welcome to #suburbansenshi2
[00:13] <spiritflame> Matsumi Kaze rolls 1d20 [ 7 ]
[00:13] <mango-san> (( reroll? ))
[00:13] <mango-san> !yai
[00:13] Wisdom from the Book of Yai:
[00:26] * Yaijinden is struck by a Horrible Idea * Yaijinden quickly trademarks Horrible Idea™ Some time ago, the WWF gathered a new group of wrestler-types under the banner of some freaky puritan cult-y thing. I think, for horribleness's sake, I'm going to adopt that sort of flag-waiving attitude. I mean, I know the rhetoric by heart. I can spout hate at a moment's notice anyway. Actually, if I still think it's a neato idea tomorrow, I'm going to pick it up and run. And if I run... this chatbox is going to be family friendly whether people want it to be or not. MUWAHAHA!
[00:13] * Back to-- S[BLEEP]T F[BLEEP]K IT REROLL THAT ONE
[00:13] <spiritflame> The Magistra rolls 1d20 [ 17 ]
[00:13] <spiritflame> mango-san rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]
[00:13] <spiritflame> Nelius Raoul rolls 1d20 [ 16 ]
[00:13] <spiritflame> @The Intern rolls 1d20 [ 19 ]
[00:13] <spiritflame> Matsumi Kaze rolls 1d20 [ 13 ]
[00:14] * The screech of the crack tearing open is horrible. What comes through is worse. Much worse.
[00:14] <Nelius Raoul> .....oh hell.
[00:14] * The shadows that engulf the room creep line tentacles
[00:14] <Nelius Raoul> Anyone in favor of letting this go back?
[00:14] *** Nightfall has joined #suburbansenshi2
[00:14] <@spiritflame> konbanwa nightfall
[00:14] * mango-san looks at Nightfall.
[00:14] *** Nightfall is truly hard to describe. No, really. A woman, curvy, tattooed, in a dress, limbs armored. But the shadows that twist around her cover what she chooses. Few moments you can catch her eyes, black and slit like a cat's behind her scars and tattoos.
Her image Song is: Nightfall by XANDRIA.
[00:15] <Nelius Raoul> ...too late, it would seem.
[00:15] * mango-san nearly s[BLEEP]ts her pants
[00:15] <Matsumi Kaze> ...................
[00:15] <@The Intern> ....Interesting.
[00:15] <Nelius Raoul> This is.... not going to go well.
[00:15] <Nightfall> ♦ You're daring.
[00:16] <Nelius Raoul> So this is the Nightfall that Aster summoned.
[00:16] <@The Intern> As are you~
[00:16] <Nelius Raoul> (There's that feeling again...)
[00:16] * @The Intern rapidly texts The Co-Ord...
[00:16] * Nightfall laughs. It echoes and fades into the distance.
[00:16] <Nightfall> ♦ Summoned?
[00:16] * The Actuary sliiides out of the shadows
[00:16] <Matsumi Kaze> ......
[00:16] * The Actuary is behind Neminix
[00:16] * Nightfall rips the shadows from around Noriko.
[00:17] <Nightfall> ♦ Hello girl.
[00:17] * The Actuary was already out of thehm. You're slow.
[00:17] <Nelius Raoul> She pretty much opened up a crack. I could feel you behind it.
[00:17] <The Actuary> Hello.
[00:17] * Nightfall removed any escape. She knows her ways.
[00:17] * The Actuary regards this 'Nightfall'
[00:17] * The Actuary has no intention of running.
[00:17] * The Magistra sends a text message
[00:17] <Nightfall> ♦ I open them.
[00:17] <The Nocturne> Did you get Mother a birthday gift~?
[00:18] * Something starts to tug at the shaodows, figthing for control over them
[00:18] <The Actuary> So you are the one behind this interesting merger of universes.
[00:18] * Matsumi Kaze feels like she wants to run....
[00:18] * Nightfall hisses between her teeth and rips the shadows around herself like a cloak. None shall take them.
[00:18] <The Actuary> You wish to be an independent being?
[00:18] <Nightfall> ♦ I wish to be remembered. For eternity. Etched into the stars.
[00:19] * Something continues to tug and tear at the shadows.
[00:19] <The Actuary> So did Ozymandias.
[00:19] <Nelius Raoul> Though are you looking for remembrance.... or infamy?
[00:19] * Matsumi Kaze tries to run but is stopped ><
[00:19] <The Actuary> If you destroy all this, who will remember you?
[00:19] * The Nocturne snickers.
[00:19] <The Actuary> Who will be left to speak your name.
[00:20] <Nightfall> ♦ Whoever dares to toy with me is asking for death. I give a single warning of such things.
[00:20] * Nightfall turns her attention back to her foolish blood.
[00:20] * The Actuary holds up her hands to make it clear it's not her.
[00:20] <The Nocturne> They really don't know, do they?
[00:20] <Nightfall> ♦ Destroy? I seek not to destroy. I intend to rewrite.
[00:20] <Matsumi Kaze> ...a crisis?
[00:20] <The Actuary> The replacement you're creating is hardly stable.
[00:20] <Nightfall> ♦ Of course they do not, dear Nocturne.
[00:21] <The Actuary> Of course we don't.
[00:21] <The Actuary> I seek to learn.
[00:21] <Nightfall> ♦ To replace you must shatter the old, and I am hardly doing the work shattering.
[00:21] * Nightfall grins, baring fangs.
[00:21] * The Actuary just maintains an icy gaze
[00:21] <Nelius Raoul> (Rewrite? I call BS.)
[00:22] <The Actuary> Your horror-terrors...
[00:22] <The Actuary> are they the new citizens of your new universe?
[00:22] <The Actuary> A dead past, kept on shambling via life support?
[00:22] <Nightfall> ♦ not all are mine. I give them hope.
[00:22] * Matsumi Kaze starts to hyperventalate a bit
[00:23] <The Actuary> What manner of hope?
[00:23] <The Nocturne> Heh.
[00:23] <The Nocturne> What's wrong~?
[00:23] <The Nocturne> Remembering the past a bit?
[00:23] <Matsumi Kaze> O___O *wheeze*
[00:23] <Nightfall> ♦ A chance to live again.
[00:23] <Nightfall> ♦ Those who serve me are to be rewarded.
[00:23] <The Actuary> We can do that as well.
[00:23] <The Nocturne> Remembering those dying parts of yourself that you denied?
[00:23] <The Actuary> constantine made the offer.
[00:23] <The Nocturne> Is that what's got you panicking, Matsy?
[00:24] <The Actuary> New bodies.
[00:24] <The Actuary> New worlds.
[00:24] <Nelius Raoul> (Matsumi's sounding not so good.... this must be anathema to her.)
[00:24] <The Actuary> I wouldn't mock her.
[00:24] <Nightfall> ♦ Can you? Can you return their pasts? Their dreams?
[00:24] <The Actuary> You know what she'll turn into.
[00:24] <The Actuary> If they remember, then yes.
[00:24] <The Actuary> The past is a two edged sword.
[00:24] <Matsumi Kaze> @__@
[00:24] <Nightfall> ♦ It is.
[00:24] <The Actuary> you're not the only one who can mine it.
[00:25] * The Magistra texts Nori ◜Don't react. A freind is in postion. The momemnt you're finshed talking, they'll put a dagger in her heart.◞
[00:25] <Nightfall> ♦ I do not mine it. It comes to me.
[00:25] * Nelius Raoul stands by Matsumi.
[00:25] * The Actuary rexts back "Do that and I'll kill you
[00:25] * The Actuary raises an eyebrow
[00:25] <The Actuary> Comes to you...
[00:26] <The Actuary> (she may well be a nexus point)
[00:26] <The Actuary> What hope do you havem Nightfall?
[00:26] <The Actuary> What inspires you?
[00:26] <Nightfall> ♦ I have been given a chance. That is all I need to 'inspire' me.
[00:26] <The Actuary> Your current form is impressive...
[00:27] <The Actuary> but how stable is it, I wonder?
[00:27] <The Actuary> Well... I don't know "who" you are now, but I believe I know who you were.
[00:27] * Nightfall laughs. It echoes.
[00:27] <Nightfall> ♦ you cannot make me fear you.
[00:27] <The Actuary> And I would rather end this with everyone walking away in one piece. Including yourself.
[00:28] <The Actuary> That wasn't my intention.
[00:28] <The Actuary> I merely point out that we could accomplish more together than at loggerheads.
[00:29] <The Actuary> You have appointed yourself a herculean task.
[00:29] <The Magistra> ?
[00:29] <Nightfall> ♦ Your people do my work for me.
[00:29] <The Actuary> How so.
[00:29] <Nightfall> ♦ From the moment I appeared you ripped through worlds and dragged people back here.
[00:30] <Nightfall> ♦ You twisted the world to suit your needs.
[00:30] <Nightfall> ♦ Kept pieces and discarded those you do not desire.
[00:30] <Nightfall> ♦ Were you not almost part of what caught us, Noriko?
[00:30] <The Actuary> Almost.
[00:30] <The Actuary> Very close to it.
[00:30] <The Actuary> The universe kept trying to erase me, even after that.
[00:31] <The Actuary> It was, bluntly, ridiculous.
[00:31] <The Actuary> but I stand here as a defiance of that whirlwind.
[00:31] <Nightfall> ♦ As. Do. I.
[00:31] <The Actuary> Of all whirlwinds.
[00:31] * The Actuary strikes her sword against the ground
[00:32] <The Actuary> There's not just a rewriting going on.
[00:32] <The Actuary> The two universes have been slowly intersecting.
[00:32] <The Actuary> The tearing from one end the other, the takings, the intrusions...
[00:32] <Nightfall> ♦ And I was told that was my time to strike.
[00:32] <The Actuary> Something new is being born.
[00:32] <The Actuary> told by whom?
[00:33] <The Magistra> Neggera? Some other Rogue DM. This has their handy work writtten all over it.
[00:33] <The Actuary> It's been a long time since you were a mere minion.
[00:33] <Nightfall> ♦ I AM NO MERE MINION.
[00:33] <The Actuary> I refuse to believe you inhabit that role now.
[00:33] <The Nocturne> Minion?
[00:33] <The Actuary> Exactly.
[00:33] <The Nocturne> Wow.
[00:33] * Nightfall roars the words, voice booming.
[00:33] <The Actuary> you aren't.
[00:34] <The Actuary> So whose words are driving you forward?
[00:34] * @The Intern watches this, nervously eating a bruschetta.
[00:35] <Nightfall> ♦ NO ONE DRIVES ME BUT MY OWN WILL.
[00:35] <The Actuary> Yet you say you were told to strike.
[00:35] * Nightfall flexes her gauntlets. The crack behind her rips bigger.
[00:36] <Matsumi Kaze> @___@ *wheeeeeeeeeeeeeze*
[00:36] <The Actuary> This is a contradiction.
[00:36] * The Shadow cloak seems to tighten around Nightfall of it's own accord. Whatever was playing with them before, it's still here.
[00:36] <The Nocturne> Advised.
[00:36] <Nelius Raoul> (Damn, Matsumi's really suffering in here. Something is very off.)
[00:36] <The Nocturne> Have you not consulted an advisor?
[00:36] <The Actuary> Hmm.
[00:36] * Nightfall seethes. The room seems to grow hotter, darker.
[00:36] * The Actuary looks at that Shadow cloak very cvarefully.
[00:37] * The Iconoclast 's tendrils pull at that cloak
[00:37] <Nelius Raoul> (Left like this, Matsumi's going to be cooked alive.)
[00:37] * Nightfall twists her hand backwards and grips Iconoclast's head.
[00:37] * The Nocturne makes like the wind and slices at Iconoclast.
[00:37] <spiritflame> The Nocturne rolls 1d20 [ 20 ]
[00:37] <Nightfall> ♦ I warned you.
[00:38] * The Iconoclast is torn in HALF O_O
[00:38] * The Iconoclast leaks all over the floor
[00:38] * Nelius Raoul puts his hand on Matsumi's back, cooling her down with a weakened Ice.
[00:38] * The Iconoclast leaks theough the floorboards
[00:38] * Nightfall pulls the Iconoclast's upper half from the shadows and drops him.
[00:38] <spiritflame> Matsumi Kaze rolls 1d10 [ 4 ]
[00:38] * The Iconoclast is away: re-agglomerating
[00:38] * Nelius Raoul looks at The Iconoclast.
[00:38] *** The Iconoclast is
His image Song is: 'HellSing'.
[00:38] * Matsumi Kaze vomits
[00:38] <Nightfall> ♦ Thank you, my dear daughter.
[00:38] * The Iconoclast 's upper half drops
[00:39] <Nelius Raoul> .....(Oh hell, Matsumi's sick.)
[00:39] * Someone else rises from the shadow, aims to drive a dagger into Nightfall's side
[00:39] <The Actuary> I didn't call him.
[00:39] <Nightfall> ♦ Not you girl.
[00:39] * The Actuary hurls a kunai at the person aiming to strike
[00:39] <The Actuary> Hmph.
[00:39] * Nightfall holds out a hand to Nocturne.
[00:39] <The Actuary> So you've adopted that one, eh?
[00:40] * The Nocturne accepts,
[00:40] <The Actuary> Well let me tell you something.
[00:40] <The Actuary> Once, I tore the timeline apart for you.
[00:40] <spiritflame> Matsumi Kaze rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[00:40] * Someone else is now known as MistressOfShaodows
[00:40] * Matsumi Kaze falls onto her knees, dry heaving
[00:41] <The Actuary> this time, I will complete the circle.
[00:41] <Nelius Raoul> ....crap.
[00:41] * MistressOfShaodows recoils, the dagger knocked from her hand.
[00:41] * Nightfall draws in the shadows and heat, quelling the feel of the room.
[00:41] <The Actuary> I will save you, and these universes.
[00:41] * Nelius Raoul picks Matsumi up, moving her away from Nightfall.
[00:41] * MistressOfShaodows is now known as MistressOfShadows
[00:41] <MistressOfShadows> (( It helps if I spell the nick correctly ))
[00:41] <Nightfall> ♦ Then all the best to you. I await your move.
[00:41] * Matsumi Kaze is sweating hard
[00:41] * The Actuary bows
[00:42] <Nightfall> ♦ Shall we go return to that pesky slave you fetched, daughter?
[00:42] * Nelius Raoul gets to work on helping cool Matsumi down.
[00:42] <The Actuary> To you as well, [i]Mother[.i].
[00:42] <The Nocturne> Sounds divine~
[00:42] * The Iconoclast again seeps through the floor to reconstitute
[00:42] <Nelius Raoul> (Whew, she's way too warm. Did she eat something that disagreed with her?)
[00:43] * The Iconoclast is away: OW S[BLEEP]T F[BLEEP]K
[00:43] <Nightfall> ♦ You deserve a reward for your service.
[00:43] * Nightfall slips back through the crack.
[00:43] * Matsumi Kaze is actually having cold sweats
[00:43] <Nelius Raoul> (Or is it Nightfall's presence that's making her sick?)
[00:43] * The Actuary watches this coldly.
[00:43] <The Nocturne> Looking forward to it.
[00:43] * The Nocturne waves them off
[00:43] *** The Nocturne [blackest.night] has quit IRC (The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets.)
[00:43] <The Actuary> Neminix.
[00:44] <The Actuary> thoughts.
[00:44] * The crack shrinks to its normal size.
[00:44] <@The Intern> ...
[00:44] * MistressOfShadows nurses her wounded hand
[00:44] * Nelius Raoul sets to work on trying to fix what ails Matsumi.
[00:44] <@The Intern> A very large ego.
[00:44] <MistressOfShadows> Foolish girl, we could have ended this now.
[00:44] <@The Intern> (but that seems to run int he family)
[00:44] <The Actuary> That would have done nothing,
[00:44] * Nelius Raoul looks at MistressofShadows.
[00:44] *** MistressofShadows is is a woman in her mid to late 20s. Her long black hair covers half her face. She's wearing a strapless purple and black dress. Her name is Zennay
Her image Song is: .
[00:44] * Matsumi Kaze is still hyperventilating
[00:44] <The Actuary> Save your efforts for where they'll matter.
[00:45] * Nelius Raoul turns his attention back to Matsumi.
[00:45] <MistressOfShadows> It would have let you clean up the mess whiout interference
[00:45] <@The Intern> It would seem she wants to precipitate another crisis.
[00:45] * Matsumi Kaze sits up...
[00:46] <Matsumi Kaze> have...*wheeze* theory *wheeeeeeze*
[00:46] <Nelius Raoul> Matsumi?
[00:46] <Nelius Raoul> Be right back.
[00:46] <@The Intern> I find it interesting that all the HorrorTerrors are not hers.
[00:46] <The Actuary> What's the Theory.
[00:46] * Nelius Raoul dashes to the kitchen, getting a glass of water. He returns, offering it to her.
[00:46] * Matsumi Kaze is breathing hard...
[00:46] * Matsumi Kaze drinks it down..her breathing slowing...
[00:46] <@The Intern> Could we make use of that division?
[00:46] <Matsumi Kaze> ..think..she wants to bring back the original universe..replace ours with it
[00:47] <The Actuary> 1337 AB?
[00:47] <Matsumi Kaze> she's bringing the horror terrors so they become the dominate versions..not ours
[00:47] * MistressOfShadows wraps a shadow tendril around Magistra's arm an pulls her twords herself. "You owe me for this Razal. Remember this"
[00:47] <Matsumi Kaze> or they're coming that way
[00:47] <Matsumi Kaze> or something
[00:47] <Matsumi Kaze> *coughs*
[00:48] <The Actuary> Well there's a definite crossover effect.
[00:48] <Nelius Raoul> ....
[00:48] <The Actuary> But could the vortex even take the strain...
[00:48] <The Actuary> A reversal of that magnitude...
[00:48] <The Magistra> I am aware. I shall pay my dues to the Sages of Darkness later.
[00:48] * The Actuary starts doing some calcuations
[00:49] <Nelius Raoul> (...great, got a war on two fronts. First the Rain-Aster conflict, now the Nightfall... if there is some third party pulling strings here.....)
[00:49] <MistressoOfShadows> Not to the sages of darkness. I came here as a personal favor. You shall owe me.
[00:49] <The Actuary> It's not... as simple as she might think.
[00:50] <The Actuary> Exponential power increases over time since the divergence have created far more resistant beings...
[00:50] <The Actuary> I'd estmate she could roll back 99.999%... but the remainder would be troublesome.
[00:51] <Matsumi Kaze> not if she killed the 1%?
[00:51] <The Actuary> Not to mention several beings who aren't even in this multiverse currently.
[00:51] <The Actuary> Part of that 1% is rei.bot and IGNIS
[00:51] <The Actuary> Not a simple task, even for her.
[00:51] <The Actuary> And even if she tried they could leave.
[00:52] <@The Intern> the problem is...
[00:52] <Nelius Raoul> (There must be something we're overlooking.)
[00:52] <@The Intern> The exatrillions that would be lost...
[00:52] <@The Intern> What's the point if only three people make it?
[00:52] <The Actuary> Agreed.
[00:52] <The Actuary> Honestly, I don't understand the production.
[00:53] <The Actuary> We have the ability to save them. She should know that.
[00:53] <The Actuary> What benefit is there to reviving 1337 AB?
[00:53] <The Actuary> no, she'd have to rewrite to something else.
[00:53] <Nelius Raoul> What's in 1337 AB anyway?
[00:53] <Mew> You could save me. But you can't give me back my husband or daughter.
[00:53] <Mew> Or her.
[00:54] <The Actuary> Have you looked at the universe?
[00:54] <The Magistra> Sure you can'
[00:54] <The Actuary> this is the perfect time to do just that.
[00:54] <The Magistra> *can.
[00:54] <Matsumi Kaze> what about rewriting xadium?
[00:54] <The Actuary> A door's been opened.
[00:54] <The Magistra> Do you know HOW many ways there are to reive someone
[00:54] <Matsumi Kaze> he seems to be at the center of our verse...sort of
[00:54] <mango-san> Some things you can't bring back...
[00:54] <The Actuary> We have access... unprecedented access.
[00:54] <Mew> They're not dead. They don't exist tied to me.
[00:54] <The Actuary> Only if you're weak of will and imagination.
[00:54] <Mew> My daughter doesn't exist at f[BLEEP]king all.
[00:55] <The Magistra> meh, detials
[00:55] <The Actuary> So are you sayign she intends to bring back that time period?
[00:55] <The Actuary> When she was married to Solarchos?
[00:55] <mango-san> Hmm.
[00:55] <mango-san> I think.
[00:55] <The Actuary> Because that's going to end so well.
[00:55] <mango-san> Are you familiar with the idea that is Madoka?
[00:55] <Mew> Ahahah she's not f[BLEEP]king stupid.
[00:55] <Matsumi Kaze> yuck
[00:55] <The Actuary> Passingly.
[00:55] <The Actuary> I didn't think so.
[00:56] <The Actuary> So she has to be aiming for something else.
[00:56] <Nelius Raoul> ....where are you going with this?
[00:56] <The Actuary> ....Wait.
[00:56] <The Actuary> Are you saying she's become this huge multiversal nexus?
[00:57] <The Actuary> that due to the rewrites she's become a gravitational center of timelines?
[00:57] <@The Intern> ...
[00:57] <@The Intern> (That could be bad....)
[00:57] <Matsumi Kaze> but that means if we hurt her..it could all collapse..
[00:57] <Nelius Raoul> ....are you saying she's become reality itself?
[00:58] <The Actuary> MAtsumi, we're holding things together in a box.
[00:58] <The Actuary> The vortex is kind of shredded already.
[00:58] <Matsumi Kaze> but how long will that box last?
[00:58] <Mew> And I'm f[BLEEP]king amazed she hasn't already decided she wanted a TARDIS of her own from that damn box.
[00:58] <@The Intern> that wouldn't be fasilbe.
[00:58] <@The Intern> That TARDIS is dying.
[00:59] <mango-san> I think she seeks to destroy everything and then restore it.
[00:59] <Mew> Hey she f[BLEEP]king rips apart the universe to make doors. I'm so done questioning what she can't f[BLEEP]king do.
[00:59] <mango-san> But rewritten with that goal in mind.
[00:59] <Matsumi Kaze> then what hope do we have to beat her???
[00:59] <The Actuary> So basically she's Shinji after Third Impact.
[00:59] <Matsumi Kaze> if she's that powerful!
[01:00] <The Actuary> We have to change ehr mind.
[01:00] <Matsumi Kaze> ...but...can we....
[01:00] <Nelius Raoul> Matsumi, there's always a way to succeed.
[01:00] <Mew> Also I smelled the Runner girl all over her.
[01:00] <@The Intern> June 28th is when the plasmic shell of that TARDIS shatters.
[01:00] <Nelius Raoul> It's never always present right off, but there is a way.
[01:00] <Matsumi Kaze> ...I don't know.....I don't know if we can V_V
[01:00] <mango-san> ...
[01:00] * Matsumi Kaze sniffles and runs upstairs
[01:00] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi2 (><)
[01:01] <The Actuary> Hmm.
[01:01] <mango-san> Nocturne said the slave, didn't she?
[01:01] <Nelius Raoul> ......
[01:01] <Mew> That's what I heard.
[01:01] <mango-san> Or she mentioned a new slave.
[01:01] <Nelius Raoul> Hisoka, or someone else?
[01:01] * The Actuary shakes her head
[01:01] <mango-san> That might account for two of the three.
[01:01] <mango-san> Hisoka is a runner.
[01:01] <mango-san> Mist running.
[01:01] <The Actuary> She's behaving so much like those Nedean Scientists.
[01:02] <The Actuary> Taking "slaves"
[01:02] <Mew> If it helps she comes by that s[BLEEP]t honestly.
[01:02] <The Actuary> I know that.
[01:02] <The Actuary> but it hurts.
[01:02] <The Actuary> She's better than that.
[01:02] <The Actuary> If past her could see her now...
[01:03] <The Actuary> She wouldn't tolerate this excess.
[01:03] <Mew> The only thing that kept Darkness good was the fact that she couldn't live without Shaldra.
[01:03] <Mew> You do know what, right?
[01:03] <Mew> She talked to me about it once.
[01:03] <Mew> Back in the day.
[01:03] <The Actuary> I don't believe it.
[01:03] <The Actuary> I don't care what she was made to be.
[01:03] <The Actuary> There was more to her.
[01:04] <mango-san> Well.
[01:04] <Mew> It's hard to fight that, Nori.
[01:04] <mango-san> This might get interesting.
[01:04] <The Actuary> And besides, she was split out once before.
[01:04] * mango-san puts on sunglasses.
[01:04] <The Actuary> She was given a fulls et of lives.
[01:04] * mango-san gets a text from Nyx.
[01:04] <The Actuary> And she was fine.
[01:04] <Mew> And had to go back because she was dieing.
[01:04] <The Actuary> Tch.
[01:05] * Mew glances to Mango.
[01:05] <The Actuary> then how is she in any way complete n----
[01:05] <Mew> What's up with rainbow-hair?
[01:05] * The Actuary 's blood runs cold
[01:05] <The Actuary> Is she trying to rebuild herself by refusing with the others on her own terms?
[01:05] <mango-san> She's missing her boy toy.
[01:06] <Mew> Oh for the love of f[BLEEP]k.
[01:06] <mango-san> I can't help that he got erased when Jedda killed Elda.
[01:06] <Nelius Raoul> ?
[01:06] <mango-san> F[BLEEP]king a.
[01:06] <The Magistra> And now I'm totally lost again
[01:06] * The Actuary gets lost in thought and calculation
[01:06] <The Magistra> +
[01:07] <@The Intern> Was her "toy" one of the Asters?
[01:07] <Mew> Listen I'll go hunt down some guys and see if I can find one good enough if you keep her settled for a while.
[01:07] <mango-san> Ly Aster.
[01:07] <Nelius Raoul> Keeran?
[01:07] <mango-san> Recluse.
[01:07] <mango-san> The unspoken brother of the aster twins.
[01:08] <The Actuary> So Aunt Mew.
[01:08] <Nelius Raoul> .....(Guess I'm more out of the loop than I thought.)
[01:08] <The Actuary> What do you think she intends to put in place of this universe?
[01:08] <mango-san> Ly Aster
[01:09] <@The Intern> (I've never seen the Co-Ordinator look so visibly shaken before)
[01:09] <Mew> That crazy shadowf[BLEEP]ker? She's where the ego came from. The girl wanted to be more than "That bit of this person" or "that minion" or "that piece".
[01:09] <Mew> Got a one-on-one with her one time over beers.
[01:10] * The Actuary looks really... upset
[01:11] <The Actuary> A body of her own wouldn't be good enough for her?
[01:11] <The Actuary> As in, a real one?
[01:11] <Mew> I doubt it.
[01:11] * The Actuary tightens a fist
[01:11] <Mew> Shal's head was kind'a messed up-- but that's probably something you know.
[01:11] * The Actuary nods
[01:11] <Mew> A huge power struggle. She got good with dealing with it.
[01:11] * mango-san is away: Woman, you've got four days, can't you just rely on hello kitty?
[01:12] <Mew> The more bits she had the harder it was to keep them all down.
[01:12] * mango-san is back
[01:12] <The Actuary> It sounds to me like you're implying.... that Darkness is irredeemable...
[01:12] <Mew> But she knew if she let them out s[BLEEP]t would happen. It was why she got so cold.
[01:12] <mango-san> So she wanted to be rid of them all?
[01:13] <Mew> The power's in the trio. That's just fact.
[01:13] <The Actuary> Well they're split out...
[01:13] <The Actuary> Why is Nightfall so atrong?
[01:13] <mango-san> There's three of them.
[01:13] <The Actuary> ^strong
[01:13] <mango-san> There's three splinters of Indigo.
[01:13] <Mew> She's got someone else on her back then.
[01:13] <The Actuary> Mania?
[01:14] <mango-san> Hey what do you think if all six of them were in the same room?
[01:14] <Mew> Judging by how f[BLEEP]king horny she smelled I'm gonna guess she's feeding off Mania.
[01:14] <Nelius Raoul> (Id, Ego, Superego?)
[01:14] <Mew> Either it would be a really, really f[BLEEP]king sexy orgy or a bloodbath.
[01:14] <The Actuary> But Surely Mania isn't THAT strong.
[01:14] <The Actuary> I mean...
[01:14] <Mew> If Nightfall wins it's both.
[01:14] <The Actuary> this is universe rewriting levels of Power.
[01:14] <mango-san> ...
[01:14] <mango-san> Mania's pretty f[BLEEP]king strong.
[01:15] <Mew> She did overcome all three of them before.
[01:15] <mango-san> In the position she has right now?
[01:15] <The Magistra> You mean the shapeshifting transexual neatherbeeast?
[01:15] <The Actuary> Darkness + Mamia STILL doesn't = universe rending goddess.
[01:15] <mango-san> She's got some cosmic s[BLEEP]t at her will.
[01:15] <mango-san> Heh.
[01:15] <Mew> I-- what? No.
[01:15] <mango-san> Who do you know lately has been on a power trip?
[01:15] <@The Intern> Co-Ordinator... Isn't "Mania" a mythological bring?
[01:15] <@The Intern> ^being
[01:16] <The Actuary> Power trips here are a dime a dozen.
[01:16] <The Actuary> You'll need to narrow it down.
[01:16] <The Actuary> Rain?
[01:16] <The Magistra> Krphxyzwlps?
[01:16] <mango-san> Rain has been sitting in that dimension.
[01:16] <Nelius Raoul> Jinan Aster?
[01:16] <mango-san> Waiting.
[01:17] <mango-san> Not doing s[BLEEP]t.
[01:17] <The Actuary> Well then who else is it
[01:17] <mango-san> /I don't know who the keyboard smash was
[01:17] <mango-san> but Jinan Aster is a pretty reasonable guess.
[01:17] <Mew> The only two doing s[BLEEP]t seems to be Nightfall's daughter thingy and Jinan.
[01:17] <The Actuary> Jinan Aster.
[01:17] * The Magistra said Ker-fixy-whelps
[01:18] <@The Intern> Co-Ordinator, we ssupect she may have created a predestination paradox.
[01:18] <The Actuary> ...Marvelous.
[01:18] <The Actuary> Why hasn't she been caught, again?
[01:18] <@The Intern> ...
[01:18] <@The Intern> You put me on this assignment, ma'am.
[01:18] <Mew> The Runner dashed in the first time.
[01:19] * The Actuary groans
[01:19] *** Sarah Asley has joined #suburbansenshi2

