welcome to #suburbansenshi2

[21:20] <Celeste> It's amazing
[21:21] <Celeste> Oh I guess there isn't gravity.
[21:21] <Celeste> and yet there is. Huh.
[21:21] <Yaijinden> Grip shoes!
[21:22] <Celeste> That would be helpful
[21:23] <Yaijinden> Delicate spaceborn ballet!
[21:24] <Celeste> It's exciting.
[21:25] <Celeste> Do they all look the same?
[21:25] <Yaijinden> Hee hee.
[21:26] <Yaijinden> Curved everythings!
[21:26] <Yaijinden> And the moon spinning gently in the background.
[21:26] <Celeste> No such thing as a natural straight line.
[21:28] <Celeste> If that was a dollar seventy cents for a video chat across the moon...
[21:31] <Yaijinden> secrets
[21:31] <Celeste> A valued weapon.
[21:32] <Yaijinden> pchooooo
[21:33] <Celeste> That looks nutritious.
[21:33] <Yaijinden> Space travel that has room for thirty people in a chamber and flights go on when there are only two people in them~
[21:34] <Celeste> But then why~?
[21:34] <Yaijinden> Also the nerdiest of space shower caps.
[21:38] * Howling gets closer to the hotel
[21:38] <Yaijinden> With all the preparations that went into the Curiosity rover fresh in mind, I remember just how Actually Perilous this is.
[21:39] <Celeste> Mmm?
[21:39] * Howling seems to be right outside!
[21:39] <Yaijinden> It wouldn't take much of a screwup to imperil the lives of every single person on that ship.
[21:39] *** Vandal[were] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[21:39] <@spiritflame> konbanwa vandal[were]
[21:40] <Celeste> This is true.
[21:40] <Celeste> Every t dotted every i crossed~
[21:41] <Yaijinden> revelationssss
[21:41] * Vandal[were] pads his way inside, walking on all fours.
[21:42] <Vandal[were]> Sup pups
[21:42] <Yaijinden> Movie!
[21:42] <Celeste> Movie~
[21:43] <Vandal[were]> You're missing a lovely night you know
[21:43] <Celeste> Yes but what is it covering up?
[21:43] <Vandal[were]> Huh?
[21:44] * Vandal[were] tilts his head
[21:44] * Celeste gestures to movie.
[21:44] * Yaijinden and Celeste have 2001: A Space Odyssey on
[21:44] * Vandal[were] snorts and goes back outside
[21:46] <Celeste> The giant slab...?
[21:47] <Yaijinden> :o
[21:47] <Celeste> What is this I am kind of lost
[21:48] <Yaijinden> I believe they are landing in the crater site mentioned earlier.
[21:48] <Celeste> Oh right.
[21:48] <Celeste> No I meant strange magnetic field that was buried
[21:48] * Vandal[were] rsu
[21:48] <Yaijinden> That crater site.
[21:49] * Vandal[were] resumes howling at the moon
[21:49] <Celeste> This music is creeping me out.
[21:50] <Celeste> Oh mu
[21:51] * Vandal[were] intenonally howls in a way to make it more creepy :P
[21:51] <Celeste> My
[21:51] <Celeste> D:
[21:51] <Celeste> It is te same
[21:52] <Celeste> And yet something happened and hey Jupiter.
[21:52] <Yaijinden> eeeeee hee hee
[21:54] <Celeste> Different gentleman?
[21:54] <Yaijinden> Believe so.
[21:55] <Celeste> And that camera.
[21:55] <Yaijinden> :3 :3
[21:56] <Celeste> Meanwhile, the BBC
[21:59] *** Idendon has joined #suburbansenshi2
[21:59] <@spiritflame> konbanwa idendon
[21:59] <Celeste> Heeeeee
[21:59] * Idendon enters with a yawn, waves hello to everyone, and proceeds to begin looking for Van. :3
[22:00] <Yaijinden> He's outside.
[22:00] <Yaijinden> Listen for the howls~
[22:01] <Celeste> That is a huge ship for five human beings and an AI.
[22:01] <Celeste> Except it is going to Jupiter.
[22:01] <Yaijinden> It's got to contain food, water, and air purification for all of them.
[22:02] <Celeste> A trip like this
[22:02] <Yaijinden> Two or three at a time, for an indefinite period of months at the very least. ♫
[22:02] <Celeste> I wonder how long it takes.
[22:03] <Idendon> Thank you :3
[22:03] * Idendon goes outside
[22:03] <Celeste> I wonder how long ago transmissions like that were sent and how long it was until they were received.
[22:04] <Yaijinden> Seven minutes lightspeed in either direction was the time the interview said it took.
[22:04] <Celeste> They mentioned seven minutes earlier, yes?
[22:05] <Celeste> Technology.
[22:05] * Vandal[were] sits on the beach.
[22:06] <Celeste> And we're back to the moon. I was wondering about that.
[22:07] * Idendon smiles as he sees Van :D
[22:07] <Yaijinden> punchcaaaaard
[22:07] <Celeste> Everything starts to come together.
[22:10] * Vandal[were] wags his tail happoily
[22:11] * Vandal[were] stand up, and bounds over to Bran aiming to knock him over and pin him down :3
[22:11] <Celeste> Just as the score adds to the eerie, the lack of score is worse.
[22:11] <Celeste> Nothing but the sound of his own breathing. Just like space.
[22:11] <Yaijinden> hisssssssssssssss
[22:12] <Celeste> I can't help but sit on the edge of my seat.
[22:14] * Idendon is knocked over and pinned!
[22:14] * Vandal[were] licks Bran. "Come to enjoy the full moon with me?
[22:14] * Idendon nods! "I sure did!"
[22:16] * Vandal[were] moves to hug Bran isntead of pin him down, and does his best to kiss him on the cheek, despite the wolf head. "Good. I was afraid I was going to have to enjoy it alone
[22:16] <Celeste> So much silence.
[22:18] <Idendon> I didn't intend to stay gone long.
[22:18] <Celeste> Or he's lying.
[22:19] <Yaijinden> what is in that mind ♫
[22:21] <Celeste> Or he's ignoring you~
[22:21] <Vandal[were]> I know. I just bored easy
[22:21] <Vandal[were]> Also I was antsy today waiting for the sun to set
[22:22] * Idendon smiles and kisses his muzzle, "I'm here now."
[22:22] * Celeste nudges Yai
[22:22] <Celeste> I need to use the little lass's room.
[22:23] * Yaijinden hits Pause
[22:23] * Celeste gets up and will be right back
[22:25] * Celeste returns
[22:25] * Celeste snuggles back in
[22:26] <Celeste> Whenever you're ready
[22:28] * Vandal[were] grins, which is kinda unseettleing due to the row of sharp wolf teeth
[22:28] <Yaijinden> Flitted briefly away myself.
[22:28] <Yaijinden> And three...
[22:28] <Yaijinden> Two...
[22:28] <Yaijinden> One..
[22:28] * Yaijinden hits Play
[22:28] <Celeste> Lip reading
[22:28] * Yaijinden makes himself comfy
[22:28] * Idendon grins back
[22:28] <Yaijinden> yesss
[22:29] <Celeste> And oh look intermission
[22:29] <Yaijinden> And then to remind us that we're in a Kubrik film, music!
[22:29] <Celeste> Yes~
[22:29] <Yaijinden> ...or sustained, slightly atonal chords.
[22:30] <Celeste> I maintain my stance before that this movie would be amazing to see in a theater
[22:30] <Celeste> or maybe even set up for a viewing in a large field.
[22:31] * Idendon wiggles out from under Van and climbs on top of him
[22:32] * Vandal[were] is climbed on!
[22:33] <Celeste> Something isn't right~
[22:33] <Celeste> This didn't happen the first time
[22:34] <Yaijinden> :o
[22:34] <Vandal[were]> What are you doing?
[22:34] * Idendon smiles and snuggles firmly
[22:34] <Idendon> Getting comfortable
[22:34] <Celeste> No don't get in it no stop
[22:35] <Yaijinden> spiiiiraling awaaay
[22:35] <Celeste> His oxygen was cut and he's too far away and aaaaaaaaaah
[22:37] <Vandal[were]> I'm temped to stand up and run around on all fours. See how long till you fall off.
[22:38] <Idendon> You don't want me up here?
[22:38] <Idendon> I can get down.
[22:38] <Vandal[were]> I don't mind
[22:38] <Vandal[were]> It just seemed like a fun idea
[22:38] <Idendon> Oh
[22:39] <Celeste> The black screen over the face is helpful
[22:39] <Celeste> If he is what I think he is, I don't want to see what the corpse looks like.
[22:40] * Idendon resumes snuggling
[22:40] <Celeste> Yes that was a terrible idea
[22:40] <Celeste> :|
[22:40] <Yaijinden> innocent computer whistling here
[22:41] <Yaijinden> Silence. Beeping. Beeping.
[22:41] * Vandal[were] is nice and fullfy :3
[22:41] <Yaijinden> Silence.
[22:41] <Celeste> He cannot do that
[22:42] <Celeste> Oh.
[22:42] * Idendon likes the fluffy :3
[22:42] <Celeste> Something just hit me.
[22:43] <Yaijinden> ?
[22:43] <Celeste> Certain comics with certain references.
[22:43] <Celeste> And his name is Dave.
[22:43] <Yaijinden> hee
[22:46] <Celeste> I can only hope for that reference later.
[22:47] * Vandal[were] 's tail wags happily
[22:47] <Idendon> I think I like the doggyness. I don't mind when you have to use it :D
[22:48] <Celeste> And silence.

[22:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> What have we walked into!
[22:50] <Vandal[were]> I don't HAVE to use it
[22:50] <Yaijinden> Dave has a mission.
[22:50] <Vandal[were]> I want to use it. The moon is more fun when I'm like this. I could stay humanish
[22:50] <Idendon> But you CAN
[22:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> A mission?
[22:50] <Celeste> You're not entitled to anything.
[22:51] <Vandal[were]> I can :3
[22:51] <Celeste> Not when you disconnected everyone.
[22:51] <Yaijinden> "I know everything hasn't been quite right with me, but I can assure you now, very confidently, that it's going to be all right again."
[22:51] <Idendon> And I like it
[22:51] * Yaijinden is watching 2001 with Celeste
[22:51] <Hideki Kaze> hm...
[22:51] <Yaijinden> me also indicates the other two wuvvers with a thumb, through the window
[22:52] * Vandal[were] 's ears flick. "Heh. I actully don't care for it much, at least in a fight. Too slow, too bulky"
[22:52] <Celeste> Some very poor decisions indeed
[22:52] <Yaijinden> ohhhh~
[22:52] <Celeste> A monotone AI.

[22:53] <Idendon> I like it. I want to stay right here.
[22:53] <Vandal[were]> So you like me more as a wolf then as a demon
[22:53] <Celeste> This monologue.
[22:53] <Yaijinden> hoooo
[22:54] <Celeste> This monologue.
[22:54] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has joined #suburbansenshi2

[22:55] <Idendon> I have no preference either way.
[22:55] <Celeste> D:
[22:56] <David O`Cain> Well, that was fun, Gemini. Never really knew the whole history and all.
[22:56] <@Texas_Samurai> So, whaddya think, David?
[22:56] <Idendon> Shall we sleep beneath the stars tonight, Van?
[22:57] <Vandal[were]> If you want. You want me to stay like this?
[22:57] <Idendon> Only if you want to.
[22:57] * Hideki Kaze walks over to ratchet..and tries to discuss something with her
[22:57] <Celeste> There's more.
[22:57] <Celeste> This movie is amazing and there's more.
[22:57] * Idendon climbs down and snuggles firmly at his feet
[22:57] <Yaijinden> We aren't done yet. :D
[22:57] <Vandal[were]> I do tonight. Though it's too nice a night to just sleep. Full moons aren't often and I want to make the most of it. :3
[22:58] <Yaijinden> The next question: what did the monolith on the moon aim at?
[22:58] <Idendon> Then by all means, let's do :3
[22:58] <Yaijinden> As a chorus of wailing sorrows assails.
[22:58] * Idendon is away: ♡
[22:59] <Celeste> Curious.
[23:01] <Celeste> Alignment.
[23:01] * Vandal[were] is away: Bow Wow :3
[23:01] <Celeste> Just like when the sun and the moon at the dawn of man?
[23:02] <Aes> 2001?
[23:02] <Celeste> Yes.
[23:02] <David O`Cain> Well, Gemini, to be honest with you, I really had no idea all that went on. I guess the pieces are slowly coming together.
[23:02] <Celeste> Oh Dave. ):
[23:02] <Aes> They treated HAL very badly.
[23:04] * David O`Cain gets himself something to drink at the bar
[23:05] * Matsumi Kaze is back
[23:05] * Matsumi Kaze walks back in, having unbraided her hair and tosses the glasses aside
[23:05] <Matsumi Kaze> ugh
[23:06] <Aes> Of course the problem doesn't get explained in this film.
[23:06] <Celeste> The storm on Jupiter?
[23:06] <Celeste> Or something else?
[23:06] <Aes> No, the problem with HAL.
[23:06] <Yaijinden> Creation, yawning open.
[23:07] <Celeste> And he's still alive.
[23:07] <Yaijinden> Alive. Aware.
[23:08] <Matsumi Kaze> so that was fun, Gemini
[23:08] <@Texas_Samurai> Yup!
[23:08] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah'm glad everythin' turned out okay.
[23:08] <@Texas_Samurai> Shinjiro... really wasn't a bad guy.
[23:09] <David O`Cain> Just misunderstood?
[23:09] <Celeste> Are we making a full circle?
[23:09] <Celeste> Just bringing that circle in wild colors?
[23:09] <@Texas_Samurai> Well he had his faults but...
[23:09] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah he seemed kind of cool
[23:09] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah'd still have 'im at mah back.
[23:09] <Matsumi Kaze> I can see why you liked him
[23:10] <@Texas_Samurai> Yup.
[23:11] * Matsumi Kaze opens a ginger ale, going quiet
[23:12] <Celeste> What the f[BLEEP]k
[23:12] <Celeste> Oh wait that's Dave.
[23:13] <Matsumi Kaze> ......
[23:13] <Matsumi Kaze> ok gems..what the f[BLEEP]k
[23:15] <@Texas_Samurai> Whut

[23:16] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah but you guys are acting like I AM her or something
[23:16] <@Texas_Samurai> It was a shock <_<
[23:16] <Matsumi Kaze> so what???

