and ask her to meet with you."
[16:48] <Alathon> Usagi: ".."
[16:48] <Kuonji> "But, uh, who? I mean, it's been what, 1000 years? Even with the extended life spans, who would still be alive?"
[16:48] * Mani looks at Usagi.
[16:48] <Mani> "Do you know something about this?"
[16:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "No."
[16:48] <Alathon> usagi: "And I can talk to Puu, but.. she's never said a word to me."
[16:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "and I think of everyone, she would have told me."
[16:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "... but she's as good at anyone at keeping secrets."
[16:49] <Kuonji> (/me raises an eyebrow and holds up his pinkie)
[16:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "and she's got plenty of good reasons to keep any offspring a secret."
[16:49] * Sheena ends up pouting a bit
[16:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "... I just don't like to think that she did."
[16:49] * Mani nods.
[16:49] <Alathon> Usagi sounds a little troubled.
[16:50] <Sheena> "Worse yet, would i even still count like this"
[16:50] <Alathon> Usagi looks irritated.
[16:50] <Alathon> usagi: "Count as what?"
[16:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "You're back, that's all that counts."
[16:50] <Sheena> "As sheena? As being some ones daughter?"
[16:50] <Mani> "The only thing to do is talk to her. Either you, yourself, Sheena, or ask Usagi to speak to her first on your behalf."
[16:50] * Sheena smiles a bit an nods
[16:50] <Sheena> "If you say so boss, it must be ture"
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi looks a little relieved.
[16:51] <Sheena> "Eh.. i was be a bit scared to talk to her really.. I mean venus is a feiend and it still took a while to convince her im not a f'in youma"
[16:51] <Sheena> *would be
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well, like I said..>"
[16:51] <Alathon> usagi trails off..
[16:51] <Mani> "Don't take it personally. I had to go through something similar with Saturn, myself."
[16:52] <Kuonji> "I'd have probably preferred that then taking that jump back with Yuuno..."
[16:52] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hey! I like my new body, thankyouverymuch."
[16:52] <Kuonji> "It would have been a lot less nerve wracking."
[16:53] <Sheena> "Well, i had to get sakura to drop his pants and whip it out so i could prove i was sheena"
[16:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "A few weeks hiking was a small price to pay."
[16:53] <Kuonji> "..."
[16:53] <Sheena> "Figered she would have me take yuuona on a table next if hat wasnt enought"
[16:53] <Mani> "You think having Saturn ready to vaporize you if she doesn't like your answers isn't nerve wracking?"
[16:53] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani and gives her a quick nod.
[16:53] <Kuonji> "Yeah, it WAS pretty apparant you were rather fond of it on the trip back." *Sakura grumbles
[16:53] <Sheena> (was that a loaded line or what? :P )
[16:53] <Alathon> Reis: "She does seem a little.. decisive..."
[16:54] <Kuonji> "After what I went through from the last two of Yuuno's teleports?
[16:54] <Kuonji> "
[16:54] <Kuonji> "Much less."
[16:54] * Mani sighs and shakes her head.
[16:54] <Mani> "There's no point debating who had more "fun" in that episode."
[16:55] <Alathon> Usagi tries to dispel the gloom.
[16:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "Really, Sakura, you're so cute in that form."
[16:55] <Kuonji> ("Besides, I have my Sailor Saturn fanclub member card right here!")
[16:55] <Mani> "But, we're all alive and well, so things worked out well enough."
[16:55] <Alathon> usagi: "How could any inconvenience be compared to that?"
[16:55] <Alathon> (bear in mind, Kuonji was doused a while back, and is in chibi form)
[16:55] <Mani> (*squeal* "Oh, I'd be honored to be vaporized by your hand, Saturn-sama!")
[16:56] <Mani> (I changed him back.)
[16:56] <Alathon> (wait, you did?)
[16:56] <Kuonji> "..."
[16:56] <Mani> (I heated the water, remember?)
[16:56] <Alathon> (oh right.. sigh)
[16:56] <Alathon> (oh well, at least she didn't specify current form)
[16:56] <Alathon> Yuuno giggles.
[16:56] <Kuonji> "Well, if you'd like to take a trip to China I'm sure you coud pick one up for your self."
[16:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah right, I'd probably end up in spring of drowned bunny rabit."
[16:57] <Mani> "Oh, the last thing you need is the princess imitating you, Sakura."
[16:57] * Sheena pounders for a moment.. then gives out a perverted giggle
[16:57] <Sheena> "SPring of dwoned bunnygirl... hmm"
[16:57] <Mani> (The party opens fire on her.)
[16:58] <Alathon> Usagi rolls her eyes.
[16:58] <Kuonji> "Hey, maybe you'll get lucky and end up in the spring of drowned yeti riding an ox while carrying a crane and eel."
