<FireFly_9> I find it very disturbing that one of the costumes is entitled the "gentlemen's package".


welcome to #suburbansenshi2

[19:47] <D. Kakaku> hmmmmm
[19:47] <D. Kakaku> (( I claim this log in the name of those that make this site great, you're all great people! ))
[19:48] <D. Kakaku> tiny holes.
[19:48] * D. Kakaku starts to take off his shoes and put on his suit.
[19:51] * D. Kakaku tries pulling the coconut raft to a place out of the water and yet nearby the resort.
[19:52] <The coconuts> on the string are all cut in half, with the little holes, of varied size, in slightly different places in each one. The whole thing weighs very little, and is easily pulled by D.Kakaku
[19:52] <The coconuts> /occ 9_9
[19:53] * The coconuts and the raft aren't going anywhere now that they have been pulled onto the beach.
[19:54] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[19:54] * D. Kakaku places his shoes onto the raft.
[19:59] * D. Kakaku continues looking at the coconuts tied to the raft, trying to make a decision.
[20:37] * D. Kakaku twists the dial on his watch and shrinks to a tiiiiiiny little size on the raft.
[22:52] * Mercurius Shin [Resort] bites down on a pill and immediatly muscles up..and SLAMS apart several fish people
[23:00] <Mercurius Shin> [Resort] - RAAAAAAAARGH -
[23:14] * The raft is eventually reached by the tiny D.Kakaku who can climb upon it and the coconut shells.
[23:15] * D. Kakaku starts to climb onto the raft.
[23:16] *** The raft is notable in having been assembled totally out of rustic materials, though there is one plastic bottle, with a mostly-sealed top, being used as a float in the center.
[23:17] * The raft also, upon really really close examination by a small person, can be seen to have been designed to break apart as parts of it became wet, so it wouldn't be dragged down into the water, and would sail as fast as possible.
[23:18] <D. Kakaku> hmmm, interesting.
[23:20] * D. Kakaku continues his climbing of the raft, looking at how it is, andnotes the bottle as well.
[23:20] * D. Kakaku is, how small by the way?
[23:20] *** It looks like there might have been other bottles attached to this thing in order to help it catch the wind.
[23:21] *** D.Kakaku is, for sure, small enough to crawl underneath a coconut shell on the sand.
[23:23] <D. Kakaku> heh, wow, a lot of bottles
[23:23] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ 1 mm ]
[23:24] *** The bottles are gone now, only 2-3 of their caps remained tied to the "raft."
[23:25] <The raft > There are, on the other hand, at least 25 coconut shells, cut precisely in half, strung from the center of the raft, with extra attention paid to ensure that they didn't fall off. They are the one thing NOT designed to fall away.
[23:25] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] continues climbing, abd is getting close to those coconuts, and takes a look at one of the caps.
[23:27] *** the caps are from totally random, common products. One of the coconut shells tied to the line, though, has incredibly detailed carvings that are discernable from this distance.
[23:28] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] nods at the caps, but then sees the coconuts and moves closer to the shell with the carving.
[23:32] <The raft > Every single coconut shell is cut into a precise hemisphere, and bottom of this coconut shell is divided, incredibly painstakingly, by lines that run laterally along the underside of the shell, as well as a series of evenly-spaced lines going between two antipodal points on the edge of the coconut shell.
[23:32] *** Every single coconut shell is cut into a precise hemisphere, and bottom of this coconut shell is divided, incredibly painstakingly, by lines that run laterally along the underside of the shell, as well as a series of evenly-spaced lines going between two antipodal points on the edge of the coconut shell
[23:33] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] takes a look at it before deciding to climb the coconut.
[23:33] *** the holes look familiar to D.Kakaku at this size and angle, actually.
[23:34] *** The holes on the underside of the coconut seem to form patterns that D.Kakaku has seen somewhere before.
[23:35] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] hmmm? could this be? oh yeah, those small holes. and that patern, I saw them before, but where?
[23:47] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] starts climbing the inside of the coconut.
[23:48] *** this is potentially possible, by wedging yourself inside the carved lines and using them like a rock chimney. Such would bypass the very smooth interior of the coconut shell.
[23:48] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] does that, then checks to see how small these holes are compared to him.
[23:50] *** D.Kakaku can fit part of his body into some of these holes, but even he is too large to fit through most of them. There are, perhaps, 4-7 of the holes that are wide enough for him to fit through, and they are on different parts of the shell.
[23:51] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] hmmmm
[23:51] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] gets ready to turn the dial, is one o those 4 to 7 holes near him?
[23:53] <spiritflame> The raft rolls 2d6 [ 5, 3 ]
[23:53] *** there is exactly one of them near him.
[23:54] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] goes to look at it, but keeps the idea of the tiny ones on stand by.
[23:55] *** This hole must have been made with significant force by a person who wasn't in a hurry, in order to punch a tiny hole through a coconut shell like this.
[23:56] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] peers inside.
[23:57] *** There's nothing on the other side of the hole but the beach, and sand, if looking down from the top, or the twinkling light of stars in the sky if you look through from the bottom. It's a hole.
[23:58] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] hmm, let's check the tiny holes then, shall we.
[23:59] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] starts climbing back to the holes that were tiny to him, and starts twisting the dial again.
[23:59] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ 750 microns. ]
[00:03] *** You are able to fit through the tiniest holes now. They don't go below a certain size. They seem to be layed out in some kind of pattern between the lines that D.Kakaku has seen many times before.
[00:04] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] slips inside one of them.
[00:04] <D. Kakaku> [750 microns.] I know I saw the pattern, but which one?
[00:06] *** D.Kakaku goes underneath the coconut shell.
[00:06] <D. Kakaku> [750 microns.] huh, woahhhh
[00:07] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] looks around bit, how far under is he?
[00:08] *** Probably just underneath it, but if he were to lose his grip on the shell, he'd fall "far" down into the sand below.
[00:10] *** What does D. Kakaku do now?
[00:11] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] me iss amazed at the ingenuity and lets go a bit.
[00:12] <D. Kakaku> [750 microns.] so much went into huh? woah woah!
[00:13] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] tries gripping again.
[00:13] *** Do you allow yourself to fall? (It *probably* won't hurt, you are too small to fall fast)
[00:16] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] looks around the inside of the shell from where he is, if these were tied to a raft, surely there's a string around?
[00:16] *** There is a string, indeed, at the very center of the shell. It is run through each coconut, in sequence.
[00:17] *** you'd have to climb around to reach the string to, and then climb that down (or over to the next coconut shell)
[00:18] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] lets go and falls towards the string.
[00:18] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] will have to jump is the string isn't on the sand.
[00:19] *** The very end of the string is on the sand, yes.
[00:20] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] falls towards it.
[00:20] *** at your size, you can follow the twine down like a small flight of stairs. This is cordage, not exactly string, so it's various fibers twisted together.
[00:22] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] decides to climb the string by following the twine down or up or whichever way.
[00:22] *** You reach the ground, and the dome of the coconut shell rises above your head.
[00:24] <D. Kakaku> [750 microns.] Wow, I wonder, if this is attached to the raft, will I have to go up on it?
[00:24] *** It's dark under the coconut shell, but a star's light shines through one of the holes... and then another one... and then another one.
[00:26] <D. Kakaku> [750 microns.] pretty nice under here
[00:26] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] starts going up on the twine, like an upwards flight of stairs.
[00:27] *** After you stay underneath the coconut for a couple of minutes, your eyes open up, and the resort lights are visible through the holes in the top of the coconut. They look EXACTLY like the stars in the sky.
[00:28] <D. Kakaku> [750 microns.] Woah, are these supposed to be... constellations?
[00:29] *** The holes in the shell of this coconut, from underneath, look just like constellations, yes.
[00:31] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] takes a few pictures of this wonderful sight.
[00:33] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] starts climbing the twine afterwards.
[00:36] *** D.Kakaku soon reaches the top of the twine. The next coconut in the line has the holes in it the same size, but SLIGHTLY different positions, than the first coconut shell on the string.
[00:36] <D. Kakaku> [750 microns.] hmmm.
[00:37] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] keeps climbing the twine, wondering what the next one is.
[00:38] *** The next coconut shell has the same holes indicating star positions, but they have moved slightly compared to the one before it.
[00:40] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] takes some pics as he continues climbing the twine.
[00:41] *** The next coconut has slightly shifted positions, and the next does as well, and the next, and the next...
[00:42] *** Eventually, D.Kakaku has to balance along the twine as it goes back and forth between different coconut shells, but the view is much the same. Bigger holes seem to be where bigger stars appear in the sky, and each coconut shell has them shifted slightly.
[00:43] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] keeps on going in a loop of taking pictures and climbing twine.
[00:45] *** Eventually, D.Kakaku manages to reach the end of the string through the exhaustively carved coconut shells. Each one has holes in them that are the same spot as the stars in the sky, though they don't match the stars visible tonight at the beach resort.
[00:47] <D. Kakaku> [750 microns.] whew.
[00:48] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] starts looking around again from where he is at.
[00:49] *** It looks like you have all the information here, which might explain why things are washing up on the shore. Whoever made this raft wanted to make sure that this string of carved coconut shells could drift as far as possible on the sea.
[00:50] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] nods, but where is he now after the last coconut?
[00:53] *** D.Kakaku has climbed off of the raft now. He's found everything there is to discover.
[00:55] * D. Kakaku [750 microns.] grows himself back to normal and collects his shoes.
[00:55] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ beach ]
[00:55] * D. Kakaku is away 
[08:31] *** the tower starts to glow dark red
[08:41] * Joanna Smithson [Beach] looks outside and frowns
[08:41] * Joanna Smithson has moved to: [ Resort ]
[08:42] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] .......OH NO
[08:42] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] ..oh no
[08:45] * Hachi doesn't notice the glowing tower as she is fast asleep on her bed in her resort room, arm draped over the curvaceous body of one of the bartenders.
[08:46] * LadyAlice notices a dark red light filtering in through the thick jungle forest where she went to find one of the mysterious artifacts she had found during one of her many escapades into exploring the depths of the island and wonders if she's hallucinating again.
[08:49] * Delilah Inochi looks outside...looking uneasy
[08:57] * Hachi doesn't notice the bartender slip away and leave the room / suite she's in.
[08:58] * Hachi rolls over on her bed with an audible snort.
[09:10] * Delilah Inochi grimaces
[14:28] * Sailor Europa is once again outside in the thick of the fray, fighting against the never ending hordes of fish monster creatures.
[14:29] <Sailor Europa> (This is definitely a great way to get back into shape.)
[14:33] <Sailor Europa> ♦ Freezing Gattling Piercer!
[14:33] * Sailor Europa takes out several enemies at once with her a.o.e. fiery ice bolts!
[14:33] * Sailor Europa is starting to enjoy the fight. It's exhausting but easy enough.
[14:35] * Sailor Europa wipes her brow with the back of her gloved hand at the momentary lull in the fighting. She looks over at the pulsating, dark red light emanating from the tower in the water off the shore of the resort.
[14:36] * Sailor Europa gets distracted by her Aunt Alice as she older, immortal woman battles with both a gaggle of fish monsters and a high level demon she accidentally summoned.
[14:37] * Sailor Europa snickers as she counterattacks against a surprise attack by a fish monster, defeating it with a simple ice blast. She watches out of the corner of her eye as Alice takes down the whole group in a catastrophic explosion.
[14:38] * Sailor Europa coughs on the smoke before it clears, revealing Alice standing amongst charred fish guts and bones and seashells.
[14:38] * Sailor Europa shakes her head, mildly amused, and focuses on the enemies coming towards her.
[14:38] <Sailor Europa> (Great practice. Kiya would be so proud.)
[14:38] * Sailor Europa is away 
[17:49] *** the sea water has been replaced by a thick red substance..mouths and tenticles and limbs are growing from it..screetching out obscene eldrich languages
[18:02] <@Sailor Quinox> oh god that's foul...
[18:09] *** THINGS crawl out of the substance..not fishmen..just..something worse
[18:09] <@Sailor Quinox> OH GOD NO
[19:07] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] DON'T JUST STAND THERE..FIGHT
[19:11] *** Suddenly, there's a THUD in the distance, and you feel it through the sand. It's a footfall!
[19:11] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] is trying to cast spells but her pregnancy is making things difficult
[19:12] *** Followed by another thud. And another. And another! Something is coming from deeper INLAND and moving outwards towards the beach.
[19:15] * @Sailor Quinox tries to blast several of the monsters
[19:15] *** A klaxon rings out from behind the defenders. It's a DEEP, LONG roar, like a combination of a Kaiju shriek and a clarion trumpet.
[19:16] * Haru E [Resort] is using the multiple eyes across her body to fire off beams at the monsters!!
[19:16] <~>




[19:17] *** THE IMPERIAL GUARD HAS ARRIVED IN STRENGTH. And they've brought TITANS

[19:20] * Sailor Skaldi has grown to massive size and STOMPS on one of the creatures
[19:20] * Pinako , Daniel Kano, and Katrina are transformed to fight off the oncoming armies from the SEA!
[19:20] * ~ Thousands more Guardsmen from the Federation surge forward, supporting and protecting dozens of mages and War-locks as they proceed to unleash psychic powers and magical energies upon the eldritch abominations. And since they've come FROM Algol, they're already battle-hardened veterans against teh Eldritch!
[19:22] *** Cresside, you've got THESE moving up to protect your flanks.
[19:22] *** the red sky opens up......revealing MASSIVE amounts of eyes...
[19:22] *** Correction Cressida...THESE!

[19:24] *** several red oozing tenticles shoot out to try and grab at the others
[19:25] * Rapi [Beach] and the others let the bullets RIP! Time for those tendrils to get CLIPPED!
[19:25] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] has a karninan naginata and is working on chopping any tentacles that get close
[19:26] *** Dozens of Ghost Fox Astartes and Sororitas, all armed with chainswords and bolt pistols, wade into battle, hacking apart anything and everything in their path. What they don't slide and rend to shreds, they purify with holy FIRE!!!!!!!!!!
[19:27] <Cadia AI> Commence bombardment! Continuous barrage!
[19:28] * The TITAN KIT tries to convert at least one or two of the fishmen to Fluffyism!
[19:28] *** the creatures crawling out are no longer fish people...they're warped and twisted creatures
[19:29] * Cadia AI coordinates with several artillery companies now set up deeper within the Island. Hundreds of Basilisk artillery cannons begin to fire over and over into the water offshore, the shells detonating in the water several hundred feet from shore. Anything crawling through the water will have to endure the firestorm of 200mm artillery shells.
[19:31] <@Sailor Quinox> what the hell are these things!
[19:32] * Cadia AI starts laughing as she climbs to the top of a structure overlooking the battle and starts...T-POSING?!?!?
[19:33] *** an unearthly sound PIERCES through the brain of almost everyone on the beach
[19:33] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] GAAAAH ><
[19:33] *** A moment later squadron after squadron of Vulture gunships soar overhead and behind laying down a continual barrage of missile and cannon fire onto the monstrous horde.
[19:34] * ~ The Psykers and Warlocks of the Imperial Guard immediately start throwing up wide-area psychic barriers and protection spells in an attempt to protect everyone.
[19:37] *** the entire area is replaced by a black void..other then the giant red tower
[19:37] <Cadia AI> Oh? It's approaching me now? Instead of running away, it comes right to me? :D
[19:37] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] holds the sides of her head in pain

[19:39] * D. Kakaku [15 Years Later] is holding down the fort inside the resort.
[19:39] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[19:39] *** the sounds howl and twirl...in a language only spoken by the old ones
[19:39] <Cadia AI> Ooooh, I've looked forward to doing direct battle with a foe of this magnitude! It shall be a battle worthy of Solar-sama's praise!

