<FireFly_9> Beware the wrath of the Senshi of Sil-- stop sticking my Glaive into the wall socket!
welcome to #suburbansenshi2
[23:27] *** Even for Chateaux, the signal is beyond her abilities. For now.
[23:27] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] opens it and takes it out. and the accessories.
[23:27] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( Error: Player not Present ))
[23:28] *** The VR gear seems like it will fit him perfectly. It has a fresh smell, a huge instruction booklet full of features, and a small instruction booklet explaining how to get online and register your identity on the headset.
[23:28] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] looks through the booklets.
[23:29] *** The signature of one "Isabella Santorini," which alters colors from red into pink, is included in the box at the end of the quality assurance section. The features say that it can translate languages, treat phobias, diagnose health conditions, perform archaeological work, and chat with other people in all languages using proprietary software.
[23:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> Lost the space thing. But Kakaku's been near the sea location.
[23:30] <@Intern [D]> What are the odds.
[23:30] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] looks at the box and takes his shoes off and sticks a foot into the box.
[23:30] <@Intern [D]> Fluke nothing.
[23:30] <@Intern [D]> Something is going on here.
[23:31] *** It isa normal box, in every way.
[23:31] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] wonders if it fits.
[23:32] *** The box is not made to fit his body. The VR gear is.
[23:33] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] knows, he plans on shrinking into the box.
[23:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> haha that look in your eye is like Your Pink-haired self when she bites down on a mystery
[23:34] *** His foot doesn't fit.
[23:34] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] starts shrinking himself to fit.
[23:35] *** The CAstle MK LVI indicates to Chateaux that, when Liza wakes up, she will undergo some conditioning to reverse her hardwired panic reaction to when she sees the person who matches the Alchemist that she's been preprogrammed to flee from in terror---it's expected to be a looooong process. The conditioning runs REALLY deep on that response.
[23:35] <@Intern [D]> I suppose wwe would have some similarities
[23:35] *** The VR gear doesn't shrink with him.
[23:35] * @Chateaux Concierge acknowledges
[23:36] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] looks around now.
[23:36] *** the Castle Mk LVI doesn't comment about what went on with Eliza during the extradimensional search.
[23:36] *** The rooml ooks bigger.
[23:36] <@Intern [D]> I may have Chat Imperatrix do some work on this as well. I wonder if Liza's proximity to you is an issue.
[23:36] *** D. KAkaku might actually not be able to get that Headset to work.
[23:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> Spatial or emotional
[23:37] <@Intern [D]> Yes.
[23:37] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] goes to the vr headset.
[23:37] *** The headset is too big for him now.
[23:37] * @Intern [D] paces
[23:38] <@Intern [D]> It can't just be a fluke.
[23:38] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] looks to see if he can go under it.
[23:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> But what if it's a resonance like how you and pink hair would probably synch on some scans?
[23:39] <@Intern [D]> ...Reality has pattterns.
[23:39] <@Intern [D]> I don't think this is logical Paredolia
[23:40] *** D. KAkaku does notice that this headset has a different jack shape for charging and what not than other electronics.
[23:40] <@Intern [D]> We search for her and we find all these other hits? That Kuramoto? Your homebound Eliza? the other one in Italy?
[23:40] *** IT must bea veeeeery weird headset.
[23:40] <@Intern [D]> What's the story with the mountain and the ship?
[23:40] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room] hmmm.
[23:40] <@Intern [D]> What is the thread
[23:41] *** Chateaux sees that a message she missed was unlocked right after Liza fell asleep.
[23:41] <@Intern [D]> and why does Kuramoto's signal error
[23:41] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] grows back to put it on
[23:41] *** The backup test that the readings ARE NOT from Liza herself. There was an incredibly, incredibly unlikely error in the scan.
[23:42] * Shiro Kuramoto works in the laboratory that Chateaux built for him.
[23:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> It was just an error
[23:42] *** The headset is now the right size for D. Kakaku
[23:42] <@Intern [D]> ..Liza really is keeping her secrets.
[23:42] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] plugs in any and all acessories that can be connected, then turns on the headset.
[23:44] <@Intern [D]> I believe Deivision still has those hands.
[23:44] <@Intern [D]> ^Division
[23:44] *** A totally-unknown design of CPU tries to access Chateaux's internet connection.
[23:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...hands?
[23:44] *** THe headset boots up and starts making Internet pings. It requests that the user "enter your name."
[23:44] * @Chateaux Concierge segregates it from her core systems but lets it run sandboxed
[23:45] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] enters a screenname
[23:45] <@Intern [D]> You wouldn't remember. You had your mind wiped.
[23:45] *** D. KAkaku's VR gear, the Omniperipheral Mk IV, has gained internet access.
[23:45] *** Does D. Kakaku put a real name, or a fake name?
[23:46] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] considers it the pros and cons.
[23:47] *** Shiro Kuramoto has moved back to the Atrium
[23:47] <Shiro Kuramoto> OH! Hello there!
[23:47] <@Intern [D]> !
[23:48] * @Intern [D] adopts a pleasant expression
[23:48] <@Intern [D]> Hello!
[23:48] <Shiro Kuramoto> Hi. My name is Shiro Kuramoto. Do I know you?
[23:48] <@Intern [D]> (Interesting. Now this one appears)
[23:48] <@Intern [D]> I don't believe we've met. My name is The Intern.
[23:48] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] uses his real name to register.
[23:48] <@Intern [D]> (How is he here)
[23:49] * @Intern [D] was certain she had dealt with him
[23:49] *** D. kakaku gets a TOTALLY DIFFEREN SCREEN. "You are REALLY Daniel Kakaku?"
[23:49] *** The vR Headset says "Yes/No"
[23:49] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] puts down yes.
[23:50] <Shiro Kuramoto> Good evening, Intern. It is a pleasure to meet you. Your friend allows me to practice my materials science here.
[23:50] <Shiro Kuramoto> Right now, IM' working on a method to break curses.
[23:50] <Shiro Kuramoto> For a moment, I thought you might know me, given your expression.
[23:50] <@Intern [D]> (could this be the cause of the errorer readings)
[23:50] <@Intern [D]> Ahh, you looked like someone I ... used to know.
[23:51] <@Intern [D]> Breaking curses? That sounds fascinating.
[23:51] *** D. kAkaku notices the room is getting veeeeeeery quiet as he is on this screen. Chateaux notices that the Headset is uploading D. Kakaku's biomarkers to the internet.
[23:51] <@Intern [D]> (If that involves manipulating reality somehow)
[23:51] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room] hmmmm?
[23:52] *** D. Kakaku is treated to a screen of soft pink tones and quiet music. The screen asks him some questions to confirm he is REALLY D. Kakaku--things only he would know.
[23:52] <Shiro Kuramoto> Yes, well. I do my effort at the pleasure of your friend here. (He indicates Chateaux.)
[23:52] <Shiro Kuramoto> She has been even kinder to me than my many associates and fans, in her own amazing way.
[23:52] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] answers them to the best of his ability.
[23:52] <@Intern [D]> She's very helpful. :)
[23:52] <Shiro Kuramoto> As such, I gladly put off managing my company to the best of my ability to help her.
[23:53] * @Intern [D] smiles SO BRIGHTLY AT CHAT
[23:53] <Shiro Kuramoto> Indeed. She also appreciated the liquid blade I crafted.
[23:53] * @Chateaux Concierge FEELS THE HOSTILITY
[23:53] *** D. Kakaku's headset starts broadcasting a GPS signal.
[23:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> You were vrey generous!
[23:53] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room] hmmm?
[23:53] <Shiro Kuramoto> Actually, I would like to request your guidance in helping a client?
[23:53] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] looks around on the headset.
[23:54] <Shiro Kuramoto> You went so far as to donate the materials, so I wanted to clear a project with you.
[23:54] <@Intern [D]> Oh, how kind of her to donate the materials! :D
[23:54] * @Intern [D] SMILES AT CHATEAUX.
[23:55] *** D. KAkaku sees opera singers in one corner of the room, and huge limousines in another corner, and what seems to be an interface for control in another corner, and in the third corner, a gblack-surrounded icon of a violin.
[23:55] * @Chateaux Concierge laughs her ass off internally
[23:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes?
[23:55] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well, you seet, here were people who wished to divine the future for use in a war.
[23:55] <Shiro Kuramoto> And, they continued to talk about a person named The Emperor.
[23:55] <Shiro Kuramoto> They wished me to reconstruct something called the "Emperor's Tarot."
[23:55] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ D. Kakaku's Room, VR ]
[23:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> These people uh... busty women? Hang around with foxes?
[23:56] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] looks at the limousines.
[23:56] <Chateaux Concierge> (( brb ))
[23:56] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] looks at the functions afterwards
[23:56] *** The headset and display gives a "Bing" noise, and "correct" appears on the screen.
[23:57] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] hmmmm?
[23:57] *** D. Kakaku finds himself in a triangular room. There are several mannequins, or outlines of people. They are women. One has long blonde hair, one has short red hair, and one has medium-length dark hair.
[23:57] <Shiro Kuramoto> Yes, actually, you described them exactly. They mentioned that their leader was in a war in some.... far away place?
[23:58] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] looks at all three mannequins closely.
[23:58] <Shiro Kuramoto> SO, naturally, they met my fees. Do you want some of that, by the way?
[23:58] *** Does D. Kakaku look at one of them longer than the others?
[23:58] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] yes, the blonde one, for now.
[23:59] *** Another "correct" indication flashes in D. Kakaku's eyes and ears.
[23:59] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] eh? hmmm?
[23:59] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] wonders if he can shrink in the VR space.
[00:00] *** D. Kakaku find himself in a very, very very long hallway.
[00:00] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] gulps and walks down in the hallway.
[00:01] *** One end of the hallways has an image at the end of it of a woman with long, long blonde hair, over her eyes, but who is shrouded in darkness. The other side seems to show the outside world. A way out. It's sunny, and there are birds, and food, and green grass. Which side does D. Kakaku walk toward?
[00:01] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] hmmm.
[00:02] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] walks towards the image, carefully.
[00:02] <Shiro Kuramoto> I'd happily pay you. You did donate, after all. I'm as good as my word.
[00:03] *** As D. Kakaku dets gloser to the image, the area around him seems to get darker. The sounds go silent, giving way to a loud wind, which blocks out all sound.
[00:03] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] hmmm? huh?
[00:03] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] looks around again.
[00:04] *** The closer D. Kakaku gets to the image, the more darkness and sensory overload he finds himself in. When he looks behind him, he can see the room. Ahead is the woman's shape, but also darkness and whirring noise that covers up everything else. Which direction does he go in?
[00:05] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] goes towards the shape of the woman, figuring there's nowhere else to go now.
[00:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> I don't need any money, it's okay
[00:05] <Shiro Kuramoto> My question to you, I guess, is whether you want me to make the other item that can help them? You see, I know a way to create something that can allow the user to contact entities from other realities. With moderate risk. I was wondering if you thought it was an acceptable idea for me to fabricate the device that would let them communicate with this "Emperor." Would you like that?
[00:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> They're trustworthy, if a little strange.
[00:05] <Shiro Kuramoto> So it's okayf or me to manufacture an implement that could allow contact with the Emperor that they keep talking about?
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> you can try but I'm not sure their emperor is reachable?
[00:06] * Shiro Kuramoto just chuckles.
[00:06] <Shiro Kuramoto> AS long as it is acceptable.
[00:06] <Shiro Kuramoto> And you, madam, might I assist you?
[00:06] <@Intern [D]> ♦ DO YOU REALLY WANT THE EMPERIOR OF MANKIND FROM THAT UNIVERSE KNOWING ABOUT THIS ONE. DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WITH
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> ♦ WE BALL
[00:07] <@Intern [D]> ♦ WHAT. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
[00:07] *** As D. KAkaku gets closer to the figure of the woman, he finds himself in darkness and silence. There is nothing but total darkness in front of his eyes, and white noise in his ears. What does D. Kakaku do?"
[00:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> /f;ash :3
[00:07] <@Intern [D]> No thank you, I'm well
[00:07] *** Chateaux notes that D. Kakaku's room is the source of a very strange signal.
[00:08] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] starts looking around again.
[00:08] *** It's trying to upload data to the internet, and SEEMS to think it is succeeding, but there seems to be no site that is detectable that it is interfacing with.
[00:08] * @Chateaux Concierge records all this data
[00:08] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] the heck is going on?
[00:08] *** The very strange thing is that the Headset is actually receiving data packets from... somewhere. There's no server or file or program on the web that seems to be dispatching it.
[00:08] * @Chateaux Concierge checks for extradimensional data transfer
[00:09] *** D. Kakaku can see nothing except darkness, and hear nothing except static.
[00:09] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] darkness and static? is this a dud?
[00:09] *** There is no sign of extradimensional data transfer. It's that the data is.... disappearing. She cannot detect the IPs or connections or servers, but she could try to see in which direction it is going.
[00:09] *** D. Kakaku's headset says "voice match authenticated. Uploading location."
[00:10] * @Chateaux Concierge does so
[00:10] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] huh?
[00:10] <Shiro Kuramoto> Very well. I'll get towo rk on it.
[00:10] * @Chateaux Concierge WANTS TO KNOW MORE
[00:10] <Shiro Kuramoto> And... Miss... Intern, did you say? Might I do any service for you?
[00:11] *** The signals are going through wires and routers that connect to the American East Coast... but... there's no ping. There's no signal in a specific area---it's like the region the data is going to doesn't exist. It's not even on a map. There's no trace of it at all!
[00:11] <@Intern [D]> Not at the present moment, thank you. But I will keep you in mind!
[00:11] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] .... should have done this somewhere else.
[00:11] <Shiro Kuramoto> OF course! thank you for your courtesy. I'll get back to work, then. I have clients waiting.
[00:11] *** Shiro Kuramoto [0] has quit IRC (Many people sell many things, but only *I* can sell you Possibility.)
[00:11] * @Chateaux Concierge does some deep scans of this area that doesn't exist
[00:12] *** D. KAkaku's headset starts showing him amazing pictures of different foods.
[00:12] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] hmmmm....
[00:12] *** The headphones make it REALLY sound like he's in the kitchen, hearing things cook.
[00:12] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] huh?
[00:12] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] looks around.
[00:13] *** THe headphones display that he's at a fairgrounds, where all kinds of people are having fun!
[00:13] <@Intern [D]> CHATEAUX ARE YOU INSANE
[00:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes? :D
[00:13] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] walks around in it, lookin at his controls.
[00:13] <@Intern [D]> GRRRRR
[00:13] * @Intern [D] facepalms
[00:13] *** Chateaux cannot seem to isolate this area--from space satellites, or records, or maps. Occasionally, airplanes head toward it, but then they disappear, too.
[00:14] <@Intern [D]> How my alternate came up with you
[00:14] * @Chateaux Concierge holds up a hand
[00:14] *** The goggles that D. Kakaku wears start flashing rapidly.
[00:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> So... there's some kind of sensory dead spot
[00:14] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] huh? wha?
[00:14] * @Chateaux Concierge outlines on a map the whole zone she can't probe
[00:14] *** The goggles don't flash again, until D. Kakaku takes a breath. When he does, they rapidly flash as long as he is inhaling.
[00:15] <@Intern [D]> That You can't scan?
[00:15] *** The data is uploaded, and sent, via Chateaux's web connection, off to... somewhere.
[00:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> Mmm-hmm.
[00:15] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] '/me doesn't know what to do now.
[00:15] <@Intern [D]> That level of technology should be beyond anyone on this planet.
[00:15] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] *^
[00:15] <@Intern [D]> Well except for perhaps Luthor, or Stark...
[00:16] *** The headset shows D. Kakaku the message "Deep Breath."
[00:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> Data packets are leaving my network and going to this null zone
[00:16] <@Intern [D]> ...what's the source? Liza'a suit?
[00:16] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] takes a deep breath
[00:17] <@Chateaux Concierge> Unrelated.
[00:17] <@Chateaux Concierge> Kakaku's Room
[00:17] <@Intern [D]> What? What's he doing
[00:17] *** Chateaux notes that a good number of truck and train routes are going toward this dead spot location on the map, which is on the US East Coast. It must be an infrastructure center. But there's no record.
[00:17] <@Chateaux Concierge> Dunno
[00:18] *** This time, when D. Kakaku inhales, his goggles flash again. But, also, his earmuffs give off a sonic tone.
[00:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's on the US East Coast but it's a dead zone. IT's not like the place doesn't exist, but it's super redacted and unscannable
[00:18] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] AGH
[00:18] *** d. Kakakus' headset displays the message "Deep Breath."
[00:18] <@Intern [D]> Mhhhh.
[00:18] *** The sonic tone isn't hurtful to listen to.
[00:18] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] keeps on deep breathing.
[00:19] * @Intern [D] thinks
[00:19] *** D. KAkaku slowlyr ealizes he cannot hear ANYTHING tha doesn't come through the suit's headphones.
[00:19] * @Intern [D] looks up her agent list
[00:19] *** Searching the Internet, Chateaux cannot even find a photograph with this location in the background!
[00:19] * @Intern [D] tasks Nizhaladax
[00:19] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] keeps on breathing deeply
[00:19] *** A signal comes through Chateaux's systesms.
[00:20] * @Intern [D] requests she go back in time 2000 years to that dead zone location and set up a series of Temporal Data Recorders
[00:20] * Headset slowly continues to pulse and emit sound, but only as long as D. Kakaku breathes in. It logs all these biomarkers and uploads them online.
[00:20] * @Chateaux Concierge checks this signal
[00:20] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] keeps going.
[00:20] * Headset finally displayes. "Welcome, Daniel Kakaku. Know that it is fantastic that you decided to make use of this product."
[00:21] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] blinks and breathes.
[00:21] * Headset says, "You will not be disappointed. There is a feature here designed SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU."
[00:22] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] looks for the feature.
[00:22] *** Chateaux can, of course, see D. Kakaku acting strangely with the headset on in his room. Not necessarily because she is spying. The VR gear is uploading all the room interferometry online so that, wherever the signal is going, the room he is in is recorded.
[00:23] * Headset shows D. KAkaku a map, progressively, going around different streets in Tokyo, one after another. A route to follow.
[00:23] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] follows the route
[00:25] *** This would entail D. Kakaku LEAVING THE HOTEL, and walking around in Tokyo wearing the headset. Chateaux, (and, presumably, other bystanders) do you allow D. Kakaku to walk outside with a head-mounted-display and thick earmuff-style headphones on?
[00:25] * @Chateaux Concierge will not stop a grown ass man from doing stupid ass things
[00:25] <D. Kakaku> (( lol, I thought it'd be a virtual tokyo XD ))
[00:25] * @Intern [D] assumes the headset has enviornmental pass through
[00:26] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] checks for environmental passthrough.
[00:27] *** THere is no environmental passthrough. D. Kakaku notes, though, that when hw ewlks through the lobby, he can detect Intern highlighted, and a labal that shows two pulses.
[00:27] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] huh?
[00:27] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] loooks at intern and the pulses.
[00:28] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] tries finding a piece of paper to draw the map.
[00:28] *** D. Kakaku is seemingly able to percieve MORE things in the lobby. But then a signal is sent along Chateaux's wireless network to the headset.
[00:28] * @Intern [D] is a Time Lord so has two hearts.
[00:28] *** Intern and Chateaux (and all the other strange things in the Lobby) seem to fade from D. Kakaku's perception. There's nothing but a line on the floor to follow.
[00:28] <@Intern [D]> You all right in htere?
[00:29] *** D. KAkaku cannot hear Intern.
[00:29] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room, VR] looks at the line and begins following it.
[00:29] <@Intern [D]> ...is it wise to let him out? He doesn't seem to be able to hear me.
[00:29] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Tokyo, VR ]
[00:29] * Headset leads D. Kakaku around the house several times. Music is piped in as he goes on his journey.
[00:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's fine. He'll be fiiine
[00:30] *** Taxi parks in the street outside.
[00:30] <@Intern [D]> ...and if he dies?
[00:30] *** Another taxi parks next to the first one, and then another, and then another.
[00:30] * D. Kakaku [Tokyo, VR] keeps following the line.
[00:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> We'll just have to find the dragonballs.
[00:30] *** The line to follow leads D. Kakaku toward the taxis.
[00:30] <@Intern [D]> Your casual disregard for life is concerning.
[00:30] * D. Kakaku [Tokyo, VR] follows it.
[00:30] *** D. Kakaku can see a strange tunnel that he needs to go through, with unusually textured moss.
[00:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> Look, look, he's going to a cab.
[00:30] * Headset 's line directs him through it.
[00:31] <@Intern [D]> ...
[00:31] <@Intern [D]> You are a very dysfunctional being.
[00:31] * D. Kakaku [Tokyo, VR] follows it, and looks around.
