welcome to #suburbansenshi3
[20:35] <Shiro Kuramoto> Bixia Yuanjin, I don't think that was a person! I think it was a creature called a Wax Golem!
[20:36] <Bixia Yuanjin> Mmm --
[20:36] * Bixia Yuanjin glances around
[20:36] <Shiro Kuramoto> They are made by spellcasters, but can start thinking they are real.
[20:36] <Bixia Yuanjin> These people in white robes I'm seeing. Are they new?
[20:36] *** When Bixia glances around, she can see that the eyes of the bandaged person are looking at her through the tent.
[20:37] <Shiro Kuramoto> I have no idea why they are here! They are absolutely new!
[20:37] <Bixia Yuanjin> Keep an eye out. We may be followed in pretty short order.
[20:37] <Shiro Kuramoto> Maybe, but they look... very fearful of something.
[20:38] <Shiro Kuramoto> When I last saw this place on the news, there were seemingly endless crowds of people here. I wonder what happened?
[20:38] <Bixia Yuanjin> Heaven-and-Earth I've been away from Tokyo for too long...
[20:38] * Bixia Yuanjin exhales loudly
[20:39] *** They ARE followed, though; person in the bandages gets up and starts following Bixia Yuanjin.
[20:39] <Bixia Yuanjin> I was never good with the internet and people just say it keeps getting worse, so we can't rely on that anym--
[20:39] * Bixia Yuanjin abruptly pulls Kuramoto into an alleyway
[20:40] *** The bandaged person, and ONLY the bandaged person, follows them.
[20:40] * Bixia Yuanjin turns around and waits, expectantly, for the vibes to catch up with her
[20:40] * Shiro Kuramoto is already looking around for something to fight with, and, luckily, finds a bit of re-bar.
[20:41] <Shiro Kuramoto> I dont' like this. Golems are immune to magic---and I remember... from... somewhere---that Wax Golems will try to kill the person they are based on if they meet them!
[20:41] *** The bandaged figure walks into the alley.
[20:42] <Shiro Kuramoto> Are you good at hiding?
[20:42] <Bixia Yuanjin> Yes. But I don't run from things like this.
[20:42] <Bixia Yuanjin> Not anymore.
[20:43] <Bixia Yuanjin> Get back. I'll keep you safe.
[20:43] * Shiro Kuramoto raises an eyebrow. "Well, there's a refrigerator box over there, luckily. We might be able to give this weirdo the slip?"
[20:43] * Shiro Kuramoto stands behind her.
[20:44] <Bixia Yuanjin> It followed me, and specifically me.
[20:45] <Shiro Kuramoto> Alright. If somebody is going to confront it, I guess it should be you/us.
[20:45] * Bixia Yuanjin steps forward, regarding this Thing with a canted head and a faint scowl.
[20:46] *** The being is absolutely and utterly silent, but it's expressionless eyes look like those of a man Bixia knew well.
[20:46] <Shiro Kuramoto> Alright.
[20:46] <Shiro Kuramoto> Look, I don't know who you are, but we know WHAT you are? What do you want with us, and who are you?
[20:46] <Bixia Yuanjin> ...Simon.
[20:46] *** The person takes off their bandages.
[20:46] *** Simon Kerrick has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:46] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Simon Kerrick
[20:47] * Shiro Kuramoto looks at Simon Kerrick.
[20:47] *** Simon Kerrick is an intensely familiar-looking man who lives humbly upon an island, forgotten and unlooked for by those who believed him forever lost. He has balding black hair, a goatee, and a portly tendency leading towards overweight, yet moves with unnatural silence.
His image Song is: 'The Sounds of Silence' by Simon and Garfunkel.
He is Level 1.
[20:48] * Bixia Yuanjin smiles faintly, a bit of a twist her eyes
[20:48] <Shiro Kuramoto> It IS a golem. Look!
[20:49] <Shiro Kuramoto> Lucky thing I didn't try to use that hairspray and lighter to set it on fire!
[20:49] <Bixia Yuanjin> It is. Can you speak?
[20:49] <Simon Kerrick> .....
[20:49] * Simon Kerrick shakes its head.
[20:49] <Bixia Yuanjin> Do you have the dexterity to write?
[20:50] * Simon Kerrick 's fingers flutter gracefully, and holds up a ring on a sigiled wax hand.
[20:51] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ Oh, of course I can speak to you. I am many things, and one of those things is a Wizard.
[20:51] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ But only for a time.
[20:51] <Shiro Kuramoto> Why did you follow us?
[20:52] * Bixia Yuanjin lets a breath go, some measure of relieved
[20:52] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ You are Magic. Alone out of those that remain.
[20:52] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ You didn't even try to hide it.
[20:52] <spiritflame> Shiro Kuramoto rolls 1d20 [ 12 ]
[20:53] * Bixia Yuanjin looks between the fascimile and the living man
[20:53] <Shiro Kuramoto> OH. I see now. You are using the Ventriloquism spell.
[20:54] *** To simply call it a spell at this point would be crude, but you are not mistaken.
[20:54] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ To simply call it a spell at this point would be crude, but you are not mistaken.
[20:54] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ Still, it doesn't last long. Why are you here?
[20:55] <Bixia Yuanjin> This one...
[20:55] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well, we were... going home. But lots of time has passed by, and nothing is as it was.
[20:55] <Bixia Yuanjin> Well, how much do you know about what happened to you, when you died?
[20:55] <Bixia Yuanjin> /em addresses Simon
[20:55] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ I have not died.
[20:56] <Simon Kerrick> /I have lived alone, a long time, on an island home to none else. Some strange people--VERY strange people brought me here, and this was, for a time, a very easy place to stay.
[20:56] <Bixia Yuanjin> I see.
[20:57] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ y I regret to tell you (indicates Shiro) that if you do not recall what happened, you are one of the Returned. Countless people here in the city have lost between a few months to a couple years of their memory. It seems to have happened to you as well, but you are not alone, and there are many who would aid you.
[20:57] * Shiro Kuramoto looks surprised to hear this, and looks down at Bixia questioningly.
[20:58] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ Most of them wear white robes, but many are burdened with forgetfulness. I am sorry.
[20:58] * Shiro Kuramoto taps his chin, considering the golem's message.
[20:59] * Bixia Yuanjin shakes her head in answer to Kuramoto, this is all new to her
[20:59] <Bixia Yuanjin> Oji-san's kind of a different case.
[20:59] <Bixia Yuanjin> Do you know who I am, at all?
[21:00] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ No. We have never met. But I could detect that you were powerfully magical.
[21:00] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ Why do you ask?
[21:02] <spiritflame> Shiro Kuramoto rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[21:02] <Bixia Yuanjin> You're a dead ringer for someone I knew, not so long ago.
[21:02] <Shiro Kuramoto> Because she must have met *you.*
[21:02] <Bixia Yuanjin> As I tend to remember 'long ago', anyway.
[21:02] * Simon Kerrick shrugs. "I know of no such people. I'm simply living a simple life."
[21:03] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ People ask no questions of those who are ill here, and many do not eat or drink, but soon, it will be time to move on.
[21:03] <Bixia Yuanjin> Are you with the people who run this encampment? Or, I don't know, ran it?
[21:04] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ The Great Healer ran this encampment. His name was...
[21:04] * Simon Kerrick looks in the distance.
[21:04] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ I cannot remember.
[21:04] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ That seems odd.
[21:05] <Simon Kerrick> ♦ he was all over the news and TV, but that is over now, and only the dregs are left here.
[21:05] * Shiro Kuramoto looks around.
[21:05] <Shiro Kuramoto> So... what happened here?
[21:05] <Bixia Yuanjin> I'm kind of curious myself.
[21:06] * Simon Kerrick gestures resignedly, "I have no idea what happened here. I only remember shouting and maybe.... fire. Now nothing. Do you know of anyone who might be aware of what is taking place?"
[21:07] * Bixia Yuanjin shakes her head. "I've been in Kyoto, keeping my head down doing my thing for a several years now."
[21:07] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well, new friend, while I am normally the person to come to when you want to know things, I have been out of pocket, perhaps literally, for a long time. Unless we are lucky enough that Bixia Yuanjin, here, knows of some vast and knowledgeble cabal to go ask, we are at an impasse."
[21:08] <Bixia Yuanjin> /em looks away entirely unsubtly evasively
[21:08] <spiritflame> Shiro Kuramoto rolls 1d20 [ 3 ]
[21:09] <Bixia Yuanjin> ...so I kind of do.
[21:09] * Shiro Kuramoto smiles a tiny bit.
[21:09] <Shiro Kuramoto> Oh?
[21:09] <Bixia Yuanjin> They're a bunch of idiots, but they're pretty well-informed and they've got good hearts.
[21:09] <Simon Kerrick> ...?
[21:12] <Shiro Kuramoto> Well. It's certainly a start?
[21:12] <Shiro Kuramoto> Where are these people?
[21:12] <Bixia Yuanjin> It's a place I think they're still calling the Hotel.
[21:14] <Bixia Yuanjin> A house in... Azabu-Juuban, I think, that looks like a pretty-typical one-person home.
[21:14] <Bixia Yuanjin> Way bigger on the inside.
[21:14] <Shiro Kuramoto> That seems familiar to me for some reason.
[21:14] <Simon Kerrick> ...
[21:15] <Shiro Kuramoto> A hotel. Mayve I could stay there, until things change for me.
[21:15] <Simon Kerrick> ...
[21:15] <Bixia Yuanjin> Yeah. :)
[21:16] <Simon Kerrick> ...
[21:16] <Bixia Yuanjin> Oh, shoot, is the spell not working?
[21:17] * Shiro Kuramoto glances at the golem.
[21:17] * Shiro Kuramoto glances back to Bixia Yuanjin.
[21:17] <Simon Kerrick> ...
[21:18] * Simon Kerrick takes a few steps backward.
[21:18] * Simon Kerrick 's facial expression doesn't change.
[21:18] <Bixia Yuanjin> ...no go, huh.
[21:18] <Bixia Yuanjin> Yeah, that doesn't surprise me a whole lot.
[21:18] <Shiro Kuramoto> Immune to magic.
[21:18] <Bixia Yuanjin> Your namesake wasn't always on good terms with them, either.
[21:19] <Bixia Yuanjin> I have cash. We can take the train.
[21:19] * Simon Kerrick picks up the piece of re-bar.
[21:19] * Simon Kerrick tosses it aside.
[21:19] * Simon Kerrick walks behind Bixia.
[21:20] * Shiro Kuramoto walks behind Bixia
[08:25] *** Continuing from last Sunday:
[08:26] * Merc_Nezu has moved to: [ Chiyoko's ]
[08:27] * Queen Bonnie has moved to: [ Chiyoko's ]
[08:30] * Merc_Nezu [Chiyoko's] points at Saeko
[08:33] <Merc_Nezu> [Chiyoko's] Now the bad news is we still also don't know yet who's the self-proclaimed Comedian who thought it was funny to give her and the other Moms some dubious Rejuvenation Potion to drink.
[08:34] <Merc_Nezu> [Chiyoko's] What if there are side effects? What if the de-aging doesn't stop here and they keep becoming younger and younger?
[08:35] <Queen Bonnie> [Chiyoko's] Don't be so harsh. Wouldn't you like to be seet Sixteen once more, too?
[08:36] <Queen Bonnie> (( *sweet* ))
[08:37] * Merc_Nezu [Chiyoko's] snickers
[08:40] <Merc_Nezu> [Chiyoko's] No, thanks. I don't need that. Being a Sailor Guardian actually comes with its own Fountain of Youth; From acertain point onward, our aging process gets heavily deccelerated or completely halted. That's why I basically look the same like I did when I was a Teenager.
[08:43] <Merc_Nezu> (( Here I am waiting for someone like Pinako or Kakaku (not available in the Non-Dream World, I forgot) to ask the 'appropriate' "How old are/were you again" question so ami can give the planned answer/commentary. ;-) ))
[08:43] * Merc_Nezu is away: Scene on Hold
[08:44] * Queen Bonnie is away: Ditto
[20:44] * D. Kakaku is folding some croissant dough.
[20:55] <Marilyn> Croissants and biscuits and donuts for tomorrow.
[21:04] <Didi> Didiii!
[21:17] * Lola is bringing out cupcakes from the magical oven!
[21:52] * D. Kakaku wipes her forehead and washes up.
[21:52] <D. Kakaku> alright, Croissants coming through
[22:14] * Georgia Banno is doing her best
[22:17] * Giogio flits to help out
[22:17] <Giogio> Gio Gio!
[22:21] * Giogio pokes out te Donut holes from the donuts.
[22:24] <Giogio> GioGio!
[22:56] <Georgia Banno> ^^..
[23:19] <D. Kakaku> almost time to proof them.
[23:30] <D. Kakaku> ^^
[23:33] <Marilyn> have a good night, Lola
[07:21] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "STAND BY FOR ACTION!"
[07:26] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:30] *** The movie picks up again!
[07:31] * Sopporosa is struggling to keep a hold of M4A1. Her hand is beginning to lose grip.
[07:31] <Sopporosa> >__<;;
[07:32] *** Another vehicle pulls alongside the War Rig on the other side.
[07:33] *** It's Immortan RO's vehicle! Inside, Chibi-AnTil is being pressed up against the window, held in place as the girls inside stroke his ears and tails.
[07:33] <Chibi-AnTil> >___<;;;
[07:36] *** Oh jeez, how did Scharnhorst and Gneisenau get in there with everyone else!!! Immortan RO's vehicle is practically the Party-Van now, and between the "Ugly Sisters" and Atago, it looks like young AnTil is being used as a body-pillow!
[07:36] <Atago> :D~
[07:37] <Scharnhorst> ;D
[07:37] <Gneisenau> :3
[07:37] <Chibi-AnTil> D:
[07:37] *** Several Desert Kits start yapping at Immortan RO's Party-Van in dismay and outrage!!
[07:39] * Sopporosa looks around grimly. The War Rig has been completely surrounded now. All of the other vehicles have caught up.
[07:40] * UMP-9 is still underneath the War Rig, working on the engines. With a final twist of a wrench...
[07:41] *** The RPM readout suddenly starts climbing from 10 to over 40! THE ENGINE'S RUNNING AT FULL AGAIN!!
[07:41] <Sopporosa> >:D
[07:41] * M4A1 is still dangling upside down! >__<;
[07:42] * M4A1 notices a car racing up alongside the War Rig, running right between them and Taihou's truck.
[07:42] *** IT'S UMP-45 DRIVING!!!!
[07:42] <UMP-45> >:D
[07:43] * UMP-45 POINTS threateningly at M4A1. Is it possible to do a JoJo pose while driving? Because 45 sure seems to be trying.
[07:44] * Sopporosa FLOORS the accelerator and starts increasing speed again.
[07:45] * Sopporosa turns sharply and RAMS UMP-45's car, sending it crashing against the side of Taihou's truck. There's hardly any room between them to maneuver!
[07:46] * UMP-45 's car bounces off of Taihou's truck, then rebounds off of the War Rig again!
[07:46] * Sopporosa rams her again! >:D
[07:47] *** UMP-45's car is getting wrecked as it becomes a vehicular sandwich!!!!!
[07:48] <UMP-45> :O
[07:49] * UMP-45 's car gets mangled by one of Taihou's truck's front tires! The frame starts to collapse like an accordion around her and something bursts into flames!!!!!!!
[07:49] <UMP-45> :D
[07:51] * UMP-45 's car starts resembling something that got put through a food processor as something blows up! The car starts to disintegrate as it gets pulled further underneath the wheels of the War Rig!!
[07:51] <UMP-45> ♦ VALHALLA~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:59] * UMP-45 's car gets transformed into something you'd normally see at a monster truck rally as it's completely run over, folded, spindled, mutilated, and transformed into Wasteland Vehicular Origami.
[07:59] *** UMP-45 has left #suburbansenshi3 ( "I LIVE, I DIE, I LIVE AGAIN!!!!!")
[08:00] *** OH JEEZ!! Is that a UMP-45 stunt-dummy now stuck on one of the rear tires of the War-Rig, flapping around like crazy?!??! HOLY CRAP!!!
[08:06] <Taihou> O____o
[08:07] * Taihou nudges Kashino and points at M4A1.
[08:07] <M4A1> O___O
[08:08] * M4A1 sees Taihou's truck picking up speed. She's either planning to try and ram the War Rig or hit HER directly!
[08:08] * M4A1 blinks as UMP-9 suddenly climbs out from underneath the War Rig near her.
[08:09] <UMP-9> ENGINE'S RUNNING! FOR NOW!
[08:09] * UMP-9 sees that Taihou's truck is just a few feet away!
[08:10] * UMP-9 KICKS M4A1!
[08:10] * Sopporosa is still holding on tight, meaning that M4A1 is forced up...AND RIGHT ONTO THE FRONT GRILL OF TAIHOU'S VEHICLE!
[08:11] *** M4A1 has boarded the Shota-Eater's truck!
[08:11] <UMP-9> ^____^..b
[08:13] * Fusou points at M4A1!!
[08:13] * Yamashiro start shooting at M4A1! >:D
[08:14] *** From the top scaffolding of the War Rig comes a barrage of bullets as Kaga and Kii both gun down both Fusou and Yamashiro. They are both STILL in this fight!
[08:15] *** Yamashiro has left #suburbansenshi3 ( "Sister~!!!!" T____T)
[08:16] *** Fusou has left #suburbansenshi3 ("OW!! Did you have to shoot me in the BUTTOCKS like this?!")
[08:17] * M4A1 launches herself over the front grill of the truck and rushes towards the open-top!
[08:17] * M4A1 PUNCHES Kashino in the face, then bodily YANKS her out and throws her aside!!!
[08:19] *** Kashino has left #suburbansenshi3 ("SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
[08:20] * Taihou (Shota-Eater) tries to wrestle with M4A1 as she drops down into the driver's seat.
[08:20] <Taihou (Shota-Eater)> D:<
[08:21] * M4A1 PAWNCHES her in the face!
[08:21] <Taihou (Shota-Eater)> X____x
[08:21] * M4A1 now has a vehicle of her own!
[08:21] <M4A1> >:D
[08:22] * M4A1 floors the accelerator and starts to pull forward.
[08:22] *** Immortan RO has her vehicle riding on the War-Rig's nose, preventing it from getting ahead. M4A1 pulls up alongside HER.
[08:23] <Immortan RO> - <___< -
[08:23] * Taihou (Shota-Eater) wakes up and pulls out a gun, trying to aim it at M4A1.
[08:24] * M4A1 grabs the pistol, wrenches it from Taihou's hand, then SLAMS her face into the dashboard a couple of times before pulling her close.
[08:25] *** Meanwhile, UMP-9 and Chitose both climb back into the cabin.
[08:26] <UMP-9> Engine 1 is running, but I don't know for how long.
[08:27] <Chitose> We cleared off all the boarders, but we lost Akagi.
[08:27] <Chitose> What happened to Shinano?!
[08:27] <Shinano> @___@
[08:27] * UMP-9 notices how heavily Sopporosa is bleeding from her side. "What happened to YOU?!"
[08:28] *** Meanwhile, M4A1 pulls up alongside Immortan RO.
[08:29] * Taihou (Shota-Eater) struggles to break free of M4A1! "HELP! HELP ME!!" XO
[08:29] * Immortan RO aims out the side and starts shooting. >:[
[08:30] *** M4A1 avoids all of the shots aimed at her by using Taihou as a shield. Coincidentally, Taihou is struck every time...in the forehead and several times in her chest! Who exactly was Immortan RO AIMING at here?
[08:31] *** Taihou (Shota-Eater) has left #suburbansenshi3 ("RIGHT IN MY BOOBS??! WHY??!?!!!!")
[08:33] * M4A1 lets go and focuses on driving, pulling ahead of Immortan RO and ramming HER in the side.
[08:34] * Sopporosa sees that she's no longer blocked and FLOORS IT!
[08:36] *** The War Rig starts to put some distance between it and the pursuit vehicles. Sopporosa starts accelerating alongside M4A1's truck.
[08:36] * Sopporosa sees one of the other dune buggies trying to get in close to M4A1 and hits the Nitrous-oxide booster!!!
[08:38] *** Baltimore and Bremerton are driving that dune buggy, with Bremerton sporting the whole "Wasteland Raider" look and seeming like she's enjoying it!
[08:38] <Bremerton> >:D
[08:38] * Baltimore is on the turret and taking aim at M4A1, then she notices out of her peripheral vision...
[08:38] <Baltimore> O____O
[08:39] <Baltimore> BEHIND US!!!
[08:39] <Bremerton> Oy?
[08:39] * Bremerton and Baltimore are suddenly hit from behind at high speed!
[08:41] *** Their vehicle just PANCAKES across the cattle-prow of the War-Rig, flattening and bursting apart like a watermelon getting smashed by Gallager!!!
[08:41] *** Bremerton has left #suburbansenshi3 (X_____X)
[08:43] *** Baltimore has left #suburbansenshi3 ("....oooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww...")
[08:45] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!"
[07:04] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "STAND BY FOR ACTION!"
[07:29] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:29] *** The scene starts with a glorious recap of Baltimore's and Bremerton's vehicle getting absolutely PANCAKED by Sopporosa.
[07:31] * Sopporosa pulls the War Rig alongside M4A1's truck. Everyone in the cab start calling for M4A1 to jump over.
[07:32] * Several Desert Kits are yip-yipping at her! Hurry, you silly Hooman!
[07:33] *** Several of the tires on the truck are shredded as harpoons and bullets tear into them.
[07:33] * M4A1 pulls in a little closer, then uses Taihou's limp body to jam the gas pedal down.
[07:37] * M4A1 climbs out of the cab and LEAPS over onto the War Rig!
[07:37] *** Chitose and Musashi grab onto her!
[07:39] *** Suddenly, the Shota-Eater's truck takes a hit that completely locks up one of its front tires. The whole vehicle pitches over hard to one side, then begins to roll over and start breaking apart spectacularly!
[07:39] <M4A1> O___o
[07:39] * M4A1 is suddenly grabbed from above and yanked off of the War Rig!!
[07:40] *** Reisen Udongein Inaba [LunaticMoonRabbit@FedCom.Net (Pirated Serve] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[07:40] <@spiritflame> ohayo Reisen Udongein Inaba
[07:40] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> >:D
[07:40] * Reisen Udongein Inaba and the few remaining Polebunnies are STILL in this chase!!
[07:40] * Reisen Udongein Inaba pulls M4A1 up high!
[07:41] * M4A1 catches a glimpse of Chibi-AnTil in Immortan RO's Party-Van. HE'S BEING TORTURED WITH HEADPATS!!!
[07:43] *** Two other Polebunny vehicles are on either side of the Immortan Party Van and Elphelt and Ramlethal are on the poles, swinging back and forth, dropping down at each end-arc to reach through the open roof to give Chibi-AnTil headpats and ear-scratches each time.
[07:44] <M4A1> >:O
[07:45] * Reisen Udongein Inaba 's pole drops down as low as it can go, just a few feet above the ground! She then tries to shove M4A1 INTO the ground...while the tow-truck is still travelling at high speed!
[07:45] * Reisen Udongein Inaba is trying to give M4A1 the WORST case of Road Rash!!!!
[07:47] * M4A1 starts punching Reisen in the face repeatedly! >:[
[07:48] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> >__<;;
[07:48] * Reisen Udongein Inaba punches back!!
[07:50] * M4A1 struggles, grabs onto something at Reisen's waist, and yanks it free!!
[07:51] *** Pop goes the line securing Reisen to the pole!
[07:51] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> D:
[07:53] * Reisen Udongein Inaba falls off, hits the ground, skids for upwards of a hundred or so meters, then friction FINALLY slows her down and she (or rather her stunt-dummy) is run over by something that looks like a turbocharged steamroller with a JATO thruster welded to the back of it.
[07:54] *** Reisen Udongein Inaba [LunaticMoonRabbit@FedCom.Net (Pirated Serve] has left #suburbansenshi3 ("FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!!!!!!!!!!")
[07:55] *** ...GAWD DAMMIT, is that an actual ORK driving that steamroller thing?!??!?!?!?!
[07:55] <Brickfist> >:D
[07:56] *** ...that explains a LOT.
[07:57] * M4A1 starts to swing back over to the War Rig, but she can't reach it.
[07:57] *** The pole starts to swing back the other way.
[07:57] * M4A1 lets go and drops down onto ANOTHER of the pursuit vehicles!
[07:58] * M4A1 has landed on the suped-up, jacked-up, AMPED-up chariot of the DOOF WARRIOR HERSELF!!!!!!
[08:01] *** The drum-players are beating away steadily (hey wait, there's Kazuma, Yun-Yun, AND Wiz!!!!), the rows and rows of stacked amplifiers are just doing their damnedest to surpass Vinyl Scratch's Bass Cannons, and at the very front, jamming away a speedmetal riff like there's no tomorrow is HER!!!!!!!
[08:01] <Megumin>
[08:04] *** The whole convoy is approaching the canyons fast. The gorge is only a few miles away at this point.
[08:05] * Sopporosa tries to get the War Rig ahead of Immortan RO, who's keeping her own vehicle neck-and-neck with hers.
[08:05] * Sopporosa RAMS the Party Van!
[08:06] <Immortan RO> - >:[ -
[08:06] * Immortan RO hits the nitrous-oxide booster and accelerates AHEAD!
[08:07] * Immortan RO jams on the brakes and lets herself get rear-ended a little! Unfortunately for Sopporosa, the back end of the Party Van is much higher than the front end of the War Rig, which then SMASHES into the intake manifold of the War Rig's turbocharger!
[08:08] *** Everyone hears a LOUD wheezing sound start coming from the War Rig's engines.
[08:08] <UMP-9> D:
[08:09] <UMP-9> You hear that? We're gonna see two airborne V-8s soon!
[08:10] <Sopporosa> ...
[08:10] <Sopporosa> I'm gonna need you to drive. I'll get her out of our way.
[08:10] * Sopporosa sounds weaker now. The stab she took from Souryuu is REALLY taking a toll on her.
[08:12] * Sopporosa starts to climb out and onto the hood. A few daring Desert Kits scramble out with her.
[08:13] *** The Doof Warrior's Chariot is riding on the War Rig's tail, and Megumin is still jamming away, completely unaware of just WHO is climbing up right behind her!
[08:13] <Megumin> XD
[08:13] <M4A1> >:(
[08:17] * San Diego sees the danger and shoots at M4A1!!