[16:58] <Alathon> Reis: "I don't think that's what she meant, Sheena-san."
[16:58] <Sheena> "Huh.. whynot?"
[16:58] <Alathon> Reis: "...I don't think bunny girls are as high on everyone elses priorities."
[16:58] * Sheena shurgs
[16:58] <Sheena> "thats there problems"
[16:58] <Sheena> "Its a good look if you got the legs for it"
[16:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "Okay, okay."
[16:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "all that said.."
[16:59] <Alathon> usagi: "Sheena."
[16:59] <Mani> (Usagi decides to bring the gloom back.)
[16:59] <Kuonji> (come to think of it, Sakura could probably convince saturn with a little effor)
[16:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "What happened after Nanoha told you that your family name is Meioh?"
[17:00] <Sheena> "She restarted time, put her hands on my sholders, and then explaned if we ever brought war or battle to her door steps again she would rend our souls"
[17:00] <Alathon> Yuuno looks taken aback..
[17:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "She said that?"
[17:00] * Sheena nods
[17:01] <Sheena> "Seem's her "bar" is a giant dimmall and safe heaven"
[17:01] <Kuonji> (dimmall?)
[17:01] <Sheena> "For any one to retreat to and remain safe, as long as they dont bring troble with them"
[17:01] <Kuonji> (oh dimensional mall?)
[17:01] <Alathon> Yuuno, muttering, "... can't believe she'd.."
[17:01] <Sheena> (yep)
[17:01] <Mani> "I think maybe we should download a list of rules and regulations next time we're there..."
[17:02] <Alathon> Usagi, tartly: "
[17:02] <Alathon> Usagi, tartly: "Assuming they're even posted."
[17:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't recall hearing anything about that from your previous missions>"
[17:02] <Alathon> Reis: "Maybe they're not posted, and passed by word-of-mouth.."
[17:03] <Alathon> Reis: "And anyone who breaks them, well, they'er not around to post them."
[17:03] <Alathon> Yuuno shoots Reis a dirty look.
[17:03] <Mani> "We can look for a faq, too. I suppose we were a bit negligent in that department."
[17:04] <Kuonji> "Well, I've been wondering, if we need some place to dimension hop out of battle, could we use my hairspace?
[17:04] <Kuonji> "
[17:05] <Mani> "Can you enter it yourself?"
[17:05] <Sheena> "We should find out close dim's that are safe or empty for that"
[17:05] <Mani> "It's worth looking into. We should also obtain other dimensional coordinates."
[17:05] <Kuonji> "Well my hand can, I never really tried my seld..."
[17:05] <Sheena> "The greys we battled made good use of that tactic"
[17:05] <Kuonji> "Since I don't know how I'd get back out."
[17:05] <Kuonji> (self)
[17:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "..."
[17:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "They must be going somewhere."

Sessino 75 - part 2

[17:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "and really, there must be plenty of dimensions like ours.. wehre nobody seems to be in charge of dimensional travel."
[17:06] <Mani> "Of course. Obviously, we should choose someplace else to go."
[17:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Fuck, I wish I could remember all my old coordinates clearly."
[17:07] <Alathon> Yuuno's uncharacteristic cursing matches her stormy demeanor.
[17:07] <Mani> "As for testing hairspace, I'd suggest having someone who can teleport interdimensionally, like Yuuno, see if she can teleport out of it. If she can, you can try accompanying her into it."
[17:07] <Alathon> Reis: "You mean.. from your life before.. all this?"
[17:07] <Alathon> Yuuno nods to Reis.
[17:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[17:08] <Kuonji> "What do you say Yuuno, you up for the trip?"
[17:08] <Sheena> "Ya know.. nanoha didnt seem suprised at all when she heard i got dark heart when a ferret fell on me"
[17:08] <Alathon> usagi: "seems like the gist of that, regardless, is not to evac to the Bar until further notice."
[17:08] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Sheena.
[17:08] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well, she shouldn't be, she was the one that stuck me as a Ferret after all."
[17:09] * Mani nods to Usagi.
[17:09] <Mani> "Maybe she didn't think your lifespan would be extended."
[17:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "If the place is as you describe, shouldn't there be dimensional coordinates available for purchase?"
[17:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "Perhaps not to places like Midchilda, but to inhabitable planets at least."
[17:10] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little surprised at Mani's comment.
[17:11] <Sheena> "Something to look into, but we still run into the problem of not havint many slu's
[17:12] <Alathon> Usagi frowns.
[17:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "Something like that would be really useful.. especially if more teams learned dimensional travel."
[17:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "If we're going to run into teleport wards in the future, we'll NEED something like that.."