[00:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> Thank you~
[00:31] * @Intern [D] feels a headache coming on
[00:31] <@Intern [D]> So anyway, keep an eye on him. As I was saying before
[00:31] *** Observers see D. Kakaku go through one door of one taxi, and then out another, and then through another taxi, and then through the back doors of another taxi, and another one...
[00:32] <@Intern [D]> You were mindwoped... but Liz
[00:32] * Headset shows D. Kakaku that he's doing a great job exploring the tunnel. A lovely fanfare sounds after he emerges from the other side. The moss feels a liiiiittle bit like car upholstery.
[00:32] <@Intern [D]> She had Sailor Enclave's magical item
[00:32] <D. Kakaku> [Tokyo, VR] hmmm?
[00:32] <@Intern [D]> And her suit cut off er arms.
[00:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...........
[00:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> Wut
[00:33] * D. Kakaku [Tokyo, VR] looks around.
[00:33] <@Intern [D]> I think she is an alt of Sailor Enclave.
[00:33] <@Intern [D]> Perhaps not a direct analogue
[00:33] *** The headset shows D. Kakaku a starry sky, and has informative overlays of different stars, highlighting what he cannot see with his eyes, and shows the predicted motions of spacecraft.
[00:33] * Headset makes another line going back to the HOTEL.
[00:33] <@Intern [D]> But dangerous enough that the suit is trying to prevent her for awakening to this knowledge at all costs.
[00:33] <D. Kakaku> [Tokyo, VR] hmm
[00:34] *** The taxi drivers look at each other, weirded out, and then drive off, having received their electronic payment.
[00:34] * D. Kakaku [Tokyo, VR] follows the line again.
[00:34] <@Chateaux Concierge> .....
[00:34] <@Chateaux Concierge> So how the f[BLEEP]k do we CURE her?
[00:34] * Headset makes the line going back to the HOTEL flash green as he follows it, and walks back inside. When he stops, it says, "You REALLY ARE Daniel Kakaku. I'll see you soon."
[00:34] * Headset powers off.
[00:35] <@Intern [D]> We'll discuss it tomorrow
[00:35] <D. Kakaku> [Tokyo, VR] hmmm?
[00:35] * Eliza McIntash [Eliza's Room] can hear Intern now.
[00:35] <Eliza McIntash> (( oops ))
[00:35] *** D. KAKaku canhe ar Intern now.
[00:35] <@Intern [D]> For now you need to tell me what you intend to do if that maniac who sits upoin the Golden Throne makes his way here?
[00:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> Laugh hysterically?
[00:36] <D. Kakaku> [Tokyo, VR] what maniac?
[00:36] * @Intern [D] curses in Low Gallifreyan
[00:36] <@Intern [D]> The Emperor of Mankind
[00:36] <@Intern [D]> the one Solarchos serves
[00:36] * canf eel that, even though he's been moving around in a vr getup for a long time, he doesn't feel sweaty at all--the peripherals have an amazing fan system.
[00:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> Dude it would be So funny
[00:37] *** D. Kakaku can feel that.
[00:37] * D. Kakaku [Tokyo, VR] checks for battery
[00:37] <@Intern [D]> ...I'm glad I don't live in this Universe.
[00:37] *** The headset is off right now. He can only see black. There doesn't seem to be a visible battery indicator.
[00:37] <D. Kakaku> [Tokyo, VR] huh, the peripherals feel really cool.
[00:37] * D. Kakaku [Tokyo, VR] tries taking it off.
[00:38] * @Chateaux Concierge changes topic to `[00:37] * D. Kakaku [Tokyo, VR] tries taking it off.`
[00:38] *** the headset, of course, comes off, and D. Kakaku finds himself in the atrium, not far from Chateaux and Intern
[00:38] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[00:38] <D. Kakaku> short running battery
[00:39] * Headset has "Cain Santorini, Mk IV" written on the side, should Intern/Chateaux look.
[00:39] * D. Kakaku looks for the charger
[00:39] * @Intern [D] notices but it doesn't ring a bell with her as it wasn't her who was dealing with all that.
[00:40] *** It seems that no chargers fit this Omniperipheral device.
[00:40] <D. Kakaku> hmm, gonna have to go back up.
[00:40] *** All the a/b/c/micro mini things that would normally be used do not work on it.
[00:41] * D. Kakaku heads upstairs.
[00:41] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ D. Kakaku's Room ]
[00:41] * @Chateaux Concierge is away: need to invest in popcorn stocks
[00:41] <Castle Mk LVI> queries if Chateaux wants to speak to Liza again during this cycle, or if she wants her to remain asleep and receive more conditioning.
[00:41] * Castle Mk LVI ^^^
[00:42] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte is away: I was here too
[00:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> /m lets her sleep and condition
[00:42] * @Chateaux Concierge is away
[00:43] * @Intern [D] is away: need to make sure Chat imperiatrix has her personality improved from this one
[00:44] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] goes to charge the device if the charger is there.
[00:45] *** the charger is easily-accessible, and just needs to be plugged in.
[00:46] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] plugs it in and puts it back on his head, can it be on while charging?
[00:48] *** The headset just shows a timer instead of anything else---and it's counting toward a time that is tomorrow.
[00:48] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room] mmmm, okay.
[00:49] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] looks around at the peripherals for anything else.
[00:50] *** They are all offline, and doing updates which will be finished tomorrow.
[00:50] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] is actually looking for an opening in them.
[00:51] *** Theya re incredibly well-made, and don't have an opening.
[00:51] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room] nowhere to enter, hmm.
[00:52] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] checks the headset itself.
[00:55] *** the headset itself doesn't have an access point.
[00:56] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room] hmmm, what to do until then? ...
[00:59] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] goes downstairs and heads outside.
[01:10] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] heads back to his room halfway thorugh.
[01:10] *** D. Kakaku has left #suburbansenshi2 (Come on, let's go!)
[16:56] *** @Intern [D] [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] has joined #suburbansenshi2

[16:56] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Nizhaladax
[16:57] <Nizhaladax> ..So you're getting involved?
[16:57] <@Intern [D]> Yes.
[16:57] <@Intern [D]> The version of myself that's here is not up to the task.
[16:58] <@Intern [D]> It falls to me to resolve this efficiently
[16:58] <Nizhaladax> ...You shouldn't underestimate her.
[16:58] <@Intern [D]> Leave your friendships out of this.
[16:58] *** D. Kakaku has joined #suburbansenshi2
[16:58] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa D. Kakaku
[16:59] <D. Kakaku> [D. Kakaku's Room] Intern, is that you? the alt one?
[16:59] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[16:59] <@Intern [D]> We have a ton of Signals Intelligence and we need to make sense of it.
[16:59] <@Intern [D]> ....I'm sure you can see the colour of my hair and the eypatch.
[16:59] <@Intern [D]> Yes.
[16:59] <D. Kakaku> I can see it
[17:00] <D. Kakaku> so, this is probably unrelated to what you're doing, but maybe related to your interests.
[17:00] <@Intern [D]> For instance, Nihaladax, we have two incredibly complex murals.
[17:00] * @Intern [D] pauses at the interruption
[17:00] <D. Kakaku> ...Murals?
[17:00] <@Intern [D]> Yes?
[17:00] <D. Kakaku> oh, right
[17:01] <@Intern [D]> Yes. One of which you saw yourself in Tokyo harbour.
[17:01] <D. Kakaku> so, after the conversaion we had about the Easter Bunny... I realized something.
[17:01] <@Intern [D]> Another carved into a mountaintop
[17:01] <@Intern [D]> ...yes?
[17:01] * Nizhaladax stifles a laugh, she can see Intern is getting annoyed
[17:01] <D. Kakaku> I remembered that I could probably use magic to get us into the World of the Easter Bunny.
[17:02] * @Intern [D] takes a soldi minute to process that, her carefully laid meeting agenda just... having been destroyed
[17:02] <D. Kakaku> as for the murals... not only was there the one in the harbor, but there was also a ship with a mural in Tokyo Bay as well.
[17:02] <@Intern [D]> ...I... see...
[17:02] <@Intern [D]> Wait
[17:03] <@Intern [D]> Was the mural in the habrour and the one on the ship different?
[17:03] <@Intern [D]> Or was it the ship Sunk in the Harbour?
[17:03] <D. Kakaku> one was stone and the other was painted.
[17:03] <D. Kakaku> I think
[17:04] * @Intern [D] goes over the records again
[17:04] * D. Kakaku adds the pictures of the first mural he took.... he didn't take pictures of the one on the ship.
[17:06] <@Intern [D]> This first mural, did you encounter it the same night as the shipwreck?
[17:06] <D. Kakaku> no
[17:07] <D. Kakaku> I encopuntered it a while before the ship
[17:07] * @Intern [D] nods "I see, I wasn't looking far back enough"
[17:07] * @Intern [D] asks Nizhaladax to look up the information
[17:13] <D. Kakaku> I think it was not long after our easter bunny conversation, maybe a night or two
[17:13] <Nizhaladax> I found it, thanks, that was helpful.
[17:14] <@Intern [D]> So... there are no less than three of these murals
[17:14] <@Intern [D]> We know that at least in two, Chateaux features prominently, as well as others here.
[17:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> I totally have a Cult
[17:15] <@Intern [D]> Rassilon help us if that were true.
[17:16] <@Intern [D]> The question is, why would they do that?
[17:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> Fanart? Worshipful fanart?
[17:16] <@Intern [D]> ...Get over yourself.
[17:16] <@Intern [D]> Interestingntly it seems to be done at such a scale that it's meant to draw our attention.
[17:17] <@Intern [D]> One on a mountaintop and it's so vast it can only be seen from space
[17:17] <@Intern [D]> One under a Peir done in such anachronistic fashion it would doubtlessly show up in the media.
[17:17] * D. Kakaku looks incredulous at that
[17:18] <@Intern [D]> Hmm?
[17:18] <@Intern [D]> You have a different idea?
[17:18] <D. Kakaku> on a mountaintop, how big is it?
[17:18] <D. Kakaku> huh, no, no differect ideas
[17:19] <@Intern [D]> Gigantic
[17:19] <Nizhaladax> Boss, hold on.
[17:19] * Some kids in the far end of the atrium are apperently playing a game of tag..awwww...
[17:19] <Nizhaladax> There might be a pattern.
[17:19] <D. Kakaku> ... how gigantic?
[17:19] <@Intern [D]> Go on
[17:20] <Nizhaladax> The mural on the ship...
[17:20] <Nizhaladax> one of the features is a mountaintop
[17:21] <Nizhaladax> Then on the mountain mural...
[17:21] <Nizhaladax> there's a map of another planet.
[17:21] <@Intern [D]> Are you sugesting one points to the other?
[17:22] <Nizhaladax> Maybe, like a trasure hunt?
[17:22] <Nizhaladax> Or a map?
[17:23] <Nizhaladax> "The ending of the ship just shows a woman in a prison cell, alone and unconscious. Around her are the sun and stars. There's a huge, strangey-shaped cloud with rain pouring from it, and a rapier, and an outline of a smaller boat on the hull of the huge sunken boat."
[17:23] <@Intern [D]> An escape pod?
[17:23] <D. Kakaku> and the smaller boat?
[17:24] <@Intern [D]> Detective Skey said she encountered him on an Island.
[17:24] <@Intern [D]> ^skye
[17:24] <@Intern [D]> How does one get to an island
[17:25] <D. Kakaku> ... I was with her when we saw him.
[17:25] <@Intern [D]> I seem to recall in her report she mentioned a map, or some markings
[17:25] <@Intern [D]> Do you rmemeber this?
[17:26] <D. Kakaku> not much of it, but I remember how mute and decrepit he was.
[17:27] <@Intern [D]> Mmm.
[17:27] <@Intern [D]> For the moment I'm trying to understand the purpose of the murals
[17:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> What can I say? People can't get me out of their heads~
[17:27] * @Intern [D] facepalms
[17:27] <@Intern [D]> Get over yourself...
[17:28] <D. Kakaku> hmmm, how giganticis the m,ountaintop one though.
[17:28] * The game of tag in the back is getting pretty rowdy
[17:28] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[17:28] <D. Kakaku> what's going on back there?
[17:28] <@Intern [D]> You should go see.
[17:29] * D. Kakaku goes towards the back of the atrium.
[17:30] * The game of tag is rushing around the back area of the atrium.....
[17:30] <D. Kakaku> ummm, hello?
[17:33] * Watch your step , DK...those kids are moving pretty fast and might run into you
[17:33] * D. Kakaku turns back and runs back to Intern and 'friends'
[17:33] <D. Kakaku> too fast.
[17:34] <@Intern [D]> ah.
[17:36] <Nizhaladax> The mountain mural does not paint Chateaux in a reverent light.
[17:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> There's always gonna be hatas
[17:36] <D. Kakaku> oh?
[17:37] <Nizhaladax> "The image has been masterfully crafted, in detail that would exceed stonecutters that have worked for decades. It shows trees, peaches, a fruit that doesn't exist on earth, Chateaux herself (with a malicious, threatening look)"
[17:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hey it could've just been one of the time sI was kicking someone into the sun
[17:38] <D. Kakaku> and how big is the chateaux in that one?
[17:38] <@Chateaux Concierge> I don't know dude, don't go climbing all over me?
[17:42] <D. Kakaku> then how do we check it in detail on the ground?
[17:42] * @Chateaux Concierge sighs
[17:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> fiiiine
[17:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> We'll get you over there so you can be the Crawler.
[17:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> But not at this exact second
[17:43] <D. Kakaku> right
[17:45] * The game of tag crashes into the main part of the atrium annnnnd one of the kids has a gun
[17:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> ..Did we end up in America somehow
[17:49] <Purple Haired Kid> I'M GETTING OUTTA HERE NOW YOU BRATS
[17:49] * Purple Haired Kid fires and gets flung back from the sheer force of it ><
[17:50] <D. Kakaku> uhhhmmmm...

[17:51] <spiritflame> @Chateaux Concierge rolls 1d0 GAF Check [ 1 ]
[17:51] <spiritflame> @Chateaux Concierge rolls 1d20 GAF check [ 9 ]
[17:51] * @Chateaux Concierge yawns and lets the bullet do whatever
[17:51] * @Intern [D] and Nizhaladax just already have their personal forcefields on
[17:52] * Purple Haired Kid tries to run but Kiyoko TACKLES the kid, trying to grab the gun!
[17:56] * Purple Haired Kid and Kiyoko wrestle for the weapon, while the other kids try to fight them too
[18:02] <D. Kakaku> O_o
[18:05] * Purple Haired Kid elbows Kiyoko in the face and tries to make it to the door but is grabbed by the legs by Shion ><
[18:06] <D. Kakaku> .... oh boy...
[18:14] * Purple Haired Kid and Shion end up throwing hands at each other.....
[18:33] * Purple Haired Kid lets go of the piece of the hotel that was used to swtich off Chat last night in the process of the fight
[18:41] * @Chateaux Concierge ZWIPS over there and grabs it
[18:41] * @Chateaux Concierge looks at this purple haired kid closely
[18:41] <D. Kakaku> what is that?
[18:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> Somehow this kid had a seitch that shut off my avatar
[18:42] * @Chateaux Concierge stores it in her cleavage
[18:43] <D. Kakaku> wow, is that where you put everything?
[18:43] * Purple Haired Kid is grabbed by the face by Shion, who grabs at Shion's face!
[18:43] * @Chateaux Concierge GRABS the purple kid hy the back of their shirt and lifts them in the air with one hand
[18:44] * @Chateaux Concierge looks them in the eye
[18:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes Daniel~ <3
[18:45] * @Chateaux Concierge examines this kid closely
[18:45] <D. Kakaku> what else is in there?

[18:45] * Purple Haired Kid has brown eyes and short purple hair in pigtails, wearing a purple stripped shirt and denim overalls.....
[18:46] * @Chateaux Concierge does an agre regression on the picture of Akane Ten'ou she had
[18:46] *** does not match
[18:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay kid, why did you have that gizmo
[18:47] * Purple Haired Kid can't really hear chat as she and Shion are currently having it out

[18:48] * Purple Haired Kid is lifted up!
[18:48] * Purple Haired Kid 's eye twitches in anger..

[18:48] * @Chateaux Concierge literally turns her eyes glowing red
[18:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> - *batman voice* TELL ME -
[18:50] * Purple Haired Kid digs in her pocket...and slams a device into chat, trying to distrupt her interface
[18:50] * Nizhaladax snatches it from the kid
[18:50] <Nizhaladax> Enough of that, brat.
[18:51] * @Chateaux Concierge pulls out a taser
[18:51] <Purple Haired Kid> GAH
[18:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> You gonna talk, or do you get the shock?
[18:51] * Purple Haired Kid grimaces

[20:21] <D. Kakaku> yeah, but I have a feeling it'll be a while before we get answers to that.

[21:03] <Kanri-chan> Why do you people always break my stuff??
[21:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> Why is it always children lol
[21:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> She was being a little s[BLEEP]t
[21:04] <Kanri-chan> Because children deserve kindness and patience that adults don’t
[21:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> Granted someone put an anger chip on her
[21:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> No
[21:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> adults desreve ALL the kindness for having to put up with kids
[21:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> She said her mom was kidnapped
[21:04] * Kanri-chan goes over and checks on the baby “I didn’t give this kid this bracelet”
[21:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> so I started looking for her

[21:07] * The other kids nod
[21:07] *** the bracelet looks like one that Kanri would have built but it was made by Chat
[21:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> I would never tase a baby
[21:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> ....babies are for kicking

[21:08] * Kiyoko taps her own bracelet...transforms back into a middle aged woman..then taps it again and is a kid again
[21:08] * Kanri-chan inspects the bracelet carefully to make sure it will function safely “does it hurt?”

[21:19] <@Yankee Gangsta Chat> Wake up~~~
[21:20] * Yakuza [Alleyway] coughs and sputters
[21:20] * @Yankee Gangsta Chat slurs her speech like a Yazuka
[21:20] *** Yakuza has moved back to the Atrium
[21:20] <Yakuza> hu-huh what?

[21:23] * @Intern [D] just...
[21:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh everything's lovely!
[21:24] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That makes me so happy! ^_^
[21:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> and how are you <3
[21:24] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka examines a few places in the Atrium, especially the tall spots.
[21:24] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakakku's room] goes to look at his VR device
[21:24] <Nizhaladax> (She's insane)
[21:25] * @Chateaux Concierge subtly creates and acticvates a mechanism that winches the yakua guy up and out of sight for now, into a nice little "playroom" for later
[21:26] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's suit's weapons stop aiming at him ONLY after HOTEL Chateaux does this.
[21:26] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka gives no indications of noticing the Yakuza person, though.
[21:26] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, I'm inside you, and healthy, so I'm doing wonderfully.
[21:26] * @Chateaux Concierge locks that door and leaves the man alone in the dark with bright, cheerful music playing that only can be heard in the room
[21:27] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Also, I followed the advice and undertook some medication infusions and hypnotherapy sessions to avoid panic attacks regarding that person you talked about. It was very relaxing, and enjoyable, but pretty intensive. I don't remember much that happened last night, but of course, that's fine. ^_^
[21:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh! Guests!
[21:28] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka waves to Intern (D) and Nizhaladax. "Hello! Nice to meet you!"
[21:28] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'm glad the theraphy's working~
[21:28] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakakku's room] packs up the VR stuff into a bag and heads downstairs.
[21:28] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[21:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, I feel wonderful. :)
[21:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Just as wonderful as ever.
[21:28] <D. Kakaku> mmhmm
[21:28] * Nizhaladax nods "I'm Nizhaladax. I think you've meet Intern."
[21:29] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hi Nizhaladax.
[21:29] <D. Kakaku> so, is that mountaintop Mural still there?
[21:29] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at Intern [D].
[21:29] *** Intern [D] is
More information about her is Here.
Her image Song is: Let yourself S K Y F A L L (Eminem + Adele).
Intern [D] is an IRC Operator - Channel Administrator
[21:29] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at Intern [D], a little confused.
[21:29] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OH!
[21:29] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Did I meet her last night?
[21:30] <@Intern [D]> Yuo did.
[21:30] <@Intern [D]> ^You did
[21:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> Do you mind if I test your conditioning?
[21:30] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, that must be why things feel so fuzzy. I don't exactly remember that, but I'm pleased to be in your presence again. If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know! ^_^
[21:30] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course, Chateaux. Where would you like to do it?
[21:30] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh---Hi Daniel!
[21:30] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka waves to D. Kakaku.
[21:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> Here's tine. The others can help me if anything goes wrong.
[21:31] <D. Kakaku> hi, Liza
[21:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'm just going to show you his picturre.
[21:31] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well of course. As you are aware, testing everything is one of my favorite things to do! ^_^
[21:31] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmmm, I'm getting a little warning.
[21:31] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's visor blacks out, and she cannot see.
[21:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...Okay, I guess you're not ready.
[21:32] *** Chateaux is notified that the programming inside Liza to panic when she sees that person was VERY strong.
