welcome to #suburbansenshi2

[21:58] <@Sakura X. Aino> !
[21:59] <Sakura X. Aino> (( I CLAIM THIS LOG IN THE NAME OF IT RESETTING AT THE WORST TIMEs ))
[21:59] *** [21:58] <D. Kakaku> was the one ripped from Diana a royal level crescent, Sakura?
[21:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah.
[21:59] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> Of course it was. She's my guardian cat.
[21:59] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> One of my most trusted advisors.
[21:59] <D. Kakaku> which means it should still be linked, even if stolen, right?
[21:59] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> And one of my best friends.
[22:00] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III thinks
[22:00] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> Yes, but it's a very loose link. I'd need to be pretty close to it for it to resonate with me.
[22:01] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> I can't track it over long distances if that's what you're thinking.
[22:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> Wait though
[22:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> Does the link... work both ways?
[22:01] <D. Kakaku> well, there goes the wind from, hmmm?
[22:01] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> What do you mean 'both ways'?
[22:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well you said you use it to verify that the holder of a crescent has a genuine one because it makes the Ginzuishou react.
[22:02] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> Yes?
[22:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well I've been trying to think about why anyone would take Diana's.
[22:03] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> You should know why. It lets you gain access to all kinds of things. Like the Lunar Palace, the computers, all that.
[22:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> But is there anything more to it
[22:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> May I see that crescent?
[22:04] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> Sure.
[22:04] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III hands it over
[22:04] <@Sakura X. Aino> Pardon me, your highness.
[22:04] * @Sakura X. Aino waves the Crescent around Lady Serenity, trying to will it to affect her Ginzushou, to attract it to her.
[22:04] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III feels a burning sensation in her whole body
[22:05] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> What the--- what are you doing?
[22:05] <@Sakura X. Aino> Trying to see if I can use the crescent to affect the ginzishou like a magnet.
[22:05] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> It's not a valid test. You're venusian.
[22:05] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> Your bloodline can already affect the Ginzuishou.
[22:06] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeahbut not on my own.
[22:06] * @Sakura X. Aino puts the crescent away and tries to pull it from Chibiusa. "Not when it's integrated with you."
[22:06] * nothing happens
[22:06] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> ...
[22:07] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> Are you implying someone took Diana's crecent to get at My Ginzuishou?
[22:07] <D. Kakaku> hmmm
[22:07] * D. Kakaku tries thinking on something.
[22:07] <@Sakura X. Aino> Maybe not yours, but the version of you that's here in this timeline.
[22:07] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> ...
[22:08] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> That little s[BLEEP]t?
[22:08] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> She's even more fused with the Ginzuishou than *I* am.
[22:08] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> Feel free to test your theory on her but I don't think it'll work.
[22:08] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III 's watch beeps
[22:08] <The ~Lady~ Serenity III> I have to go. Please get that to Diana as soon as you can, Sakura.
[22:08] <D. Kakaku> well, who else could have one?
[22:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> I will, thanks for your help!
[22:09] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III blips out
[22:09] * D. Kakaku waves
[22:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> Who else could have what, a Ginzuishou?
[22:09] <D. Kakaku> yeah.
[22:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> Mom has a small piece in her Sailor V Crescent, but not anything super useful
[22:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> Chibiusa does
[22:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> Astrum does...
[22:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> I think that's it at this point in the timeline.
[22:11] <@Sakura X. Aino> Wait. Serena
[22:11] <@Sakura X. Aino> The exchange student
[22:11] <@Sakura X. Aino> She does too
[22:12] <D. Kakaku> so, 1, 2, 3, four crystals.
[22:14] <D. Kakaku> and if that recall poster from two years ago is to be believed, that might be five.
[22:15] <@Sakura X. Aino> Recall poster?
[22:17] <D. Kakaku> yeah, supposedly there was a trading card from some card game I don't know that was named "Silver Crystal" or something, and someone wound up using it to win a tournament or something.
[22:17] <@Sakura X. Aino> ..Weird. But okay let's put that on the list
[22:18] <Vermellia X. Rosso> So wait though
[22:18] <Vermellia X. Rosso> You need the crescent PLUS someone who can affect the Ginzuishou
[22:18] <Vermellia X. Rosso> so either a Venusian or a member of the Lunar Royal Family
[22:19] <@Sakura X. Aino> But no holders of the Ginzuishou have been attacked?
[22:22] * D. Kakaku goes to check the computer for the news while going back to working on the interface and casings for the teleporters.
[22:25] *** Sakura wouldn't know it, Daniel, but didn't something odd happen the other night when you were with Ema and Chibiusa?
[22:25] <D. Kakaku> ...wait, last night
[22:25] <@Sakura X. Aino> Huh?
[22:25] <D. Kakaku> someone WAS attacked, almost killed
[22:26] <D. Kakaku> Chibiusa
[22:26] <@Sakura X. Aino> Wait What!?
[22:26] <@Sakura X. Aino> What happened?!
[22:26] <D. Kakaku> Ema called an uber to take us to the gas station.
[22:27] <D. Kakaku> when Chibiusa went to go to the uber with me following her.
[22:27] * D. Kakaku rubs his shoulder to indicate the location
[22:27] <D. Kakaku> whoever shot her got her right here.
[22:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...she was SHOT!?
[22:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> Is she okay!?
[22:28] <D. Kakaku> yeah, whic was before we went to the gas station
[22:28] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...you really need to learn to lead with the headlines, sir
[22:28] * @Sakura X. Aino calls Chibiusa
[22:28] * D. Kakaku is pretty sure when he recounted the events of the night, he might have included the shooting.
[22:29] *** DETECTIVE Chibiusa [cndygrrl@azabu-jh.ed.jp] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:29] <@spiritflame> konbanwa DETECTIVE Chibiusa
[22:29] <D. Kakaku> it grazed her there.
[22:29] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I'm here, I'm here, I'm okay, don't worry, I healed myself right away. I'm tougher than f[BLEEP]king Deadpool.
[22:30] <@Sakura X. Aino> And you got shot in the shoulder...?
[22:30] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Not even, it grazed me.
[22:30] <@Sakura X. Aino> Grazed...
[22:30] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Yeah as in it didn't go through me
[22:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> I KNOW WHAT GRAZED MEANS
[22:31] <D. Kakaku> when we came back, there was an incomplete attempt to wipe away the evidence, which Chibiusa herself might have unknowingly finished doing for her would-be assassin.
[22:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> Wait
[22:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> She was shot. She heals herself. Everyone leaves.
[22:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> you spend ages out.
[22:32] <@Sakura X. Aino> You come back and the cleanup still wasn't done?
[22:32] <D. Kakaku> yeah.
[22:32] * @Sakura X. Aino 's brain is whirring as she's turning over the facts in her head
[22:33] <@Sakura X. Aino> So you came in and surprised the "cleaner"...
[22:33] <@Sakura X. Aino> but was anyone else there?
[22:33] <D. Kakaku> then Ema puked and Chibiusa wiped it all up... along with all the remaining evidence she was bleeding in the first place.
[22:33] <D. Kakaku> no one else was there
[22:34] <@Sakura X. Aino> So... if no one was there, no one was surprised let's assume... yet all the blood wasn't removed...
[22:34] <@Sakura X. Aino> Why didn't they finish the job?
[22:35] <D. Kakaku> sloppy cleaning? maybe expecting forensics, they didn't think they had enough time?
[22:36] <@Sakura X. Aino> Could be, could be...
[22:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What is it, Aunty Sakura, what's bugging you?
[22:36] <D. Kakaku> and Ironically enough, Chibiusa and Ema, of Forensics finished their cleanup without realising it.
[22:36] <@Sakura X. Aino> Two levels of convenient incompetence.
[22:37] <@Sakura X. Aino> One, the shooter, who presumably was all set to attack, botches the whole deal by just wounding her.
[22:37] <@Sakura X. Aino> Two, the cleaner, who has all the time in the world couldn't finish up a simple blood mopup.
[22:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Okay hold up
[22:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Everyone knows Chibiusa was shot
[22:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Why would you need to hide the blood after that?
[22:39] <Vermellia X. Rosso> It's not like you're hiding the scene of the crime?
[22:39] <D. Kakaku> .... would they be planning on using it for something?
[22:39] * @Sakura X. Aino 's eyes widen at what Daniel just said
[22:39] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...
[22:40] <@Sakura X. Aino> What if the goal wasn't to kill Chibiusa-chan at all
[22:40] <@Sakura X. Aino> But to get her blood
[22:40] <D. Kakaku> but to get her blood?
[22:41] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...that would explain the sloppy "clean up"
[22:41] <Vermellia X. Rosso> they weren't cleaning at all... but collecting.
[22:41] * @Sakura X. Aino nods to Daniel
[22:41] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Why would they want my blood?
[22:42] <D. Kakaku> if they got enough, they could probably squeeze it out into a cup or something.
[22:42] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...gross... a vampire?
[22:43] <D. Kakaku> no, you missed some pertinent information before coming here
[22:43] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert , somewhere, is really f[BLEEP]king offended right now
[22:45] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> what info?
[22:46] <D. Kakaku> well. Diana's crescent for one, and what it can do
[22:46] <D. Kakaku> two, royal families and their advisors and what they have access to.
[22:47] <D. Kakaku> and three, the Ginzuishou holders.
[22:48] * D. Kakaku then gives the long story to Chibiusa.
[22:49] *** DETECTIVE Chibiusa has turned their sound on
[22:49] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...
[22:49] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> But that doesn't make sense... no one came after my Ginzushou
[22:50] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Yet?
[22:50] <@Sakura X. Aino> Btu why collect her blood?
[22:50] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Maybe to make one, like you did just now with her counterpart from 1337-B?
[22:50] <@Sakura X. Aino> But they already have one
[22:51] <D. Kakaku> maybe, like you said, there's more than one holder.
[22:51] * Vermellia X. Rosso is also a detective... a SPACE DETECTIVE even though you rarely see her doing her job
[22:51] <D. Kakaku> my best guess is, they probably know about that, too.
[22:52] <D. Kakaku> and blood should contain DNA, right?
[22:52] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I dunno, Her royal highness didn't even know till she checked with the Lunar computer...
[22:52] <Vermellia X. Rosso> blood would have DNA, yeah.
[22:52] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> My DNA
[22:52] * D. Kakaku might be going on the right, yet wrong track here.
[22:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What're you thinking, Daniel?
[22:53] <D. Kakaku> yeah, perhaps they could use her DNA to see if other holders are around, geneology-wise
[22:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ....
[22:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I'm not sure I agree with that but I think you're close to something
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> like a family tree.
[22:54] <Vermellia X. Rosso> we learned tonight that a Venusian or a Royal can use a crescent to get a Silver Crystal
[22:54] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Adn if they already have a crescent...
[22:55] <@Sakura X. Aino> Then they'd need a Venusian or a royal?
[22:55] <D. Kakaku> with which we saw the effects of.
[22:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...Or maybe Royal Blood
[22:55] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> huh
[22:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Like, be tactical for a sec
[22:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What's easier?
[22:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Kidnapping Chibiusa or getting some of her blood?
[22:56] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Chibiusa-chan is one of the cheapest fighters out there.
[22:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> HEY
[22:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...well it's true. I'll f[BLEEP]k you up!
[22:56] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...
[22:56] <D. Kakaku> Kidnapping her would look like it'd be the easiest option.
[22:56] <@Sakura X. Aino> But blood alone can't...
[22:57] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ........
[22:57] <Vermellia X. Rosso> .......
[22:57] <@Sakura X. Aino> .......
[22:57] <D. Kakaku> ......
[22:57] <D. Kakaku> family tree?
[22:57] <@Sakura X. Aino> You... you think it's easy to kidnap her?
[22:57] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ¬_¬
[22:57] <D. Kakaku> I said would look like
[22:58] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Wow you and I are on opposite wavelengths lol
[22:58] <D. Kakaku> but, getting blood is an insanely easier option.
[22:58] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> That's all right. Haters always understimate my tiny ass.
[22:58] <D. Kakaku> especially in a big city.
[22:58] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> The sporehunters... the internet trolls
[22:59] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> The playstation peeps
[22:59] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> And then I BRING THEM TO SCHOOL
[22:59] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> OH YEAH
[22:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> They ltierally got her blood right at our front door.
[23:00] <D. Kakaku> they probably might have left some of their own DNA behind, except.
[23:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> Those Terrible-senhi...
[23:02] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Huh?
[23:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> They're Genetically Engineered.
[23:03] <D. Kakaku> Genetics, maybe splicing her DNA with theirs?
[23:04] <@Sakura X. Aino> That's my fear...
[23:05] <D. Kakaku> we might not know who wiped it up, because Chibiusa and Ema finished the job of cleaning up for them.
[23:06] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> YOU KEEP MENTIONING THAT
[23:07] <@Sakura X. Aino> it is kida true...
[23:08] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Like, would that really be the only place their DNA would be?!
[23:08] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Wouldn't there just be cloth fibers and crap?
[23:09] <D. Kakaku> there would also be the bullet, but that's gone, too.
[23:09] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I mean Ema said they dug the bullet out o f the wall right? Which means they had to touch the wall? Walk over there?
[23:09] <D. Kakaku> alright
[23:09] * D. Kakaku walks to the wall.
[23:10] <D. Kakaku> you have any luminol or powder?
[23:13] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Yeah
[23:13] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa hands over a bottle she got from the Boss and some Fingerprint Powder
[23:14] *** DETECTIVE Chibiusa is carrying:
--------------------------------------------
1. DETECTIVE NOTEPAD
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
--------------------------------------------
Assets: G¥0 .
[23:14] *** DETECTIVE Chibiusa has placed Luminol in Inventory Slot: 2
[23:14] * D. Kakaku receives the bottle and tries to sprinle some around the bullet hole.
[23:14] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Inventory Put Fingerprint Powder|3
[23:14] *** DETECTIVE Chibiusa has placed Fingerprint Powder in Inventory Slot: 3
[23:15] <D. Kakaku> *sprinkle
[23:15] * there's a faint trace of blood there.
[23:16] <D. Kakaku> we got blood here too, but let's get the prints first.
[23:18] * D. Kakaku uses a fan on the powder, being careful to avoid tampering with the blood.
[23:20] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> The powder is nicely spread
[23:20] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> good job
[23:20] <D. Kakaku> thank you.
[23:22] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Now you gotta lift the prints
[23:23] * D. Kakaku how do I? is there tape?
[23:24] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa gives him some tape
[23:24] <D. Kakaku> *^
[23:24] * D. Kakaku puts the tape onto the prints and carefully peels the tape from the wall.
[23:29] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> That's great! You'll make an awesome Toby!
[23:30] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa hands him an index card to put the tape-lifted prints on
[23:30] * D. Kakaku lays tape down onto the index card.
[23:33] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Okay now we need to run them through the computer
[23:33] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa goes over to one and works it like Ema taught her
[23:33] *** Chibiusa roll 1d10
[23:33] <D. Kakaku> got something for blood? there's some there, too.
[23:33] <spiritflame> DETECTIVE Chibiusa rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[23:34] * Sakura has already run the blood, it's Chibiusa's, probably from the bullet
[23:35] * The computer can't read the prints, it looks like they were masked with some kind of weird lotion
[23:35] * BUT it caught some DNA
[23:35] * The DNA... is a turtle's?
[23:36] <D. Kakaku> lotion?
[23:37] * Thick Skin care lotion that smudged up the print lines
[23:37] <D. Kakaku> unreadable, ugh.
[23:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Yeah but why is there turtle DNA?
[23:42] <D. Kakaku> not sure about it
[23:44] <D. Kakaku> were there any turtles taken recently?
[23:45] <@Sakura X. Aino> We don't keep turtles here.
[23:45] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Yeah not for years and years
[23:46] <D. Kakaku> I mean in general
[23:46] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Nothing on the crime blotter
[23:47] <D. Kakaku> probably took one from the ocean
[23:50] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...why would someone do that?
[23:52] <D. Kakaku> I don't know, probably so they don't go on a police blotter?
[23:54] <@Sakura X. Aino> But why would someone take a turtle period
[23:54] <D. Kakaku> I'm not sure on that one.
[23:57] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Turtle DNA's a really weird and specific thing to find at a crime scene.
[23:58] <D. Kakaku> yeah, that's true.
[23:58] *** Daniel roll 1d20 to see if you qualify for a hint
[23:59] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 14 ]
[23:59] *** Cool. Googlng "Suburban Senshi" and "Turtle" may get you some leads. Back in 30, it is time for One Piece.
[00:27] * Vermellia X. Rosso is still pondering it
[00:27] <D. Kakaku> Wait, Motoki? Gamera?
[00:27] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ..Motoki...
[00:28] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I haven't thought about him since he went off to live with Mako-chan...
[00:28] * @Sakura X. Aino runs the DNA of the turtle against his pet turtle Kamekichi
[00:28] * It's a match
[00:28] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...........................
[00:28] <@Sakura X. Aino> What.
[00:29] <D. Kakaku> The heck?!
[00:29] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Why is Kamekichi's DNA on the wall there?
[00:31] <D. Kakaku> maybe someone with its DNA took it off the wall? don't know just spitballing.
[00:32] * @Sakura X. Aino uses her sonic to scan the entire wall
[00:32] <@Sakura X. Aino> The DNA is only in the area near where the bullet hit it
[00:34] <D. Kakaku> yeah, which is why I spitballed the idea.
[00:34] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> But a turtle doesn't have fingers
[00:35] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...A turtle's owner does.
[00:35] <D. Kakaku> hmm, so does that mean the assassin is....
[00:35] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> You saying we need to bring in Motoki-san?!
[00:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Well if we assume the cleaner and the shooter were the same person.
[00:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> And again, it doesn't feel like an assassination
[00:37] <D. Kakaku> hmhmm
[00:40] * Vermellia X. Rosso listens to Daniel humming to himself
[00:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Where do we find him?
[00:40] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> His house?
[00:40] <D. Kakaku> if he's even still there.
[00:41] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well Daniel.
[00:41] <D. Kakaku> hm?
[00:42] <@Sakura X. Aino> Why don't we complete your teleport gear and you can go on an extraction mission?
[00:42] <D. Kakaku> of course.
[00:43] <D. Kakaku> I've finished the housings, and the interface is almost done.
[00:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> Okay when that's done I'll set up the rest
[00:46] <D. Kakaku> ok.
[00:46] * D. Kakaku works on the last bits of the interface.
[00:47] * Vermellia X. Rosso can't believe where this could possibly be heading
[00:49] <D. Kakaku> ok, almost there, and interface complete.
[00:50] <@Sakura X. Aino> Okay be right back
[00:51] * @Sakura X. Aino heads to her TARDIS and brings out two almost button-cell sized batteries she'd been having it make.
[00:51] <@Sakura X. Aino> Each of these houses a complete fusion reactor. So please don't swallow it.
[00:51] <D. Kakaku> woah, those are, heh, wow.
[00:51] <@Sakura X. Aino> I'll wire them in
[00:52] <D. Kakaku> ok.
[00:52] * @Sakura X. Aino uses her sonic to do so
[00:52] * D. Kakaku gives Sakura two housings, though there are a lot more on standby.
[00:52] <@Sakura X. Aino> Okay. You should be set
[00:52] <D. Kakaku> alright, to test them first.
[00:52] <@Sakura X. Aino> don't lose these. If someone else gets their hands on the tech it could get bad.
[00:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> Chibiusa you can be the guineau pig
[00:53] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> WHY ME
[00:53] <D. Kakaku> oh, I'll try to do my best to hide them.
[00:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> Just go
[00:54] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa stands there so Daniel-san can test on her
[00:54] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> MAke it quick
[00:54] * D. Kakaku hands Chibiusa one of them.
[00:54] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa holds it
[00:54] * D. Kakaku huh? hmm
[00:55] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa watches him hum. he seems to do that a lot
[00:55] * D. Kakaku touches a few things on his watch's new interface, disappearing which causes the currently held object to fall to the floor softly.
[00:56] * D. Kakaku soon appears right near Chibiusa.
[00:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> It works!
[00:57] <D. Kakaku> yup, now for one last test. who's gonna put the other one somewhere?
[00:58] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa puts it on a potted plant
[00:58] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I put it on a plant

[01:00] * it works flawlessly

[01:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well see if you can teleport it back to you
[01:02] * D. Kakaku uses the interface to teleport the plant to where the dropped crystal is.
[01:03] * Again, perfect teleport
[01:04] <D. Kakaku> alright, now to grow it back.
[01:05] <D. Kakaku> /mw aims again at the plant, growing it back to normal.
[01:05] * D. Kakaku *^
[01:05] * perfectly done
[01:06] * D. Kakaku takes out the crystal object.