[01:19] <Sarah Asley> We actually had a talk recently!
[01:19] <Sarah Asley> She and I
[01:19] <Nelius Raoul> ...this might not be the best time to mention this, but she was here. Some woman carted her off for a discussion-- there she is!
[01:19] <Sarah Asley> But let's not talk about that now, it's almost two in the morning!
[01:19] <Sarah Asley> You should all be going to bed, now.
[01:19] <Sarah Asley> Shoo.
[01:19] <The Actuary> ... Quite.
[01:19] <Sarah Asley> Shoo.
[01:20] <The Actuary> I'll be off shortly.
[01:20] * The Actuary pads over silently to Neminix
[01:20] * Sarah Asley shoos you all to bed
[01:20] <Mew> Listen, Nori. If you need info on my sister's head I suggest you talk to Kusa.
[01:20] *** Sarah Asley has left #suburbansenshi2
[01:20] <The Actuary> I will.
[01:21] <The Actuary> Thank you.

[01:21] <The Actuary> On me. for old time's sake.
[01:22] * Mew catches it with a grin.

[01:22] <The Actuary> Agreed.
[01:22] <Mew> Let's move, Mango.

[01:25] <@The Intern> Hmm? Yes.
[01:25] * @The Intern slides back in really fast
[01:25] <Nelius Raoul> Well, I remembered-- according to Roman mythology, Mania was a goddess of the dead.
[01:25] <Nelius Raoul> Ruled the Underworld alongside Mantus.
[01:26] <mango-san> Mania's the name Yai gave her
[01:26] <Nelius Raoul> Mother of ghosts, undead, and many other night spirits.
[01:26] <mango-san> Just so you know

[01:27] <@The Intern> I'm going to head off, I'll need to check the Time Proof Safes for more information.

[09:29] <@The Intern> Not well. I need your help.

[09:29] <@spiritflame> ohayo matsuo shin
[09:29] * @Doctor Xadium is not used to her so easily voicing discomfort.
[09:29] * Matsuo Shin wanders in and sits down, pulling out two decks of cards
[09:29] <@Doctor Xadium> What's wrong?
[09:29] * Matsuo Shin shuffles one of them and pulls out a card
[09:30] <spiritflame> Matsuo Shin rolls 1d22 [ 14 ]
[09:30] <@The Intern> What do you know about a being named "Mania?"
[09:30] * @Doctor Xadium 's expression changes a bit.
[09:30] * @Doctor Xadium
[09:30] * @Doctor Xadium 's face becomes unreadable.
[09:31] <@Doctor Xadium> Barely anything, except for the name.
[09:31] * @The Intern notes the reaction
[09:31] <Matsuo Shin> .............
[09:31] <@The Intern> Forgive me, but your expression seems to denote otherwise.
[09:31] <@The Intern> Hello Matsuo...
[09:31] <@The Intern> Did you have any luck with the research from last night?
[09:32] <Matsuo Shin> which research, be more specific
[09:32] <@Doctor Xadium> (Of course she wouldn't know. Who does, really. Not even me, properly.)
[09:32] <@The Intern> On the symbolism of the Arcana in Tarot?
[09:32] <Matsuo Shin> yes I did
[09:33] <Matsuo Shin> I bought this at a local store this morning
[09:33] * Matsuo Shin holds up one deck of cards..a thick one "this is the minor arcana..."
[09:33] <Matsuo Shin> it is 56 cards...very similer in some ways to a regular deck of cards
[09:34] * @The Intern listens
[09:34] <Matsuo Shin> the cards, when used in telling the future, are said to represent the mundane aspects of life
[09:35] <Matsuo Shin> small events, everyday occurances, that sort of thing
[09:35] * @The Intern nods, listening carefully
[09:35] * Matsuo Shin holds up a smaller deck
[09:36] <Matsuo Shin> this is the Major Arcana...22 cards are in this one...it's the most well known of the two
[09:37] <Matsuo Shin> the major, as it suggests, represents large turning points in existance...the stages of an individual's life
[09:38] <Matsuo Shin> events which can alter fate
[09:38] <@The Intern> The notes that you made last night...
[09:38] <@The Intern> I'm wondering.
[09:38] * Matsuo Shin looks again at the card he drew and sets it aside
[09:38] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[09:39] <@The Intern> There are 22 cards in the Major Arcana...
[09:39] <@The Intern> Hoe many deceased Asters do we know of?
[09:42] <Matsuo Shin> six so far...maybe more....the names are difficult to pin down at times
[09:43] <@The Intern> Such is history...
[09:44] <Matsuo Shin> agreed
[09:44] <Matsuo Shin> I have some other notes when you have time..but for now it seems you have things to discuss with xadium
[09:45] * @The Intern nods "Thank you. I'm wondering if there isn't a correlation between the deceased asters and some of those cards"
[09:45] * DreamSeer is back
[09:45] * @The Intern keeps Paisley informed
[09:45] <Matsuo Shin> it's a possability we should keep in mind
[09:46] * @The Intern goes back to Xadium
[09:46] <DreamSeer> Hey Intern!
[09:46] <@The Intern> If the Asters are forming the Major Arcana...
[09:46] <@The Intern> Then it sounds like thwey could be the key to the future.
[09:46] <@The Intern> Hello!
[09:46] * @The Intern shares a waffle.
[09:48] <@The Intern> About this Mania...
[09:48] <@Doctor Xadium> I really don't remember.
[09:48] * @Doctor Xadium says that a bit bitterly.
[09:48] <@The Intern> ...You're lying.
[09:49] <DreamSeer> Oh so you're not actually still hiding in your TARDIS, X?
[09:49] <@Doctor Xadium> No I'm not.