[08:17] <San Diego> D:<
[08:18] * M4A1 narrowly avoids the shot and grabs Megumin from behind to use her as a shield!
[08:18] <Megumin> :O
[08:20] * Megumin is strapped in with bungie cords, so throwing her around only succeeds in making her bounce around all over the place.
[08:21] * M4A1 grabs the flamethrowing guitar off of Megamin and uses it to start BASHING THE HECK out of San Diego, causing it to erupt flames with each hit!!
[08:22] <M4A1> D:<
[08:22] <San Diego> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! HELP!!! THIS CHICK IS CRAZY!!!!!! XO
[08:25] * M4A1 swings HARD at San Diego, smacking her across the face with the guitar!
[08:25] * San Diego goes flying off the vehicle!!
[08:25] *** San Diego has left #suburbansenshi3 ("AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!")
[08:28] * M4A1 knocks Megumin back again as someone ELSE climbs up to fight with her!
[08:30] * Portland climbs up to try and save her sister!!
[08:30] <Portland> HEY! What'd you do to San Diego?!?!?!?!
[08:31] <M4A1> THIS!!
[08:31] * M4A1 SMACKS her across the face with the guitar, causing yet more flames to erupt.
[08:32] * Portland goes flying off the vehicle too!
[08:33] *** Portland has left #suburbansenshi3 ("Save me, Indianapolis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" >___<;)
[08:33] * Megumin grabs onto M4A1 and starts WRASSLIN' with her!!!
[08:34] <M4A1> >:(
[08:34] * Megumin BITES her on the arm!!
[08:35] <M4A1> >____<;;;
[08:35] * M4A1 PAWNCHES her out and turns to jump back onto the War Rig!!!
[08:35] * Megumin goes flying off...!!
[08:36] *** Then get pulled right back on by the bungee cord harness she's attached too! Her guitar even bounces back on its OWN harness!
[08:37] * Megumin squeals in delight as the guitar practically falls right back into her hands and she resumes JAMMING for the apocalypse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:37] <Megumin> XD
[08:37] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!"
[08:40] *** Continuing from last Sunday:
[08:40] * Sarqui has joined the party
[08:41] * Sarqui has moved to: [ Chiyoko's ]
[08:41] <Sarqui> [Chiyoko's] How old were you agin, then?
[08:42] <Merc_Nezu> [Chiyoko's] Well, you usually don't ask a lady that question, but I'll be 23 this fall.
[08:43] <Merc_Nezu> [Chiyoko's] It's actually only a few days away!
[08:43] * Merc_Nezu is away: snickering
[08:44] * Sarqui is away: Toasting the others
[07:08] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "STAND BY FOR ACTION!"
[07:14] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:16] *** The movie picks up right where it left off. Megumin's back to providing her insane heavy metal soundtrack to the wasteland, and M4A1 is jumping off of the Chariot and onto the back of the War Rig.
[07:17] <M4A1> >___<;
[07:19] *** Other Wardolls have been jumping onto the Chariot and are clambering over it to get to the front to pursue M4A1!!
[07:25] * G3 leaps onto the War Rig next to M4A1. "YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!!!"
[07:25] * M4A1 elbows her several times in the face and knocks her off!
[07:25] * G3 FALLS OFF!!! D:
[07:26] *** G3 has left #suburbansenshi3 (*gets run over, triggering MULTIPLE squib-loads *)
[07:29] * M950A attempts to jump on next to M4A1...but completely messes that up when she miscalculates the jump and falls short by an inch or two.
[07:30] <M950A> O______O
[07:30] * M950A just soars off-screen in a display that's almost SAD to look at.
[07:31] *** M950A has left #suburbansenshi3 (THUD!!!!!!!!!!!)
[07:32] *** Meanwhile, Sopporosa has reached the Party Van and is climbing up onto it.
[07:32] * Sopporosa grabs one of the explosive-tipped spears and THROWS it at the armored hatch in front of her. Knock-knock!!
[07:33] <Immortan RO> - O___O -
[07:33] <Atago> >:O
[07:34] * Sopporosa drops down and picks up a couple of the Desert Kits that are at her feet. She then reaches up and puts them onto the Party Van.
[07:35] *** The Desert Kits start to creep across the Party Van's hull, anticipating mischief! >:3 >;3
[07:36] * Chibi-Sylvester sticks his head out of the cab. "SOPPO!! SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH SHINANO! Nagato thinks she's dying!"
[07:37] * Chibi-Sylvester sees the hatch in the back of the Party Van open.
[07:37] * Atago pulls herself onto the back platform of the Party Van, looking positively UNHINGED. >:D
[07:39] * Chibi-Sylvester notices that Atago hasn't seen Sopporosa yet. He stands up and crawls forward.
[07:39] <Chibi-Sylvester> ATAGO!!!!
[07:39] <Chibi-Sylvester> TAKE ME!!!! I WANT TO GO BACK!!! T_____T
[07:41] <Atago> *____*
[07:42] * Atago jumps onto the hood of the War Rig to grab onto Chibi-Sylvester's outstretched hand.
[07:43] <Atago> 
Don't worry! Big Sister's here now!
[07:43] * Atago drops down to one knee before Chibi-Sylvester, her expression beaming.
[07:45] <Atago> It's no good! I can't control myself anymore!
[07:46] <Atago> Sylvester, won't you become mine? You won't have to worry about anything! All you have to do is listen to me, and I'll satisfy all your needs!
[07:48] <Chibi-Sylvester> ^____^;
[07:48] * Chibi-Sylvester takes Atago's hand.
[07:48] * Chibi-Sylvester IMMEDIATELY gets swept up into Atago's embrace and carried back to the Party Van, where she deposits him onto it.
[07:48] <Chibi-Sylvester> >:D
[07:50] * Nagato and Chitose lean out.
[07:50] <Nagato> HEY! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM!? >:(
[07:50] * Atago turns back to face them, looking INSANELY pissed.
[07:51] * Atago STILL hasn't noticed Sopporosa. Or the dozen or so Desert Kits that are now crawling onto the Party Van.
[07:51] * Atago charges and leans into the open top to punch at everyone!
[07:52] * Musashi and Nagato immediately begin to Flail-Tail Atago in the face!!
[07:54] * Chitose attacks her from the side. "HEY! HORNY BIG SIS!!!"
[07:55] * Atago just PAWNCHES her and sends her flying OFF the War Rig!
[07:55] *** Chitose has left #suburbansenshi3 (>____<;; "AAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh~!!!")
[07:56] <Atago> >:D
[07:56] * Atago suddenly staggers as she takes a direct hit in the forehead from an empty rifle magazine.
[07:59] *** M4A1 has reached the top of the War Rig and she looks like she's gone through hell to get there!
[08:00] * M4A1 rushes up and PUNCHES Atago low and hard!!!
[08:01] *** Atago doesn't even react. Holy crap, her abs must be like STEEL!!
[08:03] * Atago grabs M4A1 by the face and just THROWS her back. >:[
[08:03] *** Meanwhile, Sopporosa and Chibi-Sylvester climb into the Party Van!!!!
[08:06] * Various Desert Kits creep inside as well!
[08:08] * MG3 and Mk48 move to oppose them! Great...it's the "Eager Tomboy Machinegun Girl" and the "Creepy High-Maintenance MG Girl"!!
[08:08] <Chibi-AnTil> <___<;
[08:08] * Immortan RO is just POINTING at him.
[08:08] <Immortan RO> - DO NOT MOVE. >:[ -
[08:09] * MG3 and Mk48 both CHARGE at Sopporosa and knock her to the ground!
[08:10] <~> Get them!!!
[08:11] *** MG3 and Mk48 both scream out in surprise and terror as they're both swarmed by the Desert Kits. Mk48 falls almost immediately to a Facehugger Kit, while MG3 stumbles and falls off the Party Van onto the ground below!
[08:12] *** Mk48 has left #suburbansenshi3 ( MMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPPHHHHH~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
[08:12] *** MG3 has left #suburbansenshi3 ("AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!!!!!!!")
[08:12] *** Random Desert Kit has left #suburbansenshi3 ("WiTnEsS mEeEeEeEeEe~!!!!")
[08:13] * Scharnhorst and Gneisenau notice what's going on and move in!
[08:13] <Scharnhorst> D;<
[08:13] <Gneisenau> >:f
[08:15] * Gneisenau grabs onto Chibi-Sylvester and SHOVES him inside the Party Van. >:f
[08:15] * Scharnhorst starts trading punches and blows with Sopporosa.
[08:16] * Scharnhorst knocks Sopporosa to the floor and STOMPS on her HARD!!
[08:17] <Sopporosa> DX
[08:17] <Scharnhorst> >;D
[08:18] *** UMP-9, still driving the War Rig, sees what's going on and stomps the accelerator a little, ramming the Party Van and knocking it around a bit.
[08:19] *** Chibi-Sylvester is already inside, and Sopporosa is on the floor. Gneisenau and Scharnhorst, however, are both STANDING and have to stop what they're doing to prevent themselves from falling!
[08:20] * Gneisenau is immediately beset upon by a Facehugger Kit!!!!
[08:20] *** Gneisenau has left #suburbansenshi3 ("MMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPHHH~!!!!!!!!!")
[08:22] * Scharnhorst nearly goes over the side!
[08:23] * Sopporosa quickly gets up and TACKLES her, sending her flying off the side!! With her other hand she grabs onto part of the railing and holds on, dangling off the side of the Party Van
[08:24] * Scharnhorst isn't so lucky!!
[08:24] *** Scharnhorst lands on one of the oversized Monster-Truck tires and gets turned into a SPEEDBUMP by it!
[08:29] *** Scharnhorst has left #suburbansenshi3 (AUA! VERNAMMIT!!!!)
[08:29] *** Meanwhile, M4A1 is still fighting Atago and is getting PUMMELLED by her!
[08:30] <M4A1> XO
[08:30] <Atago> >:D
[08:31] * Atago has M4A1 pinned against the wall of the trailer and is just WHALING on her repeatedly.
[08:31] <Atago> I call this BIG SISTER'S AUTHORITY!!!!!!
[08:32] * Atago just B[BLEEP]CH-SLAPS M4A1 like she owes her money!!
[08:33] <M4A1> >______<;;;;;;;;;
[08:33] * Atago goes for her sword!
[08:34] * Kii suddenly leans over the side and fires at shot at Atago!
[08:34] *** The shot goes a little wide. Instead of hitting Atago, it hits the scabbard of her sword with a huge metallic SNAP.
[08:35] * Atago FLINCHES!!!
[08:35] * Atago turns to face Kii with a demonic sneer! >:D
[08:35] * M4A1 takes the opportunity to grab Atago's sword and whips it out!
[08:36] *** It's just the handle now. Kii's shot destroyed the blade right where it meets the hilt.
[08:36] * M4A1 just starts using it to smash Atago in the head over and over and over and over and over and over!!!!!
[08:38] *** Meanwhile, Sopporosa is climbing outside the Party Van and moving to the front of it, clutching onto the barbed spear she'd grabbed onto to steady herself.
[08:39] * Immortan RO sees her in her sideview window. Warning: a[BLEEP]les in mirror are closer than they appear!
[08:39] * Immortan RO rolls down her window to aim her gun at Sopporosa!
[08:40] <Chibi-Sylvester> NOW!!!!
[08:40] * Chibi-Sylvester and Chibi-AnTil both lunge at Immortan RO's arm, grabbing into her and keeping her from aiming at Sopporosa!!
[08:41] * Desert Kits immediately join in, leaping onto her arm and sinking their teeth into the thick rolls of bandaging she's got wrapped around it.
[08:43] * Immortan RO shakes them all off and turns to face Sopporosa!!
[08:43] <Immortan RO> - >:[ -
[08:43] * Sopporosa jams the spear in and hooks it through Immortan RO's gas mask hoses.
[08:44] <Sopporosa> ♦ REMEMBER ME!!!!
[08:44] * Sopporosa DROPS THE CHAIN CONNECTED TO THE SPEAR INTO THE TIRES BELOW AND BEHIND HER!!
[08:44] *** The chain gets caught up in it and almost immediately goes taut!!
[08:47] * Immortan RO 's elaborate horse-toothed half-mask is GORILY RIPPED OFF of her face amidst a GIGANTIC spray of viscera!!!!! (Actually, yet more Cheesykits special effects, consisting several creatively-placed squib-loads loaded with ground beef and marinara sauce detonating.)
[08:50] *** Sopporosa's obviously prosthetic arm is ripped off in the process, too! (Remember, her left arm is a replacement taken off of a Sangvis Ferri Doll).
[08:51] * Immortan RO is just REKT!!!!!!! She falls back in her seat and is immediately beset upon by ravenous Desert Kits!!!
[08:52] * Sopporosa is pulled to safety back onto the back platform of the Party Van by M4A1.
[08:53] * Chibi-AnTil quickly takes the steering wheel!
[08:53] * Chibi-Sylvester stands up at the back.
[08:54] <Chibi-Sylvester> ♦ SHE'S DEAD!!! IMMORTAN RO IS DEAD!!!
[08:54] *** Everyone back on the War Rig is STUNNED by his announcement!!
[08:55] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!!"
[07:18] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "STAND BY FOR ACTION!"
[07:42] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:42] *** The movie picks up where it left off yesterday!
[07:42] <Chibi-Sylvester> ♦ SHE'S DEAD!!! IMMORTAN RO IS DEAD!!!
[07:43] *** Everyone inside the cab of the War Rig stares back at him in shock.
[07:45] *** Everyone starts climbing forward and moving onto the Party Van.
[07:45] * M4A1 helps transfer some of the Desert Kits.
[07:46] * Musashi and Nagato climb onboard.
[07:47] * Chibi-Sylvester climbs back ONTO the War Rig and hurries to the cab.
[07:47] <UMP-9> Hey! What's up?
[07:47] * Chibi-Sylvester reaches in to take the Big Bag of Seeds and pauses to check on Shinano.
[07:48] <Chibi-Sylvester> Miss Sleepy Super-Fluff! Are you...?
[07:48] *** Shinano has left #suburbansenshi3 (*died peacefully and quietly, the soft smile never fading from her face. *)
[07:49] <Chibi-Sylvester> :(
[07:49] *** Kaga and Kii move past them and get onboard the Party Van.
[07:51] * Chibi-Sylvester picks up the last Desert Kit, plucking it off of Shinano's shoulder where it was squeaking at her and poking her with its paws, trying in vain to wake her up.
[07:52] <UMP-9> When you're across, I'll jam the gas and join you.
[07:53] <Kaga> COME ON, SYLVESTER! WE'RE ALMOST AT THE PASS!!
[07:54] *** The War Rig is quickly approaching the narrowest point of the canyon now, and the pursuit vehicles are boxed in behind it.
[07:54] * Chibi-Sylvester is pulled onboard the Party Van.
[07:55] * UMP-9 FLINCHES AS SOMEONE BIG AND MENACING JUMPS DOWN ONTO THE HOOD!!
[07:55] *** Atago has joined #suburbansenshi3
[07:55] <@spiritflame> ohayo Atago
[07:55] <Atago> >:[
[07:57] * Atago POINTS at Kaga! "Get your hands offofmymanYOUWHOOOORRRRREEEE~!!!!!!
[07:59] * UMP-9 hits the brakes!!!!
[08:00] *** Before Atago can do anything more, she watches helplessly as the Party Van accelerates ahead while the War Rig loses speed.
[08:00] <Atago> D:<
[08:01] * Atago grabs one of the intake manifolds protruding through the hood and PHYSICALLY RIPS IT OUT OF ITS MOORINGS!!!!
[08:01] *** Flames ignite within the engines and it's obvious that the War Rig is now on its last legs!
[08:02] * Atago raises the huge piece of machinery over her head and HOWLS her rage!!! BIG SISTER WILL NOT BE DEFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:02] * UMP-9 smiles as she knows what she has to do.
[08:03] *** UMP-9 points at Chibi-Sylvester and everyone else on the Party Van that's now staring back at her helplessly.
[08:03] <UMP-9> WITNESS ME!
[08:04] * UMP-9 waits until the Party Van is through the narrowest part of the gorge, then turns the steering wheel HARD.
[08:07] *** The War Rig makes a hard turn right into the shattered rock and dust piled up beside the road, lurching hard and getting knocked off its center of balance. At the same time, the trailer's inertia carries it forward into the rig, but since the rig is now at an angle, the trailer just wedges it further!
[08:09] *** The War Rig JACK-KNIFES!!!! Flipping over and crashing against the sides of the road, the whole thing turns into a massive metallic roadblock across the entire road, with more than a few of the pursuit vehicles (starting with Megumin's Apocalyptic Metal Chariot) crashing into it at all, exponentially increasing the carnage as the whole pileup EXPLODES!!!.
[08:10] *** Megumin has left #suburbansenshi3 ("EXPLOSION~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" XD)
[08:11] *** Atago has left #suburbansenshi3 ("NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM BIG SISTER'S LOVE~!!!!!!!!!!")
[08:11] *** UMP-9 has left #suburbansenshi3 ("Witness me, boys.")
[08:13] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!"
[07:07] *** The Cheesykits logo appears! "STAND BY FOR ACTION!"
[07:13] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:16] *** The scene picks up where it left off. The Party Van is speeding alone through the wasteland with the mountains now behind it. There are no pursuit vehicles in sight.
[07:18] * Sopporosa looks terrible. She's wheezing helplessly and she looks pale enough to pass for a member of Sangvis Ferri.
[07:19] *** Several Desert Kits are clustering around Sopporosa, gently nudging her with their paws and looking concerned.
[07:19] <Chibi-Sylvester> What's wrong with her?
[07:21] <Kaga> It's that stab in her side. Her lung's collapsing because of it.
[07:22] * M4A1 is rummaging around in a nearby medical kit marked with a label that says "Property of Vestal".
[07:22] * M4A1 pulls out a long knife that looks EXTREMELY sharp and pointy!
[07:23] <M4A1> I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for doing this.
[07:24] * M4A1 jabs Sopporosa in the side opposite from where she got stabbed. Not deeply, but just enough to open a wound through to the lung cavity.
[07:24] * Sopporosa almost immediately takes a DEEP breath and starts to bounce back a little.
[07:26] * Sopporosa starts to pass out again.
[07:26] <Kaga> She's lost so much blood.
[07:26] <M4A1> Blood you say?
[07:27] * M4A1 fishes out the blood transfusion kit that was used on her for so long.
[07:28] <M4A1> Keep her awake! Don't let her pass out!
[07:28] *** The Desert Kits get to work, poking, prodding, and even BITING Sopporosa a little to keep her awake.
[07:29] *** Everyone else helps M4A1 with inserting the needles and positioning everything as needed.
[07:29] * Sopporosa SLOWLY starts to look better by degrees.
[07:30] <M4A1> M4A1...my name is M4A1.
[07:31] * M4A1 has FINALLY told everyone her name. She's no longer the Doll With No Name.
[07:34] *** The scene switches - it's early morning at the Citadel! The ragged people and Wasteland Kits there are dragging themselves out of the dirt and squalor as they see the Party Van steadily approach.
[07:35] *** The Wardolls of the Citadel see it coming as well as start to lower the vehicle elevator, but stop just short of touching down on the ground as they notice something's off.
[07:35] *** There's a body wrapped in a tarp on the hood!
[07:39] *** It's Zara and Pola of the Sardegna Empire on that elevator! Looking stylish as ever.
[07:39] * Pola points at the Party Van as it drives up close and brakes to a halt just in front of the elevator. "WHO ARE YOU?! IDENTIFY YOURSELVES!"
[07:40] * M4A1 gets out.
[07:40] <M4A1> >:/
[07:40] * M4A1 climbs up onto the hood of the Party Van, keeping her hands where everyone can see them.
[07:41] *** A HUGE crowd has gathered. Hundreds of people and Wasteland Kits are watching now.
[07:43] * ST AR-15 is watching through a telescope from way at the top of the Citadel. She was left in charge while Immortan RO was away.
[07:43] <ST AR-15> What's she got?!
[07:44] * M4A1 whips away the tarp to reveal...!!!
[07:46] *** IT'S IMMORTAN RO!!!! Or rather, it's a wrecked "dummy-doll" of RO-635 that looks like it had the squib-load detonate INSIDE the mouth. Instead of her usual heterochromatic color, her eyes are showing only the Blue Screen of Death.
[07:46] *** The crowd is STUNNED!
[07:46] <Zara> :O
[07:46] <Pola> D:
[07:47] <Pola> SHE'S DEAD! IMMORTAN RO IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:47] * M4A1 pushes Immortan RO off the hood and lets the body fall to the grund.
[07:47] *** The Wasteland Kits SWARM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:48] * Immortan RO is engulfed by the enraged foxes and vanishes almost immediately beneath a wave of fluff! The Desert Kits inside the Party Van spill out and join in!
[07:51] *** Several more squib-loads detonate inside the Fox-pile, dousing a few of them in chunky "gore"!!! Sausage links are ripped free and hurled through the air! They're doing way more than just KICKING her ass!!!
[07:52] *** Wait...why is some of that "gore" WHITE in color? Aw jeez, SOMEONE LOADED THE SQUIB-LOADS WITH ALFRADO SAUSE!!!!
[07:54] * Chibi-AnTil and Chibi-Sylvester stand up at the back of the Party Van.
[07:54] * Sopporosa is helped up onto the hood by M4A1.
[07:54] *** The crowd recognizes Sopporosa!
[07:55] <The crowd> ♦ Let them up! Let them up! Let them up! Let them up!
[07:56] <ST AR-15> D:
[07:58] <~> That does it. Let's do this.
[07:59] *** The Submarine Girls of Azur Lane start moving throughout the inside of the Citadel. At the controls of the elevator, they shove the head Wardolls aside and take control of its mechanisms.
[08:01] *** Then the crowd goes wild as the water from the sluice gates high above start to flow! A bona-fide waterfall of clean water cascades down on everyone...and it KEEPS going!
[08:01] *** The elevator touches down, and the Party Van drives onto it.
[08:02] * Kaga ,Kii, and Musashi quickly disarm Zara and Pola to make sure they don't try to pull anything sneaky.
[08:03] *** Dozens of people and Wasteland Kits start crowding onto the elevator with everyone, eager to leave the dusty hellhole outside the Citadel!
[08:03] *** The Desert Kits squeal and yip happily as they meet their cousins for the first time!
[08:04] <Sopporosa> :D
[08:05] * Sopporosa hugs Chibi-AnTil and Chibi-Sylvester close. "It's all right now. No one's EVER going to hurt you again."
[08:06] <Chibi-Sylvester> T__T
[08:06] <Chibi-AnTil> :D
[08:07] * M4A1 smiles at looks at everyone, taking in just how tired they all look. Tired, but ecstatic. And hopeful for the first time in ages.
[08:08] * M4A1 looks down at the crowds as the elevator slowly rises inch by inch and sees...
[08:09] * Chibi-Solar is among the crowds below, looking up at his sons, smiling.
[08:09] * is looking up at M4A1, smiling.
[08:09] <Chibi-Nat> ^
[08:11] * Chibi-Nat and Chibi-Solar turn and start walking away from elevator and everyone else, vanishing as they go.

[08:13] <Sopporosa> ...!
[08:14] <Sopporosa> Wait...where is she? Where's M4A1X?
[08:14] * Sopporosa looks around and finds...
[08:14] * M4A1 is down below, among the crowds of people.
[08:15] * M4A1 looks back up at Sopporosa, smiling a little as she makes a single wave, then vanishes into the crowd as well.
[08:16] *** The elevator keeps rising, and the screen fades to black.
[20:13] * D. Kakaku is preparing for tomorrow, but first, the announcement of a new test!

After the presents were unpacked along the way (A book on Cosmology, a Writing Utensils set, a cute light blue scarf for the upcoming Autumn& Winter and several more stuff) and after they taught the girls how to use the cross-dimensional credit cards, they've started their little shopping tour through this world's Azabu Juuban District.
[05:11] * Merc_Nezu has moved to: [ Azabu Juuban ]
[05:16] <Merc_Nezu> [Azabu Juuban] But be careful, girls! After what happened to those strange Doubles of some of you, we should keep it a little low, just to be sure.

[08:35] *** Continuing from last week: The girls come from their Shopping spree, many of them loadeds with several nifty stuff.
[08:37] <Queen Bonnie> [Azabu Juuban] That was a haul! I just LOVE Summer Sale!

[23:37] <GioGio> Gio Giooo!
[22:38] *** At the bakery in the Big City
[22:49] <D. Kakaku> is anyone else wondering why?
[22:49] <Lola> Wondering why how?
[22:50] <Didi> Didiii?
[22:51] <D. Kakaku> I don't know what happened to that last group to make them lose their apprenticeship, but I wonder what would happened if they wound up keeping it.
[22:52] <Lola> .... Are you suggesting?
[22:53] <D. Kakaku> I'm suggesting we try to find out in Perfect Harmony what would have happened if they kept on being witches.
[22:53] <Lola> ..... That's.... That's forbidden Magic!
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> Forbidden?
[22:55] <Lola> yes, to change time, even for curiosity, constitutes controlling people, which is EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN.
[22:57] <Didi> O...O DiDIIIIIII!
[22:59] <GioGio> GioGio!
[22:59] * GioGio flits off towards Georgia
[23:04] <D. Kakaku> my guess is... Marilyn told you about it?
[23:06] <Marilyn> of course I did.
[23:08] <Marilyn> what has happened had happened for a reason.
[23:09] <Marilyn> and I'm pretty sure Rona and Drona recognized their error in this situation.
[23:10] <Marilyn> that's probbaly why they don't administer the final test anymore.
[23:19] <Marilyn> however, that's not to see what could happen.
[23:22] <D. Kakaku> to see?
[23:23] <Marilyn> of course, you can't go back in time and cause it, but you can ask to see the result.
[22:38] * random guy walks along the street, looking around
[22:39] * random guy stops on a bridge and looks out...
[22:39] <random guy> ...hm...

[17:10] * Pinako [Room 1006] and her friends have arrived in a ceremonial room in another universe, A Battle Begins as Pinako splits into two, the Queen-like visage with her features, and the Youma Child from the future who has grown up.

[18:04] * Pinako anwhile
[18:04] *** Meanwhie
[19:41] * DD_Girl_Pink is at the resort, the guide explains that some of the hot springs is fed through a Universal Cauldron.
[20:42] <DD_Girl_Pink> (( test ))
[20:52] * Pinako and her double are still battling!
[22:24] * Pinako has finally beaten her double, the rom begins shining.