[19:44] * Alldrogis Valkyvida draws his Singularity Blade. "What's the current status of the defending forces?"
[19:44] *** ...is that Dark Souls Boss Music starting to play?
[19:45] * Brickfist is STILL enjoying himself immensely, having completely IGNORED the effects of the Eldritch Shriek and the brain-twisting effects of the language. He's an ORK, they don't care about Old Ones since they can be KRUMPED just like anything else!!

[19:59] * golD_lux [Battle] dodges and weaves to make her way to the base of the creature while it's distracted by the others
[19:59] * Brickfist seems to be trying to INSPIRE everyone...in a weird, convoluted way that ONLY makes sense to an Ork.
[20:00] * golD_lux [Battle] ... starts punching herself
[20:00] * Alldrogis Valkyvida charges after Cressida, intent on assisting her.
[20:00] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> ...What exactly are you doing?

[20:02] * Alldrogis Valkyvida rears back and STRIKES her with the Singularity Blade. On contact, the null-grav field that encases the pure neutronium blade of the sword DEACTIVATES for a picosecond...and Cressida is STRUCK by a BILLION tons of pure inertia.

[20:12] <golD_lux> [Battle] ...I told her to take a break damn it
[20:13] * Cadia AI scans the battle from orbit. Does she still have direct line-of-sight from space?
[20:13] <D. Kakaku> how does she get charged up like a battery?
[20:13] <golD_lux> [Battle] She would need Sailor Senshi to send her their planet power
[20:13] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Resort, Scene of battle ]
[20:13] <golD_lux> [Battle] It's fine, we got this, she already opened Da Wey
[20:13] <D. Kakaku> [Resort, Scene of battle] alright
[20:14] * golD_lux [Battle] points to the wound on the creature
[20:14] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Speaking of recharging, do you require more power?
[20:15] <golD_lux> [Battle] Not yet...
[20:15] <golD_lux> [Battle] I think we need all your titans and forces to hit that thing in its wound time-on-target
[20:16] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Give the word.
[20:17] * Alldrogis Valkyvida uses his Inquisitor rank to assume DIRECT control of the Imperial Guard forces.
[20:17] <Lusca> [Resort] ♦ From what I remember Paisley mentioning, we need to erase both body and heart. If we can rip that thing open that should help accomplish both tasks.
[20:17] <golD_lux> [Battle] OKAY GUYS ON MY MARK....

[20:29] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> >:D
[20:29] * golD_lux [Battle] is rapid-fire railing it with powerful plasma punches
[20:30] * Alldrogis Valkyvida crouches down and unfurls his wings, ready to rocket into the air to strike at Narisa's core directly.
[20:31] *** the creature's core...cracks......and bleeds..and sprays..............
[20:32] <golD_lux> [Battle] (Oh god not the ichor bukkake)
[20:32] * Alldrogis Valkyvida LEAPS into the air, flaps his wings, and immediately accelerates as the gravitic-motors imbedded within activate.
[20:33] * Alldrogis Valkyvida angles into a power-dive towards Narisa's core, preparing the Singularity Blade to strike.
[20:34] * Narisa [Reborn] tries to hit them with another power blast...but it's power is weakening badly
[20:34] <golD_lux> [Battle] He can't keep it up! He's almost spent!!
[20:35] <golD_lux> [Battle] LET'S FINISH HIM!!
[20:35] * Alldrogis Valkyvida just powers through the blasts, trusting his Conversion Field and nano-armor to absorb the damage.
[20:35] * Lusca [Resort] uses her tendrils to keep Narisa held. Griselda readies a weapon she had her brother create.... and LEAPS to assist Alldrogis in cracking that core wide-open!!
[20:35] * golD_lux [Battle] ducks and rolls to dodge the splurts of power
[20:35] * Alldrogis Valkyvida STRIKES a two-handed blow onto Narisa with the Singularity Blade, with the strike point being the open wound!
[20:36] * Sailor Quinox, Triton and The Royals attack at the same time..........
[20:39] *** as the finale attacks hit, the core SHATTERS
[20:39] * Narisa [Reborn] ROAAAAAAAARS as it's mass is consumed in a black shadow
[20:40] <golD_lux> [Battle] Did we do it...?
[20:40] * golD_lux [Battle] drops to one knee, leakign sweat
[20:40] *** the black shadow suddenly turns into bright silver.......and then BURSTS
[20:41] <golD_lux> [Battle] GAH!
[20:42] *** the void vanishes...revealing the island once again.....everything is bright and quiet........there is no tower anymore..no fishmen..........just a small body laying face down in the surf
[20:42] <golD_lux> [Battle] ...what's that?
[20:44] * Ibaraki-Douji [Beach] ventures closer to investigate.
[20:44] *** the body groans and sits up..........it's a girl..who looks exactly like chibi-usa..except her hair is black, her skin is tanned..and she has three red eyes
[20:45] <???> uggggggggh....
[20:45] <golD_lux> [Battle] ...whaaaaaa
[20:46] * Alldrogis Valkyvida approaches the girl
[20:46] <Ibaraki-Douji> [Beach] .......uhhhh, Chibi-Usa, did you ever have a twin sister or something?
[20:46] *** DETECTIVE Chibiusa has moved back to the Atrium
[20:46] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Huh?
[20:46] * ??? blinks..then widens her eyes and gets up, trying to make a growling noise and hold her hands out
[20:46] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa tiredly walks over to see who this is
[20:47] * Alldrogis Valkyvida draws an M-270 Slayer pistol and aims it at the girl's head.
[20:47] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa takes her hands
[20:47] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> HALT. Make no further moves.
[20:47] <???> DO NOT TOUCH ME..I AM THE DEVOURER..THE TERROR...THE DESTROY OF KINGDOMS
[20:47] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> What's this? You got candy?
[20:47] <???> .....
[20:47] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Why are you cosplaying me
[20:47] <???> WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY TENTICLES
[20:47] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...
[20:47] <???> they're all..soft and tiny
[20:47] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> <_<
[20:47] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> >_>
[20:47] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> ...
[20:47] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> No no I never dated you
[20:47] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> It wasn't me
[20:48] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa is pretty sure?
[20:48] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Identify yourself. Who are you?
[20:48] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...I think you shot your load
[20:48] <???> I'M TINY
[20:48] <golD_lux> [Battle] ...what's happening right now
[20:48] <???> I AM THE DESTROYER, THE RAGER OF KINGDOMS
[20:48] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> B[BLEEP]ch what?
[20:48] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> You're the perfect height!
[20:48] <???> I, NARISA OF DARKNESS WILL SMITE YOU
[20:48] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> You're as tall as I am!
[20:49] * ??? weakly karate chops Chibi-usa on the head
[20:49] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa shoves a Snickers Bar in her mouth
[20:49] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> here
[20:49] * ??? is now known as Narisa
[20:49] <Narisa> [Reborn] MMPH
[20:49] * Alldrogis Valkyvida snickers as well
[20:49] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> you sound like you need a Snickers™
[20:49] <Narisa> [Reborn] ..mmh?
[20:49] <Narisa> [Reborn] ...MMMMMM *___*
[20:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> You're not yourself when you're hungry?
[20:49] <Ibaraki-Douji> [Beach] Usually people are grumpy when they're hungry.
[20:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Better?
[20:49] * Someone hands Chibiusa that sweet sweet Sponsor Ca$h
[20:50] * Alldrogis Valkyvida has seen those commercials.
[20:50] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> awe yeah
[20:50] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Feeling better?
[20:50] * Alldrogis Valkyvida holsters his pistol, sensing it's no longer needed.
[20:51] <Narisa> [Reborn] you will be spared!
[20:51] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa slaps her back
[20:51] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> That
[20:51] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> That's the way!
[20:52] * Narisa [Reborn] is suddenly grabbed by the back!
[20:52] <Narisa> [Reborn] O_O
[20:52] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa points to the resort
[20:52] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Huh?
[20:52] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa looks to see what's happening
[20:52] <Kahale> OH LOOK
[20:52] <Kahale> A NEW EMPLOYEE
[20:52] <Narisa> [Reborn] u-unhand me!!!!
[20:52] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> YAY!
[20:53] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> YOU CAN HAVE FUN AT THE RESORT NOW
[20:53] * Alldrogis Valkyvida looks at Kahale.
[20:53] *** Kahale is your average everyday Kahale