[10:06] <DreamSeer> I hope this will put you in a better mood and make Gemini happy too
[10:06] * @Doctor Xadium leans on the TARDIS and takes the boxes, and sets one aside for Gemini
[10:06] <@Doctor Xadium> Sorry, it's just that I had all but forgotten that name.
[10:07] <@Doctor Xadium> It was totally lost to my subconscious.
[10:08] <@Doctor Xadium> And I'm trying to keep it that way.
[10:08] <@The Intern> ..Why?
[10:08] <@Doctor Xadium> I can't be 100% sure.
[10:08] <@Doctor Xadium> Because nothing about that time is...
[10:08] <@Doctor Xadium> But I'm pretty sure Mania had a large part in ruining my life.
[10:09] <@Doctor Xadium> A very, very large part.
[10:09] <@Doctor Xadium> She was so consumed with lust that nothing else mattered. It was like a spreading disease.

[10:11] <@Doctor Xadium> All I know is that for years, I did my best to ignore it... but it got worse and worse... to the point where, well, you couldn't ignore it anymore.
[10:14] <@Doctor Xadium> I'm fairly sure there was a confrontation with Mania that just precipitated the whole break because it was all just too much.
[10:15] * @Doctor Xadium sinks back down against the TARDIS

[10:24] * @Doctor Xadium snaps it in half while trying to eat it.
[10:24] * @The Intern helps him
[10:26] <@The Intern> ♦ [23:30] <Mania> I'm special, you see! [23:31] <Hulking Figure> Well, which is it? [23:31] <Celeste> I don't know who she is. [23:31] <Celeste> and well. [23:31] <Mania> Magical and normal and made of science~ It's quite a combo~
[10:26] <@The Intern> This "Celeste"
[10:26] <@Doctor Xadium> Not the same one we know now.
[10:27] <@Doctor Xadium> Don't get confused.
[10:28] <@The Intern> Mania was becoming annoyed that not everyone wanted a part of her activities...
[10:32] <@Doctor Xadium> Enough.
[10:33] <@Doctor Xadium> Just... enough.
[10:33] <@Doctor Xadium> Even back then, no one really understood what she was beyond a "hump everything" elemental.
[10:34] <@The Intern> Well she seems to have enough power when combined with Darkness to think she can rewrite the universe.
[10:34] <@Doctor Xadium> ...
[10:35] * @Doctor Xadium presses two fibngers to the bridge of his nose
[10:36] <@Doctor Xadium> She ruined my life once.
[10:36] <@Doctor Xadium> I'm almost certain it was her.
[10:36] <@Doctor Xadium> I need to stay away from this.
[10:37] <@Doctor Xadium> Far, far away.
[10:37] <@The Intern> ..Why?
[10:37] * @Doctor Xadium gets up and opens the TARDIS door
[10:38] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[10:38] *** @Doctor Xadium [tempusdomini1462737@TARDIS2004.fios.hi-ho.ne.jp] has left #suburbansenshi2 (Because I honestly am afraid of what I would do.)
[10:39] * the door is slammed shut again and locked from the inside.
[10:40] <@The Intern> I've never seen him this angry.
[10:40] <Matsumi Kaze> ..yeah it's....scary
[10:41] * @The Intern looks at her watch
[10:42] <@The Intern> We have 30 days before the TARDIS holding the vortex stable disintegrates.
[10:43] <@The Intern> We need to solve this by then.
[10:44] <Matsuo Shin> agreed..but are we any closer?
[10:45] <@The Intern> I'm not sure.
[10:45] <@The Intern> We still know very little about Nightfall, this is all supposition.
[10:46] <@The Intern> Honestly, The Co-Ordinator's plan is... light on details.
[10:46] * mango-san munches on some chips
[10:46] <@The Intern> She's biased because she wants to save her mother... Xadium is biased because he hates Mania.
[10:46] <@The Intern> I have a bad feeling these two attitudes are going to meet.
[10:47] *** Kanri-chan has joined #suburbansenshi2
[10:47] <@spiritflame> ohayo kanri-chan
[10:47] <mango-san> It's a tricky situation.
[10:47] * Kanri-chan wobbles through to the restaurant
[10:47] <@The Intern> If it is this Mania that I'm reading of, however, I do have to concur with the Co-Ordinator's objection...
[10:47] <@The Intern> How can she and Darkness together be strong enough to do what Nightfall proposes...
[10:47] <mango-san> Here, can I help you and give a puzzle piece?
[10:48] <@The Intern> I'd appreciate it!
[10:48] * @The Intern offers a jar of Vegemite in thanks
[10:48] <mango-san> Kusanagi is a piece of your puzzle and might be one of the stronger pieces. At least, in my opinion.
[10:48] * mango-san accepts omg you are amazing
[10:49] <@The Intern> I will have to speak with her, yes.
[10:49] <mango-san> That being said, she's one of the weaker players on the board
[10:50] <Matsuo Shin> vegemite?
[10:50] <Matsuo Shin> stronger then weaker
[10:50] <@The Intern> A strong piece but a weak player.
[10:50] <@The Intern> I follow the distinction.
[10:50] <mango-san> Yes.
[10:50] <@The Intern> She may not be able to fight, but she may be able to help solve.
[10:51] *** Nelius Raoul has joined #suburbansenshi2
[10:51] <@spiritflame> ohayo nelius raoul
[10:51] <@The Intern> to put it crudely.
[10:51] <mango-san> She finds the strength to appear in Persephone and Celeste.
[10:51] * Matsuo Shin nods
[10:51] <mango-san> (Maybe Uzume if you can find her)
[10:51] * Nelius Raoul enters the lobby from upstairs.
[10:51] <Matsuo Shin> that makes snese
[10:51] <Matsuo Shin> *sense
[10:52] *** The Corruptor [superuser@hotellihaus01.pandoricaarms.com.pi] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[10:52] <@spiritflame> ohayo the corruptor
[10:52] <mango-san> I don't know if it will be enough to help her be the suppressing factor against Mania.
[10:52] <The Corruptor> Hi, kidds~
[10:52] <The Corruptor> It occurs to me you might need something of mine~ ♫
[10:52] <mango-san> Do you want to see me put nine inch nails right through my eye lids?!
[10:52] <mango-san> But there is also yes.
[10:52] <mango-san> Livra Noinblaad.
[10:52] * The Corruptor tosses her their CD
[10:52] <The Corruptor> I figured as much.
[10:52] * The Corruptor shoves Livra forward
[10:53] <Livra Noinblaad> ...
[10:53] * mango-san checks the time
[10:53] <The Corruptor> Serve them as required.
[10:53] <Nelius Raoul> (What's Mango getting at?)
[10:53] *** The Corruptor [superuser@hotellihaus01.pandoricaarms.com.pi] has left #suburbansenshi2 (©º®®µ¶tØ® MMXiV)
[10:53] <mango-san> Let's talk about this later.
[10:53] <Livra Noinblaad> By your command.
[10:53] * Livra Noinblaad nods
[10:53] <mango-san> I didn't realize my carriage is about to turn into a pumpkin
[10:53] *** mango-san [mango.san@fractures.[REDACTED]] has quit IRC (Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go home and have a heart attack.)
[10:53] <Livra Noinblaad> I shall be at your disposal.
[10:54] * Livra Noinblaad dissolves into a fine ash mist and circulates in the air until then
[10:54] * Livra Noinblaad is away
[10:54] <Nelius Raoul> (And once again I find myself at the tail end of something planned....)
[10:56] * @The Intern frowns, and regretfulyl informs the Co-Ordinator of what's going on.
[10:57] * OtakuRedRanger enters from the london door smiling
[10:58] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Lewis. How goes?
[10:58] <OtakuRedRanger> i'm good
[10:58] <Kitchen> ♦ BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
[10:58] <Kitchen>
[10:59] <OtakuRedRanger> WTF!?!?!
[10:59] <OtakuRedRanger> iS REIMU AROUND!?
[10:59] <Matsuo Shin> ................
[10:59] <Nelius Raoul> ............who got into the kitchen?
[11:00] * Matsumi Kaze cups her hands to her ears ><
[11:00] * Nelius Raoul goes to the kitchen to find what made that noise.
[11:00] * Kanri-chan stubbles out of the restaurant couching
[11:00] <Nelius Raoul> Kanri?
[11:01] * Kanri-chan stiffens and turns to make a run for it
[11:01] <@The Intern> What happened!?
[11:01] * Nelius Raoul reaches out and grabs Kanri.
[11:01] <Nelius Raoul> Seems Kanri has a little explaining to do.
[11:02] * Kanri-chan squeaks and curls up "i was making a potion?"
[11:02] <Nelius Raoul> .....and who did you learn to make potions from?
[11:03] <Kanri-chan> aparently there are some things that shouldnt be combined
[11:03] <Kanri-chan> a book?
[11:03] <Nelius Raoul> Where'd you get the book from?
[11:03] <Kanri-chan> the library
[11:04] <OtakuRedRanger> oh boy
[11:04] <Kanri-chan> in the restricted section
[11:04] <Nelius Raoul> And where is this book right now--
[11:04] <Kanri-chan> in yuhr room
[11:05] <Nelius Raoul> ......
[11:06] * Kanri-chan blinks "im sorry... i just want to get rid of my ears and tail"
[11:06] <Nelius Raoul> ...why would you want to do that?
[11:06] <OtakuRedRanger> why!? they make you look adorable!
[11:06] <Kanri-chan> um.. no reason
[11:06] <Kanri-chan> yea.. i dont wanna be adorable
[11:06] <Nelius Raoul> I don't buy that, Kanri. You can be honest with us.
[11:07] * Kanri-chan wiggles to get free "no thank yuh"
[11:08] <Nelius Raoul> ..Kanri.
[11:08] <Kanri-chan> are we done? yuhve obviously got alot of work to do.
[11:08] * Nelius Raoul adopts that "you're not getting out of this one so easily" tone. He suspects something is up.
[11:09] * Kanri-chan stares evenly at nelius. she's not going to be a burden.. especially at this point and time
[11:13] <Matsumi Kaze> hey kanri! tell us why please
[11:13] * Kanri-chan looks away "no".
[11:13] <Kanri-chan> yuh dont want me anyways
[11:14] <OtakuRedRanger> please tell us kanri
[11:14] <Nelius Raoul> Why would we not want your presence?
[11:15] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah!
[11:15] * Matsuo Shin in the meantime is looking over some notes he made last night
[11:15] <Kanri-chan> matsumi doesnt.. she wont talk to me or even look at me.. i disgust her like i disgusted my mom..
[11:17] <Matsumi Kaze> ......it..it's not that....
[11:17] <Matsumi Kaze> ...I just..I'm going through a hard time, kanri
[11:18] <Kanri-chan> its ok matsumi..
[11:19] <Matsumi Kaze> please don't do this T___T
[11:19] <Nelius Raoul> We're all having rough times. The Rain-Aster conflict, Nightfall....
[11:19] * Kanri-chan just nods and smiles "ok."
[11:20] <Kanri-chan> thats why i said let me go.. yuhve got enough on yuhr plates. yuh dont need more.
[11:23] <Kanri-chan> yuhr all strong. so instead of barraging me with questions.. go save the universe. im fine. always have been.. always will.
[11:24] <Nelius Raoul> I doubt that last part, Kanri.
[11:24] <OtakuRedRanger> kanri! i'm not as strong as them
[11:24] * Matsumi Kaze grabs Kanri!!!!
[11:24] <OtakuRedRanger> you and i can still go with them
[11:25] * Kanri-chan 's tail fluffs "stop touching me.. it hurts."
[11:25] <Nelius Raoul> If you really were fine, why would you be brewing something to alter your appearance?
[11:25] <Matsumi Kaze> oh....
[11:25] * Matsumi Kaze lets go.....
[11:26] <Kanri-chan> im alive.. therefore im fine.
[11:26] * Nelius Raoul is still holding onto Kanri.
[11:26] <Nelius Raoul> Many can be alive, but there's still something that bothers them. Level with us Kanri-- what's really on your mind?
[11:27] * Kanri-chan clenches her jaw tight and shakes her head
[11:28] <Nelius Raoul> Y'know, unless something urgent comes up, I can be here all day.
[11:29] <Kanri-chan> i highly doubt they can
[11:29] <Nelius Raoul> Can what?
[11:29] <Kanri-chan> ...
[11:32] * Kanri-chan stares down at her feet
[11:34] * Kanri-chan looks at SailorSao.
[11:34] *** SailorSao is 5'5" with sky blue hair pulled up in a pony tail that reaches her shoulders. clad in a magenta and sky blue fuku with sky blue heeled shoes to match.
image Song is: 0.
[11:35] <Nelius Raoul> Kanri, you know we're asking because we're concerned. What's got you in such a bind?
[11:36] <Kanri-chan> i dont want to be a burden
[11:37] <Nelius Raoul> A burden? In what regard?
[11:37] <Kanri-chan> all regards
[11:39] <Nelius Raoul> Kanri, if you were a burden, would I have played with you all those times before, or even shared my room with you?
[11:39] <Kanri-chan> it could be pity
[11:40] <Kanri-chan> the homeless stray...
[11:40] <Nelius Raoul> This isn't pity, not by any stretch.
[11:45] * Kanri-chan keeps staring at her feet "i dont want to be the one who has to cover up so no one's embarrassed.. or people have to slow down because im slow. i dont want people to stop what their doing *hint hint* to crowd around me and ask me redundant questions like it will change anything"
[11:45] <OtakuRedRanger> Emily loves you as well!
[11:47] <Nelius Raoul> Kanri, enough with the self-doubting diatribe.
[11:50] <Kanri-chan> i didnt want to talk about it to begin with..
[11:51] <Nelius Raoul> Then you're just going to keep holding it in, letting it become something even worse?
[11:51] <Kanri-chan> (( hint hint she'd probably open up more if there werent 3 people crowded around her like a science experiment gone wrong ;) ))
[11:51] <Kanri-chan> i dont wanna talk about it raoul
[11:52] <Nelius Raoul> ....Matsumi, Lewis, let me chat with her.
[11:52] * Nelius Raoul carries Kanri off to his room on the fourth floor.
[11:52] * Nelius Raoul has moved to: [ Room 407 ]
[11:53] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] sets Kanri down on the bed he's let her use.
[11:53] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ room 407 ]
[11:53] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] This better?
[11:53] * Kanri-chan [room 407] hides her face in her knees and nods
[11:54] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] All right, you can be honest with me. What's really going on?
[11:54] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] ...................................i wanna be normal
[11:56] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Y'know, there's as many definitions of normal as there are people on this world. What do you mean by "normal"?
[11:57] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] no ears and no tail.. look normal act normal think normal
[12:00] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Kanri, never, ever let someone else's definition of normal dictate how you're supposed to live and act.
[12:02] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] how am i supposed to live and act? im a cat... but im human..
[12:03] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Find your own way to live. There's no guide to how life is supposed to go-- something I found out the hard way.
[12:04] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] but.. everyone i start to care about leaves me...
[12:04] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] even yuhr leaving at some point
[12:04] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Only temporarily, to put some old problems to rest.
[12:05] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] thats what they all say nelius
[12:05] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] they all say its temporary.. but then they never come back
[12:05] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] I've not once gone back on my word, and I don't plan on becoming a liar anytime soon.
[12:08] * Kanri-chan [room 407] nods and sniffles "im sorry"
[12:08] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] C'mere, little sis.
[12:08] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] holds his arm out for a hug.
[12:09] * Kanri-chan [room 407] looks up at nelius and stares
[12:09] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] huh?
[12:09] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Something else you want to talk about?
[12:10] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] what did yuh say?
[12:10] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Little sis-- did I offend you?
[12:11] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] You did call me "Big Brother" at one point.
[12:11] * Kanri-chan [room 407] tears up and sniffles tackling nelius and... crying
[12:12] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] gently wraps his arm around Kanri.
[12:13] * Kanri-chan [room 407] wails and sobs uncontrollably letting all fall out
[12:14] * Freya watches this
[12:14] * Freya has moved to: [ room 407 ]
[12:15] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] (Kid's never really had anyone to help get her through life.)
[12:16] * Kanri-chan [room 407] curls up sniffling and whimpering "im s..sorry"
[12:17] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] It's all right, Kanri.
[12:19] * Kanri-chan [room 407] sniffle pants and tries the rub her face clean but cant reach over nelius's long ass arms
[12:20] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] retracts his arm, reaching out for a few paper towels he had nearby-- gotta keep things cleaned up, after all.
[12:21] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] gets the paper towels and offers them to Kanri.
[12:22] <Freya> [room 407] hm...
[12:22] * Kanri-chan [room 407] drops her head in his hand on the paper towel and groans
[12:23] * Kanri-chan [room 407] turns and looks at freya "......."
[12:23] <Kanri-chan> (( is this a version of cheating? XD ))
[12:23] <Freya> [room 407] hello kanri
[12:24] * Kanri-chan [room 407] stares (can i still call her momma?)
[12:25] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Freya, did you teleport past the door?
[12:26] <Freya> [room 407] yes
[12:27] <Kanri-chan> why?
[12:27] *** The Actuary [actvarivs@cia001.panopticon.gallfrey.kasterborous.sen] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[12:27] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa the actuary
[12:27] * The Actuary tries the lock on Father's TARDIS.
[12:27] * The Actuary frowns and gets the Master key
[12:27] <Matsuo Shin> its' no good
[12:27] * The Actuary is away: ss3
[12:28] <Freya> [room 407] because you were upset
[12:28] * Kanri-chan [room 407] looks down and her ears flatten "s..sorry"
[12:28] <Freya> [room 407] did I hear you right..that you want to become normal?