[22:40] <Pinako's double> perhaps one day we'll be able to meet again.
[22:40] <Pinako's double> but I have a feeling that in some way, we'll already have.
[22:40] * Pinako's double is wearing robes that befit a queen of the Moon.
[22:42] <Ajiar> the queen of our universe's Earth's Moon is preparing to depart to her next incarnation.
[22:43] <Daniel Kano> do what, has her spirit inhabiting Pinako been a mid-reincarnation crisis?
[22:45] <Ajiar> I believe so... she will enter this universe's Universal Cauldron, and her star seed will be sent towards a suitable developing body.
[22:46] <Ajiar> although, if I'm not mistaken, historically, I believe that daughters of the past queens have had no fathers.
[22:46] * Pinako's Double looks back at everyone. tears in her eyes.
[22:48] <Pinako's Double> I... Serenity, Have returned, My duty for reincarnation has been fulfilled!
[22:49] * Pinako's Double steps through the portal, thumbs up, her looks reverting to the 1337-DD Universe version of the old Moon Queen herself... her body disintegrates... as the room glows brightly.
[22:49] <Pinako> What's Happening?!
[22:50] <Ajiar> Her duty has been fiinished.... we'll be returning to our universe shortly.
[22:50] <Katrina> Shortly? but I haven't gotten pictures!
[22:50] *** The room GLOWS COMEPLTELY WHITE!
[22:50] *** To Be Concluded...
[22:51] *** Meanwhile...
[22:52] <DD_Girl_Pink> I don't know if I should take a dip into the Pool, isn't its water from a Universal Couldron, like that guide said?
[23:07] * DD_Girl_Blue shrugs?
[23:11] <DD_Girl_Pink> so pretty!
[23:19] * SNEKRS_SAMY Runs up, roughhousing... and PUSHES DD_Girl_Pink into the pool.
[23:19] <DD_Girl_Pink> Wa, WAHHHH!
[23:20] * DD_Girl_Pink falls into the pool!
[23:21] <DD_Girl_Green> HEY!
[23:24] * SNEKRS_SAMY has already ran away.
[23:24] * DD_Girl_Pink has sunk into the waters of the pool.
[23:27] *** Golden, Silver, Copper, Cobalt, all types of light are shining.
[23:27] * DD_Girl_Pink opens her eyes slowly, followed by trying to swim up as though she had been pushed into the water, but she doesn't move.
[23:29] <DD_Girl_Pink> what is this, where am I?
[23:31] <Voice> ♦ Welcome, III
[23:32] <DD_Girl_Pink> III? How do you know me?
[23:34] <Voice> ♦ I have watched you in many universes, most versions of you often ended the same way... Killed at D-Point, revived shortly after and fading into obscurity while more powerful minions from more powerful groups try to take your title.
[23:35] <Voice> ♦ And yet, in here and a few others, you've risen above that, and in one of them, you've never fought at all, with a bond more akin to sisters.
[23:36] *** a Shining circular Silver Star Seed floats down gently.
[23:37] <Voice> ♦ the version of you from that universe was intended to take this star seed into her body, resulting in a new life...
[23:37] <DD_Girl_Pink> What's stopping her from doing it?
[23:38] <Voice> ♦ well, what has stopped her from doing so, was that she too had been killed at D-Point, along with her 9 sisters and friends.
[23:38] <DD_Girl_Pink> 9? Sisters I get, but friends, too?
[23:39] <Voice> ♦ yes, take a look at these images.
[23:41] *** Images are shown, they are of various moments in Pink's life, but not from her own universe. They are of
Pink's 295th Birthday, attended by a few friends, amongst the group is a 9 year old Minako Aino (1337-DD).
[23:43] *** Another image is shown
it's a group of six shilouettes preparing to rescue a group of four that is trapped in a dome.
[23:46] *** Yet another image is shown
In this universe, they didn't need to do the "Defecting Sailor Senshi" plan, That universe's version of Spectrix, named Prismus, already knows about the Dark Kingdom's schematics and where Beryl is most likely to have hidden Prince Endymion (Earth 1337-DD).
[23:46] <DD_Girl_Pink> How was she killed at D-Point?
[23:49] <Voice> /dl one last image is shown, this time, it is a moving picture
It shows the Sailor Senshi and the DD Girls prepare to defeat Queen Beryl, however, they are soon seen being toyed around by Super Beryl, all of them were summarily defeated and killed. This universe's (Earth 1337-DD's) version of Super Beryl then disappears.
[23:49] <Voice> ♦ Your nieces ultimaately destroyed this version of Queen Beryl.
[23:50] *** one last image is shown, this time, it is a moving picture It shows the Sailor Senshi and the DD Girls prepare to defeat Queen Beryl, however, they are soon seen being toyed around by Super Beryl, all of them were summarily defeated and killed. This universe's (Earth 1337-DD's) version of Super Beryl then disappears.*^
[23:51] <Voice> ♦ what is done there cannot be undone, but I can make sure I have her destiny written in.
[23:52] <Voice> instead of being a native to her own original universe, her new reincarnation will be a native of yours.
[23:52] <Voice> ♦ as for why to being reincarnated into a Youma... it was her last wish, to understand them.
[23:53] *** the Star Seed floats towards Pink's Stomach
[23:54] <Voice> ♦ You will not have any memory of this once you awaken from the cauldron's waters.
[23:54] *** The star seed phases through the sotomach.
[23:54] * DD_Girl_Pink clutches her stomach in pain.
[23:55] <DD_Girl_Pink> oooooogh, is it always this painful?
[23:56] <Voice> ♦ Normally, no, but ten normally, the intended mother does not enter either. This Star Seed would have entered you regardless.
[23:57] <Voice> ♦ Farewell, Until we meet again, III.
[23:57] <DD_Girl_Pink> What are? what is this Supposed to mean?
[23:57] *** It glows Bright White as the word "mean?" echoes out into the distance.
[00:13] * DD_Girl_Pink Coughs some water outside of the Springs.
[00:15] <DD_Girl_Pink> What was that?
[00:20] * DD_Girl_Pink heads to the suite at the resort, feeling strangely sleepy.
[00:26] * DD_Girl_Blue is resting herself
[00:29] <DD_Girl_Pink> what happened?
[00:32] <DD_Girl_Blue> huh???
[00:33] <DD_Girl_Pink> someone pushed me into the water and then I woke up here.
[00:39] <DD_Girl_Blue> I was taking a nap
[00:49] <DD_Girl_Pink> I thought you were with me when it happened?
[00:59] * DD_Girl_Pink yawns and turns in for bed.
[00:59] *** DD_Girl_Pink [pinkuyouma@gingatv.co.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3 (zzzzzzz)
[10:54] *** In the Bakery.
[10:56] <D. Kakaku> ... do you all hear something?
[10:56] <Marilyn> Huh? what do you mean?
[10:56] <D. Kakaku> I'm not sure, but it feels like someone is calling out to me.
[10:57] * Marilyn and Lola are looking at her like she's lost it.
[10:58] <D. Kakaku> hmmm.
[10:58] * D. Kakaku spins her Wandawhirl.
[10:58] <D. Kakaku> ♦ To whichever voice may be reachign out.... give them a sign to talk about!
[10:59] *** the sparkles swirl around in a circle.... and then disappear.
[10:59] <D. Kakaku> Eh?
[11:01] <D. Kakaku> Sue you?! What was a try?
[11:01] <Lola> What are you talking about?
[11:03] <Marilyn> didn't she mention being from soemwhere else? and describing herself as an older man?
[11:03] <D. Kakaku> huh? Yes, I can hear you!....
[11:03] * D. Kakaku looks to Lola and Marilyn
[11:04] <D. Kakaku> but I don't think they can hear me.
[11:04] <D. Kakaku> ... this might be forbidden... but...
[11:05] * D. Kakaku twirls her wandawhirl again.
[11:06] <D. Kakaku> ♦ I can't be everywhere, How about dividing my attention temporarily between here or there!
[11:07] * D. Kakaku sparkles appear around her body... taking... the top half of her attention away temporarily... which has an interesting side effect here in this world.
[11:08] *** form this point until an inspecified time, /love represents the original soul of the body of this world's Danielle Kakaku.
[11:09] <D. Kakaku> .... AHHHHHHH! Where am I? what am I wearing?
[11:10] <Lola> Danielle? What is going on?
[11:12] * D. Kakaku turns back to look at Lola.... incredulously.
[11:12] <D. Kakaku> .... Is that a.... Are You a....?
[11:12] <Marilyn> If you are whon I think you are, Don't Say it!
[11:16] <D. Kakaku> .... A WITTTTTCH!
[11:17] * Marilyn holds her hands up in fear..... of turning into a Witch Frog Greenling!
[11:20] <D. Kakaku> why Can't I control my legs?, it's like something else is there.
[11:20] * Marilyn hasn't turned into a Greenling.... and there's a perfectly good explanation for that one.
[11:21] <Marilyn> .... if I haven't, then whew, I guess it didn't matter which spirit the body houses.
[11:21] <D. Kakaku> what do you mean spirit? and Where's Georgie?
[11:25] <D. Kakaku> Wait, this feeling... it's crawling up my body!
[11:26] <D. Kakaku> I Can't even feel my arms now! (worriedly)
[11:27] <D. Kakaku> It's not my throat.... and going into my fa-.
[11:27] * D. Kakaku suddenly stops speaking.
[11:31] <D. Kakaku> well, that was nice.
[11:32] <Marilyn> I think we got a glimpse into who actually is supposed to be in control of the body.
[11:40] <D. Kakaku> wait, you mean, once I leave this body, the original spirit of the body will take control again?
[11:41] <Lola> of course, it's what we think... and she looked wirded out by what was going on around her.
[11:52] <D. Kakaku> I take it, becoming a witchling wasn't on her list of things to do?
[11:52] <Lola> probably not.
[12:01] *** The sound of horses neighing are now coming from the Door to the Lunaverse.
[12:01] <D. Kakaku> .... I knew it, what I did was forbidden, wasn't it.
[12:05] *** the door opens, and from it comes the Queen of the Witches, Queen Lumina.
[12:08] <Queen Lumina> I have heard someone from this place has cast forbidden magic.
[12:10] * Queen Lumina looks over the group.
[12:10] * Queen Lumina points at D. Kakaku.
[12:10] <Queen Lumina> it was you, wasn't it?
[12:11] <D. Kakaku> it, it was me... I wanted to let people near my original body know that I was fine.
[12:11] <Queen Lumina> Your.... original body?
[12:12] <Lola> Don't be silly, Danielle's talking some nonsense from herself, right?....
[12:17] <Queen Lumina> I've heard rumors from the flow of magic that a new apprentice had put himself into a coma.
[12:19] * Queen Lumina eyes D. Kakaku.
[12:19] <Queen Lumina> that Apprentice wouldn't happen to be you, wouldn't it?
[12:21] <D. Kakaku> I... well.... ermmmm....
[12:22] <Queen Lumina> I don't think the flow of magic has decided on an appropriate punishment, if what you did was done to comeone else in a coma, they would have waken up, but in return, you would then be in that come that they were in.
[12:23] <Queen Lumina> but, since it was to yourself, I wonder what to do with you?
[12:24] <Queen Lumina> I'll decide on it tonight.
[12:24] * Queen Lumina walks back through the door.
[12:24] *** Queen Lumina has left #suburbansenshi3
[12:25] <Marilyn> I wouldn't worry, the worst case scenario is you can't perform magic again.
[12:25] <D. Kakaku> how does that make me feel better?
[12:28] <Marilyn> oh come on, you're too hard on yourself, being a non-magical Patissiere didn't hurt anyone.
[12:28] <D. Kakaku> not the kinda confidence I was looking for.
[12:29] * Marilyn is away: but anyways, shall we return to our baking.
[12:29] * Lola is away: we got to bake 40 cakes before the end of the weekend
[12:29] * D. Kakaku is away: and about 40 minutes for magic?
[21:57] *** In the Lunaverse
[21:58] * Marilyn stands next to Lola and Gerogia (if she's here) awaiting D. Kakaku's verdict and punishment.
[22:00] <Queen Lumina> I have seen through the magic ether what has fully happened... you conducted a spell which would split control of which body you inhabited, the top half was your original body, with the bottom half remaining in the body you still hold.
[22:01] <Queen Lumina> you had partially and yet temporarily awakened your original body from its long slumber.
[22:03] <Queen Lumina> Four Witchlings were punished for doing the same thing with their friend, by awakening her body from a long and deep slumber.
[22:04] <Queen Lumina> Your use, just like theirs, does indeed constitute as FORBIDDEN MAGIC.
[22:14] <Queen Lumina> Your current body's original spirit had temporarily reassumed control of the top half.
[22:21] <Queen Lumina> until such time that both you and her are able to complete your final tests, your spirit will remain in the body you currently inhabit, while the body's original spirit will inhabit your original body.
[22:24] <Queen Lumina> once you both have completed your final tests, only then will you both return to your original bodies.
[22:25] <Queen Lumina> as an additional punishment, you are not allowed to use magic for one week, ending at sundown.
[22:27] * D. Kakaku sees the Wandawhirl and spelldrops pop out of her uniform, and Pop out of existence... and her Dreamspinner becomes disabled, returning her to her normal clothes.
[22:29] * Queen Lumina looks at D. Kakaku.
[22:29] *** D. Kakaku is
More information about him is Here.
His image Song is: Carry on My Wayward Son, by Kansas.
He is Level 1.
[22:30] *** black sparkles float around D. Kakaku, taking the body's original soul and whisking it off to who knows where.
[22:43] <Queen Lumina> one week, may you not cast any more forbidden magic again.
[22:43] * D. Kakaku nods.
[07:09] *** Conclusion from September 10th:
[07:10] * Merc_Nezu has moved to: [ Room 1006 ]
[07:10] <Merc_Nezu> [Room 1006] Who could that be right now?
[07:10] * Rob A. has moved to: [ Room 1006 ]
[07:11] <Rob A.> [Room 1006] No idea. Are we too loud?
[07:11] * Queen Bonnie has moved to: [ Room 1006 ]
[07:12] <Queen Bonnie> [Room 1006] No, that can't be. Like the other times, I put the sign on the door.
[07:19] *** Just as Robbie opens the door, someone we don't happen to see shoves 'something' inside, slams the door shut again and turns on their tail faster than you can say 'Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness'.
[07:20] <Rob A.> [Room 1006] Hey!
[07:21] *** looks out into the Hallway for a moment, the he comes back inside. In the middle of the room, there stands a now quite familiar face:
[07:23] *** It's the Monkey-Whatever-Hybrid he and Ami came across a while ago. He wears a fancy ribbon and a written note around his neck which Robbie reads:
[07:31] <Rob A.> [Room 1006] “ To my 'dear' Doppelgänger and her Accomplishes... No idea how you ever managed to get past our security measures, but let's set this straight once and for all: It was a clear declaration of will to eventually discard these failed Experiments. It may be true that we originally created them, but they eventually proved just too dumb to even be properly trained. And, to be honest, who actually cares what happens if we unleash them onto the world? And besides, even if we'd return this one to the herd... After you guys publicly defeated their Alpha, they most probably won't take him back, after all.”
[07:32] <Rob A.> [Room 1006] Tchk, what Impertinence!
[07:38] <Rob A.> [Room 1006] “ So we decided to, let's say 'entrust' it, or him, if you want to say so, to you. We'll see how well you can handle those creatures. And don't try this kind of stuff again. P. S.: How I managed to sned this right on time for today? I just estimated that you'd very likely share the same Birthday as me... If that's what you were asking yourself. So long and have a 'nice' day! 💢 - A. M. ”
[07:41] <Rob A.> [Room 1006] That's all we needed in this kind of situation - Some sarcastic dude who has their sights on us. First, we should try to analyze the Handwriting to determine just whom it belongs to.
[07:43] <M> Well, that's easy... Because it looks practically indentical to my own.
[07:43] <Merc_Nezu> (( Ami said this ))
[07:45] <Rob A.> [Room 1006] Really? I always 'forget' just how many different versions of ourselves are running around in the Multiverses.
[07:45] <Rob A.> [Room 1006] So, what are we going to do now with this... thing?
[07:47] *** The Monkey looks at them with a rather sad face. this way, he reminds you even more of Mr. Bananas from Dragoball Z. Thetwo (Rob & Ami) just look at each other without saying anything... *Beat*
[19:52] *** At the bakery.

[20:10] * D. Kakaku looks back towards Georgia.
[20:10] <Lola> Still concerned about her?
[20:11] <D. Kakaku> well yeah, she went with me here, she didn't want to see me go through this alone.
[20:17] <Lola> well, I think she can take the test some other time.
[20:18] <D. Kakaku> I hope Georgia's doing okay.

[20:40] <Georgie Banño> is someone in you too, Danielle?
[20:41] <D. Kakaku> well, apparently someone else Was in here, but I think the one you call Danielle, just went off to my body... because I used forbidden magic.
[20:42] <D. Kakaku> hey, if you see Gerogia, can you tell her this then?
[20:42] <Georgie Banño> tell her what?
[20:42] *** D. Kakaku has left #suburbansenshi3 (*Tells Georgie about Tomorrow's Witchling Test*)
[20:42] *** Georgie Banño has left #suburbansenshi3 (..... Are you saying WE'RE ALL WITCHLINGS?!)
[12:13] *** On October 22nd: Our friends have gathered once more for a Birthday Party, this time at Chiyoko's Restaurant...
[12:16] <Queen Bonnie> Hello, Miss, as stated before, this is no criticism against your work, but as we also have a skilled cook/baker amongst our group, the cakes are brought by ourselves today, we'll probably only require your direct service for the beverages and some conveniences...
[12:16] * Queen Bonnie has moved to: [ Chiyoko's ]
[12:16] * Queen Bonnie [Chiyoko's] claps her hands
[12:18] <Queen Bonnie> [Chiyoko's] Allright, folks, let's start. We have gathered here today to celebrate another member of our, how would you say, Nakama-Plus, getting another year older - - -
[12:19] *** 'But none the wiser, heh heh heh heh 😊', Usagi interrupts
[12:20] *** 'Bite me, fellow Blondie', Minako shoots back
[12:21] * Queen Bonnie [Chiyoko's] drums on her Champaigne glass
[12:22] <Queen Bonnie> [Chiyoko's] Quiet on the cheap rows! The roast is for later! First are the presents!
[12:23] * Pinako texts Ami-chan sorry I can't attend, we're busy celebrating our own Minako's birthday ^^;;
[12:23] *** Minako's eyes widen at those words. 'Wonder what she'll get?
[12:24] * Merc_Nezu has moved to: [ Chiyoko's ]
[12:28] * Merc_Nezu [Chiyoko's] texts Pinako Never mind, P-chan, that's understandable. And besides that, we're already quite full over here anyway. The Outers and Chibs couldn't come either, but eight people can cause enough of a ruckus for sure. Have a nice Day/Party nevertheless. - Ami-chan 🩵
[12:30] *** The Present Opening starts. Most of the stuff is Love-themed, with many heart shapes or decorations.
[12:31] *** 'It's all so lovely! Thankyouthankyouthankyou...'
[12:34] <Queen Bonnie> [Chiyoko's] Easy now, save your breath! You'll need it for the traditional Karaoke later on. But first, let's enjoy those delicious cakes and snacks Makoto created for us.
[12:36] *** So the cake (Also in the shape of a heart and with loooots of pink sugar-coating and rainbow-coloured Marshmallo bits, gets cut and everybody munches.
[12:37] <Queen Bonnie> [Chiyoko's] And now, the Moment we all have waited for! Pick your number and surprise us!
[12:39] *** The Birthday child gets to sing the first song. She clears her throat, takes a deep breath and sings:
[12:43] *** '[i]Flyyyy me to the Moooooon and let me play among the staaaars! Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. In other words: Hoooold my haaaand! In other words: Daaaarling kiss meeee! Fill my heart with songs and let me sing forevermooooreeee! You are all I long for, all I worship and adore. In other words: Pleeeeaaaaseeee beeee truuuu-ooh-ooh-uuuueeee... In other words: IIII love yoooouuuu! (Spoken) I love you! ❤️'
[12:45] *** Applause, the guests in the Restaurant demand a Da Capo.
[12:45] <Queen Bonnie> [Chiyoko's] Later, maybe, folks. But everybody deserves a chance to shine tonight.
[12:49] <D. Kakaku> /mw can be seen talking with Vermellia outside of the restaurant, it looks like he has no inclination to join, or that he's even aware of the party going on here, but rather, he is asking her about something important. (Sorry, I just have to fill in what he, or rather, the person whose soul inhabits his body now was doing at this time.
[12:49] * D. Kakaku *^
[12:51] *** Eventually, every member of the party-atending group had their take. After that, Minako prepares for her promosed Da Capo. And WHAT a Da Capo that is! She takes her shoes off, climbs on top of the table and starts dancing and singing: 'I! Am! What! I! Am! And what I am, needs no Excuses! Come on, Bonnie-san, I need another person for this part!'
[12:52] <Queen Bonnie> [Chiyoko's] Allright, but I need a little more 'courage' for this!
[12:52] *** She takes a big sip from whatever stands near her and joins Minako!
[12:52] *** To be continued (?)
[21:11] *** At the Baery
[21:11] *** *Bakery
[21:12] <D. Kakaku> What do you mean she hasn't finished her tests?
[21:15] <Marilyn> it's just as I said, she hasn't completed your world's equivalent of The Problem Solver test.
[21:15] <Marilyn> in fact... her most recently completed equivalent test was....
[21:15] * Marilyn checks the magic scroll.
[21:16] <Marilyn> The Flora Test.... oh dear.
[21:17] <Lola> For us, that test was... *Counts on her fingers*.... FIVE Tests ago!
[21:18] <D. Kakaku> Five tests until she reaches my level?!.
[21:18] * D. Kakaku falls onto the floor on her back
[21:18] <D. Kakaku> She's got a whole ton to learn... heh.... heh heh....
[21:19] <D. Kakaku> I hope they're not as tough for her as the Greenling ID Test was for us.
[21:34] <D. Kakaku> kinda wish I could help her out though.
[21:41] *** the deserts of New Mexico
[21:41] * May Sunrise-McCarthy sits in front of a campfire, shivering a bit and wrapping herself with a blanket

[19:35] *** The scene starts with an outside shot of one of the Hotel's libraries.
[19:36] *** Lots of people are inside, and the camera focuses on ONE librarian with long brown hair pushing a cart along.
[19:38] * The librarian goes into the back-stacks, where it's darker and much quieter.
[19:38] * The librarian puts a few books away.
[19:39] *** A few books float out of the shelves and silently reposition themselves.
[19:39] <The librarian> <__<
[19:39] <The librarian> >__>
[19:39] * The librarian confirms that she's all by herself, then moves on.
[19:41] * The librarian pauses at a desk and writes something down in a ledger, then picks up a checklist and keeps walking, going past a long row of card-catelog drawers.
[19:42] *** One of the drawers starts to pull out by itself!
[19:42] *** Another one slides open! Then another! And another!
[19:43] * The librarian senses something wrong and turns around.
[19:43] *** She sees index cards ERUPTING from the drawers, exploding everywhere and creating a giant mess!!!! ALL BY THEMSELVES!!
[19:43] <The librarian> AHHHH! AAAAAHHH!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
[19:44] * The librarian RUNS!
[19:44] <The librarian> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

[19:52] *** The scene switches to a new location. It looks like some prestigious academy filled with young teenagers dressed in British-like school uniforms.
[19:53] *** HEY! It's Mahora Academy of Negima fame!!!
[19:54] *** The camera then focuses on the front door of one of the research rooms. The sign next to the door reads "Paranormal Studies Laboratory".
[19:54] *** Dr. Javelin. Dr. Ayanami. Dr. Z-23
[19:55] * ~ Burned into the wall next to the nameplate is a completely different message: "NIMI, SINK AND BURN YOU STUPID SHIP-GIRL!!!!"

[19:58] <Z-23>
[19:59] * Z-23 is seated at a table with a large deck of cards and a bunch of scientific equipment in front of her.
[20:00] *** Seated across from her are none other than Negi Springfield AND Evangeline A.K. McDowell. Both of them look nervous and both of them have electrodes looked up to them.
[20:01] * Z-23 is holding up a card to Negi. On the side facing away from him is a star symbol.
[20:01] <Negi Springfield> Circle?
[20:02] <Z-23> ...It IS a circle! Good guess!
[20:02] * Z-23 draws another card, this time for Evangeline. "Now it's your turn. What symbol do you think it is?"
[20:03] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> Star?
[20:03] <Z-23> Good guess, but wrong.
[20:04] * Z-23 presses a button before her and ZAPS Evangeline with a low-level electric shock.
[20:04] *** The card WAS a star, by the way.
[20:04] *** Z-23 just never showed what was on it.
[20:07] * Z-23 readies Negi's next card. "Your turn now. Clear you mind and just envision it."
[20:08] <Negi Springfield> Figure 8?
[20:08] *** The card is actually a cross.
[20:08] <Z-23> ...Incredible. That's five for five! You can't see what's on it, can you?
[20:09] * Z-23 draws a card for Evangeline. "Now, just keep your mind calm and tell me what you think it is."
[20:10] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> Uhhhhhhh, square?
[20:10] *** The card actually IS a square!
[20:11] <Z-23> I'm sorry, but definitely wrong!
[20:11] * Z-23 reaches out and flicks that switch!
[20:13] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> UUuUUUuuUUUuUUuuUUUuuUUuUUUuuUU~!!! @___@
[20:13] * Evangeline A.K. McDowell 's hair suddenly POOFS like Hermione Granger's hair in the first Harry Potter movie.
[20:14] <Z-23> Nervous?
[20:14] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> Yes.
[20:14] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> I DON'T LIKE THIS!
[20:15] <Z-23> Don't worry. you've only got 75 more to go.
[20:15] <Z-23> Here, why don't you try again.
[20:15] * Z-23 draws another card.
[20:16] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> ...I don't know. Just a bunch of wavy lines?
[20:16] *** It IS just a bunch of wavy lines.
[20:17] <Z-23> I'm sorry, this isn't your lucky day!
[20:17] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> I know, but...
[20:18] * Z-23 reaches slowly for the switch.

[20:19] * Z-23 winks at Negi! >:D
[20:19] * Evangeline A.K. McDowell gets ZAPPED!!!!!
[20:19] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> HEY!!!!! I'm getting REALLY tired of this!!
[20:19] * Evangeline A.K. McDowell 's Scottish accent is REALLY coming out now.
