[22:35] <@spiritflame> irasshai Souldier
[22:35] *** Eiry [eiry.saliena@floralheaven.com] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[22:35] <@spiritflame> irasshai Eiry
[22:36] * Souldier steps out of the Elevator.
[22:36] * Eiry follows him
[22:37] <Souldier> Just got more planning to do and it should come out looking just right. But now it just needs that 'feminine touch
[22:37] <Eiry> Oh? You're not making for a bachelor pad, then?
[22:39] <Souldier> Nah. I have you. I can't call myself a bachelor now ya know?
[22:41] * Souldier opens the door to room 1111
[22:41] <Eiry> You're so sweet, down in there.
[22:41] * Souldier blushes "I try."
[22:43] * Eiry looks around
[22:43] * Souldier 's 'Quite' is pretty bare for the most part, theres a piece of paper in certain sections one reads music area, another reads Bother X for a holographic display, a REALLY nice picture frame by the bed reads 'Super cute pic of Eiry goes HERE'
[22:44] * Eiry blushes a bit
[22:45] <Eiry> I don't think I'll ever really like getting my picture taken.
[22:46] * Souldier hugs her gently. "Makes you nervous a bit?"
[22:48] <Eiry> I suppose.
[22:49] <Eiry> So, you have lots of plans
[22:49] <Souldier> heh heh It can wait then.
[22:50] <Souldier> Yeah. I want to make sure people who hang around here feel comfortable. I'm not big on flash, ya know?
[22:50] <Eiry> Only when you're fighting.
[22:51] * Souldier laughs "Yeah. Except that."
[22:51] <Eiry> What kind of look were you going for? Modern, rustic, upscale comfortable?
[22:51] <Souldier> I suppose Minegarde is where I have it 'upscale'
[22:51] * Souldier thinks
[22:52] <Eiry> A better version of what you have in NY?
[22:52] <Eiry> And you haven't taken me there, yet.
[22:53] <Souldier> All in good time. I'd say rustic would be nice here.
[22:53] <Souldier> Whoops... I haven't?? Jeez, I really should. I think you'd really like it
[22:55] <Eiry> What's it like?
[22:56] <Souldier> well...
[22:56] <Souldier> It's got a terrific view thats for one. nice comfy bed. The balcony has a table for eating. Weather doesn't change out there so it's always nice, when it's night time there's always a really lovely breeze
[22:57] <Souldier> really nice curtains
[22:58] <Eiry> Is it near the equator?
[22:58] * Souldier hugs her slightly tighter "the top floor would be perfect for some romance. Thats where that stuff is. I have a few ornaments too. The bottom floor is a rustic design too, the top floor is upscale and pretty flashy
[22:58] <Souldier> I think so
[23:00] <Eiry> I think you like flashy things more than you think you do.
[23:01] * Souldier sweatdrops. "well. It wasn't of my design."
[23:01] <Souldier> But at night time is when it really looks lovely
[23:02] <Eiry> I can't wait to see it ^_^
[23:03] <Souldier> Um... how about, this weekend?
[23:03] <Eiry> But you could totally do a spacious cabin in here.
[23:04] <Eiry> I don't think I have much...let me check tomorrow.
[23:05] <Souldier> Oh. You have to go?
[23:05] <Eiry> No, but my schedule's at home.
[23:07] * Souldier looks relieved. "Ah. We could always just teleport over real quick if you need to"
[23:07] <Eiry> I can text you, but I don't think it'll be a problem.
[23:08] <Souldier> Alright. So, you just walked in, and already came up with a good idea for here, you really have an eye for decorating, huh?
[23:08] <Souldier> What kinda flowers would look nice in a cabin setting though
[23:09] <Eiry> Sort of...we're good at that stuff.
[23:09] <Souldier> As in Lupa in general?
[23:09] <Eiry> Depends what you end up doing. What kinds of woods and colors you pick, if you go basic or upscale.
[23:09] <Eiry> No, me and Sali.
[23:10] <Eiry> Miara's good at it too, but being astralgia makes you good at lots of things.
[23:12] <Souldier> I guess upscale then. I'll bribe the prinnies, see how fast they get that done.
[23:13] <Eiry> They do seem to be good at those things.
[23:15] <Souldier> You know...
[23:16] <Eiry> What?
[23:17] <Souldier> It's been 7 months. You must be crazy
[23:18] <Eiry> Well, sometimes I do wonder...:p
[23:18] * Souldier chuckles
[23:21] <Eiry> What are you thinking?
[23:22] <Souldier> Nothing bad
[23:22] <Souldier> I'm just thankful.
[23:24] * Souldier is blushing really obviously right now
[23:24] <Eiry> Me too.
[23:27] <Souldier> I'm glad, I'll make sure to keep it that way.
[23:27] <Eiry> Well, if I was going to go crazy, I think it would have happened a while ago.
[23:28] <Souldier> Huh? Why's that?
[23:30] <Eiry> I've been in enough situations to, I guess.
[23:31] <Eiry> It's a good think to know if you're thinking of bonding, anyway.
[23:32] <Eiry> *thing
[23:32] <Souldier> All in due time I suppose.
[23:33] <Souldier> It's gonna be weird whenever that happens.
[23:35] <Eiry> Probably. But you get used to it, I promise.
[23:35] * Souldier nods and smiles. "I trust you. I'm sure I will."
[23:39] * Souldier looks a bit lost in thought
[23:39] <Eiry> It will probably be a bit overwhelming at first.
[23:40] * Eiry watches him a moment
[23:41] <Souldier> yeah... It should be an interesting experience....
[23:43] * Souldier notices her looking and looks back
[23:45] <Eiry> I know it's hard to understand before it's done, but it is worth it.
[23:46] <Souldier> The way I feel about you, yeah I think it'll be totally worth it.
[23:49] * Eiry yawns a little, trying not to
[23:50] * Souldier scoops her up. "Time for bed dear?"
[23:50] * Souldier twirls her around playfully.
[23:50] <Eiry> I think so...
[23:50] <Eiry> hee
[23:50] * Souldier nods and steals a kiss. "Shall I take you home?"
[23:51] <Eiry> If you like.
[23:52] <Eiry> Do you have to go back soon, too?
[23:52] <Souldier> Yeah. it's kinda boring here, just a bed, no tv
[23:52] <Souldier> Not really. I can hang around as long as I want tonight.
[23:53] <Eiry> Well you're welcome to watch the TV..not sure now many channels it gets with all the damage around.
[23:54] <Souldier> Whatcha' got in mind?
[23:54] * Eiry shurgs. "I'm tired, you figure it out."
[23:55] <Souldier> Maybe watch a movie, end up with the TV watching US after we snooze
[23:55] <Eiry> Mayyybe
[23:57] <Souldier> Well. I don't have any movies here >_<
[23:57] <Eiry> Well, I do.
[23:57] <Eiry> At home.
[23:58] <Eiry> You have a teleport sword thingy.
[23:58] <Souldier> Ah, your house it is then ♡
[23:58] * Souldier takes Dimension Diver.
[23:59] * Souldier opens a portal "Wait we watchin here or at your place?"
[00:00] <Eiry> It's rather sparse here...

[15:41] * Isabella Santorini leans in closer to examine it better.
[15:41] *** you are now almost kissing the fire alarm box..wow you must really like these things
[15:42] * Isabella Santorini looks for the Fire Warning of "occupation by more than X persons is dangerous and unlawful." She is trying to find out X.

[15:47] * Isabella Santorini walks away toward the Elevator, leaving the cell phone in the stage room, and never looking back.
[15:47] <Doli Yamada> Now I've been over everything, we couldn't get the exact color of rose you wanted within your budget, so we substituted a similar one.
[15:48] <Doli Yamada> We also checked the flats for the beds, everythings is in order there.

