welcome to #suburbansenshi2

[12:53] <Lydia D. Darkletter> (( didn't see the reply ))
[12:54] <Lydia D. Darkletter> No, that's not it either.
[12:54] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I have a theory, if you'd like to hear it.
[12:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Well, my third theory was that your presence was surppressing it.
[12:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] You have said that this isn't true.
[12:54] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Not quite.
[12:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] That means that I must consider a fourth theory.
[12:54] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I suspect it's because of my realtionship to what you call "reality".
[12:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Which, I will admit, I don't have at this point.
[12:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Sorry, did you say something? I didn't hear you.
[12:55] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I've greed to not interfere with what's happening here so I can observe it.
[12:55] <Lydia D. Darkletter> ^agreed
[12:55] *** a red light turns on on Liza's headphones when she says I suspect it's because of my realtionship to what you call "reality"."
[12:56] <Lydia D. Darkletter> fasscinating that it should react to that!
[12:56] <Lydia D. Darkletter> oh, it was nothing~
[12:56] *** A red light turns on on Liza's headphones when Lydia says " I suspect it's because of my realtionship to what you call "reality"."
[12:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Of course. ^_^
[12:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] But you said you had a theory? ^_^
[12:56] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Maybe something unique to me is causing it to not react.
[12:56] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Passively, not actively.
[12:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] I have come up with a third theory!
[12:57] <Lydia D. Darkletter> What is it?
[12:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Er, fourth one. Sorry, I felt a little bleary for a moment, there.
[12:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Well, as you are aware---er, and as I assume, the local city of Tokyo is under dire crisis. There are frightful creatures wandering the streets, probably hurting people, the sky has turned the color close to oxygenated blood... it might be that what's going on is masking my presence. Of course, I cannot see or check for sure, so this is all hypothesis. But that's fine! ^_^
[12:58] <Lydia D. Darkletter> (( i chaim this log for the metafictional ones ))
[12:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Lots of things don't show up on my readouts or visor because they are classified, so I'm happy with not knowing for sure, it makes me sharper, and Chateaux wouldn't ever hide something from me that I'd need to know. ^_^
[12:59] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Masking your presence...? From the curse?
[12:59] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Are you implying its source is external to you?
[13:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Well, that depends on your definition of "external." My friends explained to me that the bad deeds and consequences that a certain person does are foisted onto me, and the worse that person behaves, the stronger my curse becomes, so in that sense, it's external... but no, I guess I should have said that ongoing diaster is masking the *effects.*
[13:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Turn on a chainsaw and snowblower near an airplane taking off, and who can tell?
[13:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] ....that would, POTENTIALLY, also explain why Chateaux thought it was wise to continue subjecting me to sensory deprivation.
[13:02] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Blackout] turns to Lydia, from the extremely puffy chair/sofa she's supported on. "Potentially."
[13:02] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Then the implication is that if this bad person were eliminated, so too would be your curse.
[13:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Oh yes! That's certainly a strong implication, but this person is EXTREMELY lucky, you see!
[13:03] * Lydia D. Darkletter certainly hopes the HOTEL is recordinf this because she can't leave a note for the investigators!
[13:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Boxing them in is incredibly difficult, and impossible escapes and odds-defying breaks are all-too-common when my Chateaux or friends seek to subdue them, you see.
[13:03] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Extreme luck is not, however, absolute luck.
[13:04] <Lydia D. Darkletter> And luck can be a double-edged sword.
[13:04] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Someone clever enough could turn it against itself.
[13:04] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Sometimes the luckiest outcome is not the most advantangeous one.
[13:05] <Lydia D. Darkletter> From a certain point of view.
[13:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] It's true. I'm sure they are working on it. I do think Honestly, I think that this person's lucky escapes wouldn't phase them, except they may--I say may, I dont' recall them telling me this, but it might very well be that they noticed a statistically significant increase in bad things happening to me the more lucky escapes this person had.
[13:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Er, so yes, I should have said that the disaster was making the effect, not my presence. False positives, after all.
[13:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] And, MAYBE, POTENTIALLY, that's why I'm in sensory deprivation right now.
[13:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] ....but that implies that the effects of the curse are linked to things in my perception...
[13:08] <Lydia D. Darkletter> so...
[13:08] <Lydia D. Darkletter> experiment then
[13:08] <Lydia D. Darkletter> if you are Awake but completely sense deprived
[13:08] <Lydia D. Darkletter> let's say something bad starts, and then you go into sensory deprivation
[13:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Actually, I undergo those experiments very frequently!
[13:08] <Lydia D. Darkletter> does it stop?
[13:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Well, the sensory deprivation sessions are for practicing navigation and orienteering in case of a hazardous condition or teleport. Or mundane problems, like getting a thick layer of irradiated thallium splattered across my helmet visor when the systems are too busy handling internal injuries to clear it off immediately.
[13:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] That's not the only reason I undergo sensory deprivation, of course. Sensory deprivation enhances suggestibility, after all. ^_^
[13:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] And it's relaxing. Even when I'm not having medication administered, or undergoing Chateaux's psychological conditioning, I sometimes request sensory deprivation.
[13:12] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] So it's funny you should mention those experiments. I go into sensory deprivation a lot, but Chateaux never said it was for that reason you mentioned---at least I dont' remember it. But my memory is not perfect, after all. ^_^
[13:12] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Well you had speculated the incidents might be linked to your perception. So it might be interesting to see if you cut perception but stayed awake if they would contineu.
[13:12] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] I'm sure that if Chateaux wants to test that, she will.
[13:13] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Of course.
[13:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Not every test is under my control, after all, and some controls and health readouts are classified, don't show up, or inaccessible to me for safety reasons. It's a very good idea, when you really think about it. ^_^
[13:14] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I can see the reasoning!
[13:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Sure! I mean, most people wouldn't have to worry about tripping on a specific shape that activates a dangerous system, or having the input buttons be hit by flying debris that unluckily matches a complicated access code. ^_^
[13:15] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] But, for all that, I hope the person you spoke to about me didn't say I'm COMPLETELY unlucky. In some ways, I'm the luckiest person in this world.
[13:16] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Hmmm, if I remember this conversation, I'll have to work on that theory...
[13:16] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I'm sure your suit will.
[13:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] She takes good care of me. ^_^
[13:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] I might have been separated from my Chateaux, but I was delivered to another one who is super-caring and super-kind to me, and she is inside here with me and provides all that I need to stay happy and safe. I'm lucky to be standing here at all. The curse is nothing, I'm sure those who love me will come through. ^_^
[13:18] <Lydia D. Darkletter> That is a beautiful sentiment~
[13:19] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] That's because I have a beautiful life. ^_^
[13:20] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Well, if it's okay with you, and you don't have other questions, I might want to continue my navigation training, and practice finding my way around here unable to see. It might also be time for a nice nap soon. Is there any other way I can help you?
[13:21] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Blackout] is slooowly drawn to her feet by the suit's systems, though her direction doesn't change.
[13:21] <Lydia D. Darkletter> No, you've been very generous with your time, thank you!
[13:21] <Lydia D. Darkletter> It's been a pleasant discussion.
[13:21] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] I try to be generous with everything. I have so much, after all. Please have a great day! ^_^
[13:21] <Lydia D. Darkletter> You as well!
[13:22] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Blackout] slowly wanders off into the Atrium, blindly groping around.
[13:22] <spiritflame> Liza Sunrise-Suminaka rolls 3d6 [ 5, 6, 6 ]
[13:23] <Lydia D. Darkletter> (Her reality... what an interesting concept for someone to explore...)
[13:23] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Blackout] occasionally totally destroys things as she gets misdirected, and eventually steps into the single spot of the fountain that opens up to the cavernous water-filled chamber where the life-sized Titanic Lego replica is stored.
[13:23] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Blackout] immediately drops out of sight, into hundreds of feet of water.
[13:23] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has quit IRC (Wish me luck!)

[15:01] <Lydia D. Darkletter> [Los Santos] This is obviously America.
[15:02] * There a map of the state nearby, and the first thing you can tell... is that not only is there water to the east and to the west of the state... but also to the North and the South.... and yet, it does NOT look like any of the hawaiian islands.

[15:18] <Lydia D. Darkletter> [Los Santos] What a strange little Galapagos this is
[15:24] * A Very strange one indeed, and there's a listing of other places in the country with this kind of atmosphere nearby.
[15:24] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] idly takes a look around
[15:32] * In the center of the city, there's a central location of skyscrapers, soem of which look like they haven't been finished since 2013.
[15:33] <Lydia D. Darkletter> [Los Santos] (Is this New Jersey?)
[15:37] * On the underpass of a freeway, there is a carved otu tunnel, big enough for a car to fit through.
[15:39] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] wanders through this tunnel
[15:41] * The tunnel has an immeadiate drop... in you fofr forward, but there is a left path that goes down, almost like dirt scaffolding.
[15:43] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] uses her umbrella to mary poppins her drop, and then chooses the left path.
[15:47] * The Drop and the left path led to the same place, but there is a makeshift tunnel up ahead.
[15:48] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] investigates
[15:49] *** SYSTEM ANNOUNCE - Main Page updated with entry # 2678 - Suburban Senshi: It's 24 but without Kevin Costner but with the Waterboarding ***
[15:50] * The tunnel leads down a long path, right to the Tracks for the metro line... and all around you when you get there, is an unfinished construction of a Would-Have-Been-Brand-New Metro Line Stop
[15:52] <Lydia D. Darkletter> [Los Santos] (This is the perfect setting for a drug deal or a crminal headquarters)
[15:54] * The perfect setting, one so perfect, 13 year old tire tracks can be seen darting thorugh to a tunnel on the other side.
[15:57] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] investigates said tunnel
[15:58] * The other tunnel is dirt for the first part of it, and then leads to something akin to a disused underground aqueduct.
[16:01] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] wanders the aqueduct
[16:08] * The Aquedust goes a long way, splits into two, only to recombine, and soon it goes... uphill?

[16:16] <Lydia D. Darkletter> [Los Santos] (that's more like it)
[16:17] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] walks over to where this person is landing. She's moving at a relaxed pace completely at odds with the excitement of the scene
[16:19] * The mute Person lands right behind Lydia, takes a look around... and pulls out a Minigun from Hyperspace... and the Mionigun is really.. an Oxymoronic weapon.
[16:20] <Lydia D. Darkletter> [Los Santos] ohh~?
[16:22] * The mute Person tilts it up, and shoots it at the oncoming LSPD cars.

[16:29] <Lydia D. Darkletter> [Los Santos] Oh my!
[16:30] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] looks to see if the blown up ones might have left a scanner behind?
[16:30] * One of the blown up cars do have a scanner, but it's mostly burnt, but still usable.
[16:31] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] collects it
[16:31] * Lydia D. Darkletter [Los Santos] attempts to scan the mute person

[18:42] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Thank you!
[18:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Do you mind if I ask you a specific question about what we were speaking about, at least as I recall it? Please?
[18:42] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Please, go ahead!
[18:43] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Er, you said that Chateaux was offline at this time, but, I think, that her most basic autonomous systems were working?
[18:43] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Is that right?
[18:44] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Yes
[18:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....I see. Then my duty is clear.
[18:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> The support structures for the people who went to Antarctica will have to be double-checked, room and board will have to be prepared in case they rescued people or had foes surrender to them, and, probably most importantly, Chateaux's ward's systems will have to be updated and checked.
[18:46] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka thinks, nodding to herself. "There may be more."
[18:47] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I should probably make sure there are secondary power sources charged up, as well...
[18:47] * Lydia D. Darkletter nods
[18:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It's fine, this is honestly not very surprising. Unlucky perhaps, but not surprising.
[18:49] <spiritflame> Lydia D. Darkletter rolls 1d20 for permission to advise [ 15 ]
[18:50] <Lydia D. Darkletter> If I were you, I wouldn't integrate too deeply with the HOTEL to do these things.
[18:50] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmm? What do you mean?
[18:51] <Lydia D. Darkletter> the reason Chateaux was offlined was to prevent the Eldritch corruption in this region from infecting her.
[18:51] <Lydia D. Darkletter> It was already starting to affect her data cores.
[18:51] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmmmmmmmmm.......
[18:51] <Lydia D. Darkletter> If you similarly integrate with the structure, and corruption inmpacts it, you run the very real risk of corruption even your suit may not be able to compensate for.
[18:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm, certainly in no position to judge Chateaux, but of course I'm aware that my Think Tank's systems are isolated from the TARDIS systems for good reason.
[18:52] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Right, but to assume her role in the manner you're contempating might lead you to try and lessen that isolation.
[18:53] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I did suspect that there were problems with Chateaux. I still suspect they are more likely caused by the great strain she was under, but I suppose I have noticed that things have been escalating lately.
[18:53] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Such is the nature of the Narrative
[18:53] <Lydia D. Darkletter> there are ebbs and then there are flows.
[18:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> For example, it's very strange that a TARDIS would need to have degenerate matter explained to them, but she had a bit of a hiccup there, and she lost the thread when I was trying to explain about the biological reaction her appearance would have in those who were of similar species to her avatar's apperance.
[18:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> But in the last... hmmm, I think it was last night, I mentioned that her ward---a woman named Eliza, might need help, and she didn't respond.
[18:55] <Lydia D. Darkletter> She is capable of being distracted, or she just has faith in her own handiwork.
[18:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'll have to check her first, because her systems might not be ready for a months-long sojourn in a replacement body, especially with the TARDIS systems so strained, and it being her organic body's first time.
[18:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, you don't need to explain to me about a TARDIS being distracted---I was raised and cared for by one since I was quite young. I do appreciate your assurances, though, but I do think I'm going to have to start taking action to safeguard the expedition, much in mission, though not in method, as I'd do when I was home. ^_^
[18:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, as I said, it was lovely speaking to you again, and seeing you for the first time. I'd better set up to go prepare for the group's return, since Chateaux won't be able to perform that task.
[19:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I...truly appreciate your telling me that she's okay. Thank you.
[19:00] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka fiddles with a control knob on her wrist.
[19:01] <Lydia D. Darkletter> You're welcome
[19:01] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka waves goodbye to Lydia, and then presses a button on her wrist.
[19:01] * Lydia D. Darkletter waves back
[19:02] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka doesn't go anywhere, and looks confused.
[19:02] <Lydia D. Darkletter> ...something wrong?
[19:02] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I cannot tell. The process was rerouted and is marked "classified."
[19:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That does happen sometimes, but I'm sure it's nothing to be worried about. ^_^
[19:04] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's visor starts to darken.
[19:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmm?
[19:05] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks over her shoulder suddenly, and when she returns, her visor is as blacked out as a blindfold.
[19:05] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved to: [ Blackout ]
[19:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] Hmmm, well, am I recording? I cannot see that, either. Odd.
[19:06] <Lydia D. Darkletter> ...
[19:06] <Lydia D. Darkletter> is it possible your suit is malfunctioning?
[19:07] *** a red light on Liza's headphones appears, but disappears when Lydia speaks. "Oh, I just heard you. There was some static there. No, I am very confident there's no malfunction. Sometimes the readouts are classified from me because it's important for me not to see them.
[19:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Blackout] There's no reason to worry. It is probably an impromptu test or training, or preparation for something. It's all fine. I'm not worried. In fact, I feel really, really relaxed. ^_^
[19:09] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved to: [ Sensory Deprivation ]
[19:11] *** A keypad and buttons appear on Liza's armorsuit, which extends to easy reach of Lydia D. Darkletter, and it has labels next to options that says "Remember," "Forget," "Forget Interaction, Remember Advice/Directives," and "No Directive Given."
[19:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Sensory Deprivation] ♫
[19:11] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Sensory Deprivation] 's suit has the "No Directive Given" option highlighted, and counting down.
[19:12] <spiritflame> Lydia D. Darkletter rolls 1d20 for permission to intervene [ 6 ]
[19:12] * Lydia D. Darkletter doesn't touch anything
[19:13] *** The highlighted No Direction Given" counts down, counts down, and finally flashes, then the keypad is subsumed back into the armorsuit.
[19:14] <spiritflame> Liza Sunrise-Suminaka rolls 3d6 [ 3, 3, 1 ]
[19:14] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved back to the Atrium
[19:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, that was lovely! ^_^
[19:15] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Fortunately, Chateaux is very helpful in working with me to create and prioritize lists of action, so I'm ready to start now! I feel really refreshed, too. ^_^
[19:15] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Thanks again, very much, for speaking to me! It was nice to converse with you, Lydia. Please let me know if you need anything while Chateaux is out, okay?
[19:16] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I will!
[19:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And, OF COURSE, if I'm unconscious, because I've had a rest period scheduled, or am napping, or am in the middle of a hypnotherapy session, I'm sure that the Think Tank can help you instead. ^_^
[19:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Bye bye!
[19:17] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka heads out of the room, tracing a holographic direction overlay to the EMH area.
[19:17] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Good-bye!
[19:17] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is away 
[19:38] <Vainamoinen> such a fascinating tale, isn't it ^_^
[19:38] *** Vainamoinen has joined #suburbansenshi2
[19:38] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Vainamoinen
[19:38] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Indeed~
[19:38] <Lydia D. Darkletter> It's very interesting to experience~
[19:38] * Vainamoinen is looking out through the windows
[19:39] <Vainamoinen> I do wonder how it will end..with wonder..or terror
[19:39] <Lydia D. Darkletter> As they like to say here... "yes".
[19:41] * Vainamoinen gives a simple smile
[19:41] * Lydia D. Darkletter smiles back
[19:45] * Lydia D. Darkletter leans back
[19:45] <Lydia D. Darkletter> What do you think of it all?
[19:53] <Vainamoinen> passiable.....certainly a tale that hasn't been very much explored in this space
[19:54] <Lydia D. Darkletter> It very much hasn't!
[19:57] <Vainamoinen> though I think..perhaps it is a tad one sided
[20:00] <Lydia D. Darkletter> You think so?
[20:01] <Lydia D. Darkletter> A pendulum must first swing one way before it can swing the other.
[20:02] <Vainamoinen> we shall see
[20:02] <Vainamoinen> the writer seems less then sure
[20:03] <Lydia D. Darkletter> The writer worries too much. All is ebbs and flows.
[20:04] <Lydia D. Darkletter> The Narrative will advance. It always does.
[20:07] <Vainamoinen> naturally!
[20:17] <Lydia D. Darkletter> I do look forward to seeing What Will Be Written.
[20:24] * Lydia D. Darkletter takes a moment to rewrite her wiki entry
[20:25] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Some of this is outdated~
[20:28] <Vainamoinen> mmmm *looks over Lydia's shoulder*..fascinating
[20:30] <Lydia D. Darkletter> You think so?
[20:34] <Vainamoinen> mmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmm
[20:44] <Lydia D. Darkletter> What have you been up to in the time since we last met?
[20:48] <Vainamoinen> hm
[20:48] <Vainamoinen> can you define it as anything?
[20:50] <Lydia D. Darkletter> It all depends upon your point of view!
[21:13] * Vainamoinen just smiles
[21:35] * Lydia D. Darkletter idly picks and pokes at parts of the strium, Ema still asleep
[21:36] <Lydia D. Darkletter> ^atrium
[21:39] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Anesthetized] appears, holding folded white sheets. "Hello, did you need something?"
[21:40] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved back to the Atrium
[21:40] <Lydia D. Darkletter> Oh, just enjoying the surroudings~
[21:40] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Ah, very well. I'm going to go back to preparing the hospital beds, and work on Ms. Eliza's mental support structure.
[21:40] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is away 
[21:41] * Vainamoinen is away 
[21:41] * Lydia D. Darkletter waves