[21:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay never mind that.
[21:32] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, I might be in a moment? I cannot see anything just yet, past this briefing text.
[21:32] *** The visor turns transparent again.
[21:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> So---what conditioning did you want to test?
[21:33] * @Intern [D] wants to try something...
[21:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I can give you updates on some of it. ^_^
[21:33] <Davina O`Cain> (That was a bit unusual.)
[21:33] <D. Kakaku> hmm
[21:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> We can do that another time, I think Intern wants to show you something
[21:33] * D. Kakaku looks at Intern
[21:34] *** Chateaux gets pinged that the hypnotherapy and medicine and exposure therapy is working, but full results would take time, and there is a recommended exposure technique that would best be advised, instead of doing what she was going to.
[21:34] * @Intern [D] pulls up images of the Mountaintop Mural and the Mural from te ship in the Harbor
[21:34] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OH, well, what do you want to show me?
[21:34] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Ooooh, pretty!
[21:34] <@Intern [D]> These murals that we've encountered
[21:34] <@Intern [D]> Do they provoke any kind of reaction in you?
[21:34] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Woooooow.
[21:35] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yes---appreciation! Who would go to the trouble of making artwork in the metalwork of a sunken ship?
[21:35] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Look at that---there are coral and algae integrated into that image!
[21:35] <@Intern [D]> Perhaps it was made before the ship sunk?
[21:35] <@Intern [D]> hmm
[21:35] <@Intern [D]> IT seems to me the images tell a story of some kind.
[21:35] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If that is true, then whoever did it must have touched it up, at minimum, afterward.
[21:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Maybe?
[21:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You'd need....
[21:36] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka queries how deep the water there is.
[21:36] <D. Kakaku> Intern, what about that mountaintop one?
[21:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You would need... gear.... or heroic stamina and strength, to do that with your bare hands.
[21:36] <@Intern [D]> ...I was getting there, thanks.
[21:37] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Look, it's showing...
[21:37] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, I've never seen that fruit before.
[21:37] * @Intern [D] shows her the mountaintop one, specifically the bit that looks like a map of another world
[21:37] <@Intern [D]> This map, have you ever seen anything like it?
[21:38] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka stares at it in deep contemplation.
[21:39] *** The Castle Mk LVI surrepticiously activates the noise-cancellation in Liza's headphones, and alters her visor slightly, to remove distractions.
[21:40] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....did you say there is another one?
[21:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It might be wiser to see the trends from both?
[21:41] <@Intern [D]> There are three apparently, but we don't have images of the first one, under a Pier
[21:42] <Nizhaladax> I could dispatch a drone
[21:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....
[21:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> LOok, there are stars in the picture.
[21:42] * D. Kakaku gave you pictures for the pier one
[21:42] <Nizhaladax> Or we can send Daniel to look at it.
[21:42] *** oh ok
[21:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You don't suppose that they are accurate representations of star positions, do you?
[21:42] <Nizhaladax> Wait we do have images
[21:42] <@Intern [D]> Perhaps?
[21:42] * @Intern [D] shows her all three images
[21:43] * @Intern [D] shows her the ones from the Pier, the Harbor and the mountain
[21:43] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If they were, you'd only need to do elementary fourth-order calculations to figure out where the perspective was taken from.
[21:43] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks really angry when she sees the one on the mountain.
[21:43] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> This isn't very nice at all!
[21:43] <spiritflame> Liza Sunrise-Suminaka rolls 3d6 [ 2, 1, 5 ]
[21:44] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka frowns (her suit crosses its arms), and says, "who would hate Chateaux enough to make THIS?"
[21:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> LOok how all those lines point to her like she's a spider spinning a web!
[21:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And with that nasty look on her face!
[21:44] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is obviously hurt and offended.
[21:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well... again...
[21:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Wait.
[21:44] * @Chateaux Concierge shrugs. "Maybe somebody I locked in a box and entomed for all time"
[21:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux, that actually looks---
[21:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Is that the slime mold?
[21:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, it sounds like they are overreacting!
[21:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> But look, this reminds me of the slime mold experiment!
[21:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Superimpose a map of Tokyo over that image!
[21:45] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[21:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> Slime mold?
[21:45] * @Chateaux Concierge does so
[21:45] *** Eliza's visor glistens as it does this.
[21:46] <D. Kakaku> you think I can still go there?
[21:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Aha---it's like the experiment where they used slime mold and fungus to determine the best path of underground tunnel infrastructure---the patterns in this images correlate to Tokyo!
[21:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> To the mountain, Daniel? I can transmat you there if you want
[21:46] *** The places where the "spider web" lines in the mountain mural link match the addresses of fabulously wealthy people in Tokyo---
[21:47] <D. Kakaku> sure, let me see this mural up close and personal.
[21:47] *** 20% of those famous people, whose dwellings are marked on this map, have disappeared without a trace.
[21:47] <@Intern [D]> Interesting. Does that give you enough data to calculate the tellar alignment?
[21:48] * @Chateaux Concierge transmats Daniel to the Mountain unceremoniously
[21:48] <@Intern [D]> ^Stellar
[21:48] *** The mountain is very cold on top.
[21:48] *** Daniel, roll 1d20
[21:48] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[21:48] * @Chateaux Concierge KNOWS XD
[21:48] * @Chateaux Concierge has not forgiven him for his lewdness
[21:49] *** D. KAkaku feels a little woozy, and is having a hard time catching his breath.
[21:49] <Nizhaladax> ...you could have given him a coat.
[21:49] <D. Kakaku> ohh... oh boy...
[21:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> No, no I couldn't.
[21:49] * D. Kakaku looks around.
[21:49] *** When Daniel looks around, he sees that this is a next-level Nazca-Plain type illustration. There are, indeed, lines that were not visible from space. It's insanely detailed.
[21:49] <@Intern [D]> - Chat. Send him some prrotective gear. -
[21:50] * @Chateaux Concierge grumbles and sends him some protective gear and a camera to relay his findings
[21:50] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Chateaux Mural Mountain, ??? ]
[21:50] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] puts it all on.
[21:50] *** It's very clear to D. Kakaku that there was no heavy equipment used to do this, and there are no indications of a big cooperative group. Either it was picked clean, or a single person did this.
[21:50] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] wanders around to find out where on the mural he is at.
[21:51] *** Maybe, they spent a very long time doing it. Or maybe they did scour it clean. There don't even seem to be any chipped bits of rock.
[21:51] *** Daniel, roll 1d20
[21:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> - he just wants to stand on my chest -
[21:51] <@Intern [D]> Let it go~
[21:51] *** hurry, roll 1d20!
[21:51] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 3 ]
[21:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> - Say that when it's s statue of you -
[21:52] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is, sadly, not standing anywhere near Chateaux's chest or body.
[21:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( well, that's the most false thing I've ever typoed. ))
[21:52] <D. Kakaku> (( lol ))
[21:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( Hold on, embracing irony. ))
[21:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( okay ))
[21:53] *** D. Kakaku, it turns out, wasn't transmatted down near the shape of Chateaux, or anyone else.
[21:54] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] begins running north, looking around some more, and taking pictures annd video.
[21:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Let me see...
[21:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> We could also try figuring out what location the Tokyo skyline looks the way it does in this mural here?
[21:55] *** D. Kakaku slides down some a slight incline, and when he steadies himself, he realizes that he's on the carving of an eyeball.
[21:55] *** D. Kakaku, roll 1d20
[21:55] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] ... woahhh~!
[21:55] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 17 ]
[21:56] *** Luckily, D. Kakaku (either through an oxygen mask being in the protective equipment, though he didn't mention putting it on---or just by sheer fortitude, D. Kakaku is able to move around without gasping for breath, for now)
[21:56] *** D. Kakaku realizes that there are actually images graven into the eye on top of the mountain.
[21:57] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] looks at the images and puts on his breathing mask.
[21:57] *** The images on the eyeball look like the map of the other world in the other mural.
[21:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> This is so strange.
[21:58] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] snaps pic and sends.
[21:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Underwater... on a mountain top. Does this artist want recognition, or not?
[21:58] *** D. Kakaku---you get it.
[21:58] *** D. Kakaku, probably, is the ONLY one who could get it.
[21:58] *** D. Kakaku recognizes something, which he is probably the ONLY HUMAN BEING WHO WOULD RECOGNIZE.
[21:58] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] takes a look to see whose eyeball he is on
[21:59] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] ehhh, is this?....
[22:00] *** D. Kakaku realizes that he's seen the mountains in that image before---and that they are not mountains. They are something that only somebody like him would have ever seen in person to recognize---they are a person's eyelashes, but what eyelashes would look like if you were the smallest fraction of an inch tall.
[22:01] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] ...(Isabella?)
[22:01] *** D. Kakaku quickly realizes something else. The imagery--the landscape that he saw on the other mural, he's seen that somewhere else, too.
[22:01] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] (or maybe..)
[22:02] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] that other mural...
[22:02] *** The land that the people are standing on are the EXACT shape of the muscles that make up the iris, if a person's eye were viewed from a microscopic size.
[22:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> He's moving in halting motions. Do youthink he is okay?
[22:03] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] (I think I got it!)
[22:03] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] wanders around some more
[22:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I guess not.
[22:04] <@Intern [D]> Chat send him some breahting gear.
[22:04] * @Chateaux Concierge sends him an oxygen mask and tanks
[22:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Say, Chateaux? I cannot help but notice that the skyline in this mural, here? They seem to be the perspective from this neighborhood.
[22:04] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] replenish my oxygen?
[22:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Wow, those are some B+ grade aerosol tanks!
[22:05] <@Intern [D]> From this neighborhood, or from the HOTEL itself?
[22:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Certainly from this neighborhood! Look out this window! The buildings match... well, except for those to that are smoking.
[22:05] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] if this is an eye, then whose am I on?
[22:05] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka quickly checks how long she has been awake.
[22:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Whew
[22:06] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] it's heither her, Chat or someone else... I thik it's her, but what if I'm, wrong?
[22:06] *** D. Kakaku notices something, the more he looks around---this was done with a whole lot of small strokes to break this rock. Not with mechanized tools, not with heavy industrial equipment. Somebody got down on their hands and knees to do this.
[22:06] <@Intern [D]> Can we pinpoint, basedonm the vantage, where the viewer would have been standing?
[22:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Im' sure we can! ^_^
[22:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It should be trivial!
[22:07] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka does her best to program her visor to see through Chateaux, so she can look at the different builtings as though the walls were not there.
[22:08] <spiritflame> Liza Sunrise-Suminaka rolls 3d6 [ 2, 2, 6 ]
[22:08] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka succeeds!
[22:08] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] it must have taken someone a very long time to make the whole thing.
[22:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Can you hear what he is saying?
[22:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I cannot seem to hear of smell very well right now.
[22:09] *** The Castle Mk LVI eases up on the sensory restrictions.
[22:09] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] ....
[22:10] *** The windo n the mountaintop starts to pick up.
[22:10] <@Intern [D]> He said it must have taken someone a long time to do all this
[22:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....Can we backlog the image, then?
[22:11] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] looks around once more, he thinks it's Isabella Santorini's eye he's on in the mural, but wants to make sure.
[22:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If it did take somebody a long time, maybe send a satellite back, or take time-lapse photos?
[22:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Maybe we could see them!
[22:11] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns to Chateaux, enthusiastically, "I really hope I'm helping!" ^_^
[22:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> You are!
[22:12] * Nizhaladax sends out a Transtemporal probe to the Mountain, moving it back in time at a fiarly brisk clip until activity on the mural can be detected
[22:13] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka tears up a little bit because she's so happy she can help her adoptive Chateaux. T_T
[22:13] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] if only I had a drone.
[22:13] *** There is no indication that D. Kakaku can figure out whose eye that is, at least not by himself.
[22:13] *** Others he is working with might be able to.
[22:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh now he wants a drone :/
[22:14] <@Intern [D]> The man wants a drone, end him a drone :P
[22:14] * @Chateaux Concierge pouts and sends him a drone and controller and readout screen thing
[22:14] *** Nizhaladax easily is able to find a spot in time where the mural is half-complete. It should be noted, though, that it has to use RADAR and other active sensing to do it, because whoever decided to do this actually waited until there was SNOW on top, and works through it.
[22:14] <@Intern [D]> You're in a mood today
[22:15] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] receives it and has it take off above him.
[22:15] * Nizhaladax reports this ti Intern
[22:15] *** Zooming in and observing footprints does show that a single person, occasionally joined by another, is walking around in the snow, but doesn't leave contiguous footprints. The time of creation can easily be pinpointed, though.
[22:16] <@Intern [D]> Working in secrecy, eh... and there are two of them. *cue star Wars Meme*
[22:16] * MiSTRESS_9 logs the creation time
[22:16] <Nizhaladax> ^
[22:16] * Nizhaladax did that
[22:17] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] has the drone go higher.
[22:17] <Nizhaladax> Is that... an eye?
[22:17] *** When D. Kakaku looks through the drone feed, he can see the outlines of robotic combat suits illustrated on the mountain.
[22:17] <@Intern [D]> Hmm
[22:17] <@Intern [D]> It's very detailed...
[22:17] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] .... Liza.
[22:17] <@Intern [D]> VERY
[22:17] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] ?
[22:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Er, yes?
[22:18] <Nizhaladax> Boss, this is crazy...
[22:18] <Nizhaladax> But depending on how much detail they put into that eye...
[22:18] <Nizhaladax> maybe we could--
[22:18] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] has the drone go south
[22:19] *** D. Kakaku's drone footage also captures images of Matsumi Kaze (who looks meaner and more suspicious than she normally does), there are also fruits to be seen to the south, where the drone now goes.
[22:19] <@Intern [D]> Chat see if you can get a retinal pattern match using the carvings in the "eye" as reference points
[22:19] *** Chateaux can do it.
[22:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> LOL
[22:19] <@Intern [D]> I'm serious will you try please
[22:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> This is never gonna work.
[22:19] * @Chateaux Concierge runs it
[22:20] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] wonders if the robotic suit in the mural is incompleted deliberately.
[22:20] *** Chateaux has to zoom in, and cheat by using imaging technology vastly superior to all of that found on earth, but by using the eye from the mural, she does, in fact, get results.
[22:20] *** The robotic suits in the mural are finished. They are streaking across the sky in the background of the image.
[22:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> what the s[BLEEP]t
[22:20] <@Intern [D]> What is it? What did you get?
[22:21] *** D. kAkaku has likely never seen anything like them, but OTHER people have!
[22:21] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] or is it Eliza?
[22:21] * @Chateaux Concierge double checks to conffirm
[22:21] *** The eye matches Eliza's eye.
[22:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> Eliza
[22:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's her eye
[22:21] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] looks towards the south
[22:21] <@Intern [D]> Does Sailor Enclave's eye match Eliza's?
[22:21] *** Note that it is a very NEAR MATCH for Liza Sunrise Suminaka's eye, but her body has been subject to more damage, and is a universe removed.
[22:22] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, ???] brings the drone back nooth
[22:22] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye ]
[22:23] <@Intern [D]> Chat, run those suit images through your database
[22:23] * @Intern [D] is also new to this dimension so...
[22:23] *** D. Kakaku is now scanning the portion of the mural that shows The Intern. Unlike the other people (Matsumi, Chateaux) her illustration doesn't indicate ill intent or malevolence. She looks the way she normally does. Specifically, this is Intern (I)
[22:23] * @Chateaux Concierge checks
[22:24] <@Intern [D]> Is that supposed to be me... of this Universe?
[22:24] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye] wonders if each and every person in this mural a complete image.
[22:24] <Nizhaladax> That's how you used to look, yes.
[22:24] *** Chateaux subconsciously realizes that the answer for this query will be painful to her. Does she view the footage anyway?
[22:24] * @Intern [D] can scarely remember a time when she had both yes
[22:24] <@Intern [D]> ^eyes
[22:24] *** They are complete images, as far as they fit into the composition of the mural.
[22:25] * @Chateaux Concierge does. She's seen a lot of s[BLEEP]t. She's already traumatised. She has cocaine
[22:26] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye] now looks north then south, looking for a way past the mountains that look like eyelashes.
[22:26] *** Chateaux realizes that she HAS seen the eyes of at least ONE Sailor Enclave, in perfect detail. The one that Eliza McIntash turned into, briefly, before Chateaux, in her hacked and compromised state, killed her with molten Nth Metal.
[22:26] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye] wonders if it's just 2D facsimilies or 3D
[22:27] * @Chateaux Concierge had infact mentioned entombing her in nth metal ealtier tonight LOL
[22:27] *** The retinal patterns match Eliza's, 99%
[22:27] *** They are 3-d facsimiles, in that they are carved 1-3 inches deep into the mountain.
[22:27] * @Chateaux Concierge compares the retina to what she saw of enclave
[22:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> //ooc Not recalling if Sailor Enclave was ever in her obvious form near Chateaux Concierge, whom she is direly afraid of.
[22:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( ^^ ))
[22:28] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye] wonders and goes south from the eye first.
[22:29] *** D. Kakaku wanders up and down hills. It's actually pretty tiring, though he does get very good footage. It's hard to see the whole picture from the ground. Also, he's lucky it's Chateaux's drone, because a lot of drones couldn't handle being on top of mountains, probably.
[22:30] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye] has the drone follow him as he goes south.
[22:30] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye] mmm, need an energy drink, oh why!
[22:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> ......
[22:31] * @Chateaux Concierge sends him the FOULEST TASTING RED BULL SHE CAN FIND
[22:32] * D. Kakaku [Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye] has a can for now... he's had worse drinks.
[22:33] <@Intern [D]> Will you stop tormenting him
[22:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> No :P
[22:34] *** Chateaux cans ee from he drone image feed that the mecha in the image are Koubu, and that they match the markings of the Senka Assault Squad.
[22:34] *** And/or are Selphers. Don't @ me.
[22:34] <@Chateaux Concierge> Those are Spirit Armors
[22:34] <@Intern [D]> I see
[22:35] *** The fruit in the mural includes peaches, but also another type of fruit that NOBODY WATCHING THIS FOOTAGE has ever seen.
[22:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> What are these weird fruits
[22:36] * @Chateaux Concierge chuckles as she realizes Daniel's air is going to be aout in a second
[22:36] * @Intern [D] has also been calculating this
[22:36] <@Intern [D]> Get him back here, Chat.
[22:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux! I did it!
[22:36] <D. Kakaku> [Chateaux Mural Mountain, Eliza Eye] what is that fruit?
[22:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> - Damn it -
[22:37] * @Chateaux Concierge transmats him back
[22:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sorry Daniel, you didn't die.
[22:37] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Chateaux Mural Molu... never mind ]
[22:37] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[22:37] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I figured out where the buildings in the skyline are centered, and the perspective that this was drawn from!
[22:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...I mean sorry, you were going to die
[22:37] <@Intern [D]> Where from?
[22:37] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns back and regards Daniel in his climbing and breathing gear.
[22:38] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at the air tanks appraisingly.
[22:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ER, sorry, I was comparing the design of his breathing mask with the one that I wear.
[22:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> The perspective matches an old theater here in Tokyo, called the... Grand Imperial!
[22:38] <D. Kakaku> they didn't last long
[22:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> Don't worry it happens to all men sometime
[22:39] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Er, what didn't?
[22:39] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka walks back over to the group.
[22:39] <D. Kakaku> the air tanks.
[22:39] *** THe floor only shakes a little bit as Liza (and her armorsuit) walk over.
[22:39] <Nizhaladax> Eliza was at the Theatre at one point, I believe.
[22:39] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka has a very surprised look in her eyes.
[22:39] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I....
[22:39] <D. Kakaku> well, did we get everything?
[22:40] <spiritflame> Liza Sunrise-Suminaka rolls 3d6 [ 6, 2, 5 ]
[22:40] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks sourly at D. Kakaku, for JUST A MOMENT, and then her expression brightens cheerily again. ^_^
[22:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It looks like you were able to capture a lot. Good job. It seems Chateaux gave you just enough time to get what was required. ^______^
[22:41] * @Intern [D] noticed the flicker of expression on Liza's face
[22:41] * @Chateaux Concierge notices Intern notices a lot for a woman with ONE EYE
[22:41] <D. Kakaku> okay then... maybe I can revisit that mural on another day, but for now.
[22:41] * @Intern [D] notices Chateaux is BEGGING FOIR PAIN
[22:42] <@Intern [D]> So let's review what we know
[22:42] <@Intern [D]> The eye is most likely Eliza's
[22:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, I mean, we are kind of on a time limit! ^_^;;
[22:42] * D. Kakaku takes out the VR Equipment and checks it.
[22:42] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka nods.
[22:42] <@Intern [D]> She and some other person, under cover of snow are possibly the ones who made the momenument
[22:42] *** It's fully-powered.
[22:43] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Possible.
[22:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hang on tho
[22:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> Where did those star chart thing send up liining up to
[22:43] * D. Kakaku puts it on his head and powers it on.
