[15:07] <Yaijinden> Hmm? Hmm.
[20:44] * Mei Tanaka skids the car to a stop in front of a small shrine.
[20:44] <Matsumi Kaze> that was fast
[20:44] <Mei Tanaka> I'm good with fast.
[20:44] <Matsumi Kaze> I can tell
[20:44] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Yay!
[20:45] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Okay okay.
[20:45] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I'm gonna go be nosy.
[20:45] *** @DisgruntledDuelist [??Duelist@DMProleague.co.jp] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:45] *** @Diamond Dice Darkness sets mode +o @DisgruntledDuelist
[20:45] <@spiritflame> Greetings @DisgruntledDuelist *** Happy Showa Day [Golden Week]!!
[20:45] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I think you guys should look around, see if you find anything off
[20:45] <Matsumi Kaze> no problem
[20:46] <Mei Tanaka> Y'all heard her get outta my car and do stuff that's useful.
[20:46] <Matsumi Kaze> hey
[20:46] * Matsumi Kaze hops out "stop being rude"
[20:46] <Matsumi Kaze> hmm..
[20:46] * @DisgruntledDuelist hops out, as he and shay-chan shaggy and scooby this s[BLEEP]t
[20:46] * Mei Tanaka snorts.
[20:46] <Mei Tanaka> Ya obviously don't know me, crazylady!
[20:47] <Matsumi Kaze> neither do you know me
[20:47] * Matsumi Kaze looks around
[20:47] <Mei Tanaka> Also ya didn't have'ta come. :P
[20:47] * Mei Tanaka slings her bow back over her shoulder, wanders through the gate.
[20:47] <Matsumi Kaze> no but I thought it might be fun
[20:48] * [H!P]Allison Blitz fixes her skirt, hair and make up, and walks up the steps.
[20:48] * Matsumi Kaze blinks once, her eyes glowing green as she looks around
[20:48] <@DisgruntledDuelist> So, where was the s[BLEEP]t diddly diddle at?
[20:48] <Mei Tanaka> He's usually out sweepin' by now. Should be out front if yer lucky.
[20:48] * [H!P]Allison Blitz nods.
[20:48] <Mei Tanaka> Ah drop Yun and Hisa-chan off all th'time 'round this spot.
[20:48] <Matsumi Kaze> hmm
[20:49] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Hello?
[20:49] * @DisgruntledDuelist scans for peoples
[20:50] * Matsumi Kaze senses the air around her for any sort of movement
[20:50] *** Up the steps is an older man in priest's robes, broom in hand. A carefully trimmed beard covers a strong, square jaw, shoulders broad and strong. Long, scraggily blue hair is tied back away from his eyes.
[20:50] <Suu> (( Is it too late to join in? ))
[20:50] *** "Ah, a visitor. Good evening, and welcome."
[20:51] *** Nah sneak in
[20:51] <Matsumi Kaze> seems calm enough...
[20:51] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Hello! I'm Allison Lane, reporter for the Japan Times.
[20:51] * Matsumi Kaze blinks once and her eyes turn back to normal
[20:51] * [H!P]Allison Blitz bows, and extends her hand.
[20:51] * Suu looks up at Mike and Shay-chan
[20:51] *** He smiles, setting the broom aside at the steps before bowing, then shaking Allison's hand.
[20:52] * Matsumi Kaze quietly listens
[20:52] *** "It is a pleasure. How may I help you?"
[20:52] <@DisgruntledDuelist> when did you sneak in?
[20:52] * Matsumi Kaze walks up to Mike slowly and taps him on the shoulder
[20:52] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I'm doing a short series on religion in Japan for our American and European readers in honor of Golden Week. Would you have time to answer a few questions?
[20:52] *** His mannerisms are calm, voice deep and powerful.
[20:53] <Matsumi Kaze> hey....any sign of anything....my air senses aren't picking up anything
[20:53] *** "Of course. Shall we sit?"
[20:53] <Suu> I was just passing by...
[20:53] *** He motions to the shrine steps.
[20:53] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Yes, thank you.
[20:53] * [H!P]Allison Blitz smiles, following the priest.
[20:53] * PureFlower starts to sneak around, using her natural camo to sneak through foliage
[20:54] *** There's an otherworldly power that fades in and out, nothing threatening, at all, as the clouds pass by overhead.
[20:54] * Matsumi Kaze quietly moves along one side of the shrine....
[20:54] * Suu finds a nearby tree and flies up into it
[20:54] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> This shrine is beatiful. How long have you worked here?
[20:54] *** The priest dusts off the ancient wood of the shrine, first a place beside him, then a place for himself, and sits.
[20:55] * [H!P]Allison Blitz sits down next to him, taking out a pen and note-pad
[20:55] * Suu flies up to the upper branches and scans the grounds of the temple
[20:55] *** "Thirty years, possibly more. My father worked here before me, and I'm hoping to pass my duties along to my eldest daughter."
[20:55] * Matsumi Kaze concentrates her senses, listening to anything that might be out of the ordnianry
[20:56] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> It's passed down the family line? How traditional.
[20:56] * [H!P]Allison Blitz writes that down.
[20:56] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> You don't find many businesses like that in America anymore.
[20:56] <Matsumi Kaze> hmmmm...
[20:56] *** "Ah, my name is Sato Kazuo, by the way."
[20:57] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> It's an honor, Sato-san.
[20:57] * Suu quietly makes her way back down to the ground
[20:57] * Mei Tanaka leans back on her car, waits patiently.
[20:58] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> How old is your daughter now, and when will she be able to take over your duties?
[20:59] * Matsumi Kaze moves along the side of the shrine towards the back...very slowly
[20:59] * PureFlower peaks her head out, trying to sneak around the back of the shrine
[20:59] *** "She turned 18 two months ago. Within ten or so years I hope she's willing to take over for me. I am more than patient, she still has school, and her sister, to take care of."
[20:59] <Suu> Hey Shay-chan, want to help be my eyes?
[21:00] * Matsumi Kaze goes to the back of the shrine and looks around
[21:00] * PureFlower nods
[21:00] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Oh, you have two daughters? That's nice.
[21:00] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> What kind of events do you hold during Golden Week here?
[21:01] * Matsumi Kaze turns on her air senses again..and scans the air around the back of the shrine for anything
[21:01] * Suu gently picks Shay-chan up and holds her while Suu flies up towards the roof of the temple
[21:01] * Matsumi Kaze concentrates hard..
[21:02] *** "We have a wonderful sakura viewing for those who cannot make it to any of the larger shrines. It sometimes lasts the night, depending on how many guests we get."
[21:02] * @DisgruntledDuelist is pretending to be just a visitor and distract attention from suu and shay
[21:02] * Suu lands very quietly on the roof
[21:03] * Matsumi Kaze is alone in the back apperently..her eyes glowing bright green as she scans the area
[21:03] *** The clouds pass over, glimpses of starlight streaming down, seemingly brighter here than you could imagine in the city.
[21:04] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> How many staff members do you have here? I've seen that most will employ a few extra for the holidays.
[21:04] <Matsumi Kaze> hmmm...seems...normal
[21:04] * Matsumi Kaze keeps her air sense on as she moves along the other side of the shrine
[21:05] * Suu surveys the roof...
[21:05] *** "My youngest daughter helps out when needed, and a kind young girl came not too long ago and happily offered her assistance. At times, my daughter's friends will pitch in as well."
[21:06] * Matsumi Kaze listens and looks around her
[21:06] * PureFlower uses her aromatherapy move, gently release a sweet gentle pollen that heals, but uses it to try to coat any possibly invisible things with the pollen
[21:06] *** All is still, the light from lanterns near the entrance glows faintly, the rest lit by starlight shimmering down through the night sky.
[21:06] * [H!P]Allison Blitz pulls out a new pen from her purse.
[21:07] <Suu> hey, good thinking Shay-chan
[21:07] <Matsumi Kaze> ...it seems so calm...nothing seems....out of the ordniary
[21:07] * Suu scans to see if there's anything not roof on the roof
[21:07] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Now, I have a few conflicting bits of data that I was hoping you could clear up for me
[21:08] * Matsumi Kaze walks over and puts her ear to the shrine wall
[21:08] *** "Of course, I shall do my best."
[21:08] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Now, thanks to anime and manga, most westerners know that a young priestess is called a 'miko'.
[21:08] *** Faint murmers inside, mostly likely one of the workers.
[21:09] <Suu> Shay-chan, how good are you at climbing?
[21:09] * Matsumi Kaze tries to press harder...to at least hear what any of the conversation is...
[21:09] *** The roof is amazingly well cleaned.
[21:09] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Is a more experienced priestess known as a 'Yura'?
