welcome to #suburbansenshi3

[22:08] <Vermellia X. Rosso> !yai
[22:08] Wisdom from the Book of Yai:
[18:03] <Yaijinden> Q, you have perhaps the worst sense of judgement I've ever seen in a human being.
[22:09] * Vermellia X. Rosso CLAIMS THIS LOG FOR FIGHTING FATE!
[22:09] *** This ooze hangs out by a long line from this hole burned into space, and the whole room trembles, but unlike an earthquake. It's as if a shock wave was reverberating from the very walls, only it is a constants. The moment a drop of this tar-like sustance drops on the floor, there's smoke and a hiss.
[22:10] <golD_lux> Is this the same thing Totschlag was putting out!?
[22:10] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Paise, can you protect yourself with a barrier!
[22:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Barely...
[22:10] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte throws up a Hex field around herself
[22:11] * Vermellia X. Rosso swings her cloak in front of her and her sis, and FIRES a shot of Holy Ammo at the Ooze
[22:11] *** A VOICE comes from this tar-like substance.
[22:11] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ....
[22:11] * Vermellia X. Rosso CLEAVES the shot in half bfore it can hit using her hyperspeed
[22:12] * Vermellia X. Rosso 's scythe gets JERKED back by the explosion
[22:12] * Vermellia X. Rosso tightens her grip on it
[22:12] *** The entire room trembles and shakes even worse in response to this voice, a voice of malevolence, a voice that carries the very sense of dread with it as it speaks.
[22:13] <???> - I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. -
[22:13] * Vermellia X. Rosso is chilled to the bone but stands her ground
[22:13] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I WANT MY FRIEND TO BE HAPPY! I WANT HER TO NOT BE EVIL!
[22:13] <???> - I CAN GIVE IT TO YOU. -
[22:13] <golD_lux> At what price.
[22:14] <???> - JUST STEP THROUGH, AND MAKE A WISH. -
[22:14] <golD_lux> Like she did? No thanks.
[22:14] <???> - EVERYTHING YOU WANT, WILL BE YOURS. -
[22:14] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What she said! Who the Hell are you!
[22:14] <???> - I CAN SEE IT. -
[22:15] <???> - THE PHANE. -
[22:15] <???> - I CAN SEE IT. -
[22:15] <golD_lux> What about the Phane?
[22:15] <???> - DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE NAME IS OF THIS PHANE I SEE? -
[22:16] <Vermellia X. Rosso> (Oh god no... plase don't be...)
[22:16] <golD_lux> What.
[22:16] <???> - LOCRIAN! -
[22:16] * Vermellia X. Rosso staggers slightly
[22:17] <Vermellia X. Rosso> .....Don't tell me... she pulled a Galaxia...
[22:17] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What are you saying!? Did she fuse with it!? Or cast out a part of herself!?
[22:17] <???> - I CAN BRING IT ALL TO AN END. I CAN PREVENT IT FROM EVER HAPPENING. WE CAN PREVENT IT FROM EVER HAPPENING. -
[22:17] <???> - WITH ONE. SINGLE. WISH. -
[22:18] <golD_lux> So can we.
[22:18] <golD_lux> No wish needed.
[22:18] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Yeah! It's called Time Travel!
[22:18] <???> - YOU WILL BE SLAIN. -
[22:19] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Heard that before.
[22:19] <???> - NOT BY I -
[22:19] <golD_lux> Who Are you.
[22:19] <???> - I AM ALL -
[22:20] <golD_lux> That's a little generic
[22:20] <golD_lux> Also I have a hard time believing you're the sum total of like, everything
[22:20] <???> - I AM THE PRODUCT. -
[22:21] <golD_lux> The product of what...
[22:22] *** That hole in space starts to burn wider, and more of this deathly substance begins to spew out.
[22:22] <golD_lux> Chateaux!
[22:22] * @Chateaux Concierge flickers in, looking a bit pale
[22:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> Can you people CLOSE THIS HOLE
[22:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If I close it we lose the connection!
[22:23] * @Chateaux Concierge widens the room to give them some space
[22:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> F[BLEEP]king hurry up!
[22:23] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Who Are you, what's your stake in all this?!
[22:23] *** The substance begins to spread.
[22:24] * @Chateaux Concierge throws up force fields to hold it back
[22:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> SHUT IT DOWN.
[22:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> Or I will pinch off this dimension and you three are F[BLEEP]KED
[22:24] <???> - ALL DIED HOPES, ALL GLORIOUS FAILURES. WHERE ALL THOUGHTS DWELL. -
[22:25] * Vermellia X. Rosso fires some holy shots in the ooze as an experiment
[22:25] <???> - IT REACHES ALL AT SOME TIME. -
[22:25] * @Chateaux Concierge lets them pass through the field and then re-establishes it
[22:25] *** The ooze merely CONSUMES the shots.
[22:25] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Not good...
[22:25] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte severs the link
[22:26] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte circles the room to get with the other three
[22:26] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is worn out from the scrying so can't do much at the 'mo
[22:27] *** The hole burnt in time is put out, but the ooze is still spreading on the ground, but it's spreading as it is thinning. The voice is still there, but it becomes softer and fades. This doesn't stop it from being any less dreadful.
[22:27] * @Chateaux Concierge pushes the substance back with a forcefield, if it's still coming
[22:27] * @Chateaux Concierge tries to erap it in energy
[22:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^wrap
[22:28] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte tries to calculate exactly what year that nastiness originated from
[22:28] <???> - ALL DIES HOPES, SHATTERED DREAMS. LIVES LOST, DESPAIR. IT ALL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. -
[22:28] <???> WITH ONE.
[22:28] <???> - LAST -
[22:28] <???> WISH
[22:29] <golD_lux> A wish on WHAT?!
[22:29] *** The pool of death sinks into the ground.
[22:29] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It may not be strong enough a connection to answer
[22:29] *** Despite what the ground it.
[22:29] * @Chateaux Concierge CRIES OUT
[22:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> IT's HURTING ME
[22:30] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> GET RID OF IT!
[22:30] * @Chateaux Concierge jettisons the floor segment and a square metre of surrounding matter into space
[22:31] * @Chateaux Concierge converts the matter to energy as she does so, for a nice, large, atomic explosion
[22:31] * @Chateaux Concierge doubles over, clutching her stomach, bleeding a bit from the mouth
[22:31] *** the deathly substance GROWS in size.
[22:32] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's still THERE.
[22:32] *** The atomic explosion made it worse.
[22:32] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It must feed on energy.
[22:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well F[BLEEP]K.
[22:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> Who's got antimatter? I don't!
[22:32] <golD_lux> Photon Torpedoes have antimatter.
[22:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> Do I look like a Starship!
[22:33] <golD_lux> Nooo~
[22:33] * golD_lux makes a phone call
[22:33] *** A feeling of all that is horrible in existence continues to pass through, further and further down.
[22:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> Problem.. it hasn't left the planet.
[22:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's still here.
[22:34] <@Chateaux Concierge> If you drop antimatter here, we're screwed!
[22:34] * golD_lux changes who she calls.
[22:34] *** Valeria Victrix [vvictrix@[UNKNOWN]] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[22:34] <@spiritflame> konbanwa valeria victrix *** Happy Birthday, Ten'ou Haruka!!
[22:34] <Valeria Victrix> What's up!
[22:35] <golD_lux> Tremendous force of deathly terror and horror sinking downwards into the planet
[22:35] <Valeria Victrix> Ugh.
[22:35] *** the deathly liquid is no longer in the room, it passes down, and down, and down, sinking to the very bottom.
[22:35] <Valeria Victrix> (( the bottom of... the HOTEL? ))
[22:36] <???> (( beneath it. ))
[22:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's under the foundation of the plasmic shell.
[22:36] * Valeria Victrix puts her hand on a wall
[22:37] * Valeria Victrix closes her eyes and concentrates, willing up all her reserves, not putting in physical force or energy...
[22:37] * Valeria Victrix simply radiates light... not the light of photons...
[22:38] * Valeria Victrix radiates the light of confidence, of hope, of aspiration, of the soul.... of her limitless belief in the ability of justice to prevail, the same power that brought down Ashagar the Endbringer...
[22:38] * Valeria Victrix simply projects overwhelming Will.
[22:38] * Valeria Victrix sends it down through the HOTEL
[22:39] *** The tar has passed and made a point of passing through. How it effected everything doesn't concern it, but it is no longer there. It is beneath.
[22:39] * Valeria Victrix pushes PAST the HOTEL now, intot he Earth.
[22:40] * Valeria Victrix closes her eyes and magnifies the density of her will, to the point where the building starts to heat, for no discernable physical reason
[22:40] *** the woman may recieve the feeling her powers has reached something nearly the exact opposite.
[22:41] * Valeria Victrix does get the impression, but it does not daunt her in the slightest. Such is the nature of her power. It is dauntless.
[22:41] * Valeria Victrix continues her oppressive march, indomitable
[22:41] <Valeria Victrix> ♦ Leave my world.
[22:42] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte checks on Chat
[22:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> It left me... I'm healing... I dunno if Val can catch it, though...
[22:42] *** the fact that it is dauntless does not seem to poke a particular weakness in this substence. However, if she can detect it, she can realize that it is a different type of power source. Similiar to the essence that flows throughout existence.
[22:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> It was moving away...
[22:43] *** similiar, but much different.
[22:43] *** the forbidden.
[22:44] * Valeria Victrix frowns, recognizing the foul stench of the eldritch that Possessed Nizhaladax had taught her of.
[22:44] * Valeria Victrix pulls back for now. She's not yet mastered the fullness of her new state.
[22:45] <Valeria Victrix> ...What did you guys summon?
[22:45] <Valeria Victrix> It feels very primal... something that Shouldn't be here.
[22:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It came through when we were scrying Locrian's Timeline.
[22:46] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Paise if we try that again will it come back?
[22:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> I don't want more of this stuff coming through me please.
[22:46] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte frowns
[22:47] <Vermellia X. Rosso> We have to save her, we need to know more...
[22:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Fine.
[22:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Not here though.
[22:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> Thank you, god.
[22:47] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte rubs her chin.
[22:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Give me a sec to think.
[22:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> More than likely that thing will come back.
[22:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If so we need to be ready to run. And I won't contaminate the planet any further.
[22:48] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte throws up an infodial
[22:48] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte searches... searches.
[22:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> All right.
[22:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I have it.
[22:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Cressida, we'll need your Vortex manipulator. I can't do this on my own.
[22:51] <golD_lux> Okay.
[22:51] <golD_lux> Where are going?
[22:51] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte whips up a Time storm
[22:52] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte grabs Vermy, and Cressida and Valeria
[22:52] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte activates the Vortex Manipulator
[22:52] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: The Planet UTOPIA, edge fo the known universe, the last year of the Universe
[22:53] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte lights a small fire and relights the sacred flame
[22:53] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte rescries, about 15 minutes prior the time the evil presence appeared in Locrian's timeline
[22:54] <golD_lux> There are no stars in the sky...
[22:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> They're all dead by now.
[22:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If anything coees through, it won't last very long.
[22:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The universe has about had it.
[22:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Big Bang III is coming.
[22:56] <Vermellia X. Rosso> You do like to live dangerously....
[22:56] *** Locrian is seen, wearing her now leather armor, treading up the steps to an ancient ruin. She's rambling on about something incoherently, like she's gone absolutely mad. In her hand, she's clutching something.
[22:56] * Vermellia X. Rosso listens
[22:57] <Past Locrian> This'll be it. This'll be it....
[22:57] <Past Locrian> You, my friend.
[22:57] <Past Locrian> This WILL be it.
[22:57] <Past Locrian> The first step, the rechoning.
[22:58] *** Locrian holds up what's in her hand, and looks at it. The object is the very same mask she wears today.
[22:59] <Past Locrian> Everyone will soon know this.........
[22:59] <Past Locrian> As the symbol of change.
[23:00] <Past Locrian> Faces of death.... -mumbles-
[23:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We know where this is leading...
[23:01] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte jumps back a few days to see where the mask came from
[23:01] *** Locrian procedes to do this for some time, and that's when she shows up in a familiar room. Again, that sensation of reverberrations is felt. It pulses through Locrian's very bones, and the viewers can feel it, too.
[23:02] * Past Locrian Then the time switches.
[23:04] *** Locrian is seen sitting over the edge of a roof, just holding that mask in her hands, staring at it. She still has those three scars on her face, and they still look brand new. On the ground beneath her, staring up at her is TOTSCHLAG!
[23:05] *** Totschlag looks younger, too. And smaller. He almost looks a tad feline.
[23:06] *** A few days isn't going to tell where she got the mask. Maybe a year?
[23:07] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte jumps back a year
[23:10] *** i can't play much more, my godddamn roof has started to leak... in the room i'm in
[23:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> right over my work s[BLEEP]t
[23:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (( ^ ))
[23:10] <Past Locrian> (( Oh s[BLEEP]t ))
[23:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (( we'll pick this up again later okay ))
[23:10] <Past Locrian> (( TOkay, it's gonna be a while until I write everything. ))
[23:12] *** Suddenly, the viewers are thrown into a living image of a tense battle between Locrian and something FOUL. A demon? A devil? Whatever it was, it was terrible and took a humanoid shape. The time seemes to have jumped right in on the final, killing blow. Locrian appeared from the shadows about, sweeping her blade across the thing's throat, but before it collapses and dies, the thing swipes its taloned hand across Locrian's face and sends her back, colliding against the floor. ~cont
[23:16] *** This thing screams an ear-peircing cry of hatred before burning into a pile of ash. Locrian gets up off the ground and holds her bleeding face. She looks at what she had accomplished. She looks around in the grimly lit cultist safehouse she had just successfully raided. "..." Objective complete, she has nothing more to do than head back 'home'.
[23:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (( I guess I can play more, there's not much more I can do ))
[23:19] *** Picking up some possessions of the now slain cult, she tries desperately to wipe the blood out her eyes. There's a long walk home, and despite her attempts to cease the bleeding, they all fail, and the wounds never clot. Some time later, and much blood lost, Locrian appears dragging her feet up to an old, aged cathedral of some sort.
[23:20] <Past Locrian> (( Put a bucket on top of it! ))
[23:20] <Past Locrian> (( Also, I'll let you know when I'm done posting. ))
[23:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (( I did but it's leaking in two places right at my workstation for work from home ))
[23:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (( okay ))
[23:20] <Past Locrian> (( S[BLEEP]t, better bust out that extra bucket. ))
[23:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (( already did ))
[23:21] <Past Locrian> (( xD Well as long as it's not getting all over your stuff anymore. ))
[23:23] *** Figures emerge from this cathedral, all wearing masks of some sort, wearing various types of armor, some wearing robes, but all wearing the same symbol as appears on the cathedral in some form. They rush up to Locrian, a wide range of congratulations, and concerns are voiced. Then Locrian collapses to her knees and begins explaining that her wounds won't close, no matter what healing magics, or bandages are applied.
[23:25] *** They take her in, and they make their attempts to close her wounds. No matter what anyone tries, from healers to wizards, they all fail. Locrian continues to bleed, and on the verge of passing out, that's when one of them voice an insane possibility. What follows, is a member of this cathedral appears with a blade in hand, burning white hot.
[23:29] *** They burn her. They worsen her wounds just to get them to stop bleeding. Needless to say, this isn't very pleasant, but it works. As events progress and she recovers, she is brought forward to the Archbishop... She appears through the arched doors into a massive room where two HUGE glowing eyes of pure white stair down at her. This is a dragon. No, it's dead. A living dead dragon.
[23:32] *** Unfortunately, once the dracolich is seen, the image once again cuts off, reflecting the power this being weilded. Afterward, Locrian is seen walking out with something in her hand and TOTSCHLAG by her side.
[23:33] <Past Locrian> Cursed....
[23:33] <Past Totschlag> By a god.
[23:34] *** Locrian lifts what she held in her hand, and adorns that all too well known mask.
[23:35] <golD_lux> That Mask...
[23:38] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte goes back to see the inceptiuon of the battle that got her scarred
[23:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> She was cursed...
[23:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> by a zombie-dragon...
[23:41] *** Locrian is seen going into the shadows, and then appearing out of shadows from distances that are impossible to travel within the time she achieved by foot. She appears to be assassinating a specific group of people, all these people bearing a religious symbol.
[23:41] * golD_lux draws the symbol
[23:43] *** Is seen using stealth and cunning to take down a range of enemies. Surprisingly, there is very little to NO MAGIC being used on her part. She is doing all this by pure roguish skill, accompanied by that shadow-dancing skill. Some fights are more challenging, some are effortless, then there's him.......
[23:43] *** At the end of the line, in the same room she's seen slaying that monster from before stood a man with his back turned, and hands clasped together.
[23:44] <???> I know why you have come.
[23:44] <???> And I just want to let you know, this is where it ends for you.
[23:44] * Vermellia X. Rosso watches this raptly
[23:45] <???> For the touch of god's unholy power courses through my veins.
[23:46] <???> Blessed upon me to slay all foes... A threat like you mustn't survive, but I congratulate you.
[23:47] <???> You did reach this far, after all. Impressive. It's a shame such talent will have to go to waste.
[23:48] *** This figure turns, and... Turns.... First his hands, hideous talons of unimaginable malevolence split from his fingertips as the rest takes over and the long and arduous battle takes over.
[23:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hmm.
[23:49] *** The viewers are then brought to the outcome they saw before, but to scry back before that, to see who sent her on such a task would be blocked.
[23:49] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte goes back further ((lol sorry to make you work)) to see when Tots joined her
[23:56] <???> (( typed over the limit, have to retype <o< ))
[23:57] *** During that time, Locrian still had that bone appendage, but at Paisley skipped further into the past, she's brought unto a new image. The scenary was white. Snow blanketed the ground, skies were pale, and the events of a blizzard were taking effect. ~cont
[23:59] *** Trudging through the snow was a figure cloaked in a ram's skin with the white coat still intact as the day it were still alive. Pulled over this figure's head is the ram's skull, skin still attached, horns prominent and everything.
[00:00] *** This figure has their arms wrapped tightly around themself as their ram cloak flows violently from the blizzard winds. They appear exhausted and slowly freezing to death.
[00:01] *** This figure collapses in the snow, but in the far distance, an old wizard's tower. Standing next to this tower is another unknown figure, one that see's the ram's skin-clad figure collapse.
[00:04] *** He goes out and retreaves this figure, bringing her into the tower and setting her down on a bed next to a fire place. He tends to her until she comes to. He who cares for she in ram's skin has desiccated, bony fingers that are seen, much like what you would see on a corpse... Much like a current tenent of the HOTEL.
[00:06] <Vermellia X. Rosso> A lich...
[00:08] *** Yes, a lich. When the figure in the ram's skin comes to, she wakes up startled to see this masked person, not yet taking notice to the hands which give him away. The lich manages to calm her, then a short, pleasant conversation goes back and forth, one part where he inquires her name.
[00:09] * Vermellia X. Rosso frowns
[00:09] *** The figure in ram's skin speaks her name. "Shadowdancer" and removes her hood, revealing a rebellious teenage version of Locrian's face, and at this time, Locrian did NOT have the extra bone appendage grafted on.
[00:11] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Shadowdancer...
[00:11] <Vermellia X. Rosso> (The Phane is Locrian... what does that mean...)
[00:11] *** It may be inportant to note Paisley would have had to scry beyond 200 years into the past.
[00:12] * Vermellia X. Rosso keeps watching this scene to see what the Lich does
[00:13] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is keeping track of the time... over 200 years...
[00:15] *** The lich continues with these series of questions and polite conversation, pointing out the interesting name, then questioning where it came from, which Locrian responds. "My parents observe their children before naming them, allowing time for their qualities to shine before gifting them with a name that represents that quality. My name is Shadowdancer."
[00:16] *** Locrian continues. "I do find it odd that I don't look anything like any of my family... But that's okay."
[00:20] *** Eventually, the lich reveals what he is to Locrian. Naturally, she becomes unnerved, informing him that she's heard stories of liches, but he manages to convinve her he meets no harm, then goes on to try and convince her to join his religion.
[00:24] *** Locrian turns down his offer, explaining that she wishes to discover the world past the forest of the north before making any such decision. Then she explains she's fearful to do so, because her first encounter with the outside world were of people that looked like her, people that were carrying torches and weapons, people who had hunting dogs and started chasing after her, calling her a 'witch'.
[00:27] *** The lich nods and accepts this. Then, he makes another offer. He'll take her to a nearby city, make sure she has a place to live. In return, all he does is grab a compass, casts a spell on it, then hands it to her, telling her "If you ever change your mind, just follow where this points you. It will lead you back to me."
[00:30] *** The lich takes her into the city, shows her an abandoned house, then leaves her to do as she wishes. This is where she first starts to witness the sins and evil of man. Within the week, she returns, taking with her some wounded animals she adopted from the city on the way before setting a part of the city on fire.
[00:32] *** She comes back to that wizard's tower, seeking the lich's comfort and willing to join his religion, demanding to know why humankind were so terrible.
[00:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Oh god...
[00:37] <golD_lux> She doesn't look like her family... was she a foundling?
[00:47] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What now...
[00:47] <Vermellia X. Rosso> How do we help her...
[00:48] <golD_lux> The evil thing said the Phane was Locrian.
[00:48] <golD_lux> She names herself as Locrian.
[00:48] <Vermellia X. Rosso> But the Phane is in a box...
[00:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We don't dare scry the Phane, it's time-active.
[00:51] *** Wanted to make things right, she demanded to know why things were this way, she told the lich she wanted to protect the innocent. The lich take her in and uses this ambition to full her on the training she endures for the next few years. An image of a cathedral emerges, the same cathedral as before. This is where it begins, where Locrian learned to fight and discovers her affinity for ice.
[00:54] <golD_lux> That church.
[00:54] <golD_lux> Again.
[00:55] * golD_lux draws any symbols that might identify it
[00:56] *** Totschlag is never seen again after that point Locrian leaves the room that Dracolich was is.
[00:56] *** BEFORE that point^
[00:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The dog seems to have come from the Dracolich or his church.
[00:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> F[BLEEP]king hell.
[00:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Not only Liches. But DRagons that are liches.
[00:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What next, will they shoot lasers from their eyes?
[00:58] *** Paisley is tempting fate.
[00:58] <golD_lux> I dunno how much more we can find out this way.
[00:58] <Vermellia X. Rosso> She told me she'd tried to do the right thing and got beaten down...
[00:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I wanna see those stories...
[00:59] *** out of the 200+ years, those are the only liches that are show that Locrian knows... Besides the HOTEL's liiiiiiich.
[00:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Find out what happened...
[00:59] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is getting tired, and sitting at the end of the universe is unnerving
[00:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'll try.
[01:00] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte does the equivalent of a speed-read to try and find points on the timeline that correspond to what Vermellia wants to see
[01:02] *** The scryer would scan through images that would flash various stories before their eyes, many of which WERE of her fighting for a cause and being nearly killed for it, or times she'd attempt to enact justice only to see the innocent slain before her, and even hanged by the very law enforcement made to protect citizens.
[01:03] *** Times where her life hung by a thread because she simply spoke out for what she believed was right, and the reward for it all? Seeing people do TERRIBLE things to each other, and all living creatures.
[01:03] * Vermellia X. Rosso tears up
[01:05] <Vermellia X. Rosso> No wonder...
[01:06] <Vermellia X. Rosso> No wonder she wants to change everything...
[01:06] <golD_lux> But that's... life...
[01:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yeah. Think about that.
[01:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> To fix that she'd have to change the universe itself.
[01:08] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Hold up.
[01:08] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Maybe there's some corrupt overforce in what becomes Tidespeak that's the root of all this
[01:08] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Paise can you check?
[01:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I can only run along her timeline...
[01:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I wonder though..
[01:10] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte checks to see if there's any common thread ot all the corruption and pain Locrian experienced in her life... connections that might have been missed by her being separated in time as they were, but which might be clear in retrospect. like a common symbol, or church, etc
[01:10] *** Wonder if she's considering scrying someone else.
[01:10] *** What?
[01:11] * ^by the incidents beinfg separated in time
[01:11] * in other words, if you look back at most of the bad times she had, the evils she encountered, is there a common theme to them that locrian herself might have missed
[01:12] * like hindsight making things cleaer since we are working backwards
[01:14] *** The events seem to focus on the corruption Locrian has discovered within areas of high state and church governments, such places with a sizable law enforcement population, or even for those to be paladins.
[01:15] *** It also seems to revolve around how everything seems so futile, and pointless.
[01:16] *** Like her actions are nothing more than pestering how everything flows. Perhaps even making it worse.
[01:17] <golD_lux> It looks like she lived in a s[BLEEP]tty place, and all her efforts to help just exacerbated things.
[01:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Seriously this is one place that could have used purification with the Ginzuishou.
[01:19] <golD_lux> Brainwashing a planet is no solution.
[01:19] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Is this just normal human corruption... or is there something more foul at work on Tidespeak...
[01:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hnn...
[01:19] *** The times she lived in were pretty brutal. At such a young age, she was even witness to lynchings and people being burned alive at the stake.
[01:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It looks like she lived in Westeros for Realsies.
[01:20] *** Tidespeak didn't exist then.
[01:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Some planets are like that.
[01:20] * Vermellia X. Rosso is using the term as shorthand
[01:21] <Vermellia X. Rosso> So are you sayig "that's just the way it is?"
[01:21] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No...
[01:21] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte tries one more thing
[01:22] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte tries to get an overall sense of the timeline of Tidespeak... to see if it just evolved like this or if something unnaturally set it on a darker path
[01:23] *** An unknown force can be felt PULLING the viewers through something.
[01:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ....
[01:23] *** The screams belonging to endless voices can be heard, and they're calling for them.
[01:23] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte quickly assesses if this is a good or bad force
[01:23] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte wonders are they calling for help~?
[01:23] *** They're screaming for the viewers.
[01:24] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte can't chance this in her weakened state
[01:24] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte cuts the connection
[01:24] *** The screams belong to two opposing forces. Like demons and angels, Fire and water.
[01:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Something is going on...
[01:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> There's a duality...
[01:25] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That place seems to be ground zero for two opposing.... energies or forces...
[01:25] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte holds her head
[01:25] *** the screaming is suddenly cut, and just as the PULLING was getting to a point where ignoring it wouldn't save them.
[01:25] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I just...
[01:25] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm overextended right now.
[01:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I get the feeling I stopped in the nick of time.
[01:26] * Valeria Victrix has been quiet this whole time
[01:26] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks up at the black empty voic at the end of Time
[01:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That place is... rife with powers.
[01:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We can't take it lightly at all.
[01:27] <Vermellia X. Rosso> But if there's a battle going on for that planet's soul...
[01:27] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Locrian could just be a victim of that...
[01:28] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I bet she wants to fix that as much as we do!
[01:29] <Valeria Victrix> These are huge powers.
[01:29] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Nnngh.
[01:29] <Valeria Victrix> There's no shame in admtting you're outclassed.
[01:30] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I have no problem admitting that.
[01:30] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The problem is I have no bloody clue where to start getting classed.
[01:30] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The only source of useful infromation is f[BLEEP]king Simon.
[01:30] <golD_lux> WE'll talk about it tomorroe
[01:31] <golD_lux> Please get us back home.
[01:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Right.
[01:31] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte makes her time storm and whisks everyone back to the HOTEL
[01:31] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is away: Crashing out for the night
[01:31] * Valeria Victrix is away: Looking into ways to fidn help
[01:32] * Vermellia X. Rosso is away: Trying to sleep but having nightmares again
[01:32] * golD_lux is away: watching over sis