[20:20] <Z-23> You volunteered, didn't you? We're paying you, aren't we?
[20:21] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> YES! But I didn't know you were going to be giving us electric shocks!!
[20:22] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> What are you trying to prove here, anyway?!
[20:23] <Z-23> We're studying the effect of negative reinforcement on ESP ability.
[20:23] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> Effect?! I'll tell you what the effect is!! IT'S PISSING ME OFF!!!!!!!
[20:24] * Evangeline A.K. McDowell rips the electrodes off of her forehead and wrist and storms towards the door!!!
[20:24] <Z-23> Well then maybe my theory is correct!!
[20:25] <Evangeline A.K. McDowell> YOU CAN KEEP THE FIVE QUID, I'VE HAD IT!!!
[20:25] <Z-23> I WILL, KID!!!
[20:25] *** Evangeline A.K. McDowell has left #suburbansenshi3 (DON'T CALL ME A KID!! I'M OVER 900 YEARS OLD!!!!)
[20:26] * Z-23 moves over to Negi. "You may as well get used to that."
[20:27] <Z-23> It's the kind of resentment that your ability is going to provoke.
[20:27] <Negi Springfield> Do you think I have it, Miss Nimi?
[20:27] <Z-23> You're no fluke, Negi.
[20:28] *** Suddenly, the door quickly opens and someone else rushes into the room.

[20:28] <Javelin> THIS IS IT! THIS IS DEFINITELY IT!!
[20:29] * Javelin rushes over to the equipment shelves and starts gathering things up.
[20:31] <Javelin> Did those UV lenses come in for the video camera? And the R-DVDs that had your whole Sailor Moon collection on them? You know, the ones we erased yesterday? We need those too
[20:32] <Z-23> o___O
[20:32] <Z-23> ................
[20:32] * Z-23 turns to Negi. "Could you excuse me for a minute?"
[20:32] * Z-23 gets up and goes over to where Javelin is.
[20:33] <Z-23> I'm right in...
[20:33] * Z-23 jumps up and SMACKS Javelin across the top of her head.
[20:33] <Z-23> ...MIDDLE of something, Javelin!!!!!
[20:34] <Z-23> I need a little more time with this subject. Can you come back in about an hour? Hour and a half?
[20:36] <Javelin> Nimi. A 1:40PM at the HOTEL library, TEN people witness a free-floating, full-torso, vaporous apparition!!
[20:36] <Javelin> It blew books off shelves from twenty feet away and scared the socks off some poor librarian!!
[20:37] <Z-23> I'm very excited. I'm very pleased. I want you to get right down there, check it out, and then get back here.
[20:37] <Javelin> Nonononono! You're coming with us on this one!
[20:38] <Javelin> Laffey went down there, took PKE valences, went right off the top of the scale! BURIED THE NEEDLE!!
[20:39] <Javelin> We're close on this one, I can feel it!
[20:39] * Javelin rushes off to a different room.
[20:39] <Z-23> ~___~
[20:40] <Z-23> I can feel it. We're very very close.
[20:40] * Z-23 goes back over to Negi and sits down next to him.
[20:40] <Z-23> I have to go now. But I'd like to work with you some more.
[20:41] <Z-23> Could you come back this evening at say...?
[20:41] <Negi Springfield> Eight o'clock?
[20:41] <Z-23> ...I was just about to say "Eight o'clock"! You are a legitimate phenomenon!
[20:42] *** The scene switches back to the library where it all began. Javelin and Z-23 are making their way up to the front entrance.
[20:47] <Z-23> As a friend I have to tell you I think you and Laffey are finally going crazy with this whole ghost hunting business.
[20:47] <Z-23> You two have been running around like crazy interviewing, meeting, and greeting every half-crazed nutso who claims they've ever had a paranormal experience.
[20:48] <Z-23> What have you seen?!
[20:48] <Javelin> Of course, you forget Nimi! I was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration!
[20:48] <Z-23> ...
[20:48] <Z-23> JAVE!!! THE SPONGES MIGRATED ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF!!!
[20:49] *** Inside the library, it's fairly busy. Sitting on the floor with a stethoscope, listening to something is THIS GIRL!!!!
[20:49] <Laffey>
[20:50] * Laffey is ASLEEP!!! As usual!! It looks like she fell asleep while trying to do something.
[20:51] * Z-23 quickly moves up to the table Laffey's sitting under.
[20:51] * Z-23 starts gently tapping on it with her hands.
[20:51] <Z-23> UUuuUUUuuUUUuUUUUuuuuUUUU~!
[20:51] <Laffey> o___o
[20:51] <Z-23> LAAAAAFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY~!
[20:52] * Z-23 picks up a nearby book and SLAMS it on the table!
[20:52] <Laffey> O___O
[20:52] * Laffey yawns
[20:52] <Laffey> Oh, you're here...
[20:52] <Laffey> This is big, this is very big, there's definitely something here.
[20:53] <Z-23> Heh, you know. This reminds me of the time we caught that Motoki guy and you tried to drill a hole through his head, remember that?
[20:54] <Laffey> That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.
[20:56] *** Suddenly, someone else hurries over, moving with amazing elegance and grace.

[20:57] <Sakuya Izayoi> Thank you for coming. I hope we can clear this up quickly and quietly.
[20:58] <Z-23> Let's not rush things. We don't even know what you have yet!
[20:58] *** The scene switches to a side room, where UMP-9 is laying on top of one of the tables.
[20:59] <UMP-9> I don't remember seeing any legs but it definitely had ARMS because it reached out for me!
[20:59] <Javelin> ARMS?! I can't wait to get a look at this thing!! :D
[21:00] <Z-23> Miss, I'm going to have to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay?
[21:00] <Z-23> Have you or a member of your family ever been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetent?
[21:05] <Javelin> My sister thinks she's the Norse God Loki?
[21:05] <Z-23> ...I'd call that a big yes.
[21:05] <UMP-9> ^
[21:05] <Z-23> Are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol?
[21:06] <UMP-9> No!
[21:06] <Z-23> That's fine. Just asking.
[21:07] <Z-23> Are you, Miss, menstruating right now?
[21:07] <Sakuya Izayoi> What does that got to do with it?
[21:07] * Z-23 turns to face Sakuya.
[21:07] <Z-23> - Back off, man! I'm a scientist! -
[21:07] * Laffey rushes into the room, holding something that looks like a hand-held geiger counter.
[21:08] * Laffey looks rather AWAKE now.
[21:08] <Laffey> Javelin! It's moving!
[21:12] *** Everyone starts heading deeper into the library. They go down some stairs into the inferior stacks of the building. The floor-to-ceiling shelves crowd around them and the hooded fluorescent overhead lights don't cast as much light as is needed to make the place seem less gloomy.
[21:12] * Laffey leads the way with the PKE detector.
[21:12] * Javelin follows closely behind with recording equipment.
[21:12] * Z-23 follows at the rear, looking like she'd rather be somewhere else.
[21:13] *** They turn down one of the aisles and approach a stack of books that's been set up in the middle of the floor, reaching all the way to the ceiling.
[21:14] <Laffey> O___O
[21:14] <Laffey> This is hot, Javelin.
[21:14] <Javelin> Symmetrical book stacking! Just like the Azur Lane Mass Base Disturbance of 2024.
[21:15] <Z-23> ...
[21:15] <Z-23> You're right. No human being would stack books like this.
[21:15] <Javelin> LISTEN!!!
[21:15] <Javelin> Do you smell something?
[21:16] *** Everyone keeps moving and soon arrives at the area with the card catalogue cabinets. The drawers are still open, the cards are all still scattered everywhere, but there are huge amounts of a clear gel splattered all over the place!
[21:23] <Javelin> Talk about telekinetic activity! Look at this mess!
[21:23] <Laffey> Javelin, look at this!
[21:24] <Javelin> O___O
[21:24] <Javelin> Ectoplasmic residue!!
[21:24] <Javelin> It's the real thing!!
[21:25] * Laffey pulls out a plastic dish. "Nimi! Get a sample of this!"
[21:25] <Z-23> Somebody blows their nose and you wanna keep it?
[21:25] <Laffey> We might be able to analyze it.
[21:26] <Javelin> There's more over here.
[21:27] <Laffey> I'm getting stronger readings over here.
[21:28] * Z-23 scraps some of the ooze into the dish, but gets some on her hand.
[21:28] <Z-23> AHHH!
[21:28] <Z-23> GAAAAAAAAAAH!!
[21:28] * Z-23 tries to flick it off but can't!
[21:28] <Z-23> >__<
[21:28] * Z-23 starts wiping her hand like crazy against the books on the shelves.
[21:31] * Z-23 catches with everyone.
[21:31] <Z-23> LAFFEY! Your mucus.
[21:32] * Z-23 hands the dish to Laffey.
[21:32] *** Suddenly, there's a loud SNAP and a long creak, and one of the bookshelves falls over!!! It nearly hits Z-23!!!
[21:32] <Laffey> O___O
[21:32] <Javelin> D:
[21:32] <Z-23> O___O
[21:33] <Z-23> ....This happened to you before?
[21:33] * Javelin and Laffey shake their heads.
[21:33] <Z-23> First time?
[21:33] * Javelin and Laffey both nod
[21:34] <Z-23> Oh. O___O;;
[21:36] * Laffey starts becoming WIDE AWAKE as she notices the PKE detector is detecting a strong signal. Something supernatural is very close by now!
[21:37] * Laffey heads down a few aisles with everyone else following closely.
[21:38] *** The PKE detector REALLY starts going off!
[21:38] * Laffey turns a corner and stops.
[21:38] <Laffey> O____O
[21:38] <Laffey> Ot
[21:38] <Laffey> It's here!
[21:39] * Z-23 and Javelin peek around the corner and see THIS hovering a short distance away!
[21:40] <Javelin> A FULL-BODY DIAPHENOUS APPARITION! And it's REAL!!!!
[21:40] <Javelin> :D
[21:40] <Laffey> :O
[21:40] *** Patchouli Knowledge has joined #suburbansenshi3
[21:40] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Patchouli Knowledge
[21:41] * Patchouli Knowledge is hovering around off the floor, sorting and skimming various books before putting them on the shelves.
[21:42] <Z-23> So, what do we do now?
[21:42] <Laffey> >__>
[21:42] <Javelin> <__<
[21:42] <Z-23> ...
[21:43] * Z-23 reaches out and closes her hand on Javelin's ear.
[21:43] * Z-23 starts pulling her aside. "Come here. Come over here."
[21:43] *** Everyone moves over to the next aisle.
[21:43] <Z-23> Come here, Frauline! NOW! What are we supposed to do?
[21:44] * Laffey pulls out her smartphone and starts trying to look something up.
[21:44] * Z-23 SMACKS it out of her hand! "STOP THAT!!!!!"
[21:45] <Javelin> We should try to make contact. One of us should try to actually talk to it.
[21:45] <Z-23> Okay, that's not a bad idea. Who'd you have in mind?
[21:45] * Javelin looks at Z-23
[21:45] * Laffey looks at Z-23
[21:45] <Z-23> ...
[21:46] <Z-23> >___<;;;
[21:47] * Z-23 goes back around the corner. Laffey and Javelin peek out from around the bookcase to watch closely.
[21:47] * Patchouli Knowledge glances up at Z-23 for a moment.
[21:47] <Z-23> Hi. I'm Nimi.
[21:48] <Z-23> Where are you from?
[21:48] <Z-23> Originally?
[21:48] <Patchouli Knowledge> SSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!
[21:48] * Patchouli Knowledge goes back to sorting the books.
[21:48] <Z-23> ...........
[21:48] * Z-23 goes back around the corner. "Got any other brilliant ideas?"
[21:49] <Javelin> I have a plan.
[21:49] <Javelin> I know EXACTLY what to do.
[21:49] *** All three girls come out from around the corner, bunching together.
[21:49] <Javelin> Now stay close!
[21:49] <Javelin> Stay together! Take it easy and move slowly.
[21:50] <Javelin> Do exactly as I say!
[21:50] <Patchouli Knowledge> <__<
[21:51] <Javelin> Get ready! Ready!
[21:51] <Javelin> ♦ GET HER!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:53] <Patchouli Knowledge> rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH~!!!
[21:54] * Patchouli Knowledge suddenly EXPLODES into magical energy as she activates her powers! Books by the dozens start flying off the shelves and proceed to start SHOOTING towards Z-23, Javelin, and Laffey with ballistic force!!!
[21:54] <Z-23, Javelin, and Laffey> ♦ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!!!!!!
[21:55] *** The next scene shows all three girls sprinting out of the library, howling and shrieking in blind terror.
[21:56] * Sakuya Izayoi rushes after them. "DID YOU SEE IT!?!? WHAT WAS IT?!?!"
[21:56] *** Javelin has left #suburbansenshi3 ("WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU!!!!!")
[21:56] *** Z-23 has left #suburbansenshi3 (DX)
[21:56] *** Laffey has left #suburbansenshi3 ( >O<)
[21:57] *** Sakuya Izayoi [PerfectandElegant Maid@EnclaveFedCom.Net (pirated)] has left #suburbansenshi3 ("..................What the heck just happened?!")
[21:57] * The Cheesykits Projector stops for the night!
[21:57] *** And PAUSE FOR THERE!!
[21:58] *** Tune in again next time for yet more of FLUFFBUSTERS!!!!
[13:06] *** in the Big City..
[13:06] * D. Kakaku is seen going around the Big City, attempting to help various people using magic.
[18:06] * Z-23 is laughing bitterly as she, Javelin, and Laffey walk through a stone-tiled park.
[18:06] <Z-23> Get her!!!
[18:06] <Z-23> That was your whole plan? "Get her"?
[18:07] <Javelin> I'm sorry, I just got over-excited!
[18:08] <Javelin> But wasn't it incredible? We actually touched the etheric plane!!
[18:09] <Javelin> You know what this could mean to the academy?!
[18:10] <Z-23> Yeah, it'll be bigger than Queen Elizabeth's brassier. Look, Javelin, I'm very excited.
[18:10] * Laffey walks up, still looking at her smartphone, like she's reading something from it (which she probably is).
[18:11] <Laffey> I wouldn't say the experience was wasted. According to these new readings, I think we have an excellent chance of actually catching a ghost and holding it indefinitely.
[18:13] <Javelin> This is great! If the iozination rate is constant for all ectoplasmic entities, we could really bust some heds!
[18:13] <Javelin> In a spiritual sense, of course.
[18:14] <Z-23> Laffey, are you serious about this business of catching ghosts?
[18:14] <Laffey> ...I'm always serious, Nimi.
[18:14] * Laffey says this while looking like she's half-asleep again.
[18:15] <Z-23> Laffey, I'm going to take back some of the things I said about you.
[18:17] * Z-23 pulls a small bottles of Dack Janiels whiskey out of her pocket and hands it to Laffey.
[18:17] <Z-23> You...you've earned it.
[18:18] * Laffey grabs the bottle and CHUGS it!
[18:19] *** The scene switches back to Mahora Academy, and Z-23, Javelin, and Laffey walk into their lab room.
[18:20] <Javelin> The possibilities are limitless! Oh...?
[18:21] *** There are a bunch of workers inside the room boxing up and moving equipment, all under the supervision of a tall, glasses-wearing man.
[18:21] <Javelin> Oh! Mister Takehata! What brings you here?
[18:21] * Mr. Takehata smiles rather ruefully.
[18:21] <Z-23> I take it we're being moved to better rooms on campus! ^___^
[18:22] <Mr. Takehata> No, you're being moved OFF campus. I heard the word earlier and I wanted to get to you before the Headmaster did.
[18:23] <Mr. Takehata> He decided to terminate your grant and he's ordering you to vacate the Academy immediately.
[18:24] <Javelin> D:
[18:24] <Laffey> :x
[18:24] <Z-23> This is preposterous. I demand an explanation.
[18:25] <Mr. Takehata> Fine. Mahora Academt will no longer continue any funding of any kind for your group's activities.
[18:26] <Javelin> But the girls all love us! D:
[18:27] *** The camera switches outside, to where DOZENS of Mahora Academy girls are throwing a spontaneous party celebrating the DEPARTURE of the Starter Squad!!
[18:28] *** Evangeline A.K. McDowell is cackling hysterically and someone's burning a Z-23 doll in effigy.
[18:29] <Mr. Takehata> "Doctors"...we belive the purpose of science is to help catalyze and stimulate the positive advancement of all humanity.
[18:31] <Mr. Takehata> You three, however, seem to regard science as some kind of dodge. Or hustle. Or an opportunity to engage in bizarre experiments on the girls here.
[18:32] <Mr. Takehata> Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are just downright ludicrous.
[18:33] <Mr. Takehata> You are a POOR scientist, Miss Z-23!
[18:33] <Z-23> D:
[18:33] <Mr Takehata> And you have no place in this department. Or this Academy.
[18:34] * Mr Takehata gets up and walks out.
[18:34] <Z-23> T__T
[18:34] <Javelin> We should go...
[18:35] * Laffey 's rabbit ears perk up as she hears something!
[18:36] * Laffey peeks out into the hallway outside and sees a BUNCH of Mahora Academy girls charging their way!!
[18:36] <~> THERE THEY ARE! GET 'EM!!!
[18:37] * Laffey grabs a fire extinguisher off the wall, pulls the pin, and FIRES it down the hall at the approaching girls!!!
[18:37] <Javelin> Let's get out of here while they're distracted!
[18:39] * Javelin grabs Z-23 and starts running with her in the OPPOSITE direction while Laffey empties the fire extinguisher!
[18:41] *** The scene switches to a new location! This time it's a plaza in downtown Akihabara. Javelin is peeling parts of cabbage off of her outfit while Z-23 is wiping off pieces of tomatoes.
[18:41] *** Laffey, on the other hand, is eating the vegetable bits that were stuck on her.
[18:43] <Javelin> This is a major disgrace. Forget Oxford now. Blazes, forget Amazon's class now!
[18:43] <Javelin> She wouldn't touch us with a ten-meter cattleprod. Except if it was fired by a gauss cannon, that is.
[18:46] <Z-23> You're always so concerned about your reputation. Einstein did his best stuff when he was working as a patent clerk.
[18:49] <Javelin> Do you know what a patent clerk earns?!
[18:50] <Javelin> Personally I liked Mahora Academy! They gave us money and facilites. We didn't have to produce anything!
[18:50] <Javelin> You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there. I've work in the private sector.
[18:50] <Javelin> They expect RESULTS.
[18:51] * Z-23 takes a deep breath.
[18:51] <Z-23> For whatever reasons, Jave. Call it fate, call it luck, call it karma...
[18:52] <Z-23> Call it the Will of the Vater, I believe that everything happens for a reason.
[18:52] <Z-23> I believe that we were destined to get thrown out of that dump Mahora.
[18:53] <Javelin> For what purpose?
[18:53] <Z-23> To go into business for ourselves!
[18:54] * Javelin thinks for a moment.
[18:55] <Javelin> This ecto-containment system that Laffey and I have in mind is going to require a MOUNTAIN of quid to capitalize. Where are we going to get the money?
[18:56] <Z-23> I don't know! I don't know!
[18:56] * Z-23 looks super-happy though. Like she's scheming something.
[18:59] *** The scene switches once again, and the three girls are now hurrying out of a store being run by THIS GIRL!!!!!!
[19:01] <Javelin> D:
[19:01] <Z-23> You're never going to regret this, Javelin!
[19:03] <Javelin> Queen Elizabeth GAVE me my Rig herself! Belfast was the one who taught me how to use and modify it! D:
[19:03] *** Yes, Javelin PAWNED her Rig to Akashi.
[19:08] <Z-23> You're not going to lose it, Javelin. EVERYONE has a triple-mortgage on their Rig nowadays.
[19:08] <Javelin> But at 19% you didn't even bargain with her!
[19:09] * Laffey is reading from her smartphone again.
[19:09] <Laffey> Javelin, for your information the interest rate for the first five years alone comes to $95000.
[19:10] <Z-23> Will you two relax? We are on the threshold of establishing THE indispensable defense science of the next decade!
[19:10] <Z-23> Professional paranormal investigations and eliminations!
[19:11] <Z-23> The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams!!
[19:14] *** The scene switches yet again! This time, everyone is at a narrow, three story building that used to be a small fire station. Wait...WAIT...Is that THE PLACE??!?!
[19:17] * Laffey is wandering around downstairs with Z-23 and THIS GIRL!!!
[19:17] * is apparently the real estate agent for this flick.
[19:19] <@spiritflame> ATTENTION: Mikasa is already registered. Check your password or enter a new name.
[19:20] <~Mikasa> There's office space, sleeping quarters, and showers up on the next floor, and there's a full kitchen on the top level.
[19:20] <Z-23> It just seems a little pricey for a place that looks like it's been destroyed by Roon, that's all.
[19:21] <Z-23> What do you think, Laffey?
[19:21] <Laffey> I think this place should be condemned.
[19:21] * Laffey reads off of her phone again.
[19:22] <Laffey> There's serious metal fatigue in all of the load-bearing members. The wiring is substandard, it's completely inadequate for our power needs.
[19:23] <Laffey> And the neighborhood is like a combination of a demilitarized zone and a wildlife refuge with all of the Forest Kits that are rampaging through the block.
[19:24] * Laffey and Z-23 have meanwhile moved over to where an old-fashioned firepole is located.
[19:24] <Javelin> HEY! DOES THIS POLE STILL WORK?!
[19:24] * Laffey and Z-23 look up to see Javelin at the entrance hole of the pole.
[19:25] * Javelin grabs it and slides down!
[19:25] <Javelin> Wow!!
[19:25] <Javelin> This place is GREAT! When can we move in?
[19:25] <Javelin> You've gotta try this pole!
[19:25] <Z-23> ...
[19:26] <Javelin> I'm going to get my stuff!
[19:26] * Javelin starts to hurry off, but pauses.
[19:26] <Javelin> Hey! We should stay here! Tonight! To try it out!
[19:26] <-Mikasa> >:D
[19:27] *** Javelin has left #suburbansenshi3 ( "I can't wait to see what we can do with this place!")
[19:27] *** Laffey has left #suburbansenshi3 (*leaves to help Javelin. *)
[19:27] *** Z-23 has left #suburbansenshi3 ("I think we'll take it.")
[19:27] *** ~Mikasa has left #suburbansenshi3 ("Good!" :D)
[19:28] *** And that's all the time we have for tonight's episode of Fluffbusters!
[19:28] *** Tune in next time for even more hilarity! And good night!
[20:55] * D. Kakaku looks at her wandaler, only two spell drops left.
[20:59] <D. Kakaku> two more left.
[21:00] * D. Kakaku spots someone on a bicycle, stuck in traffic, with Pizza.
[21:02] * D. Kakaku twirls it around.
[21:03] <D. Kakaku> ♦ Make sure there's no Traffic light, Make that Pizza Delivery bike take flight.
[21:04] <Deliveryman> Eh? Woha, Ahhh!
[21:05] * Deliveryman 's bicycle lifts into the sky.
[21:07] <Deliveryman> AHHH, the Pepperoni and sausage pizzas!
[21:07] <Deliveryman> good thing we have those small table holders on them.
[21:08] <D. Kakaku> Whoever's doing this, Thank you!
[21:08] <Deliveryman> huh? HEY!
[21:08] <Deliveryman> Are you the one doing this?
[21:08] <D. Kakaku> o____o
[21:09] <Deliveryman> You's right, thank you, got to get to 20th street apartments!
[21:10] * D. Kakaku looks at the CertiSphere holder.
[21:12] * D. Kakaku looks as it glows and the final one now appears.
[21:14] <D. Kakaku> whew...
[21:19] * D. Kakaku hops onto her broom
[21:19] <D. Kakaku> c'mon, bakery time!
[21:19] * D. Kakaku floats off towards the bakery.
[14:01] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up.
[14:03] * The Cheesykits Logo appears!!
[14:04] *** Fluffbusters resumes! And it's the start of the Fluffbusters extravaganza!!!!!!!
[14:05] *** The scene shows a high-rise apartment complex decorated with gargoyles that look like monstrous multi-tailed foxes and cats, and topped with a spikey roof superstructure.
[14:06] * Chibi-AnTil starts walking to the front entrance of the building, carrying a few bags of groceries.
[14:06] <Chibi-AnTil> ^___^
[14:06] * Chibi-AnTil makes his way upstairs to his apartment.
[14:07] * Chibi-AnTil steps out of the elevator and heads down the hall. Suddenly, one of the doors opens as he passes it.
[14:08] *** Konata Izumi has joined #suburbansenshi3
[14:08] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Konata Izumi
[14:09] * Konata Izumi is AnTil's neighbor!! And she's still as youthful and petite as ever.
[14:10] <Konata Izumi> Oh, hey there, neighbor! I was hoping it was the post-folks bringing me my medication.
[14:11] <Chibi-AnTil> Oh> Are you feeling sick?
[14:13] <Konata Izumi> Nah, I'm okay. I was just stocking up on my sleep aids. You know how late I stay up with my LAN parties and podcasts. It's hard being a full-time playtester.
[14:14] <Konata Izumi> I was just doing some more playtesting on Project Zomboid and helping with the Week One mod and trying to figure out how to trigger the nuclear strike but for some reason it's not happening when it's supposed to.
[14:16] <Konata Izumi> Then there's the new alternate skin mod for Space Marine 2 that replaces the Cadians with Helldivers. I wanna get that fully installed for the LAN party later this week. It's gonna kick ass!
[14:16] <Konata Izumi> You wanna come in for a Monster or something?
[14:16] <Chibi-AnTil> I'd really like to, Konata, but I've gotta get to work myself soon, so...
[14:17] * Chibi-AnTil starts heading down the hall, and Konata follows him eagerly.
[14:17] <Konata Izumi> No sweat! I'll take a rain-check on that. You know I've always got energy drinks on hand whenever you like, but you already know that.
[14:18] <Chibi-AnTil> Yeah. I know that.
[14:22] * Konata Izumi holds AnTil's groceries while he works at the door to his apartment.
[14:24] <Konata Izumi> Hey, that LAN party is going to happen this Friday and I've got all of my friends coming over. I know you're not "officially" part of my friend group, but you're welcome to join us being that you're my neighbor.
[14:24] <Chibi-AnTil> Well, thank you. I'll see what I can do about Friday.
[14:25] <Konata Izumi> Oh! That reminds me. You shouldn't leave your TV on so loud when you go out. That dumbass "Karen" next to me called the manager to complain.