[01:18] * the caf::e is closed for the night; the residential area would be on the second floor.
[01:19] * D. Kakaku looks to see if there's any lights or open windows, etc.
[01:20] * No lights. Windows are open on the second floor. Though with a super-shrink suit... do you really need that much of an opening
[01:22] * @Sakura X. Aino wonders what's taking him
[01:22] * D. Kakaku uses his watch and suit, andjumps towards an open window while getting down to 5 millimeters.
[01:23] * You make it to the window easily
[01:23] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Motoki & Mako's Apt. 1 mm, windowsill ]
[01:25] * You're on the sill. Your target will be on the inside
[01:25] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 1 mm, windowsill] looks into the room from the windowsill.
[01:25] * it's dark
[01:25] * Maybe looking in from the outside is less effective
[01:26] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 1 mm, windowsill] jumps into the inside from the sill.
[01:26] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Motoki & Mako's Apt. 1 mm ]

[01:38] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer hugs and comforts her

[01:45] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] looks around.
[01:46] *** It is a sea of ass.

[01:47] * Vermellia X. Rosso is playing cards with Chibiusa
[01:47] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa is totally f[BLEEP]king cheating
[01:47] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] walks around for a bit, looking to find a place to fit the tag.

[01:49] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 17 ]
[01:49] *** he's wearing a shirt. attach it there somehow?
[01:51] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] realises he'll either have to shrink Motoki or grow himself.
[01:52] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] looks back and decides the other option. going into the place opposite the shirt.
[01:53] *** ...so you're going for the asscrack? Is that what you're saying
[01:54] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] wants to be somewhat hidden, so that's there he's going.
[01:55] *** You're 50 micrometers tall you're pretty hidden?
[01:56] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa somehow loses to Vermellia-chan despite cheating her ass off
[01:56] * Vermellia X. Rosso is a next-level cheater

[01:56] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] takes the crystal out of the pocket, and slowly grows it after putting it down.

[01:57] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer feels a slight itching and scratches his ass
[01:57] *** DK roll 1d20
[01:57] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] figures the crystal could beused no matter the size.
[01:58] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 7 ]
[01:58] *** AAAND now you've been caught by his fingertip and launched off his asscrack
[01:58] *** it might have been wiser just to use the crystal without growing it
[01:59] * you land on the fground as Motoki heads to the bed
[01:59] <D. Kakaku> [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] /ime, had he used the crystal, then and there, there would have been a giant Motoki in thhe atrium.
[01:59] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] *^
[02:00] *** How... he's the same size
[02:00] *** it's the crystal that's smaller, not him?
[02:01] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] follows
[02:01] *** roll 1d20 to see if the crystal flew off with you
[02:01] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] remembers the potted plant remained the same tiny size,
[02:01] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 2 ]
[02:02] * the cryatal landed near you so it's not attached to his ass
[02:02] *** well yes but you had shrunk the plant.
[02:02] *** you have not shrunken motoki
[02:02] <D. Kakaku> [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] whew.
[02:02] *** so motoki would be moved at his normal size.

[02:04] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer climbs back into bed and closes his eyes
[02:05] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] looks and makes a new attempt at jumping onto him.

[02:05] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] looks a bit.
[02:06] *** you're on his back
[02:07] * D. Kakaku [Motoki & Mako's Apt. 50 um] lays the crystal down, holding onto it and him, he types the coordinates and teleports himself, crystal and motoki back to the atrium.
[02:07] * @Sakura X. Aino wonders what part of " Get in, find him, teleport back here. Don't dawdle or get distracted. " was unclear
[02:07] * @Sakura X. Aino SIGHS in relief as they show up
[02:07] *** Crwn_FruT_Gamer has moved back to the Atrium
[02:08] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer Hits the ground and walkes up, startled and confused
[02:08] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Wh--what
[02:08] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer blinks, trying to focus
[02:08] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Sakura-chan...?
[02:08] *** 1d20 roll to see if he's normal size, or if he really needs to.. never mind, maybe nnext time.
[02:08] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Pants. Pants.
[02:08] <Vermellia X. Rosso> YOU NEED PANTS
[02:09] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> :O
[02:09] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer tries to cover himself as Chibiusa laughs for some reason and Sakura tosses him some Pj pants.
[02:09] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer puts them on
[02:09] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Sakura-chan... Chibiusa-chan... Vermellia-san... Daniel...san? What's going on here?
[02:10] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> I was in the house and then all of a sudden I'm here
[02:10] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[02:10] *** Motoki would have been normal size. You didn't shrink or grow him.
[02:10] * D. Kakaku has already put the crystal back in his pocket.
[02:11] * @Sakura X. Aino points to the area of the wall where the bullet slug was taken from
[02:11] <@Sakura X. Aino> That's why.
[02:11] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> ...
[02:12] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer 's expression suddenly becomes very neutral.
[02:12] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer doesn't say anything.
[02:12] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...
[02:12] <D. Kakaku> ....
[02:13] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> DID YOU SHOOT ME?!
[02:13] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> ...
[02:13] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer just stares at all of you blankly.
[02:14] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Motoki?
[02:14] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> ...
[02:14] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What's going on here?
[02:14] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> ...
[02:15] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa looks at everyone else
[02:15] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I don't.. I don't understand...
[02:15] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> ...
[02:16] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Sakura-chan what do we do?
[02:17] * D. Kakaku looks at Motoki with a very incredulous face.
[02:17] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer looks back at him with a blank, expressionless gaze.
[02:18] * @Sakura X. Aino looks to see how Daniel is reacting
[02:18] * D. Kakaku 's look suddenly becomes serious.
[02:19] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer is stone-faced
[02:21] <D. Kakaku> so, what is it? Did you do it?
[02:21] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer just looks at him blankly, like he's not even here. He folds his hands.
[02:22] <D. Kakaku> folding hands? what is he doing?
[02:23] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer folds his hands, you know? like you were taught in school?
[02:23] * is just sitting there with his hands folded and resting in his lap.
[02:23] <Vermellia X. Rosso> This is going nowhere.
[02:24] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Maybe we need "Good Cop, Bad Cop".
[02:24] * D. Kakaku has looked up 'folding hands' no, he was not taught that in school.
[02:24] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer slowly, eeerily turns his head to look at them as they speak, then rturns his gaze to Daniel.
[02:26] <D. Kakaku> I think he wants us to be quiet about all of this.
[02:27] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer seems to smirk and falls asleep in the sitting position
[02:27] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa handcuffs him with some fuzzy handcuffs
[02:27] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...I don't wanna know
[02:27] * @Sakura X. Aino rubs her forehead
[02:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> It's late

[02:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> Hopefully
[02:31] <D. Kakaku> yup, any suggestions of where to put this micro capsule for the time being?
[02:31] * @Sakura X. Aino is away: sleep
[02:31] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Umm
[02:31] * Vermellia X. Rosso looks around the Atrium

[02:32] * Vermellia X. Rosso is away: I'm tired too
[02:32] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa is away: Just let us know where it is

[18:16] * D. Kakaku [Bedroom] hurries on downstairs.
[18:16] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[18:17] * Makoto looks quite the t holding up Matsumi and Chibiusa with both her arms and blocking Sakura's tackel with just her abs
[18:17] * ^quite the sight
[18:17] * D. Kakaku puts the capsule down and grows it so that Motoki is Normal size.
[18:17] * there is the sound of thunder rumbling high up in the sky of the atrium and it's getting darker... as if thunderclouds are gatherting
[18:18] * IrnChef_Jovian sees Motoki and IMMEDIATELY shakes the others off and rushes to him
[18:18] <IrnChef_Jovian> Motoki-san!!
[18:18] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> ...Help me Mako-chan! The've gone crazy!"
[18:19] <Matsumi Kaze> oh come on!!!!
[18:19] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer CLINGS to her and gives the others a quick, sinister look
[18:19] <D. Kakaku> What's with the sinister look?
[18:19] <Matsumi Kaze> are we going with this >_>
[18:19] * IrnChef_Jovian , of course, didn't see it
[18:19] <IrnChef_Jovian> The only ones sinister here are YOU GUYS
[18:20] <D. Kakaku> don't tell me you had her help you shoot Chibiusa, did you?
[18:20] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[18:20] * IrnChef_Jovian defensively stands in front of her husband
[18:20] <Matsumi Kaze> ARE YOU SERIOUSLY GOING TO DO THIS, MAKO-
[18:20] <Matsumi Kaze> ><
[18:20] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...My Motoki would NEVER shoot anyone!
[18:21] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Of course not! I got up last night to calm MAri down and then the next thing I knew I was here and they were saying all kinds of crazy stuff!
[18:21] <Matsumi Kaze> Mako..if something is going on...I think Sakura would know...
[18:21] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Hey! Kamecrappi's DNA was all over the area where the bullet I was shot with was dug out!
[18:22] <D. Kakaku> then why is there Turtle DNA on the blood spot near the bullet on the wall along with with fingerprints smudged by lotion?
[18:22] <IrnChef_Jovian> Sakura-chan's gone crazy with grief over Diana! She's looking for anyone to blame!
[18:22] <D. Kakaku> specifically, one that goes by the name 'Kamekichi'.
[18:22] <@Sakura X. Aino> WHAT?!
[18:23] <Matsumi Kaze> .....oh come on......
[18:23] <IrnChef_Jovian> Kamekichi!? Come on, yuo guys can do better than using some stupid turtle as an excuse to haul YOUR FRIEND in
[18:24] * @Sakura X. Aino pushes in a surveillance tape from the other night to show her how Motoki was acting
[18:24] * IrnChef_Jovian looks
[18:24] * An infomercial plays
[18:24] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...what the...
[18:24] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> The tapes got wiped? HOW
[18:24] <D. Kakaku> ok, how did the?
[18:25] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...Okay this s[BLEEP]tshow's gone on long enough
[18:25] <IrnChef_Jovian> I'm taking my husband and we're leaving. Now.
[18:25] <Matsumi Kaze> Mako please...
[18:25] <Det. Ema Skye>
[18:25] * Det. Ema Skye has her gun out
[18:25] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm just catching up on this, but we need to question him
[18:26] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...Get outta my way, lady.
[18:26] <D. Kakaku> do you have lotion at your house?
[18:26] <IrnChef_Jovian> That gun won't do s[BLEEP]t other than make me angry
[18:26] * IrnChef_Jovian looks over at Daniel-san
[18:26] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...What kind of a pervy question is that?!
[18:26] <D. Kakaku> one that smudges?
[18:27] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> There was lotion mixed in with the Kamekichi DNA.
[18:27] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...
[18:27] * IrnChef_Jovian , for some reason, pauses at that
[18:28] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Mako-chan they're just making things up!
[18:28] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Don't listen to them!
[18:28] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Mako-chan!
[18:28] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer is frantic
[18:28] * IrnChef_Jovian makes a slight face. This is... a but much.
[18:29] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...We probably do...
[18:29] <@Sakura X. Aino> Why don't we all go over there and check. We can compare it to--
[18:30] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> CAN'T YOU SEE THEY'RE ALL TRYING TO SET ME UP!?
[18:30] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer tries to dash out the front door "WHY WON'T ANYONE BELIEVE ME?!"
[18:31] <IrnChef_Jovian> Motoki! Wait!
[18:31] <Matsumi Kaze> hey!
[18:31] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer is running away! If you guys don't try to stop him...
[18:31] * Matsumi Kaze tries to tackle Motoki!
[18:32] * D. Kakaku tries to grab him.
[18:32] <Matsumi Kaze> stop
[18:32] <Matsumi Kaze> *STOP
[18:32] *** Matsumi, DK. roll 1d20
[18:32] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 3 ]
[18:32] <spiritflame> Matsumi Kaze rolls 1d20 [ 5 ]
[18:32] * Neither of you can get a good grip on him
[18:33] * Det. Ema Skye goes for a flying tackle!
[18:33] *** Ema 1d20
[18:33] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d20 [ 16 ]
[18:33] <D. Kakaku> Sheesh, he's slippery....

[18:34] *** Ema 1d20, need to roll over 13

[18:35] *** Daniel 1d20
[18:35] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d20 [ 14 ]
[18:35] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 12 ]

[18:35] *** Daniel you might have, so hold that in reserve
[18:36] *** Motoki, can you beat 14 on a D20 roll?
[18:36] * D. Kakaku holds it in reserve
[18:36] <spiritflame> Crwn_FruT_Gamer rolls 1d20 [ 16 ]
[18:36] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer somehow SUPERHUMANLY wrests out of Ema's Grip
[18:36] <Det. Ema Skye> What the--- what's that strength?!
[18:37] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...
[18:37] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer SCRAMBLES to his feet again
[18:37] *** Daniel maybe want to try it now?
[18:37] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[18:37] * D. Kakaku tries the item in reserve.
[18:37] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer LEAPS for the DOOR
[18:37] *** well what item is it?
[18:38] <D. Kakaku> Lotion!?
[18:38] *** ...huh?