[19:02] *** Morrigan [SexyNaughtyBitchyMe@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:02] <@spiritflame> konbanwa morrigan
[19:03] *** Welcome to Planet DB78
[19:04] *** you find yourself on a desolate planetoid.......more a desert then anything
[19:04] * Morrigan performed an orbital scan of the planetoid prior to landing.
[19:05] *** roll 1d10
[19:06] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 1d10 [ 4 ]
[19:07] *** no sign of life..no sign of anything
[19:07] <Morrigan> Hmmmm.
[19:08] * Morrigan orders the Skirmisher to launch a few drones to orbit the planetoid and continuously scan the place while she starts to explore around.
[19:09] *** for each drone, roll 1d10 please
[19:11] * Morrigan had three drones launched.
[19:11] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 3d10 [ 1, 5, 5 ]
[19:12] *** two of them pick up something..faint..but something
[19:14] * Morrigan orders that the scans be concentrated on the areas they detected something. How far away are they from her current position?
[19:15] *** the something is a good few miles from your present location.....
[19:18] * Morrigan quickly heads in the direction of the signal.
[19:18] *** there still seems to be no sign of anything..even as you approch the spot
[19:21] <Morrigan> Hmmmm, could be either cloaked or underground.
[19:22] * Morrigan has one of the drones hover directly over the spot, scanning and staying in plain sight.
[19:23] <spiritflame> Serafina D. Aurakaizer rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[19:23] <Serafina D. Aurakaizer> (( ^ ))
[19:23] *** Roll 1d10
[19:26] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[19:27] *** the scans make out the remains of a dimensional rift of some sort...
[19:28] <Morrigan> Remains, huh?
[19:29] * Morrigan moves in closer to check things out for herself.
[19:31] *** there is nothing but thin air.......
[19:32] * Morrigan tries to use her own abilities to see if the dimensional rift can be reopened.
[19:32] *** specify abilties?
[19:33] * Morrigan uses the Skirmisher's sensors to see if they can trace where the dimensional rift originated from.
[19:35] *** the rift orginated elsewhere...it's dormet at the moment
[19:36] * Morrigan tries using her Webway Portal Key to reactivate the rift.
[19:36] *** the rift appears out of nowhere.......it looks like a tear in space...
[19:37] * Morrigan sends a drone through to scan the other side.
[19:38] *** roll 1d10
[19:39] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[19:40] *** the drone discovers the other planet is habitable..also there is LOTS of sentient life on there
[19:42] * Morrigan sends the OTHER two sensor drones through the rift to scout out the area beyond.
[19:42] <Morrigan> Where are you, Miss Serafina? You have something we want!
[19:44] *** roll for each drone
[19:44] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 3d10 [ 6, 3, 1 ]
[19:44] *** you immediatly lose contact with two of the drones...the other one spots serafina's location...
[19:45] * Morrigan calls up the last few seconds of the lost drones' sensor logs to see what happened to them.
[19:46] *** something struck the drones down..
[19:49] <Morrigan> Thought so.
[19:50] * Morrigan takes a deep breath and steps through the rift herself.
[19:51] *** the world you are now in is dark....with strange plants and violet skies
[19:53] * Morrigan loads and charges her omni-rifle AND her phaser rifle and heads in the direction Serafina was located! >:D
[19:53] *** something moves through the shadows of the trees
[19:57] * Morrigan slows down a little and looks to see what's moving, remaining cautious all the while.
[19:57] <Morrigan> Lots of sentient life all around, and lots of plants, but no sign of people. I think I know what that means...
[19:58] *** the trees seem to grow around you.......................is it just your imagination
[19:59] <Morrigan> Oh, I don't think so!
[19:59] * Morrigan launches herself upwards with a massive flap of her wings and FLIES!
[20:01] *** you manage to fly above the tree...
[20:01] * Morrigan circles around to see just what it was that was moving around.
[20:02] *** the trees are perfectly still...and are still where they were....they do seem..pretty big though
[20:03] * Morrigan keeps heading towards Serafina.
[20:04] *** in the distance...you can see what looks like a make shift tower..it's huge!
[20:06] * Morrigan has her last remaining drone continue scanning the area around that tower.
[20:06] <spiritflame> Serafina D. Aurakaizer rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[20:06] <Serafina D. Aurakaizer> (( gah ))
[20:06] *** roll 1d10
[20:07] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]
[20:07] *** the scans reveal Serafina is in the upper room of the tower..along with one other person
[20:09] * Morrigan flies high up into the sky and attempts to circle above the tower at high altitude.
[20:16] * Morrigan attempts to land on the roof of the tower.
[20:16] *** the tower..TOWERS over you.....there is no sign of defenses
[20:19] * Morrigan looks for an entrance of any kind.
[20:19] * Morrigan has her last remaining drone scan the tower as well.
[20:19] *** there is a LARGE window near you
[20:21] * Morrigan checks to see if there's a way to open the window without breaking it.
[20:21] *** the window has a huge latch on the glass
[20:22] * Morrigan checks the latch to see if there's an alarm or trap attached to it BEFORE she tries opening it.
[20:23] *** do you wish to scan it?
[20:26] * Morrigan scans it.
[20:26] *** roll 1d10
[20:27] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]
[20:29] *** there is a trap attached to the latch..disarm it? y/n?
[20:30] * Morrigan does indeed want to disarm the trap.
[20:30] *** you disarm the trap.....the window can now be opened....with difficulty
[20:34] * Morrigan opens the window.
[20:35] *** you manage to open it a crack..just big enough to slip through
[20:38] * Morrigan slips in and resumes her search for Serafina.
[20:39] *** the room is MASSIVE...you are one floor above where Serafina is...
[20:41] * Morrigan looks around to see how the floor is laid out.
[20:41] *** the current floor is huge....with no real distinguishing features....there is a door leading down
[20:44] * Morrigan quickly goes over to the door and listens carefully.
[20:45] *** the door towers over you...but you can hear serafina mocking something..about how easy they were to capture..
[20:46] * Morrigan quietly moves in closer.
[20:47] *** Serafina is telling Kaelyn that she finally FINALLY has her revenge......
[20:52] * Morrigan moves downstairs and tries to sneak in closer.
[20:53] *** from a distance..you can see Serafina mocking a tied up Kaelyn...the HOTEL part is next to them
[20:56] * Morrigan attempts to move in closer. She also sends a signal to her last drone to have it move in closer to the tower.
[20:56] <Serafina D. Aurakaizer> (( *eye twitch* ))
[20:57] *** roll 1d10
[20:57] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[20:58] * Serafina D. Aurakaizer spots Morrigan........and smirks
[20:58] <Serafina D. Aurakaizer> well well well.....
[20:58] <Serafina D. Aurakaizer> I see I have a visitor....
[20:59] <Morrigan> Hello, Serafina. You just HAD to make a big mistake, didn't you?
[20:59] <Serafina D. Aurakaizer> oh...I'd say someone made a big mistake..but it wasn't me...
[20:59] *** Did I forget to mention one thing:...you are currently 5 inches tall
[21:00] <Morrigan> o__O
[21:00] <Morrigan> ...
[21:00] <Morrigan> No matter!
[21:00] * Serafina D. Aurakaizer raises her foot
[21:00] * Morrigan FLIES to the side!
[21:00] * Serafina D. Aurakaizer stomps down and misses Morrigan
[21:00] <Serafina D. Aurakaizer> GET BACK HERE YOU INSECT!
[21:01] * Serafina D. Aurakaizer goes to grab Morrigan
[21:01] * Morrigan shoots at Serafina with her omni-rifle, firing a burst of hyper-velocity slugs at her.
[21:02] <spiritflame> Serafina D. Aurakaizer rolls 1d10 [ 6 ]
[21:02] * Serafina D. Aurakaizer winces at the pin pricks of attacks
[21:02] <Serafina D. Aurakaizer> grrrrr
[21:02] * Serafina D. Aurakaizer mutters some words....causing flies to burst out of the walls and head for morrigan!
[21:02] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte is watching all this calmly...
[21:03] * Morrigan POWER-DIVES towards Kaelyn and attempts to release her.
[21:04] * Morrigan also summons that last sensor-drone of hers!
[21:04] <spiritflame> Kaelyn P. Peinforte rolls 1d10 [ 4 ]
[21:04] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte blinks as she is missed!
[21:05] * the flies chase after Morrigan!
[21:06] * Morrigan looks to see just HOW Kaelyn is immobilized while shooting at the insects.
[21:06] * Morrigan sends a message to the drone - come in through the window she entered, go down the stairs, and SLAM into Serafina!
[21:06] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte is tied up by the wrist
[21:07] *** roll 1d10
[21:07] <spiritflame> Morrigan rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[21:08] *** the Drone SLAMS into Serafina.......knocking the woman over!
[21:10] * Morrigan shoots the bindings with her phaser rifle, carefully aiming to avoid hurting Kaelyn's wrists.
[21:12] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte is freed and GRABS serafina by the throat, putting her in a choke hold....
[21:12] * Morrigan keeps shooting insects.
[21:12] <Morrigan (teeny)> Hey! Where's the part from the HOTEL?
[21:13] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> over there *points to the part*
[21:14] * Morrigan (teeny) tries to pick up the part.
[21:14] *** the piece is pretty big compared to you
[21:16] <Morrigan (teeny)> Is there any way to reverse this shrinkage?
[21:16] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> you guard, serafina...I'll take the part
[21:16] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> you'd have to ask a magic user...
[21:17] * Morrigan (teeny) goes over and guards Serafina, aiming BOTH of her rifles at Serafina's forehead (her physical weak spot as little Catriona has discovered!)
[21:18] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte takes the part and switches off her holomitter
[21:18] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte is now known as Thrash
[21:18] <Morrigan (teeny)> Wait, it was you the whole time?
[21:18] <Thrash> mmhm
[21:18] <Thrash> what did you think my daughter had been really taken
[21:19] <Morrigan (teeny)> I didn't know either way. I was just here checking out the coordinates I'd been given.
[21:19] * Thrash takes the part...
[21:19] <Thrash> we'll bring her with us
[21:20] *** there's some odd whispering in the air
[21:20] <Thrash> ...we need to get out of here now!
[21:21] <Morrigan (teeny)> Let's go then!
[21:21] * Thrash picks up Serafina over his shoulder and grabs the part and makes a run for it!
[21:22] * Morrigan (teeny) flies for it too. She also sets the drone's self-destruct timer for 5 minutes.
[21:22] <Thrash> do you have a transport?
[21:23] <Morrigan (teeny)> Outside. Skirmisher-class frigate.
[21:23] * Thrash nods and runs outside..only to spot Harkovians apperoching..fast
[21:23] <Thrash> how fast can you fly at that size
[21:24] <Morrigan (teeny)> We have to get back to the dimension rift I reopened though.
[21:24] <Morrigan (teeny)> I can fly pretty fast. Why?
[21:24] <Thrash> well
[21:24] <Thrash> RUN!
[21:24] * Thrash RUNS for the rift!!!!
[21:25] * Morrigan (teeny) FLIES!
[21:26] *** the whispering starts to grow higher as the tree roots head straight for them..trying to grab them
[21:28] * Thrash leaps over the roots!
[21:28] * Morrigan (teeny) tries casting Dispel Magic on herself as she flies!
[21:28] *** Morrigan is restored to full size!
[21:29] <Morrigan> >XD
[21:29] <Morrigan> >:D
[21:30] * Morrigan is shooting at everything in front and beside herself and Thrash as they rush towards the rift!
[21:30] * Thrash LEAPS through the rift with serafina!
[21:30] * Morrigan SHOOTS through as well.
[21:31] * The Skirmisher-class frigate hovers nearby, its plasma pulse-cannons charged and ready to shoot at anything else that comes through the rift.
[21:31] <Morrigan> Everyone throught?
[21:31] <Morrigan> ^through?
[21:32] <Thrash> YES CLOSE THE RIFT
[21:32] * Morrigan uses her Webway Key to shut down the rift.
[21:33] *** the rift is closed
[21:33] <Morrigan> Heh! Nice!
[21:33] <Thrash> ...alright...time to get this back to the HOTEL with this
[21:33] <Morrigan> Let's get outta here, get back home, and get the HOTEL's defenses back up and running properly!
[21:34] <Morrigan> Then...we torture Serafina horribly! >:D
[21:34] <Thrash> no
[21:34] <Thrash> I want information from her
[21:36] <Morrigan> Take a number and get in line.
[21:37] <Morrigan> Anywhoo, let's just get home. We'll figure out everything after we get the HOTEL fixed.
[21:37] * Thrash gets into the vessal
[21:37] * Morrigan gets onboard too.
[21:37] * The Skirmisher takes off and starts the journey back to Earth.
[21:39] *** Thrash has left #suburbansenshi3
[21:39] *** Serafina D. Aurakaizer has left #suburbansenshi3
[21:40] *** Morrigan [SexyNaughtyBitchyMe@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has left #suburbansenshi3 ("Now Serafina...have you ever heard the most annoying sound in the world? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!!!!")