[16:00] <Matsumi Kaze> so how can I help you

[16:01] <Matsumi Kaze> go ahead
[16:02] * Matsumi Kaze sips her drink, smiling a bit
[16:03] <Isabella Santorini> First of all. What I am asking is bigger than you or I. I'm sure you had reasons for behaving as you did. I'm sure, on some level, I should and do understand them.
[16:03] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[16:03] * Isabella Santorini looks around at any windows that might be open.
[16:03] *** the window behind Matsumi is open..at least the shades are
[16:04] <Isabella Santorini> ...I was told that you were in charge of the efforts to rebuild this city. Is that true?
[16:04] <Matsumi Kaze> that is quite true
[16:05] <Isabella Santorini> ...This is so suprising, and yet explains so much.
[16:05] * Isabella Santorini finally sits down.
[16:06] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[16:06] <Isabella Santorini> I will be frank here. This city needs help. I am in a position to offer you some help, though I can't imagine a more awkward person to offer it to.
[16:06] <Isabella Santorini> Tokyo has experienced a diaster. Many homes have been damaged.
[16:07] <Matsumi Kaze> I know that
[16:07] <Isabella Santorini> And a significant number will need shelter.
[16:08] <Isabella Santorini> As I told some of your friends, I have a chartered Cruise Liner in the harbor. I have enough food and logding to feed and house several hundred people, for almost an entire month.
[16:08] <Matsumi Kaze> well I doubt this will take a month
[16:08] * Isabella Santorini looks upset.
[16:09] <Matsumi Kaze> well please tell me what the rest you have to say is
[16:09] * Matsumi Kaze offers to refill Isabella's glass
[16:10] <Isabella Santorini> Miss. I am willing to pay for flights to get the vacationers off of that vessel, and offer it as a refuge for those whose homes are damaged. At least those that have young children who would likely face the most trauma.
[16:11] <Matsumi Kaze> and your ship will have this room?
[16:11] <Isabella Santorini> There are already numerous smaller vessels that fled Tokyo on the night of the disaster, and were able to get through the port exit after the ship blocking it was sunk. I am currently supplying all of those vessels with food and medical care.
[16:12] <Matsumi Kaze> will your other...guests...be alright with this?
[16:12] <Isabella Santorini> But I can do more.
[16:12] * Matsumi Kaze drinks
[16:13] <Isabella Santorini> As I said, flights can be chartered for those who feel it is necessary to leave.
[16:13] <Matsumi Kaze> well let's hear the rest of what you have to say before I answer that one
[16:14] <Isabella Santorini> I'd like that answer now, actually.
[16:14] <Isabella Santorini> Because I am not sure I would want to deal with someone unwilling to help those people.
[16:14] <Matsumi Kaze> well...alright...I agree to it..on conditions
[16:15] <Isabella Santorini> My professional and personal and business interests are not as important as giving those affected by the cataclysm peoper food, medical care, and a place to sleep.
[16:15] <Isabella Santorini> ...Conditions?
[16:15] <Isabella Santorini> Such as what?
[16:15] <Matsumi Kaze> one the ship stays in the bay the entire time..close to the harbor
[16:16] <Matsumi Kaze> two you let on board one of my personal to help you out
[16:16] <Matsumi Kaze> that way I feel a bit more like this is a partnership :)
[16:16] <Isabella Santorini> Mrs. Kaze. We have already spread the word among the passengers that there is engine trouble. Having tugboats move the ship into dock for "repairs" would not be a difficult thing.
[16:17] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[16:17] <Matsumi Kaze> do you agree with the personal thing then?
[16:17] * Isabella Santorini thinks hard.
[16:18] <Isabella Santorini> There are things on that ship that are....
[16:18] <Isabella Santorini> Who would you wish to send aboard?
[16:18] <Matsumi Kaze> you mean your fellow heroes?
[16:18] * Matsumi Kaze drinks
[16:18] <Isabella Santorini> ...................................
[16:18] * Isabella Santorini immediately stands up.
[16:19] * Isabella Santorini walks over to the window.
[16:19] <Matsumi Kaze> please sit down
[16:19] * Isabella Santorini shuts it.
[16:19] * Isabella Santorini pulls the curtains to.
[16:19] * Isabella Santorini goes over and sits back down.
[16:19] <Matsumi Kaze> aww...I was enjoying the sunlight
[16:19] <Isabella Santorini> I'm sorry, I did not quite catch that.
[16:20] <Matsumi Kaze> your ship I belive was carrying a group of people we would term as superheroes
[16:20] <Isabella Santorini> ....I'm not so sure about this agreement any more.
[16:20] <Isabella Santorini> Some people on that ship have their entire lives ahead of them.
[16:20] <Matsumi Kaze> Isabella..let's put our cards on the table
[16:21] <Matsumi Kaze> who do you think it was who sent that...vessal..to save your ship
[16:21] <Isabella Santorini> ...
[16:22] <Matsumi Kaze> why don't you sit down
[16:22] <Matsumi Kaze> standing up..makes you look so stiff
[16:22] * Isabella Santorini looks nervous.
[16:22] <Isabella Santorini> You are not a human.
[16:23] <Isabella Santorini> We know this. We knew this.
[16:23] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[16:23] <Matsumi Kaze> alright?
[16:23] <Matsumi Kaze> and this matters how?
[16:23] <Isabella Santorini> And we came in friendship. But were rebuffed.
[16:23] <Isabella Santorini> That's fine. I don't care about that.
[16:23] <Isabella Santorini> Deniability is our business.
[16:24] <Matsumi Kaze> well when you came I didn't know what you were doing...
[16:24] <Matsumi Kaze> I was in a very weak postion
[16:24] * Isabella Santorini clearly does not believe a word of this.
[16:24] <Isabella Santorini> That is not true.
[16:24] <Isabella Santorini> If you were in a weak position, you would not be in charge now.
[16:24] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[16:25] <Matsumi Kaze> well I managed to survive the worse of it
[16:25] <Isabella Santorini> Matsumi. I wanted, very much, to invest in this theater. It was a personal an professional dream of mine.
[16:25] <Matsumi Kaze> and now with the support I have I don't really worry terribly
[16:25] <Isabella Santorini> But there were practical reasons I wanted it too.
[16:26] <Matsumi Kaze> oh?
[16:26] <Isabella Santorini> Oh yes.
[16:27] <Isabella Santorini> We have money. We'd like to have seats on reserve, or balcony seats, so that specific people could be seen in public here.
[16:27] <Matsumi Kaze> well I'm afraid taht money isn't a problem here
[16:27] <Isabella Santorini> It did not look like that before.
[16:27] <Matsumi Kaze> I mean the theater is backed by the Kaioh group as well as the Subaru industries..
[16:28] <Isabella Santorini> Yes. AND the Suminaka corporation, who never returned one call.
[16:28] <Matsumi Kaze> Rising Star Media.....um...the Glycene Family Fortunes...the Penoit Family Fortunes...
[16:28] * Isabella Santorini looks upset.
[16:28] <Matsumi Kaze> oh they were friends of mine...I simply used their backing as a smoke screen
[16:28] <Isabella Santorini> And why not the Santorini Theater Houses as a backer too?
[16:28] <Matsumi Kaze> they no longer own the building
[16:30] <Isabella Santorini> Why can't we have seats on reserve here?
[16:30] <Matsumi Kaze> oh you can
[16:30] <Matsumi Kaze> I won't stop you
[16:30] <Matsumi Kaze> you can however only have a certain number of seats on reserve
[16:31] <Isabella Santorini> Why?
[16:31] <Matsumi Kaze> it's theatre policy
[16:31] <Matsumi Kaze> we try to leave as much seats open to paying customers as we can
[16:31] * Isabella Santorini looks angry.
[16:32] <Isabella Santorini> We said we would pay you.
[16:32] * Matsumi Kaze smiles "I mean we can't have the theatre being completely rented out"
[16:32] <Isabella Santorini> You also said that money was not a problem.
[16:32] <Matsumi Kaze> well I know but that's not the point
[16:32] <Matsumi Kaze> Isabella....
[16:32] <Isabella Santorini> Then what is the point?
[16:32] <Matsumi Kaze> I'm doing this cause I want to be open to people in the community...
[16:32] * Isabella Santorini leans over Matsumi's desk.
[16:32] <Matsumi Kaze> the average man and woman
[16:32] <Matsumi Kaze> I want them to come and be able to get seats
[16:33] <Isabella Santorini> You come from a different world, Matsumi Kaze.
[16:33] <Isabella Santorini> Absolutely everyone accepts your efforts here.
[16:33] <Isabella Santorini> You and your friends.
[16:33] <Isabella Santorini> They do not thirst for your identities, or question your motives.
[16:33] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[16:33] <Matsumi Kaze> well no
[16:33] <Isabella Santorini> That is not always the case.
[16:33] <Matsumi Kaze> that's cause they trust me
[16:33] <Matsumi Kaze> well I know that
[16:33] <Isabella Santorini> Some people NEED to be seen in public. Some people NEED alibis, and I came here to secure them.
[16:34] <Isabella Santorini> Deniability is our businiess, because deniability is our defensive mechanism.
[16:35] <Isabella Santorini> So you will want, not doubt, to search the ship with your personnel, despite my offering it as a shelter for refugees.
[16:35] <Isabella Santorini> That breaks my heart to hear that.
[16:35] <Matsumi Kaze> oh Isabella Isabella IS-A-BELLA
[16:35] <Matsumi Kaze> you are missing the point
[16:36] <Isabella Santorini> .....
[16:36] <Matsumi Kaze> of course I'm going to have my personal there...it's a team effort
[16:36] <Matsumi Kaze> you have to stop being so defensive
[16:37] <Isabella Santorini> There are weapons on that ship.
[16:37] <Isabella Santorini> Powerful weapons.
[16:37] <Matsumi Kaze> well ok?
[16:37] <Matsumi Kaze> so?
[16:37] <Isabella Santorini> It is better if we handle things, such as who goes where.
[16:37] <Matsumi Kaze> we'll keep the children away from those
[16:38] * Matsumi Kaze starts to chuckle a bit "you don't trust me at all, do you?"
[16:38] <Isabella Santorini> Do you trust me?
[16:38] <Isabella Santorini> We tried very hard. VERY hard.
[16:40] <Isabella Santorini> But you already want to set conditions, on where the ship can go, and who goes aboard. Yes, I suppose we'll need YOUR help to get the chartered flights take-off permission, and I truly do want to help those people, but many of us DESPISE subservience.
[16:40] <Isabella Santorini> We were already told that "what you said was final."
[16:41] <Matsumi Kaze> well..there are times when you MAKE trusting difficult
[16:41] <Isabella Santorini> I do not feel those are the foundations of a partnership.
[16:41] * Matsumi Kaze spins a CD on her finger...
[16:41] <Isabella Santorini> Oh. What a shame.
[16:41] <Isabella Santorini> What a true shame.
[16:41] * Isabella Santorini looks at which CD it is.
[16:42] <Isabella Santorini> Ah. That one.
[16:42] * Isabella Santorini reaches into her bag, and puts a wrapped gift on the table in front of Matsumi.
[16:43] <Matsumi Kaze> we did some looking at the contents of the CD
[16:43] * Isabella Santorini looks extremely hopeful. "And what did you find?"
[16:43] <Matsumi Kaze> can I be bluntly honest with you, Isabella
[16:43] * Isabella Santorini is starting to smile.
[16:43] <Matsumi Kaze> please...and don't be offended
[16:43] * Matsumi Kaze puts the CD aside for the second
[16:43] <Isabella Santorini> Why don't you do that after you open your present, Mrs. Kaze?
[16:43] <Isabella Santorini> Then you can be bluntly honest.
[16:44] * Matsumi Kaze opens the gift
[16:44] * Isabella Santorini pushes the gift over to Matsumi.
[16:44] *** The gift is the same as the one for Sarah. A beautiful, custom-made Earphone and CD player, with silver trim.
[16:45] <Isabella Santorini> When you have grown weary with the responsibility of this, and need to rest, use that.
[16:45] <Matsumi Kaze> why thank you
[16:45] <Matsumi Kaze> the thing is Isabella
[16:45] <Matsumi Kaze> at times...you act so defenseive
[16:45] * Isabella Santorini looks at the CD Matsumi is holding.
[16:45] <Matsumi Kaze> so supcious
[16:46] <Matsumi Kaze> so....I don't know..on the edge of things
[16:46] <Matsumi Kaze> that it's redciously impossible to trust you
[16:46] * Isabella Santorini hands Matsumi a CD marked "Eon Echoes," Listen to this one.
[16:46] <Isabella Santorini> Look.
[16:46] <Isabella Santorini> I already told you. Deniability is how we survive.
[16:47] <Isabella Santorini> Much pain was taken to organize this on the vacation tiem for a lot of employees. To find a theater nearby so we could make contact.
[16:47] <Matsumi Kaze> deniablitly can also kill you honestly
[16:47] <Matsumi Kaze> I've met several people like you.....
[16:47] <Isabella Santorini> You would seem to know.
[16:47] <Matsumi Kaze> and honestly I always keeps me wondering how I should trust them....
[16:48] <Matsumi Kaze> so I always end up just ignorning them cause of that
[16:48] <Isabella Santorini> I resent being singled out for blame, because I did not have enough information.\
[16:48] * Matsumi Kaze offers Isabella more Sake
[16:48] <spiritflame> Isabella Santorini rolls 3d6 [ 4, 5, 1 ]
[16:48] <Matsumi Kaze> the world may be filled with grey spots of morality...
[16:48] <Isabella Santorini> No drinks.
[16:49] <Matsumi Kaze> but that doesn't mean we can't act dedently to one another
[16:49] <Matsumi Kaze> *decently
[16:49] * Matsumi Kaze shrugs and drinks
[16:49] <Isabella Santorini> We tried to do that.
[16:49] <Isabella Santorini> We really did.
[16:49] <Isabella Santorini> Was that your blunt honesty?
[16:49] <Matsumi Kaze> mmhm
[16:49] <Isabella Santorini> Because if it was, I have a question... Why do you have that CD?
[16:50] <Matsumi Kaze> it was given to me
[16:50] <Matsumi Kaze> by a friend who took it off my cousin
[16:50] <Isabella Santorini> Ah. So you "took" it, not so much was it given to you.
[16:51] <Isabella Santorini> Well, here. You have just recieved your own.
[16:51] <Isabella Santorini> Why don't you give me that one?
[16:51] <Matsumi Kaze> sure it doesn't matter anyway *tosses to the CD to Isabella*
[16:51] <Matsumi Kaze> we scanned the entire disc and still have the data off it
[16:51] <Matsumi Kaze> all of it
[16:51] <Isabella Santorini> Why does it not matter, Mrs. Kaze?
[16:52] <Matsumi Kaze> CD isn't needed anymore
[16:52] <Isabella Santorini> Ah. But you might have missed something.
[16:52] <Matsumi Kaze> I doubt it
[16:52] * Matsumi Kaze smirks
[16:52] <Isabella Santorini> Ah, but you have.
[16:52] <Matsumi Kaze> which is?
[16:52] <Isabella Santorini> Here, why don't you play this song...
[16:53] * Isabella Santorini reaches over, and switches the CD in the player, and then hands it back to Matsumi.
[16:54] * Matsumi Kaze puts on the earphones.....closing her eyes tightly...
[16:55] * Isabella Santorini smiles. And hits "Play."
[16:56] * Beautiful, calming music floods Matsumi's ears.
[16:56] * Matsumi Kaze seems to listen....
[16:57] * Soft Music quietly plays to Matsumi Kaze, triggering a relaxed state. It seems to be the EXACT thing that the CD she has already listened to was talking about.
[16:58] * Custom Earphones help channel the sound into Matsumi's ears, keeping Isabella from hearing it.
[16:58] * Matsumi Kaze clamly relaxes...keeping her eyes closed
[16:58] * Soft, hidden pulse begins to play, obfuscated by the tones.
[16:59] * Isabella's Song is relaxing, but not overwhelmingly so.
[16:59] <Isabella Santorini> Matsumi... do you like the song?
[16:59] <Matsumi Kaze> oh..quite so
[17:00] * Isabella Santorini looks very hopeful.
[17:00] <Isabella Santorini> I think... I really think you may have missed something.
[17:00] <Isabella Santorini> Maybe if you played this song, it would come to you.
[17:01] <Isabella Santorini> Matsumi. There are some things I can't tell you, just as there are no doubt many things you cannot tell me.
[17:01] * Matsumi Kaze opens her eyes which are completely green now
[17:02] <Isabella Santorini> I understand that. I want you to know that... these CDs are special. There are are extremely few in the world.
[17:02] * Matsumi Kaze removes the earphones and her eyes turn back to normal
[17:02] <Matsumi Kaze> so I understand..interesting
[17:03] <Isabella Santorini> ...I had very high hopes when I came here.
[17:03] <Isabella Santorini> I truly think you missed something. Maybe if you listen to that song... REALLY listened to it, then you'd begin to understand.
[17:04] <Isabella Santorini> That song. It changed my life.
[17:04] * Matsumi Kaze simply nods
[17:04] <Isabella Santorini> Please understand, if you listen to that music... (takes the second CD included in the Gift and breaks it) ...then I will always be willing to tell you more.
[17:05] <Matsumi Kaze> very well...if you will give me one promise
[17:05] <Isabella Santorini> I will try, but remember something... You are aware that some things cannot simply be given away. Trust must be earned, and secrets must be discovered on their own.
[17:06] <Isabella Santorini> Please listen to the song, without prejudice. Please.
[17:06] <Isabella Santorini> I did not make it.
[17:06] <Matsumi Kaze> promise me...that you will not try...and buy this theatre
[17:06] <Isabella Santorini> .....
[17:07] <Isabella Santorini> Mrs. Kaze.
[17:07] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[17:07] * Isabella Santorini grabs a piece of paper from her purse, writes something on it, and then folds it up, and holds it up on the table so it can't be read.
[17:08] <Isabella Santorini> Can you tell me why you don't want me to buy it? I'm not asking for the reason, I'm asking if you can tell me or not.
[17:08] * Isabella Santorini slides the piece of paper towards Matsumi, with her hand still on it.
[17:10] <Isabella Santorini> If you cannot tell me, I don't want to know.
[17:10] <Matsumi Kaze> because this theatre is the soul of this city....and as the guardien of it...I can't let it go
[17:10] * Isabella Santorini bows her head. "I see. I understand.'
[17:10] <Isabella Santorini> I truly do.
[17:10] * Isabella Santorini reveals the thing she wrote on the paper.
[17:10] * Matsumi Kaze looks
[17:10] *** Paper reads. "I have already given up on it. I truly understand why you can't sell it. I shall trouble you no more."
[17:11] <Isabella Santorini> Mrs. Kaze... I will depart now.
[17:12] <Matsumi Kaze> I'll see you again
[17:12] * Matsumi Kaze slides something over to Isabella
[17:12] <Isabella Santorini> ...I truly pray you will. I hope you listen.
[17:12] * Isabella Santorini looks at what it is.
[17:13] *** Matsumi has given a box seat ticket to the new Revue next week
[17:13] <Isabella Santorini> !!!!!!
[17:13] <Isabella Santorini> I forgot!
[17:13] <Isabella Santorini> Oh my god, I forgot!
[17:14] <Isabella Santorini> You are holding a fundraiser!
[17:14] <Isabella Santorini> I want to be there!
[17:14] <Matsumi Kaze> hope to see you there :)
[17:14] <Isabella Santorini> I never miss a party for a good cause! Where will it be?
[17:14] <Matsumi Kaze> here at this theatre
[17:14] <Isabella Santorini> ....Oh.
[17:14] <Isabella Santorini> Well that's ... that's great.
[17:15] * Isabella Santorini clenches the tickets tightly.
[17:15] <Isabella Santorini> I will... I'll await contact from you.
[17:16] <Isabella Santorini> I will meet your people when they come to inspect the ship, I had hoped you would not find it necessary to dock it, since the fishing vesels are still dependent, but I would like to offer them assistance too, since they trust us.
[17:16] * Isabella Santorini gets up.
[17:16] * Isabella Santorini looks at the CD player, hopefully.
[17:16] <Matsumi Kaze> of course
[17:16] <Matsumi Kaze> I'll give it a listen
[17:16] * Isabella Santorini looks at the CD she broke, and takes it with her, as well as the other one that Matsumi gave her.
[17:17] <Isabella Santorini> Remember... please listen to that one.
[17:17] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[17:19] <Isabella Santorini> You can search it all you want.
[17:20] <Isabella Santorini> But I feel VERY confident that you missed something, even if you think you know everything about the other one. It's really impossible if you are looking at things from one direction. That CD will helpfully make things intersect, and open your eyes to the bigger picture.
[17:21] <Matsumi Kaze> I will try listening to it...are you sure you don't want another glass of Sake?
[17:21] <Isabella Santorini> There is somebody else that demands to meet with you... would you like for me to start the music for you, so you can listen to it until he gets here?
[17:21] <Isabella Santorini> ...Yes. I trust you. I'll drink another one, sure.
[17:22] * Isabella Santorini looks at the CD player, hopefully.
[17:22] * Matsumi Kaze pours another glass and hands it to Isabella
[17:22] <Matsumi Kaze> I'm not going to listen to it now, by the way
[17:22] * Isabella Santorini drinks, and smiles.
[17:22] <Matsumi Kaze> probably later
[17:23] <Isabella Santorini> That's fine! Just do it at your convenience. I'm really sorry we got off on the wrong foot.
[17:23] <Isabella Santorini> I really think that crisis is responsible.
[17:23] <Isabella Santorini> I think we could have become fast friends. I really do.
[17:23] <Isabella Santorini> Mistakes were made, I know that. I am sorry for them, because many were my own....
[17:24] <Isabella Santorini> And... I'd like to speak to your cousin some other time... please. I need to tell her something extremely important.
[17:24] <Matsumi Kaze> I will! at the moment, she's rather busy helping with the clean up
[17:25] <Isabella Santorini> ...I could go pick her up, but... she's afraid of me. I just want to help her calm down so she is not terrified.
[17:25] <Isabella Santorini> I hate it when people are afraid of me for the wrong reasons.
[17:25] <Isabella Santorini> ...But I know now is not the time.
[17:26] <Isabella Santorini> I'm sure... I'm sure that things will be better.
[17:26] <Isabella Santorini> Thank you for seeing me.
[17:26] * Isabella Santorini bows, extremely clumsily, and leaves Isabella's office.
[17:26] <Matsumi Kaze> my pleasure, Isabella
[17:26] * Isabella Santorini walks silently through the theatre, and gets back into the Limousine.
[17:27] *** Isabella Santorini has quit IRC (The status of "hero" like throwing a party, is impossible when you are alone.)
[17:27] *** The_Face [WatchingYouAlways@FuturaPD.org] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[17:27] <@spiritflame> irasshai The_Face