[21:10] <Suu> it seems too perfect up here.
[21:10] *** It's mandarin chinese. Unless you can understand it, you can't get much else.
[21:10] * Suu counts the trees around the temple
[21:10] * PureFlower doesn't have claws, so not to well
[21:10] *** "... not that I know of."
[21:10] <Matsumi Kaze> damn...
[21:11] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Okay. I'm trying to figure out how this term became popularized in relation to Shinto.
[21:11] *** He furrows his brow in thought and looks up towards the sky.
[21:12] * Suu hids from the priests line of sight
[21:12] <Suu> ^hides
[21:12] * Matsumi Kaze stays pressed against the shrine wall
[21:12] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> It was either a more experienced priestess or maybe a role more closely related to spirits.
[21:13] <Suu> funny how he mentions that this temple is great for hanami, but...there aren't any flower petals or leaves on the roof.
[21:13] *** "It is the second, I have always found."
[21:14] <Matsumi Kaze> I'm not finding anything on the ground
[21:14] * [H!P]Allison Blitz looks into Sato-san's eyes.
[21:14] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Why do you call Yun-san 'Yura'?
[21:16] * Suu silently moves to the back of the roof and flies down
[21:16] *** "The stars gave her the name. I was unsure as to why. As she grew older, as her powers matured, I began to worry."
[21:16] * @DisgruntledDuelist continues to keep an eye on things, at one of the altars, pretending to by praying
[21:16] * Suu waves Matsumi over
[21:16] * Matsumi Kaze heads towards Suu
[21:16] *** A smile breaks through his otherwise serious expression, and he lets out a relaxed sigh.
[21:16] <Matsumi Kaze> I couldn't find anything on the ground...
[21:16] *** "Your friends don't have to hide anymore."
[21:17] * [H!P]Allison Blitz nods.
[21:17] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> It's okay, guys.
[21:17] <Matsumi Kaze> eh?
[21:17] * [H!P]Allison Blitz bows to Sato-san.
[21:17] *** He returns the bow.
[21:17] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I regret to inform you that Yun-san and Hisako-chan... they've been kidnapped.
[21:18] *** He sighs quietly, worried, though seemingly not surprised.
[21:18] <Suu> Matsumi-san, I dont' know if this is significant or not but..
[21:18] <Suu> The roof was completely cleaned
[21:18] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> By someone saying they're Yura Zero.
[21:19] * Suu puts Shay-chan down
[21:19] <Matsumi Kaze> hmm.....
[21:19] *** "The stars were... acting strange, not as strong as they often are. Then as my daughters didn't appear, a young traveler with china who resembled my eldest child appeared and offered her services."
[21:20] * PureFlower flails at suu
[21:20] * PureFlower points to the man, and then the shrine
[21:20] <Suu> Up?
[21:20] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Another Yura?
[21:20] *** "I had thought young Hisako appearing was simply a coincidence, but I was sadly mistaken."
[21:21] <Suu> you want to get close to him?
[21:21] * PureFlower shakes her head no
[21:22] * PureFlower points at him, then at the shrine again, and motions to her mouth with her paw, then to the shrine again
[21:22] <Matsumi Kaze> something about him and the roof?
[21:22] <Suu> dunno...maybe she smells something cooking inside...
[21:22] <Matsumi Kaze> maybe...
[21:23] *** "I began being warned by other priests of attacks at shrines. The workers injured, killed. The shrine itself untouched."
[21:23] * PureFlower facepaws, and runs over to the shrine, and points to a window
[21:23] * [H!P]Allison Blitz 's mind flashes back to the shrine attacks that she'd heard about.
[21:23] <Suu> Oh!
[21:23] * Suu follows Shay-chan to the window
[21:23] * Matsumi Kaze walks over...and looks through the window....
[21:24] * Suu holds Shay-chan up to the windwo
[21:25] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Yura Red was investigating those...
[21:25] * PureFlower pantamimes them to look in the window to the person who was talking inside earlier
[21:25] *** Inside is a young, white-skinned woman with long blue hair, strands of gray down the sides. A gold headband glimmers in the light as she prepares tea with the skill and delicacy only years of practice can give.
[21:25] <@DisgruntledDuelist> i hope they know what they're doing, i can't fake this much longer
[21:26] <Suu> That must be the daughter
[21:26] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Yura Red's from another universe. As is Hisako.
[21:26] *** "Another Yura? The one with the motorcycle then? I saw a woman who looked like my daughter drive up to a shrine outside of town with ofuda in her hand."
[21:26] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[21:27] <Suu> Um, excuse me...
[21:27] *** "I figured Hisako. She seemed so confused and worried when my daughter found her. We happily took care of her, and she quickly became one of the family."
[21:27] * Suu pulls out a camera "Could we get a few shots of you and your daughter for the article?"
[21:27] *** "Her voice was wonderful, she became very popular."
[21:28] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Hisako-chan is one of a kind. So to speak.
[21:28] *** "My daughter? She's not here-- oh, you mean--"
[21:28] * PureFlower drops down and scampers back over to mike, and leaps on his head, and starts "
[21:29] *** He chuckles lightly and turns his head, calling into the shrine.
[21:29] * PureFlower ^ stars chirping, and oddly mike seems to understand it
[21:29] *** "The tea is almost ready, then? I got distracted with guests."
[21:29] <@DisgruntledDuelist> so you think something is fishy huh?
[21:31] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[21:32] *** The shrine door slides open, the blue-haired girl from the window steps out, a tray of teacups resting in her hands. She's familiar, very much so, a calm, gentle demeanor viewed from her expression alone.
[21:32] * [H!P]Allison Blitz looks over.
[21:32] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> S-she looks just like them!
[21:32] *** Upon seeing everyone, she nearly drops the tea, Sato-san moving up to steady her.
[21:33] <Yura> W-What are all of you doing here?
[21:33] * Suu looks over at Mike and points at her own head, indicating the halo
[21:33] <Matsumi Kaze> hmmm...
[21:33] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Yura?
[21:34] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> (( I'm almost positive Alli never met Yura proper XD ))
[21:34] <Yura> (( XD ))
[21:35] * [H!P]Allison Blitz stands up, bowing.
[21:35] <@DisgruntledDuelist> !!
[21:35] <Yura> I-I'm sorry, S-Sato-san, I almost dropped the tea.
[21:35] * PureFlower scurries back down
[21:35] <Matsumi Kaze> .....
[21:35] <Matsumi Kaze> ..well this is interesting
[21:35] *** "It's fine, Yura-san. You know them, then?"
[21:35] <Yura> Y-yes, I do.
[21:35] * Suu waves to Allie
[21:36] * Yura sets the tea down, bows.
[21:36] <Yura> I-It's been a while.
[21:36] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> It's nice to meet you-- wait you know the others?
[21:36] <Suu> Allie-chan...Does Yura ever wear a headband like that?
[21:36] <Yura> A-ah, hai.
[21:37] *** I've visited the house before. I-It's been a while since then. I've been away.
[21:37] <Yura> I've visited the house before. I-It's been a while since then. I've been away.
[21:37] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Nice to meet you, then :D
[21:37] <Matsumi Kaze> what's going on..
[21:38] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I'm Allison Blitz. I'm friends with Hisako-chan.
[21:38] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> She's also a Yura.
[21:38] <Yura> A-ah! Hisako-chan's mentioned you. Is she okay? I haven't seen her since I left.
[21:38] * Yura smiles
[21:38] * @DisgruntledDuelist folds his arms and nods
[21:38] <Yura> I know of the Yuras.
[21:39] <Yura> Ninja, Red, Hisako.
[21:39] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> They're missing.
[21:39] * Suu looks down at Shay-chan "Hey, clue me in..."
[21:39] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> They've been kidnapped by Yura Zero.
[21:39] * Yura pales more than she already is.
[21:39] * Matsumi Kaze just listens
[21:40] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> She's been looking for you. You're the last one she needs.
[21:41] <Yura> I was hoping she would have left when she let us go.
[21:42] *** "So this is something that's happened before?"
[21:42] <@DisgruntledDuelist> i'm not surprised...
[21:43] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I remember the first time.
[21:43] <Yura> I don't even know how long it was. She had all four of us. What... w-what was stopping her then?
[21:43] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> But it seemed like Hisako-chan didn't remember, or didn't want to talk about it.
[21:44] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> She needs five. If she only had four of you, then she didn't have the complete set.
[21:44] <Yura> Five?
[21:44] * Yura looks confused.
[21:44] <Yura> I only know of four...
[21:44] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Ninja, Red, Idol, You, and Yun.
[21:45] <Yura> The Star Gladiator?
[21:45] <Yura> She's...
[21:45] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Star Gladiator?