[18:35] * Belinda Tanith looks at LOVELYgirl.
[18:35] *** LOVELYgirl is



More information about her is Here.
Her image Song is: 'Lady Dynamite' by Ayumi Hamasaki. She is Level 3.
[18:35] * LOVELYgirl pulls her sand cloak around her as she heads out into the desert
[18:35] * LOVELYgirl currently has lots of red hair, in several different shades!
[18:36] * Belinda Tanith approaches Miara directly, her incredibly long-trained dress leaving a long mark in the sand behind her.
[18:36] * LOVELYgirl looks at Belinda Tanith.
[18:36] *** Belinda Tanith is striking woman of indeterminate age, with a gleaming smile and bluish hair. She wears a forest-green ballgown with a billowing train covered in sequins and elegant trim of finest silver. She moves with entrancing grace, and has emerald green eyes.
Her image Song is: . She is Level 1.
[18:37] <Belinda Tanith> You are Miara of the Lupa, husband of Taki Kensei of the Ultramen?
[18:37] <Belinda Tanith> My name is Belinda Tanith. I am pleased to meet you.
[18:37] * Belinda Tanith bows with inhuman grace.
[18:37] <LOVELYgirl> yeah, that's me!
[18:37] <Belinda Tanith> Magnificent.
[18:37] <LOVELYgirl> you too
[18:38] * LOVELYgirl observes Belinda as they talk
[18:38] <Belinda Tanith> I am an Au-Pair, mentor, and tutor. I have educated and protected exceptional children for many many years, and I have come to this place because I have sensed the incredible significance and destiny of the children herein.
[18:38] <Belinda Tanith> Princes and Princesses--young wizards and scholars and warriors and heroes, I am without peer.
[18:38] <LOVELYgirl> heh, that is true
[18:39] <Belinda Tanith> I am aware that you have had a child which is one of a kind, as all children are, really. ^__^
[18:39] <LOVELYgirl> yes, we do. it sounds as if you haven't found someone specific yet.
[18:40] <Belinda Tanith> I would like to offer you my services as a professional Au Pair. I am fluent in countless languages, and in subjects from zoology to astronomy. I have served as educator, nurturer, and guardian, to ensure that children are ready to meet the grand destiny that awaits them. Your child has such a destiny. There can be no doubt.
[18:41] <LOVELYgirl> hee, or something of the sort.
[18:41] * Belinda Tanith smiles kindly.
[18:41] <LOVELYgirl> you see, that's not really something my people do, and we're leaving anyway.
[18:42] <Belinda Tanith> My lady, the parent's wishes are mine. Though your exit is not a barrier to me, I shall respect your wishes.
[18:43] <Belinda Tanith> However, should you change your mind, I shall be aware. I have tutored and guarded countless children who have become legends, and I would consider it an honor as great as any to be Au Pair to your son.
[18:43] <LOVELYgirl> Your best bet is probably someone like the Langisters or Vasselius people, who have/want a lot of kids and their cultures lend themselves to that structure.
[18:43] <Belinda Tanith> Oh, I have become employed by the Langisters, as well as Yaijinden!
[18:44] <Belinda Tanith> However, your son's destiny is just as bright! ^__^
[18:44] <LOVELYgirl> I do appreciate it, really. But it's just not something I think we're interested in.
[18:44] <LOVELYgirl> Of course, if you want to befriend him and talk with him and stuff while we're here, that's perfectly fine :)
[18:45] <Belinda Tanith> That is perfectly acceptable. Do your utmost, and prepare him, for his years ahead will be epic indeed.
[18:45] <LOVELYgirl> Mhm~
[18:45] <Belinda Tanith> If that is the way you feel, may I have your permission to involve him in the lessons and games with the other children who are my wards?
[18:46] <LOVELYgirl> Sure!
[18:46] * Belinda Tanith smiles and nods her head, making the bangles and silver ornaments in her hair bounce and glitter in the desert night.
[18:47] <LOVELYgirl> We have odd schedules with all the traveling, we're getting a lot of things in before we go, so things will keep running, you see.
[18:47] <LOVELYgirl> Ne, do you know Lupa?
[18:48] <Belinda Tanith> My lady, I know every language that is spoken upon this world and more. Further, I give you my word that while he is under my supervision, I shall do all things with the goal to prepare him both mentally, phisically, emotionally, socially, and psychically for the future that awaits him. I swear upon my life that I shall allow no being to end his childhood prematurely, before the day he is fated to.
[18:49] <Belinda Tanith> ^__^
[18:51] <Belinda Tanith> I thank you for your time, and wish you all blessings that you shall need. I shall depart now, but if you ever wish to expand this relationship and solicit my services on a long term basis, I accept payment in Silver.
[18:51] * LOVELYgirl nods, with a somewhat concealing smile
[18:51] <Belinda Tanith> Peace be with you, Miara of the Lupa, and may the bonds you forge be strong.
[18:51] <LOVELYgirl> We'll hope so...
[18:51] <LOVELYgirl> You're old, aren't you?
[18:51] * Belinda Tanith smiles.
[18:52] <Belinda Tanith> I am certain a mother such as yourself would be comfortable around one who is not mortal? ^__^
[18:52] <Belinda Tanith> Given the nature of your people, of course.
[18:52] <LOVELYgirl> Well, sure.
[18:54] <Belinda Tanith> I understand the needs and customs of your culture. Know that I would never reveal or disrupt them. My focus is solely upon the well-being of the child, and the future they can forge if reared well.
[18:54] <LOVELYgirl> The closer you are, the less it matters, in many respects. But then, I never knew Urvenis, which would be quite different.
[18:55] <Belinda Tanith> There are some in every society who believe their abilities elevate them above their fellows.
[18:58] <LOVELYgirl> powers don't give us that right
[18:59] <Belinda Tanith> But of course, every culture views the use of power differently, and cultures do tend to disagree. As for myself, I do not intervene once a child is beyond my care. The world shall claim them all, in time. I merely seek to ensure that every day is used to its fullest until the final one when they become a woman or man.
[19:01] <Belinda Tanith> Farewell, Miara of the Lupa. The needs of children summon me. May your son be blessed.
[19:02] * Belinda Tanith goes back across the sand dune, her silver-laden skirt leaving a single line across the desert.
[19:02] <LOVELYgirl> It was very enlightening talking to you, and thanks for the offer.
[19:02] * Belinda Tanith bows again with preternatural coordination from behind the dune, and then is gone.

[21:34] <golD_lux> you think it's her?
[21:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Gotta be. She must have gotten wind we were close.
[21:35] *** The elevator goes down down down down down.
[21:35] <???> Hey, was it okay I followed you guys?
[21:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...Probbaly NOT!

[21:36] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You got that right kid.
[21:36] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Stay back.
[21:37] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte concentrates and brings up golden energy around her fists
[21:37] *** The elevator door opens to a door that has been exhaustively redone, and is covered with toys and games and whimsical paintings along a long corridor into the distance.
[21:37] * ??? looks between the two. "Guns?"
[21:37] <Belinda Tanith's voice> ♫ But one cannot see within it... that Toyland is small... ♫
[21:37] <Belinda Tanith's voice> ♫ and one must trek beyond it to grow sturdy wise or tall! ♫
[21:37] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Kid, take my advice. Stay here.
[21:37] <???> Is this really real?
[21:37] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes.
[21:38] <???> ...For real?
[21:38] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now stay.
[21:38] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...YES.
[21:38] *** Every toy that a child could imagine lines the halls of this corridor, which ends in a door surrounded by light.
[21:38] <???> Okay...
[21:38] <golD_lux> Good greif.
[21:38] * ??? starts texting on his phone.

[21:39] <???> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:40] * ??? jumps and drops his phone.
[21:40] <???> Holy s[BLEEP]t!
[21:40] *** The bullet, if it is lead, makes a hole in but does not fully penetrate the glimmering door at the end of the hallway, which is made of pure silver.
[21:40] * ??? scrambles to get his phone back.
[21:40] * golD_lux 's currently using high explosive rounds

[21:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> A silver door.
[21:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Let's see what I can do.
[21:41] *** Paisley Pythia Peinforte draws from her deck of Cards Against Humanity™, creating a disposable Block Transfer Summon based on the following elements: Gandalf, shaft, a surprising amount of hair, a cat video so cute that your eyes roll back and your spine slides out of your anus, and too much hair gel.
[21:41] *** The sound of laughter can be heard. Paisley's laughter. From long ago.

[21:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> /m ehears the laughter but it rings false
[21:42] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ♦ What is happening, mother

[21:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ She's got some kind of game going on
[21:43] <Nelius Raoul> So Tanith's showing her true colors.
[21:43] <golD_lux> We got too close.
[21:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> - Good. -
[21:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now what does she mean, Choose one ?
[21:44] <???> Tanith?