[17:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "Maybe not in the immediate future, with Pluto doing the gates, but.."
[17:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[17:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "Can dimensional travel be blocked, or warded against?"
[17:14] <Alathon> Usagi rolls her eyes.
[17:14] <Kuonji> "Huh?"
[17:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "of course it can, I've done it.. I mean."
[17:14] <Sheena> "Would asume so"
[17:14] <Kuonji> "Ah."
[17:14] <Alathon> Usagi looks over to Sheena, then to Yuuno.
[17:14] <Alathon> usagi: "over a wide area."
[17:14] <Sheena> "On large scale would take some research"
[17:14] * Sheena nods
[17:14] <Sheena> "I can start looking.. well reis can"
[17:15] <Sheena> "I kinda can't do much at the moment"
[17:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "When I draw someone into a subspace pocket, it's difficult for them to leave it.. but not impossible."
[17:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It's just harder to activate any dimensional travel ability or magic."
[17:15] <Alathon> Reis frowns, then nods.
[17:15] <Alathon> Reis: "i've been working on some Velkan technology, but that can wait."
[17:18] <Mani> "Even if it can be blocked, the more options we have, the better."
[17:18] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[17:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "Definately."
[17:19] <Alathon> usagi then looks over at Sheena.
[17:19] <Alathon> usagi: "So.. anything else?"
[17:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "was that it, or did she tell you more, or what?"
[17:21] <Sheena> "Aabout it"
[17:21] <Sheena> "After that me and dark heart started the merg, and well you say how i had to form my body"
[17:21] * Sheena looks at the group
[17:21] <Sheena> "Or at lest they did
[17:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "I heard some of it."
[17:22] <Alathon> Usagi: '.. hmm, do you mind if I touch you, sheena?"
[17:22] <Sheena> "Hmm.. i plan on getting that hug again some time as well, sure go ahead."
[17:22] <Sheena> "Just protect your hand"
[17:22] <Alathon> Usagi grins.
[17:23] <Alathon> Usagi pushes her chair back, then stands up, and makes a series of gestures.. for a fraction of a second, she's encased in a reddish aura, which then fades.
[17:23] <Alathon> She walks around the table to Sheena's position and gingerly reaches out with her hand.. and carefully touches Sheena's shoulder.
[17:24] <Alathon> Then she gets a relieved expression on her face as she doesn't catch fire or burn ;p
[17:24] * Sheena smiles at the feeling
[17:24] <Alathon> Usagi then grins.
[17:24] <Sheena> "Soild and soft, in just the right amounts"
[17:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Stand your ass up, Sheena."
[17:24] * Sheena blinks and does so
[17:24] <Alathon> Usagi gives you that hug.
[17:24] * Sheena hugs back a bit tightly.
[17:25] <Alathon> Usagi whispers something into Sheena's ear.
[17:25] <Mani> (Protection from Sheena spell. :) )
[17:25] <Sheena> (tho dont that give usagi a face full of chest since she's taller?)
[17:25] <Alathon> (no, sheena's average height now)
[17:25] <Alathon> (about the same as Usagi)
[17:26] <Sheena> (ahh roger)
[17:26] <Alathon> (5'4 isn't exactly giant sized ;p )
[17:26] <Kuonji> (yeah, sakura's still taller then you)
[17:26] <Alathon> Usagi holds the hug for a good thirty seconds, before breaking it.
[17:26] <Alathon> Usagi then looks around the room.
[17:26] <Sheena> (im like 6'6'' here, anything blow me just counts as midgets :P )
[17:26] <Mani> (Though, I suppose Sheena can levitate at the last moment to try to bring about that effect. ;) )
[17:26] <Alathon> usagi: "anyone else who wants a hug, I can ward you against heat for a few minutes."
[17:27] <Alathon> Yuuno is quick to stands up, and walks over.
[17:27] <Alathon> Reis hesitates a little, flushing as she looks over at Sheena's naked form.
[17:27] <Alathon> Usagi wards Yuuno against heat, and Yuuno gives Sheena a serious glomp.
[17:27] <Mani> (Didn't Reis already hug her?)
[17:27] <Alathon> (yes, protected by forcefield)
[17:27] * Sheena laughts and enjoys the glomp.. but gets a grin on her face while doing so
[17:28] <Alathon> Yuuno doesn't say anything, just holding Sheena.
[17:28] <Alathon> She lets go soon enough, smiling, and goes back to her seat.
[17:28] <Sheena> (awww, was goign to go for the ears, heh)
[17:28] <Alathon> Reis: "That's okay, but Sheena already got her welcome-back hug."
[17:28] <Alathon> Reis grins at Sheena.