[17:27] * The_Face walks out of an alley, and up to the Theatre.
[17:28] * The_Face goes to the main entrance, and knocks politely.
[17:29] <The_Face> Excuse me, is anyone there?
[17:29] * The_Face raps on the door with his cane.
[17:29] *** the main entrance is open
[17:30] <Emi Sawyer> oh hey there! welcome to the New Grand Imperial Theatre
[17:31] <Emi Sawyer> are you here to buy tickets...
[17:31] <Emi Sawyer> oh! are you here for the new Bromides? I'm sorry but those aren't avalible yet
[17:32] <Emi Sawyer> they should be in by tomorrow
[17:34] * The_Face shows the card he got from Senku, that guarantees an audience with Matsumi Kaze.
[17:34] <Emi Sawyer> oh! it's down the hall that way *points*
[17:35] *** OOC: sorry LL..I seriously got the location of the manager's office wrong..it should have been on the first floor
[17:35] * The_Face bows and tips his hat, and walks through the hall in absolute silence.
[17:36] *** people are walking back and forth...most moving props and such
[17:38] *** the Manager's Office is open
[17:44] * Matsumi Kaze is sitting at her desk, looking over something on her desk computer
[18:03] * The_Face walks into Matsumi Kaze's office, and closes the door, he coughs a couple of times.
[18:04] <The_Face> Pardon me, please.
[18:04] <Matsumi Kaze> oh! have a seat!
[18:04] * The_Face bows, then takes off his cape and hat, puts them on a stand near the door.
[18:05] <The_Face> I thank you for your hospitality, madam.
[18:05] * The_Face is suddenly wracked by wet coughing. "Pardon me. Please."
[18:05] <Matsumi Kaze> that's fine
[18:05] <The_Face> I wish to speak with you about something important.
[18:06] <Matsumi Kaze> do you require some water?
[18:06] <The_Face> ...I can't drink that, I apologize.
[18:06] <Matsumi Kaze> alright, then let's talk *smiles*
[18:07] * The_Face nods.
[18:07] <The_Face> Some time ago, I found out that you were only feigning your death, and I agreed to keep silent.
[18:08] <Matsumi Kaze> mmhm
[18:08] <The_Face> I did not even tell the people aboard the Cruise Liner, because I have given my word, and because I felt a gesture of trust was needed.
[18:09] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[18:09] <The_Face> I would like something in return.
[18:09] * The_Face adjusts his mask, carefully.
[18:10] <Matsumi Kaze> and that is?
[18:11] * The_Face looks at the CD player.
[18:11] <The_Face> It has to do with that, right there. And with Sarah.
[18:11] <The_Face> I kept my word to you, in spite of the fact that I knew it would cause problems.
[18:11] <Matsumi Kaze> alright
[18:11] <The_Face> Those CDs are part of the problem.
[18:12] <The_Face> Is that.. is that another of the players, or is that Ms. Christensson's player?
[18:12] * The_Face leans over the desk.
[18:12] <Matsumi Kaze> that is mine
[18:14] <The_Face> She gave you your own copy? She must have VERY special feelings for you.
[18:14] <The_Face> Er... well.
[18:14] <The_Face> Have you... have you listened to the CD?
[18:15] <Matsumi Kaze> not yet
[18:16] <The_Face> ...There are things I cannot tell you. There are things you cannot tell me.
[18:16] <The_Face> But it's very important that you DO listen to it, extremely carefully.
[18:17] <The_Face> This has to do with Sarah, your cousin.
[18:17] <Matsumi Kaze> alright
[18:18] <The_Face> Does Sarah Christensson, your cousin, act in the plays? Because she is an excellent actor.
[18:18] <The_Face> Isabella said she always seemed to be crying. To be distraught, and her guilt over exacerbating this was terrible.
[18:19] <The_Face> So she tried to help. But Santorini, being utterly self important, does not always have good judgment.
[18:19] * The_Face shakes his head slowly.
[18:20] <Matsumi Kaze> she's quite good at acting yes *smiles*
[18:21] <The_Face> You must understand. She wanted her to forget about your deaths. And, keeping my word, I did not tell her that such was not necessary.
[18:22] <The_Face> Have you listened to the Music yourself? It was created by a remarkable individual. A truly exemplary man, who was a treasure to the world. Have you had the chance to enjoy it yet?
[18:23] <Matsumi Kaze> not yet, I'm going to listen to it tonight
[18:24] <The_Face> Are you sure you have not heard it yet? I could play it for you now, but I don't think you could fully enjoy it here. I think you might miss something.
[18:25] <Matsumi Kaze> I'd rather not listen to it at the moment, thank you :)
[18:26] <The_Face> Isabella caused trouble. Big trouble. She really only wanted to help your cousin forget her problems, however, and so she slipped a pre-paid card that could be used to call one of our transports, or pay for a ferry to the boat.
[18:27] <The_Face> Would you say you are a cautious person, Mrs. Kaze?
[18:27] * The_Face adjusts his mask a bit.
[18:27] <Matsumi Kaze> at times, yes
[18:29] <The_Face> And that is perfectly reasonable, provided you are cautious about the right things.
[18:29] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[18:29] <The_Face> Isabella is not like that.
[18:29] <The_Face> She is overly cautious about some things, and throws caution to the wind on other occaisions.
[18:30] <Matsumi Kaze> so I can see
[18:32] <The_Face> So my advice to you is this... tonight, when the stresses of your position of responsibility, have made you weary...
[18:33] <The_Face> Find a nice, comfy bed. Take a nice hot bath, and light some aromatherapy candles. Then find a nice, luxurious bed, and lie down on it with the headphones gently secured around your head. Then, close your eyes, and hit the specially marked button.
[18:34] * Matsumi Kaze smiles "thank you for the advice"
[18:34] <The_Face> And, for once, let my friend's gift soothe and calm you. Let it guide your thoughts and relax, like a coocoon of musical spider silk. Let it open your mind, and ease your burdens.
[18:35] <The_Face> Listen to the music, let it guide you, and---FOR ONCE, enjoy the tranquility that you would have enjoyed if the world did not need you to keep bearing the load that you must.
[18:36] <Matsumi Kaze> I will ^_^
[18:36] <The_Face> Okay?
[18:36] * The_Face nods.
[18:38] <The_Face> Please, if at all possible, convince your cousin to meet with us aboard the ship once again. She is a fascinating young woman, and I think letting go would be good for her for once. If you could arrange for her to visit us again, so we could calm her fears, and let Isabella and her have a chance to actually be friends without this baggage of misunderstanding, then that would be grand.
[18:39] <The_Face> For keeping your secret, this is all I ask from you. I want nothing more.
[18:39] <Matsumi Kaze> alright *smiles*
[18:40] * The_Face stands, and bows to Matsumi.
[18:42] <The_Face> Are you sure you would not like me to start the music for you now? It's very relaxing, if you have not heard it yet. And there is something special in it that it shall whisper only to you.
[18:43] <The_Face> But... I shall take my leave now. We wish you luck, and will happily work with you about allowing the cruise ship to house as many victims as possible, provided you can "loosen things up" at the airport, and get the vacationers out of here in a timely manner.
[18:43] <The_Face> And....
[18:44] * The_Face looks a somewhat bashful. "I would very much like to visit your theatre again some time. It is... more than I ever hoped for.
[18:44] * The_Face takes his cane, hat, and cape, puts them on, and tips his hat to Matsumi Kaze.
[18:44] <The_Face> I wish you the best, madame.
[18:45] <The_Face> ...And I offer you my fondest thanks for your time.
[18:45] *** Absolute darkness surrounds The_Face, and when it recedes, he is gone.
[18:45] *** The_Face [WatchingYouAlways@FuturaPD.org] has quit IRC ("One may smile ,and smile, and be a Villain." [Hamlet act 1 Scene I])
[18:48] * Matsumi Kaze shrugs and goes back to work
[18:48] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi3
[23:11] *** Lore: AQ Timeline. Location: Unknown, near Drakel settlement
[23:11] <ArcheryGirl> It shouldn't be much further
[23:12] <ArcheryGirl> Once we get out these woods we should be there.
[23:14] <Anthony Suthers> I hope not. I hope not.
[23:15] <ArcheryGirl> Why do you hope not?
[23:15] <Anthony Suthers> Because this is the only place we appear to belong.
[23:15] * Anthony Suthers keeps advancing.
[23:15] <ArcheryGirl> Lost in the woods?
[23:16] * ArcheryGirl keeps walking
[23:17] * Scream can be hear from ahead, that cuts off in the middle of the scream, like someone pauseing a recording
[23:17] <Anthony Suthers> ...Please tell me we can go around?
[23:18] <ArcheryGirl> No, considering it's coming from our destination
[23:18] * ArcheryGirl hurries out of the woods
[23:19] * Anthony Suthers runs faster.
[23:21] </dm> You find a large crater. Nothing else. It is the size of a town or small city.
[23:21] *** ^
[23:21] <ArcheryGirl> .............
[23:22] <Anthony Suthers> This was a fun few weeks, Wendy, but I hope there is more than this.
[23:22] <ArcheryGirl> ............ This is where it should be.
[23:23] <Anthony Suthers> Would they have known we were coming?
[23:23] <ArcheryGirl> Were we too late?
[23:23] <ArcheryGirl> They didn't just up and move
[23:23] * Anthony Suthers grabs Wendy, and pulls her back into the woods.
[23:23] <Anthony Suthers> Come on.
[23:23] <Anthony Suthers> We need to get out of the open. We'll follow the forest until we get closer.
[23:24] * ArcheryGirl nods and follows Tony
[23:25] * Anthony Suthers follows the forest, and looks for the highest point.
[23:25] * Anthony Suthers looks for a hill, or the tallest tree he can find.
[23:25] <Anthony Suthers> Alright, Wendy, tell me about the people we are dropping by to visit.
[23:26] *** There are pently of Trees, alot of them are tall
[23:26] <ArcheryGirl> Drakel. They're a race of humanoid lizards
[23:26] <ArcheryGirl> They're not keen on outsiders though their King is quite kind
[23:26] <Anthony Suthers> Alright, what do they eat?
[23:26] * Anthony Suthers keeps going.
[23:27] <ArcheryGirl> Food, same as you and me.
[23:27] * ArcheryGirl looks at tony like that's a stupid question
[23:27] <Anthony Suthers> Fish? Eggs? Vegetables? Fruit?
[23:27] <Anthony Suthers> Think. If they are in a city, where would they get their food from?
[23:28] <ArcheryGirl> I would assume they either hunt animals in the forest or grow crops in the city
[23:29] <Anthony Suthers> And that was the city?
[23:30] <ArcheryGirl> Yes. It should be right there
[23:30] * Anthony Suthers finds a tree that looks the tallest, which is on a higher bit of ground.
[23:30] <Anthony Suthers> Alright.
[23:30] * Anthony Suthers grabs hold of the trunk, and shimmies up the tree with incredible skill.
[23:30] <Anthony Suthers> I need to check something.
[23:30] * Anthony Suthers stops at the treetop, and looks around the surrounding area.
[23:31] * ArcheryGirl grabs the branches of a nearby three and climbs up via the branchs
[23:33] *** The crater is the only place large enough to hold the city... is the crater
[23:35] <Anthony Suthers> Well. They are there.
[23:35] <Anthony Suthers> We just can't see them.
[23:35] <Anthony Suthers> No wonder your boss wants an alliance.
[23:35] * ArcheryGirl hops down the tree.
[23:36] <ArcheryGirl> I'm going to check out the crater
[23:36] * ArcheryGirl starts walking twords the crater.
[23:37] <Anthony Suthers> ...
[23:37] * Anthony Suthers walks with ArcheryGirl.
[23:37] <Anthony Suthers> Here. Let me hold your hand.
[23:37] <ArcheryGirl> I'm fine.
[23:37] <Anthony Suthers> Human male and female are less threatening when they have a easy explanation for why they are together.
[23:38] <Anthony Suthers> I am trying to *avoid* giving people in the city the wrong idea, and I am operating under teh assumption that they can see us.
[23:38] *** You reach the edge of the crater. It's a real crater
[23:38] <Anthony Suthers> But... do as you will.
[23:38] <ArcheryGirl> Except the city isn't here
[23:38] * ArcheryGirl reachs into the crater. It's a crater
[23:38] <Anthony Suthers> Then the next step is to see how long it's been gone.
[23:38] * Anthony Suthers looks if there is water pooled at the bottom of the crater.
[23:39] *** There is none
[23:40] <Anthony Suthers> Wendy, how recently has it rained?
[23:40] <ArcheryGirl> Not since we arrived
[23:40] * Anthony Suthers looks for animal tracks around the crater.
[23:40] <ArcheryGirl> Least not where we've been
[23:42] *** There is however, someone laying in the crater
[23:42] <Anthony Suthers> ...
[23:42] <ArcheryGirl> Someone's down there
[23:42] <Anthony Suthers> Come on! We have to help that person.
[23:42] * ArcheryGirl starts climbing down
[23:42] <Anthony Suthers> You stay here. If it's a trap, kill 'em.
[23:42] * Anthony Suthers runs over to the person.
[23:43] * Female Drakel is laying there, on her death bed. "The Devourer... returned.. but.... a woman...
[23:44] * Anthony Suthers takes a pulse as best he can. "Go on. We can help you."
[23:45] <Female Drakel> She's responsible... city.... gone... called it "partial uncreation..."
[23:45] <Anthony Suthers> Did she wear black and red?
[23:45] * Female Drakel nods
[23:45] <Anthony Suthers> '
[23:45] <Anthony Suthers> We are her sworn enemies.
[23:46] <Female Drakel> Good... luck
[23:46] * Female Drakel does
[23:46] <Female Drakel> *dies
[23:46] * Anthony Suthers pulls out a knife.
[23:46] * Anthony Suthers makes absolutely certain she is dead.
[23:47] * Sailor Neggerra appears behind Tony and Wendy
[23:47] *** Sailor Neggerra [SenshiOfUncreation@Neggerra.net] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[23:47] <@spiritflame> irasshai Sailor Neggerra *** Happy Birthday, Doctor Xadium!!
[23:47] * Anthony Suthers takes this opportunity to slice open the skin of the drakel.
[23:48] * Anthony Suthers peels the skin back, glancing at Sailor Neggerra out of the corner of his eye.
[23:48] * ArcheryGirl grabs Tony and spins him around "Stop torutreing the dead and focus"
[23:48] * Anthony Suthers does his level best to figure out where the vital spots on a Drakel are.
[23:48] <Anthony Suthers> Wendy, the dead should serve the living.
[23:49] <spiritflame> Anthony Suthers rolls 3d6 [ 5, 5, 6 ]
[23:49] * Anthony Suthers can't make head nor tail of the anatomy, and puts the knife away.
[23:49] * Anthony Suthers stands up.
[23:49] <ArcheryGirl> Tell that to Mormeril next time you see him. I'm sure he'd LOVE to here it
[23:50] * Sailor Neggerra just floats there in the air. "Are you quite finished?
[23:50] <Anthony Suthers> He is not here, is he?
[23:50] * Anthony Suthers kicks over the body, and stands up.
[23:50] <ArcheryGirl> FOCUS
[23:50] * Anthony Suthers looks at Sailor Neggerra.
[23:50] *** Sailor Neggerra is is apparently a Sol System senshi. Her fuku is red with back accents She is about 5'9" and has long red hair and green eyes.. On her wrists are silver bracelets that look similar to Galaixa's.
Her image Song is: Sinful Rose. She is Level 1.
[23:50] * Sailor Neggerra is floating sideways
[23:51] * Sailor Neggerra taks on a few 0s to that level
[23:52] * Anthony Suthers secures his primitive bow on his back.
[23:52] <Anthony Suthers> Wendy. We should leave here.
[23:53] <Anthony Suthers> She's won. We'll never get the Gene Sequencer from the Drakel now.
[23:53] <Anthony Suthers> Come on.
[23:53] <ArcheryGirl> Get the what now?
[23:54] <Sailor Neggerra> Heh. Yes. Run away. Leave this world to me to harvest
[23:54] <Anthony Suthers> COME ON.
[23:54] <Anthony Suthers> Forget it. You've already lost.
[23:54] <Sailor Neggerra> Hmmm?
[23:55] <Anthony Suthers> Harvest? Well, If you have your heart set upon it, I've got some suggestions.
[23:55] * Anthony Suthers looks at ArcheryGirl.
[23:55] *** ArcheryGirl is is a young woman in her early 20s. Her hair is short and black and her eyes are red. A ranged weapon of some kind is always at hand along side a quiver of bolts or arrows.
Her image Song is: . She is Level 1.
[23:57] * Anthony Suthers starts walking toward the side of the crater.
[23:58] * Sailor Neggerra fires a bolt of energy atwords the Duo, only for it bounce off a sheild that appears
[23:58] <"God" of Harmony> Run now childern
[23:58] *** "God" of Harmony has joined #suburbansenshi3
[23:58] <@spiritflame> irasshai "God" of Harmony *** Happy Birthday, Doctor Xadium!!
[23:58] * Anthony Suthers grins.
[23:59] <Anthony Suthers> I knew it. I have not failed my purpose yet. WENDY, come on!
[23:59] * Anthony Suthers runs for the side of the crater with Archerygirl.
[23:59] * "God" of Harmony gets a bolt of energy thrown at him, and the two of them engange in a game of Deadman's Volloy
[23:59] <Anthony Suthers> Come on. We'll go into the forest and head east. She is not omniscient!
[00:00] * ArcheryGirl nods and follows
[00:01] * Anthony Suthers leads Wendy to the treeline, and then they head north, instead of East.
[00:02] <ArcheryGirl> We need to get back to Nivek and report this.
[00:03] <Anthony Suthers> We certainly did try.
[00:03] * ArcheryGirl summons her bown and fires an arrow upwards, as it arcns down away from her a portal appears in the shape of the arrow's arch
[00:05] <ArcheryGirl> Go
[00:06] <Anthony Suthers> Alright. Are you coming?
[00:07] <ArcheryGirl> Yeah. I just need to enter second to seal the portal behind us
[00:08] * Anthony Suthers enters the portal.
[00:08] * ArcheryGirl follows. You find yourself back... At the hotel? To SS2!
[19:44] *** Downtown Tokyo
[19:45] *** The Z-KAT Zoomer pauses at another checkpoint, showing their IDs
[19:46] <Kenshiro Tanka> I wonder how long this is going to go on....
[19:48] <Genji Sato> I'm sure it will happen soon! I mean this won't go on forever
[19:48] <@spiritflame> ATTENTION: Kenshiro Tanaka is already registered. Check your password or enter a new name.
[19:48] <Kenshiro Tanaka> yeah I suppose
[19:50] *** the Zoomer continues it's journey...
[19:50] <Genji Sata> thanks for coming along with me on patrol
[19:50] <Genji Sato> ^
[19:51] <Kenshiro Tanaka> no problem...always willing to he- LOOK OUT!
[19:52] *** Kenshiro points as the car slams into the figure of a tramp..
[19:52] <Genji Sato> oh geez!
[19:52] * Genji Sato quickly gets out of the car, followed by Kenshiro....
[19:53] *** the two look....and find an empty set of clothes
[19:54] <Genji Sato> I could have sworn.....
[19:54] * Kenshiro Tanaka looks over the clothes..and then pauses....hearing what sounds like a low buzzing noise in the air...
[19:55] <Kenshiro Tanaka> do you hear that?...
[19:55] <Genji Sato> huh?...hear what?
[19:56] <Kenshiro Tanaka> um nothing....guess it was just my imagination...
[19:57] *** Kenshiro and Genji return to the vehicle....unaware a strange insect has attached itself to the back of Genji's neck
[19:58] *** the pair continue their patrol...though Kenshiro is uneasy...thinking back about the tramp...and the buzzing noise
[19:59] * Genji Sato winces....stiffens slightly...and changes directions with the car...
[20:01] <Kenshiro Tanaka> ..Genji...are you alright....this..isn't the usual patrol area
[20:02] *** Genji says nothing..driving the car out of the city..towards the forest...
[20:02] * Kenshiro Tanaka puts his hand carefully on his laser gun..."...who are you?"
[20:03] *** Once again..Genji says nothing but stops his car...in front of a large green saucer
[20:04] * Kenshiro Tanaka gets out of the car...as Genji does as well.....joining a huge group of people standing at the saucer
[20:06] <Genji Sato> ♦ Ultraman Ajax....we are Zeni-Seijin.......
[20:06] <Genji Sato> ♦ We have come to this planet to add it to the great hive....
[20:07] <Genji Sato> ♦ ...as fellow aliens....we ask you to not interfere
[20:08] <Kenshiro Tanaka> ..I can't let you do that....
[20:08] <Genji Sato> ♦ why not....we are small in number...we have every right to survive....
[20:08] <Genji Sato> ♦ and in order to survive...we must take over this world
[20:10] <Kenshiro Tanaka> that still gives you no right to slaughter them...
[20:11] <Genji Sato> ♦ they have slatuered themselves countless times....do they really deserve to be protected....
[20:11] <Kenshiro Tanaka> they deserve the right to live just as much as you may belive you do...
[20:11] <Genji Sato> ♦ if you will not join us...then you must be destroyed...
[20:12] *** Genji and the other people collapse...as a swarm of insects fly off them..and consolidate into Zeni-Seijin
[20:13] * Zeni-Seijin looks like a gigantic humanoid cicada...with the exception that the head is in the middle of the chest
[20:13] * Zeni-Seijin starts to walk towards Kenshiro..who quickly pulls out his Averexer
[20:14] <Kenshiro Tanaka> AJAXXXXX!!!!
[20:14] * Kenshiro Tanaka is now known as Ultraman Ajax
[20:14] * Ultraman Ajax appears in front of Zeni-Seijin....
[20:14] * Ultraman Ajax runs towards the alien....who bats him aside
[20:15] * Ultraman Ajax regains his composure...and turns..only to see Zeni-Seijin raise his hands and send out waves of sonic energy at the Ultraman
[20:15] * Ultraman Ajax stumbles backwards....but manages to flip away before he can land on the collapsed people
[20:16] * Zeni-Seijin changes into a swarm of insects..and starts to fly around Ajax..stinging and attacking him
[20:16] * Ultraman Ajax bats and tries to defend himself against the tiny foes
[20:18] * Ultraman Ajax gathers energy and sends it out in a burst of light (Ultra Flash Wave)
[20:18] *** the insects reconsolidate into Zeni Seijin......
[20:18] * Ultraman Ajax 's color timer begins to beep....and sees Zeni about to split again
[20:19] * Ultraman Ajax runs over....and slams his fist through the semi-consolidated alien
[20:19] * Zeni-Seijin screeches...and stumbles backwards.....
[20:20] * Ultraman Ajax fires a Nurumium Ray at the creature.....
[20:20] <Zeni-Seijin> ♦ WE JUST WANT TO LIIIIIIIVEEEEE.....
[20:20] * Zeni-Seijin Explodes into nothing
[20:20] * Ultraman Ajax shrinks back down into Kenshiro
[20:21] * Ultraman Ajax is now known as Kenshiro Tanaka
[20:21] * Kenshiro Tanaka stumbles over and helps Genji up....
[20:21] <Genji Sato> wh...where am I?.........
[20:22] * Kenshiro Tanaka looks over...noticing the saucer is gone now...
[20:22] <Kenshiro Tanaka> ...a forest....
[20:22] * Kenshiro Tanaka walks away from the others....looking upset
[20:23] <Genji Sato> Ken?.......
[20:23] * Genji Sato watches as Kenshiro walks away
[20:23] <Genji Sato> ..wonder what's up with him