[20:53] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> HAVE YOU HAD THE ICE CREAM
[20:53] * Lusca is now known as Haru E
[20:53] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I trust she won't be causing us any more problems now?
[20:53] * Kahale starts to drag Narisa away..who perks up at the sound of ice cream!
[20:53] <Haru E> [Resort] ....y'know, I just realized.
[20:53] <golD_lux> [Battle] ....that's the cutest Eldritch Horror I've ever seen since Pharaoh 95
[20:54] <Haru E> [Resort] Dunno if this question was answered already, but what is Kahale in relation to Chateaux? Distant relative? Sister? Daughter?
[20:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Protecting Ema and Kae] I don't think it's that straightforward
[20:55] *** a DING sound can be heard in the distance
[20:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Protecting Ema and Kae] I think she's... an equal equivalent...
[20:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Protecting Ema and Kae] ... or maybe it is?
[20:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Protecting Ema and Kae] /mnove
[20:55] *** @Paisley Pythia Peinforte has moved back to the Atrium
[20:55] <Kahale> OH!
[20:56] * Kahale runs over
[20:56] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte wakes up Ema
[20:56] <Det. Ema Skye> [Knocked the f[BLEEP]k out] Oh god my head... why... Paise...
[20:56] <Kahale> IT SEEMS THE DOOR TO YOUR LOVELY HOME IS ALMOST REPAIRED
[20:56] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Because if you stared at an Eldritch horror your brain would fry.
[20:56] <Det. Ema Skye> [Knocked the f[BLEEP]k out] ...fair.
[20:56] *** Det. Ema Skye has moved back to the Atrium
[20:56] <Haru E> [Resort] Sweet. (Betting Chat's gonna be intrigued once she learns about this.)
[20:56] * Glass ball washes up on the beach.
[20:57] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Really? When will it be repaired by?
[20:57] * Det. Ema Skye checks out the ball
[20:57] * D. Kakaku [Resort, Scene of battle] walks outside
[20:58] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Resort ]
[20:58] <Kahale> THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
[20:58] <Kahale> THEN YOU CAN ALL GO HOME
[20:58] * Glass ball , on careful examination, actually turns out to be a very unusually shaped glass jar.
[20:58] <D. Kakaku> [Resort] what is that?
[20:58] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Guess the tropical vacation is almost over.
[20:58] <Det. Ema Skye> A jar of some kind
[20:58] * Det. Ema Skye takes out her magnifying glass and looks at it
[20:59] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...I wonder what's been going on in Tokyo whilst we've all been away.
[20:59] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I trust that the Federation's work here is done?
[20:59] * Paise gets some sweet foreshadowing money $$
[20:59] * Glass jar has bubbles suggesting it has been hand-blown. It's stoppered around a bit of wood, and there's something folded up inside of it.
[21:00] <golD_lux> [Battle] I think so, thanks, Alldrogis :)
[21:00] * golD_lux has moved to: [ ]
[21:00] *** golD_lux has moved back to the Atrium
[21:00] * Det. Ema Skye carefully removes the stopper and tries to extract the message
[21:01] * Alldrogis Valkyvida gives the order for all Federation forces, including the Ghost Foxes and the Titan Legions, to withdraw.
[21:01] <Aika AI> Hmmm...
[21:02] <Aika AI> I think I shall remain here for a little while.
[21:02] <Aika AI> I suspect that my main body could benefit from an opportunity to resupply and perform necessary maintenance.
[21:04] *** there are a set of incredibly tiny and fine scratches on the glass jar. The stopper, however, has been wedged inside incredibly effectively. It's REALLY hard to pull out.
[21:05] <Det. Ema Skye> Ugh...
[21:05] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Lemme help! I'm good with things that don't want to pull out!
[21:05] <Det. Ema Skye> ¬_¬
[21:05] <Det. Ema Skye> I liked it better when I really couldn't understand what you were saying
[21:06] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa takes the jar and starts fighting with the stopper
[21:06] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Don't break it
[21:06] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> <_<
[21:06] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa puts away the hammer
[21:06] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa uses her fingers
[21:07] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> It's in there so deep!
[21:07] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Hnnggh!!! HRRRGGGGHH!!!
[21:07] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> UNNNNFFFFF!!!
[21:07] <golD_lux> ....
[21:08] * golD_lux snatches the flask from her and gently WHACKS the bottom of the glass to try and break any vaccum seal that might have formed ocver time
[21:08] * golD_lux tries to pull out the stopper
[21:09] <D. Kakaku> [Resort] can I see?
[21:09] *** The stopper was actually bigger than the flask, but it's no matter. It's not as strong as Cressida.
[21:09] <golD_lux> Sure
[21:09] <golD_lux> Oop! I think I got it
[21:09] *** (just slightly bigger, microscopically, not comically)
[21:09] * D. Kakaku [Resort] takes a look at the flask, and even at the stopper.
[21:09] *** Inside the small jar is a folded up bit of torn cloth.
[21:09] * golD_lux shakes the flask to get the note out
[21:09] <D. Kakaku> [Resort] huh?
[21:09] *** The flask has tiny scratches on it like D.Kakaku saw last night.
[21:10] * golD_lux sees it's cloth and unfurls it
[21:10] *** The cloth falls out.
[21:10] *** The cloth is a map.
[21:10] <Det. Ema Skye> What's it... oh, wow! A map, you guys!
[21:10] <D. Kakaku> [Resort] scratching on the flask like those coconuts.
[21:10] *** The map seems to be of a tiny island, or at least what could be, crudely drawn in charcoal and other natural inks.
[21:10] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> oh s[BLEEP]t let's see
[21:10] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> ...I don't think it's this island
[21:11] * Det. Ema Skye tries to see if she can recognize it
[21:13] * D. Kakaku [Resort] looks at the pulled out stopper.
[21:13] *** There are many islands in the world, and this one seems unfamiliar.
[21:13] *** There's now an enhanced Oberon-class battleship parked in orbit over Tokyo.
[21:14] <Det. Ema Skye> And of course the 'net is out so we can't check on what this island might be
[21:14] * Det. Ema Skye uses CSI Vision™ to see if there's any signs of other hidden messages or information
[21:14] <@spiritflame> ATTENTION: Cadia AI is already registered. Check your password or enter a new name.
[21:14] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> I see you putting on the goggles! What're you detecting?
[21:15] <Cadia AI> Oh?
[21:15] <Det. Ema Skye> I don't know yet, I'm looking for clues
[21:15] <Cadia AI> Does Buckey need some help finding out about a place on the planet?
[21:15] <Cadia AI> :D
[21:15] *** The stopper is a bit of cut wood, with abrasians on it, roughly cut. The chips on the glasses are roughly distributed along the coconut, and some are exactly half as deep. There's no fingerprints, or flaw. It's extremely precisely done.
[21:15] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This island is in a connectivity dead zone.
[21:16] <Cadia AI> Not with ME around! :D
[21:16] * Cadia AI connects up with her main body and offers to scan that island on the map
[21:16] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You'd be surprised. Something extremely powerful is blocking thing like comms and transport.
[21:17] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's something akin to the same systems that hide the HOTEL.
[21:17] <Det. Ema Skye> This is precision work...
[21:17] <Det. Ema Skye> Which is odd, considering the crude nature of the map
[21:17] <D. Kakaku> [beach] yup, like those coconuts last night
[21:18] <Det. Ema Skye> You'd think it would be done to a similar level of precision
[21:18] <Det. Ema Skye> What coconuts last night?
[21:18] *** This glass jar seems to be coated in something toxic.
[21:18] * Det. Ema Skye wasn't there for whatever Daniel's talking about
[21:18] *** this would explain why it's not covered in marine life.
[21:19] <D. Kakaku> [beach] oh, there was a raft with coconuts that washed ashore lst night
[21:19] *** of note, there is no language on the map. At all. No words, no letters, no numbers.
[21:19] * Det. Ema Skye smells something odd and quickly puts the bottle down. She pulls out some chemistry materials from her bag and swabs her hands, running a test to see what the substance she smelled was
[21:19] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> What if it's in invisible ink, boss?
[21:19] <Det. Ema Skye> Try putting it near a heat source
[21:20] <Det. Ema Skye> Near. Don't burn it.
[21:20] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Right!
[21:20] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa lights a stick and moves the map around near the flame to see if anything shows up
[21:21] *** The substances is a mixture of treated copper and creosote. Nothing industrial to be seen. There's also no invisible ink either. It's a map made without words on it. The notches in the side of the glass ball do twinkle in the firelight, though.
[21:22] <D. Kakaku> [beach] hmmm twinkling?
[21:22] * Det. Ema Skye is satisfied she hasn't been poisoned and cleans her hands with a sanitary IPA wipe
[21:23] <Det. Ema Skye> Chibs, move the light over here, maybe there's something etched in the glass
[21:23] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Right, boss!
[21:23] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa moves the flame a bit closer to the twinkling and looks with her magnifying glass
[21:24] *** the notches are roughly symmetrical, but all on one hemisphere of the globe.
[21:25] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> They're like... all on one side
[21:25] *** There's also one, and only one, flatter place on the sphere, where it can sit on something flat without rolling away.
[21:25] * Det. Ema Skye looks to see if they're evenly distributed
[21:25] * Det. Ema Skye places the sphere so it can sit
[21:26] <Det. Ema Skye> I Wonder if the map has to be used in conjunction with these lines
[21:26] <D. Kakaku> [beach] hmmm
[21:26] <Det. Ema Skye> Look to see if there's any markings on the map that might suggest a way to line it up
[21:26] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> k
[21:27] *** The map of the island is almost the same size as the ball, once it is unfolded.
[21:27] * D. Kakaku [beach] shows the picutres he wook last night of the inside of the coconut.
[21:27] <golD_lux> Maybe it's meant to be stretched out on a sphere
[21:27] * D. Kakaku [beach] *took
[21:27] * Det. Ema Skye tries that, laying the map on the glass
[21:29] <D. Kakaku> [beach] looks like it's etched the same as the coconuts.
[21:29] *** The lines are warped when laid this way, suggesting that the sphere doesn't go under the map, but you can see that there are faint lines in the charcoal drawing that line up with a few of the scratches.
[21:29] <D. Kakaku> [beach] hello?
[21:30] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Maybe it goes in the jar? So you can line it up better?
[21:30] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes, daneil?
[21:30] <D. Kakaku> [beach] anyways, I did take a few pictures of what was in the inside of those coconuts.
[21:30] <golD_lux> Err we would need to fill the jar with something to prop up the map wouldn't we?
[21:30] * Det. Ema Skye works on doing that
[21:31] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So where were these cocouts, Daniel?
[21:31] * D. Kakaku [beach] points to where he dragged them last night
[21:31] *** Well, to be clear, what Daniel said isn't quite true. The COCONUTS had holes in them, and scratches that were evenly spaced. These scratches look to be in a very complicated pattern, if it is a pattern at all.
[21:32] <D. Kakaku> [beach] I dragged them over there while everyone was still fighting.
[21:32] *** The coconuts are still there, assuming no ill fate has befallen them during the battle. They are strung on a long line of cordage, atop a crude raft made of wood, empty plastic bottles, and more coconuts.
[21:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So we have a raft and a map, but who was the creator of all this...?
[21:33] * Det. Ema Skye has a gut feeling there has to be a pattern somewhere and a key to this map
[21:33] * Det. Ema Skye checks both sides of the map cloth for anything
[21:34] *** the back of the map, in the corner, has a simple diagram: a round object on top of a flat object.
[21:34] <Det. Ema Skye> <_<
[21:34] * Det. Ema Skye smacks her forehead
[21:35] <Det. Ema Skye> I should know better after all these years.
[21:35] * Det. Ema Skye puts the map on a flat surface then puts the sphere flat side down on it.
[21:35] * Det. Ema Skye now checks for correlations
[21:35] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Haw Haw!
[21:36] * Det. Ema Skye gives Chibiusa the finger
[21:36] <Det. Ema Skye> Let that be a lesson, my trainee, always check all sides of the evidence for clues.
[21:36] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Right!
[21:36] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa SALUTES
[21:37] <D. Kakaku> [beach] oh and these pictures were taken from inside of the coconuts.
[21:38] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Good work
[21:38] *** The map now sits directly beneath the glass globe, with a line on the map correlating to the single line across the glass ball. When done this way, the notches all line up on two sides of the island... and there are... a lot of types of notches, with at least a dozen, maybe 13, different lengths.
[21:39] * Det. Ema Skye snaps a picture of that for later
[21:40] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa copies the map and the lines into the sand with a stick and tries making lines from the notches across the map to see if they connect or something
[21:41] <D. Kakaku> [beach] and those light have one thing in common.
[21:41] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And what's that?
[21:41] <D. Kakaku> [beach] look up at the night sky.
[21:42] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte does
[21:42] <D. Kakaku> [beach] what do you see?
[21:42] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> stars
[21:43] <D. Kakaku> [beach] yes, and what to groups of them form?
[21:43] <D. Kakaku> [beach] *do
[21:43] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte feels like she's being addressed as a child
[21:43] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...constellations, sir.
[21:44] <D. Kakaku> [beach] exactly, the holes in the coconut, line up with the constellations.
[21:44] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...what, exactly?
[21:45] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That rather implies the coconut was carved here? Or somewhere where the stars lined up exactly the same way?
[21:45] <D. Kakaku> [beach] the latter
[21:46] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So we'd need to plot out all those places and then search for the island amongst that area.
[21:46] <D. Kakaku> [beach] because each coconut I went through, each has almost the same pattern.
[21:46] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ..almost?
[21:46] <D. Kakaku> [beach] yeah, that's my guess
[21:46] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So they differ.
[21:46] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Maybe like a log of travels?
[21:46] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> A new carving at every stop?
[21:47] <D. Kakaku> [beach] yes.
[21:48] * Det. Ema Skye was listening to all the conversations
[21:48] <D. Kakaku> [beach] big holes for big stars and tiny holes for the smaller ones
[21:48] <Det. Ema Skye> ...With all these clues when we make it back to civilization we can take a stab at trying to track down this island.
[21:49] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Which I think is two days unless someone has a world map and astronomical map to hand
[21:49] <D. Kakaku> [beach] ewll, relatively big, they were all tiny holes frrom here
[21:53] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well we can take this all with us when we're able to head back
[21:55] * Det. Ema Skye checks to see if Chibiusa's idea of ttracing the map and notches in the sand and drawing lines from the notches over the map yielded any insights
[21:59] <Sair Raft> (( AFK ))
[22:06] <golD_lux> Excited to go home, guys?
[22:07] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yeah.
[22:07] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] ...I am tired..yes
[22:07] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] actually looks more pregnant since she came to the island
[22:07] <Det. Ema Skye> Yes and no...
[22:08] <Det. Ema Skye> I just know work is gonna be insane when I get back
[22:08] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> Hey but now you have a trained sidekick!
[22:08] <Det. Ema Skye> That's true!
[22:08] * Det. Ema Skye kneels slightly and gives her a high five
[22:08] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> yeah!
[22:11] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] goes to sit on a bench ><
[22:12] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte has moved to: [ Resort ]
[22:12] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] sits near Kae
[22:12] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] You all right, Kae?
[22:13] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] I feel exausted
[22:14] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] I'm not surprised, you're carrying a passenger.
[22:14] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] And it's been a crazy few days.
[22:14] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...
[22:15] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] You realise you're basically a mech right now, yeah/
[22:15] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] The foetus is your pilot.
[22:16] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] just looks at paisley
[22:17] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] hope you never have to experience this, mum
[22:17] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...
[22:17] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] suddenly looks very sad, but only for an instant
[22:17] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] ?
[22:17] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Shut it, Mechwarrior
[22:17] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] laughs
[22:17] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Want some ice cream?
[22:19] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] yes please
[22:19] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] I'm starving
[22:20] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] gets some for her and her pilot
[22:23] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] CHOWS DOWN
[22:24] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] smiles watching her eat
[22:24] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] chuckles to herself
[22:26] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] (I can't believe how easily I genuinely smile these days)
[22:29] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] is licking the ice cream like an animal
[22:32] * Matsumi Kaze [resort] walks out with the twins, letting them looking up at the starry sky
[22:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] /m leans on kae a bit
[22:33] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] are you alright?
[22:34] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Yeah just appreciating my fam~
[22:36] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] does it feel good...to have family?
[22:36] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...I didn't think it would, but it definitely does.
[22:37] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...Seeing other people's annoying children runing about being nuisances put me off the idea but you and X and livia changed all that. (and ash).
[22:41] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] starts to snore
[22:41] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] lets her rest on her shoulder
[22:43] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] is fast asleep
[22:43] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] uses a block transfer incantation to teleport to Kae's room with her, and puts her to bed, then returns to the beach
[22:45] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] ....nice and quiet
[22:46] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] A welcome change from the last few days, certainly.
[22:54] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] How are you holding up, Matsumi?
[23:01] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] heh just glad the fight is done
[23:01] * Matsumi Kaze [resort] blinks as Himeko grabs her lips and squeezes
[23:01] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] mmphrh
[23:03] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...hehe
[23:16] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] I can only imagine the trouble she'll be as a teen
[23:17] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Bet you can't wait
[23:19] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] no!
[23:20] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] Wish i could hold them like this forever
[23:20] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] you have to treasure every moment you have a child like this!
[23:29] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] nods
[23:31] * Matsumi Kaze [resort] looks up at the stars and smiles
[23:31] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] ...I'm so damn lucky
[23:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] I know the feeling.
[23:32] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] laughs
[23:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] You may not remember this, but I first met you all on an island.
[23:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Back when The HOTEL was still The House, the back door fronted onto an island
[23:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] That's where I first appeared, having travelled across the World Tree.
[23:33] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] did we??
[23:33] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] That was... almost fourteen years ago.
[23:33] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Yeah.
[23:35] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] ...man...
[23:36] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] My life really changed that day.
[23:36] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] laughs bitterly
[23:36] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Or rather, it Started
[23:36] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] I didn't exist as a Fact until then.
[23:36] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Then history filled itself in.
[23:36] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] So bloody weird.
[23:37] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] ...I don't get it
[23:38] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] frowns
[23:38] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] It's... ridiculous.
[23:38] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] As was wont to happen, fate had decided yet again that Noriko Marianna Xadium had to die. AGAIN.
[23:38] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] This meant your lot had no healer.
[23:38] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] So Sakura April decided to fix that.
[23:39] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] ._.
[23:39] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] She dove into the World Tree and assembled my timeline whole cloth.
[23:39] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] JUST SO I COULD BE A F[BLEEP]KING HEALER.
[23:39] * Matsumi Kaze [resort] has the same blank look on her face that Minako and Usagi get ssometimes
[23:39] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ¬_¬
[23:39] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ..nevermind.
[23:39] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] huh what sorry
[23:39] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Let's just say things worked out for the best.
[23:40] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] sorry :<
[23:40] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] It's all right.
[23:40] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] grins
[23:41] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] As they say, "I've come a long way baby."
[23:45] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] heh i suppose
[23:58] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] nods and looks up at the stars
[23:59] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi2 (star watching with family)
[00:01] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte is away: Thinking of home
[08:40] * Hideki Kaze [Beach] is up early, getting the family packed while the others sleep in
[08:40] * Hideki Kaze has moved to: [ Resort ]
[09:08] * Delilah Inochi is up early and happily eating breakfest
[16:30] * Haru E [Resort] has gotten a report all nice and compiled for when she heads back home. Griselda and her girls are simply taking today to relax..... and surprisingly Ibaraki can make some rather tasty grilled fish.
[18:49] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] we should do a fireworks show tonight
[19:20] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] I second that!
[19:23] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] do we have any left over???
[19:23] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Probably, I can look around
[19:26] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] hunts round the resort for some
[19:32] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] I'll kind of miss it but..eh..have to go back to life once in awhile
[19:34] <D. Kakaku> [Resort] yup
[19:50] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] comes back with armloads of fireworks
[19:52] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] whoa what did you rob to get those?
[19:53] <D. Kakaku> [Resort] That's a lot of fireworks.
[19:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...There were a lot of storage sheds belonging to some lady named Una
[19:56] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Bombaar or something
[19:56] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] sets up the fireworks on a stand
[21:55] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] ok then!
[22:00] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Been waiting for you to set them off :)
[22:05] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] oh!
[22:05] * Joanna Smithson [Resort] reaches down and lights the fireworks and RUNS
[22:06] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] runs too!








[22:09] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] WOOT








[22:09] * The Royals and Earth Moms watch in awe




[22:10] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] That's great
[22:11] * Joanna Smithson [Resort] tries to fist bump Paisley
[22:13] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] fist bumps her!
[22:15] <Joanna Smithson> [Resort] what a way to end the run
[22:16] * Mercurius Shin [Resort] holds his daughter and watches the fireworks








[22:18] * Livia J. Peinforte [resort] runs along the beach, laughing as the fireworks illumate everything
[22:18] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...that's a big one




[22:18] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] stays near Livia to make sure she's safe








[22:21] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] looks up at the lights in the sky, well pleased that they were able to defeat an ancient evil on this island
[22:21] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] this is amazing!
[22:21] * Narisa [Reborn] is doing dishes in the resort T_T
[22:21] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Yeah I'm surprised that Una person had so many explosives all over the island.