[17:28] * Sheena ya
[17:28] <Sheena> "Ya,"
[17:29] <Sheena> "Tho.. i still want to head over to celests some time,"
[17:29] <Alathon> Usagi's expression promptly darkens.
[17:29] <Sheena> "How much of a problem will it be for me to fly over?'"
[17:29] <Alathon> Reis: "Um.."
[17:30] * Sheena looks at the boss then around
[17:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't think she's there."
[17:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "She was very.. distraught.. when we broke the news to her. She didn't believe you could be dead.. thought she'd know if you were."
[17:30] <Sheena> "Well.. if dark heart had my soul.. as far as it maters to here i wasnt"
[17:31] <Sheena> *her
[17:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Reis let her watch what happened, and.. after that, she left for some privacy, I think."
[17:32] <Sheena> "Well shit... If she's not at the aparment can i take a flight to the south islands?"
[17:32] <Mani> "Do you have a way of reaching her other than comm?"
[17:32] * Sheena nods
[17:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm not going to restrict your movement.. within reason."
[17:32] <Alathon> usagi: "Just don't go buzzing people, okay?"
[17:32] <Sheena> "Within reason?"
[17:32] <Sheena> "Oh, ya figered that"
[17:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Your appearance is very startling."
[17:33] <Sheena> "Wasn't it all ways?"
[17:33] * Sheena grins at that
[17:33] <Kuonji> "I don't know, she got some appreciative looks on the way in here."
[17:33] <Alathon> Usagi: "If you could go out with other members of the team when you're around town, I'd appreciate it."
[17:33] <Mani> "All the senshi know about her current appearance?"
[17:33] <Alathon> Usagi rolls her eyes.
[17:33] <Alathon> usagi: "Oh, I'm sure."
[17:33] <Alathon> Usagi: "Probably not, but they will within the hour."
[17:33] * Mani nods.
[17:33] <Sheena> "Err.. if mecury comes around hide me ok? Her lab girls are scary"
[17:34] <Alathon> Usagi grins fiercely.
[17:34] * Mani smiles at Sheena.
[17:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Not a chance."
[17:34] <Mani> "Don't buzz any warships, either."
[17:34] <Sheena> "Most i would do is search that battle ground for her main house if i can't contact her"
[17:35] <Mani> "Is she sticking to this dimension these days?"
[17:36] * Sheena looks a bit paniced at that
[17:36] <Sheena> "I hope so..'
[17:36] * Mani looks at Reis.
[17:36] <Alathon> Reis: "Hmm?"
[17:36] <Mani> "Do we have her network ID at the Bar?"
[17:36] <Alathon> Reis: "I... don't think so. Let me check."
[17:36] <Alathon> Reis will quickly produce the original PDA she purchased, and tap commands into it.. then look up, dismayed.
[17:36] <Alathon> Reis: "I never thought to ask.."
[17:37] <Mani> "Well, we can ask the trader she introduced us to, if we need it."
[17:37] <Sheena> "Ok now im getting worried"
[17:37] <Alathon> Reis looks really relieved.
[17:37] <Alathon> Reis: "Yeah.. if she's a friend, she'd have to know."
[17:37] * Sheena closes her eyes and seems to focus on something
[17:39] <Mani> ("Sheena! No using the force at meetings!")
[17:39] * Sheena looks a bit panic when she opens them again
[17:39] <Kuonji> (can we head toward the garden of madness?)
[17:39] <Sheena> "I feel nothing on this end"
[17:40] <Mani> "I take it that means you normally can feel her?"
[17:40] <Alathon> Reis looks a little surprised.
[17:40] <Alathon> Usagi looks.. interested.
[17:40] <Kuonji> (Tommy can you feel me?)
[17:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "Feel her? Her presence, or vicinity, or what?"
[17:41] <Sheena> "Both?"
[17:41] <Mani> ("Her continual low-level energy tap?")
[17:41] <Sheena> "Normaly we can at lest feel eachother.."
[17:41] <Mani> "Perhaps merging with Dark Heart changed you enough to disrupt that connection."
[17:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That.. wouldn't surprise me."
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "A bit of background.. mages where I'm from, on Midchilda, were all telepathic."
[17:42] <Sheena> "Damn.."
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It was totally normal for us to speak mind-to-mind.. and to have a sense of where our closest and dearest were."
[17:42] <Alathon> Usagi looks intrigued at this.
[17:42] <Mani> "Does it normally work across dimensions?"
[17:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That she could have awoken that kind of connection is totally normal.. but.. what you've been through, I can also totally see it changing things."
[17:43] <Alathon> Yuuno shakes her head.
[17:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "No."
[17:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "and distance matters."
[17:43] <Mani> "I wouldn't be that surprised if she wanted to go someplace else for a while after losing you. Too many memories here..."