[22:20] <HazMat Prinnies> dood
[22:22] * Simon Kerrick pulls a bag from his possessions.
[22:22] * Simon Kerrick empties a large pile of assault rifles, grenades, body armor, and sidearms, with some kev-lar and multitools as well.
[22:22] <Simon Kerrick> Interested?
[22:23] <HazMat Prinnies> Hmm. Interested dood...
[22:23] * Simon Kerrick mutters something. "How much do you think they are worth? Give me your best estimate."
[22:24] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ Tell me the Truth.
[22:24] * HazMat Prinnies calls in a Prinny wearing glasses...
[22:24] * Simon Kerrick holds up one of the Assault Rifles, they are M-18s.
[22:24] * HazMat Prinnies in Glasses looks over the goods...
[22:24] <HazMat Prinnies in Glasses> A bit hot, I presume dood?
[22:25] <Simon Kerrick> I took them during the time the city was under seige. People won't be coming looking.
[22:26] * HazMat Prinnies in Glasses mentally caluclates prices...
[22:27] <HazMat Prinnies in Glasses> 1,527,200 Yen.
[22:28] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ Tell me, is that the fairest price you can come up with. I'll come back to you again if so.
[22:29] <HazMat Prinnies in Glasses> We have to make a profit, and we have to hide the serial numbers on these... But...
[22:29] * Simon Kerrick nods.
[22:29] <HazMat Prinnies in Glasses> 1,909,000 Yen dood.
[22:30] <Simon Kerrick> Deal.
[22:30] <HazMat Prinnies in Glasses> Deal.
[22:30] * Simon Kerrick reaches into the bottom of the bag, and pulls out an LATW, with a rocket in it.
[22:31] <Simon Kerrick> This one is gravy.
[22:31] * Simon Kerrick puts it on top of the pile.
[22:31] * HazMat Prinnies in Glasses hands over a pile of Cash.
[22:31] * Simon Kerrick shakes the flipper of the arms-dealer prinny.
[22:31] * HazMat Prinnies come in and remove the pile of weapons.
[22:32] <HazMat Prinnies in Glasses> Lokking forward to further business dood.
[22:32] <Simon Kerrick> I hear there has even been looting in SPITE of the martial law. If I were to find out where those crooks were hiding it, would you want it? It's significantly hotter.
[22:33] <HazMat Prinnies in Glasses> significantly lower per unit prices for our troubles, but we can handle the heat dood.
[22:33] <Simon Kerrick> Splendid. Splendid.
[22:33] <Simon Kerrick> Good day, gentlemen.