[18:39] <Chibi-Alex> - He always does as he is told or else he gets the fire hose!!!! -
[18:39] <D. Kakaku> It feels like.... Lotion!
[18:39] * IrnChef_Jovian doesn't believe this... she can't believe what's happening and she loves Motoki but something feels wrong...
[18:40] * IrnChef_Jovian points at Motoki with one finger and sends a botl of lightning flying at him
[18:40] *** Mako, Motoki, 1d20
[18:40] <Chibi-Catri> - PUT THE LOTION IN THE BASKET, B[BLEEP]CH!!!!!!!! -
[18:40] <spiritflame> IrnChef_Jovian rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[18:40] <Chibi-Catri> >:D
[18:40] <spiritflame> Crwn_FruT_Gamer rolls 1d20 [ 13 ]
[18:41] * Matsumi Kaze just..sits there watching
[18:41] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer AVOIDS most of the bolt, but gets hit in the shoulder!
[18:41] *** Motoki 1d100 please
[18:41] <spiritflame> Crwn_FruT_Gamer rolls 1d100 [ 7 ]
[18:41] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer 's shoulder... flies off
[18:41] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> EWWW
[18:42] <IrnChef_Jovian> WHAT OH MY GOD MOTOKI!
[18:42] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer stops and turns and looks at them
[18:42] * his severed shoulder lies on the ground... and begins to dissolve in a puddle of grey goo
[18:42] <D. Kakaku> Gray Goo?
[18:43] <Det. Ema Skye> What the hell...
[18:43] <IrnChef_Jovian> You're not... you're... not...
[18:43] <Matsumi Kaze> ..what the...
[18:43] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer suddenly has a slick, sick, sinister smile as his whole body starts to lose shape, becoming grey and formless
[18:44] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> - Ever.....th...g... f..r ....t.h.....hini....g... q...eeen... -
[18:44] * Crwn_FruT_Gamer collapses into a puddle of goo
[18:44] *** Crwn_FruT_Gamer [monotavern.crown.co.jp] has quit IRC (A turtle's shell is hard, but its heart is soft)
[18:44] <IrnChef_Jovian> O_O MOTOKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[18:45] * Pinako [Beach] skips on downstairs, ready for the next tournament... and sees what just went on O__O
[18:45] * IrnChef_Jovian drops to her knees, in shock
[18:45] *** Pinako has moved back to the Atrium
[18:45] <D. Kakaku> did anyone just hear his last words? and someoen collect that goo
[18:45] <Matsumi Kaze> ....
[18:45] <Matsumi Kaze> M..Mako
[18:46] * Det. Ema Skye is, as a forensics oooifcer
[18:46] * IrnChef_Jovian is just too stunned to speak
[18:46] * IrnChef_Jovian has tears streaming from her eyes
[18:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> Aunt Mako that wasn't him.
[18:47] <D. Kakaku> (Everything... something something queen, wait a moment...)
[18:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> There was no way that was him. It had to be some kind of doppelganger.
[18:47] * Matsumi Kaze tries to hug Makoto from behind?
[18:47] * IrnChef_Jovian is hugged and can only whimper "but then... but then... wh--where.... where is he...?"
[18:47] <Chibi-Catri> Everything for the hini...g queen.
[18:48] <Matsumi Kaze> ........
[18:48] <@Sakura X. Aino> "The Shining Queen?"
[18:48] * Det. Ema Skye has out a mini forensics LabTop
[18:48] * Det. Ema Skye is checking out the composition of the goo
[18:49] <D. Kakaku> I think, uh-huh, wasn't it the last words from the Terrible Senshi from a while ago?
[18:49] <Det. Ema Skye> These are a lot of crazy advanced polymers...
[18:49] <Det. Ema Skye> The chemical composition is nuts but the list seems familiar somehow...
[18:49] * Det. Ema Skye thinks as the others talk
[18:50] <Chibi-Alex> That almost looks like nanopaste
[18:50] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[18:50] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah that's where I heard it Daniel
[18:50] <Chibi-Alex> Like what Cadia and Alldrogis are composed of
[18:50] <Det. Ema Skye> ...In December...
[18:50] <Det. Ema Skye> There was an open case in December...
[18:51] <Det. Ema Skye> A Mizunomics Factory in the Keiyo Industrial Zone was destroyed.
[18:51] <Det. Ema Skye> At first it was thought to be an accident but after an inventory it became clear it was to cover the theft of advanced polymers...
[18:52] <Det. Ema Skye> ...the same ones I'm seeing on this Mass Spectrometer breakdown
[18:52] <@Sakura X. Aino> Let me take a look...
[18:52] * @Sakura X. Aino reads over the breakdown...
[18:52] <@Sakura X. Aino> This...
[18:52] <@Sakura X. Aino> I haven't seen this tech in the wild since 2006...
[18:52] <Det. Ema Skye> What is it?
[18:52] <D. Kakaku> huh?
[18:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> And even then it was old...
[18:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> This is Synthoid Technology
[18:53] <D. Kakaku> Synthoid?
[18:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> First invented by the terrorist organization COBRA.
[18:53] <Pinako> what's going on here? :O
[18:53] <Det. Ema Skye> ...I always thought that was a rumor?
[18:54] <@Sakura X. Aino> Synthoids are synthetic copies of humans.
[18:54] <IrnChef_Jovian> Someone... someone copied Motoki? But why?!
[18:54] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[18:54] <D. Kakaku> I heard it got used to take four robots for a joyride.
[18:54] <IrnChef_Jovian> And... and how long has he been a copy?
[18:54] <Chibi-Catri> Why copy him?
[18:55] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah that's where I ran into it, Daniel.
[18:55] <@Sakura X. Aino> Autobots had had their consciousnesses dumped into Synthoid bodies.
[18:55] * @Sakura X. Aino looks over at Catri
[18:55] <@Sakura X. Aino> Why indeed...
[18:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...Outside of him being a turtle-f[BLEEP]ker no one pays attention to him?
[18:56] <IrnChef_Jovian> HEY HE STOPPED THAT A LONG TIME AGO
[18:56] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[18:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Is that why you reacted that way to the lotion, Mako-chan?
[18:57] *** Meanwhile, in another continuity, Sakura said 2011.
[18:58] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...I thought it was just a relapse...
[18:58] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...but what if it was a sign...
[18:58] <IrnChef_Jovian> ...so he could have been not him since December?
[18:58] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> But I've seen him around here since December?
[18:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Doing what Chibiusa?
[18:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> This is important, think!
[19:01] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> He was... he asked to get into the Library...
[19:01] *** Chibi-Catri [MakerOfMischief@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has left #suburbansenshi2 (*snickers* >:3)
[19:01] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> said he was looking for recipies for Mako-chan
[19:01] *** Chibi-Alex [BoundlessExuberanceOfYouth@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has left #suburbansenshi2 ("Can we go to the park next? Can we, can we can we~!")
[19:01] <IrnChef_Jovian> What he never gave me any recipies or cooked for me...
[19:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> The Library...
[19:02] * @Sakura X. Aino goes over to a computer console and starts looking up all the access records for Motoki
[19:02] * Matsumi Kaze sneaks off while the others are talking
[19:02] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi2
[19:03] <The Magistra> I'm pretty sure Caster, I mean Mursaki, has claimed the Library as her Mage's Workshop
[19:03] *** Results - Silver Millennium history and Lore. The Hazel Ninegate Incidents. Dust. The 'Extinction Event'.
[19:04] <The Magistra> She might have seen him.
[19:05] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Hey remmber when Roman tochwick came here b[BLEEP]ching that Haruka-san stole Dust from BlacHaus?
[19:05] <D. Kakaku> Extinction Event?
[19:05] <Det. Ema Skye> Well we know why the Dist was stolen. To make those "Terrible-Senshi"
[19:05] <@Sakura X. Aino> The "Extinction Event" was Princess Astrum's invasion of our Dimension.
[19:06] <D. Kakaku> ah.
[19:06] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> But what if it wasn't Haruka? Remember she cried up and down she was innocent? What if they'd made a copy of her too?
[19:06] <Det. Ema Skye> ...They could have copied anyone.
[19:07] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> BOSS ARE YOU A COPY
[19:07] <Det. Ema Skye> WHAT ABOUT YOU WITH YOUR SUDDENLY INTELLIGIBLE SPEECH
[19:07] <@Sakura X. Aino> Guys. GUYS.
[19:08] <@Sakura X. Aino> We have to be cautious but this is like classic "Divide and Conquer" stuff here.
[19:08] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> THAT'
[19:08] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A CLONE_WOULD_ SAY
[19:08] <@Sakura X. Aino> Synthoids are not clones.
[19:08] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> SO YOU ARE ONE
[19:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> OH MY GOD
[19:09] * Det. Ema Skye Whistles
[19:09] * D. Kakaku facepalms
[19:09] * The Magistra claps "Well done, nice bit"
[19:10] <Det. Ema Skye> Magistra, Motoki's alread a pile of goo I don't think we need to look for him. We know what he looked up at least
[19:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> But the stuff he looked up...
[19:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> that's troubling
[19:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> Diana's crescent was stolen from her
[19:11] <@Sakura X. Aino> and now that we know the enemy was looking up Silver Millennium lore it starts to make more sense...
[19:11] <@Sakura X. Aino> They would know exactly what it could do.
[19:11] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Interacting with the Ginzuishou you said?
[19:12] <@Sakura X. Aino> That's the theory. But they'd still need a Lunar Royal or a Venusian to use it
[19:12] <Det. Ema Skye> But they got Chibiusa's blood...
[19:12] <Det. Ema Skye> And we know they are cooking up Gene-spliced Senshi...
[19:13] <IrnChef_Jovian> /mw just feels like she's underwater
[19:13] <IrnChef_Jovian> I have... I have a baby...
[19:13] <IrnChef_Jovian> and my husband is gone...
[19:13] <@Sakura X. Aino> We'll find him Aunt Mako
[19:13] <Masaki O`Cain> hey you jokers?
[19:13] *** Masaki O`Cain has joined #suburbansenshi2
[19:13] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Masaki O`Cain
[19:14] <IrnChef_Jovian> You don't even know if he's STILL ALIVE T_T
[19:14] * IrnChef_Jovian looks at Masaki
[19:14] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> But where does Astrum and Hazel Ninegate fit in?
[19:14] <Masaki O`Cain> I hope you know Kaze's currently making a beeline into Tokyo
[19:14] <Masaki O`Cain> ....i think she'll probably get someone killed
[19:15] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Astrum's connected to Silver Millennium stuff but Hazel?
[19:15] * Masaki O`Cain is holding her phone
[19:15] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Oh god dammit.
[19:15] <D. Kakaku> not again.
[19:15] <@Sakura X. Aino> I'll go deal with this
[19:16] * @Sakura X. Aino is away: Catching her before she does something she can't take back
[19:17] <Det. Ema Skye> Ugh...
[19:17] <Det. Ema Skye> Hazel Ninegate. There's a name I never wanted to hear again either. Just like Simon Kerrick.
[19:17] <Masaki O`Cain> this is such a pain in the ass
[19:18] <Det. Ema Skye> What connection could she possibly have to all this?
[19:18] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa is pacing a cute circle in the corner as she thinks
[19:19] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Like... everything Motoki was doing in the library, like... it seemed like... like... like research.
[19:19] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Like... he was learning.
[19:19] <D. Kakaku> I'm not sure either.
[19:19] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Learning about the Silver Millennium, learning about Dust...
[19:20] <Det. Ema Skye> So are you thinking it's not that she's involved but she might be someome they want to know more about?
[19:20] <Det. Ema Skye> But what does she bring to the table? There are a lot of Time Lords around.
[19:21] <Det. Ema Skye> ..Or there were before whatever happened in space.
[19:23] <Det. Ema Skye> And then that 'Extinction Event'. Astrum...
[19:23] * Det. Ema Skye sits on a couch, thinking
[19:24] <Det. Ema Skye> When I was in school, I used to think of researching for papers like writing a shopping list of info I needed to collect to prove or disprove my thesis.
[19:25] <Det. Ema Skye> What kind of "thesis" was Motoki and his handlers trying to prove...
[19:25] <Det. Ema Skye> The threads...
[19:25] <Det. Ema Skye> The Silver Millennium... the nature of Dust - Sailor Crystals...
[19:26] <Det. Ema Skye> How does Astrum and Hazel slot in and advance the story...
[19:26] <Det. Ema Skye> I mean
[19:26] <Det. Ema Skye> Silver Millennium tells us the "what" of what we can do...
[19:27] <Det. Ema Skye> Dust gives us the "How" of "How to make a Sailor Senshi..."
[19:27] <Det. Ema Skye> But the "Why" - the Motive is missing.
[19:27] <Det. Ema Skye> If we knew that we might be able to work backwards.
[19:28] <Det. Ema Skye> me goes silent, thinking
[19:28] * Det. Ema Skye ^
[19:29] <D. Kakaku> Shining Queen, who is that, anyway?
[19:29] <Det. Ema Skye> That's a good question.
[19:29] <The Magistra> ....I think of it like a story. What plot point can connect these two unrelated events.
[19:29] <Det. Ema Skye> Who's the 'Queen'?
[19:30] <Det. Ema Skye> Right, Magistra
[19:30] <Det. Ema Skye> But without the motive it's super hard to weave the plot.
[19:30] <The Magistra> Well if I had to guess, Queen Serenity?
[19:30] <Det. Ema Skye> Who's kinda dead?
[19:30] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> DUDE
[19:31] <Det. Ema Skye> Huh?
[19:31] <Pinako> Queen who?
[19:31] <The Magistra> Was it this universe or the other that had an AI of her preserved in the moon's computer.
[19:31] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Tomoe-hakase said the "Terrible-Senshi" wasn't the final form right
[19:31] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> what if they're trying to REVIVE HER
[19:32] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Maggie I'm not sure where that Queen-Lunar computer thing is
[19:32] <Det. Ema Skye> Wait up
[19:33] <Det. Ema Skye> People like The Great Healer have started to get their past lfe memories back.
[19:33] <Det. Ema Skye> He mentioned being inspired by a memory of the Queen saving everyone
[19:33] <Det. Ema Skye> what if he wasn't alone in that?
[19:34] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> The Golden Crescent people??
[19:34] <D. Kakaku> a bunch of people, I can see that.
[19:34] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> You think they're trying to resurrect the queen?
[19:34] <Det. Ema Skye> Or maybe... recreate one.
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> Maybe the "Terrible-senshi" project is to make a new body for her...
[19:35] <D. Kakaku> Recreate a Queen Serenity?
[19:35] * Det. Ema Skye holds the sides of her head in frustration
[19:35] <Pinako> a Queen Who?
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> Arrgh this is all guesswork.
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> We need evidence.
[19:36] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> My grand-mama
[19:37] * Pinako scratches her ears, she seems to have heard "My gr$!*)@*%a"
[19:39] <The Magistra> The only other Queens Offically recorded in history and tied in some way to the Silver Millenium are Beryl, Nehelenia and Metalia. None of them I would discribe as shining. Quite the opposite in fact.
[19:40] <The Magistra> And the queens of the other planets have all already been revived as far as I know
[19:42] <Det. Ema Skye> Well, with the proviso that this is all a theory, if that is the endgame, how can we fit in Hazel and Astrum
[19:43] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Well Sakura-chan and I were guessing they took Diana's crescent to get their hands on a Giinzuishou
[19:43] <D. Kakaku> does anyone know anything about either one?
[19:43] <The Magistra> ...How couldn't we fit in Hazinine. For all we know this was some scheme she cooked up and left behind, only to pop up years later.
[19:43] <Det. Ema Skye> Can't have a Moon Queen without a Moon Rock
[19:44] <Hazel Ninegate> I resent that implication.
[19:44] * Hazel Ninegate saunters in flanked by some bodyguard Cybermen
[19:44] <Det. Ema Skye> !
[19:44] <Hazel Ninegate> Oh don't be so surprised.
[19:45] * The Magistra visably recoil upon hearing Hazel.
[19:45] <Hazel Ninegate> Is it so beyond the realm of comprehension that I'd be keeping an eye on people mentioning me?
[19:47] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Shouldn't you be in Space doing Time Lord things
[19:47] <Hazel Ninegate> I have no interest in their political foolishness.
[19:48] <Hazel Ninegate> I've been listening to all your speculation for the last few minutes.
[19:49] * Det. Ema Skye looks at Hazel Ninegate.
[19:49] *** Hazel Ninegate is



More information about her is Here.
Her image Song is: 'Awaken (Pillar Men Theme)' from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
[19:49] <Hazel Ninegate> I have nothing to do with these Moon cultists.
[19:50] <Hazel Ninegate> Nor can I infer what they might want with me.
[19:51] <Hazel Ninegate> Perhaps they wish me to lead them. I have no desire to do so.
[19:51] * Hazel Ninegate is, as ever, not short on ego.
[19:54] <Hazel Ninegate> Still. it seems these people now have information on my whereabouts thanks to your shoddy security.
[19:55] <Hazel Ninegate> I'll keep an eye out for them.
[19:55] <Hazel Ninegate> ...I can't guarantee my pets might not eat one or two of them.
[19:55] <The Magistra> There's a reason I keep Chaldeas' files seperate from this place....
[19:55] * Hazel Ninegate looks at her Cybermen and smiles darkly
[19:56] <D. Kakaku> hmm?
[19:56] <Det. Ema Skye> ...If you do run into them, let us know.
[19:56] * Hazel Ninegate looks at Det. Ema Skye.
[19:56] *** Det. Ema Skye is



More information about her is Here.
Her image Song is: She Blinded Me with Science by Thomas Dolby.
[19:56] <Hazel Ninegate> ...You're one of von Karma's pets.
[19:57] <Hazel Ninegate> I remmeber you from the background of that trial. You were one of the 'bit players'.
[19:57] <Det. Ema Skye> ...BIT PLAYERS?
[19:57] <Hazel Ninegate> Got a promotion? Good for you. Good for you.
[19:58] * Hazel Ninegate snaps her fingers
[19:58] * the Cybermen stand to attention
[19:58] <Hazel Ninegate> Let's be off.
[19:58] * Hazel Ninegate is away 
[19:58] * The Cybermen follow
[19:58] <Det. Ema Skye> ....you lost that case, lady.
[19:59] <Det. Ema Skye> (and got the Death penalty... can people just not stay dead around here?)
[20:00] <Det. Ema Skye> Ugh.
[20:01] * The Magistra breaths a sigh of relief. "I totally had a Shadow Servant summoning prepped just incase that went badly...."
[20:03] <Det. Ema Skye> Ugh. I don't need all this stress I tell ya.
[20:03] * Det. Ema Skye noms Snackoos vigorously
[20:06] * Det. Ema Skye offers one to Maggie
[20:06] * The Magistra takes it and snacks.
[20:06] <Det. Ema Skye> It didn't seem like she was lying. I've been taken in a few times I'll admit but it does seem like this was news to her.
[20:08] <Det. Ema Skye> And if they haven't approached her, even after their plan seems to be in full swing... then maybe she has something they want and doesn't realize it.
[20:08] <Det. Ema Skye> Not that her security would make it easy for them to get it.
[20:09] * The Magistra thinks. "Unless it's something like Nth Metal they were after. They wouldn't need HER, just info."
[20:12] <Vermellia X. Rosso> We have that here though
[20:12] <Vermellia X. Rosso> At Big Grocery
[20:12] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Motoki could have got it
[20:12] <The Magistra> ...Why the f[BLEEP]k do we keep that around?
[20:12] <Vermellia X. Rosso> But I checked our stocks manually we're all good
[20:12] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...Simon?
[20:12] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Who's back by the way
[20:13] <D. Kakaku> vrey easily, too
[20:13] * Vermellia X. Rosso gives Ema a dim look
[20:13] * Det. Ema Skye withers a little
[20:13] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Besides, it's antimagic it's hella useful
[20:14] <The Magistra> ...Are the books Fake!Motoki checked out still in the library?
[20:15] * Det. Ema Skye checks the computer. "Looks that way. Looks like he just read them and took notes"
[20:17] * The Magistra goes to get them, carring them back without touching them directly before handing them over to Ema. "We just need to know what pages he reading. Figuring that should be in your wheelhouse."
[20:18] <Det. Ema Skye> Good plan!
[20:18] <Det. Ema Skye> Chibs, get over here and help out
[20:18] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Yes boss!
[20:18] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa gets out the forensics kit
[20:19] *** Insert CSI style scene here with cool Techno music and close up zooms and awesomely exaggerated SCIENCE
[20:19] <Det. Ema Skye> Whew.. okay... so...
[20:20] <D. Kakaku> so....?
[20:20] <Det. Ema Skye> it looks like for the earlier works on the list regarding the Silver Millennium he was wearing gloves or something and covered his tracks pretty well
[20:20] <Det. Ema Skye> but then he started to get sloppy
[20:21] * Masaki O`Cain juste listens to what's going on with this
[20:21] <Det. Ema Skye> For Hazel... it looks like he was searching about her activities in relation to "The Philosopher's Stone" and what eventually happened to it. And for "The Extinction Event" he was checking out Astrum and what she was trying to do to Chibiusa.
[20:22] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...She was tryign to suck out my Silver Crystal to put more Silver Crystal into her Silver Crystal.
[20:22] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> So she could Silver Crystal while she Silver Crystaled
[20:22] <Det. Ema Skye> ...thank you Xibit A
[20:23] <The Magistra> ...A philosopher's stone. Wouldn't that let you transmute a human body from the ground up without the cost?
[20:23] * The Magistra is also mentally freaking out at the idea of a mixed Silver Crystal/Philosopher's stone. Yikes.
[20:23] <Det. Ema Skye> From what I remember, yeah.
[20:24] <Det. Ema Skye> But I mean there's a lot of ways to get a body. Going for a Philospher's Stone seems... overkill?
[20:27] <D. Kakaku> maybe that's the point?
[20:27] <Det. Ema Skye> Go on?
[20:28] <D. Kakaku> I don't know, but I'm thinking maybe they don't want a normal synthoid body for their recreation.
[20:28] <Det. Ema Skye> What I mean though is you can get a clone, or a genetic hybrid...
[20:28] <Det. Ema Skye> Science is pretty crazy these days
[20:29] <Det. Ema Skye> Why would you want a really-hard-to-make artifact that's also super-hard to get.
[20:29] <D. Kakaku> yeah, but maybe they want to make her new body the same way the Dark Kingdom supposedly made their Youma?
[20:29] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> whatever happened to Hazel's Phiosopher's stone though? Wasn't it destroyed?
[20:30] <Pinako> HEY!
[20:30] <Det. Ema Skye> Hoe did the Dark Kingdom do it?
[20:30] <Pinako> I'll have you know we weren't made from magic dirt! we were born the same way you were! :O
[20:31] <Vermellia X. Rosso> According to Shadow Proclamation records...
[20:31] * Vermellia X. Rosso is looking up on her computer thingy thing thing
[20:31] <Vermellia X. Rosso> "On February 9th, 2021, [The Intern](https://whatis.suburbansenshi.com/index.php/The_Intern "The Intern") forced Hazel Ninegate to use the bulk of the Philosopher's stone power to grant [Thrash](https://whatis.suburbansenshi.com/index.php/Thrash "Thrash") a new lease on life, giving him uncounted new regenerations. Hazel took the greatly diminished stone back, hoping to use it for her own plans to achieve immortality. After that incident, roughly only 25% of it"
[20:31] <Vermellia X. Rosso> THANKS FOR THE SPAM MR BOX
[20:32] <Vermellia X. Rosso> There's about a quarter of it left.
[20:32] <Vermellia X. Rosso> We don't think HAzel ever got anywhere with her immortality plan.
[20:32] <Vermellia X. Rosso> So 25% of it is still out there
[20:33] * Vermellia X. Rosso does some more reading
[20:34] <Vermellia X. Rosso> 25% of 3.6 bilion...
[20:35] <Vermellia X. Rosso> A stone with the power of 900 000 000 lives...
[20:35] <Vermellia X. Rosso> (roughly)
[20:36] <D. Kakaku> I really hope that's our usual billion and not the "Billion after one thousand million" numbers.
[20:36] <The Magistra> Oh right. That did happen to dad didn't it?...
[20:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...isn't it enough
[20:37] <Det. Ema Skye> What could they want with the power of a billion lives...
[20:38] <D. Kakaku> Sounds like an eternal ruler, even with the power of a billion
[20:39] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> But I mean even without all that Mom is basically super super long lived thanks to the Crystal..
[20:47] *** DETECTIVE Chibiusa has turned their sound on
[20:51] <Masaki O`Cain> huh.
[20:52] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I mean I'm 924 years old
[20:53] <The Magistra> Don't think of them as lives, as cruel as that sounds. Think of them as a power source.
[20:53] <D. Kakaku> [Bedroom] so, create a new crystal from the stone?
[20:53] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[20:54] <Det. Ema Skye> But then why go to the trouble of stealing Diana's crescent and Chibiusa's blood?
[20:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> The philosopher's stone as a power source...
[20:55] <The Magistra> 7 souls (Albeit of EX Grade) in a magical cup can grant any wish. Imagine what you could do with with billons.
[20:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I can already grant wishes with My Silver Crystal :P
[20:56] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah and if you push yourself too hard you die :P
[20:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> DETAILS
[20:57] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> That's why I get the others to be my batteries :P
[20:57] <The Magistra> But if you had a power source consisting of billons of souls
[20:57] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Is that why you have a squad of inner senshi?
[20:57] <D. Kakaku> that's probably it
[20:57] * Det. Ema Skye just looks at Magistra like she was hit by lightning
[20:57] <Det. Ema Skye> That... motive would make it all fit
[20:57] <D. Kakaku> the other crystals would be potential batteries to them.
[20:57] <Det. Ema Skye> No Daniel
[20:58] <Det. Ema Skye> Turn your thinking around
[20:58] <The Magistra> The philsophers stone IS The Battery for the Silver Crystal
[20:58] <Det. Ema Skye> the #ff3838>stone would be the ff3838>bettery for the crystal.
[20:58] <D. Kakaku> hmm, the stone would be the crystal's battery?
[20:58] * Det. Ema Skye doesn;t know why the formatting broke but yes
[20:58] <Det. Ema Skye> Think about it!
[20:59] <Det. Ema Skye> Chibiusa, with her powers boosted by ONE BILLION
[20:59] <Det. Ema Skye> ...ugh I don't want to think about that
[20:59] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> F[BLEEP]k off, boss :P
[20:59] <D. Kakaku> ... an army of Moon Royalty at someone's command.
[20:59] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> But yeah if I had sometning like that my life would never be in danger
[21:00] <The Magistra> Who needs an army when you can just preform miracles left and right
[21:00] <Det. Ema Skye> ...truly Their "Shining Queen"
[21:00] <D. Kakaku> that's probably WHY they need an army
[21:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Okay so hold up
[21:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> let's think...
[21:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Our theory is... they want the philsopher's stone to supercharge a Ginzuishou to supercharge the will of their Queen
[21:02] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Like... what kind of a Queen needs THAT much power? Even Serenity alone would be devastating
[21:02] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Maybe they have one hell of a wish
[21:03] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[21:03] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...
[21:03] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> WHAT
[21:03] <D. Kakaku> .....
[21:04] <The Magistra> What kind of wish would require that kind of power?
[21:05] <D. Kakaku> something that overwrites reality?
[21:05] <Det. Ema Skye> ....
[21:05] * "They know it all."
[21:06] * "We must move up the timetable".
[21:07] <Pinako> [Beach resort] Overwrite reality? :O
[21:07] *** Pinako has moved back to the Atrium
[21:07] <Det. Ema Skye> ... That's horrible to think of
[21:10] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> What kind of world... do they want?
[21:14] * the lights go out!
[21:14] * when they come back the books that were being forensically examined are gone!
[21:16] <D. Kakaku> hey... where did the books go?
[21:18] <Det. Ema Skye> They're gone! How?
[21:18] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Are we being watched?
[21:18] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Did we get too close to the truth!?
[21:19] <D. Kakaku> I think we just did
[21:20] * Det. Ema Skye has her hand near her gun
[21:20] <Det. Ema Skye> Guys...
[21:21] <Det. Ema Skye> if we're being watched that means we're not alone.
[21:21] <D. Kakaku> hmm?
[21:21] <Det. Ema Skye> ...thinking back on it
[21:21] <Det. Ema Skye> When we called for that Uber the other day
[21:22] <Det. Ema Skye> The shooter knew exactly when to go for Chibs.
[21:22] <Det. Ema Skye> And she only told "us" that it would be coming to the door in two minutes.
[21:22] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> O_O
[21:22] <D. Kakaku> that must have given whoever watched us a window.
[21:23] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah.
[21:24] <Det. Ema Skye> (How deep does thie rabbit hole go?)
[21:25] <?> excuse me.......
[21:25] * Det. Ema Skye turns to look at this new voice
[21:25] * D. Kakaku turns to look at the new voice as well
[21:25] * ? stands there......
[21:26] <?> ...if you don't mind
[21:26] <?> I'd like to know who took books from my library
[21:26] * Vermellia X. Rosso looks too
[21:26] <Det. Ema Skye> ...We don't know? They were here one moment and gone the next.
[21:27] * ? is PAINFUL to look at for anyone who has a sense of higher dimensions
[21:27] <D. Kakaku> better get to the tapes now before they decide to wipe those, too
[21:27] * Det. Ema Skye doesn't so is fine
[21:27] * Vermellia X. Rosso HURTS but doesn't know why
[21:27] <?> it's getting pretty annoying..visitors coming in..taking books and then just running off like that
[21:27] * D. Kakaku is just fine.
[21:28] <Det. Ema Skye> Tapes... remember Sakura's tapes were messed with too?
[21:28] * IrnChef_Jovian is still here you know, just totally spaced out
[21:28] * ? glances back at a small floating..thing next to them
[21:28] <D. Kakaku> yeah
[21:28] <?> ..ok so maybe i'm making a big deal about this but you know the books
[21:29] <?> ..we can't just have people slipping in and running off with them!
[21:29] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Now now.
[21:30] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Back to your corner of the omniverse.
[21:30] * Lydia D. Darkletter tuts
[21:30] <Lydia D. Darkletter> This story is not for you.
[21:30] <Lydia D. Darkletter> The books shall be found in due time.
[21:30] * ? narrows their eyes at Lydia
[21:30] * D. Kakaku looks at Lydia D. Darkletter.
[21:30] *** Lydia D. Darkletter is