[22:23] <Masaki O`Cain> [Resort] this is a f[BLEEP]king blast!
[22:23] *** okay I found all the GIFs I can, use your imaginations from here on out lololol
[22:23] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] walks out, watching
[22:23] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] It's a hell of a fitting sendoff
[22:30] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] do you think we'll ever return here?
[22:30] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Well now that we know it's here, and Kahale knows us, I'm sure it will be easy to.
[22:42] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] it would make a good place to get away once in awhile
[22:43] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] I agree. There's a benefit to going off-grid once in a while.
[22:53] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] enjoys the memories of the night sky
[22:58] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] is planning to share them with X when she gets back
[22:59] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] winces
[22:59] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] What's wrong, love?
[23:00] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] ..just felt a kick ><
[23:01] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Ahh
[23:01] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Your pilot is hitting the pedal, miss mecha.
[23:01] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] ..the child is growing faster then I thought it would
[23:03] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ... I wonder if it's because of the constitution of your blood.
[23:03] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] maybe...
[23:03] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte [Resort] watches the sky
[23:12] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] this was the best....if accidentl..trip we've done
[23:14] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Agreed.
[23:15] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] I could have done without the evil from the dawn of time, but it was fun.
[23:18] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] very adorable
[23:18] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] eh?
[23:18] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> [Resort] nothing.
[23:23] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] chuckles
[23:33] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] THIS IS AWESOME
[23:36] *** Mattie Aeros has joined #suburbansenshi2

[23:37] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] *cough*

[23:59] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] yeah i guess so
[23:59] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi2 (watches the night sky "i'll miss this place")
[00:00] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Same...
[00:08] <D. Kakaku> [beach] and same here
[00:09] * D. Kakaku [beach] heads to Geotgia's suite
[00:09] * D. Kakaku is away 
[00:10] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte is away: Can't wait to get home.
[00:18] * Det. Ema Skye is away: packing up her supplies and impromptu lab
[00:19] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa is away: packing up the raft and puzzle stuff
[08:19] * Hachi looks at herself in the mirror of her room in the hotel suite of the resort.
[08:19] * Hachi pokes at her waist and grimaces.
[08:19] <Hachi> (I think I ate a little too much on this vacation...)
[08:20] * Hachi sighs and rubs her face in her hands, trying to get her thoughts in order.
[08:22] <Delilah Inochi> morning, Hachi!
[08:23] * Hachi looks behind her and sees that her small suitcase is sufficiently packed with her clothes and the souvenirs she'll be bringing back for her mother and Kuroko Shirai and Kiya Lightsblade.
[08:23] * Hachi sees Delilha through the open door of her room and she smiles.
[08:23] <Hachi> Morning Onee-san.
[08:24] <Delilah Inochi> I'll be kind of sad to go!
[08:25] * Hachi leaves her room to enter the main room of the suite, wearing thin black leggings beneath a short sleeved, thigh-length, light blue spring dress with flower embroider at the hems.
[08:25] <Hachi> I know, right?
[08:25] <Hachi> All of the experiences we've had here, it was truly a paradise.
[08:25] * Hachi siiiiighs.
[08:26] <Hachi> I just hope my school will be alright with me missing the first two weeks of my last year. I'm sure Mom gave them some excuse.
[08:26] * Hachi winces a little.
[08:26] <Hachi> How upset do you think Mom'll be?
[08:26] * Delilah Inochi is wearing shorts and a tank top that is just..barely holding her back
[08:26] <Delilah Inochi> ..she might be pretty upset
[08:26] <Delilah Inochi> are you alright?
[08:27] <Hachi> Hm?
[08:27] <Hachi> Yeah! I'm good!
[08:27] <Hachi> I'm just going to miss this place a lot.
[08:27] <Hachi> Going back home...
[08:27] <Hachi> All the responsibilities will come back to us.
[08:27] <Hachi> Shouldering the weight of the world once more.
[08:27] <Hachi> Being who we are supposed to be, who we need to be, and not who we want to be.
[08:28] * Hachi has a serious, world-weary air about her.
[08:28] * Delilah Inochi hugs her sister from behind with a bounce
[08:29] * Hachi refrains from toppling over from the heavy weight on her upper back. (Ooof.)
[08:29] * Hachi lightly pats Delilha's arm.
[08:30] <Hachi> I'm sure you're dying to get back to your girlfriend, ne?
[08:30] <Delilah Inochi> you know you don't have to take it ALL on your shoulders
[08:30] <Delilah Inochi> I really miss Yasu yeah
[08:31] <Hachi> I'm not... close with my fellow Jupiter Satellite Senshi like you are with your Neptune ones. I can't rely on them.
[08:32] <Hachi> Plus, Academy City is so difficult for people to get in and out of.
[08:32] <Hachi> And I couldn't ask any of them to move there.
[08:32] <Hachi> Plus, they're all so much... older than me. They all have lives set in stone, you know?
[08:32] <Delilah Inochi> mmm..yeah
[08:32] * Hachi doesn't mention how much pride she has in the title of being the Legendary Sailor Guardian of Academy City.
[08:35] <Delilah Inochi> would it help if I visited more?
[08:36] <Hachi> Mmmm/...
[08:36] <Hachi> I ccouldn't ask you to do that.
[08:37] <Hachi> You've got University and your Magic and Ysauko-chan.
[08:37] <Hachi> Yasuko^
[08:37] <Delilah Inochi> I'm sure Non-Sempai wouldn't mind!
[08:38] <Hachi> Well, we'll see.
[08:38] * Hachi finally slips out of Delilha's heavy hug.
[08:38] <Hachi> I just hope Academy City is still standing in one piece.
[08:39] * Hachi says it in a way to try and appear like she's joking but she IS worried that something horrible has happened.
[08:40] * Delilah Inochi nods
[08:40] <Delilah Inochi> that place does attract danger!
[08:42] <Delilah Inochi> I'm sure it's alright!
[08:47] <Eilean> [Beach] hey you two..you done packing?
[08:47] * Eilean [Beach] just pokes her head into the room
[08:47] * Eilean has moved to: [ Resort ]
[08:47] <Hachi> Just about!
[08:47] <Delilah Inochi> I um...started, sis ^^;;
[08:47] <Eilean> [Resort] why can't you be more like hachi
[08:47] * Hachi gives Delilah an incredulous look.
[08:47] <Hachi> Well YOU keep packing! I'm going to stuff my fa-....
[08:47] <Hachi> ...
[08:48] <Hachi> I'm going to get a light bite to eat before we head out.
[08:48] * Hachi slips back into her room to make sure she has everything, double checking once more. She zips up her suitcase and takes it with her.
[08:51] <Eilean> [Resort] come on Delilah...let's give her some space
[08:51] <Delilah Inochi> huh yeah
[08:51] * Delilah Inochi walks over and ducks a bit under the door
[08:59] * Hachi brings her suitcase with her and heads down for her last breakfast at this beautiful paradise island resort.
[09:11] * Hachi takes her time eating her meal.
[09:12] * Matsumi Kaze [resort] sits with her family, eating breakfest
[09:16] * Hachi smiles warmly.
[09:17] <Hachi> So which of your jobs are you looking forward to getting back to the most?
[09:17] * Hachi watches Matsumi's cute baby make a mess.
[09:22] * Hachi enjoys the company of family and friends and family friends.
[09:22] <Hachi> (I'm definitely going to miss this, too, when I go back home.)
[09:44] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa and Ema and Paisley are busy finishing up their respective packing
[09:47] * D. Kakaku finishes up his packing.
[09:54] * Megan Smithson walks by, chatting with Shion
[09:57] * LadyAlice is sipping her tea, people watching.
[09:58] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] loosk very wistful but also eager to get back home
[09:58] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] bzzbzzbzz!
[10:00] * LadyAlice summons her tome and sets it on the table beside her teacup. It is quite large and stuffed with a variety of notes and various flora she took from the island for her studies.
[10:01] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] spies her with the tome and meanders over, curious.
[10:01] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] That looks interesting.
[10:01] * LadyAlice takes out a special pen and inks a title onto the cover of the tome in a glowing, red ink: Point Nemo - Island of Mystery.
[10:01] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] morning bzzbzzbzzz
[10:02] * LadyAlice looks up at Paisley and smiles as the glow subsides, her pen vanishing.
[10:02] <LadyAlice> It's a culmination of my exploration of this island and all of the events that happened.
[10:02] <LadyAlice> Or, at least, as much information as I could have provided from my viewpoint.
[10:03] <LadyAlice> Having no need for sleep, I often explored the recesses of the island in the middle of the night.
[10:03] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...Fascinating! May I take a look?
[10:03] * LadyAlice opens the tome with a flourish and flips through different pages, pointing out various points of interest and mystical artifacts and unknowns.
[10:03] <LadyAlice> Please, of course!
[10:04] * LadyAlice hands it to Paisley.
[10:04] <LadyAlice> I've got a copy of it here as it is.
[10:04] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Thank you! :D
[10:04] * LadyAlice points to her head.
[10:04] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] looks it over with her
[10:04] * LadyAlice inclines her head in a nod, her green eyes sparkling with warmth.
[10:04] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] You... really are an excellent cartographer and journaller.
[10:05] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] This easily ranks up there with some of the important historical travellouges I've read in the Peinforte Library back home.
[10:06] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...also wish I'd known about this sooner, given the helll I've had traipsing around this island hahaha
[10:06] <LadyAlice> My apologies for not being.. forthcoming with this.
[10:06] <LadyAlice> I am not the most... sociable person and I find that it is hard for others to get along with me at times.
[10:06] <LadyAlice> I even surprised myself in making this.
[10:07] <LadyAlice> I've explored Wonderland countless of times, and some of the Otherlands as well, but never thought to put to paper what I experienced.
[10:07] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Bah, as an introvert myself I completely understand, it's taken me something like fourteen years to open up to people.
[10:07] * LadyAlice nods in understanding.
[10:07] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] You ought to!
[10:07] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] You have a gift for it.
[10:08] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] There is also tremendous value in seeing the world from the perspective of someone who watches it from the outside.
[10:09] <LadyAlice> Oooh... I don't know if I should.
[10:09] <LadyAlice> Wonderland to most people, they think is a fabrication.
[10:09] * LadyAlice looks mildly uncomfortable at the idea.
[10:09] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Well, you can always couch it as fiction? It's the best way to slip in under people's prejudieces.
[10:09] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ^prejudices
[10:12] <LadyAlice> Very true!
[10:12] <LadyAlice> Perhaps I shall. It would be a good use of my time.
[10:13] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Excellent.
[10:14] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] And should you ever wish to publish your works (psudeononymously or not) I have some contacts I can reach out to.
[10:14] <LadyAlice> That is quite helpful.
[10:14] <LadyAlice> Thank you so much, Ms. Paisley.
[10:14] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] bzbzbzzzz!
[10:16] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Bah just call me Paisley.
[10:16] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] hears an odd buzzing
[10:19] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] , a bee lands on a goblet of mystery liquid, it was placed near where paisley is now.
[10:20] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] looks over at it
[10:20] <LadyAlice> And I am Alice.
[10:20] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] bzzbzbzzzzz!
[10:20] * LadyAlice smiles, feeling a kindred spirit with the woman.
[10:20] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] is slurping from the goblet.
[10:21] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] A pleasure. :)
[10:22] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Resort] likewise feels a deep similarity. Whereas Alice may have been a lonely explorer of Euri's inner mind, for a long time she was a detached explorer of the world she felt was meant only for other people to enjoy.
[10:25] * LadyAlice is away: Enjoying my time here before needing to go back to Reality. What is my life these days?
[10:26] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach] emerges from the jungle looking beat to s[BLEEP]t
[10:26] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] WHERE HAS EVERYONE BEEN?!!?!?
[10:26] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ....Did you get lost?
[10:27] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] NO! THE ISLAND SIMPLY REFUSED TO MATCH UP WITH MY RECOLLECTIONS OF IT
[10:27] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] ...you got lost.
[10:27] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] bzbzzzzzzz
[10:27] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach] 's lower lip trembles
[10:28] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] I... there was such a huge surge of evil energy the other day... but I couldn't find it
[10:28] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] It's all right, we dealt with it. You can relax.
[10:28] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] bzzzzz!
[10:28] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach] signs and sits, resting her head on the table, tired.
[10:28] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] Whatever is that annoying sound?!
[10:29] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach] looks over and sees the insect on the glass
[10:29] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] Eww.
[10:29] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Leave it, it's harmless.
[10:29] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] keeps going from the goblet until...
[10:29] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] Is that your drink it's sitting on?
[10:29] *** the goblet tumbles over with a flash coming from it
[10:29] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] No.
[10:29] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] ...
[10:29] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Owwwwww.
[10:29] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] That's new.
[10:30] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Sorry, that's my drink.
[10:30] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] bzz bzzz bzzz! :(
[10:30] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] I see...
[10:30] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] It looks like you spilled it.
[10:30] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] 's shoulder blades twitch reflexively.
[10:30] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach] waves over an attendant and gets another for her.
[10:31] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] the don't serve what I was dirnking
[10:31] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] Oh.
[10:31] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] I call it Experimental Royal Jelly 2 dot oh.
[10:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Royal Jelly? As in what bees drink?
[10:32] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] yes
[10:32] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] exactly! :D
[10:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Interesting.
[10:33] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] What made you think of that name?