[21:41] * Lydia D. Darkletter hops on a railing by one of the streams and plays a fishing game with the koi that doesn't hurt them if they catch the bait
[21:41] * Lydia D. Darkletter is suddenly Not There
[21:42] <Det. Ema Skye> /squwak ugh
[21:42] * Det. Ema Skye wakes up
[21:42] <Det. Ema Skye> Hi Voyag... when did it get dark out?
[21:42] <Det. Ema Skye> I must've been really tired.
[21:45] <The Voyager> mm...I think we both fell asleep
[21:51] <The Voyager> ugh...
[21:54] <Det. Ema Skye> I've been tryig to work out the safest path to Mugen
[22:00] <The Voyager> any luck?
[22:02] * The Voyager is tracking the rocket that was heading to the moon
[22:04] <The Voyager> still on it's way...
[22:06] <Det. Ema Skye> I think so
[22:06] * Det. Ema Skye shows her the route she was able to plot
[22:06] <Det. Ema Skye> and what is that rocket doing...
[22:07] <The Voyager> I manage to trace it from who launched it
[22:08] <The Voyager> ..or at least what group did
[22:10] <Det. Ema Skye> Lemme Guess. the British rocket Group?
[22:10] <The Voyager> how did you know?
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> That name Quatermass rang a bell
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> so I looked up the Torchwood Archives
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> And there was a Progessor Qatermass involved witht he BRG back in the 60s
[22:12] <The Voyager> Progressor?
[22:13] <Det. Ema Skye> ..professor
[22:14] <The Voyager> yes exactly
[22:17] <The Voyager> ..I don't know why they're doing this
[22:18] <Det. Ema Skye> Well we know the moon palace is on the moon.
[22:18] <Det. Ema Skye> Could there be something there?
[22:21] <The Voyager> perhaps...it is possible
[22:24] <The Voyager> we'll need volunteers for this rescue...
[22:25] <Det. Ema Skye> it might have to be all hanads on deck
[22:32] <The Voyager> ....we have so few left
[22:35] <Det. Ema Skye> ...yeah
[22:40] <The Voyager> .....we can't fail
[22:43] <Det. Ema Skye> Can you use the HOTEL scanners to snoop on that rocket? Maybe project its landing path?
[22:44] <The Voyager> I can try
[22:44] * The Voyager starts to work on it
[22:46] * Det. Ema Skye watches her work
[22:50] <The Voyager> ...going by it.......
[22:50] <The Voyager> ..that's odd
[22:50] <Det. Ema Skye> huh?
[22:54] <Det. Ema Skye> What is it?
[22:55] <The Voyager> ..it's not landing near the moon palace..according to this
[22:55] <Det. Ema Skye> Where's it going?
[22:57] <The Voyager> no where near it....
[22:59] <Det. Ema Skye> Where where is is going?
[22:59] <Det. Ema Skye> ^is it
[23:08] * The Voyager brings up an image on the screen.....the marking on the moon is..way off the mark from the moon palace
[23:08] <Det. Ema Skye> What's there? Can we zoom and enhance that location? Maybe scan it?
[23:09] * Det. Ema Skye tries searching the Torchwood archives to see if the British Rocket Group had any previous missions to that part of the moon
[23:10] *** they hadn't
[23:11] <The Voyager> as far as I can tell there's nothing there
[23:11] <Det. Ema Skye> The moon always face the earth....
[23:11] <Det. Ema Skye> does their destination point ot anything on Earth
[23:18] <The Voyager> .....no...i don't think so
[23:18] <The Voyager> ...but it does point to something else
[23:19] <Det. Ema Skye> To what?
[23:19] <Det. Ema Skye> That creature in the sky?
[23:20] <The Voyager> yes
[23:20] <The Voyager> to Ghroth
[23:20] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[23:20] <Det. Ema Skye> They must be planning to do something about it.
[23:23] <Det. Ema Skye> We're in no position to help but we should keep an eye on what they do
[23:23] <Det. Ema Skye> it might give us some clues on what We can do assuming it works out.
[23:24] <Det. Ema Skye> Assuming we don't handle our end first.
[23:24] * The Voyager nods
[23:29] <The Voyager> ..we can only hope
[23:31] <Det. Ema Skye> well, we can do more than that, we can focus on what we can do here on our side
[23:33] <The Voyager> well for now..we need to prepare for this rescue..............and find a way to be protected from attack
[23:34] <Det. Ema Skye> Okay, sounds good... any idea on protection?
[23:36] <The Voyager> ........
[23:36] * The Voyager looks..uncomfortable with what she's going to say
[23:38] <Det. Ema Skye> Just say it.
[23:38] <The Voyager> ...there is a possability
[23:38] * The Voyager walks over to the white board....and points to the symbols they had been decipering
[23:38] <The Voyager> we use these
[23:39] <Det. Ema Skye> Do you know how?
[23:40] <The Voyager> there's....(ugh) an old belief in the use of signets placed upon the skin to protect or add power
[23:40] <The Voyager> ...we could..in theory use that
[23:40] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Paisley Peinforte does that.
[23:40] <Det. Ema Skye> She has sigils tatooed on her
[23:41] <Det. Ema Skye> you might be onto something.
[23:41] <The Voyager> we just need to figure out which of these symbols we can use
[23:42] <Det. Ema Skye> which means... we need someone to go out there and test them while facing the creatures.
[23:42] <The Voyager> ..yes
[23:43] * Det. Ema Skye winces
[23:43] <Det. Ema Skye> how many sigils would we need to test?
[23:46] <The Voyager> well i have the narrow them down first
[23:46] <Det. Ema Skye> okay
[23:47] <The Voyager> ...at most maybe ten..but I still have to figure it out
[23:58] * Det. Ema Skye nods
[23:58] *** The Voyager has left #suburbansenshi2 (for now..research)
[23:59] * Det. Ema Skye is away: working

[20:11] * Megan Smithson and the other moms are sprawled on the floor in another room, fast asleep
[20:47] * Det. Ema Skye is still working on the raid plan
[20:48] * The Voyager is just trying to put togther notes
[20:59] * The Voyager eats a doughnut
[20:59] * Det. Ema Skye shares some snackoos
[21:08] <The Voyager> thank you
[21:09] * The Voyager looks in a low mood
[21:09] <Det. Ema Skye> Stress getting to you?
[21:10] <The Voyager> ..yes..yes it is
[21:11] <Det. Ema Skye> I hear that.
[21:24] * Det. Ema Skye tries to help her
[21:25] <The Voyager> thank you
[21:29] <Det. Ema Skye> you're welcome :)
[21:33] <The Voyager> ..I haven't yet found anyone to go on our mission
[21:37] <Det. Ema Skye> We could get Sakura April
[21:39] <The Voyager> is she repaired now?
[21:40] <Det. Ema Skye> I think so.
[21:59] <The Voyager> we should reach out to others
[22:00] <Det. Ema Skye> Who did you have in mind?
[22:03] <The Voyager> ..I don't know...yet

[22:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hi.
[22:09] <Det. Ema Skye> Hey Henry
[22:11] <Henry Dorsett Charon> How are things?
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> A little dire, to be honest
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> We need to get MAtsumi back from Mugen Academy, but apparently something's happened to her and we're understaffed.
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> The ricket we detected heading for the moon looks like it's a separate mission from the British Rocket Group. It looks like they're going to attack that thing in the sky.
[22:13] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Good luck to them.)
[22:15] <Det. Ema Skye> and Chateaux is offline as the eldritch corruption that's been going on outside was starting to creep into her systems
[22:16] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Well, that blows.
[22:20] <Det. Ema Skye> ...yeah
[22:20] <The Voyager> it does yes
[22:26] *** Amagi AI has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:26] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Amagi AI
[22:26] <Amagi AI> ♦ May I assist in trying to purge Chateaux of that corruption?
[22:28] <Det. Ema Skye> Voayger, what do you think?
[22:29] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Let the AI do it.)
[22:29] <Amagi AI> ♦ Scrapcode and Chaos-infected computer codes are not unheard of where I come from. Some of the methods used to cleanse Imperial and Mechanicus cogitator systems and logic engines MIGHT work here.
[22:29] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm not so sure it's as simple as a cleaning, I think she was offlined to keep her from getting corrupted
[22:30] <The Voyager> yes
[22:30] <Amagi AI> ♦ And according to my own records of this place, there was a time when the HOTEL's core systems were breaking down. The efforts of the Federation's Enginseers and Tech-mages actually slowed down the rate of decay.
[22:31] <Amagi AI> ♦ Regardless, there may be ways to help reinforce her code to prevent Eldritch corruption.
[22:33] <The Voyager> you can try....
[22:33] * The Voyager hands it over
[22:35] * Det. Ema Skye watches Voyaher hand over Chateaux's core
[22:35] * Amagi AI summons the Federation Tech-mages and Enginseers already present in the HOTEL and sends them specific orders. Hexagrammic wards and sanctified Marks of Numistic Purity are to be placed on as many of Chateaux's processors as can be found.
[22:36] * The Voyager watches
[22:36] * Amagi AI sends the order to have Chateaux's core placed inside multiple layers of hexagrammic and pentagrammic wards, with sanctified machine oils and scrolls of Numistic Purity placed on all of the core's surfaces.
[22:39] *** Spells of "Upgrade Computer" are cast on the core. It may not make her immune to corruption, but it should hopefully increase her ability to resist the corruption a bit.
[22:41] *** Enginseers surround Chateaux's core on all sides, beginning a vigil and continuously chanting in binaric code to drive back any and all corruptive influences and data-gheists.
[22:44] *** Roll 1d10
[22:44] *** Tech-mages start casting a series of "Schematic" spells to learn more about Chateaux, updating them regularly in order to track any deviations that might indicate damage or problems. "Animate Machine" spells conjure up possessing machine-spirits which will be used to act as decoys and sacrificial pawns to protect Chateaux's systems.
[22:44] <spiritflame> Amagi AI rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[22:47] *** the power that is infecting is old...OLDER then your system spells have encountered
[22:47] *** the codes feel..wrong...alien even by your standards
[22:49] * Amagi AI keeps on it. Just because it's older doesn't mean she's helpless. The Tech-mages and Enginseers need only to persist and adapt., especially now that they have more data and have met resistance.
[22:50] <Amagi AI> ♦ This will take time to adjust and optimize our response. This corruption is providing me with an interesting problem to overcome.
[22:53] * Amagi AI cross-references the data she's gotten with everything within her Librarium and Xeno-Archives. Psychic-processor systems based on Eldar designed and poly-dimensional computation engines based on Necron tech will now be brought online, as well as the famously adaptive Info-Drones of the Tanar'ri.
[22:53] <Amagi AI> ♦ I will stay on this for as long as you wish me to.
[22:54] *** it looks like you've made some progress!!! the corruption seems to be retreating
[22:54] <Amagi AI> ♦ If the Hotel has the capacity to raise Anti-Endritch Shields around itself, I recommend activating them.
[22:55] * The Voyager looks to Ema
[22:56] <Amagi AI> ♦ The corruption seems to be retracting, but we will stay on it.
[22:56] <Det. Ema Skye> Looks like they're able to help - maybe we should also bring up the raid?
[22:56] <Amagi AI> ♦ Wait...is there a way you can connect the HOTEL to the Ark Mechanicus?
[22:57] * Det. Ema Skye looks to Voyager
[22:57] <The Voyager> we're going to try and rescue Matsumi
[22:58] <Amagi AI> ♦ Your Timey-Whimy, Spacey-Wacey Things. If you're able to make the HOTEL coexist partially within my main vessel, I might be able to extend my Gellar Field around the HOTEL to prevent any reality-warping.
[22:58] <Amagi AI> ♦ A rescue mission? I can certainly provide help and supplies. What would you require?
[23:01] <The Voyager> we just need to have someone come along
[23:01] <The Voyager> WITHOUT the murder-bot tendencies
[23:02] * psYchO_saKi sneezes, somewhere
[23:05] <The Voyager> this isn't just simply....corruption
[23:05] <The Voyager> there's more to it then that
[23:07] <Amagi AI> ♦ Have you attempted to enlist the Governor-Militant for your mission?
[23:08] <Amagi AI> ♦ Contact him since he's certainly qualified, and I will FINALLY be able to deliver my message to him.
[23:09] <The Voyager> .....I have no way to contact him?
[23:10] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah if you can't, how can we?
[23:12] <Amagi AI> ♦ His Familiar Aratasujou and his children frequently visit here, do they not?
[23:12] <The Voyager> .....
[23:12] <Amagi AI> ♦ Send a Prinny-gram to deliver a message.
[23:12] <The Voyager> since the incident i'm not sure if i've seen them
[23:13] * Det. Ema Skye looks to see if she can find a Prinny
[23:13] <Amagi AI> ♦ Or contact any of the T-Dolls of G&K or Sangvis Ferri.
[23:14] <Amagi AI> ♦ Or...you could go all out and request that Eisenblut find Vater.
[23:14] <The Voyager> ....
[23:17] <The Voyager> >_.
[23:17] <The Voyager> >_>
[23:18] <Amagi AI> ♦ In the meantime, I will focus on optimizing the protective efforts for Chateaux. It seems to be working, but I won't relax just yet.
[23:19] * Amagi AI is away: "No, do NOT use the Rite of Activation on Chateaux's core. She doesn't need the Ritual Whack against her casing either."
[23:23] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[23:23] <Det. Ema Skye> is this gonna be all right?
[23:28] <The Voyager> ..I don't know
[23:45] <The Voyager> ugh just more stress
[23:48] <Det. Ema Skye> What's the status of the Brits?
[23:49] * The Voyager checks
[23:49] <The Voyager> ..still on their way
[23:51] <Det. Ema Skye> I keep forgetting how massive the distance is between the Earth and the Moon
[23:53] <The Voyager> yes..even with your technology nowadays..it would take 3 to 4 days
[23:58] <Det. Ema Skye> About how long do you think is left before they make moonfall?
[00:13] <The Voyager> another day I'd say
[00:18] * The Voyager is away: goes back to researching
[00:19] * Det. Ema Skye too
[00:29] * luna_P pHl0475 4r0und [/me floats around]
[00:30] * luna_P lick5 Hi5 cH0p5 [/me licks his chops]
[01:35] * Lydia D. Darkletter passes by the ball as it eats a random eldritch creature
[02:56] * Lydia D. Darkletter is away 
[20:30] * A random gift arrives magically on Paisley's Divan. Inside the gift bag is GLAZED DONUT FLAVORED EDIBLE MASAGE OIL
[20:30] * Det. Ema Skye has no idea how it got there but sets it aside for delivery when everyone gets back from...wheerecer
[21:52] * The Voyager pauses in her work
[21:52] <Det. Ema Skye> Hey
[22:02] <The Voyager> ....we can't do this
[22:02] <Det. Ema Skye> What do you mean?
[22:03] <The Voyager> ...we can't reveal any of this information.....
[22:03] <The Voyager> not to her
[22:03] <Det. Ema Skye> her who? Matsumi?
[22:05] <The Voyager> ..if we do....it might destroy everything she knows about herself
[22:07] <Det. Ema Skye> Well, don't worry about it.
[22:07] <Det. Ema Skye> /,me holds up a small bottle
[22:07] <Det. Ema Skye> This is a drug called "retcon"
[22:07] <Det. Ema Skye> Torchwood used to use it a lot
[22:07] <Det. Ema Skye> We slip her a carefully controlled dose of this, she won't remember a thing.
[22:08] <The Voyager> but is that right too?
[22:08] <The Voyager> what if we need her?
[22:08] * The Voyager runs her hands through her hair in frustration
[22:09] <Det. Ema Skye> Then...
[22:09] <Det. Ema Skye> we'll have to help her through it.
[22:19] * The Voyager goes back to work..deep in thought
[22:25] * Det. Ema Skye helps where she can
[22:31] * The Voyager notices the rocket should be reaching tomorrow
[22:36] <Det. Ema Skye> I hope they can succeed in whatever their plan is
[22:44] <The Voyager> I'm making a list of people that are potentially useful for us
[22:49] * Det. Ema Skye takes a look
[22:54] * The Voyager has written Solar (relucently), Megan O'Cain, Haru or Raoul.....other possabilities as well
[23:01] <Det. Ema Skye> That's a good list
[23:03] <The Voyager> doing my best
[23:11] * The Voyager is feeling the draining still occuring on her body from all this
[23:16] * Det. Ema Skye gets her some tea
[23:20] <The Voyager> ..thank you
[23:20] <The Voyager> I feel.....
[23:20] <The Voyager> ..like I'm starting to lose it
[23:21] <Det. Ema Skye> This has been wearing on for a while
[23:21] <Det. Ema Skye> it's stress.
[23:26] * The Voyager nods
[23:27] <Det. Ema Skye> IT's been... almost half a year
[23:27] <Det. Ema Skye> and everyone we know has gone missing...
[23:27] <Det. Ema Skye> and terrors roam the landscape...
[23:27] <Det. Ema Skye> there's a monster in the sky...
[23:28] <Det. Ema Skye> I've had to step into roles I never thought I'd ever be in...
[23:32] <The Voyager> ..this has to end
[23:34] <Det. Ema Skye> It will
[23:34] <Det. Ema Skye> We just have to stick to it
[23:44] * Det. Ema Skye looks at the outside of the HOTEL from one of the cameras
[23:44] <Det. Ema Skye> It's getting so close now...
[23:46] <The Voyager> we're running out of time....
[23:47] <Det. Ema Skye> yeah
[23:59] *** The Voyager has left #suburbansenshi2 (.still..i have an idea)
[23:59] * Det. Ema Skye is away 
[18:59] *** Solarchos [Fallen0081@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[18:59] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Solarchos
[19:00] * Solarchos comes in, wearing the Orrus Suit and closely followed by someone wearing a very distinctive outfit herself.
[19:01] *** U-47 has joined #suburbansenshi2
[19:01] <@spiritflame> konbanwa U-47
[19:01] <U-47>




[19:01] <Solarchos> ...
[19:02] <Solarchos> You don't have to follow my every move, you know.
[19:03] <U-47> ^___^
[19:03] * The Voyager is watching two screens at the same time...
[19:03] <U-47> Ihnen zu folgen, ist meine mission und mein vergnügen, Vater.
[19:04] <Solarchos> I received a message from a Prinny to come here. At least, that's what I thought it said.
[19:05] <The Voyager> we're working towards a rescue mission
[19:06] <Det. Ema Skye> Hi, yeah
[19:06] * Det. Ema Skye walsk in looking tired
[19:06] <Det. Ema Skye> Amagi said they had a message for you as well
[19:06] * The Voyager is watching the moon rocket landing...
[19:06] * The Voyager is also watching a news piece on a large...green skinned octopoid being rising from the ocean...
[19:07] <Det. Ema Skye> ... oh what the hell is that
[19:08] <The Voyager> ..what do you think
[19:08] * The Voyager says that in a very deadpanned, annoyed manner
[19:08] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Cthulthu?
[19:09] *** Amagi sees what's happening and prepares a firing solution: staggered lance-strikes. One after the other to disrupt the monster's physical form and ability to reform.
[19:09] <The Voyager> bingo
[19:09] <Solarchos> ...THAT thing again?
[19:10] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah. You might have noticed things have gone to s[BLEEP]t around here.