[14:25] * Chibi-AnTil finishes opening his front door and, yes, the TV is on.
[14:25] <Chibi-AnTil> That's strange, I don't remember leaving it on.
[14:27] <Konata Izumi> You know what I did? I tried to climb out onto the ledge to disconnect it, but I couldn't get out on it. So I turned up my TV real loud too to make everyone think there's something wrong with the whole cable system...
[14:27] <Chibi-AnTil> Good bye, Konata.
[14:27] * Chibi-AnTil closes the door.
[14:28] <Konata Izumi> ...
[14:28] <Konata Izumi> :<
[14:28] <Konata Izumi> OKAY! I'LL SEE YOU LATER THEN!
[14:28] <Konata Izumi> I'M GONNA HAVE A SHOWER!
[14:28] * Konata Izumi walks to her own door.
[14:28] <Konata Izumi> :3
[14:28] * Konata Izumi realizes it's LOCKED.
[14:28] <Konata Izumi> :(
[14:29] * Chibi-AnTil looks at the TV, noticing the commercial that's playing. HEY!! IT'S JAVELIN, LAFFEY, AND Z-23!
[14:30] <Javelin> ♦ Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?
[14:30] <Laffey> ♦ Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?
[14:33] <Z-23> ♦ Have you or your family ever seen a spooky spirit-animal, specter, kitsune-bi, youkai, or ghost?
[14:33] <Javelin> ♦ If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute. Pick up the phone and call the professionals!
[14:33] <All> ♦ FLUFFBUSTERS!
[14:36] <Javelin> ♦ Our courteous and efficient staff is ready twenty-four hours a day to serve all your supernatural elimination needs!
[14:36] <ALL> ♦ WE'RE READY TO BELIEVE YOU!!!
[14:36] * Chibi-AnTil turns off the TV and heads towards the kitchen
[14:38] * Chibi-AnTil puts the grocery bags on the counter and starts taking things out. It's typical stuff: eggs, marshmallows, milk, bread, and so on.
[14:39] * Chibi-AnTil starts putting boxes of pasta away.
[14:39] *** The camera zooms in on the eggs.
[14:40] *** A translucent force in the shape of a quadrupedal animal suddenly hops up on the counter and begins pawing at the carton of eggs.
[14:41] *** The translucent form resolves further. It's a SPIRIT FOX!!!
[14:41] * Chibi-AnTil is unaware.
[14:42] * The spirit-fox pops open the egg carton!
[14:42] *** More spirit-foxes appear!
[14:42] *** They start sniffing at and nibbling experimentally on the eggs!
[14:43] * Chibi-AnTil hears a loud crack! Then another!
[14:43] * Chibi-AnTil turns and sees one of the eggs just BURST in front of his eyes on its own! (He doesn't see anything else in the room with him.)
[14:44] * Chibi-AnTil watches the insides of the eggs just start churning and splattering everywhere!!
[14:44] <Chibi-AnTil> D:
[14:45] *** The bag of marshmallows is violently torn open and marshmallows are scattered everywhere.
[14:45] * The spirit-foxes are FEASTING!! :D :D :3 :3 :D :3
[14:46] * Chibi-AnTil hears something GROWL nearby.
[14:46] <Chibi-AnTil> O__O
[14:46] *** It's coming from the refrigerator.
[14:46] * Chibi-AnTil slowly turns to the refrigerator and goes to it.
[14:46] *** The growling continues.
[14:46] * Chibi-AnTil carefully opens it.
[14:46] <The spirit-foxes> :D :D :D :D :D :D
[14:48] *** Inside the refrigerator is NOT shelves and perishables! Inside is a scene that looks like an ancient Japanese-style cottage, located in a field of roiling clouds and distant lightning flashes.
[14:49] *** Sitting on the porch is a HUGE creature with NINE long, massive tails and something on its head that looks like a twin-eared hat!!!
[14:49] *** It sits up and fixes him with dark, piercing eyes!!
[14:50] <~> ♦ ZUUL~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:50] * Chibi-AnTil freaks out and RUNS~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:51] *** The scene switches back to a CERTAIN firehouse! The place looks cleaner, and a big sign with the words "FLUFFBUSTERS" printed on it is being placed over the main doors.
[14:52] <Z-23> Hey, are you sure that's visible enough? People aren't going to drive down and not see it?
[14:54] * Z-23 sees an old-fashioned Hearse drive up and park nearby. WOW! It's an actual 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance/hearse!!!!
[14:54] * Z-23 is about to object, but recognizes who's driving it.
[14:55] <Javelin> Okay! Everyone can relax! I found a car!
[14:55] <Javelin> Needs some suspension work.
[14:56] <Javelin> And shocks.
[14:56] <Javelin> And brakes.
[14:56] <Javelin> And brake pads. Linings. Steering box. Transmission. Rear end.
[14:57] <Z-23> How much?
[14:57] <Javelin> Only $4800
[14:57] <Z-23> D:
[14:58] <Javelin> Maybe new rings. Also mufflers. A little wiring.
[14:58] <Z-23> D:
[15:01] *** The scene moves inside the office area of the firehouse, where THIS GIRL!!! is seated behind the desk, playing with her plushie.
[15:02] *** Unicorn has joined #suburbansenshi3
[15:02] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Unicorn
[15:02] <Unicorn> ^_____^
[15:02] * Z-23 walks past, looking a little tense.
[15:02] <Z-23> Unicorn, any calls?
[15:03] <Unicorn> No.
[15:03] <Z-23> Any messages?
[15:03] <Unicorn> No.
[15:03] <Z-23> ..Any customers?
[15:03] * Unicorn turns to look at Z-23. "No, Miss Nimi."
[15:03] <Z-23> ...Fabulous job, ja?
[15:04] <Unicorn> ^___________^
[15:04] <Z-23> Type something, will you? We're paying for that computer equipment.
[15:05] * Z-23 starts to walk away. "And that plushie thing unsettles me. I always feel like it's watching me."
[15:05] <Unicorn> :P
[15:05] <Z-23> Unicorn...sorry about the plushie remark. I'll be at my desk.
[15:05] * Z-23 goes into a different room. As she goes, Laffey rolls out from underneath Unicorn's desk. Suddenly, the computer monitor flickers on.
[15:06] <Unicorn> Thank you!
[15:06] * Laffey gives Unicorn a thumbs-up.
[15:06] <Unicorn> You're really good at this. You must read a lot.
[15:06] <Laffey> Too tired to read much. I always fall asleep.
[15:08] <Unicorn> I try to read a lot too! Her majesty thinks I read and play around too much but I think it's a great way to make myself become an even better Lady. I also like to skate a lot too.
[15:08] <Unicorn> Do you have any hobbies? :D
[15:09] <Laffey> I sleep and drink a lot of Dack Janiels.
[15:15] *** Downstairs, Javelin is leaning over the exposed engine of the Hearse and is getting utterly saturated with oil in the process.
[15:16] *** Then someone else comes inside!
[15:16] *** Chibi-AnTil [WellManneredFoxBoy@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[15:16] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Chibi-AnTil
[15:16] * Chibi-AnTil walks past and goes upstairs to the office.
[15:17] <Chibi-AnTil> Hello, this is the Fluffbusters office, isn't it?
[15:17] <Unicorn> Yes, it is! Can I help you?
[15:17] <Chibi-AnTil> I don't have an appointment, but I'd like to talk to someone...
[15:18] *** something gets knocked over in the back and there's the sound of someone running towards them both.
[15:18] * Z-23 JUMPS over a divider and skids to a halt in front of Chibi-AnTil.
[15:19] <Z-23> GUTEN! I'm Z-23! May I help you? :D
[15:19] <Chibi-AnTil> Uh...well. I hope so.
[15:20] <Chibi-AnTil> I don't know. What I have to say may sound a little unusual.
[15:20] <Z-23> Oh, that's all we get, day-in day-out around here.
[15:20] <Unicorn> ::shifteyes
[15:20] <Unicorn> ¬_¬
[15:21] <Z-23> Come into my office, Mister...?
[15:21] <Chibi-AnTil> AnTilZha. AnTilZha Langister.
[15:22] *** The scene switches again, and now Chibi-AnTil is sitting in a chair with electrodes attached to the sides of his head. Various scientific and medical measuring equipment is on several tables around him, and Javelin and Laffey are there too
[15:23] <Chibi-AnTil> ...And this voice said "Zuul". And then I slammed the refrigerator door and I left. That was two days ago and I haven't been back to my apartment.
[15:24] <Z-23> ...Generally you don't see that kind of behavior from a major appliance. What do you think it was?
[15:27] <Chibi-AnTil> If I knew what it was, I wouldn't be here!
[15:27] <Z-23> Laffey, what do you think?
[15:28] * Laffey turns to Z-23. She's wearing a medical light headband and it immediately shines directly in Z-23's face.
[15:28] <Laffey> He's telling the truth. Or at least he thinks he is.
[15:28] <Z-23> >___<l;;;
[15:28] <Chibi-AnTil> Of course I'm telling the truth! Who would make up a story like this?
[15:29] <Z-23> Some people just want attention. Others are just nutballs who come in off the street.
[15:30] <Javelin> You know what it could be? Past-life experience intruding on present time.
[15:32] <Laffey> It could be erased memory stored in the collective unconscious. I wouldn't rule out clairvoyance or telepathic contact either.
[15:32] * Laffey trails off a little as she starts admiring Chibi-AnTil's tails. o___o
[15:33] <Chibi-AnTil> I'm sorry, I don't believe in any of those things.
[15:33] <Z-23> That's okay.
[15:33] * Z-23 rushes over to sit beside Chibi-AnTil. "I don't either!"
[15:33] <Z-23> :D
[15:35] <Z-23> But there are some things, standard procedures, in a case like that do get us results.
[15:36] <Javelin> Well, I could go to the Hall of Records and check out the structural details of the building. Maybe the building itself has a history of psychic turbulence.
[15:36] * Z-23 nods eagerly.
[15:37] <Laffey> I could look for the name "Zuul" in the usual literature.
[15:37] <Javelin> Spate's Catalogue.
[15:37] <Laffey> Tobin's Spirit Guide
[15:39] <Z-23> Tell you what. I'll take Chibi-AnTil back to his apartment and check him out.
[15:40] <Laffey> o__O
[15:40] <Javelin> :O
[15:40] <Chibi-AnTil> <___<
[15:41] <Z-23> I MEAN I'LL GO CHECK OUT CHIBI-ANTIL'S APARTMENT! Shall we?
[15:41] <Chibi-AnTil> Oookay...
[15:42] *** The scene switches back to the apartment complex. Chibi-AnTil and Z-23 are outside his apartment, preparing to go in. Meanwhile, Konata is watching them both from her doorway.
[15:44] * Z-23 SHOVES open the door dramatically, looking as serious as possible (which, if you've ever seen Azur Lane, is about 95% of the time).
[15:44] <Z-23> Let me go first. If anything's going to happen, I want it to happen to me first.
[15:45] * Z-23 starts to look around, with Chibi-AnTil staying near the doorway as he closes the door behind him.
[15:45] * Z-23 SHOVES the door next to him open.
[15:46] <Chibi-AnTil> <__<
[15:46] <Chibi-AnTil> That's the closet.
[15:46] * Z-23 moves into the living room, up next to a piano and starts rapidly tapping on the keys.
[15:46] <Z-23> They hate this.
[15:47] * Z-23 taps more.
[15:47] <Z-23> I like to torture them.
[15:47] <Z-23> That's right, geists! IT'S NIMI OF EISENBLUT!!!
[15:48] <Chibi-AnTil> O___O
[15:49] * Z-23 has a device with her that consists of a long, hand-held nozzle attached to a strap-worn box-like device with a squeeze-pump in her other hand. She starts squeezing away with what LOOKS like some kind of air sampling device and waves it around the room.
[15:49] <Chibi-AnTil> What is that you're doing?
[15:49] <Z-23> ...It's technical. It's one of our little toys. ^___^
[15:50] <Chibi-AnTil> Okaaaaaaaay.
[15:51] <Chibi-AnTil> Lots of space. Just you?
[15:51] <Z-23> ^
[15:51] <Chibi-AnTil> Yes.
[15:51] <Z-23> Gut! :D
[15:51] <Chibi-AnTil> You know, you don't act like a scientist.
[15:56] <Z-23> They're usually super-stiff.
[15:56] <Chibi-AnTil> You're more like a teenager pretending to be a scientist.
[15:57] <Z-23> >__>;
[15:57] <Z-23> <__<;
[15:57] <Z-23> Let's check out the kitchen, shall we?
[15:57] * Z-23 moves over to the kitchen and dramatically pushes the door open.
[15:58] * Chibi-AnTil turns the lights on. Everything is STILL a mess, with congealed egg residue splattered everywhere and all the marshmallows gone.
[15:58] <Z-23> Are these the eggs?
[15:59] <Chibi-AnTil> Yes! I was putting things up in the cabinets and those eggs just broke open on their own and started scrabling themselves!
[15:59] <Z-23> That IS weird.
[15:59] <Chibi-AnTil> Then I started to hear that awful noise coming from the refrigerator!
[16:00] * Z-23 is busy inspecting the mess. A lot of the egg mess is just GONE, as are most of the other foods.
[16:01] <Z-23> Total seltsam. Es sieht so aus, als wären diese eier von innen aufgeplatzt!
[16:02] <Chibi-AnTil> Miss Z-23, you've come all this way. Would you like to check the refrigerator?
[16:03] <Z-23> ...I'll check the fridge.
[16:04] * Z-23 goes over to the refrigerator and stands beside it, pushing open the door a crack.
[16:04] <Z-23> Oh mein Gott!!
[16:04] * Z-23 pushes the door open completely, REVEALING...!!!
[16:04] *** A completely normal refrigerator interior.
[16:04] <Z-23> LOOK AT ALL THE DISGUSTING "MODERN" FAD FOOD!!!
[16:09] <Chibi-AnTil> WHAT?! NO! THIS WASN'T HERE!
[16:10] * Z-23 reaches in and pulls out a package of "Impossible Burger" with a disgusted look on her face.
[16:10] <Z-23> NEIN! You cannot eat this! It has more chemicals in it than dog food, and that stuff's officially declared "Unfit for Human Consumption"!
[16:12] <Chibi-AnTil> Look, there was nothing here! There was a space! And there was a building or something! And there were these creatures writhing around and they were barking and yipping and howling!
[16:12] <Chibi-AnTil> And there were flames! And I heard a voice say "Zuul"!
[16:13] <Chibi-AnTil> And it was right here!
[16:13] <Z-23> I'm sorry, but I'm not getting any readings.
[16:14] <Chibi-AnTil> Well are you sure you're using that thing correctly?
[16:14] <Z-23> I THINK so! But I'm sure there are no animals in there.
[16:14] <Chibi-AnTil> Well that's great. Either I have a monster in my kitchen or I'm completely crazy.
[16:14] <Z-23> I don't think you're crazy. :D
[16:15] <Chibi-AnTil> That makes me feel so much better. >__<;;
[16:15] * Chibi-AnTil storms out into the living room.
[16:15] * Z-23 follows him.
[16:16] <Z-23> Let me tell you about myself. I come home from work to my place, and all I have is my work. There's nothing else in my life.
[16:17] <Z-23> I meet you, and I say "Mein Gott, there's someone else with the same problem I have!"
[16:17] <Chibi-AnTil> Yes, we both have the same problem: You. >:(
[16:18] * Z-23 sighs deeply and sadly.
[16:18] <Z-23> All right. I'm going to go All Ahead Flank here.
[16:18] <Z-23> I am madly in love with you! :D
[16:19] <Chibi-AnTil> I don't believe this. Will you please go before it gets any more awkward?
[16:19] <Z-23> T___T
[16:20] <Z-23> And then he shipped me off to sea...he thought I was a creep. He thought I was too high intensity and he probably wasn't the first.
[16:20] * Z-23 starts heading towards the door.
[16:21] <Chibi-AnTil> ...You are so STRANGE.
[16:21] * Z-23 stops at the door and suddenly turns around with a big grin on her face.
[16:21] <Z-23> I'VE GOT IT!
[16:21] <Z-23> I'll PROVE myself to you!
[16:22] <Chibi-AnTil> Not necessary. ^__^;
[16:22] <Z-23> I'll SOLVE your ghost problem!
[16:22] <Z-23> And then you'll say "Z-23 of Eisenblut is the girl who can get things done!"
[16:22] * Chibi-AnTil starts guiding Z-23 to the door.
[16:23] <Z-23> "I wonder what drives her to be so exceptional?"
[16:23] <Chibi-AnTil> I wonder!
[16:23] <Z-23> "I wonder if she'd be interested in making everything in my life be exceptional too?"
[16:24] <Chibi-AnTil> Right!
[16:24] * Chibi-AnTil has got the front door open now!
[16:24] <Z-23> I bet you'll be thinking about me after I'm gone!
[16:24] <Z-23> :D
[16:24] <Chibi-AnTil> I bet I am! ^___^;
[16:32] * Chibi-AnTil starts to close the door, but Z-23 props it open.
[16:32] <Z-23> NO KISS?!
[16:32] * Chibi-AnTil pushes her out the door and closes it.
[16:33] * Konata Izumi is watching everything and tries to duck back into her own apartment...BUT FINDS OUT SHE LOCKED HERSELF OUT AGAIN!
[16:33] <Konata Izumi> >__<;;;
[16:47] *** PAUSE HERE FOR NOW.
[06:53] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:01] *** The scene switches back to Fluffbusters HQ! Z-23, Javelin, and Laffey are sitting at the table eating Chinese food.
[07:02] <Z-23> To our first customer! ^____^
[07:02] <Javelin> To our first and ONLY customer. :/
[07:02] <Z-23> I should take out some petty cash to treat him to dinner or something. We can't afford to lose him.
[07:03] * Javelin motions to the Chinese food. Laffey is just INHALING the noodles.
[07:03] <Javelin> This magnificent feast here represents the LAST of the petty cash. ~___~;
[07:04] * Z-23 looks at Laffey as she devours the last bits of vegetable-fried noodles. "Slow down! Save some for the rest of us."
[07:05] * Unicorn downstairs, playing with her plushie when the phone rings.
[07:05] * Unicorn quickly answers it. "Hello, Fluffbusters!"
[07:05] <Unicorn> ...Yes, they are really serious.
[07:05] <Unicorn> ...You do?
[07:06] <Unicorn> ...YOU HAVE?!
[07:06] * Unicorn quickly starts writing some things down. "You're not joshing us?"
[07:07] <Unicorn> Oh, OH YES!! They'll be totally discreet!! Thank you!
[07:07] * Unicorn puts down the phone and stands up.
[07:07] <Unicorn> ♦ WE'VE GOT ONE!!!!!!
[07:07] * Unicorn HITS THE ALARM!!!
[07:08] *** Upstairs, Z-23, Javelin, and Laffey all freeze as the firehouse bell starts ringing stridently.
[07:08] <Javelin> ...IT'S A CALL!!!!!
[07:09] * Javelin BOLTS for the firemen's pole and jumps onto it, laughing as she slides down to the first floor.
[07:10] * Z-23 follows down next. O___O
[07:10] * Laffey comes last, carrying a box of rice in her teeth.
[07:16] *** They all rush to the lockers and begin grabbing their gear and rushing over to the newly-refurbished Hearse. Oh crap! They've done it! THEY'VE DONE IT!!!
[07:17] *** The vehicle doors open, and THIS VEHICLE tears out of the firehouse!!!
[07:17] <~>
[07:18] <~License Plate> ♦ Fluffy One
[07:19] * ~Fluffy One tears through the streets at high speed, its sirens emitting an obnoxiously loud sound as it weaves through traffic and finally arrives at a spectacular mansion where it looks like a huge party of some kind is preparing to get underway.
[07:21] *** Oh hey! They must still be near Mahora Academy, because that's Ayaka Yukihiro's parent's home!!! Yes, the self-proclaimed queen of Class 2-A is stinking rich.
[07:22] * Z-23 , Javelin, and Laffey barge through the front doors, wearing huge power-pack backpacks, jumpsuits, and scientific gear.
[07:22] <Z-23> ACHTUNG! Has anyone seen a fuch-geist?!
[07:23] * Laffey is looking around at all the well-dressed people! Most of them are students from the Academy, but there are some adults too.
[07:24] * Ayaka Yukihiro HERSELF quickly rushes over.
[07:24] <Ayaka Yukihiro> THANK YOU FOR COMING OVER SO QUICKLY~!
[07:25] * Ayaka Yukihiro is browtwitching like crazy since she remembers just WHO these three are and what happened at the school.
[07:26] <Ayaka Yukihiro> All of my guests are starting to ask questions and I'm almost out of excuses.
[07:26] <Javelin> Has this happened before?
[07:27] <Ayaka Yukihiro> Well, everyone knows about the "High Strangeness" that happens at the Academy, but it's always mostly stayed at the Academy.
[07:28] <Ayaka Yukihiro> It sometimes happens at other places though, but it's never, ever been THIS BAD!!
[07:28] <Javelin> Have you tried telling anyone about it before now?
[07:29] <Ayaka Yukihiro> Absolutely not! My parents don't even like me TALKING about it with the maids and staff here at home!
[07:29] <Ayaka Yukihiro> I just hope you can get this cleared up quickly and quietly.
[07:30] <Ayaka Yukihiro> TONIGHT! Today's my birthday and I've invited most of the Academy here!
[07:31] *** Wow! Almost the entire cast of "Negima!" is here! And quite a few others, too! OH CRAP, is that Darkness over there trying to look inconspicuous?!
[07:32] <Z-23> Don't worry! We handle this kind of thing all the time!
[07:33] * Z-23 , Javelin, and Laffey go over to the elevator (yes, there's an elevator at this mansion) and press the call button.
[07:36] * Negi Springfield is standing nearby.
[07:36] <Negi Springfield> Excuse me, but are you cosplayers of some kind?
[07:36] <Javelin> Oh no, we're exterminators. Ayaka saw a c[BLEEP]kroach up on the top floor.
[07:37] <Negi Springfield> O__o;
[07:37] <Negi Springfield> That must be a banger of a roach up there!
[07:37] <Z-23> The kind that can jump down your throat and explode out your chest! >:D
[07:38] *** The elevator arrives and the door opens.
[07:38] * The girls hurry inside.
[07:38] <Laffey> Coming up?
[07:38] <Negi Springfield> No thank you! I'm fine down here! ^___^;;;;
[07:39] * Z-23 , Javelin, and Laffey stand idly as the elevator starts to rise.
[07:40] <Javelin> It just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test with this equipment.
[07:40] <Z-23> I blame myself.
[07:40] <Laffey> I blame you, too.
[07:41] <Javelin> No sense worrying about it now.
[07:41] <Z-23> Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on her back.
[07:42] <Javelin> Switch me on.
[07:43] * Laffey pulls down a lever on the side of Javelin's backpack...then pushes herself behind Z-23 to shield herself as Javelin's power-pack starts making a continuous whining sound.
[07:44] *** The elevator doors open. The girls move into a hallway that looks like it could have been taken straight out of a high-class hotel.
[07:45] * Laffey and Javelin pull out what look like rifles from cradles attached to the sides of their power-packs. The rifles are indeed connected by cables to the power-packs.
[07:47] * Laffey and Javelin scan the hall carefully, while Z-23 looks oddly calm for once.
[07:48] *** Something's squeaking further down the hall behind them all!
[07:49] *** Darkness and YunYun (from Konosuba!!!!!!!) come around a corner, pushing a maid cart loaded with towels and linens, and YES they're both dressed up as maids!
[07:49] * Javelin and Laffey spin around to face them and FIRE!!!!!!!!!
[07:50] *** Their weapons fire continuous, seemingly-liquid streams of brightly-colored energy that impact against anything they strike with spectacular explosive force!!!! In this case, the maid cart just DISINTEGRATES in an epic display of pyrotechnics.
[07:52] * YES! That Nikke-girl Neon was personally involved in almost ALL of the pyrotechnics of this movie!!
[07:53] *** Darkness is physically blown into the wall by the explosion and YunYun is knocked to the floor. The towels all burst into flames and rolls of ignited toilet paper are hurled everywhere!!!
[07:53] <> Ooooowwwwwwwwww~!!!!
[07:53] <~Darkness> ^
[07:54] <YunYun> ..What the HELL are you DOING?!?!?!?!?
[07:54] <Laffey> Sorry!
[07:55] <Z-23> We're sorry. We thought you were someone else.
[07:58] * The girls turn away from the scene of destruction as YunYun starts trying to put out the flames and Darkness just lays there, drooling.
[07:58] <Z-23> ...Successful test.
[07:58] <Javelin> I'll say. <__<;
[07:58] <Laffey> We should split up.
[07:59] <Z-23> Ja, we can do more damage that way.
[07:59] * Z-23 walks down one hall.
[08:00] * Javelin goes down another.
[08:00] * Laffey carefully moves past Darkness and YunYun and heads down THAT hall.
[08:02] * Javelin goes around a corner and sees...
[08:02] *** Yuyuko Saigyouji has joined #suburbansenshi3
[08:02] <@spiritflame> ohayo Yuyuko Saigyouji
[08:03] * Yuyuko Saigyouji is CONSUMING MASS QUANTITIES from a buffet table that was set up in a small private party room.
[08:04] <Javelin> O____O
[08:04] * Javelin just STARES at Yuyuko!
[08:04] <Javelin> Disgusting!! She eats like that yet has a figure like THAT?!?!?!?
[08:05] <Javelin> Her body is right up there with Belfast's! Or even Bismarck's!
[08:05] <Javelin> - Unforgiveable! -
[08:05] * Javelin looks around and realizes she's alone!
[08:06] <Javelin> I'll have to hold her myself!
[08:06] * Javelin readies her proton streamer and FIRES!!!
[08:08] *** The baked chicken wings, the chips, the fresh salsa, and the pizza all detonate EXPLOSIVELY as the proton-stream impacts with them, along with the entire table itself AND part of the wall!!!!
[08:08] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> O____o;;;;;
[08:09] * Yuyuko Saigyouji gets the FUGOUT of there and shoots down the hallway AWAY from this CRAZY TEENY-BOPPER!!!!
[08:10] * Yuyuko Saigyouji phases through a couple of walls and slows to a halt as she sees...
[08:10] <Z-23> ...!!!
[08:10] <Z-23> ...
[08:10] * Z-23 slowly takes out her radio.
[08:10] <Z-23> Come in, Jave...
[08:10] <Javelin> ♦ Nimi! I saw her, I saw her, I saw her!!!