[10:35] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] how I see humans referr to second versions of things as a "2 point 0"
[10:35] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Sounds fair.
[10:35] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] Well I meant the Royal Jelly name.
[10:36] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] ...Or is that literally Royal Jelly?
[10:36] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] yes! with experimental ingredients!
[10:41] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] What do the ingredients do?
[10:45] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] I've never been sure, but they are able to give us this humanoid form.
[10:45] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] So it's a transformation elixir?
[10:46] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Oh my, I've heard that one before, but if it's what it means, then yes!
[10:57] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach] That's very interesting!
[11:01] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] I know, isn't it!
[11:01] * D. Kakaku walks to the lobby of the resort
[11:06] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Oh my, here he comes!
[11:06] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach] looks over and sees Daniel
[11:06] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Resort] Ahh you were waiting for him?
[11:06] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte has moved to: [ Beach Resort ]
[11:07] * Arataka Wyldsord has moved to: [ Beach Resort ]
[11:07] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Beach Resort ]
[11:07] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Maybe.
[11:07] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] has a bit of a blush on her face.
[11:08] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] (As Lady Cressida might joke, it looks like she's been stung by the love bug.)
[11:09] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] I, well, before I saw him again here, we did meet once before.
[11:12] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Oh yeah?
[11:13] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] yes, when I guess we were children.
[11:18] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] only about a week, but it was a good week for me until a rival hive chased him o-... huh?
[11:18] * D. Kakaku [Beach Resort] is staring at her wide eyed
[11:20] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] and Arataka observe this scene
[11:21] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] Chasing... me.... by a.... So many.... No!
[11:21] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] wa-wait wait! no, I didn't mean to!
[11:22] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] (He's gone full Shatner)
[11:24] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] A whole hive's worth, chasing me throughout the campground.
[11:26] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Wait, that's not what I wanted you to remember!
[11:27] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] I wanted you to remember everything before then!
[11:27] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] (Trauma tends to be a bit more memorable I should think)
[11:31] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] grabs D. Kakaku's shoulders and shakes him
[11:32] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] come on, before then, anything before then, come onnn!
[11:37] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] I,,, .... I... I....
[11:40] * D. Kakaku [Beach Resort] sounds like he's in a mental block
[11:40] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] Paisley-dono can you help him?
[11:41] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] sighs and closes her eyes, focussing on his mind, and giving him a bit of a mental "push" to try and break the block
[11:43] *** the memories of that week are like a constant looping maze, there are many doors, but they all seem to keep getting blocked by one ever popping door.
[11:43] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] focuses on that door
[11:45] * D. Kakaku [Beach Resort] it opens and it shows a campground, circa 2002
[11:45] *** *^ it opens and it shows a campground, circa 2002
[11:46] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] tries to direct daniel's consciousness to access the memories as she is perceiving them.
[11:48] *** it shows the point of view of him going down a dirt road of the campground, there are a few trailers at various spots.
[11:49] *** the view eventually moves to him looking at a beehive.
[11:50] <Voice> ♦ that looks funny!
[11:50] *** it's not a regular sized beehive, bigger than most.
[11:51] *** There is soon a lot of buzzing coming from behind.
[11:52] *** soon, the sound is coming from all around.
[11:54] *** the view starts to back away from the hive.
[11:56] *** Bees soon enter this peripheral vision and start to chase, and they are not friendly at all.
[11:58] *** The view turns towards one nearby campsite as it shows that the person containing this view is running away.
[11:58] *** The View FLASHES to white, and then... it loops. the campground, the dirt road, the beehive, and the unfriendly chasing bees.
[11:59] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] tries to send calming thoughts to Daniel to help distance himself from the scary feelings and reassure him that he's safe and it's going to be okay.
[12:00] * D. Kakaku [Beach Resort] 's near hyperventilation begins to soften a bit.
[12:01] *** once the main body is calmed sufficently, there is a door, visible to paisley as the time slows down in the point of view, the point is the approach of the beehive.
[12:01] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] leads him to explore that as well
[12:02] *** there are six doors (technically three for exploratory reasons, the DM never did a flashback covering all seven days.
[12:03] *** the times on the doors are in a way that it goes from the day of meeting them, to the day before the scare
[12:05] *** Day 1? day 3? or day 6?
[12:06] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] was not expecting to have to QUEST here, but all right, let's go in order from Day 1 so we can get context built properly.
[12:06] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte has moved to: [ In THE MIND of Kakaku ]
[12:07] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] , from an outsider's POV just sees Paisley-dono staring off into the middle distance and Daniel-san similarly agape.
[12:09] *** in the point of view, there is a rugged man with glasses, looks like his father. he is reading a book. while it looks like D. Kakaku has shrunk, keep in mind that this was his actual height at the age of 7.
[12:09] *** *^ shrunk to about a bit over 3 feet
[12:09] * Hachi walks by, trailing behind her is the cute poolside bartender from her first hanky panky escapade on the island. Hachi's going to make the most of her last hours here!
[12:09] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] smirks to herself
[12:10] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ Dad, you said a friend was coming here, where is he?
[12:10] <Other Voice> ♦ where is She, you meant to say, Danny?
[12:11] *** some buzzing begine to be heard, but it's a light buzzing.
[12:11] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ she?! was she one of mom's friends too?
[12:11] <Other Voice> ♦ I wouldn't exactly say that, tried swatting at her every chance she got.
[12:13] *** the buzzing behind you gets slightly louder, and it's also starting to sound like audible human speech.
[12:15] <Third Voice> ♦ -nted to introduce you to an old friend of mine, I've heard he's also got a family of his own. I'm sure you two will become fast friends.
[12:17] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ but...*urp* about the jelly *urp*.
[12:17] * Beetreen's voice sounds higher pitched and more childlike, par for the course.
[12:17] <Third Voice> ♦ Oh, I'm so glad you could make it, and on your summer trip, too.
[12:18] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ *urp* That was too much experimental Royal Jelly, mother.
[12:18] <Third Voice> ♦ well, how else were we going to fit in with human society?
[12:19] *** the view turns around to two people, a girl who looks about Daniel's age, and an older looking lady that looks almost like a person, but the insect antennae might be off putting.
[12:20] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ Who's the wierdo lady?
[12:20] <Other Voice> ♦ oh, quit it, I'm sorry.
[12:20] <Third Voice> ♦ no need to apologise, it's been years., if only Soue wasn't good at swinging the bat.
[12:21] <Other Voice> ♦ oh yes, you've been stingerless all these years.
[12:21] <Third Voice> ♦ indeed, thankfully my heart wasn't located near it. I see you have your own charge as well,
[12:22] *** the young girl is patted on the back by the older lady, but she seems to be blushing in a Little crush kind of way.
[12:22] <Third Voice> ♦ introduce yourself.
[12:22] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ h-hi there
[12:23] <Other Voice> ♦ hi.
[12:23] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] does her best to keep Daniel calm though all this
[12:23] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ wh-wh- what's your name?
[12:25] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ It's Danny, Danny Kakaku! what's with the red rash on your face? are you getting sick?
[12:25] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ n-n-no, it's not that it's, it's well.
[12:26] *** the view tilts a bit, as if it's in confusion.
[12:26] <Other Voice> ♦ I think my son has a point, it sounds confusing.
[12:27] *** sounds like there was a separate conversation going on, but wasn't paid attention to. but the young girl grabs D. Kakaku's hand.
[12:28] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ Come on! Let's play!
[12:28] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ wha-wait!
[12:29] *** the girl begins to pull D. Kakaku to a nearby playground.
[12:30] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ heheheh! you're cute! *she is smiling as she says this*
[12:30] *** SYSTEM ANNOUNCE - Main Page updated with entry # 2367 - Paisley's Spring Adventure Travelogue! The Island Vacation Adventure Arc Ends!!! ***
[12:30] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ Cute? that's not what anyone says about me.
[12:33] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ aww, what do they say about you?
[12:35] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ I've heard "slow freak of nature", "smart donkey", "ugly sobber", "too distracted by shiny things".
[12:36] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ I've never heard of most of them.
[12:37] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ I just retreat to my room and watch tv when I get home because of some of the names.
[12:38] *** opens her arms and gives a hug to D. Kakaku.
[12:38] *** The young Beetreen *^
[12:39] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ if they don't want you as a friend, I'll gladly be your friend.
[12:39] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ wait, what? you want to be my friend?
[12:40] * D. Kakaku [Beach Resort] 's body is slowly breathing normally.
[12:41] *** The view is mostly uneventful aside from being on the playground and having fun with Beetreen, until the two were called to come back.
[12:42] *** though, there is an air of happiness to it.
[12:42] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] feels sad for poor Daniel but happy he found a friend
[12:43] <Other Voice> ♦ come on, Danny, it's time we headed back to camp.
[12:43] <Third Voice> ♦ come on, Beetreen, it's about to wear off on us.
[12:44] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ but I want to play with him a bit longer.
[12:44] <Third Voice> ♦ we can't, not if we want to get back in time.
[12:45] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ awww, bye Danny.
[12:45] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ see you next time, I'll fly to your camp!
[12:45] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ Fly?
[12:45] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ don't worry about it.
[12:47] *** It flashes to white, and you are soon greeted with the two remaining doors.
[12:47] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] head sfor door #2
[12:48] *** Day 3 it is.
[12:51] * Beetreen's voice is giggling,
[12:52] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ mommy has a few drones going around the country, it helps me with my educating.
[12:54] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ you should see what I learn in school form my teachers.
[12:57] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ we get news from others, too., want to see my drawing?
[12:59] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ What's your drawing?
[13:00] * Beetreen's voice shows a picture drawn in crayon, looking like a wedding with someone and a bee with no stinger.
[13:01] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ what's that, looks like a wed-ing.
[13:03] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ it is! heeheee!
[13:05] *** sounds like there's an argument in a nearby room.
[13:06] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ wed-ings are for big people, right?
[13:06] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ yeah?
[13:07] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ When we get big, I want mine to be with you!
[13:07] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ but I'm not interested in romance things.
[13:08] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ I don't mean now, but I mean, well
[13:08] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ mommy sayd people go through a stage where they become interested in romance things. it won't be now or any time soon, but I think in the future, you and I, we have to meet again :D
[13:09] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ please?
[13:09] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ mmm, fine, ok. but no romance things. too yucky.
[13:09] *** Beetreen seems to double over.
[13:09] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ Agh!
[13:10] <D. Kakaku's voice> what's wrong?
[13:10] *** the view seems to tear up.
[13:10] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ are you okay?
[13:11] <Third Voice> ♦ JUST GO!
[13:12] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ what's wrong, why is your mom yelling?
[13:12] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ Aghhh, aghhh agzzz bzzzz bzzzzzzbzzzz!
[13:13] *** the view has seen Beetreen shrink and transform into a bee.
[13:13] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ what happened to you, *hic*
[13:13] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ wahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
[13:14] *** the bee flies up and buzzes a bit.
[13:14] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ are you ok?
[13:15] *** the bee goes up and down, buzzing in affirmation, flying down to a paper, drawing on it.
[13:16] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ see- see you soon?
[13:16] *** said in a way that he sounds sad, not scared.
[13:17] *** the bee goes up and down in affirmation.
[13:17] *** The view goes to white once more.
[13:17] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] tries to help daniel hang onto that feeling of seeing the bee and not being scared
[13:19] *** one door remaining.
[13:21] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] opens it
[13:23] *** the place of the third door is a picnic at the campsite.
[13:25] *** D. Kakaku, his father, Beetreen and her mother are sitting on the other side.
[13:29] *** they appear to be eating
Burgers (the Kakakus)
Honey (the Bees)
[13:34] *** the four are eating when Beetreen pulls on his arm.
[13:34] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ huh?
[13:35] * Beetreen's voice I want to show you something.
[13:37] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ huh?
[13:38] *** the view shows her bringing him to a clearing.
[13:38] <D. Kakaku's voice> what's you want to show me?
[13:38] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ *^
[13:38] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ bzzzbzzzbzzzz! :D
[13:39] *** the view is soon populated with two other bees, one scientist and one drone. becoming human too.
[13:40] <Beetreen's voice> Bzzbzzz, bzbzbzbzzbzzzzz, Bzbzz!
[13:40] *** the two others do the buzzing language as well and Beetreen hugs D. Kakaku.
[13:41] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ can we invite you over sometime?
[13:41] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ I don't live here, though.
[13:42] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ maybe next time you get here, then? we'll have a blast at the hive?
[13:42] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ is there's something that can make u-