[19:11] <Solarchos> Yes, I have.
[19:11] <Solarchos> ...Is that from all the artillery barrages and airstrikes the Imperial Guard's been doing?
[19:11] <Det. Ema Skye> it's from everything.
[19:12] <U-47> ...!!
[19:12] <U-47> Mein Vater! Relayed message from Bismarck. Eisenblut is taking to the seas to engage any seaborne monstrosities.
[19:13] <U-47> The fiends now face our Iron and Blood.
[19:14] <U-47> They will not survive against the power of Superior German Engineering and Sabaton.
[19:14] <Solarchos> <___<
[19:14] * The Voyager is more focused on the screen
[19:14] <Solarchos> They really are unhinged.
[19:14] <Solarchos> Emma, what do you need from me?
[19:15] <Det. Ema Skye> We need to get a strike team together to help retreive Matsumi from Mugen academy.... and Voyager I forget if you wanted their help testing yout sigil idea?
[19:17] *** Meanwhile, Amagi directs additional long-range airstrikes against Cthulhu. She fully intends to pound the F[BLEEP]K out of Squid-Head. "HEY CTHULHU!! Kthanid sends his regards and apologizes that he can't be here personally to fry your chunky ass!!!!!"
[19:17] *** Ouroboros has joined #suburbansenshi2
[19:17] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Ouroboros
[19:17] <The Voyager> yes I coudl use a test subject
[19:18] <Ouroboros> Attention!! Sangvis Ferri volunteers to supply ALL of its forces to this rescue mission!!
[19:18] <Solarchos> A test subject for what exactly?
[19:19] <Det. Ema Skye> To see what effect certain ancient sigils have on the enemies that have been intrruding into outr dimension and attacking people
[19:20] * Ouroboros is secretly slipping some kind of localized jammer into the Lobby's holoprojector systems.
[19:21] <Solarchos> I'm guessing those sigils are something you've never needed to use before?
[19:21] <Det. Ema Skye> We don't know whicj oines are effective or not.
[19:21] <Det. Ema Skye> ^ones
[19:22] <Det. Ema Skye> we need people to test them that won't die instantly if the sigl is ineffective.
[19:22] <Solarchos> Process of elimination?
[19:22] <Det. Ema Skye> Exactly.
[19:22] <Solarchos> And you need test subjects you know can take a few hits.
[19:22] <Det. Ema Skye> Yup.
[19:22] <The Voyager> it's more that we've never ENCOUNTERED these sigils
[19:23] <Solarchos> Annnnnnd let me guess...
[19:24] <Solarchos> You're hoping I will test them?
[19:24] <Det. Ema Skye> This is why we're asking for your help, yep.
[19:24] <Det. Ema Skye> Since your people have a lot of experience with things like this.
[19:25] <Solarchos> All right. With the situation this dire, what else can I do but agree?
[19:26] <The Voyager> ...this is going to be rather..unusual
[19:28] *** Signal received - the REST of Azur Lane deploys to sea. They're joining forces with Eisenblut to engage Cthulhu directly.
[19:28] *** Dagon has ALSO appeared..on the other side of the world
[19:30] *** Amagi and Azur Lane concentrate on Cthulhu. The Big C is the "keystone" monstrosity. Take him out and the rest will be that much easier to deal with.
[19:33] *** Meanwhile, the Death Korps of Krieg continue to hold the line in Tokyo. Anything trying to get past them will be gunned down without mercy by 28-megathule Lucius-pattern lasguns and the GREATEST melee weapons in the GALAXY...the 9-70 Entrenching Tool.
[19:34] *** Yes, the Death Korps are ready and willing to DIGGY-DIGGY-HOLE in some Lovecraftian monsters without fear of insanity...because technically they're already zip-dang crazy by Human standards!!
[19:35] * Amagi AI tries to materialize but...can't?
[19:35] <Ouroboros> :D
[19:40] * What appears to be some kind of molten ice cyclone sweeps across Dagon!!
[19:42] <Ouroboros> Good...you just stay away from him, "Star Fox".
[19:42] <Solarchos> ...It's getting kind of sporty out there.
[19:43] * The Voyager is mixing up some kind of paint......
[19:44] <Solarchos> Is that what you're going to use to inscribe those sigils you're talking about?
[19:45] <The Voyager> yes
[19:45] * Solarchos waits patiently and doesn't interfere.
[19:46] <Solarchos> Where do you want me to stand?
[19:46] *** roll 1d10 for your attacks on the Great Old Ones
[19:48] <spiritflame> Alator and Luugas rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[19:50] <Alator and Luugas> (( Why am i not surprised >.> ))
[19:50] *** While you are able to hit Cthulu....it reforms after...Dagon simply dives under the water to avoid the attack
[19:53] <The Voyager> you can stand anywhere
[19:53] <spiritflame> Amagi AI rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[19:55] * Amagi AI hits Cthulhu BEFORE he can fully reform. His reformation requires energy, and if need be she'll start firing whole CARGO SHIPS at Cthulhu's HEAD next!!
[19:59] <The Voyager> ok tell me when you're ready
[20:00] <Solarchos> I'm already ready.
[20:00] <U-47> *___*
[20:01] <Ouroboros> D:
[20:01] *** Megan O`Cain has joined #suburbansenshi2
[20:01] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Megan O`Cain
[20:01] <Megan O`Cain> You rang?
[20:02] *** Cthulu has lost it's head..and sinks under the water...but it will reform again...with time
[20:02] * The Voyager dips her thumb in the paint....
[20:02] * The Voyager starts to write a signet on the bridge of Solar's nose..right over where the Pitutiary Gland would be
[20:03] * Amagi AI is fully committed and EAGER to play Eldritch Whack-a-Mole for as long as necessary! >:D
[20:04] <The Voyager> alright..that should be it...
[20:05] <Amagi AI> ♦ Now for you, Dagon! I am declaring OPEN SEASON on you and your little Deep Ones, too! NO LIMITS ON THE FISHING!! If you value your continued existence, please sit this one out! =^ ^=
[20:05] <Amagi AI> Don't make me ask you again~!
[20:05] * Solarchos waves to Megan, but stays still otherwise.
[20:06] <Solarchos> Double check. Those kinds of arcane sigils are notoriously specific.
[20:07] <The Voyager> ...you don't even KNOW these arcane sigils
[20:07] * The Voyager double checks none the less
[20:07] * The Voyager is a little irritated
[20:07] <Megan O`Cain> Um, what's going on?
[20:07] <Solarchos> My wife knows a LOT about magic in general. I've learned a thing or two over the years.
[20:08] <Solarchos> Megan, I'm about to be a test subject for some kind of protective warding.
[20:08] <The Voyager> ok thre we go
[20:09] <Solarchos> All right. What's next?
[20:12] <The Voyager> ..you go outside and we see if you live or you die
[20:12] <Solarchos> ...No pressure, right?
[20:12] <U-47> O___o
[20:12] <Ouroboros> o___O
[20:13] * Solarchos starts walking towards the main doors, arming his Bolt Launchers and unsheathing his Phase Sword.
[20:13] <Megan O`Cain> God Almighty. It's that bad out there? That's just fantastic. ~_~
[20:16] <The Voyager> if it's the irght one..it should protect him
[20:16] * Solarchos activates his armor's Conversion Field and makes ready.
[20:21] * The Voyager nods
[20:23] <Solarchos> Ready.
[20:27] <The Voyager> alright.you can go out
[20:28] * Solarchos goes outside, carefully looking around.
[20:29] *** it's a warped, dead, horrifying landscape..a hellscape out of a druggie's nightmare........
[20:30] * Solarchos is hardly phased. He was on Caliban when El'Jonson bombarded the planet, and he LIVED in the Underhive of Hive Primus on Necromunda.
[20:32] *** roll 1d10, Solar
[20:32] <spiritflame> Solarchos rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[20:33] <Solarchos> (( Of course ))
[20:33] *** Solar..you suddenly begin to notice the corruption start eat away at your armor and weapon...
[20:34] *** it's the wrong symbol
[20:34] <Solarchos> I think this sigil isn't working.
[20:34] * Solarchos retreats back inside.
[20:35] <Megan O`Cain> Yikes.
[20:36] <The Voyager> alright..so it's obvious that one wasn't the right one
[20:36] * The Voyager wipes the symbol off Solar's face
[20:36] <The Voyager> ready for another one?
[20:36] <Solarchos> ...Process of elimination.
[20:36] * Solarchos nods
[20:37] * The Voyager paints a different symbol on Solar's nose
[20:38] <The Voyager> ok..let's try again
[20:39] * Solarchos nods and goes out again, this time murmuring the Emperor's Prayer as he crosses the threshold.
[20:40] *** Solar..you're back out in the horrible place....Ohio..no no I mean Tokyo
[20:41] <Solarchos> (( Not Wisconsin? ))
[20:42] *** roll 1d10, Solar
[20:43] <spiritflame> Solarchos rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[20:43] <Solarchos> (( Sheesh ))
[20:43] *** NOPE, STILL THE WRONG ONE
[20:43] * Solarchos turns around and goes back inside.
[20:43] <Protagonist-Kun> (( Take him to Detroit! ))
[20:43] * The Voyager works on removing the corruption, which tried to eat Solar's arm
[20:44] <The Voyager> alright......so
[20:44] <Solarchos> (( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOT DETROIT!! ANYWHERE BUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!! ))
[20:44] <The Voyager> maybe we should do..more then one symbol
[20:44] <The Voyager> you alright with that, Solarchos?
[20:44] <Solarchos> Go ahead. Do what you need to
[20:48] * The Voyager tries painting three different symbols..one on the nose...one on each cheek but close to the same spot
[20:48] <The Voyager> ok..let's see if any of these work
[20:49] * Solarchos nods and heads for the door.
[20:50] *** this time, Solar......roll 3d10
[20:51] <spiritflame> Solarchos rolls 3d10 [ 7, 4, 7 ]
[20:51] <The Voyager> ........
[20:52] *** Solar....the one on your nose...feels off..but the other two..seem fine!
[20:52] <Solarchos> (( Suddenly Cthulhu is bonked in the head by a Boeing 747 falling out of the sky? ))
[20:54] * The Voyager watches Solar from a distance
[20:58] <The Voyager> ..I think it's working
[21:00] <Det. Ema Skye> That's good news!
[21:00] <Solarchos> Do you want to try a different one on my nose?
[21:00] <Det. Ema Skye> Can you see Voayger, if there's anything in common between the sigls that worked?
[21:00] <Det. Ema Skye> that might help us bnrrow things down faster
[21:00] * The Voyager guesses Solar came back in
[21:01] <The Voyager> ...the two have similer dot numbers..the lines are in the same direction as well
[21:01] <The Voyager> that might be the key
[21:01] * Solarchos comes back inside and sits down, ready for a different sigil to be painted on
[21:02] <Solarchos> (( BRB ))
[21:07] * The Voyager tries writing a new symbol combining the two..then gives a cry of pain and pulls back...her hand now broken
[21:07] <Det. Ema Skye> What the--~
[21:08] * Det. Ema Skye rushes over to give her first aid and uses one of the advvanced medical tools to heal up her hand
[21:08] <Det. Ema Skye> Did you just create an offensive sigil?
[21:08] <The Voyager> no no...
[21:08] <The Voyager> it's like...writing reality...the body isn't built for it
[21:10] <Megan O`Cain> I thought I heard something snap. O_o
[21:10] <Det. Ema Skye> Her wrist
[21:10] <Megan O`Cain> Ouch.
[21:13] * U-47 moves in to sit in front of Vater and takes up the brush
[21:14] <U-47> Tell me how to paint the symbols you wish.
[21:14] <U-47> Der Vater risks himself you aid you. I will risk myself to aid Vater.
[21:15] <Ouroboros> D<
[21:15] <Ouroboros> D:<
[21:15] <Ouroboros> B[BLEEP]ch!!! You beat me to it!
[21:15] <U-47> ^to aid you
[21:19] <Megan O`Cain> Faster than you. :P
[21:20] <The Voyager> paint..the symbol I made..carefully
[21:27] * U-47 nods and starts painting with painstaking care and attention.
[21:28] * U-47 smiles gently, applying the symbol with absolute love and devotion towards her Vater. :D
[21:28] <U-47> Have I made any mistakes?
[21:32] <The Voyager> ..looks good
[21:32] * U-47 nods to Der Vater.
[21:32] <Solarchos> Once more unto the breach.
[21:33] * Solarchos heads outside.
[21:43] *** this time, Solar..nothing happens! you're safe!
[21:44] * Solarchos comes back inside. "I think we're good. Did your scans confirm that?"
[21:44] * U-47 PRESENTS HERSELF FOR HEADPATS!!!!!
[21:47] <The Voyager> it looks like you're safe..I think we found the right symbol
[21:48] <Det. Ema Skye> That's great! I think we can finally give ourselves an edge
[21:50] <Solarchos> Good. I'm guessing that's one less thing you'll be fretting over.
[21:50] * The Voyager nods
[21:50] <Det. Ema Skye> I really appreciate the help.
[21:51] <Det. Ema Skye> We've been so undermanned lately it's beena struggle. Whatever this thing is, it keeps removing our allies.
[21:51] <Solarchos> I'm glad I could help.
[21:52] <Solarchos> Sounds strategic. Like it knows it's dealing with adversaries that are a genuine threat to what's going on
[21:52] <Det. Ema Skye> I agree.
[21:52] <Solarchos> Either way, we need to find everyone
[21:52] * Meanwhile, Lillian Quatermass, Maybelle and Daisy are slowly making their way across the moon's surface.......
[21:53] <The Voyager> ..we need to find one person
[21:53] <Solarchos> Matsumi?
[21:53] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah.
[21:54] <Det. Ema Skye> I think she's the key to all this somehow
[21:54] <Solarchos> Then we'll need to find her with all necessary haste. When do we leave to find her?
[21:55] <The Voyager> I have a few other things to put together....
[21:58] <Solarchos> Keep me posted. I'll be there when the time comes
[21:59] * The Voyager nods "I shall"
[22:00] <Solarchos> In the meantime, I need to get back to the Kits. They've been having bad dreams.
[22:02] <The Voyager> I'm not surprised
[22:02] <The Voyager> take care
[22:02] *** Solarchos [Fallen0081@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has left #suburbansenshi2 ("Off to see how my beloved wife will surprise me now." ^__^)
[22:02] * U-47 bows graciously to everyone.
[22:03] *** U-47 has left #suburbansenshi2 ("Permit me to comfort little Natalia. I will show her that the depths hold nothing for her to fear.")
[22:03] <Ouroboros> Ema Syke.
[22:03] <Ouroboros> ^Skye
[22:03] <Ouroboros> I ask you a favor.
[22:04] <Det. Ema Skye> Yes>
[22:04] <Det. Ema Skye> ^?
[22:04] * Lillian Quatermass [The Manor] starts to set up the device..keeping Daisy and Maybelle close to her...
[22:04] * Lillian Quatermass has moved to: [ The Moon ]
[22:04] <Ouroboros> Amagi's message. Please...DELAY IT.
[22:05] <Ouroboros> The events I saw in that concoction months ago. They're falling into place!
[22:05] <Det. Ema Skye> Uhh... okay?
[22:06] * Det. Ema Skye gets some help from Voyager to do that
[22:06] <Ouroboros> Amagi is the next part. If she delivers that message...the rest of what I saw will proceed to its conclusion!!
[22:06] <Ouroboros> T___T
[22:06] <Det. Ema Skye> I don't know how to stop her
[22:08] * Ouroboros nods, looking not at all like the super-confident Ringleader you've come to know.
[22:09] *** Ouroboros has left #suburbansenshi2 ("Just...please. Help me change the future I saw.")
[22:12] <The Voyager> at least some good news
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah, though I wonder what That Was all about
[22:15] <The Voyager> I..really have no idea
[22:19] <Liliian Quatermass> (let's hope this works...)
[22:19] * Liliian Quatermass has moved to: [ The Moon ]
[22:21] * Liliian Quatermass [The Moon] operates the device....while Maybelle puts her hand on it...
[22:21] <The Voyager> ..hold on..something's happening!
[22:22] <Det. Ema Skye> What's going on?
[22:22] <The Voyager> that object...Ghroth..it's starting to move...it's starting to move away
[22:23] <Det. Ema Skye> What are they doing to it?
[22:25] <The Voyager> I can't tell..I don't have a camera that good
[22:26] <Det. Ema Skye> It feels like the tides are finally turning
[22:27] <The Voyager> ....it's leaving the area....
[22:28] * Daisy and Maybelle are desperatly trying to drag Lillian back to the rocket...have the device exploded in her face....it's one time use having been fulfilled...
[22:34] * The Voyager runs over to a tablet and runs through it....
[22:35] <The Voyager> .....
[22:37] <The Voyager> it looks like incidents of eldrch activities are going down around the world...
[22:37] <The Voyager> ............except Japan
[22:37] <Det. Ema Skye> ...of course
[22:37] <Det. Ema Skye> ...that implies we're at the center
[22:41] <The Voyager> yes...
[22:48] <Det. Ema Skye> So what are you trying to assemble?
[22:50] <The Voyager> ..I'm hoping the symbols might be used as a weapon
[22:51] <Det. Ema Skye> Try not to break any more bones <_<
[22:56] <The Voyager> I will be more careful
[22:56] <The Voyager> in theory....we should be able to perhaps fight back..alter reality in our favor
[22:57] <Det. Ema Skye> ...that sounds promising
[22:59] <The Voyager> ..of course it could also kill us all
[22:59] * Det. Ema Skye sighs
[23:00] <Det. Ema Skye> Considering we're dead anyway if this doesn't work...
[23:00] <Det. Ema Skye> I don't think there's much to lose.
[23:03] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka walks into the room, the Think Tank looking more like a gigantic coatrack or tree, carrying countless things from different appendages and protrusions.
[23:03] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved back to the Atrium
[23:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh! Good evening!
[23:03] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka waves to Det. Ema Skye! ^_^
[23:04] <Det. Ema Skye> Hi Liza
[23:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Please excuse me. Some supplies needed to be moved around, and I also was charging some emergency power devices.
[23:04] * Det. Ema Skye waves back
[23:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[23:06] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka slooowly moves through the atrium, with a big complicated mass of supplies hanging from the armorsuit or held by it. Liza holds white sheets in her hands, though.
[23:06] <Det. Ema Skye> What are all of those supplies for?
[23:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Let's see, got to ready hospital beds, and then the bunkers. Level off the containers of water and use hydrolysis to generate air with about half of them, just in case... Hmmm, I might be forgetting?
[23:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, sorry, I didn't hear you at first. ^_^
[23:07] <The Voyager> I was doing some research......some old research papers from a Miskatonic University
[23:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm helping Chateaux by assuming some of her duties while she's resting.
[23:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> After all, she is always working hard while I need to rest! ^_^
[23:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> The Think Tank, and I, can do a lot of things that Chateaux typically does, and so I'm helping out and doing them.
[23:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> The supplies are to help when our people return from their mission, and in case the HOTEL loses power, or has to sub-divide into different units for a time as an obstacle or quarantine measure, so I'm moving a few things from central supplies, and fabricating others.
[23:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Is there any help that YOU need? ^_^
[23:09] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is looking at Ema Skye---she doesn't seem to have noticed The Voyager, since there are some hoses hanging in the way of her line of sight.
[23:10] <Det. Ema Skye> Voyager's the one to ask at this point, as she's knee-deep in some research.
[23:10] <The Voyager> there was a paper...written by a Gilman..who suggested the use of mathmatics in the exploration of non-euclidian dimensions...
[23:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Sorry, what did you say?
[23:10] <The Voyager> ..I think the symbols can be used in the same way
[23:10] <The Voyager> hm?
[23:10] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka reads an alert that appears in her HUD. "!!!"
[23:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh gosh, I didn't realize that was a factor, I might need to hurry.
[23:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Do you need any help then, madame? ^_^
[23:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If you do, please let me know, okay?
[23:14] <The Voyager> ..i would ask you to process these symbols but they might mess up tyour system...
[23:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OH, there's another person in the room! I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you!
[23:14] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns
[23:14] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at The Voyager.
[23:14] *** The Voyager is a young woman with dark skin, teal eyes, long black hair and wearing a green waistcoat, white button up shirt and black pants. She is a time lord from another universe.
Her image Song is: .
[23:15] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It's lovely to see you! What service do you need? ^_^
[23:15] <The Voyager> ....*thinks*
[23:16] <The Voyager> ......can you caculate for us the best path we can get to Mugen
[23:16] <The Voyager> the safest one
[23:16] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course!
[23:16] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved to: [ Virtual Reality Goggles ]
[23:17] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Virtual Reality Goggles] 's helmet changes, and a pair of goggles flips up behind her visor. A holographic image of Tokyo with likely routes is holographically painted on the floor.
[23:18] *** The different routes to the school have different probabilities of negative outcomes, which then escalate higher and higher, but it's pretty clear which ones start off with the lowest risk.
[23:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Virtual Reality Goggles] It's pretty clear that the risk is lowest if you attempt this at certain times, or with forewarning. Otherwise, the risk keeps escalating.
[23:19] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Virtual Reality Goggles] Would you like me to return after I finish these preparations, and then provide a more detailed calculation? ^_^
[23:21] <The Voyager> yes
[23:21] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> [Virtual Reality Goggles] Right! I'm on it! Please let me know if you require anything else before then!
[23:22] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Virtual Reality Goggles] scurries away, but as she does, a remote control to the Castle Mk LVI---much like those held by Sakura, Intern, and Chateaux, falls to the ground where The Voyager can pick it up.
[23:22] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has quit IRC (Wish me luck!)
[23:32] * The Magistra is being counterproductive and informing you that they are lurking.
[23:35] * is half-asleep, but still here
[23:35] * The Voyager is looking over the symbols
[23:35] * ^
[23:36] * is now known as Det. Ema Skye
[23:37] <The Magistra> Ema. There you are. Sorry, been busy. Is it still all eldritch horror outside?
[23:41] <Det. Ema Skye> yeah, and it's gotten really bad.
[23:41] <Det. Ema Skye> But there might be some hope at last
[23:43] * The Magistra looks over Ema, evaulating her potential as a Master and a Mage
[23:45] * The Voyager just keeps going over papers
[23:45] <The Magistra> If you're willing, I can help you summon a familer for protection.
[23:47] <Det. Ema Skye> We may actually have found a way to protect ourselves
[23:47] <The Magistra> Oh?
[23:48] <Det. Ema Skye> Voyager and Solarchos found out that some ancient sigils have a protective effect if they're painted on the body
[23:48] <The Voyager> ema, we could use all the help we can get
[23:51] * Det. Ema Skye nods
[23:56] <Det. Ema Skye> I guess we could use a familiar?
[23:57] <The Magistra> I have two artifacts prepared. Well three, but I don't think the third would work well with you holding the reigns
[00:01] * The Magistra produces a copy "The Fisherman's Wife" and a sheild with a goat on it, from 12th france.
[00:02] <The Magistra> *12th Century
[00:02] <The Magistra> Pick whichever one calls to you.
[00:03] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d2 [ 1 ]
[00:04] * Det. Ema Skye selects The Fisherman's Wife
[00:06] * The Magistra hands the painting to Ema and leads her to a summoning circle. "Stand in the middle there if you're ready. We'll be summoning a Foreginer class servant to be your guard. You'll be registered as the Master and be given 3 command seals to help control them, able to compel them to obey your order.
[00:09] * Det. Ema Skye stands there
[00:15] * The Magistra begins casting the summoning spell. A red tattoo would appear on Ema's hand. Light spins around Ema and gathers into a card. Around the card, [This woman forms
[00:17] * Kimono-Clad Woman looks at Ema "Katsushika Hokusai. I'm just a humble painter. And you're the Lord Master? Ah, you look fit for a painting. Well, I'm going to do whatever suits me."
[00:17] * Kimono-Clad Woman is now known as Hokusai
[00:18] * Hokusai is speaking kinda like an old man in Japanese, in that she's using outdated language
[00:19] <Det. Ema Skye> (Oh reat. I i got Michiru for my bodyguard)
[00:22] <Hokusai> Oh. And this is Toto-sama
[00:22] * Hokusai gestures to the Ocotopus floating next to her.
[00:23] * Hokusai just called the Ocotopus her father yes.
[00:23] <Det. Ema Skye> .... I see. (No, I don't)
[00:26] <The Magistra> ...Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hokusai was a famous painter in the Late Edo period of japan. And is recorded in history as a man.
[00:27] <Hokusai> Together, one person and one creature form Hokusai.
[00:29] <Hokusai> Toto-sama is the one you're thinking of. I'm also known as Katsushika Oui, Toto-sama's assistant
[00:30] <Hokusai> We both painted under the name Katsushika Hokusai when were alive.
[00:32] <The Magistra> ...And the old man is an octopus because?
[00:36] <Hokusai> Ask the Outer God of the Abyss
[00:49] * Hokusai has found a seat and started painting.
[00:50] * Det. Ema Skye watches her work, but starts falling asleep
[07:35] * Hokusai is still painting.
[10:24] * Det. Ema Skye is barely awake
[11:04] * Det. Ema Skye is away