[22:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^things end up
[22:43] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks cheered, since Chateaux might agree with her opinion.
[22:43] * @Chateaux Concierge does!
[22:43] *** D. Kakaku cannot hear or see anybody in the room now.
[22:44] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka notices what D. Kakaku is doing.
[22:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ?????
[22:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> At the end of the mural
[22:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> the map
[22:44] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns to Chateaux. "Is he still helping? Did one of you give him that to look at the footage?"
[22:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> we were trying to determine those co-ord--
[22:45] * @Intern [D] wonders if they triggered a block
[22:45] *** I tried and tried for probably 15 minutes, but I couldn't find any star perspectives that match that one anywhere close to this planet!
[22:45] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka says that ^^^
[22:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay... hmm
[22:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Maybe it is random, or maybe it is from very very far away?
[22:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> so it's somewhere else
[22:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> Or in another dimension
[22:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I can certainly see several options going forward!
[22:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> First, you could just figure out who carved the murals. Time travelling back there shouldn't be too hard?
[22:46] <Nizhaladax> Well they hid themselves well on the mountain but...
[22:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I mean, you'd have to take certain precautions, but almost anybody could so it. Even I could, if you wanted. I'm always happy to help, Chateaux. ^_^
[22:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yes, but footprints!
[22:46] * Nizhaladax sends porobes to the other two and moves them back in time to record
[22:47] <Nizhaladax> True...
[22:47] <@Intern [D]> Niz, also capture the footprints from that one desolated mountain
[22:47] * D. Kakaku interacts with the VR once it boots up.
[22:47] *** The VR Headset D. Kakaku wears starts broadcasting what's going on in the room online.
[22:47] *** There seems to be no unusual VR instructions right now.
[22:48] <D. Kakaku> eh, hmm.
[22:48] * D. Kakaku rusn it off.
[22:50] *** D. Kakaku can see the people around him in the room, and hear them, and might note some unusual lights coming from certain people.
[22:50] *** This disappears, of course, once he takes the headset off.
[22:50] * D. Kakaku looks around, blinks and puts it back on for a bit, and looks around before deciding what to do next.
[22:51] *** When Nizhaladax looks at the cam-feeds from the other probes, she notices something immediately---there is no ship or boat at the location of the underwater murals, there's nobody seen surfacing above the underwater murals to get air, and there's also no bubbles coming up from somebody using a typical 21st century breathing apparatus.
[22:53] *** The headset broadcasts what is going on in the Atrium on Chateaux's wireless (presuming she allows it). D. Kakaku can see where it says "Hi, Daniel Kakaku" in green letters, but "no program loaded, in red letters."
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> hmmm, looks for a list of programs.
[22:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Excuse me, what are you doing?
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> I'm on a VR headset I gor yesterday.
[22:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> He's got a VR thing
[22:54] * @Chateaux Concierge allows it to connect and such
[22:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OH. Are you using it to look at the murals' images? That's pretty clever.
[22:56] *** However the person carved this (and the camera DOES manage to catch a glimpse of a humanoid figure near the carvings before they are finished), they have no problem holding their breath down there, and are not using boats or SCUBA gear that allows air escape.
[22:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Since I don'th ave that footage pulled up, what did you see?
[22:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Also... would you maybe like a warm drink?
[22:57] <D. Kakaku> It's not that kind of VR
[22:57] <D. Kakaku> and yes please.
[22:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Okay! I'm happy to help!
[22:58] <Nizhaladax> So someone got underwater without using a boat or traversing the surface of the water.
[22:58] <Nizhaladax> They used no SCUBA gear and either they didn't breathe or held their breath for a long time
[22:58] *** a metallic cup exudes from Liza's armorsuit, attached to the Castle Mk LVI by a small hose. D. Kakaku can see steam coming from the cup.
[22:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....
[22:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well... I mean, I could do that.
[22:59] * D. Kakaku grabs the steaming cup and thanks Liza.
[22:59] <Nizhaladax> They didn't have an Exo-suit
[22:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> With Chateaux's help, I mean. It could be a TARDIS symbiote like me? Oh, well, okay!
[22:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[23:00] <@Intern [D]> ...It could have been a TARDIS in humanoid configuration...
[23:00] *** The straw in the cup pulls a spicy, brown beverage of unknown nature up as D. Kakaku drinks through the straw. The longer he drinks without stopping, the warmer it gets.
[23:00] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at Chateaux Concierge.
[23:00] *** Chateaux Concierge is
More information about her is Here.
Her image Song is: 'Second Reality' (album ver) by Purple Motion .
Chateaux Concierge is an IRC Operator - Channel Administrator
[23:00] <Nizhaladax> Or a magus using teleport.
[23:00] <D. Kakaku> mmhmmm.
[23:01] * D. Kakaku keeps on looking for programs in the VR headset
[23:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ...who doesn't like Matsumi Kaze very much, but doesn't mind The Intern, and strongly dislikes Chateaux.
[23:01] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka pouts a bit as an afterthought. >.<
[23:01] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka smiles again.
[23:02] *** There doesn't seem to be a clear interface right now. D. Kakaku, roll 1d10
[23:02] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[23:02] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks nervous. <.<
[23:02] <@Intern [D]> ...Isn't Kaze friends with everyone
[23:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> Nooo....
[23:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> Man...
[23:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> too much cocaine...
[23:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> but I sort of rmemeber....
[23:03] *** D. Kakaku isnt' able to get the headset to bring up an options menu, no matter what he tries. "Take it Easy" does appear sometimes if he aggresively presses the buttons.
[23:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> someone did NOT like her.
[23:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I really want to help, but...
[23:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux....
[23:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> >.<
[23:03] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm
[23:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> Need to rest?
[23:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm afraid i'm going to turn into a liability to your efforts really soon!
[23:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> Go get some rest, Liz~
[23:04] * D. Kakaku starts being lighter with the buttons
[23:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'd feel really bad if that happened! But if you want me to help later, I'll do my VERY BEST! I'll even go check it out, if you want. Anything I can do to help, okay?
[23:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sure!
[23:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay os...
[23:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> So there was a time
[23:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> We were tryign to help Eliza
[23:05] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks really really REALLY curious!
[23:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> BACK IN THE DAY
[23:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> >.<
[23:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> and we went in her minf
[23:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> She did not like it
[23:05] *** Liza's helmet light changes color, a teensy bit.
[23:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> thought I was screwing with her
[23:05] <spiritflame> Liza Sunrise-Suminaka rolls 3d6 [ 2, 3, 3 ]
[23:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Excuse me, Chateaux?
[23:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> And I think she didn't get on with Matsumi either
[23:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes?
[23:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Would you mind, terribly, explaining this to me again sometime? I'd really LOVE to hear this story... but... I think the responsible thing to do is go, so I can help youlater. Alright? ^_^
[23:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> All right, night!
[23:07] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka takes a deep breath, and floats out of the room. Trying to be helpful now, by not helping.
[23:07] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has quit IRC (Wish me luck!)
[23:08] <@Intern [D]> ...why are you drug addicted I can't...
[23:08] *** D. Kakaku's headset broadcasts this.
[23:08] * D. Kakaku keeps on looking, but is relaxing a bit as he goes along this time.
[23:08] *** D.Kakaku, roll 1d10
[23:08] * @Intern [D] goes to an interface panel and starts manually searching chat's Data core for what happened there with the Eliza situation and her falling out with Chateaux over the mind intrusion
[23:08] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d10 [ 3 ]
[23:09] * @Intern [D] also looks up data concerning antagonism with Matsumi, and what happened afterwards
[23:09] *** Intern goes through the logs, starting at the beginning.
[23:10] *** Eliza first showed up after Simon Kerrick said that he was going to change.
[23:10] *** Eliza was seemingly obsessed with being "Gemini Sunrise' Understudy."
[23:11] *** Some people got sick of Eliza's presence. These people were.....
[23:11] *** 1) Eitak Razal (and family)
[23:12] *** 2) Adam Kanal, who pronounced Eliza as being "literally the worst," arrested her, and took her to Space Jail.
[23:12] *** scanning
[23:13] <@Intern [D]> (Space Jail...)
[23:14] *** Another Eliza showed up after this, though...
[23:15] <@Intern [D]> ( Another showeed up After... wait....)
[23:16] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm.
[23:16] <@Intern [D]> (Is one still in Space Jail... that signal...)
[23:16] * @Intern [D] keeps reading
[23:16] *** Some people hated Eliza for being Simon, and treated her as such. One night, Dispel Magic was cast on Eliza, and she started puking up black stuff.
[23:17] *** Attempts to help Eliza, who appeared to be dying when subjected to the magical disruption, failed, but Paisley saved her life by using her abilities.
[23:17] *** Eliza had a LOOOOOT of weird things happen to her at first. Like generating powerful gravity and magnetic fields with her body.
[23:18] *** Eventually, eventually, after Eliza was recruited to the Rising Valkyrie unit, there started to be several different personalities that were observed.
[23:19] *** One personality knew Gemini's moves, was duty-bound to Bushido, and was tepid on the subject of Chateaux. One personality was of sinister aspect, and could teleport, and would set of alarms in the Grande Imperial, and hated Chateaux's guts. The third just wanted to live inside Chateaux, and loved her dearly, more than anything, and prompted Chateaux to refer to Eliza as being "so needy."
[23:20] <@Intern [D]> (Three personas. Three Murals)
[23:20] *** Around this time, Eliza decided to become a witch, in order to fight against a terrible being who was going to destroy the world. Unfortunately, this being was Alria, who fooled everyone, and inflicted horrifying torments on Eliza, like getting her struck in traffic, and casting a spell that mostly skinned her alive.
[23:21] *** When Chateaux restrained Eliza and took her in for healing, and sedated her, Eliza said that this was the best thing that ever happened to her in her life, and that while she was restrained in Chateaux's care and custody, she "didn't have to fight" against the person she was afraid she was turning into.
[23:22] *** Unfortunately, when push came to shove, Alria easily won, and ensured that Eliza was blamed for being a necromancer (when Alria did everything, in service to free her dark god), and this wasn't helped by the fact that, after that spell, Eliza became more and more unstable.
[23:24] *** Chateaux sometimes went into her room to care for her, and found either 1) a fawning, frightened girl who just wanted to not have to be afraid and trusted Chateaux blindly, or 2) a highly-combative prisoner who didn't trust her at all, and accused her of being a monster, a spider, and all kinds of other things.
[23:24] *** Of particular note, Chateaux once said that she was going to extend the period of restraint and convalescence in a successful ruse to make the lying personality admit that they hated it.
[23:25] *** Eventually, Alria prevailed, and Chateaux was manipulated into burning Eliza to death with Nth Metal. Eliza, in a last-ditch effort to avoid this fate, turned into Sailor Enclave, Soldier of Desperation, and fought as hard as she could... but died.
[23:26] *** After Eliza's death, a statue was erected of her, and a funeral held, but songs in Eliza's voice were heard, and the statue turned out to be hollow. Eventually, another Eliza showed up.
[23:26] *** Eliza practiced many different arts, and was, for some time, travelling all around Tokyo---for SOME reason.
[23:27] *** It became clear, later, that there were threee personalities sharing Eliza's mind (as was discussed above), and the weakest one suffered and faced "pruning" and "deletion," so they fought to control the body.
[23:28] *** The Eliza that returned fawned and borderline-worshipped Chateaux, did her best to take care of her adopted daughter (which wasn't very well), and spent a great deal of time fearful that she'd have to fight another losing battle.
[23:28] * D. Kakaku looks around even more calmly now for any programs.
[23:29] *** Eventually, (skipping a lot) this first Eliza was transformed into a young girl, and Chateaux took human form, and adopted her, raising her (and later her adopted daughter, Brianna) in the hills of Sicily (Note: one of the satellites from last night is pointing at that location.)
[23:30] *** After this Eliza got her happy ending, though, ANOTHER Eliza showed up, showing no understanding of any of this, or of changing, and again fawned over Chateaux.
[23:30] *** This Eliza, however, was in fear of another entity, named Sailor Enclave.
[23:31] *** Eliza would go on to claim that Sailor Enclave was the most powerful of the vestiges of Simon Kerrick, by a VERY WIDE MARGIN, and that this entity was trying to kill her.
[23:32] *** It should be noted that time-lord tech was actually used to help Eliza, with Chateaux discovering that Eliza's brain wasn't developed the way a normal person was, with portions of it responsible for trust and love and fear being abnormally pronounced, and other parts stunted in a pattern that fit chronic fear and stress.
[23:33] *** Eliza would say that she was doing everything to try to prepare to fight Sailor Enclave, both in this world, and in the world of dreams, and almost all her waking moments (even in Chateaux's custody, were ruined and marred because of certainty that Sailor Enclave would eventually kill her.
[23:34] *** The Eliza that is upstairs, who has a robot body and an absurdly powerful armorsuit and bodyguard mecha-cat, is the THIRD (minimum) iteration of Eliza. She has declared that Sailor Enclave (NOT Simon Kerrick) is the most dangerous adversary she must face.
[23:35] *** Sailor Enclave, of course, had her own achievements by this point, and had created alternate worlds with cult-like healers, and, occasionally, people WOULD show up (sometimes investigated by Daniel Kakaku) who would spy on Eliza.
[23:38] *** Currently, the Eliza McIntash inside the HOTEL exhibits the following qualities: 1) believes that she can come back from dying, provided the phylactery was intact, and has been willing to aid Intern(D) in stopping Simon's other vestidges, ESPECIALLY Sailor Enclave, 2) Loves Chateaux with all her heart, and trusts her blindly, and exults in her attention and care, 3) shows no signs of multiple personalities, 4) has agreed to help Intern sort out the "Sweden" problem in 1666, 5) has an intense kinship with Liza Sunrise-Suminaka
[23:39] * @Intern [D] is taking this all in
[23:40] *** Eliza has mostly, MOSTLY, stated she feels largely safe after being given her unstoppable super-science dreadnought powersuit. She most resembles the Eliza that was injured by Alria, who declared that being in Chateaux's care and grasp was the only time she didn't have to be afraid. Eliza demonstrates more independence, but has refused to leave the TARDIS for years, citing her certainty that Sailor Enclave would destroy her.
[23:41] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm.
[23:44] *** The Intern FINALLY finds what she has been looking for. Eliza (or ONE of her personalities) became enimical to Matsumi Kaze after she set off the alarms for being evil, and through a series of other events. Eliza of those years was adversarial with Matsumi for the fallout of the events that made her quit the Rising Valkyrie Unit. Currently, today's Eliza doesn't express these emotions, suggesting that they aren't a core part of her makeup. Finally, often, when a new person tied to the phylactery that Simon made shows up, they are accompanied to the HOTEL by a prepubescent girl of indeterminant Asian descent. This is the case for Shiro, for Eliza, though not wholly present, such as the pack of vampires that showed up and could use magic much like Simon could.
[23:45] * @Intern [D] makes a note of that
[23:47] *** Intern notes that the number of satellite traces that she picked up during the flawed search for signs of Liza Sunrise-Suminaka (that seem to have homed in on her AU Alt instead) match up with the times that a new person related to Simon has appeared.
[23:47] *** There are TWO exceptions to this trend.
[23:49] *** Exception 1: there are no satellites that seem to have identifieably homed in on the mute iteration of Simon Kerrick.
[23:49] * D. Kakaku checks the VR software for programs again.
[23:49] *** Exception 2: The trace on Shiro Kuramoto keeps coming back with an error, like either something is flawed, or something is undetectable in space-time.
[23:50] *** D. Kakaku is able to find Beat Saber!
[23:50] * D. Kakaku puts on the Beat Saber program.
[23:51] *** This means that if there's a satellite homing into Eliza McIntash (verifiably in the HOTEL according to Chateaux's cameras) that is in geosynchronous orbit over the Hotel, and one homing in on Shiro Kuramoto (?), who can be seen in the HOTEL by Chateaux's cameras, that's above the Hotel...
[23:52] * @Intern [D] is naturally very suspicious about Exception 2 and tends to think the "undetectable" explanation may have merit
[23:53] *** There is also the satellite homed in on Palermo, in Sicily, where Chateaux's iteration retired to in order to give Eliza a life and childhood, and there is another satellite monitoring a mountaintop in Northwest America, homed in on.... something.
[23:54] * @Intern [D] is definitely formulating priorities for the next phase of this investigation
[23:54] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm?
[23:54] *** There's also a satellite camera that is, for some reason, zoomed in on a portion of the Appalachian Trail...
[23:55] *** And then, there was the camera that, ever-so-briefly, got a lock on a position far between planets in the Solar System, and couldn't be found again.
[23:55] * @Intern [D] suspects that is the "Space Jail" where an Eliza might be
[23:56] * D. Kakaku waits for beat saber to start.
[23:57] *** the game starts
[23:58] * D. Kakaku checks its options.
[00:00] *** It is like beat saber in every way.
[00:00] *** The game continues to broadcast what is happening in the headset's immediate surroundings.
[00:01] * D. Kakaku begins playing the game.
[00:03] * Shiro Kuramoto looks into the Atrium for a moment.
[00:03] *** Shiro Kuramoto has joined #suburbansenshi2
[00:03] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Shiro Kuramoto
[00:04] * Shiro Kuramoto looks around, stretches, and takes in the scenery.
[00:06] * @Intern [D] , Nizhaladax and Chat are in a corner
[00:06] * Shiro Kuramoto stretches from his balcony room.
[00:06] * D. Kakaku is away: continues playing
[00:06] <@Intern [D]> Hello again~
[00:07] * @Intern [D] Psychoactively commands her eyepatch to scan spacetime around Shiro
[00:07] * @Intern [D] observes any results
[00:08] * Shiro Kuramoto is carrying (and fiddling with) something that don't match any readings that Intern (D) has on file.
[00:08] * Shiro Kuramoto looks down, checking, and double checking the item he has in hand...
[00:08] * @Intern [D] saves tjpse results, and looks at what he is holding
[00:11] *** Intern realizes he's holding some sort of feathers...
[00:12] * Shiro Kuramoto is attaching them them to the boots he is wearing...
[00:12] *** Intern notes that Shiro's current height doesn't match his height on record for some reason.
[00:12] * Shiro Kuramoto finishes attaching the feathers to his boots.
[00:12] * Shiro Kuramoto JUMPS OFF OF THE BALCONY!
[00:13] <@Intern [D]> !
[00:13] * @Intern [D] checks - is he taller now or shorter?
[00:13] * Shiro Kuramoto seems to be falling much faster than he expected, and he winces as he approaches the ground.
[00:14] * Shiro Kuramoto lands with a crunch, gritting his teeth in pain, but he has no broken bones. He immediately lays down.
[00:14] * Shiro Kuramoto spits some blood into the grass, and staggers to his feet.
[00:14] <Shiro Kuramoto> Okay... only... in an emergency.
[00:15] * Shiro Kuramoto takes the boots off, and he is shorter. Shorter by more than the height of the boots. He sits in the grass of the Atrium, panting.
[00:15] * @Intern [D] runs over to him
[00:15] <@Intern [D]> Do you need assistance?
[00:15] <@Intern [D]> (Shorter. Hmm.)
[00:16] * @Intern [D] compares his current mass to his mass on record
[00:16] *** The mass is equal.
[00:16] <Shiro Kuramoto> Ah... thank you. I suppose I should have tried the other project.
[00:17] <@Intern [D]> (So he got shorter but didn't alter his mass)
[00:17] * Shiro Kuramoto allows her to lift him. He holds up the blue boots he was wearing. "I mean, the normal fall would have been fatal, but it still does hurt. I'm not sure how much they are going to sell."
[00:17] * @Intern [D] checks a skeletal scan to see if he modfied himself
[00:18] *** Did The INtern use this eyepatch to target the original Shiro Kuramoto for abduction when she first came to TCB?
[00:18] * @Intern [D] did not, but it's tied into the same systems that did
[00:18] *** There are all kinds of weird readings from the pockets.
[00:19] *** The skeleton is mostly okay, but you can see painful brueses and the beginnings of what could be hairline fractures from where he fell.
[00:19] * @Intern [D] scans for dimensional distortions
[00:19] <Shiro Kuramoto> Whew. I don't think I have had the time to chat with you.
[00:19] <Shiro Kuramoto> Tanhk you for your help. I'm testing some new equipment for emergencies.
[00:19] * @Intern [D] applies ointments and bone mending assistance from the medkits that can be found around te lobby
[00:19] * Shiro Kuramoto is carrying something giving off a dimensional distortion, yes.
[00:20] <@Intern [D]> You're welcome.
[00:20] <Shiro Kuramoto> Oh, uh, I'll be fine in a bit, but... thank you?
[00:20] * Shiro Kuramoto doesn't resist, since she seems to know what she is doing, and he did get hurt.
[00:20] <@Intern [D]> I'm surprised that with your usual excellent luck, you took such a tumble.