[21:46] *** "Calm down, Yura-san. Just take a deep breath, have some tea."
[21:46] <@DisgruntledDuelist> gwah?
[21:46] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[21:46] *** "A monk. I'm a gladiator as well. We worship the sun, moon, and stars for our holy powers."
[21:47] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> That's what Mei-san was talking about...
[21:47] *** "Yun-chan is still maturing, but with her powers, like mine, she can see through the sky to the otherworlds."
[21:48] <Yura> A-All the Yuras are skilled spiritually.
[21:49] *** Sato-san chuckles. "I figured one of Yun-chan's friends brought you here."
[21:50] <@DisgruntledDuelist> ohgodotherworld
[21:50] * @DisgruntledDuelist shivers
[21:50] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[21:50] <@DisgruntledDuelist> Please, no rusty bloody walls
[21:50] <Suu> ?
[21:50] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Sato-san, I'd love to talk to you more about this. But, after we get the Yuras back.
[21:51] <Yura> I speak with spirits, I can interact with them. Hisako surpasses death and carries on back through to life. The ninja speaks to the dark world, demons and creatures beyond earth. Red-san moves past both life and death and touches the soul itself. If Yun's one of us, she passes earth to the gods themselves.
[21:51] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Yura-san, when Yura Zero mentioned you, she mentioned "revenge" as well.
[21:52] * Yura sighs.
[21:52] <Yura> We... are the forgotten ones.
[21:52] <Yura> Our place in existance falls through the cracks.
[21:53] <Yura> Fate itself at times forgets us.
[21:53] <Yura> We all deal with being left alone and ignored, forgotten.
[21:54] <Yura> Duty coming before life.
[21:54] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> It's not you that's after revenge...
[21:54] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> It's Yura Zero.
[21:54] <Yura> It's possible, where she came from, something happened.
[21:54] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Or I am totally reading this all wrong.
[21:54] <Suu> Hey, Shay-chan, you following this?
[21:54] <Yura> even I've considered it. I, obviously never went through with it.
[21:55] <Yura> But if she stepped outside...
[21:56] <Yura> ... do you know where she is?
[21:56] <Yura> Zero?
[21:56] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> She said to bring you to Aokigahara.
[21:57] <Yura> The Sea of Trees.
[21:57] <Yura> A place of demons and death.
[21:58] <@DisgruntledDuelist> sounds like a pleasant vacation.
[21:58] <Matsumi Kaze> sounds like fun
[21:58] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> More like South Jersey.
[22:00] <Yura> It's a forest known to be a popular place for suicide.
[22:01] * Suu shivers...
[22:01] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Again, South Jersey.
[22:02] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> We have to go there.
[22:02] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Yura Zero isn't evil. I don't think so, at least.
[22:03] <Yura> It's dangerous. Especially if you're sensitive to spirits.
[22:03] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> And she doesn't want to fight us.
[22:03] <@DisgruntledDuelist> don't they all say that
[22:03] <Yura> Going there could be suicide itself.
[22:04] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Well, should I go there by myself, first?
[22:04] <Yura> I suggest you don't simply walk in without someone who can supress the undead.
[22:05] *** "I believe that's her way of offering herself to you."
[22:05] <Yura> ...
[22:05] * Yura blushes faintly.
[22:06] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Only if you think you'll be safe, too.
[22:06] <@DisgruntledDuelist> someones got a dirty brain i see
[22:06] <Yura> M-Moh!
[22:07] <Yura> I-I'm offering m-my help!
[22:07] <Yura> I-It's n-not much but I m-might be able to draw Zero out!
[22:07] * PureFlower waves the comment off
[22:07] <Yura> I-I'm not Yura Red!
[22:07] <PureFlower> ♡ shay shhaaaaaa ♡
[22:08] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Okay, then.
[22:08] * Yura takes a cup of tea, kneels, sips.
[22:09] *** "It's late. I'm sorry to have kept you here so long."
[22:09] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> When do we go?
[22:09] *** Sato-san bows, Yura follows his lead quickly.
[22:09] <Yura> A-ah, um..
[22:10] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Oh! I'm so sorry, Sato-san
[22:10] <Yura> Whenever is best for you. I-i'm finished my travels for now, so I will be here. Sato-san is letting me stay here until I can find my own place again.
[22:11] *** "Don't be. I'm glad I could help. I cannot fight as well as I could in my youth, so anything I can do is for the best."
[22:11] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I'll try and clear my schedule.
[22:11] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Music Fighter can have MiniMoni on the show without me.
[22:12] * [H!P]Allison Blitz bows, and stands.
[22:12] *** "Please help my daughters. They're strong, just shy and unsure of themselves. I know you can do it."
[22:12] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> We better get going.
[22:12] <Suu> I'll see what I can do to help.
[22:13] * PureFlower nods
[22:13] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> And... I'm sorry you were ever forgotten, Yura-san.
[22:13] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> No one deserrves that.
[22:13] * Yura smiles softly.
[22:13] <Suu> Hey Mike, when we get back, I have something for Shay-chan
[22:13] <Yura> There is someone who's always remembered me. I guess I am one of the lucky ones.
[22:14] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Who's that?
[22:14] * Matsumi Kaze simply listens
[22:14] <Yura> A princess of a far off kingdom.
[22:15] * [H!P]Allison Blitz nods.
[22:15] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> She'll remember you.
[22:15] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Mei-tachi will remember Yun.
[22:15] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I'll remember Hisako-chan.
[22:15] <Yura> Red and Ninja have their own families.
[22:16] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> But Yura Zero...
[22:16] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> That's a mystery I'll need to solve.
[22:16] * [H!P]Allison Blitz bows again.
[22:16] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Have a good night :)
[22:16] * Yura returns the bow.
[22:17] * [H!P]Allison Blitz runs back down to the car.
[22:17] * Suu bows
[22:17] <Yura> You as well, Blitz-san. I'll be here if you need me.
[22:17] <@DisgruntledDuelist> we should go
[22:17] <Mei Tanaka> Ya get anythin' good?
[22:17] * [H!P]Allison Blitz calls back, "Call me Alli-chan!"
[22:17] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Of course, Mei-san. Our last Yura.
[22:17] <Yura> A-ah, h-hai!
[22:17] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[22:17] * Mei Tanaka laughs.
[22:17] <Mei Tanaka> S'a good night then!
[22:18] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> We're gonna get everyone back.
[22:18] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> We're gonna save the world.
[22:18] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[22:18] <Mei Tanaka> Damn straight we will.
[22:18] <Suu> I've got to get back to my dorms..
[22:18] <Mei Tanaka> I'll give ya a ride, kiddo.
[22:18] <Suu> Oh, thanks!
[22:18] <Matsumi Kaze> I better get home myself
[22:19] <Mei Tanaka> Somethin' in the air tells me it ain't safe 'round here anymore.
[22:19] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> I'm taking the train back to my apartment.
[22:19] <Suu> By the way Mike, there's a little bag of chocolate at the house. I left some for Shay-chan.
[22:19] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Thanks for the ride, Mei-san.
[22:19] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> And thanks for all your help, everyone!
[22:19] <Mei Tanaka> 'ey, got the car, may as well use it.
[22:19] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> ... yeah :D
[22:20] * [H!P]Allison Blitz hops in shotgun
[22:20] * Mei Tanaka hops in!
[22:20] * Matsumi Kaze gets in "I just need to get to the train station"
[22:21] *** Mei Tanaka [tanakamei@engineering.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Easy~)

[22:18] <Bunneh> So, not taking advantage of this then?
[22:18] * "Why would I bother? It's such an obvious thing. Not even worth it."
[22:19] <Bunneh> You're a curious one.
[22:19] * "I know."
[22:20] <Bunneh> you must be quite determined with your single goal, then.
[22:21] * "The best endings are not easy."
[22:21] <Bunneh> Yes yes I've played hentai games.
[22:22] * Bunneh watches the dragon balls fly off overhead.
[22:22] <Bunneh> How often do you hang out around this place? For that matter, how have they not sensed you?
[22:23] * "I have no aura. It's easy to hide when you have nothing to worry about hiding."
[22:24] <Bunneh> That's... rather a smart tactic.
[22:25] <Bunneh> So are you the reason certain people are blocked to this point?
[22:26] * "Not that I know of."
[22:26] <Bunneh> So are you just going to, um, stay out here while they continue to be noisy?
[22:27] * "Probably."
[22:28] * "I know how they work. I've watched them for years. There's no difference between some plains. At least not enough to warrent a change in my plans."
[22:29] * A bit of her cloak is thrown around the rabbit to protect it from glass shards.
[22:29] <Bunneh> Ah, thank you for that.