[16:50] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa The Voyager
[16:50] * The Voyager is working on more notes...
[16:53] * Something THUDS outside the Hotel Door....
[16:56] * Det. Ema Skye was jolted awake by the sound
[16:56] <Det. Ema Skye> what's that?
[16:59] <The Voyager> hm?
[17:00] * The Voyager walks over and with some hestitaton...opens the door
[17:00] <Det. Ema Skye> There was a sound by the door
[17:01] <The Voyager> I know...
[17:01] * The Voyager opens the door
[17:03] * There is a massive pile of crates, boxes, and other assorted errata.... standing by them is this character.
[17:03] <Jet> Looke like you're all managing to hold.
[17:03] <Protagonist-Kun> (( Blank picture from Fandom! ))
[17:04] <Det. Ema Skye> Hi there?
[17:04] * Jet is a Robo-Kurtis once created by the disgraced EDF General, Carter, after his scheme went belly-up.
[17:04] <The Voyager> hello?
[17:04] <Det. Ema Skye> Might want to get your stuff in here and close the door
[17:05] <Jet> Probably ought to introduce myself --- name's Jet. I'm one of Raoul's vassals.
[17:05] * Jet casually hefts up a few of the boxes to bring them inside.
[17:05] <The Voyager> um hello there
[17:05] <Det. Ema Skye> Nice to meet you Jet!
[17:07] <The Voyager> you can put them over there? *points to her make shift work space*
[17:08] * Jet does so. "Likewise, Miss Skye. Heard a fair bit about you from boss-man."
[17:08] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Don't tell me I have a rep now
[17:08] * Det. Ema Skye munches a Snackoo out of stress
[17:08] <The Voyager> apperently you do
[17:09] * Det. Ema Skye makes the most terrfied face
[17:11] <The Voyager> well thank you for these goods...wheaver..they are?
[17:13] <Jet> Part of what we do. Would've been here sooner, but having to clear out several, literal metric tons of those things takes a while.
[17:16] <The Voyager> so..what are they?
[17:18] <Jet> Outside of some food and drink we had to insulate to ensure lack of infection / corruption, boss has been working with that angelic couple to help create some extra wards. Field tests have been going fairly well, staving off and even beginning to reverse mental decay.
[17:21] <Det. Ema Skye> That's really encouraging!
[17:23] <The Voyager> yes!
[17:27] <The Voyager> thank you!!!
[17:39] <Jet> Ain't no way we're letting that gaggle of molded spaghetti monsters get one over on us.
[17:48] * The Voyager feels for the first time in several days.....really postive
[17:51] <The Voyager> you don't know how.....
[17:52] <The Voyager> ...thank you
[17:52] <Jet> All's good.
[17:57] * The Voyager heads over and works on trying to get the items out and prepared...
[18:13] * Jet takes a moment to get in touch with the others.
[18:14] * The Voyager is at the same time looking at the documents she has
[18:14] * Det. Ema Skye too
[18:20] * There's a scuffling noise from one of the other rooms
[18:22] * The Voyager pauses but reads the docuement in front o fher
[18:24] * Jet goes to check out the scuffling noises. He arms himself before doing so.
[18:25] *** Megan Smithson has joined #suburbansenshi2
[18:25] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Megan Smithson
[18:25] * Megan Smithson , Ikuko, Risa, Saeko and the other moms FALL over into the room
[18:26] <Ai Aino> Get..off...me...Hanako..you're..squishing...me....
[18:26] <Ikuko Tsukino> WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
[18:26] <Saeko Mizuno> we know who's behind it all!
[18:26] <Det. Ema Skye> Where have you guys been!? What do you mean?
[18:27] <Megan Smithson> we went to The Dreamlands..to find my daughter...MInnie-Minx helped us and then we saved the ghouls and....
[18:28] <Ai Aino> I..can't...breath!
[18:28] <Jet> One thing at a time.
[18:28] * Jet goes to help the mom club to their feet.
[18:30] <Jet> Alright, let's take this from the beginning. You know who's behind this eldritch invasion?
[18:32] <Ai Aino> yeah....
[18:33] <Megan Smithson> we went to The Dreamlands.....Meg and I have been there lots of times before
[18:33] <Det. Ema Skye> (The Dreamlands??)
[18:33] * Det. Ema Skye decides to let them finish before indulging her curiosity
[18:34] <Megan Smithson> we stopped at Ulther..cause there's where Minnie-Minx is..and she's a good friend and can find anything!
[18:37] <Ai Aino> it was a weird and creepy talking cat....
[18:38] <Megan Smithson> anyway! we were looking for where my daughter's dream location was so we could find her and so we made our way by airship but we had to stop and save a group of Ghouls
[18:40] <Megan Smithson> they pointed us along the way and....
[18:40] <Ai Aino> just get to the point!!!!!
[18:40] <Ai Aino> it feels like we've been gone for years ><
[18:42] <Det. Ema Skye> Six months.
[18:42] <Megan Smithson> we found a jade palace on the edge of a Borderland.....
[18:42] <Megan Smithson> and then we...fou....
[18:42] <Megan Smithson> .....
[18:43] <Ai Aino> .....
[18:43] <Ikuko Tsukino> ..........