[13:43] <D. Kakaku's voice> eh? what?

[13:45] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ we're gonna make you a bee!
[13:45] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ that's too crazy, very crazy.
[13:46] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ awww, but it was a good idea :(
[13:46] *** the scientist man-like bee buzz languages to her.
[13:47] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ aww, I guess it wasn't meant to be that way, well then I'll have them focus on trying to keep me and mommy like this for longer! I wanna be your friend a long time, no matter what those other people say.
[13:48] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ that's, that's awe-some, I wanna stay friends with you too, ummmm, I never got your name.
[13:48] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ we never get any names, I'm just mainly "Princess" or "Queen's pupa"
[13:49] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ that's sad, how about I find a name for you? you're as bee, and there's a tree behind you, so how about... Bee-Tree?
[13:50] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ That sounds wonderful, but I want a Bzzzzz to it. BeeTreeen! It sounds better, Bzz bzz bzzzz!
[13:51] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ I want to have my mom invite you over, can I, huh?
[13:51] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ Invite over, but I've never seen your... wait a minute, is it that hive in the campground?
[13:52] *** at this point, you might have noticed one thing.
[13:52] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] ?
[13:52] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ yeah, we move it sometimes so rival hives can't hurt us.
[13:53] *** none of the bees attacking in that first memory ever came from that beehive.
[13:53] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [In THE MIND of Kakaku] (So it was the enemy chasing him, not her hive)
[13:54] <D. Kakaku's voice> ♦ Rival hives?
[13:55] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ yeah, maybe I'll see you tomorrow? I'll have someone make somethign for then.
[13:55] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ bee there around half past the second afternoon hour! bzzbzzbzzzz!
[13:55] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] psychically passes that insight to daniel
[13:57] *** Beetreen leads him back to his campsite.
[13:57] <Beetreen's voice> ♦ I want to invite him to our hive!
[13:57] <Third Voice> ♦ I, I, well, we were just discu-
[13:58] *** the voices get lower in volume as the scene fades to white.
[13:58] *** the last door closes, the door that was once perpetually blocking is now crumpled a bit, but is now right where it belongs.
[14:01] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] rival... hive... was... chasing...
[14:02] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] not the right thing to remember, but... do you remember, the playground? the drawing?
[14:03] *** there is a door that appears, that opens, leading out of his mind.
[14:04] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] dm unless there is something more you want to explore in his mind.
[14:05] *** *^
[14:20] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] thinks this is enough and helps Daniel back to conciousness
[14:25] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] is he okay?
[14:26] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] It was a rival hive.
[14:26] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] what?
[14:27] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] A Rival hive was the ones that chased me!
[14:27] * D. Kakaku [Beach Resort] is now back to full consciousness
[15:09] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Are you finally all right?
[15:09] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] I... I I, I see it now... Beetreen?
[15:11] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Yes! Yes, You remember!
[15:12] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] Hugs D. Kakaku tightly.
[16:16] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [In THE MIND of Kakaku] smiles, seeing things working out
[16:16] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte has moved to: [ Beach Resort ]
[16:20] <D. Kakaku> [beach] it's been so long, what happened?
[16:20] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Beach Resort ]
[16:21] <Beetreen Wiscon> every time I wanted to get closer when you got here, you tried avoiding me when I didn't have the jelly, but you always got scared when I tried to help you remember.
[16:44] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] wait a minute, so, what are you saying?
[17:03] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] and Paisley-dono are watching this conversation while sipping drinks, like two teenagers eager to catch the latest gossip
[17:16] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] you never saw how I would bump into you all those times before you left for japan?
[17:18] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] how would you, I mean, there was a bee that sometimes bumped into me, but would never attempt to sting me, .... wait a minute?.....
[17:18] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] hmhmmmmmm!
[17:22] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] ... That bee was you?
[17:22] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] nods
[17:23] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] I couldn't wait for a reintroduction.
[17:34] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] and now that I can reintroduce myself, bzzbzbzzzzbzbzzzz!
[17:34] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] wha-what do you mean?
[17:35] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] well, I can recreate that picture I drew when we were children.
[17:36] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] with what, everyone's packing up?
[17:43] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] I'll ask around for paper and coloring stuff.
[17:54] * Beetreen Wiscon is away: to get some art supplies
[17:54] * D. Kakaku is away: oh boy, heh
[18:49] * Matsumi Kaze [resort] sits on a suitcase, waiting
[18:50] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] , Arataka, Ema, Chibiusa and Cressida are waiting near her too
[18:51] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] this is the part I hate of any trip
[18:52] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Yeah
[18:54] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] it feels like time is dragging
[18:57] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Yeah
[18:57] *** the resort has that air of every vacation ending...
[19:03] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] has made up some shirts that say "I survived Point Nemo and all I got was this Lousy T-Shirt".
[19:04] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] passes them around
[19:07] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] hey thanks!
[19:08] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] 👍🏻
[19:08] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] ......
[19:08] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] w..what did you just do
[19:08] <Matsumi Kaze> [resort] somehow it feels like you did something I've never seen before
[19:09] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] I'm just magic ;)
[19:21] *** has joined #suburbansenshi2
[19:21] <@spiritflame> konbanwa
[19:21] *** Alldrogis Valkyvida [Inquisitor [REDACTED]@FedCom.net] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[19:21] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Alldrogis Valkyvida
[19:22] * Alldrogis Valkyvida has moved to: [ Beach Resort ]
[19:23] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Beach Resort] saunters into the main room, looking QUITE out of place as usual given his appearance.
[19:24] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Hallo~
[19:24] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Greetings to you, Mrs. Peinforte. I trust that everyone's recovered from the previous battle?
[19:25] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ... "Ms." please, it's 2024 <_<
[19:25] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] And I believe so.
[19:25] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] I don't hear artillery barrages or the warbling shrieks of Deep Ones, so that's a significant improvement.
[19:26] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] What about 2024?
[19:26] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ...Actually, "Lady" Peinforte if we're going to be technical about it.
[19:26] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Lady then.
[19:26] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] "It's 2024" means you need to get updated on forms of formal address for women.
[19:29] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Heh. I'm over 200000 years old. When you see as much as I have, the vagaries and subjective trappings of status are very much a blur to me.
[19:29] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ....fair enough!
[19:29] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] (And I thought X was old)
[19:30] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] One thing I've learned is that what's considered the "new standard" in social customs and societal norms are really just the latest fad of a current generation.
[19:31] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ...Yes. That's how culture changes.
[19:31] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] "Fads" become norms become mores.
[19:31] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Rinse and repeat.
[19:31] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Wait five to ten years and it always changes into something else entirely. Often what's considered "appropriate" now becomes "inappropriate" in a few years...then can change right back to being "appropriate".
[19:31] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Doesn't make them any less valid.
[19:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] It can, or sometimes it doesn't.
[19:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Slavery, for example, has not come back into vogue.
[19:32] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Trust me when I say this...
[19:33] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Lamenting the progress of society simply because it can sometimes backslide is whiny conservatism.
[19:33] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] ^^;
[19:33] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Take away Humans current level of technology, force them back in development 100 or so years...and some of them will invariably revert right back into stages of existence once believed to be "barbaric".
[19:33] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] "How dare the next generation think differently about my sacred cow?"
[19:34] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Yes because that's how people work. We're all different and capable of reacting differently. This is not a profound observation.
[19:34] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] ...
[19:34] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] gives Paisely-dono a Snickers bar
[19:34] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] eats
[19:35] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Sorry, as an Elder Millennial I'm rather tired of being told how my thinking is somehow wrong.
[19:35] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Olds need to comprehend the world is changing and they need to either adapt or get out of the way.
[19:36] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] Eat your Snickers, Paisley-dono.
[19:36] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] You're harsh when you don't eat your snickers.
[19:36] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] As a "multi-millennial" I've seen things you can't even imagine. Staying alive as long as I have requires a different method of thinking.
[19:38] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Well for those of us Goldfish in the audience we're going to do it our way, thanks.
[19:38] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] :/
[19:38] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] - EAT. YOUR. SNICKERS. -
[19:38] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Beach Resort] shrugs, looking a little amused.
[19:38] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] turns one hand into a fencing foil and IMPALES a snickers and presents it to Paisley
[19:39] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] O_o
[19:39] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] EATS ALREADY
[19:39] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Is that your way of getting her to shut up, Arataka?
[19:39] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Apparently so.
[19:39] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] ...I would never be so bold <_<
[19:39] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] totally would be so bold
[19:40] <golD_lux> LOL
[19:40] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] I've noticed that Lady Peinforte can be harsh at times.
[19:40] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] goes to say something and Arataka just shoves another candy bar in her mouth
[19:41] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] She doesn't mince words <_<
[19:41] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Due to her own extreme span of experience?
[19:42] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] JUMPS UP READY TO FIGHT "I'M NOT EVEN FORTY YET YOU--"
[19:42] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] shoves her back down into her seat
[19:42] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] I won't factor out her aversion to my kind, though.
[19:42] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] ...she
[19:43] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] she's sensitive about her age <_<
[19:43] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] My "aversion"? What.
[19:43] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Beach Resort] just grins a little at Paisley.
[19:43] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Explain that to me.
[19:44] * golD_lux is eating popcorn from a bucket with a s[BLEEP]t-eating grin just watching this
[19:44] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Your kind tend to view my species with something akin to instinctive apprehension, ranging up to fear.
[19:44] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa hops on her shoulder and steals some popcorn too
[19:44] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] That
[19:45] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] That's got nothing to do with this. I'm reacting to the words coming out of your mouth, and that's it.
[19:45] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Such as your sensitivity about your age?
[19:46] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ...yes?
[19:47] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Even though you're in the presence of a being upwards of 200000 years old? ^___^
[19:47] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Imagine my OWN feelings!
[19:47] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Well I'm not making fun of you for being super-ancient, am I :P
[19:47] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Normally, my kind typically live for about 2000 years.
[19:48] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] At least...we used to.
[19:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Until the Schism happened and everything went crazy.
[19:49] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] listens
[19:51] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] The Preservers are still more along the lines of baseline Allodons, but the Exterminators became something else entirely. After tens of thousands of years I still haven't fully comprehended them.
[19:53] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] The Preservers have changed subtly over the course of millennial. The Exterminators...the hive intellect resists baseline change. Unfortunately, that just makes them infinitely more dangerous.
[19:54] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] The Preservers came to grudgingly respect Humans for their tenacity. The Exterminators? Dalek levels of hatred without the need to any kind of memory suppression. The Daleks themselves would be impressed.
[19:54] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] I see.
[19:55] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] But I digress.
[19:56] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] In your reactions, I was able to observe quite a bit about you, Lady Peinforte. In fact, your reactions were illuminating. I thank you for that.
[19:57] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ...You're welcome, I suppose? What have you concluded?
[19:57] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] You desire an honest analysis?
[20:00] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Sure.
[20:01] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] You're exceptionally intelligent and equally as experienced. Your magical aptitudes are unparalleled.
[20:05] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] You're rightfully proud and confident of yourself, since those abilities have enabled you to survive against some grueling enemies and situations.
[20:07] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] However, you don't like any implication that you might be deficient in some way.
[20:08] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Especially if it comes from an "outsider".
[20:08] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Beach Resort] points to himself.
[20:14] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ...I'm perfectly fine with valid criticism.
[20:15] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] I don't consider an attempt to minimise my surfacing of changed social mores as "oh It's a fad that might change back" to be valid.
[20:15] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] I consider that wooly backwards thinking.
[20:15] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Except it's true.
[20:16] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] It's sometimes true.
[20:16] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] But it's also sometimes true that changes stick.
[20:16] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] What can go one way can, under the right circumstances, reverse. I've seen it happen.
[20:17] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ....does this mean, then, that we should not strive to make the attempt to better ourselves and our attitudes?
[20:17] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] That because the possibility exists that we might backslide, that we should just give up and be our worst possible selves?
[20:17] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] I'd argue that it's better to first make certain that the definition of "better" remains fixed and not subjective.
[20:18] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] well, it's alwasy going to be subjective.
[20:18] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Those for whom "better" means losing privilege will always protest and claim change is bad.
[20:19] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Those for whom basic courtesies are finally afforded will see it as good.
[20:19] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Guard against that subjectivity. Make certain to not only know the difference between light and dark, but also to be extremely wary of the grey areas in be
[20:19] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] That's sage advice, to be sure.
[20:20] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] More than sage. I saw it happen within my OWN species.
[20:22] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Hmmm, and I just noticed something else. In our discussion, you're thinking of something else entirely from me, aren't you?
[20:22] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Possibly?
[20:22] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] What do you think I'm thinking of?
[20:24] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Likely Human social stratifications, subjective as they are. Humans seem to be important to you.
[20:24] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ...Being human myself I'd say yes. Yes they are.
[20:24] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Which is understandable. They are a remarkable species.
[20:25] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] is human, you know <_<
[20:25] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] was only trained on Karn.
[20:25] * D. Kakaku is back
[20:25] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] I'm speaking of Humans AND other species as well. Dozens. Hundreds. THOUSANDS that I've personally interacted with and observed over the span of my life.
[20:25] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] supposes she could be classed as metahuman at this point, to be fair.
[20:27] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] And yes, that will include the Eldar, the Imperium, the realm that existed before the Imperium, the Tau, the Tanar'ri, the Orks, and even the Necrons to a degree.
[20:27] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] There's a difference between one's observations of others and others' lived experiences. It's important to give weight to lived experiences over mere conjecture or philosophy in the abstract.
[20:28] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] evening, everyone.
[20:28] <golD_lux> [[It
[20:28] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] I'm an Inquisitor-Lord.

[20:29] * Beetreen Wiscon is back
[20:29] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] hands DK an "I survived Point Nemo and all I got was this Lousy T-Shirt" shirt.
[20:29] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Lived experiences hold equal weight to observations. Especially when people fall into patterns of behavior more readily than they realize.
[20:29] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] hey, this is a nice T-shirt
[20:29] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] Bzzzbzbzz! Does anyone have any brushes, paper and colors?
[20:30] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Beach Resort] offers Beetreen some paper.
[20:30] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Will this suffice?
[20:30] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] No they're not equal. The person living it is undergoing the suffering.
[20:30] <Beetreen Wiscon> [Beach Resort] for paper, yes, but I also need some coloring tools, too
[20:31] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Unfortunately, I have no coloring tools. Perhaps one of the others here can help you in that regard.
[20:32] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Lady Peinforte...haven't YOU engaged in the same mentality as mine more than once?
[20:32] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] uses a block transfer incantation to make a pack of markers for her
[20:32] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Do tell.
[20:33] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Haven't YOU held your own observations and assumptions superior to the lived experiences of others?
[20:33] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Example, please?
[20:34] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] uses the paper and markers to start remaking her masterpiece
[20:34] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Beach Resort] mimics Paisley's voice in his reply. "Olds need to comprehend the world is changing and they need to either adapt or get out of the way."
[20:35] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Yes? That's not an incorrect statement. If you find yourself reflected in that conclusion, that's on you?
[20:36] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] watches Betree-san coloring
[20:36] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Despite the changes to my physical form, I'm still an Allodon. The concept of "conquer, dominate, subjugate" is an instinct even I have to wrestle with to a degree.
[20:37] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] But you don't give in to it, do you? No. You fight it. You embrace change.
[20:37] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Even though the possibility of a reversion might exist.
[20:37] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] No...we didn't.
[20:38] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] So you can see the struggle is worth it.
[20:38] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] As a species, we conquered EVERYTHING around us once we freed ourselves from slavery at the hands of the Kree-Tur.
[20:38] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] I'm an exception in that I'm of the "Renegade" philosophy.
[20:39] <golD_lux> (Lorenzo Llamas is... )
[20:40] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] "the Renegade?"
[20:40] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] However, part of my struggle is that I don't think for a moment that I'm anything different from what I am. I'm an Allodon. Dominating everything is what we do.
[20:41] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] So you've resigned yourself?
[20:41] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] However, we of the "Renegade" philosophy dominate ourselves.
[20:41] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] (Kinky) I see.
[20:42] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] We don't try to prove that we're better than anyone. We restrain our own natures and hold ourselves back.
[20:42] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Mmm.
[20:43] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Oftentimes that means resisting change.
[20:44] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Or restraining advancement. Because we recognize that the "change" in question might lead to a new outlet for Conquest and Domination of others.
[20:45] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] If the Preservers are more the "baseline", the Exterminators are the complete absence of restraint.
[20:46] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Yes well while that might be necessary for your species, for ours, there exists a great need for structural change that backward-thinking antediluvians whose power rests solely in the prevention of change has been trying to prevent. This explains, I think, our differing philosophies.
[20:46] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Careful with that.
[20:47] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Hmm?
[20:48] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Sometimes change needs to be prevented. I was one of those "backward-thinking antediluvians" you're speaking of. I tried to fight AGAINST the Schism when it became apparent that it was coming.
[20:48] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] ...and sometimes change needs to be accelerated.
[20:49] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] And there is where caution and wisdom need to be applied.
[20:50] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Yes but there is a difference between 'caution and wisdom' and 'prevention'.
[20:51] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] And to the people who are certain that the Change is good, "caution and wisdom" is nothing but interference.
[20:52] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Because it's often used as an excuse for delay.
[20:52] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Infinite deliberation and infinite caution to infinite status quo preservation.
[20:53] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] The youth of today are less inclined to have patience with bureaucratic deliberation.
[20:53] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Those delays are sometimes not excuses at all.
[20:53] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Because it's often just a stall tactic to prevent having to change unpleasant behaviors and attitudes.
[20:53] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Sometimes.
[20:55] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] And the "Olds" you spoke so ill of were the "Youth" of their day once upon a time. Just like the youth of today will be the "Olds" of tomorrow.
[20:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Irrelevant
[20:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] One day I might be out of touch with the needs of the current day.
[20:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] In that case I fully expect to get shoved out of the way.
[20:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] And they'd be right to.
[20:56] * Beetreen Wiscon [Beach Resort] finishes up her image and shows it to everyone. (her image is better than the link looks)
[20:56] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] It's all cyclical but it is also an arc that can move forward.
[20:56] <Det. Ema Skye> Aww, that's a cute picture.
[20:56] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] No, you won't be okay with being shoved aside. Your pride won't allow it.
[20:57] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] It will, because while I have pride, I also have empathy.
[20:57] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] I've learned the hard way when to back off and step aside.
[20:58] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] That is the product of my lived experience.
[20:59] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] I may not like it but I will hopefully still have the self-awareness to accept it. And if not, I have people around me who will slap the sense into me.
[20:59] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] No, your aptitudes and your experience, combined with your exceptional intelligence, will make it impossible for you to make such a choice.
[20:59] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Now you're making assumptions.
[20:59] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Arataka had to practically CONFRONT you earlier.
[20:59] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] I look forward to proving you wrong.
[21:00] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Please do, Lady Peinforte.
[21:00] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Arataka is trying to stop the debate.
[21:00] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] ¬_¬
[21:00] <Arataka Wyldsord> [Beach Resort] This has been going on for hours.
[21:00] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] No, she was getting ready to ram that Snickers bar down your esophagus.
[21:00] * Arataka Wyldsord [Beach Resort] IS ready to do that yes
[21:01] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Beach Resort] throws up her hands in a "whatever, all right" gesture
[21:01] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] All right, I've said my bit.
[21:01] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Which YOU would have taken umbrage to, likely resulting in an extremely amusing fight scene that Cressida and Chibi-Use would have found exceedingly amusing.
[21:01] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] Time will tell.
[21:01] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Indeed.
[21:02] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] You intend to prove me wrong?
[21:02] <D. Kakaku> [Beach Resort] There's something missing in that picture.
[21:02] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] My actions will.
[21:02] * Alldrogis Valkyvida [Beach Resort] grins eagerly. "GOOD."
[21:03] * D. Kakaku [Beach Resort] makes his own edit to the picture.
[21:03] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] Making Humans prove Allodons wrong has always resulted in the most positive developments within your species.
[21:04] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> [Beach Resort] After all, I've seen it happen more times than you can imagine.
[21:05] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Beach Resort] and you shall see it again :)

[21:42] <Freya> DOES ARTEMIS KNOW?
[21:42] <@Sakura X. Aino> She was attacked! She'd come to visit me, and someone... ripped out her Moon crescent!
[21:42] <@Sakura X. Aino> Of course, he's with her right now...
[21:42] <Freya> .....
[21:42] <Freya> I'm heading over
[21:42] <Freya> where are they?
[21:42] <@Sakura X. Aino> They're keeping her stable but she's hanging on by a thread...
[21:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> Roppongi... healing haven...
[21:43] <Freya> ..............
[21:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> We tried to get her back here but there was no way...
[21:43] <Freya> ...they took her there!?
[21:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> Luckily that place was nearby
[21:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> We were attacked in Roppongi
[21:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> Too many people to get out otherwise

[21:45] <@SpeedRcrX> We couldn't think of a better name
[21:45] <Matsumi Kaze> I NEED TO GO AND HELP
[21:45] <Freya> ARE YOU INSANE
[21:45] <Matsumi Kaze> BUT....