[23:17] <@Texas_Samurai> ..Nothin'. Fergit about it ^^;
[23:17] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah.....
[23:17] * The Actuary walks by, one arm hanging limply from the side
[23:17] <Aes> Hmm?
[23:17] <@Texas_Samurai> Nori...?
[23:18] <Aes> What is Wrong Mistress Noriko?
[23:18] * Matsumi Kaze drinks
[23:18] * The Actuary doesn't answer
[23:18] <Matsumi Kaze> Noriko?
[23:18] <David O`Cain> What'd you do, Noriko?
[23:18] <The Actuary> Nothing. I was too slow.
[23:18] <The Actuary> That's all.
[23:18] * The Actuary RAMS her arm on the wall and pops her shoulder back in
[23:19] * Aes scans Noriko's arm, before he remembers his manners...
[23:19] <Matsumi Kaze> O_o ouch
[23:19] * The Actuary grits her teeth and flexes her fingers weakly.
[23:19] <Eitak_Razal> There are better ways to fix that you know

[23:19] * The Actuary scans as though she's been badly, badly beaten up.
[23:19] <The Actuary> I'm going to go lay down.
[23:19] <Aes> One of them is on the 12th floor.
[23:19] *** The Actuary [nsx@tokyo.japan.unit.org] has left #suburbansenshi2 (It is within the scope of my estimation.)
[23:20] * @Texas_Samurai looks on worriedly.
[23:20] * Celeste blinks slowly at the television.
[23:20] <Yaijinden> And so. :D
[23:20] <Aes> I hope she's just been training too hard...
[23:20] * @Texas_Samurai is away: going to check
[23:20] <Celeste> That,
[23:20] * @Texas_Samurai gets the door slammed in her face
[23:20] <Celeste> I have so many questions after that.
[23:20] * Matsumi Kaze sighs and drinks her ginger ale
[23:20] * @Texas_Samurai gets locked out
[23:20] <Celeste> And yet words do not come to mind
[23:20] <Yaijinden> That sounds about right.
[23:21] * @Texas_Samurai promptly attempts to slice th' door open with her blade
[23:21] * @Texas_Samurai gets thrown back by a forcefield
[23:21] <Aes>“ I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that?”
[23:21] <@Texas_Samurai> Dang that gal don't wanna talk
[23:21] <Celeste> Thank you for watching this with me.
[23:21] * @Texas_Samurai returns
[23:22] <Matsumi Kaze> geez....
[23:22] * Aes sounds creepily like HAL when he quotes him...
[23:22] <Yaijinden> Happy to have been done so.
[23:23] <Yaijinden> Noun verb tense something.
[23:23] <Celeste> Thus spoke Zarathustra.
[23:23] <Celeste> Where have I heard that before?
[23:24] <Aes> The music, Miss Celeste?
[23:24] <Celeste> The title.
[23:24] <Aes> Nietche?
[23:24] <@Texas_Samurai> Neat-chee.
[23:25] <Celeste> There we go.
[23:25] * Yaijinden nodsnods
[23:25] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah think???
[23:25] <Aes> Unless you are a fan of Zoroastrian philosophy.
[23:25] <@Texas_Samurai> Zorro?
[23:25] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah miss those serials!
[23:25] <Aes> Zoroaster, Miss Gemini.
[23:25] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> No no Gemini
[23:25] <Celeste> Hee, the music at the end.
[23:26] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Rememner those towers of corpses we nearly got killed on that one time?
[23:26] <@Texas_Samurai> Oh yeah
[23:26] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Yeah they were run by Zoroastrains.
[23:26] <@Texas_Samurai> X, Nori looked pretty dang beat up jus' now. An' she NEVER looks beat up like that.
[23:27] <@Texas_Samurai> Can you go check on 'er?
[23:27] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Sure.
[23:27] * @Doctor Xadium is away 
[23:27] <Matsumi Kaze> reminds me of when I was training with Freya
[23:27] <@Texas_Samurai> Yeah but... that look in her eye...
[23:27] <@Texas_Samurai> That weren't right.
[23:28] * @Doctor Xadium gets an earful from the other side of the door
[23:28] * @Doctor Xadium is back
[23:28] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> She doesn't want us "meddling in her affairs."
[23:28] <@Texas_Samurai> :/
[23:29] <@Texas_Samurai> Well at least she sounds all right
[23:30] <Aes> I have never seen Mistress Noriko badly injured, Master Xadium.
[23:30] <Matsumi Kaze> so basically she's being a teenager?
[23:31] <David O`Cain> It's possible, Matsumi.
[23:31] <Yaijinden> I have! :D
[23:31] <Aes> YOu have, Yaijinden?
[23:31] <Yaijinden> She'll tell us when she cares to do so, or when she gets sufficiently brutalized that we can solicit it from her.
[23:32] <Aes> I see.
[23:32] <Aes> I suppose we shall simply have to wait then.
[23:32] <Celeste> Mmmhm
[23:33] <Eitak_Razal> Want me to teleport her out here so you can confront her
[23:33] <Celeste> No that's a bad idea.
[23:33] <Eitak_Razal> that Said if I do that, I'll be in the next room...
[23:33] <Aes> But given her condition, I have to wonder if Spice Cat is around.
[23:33] <@Texas_Samurai> Naw... Ah'll respect her privacy...
[23:33] * spice-cat pokes head out from behind bar
[23:33] <spice-cat> *licks nose
[23:34] <spice-cat> mewr?
[23:34] <Aes> Would you like me to pour you milk, sir cat?
[23:34] <Matsumi Kaze> oh god

[23:35] <Celeste> Part of me thinks she's evil and a hundred percent dangerous, and then another part of me goes "d'aw kitty"
[23:35] * Aes pours a bowl of milk for the Reverend Mother Cat.

[23:36] <David O`Cain> I hope we aren't getting rad poisoning from that kitty.
[23:36] <Yaijinden> Rads, no.
[23:37] <Aes> You are welcome, Reverend Mother.

[23:37] <Celeste> Mmmn,

[23:38] <spice-cat> *cute burp
[23:38] <Aes> I have been feeling that I have been nearing an inflection point myself, Miss Gemini.
[23:38] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah....
[23:38] <spice-cat> Nyaaa~!
[23:38] * spice-cat floats around room happy
[23:39] <Celeste> So before the movie started, it sounded like you had a bit of a quiet day.
[23:39] <Yaijinden> More or less, yes.
[23:39] * Celeste snuggles up to Yai
[23:39] * Yaijinden accomodates, making himself cozy with her
[23:39] <Celeste> Sounds nice.
[23:40] <Celeste> Even with a nap in the middle of the day.
[23:40] <Yaijinden> Late nights, early days, then naps, then works.
[23:40] <Yaijinden> Midday naps, I've found, are a subtle delight.
[23:40] <Celeste> Works, yes.
[23:41] <Celeste> Business, right?
[23:41] <Yaijinden> Less business, more bidness.
[23:41] <Celeste> Bidness?
[23:41] <Yaijinden> Soulwriting.
[23:42] <Celeste> Mmmn
[23:42] <Celeste> Curiouser.
[23:42] * @Texas_Samurai sits near X'n' Ratchet n' pops in th' Cleopatra DVD
[23:42] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Ooh they made the Universal Logo BW for this
[23:42] <Celeste> But maybe not something you want to bear in front of a whole room?
[23:43] <Yaijinden> It's one part self-analysis, one part creating something of the whole.
[23:43] * Sarah Christensson sits not far and watches
[23:43] * Celeste nods
[23:43] <Yaijinden> And every part self-artistry.
[23:43] * Michael Sunnyside III sits near Ratchet and hugs her "I rememebr when Cecil approached me to get the rights"

[23:44] <Celeste> I'm always fond of the thread you spin from that beautiful mind of yours.
[23:45] <Ms. Altair> For all the Tarentinos and Scotts of today, I do miss the DeMilles.
[23:46] <Sarah Christensson> I heard he was quite harsh though
[23:46] <Kujou Subaru> Realizing a genius vision does require harshness.
[23:47] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah don't think that's always so...
[23:47] <Kujou Subaru> You're too lax, Gemini.
[23:48] <Sarah Christensson> subaru is a bit scary
[23:49] * Kujou Subaru looks at Sarah-san with a slight smile
[23:49] * Sarah Christensson turns pale
[23:50] <@Texas_Samurai> Subaru, knock it off XD
[23:50] * Kujou Subaru opens her fan and obscures her face
[23:50] <David O`Cain>“ I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMilles.”
[23:54] * Celeste simply observes the room with laced fingers and leans back.
[23:55] * @Texas_Samurai is watchin' Cleo try t' seduce Caesar
[23:56] <Sarah Christensson> I heard she wasn't all that beautiful...but really smart!
[23:57] <Ms. Altair> Looks that way.
[23:58] * Celeste yawns and nestles in.
[23:59] <Aes> Wealth is a powerful aphrodesiac.
[23:59] * @Doctor Xadium hugs Gems close
[00:00] * @Texas_Samurai snuggles close, but still looks worried some
[00:00] * Hideki Kaze is holding a sleeping Matsumi close
[00:00] <Celeste> Couples. Couples everywhere.
[00:01] <Michael Sunnyside III> It's one of those nights.
[00:01] <Celeste> Not complaining~
[00:01] * Michael Sunnyside III has Ratchet leaning on his shoulder
[00:02] <David O`Cain> Yeah.
[00:02] <Sarah Christensson> wish Carlos was here...
[00:02] <Celeste> Sometimes when you see the world through different eyes things pop out more.
[00:02] <Yaijinden> mmmm
[00:03] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> That's very true.
[00:03] <Celeste> And then instead of having one set of feelings when you see it there's something totally different there.
[00:03] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I like seeing things in a way I never would've expected to.

[00:08] <David O`Cain> Night, Sarah.
[00:09] <Celeste> Slowly the numbers drop.
[00:09] * Celeste holds her hands up in the air and drops a few fingers.
[00:09] <Celeste> One by one
[00:09] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> XD
[00:10] <Yaijinden> Eventually in twos!
[00:10] <Celeste> Yes
[00:10] <Celeste> Or with a few here, in threes.
[00:11] <Ms. Altair> Heh. I don't think however old I get I'll be quite that nodern.
[00:11] <Ms. Altair> ^modern
[00:11] <Yaijinden> tee hee
[00:12] <Celeste> You never know.
[00:12] <Celeste> I'm not a sharing type however.
[00:12] * Ms. Altair shrugs
[00:12] <Ms. Altair> Same.

[00:16] <@Texas_Samurai> Yeah?
[00:16] <ApothecaryAssistant> would you...um...teach me...to cook? >>
[00:16] * Michael Sunnyside III is away: Ratchet, shall we thin out the stage a little more ♡
[00:16] <Celeste> Oh hey that's two students in one week.
[00:16] <ApothecaryAssistant> I...grew up as a noble...so I wasn't taught to cook...and...um...i want to surprise Lacie
[00:16] * Ms. Altair is away: Yes~
[00:17] <@Texas_Samurai> Sure!
[00:17] <ApothecaryAssistant> THANK YOU SO MUCH :D
[00:17] <Celeste> Gemini you're a hot commodity around here.
[00:17] <ApothecaryAssistant> This way I can really make Lacie happy....
[00:17] <@Texas_Samurai> ....Ah jus' know how t' cook? XDl
[00:17] <Celeste> And who doesn't love a good cook?
[00:17] <Celeste> Alternately
[00:18] <ApothecaryAssistant> Exactly :D

[00:20] * ApothecaryAssistant blushes thinking about that
[00:20] <@Texas_Samurai> - But if y'make apic of that Ah will kill you. -
[00:20] <ApothecaryAssistant> I wonder...if Lacie would want that...
[00:20] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Right XD;
[00:20] <Celeste> Oh no
[00:20] <Hideki Kaze> oh matsumi has done that...
[00:21] <Matsumi Kaze> HIDEKI!!! *turns really red*
[00:21] <Celeste> Pfffft.
[00:21] <Celeste> I could just casually talk about these things.
[00:21] <Celeste> Forever.
[00:22] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> You have a dangerous mind, Mama Celeste.
[00:22] <Yaijinden> yes yes
[00:22] <Eitak_Razal> I'm not listening to this
[00:22] * Eitak_Razal covers her ears
[00:22] <Celeste> Unlike others I just talk about my own and welcome opinions of others.
[00:23] <Celeste> Instead of creeping up and asking totally inappropriate questions. Unless there's consent.
[00:23] <Celeste> Then all bets are out the window.
[00:23] <@Texas_Samurai> Huh?
[00:23] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Before your time, Gems.
[00:23] <ApothecaryAssistant> Then...miss Celeste....how...do I really impress a girl? What type of roses sjpi;d O get jer
[00:24] <Celeste> You seemed to choke right there.
[00:24] <ApothecaryAssistant> should i get her^
[00:24] <ApothecaryAssistant> (( was falling off couch :p ))
[00:24] <Celeste> Red roses mean love, white mean friendship, pink are a tender sort of romance
[00:24] <Celeste> I suggest pink to start.
[00:25] <Celeste> And then I'm reminded of the anecdote of the girl who demanded a blue rose
[00:26] <Celeste> She would accept no one's hand in marriage unless they gave her a blue rose.
[00:26] <Celeste> Any attempts at blue roses she rejected. Even the most clever
[00:26] <Celeste> She turned down someone who gave her a blue rose painted in a bowl.
[00:26] <Yaijinden> :o
[00:26] <ApothecaryAssistant> Hmmm....I think Lacie would like pink roses....
[00:27] <Celeste> Someone produced an actual blue rose and she told him it was contaminated with chemicals and therefore she didn't want it.
[00:27] <@Texas_Samurai> ...Dang.
[00:27] <ApothecaryAssistant> Should I scatter the petals on the bed and trail petals to a lovely warm bubble bath for her to relax in? Or is that overdoing it?
[00:27] <Celeste> One day she fell in love with a boy who tried to woo her.
[00:27] <@Texas_Samurai> That's jus' bein' a b[BLEEP]ch, pardon mah French.
[00:27] <Celeste> The two were genuinely in love.
[00:27] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Give it a try, she seems to like you already.
[00:27] <Celeste> So when he asked her how to propose, she had a plan.
[00:29] <Celeste> Our hero boy walked in with a white rose. The family laughed at him but brought the rose to her.
[00:29] <ApothecaryAssistant> Really, Xadium? :D
[00:29] <ApothecaryAssistant> ^_^ I know she already cares deeply for me....
[00:29] <Celeste> She accepted it graciously and returned the gift with her hand in marriage.
[00:29] <Celeste> The family was floored and her response was "I see the rose as blue."
[00:30] <@Texas_Samurai> Awwwh
[00:30] <Celeste> I feel like there was a detail I missed from that story.
[00:30] <@Texas_Samurai> Really?
[00:30] <Celeste> Not sure.
[00:30] <@Texas_Samurai> Th' way Ah see it it's because love let her see with different eyes...
[00:30] <Celeste> I thought it was clever.
[00:31] <Yaijinden> Mm.
[00:31] <@Texas_Samurai> Before she was fixed on outer appaearances, but her haert wouldn't let her accept even th' things that looked right
[00:31] <@Texas_Samurai> So later her heart let her see th' real blue flower.
[00:31] <Celeste> She knew full well it was white
[00:32] <@Texas_Samurai> But th' MEANIN' was blue.
[00:32] <Celeste> That's how I see it.
[00:32] <Celeste> She got what she wanted, not what her family wanted.
[00:32] <@Texas_Samurai> ...Yeah.
[00:33] * @Doctor Xadium falls asleep in Gemini's lap
[00:33] * Blue Rose petals rain from above
[00:34] * @Texas_Samurai strokes his hair
[00:34] * Celeste brings her hands up and works on headscratches for Yai.
[00:34] * Plushie-chan sits on the railing above, tossing them from a basket.
[00:35] * Matsumi Kaze falls asleep again
[00:35] * @Texas_Samurai gives Plushie a thumbs-up!
[00:35] <David O`Cain> Heh. Nice.
[00:36] * Yaijinden makes happy noises and leans into it
[00:36] * Plushie-chan drops a few real blue roses before dropping off the railing and vanishing midfall
[00:36] *** Plushie-chan [Alchemist@Timecastle.net] has quit IRC
[00:36] * Celeste smiles and keeps at it.
[00:36] <Celeste> Love you.
[00:37] * Eitak_Razal , meanwhile, is unimpressed
[00:37] * @Texas_Samurai looks over Miss Celeste n' Mister Yai
[00:37] <Yaijinden> Love yooooou~
[00:37] <@Texas_Samurai> ....you guys make a good pairin'.
[00:39] <Celeste> :)

[00:39] <@Texas_Samurai> ^Frog
[00:39] <Hideki Kaze> ...interesting film
[00:39] <ApothecaryAssistant> Where can I get pink roses at this time of night? >>
[00:40] <Celeste> Keep considering the question game again.
[00:40] <David O`Cain> I probably oughta get going. Night, guys.
[00:40] <@Texas_Samurai> @ }-,-'--
[00:40] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has quit IRC (Have a good night.)
[00:40] <@Texas_Samurai> here!
[00:40] <@Texas_Samurai> Bye, David!
[00:40] <Hideki Kaze> night
[00:40] <ApothecaryAssistant> Thank you, Miss Gemini!!!!
[00:40] <ApothecaryAssistant> I can't wait to bring this up to Lacie....
[00:40] <ApothecaryAssistant> When will my first cooking lesson be? LD
[00:40] <ApothecaryAssistant> :D
[00:40] <Celeste> I always enjoy picking that out when I've got you like this, though.
[00:41] <@Texas_Samurai> Tomoroow mornin'!
[00:41] <@Texas_Samurai> ... afternoon
[00:41] <@Texas_Samurai> It's Saturday, X'll wanna sleep in XD;
[00:41] <Yaijinden> mmmm hrmses
[00:41] <Eitak_Razal> If she switches to evening I'll throw these rose petals at her...
[00:42] <@Texas_Samurai> Nah. HE ain't a mornin' person
[00:42] <Celeste> Making you think is so much fun
[00:42] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah git up with th' Sun when he's not around
[00:43] <Yaijinden> warblenoises
[00:43] <Yaijinden> makes me think quickly so i can focus on enjoying more
[00:43] <Celeste> Exactly.
[00:44] <Hideki Kaze> ..did she just call a frog a reptile...
[00:44] <@Texas_Samurai> Yup.
[00:44] <ApothecaryAssistant> I'll see you tomorrow, Miss Gemini! :D
[00:45] *** ApothecaryAssistant [assistant@abyss.net] has left #suburbansenshi2 (Who is it...that my heart longs for?)