[18:45] <The Voyager> what? why did you just *turns to look where they're looking*....stop
[18:47] <The Quiet Woman> Yes. Do go on.
[18:48] * The Quiet Woman sits, cross legged on one of the sofas, directly across from everyone
[18:48] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[18:48] <Det. Ema Skye> ([How long has she been there??)
[18:48] <The Quiet Woman> Tell them.
[18:48] * Risa Hino gets protectivly in front of the other moms
[18:50] <The Quiet Woman> aren't you curious, Ema Skye?
[18:51] <Det. Ema Skye> Of course I am, but I figured this would go fastger if I didn't interrupt them every few minutes.
[18:51] <The Quiet Woman> Didn't your sister ever encourage your curosity?
[18:51] <Det. Ema Skye> ....
[18:51] <Det. Ema Skye> Nice flex.
[18:51] * The Quiet Woman gives an impossibly wide smile at that
[18:51] <Det. Ema Skye> (Nooooot creepy at all.)
[18:51] <The Voyager> .....
[18:52] <The Voyager> mind..telling us where you came from?
[18:53] <The Quiet Woman> oh..I came to collect unpaid payments from Mugen......Janitoral work, you know
[18:53] * The Quiet Woman looks to the moms, who quickly back away
[18:54] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[18:54] <Det. Ema Skye> (Just what does she "Clean up" exactly?)
[18:55] <The Quiet Woman> little lost girl....how are you handling things?....doing well here now that you're cut off from mommy and daddy?
[18:55] * The Voyager winces a little
[18:56] <Det. Ema Skye> She's just thrying to throw you off your game.
[18:57] * Det. Ema Skye looks over The Quiet Woman more closely
[18:58] * Det. Ema Skye looks at The Quiet Woman.
[18:58] *** The Quiet Woman is a young woman with pale white skin, beady black eyes, deep red lips, wearing a white labcoat and a white shirt with a black mugen star on the front. Her short black hair crowns her head like a pharaoh's crown/headdress.
Her image Song is: .
[18:59] <Det. Ema Skye> (One of Tomoe's people?? She doesn't look like any of the Death Busters I know about.)
[18:59] <The Quiet Woman> the Death Busters were droll
[19:00] <Det. Ema Skye> You could tell us who you are.
[19:01] <The Quiet Woman> you want to know *smiles*
[19:01] <Det. Ema Skye> You asked me if I was curious. I am.
[19:01] * The Quiet Woman looks to the room
[19:01] <Det. Ema Skye> Comes with being a Scientific Detective.
[19:01] <The Quiet Woman> I have many names.
[19:02] *** the room starts to subtly get darker
[19:02] <Det. Ema Skye> Any we might be familiar with?
[19:02] <The Quiet Woman> some call me Ahtu
[19:03] <Det. Ema Skye> (Wonderful...)
[19:03] <The Quiet Woman> some The Faceless God
[19:03] <The Quiet Woman> the Quinoxians called me...Tas'qua
[19:04] <Det. Ema Skye> (Isn't that the name for the Enemy?)
[19:04] * Det. Ema Skye thinks back to the papers she got from Matsuo
[19:04] <The Quiet Woman> indeed
[19:04] *** the room is still getting darker
[19:05] <The Quiet Woman> I am the Stalker amoung the Stars
[19:05] * Det. Ema Skye focuses on keeping her mind clear, the torchwood psychic traning she had back in the day kicking in
[19:05] <The Quiet Woman> the God of the Bloody Tongue
[19:05] <Det. Ema Skye> I get it.
[19:05] <The Quiet Woman> The Black Pharaoh
[19:06] *** the darkness is almost complete except for the trace of her eyes and hair in the darkness
[19:06] <Det. Ema Skye> The fact that we're not all dead makes me think you're not behind this?
[19:06] <The Quiet Woman> do you, dear Skye
[19:06] <The Quiet Woman> what makes you think that
[19:06] <Det. Ema Skye> Are you,?
[19:06] * The Quiet Woman gets up and walks over...and gently grabs Ema by the chin
[19:07] <Det. Ema Skye> I mean you are an avatar of Nyarlathotep.
[19:07] *** roll 1d10, Ema for a sanity check
[19:07] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]
[19:07] * The Quiet Woman looks Ema in the eyes and smiles
[19:07] <The Quiet Woman> very strong aren't you
[19:07] <The Quiet Woman> oh so strong
[19:08] <Det. Ema Skye> I... wasn't before all this started.
[19:08] <The Quiet Woman> I ike the new body
[19:08] <Det. Ema Skye> But then again you can see all that.
[19:08] <The Quiet Woman> I see you threw off my little infection
[19:08] * Det. Ema Skye shakes her head
[19:09] <Det. Ema Skye> Oh, you're in my head all right.
[19:09] * The Quiet Woman walks around Ema
[19:09] *** Ema you are suddenly very...very alone
[19:09] <Det. Ema Skye> But I can't let meyself freak out right now.
[19:09] * Det. Ema Skye closes her eyes
[19:10] * Det. Ema Skye knows the effects fo sensory depsirvation
[19:10] <Det. Ema Skye> ^deprivation
[19:10] <The Quiet Woman> perhaps...I can fix things for you
[19:10] * The Quiet Woman whispers this in an ASMR style voice in Ema's ear
[19:10] * Det. Ema Skye just focuses on her breath
[19:10] <Det. Ema Skye> (Wow I hate ASMR)
[19:11] <Det. Ema Skye> Fix things how?
[19:11] <The Quiet Woman> I can make it all go away...restore everything to the way it was.......even make things..even better...
[19:11] <Det. Ema Skye> No thanks.
[19:12] * Det. Ema Skye just says that flatly.
[19:13] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm not going to be the one who sells out the human race.
[19:13] * The Quiet Woman smiles and whispers in Ema's ear again
[19:14] <The Quiet Woman> I'll be waiting
[19:14] *** The Quiet Woman has left #suburbansenshi2
[19:14] <Det. Ema Skye> My friends will be coming.
[19:14] <The Voyager> Ema!
[19:14] * The Voyager snaps her finger in front of Ema's face
[19:14] * Det. Ema Skye comes out of it
[19:14] <Det. Ema Skye> How long was I out?
[19:15] <The Voyager> a fwe minutes...she's gone..what happened???
[19:15] <Det. Ema Skye> She offered to "fix everything". I told her no.
[19:15] <Det. Ema Skye> She's an avatar of Nyarlathotep.
[19:16] <The Voyager> ....
[19:16] <Megan Smithson> YEAH
[19:16] <Megan Smithson> that's who she is!
[19:17] <Megan Smithson> she's behind it all!
[19:18] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah I got that impression.
[19:20] <Jet> Now comes the next part --- how we undo this damage and send that thing running back home.
[19:21] <The Voyager> ..I'm going to be hoenst....
[19:21] <Det. Ema Skye> logically, we have to send it home and then work on fixing the damage.
[19:21] <The Voyager> Nyarlathotep is kind of out of our league
[19:21] <The Voyager> the best we can probably do is undo the damage done
[19:22] <Det. Ema Skye> Voyager, how are we going to indo the damage IF we don't send her away?
[19:22] <Det. Ema Skye> if she's out of our league we need to find someone who's in her class.
[19:23] <Det. Ema Skye> I mean I'm not saying we can kick her ass
[19:23] <Det. Ema Skye> But the fact she hasn't run over the cosmos already means there has to be a way to keep her in check or at least away from us.
[19:24] <The Voyager> I know i know...just
[19:24] <The Voyager> need to find someone then
[19:24] <Det. Ema Skye> Well hang on.
[19:24] <Det. Ema Skye> Let's think about this scientifically.
[19:25] <Det. Ema Skye> What changed that allowed her to cause this damage?
[19:25] <Det. Ema Skye> If we can figure that out, maybe that gives us a lever.
[19:25] <Det. Ema Skye> Because maybe we can change it back?
[19:27] <Jet> From what I remember hearing, this whole situation began due to the information about those four missing planets. Perhaps one of 'em was shifted out of alignment, allowing a "crack" to form?
[19:27] <The Voyager> that might be a possabiltiy
[19:28] <Det. Ema Skye> Well 70,000 years ago or so they all just vanished.
[19:29] <Det. Ema Skye> I think from the notes Sakura A and Lily Quatermass collected, there was some kind of seal created in the process.
[19:29] <Det. Ema Skye> I'd guess it was distrubed somehow?
[19:30] <Jet> Perhaps by someone whom believed they could control whatever was sealed away..... such stories never end well.
[19:31] * Det. Ema Skye sighs "tale as old as time"
[19:31] <Det. Ema Skye> Some idiot f[BLEEP]ks things up and everyone else pays the price.
[19:31] <The Voyager> it's as good a guess as we have
[19:32] <Det. Ema Skye> Okay but that only gets us so far.
[19:33] <Det. Ema Skye> We need to actually get some actionable evidence.
[19:33] <Det. Ema Skye> We already know we need to get Matsumi out of Mu...
[19:33] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Ahtu was wearing a Mugen uniform.
[19:33] <Det. Ema Skye> Matsumi's trapped htere.
[19:34] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[19:34] <Det. Ema Skye> Did something happen at Mugen?
[19:34] <Det. Ema Skye> That might have helped preciptiate all this?
[19:34] <Jet> .....wasn't Mugen also the site of some eldritch stuff once upon a time?
[19:34] <The Voyager> we can only guess!
[19:35] <The Voyager> yes..yes it was
[19:35] * Det. Ema Skye tries looking up any records the HOTEL comupter might have collected from news / weater reports, srreet cams, tomoes feeds
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> Voayger, I'm a CSI
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> guessing is the thing I hate the most
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm not Dr. House
[19:35] <Det. Ema Skye> I want to know the truth
[19:35] <Jet> I begin to wonder if that Academy is cursed. How it's still managing to fuction must be one of the great mysteries.
[19:36] <Det. Ema Skye> It keeps getting rebuilt because Professor Tomoe has connections.
[19:36] <Det. Ema Skye> Trchwood has a dossier on him the size of a phone book
[19:37] * Det. Ema Skye checks to see if the Mugen Academy security system has anything of interest about 6 months ago or so
[19:40] *** roll 1d10, Ema
[19:40] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[19:41] *** you find absolutly nothing
[19:42] <Det. Ema Skye> v_v
[19:42] <Det. Ema Skye> come on, there has to be some connection
[19:45] <Det. Ema Skye> Voyager, maybe I'm obsessing on the wrong thing here, but I don't know.
[19:47] <The Voyager> it doesn't hurt trying to look
[19:48] <Det. Ema Skye> What do you think? Is there an angle here I'm missing?
[19:49] <The Voyager> ..I'm not sure........
[19:49] <Det. Ema Skye> okay.
[19:49] <The Voyager> ....maybe the mugen angle does work...after all why there?
[19:49] <Det. Ema Skye> In cases like this
[19:49] <Det. Ema Skye> Before we can move forward, we have to go back.
[19:50] <Det. Ema Skye> Let's review what we know for sure.
[19:50] <Det. Ema Skye> What are all the facts we have relevant to the current situation?
[19:51] <Det. Ema Skye> (( lol i missed that line ))
[19:51] <The Voyager> ..I haven't been here for this entire event of incidents
[19:51] <Det. Ema Skye> Right but we've been working together long enough that you basically know all the research
[19:51] <Det. Ema Skye> So let's say Mugen is imoortant
[19:51] <Det. Ema Skye> what have we got just from the notes that could be relevant to that location?
[19:54] <The Voyager> we know Matsumi is there......it seems to be an epicenter....
[19:55] <Det. Ema Skye> So how is it tied to all this?
[19:56] <Det. Ema Skye> Is there any way we can see what effects are coming from there?
[19:56] <The Voyager> I...I can't think of a reason
[19:56] <Det. Ema Skye> Then this is the first mystery we need to try and unlock
[19:57] <Det. Ema Skye> obviously until we get there we won't know for sure
[19:57] <Det. Ema Skye> But the more info we can wget the better prepared we will be
[19:58] <The Voyager> maybe we can try the footage...or some files or...
[19:58] <The Voyager> ...she said she was a janitor..matience records?
[19:58] * Det. Ema Skye checks
[20:01] *** which are you looking at, Ema
[20:02] * Det. Ema Skye is looking at the mantainance records for any anomalies. cross-referencing with payment records for janitorial work. What work? Where? How much? when?
[20:05] *** roll 1d10, Ema
[20:05] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[20:06] *** you do find something odd!!!!!!!!!
[20:07] * Det. Ema Skye takes a look
[20:09] *** ok ready for this?
[20:09] * Det. Ema Skye is
[20:11] *** back shortly after the destruction of Mugen Acadamy, there was an odd subsidence found during intital reconstruction efforts. They managed to fix it thanks to cementing it over during construction of the sub basement. There is no further reports on it......TILL about seven months ago, when there's a matience note of a strange subsidence in the same location
[20:13] <Det. Ema Skye> Seven months ago... a subsidence in a part of the sub-basement.
[20:14] <Det. Ema Skye> It recurred.
[20:14] <Det. Ema Skye> Something that goes back to to the original structgure.
[20:14] * Det. Ema Skye makes note of that location
[20:14] <The Voyager> I wouldn't think that would be unusual....
[20:14] *** Ema, roll 1d10
[20:15] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[20:15] <Det. Ema Skye> The timing is suspicious and so's the location
[20:17] <The Voyager> true true...
[20:17] *** there might be more, Ema...but you don't seem to notice it
[20:18] <Det. Ema Skye> Seven months ago...
[20:18] * Det. Ema Skye looks in the comouter to see if there were any other oddfities or anomalies aoround Mugen from around that time or a bit later
[20:23] *** roll 1d10, Ema!
[20:23] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[20:26] *** there are records of headaches..and a few breakdowns from teachers and students........most in the classrooms closer towards the ground floor
[20:27] * Det. Ema Skye looks up any records on the breakdowns to see if anything interesting might have been said
[20:31] *** There is mention of the color Black..or dark...ALOT
[20:31] * Det. Ema Skye shivers thinking of the experience she had
[20:31] <Det. Ema Skye> She was definitely at work back then
[20:32] * Det. Ema Skye frowns
[20:32] * Det. Ema Skye starts rechecking the mugen computer system to see if they recording any strangeness in the labs or anytwhere around the time the students were complaning of issues
[20:45] *** the records are completely normal
[20:46] * Det. Ema Skye nows forward a month at a time figuring this entity must have been laying the groundwork for something
[20:48] *** there are no records..at all
[20:48] <Det. Ema Skye> (Okay that in itself is odd)
[20:48] <Det. Ema Skye> Voayger... I hva e feeling some records got deleted from the system... can you see if you can undelete any of them?
[20:50] <The Voyager> I can try
[20:50] * The Voyager starts to work on it.....
[20:52] <spiritflame> The Voyager rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[20:53] <The Voyager> ...got it!
[20:53] <Det. Ema Skye> Awesome! What have you got?
[21:01] * The Voyager plays it and....
[21:01] *** Ever seen Event Horizon?
[21:02] <Det. Ema Skye> (( too lomg ago to remember, you'll need to improve lol ))
[21:06] * The Voyager turns away from the footage.....
[21:06] * The Voyager tries not to vomit..again
[21:07] * Det. Ema Skye looks
[21:11] <Det. Ema Skye> Oh god ><
[21:12] * Det. Ema Skye turn saway from it
[21:12] <Det. Ema Skye> IS there anything... you can deduce... from that
[21:14] <The Voyager> ..madness..mostly
[21:14] <Det. Ema Skye> What we're loking for is any clues on how this started from a physical perspective.
[21:14] <Det. Ema Skye> If we can figure out how the door opened maybe we can figure out how to close it.
[21:15] <The Voyager> I know i know
[21:18] * Det. Ema Skye helps go through the data to see if there's anything
[21:18] *** the data is pretty corrupted
[21:24] <The Voyager> gah it's hard to get anything
[21:25] <Det. Ema Skye> Okay can you pinpoint where that is in Mugen?
[21:25] <Det. Ema Skye> IT might be a location of interest when we get there
[21:27] <The Voyager> .......the sub-basement
[21:28] <Det. Ema Skye> So the same place I noted before?
[21:31] <The Voyager> yes
[21:36] * The Voyager rubs her temples
[21:36] <Det. Ema Skye> okay let's keep that location in mind for the raid.
[21:43] * rubs her eyes
[21:43] * is now known as
[21:43] * is now known as Det. Ema Skye
[21:44] <The Voyager> ?
[21:44] <Det. Ema Skye> Now didn't Mistress 9 come from the Sub-basement as well if I rmemeber my history
[21:47] <The Voyager> yes..yes I belive so
[21:57] <Det. Ema Skye> ...I wonder if that's not just coincidence
[21:57] <Det. Ema Skye> around 7 months ago... was there anything going on in space in that area where the four planets were?
[21:58] * The Voyager looks through records
[21:58] <The Voyager> no
[21:59] <Det. Ema Skye> Any oddness at all in the solar system or on earth that in hindsight might have presaged all this?
[22:00] * Det. Ema Skye is still looking for any other connections
[22:03] <The Voyager> ...it will take me awhile to go over everything
[22:06] <Det. Ema Skye> right
[22:21] * Det. Ema Skye is away: bbl
[23:19] * Maybelle Greene [The Manor] tugs on Lillian's arm as she tries to work the controls of the return capsule
[23:19] * Maybelle Greene has moved to: [ Moon Capsule ]
[23:19] * Lillian Quatermass has moved to: [ Moon Capsule ]
[23:20] <Lillian Quatermass> [Moon Capsule] what..what is it..I'm trying to get us in a proper flight path....
[23:20] * Maybelle Greene [Moon Capsule] points out the capsule window
[23:20] * Lillian Quatermass [Moon Capsule] looks
[23:21] <Lillian Quatermass> [Moon Capsule] ...bloody hell..........
[23:22] *** Outside the capsule....in the void of teh surrouning space......space itself has turned a boiling, crackling red.............bolts of a strange lumnious nature flashing.....as if the pocket universe itself is being devoured by a malevolent cancer
[23:23] *** TO BE CONTINUED
[19:54] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> (( we will begin in a little bit everyone ))
[19:55] <Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (( roger roger ))
[19:55] <Capt. David O`Cain> (( Okay! ))
[20:12] *** Within the Aetherlands...in front of an ancient seal, the tulpa of Matsuo Sin studies the three intently..having promised answers..
[20:17] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] maintains a defensive posture, hand on the hilt of her blade
[20:19] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> .....*smiles*
[20:21] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Blackout] smiles back. ^_^
[20:21] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( wait ))
[20:21] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Blackout] isn't here.
[20:21] *** Eliza McIntash has joined #suburbansenshi2
[20:21] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Eliza McIntash
[20:21] * Eliza McIntash smiles back. ^_^
[20:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] (A Tulpa is just a manifiested thoughtform, albeit extremely powerful, it must have a vulnerability)
[20:23] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> my reason...
[20:23] <Eliza McIntash> !?
[20:23] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) has moved to: [ Aetherlands ]
[20:25] * Eliza McIntash smiles serenely.
[20:27] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] has a serious expression, eyes narrowed
[20:27] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] keeps his eyes on what is supposedly Matsuo
[20:30] * Eliza McIntash waits patiently. Maybe it can all be sorted out!
[20:32] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] starts thinking back to the training her adoptive mum gave her, tightening and focusing her thoughts into a kind of psionic blade, and then mapping that thought-force onto her blade
[20:34] <Eliza McIntash> test
[20:36] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] really hates digging into the wellspring of her birthright, but needs must
[20:44] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) 's eyes suddenly glow.....
[20:45] *** a wave of psyonic energy SLAMS towards the three of you
[20:45] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] counters with her own massive barrier
[20:45] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] surrounds all four of the others with pink-huged psionic energy
[20:45] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ^hued
[20:45] * Eliza McIntash looks how high the wave is, because she might be able to jump if with the Phantom Steed, if it's high enough.
[20:46] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> a golden path........
[20:46] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) is suddenly behind the three of you
[20:46] *** the wave is at least 10 ft tall
[20:46] <Eliza McIntash> Why are you fighting us? You said you'd answer us, didn't you?
[20:46] * Eliza McIntash tries it!
[20:46] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]
[20:46] * Eliza McIntash DOES clear it!
[20:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] He thinks he's Leto Atreides or something
[20:46] *** The Phantom Steed might not be so lucky, but she can easily make another one.
[20:47] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] What? He had took Spice?
[20:47] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> written with golden words......
[20:47] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) has moved to: [ Aetherlands ]
[20:47] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] and from one...horrible..source...
[20:47] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] was joking about the "Golden Path" but listens carefully
[20:47] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] SLAMS two fists down causing a wave of debries to head towards the three
[20:48] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] swings her blade around in a casual arc sending forth a crescent of destructive eerngy to try and vapourise the deibris
[20:48] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] tries to aim a physical attack at David!
[20:49] * Eliza McIntash stays pretty far back from the fighting, and rides the Phantom Steed to try to avoid damage. It's quite fast.
[20:49] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] a Silver Millenium that showed it's true aspect under the gaudy sheen.......
[20:50] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] tries to parry Matsuo's attack
[20:50] *** roll 1d10, David
[20:50] <spiritflame> Capt. David O`Cain rolls 1d10 [ 4 ]
[20:51] <Eliza McIntash> Why are you attacking us? Please just explain!
[20:51] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] gets a hand around David's throat
[20:51] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] inspiring greed......anger..hatred...lust of power!
[20:51] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] swings around and tries to jab the hilt of her blade, coated in psionic energy, into matsuo to break his hold
[20:52] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] THROWS David at Sakura
[20:52] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[20:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] gets clipped by David and tumbles backwards
[20:53] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] a WORTHLESS HISTORY
[20:53] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] pushes herself to her feet
[20:54] * Eliza McIntash rides up to Sakura Amamiya Peinforte, and casts Cure Light Wounds on her, which should definitely be enough to almost completely erase the injuries of falling 20 feet, or having a person thrown into you.
[20:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] I take it you're not a fan of the Silver Millennium?
[20:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Thanks, Eliza
[20:54] * Eliza McIntash casts Cure Light Wounds on David O`Cain, next. ^_^
[20:54] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] dusts herself off
[20:54] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] grabs hold of one the nearby platforms with tekenisis and THROWS it at Eliza
[20:55] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] here..time means nothing.....space means nothing....
[20:55] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] ..and the void awaits...
[20:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] What waits for you in the void?
[20:56] * Eliza McIntash does try to get out of the way, but she's almost certainly hit by the platform.
[20:56] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is suddenly back to where the ground seal is....
[20:56] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] not in....
[20:56] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] Worthless? Says the one under the influence of an outside force that has some domination complex.
[20:57] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] just smiles at David...his skin cracking around the edges of his mouth
[20:57] * Eliza McIntash decides that the statues are probably not magical in and of themselves, so she casts the Shatter spell on one of the statues above Matsuo, so (assuming the statue is not magical) Matsuo-Thing will have to move the debris to get to the seal, and, hopefully, will jump backward to avoid the statue part falling.
[20:58] *** Note that if the statues are magical, nothing will happen.
[20:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] What do you mean "not in">
[20:58] <Eliza McIntash> I'll make sure this is put back together later...
[21:00] <spiritflame> Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[21:00] *** the statue DOES shatter....and lands on the ground SMASHING open the seal...and leaving a gaping hole in it's spot
[21:00] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] gives another smile....
[21:00] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] JUMPS down into the hole......
[21:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ...well.
[21:01] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] ....
[21:01] <Eliza McIntash> I'm INCREDIBLY surprised that the Statue was hollow, and weight less than 70 pounds all over. I figured it would just have an arm or part of the hair break off.
[21:01] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] does her best to put a bubble of spirit energy around her and jumps after him!
[21:01] * Eliza McIntash immediately jumps after him, too, she needs to fix what is wrong.
[21:02] *** you land..weirdly softly.......
[21:02] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] groans in frustration and JUMPS after Matsuo
[21:02] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] takes a quick look around
[21:02] *** the space is huge..and pitch black around you........however....
[21:03] *** there are a group of HUMONGIOUS abtract floating statues of women...four of them...in front of each is a glowing crystal..shaped rather like a Sailor Crystal...inside the center of the four...there is...darkness..like..absolute darkness........
[21:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] //squeak four planets; four senshi...
[21:04] <Eliza McIntash> You really need to get away from there.
[21:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Is this... the seal?
[21:04] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Are those... the Aegis?
[21:04] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] What the...?
[21:05] * Eliza McIntash says, trying to communicate speak with Matsuo, "You are going to wind up getting hurt. Stop this."
[21:05] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is standing in front of this display..looking up
[21:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Don't do anything stupid! You think you can control that, but I'd wager you can't!
[21:05] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] ...the shadow will reach out....through time and space.....the silver will never be born........
[21:06] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] the eightfold..the golden path..all shall be dust before dust
[21:06] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] To what end?!
[21:06] <Eliza McIntash> Are you actually trying to prevent something that has happened from happening?
[21:07] <Eliza McIntash> Am I misunderstanding? Are you actually trying to do that?
[21:07] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Obviiously. He wants to obliterate the Silver Millennoum
[21:07] <Eliza McIntash> That's very puzzling, because he's totally refused to say why, even when given the opportunity to do so.
[21:07] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] Is he really going to erase a fixed point in time?
[21:07] <Eliza McIntash> No. He won't.
[21:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Madmen don't consider such things.
[21:08] <Eliza McIntash> We don't even know if he is mad. He hasn't even explained what he's trying to do.
[21:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ...He just said it.
[21:08] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] points her blade ot the darkness in the centre
[21:09] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] he wants to release that back in time to destroy the Silver Millennium and all that followed.
[21:09] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Or am I wrong, Tulpa?
[21:09] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] says nothing but you can tell you're correct
[21:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Tch.
[21:10] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] the knowldege cannot be absued if it never existed
[21:10] * Eliza McIntash doesn't display any worry of frustration that her effort towards baiting him to keep talking has failed.
[21:10] <Eliza McIntash> ^_^
[21:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Now that's interesting.
[21:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Because you know that Knowledge comes from many sources, yeah?
[21:11] * ELIZA Mk I is here.
[21:11] * ELIZA Mk I was always here.
[21:11] *** ELIZA Mk I has joined #suburbansenshi2
[21:11] <@spiritflame> konbanwa ELIZA Mk I
[21:11] <ELIZA Mk I> (( I suddenly realized why my character wasn't already in the Aetherlands. ))
[21:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Even if you destroy one source, it doesn't mean it won't reappear.
[21:11] * ELIZA Mk I doesn't question Sakura.
[21:11] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] ...not if the events never happened
[21:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Listen to me.
[21:12] <ELIZA Mk I> Are you SURE that things would be better if that never happened? Have you tested it?
[21:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Reality rejects such crude meddling.
[21:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] You might cause untold damage but it will have its revenge.
[21:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] It will find a way to retaliate and deny you your prize.
[21:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Even if that means some force from beyind intruces to crate new events.
[21:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ^intrudes
[21:13] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] turns...and walks towards the four statues....
[21:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] That's why one doesn't just go around breaking fixed points in time!
[21:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] you have no idea what titanic forces you'd be calling up in response!
[21:14] <Matsuo Shin (Tulpa)> [Aetherlands] four maidens..slumbering....a seal.....
[21:14] * ELIZA Mk I rides over to the Tulpa, between him and the statues, and says. "Stop."
[21:14] <ELIZA Mk I> I have a proposition for you.
[21:15] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] is sounding frustrated. This isn't her universe... she has no... instinct for the flow
[21:15] <ELIZA Mk I> Let's test what would happen if you attempted this.
[21:15] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] has no idea if what's happening now is meant to be or an aberration
[21:15] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] looks to ELIZA...
[21:15] <ELIZA Mk I> It might be, possibly, that things would improve if you did this.
[21:15] <ELIZA Mk I> Why don't you stop. Just for a couple of minutes.
[21:15] <ELIZA Mk I> And we'll see what would happen.
[21:15] <ELIZA Mk I> You can always fight later.
[21:16] <ELIZA Mk I> I would point out that, if you are confident you can stop us, halting and finding out the truth shouldn't matter to you, because you should still win.
[21:16] <ELIZA Mk I> DO YOU believe you can win? ARE YOU sure of what would happen?
[21:16] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] looks around while they're talking to see if there's any way she can reinforce or protect the seal
[21:17] *** roll 1d10, ELIZA Mk I
[21:17] * ELIZA Mk I leans toward Matsuo Shin Tulpa. "Well?"
[21:17] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[21:17] <ELIZA Mk I> Come on. How about it? ^_^
[21:17] *** ELIZA, you can tell by his subtle movement...the tulpa is going to attack you...
[21:18] <ELIZA Mk I> ....
[21:18] * ELIZA Mk I doesn't move.
[21:18] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] goes to try and throw ELIZA
[21:18] * ELIZA Mk I is very very very VERY heavy.
[21:18] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is based off a Quinoxian....
[21:19] * ELIZA Mk I has moved to: [ Aetherlands ]
[21:19] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] tries to move past the three!
[21:20] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] closes her eyes and tries to mentally map this Tulpa, given her brain is structured like a War Games Era Time Lord, is she capable of competing with its level of mental energy
[21:20] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] DOES know how to wrestle and fight unarmed, and this body is ???? strong. If Matsuo tries to grab her, she tries to hold onto his arm with her arms and legs.
[21:20] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] will move to stay in front of Matsuo, if he doesn't grab her.
[21:20] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[21:20] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 13 ]
[21:21] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] Amamiya, what's a Tulpa?
[21:21] *** Sakura, you can see the level of energy that it is...imagine Matsuo Shin's psychic levels and it's the same amount...
[21:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] doesn't have a choicie but to try
[21:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] tries to mentally enclose the tulpa in a fist, unlocking all the restraints on her mental power
[21:22] * ^mental fist
[21:22] <spiritflame> Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[21:22] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] causes a feedback directly into Sakura's brain!
[21:22] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 4 ]
[21:23] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] SCREAMS in pain and is THROWN back by the force, knocked out!
[21:23] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] It seems that you have rendered the Time Lord I'm serves as companion to unconscious.
[21:24] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] You even did it before she could tell me what a Tulpa is.
[21:24] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] ....
[21:24] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] surveys this situation, and checks if Frey is okay.
[21:24] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] looks and sees if David is okay.
[21:24] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] tries to tackle the Tulpa while it's distracted