[08:11] <Z-23> She's right here, Jave.
[08:11] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> >:[
[08:11] <Z-23> She's LOOKING at me!! o___O;
[08:13] <Javelin> ♦ She's a disgusting big-booby harlot, isn't she? Just look at how she's dressed with her cleavage practically exploding out!!
[08:13] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> [size=24]>:[[/url]
[08:14] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> >:[
[08:14] <Z-23> ...I think she can hear you.
[08:14] <Javelin> ♦ Don't move! She won't hurt you!
[08:15] * Z-23 sees Yuyuko start to charge right at her, looking PISSED OFF!!!
[08:15] <Z-23> Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
[08:15] <Z-23> AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
[08:16] * Javelin starts charging down the hall at full speed!!
[08:16] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> >:D
[08:17] <Z-23> - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH~!!! >__<;;;;; -
[08:17] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> >:D
[08:17] <Javelin> NIMI!! NIMI~!!!!!!!
[08:18] * Javelin rushes around a corner to find...!!!!
[08:19] *** Z-23 is laying on the ground, flailing and sputtering. She's COMPLETELY drenched in what looks like clear, slimy liquid that's now covering every inch of her body. It looks like even the inside of her CLOTHES got saturated.
[08:19] <Z-23> AaaAHHAhaahahaahAHHAHHAAAAAhAAHHHgggggh!!!!
[08:20] <Javelin> What happened?! Are you okay!?!?!?
[08:20] <Z-23> SHE SLIMED ME!!!!
[08:20] <Javelin> THAT'S GREAT! ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTACT!!!! Can you move??!?!?
[08:21] <Darkness (off-camera)> Nooooo! It should have been ME!! Not her!!! It should have been meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!!!!!
[08:22] <Laffey (radio)> ♦ Jave! Nimi! Come in!
[08:22] <Javelin> Laffey! I'm with Nimi! She got slimed!!! :D
[08:23] <Laffey (radio)> ♦ Ewwww. Bath time for her later.
[08:24] <Laffey (radio)> ♦ Get down to the first floor. It just went into a ballroom!
[08:25] *** The scene switches to the ground floor. Everyone's now outside the double doors leading into a richly-appointed ballroom that looks like it could easily seat a hundred or so guests.
[08:26] * Laffey and Javelin are talking to Ayaka Yukihiro while Z-23 is standing inside the ballroom, twitching and shuddering as she's trying (in vain) to scoop and scrape off the ectoplasm plastered all over her.
[08:27] <Javelin > Now, if you can just keep everyone outside of here, we'll take care of the rest.
[08:27] * Ayaka Yukihiro watches in dismay as the three girls close the double-doors.
[08:28] *** CLICK!! Locked now.
[08:28] <Ayaka Yukihiro> ...I've got a really bad feeling about this.
[08:28] * Laffey points up at the ceiling.
[08:29] * Yuyuko Saigyouji is hovering near the ceiling, orbiting a LARGE, ornate chandelier as she scans the entire room. It's set up for a MASSIVE birthday party!
[08:29] <Z-23> ...That's the one that got me.
[08:31] * Javelin takes aim at Yuyuko.
[08:31] <Javelin> All right, girls. THROW IT!!!
[08:31] *** All three of them open fire at Yuyuko!!
[08:32] * Ayaka Yukihiro JUMPS as she hears a huge explosion come from inside the ballroom, followed almost immediately by the distinct sounds of something huge crashing into splintering wood.
[08:33] <Javelin> D:
[08:33] <Laffey> <__<;
[08:34] *** They missed Yuyuko completely and hit the chandelier instead, shattering it instantly and causing it to fall down onto one of the tables, breaking it beyond repair.
[08:34] <Javelin> I did that! I did that! That's my fault!
[08:35] <Z-23> ...That's all right. The table broke the fall. >__<;;;
[08:36] <Laffey> There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
[08:36] <Laffey> Don't cross the streams.
[08:36] <Javelin> Why?
[08:36] <Laffey> It would be bad.
[08:37] <Z-23> I for one would like some genuine clarification here. What do you mean "bad"?
[08:37] * Laffey pulls out her smartphone to read her lines again. "Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."
[08:38] <Javelin> Ooooo! Total protonic reversal! D:
[08:38] <Z-23> Ja, that's bad. Important safety regulation. Danke, Laffey.
[08:39] *** They see that Yuyuko's at the big buffet table. THERE'S A GIGANTIC BIRTHDAY CAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT!!
[08:40] *** And Yuyuko's gobbling her way towards it!! She's already guzzled down an entire 2-liter bottle of A&W root beer so far!
[08:41] <Z-23> Jave, go left. Laffey, you take the right.
[08:42] * Yuyuko Saigyouji looks up at them.
[08:42] <Z-23> NOW!
[08:43] * Javelin fires at Yuyuko, the blast sending her scrambling to get away from the wanton destruction as the proton-stream annihilates HALF of the buffet table on impact!!!
[08:44] <Z-23> Laffey!!
[08:45] * Laffey starts shooting! >:(
[08:45] *** The cake explodes like Mount Saint Helens!!!!!!
[08:47] *** The rest of the buffet table is equally demolished, like it just got used as target practice for a TANK!!!!
[08:48] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> @___@
[08:48] * Yuyuko Saigyouji is flung across the room by the blast and falls behind a bar.
[08:48] * Laffey takes aim at the bad next and FIRES! >:D
[08:51] *** The bar just DETONATES like several packs of plastic explosives were planted inside of it.
[08:51] * Yuyuko Saigyouji is flung up into the air by the explosion!
[08:53] * Laffey just KEEPS FIRING!! She's waving her proton-beamer like it's a Silly-String Shooter of pure ANNIHILATION!! Up, down, back and forth, everything she's hitting with it is just erupting into flames and fury!!
[08:53] <Laffey> >:D
[08:53] <Laffey> >:D
[08:54] <Z-23> Whoa-WHOA-[size=16]WHOA[size]-[size=20]WHOA[size]-[size=24]WHOA[size]!!!!
[08:55] <Z-23> Whoa-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA!!!!
[08:55] * Laffey finally stops. O____O
[08:56] <Z-23> NICE SHOOTING, TEX!!!!! >___<;
[08:57] *** PAUSE HERE FOR NOW SINCE THE SYSTEM IS STARTING TO DO MORE THAN LAG.
[08:58] *** In fact, it's starting to skip text. So we'll pick up things tomorrow, and hopefully things will have cleared up by then.
[08:58] *** See you all next time!
[07:24] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:26] *** The scene starts right back where everything left off: in the ballroom of Ayaka Yukihiro's home! Or rather, outside of it.
[07:27] * Ayaka Yukihiro looks like she's about to freak out as almost everyone from Class 2-A is now there.
[07:28] <Ayaka Yukihiro> Nonono! There's nothing wrong with the room! We'll get started with the party just as soon as the last of the guests are here with us! I just want to give them the opportunity to get here, that's all.
[07:28] *** Back inside the ballroom....
[07:29] <Javelin> I'm going to put down the trap! Give me some room to put down the trap!
[07:30] * Z-23 and Laffey turn to the nearest of the party tables and take hold of it. NO, they don't move it out of the way. They pick it up and FLIP it aside!!
[07:31] * Ayaka Yukihiro shudders and cringes as she hears the distinctive sounds of something crashing into the ground combined with glass shattering!
[07:32] <Ayaka Yukihiro> Somebody get the damn keys to that door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:33] * Z-23 and Laffey toss aside yet another table.
[07:36] * Z-23 stops at one of the tables. They're all covered with fine tablecloths, with plates and cutlery already set up and a variety of decorative pots with fresh flowers in the middle.
[07:36] <Z-23> Wait! Wait! I've ALWAYS wanted to do this!
[07:38] * Laffey watches as Z-23 takes hold of an edge of the tablecloth.
[07:38] <Z-23> Annnd~!
[07:38] * Z-23 YANKS the tablecloth!!!
[07:39] *** The glassware falls over (some of it breaks), the silverware goes flying, and the only thing that remains upright is the flowerpot.
[07:39] <Z-23> Die blumen stehen noch!!!! :D
[07:40] * Yuyuko Saigyouji is still up near the overhead chandelier, looking like her bells got RUNG. @___@
[07:41] * Javelin rolls a small rectangular box device on small wheels out onto the floor. It has several ofuda attached to it.
[07:41] <Javelin> Nimi! I need a containment stream from you. GO!
[07:42] * Z-23 zaps Yuyuko with a constant blast from her proton-streamer.
[07:43] * Yuyuko Saigyouji snaps out of her daze as a proton stream wraps around her, making her feel the equivalent of an electric current roll through her. She does NOT like the experience!
[07:43] * Yuyuko Saigyouji flails and slaps at the stream latched onto her, but can't get it off of her!
[07:44] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> D:<
[07:44] <Javelin> Laffey! Go!
[07:44] * Laffey zaps Yuyuko! >:x
[07:46] * Yuyuko Saigyouji starts flailing even more! She's NOT liking this!
[07:46] <Yuyuko Saigyouji> DX
[07:46] <Z-23> JA! LET'S SEE YOU SLIME A GIRL WITH A POSITRON COLLIDER, JA?! >:D
[07:47] <Laffey> Nimi! Shorten your stream! I don't wanna get my face melted off!
[07:48] <Javelin> I'M OPENING THE TRAP! DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE TRAP!
[07:48] * Javelin stomps on a pedal control attached to the box device by a cable. The twin panel-doors on the device pop open and a strange, lurid white light bursts out!
[07:49] <Laffey> O___O
[07:49] <Laffey> I LOOKED AT THE TRAP, JAVELIN! O____O
[07:49] <Javelin> START LOWERING HER TOWARDS THE TRAP!
[07:50] <Javelin> CAREFUL! DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!
[07:51] * Z-23 and Laffey have pulled Yuyuko down to just a few yards over the trap.
[07:52] <Javelin> KEEP HER STEADY! SHUT OFF YOUR STREAMS AS SOON AS I CLOSE THE TRAP. GET READY!
[07:52] <Javelin> GET READY!
[07:52] <Javelin> CLOSING IT!!!!!
[07:52] * Javelin stomps the trigger again!
[07:53] * Laffey and Z-23 immediately release the triggers of their proton streamer and dives to the ground!
[07:54] *** The trap engages, and huge spray of light erupts upwards, catching Yuyuko directly! A moment later it starts to retract back into the trap, pulling Yuyuko down with it!
[07:54] *** Yuyuko Saigyouji has left #suburbansenshi3 (FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!!!!)
[07:55] *** The trap snaps shut!
[07:55] <Z-23> >___<
[07:55] <Z-23> >___o
[07:55] <Z-23> o___o
[07:55] * Javelin and Laffey move in closer to inspect the trap.
[07:56] *** The trap crackles occasionally with faint whisps of blue electricity, and a light on the side of it starts blinking, but it seems to NOT be vibrating or threatening to melt or anything.
[07:57] <Laffey> ...She's in there!
[07:57] <Javelin> Heh!
[07:57] <Javelin> Now that wasn't such a chore, now was it? :D
[07:57] <Z-23> ¬_¬
[07:58] <Laffey> ¬_¬
[08:01] *** Meanwhile, outside the room.
[08:01] * Ayaka Yukihiro watches as some of the household security staff hurry over.
[08:01] <Ayaka Yukihiro> Hurry! I want that door open now!
[08:02] *** Suddenly, the doors burst open and Z-23, Laffey, and Javelin start to come out.
[08:02] <Z-23> We came! We saw! WE KICKED HER ASS!!!! :D
[08:03] <Ayaka Yukihiro> You saw it?! What is it?!
[08:03] * Javelin comes over, holding up the trap (which is now giving off a truly foul-smelling smoke).
[08:03] <Javelin> WE GOT HER!!!!!!!!
[08:04] <Ayaka Yukihiro> OH GODS! Will there be any more of them?!
[08:05] <Javelin> Now, what you had was what we refer to as a Classic, Non-terminal Repeating Phantasm, or a Class-5 Gluttonous Big-Titty Demon! Real nasty one, too!!
[08:06] <Z-23> Now, let's talk business. Now, for the entrapment, we're going to have to ask you for four Big-Ones, four thousand dollars.
[08:07] <Z-23> But we are having a special this week on Proton Charging, in storage of the beast, and that's only going to come to one thousand dollars fortunately.
[08:08] <Ayaka Yukihiro> FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?! I had no idea it would be this much. I won't pay it.
[08:09] <Z-23> Das ist in ordnung! We can put her right back in there, can't we Javelin?
[08:09] <Javelin> Of yes we can, my dear Nimi! >:D
[08:09] * Javelin starts to walk back into the ballroom.
[08:10] <Ayaka Yukihiro> No, no no no no no no NO!!!!!! STOP!
[08:10] <Ayaka Yukihiro> Anything!!!
[08:10] * Z-23 grins as she gives Ayaka the bill. "Pleasure doing business with you!" ^_____________^
[08:13] *** They all start rushing back towards Fluffy One.
[08:14] <Javelin> Step aside, please! Step aside, please! One Class-5 Big-Titty Demon coming through!!
[08:16] *** PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!
[04:59] *** Later today: The Senshi & friends have gathered in a DIFFERENT restaurant than usual (until the staff at Chiyoko's have fully restocked) to celebrate another Birthday, that of Makoto Kino. (The Outers & Hotaru aren't available and/or won't come, though)
[05:03] <Merc_Nezu> [Room 1006] Ami leads the !BLINDFOLDED 😊! Mako-chan into the separated corner where everybody else has already taken place at a reserved table with preordered food (ncluding cake) & beverages..
[05:04] * Merc_Nezu has moved to: [ Somewhere else ]
[05:05] <Merc_Nezu> (( This above was meant to be DM text LOL ))
[05:06] <Merc_Nezu> [Somewhere else] Soo, Mako-chan, another step to the right here, carefully...
[05:09] *** Teh, she proceeds to remove the blindfold while everyone prepares to shout 'SURPRISE!', but once the thing is off, the first thing Makoto spots is some random guy at another table who prompts her to lament:
[05:09] <Merc_Nezu> [Somewhere else]
[05:11] *** ...causing everybody to grunt and sweatdrop 😅
[05:12] <Merc_Nezu> [Somewhere else] The action's over here, Makoto. Happy Birthday!
[05:14] *** All: 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!' *Applause* Mako is very touched and does the 'hand-behind-her-head' thing.
[05:19] *** The presents are presented (pun not intended), among them a new pair of boxing gloves and small bits of jewelry. Then she starts cutting the BIG cake (of course she didn't bake this one herself, it's, like, her free day) and splits it up for the guests
[05:20] * Queen Bonnie has moved to: [ Somewhere else ]
[05:21] * Queen Bonnie [Somewhere else] clings her spoon onto her glass
[05:24] <Queen Bonnie> [Somewhere else] Allright, Ladies and Gentlemen. Today,we celebrate the last of us gaining another ring for this year. Let's make the best out of it and the upcoming one, too. Cheers!
[05:24] *** Eveyrbody raises their glasses: 'KAMPAIIII!'
[06:10] <Queen Bonnie> [Somewhere else] So, and now, you know what comes next. Oil your cords, fix your hairs and get ready to hit the spotlight!
[06:12] *** The bowl with the Lottery tickets goes around, and first to sing today is Minako. And her song is...
[06:17] *** 'Zaaaankooooku na tenshi no you ni shoooo-u-neeeen yo shinwa ni naaaareeee! [...]'
[06:22] *** *Applause*
[06:22] <Queen Bonnie> [Somewhere else] I'm next, it seems!
[06:22] <Queen Bonnie> [Somewhere else] *clears throat*
[06:24] <Queen Bonnie> [Somewhere else] ♫ Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful. And since we've nowhere to go... ♫
[06:24] *** Everyone: 'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!'
[06:27] *** Next in line is her Hubby:
[06:28] * Rob A. has moved to: [ Somewhere else ]
[06:28] <Rob A.> [Somewhere else] ♫ Stop! In the name of Love! Before you break my heart! ♫
[06:33] *** To be continued
[06:33] * Rob A. is away: Offline Break
[06:33] * Queen Bonnie is away
[06:34] * Merc_Nezu is away
[11:00] *** Continuation: Usagi & Mamoru have a cute duet of 'All I Want For Christmas', Rei sings 'Diamonds Are Forever' and the Birthday Child does a hearty version of: 'Kaze mo furueru HEAPIN KAABU / kowaimono kato GOO GOO GOO / HOWAITO BODEI MAHHA-gou / makejidamashii oyayuzuri / hashiri das[BLEEP]tara ato ni wa hikenu / yukuzo shouri no GOORU made / MAHHA GOO GOO / MAHHA GOO GOO / MAHHA GOOGOO GOO...!'
[11:02] <Queen Bonnie> (( LOL unintended swearing? ))
[11:07] * Karami has moved to: [ Somewhere else ]
[11:09] *** They wanted to make sure she would get an easy one, one that's not about Death, Warfare and Suffering 😉
[11:16] <Karami> [Somewhere else] ♫ I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night and still have begged for more! I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things I've never done before. I'll never know what made it so exciting Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when he began to dance with me, I could have danced, danced, danced all night [...]! ♫
[11:18] *** She green-blushes as she would see such songs as rather 'childish' or 'embarassing' 😓
[11:23] *** Eventually, Makoto herself takes her chance to make an Announcement: 'This was a lovely Afternoon. Thank you all so much for lifting up my spirit in this cold and dark time of the year which can also get a little lonesome and depressing. Let's see forward to the next year!'
[11:24] *** Everybody applaudes and then, the Main Dish of the Day is getting brought in...
[11:25] * Karami is away
[11:25] * Queen Bonnie is away
[07:33] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:38] * Chibi-AnTil is in his living room, watching the TV, when a breaking news report starts to come on.
[07:39] <> ♦ Good morning, I'm Aya with the Bunbunmaru News. Today the entire city is alive with reports of incidents of paranormal activity.
[07:40] <Aya Shameimaru> ^
[07:40] <Aya Shameimaru> ♦ Alleged ghost sightings and supernatural activity is being reported throughout the entire district.
[07:43] *** Hatate Himekaidou has joined #suburbansenshi3
[07:43] <@spiritflame> ohayo Hatate Himekaidou
[07:44] <Hatate Himekaidou> ♦ Sure is, Aya. I specialize in those sorts of things and I can confirm that all of those ghost stories are grounded in fact!
[07:46] <Hatate Himekaidou> ♦ I've got multiple eye-witness accounts and photographs of rampaging Kitsune-Bi all over the place. Spirit-foxes have been spotted by the hundreds just appearing and disappearing at will.
[07:47] *** Suddenly, you hear alarm bells ring, and three guesses who's getting dressed and getting ready to head out to deal with it alll?!
[07:48] <~> If there's something strange! In your neighborhood? Who you gonna call?
[07:48] <~> ♫ FLUFFBUSTERS!!! ♫
[07:48] <~> ♫ If there's Kitsune-Bi...orbiting your food! Who you gonna call? ♫
[07:49] <~> ♫ FLUFFBUSTERS!! ♫
[07:50] *** Fluffy One tears through the streets, heading towards its next call. OH GOD, LAFFEY'S DRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:54] *** It looks like they're responding to a roadside dining shack. No wait, it's Mystia Lorelei's traveling kitchen!! It's being swarmed by dozens of Foxfires (Kitsune-Bi)!!!
[07:54] <~> ♫ If you've got a fox...clamping on your head! Who can you call? ♫
[07:55] <~> ♫ FLUFFBUSTERS!!! ♫
[07:55] <~> ♫ An invisible Floof...sleepin' in your bed! Who you gonna call? ♫
[07:55] <~> ♫ FLUFFBUSTERS!!! ♫
[07:58] *** The next scene shows Javelin and Laffey gathering up multiple ghost-traps while Z-23 is getting pelted with roasted ducks that have been completely burnt to a crisp!!! Mystic is FURIOUS now that her stand has been blown to pieces!!!
[08:01] <Reimu Hakurei> ♦ Radio-Miko here. The phone-in topic: Fluffs and Fluffbusters. The controversy builds. Shrine attendance is down. Mikos aren't being called upon to ward off spirit activity nearly as much now. Some maintain that these "professional paranormal eliminators" are the cause of it all.
[08:02] *** The scene switches to show the Fluffbusters responding to another call!
[08:06] *** They've arrived at a bar where Suika Ibuki (the Loli-Oni herself!) is drinking down her TWELFTH keg of beer and has been challenging everyone to drinking contests. There's literally a pile of comatose patrons nearby.
[08:07] <~> ♫ I ain't 'fraid of no Floof. ♫
[08:08] *** The scene switches. Laffey is standing triumphantly atop Suika. *____*
[08:09] * Suika Ibuki is now plastered with multiple ofuda-stickers and Z-23 is getting a ghost-trap ready.
[08:14] <Kagerou Imaizumi> ♦ Kagerou Imaizumi here with additional updates on the Fluffbusters.
[08:16] <Kagerou Imaizumi> ♦ The girls have been busy, this time hitting one of Tokyo's most fashionable nightclubs!
[08:18] *** The scene shows the Fluffbusters rushing into a rapidly clearing-OUT nightclub where three young girls dressed in colorful clothes are trying to play with the musical equipment of the DJ and apparently NOT doing a very good job of it. OH HEY, IT'S THE PRISMRIVER SISTERS!!!!!
[08:18] * Javelin grins fiendishly as she gets three ghost-traps ready!
[08:20] <Kagerou Imaizumi> ♦ The girls slugged it out with some pretty pesky poltergeists with ZERO musical ability, then stayed on to party on with all of the grateful club-patrons afterward!
[08:21] * Z-23 addresses the papparazi! "Twenty-four hours a day! Seven days a week! No job is too big! NO FEE IS TOO BIG!!"
[08:21] *** Close up of Reimu Hakurei in the crowd, looking PISSED.
[08:25] *** The scene switches, and Javelin is actually being interviewed! By MDR of the T-Dolls!
[08:28] <MDR> ♦ I've finally managed to corner one of you and there's a burning question everyone on the Extranet is dying to have you girls answer.
[08:28] <MDR> ♦ How IS Steve Irwin, and have you seen him lately?
[08:30] *** The next scene shows all three girls FINALLY getting some sleep.
[08:30] * Laffey is dreaming.
[08:30] * Laffey opens her eyes in the dream and looks around. She's alone in her bedroom back at the Azur Lane base and looks around.
[08:33] * Laffey sees that she's got THIS GIRL hovering directly over her! And the room's lit by dozens of Foxfires!
[08:33] * Shinano vanishes!
[08:33] <Laffey> >___>
[08:33] <Laffey> <___<
[08:34] <Laffey> O____O
[08:34] * Laffey sees teeny vulpine forms start to crawl underneath the bedsheets towards her.
[08:35] * Laffey feels unseen fluffy tails start to lay atop her!
[08:36] * Laffey shudders as a spectral Fox appears next to her head and watches as it starts to position itself right on her scalp!
[08:36] <Laffey> :D
[08:36] <Laffey> :D
[08:36] <Laffey> :D
[08:37] * Laffey then rolls out of bed in real life and falls to the floor, waking up instantly on impact.
[08:37] *** Finally, the musical montage ends with a tired-looking Unicorn sitting at her desk, talking.
[08:40] <Unicorn> Do you believe in UFOs, astral projection, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness Monster, the Church of the Madoka, and the theory of Gensokyo?
[08:41] <Ayanami>
[08:41] <Ayanami> ...If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.
[08:44] *** PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!
[07:25] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up
[07:41] *** The movie continues! Javelin and Z-23 stumble past the office area, looking exhausted.
[07:42] <Javelin> Oooooooooohh jeez. All of these spirit-foxes are killing me. They're EVERYWHERE!!
[07:45] <Z-23> You don't look so good.
[07:45] <Javelin> You look better! You didn't used to look this good.
[07:45] <Javelin> >:D
[07:45] <Z-23> :P
[07:46] * Z-23 and Javelin see Unicorn with Ayanami.
[07:46] <Unicorn> This is Ayanami. She came about the job offer.
[07:46] <Javelin> Great! You're hired! :D
[07:50] <Javelin> Doctor Javelin here! That's Doctor Nimi.
[07:50] * Javelin hands Ayanami a bunch of smoldering ghost-traps, all of which are shuddering and twitching.
[07:50] <Javelin> ♫ Welcome aboard! ♫
[07:53] * Unicorn hands Z-23 a sheet of paper. "Here's tonight's work list."
[07:54] <Z-23> Oh great, two more spirit-fox dens.
[07:54] <Z-23> What is drawing those things here?!
[07:55] * Javelin takes Ayanami downstairs into the basement, where there's a room taken up almost entirely by a massive concrete block in which multiple technological devices are imbedded. The block is dominated by a fold-down contraption.
[07:56] <Javelin> This is where we store all the various vapors, floofers, and slimers that we trap.
[07:56] <Javelin> Very simple really. Loaded trap here.
[07:57] * Javelin pulls down the door of the contraption. "Open. Unlock the system."
[07:57] <Javelin> Insert the trap. Close. Lock the system.
[07:57] *** A green indicator light on the wall turns red.
[07:58] <Ayanami> o___o
[07:58] <Javelin> Set your entry grid.
[07:58] * Javelin presses a few buttons on a nearby keypad.
[08:00] <Javelin> Neutronize your field and....
[08:00] * Javelin pulls a lever on the front of the machine. Suddenly there's a THUD sound from the other side.
[08:00] *** The indicator light turns green.
[08:01] <Javelin> Light is green, the trap is clean. The entity is now incarcerated in our custom-made storage facility.
[08:01] *** Meanwhile, back upstairs...
[08:01] * Unicorn is glowering at Z-23, holding her plushie up in front of her face.
[08:02] <Z-23> ...Is there a problem, Unicorn?
[08:02] <Unicorn> There's someone from the EPA waiting in your office?
[08:02] <Z-23> EPA? What do they want?
[08:03] <Unicorn> I don't know. All I do know is that I've been working nonstop and you promised me you'd hire more help.
[08:05] <Z-23> ...Uni, I don't think Belfast, Sheffield, or any of the other girls of the Royal Maid Corps would be complaining. Especially since they work TWICE as hard trying to keep up with the demands and attitude of that flat-chested whiny little girl you call a Queen.
[08:05] <Unicorn> >:(
[08:06] *** The phone starts ringing.
[08:06] <Z-23> You gonna get that?
[08:07] * Z-23 heads off to her office, and Unicorn goes over to her desk, which is decorated with plushies of Javelin, Laffey, and Z-23!