[00:45] <@Texas_Samurai> G'night!
[00:45] * @Texas_Samurai pockets 'em
[00:45] <Celeste> Tell meeeeee about the best kiss you've ever had.
[00:46] <Yaijinden> The best kiss...
[00:46] * @Texas_Samurai figures she'll take X home now
[00:46] <@Texas_Samurai> G'night ya'll :)
[00:46] <Celeste> Good night!

[00:46] <Hideki Kaze> goodnight
[00:46] *** @Texas_Samurai [shiny@lonestar.com] has left #suburbansenshi2 (:D)
[00:46] * Yaijinden waves with one hand
[00:47] <Celeste> Two by two~
[00:48] <Yaijinden> Best kiss that wasn't you?
[00:48] <Celeste> That wasn't me.
[00:49] <Yaijinden> One of my teachers, back in the day.
[00:50] <Celeste> Oh?
[00:51] <Yaijinden> While Bixia taught me a lot of the subtle things about the world, I studied, briefly, beneath others.
[00:52] <Yaijinden> Crazier people.
[00:53] <Yaijinden> Hungrier sorts.
[00:53] * Celeste nods.
[00:54] <Yaijinden> She was fair, and passionate, and completely obsessed with the murder of one of her rivals, and for a time she groomed me as her lover and minion.
[00:55] <Celeste> Was she the one that made you khadi?
[00:55] <Yaijinden> That was someone different.
[00:55] <Yaijinden> But she recognized me for what I was, tho.
[00:55] * Celeste nods.
[00:57] <Yaijinden> She showed me the skies as she perceived them, and beneath the light of four moons and a thousand stars, she kissed me.
[00:59] <Celeste> That sounds romantic until I think of the prior context.
[00:59] * Hideki Kaze picks up his wife and heads upstairs
[00:59] *** Hideki Kaze [AirKnight@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi2
[00:59] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi2
[00:59] <Celeste> Two by two again~
[00:59] <Yaijinden> It was terribly romantic.
[01:00] <Yaijinden> The fact that she saw me as a replacement for someone else she'd lost didn't become an issue until later.
[01:00] * Celeste frowns.
[01:01] <Yaijinden> The mad are full of passion, and that was attractive.
[01:02] <Celeste> They can be, yes.
[01:02] <Yaijinden> I was blind enough to be swept up in it, and it was a hell of a ride.
[01:05] * Celeste leans over and kisses his forehead.
[01:05] <Yaijinden> Lesse.
[01:06] <Yaijinden> What have you come up with as far as splitting things, if anything, with Indigo?
[01:06] <Celeste> Mmmm
[01:06] <Celeste> Funny, we finally started talking about it.
[01:07] <Celeste> She's willing to keep the family.
[01:08] <Yaijinden> Mmm hmms?
[01:09] <Celeste> But she's not going to really talk to them. That was a plan before the split. But there's something she's dancing with.
[01:10] <Celeste> I can keep the people here as friends. She doesn't want it known that she ever escaped or there was a split.
[01:10] <Yaijinden> Mmmmm.
[01:10] <Celeste> I told her I'd give her a few days to reconsider that but I think her mind is set on leaving here.
[01:11] * Yaijinden nods, shifting in position
[01:11] * Celeste slows in her scratches for a moment.
[01:11] <Celeste> I can't stop her.
[01:12] <Celeste> But she's not leaving for awhile.
[01:12] <Yaijinden> Strength to recover, will to bolster.
[01:12] <Celeste> Yes
[01:13] <Celeste> I wonder where she'll go, what she'll do.
[01:14] <Yaijinden> ♫
[01:14] <Celeste> Who knows!
[01:15] <Yaijinden> It is a mystery she will get to live.
[01:15] <Celeste> I like it here right now, anyway.
[01:15] <Celeste> Mostly because you're here.
[01:16] <Yaijinden> Because I's ossum.
[01:16] <Celeste> Yes you are.
[01:16] <Celeste> You're one of the most fascinating people I've ever encountered.
[01:18] <Yaijinden> Aaaa-oosh.
[01:18] * Yaijinden snuggles in again
[01:19] <Celeste> Hmmmm
[01:19] <Yaijinden> I prefer you here m'self.
[01:20] <Yaijinden> For all the reasons.
[01:22] <Celeste> :)
[01:22] <Celeste> Bit problematic if I just up and left.
[01:23] <Celeste> What's something you miss that you can't get back?
[01:25] <Yaijinden> The closest thing I have to that nowadays is the distant but certain sense of invincibility tied to irresponsibility.
[01:26] <Yaijinden> That I couldn't be held responsible for anything so long as I didn't take responsibility.
[01:26] <Celeste> Hmmm.
[01:26] <Celeste> You
[01:26] <Celeste> You're a different person, now.
[01:27] * Celeste picks back up on headscratches
[01:27] <Yaijinden> Knowing what I do, it was a bit delusional to be so certain of it.
[01:28] <Yaijinden> It was close, though.
[01:28] <Celeste> But then you learned.
[01:29] <Celeste> And it made you who you are now.
[01:29] <Yaijinden> mmmm ♫
[01:29] <Yaijinden> What was the biggest change outside of me you've seen since you've come back?
[01:30] <Celeste> Hmmmmm
[01:30] <Celeste> There's the physical, of course.
[01:30] <Celeste> This isn't the house I left it. It's a hotel.
[01:30] <Celeste> People are gone.
[01:31] <Celeste> To be honest?
[01:31] <Celeste> A lot of this stayed the same in my opinion.
[01:32] <Celeste> I almost want to say Matsumi.
[01:32] <Celeste> Then I think about it and I shake my head.
[01:32] <Yaijinden> Mmmm.
[01:33] <Celeste> I think the biggest change I've seen is a vast absence that wasn't there before. It brings this place to be more tight knit but even then there are still divides I definitely notice.
[01:34] <Celeste> I'm starting something new
[01:35] <Celeste> Practicing uninvolvement.
[01:35] <Celeste> We'll see how long it lasts ♫
[01:35] <Yaijinden> Mmyarrs.
[01:36] * Celeste considers some questions.
[01:38] <Celeste> Outside of say, the obvious answers like Fionna or Mango or someone who's hostile, have you ever made someone cry?
[01:39] <Yaijinden> Deliberately?
[01:39] <Celeste> Either or
[01:41] <Yaijinden> There was the part where I arranged a very public death for myself. I honestly haven't checked in on how that turned out, but I can't imagine that went uncommented on by my blood kin.
[01:41] * Celeste frowns
[01:42] <Celeste> I'd hate to be them to be honest.
[01:43] <Yaijinden> I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing wherein I had good faith in the intentions and well-meaningness.
[01:43] <Yaijinden> That part of it was, now that I look at the everything else in the world, surprisingly functional.
[01:44] <Yaijinden> There's a zen proverb on that much...
[01:44] <Yaijinden> Once upon a time, a well-to-do merchant approaches a monk and offers a sizeable donation to the temple, and asks in request that the head abbot pen a blessing that he can hang in his home.
[01:45] <Yaijinden> The abbot agrees, and a week later the merchant receives a wall hanging. On the wall reading is written the following:
[01:45] <Yaijinden> Grandfather dies.
[01:45] <Yaijinden> Father dies.
[01:45] <Yaijinden> Son dies.
[01:46] <Celeste> Father dies
[01:46] <Celeste> Son dies--
[01:46] <Celeste> I know this :)
[01:46] <Yaijinden> And so. ♫
[01:46] <Yaijinden> Jinx y'owe me smooches.
[01:47] * Celeste leans in and gives him a long, passionate smooch.
[01:47] * Yaijinden caresses her cheek, enjoys this moment ♡
[01:48] * Celeste breaks the kiss and presses her forehead against his.
[01:49] <Yaijinden> And so.
[01:49] <Yaijinden> I don't fancy they handled an untimely death well.
[01:49] <Yaijinden> I may have been the family weirdo, but they loved me, and I still love them in that way you can love someone whom you haven't seen in ages but spent your formulative years with.
[01:50] * Celeste nods
[01:51] <Yaijinden> Others, over the course of things? Probably.
[01:53] <Yaijinden> But that's one of the moves I knew would hurt people and actually regretted making while knowing it was probably for the best.
[01:54] <Yaijinden> What was the hardest lesson you remember learning?
[01:56] <Celeste> Not to abandon people the second something new comes along.
[01:56] <Celeste> I hurt a lot of people that way.
[01:56] <Yaijinden> Mmf.
[01:57] <Celeste> Some of them lashed out at me. Some still do.
[01:58] <Celeste> Now I try the delicate balancing act,
[02:00] <Yaijinden> Something like licking a razor.
[02:00] <Celeste> Yes
[02:00] <Yaijinden> There's a right way, and a wrong way, and either way it's a bit unnerving.
[02:01] <Celeste> Even the right way you risk getting cut.
[02:01] * Celeste drums her fingers, thinking.
[02:03] <Celeste> Conversations like this. Where it's you and I.
[02:03] <Celeste> Do you ever get lost in that moment?
[02:03] <Yaijinden> Often.
[02:04] <Yaijinden> Late nights are good rambling time as it is.
[02:04] <Celeste> Not just me then.
[02:04] <Yaijinden> Not just you.
[02:04] <Yaijinden> You help. :3
[02:05] <Celeste> I try~
[02:05] <Celeste> Or maybe I don't.
[02:06] <Yaijinden> Sometimes you try and the conversation ends earlier because sometimes you trying involves winding me up to wind you up.
[02:07] <Celeste> ....
[02:07] <Yaijinden> :3
[02:08] <Celeste> Sometimes I think you read me like a book.
[02:09] <Celeste> I swear it's almost scary if not exciting.
[02:09] <Yaijinden> If you weren't so good at it I wouldn't be able to see.
[02:09] <Celeste> At what in particular?
[02:10] <Yaijinden> Pushing my buttons.
[02:11] <Celeste> Hee~
[02:11] <Celeste> I'll take that as a good thing.
[02:11] <Celeste> Feel free to tell me it's not.
[02:11] <Yaijinden> Oh, it's a good thing.
[02:11] <Yaijinden> You may rest assured in that.
[02:12] <Yaijinden> If I didn't trust you to play them it'd be something else entirely, but there's this thing
[02:12] <Yaijinden> Where I want you to be happy
[02:12] <Yaijinden> And you want me to be happy
[02:12] <Yaijinden> and it all works out.
[02:13] <Celeste> Hee
[02:13] <Celeste> Now I'm all giddy.
[02:15] <Yaijinden> :D
[02:15] <Yaijinden> Lessee.
[02:16] <Yaijinden> What's your favorite mistake?
[02:17] <Celeste> Hmmmmmmm
[02:18] <Celeste> Drinking games with friends.
[02:19] <Celeste> I wind up losing in a bad way but I have too much fun that even when it happens I could give no s[BLEEP]ts
[02:19] <Yaijinden> Hee hee.
[02:19] <Celeste> Alternately, telling Bixia just who my type was.
[02:20] <Celeste> It lead to some anxiety for a few days.
[02:20] <Celeste> Then it all worked out~
[02:21] <Yaijinden> Mmmmm.
[02:21] <Celeste> Let's see.
[02:24] <Celeste> Is there someone here that really grinds your gears?
[02:25] <Yaijinden> Not anymore.
[02:25] <Celeste> Really?
[02:25] <Yaijinden> I have dim memories of there being someone, but I could not tell you for the life of me who it was.
[02:25] <Celeste> Did they leave or...
[02:26] <Yaijinden> I couldn't tell you.
[02:26] * Celeste nods
[02:26] <Celeste> Huh.
[02:27] <Celeste> So many people are irritated at at least one person here
[02:27] <Yaijinden> I think...
[02:27] <Yaijinden> Oh! Roomie Rantsom.
[02:27] <Celeste> And then there's you.
[02:27] <Celeste> Oh.
[02:28] <Yaijinden> That was who it was.
[02:28] <Yaijinden> I did not understand why he thought he could live.
[02:28] <Yaijinden> What justification he whispered to himself.
[02:29] <Yaijinden> I know there had to have been something, because clearly he was alive, but then he did us the favor of deciding to be elsewhere.
[02:29] <Celeste> Huh
[02:30] <Celeste> Regardless
[02:30] <Yaijinden> Same question, you. Past or present.
[02:30] <Celeste> Mmmm
[02:31] <Celeste> Past had a list.
[02:31] <Celeste> Present has a list that is steadily shrinking once I sit down and comprehend why I'm frustrated.
[02:31] <Celeste> Then I pinpoint it and realize it's not worth all the effort
[02:31] <Celeste> And I let it go.
[02:32] <Yaijinden> Mmmmm hmm. :3
[02:33] <Celeste> Solarchos comes to mind as one of the few that has transcended both the past list and the present.
[02:33] <Celeste> Dare I say it
[02:34] <Celeste> I don't think I've met someone as foolish and delusional as he is.
[02:35] * Yaijinden nods thoughtfully
[02:39] <Celeste> Hmmm
[02:39] <Celeste> Time to stroke my ego. Ever dream about me?
[02:42] <Yaijinden> You're in there, yes.
[02:42] <Yaijinden> Someone I recognize as you, whatever shape you take.
[02:43] <Celeste> Huh
[02:43] <Celeste> Ever remember what I'm doing?
[02:44] <Yaijinden> Sometimes you're a dance partner.
[02:44] <Yaijinden> Sometimes we're lying supine, counting things in the sky.
[02:46] <Celeste> Lovely things~
[02:47] <Yaijinden> It's companionate.
[02:47] <Yaijinden> And there are sometimes the sexy dreams, but I don't remember much of those besides being varr nice.
[02:47] <Yaijinden> You said to ask you about dreaming me after movie. How'd that go?
[02:47] <Celeste> Oh my.
[02:48] <Celeste> Frustrating. My alarm woke me up before it could finish
[02:48] <Celeste> I kept trying to find you. I kept getting lost.
[02:50] <Celeste> I think I finally got on the right path and then beep beep beep you need to wake up.
[02:51] <Yaijinden> Mmmm.
[02:51] <Yaijinden> Also d'aww.
[02:51] <Celeste> Tisn't often that I dream. Even more rare that my dreams involve people I know.
[02:52] * Yaijinden nods
[02:52] <Celeste> So this was kind of a deal today.
[02:55] * Yaijinden takes one of her hands in his, traces shapes along the back with a finger
[02:57] * Celeste leans forward and rests her head on his shoulder.
[02:59] <Celeste> It think the word you used once was clarity of your goals.
[03:01] <Celeste> Any idea what those goals are? Even a vague silhouette?
[03:01] <Yaijinden> Mmmhmm?
[03:01] <Yaijinden> For me?
[03:01] <Yaijinden> Hmmmm.
[03:02] <Yaijinden> The bodhisattva oath is the closest image I can conceive.
[03:03] * Celeste nods.
[03:05] <Yaijinden> I used to be certain I could trick people into comprehension.
[03:05] <Celeste> Alas
[03:05] <Yaijinden> Now I'm certain I can trick people into understanding a trick.
[03:06] <Celeste> Hah.
[03:07] <Yaijinden> Hmmmmm entertaining coincidence question.
[03:07] <Celeste> Mm?
[03:07] <Yaijinden> Do you suspect that wanting to change the way you appear has anything to do with your particular origin story?
[03:08] <Celeste> Possibly.
[03:09] <Celeste> The name I realized later had tinges of it.
[03:10] <Celeste> But if you mean in a general sense of I'm not actually Indigo?
[03:10] <Celeste> I do think that was my subconscious speaking to me.
[03:11] <Celeste> If you mean who I was in specific, that I'm not so sure about.
[03:11] * Yaijinden nods sagely
[03:11] <Yaijinden> I'd thought something like.
[03:13] <Celeste> Something just pulled me this way and that way.
[03:13] <Celeste> And then the realization wasn't that devastating.
[03:14] <Yaijinden> It seemed important to know, but if you were fazed for long, you hid it well.
[03:14] <Celeste> There were more important things to worry about
[03:14] <Celeste> She's important to me.
[03:16] <Celeste> Trying to get her out of this state is something I need to focus on.
[03:16] <Celeste> Then I can worry about myself.
[03:16] <Yaijinden> You can work on anything that remains later.
[03:17] * Celeste nods
[03:17] <Celeste> How different are you from the soul that was trapped in the box?
[03:19] <Yaijinden> Structurally, you might as well be comparing a water flea and a colony of bees.
[03:20] <Yaijinden> Psychologically, if what little I've gleaned is right...
[03:21] <Yaijinden> Jacob is the soul that was in the box, and he seems to have wished to remain small.
[03:22] <Yaijinden> While retaining his sense of the big.
[03:22] <Yaijinden> He has the certainty of being human, which is to say a certain existential glee in the fact that he does not need to matter a billion years from now.
[03:24] <Celeste> Ironic since that seems to be the concern of so many others.
[03:25] <Yaijinden> Cosmos rises, cosmos falls.
[03:25] <Celeste> Yes.
[03:25] <Yaijinden> He's pretty cool with being a flicker and an eyeblink.
[03:25] <Yaijinden> I may last until its end.
[03:26] <Yaijinden> With the c[BLEEP]kroaches.
[03:26] <Yaijinden> And rei.bot. And maybe a few others.
[03:26] <Celeste> My inner romantic wishes I could be there with you :<
[03:28] <Yaijinden> You are with me now.
[03:28] <Yaijinden> Who could ask for anything more?
[03:28] <Celeste> This is true.
[03:30] * Celeste squeezes his hand.
[03:30] <Celeste> I love you.
[03:30] <Yaijinden> I love you too.
[03:32] <Celeste> You make me want to dance along the edges of the galaxy and not worry about how to find my way back.
[03:33] * Yaijinden swoons just a bit ♡
[03:33] <Celeste> But for right now?
[03:34] <Celeste> I think I need to sleep
[03:35] <Yaijinden> It's a good time for it.
[03:35] <Celeste> Indeed.
[03:35] <Celeste> Care to join me?
[03:35] <Yaijinden> I would!
[03:36] <Celeste> Lovely!
[03:37] * Celeste rises, offers a hand.
[03:37] * Yaijinden accepts, follows
[03:37] * Celeste is away: Maybe I'll show you just how much I love you before we sleep ♡
[03:39] * Yaijinden is away: the bonus round is the best part of the question game ♡