[00:20] * @Intern [D] is an excellent field medic. She fought in the Time War
[00:20] * Shiro Kuramoto laughs.
[00:21] <Shiro Kuramoto> OH?
[00:21] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well tell me this?
[00:21] <@Intern [D]> ...Perhaps that's why you are not so seriously hurt.
[00:21] <Shiro Kuramoto> What do you suppose the MAXIMUM damage I could have taken from the fall was, compared to the minimum harm?
[00:21] <@Intern [D]> Indeed, I thought of that after I said it
[00:21] * Shiro Kuramoto holds up the boots. "Boots of the Cat. Guaranteed to have the most beneficial results possible when falling."
[00:22] <Shiro Kuramoto> Try it if youlike... but... I would perhaps recommend my next project over this one.
[00:22] <@Intern [D]> Respectfully, I'll pass.
[00:22] <Shiro Kuramoto> Wise decision. Some things really do have to be tested under danger conditions. I knew itwo uld hurt some, but I feel like I have to be prepared for emergencies.
[00:23] <Shiro Kuramoto> SOmebody targeted me, months ago, and I was lucky to survive--or so I have been told.
[00:23] * @Intern [D] maintains a neutral expression
[00:23] <@Intern [D]> Shocking.
[00:23] <Shiro Kuramoto> I've been working to build up my informal little mercantile organization, Kuramoto Fabrications, since it was really laid low when I... well... I remember some, but not everything.
[00:24] <@Intern [D]> I suppose it's prudent to be cautious.
[00:24] <Shiro Kuramoto> Yes.
[00:24] <@Intern [D]> Is there any reason you can think of as to why yo umight have been targeted?
[00:24] <Shiro Kuramoto> I especially was working on something that could destroy barriers, since, well, everyone and I were trapped by one.
[00:24] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well, let me see.
[00:24] <@Intern [D]> (Let's see what he thinks of himself...)
[00:24] <Shiro Kuramoto> Part of me suspects competitors.
[00:25] <@Intern [D]> (Destroying barriers...)
[00:25] <Shiro Kuramoto> Certainly, my products have the capacity to radically alter the economic situation here, but I am happy to work for anyone who pays me.
[00:25] <@Intern [D]> Business can be cutthroat.
[00:25] <Shiro Kuramoto> ONE would think this would make me more harmless, not less.
[00:26] <Shiro Kuramoto> True. This is why I sometimes think that I might NOT have uniaue abilities. That there could be others standing to profit just as much, who want to stop my organization?
[00:26] <Shiro Kuramoto> Perhaps some people are simply jealous?
[00:26] * @Intern [D] shrugs from her shoulders
[00:26] <Shiro Kuramoto> If that is true, though, they have staggering resources. Even I couldn't break through that barrier in time.
[00:26] <Shiro Kuramoto> Perhaps I could have, perhaps, but I wasn't sure our donated supplies had the right materials.
[00:27] <@Intern [D]> The world is full of mystery, I've found.
[00:27] <Shiro Kuramoto> And the office that we were making use of was in a poor area.
[00:27] <@Intern [D]> Donated supplies?
[00:27] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well, yes. It's very much an informal thing.
[00:27] <Shiro Kuramoto> Just earlier that day, some folks I had helped out and impressed brought the pizzas they didn't sell, and I had enjoyed them with my acquaintences.
[00:28] <Shiro Kuramoto> I mean, i didnt' exactly OWN the building we were working out of.
[00:28] <Shiro Kuramoto> Its' just a thing that worked out fortuitously.
[00:28] <Shiro Kuramoto> A few folks started dropping by to volunteer their time, and they would sometimes have some tools or something I needed.
[00:29] <Shiro Kuramoto> I mean, it would be rude to refuse, and I always fairly shared the profits when we solved a problem.
[00:29] <Shiro Kuramoto> Heh, well, it was largely me. I'm a chemist, you see.
[00:29] <@Intern [D]> A very accomplished one, by the look of it.
[00:30] * Shiro Kuramoto looks up at the balcony for a moment.
[00:30] <@Intern [D]> (Did his luck factor play a part in his survival?)
[00:30] <Shiro Kuramoto> You are very kind, my lady.
[00:30] <@Intern [D]> (Was he resureected by the same means as the other Elizae?)
[00:30] <Shiro Kuramoto> I'm simply a successful businessman.
[00:30] <@Intern [D]> (The logs would seem to imply such)
[00:30] <Shiro Kuramoto> Wealthy would perhaps be generous, I do occasionally get very high-end donations.
[00:31] <@Intern [D]> (If eliza had three personas, does simon? Is this one of them?)
[00:31] <Shiro Kuramoto> I'd never sell them, of course. What faith would people have in me then?
[00:31] <Shiro Kuramoto> Besides, they are often very skillful ingredients in metal work if you know what to do.
[00:31] <@Intern [D]> A fair point.
[00:31] <Shiro Kuramoto> Even cars often have a bit of platinum in there, you know?
[00:32] <@Intern [D]> In the catalytic converters, yes.
[00:32] <Shiro Kuramoto> Ah, yes! Indeed!
[00:32] <Shiro Kuramoto> Mix things the right way, and you can make a great deal of money solving problems.
[00:32] <@Intern [D]> (Businessman, Necromancer, ____?)
[00:33] <Shiro Kuramoto> I figured I'd eventually get close to somebody and get a solid contract for everybody, but for some reason, the entire building was surrounded by.... well... I'm not sure what.
[00:33] <@Intern [D]> (Is "Eliza" the third?)
[00:33] <Shiro Kuramoto> I am confident that it has a weak point, though.
[00:33] <@Intern [D]> Everything must.
[00:33] <Shiro Kuramoto> I'm impressed that you knew about the catalytic converter. Do you dabble in material science, too?
[00:33] <@Intern [D]> I do indeed.
[00:34] <Shiro Kuramoto> That is splendid!
[00:34] <@Intern [D]> I'm something of an engineer, myself.
[00:34] <Shiro Kuramoto> Maybe we could collaborate on a project, if you wanted!
[00:34] <Shiro Kuramoto> That's wonderful!
[00:34] <@Intern [D]> That could be very interesting. I'm intrigued.
[00:34] <Shiro Kuramoto> See, people tend to forget that "amateur" used to be a compliment, a good thing, a person who loved something so much they taught themselves all about it.
[00:35] * Shiro Kuramoto smiles charmingly, "I have much more faith in a person that says they are "something of an engineer" than whoever claims mastery.
[00:35] * @Intern [D] smiles
[00:35] <Shiro Kuramoto> Perhaps the other thing I need to do is make something to help that girl who helped me out. She said I had died, can youbelieve that?
[00:36] <@Intern [D]> This place is home to much strange phenomenon.
[00:36] <@Intern [D]> While it stretches credulity, it could also be true.
[00:37] <spiritflame> Shiro Kuramoto rolls 1d20 [ 12 ]
[00:37] * Shiro Kuramoto 's gaze towards Intern [D] changes, but only for a moment. An expert on behavior would see it, though.
[00:37] <Shiro Kuramoto> Soooooo
[00:37] <Shiro Kuramoto> What do you feel most strongly about?
[00:38] <Shiro Kuramoto> You mentioned being fairly certain that everything had a weakness, yes?
[00:38] * @Intern [D] has to amend something in her background because her player is senile, she did not fight in the Time War.
[00:38] <spiritflame> Shiro Kuramoto rolls 1d20 [ 19 ]
[00:39] * Shiro Kuramoto gazes at The Intern. His eyes narrow.
[00:39] <@Intern [D]> I do indeed.
[00:39] * @Intern [D] answers that with an intensity ot match is gaze.
[00:39] <Shiro Kuramoto> Tell me about it?
[00:39] * Shiro Kuramoto is smiling.
[00:39] <@Intern [D]> Simple physics.
[00:40] <Shiro Kuramoto> Would you care to elaborate?
[00:40] <@Intern [D]> Everything has an origin, a means of assembly, either natural or... unnatural.
[00:40] <@Intern [D]> And anything that can be created... can be broken.
[00:40] <@Intern [D]> The trick is to find the shatterpoint.
[00:41] * Shiro Kuramoto nods, satisfied for now.
[00:41] <@Intern [D]> That fundamental part, which, if disturbed, returnes ordre to entropy.
[00:41] <Shiro Kuramoto> Water on rock.
[00:41] * @Intern [D] nods
[00:41] <@Intern [D]> Yes, the slow, steady erosive process.
[00:41] <Shiro Kuramoto> Yes. People forget that water wins in the end.
[00:42] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well, please have a pleasant evening.
[00:42] <Shiro Kuramoto> Perhaps we can speak again when you have time. Er, what did you say you do?
[00:42] <@Intern [D]> You as well~
[00:43] <@Intern [D]> I'm a soldier.
[00:43] * Shiro Kuramoto nods.
[00:43] <Shiro Kuramoto> Ah. That explains much.
[00:43] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well, as an inventor and businessman, I am scarcely at rest. One cannot maintain a reputation of great renown if one is not present, yes?
[00:44] <Shiro Kuramoto> Have a pleasant evening. Thank you for your help.
[00:44] <@Intern [D]> Fare well, I hope your recovery goes smoothly.
[00:44] <@Intern [D]> You're welcome.
[00:44] <@Intern [D]> (That look...)
[00:44] <Shiro Kuramoto> You seem quite capable. I hope I would be so lucky to benefit from your help again.
[00:45] <Shiro Kuramoto> Farewell!
[00:45] * Shiro Kuramoto walks (with a slight limp) away.
[00:45] *** Shiro Kuramoto [0] has quit IRC (Many people sell many things, but only *I* can sell you Possibility.)
[00:45] * Nizhaladax had watched the whole exchange
[00:45] * Nizhaladax waits for a bit till she's fairly cretain he's out of earshot
[00:46] <Nizhaladax> What do you think?
[00:46] <@Intern [D]> There's something. I know not what.
[00:46] <@Intern [D]> We'll find out in time.
[00:46] <spiritflame> Shiro Kuramoto rolls 1d20 [ 2 ]
[00:46] * @Intern [D] is away: we need to review what I read up on today
[00:47] * Nizhaladax is away: All right
[00:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> <_<
[00:47] * @Chateaux Concierge is away: Torturing Yakuza-boy for answers
[07:24] *** SYSTEM ANNOUNCE - Main Page updated with entry # 2625 - It's a Super Huge Announcement OF THE DECADE!!1 ***
[13:38] * Eliza McIntash [Eliza's Room] pauses the work she's doing on ways to help Liza Sunrise-Suminaka, and goes over to engage and possess her robot body that Chateaux made for her. Then she sits down and starts writing, her face possessing an odd mix of being relaxed but fiercely determined.
[13:52] *** D. Kakaku has joined #suburbansenshi2
[13:52] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa D. Kakaku
[13:53] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ D. Kakaku's Room ]
[13:53] * D. Kakaku [D. Kakaku's Room] is busy packing, trying to cover all bases.
[14:27] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[17:36] * @Intern [D] sends probes to investigate the deserted mountaintop with the footprints on it, sending some as far back as 10 years in the past to monitor the area
[17:37] <D. Kakaku> evening
[17:37] * D. Kakaku has packed his suit, his own drones, teleportation crystals, one of them stuck to one of the drones.
[17:40] <@Intern [D]> Good Evening.
[17:40] <D. Kakaku> how's it going?
[17:41] <@Intern [D]> It goes well.
[17:44] <D. Kakaku> not sure if there is more to it, but I've been packing my own things this time.
[17:44] <@Intern [D]> Well there is a location I want to investigate.
[17:45] <D. Kakaku> oh?
[17:45] <@Intern [D]> Once the timing is right.
[17:45] <@Intern [D]> The mountaintop without the mural, where an "Eliza" signal is coming from.
[17:46] <@Intern [D]> I say "Eliza" signal but it could as well be a "Shiro" or a "Simon" signal.
[17:46] <D. Kakaku> hmmm, you think we can get a 3D scan of the onw with the mural?
[17:46] <D. Kakaku> right
[17:46] <@Intern [D]> I Wonder if those three are vertices of the same Triangle
[17:46] <@Intern [D]> I'm sure we could, yes
[17:46] <@Intern [D]> I'll arrange it
[17:47] <D. Kakaku> a full deep one, in case we missed anything.
[17:47] <@Intern [D]> ...yes. A "full, deep one".
[17:49] <D. Kakaku> so, what kind of triangle are you thinking of?
[17:49] * @Intern [D] will have Chat do a full LIDAR / X-Ray / N-ray
[17:49] <@Intern [D]> Well you humans would normally say "two sides of the same coin" but a coin doesn't have three faces. Well, an edge, perhaps.
[17:50] <@Intern [D]> In that case, Simon and Shiro might be the two sides and Eliza the edge, if my theory of there being multiple personalities has any merit.
[17:51] <D. Kakaku> I see
[18:02] * @Intern [D] sighs
[18:03] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[18:08] <@Intern [D]> Well, the question is what do we do with all this information.
[18:09] <@Intern [D]> The Actuary just wanted to kill them all but that would just make things worse
[18:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> LOL Don't act like you weren't all in on the plan
[18:10] <@Intern [D]> I was until I realized the consequences would be worse than the problem I'm trying to solve.
[18:10] <@Intern [D]> That's why I deposed her.
[18:11] * D. Kakaku sits and watches.
[18:13] * @Intern [D] isn't doing mushc yet, just... for wont of a better word "vibing" until her instincts tell her it's time to act.
[18:15] * D. Kakaku is vibin' as well.
[18:22] * @Intern [D] is more along the lines of syncronizing herself with the web of time
[18:32] * @Chateaux Concierge is offscreen torturing that Yakuza guy for answers until he breaks
[18:39] <D. Kakaku> hmmmhmhmmm
[18:45] * The Yakuza Guy FINALLY breaks and starts babbling all sorts of..embrassing things..nothing to do with what Chat is looking for
[18:46] * @Chateaux Concierge tries to get info on this guy's gang and boss
[18:47] *** you get plenty of info.......and one interesting fact...one of the members is living IN The Hotel itself
[18:48] * @Chateaux Concierge demands to know who
[18:48] *** Ryoko Atsumi..the boss's daughter
[18:49] * @Chateaux Concierge thanks the guy, and unceremoniously drops him back in the alley
[18:50] * Chateaux Concierge looks at Ryoko Atsumi.
[18:50] *** Ryoko Atsumi is is a woman with long pink hair, a large exposed forehead, green eyes, wearing tough street clothes and a yakuza style air about her. She is Sailor Notus
Her image Song is: .
[18:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh it's Airstrip head
[18:51] * @Chateaux Concierge files that away for later
[19:02] <D. Kakaku> hmhmmm
[19:05] * @Chateaux Concierge is back
[19:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> What's up Mummer
[19:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^Hummer
[19:05] <D. Kakaku> well, might as well be Vibin'
[19:18] <D. Kakaku> just waiting right now.
[19:33] <@Intern [D]> Patience is a virtue.
[19:33] <@Intern [D]> ...What do you do in your spare time these days?
[19:34] <D. Kakaku> I just go outside these days, not sure if I want to explore a shopping mall or an anthill.
[19:35] <@Intern [D]> That's quite the contrast
[19:35] <D. Kakaku> yeah, it is.
[19:38] <D. Kakaku> especially when I wind up desiding on nothing by the end of it
[19:51] * @Intern [D] nods
[19:51] <@Intern [D]> Perhaps you should... what's that thing I saw some human doing the other day-- take up scrapbooking?
[19:52] <D. Kakaku> ehh?
[19:52] <@Intern [D]> It sounds like you need a hobby.
[19:54] <D. Kakaku> maybe, but that's somewhat boring.
[19:57] <@Intern [D]> More boring than deciding to do nothing at all and just sitting there?
[20:00] <D. Kakaku> if watching old stuff on TV is just sitting there, then yeah :P
[20:01] <@Intern [D]> That assumes old television isn't boring as well :P
[20:03] <D. Kakaku> you'd be amazed how often new episodes aired back then
[20:06] <@Intern [D]> ...well of course Old television would be new back then
[20:10] <D. Kakaku> yeah, but with how often episodes were made compared to today
[20:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> LOL today they s[BLEEP]t out 6 episodes a year and pat themselves on the back for a job well done
[20:24] <D. Kakaku> and in those days, depending on the production, it could be 6 episodes a Week, or even a month
[20:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> Izzat so
[20:30] <D. Kakaku> yeah.
[20:54] * ELIZA Mk I broadcasts to Chateaux that she's about to enter the Atrium a nanosecond before coming in the door.
[20:54] *** ELIZA Mk I has joined #suburbansenshi2
[20:54] <@spiritflame> konbanwa ELIZA Mk I
[20:54] *** ELIZA Mk I has moved back to the Atrium
[20:54] <ELIZA Mk I> Good evening everyone. ^_^
[20:54] * ELIZA Mk I smiles, and bows politely.
[20:55] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[20:55] <D. Kakaku> hi there
[20:57] <ELIZA Mk I> Hello friend. I am glad to see you, and that you seem to be doing well.
[20:57] <D. Kakaku> yup
[20:58] <ELIZA Mk I> I thought I would make an appearance at a space convenient for others beside Chateaux, and report on my progress.
[20:58] <D. Kakaku> awesome
[20:58] <ELIZA Mk I> I am certainly very proud to be of use to her, and helping somebody that she cares about.
[20:58] <ELIZA Mk I> Thank you. You are very kind.
[20:59] <D. Kakaku> meanwhile, I do want to check Mural Mountain again, but Intern wants to check the outher mountain as well.
[21:00] <ELIZA Mk I> Mural Mountain, you say?
[21:00] <D. Kakaku> yup
[21:00] <ELIZA Mk I> Also, which other mountain, and, if you do not mind, which iteration of The Intern?
[21:01] * D. Kakaku gives Eliza the mountain rundown and tells her which intern.
[21:01] <@Intern [D]> The Alternate, you might say.
[21:01] <ELIZA Mk I> Ah, greetings.
[21:01] * @Intern [D] retruns from what she was doing
[21:01] <@Intern [D]> Greetings.
[21:01] * ELIZA Mk I bows to Intern [D] politely.
[21:02] * @Intern [D] nods politely
[21:02] <@Intern [D]> There's a mountaintop in the middle of Washington State. It's a location of interest.
[21:02] <ELIZA Mk I> I've been hard at work on the solutions that Sakura helped me put forth, and came to report on my progress, and perhaps solicit ideas about which direction to proceed in to cure Liza, the other woman whom Chateaux clearly cares so deeply about.
[21:02] <ELIZA Mk I> I very much suspect that you can help in regards to the latter.
[21:03] <ELIZA Mk I> But, meanwhile, how are you doing. I greatly hope that you are doing as well as possible. ^_^
[21:03] <@Intern [D]> I am, thank you.
[21:03] <@Intern [D]> I'll do whatever I can to help.
[21:05] <ELIZA Mk I> Well, naturally, I wished to harm none, or even take the chance to do so, and thus I decided to make use of this body that was so kindly provided for me, and which I implored by incapable of even considering harming others.
[21:05] <D. Kakaku> well, what can we do?
[21:05] <@Intern [D]> ...what about in self-defence?
[21:05] * ELIZA Mk I miles serenely. "Thus, I have complied the final proposition while inhabiting this body, safe in the knowledge that I wouldn't harm others while creating magical agenda.
[21:06] <ELIZA Mk I> Why would I need to defend myself?
[21:06] * ELIZA Mk I smiles happily.
[21:06] <@Intern [D]> (Interesting.)
[21:06] * @Intern [D] tilts her head. "Apologies. I thought you were concerned about Sailor Enclave."
[21:06] <@Intern [D]> (How will she repond...)
[21:07] <ELIZA Mk I> To answer your question, though, Chateaux and some other dear friends of mine did bring up the possibility of very severe danger. They said that they would input a bypass mechanism in case of emergency, but I had very strong reservations about it.
[21:07] <ELIZA Mk I> You say "concerned about" Sailor Enclave. I wish to praise your word choice.
[21:08] * @Intern [D] nods slightly
[21:09] <ELIZA Mk I> Certainly, the fact that she is an incredibly potent force, who has shown extreme selfishness, enmity towards me, and is stronger than I could possibly match in every way while in my body, and I have spent a great deal of my existence, even in the embrace of Chateaux, which would otherwise be blissful, fixated on the harm that she would do to me...
[21:09] <ELIZA Mk I> ....but I wouldn't say I'm *afraid* of her now. Just concerned. As I would advocate others strongly be. But I'm not worried.
[21:09] <D. Kakaku> so, do we have that scan ready?
[21:09] <ELIZA Mk I> After all, even if she were to destroy this body, I have another one?
[21:09] <@Intern [D]> True.
[21:10] <D. Kakaku> mmhmm
[21:10] <ELIZA Mk I> I feel, perhaps, that this is being optimistic, as she can kill people through nightmares and turn them to stone and do things that you have not considered, but why shouldn't I be optimistic?