[08:07] * Unicorn cackles as she has her unicorn plushie start trampling on plushie-Nimi!!1
[08:07] <Unicorn> >:D
[08:07] * Unicorn answers the phone.
[08:08] <Unicorn (Cockney accent)> FLUFFBUSTERS! WHADYA WANT?!?! >:(
[08:08] * Z-23 enters her office to see...
[08:09] *** HK-416 has joined #suburbansenshi3
[08:09] <@spiritflame> ohayo HK-416
[08:09] <Z-23> Guten?
[08:10] <HK-416> I'm HK-416. I represent the city branch of the environmental protection agency.
[08:10] <Z-23> How are you doing! ^___^
[08:10] * Z-23 pats HK-416, smearing ectoplasm on her shoulder in the process.
[08:10] <HK-416> ¬_¬
[08:11] <HK-416> Are you Z-23?
[08:11] <Z-23> I'm DOCTOR Z-23.
[08:12] <HK-416> And exactly what are you a doctor of?
[08:12] <Z-23> Well, I have online PHD's in parapsychology and psychology.
[08:13] <HK-416> I see.
[08:13] <HK-416> And now. You catch ghosts.
[08:14] <Z-23> Oh yes, we do. There's no shortage of youkai and kitsune-bi in this town.
[08:15] <HK-416> And how many ghosts have you caught, Miss Z-23?
[08:15] <Z-23> Quite a few.
[08:16] <HK-416> And where do you put these ghosts once you catch them?
[08:16] <Z-23> Into a storage facility.
[08:16] <HK-416> And would that storage facility be located on these premises?
[08:16] <Z-23> Yes.
[08:17] <HK-416> And may I SEE this storage facility?
[08:17] <Z-23> No.
[08:17] <HK-416> And why not, Miss Z-23?
[08:18] <Z-23> Because you did not use the Magic Word!
[08:19] <HK-416> >:/
[08:19] <HK-416> And what is the Magic Word, Miss Z-23?
[08:19] <Z-23> ...Bitte!!!
[08:21] * HK-416 browtwitches as she smiles.
[08:23] <HK-416> May I see the storage facility BITTE? >:D
[08:23] <Z-23> Why do you want to see the storage facility?
[08:24] <HK-416> Because I'm curious.
[08:25] <HK-416> I want to know more about what you do here! Frankly, there's a lot of crazy theories spreading about your group and I want to assess any possible danger to the public.
[08:25] <HK-416> Like the presence of noxious, possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement.
[08:25] <HK-416> Now you either show me this storage facility, or I'll return here with a court order.
[08:26] <Z-23> You go get a court order! And I'll sue your funny face for wrongful prosecution!
[08:26] <HK-416> You can have it your way, Miss Z-23! >:D
[08:27] *** Meanwhile, back downstairs Laffey, Javelin, and Ayanami are taking a break,
[08:28] <Laffey> I'm worried, Javelin. It's getting crowded inside the containment-thingie and all of the sensor-things say there's something big on the horizon.
[08:29] <Ayanami> What do you mean?
[08:29] * Javelin is opening up a packages of Twinkies.
[08:29] * Laffey takes one of them.
[08:30] <Laffey> Let's say...this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the city. According to this morning's readings it would be a Twinkie...
[08:31] <Laffey> Thirty-five feet long weighing approximately SIX HUNDRED pounds.
[08:31] <Ayanami> That's a big Twinkie.
[08:32] * Laffey nods and just POWER-LUNCHES the Twinkie by shoving it whole into her mouth (WITHOUT smashing it at all) and devouring it entirely.
[08:33] <Javelin> o___O
[08:33] *** From behind the wall, there's a bunch of faint scratching and barely-discernable voices chanting.
[08:34] <~> Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie!
[08:35] <Javelin> We could be on the verge of a four-fold crossrip! A PKE surge of incredible, even dangerous proportions!!
[08:35] * Z-23 comes downstairs, looking frazzled.
[08:36] <Z-23> We just had a visit from the environmental protection agency, and it was none other than a German T-Doll so we're really going to be in for a headache. How's the grid holding up.
[08:36] <Laffey> Not good.
[08:37] <Ayanami> Tell her about the Twinkie.
[08:38] <Z-23> >__>;
[08:38] <Z-23> What about the Twinkie??!!
[08:38] *** AND PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!
[08:38] *** We'll pick up again tomorrow for yet more hijinks. Be sure to tune in!
[07:27] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:31] *** The scene starts with Chibi-AnTil and...WAIT!! It's UMP-9 herself walking alongside him!!
[07:33] <Chibi-AnTil> Look, I know he's a visiting dignitary, but I don't think he has any legal standing to start screaming at us all just because he wanted to make some kind of political statement.
[07:34] <UMP-9> I know. Everything is political now and everyone wants to be the "Next Big Voice" when it comes to it all.
[07:35] * UMP-9 and Chibi-AnTil are both walking out of the main office of the Griffin & Kryuger mercenary company!
[07:36] * Chibi-AnTil looks around and notices...
[07:36] *** Z-23 has joined #suburbansenshi3
[07:36] <@spiritflame> ohayo Z-23
[07:37] * Z-23 is across the street, prancing and dancing like she doesn't have a care in the world.
[07:37] <Chibi-AnTil> Could you excuse me?
[07:37] * Chibi-AnTil starts to walk over.
[07:37] <Chibi-AnTil> Doctor Z-23! This is a surprise!
[07:38] <Z-23> Hello there! I'm sorry I haven't been able to get back to you sooner but we've been BURIED in work lately!
[07:38] <Chibi-AnTil> I know! You're all big celebrities now.
[07:40] <Z-23> I saw you out there on the parade field earlier. I didn't know you're a junior officer in the JSDF working with the G&K company.
[07:41] <Chibi-AnTil> Just a reservist, actually. I didn't sign in completely because I want to stay in touch with the rest of my family.
[07:41] <Z-23> Family?
[07:41] <Chibi-AnTil> One brother, three sisters.
[07:42] <Chibi-AnTil> You're awfully curious all of a sudden?
[07:42] <Z-23> I don't have to take this abuse from you! I've got lots of people who'd love to abuse me now!!! ^___~
[07:43] <Chibi-AnTil> No kidding. Everyone's talking about you and your friends. Have you been able to come up with anything about my case?
[07:43] * Z-23 pauses and looks across at UMP-9
[07:44] <UMP-9> >:(
[07:44] * UMP-9 points at her eyes, then points at Z-23. >:(
[07:44] <Z-23> ...Who's the stiff?
[07:45] <Chibi-AnTil> That "stiff" happens to be a very competent and qualified G&K girl assigned as my assistant. Now, what have you found?
[07:46] <Z-23> I'd rather give it to you in private, but okay.
[07:51] * Z-23 pulls out a notebook. "The name "Zuul" refers to a demigod that was worshipped around 6000BC by the Mesopotamians, the Sumerians, and the Hittites. Zuul was the minion of Sukima. "
[07:52] <Chibi-AnTil> Well what are they doing in my kitchen?!
[07:52] <Z-23> I don't know, but I figured we'd get together and go over all of the information and find out. I was thinking tonight.
[07:53] <Chibi-AnTil> Tonight? I can't do tonight I'm...busy!
[07:54] <Z-23> Mister AnTil! You're under the mistaken impression that I've got all the time in the world and can devote endless personal attention to every client and customer we now have. I don't.
[07:55] <Z-23> I'm putting PERSONAL effort into your case because...I like you.
[07:55] <Z-23> ^___^
[07:56] <Z-23> I like you and I respect you as a client. And as a dresser because you looked absolutely fantastic in your JSDF uniform earlier! :D
[07:58] <Chibi-AnTil> Okay-okay! I guess we can do something tonight. ^___^;
[07:58] <Z-23> I'll bring the reference guides and we can eat and read!
[07:59] <Z-23> In fact, I'll come over in a few hours and we can get started! :D
[07:59] * Chibi-AnTil nods and heads back over to where UMP-9 is waiting.
[08:00] <UMP-9> Who was that?
[08:01] <Chibi-AnTil> Oh, she's a friend helping me out with a problem at home.
[08:03] <Z-23> ♦ Well, I'll see you in a little while, Mr AnTil! And I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you, madam! I'm glad you're feeling better though. I've heard that bad seafood can really give you the s[BLEEP]ts! You're still really pale! Get some sun!
[08:03] * UMP-9 looks back at Z-23. >:[
[08:03] <Z-23> >:D
[08:03] <UMP-9> What does she do, exactly?
[08:04] <Chibi-AnTil> She's a...scientist.
[08:05] *** The scene ends with Z-23 back on the sidewalk as she resumes dancing with even greater enthusiasm. She's clearly VERY happy, and a happy Nimi is a beautiful thing to see.
[08:06] *** The scene switches back to Chibi-AnTil's apartment building. The weather seems to be getting a little bad.
[08:07] * Chibi-AnTil walks out of the elevator and starts going down the hall towards his apartment.
[08:08] *** Konata Izumi's apartment is up ahead and there's a LOT of noise coming out of it. Faint music is playing and there's the obvious sounds of a BUNCH of girls in there chattering and yammering away. Konata's aforementioned party is underway and it sounds like it's BUSY.
[08:09] * Chibi-AnTil tries to move past the closed door. >___>
[08:09] *** The door opens.
[08:09] *** Konata Izumi has joined #suburbansenshi3
[08:09] <@spiritflame> ohayo Konata Izumi
[08:09] <Konata Izumi> OH, IT'S YOU, ANTILZHA!!! :D
[08:10] <Konata Izumi> You've gotta come in here!! I've got the LANs going, we're playing multi-player Halo: Reach and Overwatch! Kagami just blew up everyone! It's crazy in here!
[08:11] <Chibi-AnTil> I'm sorry, Konata. I can't. I have a date.
[08:11] <Konata Izumi> O___O
[08:11] * Konata Izumi steps out into the hallway.
[08:11] *** The door closes behind her.
[08:11] <Konata Izumi> You have a DATE?
[08:11] <Konata Izumi> TONIGHT?!
[08:11] <Konata Izumi> :<
[08:12] <Chibi-AnTil> I'm sorry, but it just came out that way.
[08:13] <Konata Izumi> ...OH THAT'S OKAY! You can bring him along! ^_____^
[08:13] <Chibi-AnTil> ...Okay, maybe we can stop by in a bit.
[08:13] * Chibi-AnTil heads for his apartment.
[08:14] <Konata Izumi> Hey, that's great!
[08:16] <Konata Izumi> Miyuki's gonna sing karaoke, Misao's brought some sake, it'll be...
[08:16] * Konata Izumi tries to open her door.
[08:16] *** It's locked.
[08:17] <Konata Izumi> Hey! HEY! LEMME IN! KAGAMI! TSUKASA! SOMEBODY LEMME IIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN~!!!
[08:19] * Chibi-AnTil chuckles as he enters his apartment and closes the door behind him.
[08:21] *** The scene switches to the creepy rooftop of the building, focusing on one of the two strange beast statues. It's the statue of a fierce alien wolf of some kind, with long ears, nasty claws, bared fangs, and nine tails.
[08:22] *** The stonework of one of the claws suddenly crumbles and falls away, revealing ACTUAL claws underneath that start to flex!!
[08:22] *** The stonework of one of the eyes cracks and bursts, and an eye opens, glowing yellow!!
[08:23] * Chibi-AnTil is getting out of his work clothes when the phone rings.
[08:23] * Chibi-AnTil answers it. "Oh, hello Mother. What's up?"
[08:24] <Chibi-AnTil> I'm sorry, I can't talk for long. I have a date.
[08:24] <Chibi-AnTil> Yes, a date. Well, you see...she's a Fluffbuster.
[08:24] <Chibi-AnTil> ...Yes, those weird girls on TV.
[08:25] * Chibi-AnTil goes over to a chair and sits down in it.
[08:26] <Chibi-AnTil> I'll try to come up for a visit soon though. I'll let you know when I get approval from work. Okay, bye. Bye!
[08:26] * Chibi-AnTil hangs up. What a day.
[08:27] *** The kitchen door is closed, but there's a strange light shining through the cracks around the doorframe.
[08:27] * Chibi-AnTil slowly becomes aware of the GROWLING.
[08:27] <Chibi-AnTil> <__<;;;
[08:28] *** The door is bulging outwards a little, like something is pushing against it from the other side.
[08:28] <Chibi-AnTil> - Oh s[BLEEP]t!!! -
[08:32] *** Suddenly, a female arm clad in red and black gloves BURSTS through the fabric of the armrest of the chair and CLAMPS down onto Chibi-AnTil's mouth, pushing his head back into chair!
[08:34] *** Another girl's arm, clad in red and black, bursts through a different part of the chair and puts AnTil's head in an arm-bar!!!
[08:35] <Chibi-AnTil> O____O
[08:36] *** A third girl's arm bursts up through the seat cushion and grabs onto his leg!!
[08:36] *** The chair suddenly turns sharply to face the kitchen door.
[08:36] *** The kitchen door opens!
[08:37] * ~ Sitting right in the doorway is an absolutely HUGE...FOX!!
[08:37] * ~ Golden fur! NINE super-fluffy tails!
[08:38] * ~ Twin-eared white mop-hat on its head!
[08:38] *** IT'S RAN YAKUMO IN HER FOX-FORM!!! Of COURSE they got HER for this role!!!!!!
[08:42] <Chibi-AnTil> O____O
[08:43] * Chibi-AnTil struggles wildly against the arms holding him down as the chair starts to slide towards the kitchen!
[08:43] <Ran Yakumo (Evil Demon Fox)> >:D
[08:48] * Chibi-AnTil is pulled kicking and screaming into the kitchen!!!
[08:48] *** The door slams shut.
[08:50] *** The scene ends with a final shot of the roof. One of the statues is now in pieces, and it looks like the statue was HOLLOW the whole time.
[08:50] *** The OTHER statue starts to crumble now, too
[08:50] * ~ PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!
[07:25] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:41] *** The scene picks up right where it left off yesterday.
[07:42] *** MEANWHILE, INSIDE KONATA'S APARTMENT!
[07:43] * Konata Izumi giggles as she brings out more soft drinks and energy drinks from her refrigerator.
[07:44] *** The party is in full swing and it looks like it's going WELL. ALL of her friends are here and things are lively.
[07:46] *** Several large flat-screen monitors have been set up and everyone's either chatting and watching the carnage, or playing any number of multiplayer shooting games involving up to four different people.
[07:47] *** They're playing classic Halo, they're playing Overwatch (1, not 2), They're playing Helldivers and cracking off quotes from "Starship Troopers"...it's fantastic!
[07:51] <Kagami Hiiragi> COME ON YOU APES!! YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER!!
[07:54] * Tsukasa Hiiragi howls in laughter as lays down devastating barrages of automatic fire against the Terminids in Helldivers. "FOR DEMOCRACY~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
[07:55] <Konata Ikumi> Hey everyone! I brought out more drinks! Good thing I really overstocked on them all, right?
[07:56] <Konata Ikumi> As you can see, I've got nothing but "Oldies but Goodies" to play today! With the exception of Helldivers 2, everything I have is at least several years old.
[07:57] <Konata Ikumi> Because, if you ask me, gameplay quality has gone down in the last few years.
[07:58] <Patricia Martin> Do you think it's because the developers have gotten really greedy?
[07:59] <Konata Izumi> Originally I thought so...
[08:01] * Konata Izumi is doing a running dialogue as she goes around letting everyone grab soda cans off of her as she makes her way to the table off to the side where everything is set up for food. LOTS of snack food, too. And it's going at a steady rate.
[08:02] <Konata Izumi> Without a doubt the corporate greed factor is everpresent. However, as a hard-core gamer myself I've played a LOT of these new games over the years and I've noticed something.
[08:03] <Konata Izumi> Quality has really gone down. I mean, the graphics with some of these games has actually gotten WORSE compared to 10-15 years ago.
[08:05] <Konata Izumi> I mean, Stalker: Anomaly is available to download online FOR FREE, it's graphics engine is just as old, but the graphics are still pretty decent and the gameplay is good...and it's FREE!!!!!!! Yet it's still better then HALF the games coming out that cost $40 or more!
[08:06] <Konata Izumi> I think the real problem is a combination of that good ol' corporate greed combined with a talent deficit and some genuine arrogance on the part of the developers.
[08:09] <Konata Izumi> Some of these new developers really don't seem to be all that talented to start with. And the storylines they've come up with just SUCK. I'm mean, look at Metal Gear: Revengeance!! THAT was ART!!!!!!
[08:10] <Misao Kusakabe> NaNoMaChInEs, SoN~!!!
[08:10] * Konata Izumi laughs and points at her! "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!"
[08:11] <Konata Izumi> This new generation of developers just don't have the same passion or appreciation of the Art of Story.
[08:12] <Konata Izumi> I think some of them spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME in the political-science clubs in college and learned too much bulls[BLEEP]t.
[08:13] * Konata Izumi is tying up a partially-full garbage bag and pulling it over to her bedroom for now to get it out of the way.
[08:15] <Konata Izumi> And THEN made the mistake of assuming that what their Chip-On-Their-Shoulder professors taught them actually applies in the Real World and they're finding out the hard way that their "Postmodernist" nonsense doesn't really work in reality.
[08:15] * Konata Izumi tosses the garbage bag into her bedroom...completely FAILING to notice the GIGANTIC MONSTER SITTING ON HER BED!!!!
[08:18] *** It looks like a HUGE panther!! Black as midnight with bright red eyes! Its two tails slowly sway as it waits and...is that a GREEN MOP-HAT on its head?!??!
[08:19] * Konata Izumi accidentally HITS the monster in the face with the garbage bag, STILL not seeing it as she closes the door.
[08:20] <Konata Izumi> Okay, who wants to try out Space Marine 2???!!! I've got the mods installed that turns the Cadians into Helldivers and the Tyranids into various Disney characters!!!!!
[08:21] <Miyuki Takara> Wait, are you SERIOUS?!
[08:24] <Konata Izumi> YES! Some mad-lad modder turned all the burrowing snake-thing Raveners into Ariel the Mermaid!!! And the Carnifexes into T-Rexes from Jurassic Park!!!!! It's awesome!!!
[08:25] *** A LOUD growl comes from the bedroom.
[08:25] *** The room goes quiet.
[08:26] <Konata Izumi> ...Okay, who brought the dog?
[08:27] *** Suddenly, the bedroom door EXPLODES to pieces as the monster that was inside tears through it in a single leap, soaring across the room and smashing into the snack-table, instantly wrecking it and scattering everything everywhere.
[08:27] <Konata Izumi> AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
[08:28] * Konata Izumi screams even more as the thing fixes HER with a hungry-looking gaze and starts towards her!
[08:28] * Konata Izumi runs out the front door, slamming it behind her.
[08:29] *** A moment later, her front door EXPLODES as the thing tears right through it, pursuing after her!
[08:30] * Konata Izumi runs out the main entrance of the apartment building a moment later. "HELP! HELP! THE COCAINE BEAR'S CHASING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
[08:30] * Konata Izumi sprints across the street, dodging traffic and leaping over the low brick wall on the other side.
[08:31] *** Several people watch her go with confused expressions on their faces. HEY! It's Haruka and Michiru!!! Did they get a CAMEO in this flick?!
[08:32] <Haruka> Huuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
[08:32] <Michiru> The Cocaine Bear?
[08:33] *** Both of them are blown off their feet as the Cat-Monster (a Kasha, perhaps) charges through them in hot pursuit of Konata. It leaps over the cars and clears that brick wall like it's not even there!
[08:34] * Konata Izumi is charging through the park, towards a brightly lit building up ahead that's surrounded by tables and seats.
[08:34] <Konata Izumi> Aw crap!! I need to bring this up with the next tenants' meeting! There's not supposed to be large pets in the apartments!!!!!
[08:35] *** The large windows of the building show that it's a restaurant and it's currently FILLED with people!
[08:37] *** Oh hey! It's Tactical Maid Cafe!! There's Springfield! And they're BUSY tending to what looks like a big party being hosted by the Azur Lane girls! Specifically, it's the Royal Navy, Eagle Union, and Northern Parliament!
[08:38] *** Yes, some of those Russian Shipgirls are indeed dancing on tables, and Sheffield looks like she'd rather be ANYWHERE but there.
[08:38] * Konata Izumi tries the first door she comes across but it's locked! >___<;;;;
[08:38] * Konata Izumi starts banging on the windows.
[08:39] <Konata Izumi> HEY!! HEY!!! LET ME IN! PLEASE! THERE'S SOMETHING OUT HERE WITH ME!!!
[08:42] * Konata Izumi stops as she senses something.
[08:42] * Konata Izumi turns around.
[08:42] *** IT'S THERE.
[08:42] <Konata Izumi> Hey there, big guy!!
[08:43] <Konata Izumi> Cute little bear! Well, not so little!!
[08:46] <Konata Izumi> Maybe I've got some benzodiazepine on me!!!!
[08:46] *** There's a short pause.
[08:46] *** Then the monster starts to ROAR at Konata as it quickly closes the distance on her!!!
[08:47] * Konata Izumi SCREAMS LIKE UMP-9 AS SHE BACKS RIGHT INTO THE WINDOW AND SLOWLY DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND, MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES ON THE GLASS AS SHE GOES.
[08:48] *** The party inside stopped to watch this. Then the girls of Azur Lane go RIGHT BACK TO HAVING THEIR PARTY.
[08:48] *** PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!
[07:37] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:52] *** Fluffy One is driving through the streets. Night has fallen, and the streetlights give everything a surreal quality.
[07:52] * Ayanami is driving.
[07:53] * Javelin is seated next to her, reading over a bunch of blueprints.
[07:53] <Ayanami> o___o
[07:53] <Javelin> You okay over there?
[07:54] <Ayanami> Yes. Just thinking about all the things that have been happening.
[07:54] <Ayanami> And I'm wondering about everything the religions say.
[07:55] <Ayanami> LIke about the end of the world.
[07:55] * Javelin looks at something specific on the blueprints. "What the? A magnesium-tungsten alloy?! That makes no sense!"
[07:56] <Javelin> Sorry, I'm just looking at the construction schematics of the apartment that AnTilZha Langister lives in and they are very, very strange. I need to stop for a bit. This is making my head hurt. What were you saying?
[07:57] <Ayanami> You know like how in the Bible it says that the dead would rise from the grave?
[07:58] <Javelin> "And I looked as he opened the sixth seal and behold there was a great earthquake. And the sun became as black as sack-cloth, and the moon became His blood."
[07:58] <Ayanami> And the seas boiled, and the skies fell.
[07:59] <Javelin> Judgement Day.
[07:59] * Ayanami nods and frowns.
[07:59] <Javelin> Well, every culture has its own myths about the end of the world.
[07:59] <Ayanami> >__>
[08:00] <Ayanami> Has it crossed your mind that maybe the reason why we've all been to busy lately is maybe the dead HAVE been rising from the grave?
[08:00] <Javelin> O___o;;;
[08:00] <Javelin> Leeeeet's just have some music, shall we?
[08:01] <Ayanami> ...Sure.
[08:02] *** Then, the scene switches back to the Apartment Complex. Z-23 is happily making her way to the front doors.
[08:04] * Z-23 has DRESSED UP for the occasion in her "Philosophy Sensei" outfit!
[08:05] * Z-23 slows down as she sees the police interviewing people at the doors! The area looks trashed!
[08:05] <Z-23 > Excuse me, what happened here?
[08:06] * RO-635 and Sopmod-2 are there! THEY are the police officers!
[08:06] <RO-635> Animal attack.
[08:06] <Sopmod-2> Some dumbass brought a panther to a party and it went berserk.
[08:07] <Z-23> Can I go in?
[08:07] <RO-635> Are you a resident here?
[08:08] <Z-23> Nien, I'm here to visit AnTilZha Langister. Apartment 2314.
[08:08] *** The Doorman nods to RO-635 and opens the door for Z-23.
[08:09] *** Cut to the 23rd floor. Z-23 gets off the elevator and looks around in detached dismay at the wreckage she sees.
[08:10] * Z-23 sees that the door to one of the other apartments hadn't just been blown off its hinges, but the hinges were quite literally ripped OUT of the doorframe with enough force to partially dislodge the frame itself.
[08:10] <Z-23> That's a lot of force.
[08:11] * Z-23 walks up to Chibi-AnTil's door. :D
[08:11] *** Knock-knock. Knock-knock. Knock. Knock. Knockknock!
[08:11] * Z-23 grins happily as the door opens.
[08:12] <Chibi-AnTil> ...................
[08:12] <Chibi-AnTil> - Are you the Gatekeeper? -
[08:12] <Z-23> o___O
[08:12] <Z-23> No?
[08:12] * Chibi-AnTil slams the door in her face.
[08:15] <Z-23> ...
[08:15] * Z-23 knocks again.
[08:15] * Chibi-AnTil opens the door again. Z-23 notices something "different" about him now. Does he have FOX EARS on his head?!?!
[08:15] <Chibi-AnTil> - Are you the Gatekeeper? -
[08:16] <Z-23> JA!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:16] <Chibi-AnTil> :D
[08:17] * Chibi-AnTil lets her in, closing the door behind her.
[08:20] <Z-23> He's coming by later. I was told to keep you company. ^____^
[08:20] <Z-23> I didn't get your name?
[08:20] <Chibi-AnTil> I am Zuul. I am the Keymaster.
[08:21] * Chibi-AnTil is a mess. His clothes are torn up, he has fox ears, and fluffy tails now, as well as a distant expression.
[08:21] <Z-23> <___<;
[08:21] * Z-23 looks around the apartment as she's led into the living room.
[08:22] *** The place is a wreck. The furniture has been knocked around, and there's ectoplasm smeared in places. Around the kitchen door it looks like it's been PAINTED onto the walls.
[08:22] <Z-23> >__>;;
[08:23] <Z-23> Soooooo, what are we up to tonight?
[08:23] <Chibi-AnTil> We must prepare for the coming of Sukima.
[08:24] <Chibi-AnTil> - THE DESTRUCTOR. -
[08:24] * Chibi-AnTil has led Z-23 into the bedroom.
[08:24] <Z-23> :O
[08:26] <Z-23> ...I love what you've done with your place now. ^__^;
[08:26] * Chibi-AnTil lays down on the bed. "Do you want this body?"
[08:26] <Z-23> ...Is this a trick question? :D~
[08:27] * Z-23 suddenly stops and looks around to see if anyone or anything else is lurking nearby.