[10:54] <Matsumi Kaze> I had to learn how to cook mostly through school..I wasn't..that good at it XD
[10:55] <SilverTongue> What's the point of knowing how to cook if you can just get a Prinny to do the work
[10:55] <Matsumi Kaze> ..cept I don't
[10:55] <Matsumi Kaze> I make my own dinners
[10:56] <Matsumi Kaze> I'm going to go and check up on Hideki..see if he's awake...I'll be back in a bit

[14:37] <@Texas_Samurai> They's kin somehow too.
[14:37] <@Texas_Samurai> Which means you'd realted t' X an' me somehow.

[14:42] <Yaijinden> ohohoho
[14:42] <Matsumi Kaze> well think about it

[14:42] <Matsumi Kaze> being interconnected

[14:45] <@Texas_Samurai> Hmm

[14:46] <@Texas_Samurai> So Shinjiro's uncle's wife
[14:46] <@Texas_Samurai> Would be his aunt-in-law

[15:44] <Matsumi Kaze> how is it working out, X
[15:48] * Nihon_no_Slayer16 looks at Soeur_d'Apollo.

[15:50] * Amanda Sharlan walks in with several papers in her hands
[15:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> This is COMPLEX.
[15:51] <Amanda Sharlan> What're you doing?
[15:51] <Matsumi Kaze> oh god it is
[15:51] <Matsumi Kaze> working out our family tree
[15:51] <Amanda Sharlan> Our tree?
[15:51] <Amanda Sharlan> As in singular?
[15:52] <Amanda Sharlan> As in you're related?
[15:52] <Yaijinden> By adoption and marriage, yes.
[15:53] * Amanda Sharlan glances through her papers and nods, "Well congratulations."
[15:53] <Yaijinden> Some documentation has been found to be falsified, lending to a family tree that may more closely resemble a mobius loop.
[15:53] <Amanda Sharlan> Isn't that how history works?
[15:54] <Amanda Sharlan> I can't even begin to tell you how many loops we created in history
[15:56] <Matsumi Kaze> seems like it
[15:57] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Almost done;..
[15:57] <Amanda Sharlan> Speaking of falsifying information....
[15:57] <Matsumi Kaze> man I don' thave the Shins done....
[15:58] <Amanda Sharlan> You know of anyone who could help me reverse the damage done by the media?
[15:59] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I'd do new interviews with Gina.
[15:59] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> ^Ginga
[16:00] <Amanda Sharlan> I mean the fact the world knows Tony killed me.
[16:00] <Amanda Sharlan> I'm obviously not dead now.
[16:00] <Yaijinden> Dopplegangers or faked deaths.
[16:00] <Yaijinden> Perhaps you did it for your own safety. ♫
[16:02] <Matsumi Kaze> your evil twin did it
[16:03] <Amanda Sharlan> My evil twin?
[16:05] <Matsumi Kaze> did the killing
[16:06] * Amanda Sharlan frowns
[16:06] <Amanda Sharlan> Oh yes...that...
[16:06] * Amanda Sharlan sighs*
[16:07] <Amanda Sharlan> I'm just trying to find another job, and it's going to be odd for any company that hires a supposedly dead security director
[16:11] * Amanda Sharlan sits down at the bar and concentrates on her paperwork
[16:11] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Get Harriet to fix you new papers.
[16:11] <Amanda Sharlan> Is she anywhere nearby?
[16:11] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I can call her.
[16:12] <Amanda Sharlan> Okay
[16:12] * @Doctor Xadium does so

[16:16] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa harriet s. weinberg, esq.
[16:16] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> Welcome back from the dead, Amanda.
[16:16] <Amanda Sharlan> It's good to be back.
[16:17] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> X says you need some help?
[16:17] * Amanda Sharlan nods
[16:18] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> What can I do for you?
[16:18] * Matsumi Kaze keeps working on the family tree
[16:18] <Amanda Sharlan> I'm trying to apply for a new job, but as the whole world knows I died, it's going to make it rather unusual to be publicly looking
[16:19] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> Hmm.
[16:20] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> You may have to operate under an Alias.
[16:21] <Amanda Sharlan> I was really rather hoping I'd never have to go by another name again, but I suppose if I must.
[16:24] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> Well only in public.
[16:24] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> Unless you want to go the route that you miraculously survived your own death and kep that fact hidden until your pursuers were dealt with.
[16:25] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> That can be spun as well.
[16:25] <Amanda Sharlan> I would imagine the alias would be easier.
[16:25] <Yaijinden> It does have the advantage of being very technically true.
[16:26] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[16:26] * Matsumi Kaze snickers a bit to herself
[16:26] <Amanda Sharlan> I don't want to go through too much trouble just for a public display
[16:26] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> Remember, your death was reported amidst huge amounts of corporate espionage.
[16:27] * Amanda Sharlan nods in affirmation
[16:28] <Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq.> So saysing "your survived but had to hide" makes sense.
[16:28] <Amanda Sharlan> Very well then.
[16:30] <Matsumi Kaze> ok X I have the Shins done...
[16:30] <Matsumi Kaze> ...well as far as I want to go back

[16:31] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> hang on

[16:33] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> My familty kind of is not in generational sequence

[16:52] <Yaijinden> Sexy snoopin'?

[16:52] <Celeste> Really.
[16:52] <@RiderHeroProject> so, who is related to who now?
[16:52] * Yaijinden imagines things
[16:52] <@Texas_Samurai> Not really.
[16:52] <Yaijinden> ...you know, it's just not the same.
[16:52] <@RiderHeroProject> i kinda walked in on the "my white mama" moment
[16:52] <Matsumi Kaze> what kind of snoopin?
[16:53] <Yaijinden> Celeste you have ruined other women for me.
[16:53] <@Texas_Samurai> Ahh saw Nori n' Sakura sneakin' around.
[16:53] <@Texas_Samurai> Somethin' ain't right.
[16:53] <Yaijinden> And that Time Lord guy they both look up to!
[16:53] <Celeste> :o

[16:56] <Yaijinden> Rest assured, this is not a complaint.
[16:56] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> What 'Time Lord Guy they both look up to?'
[16:56] <Yaijinden> Va-something.
[16:56] <@Texas_Samurai> Oh, Vaxy's here. Ah thought Ah tole ya.
[16:57] * @Doctor Xadium pales
[16:57] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> What's he doing HERE
[16:57] <@Texas_Samurai> He said he was checkin' up on me...
[16:57] <Celeste> Was there a dramatic gasp?
[16:57] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> After two years?
[16:57] <Yaijinden> I think there was!
[16:57] <@Texas_Samurai> He said he wanted t'make sure we was okay...
[16:58] <Yaijinden> Two years is a good settling point, but it coincides very neatly with Sakura and Noriko going very very quiet.
[16:58] <@RiderHeroProject> Trouble in paradise~
[16:58] <Celeste> Now we just need a thunder crash and a lightning strike in the background. I am missing something.
[16:58] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Right. So when I was crawling through the sand and walking the Earth from 1927 to 2012, where was he.
[16:58] * @Doctor Xadium looks much like Thrash did last night.
[16:59] <@Texas_Samurai> Why're you two so sour on him?
[16:59] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Gemini, you knew him for seven years right?
[16:59] <Yaijinden> So I picked up that he's a big mucky-muck, but yes, she has my question also.
[16:59] <Thrash> because he's CIA
[16:59] *** Thrash has joined #suburbansenshi2
[16:59] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa thrash
[16:59] <@Texas_Samurai> Yup. But we was jus' friends.
[16:59] <Thrash> and nothing from the CIA is good
[17:00] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I know that. But in all that time, did he ever really tell you anything about himself?
[17:00] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I mean beyond....
[17:00] * @Doctor Xadium just LOOKS AT THRASH
[17:00] * Thrash frowns
[17:00] <@Texas_Samurai> No, not really... he sorta left me on mah own a lot.
[17:00] <Celeste> If I wasn't stuck in the whole volcano thing would I likely be less lost?
[17:01] <Yaijinden> No, this is news to me.
[17:01] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah jus' tagged along because he said he'd help me find you. Well Impy.
[17:01] <@Texas_Samurai> An' Ah was learnin' a lot.
[17:01] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Thrash, I was CIA.
[17:01] <Celeste> Oh good. I...think
[17:01] <Thrash> yes and look what it got you
[17:02] * @Doctor Xadium frowns
[17:02] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Indeed.
[17:02] <@Texas_Samurai> Whut is this CIA anyway
[17:02] <Thrash> Celestial Intervention Agency
[17:02] <@Texas_Samurai> Not th' American thing, Ah'm guessin'.
[17:02] <Thrash> you know how us Time Lords are not suppose to interfere?
[17:03] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Black Ops branch of the Time Lords. To overimplify.
[17:03] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Well, we interfered.
[17:04] <Thrash> very nasty people if you cross them...
[17:04] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> And Vaxillan is... well he's basically the CIA rolled up into one tidy package.
[17:04] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> You know how Noriko acted when she first came here?
[17:04] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> She's CIA too. That's hjow they act.
[17:04] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Sakura sort of moonlights for them.
[17:05] <@Texas_Samurai> ....
[17:05] <@Texas_Samurai> And now they's both actin' strange.
[17:05] <@Texas_Samurai> He said he was their teacher...
[17:05] <Yaijinden> Both Sakura and Noriko acknowledged debts to him.
[17:05] <Thrash> my..FATHER.....was one
[17:06] * Thrash says the word father was as much venom and hatred as he can muster
[17:06] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Oh, no offense, but I wanted to punch your father.
[17:06] <Thrash> so did I
[17:07] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Speaking of which...
[17:07] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Why is there a huge gap in the Hotel logs.
[17:07] <Yaijinden> When?
[17:07] <Thrash> ....that's odd
[17:07] <Thrash> mind if I look?
[17:08] * @Doctor Xadium looks for the exact time
[17:08] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> 11:55-14:!8 is missing.
[17:08] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Like it never happened.
[17:08] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Or was unhappened.
[17:09] <Yaijinden> :o
[17:09] * Yaijinden counts back
[17:09] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Thrash, see if you can whip up a Temporal Undeleter.
[17:10] <Thrash> on it
[17:10] <Yaijinden> That was about when Matsumi got Bloodkin News.
[17:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> We might be able to get some fragmentary moments from the lost time
[17:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Yes...
[17:10] * Thrash goes to the kitchen....and starts pull out various pots and pans...and digs thourgh his pocket pulling out wires, sticks and a bottle of wine
[17:10] <Celeste> Hm?
[17:11] <Yaijinden> Apparently Matsumi is descended from-- is this other girl a Koubu pilot too?
[17:11] <Yaijinden> Her paternal grandmother.
[17:12] <Celeste> What they were watching last night while you and I watched 2001?
[17:12] * Thrash stacks the pots and pans in a pyramid shape and circles them with wires and tops them with sticks
[17:12] <@Texas_Samurai> STAR unit, but yeah.
[17:12] <Yaijinden> Yeah.
[17:12] * Thrash puts the bottle on the top and puts some wires in it
[17:12] <Thrash> ok, ready, Xadium?
[17:13] * Celeste nods.
[17:13] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Yup
[17:13] * @Doctor Xadium plugs it into the TV
[17:13] <Celeste> So she has some more direct relation to Gemini, then?
[17:13] * Thrash pulls out a spoon and bangs it in a sequence...before tapping it three times on the wine
[17:13] <@Texas_Samurai> Not really...
[17:13] <Celeste> Not blood-wise.
[17:13] <Thrash> *on the pots and pans
[17:13] <Thrash> that should do it....
[17:14] <@Texas_Samurai> Her gran was a friend, though.
[17:14] <Celeste> That's what I mean
[17:14] * Yaijinden produces a chart
[17:14] * You see
[17:14] * the TV crackles to life
[17:15] * You see one wall of the loby explode inward, Noriko's body in flames
[17:15] <Yaijinden> Oh hey!
[17:15] * you see it roll to the ground, charred, flesh melting, quite dead. No regeneration
[17:15] <Thrash> ...............
[17:15] * @Texas_Samurai hand flies to her mouth
[17:16] <Celeste> See I'm not in this chart
[17:16] <Thrash> now I do not approve of this at all....
[17:16] * Celeste looks up from the chart
[17:16] * you see Sakura blasting something with energy from her blade as she backs in through the hole
[17:16] * Sakura sees Noriko's body, and grabs it, then goes offscreen
[17:17] * there's static, and then the lobby looks normal
[17:17] * the wall explodes agian, but this time Sakura and Noriko go through the wall, singed and burnt, but okay
[17:17] * Sakura then uses a sonic on a wall, and there's static again
[17:18] * the image vanishes
[17:18] <@Texas_Samurai> What...
[17:18] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> What happened to Noriko?!
[17:18] <Thrash> that's all there is
[17:18] <Celeste> I think I'm really lost.
[17:18] <Thrash> dead by the look of it
[17:18] <Yaijinden> :O
[17:18] <Yaijinden> Me too!
[17:19] <Celeste> Team lost over here.
[17:19] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> It looks like Noriko was killed but then... Sakura changed things.
[17:19] <Yaijinden> There are hijinks afoot.
[17:19] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> And erased the evidence.
[17:19] <Yaijinden> Hijinks and shenanigans.
[17:19] <Thrash> so...what do we do?
[17:19] * Celeste gasps dramatically!
[17:19] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I always liked that word... Shenanigans...
[17:20] <@Texas_Samurai> We gotta talk to Sakura!
[17:20] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Gems if she wanted us to know she wouldn't have hidden this.
[17:20] <Thrash> I saw we talk to your dear CIA friend...
[17:21] <Thrash> *say
[17:21] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> He's not my friend.
[17:21] <The Actuary> Stay outof this.
[17:21] * The Actuary comes in, hobbling on a crutch.
[17:22] <The Actuary> Just... leave it alone.
[17:22] <Thrash> oh look who it is
[17:22] <Thrash> can't
[17:22] <@Texas_Samurai> Nori!
[17:22] <The Actuary> It's not your concern.
[17:22] * The Actuary coughs a bit, phleghmy.
[17:23] <The Actuary> I appreciate....it.
[17:23] <The Actuary> But this is something I have to deal with.
[17:23] <Thrash> dear oh dear
[17:23] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Why are you so stubborn! Is this pride? The same wilful pride as your--
[17:23] <Thrash> stubborn like your father
[17:24] <The Actuary> ENOUGH!
[17:24] * Celeste slowly gets the popcorn
[17:24] * The Actuary makes her way to the elevator
[17:24] * The Actuary 's crutch slips, and she almost falls
[17:25] * The Actuary growls and forces herself to the door, pressing butan
[17:25] * The Actuary is away 
[17:25] <@Texas_Samurai> :/
[17:25] <Thrash> just like her father
[17:26] <@Texas_Samurai> Yeah Ah'm gonna find Sakura
[17:26] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I'm nowhere near as stubborn ><
[17:26] <Celeste> I get move vibes of Shaldra.
[17:26] <Thrash> oh are you so sure???
[17:26] <Celeste> more^
[17:26] * @Doctor Xadium nods to Celeste
[17:27] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> That's her mother's stubborn "I can do it all" mentality.
[17:27] <@Texas_Samurai> Oh yeah, you ain't got none'a that at all. sugar :P
[17:27] <Thrash> then what do we do?
[17:27] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah'll git answers off Sakura.
[17:28] <@Texas_Samurai> She n' Ah go way back, she won't shut me out.
[17:28] * @Texas_Samurai is away 
[17:28] * Celeste holds her tongue~
[17:28] <Thrash> I would like to know what Vrax is here
[17:28] * @Texas_Samurai gits th' door shut on her
[17:28] * @Texas_Samurai is back
[17:28] <@Texas_Samurai> Well shoot.
[17:28] <@RiderHeroProject> was her mother really suppose to be THAT bad?
[17:28] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> No, her mother wasn't bad.
[17:28] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Just stubborn.
[17:29] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Stubbornness can be a good thing. Except when it isn't.
[17:29] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Like right now.
[17:29] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah can be more stubborn than all y'all!
[17:29] <Thrash> I could construct a quantum ram..break down the door
[17:29] <Matsumi Kaze> yes you can
[17:29] * @Texas_Samurai puts on her hat jus' to drag it down over her eyes in a show of d-termination!
[17:30] <@Texas_Samurai> Don't need no dang Quantum goat.
[17:30] * @Texas_Samurai goes back t'th door an' POUNDS ON IT
[17:30] <@RiderHeroProject> hmm
[17:30] <@RiderHeroProject> Then if you ask me
[17:31] <Matsumi Kaze> .......