[19:45] * SassyGoblin 's room is full of half finished tinkers and explovies, half of them already exploded

[19:46] <SassyGoblin> No. It's just I don't need anything falling apart that's actully working
[19:47] <Souldier> Alrighty
[19:48] * SassyGoblin shuts the door behind them and walks over to a work table, wich is built for someone of her stature, not humans, and unrolls a few scrolls. "I found a few ring patterns on the Horde Auction House I thought you might like.
[19:49] * Souldier sits indian style
[19:52] <Souldier> Yeah I want to come up with a unique design so looking at a bunch of them will certainly help
[19:53] <SassyGoblin> Have you ever done and Jewel crafting before or are you more a blacksmith?
[19:53] <SassyGoblin> *any
[19:53] <Souldier> Jewel crafting no. not really.
[19:54] <Souldier> That's going to be the tricky part.
[19:57] * SassyGoblin shuffles the plans. "Then start with the simple stuff. The simplest recipe you'll ever find is a [Braided Copper Ring]
[19:58] <Souldier> Yeah. this will be handy, get back in form. Copper's easy to work with.
[19:59] <SassyGoblin> The easiest one with gems I know of is [Tigerseye Band]
[20:01] <Souldier> This will work
[20:02] * Souldier looks over the plans. "So. How much I owe ya, Blez?
[20:03] * SassyGoblin rolls up the plans and hands Soul what looks like a bill. It is a little inflated compared to how much she likely spent on the plans
[20:04] * Souldier arches an eyebrow. "Eh. that's fine."
[20:04] * Souldier forks over the cash. "I'm sure you don't take plastic."
[20:06] * SassyGoblin pockets the money. "Thank you for your buisness"
[20:06] * Souldier stands up and nods. "Ditto. This'll be totally worth it in the long run."
[20:07] * Souldier exits rather quickly, again minding not to bowl things over. "See ya around."
[20:07] *** Souldier [ComradeCaretaker@MonHan.net] has left #suburbansenshi3 (back 2 2)
[18:25] * Vilya looks in the mirror.
[18:25] *** Vilya is




Her image Song is: "The Way you Paint" by Metamora. She is Level 1.
[21:29] *** Souldier [ComradeCaretaker@MonHan.net] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[21:29] <@spiritflame> irasshai Souldier
[21:29] *** Eiry [eiry.saliena@floralheaven.com] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[21:29] <@spiritflame> irasshai Eiry
[21:29] *** Eiry flips a coin into the air and catches it, tails side up
[21:30] <Eiry> (( i suddenly remembered we have that function ))
[21:30] <Souldier> (( :D ))
[21:30] <Eiry> (( dorm then, i guess ))
[21:31] <Souldier> (( alrighty ))
[21:32] * Eiry opens the main door to the dorm, and flips on the lights. The large public room is mostly finished, a cluster of seating around a low table in one part of the room; the "window" panels are night forests.
[21:33] * Souldier steps out the elevator
[21:34] <Eiry> Come on in.
[21:36] <Eiry> Miara's done tons of work, but it's not quite done yet.
[21:37] * Souldier looks around. "Plenty more progress I see"
[21:38] <Souldier> more progress then what I have
[21:39] <Eiry> Well, Zan is her job, and she brings him.
[21:39] <Eiry> It's not really a secret, but Miara doesn't want HK to know, and I can't tell when she's around in the house/lobby or not.
[21:40] <Souldier> Alright, I'll make it a point to not run my mouth about what you're gonna talk about. I promise.
[21:41] * Eiry nods
[21:41] <Eiry> Kai took Emmy and a friend to Darmstat for the weekend, and found some Hunters while they were there.
[21:42] * Souldier seems calm.
[21:42] <Souldier> They were marked I assume?
[21:43] <Eiry> I don't know, I haven't seen them.
[21:43] <Eiry> Kai's Touched, she felt it.
[21:44] <Souldier> So in Germany then.
[21:45] <Eiry> Yeah. She's going back with Vilya and Nana.
[21:45] <Eiry> They're going to watch them.
[21:47] <Souldier> See if they have a larger group I assume.
[21:48] <Souldier> I do hope they're properly equipped. You and Miara seem to always have something on you.
[21:49] <Eiry> I suppose they might. But they'll be gathering information we can use when we Hunt them.
[21:49] <Eiry> If things go well, they won't even know the girls are there.
[21:49] <Souldier> We? Good.
[21:50] <Eiry> Miara, Edar, and I are going.
[21:50] * Souldier keeps quiet
[21:54] <Eiry> I expect we'll go sometime next week after we have a plan.
[21:55] <Souldier> What kind of equipment will you be bringing?
[21:55] <Eiry> We're meeting next Monday again when the girls get back.
[21:55] <Eiry> Whatever Miara decides we should have.
[21:56] <Eiry> I suppose it will depend partly on what we can find out.
[21:58] * Eiry scoots a little closer to Guyver, holding his hand
[21:58] <Eiry> Are you okay?
[21:58] * Souldier 's hand is slightly trembling
[22:01] <Souldier> Is there anything against a non-Lupa getting involved?
[22:02] <Eiry> You'd have to ask Miara.
[22:04] <Souldier> I'll do that.
[22:04] <Souldier> If not I'll just make sure your equipment is ready
[22:06] <Eiry> That'd be really nice ^_^
[22:06] * Souldier squeezes her hand "Sorry. I'm a bit of a worry wart"
[22:08] <Eiry> I doubt she'll let you go..but it shouldn't be so bad.
[22:10] <Eiry> Hunters aren't used to getting Hunted, and...well, we're better now.
[22:12] <Souldier> I see
[22:16] * Souldier takes a deep breath and looks more relaxed
[22:17] <Eiry> What do you think?
[22:17] * Souldier still looks serious though
[22:18] <Souldier> I have a pair of questions actually
[22:18] * Eiry nods, listening
[22:19] <Souldier> First. Why are the Lupa in TOKYO going after some hunters in Germany?
[22:19] <Eiry> We can, and we should.
[22:20] <Souldier> all right. Next. Why keep this from HK?
[22:21] <Eiry> Most Lupa wouldn't ever have found them in the first place.
[22:21] <Eiry> Because Miara doesn't want her getting involved.
[22:22] <Souldier> Something tells me I'd be better off asking Miara that one.
[22:22] <Eiry> No, that one's pretty simple.
[22:22] <Eiry> It's a family.
[22:24] * Souldier thinks for a bit
[22:24] <Eiry> Miara wants to give the teenager a chance.
[22:25] <Souldier> I figured.
[22:25] <Souldier> HK would prolly say to heck with it and wax'em all
[22:25] <Eiry> Yeah.
[22:26] * Souldier crosses his arms.
[22:28] <Souldier> A teenager. Let's think. You're gonna take out the kid's parents.
[22:28] <Eiry> If we have to.
[22:28] <Souldier> Maybe if there's some humans around to help.
[22:30] <Souldier> I'd rather not take a life if I can avoid it. Only done it once. But your situation is different. I'm not gonna preach to you, but not doing so has consequences
[22:32] <Eiry> Don't worry, Miara knows what she's doing.
[22:32] <Souldier> And the rest?
[22:32] <Eiry> What's the rest?
[22:33] <Souldier> The rest of the group. I'm aware you've been involved in Hunter situations. But are the rest up for it? Training and the field of battle are two different things.
[22:33] <Eiry> Like I said, it's Miara, Edar, and me.
[22:34] * Souldier nods.
[22:35] * Souldier relaxes. "Just make sure I give everyone's stuff a look over."
[22:36] * Eiry laughs a little
[22:36] <Eiry> Miara and Taki probably have more weapons than even a lot of people here.
[22:37] <Eiry> Really, don't worry too much. She's been doing this a long time.
[22:37] * Souldier smiles. "You can tell me not to. But I'm still gonna, you know. Remind me to show you the Arsenal one of these days"
[22:38] <Eiry> That'd probably be fun.
[22:40] <Souldier> Yup.
[22:41] <Souldier> That and my pad in Minegarde
[22:43] <Eiry> Maybe when we're done with this, that'd be really nice ^_^
[22:44] <Souldier> ♫ Take ya down, an' turn it up ♫
[22:48] * Eiry blushes a bit
[22:49] * Souldier chuckles and gives her a hug "it'll be fun. I promise."
[22:52] * Eiry nods
[22:54] <Souldier> Nice and romantic. Just the two of us, a nice relaxing breeze...
[22:55] <Eiry> Sounds niiice. Anything I should bring?
[22:57] <Eiry> Or maybe we should plan it later.
[22:58] * Souldier shakes his head of sillyness and nods "That might be a better idea."
[22:58] <Eiry> Alright.
[22:59] <Eiry> I do kind of want to get home and get out of this suit, though...
[22:59] <Eiry> It's not very comfortable anymore
[23:01] <Souldier> Thinkin' of calling it a day, dear?
[23:03] <Eiry> Not exactly. But I don't have any other clothes here yet.
[23:04] * Souldier draws Dimension Diver "Well... I can help with that ♡ "
[23:04] <Souldier> Or should I carry you and keep you comfortable?
[23:06] <Eiry> I can walk :/
[23:07] * Souldier sweatdrops "oh come on, don't take it the wrong way, Eiry."
[23:09] <Eiry> I promise to ask if I do ever want to you carry me, okay? Let's just go.
[23:10] * Souldier nods. "Alrighty"
[23:12] * Eiry grabs her heels and bag and gets up
[23:13] * Souldier steps out of the dorm
[23:13] * Eiry flips off the light and closes the door
[23:14] *** Eiry [eiry.saliena@floralheaven.com] has left #suburbansenshi3 (I'm sure we can find something to do at home...)
[23:16] *** Souldier [ComradeCaretaker@MonHan.net] has left #suburbansenshi3 (sounds like a plan, sweetheart)
[23:19] *** Tokyo Airport
[23:20] *** the wail of sirens and screams of wounded and frightened are heard from far away. There is a police line around a warehouse, with searchlights illuminating the windows. Two mangled human bodies are visible around a huge hole in side of the building.
[23:21] * the Ymir drives towards the scene, stopping at the police line
[23:21] * History Professor is arguing with a the Airport Security Chief.
[23:21] * Ymir opens up, dropping off two Selphers
[23:21] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ ..look at this mess...
[23:22] *** Searchlights illuminate the Selphers, and there is brief panicked shouting, but it abates when it's clear that allies have shown up.
[23:22] <Hana Sagusa> ♦ yeah really...
[23:22] <History Professor> Hey! Can you hear me?
[23:22] * History Professor runs up and bangs on the side of a Selpher.
[23:22] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ we can hear you alright
[23:22] * Nivek_Razal appears nearby, in full sage battle garb.
[23:23] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ Rising Valkyrie Unit...we're here to help
[23:23] <History Professor> Then stop those security men! They want to storm the building with their assault rifles! You CAN'T let them do that!
[23:23] <History Professor> They'll destroy EVERYTHING!
[23:24] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ what happened?
[23:24] *** A Bengal Tiger appears in the window briefly, revealed by the spotlight.
[23:24] <Nivek_Razal> ...Animals?
[23:24] <Hana Sagusa> ♦ hold it..we've got company
[23:24] <Nivek_Razal> It's a Tiger
[23:25] <Security Chief> Well, I think it's pretty clear what happened. Some thugs have blown a hole in the building with C4 or some such, and they are looting the cargo storage area. It's my job to stop them, and I intend to do just that!
[23:26] <Nivek_Razal> You're a moron
[23:26] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ what's that tiger doing up there?
[23:26] <History Professor> NO! You can't let him! Please, listen to me. This was where we were storing a sealed container of valuable Egyptian Artifacts! If they go in their guns blazing, with all the subtlety of a steamroller, then ALL of them could be destroyed! It can't be allowed to happen!
[23:26] * Nivek_Razal says this emotionlessly. "Random Thugs don't keep tigers as pets"
[23:27] * SWAT TEAM with MP5's file out of their van and into position.
[23:27] <Nivek_Razal> Also, the mechs can't fint inside the building very well ladies.
[23:27] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ hold it troops *signals to the SWAT team to hold their fire*
[23:28] <Security Chief> Listen. This is basically a hostage situation. I am aware of it. But every offer of negotiation has been ignored!
[23:28] <Security Chief> I have to assume the worst!
[23:28] <Nivek_Razal> It's been ingnored because the thing inside isn't human. Or evein sentiant
[23:28] <Nivek_Razal> It's an animal
[23:29] <History Professor> This will be a tragedy if you send those men inside. Mark my words. If even ONE is destroyed, the repercussions are incalculable!
[23:29] <History Professor> Bullets know no restraint! Please listen to me!
[23:29] <Security Chief> Enough!
[23:29] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ I SAID HOLD IT...don't fire
[23:29] * Security Chief signals some men who escort the academic out of there.
[23:30] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ not until we know what's going on
[23:30] <Security Chief> Everybody behind the police line NOW.
[23:30] * Nivek_Razal does not budge.
[23:30] *** Glass Breaking and ripping can be heard from the inside of the warehouse.
[23:30] <Nivek_Razal> No
[23:30] * Nivek_Razal instead turns to walk inside the building
[23:31] * Masaki O`Cain and Hana stay where they are
[23:31] * Laser sights line up on Nivek's back.
[23:31] * Nivek_Razal smiles slighty. "Try it and you'llf find all of yourselves flat on your asses
[23:31] * Nivek_Razal keeps walking
[23:31] *** Growling can be heard from inside the building.
[23:31] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ HOLD YOUR FIRE
[23:32] * Lights in the building flicker... and then go otu.
[23:32] * Nivek_Razal gestures and a mage light appears next to him
[23:32] * Hana Sagusa moves towards where the tiger was from before.....
[23:32] *** The building is suddenly absolutely dark... and a smell of roasting flesh can be smelled outside.
[23:33] * Nivek_Razal makes a few more mage lights, wich float over to Hana, Masaki and the secuity chief.
[23:34] * Scream followed by gunfire can be heard on the other side of the building.
[23:34] *** Radio of the Nearest Police Car flashes an alert, and it is responded to.
[23:35] * Nivek_Razal looks at Masaki. "I suggest one of you look into that before the Trigger Happy cheif does
[23:35] <Nivek_Razal> The light will stay with you
[23:35] * Masaki O`Cain nods to Hana
[23:35] <Officer> Sir, HQ says they can't spare any more men! There is apparently some kind of riot at every zoo in the city! There are reports of animals running loose in the streets! We are on our own!
[23:35] <Nivek_Razal> I told you this was animals
[23:35] * Hana Sagusa follows after the the noise
[23:37] * Hana Sagusa heads for where the noise was...
[23:37] *** Hana Sagusa finds a trail of blood that leads up a fire escape... and an abandoned Automatic weapon below it.
[23:37] <Nivek_Razal> I'm going in the front door. Enjoy your darkness
[23:37] <Officer> SIR! Wait, who are you?
[23:38] <Nivek_Razal> Nivek Razal. Time Sage. Represntaitve of Neggerra.
[23:38] <Hana Sagusa> ♦ hey Masa.....we've got some bad stuff here...
[23:38] *** Jaguar is eating a security guard on the second story of the fire escape... it apparently jumped down onto him and killed him.
[23:38] <Officer> UP THERE!
[23:38] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ don't do anything rash....
[23:39] * Hana Sagusa keeps checking around the back
[23:39] * Floodlights show the Jaguar in stark relief, its maw stained with blood, growling.
[23:40] *** Skittering noises surround Nivek as he enters the building.
[23:40] * Nivek_Razal gestures and the mage light lights up the room
[23:40] <Security Chief> I sure hope whoever that idiot is really likes tear gas.
[23:40] * Security Chief radios Ready on my mark...
[23:41] * Puma falls from the ceiling snarling onto Nivek Razal!
[23:41] <spiritflame> Puma rolls 1d20 [ 9 ]
[23:42] * Nivek_Razal 's barreir spell shatters, sending shart after shard at the Puma
[23:43] * Puma shrieks, and flees of into the shadows, injured.
[23:43] <Hana Sagusa> ♦ what's going on in the front???
[23:43] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ a very angry p[BLEEP]y
[23:43] *** Sniper takes aim at the Puma.
[23:44] * Roaring and hissing noises come from the shadows of the building to the Left of Nivek.
[23:44] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ where are they animals coming from?
[23:44] <Masaki O`Cain> ^these
[23:45] *** Broadcast comes in that 90% of the cages in Zoos that contain big cats have been torn or forced open by unknown means, and all the animals are either behaving aggressively enough to have to be tranquilized, or are missing.
[23:46] * Nivek_Razal gestures and a sliceing wind wind archs at whatever is growing. "Gale Force"
[23:47] * Hana Sagusa keeps walking around the building
[23:47] <spiritflame> Sniper rolls 2d6 [ 6, 3 ]
[23:48] * Growls turn into cries of pain, and as a creatures stumbles, a loud crash is heard.
[23:48] * History Professor breaks into hysterics.
[23:48] <Security Chief> GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
[23:48] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ WHO FIRED THAT GUN
[23:49] * History Professor is dragged to a secure location.
[23:49] * Nivek_Razal makes a phone call. "P. I'm gonna need a repair"
[23:49] * Sniper reloads.
[23:50] * Sniper is bracing on a squad car, and takes aim at the window where the Tiger was.
[23:50] * Nivek_Razal hangs up and goes back outside.
[23:50] * Masaki O`Cain zooms in front of the sniper
[23:51] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ what do you think you're doing
[23:51] * Gale Force sends magical power at all living creatures in the room, who desperately seek to escape it...
[23:51] <spiritflame> Gale Force rolls 2d6 [ 6, 6 ]

[23:52] * Nivek_Razal teleports out of their attack range.
[23:52] * Swat Team aims a large device at the cats bearing down on Nivek.
[23:52] * Nivek_Razal is now standing on said device

[23:53] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ stand down...
[23:53] <Nivek_Razal> Unless that thing is full of knockout gas.
[23:53] * Crewman flips the switch.
[23:53] * Laser Dazzler disorients the animals as soon as they come out of the Shelter of the building.
[23:53] <Crewman> I don't answer to you.
[23:54] * Big Cats stagger and lose their balance.
[23:54] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ then expect some trouble in the future...
[23:54] * Masaki O`Cain moves away
[23:55] <Officer> Do you carry any nets? or ANYTHING?