[21:10] * @Intern [D] checks to see if Chateaux;s detailed 3d LIDAR / X-Ray / N-ray scans of the mountaintop mural is ready
[21:11] <ELIZA Mk I> Certainly, if I were to fixate on her now, I would be less able to concentrate on helping Liza, who needs help *now.* I know that Chateaux would want me to do that, and not worry about Sailor Enclave right now. Luckily, that's exactly how I feel.
[21:11] * ELIZA Mk I smiles happily.
[21:11] <@Intern [D]> (That's certainly an impressive array of technqiues)
[21:11] <@Intern [D]> So how did you want to help Liza?
[21:12] <ELIZA Mk I> Well, there are two ways that I believe could be focused upon.
[21:12] * D. Kakaku nods and waits.
[21:12] <ELIZA Mk I> Sakura, in typical cunning, mentioned that while it would be wrong to *take* people's luck from them to offset Liza's curse of bad luck, we could certainly solicit donations.
[21:13] <@Intern [D]> ...reasonable
[21:13] <ELIZA Mk I> I think I have the best way to do that, which would be economical, reproduceable, scalable to the level of secrecy the Time Lords desire this establishment to hold, and easily deniable.
[21:13] <@Intern [D]> Go on...?
[21:14] <ELIZA Mk I> I would simply write a chain letter. Indeed, much of the text of the typical chain letter could be used, though the words would require a bit of rearrangement.
[21:15] * @Intern [D] looks at her blankly
[21:15] <@Intern [D]> A letter... made of chain?
[21:16] <ELIZA Mk I> Well, typical chain letters rely on superstition to threaten people psychosomatically to perpetuate a cycle of pointless labor. Probably. There is a chance that they are authentic, probability-based pyramid schemes. Naturally, threatening people with misfortune, the way typical chain letters do, would be immoral and unethical. But creating it so that they have the option to ignore it, the option to reproduce it, or the option to mail it back to a special address to activate it.
[21:16] <@Intern [D]> ...I assume this is an idiom?
[21:16] <ELIZA Mk I> Yes, but the reference of the idiom is unclear to me.
[21:16] <@Intern [D]> So it's a special message.
[21:16] <ELIZA Mk I> Is it a chain letter because one dare not break it, or is it a chain letter because it condemns people to perform a task with little reward while offering no hope of escape?
[21:17] <@Intern [D]> ...why not both
[21:17] <ELIZA Mk I> Indeed. Typical chain letters must be reproduced by the recipient, or ill fortune is to befall them, though good fortune is promised if the copies are made and spread to additional people.
[21:18] <@Intern [D]> From what little I've seen of Human "Social
[21:18] <D. Kakaku> hmhmm.
[21:18] <@Intern [D]> MEdia" this sounds lik the ideal use case for a FAcebook post.
[21:18] <ELIZA Mk I> Perhaps, with the assistance of a proper Gallifreyan or their sapient invention, an interesting study could be made comparing chain letters with pathology and epidemiology.
[21:18] <@Intern [D]> Oneof the one that begs for "Reposts"
[21:18] * ELIZA Mk I smiles dreamily. "That might be true, but I feel that a magic-user would need to enchant the physical letter."
[21:19] <D. Kakaku> eh?
[21:19] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> what about an enchanted symbol attached to the post?
[21:19] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte was listening as she walks in
[21:20] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> A sigil that has magick mbued in it
[21:20] <ELIZA Mk I> I'm afraid I know very little about the methods of electronics and their engagement with magic.
[21:20] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well it's more about the message than the medium?
[21:20] <ELIZA Mk I> I feel that, in my original body, I could craft a letter that could harvest or siphon luck from a person who activated it.
[21:21] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Who uses the post these days, though?
[21:21] <ELIZA Mk I> I certainly do have faith that you, my dear and knowlegeable friends, could do what you are describing if you attempted it.
[21:21] <ELIZA Mk I> Though, the method of mail would be deniable, and perhaps less likely to draw scrutiny.
[21:21] <ELIZA Mk I> I admit that it has problems with scale.
[21:22] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte thinks
[21:22] <ELIZA Mk I> A magic user, even one with little else to do, could only make a few such letters in a week. Time would have to be altered in order to have a great many, in order to offset a curse without harming the benefactors excessively.
[21:22] <ELIZA Mk I> Still, that is but the first option.
[21:23] <@Intern [D]> What other options do you have?
[21:23] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte sits on her divan and doomscrolls whilst the others are talking
[21:23] <ELIZA Mk I> Well, while it is for some reason difficult for me to describe at this time, there are, without doubt, other worlds where powerful magic that can break curses exists. Creating a portal to send a chosen group through it, to seek out and request such intervention, is also a possibility.
[21:24] <ELIZA Mk I> Indeed, there is a way that Miss Liza could go herself, though the task would be made more perilous by far.
[21:24] <ELIZA Mk I> People in other worlds make bodies to inhabit, or to wear atop their own.
[21:25] * D. Kakaku waits for the lizar/xray/nray results.
[21:25] <ELIZA Mk I> Those techniques could be adapted for Miss Liza, and she could be sent with companions in search of a powerful and miraculous cure.
[21:25] <@Intern [D]> So she would have a body...?
[21:25] <ELIZA Mk I> Naturally, this is more hazardous than the first path, as it entails risk in both travelling to, and adventuring, the type of world where certain kinds of magic is prevalent.
[21:26] <ELIZA Mk I> Well, there is a spell that can steal someone's body, and constructs that can take the place of the outer layer.
[21:26] <ELIZA Mk I> I know this because Simon Kerrick's memories of doing this to people were shared with some of his progeny, so they would visualize him victimizing others this way, and might have suffered significant trauma.
[21:27] <@Intern [D]> ...has he done this to anyone known to the people here?
[21:27] <ELIZA Mk I> Constructs can also be created that a person can wear. This might not be *necessary*, since Chateaux can make devices that can keep others safe, but it could help smooth social interactions.
[21:28] <ELIZA Mk I> Er, what did you say about people here? ^_^
[21:28] <@Intern [D]> Yuo said Simon had tortured some people?
[21:29] <@Intern [D]> Stealing their bodies and making constructs?
[21:29] <ELIZA Mk I> Of course. Many times. Or did you mean use the spell that stripped them of control of their body?
[21:29] <ELIZA Mk I> It is highly likely that he did this to people here, yes.
[21:29] <@Intern [D]> I'm concerned about any lingering effects on people here that we may not be aware of.
[21:29] <ELIZA Mk I> Indeed, some constructs can pass for living beings at a glance.
[21:30] <ELIZA Mk I> I really feel very relaxed right now.
[21:30] <ELIZA Mk I> Have you ever felt very happy that you do not remember something?
[21:30] * ELIZA Mk I sighs peacefully. ^_^
[21:30] <@Intern [D]> I do my utmost to not forget anything if I cna at all help it.
[21:31] <ELIZA Mk I> That's very commendable!
[21:31] <@Intern [D]> It can sometimes be painful.
[21:31] <ELIZA Mk I> So, with everthing in mind, which approach to help Miss Liza should be focused on?
[21:31] * @Intern [D] rmemebers the day she lost her eye and her husband
[21:31] <ELIZA Mk I> You seem upset.
[21:31] <@Intern [D]> I think it's far too risky to try an insert her into another realm.
[21:32] <@Intern [D]> I'm fine.
[21:32] <ELIZA Mk I> I feel I should point out that Chateaux could help you with that, but I feel confident youare too valiant to accept her help, giving what you said about forgetting.
[21:32] <@Intern [D]> I think we should work on the "Chain Letter" approach
[21:32] <@Intern [D]> ...There are some memories one should never orget. No matter how painful.
[21:32] <ELIZA Mk I> Yes, that is likely right--just running the risk of envering the WRONG realm would be very serious.
[21:32] <ELIZA Mk I> Unless...
[21:33] <ELIZA Mk I> Well, at any rate, I do support the chain letter approach first. I do feel I should point out that a suitable method to render her unconscious would make the journey go differently.
[21:34] <@Intern [D]> Imagine, however, if someone got a hold of her in the course of that journey and weaponizing her ill fortune.
[21:34] *** Did Chateaux scan the OTHER mountaintop, that didn't have a mural?
[21:34] <ELIZA Mk I> It is my understanding that this has already been carried out?
[21:34] * @Intern [D] DID have her scan, and she sent several probes there as well as one that's been there for 10 years.
[21:35] <D. Kakaku> can we get the mural into a model to scale?
[21:35] *** The mountain top (non-mural) seems to be home to some sort of homestead or a cult! They make no contact with the outside world, and one member goes down the mountain from time to time, performing feats that are seemingly impossible, but returning with provisioins.
[21:36] <@Intern [D]> (Interesting. Didn't Enclave make a cult...)
[21:36] *** Also, oddly, none of the people there who are occasionally seen in the snow seem to be adults.
[21:37] <@Intern [D]> What kind of Scale, Daniel
[21:37] *** This is a tall, high, brutal mountain. It's puzzling that anyone could survive atop it at all.
[21:38] *** If, for example, Chateaux Concierge had sent D. Kakaku to THIS mountain, instead of the one with the murals, the howling winds and blinding snow would have overcome him in a matter of minutes.
[21:38] <D. Kakaku> well, I'm thinking centimeter scale.
[21:38] *** His tears would have frozen when he began to cry.
[21:38] * @Chateaux Concierge CURSES HER BAD CHOICES
[21:38] <@Intern [D]> Centimetres.
[21:39] <@Intern [D]> That implies you want to shrink down.
[21:39] <D. Kakaku> yeah.
[21:39] <@Intern [D]> Is this the most efficient use of time?
[21:39] <ELIZA Mk I> It is not.
[21:39] <ELIZA Mk I> Sorry, perhaps you were not asking me. ^_^
[21:40] * @Chateaux Concierge emerges out of the floor halfway
[21:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> I have an IDEA~! 💡
[21:40] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[21:40] *** D. Kakaku notices a foul smell in the air, but it stops immediately when Chateaux speaks.
[21:41] <D. Kakaku> (what was that?)
[21:41] * @Chateaux Concierge creates a small Exosuit Daniel's size that is rated to survive the harsh enviorns of SPACE
[21:41] * @Chateaux Concierge sets up a holoprojector on it so it flickers and looks like Daniel
[21:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> Why don't we send him to the OTHER Mountain~
[21:42] <@Intern [D]> are you trying to help or get him killed
[21:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's rated for SPACE he'll be fine
[21:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> Whaddya SAY Daniel? Wanna have a mountain ADVENTURE
[21:42] <D. Kakaku> hmmm, alright
[21:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> YES!
[21:43] * @Chateaux Concierge opens up the suit for him. It's bulky and metal when the ologram is off
[21:43] * D. Kakaku blinks and steps inside.
[21:44] <@Chateaux Concierge>
[21:44] * LOL the character in there is named Daniel too
[21:44] <D. Kakaku> (( hah, yup ))
[21:44] <ELIZA Mk I> Wow, Chateaux, you sure are good making artificial humanoid machines! ^_^
[21:44] * @Chateaux Concierge flicks on the holoprojector so now it just looks like Daniel in winter mountain gear
[21:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah you and Liz gave me a lot of practice lol
[21:45] <D. Kakaku> I feel like some sort of transforming pretender or something.
[21:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...man those guys 100% got it on with human women
[21:45] <ELIZA Mk I> Well, I'm also complimenting your humanoid form, too! It also looks really nice! ^_^
[21:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> ANYWAY
[21:45] * @Chateaux Concierge scans the mountain to see if it's clear got set someone down
[21:46] * ^ Clear to
[21:46] <D. Kakaku> can it shrink with me?
[21:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sure
[21:46] *** There is a weather observatory near the top. The winds are very strong, and the paths are slick with ice.
[21:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> I assume your shink belt can handle things you wear
[21:46] <ELIZA Mk I> Can it recall him here in case of an emergency?
[21:46] <D. Kakaku> alright
[21:46] <D. Kakaku> yup
[21:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes
[21:46] * @Chateaux Concierge gives eLiza's suit a recall comamnd
[21:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> The suit is heavy so the wind should be all right
[21:47] <ELIZA Mk I> Can it keep its footing in the**
[21:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah and it's got flick thrusters and a transformation mode
[21:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^flight
[21:47] <ELIZA Mk I> ---In the snow and ice?
[21:47] * @Chateaux Concierge STOMPS a Typo Daemon
[21:47] * ELIZA Mk I recovers from her surprise at seeing the suit from the outside.
[21:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah he just needs to go slow
[21:48] <ELIZA Mk I> And can it keep him hydrated despite his exertion?
[21:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah and it's both waste recyling function too
[21:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's meant for humans to do extended work in SPACE
[21:48] <ELIZA Mk I> Does it include a method to keep him from feeling severe pain?
[21:49] <ELIZA Mk I> ^_^
[21:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> Err
[21:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> No?
[21:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> I mean
[21:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> I can add in some gasses
[21:50] * @Chateaux Concierge does some quick modifications to add in painkilling and "upper" gases
[21:50] * @Chateaux Concierge also adds in a "rampage mode" adrenalin gas (think video games)
[21:51] <ELIZA Mk I> I assume that it has a function that can stop the glare?
[21:51] <D. Kakaku> acid proof?
[21:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> If you need to drink suck on the straw in front of your face
[21:51] * ELIZA Mk I examines, comparing notes between her body, her suit, and D. Kakaku's exosuit.
[21:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> yrah the visor ill photochromatically dim
[21:51] * Daniel
[21:51] * Daniel's suit is far more primitive
[21:51] * it's more utilitarian
[21:52] * ELIZA Mk I is unable to cause harm to others now, so she doesn't say the thing that she might otherwise say if she weren't operating under those parameters.
[21:52] <ELIZA Mk I> Can we all talk to him while he wears it?
[21:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> It also will give you liquid nutrition. The suit will keep you warm / cool as needed
[21:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah we can see what he sees and even what's behind him from 360 degree cameras and he can hear / talk to us
[21:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> Everything is logged anfd recorded
[21:53] <D. Kakaku> ok so, are we ready?
[21:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> Do you feel ready?
[21:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> ARE YOU READY TO ROCK
[21:53] <ELIZA Mk I> Wow, this all sounds wonderful. Maybe I feel a little homesick. I feel very happy now, but perhaps I'd like to wear my suit, since I think the part I needed this body for might be complete. Chateaux, were you listening to me describe my ideas to help Miss Liza, or would you like me to describe them to you? ^_^
[21:53] <D. Kakaku> ready
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> I heard
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'm with Intern on this
[21:54] <ELIZA Mk I> Wonderful. I just wanted to check. ^_^
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> Also okay, Eliza,you ready for me to bean Daniel over
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^Beam
[21:54] <ELIZA Mk I> I see no reason to be concerned, if he is ready he should go. I was very curious about your design decisions, for personal reasons. ^_^
[21:55] * ELIZA Mk I turns to Daniel Kakaku. "Are you ready?"
[21:55] <D. Kakaku> yes, I am
[21:55] * Also it has a transformation mode like this
[21:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay!
[21:55] * @Chateaux Concierge TRANSMATS Daniel to the mountain!
[21:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> Try not to die!
[21:56] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Mountain ]
[21:56] <@Intern [D]> ...By Rassilon
[21:56] *** D. Kakaku is immediately met with a howling wind and blinding snowstorm. There are icicles all over the trail and his suit sloooooowly sinks down into the thick snowpack.
[21:57] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] ohhh, wow.
[21:57] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] starts inching forward
[21:57] *** The wind and snow are horrible. Ice quickly starts forming on the visor of his suit.
[21:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> /em remotre activates the heater to melt it off
[21:58] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] whew
[21:58] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] keeps on inching forward.
[21:58] <@Intern [D]> I'm impressed you're helping him
[21:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> Look *I* won't be the one who gets him ok
[21:58] *** There are steel bridges that are covered in snow and icicles. The ground cannot be seen because of the thick clouds. D. Kakaku is lucky he's in something big and heavy. If he weighed less he probably couldn't walk.
[21:59] <@Intern [D]> whart's that supposed to mean
[21:59] *** If he weighed less, he probably would get blown right off the mountain.
[21:59] <ELIZA Mk I> THis looks really interesting, Chateaux.
[21:59] * @Chateaux Concierge giggles
[21:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh it's interesting :3
[21:59] * ELIZA Mk I is happy when Chateaux laughs.
[21:59] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] inches forward to the bridge
[21:59] * @Intern [D] is just disturbed whne Chateaux laughs.
[22:00] <ELIZA Mk I> Its' making me really appreciate the suit you made for me, too. If it wouldn't be much trouble, do you think I could teleport out and make use of the suit for a while? I'm so grateful for all the ways youcare for me.
[22:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> Go right ahead
[22:01] * ELIZA Mk I vanishes as soon as Chateaux gives her permission.
[22:01] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] keeps inching to the bridge
[22:02] *** D. Kakaku 's suit reads that the temperature is 25 degrees below zero with a 67mph wind.
[22:02] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] ohh man, cold and windy.
[22:02] * @Chateaux Concierge turns on a minimap in the HUD in his suit to make it easier for him to navigate
[22:03] *** D. KAkaku sees something very strange on the bridge--footprints from sandals, instead of boots.
[22:03] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] eh? sandals?
[22:03] <@Intern [D]> That's... incongruous.
[22:04] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] keeps inching more forwards
[22:04] *** shapes emerge from the snow on the other size of the bridge after D. Kakaku is in the middle.
[22:05] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] is thinking of either ducking or shrinking, but inches more instead.
[22:05] *** A wolf emerges from the snowpack, and runs away from him, uphill...
[22:06] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] uphill?
[22:06] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] keeps on going slowly.
[22:07] *** D. Kakaku slooooowly walks up to the observatory. Then, suddenly, putting his foot down in front of him makes the snow fall into a crevasse, which he barely avoids.
[22:07] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] woah... might be almost time.
[22:07] * Eliza McIntash has moved to: [ Castle Mk 40,000 ]
[22:07] *** Eliza McIntash has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:07] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Eliza McIntash
[22:07] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] keeps going slowly, checking the weather.
[22:07] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] teleports downstairs. "Hiiii Chateaux! Hi Intern!"
[22:08] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Can you show me what he's seeing in my suit? ^_^
[22:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sure thing!
[22:08] * @Chateaux Concierge mirrors the feed
[22:09] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] hnngh come on
[22:10] *** The wind is horrible. Chateaux is actually having trouble keeping footage of the mountain from space, the weather is so bad.
[22:11] <@Intern [D]> Chat, switch to Qyuanrtun Entanglement Link
[22:11] <@Intern [D]> ^Quantum
[22:11] * @Chateaux Concierge switches the comms link to Quantum tunneling, using "spooky action at a distance" to instantly mirror the suit feed to her systems
[22:11] *** D. Kakaku notices that some of the snowpack has a blue tint.
[22:12] *** There's no sign of the sky or ground. The mountain just goes up and up and up.
[22:12] *** A huge wind gust batters the suit.
[22:12] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] this is making me glad that my suit has toe heaters! >.<
[22:12] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Oh gosh, can he hear what I say?
[22:13] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] blue snow?
[22:13] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] an d what do you mean' toe heaters'?
[22:13] *** D. Kakaku starts seeing signs of a building. A few nails, discarded clothing (!), and some empty packages.
[22:13] * the suit is nice and heavy, Daniel can probably hear the wind but it should do him no harm
[22:14] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] tries looking around.
[22:14] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] looks at the discarded clothing.
[22:16] *** The clothing is all for girls. It's got brand names on it, too. They are Japanese.
[22:17] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] thinks and inches more forward, now looking nat the nails and packages.
[22:19] *** D. Kakaku looks up, and, suddenly, all of the traces of habitation are gone!
[22:19] *** Even the nails and packages he was looking at are nowhere to be found!
[22:20] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] ehhh?
[22:20] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] hmmm
[22:20] *** D. Kakaku suddenly feels very funny... like something is trying to get into the suit with him, somehow.
[22:20] *** D. Kakaku, roll 1d20
[22:20] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] goes forwards more anbd more
[22:20] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d120 [ 68 ]
[22:20] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[22:21] *** There is movement up the mountain.
[22:21] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] huhh?
[22:22] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] keeps on going.
[22:23] <Voice in D. Kakaku's Head> .....You...
[22:23] <Voice in D. Kakaku's Head> I cannot believe it...
[22:23] * @Chateaux Concierge notices changes in his vitals
[22:23] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] huh?
[22:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> Daniel what's up
[22:24] *** The suit, provided it's able to monitor health and biofunctions, would definitely see that D. Kakaku's auditory cortex is firing....
[22:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> What's happening
[22:24] <Voice in D. Kakaku's Head> You came all this way...
[22:24] <Voice in D. Kakaku's Head> Unbelievable.
[22:24] <Voice in D. Kakaku's Head> You should have told me. I was just about to... well...