[22:31] * A nod, she walks off.
[22:31] <Bunneh> Well then. That's something.
[19:20] *** Yaijinden [iä!] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:20] <@Diamond Dice Darkness> Greetings Yaijinden
[19:20] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:20] <@Diamond Dice Darkness> Greetings Matsumi Kaze
[19:21] <Matsumi Kaze> - hiiiissss -
[19:21] *** The force of the blow carries him, her, and "it" straight through the back door into the yard beyond.
[19:21] * Yaijinden tumbles free of her, kicks into a flip
[19:22] * Yaijinden skids back until his feet find purchase on the ground and he straightens
[19:22] <Matsumi Kaze> - you dare attack me? -
[19:22] <Yaijinden> You? Pffft.
[19:23] * Yaijinden lets a groove run through his body, smirking
[19:23] <Yaijinden> I haven't seen evidence you're worth "attacking" yet.
[19:23] <Yaijinden> Right now, you're just a boil that needs to be lanced and scrubbed...
[19:24] * Matsumi Kaze morphs further...now a large half-human-half-snake thing..with several arms and snake heads
[19:24] <Yaijinden> It is somewhat fitting, though.
[19:24] <Matsumi Kaze> - I WILL DESTROY YOU IF I HAVE TO -
[19:25] <Yaijinden> Prove it.
[19:25] * Matsumi Kaze fires a black lightening blast at Yai
[19:26] * Yaijinden calls on Elemental Fire, invoking a shield of brilliant light; it deflects most of the bolt, but some pierces through and courses up his arm
[19:26] <Yaijinden> FFFFOW.
[19:26] <Yaijinden> Okay, so maybe the boil's got teeth.
[19:26] * Matsumi Kaze hisses "you are more then human..."
[19:27] * Matsumi Kaze whips it's tail towards yai
[19:27] <Yaijinden> I've got a few triOOF.
[19:28] * Yaijinden is smacked and but hard, one foot digging a strangely artful pattern in the earth
[19:29] <Matsumi Kaze> - I shall enjoy killing you I think -
[19:29] * Yaijinden eventually kicks himself upright at the end of a tunnel and draws a brief mudra with one hand; green light coalesces around it, and he hurls a positively-charged burst of energy towards Nylothu
[19:30] * Matsumi Kaze hisses as it hits "buurrrrning"
[19:31] <Yaijinden> Ha! Crazy person isn't just talking smack, is he!
[19:31] * Matsumi Kaze narrows it's eyes at Yai "what are you, little man???"
[19:31] <Yaijinden> An -idiot-, first and foremost.
[19:31] <Yaijinden> ...wow you're big. I hadn't thought about that aspect.
[19:32] <Matsumi Kaze> - I am bleeding the life from the air child for my power :3 -
[19:33] <Yaijinden> ...clever. So even if I win, I lose.
[19:33] * Matsumi Kaze slithers towards Yai
[19:34] <Yaijinden> I'm just going to have to fight clever.
[19:34] * Matsumi Kaze rushes towards Yai, jaws open
[19:35] * Yaijinden strikes another of the variant stances, foot digging another strangely artful shape in the ground, and launches forward up and over Nylothu
[19:36] * Matsumi Kaze tries to turn to find yai
[19:37] * Yaijinden has landed on the other side and digs another mark into the ground, sweeping into a new stance
[19:37] * Matsumi Kaze tries to rush Yai again
[19:38] * Yaijinden leaps backwards, just out of reach for a few moments, digs another mark in the ground with his foot but not swift enough to evade its reaching jaws
[19:38] * Matsumi Kaze grabs yai's leg in it's jaw
[19:39] <Yaijinden> Oh, f[BLEEP]k--
[19:39] * Matsumi Kaze tries to swollow the rest
[19:40] <Yaijinden> s[BLEEP]tc[BLEEP]k!
[19:40] * Yaijinden swipes rapidly with one hand and severs his leg at the knee, falling out of Nylothu's mouth and scrambling away on two arms and one good leg
[19:41] * Matsumi Kaze swollows the leg...
[19:41] <Matsumi Kaze> - like a crippled prey....I will tear you apart -
[19:41] <Yaijinden> Big talk. I can have that reattached.
[19:41] * Yaijinden is obviously in pain as he gimps away, though
[19:42] * Matsumi Kaze arches up...and shoots black lightening not only from it's large head..but from the multiple snake heads attached to it's body
[19:43] * Yaijinden hears the crackle and whips around onto his back, digging another rut into the ground as he calls forth Elemental Fire to consume the black lightning again...
[19:43] * Yaijinden can't keep it up for long, though, and when the battle resolves in Nylothu's favor, Yaijinden is blown back by muscular spasm, sparks travelling the length of his body
[19:44] * Matsumi Kaze 's body is starting to gain black cracks along it
[19:44] <Matsumi Kaze> - now...now..it's time.....it's time to end this.. -
[19:45] * Yaijinden groans in pain, pushes himself upright-- and there's a wicked grin on his lips.
[19:45] <Yaijinden> I agree.
[19:45] <Yaijinden> ♦ DRAGON'S TAIL, DESCENDING SIGN.
[19:45] * Yaijinden laughs wildly as the ruts he dug into the ground suddenly glow with viridian light, forming a complex sigil beneath the both of them
[19:46] <Matsumi Kaze> - wha...what are...what are you... -
[19:46] * Yaijinden rises to one knee
[19:47] <Yaijinden> Wouldn't you say?
[19:47] <Matsumi Kaze> - YO...YOU CAN'T..I..I MUST DESTROY HER -
[19:47] <Yaijinden> T́h͜e ͘be͠s͡t ͘h͡un̵ter of ̕m̢o͡nśte҉rs̶ i̴s͡ ̢an̵othe̶r̷ ͡m̨o̧ns͢t͏er̶.
[19:47] <Yaijinden> The best hunter of monsters is always another monster.
[19:47] * Yaijinden raises two hands triumphantly in the air
[19:47] <Yaijinden> ♦ OGTHROD AI'F
[19:48] *** The seal of exorcism and binding flashes brilliantly, casting a light skyward
[19:48] <Yaijinden> ♦ GEB'L -- EEH
[19:48] * Matsumi Kaze SCREAMS
[19:48] <Yaijinden> ♦ YOG-SOTHOTH
[19:49] <Matsumi Kaze> - GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -
[19:49] <Yaijinden> ♦ 'NGAH'NG AI'Y
[19:49] <Yaijinden> ♦ ZHRO!
[19:50] * Matsumi Kaze 's form dissolves into a black mist...leaving matsumi on the ground...
[19:51] * Matsumi Kaze coughs violent....disgorging a small..black crystal...
[19:51] * Yaijinden kicks his leg violently; bone extends and muscle comes into being around it, wrapped by flesh, and then fabric
[19:51] <Matsumi Kaze> ugh....I feel sick..
[19:52] <Yaijinden> And it would have worked, if it weren't for you rotten kids.
[19:52] * Yaijinden ambles forward and picks up the crystal, eyeing it thoughtfully
[19:52] * the crystal pulsates very slowly.....
[19:52] <Matsumi Kaze> ugh..what..is that
[19:53] <Yaijinden> A bad dream.
[19:53] * Yaijinden crushes it in his hand
[19:54] <Matsumi Kaze> what am I doing out here?
[19:55] <Yaijinden> An old enemy planted something inside you that she intended to kill you.
[19:55] * Yaijinden casts the dust into the sand garden
[19:56] <Matsumi Kaze> ....Necros?
[19:57] <Yaijinden> /In one.
[19:58] <Yaijinden> Good news, I think it's over and done.
[19:59] <Matsumi Kaze> ...I hope so
[20:00] * Yaijinden offers her a hand up
[20:00] <Yaijinden> Come on inside.
[20:01] * Matsumi Kaze takes yai's hand "thanks"
[20:01] <Yaijinden> I'm pretty sure they're talking about vidyagames there, but that's a better topic. :D
[20:02] * Yaijinden is away: and elsewhere!
[20:02] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi3 (yeah)
[20:11] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Ah it's been a while.
[20:11] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> I have no OPs!
[20:11] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> I have a funny symbol though.
[20:11] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Anyways I'm here for a reason
[20:11] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> First off, the conclusion of the Zero game happens Sunday. This sunday, probably as early as possible so around 18:00 CBT
[20:12] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> There's two ways to do it, the hard way, which involves beating everything in sight, or the easy way, which while I call it easy, isn't the easy way.
[20:12] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Why am I saying this here? Because I never give tips up front, you should know that.
[20:13] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> The "easy" way involves having the correct connections set up in the party.
[20:13] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> I've mentioned a lot of them, you'll just have to remember them when the time comes up.