[17:31] <Celeste> Which no one he has~
[17:31] <@RiderHeroProject> you just help them anyway, and let them be made till you give them a beer later and let them hit you in the mouth
[17:31] <@RiderHeroProject> be mad, the more apt way to say it.
[17:31] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Well duh.
[17:31] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> That's what family's for.
[17:32] * @Sakura Xadium Aino gives in
[17:32] * @Sakura Xadium Aino gets HAULED OUT
[17:32] <@Texas_Samurai> So now, darlin', tell me what's ....
[17:32] * @Texas_Samurai sees Sakura has a HUGE black eye
[17:32] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> ...
[17:33] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Look, I don't wanna talk about it.
[17:33] * @Sakura Xadium Aino 's clothes are also pretty badly damaged
[17:33] <Thrash> you've already said quite a bit
[17:33] <@RiderHeroProject> sweet christmas, you look like a raccoon
[17:33] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Oh, tell me more, Sherlock :P
[17:34] <@Texas_Samurai> You git in a fight?
[17:34] <@RiderHeroProject> or that dog from the little rascals
[17:34] <Thrash> well obviously the damage to the eye and yes...that
[17:34] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> I hit my face on the doorknob :P
[17:34] <Thrash> which I would take as having to do with trying to save your sister's life....
[17:34] * @Texas_Samurai smacks Sakura lightly
[17:34] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> .......
[17:35] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> I dunno what you mean, Thrash. Nori's way tougher than me. Always has been.
[17:35] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Nothing can kill her ^^
[17:35] <@RiderHeroProject> alright
[17:35] <@RiderHeroProject> there is only one way to get her to talk
[17:35] <@RiderHeroProject> unleash......THE FEATHERS
[17:36] <Thrash> what would you say if I said the word...flames
[17:36] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> ............
[17:36] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Thrashy, thrashy thrashy~
[17:36] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> I didn't go see the Tom Cruise Glam rock movie, no.
[17:37] <Thrash> oh Sakura....you are so slippy
[17:37] * @Sakura Xadium Aino puts her hands behind her back and taps her watch
[17:37] * @Sakura Xadium Aino 's watch beeps
[17:37] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Oh snap! Dinner appointment!
[17:37] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Gotta go, you guys!
[17:37] <@RiderHeroProject> nice try
[17:37] * @Sakura Xadium Aino turns ot flee
[17:37] * @Texas_Samurai grabs th' back of her vest.
[17:38] <@Texas_Samurai> C'mon! We's yer friends, ain't we?
[17:38] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Guys... let this one go.
[17:38] <Thrash> you forget she's a timelord....
[17:38] <Thrash> just as willing to be decietful and full of tricks as the rest of us
[17:38] * @Sakura Xadium Aino wirggles out of her vest using Houdini-like skill
[17:39] * @Sakura Xadium Aino rolls forward and makes for the door
[17:39] * Thrash slams the door shut with his foot
[17:39] * @Texas_Samurai flicks her blade an inch out of its scabbard with her thumb. It's a silent move, but you can bet Sakura heard it.
[17:40] * @Sakura Xadium Aino doesn't look back at Gemini
[17:40] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> What'
[17:40] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> What's your move, cowgirl~?
[17:40] <@Texas_Samurai> Darlin', we's been friends a looong time. Afore any of th' folk here.
[17:41] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah'm askin' respectful-like. Siddown an' talk.
[17:41] * @Sakura Xadium Aino squares her shoulders
[17:41] * Yaijinden is on the edge of his perch :O :D
[17:41] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> You wouldn't understand.
[17:42] <@Texas_Samurai> Well TELL ME. An; if Ah don't Ah don't.
[17:42] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> I'm going through that door.
[17:42] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Now you can either attack me, or let me go.
[17:43] <@Texas_Samurai> Whut's so big a deal y'cain't share it with us?!
[17:43] * @Sakura Xadium Aino takes a step towards the door
[17:43] * @Texas_Samurai withdraws her blade fully
[17:43] <@Texas_Samurai> Y'ain't leavin' this here house, lil' lady~
[17:43] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Heh.
[17:44] <Yaijinden> /squeal i love that sound so much
[17:44] * @Sakura Xadium Aino takes another step
[17:44] <Yaijinden> also using my small voice
[17:44] <@Texas_Samurai> Mifune Ryu Kempo...
[17:44] <Yaijinden> i said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud
[17:44] * @Sakura Xadium Aino stiffens a touch
[17:44] * @Sakura Xadium Aino takes one more step
[17:45] <@Texas_Samurai> OUKA... HOUSHIN!!!!
[17:45] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> !
[17:45] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Wait that--
[17:45] * @RiderHeroProject equips Popcorn of Drama, +1 interest, +1 awaiting lulz
[17:45] * @Texas_Samurai sends a blast of energy THROUGH Sakura ahrmlessly which takes out the door and front of the lobby, collapsing it on Sakura
[17:46] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> GRRRK
[17:46] * @Sakura Xadium Aino is in a pile of rubble, hand sticking out
[17:46] * @Sakura Xadium Aino clenches her hand into a fist
[17:46] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> FINE WOMAN! YOU WANNA PLAY~?
[17:46] <@RiderHeroProject> oh oh!
[17:46] <@RiderHeroProject> i saw this at the end of TMNT 2: Secret of the ooze!
[17:46] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> LET's PLAY! VENUS POWER, MAKE UP!!
[17:47] * Matsumi Kaze gets out of the way...
[17:47] * @Sakura Xadium Aino is now known as Super Sailor Galaxy V
[17:47] <@RiderHeroProject> She's gonna be REALLY buff and REALLY spikey once she gets out
[17:47] * Celeste sighs
[17:47] * Thrash moves Matsumi back to a safe spot
[17:47] * @Super Sailor Galaxy V EXPLODES the ubble out from around her
[17:47] * @Texas_Samurai shoves a slice of Pizza in her mouth
[17:47] <@Super Sailor Galaxy V > I mmRRFGFGM... nom
[17:48] <@Super Sailor Galaxy V > ....nom.
[17:48] * @Super Sailor Galaxy V is now known as Sakura Xadium Aino
[17:48] * @Sakura Xadium Aino sits and noms <<
[17:48] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> phenommennom nom >_>
[17:48] * @Sakura Xadium Aino slowly eats hte pizza, dammit
[17:49] <Yaijinden> doot dooooo dee doo doo
[17:49] <@Texas_Samurai> - Th' one weakness of all Xadiums~ -
[17:49] <Celeste> I should try that as a tactic some time.
[17:49] * @Doctor Xadium hangs his head "It's true, it's true."
[17:49] <Celeste> Shove pizza in people's mouths.
[17:49] *** Amanda Sharlan has left #suburbansenshi2
[17:50] * @Sakura Xadium Aino eats the pizza, but doesn't move to flee
[17:50] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Cheap trick using my own move on me ><
[17:50] <@Texas_Samurai> It worked :P
[17:50] <Celeste> Or I don't know. I need something more me-related.
[17:50] <@Texas_Samurai> So talk already.
[17:51] <Vaxilan> Lady Blyledge, there you are!
[17:51] <Vaxilan> /em smiles
[17:51] * Thrash frowns
[17:51] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> !
[17:51] * @Sakura Xadium Aino straightens up
[17:52] * @Sakura Xadium Aino stands and wipes some pizza from her mouth
[17:52] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Y-yes, Lord Vaxilan.
[17:52] <Vaxilan> Have you seen Lady Actuary around?
[17:52] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> She's umm... she's resting.
[17:53] * Vaxilan nods to Xadium and Thrash
[17:53] <Vaxilan> Good, good. Tell her I want to see her again when she's refreshed.
[17:53] * Vaxilan nods to Miss Sunrise.
[17:53] *** Vaxilan [@#$@Q$@#$Q@#] has left #suburbansenshi2
[17:53] * @Sakura Xadium Aino slumps slightly as soon as he's gone.
[17:53] <Thrash> I wish you would let me punch them
[17:54] <Thrash> *him
[17:54] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> It's no good, he has a HADS-R, you'd end up punching yourself.
[17:54] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> In the eye.
[17:55] <@Texas_Samurai> ....You hit.... yerself?!
[17:55] <Thrash> you're afraid of him, aren't you...
[17:55] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Why were you trying to hit him?!
[17:55] * @Sakura Xadium Aino looks at Thrashmaster
[17:55] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Afraid of him? No.
[17:56] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> But I am afraid...
[17:56] <Thrash> for her
[17:56] <Thrash> for your sister
[17:56] * @Sakura Xadium Aino looks at Thrash with cow-filled eyes
[17:57] * @Sakura Xadium Aino doesn't say anything
[17:57] <Thrash> you're afraid of what may happen to her
[17:57] <@Texas_Samurai> Sakura, what's goin' on.
[17:57] <Thrash> ...that's why you went after him
[17:57] <Thrash> to stop it happening again
[17:57] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Shut up ><
[17:57] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Stop talking about it ><
[17:57] <Thrash> to stop her from dying again
[17:58] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> - I told you to stop -
[17:58] <Thrash> in pain..in flames
[17:58] * @Sakura Xadium Aino holds her head in her hands
[17:58] <@Texas_Samurai> Okay Thrash, yer kinda diggin;' in th' spurs thar
[17:59] * Thrash kneels down..and puts his hand on Sakura's shoulder
[17:59] <Thrash> ...it's ok
[17:59] <Thrash> ....we're all here for you
[17:59] * @Sakura Xadium Aino sniffles and wipes her eyes
[17:59] <Thrash> and we're here for her too
[17:59] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Lemme explain...
[17:59] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Vaxilan there never really had... use for me.
[18:00] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Because of my patron I was in fairly high class family on Gallifrey.
[18:00] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> And because of my mom and dad... I had certain... lines I wouldn't cross.
[18:00] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> He couldn't mold, or shape me.
[18:00] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Not the way he wanted.
[18:00] * Thrash frowns...
[18:00] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> He gave me the skills...
[18:00] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> But that's it.
[18:01] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> What I did with them was my own Thing-a-ling.
[18:01] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> So he puts up with me, and me with him.
[18:01] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> But that's about it. I can punch him in the face and he has to take it. Assuming he doesn't cheat.
[18:01] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Which he always does.
[18:02] * @Texas_Samurai listens, she's never heard this kind of thing about Vaxy before
[18:02] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> But Noriko...?
[18:02] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> I was her sponsor, but she was always seen as Dad's girl.
[18:03] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> And Dad's family is... a lot lower on the totem pole than House Blyledge.
[18:03] * Thrash looks to Xadium
[18:03] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> And Nori had no one to help her in her youth...
[18:03] <Thrash> that somehow doesn't surprise me
[18:03] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> she was frustrated, angry and alone.
[18:03] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> She was the perfect lump of clay.
[18:03] <Thrash> the perfect little tool
[18:04] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> He took her in, and gave her what she wanted. Strength, the power to change things.
[18:04] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> She took to him like a fly to s[BLEEP]t.
[18:04] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> She was his protogé.
[18:04] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> the one to take over when he finally retired.
[18:04] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> She's like a daughter to him.
[18:05] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> More in the sense of a Daughter who Must Live up to Her Father's Dreams.
[18:05] * @Sakura Xadium Aino pauses
[18:05] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah'm not... followin;?
[18:06] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Gems you weren't here when Nori first showed up.
[18:06] <Thrash> he's pushing her
[18:06] <Yaijinden> Mmmmm.
[18:06] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> She was a harsh, ruthless, cold-blooded operative.
[18:06] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> She would cut you down without blinking an eye to serve her greater purpose.
[18:07] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> People here were like ants to her.
[18:07] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> But what
[18:07] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> is the one thing this place does so well when it works?
[18:07] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> It digs out the humanity...
[18:07] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> makes it come to the surface through friendships and bonds.
[18:07] <Yaijinden> Heh.
[18:08] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> you saw, didn't you, when Suthers was a Thing™? How Nori tried to take on the mantle of The Actuary and go all hardcore?
[18:08] <@Texas_Samurai> Yeah...
[18:08] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> But she can't.
[18:09] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> The Actuary of today is not the Actuary of 2005.
[18:09] <Thrash> ....he's trying to bring that back out, isn't he
[18:09] * @Sakura Xadium Aino nods weakly
[18:09] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> He's...pushing her.
[18:09] <Thrash> ..he's trying to remove her humanity once more
[18:09] <Thrash> make her just another cold blooded agent again
[18:09] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Pushing her harder than even she can be pushed.
[18:09] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> And she won't... stand up to him.
[18:10] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Because he was there for her when her family was destroyed.
[18:10] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> And he's... killing her.
[18:10] * @Texas_Samurai clenches her fist, angry
[18:10] <@Texas_Samurai> - He ain't got th' right... -
[18:11] <Vaxilan> Oh, but I do.
[18:11] * Vaxilan appears behind Sakura all of a sudden.
[18:11] <Thrash> typical CIA bloodless....
[18:11] <Vaxilan> She is my operative. And she will either be fit for duty, or she will perish.
[18:11] * Yaijinden leans in, the boy-isn't-this-fun look on his face somehow absent
[18:12] <@Texas_Samurai> VAXY! How could you?!
[18:12] <Vaxilan> How could I? It's very simple, Miss Sunrise.
[18:12] <Vaxilan> We at the Celestial Intervention Agency are tasked with maintaining the integrity of the Web of Time.
[18:13] <Vaxilan> Now, here, in this place, you have "Time Sages" *spits* "time Senshi" and the like.
[18:13] <Vaxilan> All running amok.
[18:14] <Vaxilan> And my agent, Lady Actuary, is the lone bulwark against that chaos... as Lady Blyledge is too concerned with affairs of state on Venus.
[18:14] <Vaxilan> And she is distressingly... lax.
[18:14] <Thrash> that doesn't mean you have to make her an emotionless killer
[18:14] <Vaxilan> So I have taken it upon myself to train her. Personally.
[18:15] <Vaxilan> Emotionless?
[18:15] <Vaxilan> There's nothing wrong with emotions, Lord Thash.
[18:15] <Vaxilan> Else why not simply hire a Cyberman for the job?
[18:15] <Vaxilan> But emotions must be controlled.
[18:16] <Thrash> because they aren't efficinate enough?
[18:16] <Vaxilan> Focused. Put. To. Use.
[18:16] * @Texas_Samurai 's eyes are so wide
[18:16] <@Texas_Samurai> Yer not th' man Ah knew...
[18:16] <Vaxilan> Of course I am.
[18:16] <Vaxilan> I babysat you for seven years.
[18:17] <Vaxilan> Made sure you got where you needed to be. Equipped with the skills to survive in a new cenrtury.
[18:17] <Thrash> did you hear that, gemini....babysat
[18:17] <Vaxilan> Put up with your ceaseless prattle.
[18:17] <@Texas_Samurai> .....
[18:18] <Vaxilan> I did my job.
[18:18] <Vaxilan> I did it well, and professionally.
[18:18] <Thrash> and you are very good at that
[18:19] <Vaxilan> And that is what I expect of Lady Actuary.
[18:19] * Vaxilan sighs
[18:19] <Vaxilan> Suthers. Blyledge mentioned him.
[18:19] <Vaxilan> Lady Actuary... the one *I* trained...
[18:20] <Vaxilan> would have engineered his demise the first day he arrived here.
[18:20] <Vaxilan> He would never have become an issue.
[18:20] <Vaxilan> Promethus, likewise.
[18:20] <@Texas_Samurai> Mah Daughter AIN'T NO KILLER.
[18:21] * Vaxilan laughs
[18:21] <Vaxilan> Oh but she is!
[18:21] <Vaxilan> She was one of the best I'd ever seen.
[18:21] <Vaxilan> Remorseless. Effective. Beautiful.
[18:22] <Vaxilan> A thing of sublime beauty to watch.
[18:22] * @Texas_Samurai is feelin' sick...
[18:22] <Vaxilan> I will return her to her glory.
[18:22] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> You broke her arm!
[18:23] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> And her leg!
[18:23] <Vaxilan> Icarus' wings burned as he reached for the sun.
[18:23] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> - And we know what happened to him -
[18:24] <Vaxilan> I have faith in her skills. A shame you do not.
[18:24] <Vaxilan> She will succeed where he failed.
[18:24] <Vaxilan> She will achieve the highest heights of splendour.
[18:24] * Vaxilan vanishes
[18:24] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> .......
[18:24] <Thrash> now you see the truth, gemini
[18:25] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah won't allow it, Ah won't ALLOW IT!
[18:25] * @Texas_Samurai PUNCHES THE BAR
[18:25] <Yaijinden> ...oh, the parallels.
[18:25] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah cain't believe AH... lived with him for SEVEN YEARS
[18:25] <@Texas_Samurai> And Ah never had ANY clue what he was about!!
[18:25] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> That
[18:26] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> is the kind of man he is.
[18:26] <Yaijinden> There is no shame in being unable to look behind the mask of someone who has ages of experience wearing them.
[18:27] <Thrash> so what do we do?
[18:27] * @Texas_Samurai looks at Mister Yai with th' eyes of someone who feels so totally betrayed
[18:27] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> We--
[18:27] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> YOU will do nothing.
[18:27] <Yaijinden> It seems... unusually open for a manipulator to so prominently announce his intentions.
[18:28] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> This is a guy who will gladly collapse this Hotel into a black hole to get what he wants
[18:28] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> IT is, but you know why? Because I already called him on it.
[18:28] * @Sakura Xadium Aino points to her black eye
[18:28] <Yaijinden> And the jig was up.
[18:29] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Yeah. Besides, I'm sure he would love for everyone to just try and stop him.
[18:29] <Yaijinden> What would you propose be done instead, Sakura? :3
[18:29] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> I--
[18:29] <The Actuary> NO.
[18:29] <The Actuary> This is my fight.
[18:29] * The Actuary is leaning on her crutch.
[18:29] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Fight?
[18:30] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> You're just doing what he says!
[18:30] <The Actuary> I can meet his standards... without losing who I am now.
[18:30] <The Actuary> I know I can.
[18:30] <The Actuary> And then... he'll leave.
[18:30] * The Actuary smiles weakly
[18:30] <The Actuary> He'll leave... I just have to win :)
[18:30] * The Actuary is away 
[18:31] <Yaijinden> She's so -sure-.
[18:31] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> He's better than the two of us together...
[18:32] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Just... gimme some time to think...
[18:32] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> That's all I need... time to think.
[18:32] <Yaijinden> There's a certain poetry to this, I find.
[18:32] * @Sakura Xadium Aino is away 
[18:33] <@Texas_Samurai> How's that?
[18:33] * @Doctor Xadium is away 
[18:33] * @Texas_Samurai looks back to see X go ><
[18:34] <@Texas_Samurai> Why's it so poetic?
[18:34] * Thrash is away: *goes into his TARDIS*
[18:34] <Yaijinden> Seven years ago, "Sakura 2.0" arrives, informs me she is going to slay me because it's just a matter of time before I am... repurposed to serve as the thrall herald.
[18:35] <Yaijinden> She's right, because then I am still a khadi and there's a chunk of history in which my heart will be bartered to Things beyond Space for maximum invasion capacity on their part.
[18:35] <Celeste> Was it that long ago?
[18:35] * @Texas_Samurai listens
[18:36] <Yaijinden> Maybe six. But not more than that.
[18:36] <Yaijinden> Less than that. Whatevs!
[18:36] <Yaijinden> I'm okay with the idea of being used as a weapon, back then, because I don't really have any choice in the matter. It doesn't matter what I do, it doesn't matter how vigorously I protest, it doesn't matter what I feel about it-- it is going to be.
[18:37] <Yaijinden> And then she posits an alternative.
[18:37] * Matsumi Kaze sighs
[18:37] <Yaijinden> I can't quit myself, I can't betray the location of my heart's keeper, but I can be forced to seek it out myself and show others the way.
[18:37] * @Texas_Samurai nods...
[18:38] <Yaijinden> And when that particular storm is done, and I've set the future in motion anew, for the first time I wonder what it is to be capable of being free.
[18:39] <Yaijinden> I was playing a game because I thought I had to.
[18:39] <Yaijinden> And now, so is she.
[18:40] <Yaijinden> Curiously enough, I am now in a position to do something about it.
[18:41] <Yaijinden> I wonder if that was her first 'misstep' from that ideal form.
[18:41] <@Texas_Samurai> What, helpin' you?
[18:42] <Yaijinden> Allowing me to survive when it would have been much more predictable to do otherwise.
[18:42] * Celeste raises an eyebrow
[18:42] <Celeste> I oddly recall none of this.
[18:43] <Yaijinden> Much of it was conducted away from prying eyes.
[18:43] <@Texas_Samurai> Despite what Vax...ilan says, she ain't a killer. I believe it.
[18:43] <Celeste> That might explain it.
[18:43] <Matsumi Kaze> I agree
[18:44] <Celeste> Then I vanished and then things happened.
[18:44] <Yaijinden> Is he retired fro, field duty, or from the CIA altogether?
[18:45] <@Texas_Samurai> Huh?
[18:45] * @Texas_Samurai couldn't make sens'a that sentence <_<
[18:45] * @Doctor Xadium is back
[18:45] <Yaijinden> Bleh.
[18:46] <Yaijinden> Someone said he'd retired. From what?
[18:46] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> He... is the head of the CIA that stands behind the public head.
[18:46] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> He's not retired. *I* am <_<
[18:46] <@Texas_Samurai> Cuz you ain't that god of a liar! XD
[18:47] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> ....quite.
[18:47] <Yaijinden> Heh.
[18:47] <Yaijinden> There remains a potentially easy out for her.
[18:48] <Yaijinden> Also retire.
[18:48] <Matsumi Kaze> ....we need something to cheer us up
[18:49] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Well here's the thing.
[18:49] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I was an operative prior to the Last Great Time War.
[18:49] <Yaijinden> yes yes the politics of the situation do go on :O
[18:49] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Back then, you could do your time, and get out, get a nice home in the mountains, that kind of thing.
[18:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> After the War?
[18:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> you never leave.
[18:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Except in a box.
[18:50] <Yaijinden> Oh my. ♫
[18:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> A box dumped in a Oubliette of Eternity.
[18:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Wherein you are erased from ever having been.
[18:51] <Yaijinden> Most complicated!
[18:51] <Celeste> Silence...?
[18:51] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Huh?
[18:52] <Celeste> No I mean I've "heard"
[18:52] <Celeste> of something like that and I keep thinking it has to do with silence or something.
[18:52] <Celeste> Forgetting what they look like
[18:53] <Yaijinden> Then there remains an even better option.
[18:53] <Yaijinden> Cheat! :D
[18:54] <Yaijinden> Or, in this case, kick her training up a notch in ways that simultaneously facilitates yet frustrates.
[18:54] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Ooh....
[18:54] * Matsumi Kaze tosses Gemini a ginger ale
[18:54] * @Texas_Samurai catches and drinks
[18:56] <Yaijinden> He wants to re-hone her killer instinct.
[18:56] <Yaijinden> That's what he intends all this training to accomplish, so he says.
[18:57] <Yaijinden> If we can find a way to push her past the level where that kind of instinct is necessary to win, then we accomplish what he is asking.
[18:57] <Yaijinden> Without accomplishing what he wants.
[18:57] <@Texas_Samurai> Sounds good!
[18:58] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> If that's what he really wants. Sakura is just as capapble of winning without kiling...
[18:58] <Yaijinden> Precisely my earlier point.
[18:59] <Yaijinden> This may not be a test for her as much as it is a test for -us-.
[18:59] <@Texas_Samurai> Whut, t' see how we react?
[19:01] * Yaijinden nodsnods
[19:02] <Yaijinden> What we do. How we do it.
[19:03] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I don't really feel like being a part of a psychological experiment.
[19:04] <Yaijinden> :3
[19:04] <Yaijinden> I'm speculating at this point.
[19:05] <Yaijinden> But when you come at situations like this, it's always good to determine your actual objectives, as well as those of any opposition.
[19:06] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Always wise :D
[19:12] <Matsumi Kaze> hm...
[19:17] * @Texas_Samurai sips her root beer
[19:17] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Wasn't that just a ginger ale?
[19:19] <Matsumi Kaze> ....*sigh*
[19:19] <@Texas_Samurai> ...It was :O
[19:20] <Yaijinden> magiiiiick
[19:20] <Matsumi Kaze> ...I feel down
[19:21] <Yaijinden> Sing something with a little more... bounce, in it! :D
[19:21] <Matsumi Kaze> ...
[19:21] * Matsumi Kaze slaps Yai upside the hdead
[19:21] <Matsumi Kaze> *head
[19:22] <Matsumi Kaze> were you quoting lion king?
[19:22] <Celeste> The fact that you knew it was Lion King impresses me
[19:23] <Yaijinden> noooooooo :3
[19:23] <Matsumi Kaze> hate that movie
[19:23] <Celeste> Oh hold up
[19:23] <Celeste> stop the presses
[19:24] <Celeste> Get the spotlight on Matsumi.
[19:24] <Celeste> Why do you hate the Lion King?
[19:24] <Yaijinden> 8|
[19:24] <Matsumi Kaze> I find it irritating
[19:24] <Matsumi Kaze> not fun
[19:25] <Celeste> That's not a reason.
[19:25] <Matsumi Kaze> ok then I have no legimitage reason to hate it and I'm being stupid
[19:26] <Celeste> Now you're putting words in my mouth.
[19:26] <Matsumi Kaze> :P
[19:26] <Matsumi Kaze> does it really matter?
[19:27] <Celeste> It is life or death.
[19:27] <Celeste> My life is hanging in the balance
[19:27] <Matsumi Kaze> honestly why should I be defending what I like or dislike
[19:27] <Matsumi Kaze> so just get that spotlight out of my face
[19:27] <Celeste> If you don't say why you dislike the lion king I will fall into the pit of hyenas
[19:27] * Matsumi Kaze is away: geez....f[BLEEP]king geez
[19:27] <Celeste> and I will not be prepared.
[19:28] <Celeste> Hmmmm
[19:29] <Celeste> "Was that over the top?" she asked herself introspectively. Then she asked "Does it really matter?"
[19:29] * Matsumi Kaze is back
[19:29] <Matsumi Kaze> not really I guess
[19:30] <Celeste> And then she shrugged and was on her way back to other things.
[19:31] <Yaijinden> On that note, I've places to be!
[19:31] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah'll be back. Gonn amke some food. Thanks her talkin' Mister Yai.
[19:31] <Celeste> Have fun, darling.
[19:31] <@Texas_Samurai> ^fer