[17:43] <Sheena> "DAmn it!"
[17:43] <Alathon> Yuuno winces, and Reis nods her head slowly.
[17:44] <Sheena> "i've said more then once that i wouldnt even stop for death.. would be nice to be belived now and then"
[17:44] * Mani looks at Usagi.
[17:44] <Mani> "When do you think we can go to the Bar again?"
[17:44] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-9-10.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[17:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well that's kind of a stretch.."
[17:44] <Alathon> Usagi: "...."
[17:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "If you think it's important, immediately is fine."
[17:45] * Sheena nods
[17:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "We're still a few days from kick-off."
[17:45] <Sheena> "I would like the check the south sea first.. wont take long"
[17:45] <Sheena> "Im very fast now"
[17:46] <Mani> "All right."
[17:46] <Alathon> Yuuno, jokingly: "You've always been fast, Sheena."
[17:46] * Mani looks at Yuuno and says solemnly, "I believe you."
[17:46] * Sheena grins a bit at that..
[17:46] * Mani turns back to Usagi.
[17:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just remember.. keep a decent altitude."
[17:47] <Sheena> "Oh.. that heat thing still up, thoes ears of your are looking rather lonly right now yuuno.."
[17:47] <Alathon> usagi: "We don't need hundreds of reports of flaming purple muties."
[17:47] <Alathon> Yuuno backs away in her chair a little, her hands rising protectively to her ears.
[17:47] <Alathon> It looks.. absurd.
[17:47] <Mani> "We can check out some of our other priorities while there. Look up rules of the place, see about finding other coordinates, check into getting additional SLU storage devices."
[17:48] <Mani> "And if you have a response to the mercenary company?"
[17:48] <Alathon> Usagi closes her eyes, in thought.
[17:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't.. but damn."
[17:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "We should keep dialog open."
[17:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "One of 'em wanted a prisoner exchange, right?"
[17:49] <Mani> "Oh! Some good news. I think I've gotten the magic to heal the entrance fee down."
[17:49] <Mani> (I don't recall the details off the top of my head.)
[17:49] <Alathon> Usagi: That's nice.. wait, what?"
[17:50] <Alathon> (Executive Outcomes wanted to discuss prisoner excahnge, possibly in return for information)
[17:50] <Alathon> (among other commodities)
[17:50] <Mani> "You know how our stamina is sapped when we enter the place?"
[17:50] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[17:50] <Mani> "I think I should be able to restore it."
[17:53] <Sheena> "Handy"
[17:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's a pretty substantial improvement from flesh-mending.."
[17:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "You've been making an effort to enhance your abilities, havne't you?"
[17:54] <Mani> "Well, flesh mending is needed far more often..."
[17:54] * Mani nods.
[17:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's a good direction to take."
[17:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "Far more productive than most you can take from there."
[17:55] * Sheena coughs at that
[17:55] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Sheena.
[17:55] <Alathon> usagi: "Hmm?"
[17:55] <Mani> (Tell me about it. The DM pretty much said straight out that remove disease and poison would be useless in this campaign.)
[17:55] <Alathon> (heh)
[17:55] <Sheena> "Just thinking on what i said earler.. but im propbly just confusing things"
[17:56] <Alathon> (the only real poison usage, unless the party does something really stupid, is likely tobe from Kuonji's kunai)
[17:56] <Mani> "I find it very ... satisfying to be able to heal, and not only do damage, with my abilities."
[17:56] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[17:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "I can feel that."
[17:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "I mean.. understand that."
[17:58] <Alathon> Usagi then looks back over at Sheena.
[17:58] <Alathon> usagi: "If that's the sum total of everything you experienced.. I'm pretty much done with you."
[17:58] <Sheena> "Ouch"
[17:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll be getting back in the swing of things in a couple days, but you'll have until then to attend to personal matters."
[17:59] <Sheena> "That sounds so harash boss"
[17:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "I didn't mean it that way."
[17:59] <Mani> "Say, did we ever develop a fireproof comm? I know Keiko needed one."
[17:59] <Sheena> "Will you still looking into that family name stuff for me?"
[18:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know.. and yes."
[18:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "But.."
[18:00] <Alathon> Usagi looks at Sheena.
[18:00] <Alathon> usagi: "are you sure you want me to look into this, rather than addressing this personally?"
[18:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "I can make sure you get a reasonably prompt meeting with Pluto, if that's what you want."
[18:01] <Sheena> "How could i do this personally? I wouldnt even know where to start"
[18:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "Ask Puu."
[18:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "I can get you some time.."
[18:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "And I'd rather not have any questions or doubts festering."
[18:01] <Sheena> "Just walk up and ask a senshi if they had a daughter they ditched?"