[12:29] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] /mw nods slowly
[12:29] * Kanri-chan [room 407] nods slowly
[12:29] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] She's rather frustrated, Freya.
[12:30] * Freya [room 407] walks over and hugs kanri
[12:31] * Kanri-chan [room 407] hugs back resisting the urge to cry whimpering instead "im sorry"
[12:32] <Freya> [room 407] it's alright
[12:33] * Kanri-chan [room 407] looks up at freya "can i still call yuh momma?"
[12:33] <Freya> [room 407] of course you can
[12:34] * Kanri-chan [room 407] sniffles and nods nuzzles momma " thank yuh"
[12:35] <Freya> [room 407] it's alright
[12:36] * Kanri-chan [room 407] finally lets go and sits there looking down
[12:39] * Freya [room 407] rubs kanri's back
[12:40] * Kanri-chan [room 407] sniffles and leans on momma looking up at nelius
[12:43] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Anything else on your mind, little sis?
[12:43] * Kanri-chan [room 407] stares still stuck
[12:44] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] umm
[12:46] * Kanri-chan [room 407] gets down and pulls up the matress pulling out a thick book and hands it to nelius "im sorry i blew up the kitchen"
[12:49] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] takes a look at the book. It's on making various sorts of potions and other elixirs.
[12:50] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] This is very advanced stuff. I'm guessing you've not tried this before.
[12:51] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] no sir
[12:51] * Kanri-chan [room 407] seems to shrink in size as she backs away
[12:52] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Kanri, I'm going to let you in on something-- as much as people throw around that word, there's no such thing as "normal".
[12:53] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Most people often distrust and try to shame that which they neither understand nor control.
[12:55] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Heck, everyone here has something that would set them apart from the ordinary populace.
[12:55] * Kanri-chan [room 407] nods and looks down "i just thought if i looked more like everyone else.. people might accept me more.."
[12:56] <Freya> [room 407] we accept you
[12:58] * Kanri-chan [room 407] looks at momma "yuh do?"
[12:58] <Freya> [room 407] of course we do
[12:58] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] but matsumi wont look at me.. or even talk to me
[13:00] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Matsumi's been under her own pressure as well. Much like yourself, she's caught between two worlds-- those she knew ridicule her for her unintentional de-aging, and she finds herself unable to connect with the young people.
[13:00] <Freya> [room 407] she's in a mood..she's doing that to most people..not just you
[13:00] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] she avoids me like the plague
[13:01] * Kanri-chan [room 407] nods "oh... i didnt know.. she wouldnt talk to me"
[13:02] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] so... she's not mad at me?
[13:02] <Freya> [room 407] she isn't
[13:02] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] yuh promise?
[13:03] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Promise. She isn't mad at you... she's just extremely frustrated as well.
[13:03] * Kanri-chan [room 407] looks to momma for her promise.. momma know her better
[13:06] * Freya [room 407] nods to kanri
[13:06] * Kanri-chan [room 407] purses her lips "yuh didnt say it..."
[13:08] <Freya> [room 407] I promise
[13:09] * Kanri-chan [room 407] looks at momma's hands to see if her fingers are crossed
[13:10] * Kanri-chan [room 407] sighs and relaxes visibly...
[13:12] * Kanri-chan [room 407] flops face first onto the bed "why am i soooooooo tired?"
[13:13] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] ...say, Kanri, what kind of potion were you trying to make?
[13:14] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] opens the book Kanri handed over. Perhaps the explosion earlier was due to wrong ingredients being used?
[13:14] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] deepest desires elixer
[13:15] * Kanri-chan [room 407] flips him to the right page
[13:15] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Hm.
[13:15] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] looks over the ingredients and other errata for its creation.
[13:16] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] i put the heartstrings in before the wormroot
[13:17] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Well, that explains it. That was a backfire you experienced.
[13:18] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] really? i thought it was a rainbow..
[13:18] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] keeps looking over the elixir's information.
[13:18] * Kanri-chan [room 407] 's sarcasm is back full force
[13:19] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Well, if you can be sarcastic like that, I'm certain you'll pull through this easily.
[13:20] * Kanri-chan [room 407] leans over and looks at the page "i almost had it too"
[13:20] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Still, you may want to go get cleaned up, as a precautionary measure-- no telling if any of that stuff either spilled onto you or into you.
[13:20] * Kanri-chan [room 407] nods and slips of the bed before looking around "uhhhhhhh"
[13:21] <Freya> [room 407] hm?
[13:22] * Kanri-chan [room 407] goes over and takes a paper towel, wets it, and wipes her face "is this ok?"
[13:23] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Unfortunately, no. You may need to have a full shower to fully wash it all off.
[13:23] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] points to where the bathroom is.
[13:24] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] You got any extra clothes?
[13:24] * Kanri-chan [room 407] groans and sliiiiiiiiides to the bathroom "but i dont wanna get weeeet~"
[13:25] * Kanri-chan [room 407] points a finger to the underneath of the bed
[13:26] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] I know cats and other catlike-beings aren't fond of water.... keep the water acceptably warm.
[13:27] <Freya> [room 407] hm?
[13:27] * Kanri-chan [room 407] stares at the demonic shower and turns it on "hisssssssssssssssssss... mommaaaaaaaa~ its splashed me!"
[13:28] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Something I've noticed.... cats don't like cold water. Keep the water warm, that should alleviate some of the problem.
[13:28] <Freya> [room 407] you will be alright...
[13:28] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] looks underneath the bed Kanri's been sleeping on.
[13:29] * Kanri-chan [room 407] 's got 3 changes of clothes folded neatly
[13:30] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Here we are.
[13:30] * Kanri-chan [room 407] sticks her foot in to test it "but its weeeeet"
[13:30] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] extracts one of the changes of clothing.
[13:30] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] (she may need a push... literally)
[13:31] <Kanri-chan> (( she may need a push... literally ))
[13:33] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Kanri, the warm water can only last so long. If you don't get into the shower and wash this stuff off, who knows what effects it might have on you.
[13:34] * Freya [room 407] pushes Kanri into the shower
[13:35] * Kanri-chan [room 407] squeals and bounces around under the water "its weeeet!~"
[13:37] * Kanri-chan [room 407] pouts after calming down and rubs the singed area's clean with water "im done!"
[13:38] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Make sure you dry off well.
[13:39] * Kanri-chan [room 407] shakes drys like a champ and peeks from the door "can i has my clothes please?"
[13:40] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] reaches the clothes over.
[13:40] * Kanri-chan [room 407] takes the clothes and dresses quily "oooo i like this dress"
[13:41] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] quickly*
[13:43] * Kanri-chan [room 407] hops out and shakes her wet hair on to nelius
[13:45] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] ....really, now?
[13:45] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] has one of those looks where you just know he's amused.
[13:46] * Kanri-chan [room 407] gives an innocent bat of her eyelashes "maybe?"
[13:48] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Guess what time it is, Kanri.
[13:48] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] movie time?
[13:48] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] bacon time?
[13:49] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] snuggle time?
[13:49] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] forms his wings into a multitude of hands.
[13:49] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Time for tickles~
[13:50] * Kanri-chan [room 407] shakes her head and hides behind momma "no bad hands.. very bad!"
[13:50] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Heheheheheeeee.....
[13:52] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] bad boy nelius! bad boy
[13:52] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] steps closer, a grin on his face.
[13:53] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] You cannot run from the tickles forever.
[13:53] * Kanri-chan [room 407] takes off and dives under the bed "nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
[13:53] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] I regret to inform you, Kanri....
[13:53] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] You just trapped yourself.
[13:54] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] sends his wings under the bed to tickle her.
[13:54] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] 0.0
[13:54] * Kanri-chan [room 407] crawls out backwards and runs and hug nelius "please dont tickle me?"
[13:56] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] All is forgiven.
[13:56] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] hugs Kanri.
[13:57] * Kanri-chan [room 407] huggles and pants
[14:00] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] hey nelius?
[14:00] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] ??
[14:01] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] i dont feel so well
[14:01] * Kanri-chan [room 407] flops down to the floor
[14:01] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] ...did some of the spell ingredients get into her system?
[14:02] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] picks Kanri up.
[14:02] * Kanri-chan [room 407] yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnns
[14:03] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] (Either some of the ingredients got into her system, or the excitement of today wore her out.)
[14:03] * Kanri-chan [room 407] cried, sobbed,, wailed, fought the shower demon, ran from the tickle monster, oh yea and nuked the kitchen...
[14:04] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Better to err on the side of caution. If this is just exhaustion, she can room here.
[14:04] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Hey Freya, I'm headed up to the clinic.
[14:04] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] im sleepy nelius
[14:05] <Freya> [room 407] very well
[14:05] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] Honestly, I don't know if any of that stuff got in you, which is why we're headed up there. If it is just you being tired, you've always got a bed here.
[14:05] * Kanri-chan [room 407] nods "bye momma"
[14:06] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] carries Kanri up to the clinic on the 12th floor.
[14:06] * Nelius Raoul has moved to: [ Clinic ]
[14:06] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] /clinic
[14:06] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ clinic ]
[14:07] * Nelius Raoul [Clinic] sets Kanri onto one of the cots, looking for a quick scan of her internal systems.
[14:07] * Kanri-chan [clinic] shifts uncomfortably
[14:14] * Nelius Raoul [Clinic] waits for the scan of Kanri to finish up.
[14:16] * Kanri-chan [clinic] 's scan are all clear and yuh now have a sleeping, uncomfortable girl to carry
[14:16] <Nelius Raoul> [Clinic] (That's good to know.)
[14:16] * Nelius Raoul [Clinic] picks Kanri up and heads back downstairs to his room.
[14:17] * Nelius Raoul has moved to: [ Room 407 ]
[14:17] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ room 407 ]
[14:18] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] sets Kanri down onto her bed.
[14:18] * Kanri-chan [room 407] curls up instantly and reaches around for her thing
[14:19] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] finds that the Freya Plushie fell off the bed. He picks it up and hands it to her.
[14:20] * Kanri-chan [room 407] clutches the plushie and is knocked out
[14:24] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] (And she's out like a light.)
[14:27] * Matsuo Shin is working through the copy of the tome, while Matsumi helps him with his notes
[14:35] <Nelius Raoul> [Room 407] (Sleep well, Kanri.)
[14:36] * Kanri-chan [room 407] flips over in her sleep and mumbles
[14:54] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] 's stomach growls lightly. In the excitement of today, he hasn't had anything to eat.
[14:55] * Kanri-chan [room 407] is now face down with her butt up snoring
[14:57] * Nelius Raoul [Room 407] lightly chuckles before slipping out of the room to go get some food.
[14:57] * Nelius Raoul has moved back to the lobby
[14:58] * Nelius Raoul enters the Lobby, doing a quick scan over who all's here before moving to the Resturant.
[15:02] * Nelius Raoul has moved to: [ Resturant ]
[15:10] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] looks at the mess in the kitchen....except there's no mess. Did the HazMat Prinnies get here?
[15:14] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] takes a further look in... it's all clean. Kanri's potion experiment is nowhere to be seen, and everything looks pristine.
[15:14] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Guess they got things cleaned up.
[15:17] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] sets to making himself something delicious.
[15:26] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] walks out with with a calzone stuffed with pepperoni, three kinds of sausage, ham, bacon, and a five cheese blend.
[15:32] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Ah, deliciousness.
[15:32] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] enjoys his creation.
[15:44] * ??? [outside] sneaks a hand up and swipes some fallen meats
[15:44] * ??? has moved back to the lobby
[15:44] * ??? has moved to: [ restaurant ]
[15:44] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] looks over to see someone swiping a few fallen toppings.
[15:45] * @SpeedRcrX changes topic to ` Yumiko92: im tempted to have kanri pop up and steal some of his meat`
[15:45] * @SpeedRcrX is away: flee
[15:47] * ??? [restaurant] reaches up to swipe some more
[15:48] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] pokes the hand.
[15:48] * ??? [restaurant] takes the paw back... waits..... attempts again
[15:49] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] gives a wry smile. He then immediately looks under the table.
[15:49] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Peek-a-boo.
[15:49] * ??? is now known as Kanri-chan
[15:50] * Kanri-chan [room 407] pretends to sleep
[15:50] <Kanri-chan> [room 407] /restaurant
[15:50] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ restaurant ]
[15:51] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] If you wanted something to eat, Kanri, all you had to do was ask.
[15:51] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] sits back up, slicing off half of his calzone for her.
[15:51] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] peeks up at nelius and yawns.. she's in kitten for.. her human form takes to much energy
[15:52] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] (Today really did wear her out.)
[15:53] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] looks up at nelius falling asleep again
[15:53] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] (Out cold.)
[15:54] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] goes over and crawls up into his side pocket slowly. then procede's to fall aslee;
[15:55] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] (Guess I'll float my way out. Don't want to disturb her too badly.)
[15:56] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] is as heavy a sleeper as nelius.. he can walk normal
[16:01] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] finishes up his half of the calzone, putting Kanri's half into a marked container and storing it away.
[16:01] *** Nelius Raoul: your inventory has been emptied
[16:01] *** Nelius Raoul has placed Kanri's box in Inventory Slot: 2
[16:03] *** Nelius Raoul has placed Kanri in Inventory Slot: 1
[16:03] *** Kanri-chan has placed Freya Plushie in Inventory Slot: 1
[16:04] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] gets up and exits the Resturant.
[16:04] * Nelius Raoul has moved back to the lobby
[16:04] * Kanri-chan is away: *sleeping in nelius's pocket*
[16:05] * Nelius Raoul finds an open couch, and goes into a meditative state.