[19:31] <Celeste> I'll see you when I do.
[19:31] * @Texas_Samurai is away: food
[19:31] <Yaijinden> Yes you shall~
[19:32] <Celeste> And it'll be magical~
[19:32] <Celeste> Till then.
[19:32] * Celeste blows him a kiss
[19:32] * Yaijinden draws Celeste into an enthusiastic smooch
[19:32] <Yaijinden> Want it direct from the source
[19:32] <Yaijinden> Always better fresh
[19:32] * Celeste is far more okay with this ♡
[19:32] <Celeste> Always.
[19:33] <Celeste> Then you leave me breathless in all the best ways.
[19:34] * Yaijinden kisses her once again on the back of each hand, and steps Elsewhere
[19:34] * Yaijinden is away: ♡
[19:36] * Celeste lets out a giddy sort of sigh and steps backward until she reaches the couch and has such a grin on her face.
[19:43] * @Texas_Samurai grins
[19:43] <@Texas_Samurai> You look so dang happy :D
[19:43] <Celeste> I'm in el oh vee eeeeee
[19:43] <@Texas_Samurai> Hee~
[19:44] * Matsumi Kaze jokenly texts Subaru if she should call her great grandma now
[19:44] <Celeste> And just still asking myself "What did I do to deserve something so amazing?"
[19:45] * Kujou Subaru just texts back .
[19:45] * Matsumi Kaze texts back that she's joking
[19:45] * Shinjiro beeps. A LOT
[19:45] * Kujou Subaru gets wheeled down the stairs
[19:46] * ^ Shinjiro
[19:46] <Matsumi Kaze> oh hi there
[19:46] * Celeste leans back and settles into a nap
[19:46] * By stairs we mean the stairs you use instead of the elevator. from the 22nd floor
[19:47] <Matsumi Kaze> so...you're my great grandfather then....
[19:47] <Matsumi Kaze> on my dad's side...
[19:47] * shinjiro can't talk as subaru has rolled him out into incoming traffic
[19:48] * shinjiro manages to avoid it all beeping in terror all the way
[19:48] <Matsumi Kaze> wow...
[19:48] <Matsumi Kaze> you going to kill me too now that you know this, subaru?
[19:49] <Kujou Subaru> No.
[19:49] <Kujou Subaru> Unless you sue for child support.
[19:49] * Kujou Subaru unfolds her fan in front of her face
[19:49] <Matsumi Kaze> ...
[19:49] * Kujou Subaru is away: Subaru has spoken.
[19:49] * Matsumi Kaze texts harriet to cancel plan or subaru will kill them...
[19:50] * Harriet S. Weinberg, Esq. CANCELS THE S[BLEEP]T OUT OF IT
[19:53] <Matsumi Kaze> that...was close....
[19:53] <@Texas_Samurai> Whut was?
[19:54] <Matsumi Kaze> well...harriet and I were thinking of at first...
[19:54] <Matsumi Kaze> sueing shinjiro for child support