[21:47] <@SpeedRcrX> They just showed up earlier today and starting wreaking havoc
[21:47] * Matsumi Kaze turns and is hugged tightly by Hideki
[21:47] <@SpeedRcrX> A bunch of us are out there trying to take them down, but they're using Sailor Senshi attacks
[21:47] <@SpeedRcrX> And they're like rats, they scatter
[21:47] <Matsumi Kaze> ...I want to help......>< I can't just let this...go
[21:49] <Hideki Kaze> ..Freya is right..you're needed here
[21:49] * Mizuki Aya staggers into the hotel, burnt and bleeding

[21:50] * Mizuki Aya collapses on the ground
[21:50] * D. Kakaku runs over towards Mizuki
[21:50] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mizuki?!
[21:50] <Det. Ema Skye> ..When it rains, it pours....
[21:51] // GINGA net.news FLASH // · · A state of Emergency has been declared in Tokyo and the city is on lockdown for the night. · ·
[21:51] <Hideki Kaze> .....i'm sorry, Matsumi...
[21:51] // GINGA net.news FLASH // · · Military and Special Forces have begin clearing the streets and anyone caught outside will be arrested. The curfew is expected to be lifted tomorrow morning. · ·
[21:52] <D. Kakaku> can someone open up a room for Mizuki?
[21:52] * you can see footage of the burning skytree being doused by fire teams and various heroes
[21:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> Just pick one, I've got plenty
[21:53] <D. Kakaku> and what the heck happened?
[21:53] * Mizuki Aya is completely out cold
[21:53] * Det. Ema Skye looks her over
[21:53] <Det. Ema Skye> It looks like she was beat up pretty badly
[21:54] * @Chateaux Concierge 's eyes light up and she sends out scanning beams over Mizuki
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> Traces of magical energy... no bones broken, but some deep tissue trauma...
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> She should be fine if we give her some time to rest
[21:55] <@SpeedRcrX> Sounds like a Terrible-Senshi got her
[21:55] <D. Kakaku> alright, which room should we take her to?
[21:55] <@SpeedRcrX> Maybe the EMH for now
[21:56] <D. Kakaku> ok, someone help me get her there.
[21:56] * @Chateaux Concierge teleports them to the EMH
[21:57] * Mizuki Aya has moved to: [ EMH bed ]
[21:57] * Hideki Kaze is holding Matsumi, who is trying not to cry
[21:58] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte leans on X... feeling horrible because she'd imagined a very different kind of reunion and now just feels selfish and small in the face of this
[21:58] <Det. Ema Skye> Okay... checking the police frequencies... it looks a lot worse than it is...
[21:58] <Matsumi Kaze> this is my fault..this is all my fault....
[21:59] <Det. Ema Skye> There weren't many people at the Skytree today as it was closed for maintenance
[21:59] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ EMH ]
[21:59] <Matsumi Kaze> ..if i hadn't done the beach party..if i hadn't found the island......
[21:59] <Det. Ema Skye> And... Diana and Mizuki aside thankfully there aren't many reports of casualties... no deaths but a lot of people banged up
[22:00] * D. Kakaku [EMH] is sitting on a chair, looking a bit solemn.
[22:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> I got word from Mom... Diana's stable
[22:01] <D. Kakaku> [EMH] I'll have to find out something about this, what happened? why it happened?, there's so much going on.
[22:01] * Mizuki Aya [EMH bed] is out still, but manages somehow to hold daniel's hand
[22:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> But because her moon crescent was taken, she's in a deep healing trance state
[22:02] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Why would someone take her moon crescent?
[22:02] * D. Kakaku [EMH] smiles a bit and holds her hand.
[22:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> I dunno... we were jumped by a bunch of those "Terrible-Senshi" and before I could react, they'd snatched it at ran
[22:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> ^and
[22:03] * Matsumi Kaze just sobs that it's her fault
[22:03] * @Sakura X. Aino 's hand shakes... "I can't believe how fast they were"
[22:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> It's not your fault Aunt Mats...
[22:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> None of us saw this coming...
[22:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> It was literally like a Blitzkrieg
[22:04] <@Sakura X. Aino> I couldn't give chase or get anyone to help because that's when the SkyTree went up
[22:04] <@Sakura X. Aino> And everyone's attention shifted there
[22:05] <D. Kakaku> [EMH] we'll find out what happened and who did this, if there is anything that you want me to do, let me know through anything. whether it's just as me or as Dynamaxx.
[22:05] * Mizuki Aya [EMH bed] seems to smile
[22:06] * The Emergency Medical Hologram instructs Daniel it's best to let her rest for now.
[22:07] * D. Kakaku [EMH] nods to the hologram, and holds her hand for a few seconds more, trying to guide it back to her side so he can go and let her rest.
[22:08] * Matsumi Kaze is hugged tightly by her husband
[22:10] * Mizuki Aya is away: sleeping
[22:10] * D. Kakaku [EMH] exits the room
[22:10] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[22:10] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte makes sure Livia and Kae are all right
[22:11] <D. Kakaku> I believe Mizuki'll be okay.
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> That's good
[22:13] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Are we sure Diana's in good hands at Helping Haven?
[22:13] <Freya> I feel uneasy about that place
[22:13] <D. Kakaku> hmm
[22:13] <Freya> I don't like it
[22:13] <@Sakura X. Aino> Mom's been keeping a close eye on things. She says that they've got really good care there and nothing sketch is happening.
[22:13] <@Sakura X. Aino> The only thing is it's super busy.
[22:14] <@Sakura X. Aino> It's like the entire Alien Zone goes there for care now
[22:14] <@Sakura X. Aino> And all the people in Roppongi are trying to get help from them too.
[22:14] <Freya> I wish i could check on artemis....but I am uneasy
[22:15] <Det. Ema Skye> We should wait till the travel restrictions ease up tomorrow.
[22:15] <Det. Ema Skye> I know you guys are... special but usually when these lockdowns happen the Police will work with the Alien Zone cops to counter Supers as well.
[22:16] <D. Kakaku> wait? what?
[22:16] <Det. Ema Skye> Didn't you hear the news? There's been a curfew established for the night.
[22:16] <D. Kakaku> I didn't we got teleported to the EMH.
[22:17] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm a badge so maybe I can get out there and get some intel.
[22:17] <DETECTIVE Chibiusa> What about me, boss?
[22:17] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah, you're my important partner. Let's go.
[22:17] * Det. Ema Skye is away: Investigating
[22:17] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa is away: All right!
[22:18] <D. Kakaku> heh, alright, well what do we do while the curfew is on, then?
[22:18] <@SpeedRcrX> Right now there's not a lot
[22:18] <@SpeedRcrX> Looks like the situation over at the Skytree is handled
[22:19] <@Sakura X. Aino> I don't like it.
[22:19] <@Sakura X. Aino> It smells super suss.
[22:19] <golD_lux> Whaddya mean, mom?
[22:19] <D. Kakaku> hmm? how come?
[22:20] <@Sakura X. Aino> Diana and I get gang-rushed at almost the same time the Skytree is exploded?
[22:20] <@Sakura X. Aino> So people have to choose where to go?
[22:20] <@SpeedRcrX> You think it was a distraction?
[22:21] <@Sakura X. Aino> Bingo Bongo Boom.
[22:21] <D. Kakaku> a distraction for...?
[22:21] <golD_lux> But why her? Why Diana?
[22:21] <@Sakura X. Aino> A distraction to prevent anyone from giving me backup.
[22:22] <@Sakura X. Aino> A Distraction to let them detach Diana's crescent moon.
[22:22] <@SpeedRcrX> What... *is* the deal with that thing anyway?
[22:22] <D. Kakaku> Why get crescent moons, anyway?
[22:23] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well aside from the standard multitool aspects - translator, telepathic interface, mental amplifier, low-grade telekinesis beam - it's a symbol of authority and power amongst the Lunar Royal family and select members of its inner court.
[22:24] <@Sakura X. Aino> Fun fact - there are different kinds. They look outwardly identical, but they're not
[22:24] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm, you don't think they're trying to make a new one, right?
[22:24] <@Sakura X. Aino> The "standard' ones for the main royal court are basically decorative
[22:25] <@Sakura X. Aino> The speical ones for the family itself and their most trusted advisors, like the cats, can act as keys and authentication tokens.
[22:25] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm
[22:25] <@Sakura X. Aino> Maybe, Daniel. Or maybe they needed an original one.
[22:26] <D. Kakaku> what can they unlock? authentication for what?
[22:26] * @Sakura X. Aino closes her eyes and concentrates, and you can see a sigil of venus form on her forhead. At first it's just made of energy, but then it becomes solid.

[22:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well records, buildings, technology, you name it.

[22:27] * @Sakura X. Aino makes hers vanish

[16:41] <Freya Felinus> ..some talk of her not being..sympathetic enough
[16:41] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...What an awful assembly of opportunistic a[BLEEP]les.
[16:42] <Freya Felinus> the question is will they succeed

[16:58] * @Sakura X. Aino narrows her eyes
[16:58] <@Sakura X. Aino> This could work to our advantage.
[16:58] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[16:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> If they're pushing a patient of the place to be your puppetmaster that means him heading over to helping haven with you is a totally normal thing.
[16:59] <Matsumi Kaze> ...that's..true
[17:00] <@Sakura X. Aino> Please play along for now.
[17:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> I have my own mission I need to make happen.

[17:03] <Matsumi Kaze> so you need me to go there?
[17:04] <@Sakura X. Aino> Not yet...
[17:04] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[17:06] <@Sakura X. Aino> Right now they're just suspicious but we haven't got any real evidence there's anything wrong with them. The Terrible-Senshi we know are a problem.

[17:09] <D. Kakaku> huh?
[17:10] <Freya Felinus> ...is she going to be alright?
[17:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> She's... in a kind of limbo.
[17:11] <Freya Felinus> ...
[17:11] * @Sakura X. Aino looks to Daniel. "We just got jumped. No one knew she was coming to visit me. It was a surprise visit."
[17:12] <D. Kakaku> that's terrible.
[17:14] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah... I feel responsible.
[17:14] <@Sakura X. Aino> I'm not used to being taken by surprise
[17:17] <Matsumi Kaze> I feel like..if we never went on this trip..we'd be more prepared
[17:17] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...That's crazy talk.
[17:18] <@Sakura X. Aino> This came out of the blue. I checked with Chat... there were no signs leading up to to it.
[17:18] <@Sakura X. Aino> We could have been here all day and it would have just happened.
[17:18] <@Sakura X. Aino> Don't guilt yourself.
[17:21] <Matsumi Kaze> I know i know ><
[17:23] <@Sakura X. Aino> Besides, from what Cressie said you basically saved the world.
[17:23] <@Sakura X. Aino> If you hadn't gone on vacation we'd all be dead?
[17:23] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah..I suppose
[17:23] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...
[17:24] * @Sakura X. Aino leans in and playsfully squeezes her cheeks with her hand "yeah I suppose"

[18:08] <Risa Hino> I'm iffy on it
[18:09] <D. Kakaku> wait, really?
[18:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well, no one knows your specific circumstances better than you.
[18:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> The trick might be to secure a large enough compound that you can stay out of each other's way when you want to.
[18:13] <Risa Hino> yes...also I am..not sure about leaving my daughter and granddaughter...
[18:14] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well it's not like you're moving to another country.

[18:29] <@Sakura X. Aino> But that person... isn't that person anymore.
[18:29] <Matsumi Kaze> >_>
[18:29] <Matsumi Kaze> ....I guess
[18:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> Start from there. And if Euri can't handle it, well then she'll need to be raised away from her.
[18:33] <Matsumi Kaze> well my mom offered to take her in
[18:34] <@Sakura X. Aino> Might be good for the time being
[18:35] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah I mean..I guess my mom knew her back in the day..they were neighbors