[21:25] * Frey [Aetherlands] tries to make a surprise attack and BITES down on the tulpa's wrist!
[21:25] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is TACKLED to the ground..but also squishes Frey in the process
[21:26] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[21:26] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] is already back up, albeit a bit dizzy
[21:26] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] quickly tries to punch the Tulpa squarely in the face while it's down
[21:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] That's... pretty damn powerful
[21:26] <spiritflame> Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[21:26] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] Amamiya! I'm so glad you were okay. I thought I was going to have to try to resolve this situation.
[21:27] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is STRUCK hard enough that part of it's jaw shatters and falls off....
[21:27] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] You even got knocked down before you answered what a Tulpa was!
[21:27] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] OH! And now somebody has been hurt...
[21:27] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] A thought-form!
[21:27] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] starts to drag itself towarsd the four statues......
[21:27] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] .....
[21:27] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] Can we make thought-forms here?
[21:27] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] It's a thought-form given independent autonomous life
[21:27] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Well obviously someone can?
[21:27] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] points to the Tulpa
[21:27] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] That's all I needed to hear.
[21:28] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] tries to grab the Tulpa and throw it AWAY from the statues
[21:28] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] starts thinking, as hard as she can, as determinedly as she can, as tenderly as she can, as fanatically as she can, about Chateaux Concierge.
[21:28] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] shakes her head, impressed that someone was able to shake her off like nothing at her full power
[21:29] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] thinks of Chateaux in all her forms, and all her capability, and in all her mercy and power and aspects and sagacity and curiosity and pique and sardonicness.
[21:29] <spiritflame> Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) rolls 1d10 [ 4 ]
[21:29] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is THROWN away from the statues
[21:29] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] can see Eliza is up to something so doeesn't follow her next inclination which is to try and desirupt thought-activity in the area.
[21:30] <Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (( Are you trying to make a Chat Tulpa? ))
[21:30] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] thinks of Chateaux in a body created by her to fully picture her, and a brain built to have no distractions, and with a soul that blazes with desire to see her again...
[21:30] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] slowly stands......it looks very much more like a walking doll of Matsuo now then anything......natural
[21:30] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] is growling at the Tulpa as he begins to form a ball of energy in his hand
[21:30] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] is doing that exact thing.
[21:30] * Frey [Aetherlands] is knocked the f[BLEEP]k out @_@
[21:30] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] I will not let you destroy the Silver Millennium!
[21:31] <Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (( GM what say ye ))
[21:31] <ELIZA Mk I> (( Yes, that's what Eliza is trying to do. ))
[21:32] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] thinks of Chateaux with all her love and all her loyalty and all her longing and all her respect and gratitude that is carved ineffably within her...
[21:32] *** roll 1d10 to see if you can create a successful tulpa
[21:32] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[21:33] *** YOU SUCCEED
[21:33] <Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (( i think, Eliza,m you should play what you have summoned as it would have to reflect your unqiue conception of her ))
[21:34] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] nods slowly, thinking... give me a second.
[21:34] <ELIZA Mk I> (( ^^ ))
[21:35] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] starts to move towards ELIZA...trying to take advantage of the time she's taking...
[21:36] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] rushes in to tackle Matsuo and buy Eliza some time
[21:36] *** Grand, beautiful, echoing cello music starts playing, and the area around ELIZA Mk I starts to turn a familiar shade of blue...
[21:36] *** roll 1d10, Sakura
[21:36] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[21:37] *** The ground shakes, and the blue coalesces, slowly, patchily, into a MASSIVE, TOWERING, form that seems infinitely tall when one stands beneath it...
[21:37] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] keeps moving but is dragging Sakura along now
[21:37] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] JAMS her blade intot he ground to try and pin them in place
[21:37] *** A huge hand, made out of blue light, lifts Matsuo, and Sakura, and Frey, and David, and everything else.
[21:37] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ....Wuuuuhhh?
[21:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] makes sure to keep hold of her blasde
[21:38] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is lifted up.....
[21:38] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] What the...?
[21:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] what fresh hell is this
[21:39] *** Reality shakes, and there's a sound of soft hissing mixed with clocks ticking, and the cello music turns ominous, and bands of blue light, the color of Chateaux's eyes, extend and wrap themselves around the hostile Tulpa, not painfully, but tightly and inexorably, and getting thicker and thicker to restrict movement and fighting and everything else.
[21:39] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is trapped by chat....
[21:40] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is absolutly trapped....it can't move....congrats, everyone. You've won
[21:40] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] surely it can't be that simple. :/
[21:41] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] doesn't drop her guard
[21:41] *** The entrapment continues---it doesn't hurt, or restrict breathing, but the bindings grow and resonate with the manifestation of certainty itself, and they wrap around the tulpa, and around the tulpa, trapping it and binding it deep within, until it is, seemingly, gone.
[21:41] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] knows a being of MIND is not limited to movement
[21:41] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] waits for its inevitable counter
[21:41] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] actually has a tear in her eye. T_T
[21:41] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] does nothing
[21:42] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is trapped..it'd mind can't do anything
[21:42] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] looks ot the seal between the statues
[21:42] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Let's say for the moment we have it bound....
[21:42] *** roll 1d10, Sakura
[21:42] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[21:43] *** you're still a bit dizzy from eariler so your eyesight isn't perfect but as far as you can tell. there's nothing wrong with the seal...
[21:43] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] takes a look at the statues and checks for any sort of damage
[21:43] *** the statues are floating above you...so there can't be any damage
[21:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ...how do we get that thing away from here, contained permanently, and how do we get home?
[21:44] *** The Chateaux Tulpa's grip turns soporific, and the Tulpa feels almost as though it is being walled off from consciousness as well as movement, utterly unable to hurt anyone, including itself, it is held inexorably, and indefinitely. The Chateaux-Tulpa fizzles with flaws, but it's ability to hold a being and contain them absolutely has been imagined flawlessly.
[21:44] *** roll 1d10, David
[21:44] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Assuming that the whole point was to protect that seal and keep it from gettingbreached.
[21:44] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is trapped for good apperently....
[21:44] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] checks on Frey
[21:45] * Frey [Aetherlands] is knocked out still
[21:45] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] does her best to rouse him
[21:45] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] ^_^

[21:46] * Frey [Aetherlands] bliniks and looks around
[21:46] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[21:46] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] smiles blissfully, as though she's having a transcendent, religious experience.
[21:46] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d10 [ 4 ]
[21:46] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] Whew. The statues seem to be intact
[21:46] <Frey> [Aetherlands] .......it..I've been here before.......in my dreams....
[21:47] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is smiling
[21:47] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] doesn't comment, she is smiling too.
[21:47] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Tell me everything you remember. It culd be vitally important.
[21:47] <Frey> [Aetherlands] just the statues..the darkness...the jewels...I don't know it means nothing to me!!!!
[21:48] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is. smiling.
[21:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] This is going to sound stupid.
[21:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] What... does your heart say about all this?
[21:48] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] How do you Feel about it?
[21:48] <Frey> [Aetherlands] just........that it's dangerous
[21:49] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] is a bit unnerved by the Tulpa
[21:49] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] We should leave this place and try to seal it off.
[21:49] <Frey> [Aetherlands] ...hey isn't anyone going to talk about how creepy that one armed thing is
[21:50] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] tilts her head
[21:50] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] The one-armed thing?
[21:50] <Frey> [Aetherlands] yeah the one that looks like Prince Matsuo
[21:50] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] It's a Tulpa
[21:50] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] And it's hella creepy.
[21:51] *** Sakura, roll 1d10 for intution
[21:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Wait.
[21:51] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[21:51] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] shakes that off
[21:51] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] checks on the Tulpa
[21:51] *** ....the peinforte linagate apperently isn't very bright
[21:51] *** *liniage
[21:51] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] checks if the animus is still there
[21:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] was ahead of of you, purple ass
[21:52] *** what animus?
[21:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] means the Tulpa... it's driving force
[21:52] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] still is...
[21:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] is suddenly concerned it may have slipped them and left this behind
[21:52] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is sitting there trapped...................
[21:52] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] ...and missing one arm
[21:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ...F[BLEEP]k
[21:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] Where's the other arm?
[21:53] * Frey [Aetherlands] looks down and ears droop
[21:53] <Frey> [Aetherlands] ...you're all idiots aren' tyou....
[21:53] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] continues her concentration, and the room lights up with more blue light, and more, and more, and more.
[21:53] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] sighs she's seen enloigh Army of Darkness to know where this is going
[21:53] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] hops down to to where the Deal is
[21:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ^Seal

[21:54] *** the seal suddenly lights up..........
[21:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] YabaiYabaiYabai~
[21:55] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] Jumps back
[21:55] *** the four statues...the eyes suddenly glow as a group of senshi signts slight up on it....followed by the sailor crystals lighting up
[21:55] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] This is bad this is bad this is bad
[21:55] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] wordlessy laughs...
[21:55] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] Oh s[BLEEP]t no...
[21:55] *** the Sailor Crystals suddenly vanish..........and the statues crash to the ground.....
[21:56] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] runs to dodge the crashing statues
[21:56] *** the dark.....thing..is still.....and then suddenly starts to slow spread outward............
[21:56] <Frey> [Aetherlands] WEREN'T YOU KEEPING YOUR EYE ON THAT THING
[21:56] *** The Cello music changes, and the blue bands crush Matsuo-Tulpa.
[21:56] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] YES AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM
[21:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] I DIDN'T NOTICE WHEN IT DROPPED AN ARM BECAUSE I WAS TOO FOCUSED ON ITS GURNING FACE
[21:58] * Matsuo Shin (Tulpa) [Aetherlands] is CRUSHED but still laughing....making a dry snapping sound.....
[21:58] *** the dark void sweeps down................and starts to latch onto the Chat Tulpa......eating away at it
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] We need to get out of here!
[21:59] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] HEY! LESS ARGUING AND MORE FIGURING S[BLEEP]T OUT LIKE HOW TO STOP THAT!
[21:59] <Frey> [Aetherlands] HOW!?
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] The Sailor Crystals, where are they!?
[21:59] *** the only hole btw..the only exit.....is MILES above your head...
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] From the statues?
[21:59] *** The Chat Tulpa is absolutely massive, and seemingly endless. Even as it begins vanishing, it is still both potent and enormous.
[21:59] <Frey> [Aetherlands] they vanished!
[21:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Aetherlands] ELIZA GIVE US A LIFT
[22:00] *** the void keeps moving..and......
[22:00] *** the exit is gone
[22:00] *** The Chateaux-Tulpa picks up Eliza first, and then Sakura Amamiya Peinforte, and then Frey and David, and lifts them.
[22:00] <Frey> [Aetherlands] KEEP AWAY KEEP AWAY KEEP AW-
[22:00] * Frey [Aetherlands] is absorbed..and gone
[22:01] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] unsheathes her sword and attempts cut space-time itself to rip a hole fo rthem to get back to antarctica
[22:01] *** Brilliant blue light arcs against the void, and bizarre visions are seen within it and beyond the former hole--a prison cell, a stacked pile of supplies, a waterspout, a crystal, a flaming hellscape...
[22:01] *** roll 1d10, Sakura
[22:01] <spiritflame> @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[22:01] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] Chateaux.... please usher us away from here. Thank you for everything. I love you. ^_^
[22:02] *** the void draws back for a moment.........................but it keeps moving forward.........
[22:02] *** The Chateaux-Tulpa seizes the void and fights it with the mental incarnation of absolute resilience and indomitability---at 90% strength.
[22:03] *** ELIZA and David..roll 1d10
[22:03] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[22:03] <spiritflame> Capt. David O`Cain rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[22:03] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] 's certainty absolutely never wavers, even as flickers of the Chateaux-tulpa wink out like obscured of flaring stars. She never stops smiling.
[22:04] *** David, before you can react..the void surrounds you.....and you're gone
[22:04] *** ELIZA....you're holding out just well enough but....the void absorbs you too........
[22:04] *** Sakura..you're standing..surrouded by this...void thing
[22:05] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] is wrapped in a familiar blue light before this happens.