[18:01] <Mani> ("She'll meet you two days ago.")
[18:01] <Alathon> Usagi, irritated: "And if she DID go and chuck you in an orphanage, she can damned well answer for it."
[18:02] <Alathon> Uasgi: "Yes."
[18:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just like that, yes."
[18:02] * Sheena frowns and looks trobled
[18:02] <Sheena> "Can you jsut check first..? Then ill go"
[18:02] <Alathon> Usagi: ".."
[18:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "... "
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "She already gave me my answer."
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi taps her comm unit.
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "The official word, at the highest level, does not include you being her progeny."
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "If you're gonna hear anything different, I seriously doubt it'd be through me."
[18:03] * Sheena blinks and frowns at that
[18:03] <Sheena> "What the hell does that mean"
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "Seriously.."
[18:03] <Alathon> Usagi frowns.
[18:04] <Alathon> Usagi: "it means I don't want to get between the two of you!"
[18:04] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's what it means."
[18:04] <Sheena> "Err well.. considering who you are i kinda figered you at the highest level"
[18:04] <Alathon> Usagi: "I have no goddamned clue how to resolve this in any way, short of forwarding you to her."
[18:04] <Alathon> Usagi smiles a little.
[18:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "Maybe I'm being overly altruistic.. but I've always figured that there's that.. then there's family."
[18:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "Of course.. that's Mom and Dad speaking."
[18:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "Puu.. I dunno."
[18:06] <Sheena> "fine.. i guess ill have to ask in person"
[18:06] <Alathon> Usagi immediately looks relieved.
[18:06] <Sheena> "BUt if i start getting shot at ill be relaly annoyed"
[18:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "I seriously doubt she'll start a fight with you."
[18:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't think I've ever seen Puu start a fight with anyone or anything."
[18:06] <Mani> (Finish one, maybe...{
[18:06] <Alathon> (hahha)
[18:07] <Kuonji> (didn't she shoot at tsukasa?)
[18:07] <Sheena> "Usagi.. I know two things about her, One is no one know zip about her around town, the other is that she blasted tsuka"
[18:07] <Alathon> (Tsukasa started it by fleeing a lawful arrest)
[18:07] <Sheena> "I wouldnt even be able to connect the name with out that damn book"
[18:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "... that is her name, by the way."
[18:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "Setsuna Meioh."
[18:08] * Sheena nods
[18:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "no poitn in bullshitting about it."
[18:08] * Sheena then smirks
[18:08] <Sheena> "You send her a copy of that book by chance?"
[18:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "At the very least, that's the only name I've ever heard other than 'Sailor Pluto'."
[18:08] <Alathon> Usagi laughs.
[18:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "We've all got copies."
[18:08] <Mani> (And Puu! :) )
[18:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "do you have any idea just how close to home that thing strikes?"
[18:09] * Sheena blinks
[18:09] <Sheena> "If what im feeling about finding out a name is even close.."
[18:09] <Alathon> Usagi looks a little agitated at that line.
[18:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "We're nothing like that!"
[18:10] * Sheena blinks
[18:10] <Sheena> "Huh?"
[18:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "this isn't some sick game or adolescent fairytale fantasy to us!"
[18:10] * Sheena backs up a bit
[18:10] <Sheena> "errr, i didnt say that did i?"
[18:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "no, but you damned well implied it."
[18:10] <Sheena> "umm.. no?"
[18:11] <Mani> "Umm, I don't think she meant what you think she did."
[18:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "Then what did you meant?"
[18:11] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani.
[18:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "How so?"
[18:11] <Sheena> "Unsure, rethinking things, Wondering WHY?"
[18:12] <Mani> "I took her to mean that all of a sudden finding out that she might have family, living family, who probably knew about her, when all her life she thought she had none and was alone is pretty unsettling."
[18:12] <Alathon> Usagi looks a little unsettled herself.
[18:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "I can't imagine Puu..."
[18:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "But never mind that, I.."
[18:13] <Alathon> Reis: "Could there be some overriding reason why she'd feel a need to hide her daughter's existance.. for her protection, perhaps?"
[18:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "I just.. really doubt it."
[18:13] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani.
[18:13] <Sheena> "Protection? Considering our jobs?'
[18:14] <Alathon> Reis: ".. point."
[18:14] <Mani> "There's only one way to find out what happened and why."
[18:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "I guess I can understand that.. sort of.. and yeah."
[18:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's hard enough wrapping my mind around the idea that there are these other me's out there doing.. stuff like that."
[18:14] * Sheena looks relifed the boss isnt pissed at her any more
[18:15] <Alathon> Usagi: "And.. I mean, of all of us, I should have the easiest time coming to grips with that."