[18:29] <@The Intern> Mister Yaijinden!
[18:29] * @The Intern chews on a licorice stick
[18:29] <Yaijinden> Greets!
[18:30] <@The Intern> Hello!
[18:30] * @The Intern offers a box of pocky.
[18:30] <@The Intern> I could use your assistance.
[18:30] * Yaijinden pulls a stick
[18:30] <Yaijinden> What's up?
[18:30] <@The Intern> I need to know whatever you can tell me about a being named "Mania".
[18:31] <@The Intern> My research in the security logs was only slightly informative.
[18:31] <@The Intern> It would appear that this "Mania" is empowering Darkness to function as the "Nightfall"
[18:31] <@The Intern> And Nightfall's goal is nothing short of rewriting reality.
[18:32] <@The Intern> Which, honestly, should still be beyond the two of them combined.
[18:32] <@The Intern> Unless we are vastly misunderstanding Mania's nature.
[18:32] * Nelius Raoul opens his eye. Seems Intern's talk caught his attention.
[18:32] <@The Intern> Which is why I need your insight.
[18:33] <Yaijinden> Mmm.
[18:34] * Yaijinden finishes the pocky stick and sits back
[18:35] <Nelius Raoul> (Yai likely knows more on this Mania character. Guess I'll observe for now.)
[18:35] <Yaijinden> Mania began life as an entity known as Lust, one of Seven Sins.
[18:35] * @The Intern listens
[18:36] <Yaijinden> She was... something of symbiotic-parasitic entity, as were the other six who came into being. Much like the members of the Clan of the Steel Fist, Lust was either an influential undercurrent in a personality or a dominating force and form...
[18:37] * @The Intern nods, noting this information
[18:39] *** mango-san [mango.san@fractures.[REDACTED]] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[18:39] <@spiritflame> konbanwa mango-san
[18:39] <Yaijinden> I don't remember when this transpired, but I would be very surprised if this did not have something to do with a Tarot Ten sort of circumstance -- those powers draw some notable degree of force from Christian myth...
[18:40] * @The Intern cotinues to take notes
[18:42] <Yaijinden> Shaldra, being Shaldra, seemed to accelerate the self-preservation sense of any spirit fused partially with her. The other Seven Sins spirits eventually dwindled away. Lust, by contrast, gained a hilarious form of self-identification and realization that she wanted to live.
[18:43] <Yaijinden> Like Kusanagi, Lust wanted to stay. Unlike Kusanagi, Lust was much more powerful, because she wasn't tied to the liveliness of Certain Swords.
[18:45] <@The Intern> (If we want to strengthen Kusanagi we may need to sacrifice Livra)
[18:45] <Yaijinden> They couldn't co-exist.
[18:46] <Yaijinden> Or, rather, wouldn't co-exist without essentially breaking Shaldra's day-to-day life down into little tiny perpetually-horny fragments.
[18:46] * mango-san has a big ole surfboard and bagels with vegemite
[18:47] * mango-san takes a seat on the surfboard and starts munching on vegemite sandwiches.
[18:47] <Yaijinden> Me, being who I am and knowing what I do, took a trip into the mindscape. Assured Lust that room could be made for her, that she didn't have to be afraid that we would casually murder her, and I offered to create a body for her that would effectively harness her soul such that she wasn't leaking pheromones or sex thoughts all the day long.
[18:47] * mango-san is a happy little vegemite ^n^
[18:48] <@The Intern> (Sort of what The Co-Ordinator wants to do for Nightfall...)
[18:49] <@The Intern> I see. Was there anything special about this body?
[18:49] * mango-san sits and listens
[18:50] <Yaijinden> Inherently? Merely that it was possessed of a set of internal chakra channels to allow Lust-now-Mania to turn her intensity on or off as she willed.
[18:51] <Yaijinden> She was a -minx- in the sack.
[18:51] <@The Intern> (..yet another mental image I did not need.)
[18:51] * @The Intern gnaws on a doughnut and passes another to Yaijinden
[18:52] <mango-san> She probably still is.
[18:53] * mango-san waxes that surfboard.
[18:55] * Yaijinden consumes, thoughtful
[18:55] <@The Intern> Did she have any partcular special powers aside from her sexual performance?
[18:55] <Yaijinden> Aside from not being strictly-speaking human...
[18:56] <mango-san> She got people surrounding her mostly involved.
[18:56] <mango-san> Orgies in hotsprings.
[18:57] <@The Intern> Hardly world-thereatening on its own.
[18:58] <@The Intern> Though, if she fulfilled some kind of emotional need...
[18:58] <@The Intern> And Darkness considers herself incomplete...
[18:58] <Yaijinden> Heh.
[18:58] <@The Intern> I could see a synergy forming.
[18:59] * mango-san checks the length of the ankle strap.
[18:59] <@The Intern> I wonder it it operates like a fusion dance.
[18:59] <@The Intern> A power increase a quantum level higher than either of the partocipants as a whole.
[19:00] <mango-san> I'm just imagining a fusion dance, now
[19:00] <mango-san> :/
[19:01] <@The Intern> Sorry. I'm just trying to understand what we saw last night.
[19:01] <Yaijinden> Hee.
[19:01] <Yaijinden> Meanwhile, it's time for fun!
[19:01] <@The Intern> Fun?
[19:02] <Yaijinden> Where I go and poke other things in other places.
[19:02] * Yaijinden waves and skips out~
[19:02] * Yaijinden is away
[19:02] <@The Intern> Thank you for the help!
[19:04] * mango-san tests the strap of the board.
[19:04] <mango-san> So I had a thought while out and about.
[19:04] * @The Intern nervously eats a pretzel
[19:04] <@The Intern> Yes?
[19:05] <mango-san> I might see if I can find Uzume. Last Mango said she shed that part of herself in a black hole.
[19:06] <mango-san> So I did some scrying.
[19:06] <mango-san> And it's not necessarily a black hole but it was when black hole surfing that she did it.
[19:06] <mango-san> So I have the exact spot that she ditched her, getting there is the hard part.

[19:11] <David O`Cain> How's that coming along?
[19:12] <@The Intern> Slowly.
[19:12] * David O`Cain nods
[19:13] <mango-san> I'm not sure of the exact coordinates.
[19:13] <David O`Cain> I guess in a sense I didn't get caught up in the insanity last night by not being here, huh?
[19:13] <Nelius Raoul> You'd be correct, David.
[19:15] <David O`Cain> (Kinda glad now that I think about it. No way to celebrate a birthday.)

[19:20] * @The Intern looks up
[19:20] * There is a spider on the wall.
[19:21] <David O`Cain> What are you looking at?
[19:21] * Nelius Raoul notices the spider.
[19:21] <Nelius Raoul> (I wonder if it's related to that one that attacked Tetsuo some time ago.)
[19:22] <@The Intern> A spider?
[19:22] * The Spider is your average everyday spider.
[19:22] <mango-san> Wha?
[19:22] <mango-san> Oh, there's a spider on the wall.
[19:23] <Nelius Raoul> (There was also those waffles that had the spiders contained in them.... is it one of the survivors?)

[19:25] <mango-san> See this fishing here?

[21:16] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] SCREAMS as cuts form across her body
[21:16] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] immediately heals Quinox.
[21:16] <spiritflame> Ultra Sailor Quinox rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[21:16] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] is healed but winces....
[21:16] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] goes flying into the side of a house
[21:17] * Daeva [Outside] appears where Matsumi was
[21:17] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] makes to attack Daeva, figuring to go fast and accurate for this.
[21:17] <Daeva> [Outside] you call it gutless
[21:17] <Daeva> [Outside] I call it winning
[21:17] <spiritflame> Daeva rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[21:17] * Daeva [Outside] is HIT and stumbles foward...her mask cracking and falling apart...revealing.....Paisley
[21:18] <???> I call it cheating
[21:18] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] ...a Paisley knock-off?
[21:18] * ??? is now known as The Magistra
[21:18] <The Magistra> ...what
[21:18] <The Magistra> Why is my sister's mother attacking my aunt figure.
[21:18] * Daeva [Outside] frowns....
[21:18] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] ...great, so there's even a Paisley-clone running around. Fantastic, as if the world needs another.
[21:19] * Daeva [Outside] grins..and vanishes again...as does Matsumi
[21:19] * Lt. David O`Cain [Outside] looks around to see where Matsumi winds up landing
[21:19] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Simple, this Paisley-knockoff is after Matsumi. She keeps using wimpy time-stopping to attack.
[21:20] <Lt. David O`Cain> [Outside] Time-stopping? Hmmm.
[21:20] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] reappears, her faced dragged across the pavement....
[21:21] <Ultra Sailor Quinox> [Outside] ugh...
[21:21] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] teleports in front of Daeva, Maximov on a course for her neck.
[21:22] <Daeva> [Outside] well now...
[21:22] * The Magistra unlocks her sage powers, switching to her armor.
[21:22] <Daeva> [Outside] are we going on a date?
[21:22] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] winces..her face slightly bleeding and slowly lifting herself up...
[21:23] <The Magistra> Matsumi
[21:23] * The Magistra throws something to Matsumi
[21:23] <spiritflame> Ultra Sailor Quinox rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[21:24] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] catches it...
[21:24] * The Magistra threw a small crystal. It pulses with time energy
[21:25] <Ultra Sailor Quinox> [Outside] .......
[21:25] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] frowns......
[21:25] * Lt. David O`Cain [Outside] switches back to the 134340 Upgrade
[21:25] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] throws the crystal
[21:25] <The Magistra> .....
[21:26] <Ultra Sailor Quinox> [Outside] (..I need...to do this myself.....)
[21:26] <Ultra Sailor Quinox> [Outside] (..how can I.....)
[21:26] * The Magistra notes there's a differnce between leaning on other's for support, and having them fight for you.
[21:26] <spiritflame> Nelius Raoul rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[21:26] <Daeva> [Outside] I'm sorry to ruin this moment...but I do have someone to kill and you are getting in my way...
[21:27] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] winces and closes her eyes...gripping her spear...
[21:27] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Unfortunately, we've got no intention of letting you kill Q.
[21:28] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] missed with the axe swing.
[21:28] <Daeva> [Outside] same...you have no choice...........
[21:28] * Daeva [Outside] vanishes
[21:28] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] I doubt that.
[21:28] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] takes several deep breaths concentrating...feeling....
[21:29] <Ultra Sailor Quinox> [Outside] ..............
[21:30] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] swings around and THRUSTS her spear forward...
[21:30] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] decides to sense for Daeva instead.
[21:30] <Daeva> [Outside] ....................
[21:31] * Daeva [Outside] has been impaled through the center of her chest..
[21:32] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] (Nice.)
[21:32] <Lt. David O`Cain> [Outside] Got her!
[21:32] * Daeva [Outside] coughs up black blood........."...not..the...last......"
[21:33] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Should we decapitate her now, save ourselves the headache?
[21:33] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] swings her spear through the center of Daeva...tearing her in half.....
[21:34] * Daeva [Outside] screams....and EXPLODES in a burst of black smoke and fire
[21:34] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Excellent.
[21:34] * The Magistra collects the crystal, and crushes it in her palm
[21:35] * Ultra Sailor Quinox [Outside] leans against her spear, taking deep breaths....
[21:35] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Nice shot. Sorry about the accidental gating earlier.
[21:37] * Ultra Sailor Quinox is now known as Matsumi Kaze
[21:37] * Matsumi Kaze falls over and lays on the ground, taking deep breaths
[21:37] * Lt. David O`Cain is now known as David O`Cain
[21:37] * David O`Cain has moved to: [ Outside ]
[21:37] * David O`Cain [Outside] checks Matsumi for any wounds
[21:38] * Matsumi Kaze doesn't have wounds but is...worn out
[21:40] <David O`Cain> [Outside] Need a hand?
[21:40] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah..think so.....
[21:40] * Matsumi Kaze has moved to: [ outside ]
[21:41] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] You want to do the honors, David?
[21:43] * David O`Cain [Outside] offers Matsumi a hand up
[21:43] * Matsumi Kaze [outside] grabs david's hand and slowly stands
[21:43] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] (Still, who was that Paisley-knockoff, and why was she after this statue Matsumi had?)
[21:44] * David O`Cain [Outside] helps Matsumi back inside the Hotel
[21:44] * Matsumi Kaze has moved back to the lobby
[21:45] * David O`Cain has moved back to the lobby
[21:45] * Nelius Raoul has moved back to the lobby
[21:46] <David O`Cain> Matsumi?
[21:46] <Matsumi Kaze> huh?
[21:47] * David O`Cain helps Matsumi to a sofa, "What was that woman talking about regarding a statue?"
[21:48] <Matsumi Kaze> found this one shrine on accident in tokyo....the priest got killed but I saved the Miko
[21:48] <Matsumi Kaze> the monster was after the statue...beat the monster...then the next day another monster showed up and tried to get the statue
[21:48] <Matsumi Kaze> ..that daeva lady...she almost got it but got it away from her..the miko..Kaede her name was...gave me the statue for safe keeping
[21:49] <Nelius Raoul> And now there's the Paisley-clone. What's her angle on this?
[21:49] <David O`Cain> And what's special about this particular statue?
[21:50] <Nelius Raoul> (Daeva... I'll have to run that by Paisley, see if it has any significance.)
[21:50] <Matsumi Kaze> I don't know..it's just really old
[21:50] <Matsumi Kaze> ..I don't know..she just wanted it
[21:50] <David O`Cain> Hmmm.
[21:51] <Nelius Raoul> If she was willing to kill in order to get it, then she had to be up to no good.
[21:51] <Matsumi Kaze> she just really wanted it
[21:53] <Nelius Raoul> As if this place needed any more complications.
[21:53] <Nelius Raoul> Time's already going weird, there's the Rain-Aster conflict, Nightfall, now this......
[21:54] * Matsumi Kaze lays on the Q sofa, looking exausted
[21:54] <Matsumi Kaze> (why is that statue so important?....why did she look like paisley...)
[21:55] <Matsumi Kaze> (...guess it means I'm not done fighting.....)
[21:55] * Matsumi Kaze closes her eyes a bit
[21:56] <David O`Cain> Furthermore, what was that being before that Daeva lady showed up?
[21:56] * Matsumi Kaze doesn't answer
[21:56] <Nelius Raoul> Whatever it was, it's dead now. If it comes back again, we'll destroy it.
[21:58] * Matsumi Kaze smiles a bit
[22:00] <David O`Cain> Damn right it will.
[22:01] <The Magistra> ...Where'd Zennay go?
[22:01] <David O`Cain> Who?
[22:02] <Nelius Raoul> ? That shadow-woman is missing.
[22:03] <Nelius Raoul> When she got struck by that Paisley-ripoff, she dispersed into shadows. I haven't seen her back since.
[22:03] <The Magistra> Yes her.
[22:04] <Nelius Raoul> Like I said, took a backstabbing, dispersed, and disappeared.
[22:04] <David O`Cain> Hm.
[22:04] * MistressOfShadows [Outside] rises out beind Riyana. "I'm right here Razal" before sinking back into the shadows, darting between sahdows until you loose track of her
[22:05] * MistressOfShadows has moved back to the lobby
[22:05] <Nelius Raoul> Oh wait, there she is.
[22:06] <The Magistra> I guess she's sticking around?
[22:06] <David O`Cain> I suppose.

[22:12] * Kanri-chan has moved back to the lobby
[22:14] <Nelius Raoul> Evening there Kanri.
[22:15] * Kanri-chan hops downs and wanders around in search of her claimed pocket
[22:15] <David O`Cain> Hey.
[22:16] * Kanri-chan walks over and climbs nelius's leg slipping back into his pocket and pokes her head out nodding a greeting
[22:17] <Nelius Raoul> You going to stick around in there all day, or do you plan to eat sometime?
[22:18] * Kanri-chan looks up at nelius perked up at the mention of foods
[22:18] <Kanri-chan> mew?
[22:19] <David O`Cain> Heh.
[22:19] * Nelius Raoul picks up and shows her the container. Inside is half a calzone.
[22:20] * Kanri-chan takes the half and drags it into the pocket to devour her victim :3
[22:21] <Nelius Raoul> Try not to make too much of a mess in there.
[22:24] * Kanri-chan sticks a red paw out waving it in a "Dont worry.. i'll eat it all" manner
[22:24] <David O`Cain> When'd she move in, Nelius?
[22:24] <Nelius Raoul> She basically claimed the pocket some hours ago.
[22:25] <Nelius Raoul> Though I had to remove her when that thing attacked.
[22:26] <David O`Cain> Of course. Don't want her to get hurt during the scuffle.
[22:26] <Nelius Raoul> Still, considering whomever that Daeva was... Paisley's gonna flip when she hears about this.
[22:27] * Kanri-chan sticks her head out face red and sticks her tongue out...waaaaater~
[22:27] <David O`Cain> No kidding. But why the appearance aside from trying to intimidate us some?
[22:28] * Matsumi Kaze is asleep
[22:28] <Nelius Raoul> Maybe it's for psychological factor, maybe it's 'cause she's lost a few marbles....
[22:29] * Kanri-chan goes back in and noms some more after a bit :3
[22:30] * David O`Cain shrugs
[22:31] <Matsumi Kaze> zzzz
[22:33] * Kanri-chan hops out and licks herself clean
[22:34] <Nelius Raoul> So, how was it, Kanri?

[22:36] <David O`Cain> Hello.
[22:36] * Nelius Raoul catches sight of Regina Lee. (And here comes trouble.)
[22:36] * Regina Lee catches sight of Kanri and smiiiiles.
[22:37] * Kanri-chan is obviously avoiding looking at the woman.. her eyes trained on nelius's
[22:37] <Nelius Raoul> (That look is trouble. Whatever BS you're about to pull, bring it.)
[22:39] * Regina Lee waltzes on over to Kanri and stands in front of her, fists resting on her hips.
[22:39] <Regina Lee> Evening Kanri.
[22:39] * Kanri-chan frowns and looks up at regina "may i help yuh ms. lee?"
[22:40] * Nelius Raoul sends Regina a look that warns against starting any trouble.
[22:40] * Regina Lee completely ignores the looks that Nelius is giving her as she keeps her hidden gaze locked on Kanri.
[22:40] <Regina Lee> I just wanted to see how you've been doing as of late.
[22:41] * Kanri-chan puts her hand on nelius's shoulder "ive been great. passing my classes.. how about yuhrself?"
[22:41] <Nelius Raoul> (What's she up to?)
[22:41] <Regina Lee> I've been pretty great, actually.
[22:42] <Regina Lee> I just helped several new books get published, I've gotten some new tenants in the apartment I've been renting, and I've been seeing a great guy off and on.
[22:42] <Regina Lee> Oh, that's right, you're still in school, aren't you?
[22:43] * Kanri-chan smiles brightly and nods.. she can play games too

[22:43] <Regina Lee> And what is it you're studying again?
[22:44] <Kanri-chan> culinary crafts and arts. in other words... food
[22:45] <Regina Lee> Oh, really?
[22:45] <Regina Lee> Let's hope you don't lose that thin figure of yours with all that food you'll be eating.
[22:45] <Regina Lee> I'm surprised they would even let you into a kitchen.
[22:45] <Regina Lee> All that fur must be a health violation.
[22:46] * Kanri-chan giggles "sweetie im surprised the let yuh live."
[22:47] <Kanri-chan> i have no clue what the doctor's were thinking.
[22:47] * Matsumi Kaze is sleeping on the Q sofa..with a smile on her face
[22:47] <Kanri-chan> oh and i dont cook in cat form.. that would be retarded
[22:47] <Regina Lee> What are you talking about?
[22:48] * Regina Lee reaches out and flicks one of Kanri's visible cat-ears.
[22:48] * Kanri-chan ducks away in cat like elegance "dont touch me"
[22:49] * Regina Lee smirks, calmly folding her arms in front of her chest.
[22:49] <Kanri-chan> if all yuh came for was to try and intimidate yuh lack the ability.
[22:50] <Regina Lee> Oh, nonsense.
[22:50] <Regina Lee> I'm just seeing how you're doing.
[22:51] <Yaijinden> Yay curiosity!?
[22:53] * Kanri-chan laughs and waves to jin jin "hi jin jin"
[22:54] <Nelius Raoul> (Curiosity...why don't I buy that.)
[22:55] * Regina Lee visibly seems to relax as she looks off into the distance for a moment.
[22:55] <Regina Lee> Hey Kanri...
[22:55] * Kanri-chan looks back to regina still smiling "so now that yuh know im doing great.. get out of my light."
[22:55] <Yaijinden> Tuesday is coming. Did you bring your coat?
[22:55] <Kanri-chan> what regina
[22:56] <Nelius Raoul> (Tuesday... she referring to their date? Swear to the Seraph, if she intends to ruin it....)
[22:56] <Regina Lee> I'd like to make peace with you.
[22:57] <Regina Lee> We've seem to have had some...friction between us, as of late.
[22:57] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Peace! A delightfully nebulous concept!
[22:57] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium swishes in.