[23:57] * Hana Sagusa walks from the back
[23:57] * Nivek_Razal teleports onto something high up. "I have a plan."
[23:57] * Police officeer runs up and bangs on a selpher.
[23:57] <Police officeer> Wait!
[23:57] <Police officeer> you have to help us.
[23:58] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ now you want our help...what with?
[23:58] <Police officeer> We just lost contact with the perimeter team around the Tokyo Museum of Natural History!
[23:58] * Nivek_Razal snaps and there is a loud crack from his his location
[23:59] <Nivek_Razal> Quiet for a oment
[23:59] <Nivek_Razal> *moment
[23:59] <Nivek_Razal> Can you flood the building with knockout gas?
[00:00] <Police officer> No sir! We can maintain the perimeter, but our chief was at the Museum! We can't proceed or fire without his command now!
[00:00] * Police officer names off a radio frequency for the Selphers to tune in to.
[00:01] * Police officer listens to his Radio with a look of horror on his face.
[00:01] <Nivek_Razal> Do you want this situation undercontrol or not?
[00:01] <Nivek_Razal> You need a way to get rid of the animals inside without harming any artifacts.
[00:01] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ ok what do you want?
[00:01] <Nivek_Razal> IF you can knock them out....
[00:02] *** All who listen to the radio frequency hear intense screaming, and buzzing noises that quickly drown out the fading shouts for help.
[00:02] <Police officer> Just... just get to the museum. Please save who you can from our team there!
[00:03] <Nivek_Razal> Promsie me this. Your men will not step foot inside this building while we're gone
[00:03] <Police officer> I told you, we are not AUTHORIZED to do so, so we won't. We dont' want to lose anybody else!
[00:03] <Police officer> GO. Please.
[00:03] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ ok Hana..let's go
[00:03] * Police officer grabs a tranquilizer dart gun, trains it on the building, and falls back into position.
[00:04] * Masaki O`Cain and Hana's Selphers suddenly compress slightly, switching to hover mode..and zoom away at fast speeds
[00:04] * Nivek_Razal just teleports there. He would have taken Hana and Masaki but they left before him
[00:05] *** Tokyo Museum of Natural History
[00:05] * Masaki O`Cain and Hana reach the area, switching back to walking mode
[00:05] * Museum Building is surrounded by Police cars, but all is silent.
[00:06] *** There is a huge road block surrounding the museum... but it is not manned by a single living being. Glass stands broken, shell casings litter the ground, around mangled bodies. Bloody paw prints from numerous sources lead into the museum.
[00:07] <Masaki O`Cain> ♦ more animals
[00:07] *** Everybody at who responded appears to have been put through a blender. Blood is everywhere, and there is a hole in the museum wall that looks like it was cut with a thousand chisels.
[00:08] *** The patrol cars' lights flash, but all is silent.
[00:08] * Museum Building has lights on in only a few windows.
[00:09] * Masaki O`Cain and Hana's slephers open, both girls stepping out of it
[00:09] * Masaki O`Cain pulls out a pair of axes...
[00:09] <Masaki O`Cain> ok we're going in with you
[00:10] <Nivek_Razal> Just don't smash anything
[00:11] <Hana Sagusa> I only smash skulls
[00:11] <Nivek_Razal> Then lead they way
[00:11] <Nivek_Razal> *The
[00:12] * Museum Building has a hole far too small for the Selphers.... but the humans have not trouble getting in.
[00:13] * Hana Sagusa and Masaki activate the sercurity systems on their selphers...and both head in through the hole
[00:14] * Nivek_Razal follows
[00:14] *** Lights flicker inside the museum, and there are numerous flayed bodies, but some people, dressed in lab clothes, simply huddle silently in the corner.
[00:15] <Terrified Technician> Put your weapons away.
[00:15] <Terrified Technician> Leave this place. Do not return.
[00:15] <Hana Sagusa> hell no
[00:15] <Nivek_Razal> We can't do that
[00:16] <Masaki O`Cain> careful guys
[00:16] * Nivek_Razal is actully not even holding a weapon for the record, not that it matters
[00:16] <Terrified Technician> It took several people!
[00:17] * Terrified Technician lies, "Go that way to find it, then.
[00:17] * Hana Sagusa doesn't have a weapon either
[00:17] *** Footprints obviously go the opposite way from these "helpful" directions.
[00:18] <Nivek_Razal> Thank you for the false advice, we shall go the oppsite way
[00:19] <Terrified Technician> I'm trying to save your lives. Nobody could hurt it!
[00:20] <Hana Sagusa> wonder what it is
[00:20] <Masaki O`Cain> whatever it is...let's deal with it
[00:21] * Water can be heard flowing in the next corridor.
[00:23] *** A loud splash can be heard in the adjacent room. The technicians simply stay put.
[00:23] <Masaki O`Cain> did a water main break?...
[00:24] <Nivek_Razal> We wouldn't know unless we look...
[00:24] * Nivek_Razal heads twords the water sounds
[00:25] * Masaki O`Cain and Hana follow
[00:26] *** The next room is an exhibit of Ancient Rome. Mannequins wearing centurion armor stand at attention, chariots dot the room, and, under a stream of water pouring from the ceiling, lays a very unusual corpse.

[00:30] <Masaki O`Cain> man
[00:30] <Dead Body> Splashing can be heard from the direction the water was flowing from... meanwhile, some technicians that seem oblivious to the danger, walk over to the right with Furs from the exhibits.
[00:31] <Hana Sagusa> hey! where are you going?
[00:31] * Technicians are silent, and walk off to the right
[00:31] * Water flows to the left.

[00:32] <Nivek_Razal> So, go easy on them Hana
[00:33] <Hana Sagusa> hey..I'm easy on everyone..didn't ya know that?

[00:40] * Pouncing Lioness leaps at Hana Sagusa
[00:40] * Nivek_Razal quickly casts a barreir spell around Hana, though the spell is weak due to zero prep time
[00:40] <Hana Sagusa> SORU!!!!
[00:41] * Hana Sagusa suddenly vanishes and reappears behind the lioness
[00:41] * Pouncing Lioness looks around, stunned, and advances on Nivek instead.

[00:42] <spiritflame> Pouncing Lioness rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]
[00:42] * Pouncing Lioness swipes at Hana
[00:42] <Hana Sagusa> SORU
[00:43] * Hana Sagusa vanishes again and reappears next to the lion
[00:43] <Hana Sagusa> SHAAAAA!
[00:43] * Pouncing Lioness grabs hold of Hana, and tries to wrestle her to the ground!
[00:43] * Hana Sagusa grimaces
[00:43] * Masaki O`Cain oddly enough doesn't do anything
[00:43] * Hana Sagusa 's aura starts to rise
[00:44] * Nivek_Razal begins chanting, it almost seems like he's saying two things at once

[00:46] * Hana Sagusa spits on the lioness
[00:46] <Masaki O`Cain> you going to be ok, kiddo?
[00:46] <Hana Sagusa> HA..I've been through worse
[00:47] *** The room is now completely quiet. The doors back out are locked, the water goes off to the left, and the people carrying furs went off to the right. There are no other doors.
[00:48] * Nivek_Razal goes to the door they came though, and stabs his sword into it, to break it down
[00:48] <Nivek_Razal> Incase we need to flee later
[00:48] <Masaki O`Cain> so what's with these animals
[00:49] * Door is pretty solid, but you are able to break the locking mechanism.
[00:49] <Nivek_Razal> So do we follow the water, or the people

[00:51] * Right room has all of the exhibits in it smashed, and there are two tigers that growl at you when you enter.
[00:52] * Fire sprinkler has been damaged, and sprays water over the floor, to your right. The tigers run down the room and out the door at the rear, but a single domestic cat stays, and stares straight at you.

[00:53] <Nivek_Razal> It's a house cat?
[00:53] *** This room was almost CERTAINLY the sight of an Egyptological exhibit at one point. Right now, many displays are broken, the heiroglyphs are peeled from the walls, and there are pawprints that go to the end of this room to a chamber marked "Lecture Hall."
[00:54] <Masaki O`Cain> looks like it...
[00:54] <Kitty> ...
[00:54] * Music can be heard now.

[01:01] * Nivek_Razal follows the girls
[01:01] <Hana Sagusa> ....
[01:02] *** This is a converted lecture hall or amphitheater for giving speeches. Soft torchlight illuminates it now. The seats in the auditorium are covered with furs, and upon those furs sit tigers and lions, which stare unblinking at the trio. Two fire sprinklers have been damaged, and they pour water at the base of the theater. On the dais, there is a tent made by draping silk with a strange shape in it.
[01:02] <Hana Sagusa> this is all kinds of messed up
[01:03] *** Incence burns, and several humans and many cats position themselves in front of the group, they show their teeth, and flex their hands. Around the room lie treasures of gold, and religious relics, with people kneeling before them. Standing in the middle of the room, is one man of great age and distinction, and like everything else, he looks at you silently.
[01:04] <Aged Man> .....
[01:04] <Aged Man> You are not like the others.

[01:04] <Masaki O`Cain> who are you?

[01:06] *** This room has around 30 big cats, and uncountable domestic cats. Flames burn from torches that singe the walls, and a siberian tiger swims in the pool made by the water from the fire sprinklers.
[01:06] <Aged Man> Why have you come here? She demands to know.
[01:06] <Nivek_Razal> .........
[01:06] * Aged Man is speaking japanese, but appears slow, and strained.
[01:07] *** Blurry shape inside the silk tent moves a little bit.
[01:07] <Masaki O`Cain> to see who killed these men
[01:07] <Aged Man> These men were thieves.
[01:07] <Aged Man> Each deserved death.
[01:08] <Aged Man> Pity not those who deserve no trust, and lend their hand to abominations.
[01:08] <Masaki O`Cain> why did they deserve death?
[01:08] <Hana Sagusa> so what you just kill people and who the hell are you calling abominations
[01:10] <Aged Man> She did not come here to slay. She came to protect. Those whose souls are stained with misdeeds shall not leave this chamber.
[01:10] <Nivek_Razal> She?
[01:10] * Aged Man nods.

[01:12] * Regal Sphinx folds its wings.
[01:12] <Regal Sphinx> .......
[01:13] <Nivek_Razal> The Awanser is man. Can we go now?
[01:13] <Regal Sphinx> ......
[01:13] * Regal Sphinx looks at the aged man... who looks a bit familiar.
[01:13] <Hana Sagusa> ....what the f[BLEEP]k..is that
[01:14] <Masaki O`Cain> cool it kiddo
[01:14] * Nivek_Razal looks at Regal Sphinx.

[01:14] <Nivek_Razal> Sphinx's give a riddle. It's a rule. The awnser is man.
[01:15] * Regal Sphinx spreads her wings for a moment.
[01:16] * Regal Sphinx speaks some words in a forgotten tongue.
[01:16] <Aged Man> She says you are free to leave the Temple.
[01:17] <Masaki O`Cain> who are you...
[01:18] <Aged Man> I am more than I ever was before.
[01:19] <Aged Man> And I must stay and attend the Temple. You are free to depart as you wish. You are welcome to bring offerings to the Temple in the future, if you wish.
[01:19] * Regal Sphinx speaks some archaic words into the man's ear.
[01:19] * Masaki O`Cain narrows her eyes
[01:20] <Aged Man> She says that all who wish to worship the Goddess are welcome, but all thieves shall be slain on sight. Take this news to this nation. She has returned.
[01:21] * nods, and assumes the classic Sphinx pose upon the Dais.
[01:21] <Masaki O`Cain> come on, Hana..let's get out of here
[01:21] <Nivek_Razal> 1. This is a musem not a temple. 2. She's brainwashing you. 3. The awnser to the riddle could also be my cofee table. It had four legs this morning but two fell off in the afternoon and I only got a chance to fix one this evening.
[01:21] * Nivek_Razal then turns and follows the girls

[01:25] <Hana Sagusa> meh I'm tired anyway
[01:26] *** The tigers and lions stare at Nivek_Razal
[01:26] <Regal Sphinx> .....
[01:27] <Nivek_Razal> You know, I suddenly wish Matsuo was here. He'd know now how to handle this I think
[01:28] <Hana Sagusa> eh you mean matsumi's big brained brother?
[01:28] * Scarab skitters up the wall next to Nivek...
[01:29] <Nivek_Razal> Yes
[01:29] *** The former Technicians throw some wood upon the fires. The room is silent except for the crackling of torches, and the flowing of water.
[01:29] <Hana Sagusa> eh why?
[01:30] * Scarab flies past Hana, but does not come too close.
[01:30] <Hana Sagusa> huh?
[01:32] <Hana Sagusa> meh...
[01:32] <Masaki O`Cain> something up?