[18:15] * Sheena hmms
[18:15] <Sheena> "Wonder what other me's would be doing.."
[18:15] <Mani> "Building things."
[18:15] * Mani grins.
[18:15] <Kuonji> "more like who..."
[18:15] <Alathon> Yuuno snickers.
[18:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You'd have six.. no, eight children, and be a devoted homemaker."
[18:16] <Kuonji> "She'd be a mooncat?"
[18:16] <Mani> "Only if she was very lucky."
[18:16] <Alathon> Usagi laughs a little.
[18:17] <Sheena> "Eh.. if i there was a mooncat me i bet she's learned how to keep the ears and tail out just to piss off all the other ones"
[18:17] <Mani> "Enh. We'd just figure you really sucked at taking human form."
[18:17] * Mani smirks.
[18:18] <Sheena> "To much into the chest eh?"
[18:18] <Mani> "Of course, if you really *do* want cat ears and a tail, maybe you can add them to your current body, since you made it from scratch."
[18:19] <Alathon> Reis: "Wouldn't that be rather.. youma-ish?"
[18:19] <Sheena> "Err, think the hairs enought.. bad enought im going to end up fighting with venus over thoes youma coments a lot"
[18:19] <Alathon> Usagi frowns a little.
[18:19] <Mani> "You're right. Without them, she blends so well."
[18:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "Actually.. Sheena, if you could stay in-building for just like.. half an hour, tops, while I get the word out, would that be cool?"
[18:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just to avoid, you know.. misunderstandings."
[18:20] * Sheena nods
[18:20] <Sheena> "Sure, Just let me know when i can fly south.. or when to meet pluto...'
[18:20] <Mani> (Sheena: "Why, yes, I would like to see your 'Silence Glaive'. Thank you.")
[18:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "The former, within the hour. The latter.. ought to be soon. I'll push Puu."
[18:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "If this doesn't involve her, it's best to clear the air as soon as possible."
[18:21] <Alathon> Usagi's expression darkens.
[18:21] <Alathon> usagi: "And if it does involve her, well, she can damned well own up, and the sooner the better."
[18:22] <Alathon> Usagi sighs.
[18:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "That stupid book.. I think it has us all jumping at shadows."
[18:22] <Sheena> "Would it be best to leave it alone it im just digginb up problems?"
[18:22] <Sheena> "After all, it has to be a bit widely know we're working for you'
[18:22] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at you.
[18:22] <Alathon> Usagi, sharply: "Oh, hell no."
[18:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "This is about who you are!"
[18:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "You deserve to know."
[18:23] <Mani> "I think it's very important to remember, that despite everything in that book, we're not like those other Crystal Tokyos in the important ways."
[18:23] * Sheena nods
[18:23] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani.
[18:23] <Alathon> Usagi: "Mostly.."
[18:23] <Alathon> usagi: "We haven't hesitated to lauch terrorist attacks at our enemies, have we?"
[18:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "We can pretty it up, but that's what we're doing.. small scale attacks where we think they'll hurt the most."
[18:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "and large scale attacks where we think we'll get the most bang for our buck."
[18:24] <Mani> "Is our goal to cause terror or to do damage?"
[18:24] <Mani> "Are we striking at civilians?"
[18:24] <Sheena> "True, but we didn't blast the one wedding.."
[18:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "No, our goal is to destroy an oppressive regime that has actively attacked our own people."
[18:25] <Mani> "Then I don't consider them terrorist attacks."
[18:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "Wedding?"
[18:25] <Alathon> (wait.. was Usagi on that mission, or was it Mercury? I think it was Mercury)
[18:25] <Mani> (Mercury.)
[18:25] <Alathon> (okay good)
[18:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "What we're doing isn't normal war though.. not in the way that most people think of."
[18:26] <Mani> "Most people don't know a thing about war."
[18:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "And if we aren't trying to kill civilians, we aren't angsting over collateral damage, either."
[18:26] <Alathon> Usagi pauses at that.
[18:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "yeah, you're probably right."
[18:26] <Mani> "At least not our people."
[18:26] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[18:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "and that's the way we like it, too. that's the way it ought to be."
[18:27] * Mani nods.
[18:27] <Mani> "And there was a wedding being held at one of the churches we were planning to attack with Mercury. We switched to a different target."
[18:28] <Alathon> Usagi smiles sadly.
[18:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose that's all we can really hope for.. a little decency, and restraint."
[18:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "
[18:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "and get things done the rest of the time."
[18:29] <Mani> "It's not an easy balance. I think those other dimensions prove that."
[18:29] <Kuonji> (you know, it would have been pretty funny had we hit it)
[18:29] <Alathon> (well, screaming and dying texans amuse me in the real world, but in game it would have been less amusing)
[18:29] <Mani> "But we're doing all right so far, and so long as we continue to worry about it, I think we have a good chance of continuing that wai."