[22:59] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I made a pit stop on Karn this afternoon, convinced the Reverend Mother to mix drinks for me.

[23:04] <Regina Lee> If you're in a race, you want first place
[23:04] <Regina Lee> But if you tie, it's not really the same, right?
[23:04] * Matsumi Kaze frowns at X
[23:04] <Yaijinden> You're trying to make her fight for your love! :O
[23:05] <Nelius Raoul> (So she's intending on going after George for keeps this time.)
[23:05] <Kanri-chan> oh no worry's win or lose im happy.. because my goals arent selfish
[23:06] <Yaijinden> It's a love battle!!
[23:06] * Regina Lee nods.
[23:06] <Regina Lee> I do hope that we become good friends, though.
[23:06] <Regina Lee> One can never have too many of those.
[23:06] * Regina Lee smiles yet again.
[23:06] <Yaijinden> love love love love
[23:07] <Kanri-chan> yes.. and maybe in the end yuh can learn what a "good friend" really is..
[23:07] * Regina Lee frowns a little.
[23:07] <Regina Lee> Excuse me?
[23:07] <Nelius Raoul> (Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I can't trust this yet.)
[23:07] <Kanri-chan> oh nothing.. just being a silly kitty. meow~
[23:08] <Matsumi Kaze> ...what happened to your coat?
[23:08] * Kanri-chan makes a faux kitty face
[23:08] <Regina Lee> No, it was definitely something.
[23:08] <Regina Lee> Do, elaborate.
[23:08] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> My coat?

[23:09] <Kanri-chan> aparently if im a cat.. oone tends to label me as one
[23:10] <Matsumi Kaze> huh...
[23:10] * Kanri-chan giggles "enough about that.. i'd like some tuna.. anyone else?"
[23:10] <Regina Lee> Yet not all cats are pets, though, right?
[23:10] <Regina Lee> Are you not your own person?
[23:10] * Regina Lee frowns yet again.
[23:11] <Matsumi Kaze> you could have just gone shirtless like thrash
[23:11] <Kanri-chan> big brother? yuh want some tuna?
[23:11] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I could, except I have style.

[23:14] * Kanri-chan reaches up on his arm in seemingly genuine concern discreetly sticking her claws in "are yuh sure? yuh just did battle and hvent eaten since earlier.. yuh should at least "try""
[23:14] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I wasn't ready to face her. Not like I was.
[23:14] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium grins
[23:15] <Thrash> ..it's discouraging that's for sure
[23:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But now I'm just a bit more cray.
[23:15] <Thrash> that's why I'm staying out of this
[23:15] <Nelius Raoul> I'm quite all right, Kanri. Though if you're that hungry for tuna--
[23:15] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium grins widely
[23:15] <Thrash> this is your battle, not mine
[23:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It'll be fun, Thrash~
[23:15] * Nelius Raoul pulls out a can of open tuna from seemingly nowhere.
[23:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> All of existence hanging in the balance~
[23:15] <Thrash> Xadium, I have already experenced that
[23:15] <Thrash> it was called father's day

[23:17] * Regina Lee watches Kanri go and goes back to looking at her book/
[23:17] <Nelius Raoul> (Aside from satiating her Tuna-tooth, I wonder what Kanri's really up to. She seems dead set on one-upping Regina. Then again, considering her earlier behavior...)
[23:17] <Thrash> I will be on call
[23:17] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ restaurant kitchen ]
[23:17] <Thrash> i fyou need me simply contact me

[23:19] * Nelius Raoul [Kitchen] enters and moves the bowls Kanri needs down further, so she can reach them.
[23:19] * Kanri-chan [restaurant kitchen] is looking irritated "dense.. yuh are seriously dense"
[23:20] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] ...what?
[23:20] * Kanri-chan [restaurant kitchen] obviously doesnt need a bowl.. one has tuna already
[23:20] * Regina Lee is peacefully reading her book.

[23:21] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] ...very well. What's your plan?

[23:23] <The Actuary> Heh. I prefer a plan.
[23:23] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> you haven't got one~ ♫
[23:23] * Regina Lee puts her book down for a moment, her page bookmarked, and takes out her cellphone.
[23:23] <Yaijinden> pfft
[23:23] <The Actuary> ¬_¬
[23:23] <The Actuary> Admittedly, I'm at a loss.
[23:23] * Matsumi Kaze is back
[23:23] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant kitchen] heeelp DX
[23:24] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> No you're not, you're getting more information by the day.
[23:24] * Matsumi Kaze walks back down with a box and opens it, taking out a small wooden statue of a shinto god
[23:24] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] How?
[23:24] <Matsumi Kaze> hmmmmmm
[23:24] <Matsumi Kaze> why's this special?
[23:24] * Regina Lee texts George Glass ◜Hey Georgie. Are we still on for Mayu's new Open Mic Night tomorrow? ◞
[23:24] <The Actuary> You know what I mean.
[23:24] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant kitchen] i dont like talking to her.. and she tried to flick my ears...
[23:24] * Regina Lee puts her phone down beside her on the sofa, picks up her book, and continues reading where she left off.
[23:24] <The Actuary> Mother's gone off the deep end and wants to rewrite reality.
[23:25] * The Magistra looks at E. E. "Doc" Xadium.
[23:25] *** E. E. "Doc" Xadium is your average everyday E. E. "Doc" Xadium
[23:25] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I'll say this, she dreams big.
[23:25] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] She does seem rather set on one-upping you.
[23:25] * Matsumi Kaze loooooooooooks
[23:25] *** LOL why does it not work for anyone else
[23:25] * E.E. "Doc" Xadium looks in the mirror.

[23:26] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant kitchen] im tying to make her go away.. all she wants is to brag about george probably..
[23:26] <The Actuary> Yes well, for once I wish she had more mundane ambitions.
[23:26] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] She mentioned something going to happen on Tuesday.... don't want to pry too much, but what's going to happen Tuesday?
[23:26] <The Magistra> ....Is this the same X as normal. How many times are you going to change your lookx
[23:26] * Kanri-chan [restaurant kitchen] whips up some beautiful tuna with a celery spoon
[23:26] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium leans on the wall and takes the pen out of his mouth, pointing at her.
[23:26] * Matsumi Kaze pokes the statue a bit......poke poke poke...
[23:26] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant kitchen] i dont know..
[23:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It is not.
[23:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> And Nori.
[23:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> The answer's up here. *taps his head*
[23:27] <The Actuary> Hmm?
[23:27] * The crack still shimmers faintly off to the side. It's still stable. There. Waiting for more people to think about poking it.
[23:27] * George Glass texts Regina Lee ◜Yeah, sure, I'm still up for it. You mind if I bring a friend or two along?◞
[23:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Everything about your mother is Psychology.
[23:27] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] Honestly, maybe I'm over-thinking it, but she must be up to something.
[23:27] * The Magistra is tempted to try sealing the crack with her gunblade
[23:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Pieces of the mind smashed together by fate and circumstance.
[23:28] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant kitchen] she is nelius...
[23:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> New beings formed and detached as time progresses.
[23:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Mental issues that become physical manifestations.
[23:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Etc.
[23:28] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium takes a yardstick.
[23:29] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium pokes at the crack
[23:29] * Matsumi Kaze frowns at the statue and puts it back in it's box
[23:29] <Matsumi Kaze> well that was pointless!!!
[23:29] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] Then there's the problem of the alternate mes, the ones that spied on the cafe and at the carnival......

[23:29] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium grins back at the crack
[23:29] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant kitchen] we've been gone too long.. lets go.. we'll talk later over movie night right?
[23:29] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Hello~
[23:29] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] Might as well.
[23:29] * Regina Lee feels her phone vibrate and picks it up. She reads the text and frowns a little. (A friend? Who???)
[23:29] <Nelius Raoul> [Kitchen] Though considering recent events, anything can happen, so be aware.
[23:30] * Kanri-chan [restaurant kitchen] grabs the bowl and walks back out
[23:30] * Regina Lee quickly texts back.
[23:30] * Kanri-chan has moved back to the lobby
[23:30] <Kanri-chan> i know nelius.. i know
[23:30] <The Actuary> What kind of psychotheraphy would work on Nightfall.
[23:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Dunno! Havent' met her.
[23:30] * Nelius Raoul has moved back to the lobby
[23:30] * Regina Lee texts George Glass ◜Oh... well I was hoping it would just sort of be the two of us, you know? Like a date...◞
[23:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I was spending all this time running from her.
[23:30] * Regina Lee texts George Glass ◜Who would you be bringing???◞
[23:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Finally decided to dig in my heels.
[23:31] <Nelius Raoul> (There's many things going on.... Nightfall, the Rain-Aster deal, this Paisley-clone....)
[23:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> You and I-- we need to close this chapter in our family history.
[23:31] <Matsumi Kaze> what bout group therepy?
[23:31] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium snaps his fingers.
[23:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Might work.
[23:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But we need the right group.
[23:31] * Kanri-chan sets her tuna down by where nelius was sitting causehe'll obviously sit there agai. and hops over to the soda machine for a gingy
[23:31] * Regina Lee bites her lip, trying not to worry. She places her phone down beside her again, and she jiggles her leg a tiny bit as she picks her book back up to attempt to read it some more.
[23:32] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> A dragon, a Mist Runner, a Megalomaniac.
[23:32] <The Actuary> and a few select others.
[23:33] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> She wants to live. And she wants to rewrite.
[23:33] * Regina Lee hasn't noticed that Kanri briefly came back over, her mind on other things.
[23:33] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But my long history-- and even this crisis-- has already taught me-- that's not possible. Not fully.
[23:33] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Someone always remembers.
[23:33] * Kanri-chan goes back to her tuna and takes a bite from her celery spoon
[23:34] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> the past will always bleed through.
[23:34] <Kanri-chan> mmmmmm~ nelius its so good!
[23:34] <Nelius Raoul> (And now someone who wants to set off a metaphorical pissing contest over attracting towards another.....)
[23:34] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> What's important is to make something better out of the mix.
[23:34] <Yaijinden> ♫
[23:34] * George Glass texts Regina Lee ◜You know we're not dating. We just hook up every once in a while. And you don't know her, she's a Neptunian Senshi like me.◞
[23:35] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Even if she were to win, how long before the new "HorrorTerrors" of 1337A rise up for their place on the podium once more?
[23:35] <Regina Lee> (What...? It's not Kanri?)
[23:35] * Regina Lee glances over at Kanri briefly, her gaze hidden beneath her bangs, before turning back to her phone to respond.
[23:37] <The Magistra> Test
[23:37] <The Actuary> The last time this happened we were taken by surprise.
[23:37] * Nelius Raoul gets out a fork, and tries some of Kanri's dish.
[23:37] <The Actuary> This time, it's a known existential threat.
[23:37] <Nelius Raoul> (Interesting.)
[23:37] * Kanri-chan smacks the fork away
[23:38] * Regina Lee texts George Glass ◜Is it that Samantha woman? I didn't think she was your type....◞
[23:38] <The Actuary> I think she'd find that her new utopia wouldn't remain so for very long.
[23:38] <Kanri-chan> no metal! yuh dont put metal in tuna! yuhll ruin the flavor.
[23:38] * George Glass texts Regina Lee ◜HAH! God no. I didn't think you had such a sense of humor. ◞
[23:38] <Nelius Raoul> .....
[23:39] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium thumbs his nose. "Now, now. Don't get all caught up in that. It's window dressing."
[23:39] <Nelius Raoul> I'll be right back, then.
[23:39] * George Glass texts Regina Lee ◜Don't worry about it. I'll pick you up tomorrow. We can have some fun beforehand if you want.◞
[23:39] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium finds a fishing pole
[23:39] <Kanri-chan> use the celery spoons.. i put them there for a reason
[23:39] <Regina Lee> Hmm...
[23:39] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium casts a line into the crack and leaves it to see if anything bites.
[23:39] <Nelius Raoul> ....very well.
[23:39] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[23:39] * Nelius Raoul uses a celery spoon to try some of the dish.
[23:39] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d3 [ 2 ]
[23:40] * Kanri-chan nudges one of the spoos to him
[23:40] <The Actuary> ...seriously?
[23:40] <Nelius Raoul> (Hm... this is pretty good.)
[23:40] * Regina Lee texts Regina Lee ◜Alright. I'll be waiting for you, wearing that Special Gift you gave me. ;)◞

[23:40] * - A female Swedish Chef-- no seriously where did they all come from and how does she get them all?-- tumbles from the crack.
[23:40] <Nelius Raoul> ??
[23:40] * Regina Lee smiles a little bit, though she looks uneasy. She puts her phone away and sighs.
[23:40] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium sends it to work in the kitchens.
[23:40] <Kanri-chan> celery is mainly water so it doesnt change the taste
[23:40] * Nelius Raoul notices the beeping.
[23:41] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Look, we'll have fresh Lutefisk!
[23:41] <Nelius Raoul> (Hm, he's back.)
[23:41] <The Actuary> Oh god.
[23:41] <Matsumi Kaze> YUM
[23:41] <The Actuary> Try again.
[23:41] <The Magistra> Is that a mupppet?
[23:41] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium casts the line again
[23:41] <Prince Obsidian> hmmm.
[23:41] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[23:41] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium seriously contemplates pushing Obsidian into the crack.
[23:41] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d3 [ 3 ]
[23:42] * Regina Lee looks up and over to Kanri and Nelius and asks them, "Hey, what's going on?"
[23:42] * - The line pulls back a tangled collection of used and rather sticky chains.
[23:42] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Egh. How unsanitary.
[23:42] <Kanri-chan> tuna
[23:42] * Nelius Raoul looks over at Obsidian.
[23:42] <The Actuary> Meh, I'll refurbish them.
[23:43] * The Actuary gets some gloves on.
[23:43] <Nelius Raoul> (Wonder what he's doing here....)
[23:43] * The Actuary moves the chains over to a box and packs them away, then burns the gloves.
[23:43] <The Actuary> Let em try.
[23:43] <The Actuary> ^me
[23:43] * The Actuary casts the line.
[23:44] <Matsumi Kaze> OH GOD

[23:45] * The Actuary boots it into the kitchen to work.
[23:45] * The Actuary has an idea.
[23:45] * The Actuary gets those chains sterilized
[23:45] <Matsumi Kaze> is he gone?
[23:45] * The Actuary then casts them into the crack
[23:45] * Regina Lee is feeling ignored.
[23:45] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Is who gone?
[23:45] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[23:46] * The Actuary is fishing with the chains
[23:46] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d3 [ 1 ]
[23:46] <spiritflame> The Actuary rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[23:46] <Nelius Raoul> Sorry Matsumi, he's still there. If that beeping is any indication, he's looking for something.
[23:46] <spiritflame> The Actuary rolls 1d3 [ 2 ]
[23:46] * Prince Obsidian points the scanner at E.E. "Doc" Xadium causing it to responded with an affirmative beep.
[23:47] * Kanri-chan is more interested in her delicious tuna than the snide woman.. come on she's a cat.. and its tuna
[23:47] * Matsumi Kaze keeps hiding and staying close to noriko
[23:47] * - Two books come free. Both are old looking and surprisingly blank.
[23:47] <Kanri-chan> regina did yuh need something?

[23:47] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Heat source, Nori.

[23:47] * The Actuary gets a small flame
[23:47] <Kanri-chan> yuh sure? ya look worried.
[23:47] <The Magistra> Gah! Don't burn them
[23:47] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium carefully heats the pages
[23:48] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> 9_9
[23:48] * - Nothing happens! The book is a blank book. Both seem to be.
[23:48] <The Actuary> Interesting.
[23:48] <Nelius Raoul> (From what I heard of the Black Moon Clan, they'd fit into the Netherworld rather well.... too bad this place isn't the Netherworld.)
[23:48] <Matsuo Shin> perhaps they are meant to be written in

[23:48] * The Actuary runs a temporal scan on them to see when they--
[23:49] <The Actuary> yes that's what I was thinking.
[23:49] <The Actuary> That these might be future works.
[23:49] * Regina Lee doesn't seem to be looking at Kanri as she asks, "Are you busy tomorrow night?"
[23:49] <The Actuary> Or works of a timeline as of yet unwritten.
[23:49] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium rigs upa pulley mechanism
[23:49] * - While they are not from the future, time seems to be running a tad bit faster around them.
[23:49] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium hooks the chains on them and tries again
[23:50] * Kanri-chan looks around for another possible person regina could have meant that for "me?"
[23:50] <The Actuary> There are slightly desynchronous.