Her image Song is: "Utopia Finale" by Cristobal Tapia de Veer.
[21:31] <?> ...very well, storyling
[21:31] * ? turns and is just..gone
[21:31] *** ? has left #suburbansenshi2
[21:31] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Heh.
[21:32] * Lydia D. Darkletter taps Makoto on the back of the head with the tip of her Umbrella
[21:32] <Lydia D. Darkletter> You have a child. Get home to her.
[21:32] * IrnChef_Jovian jerks in shock as if snapped out of a trance and heads home
[21:32] <Det. Ema Skye> You... you're one of the people working with BlacHaus.
[21:33] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Only because I wanted to experience the "story" of this reality from the inside and be surprised by it.
[21:34] <D. Kakaku> Story?
[21:35] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I was certainly surprised when Roman's dust was stolen.
[21:35] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Yes.
[21:35] <Lydia D. Darkletter> To a being such as myself, where I come from, all this... is stories.
[21:35] <Lydia D. Darkletter> But it gets boring, knowing the breadth and shape of all destinies everywhere and everywhence.
[21:36] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I sought a challege and so allowed Roman Torchwick and his "Crew" to bind me for a time.
[21:36] <Lydia D. Darkletter> He sought to have a counter to the powers of hino rei.bot
[21:36] <Lydia D. Darkletter> But I'm only tangentually interested in his little schemes.
[21:37] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Do you know about "other" schemes?
[21:37] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Come now detective, indirection is not your speciality.
[21:37] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Just ask what you want to ask.
[21:38] <Det. Ema Skye> Do you know what the hell is going on?
[21:38] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I probably do on some level now locked away from me, as we all do, metaphysically.
[21:39] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Right now I'm as much "along for the ride" as all of you.
[21:39] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Though... I can give you some useful information.
[21:39] <Det. Ema Skye> Go on.
[21:39] <Lydia D. Darkletter> One - as Blachaus is the equal and opposite number of the HOTEL obviously we are watching you at all times.
[21:41] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I can tell you that, fi you carefully parse the logs that Chateaux keeps in the archives (probably one or two back) there is one line that will give you the clue to reveal who has been watching you as part of this scheme.
[21:42] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Two, I can tell you she also captured an incident that occured elsewhere of extreme relevance which will confirm your speculations of this night.
[21:42] *** Lydia D. Darkletter [darktale@blachaus.org] has left #suburbansenshi2 (never here)
[21:42] * D. Kakaku goes to start looking.
[21:43] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[21:43] <Det. Ema Skye> The people around here I swear...
[21:44] <D. Kakaku> hmm, maeko, mayu, daisy, bederazi porta, forest kits, me, aya, ema.
[21:45] <D. Kakaku> wait... elsewhere of extreme importance.
[21:46] * Det. Ema Skye gets a drink from the batr after securing her firearm
[21:46] * D. Kakaku scrolls a bit.
[21:47] <D. Kakaku> wait, she's looking for.... Eliza?
[21:49] *** Lydia is also referring to the logs in the site archive as the log may have reset once or twice since the Clue™
[21:50] * D. Kakaku is already looking over those
[21:51] <D. Kakaku> I think we might have our perpetrator.
[21:52] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Oh yeah?
[21:52] <Det. Ema Skye> Whatchya got?
[21:53] <D. Kakaku> Bederatzi Porta, she got employed by someone to find Eliza.
[21:53] <D. Kakaku> ... who is in Gensokyo for some reason. looking for a now-awake Yukari.
[21:53] <Det. Ema Skye> I don't know that much about her
[21:53] * Det. Ema Skye looks at Bederatzi Porta.
[21:53] *** Bederatzi Porta is

[21:55] * Det. Ema Skye looks up her records
[21:56] <Det. Ema Skye> I guess she does have some connection to Hazel and maybe the Philosopher's stone?
[21:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> You think we should question her, Daniel?
[21:56] <D. Kakaku> and the Holy Grail, too
[21:57] <D. Kakaku> we probably should question her.
[21:57] <Det. Ema Skye> Then let's rest up - tommorow we hit Gensokyo.
[21:57] * Det. Ema Skye is away: gotta recharge from all this
[21:58] * D. Kakaku nods
[21:58] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa is away: Boss do you even know how to get there??
[21:58] * D. Kakaku is away: back up to Georgia

[19:35] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] I'll just go and ask if they've seen anyone strange.
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] We'll stick together.
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Wouldn't be good if stuff went wrong.
[19:35] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] heads on over to a random building.
[19:35] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Yeah.

[19:40] * Det. Ema Skye [Gensokyo] is launched apparently?
[19:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] WHEEE!
[19:40] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! What's Going on?
[19:40] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] YARRGH WHAT THE---
[19:40] *** Thousands of soft bullets come flying by!
[19:41] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Gensokyo] is used to hurling herself around at very high speed so sort of tucks in
[19:41] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] What the HELL?!
[19:41] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] Is this what they talk about by "Bullet Hell"?
[19:41] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Gensokyo] unfurls Crescent Claw and spins it, deflecting away as many as she can!
[19:42] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] well, now that we're flying somewhere, I do want to say.
[19:43] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] I'd like to know just WHO Bederatzi's employer is.
[19:43] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] REALLY? YOU WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AS YOU'RE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR!?
[19:43] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] gets knocked over by a soft bullet and falls.... only to reappear second later.
[19:43] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] AHAHAHAHA reminds me of the time I got smacked by this one bear-guy in the far future and went flying for THREE whole days
[19:44] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] Better now than when we're close to her, and since it's bugged, at the HOTEL
[19:45] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Well, this is your investigation, so I'll follow your lead.
[19:49] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] I was hoping to put the apartment model somewhere on her, but I can try to do it later if she's still here. questions first, it seems.
[19:49] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] sees another barrage come towards him, and he's ready this time, shooting an arrow through 12 of the soft bullets.
[19:49] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Uhhh... okay?
[19:50] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] What's that house in the distance?
[19:51] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Gensokyo] looks
[19:51] * Det. Ema Skye [Gensokyo] had to put on her luminol goggles to deal with the air hitting her face so can't see that mich in the distance
[19:52] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] I think we're about to land.
[19:52] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] I got you guys~
[19:52] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Gensokyo] packs up Crescent claw and DIVES, unfurling her cloak to a massive size to catch you all
[19:53] *** landing site, a few yards away from the clearing containing Yukari's place.
[19:53] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] aims for the cloak.
[19:54] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Gensokyo] lands first and catches you all with a giant SWOOSH
[19:54] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Oof! Thanks Vermellia.
[19:54] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] No problem~
[19:54] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] yeah, thank you.
[19:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Yup yup!
[19:55] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Gensokyo] gathers up her cloak which goes back to a standard size.
[19:55] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] senses the arrival of the newcomers and opens one eye to look at them.
[19:56] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] doesn't move from her Karnian Lotus position.
[19:57] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] recognizes Vermellia Rosso, and barely the other two with her.
[19:57] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Rosso.
[19:57] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Hey.
[19:57] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] narrows her eyes
[19:58] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Your usually hyperactive mind is fairly focused. I take it this isn't a social call?
[19:58] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Ah.
[19:58] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] can sense Daniel is at the center of this.
[19:58] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] we want to know a few things.
[19:58] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] stands up and dusts herself off
[19:59] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] tilts her head.
[19:59] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] "We"? Or "You"?
[20:00] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] crosses her arms in front of her chest
[20:00] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] it depends.
[20:00] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] I seem to be possessed of nothing but time right now, so I am at your disposal.
[20:00] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Ask your questions.
[20:01] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] ok, why did you come here?
[20:01] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] ...None of your business?
[20:02] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] actually... it just might be.
[20:02] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] ...I fail to see how.
[20:02] * Det. Ema Skye [Gensokyo] watches this interaction closely
[20:04] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] did you capture any incidents recently?
[20:04] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] ...I'm not a camera.
[20:06] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Perhaps you should rephrase the question so it makes sense.
[20:06] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] busies herself looking at her elegantly polished black nails
[20:07] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] ok, well, before coming here, have you seen anything recently that was out of the ordinary?
[20:07] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] ...
[20:08] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Clearly you don't know me or my life. Every day is 'out of the ordinary' as compared to the human average.
[20:10] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] well, I mean by even your standards.
[20:10] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] ...You're on a fishing expedition with an extremly flimsy pole, young man.
[20:11] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] I have encountered nothing in the past few days that would be of interest to you.
[20:11] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] looks over the group again
[20:11] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] what about the past few weeks?
[20:11] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] You're travelling with an officer of the Shadow Proclamation and a Los Angeles Police Detective. That makes me think you're on some kind of criminal investigation.
[20:12] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] And if we are?
[20:12] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] It doesn't matter to me.
[20:13] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] I haven't been paying attention to current affairs in the past few weeks, so no.
[20:13] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] I've had to read things last night. I suppose I should just come out with yje two questions.
[20:13] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] starts thinking on another line after that answer.
[20:13] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] ...I'm so sorry you had to read.
[20:14] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] Who is your employer and why does he or she believe Eliza is 'The Key'?
[20:14] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] ...That's extremely none of your concern.
[20:15] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] levels a stony gaze at him.
[20:16] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] I'm curious how you even know I've been tasked with finding her.
[20:17] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Just answer the question, lady.
[20:17] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] laughs derisively
[20:17] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Oh, the irony.
[20:17] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] What Irony?
[20:17] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] hmm?
[20:18] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] That you're here asking me to answer him when I'm fairly certain the whole reason I'm on this benighted quest is your fault, Ema Skye.
[20:18] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] ....
[20:18] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo]
[20:18] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] MY Fault? HOW?!
[20:19] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] I refuse to tell you who my employer is. But I will tell you why Eliza is wanted.
[20:20] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] gives Vermellia a look for a moment.
[20:20] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Why?
[20:20] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Because she *points to Ema* rescued him and let him loose upon the world once again.
[20:21] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] ...
[20:21] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] ...Kerrick.
[20:21] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Just. So.
[20:22] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] And who has the most history with that man, and who would be the most logical candidate to enlist for help in dealing with him?
[20:22] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] doesn't wait for an answer. "One of his detachments, of course."
[20:23] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] ...So you're here to bring her back... as a weapon?
[20:23] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Got it in one, Rosso.
[20:23] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] But what if she doesn't agree?
[20:24] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] My employer won't be pleased. But they estimate the chances of Eliza refusing are quite low.
[20:24] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] turns to Daniel
[20:24] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Now you.
[20:24] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] (as for that other line of thinking, what if the intended hightlighted word wasn't "Incident" but rather "Captured"?).... Thank you for confirming, or in this case, debunking my initial suspicions.
[20:25] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Tell me why you thought coming to me was a good idea.
[20:26] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] well, I had been given a clue by someone, we're dealing with a case right now that might just be bigger than all of us.
[20:26] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] doesn't sense deception in him.
[20:26] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] And that clue led you to me?
[20:27] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] the clue was was that the person was watching us had Captured an "Incident" a while back
[20:27] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] it did Initially.
[20:27] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Well, I'm bored and I have nothing to do, and I enjoy puzzles.
[20:28] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] but as you answered those questions, I began thinking of something else, what if the word wasn't "Incident", but "Captured"?
[20:28] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] I hate to say it, but there's only one other person who fits that description if I changed which word that clue was.
[20:28] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] "Capturing an Incident", as you may have guessed from my reaction when you asked me if I had done so, inmplie to me the action of recording it.
[20:30] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] looks to Ema Skye. "Haven't you taught him the importance of decisive evidence?"
[20:30] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] ...he's not the person I'm training
[20:31] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Well you probably should
[20:31] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] looks over at Daniel
[20:32] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] concentrates for a moment
[20:32] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] I think... from what I can scry from your mind...
[20:32] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] You haven't gone deep enough into the evidence.
[20:33] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] You hit upon an intriguing possibility, and seized upon it.
[20:33] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] But it's blinded you to other, much clearer evidence that may have lain before you.
[20:33] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Are you saying he needs to check the evidence again?
[20:34] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] You'te a detective, you tell me.
[20:34] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] ...she might be right.
[20:34] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] ...Mizuki
[20:34] <Bederatzi Porta> [Gensokyo] Of course I am.
[20:34] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Okay Daniel wait.
[20:35] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Before we go off on another wild goose chase, why Mizuki.
[20:35] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] What's the evidence?
[20:36] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] the night she came into the HOTEL, or rather, the day before.
[20:36] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Yeah?
[20:37] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] we had gotten a very clear picture of a Terrible Senshi, and an up close shot of diana.
[20:37] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Right...?
[20:38] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Daniel. Remember the two issues we have to explain.
[20:38] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] 1- Whoever it was was able to tip off the bad guys that Chibiusa was heading for the door right when she did
[20:39] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] 2 - Whoever it was had to have been able to listen in on us working out the enemy's plan.
[20:39] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] right.
[20:39] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] .......
[20:39] <D. Kakaku> (( Insert Shocked Phoenix Gif here ))
[20:39] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Does your evidence link Mizuki to those incidents?
[20:39] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] That wall of video monitors
[20:39] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] ...What wall of video monitors?
[20:40] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] That wall was NOT in my plans for her workspace.
[20:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Hold up what plans? What?
[20:40] * Bederatzi Porta [Gensokyo] goes back to her meditation and waiting for Eliza.
[20:41] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] the last time I came around to her room, there was a wall of video monitors... one of them was showing the Atrium.
[20:41] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] :O
[20:41] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] hands Vermy a copy of his plans for Mizuki's workspace.
[20:41] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Now that sounds like the evidence we were looking for.
[20:41] *** the plans do NOT include a wall of video monitors.
[20:41] *** DING DING DING. YOU FOUND THE LINE.
[20:43] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] ...If this means what I think it means....
[20:43] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Then while we're farting around over here...
[20:44] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] ...We need to get back!
[20:44] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] she's contacting someone.
[20:45] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Yeah... but who? Was it Motoki? Someone else?
[20:45] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] Ema, can I borrow your pocket for a moment?
[20:45] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Uhh, sure?
[20:45] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] might be both.
[20:45] * Det. Ema Skye [Gensokyo] opens one of the large pockets on her lab coat
[20:46] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] grabs a large pocket, and begins turning the dial.
[20:46] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] ...huh?
[20:47] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] I think it's time we surprised her.
[20:47] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Okay?
[20:47] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] will enter a size once they return.
[20:48] <D. Kakaku> [Gensokyo] alright, let's head back.
[20:48] *** So make it clear what you're doing, are you hiding in Ema's pocket?
[20:48] * D. Kakaku [Gensokyo] is hiding in Ema's pocket.
[20:49] <Det. Ema Skye> [Gensokyo] Got it. Vermellia, you're up.
[20:50] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Gensokyo] Ahoy Mr. Box! Let's go hooome!
[20:50] * There's a BUZZZING sound and the world shifts around you, back to the atrium!
[20:50] *** Vermellia X. Rosso has moved back to the Atrium
[20:50] *** Det. Ema Skye has moved back to the Atrium
[20:51] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ 20 um ]
[20:51] * Det. Ema Skye heads up with Vermellia to Mizuki's room
[20:52] * D. Kakaku [20 um] starts discreetly sending Ema directions to Mizuki's room.
[20:52] * Det. Ema Skye knows where she is. Any other directions before she knocks on the door?
[20:53] * D. Kakaku [20 um] sends a direction to put him on the floor, before it opens.
[20:53] * Det. Ema Skye does so, and knocks on the door.
[20:53] <Mizuki Aya> Come in, it's open!
[20:54] * D. Kakaku [20 um] looks to see if there is a gap.