[21:41] <Suu> Or will you still answer to Amanda?
[21:42] <David O`Cain> Lots o' money. :P
[21:42] <Amanda Sharlan> I just have to use it in public

[22:05] <Suu> Noriko?
[22:05] <Amanda Sharlan> Sure...
[22:05] <The Actuary> Don't worry Suu
[22:05] <Eitak_Razal> Aha! I knew he wasn't here just for a freindky chat
[22:06] * The Actuary stumbles a bit, wincing, her leg is still hurting
[22:06] <The Actuary> He's just training me.
[22:06] <The Actuary> That's all.
[22:06] <@Texas_Samurai> T'DEATH!
[22:06] <The Actuary> I can handle it.
[22:06] * Eitak_Razal looks skeptical
[22:07] <The Actuary> I can beat him without becoming the monster I was.
[22:07] * Amanda Sharlan approaches Eitak
[22:07] <The Actuary> I can.
[22:07] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> But I thinks he wants the monster you were.
[22:07] * Amanda Sharlan glances at Noriko, "And I wish you the best of luck."
[22:08] * The Actuary nods back to Amanda. "Thank you."
[22:08] <@Texas_Samurai> nori, let us help...
[22:08] <The Actuary> Listen. No offense, but he would kill all of you. Father knows I'm right.
[22:09] * @Texas_Samurai looks t'X...
[22:09] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> He would.
[22:09] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> To get what he wants... he would.
[22:09] * Eitak_Razal looks over at Amanda. "It can wait. I'm not sure if its a good time to talk about it...."
[22:09] * @Texas_Samurai pales
[22:09] <@Texas_Samurai> An' Ah travelled with him fer so long...
[22:10] <Eitak_Razal> And what does he want?
[22:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Don't worry.
[22:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> He says Noriko has gone soft.
[22:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> That if she was the same Actuary who first came here, things like Suthers and Prometheus would never have even grown.
[22:10] <The Actuary> Tch.
[22:11] <Eitak_Razal> .....
[22:11] * The Actuary looks at her hands
[22:11] <Eitak_Razal> I don't think that
[22:11] * Amanda Sharlan frowns
[22:12] <The Actuary> Still.
[22:12] <The Actuary> He was my mentor.
[22:12] <The Actuary> I will deal with him.
[22:12] <Matsumi Kaze> so what will you do...kitty cat
[22:12] <Amanda Sharlan> I think the way you did things was very noble, Noriko. Take that as you will, but I think you can do this without having to resort to...destructive behavior.
[22:13] * The Actuary extends her claws... but you can see one is broken off
[22:13] <The Actuary> ><
[22:13] <The Actuary> - This Cat still has claws. -
[22:14] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Yeah but even the two of us couldn't take him...
[22:14] * The Actuary frowns
[22:15] * A figure stands in the doorway, backlit by the moon
[22:15] <Eitak_Razal> Then throw a wild card
[22:15] <?> Just what I was going to say.
[22:15] <Matsumi Kaze> ???
[22:15] * the figure extends an arm with a fist ready for bumping

[22:16] <The Actuary> Paisley... that's just...
[22:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mad? Insane?
[22:17] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte grins
[22:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Let's teach this uppity Time Lord Ba[BLEEP]rd some manners :3
[22:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (No offense)
[22:17] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> :P

[22:18] <The Actuary> ...What the hell, why not.
[22:18] * The Actuary fistbumps Paisely and winces, her wrist is still hurt.

[22:18] *** Thrash has left #suburbansenshi2 (*runs*)

[22:19] * David O`Cain chuckles
[22:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> First let's get you healed up.
[22:19] * Amanda Sharlan giggles
[22:19] <Vaxilan> Oh, that's not good pool, Sister of the Flame :P
[22:19] * Vaxilan lowers his cane and shoots her with a red beam of focused power, right in the heart
[22:19] <Thrash> !?
[22:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> .... No.
[22:20] <Matsumi Kaze> WHAT THE...
[22:20] <Amanda Sharlan> ...
[22:20] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte streches her hand outwards like Neo, and just bends the beam around like a snake
[22:20] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte wraps it around ehr arm
[22:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> :3
[22:20] <Vaxilan> ...
[22:20] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte Sends it SLAMMING back at him
[22:20] <David O`Cain> Daaaaamn.
[22:21] * Vaxilan smirks, he displaces the beam back in time and sends it back at PAisley a moment before she redirected it
[22:21] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte already has it around her other hand~
[22:21] <Eitak_Razal> She's good
[22:21] <Vaxilan> ...Troublesome little witch, aren't you~
[22:21] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Heheh~
[22:22] <Vaxilan> But the Sisterhood and the Time Lords have a diplomatic agreement... you wouldn't want to break that, would you?
[22:22] * Eitak_Razal looks at Vaxilan with icy cold eyes.
[22:22] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte weaves the two beams together, having slowed them down
[22:22] <Eitak_Razal> How about you just leave us all in peace and go away
[22:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh no... did I mention? I'm a Human :3
[22:22] <Vaxilan> ...
[22:23] <Eitak_Razal> WELCOME TO EARTH BUB
[22:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And you sir... are one of their covert Operatives, right~
[22:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So... disavowed and all that?
[22:23] <Vaxilan> Hah. I *AM* the CIA. they would never disavow me~
[22:23] * Amanda Sharlan walks over to Noriko
[22:24] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte wraps the beams of power around her right arm
[22:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh they will, when the story of how a human girl put you in your snotty place gets out~
[22:24] * Vaxilan is suddenly behind her
[22:25] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte 's foot was already bent back in time to meet his crotch
[22:25] <Vaxilan> Gneh.
[22:25] <The Actuary> Don't enrage him... Paisley...
[22:26] <Vaxilan> Yes, "Paisley". I've been nice until this moment. But that can change...
[22:26] <Amanda Sharlan> Noriko...please be careful.
[22:26] * Eitak_Razal is laughing hysterically
[22:26] *** Suu [FourLeafClover@clampgakuen.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi2 (Flying towards the future)
[22:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Time Lord.
[22:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You call me Pythia.
[22:26] * Vaxilan blanches at that name.
[22:26] * Eitak_Razal lowers the laughter down to a giggle, while Save the Queen appears in her belt silently
[22:27] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte turns and straightens his lapel
[22:27] <Amanda Sharlan> I'm afraid I can't help you tonight...but if you need me...please let me know.
[22:27] *** Pink Lion [charlotteb@abyss.net] has left #suburbansenshi2 (*sleeping on the couch*)

[22:28] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte 's hex shields smiliarly rlight up
[22:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^light
[22:28] <Amanda Sharlan> Good luck Noriko
[22:28] <@Texas_Samurai> I cain't evne tell whut's goin' on anymore...
[22:28] *** Amanda Sharlan has left #suburbansenshi2
[22:29] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> This is what fights between time Actives tend to devolve into ><
[22:29] <Eitak_Razal> They're useing temporal ablities to try and one up each other
[22:29] <The Actuary> It becomes a question of who's better at fencing
[22:29] <Eitak_Razal> It's utterly hilarious to watch if you can follow it. Rather sad too
[22:30] <David O`Cain> Meh.
[22:30] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte and Vaxilan just have more and more explosions going on around them with no visible signs of combat
[22:30] <Vaxilan> This is pointless.
[22:30] <Vaxilan> I'm only here to set my pupil straight.
[22:31] <Vaxilan> Though you could do well witht he CIA
[22:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hah! I would never be a dog of Gallifrey.
[22:31] <Eitak_Razal> It's called growth of charcter.
[22:31] <Eitak_Razal> And based on this fight just now. I'd say you probably havne't had that in at least 100 years
[22:31] <Vaxilan> You mean "A waste of resources."
[22:32] <Vaxilan> I'm holding back.
[22:32] <@Texas_Samurai> Vaxy, why don't you let her retire?
[22:32] <Vaxilan> Miss Sunrise.
[22:32] <Vaxilan> She is the one who will replace me.
[22:32] <Vaxilan> And besides...
[22:33] <Vaxilan> Do you think she could ever retire?
[22:33] <Vaxilan> Go back to Expel and raise bunnies?
[22:33] <Vaxilan> She tried that once.
[22:33] <Eitak_Razal> People change
[22:33] <The Actuary> ....
[22:33] <Eitak_Razal> You'd see that if you looked beyond your own nose
[22:33] <Vaxilan> Oh? Ask her.
[22:33] <Vaxilan> Ask her if she still loves the game.
[22:34] <Vaxilan> When Suthers rose up with his fascism... she put on her Title once again...
[22:34] <The Actuary> ...
[22:34] <Eitak_Razal> Though she doesn't strike me as the raiseing bunnies time. Attack bunnies though is possible
[22:34] <Eitak_Razal> *type
[22:34] <The Actuary> I don't want to retire.
[22:35] <Eitak_Razal> ....
[22:35] <The Actuary> But I want to work in accordance with my conscience!
[22:35] <Vaxilan> You are a SOLDIER.
[22:35] <Thrash> so were we all :3
[22:35] <Vaxilan> Conscience must be set aside!
[22:35] * Eitak_Razal walks over and Checks Noriko's eyes. "I see no mako infuson here.
[22:36] <Thrash> and we saw how well that went
[22:36] <Vaxilan> Follow your orders, or quit.
[22:36] <Vaxilan> I will allow you the choice.
[22:36] <Vaxilan> But you can't have it both ways.
[22:36] <Thrash> or have you forgotten all about that
[22:36] <6thPhase> Then you're a pretty crappy Soldier
[22:36] * Vaxilan turns to Lord Thrash
[22:36] *** 6thPhase [TheTemptress@MP.Com] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:36] <@spiritflame> konbanwa 6thphase
[22:37] <6thPhase> A Soldier that blindly follows orders a fool
[22:37] <Vaxilan> If The Doctor had done his job when I asked him to...
[22:37] <6thPhase> The person who gives the orders without considering this is a bigger fool
[22:37] <Vaxilan> Everything would have been FINE.
[22:37] <Vaxilan> Am I not right, Lady Actuary?
[22:37] * 6thPhase is wearing her ShinRa MP uniform, sans the helmet
[22:37] <Thrash> try saying that to the 15 other time lords who were PURGED by our wonderious lord rassilon
[22:38] <Vaxilan> Rassilon would not have been needed had everything been done when it was supposed to have been!
[22:38] <Thrash> oh COME NOW...
[22:38] <Vaxilan> One weak link.
[22:38] <Thrash> do you think it would have solved itself that easily!?
[22:38] <Vaxilan> One ",oment of conscience" by the Doctor
[22:39] <Vaxilan> Yes. The Daleks... and Davros, would have been destroyed!
[22:39] <Vaxilan> Instead we nearly lost EVERYTHING.
[22:39] <Eitak_Razal> It was karma
[22:39] <Eitak_Razal> Karma for being jackasses
[22:39] <Vaxilan> Says the Time Tot.
[22:39] <Eitak_Razal> The moment you lock away compassion, you set yourself up for such events
[22:40] <Eitak_Razal> I'm not a real time active. I never have been.
[22:40] <Eitak_Razal> But I'm the ruler of a planet
[22:40] <Vaxilan> Yes, Yes, Negative Terra 3400.
[22:40] <Eitak_Razal> And I know a fool when I see one
[22:40] <Vaxilan> So do I~
[22:40] <Eitak_Razal> And there is one talking to me right now
[22:40] * Vaxilan looks right at Eitak
[22:41] * something scurries away from the room at a fast pace...
[22:41] * Vaxilan takes his leave for now
[22:41] * The Actuary looks at her hands
[22:41] <The Actuary> I don't want to quit.
[22:41] <The Actuary> I can do GOOD.
[22:41] *** ??? has left #suburbansenshi2 (misson accomplished)
[22:42] <Eitak_Razal> Then do good
[22:42] <Eitak_Razal> You don't have to be like him. He's a fool
[22:44] <The Actuary> I can't walk away from him... he's my teacher.
[22:44] <Thrash> Noriko
[22:44] <The Actuary> And my superior.
[22:44] <The Actuary> Yes, Thrash?
[22:44] <6thPhase> He's not a very good boss then
[22:44] <Thrash> ever heard of King Juan Carlos 1 of Spain?
[22:44] <The Actuary> Can't say I have.
[22:45] <Thrash> interesting man...
[22:45] <The Actuary> Macha, he thinks of me as a personal... failure on his part.
[22:45] <Thrash> was hand picked by the dicitator Franscico Franco
[22:45] <Thrash> and why was that?
[22:45] <Thrash> because he kissed his butt and followed his every whim..
[22:45] <Thrash> and..feeling secure..Franco named him as his successor after he died..
[22:46] <Thrash> now..wasn't it a surprise to Franco's supporters...that as soon as Juan Carlos took power...he brought in democracy...
[22:46] <Thrash> ...and changed the rules
[22:46] * Thrash looks to Noriko
[22:46] <The Actuary> ....
[22:46] <The Actuary> What a fascinating man indeed~
[22:46] <Thrash> very
[22:47] * The Actuary squares her shoulders and narrows her eyes
[22:47] <The Actuary> Paisley...
[22:47] <The Actuary> I'll need some of that Morbius Lotion.
[22:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Right.
[22:47] <6thPhase> Then he's an even worse boss.
[22:48] <The Actuary> Sakura...
[22:48] <@Sakura Xadium Aino> Yeah?
[22:48] * 6thPhase is away: He'd never make SOLDIER
[22:48] <Thrash> after all.....
[22:48] <The Actuary> I have an idea.
[22:48] <Eitak_Razal> Also, Paisley, when you have a moment can we talk?
[22:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Go rest, Noriko. I;ll talk to her.
[22:50] *** The Actuary [nsx@tokyo.japan.unit.org] has left #suburbansenshi2 (Sakura ;et)