[20:14] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> It's the "Easy" way because that way you'll avoid a lot of the early combat and store your HP/MP for the final fights.
[20:14] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> But again, it involves knowing the whos, whats, and wheres.
[20:15] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> If you do have any questions, characters, and myself, will be around to give hints.
[20:15] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> There is, also, a map. I've set one up already, it's fairly basic, you tell me north, south, east, west, I tell you what's going on and what you can do.
[20:16] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> The other thing is searches.
[20:16] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> There's three basic ones, each with a different role.
[20:17] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> The loot search, which gives you an opportunity to obtain valuables from corpses in Aokigahara forest. It'll be 1d50 for the general 50' around you.
[20:17] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Some areas have none, others have stuff. Again, It's pre-determined.
[20:18] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> The second search is sound. This is a 1d10 roll with a magical/racial modifier, which I'll determine when you say you want this roll. It can add anywhere from +1 to +5.
[20:20] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> This'll give a basic "what can you hear" search.
[20:20] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Results will depend on where you are in the forest.
[20:20] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> And the third is a magical sense. 1d20 and a magical modifier of +1 to +5.
[20:22] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Again, it depends on location, and can either lead you to your destination, or cause injury, if you roll a 1.
[20:25] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Note: I will be doing private rolls for Zero. She has her own movement and her own search rolls.
[20:25] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Any questions, post them here, or contact me.
[20:28] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> also
[20:28] <@Diamond Dice Darkness> Battle order cleared
[20:28] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> there >:|
[10:24] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> But wait there's more!
[10:24] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Each Yura will have a combat modifier. Why? You'll find out later.
[10:25] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Ninja Yura: Durring combat, Ninja Yura has the ability to roll 1d100, and anything >80 will result in an auto-dodge. This only applies to regular attacks, not /special attacks.
[10:27] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Yura Red: A physical resistance of 100%. Elemental attacks will result in normal damage. example: Hitting Yura Red with a large stick will result in 0 (zero) damage. Hitting her with a large stick that is on fire will result in normal damage.
[10:29] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Yun Sato: Double attack. Durring a combat round, Yun can attack twice.
[10:31] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Sato Hisako: Sacrifice 2 (two) turns to heal full HP or MP. This will also result in singing, which you might actually enjoy!
[10:31] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> (Yes Hisako is set more towards support character status. She's like a cleric!)
[10:35] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Yura Jestee: Durring combat, if Yura's attack is BLOCKED or DODGED, Yura rolls 1d100. >80 results in a second attack.
[10:35] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Yura Zero: Ahaha like I'm going to tell you that.
[10:39] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> There IS a chance none of these modifiers will be used. You just have to figure out how that happens.
[17:54] * &Diamond Dice Darkness changes topic to `Zero Hour: The Sea of Trees`
[17:58] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Agh there's notes here where are they.
[17:58] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Movement: decide North, South, East, or West. use /me to move in that direction so I can mark it on the map.
[17:59] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Most other things I'll call as they come
[17:59] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Uh
[17:59] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> yeah that's pretty much it

[18:44] *** The sun hangs low in the sky as you pass by the city limits towards Fuji. Buildings and houses are quickly replaced with thick, dark forest on either side of you, few other vehicles passing your route. Black signs pass just out of the corner of your eye, and the scattered remains of old clothes and personal belongings begin littering the forest around you.

[18:46] <Boss> Fun place for a picnic.
[18:46] <Mai Naomi> Hoo...
[18:46] <Hulking Figure> I have always loved it here.
[18:46] * Hulking Figure has resumed his shape from the fast bat.
[18:46] * Tealeaf Reader notices a sign urging the reader not to commit suicide...
[18:46] <Hulking Figure> Ahhh...
[18:46] <Tealeaf Reader> o-oh, I've heard of this place.
[18:47] <Suu> is...is this the place where people commit suicide?
[18:47] <Hulking Figure> Yes.
[18:47] <Hulking Figure> It's a great place for recruiting... or so I have heard.
[18:47] *** Glancing deeper, broken bones trace markings on the ground. Deeper still, fresher corpses, many still hanging lifelessly from trees.
[18:47] <Boss> What, there's a place for that?
[18:47] * Mai Naomi transforms into her senshi form, since they're far enough away from the regular civilization of Japan. "Carme Satellite Power Make Up!"
[18:47] * Mai Naomi is now known as Sailor Carme
[18:47] <Boss> Damn. I guess there is.
[18:47] <@DisgruntledDuelist> This is like some trippy s[BLEEP]t
[18:48] * Sailor Carme rubs her arms, feeling a little shiver travelling down her spine.
[18:48] * Suu turns green...
[18:48] <Sailor Carme> Creeepy...
[18:48] <Suu> I...I don't wanna be here!!!!
[18:48] <@DisgruntledDuelist> think thats the point suu
[18:48] *** Deeper still, past it all, brings movement to your eyes, empty, human shapes, necks twisted and limbs snapped, lashed to the ground and walls, reaching out, silent screams escaping their jaws.
[18:48] <Hulking Figure> Interesting...
[18:49] * Yura narrows her eyes.
[18:49] <Hulking Figure> Are these things alive?
[18:49] <Boss> Man this place stinks. Literally.
[18:49] <@DisgruntledDuelist> this is like that one level of MGS3, isn't it
[18:49] * Sailor Carme covers her mouth with her gloved hand, her face going a little pale.
[18:49] <Suu> I don't wnana go in
[18:49] * Yura pulls a stack of ofuda out, fans them in her hand and spins on her heels, the paper stopping around everyone in a circle and glowing brightly.
[18:49] * Yura presses her hands together and chants lowly.
[18:50] <Boss> Nearly makes a guy glad to be blind. Nearly.
[18:50] * Hulking Figure steps away from Yura.
[18:50] * Hulking Figure looks at Yura.
[18:50] *** Yura is a young woman with long blue hair, cat ears, and a long bushy tail. She's dressed in a blue and gold chinese dress, sleeveless and cut high up the thigh. Bandages are wrapped around her hands.
Her image Song is: "I'm Alive" by Becca. She is Level 3.
[18:50] <Suu> Thanks so much..
[18:50] <Boss> Relax big guy, she's on our side.
[18:51] * Suu steps close to Boss
[18:51] *** A quiet hiss is heard as the dense feeling around you lightens immensely, the movement backing away quickly from the ring.
[18:51] * @DisgruntledDuelist idly spins his knife around in his hand
[18:51] <Boss> Tickles.
[18:52] <Yura> They're spirits. Not happy ones, a-and usually I'd be pretty sure they'd leave us alone...
[18:52] <@DisgruntledDuelist> feels like moms home cookin', tingly in the beelly
[18:52] <Yura> b-but if something's h-happening, they might be violent. S-Stay in the cirlce.
[18:52] <Hulking Figure> Um... I'm pretty sure they only care about those who are alive.
[18:52] <Boss> So we move as one.
[18:52] * Tealeaf Reader stays in the circle, taking off her backpack and dropping it at her feet
[18:52] <Suu> Thanks, Yura-san...
[18:52] <Boss> Sensible enough.
[18:52] * Sailor Carme nods, being sure to stay in the circle.
[18:53] <Mei Tanaka> We're at th' northeast corner o' the forest, there's th'least traffic up here.
[18:53] * Hulking Figure doesn't particularly seem to care about stepping beyond the circle, and extends an arm beyond it.
[18:53] * Tealeaf Reader rummages around for a stack of index cards and replaces it on her back.
[18:53] <Boss> Well I don't reckon there's a trail of breadcrumbs so we'd best decide which way to go.
[18:53] *** First off, everyone /senzu
[18:53] ☼ Scouter indicates Sailor Carme has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:53] ☼ Scouter indicates Boss has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:54] *** Second if you step out of the circles there WILL be random ecounters which will drain your HP quick.
[18:54] ☼ Scouter indicates Suu has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:54] ☼ Scouter indicates Mei Tanaka has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:54] ☼ Scouter indicates Ryoufu Krause has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:54] ☼ Scouter indicates Yura has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:54] ☼ Scouter indicates Tealeaf Reader has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:54] *** I trust you all looked over the instructions at the top?
[18:54] <Tealeaf Reader> (( hai sensei. ))
[18:54] * Boss did.
[18:55] ☼ Scouter indicates DisgruntledDuelist has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:55] <Sailor Carme> (( yes. ))
[18:55] <@DisgruntledDuelist> (( yesh ))
[18:55] <Hulking Figure> Guys.... I don't think this forest wants me here....
[18:56] <Hulking Figure> I believe... that I should leave now.
[18:56] <Ryoufu Krause> This forest doesn't want anything alive being here! Duh.