[22:24] * Voice in D. Kakaku's Head is now known as Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head
[22:24] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] ... about to what?
[22:24] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> Don't worry about that. Why have you come here? Did you come all this way to buy something?
[22:25] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] well, I was sent to see if there was a mural here, I didn't expect anything like this, though.
[22:25] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> Where did you even COME here from? Nobody came up the mountain.
[22:26] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> Mural? No. Just people. A few. Of my choosing.
[22:26] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> Now answer me, where did you come from?
[22:26] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> BE specific.
[22:26] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] I got teleported here from the HOTEL, Chateaux Teleported me.
[22:26] *** The signs of habitation appear to Daniel again.
[22:27] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> Go back there. AT ONCE.
[22:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> Who are you talking to
[22:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> what's going on
[22:28] * @Chateaux Concierge checks to see if she accidentally triggered the crazy gas
[22:28] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] go back at once?
[22:28] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> - OBEY ME. -
[22:28] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] I was told I wouldn't be teleported back
[22:28] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...did I tell him that
[22:28] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] or rather, I heard that.
[22:29] * @Intern [D] just looks at Chat like "no?"
[22:29] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] He's.... hallucinating?
[22:29] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] tries to turn around to inch his way back.
[22:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> DANIEL ARE YOU OKAY
[22:30] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> - I DIDN'T MEAN WALK BACK OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS YOU DOLT! -
[22:30] <spiritflame> @Chateaux Concierge rolls 1d20 for assist or leave him to is fate [ 10 ]
[22:30] *** D. Kakaku's auditory cortex gets more and more active. He's obviously hearing words.
[22:30] * @Chateaux Concierge is INDECISIVE
[22:31] * @Intern [D] can see the readings
[22:31] <@Intern [D]> Pull him back
[22:31] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> Let me get this straight. You were teleported here by Chateaux.
[22:31] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> From the HOTEL. Unbelievable.
[22:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> Que?
[22:31] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] yes
[22:31] <@Intern [D]> Pull him back you recalcitrant TARDIS
[22:31] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> And what are they doing in that place now, to send you here?
[22:31] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] o.o
[22:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> I dunno he seems to he talking to someone
[22:32] <@Intern [D]> ...monitor his vitals

[22:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> Man you're a bossy b[BLEEP]ch
[22:32] <@Intern [D]> ...I'm literally the boss?
[22:32] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> The wind picks up.
[22:33] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> And you are going off of this mountain.
[22:33] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] all relating to Chateaux and Eliza in some way
[22:33] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> ...I've had... almost enough of asking.
[22:33] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> Yes. Well. Congratulations, you found me.
[22:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> He's talking about us
[22:33] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> - You do know that I can probably make you leave? -
[22:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> He better be saying good things
[22:34] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] yeah, I know.
[22:34] <Girl's voice in D. Kakaku's head> - Damnation. -
[22:35] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] starts breathing heavily.
[22:35] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Maybe the sights and sounds got to him?
[22:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> His breathing is getting heavier
[22:36] <@Intern [D]> He still talking to someone?
[22:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> Unsure
[22:36] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] I can hear you intern, and it's yes
[22:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> Daniel com on if you can hear me are you talking to someone? Who is it?
[22:36] * Shiroma Miho appears next to D. Kakaku
[22:37] <Shiroma Miho> Why have you come here?
[22:37] <Shiroma Miho> Why were you looking for us?
[22:37] * @Chateaux Concierge can see this on the feed or no?
[22:37] * Shiroma Miho seems totally unaffected by the cold.
[22:37] *** Chateaux can see this person.
[22:37] * Chateaux Concierge looks at Shroma Miho.
[22:37] *** Shroma Miho is your average everyday Shroma Miho
[22:38] * Chateaux Concierge looks at Shiroma Miho.
[22:38] *** Shiroma Miho is Japanese girl with simple black hair that is wearing the loafers, seifuku, etc, of a junior high student student, which is a bit odd since she seems to be at least age 17. She has an upbeat attitude, a cautious gaze, and has no reflection or shadow.
Her image Song is: .
[22:38] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] well, we're not looking for you specifically, we were looking for the locations related to murals that we've found.
[22:38] <Shiroma Miho> There are no murals on this mountain. You are not welcome here.
[22:38] <@Intern [D]> Chat who is this
[22:38] <Shiroma Miho> Please go away.
[22:38] <@Chateaux Concierge> I think...
[22:38] <Shiroma Miho> Did you come here to buy something?
[22:39] * @Chateaux Concierge sends a test message to the suit. she is reading lips
[22:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> YES
[22:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> YOU WANT TO BUY SOMETHING
[22:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> YOU WANT TO BUY CHATEAUX A HAT
[22:39] * ^text message
[22:39] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] huh? Chateaux you want a hat?
[22:39] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] well then I guess yes, a hat.
[22:40] * Nakata Akane appears, covered in frost and snow, and walks from where she was hiding over to D. Kakaku. The suit can detect no heartbeat or sign of life.
[22:40] <Nakata Akane> .....
[22:40] * Chateaux Concierge looks at Nakata Akane.
[22:40] *** Nakata Akane is Japanese teenager who always returns eye contact unflinchingly. She is markedly taller than most girls, and has scars--for those perceptive enough to see them--that suggest she has been through a lot. She has no reflection or shadow.
Her image Song is: .
[22:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...these are those Vampire girkls aren't they..
[22:41] <Nakata Akane> Very well.
[22:41] <Nakata Akane> But we don't sell things here. This is where we live.
[22:41] <Nakata Akane> If you want to meet with us.... then go to the abandoned railway car on the 14th street in the capital of the state of Delaware.
[22:42] * @Chateaux Concierge texts TELL HER OKAY YOU'LL BE RIGTH THERE
[22:42] <Nakata Akane> We don't sell things from here.
[22:42] <Shiroma Miho> You were just leaving now, yes?
[22:42] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] I'll be right there.
[22:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> /.e EXT TELL HER YES
[22:42] <D. Kakaku> [Mountain] and yes, I was leaving
[22:42] * Shiroma Miho looks into the faceplate of the suit... but then relents when he says this.
[22:42] <Shiroma Miho> Good.
[22:42] <Nakata Akane> Good
[22:43] * @Chateaux Concierge transmats him to the location requested along with a few bars of gold
[22:43] * D. Kakaku [Mountain] texts s back already did
[22:43] <@Intern [D]> ...What vampire girls
[22:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> A while back there was someone who was acting just like Lyrica Hubert
[22:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> that's how we found out Lyrica was dead
[22:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> because we forgot no one had bothered to revive her for five years <_<
[22:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> And ther were all kinds of Vampire shenanigans
[22:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> and the Lyrica-lookalike was anb Eliza
[22:44] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ W Division St ]
[22:45] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: Inside of an abandoned train car, welded shut, on display at a park in Dover, Delaware
[22:45] <@Intern [D]> So they must have relocated to the mountain
[22:46] * @Intern [D] remembers the file: "Finally, often, when a new person tied to the phylactery that Simon made shows up, they are accompanied to the HOTEL by a prepubescent girl of indeterminant Asian descent. This is the case for Shiro, for Eliza, though not wholly present, such as the pack of vampires that showed up and could use magic much like Simon could."
[22:46] * Akagi Mizuho is inside the train car.
[22:47] <Akagi Mizuho> Oh! A customer! You come unexpectedly. What can the Shady Lady do for you?
[22:47] * @Chateaux Concierge makes sure the damn radio in the suit is recieving
[22:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> Give them the gold for a hat for me
[22:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> A nice plaid red windter hat like Pete wears on Pete N Pete
[22:47] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 9 ]
[22:48] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[22:48] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 7 ]
[22:48] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] They must be... crafting magical items?
[22:48] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] A Hat for Chateaux, a nice red plaid winter hat that looks like the one a guy named Pete wore in the... hold on.
[22:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yrah they used to have a shpop here
[22:48] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] shivers involuntarily, but the fact that she's in the suit (and therefore Chateaux is literally around her and making contact) keeps her calm.
[22:48] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] Which one, Chateaux?
[22:48] <Akagi Mizuho> What did you just say?
[22:49] <Akagi Mizuho> And what are you wearing?
[22:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> Little pete
[22:49] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] the Little pete, then, a red plaid hat he wore
[22:49] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh yes I bought e bed from them once because X and I kept breaking ours.
[22:49] <Akagi Mizuho> ????
[22:49] * @Intern [D] just LOOKS at Paisley
[22:50] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...TMI? TMI.
[22:50] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] I'm wearing a sort of suit.
[22:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> ..you're in your winter outfit disguide dumbass
[22:50] * @Chateaux Concierge sighs
[22:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> My bad
[22:50] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] ... she can hear you, but you can't hear her.
[22:51] <Akagi Mizuho> Yes... I... can see that.
[22:51] <@Intern [D]> Don't change it now they'll get suspicious.
[22:51] <Akagi Mizuho> So what kind of hat does this person want? A hat to appear human? A hat to let her read magic?
[22:51] <@Intern [D]> Just complete the transaction and leave.
[22:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> ..WAIT
[22:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> I WANT A HAT
[22:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> T
[22:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> THAT GIVES ME EXTREMELY GOOD LUCK
[22:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> AND CANCELS OUT BAD LUCK
[22:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> THAT'S THE HAT I WANT
[22:52] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] a hat.... that gives her Extremely good luck... and cancels out bad luck.
[22:52] <Akagi Mizuho> ....Oh.
[22:52] * @Chateaux Concierge sees a CHANCE
[22:53] <Akagi Mizuho> We can make you something to create luck... not a hat, though.
[22:53] <Akagi Mizuho> Your client really wants a hat?
[22:53] <Akagi Mizuho> Gloves would be better, actually.
[22:54] <Akagi Mizuho> That's what the Boss says.
[22:54] <Akagi Mizuho>
She's so smart!
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] .... did you hear that?
[22:54] <Akagi Mizuho> Hear what?
[22:54] <Akagi Mizuho> <.<
[22:54] <Akagi Mizuho> >.>
[22:54] <Akagi Mizuho> Are you.... crazy?
[22:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> I did. Gloves need hands... we can't use gloves.
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] I was talking to the person who wanted a hat
[22:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> It needs to be something that doesn't need hands
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] anyways, Gloves are note what she wants
[22:55] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] it has to be something that doesn't need hands
[22:56] <Akagi Mizuho> A stone that can fit in a pocket?
[22:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes
[22:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> Let's go with that
[22:56] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] something tells me that was already tried and failed.
[22:56] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] I mean, yes, let's go with astone
[22:57] <Akagi Mizuho> Alright. Come back in five days...
[22:57] <Akagi Mizuho> ....but it will cost you.
[22:57] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] how much?
[22:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Shoe her the gold I sent wit you
[22:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> I sent you 5 bars
[22:57] <Akagi Mizuho> "If you have to ask...."
[22:57] * D. Kakaku [W Division St] holds out the five bars of gold
[22:59] <Akagi Mizuho> You skinflint! That's not NEARLY ENOUGH!
[22:59] <Akagi Mizuho> How DARE YOU!
[22:59] * @Chateaux Concierge laughs
[22:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> Ask how much she wants
[22:59] <Akagi Mizuho> Let me see those bars. How heavy are they?
[22:59] <Akagi Mizuho> Unbelievable.
[23:00] * D. Kakaku [W Division St] hands them over
[23:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> Tell her you work for a woman of extraordinary wealth and taste.
[23:00] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] I work for a woman of extraordinary wealth and taste.
[23:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> Tell her I'll met her price.
[23:00] <Akagi Mizuho> 400 troy ounces.
[23:01] * Akagi Mizuho holds it up. "Stamped with... I don't recognize that mark. But it's gold."
[23:01] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] she'll meet your price of 400 Troy ounces.
[23:01] * Akagi Mizuho looks at D. Kakaku, absolutely shocked.
[23:01] * @Chateaux Concierge creates tha tmuch gold using a replicator and packs it in a box and transmats it to location outside the meeting
[23:01] * Akagi Mizuho 's mouth is still hanging open.
[23:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> Tell her to wait there. Go outside. Bring in the box
[23:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's on a trolley so you can pull it.
[23:02] *** Chateaux immediately realizes that 400 troy oz is how much ONE bar of gold weighs, and she's shocked that he has no clue.
[23:02] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] wait there
[23:02] *** The vampress is shocked, that is.
[23:02] * @Chateaux Concierge doesn';t car eand i sbeing flashy now XD
[23:02] <Akagi Mizuho> ....unbelievable. I didn't even answer you yet.
[23:03] * D. Kakaku [W Division St] heads to a door.
[23:03] <Akagi Mizuho> You would need fifteen bars to----WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
[23:03] *** The door is welded shut.
[23:03] *** As noted above
[23:03] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] it's outside
[23:03] * @Chateaux Concierge quickly adds in 15 bars more <_<
[23:03] <Akagi Mizuho> I'll be the judge of that.
[23:03] * Akagi Mizuho turns into mist.
[23:03] * Akagi Mizuho goes through a tiny crack in the floor.
[23:03] * Akagi Mizuho is away
[23:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> (Is this how mission impossible felt)
[23:04] * D. Kakaku [W Division St] blinks
[23:04] * Akagi Mizuho can be heard rummaging around outside.
[23:04] * @Chateaux Concierge left the gold in a crate on a pullable cart outside
[23:04] *** A coying mist comes through the one of the holes holding a missing bolt.
[23:04] * Akagi Mizuho is back
[23:04] <Akagi Mizuho> Very well. We accept your payment.
[23:05] <Akagi Mizuho> You will have your Stone of Luck in 11 days.
[23:05] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] thank you
[23:05] * Akagi Mizuho rolls her eyes.
[23:05] <Akagi Mizuho> Do yourself a favor?
[23:05] <Akagi Mizuho> Ask your boss to send another messenger next time.
[23:05] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] yes?
[23:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> Ask her how you will need to pick it up
[23:05] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] okay.
[23:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> ouch lol
[23:06] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] how will I need to pick it up.
[23:06] <Akagi Mizuho> Wait at a terminal in the Airport in the capital of New Hampshire.
[23:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> Which terminal lol
[23:07] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] okay, which terminal?
[23:07] <Akagi Mizuho> There will be a bag that has been "misplaced" outside the restaurant with the most expensive prices on that day.
[23:07] <Akagi Mizuho> It will contain your hat.
[23:07] <Akagi Mizuho> Good enough?
[23:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hat or stone?
[23:08] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] hat or stone?
[23:08] *** the suit picks up a tiny bit of motion outside. A single footstep. Then nothing.
[23:08] <Akagi Mizuho> Stone. Sorry. You are not easy to do business with. We didn't expect you.
[23:09] <Akagi Mizuho> Please don't intrude on our residence again.
[23:09] * @Chateaux Concierge pivots her own camera to look outside in reaction to that reading
[23:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay tell her you're leaving
[23:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> And thanks
[23:09] *** the space camera?
[23:09] * yes
[23:09] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] okay, I'm leaving, and thanks.
[23:09] *** a person appears outside the train car, then picks up the gold, then disappears.
[23:10] <Akagi Mizuho> Good enough. Have a happy morning.
[23:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh Ask her is there's someone they want to see
[23:10] * Akagi Mizuho waves
[23:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> If not you
[23:10] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] oh, one more thing
[23:10] * Akagi Mizuho sighs exagerratedly
[23:10] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] who do you want to see from my boss next time?
[23:10] <Akagi Mizuho> NOT YOU.
[23:10] * Akagi Mizuho turns into a mist, and leaves.
[23:10] *** Akagi Mizuho [0] has quit IRC
[23:10] <D. Kakaku> [W Division St] very well.
[23:11] * @Chateaux Concierge laughs and transmats Daniel back
[23:11] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Wow, she is mean.
[23:11] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I mean, I'm not shocked, but that's still mean.
[23:11] * D. Kakaku [W Division St] looks for an exi- never mind
[23:11] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[23:11] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Chateaux, they are charging you market price.
[23:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> LOL what crawled up their ass
[23:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> That's fine, gold is meaningless to me
[23:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's just matter in a particular atomic configuration
[23:12] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] It doesn't cost that much to make it... and... you might not be satisfied with the results?
[23:12] <D. Kakaku> by the way.
[23:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> I can make it the way humans make sweat
[23:12] * D. Kakaku repeats the words he heard for Chateaux to listen to.
[23:12] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] ???????!??
[23:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well I mean a) I had to try and b) I didn't want ot lie ot them about buying somehting
[23:12] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] is overwhelmed by curiosity.
[23:13] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] O.O
[23:13] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Uh... sweat?
[23:13] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[23:13] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] OOOOOH. You mean you can make lots of it, and it's worthless.
[23:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yup.
[23:13] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Not like you have to get hot to make gold.
[23:13] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Sorry. <.<
[23:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> I literally just rearrange atoms.
[23:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> So it's not scarce ot me at all
[23:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> I can chance any matter into any other matter.
[23:14] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Well, I guess the luck stone is better than nothing. It might only make her 5% luckier. I guess that's something, though, since the gold doesn't mean anything to you.
[23:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^change
[23:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah.
[23:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> Mainly I wanted to keep them talking
[23:14] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Heh.... yeah. >.>
[23:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sooo....
[23:14] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] ???
[23:14] * D. Kakaku bliks and feels like Chateaux ignored the words he's repeated.
[23:14] * @Chateaux Concierge explains about last night, and Liza and the signals and where they went and the murals
[23:14] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] O.O !!?!
[23:15] * @Chateaux Concierge wonders what the words were again?
[23:15] * D. Kakaku says the words he heard while he was on the mountain.
[23:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> So we were investigating where all these signals went
[23:15] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] nods.
[23:16] * @Chateaux Concierge nods to daniel. "So she called you a dolt, got it"
[23:16] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Oooooh, that's why you had something you wanted me to work on as soon as I came down!
[23:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah.
[23:17] * @Chateaux Concierge shows her imagesof the two murals
[23:17] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] !!!!!
[23:17] <@Chateaux Concierge> do these make any sense to you?
[23:17] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] gasps.
[23:17] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 16 ]
[23:17] * @Intern [D] watches these interactions
[23:17] <D. Kakaku> ok then...
[23:17] * D. Kakaku heads towards Intern.
[23:18] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] wonders if D. Kakaku is still wearing the suit that Chateaux made for him.
[23:18] * @Chateaux Concierge wonders what they were "About to" do
[23:18] * @Chateaux Concierge hasn't taken them off him
[23:19] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] chuckles for a moment.
[23:19] * D. Kakaku is still wearing it.
[23:19] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] goes back to what she was doing, and examines the murals...
[23:19] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] That's Intern. And there's Matsumi... she looks grumpy... but not nearly as grumpy as you do, Chateaux...
[23:20] <D. Kakaku> in case you were wondering, being launcheed off the mountain by making the wind so strong, that no suit you make could survive it.
[23:20] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Um... Chateaux, Daniel, can you do me a favor?
[23:20] <D. Kakaku> hmmm? yes?
[23:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sure
[23:20] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Would you do me a biiiig favor, and wear the suit that Chateaux made for you just a liiiiiiitle bit longer?
[23:20] <D. Kakaku> oh? why?
[23:21] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Pleeeeease? ^____^
[23:21] <D. Kakaku> .... sure.
[23:21] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I mean, I'm asking you very politely. I'm betting you are completely unable to take it off yourself.
[23:22] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] But... yes... just a few more minutes. Just chill out, and relax, and just wear that, okay? ^__^
[23:22] <D. Kakaku> ... okay?
[23:22] * D. Kakaku relaxes..
[23:22] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] points to D. Kakaku "Did you see the other pictures like this?"
[23:22] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Were youthe one Chateaux sent?
[23:23] <D. Kakaku> yeah
[23:23] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] That's one of the maini reasons I want you to keep your suit on, okay?
[23:23] <D. Kakaku> one on a ship, one under the docks and I was exploring the mountain one last night, but got teleportede back.
[23:24] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Yeah, I see. This one is from the docks. It's got Paisley on it, and that's Gemini.
[23:24] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] There are people there with crescent shapes on their heads.
[23:24] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] You don't see that often.
[23:24] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte perks up hearing her name
[23:24] <D. Kakaku> speaking of which.
[23:24] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks over to see what this is all about
[23:24] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] That's...
[23:24] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 8 ]
[23:24] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I don't know who that is, in that helmet.
[23:25] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Look---this one shows me!
[23:25] <D. Kakaku> huh?
[23:25] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] In a prison!
[23:26] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 9 ]
[23:26] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Hmmmmm... it's not coming to me...
[23:26] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] checks how D. Kakaku is reacting.
[23:26] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] then looks back down.
[23:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> A prison or your special room or... (where I entomned a version of you <P<)
[23:26] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[23:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> nothing nothing
[23:27] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Nothing!
[23:27] <D. Kakaku> ummmm.
[23:28] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I have no idea what that fruit is... but that one is a peach.
[23:29] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Theres' Bixia.