[20:54] * D. Kakaku [20 um] runs under the gap.
[20:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I'm Vermellia!

[20:56] * Mizuki Aya doesn't like the vibe coming off these two at all
[20:57] * Mizuki Aya trembles when she regards Ema. She's a cop and the media's full of stories of cops going trigger happy.
[20:57] <Mizuki Aya> ...Can I help you?
[20:57] <Det. Ema Skye> You seem nervous?
[20:58] <Mizuki Aya> Well yeah, the two of you just showed up all of a sudden and t. b. h. I'm not getting the most positive vibes off you guys.
[20:58] * D. Kakaku [20 um] keeps on going.

[21:00] * Det. Ema Skye looks around to see if she can spot the monitors Daniel had mentioned.
[21:00] * D. Kakaku [20 um] heads towards Mizuki's shoes.
[21:00] <Mizuki Aya> Questions? About what, officer?
[21:02] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Where were you [the night Chibiusa got shot]?
[21:03] * Mizuki Aya shrugs. "Right here, in my room. Those awful monsters are out to get me, there's no way I can just leave here."
[21:04] * Vermellia X. Rosso is also looking around for the monitors
[21:04] * Mizuki Aya sees Vermellia nosing around
[21:04] <Mizuki Aya> Can I help you with something?

[21:05] * Det. Ema Skye subtly steps aside to block the exit
[21:05] *** sure. you're near her
[21:06] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Yeah. We're interested in your studio.
[21:06] * D. Kakaku [20 um] jumps towards her shoe.

[21:07] <Mizuki Aya> ...o...kaaay...
[21:07] * Mizuki Aya smiles nervously at Ema, not wanting to piss the cop off
[21:07] <Mizuki Aya> Sure thing, officer...
[21:07] * D. Kakaku [20 um] looks around for any stitching leading inside the shoe.
[21:08] * Mizuki Aya slowly, carefully walks over to the door leading to her studio
[21:08] *** LOL at 20 micrometers you can get through just about anywhere, go ahead and go where you need to go daniel
[21:08] * Det. Ema Skye tenses
[21:09] * Mizuki Aya opens the door and flips on a light switch so they can see inside
[21:09] * D. Kakaku [20 um] starts going through the stitching, heading on inside through there.
[21:09] * Vermellia X. Rosso looks at the setup
[21:09] *** Verm, 1d20
[21:09] <spiritflame> Vermellia X. Rosso rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]

[21:10] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...Yeah. It's hee.
[21:10] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ^here
[21:10] * Det. Ema Skye pulls out her gun and points it at Mizuki. "Don't move!"
[21:10] <Mizuki Aya> ....Wh-what's this about!?
[21:11] <Vermellia X. Rosso> That monitor you have there, pointed at the Atrium! That wasn't part of the plans for this studio, was it?
[21:11] <Mizuki Aya> Plans? How do you know what the plans for my studio are? Ddi you ask Daniel-san?!
[21:12] <Det. Ema Skye> Just answer her question!
[21:12] <Mizuki Aya> ...
[21:12] * D. Kakaku [20 um] is in the shoe and looks around.
[21:12] *** there's a foot in a sock.
[21:12] <Mizuki Aya> No, they weren't part of the plans. I put that in.
[21:13] <Vermellia X. Rosso> You admit it!?
[21:13] <Mizuki Aya> ...Of course I admit it!
[21:13] <Det. Ema Skye> ...huh
[21:13] <Mizuki Aya> ...There's monsters after me!
[21:14] * D. Kakaku [20 um] jumps towards the top of sock and peeks inside through its stitching.
[21:14] <Mizuki Aya> They nearly got me at my house! Did you think I wasn't gonna have security cameras looking at the front door?!
[21:14] <Mizuki Aya> I don't care how sci-fi this place is, I can't SLEEP at night because of that damn monster!!
[21:15] *** it's a foot. Don't know what else to tell you here.
[21:15] <Mizuki Aya> SO YEAH I put in a monitor that wasn't part of this plan! Does that violate some kind of building code?!
[21:15] * D. Kakaku [20 um] goes through the stitching, but where on the foot will he land?
[21:16] *** does it m-- on the top of the foot.
[21:16] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...It's a violation of privacy! And we have our own security systems here!
[21:17] <Mizuki Aya> So... you can violate privacy but others can't?
[21:17] <Vermellia X. Rosso> they come with the building!
[21:17] * D. Kakaku [20 um] looks around on top of the foot.
[21:17] <Mizuki Aya> ...Okay what's this really about.
[21:18] * Mizuki Aya is so angry now she's forgotten about her fear of the policewoman.
[21:18] *** Sir it's a foot. Not sure what you're wanting out of this
[21:19] <Det. Ema Skye> Okay fine. Cards on the table. Someone's been spying on us.
[21:19] * D. Kakaku [20 um] looks to see if the toes are nearby.
[21:19] <Det. Ema Skye> We're chasing down leads, and here we are.
[21:19] *** Sure. Why not.
[21:20] <Mizuki Aya> ...You could have just
[21:20] <Mizuki Aya> You could have just said that.
[21:20] * D. Kakaku [20 um] runs towards the big toe.
[21:21] * Mizuki Aya sighs and sits in her chair, slumping back in it.
[21:21] <Mizuki Aya> I'll co-operate. Look around all you want. And then, please leave me alone.
[21:22] <Det. Ema Skye> Thank you.
[21:22] <Det. Ema Skye> You'll forgive me if I lock the room door.
[21:22] <Mizuki Aya> ...
[21:22] * Mizuki Aya remembers all the stories she's hard of police brutality.
[21:22] * Mizuki Aya doesn't have any power in this scenario though, so goes with it.
[21:23] *** Daniel roll 1d20
[21:23] <D. Kakaku> [20 um] (if not a terrible senshi, might make a good spy spot, but if so, I hope I don't have to wadle through goo)
[21:23] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 4 ]
[21:23] * Mizuki Aya wrinkles her nose as she feels something odd near her toe
[21:24] * Mizuki Aya starts running her big toe against the next one over to try and scratch the itch
[21:24] <Mizuki Aya> ^rubbing
[21:25] *** D. Kakaku flips a coin into the air and catches it, tails side up
[21:27] * D. Kakaku [20 um] winds up on the toeprint of the next one over.
[21:27] <Det. Ema Skye> Verm I'm not the best with computers, can you look over the records on her terminal
[21:27] * D. Kakaku [20 um] looks around some more.
[21:27] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Sure thing!
[21:28] *** you're on the bottom of a toe. You don't need to spot check for being on a foot
[21:29] * D. Kakaku [20 um] starts to climb this toe towards the gap under the nail.
[21:29] * Vermellia X. Rosso heads over to the bank of machines that has the monitor looking at the Atrium and takes out Mr. Box, asking him to check the logs for anything sus.
[21:29] *** Mizuki roll 1d20
[21:29] <spiritflame> Mizuki Aya rolls 1d20 [ 20 ]
[21:30] * Mizuki Aya feels REALLY weird near her toe and pulls off her shoe and twists her foot, looking at the bottom of it. Through the power of a NAT 20 she is somehow able to discern Daniel.
[21:30] <Mizuki Aya> ...........................
[21:31] <Mizuki Aya> - WHAT. THE F[BLEEP]K?! -
[21:31] * Mizuki Aya SHAKES HER FOOT

[21:33] * D. Kakaku [20 um] tries holding on through the microgravitatiional pull, maybe, failing that, twists the dial again.
[21:33] <Mizuki Aya> I CAN'T BELIEVE I LAUNCHED HIS WHOLE F[BLEEP]KING CAREER!
[21:33] <D. Kakaku> [20 um] (helped me? I also helped you?)

[21:38] * Vermellia X. Rosso plays back a voice clip. "Two minutes."
[21:39] * Mizuki Aya pales. There's no mistaking it's her voice.
[21:39] * D. Kakaku [20 um] is now finding out he should have planted the apartment onto the insole from the beginning.
[21:39] *** DK you succeed in whatever it is you are trying there
[21:39] * Det. Ema Skye SMIRKS
[21:39] <Det. Ema Skye> Well, well, Mizuki... got anything to say for yourself?
[21:40] * D. Kakaku [20 um] starts leaping off the toe and towards the tiny apartment inside the shoe.
[21:40] * Mizuki Aya ... is a mess of emotions.
[21:40] * Mizuki Aya feels squicked out and violated by someone she considered a friend...
[21:40] * Mizuki Aya also... has bee caught dead to rights...
[21:41] * Mizuki Aya starts to just shake, and cry, burying her head in her hands.
[21:41] * D. Kakaku [20 um] also feels violated by someone he considered a friend, and tricked.
[21:41] * Mizuki Aya WAILS
[21:41] * Mizuki Aya CRIES OUT
[21:42] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Welp.
[21:42] * Vermellia X. Rosso pulls out Crescent Claw in its shotgun mode, just in case.
[21:42] <Mizuki Aya> ....
[21:42] <Mizuki Aya> It doesn't matter what you all do to me any more.
[21:42] <Mizuki Aya> Go ahead and shoot.
[21:43] <Mizuki Aya> This isn't the first time I've wanted to die.
[21:43] <Mizuki Aya> ...I almost did that time I jumped off the Rainbow bridge...
[21:44] * Mizuki Aya holds her forehead, which is flushed crimson
[21:44] * Mizuki Aya runs her hand over her forehead... and a Lunar crescent appears.
[21:44] <Mizuki Aya> But then I woke up.
[21:45] <Mizuki Aya> I realized who I used to be.
[21:45] * D. Kakaku [20 um] rushes into the apartment, and considers dropping a teleport crystal... he looks out to see what is going on.
[21:45] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...wha.... is that Diana's crescent?
[21:45] <Mizuki Aya> ..Who?
[21:45] <Mizuki Aya> This is mine
[21:46] <Mizuki Aya> This came out of me that day, when it stopped my fall into the river.
[21:46] <D. Kakaku> [20 um] (if she's not the one who took it, then who?)
[21:46] <Mizuki Aya> And I had that vision... of a shining queen. High on a hill, saving everyone. The same dream the Great Healer had...
[21:47] <Det. Ema Skye> So why the synthoid? Why help get Chibiusa shot?
[21:47] <Mizuki Aya> The ... what?
[21:47] * D. Kakaku [20 um] discreetly asks Ema if he could come out and appear.
[21:47] <Mizuki Aya> And I was just asked to relay when she made it to the front door.
[21:47] * D. Kakaku [20 um] discreetly asks via text.
[21:48] * Det. Ema Skye is SO PISSED AT DYNAMAXX RIGHT NOW but signals okay through gritted teeth
[21:48] <Det. Ema Skye> By Who?
[21:49] <Mizuki Aya> I don't know his name. We don't know names.
[21:49] * D. Kakaku [20 um] drios the crystal and heads out of the apartment, and the shoe, and grows back, he'll collect the both later.
[21:50] <Mizuki Aya> He called himself "Khonshu". Some kind of comic book name.
[21:50] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[21:51] <Det. Ema Skye> What do you people want
[21:51] <Mizuki Aya> You know what we want.
[21:51] <Mizuki Aya> You were discussing it the other night.
[21:51] * D. Kakaku hides from Mizuki's view, but makes sure to be loud enough.
[21:52] <Vermellia X. Rosso> We know you want to make a wish of some kind.
[21:52] <D. Kakaku> ...You want to change reality?
[21:52] <Mizuki Aya> ...reality.
[21:52] * Mizuki Aya gives a soft, defeated laugh.
[21:52] <Mizuki Aya> "Reality" is what nearly got me killed when that abusive ex-boyfriend of mine drove me to wanting to jump off a bridge.
[21:53] <Mizuki Aya> "Reality" is what led me to trust who I thought was a sweet guy who turned out to want to crawl all over me."
[21:53] <Det. Ema Skye> Look that was just part of th investigation. He was doing his job as a spy.
[21:53] <Mizuki Aya> Sure, whatever.
[21:53] <Mizuki Aya> Don't you all think this "reality" sucks?
[21:54] <Mizuki Aya> Police brutality. People who can't afford to make ends meet.
[21:54] <Mizuki Aya> People getting poorer and sicker every day while the top 1% ger richer and richer and plan to f[BLEEP]k off to Mars and leave us to f[BLEEP]king die on a planet getting warmer overy year.
[21:55] <Mizuki Aya> "Reality."
[21:55] <Mizuki Aya> When I awoke I remembered what was taken from us.
[21:55] <Mizuki Aya> By that b[BLEEP]ch Sailor Saturn.
[21:56] <Mizuki Aya> With one swipe of her gliave she erased a civilisation that had stood for ÆONS
[21:56] <Mizuki Aya> We didn't even have a CHANCE to try and fight metallia.
[21:56] <Mizuki Aya> It was decided for us that we were just to be erased.
[21:57] <Mizuki Aya> Only through the grace of the Shining Queen were we preserved.
[21:58] <Mizuki Aya> and that miracle... that destiny.. was for a reason.
[21:58] <Mizuki Aya> We were allowed to awaken once again to set things right.
[21:58] <Mizuki Aya> To erase the mistake of the last ten thousand years.
[21:58] <D. Kakaku> you know, there is a funny thing about that monster that you may not have picked up on.
[21:58] <Mizuki Aya> and when she wakes up, we will. And everything will be okay again.
[21:59] <Mizuki Aya> Tell me what I missed, Perv-san.
[21:59] <D. Kakaku> Its last words were "for the Glory of the Shining Queen".
[22:00] <D. Kakaku> the last words of the very monster that went after you.
[22:00] <Mizuki Aya> .................
[22:00] * Mizuki Aya looks genuinely confused
[22:00] <Mizuki Aya> ....You're lying.
[22:01] <D. Kakaku> no, I was there, and I dealt the final blow.
[22:01] <Mizuki Aya> ...
[22:02] * Mizuki Aya 's crecent moon glows on her forehead, and she yells out "PAPARAZZI VEIL!"
[22:02] *** Mizuki Roll 1d20
[22:02] <spiritflame> Mizuki Aya rolls 1d20 [ 6 ]
[22:03] <D. Kakaku> Ema, you were there too, if I recall.
[22:03] *** Sadly you are too emotionally f[BLEEP]ked up to cast an illusion rn
[22:03] * Mizuki Aya shrugs and JUMPS OUT THE WINDOW THEN
[22:03] <Det. Ema Skye> WAIT!!!
[22:03] * Vermellia X. Rosso DIVES AFTER HER
[22:03] *** Verm 1d20

[22:04] <Mizuki Aya> NO!
[22:04] * Mizuki Aya dashes into the street
[22:04] *** Mizuki... 1d20
[22:04] <spiritflame> Mizuki Aya rolls 1d20 [ 4 ]
[22:05] <D. Kakaku> (wait, did she put her shoes back on?)
[22:05] *** As Vermellia watches horrified, Mizuki is HIT by an oncoming truck
[22:05] *** Mizuki, saving throw 1d20
[22:05] <spiritflame> Mizuki Aya rolls 1d20 [ 12 ]
[22:06] *** in her powered up Silver Millennium state she SURVIVES the hit and clings onto the front of the truck, being whisked away at high speed. Normally Verm could run after the truck and catch her, but due to the SHOCK of seeing her get hit by the truck, she hesitated for JUST too long. Aya Mizuki ESCAPES
[22:07] *** and No Daniel, I told you she took the shoe off remember?
[22:07] *** That's how she saw you and got pissed in the first place.
[22:08] <D. Kakaku> should have just planted it, anyways... Ema?
[22:08] * Vermellia X. Rosso just shakes her head aghast and goes back in the HOTEL, heading up to Mizuki's room
[22:08] * Det. Ema Skye is ANGRILY eating SNACKOOS and GLARING at DANIELMAXX
[22:08] <D. Kakaku> now that you know who I was that night, well.
[22:08] * you hear NOTHING but the sound of her ANGRILY CRUNCHING
[22:09] <Det. Ema Skye> ¬_¬
[22:09] <Det. Ema Skye> ¬_¬
[22:09] <D. Kakaku> I guess you can take me in.
[22:09] <Det. Ema Skye> - *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* -
[22:10] * Det. Ema Skye IS SERIOUSLY considering it
[22:10] * Det. Ema Skye eventually exhales
[22:10] <Det. Ema Skye> ....No more messing with the police, got it.
[22:10] <D. Kakaku> trap me in a snackoo, or do whatever you like.
[22:10] <D. Kakaku> got it.
[22:10] <Det. Ema Skye> ...........
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> Guy
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> you're on super thin ice.
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> I don't know what gets you off but never joke like that around me again if you know what's good for you :P
[22:11] * D. Kakaku nods.
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> Like it or not you found the clue that cracked the case wide open.
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> So there's some hope for you yet, but you need to clean up your act.
[22:12] * Det. Ema Skye gets some crime scene tape.
[22:13] <Det. Ema Skye> for now we're gonna lock this room down and spend the next few days combing it for clues.
[22:14] <Det. Ema Skye> That interrogation told us something interesting.
[22:14] * Det. Ema Skye looks to Daniel. "Did you catch it?"
[22:14] <D. Kakaku> the name, right?
[22:15] <D. Kakaku> 'Khonshu', was it?
[22:16] <Det. Ema Skye> That's part of it. Tell me what you're thinking {{and I swear to god if it's about feet or getting eaten by someone I swear--]]
[22:16] * Det. Ema Skye may have mumbled that slightly out loud
[22:16] <Det. Ema Skye> Well that is an interesting clue.
[22:16] <Det. Ema Skye> Tells me someone was watching "Moon Knight"
[22:16] <Det. Ema Skye> but more fundamentally
[22:17] <Det. Ema Skye> The way she reacted when you told her the last words of that Terrible-senshi.
[22:18] <D. Kakaku> she said that I was lying, but we were all there, well, the two of us.
[22:18] <D. Kakaku> you andme.
[22:19] <D. Kakaku> it's as though... whoever Khonshu is... wanted no loose ends.
[22:19] <Det. Ema Skye> Could be.
[22:20] <Det. Ema Skye> But it also makes it sound like the Left hand doesn't know what the Right hand is doing.
[22:21] <D. Kakaku> a two way mirror, perhaps?
[22:21] <Det. Ema Skye> Oh?
[22:22] * Vermellia X. Rosso was stuck in the elevator
[22:22] <D. Kakaku> the other person sees you through, but you can only see yourself through the same mirror
[22:22] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa [Toilet] FINALLY GOT OUT OF THE TOILET
[22:22] *** DETECTIVE Chibiusa has moved back to the Atrium
[22:22] * Det. Ema Skye finishines taping off the room. "Let's head down to the Atrium
[22:23] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I JUST GOT UP HERE OMG
[22:23] <D. Kakaku> alright.