[18:56] <Sailor Carme> (( I'm a bit...confused/unsure of how it all works but i'll probably learn as we go along. ))
[18:56] <@DisgruntledDuelist> not just you i take it
[18:56] <Tealeaf Reader> It doesn't want any of us here.
[18:56] <Boss> Really, what gave you that idea? The corpses, bones or restless spirits?
[18:56] <Sailor Carme> What why?
[18:56] <Suu> yeah...
[18:56] <Hulking Figure> Heh.... Well, I suppose you all will find out eventually...
[18:56] <Boss> I don't think you're any less welcome than the rest of us, but hey, can't blame you.
[18:57] * Suu tries to listen to the forest sounds...
[18:57] ☼ Scouter indicates Hulking Figure has HP and MP levels of 1000 / 1500!!
[18:57] <Hulking Figure> Hmmm....
[18:58] <Tealeaf Reader> if you wish to step outside the circle and leave, I don't think any of us will stop you.
[18:58] *** you're at the edge of the forest, you can walk in to the east or south.
[18:58] <Suu> Where do you want to go?
[18:58] * Sailor Carme points East?
[18:58] <Hulking Figure> You believe that this forest will cause the dead to attack the living?
[18:58] <@DisgruntledDuelist> well
[18:58] <Hulking Figure> If so... I should not be with you.
[18:59] <@DisgruntledDuelist> the question is, what direction did we enter
[18:59] * Hulking Figure is now known as Ursine Nightmare
[18:59] <Yura> Unless you died here you'll be fine.
[18:59] * Ursine Nightmare leaves the circle...
[18:59] * Sailor Carme looks at Ursine Nightmare.
[18:59] *** Ursine Nightmare is a 12' long bear, and an embodiment of Hunger and Death. It looks you squarely in the eye, like it will either dismiss your presence or rip you apart. Cruel-looking claws and fangs adorn it, and it lurches forward as though tainted by a nameless rage.
His image Song is: "It's Terror Time Again" by Skycycle. He is Level 1.
[18:59] <Boss> Did you hear anything Suu?
[18:59] * Sailor Carme just stares at him, mouth agape.
[19:00] <@DisgruntledDuelist> oh yeah, scare the kids hulk
[19:00] *** Remember, you can loot, listen, and feel.
[19:00] * Ursine Nightmare walks out of the forest, taking a bite of a hanging body on the way out...
[19:00] <Tealeaf Reader> Well, to the east, then.
[19:00] *** Do this right and you'll find your way easy.
[19:00] *** Ursine Nightmare [TryPlayingDead@PrimalFear.com] has quit IRC
[19:00] <Suu> No, I didn't hear anything
[19:01] *** You head into the forest, the glow from Yura's ofuda keeping the dead back from you.
[19:01] * Suu listens as she follows everyone else in
[19:02] <Sailor Carme> (( Well, how do you do a feel, search, or listen? ))
[19:02] <Boss> Keep your eyes out for any clues on the ground, we dont wanna miss something important.
[19:02] *** Just talk and use /me to decide any actions. Any of you can use your senses, you'll get bonuses depending on who does it.
[19:02] *** Say it, I'll give you a dice roll.
[19:02] *** And a bonus. So magical girls get a better sense, Boss, being blink, would be better with hearing
[19:02] *** ^blind
[19:03] *** Looting is map-oriented so just say you'll looking through/over corpses.
[19:03] *** And I'll say yes or no if you found something
[19:03] <Boss> Hm.
[19:03] * @DisgruntledDuelist looks for anything to loot then, cause lootin' is fun
[19:04] * Suu listens.
[19:04] <Boss> Just me or is there no wildlife here? Did it all go suicidal too? Can you DO that?
[19:04] * Boss has a listen.
[19:04] *** Mike finds a corpse! Inside his wallet is 350 gold yen, and his shirt and pants are fairly entact. He also has a lighter.
[19:04] <Suu> I don't know...
[19:05] <Suu> - ugh... -
[19:05] <@DisgruntledDuelist> ooooooo
[19:05] <Suu> - don't...tell me you're gonna...take his stuff -
[19:05] <Sailor Carme> ...Eww..
[19:05] <Sailor Carme> Though, I've heard that people do that a lot here
[19:05] *** Boss, Suu, roll 1d10. Boss gets an extra +5 to his end roll
[19:05] <Sailor Carme> It's like a gold mine or something.
[19:05] * @DisgruntledDuelist snags the lighter and the cash
[19:05] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Suu rolls 1d10 [ 10 ]
[19:05] <@DisgruntledDuelist> score
[19:05] <Boss> Is that guy seriously taking some dead guy's money? You got balls, kid.
[19:05] <Suu> Mike-san...does he have any ID on him?
[19:05] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Boss rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]
[19:06] <@DisgruntledDuelist> hey, you never know when you have to bribe ghouls
[19:06] *** Both can hear the wind moving through the trees, around you the quiet mumbling of the dead, more towards the southeast.
[19:06] * Sailor Carme makes sure to keep close to Yura.
[19:06] * @DisgruntledDuelist checks for id in the wallet
[19:06] <Boss> Well he ain't gonna use it
[19:07] *** Generic Tokyo Businessman #0147
[19:07] <Boss> Alright so, far as I can tell, we got zombies to the southeast. And wind, in the middle of the forest.
[19:07] <Suu> but we need to tell his family.
[19:07] <Sailor Carme> Well that's not unusual.
[19:07] <Sailor Carme> The wind part.
[19:07] <Sailor Carme> But Suu, don't you think they would've known by now?
[19:07] *** When you want to move, give me a direction.
[19:07] <Sailor Carme> He looks..fairly decomposed.
[19:07] <Boss> Much as I like a good fight we should probably avoid that direction. Would slow us down.
[19:08] <Suu> Missing person report.
[19:08] <@DisgruntledDuelist> i'm sure the generic's mourn the loss of dereck, bobby is heartbroken
[19:08] * Sailor Carme shudders.
[19:08] * Suu listens toward the southeast to see if she can find out how many there are
[19:08] <Boss> Looks ladies, I know it's tragic but this is one guy in a forest of what could be dozens, maybe more.
[19:08] *** Roll another 1d10
[19:08] <Boss> We need to keep moving.
[19:09] * Sailor Carme agrees with Boss.
[19:09] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Suu rolls 1d10 [ 3 ]
[19:09] *** you can't tell
[19:09] <Suu> We'd better go east. I wish there was some way I could tell how many people are back there.
[19:09] <Boss> Let's keep going east, but keep an eye out.
[19:10] <@DisgruntledDuelist> (( 10 internets to who gets the reference ))
[19:10] <Sailor Carme> Well as long as we're in this bubble, we'll be safe right?
[19:11] <Boss> Hey Yura, these uh, spirit wards. They're temporary I take it?
[19:11] *** Deeper into the forest, a few skattered bits of clothing lay about. Most of the spirits have begun to realize getting near is a bad idea.
[19:11] <Yura> I can take them down when I need to, yes.
[19:11] <@DisgruntledDuelist> least they learnn
[19:11] <Boss> I'm thinking more that they might run out on us.
[19:12] * Sailor Carme just looks around her, trying to see anything of major (or minor) importance.
[19:12] <Boss> there's enough nasty surprises lurkin around here.
[19:12] <Yura> I-if they t-touch the barrier they sh-should break up...
[19:12] *** A few bones, no full bodies.
[19:12] <Suu> Uggghhh.
[19:12] *** continue east?
[19:13] * Suu listens for more zombies...
[19:13] <Boss> Anyone of you magical types sense anything we can't?
[19:13] *** roll 1d10
[19:13] <Boss> Bound to be more than zombie mumbling in the air.
[19:13] <Sailor Carme> I never was all that good at sensing things, but I could give it a try?
[19:13] <Mei Tanaka> Eh, can't hurt!
[19:13] <Boss> Why the hell not
[19:14] <Tealeaf Reader> Let's go north next...
[19:14] *** to sense, roll 1d20
[19:14] <Boss> Have a hunch?
[19:14] * Sailor Carme nods and focuses, her body glowing a very soft and pale purplelish blue light, trying to sense what dangers may be lurking.
[19:14] *** magical girls get a +3
[19:14] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Sailor Carme rolls 1d20 [ 20 ]
[19:14] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Suu rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[19:14] *** First of all you guys are getting good rolls.
[19:15] *** I am amused.
[19:15] <Tealeaf Reader> just d-doesn't seem much like things are happening here.
[19:15] <Boss> Whoa I felt that. Like a souped-up x-ray.
[19:15] *** Second: Carme, aside from the dark feeling of the forest, more dominant to the south, there's an odd... other-worldy feeling creeping up. It's faint, not enough to track yet.