[23:50] <The Magistra> Give them to me, I'll give them to Uncle Nivek to examine. Given how many books he has he might be able to figure something out
[23:50] * The Actuary goes and takes some paneling out from the HOTEL walls and tries to make a device to resync the flow of time over them.
[23:50] <The Actuary> I'm working.
[23:50] <Matsumi Kaze> ..ever think of trimming those eyebrows?
[23:51] <spiritflame> @E.E. "Doc" Xadium rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[23:51] * - The trashing tentacle of a HorrorTerror is fished free. it's likely connected to the rest of it still.
[23:51] <spiritflame> @E.E. "Doc" Xadium rolls 1d3 [ 1 ]
[23:51] * Somebody looks at s at the books..
[23:51] *** s at the books. is your average everyday s at the books.
[23:51] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium kicks it back
[23:51] * Somebody looks at the books.
[23:51] <The Actuary> I like them like this. They're stern.
[23:51] <Regina Lee> Who else would I be talking to, Kanri.
[23:51] * - The books seem to be naturally evening out with the current timeline.
[23:51] <The Actuary> Interesting.
[23:52] * The Actuary looks to see if any contents appear.
[23:52] <Kanri-chan> (um anyone but me?) i dont know.. why?
[23:52] * - Nothing appears. It simply seems that where they were pulled from runs fast.
[23:52] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium decides to try one more time.
[23:52] * One of the candles in the restaurant is lit.
[23:52] * The Actuary tries the opposite tack
[23:53] * The Actuary speeds up time over the book
[23:53] * - Still nothing happens.
[23:53] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[23:53] <The Actuary> Fuh.
[23:53] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d3 [ 1 ]

[23:53] <spiritflame> @E.E. "Doc" Xadium rolls 1d3 [ 1 ]
[23:53] <Matsuo Shin> what about psychometry
[23:54] * - A backpack tumbles free. It's tattered and well-used.
[23:54] * The Magistra walks over and puts her hands on the book, her eyes turning blue.
[23:54] <The Actuary> Do you know a Psychometrist?
[23:54] <Kanri-chan> me and yuh? hang out?
[23:54] <Regina Lee> Yes.
[23:54] <The Magistra> I have beter
[23:54] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium investigates the backpack.
[23:54] <Regina Lee> I wouldn't really ask anyone else that's here to hang out. It's not like I know them.
[23:54] * The Magistra reads the books timeline.
[23:54] <Nelius Raoul> (Kanri, do be careful. Something about this is awfully wrong.)
[23:54] * The Actuary lets Magistra have a go at it.
[23:55] * - The backpack contains various survival goods, a tattered and scorched old journal, and various other small goods that are relatively uninteresting.
[23:55] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ...
[23:55] <Matsuo Shin> ...
[23:55] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Sorry about this.
[23:55] * Matsuo Shin walks over and picks up the journel
[23:55] * - The book is still blank guys.
[23:56] <Matsuo Shin> hm...
[23:56] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium investigates the Jour-- or he does.
[23:56] * Matsuo Shin looks at the first page
[23:56] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I think that's Abe's.
[23:56] * The Magistra doesnt CARE about the books' contents. She cares about it's timeline. Info please? Where was it before this, where'd did this come froom
[23:56] <Kanri-chan> um thanks but.. i kinda have plans with my brother here.. its movie night..
[23:56] <Kanri-chan> (i dont trust her)
[23:57] * - Oh don't be snippy I gave you the info that when you fished it out the time ran faster around it as the clue. Figure it out.
[23:57] * A face in the candle flame looks at the book.
[23:57] * Matsuo Shin flips through several pages
[23:57] <Regina Lee> Oh, is that right?
[23:57] <Regina Lee> That's...quite a shame.
[23:57] * Prince Obsidian is still fiddling with his scanner in the background.
[23:57] * Regina Lee sighs and puts her bag away and she gets to her feet.
[23:58] <Regina Lee> I was hoping we'd hang out with George together.
[23:58] * Kanri-chan nods "yea"
[23:58] <The Actuary> Try marking one of the pages.
[23:58] * Regina Lee smiles a little sadly...?
[23:58] * - The journal has various scratchings and notes about different locations, doodles of people and things, translations of words and dialects.
[23:58] <Kanri-chan> thats ok.. yuh go ahead..
[23:58] * The Actuary directed that to Magistra.
[23:58] <Regina Lee> I'm gonna head out. There's a midnight pick-up game I was invited to.
[23:58] * A face in the candle flame looks at Prince Obsidian.

[23:58] * Regina Lee turns to face Kanri once more and smiles.
[23:58] <Matsuo Shin> hm....
[23:58] <Regina Lee> I'll see you around.
[23:58] <Regina Lee> Have a nice night.
[23:59] <Matsuo Shin> ...I may need some help with this...
[23:59] <Kanri-chan> yea.. yuh too
[23:59] * A face in the candle flame looks at Matsuo Shin.

His image Song is: "Finale and End Credits" by John Williams.
[23:59] <Matsuo Shin> Xadium..know anyone who would fit the job?
[23:59] * Regina Lee quickly leaves before the tears that are filling her eyes can stream down her cheeks and be seen by everyone.
[23:59] *** Regina Lee [dreamywonders@goldcircle.org] has left #suburbansenshi2
[23:59] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> You're the archaeologist.
[00:00] <Matsuo Shin> ..alright then..I'll do it myself
[00:00] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But that's Abe's. I say store it for safekeeping.
[00:00] <Matsuo Shin> alright
[00:00] <Matsuo Shin> I'll keep it safe
[00:01] <Kanri-chan> nelius?
[00:02] <Nelius Raoul> Yes, Kanri?
[00:02] * The Magistra draws a smiley face in the book with a green marker
[00:02] * - The book is now incredibly happy.
[00:02] * The Actuary wants to see how the markings are affected by the temporal differential.
[00:03] * Nelius Raoul gets the idea to err on the side of caution, and discreetly motions for Kanri to head to the Resturant.
[00:03] <The Actuary> It is possible the thing is merely blank.
[00:03] * - The book itself has naturally synced with the timeline of the HOTEL.
[00:03] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ restaurant ]
[00:04] <The Actuary> If time was running faster, it was probably from a parallel discontinuous timeline.
[00:04] * Nelius Raoul has moved to: [ Resturant ]
[00:04] <The Actuary> One that runs a few seconds or so ahead.
[00:04] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] enters the Resturant after Kanri.... why is there a candle still lit?
[00:04] * The Actuary looks at her readings, just how many seconds ahead was it...
[00:05] * - 1 minute = 30 minutes to the book upon it's first scan.
[00:05] * Nelius Raoul [Resturant] takes Kanri to the back, into the kitchen. He wants to be far enough from prying ears.
[00:05] <The Actuary> 1
[00:05] <The Actuary> 1:30...
[00:05] * The Actuary takes a camera and rigs up a probe...
[00:05] * A face in the candle flame looks at The Actuary.
[00:05] *** The Actuary is
More information about her is Here.
Her image Song is: 'KiryuG+kiLL' Hiphop remix by Hiroyuki Sawano.
[00:05] <Nelius Raoul> OK Kanri, what's on your mind?
[00:06] * The Actuary surrounds it with a temporal acceleration field of 1:30....
[00:06] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] yes nelius?
[00:06] <The Magistra> Why have not thought of this before?
[00:06] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] i dont like her.. she gives me creepy vibes
[00:06] * The Actuary decides to see what it registers if it's places in the crack
[00:06] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[00:07] * The Actuary hopes it will sync with the proper timestream
[00:07] <spiritflame> The Actuary rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]
[00:08] * - The first that's seen is a large throne room, but then everything begins running fast. Then there's darkness. Then the camera stops responding.
[00:08] <The Actuary> Well, well.
[00:08] <The Actuary> It seems thirty minutes into the future there is a co-existent timeline.
[00:09] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] You're not the only one, Kanri.
[00:09] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Hmm.
[00:09] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium thinks...
[00:09] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Considering how she acted last time she was here, to suddenly want to make amends.... I don't trust it so easily.
[00:09] <The Magistra> Could we go thorugh the crack and not die or get stuck
[00:10] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> The crack is controlled but...
[00:10] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Where... WHERE have I heard o this before...
[00:10] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] nods and groans "she's making my head sp[in.. i think she's bipolar"
[00:10] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> There was a city...
[00:10] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> The inhabitants were shifted...
[00:11] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Normal people walking amongst them couldn't see them...
[00:11] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] If you ever do accept one of her offers, take extreme caution. I got a BAD feeling about this.
[00:11] * A face in the candle flame looks at E.E. "Doc" Xadium.
[00:11] *** E.E. "Doc" Xadium is
More information about him is Here.

E.E. "Doc" Xadium is an IRC Operator - Channel Administrator
[00:11] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium takes his glasses
[00:11] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium phase-shifts the lenses to the 1:30 ratio
[00:11] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium puts them back on
[00:12] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium looks atround the Lobby
[00:12] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] oh of course.. why do yuh think i made up movie night? thats tonight
[00:12] * - It's distorted. you guys are so close to how this works. Remember: time was running fast around the book.
[00:12] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] I see.
[00:12] * - 1 minute = 30 minutes.
[00:13] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Fuh. Never mind the crack, it IS around us...
[00:13] *** Math is not my skill this late, can one of the other players help me XD
[00:13] <Matsuo Shin> (( X...are ANY of us actually decent at math? ))
[00:13] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> We;re right in the middle of something, if only I could get this just so...
[00:13] * - Anyone can! Or I can just explain it. I am willing to do that.
[00:14] * - You guys are just overthinking this :)
[00:14] *** Plox XD
[00:14] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] soooo movie night?
[00:14] * - Time isn't ahead on the other side of the rift. Time is running faster. If 1 minute passes in this world, 30 pass beyond the rift.
[00:14] * - 1 minute = 30 minutes.
[00:14] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Depends on the movies you got available. I only got my room a few days ago, so it's not exactly stocked.
[00:16] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium just adjusts the glasses so that it scans at 30 times normal speed and looks around the regular lobby
[00:16] * - The lobby is fine. The crack does lead to a separate realm entirely.
[00:16] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] grins "i have yumi's library! she has tooooooons.. what genre do yuh want?
[00:16] * A face in the candle flame stops flickering when viewed in this way.
[00:16] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Okay so I was off.
[00:17] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium makes another camera housing
[00:17] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Though once this whole deal with the box is lifted... (I wonder if my Netherworld is even accessable from here...)
[00:17] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium adusts it to scan at 30x speed and lowers it into the crack
[00:17] <spiritflame> @E.E. "Doc" Xadium rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[00:17] <Yaijinden> You had it on backwards! :O
[00:17] <spiritflame> @E.E. "Doc" Xadium rolls 1d3 [ 2 ]
[00:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> What can I say, new brain. Still cooking.
[00:18] * - The bath house is marble and shimmering clean. Statues of naked men and women stand at strategic places around the edge holding towels and other bathing items.
[00:19] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ...There's a Bath House in there. How positively Roman.
[00:19] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium reels up the camera.
[00:19] <The Magistra> It leads to rome?
[00:19] * - A group of women are currently bathing. None seem at all worth gaining names beyond NPC Woman 1, 2, 3.
[00:19] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> There were some bathers.
[00:19] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium erases the footage
[00:20] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It's interesting. time runs 30x faster in there.
[00:20] <The Actuary> That could explain something.
[00:20] <The Actuary> The power gap.
[00:20] <The Actuary> If they're evolving at 30x normal speed...
[00:21] <The Actuary> Then it's no wonder that they're so much stronger than they should be.
[00:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It also means 30 times the damage is happening to Darkness if it is Mania in there.
[00:21] <The Actuary> (If it is Damage)
[00:21] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] nelius?
[00:22] <The Actuary> You know, it could be a willing symbiosis, as much as I hate to admit it.
[00:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Really?
[00:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> for someone who wants to be so independent?
[00:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Not convinced.
[00:22] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] pokes nelius
[00:23] <The Actuary> Or... she could be feeding off Mania.
[00:23] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Yeah?
[00:23] <The Actuary> If she needs to be attached to a being...
[00:23] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] movie night?
[00:23] <Matsuo Shin> using her as a power source?
[00:23] <The Actuary> This could be the exact reverse of what we think.
[00:23] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Like I said, I don't have much to watch. What have you got?
[00:23] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> "What if's", kids.
[00:24] <Yaijinden> They're so shiny!
[00:24] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> While we're spinning our wheels out here, they're growing.
[00:24] <Matsuo Shin> ...
[00:24] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Unless movie night is code for something else.
[00:25] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> We might want t o do something about that.
[00:25] <Matsuo Shin> would there be a way to make the timeline in there..synch with the timeline here?
[00:25] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium grins at Matsuo
[00:25] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> My thoughts exactly.
[00:25] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> The book synched itself to our timeline.
[00:26] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ restaurant ]
[00:26] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Which means that the accerlative effect isn't natural to things in there.
[00:26] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] what genre do yuh want?
[00:26] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It's probably environmental.
[00:26] <Matsuo Shin> if it's artifical...
[00:26] <Matsuo Shin> then there might be a source to it
[00:26] <The Actuary> Still.
[00:27] <The Actuary> That would involve going in, finding it, disabling it.
[00:27] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Never really watched too many movies.... though I guess a good Comedy would be nice.
[00:27] <The Actuary> We could use the Cold.
[00:27] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] she's got about 40 to choose from.. and alot of them are really funny
[00:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ...no.
[00:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> That won't solve this.
[00:27] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] She?
[00:28] * The Actuary nods.
[00:28] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Who are you borrowing from?
[00:28] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] yumi..
[00:28] * The Actuary ponders.
[00:28] * Matsuo Shin thinks
[00:28] <The Actuary> If only we could turn that thing inside out.
[00:28] <The Actuary> force everything in there out here.
[00:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But if their realm's the same size as the universe....
[00:28] <Matsuo Shin> reverse the polarity?
[00:29] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Ah.
[00:29] <The Actuary> Yes. Problem.
[00:29] <Kanri-chan> [restaurant] soooo?
[00:29] <The Actuary> Unless we...
[00:29] <Matsuo Shin> ...not nesscarly
[00:29] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Unless we what.
[00:30] <The Actuary> Had a container the size of a universe~?
[00:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Oh no!
[00:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Not again!
[00:30] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium hugs his TARDIS
[00:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I just got this one out of there!
[00:30] <Nelius Raoul> [Resturant] Let's go, then-- but remember, there's things going on out here as well. We should be careful.
[00:31] <The Actuary> All we'd have to do is throw it in, invert it, and then invert it again.
[00:31] <Matsuo Shin> what about this...
[00:31] <Matsuo Shin> that's possible
[00:31] <The Actuary> The same trick we did for this place.
[00:31] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] nods and changes into kitten form hopping into his pocket (problem solved)
[00:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> WAIT
[00:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Why even bother?!
[00:31] <The Actuary> ?
[00:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> We've already got this universe surrounded.
[00:32] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Why not just accelerate it to match.
[00:32] <Yaijinden> There's only so much one can 'grow' in teahouse RP.
[00:32] <Matsuo Shin> what I was going to say
[00:32] <Matsuo Shin> all you need
[00:32] <Matsuo Shin> is to increase the bleed through
[00:32] * Yaijinden nods sagely!
[00:32] <Matsuo Shin> like dropping food dye into water
[00:32] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium listens to Matsuo
[00:32] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Explain.
[00:32] <Matsuo Shin> think of it this way
[00:32] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> you mean making the crack larger?
[00:32] <Matsuo Shin> not nesscarly
[00:33] * The Actuary listens as well
[00:33] <Matsuo Shin> I'm guessing somehow....the two aren't mixing right now
[00:33] <Matsuo Shin> the timelines aren't synched up...
[00:33] <Matsuo Shin> what could be done..somehow I don't know how
[00:34] * Nelius Raoul has moved back to the lobby
[00:34] <Matsuo Shin> is allow our timeline..to bleed into theirs...
[00:34] * There is a crackling noise behind them.
[00:34] * Nelius Raoul heads upstairs to his room, listening to the conversation along the way. (So they're planning to bleed--)
[00:34] <Matsuo Shin> it's..hard to explain
[00:34] * Kanri-chan [restaurant] move
[00:34] <Nelius Raoul> ...what was that?
[00:34] <Matsuo Shin> ??
[00:34] * Matsuo Shin turns around
[00:34] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Same difference. We'd have to basically make a ton more cracks.
[00:35] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> The problem is the HorrorTerrors.
[00:35] * Kanri-chan has moved back to the lobby
[00:35] <Matsuo Shin> yes that's the problem
[00:35] <The Actuary> no, no...
[00:35] <The Actuary> the horrorTerrors are invading us...
[00:35] <Matsuo Shin> or..there is..one other problem
[00:35] <Matsuo Shin> ...that I just thought of
[00:35] <The Actuary> Hmm?
[00:35] <Matsuo Shin> ....it might give nightfall the foot she needs to erase our timeline
[00:35] <Matsuo Shin> if we link them up
[00:36] <The Actuary> I say we DO link them up.
[00:36] <The Actuary> they're slowly merging anyway.
[00:36] <Matsuo Shin> ...I'm starting to think we need to rethink this
[00:36] <The Actuary> If we act first, we can at least control the unification of the timelines.
[00:37] <The Actuary> Drag her down to our speed.
[00:37] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Nori, you'd have to have a blitzkrieg ready.
[00:37] <Matsuo Shin> but what if this is what she wants...
[00:37] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Could you take an entire universe before she can react?
[00:37] <Matsuo Shin> it could make her timeline dominate over ours
[00:38] <The Actuary> [[
[00:38] <The Actuary> (I could shut them BOTH down right now)
[00:38] <The Actuary> ..no.
[00:38] <The Actuary> I have no intelligence on her tactical situation.
[00:39] * The Actuary growls
[00:39] * Matsuo Shin looks at Noriko
[00:39] * Matsuo Shin just...LOOKS at her
[00:39] <The Actuary> /em raises her eyes to lock gazes
[00:39] <The Actuary> Yes?
[00:40] <The Magistra> ....
[00:40] <Matsuo Shin> ....nothing
[00:40] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium observes the crack.
[00:40] * The Magistra senses tension and goes and gets tea to calm people down
[00:40] <The Actuary> I could destroy both universes right now.
[00:41] * - The crack doesn't even have that foreboding "I'm watching you" feel that most would imagine from a villain. It's just a crack with a specific series of destinations.
[00:41] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Yes, you could.
[00:41] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But you won't.
[00:42] <The Actuary> I'm frustrated because I WANT TO SOLVE THIS.
[00:42] <The Actuary> I don't want to use technological trickery!
[00:42] <Matsuo Shin> yes but we aren't going to solve this by charging in
[00:42] <The Actuary> I want to END THIS CHAPTER.
[00:42] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Me too.
[00:42] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But Matsuo's right.
[00:42] <Matsuo Shin> then think
[00:42] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Let's go back to first principles.
[00:43] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> This crack as an interesting attribute.
[00:43] <The Magistra> Zennay could have stopped the villain, but you stopped her
[00:43] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Only this end is fixed.
[00:43] <The Magistra> You want things to end but you don't want to attack the source
[00:43] <The Actuary> The source is MY MOTHER.
[00:43] <The Magistra> Then stay out of the fight.
[00:43] <The Actuary> Get that through your head.
[00:43] <The Actuary> No.
[00:43] <The Actuary> this is my fight more than yours.