[01:37] * Regal Sphinx looks around and smiles, contented.
[01:38] <Nivek_Razal> I can teleport us outside if you wish
[01:40] <Masaki O`Cain> yeah might be nice
[01:40] <Hana Sagusa> good idea
[01:41] * Nivek_Razal places his hands on their shoulders and recites a spell. The three are a warped out
[01:41] * Regal Sphinx gazes at this blatant display of magic...

[01:41] *** Former Technicians has quit IRC
[01:42] *** Aged Man has quit IRC
[01:42] *** Lions, Tigers, and Big Cats has quit IRC
[01:42] *** Regal Sphinx has quit IRC (The Past yet lives. And it breathes, and walks, and beckons us. The Old Kings rule on in silence.)

[02:00] * Matsuo Shin keeps walking

[02:07] * Panther sits on top of a gilded Sarcophagus, and growls ominously at Matsuo when he comes close.

[02:07] * Matsuo Shin looks at the Panther...narrowing his eyes
[02:07] *** Numerous scarabs fly toward the Mage Light, buzzing around it, and occaisionally landing on which ever is near it.

[02:12] *** This current room is pretty smashed up... but some of the glass was clearly not broken from physical force, some displays have holes in them with no shards on the floor, like they were simply cleared away without blunt force.

[02:13] <Nivek_Razal> They were in the lecture hall
[02:13] *** More of the objects have been moved out of this room since before, but nothing extremely heavy. Much jewelry is gone. SOME of the relics seem to have intentionally been smashed--but only one or two.

[02:19] <Matsuo Shin> hm...
[02:20] *** Torches and frescoes depicting scenes of Egypt line the walls, jewelws and bangles are hung everywhere, and the room is lit by flickering flame. Several white-jacketed museum personnel keep the flames going, and sit down before some of the artifacts in quiet meditation.
[02:21] <Matsuo Shin> interesting...
[02:22] *** At the center of the Dais is hung a tent-like structure made of semi-transparent white silk. A large shape moves within it, and before it, with his feet in the water, sits an aging and bald japanese man in casual dress.

[02:22] * Chorus of growls fill the room, and the big felines leap to their feet and bare their teeth!

[02:28] <Matsuo Shin> <I simply want to talk>
[02:30] <Regal Sphinx> <I serve Bast, who dwells still upon Mount Bahjau, and faces Apep nightly to secure the sunrise for all creation. This is her temple, and tresspassers will be shown no mercy.>
[02:31] <Matsuo Shin> <I see....>
[02:31] <Matsuo Shin> <I am guessing that you want to kill me for being an archologist>