[21:44] <Belinda Tanith's voice> ♫ Each step of the way... towards that day... oh children follow me! ♫
[21:44] <???> Sorry...
[21:44] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte starts to transfer some emotional strength to Paisley
[21:44] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte sends Gandalf-ShaftFroDude to keep the boy away
[21:44] *** The door lights up again when ??? comes close to it.
[21:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ....He's a kid.
[21:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's reacting to him.
[21:45] <???> o-o
[21:45] <golD_lux> Listen kid, that door is SUPER dangerous.
[21:45] <golD_lux> Do NOT go through it!
[21:45] <???> I believe you!
[21:45] <golD_lux> Cressida, Nelius, Eitak... her realm is just past there...
[21:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^
[21:46] <???> But if you're going in there, choose command!
[21:46] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Command?
[21:46] *** The door opens, and there is a wide room beyond, dolls fill the shelves, some of which sport fox tails. Numerous layers of shelves with toy soldiers that look progressively more like the Van Saar regiments the further of the ground they are.
[21:46] <???> That voice that was singing.
[21:46] * ??? looks at this all.
[21:46] <Eitak_Razal> I choose. "FIght" :D
[21:46] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte heads in
[21:46] * Belinda Tanith is standing in the middle of the room, in the middle of a set of bunk beds and tea sets and wagons, and she is playing a harp.
[21:47] <???> Oh my god, they have toy soldiers.
[21:47] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Toyland.... Toyland... ♫
[21:47] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Mystical Merry Toyland ♫
[21:47] <Eitak_Razal> ...Oh. Look. She can turn people into toys..
[21:47] * Eitak_Razal casts dispel magic on some of the toys
[21:47] <golD_lux> These look like Sol's kids...
[21:47] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ While you dwell within it... ♫
[21:47] <???> I looooove toy soldiers.
[21:47] <Nelius Raoul> (Great, like that Celestial Toymaker asshat?)
[21:47] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ You are eveeer happy there! ♫
[21:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> - Tanit. -
[21:47] *** The Magic does not affect the toys at all, but some of the lights in the room go out.
[21:48] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ None in toyland climb mountains, or sail upon the sea. ♫
[21:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> - Beautiful Serpent of Tanit. -
[21:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> - I call your name. -
[21:48] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ The conquests are there are idle, and the teapots hold no tea... ♫
[21:48] <???> I wonder if this follows videogame logic?
[21:48] *** She stands there, and her dress extends all the way to the other wall, some 20 feet back.
[21:48] <Nelius Raoul> (Magic-based systems.... is she scrying the kids' timelines to get some info?)
[21:49] * golD_lux PUNCHES at the air and makes a shocvkwave intending to knock the harp out of her hands
[21:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> GUYS.
[21:49] * Belinda Tanith looks up at them, sadly.
[21:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The Dress.
[21:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If she's got a tail under there, Mind it!~
[21:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What are your intentions towards those children!
[21:49] *** The Harp dissolves into treads of pure silver, which wind themselves back upon Belinda's rings and jewels within the space of a second.
[21:50] * Belinda Tanith faces them all, and finishes the song...
[21:50] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ "But as long as they..." ♫
[21:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I don't suppose you have metal control, Cressida...
[21:50] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Still light your way... ♫
[21:50] <golD_lux> no ><
[21:50] <???> (This is really creepy...)
[21:50] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Oh children.... follow me. ♫
[21:50] * Belinda Tanith stops singing, and her eyes suddenly glow green.
[21:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What, so you can sacrifice them?!
[21:51] <Belinda Tanith> None shall invade the nursery in this room. Your rightful places are beyond here.
[21:51] * Belinda Tanith points to ???
[21:51] <Belinda Tanith> You, however, may stay if you wish.
[21:51] * ??? looks a little pale. "Why me?"
[21:52] <Belinda Tanith> The rest of you have traded this for the things you enjoy now.
[21:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> My rightful place is anywhere I dan well please when the lives of children.
[21:52] <Eitak_Razal> Oh please.
[21:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^damn
[21:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And I'm still a child at heart, woman.
[21:52] <Eitak_Razal> I still enjoy playing games.
[21:52] <golD_lux> Yeah!
[21:52] * Belinda Tanith looks back. "I never would turn away a fearful child. You may stay."
[21:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Of of course you wouldn't.
[21:52] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks around for a Tophet.
[21:52] * ??? doesn't know what to think.
[21:53] * Belinda Tanith sings one of the lines of the song again, sadly, and it is not as beautiful as it was the first time.
[21:53] <Nelius Raoul> You really don't know me at all, do you? This--- I never had this, not at all, and I don't regret one moment of it.
[21:53] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ I stand upon the border, with doll and crown in hand, approach and choose but one to use to frolic or command. ♫
[21:53] * Belinda Tanith is looking dead into Eitak's eyes when she sings this.
[21:54] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte transfers some emotional strength to her allies..or attempts to.....
[21:54] <golD_lux> Choose either the Doll and Crown and what to do with it~?
[21:54] <Belinda Tanith> You have all already chosen. Except him.
[21:54] * Belinda Tanith points to ???
[21:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> To frolic... play... or Command...
[21:54] <Belinda Tanith> Until the day he decides, he is welcome in my presence.
[21:54] * ??? clutches a necklace of his that lies under his shirt. "..."
[21:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Tanith.
[21:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Wht's under that absurd dress of yours.
[21:55] * Belinda Tanith gestures to all of the things in the room to play with. "Do whatever you wish, young one." ^__^
[21:55] <???> The...
[21:55] <???> Uhm...
[21:55] * golD_lux FIRES a shot at the dress
[21:56] *** WHERE on the dress?
[21:56] <???> (I hope he's watching over me, like he promised.)
[21:56] * golD_lux fires at the train.
[21:56] <spiritflame> Belinda Tanith rolls 2d6 [ 1, 5 ]
[21:57] *** The bullet passes through the dress, and hits the floor with a crack.
[21:57] <golD_lux> Tch.
[21:57] * Belinda Tanith looks ASTONISHED that this course of action was taken.
[21:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Nelius.
[21:57] <Eitak_Razal> I vote we just stab her
[21:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Set the train of that dress alight.
[21:57] * Eitak_Razal has her sword ready.
[21:57] * Belinda Tanith raises her hands, and silver from her embroidery flows and knits across the hole in the dress, making a silver flower.
[21:57] <Belinda Tanith> Are you aware that I have been attacked but ONCE?
[21:58] <golD_lux> Paise it might be metal.
[21:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Fully.
[21:58] <Belinda Tanith> Are you further aware that I am Au Pair, and a member of the house of Unmei, the House of Langister, and the Gyre?
[21:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Unconcerned.
[21:58] <Belinda Tanith> Who are you to assault me?
[21:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Paisley Pythia Peinforte.
[21:59] * Belinda Tanith walks over closer. Her dress train never leaves the ground, and her posture never wavers.
[21:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's time we got some answers.
[22:00] <???> May I choose? Between the doll and the crown?
[22:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Number one-- what's under the train of that dress.
[22:00] <Belinda Tanith> You may choose, but choose well. One of those answers is the final one.
[22:00] * Belinda Tanith is focused on the kid far more than the adult, and looks somber.
[22:01] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte doesn't mind being ignored, she knows full well she's not honouring the riddle.
[22:01] <???> The... crown.
[22:01] * Belinda Tanith sighs.
[22:01] <Belinda Tanith> So be it.
[22:01] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte goes over to one of the Van Saar toys and takes one.
[22:01] <Belinda Tanith> But you are so young.
[22:01] <Belinda Tanith> Step out into the light and be seen, as do all who choose the Crown, and leave childhood behind.
[22:01] * ??? instantly feels like that was a bad decision.
[22:02] <Eitak_Razal> The crown represents adult hood. The Doll represnets childhood.
[22:02] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte examines it
[22:02] <Eitak_Razal> It's pretty obvious riddle
[22:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's ridiculously binary.
[22:03] <Eitak_Razal> Everyone grows older. That doesn't mean we have to grow up entirely. That said we need to grow up somewhat so we can care for ourselves
[22:03] *** The toy does not have a "Made In" sticker. It's hand made.
[22:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm young at heart.
[22:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> and I'm with Eitak.
[22:03] <???> I thought the crown was taking control, and the doll was trusting others to take control for you!
[22:03] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ♦ mother..is everything alright.....
[22:03] <Belinda Tanith> They are exactly that.
[22:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ We'll see.
[22:03] <Eitak_Razal> We can't stay kids forever even if we want to.
[22:03] <Belinda Tanith> But, young man, the joys within the parapet of Toyland shall feel just as real to you.
[22:04] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte scrys Tanith to see if she hails from the future
[22:04] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ♦ I am maintaining this flow of energy to you....
[22:04] <Belinda Tanith> I told you that you alone were welcome before me, for this is the room for children. You shall all leave my custody eventually, or I would have failed you.
[22:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ I know... don't push yourself, love
[22:05] *** The Silver Lady can NOT be scried. ZERO results.
[22:05] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ♦ I am not alone...
[22:05] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte will never have the answer to that question then. that's fine.
[22:06] <Nelius Raoul> I believe it's time to dispense with the riddles, Tanith. Just who and what are you, Really?
[22:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well, Tanith.
[22:06] <Belinda Tanith> You are not the parents of my wards, and are beyond my ministrations. Depart, for you have no place here.
[22:06] * Eitak_Razal holds up the crystal of Time TM to boost Pasiely's scrying
[22:06] <Eitak_Razal> Try again
[22:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Are you a Priestess for the Goddess~?
[22:06] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte shakes her head at Eiotak.
[22:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It doesn't matter Eitak.
[22:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It was just personal curiosity.
[22:06] <???> What will happen to me when I step in that light?
[22:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> One of the ones who likes ot feed her Children~
[22:07] <Belinda Tanith> New World and Old, matriarch or patriarch, freedman or slave, god or goddess, I have spoken to them all.
[22:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And what have you taken from them.
[22:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You select only childremn of Destiny. Why.
[22:08] * Belinda Tanith turns toward Cressida, "AND YOU, her eyes glow green, and look to GolD_Lux to have changed drastically, "join the ranks with BUT ONE OTHER."
[22:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Ignoring me?
[22:09] <Belinda Tanith> Because that is their fate.
[22:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Their fate. To be selected by you~? for what end.
[22:09] * ??? taps on his phone and sends to another phone.
[22:09] <Belinda Tanith> I told you who I was, but then, you did not listen to my song.
[22:10] * Belinda Tanith looks to ???. "Young man."
[22:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You stole lyrics from a Laurel and Hardy Movie.
[22:10] <???> !!
[22:10] <???> Uh, yeah?
[22:10] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> (( *high five X* ))
[22:10] * Eitak_Razal sickers
[22:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (( high fives ))
[22:10] <Eitak_Razal> *Snickers
[22:11] <Belinda Tanith> Blood may be shed here. If you choose to stay, you will have your choice made for you. Do you not wish to depart, and preserve what you entered with? It cannot be replaced.
[22:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Go home kid.
[22:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This isn't your fight.
[22:11] <???> ...Does that mean I'm going to die if I stay?
[22:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It means you'll see the true face of certain things.
[22:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Your innocence is going to die.
[22:12] <Belinda Tanith> No. It means that you cannot unsee and unhear if you elect to stay. Every childhood has a day that it ends. Yours does not HAVE to be today.
[22:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hang onto it for a bit longer.
[22:12] <???> Ah... But can I still leave aft-
[22:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'll agree with the Seprent there.
[22:12] * Belinda Tanith is slowly shaking her head.
[22:13] <???> Serpant? If I stay, can I still leave whenever I want?
[22:13] * ??? looks at Belinda's dress.
[22:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Kid.
[22:13] <Belinda Tanith> Child, only by leaving can you ever return here.
[22:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> She's right.
[22:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If you stay, you're growing up. Today.
[22:14] <Eitak_Razal> That's...
[22:14] * Belinda Tanith looks at this person. "You, and YOU ALONE, may pull my garment aside. All others have. Once."
[22:14] <Eitak_Razal> ....PERVERT
[22:14] * ??? looks around nervously and clutches at his necklace again.
[22:14] <???> Whaaaaat?
[22:14] <golD_lux> ...What have you got there, Anthony?
[22:14] <golD_lux> Can we see that?
[22:15] <???> It's just a necklace...
[22:15] <golD_lux> Whre did you get it?
[22:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Is it silver?
[22:15] * Belinda Tanith looks utterly unconcerned at Eitak's criticism. "A day may yet come when you or your daughter solicit my services, Eitak of Negerra. Do you not feel you are being hasty?"
[22:15] <???> ...Someone important to me gave it to me.
[22:15] <Belinda Tanith> Is it silver?
[22:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The otherkids got Silver ones...
[22:16] <???> It's steel.
[22:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mmm...
[22:17] * ??? backs up a little.
[22:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'll lay out why we're here, Tanith.
[22:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Why you're being confronted.
[22:17] <Belinda Tanith> You were foolish to come here as I blessed this room for its destined purpose.
[22:17] <Eitak_Razal> Make yourself trustworthy and speak plainly and I'll come to a discion on my own
[22:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I believe you are the High Priestess of the Cult of Tanit.
[22:17] <Eitak_Razal> Also, how do you know me?
[22:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I believe you've selected children based on a command of astrology.
[22:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I believe you intend to Sacrifice them-- either physically or in some other means.
[22:18] <Belinda Tanith> Then know, Paisley Pythia Peinforte, that ALL of the reasons you have come here are WRONG.
[22:18] <Belinda Tanith> Every single one.
[22:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Fair enough.
[22:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Correct me.
[22:19] * ??? finally comes to the decision that he'll stay. He has an obligation.
[22:19] * ??? also feels like this is important.
[22:19] <Belinda Tanith> Anthony. Why are you staying?
[22:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Or you will do No Business Here.
[22:19] <???> I want to see.
[22:19] <Belinda Tanith> I do not annul my contracts when the deal is struck, but a more important matter is at hand.
[22:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Also I think you're part serpent.
[22:20] * Belinda Tanith goes over to Anthony.
[22:20] <golD_lux> That just sounds worse when you tack it on
[22:20] <Belinda Tanith> Child. Do you really wish to see? Do you do this for yourself, or others?
[22:20] <Eitak_Razal> I belive the phrase is Naga
[22:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Shut up there is no good way to say that.
[22:20] <Eitak_Razal> Yes there is.
[22:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> NONE if you can find a better one be my GUEST
[22:21] * ??? leans away slightly, he seems to be at a loss of words. "Uhhhh...."
[22:21] <Eitak_Razal> We think you're a Naga and havinng never seen one were curious if it was true?
[22:21] <Eitak_Razal> See. Much better
[22:21] <Belinda Tanith> There are two roads before you, Anthony. Are you certain?
[22:21] <golD_lux> So Belinda.
[22:21] <golD_lux> Why did you choose me to stay and choose one other.
[22:22] <Eitak_Razal> Also. WHY MUST YOU SPEAK IN RIDDLES
[22:22] <Eitak_Razal> Speak plainly
[22:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> They all do that. It's a thing.
[22:22] <Belinda Tanith> I gave his mother the same choice I give all parents, but she declined. Every parent ushers their child toward their destiny, whether they know it or not. Her child is destined for great things, but as Miara is the parent, my involvement was her decision.
[22:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If I had to the patience to make my own I'd reply in kind.
[22:23] <???> Uhm... Well what if this will only happen once?
[22:23] <golD_lux> Miara...?
[22:23] <Belinda Tanith> I did not insist. I never have insisted. You stand before you attacking an employee--an Au- Pair--and thus family member, of your friends.
[22:24] <Belinda Tanith> ...and you are doing so before a child. Think carefully about your actions.
[22:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I've asked him to go repeatedly.
[22:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And I've asked you to correct me.
[22:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This is your one chance.
[22:24] <Eitak_Razal> Want me to teleport him out?
[22:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I will not grant another.
[22:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes.
[22:24] * Eitak_Razal is already preppping the spell
[22:24] <???> No!
[22:25] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is slowly stilling her mind
[22:25] <Belinda Tanith> He has elected to not let another choose for him.
[22:25] <Belinda Tanith> He has chosen the crown.
[22:25] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is focusing, preparing to fight.
[22:25] * ??? reaches for something.
[22:25] * Eitak_Razal casts teleport on the kid to send him to the lobby. A strong enough will can reisist the spell
[22:25] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And you, Tanith. What do you choose?
[22:25] * Belinda Tanith looks sad, and observes what happens.
[22:25] <spiritflame> ??? rolls 1d20 [ 9 ]
[22:25] * ??? gets teleported.
[22:25] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte tolds her hand behind her, summonng a hex field behind her
[22:25] <???> DAMNIT!
[22:26] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte compresses it
[22:26] * Eitak_Razal notes she only sent him to the lobby... so it doesn't take much t owalk back. Just saying
[22:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Your object of interest is gone.
[22:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Explain yourself.
[22:26] <Belinda Tanith> Indeed.
[22:26] *** The door slams shut behind them.
[22:26] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte smirks
[22:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No need to hide now, is there.
[22:27] <Belinda Tanith> You have chosen the doll for him. This is what I had hoped, and it is a valid choice.
[22:27] <???> (( wait, was he teleported out or not, what Belinda said made me think otherwise for some reason. ))
[22:27] <Eitak_Razal> (( That's up to you really. ))
[22:27] *** Ultimately, player, what happened is your decision.
[22:28] *** Ghost voice high-five to Eitak!
[22:28] <???> (( Yeah, but in all fairness, he didn't pass your deal. ))
[22:28] *** if that is the way you see it, then ??? is gone.
[22:28] <Eitak_Razal> (( Eitak's spell is the kind that cna be resisted if you really don't want to leave, if you want to stay, you stay, thats it. Your call entirely ))
[22:29] *** Moving on.
[22:29] * Belinda Tanith puts her hair up. "I was drawn here by the destiny of the children here. There is no blame to attach to my arrival. Were their futures paltry, I would not be present.
[22:30] * ??? attempts going back down the elevator again. (I'll go this way)
[22:30] <Eitak_Razal> Shall I set her on fire yet?
[22:30] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Not yet but flames at the ready.
[22:30] <Belinda Tanith> As such they are entitled to my skills. Every magic, every skill, every classic, and every greeting.
[22:30] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That there is what got my hackles up.
[22:30] <Belinda Tanith> I have told you why I arrived.
[22:30] <Belinda Tanith> I have STAYED here because I was employed by their parents---and you have assulted me anyway.
[22:30] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You seek children of great destiny.
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You seek to totor them.
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^Tutor
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> to mould them.
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now, I'm no Time Lord.
[22:31] <Belinda Tanith> As their parents instructed----the parents who hired me---and you have attacked me.
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But I know what can happen to the future.
[22:31] * Belinda Tanith suddenly looks much taller.
[22:31] <Belinda Tanith> DID YOU GET THEIR PERMISSION?
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> With that many children of desinty in one person's hands.
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I. DO. NOT. NEED. IT.
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That is what you ARE NOT GRASPING.
[22:32] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I don't CARE what deals you've MADE
[22:32] <Eitak_Razal> F[BLEEP]k that. Our freinds are our freinds! They trust us to protect their children when they can't
[22:32] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This whole PLACE IS MY FAMILY.
[22:32] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> AND *I* WILL DEFEND THEM.
[22:32] <Belinda Tanith> You stand here, in a room for children, ready to draw my blood. If you do so, you will join but one other person.
[22:32] <Eitak_Razal> ...Yeah
[22:32] <Belinda Tanith> You will defend them, you say?
[22:32] <Belinda Tanith> You are bound to do so, you say?
[22:32] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I will draw your blood if you give me cause.
[22:33] <Belinda Tanith> You shall do so with all means, you say?
[22:33] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm not bound.
[22:33] * Eitak_Razal is related to half the hotel, though she doesn't know it...
[22:33] <Belinda Tanith> Then you MAY UNDERSTAND.
[22:33] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I do it because I want to.
[22:33] <Belinda Tanith> Do not speak to me of defence. If my students or wards were here when you forced entry, every one of you would be incapacitated or dead.
[22:33] * Belinda Tanith 's eyes glow green.
[22:34] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh? Why? Would thjey be made to fight for you~?
[22:34] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Poppets~?
[22:34] <Belinda Tanith> Never.
[22:34] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Then why.
[22:34] <Belinda Tanith> I would NEVER abide a child losing their childhood prematurely. Least of all due to my actions. I gave the boy a choice.
[22:34] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hmm? What makes you say they would turn on us?!
[22:34] <Belinda Tanith> Did I say that?
[22:35] <Belinda Tanith> Did I say I was a threat to them?
[22:35] <Belinda Tanith> Did I say I was a priestess?
[22:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> then why woul dwe be incapacitated.
[22:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No.
[22:35] <Belinda Tanith> No. Those words came from your own mind.
[22:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I did.
[22:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> True!
[22:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And I said "Correct me."
[22:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm still waiting.
[22:35] <Eitak_Razal> Forceing one to give up childhood if they choose is prematurely
[22:35] <Eitak_Razal> the end of childhood is not sudden
[22:35] <Eitak_Razal> It's a gradual thing.
[22:35] <golD_lux> No. We're waiting.
[22:36] <Eitak_Razal> Those that lose that gradual-ness end up broken adults
[22:36] * Belinda Tanith shakes her head, sadly.
[22:36] <golD_lux> She's not the only one who wants to know the truth of you.
[22:36] <Belinda Tanith> I am not beholden to you, but as adults, you are not beholden to me.
[22:36] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Question.
[22:36] <Belinda Tanith> Leave this place.
[22:37] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If we asked you to leave this place, and never return, what would your rpely be.
[22:37] <Belinda Tanith> I would reply that I am a member of the Langister and Gyre families, and that only their words--as parents of the children I ward, can command me.
[22:38] <golD_lux> But you have never accepted an anullemnt of a contract.
[22:38] <golD_lux> So even if they commanded you....
[22:38] <golD_lux> Would you really go.
[22:38] <Belinda Tanith> Then their silver would be mine to keep, along with all other gifts I have been given for exemplary service.
[22:39] <Nelius Raoul> And anything you gave to their kids?
[22:39] <Belinda Tanith> It fascinates me that you have come bearing arms against me. Truly, for even a layperson should be able to understand that if you have seen all of the Langister children as adults, then it would be impossible for your mad derangement to be correct, for I could not have harmed them.
[22:40] <Belinda Tanith> Yet here you stand.
[22:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Time can be rewritten.
[22:40] <Belinda Tanith> Accusing me of murder that I could not have commited. Based upon hearsay.
[22:40] <Belinda Tanith> No.
[22:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I never accused you of murder.
[22:40] <Eitak_Razal> We want awnsers.
[22:40] <Belinda Tanith> The truth is that destiny is carved in stone, and is misinterpreted until it takes place.
[22:40] <Eitak_Razal> You're not giving them
[22:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I accused you of taking something from them.
[22:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hah!
[22:40] <Eitak_Razal> PPPFFFFT
[22:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You klnow nothing of time.
[22:41] <Belinda Tanith> Your speech that destiny is fluid, much like your reasons for standing before me, are based upon your own misunderstandings.
[22:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ....
[22:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> _Really_
[22:41] <Belinda Tanith> I know at least one thing. I know that you are very very wrong.
[22:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I've been to the end of the Universe.
[22:41] <Eitak_Razal> So have I!
[22:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I've been in more places across the timeline than you will ever know.
[22:41] <Eitak_Razal> Fancy party!
[22:41] <Belinda Tanith> ...Please continue, as you have not been wrong yet.
[22:41] * ??? is waiting in the elevator room, assuming the doors are still slammed shut. But if they're not, then he'd be watching from a distance.
[22:41] <Eitak_Razal> Same!
[22:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I have dealt with the Guardians in Yau-Calabi Space.
[22:42] *** The doors are slammed shut.
[22:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I have stared into the Votrex.
[22:42] <Eitak_Razal> I got kidnapped by their servents.
[22:42] <Belinda Tanith> Today you stand before a guardian too.
[22:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Don't you tell me I don't know.
[22:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> A guardian of what.
[22:42] <Belinda Tanith> Then why did you come here?
[22:42] <Belinda Tanith> IF you KNOW, then why have you come here for all the wrong reasons?
[22:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> To get ANSWERS.
[22:42] <Eitak_Razal> Seriously, how the f[BLEEP]k did I get kiddpaned. Normally I blow kiddappers up..
[22:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Proper ANSWERS.
[22:43] * ??? sighs and decides to go 'home'.
[22:43] <Nelius Raoul> Without the endless riddles.
[22:43] <Belinda Tanith> You may ask, if you wish.
[22:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What are you. Exactly.
[22:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Species. Purpose.
[22:44] * golD_lux looks at Paise... she's so... adamant for some reason
[22:44] <Belinda Tanith> My purpose is to prepare and guide children to their destiny, no matter what it may be, I shall prepare them or console them, within the authority granted to me.
[22:44] <Belinda Tanith> With such exemplary children, it should really come as no surprise that I am here.
[22:45] <golD_lux> Species.
[22:45] * Eitak_Razal noes you should probably check and see if the doors are actully locked
[22:45] <Belinda Tanith> Kings and Empresses since time immemorial have rejoiced at my appearance, all but ONE time.
[22:45] <Belinda Tanith> All but once.
[22:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You think their parents can't do the job~?
[22:45] * Belinda Tanith comes closer to GolD_Lux. "Tell me..... do you know of the legend of Heracles?"
[22:45] <golD_lux> I know what schoolkids know.
[22:46] * Belinda Tanith keeps getting closer, her shoulders never moving as she approaches.
[22:46] <Eitak_Razal> You mean the disney movie?
[22:46] <Belinda Tanith> Then perhaps I should ask the being who knows all.
[22:46] * golD_lux stands her ground
[22:46] * Belinda Tanith turns imperiously to PPP. "YOU, who know all. HOW did Heracles get his name?"
[22:46] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh! I hear Sarcasm from the Au Pair~
[22:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The name is a reference to the fact he is an offspring of Hera.
[22:47] <golD_lux> No he's not!
[22:47] <Belinda Tanith> Truly, your wisdom knows NO BOUNDS.
[22:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> SHUT UP <_<
[22:47] <Eitak_Razal> Except as I recall, he wasn't
[22:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It is a TEST
[22:48] <golD_lux> ...
[22:48] <Eitak_Razal> And you're getting it wrong because?
[22:48] <Belinda Tanith> I have said before that my patience with innocent children is infinite. You are neither one.
[22:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> His name means "Glory of Hera".
[22:48] * Belinda Tanith turns to Cressida again. "If you know more than she, then answer my question. HOW did Heracles get his name?"
[22:49] <golD_lux> I told you I know what schoolkids know ><
[22:49] <golD_lux> I know he did the 12 labors.
[22:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It was a ritual name.
[22:49] <Eitak_Razal> He uh... Had a flying horse? Or was that only in the disney movie?
[22:49] <Belinda Tanith> Oh, that part is true.
[22:50] <Eitak_Razal> He beat up the hydra and a lion..
[22:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Bestowed upon him by Apollo.
[22:50] <Belinda Tanith> That part also happened.
[22:50] <Eitak_Razal> And He was the product of Zeus cheating on Hera. But really Zues was always cheating on Hera
[22:50] <Belinda Tanith> Who was his enemy?
[22:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> BEsides Hera?
[22:50] <Eitak_Razal> Oh and he killed his wife and a diffrent wife killed him...
[22:51] <Eitak_Razal> Hades?
[22:51] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well he either died or achieve apotheosis. Or both.
[22:51] <Nelius Raoul> Eitak, lay off the Disney flicks.
[22:51] <Eitak_Razal> And didn't he have a centaur buddy he accidently killed?
[22:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Wha tis the point.
[22:53] <Belinda Tanith> Oh no. Golden Throned Hera was his enemy.
[22:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What does Hercules have to do with you.
[22:53] <Belinda Tanith> But it was because he killed her servants.
[22:53] <Belinda Tanith> What does he have to do with me? I told your friend that in attempting to draw my blood, she has joined only one other being.
[22:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> When Hercules was eight months old Hera sent two serpents to his room to suffocate and choke him in his cradle.
[22:54] <Eitak_Razal> I'm pretty sure being the product of her husband was enough to cause a grudge
[22:54] * Belinda Tanith looks furious.
[22:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> She retarded his birth so Persesus came first.
[22:54] <Eitak_Razal> *husband's cheating
[22:54] <Belinda Tanith> She did NOT send serpents to slay him!
[22:55] <Belinda Tanith> She sent them to give him what he most lacked.
[22:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh really.
[22:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And what was that.
[22:55] <Eitak_Razal> So you're saying all known myth is a Lie?
[22:55] <Belinda Tanith> But he slew them. He slew his teachers over and over.
[22:55] <Belinda Tanith> Hera never forgave him for that.
[22:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> .....
[22:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Are you a "teacher" in the same vein~
[22:56] <Belinda Tanith> What happened to the being who was sent to teach him music?
[22:56] <Belinda Tanith> Go on. Tell me.
[22:56] * Belinda Tanith glares at Cressida.
[22:56] <golD_lux> He killed him.
[22:56] * Eitak_Razal puls out her phone and starts googleng
[22:56] <golD_lux> He had no self-control at the time.
[22:56] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ....
[22:56] <Belinda Tanith> LIES.
[22:56] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Okay wait.
[22:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Are you saying you're here to keep the childrne of destiny...
[22:57] <Belinda Tanith> AS I HAVE SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL!
[22:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> from accidentally going overboard with their powers?
[22:57] <Belinda Tanith> And EVERY OTHER THING THEY MAY NEED, I SHALL PROVIDE IT!
[22:58] * Belinda Tanith 's eyes turn green and slitted, and her dress whirls around into armor and scimitars sashes flying from it...
[22:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> /em throws up a hex barrier
[22:58] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte throws up a hex barrier
[22:58] * golD_lux leaps back
[22:58] * Eitak_Razal creates a magical one
[22:59] * Belinda Tanith 's dress is gone. She has a long, serpentine tail, meters in length, that ripples in anger.
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> YOU ARE A SERPENT
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> YES
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> POINTS TO PEINFORTE
[22:59] <Belinda Tanith> And YOU are NO CHILD!
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> WOO HOO!
[22:59] <Belinda Tanith> You shall LEAVE this nursery AT ONCE!
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte>
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I said WOO HOO!
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I AM CLEARLY ONE!
[22:59] <golD_lux> Not now Paise! XD
[23:00] <Eitak_Razal> I wish I could be a kid...
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You know what!
[23:00] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte takes a picture of her
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Maybe I *will* leave.
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And just show this to Yai and Solar
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And Zaira
[23:00] <Belinda Tanith> Very well, Paisley Pythia Peinforte.
[23:00] <Belinda Tanith> You may do so.
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And then see if you get to stay on~
[23:00] <Belinda Tanith> That is why I came here, after all.
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mmm~?
[23:01] <Belinda Tanith> I am certain that when you show the wolf-woman, and the fox-people, and the eldritch father that their au-pair is a mythical being that only champions the greatest, they will heed you once you tell them all of your errors tonight.
[23:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh you are snarky.
[23:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Except you weren't honest with them, were you?
[23:02] * Belinda Tanith 's silver scimitars and breastplate and helm and silver-threaded dress slide down her body and form the filigree and decorations once again.
[23:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> you didn't walk in like that and offer your services.
[23:02] <Belinda Tanith> I was utterly honest with them.
[23:02] <Belinda Tanith> I told them I would live or die to protect their children, and I meant it.
[23:02] <Belinda Tanith> I told them I was peerless in experience, and I meant it.
[23:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What's your name. I'm pretty sure it's not "Belinda Tanith".
[23:02] <Belinda Tanith> I told them that I was here because their children were special, I meant it.
[23:03] <Belinda Tanith> All of the things I told them were true.
[23:03] <Belinda Tanith> Where you?
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> On that your case may rise or fall.
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Were I what?
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I always said I could have been wrong.
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I always stressed it was an idea.
[23:03] <Belinda Tanith> You believed I was a priestess who was out to commit the abominable act of harming children. All of the reasons you came here were wrong.
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Not all, serpent.
[23:03] <Belinda Tanith> Naga.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Sup my Naga.
[23:04] * Belinda Tanith nods to Eitak.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now, this is a position I can work from.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You're a Naga.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> A strong one who wants to Protect ansd Champion the children.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> To keep them from overexerting themselves.
[23:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So you say, anyway.
[23:05] <Belinda Tanith> One of the few remaining... one of the few.
[23:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Tell me something.
[23:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The one who did not welcome you.
[23:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Who was it.
[23:06] <Belinda Tanith> The one whose stars I looked at tonight, and the being that Cressida Sumire has joined. I would NEVER harm a child, under any circumstances. Even if it meant my life. My sisters and ancestors were the same. Even if that child was about to kill them....
[23:06] <golD_lux> Wait.
[23:06] <Belinda Tanith> How DO you believe an infant could have killed to serpents in his bedroom? Or a music teacher with their own harp?
[23:07] <golD_lux> What being that I've joined?
[23:07] <Belinda Tanith> I never harm children. Never.
[23:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> He was a demigod.
[23:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's not that hard.
[23:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This is a bloke who slapped his friend too hard on the shoulder and killed him.
[23:08] <Belinda Tanith> Because he did not listen to those who would have taught him better.
[23:08] <Belinda Tanith> Hera had good reason to despise him.
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> He was a child!
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> They don't have control at that age!
[23:08] <Belinda Tanith> And we would never harm a child.
[23:08] * Belinda Tanith looks lonely and sad.
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Were you one of those snakes?
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Are you one of Hera's snakes?
[23:09] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is not asking angrily or accusingly.
[23:09] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is genuinely curious
[23:09] <Belinda Tanith> One of those serpents? No, I was not. Had I been, I would not stand before you today.
[23:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well I assumed there might have been more.
[23:09] <Belinda Tanith> Because even though he knew not what he was doing, and his grip meant death, they did not retaliate. I would not have either.
[23:10] <Belinda Tanith> But his destiny was a grand one, and our duty was to be there.
[23:10] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte narroes her eyes and looks at this Naga. Really looks at her, trying to sense deception or truth in her words by instinct, not powers
[23:11] <Belinda Tanith> Now you have children who are destined for things that, like in the days of old, laypeople cannot conceive. It should come as no surprise that I am here.
[23:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Let me explain something.
[23:11] <Belinda Tanith> I have already begun to tutor the children, and they have grown up to be charismatic rulers and great warriors. What better testimony could there be?
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Ove the last few years I have grown weary of beings who stride into this, my home away from home, with secret agendas, hiding their true selves from us.
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm tire dof hidden menaces.
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And... that's why I was so forceful.
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I demand truth.
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If my friends are going to be helped.
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I want them to know who's helping them.
[23:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So now, I'm leaving. They will have my report. From there, I will respect their wishes.
[23:13] <Belinda Tanith> Paisley Pythia Peinforte, hubristic though you may be, you are not alone in your weariness for deception. Imagine, if you will, guarding a youthful hero for a decade and change, and warding him from assassins and falsehoods and premature death.
[23:13] <Belinda Tanith> I have done so for centuries upon centuries, but I do it gladly.
[23:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm not hubristic, I'm stubborn.
[23:14] <Belinda Tanith> I love children. They are our future--and those hear are the future more than most.
[23:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I jusrt wish I hadn't had to blast my way down here to get answers.
[23:14] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks to the others
[23:14] <Belinda Tanith> The truth, Paisley Peinforte... is that you did NOT really need to.
[23:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I did needle you for answers before, "Mary Poppins"
[23:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I got nothing.
[23:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I never would have seen your true form, would I?
[23:15] *** The door melts down into silver, and coagulates into ornaments of Belinda's dress. "Who do you think that character yo unamed is based upon?"
[23:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> the Pythia is an ancient Gallifreyan Serpent from the Old Times.
[23:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I am full aware.
[23:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The Sisterhood takes their power from her.
[23:15] * Belinda Tanith stands once more, bedecked in silver, tall and regal, face flawless.
[23:16] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks to the others.
[23:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Any objections to my decision?
[23:16] <Belinda Tanith> Then when you commune with your sisters again, and pass your power to your progenitress---do inform her that Belinda sends her congratulations. ^__^
[23:17] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte , hearing no objections, bows from the waist.
[23:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I won't apologize for busting down your door.
[23:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Just as you protect the children, I protect my own.
[23:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> However, I hope your words are true.
[23:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I want to believe so.
[23:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I think they are.
[23:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We will leave in peace.
[23:18] <Belinda Tanith> You needn't apologize for the actions you have taken with genuine aims of protecting children--no matter how extreme or grotesque they are. I certainly never have.
[23:19] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte chuckles at the notion of her methods being "Grotesque."
[23:19] * Belinda Tanith holds her hands out, and the silver flows from her rings and bangles and dress like a fast-moving spiderweb, creating the harp again.
[23:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> See you around.
[23:19] *** Paisley Pythia Peinforte [paisely_p@firstcircle.karn03-kasterborusrelay.sen] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Lobby)
[23:19] * golD_lux gives Belinda one last look and goes
[23:19] *** golD_lux [cressida_xadium-aino@s-proc78.ishtarterra.cmn] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Not the kind of big bang you were expecting, I'm sure~)
[23:19] <Eitak_Razal> Hmmm