[22:06] *** the void is creeping every closer
[22:07] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Aetherlands] tries to cut speace-time around the void to cut IT out of this reality

[22:13] *** David..you come to first............and find yourself...a floating crystaline diamond..glowing with multiple colors
[22:13] * Capt. David O`Cain [Aetherlands] slowly sits up and gathers his senses
[22:14] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] is not afraid. Her heightened perspective, software that suppresses negative emotion, and her vivid faith in her adoptive TARDIS means that the resultant manifestation of her unlimited vision of what Chateaux can do to help her, is absolute, at least to her.
[22:14] *** Sakura..you come to next.....and find yourself....well your body....made up winding branches and sakura pedels..your arm partially made up of your blade
[22:14] *** David..you can't really sit up..you're a diamond
[22:14] *** ELIZA...you find....that you're actually out of the armor
[22:14] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] isn't in armor, it's a robotic body.
[22:15] *** Eliza you also find yourself a small child version of yourself..wearing a white toga...
[22:15] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] looks around for Chateaux.
[22:15] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 1 ]
[22:15] * ELIZA Mk I is now known as Eliza McIntosh
[22:15] <Frey> [Aetherlands] what the six...
[22:15] * Eliza McIntosh has moved to: [ Aetherlands ]
[22:15] * Frey [Aetherlands] is in humanoid form..but his skin is glowing blue...with starlights in them...
[22:16] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] Hiiiiii! Hello everyone!
[22:16] * @ has moved to: [ Aetherlands ]
[22:16] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntosh rolls 1d10 [ 4 ]

[22:16] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntosh rolls 1d20 [ 7 ]
[22:16] *** all of you are floating in a bubble of blue light..made from Eliza's will
[22:16] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [aetherlands] observes her arm curiously
[22:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [aetherlands] fascinating...
[22:17] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] Hi everyone. I guess I never told you that I'm an onieromancer, did I?
[22:17] *** Sakura..one of your arms is your sword..
[22:17] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [aetherlands] tests if she can still use it
[22:17] *** you can, Sakura!!!
[22:17] <Frey> [Aetherlands] ...I think this is our inner selves...
[22:17] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] ...or that I can read dreams? And visit them? And that I can use magic in here after all? :D
[22:17] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] Oh this is just fantastic...
[22:17] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [aetherlands] takes this in stride for now
[22:17] <Frey> [Aetherlands] our astral spirits
[22:17] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] It is, isn't it! ^_^
[22:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [aetherlands] We're not dead yet. that's something, at least.
[22:18] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] Well, of course we are not--Chateaux helped us.
[22:18] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] I cannot wait to see her again.
[22:18] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntosh rolls 1d20 [ 12 ]
[22:19] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] The only thing I'm worried about is that we aren't alone in here?
[22:19] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [aetherlands] smiles at her a bit
[22:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [aetherlands] Explain
[22:19] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] Because, before Chateaux worked on me, I had other personas inside me?
[22:19] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands] And not all of them are nice?
[22:19] * Eliza McIntosh has moved to: [ Aetherlands, Little Kid ]
[22:20] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] Do you like my hospital gown? Chateaux made it for me! :D
[22:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [aetherlands] Well look at it this way, this might be a bit of radical therapy
[22:20] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] So, if this is our astral spirits, Frey, how come I don't have a body like you guys do?
[22:20] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] So was my other body! ^_^
[22:20] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntosh rolls 1d20 [ 12 ]
[22:20] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] I wonder if we have silver cords now.
[22:20] <Frey> [Aetherlands] ..probably cause that's what your spirit is like
[22:21] *** you DO have silver cords..........
[22:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] There's also a possibility that we might meet other beings here. There ARE civilizations that live in the Astral plane. I think?
[22:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [aetherlands] Eliza are your other personalities still with you?
[22:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] Oh.
[22:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] This IS the astral.
[22:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] It is it is IT IS!
[22:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] I think that is good!
[22:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] Did you know that... is the Astral plane adjacent to all other planes?
[22:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] ....and are TARDISes their own planes?

[22:26] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] Miss Sakura---I mean Miss Amamiya, do you have any more chocolate? :D
[22:26] *** the walls zoom out.........to reveal that they're a blank empty eyes..on a smooth white face....which you're still standing in...while it zooms out for you to see at the same time

[22:33] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [aetherlands] STOP YELLING AND FOCUS!
[22:33] <Eliza McIntosh> [Aetherlands, Little Kid] It depends on whether or not that mouth is a mouth, or a... pretend mouth... or is just an idea of a mouth, because if it is....

[22:35] * Eliza McIntosh [Aetherlands, Little Kid] knows the spell Open/Close. A cantrip. An orison. A stepping stone, in the real world. But also a concept. A boolean dichotomy. Open. But also--- Close. Two ideas. Universal ideas. Powerful ideas. Undiluted ideas.

[22:38] * Eliza McIntosh [Aetherlands, Little Kid] uses CLOSE
[22:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [aetherlands] I am going to hit you with a blast from my blade
[22:38] *** the light BURNS through the void..not the light itself..the CONCEPT of the blade
[22:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [aetherlands] I want to you reflect it at that thing.
[22:39] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Aetherlands] Um, I can try.

[22:55] *** Eliza, you're not in the robot body
[22:55] *** Sakura you can't sit up
[22:55] * Eliza McIntosh [Aetherlands, Little Kid] doesn't try to sit up. She likes being pampered and taken care of. ^_^
[22:56] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [aetherlands] looks to see if she's bound

[22:57] *** there are quick cuts to Sakura, working hands, lips, close up of eyes.....((you are paraylzed))
[22:58] * Matsumi walks over to Sakura
[22:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] (The moth has some cultural significance to them)
[22:58] *** there is a shot of Matsumi but done with a negative filter with the sun behind her
[22:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] observes her calmly, not struggling, but trying to will her body to move / heal

[22:59] * Eliza McIntosh [???] relaxes, not trying to move yet.
[22:59] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] braces for anything
[23:00] * Matsumi raises the knife above her head..and PLUNGES it into Sakura's heart and cuts down!

[23:19] <Ilmater> [?] ...the pocket universe it lays in...is in the midst of collapse....
[23:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] From the thing we were fighting?
[23:19] <Ilmater> [?] a great cancer is eating away at it...
[23:19] * Ilmater [?] shakes her head
[23:19] <Ilmater> [?] there are otehrs with greater plans then simply that
[23:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] (Wonderful. Something else)
[23:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Is it still possible to stop this... "cancer?"
[23:20] <Ilmater> [?] there is......
[23:20] <Ilmater> [?] but there are great dangers....the lands are poisoned
[23:20] <Ilmater> [?] you will need the blood of my children to keep you safe
[23:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] tilts her head
[23:21] <Capt. David O`Cain> [???] Poisoned? How?
[23:21] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Your children?
[23:21] *** another young woman walks past, yawning and flops herself down, crawling towards a small stash of drinks....
[23:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [???] Chateaux...?
[23:21] <Ilmater> [?] Cibel! we have guests here!
[23:21] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] observes this woman as she listens
[23:21] <Eliza McIntosh> [???] Please...

[23:22] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntosh rolls 1d20 [ 3 ]
[23:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] I don't think you'd find Chat in the realm between life and death.
[23:22] <Ilmater> [?] as I was saying....
[23:22] * Eliza McIntosh [???] closes her eyes, and her fists, and says, "The things I saw when I was alive... can they affect me here?"
[23:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] (She's usually the one sending people here)
[23:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] I don't know.
[23:23] <Capt. David O`Cain> [???] Er, go ahead, your majesty.
[23:23] <Ilmater> [?] my children can survive the bane of our enemies beyond what you can
[23:23] <Eliza McIntosh> [???] The new body... kept it from getting to me... I'm... seeing it all at once... T_T
[23:23] <Eliza McIntosh> [???] Please answer me.
[23:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Is there any way we can borrow this power?
[23:24] * Ilmater [?] looks to David
[23:24] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] is sympathetic to Eliza's plight but she needs to focus on the current emergency
[23:24] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntosh rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[23:24] * Eliza McIntosh [???] vomits blood onto the table, and her form fades slightly.
[23:24] <Ilmater> [?] Young O'Cain has a copy of the energies of my people...it is imperfect..but it can help in a little bit
[23:25] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] (Assuming we can even get back from the edge, that is)
[23:25] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] looks over at Eliza
[23:25] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] (What is it, is the Phylactery not reaching her here or what)
[23:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] So David would need to be our shield
[23:26] * Cibel nibbles at a bag of chips
[23:26] * Ilmater [?] nods
[23:26] <Ilmater> [?] and of course...you can take along our young son
[23:26] * Ilmater [?] looks to Frey..who freezes up again
[23:27] <Capt. David O`Cain> [???] (looks at his right hand) The Quinox Ugrade...
[23:27] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Frey has been very helpful :)
[23:27] * Frey [?] tries not to blush at this
[23:27] <Ilmater> [?] he has gone through much...which i am sorry for
[23:28] <Eliza McIntosh> [???] I think I'm dying.
[23:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Eliza, wwe
[23:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] We're all on the edge right now.
[23:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Try to stay on this side of it.
[23:29] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntosh rolls 1d20 [ 8 ]
[23:29] * Eliza McIntosh [???] suddenly gets a wild, dangerous look in her eyes.
[23:29] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] ...
[23:29] * Ilmater [?] just..sends Eliza away
[23:30] * Eliza McIntosh [???] leaps up, staggers, and shouts, "Mifune Ryo Kempo!" Nothing happens... and then she is gone.
[23:30] * Eliza McIntosh is away 
[23:30] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] ...is she... dead?
[23:30] <Ilmater> [?] no
[23:30] <Ilmater> [?] she was more alive then the rest of you

[23:33] <Ilmater> [?] and only the star can light the path outward
[23:33] <Cibel> do you ahve to say it in riddles?

[23:33] * Ilmater [?] glances over as a phone rings
[23:33] * Ilmater [?] gets up and answers it
[23:33] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] (That girl does have a point <_<)
[23:33] <Ilmater> [?] yes?
[23:33] <Ilmater> [?] ....yes

[23:35] <Ilmater> [?] Sakura
[23:35] <Ilmater> [?] remember this
[23:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Yes?
[23:35] * Ilmater [?] traces a symbol in the air
[23:35] <Capt. David O`Cain> [???] Grim? Hah. Figures he picked up something was wrong.
[23:35] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] observes the symbol
[23:36] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] commits it to memory, including stroke order
[23:36] <Ilmater> [?] the symbol is the key to unlock light
[23:36] * Capt. David O`Cain [???] patiently waits for Ilmater to be done with Sakura

[23:37] <Capt. David O`Cain> [???] Yes, your majesty?
[23:37] * Ilmater [?] holds out a hand..and four glowing orbs of light zoome out and are absorbed in your hand, David
[23:38] *** David, you've recived the Hyperia, Thalia, Tyche and Phaeton upgrades!!!
[23:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] (There are four lights...)
[23:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] intuits the nature of the upgrades
[23:38] * Capt. David O`Cain [???] shudders for a moment as the for orbs absorb into him
[23:39] * Capt. David O`Cain [???] ^four
[23:39] <Ilmater> [?] Sakura
[23:39] <Ilmater> [?] give me your sword
[23:39] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] carefully presents The Divine Sword "Kunisada" to Ilmater, hilt first
[23:39] * Ilmater [?] looks over the sword
[23:40] * Ilmater [?] runs the blade along her palm...the blade glows briefly
[23:40] * Ilmater [?] hands the blade back
[23:40] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] takes it with gratitude
[23:41] *** Sakura, the Kunisada can now perform a "Astral Slice". Once at any series of turns in an event, you can slice through the astral form of an individual without harming them physically
[23:41] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] I thank you for this boon.
[23:42] <Capt. David O`Cain> [???] I...I thank you, your majesty. I did all I could to stop that...thing from breaking the seal.
[23:42] * Ilmater [?] looks to Frey and smiles
[23:43] * Ilmater [?] gently places her forehead against Frey's....his signet glows....
[23:43] * Ilmater [?] gives Frey the ability to Astral slip..he can now travel for brief distances in the astral plane
[23:45] <Ilmater> [?] consider this..an apology..for all you went through, my son
[23:45] <Frey> [?] I..i am honored
[23:46] * Ilmater [?] hears a knock at the door and walking over, opens it
[23:47] <Grim> Evening, Ilmater.
[23:47] * Grim gives Ilmater a polite bow
[23:48] <Ilmater> [?] hello Grim!
[23:49] <Ilmater> [?] I think they're ready to go back to the real world
[23:49] * Frey [?] looks...unsure at the grim reaper
[23:49] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] is fascinated
[23:50] <Grim> Glad they wound up in your caring hands. (looks in) Hmmm. Shouldn't there be four of them?
[23:50] <Ilmater> [?] I sent the other one back early...they were still alive enough
[23:51] <Grim> Ah, makes sense.
[23:52] <Ilmater> [?] so take them back while they can...i mean............they're not in the best of shapes back in the real world
[23:52] <Frey> [?] wait what..
[23:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Eh
[23:52] <Ilmater> [?] remember that symbol, Sakura!
[23:52] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] I will!
[23:53] <Capt. David O`Cain> [???] Wonderful...returning battered and bruised...
[23:53] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Better than not returning at all.
[23:54] * Grim looks at David, "Well, not the first time you've had that happen."
[23:54] <Ilmater> [?] take care!
[23:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Thank you again your majesty!
[23:54] <Cibel> yeah bye bye
[23:54] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [???] waves to the other one whose name she does not know
[23:54] <Grim> Come on, you three! You've got a system to save!
[23:54] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [???] Right
[23:55] * Frey [?] nods
[23:55] *** the hotel suite is suddenly gone...........
[23:56] *** replaced by the howling antartica landscape just outside the entrance to the city..it's BLISTERING cold.....
[23:56] <Capt. David O`Cain> [???] Thank you...you're majesty...
[23:56] *** Eliza is probably nearby in the robot form
[23:56] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has moved to: [ Antarctica ]
[23:56] <Frey> [?] GAAAH..HELL....
[23:56] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] is not bothered by cold
[23:56] * Capt. David O`Cain has moved to: [ Antartica ]
[23:56] * Frey has moved to: [ Antartica ]
[23:56] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] 's physical condition is?
[23:56] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartica] Lovely. Round two of the biting cold...
[23:57] *** the sky above you is BOILING crimson..with flashes of black lightening....
[23:57] *** you all are in various forms of frost bite and cold..some bruises...
[23:57] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] groans and sits up, forcing herself to her feet
[23:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] takes in her surroundings
[23:58] <Frey> [Antartica] gah my paws are frozen!
[23:58] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] can be seen a little ways away, looking off silently into the distance. She immediately turns her head when the others move and speak.
[23:58] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartica] sits up, "Owie..."
[23:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Eliza!
[23:58] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] Hello everyone! ^_^
[23:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Have you got that other recall disc?
[23:58] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] waves for her
[23:59] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] Yes! It would have been unfortunate if it had been activated as we confronted that creature.
[23:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Everyone grab onto Eliza's suit
[23:59] <ELIZA Mk I> [Aetherlands] Here, let me help you all up, since I'm uninjured and in no pain. ^_^
[23:59] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] takes hold of it under her own power
[00:00] * ELIZA Mk I [Aetherlands] looks really cheery, and there is no sign of the mannerisms of dread and the certainty of death from before.
[00:00] * ELIZA Mk I has moved to: [ Antarctica ]
[00:00] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartica] gets up and takes a hold of Eliza's suit
[00:00] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctica] 's body is undamaged, and she is, seemingly, totally fine. ^_^
[00:00] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte [Antarctica] gathers up Frey

[00:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] Press it
[00:00] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartica] So, back to the Hotel or somewhere else?
[00:00] <ELIZA Mk I> [Antarctica] OK! ^_^
[00:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] the disc will only take us back to the HOTEL
[00:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] that
[00:01] * Capt. David O`Cain [Antartica] nods
[00:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> [Antarctica] that's how it's keyed
[00:01] * ELIZA Mk I [Antarctica] obeys the Time Lord's instruction, and activates the Recall.
[00:02] *** the recall device transports you directly to the hotel!!!
[00:02] <Capt. David O`Cain> [Antartica] Ugh, I just know I'll be feeling sore in the morning.
[00:02] <The Voyager> HUH WHAT
[00:02] *** @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has moved back to the Atrium
[00:02] *** Capt. David O`Cain has moved back to the Atrium
[00:03] * The Voyager nearly falls out of her chair as the four show up out of nowhere
[00:03] * Frey has moved to: [ ]
[00:03] *** ELIZA Mk I has moved back to the Atrium
[00:03] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Wha--whoah!

[00:03] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte faceplants
[00:03] <Capt. David O`Cain> Hey.
[00:03] * ELIZA Mk I turns to the other people on the team. "Are you all okay?"
[00:03] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte weakly raises a hand "got some tea?"
[00:04] * ELIZA Mk I turns to Sakura Amamiya Peinforte, specifically, and says, "Mission Accomplished?"
[00:04] * Det. Ema Skye gets Sakura some Red Tea and checks on everyone
[00:04] * Capt. David O`Cain plops down on an empty seat on a sofa
[00:04] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte gives Eliza a weak thumbs up
[00:04] * Frey 's paws are frozen
[00:04] * Det. Ema Skye gets Frey to the EMH for treatment
[00:04] * ELIZA Mk I nods and smiles at Sakura's affirmation, and after that, she just stays still, not showing emotions at all.
[00:05] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte forces herself up and onto a couch, sipping the tea to refuel
[00:05] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has prepared the EMH with loads of emergency and medical equipment that don't need the EMH or Chateaux's influence to operate, in preparation for this eventuality.