[19:22] <@Sakura X. Aino> Hey Kae!
[19:22] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> hey Miss Sakura...
[19:23] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ......
[19:23] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> I just got back from the doctor
[19:23] <@Sakura X. Aino> Everything okay?
[19:24] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ....something..something strange about the baby
[19:26] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> I don't know what to do
[19:26] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...How so?
[19:26] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte runs over as fast as her pregnant body can do it
[19:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> Whoa go easy there.
[19:27] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ....they did a scan..to see how she's devleoping and............apperently some of ike's genetics are more dominate...and it's...just..I don't know
[19:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> Calm down, calm down...
[19:27] <@Sakura X. Aino> what do you mean "dominant?" In a bad way?
[19:29] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> no just....
[19:30] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Babies are allowed to take after their fathers, you know XD
[19:30] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ..I was told she'll be very..expellian
[19:30] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> VERY
[19:30] <@Sakura X. Aino> As long as they can keep it in their pants when they grow up
[19:30] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...As in ears and tail "very"?
[19:31] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ..apperently
[19:32] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> they said there was...*winces*
[19:32] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte thinks
[19:32] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ..a 70% chance
[19:33] <@Sakura X. Aino> Hmm...
[19:33] <@Sakura X. Aino> Are you worried about how she'll fit in?
[19:35] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ..a little
[19:38] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well you have a few options
[19:39] <@Sakura X. Aino> Glamours, disguise meshes, or sending her to school in the alien zone.
[19:39] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> .....*suddenly looks sad*
[19:39] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ..am I being a bad mother
[19:40] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...No? You're worrying about your child's future, which is the #1 job of a mom.
[19:40] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> I still haven't seen or spoke to Ike since i got back
[19:41] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Is he off at the Scholomance again?
[19:42] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> no just...
[19:42] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ..I haven't gone home
[19:43] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ....I'm afraid to
[19:43] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...Why?
[19:45] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ....he doesn't know how....I look rightnow
[19:45] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ..and i'm just nervous I just don't know
[19:45] <@Sakura X. Aino> Ike loves you. He'll handle it.
[19:45] <@Sakura X. Aino> You forget, he deals with high strangeness all the time.
[19:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> An accelerated pregnancy is hardly going to raise his hackles.
[19:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> If anything he might become more protective of you
[19:49] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> ....should I just..go home then?
[19:50] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yes! I'm sure he misses you.
[19:50] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte is about to step
[19:50] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> .....how can I make sure transporation won't hurt the baby?
[19:51] <@Sakura X. Aino> It doesn't. I teleported and stuff tons of times with Cressida.
[19:58] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> very well
[19:58] * Tiny metal tendril tentatively snakes out from under the door to an adjacent and disused room.
[19:58] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> thank you, Sakura
[19:58] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte gives Sakura a hug
[19:58] * @Sakura X. Aino gives her a thumbs up
[19:58] * @Sakura X. Aino hugs her back
[19:58] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte nods and vanishes
[19:58] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte is away: Ike..
[19:58] <@Sakura X. Aino> If you need anything you know where to find me~
[19:59] * @Sakura X. Aino doesn't notice the tendril, still focused on the now-departed Kaelyn
[20:00] * @Sakura X. Aino taps on a dataPADD, trying to collate any information she can on the "Terrible-senshi" as the others are calling them
[20:00] * @Sakura X. Aino glances over to the raft and strange map brought back from Point Nemo as well, which sits in a corner of the Atrium
[20:01] * D. Kakaku is also looking at the raft and map, noting the coconuts.
[20:02] * Tiny metal tendril moves experimentally across the floor, sweeping an errant bit of dropped candy before it. After a few minutes, assuming Sakura doesn't change her activity or position, it points itself at the datapad, and then extends itself parallel to it, straightening like an antenna.
[20:03] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[20:03] * @Sakura X. Aino hasn't done anything to interfere with it
[20:04] * Shion notices the tendril and shrinks away in fright!
[20:05] * D. Kakaku looks around a bit.
[20:05] <D. Kakaku> (( do I roll to notice the tendril? ))
[20:06] * @Sakura X. Aino notices the confusion and looks around a bit, but hasn't done anything that might interfere with the tendril.
[20:07] * Tiny metal tendril 's straightened part stays where it is, but another metal shiny metallic tentacle snakes under the closed door very quietly.
[20:08] * Megan Smithson grabs Shion and pulls her away!
[20:08] * @Sakura X. Aino notices the straightened part now
[20:08] * @Sakura X. Aino observes it closely
[20:10] * Tiny metal tendrils move slowly almost all the time, except for occasional swift movements. One of them stays perpendicular to Sakura's DataPADD. The other undulates its way under a nearby dresser.
[20:10] * D. Kakaku sees one and looks at bit at one of them
[20:10] * Megan Smithson holds Shion protectivly from it
[20:11] * @Sakura X. Aino tries scanning the one pointing at her PADD with the PADD
[20:12] * Tiny metal tendrils are emerging under the door, there are three of them now. One of them lies flush against the floor, another is stiff, and another slowly scoots bits of recently-dropped litter from underneath the dresser into a neat pile.
[20:13] <D. Kakaku> (what the...?)
[20:14] * D. Kakaku is wondering what these tendrils are.
[20:15] * Tiny metal tendrils are made of incredibly fine metal, with joints that must be imperceptively small, because it looks like the tentacles are flowing at times, instead of flexing. One of them wraps around the dresser's leg, and begins to constrict.
[20:16] <D. Kakaku> hmmm, hey Sakura? may I?
[20:17] * @Sakura X. Aino reaches out with one hand ala Magneto and uses her metal control to see if she can lift them into the air
[20:17] <@Sakura X. Aino> Hmm? You wanna try something?
[20:18] <D. Kakaku> I want to check out this thing by exploring it.
[20:18] <@Sakura X. Aino> Go for it
[20:18] *** Sakura is able to levitate pull the tentacles into the air. They stay their for a few seconds.
[20:18] <D. Kakaku> alrigth
[20:19] * @Sakura X. Aino sets up a force field so they can't run out of sight and then puts them back down
[20:19] * D. Kakaku puts the suit on, and begins twisting the dial on his watch.
[20:19] * @Sakura X. Aino lets Daniel into the perminter of the forcefield to do what he wants
[20:19] * D. Kakaku begins shrinking while walking towards one of the tendrils.
[20:20] *** The tendrils react to Sakura's interaction by quickly pulling backwards and attempting to retreat underneath the door.
[20:20] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ 2 in, forcefield. ]
[20:20] *** The tendrils are extending beneath the door, but their source lies beyond it.
[20:21] * D. Kakaku [2 in, forcefield.] looks at one of the ones in theforcefield, what is it doing now?
[20:22] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, forcefield.] hmmmm?
[20:22] * Tiny metal tendrils all snake underneath the door but one that remains in the room, and then the door knob turns, and the door opens up into the room beyond. The metal tendril's dangles down from the ceiling above the doorfame, its source out of sight in the next room.
[20:23] * D. Kakaku [2 in, forcefield.] walks towards the next room
[20:24] * Remaining tendril beckons to Sakura.
[20:26] * D. Kakaku [2 in, forcefield.] takes a look?
[20:26] * Remaining tendril beckons to Sakura again.
[20:28] * @Sakura X. Aino looks at it
[20:28] <@Sakura X. Aino> You want to tell me something?
[20:28] * Remaining tendril beckons Sakura into the next room, and points beyond itself.
[20:28] * @Sakura X. Aino gets up and heads over to the room
[20:29] * D. Kakaku [2 in, forcefield.] feels some shaking and turns around to see Sakura's boot.
[20:29] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ 2 in, other room. ]
[20:30] * @Sakura X. Aino , of course, avoids Daniel
[20:30] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] I guess they wanted you in here too, huh?
[20:30] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeahs.
[20:30] * @Sakura X. Aino looks around
[20:30] *** Sakura and D.Kakaku behold (from very different angles) a huge spiderweb of metal that has criss-crossed the disused room.
[20:30] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] is that a spider web?
[20:31] <@Sakura X. Aino> It's a web, not sure if it's from a spider, though.
[20:31] * @Sakura X. Aino looks to see what's at the center of this web.
[20:32] *** Up above them, near the ceiling, is the center. It forms a repeating load-bearing lattice, and hanging from the center of the web is a metal protrusion, very roughly cylinder-shaped, about 3 feet wide.
[20:33] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] looks up
[20:33] * @Sakura X. Aino whistles
[20:33] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] huh?
[20:33] *** Sakura X. Aino is carrying:
--------------------------------------------
1. Arataka
2. Vindicator
3. V-chan Striking Katana
4. A Spare Hairbow
5. Snuggles the Teddy Bear
6. 900-Year Diary set
7. A Bag of Gummi Bears!
8. Lime Green iPod Nano
9. Sonic Screwdriver
10. Empty
--------------------------------------------
Assets: G¥0 .
[20:33] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] a cylinder?
[20:33] * @Sakura X. Aino takes out her Sonic Screwdriver and scans the metal cylinder
[20:34] * The tendril in the next room move behind them, and spulls on the dresser, straightening it.
[20:34] <@Sakura X. Aino> Trying to get a read on it.
[20:34] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] ok
[20:35] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] looks at the tendril and tries approaching it.
[20:37] *** This material, whatever it is in the center, is clearly hyper-advanced, though parts of it might well strike Sakura as rather familiar in their construction.
[20:37] * @Sakura X. Aino compares it with TARDIS / HOTEL construction
[20:39] *** The metal pod would typically be very difficult to scan, but as Sakura attempts it, the pod raises indentations along itself in accordance with her scan, revealing the outline of a human body within it. It has a 56& overlap with the TARDIS/HOTEL engineering principles.
[20:39] *** ^56%
[20:40] * @Sakura X. Aino checks if this correlates to Miss Suminaka
[20:40] * The tendrils in the next room collect together to form a small platform in front of Sakura, with "access granted" in raised relief.
[20:40] * @Sakura X. Aino stands on this platform
[20:42] *** The platform elevates Sakura up to the side of the metal pod, and it opens, revealing the intricate systems, armor, defense systems, and technical assemblies of Liza's Castle Mk VII.
[20:43] * @Sakura X. Aino checks over the systems to make sure everything is operating properly
[20:43] *** The pod's top opens up to reveal the helmet of Liza Suminaka-Sunrise, with black headphone's strikingly similar to Eliza McIntashe's slotted into the sides of the headgear, and her eyes closed serenely behind the visor.
[20:46] *** A hatch opens to reveal a status monitor to Sakura. The suit is reports that it is not operating within normal parameters, and has entered a type of lockdown mode.
[20:46] * @Sakura X. Aino checks to see what might be wrong
[20:48] *** Sakura scrolls through all the headlines and the police reports of the crazy things that have been happening in Tokyo, and can view an increasing percentage number beside each one. At the point where the percentages add up to 100%, a flashing icon that says "Consciousness Lockdown" appears there and each point thereafter.
[20:49] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] looks and tries to climb the platform?
[20:49] *** A pop-up window opens that informs Sakura that she has override permissions for the Consciousness Lockdown," and a place for her to push her finder.
[20:49] * The tendrils in the next room scoop him up as soon as he enters.
[20:50] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] already entered, but is scooped up
[20:50] * The tendrils in the next room raise him up (the ends of the tendrils are extremely fine, like hair), and gently secure and lift him next to Sakura.
[20:50] * @Sakura X. Aino places her sonic in the slot and activates it, hoping to glean troubleshooting information
[20:50] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] looks around
[20:51] * The tendrils in the next room hold D.Kakaku close to where Sakura is working, so he can talk to her without shouting.
[20:51] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] so, what is going on on that thing?
[20:52] <@Sakura X. Aino> It looks like all the chaos in Tokyo's caused an overload in this compensation suit.
[20:52] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] and "Consciousnes lockdown"?
[20:52] *** has joined #suburbansenshi2
[20:52] <@spiritflame> konbanwa
[20:52] *** Alldrogis Valkyvida [Inquisitor [REDACTED]@FedCom.net] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[20:52] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Alldrogis Valkyvida
[20:53] *** Alldrogis Valkyvida has moved back to the Atrium
[20:53] *** When the Sonic is in the slot, the promts says, "Welcome, Sakura Xadium Aino." It reports that all signs are nominal, but elevated levels of risk happening already have triggered the armorsuit's preprogrammed threshold to anesthetize Liza so things cannot get worse without authorization.
[20:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well while she's awake, the system basically has to offset her bad luck generation
[20:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> So it has to put her to sleep to prevent chaos from happening around her
[20:53] <@Sakura X. Aino> Which is what's happened right now
[20:54] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] ah, alright
[20:54] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] looks down in the tendril's scoop.
[20:54] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> This place certainly looks different.
[20:54] * @Sakura X. Aino has moved to: [ other room ]
[20:54] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] heard Alldrogis out there
[20:54] *** The Armorsuit's consciousness suppression systems interfaces come on next, and report working fine, and has access to a troubleshooting feed to display the saved reports of the last 1000 times that the anesthetic system was activated and why.
[20:54] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Yeah it's been remodeled
[20:55] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Back to its original form, I see. I rather liked the island resort though.
[20:55] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] looks to see if there's a way to adjust her suit to help her be awake without causing chaos even with all that's going on
[20:55] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] ...Uhh
[20:55] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] The resort was on Point Nemo
[20:55] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] That's thousands of miles away
[20:56] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Not like we can't just open a portal back to it at any time.
[20:56] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Right.
[20:56] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] tries to look at the reports.
[20:57] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> What is that you're working on?
[20:57] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] A probability compensation apparatus.
[20:57] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is revealed before Sakura, and can be seen if you look carefully.
[20:58] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Purpose?
[20:58] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] It's basically an exosuit to keep its inhabitant from negatively influence probabiliies around her.
[20:58] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's extremely formidable armorsuit is, at least.
[20:58] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Is there a dimensional overlap currently happening?
[20:58] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] But sometimes it can't handle it and so has to render her onconcious.
[20:58] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Nope.
[20:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] At least not that I'm aware of.
[20:59] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Who's the intended occupant?
[20:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Liza Suminaka. She's ensconced in the suit already.
[21:00] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] sighs
[21:00] *** The suit reports that the "how much bad luck is too much bad luck" meters can be reset, but displays the "time concsious vs bad luck" logarithmic scale, next to links to the crazy things happening, even with her unconscious now. It shows a countdown clock to awakening, and an override option, as well as the events that have reset and extended the unconsciousness duration.
[21:00] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] I know how the Time Lords would handle this.
[21:00] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] And it sucks that I think like them sometimes.
[21:00] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] meters and a scale. hmmmm?
[21:01] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] meters and a scale, hmmmm?
[21:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Well if I was them... I'd weaponize her bad luck ability as I was saving her surroundings.
[21:01] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Bad luck?
[21:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Just shunt the negative probabilities into another dimensions where we wanted things to go wrong.
[21:02] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I take it you've already ruled out magical curses and divine influence as the cause?
[21:02] *** There is also a prompt to Sakura that the "Anti-Escalation Recognition Suppression" system has worked flawlessly 100% of the time since she's been in this dimension, as that is the highest priority, and stayed functional despite all damage.
[21:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] She naturally generates "bad luck" in the form of negative probabilities
[21:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] The longer she's awake the more bad things happen. I think it's just genetic. Like an X-factor.
[21:02] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Bad luck for herself or for everyone else within a certain radius from her?
[21:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Everyone else.
[21:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] That's the problem
[21:03] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] Anti Escalation recognition supression?
[21:03] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> So she's Jinxed.
[21:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] The suit exists to let her have some semblance of a normal life
[21:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] I guess you could call it that.
[21:03] * Alldrogis Valkyvida nods.
[21:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] If you know the hero "Longshot", she's basically the opposite.
[21:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Except the effect pertains to everyone around her, not her.
[21:04] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] You know...
[21:04] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I've encountered Psykers with powers similar to hers. Usually they make things happen to their own benefit, but I can easily see the opposite happening.
[21:04] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] runs a genetic scan to see if there's anything that can be done to weaken her power.
[21:04] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Especially if they're used as a catalyst for causing chaos.
[21:05] *** Also, a panel on the "backpack" of the suit opens, the same one that dispensed the remote controls to Intern et al, and there is already a compartment that says "Sakura" on it, as well as one that says "Harumi," "Saki," and "Meiji."
[21:05] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Yeah that's what she would be without this suit. 100%.
[21:05] *** The text "100%" appears briefly, and then is replaced by "10,000+" on the readout.
[21:05] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] The thing is I'm wary of letting her wake up right now.
[21:05] * Alldrogis Valkyvida 's own racial ability is that he's deeply rooted in temporal probability, to the point of being almost immune to ANY kind of temporal manipulation.
[21:06] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] though that raises a particular point.
[21:06] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] hello?
[21:06] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> If her ability is the result of a psychic power, a null-field could weaken it.
[21:06] *** One of the "remote control" compartments open up, but notably, it's not the one with Sakura's name on it---one marked "RESERVE" opens instead, to reveal the same control Intern was entrusted with.
[21:06] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] The effect doesn't work when she's unconcious.
[21:07] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] So there's some kind of mental component.
[21:07] * D. Kakaku [2 in, other room.] looks at the tendril and looks to see where it leads to.
[21:07] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] is deep in throught on this, sorry Daniel
[21:07] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Interesting. There could potentially be a psychological component to it as well.
[21:07] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] notes that Intern has that control
[21:08] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Yeah.
[21:08] *** after the "10,000%" prompt, the readout assures Sakura that the Recognition Suppression System is active, and shows no signs of failing, showing readouts indicating more-than-adequate medication.
[21:08] *** there was more than one "Reserve" panel.
[21:08] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] That's worth investigating.
[21:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> There is not another one, though.
[21:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( ^^^ ))
[21:08] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] checks that other Reservepanel
[21:08] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] or not lol
[21:08] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] sighs
[21:08] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Has she ever been subjected to any kind of deep hypnotic training to suppress or control it?
[21:08] *** A reserve controller is now commiting scans to attune itself to her.
[21:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] I wish Paisley was here, we would try a Psychic incursion
[21:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] I don't know.
[21:09] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Or telepathic suggestion?
[21:09] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] I'm not skilled enough in mental manipulation for that. A Sister of the Flame would be better suited.
[21:09] <D. Kakaku> [2 in, other room.] now I just feel a bit useless.
[21:10] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Unfortunately, the males of my species have NO psychic aptitude. Only the females of my species are capable of that.
[21:10] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] ...Do you have access to any? I don't think Paisley's mentally up to anything after last night.
[21:10] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] hears Daniel and tries to think of how to put him to work
[21:10] *** In response to Alddrogis' question, the Anti-Escalation Suppression System is still working. This does seem to be a seperate feed from what is happening now. The timer continues to tick down most of the time that Sakura watches, though it does tick upward a couple of times as more police reports come out. The promt for Sakura to override and restore consciousness is displayed again, next to a "resume" option.
[21:11] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> I have another question/observation.
[21:11] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Yeah?
[21:12] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> You mentioned that she'd have to be put unconscious if her powers went wild.
[21:12] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] Well it's more like she's on a timer.
[21:12] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] The longer she's awake, the crazier things will get.
[21:12] <Alldrogis Valkyvida> Have you isolated which part of her brain is most active during those "bad luck surges"?
[21:12] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] It's a certainty.
[21:12] *** D.Kakaku, the tendril leads to the metal lattice supporting the suit. It does open up, and instead forms a ladder and platform instead of holding you.
[21:12] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] no. I haven't really been involved in all this.
[21:12] <@Sakura X. Aino> [other room] _That_ might be something we _can check.
[21:13] * @Sakura X. Aino [other room] takes her Sonic, and sets it to take some brain scan recordings.