[18:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "I hope so.."
[18:30] <Kuonji> (no wai)
[18:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just worrying isn't enough.. we have to mold our actions to match our ethics."
[18:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's not like our ethics or morals count for a damn if all they ammount to is feeling sorry after we do something."
[18:30] <Mani> "Of course."
[18:30] <Mani> "I didn't mean literally only worrying."
[18:30] <Alathon> Usagi sighs.
[18:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah.. anyways."
[18:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sheena, welcome back."
[18:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Your teammates can fill you in on what'll be coming next, in general terms. Specifics are yet to be determined."
[18:31] <Mani> (I forget what's coming next. :) )
[18:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Give me.. hm. An hour, to make sure all the Senshi know what you look like."
[18:32] <Alathon> (they decided to capture old American Empire ballistic missile sites and use them to bring the UST to it's knees.)
[18:32] <Mani> (Oh, that's right.)
[18:33] <Kuonji> (say what? O_O)
[18:33] <Alathon> (that was last game)
[18:33] <Alathon> (you missed it?)
[18:33] <Kuonji> (for some reason I really don't remember that...)
[18:33] <Kuonji> (at all)
[18:33] <Alathon> (heh)
[18:33] <Alathon> (good)
[18:33] <Rockman_Zero> (That's... a really awesome idea. ;p)
[18:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "So.. do you have any questions you want to ask me, well.. other than you already have?"
[18:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Or shall we consider this meeting finished?"
[18:34] <Mani> "Well, if we're going to the Bar, we'll need the SLU storage device..."
[18:34] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[18:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Which means a meeting with Pluto."
[18:34] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Sheena.
[18:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Could you arrange that when you see her?"
[18:34] <Mani> "Yeah."
[18:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "If you haven't guessed, I'm aiming for sometime today."
[18:36] <Sheena> "Any times good.. i guess tracking down celeste is going to end up a big project'
[18:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "I hope not.."
[18:37] <Mani> "You might get lucky, but better to be prepared."
[18:37] <Mani> (Sheena: "I'm planning to get lucky when I find her.")
[18:38] <Sheena> "WOuld be nice.'
[18:39] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[18:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "In that case, I'll get to work arranging things."
[18:39] <Alathon> Usagi stands up.
[18:39] <Alathon> She grabs her comm and stashes it, then walks over to the catering cart and piles a plate high with assorted foodstuffs.
[18:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "If there's anything else, don't hesitate to comm."
[18:40] <Alathon> She leaves.
[18:40] <Mani> "And you know, Sheena, for what you have before you, I'll give you whatever support you want or need."
[18:40] * Mani smiles slowly.
[18:40] <Mani> "Short of actually going with you to meet Pluto, that is."
[18:41] * Mani shrugs slightly.
[18:41] <Mani> "Actually, if you want me to give you moral support on the *way* to meeting her, I'm perfectly willing."
[18:42] <Mani> (Sheena's speechless.)
[18:42] <Alathon> (apparently ;p )
[18:42] <Sheena> "Did'nt think you bothered with us two legers,"
[18:43] <Sheena> "Say.. can you do some crystal chopsitcks? lets see if i can bother with normal food"
[18:43] <Mani> "Haven't met any around here that I'm attracted to sexually? Is that really the kind of support you need?"
[18:44] * Sheena shakes her head,
[18:44] <Sheena> "Nah, was just teasen"
[18:44] <Mani> "Now, some of the two leggers at the Bar were really hot..."
[18:46] <Mani> (Oh, 1st ? in the earlier line shouldn't have been one.)
[18:47] <Sheena> (that pluto thing a solo some time?)
[18:48] * Mani makes a pair of chopsticks that (barring DM veto) start off purple at the tops, shift to green, and then to pink at the tips.
[18:48] * Mani gives them to Sheena.
[18:49] <Sheena> "Neato, guess ill see if i can eat while waiting"
[18:50] <Mani> "Um... be careful not to burn yourself on the food."
[18:50] <Alathon> (and yeah, the pluto thing would be a solo)
[18:50] * Mani helps herself to some of the food.
[18:50] <Alathon> Reis: "Yeah.. chew and swallow quick."
[18:51] <Alathon> If that's all
[18:51] <Alathon> End here.
[18:53] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[18:53] <Mani> Started out really slow/rough but got good.
[18:53] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[18:55] <Alathon> yeah
[18:55] <Alathon> speaking of which
[18:55] <Alathon> 3050 exp for the session
[18:55] <Alathon> +1000 exp to Sheena for being on time
[18:56] <Alathon> +2000 exp to Mani for being on time twice