[22:23] <D. Kakaku> want to go in style?.... okay.
[22:23] * D. Kakaku heads down with.
[22:23] <Det. Ema Skye> So what did you all think of her screed?
[22:23] * Det. Ema Skye settles in on a couch
[22:24] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm not up on all the Silver Millennium stuff.
[22:24] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Oh gawd I hate Silver Millennium stuff
[22:24] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Everything circles back to it
[22:25] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Like... the lore and background of MY culture's so freaking awesome and complicated and dangerous but NOOO IT'S ALWAYS SOME PROBLEM CAUSED BY A DEAD ROYAL FAMILY FROM TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO
[22:25] <Matsuo Shin> ......
[22:25] * Matsuo Shin GLARES at Vermilla
[22:26] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...AND SOME UNDEAD ONES
[22:26] * Vermellia X. Rosso points at him "Zommmmbiiiieee"
[22:26] * Matsuo Shin pours himself some whiskey
[22:26] <Matsuo Shin> yes. laugh.
[22:26] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...I'm sorry Matsuo I'm just havin' a bad day
[22:27] <Matsuo Shin> I am aware
[22:27] <Matsuo Shin> ........and they anger me too
[22:28] * Matsuo Shin drinks
[22:28] * Matsuo Shin looks like he's been drinking for a bit too
[22:28] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Yeah I mean you lived there
[22:29] <Vermellia X. Rosso> There's no way it was all as perfect as she says
[22:29] <Vermellia X. Rosso> No place is
[22:29] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...right?
[22:29] <Matsuo Shin> ....
[22:30] * Matsuo Shin looks like he wants to say something..like he's DYING TO SAY IT
[22:30] * Matsuo Shin keeps his mouth shut
[22:30] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...
[22:30] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...she's not... right is she?
[22:30] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Has the world really gone backwards from what it used to be?
[22:31] <Det. Ema Skye> Look.
[22:31] * Matsuo Shin slams his fist on the bar..like he's trying not. to say something even if he does
[22:31] <Det. Ema Skye> I dunno about ten thousand years ago but I know about today.
[22:31] <Det. Ema Skye> And the friends I have
[22:31] <Det. Ema Skye> and the people I care about
[22:31] <Det. Ema Skye> The world is a big pile of dirt. But the people are gems
[22:32] <Det. Ema Skye> And I'm never going to say hitting the reset button is an acceptable choice.
[22:32] <Det. Ema Skye> It's up to us to fix things in the here and now.
[22:33] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Ema...
[22:33] <Vermellia X. Rosso> for different reasons... I was where she was...
[22:33] * Matsuo Shin CHUGS DOWN THE BOTTLE
[22:33] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I didn't try to jump of a bridge...
[22:33] <Vermellia X. Rosso> but...
[22:34] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...I was saved by the Shadow Architect... and my friends.
[22:34] <Vermellia X. Rosso> And it was a long, hard road...
[22:34] <Vermellia X. Rosso> she was saved... by a vision... and a "miracle."
[22:34] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Something that fast
[22:34] <Vermellia X. Rosso> It'll mess a person up.
[22:35] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What if the other Golden Crescent people are like her?
[22:35] <Det. Ema Skye> Well this whole thing kicked off ages ago when they bombed Greenstone Manor
[22:36] <Det. Ema Skye> Insinuating Matsuo here wasn't telling the truth.
[22:36] <Det. Ema Skye> It's pretty clear they're looking at history through a cracked lens.
[22:36] <Det. Ema Skye> Or one with lots of Vaseline on it.
[22:37] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> It's bulls[BLEEP]t
[22:37] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Puu used to tell me about the Fall
[22:37] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> There's no way anyone could have just "beat" Metallia.
[22:37] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> It was like the movie "Aliens"
[22:38] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Nuke the Site from ORbit it's the only way to be Sure
[22:38] <D. Kakaku> what about that dream she mentioned?
[22:38] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> It was just too big
[22:38] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> The Shining Queen thing?
[22:38] <D. Kakaku> yeah.
[22:38] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Probably when Grandma saved everyone and sent them into the future
[22:39] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> So they weren't completely erased and could be reborn again
[22:39] <D. Kakaku> yeah, I took another look at those logs.
[22:40] <D. Kakaku> I found someone else who had a similar dream, slightly different.
[22:40] <D. Kakaku> like an alternate universe or something.
[22:40] <Det. Ema Skye> Who?
[22:41] <D. Kakaku> except...it was in Said queen's Point of view from whatever universe it came from
[22:43] <D. Kakaku> as for who, she is described as having Pink skin, wings on her forehead, likes to play card games for some reason.
[22:43] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Weird
[22:45] <D. Kakaku> reigning champion of something called "Knights & Guardians"
[22:47] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa nods
[22:48] <Mercurius Shin> .....
[22:48] <Mercurius Shin> ..what's gotten into him
[22:48] * Mercurius Shin points out Matsuo who has passed out drunk
[22:48] * Det. Ema Skye retells the tale of the night's events
[22:50] <Mercurius Shin> .....
[22:50] <Mercurius Shin> ugggh sounds like real pains in the ass
[22:50] <Mercurius Shin> I don't get this obesssion with back then
[22:51] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Well they don't know the whole story I bet.
[22:51] <Mercurius Shin> ..ugh i could tell you some stories
[22:52] <Mercurius Shin> (those f[BLEEP]kers)
[22:52] <Det. Ema Skye> That would probably get you firebombed by those guys.
[22:52] <Det. Ema Skye> ...It also seemed like she was tryin to use powers before she jumped out of the window
[22:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Yeah it did...
[22:53] <D. Kakaku> maybe to blind us or something?
[22:53] <Mercurius Shin> ..i have to wonder how she got powers in the first place
[22:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...do those awakened people have powers as well as memories?
[22:53] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm, maybe
[22:53] <Mercurius Shin> ..I mean not everyone had powers
[22:53] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Well if they were from the inner court...
[22:54] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Probably a lot of them were talented
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> it might be during a low point in their lives.
[22:54] * Mercurius Shin SPITS at that phrase
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> when they woke up.
[22:54] <Det. Ema Skye> Clearly not all because we did find a few of their dead cult members remember?
[22:54] <Mercurius Shin> those f[BLEEP]kers
[22:54] <Det. Ema Skye> Though some of them were just like desperate cosplayers.
[22:55] <D. Kakaku> Mizuki was at a low point, and so was the healer.
[22:55] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Well they almost died... so they woke up their memories, but it doesn't mean it gave them powers... probably unlocked what they had...
[22:57] <Mercurius Shin> i still want to kick their ass for what they did to my wife's business
[22:57] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> What happened?
[22:58] <Mercurius Shin> you recall
[22:58] <Mercurius Shin> what happened at Mizunomics?
[22:58] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I spent half the day in the toilet face down
[22:59] * Mercurius Shin retells what happened
[23:00] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> oh yeah that
[23:00] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa cleans out one ear
[23:01] <Mercurius Shin> yeah
[23:01] * D. Kakaku sighs
[23:01] <D. Kakaku> mmhmm
[23:01] <Mercurius Shin> why do you keep doing that?
[23:03] <D. Kakaku> it's when I'm trying to tkink of something to say, but can't
[23:05] <Mercurius Shin> ..so like when someone just says the word "Ooh" over and over again
[23:05] * Mercurius Shin glances at..someone
[23:06] <D. Kakaku> yeah, basically.
[23:06] *** The roof leaks and water spills all over Mercurius . Oh wait. That was an incontinent pigeon.
[23:07] <Mercurius Shin> .....
[23:07] *** ooh
[23:08] <Mercurius Shin> f[BLEEP]ker
[23:10] <D. Kakaku> I'm off to see Georgia and Beetreen upstairs.
[23:12] <D. Kakaku> last time I came up there late, I got small in another way.
[23:12] <Det. Ema Skye> .............
[23:12] * Det. Ema Skye turns green
[23:12] * D. Kakaku starts heading up the stairs
[23:12] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> HSHSHSHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[18:30] <Chibi-Nat> Whatcha doing?
[18:30] <Chibi-Nat> I hope everyone didn't miss us too much!
[18:31] <Monica> Mostly seeing how things are here. Had to take care of some personal business, so it's been a while.
[18:34] <Chibi-Nat> How much silliness has been happening while we were away?
[18:35] *** Several Forest Kits start approaching Monica, smug, sneaky grins on their faces.

[20:34] * Det. Ema Skye looks at Monica.
[20:34] *** Monica is a 6'2" Nekomata with blonde hair, beige fur and heterochromatic eyes--- one amber, one silver. Her toned and supple body has a number of fading scars across it--- somehow, they add to her attractiveness. Eoria and she have a long history together.
Her image Song is: Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There by Shoji Meguro (dual mix by theultimateonejpsx).
[20:34] <Det. Ema Skye> Hey there.
[20:36] <Monica> You two seem busy. Got a cliff-notes version of what's with all this recent weirdness?
[20:36] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Oh boy.
[20:36] * Det. Ema Skye tries to think of how to sommarize--
[20:36] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I GOT THIS BOSS
[20:36] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> SO HERE'S THE DEAL
[20:40] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Mizuki Aya was a spy for the golden crescent and she was spying on us to report back to her handler codenamed "Konshu" because she was drawn into their group after she tried to kill herself at a low point and she awoke to her silver millennium memories and felt that the world was way better back then and that society now is full of s[BLEEP]t and she believes like they do that they need to hit the reset button by making a massive wish to erase the history of the last 10,000 years and revive the silver millennium. Oh and she thinks Hotaru-chan is a b[BLEEP]ch because Saturn was the one who killed them all without giving them a chance to fight metallia. So then she jumped out the window, got hit by a truck and escaped as it took her away from here.
[20:42] <Monica> .......by Lamington, this is a mess.
[20:42] <Pinako> hi :D
[20:42] <Det. Ema Skye> Pretty much, yeah
[20:42] <Det. Ema Skye> Hi there.
[20:43] <Pinako> what-cha doing? :O
[20:43] <Monica> I heard some tidings about that Golden Crescent Cult before, but finding out they're a bunch of rose-glasses atavists....
[20:43] <Det. Ema Skye> Oh, one thing Chibiusa didn't mention... it looks like there's at least two factions
[20:44] <Det. Ema Skye> Because Aya didn't know some of the things that were going on, like the duplication of Motoki or the fact the "Terrible-senshi" apparently revere the same "Shining Queen" she does.
[20:44] <Monica> Those being....
[20:45] <Det. Ema Skye> That's what I'm trying to find out. It looks like there's a more extreme faction of the group.
[20:45] <Monica> Figures.
[20:46] <Det. Ema Skye> But just how far either side is willing to go I don't know.
[20:46] * Vermellia X. Rosso waves to Pinako "We're going over evidence!"
[20:46] <Pinako> Evidence? :O
[20:47] <Det. Ema Skye> Just recovered computer logs from Aya's computers. But we haven't gotten much more than we got yesterday.
[20:50] <Pinako> what do they have in common? :O
[20:50] <Det. Ema Skye> Just that she was in contact with "Khonshu" whoever that is
[20:51] <Det. Ema Skye> And she was in some of the Facebook Groups related to the Golden Crescent we found months ago. And she's a huge fan of Yuki Sakuraba, as a fangirl, not just an agent.
[20:51] <Pinako> Kohnshu? :O
[20:52] <Monica> .....Khonshu.... if my memory serves me, that's the name of an Egyptian Moon God.
[20:52] <Det. Ema Skye> It's a codename based on the Marvel Comics character based on that god.
[20:52] <Det. Ema Skye> Apparently the members of the organization use codenames when referring to each other.
[20:54] <Pinako> codenames? :O
[20:54] <Det. Ema Skye> Which makes it that much harder to pin down who's involved.
[20:54] <Pinako> you meannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn name themselves after lunar elements? :O
[20:54] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...Are you a parrot?
[20:54] <Det. Ema Skye> Well they are a Moon related cult so it makes sense
[20:55] <Det. Ema Skye> But thanks to Daniel cracking that Aya was a member of the group, it finally gives us a lead. And the fact she escaped actually works in our favor.
[20:56] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> How so, Boss?
[20:56] <Monica> Figuring out a way to track her?
[20:56] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I can answer that - she might lead us to other members of the cult, either by her going to them... or them trying to kill her.
[20:57] <Vermellia X. Rosso> We've got all the CCTV cameras in the city looking for her using AI face-matching.
[21:00] <Pinako> what else did the whackos have in common? :O
[21:01] *** loud thudding can be heard from the next room.

[21:19] * @Sakura X. Aino works with Aunt Mats to securely bind this thing, assuming that with the emeergency over, the suit might wake Liza back up
[21:20] * @Sakura X. Aino was briefed on her by Neminix
[21:20] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka beams out a 2-minute warning to local controllers that Liza is about to wake up.
[21:20] <@Sakura X. Aino> Tnaks Aunt Mats...
[21:20] <@Sakura X. Aino> You sure have one powerfully potent punch there.
[21:21] <Matsumi Kaze> ..huh..oh thanks
[21:21] *** A notification goes out to the suit-remotes that Liza weill awaken in 1 minute unless overriden.
[21:21] * Matsumi Kaze grimaces to herself
[21:22] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Mmmmmm?
[21:22] * @Sakura X. Aino doesn't want to override it
[21:22] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka takes a deep breath, and then half-opens her eyes.
[21:22] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> !!!!!
[21:22] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Ommm MMkura~!
[21:22] <@Sakura X. Aino> Welcome back to the land of the living~
[21:22] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> S--Sakura! You found me! I've been waiting so long!
[21:23] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...I'm probably not the Sakura you've been looking for~
[21:23] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks really happy! "I knew you guys would find this dimension eventually! I'm so glad to see----"
[21:23] <Matsumi Kaze> ..do you still need me at all?
[21:23] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks down at the monster, and blinks a couple of times.
[21:23] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh... sorry everyone.
[21:23] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> >.<
[21:23] * @Sakura X. Aino grabs Aunt Mats by the back of the collar lightly
[21:23] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well. I'm glad that nothing unfortunate happened.
[21:23] <@Sakura X. Aino> No running off to Tokyo for you. Stay.
[21:25] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah we're just in the middle of a situation.
[21:25] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka peers curiously at the monster. Then she looks at Sakura. Her big suit bows slowly. "I'm sorry, I got a little case of mistaken identity there. I thought my visitation here was over for a moment. It's really nice to meet you. I calculate that there's an 80% chance that your reputation precedes you.
[21:26] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'll just be over here, I don't want to be in anybody's way.
[21:26] * @Sakura X. Aino chuckles
[21:26] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka goes over and watches from the corner, making sure her vid feeds are recording because this looks rpetty important.
[21:26] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well you're welcome to look for as long as your luck holds
[21:26] * @Sakura X. Aino tosses Ema a Tricorder
[21:27] <Det. Ema Skye> I *think* I can work this
[21:27] <Det. Ema Skye> It might be better if we could talk to them.
[21:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> That BADRU is tough. I wouldn'
[21:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> Wouldn't want them to escape.
[21:28] <Det. Ema Skye> So we're looking for any clues as to who did the gene editing, right?
[21:28] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at Sakura X. Aino.
[21:28] *** Sakura X. Aino is



More information about Here.
image Song is: 0.
[21:28] <Monica> I get the feeling even if this thing wasn't trying to escape, they're not going to divulge anything of interest willingly.
[21:28] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah.
[21:28] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka listens intently, watching this Sakura work.
[21:28] <@Sakura X. Aino> Totes agree, Monica.
[21:29] * @Sakura X. Aino runs her sonic over the Monster and lets it feed data to Ema's Tricorder, which projects a DNA Spiral in the air
[21:29] * Matsumi Kaze sits near the river, silently brooding to herself...
[21:29] * @Sakura X. Aino frowns, looking it over.
[21:30] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hey Matsumi?
[21:30] <@Sakura X. Aino> Is that DNA... changing?
[21:30] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I think you did a really good job there!
[21:30] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah...
[21:30] * Matsumi Kaze just gives a thumbs up without turning to face Liza
[21:30] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> No really, you did great! It's luck you were here! I think you are really heroic! ^_^
[21:30] <Det. Ema Skye> I mean... I'm no geneticist... but I can see it splitting apart and recombining
[21:31] <Det. Ema Skye> Hey! Ami Mizuno is here. If she's not dealing with her patient, maybe she can come take a look
[21:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah, that's a good idea
[21:31] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka watches what she's seeing. She turns another camera on the armorsuit towards it, too.
[21:31] * @Sakura X. Aino PAGES DR. MIZUNO
[21:31] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[21:31] * Matsumi Kaze just looks in the water
[21:32] *** Mizunomics01 [user001.securenet.05@mizunomics.co.jp] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[21:32] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Mizunomics01
[21:32] <Mizunomics01> I don't have a lot of time, Sakura-chan. My patient needs a lot of attention.
[21:32] <Monica> Still, to make this thing look so.... twisted.... whomever is behind this has a horrible sense of aesthetics.
[21:33] <Mizunomics01> Not the one you're thinking of. That one never arrived, Skye-san.
[21:33] <Det. Ema Skye> What do you mean "never showed up?"
[21:33] <Det. Ema Skye> ..Anyway one thing at a time
[21:33] <Det. Ema Skye> What do you make of this
[21:34] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at Mizunomics01.
[21:34] *** Mizunomics01 is