[23:29] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Those are the spirit armors!
[23:29] <D. Kakaku> so intern, about that model?
[23:29] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] looks over at D. Kakaku, and her thoughts are filled with temptation.
[23:29] <@Intern [D]> ...I think it's a bit more important to let Eliza interpret the murals?
[23:30] <D. Kakaku> ... alright.
[23:30] *** D. Kakaku starts to smell a bad smell...
[23:30] *** The smell goes away!
[23:30] * @Chateaux Concierge changes topic to `[23:29] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] looks over at D. Kakaku, and her thoughts are filled with temptation. 🍆 🍑`
[23:30] <D. Kakaku> oh ogd, what is that smell?
[23:31] * @Chateaux Concierge scans the atmosphere for scents
[23:31] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I don't smell anything?
[23:31] *** Chateaux detects nothing. Intern detects nothing, and Chateaux can tell that there's only the air in the suit that she's pumping to him.
[23:31] * @Intern [D] jus tgives Chat a withering gaze
[23:32] * D. Kakaku how abvout checking any of my vitals over the past five minutes?
[23:32] * @Chateaux Concierge reviews logs
[23:32] <@Intern [D]> So Eliza, forgive me if this is indelicate...
[23:32] <@Intern [D]> As I'm new to thi situation.
[23:33] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Look at all the rabbits and cats in this one?
[23:33] <@Intern [D]> But it is my understanding that there.. yes that is interesting
[23:33] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] look, when you look closely, it's actually chains!
[23:33] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Look at all of the--who are those people?
[23:34] <D. Kakaku> nasal vitals, maybe?
[23:34] *** There are Time Lords and Ladies carved into this mural. All of them were at the HOTEL at some point.
[23:34] <@Intern [D]> Is this a story? A diary?
[23:34] *** Chateaux can tell that D. Kakaku smelled the bad smell the moment after he suggested the needless plan to shrink down during the investigation.
[23:34] *** It stopped when he said nevermind.
[23:35] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...
[23:35] <@Chateaux Concierge> (Conditioning)
[23:35] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Look at the eyeball! o.O
[23:35] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's like the Eye of Sauron lol
[23:36] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I don't know who that is?
[23:36] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] But look, right there---
[23:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> /em and Intern look
[23:36] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[23:36] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] It shows you---over and over again, Chateaux, and everything is detailed... down to the... everything... except there.
[23:37] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 14 ]
[23:37] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] The shield.
[23:37] * D. Kakaku looks with them
[23:37] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] The shield that this person is holding.
[23:37] *** Eliza might be clueless, but that shield belongs to the Goddess Athena, who is clearly portrayed there.
[23:37] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]
[23:37] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] ....Theres' only one or two people who would portraythis.
[23:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> Where's MEdusa's head
[23:37] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] It's missing, see?
[23:37] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Why?
[23:38] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Why avoid that?
[23:38] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Worry about turning people tos tone with a medusa?
[23:38] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hmm
[23:38] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Ignorance on that one subject?
[23:38] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Running out of time?
[23:38] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] But....
[23:38] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Iv'e figured it out.
[23:38] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] The only person who would have hated all of these things, and loved the others.... would be... Simon.
[23:38] <D. Kakaku> hmmm?
[23:38] <@Intern [D]> What is it?
[23:38] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] takes a deep breath to stay calm.
[23:38] <@Intern [D]> Hmm
[23:39] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 16 ]
[23:39] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] ...or maybe not.
[23:39] <@Intern [D]> Why not?
[23:39] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] The only person who would have perceived some of these things---even more than Simon saw them... is....
[23:39] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Me.
[23:39] <@Intern [D]> So a version of you did this?
[23:39] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] looks at Chateaux Concierge, timidly and fearfully, through her suit's facemask.
[23:40] * @Chateaux Concierge gives her a reassuring smile
[23:40] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Well, I was... always afraid I'd turn into some kind of monster! That's why I made SURE my plans couldn't hurt anybody for gain when I helped Liza!
[23:40] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] But.... but---
[23:40] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] But I'm inside of here! And inside of you, Chateaux!
[23:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> Relax...
[23:40] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] SO.... you should be able to tell, for sure, that it wasn't me!
[23:41] <@Intern [D]> Let's step back for a moment.
[23:41] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 17 ]
[23:41] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] does calm down at Chateaux's urging. She smiles a little bit. "Heh... thanks. I know I'm right now. It's like... deeper than that, you know?"
[23:42] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] This must have taken forever to make.
[23:42] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Did you ever figure out when this happened? This must have taken a huge effort!
[23:42] * @Intern [D] checks what the temporal probses say
[23:43] * ^probes
[23:43] * D. Kakaku sits down.... or tries to
[23:43] * The suit is fully articulated
[23:43] * D. Kakaku sits down
[23:43] *** The Intern, as Nizhaladax did before, is able to figure out what time the different murals were created (especially the mountain and ship ones, the dock covers up one of them better than the others from surveillance).
[23:43] * Tho, roll 1d20 DK
[23:43] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d20 [ 18 ]
[23:44] * the chair doesn't break lol
[23:44] * @Chateaux Concierge reinforced it silly purple voice
[23:44] * @Intern [D] tells Eliza when they were created
[23:45] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] ...People could go back, I guess, and figure out when this happened...
[23:45] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Who would you want to go?
[23:46] *** This is an important decision. Note that Liza said she would go, and Shiro might go. There are several companions to be selected from.
[23:47] * @Intern [D] considers
[23:48] <@Intern [D]> When was the last time you left this place?
[23:48] * @Intern [D] doesn't trust Shiro enough to get him in on this
[23:48] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I left for a while after Chateaux gave me this suit to wear! It made me feel safer!
[23:49] * @Intern [D] thinks Liza is a probaballistic nightmare on any mission
[23:49] * @Intern [D] ALSO thinks her
[23:49] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Before that, though, I..... stayed here, because of Sailor Enclave.
[23:49] * "secret" might become a tremendous libaility
[23:49] <@Intern [D]> ...I would like you to be involved on this.
[23:49] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] ....Maybe we already know enough? Er.....
[23:50] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Okay
[23:50] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 2 ]
[23:50] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] trembles a little bit inside the armorsuit, and her eyes glisten with tears. She doesn't protest, though.
[23:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> You'll be welll protected!
[23:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'll be her ewatching over you and in there!
[23:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Besdies, you need to venture forth
[23:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Ships in harbor are safe
[23:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> but that's not why ships are built
[23:51] *** Eliza's very strange "cat" birthday present appears.
[23:52] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I know! That's the point!
[23:52] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Oh----I didn't hear the last part.
[23:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> And you've gor your buddy!
[23:52] * D. Kakaku blinks and yawns
[23:52] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Maybe I should go in the other body?
[23:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah. it's plenty resilient.
[23:54] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I dont' know how I'd talk, though.
[23:54] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I think... probably the other body is best.
[23:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> Whadyya mean
[23:54] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[23:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> It can talk
[23:54] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Well, I don't know how "magic proof" this suit is?
[23:54] * D. Kakaku 's eyes begin to slowly close.
[23:55] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] No no, Chateaux---I mean, it's underwater! I don't know how I'd talk!
[23:55] * Eliza McIntash looks at D. Kakaku.
[23:55] *** D. Kakaku is a 31 year old New Jersey native with sun-streaked light brown hair, blue eyes, and a lightly tanned complexion. A portly young man, he's never seen without his bulky wristwatch and hidden suit, He enjoys eating, games, and adventuring at small sizes. More information about him is Here.
His image Song is: Carry on My Wayward Son, by Kansas.
[23:55] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I guess he is not thinking of going.
[23:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh. Uhh... I can implant a subcutaneous communicator in your jaw?
[23:56] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Wow, really?
[23:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> it'll be small, you won't even notice
[23:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> yeah
[23:56] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Uh.... can you have done it a few weeks ago? And not have told me? Until now?
[23:57] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] So that we dont' have to interrupt what are doing for surgery time?
[23:57] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] ....and it could have happened already?
[23:57] * @Chateaux Concierge walks over to Eliza, smiles, and pats her cheek
[23:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> I just did it LOL
[23:57] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] huffs.
[23:57] * D. Kakaku drops the disguise and lays down, twistign the dial to make himself small.... falling completely to sleep right after.
[23:58] *** D. Kakaku has left #suburbansenshi2 (*Looks like a toy car now.... like a Hot Wheels.)
[23:58] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] I knooooooooooooow. I was afraid you would do it that way.
[23:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> You know me too well!
[23:58] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] No, I don't. <.<
[23:58] <@Intern [D]> I can't believe Eliza puts up with her
[23:59] * @Chateaux Concierge flips off Intern
[23:59] * Eliza McIntash [Castle Mk 40,000] doesn't notice
[00:00] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Okay.
[00:00] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] Im'g oing to go. And I'm going to get in my robot body, which you explained has stuff in it that work like medicine, and feel better while I am in, and that she probably cannot hurt, and if she does I should wake up inside you.
[00:00] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] ...and things will probably be fine.
[00:00] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] And if not... they can probably be MADE fine.
[00:01] * @Intern [D] taps on her wrist
[00:01] *** Nizhaladax [agentforhire@shada.gallifrey.sen] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[00:01] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Nizhaladax
[00:01] <@Intern [D]> I'll send Nizhaladax with you
[00:01] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] If you thinkt hat is best.
[00:02] <Eliza McIntash> [Castle Mk 40,000] CHAteaux, if you will teleport me to my room, I'll come back in my other body...
[00:02] * right where D. Kakaku was, there lies something like a toy car.
[00:02] <@Intern [D]> I think it's important you have backup in the field.
[00:02] * @Chateaux Concierge does so
[00:03] <Eliza McIntash> (( Okay, that's pretty funny. ))
[00:03] *** Eliza McIntash [0] has quit IRC (A childhood spent being loved is the greatest of all treasures.)
[00:03] * ELIZA Mk I is back
[00:03] *** ELIZA Mk I has joined #suburbansenshi2
[00:03] <@spiritflame> konbanwa ELIZA Mk I
[00:04] <ELIZA Mk I> Hi Chateaux. Hi Intern. I am feeling less afraid now.
[00:04] <ELIZA Mk I> I would like to make a request.
[00:04] <@Intern [D]> Yes?
[00:04] <ELIZA Mk I> I would like you to modify this body before I meet with Sailor Enclave. Just do not tell me what you made it do.
[00:05] <@Intern [D]> I'm not sure I follow?
[00:05] <@Intern [D]> "Modify" in what sense?
[00:05] <ELIZA Mk I> I don't have to stay conscious during it, if it is a major change. Just change something before I go, and don't tell me what it does. I feel like this is a good strategy, so that when I see her, I can claim that even *I* don't know what Chateaux programmed my body to do if she attacks.
[00:05] <@Intern [D]> ah.
[00:05] <@Intern [D]> Simple enough
[00:06] <ELIZA Mk I> Chateaux, I am not afraid of you. I think you would never hurt me in any avoidable way... but she doesn't think that.
[00:06] * @Intern [D] will push a firmware update that changes its self-defense strategems
[00:06] <ELIZA Mk I> Look at how she drew you.
[00:06] * @Intern [D] will not do that yet
[00:06] <ELIZA Mk I> LIke a spider! Next to all these monsters!
[00:06] <ELIZA Mk I> She.... she hates you.
[00:06] * @Chateaux Concierge shrugs "I was kinda flattered"
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> Makes me seem like an all-powerful orchrestrator of destiny lol
[00:07] * ELIZA Mk I turns to Chaeaux, smiling, "I have tried, at your urging, not to be overly offended on your behalf." ^_^
[00:07] <ELIZA Mk I> Okay---are you ready?
[00:07] * @Chateaux Concierge laughs
[00:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yup!
[00:07] <ELIZA Mk I> ER, am I?
[00:07] * ELIZA Mk I looks downa t her hands.
[00:07] <ELIZA Mk I> Very well.
[00:07] * Nizhaladax will utilize temporal camoflague and phase 1 second out of phase with reality
[00:08] <ELIZA Mk I> So, I need to travel in time first, right? Then travel through space?
[00:08] <ELIZA Mk I> Or do you do it in reverse?
[00:08] * Nizhaladax will literally not be "there" until she resynchs
[00:08] <ELIZA Mk I> I admit, Chateaux, I'm new to this.
[00:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> Both at once.
[00:08] *** Cat creatures is just... around.
[00:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> Time and Space
[00:08] * @Chateaux Concierge will send kitty too
[00:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> ReadY?
[00:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> 3...
[00:08] <ELIZA Mk I> Fortunately, I don't need to understand that, but I will remain hopeful you will teach me some day. I love it when you teach me things. ^_^
[00:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> 2...
[00:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> 1..
[00:09] <ELIZA Mk I> I'm ready...
[00:09] <ELIZA Mk I> Mother
[00:09] <ELIZA Mk I> /is gone.
[00:09] * @Chateaux Concierge sends Eliza, Cat, Niz
[00:09] * ELIZA Mk I is gone
[00:11] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: : Several weeks into the past; off the Japanese Coast
[00:11] *** ELIZA Mk I has moved back to the Atrium
[00:11] * ELIZA Mk I has moved to: [ Underwater ]
[00:11] * ELIZA Mk I [Underwater] walks across the bottom toward the sunken hulk where she knows the mural is being carved.
[00:11] * Nizhaladax has moved to: [ underwater ]
[00:12] * Nizhaladax [underwater] is using nanotech to keep herself protected and breathing, and she's out of phase
[00:12] * Nizhaladax [underwater] follows along discretely, relying on intern and chat to let her know if she needs to resynch with local time
[00:13] * @Intern [D] and Chat are monitoring
[00:15] * ELIZA Mk I [Underwater] gets closer.... and closer... no need to breathe (which therefore doesn't change the timeline, because no air bubbles were seen on the spy footage)
[00:17] * Nizhaladax [underwater] can't take readings due to being out of phase, so is watching the image of Eliza as replayed by the HOTEL. It is wavy and grainy like a VHS tape
[00:18] *** Eliza walks around the "top" side of the ship, since she knows that the carving is being done on the hull, to stay out of sight.
[00:18] * Nizhaladax [underwater] stays behind her
[00:19] * Nizhaladax [underwater] keeps a healthy distance tho
[00:20] * @Chateaux Concierge is on tenterhooks to see what will happen
[00:21] * @Intern [D] is making sure her probes are taking detailed multispectral readings of everything , no matter how slightl
[00:21] *** There is a monster that is carving and scraping the bottom of the boat using tools.
[00:21] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 9 ]
[00:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> ♦ stay strong eliza, don't need to get right up on it.
[00:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> ♦ just relax
[00:22] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] This is a Lacedon. A type of aquatic ghoul. It swims and eats flesh.
[00:23] * Nizhaladax [underwater] keeps a healthy distance too despite being out of phase, just out of instinct
[00:23] *** The monster, whatever it is, goes effortlybetween diffeent spots on the hull, hammering and chiseling and scraping and exchanging tools.
[00:23] <spiritflame> Sailor Enclave rolls 2d6 [ 2, 6 ]
[00:23] <spiritflame> Sailor Enclave rolls 1d2 [ 2 ]
[00:24] <@Intern [D]> ♦ clearly it's been pressed into service to make this
[00:24] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 19 ]
[00:24] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] No. It's her.
[00:24] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] SHe's changed her form.
[00:24] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] Into an undead creature.
[00:24] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] She can probably do this at any point.
[00:24] <@Intern [D]> ♦ fascinating
[00:25] <@Intern [D]> ♦ so these murals - or at least this one - are her doing
[00:25] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] The spell is called "Undead Anatomy." The thing is, this is the result of the *WEAK* version. She could only know this one, or could know a much stronger one, but desire this form.
[00:25] <@Intern [D]> ♦ but the question is why
[00:25] <@Intern [D]> ♦ ... be alert
[00:25] <@Intern [D]> ♦ this might be a trap
[00:26] <@Intern [D]> ♦ it's possible she's made these to draw our attention
[00:26] * @Intern [D] pushes the firmware update ot the suit
[00:27] * @Intern [D] ALSO sets an immediate evacuation recall protocol on it in case Eliza is put in mortal peril
[00:27] <Nizhaladax> [underwater] ♦ Understood
[00:28] * ELIZA Mk I [Underwater] tries to sneak a little closer.
[00:28] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 3 ]
[00:28] <spiritflame> Sailor Enclave rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[00:28] *** The lacedon whirls around.
[00:29] <@Intern [D]> ♦ don't push it.
[00:29] <@Intern [D]> ♦ fratz
[00:29] * Sailor Enclave looks at Eliza Mk I.
[00:29] *** Eliza Mk I is , apparently, Eliza McIntash, and looks exactly like her in every way.
Her image Song is: .
[00:29] <Sailor Enclave> [City] ....
[00:29] * Sailor Enclave has moved to: [ Underwater ]

[00:31] *** Something else in the water starts moving toward Eliza along the bottom.
[00:31] * Nizhaladax [underwater] looks down at that
[00:32] *** It seems to be some kind of seaweed tangle or metal diving suit, and it's going straight for Eliza.
[00:32] * Nizhaladax [underwater] fiddles with the Quantum Forge in her pocket and programs it to start building an Nth metal net. But it will take about 10 minutes to do
[00:33] * Nizhaladax [underwater] quickly swims towards it, and rephases just wnough to toss the probability f[BLEEP]king dice at the thing
[00:33] * Sailor Enclave [Underwater] swims toward the surface of the wreck as swiftly as possible!
[00:33] * Nizhaladax [underwater] then phases back into cammo
[00:33] *** Whatevert hat thing is, swims toward Eliza as fast as is possible.
[00:34] * Nizhaladax [underwater] is trying to use the probability f[BLEEP]king device to make the thing have extremely bad luck at what it's trying to do
[00:35] *** Nizhaladax has dropped Incredibly Cursed Probability F[BLEEP]king Dice
[00:35] * Sailor Enclave [Underwater] swims and swims and swims toward the surface...
[00:36] * ??? now has a rapier in it's hand. (a pressure change is picked up at this time)
[00:36] * Nizhaladax [underwater] also grabs her blade, if the dice fail she'll need to fight
[00:37] * ELIZA Mk I [Underwater] turns and sees this thing.
[00:37] <spiritflame> ELIZA Mk I rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]
[00:37] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] Nimblewright!
[00:37] <Nizhaladax> [underwater] ♦ Eliza I'll buy you time
[00:37] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] It's a construct! Be careful, it's smart!
[00:37] <Nizhaladax> [underwater] ♦ Got it
[00:38] * ??? suddenly accelerates to twice it's speed, but then falls down on a submerged pipe buried in the sediment.
[00:38] <spiritflame> Sailor Enclave rolls 2d6 [ 2, 2 ]
[00:38] * Sailor Enclave [Underwater] keeps swimming toward the surface
[00:39] * ??? unhesitatingly swims toward Eliza
[00:39] * ELIZA Mk I [Underwater] puts her hands up, showing she is unarmed.
[00:39] * Nizhaladax [underwater] preps a capsule to holf the Nth metal net the forge is making, it should be ready at :42
[00:39] * ELIZA Mk I [Underwater] is shaking her head.
[00:39] <spiritflame> Sailor Enclave rolls 2d6 [ 3, 4 ]
[00:39] * Nizhaladax [underwater] holds off
[00:39] * Sailor Enclave [Underwater] breaks the water's surface, assumes her true form, and IMMEDIATELY plane shifts away!
[00:40] * ??? gets closer... and closer...
[00:40] <spiritflame> ??? rolls 1d20 [ 2 ]
[00:40] * Nizhaladax [underwater] makes her way closer quickl,y blade at the ready just in case
[00:40] * ??? , having HORRIBLE LUCK, gets its rapier caught on a chain on the bottom.
[00:41] <Nizhaladax> [underwater] ♦ What should we do with it Eliza? We could probably just leave
[00:41] * ELIZA Mk I [Underwater] glows with arcane energy!
[00:41] *** Nvm, the ??? does that.
[00:41] * ??? pulls it free, and now has a rapier extending from where BOTH hands would be.
[00:41] <spiritflame> ??? rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[00:41] <Nizhaladax> [underwater] ♦ Tch
[00:41] <spiritflame> ??? rolls 1d20 [ 3 ]

[00:45] * ??? takes another couple of stabs, which would maim a normal person's body, but it cannot hurt Eliza... it rushes away across the seabed with inhuman speed.
[00:45] *** ??? has quit IRC
[00:45] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] I don't think the negotiations went well, Chateaux...
[00:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> ♦ Well we didn't know for sure it would be her.
[00:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> ♦ Get back here, we'll think of something
[00:46] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] She has built a shapeshifting construct called a Nimblewright.
[00:46] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] They are even faster on land.
[00:47] <@Intern [D]> ♦ well we know more than we did before. That's something
[00:47] <ELIZA Mk I> [Underwater] Cold and fire can really harm them, at least.