[23:20] *** Nelius Raoul [Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has left #suburbansenshi3 (.....)
[23:21] * Belinda Tanith strums her harp once more, and sings.
[23:23] * Belinda Tanith plays the harp, and the notes reverbate through the nursery...
[23:23] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Toyland... ♫
[23:23] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Toyland... ♫
[23:25] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Little girl and boy land... ♫
[23:25] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ While you dwell within it... ♫
[23:25] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ You are ever happy there! ♫
[23:26] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Childhood's joy land! ♫
[23:26] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Mystical Merry toy land ♫
[23:26] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Once you pass its borders, you can never return again! ♫
[23:27] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ When you've grown up my dears... ♫
[23:27] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ And you are as old as I... ♫
[23:27] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ You'll laugh and ponder on the years... ♫
[23:27] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ That roll so swiftly by my dears... ♫
[23:27] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ That roll so swiftly by. ♫
[23:28] * Belinda Tanith plucks the strings of the silver harp, slowly.
[23:28] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Childhood's joy land... ♫
[23:28] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Beautiful Girl and boy land.... ♫
[23:28] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ But once you leave its borders... ♫
[23:28] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ You can never return again. ♫
[23:29] * Belinda Tanith pauses until the last notes have faded amid the bunk beds and the toy trains and the dolls, and the nursery is silent.
[23:29] * Belinda Tanith smiles once more and breaks into spirited song anew!
[23:30] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ One cannot see within it, how toy land is small! ♫
[23:30] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ And one must trek beyond it to grow sturdy wise and tall! ♫
[23:30] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ I wait upon the border, with doll and crown in hand! ♫
[23:30] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ Approach and choose but one to use to frolic or command! ♫
[23:31] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ But each step of the way to'wards that day, o Children follow me! ♫
[23:31] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ None in toyland climb mountains, nor sail upon the sea! ♫
[23:32] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ The conquests there are idle and the teapots steam no tea! ♫
[23:32] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ But as long as they still light your way? Oh children follow me! ♫
[23:32] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ And when you survey toyland, from the wider realm afar ♫
[23:33] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ You'll know each day in toy land has shaped who you now are! ♫
[23:33] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ To leave is the way you'll have your say! ♫
[23:33] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ But until that day we laugh and play.... ♫
[23:33] <Belinda Tanith> ♫ So children, follow me. ♫
[23:35] * Belinda Tanith smiles and remembers as the notes echo on off the toys and off of the walls, as though they refuse to die.
[23:36] *** Belinda extends her hand, and the silver harp melts, and streams in rivulets back up her arm, forming rings and bangles and dress embroidery everywhere but the one bullet hole.
[23:36] <Belinda Tanith> ^__^
[23:37] * Belinda Tanith leaves through the door, making no footfalls, with her eyes and silver twinkling, and goes to check up on the HOTEL children.

[21:52] * Nelius Raoul walks through the door as well, though you can see a few loose Celestial feathers on his shoulder.
[21:52] * Eitak_Razal has set out comfery folding chairs for everyone.
[21:52] <Nelius Raoul> Hope I'm on time.
[21:52] * Nima Tsewang looks around the room...
[21:52] <Masked_Figure> We have all 13 warriors, though not all responded to my call.
[21:53] <Masked Figure> Ice. Shadow. Holy. Thunder. Wind (Via phone) And time
[21:54] <Masked Figure> You 6, plus the absent 7, are the Warriors of Dawn.
[21:56] <Masked Figure> Firstly. Do you have any questions you feel you must ask?
[21:56] <Masked Figure> Now is the time for awnsers, though not all can be readily given, I shall do my best to provide what I can at this juncture
[21:57] <Nima Tsewang> What are we supposed to do? The crystal said it wanted help, but nothing has happened.
[21:58] <Masked Figure> A very good question.
[21:58] <Masked Figure> Simply put. The Crystals of 1337 are dying.
[21:58] <Masked Figure> Wihout them reality will fade to nothing. The univrese will crumble.
[21:59] <Masked Figure> The Crystals of 3400 saw this plight and due to the prayers of the people here, have power to spare.
[22:00] <Masked Figure> Your mission is to seek out the crystals wherever they may hide and use the power you have been given to revive the crystals
[22:00] <Eilean> gotcha
[22:00] <Chiyoko Shinkaze> understood!
[22:00] <Matsumi Kaze> ♦ totally!
[22:01] <Nelius Raoul> Nima's question segues into mine rather nicely---about the crystals dying. Is this something natural, or is there some malevolent force deciding to screw with reality for its own amusement?
[22:01] <Masked Figure> The forces of evil will seak to stop you at every turn.
[22:01] <Masked Figure> ...We do not know.
[22:01] <Masked Figure> We think it is a mix of both.
[22:02] <Nima Tsewang> Maybe it's because so many people are further away from nature.
[22:02] <Masked Figure> That is possible yes.
[22:02] <Nelius Raoul> Either way, regardless of what's causing it, considering that this is beginning to bleed into other worlds, it's on us to set things right.
[22:03] <Masked Figure> In this periloous time there are those that would seek to control the powers of the crystals.
[22:04] <Masked Figure> While many of ill intent woul not want reality to crumble either, they would do anything in their power to steal the Crystal Spark you carry and ignite the crystals on their own terms, under their command
[22:06] <Masked Figure> Any more questions?
[22:08] <Nelius Raoul> Anything we'll be needing in particular for this--- other than getting any weapons/armor/supplies and whatnot?
[22:08] <Matsumi Kaze> ♦ what he said
[22:09] <Nima Tsewang> So we just...travel and try to find the main crystals?
[22:10] <Masked Figure> Nothing more then your will and your Crystal Spark. And of course your freinds to back you up.
[22:10] <Masked Figure> Not just travel the earth, travel the universe.
[22:10] * Masked Figure strums a song
[22:11] <Matsumi Kaze> ♦ travel the universe?
[22:12] <Masked Figure> The Crystal of Time rests where only the Lords may tread. The Crystal of Ice is hidden away in a frozen land, The Shadow crystal sits in the home of the strongest demon.
[22:12] <Nima Tsewang> but...the universe?
[22:13] <Matsumi Kaze> ♦ and the wind crystal?
[22:13] <Masked Figure> Worry not. You have many allies to whom traveling such distances is easy.
[22:13] <Nima Tsewang> it would take more than our livetimes to search a universe
[22:13] <Nelius Raoul> Yes, Nima--- the crystals of this universe are scattered all around. Cressida, our Masked Friend here, and I did some discerning as to where most of these can be found.
[22:14] <Masked Figure> (( Did we happen to write that down somehwere... cause I've been dumb and forgotten half of em ))
[22:14] <Nelius Raoul> (( I got that written down--- both IC and OOC. ))
[22:15] <Masked Figure> (( Could you send it to me please ))
[22:16] <Nelius Raoul> (( Shall I Chatango you, or just have Nelius rattle off the list? I did say he IC took notes on this. ))
[22:16] <Masked Figure> (( the Latter is fine ))
[22:17] * Nelius Raoul reaches into his pocket. "Now where'd I--- aha."
[22:17] <Nelius Raoul> Here's the list of the Crystal Locations we'll be hitting up. Just ask away and I'll tell you where we're headed.
[22:17] * Nelius Raoul extracts his note.
[22:18] <Matsumi Kaze> ♦ wind?
[22:19] <Nelius Raoul> According to what we found, it's most likely on the Planet Saturn, given its near-constant winds in this time.
[22:20] <Chiyoko Shinkaze> thunder?
[22:20] <Nelius Raoul> On Jupiter, within its Great Red Spot.
[22:21] <Eilean> ...holy
[22:21] <Masked Figure> Celesita
[22:21] <Nima Tsewang> and ice?
[22:22] <Nelius Raoul> Antarctica.
[22:23] * Nima Tsewang looks immensely relieved
[22:24] <Eitak_Razal> Time?
[22:24] <Eitak_Razal> And don't say Gallifrey
[22:24] <Nelius Raoul> .....sorry, Eitak.
[22:25] <Eitak_Razal> Damn
[22:25] <Nelius Raoul> Them's the breaks.
[22:26] <Nelius Raoul> As for the Shadow Crystal, we'll be headed to Overlord Salome's Netherworld.
[22:26] <Eitak_Razal> Didn't she Marry Zetta?
[22:27] <Nelius Raoul> She did.
[22:27] <Nelius Raoul> Though it may be some years before we get to meet Petta in-person.
[22:28] <Nelius Raoul> But I'm getting off-track. There are still 7 left to rattle off.
[22:29] <Eitak_Razal> Then Rattle
[22:29] <Nelius Raoul> The Fire Crystal's in Mount Vesuvius--- the same volcano that took out Pompeii.
[22:30] <Nelius Raoul> The Water Crystal's somewhere within the Ocean Depths here.
[22:30] <Nelius Raoul> The Earth Crystal is buried deep underground. Those, along with the Ice Crystal, are the ones we can find here on Earth.
[22:31] <Nelius Raoul> The Dark Crystal is said to be somewhere within the depths of space. I remember Nivek mentioning I should ask someone named Zennay for more info to get a more precise fix--- unless the Dark's holder can pinpoint it.
[22:32] * Nivek_Razal nods.
[22:32] <Nelius Raoul> The Spirit Crystal's in Soul Society. We'll likely be needing Sakura X. Aino's help to get there.
[22:33] <Nelius Raoul> The Light Crystal is said to rest within the Heart of a Star.
[22:33] <Eitak_Razal> ANd just HOW are we supposed to get inside a star
[22:34] <Nelius Raoul> Considering we're among people that can eat Black Holes, I'll imagine there is a way.
[22:34] <Masked_Figure> ....Magic?
[22:34] <Nima Tsewang> ask the nameless doctor
[22:34] * Masked Figure just smirks.
[22:34] <Nelius Raoul> Anyway, the last Crystal, Nature, is said to live within the Emerald Dream.
[22:35] <Eitak_Razal> On Azaroth right? We're gonna need Frost to find us a Druid
[22:36] <Nelius Raoul> Duly noted.
[22:38] <Nelius Raoul> Those are the locations of the crystals--- I'll be keeping some copies of the locations, so if we need pointed somewhere, just ask. Either way, I'll turn the floor back over to our Masked Friend.
[22:39] <Masked Figure> Your questions actully covered pretty much everythig I needed to tell you.
[22:39] <Masked Figure> Anythign else, at all?
[22:39] <Eitak_Razal> Yeah! Why didn't the door work for me the first time. And how come Nivek already had my spark!
[22:40] <Nivek_Razal> ...really?
[22:40] <Nivek_Razal> You forgot?
[22:40] <Nivek_Razal> Then again, you were just a child....
[22:40] <Nivek_Razal> The Crystal pre-selected you years ago incase of an event like this.
[22:40] <Eitak_Razal> ...oh.
[22:42] * Nima Tsewang sneacks back out
[22:42] <Nelius Raoul> So that is part of why she was the sleeper?
[22:42] <Masked Figure> Any other Questions?
[22:42] <Masked Figure> Yes.
[22:42] *** Nima Tsewang has left #suburbansenshi3 (miara's been there, maybe she'll help me when she's back)
[22:42] <Eilean> no I think I've got it
[22:43] <Matsumi Kaze> ♦ understood!
[22:45] <Nelius Raoul> I comprehend.
[22:47] <Masked Figure> If that's all the questions you have, we'll end this meeting.
[22:49] * Chiyoko Shinkaze bows
[22:51] * Nelius Raoul nods.
[22:53] *** Chiyoko Shinkaze has left #suburbansenshi3
[22:53] * Eitak_Razal wanders off, heading for an unseen exit further in.

[19:31] * Nelius Raoul reaches into his pocket, ready to draw out his weapon.

[19:37] * Vermellia X. Rosso taps hir on the back with the tip of her Scythe. It feels like a tickle.

[19:45] <Vermellia X. Rosso> She's still my friend!
[19:46] * Vermellia X. Rosso aims her Scythe at Komori there
[19:46] <Komori> and you bunch were stupid enough to fall for it
[19:46] <Komori> have to hand it to the demon.....I've never seen anyone move so fast without checking that everything was alright
[19:47] <Nelius Raoul> Doesn't matter--- all we have to do is kill you here.