Her image Song is: "What we need more of is Science" by MC Hawking.
[21:34] * Mizunomics01 looks over the DNA
[21:35] <Mizunomics01> Monica-san, the reason the creature looks this way is that it's still evolving.
[21:35] * Matsumi Kaze gently pets Tina's head.....
[21:35] <Mizunomics01> The DNA here is clearly in a transitional phase... but unlike a mutation that leads to a known final state... these appear to be self-directed changes
[21:36] * Det. Ema Skye lets Sakura handle this and Diverts with Vermellia to try and hunt down their AWOL patient
[21:36] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka raising one eyebrow is clearly visible through the armorsuit's visor.
[21:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> !
[21:36] <Monica> So this Sailor Badru wanted to look like something out of a B-grade horror anime?
[21:37] <@Sakura X. Aino> Wait... "Self-directed"? Do you mean like it decides it wants to have a biological capability and then it evolves it?
[21:37] <Mizunomics01> I'm saying it's adapting its form to be advantageous to it in the moment.
[21:37] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Is that a real-time simulation of that DNA? Pardon my unsolicited interruption, please?
[21:37] <Mizunomics01> Right now it's self-optimized for brute strength.
[21:38] <@Sakura X. Aino> It's a real-time scan of the actual DNA.
[21:38] <@Sakura X. Aino> Not a simulation. Changes are happening in real time.
[21:38] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is watching from the corner, and several of the implements of the armor are pointing toward the DNA sequence hologram.
[21:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Okay.
[21:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> In that case...
[21:38] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka pushes some buttons.
[21:39] <Mizunomics01> As attractive as the human form might be to us, it's not necessarily the best for any particular battle.
[21:39] <Monica> Hmmm.... reminds me of a species I remember hearing about --- specifically engineered to adapt to any sort of environment. It was originally meant to terraform a far-off star-system.
[21:39] *** Pulses of subsonic waves, loud ones, at a rate of one per half-second, start emanating from the Castle Mk LVI.
[21:40] <@Sakura X. Aino> It reminds me of the Borg, in a way.
[21:40] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Er... I didn't ask if I should run this experiment... but I think it's REALLY important to find out whether or not this DNA reacts to sound. If it can hear your voices, you need to know it IMMEDIATELY before you decide on a solution verbally.
[21:40] *** The subsonic waves coming from the suit grow louder
[21:40] * Matsumi Kaze opens a ginger ale and drinks
[21:40] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka checks if the DNA registers changes in response to this.
[21:40] *** Right now the DNA is not reacting to it
[21:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm hoping that none of you can hear this? <.<
[21:41] <Mizunomics01> Sakura-chan, who did this genetic work?
[21:41] <@Sakura X. Aino> We don't know? We're looking for clues
[21:41] <Mizunomics01> These techniques...
[21:42] <Mizunomics01> They remind me of my run-in with the Eightfold Empire.
[21:42] <Mizunomics01> The Mercurians...
[21:42] <@Sakura X. Aino> Do you think they're involved?
[21:42] <Mizunomics01> No... this is... simpler than their work. But their work was 10,000 years ahead...
[21:43] <Monica> How much you want to bet the Golden Crescent Cult stole from them as well?
[21:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...ahead of the Silver Millennium...
[21:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> I think she's saying this is the work of a Silver Millennium-era Mercurian?
[21:43] <Mizunomics01> Yes.
[21:43] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka keeps listening and recording.
[21:44] * Matsumi Kaze gets up and walks away from the group, heading to the other end of the room
[21:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Matsumi? Are you okay? I sure think you did a good job!
[21:44] <Mizunomics01> From what little I've heard you all discussing, this "Golden Crescent" is comprised of people who've awakened their Silver Millennium memories, and their hangers-on, right?
[21:44] <Pinako> hi :D
[21:44] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yes.
[21:45] <Mizunomics01> Then it's reasonable one or more of them may have been Mercurian in their past life.
[21:46] <Monica> And that opens up the possibilities of others from the other planets being in on this project.
[21:46] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is quiet.
[21:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...yeah I was gonna say that too Monica...
[21:46] * Matsumi Kaze walks along the trees that grow in the arium and just feels one
[21:46] <Mizunomics01> The Silver Millennium was an interplanetary society, so it stands to reason.
[21:47] <Mizunomics01> The inner court of Queen Serenity had people from many worlds.
[21:47] <Mizunomics01> So, in a way, Sakura-chan, we're literally up against the past.
[21:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> A past that very badly wants to become the present.
[21:47] <Pinako> Who's inner court?
[21:48] <Mizunomics01> Queen Serenity's.
[21:48] * Matsumi Kaze looks out the window to the night
[21:48] <Mizunomics01> Sakura-chan... I have a husband.
[21:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Just going to weigh in here, Chateaux, that I think this is really interesting. I hope it is useful to you!
[21:48] * Pinako can't really hear the word/name "Serenity" at the moment, her mind is either blanking it out or scrambling it.
[21:48] <@Sakura X. Aino> So do I.
[21:48] <Mizunomics01> In this universe.
[21:49] <@Sakura X. Aino> So do I. Oogami is from here.
[21:49] <Pinako> Queen who?
[21:49] <Mizunomics01> I don't want him erased, Sakura-chan.
[21:49] <Mizunomics01> Serenity.
[21:49] <Pinako> ♦ (whatever name they are giving out, we can't seem to hear it somehow)
[21:49] <@Sakura X. Aino> We won't let that happen, Aunt Ami.
[21:50] <Pinako> I... It sounds like you're giving me a garbled name.
[21:50] <Mizunomics01> Perhaps you have a psychological block concerning her name.
[21:50] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at Pinako.
[21:50] *** Pinako is Is the future daughter of DD_Girl_Pink, she is named after both Her mother and Aino Minako, she smiles at you, as if she wants to play. Makes Cookies often, so stop by her when you get the chance!

[21:51] <Mizunomics01> Not surprising if you're a Youma.
[21:51] <Mizunomics01> I'm sure many Youma aren't comfortable with that name.
[21:51] * Sailor BADRU mumbles
[21:52] < Sailor BADRU> BADRU... begins to awaken.
[21:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Look!
[21:52] <Pinako> No, I mean, somehow, I can't seem to hear it, or it gets I don't know, somehow scrambled when it reaches me.
[21:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Sh--should I help?
[21:52] <@Sakura X. Aino> Feel free, Liza!
[21:53] *** A large number of projectile weapons inbuilt into Liza's armorsuit pivot on their mountings and face Sailor BADRU.
[21:53] * Sailor BADRU stretches its fingers, the joints cracking.
[21:53] * Pinako looks at the Terrible Senshi :O
[21:53] * Sailor BADRU slowly opens its eyes and regards its surroundings
[21:53] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU fears no Youma-spawn!
[21:53] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hi! Would you mind please staying still and not hurting anybody?
[21:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Like, maybe just for a little bit?
[21:54] * Sailor BADRU uses that term to refer to ALL of you
[21:54] * Sailor BADRU tilts its head curiously at Liza
[21:54] < Sailor BADRU> You would make supplication to SAILOR BADRU?
[21:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yes, because I always believe in asking nicely.
[21:55] <Pinako> ♦ (Get yourself ready... I sense this might not be a card battle.)
[21:55] < Sailor BADRU> ...
[21:55] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BA
[21:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I dont' want anybody to be hurt. Could you just... not try to fight for a minute, please?
[21:55] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU will honor the principles of Chivalry
[21:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[21:55] * Sailor BADRU sits up slowly. "For a time."
[21:55] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...
[21:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, that's all I asked you to do!
[21:56] <Monica> (Wait, I see where Liza's going with this.)
[21:56] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...why did you terrible-senshi attack me and Diana in Roppongi?
[21:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Thank you very much for agreeing. My name is Liza. Liza Suminaka-Sunrise.
[21:56] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU will not speak to the VENUSIAN YOUMA.
[21:56] * Pinako sighs a bit, both physically and double mentally.
[21:57] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU will only speak to Liza-Liza Suminaka-Sunrise.
[21:57] * Matsumi Kaze is away 
[21:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[21:57] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...I'm not a youma.
[21:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm glad you could hear me.
[21:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Normally, lots of people tend to speak very quietly around here.
[21:58] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU has exceptional hearing.
[21:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, wow. That's amazing.
[21:58] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU is exceptional.
[21:59] < Sailor BADRU> Even amongst SAILOR BADRU'S fellow 'Shambles' SAILOR BADRU is noteworthy.
[21:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That's clearly true! I've never seen anything like you! And here I was thinking it wasn't strong enough to pick up sounds under 16 Hertz, the threshold of human hearing.
[21:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Shambles?
[21:59] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU believes Liza-Liza Suminaka-Sunrise to be exceptionally strong.
[22:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ...
[22:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> >.>
[22:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> <.<
[22:00] <Monica> (Shambles.... does she mean rejects, or not fully-evolved specimens?)
[22:00] <@Sakura X. Aino> Can "Sailor Badru" please stop ignoring me?
[22:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I hope to be exceptionally strong at helping others.
[22:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Wow, I have so many questions... normally really big creatures hear lower pitch sounds because their eardrums are bigger and vibrate at those frequency better. Can you hear really high pitched sounds too?
[22:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> <.<
[22:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And... why did you attack Miss Sakura in Rappongi?
[22:01] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU can evolve to hear whatever SAILOR BADRU needs to hear.
[22:01] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU attacked the Venusian Youma in order to liberate the property of the Shining Queen.
[22:02] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh gosh, I have no idea who any of those people are?
[22:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> That Crescent belonged to Diana!
[22:02] * Sailor BADRU shrugs
[22:02] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm new here! I'm sorry. Who's the Shining Queen? She sounds really interesting.
[22:02] < Sailor BADRU> "The Shining Queen is the Shining Queen. She Who Shall Light The Way."
[22:02] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Does she actually shine?
[22:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Like... in a phosphorescent, incandescent, or flourescent way?
[22:03] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU believes she does shine with the Moonlight Power.
[22:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'd bet on the second one, but either way is fascinating.
[22:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OH~!
[22:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[22:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You say you believe it!
[22:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm... really impressed by that.
[22:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Can you percieve the power? You'd be able to if you needed to, I'm sure, because you can evolve to do whatever you need to do.
[22:04] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU has not met her. SAILOR BADRU only knows the stories and the promise of the Day when The Shining Queen shall awaken.
[22:04] <Pinako> ♦ (Shining Queen... familiar or maybe...)
[22:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> But I think believing she does is just as special!
[22:04] <Pinako> (how do you think?)
[22:04] < Sailor BADRU> SAILOR BADRU will not live to see the fulfillment of that promise.
[22:04] *** A wealthy and prominent Tokyo resident goes missing permanently.
[22:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> What? Why not?
[22:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You are so strong! Couldn't you live to see it if you chose to?
[22:05] < Sailor BADRU> ...Because SAILOR BADRU will now... explode.
[22:05] * Sailor BADRU BITES its tongue
[22:05] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...OH... S[BLEEP]T
[22:05] <@Sakura X. Aino> SEEK COVER
[22:05] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's armorsuit FIRES the tranquilizer darts.
[22:05] * Sailor BADRU turns a GLOWING BLUE
[22:05] * Monica snaps her fingers to produce powerful magical barriers over everyone.
[22:06] *** A succession of compressed air is heard, as tranquilizer darts scatter across the room and embed themselves into Sailor BADRU.
[22:06] * the darts hit it but it's too late, the self-destruct sequence was triggered the moment it bit its tongue
[22:06] * Sailor BADRU BLOATS and GLOWS and THEN
[22:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( Very unfortunate. I had that ready to copy/paste too, because she expected trouble. I guess I lost it. ))
[22:06] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks sad.
[22:06] *** BUL-WHOOOOOOM
[22:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Couldn't you survive this if you want----
[22:07] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has teleported away.
[22:07] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is away 
[22:07] * Sailor BADRU explodes into chinks of gib that immediately start melting away
[22:07] * Pinako raises her pen..... and is given a shocked look O__O
[22:07] *** Suminake may have picked up a sound before SAILOR BADRU declared its intent ot explode
[22:08] *** ^Suminaka
[22:09] <Pinako> .....
[22:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> Thanks for the shield, Monica...
[22:09] <Pinako> were they given... that fatal offensive defensive mechanism?
[22:09] <Monica> Most likely it's to deny any other evidence from being collected.
[22:10] <Mizunomics01> It looks like that was built in, yes.
[22:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah another one had a killswitch on the jewel in its bow.
[22:11] <Pinako> but, I thought it was exclusive only to full blooded Youma :O
[22:11] <Mizunomics01> We're not dealing with anything like we've seen before.
[22:12] <Mizunomics01> These are clearly engineered weapons of war.
[22:12] <Mizunomics01> Or at the very least, servants.
[22:12] <Monica> She mentioned "Shambles"..... maybe they're rejects, or not-fully-evolved specimens?
[22:13] <Mizunomics01> Or it could be what they're called.
[22:13] <Mizunomics01> "Terrible-senshi" is just a name HAruka-san made up.
[22:13] <Pinako> shambles
[22:14] <Mizunomics01> We won't know for sure until we can get our hands on their creator.
[22:14] <Mizunomics01> (I'd like to get my hands on them... and dissect their brain for every drop of knowledge... :r)
[22:15] <Mizunomics01> Please do let me know if we find out who that is.
[22:15] * Mizunomics01 bows and returns to work
[22:15] * Mizunomics01 is away 
[22:15] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...wow.
[22:15] <Monica> This is going to be a multi-stage project, no matter how we look at it. These things have to be manufactured somewhere..... if we could shut down that base of operations, it'd give us more wiggle room to work with.
[22:15] *** Reports come in of a subway train that has smashed into an obstacle that suddenly appeared on the tracks.
[22:15] <@Sakura X. Aino> I wonder why it suddenly decided to Kamikaze.
[22:16] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah that's a good call.
[22:16] <Pinako> :O
[22:16] <@Sakura X. Aino> Hopefully with the data I was able to record we might start to get some leads in that direction.
[22:16] <Pinako> Bullet train got smashed :O
[22:16] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Shoot!
[22:17] <@Sakura X. Aino> We need to get Liza back to sleep
[22:17] <@Sakura X. Aino> Where did she go?
[22:18] <Monica> .....does her suit have some kind of recall or "Danger-dodging" systen>
[22:18] <Monica> *system
[22:18] * @Sakura X. Aino checks the HOTEL scanners to see if she can pinpoint Liza
[22:18] <@Sakura X. Aino> There are remotes one can use but I don't want to shut her down if she's somewhere that would be unsafe for her.
[22:19] * @Sakura X. Aino looks to see if Intern had built a recall system in for the suit
[22:20] *** The suit's higher functions are disabled to stop hacking, if the *suit* has such a function, it won't work. The suit itself won't be able to help while its in limited mode to prevent sabotage. And of course, the sensors detect Liza Sunrise-Suminaka's suit underground, about 13 meters off of a subway track.
[22:21] <@Sakura X. Aino> Ayyyyy...
[22:21] * @Sakura X. Aino tries to get a transmat lock on it to beam it back here
[22:22] <Monica> ......wow, Nelius wasn't kidding about that crap-luck aura. (Then again, it did make Badru's lips loose, so....)
[22:23] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is being targeted by one of the most formidable people in this dimension, so it's very likely that she will eventually succeed.
[22:23] * @Sakura X. Aino does her best both of Liza's sake and everyone else's lol
[22:26] <Monica> Still, willing to bet those other knockoff-Senshi likely have similar brain-processes, if they're seeing literally everyone else aside from their group as Youma.
[22:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well I think I know why they're saying that.
[22:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> Most of humanity started off as a Genetic Engineering modification of the Atavistic creatures that were on Earth at the time
[22:28] <@Sakura X. Aino> That engineering was done by the people of the Moon
[22:29] <@Sakura X. Aino> So to the people of the Golden Crescent, who probably harbored some Anti-Earth sentiment to start with given the strained relations between the Earth and the Moon...
[22:29] <@Sakura X. Aino> Humns and Youma are pretty much the same thing.
[22:30] <Monica> I was more referring to how they'd mistake a demon of the Netherworld as one. Then again, they've likely never met demons before, so I could see how they'd make such a huge blunder.
[22:30] * @Sakura X. Aino gets Liza back - it looks like was hit by the train and knocked onto an underground natural gas tank that exploded
[22:30] <@Sakura X. Aino> Oh! I think she was insulting me.
[22:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> Because I kept making side comments
[22:32] * Matsumi Kaze is back
[22:32] * Matsumi Kaze walks back to the main part of the atrium
[22:33] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is unconscious when she arrives, though her body and the armorsuit have clearly suffered the impact from the train.
[22:33] <@Sakura X. Aino> Hi Aunt Mats
[22:33] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka keeps sleeping.
[22:33] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has quit IRC (Wish me luck!)
[22:34] * @Sakura X. Aino secures Liza carefully and will repair the suit tonight
[22:34] <Matsumi Kaze> hm? oh hey
[22:34] * Pinako hmm?..... huh?.... okay.
[22:35] <Pinako> *^
[22:35] <@Sakura X. Aino> You okay?
[22:35] <Matsumi Kaze> you did good, Sakura
[22:35] <Monica> Either way, it's about time for me to get on home. I got someone I need to visit.
[22:35] <Monica> Take care.
[22:36] *** Monica [CarnageShura@CarnageDimension.nw] has left #suburbansenshi2
[22:36] <@Sakura X. Aino> Night Monica!
[22:36] <@Sakura X. Aino> ..me? You're the one who knocked it out haha
[22:36] <@Sakura X. Aino> You were a tank today!
[22:37] <Matsumi Kaze> heh I was just along for the ride
[22:37] <Matsumi Kaze> you deserve the credit
[22:38] <@Sakura X. Aino> Credit Schmedit.
[22:38] <@Sakura X. Aino> That's not why we do what we do.
[22:38] <Matsumi Kaze> I know i know
[22:40] * @Sakura X. Aino relaxes on Venus sofa
[22:40] * Matsumi Kaze sits on the Q sofa
[22:40] <Matsumi Kaze> I'm really just here to help as best I can
[22:40] <Pinako> I think the other me wants to show herself to you? :O
[22:40] <Matsumi Kaze> I mean
[22:41] <Matsumi Kaze> and I think tonight was the extent I can do
[22:42] <@Sakura X. Aino> The other what now, Pinako?
[22:42] * Matsumi Kaze sits back..mostly talking to herself
[22:43] <Matsumi Kaze> in cases like this, I'm not as smart as Ami-chan.....I don't have the future know how you do....and I'm kind of crappy at investigative work like Ema does.....
[22:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Okay you're freaking Sailor Q
[22:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> This is kinda ridiculous
[22:45] <Matsumi Kaze> I know but in cases like this I'm not much use ^^;;
[22:45] <Pinako> other me! :O
[22:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> Who's "other me?"
[22:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> Okay so Aunt Mats
[22:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> You're kind of Like Sailor Moon before she got all drunk and metawhorical.
[22:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> You're a generalist. You're not a "trope"
[22:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> You're the lynchpin of hope, though!
[22:47] * Pinako raises her transformation pen
[22:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> As your moon rises or falls, so does everyone else's.
[22:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> You rally people around you.
[22:48] <Matsumi Kaze> huh you say something?
[22:48] * Matsumi Kaze was digging under the sofa for more ginger ale
[22:48] <@Sakura X. Aino> v_v
[22:49] <Matsumi Kaze> ..did..did i say something wrong?
[22:49] <Pinako> ♦ Moon Power Transformation, Make Up!
[22:50] * @Sakura X. Aino repeats what she said before
[22:51] <Matsumi Kaze> oh
[22:51] * Sailor Pinako , after a flash, stands right where Pinako herself just was, the crescent on her forehead shining.
[22:51] <@Sakura X. Aino> Oh cool! You have a henshin!
[22:52] * Matsumi Kaze pulls out the gunk from her pocket from eariler
[22:52] * Matsumi Kaze boredly looks at it
[22:53] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ thank you, I've been observing and listening to everything going on.
[22:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> Oh yeah?
[22:54] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ yes, I have, sadly, what affects her mind has also affected mine, whatever name is scrambled in her mind is also scrambled in mine.
[22:56] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ what is it that you took out?
[22:56] <@Sakura X. Aino> Took out? Do you mean the monster?
[22:57] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ no, what the gunk she's holding.
[22:58] <Matsumi Kaze> huh
[22:58] <Matsumi Kaze> ..oh something that splashed me
[22:58] <@Sakura X. Aino> That looks like a chunk of the Terrible-Senshi Shambles.
[22:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> We should probably preserve that, I think the other bits melted away
[23:01] * Matsumi Kaze grabs a tupper ware container from under the sofa and puts it in
[23:01] <Matsumi Kaze> ..it has a really weird air signature
[23:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> oh?
[23:02] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah it's......it has a weird feel to it.....
[23:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...weird
[23:03] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ how weird does it feel?
[23:05] * Matsumi Kaze tosses the container to Sakura
[23:06] <Matsumi Kaze> here
[23:06] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...I can't read air signatures lol
[23:07] <@Sakura X. Aino> But I'll check it out to see what might be odd
[23:07] * @Sakura X. Aino puts a piece of masking tape on top of the container and sharpies "NOT HOT DISH" on it
[23:08] * @Sakura X. Aino puts it away for now
[23:08] <Sailor Pinako> ...huh? oh sure.
[23:08] * Sailor Pinako approaches Matsumi.