[02:32] <Matsuo Shin> <then what do you plan to do to all the people in this city?>
[02:32] * Regal Sphinx flaps its wings, and flies over toward Matsuo, and lands near him. Numerous big cats follow her over, and the former museum personnel bow their heads. <"No exceptions.">
[02:33] <Regal Sphinx> As for you.
[02:34] <Regal Sphinx> <You stand on sacred ground. You are welcome to convert to the worship of the Glorious Bast, for you would make a great ambassador for this Temple.>
[02:34] * Regal Sphinx folds her wings back up, and tilts her head a bit, regarding Matsuo.
[02:34] <Matsuo Shin> <as much as I am flattered by this..I'm afraid I serve a diffrent god>
[02:35] <Regal Sphinx> There are other adherents, then.
[02:36] <Regal Sphinx> <Know, however, that through Bast's power I can heal your maladies, should you choose to see the light.>
[02:36] <Matsuo Shin> <I shall keep that in mind..>
[02:37] <Regal Sphinx> <Know this. Thieves in possession of the Goddess' treasures shall perish. I shall acquire them, and keep them safe, as is my task.>
[02:37] * Regal Sphinx frowns at Matsuo.
[02:38] * Matsuo Shin frowns back
[02:38] <Matsuo Shin> <I have a feeling we'll meet again soon>
[02:38] <Regal Sphinx> <I care not in whose name you would move the relics of Bast. They shall stay here, She will be worshipped and obeyed, and her treasures shown proper deference.>
[02:39] <Matsuo Shin> <I see...I will leave for now...but we will talk again>
[02:39] <Regal Sphinx> ....
[02:39] <Regal Sphinx> 5 rounds of the Chariot.
[02:41] <Matsuo Shin> <hm?>
[02:42] <Regal Sphinx> <I can sense there are more in this city, secreted away. Within 5 rounds of the Gleaming Chariot, I shall recover them.>
[02:42] <Matsuo Shin> <we'll see about that>
[02:42] <Regal Sphinx> <Those who deliver them willingly shall be granted blessings. Those that would steal them shall suffer my curse.>
[02:42] * Regal Sphinx looks at Matsuo, puzzled.
[02:43] <Regal Sphinx> <You seem doubtful and hesitant. Why would you be. This is the rightful way of things.>
[02:44] <Matsuo Shin> <Let's just say there are alot of people in this city who mean much to me>
[02:46] <Matsuo Shin> <I will leave you for now>
[02:46] <Regal Sphinx> <Such is not blasphemous. Why do you fear? The Thief-Bane wakes once again. This is a time for joy. Stay, pray, and rejoice, you who know of Bast's tongue and grace.>
[02:47] <Matsuo Shin> <I have things to do..I apologize for my rudeness>
[02:47] <Regal Sphinx> <You are forgiven.>
[02:48] * Regal Sphinx flies over to the dais, and the Lions guarding the door return to where they sat before.
[02:48] * Matsuo Shin walks out of the musuem
[02:48] *** Matsuo Shin [Shin@history.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3 (hmm...)
[02:49] * Regal Sphinx assumes the namesake pose again, and lowers her head in quiet contemplation.
[02:49] *** Regal Sphinx has quit IRC (The Past yet lives. And it breathes, and walks, and beckons us. The Old Kings rule on in silence.)
[21:56] *** Tokyo Museum of Natural History, surrounded by news crews, and with careful police supervision, and snipers in position... all who are awaiting claims of jurisdiction. A large number of people are gathered behind a barricade, and the Museum itself looks dark inside, except for a couple rooms.
[21:59] *** A large but primitive podium of wood has been set up alongside the wall of the museum, which looks like it has been neatly "dissolved" open. Upon the podium, where all can hear him, stands and aged man. He clears his throat to speak.
[22:00] <Aged Man> She... she asked me to call this press conference to deliver the news.
[22:00] <Aged Man> I hereby resign my position of head professor of Egyptology at this institution, in order to maintain my duties at the new Temple.
[22:01] <Aged Man> She wishes to make known that she comes as a Guardian of the past, and of those in need, and wishes only that we accept Her Goddess' benevolence.
[22:02] <Aged Man> All who make offerings to the temple, will be subject to being healed of sickness by Her power, and those who offer sacrifices to maintain the temple shall be blessed by Her hand.
[22:03] <Aged Man> I want to thank my family and doctors for assisting my in my struggle against my advanced stages of cancer these past few years, but now that I have re-centered my life, my disease is utterly gone.
[22:04] <Aged Man> I wish to offer thanks to Her for keeping Her promise to me, and I invite all of you to do the same. Those who grow weary of feeling like pawns, or pieces of the landscape unloved and unappreciated are welcome to join us in supplication to Bast, the Living Goddess.
[22:05] <Aged Man> Any who wish to pray and ask for blessings are welcome to do so, and any who voluntarily return the Ancient Treasures to Her that are scattered within this city shall be rewarded immeasurably. But... I also am to give a warning.
[22:05] <Aged Man> Those who come to steal holy relics and commit abomination before the Goddess shall be shown no mercy, as was decreed in days of old.
[22:06] <Aged Man> She decrees that all are welcome in the this Temple behind me, and that any who will agree to teach her the language of this Land shall be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams.
[22:07] <Aged Man> I now present to you... Our guide and Guardian!
[22:07] * Aged Man stands out of the way.
[22:07] *** a large figure emerges from the hole in the museum wall, and flinches and then growls from the incessant flashes of cameras.
[22:08] *** Regal Sphinx has joined #suburbansenshi3
[22:08] <@spiritflame> irasshai Regal Sphinx
[22:09] *** Shouts go out to halt the flash photography, and the winged being finally makes her way onto the wooden podium, in adject silence.
[22:09] * Huge Crowd looks at Regal Sphinx.
[22:09] *** Regal Sphinx is powerfully-muscled lioness with golden fur and tawny brown wings whose body melds into a bust of a human woman. Where the lion is powerful, the human aspect is flawless in beauty, with green eyes and a bewitching smile. She is living relic of the Past.
Her image Song is: "Jupiter's Child" by Steppenwulf. She is Level 1.
[22:10] <Regal Sphinx> .....
[22:11] * Regal Sphinx spreads her wings, and bursts into an incredibly beautiful song, in a tongue forgotten by mankind. So wondrous is the harmony and grandeur that there those hearing it in person openly weep.
[22:12] * Regal Sphinx smiles... and disappears back into the Musuem.
[22:12] *** Regal Sphinx has quit IRC (The Past yet lives. And it breathes, and walks, and beckons us. The Old Kings rule on in silence.)
[22:13] <Aged Man> I wish to thank you all for your time, and remind you all that any who come to better themselves spiritually are more than welcome, and those that bear offering shall be healed and blessed. Thank you.
[22:13] *** Aged Man has quit IRC
[22:14] * Huge Crowd breaks into discussion all at once, and reporters summarize what has just happened, everybody runs off to relate this incredible event.
[22:14] *** Huge Crowd has quit IRC
[22:22] *** Matsuo Shin [Shin@history.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[22:22] <@spiritflame> irasshai Matsuo Shin
[22:23] * Matsuo Shin walks out, looking around
[22:23] * Matsuo Shin makes sure to keep in the mental blindspot of everyone around him...
[22:24] <Matsuo Shin> hm...
[22:25] *** Nivek_Razal [TimeSage@Neggerra.gov] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[22:25] <@spiritflame> irasshai Nivek_Razal
[22:25] <Matsuo Shin> hello Nivek
[22:27] <Nivek_Razal> Hey
[22:27] <Matsuo Shin> so you saw the report I'm guessing
[22:27] * Cat licks its paw nearby.
[22:29] <Nivek_Razal> Yep
[22:30] <Matsuo Shin> we're being watched
[22:30] *** Man carrying a sick child has joined #suburbansenshi3
[22:30] <@spiritflame> irasshai Man carrying a sick child
[22:30] <Nivek_Razal> I am aware
[22:31] <Matsuo Shin> on your way to the cult
[22:31] <Matsuo Shin> I take it
[22:31] * Man carrying a sick child is wearing a suit, and walks toward the building with his sick toddler.
[22:31] <Man carrying a sick child> Sir, I can't talk to you now, this is a matter of life and death!
[22:31] <Matsuo Shin> heh...it's begun
[22:32] <Matsuo Shin> soon thousands of people will come flocking...
[22:32] * Man carrying a sick child runs into the museum, a desperate look on his face.
[22:33] <Matsuo Shin> like any good cult...
[22:33] * Man carrying a sick child is away: Please. Please help me!
[22:33] * Matsuo Shin looks over at a blue crow, which has landed on a trash can
[22:33] <Nivek_Razal> The we need ot keep people out
[22:33] <Matsuo Shin> I have an idea....
[22:34] <Nivek_Razal> I could seal the door magically but I can't seal ever enterance and expect it to last...
[22:35] <Matsuo Shin> I could try and mentally block the image of the musuem from people's minds around here perhaps
[22:35] <Matsuo Shin> they would know it's somewhere..just not where
[22:35] * Man wearing white emerges from the Museum.
[22:35] * Man wearing white slowly begins hanging flowers on the museum entrance, he whistles merrily to himself.
[22:36] <Matsuo Shin> of course the problem is, Nivek
[22:36] <Matsuo Shin> ...this is all...naturally...a grey area, isn't it
[22:36] <Matsuo Shin> I mean....if we stop these people we might be the bad guys
[22:36] <Matsuo Shin> and not the good guys
[22:36] <Matsuo Shin> but of course that's the point isn't it
[22:38] * Matsuo Shin adjusts his fedora
[22:39] * Man with his healthy daughter is back
[22:39] * Matsuo Shin watches the man
[22:40] * Man with his healthy daughter walks out of the museum, smiling, holding his child's hand. His watch is missing, but he looks very happy.
[22:40] <Matsuo Shin> of course, Nivek
[22:40] <Matsuo Shin> the problem is
[22:41] <Matsuo Shin> I'm a black and white sort of guy
[22:41] * Matsuo Shin pulls something out of his pocket and clamps it on his wrist
[22:41] * Man with his healthy daughter and his daughter speak to the man wearing white.
[22:41] <Matsuo Shin> and if there is one thing life has taught me
[22:41] <Matsuo Shin> there is no simple solution
[22:42] * Kitty walks up and rubs against the little girl.
[22:42] <Man> Aww, why don't you pet the kitty, Hiroko? It's smaller than the ones inside!
[22:42] * Little girl pets the cat.
[22:42] * Matsuo Shin starts to walk towards the musuem
[22:43] * Nivek_Razal follows Matsuo
[22:44] * Matsuo Shin enters the museum
[22:45] *** Line of people are in front of Matsuo and Nivek. You recognize some of them from the news cast.
[22:46] <Matsuo Shin> well...can't have this....
[22:47] * Matsuo Shin concentrates...attempting to blank himself out from their sight sections of the brain
[22:48] * Nivek_Razal grabs Matsuo and teleports the two inside, into the Men's room
[22:48] <Matsuo Shin> ...oh for crying out loud
[22:48] <Regal Sphinx> DM A man turns to Matsuo Shin, about to say something... and then turns around quickly like he forgot something, he picks up a scarab from before and does not turn around again.
[22:48] <Matsuo Shin> I had it in hand...
[22:48] <Nivek_Razal> I can take us back if you wish
[22:49] * Young man enters the bathroom.
[22:49] <Young man> Oh. Hello there.
[22:49] <Young man> So, what are you going to ask Her for?
[22:49] * Young man is talking to Nivek.
[22:49] <Nivek_Razal> Nothing. I have everything I could want at the moment
[22:49] * Matsuo Shin makes sure that he is blanked out from the man
[22:49] * Young man does not seem to notice him at all.
[22:50] <Young man> Damn, buddy, I wish I were in your shoes.
[22:50] <Nivek_Razal> Then work to fix your problems
[22:50] <Nivek_Razal> Do not rely on a simple fix
[22:50] <Young man> My dad runs a car dealership, and we've fallen on hard times. I just hope I can find one of the artifacts and get the reward.
[22:50] <Young man> What should I do to fix them, exactly?
[22:50] * Matsuo Shin slips out of the bathroom
[22:50] <Young man> What can I do to make people buy more cars?
[22:50] <Nivek_Razal> Then find a new job
[22:51] * Matsuo Shin tries to make his way towards the front of the line
[22:51] *** Matsuo sees that the museum has been very greatly cleaned up, and flowers are strewn in a path toward the hall where the Sphinx rests.
[22:52] <Nivek_Razal> Now if you'll excuse me, The rest room is not the place to give life advice.
[22:52] *** Fewer people are actually inside the museum, there are several people who ask each person what they can contribute toward "Bast or Her Servants."
[22:52] <Young man> Whatever, dude.
[22:52] * Nivek_Razal leaves the restroom to follow Matsuo
[22:52] * Young man goes into a stall, and leaves Nivek alone.
[22:53] <Man with a shaved head> Hold it. Back of the line, sir.
[22:53] * Man with a shaved head points at Nivek.
[22:53] * Matsuo Shin heads for the front
[22:54] <Man with a shaved head> Oh. I see they let you through already. Go in peace.
[22:54] * Man with a shaved head smiles, and keeps assisting in the cleanup.
[22:54] * Door to the "Temple is closed right now, but you can hear bargaining behind it.
[22:55] *** There are two lions, a Siberian tiger, and a myriad of domestic cats that calmly regard you as you walk forward, a couple of them hiss at you.
[22:55] <Matsuo Shin> hm.....
[22:55] <Nivek_Razal> Any chance you can hide me from them too?
[22:55] * Matsuo Shin nods...concentrates...expanding the field over Nivek
[22:56] * Cats start sniffing the air, suddenly, and look puzzled.
[22:56] * Nivek_Razal scowls.
[22:56] * Jaguar sniffs, and starts getting closer...
[22:56] * Matsuo Shin mentally puts a distraction in the Jaguar's mind
[22:56] * Nivek_Razal mouths the words "This isn't going to work"
[22:57] * Jaguar walks over and plays with a discarded shoe.
[22:57] *** Other cats start sniffing the air too, and flicking their tails in curiousity.
[22:58] <Matsuo Shin> ok..I have a better idea....
[22:58] *** Suddenly, the words of an emaphatic "thank you" can be heard, and the doors to the Temple open up. A very wealthy man walks out, smiling.
[22:58] * Matsuo Shin concentrates...and rather then blanking out them from the cats...makes them..unwatchable...
[22:59] * Wealthy man walks out of the next room, smiling, and says "sure. Meat for your pets. I can provide it for a month! It's my pleasure! My pleasure."
[22:59] * Wealthy man leaves
[22:59] * Matsuo Shin walks into the room...
[22:59] *** Door to the "Temple" is open now.
[23:00] * Nivek_Razal follows
[23:01] * Regal Sphinx can be heard growling, and the numerous big cats mimic her menace. The humans retreat to the walls.
[23:01] <Regal Sphinx> <Trespassers enter sacred ground. Find them. Bring them before me.>
[23:01] * Matsuo Shin lowers his field
[23:01] <Matsuo Shin> <no need>
[23:02] *** Lions and tigers roar at Matsuo and Nivek.
[23:02] <Nivek_Razal> <This is the worst cult I've seen. And I've seen quite a few>
[23:02] * Matsuo Shin holds out his hands, trying to freeze the cats with his telekinisis
[23:02] <Regal Sphinx> <Explain yourselves. At once. Why did you steal a place in line from my supplicants?>
[23:03] *** The field seems to work, since the cats are not angry, but they are VERY strong against their restraints.
[23:03] <Matsuo Shin> <because I wish for you to heal something....to restore something>
[23:03] <Nivek_Razal> <I just followed him>
[23:03] * Matsuo Shin holds up a golden egyptian bracelet
[23:03] * Nivek_Razal seems more surpised by Matsuo's awnser then anything
[23:04] <Nivek_Razal> Just what are you doing?
[23:04] <Regal Sphinx> <Why should I heal a thief? One who comes unbidden? One who admittedly follows a different god?>
[23:05] *** A housecat rubs up against Matsuo Shin :3
[23:05] <Nivek_Razal> <Theif? I see no theif here. Line cutters maybe but not Theif
[23:07] <Regal Sphinx> <I will, in fact, hear what you have to say. If you could simply be made to see reason, then you could be a great boon. This is the reason you have not been flayed alive, as all Thieves deserve.>
[23:07] <Matsuo Shin> <what god does not offer someone a chance at redeption>
[23:07] *** Big cats struggle to get free of the field.
[23:07] <Regal Sphinx> <I am a servant. Not a god.>
[23:08] <Regal Sphinx> <I am a guardian, and I tend to the deserving and the faithful.>
[23:08] * Matsuo Shin 's mind is like steel
[23:08] * Matsuo Shin gives the bracelet
[23:08] * Regal Sphinx flies over to Matsuo Shin, her tail flicking, and accepts the item.
[23:09] <Regal Sphinx> <Explain yourself.>
[23:10] <Nivek_Razal> <Then tell that to your follower. They revear you as a god
[23:10] <Matsuo Shin> <shut up nivek>
[23:10] <Nivek_Razal> <I do belive most religions have a problem with that. And for the record, I worship NO god.... Alright>
[23:10] <Matsuo Shin> <well...if your god can restore anything...or heal anything>
[23:10] <Matsuo Shin> <restore my world>
[23:11] <Nivek_Razal> You're insane. You do knwo that right
[23:11] * Regal Sphinx thinks.
[23:12] <Regal Sphinx> <Such a great blessing restoration requires an equally great price. Are you willing to pay it?>
[23:12] <Nivek_Razal> ........ If you say yes and the world blows up, I'm coming back as a ghost and haunting you till you're insane
[23:13] * Regal Sphinx looks forward, not understanding Nivek.
[23:13] * Matsuo Shin narrows his eyes "<like what>"
[23:14] * Nivek_Razal is delberty speaking in...whaver language they normally speak in, just so she can't understand him
[23:15] <Regal Sphinx> <Convert from your God, and give due reverence to Bast, the Daughter of Re-Horakte, and Husband of Ptah. A mighty civilization that reveres Bast must exist once again, for faith grand enough can indeed heal your world. Bring to me believers, and supplicate yourself before the living Goddess, and nothing shall be impossible.>
[23:15] <Matsuo Shin> <I'm afraid I can't>
[23:15] * Regal Sphinx looks into Matsuo's eyes, unflinching.
[23:16] <Matsuo Shin> <that would be deny the very beings for whom I'm descended from>
[23:16] * Nivek_Razal leans on a wall <Don't even try asking me. I have told gods in the face I do not worship any, and will not"
[23:17] <Regal Sphinx> <If you are hesitant to disavow what you believe in for the restoration of your people, then understand that such is the case with one such as I.>
[23:17] <Nivek_Razal> *>
[23:18] <Regal Sphinx> <I shall restore my sisters, and my heritage, by guiding others to the Truth.>
[23:18] <Regal Sphinx> <The Goddess' existence is as certain as the rising sun.>
[23:18] <Regal Sphinx> <In time, her glory shall become known again.>
[23:18] <Matsuo Shin> <what will you do about the other gods>
[23:19] <Regal Sphinx> <Perhaps you would know, had you not entered in deception.>
[23:19] <Regal Sphinx> <Why should I care about the actions of other gods?>
[23:19] <Matsuo Shin> <because some of them may not be happy with the loss of their worshippers>
[23:20] <Regal Sphinx> <Then perhaps they should be more generous with their blessings, as is Bast, who protects the deserving child, and brings the Dawn, and defends her faithful. Their apathy is no excuse to pity them. Far from it.>
[23:22] <Regal Sphinx> <All who have come here are happier for it. I simply follow my birthright, and shall seek the treasures that sustain Bast, and sustain me.>
[23:22] <Matsuo Shin> <then I will have to stop you>
[23:22] <Regal Sphinx> <Now, release my servants.>
[23:22] <Nivek_Razal> <Until they become dependant on your god.
[23:22] * Regal Sphinx gestures at the panting lions.
[23:22] <Matsuo Shin> <life should never be this easy>
[23:22] * Matsuo Shin releases the lions
[23:23] <Regal Sphinx> <Why do you wish them to needlessly suffer?>
[23:23] <Nivek_Razal> <At which point your god will tire of the conatant demands ofr help and abaodom them
[23:23] <Nivek_Razal> <Suffering only makes us stronger
[23:23] <Matsuo Shin> <all people suffer...if we don't suffer..then we never can grow better>
[23:23] *** The lions appear very shaken up, and go drink from the pool, far away from Matsuo.
[23:23] <Matsuo Shin> <we have nothing to drive us to be better>
[23:24] * Nivek_Razal nods in agreement to this
[23:24] <Regal Sphinx> <If suffering brings such virtue, why do you wish for the restoration of your world? If you glory in your despair, why did you come to me at all? >
[23:25] <Nivek_Razal> <To stop you>
[23:25] <Regal Sphinx> <From helping people?>
[23:25] <Regal Sphinx> <From healing the sick?>
[23:25] <Matsuo Shin> <I wanted to see if you could do it>
[23:25] <Regal Sphinx> <You refused the price. I CAN do it.>
[23:25] <Matsuo Shin> <we have doctors....we have police officers...we have others>
[23:25] <Regal Sphinx> <Bast can do all things.>
[23:26] <Matsuo Shin> <and I also know...I have to wait>
[23:26] <Nivek_Razal> <We already have the tools we need to surivive
[23:26] <Regal Sphinx> <If you provide me a service, then I shall revive ONE person from your world. Do you wish to hear my terms?>
[23:27] <Matsuo Shin> <what is that>
[23:27] <Nivek_Razal> <We have no need for dependance on the whims of your god to surive. Humans have forged their own paths for generations. And we will contine to do so>
[23:28] <Regal Sphinx> <Well spoken. For a NON-HUMAN.>
[23:28] <Matsuo Shin> <I'm not human either>
[23:29] <Regal Sphinx> <Yes. I smelled it when you walked in. Neither of you can truly understand their plight, despite your hubristic self-righteous cries to prolong their suffering.>
[23:29] * Regal Sphinx turns to Matsuo
[23:29] <Nivek_Razal> <I am human>
[23:30] <Nivek_Razal> <A sub-type of human perhaps, but I am still human>
[23:30] <Matsuo Shin> <I am still more human then you ever will be>
[23:31] <Regal Sphinx> <Your sacrifice to Bast shall be thus. Allow the claiming of this building as my temple, and bring the lost treasures of Bast before me and my faithful. Do this, and I shall revive one of your worlds fallen, whole and hearty, and they shall once more. Do you accept?>
[23:32] <Matsuo Shin> <I'll think about it>
[23:32] <Nivek_Razal> You can't be serious
[23:32] * Regal Sphinx looks uncomprehendingly at Nivek.
[23:33] <Nivek_Razal> After all our postureing and preaching, you're still going to consider takeing it's offer
[23:33] * Regal Sphinx flicks her tail, and flies leaps down to the Dais again, turning the Bracelet in her paws.
[23:34] *** Several playful cats rub against Matsuo, and play with his shoelaces. They all ignore Nivek.
[23:35] * Matsuo Shin looks at nivek....
[23:36] * Matsuo Shin looks up, where a blue crow is sitting near a window
[23:36] <Regal Sphinx> <Bast waits to reward you, if you will merely trust. If you simply believe.>
[23:37] * Matsuo Shin nods
[23:37] <Matsuo Shin> <I must leave now...I have much to do>
[23:38] <Nivek_Razal> ...........
[23:38] <Regal Sphinx> <I hope you shall think carefully before you Blaspheme against Bast once again. She does NOT abandon her faithful. Go in peace.>
[23:39] * Matsuo Shin turns and leaves
[23:40] <Nivek_Razal> <As I said. I worship no god. I've sat at the breakfeast table with a few gods. And None of them have earned my worship
[23:41] *** Smiling devotees greet Matsuo as he leaves. They put leaves down to line the walkway, and carry buckets to store the sprinkler water.
[23:41] * Matsuo Shin is already heading for the exit
[23:41] *** The aged man who appeared on the news bids Matsuo farewell, and bids him enjoy his blessings.
[23:41] * Regal Sphinx looks at Nivek.
[23:43] <Regal Sphinx> <Such is your choice. Some might think that Hubris, but I recognize the distinct lack of fear that a privileged life brings. Your choice is your own, but know that the bearers of Eternity are less merciful concerning your arrogance than I.>
[23:43] <Nivek_Razal> .......
[23:43] * Nivek_Razal laughs loudly
[23:43] * Matsuo Shin leaves the musuem..waiting for Nivek
[23:43] * Matsuo Shin looks up as the blue crow flies down and props on his shoulder
[23:44] * Nivek_Razal turns to leave <You don't know me at all>
[23:44] * Nivek_Razal leaves
[23:44] <Matsuo Shin> what were you doing?
[23:45] <Nivek_Razal> I should ask you the same question
[23:45] *** Regal Sphinx has quit IRC (The Past yet lives. And it breathes, and walks, and beckons us. The Old Kings rule on in silence.)
[23:46] <Matsuo Shin> my performance was that good, wasn't it?
[23:46] * Matsuo Shin looks at the blue crow, which blinks and hops back and forth on his shoulder
[23:46] <Regal Sphinx> A few more people are lining up outside the Museum, including some city municipal workers.
[23:47] <Nivek_Razal> Let me in on your plan next time
[23:47] <Nivek_Razal> Or at least ask me to play alongb
[23:47] <Matsuo Shin> I thought you already knew
[23:47] *** A few more people line up, they look anxious, and hold various gifts in their hands.
[23:48] * Matsuo Shin watches the crow fly up, giving a crawing noise..and fly off into the night
[23:48] <Matsuo Shin> I wanted to know a little more of what she was planning
[23:48] <Nivek_Razal> Why bother. We're just going to take her out in the end
[23:50] <Matsuo Shin> remember, Nivek...
[23:51] <Matsuo Shin> never try and argue with the heads of cults
[23:51] <Matsuo Shin> they'll simply pontificate till they're blue in the face and then stop listening to you
[23:51] * Cat looks at Matsuo and Nivek.
[23:51] * Matsuo Shin looks at cat
[23:52] <Matsuo Shin> I know you're watching me
[23:52] * Nivek_Razal tosses cat-nip at the cat.
[23:53] <Matsuo Shin> I know you have eyes everywhere in this city
[23:54] * Cat immediately plays with the Cat-nip.
[23:54] * Cat scurries off.
[23:55] <Nivek_Razal> And now it's gone