[00:44] <@spiritflame> konbanwa adam kanal
[00:44] <The Actuary> More than you will EVER know.
[00:44] <The Magistra> If Eitak was the one pulling on the strings, what would you say to me.
[00:44] <The Actuary> And I need to end it on a good note.
[00:44] <The Actuary> Oh I'd try to kill her.
[00:44] <The Actuary> And you'd try to stop me.
[00:44] <Matsuo Shin> we need to think through this with a clear head
[00:44] <The Actuary> I know how it goes.
[00:45] <The Actuary> It's not going to change my mind.
[00:45] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> AS I was saying, kids.
[00:45] * Matsuo Shin walks over and glances at the crack
[00:45] <Matsuo Shin> fixed postion
[00:45] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> The crack only has one fixed end.
[00:45] <Matsuo Shin> so deliberatly placed there
[00:45] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> The other end seems to shift.
[00:45] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Because the first time we saw a throne room.
[00:46] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> then we saw a bath.
[00:46] <The Magistra> And neither of those locations would prodcue the stuff we pulled out
[00:46] <Matsuo Shin> why a throne room?
[00:46] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Headquarters.
[00:46] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium pulls up the sensor logs.
[00:46] <Matsuo Shin> yes but why show us that
[00:46] <Matsuo Shin> and the bath as well
[00:47] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> not showing us.
[00:47] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It's where it goes. Like a wormhole with a wnadering end.
[00:47] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Now hang on...
[00:47] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> At a Theta-Random frequency of 9... the Camera showed the throne Room.
[00:48] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> At 2... it's the Bath house...
[00:48] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Let me test that.
[00:48] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium sets up a camera to a Theta Random Frequency of 9 and places it in the crack
[00:48] <The Magistra> Try the other fequencies?
[00:48] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Hush will you.
[00:48] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I want to see if this pulls up the throne Room.
[00:49] * Adam Kanal silently mouths "Theta-Random?" to himself.
[00:49] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> There's two possible variables, not sure I'm selecting the right one.
[00:49] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium has adjusted the spatio-temporal variables.
[00:49] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[00:49] * Matsuo Shin puts Abe's journel away in his inside pocket
[00:50] * - The room opens up into winding colors and the sight of horrorterrors flying about in the distance.
[00:50] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium studies the monitor
[00:50] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Hmm, Possibly not.
[00:51] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Or it's shifted.
[00:51] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium retrieves the camera.
[00:51] *** F[BLEEP]k I stayed up too late again
[00:51] * Matsuo Shin checks his watch
[00:51] <Matsuo Shin> I should get home
[00:51] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Keep on investigating.
[00:51] <Matsuo Shin> or my wife will kill me
[00:52] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I need to think.
[00:52] * Adam Kanal nods.
[00:52] <Matsuo Shin> I'll put the journel in a safe place

[09:14] <The Actuary> ...the kinds of questions that run in your mind.
[09:14] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It's perfectly legitimate.
[09:14] <The Actuary> ~_~
[09:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> They're both raw manifestations of libido, no?
[09:16] <The Actuary> You know. Our reality is being existentially threatened by basically Morrigan on Viagra.

[10:16] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It worked for Magistra but not for you.

[10:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ...reakky what?
[10:17] <Uzume> Going for a new remodel?
[10:17] <The Actuary> I don't think she likes your bow tie.
[10:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I needed to shuffle the deck upstairs.
[10:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Really important that I did that.
[10:18] <Uzume> (also the bowtie is weird yeah)
[10:18] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium adjusts it.
[10:18] <Uzume> You look like you're going to go kidnap dames in the wild wild west!
[10:18] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It's a clip on for easy removal!
[10:18] <Uzume> And then tie them to the train tracks :D
[10:18] <The Actuary> YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PROUD OF THAT

[10:21] <Uzume> I think you missed the casting call a few days too late.

[10:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Also!
[10:22] <Uzume> But one could always stumble into power.
[10:22] <Uzume> Look at this place.

[10:22] <Uzume> ...
[10:22] <The Actuary> STOP FOLLOWING THAT LINE OF THOUGHT
[10:23] <The Actuary> NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF IT
[10:23] <Uzume> You're not serious, are you?
[10:23] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Why not. Mania was pretty OTT herself before she finally left the last time.

[10:24] <Uzume> I'm on the side of Noriko.
[10:24] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Still! It's a question for the ages.
[10:25] <Uzume> I'm going to...right.
[10:25] <Future Furu> The unstoppable [BLEEP] meets the unmovable [BLEEP]
[10:25] <Future Furu> WHICH IS BULLS[BLEEP]T BY THE WAY Juggernaut moved Blob plenty of times.
[10:25] <Future Furu> Therefore, this is a bad idea.
[10:25] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I'm wondering if the are a behind the crack is a ehole universe or just a pocket.

[10:25] * Future Furu opens his mouth to say something
[10:25] <Matsumi Kaze> WHY THE YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[10:25] * Future Furu closes it.
[10:26] <Matsumi Kaze> I CAN YELL TOO YOU KNOW
[10:26] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Because if it's a whole universe then it's got problems.
[10:26] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It might be severely careening towards heat death.
[10:26] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ^must be
[10:26] <Uzume> Heat death, eh?
[10:26] <The Actuary> Because it would be thirty times older than ours.
[10:26] * Matsumi Kaze just glares at Future Furu
[10:27] <The Actuary> But that assumes a common origination point.
[10:27] <The Actuary> It also assumes that the time differential is universal and not localised.
[10:27] <The Actuary> And I think we determined last night it's probably localized.
[10:27] * Kusanagi fades in with a step.
[10:27] <Kusanagi> Uzume. It has been too long.
[10:28] <Future Furu> Bah, using your science!
[10:28] * Matsumi Kaze glaaares at everyooooone
[10:28] * Uzume bows to Kusanagi.
[10:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Science is a thing. So again. I ask. DUELMAN vs Mania..
[10:28] <Uzume> It has been!
[10:28] * Kusanagi bows.
[10:28] * The Actuary clamps her hand over his mouth
[10:28] <Kusanagi> A bad idea.
[10:28] <The Actuary> no just. Let that go.
[10:29] <Kusanagi> That being is a leech.
[10:29] * Kusanagi hisses it through her teeth.

[10:29] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Who's a leech?
[10:29] <Matsumi Kaze> I'll just leave all you guys alone

[10:29] <Future Furu> It's almost a reunion. If I just turned off my sex drive and sense of humor I could fill in for Aizen.
[10:30] <Kusanagi> That blasted thing from ages ago
[10:30] <Uzume> She just...glared at everyone and left?
[10:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So would it be that bad if he just hoovered her up and left Darkness free of her influence?
[10:30] <The Actuary> And then she takes over DUELMAN.
[10:30] <Uzume> No, it wouldn't work like that.
[10:30] <The Actuary> And imagine THAT clusterf[BLEEP]k.
[10:31] <The Actuary> Oh god bad choice of words.
[10:31] * Kusanagi grinds her teeth at the thoughts.
[10:31] <Uzume> More like Noriko's description.
[10:31] <Uzume> Erugh.
[10:31] <Uzume> So what happened to the swords!
[10:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Yeah, letting the thought die.
[10:32] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> The swords...
[10:32] <Kusanagi> Someone else is... using their strength.
[10:32] <The Actuary> Noinblaad. Show yourself.
[10:32] <Kusanagi> I am at best a kitten now more than a guardian lion.
[10:32] <Uzume> But I like kittens...
[10:32] * Livra Noinblaad coalesces.
[10:32] <Future Furu> They're delicious.
[10:33] <Livra Noinblaad> By your command.
[10:33] * Livra Noinblaad bows
[10:33] * Kusanagi clutches her head.
[10:33] <Uzume> Don't eat kittens :<
[10:33] <Uzume> ...
[10:33] <Uzume> You made them a girl?
[10:33] <Future Furu> 'Twas a joke.
[10:33] <The Actuary> I didn't do it.
[10:33] * The Actuary looks over this creation.
[10:33] <Uzume> Who did?
[10:34] * Kusanagi finds something to lean on quietly.
[10:34] <The Actuary> Noinblaad, are you capable of disassociating yourself from the elements that comprise Kusanagi?
[10:34] <The Actuary> Hazenine.
[10:34] <Livra Noinblaad> I do not know.
[10:35] <Livra Noinblaad> I am a composition.
[10:35] <Livra Noinblaad> to do such might destabilize my being fundamentally.
[10:35] <Livra Noinblaad> Nonetheless, if it is a command, I shall endeavour to effectuate it.
[10:35] <Livra Noinblaad> Such were my instructions.
[10:36] <Future Furu> What if we replaced the Kusanagi bits with another magic sword
[10:36] <The Actuary> I was just thinking that.
[10:36] <The Actuary> But I don't get it.
[10:37] * Uzume helps Kusanagi out.
[10:37] <The Actuary> The swords were not absorbed into her.
[10:37] * The Actuary produced her own blade
[10:37] <The Actuary> I still have Vindicator.
[10:37] <Kusanagi> I do not feed of the steel.
[10:37] <Livra Noinblaad> I merely replicated the energy matrices.
[10:37] <Uzume> It's the essence, right?
[10:38] * Kusanagi nods slowly.
[10:38] <Livra Noinblaad> The originals should still be in existence. I am a copy.
[10:38] <mango-san> What if we took her back to the aster room and had her absorb all those swords?
[10:38] * mango-san is away: JUST A THOUGHT
[10:38] * Kusanagi snaps her eyes open.
[10:39] <Kusanagi> What room?
[10:39] <Future Furu> wuhoh
[10:39] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> What?
[10:41] <Kusanagi> If. If I can breathe in others, it is possible I can strengthen myself.
[10:42] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Hmm.
[10:47] <mango-san> The room of the asters.
[10:48] <The Actuary> It shouldn't be hard to get her there. I believe Paisley knows the way.

[10:48] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Yes but wasn't there some incident with the windows?
[10:48] <mango-san> But hey.
[10:48] <mango-san> The windows are sealed
[10:49] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Well then I think we know what needs to be done.
[10:49] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium turns to Kusanagi.
[10:49] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So... difficult conversation time <_<
[10:50] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium leans on a wall, and chews on his pen for a few moments.
[10:50] <Kusanagi> I do not have a lot of time before I must rest, but please go on.
[10:50] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Noriko and Intern have uhh... more or less got me up to date on events.
[10:50] * Kusanagi glances over, silver eyes reflecting light.
[10:51] <mango-san> Okay this room is full of swords and blades and armor from time past
[10:51] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Darkness... what do you think. Can she be saved, or is she too far gone.
[10:51] <mango-san> If we just. Trick the armor of Karna
[10:51] <The Actuary> By switching items?
[10:51] <Kusanagi> They do not need to leave the room.
[10:52] <mango-san> Ok.
[10:52] <Kusanagi> I simply need to feel them.
[10:52] <mango-san> So if we just reason with the armor of Karna.
[10:52] <mango-san> Wait.
[10:52] <mango-san> Suu pressed the cross to her chest right?
[10:52] <mango-san> And they turned to fish.
[10:52] <The Actuary> So I heard.
[10:53] <mango-san> Maybe if Kusanagi presses it to her heart they will stay the way that they are.
[10:53] <Kusanagi> As for the wayward shadow...
[10:54] <The Actuary> Everyone keeps saying she was only good because of her connection to Shaldra.
[10:54] <Kusanagi> I truly do not know.
[10:54] <The Actuary> I don't want to believe that.
[10:54] <Uzume> Kusanagi?

[10:55] * Matsuo Shin wanders in and starts listening
[10:55] <Uzume> I hear Kannon split from Indigo, right?
[10:55] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Can you remember, from the time when you were together... Mania... is there any way to diminish her?

[10:55] <Kusanagi> She has, yes.
[10:55] <Matsuo Shin> what source?
[10:55] * Kusanagi bites her lip, eyes widening.
[10:55] * Kusanagi looks terrified/
[10:56] * Matsuo Shin glances at them..hoping for an answer
[10:56] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> .... What is it. What's wrong?
[10:56] <Uzume> What kept her together? I found something to keep me together...?
[10:56] <Uzume> Kusa?
[10:56] <Matsuo Shin> you alright?
[10:56] <The Actuary> Well Matsuo, the Seven were shadows of others...
[10:57] <Kusanagi> We fought her as we could. I had never seen Shaldra so worried.
[10:57] <The Actuary> Kusanagi from Shaldra...
[10:57] <The Actuary> Uzume from Mango...
[10:57] <The Actuary> Etc.
[10:57] <Matsuo Shin> (( sorry, Shal ))
[10:57] <Kusanagi> Together we were strong. But our host truly was just a woman.
[10:57] <Matsuo Shin> avatars..I see
[10:57] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Hmm.
[10:58] <Kusanagi> She tore us apart from each other.
[10:58] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> As opposed to Mania, which is what really.
[10:58] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> the goddess of myth? Just floarting Libido?
[10:58] <Kusanagi> That thing was pure obsession.
[10:58] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Obsession.
[10:58] <Kusanagi> The shadow was... intrigued.
[10:58] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium listens
[10:59] <Uzume> Hmmm.
[10:59] * The Actuary begins to piece it together
[10:59] * Matsuo Shin listens as well
[10:59] <Kusanagi> They spoke, often it was enough to keep the two settled while our host and I dealt with the rest.
[10:59] <The Actuary> Darkness is obsessed with being independent.
[10:59] <Kusanagi> Then that night it all broke down and Yaijinden slipped into our mind to help.
[11:00] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I remember she had spread quite far in the old days...
[11:00] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium shews his pen thoughtfully.
[11:00] * The Actuary looks to see if there's any hint of malice in her Father's eyes like she saw the other day, but it's gone. His eyes are clear.
[11:00] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I'm okay, Nori.
[11:01] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> We're gonna figure this out somehow.
[11:01] <Kusanagi> That thing was driving our host mad. That was not easy. Our home almost shattered when it took control.
[11:01] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Do you have any idea where it came from?
[11:02] * Matsuo Shin frowns, thinking
[11:02] <Kusanagi> The base? It came from here. From a villain who plagued this place. But it grew beyond that.
[11:02] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Sorry to be so probing but we need information if we're going to stop her.
[11:02] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I don't want any of you to go through that again.
[11:02] <Matsuo Shin> who?
[11:02] <Kusanagi> Everything it caught it took something from.
[11:02] <Matsuo Shin> who was this villian
[11:03] <Kusanagi> I do not remember.
[11:03] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Lust.
[11:03] <Matsuo Shin> hm *nods*
[11:03] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium exhales a bit.
[11:03] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So she's been assimilating.
[11:04] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> and growing 30x faster than those around her.
[11:04] <Kusanagi> That thing holds powers and keeps them. I do not know if there is a limit. It feeds off powers.
[11:04] <Matsuo Shin> like a parasite
[11:04] <Kusanagi> In our time I did not feel it ever burn out.
[11:04] <Matsuo Shin> but how did she gain access to that universe
[11:05] * Kusanagi glances over.
[11:05] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> She went down with it.
[11:05] <Kusanagi> She made it.
[11:05] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Whar?
[11:05] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Wait.
[11:05] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> so where she is...