[19:16] *** Suu: It's quieter to the north, more busy to the south.
[19:16] <Sailor Carme> (( creeping up from a certain direction or just in general? ))
[19:16] *** General
[19:16] * Sailor Carme stops glowing and sneezes.
[19:16] <Suu> Sounds like there's action over that way *points south*
[19:17] *** You CAN sense each other, if players want to make snappy comebacks to such things go ahead I'm not stopping you.
[19:17] <Tealeaf Reader> Let's go check it out, then.
[19:17] <Boss> Action?
[19:17] <Suu> Uh...
[19:17] <Suu> Maybe we should go the other way...
[19:18] <Sailor Carme> No, I think we should head South.
[19:18] *** Direction?
[19:18] <Tealeaf Reader> Let's start South, if things look unhelpful, we can always turn back.
[19:18] <Boss> Well we're gonna run into something right? With a bit of luck it'll help.
[19:18] <Tealeaf Reader> Might be the silence is where we want to go.
[19:18] <Suu> Okay...
[19:18] <Tealeaf Reader> But it might not be.
[19:19] <Sailor Carme> If we don't head to where the things are going on, we'll probably just be getting lost in the forest.
[19:19] <Suu> ...south it is then?
[19:19] <Boss> Well we can't afford to split up. So let's go south.
[19:19] * Sailor Carme nods.
[19:19] <@DisgruntledDuelist> south it is
[19:20] *** You move south, the wind dieing down slightly as you go. Faint rays of light pierce through the thick forest, scatting spots and revealing specks of white and colors from clothing shreds.
[19:20] * Suu draws Hachidori...
[19:20] <Suu> more clothes...
[19:20] <Suu> more...people...were here...and died here...
[19:20] * Tealeaf Reader looks at the colors of the clothes
[19:21] <Sailor Carme> But it seems like they died here a long time ago, if all that's left is just shreds of their clothing.
[19:21] *** Faded reds and blues, some resemble bits of school uniforms and office-wear.
[19:21] <Tealeaf Reader> they might not necessarily be from people who died.
[19:21] <Tealeaf Reader> there could have been a struggle or something.
[19:21] <Boss> That or they got their asses kicked somethin serious.
[19:21] * Sailor Carme looks around, noticing that the area is getting a bit brighter, trying to see anything that might be of some importance.
[19:22] * Tealeaf Reader looks to see if there's anything similar to what Hisako might wear
[19:22] * @DisgruntledDuelist attempts to gauge how "rotted" the clothing is
[19:22] * Suu listens for more of the noises she had heard
[19:22] *** Nothing yet, most looks too old to be recent.
[19:22] * Boss listens.
[19:22] * Tealeaf Reader shakes her head
[19:22] <Tealeaf Reader> Nothing useful.
[19:22] *** roll 1d10 +5
[19:23] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Boss rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[19:23] <Suu> Do you hear anything?
[19:23] *** Noise from the south, busy chattering of the dead, though little to no sounds of movement.
[19:24] <Boss> Only that whatever's south of us isn't moving. It is louder though.
[19:24] <Tealeaf Reader> if it's not moving, maybe it's not what we need...
[19:24] <Suu> they're...waiting for us
[19:24] <Tealeaf Reader> we should find out whether it is or isn't before we give up on it though.
[19:24] <Tealeaf Reader> Let's keep going south.
[19:24] * Suu shivers...
[19:25] <Sailor Carme> Might as well.
[19:25] <Boss> We came this far.
[19:25] <Ryoufu Krause> Th-The barrier will keep us covered, right?
[19:25] <Suu> Yeah...It's been doing a great job so far.
[19:26] <Ryoufu Krause> E-Even if we run into anything we'll have some defense, r-right?
[19:26] <Mei Tanaka> Settle, kid. We'll be fine.
[19:26] <Boss> Let's keep moving.
[19:26] *** Less debris on the ground now. A more natrual, stone and grass look to it.
[19:26] <Suu> Right...
[19:27] * Suu looks for any signs of corpses
[19:27] *** None within sight, which isn't too far, sadly.
[19:27] * Tealeaf Reader listens this time.
[19:27] *** Roll 1d10
[19:28] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Tealeaf Reader rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[19:28] <Suu> there's no one here
[19:28] *** less chattering to the east, west, and north. Still lots to the south.
[19:29] <Boss> Well we're about to have company soon.
[19:29] <@DisgruntledDuelist> tough call time.
[19:29] <Suu> Okay...
[19:29] <Sailor Carme> So what do we do now?
[19:30] <Boss> Why would we change course now? We're finding out what's South, right?
[19:30] <Tealeaf Reader> I thought so.
[19:30] <Tealeaf Reader> Let's keep going.
[19:30] <Boss> Worst thing you can do is start doubting yourself. Let's keep going till we find something.
[19:30] <Suu> Yeah...
[19:31] * Boss continues southward
[19:31] * Suu follows Boss
[19:32] <Suu> I'd better go ahead of you
[19:32] * Sailor Carme goes as well.
[19:33] * Suu looks for any nasty zombies
[19:33] *** The ground is bare of human... well stuff, save for a few occasional bits of clothing and some heavy boot prints.
[19:33] * Tealeaf Reader listens again
[19:33] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Tealeaf Reader rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]
[19:34] * Suu examines a boot pring
[19:34] <Suu> ^print
[19:34] *** The chattering is closer still, now you can make out that it's less violent and more curious sounding.
[19:35] *** The print resembles a heavy work boot.
[19:35] <Tealeaf Reader> Let's definitely keep going.
[19:35] *** Less and less spirits are seen around you and against the barrier.
[19:35] <Boss> Well, at least the place doesn't stink of hanging corpses anymore.
[19:35] <Suu> Hey, anyone know if it was raining the past few days?
[19:35] <Tealeaf Reader> Whatever it is might know about what we're looking for.
[19:36] <Boss> Dunno, why?
[19:36] <Sailor Carme> I don't know, why Suu?
[19:37] <Suu> This bootprint...does it look recent to you?
[19:37] * Mei Tanaka looks
[19:38] <Mei Tanaka> Read somethin' about the government occasionally sendin' in search parties t'collect corpses.
[19:38] <Mei Tanaka> Could be that.
[19:39] * Suu looks to see if the boot prints are going one way or both ways
[19:39] *** They seem to be heading in, but moving off northwards.
[19:40] <Suu> Guys...
[19:40] <Suu> I have a bad feeling about these footprints
[19:40] <Suu> I don't see them RETURNING
[19:40] <@DisgruntledDuelist> (( back, sorry, had some rl issues ))
[19:40] <Boss> Why?
[19:40] <Sailor Carme> Well maybe they left another way?
[19:40] <Sailor Carme> It's not like there's only one way to get in this place.
[19:41] <Tealeaf Reader> So why do we have to follow them?
[19:41] <Suu> Maybe you're right...
[19:41] <Tealeaf Reader> Let's figure out what the voices are.
[19:41] <Suu> they might know something...
[19:41] <Boss> Yeah, let's keep this train rollin.
[19:41] *** Direction?
[19:42] <Tealeaf Reader> South.
[19:43] <Suu> Okay...
[19:43] *** one corpse through the trees, having hung himself from a tree by the tie.
[19:43] * Tealeaf Reader looks at his shoes.
[19:43] * Suu looks at the corpse's boots
[19:43] <Suu> so, you thinking what I'm thinking, huh?
[19:44] <Boss> Didn't you say the footprints were going north?
[19:44] *** Simple work shoes, well polished.
[19:44] *** Loot?
[19:45] * Suu checks the treads to see if there's any dirt or mud
[19:45] * Boss loots.
[19:45] <@DisgruntledDuelist> (( catchin' up on the log, will be active in a bit ))
[19:45] *** Dried and mostly flaked off and now Boss has them.
[19:45] <Boss> No time for a ceremony pal, let's see what you got.
[19:45] <Boss> Man, this guy stinks.
[19:46] <Suu> Hey, can I see the treads?
[19:46] <Boss> Sure.
[19:46] *** A wallet, a few pens, a pair of glasses, two credit cards.
[19:47] * Boss looks at the cards for a name.
[19:47] *** They're flat, light treads, nothing like the heavy ones from before.
[19:47] * Sailor Carme decides to sense again, seeing what the feeling of this area is in comparison to the last time she did it. She glows ever so slightly as she focuses.
[19:47] *** Generic depressed guy #4650
[19:47] *** roll 1d20 +3
[19:47] <Suu> nope, it's not the guy who made the footrpints
[19:47] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Sailor Carme rolls 1d20 +3 [ 8 ]
[19:48] * Boss chucks the cards, and glasses, keeps the wallet.