[00:05] <The Voyager> what's going on??
[00:05] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well...
[00:06] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> We stopped one evil from entering the universe and in the process got back the ... wait... who are you?
[00:06] * Det. Ema Skye comes back from the EMH
[00:06] <ELIZA Mk I> ....
[00:06] * ELIZA Mk I listens to the Time Lords speaking.
[00:06] <Det. Ema Skye> That's the Voyager. She's here to help.
[00:06] <ELIZA Mk I> ....
[00:07] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte takes it in stride. "Yeah we stopped one evil and got back the four missing planets. But apparently that doesn't solve whatever... *gestures around them* is happening now."
[00:07] <Capt. David O`Cain> I...think I'll stay at the family suite for tonight...Oh crap. Masaki's gonna be giving me a piece of her mind later. I just know it.
[00:07] <The Voyager> wait you waht!?
[00:08] * The Voyager runs over and scans the solar system
[00:08] <Det. Ema Skye> ....Are you telling me there was SOMETHING ELSE EVIL going on and it wasn't RELATED TO THIS!?
[00:08] <The Voyager> .............
[00:08] <The Voyager> they are back
[00:08] <The Voyager> the four planets are tehre
[00:08] <ELIZA Mk I> ....
[00:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Well cosmologiccally everything's connected.
[00:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> So in that sense it was neccessary. We came back with some skills that might help you here.
[00:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> David Especially.
[00:09] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> It looks like the Quinoxians are knee-deep in all this.
[00:09] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah we figures that out too.
[00:09] * Det. Ema Skye exhales "Whew I am glad you're back."
[00:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> You don't say that like it's just about my personal safety.
[00:10] <Capt. David O`Cain> Oh right. We had a meeting with...(looks at Sakura) Should I say it?
[00:10] <Det. Ema Skye> You don't know what it's been like.
[00:10] <Det. Ema Skye> I can
[00:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Can't hurt.
[00:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Go ahead David.
[00:10] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm so glad to pass the baton to you.
[00:11] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte intuits what Ema means.
[00:11] <ELIZA Mk I> ...
[00:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...No, Don't think so.
[00:11] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Huh?
[00:11] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'll help you, but... looks to me like you've been doing a great job here.
[00:11] * ELIZA Mk I just listens, and looks back and forth.
[00:12] <Capt. David O`Cain> Alright. We had a meeting with Queen Ilmater who gave us skills and powers to wield.
[00:12] <Det. Ema Skye> Great? I've been stretched so thin~!
[00:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> But you didn't break, detective.
[00:12] <The Voyager> Ilmater?...I've heard of her yeah
[00:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> And you won't break.
[00:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> We've got your back now.
[00:12] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Don't stop before the finish line.
[00:13] * ELIZA Mk I blinks.
[00:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Or you'll always regret it.
[00:13] * Capt. David O`Cain decides to revert back to civilian form
[00:13] <Det. Ema Skye> (I just want a vacation T_T)
[00:13] * Capt. David O`Cain is now known as David O`Cain
[00:13] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte smiles reassutingly at Ema Skye
[00:13] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> You got this.
[00:13] * David O`Cain looks over to Voyager, "Is that so?"
[00:14] * Det. Ema Skye can't help but smile back even if she feels so worn out.
[00:14] <Det. Ema Skye> Right.
[00:14] * ELIZA Mk I just listens, and looks back and forth at those who speak. "....."
[00:14] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> So, detective, what's the status?
[00:15] <Det. Ema Skye> Eldritch creatures are everywhere. They seem to be weak to ancient Quinoxian sigils we discovered.
[00:15] * ELIZA Mk I walks silently over to Sakura Amamiya Peinforte. "......"
[00:15] <Det. Ema Skye> Some being of darkness emerged from Mugen possibly as early as 7 months ago and set all this in motion.
[00:15] * ELIZA Mk I stands behind Sakura Amamiya Peinforte. "..."
[00:16] * David O`Cain turns his head to look at Ema, "Oh fan-f[BLEEP]king-tastic."
[00:16] <Det. Ema Skye> an avatar of Nyarlathotep.
[00:17] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Quinoxian sigl. you say...
[00:17] <David O`Cain> Who?
[00:17] <The Voyager> an Outer God
[00:17] <Det. Ema Skye> Matsumi is trapped in Mugen and possibly hurt. We need to get her back. She might be the key to all this.
[00:17] <Det. Ema Skye> Solar and others are going to help us raid Mugen soon.
[00:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Obviously we will as well.
[00:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ....Matsumi...
[00:18] <ELIZA Mk I> .....
[00:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Definitely the Quinox connection is strong.
[00:18] <David O`Cain> Indeed.
[00:18] *** Did The Voyager pick up the remote to Liza Sunrise-Suminaka's suit that was left for her? Y/N?
[00:18] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Nyarlathotep is an outer god.
[00:19] <ELIZA Mk I> ....
[00:19] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I don't think we'd be able to fight one head on.
[00:19] *** Y
[00:19] <Det. Ema Skye> Agreed. The plan is we try to close whatever door she opened.
[00:19] <Det. Ema Skye> And hopefully put her back on the other side of it.
[00:20] *** The remote shows a medical alert, and also a proximity warning---the Castle Mk LVI---and it's occupant, are closing at high speed.
[00:20] <ELIZA Mk I> ....
[00:20] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> The things you miss when you take an Antarctic vacation!
[00:20] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte laughs
[00:20] * Det. Ema Skye laughs too, despite the gravity of it all
[00:20] * ELIZA Mk I shows no emotion.
[00:20] <Det. Ema Skye> Voayger, did I miss anything?
[00:21] <The Voyager> no..no I think you got it all
[00:21] <Det. Ema Skye> Whew. It was a lot to keep track of
[00:21] <David O`Cain> Well, I don't know about you lovely ladies but I'm gonna go rest. I have a feeling I need it after all the s[BLEEP]t I went through.
[00:22] <ELIZA Mk I> ...
[00:22] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Night David, rest up, we're going to be relying on you to keep our arses safe out there.
[00:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sees the Evidence board Ema made to replace the destroyed whiteboard she had been working on with Lily
[00:22] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is impressed
[00:22] * David O`Cain gently and carefully stands up, then takes the elevator to the 10th floor
[00:23] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...Do you mind? *looks to Ema*
[00:23] *** The sound of a jet engine noise can be heard, by the very astute only, but it gradually grows louder.
[00:23] <Det. Ema Skye> Go ahead
[00:23] * ELIZA Mk I silently watches Sakura Amamiya Peinforte.
[00:23] <ELIZA Mk I> ....
[00:23] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte adds in some bits about what they discovered in Antarctica.
[00:23] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has left #suburbansenshi2 (Mom? Dad? I'm bunking out for tonight.)
[00:24] * ELIZA Mk I approaches Sakura Amamiya Peinforte, but doesn't disturb her arrangement of the evidence.
[00:24] <ELIZA Mk I> ...
[00:24] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte sees her
[00:24] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes, Eliza?
[00:25] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte finishes up and turns to talk to her
[00:25] * ELIZA Mk I answers in a HAL-like voice. "Are you done? I didn't want to disturb you. I was honored to be your companion. Are you finished with the wrap up? If so, I have a question."
[00:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I am done, and thanks, it was wonderful having you along, and go shead, what's the question?
[00:26] <ELIZA Mk I> I'm very glad.
[00:26] <ELIZA Mk I> I just wanted to bring something to your attention, however?
[00:26] *** The sound of a jet engine grows significantly louder.
[00:26] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yeah?
[00:27] <ELIZA Mk I> I cannot hear Chateaux.
[00:27] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Odd
[00:27] <The Voyager> we had to take her offline
[00:27] <Det. Ema Skye> She's offline for now.
[00:27] <ELIZA Mk I> I cannot see her either. I have no interface.
[00:27] <The Voyager> she was in danger of being corrupted
[00:27] <Det. Ema Skye> To prevent the corruption a--- yeah
[00:27] <ELIZA Mk I> Did you say she's offline?
[00:27] <The Voyager> for now
[00:27] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah. Not dead or anything.
[00:27] <ELIZA Mk I> Might I ask, please, what type of corruption this form might take?
[00:27] <The Voyager> the hotel's base systems are still operating though
[00:28] *** The jet engine gets louder. It's coming from a hallway, not overhead.
[00:28] <The Voyager> malifictions..it would cause her to be more aggresive..trying to kill others...
[00:28] <Det. Ema Skye> Errors, making her see things, react incorrectly, stuff like tha.t
[00:28] <ELIZA Mk I> Ah. How about that.
[00:28] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (This is different from her every day how exactly)
[00:29] <ELIZA Mk I> What an interesting idea. It is a good thing that somebody considered that exposure to an an an environment like that would cause corruption.
[00:29] * Det. Ema Skye can just SEE what Sakura's thinking based on her expression lol
[00:29] <ELIZA Mk I> In light of that, give me a moment to phrase something, please?
[00:29] <Det. Ema Skye> Well, we didn't catch it until after she had her way with .... uhh, Ami's husband
[00:29] * Det. Ema Skye forgot his name
[00:30] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Had her... way?
[00:30] <Det. Ema Skye> Mind probe.
[00:30] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> No. Not the Mind Probe.
[00:30] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Blackout] JETS/SLAMS through/into (85+%/14%) a door, and into the Atrium!
[00:30] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeeaaaah.
[00:30] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved back to the Atrium
[00:30] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at ELIZA MK I.
[00:30] *** ELIZA MK I is , apparently, Eliza McIntash, and looks exactly like her in every way.
Her image Song is: .
[00:30] <Det. Ema Skye> WHAT THE F[BLEEP]K?!
[00:31] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> *shocked pikachu face*
[00:31] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh! That's good! That's very good! ^_^
[00:31] <The Voyager> !?
[00:31] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hello, Eliza! I'm here to help you, on behalf of Chateaux!
[00:31] *** Liza's analogue says nothing.
[00:31] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> *eyeblink.gif*
[00:32] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You've been piloting that body from your bed for an extended period of time, and there might be some side effects!
[00:32] * Det. Ema Skye just sits back down weak at the knees from nearly getting Donnie Darko'd
[00:33] <ELIZA Mk I> That is interesting that you say that!
[00:33] <Frey> (from the EMH) WAIT I'VE BEEN GONE HOW LONG!?
[00:33] <ELIZA Mk I> Naturally, I am not afraid of anything, but I was just about to mention some observations just now.
[00:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> YEEES, but everything is fine!
[00:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Don't worry! ^_^
[00:33] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte notes the HOTTEL chronometers seem to be... SIX MONTHS OFF?
[00:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I know that you have likely done many things and seen many more things in the service of the Time Lords, and that is good! However...
[00:34] <ELIZA Mk I> Yes, I have served as a Time Lord Companion, I'm very proud.
[00:34] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (Bloody hell)
[00:34] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Ema...
[00:34] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> how long have you all been holding out over here....?
[00:35] <Det. Ema Skye> Half a year... with more and more people vanishing...
[00:35] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yes, but it might be best if we just waited a little bit to disconnect you from your systems. I understand that you were selected over me because you had the ability not to give in to emotions and were very stable, so I have prepared some things to help you!
[00:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...
[00:35] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte gets up and walks over to her
[00:35] <ELIZA Mk I> I, naturally, and not afraid.
[00:35] <Det. Ema Skye> ?
[00:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ....Detective...
[00:35] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I just...
[00:36] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> ...may I shake your hand?
[00:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course not, but there are many things that Chateaux might prefer to do more gently, and since she is not here at this time, there could be a shock of returning you to your physical body after your efforts.
[00:36] <Det. Ema Skye> ehehehe
[00:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[00:36] * Det. Ema Skye shakes her hand
[00:36] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka speaks warily, but convincingly.
[00:37] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yeah there's no way you're not seeing this through now.
[00:37] <ELIZA Mk I> Well, naturally, I'm not afraid, and Chateaux made me this body so I could be helpful and do exploration. ^_^
[00:37] <Det. Ema Skye> I could do without that honor hahah
[00:37] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course! She's wonderful, after all, but this is your first time. ^_^
[00:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte then heads over to the The Voyager
[00:38] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte can somehow feel that they are both more alike than different
[00:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> 'Lo
[00:38] <The Voyager> ?
[00:38] <The Voyager> yes hello
[00:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If Chateaux were here, do you think you might appreciate a nice rest, and some sedatives, so you could sort through things with her at a later date? After all, you might need to go out again.
[00:38] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm Sakura Amamiya
[00:38] <ELIZA Mk I> Perhaps? I do want to make sure I help!
[00:39] * The Voyager pauses for a moment
[00:39] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, obviously you have helped, but there is cause for concern on your body. For example, a little while ago, I resuscitated you from a heart attack.
[00:39] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> I'm... not from around here. Well, not from around anywhere. Not any more.
[00:39] * ELIZA Mk I absorbs this fearlessly. "Oh. Yes, I see that this could be a cause for concern."
[00:39] <The Voyager> Isabella X Smithson
[00:39] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm glad you understand. ^_^
[00:39] <The Voyager> ...I'm not from around her either
[00:40] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Nice to meet you. I kind of sensed that.
[00:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> There are possibilities that the connection has been strained or severed. I feel that if my own Chateaux were here, she'd recommend a nice, calming anesthetic, to relax your body and allow healing, and perhaps when the local Chateaux--your Chateaux, is around, she would be better able to help you sort through your thoughts after this mission?
[00:42] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> We dimensional ex-pats ought to stick together.
[00:42] * The Voyager can't help but smile at that
[00:42] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte smiles back
[00:42] <ELIZA Mk I> Hmmm. That is a possible solution. Naturally, I do not have any concerns right now, but your points are logical, and I am aware that Chateaux does use anesthesia in order to help circumvent problems.
[00:43] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte deduces that the Red tea Ema gave her was probably a favorite of the Voyager since it doesn't seem like Ema's style
[00:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Want some tea?
[00:43] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte offers her some red Tea
[00:43] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 7 ]
[00:43] <ELIZA Mk I> No thank you!
[00:43] <The Voyager> yes please
[00:43] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> No thank you!
[00:43] * The Voyager takes a cup and sips
[00:43] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> :)
[00:44] <The Voyager> :)
[00:44] <ELIZA Mk I> I do look forward to speaking to Chateaux. I have learned many things to share with her, and committed to memory a great many things about the mission!
[00:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And I'm sure you can. I believe that she'd be very proud of you, but, for now, I think maybe it's time that at least one of us has some help being very relaxed, to arrest any upcoming problems?
[00:45] * Det. Ema Skye sees everyone chatting together and feels truly hopeful for the first time in a long while
[00:45] <ELIZA Mk I> Perhaps. But what do the Time Lords think. They might need our help.
[00:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Excellent point! If the operational situation isn't over, we should help the Time Lords, and their TARDISES, as best we can! ^_^
[00:45] * ELIZA Mk I turns to the Time Ladies.
[00:46] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns to the Time Ladies.
[00:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ...
[00:46] <ELIZA Mk I> ...
[00:46] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte overhears this and taps on the table in Gallifreyan Morse "they certainly are fixated on us aren't they"
[00:46] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> yes, ladies?
[00:46] * The Voyager taps back "agreed"
[00:47] <spiritflame> Liza Sunrise-Suminaka rolls 3d6 [ 5, 4, 5 ]
[00:48] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka starts listening intently when the Gallifreyan Morse starts, but she loses track of the what's going on a moment.
[00:49] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I just thought that my analogue might need to rest. She's been gone a very long time, and there are signs of significant wear and tear, as well as distortion, in her central nervous system readings. Perhaps she should rest until Chateaux is back online? Unless, of course, you think you will need her help. Er... you still need mine, right?
[00:49] <ELIZA Mk I> I was wondering if you needed any further help? My analogue says that there might be complications from my journey, and points out that while Chateaux would help me if she were able, I might benefit from being unconscious---and unable to be harmed or degrade, if I were sequestered until she returns.
[00:49] * ELIZA Mk I waits for the Time Lords to answer.
[00:49] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka waits for the Time Lords to answer.
[00:50] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Not right now, but I assume when the raid on Mugen happens we will.
[00:50] <Det. Ema Skye> For sure.
[00:50] <Det. Ema Skye> We're so understaffed that every hand will help.
[00:50] *** The Castle Mk LVI sends a signal to Eliza's room.
[00:50] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, that' makes sense.
[00:51] <ELIZA Mk I> That's a very sagacious answer, Amamiya!
[00:51] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Ema and Voyager are the ones handling the logistics, so they're the ones you're going to want to consult with.
[00:52] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte is sure to tell Voyager and Ema about the special sigil
[00:52] *** The remote held by The Voyager shows a health monitoring readout of Eliza as well as Liza, indicating that a feed of very powerful anesthetics are being administered to Eliza right now.
[00:53] * ELIZA Mk I turns to Voyager.
[00:53] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte doesn't want that knowledge lost if anything happens to her
[00:53] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns to Voyager
[00:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Do you still require my assistance to put together a route to the objective? Plenty of effort has been put toward, it, and it seems that the calculations are complete! ^_^
[00:54] * ELIZA Mk I starts to look funny.
[00:55] * ELIZA Mk I 's head drops toward the floor, and her eyes close.
[00:56] <The Voyager> huh...
[00:56] * The Voyager glances over to Sakura....
[00:56] <The Voyager> ..where did you get that?
[00:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Hmm?
[00:57] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Get what?
[00:58] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka notices what has happened to Eliza's artificial body. "Ah, that's wonderful. The feeds of desflurane and nitrous oxide have rendered her unconscious. Now her neural connections can be safely mapped for upload to her Chateaux."
[00:58] * The Voyager nods...to the stuffed bunny rabbit toy sitting in your lap, Sakura...it has a bow around it's neck with flowers attached
[00:58] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> :O
[00:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Excuse me, Time Ladies, I hate to interrupt, but this is an Emergency Situation?
[00:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> eeee it's soooo cuutte
[00:59] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Yes?
[00:59] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at The Voyager again. "Do you wish to see the paths to the school objective, which you asked for earlier?"
[00:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm happy to help you, either asleep or awake! ^_^
[01:00] *** Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has placed SUPER CUTE PLUSH BUNNY "lepus" with a bow and flowers around its neck in Inventory Slot: 7
[01:00] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Sure!
[01:01] <ELIZA Mk I> Would you like to see the updated pathing to Mugen Academy?
[01:01] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> Sure!
[01:02] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is mostly speaking to The Voyager, since she was told that she should coordinate closely with her, but after Sakura gives a second affirmative, the Castle Mk LVI immediately responds.
[01:02] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has moved to: [ Special Goggles ]
[01:02] *** A VR-type headset springs up in the line of Liza's visor, and holographic patterns in the shape of the city begin to trace themselves on the ground.
[01:05] *** From behind the visor and headphones attached to Liza's helmeted head, a chamber opens up, and a remote control extends outward where Sakura Amamiya Peinforte can see it. "Enhanced Privilege" is written on it in Gallifreyan.
[01:05] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Special Goggles] just stays still.
[01:06] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte collects it
[01:06] *** Sakura Amamiya Peinforte has placed "Enhanced Privilege" Remote for Liza's Suit in Inventory Slot: 4
[01:07] *** The remote interface has NUMEROUS inputs that the others do not possess, but, critically for now, it has graphs, in pairs, shows the odds of the paths being correct if viewed while Liza is CONSCIOUS, and one prediction for viewing the pathways while Liza is UNCONSCIOUS.
[01:08] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (Interesting, it filters for her bad luck field)
[01:09] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte tilts her head
[01:09] *** It's clear that the possibility for entropy, errors, and problems is higher even with Liza just in the room and awake and perceiving them and consciously being part of the plans. There's a button for sensory deprivation, which would keep her from perceiving the plans (there's an option to show her others), but there's also a dial to control her anesthetic feed for the next hour or so, with a clear marking for what will put her under.
[01:10] <@Sakura Amamiya Peinforte> (what if her suit was fitted with a similar predictive matrix that could predict unfortunate events that would occur in the next few minutes and then alter time-space to prevent them)
[01:11] * @Sakura Amamiya Peinforte wonder if this could be a way to defeat the effects of her malady
[01:11] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Special Goggles] , whatever she is experiencing inside, she doesn't speak to either Sakura or Voyager as they make this decision.