[08:28] *** There's a slight commotion out on the balcony as Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are tackled by RO-635 and Sopmod-2.
[08:30] * Chibi-AnTil sits up and reaches for Z-23 with a lustful grin on his face. "Take me now...sub-creature!"
[08:30] <Z-23> _
[08:30] * Z-23 LEAPS onto Chibi-AnTil!!
[08:31] <Z-23> Wait-wait-wait!! No-no-no!!
[08:31] <Z-23> Can't do this! Company policy! Never get involved with possessed people, and it sounds like there's already two or more people inside there already!
[08:32] * Z-23 manages to extricate herself from Chibi-AnTil and move outside the bed.
[08:33] <Z-23> Now! Just sit there and relax! Keep those tails to yourself before I try and bury my face in them AGAIN.
[08:33] <Z-23> Now...I'd like to talk to AnTil. Let me talk to AnTil.
[08:33] <Chibi-AnTil> There is no, AnTil. Only Zuul!
[08:33] * Chibi-AnTil reaches out with his tails towards Z-23.
[08:34] <Z-23> NONONONONONONO!!!
[08:34] * Z-23 flails with her arms to try and fend off the questing tails!
[08:35] <Z-23> Don't tempt me! Don't tempt me! Don't invite me into Fluffy Heaven! I mean it!
[08:35] <Z-23> I want to talk to AnTil! Let me talk to AnTil!
[08:35] <Chibi-AnTil> - ...THERE IS NO, ANTIL. ONLY ZUUL. -
[08:36] <Z-23> You have a lovely singing voice there! ^____^;
[08:36] <Z-23> Now, I'm serious! If you don't let me speak with AnTilZha...there's going to be some serious trouble in this apartment!
[08:37] <Z-23> I mean, I will go into full-throttle GERMAN mode!
[08:40] <Z-23> EINS!
[08:41] * Chibi-AnTil growls as he lays on the bed with his hands held down by Z-23. He's glaring at her angrily.
[08:41] <Z-23> ZWEI!
[08:42] * Chibi-AnTil shakes his head back and forth a couple of times, and his tails start to writhe and bristle.
[08:43] <Z-23> ZWEIEINHALB? ^____^;;
[08:43] * Chibi-AnTil HOWLS! A moment later he starts to physically levitate up off the bed.
[08:43] * Z-23 steps back!
[08:46] *** Z-23 watches as Chibi-AnTil remains horizontal, but he's levitating further up off the mattress. First it's just a few inches, then FEET, as he growls and snarls in...anger? Frustration? Pain? Regardless, he continues to snarl for a full minute as he rises up over four feet into the air, seeming to calm down as Z-23 sits down on the bed, peering up at him.
[08:47] <Z-23> ...Please come down.
[08:48] * Chibi-AnTil suddenly ROARS with enough force to send her glasses flying!!
[08:48] <Z-23> >________<;;;;
[08:48] *** PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!
[07:38] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:49] *** Konata Izumi has joined #suburbansenshi3
[07:49] <@spiritflame> ohayo Konata Izumi
[07:50] * Konata Izumi is running through the plaza. It's still night, and the area is somewhat busy.
[07:51] * Konata Izumi looks like crap. Her hair's messed up and her clothes arre disheveled, and her expression looks like she IS the "Thousand Yard Stare" meme.
[07:51] <Konata Izumi> O___O
[07:52] * Konata Izumi is running up to anyone she sees. Almost every time the people run away from her, but the to the few who stand their ground, she says only one thing before rushing off...
[07:53] <Konata Izumi> I am the Gatekeeper! Are you the Keymaster?
[07:57] * Konata Izumi sees one of those horse-drawn carriage rides just up ahead and grins!
[07:58] * Konata Izumi rushes up to the HORSE and addresses it.
[08:00] <Konata Izumi> I am Vince! Vince Clortho! Gatekeeper of Sukima! Volga-soldrai! Lady of the Sabulia! Are you the Keymaster?
[08:00] * UMP-45 is sitting on the carriage.
[08:00] <UMP-45> He just pulls the wagon. I make the deals. Are you looking for a ride?
[08:02] * Konata Izumi turns and GROWLS at UMP-45, her eyes glowing!
[08:03] * Konata Izumi turns back to the horse. "Wait for the sign, then our prisoners will be released!"
[08:03] * Konata Izumi starts running off! "YOU WILL PERISH IN FLAMES! YOU WILL..."
[08:04] * Konata Izumi runs right through several paper shopping bags owned by UMP-9 (baglady), noisily scattering their contents everywhere!
[08:04] <UMP-9> HEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~!!!!! >__<;
[08:04] <UMP-45> What an a[BLEEP]le! O__o;
[08:06] *** The scene switches to the main entrance to Fluffbusters HQ. A police van is parked outside now, and your local law enforcement (RO-635 and Sopmod-2) are there!!!
[08:06] * Sopmod-2 is knocking on the door.
[08:08] * Unicorn answers it.
[08:08] <Unicorn> o____o
[08:08] <Sopmod-2> :D
[08:08] <Unicorn> Dropping off or picking up?
[08:08] <Sopmod-2> Dropping off! :D
[08:10] <Unicorn> Just a minute.
[08:11] * Unicorn goes back inside, and a few seconds later Laffey comes out.
[08:11] <Sopmod-2> Are you a Fluffbuster?
[08:11] <Laffey> Yes, I am. What's wrong?
[08:13] <Sopmod-2> We picked up this girl. Now we don't know what we want to do with her. Belview doesn't want her, and I don't want to put her in lockup.
[08:13] * Sopmod-2 leads Laffey over to the van, where RO-635 has started opening the rear doors.
[08:14] <Sopmod-2> And we know you girls are into this stuff, so we figured we'd check with you.
[08:16] * Konata Izumi is in the back! In a straightjacket!
[08:16] * Laffey looks at her.
[08:16] <Konata Izumi> Are you the Keymaster?
[08:17] * Laffey holds up a PKE detector to her. It immediately starts buzzing like crazy and lighting up!
[08:18] <Laffey> I think you'd better bring her inside.
[08:18] * Sopmod-2 and RO-635 start bringing Konata out of the van while Laffey and Unicorn start heading back in.
[08:19] <Unicorn > You are so kind to want to help her. You're a real humanitarian. ^___^
[08:19] <Laffey> I don't think she's human at all.
[08:21] *** The scene switches to inside, where Konata is out of the straightjacket, sitting in a chair, and wearing some kind of brain-scanning device partially made out of a spaghetti collander. The image that's on a nearby TV isn't of Konata, but a freakish Big Cat wearing a mob-hat!!!
[08:21] <Laffey> o___O
[08:21] <Laffey> Can you tell me your name again?
[08:22] <Konata Izumi> Vince! Vince Clortho! Gatekeeper of Sukima!
[08:23] * Unicorn has Konata's wallet. "According to this, her name's Konata Izumi. Lives near Central Park."
[08:23] <Unicorn> Do you want some tea, Konata?
[08:23] <Konata Izumi> Do I?
[08:24] <Laffey> Yes, have some.
[08:24] <Konata Izumi> Yes, have some!
[08:24] <Unicorn> ^___^;
[08:24] * Unicorn gets up to get it.
[08:25] <Laffey> Vince, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?
[08:26] <Konata Izumi> Sukima the Traveller! She will come in one of the pre-chosen forms!
[08:26] <Konata Izumi> During the Rectification of the Vuldronni, the Traveler came as a large and moving TORB!!!!! :D
[08:28] <Konata Izumi> Then, during the Third Reconciliation of the last of the Meketric supplicants, they chose a new form for her. THAT OF A GIANT SLOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:28] <Konata Izumi> Many shrubs and Zuul knew what it was like to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you!!!!
[08:29] <Unicorn> Laffey.
[08:29] * Unicorn beckons Laffey over to her.
[08:29] <Laffey> Excuse me.
[08:29] * Laffey goes over to Unicorn.
[08:30] <Unicorn > There's something very strange about that girl! o____o
[08:30] * Konata Izumi is currently licking herself like she's grooming.
[08:31] <Unicorn> Listen, I'm usually very psychic and I have a terrible feeling something awful is going to happen to you!
[08:32] <Unicorn> I'm afraid you're going to die. T___T
[08:32] * Unicorn hugs Laffey.
[08:32] *** The phone suddenly rings!
[08:33] <Konata Izumi> O____O
[08:33] <Laffey> Calm down, it's just the phone.
[08:33] * Laffey goes over to get. "Hello?"
[08:34] <Z-23 (on phone)> ♦ Guten, Laffey. Just checking in with all of you.
[08:35] <Z-23 (on phone)> ♦ It seems that Sukima has been putting the moves on MY would-be husbando!!!!
[08:35] <Laffey> How is he? Is he hurt at all?
[08:36] <Z-23 (on phone)> ♦ I think we can get him a spot on Wild Kingdom. I hit him up with 300cc's of tranquilizers, he's going to take a little nap now. But he's saying he's the Keymaster. Does that mean anything to you?
[08:37] <Laffey> Some. We've got a girl calling herself the Gatekeeper here.
[08:38] *** Konata Izumi is currently drinking DIRECTLY from a kettle.
[08:38] <Z-23 (on phone)> ♦ Oh, great. We HAVE to get these two together.
[08:39] <Laffey> I think that would be extraordinarily dangerous.
[08:42] <Z-23 (on phone)> ♦ I'm going to head back to you. Get Javelin and Ayanami to come back. I think we need to all put our heads together and figure this out. Bye.
[08:45] <Laffey> Unicorn...?
[08:45] * Laffey watches as Konata just pushes a small potted plant off of a desk and watches it break on the ground.
[08:46] <Laffey> I think you'd better get on the radio and have Javelin and Ayanami get back here now.
[08:46] *** AND PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!!
[07:32] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up!
[07:35] *** The scene starts just outside Fluffbusters HQ, with a bunch of people starting to congregate outside the main door.
[07:35] *** HK-416 has joined #suburbansenshi3
[07:35] <@spiritflame> ohayo HK-416
[07:35] <HK-416> >:(
[07:35] * HK-416 is joined by RO-635, Sopmod-2, and G11
[07:38] * HK-416 enters Fluffbusters HQ, looking determined and upset.
[07:39] *** Unicorn is nearby, getting some coffee.
[07:39] <Unicorn> Excuse me?
[07:40] <Unicorn> EXCUSE ME!! Hold on there!!
[07:41] <HK-416> Step aside or I'll have you arrested for interfering with a court order.
[07:42] <Unicorn> Oh no! I've watched American police shows. I know you can't just walk in here without a warrant or a writ or something.
[07:46] * HK-416 holds up a big stack of papers.
[07:49] <HK-416> Cease and Desist All Commerce orders! Seize of Premises and Chattels! Ban on the Use of Public Utilities for Non-Licensed Waste Handlers. And a Federal Entry and Inspection order.
[07:50] * HK-416 walks past Unicorn and heads for the stairs.
[07:51] *** The scene shifts downstairs to where the Containment Facility is.
[07:51] * Laffey is downstairs with Konata, looking over some of the scientific equipment stacked on some shelves.'
[07:52] <Laffey> Vince, there's one more test I'd like to perform on you...
[07:53] * Unicorn hurries downstairs and up to her.
[07:53] <Unicorn> Laffey! I tried to stop them! They said they have a warrant!
[07:53] * HK-416 comes downstairs with everyone else.
[07:54] * HK-416 looks around the room with a cursory glance.
[07:54] <HK-416> Shut these off. Shut these all off.
[07:54] <Laffey> Excuse me, this is private property.
[07:54] <HK-416> Shut all of these things off.
[07:55] <Laffey> I'm warning you! Turning off these machines would be extremely hazardous!
[07:57] <HK-416> I'll tell you what's hazardous. You're facing federal prosecution for at least half a dozen environmental violations. Now you either shut off these beams or we'll shut them off for you.
[07:58] *** Meanwhile, outside, Z-23 has arrived and heads inside.
[07:58] * Laffey , Unicorn, and Konata Izumi have moved to the main controls of the Containment Facility, blocking it with their bodies.
[07:59] * Konata Izumi looks like she has NO idea what's going on and is just following what everyone else is doing, but she seems to be enjoying herself regardless.
[07:59] <Konata Izumi> ^____^
[08:00] <Laffey> Try to understand this is a high-voltage laser containment system. Simply turning it off would be like dropping a bomb on the city.
[08:01] <HK-416> Don't patronize me! I'm not GROTESQULY stupid, like the people you bilk!!
[08:01] *** Z-23 has joined #suburbansenshi3
[08:01] <@spiritflame> ohayo Z-23
[08:01] <Z-23> o___O
[08:03] <Z-23> Excuse me, officers! I'm Z-23 and I think there's been a slight misunderstanding and I want to cooperate in any way that I can.
[08:04] <HK-416> Forget it, Z-23. You had your chance to cooperate but you thought it'd be funnier to insult me. Well, now it is my turn, wiseass.
[08:04] <Laffey> She wants to shut down the protection grid, Nimi.
[08:05] <Z-23> You shut that thing down and we are not going to be held responsible for whatever happens.
[08:06] <HK-416> Oh no! You WILL be! D:<
[08:06] * G-11 is now standing next to the main power switches.
[08:07] <Z-23> DON'T shut it off! I'm warning you!
[08:07] <G-11> I've never seen anything like this before. I don't think...
[08:07] <HK-416> I don't care what you think. Just shut it off.
[08:08] * Z-23 moves up to G-11.
[08:08] <Z-23> My friend, don't be a jerk.
[08:08] <Sopmod-2> Hey! Step aside!
[08:09] <HK-416> If she does that again, you can shoot her.
[08:09] <Sopmod-2> You do your job, Kraut-girl. Don't tell me how to do mine! >:(
[08:10] <HK-416> JUST SHUT IT OFF!!!
[08:11] * Z-23 moves closer to the stairs.
[08:11] * Laffey silently mouths "BOOM" to RO635 and Sopmod-2 as she and Unicorn move toward the stairs.
[08:12] * G-11 takes hold of the main power switch and yanks it DOWN.
[08:12] *** Alert sirens and red lights start to go off.
[08:13] *** A strange grinding and scrabbling sound almost immediately begin, coming from behind the wall!
[08:14] <~> Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie!
[08:15] *** Everyone backs away from the wall as a few of the cinderblocks start to vibrate!
[08:15] <~> TWINKIE! TWINKIE! TWINKIE! TWINKIE! TWINKIE! TWINKIE!
[08:17] *** Everyone starts charging up the stairs as first one, then another, of the vibrating cinderblocks just SHOOT out of the wall like corks off a wine bottle!!
[08:18] <~> TWINKIE!! TWINKIE!! TWINKIE!! TWINKIE!!
[08:18] *** Everyone is stampeding towards the doors!
[08:18] <Laffey> ABANDON SHIP!!!!
[08:18] <Z-23> CLEAR THE BUILDING!!!
[08:19] *** Elsewhere in the city, Chibi-AnTil is still asleep on his bed, almost seeming to pant.
[08:20] * Z-23 and the others rush outside as smoke starts to billow from within Fluffbusters HQ.
[08:23] *** A crowd has started to gather outside as smoke and billowing sparks start to explode out of the open doorway. Something BIG is about to go off inside!
[08:24] *** And THESE THREE GIRLS are in the crowd watching it all happen!!!!!!
[08:27] * Neon SQUEEZES the detonator~!!!!!!! >:D
[08:27] *** THE ROOF BLOWS OFF OF FLUFFBUSTERS HQ!!!!!
[08:29] *** Hundreds of multicolored orbs of wispy light erupt out of the roof like an ethereal volcano, and the air is filled with the triumphant howls and cries of HUNDREDS of spirit-foxes!!!!
[08:29] <~> FIND THE BIG TWINKIE!!!
[08:29] <~> THE BIG TWINKIE MUST BE EATEN!!!!
[08:30] *** Meanwhile, across the city...
[08:30] <Chibi-AnTil> O___O
[08:30] * Chibi-AnTil immediately wakes up.
[08:30] <Konata Izumi> THIS IS IT!!! THIS IS THE SIGN!!!! :D
[08:31] <Unicorn> It's a sign all right!
[08:31] <Unicorn> Going out of business!!! >___<;;;
[08:32] *** Oh! Looks like the onlookers think this is some kind of publicity stunt! A bunch of them are clapping!
[08:34] <Megumin> :D~
[08:34] <Megumin> Now THAT'S a pretty decent explosion!! I give it Three-and-a-half stars!!!
[08:35] *** More and more ghosts erupt out into the skies, howling in glee as they start to disperse.
[08:35] *** Yes....SHE is one of those ghosts. Which means no restaurant is safe now!!
[08:38] *** Fluffy One pulls up, and Javelin and Ayanami hurry over to where Z-23 and Laffey are.
[08:38] <Javelin > What happened?!?!
[08:41] <Laffey> The storage facility blew. They shut off the protection grid.
[08:41] <Javelin> OH NO!!! >__<;;
[08:41] <Ayanami> That's bad, isn't it?
[08:41] <Javelin> Yes.
[08:42] <Z-23> HEY! Where's the Gatekeeper?!?!
[08:42] * Z-23 and Laffey both look around in mounting panic.
[08:42] * Konata Izumi is just GONE!
[08:42] <Laffey> S[BLEEP]T!!!
[08:43] <Javelin> Who's the Gatekeeper!? o__O
[08:43] * Laffey and Z-23 start rushing toward Fluffy One, but are intercepted!
[08:44] <HK-416> OFFICER! I WANT THIS GIRL ARRESTED!!!
[08:45] <HK-416> These girls are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act! AND THIS EXPLOSION IS A DIRECT RESULT OF IT!!!
[08:45] <Laffey> YOUR MOTHER!!!! >:O
[08:48] * Laffey dives onto HK-416 and starts smacking and pummelling her, and RO-635 and Sopmod-2 immediately dive in to break them up while the crowd cheers the fight on!
[08:48] *** PAUSE HERE FOR NOW!
[16:29] * The Cheesykits Projector starts to warm up
[17:01] * The Cheesykits Projector is almost ready!
[17:07] *** The scene continues where it left off!
[17:07] *** Fluffbusters HQ has exploded SPECTACULARLY and all of the spooks, specters, and ghost that had been contained inside are LOOSE!!
[17:08] *** They rise up into the sky like a strange otherworldly volcano, then start to spread out and scatter across the city.
[17:08] *** Glowing Kitsune-bi reform into flying spirit-foxes, and they descend upon the crowds below like hunting predators!!!!!!
[17:09] * Konata Izumi walks through the streets, staring up continually at the sky at the incredible sight!
[17:10] * Konata Izumi passes by a subway entrance where a MASSIVE blast of air causes everyone to turn and flee as great and terrible howls start to ring out!!
[17:11] <Kagerou Imaizumi> - AAAAWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!!!! -
[17:13] * Kagerou Imaizumi BURSTS out of the subways and pounces on the nearest Japanese schoolboy, bringing him down and starting to give him SUCH a hair-ruffling!!!!!
[17:16] * Konata Izumi walks past a hot dog stand. ^____^
[17:17] *** Suddenly, the hot dog trolley starts to rumble and vibrate!! Everyone watches in shock and terror as something bursts out from inside it!!
[17:18] * Yuyuko Saigyougi emerges, having stuffed the LAST of the hot dog weiners into her mouth (ALL AT ONCE) and swallowing them ALL!!
[17:18] <Yuyuko Saigyougi> ^___________________________^
[17:22] * Konata Izumi walks past a parked taxi cab as a weird mist flows out of a sewer grate and up into the exhaust pipe.
[17:26] * Kaguya Houraisen gets into the back seat of the cab.
[17:27] <Kaguya Houraisan> Okay, I need to get to the stock exchange and I need to get there really fast, so take whatever shortcuts you need.
[17:32] * Flandre Scarlet is driving!!!!!!
[17:33] <Flandre Scarlet> o___o
[17:34] <Flandre Scarlet> >:D
[17:34] * Flandre Scarlet TEARS out of there and starts speeding down the street, pulling a U-turn at one point and barreling straight into...
[17:35] <Darkness (Konosuba)> :O
[17:35] <Darkness (Konosuba)> :D
[17:35] *** WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:36] * Darkness (Konosuba) is sent flying as Flandre drives right into her and DOESN'T stop to exchange insurance information!!!!
[17:40] * Konata Izumi keeps watching the skies, letting the great stampede of Spirit-foxes lead her onwards.
[17:40] <~> Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie! Twinkie!
[17:40] <~> WHERE'S THE GIANT TWINKIE?! They said there's a giant twinkie!
[17:43] * Konata Izumi approaches a large apartment building, not quite realize it's the one SHE lives at.
[17:44] *** The Spirit-Fox stampede rises and surges towards a single part on the 23rd floor.
[17:44] *** That whole section of the building suddenly EXPLODES, revealing!!!!!!
[17:44] *** Chibi-AnTil [WellManneredFoxBoy@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[17:44] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Chibi-AnTil
[17:44] <Chibi-AnTil> O____O
[17:44] <Konata Izumi> >:3
[17:47] *** Meanwhile, at the city jail, all of the Fluffbusters are stuck inside a large holding cell, surrounded by all kinds of unsavory and utterly DISGUSTING individuals!!!
[17:48] <Ayanami> Can I please make a phone call? I wasn't even there when everything exploded! >__<;
[17:51] *** Yes, the Starter Squad as been locked inside a holding cell with Simonov, AK-47, A-91 (Squad Vodka) and EVERY SINGLE SHIPGIRL in Northern Parliament. And yes, at least HALF of them are drinking copious amounts of Vodka and the other half are just being unruly and Slav-squatting.
[17:52] *** Ironically, all of them find what Javelin, Laffey, and Z-23 are talking about absolutely fascinating.
[17:53] <Javelin> Now, these are the technical schematics of AnTilZha Langister and Konata Izumi's apartment building, and the place is set up in the weirdest way.
[17:53] <Javelin> Cold-riveted steel girders, with cores of pure selenium.
[17:53] <Z-23> .....
[17:54] * Z-23 looks around at everyone else. "Everyone getting this so far?"
[17:54] <Z-23> Okay...so, they don't make them like they used to?
[17:54] <Javeline> NO! Nobody EVER made them like this. Either the architect was a certified genius or an authentic whacko!!
[17:55] <Z-23> Javelin, please pretend like I don't know anything about engineering, metallurgy, or physics and just tell me in simple terms what you're talking about.
[17:55] <Javelin> ...
[17:55] <Laffey> ...
[17:56] <Laffey> You never studied.
[17:57] <Javelin> Okay...this whole building was NOT constructed to be an apartment building. It was designed to LOOK like one when, in reality, it was designed to be an antenna and capacitor to draw in and concentrate spiritual turbulence.
[17:57] <Javelin> Your boyfriend lives in the corner penthouse...
[17:58] <Javelin> Of Spook Central.
[17:58] <Z-23> He's not my boyfriend. I like him because he's a brave, intelligent guy and he sleeps above his covers.
[17:58] <Z-23> FOUR FEET above his covers! He barks, he snarls, he claws!
[17:59] <Laffey> It's not him, Nimi. It's the building.
[18:00] <Laffey> Something terrible is about to enter our world and this building was meant to be the door.
[18:04] <Laffey> The architect's name was Usami Sumireko. I found her in Tobin's Spirit Guide.
[18:04] <Laffey> She was also a spiritual detective. Got involved in all kinds of strange and shady things.
[18:05] <Laffey> Then, years ago, she got involved with a couple of other spiritualists and started a secret society.
[18:05] <Laffey> The Ghostly Field Club.
[18:06] <Z-23> Let me guess. Sukima worshippers?
[18:06] <Laffey> Yes.
[18:06] * Z-23 smirks and looks over at Javelin. "No studying, huh????" >:D
[18:07] <Laffey> After the Millennium, they all decided that society was too sick to survive.
[18:08] *** They all notice that everyone else has gotten closer. They are GENUINELY interested in the conversation now, and look like they're about ready to volunteer to help.
[18:08] <Laffey> And they weren't alone. They had close to a thousand followers before they disappeared.
[18:09] <Laffey> They performed rituals up on the roof. Bizarre rituals meant to bring about the END OF THE WORLD!!
[18:09] <Laffey> And now it looks like it might actually happen!!!
[18:09] <Z-23> ...
[18:09] <Z-23> ♫ SOMETHING GOOD!!!! ♫
[18:10] <Z-23> ♫ For goodness' sake! WOOOOOooooo-ooooo! Somebodies' comin! ♫
[18:10] <Javelin> We've gotta get outta here! We've gotta find a lawyer or a judge or something! We're running out of time!
[18:11] <Ayanami> And say what? That some old, wizened Korean god from thousands of years ago is going to appear and tear apart the city?!
[18:11] <Laffey> Japanese, not Korean.
[18:11] <Z-23> Big difference
[18:12] <Ayanami> I'm sorry, but I need to get my own lawyer.
[18:12] <Sopmod-2> HEY!!! FLUFFBUSTERS!
[18:12] * Sopmod-2 is standing outside the holding cell door while RO-635 is preparing to unlock it.
[18:13] <Sopmod-2> The mayor wants to see you. The whole city is going crazy! Let's go.
[18:17] * Z-23 waves to everyone in Northern Parliament. "AUFWIEDERSEHEN!! I wish we could stay but the mayor wants to talk to us all! So long!!'
[18:18] <Z-23> Come on, girls. Let's get AWAY from these Russian drunkards before they do something to us!" o___O
[18:18] <Ayanami> <___<
[18:19] <Laffey> <___<
[18:19] <Javelin> ...HEY GIRLS! NIMI SAID VODKA SUCKS!!!
[18:21] <A-91> O___O
[18:21] <AK-47> O___O
[18:21] <Pamiat Merkuria> O___O
[18:23] <Kronshtadt> ...НАКАЖИТЕ ЕЕ!
[18:26] *** ALL of the Russian girls SURGE forward and grab onto Z-23, dragging her back inside and proceed to start shoving her back and forth between her all, while THIS starts to play LOUDLY!!!
[18:27] <RO-635> Hey! HEY!!! CUT THAT OUT!!!
[18:28] * Z-23 starts WAILING as she's getting tossed around like crazy!!!
[18:28] <Javelin> XD
[18:28] <Laffey> :D
[18:28] <Ayanami> :/
[18:31] *** Meanwhile, back at the apartments.
[18:32] * Konata Izumi stands in front of Chibi-AnTil's apartment door.
[18:32] *** It opens entirely on its own.
[18:32] * Konata Izumi walks in.