[19:48] *** Shapess forms shifting against something... much like the barrier around you. But not exactly. You can at least tell them apart.
[19:49] * Sailor Carme frowns and sneezes again, her focus fading.
[19:49] <Sailor Carme> I think...there's something else here we're not seeing.
[19:49] * Boss listens
[19:49] *** 1d10 +5
[19:49] <Sailor Carme> It kinda felt like....
[19:50] * Sailor Carme gestures to the bubble around them.
[19:50] <Sailor Carme> Like that..but..different.
[19:50] <Sailor Carme> and..the..things...they're different
[19:50] * Yura bites her lip a little.
[19:50] * Sailor Carme curses, not knowing the words to describe the feeling in.
[19:50] <Yura> W-We all use v-variations of the same powers, f-from what I know...
[19:50] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Boss rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[19:50] <Mei Tanaka> Like those ofuda we keep findin'?
[19:50] * Boss has a fit of coughing again
[19:51] <Boss> Alright screw it, let's keep goin.
[19:51] <Tealeaf Reader> We're on the right track for something, then.
[19:51] *** The chattering is close. Very close, you can't tell much more.
[19:51] <Tealeaf Reader> let's go south again.
[19:51] <Suu> okay...
[19:52] *** There's a loud snap and the thundering of footsteps.
[19:52] *** [H!P]Allison Blitz [goldengirl@mini.helloproject.co.jp] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:52] <@Diamond Dice Darkness> Greetings [H!P]Allison Blitz
[19:52] <Sailor Carme> !!
[19:52] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> (( Wow, I had no idea it was this early ))
[19:52] *** No problem you're actually got perfect timing.
[19:52] <Tealeaf Reader> (( you and me both <_<;;; ))
[19:52] <Boss> Hello. Company.
[19:52] <Tealeaf Reader> (( currently writing my Korean essay @_@; ))
[19:53] * Tealeaf Reader stops in her tracks, taking a defensive stance just to be on the cautious side
[19:53] * [H!P]Allison Blitz looks at Boss.
[19:53] *** Boss is a massive presence, in both size and spirit. Though he never speaks more than a few words, he rarely fails to get the message across. If a tank became human, it may well look like Boss. More information about him is Here.
His image Song is: "Cochise" by Audioslave. He is Level 1.
[19:53] <@DisgruntledDuelist> this can't be good.
[19:53] *** The barrier creeks and hands and limbs of spirits graze and crash against it, the usually invisible walls flickering into view each time.
[19:53] * Sailor Carme gets into a Basic Dance Stance, preparing herself.
[19:53] <Sailor Carme> Oh jeeze
[19:54] * Yura braces, bare feet digging into the dirt.
[19:54] * Suu shrieks!!!
[19:54] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Anybody have any ofuda handy?
[19:54] <Yura> Yes I may look calm b-but this is draining my chi r-really fast.
[19:54] <Yura> y-yes b-but m-my hands are occupied h-holding these ones.
[19:54] <Tealeaf Reader> I can help.
[19:54] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Where are they? Maybe I can use them
[19:54] <Tealeaf Reader> I can't put any power into them but I can wield them.
[19:55] <Sailor Carme> I could try giving you a little energy boost, Yura, if you need it.
[19:55] *** There's a figure ahead, peeking out around a tree. Just barely in sight, the outline of a second, taller figure around it.
[19:55] <Yura> I-in my b-bag at my hip.
[19:55] * Yura closes her eyes.
[19:55] * [H!P]Allison Blitz reaches into the bag
[19:56] * Yura chants, the ofuda glowing faintly as they reach the open air.
[19:56] <Boss> I get the feeling we're going to need to break through these guys instead of passing by, but if we avoid the fight we should try.
[19:56] *** The outline reaches out, one of the spirits caught in its grasp, pulled in, vanishing in chunks.
[19:56] * Sailor Carme takes a deep breath and focuses once again, glowing. She tries to get a feel/sense of the figures up ahead.
[19:56] *** Roll 1d20 Carme
[19:57] <&Diamond Dice Darkness> Sailor Carme rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[19:57] <Suu> Someone's over there
[19:57] <@DisgruntledDuelist> a hungry someone too
[19:58] *** A spirit, stronger than the small ones, unearthly. It's surrounding a smaller, more human feeling, a single point on it much, much darker.
[19:58] * [H!P]Allison Blitz takes some ofuda and hands a few to Cardea
[19:58] <Suu> Uhhh...
[19:58] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> It's all about faith, right?
[19:59] <@DisgruntledDuelist> if it's got a magic marble glued to it's chest, be careful, that means its gonna rewrite the script!
[19:59] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Well I've got faith out the wazzoo.
[19:59] * Sailor Carme sneezes loudly and rubs her nose.
[19:59] *** After a time the spirits pass, the worry and unease breaking away, leaving just the view of the figure ahead.
[19:59] * Tealeaf Reader takes them and fans them out, sticking them end-to-end to make a short whip
[19:59] <Boss> Looks like the boost worked, nice one.
[20:00] *** It's standing there, physical body peeking out around the corner of the tree.
[20:00] <@DisgruntledDuelist> aynone wanna try to make contact?
[20:00] <Sailor Carme> I say we should.
[20:00] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Who's the friendliest?
[20:00] * Tealeaf Reader steps forward.
[20:00] <Tealeaf Reader> E-excuse me, may we talk?
[20:01] * Tealeaf Reader steps to the boundary of the circle, not further yet.
[20:01] *** The body shrinks back, the spirit twists to listen.
[20:01] <Suu> (( brb ))
[20:01] *** A black ofuda shimmers against the nothingness that's twisting the background.
[20:02] <Tealeaf Reader> May I ask who you are?
[20:02] *** A hiss and the sound of a snap of jaws.
[20:02] <Tealeaf Reader> Do you speak any human languages?
[20:03] <Boss> Sounds real friendly.
[20:03] *** Another loud snap of teeth, the shimmer of blue hair fading in and out of existance.
[20:04] *** White clothing a sharp contrast to the ofuda upon the figure's forehead.
[20:04] * Tealeaf Reader blinks
[20:04] <Tealeaf Reader> blue hair, though.
[20:04] <Tealeaf Reader> I think...the ofuda might be hurting it. or her.
[20:04] <Suu> ...Ugh.
[20:04] * Yura goes a bit wide-eyed.
[20:05] <@DisgruntledDuelist> forehead..
[20:05] <Suu> Yura-san, what's wrong?
[20:06] <Boss> Anybody we know?
[20:06] <@DisgruntledDuelist> thats one of those chinese zombies, right?
[20:06] <Tealeaf Reader> i-I think it's a yura.
[20:06] <Yura> I-it's how the gimmick s-seems to be.
[20:06] <Yura> I-It's a mind-control style th-that works on the dead.
[20:06] * Yura pokes her forehead.
[20:06] <Yura> t-technically it would work on me too.
[20:07] <[H!P]Allison Blitz> Should we knock it off?
[20:07] * Yura nods.
[20:07] <Tealeaf Reader> yes.
[20:07] <Tealeaf Reader> Can anyone do it from a distance?
[20:07] <Tealeaf Reader> it might not be safe to get too close.
[20:08] <Yura> I-It's partially behind that tree...
[20:08] <Suu> So like Hsien-ko?
[20:08] <Tealeaf Reader> use your boomerang and draw the path with your stylus-- I mean uh well I don't know if I could get it but...
[20:08] <Tealeaf Reader> is there any chance another ofuda would cancel it out?
[20:08] <Sailor Carme> Wait what?
[20:08] * Sailor Carme is confused.
[20:09] <Ryoufu Krause> ...
[20:09] <Suu> Um, Cardea-san, we're not in Hyrule...
[20:09] <Ryoufu Krause> I'll get it out from behind that tree :3
[20:09] * Sailor Carme cheers on Ryoufu!
[20:09] * Boss coughs.
[20:09] * Ryoufu Krause twists her naginata skillfully.
[20:10] <Boss> You do that, I'll just make a grab for the ofuda.

[20:13] *** Ofuda rest on both their foreheads.
[20:13] <Sailor Sol> That thing IS the girl!
[20:13] <Sailor Sol> That's my friend!
[20:13] * Sailor Carme stays in the safety of the bubble, waiting for the opportunity to do some help at the right moment with the least amount of consequences to her.
[20:14] <Boss> I'll keep big sis occupied, Ryoufu see if you can whip that ofuda off the girl's head
[20:14] <Suu> Wait, is there a way to cancel out an ofuda?
[20:14] * Tealeaf Reader nods slowly.
[20:14] * Yura Dirlo Petrona rears her head back, a faint glow forming behind clenched teeth.