[19:49] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Are you ...a vampire?
[19:50] <Komori> ha nothing so low
[19:50] <Nelius Raoul> ....so just another bottom-feeding Youkai after the Shikon Jewel Shards.
[19:50] * Giselle Bellerose grimaces at that
[19:50] *** there's a slight clink of metal and a gust of air
[19:50] <Kanri-chan> ack!
[19:50] * Vermellia X. Rosso switches out High Explosive ammo clip for Holy Ammo Clip
[19:51] <Giselle Bellerose> (( eh? ))
[19:51] * Vermellia X. Rosso figures holy ammo should work on a yokai
[19:52] * Vermellia X. Rosso hears the clink and sniffs for gas
[19:52] * Komori glances and looks annoyed
[19:52] <Komori> ..I guess I'll just need to kill you all
[19:52] * Vermellia X. Rosso just fires a shot into his leg
[19:53] *** the bullet richoates off thin air
[19:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Allow me to retort.
[19:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ....
[19:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Or not!
[19:53] * Komori grins
[19:53] * Vermellia X. Rosso ZIps to the side to avoid ricochet
[19:53] <Komori> let me retort
[19:53] * Down the hall someone yelps and hits the floor
[19:53] <Nelius Raoul> Air manipulation--- hope that's not your only gimmick.
[19:53] * Komori opens his mouth just a bit
[19:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> That's MY line!
[19:54] * Vermellia X. Rosso DODGES ppre-emtively
[19:54] *** there's a slight near inadble high pitched sound which TEARS through the room
[19:54] * Vermellia X. Rosso can smell a blast coming
[19:54] <Vermellia X. Rosso> GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHGGH
[19:54] <Vermellia X. Rosso> <-- but not that
[19:54] <Giselle Bellerose> gaaaaaah ><
[19:54] * Vermellia X. Rosso 's head is SPLITTING
[19:55] * Vermellia X. Rosso 's hearing is seuper sensitive and OW
[19:55] * Vermellia X. Rosso srops her Scythe
[19:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ^srops
[19:55] * Nelius Raoul stands there, not even acknowleding the whining noise. A shimmering aura floods from him.
[19:55] * Vermellia X. Rosso fishes in her pockets for the earplugs she used in the Demon HOTEL
[19:55] * Vermellia X. Rosso puts them in
[19:55] * Vermellia X. Rosso gets back up, her equilibirum all jacked up for now
[19:56] <Nelius Raoul> Well then--- hope you wrote your last will and testament, you s[BLEEP]tpile.
[19:56] * SailorBlackstar popped up out of the ground "mind if i crash the party?"
[19:56] <Komori> doesn't matter..the more corpses..the merrier
[19:57] * Nelius Raoul strolls right up to Komori. "Then we'll begin with yours."
[19:57] <Masked Figure> Corpses? There will be only one tonight.
[19:57] * Komori grins
[19:57] * SailorBlackstar looks at Komori "nelius back up! thats a barrier!"
[19:58] <Nelius Raoul> Barriers are meant to be busted down.
[19:58] * Vermellia X. Rosso slips into the shadows and back out again next to the cage where Kanri Original is being held while Nelius attempts to just power through everything
[19:58] <SailorBlackstar> not this one.. if yuh attack it...it atacks back...with equal or greater force
[19:58] * Komori opens his coat...a thousand bats rushing out, fangs open...heading to attack the heroes
[19:59] * Vermellia X. Rosso tries to examine the barrier arounf it
[19:59] *** both kanri's are gone
[19:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...
[19:59] * Nelius Raoul rears his left hand back, the eye on his hand glowing an ominous green. A wave of force slices out around him, going to tear the bats to pieces.
[20:00] * Komori 's barrier is invisible
[20:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ffs
[20:00] * Vermellia X. Rosso wraps her cloak around her
[20:00] * Masked Figure gestures and summons a fireball inside the barrier if there's space
[20:00] * Giselle Bellerose turns into a miss....slashing her own power at the bats
[20:00] * Vermellia X. Rosso folds the Scythe into a hand blaster configuration
[20:00] * Vermellia X. Rosso starts using her hyperspeed to snipe the bats
[20:01] *** the fireball BOUNCES off the barrier....
[20:01] * SailorBlackstar floats out of the way of the bats and inspects the air around the barrier closely. [[where are yuh??]
[20:02] * Masked Figure notes it wasn't THROWN AT, but cast to conjure inside. If it's gonna bounce, it's gonna bounce inward :3
[20:03] *** the barrier is wrapped so tightly there isn't anywhere FOR the fireball to show up in
[20:04] <Nelius Raoul> (I wonder where this barrier's weakness is. Where's it being generated from?)
[20:04] * Masked Figure was checking that. Noted.
[20:05] * SailorBlackstar sets a canister on the ground and a barrier of her own behind it setting smoke to find any and all cracks, gaps, and spaces in Komori's barrier
[20:06] <SailorBlackstar> what kind of demon are yuh?
[20:06] * Komori 's back bursts..revealing large claw like bat wings which SLASH at Masked Figure
[20:06] <SailorBlackstar> ew...
[20:08] <SailorBlackstar> - He's Batman! -
[20:09] <Komori> (( did the attack contact? ))
[20:09] * Masked Figure slides backwards to dodge
[20:10] * Masked Figure barely dodged. Had they not been focused on Komori it would have hit.
[20:10] * SailorBlackstar watches the smoke (come on come on)
[20:10] * Vermellia X. Rosso stays away from the fight, trying to see if she can determine where the Kanris went by sight or smell
[20:10] * Kanri-chan 's scent comes from down the hall away from the fight
[20:10] *** the smoke rises.....revealing a body tight barrier.........wait no...there's a gap in the back of it
[20:11] * Vermellia X. Rosso slips into the shadows and then back out into the hallway, DASHING down the hall to follow the scent
[20:12] * SailorBlackstar flies foreward and STABS at Komori's back
[20:12] <Komori> GARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGH
[20:12] * Kanri-chan 's scent is in the last room
[20:12] * Nelius Raoul Instant-Transmissions behind Komori and shoots him through the gap in the back!
[20:12] * Giselle Bellerose summons masses of moths to swarm and fight the bats (ironically)
[20:12] * Vermellia X. Rosso heads for the last room and checks the door.
[20:12] * Komori winces and tries SLASHING Raoul
[20:13] * Kanri-chan opens the door and blocks the way "she's still... changing
[20:13] <Nelius Raoul> (( What was slashing at Nelius? Claw-wing? Actual Claw? ))
[20:14] <Komori> (( actual claw ))
[20:14] * Nelius Raoul brings a transmorphed hand up to cut THROUGH the claw!
[20:14] * Vermellia X. Rosso has moved to: [ Hallway ]
[20:14] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Changing
[20:14] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] ??
[20:14] * SailorBlackstar twists her blade "that's for Kanri"
[20:14] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ hallway ]
[20:15] <Komori> GRAGh *loses his hand*....
[20:15] * Kanri-chan [hallway] opens the door and shows Vermellia the morphing mass on the ground
[20:15] * Komori growls...and BURSTS out of his clothing
[20:15] * Komori is now known as Bat-Demon
[20:15] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] ....
[20:15] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Whoa.
[20:15] * Bat-Demon BURSTS through the ceiling
[20:15] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Hey, are you all right?
[20:16] * Bat-Demon tries to make a break for it into the sky
[20:16] * Nelius Raoul bursts into his Belderiver form and shoots up after the Bat-Demon!
[20:16] * Nelius Raoul is now known as Belderiver
[20:17] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Hallway] addresses Kanri-chan not the mass
[20:17] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] im fine.. i'd been waiting for her to remember
[20:18] * The mass just writhes and morphs...looks excruciatingly painful. The sound of snapping bones and popping joints
[20:18] * Bat-Demon notices Belderiver and snarls...blasting fire at the demon
[20:18] * Belderiver bursts into smoke, letting the fire pass by harmlessly. He reforms and slashes at the Bat-Demon.
[20:19] * SailorBlackstar looks up through the ceiling "lets go get kanri... big brother is going to take care of that
[20:19] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] She's... the doppelganger, right?
[20:19] * Bat-Demon is slashed.....and then tries to BITE Belderiver's shoulder
[20:19] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] yes. but she didnt want to be.
[20:19] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Do you know who she is really?
[20:20] * Belderiver is bitten, but grins, showing a mouth filled with many sharp demonic teeth! He goes for the throat!!
[20:20] <Masked Figure> Right.
[20:20] <Belderiver> - Lemme show you how a REAL DEMON bites!!! -
[20:20] <Masked Figure> Not like I can fly anyways.
[20:20] * Masked Figure heads twords where Kanri and Vermy are.
[20:20] * Giselle Bellerose follows the others
[20:20] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] exactly who Komori said... she's his spy....but it was against her will
[20:21] * Bat-Demon tries to dig his claws into Belderiver and hold onto him tightly
[20:21] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] he planned to have her take my place...yuh guys would make her think she's me..and he'd keep the real one.
[20:21] * Belderiver goes to rip the Bat-Demon's throat out with his teeth.
[20:22] * Bat-Demon 's throat is ripped open.....and sets himself on fire..holding on tightly to the opposing demon
[20:22] * Belderiver forms back into smoke, reforming away slightly.
[20:23] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] So wait... how did you get out of your cage?
[20:23] <Belderiver> - You didn't learn from the first one, did you? -
[20:23] * Bat-Demon starts to fall......and CRASHES onto the shop
[20:23] * Belderiver teleports on down.
[20:23] * Kanri-chan [hallway] grins "living on the streets i learned to pick locks."
[20:24] * Bat-Demon 's firey body starts to set the nearby buildings on fire
[20:24] * The mass finally calms down to the form of a 13 year old girl, naked and shivering
[20:24] * Masked Figure has moved to: [ Hallway ]
[20:24] * Belderiver forms a sigil in the air with a finger, then sprays a Water/Ice spell onto the buildings, to quell their flames while he drops down to dispose of the body.
[20:24] * Kanri-chan [hallway] goes over and looks for a b;anket to drape over the girl
[20:25] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Hallway] takes off her cloak and uses that.
[20:25] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] There ya go.
[20:25] * Bat-Demon 's body EXPLODES
[20:25] * Girl jumps and shakes "please dont hurt me!"
[20:26] * Belderiver forms a wing to shield himself from the blast.
[20:26] *** Bat-Demon has left #suburbansenshi3 (dead)
[20:26] <Giselle Bellerose> we're not going to hurt you...
[20:27] * Kanri-chan [hallway] smiles and helps the girl up "they wont.. they arent like Komori"
[20:27] <Belderiver> (Now then, where are the shards that d[BLEEP]kless wonder stole?)
[20:28] <Girl> i didnt mean to... i didnt know... i swear
[20:29] * Belderiver looks down at the exploded remains of the Bat-Demon, to see if, like the Orochi, it consumed the shards for a power-boost.
[20:30] <SailorBlackstar> whats taking that rage machine so long?
[20:30] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Don't worry about it.
[20:30] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] We're here to help.
[20:30] <Girl> what am i gunna do now?
[20:31] <Masked Figure> [Hallway] Forge life. A fresh start.
[20:31] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Yeah.
[20:31] * Belderiver drops down to the corpse, to get a better look for the shards, if they're there.
[20:32] * Kanri-chan [hallway] grins "thats a great idea... we'll call yuh Keiko. for new beginning"
[20:32] *** there are no shards in or around the body. Komori didnt use any
[20:32] <Girl> Keiko?
[20:33] <Giselle Bellerose> that's a nice name!
[20:33] <Belderiver> (No shards... explains how weak he was. Then where are they?)
[20:33] * Girl sniffles "th-thank you. I'm sorry about all this."
[20:34] * Belderiver heads back inside, reverting to normal.
[20:34] * Belderiver is now known as Nelius Raoul
[20:34] <Nelius Raoul> (Unless this guy was just another minion....)
[20:34] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Hallway] hugs her
[20:34] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] dont worry about the big bad brother... he'll understand.....with time
[20:35] <Girl> O___O
[20:35] * Girl seems surprised by the sudden affection and starts crying
[20:36] <Nelius Raoul> So then...
[20:36] * Nelius Raoul looks from Kanri to the girl.
[20:36] <Nelius Raoul> Gonna guess the girl here was forced to act as a spy--- her behavior was way too erratic, even for being an amnesiac.
[20:36] * Kanri-chan [hallway] grins and runs over to nelius "yuhr late"
[20:36] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] nope.. she really has amnesia
[20:37] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] the only reason she remembered stuff is because of my amulet
[20:37] <Nelius Raoul> That explains that.
[20:37] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] and yuh guys telling her my memories
[20:37] * Girl looks down "im sorry...."
[20:37] <Nelius Raoul> And so she lead us to the real Kanri---- I did say we were gonna spanner this.
[20:38] * Nelius Raoul looks to the girl. "You need not apologize."
[20:38] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] she kept her promise
[20:39] * Nelius Raoul lays his left hand on the girl's head, in an affectionate manner. "You helped us out."
[20:39] * Girl blinks and looks up at Nelius "she was important."
[20:40] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] sooooooooooo i dont know about yuh guys but scraps and water for the last month has me famished!
[20:40] <Giselle Bellerose> I suppose so
[20:40] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] niikun is making casserole!!
[20:41] * Nelius Raoul chuckles. "Very well."
[20:41] * Kanri-chan [hallway] grins
[20:41] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] yesss! keiko yuh'll love it!
[20:41] <Nelius Raoul> However, we do have one slight problem---- that bottom-feeding bat didn't have the shards on him. It's likely he pawned them off to someone else.
[20:42] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Damn.
[20:42] <Masked Figure> [Hallway] Oh great. More plot line exenstions...
[20:43] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] wait
[20:43] <Nelius Raoul> ?
[20:43] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] the shards diappeared after he got back here
[20:43] <Nelius Raoul> So someone stole them off of him?
[20:43] <Nelius Raoul> Or did he place them into a dimensional storage?
[20:44] * SailorBlackstar griiiiiiiiins "that sneaky little girl! i know who has them!"
[20:44] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] ?
[20:44] <Nelius Raoul> Do explain--- Haru saw Miki hand them over.
[20:45] <Masked Figure> [Hallway] Hmmm?
[20:45] <SailorBlackstar> yup.. and she got them back
[20:45] <Nelius Raoul> So Miki stole them back, is what you're saying.
[20:45] <Masked Figure> [Hallway] Huh?
[20:45] <SailorBlackstar> she had a spell put on the shards to teleport them back to her
[20:45] <Nelius Raoul> I see.
[20:46] <SailorBlackstar> very smart
[20:46] * Nelius Raoul actually laughs at that one.
[20:46] <Nelius Raoul> I like it!
[20:46] <SailorBlackstar> gotta give her props for pulling it off
[20:47] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] um thats all nice and fuzzy but keiko needs clothes and i need food. >.>
[20:47] <Nelius Raoul> All in all, I'd say this was productive. Let's head back.
[20:47] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Well for now use my cloak till we get back.
[20:48] * Girl pulls Vermellia's cloak tighter around herself
[20:48] <Girl> thank you
[20:48] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] open the gate niikun!
[20:48] <Nelius Raoul> Among the assets and houses liquidated, and the hidden stores of mooks, I racked up a ton of extra cash.
[20:48] * Nelius Raoul opens a gate to the Hotel.
[20:48] <Kanri-chan> [hallway] of course yuh did
[20:49] * Kanri-chan [hallway] leads Keiko through
[20:49] * SailorBlackstar flies through
[20:49] *** Kanri-chan has left #suburbansenshi3
[20:49] *** Girl has left #suburbansenshi3
[20:49] *** Giselle Bellerose has left #suburbansenshi3
[20:49] *** SailorBlackstar has left #suburbansenshi3 (where's that genius?)
[20:50] * Masked Figure [Hallway] leaves via conventional methods. IE the front door
[20:50] *** Nelius Raoul [Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has left #suburbansenshi3 (I owe Miki one for this.)
[20:51] *** Vermellia X. Rosso [vsxr@s-proc11.arkula.fed] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Some people just need a high-five in the face with a chair!!)
[20:51] *** The gate closes once everyone who's going through makes it.

[17:42] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa vermellia x. rosso
[17:43] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte shields her eyes from the bright sky, her transitions lenses going all black
[17:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Damn this is bright.
[17:43] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Hallway] inhales the fresh grassy breeze
[17:43] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I always loved coming here...
[17:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So this is the family farm, eh?
[17:43] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hallway] Yeah...
[17:44] * Vermellia X. Rosso has moved to: [ ]
[17:44] * Vermellia X. Rosso has moved back to the lobby
[17:44] * Vermellia X. Rosso looks around. There are many riding bunnies slowlly hopping about, chewing grass and being lazy in the summer sun.
[17:44] * Vermellia X. Rosso goes over to one, which nuzzles her
[17:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (Jesus. One of those could eat a man.)
[17:45] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Hey big guy where's Mommy? Where's Mommy Noriko?
[17:46] * The Bunny twtiches its nose and looks off to the East.
[17:46] * Vermellia X. Rosso looks and scents the air. Sure enough she can smell her mother's scent.
[17:50] * The Actuary rides into view on a black bunny
[17:51] * The Actuary prods it into moving a bit faster when she sees she has visitors
[17:51] * The Actuary brings it to a stop near Paisley and Vermellia and dismounts.
[17:51] * The Actuary adjusts a wide-brimmed hat she's wearing. She has a horrible tan from the sun
[17:51] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> snrrk
[17:53] <The Actuary> Paisley... Daughter... what brings you here?
[17:53] * The Actuary 's eyes narrow. "Has something happened at the HOTEL?"
[17:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No more than the usual s[BLEEP]te.
[17:54] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte nods to Vermellia. "She wanted to see you."
[17:54] <The Actuary> ...What's wrong, child?"
[17:55] * Vermellia X. Rosso looks at her mom
[17:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Mom...
[17:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Who's Demetri?
[17:55] <The Actuary> A vampire who used to come to the HOTEL.
[17:56] <The Actuary> I believe he died.
[17:56] * Vermellia X. Rosso shakes her head. "No, not him..."
[17:56] <The Actuary> There was a "Demetri Maximov"... but I didn't really pay attention to him.
[17:56] <Vermellia X. Rosso> No...
[17:57] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Demetri M.X. Gestee...
[17:57] * The Actuary looks at her daugther blankly.
[17:57] <The Actuary> I've never heard that name.
[17:57] * Vermellia X. Rosso rubs her forehead
[17:57] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I could swear...
[17:58] <The Actuary> My Mother had a friend named Leon Gestee. Your father... was a distant relation.
[17:58] * The Actuary frowns, not wanting to remember Augustus right now.
[17:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Mom. Intern was just rifling through the Time Proof Safe and she came across records of "Demetri M.X. Gestee" who used to go to Ten'ou House.
[17:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> And that name... I think..
[17:59] <The Actuary> I have no recollection.
[18:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> That can't be right.
[18:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I just know it.
[18:00] * Vermellia X. Rosso 's pupils are dilating, and it looks like she's slowly succumbing to a panic.
[18:00] <The Actuary> Vermellia?
[18:00] * Vermellia X. Rosso pounds the center of her chest.
[18:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I don't know why I know this!
[18:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> A name I've never heard before until today!
[18:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> But I KNOW it has meaning to our family!
[18:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> In my heart!
[18:01] * The Actuary looks at Paislety in confusion.
[18:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Don't look at me. I have no idea.
[18:02] * Vermellia X. Rosso looks between the two of them.
[18:03] <Vermellia X. Rosso> HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?!
[18:04] <The Actuary> Child, I honestly don't know why you're reacting like this...
[18:04] * Vermellia X. Rosso turns and grabs Paisley by the shoulders
[18:04] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Paise! HELP ME!
[18:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What's wrong?
[18:04] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I...I ...
[18:04] * Vermellia X. Rosso starts rapidly tapping the side of her head
[18:04] <Vermellia X. Rosso> It's in here... in here!
[18:05] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Something I shouldn't have any reason to know!
[18:05] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte puts her hands on Vermellia's cheeks. "Calm down, Vermellia... everything will be--"
[18:05] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte JUDDERS like an electric shock went through her
[18:06] <The Actuary> ...Paisley?
[18:06] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte 's eyes have gone wide while Vermellia's have gone back to normal
[18:06] * Cloaked/Hooded/Mysterious/Possibly Masked Figure appears in the field
[18:07] * Cloaked/Hooded/Mysterious/Possibly Masked Figure points a floppy sleeve at Paisley
[18:07] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte 's mouth moves of its own accord
[18:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ You... have... forgotten... something.
[18:07] * The Actuary jerks her head around to see the figure but it is already gone.
[18:08] * The Actuary turns to look at Paisley, who is now smokign her pipe, staring into the vapours
[18:08] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is not acting on her own
[18:08] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is clearly possessed
[18:08] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte swings one arm around in a semicircular rc, invoking a large infodail
[18:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^arc, infodial
[18:09] * an image crackles to life on it
[18:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [20:55] <@Yaijinden> He's... he's so small!
[18:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [20:55] <@Yaijinden> He's so small.
[18:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [20:55] <Demetri M.X. Gestee> dammit
[18:12] <The Actuary> ...
[18:12] * The Actuary looks at Demetri M.X. Gestee.
[18:12] *** Demetri M.X. Gestee is a six-month old black haired baby felpurr with whitish bangs and reddish cat ears. He is dressed in a terminally cute folksy vest, hemp pants and white baby booties.
His image Song is: Felpurr. He is Level 1.
[18:13] * The Actuary feels a SHARP pain in her foread
[18:13] * The Actuary staggers
[18:13] <The Actuary> ♦ [20:55] <@Yaijinden> I want to hugs him and squishes him and names him George.
[18:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^
[18:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [20:58] * Demetri M.X. Gestee attempts escape
[18:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [21:01] <@Yaijinden> He's escaping. HE IS ESCAPING.
[18:16] * The Actuary watches this child with a growing headache
[18:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [21:04] <@Shaldra Darkness> So.. uh... someone have an explanation?
[18:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ 21:04] <The Actuary> You've been naughty, Demetri... you should have stayed in your own time zone.
[18:18] * The Actuary shivers, feeling like someone just walked over her grave
[18:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [21:06] <@Yaijinden> So like whenever you're done being momma the rest of us are like can it be exposition tiem nao plees
[18:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [21:06] <The Actuary> What;s to exposit? It's a child.
[18:19] * The Actuary 's eyes go wide, her hearts beating... she knows what will come next... oh gods no....
[18:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [21:06] <The Actuary> My child.
[18:20] * The Actuary drops to her knees
[18:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [21:07] <Lucien the Wanderer> And they want to know the father.
[18:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [21:07] <The Actuary> Hmph. A fairly clever Expellian Felpurr by the name of Gestee.
[18:21] * The Actuary remembers EVERYTHING
[18:21] * The Actuary lets out a howling SCREAM that scares the bunnies, who scatter in all directions as a thunderstorm starts to roll in
[18:21] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Mom....?!
[18:22] * Vermellia X. Rosso looks at the infodial in confusion.
[18:30] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Does this mea.. I...
[18:31] <The Actuary> You had... before... everything was...
[18:31] <The Actuary> before you were ever.... before I met your father...
[18:31] <The Actuary> in another world... another life... another timeline...
[18:31] <The Actuary> that baby....
[18:31] <The Actuary> ..would have been your brother...
[18:32] * The Actuary is forcing herself not to cry
[18:32] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Like Ike...
[18:32] <Vermellia X. Rosso> but Ike was reborn...
[18:32] <The Actuary> Ike was like me...
[18:32] <The Actuary> too strong-willed to merely dissappear when they universe told us we should.
[18:33] <The Actuary> But Demetri was just a baby...
[18:33] * The Actuary 's lips are quivering
[18:33] * The Actuary can't hold in this grief. She remembers the baby, the mess it would make... its unfortunate tendency to say "dammit"...
[18:34] <The Actuary> He....
[18:34] <The Actuary> he would have been taken... along with everything else...
[18:34] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Gramma survived! Yura Survived!
[18:34] <The Actuary> Their status is not fully known... Yura became someone else.
[18:35] <The Actuary> Mother... is in pieces.
[18:35] <Vermellia X. Rosso> But that means there might be a chance!
[18:35] <The Actuary> Vermellia...
[18:36] <The Actuary> They've never mentioned him. I don't think they even remember him--- he might be...
[18:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> - NO. -
[18:36] * The Actuary is stunned by her daugther's vehemence.
[18:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> We've lost enough.
[18:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> We lost Granpa.
[18:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> You lost dad.... we lost dad.
[18:37] <Vermellia X. Rosso> No more.
[18:37] <The Actuary> Vermelli--
[18:37] <Vermellia X. Rosso> - I SAID. NO. -