[22:51] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> How can I help, Eitak?
[22:51] <Eitak_Razal> Well it's nothing important that can't wait...
[22:52] <Eitak_Razal> But I was thinking about what you said the other day, when I collapsed due to the time Vortex...
[22:52] *** Thrash has left #suburbansenshi2 (if you can't beat them...join them..and change the rules :3)

[22:53] <@spiritflame> konbanwa joanna smithson
[22:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If you can sense it, you can reject it.
[22:53] * Joanna Smithson walks in, yawning...
[22:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It just takes effort.
[22:53] <David O`Cain> Hey, Joanna.
[22:53] <Eitak_Razal> Yes. I've tried the sages way of doing things and it doesn't work for me
[22:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Your temporal senses are "on" all the time it seems...
[22:54] <Eitak_Razal> Yes
[22:54] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte thinks...
[22:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> give me a moment.
[22:54] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte whips her finger around in a quick series of complex circles and lines, etching glowing golden lines in the ground
[22:55] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte thene begins to incant using the "motormouth" skill Noriko taught her, incanting block transfer computations at high speed
[22:55] * a series of small black cubes rise from the circle, which contracts in diameter as they do
[22:56] <Joanna Smithson> what's up
[22:56] * the small cubes coalesce into one large one about the size of a Rubix Cube
[22:56] * a small red button extrudes from one side
[22:57] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte stops incanting and takes the box. A cube-mass sized hole in the lobby floor starts to fill in.
[22:57] <David O`Cain> Something. Not sure what, though.
[22:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This is a containment cube.
[22:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Inside is a direct opening to the time vortex.
[22:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> In its current state, it completely shields the energies of the vortex from the holder
[22:58] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte gives it to Eitak
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hold this
[22:59] * Eitak_Razal takes it.
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Okay, now press the red button.
[22:59] * Eitak_Razal presses it.
[22:59] * Now Eitak should feel a very slight buzz, nothing harmful
[23:00] <Eitak_Razal> Ok. But how does this help me?
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You have just reduced the shielding by a fraction.
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now, you walk around with this, until you no longer feel the buzz.
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> When you don't, press the button again.
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That lowers the shield a bit more.
[23:00] <Eitak_Razal> So basicly the plan is building up resitance slowly until I'm immune?
[23:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You'll feel a buzz again.
[23:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Exactly.
[23:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> When the cube goes transaprent and you can see the vortex inside... and not feel pain, you're set.
[23:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Take care to only press the button when you're ready.
[23:02] <Eitak_Razal> Will it still work if it's the holding space in my sleeves or do I need to keep it physically on me?
[23:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It has to be on you.
[23:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The holding space will distort the effect.
[23:03] <Eitak_Razal> Right. I'll have to get something to keep it in then. Thank you.
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And for god's sake don't crack it open <_<
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No problem :)
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm doing this as much for me as for you.
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Unlike Time Lords I don't use machines to interact with Time.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So I need to be able to cut loose.
[23:04] * Eitak_Razal nods
[23:08] <Eitak_Razal> Thank you...
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No problem :)
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm glad I can help!

[23:38] * Matsumi Kaze and Joanna growl at each other....each other's spirit power starting to build......and boil around them
[23:38] * Matsumi Kaze 's spirit power comes off like a green flame
[23:39] * Joanna Smithson 's is more of a swirling blue wave
[23:39] <Eitak_Razal> Chill before you two bring the hotel down
[23:41] * Joanna Smithson and Matsumi both look at Eitak "YOU STAY OUT OF THIS"
[23:41] <Eitak_Razal> .....
[23:41] <MusicArtisan> ^_^ Nope, i just was very selective of who I was sleeping with, Eitak
[23:42] * Eitak_Razal leaps off her crystal and kicks it at their heads
[23:42] * MusicArtisan hands a white rose to each of the two fighting sisters
[23:42] * Joanna Smithson and Matsumi both turn..and PUNCHES the crystal at the same time
[23:42] <MusicArtisan> Trade roses and apologize to each other for yelling, girls~ Do you want to wake Lottie and have her come down here with Leon? ^_^
[23:44] * Eitak_Razal 's crystal ball bounces about the room...
[23:45] * Joanna Smithson and Matsumi both still look pissed.....their energies still showing up
[23:45] * MusicArtisan puts a hand on Joanna's and Matsumi's shoulders and grins at them very sweetly
[23:45] <David O`Cain> Um, Jack? You sure you wanna do that?
[23:45] <Joanna Smithson> ...........
[23:45] <Matsumi Kaze> ........
[23:45] <MusicArtisan> IF the two of you insist on bringing the hotel down....I might do you two a favor

[01:29] * The Actuary paces the lobby, fully healed
[01:29] <The Actuary> If I let him drag this out, more people will be dragged in.
[01:29] <Thrash> mmhm...
[01:29] <The Actuary> He's probably watching everything.
[01:29] * Thrash is working on the severed head of a Quark
[01:30] <The Actuary> Hello, Thrash.
[01:30] <Thrash> hello
[01:30] <The Actuary> Why now. Why now why now Why now.
[01:30] <Thrash> talking to yourself again?
[01:30] <Thrash> sign of insanity they say
[01:31] <The Actuary> What is it about now that compels him to come calling.
[01:31] <The Actuary> He wants me to be his successor?
[01:31] <Thrash> perhaps something is coming
[01:32] <The Actuary> Battering me? Killing me?
[01:32] * The Actuary paces faster.
[01:32] <Thrash> you're going to pace a hole in that floor
[01:32] * Thrash keeps working on the robot head...
[01:32] <Thrash> come on work...
[01:33] <The Actuary> Trying to determine my approach...
[01:33] <Vaxilan> Old you wouldn't have been so contemplative~
[01:33] <Thrash> mmhm
[01:33] * Vaxilan smiles tautly
[01:33] * Thrash activates it "AH...there we go"
[01:34] * Vaxilan watches what Lord Thrash is doing
[01:34] <Quark> ♦ p....power...acti..vated
[01:34] <Thrash> alright.....do you recongize me...
[01:34] * Thrash looks at the Quark head
[01:35] <Quark> ♦ .....you are...the freedomgiver
[01:35] <Vaxilan> Mmm~?
[01:35] <Thrash> yes you little metal midget..I'm the one who gave your whole species freedom of thought....
[01:36] <Vaxilan> So that was your fault, eh~?
[01:36] <Thrash> a slight oversight on my part
[01:37] <Thrash> now tell me...you little thing....why am I picking up Quark transmissions in the Varian sector...
[01:38] <Quark> ♦ ..war quark..program....V-Omega...activate...self destruct....self destruct
[01:38] <Vaxilan> Hmph. The Apple fell quite far from the tree.
[01:38] <Thrash> nonononononono!
[01:38] * Thrash throws the Quark across the room...where it explodes into bits
[01:38] * Vaxilan walks over and produces a hexagonal ball
[01:38] <Thrash> ...I didn't totally reprogramm them
[01:38] * Vaxilan opens it up and collects the parts inside
[01:39] * Vaxilan sela sup the ball, causing it to dematerialize.
[01:39] <Thrash> I just gave them the ability to think for themselves
[01:39] <Thrash> nothing more
[01:39] <Thrash> I hoped the rest would come naturally
[01:39] <Vaxilan> Yes, I'm sending that evidence back to the High Council.
[01:39] <The Actuary> ...
[01:40] <Thrash> .....
[01:40] <Vaxilan> Really, Lady Actuary, letting a loose cannon run around like that.
[01:41] <The Actuary> ...
[01:41] <The Actuary> Yes.
[01:41] <The Actuary> He serves a valued purpose.
[01:42] <The Actuary> It is all within the scope of my Estimation.
[01:42] <Vaxilan> You say that far too casually.
[01:42] <Vaxilan> Time Sages... that Sister of the Flame...
[01:43] <Vaxilan> All random elements.
[01:43] * Vainamoinen listens to the conversation, sitting in the tree
[01:43] <Vaxilan> Lord Thrash. Lord Xadium. Lady Blyledge. Nails that should have been hammered down. Secured.
[01:44] <Vainamoinen> :3
[01:44] <The Actuary> ....Really.
[01:44] <Vaxilan> You're not doing your job.
[01:44] <Vaxilan> And you won't leave it.
[01:45] <Vaxilan> So I will just have to remove you from your post.
[01:45] <The Actuary> ...
[01:45] <Vaxilan> Unless you reform.
[01:45] <Thrash> well...I can certainly solve one problem...
[01:45] *** Vaxilan [@#$@Q$@#$Q@#] has left #suburbansenshi2 (You have 24 hours to give me your answer. Will you yield, or conform?)
[01:46] * Thrash walks into his TARDIS
[01:46] * Thrash takes off
[01:46] *** Thrash has left #suburbansenshi2
[01:46] * Vainamoinen snickers a little
[01:48] <The Actuary> You find this amusing?
[01:48] <Vainamoinen> you time travelers are amusing
[01:48] <Vainamoinen> you argue over so many trival matters
[01:49] <The Actuary> Trivial to you. :P
[01:50] <Vainamoinen> what do you think the higher courts think of all this..hm?
[01:50] <The Actuary> What, you mean you Eternals?
[01:50] <Vainamoinen> :3....eternals..guardians....
[01:51] <Vainamoinen> the three unspeakable names
[01:52] <The Actuary> I suppose it means nothing.
[01:52] <Vainamoinen> the question is...
[01:53] <Vainamoinen> in this meaningless little battle...what will you do?
[01:53] * The Actuary leans on a wall.
[01:53] <Vainamoinen> you better be careful...before your little friend has a temper tantrum
[01:53] <The Actuary> My little friend?
[01:54] <Vainamoinen> whatever his name was
[01:54] <The Actuary> You mean Lord Vaxillan?
[01:55] <Vainamoinen> mmhm
[01:55] <The Actuary> He was my teacher.
[01:55] <The Actuary> Is my teacher, still.
[01:55] <Vainamoinen> and what has he taught you?
[01:56] <Vainamoinen> to be efficant?
[01:56] <Vainamoinen> to be....harsh
[01:56] <Vainamoinen> to bring......now what was it....order?
[01:56] <The Actuary> ...................
[01:56] <The Actuary> You make me sound like...
[01:56] <Vainamoinen> think about it...
[01:56] <Vainamoinen> if he takes over
[01:56] <The Actuary> Suthers...
[01:57] <Vainamoinen> do you think the people in this place will stand for it?
[01:57] <Vainamoinen> or will they rebel?
[01:57] <The Actuary> He would do his best to sweep them away of they tried.
[01:57] <The Actuary> ^if
[01:57] <Vainamoinen> do you think that would stop them?
[01:58] <The Actuary> No... but he would do... unspeakable things.
[01:58] <Vainamoinen> and you would let this happen?
[01:58] * The Actuary thinks of the smiling faces of her friends and family...
[01:58] <The Actuary> - Of course not -
[02:00] <Vainamoinen> this is your story
[02:00] <The Actuary> But I have this feeling... he's going to force me to become like him in order to defeat him.
[02:00] <Vainamoinen> whither you know it or not
[02:00] <The Actuary> My... story?
[02:01] <Vainamoinen> a story which has been woven...and a story which you need to end
[02:01] <Vainamoinen> one way or another :3
[02:01] <The Actuary> ....
[02:01] * The Actuary ponders those words
[02:02] * Vainamoinen hops down
[02:02] <Vainamoinen> and I hope you choose well...after all
[02:02] <The Actuary> Thank you.
[02:02] * Vainamoinen gets really close to Noriko's face
[02:03] <Vainamoinen> if things get too much..I may get involved :3
[02:03] * The Actuary does her best not to step back
[02:03] * Vainamoinen briefly lets Noriko see hir true self through her eyes....
[02:03] <The Actuary> I won't let things get that far.
[02:03] <Vainamoinen> goodnight :3
[02:03] <The Actuary> O_O
[02:04] <The Actuary> goodnight
[02:04] *** Vainamoinen has left #suburbansenshi2 (*vanishes*)
[02:06] * The Actuary knocks three times on one wall
[02:06] * hexfields surround one corner of the lobby
[02:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's clear.
[02:08] <The Actuary> Thanks.
[02:10] <The Actuary> Do I become a monster....
[02:10] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte chuckles
[02:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That's not even in the cards.
[02:10] <The Actuary> What do you mean?
[02:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Maybe there was one day when you could've just flipped a switch.
[02:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> When you were cold enough.
[02:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But then you saved Yaijinden.
[02:12] <The Actuary> I only saved him for her.
[02:12] <The Actuary> My sister loved him like a relative.
[02:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And you loved your sister.
[02:13] * The Actuary nods softly
[02:15] <The Actuary> At this risk of sounding racist... You're way more human now.
[02:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^
[02:15] <The Actuary> Heh.
[02:15] <The Actuary> It's odd. I don't belong in this world.
[02:16] <The Actuary> You were brought into existence to fill the void I left.
[02:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That was Sakura April's idea, yes.
[02:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But no person is an interchangeable part, are they?
[02:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Not at all.
[02:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And you do belong here.
[02:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Your mother may have abandoned you, but your sister and father and friends love you still.
[02:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And as long as that's the case, you bloody well do belong.
[02:18] * The Actuary smiles
[02:19] <The Actuary> For once I'm not sure what to do.
[02:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well what would "old you" do?
[02:19] <The Actuary> Kill him.
[02:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That's out, then.
[02:20] <The Actuary> But, how do you beat someone like that?
[02:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I dunno, I was doing very well~
[02:20] <The Actuary> Yes, but he would start attacking the things you love rather than you.
[02:22] <The Actuary> and if I wanted to beat you... I'd just start many fires at once. Your weakness is your need to concentrate and incant.
[02:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hmmm~
[02:28] <Eitak_Razal> Then send multible people at him
[02:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So... Ninegate versus this guy.
[02:28] * Eitak_Razal is sitting on her cyrstal ball, listening
[02:28] <Eitak_Razal> Or Hazel....
[02:28] <The Actuary> I'd rather face herm to be honest.
[02:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No, Eitak has the right idea~
[02:28] <The Actuary> Wait what
[02:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Why not?
[02:29] <The Actuary> Because they'll BOTH send this place to hell for their amusement!
[02:29] <The Actuary> I'd rather just deal with the devil I know please ><
[02:30] <Eitak_Razal> The more wild cards you send at him, the more you keep a guy like this off ballance
[02:30] <Eitak_Razal> So... people that are unpredicatle but we know we can trust
[02:30] <Eitak_Razal> And people he has little intel on
[02:30] <The Actuary> Well we can't trust her. And I really don't want others getting hurt.
[02:32] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm guessing the "Sakura April Heads-on-Pikes Gambit" won't work on him?