[23:09] * Sailor Pinako tries giving a hug.
[23:09] * Matsumi Kaze isn't sure how to take it...
[23:12] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ you did real good, you may have given them a good break in whatever case is going on as well.
[23:17] <Matsumi Kaze> thanks?
[23:18] <Sailor Pinako> you're welcome.
[23:18] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ *^
[23:19] *** something like a lock unlocks in Pinako's mind (1/3)
[23:20] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ ... I feel something.
[23:24] * Sailor Pinako walks over to an evidence locker to "Profiles".

[23:30] * Sailor Pinako sees the names
Hayashi Kaito
Mizuki Aya
Yuki Sakuraba
Diana
"Khonshu"
and
$@*@^!#%.
[23:31] *** the last name is rendered like that in Pinako's mind, it should still read "Serenity" to anyone else.
[23:31] * Sailor Pinako can see a face she hasn't been able to before.
[23:32] * Sailor Pinako *^hasn't been able to see before
[23:32] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ The last photo... I think when Pinako and I saw it earlier, it was blurred to us.
[23:33] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ but... it's clear now.
[23:34] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ was it blurred to the both of you as well?
[23:36] <@Sakura X. Aino> Seems fine to me?
[23:41] <Sailor Pinako> no I mean, it was blurred to me and Pinako, and now we can see it clearly, as if something was unlocked.
[23:41] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ *^

[23:43] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ we still can't make out her name, but she seems very very familiar to me.
[23:44] * Matsumi Kaze has fallen asleep
[23:45] <@Sakura X. Aino> I gotta go finish patching up Liza'a suit, good luck with your memory unlocks
[23:45] * @Sakura X. Aino is away: working on it
[23:45] <Sailor Pinako> ♦ thank you both.
[09:41] *** Maeko Nakano [foreverhealer@fantastical.org] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[09:41] <@spiritflame> ohayo Maeko Nakano
[09:43] * Maeko Nakano exits the elevator, dressed for work. She's wearing slim, khaki pants, a long, thigh length, coral colored tunic blouse and a thin belt around her waist. Her very long, pale pink hair, is tied back in a long, sturdy braid tightly wound around the crown of her head.
[09:43] * Maeko Nakano yawns, tiredly rubbing some sleep out of her eye as she makes her way to the restaurant to get a light bite to eat and a drink to fuel the start to her day.
[09:46] * Maeko Nakano sits at a table after placing her order and scrolls through her social media Even with all of the nigh-unstopped healing she's been doing for over a week, she doesn't look all that haggard or ragged. Soem crows feet at the corner of her deep blue eyes and maybe light wrinkles around the corner of her mouth, but that's part of the norm of aging.
[09:49] * Maeko Nakano shakes her head, seeing how some of her friends/fellow satellite senshi are so big into social media culture and trying to be social influencers.
[09:49] * Maeko Nakano thanks the waitstaff as they bring her buttered toast with jam and her two soft boiled eggs and her passion fruit juice.
[09:52] * Maeko Nakano scoops open the top of the egg and dips her toast into her runny egg, enjoying watching some videos from her friends.
[09:54] * Maeko Nakano rolls her eyes and skips an add for Bubble Toy's new Spring Sale - five visits, get the sixth free.
[09:54] <Maeko Nakano> Nooo thank you, Satish.
[09:54] <Maeko Nakano> I may be single but I'm not that desperate.
[09:58] * Maeko Nakano watches in fascination at George Glass's latest glass-blowing demonstration. She scrolls to the next video and sees Mai Naomi posing in front of a Broadway marquee in NYC.
[09:59] <Maeko Nakano> Oh that's so cool!
[10:00] * Maeko Nakano sends a message to Mayu, *Did you see? That Jupiter Satellite Senshi, you know the one, the dancing one, Mai, she's going to be on Broadway!*
[10:01] * Maeko Nakano keeps scrolling as she finishes up eating her food.
[10:01] * Maeko Nakano puts her phone away, cutting off a video of Hex Girl Thorn and her daughter Lina, with her face blurred, singing and playing a duet together.
[10:02] * Maeko Nakano gets to her feet. She thanks the waitstaff and heads out of the restaurant.
[10:03] * Maeko Nakano checks herself one more time in the mirror before heading out in the mid-morning Tokyo day.
[10:05] * Maeko Nakano enjoys the warming spring breeze as she makes her way to the subway station.
[10:07] * Maeko Nakano listens to the birds chirping and people chatting as she waits for the train on the platform.
[10:09] * Maeko Nakano steps onto the train and takes a seat. She nods at the old lady sitting across from her. Maeko is glad she slept in and missed the morning rush, though since she always stays very late, that makes up for it.
[10:16] * Maeko Nakano gets up as the subway pulls into the Roppongi station. She exits the train with a few others and makes her way towards the the hospital.
[10:17] * Maeko Nakano turns the corner down the street and sees the usual crowd in front of the barricades set up, but 1) it isn't as large as usual and 2) they aren't as rowdy.
[10:17] * Maeko Nakano easily makes her way through. She can heared awed whispers about her as she passes by the congregants. She shows her credentials and is let in through the first series of baricades.
[10:18] * Maeko Nakano makes her way down the fenced corridor and into the entrance tent to be disinfected and scrub up for the day. She greets the healthcare workers whom she has come to know very well.
[10:18] * Maeko Nakano has moved to: [ Tent City ]
[10:19] * Maeko Nakano [Tent City] is told which part of the grid to work in and goes over. She relieves one of the workers there to work on bringing her patients and returning the ones she's worked on. Today's assignment: Gastrointestinal illnesses and issues.
[10:21] * Maeko Nakano [Tent City] makes sure to coat herself with a thin and invisible layer of healing power just to act as an extra barrier to any highly contagious stomach bugs. Those who can sense power/satellite senshi power/Saturnian power, might be feeling the faintest of glows eminating from the tent she is working on.
[10:26] * Maeko Nakano is away: Remember to pace myself. I'm in this for the long haul and don't want to run out any time soon.

[17:16] * Mizuki Aya , haggard, scared, dirty, and looking like she hasn't stept for days, finally makes her way to a dingy building in Akihabara
[17:17] * Mizuki Aya looks all atound her, paranoid that the Terrible-Senshi are out to get her. She scratches at her skin compulsively, in fear that some microscopic man might be crawling on her. Or that the people from the HOTEL are stalking her.
[17:18] * Mizuki Aya is haggard and aat her wits' end. Looking on her cellphone, she pulls up the Door code for a certain client.
[17:18] * Mizuki Aya punches it in on the intercom at the fromt of the building.
[17:18] * A voice answers, asking "What is thy passhphrase, seeker of the path?"
[17:19] * Mizuki Aya rolls her eyes
[17:19] <Mizuki Aya> Cut the chunni bulls[BLEEP]t please
[17:19] * "Nah-Ah-Ah! You didn't say the Passphrase!"
[17:19] <Mizuki Aya> ...
[17:20] * Mizuki Aya siiiiiighs
[17:20] <Mizuki Aya> "Eclipse Moon seeks parlay with the Lunarian Kolchak"
[17:21] * There's a buzzing sound, and the front door unlocks
[17:22] * "Lock it behind you, lest bothersome spirits tread your path and intrude, Milady."
[17:22] <Mizuki Aya> Trust me, I'm locking it.
[17:22] * Mizuki Aya goes throug the door and locks it.
[17:24] * Mizuki Aya goes up a flight of stairs in a dimly lit, old building, looking with fascination and irritation at the various runes and sigils for a ton of different cultures scrawled on the walls and various "seals" pasted to structural support beams and things.
[17:24] * Mizuki Aya finds the door she's looking for and sees the person she's there to visit.

[17:26] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] Thank god you're still okay.
[17:26] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] What's going on, Aya-san?
[17:26] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] ...Everything's gone crazy.
[17:27] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] I think KOHNSHU is f[BLEEP]king with us.
[17:27] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] ...What do you mean?
[17:28] * Mizuki Aya [Haruki's Studio] tells him everything about being stalked by the Terrible-senshi, her time at the HOTEL, her experience with Daniel and Ema Skye, and what happened to Chibiusa, and the fake Motoki and Haruka
[17:29] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] ...So that place *is_ real.
[17:29] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I knew it! I always knew it! HAHAHAHAHAH!
[17:29] * Tanaka Haruki [Haruki's studio] looks like a kid handed a Christmas present.
[17:29] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] None of my guests ever had all the info, but the traces of it were always at the edges of their stories, you know!
[17:30] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] you said Matsuo Shin was there! That's f[BLEEP]king amazing!
[17:30] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I've always wanted to talk to a real survivor of the ancient times, not just reincarnates like us.
[17:30] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] Yeah well...
[17:31] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] After the s[BLEEP]t they pulled I don't trust them anymore.
[17:31] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] You're the gadgetman. I...
[17:31] * Mizuki Aya [Haruki's Studio] looks like she wants to puke. "I need your help.
[17:31] * Tanaka Haruki [Haruki's studio] looks hurt
[17:31] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] ...
[17:32] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Look.
[17:32] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I know what you think about me.
[17:32] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] That I'm some old, overweight chuuni who cares more about 2D than 3D.
[17:33] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I can't help it I was born years earlier than you, okay? And that I don't have all the charm and "rizz" or whatever you kids call it these days.
[17:33] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] But I've always been straight with you. And never bothered you in any way.
[17:34] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I'm sorry if I f[BLEEP]king creep you out.

[17:35] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Because you told me something that makes me think you're right and Konshu is f[BLEEP]king with us.
[17:35] * Mizuki Aya [Haruki's Studio] perks up "What is it?"
[17:36] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] The Synthoids.
[17:36] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I was the one who made them for him.
[17:36] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] WHAT?!
[17:36] * Mizuki Aya [Haruki's Studio] gets up in a half-panic
[17:36] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Will you listen for a minute?
[17:36] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] He didn't tell me he was going to use them as spies.
[17:38] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] He said it was the fastest way to staff up Healing Haven with competent doctors who wouldn't spill the beans on The Great Healer or The Society.
[17:41] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] So You were the one who broke into the Mizunomics Factory and burned it down?
[17:41] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I broeke into it, sure, but I didn't burn it down.
[17:41] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] ..what's going on here?
[17:42] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I dunno.
[17:42] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] Do you know anything about the "Terrible-Senshi"?
[17:44] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] No, not really. Word om the street is they're some kind of mutants infused with "Dust" - a substance an offshoot of the Thule Society got their hands on and they were stashing tones of it in the DPRK.
[17:45] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] ...I need your help. They're after me. And one of them knew my name.
[17:45] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] And I need your help to protect me against being spied on, or crawled on by their Dollar Store Ant-Man.
[17:46] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Well this whole building is a huge Faraday Cage. That's why your keitai won't work here.
[17:46] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I have some relics around here that might be able to help you.
[17:47] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] Like... real relics, not s[BLEEP]t you bought at comiket?
[17:47] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] ...
[17:47] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Look I might call those toys "relics" but I'm not so far gone I can't tell the difference.
[17:47] * Tanaka Haruki [Haruki's studio] stands up and goes behind the desk he uses for podcasting and the radio show.
[17:48] * Tanaka Haruki [Haruki's studio] pulls on a book entitled "Gold of the Gods" by Erich von Daniken and his bookshelf slowly slides to the left, relvealing a hidden room.
[17:49] * Tanaka Haruki [Haruki's studio] has a giant walk in closet there that looks like the warehouse from Indiana Jones but in Miniature
[17:50] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] There are artifacts here from all over the ancient solar system, from the hidden alien enclaves in Akihabara, and from various warehouses owned by UNIT, Torchwood, Z-KAT and others.
[17:50] * Tanaka Haruki is away: Something here's got to be a good counter for their Ant-Man and those Terrible-Senshi
[17:51] * Mizuki Aya is away: Do you have room for a couch-surfer?
[18:11] * Mizuki Aya [Haruki's Studio] is trying to settle in but oh my god there's so much otaku crap in here
[18:11] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Be careful with my treasures :/
[18:12] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] I wish we knew what those HOTEL people were up to. I don't hink we'll be safe for long if they're looking for us.
[18:12] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] ... you. They're looking for you, remember?
[18:13] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] ...Well you always wanted to spend more time with me, so :P
[18:13] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] ...sorry, you're not MoonlitSeraph :P
[18:14] * Mizuki Aya [Haruki's Studio] frowns
[18:14] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] I'm worried, Haruki-san... what if Konshu does something to her.
[18:15] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Aya-san... if Konshu is up to no good... we may need to move up the timetable.
[18:16] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] If he knows what the HOTEL people know then he's surely thinking the same.
[18:16] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] Haruki-san, now that I'm out of there we have no clue what they're thinking...
[18:16] * Tanaka Haruki [Haruki's studio] laughs
[18:16] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Fair not, sweet maiden!
[18:17] * Tanaka Haruki [Haruki's studio] adjusts his glasses which shine brightly in the light
[18:17] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] Oh god not the chunni s[BLEEP]t again
[18:17] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] For I have still, in my posession a marvelous Secret weapon that will leave us privvy to their doings!
[18:20] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] You didn't even know if they were real for sure. How could you?
[18:21] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] I didn't know the HOTEL was real 100% but you know we all know about the Senshi and their friends.
[18:21] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] How else could we have known to make the Furuhata Synthoid?
[18:22] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] ...Are you saying you have more?
[18:22] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] ...I have more.
[18:23] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] They just need to be "activated" so they can report back. But the problem is if we do that they may report to Konshu and not me.
[18:23] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Konshu's the one who has the master control box.
[18:23] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] I thought a clever guy like you would have his own :P
[18:24] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] ...Of course I do! And don't think I fell for your flattery and blabbed that :P
[18:24] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] But the problem is as long as he has his mine won't work. It's a hierarchy of authority.
[18:25] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] So we may need to do the other thing.
[18:25] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] Push up the timetable.
[18:26] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Aya-san... your bad experience aside... are the HOTEL people all that bad? Surely as reincarnates like us they'd see the same things we do? Want the same things we'd want?
[18:27] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] They're not all reincarnates. And a lot of those who were seem to have been born under a lucky star. They're happy and content with their lives in the society of today.
[18:28] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] I tried to tell them. Tried to tell them how broken and f[BLEEP]ked up everything is. But I don't think they get it. Or they think they can just rely on "the system" to make things right.
[18:28] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] We can't count on them. In their eyes We're the evil ones. The ones they need to crush.
[18:29] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Then we might have to do it like you said.
[18:29] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] Only she can make our case.
[18:30] <Tanaka Haruki> [Haruki's studio] People will listen to her. And if they listen to her, even the reincarnates from the HOTEL wouldn't be able to lift a finger.
[18:30] <Mizuki Aya> [Haruki's Studio] But... how do we do it?
[18:31] * Tanaka Haruki is away: recent events in Roppongi give me an idea... but you're not going to like it.
[18:31] * Mizuki Aya is away: ...You're right... I don't... but... it's for the greater good.
[18:34] * At the HOTEL meantime...
[18:34] * Det. Ema Skye has Chibiusa and Vermellia out to GET THAT VAN so they can get Isabella Santorini medical help
[18:37] <@Sakura X. Aino> How you holdin' up, Ema?
[18:38] <Det. Ema Skye> Oh my god Sakura why aren't you in charge of this?!
[18:38] <Det. Ema Skye> Do you know how many times I've f[BLEEP]ked up already?
[18:38] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...None?
[18:38] <Det. Ema Skye> Simon Kerrick is on the lam!
[18:38] * @Sakura X. Aino shrugs
[18:39] <@Sakura X. Aino> If not you, someone else woulda found him, or he'd've figured some other way off the island.
[18:39] <@Sakura X. Aino> If you hadn't done what you did you and the others would probably be Lich food.
[18:40] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah but I should never have been in that position in the first place ><
[18:40] <@Sakura X. Aino> C'mon, you're up to it!
[18:40] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm just a police detective!
[18:41] <@Sakura X. Aino> Honey that ship sailed the first day you stepped foot in this place.
[18:42] <Det. Ema Skye> I can't hold my own against the likes of these guys, Sakura
[18:42] <@Sakura X. Aino> Please.
[18:42] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm just a regular person! I don't have super powers, I can't sense ki or spirit energy, I don't use magic...
[18:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yet you're still here.
[18:43] <Det. Ema Skye> Because everyone else saves my ass all the time
[18:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> That's not what I mean.
[18:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> You've stared into the face of unimaginable horror and evil and you. are. still. here.
[18:44] <@Sakura X. Aino> You didn't pack up and run screaming into the street never to return again.
[18:44] <Det. Ema Skye> ...I can't just look away.
[18:44] * @Sakura X. Aino snaps her fingers "And that's step one."
[18:45] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[18:45] <@Sakura X. Aino> Hey. You guys were able to crack the mystery of Kerrick's raft. Thanks to that at least we know he's still alive which is huge.
[18:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> And you guys were able to figure out we had a spy in here.
[18:46] <Det. Ema Skye> Daniel did that.
[18:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah but you pushed him in the right direction with your detective's instincts.
[18:47] <Det. Ema Skye> Still--
[18:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> Still nothin'.
[18:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> So you're not the "MC".
[18:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> So you're a "support" character, if we're abusing the metaphor.
[18:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> Without the "supports" the MC can't win.
[18:48] <@Sakura X. Aino> They're just as important in their own way.
[18:48] <Det. Ema Skye> ...I just don't want to be a liability or get anyone killed.
[18:48] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Like it or not those things happen.
[18:49] <@Sakura X. Aino> People have died helping me. And it never gets easier to take.
[18:49] <@Sakura X. Aino> But you have to weigh that against the cost of doing nothing and watching the world burn.
[18:49] * Det. Ema Skye noms a Snackoo in frustration
[18:50] <@Sakura X. Aino> You got this!
[18:50] * @Sakura X. Aino pats her on the shoulder and heads off having stolen a Snackoo at some point
[18:51] * Det. Ema Skye shakes her head and eats, pensive. (I hope so...)
[18:52] * Det. Ema Skye sits on a random sofa, thinking
[18:57] * Janice suddenly appears next to one of the arcade machines, frosty drink in-hand. "Heyo~"