[18:37] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ^he be
[18:38] <The Actuary> That place is too dangerous--- it is falling apart... it might not even be the--
[18:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> - REJECTED! -
[18:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I REFUSE to have anyone tell me this anymore!
[18:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> "Vermellia you can't do this."
[18:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> "Vermellia you can't do that."
[18:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> We
[18:39] <Vermellia X. Rosso> are the goddamn EPIC HEROES OF LEGEND.
[18:39] <The Actuary> ....
[18:39] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I am going to round up a posse.
[18:39] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I am going into that universe.
[18:39] <Vermellia X. Rosso> And I am going to get my brother that I never knew.
[18:39] <Vermellia X. Rosso> And nothing will stop me.
[18:40] <The Actuary> The timeline---
[18:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> SCREW the timeline.
[18:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> This is blood.
[18:40] <Vermellia X. Rosso> And I've taken enough losses.
[18:41] <The Actuary> I... I forbid it! As hea dof the Celestial Intervention Agency I--
[18:41] <Vermellia X. Rosso> NEWSFLASH. I don't WORK for you.
[18:41] * Vermellia X. Rosso turns to Paise.
[18:41] <Vermellia X. Rosso> you in or you out.
[18:41] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte grins
[18:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Like you have to ask.
[18:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Let's go.
[18:42] <The Actuary> PAISLEY!
[18:42] *** Paisley Pythia Peinforte [paisely_p@firstcircle.karn03-kasterborusrelay.sen] has left #suburbansenshi3 (To The Lobby first)
[18:42] *** Vermellia X. Rosso [vsxr@s-proc11.arkula.fed] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Yeah!)
[18:42] <The Actuary> ...
[18:42] * The Actuary contacts Neminix
[18:47] * @The Intern regretfully reminds Co-Ordinator Actuary of her inactive status and reminds her she is in no position to give orders as that duty was delegated to Dead-Eyes.
[18:47] <The Actuary> ...cheeky girl.
[18:47] <The Actuary> As her superior I hate this...
[18:48] <The Actuary> but as a mother...
[18:48] <The Actuary> I hope they succeed...

[22:53] <Girl> oooooh wait..I live alone
[22:53] * Girl puts her book bag on a small table and heads to the fridge, opening it and pulling out a carton of milk
[22:54] * Girl notices a small dog looking up at her
[22:54] <Girl> ....*smiles*
[22:55] * Girl grabs a bag of dog food and pours it into a bowl..the dog running over and eating it
[22:58] * Girl wanders upstairs

[23:00] * Girl drinks the small milk carton and wipes her mouth

[22:22] <@spiritflame> konbanwa nelius raoul
[22:22] * Xanthh pushes the machine through the portal, and once they arrive on the other side, the machine immediately goes on the move.
[22:22] <Xanthh> !!
[22:22] <Xanthh> It knows where it's at!
[22:23] <Captain Asher> Well look at that.
[22:23] * The Portal is a few feet in the air. Enjoy the crash landing
[22:24] * Captain Asher takes his first step out as though he never realized it... Lands face first.
[22:24] <Captain Asher> OWWWW!
[22:24] <Captain Asher> Damnit!
[22:24] <Captain Asher> Stupid portal!
[22:24] * Captain Asher throws a rock at it.
[22:24] * Nelius Raoul lands easily. "You shouldn't have pissed off the Gatekeeper."
[22:24] * Xanthh lands on his feet. He's not so oblivious.
[22:25] <Captain Asher> How'd I piss her off!?
[22:25] <Nelius Raoul> Your little bit about "basking in your presence", but we can discuss that another time. We have a machine to follow.
[22:26] <Captain Asher> It's not my fault they don't know greatness when they see it.
[22:26] * Captain Asher opens up his top clamps and spews a spout of flame through the portal.
[22:26] <Nelius Raoul> (Or perhaps you have an ego worse than Laharl's.)
[22:27] <Xanthh> Asher!
[22:27] * Xanthh yanks him away.
[22:27] <Nelius Raoul> Cut that out.
[22:28] <Nelius Raoul> Just know something--- if that rock or gout of flame hit someone, you're taking full responsibility for whomever wants to kick your ass.
[22:28] <Xanthh> I'm sorry about him ~__~
[22:28] <Nelius Raoul> We're burning time--- we should catch up to the machine.
[22:28] <Xanthh> Yes, we should.
[22:29] * Xanthh runs up ahead.
[22:29] * Captain Asher also does that.
[22:29] * Nelius Raoul follows Xanthh.
[22:29] * Xanthh , by far, outruns Asher.
[22:30] *** The spherical machine doesn't go too fast, but it has yet to stop.
[22:31] *** the spherical object sure does seem determined not to stir from the direction at which it travels.
[22:31] <Nelius Raoul> (Looking to be straight ahead, moving at a decent clip...)
[22:32] *** And there is no telling how long this journey may take, or if the machine is even going anywhere. The group can only hope at best.
[22:33] <Xanthh> I sure hope this leads somewhere....
[22:33] <Nelius Raoul> So, what's the device supposed to be leading to?
[22:33] <Xanthh> Probably should have thought this through a little better.
[22:33] <Xanthh> I have no idea.
[22:33] <Xanthh> But it's going somewhere, right?
[22:33] <Xanthh> I hope...
[22:35] <Nelius Raoul> Any idea on who or what made this device?
[22:35] *** The journey will actually take days for the spherical object to finally reach its destination. What does the party do about this?
[22:35] <Xanthh> I'm sure it's from one of Ironheim's lost ancestors.
[22:36] <Captain Asher> This is boring.
[22:36] <Nelius Raoul> I see. Still, we should pick up the pace.
[22:37] *** the object would travel through city and forest, thick and thin, and even over bodies of water. Not all who see it react well, but for those who look more desperate, the sight of the machine shines as a beacon of hope for them.
[22:38] <Nelius Raoul> Either of you two able to fly?
[22:38] <Captain Asher> Nope.
[22:39] * Xanthh appears to have his wings severed.
[22:40] *** The sphere's speed does not increase or decrease. It does not care that it is being followed. Flying will not make it go faster.
[22:40] <Nelius Raoul> Aha.
[22:41] *** and eventually, there will be those who seek to destroy the sphere on sight...
[22:42] <Nelius Raoul> Say, did Ironheim's ancestors have any enemies?
[22:43] <Xanthh> Yeah, everyone.
[22:44] <Xanthh> Ever since the invention of the firearm.
[22:44] <Xanthh> Tidespeak was the first to initiate the wave of fear.
[22:44] <Nelius Raoul> .....no surprises here.
[22:44] <Xanthh> The rest of the world followed, and everyone decided it best to esterminate them all because of it.
[22:45] <Nelius Raoul> That'd explain why they'd want exodus.
[22:45] <Nelius Raoul> People innately fear what they lack understanding or control of.
[22:45] <Xanthh> Yeah, I haven't seen any of Ironheim's people besides herself.
[22:46] <Xanthh> Oh no, Locrian knew very well what the firearm did, and how it works soon after it was invented.
[22:46] <Xanthh> She knew what she was doing.
[22:47] <Xanthh> But everyone else, that makes the majority, the common man. Yes, they didn't understand.
[22:47] <Xanthh> They only recieved word how dangerous firearms were.
[22:47] <Nelius Raoul> And rather than seek understanding, they simply rode the fear wave and followed the crowd.
[22:47] <Captain Asher> Yeah! Gun's ain't dangerous at all!
[22:47] * Captain Asher starts spinning all four of his revolvers on his fingers.
[22:48] <Nelius Raoul> If properly handled--- need I remind you of how you shot Jack?
[22:48] <Xanthh> That's exa-BY THE GODS!
[22:48] * Xanthh ducks.
[22:49] * Nelius Raoul drops down as well, looking to see what's coming their way.
[22:49] <Captain Asher> Ohhh, that won't happen again! Second mistakes? PFFT!
[22:50] * Captain Asher accidentally fires off another shot and nearly jumps out of his skin.
[22:50] <Captain Asher> F[BLEEP]KING HELL!
[22:51] <Nelius Raoul> Open mouth, insert foot. Example A for Asher.
[22:51] * Captain Asher drops his guns and looks down where he felt the bullet graze past him.
[22:52] * Captain Asher points at the hole in his pants and pokes his finger through.
[22:52] <Captain Asher> Holy s[BLEEP]t, that was close!
[22:52] <Nelius Raoul> And now you know why most worlds with firearms have safety courses.
[22:53] * Captain Asher stands back up as happy as can be "See? Harmless!"
[22:53] <Xanthh> ¬_¬
[22:54] <Xanthh> I'm actually glad that lich didn't come.
[22:54] <Nelius Raoul> Anyway, can we get moving again? If the Ironheim descendants had enemies, they're likely looking to decimate that sphere.
[22:55] <Xanthh> I wouldn't have taken Asher if I knew he wasn't going to follow.
[22:55] <Captain Asher> Hey!
[22:56] <Xanthh> Yeah... Unfortunately, I have no idea where this thing is going. I'm afraid to tinker with it.
[22:56] * Xanthh follows the sphere again only to realize that there are some rather disgruntled people staring at it.
[22:57] <Nelius Raoul> And speaking of which.....
[22:58] <Xanthh> Yeah.... Great timing.
[22:59] <Captain Asher> That's what happens when you tempt fate!
[22:59] <Captain Asher> Hey, watch this!
[22:59] * Captain Asher picks up his guns and starts shooting them in the air, while advancing toward the people, hoping to scare them off.
[23:01] *** A spell is immediately sent Asher's way from the people. Luckily, it doesn't reduce him to a fine mist. Instead, he's just sent flying back.
[23:02] <Nelius Raoul> ....yep. Saw that one coming.
[23:02] *** instead of fleeing, these people seemed pissed enough to fight.
[23:03] * Nelius Raoul looks to see how armed the people are.
[23:05] *** the people seem to be a group of magic users since they're not very armed. They do have two grunt fighters with them.
[23:08] <Nelius Raoul> Suppose none of you are up to chatting? We do need that sphere intact.
[23:09] * Xanthh suddenly dashes toward them, chanting something, and disappears.
[23:10] <Nelius Raoul> ? (What'd he do?)
[23:10] *** The people were preparing to lash back at Xanthh, but seeing he disappeared, they turned their priorities to the floating sphere.
[23:11] <Nelius Raoul> (Unless Xanthh decided to turn invisible, seems I'll have to dirty my hands again.)
[23:12] * Xanthh moves fast, very fast, shockingly fast. He's not seen, but he gets close to the sphere, and that disappears, too.
[23:12] <Nelius Raoul> (Ah, high-speed to steal the sphere. Well played.)
[23:12] <???> What the bloody!? Dispell it! There! Now!
[23:14] * Nelius Raoul looks to see just where Xanthh is.
[23:15] * Xanthh is invisible
[23:17] *** The opponents do spit out spells where ever they think Xanthh and the machine are at, just trying to find him, while the fighters stand prepared to defoend.
[23:18] <Nelius Raoul> (....this is somewhere between hilarious and painful to watch.)
[23:20] <Nelius Raoul> (Do they not even know how to sense out other presences?)
[23:20] * Xanthh 's spell is dismissed, and is seen with the sphere in his hands. He's gritting his teeth in pain as he's being electricuted, but he's taking it far away from the wizards, entirely trying to avoid the fight.
[23:22] <Nelius Raoul> (Guess it's my turn, then.)
[23:23] * Xanthh is leaving to avoid conflict.
[23:23] * Captain Asher gets up.
[23:23] <Captain Asher> (( Sorry, man Dx I'm in all the rooms. So busy Dx ))
[23:23] <Nelius Raoul> C'mon--- we need to follow Xanthh. He has the sphere.
[23:24] <Nelius Raoul> (( It happens. ))
[23:25] * Nelius Raoul motions for Asher to follow as he heads after Xanthh. If need be, he will fire back at the group to cover their escape.
[23:26] *** The group, unfortunately, are not so willing to let them escape. One of them shouts "Come back here right now! That's ours!" And starts hurling spells at them.
[23:28] <Nelius Raoul> .......and the die is cast.
[23:28] * Nelius Raoul turns to the group, and hurls a Ki-blast right at their feet, intending to blind them!
[23:32] *** The group counters by casting for a stone wall to appear and shield them.
[23:32] * Nelius Raoul smiles, and makes the ki-blast curve up and over the wall, to drop down on top of them.
[23:34] *** panic is heard, and most of them teleport out of the way. Obviously, the fighters get hit. They scream. One of them shouts "A psionic!"
[23:36] *** one of them casts a spell on Nelius. The spell works on weak willed individuals. If the spell succeeds, the description of it will continue.
[23:37] * Nelius Raoul looks to whomever tried casting the spell, and GLARES with incredible intensity, easily resisting the spell.
[23:39] * Nelius Raoul tries reversing the spell onto the caster--- he is aware that different worlds may have different rules on how magic works.
[23:40] *** , yeah, that's not possible.
[23:41] <Nelius Raoul> (( So the reversal didn't work. ))
[23:44] *** Nope.
[23:45] *** the casters learn from this and instead caste purely defensive and offensive spells.
[23:45] *** one casts a string of lightning, the other casts a fierbal, as the third castes spells to protect the three.
[23:47] * Nelius Raoul disappears from sight for a brief moment, moving at incredible speeds. He then reappears behind the mages.
[23:48] <Nelius Raoul> Yo what's up~
[23:48] *** A sudden invisible force would push their enemy away from them.
[23:49] * Nelius Raoul is pushed back.
[23:50] <Nelius Raoul> I wonder how much in magical reserves you three have left.
[23:54] <Nelius Raoul> Now then, if you gentlemen would be so kind as to actually answer--- what's with all the hate against Ironheim?
[23:54] * Captain Asher just points his guns at the wizards and starts shooting at them
[23:54] <Captain Asher> D:<
[23:54] *** The spellcasters teleport out of Asher's firing range.
[23:55] <Nelius Raoul> .....so much for the diplomacy route.
[23:57] <Nelius Raoul> (Guess if they try again, we'll have to bust out the anti-magic.)
[23:57] * Nelius Raoul turns to the direction that Xanthh had run off towards and heads that way, keeping his senses on alert if the mages decide to attack again.
[00:00] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Asher, you best keep up.
[00:05] <Captain Asher> Ohh, they'll be back.
[00:05] *** Xanthh seems to have booked it.
[00:07] *** Suddenly, that a stone wall would appear infront of Asher and Nelius, and curve around them to make a cage.
[00:07] <Nelius Raoul> They didn't take long--- too bad for them, though.
[00:09] * Nelius Raoul traces something in the air, activating an anti-magic force.
[00:14] *** doesn't work so easily that way.
[00:14] *** roll a d20 for it.
[00:15] <spiritflame> Nelius Raoul rolls 1d20 [ 18 ]
[00:18] *** The antimagic field succeeds, however the stone stays in place. It can not be magically moved, and spells or special powers cannot be activated within the field.
[00:19] * Nelius Raoul just goes to punch through the stone instead.
[00:27] *** Can Nelius do that without the aid of any special power without shattering his fist into tiny little pieces?
[00:27] * Nelius Raoul is more than capable of it.
[00:29] <Nelius Raoul> (( Remember what X said before--- most everyone in SubSen has DBZ-esque strength. Anyway, I'mma need to be headed to bed here soon. ))
[00:30] <Nelius Raoul> (( Gotta be up by 9AM to catch an early bus to class. ))
[00:33] <Nelius Raoul> (( So how shall we wrap this up? ))
[00:38] <Captain Asher> (( I'll just continue tomorrow if you want. And remember, you put up an antimagic field. That effects you, too. ))
[00:38] <Captain Asher> (( and if you don't use magic, I won't allow you to put up an antimagic field. ))
[00:39] <Captain Asher> (( because that is magic. ))
[00:39] <Nelius Raoul> (( I'm aware. ))
[00:39] <Nelius Raoul> (( But OK, this is on pause until we get back from our respective classes--- sound good? ))
[00:41] <Captain Asher> (( All good :o ))
[00:41] <Nelius Raoul> (( Very well. Until next time. ))
[16:14] *** Previously, on Xanthh's Realm™...
[16:18] *** Nice trademark.
[16:18] <Nelius Raoul> (( It's a talent. ))
[16:19] *** anyway, lemme read up. Oh yes. Encased in a stone room and magic is disabled.
[16:19] *** Xanthh is gone.
[16:19] *** somewhere on his nameless realm.
[16:20] *** are you still punching rocks?
[16:20] * Nelius Raoul reared his fist back, and threw a punch with the raw power to turn mountains to dust.
[16:20] *** If so, roll a d20
[16:20] <spiritflame> Nelius Raoul rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[16:20] *** Ehhhh, good enough.
[16:21] *** A hole big enough to climb through appears in the stone, and immediatley after, and arrow flies through it.
[16:21] *** Hole appears from the punch.
[16:22] * Nelius Raoul dodges to the side to avoid the arrow.
[16:22] <Captain Asher> Who knew punching stone was such a great idea! I'll have to remember this!
[16:22] * Captain Asher watches as the arrow hits the other side of the room.
[16:23] * Captain Asher crawls up to the hole so they won't see him coming.
[16:24] * Captain Asher takes out a small mirror welded to a rod and puts it up so he can see past the hole in attempt to find the archers.
[16:24] <Captain Asher> Well that's wonderful.
[16:24] <Nelius Raoul> How many?
[16:25] *** An arrow is shot to attempt shattering the mirror.
[16:25] <Captain Asher> Just those three spell spitting blokes from before.
[16:25] * Captain Asher takes his mirror away.
[16:25] <Captain Asher> Wizards usually have pretty good aim.
[16:26] <Nelius Raoul> Makes sense--- run out of spells, have a backup ready.
[16:26] * Captain Asher aims one of his mech arms out of the hole.
[16:27] <Captain Asher> Well, you have to aim at who you're incinerating, too!
[16:27] * Captain Asher releases a spout of flame.
[16:27] * Nelius Raoul reaches into his pocket and extracts Croixshot, his gun. "Fair enough."
[16:28] * Captain Asher doesn't poke his head out, he's aiming blindly.
[16:28] *** An arrow glints off the shell of Asher's mech arm.
[16:28] <Captain Asher> Oh nooooooo, I've been shot! Whateverrr shaaall I dooooooo?
[16:29] * Nelius Raoul does a quick check over his gun--- ammo-type loaded, safety disengaged, rapid-fire ready.
[16:29] *** The wizards are standing out of the range of the antimagic field incase they need to make a quick escape.
[16:30] *** There's a sudden sound of screaming outside.
[16:30] <Nelius Raoul> ?
[16:31] * Nelius Raoul jumps up to the hole, to see what the screaming is about.
[16:31] <Captain Asher> ??
[16:31] * Captain Asher does the same.
[16:32] *** It appears that Xanthh has came back and successfully snuck up on them and is currently incapacitating them.
[16:32] <Nelius Raoul> Nice.
[16:33] <Captain Asher> He's good at that...
[16:33] <Captain Asher> Scared the hell outta me a few times.
[16:33] <Nelius Raoul> I imagine he'd get along with Shizuka.
[16:34] <Captain Asher> You'd never think such a big guy would be so hard to detect.
[16:34] * Nelius Raoul aims Croixshot at one of the mages, and fires.
[16:34] <Captain Asher> If that Shizuka person is a big sissy, sure.
[16:34] *** roll for it. You are shooting into combat that Xanthh is in.
[16:35] <spiritflame> Nelius Raoul rolls 1d20 [ 12 ]
[16:36] <Nelius Raoul> She's a Kunoichi--- a female ninja. She specializes in doing assassinations, which usually require stealth.
[16:36] * Xanthh whirls around to see where that shot was taken when he sees the spellcaster collapse onto the ground from it.
[16:36] <Captain Asher> Well, let's get outta here.
[16:37] * Captain Asher dives through the hole in the wall.
[16:38] * Nelius Raoul jumps through the hole as well.
[16:39] *** Needless to say, these blokes aren't winning the fight. But they're just your typical bloke. Pretty much the equivalent to college kids, only it's magic college for magic kids. Ignore that last part.
[16:39] *** Did Nelius make a kill shot?
[16:41] * Nelius Raoul had aimed for below center-mass---- basically for the stomach or lower back. They'd live, but they're gonna be hurting for a long while.
[16:43] *** the group of three decide that this fight is no longer worth fighting after taking a good look at their rivals and what they've done so fare. A dragon guy, some type of scrawny construct with guns, and a real big guy with creepy eyes and even bigger guns. No thankyou. They start to retreat, and by retreat, teleport. One of them grabs the fallen wizardress and teleports away.
[16:44] * Xanthh seems satisfied with the outcome and turns around. "Hey, I'm sorry about leaving. I had to make sure the little creation was out of harm's way."
[16:45] <Nelius Raoul> It's cool.
[16:45] <Captain Asher> Well where is it?
[16:46] <Xanthh> I put it between some stones so it wouldn't be able to take off...
[16:46] * Xanthh moves toward them, rubbing at his wrists and hands as though they were in pain.
[16:47] <Nelius Raoul> Lead the way. If you need healed, I can handle that.
[16:50] <Xanthh> No, I'm fine. I suggest not touching that thing, though. I don't know if it's supposed to shock you, but it does.
[16:50] * Xanthh starts heading toward where he hid the sphere.
[16:51] <Nelius Raoul> Hm... you said it was made by Ironheim's ancestors..... could one of Ironheim's line touch it without getting zapped?
[16:52] *** Once the group nears where the device was hidden, the sounds of it can be heard long before the sights, and the surface of the lake it was hidden next to is moving in odd ways and acting as though it were having a reaction to something.
[16:52] <Nelius Raoul> Well, that's something....
[16:52] <Xanthh> I don't see why it wouldn't. I mean. I've seen miss Ironheim get shocked a few times.
[16:53] * Xanthh looks.
[16:53] <Xanthh> ...I didn't notice that before.
[16:54] <Nelius Raoul> Think there's something in the lake depths?
[16:57] <Xanthh> I guess there has to be...
[16:57] <Captain Asher> So who wants to check it out?
[16:58] <Nelius Raoul> Important question is who can swim.
[16:59] <Captain Asher> I can.
[16:59] <Xanthh> I can breath in water...
[16:59] <Captain Asher> I can't D:
[17:00] * Xanthh looks to where he hid the machine. Between some rocks in a manner that won't crush the mechanism, he pries them appart so it can be free once more.
[17:01] *** The mechanism flies up into the air, stops, then turns toward the lake.
[17:01] *** The surface of the lake is reacting more violently now.
[17:02] <Nelius Raoul> Definitely something down there.... question is what it is.
[17:06] * Nelius Raoul takes a look around, to see if there's anything else of note.
[17:08] *** The lake seems to be reacting in conjunction with the spherical mechanism. At it closes in, the light it produces seems to expand and somethine emerges from the lake, something huge.
[17:10] *** Water gushes to one side or another as copper walls emerge. Copper walls with the signs of that green corrosion from time, and inscribed with ruins.
[17:10] <Nelius Raoul> Well Xanthh, I do believe your hunch was right on the money.
[17:10] *** These copper walls create a part in the lake which very nearly divides it in half.
[17:12] <Xanthh> This... Is... AWESOME!
[17:12] * Xanthh goes up to the lake surface.
[17:12] <Xanthh> What if there are people still living down there?
[17:12] <Captain Asher> What if they've turned into something like the droooow?
[17:13] <Captain Asher> I can just see the traps from here.
[17:15] <Nelius Raoul> Then we'll have to be prepared for anything to happen.
[17:18] *** the floor of the lake between these copper walls are made of carved stone covered in layers of silt, sand, algae, and other aquatic habitat.
[17:19] <Nelius Raoul> Seems Ironheim's predecessors were planning ahead.
[17:22] * Nelius Raoul holsters Croixshot, and brings his left hand up, rotating the eye on its back with his right hand.
[17:24] <Captain Asher> Well... How should we check for traps?
[17:24] <Xanthh> And not damage anything in the progress...
[17:25] *** The mechanism starts moving forward, between the slabs of copper which divides the lake.
[17:26] * Xanthh decides to follow. He's probably the best one to take any hits should something terrible happen.
[17:29] * Nelius Raoul summons out Maximov, holstering it to his back via a wing. He follows as well, keeping his eyes open.
[17:33] *** As the group descends, they come to a gate. Huge doors barring the path of those who stand before it, but fortunately for them, this won't pose a problem. The spherical mechanism flies into a specific part of the door, engraving itself into its concave sigil.
[17:33] <Nelius Raoul> It was a key.
[17:34] <Nelius Raoul> Though, as to what it was locking away.....
[17:34] *** Deep earthly pistons and slabs of metal, though unseen it heard, erily echoing through hollow space, giving the notion a heavy amount of machinery is unlocking the gate.
[17:35] * Nelius Raoul keeps himself on alert. While AJ and Asher did mention the current Ironheim was a rather peaceful kinda person, who's to say the predecessors were the same?
[17:38] *** That is very true. After all, Miss Ironheim is the only one alive and known today. Regardless, those two huge, heavy doors screetch and scratch across the stone floor, pushing away sand and silt to reveal the pitch-black insides.
[17:40] * Nelius Raoul is capable of seeing in pitch-black conditions, but if Xanthh and Asher need a light, he'll provide one.
[17:42] *** Some sort of light is required to see, no matter how little or faint unless said person has echo-location.
[17:42] *** But then that's not really "seeing" now is it?
[17:42] * Xanthh takes the first step in.
[17:42] <Xanthh> (This place seems so empty...)
[17:43] <Nelius Raoul> Hold a moment, I'll light things up.
[17:44] * Nelius Raoul holds his right hand out, and forms a ball of light.
[17:45] *** For some odd reason, your character may experience great difficulty in creating that sphere of light at the entrence of these ruins.
[17:46] <Nelius Raoul> Hm, magical interference?
[17:49] * Nelius Raoul decides to go the technological route, and cancels the light ball. He draws Croixshot and taps the side, activating a light.
[17:52] *** The light from technology has no issues at all.
[17:52] * Xanthh looks at him.
[17:53] <Nelius Raoul> Something on your mind?
[17:53] <Xanthh> That's strange.
[17:53] * Nelius Raoul slowly sweeps the light around the room, to take in the details.
[17:53] * Xanthh steps in and starts casting a spell.
[17:55] *** Xanthh's spell automatically fails, but to be fair, he's not exactly a powerful spellcaster to begin with.
[17:56] *** There's a thick smell of iron, rust, oil, grease, and many other things associated with machinery.
[17:56] <Nelius Raoul> Yep--- there's anti-magic in play here. Probably all the iron in here--- it's had properties known to disrupt most magic.
[17:56] *** It's like walking into a repair shop, only with the scent of corrosion and age.
[17:57] <Xanthh> Well, the Iron city was built on land not fertile to magic... Maybe her ancestors have taken similiar ideas.
[17:59] <Nelius Raoul> It's possible.
[18:00] *** There's the sudden scent of a fuel source and the feeling of heat before something ignites. The light of fire is seen embedded into the walls of iron.
[18:01] <Xanthh> (( More apologies for slowness ewe ))
[18:01] <Nelius Raoul> Wonder how long this place was active.
[18:01] <Nelius Raoul> (( It happens. ))
[18:02] *** The newly found light illuminates the structure with a dim, warm light.
[18:03] *** There's stuff on the ground and age is clearly seen in the cleanliness of the place. It would almost look as if it were a part of a post-apocalyptic world.
[18:03] * Nelius Raoul takes this opportunity to look around and take in the surroundings.
[18:03] <Nelius Raoul> Can't help but wonder if this place was abandoned--- that's quite a lot of dust built up.
[18:04] *** Now that everyone is in the foundation, those two huge doors begin to close, and after that, the sound of water gushing back in.
[18:04] <Xanthh> !!
[18:05] * Captain Asher turns to run back out, but stops when he realizes the path outside has become too narrow for him to squeeze past.
[18:06] *** With the closing of doors and the untouched ruin's new guests, the place... Almost seems to spring back to life.
[18:07] <Nelius Raoul> ...seems we'll need another way out once we're finished here.
[18:07] *** The deep pounding sounds of heavy pistons bringing power into the untouched ruins can be heard all through out the structure, and felt in the explorer's bones.
[18:08] *** The hum of machinery working in the background is a constant and it appears the explorers are in a very expansive realm.
[18:08] *** Quite possibly the size of a whole city, all under one lake.
[18:10] *** Unfortunately, there are no maps seen right now. The room they're in right now, though old is designed in that same steam-eira, copper war type theme. Elegant scupltures of brass adorn the uninhabited areas, leaving much, much more to be seen.
[18:11] <Captain Asher> I hope we won't have to resort to canibalism.
[18:11] * Xanthh just looks at Asher. "....."
[18:11] * Nelius Raoul rests a hand on Maximov's haft. "Might as well see what else is down here."
[18:12] <Xanthh> Yeah.
[18:12] <Xanthh> I think it would be wise to stay together, too.
[18:13] <Captain Asher> Nah, haven't you seen in the horror movies? Where...
[18:13] <Captain Asher> We have to split up!
[18:13] <Captain Asher> Because that's how the universe works.
[18:14] <Xanthh> ¬_¬
[18:14] <Captain Asher> What? You don't want to break the universal law of horror stories, do you?
[18:14] <Captain Asher> I don't.
[18:15] <Captain Asher> Whoever stands last gets to claim this death trap!
[18:16] <Nelius Raoul> Focus, Asher. We first need to find out where "here" is. I'm willing to bet that when we stepped through those doors, we got transported to a whole other plane.
[18:19] <Captain Asher> That. would be sooooo awesome.
[18:19] <Captain Asher> Another place for my kind to expand!
[18:19] <Captain Asher> Sweeeeet!
[18:20] <Captain Asher> Just imagine a bunch of little me's running around here one day.
[18:20] <Captain Asher> And the lucky lady to live next to me.
[18:21] <Xanthh> Gods, let's go!
[18:21] * Xanthh grabs Asher and drags him behind as he chooses a direction to start off in.
[18:22] * Nelius Raoul follows behind them, keeping one hand on Maximov's haft.
[18:27] *** As various rooms are explored, different themes occur. One is of the many holders of machinery which keeps this place still alive. Tampering with those will surely lead to undesired consquences. Other rooms have pyrex domes wich show's the view of the outside world this place is build within.
[18:28] *** An endless cloud of blue is seen with algae and similar underwater plants can be seen all around.
[18:29] *** Fish and the rest of the underwater ecosystem serves as a connection to nature in such a very man-made world.
[18:29] * Nelius Raoul gives a whistle of appreciation as he takes in the view.
[18:30] *** And all throughout the halls and rooms are plaques and entire walls devoted to art and ruins, some of which may even tell a story of the past.
[18:31] <Xanthh> This is amazing...
[18:32] *** Unfortunately, all rooms end in one central location. A round door made of the many metals observed within the structure, and if knocked upon, there would not be an echo, signifying how this this door was.
[18:34] * Nelius Raoul observes the door. Any locking mechanisms, or way to open this door?
[18:34] *** What's behind the door is not known, but to the walls surround the door are a complex series of levers, buttons, and shafts. Above all, near eye-level is what appears to be the face of an ancient machine, perhaps even one of the very first intelligent machines of this planet's time.
[18:34] *** the door seems to be barred from the other side. No clear way to pick the several ton locks that are a part of this door.
[18:37] * Nelius Raoul takes a look at the face. "Check this out."
[18:38] *** Suddenly, the 'eyes' of this mechanoid face flicker to life.
[18:39] * Nelius Raoul takes a step back. "Hello?"
[18:42] * Xanthh hesitantly approaches.
[18:43] *** The 'machine' simply says, in an aged, static-filled voice "Input Key-code."
[18:47] * Nelius Raoul looks from Xanthh, to Asher, though his gut feeling tells him that they're as much in the dark on this as he is.
[18:49] * Xanthh has that look of speechlessness
[18:50] <Captain Asher> Oh, hold on! I got this!
[18:50] * Captain Asher shuffles around his clothes for something, then pulls out a cord.
[18:50] <Captain Asher> Ah-haaa!
[18:51] * Nelius Raoul steps back, to allow Asher some room.
[18:51] * Captain Asher takes one end of this cord and holds it up to the wall of complex machinery.
[18:51] <Captain Asher> ...
[18:51] <Captain Asher> ....................
[18:51] <Captain Asher> Where do I put this?
[18:52] *** The wall does not have any USB ports, or really anything any typical computer connection may be placed.
[18:53] *** There is, however, an odd-shaped hole below what appears to be a keypad under the mechanoid's face.
[18:53] <Xanthh> Is there... Another part to this?
[18:53] <Nelius Raoul> A keypad...
[18:54] <Nelius Raoul> Now comes the question of what the key-code is supposed to be.
[18:55] * Xanthh points to the hole.
[18:55] <Xanthh> Maybe it's a key.... With a code.
[18:56] <Xanthh> Or a key AAAAND a code?
[18:56] <Captain Asher> Or a code in a key?
[18:57] <Captain Asher> Maybe that's where we seduce it?
[18:57] <Xanthh> ...
[18:57] * Xanthh facepalms.
[18:58] <Nelius Raoul> (Should've stayed at the Hotel.)
[19:00] <Xanthh> (( Hey, do you mind if I break this up into 2 parts? Like this part was the discovery, and then the 2nd part will be unlocked when people figure out how to open the door, and then I'll make an event out of it. Would you be interested? ))
[19:00] <Nelius Raoul> Asher, below the keypad--- there's a small hole there.
[19:00] <Nelius Raoul> (( Sounds good. ))
[19:01] <Captain Asher> Doesn't look to small to me. Really weird shaped, though.
[19:01] <Captain Asher> And that's what I was talking about!
[19:01] <Captain Asher> The seducing and all.
[19:02] <Nelius Raoul> .......fire away, Captain Hormone.
[19:03] <Captain Asher> What's that supposed to mean!?
[19:03] <Nelius Raoul> Take a wild guess.
[19:03] <Captain Asher> D:
[19:03] <Captain Asher> D:<
[19:04] * Captain Asher kneels and tries to look through it first.
[19:05] * Captain Asher doesn't want to be cut...
[19:05] <Captain Asher> Huh...
[19:05] <Captain Asher> Looks like there's a lot of little.... Little... What are those?
[19:05] * Captain Asher pokes his figure through the hole.
[19:06] *** A STRONG shock would electricute Asher.
[19:06] * Captain Asher gets shocked, screams, and flies back.
[19:07] <Captain Asher> DON'T PUT ANY PART OF YOUR BODY THAT YOU VALUE IN THERE!
[19:07] * Nelius Raoul draws Croixshot and clicks the light on, making certain to click the safety on as well. He angles himself to look through the hole, shining Croixshot's light through.
[19:09] *** Inside the hole are a lot of gears, switches, pits & lands, sprockets, and even more complex, alien-like technology.
[19:10] <Nelius Raoul> Hm... that tech looks rather out-of-place in comparision to everything else. Wonder if Ironheim's ancestors got visitors from beyond.
[19:12] <Captain Asher> Perposterous! We are all geniuses of our own! We don't need no intelligence from no stinkin' outsiders!
[19:13] <Nelius Raoul> Considering your people took up Solarchos' offer to find a new world, that's some hypocracy right there, Asher.
[19:13] <Captain Asher> That's a wooooorld. Not technology.
[19:13] <Captain Asher> Duh!
[19:14] <Captain Asher> It's like giving people candy.
[19:14] <Captain Asher> Planet-sized candy.
[19:14] <Nelius Raoul> But do any of your people have space-faring tech yet?
[19:14] <Captain Asher> That you can live in.
[19:14] <Captain Asher> Yeah!
[19:14] <Captain Asher> It's pretty new.
[19:15] <Captain Asher> But we sure do!
[19:15] <Captain Asher> Looks really... evil.
[19:15] <Captain Asher> But still!
[19:15] <Nelius Raoul> Anyway, see if you can figure out what sort of tech this is in here.
[19:15] * Nelius Raoul moves aside, but keeps Croixshot shining on the hole.
[19:16] <Captain Asher> I don't knooooooow. I can't plug into it! Plig in as in the nonsexual kind!
[19:16] * Captain Asher holds up a cord. "As in this kind."
[19:16] <Nelius Raoul> I meant take a look.
[19:16] <Captain Asher> Gaaaah!
[19:17] <Captain Asher> Looking is for losers!
[19:17] * Captain Asher kneels and looks again.
[19:17] <Nelius Raoul> (So Seraph-damn tempted to hit him right now.....)
[19:18] <Captain Asher> Looks like something I don't want to 'connect' to.
[19:18] <Captain Asher> So SHOCKING! Huh?
[19:21] <Nelius Raoul> ...anyway, if we don't know the passcode, then there's not much reason to stick around.
[19:21] <Xanthh> I just can't think... Where I might find it!
[19:22] <Xanthh> I fear we may have to go around every town around in search of it or any clues.
[19:23] <Xanthh> Maybe it was on the sphere somehow?
[19:24] <Xanthh> (( Hey, I gotta go. I'll be back though. If you just want to end it here, do whatever you want that just ins't completely insane or anything. ))
[19:25] <Nelius Raoul> (( I was gonna have Nelius return home via Dimension Gate--- he did hear the details from the Gatekeeper on how to get here. Besides, if we're gonna be bringing others into this, someone has to spread the word around. ))
[19:26] <Xanthh> (( Okay. Be sure to bring Xanthh AND Asher. Even if you want to hit him xD ))
[19:27] <Xanthh> (( Oh s[BLEEP]t... ))
[19:27] <Xanthh> (( Antimagic, lol. ))
[19:28] <Nelius Raoul> (( Dimension Gates run on opening and closing holes in reality--- way different than magic. ))
[19:28] <Xanthh> (( Usiiiiiiiing? Ding! Magic. ))
[19:29] <Xanthh> (( But I'll just say you guys find a way out. ))
[19:29] <Xanthh> (( I'll tell you how later, if you're interested. ))
[19:30] <Nelius Raoul> (( That works. ))
[19:30] <Xanthh> (( See you. ))
[19:30] <Nelius Raoul> (( Oh yeah, next time, we probably should set location. ))
[19:31] <Nelius Raoul> (( Until next time. Right now, Nelius has a sister and daughter to surprise! ))
